| suprengr | ChrisNZL: did you 'delete' or 'move to deleted items' | 00:05 |
| camt | ChrisNZL, You can look at a tool like PhotoRec if you did this very recently. | 00:05 |
| ChrisNZL | I highlighted them then hit delete key. | 00:05 |

| inaety | Hello all! I'm having some trouble getting my wireless broadcom card to work correctly on a 64bit install of 10.04. I installed the restricted drivers which I believe is the same as fwcutter but what happens is that it connects to my router but I lose internet after just a few seconds of browsing. After that I can't reconnect and the only way to do it is to restart and go through the same stuff again | 00:09 |

| bkadoctaj | inaety: nothing showed up in the Hardware Drivers applet? | 00:10 |
| blue_anna | the bookmarks tab keeps freezing up on me for a while in firefox | 00:10 |

| StaRetji | so, if somebody make precompiled package, like librtmp.deb | 00:10 |
| StaRetji | will it work? | 00:10 |

| blue_anna | wizard_2010, did you install adobe? | 00:17 |

| blue_anna | or swfdec= | 00:17 |
| blue_anna | swfdec is bad at flash | 00:17 |

| purpzey | How do specify tar to create a file to a specific path, is it just tar /path/to/file b/c that doesn't seem to be working. . . | 00:18 |
| wizard_2010 | it's just my cpu widget it hitting 99 when playing youtube | 00:19 |
| gogeta | wizard_2010: gnash tends to be the best oss flash | 00:19 |
| blue_anna | wizard_2010, as a workaround, you can try renice the process at the commandline: sudo renice +10 `pidof firefox-bin` | 00:19 |
| pflanze | purpzey: man tar, "tar c path/to/file" writes to stdout | 00:19 |
| blue_anna | wizard_2010, then it will just be slow, not your whole system | 00:19 |
| wizard_2010 | blue_anna, what will that command do | 00:20 |
| blue_anna | wizard_2010, nice is an adjustment to the scheduling priority.. higher numbers means less time. | 00:20 |
| blue_anna | wizard_2010, actually, since you are increasing it, instead of decreasing it, you don't need sudo | 00:20 |
| darko3d | audio and mic stops working on my dv5 laptop and the only way to get it to work is to restart, how do i fix that | 00:20 |
| wizard_2010 | gogeta, will I uninstall flash and install gnash plugin for firefox | 00:21 |
| purpzey | pflanze: How do I get it to create the tar to specified path? | 00:21 |
| gogeta | wizard_2010: better to use the offical flash if you can | 00:21 |
| hilem | whats the default method ubuntu 10.04 uses for auto-starting daemons? | 00:21 |
| gogeta | wizard_2010: unless you not x86 | 00:21 |

| wizard_2010 | gogeta, so just stick with it then | 00:21 |

I tried adding a new partition through Windows 7, but Ubuntu install can't see it exists and groups it with one of the system partitions, and in GParted I can reduce the size of my main partition, but I can't find any way to add new partitions since I can't | 01:19 |

| FoolishOwl | Loshki, it could have that, but mine doesn't. I've been trying to work out how resolv.conf is generated -- it's a complicated series of scripts. But, I think ultimately it gets the domain name from /etc/hosts, where I've set it, and the command "dnsdomainname" returns the right domain name. | 01:37 |

| Loshki | wizard_2010: sorry, you've exhausted everything I know about l2tp. You can ask here every 15 minutes until someone smarter than me comes along... | 01:45 |
| FoolishOwl | I think that has to do with installing bind9 and the resolvconf package | 01:46 |

| xXEMO111Xx | list | 01:49 |
| Loshki | Davin: well that sounds about right. Is there any unallocated space? If not, which partition is largest? | 01:49 |
| FoolishOwl | r007, it's "brian-desktop", and the fqdn is "brian-desktop.civ". (Since it's an rfc1918 address, I can just make up my own TLD). | 01:50 |
| Smntha256 | is any1 available to help me config Polipo? nothing fancy, just want it to work with TOR, tried the config @ torproject w/ no luck. | 01:50 |
| Davin | sda3 is the largest partition, at around 450 GB, and right now I have as pending shrinking it from that size down to break off 100 GB as unallocated | 01:50 |
| Davin | roo7, I can set that up as pending to shrink, but then GParted won't let me make a new partition when I try that because of the whole... 4 primary partitions already thing | 01:51 |
| ownsyouall | When ever i try to run glxgears it dosen't run and pops up in terminal saying segmentation fault? any ideas why this happing? | 01:51 |
| shoopdawoop | Davin: the problem is, once you change the partitioning of your drive, your win7 might not find the 'recovery' and the 'hp_tools' anymore aftwerwards | 01:52 |
| queso | Why does ctrl-alt-del not kill X anymore? And why, when I hit ctrl-alt-del, does it not even give me the *option* to kill X? | 01:52 |
| ownsyouall | they turned it off | 01:52 |
| shoopdawoop | Davin: as in the tools using those partitions might not find it anymore | 01:52 |
| ownsyouall | you can enable it again in keyboard settings queso | 01:52 |
| queso | Why does the stupid "indicator" app keep hogging 100% of my CPU? Why when I kill it does my ability to LOG OUT disappear? | 01:53 |
| queso | Some bad decisions have been made with Ubuntu and it's pissing me off. | 01:53 |
| Davin | shoopdawoop Depending on how deep that goes, might be something I'd risk, as I do have the disks from HP to do a factory install, as well as recovery it that way. Though the last time I tried this, I messed up something with sda4 and lost the ability to boot Windows at all, which does concern me | 01:54 |
| Smntha256 | does any1 know where I can go to get help configng polipo? | 01:54 |
| queso | The keyboard shortcut for ctrl-alt-del says "Log out." In fact, it doesn't give me the option to log out, it gives me the option to reboot. | 01:55 |
| ownsyouall | does any1 know why i get a segmentation fault in running glxgears? | 01:55 |
| queso | So how do I get the "kill X" option back in my keyboard shortcuts? It's not even there. | 01:56 |
| Loshki | Smntha256: I used this http://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-unix.html.en. It worked, but I think I used privoxy instead. It was a while ago... | 01:57 |
| ownsyouall | go > system > prefences > keyboard >layout tab > options > keysequence to kill x server | 01:57 |
| wizard_2010 | please help with Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: ia32-libs|lib32stdc++5 | 01:58 |
| wizard_2010 | how do I install this | 01:58 |
| Loshki | !dontzap | queso | 01:58 |
| ubottu | queso: To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap | 01:58 |
| queso | ownsyouall, Loshki: thank you | 01:58 |
| r007 | Davin image the partitions using partimage then delete the hptools part | 01:59 |
| Smntha256 | Loshki: I'll check it out, thx. If it doesn't work Ill use privoxy...then be back asking why privoxy isnt working! :) | 01:59 |
| ownsyouall | wizard try removing the | between them | 01:59 |
| Loshki | Smntha256: :-) | 01:59 |
| shoopdawoop | Davin: looks like you can remove the recovery partition without breaking your win7 install http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&docname=c00608578#N2208 | 01:59 |
| wizard_2010 | please help with Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: ia32-libs|lib32stdc++5 | 01:59 |
| FullFlannelJacke | OK, I just did an update (libpoppler and libgnomekdb4) and now compiz has stopped working. Compositing is broken. | 02:01 |
| Loshki | Davin: depending on how lucky you feel, I would delete sda4, shrink sda3, then recreated sda4 as 'extended' and install ubuntu to it. You may also need to add a swap partition... | 02:01 |
| wizard_2010 | please help with Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: ia32-libs|lib32stdc++5 | 02:01 |
| Loshki | wizard_2010: where did that message come from? | 02:01 |
| Fosco999 | test | 02:02 |
| wizard_2010 | Loshki, A app called sopcast-player | 02:02 |
| Davin | r007, partimage seems to only work on certain file formats, at least according to GParted, HP_TOOLS is listed as an unknown file system | 02:03 |
| r007 | Davin ahh so its not ntfs sounds like HP's suck | 02:03 |
| Davin | shoopdawoop I do like the sound of that... esp as in theory if one OS breaks, I'll have one working to get stuff off still, I think, and I've got the recovery disks to do a full reinstall if I have to | 02:04 |
| duffydack | dd if/dev/zero | 02:04 |
| Davin | r007, I've firmly come to that conclusion about HP at the moment as well, since they're being annoying about this | 02:04 |
| Loshki | wizard_2010: installed from repos, or source? | 02:04 |
| shoopdawoop | Davin: I have a hp laptop that came with all this recovery hp_tools and whatnot bullshit. decided I wont bother with it and did a complete reinstall with my own paritioning | 02:04 |
| duffydack | dd if=/dev/zero | 02:04 |
| Loshki | duffydack: careful with that command, you can wreak havoc if you get it wrong... | 02:05 |
| duffydack | Loshki, no output..so its ok | 02:05 |
| wizard_2010 | Loshki, from a website i donwloaded the file then tried to run it got the error | 02:05 |
| Davin | Loshki I think I may well go the test of luck and just hope I don't kill the laptop too badly later. May just have to be extra careful on keeping it backed up | 02:05 |
| FoolishOwl | Loshki, I think what I should do is add a "dns-search foo.bar" line to the static configuration in /etc/network/interfaces and see if that does it. | 02:05 |
| Loshki | FoolishOwl: dns-search is not documented in my version of the os (8.04).... | 02:06 |
| greezmunkey | FoolishOwl: try dns-nameservers {ip address} instead ;) | 02:07 |
| FoolishOwl | Loshki, nor in the man page for 10.04, but I've seen it mentioned elsewhere. Documentation sometimes lags. | 02:07 |
| FoolishOwl | greezmunkey, the nameservers are fine. | 02:07 |
| Loshki | wizard_2010: it sounds like it's meant for a 32 bit os, and you are running a 64 bit os. Is that right? | 02:08 |
| greezmunkey | FoolishOwl: in /interfaces that is... | 02:08 |
| wizard_2010 | Loshki, 64 bit is right | 02:08 |
| shoopdawoop | Davin: found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1400095 | 02:08 |
| Loshki | FoolishOwl: lags across two lts releases? That's hard to believe... | 02:09 |
| wizard_2010 | Loshki, when i do it for 64bit i get error rror: Dependency is not satisfiable: libstdc++5 | 02:09 |
| queso | My indicator-applet was constantly using 100% cpu, so I killed it, and reboot. Now it's gone off my panel. How do I get it back? My volume control is gone now. | 02:10 |
| Loshki | wizard_2010: does 'apt-cache search libstdc' find anything that looks useful? | 02:10 |
| shoopdawoop | Davin: bottom line of that forum thread is: delete the hp_tools partition and restore it later | 02:10 |
| |ns|nR8 | queso, rihgt click on task bar, add | 02:10 |
| shoopdawoop | so dont delete the recovery partition :) | 02:10 |
| linux_is_my_hero | hi im a young aspiring musician...what is the best way to generate noises of actual insturments without spending 2000 on protools? | 02:11 |
| queso | |ns|nR8: thx | 02:11 |
| IdleOne | linux_is_my_hero: you might want to ask in #ubuntustudio | 02:11 |
| Davin | shoopdawoop That looks like exactly the thing I've been searching for, thanks | 02:11 |
| wizard_2010 | Loshki, check this http://paste.ubuntu.com/452713/ | 02:11 |
| Loshki | !ubuntustudio | linux_is_my_hero check this out | 02:11 |
| ubottu | linux_is_my_hero check this out: UbuntuStudio is a collection of packages for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation. It contains all the best Audio/Visual components from the Ubuntu repositories. For more info and install instructions, join #ubuntustudio or see http://ubuntustudio.org | 02:11 |
| Loshki | wizard_2010: looks like the package is built for an older version. You could try installing libstdc++6 instead, but you might have to plant links to make it look like libstdc++5 | 02:13 |
| white_magic | is there a utility that would allow me to scan documents (in the regular scanner AND in the automatic document feeder) and then specify which directory to save it to, what format to save it in, all that | 02:13 |
| wizard_2010 | Loshki, would nt | 02:14 |
| Loshki | white_magic: gscan2pdf might do it for you, or vuescan, but in general, the linux scan stuff isn't as good as the windows stuff, sorry.... | 02:14 |
| wizard_2010 | Loshki, would not have a clue how to mate going to hit bed lol 2.14 wit work tomorrow have to give up to tomorrow lol thanks alot | 02:15 |

| Azh | hi guys, is there any way to restart the wireless connection in ubuntu trough ssh command? | 02:16 |
| white_magic | Loshki: funny thing, I couldnt find anything like i wanted on Windows, so I started looking for Linux equivalents so I could maybe see if any such project was ported to windows | 02:16 |
| Loshki | white_magic: :-). HermanDE is right, take a look at sane/xsane.... | 02:16 |
| white_magic | do you know which app in windows let you do things like pass a commandline argument that would specify which directory to save all documents that WILL BE SCANNED | 02:17 |
| white_magic | but yea i'll look at that one | 02:17 |
| r007 | Azh /etc/init.d/networking restart | 02:17 |
| Loshki | white_magic: for windows help, ask in #windows.... | 02:17 |
| white_magic | yea i did, some time ago | 02:17 |
| chemaher76 | some application similar like cheese in kde? | 02:17 |
| white_magic | didn't receive much help | 02:17 |
| Azh | roo7 do I just input that into the terminal, or is it a file i have to edit | 02:17 |
| Azh | sorry i'm a newbie | 02:18 |
| r007 | Azh into the terminal | 02:18 |
| Azh | okay i'll try it | 02:18 |
| Azh | sudo first, right? | 02:18 |
| Loshki | Azh: r007: don't forget the sudo first | 02:18 |
| HermanDE_ | white_magic, Do you use Ubuntu.... If you did you would find that sane works very well... | 02:19 |
| Azh | thanks | 02:19 |
| r007 | Azh no ssh would usually be logged on as root | 02:19 |
| r007 | Loshki ssh | 02:19 |
| Davin | thanks for the help, now it looks like I've got to dart out and buy a USB drive that'll handle the task, but hopefully I'll be dual booting by the end of the night if this works | 02:19 |
| HermanDE_ | white_magic, command line scaning in windows is almost forbidden..... | 02:19 |
| Loshki | r007: I don't *allow* root logins via ssh, actually... | 02:20 |
| HermanDE_ | white_magic, Take a look at creating a VB script.. | 02:20 |
| white_magic | hmmmm | 02:20 |
| white_magic | good idea | 02:20 |
| r007 | Loshiki I use ssh with servers | 02:20 |
| white_magic | great idea, in fact | 02:20 |
| Azh | weird, i the network connection didn't restart cause I didn't log off irc | 02:20 |
| Azh | i want to restart the wireless network connection | 02:20 |
| HermanDE_ | Azh, Or it restarted faster than you thought.... | 02:20 |
| Azh | but without getting disconnected from irc? | 02:20 |
| === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log | ||
| Loshki | r007: me too, but I don't allow root logins, I force them to login as a user with an ssh key and then sudo.... | 02:21 |
| r007 | Azh you might have to sudo on a desktop | 02:21 |
| === Davin is now known as Davin|SupplyGet | ||
| Azh | so it's not possible from ssh? | 02:21 |
| Azh | argh, i have to connect my montitor to my ubuntu box everytime | 02:22 |
| r007 | Loshki apart from the username you think it makes much more difference to security? | 02:22 |
| Loshki | Azh: you might be able to do sudo ifconfig down wlan0; sudo ifconfig ip wlan0 (or something like that) to bounce only the wireless interface | 02:22 |
| shoopdawoop | Davin|SupplyGet: still there? | 02:23 |
| Loshki | r007: to be honest, not really. The biggest difference has been moving sshd to a non-standard port. Pretty much cut down probes to zero... | 02:23 |
| shoopdawoop | Davin|SupplyGet: I might be mistaken, but if your notebook has a cd-drive you won't need an usb stick? | 02:23 |
| Loshki | Azh: sudo ifconfig up wlan0 <--- oops. Up, not Ip | 02:24 |
| Azh | thanks loshki, I'll try that too | 02:24 |
| Davin|SupplyGet | shoopdawoop The instructions seem to require taking stuff off there... would it work just moving it to my main HD for now? | 02:24 |
| shoopdawoop | Davin|SupplyGet: the ubs is only to boot from, because that specific model doenst have a cd drive | 02:25 |
| Azh | strange when I do sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart it only restarts my firestarter firewall and not the network connection itself | 02:25 |
| fonzi | hello | 02:26 |
| shoopdawoop | you can store the hp_tools partition on one of the other partitions (boot from live cd, mount those partitions, store hp_tools somewhere else) | 02:26 |
| Davin|SupplyGet | Shoopdawoop Ahhh.... in which case, I'll go grab my Ubuntu disk and do it that way, then, thanks | 02:26 |
| === Davin|SupplyGet is now known as Davin | ||

| clao | hey, i have xubuntu, and the panels are not showing up and the panel configuration contion does not work | 02:27 |
| Dr_Willis | Its getting wheres its easier to just buy a 2nd hard drive for a new laptop and put linux on that. and keep the oriignal HD with all the 'recovery' junk, somewhere safe.. | 02:27 |
| Loshki | Dr_Willis: couldn't agree more.... | 02:27 |
| Dr_Willis | Last laptop i had they wanted like $20 for actual recovery 'disks' - for $20 more I got a HD that was 2x the size of the original.. | 02:28 |
| clao | hey, i have xubuntu, and the panels are not showing up and the panel configuration option doesnt work, which log do i have to open to see what happened? | 02:28 |

| r007 | Azh or sudo ifdown wlan0 && sudo ifup wlan0 | 02:30 |
| thinkfast | so for example /themes/default copies to /themes/default1 | 02:30 |
| Dr_Willis | thinkfast: use the mv command,. | 02:30 |
| r007 | Azh should be wlan0 Im half asleep | 02:30 |
| Azh | hey roo7, i think is eth1 for me, i'm still trying to figure it out | 02:31 |
| r007 | what does ifconfig show? | 02:31 |
| shoopdawoop | thinkfast: do you want to move or copy? 'man mv' or 'man cp' | 02:31 |
| thinkfast | but i wont the /themes/default to remain | 02:31 |
| thinkfast | copy | 02:31 |
| Dr_Willis | then use 'cp' | 02:32 |

| r007 | Azh does it have an inet address? | 02:33 |
| r007 | Azh inet addr even | 02:33 |
| Azh | hmmm I don't see it | 02:33 |
| Azh | so weird why is my wireless eth1 when it should wlan0 | 02:34 |
| r007 | you did iwconfig not ifconfig nvm > need to wake up me | 02:34 |
| r007 | Azh what does ifconfig show? | 02:35 |
| ennui | does anyone here dual boot OSX and Ubuntu with grub2 as their only bootloader? | 02:35 |
| Azh | it shows eth0 and eth1 | 02:35 |
| Azh | eth0 is my wired | 02:36 |
| Azh | and eth1 is my wireless | 02:36 |
| r007 | Azh which one has an inet addr? | 02:36 |
| Azh | both do | 02:36 |
| Azh | now when i try sudo ifdown eth1, it says its not configured | 02:36 |
| r007 | Azh both have an Ip v4 ? | 02:37 |
| Azh | yup | 02:37 |

| adebaba | hello, | 02:38 |
| adebaba | i am new to this os | 02:38 |
| Dr_Willis | !manual | adebaba | 02:39 |
| adebaba | just wanna know | 02:39 |
| ubottu | adebaba: 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/ | 02:39 |
| FullFlannelJacke | OK, I just did an update (libpoppler and libgnomekdb4) and now compiz has stopped working. Compositing is broken. | 02:39 |
| FullFlannelJacke | anyone else with this problem? | 02:39 |
| adebaba | what if i want to print | 02:39 |
| adebaba | docs | 02:39 |
| adebaba | do i need to install the printer driver | 02:39 |
| r007 | Azh maybe rerun your firestarter setup | 02:40 |
| linbox | Hello. | 02:40 |
| Dr_Willis | adebaba: depends on the printer. It auto-installed the needed drivers formy printers here when i added it using the system -> admin -> printers tool | 02:40 |
| adebaba | iok | 02:40 |
| adebaba | sorry | 02:40 |
| Azh | i'm gonna keep unpluggin my orinoco card and plugging it back in, that restarts the wireless, but I wish I could do it trought the os | 02:40 |
| adebaba | meant ok | 02:40 |
| adebaba | but my question basically is this | 02:41 |
| r007 | sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart should | 02:41 |
| adebaba | i am currently runing a cyber cafe | 02:41 |
| adebaba | and am tired of viruses | 02:41 |
| Azh | roo7, I know it should, but only restarts firestarter | 02:41 |
| adebaba | attacking windows today and tomorrow | 02:42 |
| Azh | i should've done the iptables without firestarter, firestarter is such a pain | 02:42 |
| r007 | Azh exit firestarter you dont need it running its just a gui for iptables | 02:42 |
| adebaba | and i am thinking of migrating to this lovely os | 02:42 |
| adebaba | wanna | 02:42 |
| adebaba | know | 02:42 |
| Dr_Willis | adebaba: you can burn a dozen+ live cd's and put them in every machine. so you can test the os out if you want to. with no changes to the box;s | 02:42 |
| Azh | roo7, I exited the gui of firestarter, but I think the firewall might still be running | 02:42 |

| adebaba | how to create a workgroup | 02:43 |
| r007 | Azh sudo /etc/init.d/firestarter stop | 02:43 |
| Azh | okay | 02:43 |
| Azh | okay cool, so it was running | 02:44 |
| Azh | now lets see if I can restart the network | 02:44 |
| Dr_Willis | adebaba: install samba, and edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf as needed workgroup is defined in there. | 02:44 |
| Dr_Willis | adebaba: but why does a Cybercafe need a 'workgroup' ? | 02:44 |
| adebaba | i meant how do i create a workgroup for the comps on the network, and how can i share | 02:44 |
| Azh | Grrr, it just starts firestarter again, lol wtf | 02:44 |
| adebaba | cos i share some resources among the comps | 02:45 |
| Dr_Willis | adebaba: with windows box's you install and configure 'samba' and set up windows type shares | 02:45 |
| Dr_Willis | a total linux network can use NFS instead of samba, or other ways. | 02:45 |
| adebaba | okay | 02:45 |
| adebaba | most cafe billing softwares aint come in linux | 02:46 |
| r007 | Azh sounds like firestarter has modified the networking script in init.d | 02:46 |
| ennui | Question; I'm going to do a fresh install of Lucid on my macbook. What steps can I take to ensure I can access the drivers for the airport wireless (not included with 10.04 installation) if I have no means of connecting to the internet? Is there a way I could access the source code for the drivers on an external while running on the live CD and install it? Bassically I have no means of physically connecting my system to the net and would | 02:46 |
| ennui | really like a connection while installing from the live CD | 02:46 |
| Dr_Willis | No idea on cafe 'billing' | 02:46 |
| adebaba | can one run a windows version on this os | 02:46 |
| Azh | roo7, yeah looks like it, but maybe I need it to keep the ports open? | 02:47 |
| lovre | how can i hide window title bar, i can only configure it, but i would like to turn it off? | 02:47 |
| lovre | im using kde with ubuntu | 02:47 |
| r007 | Azh firestarter only makes changes to iptables | 02:48 |
| beilabs | anyone have any idea on how to change the domain that sendmail is using to send out emails? | 02:48 |
| adebaba | please one more thing, what is the name of this os am using now | 02:48 |
| linbox | hello | 02:48 |
| r007 | Azh iptables is always running regardless of firestarter | 02:48 |
| Dr_Willis | adebaba: we dont know what you are 'using' now - You can connect to irc from any IRC client.... what did you do to start/boot the pc? | 02:48 |
| adebaba | i downloade it from ymlf.com and burn it onto cd | 02:48 |
| Azh | what do I do roo7? uninstall firestarter? | 02:48 |
| FullFlannelJacke | OK, I just did a system update (libpoppler and libgnomekdb4) and now compiz has stopped working. Compositing is broken entirely. Anyone else have this problem? | 02:49 |
| r007 | Azh maybe let me see... | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | adebaba: and what did you download? If you are running your own cybercafe - you really should be paying attention to such things. | 02:49 |
| adebaba | it seems linux has different version, and that is why i like to know | 02:49 |
| adebaba | the os i installed on my pc now | 02:50 |
| linbox | There's many operating systems built upon Linux. Yes, there are many. | 02:50 |
| Dr_Willis | adebaba: correct theres 100's of linux distrubutions.. we CANT tell what you are using. | 02:50 |
| Dr_Willis | adebaba: so you need to pay attention to what disrto you downloaded and installed.. | 02:50 |
| adebaba | so, how do i know? | 02:50 |
| aplund | System > About? | 02:50 |
| Dr_Willis | adebaba: err... LOOK at the web site and the links you downloaded from? if you downloaded some iso file.. it proberly has some filename thats a hint.. | 02:51 |
| Azh | r007, also when I do sudo ifdown eth1 to try to stop the service it says, interface eth1 not configured | 02:51 |
| adebaba | ok will do that now | 02:51 |
| adebaba | brb | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | adebaba: if you want 'ubuntu' you shoudl be gettting uit from the ubuntu.com sites. | 02:51 |
| linbox | ^incredible. i don't know how you downloaded an OS, mounted the .iso on a disc, and then installed it, but don't know which distro! | 02:52 |
| Azh | hmm looks like it has something to do with roaming | 02:52 |
| PDG1 | heyhey... trying to get the webGUI working on my crunchbang box and I keep getting a 403 error. any thoughts? | 02:52 |
| r007 | Azh what about wlan0 | 02:52 |
| PDG1 | sorry... with Transmission | 02:53 |
| r007 | Azh sounds like your pc might have onboard wireless and the adapter you are using | 02:53 |
| Dr_Willis | PDG1: crunch bang is not even based on ubuntu any more last i checked.. | 02:53 |
| PDG1 | Dr_Willis, whaaat? really? | 02:53 |
| Azh | r007, samething interface wlan0 not configured | 02:53 |
| gbear14275 | can someone point me a a good nfs howto? I found this one for v3, but it hasn't been updated since 2006: http://nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-howto/index.html | 02:53 |
| gbear14275 | I'm really hoping to find something of that quality for v4 | 02:54 |
| Azh | and 100% sure it doesnt have onboard wireless | 02:54 |
| Dr_Willis | PDG1: and in any case its not an 'offically supported here' ubuntu variant - even if it was still based on ubuntu. | 02:54 |
| Azh | just my orinoco card | 02:54 |
| PDG1 | Dr_Willis, install was exactly like the Ubuntu install | 02:54 |
| Dr_Willis | PDG1: check crunchbang homepage. Im pretty suire they switched to Debian | 02:54 |
| shoopdawoop | Azh: what are you trying to do? | 02:54 |
| Dr_Willis | PDG1: could be you are on an older version. | 02:54 |
| mmc_ | 12345678 | 02:54 |
| ivo_ | mmc_? | 02:54 |
| Azh | shoopdawoop, I'm trying to restart eth1 | 02:55 |
| ennui | grub always fails to install for me when trying to install Lucid to my MacBook. | 02:55 |
| gbear14275 | nvm | 02:55 |
| PDG1 | Dr_Willis, maybe... any idea why transmission might do that tho? I did just install apache, think that has something to do with it? | 02:55 |
| Azh | ifdown and ifup doesn't work, neither does sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 02:55 |
| r007 | Azh what does lshw -C network show? | 02:56 |
| Dr_Willis | PDG1: as far as i know those apps dont require apache to have a web interface.. im using the latest 'transmission 2.00' version from a PPA also.. so its hard to telll | 02:56 |
| adebaba | it is called YLMF OS | 02:56 |
| adebaba | i think is developed by the chinese | 02:57 |
| PDG1 | Dr_Willis, yeah...I was trying to get fluxtorrent-b4rt to work and I got tired of looking at outdated tutorials and decided i was going to revert to tried and true transmission. now it's not working :( | 02:57 |
| motnit | the windows look alike? | 02:57 |
| Azh | roo7, it shows a bunch of stuff were you looking for something in particular? | 02:57 |
| Azh | it shows my wireless as network 1 | 02:58 |
| Azh | with the ip adress and everything | 02:58 |
| PDG1 | Dr_Willis, and #! ships with rtorrent which is good... if i could remember how to use it. | 02:58 |
| Dr_Willis | adebaba: never heard of it.. its not ubuntu. so its basically not supported here. | 02:58 |
| Dr_Willis | PDG1: takes me all of 20 sec to install rtorrent on ubuntu.. i dont see much need for #! basically | 02:58 |
| Azh | and my wired as network with the adress | 02:58 |
| r007 | PDG1 assuming apache is running 403 are generally caused by no default index being present i.e index.html, index.php etc | 02:58 |
| linbox | It's based on Ubuntu: http://www.ylmf.org/en/ | 02:58 |
| r007 | assuming duh me what would be returning the 403 lol | 02:59 |
| adebaba | linbox,i think so | 02:59 |
| bp0 | i have sound problems when playing video.. any other sounds made by th system are just loud static | 02:59 |
| PDG1 | Dr_Willis, i liked how it felt like Ubuntu and the small resource hunger | 02:59 |
| jasdevzingh | hi, my first time here how do i go about troubleshooting | 02:59 |
| motnit | ymlf is just skinned to look like windows | 02:59 |
| bp0 | what could be the problem? | 02:59 |
| adebaba | cos it has ubuntu softwre centre | 02:59 |
| linbox | adebaba Yes, the website claims it is. | 03:00 |
| r007 | Azh yeah whats listed as the logical name when you do lshw -C network | 03:00 |
| linbox | adebaba Your best bet is to install the original Ubuntu over it. It's better supported and easier to work with. | 03:00 |
| === root is now known as Guest7378 | ||
| PDG1 | Dr_Willis, do you have any suggestions for a small distro i could use instead that is easy to set up SMB ? | 03:01 |
| Azh | r007, I think i figured out, i found this info: As far as I am aware the ifupdown scripts only work with the /etc/network/interfaces file. So if your interface is not defined in there it won't be able to find it. Instead Network Manager is in control of all network interfaces by default | 03:01 |
| r007 | Azh ahh sounds logical | 03:02 |
| fade_ | I formatted some drives in gparted and now they won't let me write to them | 03:02 |
| fade_ | what do I do from here? | 03:02 |
| Dr_Willis | PDG1: samba is rather easy to set up on most any disrto. | 03:03 |
| Dr_Willis | PDG1: for small 'footprint' theres xubuntu and lubuntu . | 03:03 |
| Dr_Willis | fade_: what filesystem did you format them to? | 03:04 |
| fade_ | ext2 | 03:04 |
| fade_ | so I can still use them in windows | 03:04 |
| PDG1 | Dr_Willis, would you believe that i tried both of those and didn't like them much. but it might be because i tried 9.04... should i try an earlier one? | 03:05 |
| r007 | fade_ are they mounted what errors do you get when trying to write and how are you writing to them? | 03:05 |
| Dr_Willis | fade_: then you need to apply the normal 'linux' permissiomns and modes and ownership to the files/dirs on teh filesystem to let them be accessable by users | 03:05 |
| fade_ | no mount errors | 03:05 |
| fade_ | ahhh | 03:06 |
| Dr_Willis | fade_: mkdir /media/whatever/usersstuff | 03:06 |
| fade_ | so I will have to gksudo? | 03:06 |
| Dr_Willis | fade_: chown /media/whatever/ users name | 03:06 |
| fade_ | then change from root | 03:06 |
| fade_ | to anything else? | 03:06 |
| gbear14275 | ok I know this is kinda silly to ask in the ubuntu channel but... NFS server, ubuntu or debian base system? | 03:06 |
| Dr_Willis | you will need to do this as root yes. Time to learn about Linxu file permissiosn and owenrshio | 03:06 |

| PDG1 | aplund, well it just seems like my old computer used to Run Ubuntu great... and then i upgraded to 9.10 and then 10.04 and it got worse each time I upgraded. so I'm thinking of going back to 8.10 | 03:13 |
| r007 | fade_ no worries | 03:13 |
| fade_ | I really want to get used to terminal | 03:14 |
| fade_ | I should read up on it lol | 03:14 |
| aplund | PDG1: could be some configuration changes or kernel changes. it depends on your usage. | 03:14 |
| aplund | PDG1: but shouldn't be overly different (it's a regression if it is). | 03:14 |

| starwatcher | hi all, i have a question, I lost the ability to see in the task bar things that have been minimized, any idea how to get that back? | 03:24 |
| the_e | starwatcher, you need to edit your panel | 03:24 |
| fade_ | pidgin is awesome | 03:24 |
| dopple | the_e: imho its a crap client.. its bulky as all hell | 03:24 |
| Azh | it's not in there, | 03:24 |
| dopple | r007: 10.04 netbook | 03:24 |
| the_e | it is, but pidgin runs like a poorly made AJAX script | 03:24 |
| Azh | I use colloquy | 03:24 |
| Azh | it's nice, I like it | 03:24 |
| the_e | I want something with more Windows integration (which I love about Ubuntu and whatever it uses) | 03:24 |
| starwatcher | the_e what do i need to turn on? | 03:25 |
| r007 | add auto eth1 | 03:25 |

| dopple | r007: restricted drivers? | 03:27 |
| the_e | starwatcher I can't find it right now, but I think its in admin > preferences > panels and you drag it in | 03:27 |
| Barridus | i recently upgraded my router to a buffalo, and i can't connect to it via wpa. it keeps asking for the network key over and over (worked with an old netgear one) | 03:27 |

| dopple | im wondering if going back to the last version of ubuntu would be better.. not having a desktop is not cool | 03:30 |
| the_e | I didnt like the netbook version | 03:30 |
| r007 | dopple not to sure tbh but there seems to be some issues with intel chipsets and 10.04 | 03:30 |
| the_e | it had problems with bottom margin setting for me | 03:30 |
| dopple | the_e well arent they optimized for netbook hardware? | 03:31 |
| the_e | like 1/6 of the application launcher menu would go past my monitor resolution and i couldnt scroll to it | 03:31 |

What can you do once you get off the command line in the terminal (tt1 for example)...I can't use the command line on it. I can type, but can run commands. It's just a curser. | 03:50 |
| Zelozelos | julian_, i think its because its still running a process..but im also a noob | 03:51 |
| starwatcher | the_e you still there? | 03:52 |
| gogu | Gryllida, sorry 'Home is 30GB' | 03:52 |
| r007 | julian is it asking for a password? | 03:52 |
| julian_ | You're probably right Zelozelos. r007, no, I'd already logged in. | 03:53 |
| julian_ | I'd like to know how to "cancel" the various terminals I have running as well. | 03:53 |
| r007 | julian exit | 03:54 |
| julian_ | ic, yes. I used htop to terminate screen and now i have access to the console. I've seen people split screens in terminal, etc. How do I do that? | 03:54 |
| julian_ | Thanks r007, all I had to do was kill the process. | 03:55 |
| valbaca | julian i think most people who do that use terminate | 03:55 |
| r007 | julian if your running top or a man press q | 03:55 |
| Juanto | hey there. | 03:55 |
| julian_ | valbaca...terminate?...is that a program? | 03:55 |
| Juanto | i need help getting ubuntu booted. | 03:55 |

| r007 | Juanto what do you mean by booted? | 03:56 |
| Zelozelos | juanto what are u trying to do exactly? run it from a disk, install it, both? | 03:57 |
| valbaca | julian i meant "terminator" | 03:57 |
| Juanto | well, it starts to load, gets to the ubuntu splash screen and then freezes | 03:57 |
| julian_ | Juanto, you probably need to configure your BIOS to boot from cd-rom. | 03:57 |
| Juanto | nooo | 03:57 |
| Juanto | i've got it installed | 03:57 |
| Juanto | but like i said, it freezes after the splash screen | 03:57 |
| Juanto | and I can't get grub to let me into recovery mode. | 03:57 |
| Juanto | i'm at a loss right now. | 03:57 |

| julian_ | It loooks to me that Ubuntu 10.04 is unable to install screen-vs | 03:59 |
| Juanto | valbaca: i know the gpu gets locked up as per ctl - alt 1 | 03:59 |

| Zelozelos | mmoe, larry the cheese, the cheese woo woo woop woop woop rofl | 04:09 |
| r007 | xxiao php files? | 04:09 |
| xxiao_ | cannonfodder, try 'aptitude install cheese' then run it | 04:09 |
| joshua_roberts | Zelozelos: all I found was out was that it has not worked since 8.10 | 04:09 |

| xxiao_ | r007, ? php file | 04:09 |
| cannonfodder | thank you...doing now | 04:09 |

| Knat | I have ubuntu 10.04 on a remote server, I am trying to run an application but its crashing because it cant find a sound card.

| r007 | xxiao and whats your domain? | 04:11 |

| cannonfodder | hey thanks...cheese works...so my webcam is supported...but now, is there any messengers in ubutu that support webcam use? pidgin doesnt | 04:12 |
| joshua_roberts | it seems that sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg has not worked since 8.10. At least according to that post. | 04:12 |
| xxiao_ | r007, i'm testing it locally, my real domain currently runs LTS8.04/drupal(manually) | 04:12 |
| joshua_roberts | Zelozelos: it seems to be something to do with ubuntu wanting to make X more autodetect (or plug n play) | 04:12 |
| r007 | xxiao so theres no way I can see? | 04:13 |
| xxiao_ | true, even i can not see it at this point :( | 04:13 |
| joshua_roberts | Zelozelos: so I am going to try to configure it automatically | 04:13 |
| xxiao_ | the document on ubuntu/drupal is also not helpful at all, by now | 04:13 |
| xxiao_ | i'll debug more, something to do with htaccess most likely | 04:13 |
| r007 | xxiao what os is the server running and whats the php version | 04:13 |
| valbaca | julian i agree. I've gone through every linux distro i can find and have learned the most from slackware and arch. here's the arch website for screen-vs http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=6006 it has the tarballs (assuming you know how to install from a tarball) | 04:13 |
| xxiao_ | r007, it's LTS10.04 and all dependencies are resolved by 'aptitude install drupal6' automatically | 04:14 |
| darkghostfa | does anyone know how i could recursively convert all sound files into wav49? | 04:14 |

| xxiao_ | r007, true, good for starters to learn the basic components for a standard linux | 04:30 |
| r007 | !lfs | 04:30 |
| ubottu | LFS is linux from scratch www.linuxfromscratch.org; not to be confused with LTS which is the long term support version of ubuntu (6.06 and 8.04) | 04:30 |
| valbaca | xxiao maybe intermediate-linux users, i haven't met a single linux newbie who wanted to LFS | 04:31 |
| Sickler | i do valbaca | 04:31 |
| Sickler | but i have no idea how to start | 04:31 |

| valbaca | sickler try out gentoo, arch, and slack. if you can get all those going well you'll know what do to go to LFS | 04:32 |
| r007 | julian tinker breaqk stuff learn how to fix it thats the best way | 04:32 |
| valbaca | oh and learn C and python | 04:32 |
| Sickler | valbaca , im trying to install slack on a usb as we speak | 04:32 |
| valbaca | those will propel you into "advanced" | 04:32 |
| Sickler | and yea thats a large todo list i dont have time for | 04:33 |
| r007 | no need really to learn either language might help with shell scripts but you dont need to know either | 04:33 |

| julian_ | Thanks for the advice r007 and valbaca. *Wondering what to break first* :-) | 04:34 |
| Fanshawe | birdtoe, is that a notification saying the battery is broken? | 04:34 |
| valbaca | you'll definitely need to know your way around a command line well. being able to read/write a shell script comes in handy too | 04:34 |
| valbaca | birdtoe what kind of laptop? | 04:34 |
| Sickler | i can do some in th terminal but i dont get shell script at all | 04:35 |
| valbaca | orangey1 what module? | 04:35 |
| === orangey1 is now known as orangey | ||

| orangey | valbaca: I want to patch and remake qcserial | 04:35 |

| r007 | like valbaca said install gentoo or slack or even a BSD do it in a virtual box if you dont want to break your pc | 04:35 |
| aplund | how do I find out if a binary has debugging symbols or not? | 04:35 |
| julian_ | shell scripts are just smaller programs. you can write a script to log into another terminal for example. | 04:36 |

| Jeebs | Hey guys, I'm having a bit of trouble installing 10.04 on my computer at the moment (specifically creating an ext4 partition), anyone around who's good with this sort of stuff? | 04:37 |
| waveclaw | aplund: run file on the command. If it says stripped, then debugging symbols and other stuff was removed. You can usually get a debug symbols package for such programs, too. | 04:37 |
| r007 | Jeebs use ext3 | 04:37 |
| lakitwo | i am having troubles getting the font & background image to work with a hacked grub.cfg.. i can show you what i have: http://shorttext.com/xu4efuv2i6 | 04:37 |
| julian_ | ok folks, signing off! Thanks again. | 04:37 |
| Jeebs | I'm not sure that'll work to be honest | 04:37 |
| xxiao_ | r007, went to drupal channel, you're right php is too new for drupal on 10.04, need return to 9.10 | 04:37 |
| Jeebs | I haven't tried, but I still doubt it will work | 04:37 |
| Jeebs | I think it's more a hardware configuration option | 04:37 |
| valbaca | orangey it should be possible | 04:37 |
| xxiao_ | r007, i'm disappointed indeed, if drupal6 does not work under 10.04 then it should not be there in the first place | 04:38 |
| orangey | valbaca: I've done it before. I'm more asking how, not if | 04:38 |
| valbaca | orangey but it's beyond my knowledge at the moment | 04:38 |
| shwouchk | hello | 04:38 |
| r007 | Jeebs no offence but noobs always do use ext3 ext4 is still not perfect enough | 04:38 |
| shwouchk | how would I stop gdm from starting at boot? | 04:38 |
| orangey | valbaca: sorry, my question was poorly done, btw. | 04:38 |
| orangey | valbaca: thank you | 04:39 |
| Jeebs | It's giving me an error at 5% through installation that looks like this "The ext4 file system creation in partition #1 of Serial ATA RAID [random letters I cbf to copy down] (linear) failed." | 04:39 |
| Jeebs | There is no raid, software or otherwise on that hdd | 04:39 |
| r007 | Jeebs try and look at that error and read it | 04:39 |
| Jeebs | though there is another partition with windows xp on it | 04:40 |
| valbaca | shwouchk i'm looking into it, i know it's easy I just have to find it..... | 04:41 |
| imyousuf | Hi! Our company has recently procured Asus U30JC laptops with Intel Core i5 processor with 4GB ram and 500GB HDD. We are using Lucid Lynx in all the laptops. In our usage we are facing 2 strange problems when we put the laptop to suspend it does not go to sleep mode and can not be resumed, needs a hard restart. And when we put it to hibernate it does not switch off but it resumes when power button is pressed. Can someone please help me resolve these issu | 04:41 |
| valbaca | do you want to stop it everytime or just once? | 04:41 |
| r007 | Jeebs ext3 or make sure windows hasnt raided your drives | 04:41 |
| Jeebs | and if ext3 doesn't work? | 04:41 |
| shwouchk | valbaca: Thanks. I should mention that I already ran update-rc.d -f gdm remove and it didn't help | 04:42 |
| xxiao_ | shwouchk, use update-rc.d -or-, /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 04:42 |
| shwouchk | xxiao_: did rc.d and didn't work | 04:42 |
| shwouchk | xxiao_: meaning I still get it at boot | 04:43 |
| r007 | imyousuf one think ubuntu is bad with is power management Ive had to disable apic on all laptop installs and no moniyor utils actually manage the battery | 04:43 |
| r007 | but laptops are shit | 04:43 |
| imyousuf | r007: well, I have currently set power management to blank the display | 04:44 |
| imyousuf | but suspending is very basic functionality required with laptop usage :( Any idea how to get it to work? | 04:44 |
| imyousuf | or how I could help debug the problem so that someone could fix it? | 04:45 |
| r007 | imyousuf from my experience with laptops and Linux its been because the bios is crippled | 04:45 |
| xxiao_ | shwouchk, have you checked gdm symlinks under /etc/rc*.d | 04:45 |
| orangey | hmmmm. | 04:46 |
| imyousuf | r007: hmm, strange it works with older Asus, Dell, Acer laptops only the latest Asus laptops that the problem is with :( - so updating the bios would solve it? | 04:46 |
| xxiao_ | update-rc.d really should work, otherwise it's a bug i think | 04:46 |

| orangey | at the very least I recalled an easy way to compile kernels, which I can't find now | 04:46 |
| valbaca | imyousuf I know this is a lame answer, but be sure to install the most recent updates. with new laptops, there isn't much to do besides wait for drivers to be added to the kernel | 04:47 |

| maco | r007: apic or acpi? apic isnt power management related | 04:48 |
| maco | r007: also, watch your language | 04:48 |
| maco | imyousuf: you only think suspending is very basic because you've never had to decipher a poorly written BIOS ;-) | 04:48 |
| loopidity | is there a log of the devices that connect to my wireless network? | 04:48 |
| r007 | maco acpi yes | 04:48 |

| Alan502 | HI! I just need some help with sharing the Internet connection sharing: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1514078 | 04:50 |
| airtonix | greetings, having issues with localhost/127.0.0.1 only responding when a network device is up. | 04:50 |
| loopidity | valbaca my wireless network is created by me, so i do not even know the AP | 04:51 |
| swtchrly08 | hi everyone | 04:51 |
| airtonix | Alan502, if you have UFW installed you could use that to do it. (i also believe that the network-manager has some support for it ) | 04:51 |
| valbaca | loopidity do you mean you're using internet sharing from your computer? | 04:51 |
| Davin | Two part question. Hopefully, these are both quickish answers. 1) To create a new extended partition that will be subdivided into logical partitions in GParted, do I select the entire free space and then break it up after that? 2) For setting up Ubuntu, does the formula of / of 20 GB, swap of 8 GB (I've got 4 GB RAM), and the remaining as /home sound sensible? | 04:52 |
| ]Alex[ | CIAOOO a tuTTi da ]Alex[ | 04:52 |
| loopidity | i have a ppp0 connection and the wireless is created out of it valbaca, if that makes sense | 04:52 |
| CaNoc1 | hello, does pulseaudio, alsa have something like ASIO in windows? | 04:52 |
| === CaNoc1 is now known as CaNoc | ||
| r007 | Davin yes select all the free space and create an extended... | 04:52 |
| r007 | Davin then create a logical within | 04:53 |
| valbaca | Davin 2) yes, you'll find with 4GB of RAM the swap will be used very little. you could get by with 4 or even 2 GB | 04:53 |
| Davin | r007, Ok good, the first part seemed like that was how it would go, but wanted to check. | 04:53 |
| Ray78 | anybody ever installed Flying angel UMTS USB modem on Ubuntu? | 04:53 |
| airtonix | Alan502, ah i see, windows actually has an option to bridge two network devices when you highlight them both, or you can get properties of the wan device and choose to share its connection | 04:53 |
| valbaca | loopidity yes that makes sense, i'm going to do some searching to find an answer | 04:54 |
| swtchrly08 | has anyone tried win7 theme? | 04:54 |
| airtonix | greetings, having issues with localhost/127.0.0.1 only responding when a network device is up. | 04:54 |
| loopidity | Ray78 i installed hdspa/umts usb for infostrada | 04:54 |
| Davin | valbaca Yeah, from what I've read, it seems it's not going to get used too much, but figured I'd err on safe side as Ubuntu alone is getting 128 GB between those three things, and since I'm using this for science research, I figured i'd err on side of having more space for swap to work with than less since I don't think a couple gig one way or the other will hurt me for data storage | 04:55 |
| Alan502_ | HI! I just need some help with sharing the Internet connection sharing: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1514078 | 04:55 |
| Ray78 | loopidity, anything from the software center i need to installed | 04:55 |
| r007 | airtonix it will only respond when a network device is up as something putting it in laymans has to answer the door | 04:55 |
| airtonix | Alan502_, you should really ask this question in #windows | 04:55 |
| valbaca | Davin I agree then. 8GB swap sounds good then | 04:55 |
| Alan502_ | airtonix, hmmm i think it has to do with setting up my ubuntu host use the virtual machine as a gateway | 04:56 |
| loopidity | Ray78 when you connect the usb, does it load? | 04:56 |
| Alan502_ | airtonix, did you read my post? | 04:56 |
| loopidity | Ray78 maybe a cd drive comes up, or something | 04:56 |
| airtonix | r007, ok, if for example i disconnect all wifi and unplug all lan cables... i can not : ping localhost, or access http://localhost. reconnect any network connect (regardless if it gives me internet access) then localhost responds as expected | 04:56 |
| Davin | valbaca awesome, and 20 GB should be plenty for root then? My first Ubuntu experience so not entirely sure yet on the importance of that, so making sure I'm set from the start | 04:57 |
| Ray78 | loopidity, the CD only came with MacOX .pkg folder.. i dont know if that can be use | 04:57 |
| airtonix | Alan502_, yes, have you already tried to use the standard methods to share a network connection in windows ? | 04:57 |
| r007 | airtonix and thats normal as you have no network connection | 04:57 |
| airtonix | r007, no its not. | 04:57 |
| Alan502_ | airtonix, yeah, i've done what would normally work on a physical network | 04:57 |
| imyousuf | valbaca: Thanks, we already did apt-get update and upgrade, but to no avail | 04:57 |
| loopidity | Ray78 i mean, when I put my usb, a virtual cd rom auto loads, | 04:58 |
| klenwell | anyone have a suggestion for good bash command for checking whether a package is available in a repo? My best: $ sudo apt-cache showpkg foo | grep 'Package: foo' | 04:58 |
| r007 | airtonix localhost or not what do you expect to cary your network request carrier pigieons? | 04:58 |
| Alan502_ | airtonix, seriously i feel like i'm missing only the last step!! | 04:58 |
| loopidity | Ray78 anything like that for you? | 04:58 |
| valbaca | Davin I would put more. remember, all your programs, var, tmp, etc. all go under / | 04:58 |
| imyousuf | maco: I do understand that implementation is difficult but the feature is basic ;) | 04:58 |
| Ray78 | loopidity, yup.. got the Cd mount | 04:58 |
| airtonix | r007, you understand what localhost is ? | 04:58 |
| r007 | local or external you stll need network services | 04:58 |
| r007 | so do you? | 04:58 |
| Alan502_ | airtonix, i think its kind of a problem with the interface, since it's not using eth0 but vboxnet0 | 04:59 |
| airtonix | r007, 127.0.0.1 should work regardless if i have a network connection. | 04:59 |
| imyousuf | maco: will follow the wiki link and create a bug, thanks for the direction! | 04:59 |
| loopidity | Ray78 the eject the cd rom(by right clicking) but do not remove the usb | 04:59 |
| Ray78 | loopidity, i browse the CD (mounted) and find .pkg folder for MacOS but nothing for linux | 04:59 |
| r007 | no it wont | 04:59 |
| valbaca | imyousuf i agree that it is basic, but unfortunately there is a lag-time between new laptops coming out and being able to be fully usable under linux | 04:59 |
| airtonix | r007, it always has for me | 04:59 |
| Ray78 | loopidity, ejected | 04:59 |
| Alan502_ | airtonix, any ideas? | 04:59 |
| r007 | you need a network interface otherwise your machine is stand alone | 05:00 |
| loopidity | Ray78 wait for a few seconds and it should remount | 05:00 |
| airtonix | r007, i dont think you actually understand what 127.0.0.1 is | 05:00 |
| ZaxEZ | lol | 05:00 |
| Ray78 | loopidity, yup.. remount to TF-UMTS MMC Storage | 05:00 |
| r007 | I actually do I dont think you understand what uses 127.0.01 | 05:00 |
| r007 | 127.0.0.1 even | 05:01 |
| xxiao_ | r007, aritonix is right, you don't need a network whatsoever when 127.0.0.1 is used | 05:01 |
| Davin | valbaca, particular number you'd recommend? some of the online stuff I was finding was ranging 10 to 20 GB, but system sizes always going up put stuff out of date over time. Does another 10 GB go far enough, or would I not be at any disadvantage if I just had seperate partitions for root and for swap, but not for home (as some things say I can do) so that I don't have to guess the space it needs ahead of time? | 05:01 |
| r007 | what do you think it sends out on your cd-rom? | 05:01 |
| Traveler1 | i need help trying to get my tv to display ubuntu | 05:01 |

| Googolplex | anyone in here have experience with wireshark | 05:02 |
| hydr0tux | Hi guys :) | 05:02 |
| Traveler1 | how do i edit the xorg.conf | 05:02 |
| ne7work | what is this software channel? | 05:02 |
| airtonix | Alan502_, its been a long time since i used windows, but i do remember that you need to have both the lan and the wan devices appearing in network-places for windows to offer the ICS feature | 05:02 |
| coldpizza | Weeeee | 05:02 |
| swtchrly08 | googolplex, on windows | 05:02 |
| ne7work | when I install skype this says me to new version on software channel? | 05:03 |
| ne7work | how can I go to software channel? | 05:03 |
| airtonix | Alan502_, do you see the vboxnet0 device in network-places ? | 05:03 |
| ne7work | what is this? | 05:03 |
| coldpizza | airtonix: Just do this. | 05:03 |
| hydr0tux | When using VMware with NAT and my ETH0 firewalled with iptabels, this automaticly makes my NAT connection secure for windows right ? | 05:03 |
| r007 | you need a network adapter to use localhost | 05:03 |
| hydr0tux | and there for I don't need any firewall on windows os ? | 05:03 |
| valbaca | Davin most of the time I don't even bother with giving /home its own partition, that way its just / and swap | 05:03 |
| Pr3nt1c3 | I'm trying to play hedgewars with some friends.... but game isn't even starting... as in nothing happens | 05:03 |
| Alan502_ | airtonix, windows has a wizard called "home connection" or whatever, but i already set it up so it would share its internet connection | 05:03 |
| Pr3nt1c3 | ideas? | 05:03 |
| loopidity | Googolplex a little bit, did crack my neighbour's wep | 05:03 |
| r007 | or a network connection | 05:03 |
| Traveler1 | how do i edit xorg.conf | 05:04 |
| Alan502_ | airtonix, yes, it is on windows connections :) | 05:04 |
| Juanto | effff | 05:04 |
| Ray78 | loopidity, what should i do next.. how am i supposed to dial from here | 05:04 |
| loopidity | Ray78 right click on the the network manager on the top panel, is there Mobile broadband? | 05:04 |
| airtonix | Alan502_, so now you just need to have ubuntu use vboxnet as its default gateway | 05:04 |
| Alan502_ | airtonix, not as vboxnet0 though, windows names them Local Area Connection #1,2,3.... | 05:04 |
| Alan502_ | airtonix, exactly! | 05:04 |
| Juanto | anyone good with configing nvidia gpus? | 05:04 |
| === Spliffeh is now known as Xenox | ||
| Alan502_ | airtonix, i don't know how to do it though :( | 05:04 |
| jdsbluedevl | hi, can anyone help with my network connection? For some reason, Ubuntu recognizes the two Ethernet cards I put in, but refuses to connect. Could this be a hardware problem, or is this a software problem? | 05:04 |
| Pr3nt1c3 | I uninstaled the game... and reinstalledbut still... _nothing_ | 05:04 |
| airtonix | Alan502_, when you use ifconfig does vboxnet0 have its own mac address ? | 05:04 |
| coldpizza | Wow. | 05:05 |
| loopidity | Traveler1 /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d maybe | 05:05 |
| Ray78 | loopidity, not in the detected list | 05:05 |
| hiexpo | loopidity, - be careful what you say as to illegal content please we do not promote illegal activities in anyway | 05:05 |
| hydr0tux | any ideas ? | 05:05 |
| Alan502_ | airtonix, let me see.. | 05:05 |
| Pr3nt1c3 | I've even rebooted | 05:05 |
| Pr3nt1c3 | but still... epic fail | 05:05 |
| airtonix | Alan502_, also check that it has an ip address (it should in theory be 10.0.2.2) | 05:05 |
| Traveler1 | this is illegal what im asking for? | 05:06 |
| r007 | Traveler1 nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf (case might not be exact) | 05:06 |
| airtonix | Traveler1, what makes you think that ? | 05:06 |
| Traveler1 | someone sad that | 05:06 |
| swtchrly08 | has anyone tried win7 theme | 05:06 |
| Davin | valbaca Alright, thanks... then if it doesn't make much of a difference, I'll just do swap and / and not try and do /home as a separate partition. Easier on me if it won't be a problem for me | 05:06 |
| airtonix | !ot | swtchrly08 | 05:06 |

| theadmin | Pr3nt1c3: ? | 05:07 |
| theadmin | swtchrly08: Not a support question, so #ubuntu-offtopic | 05:07 |
| airtonix | Alan502_, no its fine, what you need to do though is create a network connection with network manager in ubuntu with the ip address of vboxnet0 as your gateway. | 05:07 |
| loopidity | Ray78 Systems-->preference-->network connection | 05:08 |
| Pr3nt1c3 | I've tried starting hedewars like.... 15 times now.. but I can't even get an error msg | 05:08 |
| theadmin | swtchrly08: Also, there is a TON of Windows-7-like themes out there, not just one :P | 05:08 |
| r007 | lmao htf can you think you can do network communication without an actual network connection | 05:08 |
| Pr3nt1c3 | wtf s going on? | 05:08 |

| ubottu | Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 05:08 |
| Alan502_ | airtonix, and i have to put the mac adress of vboxnet0? | 05:08 |
| jdsbluedevl | hi, can anyone help with my network connection? For some reason, Ubuntu recognizes the two Ethernet cards I put in, but refuses to connect. Could this be a hardware problem, or is this a software problem? | 05:08 |
| airtonix | Alan502_, so assuming the vboxnet0 is 192.168.56.1, you would set a "manual" adress of : 192.168.56.10 subnetmask : 255.255.255.0 gateway : 192.168.56.1 | 05:08 |
| Davin | this may be a dumb question, but do i need to worry about the order of the partitions? either swap before / or / before swap? | 05:09 |
| Ray78 | loopidity, i already put in the detail in there but i dont know how to use | 05:09 |
| Googolplex | hey im lookin for someone with experience with wireshark just have a couple general questions | 05:09 |
| airtonix | Alan502_, it would help narrow the connection down to the device to use. you can enter the mac address on the first tab. | 05:09 |
| theadmin | Googolplex: Well, ask them, if someone knows, someone will answer. | 05:09 |
| r007 | Davin dont matter | 05:09 |
| Googolplex | in wireshark is it possible to analyze packets over the network from more than just your own machine? | 05:09 |
| Davin | r007 thanks, making sure the final leg of this goes smoothly, so im being cautious | 05:09 |
| airtonix | Alan502_, you'll also want to insert opendns dns server ip address in the dns server field : 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220 | 05:09 |
| hiexpo | !wireshark | Googolplex | 05:10 |

| theadmin | airtonix: Well, how come there is first and third but no second? :/ I guess that's because I just deleted the second one lols, let's see if replugging it will help | 05:11 |
| Pr3nt1c3 | how do I get hedgewars to run in lucid? | 05:11 |
| hydr0tux | shwouchk, I'm using Ubuntu linux as my main os with iptables. | 05:11 |
| hydr0tux | shwouchk, and installed windows xp on vm | 05:11 |
| Traveler1 | how do i force screen res | 05:12 |
| shwouchk | hydr0tux: oh, iptables are hard | 05:12 |

| hydr0tux | shwouchk, would that automaticly protect my windows ? | 05:12 |
| theadmin | Yeah it works... Hm. Whatever :D | 05:12 |

| jdsbluedevl | hi, can anyone help with my network connection? For some reason, Ubuntu recognizes the two Ethernet cards I put in, but refuses to connect. Could this be a hardware problem, or is this a software problem? | 05:12 |
| hiexpo | dooglus, google wireshark it is kinda off topic here there are lots of great tutorials out there you need to go to torrents and do a search for wireshark and download the book there is a lot to it | 05:12 |
| zipper | hey any1 good in podcast programs? | 05:12 |
| hydr0tux | hydr0tux, all I need to know is this, will my windows box be behind iptables too? | 05:12 |
| r007 | he thinks you dont need a network adapter for network communication | 05:12 |
| shwouchk | hydr0tux: yes | 05:12 |
| hydr0tux | shwouchk, since I use NAT right ? | 05:12 |
| airtonix | hydr0tux, to someone who hasn't written them before it is overwhelming ... specially compared to ufw rules | 05:12 |
| shwouchk | hydr0tux: yes | 05:13 |
| hydr0tux | shwouchk, thank you :) | 05:13 |
| xxiao_ | shwouchk, how do you disable gdm under upstart? | 05:13 |

| hydr0tux | airtonix, its not hard if you know what you doing, I just havent used vm much | 05:13 |
| r007 | hydr0tux iptables is blank on ubuntu by default | 05:13 |
| airtonix | hydr0tux, iptables... not vmware. | 05:13 |
| hydr0tux | r007, of course mate :) | 05:13 |
| shwouchk | xxiao_: what I did eventually was edit /etc/init/gdm.conf | 05:13 |
| Traveler1 | anyone know how to force screen res | 05:14 |
| hydr0tux | r007, I created my own iptables rules and using specail deamon | 05:14 |

| === trevor is now known as Yarrgh | ||
| airtonix | hydr0tux, ? you said iptables syntax is easy. its clearly not. | 05:14 |
| hydr0tux | hydr0tux, what do you mean iptables ... not vmware ? | 05:14 |

| shwouchk | xxiao_: I agree. Do you have a different solution that works however? | 05:15 |
| hydr0tux | thank you for help guys :D | 05:15 |
| r007 | Jeebs did I not suggest you try ext3 | 05:15 |
| Jeebs | yes | 05:15 |
| Jeebs | And I tried it | 05:15 |
| r007 | did you? | 05:15 |

| loopidity | ray78 u there? sorry my connection is poor | 05:17 |
| zeronice1 | vane: what were you doing before it happened? | 05:17 |
| Pr3nt1c3 | why isn't hedge working? I have set-up permissions, user-groups, and related stuff... but all I get i a quick 'flash' on the screen before nothing happens | 05:17 |
| Jeruvy | jdsbluedevl: have you tried disabling one of them? | 05:17 |
| Pr3nt1c3 | can anyone using lucid help? | 05:17 |
| jdsbluedevl | jeruvy: no, don't think so | 05:17 |
| jdsbluedevl | jeruvy: how would I do that? | 05:17 |
| r007 | hydr0tux no | 05:17 |
| hydr0tux | Pr3nt1c3, sup ? | 05:17 |
| theadmin | nvclocknoob: No, it just can't find the directory where you try to mount. Also, you mount NTFS devices using another command, like this: "sudo ntfs-3g PARTITION MOUNTPOINT" | 05:18 |
| hydr0tux | r007, never mind then :) | 05:18 |
| Pr3nt1c3 | hydr0tux, I've got hedgewars installed.... and I've re-installed it 2x..... but I can't play | 05:18 |
| Jeebs | ok, so I have windows 7 and xp installed, xp is installed on the drive in questions. Right now I'm in 7 though. Do you know how I would diagnose if it was raided? Would I have to do it from xp? | 05:18 |
| hydr0tux | Pr3nt1c3, what exactly you trying to do mate? | 05:18 |
| Pr3nt1c3 | I have all the 'needed' pkgs installed | 05:18 |
| vane | zeronice1, i don't know i was out of the city, and my little syster was playing on the pc | 05:18 |
| Pr3nt1c3 | I'm just trying to play game with some friends | 05:18 |
| Ray78 | loopidity, yup still here | 05:18 |
| Pr3nt1c3 | but game won't start | 05:18 |
| Jeruvy | jdsbluedevl: you should be able to do it directly from the network manage, typically a icon in the top right if you're using gnome. | 05:19 |
| Ray78 | loopidity, there is a tab for mobile broadband in the Network Connection | 05:19 |
| r007 | you have too love the response yes then 10 mins later when they have actually done it | 05:19 |
| hydr0tux | Pr3nt1c3, oh yeah, don't do games sorry mate. | 05:19 |
| loopidity | Ray78 add | 05:19 |
| loopidity | Ray78 see if that shows the usb drive | 05:19 |
| jdsbluedevl | jeruvy: ok, well, I'm in the Network Manager, what now? How do I disable one of the cards? | 05:19 |
| zeronice1 | vane: that could be bad lol. | 05:19 |
| === mike is now known as Guest55118 | ||
| r007 | what happened to the people who thought they didnt need a nic to do localhost | 05:19 |
| airtonix | xxiao, i just discovered my localhost issue is with chromium only. all other browsers will access localhost fine regardless of network connection status | 05:20 |
| vane | zeronice1, can you help me please?? | 05:20 |
| hydr0tux | any one using XChat here ? | 05:20 |
| Ray78 | loopidity, cant see the device | 05:20 |
| xxiao_ | shwouchk, so far the safest way to disable gdm is rename /etc/init/gdm.conf to anything else, e.g. gdb.conf.noexec | 05:20 |
| airtonix | hydr0tux, just about everyone | 05:20 |
| nvclocknoob | ohhh ty the | 05:20 |
| hydr0tux | airtonix, how do you hide all this messages * | 05:20 |
| Traveler1 | why is this so hard im so sick of this is there an easy way to et my tv to conect with my PC as my monitor | 05:20 |
| hydr0tux | airtonix, its anoying as hell | 05:20 |
| loopidity | Ray78 how is the light on the usb flashing? | 05:20 |
| xxiao_ | shwouchk, so far the safest way to disable gdm is rename /etc/init/gdm.conf to anything else, e.g. gdb.conf.noexec | 05:20 |
| airtonix | hydr0tux, what messages ? people joining and leaving ? | 05:20 |
| hydr0tux | airtonix, yes | 05:20 |
| Ray78 | loopidity, constant blue color flashing | 05:21 |
| Jeruvy | jdsbluedevl: try right clicking on the device and selecting disable. Not sure if thats the correct wording. | 05:21 |
| airtonix | hydr0tux, right click on the room entry and select hide join/part messages | 05:21 |
| zeronice1 | vane: ill try. do u have any partitions like windows | 05:21 |
| shwouchk | xxiao_: but the way I did it, I will still be able to start it manually if I want | 05:21 |
| jdsbluedevl | jeruvy: no such option | 05:21 |
| hydr0tux | airtonix, lol that was easy, thanks maty | 05:21 |
| loopidity | Ray78 that means it is registered but not connected | 05:21 |
| airtonix | hydr0tux, 50% of the noise gone | 05:21 |
| jdsbluedevl | jeruvy: I'm right-clicking on Auth eth0, but no menu comes up | 05:21 |
| hydr0tux | exactly :) | 05:21 |
| loopidity | Ray78 who is the provider? | 05:21 |
| hydr0tux | my eyes where flashing here lol | 05:21 |
| loopidity | Ray78 click on Add and follow the steps, | 05:22 |
| vane | zeronice1, i have windows on other disk, on the disk with linux, i have swap partition, system partition and home partition | 05:22 |
| jibbles | hey all, is anyone here using bazaar? | 05:22 |
| Jeruvy | jdsbluedevl: does it have an enable check box? | 05:22 |
| hydr0tux | airtonix, very good nickname choice as well :D | 05:22 |
| jdsbluedevl | jeruvy: no | 05:22 |
| nvclocknoob | how do i use nvclock? | 05:22 |
| jdsbluedevl | jeruvy: wait a sec | 05:22 |
| Traveler1 | i guess theres no hope for me | 05:22 |
| loopidity | Ray78 see how far you can get, you will need some details of you provider, you can easily go and ask them if you need to | 05:22 |
| xxiao_ | shwouchk, that's good then | 05:22 |
| colde89 | I whant to use utf8 in latex. in a header I will use this line: \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} witch pakage do I have to install in lucid lynx? | 05:22 |
| jdsbluedevl | jeruvy: oh, I have to go into the editing menu | 05:23 |
| xxiao_ | airtonix, thanks for the chrome finding | 05:23 |
| hydr0tux | airtonix, you python coder ? | 05:23 |
| xxiao_ | gtg | 05:23 |
| shwouchk | xxiao_: but I definitely agree it is intrusive and annoying... I wish there was a way to manage it | 05:23 |
| Ray78 | loopidity, i manage to setup the connection as the provider is listed | 05:23 |
| shwouchk | xxiao_: have a good one | 05:23 |
| Ray78 | loopidity, how am i supposed to be dialing it | 05:23 |
| r007 | can we have some server questions please | 05:23 |
| Jeruvy | jdsbluedevl: ok, I wasn't sure exactly how it would look. See what that does. | 05:23 |
| loopidity | Ray78 great, so the connection has been set right? | 05:24 |
| jdsbluedevl | jeruvy: ok, deselected "connect automatically" on Eth0 (connection is on Eth1), no luck | 05:24 |
| loopidity | Ray78 now rightclick the network manager on panel | 05:24 |
| Jeebs | No one for helping me to get my drive to format? | 05:24 |
| jdsbluedevl | jeruvy: is restarting network-manager enough, or does it require a reboot? | 05:24 |
| loopidity | Ray78 do you see the mobilebroadband connection | 05:24 |
| Davin | I promise I'm running out of questions here... for file system, and given that I'm dual booting with Windows 7 and will want to have at least some access from one to the other, is ext4 fine to use? I've seen stuff mentioning programs to access ext2/ext3, but ext4 isn't mentioned. Don't know if it's just old info or if ext4 isn't as accessible | 05:24 |
| airtonix | hydr0tux, yes | 05:25 |
| hydr0tux | :) | 05:25 |
| r007 | Davin use ext3 | 05:25 |
| Jeruvy | jdsbluedevl: no, simply enabling or disabling the connection is enough. If eth0 doesn't change try the other way. I assume you have a valid connection on one of the devices? | 05:25 |
| loopidity | once /dev/sr1 is ejected, is there a way to plug it back without physically removing the usb device? | 05:25 |
| Traveler1 | why does ubuntu have to be so hard | 05:25 |
| Ray78 | loopidity, that is the bad part, not in the panel list.. even when i setting up the provider, it seem like dint detect the USB at all at the first screen | 05:25 |
| jdsbluedevl | jeruvy: yes, I do have a valid connection, tested it on another computer | 05:25 |
| airtonix | Alan502_, did it work ? | 05:26 |
| abhi_nav | Good morning! :) | 05:26 |
| Ray78 | loopidity, seems like i'm missing something on the initializing part | 05:26 |
| Davin | r007, thanks. And does it need a label as I set it up with GParted, or just instruct Ubuntu that is to be / partition when installing? | 05:26 |
| jdsbluedevl | jeruvy: switching doesn't help | 05:26 |
| loopidity | Ray78 with the usb plugged in, try restarting ubuntu (cause mine works only after restarting) | 05:26 |
| Jeruvy | jdsbluedevl: ok verify you have an address and ping your router on either device. | 05:26 |
| r007 | Traveler1 put it into context imagine your missus said why does it have to be so soft which is better | 05:26 |
| loopidity | Ray78 I am assuming you have added the device correctly | 05:27 |
| Ray78 | ok.. will try | 05:27 |
| vane | ?? | 05:27 |
| jdsbluedevl | jeruvy: but you gave me a good idea. I'm going to remove one of the cards and see if I have a connection. | 05:27 |
| Traveler1 | why cant someone try to help me | 05:27 |
| Alan502_ | airtonix, i already made the interface, i'll connect the modem now brb | 05:27 |
| Jeruvy | jdsbluedevl: I mentioned it because on | 05:27 |
| jdsbluedevl | jeruvy: you mean ping it from my working computer or my nonworking Ubuntu computer? | 05:27 |
| lukehasnoname` | has anyone had trouble using the USB installer creator? | 05:27 |
| ranjan | Traveler1, whats your problem?? | 05:27 |
| r007 | labels are for your use only but it will need to be / | 05:27 |
| Ray78 | loopidity, the adding part is not correct i think, as the USB not recognized as a modem | 05:27 |
| Jeruvy | jdsbluedevl: from the non-working connection. | 05:27 |
| jdsbluedevl | ok, how do I ping it? | 05:28 |
| lo | hello | 05:28 |
| === lo is now known as Guest15327 | ||
| loopidity | Ray78 you could ask your provider with the details of your connection | 05:28 |
| Traveler1 | im trying to connect my tv to my computer via DVI but i get a message saying that res isnt correct but i cant change it | 05:28 |
| loopidity | loopidity who is the provider? | 05:28 |
| Jeruvy | jdsbluedevl:' ping <address>' from a terminal/shell | 05:28 |
| Ray78 | loopidity, Digi from malaysia | 05:28 |
| jdsbluedevl | jeruvy: oh, nvm, I see where you're coming from. I don't have a router, as the connection comes directly from the university | 05:29 |
| jdsbluedevl | jeruvy: they don't allow routers | 05:29 |
| nvclocknoob | lol | 05:29 |
| loopidity | Ray78 were you able to find Digi on the list? | 05:29 |
| loopidity | Ray78 i m on ubuntu10.04 and i see them | 05:29 |
| nvclocknoob | gpart isnt loading..i ran the command and it said it wasnt installed..i just installed it | 05:29 |
| r007 | Devin labels are for your use only but it will need to be / | 05:29 |
| Ray78 | loopidity, yup.. its listed, the AP all all other info are automatically listed | 05:29 |
| jdsbluedevl | jeruvy: and even so, what address? | 05:29 |
| Traveler1 | ranjan get my last message? | 05:30 |
| jdsbluedevl | jeruvy: I'm guessing 127.0.0.1 is not the proper address, right | 05:30 |
| jdsbluedevl | ? | 05:30 |
| Jeruvy | jdsbluedevl: try 'ifconfig' from a terminal to verify your address | 05:30 |
| loopidity | Ray78 that looks good, did you restart and see | 05:30 |
| zeronice1 | vane: its hard for me to tell you what to do because im not sure what ur sister did. if i were you i would google what the grub prompt your getting actually is and why it could be showing up.maybe even booting into a live cd and trying to see what could have happened in there | 05:30 |
| loopidity | Ray78 make it connect automatically | 05:30 |
| Ray78 | loopidity, ok will do now | 05:30 |
| zeronice1 | could be good | 05:30 |
| r007 | telnet localhost 25 | 05:30 |
| jdsbluedevl | jeruvy: no addresses in ifconfig | 05:31 |
| jdsbluedevl | jeruvy: one sec, I see two, but they're under lo, not eth1 | 05:31 |
| r007 | no need for a network connection there oh no lol | 05:31 |
| Davin | hopeful final question... i take it swap has the filesystem that contains swap in the name? | 05:31 |
| jdsbluedevl | jeruvy: I see 127.0.0.1 and 255.0.0.0 | 05:31 |
| hiexpo | 127 is the addr | 05:31 |
| Dan11b | can anyone help me figure out how to get my sound card to work | 05:31 |
| jdsbluedevl | jeruvy: ok, I'm pinging 127.0.0.1, what should I be seeing if it's working? | 05:32 |
| Jeruvy | jdsbluedevl: verify which device is up and plugged in (eth0 or eth1) then from a terminal type 'ifup eth0' | 05:32 |
| nvclocknoob | is it muted? | 05:32 |
| Dan11b | ...my sound card? no | 05:33 |
| zeronice1 | vane: this could help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 05:33 |

| nvclocknoob | sometimes it is..but if there is no speaker icon it's not installed and started | 05:33 |
| vane | zeronice1, thank i will check =) | 05:33 |
| Jeruvy | jdsbluedevl: or ifup eth1 whichever you are using thats enabled. | 05:33 |
| Dan11b | i have a speaker icon, sound comes in extremely distorted and cracky | 05:33 |
| jdsbluedevl | jeruvy: apparently neither, as both are giving me permission denied, then when I tried sudo, it says "Ignoring unknown interface eth1=eth1" | 05:33 |
| nvclocknoob | what sound card? | 05:33 |
| zeronice1 | vane: sorry i couldent help u more and good luck | 05:33 |

| jdsbluedevl | jeruvy: and again, what am I supposed to see in the ping? | 05:34 |
| nvclocknoob | make sure the onboard is disabled first | 05:34 |
| r007 | jdsbluedevl type this and give us your output lshw -C network | 05:34 |
| wvm | Hi all, I have a problem with wired networking: since an update of Lucid a month or so ago it does not connect to my network any more when booting. This is a major problem as authentication is over the network so network must be up immediately upon boot. Manually running 'ifup eth0' (as root) brings up the network easily. This used to be automatic until I ran an update. | 05:34 |
| hiexpo | see if it responds | 05:35 |
| Dan11b | under sound preferences it its disabled | 05:35 |
| jdsbluedevl | r007: I have to transfer via thumb drive, give me a few minutes | 05:35 |
| nvclocknoob | good, but it shouldn't be detected..disable it in bios...but since it's disabled it shouldn't interfere.. | 05:35 |
| hiexpo | i pinged it so it is good | 05:36 |
| nvclocknoob | hmm | 05:36 |
| Jeruvy | jdsbluedevl: you should see results. However you need to get a device to grab an address. If eth1 isn't working try eth0 | 05:36 |
| hydr0tux | airtonix, still there bud? | 05:36 |
| nvclocknoob | distorted all that time? or just in a certain application? what ersion ubuntu? | 05:36 |
| Dan11b | all the time | 05:36 |
| Dan11b | and let me check the version (im really new to ubuntu) | 05:36 |
| nvclocknoob | kk | 05:36 |
| jdsbluedevl | jeruvy: well, I'm getting something that says "64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=X ttl=Y time=Z ms" | 05:37 |
| hiexpo | iwconfig | 05:37 |
| airtonix | hydr0tux, yes | 05:37 |
| Dan11b | 10.04 LTS | 05:37 |
| hydr0tux | airtonix, did you get any of my msg | 05:37 |
| nvclocknoob | same, but i had issues with my sblive first off a while ago when 8.04 was the first version i came across | 05:37 |
| Jeruvy | jdsbluedevl: thats a localhost connection, not a network connection | 05:37 |
| jdsbluedevl | jeruvy: then I don't have a network connection | 05:37 |
| nvclocknoob | now it just detects and runs | 05:37 |
| Dan11b | my sound card is detected under sound preferences | 05:38 |
| carlosleon | Hi there o/ | 05:38 |
| nvclocknoob | now what drivers have been installed for it..ubuntu usually just loads alsa and that works | 05:38 |
| Pr3nt1c3 | after re-inst everything to do with hedge... it's now working... | 05:38 |
| Pr3nt1c3 | thanks for the help ** | 05:38 |
| Dan11b | i dont know how to check that | 05:38 |
| Jeruvy | jdsbluedevl: correct, if 'ifconfig' shows no address you need to manually bring it up using 'ifup', if that doesn't work I'd be looking at the network to be the issue. Perhaps your uni needs something specific to hand you an address. | 05:38 |

| isw | bastid_raZor: thanks | 05:40 |
| jdsbluedevl | jeruvy: no, it was working fine and dany 2 weeks ago. Then the network sharing that I was using for my Roku got borked, I did a fresh install of Ubuntu, and now no Internet connection | 05:40 |
| nvclocknoob | and the rest are auto detected? | 05:40 |
| jdsbluedevl | jeruvy: and when I plug the connection into my MacBook, it works quite well | 05:40 |

| Suit_Of_Sables | Hello, does anyone know why, when installing from a Lucid Live CD to a macbook, grub-update would fail? Each time I try to install when it gets to 93% and runs grub-update if gets that fatal error. I continued the installation without the bootloader. I am trying to make this a dual boot machine with Ubuntu and OSX. When I hold alt on startup, the ubuntu partition shows as "windows" and when booted from, just brings me to some | 05:46 |
| Suit_Of_Sables | grub 1.9something bash like command line interface. When I boot from the OSX partition it can't even see the linux partition except in disc utility. Again, what would cause grub-update to fail? Do I need a internet connection to install Lucid from the live CD? >.< Can I install grub from OSX in someway so I can boot the linux system? | 05:46 |
| Dan11b | i wish i could go back and pick another of the 3 drivers i had an option to picking, but i duno how to get back to that option, the system > admin > hardware drivers doesnt come up with anything for sound card, just for graphics | 05:46 |
| Leemp | hiexpo: Yea, but then you have to leave that one open the whole time.. not really optimal heh. | 05:46 |

| nvclocknoob | and it's plugged into the green port correct? no damage to the wires? | 05:52 |
| isw | bastid_raZor: thanks a ton again man this is very very nice. | 05:52 |
| HermanDE_ | Suit_Of_Sables, Do you have a pastebin that actually has something? | 05:52 |

It has one partition on it already which is ntfs.trying to format unallocated space. | 05:54 |

| wildbat | Jeebs, from gparted? | 05:58 |
| Jeebs | This is just during installation of ubuntu | 05:59 |
| Leemp | HermanDE_: I think it was a shoddy install. I've got a python2.5 that i have no idea what put it there (i was trying a few different things) | 05:59 |
| ranjan | Hi all :) problem with NVIDIA restricted drivers in Lucid ....Ny help?? | 05:59 |
| Leemp | HermanDE_: Either way, my working py2.5 install, at /usr/local/python2.5 is *not* the same as my /usr/bin/python2.5 | 05:59 |
| wildbat | Jeebs, use gparted in live session see what you got~ always partition then reboot be4 the actual install ~ | 06:00 |

| Kinch2 | Why does kubuntu crash all the time? | 06:01 |
| Dan11b | is there a way to reinstall the drivers for it? | 06:01 |
| nvclocknoob | well its using alsa | 06:01 |
| bullgard4 | ranjan: Describe your nvidia problem more precisely please so that others can help. | 06:01 |
| Izinucs | Kinch2: I don't have that problem | 06:02 |
| Dan11b | is there different versions of alsa | 06:02 |
| Kinch2 | Izinucs, care to tell me a bit about your hardware? | 06:02 |
| Izinucs | Kinch2: are you using Karmic or Maveric? | 06:02 |
| nvclocknoob | which is like a linux emulater, that support a wide range of cards | 06:02 |
| ranjan | bullgard4, its with the plymouth | 06:02 |
| kr3w | is KDE faster or GNOME | 06:02 |
| Kinch2 | Karmic | 06:02 |
| nvclocknoob | have you updated recently? | 06:02 |
| Dan11b | yeah | 06:02 |
| nvclocknoob | k then it shuould be up to date | 06:02 |
| ranjan | bullgard4, the plymouth resolution gets lowered after installing nvidia restricted drivers | 06:02 |
| Dan11b | and it gave me 3 options to choose sound card drivers | 06:02 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, Wow.... | 06:02 |
| Izinucs | Kinch2: AMD 4500+ .. 4gigs ram.. 3 harddrives.. nvidia gforce 8200 motherboard and video etc. etc. | 06:02 |
| Dan11b | i chose one and went from no sound to this crackling sound | 06:02 |
| nvclocknoob | add/remove software is under applications btw | 06:02 |
| Leemp | HermanDE_: lol | 06:03 |
| nvclocknoob | and have you disabled surround sound? | 06:03 |
| Kinch2 | Izinucs, Hmm pretty different from what I was running it on, you're on karmic? | 06:03 |
| Dan11b | no | 06:03 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, That is an amazing push.... Ubuntu is dependent on a version of Python.... Uninstalling/modifying can get ugly... | 06:03 |
| nvclocknoob | try disableing surround sound | 06:03 |
| Dan11b | where would i do that at | 06:03 |
| Leemp | HermanDE_: Lucid doesn't even come with 2.5 | 06:03 |
| nvclocknoob | you made need the alsa-gui | 06:03 |
| Izinucs | Kinch2: yep.. one quirk with my motherboard is it won't boot a live cd or the system without pci=nomsi in the kernel boot line | 06:03 |
| colde89 | I whant to use utf8 in latex. in a header I will use this line: \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} witch pakage do I have to install in lucid lynx? | 06:03 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, The make install will attempt to modify paths.... | 06:04 |
| bullgard4 | ranjan: I do know that other people experienced the same problem. Look it up in Launchpad please. | 06:04 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, Then things start to get ugly.... | 06:04 |
| Leemp | HermanDE_: That's why i was installing it. Those jerks removed 2.4 and 2.5 from the repos heh | 06:04 |
| nvclocknoob | i need to d/l it myself lets do this d/l the alsa-gui via the add/remove software under application menu | 06:04 |
| Kinch2 | Izinucs, I couldn't figure out anything I was doing wrong, it was a vanilla install and although I could successfully install it I was getting crashes for every other program I opened | 06:04 |
| Leemp | HermanDE_: I don't get what the problem is? Ubuntu relies on 2.6, right? | 06:04 |
| Dan11b | alsamixergui? | 06:04 |
| Line | hello, how can i mount a dd image of a hard disk with the read only option enabled? | 06:04 |
| Traveler1 | someone please help me im trying to find drivers for my system | 06:04 |

| colde89 | maco: thanks, I will try | 06:05 |
| Izinucs | Kinch2: are you using a "store bought" machine? | 06:05 |
| elie | hey guys | 06:05 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, Sure.... It's been awhile since I compiled /make/installed python... It used to fsck with my paths.... | 06:05 |
| Leemp | HermanDE_: Odd, out of all the Googling, no one suggested a debian version heh | 06:05 |
| Kinch2 | thanks Izinucs I'll try that, yes its a sony laptop circa 2003 | 06:05 |
| nvclocknoob | dan both i believe | 06:05 |
| elie | please save me: my apache is having an environment TZ=America/Chicago! why is it not following the local timezone? | 06:06 |
| Leemp | HermanDE_: I don't get what it might have screwed with though. python still runs py2.6 | 06:06 |
| bullgard4 | ranjan: Hm. In that case I suggest that you report it in Launchpad so that it is documented for the developers. | 06:06 |
| Izinucs | Kinch2: have you tried googling it with model # and "kubuntu" to see what pops up? | 06:06 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, (Insert really smart ass remark here) ... :) | 06:06 |

| Izinucs | Kinch2: how 'bout on the forums? | 06:07 |
| ubottu | Knat: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 06:07 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, Do a surgical strike.... | 06:07 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, Take care that the python 2.6 is not using it.... | 06:08 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, The make file should be easy to read... Look for the install section... | 06:08 |
| Leemp | HermanDE_: So where would that be? Are you saying that to uninstall something, you need the source installation files? | 06:08 |
| Izinucs | Kinch2: I gotta ask.. even though it sounds like you've probably already done it.. have you tried a full sys upgrade with "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" ? | 06:08 |
| Lint01 | Leemp, that's a danger of source installs | 06:08 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, If you installed using the source.... The you should uninstall using the source.... | 06:08 |
| Kinch2 | Regarding sound issues, the problem I had was that alsamixer had muted, or turned down the volume on the main out | 06:08 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, Sometimes there is an uninstall in the make file.... | 06:09 |
| Kinch2 | Try alsamixer in the terminal and see if you need to just crank the volume | 06:09 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, try "make uninstall" | 06:09 |
| Kinch2 | Izinucs, ya, I had high hopes for an update | 06:09 |
| Izinucs | Kinch2: how much ram do you have? | 06:09 |
| Kinch2 | 2 GB | 06:09 |
| Izinucs | Kinch2: should be enough.. 32bit or 64? | 06:09 |
| Leemp | HermanDE_: So, you're saying that debian installers work just as good as ubuntu repos? | 06:09 |
| Kinch2 | 32bit | 06:10 |
| Izinucs | Kinch2: DOH! '03 machine should be 32 | 06:10 |
| Leemp | HermanDE_: I've never been told that :/, it's always been either use a repo, or compile it yourself | 06:10 |
| Kinch2 | KDE is fairly resource intensive I suppose, but I would see it crawl not crash | 06:10 |
| Kinch2 | Izinucs, I think I may just install KDE in an ubuntu install and go from there | 06:10 |
| Traveler1 | someone help me | 06:10 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, Ubuntu is based on Debian.... The DEB package is exactly the same..... | 06:11 |
| zeronice1 | Traveler1: with? | 06:11 |
| Kinch2 | Traveler1, you made it to IRC | 06:11 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, Even deps are dealt with the same..... | 06:11 |
| Izinucs | Kinch2: if you do, don't install the entire kubuntu-desktop.. just the kde WM | 06:11 |
| jkalex05 | it feels cool to have a PC without windows | 06:11 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, DEB... Yes, that is Debian Packaging.... | 06:11 |
| Kinch2 | Izinucs, right. | 06:11 |
| Leemp | HermanDE_: Man, bizarre. | 06:11 |
| Traveler1 | why would something not let me click install | 06:11 |
| jkalex05 | im lovin ubuntu... now i gotta learn how to work it thru the terminal | 06:11 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, Nope... Just history..... Ubuntu is a fork of Debian that feeds back to Debian..... | 06:12 |
| Leemp | HermanDE_: Yea i know, but i literally, have *never* seen someone say "just go grab the debain repo package" | 06:12 |
| zeronice1 | Traveler1: can you elaborate more? | 06:12 |
| bastid_raZor | !terminal | jkalex05 great howto here : | 06:12 |
| ubottu | jkalex05 great howto here :: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 06:12 |
| Leemp | HermanDE_: I mean, people are making crap deb installers of their own, in launchpad repositories.. | 06:12 |
| Kinch2 | Regarding debian packages, I have had the problem when installing packages made for debian that the debian repos have newer versions which your package may depend on | 06:12 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, It's just a bit obvious to some that have been here for awhile..... | 06:12 |
| nvclocknoob | dan are you still with me? | 06:12 |
| Leemp | HermanDE_: Why are they doing that if they can just use the deb repos. | 06:12 |
| Dan11b | yeah im here man | 06:12 |
| nvclocknoob | both programs do the same thing | 06:13 |
| Leemp | HermanDE_: I am honestly flabbergasted heh. | 06:13 |
| nvclocknoob | i think gnome enables more features | 06:13 |
| Kinch2 | Izinucs, thanks for your help I should look closer at the debug info in the console | 06:13 |
| Izinucs | Kinch2: I run "u" on my laptop and "k" on the desktop.. With the latest updates on both I have a hard time deciding which to focus on.. I do like the new kde desktop despite what some say.. integration with gmail, calendar is a bit problemmatic but semi functional.. akonadi server and stringi give me occational issues. | 06:13 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, Welcome to the forks of OS's..... :) Back to that smart ass remark above.... | 06:13 |
| Kinch2 | It happens so often that I figure it must have been something I dide | 06:13 |
| Leemp | HermanDE_: Alright, well on that note, why is it not advised for me to use a python2.5 from Karmic? | 06:13 |
| nvclocknoob | but you should be able to disable or mute or decrease the volume of various surround sound settings..like center and 3d..etc | 06:14 |
| Kinch2 | Izinucs, I've used KDE in other environments and it beats gnome hands down for efficiency | 06:14 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, Debian has a very slow release cycle.... But the releases are high quality..... Ubuntu is on the bleeding edge.... Some packages are worse than others..... | 06:14 |
| Leemp | HermanDE_: I've been warned not to. Wouldn't Karmic be even closer than a Debian repo? | 06:14 |
| guenots | quit | 06:14 |
| Dan11b | yeah | 06:14 |
| Knat | bullgard4: I'm running ubuntu on a remote server, I don't have any xwindows installed. I am running some software and outputting it to xvfb. The problem is its trying to also output sound, I need to set up a fake sound card device that just dumps everything thats passed to it to /dev/null, Gnome has a device snd-dummy which is availible while gnome is running, i was wondering if theres another way | 06:14 |
| Izinucs | Kinch2: if it's a vanilla install then most likely it incorrectly assigned a driver or something | 06:14 |
| razz1 | I just installed 10.04, I have a dual digital tuner, nvidia gpu. Haven't installed nvidia driver yet. I want to set up Mythtv. Do I need Nvidia driver. everythin seems to be workin fine with the default driver/ | 06:14 |
| Kinch2 | Izinucs, that's gotta be it... | 06:14 |
| nvclocknoob | try disableing /muteing "surround" | 06:14 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, Sure..... You have a choice.... If one fails, try another..... | 06:14 |
| Kinch2 | My guess was the ATI driver so I tried installing a different version with no success | 06:15 |
| nvclocknoob | i also notice that both my sound cards are enabled..and using each other as well | 06:15 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, Or create your own package..... Very easy.... | 06:15 |
| Dan11b | if i mute then i get zero sound | 06:15 |
| Izinucs | Kinch2: check dmesg and see if there are any errors after a crash as well | 06:15 |
| nvclocknoob | one over rides the other.. | 06:15 |
| Dan11b | if i mute surround sound that is | 06:15 |
| nvclocknoob | ?? | 06:15 |
| Dan11b | if i mute surround sound, i get no sound from anything | 06:15 |
| Izinucs | Kinch2: or on boot for that matter. | 06:15 |
| nvclocknoob | then your plugged into the blac/surround sound jack..or have a system hooked up to your pc? | 06:15 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, I reserve compliling to systems that I can't get prepackages and would be a complete PITA to create a package for..... | 06:16 |
| Dan11b | um i dont think so, ill check on the back | 06:16 |
| Dan11b | i sent you a pm btw | 06:16 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, In my case I have 2 systems across 6 servers, 10 workstations that were a PITA to package.... | 06:16 |
| nvclocknoob | ah | 06:16 |
| Shamoun | hey guys, i am running xubunut and it doesn't have the services manager that ubuntu does. i need to have smbd and nmbd start automatically with my pc, how can i do that via command line? | 06:16 |
| Leemp | HermanDE_: What makes things a PITA to package? | 06:17 |
| Emry | Anyone know the URL for the bug tracker? To be honest, the behavior of the new notification system is so annoying that it is really starting to bother me. O.o;; | 06:17 |
| rww | !bugs | 06:17 |

| bullgard4 | [Evolution 2.28.3] To mark a certain e-mail as "Read" fails. It does not fail with 100 others. -- How to troubleshoot? | 06:17 |
| Emry | Does anyone know the name of the package that does the notifications? :P | 06:18 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, Crazy make files that require custom precompilied binaries from vendors to even think about working.... At least in these two cases... | 06:18 |
| rww | Emry: notifications being the little bubble things that pop up on occasion, or the icons in the panel? | 06:18 |
| razz1 | I was using Zimbra in windows. Should I move to evolution or stay with zimbra in ubuntu | 06:18 |
| Emry | rww: The bubble that pops up all the time, every time anything happens online and blocks what I am working on from view. :P The little icons are fine. ^^ | 06:19 |
| Emry | :) | 06:19 |
| rww | Emry: notify-osd | 06:19 |
| jibbles | Leemp, put " &" after the command. If you don't want the command to quit when the shell (terminal) is closed, put "nohup " in front as well. | 06:19 |
| Jeebs | Hey, I tried gparted to format my drive | 06:19 |
| Jeebs | no deal | 06:20 |
| Emry | rww: Thanks. I will search for info on that first and see if it is behavior I can tweak. :) | 06:20 |
| Leemp | HermanDE_: So, can i simply add various debain repositories? Or should i install these things by downloading them first? And on that note, if i have multiple sources for a single package (ie, python2.6), how do i deal with that? | 06:20 |
| bullgard4 | Knat: May be googling for "dimmy sound device" will help you. I do not know. | 06:20 |
| bullgard4 | Knat: May be googling for "dummy sound device" will help you. I do not know. | 06:20 |
| nvclocknoob | how do i use nvclock? | 06:20 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, Your choice.... You could use apt-pinning and put in other repositories as you choose.... Create your own repository for custom stuff.... | 06:20 |
| Fanshawe | Hey all. How does one go about mounting partitions automatically on startup? | 06:21 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, The pinning will enable you to set one as very high priority.... And another to completly ignore unless called for.... | 06:21 |
| well_laid_lawn | clao: I make another script that uses xterm to start your script | 06:21 |
| jibbles | Leemp, a more advanced program to manage more programs through your terminal is screen, it is worth checking out | 06:21 |
| HermanDE_ | Fanshawe, check out /etc/fstab | 06:21 |
| bastid_raZor | !fstab | Fanshawe | 06:22 |
| ubottu | Fanshawe: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 06:22 |
| Jeebs | http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/sS9XnNwi Here is the error gparted gets when I try to format my drive | 06:22 |
| HermanDE_ | jibbles, Screen only acts as a virtual terminal.... | 06:22 |
| Fanshawe | Awesome. Thank you all. | 06:22 |
| panthar__ | screen is awesome | 06:22 |
| HermanDE_ | Then you guys need to try splitvt.... | 06:23 |
| nvclocknoob | i have installed nvclock, where is it? | 06:23 |
| HermanDE_ | Why have multiple terminal windows, when a single one will do.... | 06:23 |
| panthar__ | screen is great for organizing multiple processes | 06:23 |
| colde89 | maco: I have installed texlive-base, texlive-extra and texlive-xtex, but still get these error: ! Package inputenc Erroor: Unicode char \u8_ch not set up for use with Latex | 06:24 |
| HermanDE_ | Screen is scriptable..... ATD something to start at midnight in a screen.... Check the results in the morning..... | 06:24 |
| jibbles | HermanDE_, I suppose I am not 100% clear on the difference between a terminal, a shell, a terminal emulator, virtual terminal, etc... | 06:24 |
| maco | colde89: i dont know, i just know that the package i named before is the one that provides that package you were including | 06:24 |
| nvclocknoob | so noone here know anything about nvclock or where add/remove installs stuff like that/ | 06:25 |
| Jeebs | wildbat: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/sS9XnNwi | 06:25 |
| rww | nvclocknoob: /usr/bin/nvclock? | 06:25 |
| colde89 | maco: ok.. | 06:25 |
| nvclocknoob | hmm | 06:25 |
| HermanDE_ | jibbles, A shell is an execution environment. This a command interpreter. | 06:25 |
| panthar__ | cant say i've used it | 06:25 |
| Leemp | HermanDE_: I dunno, running into dependancy issues at the moment. I'll have to dig through this stuff tomorrow. "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: python2.5-minimal (= 2.5.2-15+lenny1)" | 06:26 |
| HermanDE_ | jibbles, A terminal usually refereed to access to a shell. | 06:26 |
| jkalex05 | Im trying to install duke nukem 3d | 06:26 |
| Leemp | HermanDE_: And when trying to install minimal, it says a later version is already installed, so it won't install | 06:26 |
| jkalex05 | i used command | 06:26 |
| jkalex05 | wget http://apt.duke4.net/key/eduke32.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - | 06:26 |
| jibbles | ok, so a terminal connects the user (or process) to the shell (interpreter) | 06:26 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, Yep.... You might want to try the version from Debian Squeeze.... | 06:26 |
| jkalex05 | it said wiritted to stout | 06:26 |
| jkalex05 | now what? | 06:26 |
| Leemp | HermanDE_: Is that the latest? | 06:26 |
| HermanDE_ | jibbles, That would be a good way..... | 06:26 |
| jkalex05 | sorry im a linux noob | 06:27 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, Yep..... | 06:27 |
| RedEvolution | Is anyone willing to help me configure my wireless adapter on 10.04? | 06:27 |
| Emry | Does anyone know where to adjust the settings for notify-osd? :P All the info I see is to the effect of "Here is the spec" or a page saying "We want more notifications please" When honestly, I am wanting to make them less obtrusive. :) | 06:27 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, Or you could try karmic.... Choices are wild.... | 06:27 |
| wildbat | Jeebs,paste sudo fdisk -l | 06:27 |
| rww | Emry: as far as I know, there aren't any | 06:27 |
| jibbles | HermanDE_, if e.g. xterm is a X terminal emulator, what is a real terminal, and where is the object code or binary for it? | 06:28 |
| HermanDE_ | jibbles, Most people confuse a terminal and a shell.... in most situations it can work as the same.... | 06:28 |
| Leemp | HermanDE_: So what i'm seeing is i can expect failure heh. Would a better option simply be making my own packages? | 06:28 |
| Emry | rww: :/ I did see a notation saying that apparently the Kubuntu community is going a different direction with it. If I can't alter it, and I can't remove it, then it basically leaves me two choices, and neither are optimal. | 06:28 |
| panthar__ | whats wrong w/ ur wireles adaptor? | 06:28 |
| HermanDE_ | jibbles, This goes into the history of Unix..... | 06:29 |
| jibbles | Erm, well I guess I can read about it :) | 06:29 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, Sure.... That would be another method..... | 06:29 |
| rww | Emry: you can replace it with the notification-daemon package, which has GNOME's indicator system. That's what I ended up doing. | 06:29 |
| jkalex05 | anyone know what im diong wrong? | 06:29 |
| Jeebs | wildbat: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/nHDTcjy6 | 06:29 |
| rww | Emry: ( sudo aptitude install notification-daemon notify-osd_ ) | 06:29 |
| PorkSoda | Guys/gals, I just upgraded a box to 10.04. It does not have the me menu like on another fresh install. How do I install it. | 06:29 |
| Jeebs | it's at the bottom of that paste, after the gparted information | 06:29 |
| PorkSoda | !memenu | 06:29 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, Keep in mind that some Debian/Ubuntu packages are virtual.... In other words you try and install Python-2.5... And it is only a referrer to other packages.... | 06:30 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, So, just find the root python packages...... | 06:30 |
| wildbat | Jeebs, and mount -l? | 06:31 |
| jkalex05 | im trying to install eduke32 | 06:31 |
| Leemp | I'm still trying to figure out how a later version of python2.5-minimal is already installed. Something that shouldn't be, given that it's not in any ubuntu repos. | 06:31 |
| HermanDE_ | jibbles, If you are running X in a terminal (Yes, it is offically called a Graphic Terminal) .... Any other terminal you are running is virtual through a real (X windows) terminal.... | 06:31 |
| rww | HermanDE_: Please don't recommend users in here to add Debian repositories or use Debian repository packages. Mixing repositories is unsupported and causes packaging conflicts. | 06:31 |
| Emry | rww: does the notify-osd_ tell it to suppress that one? :P | 06:31 |
| jkalex05 | I used wget to download it | 06:31 |
| jkalex05 | now what do i do? | 06:31 |
| rww | Emry: it tells it to remove the package. | 06:31 |
| wildbat | Jeebs, sdc6 is ext4 already i think | 06:31 |
| Leemp | HermanDE_: Anyway, i give up for the night. I'll look into making my own packages. So far make/install has been the easiest route, go figure heh | 06:31 |
| HermanDE_ | Leemp, That happens.... :) | 06:32 |
| jibbles | g'nite all! | 06:32 |
| Jeebs | wildbat: if it's ext4 already, shouldn't it still let me format it again? | 06:32 |
| Jeebs | Although gparted bicks it up as unknown | 06:32 |
| Jeebs | *picks | 06:32 |
| wildbat | Jeebs, if you mounted nopes | 06:33 |
| HermanDE_ | rww, Any suggestions for someone asking about a package dropped by Ubuntu, but supported by other DEB based distros? | 06:33 |
| bullgard4 | [Evolution 2.28.3] To mark a certain e-mail as "Read" fails. It does not fail with 100 others. -- How to troubleshoot? | 06:33 |
| wildbat | Jeebs, or you have a corrupted partition table | 06:33 |
| rww | HermanDE_: python2.5 was dropped for a reason. The correct answer would be to find out that reason and explain it to the user. | 06:34 |
| Emry | rww: Hehehe. apt-get just refused to do it at all without removing everything under the sun. :P aptitude gave me a warning that ubuntu-desktop is broken and offered to remove it for me. ^^ | 06:35 |
| Jeebs | it's not mounted | 06:35 |
| maco | Emry: try aptitude safe-upgrade | 06:35 |
| rww | Emry: heh, weird. They must have changed around the metapackage depends since the last time I looked at them. Sorry about that. | 06:35 |
| Jeebs | wildbat: it's not mounted | 06:36 |
| Jeebs | so it couldn't be in use | 06:36 |
| wildbat | Jeebs, ok try this ~ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc6 bs=4k count=1024 | 06:36 |
| wildbat | Jeebs, then reboot | 06:36 |
| Guest31174 | hey there you bun too! | 06:37 |
| nvclocknoob | wow system latency for my nvidia 5500 was set at 255 =c | 06:37 |
| rww | maco: that wouldn't help. There's a depend from ubuntu-desktop on notify-osd that I thought was on notification-daemon (which notify-osd provides). I think I got mixed up with gnome-* or something. | 06:37 |
| nvclocknoob | no wonder video lagged | 06:38 |
| HermanDE_ | rww, Yep... Looks like a distro decision over security.... bad answer for someone looking for a solution.... | 06:38 |
| Jeebs | wildbat: reboot to the livecd and then try gparted again, I'm guessing? | 06:38 |
| feekill | wtf my wallpaper keeps switching back to the original xubuntu bg | 06:38 |
| rww | HermanDE_: It is, however, the correct one. Telling users to start using Debian repository packages is not. | 06:38 |
| Izinucs | nvclocknoob: where do you find that setting? | 06:38 |
| guohongsheng | Server LVM disk space, how clean and backup | 06:38 |
| wildbat | Jeebs, yes | 06:38 |
| === root is now known as Guest76135 | ||
| HermanDE_ | rww, That is the freedom of using Linux.... Slack and RPMs are supported under Ubuntu..... | 06:39 |
| maco | HermanDE_: not officially... and not here | 06:39 |
| rww | !alien | 06:39 |
| ubottu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 06:39 |
| Jeebs | just wanna get this straight, as I'll have to install java again in the live os. Only have one internet enabled computer around me atm. | 06:39 |
| rww | Note the "quite dangerous and unsupported". Same applies to repo mixing. | 06:39 |
| HermanDE_ | rww, Yea..... | 06:39 |

| rww | Jeebs: Try http://webchat.freenode.net/ . Empathy can do it, but it's a pain. | 06:40 |
| Guest31174 | use xchat | 06:40 |
| Izinucs | sorry yep | 06:40 |
| HermanDE_ | rww, a bot says so... so it's wrong.... weird.... | 06:40 |
| vu1kan | jeebs pidgin does irc | 06:40 |
| Jeebs | I'm using java.freenode.net atm | 06:40 |
| maco | vu1kan: pidgin isnt on the live cd | 06:40 |
| nvclocknoob | LZ i'm using powertweaks | 06:40 |

| vu1kan | my bad, i haven't used a live cd since 8.04 | 06:41 |
| Jeebs | alrighty. brb. | 06:41 |
| wildbat | Jeebs, just sudo apt-get install xchat | 06:41 |
| rww | Jeebs: assuming you enjoy wrestling with Java ;P | 06:41 |

| wildbat | xchat is far better then Java one | 06:41 |

| vu1kan | jkalex05 i used apt-get install eduke32, downloaded the shareware duke nukem 3d for the .wad;apt-get should unpack and install it for you, and to generate the directories you need to run eduke once | 06:45 |

| wildbat | Jeebs, just wipe the sdc2 and redo the extended ~ or wipe the whole disk , the gparted bef4 install winxp then ubuntu | 06:55 |
| clao | well_laid_lawn, got it to work, thanks anyway | 06:55 |

| tarikk | sorry i got dropped b4. so yea ... i got a USB sd card reader.. dmesg is showing me [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk sg2 type 0... but i dont know how to mount it | 06:58 |
| wildbat | Jeebs, huh? | 06:58 |
| Jeebs | wildbat, So you think start the drive over again? it's not a huge hassle as I have nothing installed on xp yet. | 06:58 |
| tarikk | and fdisk -l is not showing it i dont think | 06:59 |
| wildbat | Jeebs, that's the faster way rather then debugging the problem | 06:59 |
| Jeebs | cool, so format the lot now, make my linux partion (but don't install linux), install xp and then install linux? | 06:59 |
| Jeebs | partition | 06:59 |
| musictoto | hi all! why is the 64-bit desktop download marked as 'not recommended for daily desktop usage' ? | 07:00 |
| wildbat | Jeebs, yes wipe the disk ~ partition it -> install xp > install ubuntu | 07:00 |
| maco | musictoto: because most people dont know if they have 32 or 64 bit computers | 07:00 |
| maco | musictoto: and if they go "oooh 64's a bigger number, that makes it better, right???" and it doesnt boot, they get not happy | 07:00 |

| Jeebs | wildbat: is there any particular order I should have the OS's on the disk (linux first or windows?) | 07:01 |
| musictoto | maco: rww: to know if your processor supports 32 bit rather than 64 bit is only a search away though ? that's the only reason ? | 07:02 |
| wildbat | Jeebs, windows first ,then ubuntu | 07:02 |
| rww | musictoto: yup. 64-bit works fine on 64-bit computers. | 07:02 |
| wildbat | Jeebs, after partitioning always reboot ^^b | 07:02 |

| vu1kan | Shamoun have you tried adding your command to /ect/rc.local? | 07:20 |
| erry | wildbat, i tried ubuntu and netbook remix | 07:20 |
| erry | they panic before they boot to live mode | 07:20 |
| Shamoun | vu1kan, nope, i don't know anything about what im doing. let me try that | 07:20 |
| indus | erry, try the alternate cd if it exists | 07:20 |
| erry | indus, it's not going to work | 07:20 |
| erry | I already told you if it can't run it's not going to install | 07:21 |
| indus | erry, try boot from usb then | 07:21 |
| wildbat | erry, that's not a good sign ~ you may have hardware issue ~ anyway paste the panic error up may be someone can help | 07:21 |
| erry | indus, that's what i'm trying to do | 07:21 |
| erry | wildbat, how do i paste it? | 07:21 |
| erry | the os never starts | 07:21 |
| indus | erry, just manually write it here | 07:21 |

| Guest31174 | linux questions? | 07:22 |
| Shamoun | vu1kan, how do i add it to /etc/rc.local? do i just add the command /usr/sbin/service smbd start? | 07:22 |
| indus | erry, but anyways, kernel panic is a problem with hardware detection when its booting live cd, i have been there | 07:22 |
| erry | indus, i tried wubi | 07:22 |
| erry | and it had the same problem | 07:22 |
| indus | erry, my cd rom was on slave , i put it on master and solved my issue | 07:22 |
| indus | erry, ah wubi also ? | 07:22 |
| vu1kan | i think so, i'm pretty noobish myself, i just found that on the forums through google | 07:22 |
| erry | indus, kernel panic - not syncing: hwthreewire(): cmdreg: 0xff re|we bits are not clear!!!! | 07:23 |
| indus | erry, which netbook iks this ? try the regular ubuntu desktop edition, it works fine | 07:23 |
| erry | indus, i tried that | 07:23 |
| erry | indus, it has the exact same problem | 07:23 |
| erry | i thought netbook edition could fix it | 07:23 |
| indus | erry, netbook model, file a bug then too | 07:23 |
| erry | indus, toshiba t110 | 07:23 |
| indus | erry, but stick around for more help in any case | 07:23 |

| erry | indus, from the bios? | 07:25 |
| maco | erry: i filed so many bugs that were just plain user error when i started out...and now i'm a dev. we totally get that it happens | 07:25 |
| indus | erry, https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/bugme-new/2009-May/021916.html | 07:25 |

| maco | erry: there's nothing wrong with being new :) | 07:26 |
| erry | everyoen calls you stupid | 07:26 |
| maco | erry: not around here they don't | 07:26 |
| rww | FloodBot3 does not accept your apologies! | 07:26 |
| maco | erry: if anyone in this channel ever calls you stupid, you type "!ops" and they'll likely get kicked for being jerks | 07:26 |
| Shamoun | vu1kan, thank you so much that worked perfectly | 07:26 |
| indus | erry, no body will ridicule youwhen you file a bug, | 07:26 |
| Shamoun | i was struggling for hours | 07:26 |
| Shamoun | anyway, im gonna go relax a bit now | 07:26 |
| erry | indus, it's probably just my netbook | 07:27 |
| Shamoun | vu1kan, thanks a ton mate | 07:27 |
| erry | it came with windows | 07:27 |
| indus | erry, see, first the system searches automaticalyl for similar bugs | 07:27 |
| erry | ill buy 1 that comes with lkinux | 07:27 |
| vu1kan | Shamoun np, that's half of 'nix-helping each other out | 07:27 |
| erry | if i want linux | 07:27 |
| FloodBot3 | erry: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:27 |
| maco | erry: most computers do come with windos ;-) | 07:27 |
| erry | maco, well this is windiows only ill just buy a linux 1 and it will be fixed | 07:27 |
| erry | And im gonna get banned from here again ;/ | 07:27 |
| Jeebs | wildbat, I haven't tried formatting yet | 07:28 |
| Guest31174 | there are too many bugs in ubuntu | 07:28 |
| vu1kan | erry have you tried to run a live cd on your netbook? | 07:28 |
| erry | vu1kan, yes | 07:28 |
| maco | erry: could do, but filing a bug at least helps get the bug fixed for other people who try to switch that model to running linux. you'll be helping the community overall :) really, devs WANT to know when something's broken, that way we can fix it rather than having people upset about the broken | 07:28 |
| Jeebs | but it has a little warning sign next to unallocated space that says... unrecognized disk label | 07:28 |
| erry | maco, maybe it works without wireless | 07:28 |
| [Screamo] | Anyone have one of the new ipod nanos? | 07:28 |
| erry | maco, see its wireless that fux it | 07:28 |
| erry | but i'd like to have wireless | 07:28 |
| erry | it would be nice | 07:28 |
| maco | erry: watch language in here.... | 07:28 |
| indus | erry, ok found a similar issue | 07:28 |
| vu1kan | !ipod | 07:28 |
| ubottu | For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod | 07:28 |
| erry | indus, i dont have an ipod | 07:29 |

| [Screamo] | :| | 07:29 |
| indus | lol | 07:29 |
| wildbat | Jeebs, you should have wipe the first 4M with dd command @@ | 07:29 |
| erry | maco, can i turn wireless on later on? | 07:29 |
| [Screamo] | and it wasnt even indus that said it xD | 07:29 |
| indus | less sugar and more carrot juice helps | 07:29 |
| erry | cause i need it | 07:29 |
| [Screamo] | !rockbox | 07:29 |
| ubottu | rockbox is an open source firmware replacement for audio players from Archos, iRiver, Apple (iPod), and iAudio. See http://www.rockbox.org/ to get started! | 07:29 |
| maco | [Screamo]: hehe that too | 07:29 |
| erry | but i disabled it from the bios | 07:29 |
| indus | erry, here is your solution http://translate.google.co.in/translate?hl=en&sl=zh-CN&u=http://viaxl.com/%3Ftag%3Dtoshiba&ei=VgYfTJ3yBoeWrAegp-HNCw&sa=X&oi=translate&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CCgQ7gEwAzgK&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dhwthreewire%28%29:%2Bcmdreg:%2B0xff%2Bre%257Cwe%2Bbits%2Bare%2Bnot%2Bclear!!!!%26start%3D10%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26sa%3DN%26rls%3Dcom.ubuntu:en-US:official | 07:29 |
| Jeebs | so wait, what was that command again, and what does it do? | 07:29 |
| indus | oops | 07:29 |
| [Screamo] | meh | 07:29 |
| maco | erry: re-enable it in bios? | 07:29 |
| wildbat | Jeebs, do sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=4096 count=1024 | 07:29 |
| erry | maco, but then it will crush ubuntu | 07:30 |
| [Screamo] | i had rockbox on both my ipod video and my 1st gen nano, but thats about as far as it goes (sadly) | 07:30 |
| [Screamo] | :( | 07:30 |
| Jeebs | yup, and I did that a minute ago | 07:30 |
| erry | indus, that's not my problem | 07:30 |
| Jeebs | before restarting | 07:30 |
| maco | erry: does it not boot with wireless enabled? i missed the start of what your bug is... | 07:30 |
| wildbat | Jeebs, i write the disk with zero | 07:30 |
| erry | maco, it panics with wireless enabled | 07:30 |
| indus | erry, that is exactly your problem | 07:30 |
| erry | works fine without it but i need wireless | 07:30 |
| erry | indus, i dont have an ipod! | 07:30 |
| maco | erry: yikes | 07:30 |
| wildbat | we did the first 4MB | 07:30 |
| indus | what the hell is this ipod comment | 07:30 |
| erry | indus, "Ubuntu Toshiba T100 plug headphones loud speaker next stop was the problem finally solved .." | 07:31 |

| erry | indus, down it says 'looking for something?' | 07:31 |
| vu1kan | rockbox doesn't seem to support it, and neither does rhythmbox | 07:31 |
| [Screamo] | I dont see anything about the 5th gen nano | 07:31 |
| erry | indus, i'm not having a sound problem | 07:31 |
| indus | erry, no body will spoon feed you here | 07:31 |
| erry | I don't care about sound | 07:31 |
| indus | the problem is clearly mentioned in a few posts below | 07:31 |

| erry | can you please help me :( | 07:32 |
| erry | im a newbie | 07:32 |
| Jeebs | kk, so I tried to format | 07:32 |
| erry | I don't know chinese | 07:32 |
| erry | i'm sorry | 07:32 |
| maco | erry: the post in there that addresses your issue, i think, is: Toshiba T110 problems loading Ubuntu crash | 07:32 |
| erry | maco, i dont see that | 07:32 |
| wildbat | Jeebs, did it work? | 07:32 |
| maco | erry: so ctrl+F and look for "problems loading ubuntu crash" and itll take you to the bit about wireless | 07:32 |
| Jeebs | and it says it doesn't have a partition table atm. do I want to give it a ms-dos partition table? | 07:32 |
| maco | erry: you dont see that in the translation? | 07:33 |
| wildbat | yes | 07:33 |
| maco | erry: its nearly 1/2 way scrolled down | 07:33 |
| erry | maco, if i scroll down it's just black | 07:33 |
| nvclocknoob | so ubuntu already scales cpu freq? | 07:33 |
| maco | nvclocknoob: yes | 07:34 |
| Jeebs | wildbat, same deal. I'll try dropping that count | 07:34 |
| Shamoun | vu1kan, turns out it isn't fixed after all | 07:35 |
| sol1tude | hi, how can i do applications menu at desktop context menu? like in openbox | 07:35 |
| wildbat | Jeebs, hmmm ~ i think you have other issue ~ then.... | 07:36 |
| R3cur51v3 | I'm getting "WARNING: untrusted versions of the following packages will be installed!" when trying to install rpm utilities. How do I fix this? | 07:36 |
| nvclocknoob | soo how do i bring that info up..? | 07:36 |
| R3cur51v3 | oh wait | 07:36 |
| R3cur51v3 | nvm | 07:36 |
| vu1kan | Shamoun tsk...maybe try posting on ubuntuforums.org...you might have better luck finding out the name of the package there...it'll just take some time for a response | 07:36 |
| nvclocknoob | i have anbled support for it..and admin privlages | 07:36 |
| chenee_ | can I use gprof to analyse my programmer which use the libjpeg? | 07:36 |
| SandGorgon | quick question - how does one use the 'find' command to find all filenames with png OR jpg OR bmp as the suffix | 07:36 |
| Shamoun | vu1kan, well the package is really unimportant. i just don't understand why this isn't working | 07:36 |
| R3cur51v3 | I just needed to do aptitude update | 07:36 |
| R3cur51v3 | sorry | 07:36 |
| Shamoun | because it is technically starting smbd and nmbd | 07:37 |
| nvclocknoob | but cpufreq still tells me there isnt support | 07:37 |
| Shamoun | and then rc.local is restarting them | 07:37 |
| Guest31174 | SandGorgon, man find | 07:37 |
| Shamoun | but for some reason i can't connect from windows pcs | 07:37 |
| Shamoun | but if i execute service smbd restart | 07:37 |
| nvclocknoob | it's a p4 northwood 2.8 | 07:37 |
| Shamoun | i can connect all of a sudden | 07:37 |
| Shamoun | there's no logical explanation | 07:37 |
| wildbat | Jeebs, may be you can try fdisk. it is not a GUI thou | 07:38 |
| vu1kan | weird...i've only been able to access my buddy's vista laptop using samba...it won't even see my xp desktop | 07:38 |
| R3cur51v3 | wildbat, Jeebs, use cfdisk instead of fdisk | 07:38 |
| R3cur51v3 | it's gui-esq | 07:38 |
| R3cur51v3 | gui-esque | 07:39 |
| nvclocknoob | how do i know if ubuntu's native cpu scaling is working right? | 07:39 |
| R3cur51v3 | nvclocknoob, sudo aptitude install cpufrequtils | 07:39 |
| vu1kan | shamoun which ver. of ubuntu are you using? | 07:39 |
| R3cur51v3 | nvclocknoob, then do cpufreq-info | 07:39 |
| Jeebs | haha, could it have something to do with my sata controller? | 07:39 |
| R3cur51v3 | nvclocknoob, alternately just type "cpufreq-info" and let it install it for you | 07:39 |
| Shamoun | vu1kan, xubuntu lucid | 07:39 |
| R3cur51v3 | nvclocknoob, I hope it works out for you. I need to go to sleep. Later. | 07:40 |
| wildbat | R3cur51v3, no such package | 07:40 |
| v_v | hello. any one familiar with the ubuntu EnterPrise Cloud ? | 07:40 |
| R3cur51v3 | wildbat, umm type cfdisk in a terminal | 07:40 |
| Shamoun | vu1kan, could it be a security thing | 07:40 |
| R3cur51v3 | not that hard | 07:40 |
| Shamoun | vu1kan, maybe a firewalling thing, because i am running it with sudo its allowing it through | 07:41 |
| Guest31174 | v_v, what do you want to know | 07:41 |
| Shamoun | but otherwise it wouldn't | 07:41 |
| nvclocknoob | ty | 07:41 |
| v_v | i want to try the Cloud, with one single machine, that means, both the cluster controller and the node are on the same machine | 07:41 |
| v_v | Guest31174: hi | 07:41 |
| nvclocknoob | where do i look for cpufreq drivers? | 07:41 |
| chang | So ga | 07:41 |
| v_v | Guest31174: i want to try the Cloud, with one single machine, that means, both the cluster controller and the node are on the same machine, is that possible ? | 07:42 |
| Jeebs | wildbat, so what am I getting fdisk to do, create a partition table? | 07:43 |

| ubottu | nvclocknoob: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 07:44 |

| vu1kan | Shamoun i'll keep lookin while i can, if i come across something i'll let ya know | 07:57 |
| Beyecixramd | maco: sounds more like it... blekos, try what maco said ^ | 07:57 |
| nvclocknoob | so if i want a physical drive (flash) to be a swap i have to use a partition manager? | 07:57 |
| blekos | i think is gnome-rdp :) | 07:58 |
| Lint01 | blekos, RDP support in Linux is very outdated | 07:58 |
| Beyecixramd | nvclocknoob: what do you mean by "physical drive"? | 07:58 |
| alex87 | does anyone know where i can find the 64 bit flash beta? | 07:58 |
| Beyecixramd | nvclocknoob: all drives are physical from what i know... except cloud HDDs... | 07:58 |
| nvclocknoob | there are files..made to be used as swap..then a physical drive partitioned as a swap | 07:58 |
| blekos | hm, but I need to connect to Server 2003... | 07:58 |
| Beyecixramd | alex87: if it isn't in the official website (Adobe) you won't find it | 07:59 |
| Davin | Lint01, I had used Windows 7 to delete the partition, then I'd gone to GParted to add it back in, but even though I deleted it in Windows 7, it was still listed as a partition when I went in with GParted, so I deleted it that way, then replaced it with the extended partition | 07:59 |
| === [1]sassyn is now known as sassyn | ||
| nvclocknoob | physical drives are much faster and less demnding then having multiple swaps on one drive | 07:59 |

| blekos | there is remotedesktop client as well | 07:59 |
| nvclocknoob | is there a win7 thats free still? | 08:00 |
| bodzilla | no | 08:00 |

| nvclocknoob | it's like $250 | 08:00 |

| v_v | bodzilla: W7 means Windows 7 ? | 08:02 |
| nvclocknoob | yes | 08:02 |
| bodzilla | yes | 08:02 |
| alex87 | so no-one has a 64 bit version of flash lying around? | 08:02 |
| Lint01 | Unlike Linux, W7 supports 3D acceleration, for DirectX at least | 08:02 |

I'm trying to get started with a later version of rails than is in the (10.04) repository via a gem install...but when I go to run the 'rails' command, the repos jumps in with a 'the program rails is currently not installed' error.

| nvclocknoob | 3d fx is also driver/hw dependant | 08:03 |

| Lint01 | Davin, what exactly happens when you boot WIn7? | 08:03 |

| nvclocknoob | most gfx cards already suppot opengl | 08:04 |
| nvclocknoob | if the software needs or uses opengl and they coded it right it will be using opengl extentions | 08:05 |
| Beyecixramd | nvclocknoob: why would we want DirectX when there's OpenGL? (which is FAR SUPERIOR, for example, avatar was rendered on a cloud of Ubuntu servers, on OpenGL) | 08:05 |
| chang | Thanks to Beyecixramd!Ok, I'll try to find some information about SSH & VPN | 08:05 |
| nvclocknoob | check the software your using (like games) settings | 08:05 |
| Lint01 | The Mesa OpenGL driver is using software rendering, most likely your OpenGL drivers haven't been installed correctly <-- WTF is that? | 08:05 |
| nvclocknoob | was it opengl 2.0? | 08:06 |
| Beyecixramd | Lint01: you need to install a package to allow 3D rendering | 08:06 |
| Lint01 | Beyecixramd, which one? | 08:06 |
| nvclocknoob | your using restricted drivers | 08:06 |
| nvclocknoob | and yes anything other then directx is superior | 08:06 |
| Beyecixramd | nvclocknoob: too sad people keep coding for DX :( | 08:06 |
| nvclocknoob | opengl is on the gfx card natively | 08:07 |
| Lint01 | nvclocknoob, like DX | 08:07 |
| nvclocknoob | meaning less lag etc much much faster | 08:07 |
| nvclocknoob | dx is software only and uses cpu most of the time | 08:07 |
| Beyecixramd | nvclocknoob: that's not true... | 08:07 |
| nvclocknoob | and has to refrence files on the hd.. | 08:07 |
| nvclocknoob | shaders lighting textures.. if not hw supported by dx codeing..is software | 08:08 |
| Beyecixramd | nvclocknoob: if it was software only, i wouldn't be able to run Crysis on my dual core, 2'66 Ghz at 30 FPS in high settings | 08:08 |
| Davin | Lint01, Im going right into Windows Error Recovery and Windows Boot Manager. Boot Manager info "The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible." | 08:08 |
| Beyecixramd | nvclocknoob: and Nexuiz (OpenGL) runs at more or less the same speed with the same quality | 08:08 |

| Lint01 | DrSuess, don't worry, it's 1.2% still | 08:09 |

| nvclocknoob | yes you need protection | 08:10 |
| Beyecixramd | nvclocknoob: sorry, but you did something stupid then :) | 08:10 |
| Beyecixramd | nvclocknoob: in Windows, even if you don't touch a key, as soon as you're online, you're vulnerable | 08:11 |
| nvclocknoob | regardless of doing something stupid...it was a vulnerability | 08:11 |
| Beyecixramd | nvclocknoob: in Linux, it needs your password and such | 08:11 |
| Davin | Lint01 I did also try, after Windows 7 stopped booting, actually installing Ubuntu on the partition I'd already set up for it to see if that might get around it, which didn't work and might've been a bad plan. Start Up Repair can't seem to fix it, either | 08:11 |
| Beyecixramd | nvclocknoob: i can also program a bash script to erase my hard drive, and would that be a vulnerabilty? | 08:11 |
| nvclocknoob | the linux pc in my network..was used as well as hundreds of win and linux pc's...they did not need root | 08:12 |
| Lint01 | Beyecixramd, it needs no password if kernel has privilege escalation vulnerability | 08:12 |
| intmed | someone pls help | 08:12 |
| nvclocknoob | somehow they made a new profile in xp and made their own process | 08:12 |
| Beyecixramd | Lint01: obviously | 08:12 |

| Beyecixramd | nvclocknoob: you'll see anyway, that the rate of linux infection is lower than the rate of windows infections | 08:13 |
| Beyecixramd | nvclocknoob: if you're on Windows, without antivirus, bye bye | 08:13 |
| Beyecixramd | in linux without antivirus, you're safer | 08:13 |
| Lint01 | nvclocknoob, Windows has no SYN fllod problems since 1997, stop raving | 08:13 |
| nvclocknoob | yea well they persisted in shutting down norton,mcaffe,comodo,avast,avira,zonealarm..and then blocked the install of any known fw/anti-v software | 08:14 |
| nvclocknoob | lint win is vulnerably to a multitude of attacks | 08:14 |
| Beyecixramd | nvclocknoob: see? antivirus are useless | 08:14 |
| nvclocknoob | new ones every second | 08:14 |
| nvclocknoob | i can probably pulle up a log.. | 08:14 |
| Lint01 | nvclocknoob, stop spreading FUD | 08:14 |

| cgethycx | how do I permanently mount a network drive | 08:15 |
| Beyecixramd | nvclocknoob: no... | 08:15 |
| nvclocknoob | many hackers use diffrent tactics..some don't even use a traditional os.. | 08:15 |
| vu1kan | but how does that relate to ubuntu? | 08:15 |
| Beyecixramd | nvclocknoob: at least not the same way as in Windoww | 08:15 |
| Beyecixramd | Windows* | 08:15 |
| v_v | hello. i try to create a usb boot with the ubuntu startup disk creator. it tells me my usb stick needs to be formatted. so i just click the 'format' button, and nothing happened... | 08:15 |
| Beyecixramd | nvclocknoob: in windows, you can use trojans, worms, etc, in linux you need to hack a bit | 08:16 |
| Lint01 | he must be telling about Windows 2000 SP1, which he torrented back in 2001 | 08:16 |
| nvclocknoob | i see no diffrence in methods of attacks between os's and vulnerabilies..only reason linux has protections is cause people know what to protect..and make it so | 08:16 |

| sarthorks | i cant sign in to my gmail account through either pidgin or empathy. I am behind a proxy, but I know the proxy and I have applied it system-wide too. Gmail chat works fine from firefox, but cant connect through pidgin or empathy. However IRC is working through pidgin. How do i connect to gtalk? | 08:26 |
| Beyecixramd | squig: what, Ubuntu one or the Ubuntu one music store? or Grooveshark? | 08:26 |
| squig | Beyecixramd, grooveshark, oh dear thats nice | 08:27 |
| cgethycx | how do I permanently mount a network drive? | 08:27 |
| Beyecixramd | squig: Grooveshark is a web, flash-based service | 08:27 |
| erry | Can somebody help me | 08:27 |
| bobthemilkman | Sargun_Screen: Check your proxy settings in pidgin and empathy. Make sure they are using the system-wide settings, and that the system-wide settings will work for those protocols. | 08:27 |
| Beyecixramd | squig: for free, with ads, and there's also VIP without ads and some other stuff | 08:27 |
| erry | i need to install ndiswrapper and ndisgtk in a computer with no internet | 08:27 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: fetch the .debs | 08:27 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, but it depends on a lot of debs | 08:27 |
| erry | which themselves depend on a lot | 08:28 |
| erry | it will tkae forever | 08:28 |
| Jordan_U | erry: For what card? ndiswrapper should always be a last resort | 08:28 |
| erry | Jordan_U, a realtek 1 | 08:28 |
| erry | Jordan_U, i cant use the real driver it panics | 08:28 |
| erry | so i had to blacklist it | 08:28 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: create a service pack... there's a tool for that in Ubuntu and deb based distros | 08:28 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, what? | 08:28 |
| erry | :( | 08:28 |
| Jordan_U | erry: Have you tried installing linux-backports-wireless-lucid? | 08:28 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: at least iirc.. there's in Fedora | 08:28 |
| erry | Whi is this so hard | 08:28 |
| erry | Jordan_U, how | 08:28 |
| FloodBot3 | erry: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:28 |
| erry | it doesnt have internet | 08:28 |
| Jordan_U | !offline | erry | 08:29 |
| sarthorks | bobthemilkman: what do you mean by "and that the system-wide settings will work for those protocols." | 08:29 |
| ubottu | erry: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.alturl.com/ - See also !APTonCD | 08:29 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: it's not so hard. You just put the .deb and the tool auto downloads the dependencies, and packs them into a large, single file | 08:29 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, but they depend on other debs!! | 08:29 |
| erry | I cant download all that! | 08:29 |
| bobthemilkman | Make sure you don't have, for example, your computer configured to use an FTP proxy where it needs to have a SOCKS5 proxy. | 08:29 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: [...] and the tool auto downloads the dependencies, and packs them into a large, single file | 08:29 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: and why can't you download all that? | 08:30 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, this shoulnt only be for geeks | 08:30 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, Cause im leaving TOMORROW | 08:30 |
| erry | i dont have a year! | 08:30 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: what? :| | 08:30 |
| Jordan_U | erry: linux-backports-wireless-lucid has very few (no?) dependencies that aren't already installed. | 08:30 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, im leaving tomorrow | 08:30 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: download them now, simple as that, it won't take a year | 08:30 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, there's a ton of them | 08:30 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, for ndisgtk at least | 08:30 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: DOWNLOAD THEM, FOR GOD'S SAKE | 08:30 |
| Beyecixramd | except your internet is slow... | 08:31 |
| Jordan_U | !caps | Beyecixramd | 08:31 |
| ubottu | Beyecixramd: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 08:31 |
| Beyecixramd | in which case, it has nothing to do with being for geeks | 08:31 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, please dont be like that | 08:31 |
| erry | :( | 08:31 |
| cgethycx | how do I permanently mount a network drive? | 08:31 |
| erry | im sorry ok | 08:31 |

| bobthemilkman | erry: What you want is impossible. | 08:31 |
| erry | bobthemilkman, it needs some linux-image- | 08:31 |
| Beyecixramd | bobthemilkman: no it isn't... | 08:31 |
| erry | bobthemilkman, i cant believe i dont have that :/ | 08:31 |
| bobthemilkman | You want to install a program, and all it's dependencies, without downloading them all? | 08:31 |
| erry | fuu | 08:31 |
| erry | now i have to get that! | 08:31 |
| erry | and it probably depends on amillion packages!! | 08:32 |
| Beyecixramd | bobthemilkman: no, he wants to install a program and dependencies faster than his internet, that is impossible | 08:32 |
| Jordan_U | erry: Follow the directions ubottu gave. | 08:32 |
| erry | http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic | 08:32 |
| erry | im not downloading all that | 08:32 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: a million? | 08:32 |
| chang | Who is acquainted with GTK+ | 08:32 |
| erry | :| | 08:32 |
| erry | can somebody give me a deb of the backports thing | 08:32 |
| bobthemilkman | Beyecixramd: I suppose that way is more accurate. | 08:32 |
| erry | that INCLUDES all the packages? | 08:32 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: the pacakge with the most dependencies i ever seen is 30 dependencies... 1 hour to download them all... | 08:32 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, look | 08:33 |
| Jordan_U | erry: I believe that you have all of the dependencies installed already. | 08:33 |
| erry | s | 08:33 |
| erry | the problemis | 08:33 |
| crdlb | chang: in what way? | 08:33 |
| erry | Jordan_U, i dont | 08:33 |
| FloodBot3 | erry: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:33 |
| erry | i dont have linux-image-whatever | 08:33 |
| erry | Jordan_U, and the dependancies themselves have other dependancies | 08:33 |
| erry | so i'vefallen in a loop now | 08:33 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: no... | 08:33 |
| erry | it will never, ever end | 08:33 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, yes | 08:33 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: some dependencies have other dependencies... | 08:33 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, it requires linux-image | 08:33 |
| Beyecixramd | no, erry... no | 08:33 |

| Beyecixramd | erry: it will end | 08:33 |
| cgethycx | It is definatly not going to start | 08:33 |
| Jordan_U | erry: Yes you do, it's required to boot. If you follow the directions from ubottu it will tell you the package you need to download. | 08:33 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, which require 10 packages each! | 08:34 |
| bobthemilkman | I don't see how that's a problem. | 08:34 |
| erry | it is | 08:34 |
| erry | cause i cant get them all | 08:34 |
| erry | there's a million | 08:34 |
| Beyecixramd | ^ bobthemilkman exactly | 08:34 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: yes you can... | 08:34 |
| Jordan_U | erry: Trust me, please. | 08:34 |
| erry | can you please give me an easy way to get them all | 08:34 |
| erry | Omg why is thisso hard! | 08:34 |

| Beyecixramd | oh whatever... you're borin, erry | 08:34 |
| bobthemilkman | There should be no more than 100 packages for all dependencies on anything in ubuntu. | 08:34 |
| cgethycx | holly crap, how do I permanently mount a network drive? | 08:34 |
| Beyecixramd | you're not even listening, i'm going to stop helping you now | 08:34 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, look | 08:34 |
| Beyecixramd | cgethycx: for the last time, /etc/fstab | 08:34 |
| Jordan_U | erry: I have given you your answer, if you refuse to believe it then I cannot help you. | 08:35 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, it depends on linux-image | 08:35 |
| bobthemilkman | erry: We told you. check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. | 08:35 |
| erry | which depends on 100 packages | 08:35 |
| cgethycx | what dose that mean | 08:35 |
| erry | which depend on 100 packages each | 08:35 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: forget about me, listen to Jordan_U | 08:35 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: or the other people who want to help you.... | 08:35 |
| bobthemilkman | They don't depend on 10^4 packages. 10^4 would be over half of the packages in the repo. | 08:35 |
| Beyecixramd | exactly, bobthemilkman | 08:36 |
| Beyecixramd | god... | 08:36 |
| cgethycx | I do not understand "/ect/fstab" | 08:36 |
| erry | I generated the script | 08:36 |
| erry | now what? | 08:36 |
| Beyecixramd | cgethycx: it's a file where you can set up auto mount points | 08:36 |
| bobthemilkman | cgethycx: man fstab | 08:36 |
| Beyecixramd | cgethycx: it manages the auto mounting of your root, home, and etc directories | 08:36 |

| Jordan_U | erry: Look at the script, it should just contain (probably two) lines with "wget some_url" | 08:37 |
| erry | Jordan_U, my other computer doesnt have internet!!! | 08:37 |
| erry | ffs! | 08:37 |
| cgethycx | ok I am also a noob and have absolutely no Idea how to do that | 08:37 |
| bobthemilkman | erry: Your attitude is not conductive to being helped. | 08:37 |
| erry | bobthemilkman, i cant install these packages however | 08:37 |
| erry | bobthemilkman, because they depenmd on other packages | 08:37 |
| erry | and i do not have the dependancies | 08:37 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: exactly, you don't "deserve" to be helped, you have to gain the rights for being helped | 08:38 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, im just asking for help :( | 08:38 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: stop being so closed minded, then | 08:38 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, i dont get how to download the dependancies cause they each depend on other pakjcages | 08:38 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: apt-get and get the debs | 08:38 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, i tried the script it gets me the packages but that doesnt work cz they require other pakcages | 08:38 |
| erry | can you please just help :( | 08:39 |
| bobthemilkman | erry: Okay, let me walk you through this step by step by step. | 08:39 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: man apt-get, and look for how to download debs | 08:39 |
| EvilTrek | erry: sudo apt-get install <package> should install its dependencies then the dependencies of the dependencies AFAIK | 08:39 |
| Jordan_U | erry: This is the last time that I will tell you this, you have addmitted that you are new to linux and therefore less knowlageable. If you cannot defer to our experience and trust our answers then you might as well not ask for help. | 08:39 |
| erry | EvilTrek, but i dont have internet on my other pc | 08:39 |
| bobthemilkman | EvilTrek: That's not what he needs. | 08:39 |
| Beyecixramd | EvilTrek: he wants a file to transfer to another computer, without internet | 08:39 |
| erry | ^ | 08:39 |
| erry | exactly | 08:39 |
| erry | now can youpklease | 08:39 |
| erry | please help me | 08:39 |
| erry | im begging you | 08:39 |
| FloodBot3 | erry: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:39 |
| erry | ill give you a free shell account ok? | 08:39 |
| bobthemilkman | You shouldn't answer questions incorrectly. Answering questions almost correctly is 100 times worse than not answering at all. | 08:39 |
| EvilTrek | erry: ah i see. didnt see the thing about no internet | 08:40 |
| kmm25 | jest ktoś? | 08:40 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: stop using so much lines... | 08:40 |
| erry | ok let me try explaining again ok? | 08:40 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: go on | 08:40 |
| jussi | !enter | erry | 08:40 |
| ubottu | erry: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 08:40 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: in a single line, please | 08:40 |
| erry | i cannot install thepackmages i got from the script because i do not have the dependancies. | 08:40 |
| erry | That is all. | 08:40 |
| nvclocknoob | powernowd: PowerNow Daemon v0.97, (c) 2003-2006 John Clemens powernowd: Found 1 scalable unit: -- 1 'CPU' per scalable unit /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq: No such file or directory ??? what do instal.. do i need to restart?? | 08:40 |
| cgethycx | do i have to throw a fit like erry to have my hand held through my issue? | 08:40 |
| Beyecixramd | nvclocknoob: what do you need? | 08:40 |
| ennui | If I am going to dual boot OSX and Ubuntu on my macbook. Do I need a partition on which to write grub? what format should it be? Currently I have EFI, OSX, Ubuntu, Linux Swap, and a small amount of free space. | 08:41 |
| erry | cgethycx, dont make it worse | 08:41 |
| erry | ive been trying to get help 3 hours now | 08:41 |
| erry | and they dont get my problem | 08:41 |
| EvilTrek | erry: somewhere the dependencies for it should be listed. once you have that, you should be able to download the .deb files for each. | 08:41 |
| nvclocknoob | powernowd is asking for a directory that doesn't exit...how do i make it right? | 08:41 |
| nvclocknoob | exist | 08:41 |
| EvilTrek | erry: give me a sec... | 08:41 |
| Beyecixramd | ennui: yes, a single partition for GRUB. ext2 i would recommend, but Ubuntu can use ext4 on /boot i think | 08:41 |
| erry | EvilTrek, but i already have them in THIS computer | 08:41 |
| erry | EvilTrek, so it cant get the debs again | 08:41 |
| EvilTrek | erry: all of the dependency debs? | 08:41 |
| Beyecixramd | nvclocknoob: touch /that/specifical/file | 08:41 |
| nvclocknoob | 0.o? | 08:42 |
| Flannel | cgethycx: What sort of network drive? samba? NFS? | 08:42 |
| EvilTrek | erry: then assuming you have those .debs, you should be able to install those, i'll let others help you with that :) | 08:42 |
| erry | EvilTrek, how do i get the debs | 08:42 |
| erry | EvilTrek, it only got me 2 debs | 08:42 |
| bobthemilkman | erry: Step 1: Go to your other computer (the one without internet) | 08:42 |
| ghoti | Does Hyperthreading actually bring any signficant benefits? I'm seeing a ~$100 difference between an Intel E5506 (quad cpu) and E5518 (quad+HT). I don't know whether it's worth it. | 08:42 |
| nvclocknoob | ghoti yes!! | 08:42 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: listen to bobthemilkman^ | 08:42 |
| erry | bobthemilkman, but that doesn't have those packages in synaptic! | 08:42 |
| cgethycx | NFS i think | 08:42 |
| Jordan_U | ennui: You need a BIOS boot partition to reliably install grub to gpt (which is what macs use by default, and is required for drives larger than 2 terabytes) | 08:42 |
| bobthemilkman | erry: Step 2: Open up Synaptic and mark the package you want to install. | 08:42 |
| erry | bobthemilkman, but it doesnt have it | 08:42 |
| Flannel | ghoti: Probably not when you've already got 4 cores. | 08:42 |
| bobthemilkman | erry: Step 3: Go to file -> Generate script. | 08:42 |
| erry | bobthemilkman, b/c iu cant update it b/c i dont have internet | 08:43 |
| Beyecixramd | Jordan_U: no, GRUB can boot in EFI too | 08:43 |
| Jordan_U | Beyecixramd: I know that. | 08:43 |
| bobthemilkman | erry: It doesn't have synaptic package manager? Your other computer isn't Ubuntu? | 08:43 |
| erry | bobthemilkman, no | 08:43 |
| nvclocknoob | each core uses it's own ht thread /pipelines | 08:43 |
| erry | bobthemilkman, it has synaptic | 08:43 |
| erry | bobthemilkman, but the packages arent listed | 08:43 |
| nvclocknoob | or share one set | 08:43 |
| erry | bobthemilkman, cz i cant do apt-get update | 08:43 |
| bobthemilkman | erry: So it's database is out of date? | 08:43 |
| erry | bobthemilkman, yes | 08:43 |
| erry | bobthemilkman, and it doesnt have internet | 08:43 |
| ghoti | Flannel: that's what I was thinking, but for a semi-busy web server running a lot of PHP, I also wonder if spawning processes on "fake" CPUs might actually be *slower*. What do you think? | 08:43 |
| cgethycx | Flannel: NFS i think | 08:43 |
| nvclocknoob | even a multicore system greatly benefits from the bandwidth gained to ram and gfx and instructions per second | 08:44 |
| ghoti | I mean, a hyperthreaded CPU is NOT the same as a real one... | 08:44 |
| ennui | Beyecixramd: a bios partition in addition to one for grub? Doesn't the small EFI partition from the OSX install emulate the BIOS and then call grub to boot linux? | 08:44 |
| ghoti | nvclocknoob: why? | 08:44 |
| erry | bobthemilkman, is there a way to update its database? | 08:44 |
| Beyecixramd | ennui: there are tons of guides for Ubuntu on Mac OS X... google is your friend :) | 08:44 |
| Jordan_U | ennui: http://grub.enbug.org/BIOS_Boot_Partition ' | 08:44 |
| nvclocknoob | hyperthreading gives the cpu a dedicated line to ram and gfx etc.. | 08:44 |

| Jordan_U | erry: We have helped you, you just refuse to believe our answer. | 08:47 |
| cgethycx | Flannel: Thanks | 08:47 |
| Flannel | erry: You're being helped. Please stop being obnoxious, it makes people less likely to help you in the future. | 08:47 |
| bobthemilkman | erry: It's not that people aren't helping you. You refuse to be helped. | 08:47 |
| nvclocknoob | haveing assitant techs and direct access to various components makes things much faster | 08:48 |
| bobthemilkman | What you want is for me to walk over to your house, get on your computer, and then do every single step of the process while you sit back and watch. | 08:48 |
| erry | bobthemilkman, no i dont want that | 08:48 |
| liminal | hello | 08:48 |
| Jordan_U | ennui: To the mbr, after setting up a BIOS boot partition (carefully noting the warning at the end of the page I linked you to) | 08:48 |
| liminal | morning all | 08:48 |
| erry | bobthemilkman, i just cant find the offline repository :( | 08:48 |
| bobthemilkman | erry: Then read the two links I posted above. | 08:48 |
| mek8630 | I am still new to Linux and would like to set up a home network but haven't figured out how to do so. Can anyone give me some help on this? | 08:48 |
| erry | bobthemilkman, but its not working! | 08:48 |
| erry | i wish ud help me | 08:48 |
| nvclocknoob | mek..its pretty much PNP | 08:48 |
| erry | just give me a hint | 08:48 |
| bobthemilkman | erry: There's no way you could have possibly read the documentation I posted, and tried it, already. | 08:48 |
| liminal | I have a question about "swap memory" | 08:48 |
| ghoti | nvclocknoob: quickpath apparently replaces the FSB in Gainestown CPUs. How does Hyperthreading improve performance of communication with RAM and I/O? | 08:48 |
| bobthemilkman | Because I haven't even had enough time to read through all of it, and much less even try it out. | 08:49 |
| erry | bobthemilkman, what is the code name? | 08:49 |
| erry | bobthemilkman, which repository should i get? | 08:49 |
| mek8630 | nvclocknoob: what is PNP? | 08:49 |
| liminal | ive given my system 3.7gig of SWAP memory, but it doesnt seem to ever get used.. is somthing wrong? | 08:49 |
| Jordan_U | ennui: If you chose automatic/guided partitioning then the Ubuntu installer should have created a BIOS boot partition for you already, in which case you just need to install grub to the mbr following: grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide | 08:49 |
| bobthemilkman | erry: The one that matches your offline computer. | 08:49 |
| squig | mek8630, plug and prey! | 08:49 |
| bobthemilkman | Jaunty, Intrepid, etc. | 08:49 |
| erry | bobthemilkman, and which repo do i need? | 08:50 |
| mek8630 | squig: haha ok | 08:50 |
| nvclocknoob | by giving it physical addesses that can offload from the cpu independantly.. without the cpu baby sitting each thing.. it's another open channel and handler that can be used | 08:50 |
| well_laid_lawn | liminal: it is there for when you suspend or hibernate | 08:50 |
| erry | bobthemilkman, i added this line in my sources.list and did apt=get update but it's not in home | 08:50 |
| mek8630 | squig: so I take it settings up a home network is gonna be a pain in the butt? | 08:50 |
| bobthemilkman | erry: Go to your offline computer, Open up synaptic package manager, go to settings -> repositories, and use the same suitecodenames that it uses. | 08:50 |
| uLinux | How can I restrict a user to browser only his $home ? | 08:50 |
| nvclocknoob | it significanlty streamlines and speeds up processes and threading tasks | 08:50 |
| uLinux | How can I restrict a user to browser only his files $home ? | 08:50 |
| Pupeno | Can ls print the numerical mode of a file? | 08:50 |
| liminal | well_laid_lawn so in normal everyday usage it wont ever get used? | 08:51 |
| ghoti | Hmm. | 08:51 |
| erry | why is this so hard :( | 08:51 |
| bobthemilkman | erry: settings -> repositories -> Other software (the checked one) | 08:51 |
| well_laid_lawn | liminal: it rarely does here | 08:51 |
| bobthemilkman | erry: It's not hard. You just complain about your problems instead of trying to solve them, until someone else comes along and does it for you. | 08:51 |
| erry | bobthemilkman, none is checked | 08:51 |
| Jordan_U | erry: Copy the download script to the computer that you have internet access with, download the packages listed there (there should be two, one of which you don't strictly need), copy the packages back to your offline computer. | 08:51 |
| ghoti | nvclocknoob: and is linux "HTT-aware" per Intel's standard, whatever that is? (i.e. the kernel knows the difference between 8-core and quad-core+HTT?) | 08:51 |
| bobthemilkman | erry: Then choose the one with the most recent version. | 08:51 |
| Flannel | erry: `lsb_release -a` in a terminal on that machine will tell you | 08:52 |
| erry | bobthemilkman, i downloaded the repo supposedly but its not in home | 08:52 |
| Jordan_U | Flannel: The problem is that he'll need the package for his kernel version, so he should really use Synaptic's download script. | 08:52 |
| erry | bobthemilkman, can i download the repository in a deb? | 08:53 |
| Guest31174 | ubuntu rocks agree / disagree | 08:53 |
| mek8630 | does anyone in here know an easy way to set up a home network? | 08:53 |
| Beyecixramd | ghoti: from what i know, neither Linux nor Windows are HT-aware | 08:53 |
| erry | Guest31174, disagree because nothing works and nobody can hyelp | 08:53 |
| nvclocknoob | hmm i beleive it's handled on-chip and on-board...but would perform best if it can be confirmed that the os uses it.. it is also software dependent..if its not told to use it ..includeing multiple cores..it won't..but vt-vitualization on-chip..and most newer chips..will use this stuff regardless of os/software support | 08:53 |
| erry | in windows everythign lways works | 08:53 |
| Flannel | Guest31174: #ubuntu-offtopic for those sorts of questions, not here. thanks. | 08:53 |
| Flannel | erry: From what I've seen, you're absolutely refusing to be helped, and in doing so, wasting the volunteers time here. Please fix your attitude as you're being very disrespectful. | 08:53 |
| Beyecixramd | Guest31174: you're in a Ubuntu channel | 08:53 |
| erry | ubutnu sucks ass | 08:53 |
| erry | its horrible | 08:53 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: everything works, including viruses :) | 08:53 |
| Beyecixramd | too late | 08:53 |
| erry | :/ | 08:53 |
| bobthemilkman | erry: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Offline/Repository | 08:53 |
| erry | bobthemilkman, i tried that | 08:53 |
| jussi | !guidelines > erry | 08:53 |
| erry | bobthemilkman, it does not work.. | 08:53 |
| ubottu | erry, please see my private message | 08:53 |
| bobthemilkman | Read the documentation. It's very straightforward. | 08:53 |
| jussi | !offline | erry | 08:54 |
| ubottu | erry: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.alturl.com/ - See also !APTonCD | 08:54 |
| nvclocknoob | ghotti like the new phenoms will emulate what it thinks should be used.. even if software isnt coded to do so | 08:54 |
| ghoti | Beyecixramd: Really?! Then what OS is? FreeBSD? | 08:54 |
| nvclocknoob | linux? | 08:54 |
| wizard_2010 | hello all can I use virtualbox to run my windows 7 os that was already installed on my system if so how | 08:55 |
| nvclocknoob | wiz i think so.. | 08:55 |
| Beyecixramd | ghoti: all OSes see HT cores as physical cores | 08:55 |
| Beyecixramd | ghoti: at least from what i know... | 08:55 |
| jussi | wizard_2010: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Migrate_Windows | 08:55 |
| wizard_2010 | jussi, thanks | 08:56 |
| bobthemilkman | I have helped you out of the kindness of my heart, but you seem to not be appreciative of my help, despite your reliance upon it. Your problem here is not the difficulty of the task, but rather your inability to solve any problem, regardless of its difficulty. By simply telling you the answer to this problem, you will not gain the valuable life skills of being able to think your way through solving other problems. I am confident that if you w | 08:56 |
| bobthemilkman | ant to be able to do anything harder than open a door for the rest of your life, that you learn to be able to read documentation. I am through helping you. | 08:56 |
| uLinux | just found out want I want | 08:56 |
| nvclocknoob | it will detect them, though i haven't seen it as individual cores or co-processors | 08:56 |
| nvclocknoob | its does often report HT core frequencies as it is meant to bypass the fsb... | 08:57 |
| ennui | Jordan_U: It had created a small partition flagged with bios_grub but it was corrupted somehow. If I just reform at it to ext2 can I write grub to it? | 08:57 |
| ghoti | Beyecixramd: just found a FreeBSD box with a quad-i7 with HTT in it: | 08:57 |
| ghoti | FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 8 CPUs | 08:57 |
| ghoti | FreeBSD/SMP: 1 package(s) x 4 core(s) x 2 SMT threads | 08:57 |
| nvclocknoob | this is also another way it vastly improves system speeds | 08:57 |
| ghoti | So it seems to support that. | 08:57 |
| ghoti | (that was dmesg output, btw.) | 08:57 |
| nvclocknoob | xD | 08:57 |
| Beyecixramd | ghoti: in that case, probably Linux sees HT cores too | 08:58 |
| Beyecixramd | ghoti: and Windows | 08:58 |
| ghoti | ya, I would expect so. | 08:58 |
| Beyecixramd | ghoti: yup | 08:58 |
| jsoft | HT cores are fail | 08:58 |
| Beyecixramd | jsoft: yay! moar threads | 08:58 |
| nvclocknoob | i7 means you have 6 cores and 2 idle | 08:58 |
| nvclocknoob | ht is one of the "idle" cores | 08:59 |
| Jordan_U | ennui: I think you might not understand how a bios boot partition works. It's not a filesystem, so it's normal that it can't be mounted (it's not "corrupt) | 08:59 |
| ennui | Jordan_U: Though sudo mount /dev/sda4/mnt give me an error: saying it can't find /dev/sda/4/mnt in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 08:59 |
| nvclocknoob | and yes it seems linux see em and is using them properly | 08:59 |
| ennui | Jordan_U: I wasn't trying to boot from the bios partition. I was trying to boot from the linux file system I had installed minus grub (as it failed on installation) | 09:00 |
| Beyecixramd | nvclocknoob: all OSes use them properly, the capacity to distinct between physical cores and HT cores is slightly different | 09:00 |
| xshyamx | hi, I get a connection refused using wget inspite of having set the correct proxy in http_proxy...any ideas? | 09:00 |
| nvclocknoob | HT also has pipelines like a gfx card..these can be unlocked with tweaking if supported.. you must lookinto specific cores and stuff | 09:00 |
| nvclocknoob | yup | 09:00 |
| nvclocknoob | diffren mobo manu's will restrict access to some of these...like dells | 09:01 |
| ghoti | xshyamx: have you checked the logs in your proxy server? Also, try dumping all your HTTP headers to see if an error is being reported there. | 09:01 |
| ghoti | xshyamx: that's the "-S" flag for wget, I think. | 09:02 |
| xshyamx | ghoti: don't have access to proxy server logs but, will check the http headers and see | 09:02 |
| Jordan_U | ennui: the mount command should be exactly "sudo mount /dev/sda4 /mnt" (note where there are spaces, copy and paste the command if you need to) | 09:02 |
| nvclocknoob | well in the begining some os's didnt know what the heck to do...in time things have become much more utilized..thx to things like vitualization and varios 32bit to 64bit advances | 09:02 |
| UserSomoyakno | anyway to make xchat list the channels in the order of people in them | 09:02 |
| nvclocknoob | and emulation | 09:03 |
| erry | Hello i'm not sure qhich repository i need to download | 09:03 |
| erry | is there a way to figure that out? | 09:03 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: repositories are not files. repositories are databases of files | 09:03 |
| ghoti | xshyamx: You can also use `curl` for debugging. something like: curl -x host:port -I http://example.com/ | 09:03 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, yes im not sre which 1 i need though | 09:04 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: you don't "download" a repository, you use a repository to download a file | 09:04 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: what file you need to get? | 09:04 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, yes i know but im following the instrunctions you linked me to | 09:04 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, the wireless 1 | 09:04 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: uhmm... what do you want to do | 09:04 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: install the wireless package? | 09:04 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, install a wieress dreiver in a computerwith no internet | 09:04 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, i was suggested to use a backports package | 09:05 |
| erry | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/i386/linux-backports-modules-wireless-karmic-generic | 09:05 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: you should need no repos, apart from the ones you have already installed | 09:05 |
| erry | i think that 1 | 09:05 |
| ghoti | 4AM ... | 09:05 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, but i dont have any installed its out of date | 09:05 |
| * ghoti heads for bed | 09:05 | |
| chang | GTK+ | 09:05 |
| chang | WHO | 09:05 |
| Jordan_U | erry: Please open Synaptic on the offline computer, choose file > generate package download script, copy the script over to the online computer, download the packages (using the URLs in the script), then copy the packages back to the offline computer. | 09:05 |
| Jordan_U | erry: Any other way of doing this is likely to fail. | 09:05 |
| erry | Jordan_U, the repositories of the OFFLINE computer are out of date | 09:05 |
| chang | painter | 09:06 |
| erry | Jordan_U, therefor my package is not there | 09:06 |
| Beyecixramd | Jordan_U: obviously, what would you expect | 09:06 |
| Beyecixramd | erry* did* | 09:06 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: you need no repos in your offline computer. repos are online, if your computer is offline, repos are useless | 09:06 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, but how am i going to make the download script | 09:06 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, but you linked me to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Offline/Repository | 09:07 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: i didn't | 09:07 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, and according to that you can download the repository | 09:07 |
| Jordan_U | erry: There should be a package "linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic" even if your computer has never been connected to the internet. | 09:07 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, can you please tell me which repository a package is in? | 09:07 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: no, you can add a repository | 09:07 |
| erry | Jordan_U, well it's NOT there | 09:07 |

| Beyecixramd | nvclocknoob: no idea if not touch | 09:08 |
| erry | Jordan_U, that computer has never had an apt update in its life. | 09:08 |
| nvclocknoob | ohh touch" is a program? | 09:08 |
| erry | brb | 09:08 |
| erry | But anyway i dont think you know the original problem | 09:08 |
| erry | look Jordan_U Beyecixramd what i want is another driver for my netbook b/c the original 1 kills the kernel | 09:09 |
| Beyecixramd | nvclocknoob: yup | 09:09 |
| erry | And i tried ndiswrapper but it didn't work | 09:09 |
| Beyecixramd | nvclocknoob: creates zero-byte (empty) files | 09:09 |
| erry | and then you told me i should try the backports pacjage | 09:09 |
| mek8630 | erry: why dont you just install an up to date version of Ubuntu on your computer that DOESN'T have internet yet that will come with all your wireless packages | 09:09 |
| erry | mek8630, huh? I'm using 9.10 | 09:09 |
| erry | mek8630, i just installed it | 09:09 |
| HBSC | does anyone here know anything about 4GB micro sd cards being recognised as 32MB with an invalid partition table? | 09:10 |
| mek8630 | erry: yeah get 10.04 | 09:10 |
| erry | mek8630, i meant 10.04 | 09:10 |
| erry | that's what i haver | 09:10 |
| erry | honestly | 09:10 |
| erry | i jsut got confused | 09:10 |
| Sheepherd | hey guys how do i edit the nautilus context menu? and not just add custom commands with "nautilus actions" | 09:10 |
| FloodBot3 | erry: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:10 |
| ennui | Bash says it doesn't know the "unmount" command :/ | 09:10 |
| Beyecixramd | Sheepherd: that's the only way i know of | 09:10 |
| Flannel | ennui: it's umount (no N) | 09:10 |
| erry | ennui, umount | 09:10 |
| Beyecixramd | HBSC: can you format it? | 09:10 |
| erry | I said it first | 09:10 |
| erry | see | 09:10 |
| erry | im helpful see im not a noob | 09:10 |
| ennui | <--- idiot | 09:10 |
| Beyecixramd | HBSC: low level formatting | 09:10 |
| Sheepherd | Beyecixramd: so removing items isnt possible? | 09:11 |
| Beyecixramd | lol erry | 09:11 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, can you help me with ndiswrapper then | 09:11 |
| erry | cause this isn't going to work | 09:11 |
| HBSC | iBeyecixramd i've tried mkdosfs and mkfs | 09:11 |
| Beyecixramd | Sheepherd: to remove stuff, you need to uninstall the package that added that stuff, or seek for the nautilus action files, they could be stored everywhere | 09:11 |
| Flannel | erry: Have you tried just downloading the few packages and installing them to see if they'll work? | 09:11 |
| HBSC | and no dice. | 09:11 |
| Beyecixramd | HBSC: are you sure your drive is not broken? how old it is? | 09:11 |
| erry | Flannel, my netbook is offline. | 09:12 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: zero experience with ndiswrapper | 09:12 |
| mek8630 | erry: if you are using 10.04 and are wanting to use wireless internet it should already have that preinstalled | 09:12 |
| Flannel | erry: Yeah, but you can sneakernet them over | 09:12 |
| HBSC | i'm trying to rule that out... it's pretty new and it stopped mounting in an android phone | 09:12 |
| erry | omg | 09:12 |
| erry | ok listen i'm going to say my problem once more | 09:12 |
| erry | This _came_ with a driver. I had to _blacklist_ the driver because the kernel panicked. | 09:12 |
| erry | I am now looking for adriver that doesn't have that problem | 09:12 |
| Beyecixramd | HBSC: you know flash drives have a write limit, right? | 09:12 |
| erry | That's simple | 09:13 |
| Beyecixramd | HBSC: if you have intensively used that drive, it could be fawkd up | 09:13 |
| Flannel | erry: And how will you know which drivers don't unless you try them? | 09:13 |
| erry | Flannel, i'm trying with ndiswrapper but they're not working | 09:13 |
| orlarmy | hello | 09:13 |
| nvclocknoob | hbsc does the drive contain data? | 09:13 |
| orlarmy | can anybody body plz welcome me here | 09:13 |
| orlarmy | i am new here | 09:13 |
| HBSC | Beyecixramd, it's pretty new... but it could be messed up regardless, i guess | 09:14 |
| cgethycx | erry cant you just plug you lan into your laptop and do all of the steps that everyone has recommended? | 09:14 |
| Beyecixramd | welcome, orlarmy | 09:14 |

| erry | i need _that_ to work | 09:14 |
| orlarmy | hello beye | 09:14 |
| Sheepherd | Beyecixramd: oh well so i guess removing default items like "resize icon" cant be removed that easily? | 09:14 |
| Jordan_U | erry: I just successfully followed my own instructions in a brand new virtual machine, that I did not ever allow to connect to the internet. | 09:14 |
| nvclocknoob | HBSC is the drive formatted? does it contain data? | 09:14 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: what the ... you only have wireless and no cable (ethernet) in your netbook? | 09:14 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, i dont have a cable | 09:14 |
| cgethycx | how do you only have wireless | 09:14 |
| HBSC | invclocknoob was trying to mount the thing to run photorec for data recovery... | 09:14 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: how much did that piece of... netbook cost... 50 euros?! | 09:14 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, i have a hole for the cable but not the cable | 09:14 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, no no i have an adapter. but not the actual cable | 09:15 |
| nvclocknoob | but have you looked at it with a gpart or the like? | 09:15 |
| nvclocknoob | HSBC^^ | 09:15 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: okay okay, i was scared | 09:15 |
| orlarmy | can somebody plz put me thru here? | 09:15 |
| HBSC | nvclocknoob, it should have data. fdisk doesn't recognise the partition table | 09:15 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, so can you please hel | 09:16 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: can't you... disconnect some device temporarily to get ethernet working? | 09:16 |
| nvclocknoob | i have one gig stick with two partitions..so each one detect separately as 512mb | 09:16 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, i do not have an ethernet cable | 09:16 |
| Beyecixramd | orlarmy: what do you need help for? | 09:16 |
| Beyecixramd | orlarmy: the IRC channel? Ubuntu itself? | 09:16 |
| cgethycx | run to wal mart and get one | 09:16 |
| nvclocknoob | if there is a partion useing all but 32mb then it will detect in linux as that free space.. | 09:16 |
| Beyecixramd | orlarmy: some specific issue regarding Ubuntu...? | 09:16 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: :| | 09:16 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, still i need wirelss to work | 09:17 |
| HBSC | onvclocknoob, i just looked at it w/ gparted and it says "unrecognised disk label" | 09:17 |
| Cheery | why's the 64-bit version is not recommended for daily desktop? | 09:17 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: i think it's easier than that | 09:17 |
| Flannel | I'll remind everyone that when you're helping, you should be helpful. "Go get one" isn't a proper solution. | 09:17 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, if ui use ethernet to download the packages | 09:17 |
| erry | will wireless work after? | 09:17 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: what chipset is your wireless card? | 09:17 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: obviously | 09:17 |
| Cheery | just a small question | 09:17 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: it should | 09:17 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, are you sure? | 09:17 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, well i bet 50 bucks it wont | 09:17 |
| nvclocknoob | it has been formatted, with issues or an un recognised label..these are usually msdos or fat32... | 09:17 |
| Jordan_U | erry: If you are using 64 bit Ubuntu then this is the one and only file you need: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-backports-modules-2.6.32/linux-backports-modules-wireless-2.6.32-21-generic_2.6.32-21.11_amd64.deb | 09:17 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: ethernet worked in all pcs i have tried, out of the box, in Linux | 09:17 |
| orlarmy | i can remember those day that i am using gloria on mint that there is a way i can right click on files to upload to internet | 09:17 |
| erry | Jordan_U, ok lemme try that | 09:18 |
| cgethycx | neither is /ect/fstab | 09:18 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: unlike Windows... by the way :) | 09:18 |
| centrodia | hola | 09:18 |
| orlarmy | but there is no way to do that on ubuntu 10.04 | 09:18 |
| nvclocknoob | HSBC this can happen if its an unusal format..or was not safely removed in another os... | 09:18 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, wirelss worked in all windows pcs i tried | 09:18 |
| orlarmy | can you plz put me thru? | 09:18 |
| Beyecixramd | centrodia: no hables español, por favor, este canal es sólo de inglés | 09:18 |

| Beyecixramd | orlarmy: sure, you need to install the mint tools | 09:18 |
| Guest31174 | it is free software dont expect too much | 09:18 |
| erry | Guest31174, oh it's free? | 09:18 |

| erry | Beyecixramd, realtek | 09:21 |
| nvclocknoob | so you've always used this device in liux? | 09:21 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: i'm not an op neither your mom, get back to the topic :| | 09:21 |
| removido | totem is with color balance off in lucid, how to enable? use nvidia driver and installed ubuntu perfect script | 09:21 |
| HBSC | nvclocknoob, i have used it in an android phone | 09:21 |
| nvclocknoob | ahh | 09:21 |
| HBSC | and it stopped mounting | 09:21 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, see i had adriver that crashed my kernel and im trying another | 09:21 |
| erry | Jordan_U, i installed your package | 09:22 |
| erry | Jordan_U, still no wireless | 09:22 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: do you know the specific model of your wireless card? | 09:22 |
| nvclocknoob | andriod has its own format and labeling not recognised by linux...its a diffrent kernal compilation.. | 09:22 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: you'll likely need to reboot | 09:22 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, i did | 09:22 |
| erry | Beyecixramd, no im not sure which model itis.. | 09:22 |
| mek8630 | erry: I know this may seem a bit simple but...You are enabling the wireless after you install that package right? | 09:22 |
| Jordan_U | erry: Did you unblacklist the driver? | 09:22 |
| erry | Jordan_U, no if iu do that the kernel will die! | 09:22 |
| HBSC | nvclocknoob, do you know the filesystem that android uses? | 09:22 |
| cgethycx | everyone is trying to help a guy that does not want to be helped, and all I need help with is how to perm. mount a folder on another linux computer in my house. The link I was given was not for noobs. | 09:23 |
| nvclocknoob | it was probably this 32mbs used on the android and is now sceane as the only valid partition .. | 09:23 |
| Beyecixramd | erry: 5 minute result on scroogle http://rtl-wifi.sourceforge.net/wiki/Main_Page | 09:23 |
| Beyecixramd | minutes* | 09:23 |
| Perun | why does 'sudo -i locale' show locale of $user and not root? | 09:23 |
| Jordan_U | erry: That package has installed a newer version of the driver, which may have that bug fixed (it also may not, but it's worth testing) | 09:23 |
| nvclocknoob | it may be possible to use the remaining freespace and make another partition for ubuntu so you can use it for both the droid and ubunut | 09:24 |
| erry | Jordan_U, ok hoqw do i reenable it after removing the blacklist line | 09:24 |
| HBSC | nvclocknoob, i'm trying to recover data from the partition that the phone used | 09:25 |
| nvclocknoob | and not lose info/data by formatting the whole thing only to repeat it the nxt time you attache it to the droid.. | 09:25 |
| cgethycx | erry: have you tried a fresh install? | 09:25 |
| Jordan_U | erry: Either reboot or run "sudo modprobe module_name" in a terminal. | 09:25 |
| erry | Jordan_U, i tried the latterbut itdidnt help | 09:25 |
| erry | Jordan_U, ill t ry a reboot | 09:25 |

| HBSC | nvclocknoob, thanks for your time, i think you pointed me in the right direction! i guess android uses YAFFS by default (i thought it was FAT16 like cameras) | 09:28 |
| ikonia | erry: are you able to boot from a livecd and mount the disk to re-blacklist it | 09:28 |
| erry | ikonia, i can boot to my original installation if i disable wireless from the bios | 09:29 |
| erry | so don't worry | 09:29 |
| mek8630 | bihari: whats wrong | 09:29 |

| ikonia | no | 10:08 |
| nvclocknoob | hogwash | 10:08 |
| ikonia | no | 10:08 |
| nvclocknoob | i bet i'd have to build it into it as a memory refrence.. =c | 10:08 |
| ikonia | nvclocknoob: if you think you know the answer - why are you asking if it can be done | 10:08 |
| ikonia | nvclocknoob: if you know you can do it - do it | 10:09 |
| nvclocknoob | =o | 10:09 |
| nvclocknoob | if i knew the memoey maps and how to get the card to use them and what file to modify i would have..?? | 10:09 |
| ikonia | nvclocknoob: you can't do it | 10:09 |
| erry | Its not gonna work | 10:09 |
| nvclocknoob | lol "can't" is not the linux way of things.. | 10:10 |
| erry | nvclocknoob, fine, fix wireless then | 10:10 |
| ikonia | nvclocknoob: yes it is, if you want to be able to do it, get hooked into the video drivers in the kernel and learn how to do it | 10:10 |
| ikonia | nvclocknoob: however it is currently not possible within an ubuntu installation | 10:10 |
| erry | ikonia, oh so we should fix it ourselves | 10:11 |
| erry | fine | 10:11 |
| erry | Ill fix it myself | 10:11 |
| erry | ill make my own wireless driver | 10:11 |

| ikonia | erry: I understnad you want help, hang in there and someone maybe along, filing a bug is also worth while if you think it's a legitimate error with the software | 10:11 |
| erry | ikonia, well im not sure | 10:12 |
| erry | its probably something i did :( | 10:12 |
| erry | but other people have the problem too | 10:12 |
| nvclocknoob | dude most wireless adpaters are already supported...specify your model and vendor... | 10:12 |
| carneiro | erry: what is the problem ? | 10:12 |
| erry | carneiro, the driver for my card causes a kernel panic so i had to black list it | 10:12 |
| rww | erry: which card | 10:12 |
| erry | carneiro, im now trying to load the windows driver with ndiswrapper but to no avil | 10:12 |
| erry | rww, rtl8187se | 10:13 |
| carneiro | erry: this goes beyond me ... file a bug ... some1 will respond | 10:13 |
| erry | carneiro, fine | 10:14 |
| ikonia | erry: aplogies if I've missed it, but what actual card is it | 10:14 |
| ikonia | apologies I mean | 10:14 |
| erry | ikonia, rtl8187se | 10:14 |
| rww | ikonia: rtl8187se | 10:14 |
| erry | um | 10:14 |
| erry | when filing a bug, i should reproduce the crash right? | 10:14 |
| Worms | erry: You need not necessarily panic when the kernel panics. Please detail your problem in one line. | 10:14 |
| erry | lol | 10:14 |
| ikonia | erry: what note book is this in | 10:14 |
| erry | ikonia, toshiba tt110 | 10:15 |
| nvclocknoob | erry when i first started using ubuntu my wusb54g linksys adpater wasnt supported...or was buggy..it turned out my router was using wifi-g and ubuntu only covers wifi-b | 10:15 |
| erry | t110* | 10:15 |
| erry | nvclocknoob, i have an entirely different oproblem. | 10:15 |
| erry | nvclocknoob, the actual driver causes a kernel panic | 10:15 |
| nvclocknoob | ew | 10:15 |
| erry | tha'ts worse than ust 'not supported' :p | 10:15 |
| nvclocknoob | are there older drivers? | 10:15 |
| bullgard4 | 10:15 | |
| ubottu | 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. | 10:15 |
| erry | bullgard4, i already googled it | 10:16 |
| nvclocknoob | damn right^^ | 10:16 |
| erry | .-. | 10:16 |
| nvclocknoob | also make sure you arent installing dev files or beta?? erry?? | 10:16 |
| bullgard4 | erry: I did not direct this message to you. | 10:16 |
| erry | nvclocknoob, i dont think so | 10:16 |
| erry | nvclocknoob, this is a stable release. | 10:16 |
| ikonia | erry: have a glance through this bug (it's not the same hardware) and see if the drive info shows any relvence to you https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/246141 | 10:17 |
| erry | ikonia, kk | 10:17 |
| erry | ikonia, well the bug doesn't mention kernel panic. | 10:17 |
| nvclocknoob | lol stable only means bugs have not been submitted to the manufactureer..nvidia made a driver set a whileago that burned peoples cards out..it was originally fully declared stable | 10:17 |
| ikonia | erry: no but it is talking about the driver and it's issues | 10:17 |
| erry | ikonia, well so should i just reply to that | 10:18 |
| erry | :/ | 10:18 |
| erry | i guess i cant open my own bug | 10:18 |
| erry | cause im a noob and nobody will take me seriously | 10:18 |
| ikonia | erry: you can open your own bug | 10:18 |
| ikonia | erry: people will take a bug that's well written without emotion, and good feedback and info very serious | 10:18 |

| nvclocknoob | jesus the last time i looked at the clock it said 2 am it freakin 5am now =c | 10:19 |
| nvclocknoob | i guess i'll make a post about my issues | 10:20 |
| carneiro | nvclocknoob: the hardware and system clock have a drift :( | 10:20 |
| erry | ikonia, In what package did you find this bug? | 10:20 |
| kokozedman | rww: thanks man! ... do you how to update it? as I have just set UTC=no, and it is currently still pointing on UTC | 10:20 |
| Worms | erry: linux is nightmare when wireless is concerned. | 10:20 |
| erry | ikonia, should i put linux-wireless-backports or something? | 10:20 |
| ikonia | erry: where did you get the driver ? | 10:21 |
| rww | kokozedman: restart your computer and set the time properly in the BIOS | 10:21 |
| ikonia | erry: is it a stock one from within ubuntu ? | 10:21 |
| erry | ikonia, within ubuntu | 10:21 |
| nvclocknoob | carnerio...are you a us citizen..do you remeber when they advanced gps time 4 hours? | 10:21 |
| erry | and i also need to be fixing my bugs in my software atm | 10:21 |
| rww | kokozedman: you can set it through hwclock, but it's horribly confusing | 10:21 |
| erry | so i need to get done with this | 10:21 |
| ikonia | erry: just put it in the linux-wirless meta package | 10:21 |
| carneiro | nvclocknoob: not an US citizen | 10:21 |
| kokozedman | rww: :) ok ... i can't set the time in BIOS, because it's a remote server | 10:21 |
| erry | ikonia, linux-backports-modules-wireless? | 10:22 |
| rww | kokozedman: oh, fun. see "man hwclock", then, it has the relevant commands | 10:22 |
| ikonia | why back ports ? is the package from backports ? | 10:22 |
| nvclocknoob | well congress..advanced our clocks..probably to acount for axis shifts | 10:22 |
| carneiro | nvclocknoob: what is the issue ? | 10:22 |

| nvclocknoob | that is way off topic.. =c | 10:22 |

| erry | and once i modprobedAFTER booting andit crashed | 10:27 |
| erry | so | 10:27 |

| ikonia | erry: ok - clean reboot, try again, try to be careful to make sure it's a valid test | 10:28 |

| === Sww_ is now known as Swinside | ||
| erry | ikonia, should i reboot anyway? | 10:29 |
| ikonia | erry: well, I'd just use that to log the bug | 10:29 |
| erry | use what? | 10:29 |
| ikonia | erry: it's clear that, that specific module on your system causes a kernel panic | 10:29 |
| erry | ok | 10:29 |
| ikonia | erry: makes sure you machine is not overclocked in any way, and log a bug stating that | 10:29 |
| erry | ikonia, but if i reboot it willprobably crash in boot | 10:29 |
| erry | and then i cant prove its the module that does it | 10:30 |
| ikonia | erry: sounds reasonable yes | 10:30 |
| nvclocknoob | zipper maybe? | 10:30 |
| ikonia | erry: you just proved it's the module | 10:30 |
| zipper | nvclocknoob, how do i fix it? | 10:30 |
| erry | oh | 10:30 |
| erry | ok | 10:30 |

| pretender | ubuntu 10.04 getting an error unable to mount samba network shares also a message about also failed to retrieve share list but its intermittent | 10:41 |
| Slart | kanzie: replace "gunzip -d {}" with "rm {}" . You might want some extra switches with that in case it wants confirmation for each delete | 10:41 |
| erry | is the rtl8187se driver in linux-backports-modules-wireless-2.6.32-21-generic ? | 10:41 |
| yoyoned | kanzie: look at the fine man page. I am pretty sure find can do that by itself | 10:41 |
| Slart | kanzie: {} is the placeholder for the filename | 10:41 |
| kanzie | Slart: thanks | 10:41 |
| kanzie | slart: great, that is what I needed to know | 10:41 |
| Slart | kanzie: hmm.. come to think of it.. I'm not sure what the -execdir switch does.. I think I've always used just -exec.. check the man page to make sure it's not doing something weird | 10:42 |
| kanzie | Slart: its just that it runs from the subdir where the found file is | 10:43 |
| unop | Slart, -execdir is like -exec except it changes directory to where the file resides -- needed for the gunzip as he'd like to extract files where they are not in the current dir. | 10:44 |
| arand | Does 10.04 automtically setup an ext2 /boot if installing "guided" LVM? Why? Is there some things grub2 still wont be able to handle on an LVM? Encryption? | 10:44 |
| Slart | kanzie, unop: ah.. every day you learn something new =) Thanks! | 10:44 |
| kanzie | unop: but what does the trailing \ do, newline? | 10:44 |
| taisa | is it possible to optimize the filesystem during the boot fsck with "fsck -D"? "/fsckoptions" file ? | 10:45 |
| unop | kanzie, you mean \; ?? that's to terminate the -exec or -execdir command | 10:45 |
| uLinux | How can I make a file read-only using terminal? | 10:45 |
| dewd | hi guys. I have a question | 10:45 |
| unop | kanzie, because you can have multiple -execs or other find predicates afterwards ... and you need to tell find where one -exec terminates and another begins. | 10:45 |
| dewd | is there a univeral path to folders like../User/Download or Desktop. it varies depending on your language | 10:46 |

| ikonia | delaman1: imap is nothing to do with smtp | 10:50 |
| dewd | I mean something like ~/ instead of /home/user/ | 10:50 |

| geirha | dewd: Or actually, that combined with this: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xdg-user-dirs | 10:58 |

| dewd | my script is a simple one which should run off a live cd mostly | 10:59 |

| Ghostly | umm, default i guess i am quite new to ubuntu -.- | 11:11 |
| ikonia | bnv: this is ubuntu support, try #ubuntu-offtopic for chatter | 11:11 |
| DASPRiD | Sm3gal, or well, i don't think you really mean ddos but dos, do you? | 11:11 |
| bnv | ikepanhc, ok, sorry :) | 11:12 |
| Sm3gal | i used ettercap | 11:12 |
| nikin | Does Gnome support the icon size settings in gtk themes? | 11:12 |
| Sm3gal | and ran a dos attack | 11:12 |
| hotfloppy | does anyone know where's the plugins directory for pidgin 2.7 ? | 11:12 |
| Sm3gal | i was told that was ddos | 11:12 |
| bnv | Are they using joysticks on ubuntu? | 11:12 |
| ikonia | bnv: you can use joysticks, sure | 11:13 |
| Sm3gal | isn't ddos http and udp flooding @the same time? | 11:13 |
| deamon_ | #ubunyu-ru | 11:13 |
| nikin | i use a gamepad (logitech) with ZSNES | 11:13 |
| ikonia | Sm3gal: don't worry about the dos - just reboot your desktop and make sure you've stopped the attack | 11:13 |
| Sm3gal | i have | 11:13 |
| Sm3gal | sevral times | 11:14 |
| ikonia | Sm3gal: ok - reboot your machine and that will prove it's not the dos attack | 11:14 |
| Sm3gal | net is still down | 11:14 |
| salil | hotfloppy: /usr/lib/pidgin | 11:14 |
| ikonia | Sm3gal: ok - so it's not the dos | 11:14 |
| blekos | could you tell me an alternative for cryptoload? | 11:14 |
| Sm3gal | Flare183 couldn't figure out how to make it work eather | 11:15 |
| hotfloppy | thanks salil | 11:15 |
| Sm3gal | i tryed some cmd he gave me | 11:15 |
| Sm3gal | so i thought it was software based | 11:15 |
| Sm3gal | *hardware | 11:15 |
| Sm3gal | so i took the wireless chip out of another laptop | 11:15 |
| taisa | once again, could somebody tell me, how I can run "fsck -D" during boot time, please? Adding Parameters to "/fsckoptions"? Thanks | 11:16 |
| Sm3gal | i'm sooo tempted to drop off the computer at Flare's house and say dont give it back till it works | 11:16 |
| Sm3gal | but then he might get into the pics of my g/f | 11:17 |
| jake__ | Articles and books I have read on linux talk about multiple users on the system - is this referring to the system being a server and multiple users logging into it? or just more than one user being logged in to the ONE physical machine? | 11:17 |
| stanman246_ | can i make a livecd and add the nxclient from nomachine.com? | 11:18 |
| airtonix | what happened to the gui for byzanz that i see in this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Tdo4GQzyb8 | 11:18 |
| nikin | Sm3gal, encrypt them or back them up. | 11:18 |
| airtonix | !info byzanz | 11:18 |

| pkkm | What is the user's password after using `passwd -d`? | 11:19 |
| Sm3gal | same as my master pw tho | 11:19 |
| Sm3gal | it should be your root pw shouldn't it? | 11:19 |
| nikin | Sm3gal, just create an other user on the system with admin privilegs... so it can be used to repair the system without giving out your password | 11:20 |
| airtonix | re: byzanz gui : its in the 'add to panel' widget of gnome-panel | 11:20 |
| Sm3gal | lol he knows my pw tho | 11:21 |
| Sm3gal | from him fixing it b4 | 11:21 |
| nikin | Sm3gal, then change it... | 11:21 |
| Sm3gal | think i should try booting from .iso? | 11:22 |
| pkkm | I want to add an user with no password, but I can't login ("Login incorrect"). Anyone knows why? | 11:22 |
| * Sm3gal has no clue | 11:23 | |
| nikin | Sm3gal, giving out your password for people who you dont trust to see your gf is hmm... lets say was a bad idea. Yes. AAIK you can mount your encrypted volume from there, and change the password. | 11:23 |
| Sm3gal | ok | 11:23 |
| Sm3gal | lets discuss my wireless problum | 11:23 |
| Sm3gal | lol | 11:23 |
| Sm3gal | think booting form .iso might make it work? | 11:24 |
| Sm3gal | nope | 11:24 |
| Sm3gal | nothing | 11:24 |
| nikin | Sm3gal, what is the issue itself? what did you already try? | 11:24 |
| Sm3gal | some cmd | 11:25 |
| Sm3gal | and another wireless card | 11:25 |
| Sm3gal | but my wireless still don't work | 11:25 |
| nikin | Sm3gal, its a dualbooting system? | 11:25 |
| Sm3gal | i have recently ran a ddos | 11:25 |
| Sm3gal | no | 11:25 |
| jkalex05 | everything windows can do linux can do better! | 11:26 |
| rionline | nonsense | 11:26 |
| nikin | Sm3gal, what are the symtoms? what does fail... Running a ddos is childish . | 11:26 |
| iceroot | jkalex05: this is ubuntu-support not windows-bashing | 11:26 |
| rionline | what about games? ;) | 11:26 |
| jkalex05 | i dont play games | 11:27 |
| indus | how is a lexmark printer in ubuntu work | 11:27 |

| jkalex05 | like background and text | 11:29 |
| rww | Edit > Profile Preferences > Colors | 11:30 |
| nikin | Sm3gal, lets turn back to your wireless problem... You can not change my view about malicious behaviour anyways... so how far is the wireless woking? lspci does show the card? | 11:30 |
| pkkm | How to login to an account with no password? | 11:30 |
| Sm3gal | booting ... | 11:30 |
| Sm3gal | pkkm, login as root maybe? | 11:31 |
| ikonia | no no no | 11:31 |
| |ns|nR8 | pkkm, put a password on it | 11:31 |
| ikonia | do not login as root | 11:31 |
| pkkm | I mean, login to an account that hasn't got password set. | 11:31 |
| ikonia | pkkm: go to system -> preferences -> login window | 11:31 |
| ikonia | pkkm: from that you can chose to auto login without a password | 11:31 |
| ikonia | pkkm: sorry - system -> administration -> login window | 11:32 |
| Sm3gal | pkkm ru locked out? | 11:32 |
| Sm3gal | still nothing | 11:33 |
| nikin | Sm3gal, what nothing? | 11:33 |
| Sm3gal | no wireless | 11:33 |
| Matr|x | i need a room to ask them about bash scripting and programming ?> | 11:33 |
| Sm3gal | i tryed lspci | grep network | 11:34 |
| ikonia | Matr|x: #bash is the channel | 11:34 |
| Sm3gal | and ifconfig -a | 11:34 |
| nikin | Matr|x, http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ is a good point to start before | 11:34 |
| Matr|x | thx soooooo much guys | 11:34 |
| nikin | Sm3gal, dont grep it | 11:35 |
| Sm3gal | ok | 11:35 |
| Sm3gal | grep didn't do anything | 11:35 |
| Sm3gal | those were the cmds flare had me try | 11:35 |
| nikin | Sm3gal, he was right... but grepping is restrictiog the output... a manual check can not hurt | 11:36 |
| Sm3gal | ok | 11:36 |
| Sm3gal | well what do u suggest? | 11:36 |
| erUSUL | nikin: #bash "gods" have a very low opinion of abs ;) | 11:36 |
| bricky | hey | 11:37 |
| nikin | erUSUL, it helped me in some cases very well ;) Gods have a low opinion on any food but manna to :D | 11:37 |
| xshyamx | Sm3gal: try grepping for Ethernet instead | 11:37 |
| bricky | is it possible to OC on linux? at all | 11:38 |
| Sm3gal | cmd? | 11:38 |
| nikin | Sm3gal, lspci , and then look for something that looks as a wireless card | 11:38 |
| erUSUL | nikin: its infobot says « The infamous "Advanced" Bash Scripting Guide should be avoided unless you know how to filter out the junk. It will teach you to write bugs, not scripts. In that light, the BashGuide was written: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide » | 11:38 |
| Sm3gal | nothing | 11:38 |
| Sm3gal | its not reading my card | 11:39 |
| Sm3gal | i kno the card works | 11:39 |
| bricky | n | 11:39 |
| nikin | erUSUL, i will save that link... and look at it. | 11:39 |
| pkkm | I can't login to user that has no password. Paste from the console: http://pastebin.com/VQ678gbm . What's wrong? | 11:39 |
| * Sm3gal faceplams repeatly | 11:39 | |
| nikin | Sm3gal, did you check the BIOS settings? | 11:40 |
| Sm3gal | idk how | 11:40 |
| rww | pkkm: "no password" isn't the same as "blank password". | 11:41 |
| nikin | Sm3gal, lets go throught the basics: do you have a wieless switch/led on your laptop? | 11:41 |
| Sm3gal | yes | 11:41 |
| Sm3gal | it is orange | 11:41 |
| Sm3gal | its usally blue | 11:41 |
| aeon-ltd | whats these hobbits. | 11:41 |
| Sm3gal | it just started not working | 11:41 |
| xshyamx | pkkm: if you want to login without password via ssh you have to sync keys | 11:42 |
| nikin | Sm3gal, do you have a switch on the laptop for wireless? | 11:42 |
| pkkm | rww, I just pressed enter whan ssh asked for password. | 11:42 |
| rww | pkkm: oh, wait, --delete makes it blank. Hrm. PermitEmptyPasswords is probably set to "no" in sshd | 11:42 |
| Sm3gal | !ot | aeon-ltd | 11:42 |
| ubottu | aeon-ltd: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 11:42 |
| xshyamx | you have to generate a keypair using ssh-keygen | 11:43 |
| rww | pkkm: you'd want to add PermitEmptyPasswords "yes" to /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 11:43 |
| Sm3gal | yes | 11:43 |
| rww | pkkm: or use a key as xshyamx is mentioning | 11:43 |
| Sm3gal | its on | 11:43 |
| Sm3gal | first thing i checked | 11:43 |
| nikin | Sm3gal, check in the bios | 11:43 |
| bricky | is it possible to overclock amd cpus over ubuntu? | 11:43 |
| Sm3gal | how | 11:44 |
| xshyamx | and when it asks for passphrase enter nothing and then copy the id_rsa.pub entry to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys | 11:44 |
| * erUSUL amazed at the hoops people will jump just to make their systems *IN*secure | 11:44 | |
| rww | erUSUL: indeed | 11:44 |
| Sm3gal | lol i'm a newb | 11:44 |
| Sm3gal | i can't check bios | 11:44 |
| Sm3gal | i'm locked out | 11:44 |
| xshyamx | all to avoid typing a few keys :P | 11:45 |
| Sm3gal | dont kno password | 11:45 |
| pkkm | By the way I want no password because I am creating guest accounts for everyone at linux show. | 11:45 |
| Sm3gal | then make the password linux | 11:45 |
| Sm3gal | and have a sigb | 11:45 |
| Sm3gal | sign | 11:45 |
| Sm3gal | "Password is linux" | 11:45 |

| rww | ikonia: look at the pastebin, they're using ssh, not a login manager | 11:47 |
| pkkm | ikonia, no, because I wanted no password whan connected via ssh. | 11:47 |
| pkkm | when* | 11:48 |
| rww | pkkm: PermitEmptyPasswords "yes" , as I mentioned | 11:48 |
| ikonia | pkkm: then use ssh keys | 11:48 |
| rww | the default is "no". hence it not working. | 11:48 |

| Somelauw | I want to install a printer, but ubuntu can't find my cd-rom. Does that mean I need to login as a superuser? | 11:49 |

| Somelauw | I want to install a printer, but ubuntu can't find my cd-rom. Does that mean I need to login as a superuser? (This is a serious question) | 11:52 |
| xshyamx | Somelauw: what do you mean by "ubuntu can't find my cd-rom"? | 11:52 |
| xshyamx | Somelauw: you've inserted the cd and it does not mount? | 11:53 |
| Somelauw | Yes | 11:53 |
| erUSUL | Somelauw: you shouldn't need the cdrom to install a printer | 11:53 |
| erUSUL | Somelauw: maybe it ask for the ubuntu cd-rom becouse you still have iot enabled as source ? | 11:53 |

| KettleCorn | I'm trying "sudo fdisk /dev/sg2" on an iSCSI mounted device, but nothing happens (I'm on Ubuntu Server 9.10) - I've waited several hours but it never says anything | 12:44 |

| rabby | anyone knows how to get my lan printer to be use-able in ubuntu - even if it is not active on startup of ubuntu? | 12:44 |
| lukus | hi - I dislike the way that the file browser won't toggle to a full text path in lucid -> is there anyway to get the old behaviour back? | 12:44 |
| rww | lukus: ctrl-l | 12:45 |
| carneiro | KettleCorn: better do fdisk -l first | 12:45 |
| minimec | lukus: I don't know if I unsersood that right. Try <ctrl>L in nautilus | 12:45 |
| KettleCorn | carneiro: if I type fdisk -l I get no output at all, should I add something as a parameter? | 12:46 |
| carneiro | KettleCorn: Check how much time it takes ... | 12:46 |
| lukus | rww,minimec - I'm taking the path that's displayed in a file-browser dialogue .. when saving a file for example | 12:46 |
| carneiro | KettleCorn: Just run fdisk -l and check for the detected disks ... | 12:46 |
| lukus | s/taking/talking | 12:46 |
| lukus | (about) | 12:47 |
| lukus | it used to be possible to toggle the graphical path list - so it appeared as a text path | 12:47 |
| lukus | which was great | 12:47 |
| KettleCorn | carneiro: I had to run it as sudo, I see now. well, it doesn't detect anything but my local drives | 12:47 |
| minderaser | I would like to upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 but Update Manager doesn't show there is an upgrade available even though "Show new distribution releases" is set to "normal release". I've even set in to "Long-Term Releases Only" with no luck. | 12:47 |
| lukus | I have no idea why it's been changed | 12:47 |
| KettleCorn | carneiro: I'm guessing that means I haven't got my iSCSI things setup correctly | 12:48 |
| carneiro | KettleCorn: Either that .. or ur server is not able to reach the destination host | 12:48 |
| minimec | lukus: Still... I don't exactly see what you mean, sorry. I see no problem in the gnome saving dialog. | 12:48 |
| lukus | minimec, under 'browse for other folders' you have a path .. which is a series of sequential individual paths, represented by buttons .. | 12:49 |
| KettleCorn | carneiro: do you mean as in network connection, reach? they can ping each other. actually, the network iSCSI storage device lists the session from the ubuntu machine as active | 12:49 |
| amokpaule | Hello, im about to buy a new soundcard, is there any that has better linux support then another? | 12:50 |
| lukus | minimec, in previous versions - there was a toggle button on the far left .. which allow the user to switch to a full text-representation of the path | 12:50 |
| lukus | *allowed | 12:50 |
| minimec | lukus: So we had that quasi <ctrl>L option in the saving dialog. I didn't notice that ;) | 12:50 |
| lukus | minimec, yeah - it was great :) .. ctrl L doesn't seem to work there | 12:51 |

| lukus | airtonix, are you using lucid (and are you trying to save a file)? | 12:52 |

| KettleCorn | carneiro: the guide I followed doesn't include any point at which I can do so. our target/portal has a defined initiator name, which we had to supply when connecting with iSCSI via globalSAN in Mac OS X. without that, it would say connected but wouldn't show any drive | 13:17 |

| kryptyk | Morning all - I am running 4 displays using dual Nvidia GTS250's ( 2 monitors to each) with each display operating as a separate X server. I can enable Xinerama which will allow me to move windows between displays, however, this disables composite extensions along with a host of other useful things such as the double buffer module.

| markitoxs | smooty-san, do you know if there is something like pureadmin, but for remote servers? | 13:40 |
| smooty-san | Anyway. Does anyone have a clue at my problem? Or am I just better of by downgrading my ubuntu release? | 13:40 |
| carneiro | markitoxs : there is webmin ofcourse | 13:40 |
| markitoxs | how you guys feel about webmin? YOu think its a good option? | 13:41 |
| carneiro | markitoxs: u get https access of the server .. n if u need u can have cmd line as well | 13:41 |
| iceroot | markitoxs: no | 13:41 |
| iceroot | !webmin | markitoxs | 13:42 |
| ubottu | markitoxs: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 13:42 |
| smooty-san | Or alternative you can use the SQL mod and write your own panel | 13:42 |
| KettleCorn | markitoxs: I hear a lot of people bash it like crazy, but I'm not sure why. Ubuntu has stopped it from being in the official ppa I think, probably for some good reasons. We use it at work and my colleague loves it. We tried switching to Ebox and we couldn't do squat with it | 13:42 |
| iceroot | markitoxs: ssh is your friend, webmin your enemy | 13:42 |
| markitoxs | thats what im trying to tell my boss, lol | 13:42 |
| iceroot | markitoxs: feel free to quote me :) | 13:42 |
| drizzt_ | why there's so much rhetorics in Ubuntu about sudo > root ? | 13:42 |
| KettleCorn | webmin is the battle I'll never understand and/or see the end of | 13:42 |
| KettleCorn | iceroot: why is it the enemy? what's so bad about it? I'm just trying to understand the negative rep it has | 13:43 |

| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 13:44 |
| iceroot | KettleCorn: e.g. you get conffiles like httpd.conf.dpkg.webmin.old | 13:44 |

| ubottu | KettleCorn: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 13:44 |
| sulpheric | carneiro, any ideas on my question? | 13:44 |
| d3b | !ebox | 13:44 |

| markitoxs | oh my god..did i just start a flamewar? :D | 13:45 |
| KettleCorn | markitoxs: no don't worry, it's something that's constantly brewing I think :) | 13:45 |
| KettleCorn | iceroot: ok so what, it creates unnecessary files? or what are these .old files? | 13:46 |
| iceroot | KettleCorn: its messing up the confs and the divert-processes dpkg is using | 13:46 |
| KettleCorn | iceroot: ok, so what does that mean in the end? it's hard to uninstall? or can it actually break something? | 13:46 |
| drizzt_ | I wanted to get ebox for my samba server, but it was 80MB, too much for a meager task | 13:47 |
| JabberWalkie | ok, so firefox keeps freezing up on me, but I am not sure why exactly. What can I do to narrow it down?? | 13:47 |
| iceroot | KettleCorn: it can break your system | 13:47 |
| patdk-wk | when you upgrade the package | 13:47 |
| patdk-wk | it can get totally screwed | 13:47 |
| iceroot | KettleCorn: yes, specially when you update the system | 13:47 |
| KettleCorn | iceroot: what's the worst that can happen? I'm not using webmin myself but as I said my colleague loves it, and he's eager to install it on our VPS we just rented. I'm not sure it's a good idea to install it, but as long as he thinks it's great and I don't have any arguments against it.. | 13:47 |
| KettleCorn | iceroot: ok, I bet a reply to that would be that we probably wont update the system, instead keeping it at 9.10 | 13:48 |
| === dreamy is now known as dreamy_ | ||
| patdk-wk | no security patchs? | 13:48 |
| iceroot | KettleCorn: dont use webmin, because of messung up the conffiles | 13:48 |
| KettleCorn | iceroot: ok and conffiles are important system files that we really don't want to be messed up? | 13:49 |
| iceroot | KettleCorn: conffiles are a mechanismus dpkg is using | 13:50 |
| patdk-wk | my biggest issue with webmin, is it seems to be way too much of a hack | 13:51 |
| patdk-wk | and it seems like you do it their way or no way | 13:51 |
| iceroot | KettleCorn: have a look at divert and conffiles in the debhelper manual | 13:51 |
| patdk-wk | so if you need something it doesn't understand, or want to do it alittle bit at all manually, you can't, or shouldn't | 13:51 |

| drizzt_ | kanhiya, as client or server? | 13:52 |

| patdk-wk | kettlecorn, yes, it touchs conf files, it can make the system unusable | 13:53 |

| ubydoobydo | hmm, should i re-install ubuntu? | 15:29 |
| Dr_Willis | Wavesonics: im not sure thats doable. You may as well do a normal install if you have free partitions | 15:29 |
| Wavesonics | well i dont have a CD drive | 15:29 |

| RedXIII | Hi. I had a dualboot windowsvista/ubuntu10.04 setup | 15:43 |
| ezra-s | I think it was stupid and childish ;P | 15:43 |
| funkyweasel | Dr_Willis: Doesn't seem to be the case here. Popped in the CD - nothing. | 15:43 |
| RedXIII | Recently the disk containing my ubuntu failed and I had to remove it from my computer | 15:43 |
| RedXIII | Now I'm getting no such device grub errors | 15:44 |
| k-rad | ezra-s, google before askin here is my advice | 15:44 |
| ubydoobydo | google is lame | 15:44 |
| Dr_Willis | RedXIII: so you jhave just a windows macjhine now? | 15:44 |
| ezra-s | k-rad, did last weekend | 15:44 |
| RedXIII | How can I restore my windows disk back to MBR? | 15:44 |
| ubydoobydo | sometimes | 15:44 |
| RedXIII | Dr_Willis: Yes. | 15:44 |
| raphael | Brasilllllllllll | 15:44 |
| Dr_Willis | RedXIII: use a windows cd/dvd and restore the windows bootloader with the proper commands. | 15:44 |
| ulumulu | hi, how can I lock the screen with an Ubuntu 9.10 Live CD? | 15:44 |
| RedXIII | Is there any way to still use GRUB? | 15:44 |
| ubydoobydo | people can provide much more relevant info...more so then a search engine with paid listings | 15:45 |
| RedXIII | I'm not sure I have a windows disk handy. | 15:45 |
| Dr_Willis | RedXIII: not that i know of.. since it wants files from the ubuntu/linux partitions | 15:45 |
| RedXIII | bleh. | 15:45 |
| Dr_Willis | RedXIII: you could pop in a flash drive and do a mini install of ubuntu to it. :) i guess.. but thats a little extreme | 15:45 |
| ubydoobydo | i have a usb stick with alt install and another with damnsmall linux.. | 15:46 |
| Dr_Willis | RedXIII: there may be other ways to restore teh bootloader. check in #windows | 15:46 |
| ubydoobydo | i was able to do a good install to hd after a bit | 15:46 |
| ubydoobydo | i'm wondering if its worth getting ubu 10? | 15:47 |
| ubydoobydo | i have sb live and some wifi adapters.. does it support wifi-g / n? | 15:47 |
| Dr_Willis | it all depends on the chipset. | 15:47 |
| funkyweasel | Dr_Willis: In fact my manager tried using an alternate cd to upgrade from karmic to lucid and it resulted in a dead system. So we're a bit leery about the upgrade process at the moment. We don't want to kill the office connection for an afternoon, but if alternative-cd isn't working I'm not sure what the choice is. | 15:47 |
| Dr_Willis | and proberly it does. | 15:47 |
| ubydoobydo | and i've heard lots of people have issues with sblive and x-fi soundcards | 15:48 |
| Dr_Willis | funkyweasel: why kill a connection? Im confused on that issue? I can do a clean install in less then an hr. | 15:48 |
| serp_ | I want to convert a video file to raw YUV420 data. is there a handy tool for that in Ubuntu? | 15:48 |
| Dr_Willis | sblive is a differnt card then a x-fi card... Unless creative has gotten creative in their naming again | 15:48 |
| ubydoobydo | dr_ they have | 15:49 |
| funkyweasel | dr_willis: It's a work machine. I'd rather not do a clean install. I would like to do an upgrade. We share an adsl connection amongst the dozen or so office pcs, so I'd like to avoid monopolising the connection. | 15:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive used sblive cards ages ago with few issues.. X-fi used to be a problem.. but not sure how supported it is now. Ive not heard anyone ask about x-fi here in ages. | 15:49 |
| ubydoobydo | x-fi is sblive xc | 15:49 |
| ubydoobydo | not much diffrences | 15:49 |
| funkyweasel | Dr_Willis: If network upgrade is the only way to do it reliably then fair enough. I want to exhaust the other possibilities first. | 15:49 |
| ubydoobydo | dunno about the platnum or gamer verstions tho | 15:50 |
| ubydoobydo | about 3 people asked about x-fi static issues today /last night | 15:50 |
| ubydoobydo | i think i'll make an install cd anyway =c | 15:51 |
| Dr_Willis | funkyweasel: i thought the alt-cd was supposed to work as a repo for upgrading.. ive never done it that way | 15:51 |
| ubydoobydo | i'm tired of messin with 8.04 getting it perfect..and then spontneously messes up | 15:51 |

| ubydoobydo | as well as the 3db boost | 15:54 |
| vulf^24^m | ubydoobydo, i can turn it off (by bringing volume down to 0.0db gain...but i cant lock it there | 15:54 |
| funkyweasel | Dr_Willis: But when I try adding the alternative cd as a software source I get "E:Unable to locate any package files, perhaps this is not a Debian Disc or the wrong architecture?" | 15:55 |

| xxiao | /join #drupal-support | 15:56 |
| joshua_roberts | nvidia-settings is not giving me what I need. Ubuntu 9.10x64 2 nvidia video cards, 4 monitors. 2 Xserver sessions, one for each pair of monitors. But when I do this I get a huge virtual desktop that spans both monitors, also my maximized applications span both monitors. | 15:56 |
| aurilliance | trying to run a ubuntu 8 VMWare harddrive on Virtual box, I get http://imagebin.org/102099. Anyone have any suggestions? | 15:56 |
| xxiao | oops---sorry | 15:56 |
| vulf^24^m | if the volume goes up more than 75% it enteres the amplified sectoin...and gets distorted | 15:56 |
| vulf^24^m | i want my 75% to be the new 100% sort of | 15:57 |
| joshua_roberts | I want maximized applications to only take up one monitor, having something more like the extended desktop feature in windows instead of a huge virtual desktop. | 15:57 |
| ubydoobydo | hmm that's tricky | 15:57 |
| maccam94 | is https://help.ubuntu.com down for anyone else? | 15:57 |
| forceflow | joshua_roberts: can't you select "twinview" or "extended desktop" somewhere? | 15:57 |

| veleno | hello everyone. | 15:58 |
| jakexks | maccam94, seems down here | 15:58 |
| vulf^24^m | sounds get all hissy | 15:58 |
| funkyweasel | Has anyone here successfully from desktop karmic to lucid using the alternative cd? | 15:58 |
| sipior | vulf^24^m: are you adjusting the pcm channel volume? | 15:58 |
| iflema | maccam94 yes | 15:58 |
| ubydoobydo | i don't know of a way to restrict how far the "wheel" can be set.. like a limit to max gain etc...but with pumped volume hissy is normal..without filters..static and distortion could destroy headphones tho | 15:58 |
| joshua_roberts | forceflow: I can select twinview and that is the source of the problem. Twinview generates one huge virtual desktop, one screen that is stretched across two monitors | 15:58 |
| vulf^24^m | sipior, pcm is at max in alsamixer..and reads 0.0db that way...should i put that down and master up? | 15:59 |
| veleno | i would like to: configure an ubuntu machine, 'freeze' this configuration (on an iso file, or other file format) and deploy it on a cluster via PXE. what system would you suggest? | 15:59 |
| sipior | vulf^24^m: yes. | 15:59 |

| ubottu | A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 15:59 |
| ubydoobydo | 24 you could bring down all the rest of the volume controls to 75% | 15:59 |
| joshua_roberts | I am not sure what I need to do to fix the problem, but it is not something I seem to be able to fix in nvidia-sttings | 15:59 |
| joshua_roberts | er settings | 15:59 |
| ubydoobydo | then the wheel controls the main volume... | 15:59 |
| funkyweasel | SlidingHorn: Understood, I will be more specific. | 15:59 |
| ubydoobydo | right? | 15:59 |
| sipior | vulf^24^m: at any rate, it should reduce your hissing audio problem. | 15:59 |
| vulf^24^m | sipior, unfortunately the volume controller seems to "up" everything pcm and master | 15:59 |
| sipior | vulf^24^m: there should be a configuration option to tie the controller to a single control | 16:00 |
| vulf^24^m | sipior, that i didn't know...any idea how? :) | 16:01 |
| funkyweasel | I am trying to upgrade from Karmic Desktop to Lucid using the alternative-cd. Unforunately when I try to add the cd as a source it either fails to recognise the cd ("E:Unable to locate any package files, perhaps this is not a Debian Disc or the wrong architecture?") or get stuck trying to 'unmount cd'. | 16:01 |
| sipior | vulf^24^m: which mixer are you using? | 16:01 |
| vulf^24^m | pulseaudio | 16:01 |

| freakynl | hi, i was trying to upgrade the kernel in one of our ec2 ubuntu vm's, but it gave errors it couldn't find something, don't exactly recall what it couldn't find, but it couldn't find it in /proc/misc file. Because of this grub didn't get updated. I can do this manually but I don't want to cause potential updates with the next update. It was a default non-modified image btw just ran apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade (10.04 32bit server small inst | 16:02 |
| Dr_Willis | joshua_roberts: err.. after enabling twinview. i always restart the X server (or reboot) that makes sure all the apps are using the twinview setting. if you just 'apply' the setting and DONT restart X. i find some apps get confused., | 16:02 |
| vulf^24^m | sipior, pulseaudio | 16:02 |
| ubydoobydo | where would i put a sideband addressing code for my nvidia card? i forgot where i put it, and this may be the source of my problems? | 16:02 |

| Beyecixramd | amaurea: try "nm-applet" | 16:12 |
| anodesni | amaurea, and the network manager is still gone? | 16:12 |
| amaurea | anodesni: yes | 16:12 |
| anodesni | amaurea, then press Alt+F2 and typ in "nm-applet" | 16:12 |

| amaurea | anodesni, Beyecixramd: It says that it couldn't acquire the session service as it already is taken. It also says that it couldn't initialize the dbus manager | 16:13 |
| Beyecixramd | amaurea: try to reboot | 16:13 |
| obcecado | i have dual view output, but i want to swap the monitor numbering | 16:13 |
| amaurea | Beyecixramd: I have tried that. No change | 16:13 |
| Beyecixramd | ubydoobydo: FUD... it's completely safe | 16:13 |
| amaurea | Beyecixramd: nm-applet is running according to ps | 16:14 |
| Beyecixramd | amaurea: killall nm-applet | 16:14 |
| taisa | Is it possible to optimize the filesystem during the boot fsck with "fsck -D"? "/fsckoptions" file ? | 16:14 |
| Beyecixramd | then run it again | 16:14 |
| Beyecixramd | taisa: define "optimize" | 16:14 |
| ubydoobydo | bey then why does ubuntu.com tell me its not? | 16:14 |
| Beyecixramd | taisa: if you want to defragment... you don't need it | 16:14 |
| Beyecixramd | ubydoobydo: FUD... | 16:14 |
| anodesni | amaurea, try sudo /etc/init.d/dbus start, | 16:14 |

| anodesni | amaurea, and try to run "ck-launch-session" | 16:15 |
| anodesni | amaurea, then run nm-applet again | 16:15 |
| amaurea | Beyecixramd: I killed nm-applet and then started it manually. It seems to be running, but it does not appear on the panel. It outputs ** (nm-applet:3075): DEBUG: foo_client_state_changed_cb | 16:15 |

| ubydoobydo | what is fud man? | 16:16 |
| anodesni | ubydoobydo, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty_and_doubt | 16:16 |
| amaurea | anodesni: dbus is already running, so I guess I should stop it first | 16:16 |
| anodesni | amaurea, no | 16:16 |
| ubydoobydo | ahahaha | 16:16 |
| anodesni | amaurea, actually, I have that message too, for me it works. There should be something else wrong | 16:17 |
| amaurea | anodesni: but basically, nm-applet seems to be working perfectly, except that it doesn't appear in the panel | 16:17 |
| anodesni | amaurea, did you remove the notification area? | 16:17 |
| amaurea | anodesni: I haven't done that on purpose, at least. but perhaps that also disappeared after the package updates | 16:18 |
| anodesni | amaurea, try if you can add it again | 16:18 |

| anodesni | Ascavasaion, right click on an empty space on the gnome panel, choose add to panel, then select the notification area and drag it to the panel | 16:23 |
| Ascavasaion | anodesni: It is there | 16:24 |

| ikonia | New2Ubuntu: you're mistaken, it's only as heavey as the functions you tell is to do | 16:57 |
| funkyweasel | ikonia: I could try enabling all the repos again. I've spent so long on this that it's nearly time to close the office, so if it does end up using the network (and COMPLETELY invalidating the point of the exercise) then fair enough. | 16:58 |
| jpds | JackStoner: Try running it in debug mode (pidgin -d in a terminal) and see where it's crashing? | 16:58 |
| funkyweasel | ikonia: But having non-standard software is enough to break a non-networked upgrade? That's extremely poor. | 16:58 |
| SlidingHorn | JackStoner: what are you doing when it crashes? what (if any) error messages are given? --hint: start it from a terminal to get error msgs: pidgin -d | 16:58 |
| ikonia | funkyweasel: not really - ubuntu developers can't be responsible for compatability with external software | 16:58 |
| funkyweasel | ikonia: Absolutely. But there's no way of ignoring those dependancies for an upgrade run? | 16:59 |
| ikonia | funkyweasel: if I develop a bit of software that can only user glibc 2.5 only, and ubuntu wants to upgrade it to 2.6 - it can't, so that's not the ubuntu developers fault, that's yours for putting software on | 16:59 |

| detrix | I am still having problems with my nVidia config. I have removed the nouveau driver, and installed proprietary drivers. now all I get is 640x480. I thought I knew how to change this. I have done it on 9.10 Jaunty. Need Help....... | 17:24 |
| dominicdinada | About the external drive ? no normally it automounts cause the desktop is logged in but.... i had to shut her down and now i don't have access to the machine ATM. Wait is ATM a swear also ? | 17:24 |

| foxlover | I've a damaged CD disk and I want to know where in the CD surface the ddrescue doesn't read... I've the ddrescue log here with me. There is any software that show this info? Knowing this I can try to clean these surface points to try a full read of data. :) | 17:24 |
| Daekdroom | dominicdinada, acronyms and similars aren't good because not everyone know them. | 17:25 |
| darthvies | I can't record videos on youtube because it does not reginise my mic | 17:25 |
| sebsebseb | sipior: I am not a little kid, so lets get back on topic :), except right there is hardly anyone to help with Ubuntu that is typing stuff in here at the moment. | 17:25 |
| raven_ | "AT" - how to execute ffplay? it does nothing instead of notify-send | 17:25 |
| dominicdinada | foxlover that sounds like a CD specific question, Not ubuntu. If is an ubuntu disk that is damaged burn another | 17:26 |
| wildbat | foxlover, scratches? | 17:26 |
| denni1 | llutz: thanks, but then I would need to know how to get to the root shown in filebrowser. But terminal 'cd /' brings me to root of livecd2008 | 17:26 |
| * Pascat trolls on sebsebseb! :) "Thanks for the help though. However, I would like to ask another question... Do you think Metacontact will ever be a part of Empathy?" | 17:26 | |
| VCoolio | detrix: did you try with "gksudo nvidia-settings" ? | 17:26 |
| Alan502 | Hi, would someone help me connecting to a network with a different interface than eth0? perhaps from the command line... | 17:26 |
| llutz | denni1: "mount" tells you where it is mounted | 17:26 |
| bastid_raZor | dominicdinada: read up on how to mount devices :: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 17:26 |
| sebsebseb | Pascat: trolls on sebsebseb ? Have you used Pidgin by the way? | 17:27 |
| dominicdinada | foxlover: The data surfice of the CD is the top part where the labeling is to answer your question! | 17:27 |
| llutz | denni1: then you use"sudo nano /mountpoint/path/file.txt" | 17:27 |
| foxlover | wildbat: Yeap, there's some scratches :| | 17:27 |
| dominicdinada | bastid_raZor: I did and resulted with this | 17:27 |
| Pascat | I have used Pidgin, but I have found its videoconferencing to be lacking in the past... whereas Empathy does it from the start. | 17:27 |
| dominicdinada | mount: can't find /media/meinna in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 17:27 |
| detrix | VCoolio, I did the nvidia-xconfig that generated a new xorg.conf. I will try the nvidia-settings... | 17:27 |
| llutz | dominicdinada: so check and fix your /etc/fstab | 17:28 |
| sebsebseb | Pascat: I guess most expereinced Ubuntu users, that are going to be using that type of program, are still using Pidgin :) a lot of us don't like Empathy much | 17:28 |
| Rosebud_ | hey guys, im trying to install mySql Server and i cant do it ... any help? | 17:28 |
| Krazyderek | anyone good with secure samba fileservers? | 17:28 |

| Pascat | True true. | 17:28 |
| Pascat | or I could find if I can get Skype working... >.> | 17:28 |
| bastid_raZor | dominicdinada: how does ubuntu see your drive? /dev/something .. /media/meinna is the mountpoint .. the 2nd half of the equation | 17:28 |

| MikeChelen | Wavesonics, brasero will burn iso | 17:29 |
| Pascat | talking of which... is skype in your apt directory or I have to get it directly from the site? I do believe there's a Linux version >.> unless I recall wrong. | 17:29 |
| sebsebseb | !mysql | Rosebud_ | 17:29 |
| dominicdinada | bastid_raZor: it is an NTFS.... I took the cheater way and just logged in and let automount take over | 17:29 |
| ubottu | Rosebud_: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 17:29 |
| kuttan | ok empathy sucks BIG BIG time.. | 17:29 |
| MikeChelen | Wavesonics, oops brasero is for cds | 17:29 |
| akkan84 | i use pidgin | 17:29 |
| bastid_raZor | !ntfs | dominicdinada read this then: | 17:29 |

| ne7work | steffan, i know this link like on ubuntu.. | 17:30 |
| Wavesonics | sebsebseb, ya, i blew away the recover partition, but now my partition table or somethnig is effed | 17:30 |
| MikeChelen | kuttan, whats wrong with it? | 17:30 |
| steffan | ne7work: follow that link | 17:30 |
| Krazyderek | anyone good with secure samba fileservers? | 17:30 |
| sebsebseb | Wavesonics: right, but you said you have an ISO for Windows 7 (Vista version 2) ? | 17:30 |
| dominicdinada | bastid_raZor: Sigh I didnt ask how to set my fstab to auto mount the darn drive i asked how to mount it this second | 17:30 |
| ne7work | steffan, on ubuntu is the same method | 17:30 |
| foxlover | wildbat: Yeah, I'll try one of these alternatives: www.wisebread.com/quickly-removing-scratches-from-cds-and-dvds :P It's my last chance to recover the full data. :) | 17:30 |
| bjarni | Hi. I have ubuntu 9.10 64 bit, gnome. Some webpages take ages to download. Pages seem to stop downloading in some cases for a good while before continuing. Pressing reload often helps. Applies to Chrome and Epiphany and did with Firefox before I threw it out. I'm on wireless. Direct connection is better but not good at all. Can someone point me in the right direction here? | 17:30 |
| Cuervo | how do I install linux-libc-dev for kernel 2.6.34? on lucid? | 17:31 |
| dominicdinada | <~ will be installing vista SP2 from a thumb on a darn machine that went down :/ | 17:31 |
| Wavesonics | sebsebseb, its an ISO, it's a Win7 recovery ISO | 17:31 |
| steffan | ne7work: yes | 17:31 |
| denni1 | llutz: yes, I'm in! </voice of tv hacker> | 17:31 |
| kuttan | MikeChelan : as a long time user of unix not just linux .. UI is so not wrth it | 17:31 |

| sebsebseb | Wavesonics: right so burn it with Brasero or K3B | 17:31 |
| sebsebseb | Wavesonics: Brasero can go a bit odd, K3B :) | 17:31 |
| Wavesonics | sebsebseb, ok thanks | 17:31 |
| bastid_raZor | dominicdinada: if you had would have went to that page it has a section on how to 'manually' mount drives.. please follow the links and just not 'assume' | 17:31 |
| ne7work | steffan, okay | 17:31 |
| Krazyderek | @bjarni try going to the terminal and type ping google.com and see how your connection is | 17:31 |
| sebsebseb | Wavesonics: Brasero comes with Ubuntu | 17:31 |
| sebsebseb | Wavesonics: K3B is a KDE app, so will want to put on quite a bit of KDE stuff, however no problem as long as you didn't do a really silly partition size for Ubuntu. Oh and Ubuntu and so on are designed to have many programs installed without issues, unlike Windows. | 17:32 |
| sebsebseb | Wavesonics: burn image to DVD, I guess its DVD sized | 17:33 |
| dominicdinada | bastid_raZor: like i said before sudo mount /media/meinna resulted in the error bud | 17:33 |
| bjarni | Krazyderek: Seems ok. No packet loss, below 70ms. | 17:33 |
| Wavesonics | sebsebseb, i dont see in barso an option to burn to a USB stick | 17:33 |
| bastid_raZor | dominicdinada: then you have not read any of that page.. your mount is missing /dev/somethinghere | 17:33 |
| sebsebseb | Wavesonics: oh to a USB stick? | 17:34 |
| Krazyderek | 70's is starting to get a little high | 17:34 |
| llutz | Wavesonics: you don't "burn" something to an usb-stick, just copy it | 17:34 |
| dominicdinada | bastid_raZor: it is showing up as /media/meinna :/ | 17:34 |
| sebsebseb | Wavesonics: uhmm its Windows, I don't think you can even make a bootable USB stick of it, or not useually | 17:34 |
| sebsebseb | llutz: no | 17:34 |
| denni1 | dominicdinada: why not google for isotone image mounting? | 17:34 |
| Wavesonics | sebsebseb, ya, the laptop im recovering doesnt have a optical drive | 17:34 |
| sebsebseb | llutz: its a Windows 7 ISO | 17:34 |
| Krazyderek | @bjarni is that on wireless? | 17:34 |
| bjarni | Krazyderek: yes | 17:34 |
| bastid_raZor | dominicdinada: so it is already mounted to /media/meinna ? | 17:34 |
| sebsebseb | Wavesonics: I don't think you can boot WIndows 7 from a USB stick, well you can find out in ##windows | 17:34 |
| Krazyderek | yah | 17:34 |
| Wavesonics | llutz, i know its not tehcnically burning, was just saying that b.c its an ISO | 17:34 |
| Krazyderek | @bjarni try wired to see if it goes down | 17:35 |
| dominicdinada | denni1: i am not mounting iso's but thanks for the help | 17:35 |

| bastid_raZor | dominicdinada: type mount .. does it say it is mounted read only or rw ? | 17:36 |
| dominicdinada | bastid_raZor: no it is not showing as mounted... And sorry today has started off bad backing up almost 400 gigs :( | 17:37 |
| sebsebseb | Wavesonics: maybe you don't even need Windows :D depends on what you want to do on a computer | 17:37 |
| whlspacedude | Alan502: sudo ifup ethX where x is the interface # | 17:38 |

| bastid_raZor | dominicdinada: that shows you have /dev/sdb1 mounted in the directory /media/meina .. you should be able to read write to that directory now. | 17:43 |
| Beelsebob | Can anyone think why this might happen? | 17:44 |
| Beelsebob | http://paste.lisp.org/display/111687 | 17:44 |

| Beleriton | Hello everyone, im trying to install ubuntu server 10.04 from a usb stick. A friend at work created the stick in windows with the universal usb installer v0.8. I have defined in Bios to boot from the USB stick and everything works like a charm. Im getting the install screen of ubuntu and starting the install. now i define my language and everything. BUT when the install is trying to get package content from "cd-rom" it fails. starts to get some of the | 17:52 |
| Beleriton | packages and then i get "there was a problem reading data from your cd-rom". have anyone gotten this before ? i have also tried to manually define a boot disk from boot cmd line. | 17:52 |
| megabraker | sebsebseb irr min mo5i am not in a grammar class :/ | 17:52 |
| sebsebseb | denni1: I think someone told me that before, anyway in dutch what does it mean? and yes a little off topic here | 17:52 |
| sebsebseb | megabraker: I didn't understand the first bit | 17:52 |
| steffan | !usb | Beleriton | 17:52 |

| steffan | Beleriton: did you look at this? | 17:52 |
| grunyan | Is there any quick wayy to remove the default keyring when conneting to wifi? | 17:53 |
| llutz | liminal: thats not normal and having 2 swap-partitions is pointless inmost cases. create one of the size you think you'll need, delete the other, create additional swap-files if you need more swap. | 17:53 |
| Beleriton | steffan: yes and i did try write this "install cdrom-detect/try-usb=true" and hit enter. | 17:53 |
| denni1 | lol is equal to the word fun, but you can also verb it in Dutch, so usage would be pretty much the same. | 17:53 |
| sebsebseb | denni1: oh ok | 17:53 |
| Dr_Willis | liminal: you can have sevarl differnt swap partitions all over the place. it dosent matter if they are primary or extended/logicals. linux dosent care. :) you can even have a swap file + swap partitions. | 17:54 |
| bjarni | Krazyderek: This machine is the only linux machine on the net. I've experimented with all other machines shut down. I have tried most suggestions to network tuning I've found (mru etc) in vain. What troubles me is that it happens on all browser I've tried. What's common to them? Since reloading pages often helps I thought maybe it could be some cache problem. Or - some problems loading from mediaservers? | 17:54 |
| god-mode | there is a debugger plugin for gedit? | 17:55 |
| gbillings | How do install NDISGTK from the Ubuntu 10.04 Live CD environment? | 17:56 |

| sipior | bjarni: how fast is your connection to name service? have you thought about running a local caching name server? | 17:56 |
| sebsebseb | gbillings: yes you can install ndiswrapper from the Live CD, not exactly sure how though | 17:56 |

| sipior | bjarni: my guess is that your web access is slow because of repeated, slowly-resolved dns queries. i'd say have a go at setting up nscd, see if it doesn't alleviate the problem. if you happen to use google chrome, try out the timeline tool in the Developer toolbox that's included. | 18:02 |
| sebsebseb | seanjohn: black screen when exactly? | 18:02 |
| sebsebseb | joshua_roberts: localhost? | 18:02 |
| sebsebseb | joshua_roberts: which printer? | 18:02 |
| seanjohn | I just finished installing server edition | 18:02 |

| seanjohn | it booted but turned the screen off | 18:02 |
| sebsebseb | seanjohn: #ubuntu-server | 18:02 |
| realubot | How do I do it? | 18:02 |
| jub369 | seanjohn is your pc a 64bit computer | 18:02 |
| gbillings | seanjohn: i think im really confused i was trying to figure out how to install windows wireless drivers using NDISGTK. What are U talking about?!?! | 18:02 |
| bjarni | Sipior: This seems good advice. I'll check on this - but I gotta run now. I'll get back to you later if that's ok | 18:03 |
| sipior | bjarni: no trouble. good luck sorting it out. | 18:03 |
| joshua_roberts | I don't have any printers installed | 18:03 |

| joshua_roberts | both when it is connected and when it is not | 18:06 |
| sebsebseb | joshua_roberts: or loads of them anyway | 18:06 |

| sebsebseb | joshua_roberts: anyway your on 9.10. if you upgrade to 10.04, your printer might just work, which printer is it? | 18:06 |
| joshua_roberts | my system does not detect that I have connected a printer | 18:06 |
| Krazyderek | @bjarni good luck | 18:06 |

| joshua_roberts | I can't upgrade to 10.04 because their is a Noveau driver issue with my video card and other driver issues with my chipset | 18:07 |
| mohammedali | hi | 18:07 |
| sebsebseb | joshua_roberts: which card? | 18:07 |
| sebsebseb | joshua_roberts: what kind of issue? | 18:07 |

| ubottu | mohammedali: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 18:07 |
| Datz | sebsebseb: yea.. because of ext4? | 18:07 |
| joshua_roberts | any nvidia card | 18:07 |
| sebsebseb | Datz: no | 18:07 |
| sebsebseb | Datz: so that if you want to re install Ubuntu, or distro hop, its easier | 18:07 |
| joshua_roberts | nvidia drivers will not load with 10.04 on my machine | 18:07 |
| Datz | sebsebseb: ah | 18:07 |
| sebsebseb | Datz: since your files will still be there, and program user data | 18:07 |
| kop | jub369, ifconfig 192.168.2.xx (iface such as eth0) and restart the network | 18:07 |
| sebsebseb | joshua_roberts: ah yes | 18:08 |
| sebsebseb | joshua_roberts: indeed | 18:08 |
| Datz | so separate partion for home? | 18:08 |
| sebsebseb | joshua_roberts: theres an issue when it comes to the propritary Nivida driver and Plymouth the boot up | 18:08 |
| sebsebseb | Datz: yes a good idea, and easier to set it up when your going to install Ubuntu than after woulds, well I haven't set one up after an install | 18:08 |
| sebsebseb | joshua_roberts: is that what you mean? where the boot up looks all well odd? | 18:08 |
| Krazyderek | silly question, i'm working on the samba config file i know # is used to comment out, but what about the ; symbol? | 18:08 |
| Datz | sebsebseb: ok, I'll look into that thanks | 18:09 |
| thune3 | joshua_roberts: is cupsd running? | 18:09 |
| joshua_roberts | no, the default ubuntu drivers take over and I can't run nvidia-settings or anything else nvidia related | 18:09 |
| raven_ | "AT" - how to execute ffplay? it does nothing instead of notify-send | 18:09 |
| sebsebseb | joshua_roberts: no propritary driver to install in system > administration > hardware drivers? | 18:09 |
| sebsebseb | Datz: got a Live CD yet? | 18:09 |
| Datz | sebsebseb: downloading now | 18:09 |
| Datz | sebsebseb: then need to install burning software :P | 18:10 |
| sebsebseb | Datz: its pretty easy to set that kind of install up, for example 10GB for / big seperate home and the swap space, I have even guided people through setting up these kind of installs quite a lot of times | 18:10 |
| joshua_roberts | I don't see cupsd in the system monitor | 18:10 |
| guntbert | raven_: what do you mean with "AT" ? | 18:10 |
| sebsebseb | Datz: on Windows well I would recommend imgburn | 18:10 |

| * Corevette789 is Away (Reason:Auto IdleAway after 15 minute(s)) (Since:) (Pager:on) (Logger:on) - Invincible | 18:12 | |
| sebsebseb | Datz: also its a good idea to check your ISO before burning contents to CD and using, not so easy to do on Windows though, but you could even keep the ISO on Windows, and do in Ubuntu after. However if your ISO then turns out to be bad, you installed from a bad ISO. Oh yeah and can also download from the torrent and use a torrent program to check the ISO :) | 18:12 |
| joshua_roberts | ok, so how do I start it? | 18:12 |

| regeya | OK, here's something odd. I have an openldap dir I snagged from a PPC debian machine and set up openldap to read the dir, to read the slapd.conf from that, everything seems to go OK EXCEPT when I do a search all I get in the logs is 'ldif_read_file: Permission denied for "/var/ldap/dc=dailyrepublicannews,dc=com.ldif"' now the weird thing is that everything in the /var/ldap folder is set to 0777 | 18:14 |

| akkan84 | i am having problems with my ssd with a self built kernel....everything revert back on cold boot | 18:15 |
| sebsebseb | Pascat: indeed :) | 18:15 |

| BedMan | joshua_roberts: yes :) | 18:15 |
| Krazyderek | does ; comment out a line just like # ? | 18:15 |
| sebsebseb | Pascat: in fact basically all the stuff in 10.04 on the top right panel, sucks really, except for the clock | 18:15 |
| sebsebseb | Pascat: you think the same? | 18:15 |
| Datz | thanks sebsebseb | 18:15 |
| Pascat | Pretty much. | 18:15 |
| joshua_roberts | do I need to add cups to my startup? | 18:15 |
| sebsebseb | Datz: if you come back once your on the CD | 18:15 |
| trism | Pascat: Chat is empathy, so you can uninstall that to remove Chat, and Mail is evolution, same with that | 18:15 |
| joshua_roberts | It should be there right? | 18:15 |
| Pascat | *nod* | 18:16 |
| sebsebseb | Datz: I mean in the next hour on the Live CD | 18:16 |
| Datz | sebsebseb: shouldn't firefox check hash after download with ubuntu server? | 18:16 |
| sebsebseb | Datz: I can guide you through doing the install with seperate /home doesn't take much | 18:16 |
| thune3 | joshua_roberts: make sure it all works now, and well figure out the startup thing. | 18:16 |
| sebsebseb | Datz: no Firefox don't do that | 18:16 |
| SlidingHorn | Pascat: trism: you cannot remove evolution without removing dependencies required by gnome (AFAIK) -- not sure how one would edit the indicator applet | 18:16 |
| detrix | sebsebseb, sorry, thats correct. I was meaning that I managed to get my resolutions back under jaunty. Under 10.04, I cant seem to do it. | 18:16 |
| Pascat | :/ | 18:17 |
| jcapinc | anyone know why ubuntu would freeze on startup? Mouse moves, and I can get to console through ctrl+F3-6, but other then that nothing happens. cannot move windows, cannot open anything, nothing is responsive | 18:17 |
| regeya | I don't suppose anyone else here uses openldap with the ldif backend. :-} | 18:17 |
| trism | SlidingHorn: that is not true | 18:17 |
| sebsebseb | jcapinc: with a clean install? | 18:17 |
| ForestBear | hey guys rhythmbox's Control+W (close window) shortcut doesn't work, how come? Keyboard is fine, other shortcuts are fine, manually pressing the Close Window option works fine. | 18:17 |
| trism | SlidingHorn: removing evolution will only remove evolution evolution-couchdb evolution-exchange evolution-indicator evolution-plugins; | 18:17 |
| joshua_roberts | I plugged my usb printer in and it has been detected | 18:17 |
| sebsebseb | joshua_roberts: ok good :) | 18:17 |
| jcapinc | fairly clean, no special modifacations, newest nvidia driver, some applications installed, but the install is like 2 days old | 18:18 |
| SlidingHorn | trism: has that changed within the past couple releases? I thought sure I remembered removing it (this was a long time ago, but...) and it took out a LOT of dependencies that really doomed my system for a while | 18:18 |
| babalu | i have a file "dummy" containing a line *.scala and i would like to do something like "cat dummy | xargs kate" but that's not working because the star is not expanding; how can i fix that? | 18:18 |
| x0x | hi bazhang | 18:18 |
| BedMan | jcapinc: what did you do most recently? | 18:18 |
| trism | SlidingHorn: Pascat although if you don't want to remove evolution, you can remove the file /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/evolution which adds it to the indicator applet | 18:18 |
| Krazyderek | does ; comment out a line just like # ? anyone? | 18:18 |
| x0x | bazhang: sup ? | 18:18 |
| jcapinc | installled php5-xdebug | 18:18 |
| joshua_roberts | and the printer prints | 18:18 |
| jcapinc | lol | 18:18 |
| thune3 | joshua_roberts: the easiest likely fix is to just reinstall cups "sudo apt-get install --reinstall cups" | 18:19 |
| joshua_roberts | so what about startup? | 18:19 |
| sipior | babalu: try using "eval" | 18:19 |

| h00k | Krazyderek: it depends on what how whatever parses that config file reads it | 18:20 |
| sebsebseb | jcapinc: and when you boot up what happens exactly? | 18:20 |
| Krazyderek | @SlidingHorn it's in the smb.conf file for samba | 18:20 |

| BreezyBlue | thanks bro | 18:22 |
| seanjohn | trism: i selected that as a package to install | 18:22 |
| jcapinc | sebsebseb, I did that, it did not work | 18:22 |
| Krazyderek | i'm sure the samba guys might know better | 18:22 |
| sebsebseb | Pascat: KDE has something, but Gnome nah | 18:22 |
| Krazyderek | since it's the base file | 18:22 |
| Krazyderek | thanks | 18:22 |
| sebsebseb | Pascat: well I don't think there is anything | 18:22 |
| Pascat | K | 18:22 |
| seanjohn | I try to connect to the ip, trism, and it says "connection refused" which means it IS booted up | 18:22 |
| jcapinc | sebsebseb, stopped and started several times same output | 18:22 |
| trism | seanjohn: it should start automatically at boot then, otherwise sudo service ssh start; will start it | 18:22 |
| sebsebseb | Pascat: so do you use Gwibber for anything else? | 18:22 |
| Pascat | Basically, all I want is something to keep track of Facebook events. | 18:23 |
| Jungli | bazhang: how are you ? | 18:23 |
| Pascat | I am on no other microblogging service. | 18:23 |
| sebsebseb | Pascat: without Gwibber on the me menu, or being used for something else, its rather pointless really, may as well remove :D | 18:23 |
| babalu | i have a file "dummy" containing a line *.scala and i would like to do something like "cat dummy | xargs kate" but that's not working because the star is not expanding; how can i fix that? <- so basically i have to use 'eval' but for instance "cat dummy | xargs eval kate" doesn't work :/ | 18:23 |

| === Jungli is now known as wowpow | ||
| sebsebseb | Pascat: auto shut down after a minute, and the proper shut down screen, instead of silly do you really want to shut down or restart messages. plus log out and shut down back in the system menu, where they are meant to be still really | 18:25 |
| SlidingHorn | Buttons840: do you mean the GNU Scheme interpreter? sudo apt-get install guile-1.6 | 18:25 |
| Pascat | btw, I tried Kubuntu...I liked everything -except- one thing: I hate the looks :/ | 18:25 |
| sebsebseb | Pascat: yeah looks like Windows | 18:25 |
| sebsebseb | Pascat: by default | 18:25 |
| trism | Buttons840: it is there, tried sudo apt-get install mit-scheme; ? | 18:26 |
| sebsebseb | Pascat: then all geek to customize | 18:26 |
| Pascat | Gnome is really really easy to customize. | 18:26 |
| trism | Buttons840: it is odd that you would see the doc package and not the main package, since they are both in universe | 18:26 |
| sebsebseb | Pascat: indeed | 18:26 |
| Buttons840 | SlidingHorn: probably, i think guile is what i want | 18:26 |
| Pascat | but not as powerful interface wise as Kubuntu... | 18:26 |
| sebsebseb | Pascat: re starting why? with 10.04 Gnome isn't even how it should be, according to upstream I mean | 18:26 |

| Pascat | what the heck is Prism? | 18:28 |
| seanjohn | trism: i have an idea that it may be that the frequency being sent to the monitor is out of range. The monitor shuts off and the light blinks faster than when it is sleeping | 18:28 |
| seanjohn | how do you change the frequency to 60hz | 18:28 |

| KittyBoots | Hello, I just installed the new version of ubuntu, and I want to put the close minimize and maxamize buttns back on the right side of the window. How do I do that? | 18:29 |
| SlidingHorn | pascat: chrome does it too I think | 18:29 |
| sebsebseb | !controls | KittyBoots | 18:29 |
| ubottu | KittyBoots: 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 | 18:29 |

| joshua_roberts | If I wanted to add cups to ubuntu tweaks startup list what command would I use? | 18:29 |

| LogicalDash | KittyBoots, you just have to change the theme. Go to the Appearances app, in the System->Preferences menu. | 18:30 |
| sebsebseb | on the subject of themes, the brown look can be installed in 10.04 :) and the older human theme is :) | 18:30 |

| sebsebseb | Cheery: are you donig OpenGL 3D games for example or Compiz? | 19:05 |
| dim3000 | How can I write to a usb (which is mounted readonly on /cdrom) when booting as a live cd from the usb | 19:05 |
| denni1 | via an internal usb cable, yes that would be harder to unplug :-) | 19:05 |
| Cheery | sebsebseb: yes, hell no. + opencl over that | 19:06 |
| sebsebseb | Cheery: uhmm? opencl? | 19:06 |
| johnpaul | lol dennil....sorry, i'm new to ubuntu and am completely lost! | 19:06 |
| abhi_nav | dim3000, you want to write what? | 19:06 |
| sebsebseb | Cheery: if you are not doing OpenGL games or Compiz, you don't really need a propritary Nivida driver installed | 19:06 |
| dim3000 | abhi_nav: to the USB which is acting as a Live CD | 19:07 |
| Cheery | sebsebseb: are you serious? | 19:07 |
| sebsebseb | Cheery: yes | 19:07 |
| Cheery | next question: are you dumb? | 19:07 |
| Niccoli | BluesKaj, I entered it into the terminal and it apparently has my drivers, but its listed as a secondary card | 19:07 |
| sebsebseb | Cheery: Ok heres a question for you, have you just started trolling? | 19:07 |
| denni1 | johnpaul: did you try plugging it in for a second time? some only pick up the second signal not all usb equipment is perfect, | 19:08 |
| Cheery | sebsebseb: realize this: people don't buy +100€ graphics hardware just to play solitaire. | 19:08 |
| detrix | how do I safely remove the nouveau video driver. I have done the following: apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau. Its removed, but the X log says its still using it. | 19:08 |
| JJovereats | Excuse me, could I sat that I have the butterflies in the stomach after saying Yes to Upgrade. I did every precaution a desktop user would need to do, even backing up my 5-so GiB home folders total on to a 1TB (923GiB) HDD. | 19:08 |
| johnpaul | yeah, I've taken it out a couple of different times. The light next to the slot doesn't come on though...maybe something inside is unplugged? | 19:08 |
| Cheery | sebsebseb: if I have bought an nvidia card with all fads around today, I'm going to use it. | 19:08 |
| JJovereats | sat XXX say | 19:08 |
| Slart | detrix: I think I blacklisted it on my system | 19:08 |
| abhi_nav | dim3000, you want to write your own docs or system files/settings? | 19:09 |
| An_Ony_Moose | I accidentally broke the window manager just now - I managed to fix it by running compiz --replace, but gnome-panel isn't coming back. How can I restore it? I've tried killing it alreay. | 19:09 |
| dim3000 | abhi_nav: docs | 19:09 |
| Cheery | sebsebseb: so don't say anything about not needing graphics accel. | 19:09 |
| sebsebseb | Cheery: people in here are volunters, treat people with respect that are trying to help you :) | 19:09 |
| detrix | Slart: I have it in my blacklist as well but its still getting used | 19:09 |
| Slart | detrix: hmm.. what line did you add to your blacklist file? | 19:09 |
| sebsebseb | Cheery: also you didn't even say originally what you were wanting to use the card for originalley | 19:09 |
| dim3000 | abhi_nav: like leave the live cd files alone and just create a new folder myfiles to store data | 19:09 |
| JJovereats | An_0ny_Moose: Click the area of Panel, it worked for me | 19:09 |
| anirvana | How can I make ubuntu autostart wvdial on startup?I can't use mobile broadband anymore after reebooting :( | 19:09 |
| detrix | Slart: blacklist nouveau | 19:10 |
| abhi_nav | dim3000, then you sould be able to save them as normally. no special thing needed. | 19:10 |
| JJovereats | just check your net settings | 19:10 |
| An_Ony_Moose | nvm, got it - gnome-panel --replace | 19:10 |
| Cheery | sebsebseb: if someone has a working graphics card and he wants drivers for it. isn't it pretty dran obvious what he wants? | 19:10 |
| sebsebseb | Cheery: anyway have fun with your card, I am not going to bother trying to help you anymore now. | 19:10 |
| Slart | detrix: that's odd.. I have that exact line as well.. in my /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | 19:10 |
| k-rad | how do i zap (delete) a huge directory that sudo rm -Rf folder/ takes too long to nuke | 19:10 |
| dim3000 | abhi_nav: can\t because the usb is mounted as a cdrom on /cdrom and is readonly, chmod doesnt work, the actual mounted filesystem is read-only | 19:10 |
| Cheery | sebsebseb: though there's one thing you didn't knew. my need for opencl support. | 19:10 |
| sebsebseb | Cheery: no since some people might be installing driver since they think they need to, not because they actsauly do | 19:10 |
| Slart | detrix: checked the spelling? | 19:10 |
| denni1 | johnpaul: also your card may be sdhc and you need a newer reader, they come free with a brand name card sometimes. otherwise a newer linux edition may be needed to drive the usb reader. | 19:10 |
| abhi_nav | dim3000, you can use your live usb as our regular usb drive to save data. | 19:10 |
| Cheery | sebsebseb: because of that 173 version drivers aren't enough. | 19:11 |
| Cheery | sebsebseb: YET one thing. You weren't helpful from the beginning. just line noise. | 19:11 |
| denni1 | has the usb reader ever worked in linux? | 19:11 |
| dim3000 | abhi_nav: nope, doesnt show up anymore, only in fdisk | 19:11 |
| johnpaul | alright dennil, i'll check it out. The card is 4 years old | 19:11 |
| detrix | Slart: its spelled nouveau ... right?? | 19:11 |

| Andrew_M | Sure. I have Win XP on one HD (/dev/sda1) and Linux on the other (/dev/sdb1). I can boot into Linux ok, but not Windows. I've tried adding Windows to the grub menu and device map but with no luck. | 19:19 |

| jungleberrykid | Andrew_M what is the output of the command os-prober? | 19:22 |
| sebsebseb | dopple: right yeah | 19:22 |
| sebsebseb | dopple: when you install new kernels it will add to Grub | 19:22 |
| sebsebseb | dopple: however easy enough to get rid of that | 19:22 |

| Slart | !ask | ztf | 19:22 |
| ubottu | ztf: 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. :-) | 19:22 |
| sebsebseb | dopple: is this what you mean as well? | 19:22 |
| JackStoner | ztf ask the question | 19:22 |
| Andrew_M | I understand is I can't get help here. | 19:22 |
| Andrew_M | *if | 19:22 |
| sebsebseb | Andrew_M: ok | 19:22 |
| jungleberrykid | another command you could run is update-grub | 19:23 |
| sebsebseb | Andrew_M: you can try ##linux as well I guess | 19:23 |
| dopple | sebsebseb: really.. if i can move windows to the top of the list and have ubuntu second, i'll be happy with that | 19:23 |
| sebsebseb | dopple: yes can do that as well | 19:23 |
| sebsebseb | dopple: well with the old Grub no problem, Grub 2 I guess not that hard to do there either | 19:23 |

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 19:23 |
| sebsebseb | dopple: however when kernels add them selves, you can just remove the old ones in Synaptic for example | 19:23 |
| Andrew_M | sebsebseb, thanks. I'll try there. | 19:23 |
| sebsebseb | Andrew_M: is your issue with Ubuntu or not? | 19:23 |
| sebsebseb | Andrew_M: oh nevermind | 19:23 |
| sebsebseb | Andrew_M: yeah ##linux for any distro | 19:24 |

| sebsebseb | dopple: both have those menus, and a desktop | 19:27 |
| dopple | i just installed karmic and that thing doesnt come up... all those things are under the ubuntu logo in the top left screen | 19:27 |
| akkan84 | how can i stop SSD from erasing everything i install after cold boot? | 19:27 |
| sebsebseb | dopple: which thing? | 19:27 |
| Slart | detrix: check in /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see why it thinks it can't use higher resolutions.. pastebin the entire file if you want and let us have a look at it as well | 19:28 |
| dopple | sigh | 19:28 |
| sebsebseb | dopple: be more specific, I am not following | 19:28 |
| sebsebseb | dopple: also you can customize 10.04 | 19:28 |
| sebsebseb | dopple: to look like 9.10 | 19:28 |
| Slart | akkan84: SSD? why would a solid state disk do that? | 19:28 |
| abhi_nav | JackStoner, yes It seems like problem with specific account and not with empathy. | 19:28 |

| === Andrew_M is now known as Anderw__M | ||

| ztf | How to change the login sound in 10.04???? | 19:29 |
| trupheenix | askhader: ? | 19:29 |
| dopple | ok.. when i installed lucid... when i booted up, what i saw on the screen was more or less like a launcher for apps... when i installed karmic.. thats all accessible by clicking the ubuntu logo in the top left corner, not taking up the whole screen | 19:29 |
| Jordan_U | akkan84: You can add what is called "persistence" to your current setup, but it is IMHO still sub stadard comparted to a real install. | 19:30 |
| jens_ | How to install wacom bamboo touch & pen in 10.04?? (: | 19:30 |
| Niccoli | Blueskaj, I typed in my make (ati) and model 9200 in the package manager, no luck | 19:30 |
| Svartalf | akkan84: I would have to concur with Jordan_U's assessment there. It shouldn't "erase" anything if you've actually installed to the SSD. I've installed to a RAID0 (only sane config for RAID0...) setup with two SSD's recently for my server and it works fine. | 19:30 |

| ubottu | jens_: 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. | 19:30 |
| dopple | although karmic is still being laggy as hell with screen updates so i might just be scrapping the whole ubuntu idea | 19:30 |
| trupheenix | askhader: there was a utility right? u could choose what stuff rc2 started? | 19:31 |
| nightrider | ztf, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvYIugyNc2o | 19:31 |
| Svartalf | dopple: Might I suggest turning off Compiz? | 19:31 |
| askhader | trupheenix: I wouldn't know, I don't use graphical interfaces. | 19:31 |
| dopple | svartalf: sure you can suggest that... what is it? :) | 19:31 |
| === milos is now known as mikisid | ||
| clarence_ | j | 19:32 |
| dopple | svartalf: suggest anything you like... you just might have to explain what it is ;-) | 19:32 |
| trupheenix | askhader: no no a command line utlility i can't seem to get the name | 19:32 |
| askhader | trupheenix: Nor do I use commapnd line utilities | 19:32 |
| askhader | trupheenix: I'm asking if there is a symolbic link to mysql in your /etc/rc2.d | 19:32 |
| Svartalf | dopple: It's the compositing manager (meaning special effects...eyecandy) for Ubuntu. It uses OpenGL aggressively and if you've got less than a mid-end card or higher, it's going to possibly feel laggy. | 19:32 |
| clarence_ | f | 19:33 |
| Svartalf | dopple: Try going to System->Preferences->Appearance in your menus on the desktop, it will bring up a pop-up with tabs. | 19:33 |
| trupheenix | askhader: yes there is | 19:34 |
| trupheenix | askhader: but this is not the right way to remove it | 19:34 |
| askhader | trupheenix: This is why it is being started up at bot. | 19:34 |
| dopple | svartalf: system? | 19:34 |
| askhader | trupheenix: By what convention? | 19:34 |
| Svartalf | dopple: If you click on the "Visual Effects" tab, it'll move to it. | 19:34 |
| Worms | dopple: I thought you were after initial grub2 screen for removing memtest and bringing windows to top? have you solved it? | 19:34 |
| adex | is there a good app that lets you use a pc controller for emulators and such | 19:34 |
| Svartalf | dopple: Yeah, the system menu, sub menu preferences, item Appearance. | 19:34 |
| dopple | svartalf: got ya... | 19:35 |
| trupheenix | askhader: u have to keep hunting | 19:35 |
| oddtod | hey i have vmware installed on my computer and i'm looking to enable 3d graphics on the virtual machines. From what i read it require opengl 2.0 but i have 1.3 installed how can i upgrade | 19:35 |
| askhader | trupheenix: What? | 19:35 |
| dopple | worms: no i havent solved that.... but if i cant get this to stop being so laggy im just gonna remove it :( | 19:35 |
| Svartalf | Once you've got the Visual Effects tab selected, click "None" to turn it off. If it's already in "None", don't know what to tell you unless I've got more info for you. | 19:35 |
| Svartalf | er, from... | 19:35 |

| dopple | ive never known linux to be slower than windows.... | 19:36 |
| Niccoli | BluesKaj, I typed in my make (ati) and model (9200) in the package manager, no luck | 19:37 |
| askhader | dopple: Who claims otherwise? | 19:37 |
| banker247 | hey scorch | 19:37 |
| dopple | askhader, hmm?? | 19:37 |
| Krow_ | hi | 19:37 |
| Svartalf | dopple: Shouldn't be- my stuff isn't like that and I'm running against all sort of goofball hardware. | 19:37 |
| askhader | dopple: Who claims that Windows is faster than Linux? | 19:37 |
| Slart | detrix: you might want to check which binary driver version you should be using.. the newest one doesn't support all cards... | 19:37 |
| Krow_ | Askhader | 19:37 |
| Krow_ | Me | 19:37 |
| Krow_ | :p | 19:37 |
| dopple | askhader, right now, i am.... | 19:37 |
| banker247 | am i in big room? | 19:37 |
| askhader | dopple: What seems to be the problem? | 19:38 |
| dopple | this thing is super laggy | 19:38 |
| askhader | What 'thing' ? | 19:38 |
| crdlb | Niccoli: your video card is supported by the radeon driver that is included with ubuntu | 19:38 |
| banker247 | theres a buncha zombies in there | 19:38 |
| dopple | askhader, linux | 19:38 |
| crdlb | Niccoli: the only reason it wouldn't work is if you switched from an nvidia or newer ATI card (so you'll need to remove those drivers) | 19:38 |
| nightrider | blown | 19:38 |
| Slart | detrix: I have some errands to run so I can't help you any further.. but check that log file.. it should tell you what it thinks of your monitor, frequencies and such.. then it should list all the graphics modes it wants to use and probably say something like "this frequency is too low" or something like that | 19:38 |
| trupheenix | askhader: update-rc.d that's what i was looking for | 19:39 |
| trupheenix | askhader: it removes all links | 19:39 |
| dopple | every system ive ever run linux on ran WAY faster than in windows... but for some reason... this one is running much slower | 19:39 |
| Niccoli | crdlb, how can I tell if its my video card thats running my graphics or if its my onboard (I switched from an onboard) | 19:39 |
| Krow_ | someone plays world of warfract here ? >< sorry i'm not on the best place for this question but nobody is on " #wow " :p | 19:39 |

| Krow_ | i'll try | 19:39 |
| askhader | er | 19:39 |
| askhader | #winehq I think | 19:39 |
| crdlb | Niccoli: um, which one is the monitor plugged in to? | 19:40 |
| adex | is there a good app for pc controllers for emulators | 19:40 |
| Niccoli | crdlb, its plugged into my radeon at the moment | 19:40 |
| dopple | Jordan_U, Intel Graphics card... thats all lspci tells me | 19:40 |
| sugna | I am trying to write a bash script that makes use of zenity. for this is need to read a file and preface every line with TRUE or FALSE. can anyone think of a way of doing this? | 19:40 |
| crdlb | Niccoli: therefore, you're using that GPU :) | 19:40 |
| Niccoli | crdlb, but when I run open arena and look at the video secton it lists the onboard not my radeon | 19:40 |
| Krow_ | HUm | 19:41 |

| Krow_ | askh , ##wine is empty >< | 19:41 |

| jens_ | How to install wacom bamboo pen & touch in 10.04?? (: | 19:42 |
| Worms | dopple: to remove memtest you have to navigate to /etc/grub.d and make 20_memtest86+ unexecutable By typing sudo chmod -x 20_memtest86+. To bring windows to top rename 30_os-prober to something like 06_os-prober (less than 10) and update grub. | 19:43 |

| abhi_nav | JackStoner, locked? how? | 19:48 |
| guntbert | !backtrack | rao | 19:48 |
| ubottu | rao: 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) | 19:48 |
| JackStoner | abhi_nav, i think someone has been trying to log in many times using the wrong password so now i have a 24-hr block | 19:48 |
| Exxon | rao, #backtrack-linux | 19:49 |
| abhi_nav | JackStoner, ohhh so sad. try after 24 hr. and if you have alternate email set then ask it for forget password and set new password. (just my opinion) | 19:49 |
| Yashy | rotating desktop backgrounds using http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=612498 Anyone know the commandline difference to have a different image appear on each monitor? | 19:49 |
| crdlb | Niccoli: it is using the radeon, but something is going wrong with 3d acceleration; you should try disabling the onboard graphics in the BIOS setup | 19:49 |
| Niccoli | crdlb, how would I go about doing that? | 19:50 |
| JackStoner | abhi_nav, wil try the alternate email thing :P thanks | 19:50 |
| abhi_nav | JackStoner, :) | 19:50 |

| Krow_ | heum | 19:51 |
| Krow_ | what time is it please ? xD | 19:51 |
| Jordan_U | coder7: #ubuntu-server is probably better. | 19:51 |
| JackStoner | abhi_nav, i can sign on to yahoo mail on but not on pidgin :( | 19:51 |

| Crazycheese | Hello! Im looking to buying two all-in-one printing devices. Do you know what manufacturer officially supports linux in opensource way(not binary blobs)? | 19:52 |
| JackStoner | abhi_nav, well...both empathy and pidgin | 19:52 |
| crdlb | Niccoli: it varies by computer, but you should be able to hit a key when booting (before ubuntu starts) and enter the BIOS configuration | 19:53 |
| abhi_nav | JackStoner, then you wll get more appropriate help in theyre respective channelr or wiki. I dont know much in it | 19:53 |
| Niccoli | crdlb, I know how to get into BIOS, but what would the option look like for disabling my onboard? | 19:53 |
| Jordan_U | dopple: Ok, that means that you aren't using Kernel Mode Setting for some reason (it may have been blacklisted for cards similar to yours). Enabling KMS may get you better performance. | 19:53 |
| Pascat | ...When did you guys fix that thing where I couldn't switch users using the FGLRX Driver? o.o | 19:54 |
| zkriesse | JackStoner: what is your issue | 19:54 |
| dustybin | i need to install mythtv .23 frontend on ubuntu karmic, karmic only comes with .22, is there a such thing as a unstable repo? | 19:54 |
| JackStoner | abhi_nav, thanks though for your time | 19:54 |
| Pascat | before, I had to uninstall the video driver to pull that off | 19:54 |
| JackStoner | zkriesse, i cant seem to connect on yahoo using empathy OR pidgin | 19:54 |

| zkriesse | vivimado: what's the issue my friend | 19:55 |
| zkriesse | JackStoner: Hmm | 19:56 |
| vivimado | i cant have sound and video | 19:56 |
| zkriesse | JackStoner: That's odd | 19:56 |
| crdlb | Niccoli: oh, it should just be something like "Onboard GPU", but it might be buried | 19:56 |
| zkriesse | vivimado: Concerning what? Just sound and video in general or what | 19:56 |
| SlidingHorn | Crazycheese: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers | 19:56 |

| dopple | Jordan_U, how do i enable KMS? | 19:56 |
| vivimado | yes just sound and video | 19:56 |
| Jordan_U | dopple: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes explains how to re-enable KMS, though there is a chance that will cause hard locks with your hardware. | 19:56 |
| zkriesse | vivimado: For say a movie? | 19:57 |
| dopple | cute | 19:57 |
| JackStoner | zkriesse, ya...been trying now pidgin gives me a message that the account is locked while empathy doesnt seem to know why i cant connect | 19:57 |
| zkriesse | JackStoner: Hmmm...I'm at a total loss | 19:57 |
| vivimado | on pidgin dont working | 19:57 |
| zkriesse | vivimado: Ok so sound doesn't work on Pidgin | 19:57 |
| JackStoner | zkriesse, its ok.. :) | 19:57 |
| SlidingHorn | JackStoner: sounds like you've been trying to log in with the incorrect information. I think you may have to contact yahoo in some form to see about getting the account unlocked | 19:57 |
| vivimado | u know other the same pidgin for ubuntu? | 19:58 |
| zkriesse | vivimado: Did you go in the Preferences menu and check the option to make sound when someone pings you or says your name in conversation? | 19:58 |
| Gump | hey #ubuntu, would it be possible to use an sd card as a livecd/liveusb device? | 19:58 |
| JackStoner | SlidingHorn, strange thing is i've been trying to log in with the same password which works on yahoo mail | 19:58 |
| Gwar | Gump, an SD card connected to what? A card reader? | 19:59 |
| Gump | gwar: built in card reader | 19:59 |
| vivimado | just me i know my password | 19:59 |
| Jordan_U | Gump: Yes, you can even to a standard Ubuntu install if it's large enough (I've done it). | 19:59 |
| Pen | Are there any PDF readers that are both Windows/Ubuntu friendly? | 19:59 |
| Gwar | Gump, It should be able to. Just remember to set the reader to boot first | 19:59 |
| Gwar | Pen, Adobe Reader? | 20:00 |
| Crazycheese | SlidingHorn: I dont understand.. I need a printer that has official page for linux and provides .ppd CUPS driver without any own tools or scripts... | 20:00 |
| Pen | Besides that hunk of crap | 20:00 |
| Pen | lol | 20:00 |
| Gump | awesome. so how do i go about doing it? format the disk, | 20:00 |
| Gump | then what | 20:00 |
| ztf | I can't login gmail in firefox,there's no problem if i use chrome | 20:00 |
| Gwar | Gump, unetbootin | 20:00 |
| Crazycheese | So opensource printing under linux is nonexistant? | 20:00 |
| Gwar | Or, use the Ubuntu's own software | 20:00 |
| Gump | alright thanks | 20:00 |
| dopple | Jordan_U, im not quite sure this is a i8xx chip tho.... output of lspci for VGA is: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) Graphics Controller [8086:8108] (rev 07) | 20:01 |
| Gump | i'm attempting to partition my disk and install windows to the same HD as my ubuntu install. any warnings you guys might have? | 20:01 |
| dopple | Gump, windows is going to overwrite your boot loader so make sure you have an alternate way to boot back into ubuntu and repair the bootloader | 20:02 |
| abhi_nav | Gump, 1st install windows and then ubuntu | 20:02 |
| dopple | err.. overwrite your MBR i should say | 20:02 |
| Jordan_U | dopple: Oh, poulsbo... | 20:02 |
| Gump | dopple: that's what i need a livecd for | 20:02 |
| Ryan1 | I just installed Windows 7 after my Ubunto installation and now I can't see my CDROM drive listed in the BIOS as a boot option nor can I see it as a mounted drive in Ubuntu | 20:02 |
| robert99 | hi. i have a strage problem: my computer sometimes doesn't start up. is anybody willing to help me? | 20:02 |
| Gwar | Gump, why not use the windows installer? | 20:02 |
| Gwar | or are you past that phase and want a commited dual boot? | 20:02 |
| Jordan_U | dopple: Poulsbo has notoriously bad linux support. | 20:03 |
| Gump | gwar, i will. first i'm going to partition my disk using a gparted livecd, then im going to install windows to that partition, then im going to use a livecd to fix my bootloader | 20:03 |
| dopple | abhi_nav, not necessary to install windows first, as long as he has a livecd that he can use to boot back in and re-do the MBR with grub | 20:03 |
| * JackStoner goes to sleep | 20:03 | |
| dopple | Jordan_U, i was afraid you were gonna say that :-/ | 20:03 |
| abhi_nav | dopple, yah I knoow that solution. but I am not clear if he is noob or not. so I ddnt suggest that. | 20:03 |

| skeeter101 | hey guys, I have Ubuntu 9.10 and I have installed a second network card and configured it with a static ip addy. eth0 is set as an internal ip for my local stuff, eth1 is set with static. From the box itself, I can ping the internal ip and the external ip. From a windows machine, I can ping the internal ip, but not the external ip that is on the second network card. Can someone point me in the right direction to sol | 20:05 |
| VanessaE | question: I'm doing a fresh install of lucid (32 bit) on another box and it seems to be hanging around the 94% mark. It's done this twice now, but the disc checks out OK, and the hardware seems to be fine. | 20:05 |
| Ryan1 | I don't see my CDROM listed as a drive in the /etc/fstab file. I can't access my CDROM. Does anyone have any ideas as to why? | 20:05 |
| abhi_nav | hoverbear, I ask here at my time and someone good man give me the direct link. wait let me see if i can found it for you | 20:05 |
| dopple | hoverbear: dont know the exact url for the iso you want, but heres the one i used to get 10.04 netbook version: http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04-netbook-i386.iso.torrent | 20:05 |
| hoverbear | Thank you sir | 20:05 |
| dopple | so i would assume if you just change that url around for the correct iso you want.. maybe change netbook to desktop, it should work for you | 20:06 |
| daeda1us | just installed 10.04, and trying to access shares from a windows machine straight out of the box... using Places, Network... I get a list of the windows boxes on the network, but when i try to access i get "Unable to mount location. Failed to retrieve share list from server." Any ideas? I've been able to access windows share from other linux machines with no problems. | 20:06 |
| Sansui350A | question: is there a way I can build a kernel WITHOUT upstart? | 20:06 |
| thiagoss | Any reason why automake1.8 isn't in lucid repositories? Automake from 1.4 to 1.10 are available, except it | 20:06 |
| dopple | Jordan_U, any suggestions for this video card? :-) i really dont wanna scrap the ubuntu idea | 20:07 |
| VanessaE | I left the install to run for about an hour and 15 minutes, came back to find it at 94%, and left it alone. An hour later, it was still stuck there. | 20:07 |

| Jordan_U | jstew: You're welcome. Don't be surprised when it actually starts upgrading things, all modifications to system files after starting do-release-upgrade --sandbox, untill you reboot, are temporary. | 20:07 |
| dopple | Sansui350A, have you ever been successful in changing the video card in a netbook? hell it was hard enough installing operating systems without a cdrom drive! :P | 20:08 |
| mikubuntu | heeeellllllp!! i'm screwed!!! i just installed 10.04 using the alt installer on my friends computer, and wiped out her xp, and now buntu wont boot!!! what do i do? the screen is saying no signal. | 20:08 |
| abhi_nav | hoverbear, I found it. one this page you get torrent links: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#bt | 20:08 |
| Sansui350A | dopple: oh, yeah... netbook is no-go for video-card swap... | 20:08 |
| dopple | Sansui350A, hehehe yeah i know ;-) | 20:08 |
| Jordan_U | mikubuntu: Try holding shift during boot and see if you can get into "recovery mode" | 20:09 |
| mikubuntu | Jordan_U: ok, gimme a sec | 20:09 |
| dopple | Sansui350A, and operating system installations on a netbook require about a fifth of vodka as a prerequisite :) | 20:09 |

| PigeonCluster | Tazer, sounds like a badly dead HD | 20:21 |
| valen` | ok | 20:21 |
| NthDegree | Tazer, that interferes with the MBR and such by making it read-only, which can mess things up | 20:21 |
| ukixx-baby | ok tnx | 20:21 |
| Tazer | Ah | 20:21 |
| Tazer | How would I check that/disable it? | 20:21 |
| bigleon | VanessaE if it's a harddrive try listening to your HD... listen for clicks and tapping. when you install particuarlly when it locks up... it can be tedious but it's old fashion tall tell sign that something is wrong hardware side... Otherwise I recommend redownloading your distro re burn to a disk and reinstall. | 20:21 |
| PigeonCluster | Tazer, which, incidentally, is actually a good thing when you are not actually trying to change it | 20:21 |
| NthDegree | Tazer, look on the CMOS Setup bits (y'know the menu when you press DEL or F2 or w/e on boot?) | 20:22 |
| Tazer | Yeah | 20:22 |
| NthDegree | it should be listed somewhere in there if the BIOS supports it | 20:22 |
| valen` | My microphone doesn't work, and when I connect to teamspeak 3, whatever I listen (music, etc.) it sounds as my microphone (sorry 4 my english, sucks) | 20:22 |

| NthDegree | and if it's enabled, it needs to be turned off | 20:22 |
| bigleon | alkemann I got the exact same setup as you for the most part, before installing Wubi, i had to partions my Core for Win7 + my 200 gig seperated partion. One thing to note with wubi is you sacrafice some disc performace. | 20:22 |

| Jordan_U | moes: "sudo update-grub" should detect your other distro automagically. | 20:23 |
| bigleon | alkemann Now the partion used for wubi probbaly is very minimal and takes up no more space than it needs... So I can't see that being issue, so problem possibly lies in a ram issue or an overall lack of space... I'd make sure that your wubi install is on your bigger partion. | 20:23 |

| bigleon | Blueskaj I prefer to keep my Win7 install for wow and other windoze games ( that and my win 7 disk is about 100miles away atm.) | 20:29 |

| moes | Jordan_U, I want to add a distro that uses grub legacy as the boot manager I will add grub to the root partition will grub 2 still recognize the new distro | 20:29 |
| Aut0ExeC | Jordan_U: good info brother... power to the people | 20:29 |
| Jordan_U | moes: Yes, grub2 will recognize it. | 20:29 |
| moes | Jordan_U, Many thanks | 20:30 |
| sabuntu | hello_kitty: it sounds like the program its self might have a error | 20:30 |
| Jordan_U | moes: You're welcome. | 20:30 |

| sabuntu | valen`: mine used to do that on kubuntu. until i downloading the restricted packages, not saying that would fix it. but you could try | 20:35 |
| joris_ | I am looking for more than 3 months to a solution for my 2nd monitor. | 20:35 |
| bigleon | thats deffiently a good start sabuntu | 20:35 |
| daeda1us | hmm... still cant access windows shares from 10.04... even tried to access using smb4k (that always used to be trusty, if not a bit bloaty)... anywhere i can look first for issues? | 20:35 |
| Jordan_U | mikubuntu: I assume that the reason you used the alternate installer is that the LiveCD had the same problem with the screen? | 20:35 |
| abhi_nav | joris_ if possible consider professional help then | 20:35 |
| bigleon | Valen go to your "hardware" monitor and look for any microphone drivers that is a godo way to start trouble shooting your issue. | 20:35 |
| valen` | sabuntu, I already have the restricted packages | 20:35 |
| overkill_ | I am not to ubuntu and can't get my wireless card working | 20:35 |
| overkill_ | new* | 20:36 |
| Gwar | overkill_, is it a Broadcom? | 20:36 |
| overkill_ | yea | 20:36 |
| mikubuntu | Jordan_U: i was trying to see if i had a cursor if this screen behaved as a terminal so i hit the down arrow key, and i got a gui with the ubuntu splash i think the dots are changing color underneath, but if its booting, its awfully slow | 20:36 |
| Gwar | see PMs | 20:36 |
| thune3 | valen`: it was working before? and then it stopped? | 20:36 |
| bigleon | I got broadcom issues too you guy have a solution? | 20:36 |
| joris_ | I don't know how to get a dual head. | 20:36 |
| valen` | yes, I think I touched something I shouldn't... | 20:36 |
| valen` | but i don't remember :S | 20:36 |
| nyxtom | Has anyone ever run into aptitude package conflicts to a point where it asks you if you want it to try harder? | 20:36 |
| bigleon | I've been fighting with broadcom drivers all day and yesterday T_T | 20:36 |
| Jordan_U | mikubuntu: Just wait then, it's probably running fsck since it's been improperly shut down many times. | 20:36 |
| nyxtom | i've never seen that before until now | 20:36 |
| mikubuntu | Jordan_U: no, its just the only disk i had burned | 20:36 |
| mikubuntu | Jordan_U: ok, waiting | 20:37 |
| sabuntu | valen`: then try messing with the sound settings. until its fixed | 20:37 |
| kermit | broadcom only supports win, you probably have to use NDISwrapper | 20:37 |
| niccoli | crdlb, I searched for some way to disable my onboard in my BIOS and no luck, all I could find was an onboard or PCI setting for the GPU which was set for PCI | 20:37 |
| bigleon | Well broadcom has a linux driver on their website and ubuntu "tested" but it's not working for me... | 20:37 |
| valen` | I've spent like.. 5 hours, doing all what I could... and nothing... :S | 20:37 |
| ManDay | anyone know where my volume indicator applet went to and how to get it back? | 20:37 |
| valen` | I'm thinking about re-insatalling ubuntu xD | 20:37 |
| BluesKaj | bigleon, I'm not absolutely sure that wubi is causing your "wifi nightmare", but ubuntu wifi seems very good these days on it's own. you can make an ext 4 partition on some free space on your HDD and not affect your w7 or data partions , whatsoever. it's much more advantageous and stable for all OSs as well. | 20:37 |
| Segura | yeah sure.. | 20:37 |
| joris_ | abhi_nav: where can I find professional help? | 20:38 |
| bigleon | Blueskaj how would i go about doing that? | 20:38 |
| Balgan | ManDay, right click on bar add new Indicator applet | 20:38 |
| nyxtom | I'm going to go ahead and call the "try harder" prompt aptitude vudoo | 20:38 |
| Jordan_U | mikubuntu: If you get to a GUI then install the proprietary drivers with System > Administration > Hardware Drivers. If you can only get to a terminal, install them with "jockey-text" instead. | 20:38 |
| abhi_nav | joris_ you can contact your local computer expert or get professioal help from canonical for ubuntu etc | 20:38 |
| sabuntu | valen`: did you post or look on the forums? | 20:38 |
| dragontech | i was wondering if anyone can help with virtualbox issues | 20:38 |
| BluesKaj | !partitioning | bigleon | 20:39 |
| ubottu | bigleon: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap | 20:39 |
| valen` | no i hacen't sabuntu | 20:39 |
| valen` | haven't* | 20:39 |
| x0x | how to speed up internet connection ? | 20:39 |
| Jordan_U | mikubuntu: If you think that the computer has frozen, try if at all possible not to just "pull the plug". First press the power button and wait a few more minutes, then if that doesn't work use sysrq magic. | 20:39 |
| Jordan_U | !sysrq | mikubuntu | 20:39 |
| ubottu | mikubuntu: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 20:39 |
| guntbert | dragontech: if they are really virtualbox issues #vbox is better suited | 20:39 |
| sabuntu | valen`: then i would try that | 20:40 |
| crdlb | niccoli: 'sudo apt-get install pastebinit' then run: lsmod | pastebinit - | 20:40 |
| dragontech | i was wondering if anyone else can has had problems with virtualbox refuseing to load properly | 20:40 |
| crdlb | niccoli: that final - is important | 20:40 |
| abhi_nav | x0x, e.g. if you are accessing web site while donwloading sometihng then it slows down speed . do one thing at a time etc | 20:40 |
| dragontech | ok thanks | 20:40 |
| daeda1us | i'm guessing this SAMBA guide is a bit outdated... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 :P | 20:40 |

| bigleon | blueskaj just to confirm the partion edits will be made via installing from the live cd? | 20:41 |
| guntbert | !samba | daeda1us | 20:41 |
| ubottu | daeda1us: 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. | 20:41 |

| abhi_nav | joris_, hmm then find it. talk to canonical people if they can help. | 20:41 |
| abhi_nav | joris_, you live where? | 20:41 |
| Jordan_U | mikubuntu: And you never get past the Ubuntu logo with dots at the bottom, then edit the "recovery mode" option to add the "nomodeset" option, rather than normal entry. | 20:41 |
| ManDay | Balgan, the indicator applet (network, xchat, battery etc) is already there | 20:42 |
| bigleon | VanessaE did you manage to resolve your harddrive issue? | 20:42 |
| joris_ | abhi_nav: Belgium, Zottegem | 20:42 |

| Balgan | ManDay, u tried removing it | 20:43 |
| Balgan | and re-adding? | 20:43 |
| BluesKaj | bigleon, I prefer to use gparted to edit partions but the live cd can do it for you automatically if youwish, just make sure it installs kubuntu to a partion in free space only . | 20:43 |

| joris_ | abhi_nav: thanks! I'll try it! | 20:45 |

| crdlb | niccoli: and put in that file (which should be empty): blacklist i915 | 20:46 |
| BluesKaj | bigleon, you can't do do it from ubuntu | 20:46 |
| bigleon | manday rightclick your bar look through your widgets should find a volume widget, drag that to bar and you should be good to go. | 20:46 |
| cthrurecords | hello i installed a lot of wrong drivers kde xfce and nvidia when it was not the hardware. I'm on an xterm session now | 20:46 |
| bigleon | Ohh Okay Blueskaj... | 20:46 |
| niccoli | crdlb, my open arena should start now with this video card right? | 20:47 |
| mikubuntu | Jordan_U: i did alt prt screen reisub and it rebooted, but to same blank screen and 'no signal input' | 20:47 |
| bigleon | blueskaj also i got a 64 bit ssytem but i've seen suggestions that for better stability i should use a 32bit os... any opinion on that? | 20:47 |
| jepster | what should I install in my debian virtualbox-machine on my ubuntu-host, to allow copy and paste? the guest additions are installed. | 20:47 |

| ManDay | bigleon, if it was just that easy - no volume there. does anyone recall the package name for volume indicator? im afraid i removed it by accident | 20:47 |
| Jordan_U | mikubuntu: Reisub to reboot again, and hold shift to get to the grub menu. | 20:47 |
| hello_kitty | sabuntu, I pasted my error and the line of code, if that gives any hints: http://pastie.org/1014104 | 20:47 |

| black_knight | helloooooooooooo there :D well any body knw how to make my bluetooth work in ubuntu :D | 20:48 |
| niccoli | crdlb, ok, so I have to reboot first then? | 20:48 |
| BluesKaj | bigleon, I've run both 64bit and 32 , theonly advantage to 64 bit is it can use more memory above 4G which 32 bit isn't supposed to be able to | 20:48 |
| Jordan_U | mikubuntu: This time edit the "recovery mode" option (since you saw an Ubuntu logo I'm betting you edited the normal entry instead the first time) | 20:48 |
| bigleon | Manday Well then I'd try searching like "Volume Manager" or "sound preferences " in your apt search. | 20:48 |
| bigleon | blueskaj is there any disadvantages? | 20:49 |
| ManDay | ill just reinstall the whole system bigleon - sounds easier | 20:49 |
| ManDay | but thanks | 20:49 |
| crdlb | niccoli: yes | 20:49 |
| bigleon | Alright manday sorry i didn't have a better solution. | 20:49 |
| mikubuntu | Jordan_U: no, i'm pretty sure i editied the recovery, i highlited the second line and pressed e | 20:49 |
| ManDay | bigleon, thats ok - i planned on doing that anyway | 20:49 |
| ManDay | thanks | 20:49 |
| black_knight | bluetooth plz | 20:49 |
| BluesKaj | bigleon, in some cases 64bit plugins for media in some browsers used to be aproblem a while ago, but I haven't seen many complaints about that lately | 20:50 |
| Jordan_U | mikubuntu: Odd, you shouldn't have seen an Ubuntu logo then. | 20:50 |
| bigleon | Now one issue i remeber back in day blueskaj is that dual booting wasn't an easy thing to do when your dual booting Win and Linux because of bootloader etc... | 20:50 |
| whlspacedude | can anyone help me install thc-hydra in ubuntu 9.10? | 20:50 |
| Gwar | It's easy to do with mint, but I digress | 20:50 |

| mikubuntu | Jordan_U: second line is the recov mode line | 20:51 |
| BluesKaj | bigleon, only if you install windows after you installed ubuntu , windows wipes out the grub bootloader during the install, so we always recommend to install windows first ,so you're ok. | 20:51 |
| hello_kitty | sabuntu: I found the error | 20:52 |
| hello_kitty | sabuntu: the -c compile flag is only if its multiple files | 20:52 |

| Jordan_U | mikubuntu: Yes. | 20:55 |

| michael___ | got some troubles settings up secure smtp | 21:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | !webmin | michael___ | 21:01 |
| ubottu | michael___: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 21:01 |
| g00bm4n | hi | 21:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | matthew123, many of your settings are in your home folder in hidden . folder files - if you back these up many of your settings can be saved. good luck. | 21:02 |
| sabuntu | hello_kitty: im not really good with any type of programing except for some c and perl, so no. | 21:02 |
| michael___ | so you guys recommend ebox instead of webmin ? | 21:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | michael___, i'm not really a fan of ebox actually | 21:03 |

| Guest70556 | I have a question about HP wireless printers | 21:23 |
| mnaines | Interesting...Thanks to Google, I discovered that log-structured file systems (journaling file systems) are actually superior to TRIM for SSDs and are actually designed for flash-based media | 21:23 |

| Cheery | IdleOne: just try undermine community effort there. | 21:24 |
| Cheery | you succeed. | 21:24 |
| Jordan_U | mnaines: That's incorrect, log-structured filesystems do not remove the need for TRIM | 21:24 |
| IdleOne | Cheery: it isn't exactly offtopic but it is distracting from support. | 21:24 |
| khamer | Whenever I reboot, all nameservers are removed from my /etc/resolv.conf file, and DNS fails until I manually fix it. Any ideas? I'm using resolvconf | 21:24 |

| khamer | Whenever I reboot, all nameservers are removed from my /etc/resolv.conf file, and DNS fails until I manually fix it. Any ideas? I'm using resolvconf, and have a valid configuration in /etc/network/interfaces | 21:26 |
| Jordan_U | mikubuntu: I unfortunately need to leave in about 10 minutes. I think that your situation is recoverable, but since this isn't your machine (and therefore I'm gessing needs to be up and running soon), your best be may be to just install 9.10 instead. | 21:27 |
| mnaines | Jordan_U, from what I read, current journaling file systems operate in a way that TRIM cannot and current TRIM firmware takes hundreds of milliseconds to process each TRIM command | 21:27 |
| Guest70556 | Question: has anyone had success with the HP 6500 Wireless printer driver issue or information on a fix? | 21:27 |
| mikubuntu | Jordan_U: and then upgrade? | 21:27 |
| Jordan_U | mikubuntu: You can try it. If you upgrade *after* installing the nvidea drivers it may actually work. | 21:28 |
| mikubuntu | Jordan_U: would it make a diff if i tried with the livecd? 1004? | 21:29 |
| mnaines | Basically the difference between the two, and why JFS work on flash drives better, is JFS tries to keep everything arranged so that all sectors are either very full or very empty by erasing partially-used sectors as data is written to the drive, whereas TRIM cannot see that the sectors are erased beforehand | 21:29 |

Running grub-install /dev/sda reports no error, and /boot/grub/grub.cfg has the right menu for windows (I can paste it somewhere if that would help). However when the bootloader is up, when windows is selected a blank window opens with only the cursor blinking and it's proceeds no further. Any ideas on what | 21:53 |

| celeritas | carew, its a standard 3 pin. sounds like your card has no connector but does support the wol event, which means it is communicating strictly over pci. if you mb is not supporting that connection, you can either get a mb that does, or a network card with the jwol connector to the mb | 22:31 |

| unop | Poizon, you're stuck there .. if you want private homedirs, you need to use the User Private Group ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_permissions#User_private_group ) -- but exposing a directory to apache would still require you give 'other' read permissions on the homedir -- you're pretty stuck there. | 22:35 |
| Poizon | unop yeah thats the problem | 22:35 |
| Poizon | unop and making www-data owner also of the www folder? | 22:36 |
| unop | Poizon, which www folder? | 22:36 |
| Poizon | unop the one that is expected to work with userdir | 22:36 |
| unop | Poizon, you might like to try ACLs instead of regular unix permissions here then. | 22:37 |
| celeritas | carew, the connector is a standard so look for jwol1 pinout | 22:37 |
| Poizon | unop: this 2 folders /home/user/public_html and /home/user/cgi-bin are expected to be read from apache | 22:37 |

| carew | celeritas: the mb has it, i can swap the card with a 3com one that has the connector | 22:37 |
| carew | now only the cable :p | 22:37 |
| unop | Poizon, right, so give read access via ACLs to www-data on /home/user and /home/user/{public_html,cgi-bin} | 22:37 |
| Poizon | unop, there's any guide for that in ubuntu wiki ? | 22:38 |
| hello_kitty | I'm getting a permission denied on a lock file, after making everything in /var/www/ owned by www-data, the command receiving the error is: sudo -u www-data sh /var/www/fitumi/ && svn update Perhaps my ownership is fine by the actual read/write is wrong....? | 22:38 |

| karma_police | i have nvidia restricted drivers tho.. problem only started when i messed around with startup manager settings | 22:42 |
| iguest | I'd say change them to other values, exit, then go back in and change them again to 640x480 and 8-bits. | 22:42 |

| rww | clotptzi: don't advertise in here, please | 23:20 |
| mcsmurf | actually iirc I installed some meta package on top of Ubuntu 9.10; I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 for sure | 23:20 |
| Riddell | mcsmurf: PPA backports and updates are only kept for one release, so there's nothing there for karmic now | 23:21 |
| mcsmurf | doh! | 23:21 |
| mcsmurf | I see | 23:21 |
| rww | mcsmurf: and for future reference, the usual way of doing PPAs in >= Karmic is sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name | 23:21 |
| mcsmurf | but when I go to http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/ppa/ubuntu/dists/, I see a karmic folder there? | 23:21 |
| mcsmurf | or does this not mean anything? | 23:21 |
| mcsmurf | rww: heh, actually I did try this first, but then the keyserver was down | 23:22 |
| Riddell | mcsmurf: https://edge.launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ppa/+packages?start=50&batch=50 all lucid | 23:22 |
| rww | mcsmurf: oh, okay | 23:22 |

| plazia | what command forces ubuntu to update the printers? I am plugging in the USB printer and I'm executing "watch -n 1 -d lsusb" and the device is showing in there but not in ubuntu printers. | 23:23 |
| Olay | laurence_, sill there or got disconnected. | 23:23 |
| willwork4foo | plazia, tried manually adding it? | 23:23 |
| mcsmurf | heh http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/ppa/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-amd64/ | 23:23 |
| mcsmurf | sorry, nevermind, wrong channel | 23:24 |
| plazia | willwork4foo, no haven't yet but I'll give it a go. | 23:24 |
| aggrav8d | hi, ubuntu! | 23:24 |
| Haz | Which would be the better option for downloading a program (such as Skype, Adobe Flash, etc.): downloading the supplied .deb off of the website, or getting it from the apt repos.? I take it using apt is better because it allows easier updating? that's my presumption anyway | 23:25 |
| plazia | willwork4foo, all the add options are grayed out. | 23:25 |
| aggrav8d | suppose i want to make a linux distro that takes ubuntu and adds a program or two on the disc. How would I do that? | 23:25 |

| IncrStorm | Anyone with thoughts on muddleftpd? | 23:26 |
| willwork4foo | np - we all have oddnesses like that | 23:26 |
| IncrStorm | I can't find documentation | 23:26 |
| willwork4foo | IncrStorm, I've got two thoughts... 1: why do we need ANOTHER FTP server, and 2: that's a silly name | 23:27 |
| willwork4foo | what was wrong with vsftpd or proftpd | 23:27 |
| IncrStorm | LOL, I'm running Xubuntu, and believe me, I didn't steer myself there. | 23:28 |
| willwork4foo | haha | 23:28 |
| willwork4foo | ok | 23:28 |
| willwork4foo | fair enough! | 23:28 |
| IncrStorm | It was begging for it when I tried to do ftpd | 23:28 |
| willwork4foo | btw - the more I use the Ubuntu Netbook Remix's desktop interface, the more I think it's a perfect layout for a system this size. It's kinda smartphone-style thinking, but with full OS capabilities and benefits. I am pleased! :) | 23:29 |
| willwork4foo | like that, was it IncrStorm | 23:29 |
| willwork4foo | shocking | 23:29 |
| frank82vt | in windows i can restore the system | 23:29 |
| frank82vt | how can i do the same in linux_ | 23:30 |
| IncrStorm | I don't know, should it be shocking? | 23:30 |
| mcsmurf | just fyi: I found the Kubuntu karmic updates I wanted, those are now in the Ubuntu Backports repository | 23:31 |
| idul | i have the little kerneloops client sitting in my tray, while its nice having tux hang around and all, id like him to leave. i dont have the window that contains the tooltip so i would like to submit the diagnostic data manually somehow and then reinstall or repair the kernel | 23:31 |
| purpzey | Can someone help me out? It seems that I can't get onto any websites. I am connected to IRC via the same machine, but I can't get any web open at all. | 23:34 |

| cavej03 | Olay, Id rather the headache as the software deserves it | 23:38 |

| purpzey | Can someone help me out, File Browser says I have 0 bytes of free memory, but I just deleted easily 5 gb. I rebooted to no avail, still says zero, any ideas? | 23:57 |
| Wings | purpzey: Did you delete it from the partition you installed on? | 23:58 |
| Wings | or /media/ or /mnt/something? | 23:58 |
| purpzey | Wings: No I deleted directly from /home/me | 23:58 |
| Vampire0 | purpzey, you could do "df -h" in a shell to see the disk usage of all disks, even the mounted ones | 23:58 |
| shoopdawoop | purpzey: what does 'df -h' say? | 23:58 |
| Vampire0 | Maybe Nautilus is just misreporting | 23:58 |
| purpzey | Vampire0: shoopdawoop: /dev/sd7a1 Size: 88G Used: 86G Avail: 0 | 23:59 |
