| stip | pfifo: i want to do it with your other option. So you said i can get my windows back with a win7 restore cd. but i think its the same as the rescovery disk or the install disc. but its not so important. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| pfifo | ok, unplug all your usb stuff, then plug it all back in, then run 'dmesg' it will give you a LOT! of text pastebin all of it | 00:00 |
| anigma | I managed to delete my bottom panel... how do I get that back? | 00:00 |
| acerimmer_ | Xintruder: http://www.apple.com/opensource/ | 00:00 |
| Xintruder | good programs there? | 00:01 |
| rww | anigma: right-click another panel, click New Panel, adjust accordingly | 00:01 |
| acerimmer_ | anigma: right click the top panel and add a new panel | 00:01 |
| acerimmer_ | Xintruder: go there and see. | 00:01 |
| rww | or, to reset all panels, | 00:01 |
| rww | !resetpanel | 00:01 |
| ubottu | To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 00:01 |
| skiwithpete | thanks acer rimmer | 00:01 |
| Xintruder | acerimmer_: this is kinda only text - know one with ratings screenshots peopls reviews? | 00:01 |
| pfifo | stip, yes, i am thinking that your windows 7 install CD has a install mode and a rescue mode, try and see if you can use a rescue mode with it to reinstall the bootloader. Im sorry but my windows 7 support only covers a few basic things. | 00:01 |

| acerimmer_ | Xintruder: IDK offhand but lemme look | 00:01 |
| acerimmer_ | Xintruder: trhis might work better for you | 00:02 |
| pfifo | Myfathervsyours, no, delete the '|tail' part, run 'dmesg' alone | 00:02 |

| KungFuJesus | Hello, when can I expect an updated libexiv2 for Ubuntu? There is a HUGELY annoying bug on imports of images which contain metadata from Nikon DSLR cameras | 00:07 |
| DefaultTo0 | Hi. I noticed that Transmission v2 was released today. Does anyone know when it's going to appear in the Ubuntu update manager? | 00:07 |
| KungFuJesus | need libexiv2-9 ASAP | 00:07 |
| stip | Pfifo: ok thank you and have a good day/night/evening :) | 00:07 |
| pfifo | Myfathervsyours, ok thats a good start, on my system i have like 15 different things running off usb, 2 different hubs. what all do you have? | 00:07 |
| acerimmer_ | skiwithpete: i should say not publically released as they were going after the oem market... | 00:07 |
| Myfathervsyours | a eternal hdd -fat32 | 00:08 |
| hiexpo | KungFuJesus, check softpedia | 00:08 |
| Myfathervsyours | and other external hdd on ext 3 | 00:08 |
| Myfathervsyours | and a webcam | 00:08 |
| rodolfols | Hello! | 00:09 |
| stercor | How do I put a .deb into a Ubuntu system. | 00:09 |
| Myfathervsyours | sorry, pfifo, and external hdd (fat32), ohter (ext3) and a webcam | 00:09 |
| hiexpo | !deb | stercor | 00:09 |
| ubottu | stercor: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. | 00:09 |
| soreau | stercor: Install it with dpkg -i package.deb | 00:09 |
| skiwithpete | I can't believe that | 00:09 |
| Ichat | anyone here could try and help me getting softraid up and running... | 00:09 |
| KungFuJesus | hiexpo: why does softpedia have ubuntu packages? | 00:10 |
| Myfathervsyours | pfifo, is that what you were asking, weren't you? | 00:10 |
| pfifo | Myfathervsyours, yes | 00:10 |
| Ichat | KungFuJesus: - because they do | 00:10 |
| Xintruder | acer | 00:10 |
| hiexpo | KungFuJesus, they have many linux packages if you know linux you would know that also try sourcefourge | 00:11 |
| stercor | KungFuJesus: because they're smart?Z | 00:11 |
| hiexpo | sourceforge | 00:11 |
| pfifo | Myfathervsyours, is it through a hub? some usb device draw power from the port, and other have a power supply that plugs into the wall, most hubs cant provide enough power to run everything | 00:11 |
| KungFuJesus | I don't understand why I'm relying on a third party distributor for .debs. Why isn't a fixed version of this up and going in the repo? | 00:11 |
| KungFuJesus | This seems like such a simple fix, I'd rather build it myself than grab it from softpedia | 00:12 |
| thune3 | KungFuJesus: which version do you want? | 00:12 |
| KungFuJesus | >=.19 is when it was fixed | 00:12 |
| KungFuJesus | it's a pretty broad encompassing bug, you'd think canonical would have fixed it by now | 00:13 |
| hiexpo | KungFuJesus, - don't ask a silly ? if you want a fix go to were i told you remember this is a non paid free help channel to help you and others | 00:13 |
| quizme | why would i get "command not found: export" from within a ruby script? | 00:13 |
| Myfathervsyours | pfifo, is directly to the computer | 00:14 |
| KungFuJesus | quizme: you're using a shell which doesn't use export. You probably don't have the shell specified in the #! beginning of the script | 00:14 |
| pfifo | quizme, this is ubuntu, i think you want #php | 00:14 |
| KungFuJesus | pfifo: what does ruby have to do with php? | 00:14 |
| hiexpo | KungFuJesus, did u come here to get help or just insultthe people helping ? | 00:15 |
| pfifo | ruby is a php framework right? ohh n/m im thinking ruby on rails | 00:15 |
| KungFuJesus | I was hoping there would be somebody from canonical in here that knows what's going on but it looks like I'm going to have to take this to launchpad | 00:15 |
| pfifo | Myfathervsyours, are you dual booting and if so dose this work in other OS | 00:16 |
| Myfathervsyours | yes | 00:16 |
| clammy | can anyone let me know what they make of this? i got it running chkrootkit. http://pastebin.org/338797 | 00:16 |

| AdminX | malcom this is | 00:17 |
| pfifo | Myfathervsyours, ok have you ever gotten usb devices to work in any version of ubuntu or any linux/bsd/solaris | 00:17 |
| KungFuJesus | I'm using lucid, it has me on .18 | 00:17 |

| malcom | AdminX hi | 00:20 |
| foxmulder881 | jmad980: yeah I am so sick of people referring to lucid as 10.4. It's not 10.4. It's 10.04. | 00:20 |
| jmad980 | yup | 00:20 |
| lepine | I've got a weird problem that google didn't turn up much about. | 00:20 |
| AdminX | malcom Hello | 00:20 |
| tragedy | 10.04,sorry,this is my first build,noobie,lol | 00:20 |
| lepine | My machine takes about 5 seconds between each ping request it sends | 00:20 |
| KungFuJesus | I'll try temporarily building and install .20 from source and see if it fixes the problem, if not I'll have to reinstall using ubuntus repos and hope for the best. :-/ | 00:20 |
| lepine | the ping times are great, ~20ms like usual ... but sending and getting back 5 pings takes almost 30 seconds | 00:21 |
| thune3 | KungFuJesus: the thread says it was supposed to be fixed in 0.19-2 | 00:21 |
| KungFuJesus | foxmulder881: is 04/2010 any different from 4/2010? | 00:21 |
| lepine | I saw bug reports that mentionned openvpn, but I don't have it installed at the moment. | 00:21 |
| pepee | has anyone used emesene2? | 00:21 |
| pfifo | tragedy, yeah technically its 10.04, but for your question, when using linux to burn HD movies you will want to extract the video from the source BD and reencode it using something like mplayer or ffmpeg, then remaster it with a program like tovid. in short, no we dont really have a all-in-one push one button to copy solution | 00:21 |
| lepine | This happens when I'm doing it both as myself and as root | 00:21 |
| foxmulder881 | KungFuJesus: don't be pedantic. | 00:22 |
| KungFuJesus | thune3: gah, I guess I'll use the .deb from maverick, then | 00:22 |
| lepine | using ping -f has no effect | 00:22 |
| lepine | Any ideas what could cause such a thing? | 00:22 |
| thune3 | KungFuJesus: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/exiv2 get the app and libs | 00:22 |
| KungFuJesus | thune3: thanks man, you've been helpful | 00:22 |
| Myfathervsyours | pfifo, no, i's windows | 00:23 |
| pfifo | lepine, could be a conflict with other parameters | 00:23 |
| clammy | is this a safe command, anyone? ./chkproc -v -v | 00:23 |
| KungFuJesus | foxmulder881: I'm just saying, it's based on date not specific versions. It's not like it's that big of a deal | 00:23 |
| lepine | "other parameters", such as? i'm doing "ping host.tld", no more | 00:24 |
| lepine | pfifo: ^ | 00:24 |
| pfifo | lepine, ohh then try 'sudo ping -f host.tld' | 00:24 |
| lepine | pfifo: I did! same thing! | 00:24 |
| foxmulder881 | KungFuJesus: it's people being too lazy to add the zero. That's what it is. | 00:24 |
| tragedy | the rips are already encoded and ready to go,i need a burning program that will keep the right resolution | 00:24 |
| lepine | you can't pinf flood as a mortal user | 00:25 |
| lepine | *ping | 00:25 |
| hiexpo | ubuntu version are based on date | 00:25 |
| LinuxNIT | what does it take to boot the iso from a usb drive? (yes i saw the instructions for UBUNTU but im not on ubuntu) | 00:25 |
| civixier | How do i hide "Wine System Tray"? | 00:25 |
| clammy | is this a safe command, anyone? ./chkproc -v -v | 00:26 |
| KungFuJesus | foxmulder881: but why does this bother you so? Some people say "OS Ten" and some people say "OS Ex", it's the same, it's not like there is a version 10.4 to confuse it with | 00:26 |
| pfifo | Myfathervsyours, im thinking your root hub might not be supported by linux yet, since you havent ever gotten it working in any linux environment it would be safe to assume that atleast. lets do a 'lspci' and a 'lsusb' commands to pastebin and see what you are working with | 00:26 |
| hiexpo | change boot order put usb on top | 00:26 |
| LinuxNIT | hiexpo, it is | 00:26 |
| Jordan_U | LinuxNIT: You can use Unetbootin to put the Ubuntu install CD onto a flash drive. | 00:26 |
| hiexpo | LinuxNIT, what is ? | 00:26 |
| civixier | I cant neither minimize nor close the "Wine System Tray", is there another way to hide it? | 00:26 |
| LinuxNIT | Jordan_U, in linux? | 00:26 |
| foxmulder881 | KungFuJesus: I guess I'm either specific or particular with versioning. Or both. | 00:26 |
| Jordan_U | LinuxNIT: Linux or windows. | 00:27 |
| Joshua_Roberts | besides VLC and codecs what else should I install to cover windows media player and mpeg4 media playback? | 00:27 |
| pfifo | lepine, what is your average ping without -f | 00:27 |
| LinuxNIT | thanks Jordan_U i was thinking that was windows only | 00:27 |
| Joshua_Roberts | in ubuntu 9.10 64 bit.. | 00:27 |
| lepine | pfifo: I ping ~20ms | 00:28 |
| * LinuxNIT thinks Ubuntu devs should but generic instructions on the site for linux | 00:28 | |

| kaeser_ntbk | sudo rm -rf /* | 00:28 |

| kaeser_ntbk | wtf? | 00:29 |
| Jordan_U | LinuxNIT: Never mind, that page used to have more generic instructions before USB creator existed. | 00:29 |
| hiexpo | oh it is on top u meant ok that it is ok /// also there are 2 differant usb to put on top | 00:29 |
| dim3000 | soreau: I don't think so | 00:29 |
| kaeser_ntbk | get out of my terminal | 00:29 |

| DefaultTo0 | Hi. I noticed that Transmission v2 was released today. Does anyone know when it's going to appear in the Ubuntu update manager? | 00:30 |
| soreau | dim3000: Does installing bcmwl-kernel-source install the proprietary driver for it then? | 00:30 |
| tic^ | must be something in the air tonight. | 00:30 |
| Daekdroom | DefaultTo0, in 10.04, it won't | 00:30 |
| DefaultTo0 | Daekdroom: Why so? | 00:31 |
| lepine | pfifo: Interesting, when I ssh to my local machine, ping will exit when i do ctrl-C ... when directly on terminal emulator, it takes its sweet time (~3-4 secs) | 00:31 |
| pfifo | lepine, ok are you fully aware of what -f dose? it prints a . (period) when it sends a ping, and prints a , (comma) when it gets a response, then deletes them both. it might be that it is going so fast that it only appears to be blank | 00:31 |
| lepine | pfifo: yes, I am aware it floods | 00:31 |
| Incarnation | Would it be possible for me to virtualize a partition of my hard drive that I use to boot into windows XP on ubuntu? | 00:31 |
| rww | soreau: yes | 00:31 |
| Daekdroom | DefaultTo0, it's a update of a stable program. They're not likely to push the bar by doing an update that can actually create bugs. | 00:31 |
| soreau | rww: Ok thank you | 00:31 |
| dim3000 | soreau: this should do it, sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter | 00:32 |
| Jordan_U | kaeser_ntbk: Type "/quit" to exit your IRC client. | 00:32 |
| KungFuJesus | thune3: uhg, post new-installation I'm still having the problem. I'm going to have to make sure that what's mentioned in ldd points to the correct place | 00:32 |
| kaeser_ntbk | "/quit" | 00:32 |
| Jordan_U | kaeser_ntbk: Without the quotes. | 00:32 |
| rww | soreau: there's also the b43 driver, which is installed by default but requires non-free firmware which b43-fwcutter will fetch. Some cards work with one, some with the other, some with both. | 00:32 |
| kaeser_ntbk | "quit" | 00:32 |
| pfifo | lepine,your router or firewall could be blocking it, can you verify that your packets are getting through? | 00:32 |
| LjL | kaeser_ntbk: stop being silly. | 00:32 |
| kaeser_ntbk | ?? | 00:32 |
| dim3000 | soreau: sorry i meant b43-fwcutter package | 00:33 |
| lepine | can someone kick ban kaeser_ntbk ? | 00:33 |
| Eighteens | /quit | 00:33 |
| soreau | rww: dim3000: That gives me a better idea, thanks | 00:33 |
| dim3000 | soreau: Even easier is to open Hardware Drivers and it should detect it | 00:33 |
| Incarnation | How can I use virtualization software to mount my WinXP partition? | 00:33 |
| lepine | pfifo: no a network issue, sniffing the traffic did show obvious problems. I mean, I am getting responses quickly after sending the rquests | 00:34 |
| thune3 | KungFuJesus: just to check, you installed both exiv2 and libexiv2 | 00:34 |
| soreau | dim3000: Well I'm not going to have internet so I need to know which packages I need to put on my usb stick ;) | 00:34 |
| hiexpo | man something in the air or lack of air maybe | 00:34 |
| lepine | I just send the requests really slowly | 00:34 |
| Jordan_U | Incarnation: Do you want to mount it (access its files) or boot it? | 00:34 |
| dim3000 | soreau: Yeah that's what I do ;) | 00:34 |
| Incarnation | Jordan_U: I want to boot it | 00:34 |
| kaeser_ntbk | stop this ctcp thing, don't hack me | 00:34 |
| thune3 | KungFuJesus: plus you will have to restart any app that is calling the library, after installation | 00:35 |
| kaeser_ntbk | rww, ??? | 00:35 |
| lepine | /ignore kaeser_ntbk | 00:35 |
| pfifo | lepine, your ethernet card has a queue, it must be queuing the outgoing packets, which makes sense unde a flood condition. specially if your ISP takes measures to prevent ddos | 00:35 |
| ShapeShifter499 | I was about to d-load the 64 bit 10.04 but it said "Not recommended for daily desktop usage" should I still download this? | 00:36 |
| voglster | Incarnation, both vmware and wirtual box can boot native partitions.. but i would setup a different hardware profile in xp before you do | 00:36 |
| iflema | soreau all you need is on the install cd...... both b43fwcutter and bcmwl-kernel-source are on there | 00:36 |
| Incarnation | voglster: How do I set up a different hardware profile in XP? | 00:37 |
| soreau | iflema: Ok thanks | 00:37 |
| voglster | Incarnation, google? i havent run xp in forever... jsut rememebr doing that way back when | 00:37 |
| iflema | soreau just add install cd as repo when ready to install | 00:38 |
| Nitro | Hey, can anyone help me install Teamspeak 3 for Ubuntu? | 00:38 |

| ShapeShifter499 | is 64 bit ubuntu ok to use for every day use? | 00:38 |
| rww | ShapeShifter499: yes | 00:38 |
| ennui | anyone have any experience with partitioning external drives while retaining data on the drive? I know boot camp can do that for your boot drive, but wasn't sure about non-boot externals | 00:38 |
| voglster | ubuntu ;-) hence why im in this channel | 00:38 |
| Incarnation | voglster: okay :P | 00:38 |
| foxmulder881 | Incarnation: this is Ubuntu channel. Go to #windows | 00:38 |
| soreau | iflema: Right, I got it now. | 00:38 |
| ShapeShifter499 | k | 00:39 |
| Incarnation | foxmulder881: only because I'm doing it in Ubuntu | 00:39 |
| Jordan_U | ennui: Gparted lets you do that. It's actually a failry common taks. | 00:39 |
| dim3000 | soreau: Take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx under the No Internet Access for detailed steps | 00:39 |
| soreau | dim3000: Yea I already read that but it's confusing because there are two drivers and I need b43 apparently, which has the injection support | 00:40 |
| ennui | Jordan_U: So I could say.... take a external that is just media files. add a small partition to it while retaining the rest of the data, and then put an OS installer on that partition and boot from it? | 00:41 |
| dim3000 | soreau: Yeah there's a separate section for b43 (btw i have a b43 and injection is great ;) | 00:41 |
| foxmulder881 | Incarnation: how the hell do you plan to do that from within Ubuntu? | 00:41 |
| Incarnation | foxmulder881: we'll find out soon enough | 00:41 |
| soreau | dim3000: I am used to using atheros chips | 00:41 |
| orikon | hello | 00:42 |
| Flannel | Incarnation: Yes, you should be able to boot from an existing partition into a virtual environment | 00:42 |
| orikon | does anyone know why I would have 80+ outbound connections everytime I open chrome or firefox? to the point my internet stops working until i close the browser | 00:42 |
| Flannel | foxmulder881: Please try and be a little bit more polite, thanks :) | 00:43 |
| qcode | How do I determine if it's Ubuntu desktop or server (programatically)? | 00:43 |
| kaeser_ntbk | orikon, ie doesn't do that | 00:43 |
| kaeser_ntbk | try it | 00:43 |
| Daekdroom | qcode, does it have a GUI? | 00:43 |
| Incarnation | Flannel: Yes, I will sort it out | 00:43 |
| Daekdroom | qcode, if it does, it's desktop | 00:43 |
| foxmulder881 | Flannel: I thought I was. <rolls eyes> | 00:43 |
| kaeser_ntbk | with wine at least, if you don't have money for a decent os | 00:43 |
| orikon | i can use ie in linux? | 00:43 |
| Flannel | qcode: There's no intrinsic difference. There's a number of ways to figure it out depending on why you need to know. What will you be using it for? | 00:43 |
| qcode | Daekdroom: Well, the user can install the GUI/Gnome | 00:43 |
| kaeser_ntbk | orikon, with wine yes | 00:43 |
| Daekdroom | qcode, indeed.. well, there's the kernel diference.. | 00:43 |
| kaeser_ntbk | don't expect to run the best browser in the worst system though | 00:44 |
| foxmulder881 | orikon: do you need IE specifically? | 00:44 |
| qcode | Flannel: Just curious - is there a way to find out like /proc or uname? | 00:44 |
| orikon | oh, well even if that worked, i'd much rather use chrome or firefox | 00:44 |
| Daekdroom | qcode, uname -r should return a -server kernel | 00:44 |
| qcode | There's "server" as part of -server | 00:44 |
| qcode | Can I rely on that? | 00:44 |
| ^DEMOSS^ | ðø ôää | 00:44 |
| Flannel | qcode: Well, everything is just packages that are installed. There's a server specific kernel, but you could install that on a desktop the same way you could install a GUI on a "server" install. | 00:44 |
| ^DEMOSS^ | hi all | 00:44 |
| qcode | Thanks | 00:44 |
| orikon | no, i'm getting an abnormal amount of outbound connections in chrome and firefox | 00:44 |
| ^DEMOSS^ | i need some help (^_^) | 00:45 |
| soreau | dim3000: Do you need 'compat-wireless' package for broadcom to work? | 00:45 |
| Flannel | qcode: So no, there's no real way since there's no real differences as a whole. But again, if you're looking for compatability with something or other, there might be other indicators you could use | 00:45 |
| kaeser_ntbk | orikon, this is normal | 00:45 |
| soreau | dim3000: And what about firmware for the chip? | 00:45 |
| dim3000 | soreau: Never heard of it so don't think so | 00:45 |
| orikon | but it gets to the point that my internet stops working entirely until i close the browser and reopen it | 00:45 |
| warddr | !ask ^DEMOSS^ | 00:45 |
| soreau | dim3000: For injection to work, that is. I assume you just use b43 driver? | 00:45 |
| warddr | !ask | ^DEMOSS^ | 00:45 |
| ubottu | ^DEMOSS^: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 00:45 |
| qcode | Flannel: Do you think the kernels for server and desktop are built differently? | 00:46 |
| ^DEMOSS^ | how i can get file from server 10.0.11.3 in our local network ? | 00:46 |
| orikon | then it works for a few minutes as i see the outbound connections increase and then the internet slows to a crawl | 00:46 |
| qcode | Flannel: I'm wondering if the .config files are set up differently for server and desktop. | 00:46 |
| Daekdroom | qcode, they are. Server kernels have more stability and a little less performance. | 00:46 |
| qcode | Ah, I see | 00:46 |
| Flannel | qcode: They are. They support slightly different hardware, and have some other optimizations. Server has some stuff disabled, like PREEMPT, and has PAE enabled, and other things like that. | 00:46 |
| dim3000 | soreau: Yes that's it I think | 00:47 |
| Flannel | Daekdroom: that's not correct | 00:47 |
| qcode | Thanks guys! | 00:47 |
| ^DEMOSS^ | ubuntu 10.04 ( smb package may be installed ) | 00:47 |
| Daekdroom | Flannel, I thought the server kernel had a higher latency in order to be stable and save power | 00:47 |
| wildbat | ^DEMOSS^, depends on what protocols you use for file sharing(if any) | 00:47 |
| ^DEMOSS^ | SMB | 00:47 |
| wildbat | !smb | ^DEMOSS^ | 00:48 |
| ubottu | ^DEMOSS^: 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. | 00:48 |
| Flannel | Daekdroom: It ticks at a different rate, yeah, and has PREEMPTive multitasking disabled and stuff, because in a server environment, that's a better way to run it for more performance | 00:48 |
| qcode | I guess I can do a diff on /boot/config-2.6.18-xx-server and the one for desktop to find out the differences | 00:48 |
| kaeser_ntbk | Does your mom's dildo got foss drivers? | 00:48 |

| astroboy | Do I have to do something strange do preserve the recovery partition when installing ubuntu on a laptop (in this case an ideapad s10e) | 00:48 |
| Flannel | Daekdroom: Basically, the server kernel tries to let things run for longer periods uninterupted, since it doesn't need to be paranoid about responding to interrupts (such as the mouse and stuff) immediately (on a desktop, that same setup might cause the mouse to appear to react after a bit of lag or whatnot) | 00:49 |

| dim3000 | Jaikkuli: how are the pieces named? | 01:06 |

| inaety | Hello everyone, I have a question regarding resizing and merging unallocated space. I have a dual boot machine with win7 and ubuntu, and I want to make the windows partition much smaller and make the ubuntu partition much bigger. I am on a livecd with gparted right now but am not sure where to go | 01:31 |
| arve | how do i reload whatever deamon is using /etc/nsswitch.conf? (so i don't have to relog after each edit) | 01:31 |
| bastidrazor | !controls | clayg | 01:31 |
| ubottu | clayg: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/532633/comments/564 | To move them back to the right-hand side, see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/move-buttons-to-right-side | 01:31 |
| mmomjian | phenom: I have no experience with sony sorry | 01:31 |
| pfifo | tyler_d|werkin, pastebin the script please | 01:31 |
| mmomjian | inaety: Start gparted. Do you have that/ | 01:31 |
| inaety | mmomjian: yes, its open | 01:31 |
| phenom | Is there a channel with actual developers in it? | 01:32 |
| clayg | schweeet, thanks all worked like a charm | 01:32 |
| mmomjian | inaety: So click on the NTFS partition, size it down, then size up the EXT4 | 01:32 |
| pfifo | im a developer :D | 01:32 |
| mmomjian | phenom: the devs don't do support | 01:32 |
| dim3000 | phenom: try #ubuntu-devel | 01:32 |
| tyler_d|werkin | pfifo: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/1i22szTR | 01:32 |
| mmomjian | not in the dev channel | 01:32 |
| Zelozelos | ok well there u go ;) i only remember the alt+f2 part, heh | 01:32 |
| mmomjian | dim3000: No support in #ubuntu-devel | 01:32 |
| clayg | on ubuntu with my dell mini 10, when i unplug the power adapter i lose wireless, it is unable to even see any networks, anyone have any ideas? | 01:32 |
| mmomjian | clayg: That's weird, is it a BIOS thing? | 01:33 |
| phenom | So where else can I go for help with my problems? | 01:33 |
| inaety | mmomjian: I tried that but the EXT4 has a lock next to it and I can't change it after freeing the space from the NTFS | 01:33 |
| tyler_d|werkin | phenom: what is your problem sory? | 01:33 |
| clayg | mmomjian, hmmm didn't even occur to me to check | 01:33 |
| phenom | Appears my problems are beyond configuration issues. | 01:33 |
| mmomjian | inaety: oh, so unmount it. Are you on a live cd? Try running the command sudo umount /dev/sdaN | 01:33 |
| acerimmer_ | clayg: check power settings? i'm GUESSING that you have a setting that kills that service on DC power... | 01:33 |
| clayg | and truth be told it does it in windows too | 01:33 |
| clayg | so very possible | 01:33 |
| mmomjian | inaety: N should be the number of the locked partition | 01:33 |
| clayg | cool, thanks alot guys ill check it out now | 01:33 |
| mmomjian | inaety: wait, did you start gparted with gksu? | 01:33 |
| phenom | tyler_d|werkin, My virtual terminals don't work. Touchpad on laptop no longer scrolls since lucid upgrade | 01:33 |
| inaety | mmomjian: Yes I am on a livecd and it says they're both unmounted haha | 01:34 |
| phenom | watching full screen flash vids are horribly choppy since hardy* | 01:34 |
| pfifo | tyler_d|werkin, my guess is that the command the script is running is throwint the error, not the script itself | 01:34 |
| tyler_d|werkin | phenom: using what software? virtual terminals meaning what? you have vm's installed on it? | 01:34 |
| mmomjian | inaety: you have to start it as sudo | 01:34 |
| mmomjian | tyler_d|werkin: ctrl+alt+fN... | 01:34 |
| phenom | tyler_d|werkin, No,, I get a blank screen when I hit ctrl alt f1 and the like | 01:35 |
| inaety | mmomjian: I AM ROOT | 01:35 |
| mmomjian | inaety: so... there's still a lock? | 01:35 |
| mmomjian | is there any tooltip over it? | 01:35 |
| phenom | I used to get a screen fulll of _ _ _ characters | 01:35 |
| inaety | mmomjian: accidental caps, my friend | 01:35 |
| Downix | and here we ggo, it just clocked down again!!! | 01:35 |

| phenom | tyler_d|werkin, ok sorry. init sessions | 01:37 |
| tyler_d|werkin | phenom: that is a video card problem, do you have proprietary drivers | 01:37 |
| inaety | mmomjian: www.paste.ubuntu.com/451857 | 01:38 |
| phenom | This pc does have an nvidia card, so I expect problems on this, but my other hp has intel integrated blah blah,, and worked before upgrade to hardy | 01:38 |
| Downix | Can someone please explain why Ubuntu insists that my CPU is 1Ghz, it refuses to stick to any other speed, instead hqard-setting it to 1Ghz | 01:38 |
| mmomjian | inaety: in the future don't put www in the front, it breaks it... try http:// | 01:38 |

| inaety | mmomjian: yeah sorry i am copying it from a laptop | 01:39 |
| mmomjian | oh | 01:39 |
| tyler_d|werkin | phenom: as well do "sudo tail -f /var/log/dmesg /var/log/Xorg.0.log /var/log/syslog" and check the output after you try and switch | 01:39 |
| mmomjian | no internet on the live cd? | 01:39 |

| mmomjian | inaety: ... and have you tried restarting gparted? | 01:41 |
| Downix | Back to 1Ghz | 01:41 |
| mmomjian | There's no reason for anything to be locked if it's run as root | 01:41 |
| mmomjian | (since they're all umountedc) | 01:41 |
| Downix | This is beyond rediculous | 01:41 |

| mmomjian | Downix: isn't there a panel button to inhibit slowing the cpu? | 01:42 |
| Downix | how can I get my work done if I'm loosing most of my processing power? | 01:42 |
| mmomjian | inaety: I know... this makes no sense | 01:42 |
| mmomjian | Downix: are you sure the scaling isn't a bios setting? | 01:42 |
| electrofreak | hello | 01:42 |
| inaety | mmomjian: okay, well it makes no sense cause i'm dumb. /dev/sda4 is locked but it is "Extended" and /dev/sda5 is unlocked but that's my EXT4 | 01:42 |
| mmomjian | oh... :P | 01:43 |
| mmomjian | I don't think you can resize extended partition | 01:43 |
| mmomjian | I think you can just resize the contents | 01:43 |
| Downix | mmomjian, I'll double check, the panel icon constantly shows it resetting, but no idea why BIOS would clock-down my CPU. I'll reboot and check | 01:43 |
| foxmulder881 | mmomjian: true. | 01:43 |
| mmomjian | downstream: usually there's an option there | 01:43 |
| mmomjian | foxmulder881: about resizing extended partitions? | 01:43 |
| inaety | mmomjian: well, then what should i do from here cause I cant handle ubuntu being like 4 gigs haha | 01:43 |
| foxmulder881 | mmomjian: yes. | 01:43 |
| mmomjian | inaety: Then you can just click on the ext4 and resize it | 01:44 |
| edbian | mmomjian, The extended partition is a the container for logical partitions. Primary partitions cannot reside inside an extended partition | 01:44 |
| phenom | tyler_d|werkin, http://pastebin.com/MCL3FTQx | 01:44 |
| inaety | mmomjian: after resizing the NTFS? | 01:44 |
| mmomjian | edbian: so how can he fix this? | 01:44 |
| edbian | inaety, Catch me up real quick? | 01:44 |
| ironfroggy | after an upgrade to Lynx, all my python virtualenvs are broken and the only advice i have found is to rebuild the virtualenvs. is that honestly the only solution? | 01:45 |

| electrofreak | I currently have an ubuntu server install from 2008 sometime... I originally installed it onto a single IDE drive using LVM for my volumes. I want to actually move it to two new hard drives running in RAID1. Will there be any problems copying everything from LVM "volumes" onto just plain partitions? I don't have interest in using LVM any more. | 01:45 |
| mmomjian | issue is, the ext4 is in an extended partition | 01:45 |
| inaety | edbian: I have a dualboot of win7 and ubuntu 10. and I want to make the NTFS much smaller and the ubuntu EXT4 bigger | 01:45 |
| tyler_d|werkin | phenom: you need to fix your alsa-mixer --- usb | 01:45 |
| === Weust`afk is now known as Weust` | ||
| tyler_d|werkin | phenom: once that is done you will be set | 01:45 |
| greezmunkey | electrofreak: I don't see why you would have an issue, are you going to maintain the same filesystem | 01:46 |
| edbian | inaety, You can't adjust partitions you have mounted. Boot a live CD (ubuntu will work but so will many others) and make sure nothing is mounted. Fire up gparted and shrink / grow / move to your heart's content. Back up your data first. There is a small chance you could destroy it all! | 01:46 |
| phenom | tyler_d|werkin, Any idea where to start? | 01:46 |
| tyler_d|werkin | phenom: I would recommend checking and re-installing alsa-mixer and related packages through the repo, as well the proprietary drivers for your nvidia card | 01:46 |
| mmomjian | edbian: he's in a live cd | 01:46 |
| inaety | edbian: I am on a livecd and everything is unmounted | 01:46 |
| tyler_d|werkin | phenom: I have to run now, but thats your start ;) | 01:46 |
| phenom | thanks tyler_d|werkin | 01:46 |
| mmomjian | inaety: can you look at this? http://gparted.sourceforge.net/larry/resize/resizing.htm | 01:46 |
| mmomjian | down at point 3 | 01:46 |
| inaety | mmomjian: and I AM ROOT :P | 01:46 |
| phenom | I'll give it a few minutes before I get mad and storm off :P Thanks | 01:47 |
| greezmunkey | electrofreak: I mean structure, from / on up | 01:47 |
| edbian | inaety, So are the options to shrink / resize / grow greyed out? Can you send me a screen shot using image shack or something? | 01:47 |
| electrofreak | greezmunkey, well... I'm taking the files, etc... probably going to format the new one ext4. I believe I know all the other details of the operation, just wondering if forgoing the LVM stuff will cause any problems | 01:47 |
| mmomjian | inaety: I concur, a screenshot would be good | 01:47 |
| inaety | edbian: mmomjian: sure what do you guys want a screen shot of? just gparted? | 01:47 |
| edbian | inaety, That link mmomjian sent is good but was that not clear? | 01:47 |
| mmomjian | yup, just gparted | 01:47 |
| greezmunkey | electrofreak: that's low level as far as the files are concerned. You should be able to move that pretty easily. | 01:47 |
| edbian | inaety, Yeah | 01:47 |
| mmomjian | edbian: the issue is the extended partitions appears to be locked for some reason | 01:48 |
| mmomjian | so he can't resize it | 01:48 |
| Jaikkuli | dim3000: sorry it took so long | 01:48 |

| dim3000 | Jaikkuli: whats weird that is supposed to work, maybe the zip is corrupted? | 01:48 |

| mmomjian | everything looks clear | 01:49 |
| electrofreak | greezmunkey, as I thought, so. cool. I should just use cp -a /old /new, right? | 01:49 |
| inaety | edbian: swap may be mounted | 01:49 |
| greezmunkey | electrofreak: you may hav issues with some config files that are coded to look at a particular drive location, and you will have grub to deal with. | 01:49 |
| mmomjian | inaety: it's not | 01:49 |
| edbian | inaety, in a term: swapoff | 01:49 |
| greezmunkey | electrofreak: pretty much. yeah. | 01:49 |
| Jaikkuli | dim3000: i gues i'll go back to square one and transfer my file a different way :D i cannot be bothered to continue pursuing this anymore | 01:50 |

| dim3000 | Jaikkuli: np, sorry it didnt work out, this is a first | 01:51 |
| greezmunkey | electrofreak: you should print out a filesystem map of some sort, as a reference | 01:51 |
| SoftwareExplorer | phenom: You mean two finger scrolling? | 01:51 |
| mmomjian | SoftwareExplorer: I think he means when there's a column on the right | 01:51 |
| inaety | mmomjian: edbian: http://i50.tinypic.com/2iu9e1d.png | 01:51 |
| greezmunkey | electrofreak: like your old fstab, grub config, etc. | 01:51 |
| phenom | SoftwareExplorer, No,, regular scrolling | 01:52 |
| edbian | inaety, The little key means swap is mounted. | 01:52 |
| Jaikkuli | dim3000: do you know of a format that can automatically be handled by ubuntu? | 01:52 |
| mmomjian | inaety: i'll be, swap is on | 01:52 |
| Jaikkuli | dim3000: rar for example | 01:52 |
| electrofreak | greezmunkey, yep. of course. | 01:52 |
| blut | hello? | 01:52 |
| edbian | inaety, Right click it and choose "swap off" | 01:52 |
| phenom | SoftwareExplorer, To scroll down a webpage etc without manually doing it with click/drag/drop etc | 01:52 |
| mmomjian | blut: do you have a problem? | 01:52 |
| greezmunkey | electrofreak: and, if it doesn't work the first time you still have your old drive. | 01:52 |
| jcxl | can anybody help me set up x11 forwarding? | 01:52 |
| edbian | inaety, or in a term: "swapoff" without quotes | 01:52 |
| blut | mmomjian: yes | 01:52 |
| inaety | edbian: mmomjian: oh that got rid of both locks! | 01:52 |
| edbian | inaety, Now go nuts! :) | 01:52 |
| SoftwareExplorer | phenom: System>Preferences>Mouse and the touchpad tab has options about that | 01:52 |
| inaety | edbian: i did the right click | 01:52 |
| blut | i can't join wine but i need help with a game | 01:52 |
| mmomjian | inaety: now you gotta size down the ntfs | 01:52 |
| blut | i don't get whats wrong | 01:53 |
| phenom | SoftwareExplorer, Yep,, been there,, no affect. | 01:53 |
| bazhang | blut its #winehq | 01:53 |
| edbian | inaety, yep | 01:53 |
| bazhang | blut, check the appdb | 01:53 |
| inaety | mmomjian: edbian: one last question, does the extended "size" count include the ext4 + the swap? | 01:53 |
| bazhang | !appdb | blut | 01:53 |
| ubottu | blut: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 01:53 |
| edbian | inaety, The light blue is the extended partition. So yes | 01:53 |
| mmomjian | inaety: it involves everything under the arrow | 01:53 |
| downix | Ok, checked BIOS, all is set properly. | 01:54 |
| mmomjian | inaety: so now you can scale down the ntfs (which will take a while, since it has to move everything to the right) | 01:54 |
| mmomjian | then you can move the swap right and scale up ubuntu | 01:54 |
| downix | I am running console-mode to minimize CPU usage | 01:54 |
| edbian | inaety, You also have unallocated gray space which isn't useful. | 01:54 |
| mmomjian | edbian: He'll probably fill that in once he scales ext4 up | 01:55 |
| inaety | edbian: mmomjian: i just resized the NTFS to where i wanted, and it made more unallocated space. right? | 01:55 |
| mmomjian | inaety: right, the unallocated has to be above the ntfs though | 01:55 |
| edbian | inaety, It should | 01:55 |
| inaety | mmomjian: its under it. It won't let me just "pull" over the ext4 color like you guys said | 01:55 |
| Jaikkuli | does anyone know if ubuntu handles any particular compression format automatically for multi-part files? | 01:55 |
| mmomjian | inaety: when you resize the ntfs you have to move the left handle to the right | 01:56 |
| mmomjian | not move the right handle left | 01:56 |
| jcxl | can anybody help me set up x11 forwarding? | 01:56 |
| mmomjian | jcxl: as a client or a server | 01:56 |
| downix | mmomjian: my BIOS settings have two options, Scaling or minimal, so I have the option of my CPU being able to go up/down, or running at 1Ghz | 01:56 |
| edbian | inaety, The ext4 partition won't go outside the extended partition | 01:56 |
| mmomjian | downix: argh | 01:56 |
| jcxl | mmomjian, both | 01:57 |
| mmomjian | jcxl: usually you can just use ssh -X | 01:57 |
| mmomjian | as a client | 01:57 |
| downix | mmomjian: very bizzare. I mean, I can run in console-mode, 1Ghz is no big deal here save when I do 3D rendering. | 01:57 |
| mmomjian | downix: he scaled down to the wrong side | 01:57 |
| mmomjian | downix: I hear you. Blender? :D | 01:57 |
| inaety | edbian: mmomjian: Ah, I moved it to the right, so now the unallocated space is in the middle. still won't let me move the ext4 over though. Is it because its stuck in the extended? | 01:57 |
| edbian | inaety, You cannot make it larger than it's extended partition | 01:58 |
| mmomjian | inaety: now right click on the extended and size that up | 01:58 |
| mmomjian | downix: try this: sudo killall powernowd | 01:58 |
| greezmunkey | jcxl: make sure that X11Forwarding is enabled in /etc/ssh.sshd.conf - I believe it is by default, but it doesn't hurt to look. | 01:58 |

| mmomjian | downix: and that's with ondemand disabled? | 02:03 |
| inaety | edbian: no, its ugly. I cant stand how they clump all my windows into one icon on the taskbar. so if i have like three browser windows it just looks like one and i cant read the HTML title... | 02:03 |
| edbian | inaety, Ha ha ha. Welcome to the wonderful world of linux. How long have you been using it? | 02:04 |
| mmomjian | The thing I miss is "always on Top" and multiple workspaces... | 02:04 |
| jcxl | mmomjian, ah now it's the same thing but also 'no protocol specified' | 02:04 |
| inaety | edbian: linux? | 02:04 |
| mmomjian | I feel cluttered now with 8 desktops, how do you do it with 1? | 02:04 |
| mmomjian | jcxl: did you use ssh -X | 02:04 |
| downix | mmomjian: I've disabled it, but it is still sets it to one cpu, then sets it to the other as the system resets the right speed | 02:04 |
| edbian | inaety, .... You're using linux bud | 02:04 |
| mmomjian | jcxl: (capital x) | 02:04 |
| mmomjian | downix: I'd recommend a restart | 02:04 |
| downix | mmomjian: it's like there's a cron job running that's changing the profile to ondemand, but I've checked the cron | 02:04 |
| inaety | edbian: really? haha i meant how long have i been using windows 7 or linux? | 02:04 |
| downix | can't hurt, brb | 02:04 |
| jcxl | mmomjian, yeah, I get output telling me how to use SSH | 02:05 |
| edbian | inaety, Ubuntu: an operating system built on the linux kernel | 02:05 |
| mmomjian | jcxl: But you don't know if the server has x forwarding | 02:05 |
| orikon | does anyone know what unknown.scnet.net is? i see this multiple times in my outbound connections and it seems to be messing up my internet | 02:05 |
| inaety | edbian: about four years, but not much deeper than command line stuff | 02:05 |
| JunglPerv | I followed a step by step to see Ubuntu sees my soundcard and it appears to be working. I go into alsamixer to check volume levels. I set it to 6 channel and what I think are the apropriate sliders are all pushed up but my sound continues to only play out my two front left and right. | 02:05 |
| jcxl | mmomjian, well I own the server, and I've installed xserver and everything | 02:06 |
| edbian | inaety, No offense. How the hell have you been using Ubuntu for 4 years and not know it was linux? | 02:06 |
| mmomjian | jcxl: Do you have "X11Forwarding yes" in /etc/ssh/sshd.conf on server | 02:06 |
| jcxl | yep | 02:06 |
| mmomjian | jcxl: did you run sudo service sshd restart? | 02:06 |
| inaety | edbian: i did know it was linux! i was sarcastic with the "really?"...you asked me how long i had been using "it' | 02:07 |
| greezmunkey | mmomjian: Yeah, I misspoke on that file location earlier, it's /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 02:07 |
| mmomjian | Ah, the joys of text chat | 02:07 |

| mmomjian | jcxl: and it is restarted? | 02:07 |
| jcxl | yeah | 02:07 |

| Shapeshiftr | um, how do I assign my domain's IP to my MySql server? | 02:28 |
| mmomjian | Shapeshiftr: what do you mean? If MySQL is running on the server the IP is assigned | 02:28 |
| jcxl | mmomjian, one question: how do I restrict x11 forwarding to the 192.0.0.0/8 block? | 02:29 |
| jcxl | er | 02:29 |
| mmomjian | jcxl: umm, have a good password? | 02:29 |
| mmomjian | not quite sure | 02:29 |
| Shapeshiftr | but, how does it know my registered domain name? | 02:29 |
| DBeets | mmomjian: 2gb is too big. xubuntu is over 1gb. Also too big. I'm gonna go with fluxbox but I'm not sure which package to use to install xorg | 02:29 |
| Shapeshiftr | the whole server1.example.com buisness | 02:29 |

| mmomjian | umm... | 02:30 |
| mmomjian | xserver-xorg | 02:30 |
| DBeets | mmomjian: heheh ok thanks :) | 02:31 |
| Shapeshiftr | oh, I forgot to mention, I have the IP for my domain name, provided by a DNS server via registrar | 02:31 |
| mmomjian | mrunknown: do you have the tool xbacklight ? | 02:31 |
| mmomjian | Shapeshiftr: do you have a webserver running? | 02:31 |
| Shapeshiftr | kind of | 02:31 |
| Shapeshiftr | I have apache installed. | 02:31 |
| mmomjian | and the DNS works? | 02:31 |
| mrunknown | mmomjian: I do now... lol | 02:31 |
| gpm | hi. now that adobe has murdered amd64 flash, i've installed 32-bit with nspluginwrapper, but there's no sound. any advice? | 02:32 |
| Shapeshiftr | my question is, how do I implement that IP that I got from my registrar? | 02:32 |
| mmomjian | mrunknown: read up on that that might fix it | 02:32 |
| mmomjian | Shapeshiftr: Ah, so you want to know how to setup dns registration | 02:32 |
| Shapeshiftr | I guess? | 02:32 |
| mrunknown | mmomjian: thank you for giving me a direction to head in. I will reboot and give it a shot. | 02:32 |
| mmomjian | sure | 02:33 |
| Shapeshiftr | I'm new to Linux and private server hosting, so I don't know much about the different names/processes | 02:33 |
| mmomjian | Shapeshiftr: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-networking-configuration-using-command-line.html | 02:33 |
| mmomjian | that should explain everything | 02:33 |
| mrunknown | mmomjian: nevermind, xbacklight -get returns "0" as my brightness. lol. trying to set it does nothing either. | 02:33 |
| Shapeshiftr | one second, let me check something. | 02:33 |
| Shapeshiftr | will that work for 10.04 | 02:33 |
| Shapeshiftr | ? | 02:33 |
| xangua | gpm: adobe didn't killed flash for 64 bits, only stopped it's developmente; you can still install the latest aviable version with this PPA https://launchpad.net/~sevenmachines/+archive/flash (only lucid and karmic) | 02:34 |

| ubottu | Shapeshiftr: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL.

| cesar_CR | hello guys I want to upgrade (reinstall) to Ubuntu 10, but I want to have a list of the packets that I have installed, how can I do that ? | 02:35 |
| niccholaspage | Hello | 02:35 |
| IdleOne | !clone | cesar_CR | 02:35 |
| ubottu | cesar_CR: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 02:35 |
| dotblank | cesar_CR, dpkg -l > lisstofpackages.txt | 02:35 |
| niccholaspage | I have a question, involving SSH | 02:35 |
| xangua | cesar_CR: you can export a list using synaptic and import it again | 02:35 |
| rfmonk | wow, lot of people in chan | 02:36 |
| dotblank | still not over 9000 tho | 02:36 |
| rfmonk | i remember when there weren't so many | 02:36 |
| niccholaspage | I currently use X over SSH to access my Ubuntu applications on my Windows computer. I always have to run gnome-appearance-properties to make Ubuntu's theme show up. Can the server automatically run the command every time someone sshs into the server? | 02:36 |
| rfmonk | god i hope it never gets that many | 02:36 |
| cesar_CR | wow, thanks to all guys !! ubottu dotblank xangua | 02:36 |
| Shapeshiftr | ok, all that's in the top section of my /etc/hosts is- | 02:37 |
| Shapeshiftr | 127.0.01 localhost | 02:37 |

| Shapeshiftr | 127.0.1.1 server1 | 02:37 |
| Shapeshiftr | @localhost *127.0.0.1 | 02:38 |
| niccholaspage | Can anybody answer my question? | 02:38 |
| downix | and back to 1Ghz | 02:38 |
| Shapeshiftr | 1) do I replace 127.0.1.1 with my domain's IP, and 2) what happened to the format of [ip] [server].[domain] [alias] ? | 02:39 |
| unop | niccholaspage, how do you launch your ubuntu applications? | 02:39 |
| niccholaspage | By using putty and sshing into my Ubuntu desktop. | 02:40 |
| niccholaspage | X over ssh | 02:40 |
| greezmunkey | Shapeshiftr: no, leave those. What are you trying to achieve? | 02:40 |
| Guest94350 | i have a question | 02:40 |
| unop | niccholaspage, so you do start a shell then? | 02:40 |
| niccholaspage | Yes | 02:40 |
| niccholaspage | And I just type in a command etc Firefox | 02:40 |
| unop | niccholaspage, place the startup command gnome-appearance-properties in your ~/.bashrc | 02:41 |
| niccholaspage | Ok | 02:41 |
| gpm | xangua: i'd rather use nspluginwrapper then a version with a known security issue. i've got it working, just can't get nspluginwrapper to play nice with pulseaudio :( | 02:41 |
| Shapeshiftr | basically, how do I implement my domain's DNS-server-provided IP so that I can use MySql to connect not to my local IP, but the domain's IP? | 02:41 |
| zagabar | The only thing I found about changing backrounds in the terminal randomly was this script: http://debianrules.blogspot.com/2005/11/gnome-terminal-background-randomizer.html The problem is that it seems to be old. The path at the bottom points to some background_image but in my ubuntu it is only an xml-file there. :/ | 02:41 |
| unop | niccholaspage, something like this, to check if the process is already running tho. pgrep gnome-appearance-properties &> /dev/null || gnome-appearance-properties & | 02:41 |
| Shapeshiftr | right now, I have _apache_ set to ServerName localhost, not server1 | 02:42 |
| jcxl | what's the difference between ssh_conf and sshd_conf? | 02:42 |
| Shapeshiftr | does that need to be changed as well? | 02:42 |
| niccholaspage | Ok thank you | 02:42 |
| iicsa222 | I'm using memcache as my default Cache::config. When I drop a new version of my code on my webserver, how do i clear the cache stored in memcache? will Cache::clear() do it? | 02:42 |
| greezmunkey | Shapeshiftr: do you mean a dhcp proveded address, as in a public ip address? | 02:42 |
| unop | jcxl, the first relates to the client, the second relates to the server | 02:42 |
| === ede is now known as ede__ | ||

| mmomjian | Shapeshiftr: was that page not useful? | 02:46 |
| Shapeshiftr | another guy asked me what my question was, I'm just reading it now | 02:47 |
| greezmunkey | Shapeshiftr: ok, so how do you get your public IP address - like how does your ISP delier it to you? Are you on a cable modem, router, ect. ?? | 02:47 |
| mmomjian | Shapeshiftr: ah good | 02:47 |
| greezmunkey | delier should be deliver...sory Shapeshiftr | 02:48 |
| Shapeshiftr | greezmunkey, I haven't bought a static IP or anything | 02:48 |
| ubuntu_ | does anyone run ubuntu studio? i dont think anyone is in the channel and i need help please | 02:48 |
| greezmunkey | Shapeshiftr: ok, do you have a ddns account set up? | 02:48 |
| jangirke | mmomjian: thanks | 02:49 |
| ubuntu_ | the installer couldnt configfure my wireless and now after everything is installed i have no way of getting online | 02:49 |
| quietone | how do I fix a dual boot that will no longer boot to XP? When it tries (any mode) it reboots returning me to grub. two disks, xp is on /dev/sdb1. and when I boot ubuntu it is too slow to use. | 02:49 |
| Shapeshiftr | I'm just wondering how I can set up my system to recognize my registered domain name that came with a DNS-provided IP | 02:49 |
| Shapeshiftr | 1 sec, reading a page | 02:49 |
| jangirke | mmomjian: md5 or sha1? | 02:49 |
| mmomjian | jangirke: that's md5 | 02:49 |
| mmomjian | but usually it's not great to trust md5 hashes over md5 :D | 02:49 |
| mmomjian | this is the official page | 02:49 |
| mmomjian | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes | 02:49 |
| jangirke | ubuntu_: i run studio why? | 02:50 |
| Shapeshiftr | ubuntu is debian-based, correct? | 02:51 |
| mmomjian | yes | 02:51 |
| mmomjian | very much so | 02:51 |

| PlutoISaPlanet | could anyone tell me if ubuntu has a 'device manager' type feature? i'm trying to figure out why my video card isn't being detected/used | 02:52 |
| mmomjian | PlutoISaPlanet: Try going to system > administration > hardware drivers | 02:52 |
| Shapeshiftr | so, yeah, I do want to edit /etc/hosts | 02:53 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | yeah i don't see it in there | 02:53 |
| IdleOne | PlutoISaPlanet: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers see if that offers drivers | 02:53 |
| Shapeshiftr | that's what I though | 02:53 |
| Shapeshiftr | *t | 02:53 |
| mmomjian | PlutoISaPlanet: what GPU and what version of ubuntu | 02:53 |
| Shapeshiftr | right now, my hosts file says- | 02:53 |

| Khisanth | Shapeshiftr: that wouldn't really help if you want other people to be able to access your site | 02:54 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | it's an AMD X2 I believe (any way to check within ubuntu?) and I'm on Lucid | 02:54 |
| mmomjian | PlutoISaPlanet: What is an AMD X2 graphics card? | 02:54 |
| Shapeshiftr | rawr, then what is man hostname telling me? | 02:54 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | sorry | 02:54 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | thought you asked for CPU | 02:54 |
| mmomjian | GPU | 02:54 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | the GPU is an ATI X1650 | 02:54 |
| mmomjian | (graphics processing unit) | 02:54 |
| mmomjian | ok | 02:54 |
| jangirke | ubuntu_ use the start menu UPPER LEFT CORNER and choose system then choose the 2nd entry and open the 2nd network entry | 02:54 |

| Jaikkuli | PlutoISaPlanet: run! run as far away as you can! | 02:54 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | lol | 02:55 |
| bastidrazor | Shapeshiftr: you need to be telling your godaddy account what ip to be redirected to. | 02:55 |

| JackTO | I royally messed something up... I reinstalled Apache fresh on my ubuntu, but now when I go to a php page from a browser, it askes me if i want to download the file??? what did i do, and how can i fix it? | 03:05 |
| ubuntu_ | jangirke, thanks | 03:05 |
| Shapeshiftr | I think it's running under 127.0.0.1 | 03:05 |
| mmomjian | JackTO: ahh... are you sure you reinstalled it fully? | 03:06 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | mmomjian: nothing seems to happen when i hit tab | 03:06 |
| mmomjian | does it give a space? | 03:06 |
| ubuntu_ | be back in a few hopefully from the studio not the live disc... | 03:06 |
| JackTO | mmomjian: I dunno, how can i check, still a newbie at this | 03:06 |
| Shapeshiftr | I got the Could not reliably determine the server’s fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName” error, so I guess that means it detected my IP as 127.0.0.1 ? | 03:06 |
| mmomjian | JackTO: try running the command sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2 | 03:06 |
| mmomjian | Shapeshiftr: do you have the data in /etc/hostname? | 03:07 |
| mmomjian | PlutoISaPlanet: nothing was under Hardware Drivers? | 03:07 |
| Shapeshiftr | I made the file httpd.conf and added ServerName localhost | 03:07 |
| Shapeshiftr | mmomjian, what do you mean? | 03:07 |
| JackTO | mmomjian: done, now what | 03:07 |
| mmomjian | Shapeshiftr: sorry I meant that file | 03:08 |
| mmomjian | JackTO: sudo apt-get install apache2 | 03:08 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | mmomjian: just the onboard video drivers (NVIDIA) | 03:08 |
| mmomjian | PlutoISaPlanet: type sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx | 03:08 |
| Shapeshiftr | mm, well, my hostname file doesn't have my FQDN, just my machine's name | 03:08 |
| Shapeshiftr | e.g. server1 | 03:08 |
| CAPcap | I've set the keyboard to be the same as my laptop (Dell Inspiron) It still does the T thing | 03:08 |
| Khisanth | Shapeshiftr: what is the address you are trying to set up? | 03:09 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | mmomjian: i should mention i currently have the video running through the onboard. I'm not receiving video even in post from the video card... not sure if that matters | 03:09 |
| mmomjian | Shapeshiftr: you should have the first line looking like "ServerName <WEBSITE URL> | 03:09 |
| mmomjian | ServerName <IP ADDRESS>" | 03:09 |
| mmomjian | in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf | 03:09 |
| MournGrym | I have a triple boot system 2 ubuntu and 1 windows 7 if I use gparted to delete one of the ubuntu partitions and merge them will it mess up the boot sequence and or grub loader? | 03:09 |
| JackTO | mmomjian: done, reinstalled but get the same issue... anyway to get it to work with php again? | 03:09 |
| Shapeshiftr | URL or IP address? | 03:09 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | mmomjian: done w/ xorg-driver-fglrx | 03:09 |
| mmomjian | MournGrym: umm, depends on which one you install | 03:09 |
| mmomjian | PlutoISaPlanet: try loggint out and back in | 03:09 |
| Shapeshiftr | right now I think it's an alias | 03:09 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | mmomjian: brb | 03:09 |
| mmomjian | Shapeshiftr: first line should have the url, second line has ip | 03:09 |
| Shapeshiftr | though I'm a bit confused -- my hosts file doesn't list a FQDN, just an alias | 03:09 |
| mmomjian | Shapeshiftr: the file should have 2 lines | 03:10 |
| Shapeshiftr | i mean /etc/hosts | 03:10 |
| Cyber_Akuma-Lapt | Is there an easier way of making Windows first in my Grub menu besides renaming 30_os-prober to 09_os-prober? Every time grub is updated this causes issues. | 03:10 |
| Shapeshiftr | so, e.g. -- 127.0.0.1 localhost | 03:10 |
| mmomjian | I think that should say <IP> localhost | 03:10 |
| Shapeshiftr | not 127.0.0.1 localhost.localname localhost | 03:10 |
| MournGrym | II plan on leaving ubuntu 10.05 and windows 7 installed | 03:10 |
| Shapeshiftr | really? | 03:11 |
| mmomjian | yeah | 03:11 |
| mmomjian | not the local ip | 03:11 |
| kanzie | how can I zip a folder that has many folders and gz-files in it? Do I have to tar if first? | 03:11 |
| mmomjian | MournGrym: 10.04... can you post a screenshot of gparted? do you know what that is? | 03:11 |
| mmomjian | Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: do you know about grub-set-default | 03:11 |
| Shapeshiftr | all the Karma Koala and below tutorials say it should appear the second way, 127.0.0.1 localhost.localname localhost | 03:11 |
| Shapeshiftr | is that a change in 10.04 | 03:11 |
| Shapeshiftr | ? | 03:12 |
| MournGrym | yes Gparted is a partition editor I'll use an ubuntu 10.04 CD so I don't have any mounted file systems | 03:12 |
| mmomjian | Shapeshiftr: I could be wrong but I think the fixed ip should be in there | 03:12 |
| mmomjian | i'm probably wrong | 03:12 |
| Cyber_Akuma-Lapt | mmomjian: no, I don't know about that command | 03:12 |
| Khisanth | you should always have an entry for localhost | 03:12 |
| fr1sco | kanzie: tar -czvf foo.tar.gz directory/ | 03:12 |
| Shapeshiftr | I haven't bought a static IP | 03:12 |
| Khisanth | however, /etc/hosts is for YOU to access other computers | 03:13 |
| Shapeshiftr | Khisanth, but, for example, the other line is just -- | 03:13 |
| Shapeshiftr | 127.0.1.1 server1 | 03:13 |
| mmomjian | Does anyone know what menu.lst became? | 03:13 |
| Khisanth | Shapeshiftr: that is fine | 03:13 |
| Shapeshiftr | not [ip] server1.example.com server1 | 03:13 |
| Tim_Smart | Can someone help setup a domain with a vps install from prgmr.com ? | 03:13 |
| MournGrym | mmomjian: menu.lst has become /etc/default/grub in 10.04 | 03:13 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | mmomjian: something happened. Resolution's lower | 03:14 |
| mmomjian | PlutoISaPlanet: can you change it in the monitors preferences? | 03:14 |
| vu1kan | can anybody tell me what 'bonobo-activation-server' does? | 03:14 |
| Shapeshiftr | Khisanth, thanks. though it's confusing, all the tutorials i've seen for setting up a server show the second format | 03:14 |
| Cyber_Akuma-Lapt | mmomjian: what do you mean what menu.lst became? What grub2 replaced it with? | 03:14 |
| Khisanth | Shapeshiftr: do you know what /etc/hosts is for? :) | 03:14 |
| mmomjian | Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: type sudo nano /etc/default/grub and change GRUB_DEFAULT=0 to GRUB_DEFAULT=saved | 03:14 |
| blut | hello | 03:15 |
| Shapeshiftr | erm...not really >_> | 03:15 |
| blut | how can i set my fan speed to a fixed value? | 03:15 |
| gpm | anyone got tips on how to make nspluginwrapper play nice with pulseaudio? flash works but no sound :( | 03:15 |
| blut | how can i set my fan speed to max? | 03:15 |
| Shapeshiftr | i assume it's where the computer sets IPs to domains | 03:15 |
| Shapeshiftr | *assigns | 03:15 |
| vu1kan | shapshiftr - basicly it's a local dns file | 03:15 |
| bastidrazor | Shapeshiftr: /etc/hosts has nothing to do with a godaddy.com domain | 03:16 |
| Tim_Smart | anyone? (14:13:55) Tim_Smart: Can someone help setup a domain with a vps install from prgmr.com ? | 03:16 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | mmomjian: i think it might be related to a change i made to the onboard video's driver before I joined teh chat here. Hadn't relogged or anything. Sorry for convoluting things. Still don't see an ATI driver under Hardware Drivers | 03:16 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | mmomjian: brb | 03:16 |
| mmomjian | PlutoISaPlanet: What dwas the change? in simple terms | 03:16 |
| Shapeshiftr | it sets IPs to domains instead of having to search for the IP associated with a domain, correct? | 03:16 |
| blut | how can i set my fanspeed to max? | 03:16 |
| vu1kan | !patience | Tim_Smart | 03:16 |
| ubottu | Tim_Smart: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 03:16 |
| mmomjian | blut: try fancontrol or pwmconfig | 03:16 |
| fr1sco | or blow harder | 03:17 |
| mmomjian | LOL | 03:17 |
| Cyber_Akuma-Lapt | mmomjian: There is no way to set windows to appear first and still make it not have issues with updating grub's files? | 03:17 |
| Shapeshiftr | vu1kan, it's called bumping? | 03:17 |
| mmomjian | This setting will make it so it always boots to what you booted to the last time | 03:17 |
| greezmunkey | Shapeshiftr: more correctly, it provides the ability to resolve server1 to {ip address} with out the use of DNS | 03:17 |
| edju | trying to find guidance-powermanager - or something like that. seems not to be in the repos, or i don't have the right name. any advice appreciated. | 03:17 |
| mmomjian | Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: so once you boot to windows once it will always boot to that entry | 03:17 |
| Cyber_Akuma-Lapt | mmomjian: Yeah I know, I am going to use that if I can't just make windows the first menu item instead | 03:17 |
| vu1kan | exactly greez...was just reading an article on that today | 03:18 |
| Shapeshiftr | I've used it to speed up DNS connection speeds for some Static IP sites | 03:18 |
| blut | mmomjian: fancontrol cant read the /etc/fancontrol | 03:18 |
| Cyber_Akuma-Lapt | mmomjian: I just hope updating to 10.04 dosen't reinstall grub with defualt settings, it won'tload in bios mode | 03:18 |
| blut | mmomjian: because it doesnt exist | 03:18 |
| Shapeshiftr | do you need a SIP to use it for your own site? | 03:18 |
| greezmunkey | Shapeshiftr: the only speed up would be avoiding the public DNS lookup. | 03:18 |
| Shapeshiftr | ok, I think I understand | 03:19 |
| MournGrym | thanks for the help mmomjian I'm going to try and remove one if the partitions. I'll see what happens if nothing else I'll simply have to reinstall or buy a new hard drive LOL | 03:19 |
| mmomjian | Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: go to the directory /etc/grub.d | 03:19 |
| Khisanth | Shapeshiftr: no but that would be ideal | 03:19 |
| Shapeshiftr | so all i need to do is, in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf , have two lines -- | 03:19 |
| Shapeshiftr | ServerName [domain url] | 03:19 |
| Shapeshiftr | and ServerIP [ip] | 03:20 |
| Shapeshiftr | ? | 03:20 |
| mmomjian | I think if you use the command mv 30_os-prober 01_os-prober it will change the ordcer | 03:20 |
| greezmunkey | Shapeshiftr: no you can use what is called dynamic dns, or ddns to do that. Every once in a while your server updates the ddns service of it's current public ip address, allowing the domain name to operate if the ip address at the server changes due to a dhcp reassignment. | 03:20 |
| Cyber_Akuma-Lapt | Yeah, renaming hte file changes the boot order, but that causes it to recreate the 30_os-prober file when the grub package is updated | 03:20 |
| mmomjian | wow this is cool: http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/ | 03:21 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | mmomjian: back | 03:21 |
| mmomjian | Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: oh sorry... well the only other option is to use "saved" | 03:21 |
| Cyber_Akuma-Lapt | mmomjian: I see, ok then, thanks | 03:21 |
| Shapeshiftr | so, I would type in ServerName [URL], ServerName 8.8.8.4 | 03:21 |
| Shapeshiftr | ? | 03:21 |
| mmomjian | PlutoISaPlanet: so what'd you do earlier? | 03:21 |
| === cypher is now known as Guest88122 | ||
| PlutoISaPlanet | mmomjian: switched the onboard driver to the (recommended) one under Hardware Manager, but had never relogged | 03:22 |
| Shapeshiftr | that's insane, mmomjian, sounds awesome | 03:22 |
| === joshua is now known as Guest20507 | ||
| mmomjian | PlutoISaPlanet: that doesn't matter, since you're using the new one | 03:23 |
| === Guest20507 is now known as joshua1983 | ||
| Shapeshiftr | greezmunkey, so, where would I put 8.8.8.4 , Google's public DNS IP? | 03:23 |
| k-rad | resolve server1 to ip address without dns ? | 03:23 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | mmomjian: am I? lol | 03:23 |
| bastidrazor | Shapeshiftr: /etc/resolv.conf | 03:24 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | mmomjian: still don't see any mention of ATI anything in the Hardware Drivers | 03:24 |
| Cyber_Akuma-Lapt | "error: unknown filesystem" sigh, I was afraid of this... | 03:24 |
| Shapeshiftr | oh, ok, I know what to do from here | 03:24 |
| mmomjian | PlutoISaPlanet: no, I mean if you _were_ using the onboard and now you're using the ati card | 03:24 |
| Shapeshiftr | thanks, everyone, you've all been immense help | 03:24 |
| bastidrazor | Shapeshiftr: best of luck | 03:24 |
| mmomjian | PlutoISaPlanet: what exactly was the issue? :P | 03:24 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | mmomjian: still using the onboard | 03:24 |
| Flynsarmy | In the latest ubuntu - what's the name of the widget for the 'me menu' in the panel? I removed it and not sure which one to add back in | 03:25 |
| BiGViC | anyway to resolve lucid permissions bugs? I connect my usb and it saids "unable to mount pendrive" Not Athorized :( and unless I do sudo users-admin I can't change anything by going to system > users and groups and I can't shutdown! :( only by terminal | 03:25 |
| mmomjian | PlutoISaPlanet: and have you tried booting up with the discrete card connected? | 03:25 |
| Cyber_Akuma-Lapt | Can anybody help me install grub in thaat alternate mode (I think its called apci) insteadof BIOS mode? Grub's files are installed on a partition that is past the 128gb sector and my motherboard dosen't support lba48 | 03:25 |
| BiGViC | been using ubutn for a week now but is hard to learn a new OS when there's bugs going on :( | 03:25 |
| Shapeshiftr | oh, last thing -- do I need to set the nameservers in my GoDaddy account to 8.8.8.4 and 8.8.4.4 also? | 03:25 |
| deww | BiGViC: did you create a new user or was this user created as part of the installation? | 03:26 |
| gOLDfeesh | !boot | 03:26 |
| ubottu | Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 03:26 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | mmomjian: by discrete I'm going to assume you mean the PCIe card... and no, not since those changes you had me make. should I try now? | 03:26 |
| BiGViC | part of the installation deww | 03:26 |
| john__ | hey how do you extend desktop in ubuntu | 03:26 |

| deww | interesting... | 03:26 |
| mmomjian | PlutoISaPlanet: have you enabled the PCI-E card in the BIOS? | 03:26 |
| Shapeshiftr | greezmunkey, do I need to set the nameservers in my GoDaddy account to 8.8.8.4 and 8.8.4.4 also? | 03:26 |
| deww | BiGViC: not sure if this would help, bring up terminal and type "groups" and see if you see admin as one of them | 03:26 |
| BiGViC | I'm reading the forums and multiple google searches people are having same issues as me :( no solid solution | 03:26 |
| bastidrazor | Shapeshiftr: why would you need to do that? you're resolving dns queries via go daddy? | 03:27 |
| deww | BiGViC: i've not seen it myself, but it doesn't mean it doesnt exist. i am on a freshly installed 10.04 system | 03:27 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | mmomjian: yeah, my BIOS has 2 options and from what I've read I should leave it on Auto... but I've tried both options before coming here | 03:27 |
| BiGViC | yes I do | 03:27 |
| pookymadness | how can i make gnome snap like windows does? | 03:27 |
| mmomjian | PlutoISaPlanet: what is the other option? | 03:27 |
| BiGViC | deww: yes I do | 03:27 |
| gern | is there a way to see who has connected to your computer with Vinagre? | 03:27 |
| Andorin | I'm playing around with ssh for the first real time and getting the hang of it. If I ssh into a local computer that's playing music on Rhythmbox, is there any way to control Rhythmbox's playback? (pause, next, etc) | 03:27 |
| Cyber_Akuma-Lapt | Can anyone help me? My system dosen't boot after updating to 10.04, its a grub issue | 03:28 |
| deww | BiGViC: that is certainly interesting. i am not sure where to guide you | 03:28 |
| Shapeshiftr | GRUB2 | 03:28 |
| Shapeshiftr | bastidrazor, right now they're using some | 03:28 |
| Shapeshiftr | **some other nameserver at GoDaddy | 03:28 |
| greezmunkey | Shapeshiftr: I though you were paying attention to bastidrazor - sorry. You should have upline dns servers in your resolv.conf file, but they should be your ISP's, with maybe 8.8.8.8 as a third - tertiary server. (faster lookups) | 03:28 |
| deww | BiGViC: what about plugdev (for the usb devices) ? | 03:29 |
| john__ | how do you extend desktop in ubuntu | 03:29 |
| BiGViC | is cool deww I'm pretty sure is a bug a couple of people can't shut down or mount thier flash drives... | 03:29 |
| mmomjian | PlutoISaPlanet: I think you should plug into the PCI card and boot up. If that doesn't work leave it plugged in and boot to safe mode | 03:29 |
| mmomjian | I presume you can see the BIOS post? | 03:29 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | mmomjian: don't remember off the top of my head | 03:29 |
| Shapeshiftr | so, to prevent GoDaddy assigning my a new IP that's different from Google's assignment, do I need to change GoDaddy's nameservers? or will that not happen? | 03:29 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | mmomjian: I'll try that. | 03:30 |
| mmomjian | PlutoISaPlanet: but when you boot connected to PCI you see the bios | 03:30 |
| mmomjian | until ubuntu starts it works | 03:30 |
| Shapeshiftr | I installed 10.04 server from a flash drive... | 03:30 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | mmomjian: negative. So far I've gotten no video in POST with teh PCIe attached | 03:30 |
| BiGViC | yes I even check that I was part of the group my going to sudo users-admin> user settings>manage groups>plugdev and made sure I was checked | 03:30 |
| Andorin | Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: Did you try reinstalling grub? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub | 03:30 |
| deww | so odd then | 03:30 |
| greezmunkey | Shapeshiftr: godaddy has nothing (at least not much to do with your servers ability to resolve URLs | 03:30 |
| mmomjian | PlutoISaPlanet: oh, so it's obviously the BIOS... try the other setting | 03:30 |
| mmomjian | :/ | 03:30 |
| jarv1s | Is there any repository or something to get KDE 3? (I don't like the new Gnome and KDE 4.) | 03:30 |
| Cyber_Akuma-Lapt | Andorin: It was just reinstalled basically with the updagrde | 03:31 |
| Shapeshiftr | ok, great, no need to worry then | 03:31 |
| john__ | nobody here knows how to extend desktop | 03:31 |
| Shapeshiftr | awesome, again, thanks for everything | 03:31 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | mmomjian: be back soon | 03:31 |
| Cyber_Akuma-Lapt | I know what is wrong and what I need to do to fix it, problem is, I don't reemmber how | 03:31 |
| mmomjian | sure | 03:31 |
| mmomjian | be here | 03:31 |
| Shapeshiftr | urm, one last question >_> | 03:31 |
| Cyber_Akuma-Lapt | Grub's files are past the 128gb sector on my HDD, and my motherboard dosen't support lb48, I need to install it on the MBR not in bios mode but whatever that other mode was called | 03:31 |
| Shapeshiftr | if I use DDNS in resolv.conf, what do I put in httpd.conf ? | 03:31 |
| Cyber_Akuma-Lapt | acpi or something like that | 03:32 |
| BiGViC | I don't think that's the issue though it just can't mount or something I'm new to linux so I'm real confuse on whats going on by reading what I have I think is a bug dealing with pemersions as sometimes when I boot I can shutdown and sometimes I can't something with audio but I fixed that but going to users settings and advance settings and checking use audio devices | 03:32 |
| jarv1s | never mind, answer found | 03:33 |
| Shapeshiftr | greezmunkey ? | 03:33 |
| Andorin | I'm playing around with ssh for the first real time and getting the hang of it. If I ssh into a local computer that's playing music on Rhythmbox, is there any way to control Rhythmbox's playback? (pause, next, etc) | 03:33 |
| Smithy | quick (maybe) question, i'm playing with router configs to learn more about them BUT can stick a server box on one end of one of the routers which will have a usb hsdpa net connection. I'm wanting users to have to login to use the net (if allowed) in case I open up the wrong networks on a router :), things i should be searching for are captive portal & freeradius or am I barking up the wrong tree? | 03:34 |
| greezmunkey | Shapeshiftr: a word of advice - google on linux network administrators guide, and read over it. It will give you a soup to nuts overview of how all the peices fit together! | 03:34 |
| mmomjian | Andorin: I bet you can with vlc | 03:34 |
| john__ | anybody???????? | 03:34 |
| mmomjian | john__: what's the issue | 03:35 |
| Andorin | john__: What do you mean by "extend desktop"? | 03:35 |
| john__ | lol | 03:35 |
| john__ | what???? | 03:35 |
| gOLDfeesh | Is there any way of enabling Windows Bootload instead of grub or lilo | 03:35 |
| john__ | you dont know what extend desktop | 03:35 |
| john__ | do i have to be precise | 03:35 |
| Cyber_Akuma-Lapt | anyone? | 03:35 |
| downix | goldfeesh: Windows bootload is too limited to do the job, sadly | 03:35 |
| mmomjian | gOLDfeesh: yeah, too limited | 03:35 |

| john__ | any info mmomjian | 03:39 |
| mmomjian | Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: I see. Could you use fixmbr then reinstall it with linux? | 03:39 |
| Andorin | ejv: That'd also involve ignoring the bot | 03:39 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | mmomjian: no luck. how would I install a BIOS update if it's an EXE file? | 03:39 |
| mmomjian | PlutoISaPlanet: crap. No windows installed? | 03:40 |
| ejv | Andorin: what? | 03:40 |
| mmomjian | PlutoISaPlanet: it sounds like a bios issue, not ubuntu... | 03:40 |
| jimisrvrox | No Windows! that sounds great! haha j/k | 03:40 |
| Andorin | ejv: Ignoring the troll would mean /ignoring ubottu as well because he was spamming bot commands | 03:40 |
| mmomjian | john__: try going to a terminal and type sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 03:40 |
| Cyber_Akuma-Lapt | mmomjian: I can't, because while booted into ubuntu with a livecd it won't see anything wrong, since it can read the full hdd that way, there is actually nothing wrong with my mbr or grub's files, its just using a mode that does nto allow it to read where the files are, and I install to install the mbr version with another mode | 03:40 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | mmomjian: probably. I think I slapped this update on this MB when I was running it as my main machine, though | 03:40 |
| ejv | Andorin: ohh yea a temporary inconvenience i suppose :) | 03:40 |
| jangirke | Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: try to google how to install grub | 03:41 |
| john__ | what is compiz | 03:41 |
| ejv | google it | 03:41 |
| Cyber_Akuma-Lapt | jalrnc: thats hwat ive been going all this time, I cant find anything about it | 03:41 |

| ubottu | ejv: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 03:41 |
| bastidrazor | !compiz | john__ | 03:41 |
| ubottu | john__: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz | 03:41 |
| jangirke | Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: maybe you can try a newinstall and just jump to the grub installation and then quit the installation | 03:41 |
| jimisrvrox | Anybody good with wireless in here? I was having some issues but got them fixed but ive got a few questions as to what the culprit could have been | 03:42 |
| ejv | lol seriously, it takes no fu to google something like that, save your !google command for something more complex lol | 03:42 |
| bastidrazor | !lol | ejv | 03:42 |
| ubottu | ejv: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 03:42 |
| mmomjian | Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: is there a reason you installed the mbr so late in the drive? | 03:42 |
| john__ | you mean Advanced Desktop Effects Settings | 03:42 |
| mmomjian | bastidrazor: isn't that a little extreme? | 03:42 |
| IdleOne | ejv: seriously don't tell people to google it. Save your googles for yourself. | 03:42 |

| Cyber_Akuma-Lapt | mmomjian: I was not aware of this issue and installed windows first, I can't really move the windows partition to put a boot partition first anymore | 03:42 |
| ejv | i have the bot ignored cuz of the spammer | 03:43 |
| john__ | in the Ubuntu Software Center | 03:43 |
| bastidrazor | mmomjian: no | 03:43 |
| jangirke | PlutoISaPlanet: try to get a bootdisk from the internet | 03:43 |
| IdleOne | ejv: Please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 03:43 |
| h00k | ejv: That's probably not a good idea | 03:43 |
| mmomjian | bastidrazor: eh? | 03:43 |
| mmomjian | john__: now press alt+f2 and type ccsm | 03:44 |
| ejv | oh i've read 'em ;) | 03:44 |
| john__ | you want me to get out of ubuntu | 03:44 |
| mmomjian | Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: Can you just reinstall?> | 03:44 |
| mmomjian | john__: no... | 03:44 |
| mmomjian | alt+f2 brings up the run dialog | 03:44 |
| john__ | i already did the sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 03:44 |
| mmomjian | Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: (ubuntu) | 03:44 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | jangirke: a bootdisk to install the update you mean? | 03:44 |
| mmomjian | john__: right, now press alt+f2 and type ccsm and press run | 03:44 |
| mmomjian | PlutoISaPlanet: yes | 03:44 |
| abhijain1 | hello | 03:45 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | mmomjian: thanks. I'll look | 03:45 |
| john__ | see you later a..hole | 03:45 |
| PlasmaSheep | On occasion, ubuntu decides that life is too good and decides to prevent my logitech MX5500 bluetooth keyboard from working with the dongle (yet the mouse works). Why is this, how can I fix this occasional behavior? | 03:45 |

| cordobestia | alguien habla spanish? | 03:46 |

| ubottu | cordobestia: 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. | 03:46 |

| mmomjian | and leave a little space at the begninning for the / partition, then do /home after windows | 03:46 |
| john__ | so every time i want to launch compiz i have to go to terminal | 03:46 |
| abhijain1 | i m facing problem for switching ubuntu . when i switching ubuntu loader then system giving long beep sound with error 65 time without check . checking forced. | 03:46 |
| at602server | sdf | 03:46 |
| at602server | dfs | 03:46 |
| mmomjian | john__: no, is compiz not running? | 03:46 |
| mmomjian | john__: ccsm will allow you to set the number of desktops | 03:47 |
| pookymadness | at602server: stop that | 03:47 |
| Cyber_Akuma-Lapt | mmomjian: I tried that many time sbefore, it corrupts my windows partition, I am not risking it again, as I said, its due to GRUB loading in bios mode thats a problem, I just don't remember how to tell it not to use bios mode | 03:47 |
| at602server | = =# | 03:47 |
| at602server | m sorry | 03:47 |
| mmomjian | Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: I'd recommend a forum post | 03:47 |
| mmomjian | more specialized users | 03:47 |
| john__ | where and how exactly do i extend windows | 03:47 |
| mmomjian | john__: when you type ccsm a window should come upo | 03:47 |
| john__ | im looking..... | 03:48 |
| mmomjian | john__: did a window come? | 03:48 |
| john__ | yeah | 03:48 |
| mmomjian | it should have lots of little boxs | 03:48 |
| mmomjian | now click on "general options" | 03:48 |
| mmomjian | under tab "desktop size" change "horizontal size" to 4 | 03:48 |
| abhijain1 | abhijain1: what the exactly problem | 03:48 |
| john__ | all i want to do is extend desktop to tv | 03:49 |
| mmomjian | john__: OH... I thought you want two desktops. Did you go to system > preferences > monitors | 03:49 |
| john__ | just says my monitor | 03:50 |
| john__ | no option for extend | 03:50 |
| john__ | i guess i have to connect to tv | 03:50 |
| mmomjian | oh well yeah | 03:50 |
| abhijain1 | i am unable to access ubuntu in my system . the blink screen appear with error . and with long beep sound with grub selection | 03:50 |
| dugger5688 | Anyone know why 64-bit "is not recommended for daily desktop usage"... it seems perfectly fine to me. | 03:51 |
| john__ | so how exactly does it work | 03:51 |
| mmomjian | abhijain1: did it used to work? what changed? | 03:51 |
| john__ | i have hook up computer to tv | 03:51 |
| john__ | if | 03:51 |
| mmomjian | john__: once you're connected try the monitor dialog | 03:51 |
| PlasmaSheep | On occasion, ubuntu decides that life is too good and decides to prevent my logitech MX5500 bluetooth keyboard from working with the dongle (yet the mouse works). Why is this, how can I fix this occasional behavior? | 03:52 |
| mmomjian | what do you mean the mouse works? | 03:52 |
| abhijain1 | mmomjian: the error shown with blink screen and beep sound. 65 time without checking and checking forced | 03:52 |
| dugger5688 | john__: are u using nvidia or ati, or any other video card that provides its own manager? | 03:52 |
| john__ | ati | 03:52 |
| Cyber_Akuma-Lapt | mmomjian: I think I had to us esometing about plugins during grub-install | 03:52 |
| john__ | no i have no manager | 03:52 |
| mmomjian | hmm | 03:52 |
| abhijain1 | mmomjian: same error in continuous | 03:53 |
| dugger5688 | You've tried the catalyst control center I assume? | 03:53 |
| john__ | im using the x.org | 03:53 |
| john__ | or something like that | 03:53 |
| mmomjian | john__: try installing the package xserver-xorg-fglrx? | 03:53 |
| john__ | x.org.driver | 03:53 |
| mmomjian | Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: don't know much about grub sorry | 03:53 |
| john__ | i think its installed | 03:53 |
| john__ | im able to play games | 03:53 |
| dugger5688 | I haven't used atis for awhile, but you generally need the closed source for (good) dual head X. | 03:53 |
| john__ | i have the proprietary driver | 03:54 |
| john__ | but i havent been able to run | 03:54 |
| PlasmaSheep | <mmomjian> what do you mean the mouse works? | 03:54 |
| mmomjian | john__: have you checked administration > hardware drivers? | 03:54 |
| PlasmaSheep | I can move it and click it | 03:54 |
| abhijain1 | mmomjian: what happen | 03:54 |
| PlasmaSheep | it functions like a mouse should | 03:54 |
| mmomjian | PlasmaSheep: what's broken then? | 03:54 |
| PlasmaSheep | mmomjian, the keyboard | 03:54 |
| mmomjian | abhijain1: did it used to work? | 03:54 |
| mmomjian | PlasmaSheep: oh sorry | 03:54 |
| john__ | one of you guys a few days ago gave me a command to execute run files | 03:55 |
| PlasmaSheep | mmomjian, it ususally works | 03:55 |
| mmomjian | do they both use the same dongle? | 03:55 |
| PlasmaSheep | mmomjian, yes | 03:55 |
| john__ | it got passed the uncompressing | 03:55 |
| mmomjian | huh | 03:55 |
| mmomjian | does pressing ctrl+alt+f1 do anything? | 03:55 |
| john__ | then it temporarily removed it | 03:55 |
| PlasmaSheep | mmomjian, back with 9.10 ubuntu did not get involved with bluetooth management, and it worked | 03:55 |
| mmomjian | I recommend a forum post | 03:55 |
| ennui | can anyone suggest a distro for me? I'd be running it on a PPC Powerbook G4 | 03:55 |
| mmomjian | bluetooth is specialized | 03:55 |
| mmomjian | ennui: err, ubuntu? | 03:56 |
| PlasmaSheep | mmomjian, the keyboard shows "no connection" | 03:56 |
| PlasmaSheep | will do then | 03:56 |
| jma89 | I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 installed but it keeps crashing after a period of inactivity with panic+0x48/0x20 (It did crash once while I was in nano.) I have the crash log still up next to me. (Yes, the CD passed verification and the install went flawlessly. This is the 2nd install.) | 03:56 |
| h00k | ennui: you can check with ##linux | 03:56 |
| john__ | i used the chmod +x ./filename | 03:56 |

| john__ | its ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run | 03:57 |
| john__ | maybe you could help me with it | 03:57 |
| dugger5688 | ennui: I *think* yellow dog is good on PPC | 03:57 |
| greezmunkey | jma89: did you do anything with the hardware before loading? | 03:57 |
| === jeff_ is now known as Guest5711 | ||
| dugger5688 | erpo: go into ur bios and clock the CPU down ;-). Why do you want to run it slower? | 03:57 |
| jma89 | No. It ran 7.04 Desktop just fine before, but I reloaded it with 10.04 server and it started crashing when I let it be for a while. | 03:57 |
| erpo | dugger5688, It's a game. My reflexes aren't good enough. | 03:58 |
| waldy | Guys, firstly, hello......I am having issues with "The GNOME Panel" not rendering correctly in Ubuntu 10.4 - any news on that front? | 03:58 |
| erpo | dugger5688, And it's a laptop. | 03:58 |
| john__ | i forgot what it was exactly ~cd Download chmod +x ./ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run;ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run | 03:58 |
| dugger5688 | erpo: I have no idea then, I don't really think there's an easy way to slow down a game. | 03:58 |
| jma89 | greezmunkey: Sorry I'm new to this IRC thing: No. It ran 7.04 Desktop just fine before, but I reloaded it with 10.04 server and it started crashing when I let it be for a while. | 03:59 |
| erpo | dugger5688, I think faketime might be able to do it, but libfaketime is not in the repos. | 03:59 |
| jma89 | greezmunkey: I think it may be an ACPI thing, but I'm not sure. The call trace has been so long it's pushed the error data off screen until this last crash. | 04:00 |
| john__ | mmomjian this is what i get Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version | 04:00 |
| john__ | default:v2:i686:lib::none:2.6.32-22-generic-pae; make sure that the version is being | 04:00 |

| Zelozelos | please help me, im trying to change some colors, im using 10.04 (guessing its gnome), but 4 some reason if i choose a diff theme the only thing that changes is the window borders, see this http://www.pasteall.org/pic/4052 the colors i want 2 changed are marked | 04:02 |
| BiGViC | more research on my problem and it seems MULTIPLE people are having it https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/576235 | 04:02 |
| greezmunkey | jma89: I'm no expert on that, but on my desktop I have completely removed it. I had a few issues that I traced to that myself. Since I have removed it, no wierd problems. | 04:02 |
| === ani__ is now known as maniz | ||
| Cyber_Akuma-Lapt | if you have a working Ubuntu installation but your bootloader is broken, is ther any way to boot into this install through a livecd instead of the livecd version? | 04:03 |
| === gustavo is now known as ghound | ||
| jma89 | greezmunkey: As in removed ACPI? If so then I may try it as well. It runs as a proxy/gateway at a youth camp, so having the hard drives spin down every now and then would save a lot of wear-and-tear. | 04:03 |
| john__ | mmomjian you there | 04:03 |
| Flannel | Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: If you have an alternate CD (not the Desktop CD) you can do it via the "Rescue broken system" option at the boot menu | 04:04 |
| Cyber_Akuma-Lapt | The desktop cd can't do it? | 04:04 |
| Flannel | Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: Although I believe that would also use the Alternate CD kernel, but the rest of it is your install. | 04:04 |
| Flannel | Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: Not directly. You might be able to massage something to get it to work after it's booted | 04:04 |
| greezmunkey | jma89: there are purpose built distros for that sort of thing, including ones that boot from a floppy, and run entirely in memory. | 04:04 |
| jma89 | greezmunkey: Yeah, but it does more than just that. (Full LAMP w/ gateway and someday soon Samba for backing up the other computers. Low budget operation, I know. :-P) | 04:05 |
| pookymadness | how can i make gnome snap like windows does? | 04:06 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | I'm trying to create a FreeDOS USB bootdisk using UNetbootin but I'm not sure which drive is my flash drive. My only option is /dev/sdb1... does that sound right? | 04:06 |
| jma89 | greezmunkey: It ran 7.04 desktop doing this very thing for about 2 years, but I was rebuilding it and wanted to use 10.04 LTS server. | 04:06 |
| greezmunkey | jma89: you have two choices, ACPI or perhaps APM - but that's the extent of my knowledge on it. | 04:06 |
| Zelozelos | please please PLEASE somebody im soo sick of lookin at these drab greays/blacks 8-( if i choose a diff theme the only thing that changes is the window borders, see this http://www.pasteall.org/pic/4052 the colors i want 2 changed are marked | 04:06 |
| FlyingBishop | PlutoISaPlanet: do you have a hd | 04:06 |
| Cyber_Akuma-Lapt | Flannel: I found the command I need to fix my bootloader, I just don't want to install the livdcd version in case its outdated now | 04:06 |
| jma89 | greezmunkey: Ok. I'll give it a whack and see if that'll take care of it. | 04:06 |
| dugger5688 | pookymadness: maybe this? http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2009/11/aero-snap-ubuntu-linux.html | 04:06 |
| jma89 | greezmunkey: Thanks for your assistance. :-) | 04:07 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | FlyingBishop: my dist. is installed on an HD | 04:07 |
| pookymadness | thanks dugger5688 :D | 04:07 |
| FlyingBishop | PlutoISaPlanet: If your hd is sda and you have no other volumes, that should be right | 04:07 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | FlyingBishop: sda = ? | 04:07 |
| dugger5688 | google-fu +1! | 04:07 |
| FlyingBishop | PlutoISaPlanet: What do you see if you do an ls /dev/sd* | 04:08 |
| Flannel | Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: Oh, you'd likely be able to do that from the LiveCD itself, you don't need to boot into the system to fix that usually. | 04:08 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | FlyingBishop: /dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda5 /dev/sdb /dev/sdb1 | 04:08 |
| FlyingBishop | PlutoISaPlanet: yeah, so I'd guess that sda1-5 are your HD, and sdb1 would be the flash drive | 04:09 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | FlyingBishop: good enough for me... here goes ;) | 04:09 |
| Flannel | Cyber_Akuma-Lapt: It's unlikely that GRUB stage1 is outdated, you're using a grub command to install it, right? You could specify your full path (/media/my-harddrive/bin/grub or whatever) and use that binary as well. | 04:09 |
| FlyingBishop | PlutoISaPlanet: If you're running desktop gnome you should be able to figure it out from running mount -l | 04:10 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | FlyingBishop: you nailed it. Thanks much | 04:10 |

| karma_police | help! i have an nvidia card and cannot change my resolution.. prprietary drivers don't work right:( i'm also a noob | 04:13 |
| Zelozelos | SoftwareExplorer, thats the cause of all the issues, i tried a few diff programs b4, incl emeral theme manager, umm,,,gnome color chooser, and also right-click, and appearance, but now none will change those colors | 04:13 |
| SReject[a] | I have a video devices. One is on-board the other is an AGP card. Is there a way to set Ubuntu up to use the motherboard card, while windows uses the AGP? (Dual boot setup, Ubuntu 10.04,winXP Pro[Currently using but can switch if needed]) | 04:13 |

| ian_ | does anyone know where I can find instructions to print over a wireless network from windows to a printer on an ubuntu system? | 04:14 |
| userffd | hello | 04:15 |
| SReject[a] | dugger5688 i can set the bios up so that it is has dual moniter where i can select the primary display adapter. | 04:15 |
| FlyingBishop | ian_: look into setting up a samba print server | 04:15 |
| karma_police | does anyone know anything about nvidia and ubuntu and how to get them working together? | 04:15 |
| SReject[a] | karma_police depends on the card. If it's 2+ years old, nvidia isn't supporting it, meaning ubuntu can't | 04:16 |
| SReject[a] | though u might be able to find an open source driver | 04:16 |
| Zelozelos | SoftwareExplorer, im not sure what i messed up, but im almost positive something is (its sorta in my blood to mess things up rofl) short of a full reinstall i have no idea how to restore to the out-of-the-box configuration | 04:16 |
| dugger5688 | karma_police: system->Administration->Hardware drivers | 04:16 |
| karma_police | i tried that... using nvidia current... computer is about 4-6 years old | 04:17 |
| SoftwareExplorer | Zelozelos: Hm, well the emerald is only supposed to change the window borders. In gnome-color-chooser, what did you change? Usually, you have to check a checkbox to change something from the default. | 04:17 |
| FlyingBishop | ian_: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/samba-printserver.html | 04:17 |
| dugger5688 | karma_police: what is the problem exactly? can't get closed source drivers? | 04:17 |
| SReject[a] | dugger5688 the reason I ask is because, Ubuntu has drivers for the on board device and not the AGP, and windows has drivers for the AGP and not the on-board | 04:17 |
| SReject[a] | not to mention, the on board only has 64mbs of mem | 04:18 |

| karma_police | i am trying to install a driver that works.. the recommended 96 driver only has 2 resolution settings and they are unbearably big | 04:18 |
| Zelozelos | SoftwareExplorer, that does change a lot for me, im still filling my way around which is for what | 04:18 |
| SReject[a] | Let me rephrase. Windows has the drivers for it, but they suck | 04:18 |

| Shapeshiftr | now I can't connect to my server via IP / web server at all | 04:20 |
| SoftwareExplorer | Zelozelos: You might try logging out and logging back in. I used to have problems with the theme not changing while I was logged in and I would work around it by logging out and logging back in. That was back when lucid was in beta though, so it might be fixed now. | 04:20 |
| Shapeshiftr | I could before, but my domain name was parked | 04:21 |
| SReject[a] | dugger5688 Like I tryed the RadeonDriver opensourced but couldn't get it to work | 04:21 |

| SReject[a] | I got some other old cards am going to try(Currently am on a extra bits machine until cash comes around to make a good one) | 04:22 |
| karma_police | you will have to use a live cd to get it back.. its best to install windoze first then ubuntu if you can | 04:23 |
| dugger5688 | I was in the same boat, so I feel your pain. Saved up and built a new one :-) soooo nice. | 04:23 |
| copantl | any body knows how to fix the network-manager and nm-applet issue? | 04:23 |
| Shapeshiftr | merp, anyone? | 04:23 |
| SReject[a] | dugger5688 very! | 04:23 |
| ian_ | FlyingBishop thanks, it worked immediately without any configuration | 04:23 |
| ian_ | just had to install samba | 04:23 |
| Shapeshiftr | I could connect to my server's IP before and get the It Works! page from apache | 04:23 |
| quietone | karma_police, I did do that and all was well until some days ago. Now XP won't boot and ubuntu (lucid) is so slow it is unuable. | 04:23 |
| dugger5688 | SReject[a]: most from Nvidia are very compatible. You might have to go back to an older Ubuntu for VERY old ones. | 04:23 |
| Zelozelos | SoftwareExplorer, do u think if i uninstall the color chooser and others and retry appearance it will change those colors again? | 04:23 |
| SReject[a] | found this one @ the dump for $3USD all i had to do was change the processor out(inwhich I had an extra SockA AMD) and BAM my own computer | 04:24 |
| karma_police | u may need to update-grub | 04:24 |
| SoftwareExplorer | Zelozelos: Probably not. | 04:24 |
| Shapeshiftr | but now, after doing everything said various people here, i'm not working at all. | 04:24 |

| dugger5688 | SReject[a]: I just threw out a socket A, lol. But there was nothing useable left in the box. | 04:25 |
| Zelozelos | SoftwareExplorer, looks like ill just have 2 keep on trying 2 find those areas...or eventually ill get so sick of the drab-ness ill reinstall |( | 04:25 |

| Pen | My router is un-working. The cable from the modem when connected to the router (a NetGear) shows an Orange Light indicating the router is not recognizing the internet. If I conect from the modem to my computer, it works well. I have 4 other people that use the internet also. I remember messing with the router adding a network trying to get the wireless internet to work but it didn't work. The router when on, It still won't recognize internet | 04:48 |
| Pen | but it ONLY recognizes my wire from the router to my computer, and doesn't read the other 3 that are plugged in. Did I Fuck Something Up? | 04:48 |

| Blue1 | pen you can try a 30/30/30 reset YMMV applies | 04:49 |
| Pen | Would that erase all my files on Ubuntu? | 04:49 |
| Blue1 | Pen: no it resets the modem to default condidition - so any port forwards, etc would be lost -- note this works for linksys | 04:50 |
| greezmunkey | Blue YMMV ?? | 04:50 |
| Blue1 | and dlink | 04:50 |
| Blue1 | greezmunkey: your mileage may vary | 04:50 |

| adithya | hi | 04:51 |
| vu1kan | does anybody know what 'bonobo-activation-server' does? | 04:51 |
| Blue1 | Pen: 30/30/30 reset -- while unit is powered on, push in the reset button for 30 seconds. While the reset button is still pushed, remove the power for 30 seconds. With the reset button still pushed for 30 seconds, re-apply the power. That should re-set the router to whatever shipped from the factory. | 04:52 |
| johnmurdoch | how to set up irssi to run thru sock5 tor | 04:52 |
| symptom | Pen, dont worry I have trouble recognizing the Internet from time to time too. that scurvy bastard is always changing things up.

| bastidrazor | Blue1: or you could just hold the reset button till the lights stop blinking... normally 5 seconds or so. | 04:53 |
| Blue1 | Pen: so 90 secs - but at least you should be able to start over - I have never used netgear, so I don't know if it will work - but it does with linksys and dlink | 04:53 |
| johnmurdoch | anyone | 04:53 |
| Blue1 | bastidrazor: 30/30/30 reset required if you flash a modem with different software -- | 04:53 |
| Blue1 | err flash the router | 04:54 |
| Pen | I'll do it now | 04:54 |
| Pen | brb | 04:54 |
| Blue1 | k | 04:54 |
| greezmunkey | Blue1: not really, it amounts to an overkill that the doc writers of dd-wrt figure is as fool proof as possible - in order to get to the next point in their load proceedure. | 04:55 |
| Blue1 | bastidrazor: my router (linksys wrt54gl) doesn't run linksys software, because the stock software doesn't support dhcp reservations. but dd-wrt does, so I had to go through this routine, in order to get the new software to work - again YMMV applies. | 04:55 |

| Blue1 | ahh 3 min warning... | 04:59 |
| n1lqj | sure. I took my hearing curve, and dropped all audio 2k and below by 10db and boosted 3k by 7.5db and everything higher by 20db and ran it in two pass | 05:00 |
| n1lqj | then patched vlc so the setting was a preconfigured option | 05:00 |

| Cyber_Akuma-Lapt | I am trying "sudo grub-install --disk-module=ata /dev/sda" and I get "cannot find a device for /boot/grub" | 05:14 |
| electrofreak | Roasted: aught to be listed there.... and you can just remove it | 05:15 |
| Jolhalla | well, why are people only sudo'ing instead of running as root | 05:15 |
| Salvad1 | Hello. Is there some kind of brand of preference at the time of buying a netbook for installing Ubuntu? | 05:15 |
| Roasted | electrofreak, bingo! thank you | 05:15 |
| Salvad1 | I mean, for compativily reasons. | 05:15 |
| Salvad1 | *Compatibility, not compativily. | 05:16 |
| Jolhalla | I think HP's are good one | 05:16 |
| Salvad1 | Are those fully compatible? | 05:16 |
| n1lqj | patch sent | 05:16 |
| n1lqj | not a diff, simply instructions on the lines to change | 05:16 |
| Jolhalla | I'm using one lolz | 05:17 |
| Avasz | i copied /var/cache/apt/archives from my 10.04 to another fresh installation of 10.04. how can i use then now? | 05:17 |
| wildbat | Cyber_Akuma-Lapt, read the install grub from live CD section | 05:17 |
| n1lqj | one error. its gedit audio_filter.h not gedit audio_filter | 05:17 |

| electrofreak | I'm having trouble booting my server.... says /sbin/init: no such file or directory. However... when looking at it with a rescue disk... the file is there! and readable! | 05:18 |
| n1lqj | is the boot loader looking at wrong partition? | 05:18 |
| n1lqj | The file containing the wallpaper list is ~/.gnome2/backgrounds.xml | 05:20 |
| electrofreak | n1lqj: no | 05:20 |
| starnostar | can someone help me with samba sharing? | 05:20 |
| n1lqj | starnostar sure | 05:20 |
| n1lqj | what version of ubuntu? | 05:20 |
| tgudlek | can I ask for Mint 9 help here? | 05:20 |
| starnostar | I am trying to get a share going between a windows xp machine and this computer (ubuntu) but it only works on wireless | 05:20 |
| IdleOne | !mint | tgudlek | 05:20 |
| ubottu | tgudlek: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) | 05:20 |
| schnerf | ok. I'm rather new to this terminal thing, and I started a wget of a rather large file on an ssh terminal on my new ubuntu server. It's gone for about an hour and a half now. I planned to go to bed so it can download for the next day or so. However, I forgot to use screen before starting it, so I have to leave my other computer on the whole time, too, which is what I wanted to avoid. What might I do so that I can leave that running, and reat | 05:21 |
| n1lqj | okay, lets start with super basics just to make sure everything is kosher, okay? | 05:21 |
| starnostar | wont work on wired, i am on a bandwidth cap and use vnstat to monitor my wifi, i wont do samba through wifi, cant get it to work on eth0 | 05:21 |
| Pen | didn't work .... | 05:21 |
| starnostar | sure | 05:21 |
| n1lqj | open a terminal | 05:21 |
| electrofreak | n1lqj: 10.04 | 05:21 |
| n1lqj | 10.04 is grub2, not much experience | 05:21 |
| tgudlek | !mintsupport | 05:21 |
| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 05:21 |
| electrofreak | n1lqj: a little more info.... I was just booted into the system, but was unable to execute many commands... except was what cached it seems.... | 05:22 |
| Avasz | !apt | 05:22 |
| ubottu | APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 05:22 |
| Cyber_Akuma-Lapt | wildbat: Thanks, although its strnage since I have reinstalled grub multiple times and never had to use those --bind options before, but that worked | 05:22 |
| electrofreak | looking at it with a rescue disk, everything is there and working.... but for some reason I can't boot it.... something is very messed up | 05:22 |
| n1lqj | okay one sec electrofreak on a prob right this sec | 05:22 |
| n1lqj | starnostar $ sudo -s | 05:23 |
| wildbat | Cyber_Akuma-Lapt, you need bind for chroot | 05:23 |
| starnostar | kk | 05:23 |
| n1lqj | apt-get update && apt-get install samba sambafs | 05:23 |
| === geo is now known as geo05 | ||
| starnostar | did all that, got it working perfectly on wifi | 05:23 |
| n1lqj | okay, I have an idea | 05:24 |
| n1lqj | do you have a firewall configurator loaded? | 05:24 |
| michael_ | i dont know if this is the right place to ask this but im not sure what command i ran in the terminal or what application i ran but my computer seems to be running slower what can i do to see what i did wrong so i can fix it | 05:24 |
| n1lqj | wifi is different card | 05:24 |
| starnostar | i have them plugged directly into each other, i have gotten this to work easilly from windows to windows and mac to mac, even ubuntu to ubuntu, but it dosent like ubuntu to windows | 05:24 |
| starnostar | usually i just plug the cord in and boom...done | 05:25 |
| greezmunkey | starnostar: can one ping the other? | 05:25 |
| foxmulder881 | michael_: that has to be one of the broadest questions I've ever seen to date. | 05:25 |
| n1lqj | yeah, it is a thing with Windows XP, I'm assuming that is what you are running now that I think of the problem | 05:25 |
| starnostar | they dont even see each other, both ethernet ports are working (checked) and the cord is good (checked that too) | 05:25 |
| n1lqj | what version of XP? | 05:26 |
| greezmunkey | starnostar: can one ping the other? | 05:26 |
| starnostar | gimme a sec to get local ip for netbook | 05:26 |
| foxmulder881 | michael_: do this. sudo apt-get install htop | 05:26 |
| IdleOne | michael_: you can use the arrow up key to see a "history" of commands you ran | 05:26 |
| starnostar | yup, ping works | 05:27 |
| greezmunkey | starnostar: Open up Places and find a folder in your home directory, right click on the folder icon, and select "sharing options" check the box, and close out. Go to one of your winboxes and see if you can "see" it in network neighborhood. | 05:27 |
| foxmulder881 | michael_: once installed, run htop in terminal and see if you can find what process is using all of your systems resources. | 05:27 |
| starnostar | did that too, tested it on about 3 different folders | 05:27 |
| n1lqj | okay, do you have a firewall package installed in Ubunta? | 05:27 |
| n1lqj | Ubuntu | 05:27 |
| schnerf | is there anyone who knows what to do if I forgot to use a "screen" command before starting something that's going to take a long time? | 05:27 |
| starnostar | no, and now ping is unreachable, firewall in windows is disabled to rule it out (restarted afterwards too) | 05:28 |
| n1lqj | no ubuntu firewall | 05:28 |
| n1lqj | package such as firestarter | 05:28 |
| starnostar | yup, no ubuntu firewall | 05:28 |
| michael_ | thank yo foxmulder haha i just bought the entire xfiles dvds | 05:28 |
| n1lqj | sudo apt-get install firestarter | 05:28 |
| starnostar | vaniall install, just a few days ago | 05:28 |
| rww | !ufw | 05:28 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 05:28 |
| foxmulder881 | michael_: good stuff mate. | 05:28 |
| starnostar | firestarter is a firewall im guessing | 05:29 |
| michael_ | i just downloaded it im sort of a newb to llinux but i love learning everything about it | 05:29 |
| n1lqj | firewall is ip tables in the kernel, firestarter is a configurator | 05:29 |
| greezmunkey | starnostar: it is a front end for iptables | 05:29 |
| michael_ | ok so how do i run htop in linux | 05:29 |
| michael_ | in terminal | 05:29 |
| gpm | schnerf: i think you just have to start over | 05:30 |
| gpm | schnerf: (in screen) | 05:30 |
| foxmulder881 | michael_: open a terminal and type htop | 05:30 |
| starnostar | should i enable dhcp | 05:30 |
| schnerf | that's what I was afraid of. | 05:30 |
| dugger5688 | michael: cntrl+alt+t | 05:31 |
| n1lqj | did you install firestarter? | 05:31 |
| michael_ | awsome what exactly should i be looking for | 05:31 |
| starnostar | yup | 05:31 |
| n1lqj | sudo firestarter | 05:31 |
| eliotn__ | yay | 05:31 |
| greezmunkey | starnostar: why not simply staticly define the ehternet interfaces? | 05:31 |
| eliotn__ | I has a flaming executioners axe | 05:31 |
| schnerf | well, I'll call it a learning experience. | 05:31 |
| foxmulder881 | dugger5688: that's assuming he's running lucid. | 05:31 |
| n1lqj | greezmunkey, let me have him check this simple thing first | 05:31 |
| dugger5688 | Was it not that before? lol, I always set it to that. | 05:32 |
| starnostar | kk, check what now? | 05:32 |
| foxmulder881 | michael_: scroll down and view what is using lots of cpu and mem. | 05:32 |
| greezmunkey | n1lqj: go for it, sorry :) | 05:32 |
| foxmulder881 | dugger5688: nope. New to lucid I think. | 05:32 |
| Pen | having a router, can having Ubuntu on 1 computer, fuck it up for the router for others who run Windows Xp? | 05:32 |
| foxmulder881 | dugger5688: I always set it to Windows key. | 05:32 |
| n1lqj | starnostar, okay once into firestarter, under preferences you should have settings, under one of the tabs on the left you'll see filter settings on the right. Make sure network broadcasts are enabled | 05:32 |
| tsimpson | Pen: first, please watch your language. second, no it won't effect the router or other computers connected | 05:33 |
| n1lqj | Samba is a network broadcast protocol | 05:33 |
| greezmunkey | Pen: dude | 05:33 |
| Xcell | i c what it this is. these folks are forensically subjugating their constituents, meaning, we the simple people R done....watch. | 05:33 |
| starnostar | kk | 05:33 |
| Pen | Sorry, forgot kids get help here. | 05:34 |
| n1lqj | okay, is network broadcast enabled? | 05:34 |
| foxmulder881 | Pen: lol. We need a #ubuntu-adultsonly channel. | 05:34 |
| * fr1sco is a RDR gangsta | 05:34 | |
| starnostar | there are options to block broadcasts, i turned them off | 05:34 |
| n1lqj | l. try it now | 05:35 |
| n1lqj | hit apply first | 05:35 |

| starnostar | oh, you mean not in setting, in main window? | 05:37 |
| n1lqj | click policy | 05:37 |
| n1lqj | its a tab on the right of the tabs | 05:38 |
| Pen | the router doesn't recognize the cable coming from the modem, it does if the modem is directly plugged into my computer, but other than that, it's too slow for it to work. Its an ORANGE light on my netgear router | 05:38 |
| n1lqj | is linux machine behind another firewall? | 05:38 |
| starnostar | no, direct connect from ethernet port to ethernet port | 05:38 |
| Pen | for? | 05:38 |
| n1lqj | no I mean in normal operation | 05:38 |
| starnostar | hardware firewall (router) | 05:39 |

| starnostar | xp sp3 | 05:41 |
| n1lqj | what version of XP, I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess Home Edition | 05:41 |
| Cyber_Akuma-Lapt | Sigh, the Radeon 9600Pro isn't supported in 10.04 is it? | 05:42 |
| starnostar | ya, came with my wind | 05:42 |
| Cyber_Akuma-Lapt | Is that over for the 9600 or are they still considering releasing drivers? | 05:42 |

| starnostar | it works on wifi though, i dont see why there would be a difference | 05:43 |

| lzz_ | hhgfg | 05:43 |
| electrofreak | quick question, what precisely does update-initramfs do? | 05:43 |
| voss749 | n1, I can print from linux to an XP home computer hosting a printer | 05:43 |
| n1lqj | Thats why I had you drop the firewall and enable the boradcasts. wifi is using a seperate router though right? | 05:43 |
| tharkun | electrofreak: use your brain it is self explanatory | 05:43 |
| ennui | if I am formating my PPC's HD. whay "type" should I choose? It will only be running ubuntu | 05:43 |
| starnostar | ya | 05:43 |
| michael_ | nope its kinda reachinig its peak but its fairly fast its an hp pavillion a6567 | 05:44 |
| starnostar | where is the samba.conf file located? | 05:44 |
| electrofreak | tharkun: yea, but.... what file does it touch? | 05:44 |
| edbian | michael_, Really? What site are you on? Is it flash intensive? | 05:44 |
| n1lqj | /etc/samba | 05:44 |
| n1lqj | try the router instead of direct connect | 05:44 |
| n1lqj | see what happens | 05:44 |
| michael_ | not at all its the ubuntugoogle homepage | 05:44 |
| edbian | michael_, What kind of processor? | 05:44 |
| tharkun | ennui: if you are running a server go for ext3 else whatever you feel like | 05:45 |
| greezmunkey | n1lqj: starnostar check this out: http://www.howtodothings.com/computers/a2335-how-to-connect-linux-and-xp-machines.html | 05:45 |

| joey_ | Question: I'm trying to install Lucid on an older ocmputer with NVIDIA graphics. The nv binary driver works fine on the livecd, but it seems to be installing nouveau by defualt, and will only boot with a command line. Is there a way to use nv right off the bat when installing it? | 05:46 |
| edbian | michael_, Look at top | 05:46 |
| ennui | tharkun: not a server I'm afraid. It's a mac. I know some formats are incompatable with booting OSX but this will only have ubuntu on it. | 05:46 |
| n1lqj | electrofreak, at prompt type df | 05:46 |
| n1lqj | $ drf | 05:46 |
| n1lqj | sorry $ df | 05:46 |
| n1lqj | what are the mounted partitions? | 05:47 |
| michael_ | idk what to look at lol | 05:47 |
| n1lqj | if you boot rescue disk, you need to mount your hd to /mnt somewhere | 05:47 |
| electrofreak | my root drive at /mnt/root/ | 05:47 |
| michael_ | OK FIREFOX is working normally again | 05:48 |
| n1lqj | is this a fresh install of 10.04 or an upgrade? | 05:48 |
| tharkun | ennui: then the one you feel like. xfs seems to be quite nice ;P | 05:48 |
| electrofreak | n1lqj: please understand, I'm pretty comfortable with linux... I know basics like what is mounted and stuff... it seems there is something wrong with my filesystem | 05:48 |
| AAA | electrofreak try /target/bin/bash | 05:48 |
| edbian | michael_, What did you do to fix it? | 05:48 |
| n1lqj | Trying to determine if you have grub or grub2 | 05:48 |
| electrofreak | AAA: that does work | 05:48 |
| michael_ | but i know something is funny in my system it shouldnt be anything hard to fix but i dont know what to look fo | 05:48 |
| edbian | michael_, In a terminal type "top" | 05:48 |
| edbian | michael_, press q to exit top | 05:49 |
| michael_ | lol i just restarted firefox | 05:49 |
| michael_ | ok im in top | 05:49 |
| electrofreak | AAA: but chroot does NOT work... it can't execute /bin/bash for some reason.... claims it doesn't exist | 05:50 |

| AAA | electrofreak try using busybox maybe | 05:50 |
| n1lqj | /bin/bash or /mnt/root/bin/bash? | 05:50 |
| michael_ | indicator app[le just showed 9999 cpu | 05:50 |
| AAA | electrofreak are you giving chroot the full /target path? | 05:50 |
| ennui | I know for a fact there was osx on this machine but the disk utility on the ubuntu live CD says the hard drive is all "free" despite it having several partitions of an "unknown scheme". | 05:50 |

| edbian | dd, You don't install a router on a computer. Those disc's that come with routers are just silly windows software. Totally unnecessary. They just make it easier to do things the web interface can do. | 05:53 |

| edbian | dd, Set up the router, make the connections, plug your computer into it (ethernet) and type 192.168.1.1 into firefox. | 05:53 |
| cyrex | just connecte the router with the ethernet cable to the pc | 05:53 |

| ubottu | The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. | 05:54 |
| AAA | electrofreak just now. lemme scrollup | 05:54 |
| n1lqj | electrofreak, still guestion I have is you tried to reinstall grub or grub2 from /boot/grub and reboot? | 05:54 |
| dd | lets' see if it works | 05:54 |
| dd | brb | 05:54 |

| michael_ | ok so theese are my problems flash pages fuck up firefox my audio controll in the top task bar wont let me controll volume but it works and when i login things seem funny also when i try to extract a .rar file i get this error Reading the archive '/home/michael/Downloads/Hottub-crazydude36.rar' failed with the error 'Failed to locate program 'unrar' in PATH.' | 05:54 |
| electrofreak | n1lqj: nope.... haven't touched it... grub isn't the problem | 05:54 |
| n1lqj | what was original prob again? | 05:55 |
| edbian | michael_, Oh where to start. archive problem: "sudo apt-get install unrar" | 05:55 |
| edbian | michael_, i don't understand the problem about the audio applet or logging in. What the heck does funny mean? | 05:55 |
| n1lqj | I mean when you look under /mnt/root your filesystem is still there? at least the directory entries? | 05:56 |
| edbian | michael_, To fix flash you have to convince adobe to write better flash player software for linux or convince the web to switch entirely to html5 | 05:56 |
| edbian | michael_, Or write your own flash player! (Please do that would be swell) | 05:56 |
| electrofreak | n1lqj: yes | 05:56 |
| foxmulder881 | If anyone missed me, I'm back now. | 05:56 |
| michael_ | your awesome adbian | 05:56 |
| michael_ | edbian | 05:56 |
| AAA | electrofreak did you run chkrootkit ? | 05:56 |
| michael_ | ill describe to you what i mean by funny in a bit | 05:57 |
| wedg | are there any decent linux certs? | 05:57 |
| electrofreak | AAA, no... should that be in chroot? | 05:57 |
| edbian | michael_, No prob Thanks! :) | 05:57 |
| AAA | electrofreak I'd try there | 05:57 |
| electrofreak | AAA, how would I go about running that? | 05:57 |
| desevg | Hi, how I can display list of directory by pages in a ftp session? When I write ls -al | more, it outputs: output to local-file: more[anpqy?]?: If I write local path, file is created, but it is empty. please, tell me, how I can get list fo directories from ftp server? | 05:58 |
| coz_ | hey guys...has there been any progress with installling "official" nvidia drivers on lucid?? the ones offereed in jockey are real sucky :) | 05:58 |
| electrofreak | AAA, I dunno what I have such an executable.... | 05:58 |
| michael_ | well when i login things are happening a bit slower and the startup jungle beat didnt happen untill about 3 minutes later and it usually started imediatly | 05:58 |
| n1lqj | sudo apt-get install chkrootkit | 05:58 |
| n1lqj | sudo chkrootkit | 05:58 |
| edbian | michael_, ha ha. Really? I would just keep a close eye on "top" It's a great program! :) Watch it for things sucking up a lot of the processor and then google those processes. | 05:59 |
| ennui | trying to install ubuntu on my old PPC but it seems stuck after the part where I choose the time. Is there a way to check to make sure the HD isn't damage? it would give me some sort of error at some point if it couldn't complete the installation right? | 05:59 |
| n1lqj | hell I'm running it for good measure | 05:59 |
| AAA | electrofreak ok, really just a thought. there is a chance your binaries don't exe because of a rootkit. I don't know how much of a chance that is. did you recently add new software? or change your filesystem in some way? | 05:59 |
| electrofreak | n1lqj: no apt-get is possible it seems.... | 05:59 |
| AAA | electrofreak then install it I say | 06:00 |
| electrofreak | AAA, well.... I have a dir in my root by the name of: " | 06:00 |
| n1lqj | electrofreak: this is booting off the rescue cd and no apt-get? | 06:00 |
| electrofreak | AAA, yes, literally a quatation | 06:00 |
| yokishi | does FDE in ubuntu on the alt install cd erase all previous data? | 06:00 |
| AAA | electrofreak the dir name is >>> " <<< that " char? | 06:00 |
| electrofreak | n1lqj: I could apt-get on the live-cd.... but dunno what good that would do | 06:01 |
| electrofreak | AAA correct | 06:01 |
| electrofreak | AAA is that evidence of a rootkit?? | 06:01 |
| n1lqj | you can download the .deb and install with aptitude in a jam, save to a thumb drive | 06:01 |
| electrofreak | AAA that would suck.... and I'd be lost as to how/when it got there | 06:01 |
| AAA | electrofreak hard to say, but fishy for sure. what is in it? who owns it? | 06:01 |
| electrofreak | AAA root, nothing in it | 06:02 |
| n1lqj | this makes no dang sense. | 06:02 |
| AAA | electrofreak date? atime? | 06:02 |
| yokishi | does FDE in ubuntu on the alt install cd erase all previous data? | 06:02 |
| electrofreak | AAA and basically impossible to remove. I was attempting to remove it before all this happened | 06:02 |
| electrofreak | AAA, date was from 2008 sometime | 06:02 |
| electrofreak | AAA, no... 2009-8-30 | 06:02 |
| n1lqj | if there is a root kit, then the machine is just compermised | 06:03 |
| yokishi | does FDE in ubuntu on the alt install cd erase all previous data? | 06:03 |
| n1lqj | AAA, is home on it's own partition? | 06:04 |
| n1lqj | I mean electrofreak | 06:04 |
| yokishi | someone please help | 06:04 |
| electrofreak | n1lqj, AAA. no, home is on the same partition.... I can recover the files I need before I do stuff like that.... | 06:04 |
| crazygir | hiya, attempting to follow these directions in getting support for a newer model wacom tablet: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1466770 | 06:05 |
| crazygir | results in: http://dpaste.org/LiS5/ | 06:05 |
| electrofreak | n1lqj: I'm not worried about that.... just the amount of time it will take to get everything back up and running :-( | 06:05 |
| xorwhy | How do I complete disable mouse loading cursors? | 06:05 |
| n1lqj | if the machine is compromised, you are no longer the owner, back up home and wipe it | 06:05 |
| AAA | electrofreak ls -lau in /root/" is the date newer? | 06:06 |
| CrOnOs__ | hi any one here have experience whit ntfsundelete?? | 06:06 |
| yokishi | is there a way to use Gutmann or DoD to write over your entire HDD besides DBAN? | 06:06 |
| xorwhy | DBAN, is that boot and nuke? | 06:06 |
| AAA | electrofreak did you run chkrootkit? | 06:06 |
| n1lqj | -lau or -lad? | 06:06 |
| dugger5688 | Wait someone on here actually got a rootkit?! | 06:06 |
| electrofreak | n1lqj: woah.... permission denied | 06:06 |
| AAA | n1lqj u shows atime | 06:06 |
| n1lqj | sudo | 06:06 |
| electrofreak | n1lqj: oh... newer than what? | 06:07 |
| Pen | 192.168.1.1 Whoever told me to do this, I appreciate it very much, it works now. | 06:07 |
| edbian | pen | 06:07 |
| punto | hi.. I want to switch from kubuntu to ubuntu, if I remove kubuntu-desktop and install ubuntu-desktop with apt-get, will that work? | 06:07 |
| edbian | Pen, no problem!! | 06:07 |
| n1lqj | probaly ls -lau / | 06:07 |
| n1lqj | I'm guessing | 06:08 |
| edbian | punto, yep | 06:08 |
| yokishi | is there a way to use Gutmann or DoD to write over your entire HDD besides DBAN? | 06:08 |
| xangua | punto: no, kubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage | 06:08 |
| crazygir | no tablet users? | 06:08 |
| crazygir | yokishi: dd? | 06:08 |
| xangua | mmm there was a quote to uninstall kde files | 06:08 |
| AAA | electrofreak look at the difference of ls -la /root/" and ls -lau /root/" the u shows atime | 06:08 |
| yokishi | crazygir, what's that? | 06:08 |
| edbian | xangua, it is a meta pack so it gets ride of all the kde stuff | 06:08 |
| crazygir | a command line utility? | 06:08 |
| electrofreak | -u has some things that are touched later.... | 06:09 |
| yokishi | Crazygir is it a major procedure to learn it | 06:09 |
| punto | it looks like if I remove kubuntu-desktop, that's the only package that gets removed.. but none of its dependencies | 06:09 |
| AAA | electrofreak aha | 06:09 |
| electrofreak | AAA later than creation.... | 06:10 |
| electrofreak | er... | 06:10 |
| edbian | punto, oh.... idk then!! tell me if you figure it out | 06:10 |
| n1lqj | electrofreak /root appears to be all hidden files aka ls .* works, fyi | 06:10 |
| crazygir | yokishi: from the questions you are asking, I'd say you might have a difficult time. Humans are powerful though, if you think about it, I'm sure you'd be able to figure it out :) | 06:10 |
| crazygir | man dd | 06:10 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | could anyone give me a hand with this guide? http://www.linuxinsight.com/how-to-flash-motherboard-bios-from-linux-no-dos-windows-no-floppy-drive.html | 06:10 |
| electrofreak | n1lqj: yes, I know. | 06:10 |
| yokishi | crazygir, thank you, but that made no sense at all. | 06:10 |
| dugger5688 | punto: you might have to do a sudo apt-get autoremove afterwards. But I recommend doing 'remove kubuntu-desktop' then 'install ubuntu-desktop' then 'autoremove' | 06:11 |
| AAA | electrofreak is chkrootkit done running yet? | 06:11 |
| electrofreak | AAA, oh, let me try that I guess | 06:11 |
| greezmunkey | PlutoISaPlanet: What link was that? http://howto.make-a-frisbee.out-of-mobo.com | 06:11 |
| n1lqj | no aptitude he's got to install it an alternate way | 06:12 |
| AAA | electrofreak still nothing that says you are rooted. just things that ain't right | 06:12 |
| punto | edbian: this looks like it http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome | 06:12 |
| n1lqj | AAA, so he boot of the rescue CD? I'm a bit confused | 06:13 |
| crazygir | yokishi: exactly my point :) | 06:13 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | or any other method that would allow me to flash my BIOS with an exe file would be fine | 06:13 |
| wildbat | question~ can anyone know how to fix the lid button? it is not working correctly, when pressed the screen off for 0.5sec and back on, as well as when released. any clue? | 06:13 |
| edbian | punto, thats crazy try using aptitude | 06:13 |
| Shapeshiftr | YAR | 06:13 |
| Shapeshiftr | I can't connect to my IP | 06:13 |
| punto | no way, apt-get rocks :p | 06:13 |
| AAA | n1lqj is true | 06:14 |
| edbian | !aptitude | 06:14 |
| ubottu | aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide | 06:14 |
| doldrums | can I make windows in gnome un/shade Instead of max/unmaximize when I double click on the title bar? | 06:14 |
| Sangeeth | How could i contribute to open source community... Any one help me please.. | 06:14 |
| n1lqj | Okay, so where I am confused is the utilities he needs should be on ram disk from cd | 06:14 |
| wildbat | PlutoISaPlanet, you can have get the dos boot floppy and chainload the fopply image. | 06:15 |
| AAA | doldrums system > prefs > windows > roll | 06:15 |
| \shade\ | Sangeeth: There are a number of ways: contributing code, reporting bugs, helping users in IRC/forums/mailinglists | 06:15 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | wildbat: not sure what you mean by chainload | 06:15 |
| electrofreak | AAA chkrootkit didn't return anything unusual looking | 06:15 |
| wildbat | PlutoISaPlanet, http://www.linuxinsight.com/how-to-flash-motherboard-bios-from-linux-no-dos-windows-no-floppy-drive.html | 06:15 |
| Stupendoussteve | Sangeeth: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/get-involved | 06:15 |
| Sangeeth | \Shade\: I wanna contribute code, in particular... | 06:15 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | wildbat: that's the same link i posted... it's over my head | 06:16 |
| electrofreak | AAA I really feel like it's just a filesystem is effed up type of thing.... | 06:16 |
| AAA | electrofreak not suprised. you said you couldn't run many commands before the rescue cd. can you run them now? | 06:16 |
| electrofreak | any ideas how I can remove the " dir? | 06:16 |
| \shade\ | Sangeeth: I don't know the official ubuntu process, however some places have you submit patches via the tracket | 06:16 |
| AAA | electrofreak rmdir \" should work | 06:16 |
| Stupendoussteve | electrofreak: Try removing \" | 06:16 |
| n1lqj | or '"' | 06:16 |
| michael_ | damn guys thanks foxmulder881 and edbian could you believe i followed a tutorial to fix youtube controlls using a 64bit flash plugin for firefox once i deleted it everything is back to normal | 06:17 |
| wildbat | PlutoISaPlanet, basically the method is to boot DOS ~ | 06:17 |
| electrofreak | AAA, I can run thatm from the HDD when it's mounted.... but if I chroot, the things wont execut | 06:17 |
| edbian | michael_, awesome!! :) | 06:17 |
| foxmulder881 | michael_: great. | 06:17 |
| T-rock007 | does anyone like fedora | 06:17 |
| Sangeeth | /shade/ could you help me with some please... | 06:17 |
| edbian | T-rock007, yes | 06:17 |
| n1lqj | just a simple question. Same arcitecture on rescue cd as machine HDD? ake 32 ore 64 bit? | 06:18 |
| electrofreak | WAIT | 06:18 |
| AAA | electrofreak and execute bits _are_ set, correct? | 06:18 |
| wildbat | PlutoISaPlanet, most manufacture give you a option to download a upgrade floppy | 06:18 |
| electrofreak | there is something in " | 06:18 |
| dugger5688 | T-rock007: I used to use it, but eventually ubuntu kind of caught up on the stability front. | 06:18 |
| \shade\ | Sangeeth: You'd have to ask another member, I'm not that informed on ubuntu's processes | 06:18 |
| Stupendoussteve | Sangeeth: Learn how to create and modify Debian packages, look for bugs, fix the bugs and submit patches. This is all done on launchpad | 06:18 |
| electrofreak | it seems the " is the other way than what the keyboard puts out... | 06:18 |
| Walrus23 | :/ what would give me an IO error when i install ubuntu 10.04? it worked last night, what could have changed in 8 hours? | 06:18 |
| T-rock007 | really, i used it for a year and i had nothing but issues | 06:18 |
| Stupendoussteve | Sangeeth: See: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/get-involved/developers | 06:18 |
| wildbat | PlutoISaPlanet, that is what you need to get. | 06:18 |
| dugger5688 | T-rock007: /join #fedora | 06:18 |
| T-rock007 | thats why i had to go back to good old ubuntu | 06:18 |
| T-rock007 | ok | 06:19 |
| * SReject high-five's T-rock007 | 06:19 | |
| dugger5688 | or not, it might not exist. | 06:19 |
| dugger5688 | lol. | 06:19 |
| AAA | electrofreak I don't fully grok that. what is in that dir? find /root/" | 06:19 |
| SReject | dugger5688, finally got a vidcard that both ubuntu and windows likes | 06:19 |
| ejwaxx | T-rock007: Fedora was the first linux distro I used...which is why I abandoned linux in college, and nearly did again a couple years later. Until I found the Ubuntu :) | 06:19 |
| Sangeeth | Thanks!.. Stupendoussteve | 06:19 |
| dugger5688 | SReject: Nice! Which one? | 06:19 |
| SReject | An old geforce 4 :X | 06:20 |
| T-rock007 | yeah its not what its cracked up to be | 06:20 |
| electrofreak | AAA, it looks like just a copy/paste eff up from some command a long time ago.... | 06:20 |
| Stupendoussteve | I used to work on fixing bugs in packages, or getting packages updated for new releases through syncs and merges. Took a bit more time than I have available though | 06:20 |
| dugger5688 | haha, that's what I used before my CPU burned outl | 06:20 |
| T-rock007 | the way you have to install video drivers is a pain in the butt | 06:20 |
| xue | ／join #china-cn | 06:20 |
| SReject | dugger5688 sweet | 06:20 |
| SReject | xue or not | 06:20 |
| michael_ | hey guys i have another issue i used the package manager to install a lamp server but i dont think apache is configured with php correctly local host works but when i created the info.php file and try to access it through local host it brings up info.php as a download | 06:20 |
| xue | hi,SReject | 06:21 |
| bullgard | What is a "rate-type attribute"? man smartctl: "Each Attribute also has a "Worst" value shown under the heading "WORST". This is the smallest (closest to failure) value that the disk has recorded at any time during its lifetime when SMART was enabled. [Note however that some vendors firmware may actually increase the "Worst" value for some "rate-type" Attributes.]" | 06:21 |
| AAA | electrofreak cool, I wouldn't worry too much then. give me an example of a command that isn't exec now | 06:21 |
| Sangeeth | Stupendoussteve : But i would look forward to build from basic level... Is it possible over here?.. | 06:21 |
| n1lqj | whats the command? curious | 06:21 |
| electrofreak | /bin/bash | 06:21 |
| Sangeeth | Stupendoussteve, I am good at c++... | 06:21 |
| n1lqj | kill it | 06:21 |
| Stupendoussteve | Sangeeth: Best way is to make a piece of software worth having, get it put into Debian and Ubuntu | 06:21 |
| electrofreak | AAA and /sbin/init wont be found... it's like the filesystem is jsut confused or something... | 06:22 |
| SReject | how do i restart x without restarting my computer? | 06:22 |
| yokishi | is this a safe command, ejwaxx just gave me: "dd if=/dev/zero of=(identifier of disk) bs=1M" | 06:22 |
| electrofreak | SReject: restart gdm | 06:22 |
| n1lqj | SReject alt-ctrl-backspace | 06:22 |
| Stupendoussteve | Sangeeth: You have to start with the basics first though, fixing bugs and patching gets you recognized, you could eventually help work on custom applications put into Ubuntu | 06:22 |
| electrofreak | SReject: or that | 06:22 |
| xue | logout ,then login | 06:22 |
| wildbat | yokishi, that wil WIPE your disk ~ if it is what you want | 06:22 |
| xue | SReject: logout ,then log in | 06:23 |
| yokishi | yes it is | 06:23 |
| AAA | electrofreak have you made recent changes to your disk or fs? added new disks? usb key maybe? | 06:23 |
| electrofreak | AAA no | 06:23 |
| Flannel | yokishi: That'll write zeros across your disk. You'd be more interested in 'shred'. Boot to a liveCD, and sudo shred /dev/whatever to overwrite it a few times with random data | 06:23 |
| T-rock007 | how do you go to boot menu when you turn on your computer | 06:23 |
| Stupendoussteve | Sangeeth: Gotta remember though, the majority of the distribution is written by independent developers not affiliated with Ubuntu (same goes for most distros) | 06:23 |
| ejwaxx | yokishi: as i said, it is only a safe command if you are *absolutely* sure you have the right disk! | 06:23 |
| n1lqj | so machine does boot just missing most commands? | 06:24 |
| Stupendoussteve | Sangeeth: If you really want involvement I would get involved with a smaller project that gets put into distributions, such as gnome/kde and associated apps | 06:24 |
| Sangeeth | Thanks again, Stupendoussteve | 06:24 |
| AAA | electrofreak does fdisk -l show anything funky on your drive | 06:24 |
| greezmunkey | electrofreak: have you ever run ecryptfs on your system? | 06:24 |
| Sangeeth | Stupendoussteve, Where could get into such projects... | 06:24 |
| vjsamuel | Sangeeth: dude, good to see you at irc. | 06:25 |
| ejwaxx | Flannel: as an aside, is there any reason, performance or security wise, that shred is preferable to a zero-wipe? | 06:25 |
| Sangeeth | vjsamuel : Thanks a lot, for giving me such intel... | 06:26 |
| electrofreak | AAA, no... it's exactly what I would expect.. | 06:26 |
| Stupendoussteve | Sangeeth: See http://live.gnome.org/JoinGnome or http://www.kde.org/community/getinvolved/development/ if you're interested in those | 06:26 |
| AAA | electrofreak greezmunkey had a great question | 06:26 |
| electrofreak | AAA, I ran an e2fsck... nothing came back as being a problem... | 06:26 |
| Flannel | ejwaxx: shred provides status updates, which I like, it also is more versatile in my mind. And it'll do multiple passes automatically | 06:26 |
| electrofreak | greezmunkey: sorry, no.... no encryption | 06:26 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | mbat: this looks promising: http://linux.dell.com/projects.shtml ... but I'm not sure which of these to download: http://linux.dell.com/biosdisk/ | 06:26 |
| Stupendoussteve | There's tons of ways to get involved, usually just have to find a project you're interested in. You usually begin by submitting patches. If you find a bug you can even submit patches to the Linux kernel | 06:26 |
| Sangeeth | Vj : would surely pay you back with some knowledge about whatever i know on one day... :) | 06:26 |
| greezmunkey | electrofreak: not even to "play" with it? | 06:26 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | wildbat: please see above, mispelled your name | 06:27 |
| electrofreak | greezmunkey: no, sorry. never used it, heh | 06:27 |
| vjsamuel | Sangeeth: awesome! | 06:27 |
| Flannel | Sangeeth: http://www.ubuntu.com/community | 06:28 |
| AAA | electrofreak no audits, or kerberos or other weird pam stuff? | 06:28 |
| Traveler1 | what is a ARM(armel) port? | 06:28 |
| electrofreak | AAA no :-/ | 06:28 |
| === Ganymede_ is now known as Ganymede | ||
| Flannel | Sangeeth: That page provides a bunch of links if you're looking to start participating. There's a bunch of ways to do so (both technical and non) | 06:28 |
| n1lqj | curious cat /bin/bash | head -n 1 does it look like a header? | 06:28 |
| Sangeeth | Guys! I'm getting a feel of what would the open source community feel like... Thanks to all... | 06:28 |
| vjsamuel | Flannel, Stupendoussteve: thanks for helping out my friend. he was dying to get into open source. :) | 06:28 |
| Sangeeth | Flannel : Thank you!... | 06:29 |
| wildbat | PlutoISaPlanet, biosdisk-git-06112010.tar.gz | 06:29 |
| electrofreak | n1lqj: yes... normal x86-64.so.2 crap and such... | 06:29 |
| n1lqj | well that answers encryption question | 06:30 |
| wildbat | PlutoISaPlanet, extract and read README ~ they have steps for you | 06:30 |
| AAA | electrofreak scrape your /var/log/{kern.log|syslog} for funkness with READ-SEEK COMPLETE or drives not spinning up or that type | 06:30 |
| electrofreak | n1lqj: exactly identical to the livecd's version, actually | 06:30 |
| CaptainTrek | i'm trying to watch a .wmv file on here, but it requires the Windows Media Player 9 codec. Is there anywhere I can get a codec that can decode such files? | 06:30 |
| electrofreak | AAA, I actually already did that.... I don't think it's a hardware problem | 06:30 |
| Traveler1 | what is a armel(ARM) port? | 06:30 |
| xangua | have you already installed restricted-extras CaptainTrek¿ | 06:30 |
| tsimpson | Traveler1: ARM is a type of processor, like Intel/AMD | 06:31 |
| Zeike | CaptainTrek: VLC will be able to play most file types you can throw at it | 06:31 |
| ejwaxx | CaptainTrek: install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package and it should give you a codec | 06:31 |

| n1lqj | it also answers the question does the directory entry point to a read file | 06:31 |
| AAA | electrofreak if you were to reboot right now would you be able to get a shell on the machine? if not, how does it fail? | 06:31 |
| electrofreak | AAA, no.... it fails saying /sbin/init: no such file or dir | 06:31 |
| n1lqj | sorry real file | 06:32 |
| electrofreak | AAA, and yes... that file is there and readable when it's just mounted at /target on the livecd... | 06:32 |
| AAA | electrofreak and then just dies with no log/debug | 06:32 |
| n1lqj | electrofreak, cp /sbin/init from CD filesystem to yours? | 06:32 |
| electrofreak | AAA, well... kernel panics.... because it has nothing to do | 06:32 |
| AAA | electrofreak have you tried single mode? | 06:32 |
| CaptainTrek | Zeike: tried that it didnt work. Xangua / ejwaxx: installing restricted extras now | 06:32 |
| n1lqj | steal the file and just replace it | 06:32 |
| n1lqj | aka cp /sbin/init /mnt/root/sbin/init | 06:33 |
| Zeike | CaptainTrek: vlc didn't work? Did it give you any errors? | 06:33 |
| Traveler1 | what is a f-spot? | 06:33 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | wildbat: reading through it. Getting permissions errors trying to copy files to /usr/sbat... can't change permissions because I'm not the owner?? | 06:33 |
| CaptainTrek | Zeike: couldnt find codec for what it needed, it doesnt matter testing it all with restricted extras installed | 06:33 |
| Sangeeth | CaptainTrek : While you try to open with your default player in OS, it will automatically tell you about missing plugin... Jus' install them.... | 06:33 |
| AAA | electrofreak linux init=/bin/sh | 06:34 |
| electrofreak | AAA, isn't sbin/init needed for singlemode, too? | 06:34 |
| CaptainTrek | Sangeeth: it couldnt find a plugin thats the other issue | 06:34 |

| n1lqj | electrofreak what about cp of sbin/init? | 06:34 |
| Sangeeth | CaptainTrek : Sorry, i'm a rookie... I hope the pros would help you... | 06:34 |
| AAA | n1lqj the file is there | 06:35 |
| n1lqj | maybe it is corrupt or the directory entry is | 06:35 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | wildbat: i'm really new to this. I'm not sure what you mean | 06:35 |

| megaflow | I'm looking for an application in Ubuntu that will let me do those things you see on walkthroughs of software, where the guy is talking, zooms in and out on the thing he is demonstrating and rings appear around the cursor when they are clicking on things. | 06:36 |
| megaflow | on Youtube | 06:36 |
| Traveler1 | thank you | 06:36 |
| n1lqj | aaa doesn't that depend on 32 or 64 bit? | 06:37 |
| vjsamuel | flames: try the update manager | 06:37 |
| Zeike | infid: there indeed is. its called redshift, let me find it | 06:37 |
| flames | current use version 2.6.6 | 06:37 |

| Shapeshiftr | how do I check if my apache server's running? | 06:37 |
| electrofreak | should I try copying it from the livecd?? | 06:37 |
| flames | pidgin have version 2.7.1 | 06:37 |
| n1lqj | I would or run cmp between them | 06:37 |
| flames | complie from source | 06:37 |
| megaflow | Thanks prince_jammys | 06:37 |
| prince_jammys | megaflow: there are probably alternatives, but that is one app. | 06:37 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | I've used sudo in the terminal a bit, I know a bit about what it does but I'm not sure what you mean by just telling me 'sudo'... to fix my permissions? | 06:38 |
| AAA | electrofreak 32 bit? | 06:38 |
| infid | thanks Zeike it seems to be in the software sources | 06:38 |
| electrofreak | AAA 64 | 06:38 |
| xangua | you can find the instructiones in http://www.pidgin.im/ flames | 06:38 |
| AAA | electrofreak n1lqj called it | 06:38 |
| greezmunkey | electrofreak: still trying to solve the wierd character issue? If so I would guess that the "special" character was created with a differant keyboard encoding scheme, other than UTF-8, what I don't know, and you can't wild card it since it's only one character... | 06:38 |
| n1lqj | I got 64 bit how do I check md5 | 06:38 |
| bullgard | What is a "rate-type attribute"? man smartctl: "Each Attribute also has a "Worst" value shown under the heading "WORST". This is the smallest (closest to failure) value that the disk has recorded at any time during its lifetime when SMART was enabled.

| Zeike | infid: https://launchpad.net/~jonls/+archive/redshift-ppa | 06:38 |
| flames | ok | 06:38 |
| AAA | n1lqj md5sum /sbin/init | 06:38 |
| electrofreak | AAA, actually... md5sum matches the livecd (64-bit) | 06:38 |
| n1lqj | c8a746652ca4fb3dc5c6f838101a6704 /sbin/init | 06:39 |
| electrofreak | n1lqj: they compare perfectly | 06:39 |
| n1lqj | 64 bit | 06:39 |
| electrofreak | n1lqj: yep, have that. | 06:39 |
| electrofreak | so that file isn't corrupt.... | 06:39 |
| AAA | electrofreak what filesystem? | 06:39 |
| electrofreak | ext3 | 06:39 |
| electrofreak | it must be messed up somehow... | 06:39 |
| n1lqj | okay, lets stop for a second. what calls sbin/init? how is it called? is that broken? | 06:39 |
| AAA | electrofreak or the journal is | 06:39 |
| Zeike | electrofreak: have you done fsck? | 06:39 |
| RudyValencia | n1lqj: The kernel calls init | 06:40 |
| flames | ./configure && make OK | 06:40 |
| flames | sudo make install make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. | 06:40 |
| flames | what problem | 06:40 |
| electrofreak | AAA, any ideas how to fix it? | 06:40 |
| n1lqj | electrofreak, can you boot the previous kernel? | 06:40 |
| electrofreak | n1lqj: no | 06:40 |
| xpike | is there another browser that supports flash better than firefox? | 06:40 |
| Zeike | flames: not all source packages come configured to do 'make install' | 06:41 |
| xpike | im sick of firefox crashing due to too many flash embeds | 06:41 |
| n1lqj | okay, sbin checks means directory entry is good and its called by the kernel directly, oye vey | 06:41 |
| AAA | electrofreak man, this is a tough one. it can be fixed. almost thinking bios something | 06:41 |
| electrofreak | Zeike: yes... but are there more advanced options I could run that would check more in depth? | 06:41 |
| flames | make install make: *** No rule to make target `install'. | 06:41 |
| Zeike | flames: not all source packages come configured to do 'make install' | 06:41 |
| Shapeshiftr | I'm sick of bad tech support =/ | 06:41 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | could anyone walk me through giving myself permission to copy files into /boot/ | 06:42 |
| n1lqj | so are we down to the kernel? | 06:42 |
| n1lqj | or less? | 06:42 |
| Zeike | xpike: you might try chromium, but they use the same plugin so it might not help at all | 06:42 |
| n1lqj | PlutoSaPlanet sudo -s | 06:42 |
| Zeike | electrofreak: yes try that. also try booting older versions of the kernel if you still have them installed as other suggested | 06:42 |
| greezmunkey | Shapeshiftr: huh? | 06:42 |
| Pirate_Hunter | what is the application that allows the mount of devices i.e. usb pens/hard disks without the need of being root? | 06:42 |
| electrofreak | Zeike: sorry... try what? are there more options for fsck? | 06:43 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | n1lqj: thanks. Will i need to copy it through the terminal or can i do it through the gui? | 06:43 |
| n1lqj | terminal | 06:43 |
| Zeike | electrofreak: all the fsck options are in 'man fsck'. I'm not incredibly familiar with them myself though | 06:43 |
| n1lqj | elevates you to root | 06:43 |
| Shapeshiftr | ah! greezmunkey! | 06:43 |
| Shapeshiftr | it doesn't work. | 06:44 |
| Shapeshiftr | Nothing works anymore | 06:44 |
| Shapeshiftr | It used to somewhat | 06:44 |
| AAA | electrofreak you could try fsck.ext3 -D -v /dev/foo to reindex and optimize | 06:44 |
| Shapeshiftr | and now, no. | 06:44 |
| Pirate_Hunter | PlutoISaPlanet, gksudo nautilus if you need root access through nautilus, however, what are you trying to do with you dont mind me asking | 06:44 |
| electrofreak | AAA, could I try e2undo? | 06:44 |
| AAA | electrofreak unfamiliar | 06:44 |
| n1lqj | electrofreak is /etc/fstab look correct? | 06:45 |
| electrofreak | n1lqj: yes | 06:45 |

| Pirate_Hunter | Shapeshiftr, I don't know what is your problem or if I can help you but could you explain it to me | 06:45 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | Pirate_Hunter: following the readme in there | 06:45 |

| AAA | n1lqj electrofreak but this is failing way before fstab is read. didn't you say you had a working system, and then apps started not to work? | 06:45 |
| greezmunkey | Shapeshiftr: ok, roll up your sleves...what is going on. | 06:45 |
| n1lqj | you can read the FS, and the files a byte for byte correct but file is not found | 06:46 |
| electrofreak | AAA, correct | 06:46 |
| n1lqj | what are permissions on /sbin/init? | 06:46 |
| electrofreak | n1lqj: correct | 06:46 |

| electrofreak | n1lqj: that is what I have | 06:47 |
| Valkyrie | Alright. I came to you guys, even if I don't use Ubuntu. | 06:47 |
| Shapeshiftr | I can't connect tothe IP | 06:47 |
| Pirate_Hunter | PlutoISaPlanet, fair enough, good luck you should be fine just using sudo to cp/mv files from one place to another (CLI) otherwise gksudo nautilus should work, however, beware if you bork anything up as root you may damage your system | 06:47 |
| AAA | electrofreak maybe grub is just tore up. rerun grub on it | 06:47 |
| bricky | sun-java6-jre -- anybody know where to get one of these? | 06:47 |
| greezmunkey | Shapeshiftr: first, you are on server, right? | 06:47 |
| Valkyrie | I'm on Gnome. Tryign it out for once. I've never actually used it. I downloaded a theme from gnome-look. And, I attempted to install it (Dragging it into the themes thing) But, it refused to install, because, apparently I need to be root | 06:47 |
| booi | bricky: the ubuntu partner repo | 06:47 |
| xpike | this is the most unstable distro ive ever used, everything is broken | 06:47 |
| Shapeshiftr | yeah, Server 10.04 | 06:47 |
| Shapeshiftr | no GUI | 06:48 |
| booi | xpike: no YOU SUCK | 06:48 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Shapeshiftr, are you trying to point the domain to a site within your server or to the actual server? | 06:48 |
| bricky | booi: its a repo? ok thanks | 06:48 |
| AAA | electrofreak has to be your mbr/grub | 06:48 |
| Valkyrie | So, I did the next best thing. Dragged the .tar.gz into my ~/.themes/ directory. | 06:48 |
| Flannel | booi: Please don't be rude and obnoxious | 06:48 |
| Valkyrie | Still no dice on the theme. Any ideas? | 06:48 |
| Shapeshiftr | all I have on my system is LAMP, PERL, Webmin, and OpenSSL | 06:48 |
| booi | sorry reminded me of futurama | 06:48 |
| xpike | if i gotta do all this work JUST for simple things might as well go gentoo | 06:48 |
| n1lqj | electrofreak: AAA: mv /sbin/init /sbin/initbackup and copy cd sbin to hdd? | 06:48 |
| Shapeshiftr | Pirate_Hunter, actual server | 06:48 |
| electrofreak | AAA, I don't think so.... wouldn't explain why I was having problems while the system was running | 06:48 |
| n1lqj | maybe directory entry is hosed | 06:48 |
| megaflow | recordMyDesktop doesn't quite do that job. I captures the desktop fine, but it doesn't create rings where I click. Alas, I don't have a microphone either. sigh | 06:48 |
| Zeike | Valkyrie: you don't need to be root to do that. Sometimes when you download theme packages they actually put the theme archive inside another archive for some reason. | 06:49 |
| AAA | electrofreak maybe whatever was hosing your running system hosed grub | 06:49 |
| Shapeshiftr | When I first installed LAMP, I could connect to my IP fine, and I got the Apache message -- | 06:49 |
| flames | http://www.pidgin.im/nopaste/119 | 06:49 |
| Shapeshiftr | It works! | 06:49 |
| Shapeshiftr | This is the default web page for this server. | 06:49 |
| Shapeshiftr | The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet. | 06:49 |
| flames | help | 06:49 |
| electrofreak | n1lqj: is there a way to fix directory entries? I feel like the FS is definitely the problem. | 06:49 |
| Zeike | Valkyrie: also, if you do try to install it manually you need to extract the .tar.gz to the themes directory | 06:49 |
| Valkyrie | Zeike There's alot of different directories inside that directory | 06:49 |
| n1lqj | mv the /sbin folder to a new name and cp the one from the cd | 06:49 |
| n1lqj | that will create a new directory entry | 06:49 |
| Valkyrie | As, there's the Gnome-Panal directory, the GTK theme. The metacity theme. | 06:49 |
| greezmunkey | Shapeshiftr: what interface is pointed at the internet eth0, eth1 ?? | 06:50 |
| Shapeshiftr | eth0 | 06:50 |
| Zeike | flames: do you have intltool installed? | 06:50 |
| Shapeshiftr | i know that much | 06:50 |
| electrofreak | AAA, I'm running -D now.... maybe that'll help | 06:50 |
| flames | nope | 06:50 |
| Zeike | flames: `sudo apt-get install intltool` | 06:50 |
| AAA | electrofreak worth a shot | 06:50 |
| greezmunkey | Shapeshiftr: ok, look in /etc/network/interfaces, is there an entry for eth0 ? | 06:50 |
| flames | ok | 06:50 |
| xangua | flames: just ushe the pidgin PPA | 06:50 |
| xangua | use* | 06:50 |
| Zeike | flames: it says right there on the last line.. | 06:50 |
| n1lqj | electrofreak: I'm guesing that the sbin directory entry has an issue and the kernel can't use it right | 06:51 |
| electrofreak | n1lqj: possible... | 06:51 |
| Zeike | Valkyrie: can you link to the theme you downloaded? | 06:51 |
| n1lqj | I still suggest use mv to rename /sbin and copy /sbin from cd. If corrupt this will create a new non crupt folder /sbin | 06:52 |
| AAA | electrofreak ls -ld /sbin | 06:52 |
| Sangeeth | vjsamuel : Are you there?.. | 06:52 |

| Shapeshiftr | ? | 06:57 |
| greezmunkey | Shapeshiftr: after that run the netstat command I gave you - give it a few secs to start up though. | 06:57 |
| n1lqj | remove it don't purge it | 06:58 |
| === arcane is now known as dlbike76 | ||
| Shapeshiftr | it says /etc/init.d/httpd isn't a command | 06:58 |
| Shapeshiftr | should I put restart before the file path? | 06:58 |
| Valkyrie | Alright. | 06:58 |
| Valkyrie | That worked | 06:58 |
| greezmunkey | Shapeshiftr: ok, try sudo service apache2 restart | 06:58 |
| Flannel | {g}: If you don't use it, you could purge it if you'd like, yeah. | 06:58 |
| Shapeshiftr | ok. | 06:58 |
| prince_jammys | Shapeshiftr: probaby /etc/init.d/apache2 | 06:58 |
| prince_jammys | *bly | 06:58 |
| Valkyrie | But, now it's sayign that the theme I chose will not look right, because the required GTK+ theme was not instaleld | 06:58 |
| Valkyrie | Mytheme it's called | 06:59 |
| Traveler1 | what is a armel(ARM) port | 06:59 |
| Traveler1 | nvm | 06:59 |
| greezmunkey | prince_jammys: hey | 06:59 |
| Traveler1 | what is a serial connector | 06:59 |
| Valkyrie | o O Aint this gnome thing supposed to install it for me? | 06:59 |
| prince_jammys | greezmunkey: yo | 06:59 |
| Zeike | Valkyrie: you probably need a special engine. Can you link to the theme? | 06:59 |
| Flannel | Traveler1: What do you mean? | 06:59 |
| {g} | Flannel: "apt-get purge samba-common" is the right way? will the update manager then notice that it doesnt need to be updated anymore? | 06:59 |
| n1lqj | AAA: It's either his directory entry or some HW problem I would think if other kernels also won't boot | 06:59 |
| greezmunkey | prince_jammys: yeah, I thought of that after I hit send :) | 06:59 |
| prince_jammys | Traveler1: please use the web for "What is <random-non-ubuntu-related-thing>" | 06:59 |
| Shapeshiftr | ok, apache is running, checking the IP now | 06:59 |
| Valkyrie | http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/BloodMint+theme+with+dark+reds+and+black?content=123664 | 07:00 |
| Shapeshiftr | wow... | 07:00 |
| Valkyrie | @Zeike | 07:00 |
| Shapeshiftr | I must be a complete idiot :V | 07:00 |
| Flannel | {g}: If samba-common is the only package, yeah. I imagine there's another non -common package as well. And yes, it'll stop noticing they need updating. You will want to close update-manager before doing that though. | 07:00 |
| Shapeshiftr | I can load the IP now fine =/ | 07:00 |
| Zeike | Valkyrie: recieved | 07:00 |
| greezmunkey | Shapeshiftr: there you go, time to dig into how to put content on the httpd server ! | 07:00 |
| Shapeshiftr | apache just wasn't running the whole time.... | 07:00 |
| Flannel | {g}: Alternatively, you could open up synaptic (or whatever your favorite package manager is) and do it via that as well | 07:00 |
| Shapeshiftr | I guess I assumed it was auto-start? | 07:00 |
| n1lqj | greezmunkey, /var/www | 07:00 |
| AAA | n1lqj agreed | 07:00 |
| Shapeshiftr | the transition from windows to linux is hard =| | 07:01 |
| {g} | Flannel: what if samba-common is needed by other software? | 07:01 |
| Flannel | Shapeshiftr: It ought to autostart once you install it though | 07:01 |
| AAA | n1lqj or a bad grub line | 07:01 |
| greezmunkey | Shapeshiftr: part of being the system administrator is knowing how to determine what is running and what is not :) | 07:01 |
| Shapeshiftr | I would hope so :| | 07:01 |
| greezmunkey | n1lqj: yup | 07:01 |
| n1lqj | Shapeshiftr, once you learn linux, you have unix, and point blank, mac osx also | 07:01 |
| Pirate_Hunter | what is the application that allows the mount of devices i.e. usb pens/hard disks without the need of being root? | 07:01 |
| Flannel | {g}: When you try and remove that package, you'll be told which other packages are going to be removed. Those are the ones that 'require' it | 07:01 |
| Zeike | Valkyrie: this theme installed correctly for me by dragging the .tar.bz2 into the appearance window. | 07:01 |
| === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen | ||
| Shapeshiftr | ok, so that's just the beginning of it all. | 07:01 |
| n1lqj | altough I run mediawiki, I don | 07:02 |
| {g} | Flannel: yeah, but they might have crazy names i dont know anything about | 07:02 |
| n1lqj | 't run bare anymore for a server | 07:02 |
| Shapeshiftr | Now, GoDaddy's tutorials all assume you use a site's web hosting services. I'm using MySql | 07:02 |
| greezmunkey | Shapeshiftr: you are still polishing paint, not even close to being under the hood. | 07:02 |
| electrofreak | alright, well... I guess it's just time for me to go into recovery mode for all my crap. Thanks AAA and n1lqj and everyone else for your help.... this is definitely a tough issue... I'll try a few more things on my own, but then it's just copy and bale for me. | 07:02 |
| greezmunkey | Shapeshiftr: but, everybody start there too! | 07:02 |
| Shapeshiftr | All the tutorials I've read, even the ones for 10.04, don't work? | 07:02 |
| Flannel | {g}: I believe it'll be other samba stuff, and ubuntu-desktop. I'm not sure what else, but feel free to paste the "we're going to remove these other packages" stuff here and I'll take a look | 07:03 |
| n1lqj | electrofreak, try to cp directory from cd as last ditch option | 07:03 |
| salil_ | Why does mount.ntfs keep running and accessing disks randomly? | 07:03 |
| Shapeshiftr | yeah, it's infinitely useful once you learn it though, I feel | 07:03 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Shapeshiftr that is very hard to believe... | 07:03 |
| greezmunkey | Shapeshiftr: yeah, after a while you'll be able to read between the lines when it comes to tuts | 07:03 |
| n1lqj | you;ve got nothing to loose!!! | 07:03 |
| {g} | Flannel: should i use this: "apt-get purge smbclient" or add something like --autoremove to it? | 07:03 |
| megaflow | recordMyDesktop doesn't quite do that job. I captures the desktop fine, but it doesn't create rings where I click. Also, there's no zoom in zoom out. | 07:03 |
| AAA | electrofreak double check your grub. or maybe, just maybe fsck fixed it an it will just work :) | 07:03 |
| salil_ | I checked iotop and I see intermittent disk activity by mount.ntfs.. Sometimes it's a lot more than just intermittent.. | 07:03 |
| Flannel | {g}: That'll work just fine as is. | 07:03 |
| electrofreak | n1lqj: yep... I'll get all my files... not worried about that... just sucks that it happened now. | 07:03 |
| Valkyrie | Hmm. | 07:04 |
| n1lqj | yeah, but I'm saying mv /sbin /sbinbackup and cp the cd sbin to hdd and reboot and pray! | 07:04 |
| Valkyrie | I like this color theme. | 07:04 |
| {g} | Flannel: i heard that apt needs "--autoremove" to work as expected and delete anything unused. | 07:04 |
| Valkyrie | Now to find out about borderless terminals. | 07:04 |
| Valkyrie | Other than that? This Gnome thing is beast. | 07:04 |
| Valkyrie | Arch+Gnome is pretty sick | 07:04 |
| Shapeshiftr | what's ISPConfig and do I need it? | 07:04 |
| Flannel | {g}: That doesn't have anything to do with what you're doing right now, actually. | 07:04 |
| n1lqj | you've done everything but replace the directory and directory entry | 07:04 |
| n1lqj | entry | 07:05 |
| AAA | n1lqj that would defeat the purpose of doing fsck -D and not rebooting to try it first =p | 07:05 |
| n1lqj | okay reboot and if no go try that | 07:05 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Valkyrie, could you please keep theming in #ubuntu-offtopic sorry it doesn't seem like you're in need of actual help | 07:05 |
| n1lqj | other than that rebuild machine | 07:05 |
| gtoy | I have trouble with my Vaio I instaled 10.04 but I crash at startup.. | 07:05 |
| gtoy | I can workaround if i reprace quiet splash by nomodeset in the grub.. but I can't change the resolution and my screen is not recognized.. | 07:06 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Shapeshiftr, at this point you dont need it, but you can have a look on their website on what the soft. offers | 07:06 |
| n1lqj | AAA, this sucks. This is first machine in #ubuntu I wasn't able to bring back to life :( | 07:06 |
| sobersabre | hi, how do I know which repository an installed package is coming from ? | 07:06 |
| prince_jammys | sobersabre: apt-cache madison PackageName | 07:07 |
| * gtoy thinks his engrish is good | 07:07 | |
| n1lqj | AAA: 10:1 bad secotr on HDD | 07:07 |
| Shapeshiftr | is this required, because it never seems to work for me... -- | 07:07 |
| bullgard | What is a "rate-type attribute"? man smartctl: "Each Attribute also has a "Worst" value shown under the heading "WORST". This is the smallest (closest to failure) value that the disk has recorded at any time during its lifetime when SMART was enabled. [Note however that some vendors firmware may actually increase the "Worst" value for some "rate-type" Attributes.]" | 07:07 |
| Shapeshiftr | echo server1.example.com > /etc/hostname | 07:07 |
| Shapeshiftr | /etc/init.d/hostname restart | 07:07 |
| n1lqj | makes no sense otherwise | 07:07 |
| electrofreak | n1lqj: don;t take it personally, hehe | 07:08 |
| salil_ | Why does mount.ntfs keep running and accessing disks randomly? | 07:08 |
| sobersabre | prince_jammys: madison ?! | 07:08 |
| * gtoy wonders if someone noticed his question.. | 07:08 | |
| sobersabre | wtf :) | 07:08 |
| prince_jammys | sobersabre: someone's daughter, maybe. ''man apt-cache'' may say. | 07:08 |
| n1lqj | electrofreak, you could remove cpu memory and cards reseat everything too include cables before you give up also | 07:08 |
| AAA | n1lqj it ain't your fault the user gives up, signs off. bad sector sounds plausible, but why didn't he find it in the logs? I think it is in the mbr or grub stuff, which would imply 'nefarious' activity before the system finally b0rkeded | 07:09 |
| Shapeshiftr | ah, found a decent tutorial | 07:09 |
| prince_jammys | sobersabre: but you won't forget it now :) | 07:09 |
| electrofreak | n1lqj: hehe | 07:09 |
| electrofreak | wait, bad sector, what? | 07:09 |
| sobersabre | prince_jammys: indeed. why madison ? | 07:09 |
| greezmunkey | electrofreak: you had 'em pullin' their hair out :) | 07:09 |
| AAA | electrofreak well, that would explain everything. but I don't think you could have overlooked that in the logs | 07:10 |
| n1lqj | bad sector on HD :( would explain alot | 07:10 |
| sobersabre | ooh ok. got it. | 07:10 |
| prince_jammys | sobersabre: i have no idea. the manual might reveal why. | 07:10 |
| electrofreak | AAA oh, boot sector? | 07:10 |

| shiftingcontrol | how to find your laptop has bluetooth ? | 07:10 |
| {g} | Flannel: apt-get purge smbclient | 07:10 |
| {g} | The following packages will be REMOVED: smbclient* ubuntu-desktop* | 07:10 |
| electrofreak | I'll try it.... right now just gettin mah filez | 07:10 |
| n1lqj | boot sector launches kernel, so it's not boot sector | 07:10 |
| {g} | Flannel: that doesnt sound too good. | 07:10 |
| Flannel | {g}: That's expected, and nothing to be alarmed about | 07:11 |
| AAA | electrofreak n1lqj right. the sector your /sbin happens to live on | 07:11 |
| electrofreak | AAA and /bin? | 07:11 |
| {g} | Flannel: "ubuntu-desktop" sounds like the whole desktop :) | 07:11 |
| AAA | electrofreak n1lqj but those usually SCREAM errors in dmesg/syslog | 07:11 |
| Flannel | {g}: It's justa metapackage | 07:11 |
| n1lqj | thats why I said rename /sbin and cp the cdrom sbin to hdd | 07:11 |
| n1lqj | you'll get a new sector | 07:12 |
| xorwhy | {g}: you can remove a LOT of stuff without removing the meta package | 07:12 |
| greezmunkey | n1lqj: you can do that? Really? | 07:12 |
| prince_jammys | Valkyrie: random screenshots are off-topic, especially when they're not even of this distro. | 07:12 |
| AAA | electrofreak quite possible. I don't suppose your drive is physically hot, or extra noisey is it? | 07:12 |
| greezmunkey | n1lqj: checking / comparing now... | 07:12 |
| aretrfre34 | ubuntu games server? | 07:12 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Shapeshiftr, that command works if your changing the hostname I think you should explore the functions/components of a webserver i.e. dns, hostname, domain etc before you dwell too much into setting up your system because if you put it online you'll need to understand security issues with that. This is a nice place everyone should start at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/index.html | 07:12 |
| Traveler1 | what is all the junk to install ubuntu like swap and ext4 | 07:12 |
| Traveler1 | cuz i need a dual boot | 07:13 |
| Shapeshiftr | http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/how-to-setup-a-dedicated-web-server-for-free/ | 07:13 |
| electrofreak | AAA, no | 07:13 |
| Shapeshiftr | I'm using thing currently, it's fairly simple, but I'll look at the ubuntu one too | 07:13 |
| {g} | Flannel, xorwhy: sure that when i deinstall the metapackage and then run apt-get autoremove that it wont delete all the other stuff that was installed via the metapackage? | 07:13 |
| Flannel | {g}: Correct | 07:13 |
| prince_jammys | !dualboot | Traveler1 | 07:13 |
| ubottu | Traveler1: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 07:13 |
| {g} | Flannel: correct what? that i can never again run autoremove again? | 07:14 |
| Shapeshiftr | *this | 07:14 |
| greezmunkey | n1lqj: heh, I guess so. I did not know that! | 07:14 |
| n1lqj | greezmunkey checking what? | 07:14 |
| AAA | electrofreak n1lqj my opinion is it is grub and/or failing disk. electrofreak has ruled out failing disk | 07:14 |
| greezmunkey | n1lqj: simply replacing a corrupt /sbin from the install cd! | 07:14 |
| Flannel | {g}: That it won't remove everything | 07:14 |
| electrofreak | AAA, I don't think grub is the problem.... because I can't run /bin/bash from a chroot | 07:15 |
| {g} | Flannel: let me try. | 07:15 |
| AAA | electrofreak that could be of the way your jail is set up too | 07:15 |
| n1lqj | greezmunkey, you need to move with mv command corrupt folder to a new name and then cp the replacement to get a new sector. mv keeps the corrupt stuff on same sector so new stuff has to have a new sector | 07:15 |
| Dr_Willis | {g}: thats how metapackages work. they 'depend' on othe files.. and that all they do.. removing one of the files they depend on also removes the metapackage.. but not the other dependencies | 07:15 |
| Dr_Willis | {g}: its a bit of a hack in ways.. but it works decently well | 07:16 |
| greezmunkey | n1lqj: yeah, that makes sense, thanks! | 07:16 |
| {g} | Flannel: ok. purged smbclient and then did autoremove. autoremove did not do anything. uff :) | 07:16 |
| {g} | Dr_Willis: ok | 07:16 |
| shiftingcontrol | how to find your laptop has bluetooth ? | 07:16 |
| shiftingcontrol | system->prefernce->bluetoooth i don't bluetooth adapters | 07:17 |
| Dr_Willis | shiftingcontrol: ubuntu auto-runs/shows a bluetooth icon on my machines that have bluetooth here shiftingcontrol | 07:17 |
| shiftingcontrol | ? | 07:17 |
| Dr_Willis | shiftingcontrol: sounds like yours dosent have one then. | 07:17 |
| n1lqj | electrofreak: You calling it? Time of death 12546363? | 07:17 |
| greezmunkey | Dr_Willis: wouldn't lshw show that as well? | 07:17 |
| electrofreak | shiftingcontrol: try lspci, see if anything that looks like a bleutooth adapter shows up | 07:17 |
| Dr_Willis | greezmunkey: proberly, or lsusb | 07:17 |
| hmw | Where can I find out, what a normal ls -l is displaying (i want to learn about each column printed). I tried man info and google. | 07:17 |
| AAA | electrofreak n1lqj well you still have a few things left to try. a) reboot with -D fs b) mv /sbin && cp /cd/sbin c) rerun grub d) drink booze | 07:17 |
| shiftingcontrol | Dr_Willis :i had transferred pics using bluetooth in 9.10 and is lspci an cms ? | 07:18 |
| electrofreak | AAA, I like the d option | 07:18 |
| Dr_Willis | lsusb | grep -e tooth | 07:18 |

| hmw | bullgard not funny | 07:18 |
| n1lqj | Thats how I descrbed php to someone. its a mixture of c, basic, rum and coke | 07:18 |
| Pirate_Hunter | I am not using ubuntu desktop got my own custom install at the moment mount can only be made by root (not sure which group allows mounting of devices) however, I would like to know how the desktop environment allows normal users to mount devices without root permission, is there an application that does it or is it just a script that adds users to the necessary group(s), if so which ae the group(s)? | 07:18 |
| electrofreak | n1lqj: haha | 07:19 |
| Dr_Willis | shiftingcontrol: then you stated the question wrongly... you asked how to find 'if your laptop has bluetooth' is how i read it. | 07:19 |
| bullgard | hmw: Not funny but a correct answer. | 07:19 |
| Dr_Willis | shiftingcontrol: see if its seen via the command --> lsusb | grep -e tooth | 07:19 |
| hmw | bullgard: -l use a long listing format | 07:19 |
| n1lqj | Pirate_Hunter it's in hot plug in the kernel | 07:19 |

[Note however that some vendors firmware may actually increase the "Worst" value for some "rate-type" Attributes.]" | 07:20 |

| ezra-s | It keeps freezing on me now, I dont know why | 07:22 |
| shiftingcontrol | PlutoIsaPlanet:using chmod | 07:22 |

| qweqwe | I am trying to create a launcher , i need java to open some file what i should write in the path of command to do so ? | 07:22 |
| Dr_Willis | shiftingcontrol: is this a built in Bluetooth adaptor? If so you may want to boot an older ubuntu live cd. that it did work in. and see what modules are gettting loaded for it. and other info on it. and try loading the modules by hand on 10.04, and check the forums for the exact kind of adaptor | 07:22 |
| ezra-s | I had to disable wireless and connect through ethernet to avoi ubuntu freezing | 07:22 |

| ubottu | PlutoISaPlanet: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 07:22 |
| n1lqj | can add device to /etc/fstab by uuid | 07:22 |
| n1lqj | you can mount to your home folder w/o root | 07:23 |
| hmw | prince_jammys: it explains some dozen of permission bits, but I cant see explanation for the the other columns... am i blind?? | 07:24 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | thank you all | 07:24 |
| prince_jammys | hmw: you may not be. i admit i just checked on a non-ubuntu linux. | 07:24 |
| greezmunkey | bullgard: you have that figured yet? | 07:24 |
| shiftingcontrol | Dr_Willis:i think so it is in built adaptor because i din't install any package in 9.10 for it,got any idea about modules | 07:24 |

| pres | Sinister: you mean without you opening it? | 07:25 |
| bullgard | greezmunkey: No, I do not know the answer yet. | 07:26 |
| hmw | prince_jammys: bullgard: thank you. I was blind - details of the columns after the permissions are explained before the permissions in the info page under -l (in the very first paragraph). Well hidden! | 07:26 |
| Sinister | yeah | 07:26 |
| n1lqj | mouse: boot previous kernel and run grub update | 07:26 |
| pres | Sinister: is it opening in Nautilus? Is the folder located in /home | 07:26 |
| Sinister | like if it keeps mounting my dvd drive or something | 07:26 |
| pres | ? | 07:26 |
| n1lqj | or grub install I don't know the commands w/o looking it all up | 07:26 |
| Sinister | no its the media folder | 07:27 |
| bullgard | hmw: Glad you made it. -- Enjoy Ubuntu! | 07:27 |
| pres | Sinister: wierd! | 07:27 |
| mouse | n1lqj, What if it won't even bring up the kernel list? | 07:27 |
| n1lqj | Sinister, log out and back in | 07:27 |
| pres | Sinister: you mean /media | 07:27 |
| pres | ? | 07:27 |
| n1lqj | escape at boot | 07:27 |
| greezmunkey | bullgard: From what I read, what you are describing is simply the data that smart stores on disk to indicate various status for use by monitoring programs. | 07:27 |
| Sinister | yeah | 07:27 |
| Sinister | /media | 07:28 |
| pres | Sinister: that's too weird?!? | 07:28 |
| Sinister | i think maybe my usb hard drive is dying | 07:28 |
| n1lqj | Sinister, and if you log out and back in? | 07:28 |
| amnesia | i cant figure out how to make dialup work | 07:28 |
| Sinister | it still does it | 07:28 |
| pres | Sinister: perhaps a faulty usb connection? | 07:28 |
| prince_jammys | hmw: cool. i was in the midst of ineptly pastebinning the info file | 07:29 |
| Sinister | in gnome kde xfce | 07:29 |
| pres | Sinister: I've seen that before with faulty usb connections. | 07:29 |
| n1lqj | Sinister, that would do it if it is dying and coming back to life, aka a termal problem on the chip and it resets itself re-brining up media | 07:29 |
| mouse | Would it just be better to update the headers then update grub before rebooting? | 07:29 |
| hmw | prince_jammys: thank you anyways! I guess, I am already somewhat tired. Time for a break is near. Or more coffee... | 07:30 |
| n1lqj | or take a q-tip with alcohol and clean the usb connector on the drive and plug it in and out a few times on the pc | 07:30 |
| prince_jammys | hmw: bah, i'm not fond of info pages. | 07:30 |
| pres | prince_jammys: always coffee... | 07:30 |
| n1lqj | go back to NES days lol | 07:30 |
| n1lqj | blow on the connector | 07:30 |
| Sinister | i just closed the two folders and thre light came on the hard drive but didnt re open | 07:30 |
| Shapeshiftr | should I be able to just use IPkungfu? | 07:30 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | could someone tell me whether I should be using the open-source or the proprietary driver for an ATI X1650? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver | 07:30 |
| n1lqj | I tend to use proprietary when ever possible | 07:31 |
| amnesia | why | 07:31 |
| pres | n1lqj: why not? | 07:31 |
| zombie_ | derp | 07:31 |
| * airtonix smells troll | 07:31 | |
| n1lqj | Open source is reversed engineered | 07:31 |
| pres | Because proprietry know their own products better than a clan developing os drivers. | 07:31 |
| canolucas | does everything in the linux-next branch reach the mainline tree? or only some of its commits get merged? | 07:32 |
| bullgard | greezmunkey: "various status" is a rather broad term and does not make clear to me what attribute output of smartctl is "rate type" and what not. | 07:32 |
| drew212 | why do i get a boot disk failure, but when i use a disk to boot, i can still boot from the hard drive? | 07:32 |
| n1lqj | Ahteos open source is fine, they released their code to linux | 07:32 |
| amnesia | that's true | 07:32 |
| pres | drew212: what is telling you boot disc failure? | 07:33 |
| amnesia | u smell a troll over irc? | 07:33 |
| amnesia | u got some shrooms | 07:33 |
| n1lqj | After sitting in here a few hours tonight I feel like backing up my HDD | 07:33 |
| n1lqj | oye vey | 07:33 |
| airtonix | !ot | 07:33 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 07:33 |
| greezmunkey | bullgard: I don't even find that phrase in the man file I am looking at, what is the real issue here? Something you saw in palimpset? | 07:33 |
| pres | amnesia: there's trolls in all corners of the net, didn;t you know. When you're old enough and wise enough, you can smell them. | 07:34 |
| drew212 | pres: if i start my computer without a cd of 9.04 in the drive, i get a blank screen telling me, boot disk failure, if i pop the disk in, i can select boot from first hard disc, and it works.... | 07:34 |
| amnesia | gotcha | 07:34 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | I don't think fglrx drivers are available for my card (X1650) according to this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI | 07:34 |
| Cyber_Akuma-Lapt | *shrug* in my expirence propitery drivers and some software/plugins tend to perform better than the open source verions, problem is a lot of stuff is no longer supported with the propitery one | 07:34 |
| drew212 | pres: i used to get grub errors all the time =X, then they stopped, now this | 07:34 |
| amnesia | i'm just listening in | 07:34 |
| n1lqj | drew212, mbr is prob blank | 07:34 |
| pres | drew212: Corrupt grub config? | 07:34 |
| amnesia | with a few words here and there haha | 07:34 |
| n1lqj | or corrupt | 07:34 |
| n1lqj | drew212, its not a mac right? | 07:34 |
| amnesia | ubuntu has ltsp build in correct? | 07:35 |
| amnesia | built* | 07:35 |
| pres | drew212: what is ltsp? | 07:35 |
| drew212 | pres: how can i fix that? also, i cant use my 10.04 disc to boot, it goes right to booting from the disc, doesn't give me any options | 07:35 |
| drew212 | n1lqj: no its not a mac, home built =) | 07:35 |
| n1lqj | drew212, not a mac right? | 07:35 |
| pres | drew212: what iso did you leech for 10.04? | 07:35 |
| n1lqj | k. | 07:35 |
| zombie_ | fffffffffff | 07:35 |
| n1lqj | mac's boot differently | 07:35 |
| drew212 | pres: uhh, i forget | 07:35 |
| n1lqj | not from mbr | 07:35 |
| drew212 | pres: let me check | 07:35 |
| pres | drew212: ok | 07:36 |
| amnesia | linux terminal server | 07:36 |
| amnesia | boot rom pxe | 07:36 |
| amnesia | remote boot pc's | 07:36 |
| bullgard | greezmunkey: The real issue is that I cannot interpret the "Worst" attribute of palimpsest output (which corresponds to "WORST" attribute of smartctl output). | 07:36 |
| amnesia | via bootp or DHCP | 07:36 |
| n1lqj | cooked, off to bed all | 07:37 |
| pres | n1lqj: bye. | 07:37 |
| greezmunkey | bullgard: that is all manufacturer specific. They set the bar on those valuse. You would have to refer to their specs I'm afraid. | 07:37 |
| drew212 | pres: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download is where i downloaded it from | 07:37 |
| drew212 | pres: its the x86_64 bit | 07:37 |
| pres | drew212: when you first start the disc, you have to select the option to boot from hard disk first. | 07:38 |
| greezmunkey | bullgard: smart is pretty basic regarding the analitical information held on a particular drive. | 07:38 |
| === xxx is now known as Guest38763 | ||
| drew212 | pres: it didn't even give me the option, but i dont really care about that, i want my disc to boot without a CD =X | 07:39 |
| Guest38763 | i want to make a word file using john and using ">" to input it into a file, is there a way to limit the amount of bytes that the file becomes? | 07:39 |
| pres | I'd suggest you clean install. That will fix all your boot issues. | 07:39 |
| drew212 | eww... | 07:39 |
| prince_jammys | Guest38763: if the output is line based, you may use 'head' | 07:39 |
| pres | drew212: why so daunting? | 07:39 |
| drew212 | pres: i hate clean installs, i have to set everything back up, and it's never the way i had it... | 07:40 |
| prince_jammys | Guest38763: e.g. your_prog | head -n 2000 > yourfile # the first 2000 lines. | 07:40 |
| drew212 | pres: i suspect there is a larger issue, because i cannot boot my windows partition anymore, possibly one of my HDDs failing | 07:40 |
| Guest38763 | prince_jammys, cool ill check it out thanks | 07:40 |
| drew212 | pres: my computer has a montage of issues =P | 07:40 |
| mouse | Can you update grub on a hard disk using a live cd? | 07:40 |
| pres | pres: download the UBCD and do some hdd tests and then you'll know the health of your drive(s). | 07:41 |
| pres | drew212: | 07:41 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | how can i find out which video driver i'm currently using? | 07:41 |
| greezmunkey | bullgard: goes kind of like this: mfgr sets an arbitrary value for a catagory of info like reallocated sectors. normalized value may be 100, the threshold may be 5. as long as the actual value is below 5, the combination of settings will not trigger a warning. | 07:42 |
| wildbat | PlutoISaPlanet, lsmod? | 07:42 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, Are you talking about the Xserver driver or the Kernel Video driver? | 07:42 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | HermanDE_: I'm not sure | 07:42 |
| Jordan_U | drew212: Have you checked your drive's SMART diagnostics with System > Administration > Disk Utility? | 07:42 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, What are you trying to do? | 07:43 |
| pres | exit | 07:43 |
| drew212 | Jordan_U: i wouldn't know how to do that =X | 07:43 |
| drew212 | Jordan_U: it says both discs are healthy | 07:43 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | HermanDE_: get Boxee running... it's crashing. Just got my ATI X1650 running but now Boxee doesn't open | 07:43 |
| Guest38763 | prince_jammys, i just generated 200000 words in less then a second using those commands... i didn't know john was that fast | 07:44 |
| bullgard | greezmunkey: Still I wonder how a »worst value« can increase (with time? with what?) -- man smartctl: "Note however that some vendors firmware may actually increase the "Worst" value for some "rate-type" Attributes." | 07:44 |
| prince_jammys | Guest38763: cool. | 07:44 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, I'm not up on Boxee.... | 07:44 |
| arunkumar413 | hi,what is the linux equivalent of windows' .NET | 07:44 |
| drew212 | Jordan_U: it gives me a large error when i try to mount my 200gb hard disc, which contains my windows partition | 07:44 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, Do you have the proper ATI X-server driver installed? | 07:44 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, Or is that the original question? | 07:44 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | HermanDE_: Not sure, could you tell me how to check? | 07:45 |
| airtonix | arunkumar413, http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page | 07:45 |
| Jordan_U | arunkumar413: Mono is an implementation of C# and .NET for linux, what are you actually trying to do? | 07:45 |
| mediafool | hey | 07:45 |
| Shapeshiftr | do I really need a firewall? | 07:45 |
| bullgard | Shapeshiftr: No. | 07:45 |
| Shapeshiftr | my firewall isn't letting my access the webserver now | 07:45 |
| arunkumar413 | Jordan_U: i want to learn building applications | 07:46 |
| Traveler1 | do you tell ubuntu to fix the partition number of the drive or the drive in whole for MBR? | 07:46 |
| Shapeshiftr | that was kind of a rhetorical question. | 07:46 |
| Traveler1 | and what is MBR? | 07:46 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, Check yoru X log.... /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 07:46 |
| Shapeshiftr | bullgard, of course you need one | 07:46 |
| Dr_Willis | You do? | 07:46 |
| airtonix | Shapeshiftr, why ? | 07:46 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, See if there is an error before the crash.... | 07:46 |
| mediafool | hi and all that to all, im looking for someone that have tried windows based vst plugins succesfully in debian | 07:46 |
| Shapeshiftr | erm, security? | 07:46 |
| greezmunkey | bullgard: I think you have to take that for what it is. If a mfgr sets a "worst" value at 60, and your disk is approaching 60 - but the mfgr takes other bits of info in account in calculating that value, like overall lifetime, or time in service, and then allows that 60 to grow to 70, then there you are. It's all pretty subjective, and is a great excuse to sell replacement drives. Noodle on that. | 07:46 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, Or use this to see if the Xwindows driver is loading properly.... | 07:46 |
| bullgard | Shapeshiftr: Are you an evangelist? I know what I need. | 07:47 |
| === PhilippeD_ is now known as PhilippeD | ||
| Shapeshiftr | I mean, you can run a serer w/o it, just it would be really prone to viruses | 07:47 |
| Shapeshiftr | haha | 07:47 |
| airtonix | ... | 07:47 |
| Traveler1 | do you tell ubuntu to fix the partition number of the drive or the drive in whole for MBR? | 07:47 |
| Traveler1 | and what is MBR? | 07:47 |
| airtonix | Shapeshiftr, are you being cute or are you really not aware that no open ports means no incoming traffic ? | 07:47 |
| mediafool | ok guessing wrong place since ignored | 07:48 |
| Shapeshiftr | I opened ports...ah, crap, wow... | 07:48 |
| HermanDE_ | mediafool, What are VST plugins? | 07:48 |
| bullgard | greezmunkey: Ah! Now I got it. -- Sorry for bothering you so stubbornly. -- Thank you very much for your help. | 07:48 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | HermanDE_: there are some Nvidia errors, could it be that some old nvidia drivers are still on the system since I moved off the onboard video? | 07:48 |
| Shapeshiftr | that was...*facepalm* | 07:48 |
| HermanDE_ | mediafool, Perhaps a it is a Very Spechial Tool.... | 07:48 |
| greezmunkey | airtonix: he's just getting his server up for the first time. I pointed him at the NAG, he's trying. | 07:49 |
| Traveler1 | my system is not recognizing the realtek high def audio, only regular onboard | 07:49 |
| Nai-ux | hi, i installed a live ubuntu using usb-creator which seems to load from the flash drive, it drops me to (initramfs) prompt. i think a previous syslinux is interrupting it | 07:49 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, Sure... That could be part of the problem.... | 07:49 |
| mediafool | i mean vst plugins for example syntheithers commonly used in windows DAw's | 07:49 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | HermanDE_: (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module-specific error, 0) (EE) No drivers available. Fatal server error: no screens found | 07:49 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, check the logs for when the system fails.... | 07:49 |
| mediafool | plugin format | 07:49 |
| greezmunkey | bullgard: np man, I just made all of that up anyways :P | 07:49 |
| HermanDE_ | mediafool, Ok... Second question... What is a DAw? | 07:49 |
| arunkumar413 | Jordan_U: is mono available as .deb package | 07:49 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | HermanDE_: this same log? it's not timestamped... I'm just assuming the latest is at the bottom | 07:49 |
| drizzt_ | why was kde 3.5 removed from Ubuntu? | 07:49 |
| greezmunkey | bullgard: kidding :) | 07:50 |
| mediafool | short, digital audio workstation | 07:50 |
| mediafool | D.A.W =) | 07:50 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, You should see a series of logs... .0 is the current XSession... .1 is the one prior... .2 is before that one.... | 07:50 |
| HermanDE_ | mediafool, Why use plugins when there are synth drivers in Linux? | 07:50 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | HermanDE_: Ok... it's .0 I'm looking at | 07:51 |
| arunkumar413 | can i install .NET on linux | 07:51 |
| Shapeshiftr | airtonix, what does it mean by "...a list of TCP ports that have servers listening on them on THIS machine." | 07:51 |
| Shapeshiftr | ? | 07:51 |
| Zeike | Can somebody help me figure out why conky isn't working properly. the conky window get drawn with a black background & I can move it around by alt-clicking on it. | 07:51 |
| HermanDE_ | arunkumar413, Check out mono... | 07:51 |
| prince_jammys | arunkumar413: take a loot at 'mono'. | 07:51 |
| prince_jammys | *look | 07:51 |
| Dr_Willis | I perfer to run away from Mono. :) | 07:51 |
| airtonix | Shapeshiftr, it means that there is some software running in the background (ie apache) that is set to listen on a particular port for traffic and process it. | 07:51 |
| prince_jammys | i had it as a kid, i'm immune | 07:51 |
| HermanDE_ | Dr_Willis, Mono is a sign that you don't live in your moms basement.... | 07:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Zeike: check the conky homepage/faq You proberly have to set some specific settings for it to work properly. | 07:52 |
| mediafool | since it would be nice to use what ive always used but linux ones works good but im curious | 07:52 |
| Shapeshiftr | mm. | 07:52 |
| arunkumar413 | HermanDE_: i check the mono website,but the .deb package is not there in it | 07:52 |
| HermanDE_ | mediafool, Switching to Linux usually requires a switch of applications..... | 07:52 |
| Takyoji | So, I formatted an old Ubuntu partition, and have an issue with GRUB at boot, it falls to "grub rescue", whenever I try to type an specific commands to boot, it implies "unknown filesystem" | 07:52 |
| Shapeshiftr | ok, firewall seems to be working... | 07:52 |
| greezmunkey | Shapeshiftr: remember that netstat command? did you write it down? | 07:53 |
| HermanDE_ | arunkumar413, Ubuntu has it in the repository..... | 07:53 |
| Takyoji | It dual-boots both XP and Ubuntu 10.04 | 07:53 |
| Takyoji | It's GRUB2 | 07:53 |
| webroasters | i'm using the mail email@email.com command, and when I get to writin gthe email, i entered and then I put the dot in, and hit enter again, but it keeps going instead of ending the message!? | 07:53 |
| mediafool | there are linux apps that allow u to load vst plugins but im not sure if its windows ones or vst for linux | 07:53 |
| Shapeshiftr | no, I was trying to remember it, what was it again? | 07:53 |
| Shapeshiftr | sudo netstat | greb apache or something? | 07:53 |
| prince_jammys | webroasters: cntrl-d | 07:53 |
| webroasters | why wont it end the message and send it | 07:53 |
| Takyoji | XP as /dev/sda1, Ubuntu as /dev/sda6 | 07:53 |
| webroasters | oh ok 1 sec | 07:53 |
| mediafool | maybe can be done with win ice oh yeah | 07:53 |
| greezmunkey | Shapeshiftr: there are lots of ways to do this, but I like netstat -antp | grep "LISTEN" | 07:53 |
| HermanDE_ | webroasters, Big choice time.... Dr Google, Read the manual.... or press ctrl-D.... | 07:53 |
| Shapeshiftr | mm. | 07:53 |
| SpiKe_ | hello, i need some help with my wifi.. for some reason the switch on the laptop is set to ON, but nothing show's up in 'ifconfig' as wireless.. i only get local, and eth0.. | 07:53 |
| prince_jammys | webroasters: you have to send that to top reading from stdin | 07:54 |
| HermanDE_ | webroasters, As in "Done" | 07:54 |
| prince_jammys | *stop | 07:54 |
| arunkumar413 | HermanDE_: my net connection is very slow,thats why i want the .deb package so that i can ask my friend to download it | 07:54 |
| webroasters | right guys, thanks, i didn't know that | 07:54 |
| webroasters | i appreciate it | 07:54 |
| prince_jammys | welcome | 07:54 |
| mediafool | ah well thought i would check anyways | 07:54 |
| greezmunkey | Shapeshiftr: that shows pretty much your primary services, but check out the man page, and play with it. It's very useful. | 07:54 |
| Shapeshiftr | man = manual, i understand and like that | 07:54 |
| HermanDE_ | arunkumar413, Mono has too many dependencies... You may already have it installed.... | 07:54 |
| Shapeshiftr | :3 | 07:54 |
| HermanDE_ | arunkumar413, It is not a single deb.... More like about 2 dozen debs.... | 07:55 |
| mediafool | found list of channels hihi | 07:55 |
| HermanDE_ | arunkumar413, And could be plenty more.... | 07:55 |
| HermanDE_ | mediafool, Have you checked out the Media centered distros? | 07:55 |
| greezmunkey | Shapeshiftr: keep a notebook handy, keep track of what you do to your computer. It's a great help later if something goes wrong. | 07:55 |
| SpiKe_ | can anyone help ? | 07:55 |
| Zeike | Nothing on the conky website is helpful. I'm running compiz and can't get conky's background to be transparent, or stick the window. | 07:56 |
| Shapeshiftr | that's probably a good idea | 07:56 |
| HermanDE_ | SpiKe_, Nope.... | 07:56 |
| mediafool | yeah a little couldnt get it set up properly though | 07:56 |
| Jordan_U | Takyoji: Do you have any linux partition currently? | 07:56 |
| HermanDE_ | mediafool, Which distro? | 07:56 |
| SpiKe_ | why not? | 07:56 |
| airtonix | greezmunkey, Shapeshiftr, save this file [ http://pastebin.com/p72a1rLe ] as ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/Monitor-Open-Conncetions.sh | 07:56 |
| HermanDE_ | SpiKe_, Don't know what the problem is.... Kind of hard to guess.... | 07:56 |
| mediafool | hold have to check | 07:56 |
| Takyoji | Jordon_U: Yes, /dev/sda6 | 07:56 |
| arunkumar413 | HermanDE_: i may have to download 26 MB to install mono which takes about 2 or 3 horus | 07:56 |
| SpiKe_ | uh ok | 07:57 |
| mediafool | Linux media edition x64 something like that, ubuntu debian based | 07:57 |
| HermanDE_ | arunkumar413, Or you could have a friend burn a CD of the dependancies... make a list and let apt be your guide..... | 07:57 |
| greezmunkey | airtonix: nice, thanks. I'll do that. | 07:57 |
| Shapeshiftr | I didn't install gnome, I'm running pure text | 07:57 |
| Jordan_U | Takyoji: Then follow this guide to re-install grub2 from a LiveCD: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide | 07:57 |
| Shapeshiftr | what does it do? | 07:57 |
| Takyoji | Jordan_U: Do I just have to boot a LiveCD, mount /dev/sda6, chroot to where it's mounted, and run grub-update, or? | 07:57 |
| airtonix | greezmunkey, similar to the command you suggested but the readout makes more sense | 07:57 |
| Takyoji | Jordan_U: Alright, thanks. | 07:58 |
| greezmunkey | airtonix: yeah, I see. | 07:58 |
| airtonix | Shapeshiftr, then just save it as a bash script in ~/bin | 07:58 |
| HermanDE_ | SpiKe_, Do you have a problem? | 07:58 |
| arunkumar413 | HermanDE_: my friend does not have linux | 07:58 |
| Jordan_U | Takyoji: You're welcome. | 07:58 |
| airtonix | Shapeshiftr, and mark it executable : chmod +x ~/bin/Monitor-Open-Conncetions.sh | 07:58 |
| HermanDE_ | arunkumar413, His loss...... | 07:58 |

| HermanDE_ | arunkumar413, Find a different friend....:) | 07:59 |
| mediafool | ive been at google and looked already a couple of time couldnt find anyone touching on the subject really | 07:59 |
| Jordan_U | arunkumar413: You don't need mono to develop linux applications. You may want to learn python, in which case everything you need comes by default in Ubuntu. | 07:59 |
| SpiKe_ | "i need some help with my wifi.. for some reason the switch on the laptop is set to ON, but nothing show's up in 'ifconfig' as wireless.. i only get local, and eth0.." | 07:59 |
| gOLDfeesh | I'm having a little bit of trouble installing Ubuntu on my laptop.. I can't create new partitions.. | 07:59 |
| HermanDE_ | mediafool, VST sounds very Windows.... | 07:59 |
| airtonix | SpiKe_, checked jockey-gtk or jockey-txt yet ? | 07:59 |
| Nai-ux | how can i erase syslinux boot method off usb flashdrive it wont let me boot off it anymorea | 07:59 |
| HermanDE_ | SpiKe_, Are you running ubuntu? | 08:00 |
| mediafool | yeah i think it is steinberg vst atleast not sure about vsti though but im no pro | 08:00 |
| SpiKe_ | nope i havent checked and yes im running ubuntu on a laptop | 08:00 |
| airtonix | SpiKe_, then do that before you do anything else | 08:00 |
| Shapeshiftr | sick! | 08:00 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | HermanDE_: I'm convinced it's the nvidia drivers | 08:00 |
| greezmunkey | airtonix: I'll have to play with the geometry, but pretty cool! | 08:00 |

| ff88 | hi I've created a chroot using the BasicChroot tutorial. I'm having problems starting gnome because some system daemons are not started | 08:00 |
| SpiKe_ | uh i dont know how to check em.. is it a command in terminal airtonix ? | 08:01 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, Ok, ensure they are not loading.... | 08:01 |
| ff88 | how can I start these daemons like at startup? | 08:01 |
| drizzt_ | 1) why was kde 3.5 removed from Ubuntu? and 2) why Ubuntu puts USA constitution on my system without my knowledge? | 08:01 |
| arunkumar413 | Jordan_U: i'm also learning python. but want to try mono | 08:01 |
| Shapeshiftr | happy... | 08:01 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | HermanDE_: Could you walk me through that? | 08:01 |
| airtonix | SpiKe_, yes or you can goto : System > Administration > Hardware Drivers | 08:01 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, Craft a small xorg.conf | 08:01 |
| bullgard | How can I determine the rotational speed of my T43's fan? /proc/acpi/fan is empty. | 08:01 |

| mediafool | linux media center edition x64 and the apps in ubuntu and debian | 08:01 |
| Flannel | drizzt_: Kubuntu migrated to KDE4 | 08:01 |
| greezmunkey | airtonix: first time I've actally seen it. I can think of lots of stuff to do with it. Apprieciate the tip | 08:01 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | HermanDE_: create a file called xorg.conf? | 08:01 |
| greezmunkey | bullgard: can you hear it? | 08:02 |
| mediafool | been close but get dll error | 08:02 |
| bullgard | greezmunkey: Yes. | 08:02 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, Yes, xorg tried to make a good guess.... | 08:02 |
| greezmunkey | bullgard: that means it's working | 08:02 |
| Jordan_U | drizzt_: U.S. constitution? | 08:02 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, Can you pastbin your x log first.... | 08:02 |
| drizzt_ | Flannel, so they could leave KDE3 in repos? i cannot find it | 08:02 |
| mediafool | vst only loads with a single dll | 08:02 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | HermanDE_: sure. | 08:02 |
| mediafool | atleast the one i want | 08:02 |
| drizzt_ | Jordan_U, in /usr/share/state | 08:02 |
| Shapeshiftr | what's Quota? | 08:02 |
| Flannel | drizzt_: No, KDE3 isn't supported on the newer versions of Ubuntu | 08:02 |
| HermanDE_ | mediafool, dll.... eeewwwwww... Dynamically Linked Compressed Binary Library.... | 08:02 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | HermanDE_: could you tell me where to find it again | 08:03 |
| mediafool | yes hihi | 08:03 |

| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, Do you have a boxee log? | 08:03 |
| mediafool | but i guess ill find out soon enough | 08:04 |

| drizzt_ | I had it in Ubuntu 10.04 default install | 08:04 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, Do you have compviz turned off? | 08:04 |
| prince_jammys | drizzt_: apparently it's part of the package 'miscfiles' | 08:04 |
| coz_ | I havent attempted on this fresh install of lucid... however... is it now possible to install the official nvidia driver ? | 08:05 |
| mediafool | maybe can pick it a part in windows to fit in linux rather than trying to load directly in linux | 08:05 |
| SpiKe_ | @airtonix .. wierd, is says there are no drivers for it installed.. wierd.. it used to work before perfectly gine | 08:05 |
| SpiKe_ | fine * | 08:05 |
| Shapeshiftr | should I keep AppArmor? It sounds like it's more hurt than help... | 08:05 |

| Dr_Willis | Shapeshiftr: cant say that ive ever seen an issue with it. and ive only seen a few people in jhere ever have an issue with it. | 08:06 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, I hope some nice bugs eat me.... | 08:06 |

| mediafool | was there i found one before but ill take a closer look, thx and good bye | 08:07 |
| Takyoji | Jordan_U: Thank you again, worked as desired. | 08:07 |
| greezmunkey | Shapeshiftr: that's up to you. It doesn't bother me much on my desktop. I have a pppoe server at work though that I removed it from. It depends on what you are doing. | 08:07 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | HermanDE_: xorg paste: http://pastebin.com/tFVeGTie | 08:07 |
| Jordan_U | Takyoji: You're welcome. | 08:07 |
| Shapeshiftr | will it interfere with MySql or a mail server such as postfix? | 08:07 |
| greezmunkey | bullgard: man, I'm afraid I'm no help there. I don't have a need to worry about fan speeds here. | 08:08 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, The last line says it all "no screens found".... | 08:08 |
| Shapeshiftr | also, can you run multiple servers on a single domain? | 08:09 |
| greezmunkey | bullgard: I have run across a lot of info on the net though, but like I said...I didn't really pay too much attention, sorry. | 08:09 |
| bullgard | greezmunkey: Right. | 08:09 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | HermanDE_: my thoughts as well... what now? | 08:09 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, do you have a file called /etc/X11/xorg.conf? | 08:09 |
| Shapeshiftr | such as a mail server, a MySql server, an IRC server, a FTP server, etc. all on one name? | 08:09 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, rename it to xorg.conf.test-old | 08:09 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, Then try and start X.... | 08:09 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, Let Xorg figure it out.... | 08:10 |
| prince_jammys | Shapeshiftr: yes | 08:10 |
| drothli_w | Good morning, I am a bit confused as I have an empty fstab file, shouldn't there be some entries? | 08:10 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | HermanDE_: 2 things: 1) how do I rename? can it be done within the GUI? 2) start "X" ? | 08:10 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, is the GUI running? | 08:11 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | HermanDE_: yes | 08:11 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | HermanDE_: got it renamed | 08:13 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | HermanDE_: not sure how to "run X" | 08:13 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, That log that you posted doesn't have any screens.... | 08:13 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, So, nothing should be running.... Hmmmmm..... | 08:13 |
| Dr_Willis | drothli_w: im not even sure the system could boot properly with an emopty fstab. You sure its empty and you are just not doing some typos? | 08:13 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, You are running X if you have a GUI.... | 08:14 |
| unop | drothli_w, yes, you should have entries in it. How did you determine that there aren't any? | 08:14 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | HermanDE_: ok | 08:14 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, postbin the xorg.conf file | 08:14 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Dr_Willis, that is what I was thinking | 08:14 |
| vu1kan | does anybody know what 'bonobo-activation-server' does? | 08:14 |
| drothli_w | unop: cat /etc/fstab --> only a comment | 08:14 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, Might want to rename it back before something silly happens.... | 08:14 |
| Dr_Willis | vu1kan: not really. seen bonobo mentione4d befor.. one of those services/things i never looked into | 08:15 |
| Jordan_U | Dr_Willis: You can boot without an fstab because the root filesystem is mounted (using the root= from /proc/cmdline ) before the fstab can be read in the first place. | 08:15 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | HermanDE_: xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/svyPaynG | 08:15 |
| vu1kan | i'm just trying to make my install as efficient as possible, and that seems to be eating some ram | 08:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Jordan_U: i ment boot 'properly' as in getting a working 'normal desktop' type system. Theres so many support entries in the ubuntu fstab | 08:15 |
| Dr_Willis | BRB | 08:16 |
| vu1kan | suppose i'll make a thread in the forum for it | 08:16 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | HermanDE_: I spent the majority of my night trying to switch the video ubuntu was using from the onboard (nvidia) to my dedicated graphics card (ATI) | 08:16 |
| unop | Jordan_U, but surely you'd think a missing fstab is a bit out of the ordinary? plus the entry for a swap location would be wanting ... | 08:17 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, You do have a driver "nvidia" line... with the nvidia glx..... | 08:17 |

| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, You seem to be using Maverick.... Not 10.04 | 08:18 |

| Jordan_U | !info misc-files | drizzt_ | 08:19 |
| ubottu | drizzt_: Package misc-files does not exist in lucid | 08:19 |

| Polysics | HermanDE, as many as I need | 08:23 |
| Shapeshiftr | ok, it's working great so far. | 08:23 |
| Polysics | probably 10 or so | 08:23 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | HermanDE_: i'm currently connected through a browser, though I'm not unfamiliar with IRC... let me try to connect through the terminal first | 08:23 |
| Shapeshiftr | I think 3:20am is late enough to get some sleep. | 08:23 |

| drothli_w | Jordan_U: besides the one from grub none (you helped me there) | 08:23 |
| Polysics | HermanDE, we are talking one second level with a dozen third level :-) | 08:23 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, Probably a good thing... Resetting X can get ugly.... | 08:23 |
| drizzt_ | why would people create ubuntu spinoffs? is it because ubuntu too bueracratic to include their changes as metapackages or something? | 08:24 |
| HermanDE_ | Polysics, Easy... Are you doing web serving? or full services on each second level domain? | 08:24 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | HermanDE_: so X is just another name for the GUI? | 08:24 |
| HermanDE_ | drizzt_, make things easy for specific situations.... | 08:24 |
| oddalot | oh, this is already freenode server i see hehe | 08:25 |

| webroasters | seriously, it disappeared | 08:27 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | hermande_: what server are we on? | 08:27 |
| HermanDE_ | Polysics, You could use just about any webserver installed for virtual hosting... with a DNS wildcard as the second level.... | 08:28 |

| PlutoISaPlanet | HermanDE_: correct | 08:48 |
| gOLDfeesh | I've resized my Windows 7 partition with the LiveCD version of GParted to allocate 60gb i reboot and i get the black screen mentioning about check disk going to start and its stuck at 1 second | 08:48 |
| sobersabre | I want to change what is /usr/bin/ruby linked to. what's the "debian way" of doing so ? or shall I use rvm in stead ? | 08:49 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, You may have to remove all of the NVIDIA drivers.... And go with the Xorg nv driver.... | 08:49 |
| gOLDfeesh | I remembered to uncheck the round cylinders | 08:49 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | HermanDE_: ok | 08:49 |
| ^DEMOSS^ | omg | 08:49 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, the nvidia GLX is probably gumming up the works.... | 08:49 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, Does your bios have a setting for the built in video card.... | 08:50 |

| bazhang | ^DEMOSS^, please take this to #freenode | 08:50 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | HermanDE_: sort of | 08:50 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | HermanDE_: options are Auto or Onboard Card... from what I've read its best to leave it on Auto | 08:50 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, That's as good as it can get.... After remove all of the NVIDIA specific stuff.... Installing the ATI stuff... | 08:51 |
| drizzt_ | wait you cannot have 2 videocards in Ubuntu? | 08:52 |
| PlutoISaPlanet | HermanDE_: whatever works, long as Boxee does too ;) | 08:52 |

| guzu | how can i enable compiz on intel 845? | 08:52 |
| HermanDE_ | ^DEMOSS^, The internet should be faster than 360 seconds... I'd protest against the world internet owners.... | 08:52 |

| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, shut down xorg.... /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 08:53 |
| ^DEMOSS^ | i have the last problem - but i think i fix it more than one day, if i can't get help | 08:53 |

| ^DEMOSS^ | but i cant sea the shiting messege | 08:56 |
| Dr_Willis | PlutoISaPlanet: gdm in 10.04 is handled by upstart so you basically have to use the service command. | 08:56 |

| HermanDE_ | vu1kan, Got it.... | 09:03 |
| usf_ | a want just to keep only one | 09:03 |

| rww | hrm, not the most useful factoid in the world | 09:07 |
| HermanDE_ | rww, Only if one is still living by SYSV.... | 09:08 |

| HermanDE_ | rww, I like things that don't change..... | 09:10 |
| Dr_Willis | usf_: why are you even bothering? the answer is to rename the tty##.conf files as i mentioned earlier. | 09:10 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, Should have been root to start with.... | 09:10 |
| Dr_Willis | usf_: and that would be 'disabling the logins on teh consoles' not 'uistalling command line interface' | 09:10 |
| HermanDE_ | PlutoISaPlanet, "sudo aptitude".... | 09:10 |

| HermanDE_ | usf_, How would it enhance your OS? | 09:13 |
| Dr_Willis | usf_: You are using the word 'UNinstall' inproperly. and disabling the extra consoles will not enhance anything in any way that i can think of. | 09:13 |
| Dr_Willis | usf_: so im wondering why you are evening doing this whole song-and-dance | 09:14 |
| usf_ | HermanDE_>to become more fast | 09:14 |

| HermanDE_ | usf_, That will not add any speed.... | 09:14 |
| bazhang | usf_, that won't affect the speed | 09:14 |

| rising | is there any way to use webcam with msn here in uuntu? | 10:15 |
| trupheenix | erUSUL, huh? | 10:15 |
| Dr_Willis | trupheenix: your menus may have a few extra entries. but youi can install kubuntu-desktop and use kde or gnome from the GDM liogin screen.. yes. | 10:15 |
| wizard_2010 | thanks Dr | 10:15 |
| Dr_Willis | trupheenix: i do it all the time. | 10:15 |
| erUSUL | trupheenix: right; it should not create any problem. | 10:15 |
| bazhang | trupheenix, sure kubuntu-desktop package | 10:15 |
| trupheenix | thanks guys! Dr_Willis erUSUL bazhang | 10:15 |
| Dr_Willis | trupheenix: the biggest issue i see with all these extra 'Whatever-desktop' packages installed is often redundant/identically named menu items. | 10:15 |
| bazhang | trupheenix, you can add a ton more as well xubuntu-desktop lubuntu-desktop etc | 10:16 |
| Dr_Willis | trupheenix: Ive seen no good way to totally isolate kde from gnome from xfce, from lxde, and so on.. | 10:16 |
| rising | which is decent application to use webcam and msn? | 10:16 |
| Dr_Willis | trupheenix: install ALL of those and you do start getting some very loaded menu items | 10:16 |
| erUSUL | rising: amsn ? | 10:16 |
| Dr_Willis | I must have 5+ differnt terminal icons :) | 10:16 |
| rising | ok | 10:17 |
| rising | i will try it thanks :) | 10:17 |
| rising | and which one is for yahoo webcam wrusul? | 10:17 |
| trupheenix | bazhang, i was using debian lxde sid/squeeze till now | 10:17 |
| erUSUL | rising: for yahoo i do not know of any | 10:18 |
| rising | hmm ok thanks a lot erusul | 10:18 |
| Sjord | Dr_Willis: Can you supply me with the relevant option from the grub menu, to boot an ISO? | 10:18 |

| Guest85294 | I'm having difficulty partitioning. Can I just setup a new /dev/sdb and put Linux on that and leave windows on /dev/sda? | 10:21 |
| Flannel | Guest85294: Yes | 10:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest85294: you have 2 hard drives? | 10:22 |
| Guest85294 | no only one lol. | 10:22 |
| erUSUL | Guest85294: yes; you can have linux in its own hard disk | 10:22 |
| Guest85294 | My windows installation has a lot of partitions.. and thus when i try to install Linux it says " unusable | 10:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest85294: then you dont understand what sda and sdb mean then :) sda an sdb would be 2 differnt ahrd drives.. sda1 sda2 sda3 would be different partitions On a single hard drive | 10:22 |
| vu1kan | Guest85294 i would suggest the 'guided partitioning' option when installing ubuntu from cd | 10:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest85294: you may need to remove some partitions | 10:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest85294: linux can install to a logical partition. | 10:23 |

| hawk808 | so how would you boot from the slave change bios each time ? | 10:25 |
| gOLDfeesh | Seeee http://imagebin.ca/view/csmyoAjT.html | 10:26 |
| Dr_Willis | hawk808: clarify that statement a bit.. | 10:26 |
| icqn | can you help me with configuring my webcam on lenovo ideapad s10-3t? | 10:26 |
| erUSUL | hawk808: grub will be installed in the mbr of the boot disk; i see no problem | 10:26 |
| erUSUL | !webcam | 10:26 |

| === Walrus23 is now known as PoisonDart | ||
| Dr_Willis | gOLDfeesh: you can have 4 primary partitions MAX.. one of those can be a Extended partition that Holds Logical Partitions. You seem to have ALL primaries. thats the issue | 10:27 |
| locum | erUSUL, webcam problem anyone? | 10:27 |
| hawk808 | would you have to change boot priority in bios each time to boot from different hard drives | 10:27 |
| Dr_Willis | gOLDfeesh: you need to reorder/resize your partitions and make one of them into an extended/logical for linux to install to | 10:27 |
| gOLDfeesh | Dr_Willis, I'm trying to do that with the unallocated space | 10:28 |
| Dr_Willis | hawk808: my pc's have a bios entry to select what hd to boot by default. or a F key at boot time to let me pick what device to boot. | 10:28 |
| erUSUL | hawk808: no; grub will be installed in the boot disk and from that disk it can boot any OS in any hard disk | 10:28 |
| vu1kan | hawk808 i booted 8.04 from a slave drive for two years with no issue. you just have to make sure that the os you want is selected in grub | 10:28 |
| Dr_Willis | gOLDfeesh: you have 4 primary. YOU are at a dead end. You need to move that space into a primary and then resize. or convert a primary to a extgended if you want to isntall another os | 10:28 |
| PoisonDart | i lost the game | 10:29 |
| gOLDfeesh | Dr_Willis, I don't know how to do that lol. | 10:29 |
| Dr_Willis | gOLDfeesh: that 64424 - can not become a new partition. because iof the 4 primary limit | 10:29 |
| gOLDfeesh | PoisonDart, I lost the game ;-P | 10:29 |
| trupheenix | why does the installer take so long? earlier versions of ubuntu used to take 15 minutes to install | 10:29 |
| trupheenix | it's downloading so much stuff i don't want | 10:29 |
| bazhang | !ot > PoisonDart | 10:29 |
| ubottu | PoisonDart, please see my private message | 10:29 |
| hawk808 | each drive will want to boot so i guess bios interuption each time you want to change? | 10:30 |
| PoisonDart | sorry, i didnt mean to do that in here | 10:30 |
| Dr_Willis | gOLDfeesh: delete that little partition at the end.. and the installer should be able to partition the unalocatged space and install there | 10:30 |
| ubuntuLucid | Hello! | 10:30 |

| Dr_Willis | that 108mb partition is the 'hp_tools' partition? | 10:34 |
| PoisonDart | Dr_Willis i don't know how to do that | 10:34 |
| vu1kan | gOLDfeesh not at all, that partiton just contains tools hp uses for various diagnostic things | 10:34 |
| gOLDfeesh | ubuntuLucid, #amarok | 10:34 |
| ubuntuLucid | Dr_Willis: How to remove a reported bug from amarok? | 10:34 |

| Dr_Willis | stupidupdateingo: that phrase 'backport update' makes no sence.. where did this file come from exactly? | 10:53 |
| kleopson | vu1kan, my sistem is brand new, a laptop dell inspiron 1545 2,1 ghz 4 gb ram ati hd4330 | 10:53 |
| swop | kleopson: my / partition use 4,5G | 10:53 |
| vu1kan | kleopson that sounds like a heck of a problem... | 10:53 |
| stupidupdateingo | the tremoulus ftp servvers... in game when trying to register a user name, the game tells me to update the backport | 10:53 |
| Dr_Willis | stupidupdateingo: its possible its just some little file you copy to some proper location of an existing install of the game.. but that would be weird. | 10:53 |
| stupidupdateingo | thats what the winxp whow to's suggest | 10:54 |
| vu1kan | kleopson was it a fresh instal, or an upgrade? | 10:54 |
| kleopson | vu1kan, well it is because, as I said at random times it freezes and I can't do nothing, just shut it down from power button and restart it. | 10:54 |
| stupidupdateingo | but i can't copy/paste into it's directory | 10:54 |
| kleopson | vu1kan, fresh install | 10:54 |
| kleopson | vu1kan, checked dvd for errors, no errors were found. | 10:54 |
| stupidupdateingo | the "paste command isnt selectable | 10:54 |
| suresh | Hello chat room, how to count monthly bandwidth usage on ubuntu? | 10:54 |
| Dr_Willis | stupidupdateingo: perahsp you should uninstall the version you have if you installed from the repos.. and install the latest version from the tremulus homepage to your users home dir. | 10:54 |
| stupidupdateingo | hmm | 10:54 |
| Dr_Willis | stupidupdateingo: to put things in a system dir.. You need root rights.. | 10:55 |
| vu1kan | kleopson do you have a large number of processes running? | 10:55 |
| stupidupdateingo | yea i didnt think the repos would be out of date? | 10:55 |
| Dr_Willis | stupidupdateingo: so what directory does the docs say it needs to go to? | 10:55 |
| Dr_Willis | stupidupdateingo: ubuntu is always out of date. :) it gets updated every 6 mo... | 10:55 |
| kleopson | vu1kan, firefox, sometimes vlc...empathy...that's all | 10:55 |
| suresh | is there any special package or log where we can look for bandwidth usage? | 10:55 |
| Dr_Willis | so for about 1 day.. every 6 mo it may be the latest version.. but things just change too fast. | 10:55 |
| stupidupdateingo | i have /usr/games open now.. i'm not familiar with how ubuntu organises such things | 10:55 |
| kleopson | vu1kan, the system isn't loaded...i don't do a lot of things on it, just browse the web, listening radios with vlc and using empathy. | 10:55 |
| stupidupdateingo | xD | 10:55 |
| suresh | any help regarding this will be appreciated | 10:55 |
| stupidupdateingo | dr_ thats a good thing tho | 10:55 |
| Dr_Willis | stupidupdateingo: i would say just get the one from their homepage. Install it in your users home dir - Not system wide. | 10:56 |
| stupidupdateingo | kk | 10:56 |
| vu1kan | kleopson check your system monitor periodically, my guess would be something's taxing your resources | 10:56 |

| Pirate_Hunter | how do I go about figuring out the brand/name/type of DVD-Rom on this system? | 10:57 |
| |ns|nR8 | kleopson, does it lock up with n odisplay driver installed | 10:57 |
| kleopson | |ns|nR8, sorry I'm new, don't know what that is | 10:57 |
| kleopson | vu1kan, I don't think it;s a memory issue, my guess it has to do something with drivers | 10:58 |
| kleopson | vu1kan, 9.10 worked so fine...until I did a fresh install | 10:58 |
| vu1kan | Pirate_Hunter lshw does it for me | 10:58 |
| suresh | i thought that i will get any help here.. | 10:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Pirate_Hunter: you could t5ry the 'hardinfo' program also | 10:59 |
| Dr_Willis | and here i was answering suresh... | 10:59 |
| Dr_Willis | oh well.. | 10:59 |
| vu1kan | kleopson i was having the same issue with 8.04, it fixed itself after i re-installed...wish i knew more about the logging in 'nix there's gotta be some log somewhere that can help ya | 11:00 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Dr_Willis, will check | 11:00 |
| Dr_Willis | logs --> /var/log/XXXX normally | 11:00 |
| erUSUL | Pirate_Hunter: dmesg | grep -iE '(atapi|dvd)' | 11:00 |

| nomnex | I need to access my printer, when I connect to a usb the location is /dev/usblp0. Now the printer is connected to a wirless print server. What is the location? | 11:05 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: chmod +x whatever | 11:05 |
| bazhang | sillyubuntunoobn, you dont fill the channel with unnecessary noise | 11:05 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: chmode +x whatever | 11:05 |
| Dr_Willis | !permissions | sillyubuntunoobn | 11:06 |
| ubottu | sillyubuntunoobn: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 11:06 |
| nomnex | I only have the device URI from the preference: socket://192.168.11.2:9100 | 11:06 |
| Dr_Willis | nomnex: that sort of URI works for my wireless printer - it depends on the servers/servicves the printer is set up to handle | 11:06 |
| guzu | nomnex, and why is that not enough? | 11:06 |
| Dr_Willis | Mohero: check the cups web admin page http://localhost:631 and let it scan the network | 11:07 |
| nomnex | I have to modify the printer permission to use an app called mtink (ink level) | 11:07 |
| nomnex | Dr_Willis, so how can I find the printer on my system? | 11:07 |
| Dr_Willis | nomnex: its possible taht app might not work on a networked printer. just a local one.. My network printer has toner level info in its cups settings/info page/tabs | 11:08 |
| nomnex | Dr_Willis, I have a Canon, not very compatible on Linux. Local/remote, both do not work form me (toner level) that why I was trying mtink | 11:09 |
| nomnex | Dr_Willis, I guess, you are right about local printer, but I want to try anyway, where do I find my remote printer on the sytem? | 11:10 |
| dahok | odd sound issues... booted up today and sound was coming from both my speakers and headphones (standard jack). now if i plug in my headphones, sound is very muffled | 11:11 |
| dahok | tried different headphones, nothing changes in my hardware | 11:11 |
| ectospasm | I'm using Lucid, and I've got an issue where my desktop machine will block I/O and the hard drive light goes solid. Switching applications, or providing input to existing applications, pauses when this happens. I don't remember this happening with Karmic, and it seems related to the SATA HD controller (or its driver). iotop doesn't give any clues (but it's missing crucial data due to a certain | 11:11 |
| ectospasm | compile directive not being built in). Any ideas what may be causing this? | 11:11 |
| dahok | saw 2-3 recent topics on the forum. but none of them had any replies | 11:12 |
| Dr_Willis | nomnex: the cups web interface shows/scans all printers on my system | 11:15 |
| Dr_Willis | nomnex: ive no idea what 'device' you would alter to change permissiosn on a printer. | 11:15 |
| guzu | nomnex, btw, what printer and what driver? | 11:16 |
| Dr_Willis | nomnex: and i plan on never buying a canon printer for my Linux machines (or for any other machines) ever again. :) | 11:16 |
| nomnex | Dr_Willis, okay thank, so am I. I just know that when the printer is connected to the usb it is in /dev/usb/lp0 | 11:16 |
| Dr_Willis | nomnex: and now that its networked.. its as if it was a seperate computer ojn the network.. so i dont think you can just change some /dev/ entries for it | 11:17 |
| nomnex | guzu, Canon i6500, and the driver I use for the printer is one of the Canon default print driver, i9500. | 11:17 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | does /w do anything? | 11:17 |
| nomnex | Dr_Willis, it makes sens, dev/ will not show the printer | 11:18 |
| guzu | nomnex, i'll check the files installed by the driver | 11:18 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | sudo chmod -x tremulous-gpp1-installer.run /home chmod: cannot access `tremulous-gpp1-installer.run': No such file or directory?? | 11:18 |
| nomnex | guzu, wait a sec. I double check the print driver model | 11:19 |
| rww | sillyubuntunoobn: +x, not - | 11:19 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | xD | 11:19 |

| sillyubuntunoobn | same error, can't find file.. thought i was at the desktop ? | 11:20 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | no there was only one? | 11:20 |

| Dr_Willis | look again... | 11:20 |
| Dr_Willis | the gpp1 is a Update to the other installer 1.1 package | 11:21 |

| sillyubuntunoobn | ah | 11:24 |

| sillyubuntunoobn | notebook as in a laptop? | 11:29 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: and where did you install the game to? or are you meaning the .run you downloaded? | 11:29 |
| somebody_ | sillyubuntunoobn yep | 11:30 |

| Dr_Willis | when in doubt.. look :) | 11:30 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | i thought almost all pc's were linux compatable | 11:30 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | yes dr | 11:30 |

| wizard_2010 | Hello back again, can someone help me with getting play dj to play out of my laptop speakers? | 11:31 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: if the files are on the 'Desktop' then from a terminal do a 'cd ~/Desktop' to change the termial to that directory | 11:31 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | right, often fixed or addressed quickly | 11:31 |
| Dr_Willis | wizard_2010: wasent play dj an iphone app? | 11:31 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | permission denied, sudo cd isnt recognised | 11:31 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: i never said to do 'sudo' | 11:31 |
| wizard_2010 | no, touch dj was a iphone app | 11:32 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | yea, same vice versa | 11:32 |
| ff88 | hi I'm using XNest and having problems with the keyboard. When I press "up arrow" it takes it as "STAMP" | 11:32 |
| wizard_2010 | I downloaded this | 11:32 |
| Dr_Willis | cd ~/Desktop | 11:32 |
| Dr_Willis | ls | 11:32 |
| Dr_Willis | should show the files on the Desktop | 11:32 |
| wizard_2010 | just cant get it to play sound | 11:32 |
| === ff88 is now known as euthymos | ||
| Dr_Willis | wizard_2010: and play dj is a linux app from the repos? or where exactly? | 11:34 |
| wizard_2010 | yes from the software centre | 11:34 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | pp8@pp8-desktop:~$ cd ~/desktop ls bash: cd: /home/pp8/desktop: No such file or directory | 11:35 |
| wizard_2010 | this is what it looks like http://djplay.sourceforge.net/images/ss_large.jpg | 11:35 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: Linux IS case senecetive.. | 11:35 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: Desktop is not the same as desktop | 11:35 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | grrrr | 11:35 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | =/ again i forget that | 11:35 |
| wizard_2010 | I just cant get it to play sound dont no how to change card or what ive to do | 11:35 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: perhaps time to spend an hr learnign bash fundamentals? :) | 11:35 |
| cbo | hi all. problem with evince: F11 is binded to "open file" instead of "fullscreen". can i change it?. u10.04 nbr | 11:35 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: learn to use the TAB key to complete filenames/dir names :) saves time | 11:36 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: and you put 2 commands on one line... | 11:36 |
| Dr_Willis | cd ~/Desktop | 11:36 |
| Dr_Willis | ls | 11:36 |
| mouse | Whenever I install the linux header updates should I update grub too? | 11:37 |
| Dr_Willis | mouse: grub2 has always auto-updated for me here.. never had to manually do it | 11:37 |
| mouse | Dr_Willis, Linux headers updates have killed my linux partition many times. Am I the only one who goes through that or what? | 11:38 |
| Dr_Willis | mouse: ive never had linux header uipdates affect anything at all. | 11:38 |
| * Vroomfondle concurs | 11:39 | |
| Dr_Willis | No idea how installing a pacakge could 'kill a partition' | 11:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Unless the HD is going bad.. or you were being a little over-the-top :) | 11:39 |
| mouse | Dr_Willis, Sometimes when installing the updates it will ask me to reboot and when I do grub gives me an error and says there's no bootable os on the linux partition. | 11:40 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | i'm now restricted from accessing the file browser? | 11:41 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | nvm | 11:41 |
| Vroomfondle | that sounds like there's something up with grub, rather than with the headers | 11:41 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | it was already open | 11:41 |
| Vroomfondle | or with the linux image I guess... but that'd be weird | 11:41 |
| guzu | like mixing sda sdb and sdc | 11:41 |
| mouse | Vroomfondle, It only happens when I update the headers. I install every other update on the list so it must be them. | 11:41 |
| Vroomfondle | mouse: grub doesn't use the headers. | 11:42 |
| Vroomfondle | at all | 11:42 |
| mouse | It happened with my girlfriend too so I know it's not just me. | 11:42 |
| guzu | mouse, paste your grub.cfg | 11:42 |
| Vroomfondle | it's possible that your grub config is being messed up somehow by a post-install script or something | 11:42 |
| guzu | or the relevant part, anyway | 11:43 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: i just installed the game to my /home/username/tremulos directory. makes it easier to work with | 11:43 |
| mouse | guzu, I don't have it on this machine. It always seems easier to just reinstall the OS since I don't know how to fix that. | 11:43 |
| pmystique | # | 11:44 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | ugh | 11:44 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | i ran the command and it seemed successful...but there are no files in /home | 11:44 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: it would bne in /home/YOURUSERNAME/ | 11:44 |
| === switchgirl is now known as DarkNemisis | ||
| sillyubuntunoobn | it would be so much easier if i could just click on them and install like it was meant to be run | 11:44 |
| slow-motion | hi | 11:45 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: the patch does have a update.. | 11:45 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: it took me all of 2 min to install both the things... | 11:45 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | but all you had to do was click on them | 11:45 |
| Dr_Willis | the 2nd one has a gui config.. you can proberly just double clcik on it.. the first one is a terminal app | 11:45 |
| Dr_Willis | so the first one has to run in a terminal.. I think | 11:45 |
| Dr_Willis | i did not just click on them | 11:45 |
| Dr_Willis | i did a 'chmod +x whatever.run' then ran the first one.. then same to the 2nd one. | 11:46 |
| Sertse | can totem play CDs | 11:46 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | only reason i'm trying to run it in terminal is my file assocation is messed up, or package installers isnt installed correctly.. | 11:46 |
| vandy | cilacap | 11:46 |
| mouse | Can I boot from a live cd and update the grub on a hard drive so it would boot into the partition again if that happens again? | 11:46 |
| moza | Hi, i am installing ubuntu 10.4 with raid1 and lvm on it. I am at the question whether i want to boot my system if my RAID becomes degraded. I would like to have a warning and be able to use the recovery shell, but i don't mind having the possibility to boot additionally to that (could be useful) | 11:46 |
| === wildbat_laptop is now known as wildbat | ||
| guzu | mouse, what ubuntu version? | 11:46 |
| moza | What would you advise for this "boot degraded raid" option? | 11:47 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: the first one is a command line installer. it has to run in a terminal | 11:47 |
| mouse | 10.04 from 9.10 | 11:47 |
| wildbat | question~ can anyone know how to fix the lid button? it is not working correctly, when pressed the screen off for 0.5sec and back on, as well as when released. any clue? | 11:47 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: so where did you insstall the first one to exactly? what path did you give it? | 11:47 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | .../home | 11:48 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | i think that was bad... | 11:48 |
| guzu | mouse, sudo ls /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 11:48 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | now i'm having trouble accesing hd's and terminal | 11:48 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | ailed to change to directory '/home/pp8' (Permission denied) when opening terminal | 11:49 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: you did not want /home/ you wanted /home/YourUSername/tremolus or whatever... Your USER has no rights to access /home/ just /home/YourUsername | 11:49 |
| guzu | sillyubuntunoobn, you've previously run chmod -x /hmoe, remember? | 11:49 |
| guzu | sillyubuntunoobn, you've previously run chmod -x /home, remember? | 11:49 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | ugh | 11:50 |
| Dr_Willis | -x ing /home is not good... | 11:50 |
| malcom | AdminX, Hey | 11:50 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | noo | 11:50 |
| guzu | sillyubuntunoobn, in this case .-x meant no access :) | 11:50 |
| Dr_Willis | It pays to pay attention to what you are doing i guess.. :) | 11:50 |
| Dr_Willis | this is why i was suggesting installing the game as a 'user' that way the user couldent mess up the system. | 11:50 |
| guzu | sillyubuntunoobn, just chmod +x /home | 11:50 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | that was run with +x /home /home was never run -x... | 11:50 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | but just in case | 11:50 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | oh yea.. can't aces terminal | 11:51 |

| lee_ | 哟西 | 11:54 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | crap now i need to re-install it | 11:54 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | ?? | 11:54 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: alt-f2 and run 'xterm' to get a termional perhaps | 11:54 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: you ahve done so many typos and other things.. its hard for us to tell what the current state of your system is. | 11:55 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | ^^ | 11:55 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: and you definatly did NOT need to use a 'sudo' to chmod the .run file | 11:55 |
| AdminX | malcom this is a test | 11:55 |

| Dr_Willis | http://paste.ubuntu.com/452006/ | 11:56 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | i must have messed uup the install | 11:56 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: if your /home/ is not executable.. then You MUST fix that. 'sudo chmod +x /home' | 11:56 |

| Dr_Willis | someone want to test my little script? :) (well its not even a script) just a history output | 11:57 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | i think i used toshiba drivers on a nother laptop to fix that?? | 11:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Toshiba makes linux drivers? | 11:58 |
| Dr_Willis | a check of the forums for the exact brand/make/model laptop - may yeild some fix's | 11:59 |
| rek | asm/io.h Dr_Willis where can i find it | 11:59 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | i d/led them as drivers for a monitor, from synaptic.. for an lcd display i knew toshiba made | 11:59 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | dr's adive would be wise | 11:59 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | adivse | 11:59 |

| Optikn3rv | doing my nut in here, installed gpoint but still cant turn off pad tapping on this lappy, there is no tab for pad | 12:01 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | i can't get the commands to run to restore rights to /home.. i'm surprised i'm still here | 12:02 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | i guess my only option is a re-install | 12:02 |
| prince_jammys | sillyubuntunoobn: can you show output for '' ls -ld /home '' | 12:02 |
| jimcooncat | how would I go about moving /var/cache/apt-cacher to another partition? I'm running out of room on /, but I got plenty on my separate /home. | 12:02 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: You are thinking in windows terms... | 12:03 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | no? i don't have access to anything on the computer..terminal wont run permission denied | 12:03 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: your best option is to 'fix' the system | 12:03 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: you try alt-f2 and 'xterm' ? do you have any terminals open? | 12:03 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | yes, gnome-terminal was tried..same thing | 12:04 |
| * Dr_Willis wonders how you can not have at least 1 terminal open.. we have been giving uyou terminal commands for the last 2 hrs... | 12:04 | |
| Dr_Willis | not gnome-terminal.. 'xterm' | 12:04 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | right | 12:04 |
| prince_jammys | can't open the terminal because it cd's to his home. | 12:04 |
| Dr_Willis | prince_jammys: it should give an error and put him in / | 12:04 |
| prince_jammys | ah | 12:04 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | i closed the xtras and then was denied for the last one and it closed | 12:04 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: or 'alt-f2 and gksudo gnome-terminal' | 12:04 |
| Dr_Willis | that will open a root terminal... | 12:05 |
| prince_jammys | yeah, try that. | 12:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Your 2 mistakes you made with chmoding earlier. broke things... | 12:05 |
| AdminX | malcom what video card do you have | 12:05 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | yea.. | 12:06 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | i noticed in grub there are previous versions even after an update..would it be possible to boot that and just update to "fix" this | 12:07 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: those are KENREL versions.. not 'os versions' | 12:08 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | or will that further mess things up? | 12:08 |
| Dr_Willis | open that root terminal like i said earlier... | 12:08 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | ah cripes | 12:08 |
| tuckham | I just installed ubuntu and need help getting my logitech wireless keyboard to work | 12:08 |
| Dr_Willis | tuckham: bluetooth? or what kind of wireless? | 12:08 |
| tuckham | 2.4ghz | 12:08 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | dr_ if the terminal was open we'd would be solving this... | 12:09 |
| tuckham | the wireless mouse works with no problems | 12:09 |
| jimcooncat | ok, I found the directive to change the cache directory in apt-cacher.conf. Now I need to make a directory usable by user "www-data" apparently. mkdir ~/.apt-cacher then chown? | 12:09 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | the commands given did not open a terminal | 12:09 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | xterm is not an app on my computer | 12:09 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: so you are saying that 'alt-f2' and 'gksudo gnome-terminal' did not work? | 12:09 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | yes | 12:09 |
| tuckham | Dr Willis: the hot keys on the keyboard work, but not the letter keys or numbers | 12:09 |
| Dr_Willis | yes it dident work? or yes it did work? | 12:09 |
| Dr_Willis | it pays to be verbose and concise on irc. | 12:10 |
| prince_jammys | what about accessing a terminal through the menu? | 12:10 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | yes, those command did not work, nothing happend | 12:10 |
| prince_jammys | or just ctrl-alt-f2 and leave the GUI altogether | 12:10 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | i'm sorry i'm so stupid... | 12:10 |
| prince_jammys | (with a plan) | 12:10 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: it did pop up and ask for a root password? | 12:10 |
| gidna | Hi | 12:11 |
| Dr_Willis | actually the sudo password. | 12:11 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | no dr_ | 12:11 |
| gidna | I've just bought a USB wifi adaptor. How can I configure it? | 12:11 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: gksudo may not like the home being -x | 12:11 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | apparantly you -x /home and it locks down everything but what is currently open... | 12:11 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: lets see.. i just tried it :) | 12:12 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | even commands in term | 12:12 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | nooo | 12:12 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | noo | 12:12 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | dude | 12:12 |
| FloodBot1 | sillyubuntunoobn: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 12:12 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: i can still run xterm even with /home being -x | 12:12 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | =c | 12:12 |
| prince_jammys | sillyubuntunoobn: try ctrl-alt-f2 to get out of the gnome session, and see if you can log in to a tty and type the command you need. | 12:12 |
| Dr_Willis | gksudo dosent work however | 12:12 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | then something other then my chmodding made things fail? | 12:13 |
| prince_jammys | sillyubuntunoobn: (ctrl-alt-f7 to return) | 12:13 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: so ive no idea why 'alt-f1 gnome-terminal' is not working for you | 12:13 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | prince! that worked | 12:14 |
| prince_jammys | good | 12:14 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | xUx | 12:15 |
| prince_jammys | sillyubuntunoobn: you were able to change whatever permissions you had to change? | 12:15 |

| wizard_2010 | help with requires installation of untrusted packages when using software software centre please help | 12:15 |
| prince_jammys | sillyubuntunoobn: can you get an xterm now/ | 12:15 |
| prince_jammys | ? | 12:15 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | yes thats what makes me think it is corrected now | 12:15 |
| Dr_Willis | sudo chmod +x /home | 12:16 |
| Dr_Willis | sudo chmod +x /home/YOURUSERNAME (just in case) | 12:16 |
| Dr_Willis | so running 'gnome-terminal' now works? | 12:16 |
| noir_lord | what is the "correct" way to disable the nvidia binary driver and go back to the nouvea driver? | 12:16 |
| wizard_2010 | help with requires installation of untrusted packages when using software software centre please help | 12:17 |
| Dr_Willis | noir_lord: remove it? or use the disable option in the hardware-drivers program. I never wanted to go back... | 12:17 |
| prince_jammys | sillyubuntunoobn: i did this the first day i installed linux. | 12:17 |
| Dr_Willis | wizard_2010: what packages are you refering to? | 12:17 |
| noir_lord | Dr_Willis, I don't really use 3D stuff on most of my linux boxes and on this one the nouvea driver feels considerably more snappy than the binary driver | 12:17 |
| brontosaurusrex | how would one go around 'fix broken packages first' ? | 12:18 |
| Optikn3rv | hmm cant find xorg.conf and i need to set shmconfig true to get touchpad options running | 12:18 |
| wizard_2010 | flashplugin-installer nspluginwrapper | 12:18 |
| noir_lord | the lag in FF alone is irritating beyond belief | 12:18 |
| Dr_Willis | noir_lord: it basically dident work at all for me on my nvidia systems. | 12:18 |
| wizard_2010 | plus anyother package | 12:18 |
| Dr_Willis | noir_lord: no issues with the binary drivers at all here on my 4 nvidia machines. | 12:18 |
| Dr_Willis | wizard_2010: just try it from the command line? sudp apt-get install flashplugin-installer | 12:19 |
| Dr_Willis | !info flashplugin-installer | 12:19 |
| ubottu | flashplugin-installer (source: flashplugin-nonfree): Adobe Flash Player plugin installer. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 10.1.53.64ubuntu0.10.04.1 (lucid), package size 19 kB, installed size 184 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia) | 12:19 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | now i oh yea now to run dr_'s "script" hehe | 12:19 |
| noir_lord | on this machine (7600GT so oldish) it worked flawlessly, considerably better for 2D stuff than the binary driver | 12:19 |
| Dr_Willis | noir_lord: i got a 5500, and a 8800, and somthing in my laptop.. :) | 12:19 |
| Dr_Willis | I use twinview so much so im sticking with the binary driver for now. | 12:20 |
| noir_lord | shrugs, I looked into the issue a little, seems to be a common issue with FF and the nvidia binary drivers, annoying, the 3D accell is spot on but it falls down on basic (relatively) 2D acceleration | 12:21 |
| wizard_2010 | yes it does work at the command line but still gives the error i just hit yes and it installs | 12:21 |
| wizard_2010 | but I should be able to do it from the centre don't want to use the terminal all the time | 12:22 |
| wizard_2010 | cheer | 12:22 |
| wizard_2010 | cheers | 12:22 |

| * Dr_Willis wonders how wizard_2010 could have 'lost' the gpg keys to the multiverse repo... | 12:25 | |
| Dr_Willis | I also wonder why the Software Center dosent have some way to retrive the keys or ask about them | 12:25 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | word it worx dr_ i had to mkdir ~\downloads but then didnt use it | 12:26 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: ~/Downloads allready exists by default I recall... | 12:26 |
| Dr_Willis | case senesitive.. rember? | 12:26 |
| gidna | How can I configure a usb adaptor? | 12:27 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | xD | 12:27 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | i will try | 12:27 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | the more i forget the more reminders i have xD | 12:27 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | and yes downloads exists but not in the newly created tremoulus directory..it's not really needed | 12:28 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | since i already had the files d/led | 12:28 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: i put mine in /home/willis/Downloads - thats where Firefox saves things by default for me . | 12:29 |
| Dr_Willis | I thought that was the default for 10.04 or is it still default to use the silly 'Desktop' directory :) | 12:30 |
| gimmickless_ | Desktop is still default | 12:30 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | cool... i probably won't need it...but i want something to overclock my pc..is there any software available for linux/ubuntu | 12:30 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: its best to not even bother with overclocking | 12:31 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | i used setfsb and then rebooted to ubuntu, but thats not available to me and does not run in wine yet? | 12:31 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | yea i know, but i didnt install big fans and heatsinks for nothing | 12:32 |
| Dr_Willis | You proberly did... :) | 12:32 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | plus overclocking and boinc can be strenuous for the cpu/gpu | 12:32 |
| * gimmickless_ seconds Dr_Willis | 12:32 | |
| sillyubuntunoobn | lol | 12:32 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont find much need for overclocking these days.. and overclocking a system you want to be 'stable' is sort of counter productive. | 12:33 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | its ffaster just cause it runs cooler tho | 12:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Stick it in the freezer? :) | 12:33 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | ahahaha | 12:33 |
| gimmickless_ | diminishing returns. that's all I'm saying. | 12:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive seen MAJOR issues in some linux disrtos/tests/jobs./tasks with overclocking. | 12:33 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | yea theres a point to o/cing where is does become unstable.. but i've been o/cing this pc for years.. and know it's stable settings well | 12:33 |
| rek | don't find asm/io.h | 12:33 |
| Dr_Willis | similer issues with windows.. but windows crashes so much. you dont notice the added crashing | 12:33 |
| suprengr | sorry about all the recent join/leave/join flood earlier today folks... been setting up xchat-gnome on both home and netbook. Cheers | 12:34 |
| gimmickless_ | no worries supes | 12:34 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | yes, fortuneatly it lets me know what parts of the system cause the crashes | 12:34 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | ty super xD | 12:35 |
| Optikn3rv | right guys need help i cant find or edit xorg.com and need to set shmconfig true for my touchpad options to work | 12:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Optikn3rv: i think that setting may no longer be valid in the xorg.conf | 12:35 |
| Dr_Willis | !shmconfig | 12:35 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | ok i'ma stop stress everyone out and go chill in tremolus xD | 12:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Optikn3rv: with the changes to X/ubuntu/ i think it got moved somewhere else. | 12:35 |
| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: so you finally got it workiong? | 12:35 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | yes dr_ ty very much lets see if everything works and lets me register a name | 12:36 |
| Optikn3rv | cry i just installed gpoint but when i try to run touchpad get told to edit it for gsynaptics to work | 12:37 |

| ManDay | If its really THAT bad and nothing wont turn on moody I suggest you first reset the bios | 12:37 |
| panda_17 | Has someone installed ms office 2010 ? | 12:38 |
| moody | ManDay, by pulling the CMOS bat? | 12:38 |
| Optikn3rv | moody try unplugging the psu from the pc and then earth the pc to a radiator pipe or so then re plug psu in | 12:38 |
| ManDay | Or jumping accordingly - depends on your mobo | 12:38 |

| Dr_Willis | sillyubuntunoobn: register a name? i just set my name.. dident ahve to register anytying | 12:38 |
| ManDay | Try Optikn3rv suggestion first moody - | 12:38 |
| sebsebseb | panda_17: Open Office, KOffice, Abiword, and Gnumeric a spreadsheet app, all great alternatives. Also you can run that Office 2010 Web apps in Ubuntu. | 12:39 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | hitting the switch while it's on will discharge the ciruit | 12:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Optikn3rv: a lot of the old docs/programs are pointing people to the wrong places to enable shmconfig i recall.. | 12:39 |
| moody | ManDay, Optikn3rv, thanks for the suggestions... will try tonight. If these suggestions don't work, would you say its the power source or the mobo? | 12:39 |
| sillyubuntunoobn | while it's upplugged | 12:39 |
| ManDay | moody, thats impossible to determine from the info you gave | 12:39 |
| Optikn3rv | if the earthing dont work do a bios reset | 12:39 |
| ManDay | I'd say the mobo tho | 12:39 |

| sebsebseb | tdn: luckily Kubuntu does not use Pulseaudio by default, unlike Ubuntu since 8.04, and so yeah quite a few sound problems since 8.04. | 12:43 |

| Da_Wrecka | Hi. I've got an Acer Aspire One running UNE 10.04; I'm trying to find out what programs are responsible for automounting the media in the two SD readers, and then find out how to revise the mount options, so I can add the noatime and nodiratime options. My research seems to be pointing to udisks but I can't find ANYTHING on how to configure it, at all. | 12:46 |
| moody | Incarnation, yessir | 12:46 |
| Da_Wrecka | The manpages are totally unhelpful in this regard. Does anyone have any insight? | 12:46 |
| sebsebseb | panda_17: maybe so, but its a closed propritary file format, and so you can't quarrantee that in say 10 years from now, that you will be able to open it up still without problems, thats one reason why loads of goverment organisations for various counteries, are starting to use Open Document Format, and making it the standard in their offices even | 12:47 |

| Incarnation | That is why I opted for the.. WOW that's annoying. | 12:51 |
| sebsebseb | Incarnation: uhmm | 12:51 |
| sebsebseb | Incarnation: if the printer doesn't work on the host OS, maybe it won't with a virtual machine either | 12:52 |
| Incarnation | sebsebseb: that is why I opted for attempting to print via WinXP Guest | 12:52 |
| Incarnation | Maybe | 12:52 |
| sebsebseb | Incarnation: well depends, sometimes you can use a vm to get round hardware issues | 12:52 |
| sebsebseb | !cups | Incarnation | 12:52 |
| ubottu | Incarnation: 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 | 12:52 |
| sebsebseb | Incarnation: also your printer is USB yeah? | 12:53 |
| sebsebseb | Incarnation: Did you install the virtualbox-ose from the repo, or did you get the other version from their site/server ? | 12:53 |
| sebsebseb | Incarnation: The one in the Ubuntu repo does not have USB support | 12:53 |
| Incarnation | No it is connected via a Serial port | 12:54 |
| Incarnation | I installed virtualbox from the repository | 12:54 |
| sebsebseb | Incarnation: Which printer do you have? | 12:54 |
| sebsebseb | Incarnation: Old or new? How old? | 12:54 |
| sebsebseb | Incarnation: Anyway you can probably get it configured and working in Ubuntu. | 12:55 |
| Incarnation | It is an Epson Stylus Color 880 | 12:55 |
| Incarnation | Rather old! | 12:55 |
| Incarnation | But probably more functional than a pricey clunker I could buy today... | 12:55 |

| sebsebseb | Incarnation: Linux distros tend to have great hardware support, but they won't support all PC hardware, so yeah cups, and maybe the manufacture even has a Linux driver for it or something, but thats pretty unlikely I guess. | 12:56 |
| Dr_Willis | theres a lot of extra packages for printer drivers for cups in the repos. | 12:56 |
| sebsebseb | Dr_Willis: oh | 12:56 |
| sebsebseb | Dr_Willis: and yeah I thought that you could probably help Incarnation so go a head | 12:57 |
| Dr_Willis | i had to install somthing for my new printer.. but i THINK the gnome-cups config tool did that automatically for me. | 12:57 |
| Dr_Willis | so it was 'printer detected.. install stuff? Ok.. enter sudo password.... done.' | 12:57 |
| Incarnation | okay | 12:57 |
| Incarnation | I will have to sort this out later, I'm pressed for time | 12:57 |

| wiehan | Hi. Using 10.04 Netbook edition. Touch screen netbook with tablet (swivel) display. If I rotate my screen orientation (e.g. upside down) though, the touch screen calibration is "inversed"/completely wrong. Can this be fixed? This is quite an important feature which did work in 9.10. | 12:58 |
| black_knight | hello there i neeeeeeeeeed a real help with my ubuntu :D anyone can help | 12:59 |
| sebsebseb | !ask | black_knight | 12:59 |
| ubottu | black_knight: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 12:59 |
| Incarnation | BBL | 12:59 |
| sebsebseb | wiehan: Newer is not always better! | 13:00 |
| Dilip | hi | 13:00 |
| wiehan | sebsebseb: Well, yes, but 10.04 is really nice | 13:00 |
| wiehan | sebsebseb: and fast | 13:00 |
| sebsebseb | wiehan: 10.10 it seems will be quite a lot better, when it comes to the netbook version | 13:00 |
| colorlessprism | sebsebseb, i agree | 13:01 |
| sebsebseb | and it will probably suck really when it comes to the desktop version :D | 13:01 |
| colorlessprism | lol | 13:01 |
| wiehan | Mxit protocol on empathy in 10.04 does not connect, any one managed to get this working? | 13:01 |
| black_knight | :D ok now i did everything with my wireless ndiswrapper thing and it seems that it diiiiid wooork :D finally but the problem is the nxt time i did open my ubuntu when iam trying 2 get onnect to the wireless the whole thig freeze nothing works no caps lock no live in it so i have 2 reboot it ?? any ideas ?? | 13:01 |
| sebsebseb | colorlessprism: well from what I know about the future, I am thinking I might keep the other computer on 10.04 and not bother with 10.10, but its to early to know for sure yet. | 13:02 |
| Optikn3rv | right found a conf file 10-synaptic.conf but i cant seem to add a line with gedit? | 13:03 |
| Optikn3rv | any idea | 13:03 |
| vinicius_ | i just download updates on lucid and now the only thing that happens after login is to appear a terminal window (i just started xchat from command line there) | 13:03 |
| wiehan | Optikn3rv: think you need to gksudo gedit to edit those files | 13:03 |
| colorlessprism | sebsebseb, it is really early but i do enjoy the netbook version on my netbook. the wifes desktop will probably stay on lynx | 13:03 |
| vinicius_ | if i run another thing i cant alternate between tabs | 13:04 |
| vinicius_ | any help? | 13:04 |
| black_knight | hello | 13:04 |
| colorlessprism | sebsebseb, she needs an incredibly stable enviroment so when i do change her over, i have to to extensive testing | 13:04 |
| colorlessprism | vinicius_, what other thing? | 13:04 |
| vinicius_ | colorlessprism, firefox, nautilus | 13:05 |
| vinicius_ | colorlessprism, i'm pretty sure xorg server was updated | 13:05 |
| colorlessprism | vinicius_, can you change ttys CTRL+ALT+F2 | 13:06 |
| sebsebseb | colorlessprism: we are off topic, lets continue a bit in pm :) | 13:06 |
| vinicius_ | colorlessprism, and then? | 13:06 |
| Dilip | hey tell me how to use an irc to the best | 13:06 |
| LjL | Dilip: have you tried /quit? it's good. | 13:06 |
| colorlessprism | vinicius_, try and start another program perhaps switching ttys will work | 13:07 |
| Dilip | yah this is my first time | 13:07 |
| vinicius_ | colorlessprism, i can work fine in ttys, but nautilus doesn't start, menus, windows, desktop, etc. that's the problem | 13:08 |
| wiehan | mxit on empathy not working, anyone can help? | 13:08 |
| vinicius_ | colorlessprism, after login, i get a terminal at the left side, nothing else | 13:09 |
| colorlessprism | one application at a time i guess then | 13:10 |
| wiehan | vinicius_: typse startx | 13:10 |
| vinicius_ | wiehan, x is started, but window management system dont, i think that's the problem | 13:11 |
| wiehan | vinicius_: mmh.. Try to reconfigure X? It sounds serious, more like a gnome issue? Don't know.. | 13:13 |

| moody | ManDay, you still around? | 13:21 |
| ManDay | moody, yes | 13:21 |
| ManDay | Tried it? | 13:21 |
| moody | ManDay, no, i'm at work... i'm gonna try it tonight. but i was just looking back over what you guys recommended, and i'm not quite sure what you mean by "earthing" the pc... was hoping you could elaborate a bit. and i don't think i have a radiator pipe in my home... | 13:22 |
| phlak_user | hi | 13:22 |
| ManDay | connect the casing with the group of your power socket or whatever group you have | 13:23 |
| ManDay | moody | 13:23 |
| ManDay | what country are you based in? | 13:23 |
| moody | ManDay, US | 13:23 |
| ManDay | hm, dunno what your sockets look like but you too should have a ground. | 13:23 |
| ManDay | you can take anything that is a big conducting piece of metal | 13:24 |
| ManDay | but the ground of your power socket will always work - if you have nothing else | 13:24 |
| ManDay | after all, you can also leave your box untouched for a week and it will discharge on its own through the air which surrounds it | 13:24 |
| ManDay | usually, the case should be grounded over the PSU | 13:25 |
| phlak_user | ManDay: otr through your body when you touch it? | 13:25 |
| moody | ManDay, oh, in that case, it may already be earthed... i haven't touched it in about two weeks. ever since i had the problem, i've been using strictly my laptop | 13:25 |
| philipworrall | can someone help, when i boot up with the 10.04 cd in i get a purple screen with a man in a circle and an equals sign. ive not got to the grub menu yet. | 13:25 |
| ManDay | phlak_user, yes but you could also charge it even more if you are statically charged :P | 13:26 |
| ManDay | therefore metal is always the best choice | 13:26 |
| ManDay | moody, well then its unessesary | 13:26 |
| moody | ManDay, so I should just try resetting the BIOS? | 13:26 |
| ManDay | moody, thats the first thing I would do yes - do you have an alternative PSU at home? | 13:27 |
| zubin71 | hi im trying to burn the ubuntu iso using brasero; how could i make it bootable? | 13:27 |
| moody | ManDay, nope, i was gonna buy one if all else failed... i'm on a pretty limited budget right now :) | 13:27 |
| zubin71 | is it done by itself? | 13:27 |
| zubin71 | or do i have to opt for making it bootable? | 13:28 |
| yoyoned | !iso|zubin71 | 13:28 |
| ubottu | zubin71: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 13:28 |

| ManDay | moody, well if resetting the bios wont help it (which i assume it doesnt) i suggest you get a new PSU (or just borrow one to try it out) | 13:28 |
| moody | ManDay, ok, thanks again for the help :) will try your suggestions tonight | 13:29 |
| zubin71 | yoyoned, oh no. what i meant is id like to use the burned dvd bootable. do i have to just write it to the cd? | 13:29 |
| yoyoned | zubin71: yes. the image is already bootable | 13:29 |

| benjamin_ | Hi - Long story short, installed closed versions of ATI drivers for a radeon hd 2900 on 10.04 64bit. Rebooted, worked fine for a few... something must have changed as now for the life of me I can not get DRI going anymore with the closed drivers. glxinfo is showing LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT set. I've got all the correct libs loaded, no radeon stuff loaded, fglrx loaded in kernel, no errors (EE) in Xorg log file, get pretty insane frame | 15:23 |
| benjamin_ | rates. When running glxinfo as root (via sudo) it says I have DRI support, just not when I do it as myself. | 15:23 |
| Arpad2 | after setting display refresh rate to 85Hz monitor goes black, how can it work proprly? | 15:23 |
| bnave | sorry, I've followed the directions here: http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download but the netbook doesn't seem to recognize the usb thumb drive as being bootable. anyone have any ideas what i'm doing wrong? | 15:23 |
| ubuntu29 | thx guys:) | 15:23 |
| mdg | bnave: what kind of mac? | 15:23 |
| benjamin_ | checked the perms on the ati device, its 666, added myself to video group anyway but still no good in terms of it working. strace and ltrace of a glxinfo show no failures accessing any file's and opening any devices. | 15:23 |

How can I bypass this and atleast enter recovery mode? | 15:35 |
| Dr_Willis | bnave: perhaps check the linuxpendrive web site - they may have tools | 15:35 |

| Dr_Willis | Prabs: that has its own support channel | 16:04 |
| Disk1of5 | Dr_Willis, ah thnx... i dunno why they hide it.. it should just be added to /media | 16:05 |
| Prabs | is there any channel for backtrack | 16:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Disk1of5: because its for your user.. not everyione on the system.. for starters | 16:05 |
| Dr_Willis | !backtrack | Prabs | 16:06 |
| ubottu | Prabs: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information.

| fnerd | #ubuntu | 16:10 |
| ker-ubuntu | this is wht im facing | 16:10 |
| dns53 | ker-ubuntu i've never used ldap for login but i believe you first need an account in ldap, then you need a property for that user that flags the user to be able to login | 16:10 |
| dns53 | ker-ubuntu you also need to set up the login side to check against the directory | 16:11 |
| ker-ubuntu | im new to ubuntu as well as opensource | 16:11 |

| ubottu | danield: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 16:38 |
| IdleOne | !flash | zus | 16:39 |
| vu1kan | zus i'd get ubuntu-restricted-extras from the repos | 16:39 |
| ubottu | zus: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 16:39 |
| robert__ | Hi! I wonder if anyone could help me with a problem. I have have two screens, could move windows between the screens, but after installing nvidia accelerated graphics driver the two screens behaves like they are separate desktops and windows can't be moved between the screens anymore, can move the mouse though. Any tips? | 16:39 |
| dns53 | jakuplutzen create a script and put it under system > preferences > startup applications | 16:39 |
| danield | ok, one second heh :) | 16:39 |
| zus | vu1kan, thats it! i forgot about them... thanks | 16:39 |

| Daekdroom | Is there any way to make empathy mark me as away when the screensaver is on? | 16:40 |
| jakuplutzen | dns53: a bash script | 16:40 |
| dan1 | dns53: that didnt work, the accounts are still there =P | 16:40 |
| IdleOne | zus: basically you want to install flashplugin-installer | 16:40 |
| jakuplutzen | dns53: so it would be nice if there were some file where i could simply insert the path to the script, to make it run on boot. | 16:40 |
| dns53 | dan1 my google fu has failed me | 16:40 |
| dns53 | jakuplutzen on boot or on login? | 16:41 |
| dan1 | im gonna go locate empathy then just go deleting | 16:41 |
| jakuplutzen | dns53: yeah, login. | 16:41 |
| danield | I've installed ubuntu in windows so I had both windows xp linux. they were installed side by side. using LVPM I've resized several times. I've decide to transfer it to a new partition so I formatted a new partition into ext4. I've transferred it using LVPM, and when I restarted, it says "Error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS" whenever I try to start. What can I possibly do? | 16:41 |
| vu1kan | zus flashplugin-installer would just put flash in URE puts a bunch of other restricted media formats in | 16:41 |
| zus | IdleOne, is that from the software center under ubuntu restricted extras? | 16:41 |
| IdleOne | zus: yes from the software center | 16:42 |
| dns53 | jakuplutzen well there is no directory, but i think there are ways of adding services to gnome, i'm not sure how | 16:42 |
| frxstrem | what would be the best text editor (not full IDE) for editing PHP files in Ubuntu? | 16:42 |
| IdleOne | zus: you may beed to enable the partner repositories in System > Admin > Software Sources | 16:42 |
| jakuplutzen | dns53: ok. think i will keep searching. thanks for the help. | 16:43 |
| zus | IdleOne, thanks,.. | 16:44 |
| oCean_ | frxstrem: there is no such thing as "best" app for .. | 16:44 |

| vikashagrawal | i am also unable to run many command and options like dpkg-reconfigure gdm | 16:45 |
| vu1kan | frxstrem>i use SciTE, you can put a lexicon file into it and it will highlight syntax | 16:45 |
| jakuplutzen | dns53: just for the record, I think I found it. it's ~/.bash_profile | 16:46 |
| arunkumar413 | hello,can anyone help me how to install mono-devel.This package is not in the synaptic | 16:46 |
| DeliLah | any1 can u tell me what is icewm test??? | 16:46 |
| frxstrem | vu1kan: okay, I'll have a look at that | 16:46 |
| danield | If no one answers my question should I ask again or wait? | 16:46 |

| marekw2143 | hi all, when trying do chroot /my_system_mounted_dir from live cd (ubuntu ) I get: chroot: canot run command '/bin/bash': exec format erro | 16:47 |
| whirlwin | sd | 16:48 |
| whirlwin | sd | 16:48 |
| oCean_ | arunkumar413: there's mono-1.0-devel and mono-2.0-devel (those are the packagenames) | 16:48 |
| dns53 | marekw2143 do you have a 64 bit chroot inside a 32 bit os? | 16:48 |
| sheldon | is there any ppa for ffmpeg 0.6 for ubuntu lucid? | 16:48 |
| euthymos | hi, a rapid question... For some reason I accidentally killed the "Audio" settings icon under System > Preferences | 16:48 |
| marekw2143 | dns53: no, live cd is 32 bit, on hard drive is 64 | 16:48 |
| braxton | Do I need to download anything to program in openGL with C++ | 16:48 |
| braxton | ? | 16:49 |
| DeliLah | Dr_Willis : u there?? | 16:49 |
| euthymos | is there any way I can restore it? | 16:49 |
| euthymos | it is unavailable even using alacarte. I guess I've messed up with synaptics and removed the package! | 16:49 |
| dns53 | marekw2143 yes, you can't do it that way, the live cd must be 64 bit, if you have a 64 bit live cd you can chroot to a 64 or 32 bit chroot | 16:49 |
| zus | IdleOne, thanks,..its working now. | 16:49 |

| arunkumar413 | oCean_: it seems that i've installed the mono.but i cannot compile or run in the mono-develp IDE | 16:50 |
| marekw2143 | dns53: so chrooted system uses "base system" libraries? | 16:50 |
| robert__ | svenska? | 16:50 |

| vikashagrawal | i am also unable to run many command and options like dpkg-reconfigure gdm | 16:50 |
| Kentrel | I'm having errors when I'm booting, but I can't see them because the screen resolution seems to be only VGA or something so the error messages are missing. What log files can I check to find the same errors? | 16:51 |
| dns53 | marekw2143 yes | 16:51 |
| euthymos | oh solved... I killed it removing that crappy audio recorder | 16:51 |
| bazhang | robert__, in #ubuntu-se | 16:51 |
| oCean_ | arunkumar413: don't know about mono, but the packagenames are as I said | 16:51 |
| IdleOne | Guest65335: /join #ubuntu-br | 16:51 |
| marekw2143 | dns53: nice, thanks :) | 16:51 |
| IdleOne | o /join #ubuntu-pt | 16:51 |
| arunkumar413 | k | 16:51 |
| dns53 | marekw2143 i mean, inside the chroot you use the programs from inside the chroot | 16:51 |
| arunkumar413 | oCean_: is there is channel for mono on freenode | 16:51 |
| marekw2143 | dns53: yes | 16:51 |
| acu | I want to try firefox 3.7 daily - I want to use youtube new html5 features = no flash - is any working .deb or source for firefox daily ? | 16:51 |
| oCean_ | arunkumar413: there's ##mono, but very few users | 16:52 |
| marekw2143 | dns53: but the chrooted system doesn't use hardware directly, but uses "base" os libs? | 16:52 |
| Kentrel | well chrome already supports that if you want to try chrome | 16:52 |
| IdleOne | acu: www.youtube.com/html5 | 16:52 |
| oCean_ | arunkumar413: official channel no @freenode but @irc.gnome.org | 16:52 |
| oCean_ | *not | 16:52 |
| marekw2143 | how to check partition type? fdisk /dev/sda and then p prints only "Linux" , i would like to know whether is ext2 or sth eles | 16:53 |
| vikashagrawal | one problem in my laptom is free space it only 28 mb is the problem because of that | 16:54 |
| dns53 | marekw2143 sortof i think, i think the chroot provides a wrapper of glibc | 16:54 |
| danield | vu1kan: problem is that for me this problem is extremely important and urgent (at least for me). | 16:54 |
| oCean_ | marekw2143: use "mount" command - output shows specifics of mounted filesystems. Also check output of "blkid" | 16:56 |
| ojii | hi everyone | 16:56 |
| optikalmouse | anyone know how to get Nautilus to display a usbserial drive? | 16:56 |
| ojii | I added the US keyboard layout a while back, now I can't get rid of it. i can remove it from keyboard preferences as often as i want, after every restart it's back... how can i permanently get rid of it? | 16:56 |
| marekw2143 | oCean_: thx | 16:57 |
| vu1kan | danield i'm still pretty new at 'nix in general, when i accidentally removed the packages for gnome panel, my solution was to re-install the whole OS; i was just saying you might have some luck and catch a guru another time-if one doesn't show up today | 16:58 |
| Daekdroom | If you remove a package that comes with the system by default, install ubuntu-desktop and it'll automatically recover it | 16:58 |
| zus | i use kdenlive but the ppa's are for kde - will it be updates if i do not use the ppa's and just install from the sofwarecenter? | 16:58 |
| optikalmouse | or does anyone know how to mount a usbserial drive? | 16:59 |
| vu1kan | wish i knew that back when 8.04 was new | 16:59 |
| optikalmouse | I have my cell phone hooked up through a usbserial device and I have no idea where the info for it is. | 16:59 |
| dns53 | optikalmouse try and use wammu | 17:00 |
| danield | I'll try my luck again :) | 17:00 |

| redshirtlinux | Hello all I am running Wordpress on Ubuntu Server. I have NAT established via my pfsense appliance to forward port 80 to my WAN interface. However whenever I attempt to hit the domain name for my web server on my LAN I get thrown to the pfsense login page. If I hit my domain from the outside world, ie my computer at work, then I can visit my site by domain name and everything work. Any thoughts? | 17:03 |
| sebsebseb | redshirtlinux: Try #ubuntu-server | 17:04 |
| lana | hai all, am need to know how to make make menu Accesoriss1 on my menu on ubuntu | 17:04 |
| sebsebseb | saxin: Apparantly there is an issue | 17:05 |
| bazhang | lana, install from the package manager, not by extracting files | 17:05 |
| === cesar_ is now known as Guest38416 | ||
| dns53 | redshirtlinux i also have an annoying router, what i do is put the local ip address in your /etc/hosts file so it just goes directly to that server | 17:05 |

| sebsebseb | saxin: hold on | 17:06 |
| lana | bazhang please goin to #ubuntu-id | 17:06 |
| odb|fidel | so you'll be forced to fix grub afterwards most likely | 17:06 |
| lana | :) | 17:06 |
| lana | am need talk to you on thare | 17:06 |
| vu1kan | datz rightclick on a blank space in your panel, click "add to panel..." and select network monitor | 17:06 |
| marekw2143 | is running chrooted os faster that running vm? | 17:06 |
| dns53 | marekw2143 yes | 17:07 |
| datz | vu1kan: I guess the problem is that app is missing | 17:07 |
| lana | bazhang, am have installl nikto with the right way. | sudo apt-get install nikto and am have sucsses, but whare the tool ? | 17:07 |

| ociredeF | I got this issue... | 17:11 |
| lana | hallo ociredeF | 17:11 |
| HermanDE_ | ociredeF, What is the issue? | 17:11 |
| vu1kan | datz as far as your sound app goes, i bet you have both the indicator applet and the seperate volume control added...and if the notification are didn't put the net app in, get nm-applet from the repos | 17:11 |
| ociredeF | I bought a toshiba satellite A505 and installed ubuntu 10.04 64 bits on it | 17:11 |
| IdleOne | lana: you can read more about nikto by typing: man nikto in terminal | 17:11 |
| vu1kan | *area, not are | 17:12 |
| nitian | what is the unix command to check the hardware of a laptop? | 17:12 |
| ociredeF | and now I cannot get the wireless to work | 17:12 |
| lana | i will try master IdleOne | 17:12 |
| HermanDE_ | nitian, lspci.... /proc/cpuinfo /proc/meminfo | 17:12 |
| sebsebseb | saxin: that will show any errors, and then you can submit the output to launchpad on a bugrepor | 17:12 |
| sebsebseb | t | 17:12 |
| ociredeF | does anybody know how to get the wireless to work on a toshiba? | 17:12 |
| datz | vu1kan: ok.. I remember ubottu had some link to reset all apps? | 17:12 |
| IdleOne | lana: I am not a master :) just IdleOne will do | 17:12 |
| Sereph | any reason why ubuntu keeps resetting my /etc/resolv.conf | 17:13 |
| _pg_ | any avid nbr users here? | 17:13 |
| mbehlok | ociredeF, Try System/preferences/hardware drivers | 17:13 |
| nitian | HermanDE_: how to know which processor my pc is using? | 17:13 |
| LjL | Sereph: yes, it's the "resolvconf" deamon (and/or avahi). not sure how to stop it from doing that, but i think you can put your nameservers in /etc/dhcp/something instead. | 17:13 |
| datz | ubottu: search factoids app | 17:13 |
| ubottu | Found: | 17:13 |
| lana | but IdleOne can you tell to how to put that tool on main menu ? | 17:13 |
| datz | ubottu: search factoids app* | 17:13 |
| bazhang | datz, resetpanels? | 17:13 |
| lana | couse am need fast access | 17:13 |
| datz | bazhang: as I remember it was a longer string | 17:14 |
| vu1kan | datz "install ubuntu-desktop' is supposed to recover missing apps, not quite sure if that's the right syntax | 17:14 |
| optikalmouse | ok I can't figure which serial port my cell is on :/ | 17:14 |
| HermanDE_ | nitian, Unless you specifically did not load the standard ubuntu kernel... The OS is using both.... | 17:14 |
| bazhang | !resetpanels | datz | 17:14 |
| ubottu | datz: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 17:14 |
| datz | that's it bazhang thanks | 17:14 |
| nitian | HermanDE_: no. i meant the details of my processor, like intel and model etc etc | 17:14 |
| Sereph | LjL: what is avahi | 17:14 |
| IdleOne | lana: nikto is a command line application I believe | 17:15 |
| HermanDE_ | nitian, check out /proc/cpuinfo.... | 17:15 |
| HermanDE_ | nitian, "more /proc/cpuinfo" | 17:15 |
| ociredeF | mbehlok: what about that? | 17:15 |
| datz | bazhang, yep that did it | 17:16 |
| Prabs | i cant able to play videos and also i dont know how to see whether driver is activated or not can some one plz give a solution | 17:16 |
| LjL | Sereph: eh i don't even know exactly, it's a daemon that does something about networks. i removed all that stuff from my Ubuntu (avahi, resolvconf and Network Manager) because it all annoyed me. | 17:16 |
| ociredeF | I mean I go to hardware drivers and it indexes something and then doesn't prompt anything else | 17:16 |
| Sereph | LjL: It annoys me too | 17:16 |
| sebsebseb | saxin: right uhmm | 17:16 |
| ociredeF | how do I get the wireless to scan for connections? | 17:16 |

| sebsebseb | saxin: there is probably a bug report already or something for the 10.04 Gwibber Facebook not working, but maybe not | 17:22 |
| brobostigon | launchpad.net/gwibber | 17:22 |
| sebsebseb | brobostigon: saxin was also wondering if the ppa was stable enough to use, since I mentioned it | 17:23 |
| brobostigon | sebsebseb: it is yes,i think, but it does have bugs, and isnt as well tested, | 17:23 |
| === danield_ is now known as danielda | ||
| saxin | I see more people with the same problem at the launchpad.net/gwibber page | 17:24 |
| c3l | hi there, after running a python script with colorized characters, the color is stuck for the entire terminal even after the script has ended. how do i make it go back to default colors? | 17:24 |
| brobostigon | saxin: do you have a terminal window open? | 17:24 |
| fixxxerm1t | I'm setting up a new box. I can either have two HDDs mirrored for /, or 1 SSD for ?, and then 1 HDD for ?. recommendations? | 17:25 |

| lana | or am have install nikto | 17:25 |
| IdleOne | lana: I don't know how to do that | 17:25 |
| Dr_Willis | c3l: print the proper escape code to reset colors. or try the 'reset' command perhaps. | 17:25 |
| Dr_Willis | c3l: thats how it works in perl and bash basically | 17:25 |
| lana | thanks IdleOne | 17:25 |
| saxin | brobostigon, yes, launched it with gwibber-service -o -d | 17:25 |
| lana | any body can help me for put some application on my main menu | 17:26 |
| lana | such Accesoriss | 17:26 |
| brobostigon | saxin: you see the output from that, add that to the bug on launchpad, | 17:26 |
| mmomjian | lana: you can just drag the launcher up there I think | 17:26 |
| c3l | Dr_Willis: whats the proper escape code to reset colors? | 17:26 |
| Dr_Willis | Prabs: see wjhat the system -> admin -> hardware drivers tool says aboyt your drivers.. as for videos.. it depends on the video. Install the proper restricted extras and players and codecs packs for whatever video codecs you need. | 17:26 |
| lana | but the application not fund on launcher | 17:26 |
| Dr_Willis | c3l: no idea. | 17:26 |
| Gurkan | hello, when trying to install the game Beyond the Red Line i get the error "/home/user/.setup3268: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory", how do i workaround this? (1.2 is old, right) | 17:26 |
| Dr_Willis | c3l: but i know one exists. :) ive seen it used in bash and perl scriots | 17:27 |
| lana | can you tell to me how do it with step by step mmomjian | 17:27 |
| Dr_Willis | c3l: check out 'ansi escape codes' | 17:27 |
| mmomjian | lana: actually I don't think you can. The programs there are auto populated | 17:27 |
| c3l | Dr_Willis: hehe okay, thanks | 17:27 |
| mmomjian | you can create a drawer in the panel to add more programs | 17:27 |
| sebsebseb | brobostigon: so you think there will be an actsual fix for this in the stable 10.04? from the repos? | 17:28 |
| lana | mmomjian, can you tell me how do drag the launcher up for my application couse am have install nikto (sudo apt-get install nikto) | 17:28 |
| lana | mmomjian, but whare nikto place | 17:28 |
| ne7work | hello all, how can i install only gnome not ubuntu-desktop on my ubuntu 9.04 server? | 17:28 |
| brobostigon | sebsebseb: no idea, i dont use the standerfrom the repos. | 17:28 |
| mmomjian | lana: I don't think you can custom add applications to the menu | 17:28 |
| Dr_Willis | ne7work: fire up synaptic, search for gnome, install the parts you want. | 17:28 |
| sebsebseb | brobostigon: standerfrom ? | 17:28 |
| MoleMann | hey guys. my UNR wont boot up. its stuck on "checking battery state" please help | 17:29 |

| Sangeeth | Everyone... Please tell me a way to contribute to Ubuntu Kernel.... | 17:29 |
| lana | mmomjian, next what i do ? | 17:29 |
| mmomjian | Sangeeth: if you have to ask you can't | 17:29 |
| sebsebseb | brobostigon: yeah I know | 17:29 |
| Dr_Willis | ne7work: use apt-get or aptitude then | 17:29 |
| mmomjian | lana: see the button "new item" on the right? | 17:29 |
| Tetracomm | Hello. | 17:29 |
| Dr_Willis | ne7work: or install a basic X setup and synaptic, and some little window manager. and run the gui | 17:29 |
| Tetracomm | What is the best 3d cad program you have seen for linux? | 17:29 |
| ne7work | and what i type for gnome.. enviorment | 17:30 |
| lana | mmomjian, yes | 17:30 |
| mmomjian | Tetracomm: Blender hands down | 17:30 |
| lana | mmomjian, what next | 17:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Blender a 'cad' program? Huh? | 17:30 |
| mmomjian | lana: click that, browse to the program, put it where you want it, etc | 17:30 |
| mmomjian | Dr_Willis: I don't know of a better one | 17:30 |
| MoleMann | any work-around for the "checking battery state" problem? | 17:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Can Qcad do 3d yet? | 17:30 |
| Dr_Willis | mmomjian: thats not my definition of a 'Cad' program | 17:30 |
| mmomjian | Dr_Willis: ... I gave him the best one I knew of | 17:30 |
| danielda | I've installed Ubuntu in Windows XP so I had both Windows XP and Linux on the same computer. they were installed side by side. Using LVPM I've resized Ubuntu several times. I've decide to transfer it to a new partition so I formatted a new partition into ext4. I've transferred it using LVPM, and when I restarted, it says "Error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS"... | 17:30 |
| c3l | Dr_Willis: it seems to be tput sgr0, if you wanted to know = | 17:30 |
| Dr_Willis | but i use autocad at work to work on machine schematics and so forth. :) | 17:30 |
| danielda | ...whenever I try to start. What can I possibly do? | 17:30 |
| mmomjian | lots of people misuse the term CAD | 17:30 |
| Dr_Willis | c3l: i never do python. :) | 17:31 |
| Tetracomm | Blender isn't really a CAD program. | 17:31 |
| Dr_Willis | !info qcad | 17:31 |

| MoleMann | "checking battery state" i cant install 10.04 :( | 17:31 |
| Dr_Willis | Im not even suer of any other similer to Qcad. or if Qcad can do 3d. Not used it in ages | 17:31 |
| ggsgs | È«Ó¢ÎÄÃû°¡ | 17:31 |
| Sangeeth | mmomjian, Could explain me, what you told me... | 17:32 |
| c3l | Dr_Willis: tput sgr0 is the code to reset attributes, such as color bold etc, in bash. so it applies for you too ;) | 17:32 |
| mmomjian | Sangeeth: one doesn't _start_ contributing to the kernel | 17:32 |
| Dr_Willis | datz: common issue with flash. theres sites with several dozen work arounds/fix;s I saw the issue today on my machine. One 'fast and dirty fix' hold down the right mouse buttion as you left click on the PLAy button | 17:32 |
| frank | neverwinter | 17:32 |
| Cpt_Zyph | hay guys my first time going through this distro's install.. i selected the guided entire HD option.. but must of over looked if its making a swap partition and if so what size it is etc | 17:32 |
| moymoy | there's a tick with the 'mv' command that lets you rename a file without specifying the destination name completely.. went something `mv foo{.bak}` and it would move foo to foo.bak or something.Anyone know the actual invocation? i can't remember it | 17:32 |
| ggsgs | neverwinter | 17:32 |
| Cpt_Zyph | moymoy yep just type mv file name then new filename | 17:32 |
| bazhang | ggsgs, hi | 17:33 |
| datz | Dr_Willis: I'll try it, thanks | 17:33 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: it will make a SWAP and double the size of your RAM probably | 17:33 |
| netlarip | Are there linux phones? | 17:33 |
| ggsgs | ²¿³¤ºÃ | 17:33 |
| sebsebseb | netlarip: yes | 17:33 |
| Cpt_Zyph | sebsebseb but dosn't it tell me what size its going to make it? | 17:33 |
| mmomjian | netlarip: Android? | 17:33 |
| sebsebseb | netlarip: Android and such, but thats rather differnet from normal Linux distros | 17:33 |
| lana | mmomjian, but am have install nikto whare nikto please | 17:33 |
| netlarip | That are not android | 17:33 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: if you do manual install, you can control stuf like that yourself | 17:33 |
| lana | mmomjian, and what the exsecutioin file off nikto | 17:33 |
| moymoy | Cpt_Zyph: i don't want to type the new filename because it'll just be the same name with something new appended to it like moving foobar to foobar.backup | 17:33 |
| === ggsgs is now known as hehe | ||
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: guided install just well does it for you | 17:33 |
| mmomjian | lana: oh. sudo apt-get install nikto? | 17:33 |
| === hehe is now known as hehehe | ||
| mmomjian | netlarip: Android uses linux | 17:34 |
| lana | mmomjian, yes | 17:34 |
| netlarip | Yes true | 17:34 |
| mmomjian | lana: write that in a terminal - "sudo apt-get install nikto" | 17:34 |
| c3l | Dr_Willis: I was a bit wrong, thats the code for bash | 17:34 |
| bazhang | netlarip, do you have an Ubuntu support question? | 17:34 |
| lana | mmomjian, am have done it | 17:34 |
| Sangeeth | I went to the #ubuntu-kernel room... But, i coudn't find any one there!.. | 17:34 |
| datz | Dr_Willis: works, thanks | 17:34 |
| netlarip | Sorry no | 17:34 |
| mmomjian | lana: then press alt+f2 and type in nikto and press run | 17:34 |
| mmomjian | !ot | netlarip | 17:35 |
| ubottu | netlarip: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 17:35 |
| bazhang | netlarip, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please | 17:35 |
| Cpt_Zyph | moymoy i see so you want it to auto input like (2) if your moving files with one already at the distination | 17:35 |
| Kruptein | in which "format" should files in a ppa be? | 17:35 |
| mmomjian | Kruptein: .deb I _think_ | 17:35 |
| larard | Hi, I have a failing disk, and need to move my root partition asap. However I cannot work out how it is mounted. It is on /dev/mapper/ubuntu-root. I have 6 disks in the server. How can I map the mapper device to a disk? | 17:35 |
| Tetracomm | To this day Linux has the same software achilles heels where audio/video and CAD software is concerned, but that has improved, though. | 17:35 |
| Kruptein | mmomjian okay thanks | 17:35 |
| lana | mmomjian, nothing heppened | 17:35 |
| moymoy | Cpt_Zyph: i can probably just write an alias or shell function for this.. so nevermind. I think that's what i'm going to do | 17:36 |
| Cpt_Zyph | sebsebseh ya i figured that btu i though tit would atleast tell me what the size were going to be.. o well guess i'll find out not like it maybe and reinstall | 17:36 |
| mmomjian | Tetracomm: it has been improving yes | 17:36 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: uhmm | 17:36 |
| Cpt_Zyph | ya i think thats best way to do it moymoy | 17:36 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: you can re size the partitions yourself on the Live CD | 17:36 |
| sebsebseb | after install | 17:36 |
| lana | mmomjian, am have do alt +f2 and am put nikto than run, notting heppen | 17:36 |
| mmomjian | lana: can you go back to the terminal and type "man -k nikto" | 17:36 |
| Cpt_Zyph | sebsebseh just figured it would state like a % it would take for swap and leave the rest for a ext4 parititon or something to tell me prior to doing the entire install.. its installing the base system atm so . i'll just have to wait thought that was weird tho | 17:36 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: and partitions that aren't the Ubuntu partition, in the install | 17:37 |
| lana | mmomjian, lana@robot:~$ man -k nikto | 17:37 |
| lana | nikto (1) - web security scanner | 17:37 |

| dabossbv | bis später | 17:37 |
| mmomjian | lana: ok... now type "man nikto" it should tell you how to use it | 17:37 |
| Cpt_Zyph | well i'm clearn'n the entire system for just this ubuntu test it had winblows and fedora on it before but i wanna cram this thing with this distro | 17:37 |

| Cpt_Zyph | 2gigs physical | 17:37 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: ok | 17:37 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: what it will have done is made most of your hard disk the / | 17:37 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: and made a 4GB RAM | 17:38 |
| Cpt_Zyph | system should eb fine but in the past i always made swap partition 2x the physical ram size just like virutal mem for windows for i.e. | 17:38 |
| sebsebseb | uh SWAP I mean | 17:38 |
| lana | mmomjian, am can use it a littel but, my problem is how to put nikto on my main menu | 17:38 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: yes thats what it will have done the guided install | 17:38 |
| kanhiya | any body know where to download edubuntu add on cd not dvd | 17:38 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: also its a good idea to have a seperate /home really | 17:38 |
| Cpt_Zyph | so cahnces is its will auto double my physical for the swap .. as in make it a 2gig swap | 17:38 |
| mmomjian | lana: I think you run it from the console | 17:38 |
| mmomjian | it's not a graphical program, is it? | 17:38 |
| lana | mmomjian, like menu Accesoriss (Application > Accessoris >Nikto | 17:38 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: makes re installing Ubuntu, a bit easier, or distro hopping, since then got the data and such just there | 17:38 |
| Cpt_Zyph | sebsebseb i read that but dont totaly understand as to why taht is unless i'm making a server.. | 17:39 |
| === KindTwo46 is now known as KindOne | ||
| marijus | is it possible to auto execute a script on external monitor plug in/out event? | 17:39 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: easier to set them up on install, then after woulds, well never done it afterwoulds myself | 17:39 |
| Cpt_Zyph | figured its all one drive if the physical drive goes then it dosnt' matter what partition it is | 17:39 |
| lana | mmomjian, but am need to put it on my main menu can i do | 17:39 |
| mmomjian | lana: Does it have a graphics part? Or does it run in a terminal?? | 17:39 |
| Cpt_Zyph | what does one stadn to gain by doing that on a laptop setup for i.e. brb phone | 17:39 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: think Windows. C is Windows D is Data | 17:39 |
| kanhiya | any body know where to download edubuntu add on cd not dvd | 17:39 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: so /home would be like D in Windows | 17:39 |
| bazhang | lana, nikto is a command line program | 17:40 |
| darthvies | Hi | 17:40 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: home is where your data goes, and program user data as well in hidden .folders | 17:40 |
| pedro | Holap | 17:40 |
| mmomjian | kanhiya: the only reason edubuntu is different is because it has more stuff installed - hence the dvd | 17:40 |
| pedro | only english? | 17:40 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: uh you didn't have to pm that, but sure in a bit, when you get back, ask me some questions or whatever | 17:41 |

| Cpt_Zyph | for a few atleast | 17:44 |
| Benjie | I didn't mention I have a number of raid6 stripes LVM'd together. | 17:44 |
| danielda | I've installed Ubuntu in Windows XP so I had both Windows XP and Linux on the same computer. they were installed side by side. Using LVPM I've resized Ubuntu several times. I've decide to transfer it to a new partition so I formatted a new partition into ext4.

| danielda | ...whenever I try to start. What can I possibly do? I think that if I could change the Ubuntu file system back to ext3 from ext4 it will solve the problem... But how do I do it? | 17:44 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: right so your back now? | 17:44 |
| Cpt_Zyph | yep | 17:44 |
| Cpt_Zyph | so i understand the C / D concept of windows | 17:44 |

| Cpt_Zyph | understood | 17:45 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: well | 17:45 |
| larard | does anyone know ho go from device major, minor number to /dev/sd?? name? | 17:45 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: / SWAP and /home | 17:45 |
| larard | is there a way to map this. | 17:45 |
| Cpt_Zyph | encrypt home dir.. is this easy to get around if i have to rip the HD out and access the data later? | 17:45 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: /home is like | 17:46 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: well it isn't just data | 17:46 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: well ok its all data, but, yeah the hidden .folders for programs | 17:46 |
| ne7work | what is the difference between gnome and gnome-desktop-evniorrment | 17:46 |
| Cpt_Zyph | i figured applications were installed some place else | 17:46 |
| Cpt_Zyph | and /home was just user settnigs temp files and folders.. etc | 17:46 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: yes the apps them selves will be installed in / | 17:46 |
| Cpt_Zyph | or are user applications installed there as well? | 17:46 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: no the apps aren't, but program user data is | 17:47 |
| ociredeF | hey, I installed 10.04 64 bits on a toshiba satellite and cannot detect wireless conections. | 17:47 |
| Cpt_Zyph | got ya | 17:47 |
| ociredeF | Does anybody in here knows why and how to solve this? | 17:47 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: so the Firefox profiel for example. .mozilla | 17:47 |
| Benjie | larard, /dev/sda is 8,0 with /dev/sda7 is 8,7. /dev/sdb is 8,16 /dev/sdb7 is 8,23. /dev/sdf is 8,80 | 17:47 |
| Cpt_Zyph | so in a server world for i.e. u would have a 2nd hd for /home and make 2 images of the system.. and more recent img of the /home HD as it would change constantly | 17:47 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: if you move or delete the hidden .mozilla folder, and then re open Firefox, its like your using it for the first time after installing | 17:47 |
| Cpt_Zyph | and if server crashed home would eb all user personal settings and app data | 17:47 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: yes, but this is also good for desktops not just servers | 17:48 |
| Cpt_Zyph | ok so its like %userprofile%\application data for windows | 17:48 |
| Dr_Willis | larard: well looking at my /dev/sdxx entries - it seems it startx at a major # of 8,0 for sda and goes up by 16 for each new hd.. sdb = 8.16 | 17:48 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: if there is a reason to clean install Ubuntu, or even if you want to do another distro instead | 17:48 |
| Dr_Willis | larard: sdc = 8,32 | 17:48 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: all you then got to do is get rid of / and do a new one | 17:48 |
| Daekdroom | !info libsensors4 | 17:48 |
| Cpt_Zyph | so tahts the part i'm not connecting the dots on maybe cuz i'm new to it or just lacking understanding were is the benifit to such setup on a single user style laptop? | 17:48 |

| Cpt_Zyph | so for reinstalls then? | 17:49 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: and your data will still be there in /home and then programs you had installed before, when most are re installed, you will have the same settings for them | 17:49 |
| HTT-Bird | !info libsensors4 | 17:49 |
| Cpt_Zyph | you retain all user info and app settings basicly if you ahve to reinstall and /home is diff partition | 17:49 |

| Benjie | larard, as Dr_Willis suggests, sd[X][##] = 8, (X*16)+## where for X, a=0, b=1, c=2, ... | 17:49 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: so yeah seperate /home is good for this, but sometimes even the seperate /home will want to be re done | 17:49 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: ,because of a new better file system for example | 17:49 |
| Dr_Willis | larard: sdc1 would be Sdc #,#+1 it seems | 17:49 |
| Cpt_Zyph | makes sense.. so that leads me to ask.. how much room do i make the / partition because it sounds like 90% of the rest of it should be the /home folder | 17:49 |
| Cpt_Zyph | rgr that i.e. ext3 vs ext4 | 17:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Cpt_Zyph: 10gb min i say for / | 17:50 |
| === button is now known as _button | ||
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: Ubuntu used the Ext3 file system by default before 9.10, then with 9.10 and 10.04 its Ext4, but in 10.10 it might be btrfs instead, if not probably 11.04 | 17:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Cpt_Zyph: 15 to 20gb min if you got the space. | 17:50 |
| Cpt_Zyph | i got 360gig for this little laptop | 17:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Cpt_Zyph: it really SUCKS when you run out of space on / :) | 17:50 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: 10GB for / is good useasuly | 17:51 |
| Cpt_Zyph | so sounds like a even 35 should cover long use usage.. 2gig swap and teh rest /home? | 17:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Cpt_Zyph: most of my systems are around 10gb for / | 17:51 |
| Cpt_Zyph | i see | 17:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Cpt_Zyph: but a few are very close to being over 10 | 17:51 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: yeah about 10GB is good for / | 17:51 |
| Cpt_Zyph | damn should of asked ya all before install test 1 started lol ist doing the software now might as well wait | 17:51 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: no its ok | 17:51 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: the SWAP the installer made for you, will be good | 17:51 |
| Cpt_Zyph | is it possable .. i'm still learn'n fdisk but for i.e. partition magic for windows to cut up and resize partitions once install is completed and i'm in the gnome gui? | 17:52 |
| === MK|BNC is now known as MK-BB | ||
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: so you can keep that, get rid of the other partition, and do this other set up | 17:52 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: yes Gparted on the Live CD, or just do it in manual install | 17:52 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: and yeah graphical | 17:52 |
| Cpt_Zyph | i see so i'll have to download a live cd to do it? can't do it in the normal OS? | 17:52 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: uhmm | 17:52 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: I thought you were on the Live CD? | 17:52 |
| Cpt_Zyph | i woudln't mind learn'n fdisk .. i have the normal install disk | 17:53 |
| Cpt_Zyph | no i'm diong normal install atm | 17:53 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: the Ubuntu CD | 17:53 |
| Cpt_Zyph | correct | 17:53 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: is the LIve CD | 17:53 |
| Cpt_Zyph | ? | 17:53 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: two options for install, either just well install, or boot from CD try the system and then install | 17:53 |
| Cpt_Zyph | didn't see that option when i booted to it.. it just asked instal.. recover .. etc | 17:53 |
| Cpt_Zyph | normaly a live disk boots ya to the OS and tehn gives ya install options atleast thats the fedora ones i'm used to | 17:53 |
| ania | what is it? | 17:54 |
| Cpt_Zyph | i must of over looked taht option | 17:54 |

| larard | Benjie Dr_Willis , thanks! I ended up dumping it from /sys/block/*/*/dev, but that works better. | 17:54 |

| Cpt_Zyph | ? | 17:55 |
| Dr_Willis | rmorgan: edit fstab.. add a proper entry.. but that is a ntfs partition? | 17:55 |

| Dr_Willis | sdoherty: its used by default in ubuntu :) | 18:01 |
| sebsebseb | sdoherty: yes that it sucks in Ubuntu useually, and that Kubuntu doesn't use it | 18:01 |
| Dr_Willis | !pulse | 18:01 |
| ubottu | PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 18:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive rarely had issues with pulse audio | 18:01 |
| sebsebseb | Dr_Willis: well pulseaudio is the reason for most sound issues, I guess, since 8.04 | 18:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Thats debateable.. :) | 18:01 |
| Daekdroom | sebsebseb, what would you expect? It is the default option | 18:02 |
| Dr_Willis | but whats the actual problem you are having sdoherty ? | 18:02 |
| sebsebseb | Dr_Willis: or uhmm the way Ubuntu does pulseaudio at least | 18:02 |
| Daekdroom | sebsebseb, if it was still ESD, pulseaudio wouldn't be the cause for most sound issues.. | 18:02 |
| sebsebseb | Daekdroom: alsa and such is better for most users | 18:02 |

| kaeser_ntbk | sebner, do you know how? | 18:04 |
| Daekdroom | Dr_Willis, it isn't "somehow" Pulseaudio IS compatible with Win32 | 18:04 |
| Dr_Willis | kaeser_ntbk: use whatever os you want to install a boot loader/mbr - delete linux partitions. repartition/reformat them as needed | 18:04 |
| Dr_Willis | Daekdroom: first ive ever heard of that. | 18:04 |
| sebsebseb | kaeser_ntbk: I know how, but maybe your issue can be fixed in Ubuntu whatever it is, or maybe by another distro even :D | 18:04 |

| sebsebseb | mataks: uname -r | 18:29 |
| mataks | sebsebseb, k thanks | 18:29 |
| person51090 | sebsebseb any thoughts for how to install the old grub? the instructions indicate that "grub" should work at a terminal in the live cd, but this is not the case at all | 18:29 |

| person51090 | Dr_Willis any thoughts for how to get into my old install? it would be enough if I could simply move some of the files back to ntfs and reinstall, even thought that is ridiculous | 18:30 |

| person51090 | sebsebseb It says to put in the live cd, open terminal, type grub. that third step does nothing | 18:31 |
| sebsebseb | person51090: what is the problem with Grub? | 18:31 |
| person51090 | sebsebseb when i reinstalled windows 7, i simply lost it | 18:31 |
| rabbit1 | sebsebseb. ok, got to do that then | 18:31 |

| Keith-BlindUser | The problem in question is taht my laptop hibernates just ffine, but never resumes, just cold reboots with 0 minutes of uptime. The problem is that 'dev'sda5 is my swap partition, and I cannot figure out how to uppend reume=/dev/sda5 to the kernel through the latest version of grub so that resuming properly works. | 18:33 |
| ActionParsnip | speps: asked in #compiz ? | 18:33 |
| sebsebseb | rooibos: it doesn't matter if you have another Grub as well, as long as the correct Grub is being used, when you boot, but also when a new kernel is installed | 18:33 |

| sebsebseb | yannf: yes | 18:35 |
| sebsebseb | yannf: I think thats it | 18:35 |
| prince_jammys | rabbit1: see if it's in the menus or type 'winefile' in a terminal | 18:35 |
| sebsebseb | yannf: you installed old Grub into a later version? its in the repo, but then you got to set up some how | 18:35 |

| rabbit1 | i intalled the software (.exe) file but i now i don't find it | 18:52 |
| sebsebseb | aj00200: Virtualbox big :) | 18:53 |
| sebsebseb | rabbit1: for which program? | 18:53 |
| aj00200 | sebsebseb: what do you mean by big? | 18:53 |
| sebsebseb | aj00200: I meant that its a great program, (and I mainly also did that, since in my yeah message, I typod and did :) instead of :) ) | 18:54 |
| pntav | anyone available to give me some help w/ glxinfo/ATI drivers? | 18:54 |
| sebsebseb | pntav: hrm | 18:55 |
| rabbit1 | a local ISP Client program | 18:55 |
| KungFuJesus | just filed a bug report, how often does it take Ubuntu devs to fix a bug if it simply requires updating a reverse dependent package? | 18:55 |
| sebsebseb | rabbit1: That does what? | 18:55 |
| aj00200 | sebsebseb: Ok. I might have used it before... to run ubuntu, but I'm not sure | 18:55 |
| rabbit1 | sebsebseb: without which i won't be able to connect through linux | 18:55 |
| Daekdroom | KungFuJesus, Depends on how long it takes to somebody to take a look at it | 18:55 |
| sebsebseb | rabbit1: that probably isn't quite true, unless it s AOL or something stupid like that I guess | 18:55 |
| pntav | I'm told "name of display: :0.0" "Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"." | 18:55 |
| MoleMann | how do i solve the "checking battery state" error? it wont go away so i cant install LL unr | 18:56 |
| rabbit1 | sebsebseb: its just a authentication client and keeps track of the usage timings | 18:56 |
| test34 | Is a free wifi access point that doesnt require a password never encrypted? | 18:56 |
| sebsebseb | rabbit1: you probably don't need it | 18:56 |
| sebsebseb | rabbit1: which ISP? | 18:56 |
| rabbit1 | sebsebseb: yes, its stupid here in India, its Sify | 18:56 |
| KungFuJesus | Daekdroom: I tried to be as detailed as possible when filing the bug, is this a good report? https://bugs.launchpad.net/digikam/+bug/596327 | 18:56 |
| sebsebseb | pntav: ok | 18:56 |
| sebsebseb | pntav: ATI graphics card issues are common for Ubuntu, maybe one in system > preferences > hardware drivers, that works, may be able to make use of this page | 18:57 |
| sebsebseb | !ati | pntav | 18:57 |
| ubottu | pntav: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 18:57 |
| sebsebseb | pntav: and now for some good ATI news | 18:57 |
| rabbit1 | sebsebseb: i get the installation screen, and also i can install, but again, don't know where the exe file is located after installation, | 18:57 |
| pntav | sebsebseb: yeah I've been following these guides all night | 18:57 |
| person51090 | OK all, trying to install grub 2 from the newest live cd. runing sudo grub-install as per the directions gives me "unable to execute /usr/sbin/grub-install: Input/output error." Thoughts? | 18:58 |
| sebsebseb | pntav: They have recently released a new driver, and yes it works with Ubuntu as well: http://news.softpedia.com/news/New-ATI-Linux-Video-Driver-Has-OpenGL-4-0-and-RHEL-5-5-Support-144827.shtml | 18:58 |
| sebsebseb | rabbit1: applications > wine | 18:59 |
| sebsebseb | rabbit1: well it may have added shortcuts there | 18:59 |
| Daekdroom | KungFuJesus, Adam Stylinski wrote 32 seconds ago: | 18:59 |
| Daekdroom | KungFuJesus, Somebody is already working on it, apparently. | 18:59 |
| sebsebseb | rabbit1: by the way using Wine to connect to an Internet Service Provider, probably won't even work | 18:59 |
| rabbit1 | sebsebseb: nothing, its just the same notepad, when i first installed wine | 18:59 |
| sebsebseb | !wine | rabbit1 | 19:00 |
| ubottu | rabbit1: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 19:00 |
| Daekdroom | KungFuJesus, and yeah, it's a decent bug report. | 19:00 |
| sebsebseb | rabbit1: really you need the Internet connection working with the OS that is properly installed to the hard disk, so yeah Ubuntu | 19:00 |
| sebsebseb | rabbit1: and as long as your Internet Service Provider isn't really stupid, this shoudn't be a problem | 19:00 |
| sebsebseb | rabbit1: or you should be able to phone them up at least, and they can tell you details to connect or something | 19:00 |
| drothli_w | how may I fix a broken installation (I can not see a bootloader, but it has been working until now) | 19:01 |
| sebsebseb | rabbit1: what kind of Intenret you got? the provider, but also the type, like broadband, dial up? | 19:01 |
| gbear14275 | can anyone tell me a simple drawing app similar to paint (but maybe a little better)? | 19:01 |
| Dr_Willis | person51090: check 'dmesg' output. Its possuible theres a filesystem/hard drive issue going on | 19:01 |
| Dr_Willis | gbear14275: mtpaint | 19:02 |

| gbear14275 | Dr_Willis: thanks! | 19:02 |
| minimec | drothli_w: When did that happen? After a kernel update? | 19:02 |
| Dr_Willis | gbear14275: but its a little weird in ways | 19:02 |
| sebastian | hey guys, anyone knows how to install a different sound theme on ubuntu lucid? | 19:02 |
| sebsebseb | sebastian: system > preferences > sound | 19:02 |
| person51090 | Dr_Willis The output is so long... | 19:02 |
| sebsebseb | sebastian: or maybe not | 19:02 |
| sebsebseb | sebastian: anyway I think 10.10 will get a new sound theme | 19:03 |
| sebastian | sebsebseb: i cant install anything from there | 19:03 |
| ravindu | I have ugly plymouth , I have nvidia..I tried many method to fix it | 19:03 |
| person51090 | Any idea why I can't chroot from a live cd? I get "unable to execut /usr/sbin/chroot: Input/output error" | 19:03 |
| Dr_Willis | person51090: the end of the output is what you want to see | 19:03 |
| drothli_w | minimec: I just found out now, did no kernel update | 19:03 |
| sebsebseb | ravindu: you can get a nice text boot instead :) | 19:03 |
| person51090 | Dr_Willis busy inodes on changed media or reszed disk sr0 | 19:03 |
| Dr_Willis | person51090: that sounds like a bad cd | 19:03 |
| ravindu | like on softpedia nothing worked | 19:03 |
| sebsebseb | ravindu: and yes there are issues with plytmouth and Nivida propritary driver | 19:03 |
| minimec | drothli_w: So no problem anymore? | 19:03 |
| person51090 | Dr_Willis nope, double checked + MD5 | 19:03 |
| waldir | ah, by the way, I can't seem to disable the login sound... how do I do that? | 19:03 |
| sebastian | Anyone got an idea on how to install a sound theme on ubuntu lucid? | 19:03 |
| drothli_w | minimec: it does not boot anymore, except from ubunutu cd | 19:03 |
| Daekdroom | waldir, System > Admin > Login Screen | 19:03 |
| trism | waldir: System/Preferences/Startup Applications, uncheck Gnome login sound | 19:04 |
| Dr_Willis | person51090: dosent matter.. Io/error = having hard time reading the cd... | 19:04 |
| ravindu | I like but my firends meke me embarrasd | 19:04 |
| trism | waldir: or Daekdroom method for the sound before you log in | 19:04 |
| drothli_w | minimec: how ever the cd is missing a repair functionality | 19:04 |
| Dr_Willis | person51090: and ive seen cases where md5's work.. but the cd's dont.. could be dirt in the drive. or somthing else flakey.. or a finger print | 19:04 |
| Daekdroom | Yeah. There is one for when the login screen pops up, which is where I said, and one for when GNOME starts, which is at Startup | 19:04 |
| person51090 | Dr_Willis is that really true? Do I make a new cd? That's really ridiculous if that's the problem | 19:04 |
| Dr_Willis | person51090: one of the many reasons i use Flash drives these days | 19:04 |
| waldir | trism: Oh, that one if for the sound *before* logging in?! I was wondering why it didn't work :/ | 19:05 |
| Dr_Willis | person51090: its failing to read a file from the cd, with an Iinput/output error.. so that points to some issue with the disk, or drive, or cables.. | 19:05 |
| sebastian | Anyone got an idea on how to install a sound theme on ubuntu lucid? | 19:05 |
| Dr_Willis | person51090: or some weird quirk with the drivers.. | 19:05 |
| Dr_Willis | sebastian: nope. Not sure its even doable :) | 19:05 |
| sebsebseb | !repeate | sebastian | 19:05 |
| sebsebseb | !patience | sebastian | 19:05 |
| ubottu | sebastian: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 19:05 |
| ravindu | Why canonical release products having problem without fixing | 19:05 |
| Daekdroom | sebsebseb, !repeat, perhaps | 19:05 |
| minimec | drothli_w: Can you press (and hold) the left <shift> button when the bios bootscreen ends? Then choose recovery mode or try a older kernel version. | 19:05 |
| sebsebseb | ravindu: thats not so much a Plymouth issue | 19:06 |
| Daekdroom | ravindu, Everybody does that, if you think about it. | 19:06 |
| sebsebseb | ravindu: its Nividas fault this time, for having a driver that does not support Plymouth | 19:06 |
| waldir | trism: the login sound is considered a startup application? there's an executable just for that?! :O or is it just a poorly (IMO) placed option? | 19:06 |
| Dr_Willis | ravindu: plymouth is very much a work in progress also.. and its an issue with the drivers from nvidia that ubuntu has no controll over. | 19:06 |
| minimec | drothli_w: <shift> key ;) | 19:06 |
| Dr_Willis | personally i think they need a simple way to just disable plymouth.. | 19:06 |
| sebsebseb | Dr_Willis: here you go | 19:06 |
| Daekdroom | waldir, All three at the same time, apparently. | 19:06 |
| person51090 | Dr_Willis I'm so done with this garbage. Can I mount my ntfs partitions from the live CD? | 19:07 |
| waldir | Daekdroom: lol | 19:07 |
| sebsebseb | Dr_Willis: remove plymouth-label, plymouth-theme-ubuntu-{logo,text}, and plymouth-x11; then remove "splash" from /etc/default/grub and do sudo update-grub | 19:07 |
| sebsebseb | ravindu: this gives you text boot instead | 19:07 |
| sebsebseb | ravindu: remove plymouth-label, plymouth-theme-ubuntu-{logo,text}, and plymouth-x11; then remove "splash" from /etc/default/grub and do sudo update-grub | 19:07 |
| Dr_Willis | person51090: yes - ntfs is accessable from the luive cd | 19:07 |
| miniuser | whats "plymouth"? | 19:07 |
| Daekdroom | sebsebseb, is removing splash from /etc/default/grub enough/ | 19:07 |
| sebsebseb | miniuser: The graphical boot up that 10.04 uses | 19:07 |
| Dr_Willis | person51090: unless of course teh cd is having so many issues those binaries are broken also. | 19:07 |
| Daekdroom | !plymouth | 19:07 |
| trism | waldir: yes, it uses canberra-gtk-play to play the sound from the sound theme, I have no idea why | 19:07 |
| ravindu | thankx | 19:07 |
| Dr_Willis | Daekdroom: no it is not. ive tried. :) | 19:07 |
| sebsebseb | Daekdroom: remove plymouth-label, plymouth-theme-ubuntu-{logo,text}, and plymouth-x11; then remove "splash" from /etc/default/grub and do sudo update-grub | 19:07 |
| drothli_w | minimec doesn't work either | 19:08 |
| miniuser | sebsebseb: lol, i see it for about 20 seconds | 19:08 |
| sebsebseb | Daekdroom: and you get a text boot instead | 19:08 |
| Dr_Willis | sebsebseb: you 'sure' that works? | 19:08 |
| sebsebseb | Dr_Willis: yes it works | 19:08 |
| ravindu | anybody tried YlmfOs It is great | 19:08 |
| person51090 | Dr_Willis could I just use "sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt2" or somehting? | 19:08 |
| Dr_Willis | sebsebseb: well theres a dozen forum threads you need to post that on then. :) | 19:08 |
| Dr_Willis | person51090: yes. | 19:08 |
| sebsebseb | Dr_Willis: rww told me originally, and I have even tested in a vm, and yeah something I will do for the other computer, when I bother | 19:08 |
| person51090 | Dr_Willis I try that, no such folder appears. No erros, but i get no /mnt2 | 19:09 |
| sebsebseb | Dr_Willis: screw forums | 19:09 |
| sebsebseb | Dr_Willis: slow like email | 19:09 |
| minimec | drothli_w: Is there any message, or do you see any harddisk activity? | 19:09 |
| IdleOne | sebsebseb: watch the language buddy ") | 19:09 |
| sebsebseb | Dr_Willis: takes a while to type posts as well, IRC and IM :) | 19:09 |
| drothli_w | minimec: the is a _ left top that is all | 19:09 |
| sebsebseb | IdleOne: oh that counts as well? | 19:09 |
| IdleOne | sebsebseb: yup | 19:09 |
| minimec | drothli_w: and the harddisk is not active? | 19:10 |
| Dr_Willis | person51090: mounting fundamentals.. You MUST make the duir you are mounting to FIRST... | 19:10 |
| IdleOne | sebsebseb: unless you are talking about screws | 19:10 |
| sebsebseb | !language | sebsebseb | 19:10 |
| ubottu | sebsebseb, please see my private message | 19:10 |
| drothli_w | minimec: not that I hear | 19:10 |
| sebsebseb | IdleOne: got a ltitle carried away or something, since I don't like forums much | 19:10 |
| waldir | trism: I'm sure there must be a bug or idea submitted somewhere to fix this. I should vote on that | 19:10 |
| person51090 | Dr_Willis duir? | 19:11 |
| IdleOne | sebsebseb: no worries | 19:11 |
| zus | is gnome-do ppa not working in lucid? i get an error when u releoad.. | 19:11 |
| Dr_Willis | person51090: if mounting to /poo you have tio have /poo there.. | 19:11 |
| minimec | drothli_w: don't you have any green HD LED on that computer? | 19:11 |
| Dr_Willis | !mount | person51090 | 19:11 |
| ubottu | person51090: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 19:11 |
| drothli_w | minimec: no, I would checked the led otherwise | 19:11 |

| FOREvERz | hello everyone) | 19:13 |
| person51090 | Dr_Willis I am doing all of this just fine. nothing is in /mnt2 | 19:13 |
| FOREvERz | has someone help me?) | 19:13 |
| sebsebseb | !ask | FOREvERz | 19:13 |
| ubottu | FOREvERz: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 19:13 |
| FOREvERz | i received ubuntu 10.4, but i have installed 9.04. can i upgrade it to 10.4? | 19:14 |
| sebsebseb | FOREvERz: recived 10.04? | 19:14 |
| FOREvERz | by request | 19:14 |
| sebsebseb | FOREvERz: a CD? | 19:14 |
| sebsebseb | offical CD? | 19:14 |
| FOREvERz | yes | 19:14 |
| drothli_w | How can I repair an ubuntu installation, there seems to be no rescue mode on the iso 10.4 i386 | 19:14 |
| cow_ | what is /media/apt ?:O | 19:14 |
| minimec | drothli_w: So... I guess that your master boot is corrupted, as you cannot choose recovery mode with the lefft<shift> key. You should be able to restore or create new entries for the master boot... When you boot the live CD, do you see the harddisk in the filemanager? | 19:14 |
| webroasters | hi, i upgraded my server to ubuntu 10.4 last night | 19:15 |
| FOREvERz | cow_: you asking to me? | 19:15 |
| sebsebseb | FOREvERz: you can upgrade to 10.04 from 9.04, but you would have to go through 9.10 first. Also 9.04 is still supported untill the end of October, and it really is better than 10.04 in certain ways :) | 19:15 |
| webroasters | and when i checked out my client's website... | 19:15 |
| drothli_w | minimec yes I see those | 19:15 |
| sebsebseb | webroasters: Server edition? | 19:15 |
| webroasters | his images are looking like this ../../../var/www/clients/libertynation.com/public/system/application/views/system/files/media/images/benjaminfranklinpress3.jpg | 19:15 |
| webroasters | @sebsebseb: yeah | 19:15 |
| tar- | sebsebseb: which ways? | 19:15 |
| sebsebseb | webroasters: ok well then #ubuntu-server | 19:15 |
| webroasters | ah ok | 19:15 |
| webroasters | thanks | 19:15 |
| cow_ | im asking in general | 19:16 |
| xiratax | anyone? | 19:16 |
| sebsebseb | tar-: less features that a lot of expereinced users, don't like :) | 19:16 |
| sebsebseb | tar-: by a long way | 19:16 |
| FOREvERz | sebsebseb: i am newbie in ubuntu or whole linux, so it will be better if I stay on 9.04?) | 19:16 |
| sebsebseb | FOREvERz: well you can try 10.04 from the Live CD | 19:16 |
| sebsebseb | FOREvERz: ,but if I was still using 9.04, I would stay on that for now, I guess | 19:17 |
| tonnny | 10.04 more pretty | 19:17 |
| Dr_Willis | person51090: then you are doing womthing wrong. or the disk is empty. or missing some option in your command line | 19:17 |
| sebsebseb | tonnny: no | 19:17 |
| sebsebseb | tonnny: well yes a bit I suppouse | 19:17 |
| FOREvERz | tonnny: that's good:) | 19:17 |
| the_g0at | or read the buntu handbook that should give u a head start FOREvERz | 19:17 |
| AdminX | tonny: Yes, I am feeling 10.04 alot! | 19:17 |
| Dr_Willis | person51090: sudo mkdir /media/TheDrive then sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/TheDrive -t ntfs-3g is normally how i do it | 19:18 |
| FOREvERz | the_g0at: where i can get ubuntu handbook? | 19:18 |
| sebsebseb | !manual | FOREvERz | 19:18 |
| ubottu | FOREvERz: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 19:18 |
| AdminX | tonnny: Yes, I am feeling 10.04 alot! | 19:18 |
| sebsebseb | FOREvERz: most of that also applys to 9.04 | 19:18 |
| tonnny | ;D | 19:18 |
| the_g0at | FOREvERz, link is on the main page i do believe | 19:18 |
| FOREvERz | sebsebseb: thank you :) | 19:18 |
| DrkStr | Hello All | 19:18 |
| sebsebseb | with 10.04 even more bad things have been done to Gnome :( that aren't upstream, but right most of you probably don't even know what I mean | 19:18 |
| lana | Assallmua'laikum | 19:19 |
| xiratax | anyone? how do i access networkdrives on my server03 at work from my linux distro at home with vpn connection?? | 19:19 |
| lakeoftea | how do i set up a x client / server thing between my 2nd desktop (ubuntu server 9.04) and primary computer (ubuntu desktop 10.04)? is vnc the only way? | 19:19 |
| DrkStr | anyone know of a way to make firefox transparent | 19:19 |
| Dr_Willis | lakeoftea: freenx may work better. but isd a little harder to get going.. vnc is rather easy to get going. | 19:20 |
| sebsebseb | tar-: theres your answer ^ | 19:20 |
| FOREvERz | but if i want to upgrade, can i upgrade 9.10 to 10.04 or better if i will install it again? | 19:20 |
| minimec | drothli_w: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 19:20 |
| lana | am need help | 19:20 |
| lana | please am need modification my gdm login. how to ? am used ubuntu 10.04 LTS | 19:20 |
| lana | any body can help me ? | 19:20 |
| Dr_Willis | lakeoftea: OR if you can see both pc's/monitors you may want to use syngery, | 19:20 |
| AdminX | DrkStr: You mean like you can do with Opera, if so not sure that you can. | 19:20 |
| tonnny | i use x11vnc server so windows control ubunt need a real vnc, ultra i dont know | 19:20 |
| drothli_w | minimec: I will read it, even though I have not installed any windows on that computer | 19:20 |
| tic^ | !vpn | xiratax | 19:20 |
| ubottu | xiratax: For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN | 19:20 |
| Dr_Willis | lakeoftea: OR you could just 'ssh -x remotebox' and run whatever apps you want and have them appear on teh local screen | 19:20 |
| lana | any body can help me to install gmd on ubuntu 10.04 | 19:21 |
| Gnea | sebsebseb: that's impossible. gnome was just a terrible implementation from the get-go, it's impossible to make it any worse. ;) | 19:21 |
| sebsebseb | FOREvERz: if you tried 10.04 from the CD boot it up, and like what you see, you can upgrade to it yeah, but nothing wrong with 9.04 (except for a little while I don't like) whilst its still supported | 19:21 |
| Dr_Willis | lana: GDM is installed by default on ubuntu. | 19:21 |
| sebsebseb | Gnea: What do you use? | 19:21 |
| Dr_Willis | lana: state what you are wanting to do exactly | 19:21 |
| DrkStr | Well i have not tried opera but i would like for the window itself to be transparent like in my xterm or XChat | 19:21 |
| Gnea | sebsebseb: E17. I keep gnome around just in case, but I wouldn't bet any private information on it. | 19:21 |
| IdleOne | lana: what is gmd? | 19:22 |
| sebsebseb | Gnea: woudn't bet any proviate information on it? | 19:22 |
| Dr_Willis | lakeoftea: clarfy what you mean... 'ssh -x remotebox' and then run 'gedit' (for example) and it appears locally. but is running on the other machine | 19:22 |
| FOREvERz | sebsebseb: then i can choose which ubuntu i can boot in GRUB? | 19:22 |
| marcoantonio | Escriba el texto aqufffd....chica bacana | 19:22 |

| sebsebseb | FOREvERz: if you upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 or 10.04, you would still have the old Grub :) and then you could install Grub2 yourself, but not much point in that. Grub as in the boot loader, that you boot Ubuntu from, if you don't understand | 19:24 |

| sirninja | ActionParsnip: The weirdest thing just happened. I opened a new tab in the terminal and I was typing and it froze. I wonder if my hard drive is dying or something. That would explain the unexplained weirdness | 19:43 |
| p1l0t | Is there a way to find the mac address of a wireless router without logging into it? | 19:43 |
| bastidrazor | sirninja: possible RAM issues too? | 19:43 |
| greezmunkey | p1l0t: on the wireless side, you mean? | 19:44 |
| pfifo | sirninja, the program 'badblocks' can be run to determine if your drive is failing | 19:44 |
| Sangeeth | greezmunkey : But, i'm really new to this and can't classify which is hard and easy project... I need someone to work with... Like a team... | 19:44 |
| NitzchONot | sirninja, maybe overheat ? | 19:44 |
| p1l0t | greezmunkey yes | 19:44 |
| drothli_w | minimec: thanks it worked | 19:44 |
| sirninja | NitzchONot: I don't think it's too hot. It's a laptop and it doesn't feel hot | 19:45 |
| ActionParsnip | sirninja: reboot holding shift and select memtest | 19:45 |
| minimec | drothli_w: no problem. Happy it worked for you. Question is, how the boot secot got corrupted... ;) I have no clue... | 19:45 |
| ActionParsnip | sirninja: you can also download the ultimatebootcd and test your drive using manufacturers testing tools | 19:45 |
| sirninja | ActionParsnip: Do you think it's more likely a RAM issue or a drive issue? | 19:45 |
| bastidrazor | p1l0t: sudo iwlist wlan0 scan | 19:45 |
| ActionParsnip | sirninja: test both, its free | 19:45 |
| bastidrazor | p1l0t: wlan0 being your wireless device on your box | 19:45 |
| greezmunkey | p1l0t: the best you would get would be the wireless "MAC" which can be seen with: iwlist {wireless interface #} scanning | 19:45 |
| drothli_w | minimec: I do have clue there, I used the installation for debootstrapping into a cf card, I might missed a chroot at the wrong place, or overwrote the bootsector | 19:46 |
| greezmunkey | bastidrazor: heh! good morning! | 19:46 |

| pfifo | sirninja, overnight is your best bet, but you might get (un)lucky and it will immeadatly identify lots of bad blocks | 19:47 |
| greezmunkey | Sangeeth: the next best suggestion I could give you would be to seek out a local Linux Users Group, or LUG - and start going to meetings. You will find like minded ppl there. | 19:47 |
| ActionParsnip | sirninja: depends on spindle speed and seek time really | 19:48 |
| drothli_w | minimec I knew allways it was my fault or most likely mine, even so I was very carefully while debootstrapping, I just found no solution on how to fix it (did not think that windows help could help me too) | 19:48 |

| ferran | hi to all | 19:48 |

| bastidrazor | p1l0t: glad to help, best of luck. | 19:48 |
| ManDay | bastidrazor, I've read that iwlist can do power saving - but does it also handle all the other driver specific parameters? | 19:49 |

| JonathanEllis | Can anyone tell me where to find the irc channel for the html editor called screem? | 19:49 |
| minimec | drothli_w: It's not exactly 'windows help'. A corrupted boot sector often happens when trying to install a dual boot setup, that's the only reason. | 19:49 |

| lvh | ActionParsnip: I'm just very surprised that in 2010 something that knows it's supposed to loop mount (default action == mount, after all), when the basic tool (mount) knows what to do, and we still can't mount a DVD image? | 20:07 |
| istvan | hey, i just got a new backup drive. any suggestions on which backsup software to use for hourly incrimental backups? | 20:07 |
| Daekdroom | KungFuJesus, what's wrong with such thing? | 20:07 |
| KungFuJesus | this bug is not fixed downstream at all, they need to update these packages | 20:07 |
| ActionParsnip | lvh: i believe you can mount dvd images, just needs some tweaks to the mount afaik | 20:07 |
| KungFuJesus | this an specifically an Ubuntu bug when it gets fixed upstream, Ubuntu needs to update the packages to reflect the upstream changes | 20:07 |
| lvh | ActionParsnip: yeah, I mean in the default install | 20:08 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ActionParsnip, nope that doesn't work will keep reading the man pages | 20:08 |
| Blueskaj | ctklap, which ubuntu version are you using ? lsb_release -a | 20:08 |

| Daekdroom | KungFuJesus, I think you can complain about that over #launchpad | 20:08 |
| bluejeans | how do i find out where 'bus 001 device 6' is pointed to in /dev/ ?? | 20:08 |
| KungFuJesus | anyway, I added an affected package which it does affect, but I'm not changing the status of it from New or it will close this bug | 20:08 |

| magicianlord | Jordan_U: is there a way to disable the b43 drivers and ssb through grub command line BEFORE it boots? i think this will solve the issue possibly | 20:10 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ActionParsnip, I could, I could but that is just taking shortcuts if you know what I mean and that is assuming I know the exact way the file is named when its downloaded | 20:10 |
| magicianlord | then i can install the proper driver that works | 20:10 |
| istvan | for backups should I use rsync, flyback, or timevault? (or other?) | 20:10 |
| Bekmand | minimec: Hmm... the last thing i changed was the xorg.conf file | 20:11 |
| Bekmand | minimec: Something for my g15 keyboard | 20:11 |

| ActionParsnip | !chroot | magicianlord | 20:13 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ActionParsnip, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=157548 apparently there is no actual way but someone suggest a pushd method errrh | 20:13 |
| ubottu | magicianlord: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 20:13 |
| Bekmand | minimec: yea did that. i added a SubSection to the xorg file | 20:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Pirate_Hunter: thats from the medibuntu repo how to | 20:13 |
| magicianlord | i just need the terminal commands so tha i can get to the system file and delete b43 | 20:13 |

| greezmunkey | magicianlord: can you simply blacklist them? Or, does that not work? | 20:14 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ActionParsnip, oh I see no wonder the command aint recognised | 20:14 |
| ActionParsnip | magicianlord: mount the partition then use: sudo chromm /path/to/mount from what I remember, the how to will tell you more | 20:14 |
| magicianlord | greezmunkey: yes, i cna blacklist them in blacklist.conf, but i need to get into the file first, please | 20:15 |
| magicianlord | ok ActionParsnip | 20:15 |
| Bekmand | minimec: But is there something that i can do to change it back? or do i have to reinstall it | 20:15 |
| ActionParsnip | red2kic: no, the forwarding is established at connection afaik | 20:15 |
| minimec | Bekmand: I would do the following. Boot in recovery mode (left<shift>after BIOS screen), load the recovery mode and choose a root console. login and do 'sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg-old.conf, the logout and reboot. Let's see how ubuntu handles the keyboard. | 20:15 |

| Zwei | Hi all. I'm not sure what happened. This morning I closed my laptop without shutting it down properly. When I opened it, it would not start up (just a black screen), so I rebooted it. Since then my internet did not work, my friend told me to type "ifconfig eth0 up", then "dhclient eth0", now my wired connection works. But my wireless still does not work! I've looked around on the internet but didn't find a solution. | 20:19 |
| vladsharp | i can cryptsetup open the disk fine and running vgchange -a y finds the right things | 20:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Khandi: i'd ask in #winehq | 20:19 |

| Jordan_U | howlymowly: If you give a link to the site that you want to work with (if it's available in the U.S.) Then I can try to help you with instructions that I can confirm work. | 20:33 |
| howlymowly | Jordan_U: www.zattoo.com | 20:34 |
| Zwei | minimec: Okay, thanks. Strange since I didn't deactivate it... ever..... hmmmm | 20:34 |
| nerdy_kid | i am looking to move a winxp installation to a bigger hard drive, is this possible and if so what are some good tools to do this under linux? thanks! | 20:34 |
| minimec | Zwei: No, ubuntu did, when trying to hibernate... ;) | 20:35 |
| ActionParsnip | howlymowly: make sure you dont have gnash or swf-dec stinking up the place | 20:35 |
| ActionParsnip | nerdy_kid: partimage | 20:35 |
| Zwei | minimec: Ah, thanks for the info. I'll make sure to never hibernate again. | 20:35 |
| howlymowly | ActionParsnip: You are talking riddles to me ^^ | 20:35 |
| guntbert | Zwei: my hibernate just disabled my networking completely -- so you are not alone it seems :-) | 20:36 |
| nerdy_kid | ActionParsnip thanks :) i have tried dd but it just simply does not work | 20:36 |
| cool3865 | ugh i thought going to Ubuntu was suppose to be painless? | 20:36 |
| ActionParsnip | howlymowly: use http://pastebin.com and give the output of: dpkg -l | grep flash;dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf | 20:36 |
| Zwei | minimec, guntbert: thanks, I'll google to see how to enable it... | 20:36 |
| ActionParsnip | howlymowly: and i will give you a big command to sort you out | 20:37 |
| paul111 | Zwei : now try changing interface (network-manager) & good to go... | 20:37 |
| minimec | Zwei: guntbert: Hmmm... If you do sudo dpkg-reconigure network-manager? | 20:37 |
| guntbert | Zwei: a complete reboot worked wonders - although I don't recommend that generally | 20:37 |
| Jordan_U | howlymowly: I was afraid of that "You seem to be accessing the Zattoo website from a country we do not yet serve." | 20:37 |
| minimec | Zwei: guntbert: That would set the network manager to it's defaults. | 20:37 |
| shadow4295 | Hey can someone help me install flash player on chromium? | 20:38 |
| Jordan_U | howlymowly: But it appears they have a download link for their own "player" for linux. | 20:38 |
| steffan | !flash | shadow4295 | 20:38 |
| ubottu | shadow4295: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 20:38 |
| ActionParsnip | shadow4295: symlink the .so into /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugin | 20:38 |
| shadow4295 | thanks | 20:38 |
| Zwei | guntbert: complete reboot? I've restarted numerous times, it didn't help... | 20:38 |
| nerdy_kid | ActionParsnip um partimage ntfs support is experimental? that wont do... | 20:38 |
| howlymowly | Jordan_U: yeah.. I installed that player.. but it relies on flashplayer, too :) | 20:38 |
| banker247 | how do you quiver items | 20:38 |
| guntbert | minimec: in my case only the applet wouldn't show and when it showed after the reboot I saw that networking was disabled altogether | 20:39 |
| ActionParsnip | nerdy_kid: its free to try, if it goes bad you can always format | 20:39 |
| howlymowly | ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/FvhL7eq2 | 20:39 |
| minimec | guntbert: OK. Then you should be able to right click on that applet and activate wireless. I was able to do so.. | 20:39 |
| Zwei | paul111: What do you mean by changing interface? (very sorry for these question, I'm still learning linux-stuff as quick as I can...) | 20:39 |
| guntbert | Zwei: I only came into that late so I don't know what happened before, I only wanted to give an account what happened here a few minutes ago | 20:40 |
| nerdy_kid | ActionParsnip any other options? :-/ | 20:40 |
| cool3865 | anyone figure out how to bypass the blank screen that wont let Ubuntu boot?? | 20:40 |
| ActionParsnip | howlymowly: sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-installer you already have flash installed, and its the 64bit version | 20:40 |
| guntbert | minimec: of course I was, when it showed up :-) | 20:40 |
| guntbert | minimec: I have no troubles now, but thx | 20:40 |
| Jordan_U | howlymowly: Do you get an error when installing the .deb file, or when running the application? | 20:40 |
| ActionParsnip | nerdy_kid: could try: dd_rescue it will copy from source to dest and not stop on issues | 20:40 |
| minimec | guntbert: And then you had it back, I guess? | 20:40 |
| ActionParsnip | nerdy_kid: you could ask in ##windows. See if they know anything | 20:41 |
| howlymowly | Jordan_U: I installed it with -force--architecture... it works.. the application also works.. just when starting tv i get the error | 20:41 |
| paul111 | Zwei, simply enable eth1 (interface) just by a click | 20:41 |
| garylieberman | cannot appear to get gnome panel running. Help would be appreciated. | 20:41 |
| minimec | Zwei: Do the same thing. Shutdown the system, unplug wired network. Boot up and activate wireless via right click on panel applet. That should work. | 20:41 |
| guntbert | minimec: yes, and in the meantime I try to find the config of nm-applet to be able to mend that next time | 20:42 |

| Zwei | Wireless still does not work. | 20:48 |
| howlymowly | but the live cd does not come with the newest flash plug-in per defautl, does it, Jordan_U:)? | 20:49 |

| paul111 | gmonnie, i'm am using k3b & dumped brasero. | 21:39 |
| mvk | + the system tries to install a new 2.6.32 kernel automatically (as a security update)........ but of course i dont want this | 21:39 |
| gmonnie | :sebsebseb,using brasero currently, everytime i go to burn it ejects the disk, the disk i blank. Im just to burn a movie lol | 21:39 |
| minimec | mvk: YOu may find your kernel here http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ ;) | 21:40 |
| sebsebseb | gmonnie: yeah Brasero can go quite odd at times, K3B is rather nice :) | 21:40 |
| wessel | Hmm, it is still gray | 21:40 |
| mvk | minimec: i already got a kernel from there | 21:40 |
| wessel | ill try sudo poweroff - h | 21:40 |
| minimec | mvk: ok ;) | 21:40 |
| mvk | minimec: problem now is, the system (kubuntu) tries to autoupdate | 21:40 |
| mvk | back to 2.6.32 (im on 33-5) | 21:40 |
| sebsebseb | gmonnie: KDE though, so yeah will want to put on quite a bit of KDE stuff, if you haven't installed KDE apps before, but if your partition isn't a stupid size, then that shoudn't be an issue at all | 21:40 |
| kermit | how do i IRC with empathy? | 21:40 |
| mvk | minimec: if you read back.............. | 21:40 |

| CyrusSucksAtBT4 | What is that BT channel again? | 21:41 |
| mvk | without updating.. then updated :/ is this wrong? | 21:41 |
| gmonnie | :sebsebseb, yeah im having problems with k3b tool | 21:41 |
| sebsebseb | kermit: not sure, but Xchat or Konversation a KDE app would be better | 21:41 |
| cool3865_ | the link should be up there | 21:41 |
| bazhang | CyrusSucksAtBT4, #backtrack-linux | 21:41 |
| CyrusSucksAtBT4 | Thank you | 21:41 |
| sebsebseb | kermit: Konversation :) and when it comes to KDE apps well see above at what I sent to gmonnie | 21:41 |
| cool3865_ | [15:36] <cool3865_> Jordan_U: here is the LiveCD log http://pastebin.com/ABrk87cu | 21:41 |
| wessel | hmm, poweroff -h did the trick | 21:41 |
| dragon4ce | @kermit just select irc as protocol | 21:41 |
| wessel | my log out screen is normal now | 21:41 |
| wessel | strange.. | 21:41 |
| kermit | dragon4ce: it's not in the list | 21:42 |
| minimec | mvk: ??? kubuntu will install the recent kernels (unless if you remove the linux-image generic package), but it should always load the *.33 kernel, as that one is the newest. | 21:42 |
| paul111 | kermit, try to google..there are many..how to? | 21:42 |
| mvk | minimec: but if i let the autoupdater install it, it will use that as the new default? | 21:42 |
| mvk | and update grub? :S | 21:42 |
| bastid_raZor | mvk: possibly pin the older 2.6.32 kernel that is already installed but unused | 21:43 |
| gmonnie | Im trying out K3b, can somebody walk me through, to make sure im doing it right | 21:43 |
| celeritas | Veixes, do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop , then sudo Xorg -configure , then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start | 21:43 |
| minimec | mvk: no. I will use 'position 0' of the grub entry file, which is normally the newest kernel by number(!). So *.33 is the newest kernel. | 21:43 |
| mvk | bastid_raZor: pin? | 21:43 |
| dragon4ce | kermit: go to accounts, then click add and as protocol irc | 21:44 |
| bastid_raZor | !pinning | mvk | 21:44 |

| gmonnie | :sebsebseb, im running Kb3 and everytime i tryi to burn | 21:47 |
| minimec | mvk: that's the newest kernel and even if there are new *.32 kernel installs, the *.33 kernel will always be newer and therefore default ;) | 21:47 |
| sebsebseb | celeritas: ok are those games old and 2D or not? | 21:47 |
| sebsebseb | celeritas: ah competly wrong one | 21:47 |
| jda2000 | Nitro, you might want to install VMWare or wine. | 21:47 |

| Nitro | sebsebseb: Oh no | 21:48 |
| bastid_raZor | mvk: does kubuntu use synaptic? if so you can pin it that way. | 21:48 |
| Nitro | sebsebseb: not at all | 21:48 |
| sebsebseb | [Screamo]: ok not the best idea, but not a big deal either | 21:48 |
| Walex | Nitro: I quite like Crossover Games, it has a small price but works pretty well, and they contribute back to WINE. | 21:48 |
| minimec | mvk: YOu don't need pinning or so. YOu can remove the linux-image-generic package to prevent further *.32 upgrades. | 21:48 |
| sebsebseb | Nitro: well then good luck with Wine | 21:48 |

| mvk | gentlemen ..................... FiGHT! ;) | 21:48 |
| celeritas | Veixes, you need to kill your xserver by stop the desktop manager. if you are using gnome, then service stop gdm. kde is service stop kde | 21:48 |
| sebsebseb | Nitro: well Wine is a very good program, but | 21:48 |
| bastid_raZor | mvk: no. | 21:48 |
| minimec | mvk: Just believe me. I don't have to fight ;) | 21:48 |
| sebsebseb | Nitro: it is about luck | 21:48 |
| [Screamo] | sebsebseb, as i said, accident, but uh, on windows there were uttilites to recover them, any for linux? | 21:48 |
| sebsebseb | Nitro: if your lucky the program you want to run works well in it | 21:49 |
| mvk | bastid_raZor: minimec: you guys have a different understanding of how it works | 21:49 |
| sebsebseb | Nitro: or can be configured without not much effort to work well in it | 21:49 |

| bastid_raZor | minimec: future updates will not work the way they are intended if you remove the linux-image as it will remove kubuntu-destkop meta package | 21:49 |

| mvk | brb | 21:50 |

| sebrock_ | SlidingHorn, yeah I was thinking more of a text file just listing everything | 21:50 |

| SlidingHorn | sebrock_, I think that's as close as you're going to get, to be honest | 21:51 |

| bastid_raZor | !clone | sebrock_ is a way.. read the list it creates | 21:51 |
| ubottu | sebrock_ is a way.. read the list it creates: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 21:51 |

| hasnobrains_ | hello | 21:51 |
| paul111 | ManDay, ctrl + shift+i | 21:52 |
| bastid_raZor | sebsebseb: 'my-packages' file will have them lised | 21:52 |

| SlidingHorn | prince_jammys: from his description, it sounded like that was the case...we asked him if it was & he confirmed...that's all there is. no more need to talk about it :) | 22:07 |
| bouta | but i dont know how | 22:07 |
| dragon4ce | bouta: as a backup you mean? | 22:07 |
| sebsebseb | when it comes to games people though | 22:07 |
| sebsebseb | you don't really need to run loads of WIndows games inside Ubuntu | 22:07 |
| bouta | no i want to reinstall windows | 22:07 |
| sebsebseb | 1. there are good native games. 2. you could buy a games console | 22:07 |
| harman | apt-fast doesn't downloads Dependecies of Dependencies using axel , any workaround for this ? | 22:07 |
| sebsebseb | !games | 22:07 |
| ubottu | Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php | 22:07 |
| prince_jammys | yeah, no need to talk about it. If someone has an ISO and no CD, we'll accuse them of piracy. | 22:07 |
| bouta | on my DD I have 3 partition | 22:07 |
| SlidingHorn | harman: apt-get build-dep? | 22:08 |
| sebsebseb | SlidingHorn: well other people might be reading this, now or later on, so I thought I would put the above :) | 22:08 |
| dragon4ce | bouta: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ | 22:08 |
| dragon4ce | bouta: this might help | 22:08 |
| harman | i m not trying to build deps | 22:08 |
| bouta | thank you very much | 22:08 |
| harman | debs | 22:08 |
| bouta | i will try this | 22:08 |
| bouta | :) | 22:08 |
| sebsebseb | SlidingHorn: the amount of people that want to do Windows games though :( | 22:09 |
| dragon4ce | bouta: a vottre service ;) | 22:09 |
| SlidingHorn | prince_jammys, not necessarily, but if they're talking about an .iso of "windows" like he did (although it's not what he had), 9.99999 times out of 10 that's going to be a pirated copy | 22:09 |
| bouta | :) | 22:09 |
| sebsebseb | prince_jammys: yeah first he told us it was Windows, then he later on told us it was a game | 22:09 |
| prince_jammys | ok | 22:09 |
| derdon | windows *is* a game | 22:09 |

| celeritas | sebsebseb, i think he means a windows game | 22:10 |
| sebsebseb | SlidingHorn: indeed if its an ISO of commercial software 99% of the time it will be pirated | 22:10 |
| kermit | derdon: all GUIs are a game | 22:10 |
| Akiraa | I am trying to get the KVM hypervisor to work with the most recent Ubuntu server (10.04 LTS Lucid). I am following the instructions here: http://www.ideyatech.com/2010/05/virtualization-with-ubuntu-1004-lucid-lynx/ . Using a fresh install of ubuntu server 10.04 and a desktop ubuntu to run virt-manager. The problem is that when I try to invoke virt-manager -c qemu+ssh://192.168.1.23/system (where 192.168.1.23 is the local IP of the server) from the deskto | 22:10 |
| Akiraa | p system, I get the following error message in the client GUI: "Unable to open a connection to the libvirt management daemon." http://pastebin.com/24j6q5UE | 22:10 |
| FloodBot3 | Akiraa: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:10 |
| dragon4ce | slidinghorn: i keep my win cds in iso's too because i always scratch my cds ;) | 22:10 |
| derdon | kermit, yes but windows one of the harder ones | 22:10 |
| sebsebseb | dragon4ce: yeah its a good idea to copy a legal copy into ISO, but ah copy protection | 22:10 |
| derdon | kermit, I always fail with the blue enemy in level 7 | 22:10 |
| prince_jammys | dragon4ce: just take a photo or something, since 99.999% of the time you're doing something illegal. | 22:10 |
| dragon4ce | i dont need help with it, just mentioning it ;) | 22:11 |
| dragon4ce | win iso's doesnt always mean illegal | 22:11 |
| corecode | hey | 22:11 |
| corecode | how would i install ubuntu on a new hdd? | 22:12 |
| sebsebseb | corecode: easy | 22:12 |
| corecode | i put a hdd on my current ubuntu box | 22:12 |
| sebsebseb | corecode: if you already got Ubuntu though, why do you want to install it again? | 22:12 |
| corecode | but i don't have a cd rom drive or so | 22:12 |
| corecode | sebsebseb: a new hdd | 22:12 |
| corecode | sebsebseb: for a different box | 22:12 |
| sebsebseb | corecode: uhmm you can copy your current install to the new hard disk | 22:12 |
| josemi | #Murcia | 22:12 |
| sebsebseb | corecode: is that what you want to do? | 22:13 |
| corecode | sebsebseb: no, i want to install a new copy | 22:13 |
| sebsebseb | corecode: ok | 22:13 |
| corecode | sebsebseb: i was thinking of using qemu etc, but maybe there is something better | 22:13 |
| dragon4ce | without a dvd you can install it from a usb stick | 22:13 |
| sebsebseb | corecode: well how did you instal lit last time? if you have no CD drive? | 22:13 |
| chrometiger | Sebsebseb: i would love to know how to do that my self for when i get a new hd do you have a link to a good tutorial on it ? | 22:13 |
| celeritas | corecode, can you temporarily install a drive. should be easier than any software solution | 22:13 |
| sebsebseb | corecode: yes you can virtual machine Ubuntu as well | 22:13 |
| sebsebseb | chrometiger: yes | 22:13 |
| sebsebseb | celeritas: seems so | 22:13 |
| corecode | well i could partition manually + debootstrap | 22:14 |
| corecode | but i suppse it is easier to use the installer or some other readymade solution | 22:14 |
| HaPK | hai people | 22:14 |
| dragon4ce | corecode: without a dvd you can install it from a usb stick | 22:14 |
| derdon | or from CD :P | 22:14 |
| corecode | yea, i'd like to avoid using that other machine | 22:15 |
| dragon4ce | derdon: he doesnt have a vd drive he just said ;) | 22:15 |
| sebsebseb | chrometiger: http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/7096/ | 22:15 |

| celeritas | HaPK, is the printer installed? | 22:16 |
| dragon4ce | corecode: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick | 22:16 |
| sebsebseb | chrometiger: np | 22:16 |
| sebsebseb | corecode: see above for install stuff | 22:16 |
| HaPK | celeritas, it appears in the printers | 22:16 |
| sebsebseb | corecode: so net install or USB those are options when no CD. net install you like send the kernel over from another kernel and such, never done it myself | 22:16 |
| ggeronimo | asda | 22:16 |
| sebsebseb | corecode: send it over from another computer I mean | 22:16 |
| sebsebseb | over LAN | 22:16 |
| ggeronimo | alguem ai? | 22:16 |
| corecode | yea, but all that doesn't involve "installing" onto a new drive without rebooting any machine | 22:17 |
| SlidingHorn | !br|ggeronimo | 22:17 |
| ubottu | ggeronimo: Entre em #ubuntu-br usando /join #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 22:17 |
| sebsebseb | corecode: as far as I know, you can't install it onto a new drive, without re booting the machine | 22:17 |
| HaPK | I just bought an hp printer, a deskjet d2660 but it won't print. can anyone help me? I'm in lucid | 22:17 |
| corecode | sebsebseb: ok, then i'll use qemu or vmware | 22:17 |
| sebsebseb | !cups | HaPK | 22:17 |

| BiggFREE | iso | 22:18 |
| SlidingHorn | corecode, sebsebseb +1 on virtualbox :) | 22:18 |
| leonardo | how can i change the resolution in a dell c600 i want to be 1024x768 | 22:18 |
| sebsebseb | corecode: qemu is an emulater | 22:18 |
| SlidingHorn | !res|leonardo | 22:18 |
| ubottu | leonardo: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 22:18 |
| sebsebseb | corecode: emulates hardware to let you run an OS, so yeah basically virtualization as well | 22:18 |
| sebsebseb | corecode: VMware and Virtualbox are virtual machine software | 22:18 |
| corecode | all the same | 22:18 |
| === charlie is now known as grumete | ||
| sebsebseb | corecode: you don't run a pshyical hard disk OS install | 22:18 |
| sebsebseb | in virtual machine software | 22:18 |
| test__ | test | 22:18 |
| dragon4ce | corecode: except vmware isnt open-source | 22:19 |
| sebsebseb | corecode: unless its set up to, and well you would need it on the hard disk first | 22:19 |
| corecode | yea, virtualbox also not really so | 22:19 |
| paul111 | vmware $$ | virtualbox free | 22:19 |
| sebsebseb | corecode: A virtual machine, lets you run another OS, inside a virtual machine program, inside the OS that is pshyically installed onto the hard disk | 22:19 |
| corecode | vmware player is free too | 22:19 |
| bastid_raZor | vmware offers a free vmware-player that will run existing vm's | 22:19 |
| corecode | sebsebseb: never mind, i know about virtual machines and qemu | 22:20 |

| ubottu | corecode: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 22:20 |
| sebsebseb | corecode: so running Ubuntu like that, when your already running Ubuntu, would useaully be a bit silly | 22:20 |
| Jordan_U | corecode: Why don't you want to reboot? | 22:20 |
| corecode | guntbert: yes? your point? | 22:20 |
| sebsebseb | corecode: right, but you make it sound like you want to run a pshyical install from your other hard disk, in vm software, in the install your running now | 22:20 |
| corecode | Jordan_U: because my setup prevents me from doing so without inflicting major pain | 22:20 |
| Jordan_U | corecode: What is your setup? | 22:21 |
| guntbert | corecode: discussing two different virtualization products is not on topic in this channel | 22:21 |
| corecode | guntbert: not me who started, read the backlog and tell it to the right person | 22:21 |
| sebsebseb | corecode: so when you installed your new hard disk, what did you do? open case, with computer still on, and attached it? | 22:21 |
| birdtoe | i need help installing ubuntu please | 22:22 |
| sebsebseb | birdtoe: ok | 22:22 |
| sebsebseb | birdtoe: right so never done Ubuntu before? | 22:22 |
| corecode | sebsebseb: yes | 22:22 |
| dragon4ce | corecode: what? | 22:22 |
| bazhang | !install | birdtoe please read this | 22:22 |
| ubottu | birdtoe please read this: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

| Jordan_U | corecode: It is trivial to set this up with qemu/kvm (single short command), but you have to be *very* carefull that nothing in the host tries to access the drive at the same time. | 22:22 |
| sebsebseb | birdtoe: also the manual covers how to set up a basic install | 22:23 |
| greezmunkey | corecode: probably not a good idea there... | 22:23 |
| corecode | Jordan_U: yea, no sweat about that | 22:23 |
| sebsebseb | !manual | birdtoe | 22:23 |
| ubottu | birdtoe: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 22:23 |
| corecode | oh, a totally unrelated question: | 22:23 |
| birdtoe | i am trying to install it onto a removable hard drive, but when i run the install it wont let me choose that hard drive to partition | 22:23 |
| Jordan_U | corecode: Even mounting ext4 read only can actually cause writes if it needs to replay the journal. | 22:23 |
| sebsebseb | birdtoe: ok on an external hard disk? | 22:24 |
| birdtoe | ya, whatever | 22:24 |
| corecode | somehow something keeps accessing my hdds so that they never spin down, or quickly spin up again | 22:24 |
| sebsebseb | birdtoe: uhmmm do it on the Live CD and install to the external, that should work | 22:24 |
| xomp | hello, trying to run "screen" but am getting an error:- screen -S server -R | 22:24 |
| xomp | Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/0' - please check. | 22:24 |
| corecode | i know that smartd does this, but also something else does so too | 22:24 |
| sebsebseb | birdtoe: however I think that install you put on there, will only work on one computer, or something like that | 22:24 |
| birdtoe | i was installing from a flash drive, are you sure that wont work? | 22:25 |
| sebsebseb | birdtoe: ok flash drive, not external hard disk | 22:25 |
| Jordan_U | birdtoe: Try "sudo apt-get remove dmraid" | 22:25 |
| sebsebseb | !usb | birdtoe | 22:25 |
| ubottu | birdtoe: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 22:25 |
| sebsebseb | Jordan_U: uhmm what would that do? | 22:25 |

| pwh | Is tracker or beagle now the _standard_ for 10.04 desktop search? Synaptic implies neither. | 22:27 |
| Akiraa | Is there a tutorial on how to get KVM virtualization going on Ubuntu server 10.14 LTS (Lucid)? I tried following this: http://www.ideyatech.com/2010/05/virtualization-with-ubuntu-1004-lucid-lynx my problem is in the comment section | 22:27 |
| SlidingHorn | pwh: i believe catfish is | 22:27 |
| xomp | Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/0' - please check. <- anyone know how to fix? Trying to run screen as an unprivledged user. | 22:27 |
| Jordan_U | corecode: Again, be very carefull with this command. I am not responsible if this command kills your cat... "sudo kvm -cdrom /path/to/ubuntu_installer.iso /dev/sdb -boot d" (make sure that /dev/sdb is the drive you want to install to) | 22:27 |
| pwh | SlidingHorn: Doh! Thanks. | 22:27 |
| paul111 | birdtoe, copy the iso in the external hdd and mount and install in it. | 22:28 |
| corecode | Jordan_U: yea, thanks | 22:28 |
| corecode | Jordan_U: i know how to work it | 22:28 |
| Jordan_U | corecode: You're welcome. | 22:28 |
| sebsebseb | Akiraa: try #ubuntu-server | 22:28 |
| guntbert | xomp: try it on a virtual console (press ctrl+alt+F1, log in) | 22:28 |
| birdtoe | right, on the website it has instructions to install, it gives you the choice to use a live cd or a flash drive, i chose the flash drive, however when i try to install it i get to step 4 (partitioning), i choose the manual partition, but it wont allow mw to use the external hard drive | 22:29 |
| pwh | SlidingHorn: Looks like Catfish is just a frontend, to either slocate, tracker or beagle etc | 22:29 |
| xomp | guntbert, I'm currently switched to the user via "su user" | 22:29 |
| prince_jammys | xomp: that's why | 22:29 |
| sebsebseb | birdtoe: to put Ubuntu on a USB, you need the ISO | 22:29 |
| guntbert | xomp: as prince_jammys said, but it will work in a vitual console | 22:30 |
| birdtoe | so i have to put the iso that i installed on the flash drive onto the external hard drive? | 22:30 |
| monkey_dust | admins, what are Arcadyan and Wistron_cd? | 22:30 |
| guntbert | *virtual | 22:30 |
| xomp | ok so ctrl+alt+f1 and try this huh? | 22:30 |
| sebsebseb | birdtoe: ok now I understand, you want to use a bootable USB, to install to external hard drive | 22:30 |
| birdtoe | yes | 22:30 |
| sebsebseb | birdtoe: so you went on the USB instructions? | 22:30 |
| Jordan_U | birdtoe: Did you try the command I gave? | 22:30 |
| xomp | ok, thanks guys \o | 22:30 |
| birdtoe | what command | 22:31 |
| Jordan_U | birdtoe: Try "sudo apt-get remove dmraid" | 22:31 |
| birdtoe | i dont know how to do that, i am new to ubuntu | 22:31 |

| leonardo | why can it like ubuntu | 22:35 |
| Eko | Hey guys. Just switched to ubuntu... how do I configure upstart services? There seems to be a lot of legacy documentation about the init/rc system, and nothing about setting up what starts up when with upstart, let alone a graphical tool for it. | 22:35 |
| dragon4ce | leonardo: u tried xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768 ? | 22:35 |
| HaPK | I installed this hp deskjet d2660 printer but it won't print! what can I do? | 22:36 |
| sebsebseb | !upstart | 22:36 |
| ubottu | Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 22:36 |
| leonardo | i just run sudo gedit etc x11 xorg.conf | 22:36 |
| sebsebseb | Eko: yeah a lot of the documention is old, but by 10.10 it seems a lot of it will be re done on a newer sub site | 22:36 |
| sebsebseb | Eko: well same site, but re done , or something | 22:36 |
| Eko | sebsebseb, Yes, I read through that, but I can't find any of the files that are supposed to have those event and startup setups | 22:36 |
| leonardo | and i change the resolution | 22:36 |
| birdtoe | if i run that command what will it do? | 22:37 |
| Jordan_U | birdtoe: It will uninstall the software that deals with Fake RAID. My guess is that your hard drive is being incorrectly identified as being FakeRAID and that is why the installer is refusing to install to it. | 22:37 |
| sebsebseb | Jordan_U: why did you say remove isntead of purge? | 22:37 |
| sebsebseb | Jordan_U: I mean I go with purge for ages now | 22:37 |
| birdtoe | ok | 22:37 |
| Berxwedan | can you guys recommend a distro other than ubuntu/ubuntu-based | 22:37 |

| Eko | Berxwedan: That depends entirely on what you want to do with it... I'd recommend Slackware or Debian if you want slightly lower level, and Gentoo if you like ultimate control of everything. | 22:38 |
| Berxwedan | a distro which can handle dependencies for me, which i can get latest stable softwares from their package system | 22:38 |
| sebsebseb | SlidingHorn: uh not at you | 22:38 |
| Jordan_U | sebsebseb: Left over config files in a live session don't hurt anything, and "remove" is my reflex (I like being able to reinstall an app later and still have my old configuration) | 22:38 |

| jkalex05 | hey guys for dual booting ubuntu on windows 7 do I do a normal install like I would have done on vista | 23:04 |
| jkalex05 | windows installed first | 23:04 |
| dragon4ce | jeus: seems like its locked by synaptic or something. do you have any other program openend? | 23:05 |
| cousteau | is it feasible to make a "dewubifier" program? i.e. a program that creates a new partition, copies the Ubuntu installed under wubi there, uninstalls it from Windows, and sets Grub | 23:05 |
| cousteau | it would probably need to be run from a LiveCD | 23:05 |
| Blueskaj | jkalex05, yes | 23:05 |
| ActionParsnip | jkalex05: install win7 to a portion of the space, if you don't use 100% of the disk space for the windows partition you can avoid the whole resizing regmerall | 23:05 |
| augdawg | does anyone have any idea why gedit would run slowly when yesterday it worked perfectly fine? | 23:05 |
| IdleOne | !wubi | I think there is a migrating section on this page | 23:05 |

| jkalex05 | but dont i want to set up a second partition for ubuntu by itself | 23:06 |
| dragon4ce | jeus: ahh please try: ps -ef | grep apt | 23:06 |

| michael__ | hi | 23:06 |
| ActionParsnip | jkalex05: win7 is installed to a partition. I believe win7 can resize its own partition if you havent left free space | 23:06 |
| ActionParsnip | manevra: should be yes | 23:07 |
| manevra | ActionParsnip there is no need to make any special settings, i just create the usb drive as directed from ubuntu home page | 23:07 |
| augdawg | SlidingHorn: could it be that i have quake terminal, gpodder, gnome do, skype, dropbox, beagle, checkgmail, tomboy, and xchat running in the background? | 23:07 |
| manevra | i jus follow the instructions there right ? | 23:07 |

| Alan502 | Hi, i'm setting up a virtual machine to share its internet connection to my ubuntu host. I already managed to establish a network between my ubuntu host and my windows guest but i'm missing the last step, share the connection!! normally i would do it with the windows utility but in this virtualized network it does not seem to work :| can somebody help me? | 23:08 |
| jeus | dragon4ce, http://paste.ideaslabs.com/show/CBJFQ3xSD | 23:08 |
| augdawg | okay thanks SlidingHorn, ill check my processes! thanks again! | 23:08 |
| ubuntu_ | is Lubuntu good für "beginners"? | 23:08 |
| ActionParsnip | jkalex05: yes, you can resize your windows partition in windows7. This will give you space to throw linux on | 23:08 |
| SlidingHorn | augdawg, sure thing | 23:08 |
| jkalex05 | ya | 23:08 |
| jkalex05 | thats what i meant from the beginning | 23:08 |
| michael__ | hi | 23:08 |
| jkalex05 | you were confusing me | 23:08 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu_: i'd say not as much as Ubuntu but its a great distro | 23:08 |
| ubuntu_ | oh, ok ;) | 23:09 |
| dragon4ce | jeuys: and now try sudo apt-get remove mysql && sudo apt-get install mysql | 23:09 |
| SlidingHorn | ubuntu_, well, it depends what you're looking for in a "beginner's" setup...to be honest, ubuntu itself would probably be the best bet, as there are more poeple using it and that means better support, since it's community based :) | 23:09 |
| kermit | when i install firefox-3.5, 3.6 gets installed.. how do i install 3.5? | 23:09 |
| ubuntu_ | ok ;) | 23:09 |
| Alan502 | i know sharing an internet connection between windows and linux cannot be that difficult | 23:10 |
| dragon4ce | jeus: and now try sudo apt-get remove mysql && sudo apt-get install mysql | 23:10 |
| SlidingHorn | Alan502, are you sharing the connection *from* windows or *to* windows? | 23:10 |
| Alan502 | SlidingHorn, from windows to linux | 23:10 |
| Alan502 | SlidingHorn, ubuntu 9.10 :d | 23:11 |

| jeus | any body guide me to install mysql | 23:14 |

| BFCkilla | no augdawg09 | 23:18 |
| jkalex05 | thanks alan502 | 23:18 |
| sebsebseb | kermit: why downgrade Firefox? not really the best idea also | 23:18 |
| bazhang | BFCkilla, do you have an actual support question? | 23:18 |
| jkalex05 | ubuntu seems too easy | 23:18 |
| augdawg09 | really? thats so weird. | 23:18 |
| kermit | augdawg09: heh i've had a hard time STOPPING it from doing that | 23:18 |
| sebsebseb | kermit: since you won't get the later security fixes | 23:18 |
| kermit | augdawg09: because thats the default behavior | 23:18 |
| SlidingHorn | augdawg09, right click your network manager applet (by your clock) and select edit connections...find the one to automatically connect and check the "Automatically connect to this network" box | 23:18 |
| jkalex05 | it feels like all gui and no more terminal anymore | 23:18 |
| augdawg09 | kermit: how do you get it to do that? | 23:18 |
| stevecam | suprengr, just install xchat in synaptics and uninstall xchat-gnome | 23:18 |
| jeus | BFCkilla, thank you | 23:18 |
| BFCkilla | cool | 23:18 |
| kermit | augdawg09: once you've connected before, it seems it'll do it automaticly by default | 23:18 |
| ActionParsnip | jkalex05: it can be both | 23:19 |
| Alan502 | jkalex05, yw :) it's really a great site, i teaches you the very basics. It does not talk about iptables or other important apps on linux... but that should be great to start :D | 23:19 |

| BFCkilla | kermit, wrong | 23:19 |

| BFCkilla | u have to delete all the files in your hom directory augdawg09 | 23:19 |
| BFCkilla | then it will work | 23:19 |
| ActionParsnip | jkalex05: some situations lean towards command line but there are a lot of guis for stuff | 23:19 |

| * maco grumbles about getting ops-pinged /after/ bazhang has already dealt with it | 23:20 | |
| jkalex05 | sorry | 23:20 |
| jkalex05 | didnt know | 23:20 |
| jpds | maco: lag. | 23:21 |
| suprengr | stevecam: ;D | 23:21 |
| jkalex05 | so what does that command even do? | 23:21 |
| augdawg09 | thanks that looks like it worked. | 23:21 |
| stevecam | suprengr, it's supposed to be a clone, its not made by xchat | 23:21 |
| IdleOne | jkalex05: it will delete everything in / | 23:21 |
| colorlessprism | jkalex05, it removes EVERYTHING | 23:21 |
| jkalex05 | lol | 23:21 |
| IdleOne | it isn't funny | 23:22 |
| SlidingHorn | jkalex05: it formats your filesystem...with no warning or check. Do *NOT* post that command here. | 23:22 |
| jkalex05 | ya | 23:22 |
| jkalex05 | bot already warned me | 23:22 |
| jkalex05 | sorry im a linux noobie | 23:22 |
| clayg | for whatever reason (just installed the new distro) hiting ctrl-alt-f1 does not bring up a terminal, is that a setting that is turned off or is it broke? How can i make it work? | 23:22 |
| SlidingHorn | jkalex05, just making sure it's explicitly clear :) no need to apologize | 23:23 |
| colorlessprism | jkalex05, it is important to understand what any command does, linux assumes you know what your doing and does not usually give warnings | 23:23 |
| jkalex05 | ya | 23:23 |
| suprengr | stevecam: if that's a clone - i'll use a phone! [wow - i'm a poet as well] | 23:23 |

| sean-laptop | hi all i have an issue with the newest emesene.. its to do with a plugin | 23:23 |
| colorlessprism | jkalex05, DONT like user friendly? ubuntu is not the distro for you then | 23:24 |
| jkalex05 | well | 23:24 |
| jkalex05 | i mean compared to windows | 23:24 |
| ActionParsnip | !games | jkalex05 | 23:24 |

| jkalex05 | cool thx | 23:24 |
| augdawg09 | okay guys im really, really, sorry, but my rhythmbox applet wont come up. i click the icon and the little menu will not come up. | 23:24 |
| augdawg09 | i have no clue what to do. | 23:24 |
| augdawg09 | i rebooted, thinking it would make it better, and it didnt. | 23:25 |
| kazagistar | jkalex05: I have been playing starcraft a lot recently, and it runs a lot better under wine then under windows, fewer graphical artifacts | 23:25 |
| Alan502 | augdawg09, what's the last thing you did related to rhythm-box? | 23:25 |
| kazagistar | jkalex05: I have found the same to be true of many older games | 23:25 |
| Alan502 | augdawg09, you can try sudo apt-get remove rhythmbox && sudo apt-get install rhythmbox | 23:26 |
| SlidingHorn | I haven't played starcraft in years....I should load it back up :) | 23:26 |
| joshmclvl1 | also augdawg:can you super+m the arrow key to it? | 23:26 |
| augdawg09 | Alan502: listen to shot of jaq. thats all ive been doind pretty much all day. | 23:26 |
| Alan502 | lol | 23:26 |
| Alan502 | sudo apt-get remove rhythmbox && sudo apt-get install rhythmbox should work | 23:26 |
| clayg | ctrl-alt=f1 does not bring up a terminal only f4 and f6 do, any ideas? | 23:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Alan502: if you add --purge to the command you will get vanilla config | 23:27 |
| k-rad | my neighbors play wifi shoot out games with me | 23:27 |
| Alan502 | ActionParsnip, ah yes | 23:27 |
| augdawg09 | joshmclvl1: im not sure exactly what you mean. | 23:27 |
| Alan502 | augdawg09, add ---purge to that command | 23:27 |

| slyboots | Anyone here used Deluge in Ubuntu? | 23:28 |
| Alan502 | sudo apt-get --purge remove rhythmbox && sudo apt-get install rhythmbox | 23:28 |
| * slyboots is running the daemon but for some baffling reason "download torrent by URL" doesnt work | 23:28 | |
| clayg | ctrl-alt=f1 does not bring up a terminal only f4 and f6 do, any ideas? | 23:28 |
| augdawg09 | joshmclvl1: that doesnt work either | 23:28 |
| augdawg09 | Alan502: so basically i have to entirely remove rhythmbox and then reinstall it? | 23:28 |
| Alan502 | augdawg09, i guess, that should smash up any problem you might have with the application | 23:29 |
| bivo | Why is wubi so stupid that it's redownloading UNR even though its running from off the install cd? | 23:29 |
| === Zi is now known as Zhwazi | ||
| Alan502 | augdawg09, you won't keep your configuration though, take notes of what your current configuration is | 23:29 |
| augdawg09 | so sudo apt --purge rhythmbox and then sudo apt-get install rhythmbox should work, right? | 23:30 |
| Alan502 | augdawg09, sudo apt-get remove --purge rhythmbox && sudo apt-get install rhythmbox | 23:30 |
| augdawg09 | okay thanks, let me try that... | 23:31 |

| joshmclvl1 | stercor:what context is the question in? there is a libgnome2-0, for example, that has 'runtime files' | 23:36 |

| danusr | hello, I am planning to start an internet cafe small business. Anyone knows if there is any application already there that may help me get control over the users? | 23:44 |
| wells | ActionParsnip: sorry but i'm trying to install a soft and i'm kind of lost | 23:44 |
| mrunknown | danusr: a large stick | 23:45 |
| bastid_raZor | wells: that may not work too well, but try either one. neither is meant to work with ubuntu and its dependencies | 23:45 |
| arpad2 | hello | 23:45 |
| arpad2 | how to reintall grub? | 23:45 |
| mrunknown | grub-install | 23:46 |
| wells | bastid_raZor: can you have a look at this tuto http://code-saturne.blogspot.com/2010/05/installation-of-salome-513-on-ubuntu.html | 23:46 |
| SlidingHorn | wells: you would want the etch version -- they don't have a lenny version -- bastid_raZor ActionParsnip: he was trying to install something on ubuntu that has installers only listed for debian -- was *kinda* ubuntu related | 23:46 |
| ActionParsnip | wells: if you have installed some weird debian deb then thats why | 23:46 |
| arpad2 | mrunknown: i can only boot win7 because it was reinstalled, and has overwritten grub | 23:47 |
| danusr | mrunknown, hehe, thats funny. | 23:47 |
| SlidingHorn | !grub|arpad2 | 23:48 |
| ubottu | arpad2: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 23:48 |
| wells | ActionParsnip: I did not install anything yet I just want to make shure things will go well | 23:48 |
| mrunknown | arpad2: grub-install [your boot device] should reinstall it to the MBR and replace the Win7 bootloader | 23:48 |
| mrunknown | danusr: but true... lol. What sort of control are you looking for? Website blocking? | 23:48 |
| wells | SlidingHorn: Tkx this will help :) | 23:49 |
| ActionParsnip | wells: then try: sudo apt-get -f install | 23:49 |
| arpad2 | thx mrunknown! | 23:49 |
| mrunknown | !grub2 | 23:49 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 23:49 |
| mrunknown | arpad2: I would suggest reading those links first though. You can make your computer unbootable if it is done wrong. | 23:50 |

| danusr | mrunknown, yeah. Actually, Im no expert at this, so I would like to know if it is possible to have the admin computer with linux and guest computers with windows 7 and have control to shut them down or restart them, etc... | 23:52 |

| Blueskaj | Chuck27, yes it's in dev stages | 23:53 |
| SlidingHorn | Chuck27, yes...it's codename is maverick meerkat -- it's an alpha version at this point...not recommended for personal use | 23:53 |
| Chuck27 | About how long until? | 23:53 |
| Blueskaj | !ubuntu 10.10 | 23:53 |
| gogeta | 6 months | 23:53 |
| augdawg | i figured it out! i just deleted and then reenabled the indicator applet and the menu is back now! yay!! | 23:53 |
| yoshiness | My flash player is being dumb. Would anyone be able to help? | 23:54 |
| Blueskaj | Chuck27, ask more in #ubuntu+1 | 23:54 |
| mrunknown | danusr: not sure offhand how to do that. You can install something like LogMeIn onto them which would let you see the desktop and work on it as if you were using it. Shutting down all the computers this way will be annoying though. | 23:54 |
| soreau | I put scripts in /etc/rc.local but they are no longer ran with 10.04, as they have been in past versions of ubuntu. Is there something I'm missing? | 23:54 |
| gogeta | i dont think thers even a +1 yet | 23:54 |
| soreau | I need to run scripts as root when the machine boots in 10.04 | 23:54 |
| SlidingHorn | Chuck27, target date is October 10, 2010 | 23:54 |
| gogeta | they dont start that untill betea | 23:54 |

| HowardTheDuck | SlidingHorn: thanks going now | 23:55 |
| lakitu | gogeta: thanks - recommended partition size? | 23:55 |
| gogeta | lakitu: less if you remove open office | 23:55 |
| soreau | koshari: Putting in rc.local no longer works | 23:55 |
| lakitu | infrequent use | 23:55 |
| koshari | soreau sorry, | 23:55 |
| soreau | So I need to know how to get things in /etc/rc.local to be ran at bootup | 23:56 |
| soreau | As of right now, they're not running at all | 23:56 |
| mrunknown | danusr: You should look into something like Microsoft SteadyState so the users don't ruin the computers. A reboot will fix them. You should also use some sort of gateway to scan for viruses and block websites. One called Untangle is pretty nice. | 23:56 |
| HowardTheDuck | oh yes dmg2iso didn't work. and i did change the path to the correct perl path | 23:56 |
| gogeta | lakitu: that depends on you minum would be 2gb but you whont be able to install mutch or as big as you think you need | 23:56 |

| SlidingHorn | yoshiness: it's probably because you haven't provided any details other than your flash player "being dumb" -- not much we can do to help without any information | 23:58 |

| yoshiness | It's just that it keeps getting pushed up | 23:58 |
| kermit | yoshiness: flash players are always being dumb, that's closed source software for you. | 23:58 |
| gogeta | lakitu: or you can just stick to the live cd for when you need it and not install anything | 23:59 |
