| mneptok | juggalo483: or remotely? | 00:09 |
| georgij | laperr what? | 00:09 |
| codebrainz | juggalo483, there's an installable file system driver ext2ifs i think it's called, but I never had much luck with ext4 filesystem | 00:09 |
| georgij | wildbat I get file not found | 00:09 |
| juggalo483 | i just want my windows laptop to read files/folders on ubuntu | 00:09 |
| wildbat | georgij, shouldn't you use update-grub after the setup ? it should set up grub.cfg already? | 00:09 |
| georgij | wildbat plus there is nothing except the grub folder inside /boot | 00:10 |
| juggalo483 | over the network | 00:10 |
| mneptok | juggalo483: SSH is probably the esiest way | 00:10 |
| mneptok | *easiest | 00:10 |
| georgij | wildbat what should I do? Iam in kind of a panic state :( | 00:10 |
| mneptok | juggalo483: on Ubuntu, "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" | 00:10 |
| bastid_raZor | juggalo483: winscp and/or putty for windows client | 00:10 |
| mneptok | juggalo483: on Windows, install Filezilla or some other app that supports SFTP | 00:11 |
| codebrainz | mneptok, why not cifs? | 00:11 |
| juggalo483 | i cant just open file sharing i have to install FTP? | 00:11 |
| mneptok | codebrainz: because it's 100x more painful to set up. | 00:11 |

| aliendude3500 | Hey guys, I'm a long time Ubuntu user, and a software developer who needs a bit of help helping a friend move their wubi Ubuntu Lucid Lynx installation to a dedicated partition. I have VNC and SSH access to their system. I tried the steps at http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html to no avail. | 00:15 |
| wildbat | georgij, we don't have boot_ ~ | 00:15 |
| georgij | wildbat ok I am using archlinux but I got banned from both linux and archlinux | 00:15 |
| aliendude3500 | I couldn't get the partitionmanager package to install, and I couldn't find a newer version in the repositories. Any ideas? | 00:16 |
| pooky | mneptok: that would be good if it could auth my google app accounts. It only works for my standard gmail though. | 00:16 |
| bazhang | georgij, that is not supported here | 00:16 |
| georgij | wildbat where is ur vmlinuz located? | 00:16 |
| bazhang | georgij, being banned elsewhere has nothing to do with Ubuntu | 00:16 |
| aliendude3500 | Unfortunately, I only have less than a gig to work with, as they maxed out their Ubuntu partition before asking me to help them resize their Windows partition and move Ubuntu to a new dedicated partition. | 00:16 |
| georgij | shouldnt linux place it somewhere in / then put it in /boot | 00:17 |
| rod1 | anyone know how to fix "Unknown monitor"? it says CRT even though this is an LCD | 00:17 |
| georgij | Yes it does more users in here and better support since people are more likely to answer | 00:17 |
| aliendude3500 | The dedicated partition does not exist yet. I need to help them install partitionmanager to create that first. | 00:17 |
| bazhang | georgij, no | 00:17 |
| juggalo483 | bastid_razor: i think yo mis understand me i looking to just view network folders/files like in windows when i click on network all my systems show up | 00:17 |
| mneptok | georgij: please stop. you're asking about Arch in #ubuntu. it will not be long before you are banned here, as well. | 00:17 |
| georgij | Bazhang yes | 00:17 |
| pooky | mneptok: thanks for trying though. | 00:17 |
| aliendude3500 | Unfortunately, I can't resize the Windows partition while in Ubuntu because of the fact it's mounted as the wubi host partition. | 00:18 |
| codebrainz | juggalo483, enable file sharing on windows, share folder, and then in Ubuntu use "Connect to server" under the places menu. probably the easiest way | 00:18 |
| aliendude3500 | Can anyone help me with this? I've been desperately trying to install the partition manager software in GRUB for the last hour... | 00:18 |
| mneptok | pooky: http://groups.google.com/group/hosted-the-basics/browse_thread/thread/940c68ba6ecdf29a/5e5ead64d1fb160e?pli=1 | 00:18 |
| rod1 | anyone know how to fix "Unknown monitor"? it says CRT even though this is an LCD | 00:18 |
| codebrainz | aliendude3500, can you dd the wubi install? | 00:19 |
| juggalo483 | codebrainz: what about the other way around | 00:19 |
| WebDawg | how do I take somthing off the autoremove list? | 00:19 |
| codebrainz | juggalo483, not too much harder, assuming ubuntu has a gui for this (i think it does), otherwise it's a bit of pita | 00:19 |
| aliendude3500 | I have access to the file, but I shouldn't attempt to dd it while it's mounted. Right now I'm connected via ssh and vnc to the wubi installation. | 00:19 |
| aliendude3500 | I've been trying to use this method to transfer the data: http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html | 00:20 |
| wildbat | aliendude3500, live CD? | 00:20 |
| Andros`Dareion | list | 00:21 |
| codebrainz | aliendude3500, you could rsync the wubi install to another machine and then rsync it back after tweaking the partition table? | 00:21 |
| Andros`Dareion | cuanta gente | 00:21 |
| aliendude3500 | wildbat: I'm on my working Ubuntu installation, sshing into the target wubi installation across the internet. We're not even in the same state :/ | 00:21 |
| pooky | mneptok: yes, I'd seen that thread. I'm pretty sure I searched a bit before coming here, was hoping someone had something they were using without issue. the checkgmail issues cropped up due to changes in the google apps api | 00:21 |
| SlidingHorn | !es | Andros`Dareion | 00:21 |
| ubottu | Andros`Dareion: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 00:21 |
| aliendude3500 | codebrainz: Unfortunately, the wubi install is mounted. is moving the files while inside the installation really a good idea? | 00:22 |
| wildbat | aliendude3500, you can do copy inside of moving | 00:23 |
| Andros`Dareion | SlidingHorn, gracias/thanks you | 00:23 |
| aliendude3500 | I'm on a different machine right now, with a 1.5TB hard disk. Storing their stuff isn't a problem at all, I'm more worried about corrupting the data. | 00:23 |
| SlidingHorn | Andros`Dareion, de nada | 00:23 |
| Andros`Dareion | SlidingHorn, hablas español vos'? | 00:23 |
| codebrainz | aliendude3500, rsync will copy the fs from theirs to yours, then you transfer back to a partition later. only issues would be pseudo filesystems like /dev and such, which you can fixup afterwards | 00:24 |
| wildbat | a/inside/instead | 00:24 |
| SlidingHorn | Andros`Dareion, I only know enough to order a beer and say "¿dónde está el baño? mi gato está en fuego" | 00:24 |
| codebrainz | aliendude3500, of course the remote thing makes everything a lot more of a pain | 00:24 |
| vyrgozunqk | guys help me please, i've deleted by mistake /etc/init.d/mtab.sh & /etc/init.d/udev is there any way to restore them ?! | 00:24 |
| SlidingHorn | !undelete | vyrgozunqk | 00:24 |
| ubottu | vyrgozunqk: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 00:25 |
| codebrainz | SlidingHorn, your cat is on fire? | 00:25 |
| SlidingHorn | lol yep! | 00:25 |
| aliendude3500 | The problem is, the wubi installation is within their windows installation. I don't feel like moving all 360GB. Just the 30 from wubi. And I don't think it will let me transfer the wubi partition while I'm in it. | 00:25 |
| codebrainz | aliendude3500, this is exactly what rsync does | 00:25 |
| wildbat | aliendude3500, or can't your friend boot a live CD and set a passwd and setup sshd? just two command be4 you can ssh over his liveCD | 00:26 |
| aliendude3500 | how do I go about doing that? I'm in their system with SSH as root right now. | 00:26 |
| vyrgozunqk | SlidingHorn: i can't use any of these tools | 00:26 |
| vyrgozunqk | i'm in recovery mode | 00:26 |

| vyrgozunqk | can someone please upload those files for me somewhere so i can download them with wget ? | 00:27 |
| razz1 | nvidia config, when I set it to separate x screen, I cannot move mouse from one screen to the other? why | 00:27 |
| codebrainz | aliendude3500, check the rsync manpage, something like 'rsync -ar -e ssh user@hostname:/ /home/you/backupdir' | 00:27 |
| codebrainz | aliendude3500, check the manpage first though, those options probably aren't 100% | 00:27 |
| campee | i have ubuntu 10.04 and the network manager icon is missing at the top of the screen. i tried running NetworkManager from a command prompt but it said that it is already running. i also tried running "metacity --replace" which I found on google and that doesn't help either. any ideas? | 00:27 |
| aliendude3500 | do I type the rsync command while in ssh, or do I do that from my account on my system? | 00:28 |
| aliendude3500 | I'm assuming the latter? | 00:28 |
| SlidingHorn | vyrgozunqk, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery#Foremost | 00:28 |
| codebrainz | aliendude3500, you can go either way, the former means you need a ssh on your local box | 00:28 |
| codebrainz | aliendude3500, *ssh server that is | 00:28 |
| vyrgozunqk | SlidingHorn: i can't read those post i don't have any GUY, i can't load the system normal ! | 00:29 |
| vyrgozunqk | so i need those two files to load the system | 00:29 |
| aliendude3500 | codebrainz: now will this only backup their home folder, or their whole linux filesystem? | 00:29 |
| vyrgozunqk | plus i probably can't recover the files 'cause i've already have written some files to the HDD | 00:29 |
| campee | i also get "nm-applet" is already running when i try to run that as well | 00:29 |
| codebrainz | aliendude3500, however you want, rsync is (in a sense) a super smart cp | 00:30 |

| SlidingHorn | vyrgozunqk, you can use lynx to view the links? basically it says to install foremost and how to use it | 00:31 |
| codebrainz | razz1, like two monitors? | 00:31 |

| vyrgozunqk | what about /etc/init.d/udev ? | 00:32 |
| aliendude3500 | codebrainz: Okay, that's copying right now... | 00:32 |
| razz1 | code, I am using twinview as well, but it's treating the whole area as one screen, I just want two separate screens, I tried separate x screens, but mouse gets stuck in one screen, how to move it between two screens? | 00:33 |
| campee | i have ubuntu 10.04 and the network manager icon is missing at the top of the screen. i tried running NetworkManager from a command prompt but it said that it is already running. i also tried running "metacity --replace" which I found on google and that doesn't help either. i try running nm-applet manually from the command line and it says that the applet is already running as well. any ideas? | 00:33 |
| Notepad | SlidingHorn: :D | 00:34 |
| Guest86978 | campee, yeah | 00:34 |
| codebrainz | razz1, so what do want then? | 00:34 |
| aliendude3500 | codebrainz: is there anyway to exclude a folder from rsync, for example "/host", which contains their entire windows partition? | 00:34 |
| Guest86978 | campee, try and close the applets | 00:35 |
| codebrainz | aliendude3500, yep, see the manpage, all the options are in there (man rsync) | 00:35 |
| razz1 | code, just want to know how to move the mouse between two x screens in separate x screen mode | 00:35 |
| SlidingHorn | campee: ps aux | grep "nm-applet" (find the process id --- kill that process then open it via command line again) | 00:35 |
| codebrainz | aliendude3500, it think it's --exclude | 00:35 |
| wildbat | vyrgozunqk, http://wildbat.my3park.net/udev | 00:35 |
| pepon3rd | #php | 00:36 |
| vyrgozunqk | wildbat: tnx a lot | 00:36 |
| pepon3rd | isn't a channel | 00:36 |
| codebrainz | razz1, if you have two X screens running, you will need something like synergy i suspect. what's wrong with twinview? | 00:36 |
| campee | SlidingHorn: i figured it out. i had to re-add the noficiation area. | 00:36 |
| wildbat | pepon3rd, ##php may be? | 00:36 |
| campee | notification* | 00:36 |
| SlidingHorn | ah, good on you! | 00:36 |
| codebrainz | razz1, wait, my mouse moved between screens i think, but windows would move between them | 00:37 |

| codebrainz | razz1, maybe it's the application(s) you're using? what is it? | 00:38 |
| razz1 | code, there has to be a way to move the mouse, otherwise what's the use of such a setup. it does not happen always, it happens with empathy | 00:38 |
| lordppm_ | G-man, you can find in ubuntu application center | 00:39 |

| razz1 | so even you cannot move the mouse pointer in separate x screen mode? | 00:39 |

| Guest86978 | ok install it again | 00:50 |
| razz1 | code, with bluetooth, it used to work now it doesn't, I have dualboot with vista, I read in the wiki that if I disable bluetooth in windows, it will not work in ubuntu, i that right? | 00:51 |
| clcto | if i have two files, say name.ex1 and name.ex2 is there an easy way to rename them to name2.ex1 and name2.ex2. like a single command | 00:51 |

| johnofwax | all other hostnames work fine except for my ubuntu box for some reason. started yesterday when I restarted.. | 01:04 |
| jteknet | on top of not having the partition tool working, how come I can't demo a live version of Ubuntu? I just checked the boot options and I can't "try before installing" like I've always been able to do before 10.04... | 01:04 |
| johnofwax | Ok. my 10.04 hostname is "server". server can ping server, and DD-WRT can ping server. | 01:04 |
| johnofwax | my windows 7, XP, and xbox cannot ping server | 01:04 |
| johnofwax | they have to access shares via the IP address, starting yesterday | 01:04 |
| johnofwax | the router has not been updated or changed in any way | 01:04 |
| clcto | johnofwax: less \n | 01:04 |
| codebrainz | jteknet, the first option on the live cd boot menu, and apt-get install gparted if it's not installed by default on the live cd | 01:05 |
| Aut0Exec | johnofwax: u have dnsmasq on ... on ur dd-wrt router? | 01:05 |
| rolandpish | Hi, I successfully connected to an openvpn server. How can I get my local ip(vpn) address? | 01:05 |
| johnofwax | yes I do | 01:05 |
| Aut0Exec | sounds like dns issues to me bro | 01:05 |
| jteknet | codebrainz: Could it be because I have the 64-bit AMD version disc? | 01:05 |
| HexLaTor | rolandpish, does the tun adapter apeared ? | 01:05 |
| clcto | johnofwax: install a packet sniffere | 01:05 |
| johnofwax | Thats what I thought too, as the router-being-able-to-see-name was just discovered about 5 minutes ago. | 01:05 |
| codebrainz | jteknet, if you have a 64-bit cpu, doubtful | 01:05 |
| Lascivus | ifconfig should show a tunnel interface | 01:06 |
| jteknet | codebrainz: Yeah, I have a Phenom II QuadCore | 01:06 |
| Aut0Exec | johnofwax: do what clcto suggested and use umm.... tcpdump to see whats going on | 01:06 |
| rolandpish | HexLaTor: no, if I execute ifconfig -a only lo and eth0 appears. I successfully connected because I can ping the 10.8.0.1 | 01:06 |
| jteknet | I've had this working before. I ran upgrade and then I shutdown and tried to start again and xwindows wouldn't come up. | 01:06 |
| jteknet | So now I'm just doing it the pansy way and trying to reinstall. | 01:06 |
| HexLaTor | rolandpish, it should appear first | 01:06 |
| codebrainz | jteknet, yeah, the just press enter twice when the cd starts to boot | 01:06 |
| coty91 | #severedfifth | 01:07 |
| HexLaTor | rolandpish, try to enter to /etc/openvpn and type: openvpn server.conf | 01:07 |
| codebrainz | jteknet, i forget the wording, enter to English and then Enter on the first boot menu item | 01:07 |
| jteknet | codebrainz: My only options are "Install Ubuntu" "Check disc for defects" "Test Memory" etc. I don't have a "live cd" option | 01:07 |
| anthon | how do you use the tcpdump command? | 01:07 |
| codebrainz | jteknet, did you download the "alternate" cd or "server" cd? | 01:07 |
| Aut0Exec | anthon: tcpdump -v | 01:07 |
| rolandpish | HexLaTor: the openvpn server is in Windows, and I connected from my ubuntu box | 01:08 |
| jteknet | codebrainz: That, I'm not sure of. It's been weeks. I have a 10mb connection so if I need to download another, I can. Which one is the "right" one? | 01:08 |
| anthon | thanks | 01:08 |
| rolandpish | HexLaTor, I can use the server without problems, but I would like to know my ip address assigned from openvpn | 01:08 |
| HexLaTor | rolandpish, hmmm never tried it on windows, but an adapter should appear in ur network | 01:08 |
| jteknet | codebrainz: When I go to Ubuntu.com and click download on the 64-bit version I get the iso called "ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso" Is this the one I need? | 01:09 |
| johnofwax | so "server" knows it's server, "DD-WRT" knows "server" is "server", but no other computers connected to DD-WRT know "server" is "server". it has got to be an issue on the DD-WRT at this point, correct? | 01:09 |
| codebrainz | jteknet, http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/ubuntu-releases/10.04/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso | 01:09 |
| rolandpish | HexLaTor, that's weird, because I'm connected but the tun interface on my ubuntu box doesn't appear. | 01:09 |

| LjL | jteknet: most likely | 01:09 |

| johnofwax | the only issue is in resolving server to it's IP address. | 01:10 |
| HexLaTor | rolandpish, it'll appear on ur windows box, coz ur server 's on windows, ... | 01:10 |
| pondera | hey what version of ubuntu do you guys suggest for a macbook generation 3.1 ? | 01:10 |

| johnofwax | hehe. I've only done that 3 times before I decided maybe I should ask | 01:11 |
| Aut0Exec | oh | 01:11 |
| johnofwax | I've also added server/ip to the routers /etc/hosts file, also added it in the dnsmasq "additional options" area. | 01:11 |

| HexLaTor | rolandpish, some TAP win32 V8 adapter...don't remember.. | 01:12 |
| pondera | clcto sorry 2007 ish | 01:12 |
| johnofwax | and its not like I changed anything regarding my network connection. I had a little mishap with grub last night after deleting a few partitions, but I fixed that up relatively easily. Thought everything would be fine | 01:12 |
| codebrainz | pondera, use 10.04 version, should be fine (clcto it's a dual core with 4GB ram apparently)) | 01:13 |
| clcto | pondera: the newest one should be fine | 01:13 |
| clcto | 10.04 | 01:13 |
| rolandpish | HexLaTor, ok, I'll check it right away... | 01:13 |
| johnofwax | but my computer doesnt get turned off very often since its the media server of the house, and there were a few other things that went kind of hay-wire when i restarted yesterday. Hostname resolution being one of them | 01:13 |
| EtherNet | helo everyone | 01:13 |
| pondera | codebrainz dual core yes but its 1gb ram :( | 01:13 |
| codebrainz | pondera, still should be fine | 01:13 |
| Aut0Exec | johnofwax: i dunno what else to tell u bro.... strange one | 01:13 |

| HexLaTor | rolandpish, try to use wireshark to make sure that ur packets are going trough the tunnel .. | 01:14 |
| codebrainz | pondera, there's also xubuntu, something to think about | 01:14 |

| johnofwax | yes | 01:15 |
| Aut0Exec | ok | 01:15 |
| codebrainz | pondera, ubuntu but with XFCE installed instead of Gnome, and a few different apps, it's lighter on system resources | 01:15 |
| clcto | codebrainz: marginally | 01:15 |
| Aut0Exec | johnofwax: backup ur settings first | 01:15 |
| pondera | clcto ok ill look in to xubuntu im guessing its a "laptop" version | 01:15 |
| johnofwax | yeah | 01:15 |
| Aut0Exec | johnofwax: u can alway restore if it doesnt work | 01:15 |
| johnofwax | right | 01:16 |
| codebrainz | clcto, it's pretty light with just xfce4, i can't comment on xubuntu | 01:16 |
| clcto | pondera: not any more so than ubuntu. | 01:16 |
| johnofwax | should've done that w/ the pc | 01:16 |
| pondera | codebrainz thats sounds good light is better, i just want to be able to do the same things i can do with ubuntu | 01:16 |
| johnofwax | thanks again | 01:17 |
| clcto | after you install the base system you can get whichever *buntu system you want with one command | 01:17 |
| Aut0Exec | no prob | 01:17 |
| codebrainz | pondera, you should be ok with normal ubuntu. there are lots of ways to lighten them both up, but it takes some know-how (googling) | 01:17 |
| pondera | clcto what do u mean by base system ? | 01:18 |
| clcto | any *buntu system | 01:18 |
| codebrainz | clcto, i usually install "cli system" from the "alternate" cd and then apt-get xfce4 and xorg and some other useful stuff, but it can be more of a pain than using default ubuntu install | 01:19 |
| rolandpish | HexLaTor, ok I'll do some extra checking because the TAP Win32 adapter shows the icon like "cable-disconnected" but I'm connected to it. | 01:19 |
| pondera | oh so i could try xubuntu with out undoing wha ive done already ? | 01:20 |
| codebrainz | clcto, sorry, meant that for pondera | 01:20 |
| hydester | hi. i have been toying with Xen for a little bit (about 6 months) on Debian and CentOS. it is such a struggle to get it working on recent Ubuntu releases. from what i have read, KVM seems to be what the Linux community has embraced. i liked the paravirtualization feature in Xen, but if KVM is natively support by Lucid then i'll probably try moving to that. any comments on KVM support and/or paravirtualization? | 01:20 |
| codebrainz | pondera, apt-get install xubuntu-desktop i believe | 01:20 |
| pondera | ok ill try now | 01:20 |
| HexLaTor | rolandpish, OK, good luck with that ;) | 01:21 |
| rolandpish | HexLaTor, thanks for your valuable help! | 01:21 |
| clcto | codebrainz: that is a good way to do it if you know what you are doing. i did that but then moved to arch :) | 01:21 |

| jteknet | demonspork: you do much virtualization, or any? | 01:32 |
| Razernok | Why am I unable to login to mysql server remotely? | 01:32 |
| jteknet | I have a question, but it'd have to be someone who has played around with KVM / virtbox / vmware / etc. | 01:32 |
| dominicdinada | Razernok: Did you allow yourself to do so | 01:33 |
| Razernok | huh? | 01:33 |
| dominicdinada | Root logins only allow localhost logins by default | 01:33 |
| dominicdinada | to the mysql db | 01:33 |
| Razernok | it is root login | 01:33 |
| centr0 | whats the package to play mpeg layer 1 / divx/xvid? | 01:33 |
| Razernok | root is the only login | 01:33 |
| jteknet | Razernok: You have to modify the config file to allow access from something other than localhost | 01:33 |
| jteknet | It has nothing to do with accounts | 01:33 |

| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 01:35 |

| dominicdinada | Razernok: Another person said you could Haxor it to allow remote logins as "Root" or you could Add another user and specify the IP they are allowed from | 01:37 |
| Razernok | haxor? huh? | 01:37 |
| Razernok | dunno what you mean | 01:37 |
| EtherNet | let's go again, I've bought a new hard drive (1.5 Western Digital Green Caviar) which is no 512 sector instead 2048, so in order to get performance partitions must be aligned to multiple of 8 regarding sectors, by default gparted created it in sector 63 as usual and old hard drives required. Now I have to move it to sector 64, or a multiple like 2048, I can't find such option in gparted to specify sectors but megabytes | 01:37 |
| jteknet | I don't understand why when I'm trying to install Ubuntu the partitioning step is being stupid. It's not showing me any devices; however, if I go into disk utility, it shows the terrabyte hard drive just fine. If I'm going to have to manually partition this... I'm going to need help?!?! | 01:37 |
| wrr_ | how to let the lampp work | 01:38 |
| dominicdinada | Razernok: haxor = Edit the root settings to allow root login via remote access. But that defeats the purpose of running a secure box | 01:38 |
| Razernok | so what do I do? | 01:38 |
| dominicdinada | Razernok: FOR the 3rd TIME, ADD ANOTHER USER AND ALLOW REMOTE logins | 01:39 |

| dominicdinada | !mysql | Razernok | 01:39 |
| ubottu | Razernok: 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+) | 01:39 |

| bazhang | Razernok, have a read of those links, for one | 01:41 |
| kesroesweyth | jteknet > just a thought, have you tried booting to the cd and running it as a live cd, then running gparted? the os itself should see the drive, so gparted should see it as well by that logic | 01:41 |

| dominicdinada | !mysqld | Razernok | 01:41 |

| pondera | wesley that im not sure about | 01:42 |
| jteknet | kesroesweyth: gparted does, in fact, see it. The problem is the installer isn't seeing it to auto-partition it for the swap space and all that jazz that I don't know how to do, nor do I know what size to make it. | 01:42 |
| rigo | if i have Xubuntu10.04x64 installed on /dev/sda1 and now id like to install Windows7x64 on /dev/sdb1/ by doing this will i be able to boot into sda1 by setting boot disk priority in BIOS? Or will it erase the MBR and Grub2 on sda1? | 01:42 |

| Spreadsheet_ | This is probably not the right place to ask, but | 01:49 |
| iceroot | !sudo | marcelo | 01:49 |
| ubottu | marcelo: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 01:49 |

| phong_ | iceroot, is there limitation for free mysql? | 02:08 |
| dominicdinada | phong_: as a suggestion in a secure enviroment you should only allow a user as much access as needed... not just blindly allow everything :D but thats another story :D | 02:08 |
| phong_ | hahaha dominicdinada | 02:09 |
| |littlebear| | phong_: yes, your hardware limitation | 02:09 |
| phong_ | i meant in term of database size | 02:09 |

| phong_ | i know ms sql server limit to 4gb for express edition | 02:09 |

| iceroot | phong_: no there is no such limit | 02:09 |
| phong_ | sure? | 02:09 |
| dominicdinada | importing ? tables is limited though | 02:09 |
| dominicdinada | i think the max import table size is 2mb | 02:10 |
| iceroot | Razernok: because people dont hear what other are saying | 02:10 |
| phong_ | Microsoft SQL Express has limitation to only 4GB | 02:10 |
| dominicdinada | phong_: that is alot of data | 02:10 |
| phong_ | i know | 02:10 |
| Razernok | i did what you said and it didn't work. still unable to connect | 02:10 |
| phong_ | but will mysql has limit? | 02:10 |
| iceroot | phong_: we have mysql runnning with 70GB data as a gis-like system | 02:10 |
| dominicdinada | secondly microsoft is not freeware and in a production enviroment.... you actually should pay for mysql | 02:10 |

| hellothere | hi guys. so i fired up gparted in ubuntu 10.04 and i wanted to create an hfs partition . the option is there but it is greyed out. any idea what packages i need to install in order to be able to create hfs partitions? thanks | 02:28 |
| airtonix | hellothere, apt-cache search hfs | 02:28 |
| roosh | there was a folder in c:/hp | 02:28 |
| Whitor | Babalabon, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-sun-looking-glass-desktop-environment-in-ubuntu.html | 02:28 |
| hellothere | airtonix, im sorry, what? whats apt-cache | 02:28 |
| roosh | that contained netr.inf and netr.sys | 02:28 |
| airtonix | roosh, so you just pointed gtk-ndis at the folder containing the <blah>.inf file ? | 02:28 |
| Dr_Willis | hellothere: theres proberly some 'hfstools' or siimilary named packages - IF its even possible. hfs support is not complete in linux | 02:28 |
| roosh | i actually copied the folder to my desktop | 02:29 |
| airtonix | hellothere, a method of searching package repository | 02:29 |
| roosh | then I pointed ndis there | 02:29 |
| Dr_Willis | hellothere: hfsutils - Tools for reading and writing Macintosh volumes | 02:29 |
| Whitor | So... how can I manually specify a framebuffer resolution for my console ? | 02:29 |
| Dr_Willis | hellothere: hfsplus - Tools to access HFS+ formatted volumes | 02:29 |
| airtonix | roosh, you need more than the inf file. (inf file is just a text file a manifest file that describes other files required ) | 02:29 |
| mijk | I've set up auto login with Karmic but one of my startup apps isn't starting up | 02:29 |

| airtonix | roosh, did you try pointing ndis-gtk at the file where it lives on your windows partition ? | 02:31 |
| roosh | ill try that | 02:31 |
| airtonix | roosh, (instead of trying to copy the files to your desktop location ) | 02:31 |
| Dr_Willis | myrk: use a different text editor. i think 'vi' can handle that situation | 02:31 |
| myrk | ok | 02:31 |
| iceroot | myrk: you need to edit that file? than maybe use sed, if you want to look on that file use less | 02:32 |
| mijk | so why wouldn't an app load on startup when it does when I log in manually? | 02:32 |

| myrk | ok | 02:33 |
| iceroot | cba123: sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get clean will do the job normally | 02:33 |
| iceroot | myrk: if you dont need to edit that file, use less | 02:33 |
| soreau | jrbaker8: Did you do the cd integrity test to make sure all files are ok? | 02:33 |

| iceroot | cba123: sudo du -sh / to see where the big files are | 02:34 |
| jrbaker8 | ok | 02:34 |
| Whitor | All of the resolutions in startup-manager are 4:3 ... my display is 16:10 what can I do? | 02:35 |
| soreau | Whitor: startup manager? | 02:35 |
| arand | iceroot: /* you mean right? | 02:35 |
| Whitor | soreau, yeah | 02:35 |
| iceroot | arand: that is checking everything, / is oonly checking the first folders | 02:35 |
| soreau | Whitor: I see no application by that name here | 02:35 |
| Whitor | soreau, startupmanager | 02:36 |
| Whitor | sorry | 02:36 |
| iceroot | arand: so its running faster to use / and then on the bigest dir instead of the whole system | 02:36 |
| Whitor | seems a little silly to assume everyone has a 4:3 display | 02:37 |
| Whitor | a button or field to manually specify a resolution would be awesome | 02:37 |
| soreau | Whitor: Maybe ask in #grub? | 02:38 |
| Whitor | good idea | 02:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Whitor: thats posibuility a liimitation of the bios/framebuffer | 02:38 |
| arand | iceroot: No "du -sh /" Will give a grand total of / with no subdirs, sin'ce you're using -s | 02:38 |
| roosh | I tried it | 02:39 |
| roosh | but ndis still failed | 02:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Whitor: the comments in /etc/default/grub mention the grub-shell command `vbeinfo' to see what modes your system can handle | 02:39 |
| roosh | do you want to see part of the syslog file? | 02:39 |

| Whitor | Dr_Willis, it did on Jaunty... | 02:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Whitor: you can always edit the /etc/default/grub/ by hand and set it to whatever you want | 02:41 |
| Pavel_10 | can anyone teach me to find a crash log? | 02:41 |
| Whitor | Dr_Willis, I did that ... edited /etc/default/grub (which is where grub2 sits) | 02:41 |
| jcapinc | How do I set the nomodeset kernal option when I do not see grub boot on startup? | 02:42 |
| === Gwar_ is now known as Gwar | ||
| Dr_Willis | jcapinc: on an installed system? You could set it as a option in /etc/default/grub or you could alter that file and tell it to Always show the grub menu. | 02:42 |
| harovali | iceroot: I ran apt-get clean && apt-get update , but things don't get back to normal ; I'm starting to supose that the problem might be bad repositories. Is that plausible to you ? | 02:42 |
| * Dr_Willis hates how the grub setup defaults to hiding the menu. | 02:43 | |
| roosh | airtonix: are you still here? | 02:43 |
| spotty | Im using (K)ubuntu Lucid. My home directory (and all users) are getting mounted as read-only. I have a partition just for /home. Anyone know why it might be happening? | 02:43 |
| Dr_Willis | spotty: check dmesg output. If theres some sort of disk-error theres often an option set in fstab to remount it read only. | 02:43 |
| Dr_Willis | spotty: i had issues like that when a hd was going bad. | 02:43 |
| spotty | What would that command be? | 02:43 |
| airtonix | roosh, yes | 02:44 |
| spotty | and I did check fstab. Both / and /home are mounted with error-remount-ro set | 02:44 |
| Dr_Willis | spotty: then i would bet that somewhere in dmesg - it mentions some errors on the hd. | 02:44 |
| roosh | so i tried it, but still no working. here is part of the syslog file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/454753/ | 02:44 |
| Dr_Willis | and remounts it read-only | 02:44 |
| spotty | again, how do I get the output for dmesg? | 02:44 |
| razz1 | I am going to enable pae in 10.04, do I need to disable restricted drivers first or is it going to be fine? | 02:45 |
| greezmunkey | spotty: just type dmesg in a terminal | 02:45 |
| greezmunkey | spotty: or look in /var/log | 02:46 |
| spotty | Well, it gave me all of this: http://pastebin.com/rTrdK6xt | 02:46 |
| Dr_Willis | spotty: 'dmesg' is a command. :) | 02:46 |
| Dr_Willis | spotty: normally if working ion a machine and it 'happens' to remount the HD on me. the info is near the end. | 02:47 |
| spotty | Ill say it once and Ill say it again. Holy crap! | 02:47 |
| Dr_Willis | spotty: or grep the dmesg output | 02:47 |
| Dr_Willis | dmesg | grep sda | 02:47 |
| Dr_Willis | or whatever the hd is | 02:47 |
| greezmunkey | spotty: hmm, the first few lines definately indicate a problem - good call Dr. | 02:47 |
| spotty | No wonder Gnome is so slow (KDE wont even load) | 02:47 |
| spotty | I have to say that if my hard drive has problems, its disappointing since this is only a 6 month old computer. | 02:48 |
| jrbaker8 | soreau: when i checked the disk it says "(initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: input/output error | 02:48 |
| jrbaker8 | disc* | 02:48 |
| Dr_Willis | spotty: ive bought New hard drives with probmlems. | 02:48 |
| greezmunkey | Dr_Willis: is there a chance that forcing fsck on boot will help? | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | spotty: i got a 1.5 TB at xmas that has a similer issue. it was my / that kept getting remounted ro.. THATY can really goof things up | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | greezmunkey: with HD's its hard to tell. I fsck mine.. it works for a few hrs.. then later it get an error and becomes RO. | 02:49 |
| spotty | Hmm... so what is the next thing I can try? | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | spotty: in short.. I would NOT trust that hard drive very much. I reccomend replaceing it. | 02:49 |
| spotty | and incidentally both my / and my /home are set to go read only upon error within /etc/fstab | 02:49 |
| greezmunkey | Dr_Willis: using that logic, an immediate backup is called for | 02:50 |
| Dr_Willis | spotty: theres some tools that 'might' fix it. but HD's are the weakest link in a mondern pc i find. | 02:50 |
| Dr_Willis | greezmunkey: always backup :) | 02:50 |
| Dr_Willis | greezmunkey: my HD that was gouing bad WAS the backup.. :) but i had moved it to a differnet pc for use as / and /home then i discoverd it was having issues.. so now its just a 'video archive disk' for the wifes tv shows. | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | work time for me. Bye all | 02:51 |
| greezmunkey | later | 02:51 |
| spotty | Well this is really unfortunate. Im an out of work web designer. No idea how Im gonna get a new hard drive. Cant earn money to buy said HD without this computer. Catch-22 and all because these hard drives are in such bad shape | 02:52 |
| spotty | cheap crap | 02:52 |

| ubottu | 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! | 02:52 |
| PwnerJohn | using ubuntu? | 02:52 |
| explodingwalrus | yep | 02:52 |
| greezmunkey | spotty: that what friends are for, do you know anyone that may have a spare drive laying around? | 02:53 |
| zkriesse | !hi | explodingwalrus | 02:53 |
| ubottu | explodingwalrus: please see above | 02:53 |
| PwnerJohn | how? or is there a documentation for it? | 02:53 |
| arand | PwnerJohn: It should be a simple matter of clicking on the equivalent "disk" in nautilus | 02:53 |
| spotty | Hmm....not that I know of. Either way, I sure am going to lose out on this gig that I just got. Cant really get paid if I cant work on it. :/ | 02:54 |
| explodingwalrus | anyone here knowledgable on Epiphany browser | 02:54 |
| explodingwalrus | ? | 02:54 |
| arand | PwnerJohn: nautilus being the File Browser | 02:54 |
| arand | !anyone | explodingwalrus | 02:54 |
| ubottu | explodingwalrus: 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? | 02:54 |
| explodingwalrus | how do you get epiphany to open all new links in a new tab rather than a new window, by default? | 02:55 |
| spotty | and my last hard drive that I owned went bad as well. In fact, its worse than the one in my computer right now I bet. That one has a huge gash down the side from the "needle" and the discs seperated. o.O | 02:55 |
| PwnerJohn | arand: okay, let me try that | 02:55 |
| johnofwax | I'm having issues with locally resolving my hostname on my 10.04 box. is there anyone here that may be able to help me figure this out ? | 02:57 |
| greezmunkey | johnofwax: what command are you trying to test? | 02:57 |
| johnofwax | ping | 02:57 |
| johnofwax | from my other machines | 02:57 |
| johnofwax | nslookup wasnt working either | 02:57 |
| greezmunkey | john try ping localhost, does that work? | 02:57 |
| johnofwax | nor was tracert (using a windows machine to connect to 10.04) | 02:57 |
| PwnerJohn | wait | 02:58 |
| PwnerJohn | do i need to install ubuntu | 02:58 |
| PwnerJohn | on? | 02:58 |
| === jeff_ is now known as Guest92835 | ||
| PwnerJohn | or is it okay if | 02:58 |
| greezmunkey | johnofwax: ok... | 02:58 |
| PwnerJohn | i keep it on the cd | 02:58 |
| flashkidd | !ping | 02:58 |
| ubottu | pong | 02:58 |
| johnofwax | yeah, the 10.04 machine... A) Is online, resolves other hostnames fine. B) can see itself as its hostname C) Can see other computers on the network by hostname | 02:58 |
| wise_crypt | johnofwax: do you have a dns server installed? | 02:58 |
| johnofwax | the other computers cannot see 10.04 (now known as server) by it's hostname | 02:58 |
| arand | PwnerJohn: You should be able to access it just from the liveCD yes. | 02:58 |
| PwnerJohn | okay. | 02:58 |
| johnofwax | I'm using a DD-WRT router, and it's suppose to handle all of my dns stuff. | 02:59 |
| greezmunkey | johnofwax: you will need to setup bind for that all to work, or manually edit /etc/hosts | 02:59 |
| johnofwax | this is a new development. everything was fine until a reboot yesterday | 02:59 |
| explodingwalrus | also how do i add irc.gnome.org to xchat? | 02:59 |
| PwnerJohn | i'm not that good with linux | 02:59 |
| PwnerJohn | arand: you have an idea where it might be located? | 02:59 |
| PwnerJohn | or a way to find out? | 03:00 |
| johnofwax | my /etc/hosts file has localhostIP (127.0.1.1) = localhost and also the hostname Im using. 2 lines | 03:00 |
| johnofwax | my /etc/hostname has the hostname its suppose to be responding as. | 03:00 |
| wise_crypt | johnofwax: $ dig localhost ? | 03:00 |
| johnofwax | I thought my router was foobared, as no computer could see "server" as "server" I had to use the IP address to access shares. Now the router and "server" are the only ones that can access it by the hostname | 03:01 |
| PwnerJohn | nevermind, i found it | 03:01 |
| johnofwax | from the dig command, are we expecting the router's IP as the SERVER: response ? | 03:01 |
| ShrekLappy | johnofwax, i found that using static leases under services on dd-wrt seemed to make the things work much better for hostnames | 03:01 |
| bastidrazor | johnofwax: localhost == 127.0.0.1 | 03:01 |
| johnofwax | 127.0.1.1 | 03:02 |
| Guest81105 | gah | 03:02 |
| wise_crypt | johnofwax: sometyhing like this SERVER: 127.0.0.1#53(127.0.0.1) | 03:02 |
| === Guest81105 is now known as [Pwner]John | ||
| johnofwax | where did I see that... 2 1's somewhere | 03:02 |
| johnofwax | Doh. my hosts file | 03:02 |
| johnofwax | lol | 03:02 |
| ShrekLappy | eww | 03:02 |
| ShrekLappy | host files are gross | 03:02 |
| johnofwax | 127.0.0.1localhost | 03:02 |
| johnofwax | 127.0.1.1server | 03:02 |
| ShrekLappy | cuz they are only for one machine | 03:02 |
| wise_crypt | johnofwax: just use dig localhost | 03:02 |
| johnofwax | ok | 03:02 |
| ShrekLappy | seriously, set static leases in dd-wrt, it makes things work better imo | 03:03 |
| johnofwax | dig localhost gets an answer. | 03:03 |
| ShrekLappy | i can ping my machine with the hostname in there even after reformatting ubuntu and putting a different hostname in | 03:04 |
| razz1 | 4gb ram, but pae enabled kernel still shows as 3.2gb. anyone know why? | 03:04 |
| wise_crypt | johnofwax: paste just the ;;SERVER: | 03:04 |
| ShrekLappy | razz1, it will only show that much even with pae | 03:04 |
| ShrekLappy | you need 64bit to show more | 03:04 |
| johnofwax | ;; SERVER: 192.168.1.1#53(192.168.1.1) | 03:04 |
| greezmunkey | ShrekLappy: yup, adding th estatic leases are a bit like adding an A record to a dns server... | 03:04 |
| arand | ShrekLappy: No that's incorrect, PAE will show same amount as amd64 | 03:04 |
| iceroot | razz1: enable pae in the bios also | 03:05 |
| wise_crypt | johnofwax: so that its way, put 127.0.0.1 on top the other in your host and hostname :) | 03:05 |
| iceroot | ShrekLappy: wrong, pae is for using more then 4gb with 32bit | 03:05 |
| ShrekLappy | correct, but as far as i know it wont show all that memory, even though it can 'use' it | 03:05 |
| arand | razz1: Just to chack you're running the pae kernel you can look at "uname -a"... | 03:06 |
| iceroot | ShrekLappy: its showing all memore but can only use 1.8gb per process | 03:06 |
| johnofwax | so /etc/hostname has the same syntax as /etc/hosts ? as it stands, hostname just contains the string "server" | 03:06 |
| razz1 | shrek, I think you are wrong, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE | 03:06 |

| razz1 | I will check the bios | 03:06 |

| greezmunkey | johnofwax: no it's correct as it is | 03:06 |
| johnofwax | ok | 03:06 |
| wise_crypt | johnofwax: in host put nameserver 127.0.0.1 | 03:06 |
| johnofwax | isnt the nameserver handled by /etc/resolv.conf ? | 03:07 |
| === usuario-master is now known as acido | ||
| bastidrazor | johnofwax: yes | 03:07 |
| wise_crypt | johnofwax: you have to install bing9 after this though and setup caching dns server | 03:07 |
| johnofwax | I dont have an issue resolving hostnames from this computer, it's others seeing the computer as "server" that's the issue. | 03:07 |

| phong_ | question running windows under ubuntu as virtual is the best choice or not? | 03:08 |
| johnofwax | up until this point, the DD-WRT has been handling all DNS / nameserver queries just fine. I'm not sure what caused the mishap. | 03:08 |
| greezmunkey | johnofwax: here's an example hosts file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/454763/ | 03:08 |
| johnofwax | I'd like to stick with using the router as you know.. a router. as this ubuntu machine is just a workstation | 03:08 |
| johnofwax | it's not really ment to have dns / nameserver services running on it at this point. | 03:08 |
| johnofwax | yeah | 03:09 |
| wise_crypt | johnofwax: this is a guide to do that http://www.zaphu.com/2007/09/10/ubuntu-dns-server-guide-bind-caching-name-server-setup/ | 03:09 |
| Buhmillion | hey guys, do any of you have experience with squid? | 03:09 |
| phong_ | question running windows under ubuntu as virtual is the best choice or not? | 03:09 |
| johnofwax | but the hosts file, as mentioned above; is for a single sided lookup, correct ? | 03:09 |
| Barridus | gwibber is messed up, anyone know where the settings folder is so i can wipe it out and start over? | 03:09 |
| johnofwax | wise_crypt: but I don't wanna do that. :P | 03:09 |

| bastidrazor | johnofwax: well, dnsmasq is just a cache for dns' resolved from somewhere else. bind9 actually does the resolving.. maybe unbound could be solution as well. | 03:16 |

| razz1 | wise_crypt, thanks | 03:19 |
| ShrekLappy | johnofwax, the reason to flash dd-wrt is to make it help your network be better, i seriously have not had any issues with hostnames since i set it up that way, and i used to have all sorts of issues like you are having. working sometimes, other times no, then it just stopped working altogether. works great when you let dd-wrt handle it | 03:19 |
| ravibn | arand: I looked at the certified hw list on ubuntu.com and this latitude is not listed | 03:19 |
| johnofwax | exactly! I haven't had any issues either, and have been using DD-WRT for almost a year. "it just works". | 03:20 |
| ruffleS | any1 who knows how to get this button back to its standard appearance? http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/6155/selection004.png | 03:20 |
| greezmunkey | johnofwax: shares by name is more a function of netbios (over tcp/ip), where straight IP to name resolution requires each machine to be able to look it up. Choice 1, a local nameserver. Choice 2, manually edit the hosts file on each machine to reflect the names and *static* ip addresses of every other machine. | 03:20 |
| arand | ravibn: The best way to find out is really to test it. | 03:20 |
| johnofwax | I'm going to heed your suggestion and use static leasing | 03:20 |
| wise_crypt | in desktop to use a server kernel just type sudo apt-get install linux-image-server and do update your grub using sudo update-grub that simple and after use tasksel to install common app for server | 03:20 |
| johnofwax | greez: the DD-WRT was suppose to handle that conversion. | 03:20 |
| ravibn | arand : thats what I am trying to do please help me understand abt this server 64 bit version | 03:21 |
| johnofwax | the weirdest thing is though... starting about an hour ago (when I reset my DD-WRT), nslookup from a remote machine starting working (where it wasnt before..) | 03:21 |
| johnofwax | although ping does not | 03:21 |
| ravibn | arand : like does it support the i686 cpu ? | 03:21 |

| greezmunkey | johnofwax: I can't verify that, as my ddwrt box is out in my work truck, but if it will allow you to create dhcp reservations, and associate a machine name with, then you will be good to go. | 03:22 |
| johnofwax | thats what I was thinking too. | 03:22 |
| johnofwax | would the hosts file on the dd-wrt do the same thing ? | 03:22 |
| johnofwax | or would it not relay that information to a requesting machine ? | 03:23 |
| ravibn | arand : please be sure on what you trying to answer ? I am clearly explaining that this machine is an i686 cpu | 03:23 |
| greezmunkey | johnofwax: if there is one, then that is how it make it work :) | 03:23 |
| ravibn | arand : why are u pointing me to the i386 | 03:23 |
| johnofwax | ok. I had tried that earlier, but I'll attempt a few variations of it. maybe put it in the dd-wrt scripts or something. | 03:23 |
| benjamim | Anyone here using Intel core i5 and Radeon graphics ? | 03:24 |
| greezmunkey | johnofwax: read the ddwrt docs, that will tell you what to do. | 03:24 |

| greezmunkey | ravibn: the question you need to resolve is whether or not your mobo is truely 64bit, me thinks. If so, then you can certainly give the 64bit sw a shot. | 03:29 |

| Joshmuffin | gantrixx, I heard that next release 10.10 is going to have loads! more microphone support | 03:41 |
| [Pwner]John | arand: as in install programs | 03:41 |

| rod | thanks | 03:43 |
| Joshmuffin | wise_crypt, I do know what I'm doing with backtrack, just not grub2 | 03:43 |
| arand | ravibn: If you want the GUI, then either get the desktop CD and install whatever server packages you need, or get the server and install ubuntu-desktop on top of it, I guess... | 03:43 |
| Joshmuffin | !samba | rod | 03:43 |

| rod | no no, no windows computers .. all ubuntu | 03:44 |
| ruffleS | rod, using ssh. but then u'd need to install openssh-server in the pcs | 03:44 |
| rod | through ssh I would be able to upload files? | 03:44 |
| matthew123 | I just typed lspci -vv and this was the output under the VGA section http://pastebin.com/1uYNGihq I'm concerned. First, I'm fairly sure my computer is 32 bit not 64, and second: non-prefetch is only 4M? and prefetch is only 256M? | 03:44 |
| arand | ravibn: Again, if the nvidia issue is the one that keeps you from booting that will likely be the same through all versions, well apart from the alternate install I guess, maybe. Don't know if that one does KMS/Plymouth or not... | 03:44 |
| [Pwner]John | Joshmuffin: I corrupted a file | 03:45 |

| ubottu | rod2: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 04:05 |
| scunizi | rod2: the firewall app? it can be installed. | 04:05 |

| jrbaker8 | i cant see any wireless networks on ubuntu and when i push the wireless button on my laptop it doesnt work | 04:27 |

| codebrainz_ | Joshmuffin, I'm too sure about grub2, but it might be worthwhile to install a simpler bootloader to get up and running (imo) | 04:32 |
| codebrainz_ | Joshmuffin, *not too sure about grub2 | 04:32 |
| Joshmuffin | codebrainz_, eg? grub1, lilo | 04:33 |
| Joshmuffin | ? | 04:33 |
| codebrainz_ | Joshmuffin, I like extlinux, but grub legacy or lilo are fine. If you like grub2, have you tried re-installing it from a livecd? | 04:34 |
| jrbaker8 | can anyone help me figure out why i cant turn on my wireless now that ive installed ubuntu | 04:34 |
| jrbaker8 | is there a setup i need to go through | 04:35 |
| H2OyJaBoN | jrbaker8: you should active the device on the network manager(if its recognoized) | 04:36 |
| sasi_ | I am using ubuntu 10.0, in dell inspiron. in my laptop sound coming in microphone, but not coming in speakers. any solutions | 04:36 |
| frmdstryr | if i have a packaged.tar.gz in ~/Downloads, what command do i need to extract it to ~/Desktop ? | 04:37 |
| H2OyJaBoN | sasi_: have you tried to turn on your mixers? | 04:37 |
| sasi_ | no | 04:37 |
| H2OyJaBoN | you should! | 04:37 |
| llamas612 | so i just did an install of Xubuntu and i wanted to install gnome as well | 04:38 |
| sasi_ | no modifications in alsa mixer. i have seen | 04:38 |
| llamas612 | but for som reason i cant find gnome in the repos | 04:38 |
| frmdstryr | i dont think you can install both | 04:38 |
| ShrekLappy | yes u can | 04:38 |
| ShrekLappy | sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 04:38 |
| ShrekLappy | kubuntu-desktop for kde | 04:38 |
| H2OyJaBoN | sasi_: may be you have to set your master channel (i'm running a dell too whithout problems ;) ) | 04:39 |
| ShrekLappy | youll pick which session at your login screen (which should be gdm anyway already i believe) | 04:39 |
| llamas612 | yea it cant seem to find it | 04:39 |
| llamas612 | i assumed that my repos were setup incorrectly | 04:39 |
| llamas612 | but its a fresh install | 04:39 |
| ShrekLappy | they should be by default | 04:39 |
| llamas612 | i've updated them too | 04:39 |
| ShrekLappy | did u apt-get update first? | 04:39 |
| ShrekLappy | ok | 04:39 |
| ShrekLappy | hmm | 04:39 |
| llamas612 | its really odd | 04:39 |
| ShrekLappy | did u try doing: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ? | 04:40 |
| llamas612 | yeap | 04:40 |
| sasi_ | how do i set | 04:40 |
| ShrekLappy | what did it throw back at you? | 04:40 |
| llamas612 | E: Couldn't find package ubuntu-desktop | 04:40 |
| ShrekLappy | huh | 04:40 |
| llamas612 | is there anyway i can find the default sources.lst | 04:40 |
| llamas612 | that comes with ubuntu | 04:40 |
| llamas612 | i mean, i looked through it and it looks fine | 04:40 |
| ShrekLappy | its /etc/apt/sources.list | 04:40 |
| ShrekLappy | is your sources i think | 04:41 |
| sasi_ | from last 10 days i have been this problem | 04:41 |
| ShrekLappy | (always used to be at least) | 04:41 |
| sasi_ | before that i dont have any problem | 04:41 |
| H2OyJaBoN | sasi_: in the terminal gnome-volume-control | 04:41 |
| llamas612 | well actually i meant the default ubuntu loads with | 04:41 |
| llamas612 | basically | 04:41 |
| sasi_ | k | 04:41 |
| llamas612 | i wanted to overwrite my sources | 04:41 |
| llamas612 | with a clean, default one | 04:41 |
| llamas612 | i doubt its that | 04:41 |

| codebrainz_ | Leif, do you need a filesystem in the image file? | 04:42 |
| Leif | codebrainz_, Yes, or rather, I need the folders to stay more or less intact | 04:42 |
| sasi_ | then | 04:43 |

| ubottu | sasi_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 04:44 |
| codebrainz_ | Leif, use dd to make a blank image file, use mkfs to format it, and use mount -o loop to mount it to a dir. then just cp -R the one dir to the mountpoint | 04:44 |

| Whitor | Hi... I have an app that when executed from a TTY console, it plays video in that console window.... If I run the same command in a Terminal window... the app opens its X interface ... how can I force the app to stay in the terminal window? | 04:45 |

| OEP | For a long while, my sound has been a crackly mess. I see lots of similar problems on forums, but most are old. Has anyone had this happen to them recently? | 04:46 |

| Joshmuffin | OEP, pulsaudio? | 04:46 |
| Leif | codebrainz_, but I'll get ther. | 04:46 |
| Leif | there* | 04:46 |
| codebrainz_ | Leif, i can help you, just giving an overview | 04:46 |
| Leif | codebrainz_, Ah, okay | 04:47 |
| OEP | Joshmuffin: Seems like I have that. It's a pretty standard installation.. | 04:47 |
| codebrainz_ | Leif, dd if=/dev/zero of=yourimage.img bs=1M count=howmanymegs | 04:47 |
| Joshmuffin | !sound !pulseaudio | OEP | 04:47 |
| Leif | codebrainz_, But isn't dd supposed to take an infile? | 04:47 |
| Leif | oh, okay. :) | 04:47 |
| Joshmuffin | !sound | OEP | 04:47 |
| ubottu | OEP: 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. | 04:47 |

| wildbat | my desktop PC don't have the option to suspend the machine~ what should i do to enable it? | 04:48 |
| Joshmuffin | OEP, Come back if its not help | 04:48 |
| Joshmuffin | :) | 04:48 |
| Leif | codebrainz_, AH, good, I got it created...now for mounting. :) | 04:48 |
| codebrainz_ | Leif, once that is done you have a blank image, then do mkfs -t yourfstype yourimage.img | 04:48 |
| Whitor | NetRoY, there is a command to do it all on one line ... I had it on another system in the past (but I don't have that cmd scrollback here) | 04:49 |
| codebrainz_ | Leif, to format it, once it's formatted, then do; sudo mount -o loop yourimage.img /some/folder | 04:49 |
| rollman | is there a man for assembly status calls | 04:49 |
| codebrainz_ | Leif, then just do, cp -R /the/dir/to/copy /some/folder | 04:50 |
| tsimpson | rollman: assembly status calls? | 04:50 |
| rollman | yeah | 04:50 |
| Leif | codebrainz_, Okay, thanks. (I'm still looking for the right keyword for the fstype at the moment though) | 04:50 |
| tsimpson | rollman: what exactly is that? | 04:51 |
| codebrainz_ | Leif, prolly ext2 | 04:51 |
| === STiK is now known as BlackHemorrhoid | ||
| === master is now known as skullbox | ||
| Leif | codebrainz_, Hmm..I was thinking fat as it's android, but okay, thanks | 04:51 |
| rollman | assembly language status calls or numbers to what they represent | 04:51 |
| codebrainz_ | Leif, yeah, whatever you need, i think it's 'vfat' | 04:51 |
| Guest23742 | sup you bun too | 04:51 |
| tsimpson | rollman: what status calls exactly? | 04:52 |
| codebrainz_ | rollman, are you talking about IOCTLs or something? | 04:52 |
| haywirepc | hello everyone. | 04:52 |
| rollman | like movl $1, %eax is a status call to exit | 04:52 |
| tsimpson | rollman: you mean system calls | 04:52 |
| rollman | yes | 04:53 |
| Leif | codebrainz_, Ah, okay, that works, thanks. Now when I try to mount it, it complains about the mount point not existing. | 04:53 |
| NetRoY | Whitor: most UI+console programs look for env DISPLAY | 04:53 |
| skullbox | does anyone know how to activate a 3 monitor setup with 2 Nvidia 8800 cards? i have 2 working with twinview but i cant figure out the 3rd | 04:53 |
| Leif | codebrainz_, So should I put it in an already existing folder? | 04:53 |
| haywirepc | anyone know how I can get cinelerra for ubuntu? | 04:53 |
| codebrainz_ | rollman, http://www.intel.com/products/processor/manuals/ | 04:53 |
| arunkumar413 | i want have only single panel on my desktop | 04:53 |
| tsimpson | codebrainz_: syscalls are OS specific | 04:53 |
| Leif | codebrainz_, sudo mount -o loop system.img /media/and | 04:53 |
| rollman | k thx i check it out | 04:53 |
| SlidingHorn | arunkumar413, simply right click the panel you dont want and select "remove panel" | 04:53 |
| bastidrazor | !cinelerra > haywirepc | 04:53 |
| ubottu | haywirepc, please see my private message | 04:53 |
| codebrainz_ | Leif, yes, make sure the mount point dir exists before mounting | 04:54 |
| NetRoY | Whitor you can either unset DISPLAY or prefix DISPLAY=: in you are command | 04:54 |
| Whitor | NetRoY, that might work | 04:54 |
| arunkumar413 | SlidingHorn: but where will the minimised windows go | 04:54 |
| codebrainz_ | tsimpson, i'm not sure exactly what he means to be honest | 04:54 |
| Whitor | NetRoY, how can I unset that in a terminal ? | 04:54 |
| NetRoY | Whitor: shud work for most apps | 04:54 |
| tsimpson | rollman: generally, you should use the C library calls to save you the trouble. or just look at /usr/include/asm/unistd_32.h (for 32bit) | 04:54 |
| arunkumar413 | SlidingHorn: i want to remove the the panel which contains the minimised windows | 04:55 |
| SlidingHorn | arunkumar413, you can add the "window list" applet to the remaining panel by right clicking it and selecting "add to panel" and finding the window list app | 04:55 |
| tsimpson | codebrainz_: it's a very, very low level interface to the kernel | 04:55 |
| NetRoY | Whitor: "unset DISPLAY; vlc" or "DISPLAY=: VLC" ... go for second one though | 04:55 |
| Whitor | NetRoY, that did it ! unset DISPLAY; | 04:55 |
| arunkumar413 | SlidingHorn: ok,thanks | 04:56 |
| gbillings | how do i install vista inside ubuntu? | 04:56 |
| Guest23742 | gbillings, you dont | 04:56 |
| SlidingHorn | gbillings, you can't...you can dual boot though | 04:56 |
| gbillings | what about a VM? possible? | 04:56 |
| codebrainz_ | tsimpson, this i know. I wasn't sure if he meant syscalls or general ASM opcodes or what. | 04:56 |
| Whitor | NetRoY, then #~vlc mediafile.mpg .... plays in ascii in a terminal window in X nice ! | 04:56 |

| NetRoY | cheers | 04:57 |

| === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen | ||

| robertzaccour | how do i delete a theme i installed? its in the themes list but no option that i see of to uninstall it | 04:58 |
| gbillings | Is installing Windows Vista inside VirtualBox a realistic goal or is it basicly impossible? I have 2gb of ram and 250GB HD running Ubuntu 10.04. | 04:58 |
| Guest23742 | gbillings, sounds good | 04:58 |
| SwedeMike | gbillings: sounds like ram might be low, vista really needs 2 gig to run properly. | 04:59 |
| tsimpson | gbillings: it's possible sure, just don't expect blazing performance | 04:59 |
| gbillings | will my system be slow and laggy? or would it be better to go with XP? | 04:59 |
| SlidingHorn | arunkumar413, once you get all the applets you want, you can right click them, select "move" to place them where you want them, and, if you wish, right click again and select "lock to panel" so you can't move them (until you "unlock" them) | 04:59 |
| scunizi | gbillings: xp would be better | 04:59 |
| ShrekLappy | can someone recommend a good xml editor for ubuntu? | 04:59 |
| gbillings | ok gottit will do that tonite thanks everyone! | 04:59 |
| ShrekLappy | besides eclipse...which im downloading and its taking forever | 04:59 |
| SlidingHorn | !best | shrek | 04:59 |
| ubottu | shrek: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 04:59 |
| Leif | codebrainz_, Great, so now how can I unmount it when I'm done? | 04:59 |
| codebrainz_ | Leif, sudo umount /the/mount/point | 05:00 |
| ShrekLappy | good != best | 05:00 |
| Guest23742 | ubuntu rocks but no games | 05:00 |
| tsimpson | ShrekLappy: I use kate, but gedit would also do. they aren't specific XML editors, but they do have syntax highlighting and code-folding (at lease kate does) | 05:00 |
| Leif | codebrainz_, Ah, thanks, I was looking for an unmount command. ;) | 05:01 |
| arunkumar413 | SlidingHorn: there are three menus to the left:applications,places and system. instead of three i want a single menu to do the things,i that i can save some space on the panel | 05:01 |
| SlidingHorn | ShrekLappy, you can use any text editor...I believe gedit has a plugin for syntax highliting | 05:01 |
| csp | Hi, does anyone know where to get libopensync 1.0 for Lucid? | 05:01 |
| Guest23742 | csp, synaptic | 05:01 |
| Guest23742 | next! | 05:01 |
| NetRoY | Guest23742: Wait for steam client.. you'll have all games you want | 05:01 |
| ShrekLappy | weird, the xml files i open are all garbage chars (using gedit), so i figured i needed a different editor | 05:02 |
| SlidingHorn | arunkumar413, that's what the last thing was telling you about was for...the 3 menu applet is called "menu bar" whereas the single button menu is called "main menu" rt click "menu bar" > Remove from panel. rt click panel > add to panel > select Main Menu | 05:02 |
| csp | Guest23742: the repository only has the older version, which segfault badly | 05:02 |
| csp | I recently updated my system, and now msynctool just crashed because of libopensync0 | 05:03 |
| zbanks1 | I'm trying to run playonlinux (which allows running programs thru wine), which I've done fine in the past. I moved the install to a separate computer, which has integrated intel graphics instead of nvidia. Now, however, I cannot use playonlinux, as it tries to load "NV-GLX", which isn't in use since there isn't a nvidia card. | 05:03 |

| OEP | OK, here's what I can say. MOSTLY the sound works. Music on average plays OK, unless I seek to a different position to a song then it has a likelihood of getting crackly. If I close out mid-song, it will sometimes freeze up on this one sound. | 05:10 |
| csp | but will probably have to do it somehow, if I want to use that stupid sync tool, and it's the only option available... | 05:10 |

| VCoolio | joker: it's an archive, extract then look what to do with it, there may be a README file | 05:46 |
| SlidingHorn | joker: in your terminal, use the 'cd' command (without quotes) to move to the folder that contains the tar.gz archive (kinda like a zip file in windows) and then run the command | 05:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | darren__, ahh sorry thought you where trying some web based webcam. have you tried amsn? | 05:46 |
| SlidingHorn | joker: actually if you double click the file, it should offer to extract it with archivemanager | 05:47 |
| tyler_d2 | daddy: so what did you do to configure yours, I'm under the assumption you are using this? | 05:47 |
| joker | SlidingHorn, it does but I'm not quite sure what to do with the extracted files, lol | 05:47 |
| SlidingHorn | joker: from there, VCoolio is correct...there should be a README file that will have further instructions | 05:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | darren__, also you can't do the 2 way video/voice connections in linux as far as i know | 05:47 |

| LittleWolf | Could someone explain to me/direct me/help me out making windows files accessible from Ubuntu? The last time I tried to do it, it made my ubuntu freeze and I had to reinstall it. | 06:02 |
| tyler_d2 | daddy: that makes no relevant sense to my situation unfortunately. The issue is not in the administration, it is in the configuration of the ics through the wifi | 06:02 |

| SlidingHorn | arunkumar413, give this a read and let me know if it works: http://roezer.com/LostBlog/error-neterr_ssl_protocol_error/ | 06:02 |
| anjilslaire | doyle: try http://techie-buzz.com/foss/install-koffice-2-2-in-kubuntu-10-04.html | 06:03 |
| Danbuntu1 | If you load up Nautilus you should see the Windows partition mention. Something like 500GB filesystem | 06:03 |
| th | ZykoticK9, Joshmuffin, just want to stop output. it keeps printing to that terminal until the program is killed. sry for my english | 06:03 |
| SlidingHorn | Joshmuffin, I only saw him post one line...........? | 06:03 |
| Danbuntu1 | Depending on the size of the partition LittleWolf | 06:03 |
| Danbuntu1 | Hard Drive I meant | 06:03 |
| ZykoticK9 | th, not sure man, i'd just open a new terminal ;) | 06:03 |
| bullgard | Joshmuffin: Are you new in operating ubottu? | 06:03 |
| VCoolio | th: next time start command with this behind it: >/dev/null 2>&1 & | 06:04 |
| th | VCoolio, hmm whats that? | 06:04 |
| anjilslaire | @doyle: its in backports, essentially | 06:04 |
| LittleWolf | This is the first time I try Linux. Ever. I just installed it yesterday and I already managed to break it quite a few times. | 06:04 |
| Joshmuffin | bullgard, SlidingHorn sorry that was my bad, my screen glitched and it looked like he had sent the same line of code multiple times when infact it was someone else and they had only sent it once | 06:04 |
| doyle | anjilslaire: I've enabled backports, but I only see 2.1.2 | 06:05 |
| VCoolio | th: it puts error and normal output to /dev/null, which is nothing | 06:05 |
| ZykoticK9 | th, VCoolio command is good! it redirects to dev/null the linux blackhole | 06:05 |
| Danbuntu1 | LIttleWolf are you running via Wubi install or partitioned install? | 06:05 |
| LittleWolf | I know that windows has a 9.4 GB partition, Ubuntu got a 17 GB one, and 240GB are files and crap. | 06:05 |
| daddy | tyler_d2: ok what ics client are you using? | 06:05 |
| LittleWolf | Wubi. | 06:05 |
| th | ZykoticK9, VCoolio thank you! thats it! | 06:05 |
| bullgard | LittleWolf: Welcome to Ubuntu! Enjoy! | 06:05 |
| tyler_d2 | daddy: network manager | 06:05 |
| LittleWolf | Thanks, it's been a headache, but I'm liking it so far. | 06:05 |
| Danbuntu1 | I second that motion bullgard. | 06:06 |
| Danbuntu1 | Yes it can be, | 06:06 |
| SlidingHorn | LittleWolf, That's half the fun of Linux systems: breaking it and learning how to fix it (at least if you're a geek like me) :) | 06:06 |
| daddy | tyler_d2: have you installed samba? | 06:06 |
| scotts | what line do I need to add to my thunderbird apparmour file to allow it to launch links in firefox? | 06:06 |
| Joshmuffin | LittleWolf, the windows partition should be accessible via the "places" menu | 06:06 |
| tyler_d2 | daddy: samba is windows filesharing, so no, I have not installed samba | 06:06 |
| LittleWolf | It isn't, as so far as I can see. | 06:06 |
| Danbuntu1 | I have been around Linux for many years and still get headaches now and then from it, but it is a great OS. | 06:06 |
| LittleWolf | It just says it is unreadable. | 06:06 |
| doyle | anjilslaire: I enabled the backports and updated apt-get. When I viewthe koffice package in the package manager it shows 2.1.2. If I use 'sudo apt-get install koffice' will that give me a different version thatn what is presented in the package manager? | 06:06 |
| Danbuntu1 | LIttleWolf, at the top click on the Places, then Home Folder. | 06:07 |
| Danbuntu1 | New Window appears. Do you see a mention of 9.4GB Filesystem? | 06:07 |
| daddy | tyler_d2: ok what are you trying to do? What are you trying to share, or get? | 06:07 |
| anjilslaire | @doyle: looking | 06:07 |
| VCoolio | doyle: should be the same; check with apt-cache policy koffice | 06:07 |
| LittleWolf | Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Public, Templates, Videos, Examples and a bunch of hidden files. | 06:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | LittleWolf, if you are using Wubi accessing the host drive is handled differently then "normal" (sorry can't tell you the answer though) | 06:08 |
| daddy | tyler_d2: if possible be general with your answer | 06:08 |
| LittleWolf | crap | 06:08 |
| LittleWolf | Is partitioning really hard? | 06:08 |
| tyler_d2 | daddy: I have 1 desktop server with a wired, and a wireless card. I access the internet on this machine through the wired card(eth0). I would like to share that internet connection with a laptop via wireless. | 06:08 |
| Danbuntu1 | One moment. It works fine for me. Let me reboot my XP to Mint and see how its done there, | 06:09 |
| LittleWolf | I tried it, but I chickened out halfway and opted for Wubi. | 06:09 |
| Samual | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=791805#3 -- I was just wondering if this answer is safe to use | 06:09 |
| Joshmuffin | LittleWolf, it is quite simple once you understand it | 06:09 |
| Samual | I have the same problem and want to fix it, just making sure running that would be fine. | 06:09 |
| LittleWolf | That would be an obstacle for me. | 06:09 |
| Joshmuffin | LittleWolf, Dual booting is by far a superior option | 06:09 |
| doyle | VCoolio: yep, same. 2.1.2. | 06:09 |
| LittleWolf | Better than wubi? | 06:09 |
| Joshmuffin | LittleWolf, Yeh | 06:09 |
| ZykoticK9 | LittleWolf, much better | 06:09 |
| LittleWolf | But I just got a sweet looking Desktop cube! Don't tell me I have to redo it all! | 06:09 |
| Joshmuffin | !partitioning > LittleWolf | 06:10 |
| ubottu | LittleWolf, please see my private message | 06:10 |
| FrozenInferno | is there a way to automatically keep grub2 from listing older kernels? | 06:10 |
| Joshmuffin | LittleWolf, you can backup compiz configuration | 06:10 |
| ZykoticK9 | LittleWolf, i think it is possible to migrate wubi to native install! don't ask me how. | 06:10 |
| daddy | tyler_d2: can't help you here, sorry to waste your time. | 06:10 |
| Samual | Anyone? Is running this "sudo ln -s ~/.themes /root/.themes" safe? And would it work for moving your making sudo'd applications have the right theme? | 06:10 |
| SlidingHorn | LittleWolf, it's a bit intimidating, but it's a better option....and yes, you would have to reconfigure any custom settings you've enabled. I think there's a way to migrate a wubi install, but not sure | 06:11 |
| VCoolio | LittleWolf: export your compiz settings, there is a button for it in the compiz manager; then partition, install ubuntu, import the file and done with the cube | 06:11 |
| anjilslaire | doyle: synaptic shows 2.2 for me | 06:11 |
| tyler_d2 | I have 1 desktop server with a wired, and a wireless card. I access the internet on this machine through the wired card(eth0). I would like to share that internet connection with a laptop via wireless. | 06:11 |
| LittleWolf | Really? I've been googling my linux questions so far, but people warned me not to do things without being sure they wouldn't harm my machine. | 06:11 |
| doyle | anjilslaire: You're in 10.04? | 06:11 |
| Danbuntu1 | On my other system the partition is listed under Floppy Drive. | 06:11 |
| doyle | shouldn't even matter | 06:11 |
| skrippy11 | I just upgraded my hp mini 311 to 10.04 and now my wireless and wired internet does not work. I suspect I need to install the Broadcom driver, but how do I do that with no internet access? | 06:11 |
| bullgard | Ubuntu 10.04 writes on the virtual console 1: "T43 login: mountall: Disconnect from Plymouth." Does this message mean that the program Plymouth has not been executed at all? | 06:11 |
| Danbuntu1 | Desktop, File System Network, Audio Disc, Floppy Drive 500GB filesystem | 06:12 |
| FrozenInferno | is there a way to automatically keep grub2 from listing older kernels? | 06:12 |
| SlidingHorn | Samual, In my opinion, you're taking an unnecessary risk....why do you want to link to the /root/.themes? | 06:12 |
| anjilslaire | doyle: yes | 06:12 |
| Samual | SlidingHorn, so that applications like synaptic can use my theme | 06:12 |
| LittleWolf | I need to uninstall Wubi/Ubuntu before I partition, right? | 06:12 |
| SlidingHorn | Samual, as far as I know, they should anyway.... | 06:12 |
| Joshmuffin | LittleWolf, Yeas, recomended | 06:13 |
| Samual | SlidingHorn, no, if you install a theme it is for the user | 06:13 |
| Samual | SlidingHorn, and sudo doesn't use it | 06:13 |
| SlidingHorn | Samual, what kind of theme are you talking about? I'm a bit confused.... | 06:14 |
| VCoolio | Samual: that won't work; just create a file /root/gtkrc-2.0 in which you specify what theme root apps should use; those themes should be in /usr/share/themes | 06:14 |
| Joshmuffin | LittleWolf, Once you find your windows hdd from wubi i suggest comping home folder onto windows and then restoring certain configurations from the copied home folder | 06:14 |
| SlidingHorn | oh...apparently I was alone in my confusion...never mind me Samual :) | 06:14 |
| Joshmuffin | I suggest copying** | 06:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | LittleWolf, Joshmuffin +1 | 06:14 |
| anjilslaire | doyle: I'd install & see, but I dont want to clutter up my netbook I'm on atm | 06:14 |
| somethinginteres | I'm wondering about bluray playback in Lucid Lynx is it true at this stage only specific drives work after firmware flashes or has the situation improved? Thanks | 06:14 |
| Samual | VCoolio, Ah | 06:15 |
| FrozenInferno | is there a way to automatically keep grub2 from listing older kernels? | 06:15 |
| SlidingHorn | Samual, for future reference, any time you're using an app with a GUI, you should use gksu instead of sudo | 06:15 |
| VCoolio | Samual: put lines like this in that file: gtk-theme-name="Dust" gtk-icon-theme-name="Human" | 06:15 |
| Samual | SlidingHorn, already know that ^_^ | 06:15 |
| anjilslaire | it would be 359mb of crap to add, then * purge | 06:15 |
| LittleWolf | Copy home folder onto windows? | 06:15 |
| SlidingHorn | k :) | 06:15 |
| LittleWolf | So WIndows can't access Ubuntu? | 06:15 |
| Samual | VCoolio, precisely where should the file go again? | 06:15 |
| VCoolio | Samual: /root/.gtkrc-2.0 | 06:16 |
| Samual | VCoolio, and don't worry, I know how to make the file. | 06:16 |
| LittleWolf | Sorry for the newb questions :X | 06:16 |
| LittleWolf | I'm more of a baker than a geek. | 06:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | somethinginteres, good luck man :) not many people ask about bluray in this channel. i'd check out the status of mplayer support. | 06:16 |
| Samual | I thought /root/ was just / though? | 06:16 |
| simar | From where can one access Upstream bug reports ???? | 06:16 |
| SlidingHorn | LittleWolf, good...send us cookies! :-P | 06:16 |
| doyle | anjilslaire: There shouldn't be any restarts required for synaptic to update version information right? I've never noticed versions missing in the past. | 06:17 |
| VCoolio | Samual: no, in this case you're going to set 'user settings' for root | 06:17 |
| Joshmuffin | LittleWolf, Windows can access Ubuntu with some configuration but visa versa would be much easier | 06:17 |
| LittleWolf | Last time I sent baked goods over the mail, UPS took too long and they arrived with sentient mold on them. | 06:17 |
| doyle | anjilslaire: Could the repository configuration have anythign to do with this? | 06:17 |
| greezmunkey | LittleWolf: Recipies are good, no sence in reinventing the wheel if you don't have too :) | 06:17 |
| anjilslaire | samual: /root is the home dir for root | 06:17 |
| SlidingHorn | arunkumar413, how did things turn out for you? didn't hear back after the chrome issue | 06:17 |
| Samual | Well I can't cd into /root/ (even with sudo), it says command not found when done with sudo and it says permission denied otherwise | 06:17 |
| anjilslaire | doyle: no reboot. repo, maybe | 06:18 |
| VCoolio | LittleWolf: there is an app for windows that can access ext3 (and recently also ext4 I think), but it will ask to format the new disks, so take care with those | 06:18 |
| arunkumar413 | SlidingHorn: no,there is no use ssl2.0 raido button in the under the hood options | 06:18 |
| SlidingHorn | Samual, i think you have sudo su for that | 06:18 |
| xray_tsk | Samual: cd is not a binary | 06:18 |
| xray_tsk | Samual: cd is a command of a bash | 06:18 |
| SlidingHorn | hmmm...hold on I'll check mine (i use chromium, so mine might be different) | 06:18 |
| LittleWolf | That's a little too advanced for me. It took me 4 hours to figure out how to get that sweet desktop cube working. | 06:18 |
| xray_tsk | Samual: you should use sudo bash | 06:18 |
| LittleWolf | Totally worth it. | 06:18 |
| VCoolio | Samual: sudo -i then just cd and touch file | 06:18 |
| Samual | xray_tsk, ahhhh right. | 06:19 |
| xray_tsk | Samual: and then cd to everywhere you want | 06:19 |
| anjilslaire | doyle: I use a repo in Oregon, since its fast &closer than the US | 06:19 |
| somethinginteres | ZykoticK9: Roger :) | 06:19 |
| greezmunkey | http://mirrors.cat.pdx.edu/ubuntu-releases/10.04/ | 06:19 |
| * Joshmuffin remembers first setting up the desktop cube :D | 06:19 | |
| doyle | anjilslaire: can I get the url? | 06:19 |
| anjilslaire | doyle: its in Synaptic | 06:19 |
| anjilslaire | lemme check | 06:19 |
| Samual | xray_tsk, VCoolio, thanks -- I'll come back if it doesn't work :P | 06:19 |
| LittleWolf | Isn't it awesome? I'm really liking Linux. | 06:19 |
| Samual | VCoolio, oh and, would I need to reboot/logout for this to take affect? | 06:20 |
| SlidingHorn | arunkumar413, are you sure? on mine, there is a scroll bar in the "Under the Hood" tab, and the check box is near the bottom | 06:20 |
| Joshmuffin | LittleWolf, you have to be prepeared to reinstall, often. The only way to have fun is break it and try fix it. | 06:20 |
| LittleWolf | I can't find any simple tutorials to learn from, but I did read that free Ubuntu guide the forums offered. | 06:20 |
| VCoolio | Samual: nope | 06:20 |
| Joshmuffin | LittleWolf, everything. EVERYTHING you need is in the forums or can be found through google. | 06:21 |
| FrozenInferno | is there a way to automatically keep grub2 from listing older kernels? | 06:21 |
| SlidingHorn | LittleWolf, you may also want to take a look @ linux mint -- it's based off of ubuntu, but it's aimed at being more "user-friendly" whereas ubuntu itself is aimed at being more "bleeding-edge" -- just a suggestion :) | 06:21 |
| anjilslaire | doyle: http://ubuntu.osuosl.org/ubuntu | 06:21 |
| Joshmuffin | FrozenInferno, update-gub? | 06:21 |
| Joshmuffin | FrozenInferno, update-grub?* | 06:22 |
| doyle | anjilslaire: Ah, I'm on a canadian repo server at uwaterloo... Canadians are slow to update. Excellent! Thanks for hte url. I'll try it | 06:22 |
| LittleWolf | The problem I have sometimes, is that I do not know any of the terms or vocabulary. I can't word my specific problems of which I have a lot of. | 06:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | FrozenInferno, i uninstall "SOME" of my old kernels to get them out of the grub list ;) there "might" be a grub2 way as well | 06:22 |
| Samual | Ahaha, it worked | 06:22 |
| Samual | Thanks. | 06:22 |
| FrozenInferno | Joshmuffin, update-grub lists the new kernel, but it leaves the old. the only way to get rid of the older kernel is removing the image from synaptic. i was wondering if there's an automatic way | 06:22 |
| anjilslaire | doyle: I originally found it via the synaptic gui | 06:22 |
| LittleWolf | I am breaking a lot of things, and hopefully learning... | 06:23 |
| VCoolio | SlidingHorn: ubuntu bleeding-edge? that's new.. also in my opinion mint is ubuntu with a green theme and it's own way of doing things so it's not portable; but that's offtopic | 06:23 |
| arunkumar413 | SlidingHorn: ya found it | 06:23 |
| SlidingHorn | VCoolio, i've personally never tried mint, but that's the impression i've gotten from what I've read...but you're right, we're OT...next! :) | 06:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | FrozenFire, sorta related, if you want to tweak what your grub2 shows check out this awesome post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1287602 | 06:24 |

| joker | Anyone know if there's an easy way to get my Live USB recognized as the CD drive so I can install packages that have dependencies on the CD? | 06:29 |
| LittleWolf | I'm reading the partitioning your disk link you sent me. I know that inside my computer there is just one hard drive thing. And when I log on windows, there is C: and D: and there's a system restore on D: that takes it all up. So Ubuntu create its OS in C: where I save all my files, or will it's make its own little one? | 06:30 |
| joker | I've been installing the dependencies manually but I ran into a problem when 2 of said packages depend on each other... I can't install them manually. | 06:30 |

| SlidingHorn | joker: you have to set your bios to boot from USB first, if it allows it -- unfortunately I've never done it...: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#Booting%20the%20Computer%20From%20USB | 06:32 |
| === jay is now known as Guest17830 | ||
| VCoolio | LittleWolf: C: and D: are windows terms; both are partitions; if you create a new partition for linux, windows won't see it, only C: will get smaller | 06:32 |
| joker | SlidingHorn: Oh I did, that's all sorted. | 06:32 |
| arunkumar413 | SlidingHorn: getting one more error this time it is Error 324 | 06:32 |
| joker | SlidingHorn: But now I need ubuntu to recognize my USB as a CD and not a USB | 06:32 |
| tyler_d2 | I have added "pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.up.rules" to my /etc/network/interfaces file and now doing /etc/init.d/networking restart gives me /etc/network/interfaces:5: misplaced option ??? | 06:32 |
| LittleWolf | Okay, so it will take its space from C: which has available space? | 06:32 |
| bobthemiIkman | Due to fortran compatibility errors, I'd like to install g77 on my machine (gcc v3.X). Is there any easy way to get this? | 06:33 |
| VCoolio | LittleWolf: that's up to you where you get it from; if D: is more suitable for you, that's ok; if you use gparted can see the drive as a bar and you can create and size a partition there, make it ext3 or ext4 and apply | 06:34 |
| joker | Alternatively I would like Synaptic to recognize my USB as a legitimate repository | 06:35 |
| portablejim_ | My system can see my CD writer (i.e. it is /dev/sr0, and comes up in Disk Utility) but I cannot read any media that is it (spins but does not mount) and it does not say it has empty media when I place it in the drive. | 06:35 |
| LittleWolf | Well, D: is full. | 06:35 |
| LittleWolf | It might no work if I shrink it, I think I read something about minimum OS requirements. Which brings me to, the guide says Ubuntu should be at least 4GB, but someone told me it should be around 20GB | 06:36 |

| Joshmuffin | LittleWolf, it depends how much data and programs you will be putting on ubuntu, excluding data (movies, music) I usually recommend 8giB | 06:37 |
| doyle | anjilslaire: Still no sign of koffice 2.2. All 2.1.2. | 06:37 |
| bazhang | LOVE_SP, check the appdb, /join #winehq | 06:37 |

| LittleWolf | Oh, alright. What about "Home Partition"? Will WIndows and Ubuntu share it? | 06:38 |
| mneptok | doyle: 2.2 is available from a PPA | 06:39 |
| VCoolio | LittleWolf: depends what you're going to do with it; 4 Gb can be enough, but it won't give much opportunities to install and experiment a lot; I'd say give file system 6 Gb and home (where your files and data and stuff are) what you need; home will not be shared with windows | 06:39 |
| Joshmuffin | LittleWolf, depeding on how you do it home will be inside / (ubuntu partition), however if you make a seperate /home partition you can set it up to be seen by windows, its kind of complicated however | 06:39 |
| LittleWolf | O_O | 06:39 |
| hecresper | hello | 06:39 |
| LittleWolf | So they both need their own?! | 06:39 |
| greezmunkey | LittleWolf: windows and ubuntu run on differantly formatted partitions. In the absence of translation (such as samba) they will not interact with each other. | 06:40 |
| VCoolio | LittleWolf: ubuntu has no problems writing to windows partitions, so you can still use files on both | 06:40 |
| bobthemiIkman | greezmunkey: I found a .deb for g77-3.4 from hardy, but it's having dependency errors. I think I might just compile it from source. | 06:40 |
| SlidingHorn | arunkumar413, are you experiencing this problem with any other browsers? (i.e. firefox?) | 06:40 |
| Joshmuffin | LittleWolf, they dont need there own, but there is an option to set it up that way | 06:40 |
| hecresper | need a bit of assistance with my Latitude D830 and BCM4312 rev 01. | 06:40 |
| arunkumar413 | SlidingHorn: no | 06:40 |
| Joshmuffin | hecresper, What exactly is the problem | 06:40 |
| hecresper | ubuntu 10.04 fresh installation | 06:40 |
| arunkumar413 | SlidingHorn: only chrome | 06:40 |
| greezmunkey | bobthemiIkman: yeah, I'd go the source route, that way you don't end up with any conflicting dependencies or other such wierdness. | 06:40 |
| hecresper | just switched to ATT Uverse | 06:40 |
| LittleWolf | Oh, I see. I'm not really interested on accessing ubuntu files from windows, more of windows files from ubuntu so I don't have to double them. | 06:41 |
| doyle | mneptok: ppa? | 06:41 |
| hecresper | and their router is set to WPA-PSK, but ubuntu refuses to connect to it | 06:41 |
| joker | Anyone know how to get Synaptic to recognize my LiveUSB as a LiveCD instead? | 06:41 |
| hecresper | wirelessly | 06:41 |
| bobthemiIkman | Well, it's not like I've never compiled gcc from source before. Although the last time I did, I had the help of being on a gentoo system. Let's see how well Ubuntu can handle this... | 06:41 |
| Joshmuffin | LittleWolf, correct ubuntu will always see windows | 06:41 |
| nowimproved | What is the best free version equivalent of cpanel, it doesn't have to be that comprehensive. | 06:41 |
| bobthemiIkman | And let's hope I can completely not fubar all my libraries. | 06:41 |
| zer010 | wow, fast | 06:42 |
| LittleWolf | I see, that's what I didn't get, thank you! >< | 06:42 |

| VCoolio | bobthemiIkman: do 'apt-get build-dep gcc' first, will get most of the dependencies if not all | 06:43 |
| Joshmuffin | LittleWolf, Ubuntu is "friendly" as in it trys to work as much as possible where as other software trys to exclude | 06:43 |
| joker | Joshmuffin: nope, figured I'd try here first since I had IRC open already | 06:43 |
| joker | I'll try now | 06:43 |
| LittleWolf | So if I got it right, I just need to make an 8GB partition for Ubuntu? | 06:43 |
| hecresper | google search turns up old forum posts about wpa psk and ubuntu. nothing related to 10.04 | 06:43 |
| Joshmuffin | jasim, once would have been enough | 06:43 |
| Dennisnuel | /join #alphaonelabs | 06:44 |
| sweetpi | bobthemiIkman: have you tried gfortran? | 06:44 |
| jasim | Sorry... It was not meant for this IRC. | 06:44 |
| bobthemiIkman | VCoolio: Thanks. Looks like it's going to pull in a few extra dependencies (like some java and C++ compiling stuff), but nothing my system can't take. | 06:44 |

| zer010 | hpw big should a / partition be? | 06:44 |
| zer010 | *how | 06:44 |
| VCoolio | LittleWolf: yes, but also consider giving root file system and home their own partitions, so when you're going to do a fresh install some day you won't need to backup all your files; you can do this during installation of ubuntu | 06:45 |
| Joshmuffin | zer010, I would suggest 6-10 gib, if /home is a seperate partition | 06:45 |
| mneptok | doyle: looks like 2.2 is actually in the backports repo | 06:45 |
| LittleWolf | How big should they be? | 06:45 |
| zer010 | ikool @josh i made mine about 1/2, 19G | 06:45 |
| anjilslaire | doyle: try http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/packages/show/202860 | 06:45 |
| Joshmuffin | zer010, if /home is not on a separate partition / should be 6-10 + however much you need for movies music ect. | 06:46 |
| Joshmuffin | LittleWolf, Read the line above this | 06:46 |
| VCoolio | LittleWolf: root file system will be called / while home is /home, give / 6Gb and /home the rest for example, 6Gb is enough for root | 06:46 |
| zer010 | i didnt know how big / could get. /home is a sparate pat on the same 40G disk | 06:47 |
| anjilslaire | doyle: gotta bail, battery about dead. good luck | 06:47 |
| VCoolio | LittleWolf: /home is where your documents, photos, videos are going to be; only you can tell how much you need there | 06:47 |
| Joshmuffin | zer010, / should be around 6 or 8 in that case | 06:47 |
| Joshmuffin | zer010, /home should be the rest | 06:47 |
| LittleWolf | Okay, 8GB for ubuntu, 6GB for root, and however much I want for Home, right? | 06:47 |
| zer010 | i guess / wont be as bloated as i thought | 06:47 |
| Joshmuffin | LittleWolf, ubuntu is on / | 06:48 |
| tripelb | I want to grep a set of files (all in a directory) for the text pirate but not as a separate word, just the text no matter how it appears. (it's part of an email addy) I did grep pirate * -- was that correct (no response, just a new prompt) | 06:48 |
| doyle | thanks anjilslaire | 06:48 |
| VCoolio | LittleWolf: no that's double; 6 Gb for root, ? for /home so 'ubuntu' will have 6+? total, ubuntu is human language, not a partition | 06:49 |
| Joshmuffin | LittleWolf, 6gib for / rest for /home. thats the only two partitions you need | 06:49 |
| zer010 | tripelb should pipe | it to a text | 06:49 |
| SlidingHorn | tripelb, try it w/o the space between pirate & the *: grep "pirate*" (use quotes) | 06:49 |
| LittleWolf | Crap, I'm confused now. | 06:49 |
| bobthemiIkman | What's the recommended directories to put these gcc-3.4.6 files in? --prefix=/usr/bin/gcc-3.4.6/? | 06:49 |
| tripelb | zer010, but I got nothing. is that the behavior if it is not found? | 06:50 |
| SlidingHorn | tripelb, you can send the output to a text file by: grep "pirate*" > filename.txt | 06:50 |
| arunkumar413 | SlidingHorn: how to update only google chrome | 06:50 |
| Joshmuffin | LittleWolf, ubuntu files are stored on / your files and configurations are stored on /home | 06:50 |
| mneptok | LittleWolf: describe the disk currently. how big is it? how is it partitioned? | 06:50 |
| zer010 | yeah, my bad | 06:50 |
| doyle | mneptok: yep, I applied the backports, did apt-get update but still didn't show. Just looking at the url anjilslaire just gave me | 06:50 |
| LittleWolf | My HD is 250 GB, it's split on two partitions, C: (240.6) and D: (9.4 GB) | 06:51 |
| mneptok | LittleWolf: how much of C: is actually in use? | 06:51 |
| Joshmuffin | LittleWolf, how full is c? | 06:51 |
| abhi_nav | google tranliteratio ime is only for win. is ther any way i can use it on ubuntu? (not wine) I mean any hack? | 06:52 |
| zer010 | ..../ IS Ubuntu for all intents and purposes, kinda | 06:52 |
| tripelb | SlidingHorn, the * means all the files | 06:52 |
| Kane_Hart | This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detects an i686 CPU. | 06:52 |
| Kane_Hart | in ESXi | 06:52 |
| LittleWolf | 100GB or so. | 06:52 |
| LittleWolf | I already backed up all my important files. | 06:52 |
| tripelb | SlidingHorn, zer010 I did it on another directory and I'm satisfied I didnt save the email addy. duh | 06:52 |
| tripelb | thanks\ | 06:52 |
| zer010 | Joshmuffin thanks, I guess i got more room than i thought | 06:53 |

| 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. | 07:18 |
| Joshmuffin | Jordan_U, How do I go about doing that? | 07:18 |
| zer010 | sorry | 07:18 |
| indus | Joshmuffin, like Jordan_U says, it probably has to do with how you updated grub 2 | 07:18 |
| zer010 | just meant as a guide to what purpose you want the app for | 07:19 |
| zer010 | ex: Linux Word Processor | 07:19 |
| Joshmuffin | Jordan_U, indus because the old version of ubuntu my distro is based off I cant install the latest grub??? | 07:20 |
| mocramis | hi. does anybody know a tool alowing to watch a process' mémory consumption history ? | 07:20 |
| Joshmuffin | Jordan_U, indus is there a ppa for grub2 i could add? | 07:20 |
| indus | Joshmuffin, you can, how exactly did you install latest grub ? | 07:20 |
| Jordan_U | !backtrack | Joshmuffin | 07:20 |
| ubottu | Joshmuffin: 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) | 07:20 |
| indus | Joshmuffin, from the ubuntu 10.10 install ? | 07:20 |
| Joshmuffin | Jordan_U, indus sudo apt-get install grub2 | 07:20 |
| Joshmuffin | indus, from the backtrack install | 07:21 |
| indus | Joshmuffin, oh ahaha | 07:21 |
| indus | Joshmuffin, i suggest you take the ubuntu 10.04 live cd and install grub 2 | 07:21 |
| Joshmuffin | Indus i currently have no live cds | 07:21 |
| hoare | hi guys | 07:21 |
| indus | Joshmuffin, hmm | 07:22 |

| Joshmuffin | indus, if i made a live USB how would i go about install grub2 to mbr | 07:22 |
| hoare | I am trying to boot ubuntu cd from grub screen. can anyone help? | 07:22 |
| indus | Joshmuffin, yes then we can try that | 07:22 |
| Joshmuffin | indus, would a mint9 live usb do? | 07:22 |
| hoare | I need help about grub. please help me. | 07:22 |
| indus | Joshmuffin, easiest step is from live environment , grub-install /dev/device but that will fail since it will say device not mounted | 07:22 |
| Joshmuffin | indus, and what do i have to do from the usb | 07:22 |
| indus | Joshmuffin, then have to mount the devices | 07:22 |
| Jordan_U | hoare: Could you give more detail about your situation? | 07:22 |
| Joshmuffin | !grub | hoare | 07:23 |
| ubottu | hoare: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 07:23 |
| Joshmuffin | !grub2 | hoare | 07:23 |
| ubottu | hoare: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 07:23 |
| indus | Joshmuffin, why dont you try old grub, works fine sometimes | 07:23 |
| hoare | Jordan_U: I am on grub4dos. and I have mounted CD rom. I just want to boot cd. | 07:23 |
| Joshmuffin | indus, i don't know how to configure it | 07:23 |
| hoare | Jordan_U: the cd in which kernel is at /casper/vmlinuz | 07:23 |
| indus | Joshmuffin, hm ok | 07:23 |
| macguges | hello, I have a question about installing mysqld. Where are the mysql and test databases? I've tried running mysql_install_db after installing the packages, but I'm surprised to not find these databases even after running the script. | 07:24 |
| indus | Joshmuffin, ok get grub 2 on a pen drive , then we can install it right here | 07:24 |
| ikonia | macguges: you don't need to do mysql_install_db | 07:24 |
| indus | Joshmuffin, now how and where i need to see | 07:24 |
| Jordan_U | hoare: You can't if you're booted from the hard drive. (you could with grub2 if it were a PATA CDROM drive) | 07:24 |
| ikonia | macguges: mysql is already configured once you install it from the package manager | 07:24 |
| zer010 | whats the command prompt for irc again? sorry | 07:24 |
| Joshmuffin | indus, sorry what? | 07:24 |
| zer010 | nm/ | 07:25 |
| ikonia | zer010: command prompt for irc ? | 07:25 |
| indus | Joshmuffin, http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/grub2 | 07:25 |
| ikonia | zer010: what do you want to do ? | 07:25 |
| indus | download it | 07:25 |
| phenom | Any one hear word of the upgrade to lucid breaking grub2 to where it won't boot a dual boot partition such as win 7? :/ | 07:25 |
| zer010 | its / | 07:25 |
| phenom | I upgraded to lucid,, and now win7 won't boot. | 07:25 |
| hoare | Jordan_U: partition boot sector is now windows boot.ini and boot.ini loads my grldr (grub loader) which is grub4dos. Do I really need grub2? | 07:25 |
| Jordan_U | phenom: You probably accidentily installed grub to your windows partition. | 07:25 |
| macguges | ikonia: I didn't think I'd need to, but after reading the mysql reference manual I figured I'd try running it to create the mysql and test tables. | 07:25 |
| phenom | ahh Jordan_U | 07:25 |
| phenom | hey | 07:25 |
| Joshmuffin | indus, should i download the .tar.gz | 07:25 |
| ikonia | macguges: they are already created so running it will do nothing | 07:25 |
| phenom | Jordan_U, I did that after the fact | 07:25 |
| zer010 | scratch that just kicked myself lol | 07:26 |
| MeatCurtains | Can someone help me with an update-script | 07:26 |
| Jordan_U | phenom: First run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" and make sure that *no* partitions are selected, only drives like "sda". | 07:26 |
| phenom | After I realized win 7 was borked, I tried to "fix" it, and fear I did do as you said. | 07:26 |
| macguges | ikonia: if those tables already exist, why aren't they listed by mysqlshow or show databases;? | 07:26 |
| phenom | Jordan_U, I did that yesterday | 07:26 |
| zer010 | no fixin win... | 07:26 |
| abhi_nav | !details | MeatCurtains | 07:26 |
| ubottu | MeatCurtains: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 07:26 |
| ikonia | macguges: what are you expecting to see when you do show database | 07:27 |
| zer010 | meat curtains.... | 07:27 |
| MeatCurtains | Basically I have two update scripts I need to combine into one. One to flash a kernel, and one to flash an arm11 library | 07:27 |
| dark1 | hello, how do i sort and merge the contents of file, where the file name start with numeric number, i tryed cat *.txt > merged but where the file name start with 10 comes before 9. | 07:27 |
| macguges | ikonia: the reference manual says I should see three databases: information_schema, mysql and test. I see only information_schema. | 07:28 |
| ikonia | macguges: how did you install mysql ? | 07:28 |
| bullgard | Ubuntu 10.04 writes on the virtual console 1: "T43 login: mountall: Disconnect from Plymouth." Does this message mean that the program Plymouth has not been executed at all? | 07:28 |
| zer010 | i can repartition / right? | 07:28 |
| zer010 | i want to shrink it | 07:29 |
| MeatCurtains | http://pastebin.com/030A0Hmz Those are the 2 scripts I need to combine | 07:29 |
| macguges | ikonia: I installed mysql using the synaptic package manager, selecting the metapcakages mysql-client and mysql-server. Later I uninstalled them completely and selected those packages from the Ubuntu Software Center. | 07:29 |
| zer010 | give /home more space | 07:29 |
| Joshmuffin | indus, are you still there :S :(?? | 07:29 |
| ikonia | macguges: those databases should be there then | 07:30 |
| macguges | ikonia: so you see my problem. | 07:30 |
| debuggerboy | hi | 07:30 |
| ikonia | macguges: you only see the "mysql" database, not the information_schema one | 07:30 |
| zer010 | Joshmuffin, i can repartition / right? | 07:31 |
| ikonia | macguges: who are you logged into mysql as ? | 07:31 |
| zer010 | shrink it? | 07:31 |
| Joshmuffin | zer010, while your at it may aswell kick your computer | 07:31 |
| macguges | ikonia: no, I said I only see the information_schema database. | 07:31 |
| Joshmuffin | zer | 07:31 |
| ikonia | macguges: (what command did you use to login to mysql) | 07:31 |
| zer010 | sorry | 07:31 |
| ikonia | macguges:Hmmm that's concerning as the mysql one is quite important | 07:31 |
| zer010 | nvrmnd | 07:31 |
| Joshmuffin | zer010, do not partition root | 07:31 |
| Joshmuffin | zer010, thats asking for trouble | 07:32 |
| zer010 | ok, thanks | 07:32 |
| macguges | ikonia: both "mysql" and "mysql -u mysql" work. | 07:32 |
| hoare | Jordan_U: partition boot sector is now windows boot.ini and boot.ini loads my grldr (grub loader) which is grub4dos. Do I really need grub2? | 07:32 |
| ikonia | macguges: ok - so that would be why | 07:32 |
| ikonia | macguges: login as mysql -u root | 07:32 |
| * Joshmuffin snorts a line of coke | 07:33 | |

| chrowe | I just installed Lucid server and did the "Use entire disk, set up LVM" partition option but then I entered in 10 GB for the size of the partition because I wanted to make a separate data partition later. Now I have http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=2t6NxkPK and I can't figure out how to free up space for my data partition | 07:58 |
| G-man | can anybody assist me in getting my Nvidia Ge-force 9800 working properly in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - the Lucid Lynx | 07:59 |

| nesto1000 | wildbat, where's the terminal... im having trouble finding it | 07:59 |
| SmokeyD | G-man, install nvidia-settings | 07:59 |
| hotfloppy | qwiksilver711: ALT+F2 and type terminal | 07:59 |

| bartounet | hello | 08:00 |
| hoare | does menuentry{} format belong to grub2? | 08:00 |
| G-man | sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings | 08:00 |
| bartounet | could you help me for Ubuntu netinstall? | 08:00 |
| G-man | k | 08:00 |
| SmokeyD | G-man: yes. Once you installed it, you can find it under System->Administration->Nvidia settings | 08:00 |
| hotfloppy | qwiksilver711: i think the command to use dgen is 'dgen [option] [romname]' | 08:00 |
| rww | hoare: yes | 08:00 |
| SmokeyD | G-man: I am assuming you are using the proprietary nvidia driver? | 08:00 |
| _polto_ | hi, does somebody know any tools like ubuntu-tweek, but to personalise an ubuntu live-cd and installation cd? (I need to change some packages, do some preconfig, ...) | 08:00 |
| qwiksilver711 | so like dgen run bomberman | 08:00 |
| hoare | rww: so it does not exist in prior grubs. | 08:00 |
| SmokeyD | if not, first go to System->Administration->Hardware drivers | 08:01 |
| rww | hoare: no idea. I know it exists in grub2 | 08:01 |
| hoare | oh that's not godo | 08:01 |
| hoare | *good | 08:01 |
| G-man | says I've already downloaded it | 08:01 |
| nesto1000 | wildbat, its asking for a password | 08:01 |
| SmokeyD | G-man: there you can check for other drivers, and it should say if you've got the nvidia driver. | 08:01 |
| bartounet | no idea ? | 08:01 |
| SmokeyD | G-man: ok | 08:01 |
| wildbat | nesto1000, enter your password then ... | 08:01 |
| SmokeyD | G-man: then install nvidia-settings and start it | 08:01 |

| wildbat | chrowe, it looks you have 10GB Linux and the rest is LVM in a extended paritition | 08:02 |
| nesto1000 | should i copy and past? | 08:02 |

| bullgard | Ubuntu 10.04 writes on the virtual console 1: "T43 login: mountall: Disconnect from Plymouth." Does this message mean that the program Plymouth has not been executed at all? | 08:10 |
| wildbat | jefimenko, if you esc ~ there is option to select step that give you root shell or try alt+f2,3,4? | 08:11 |
| chrowe | wildbat: thanks, i'll take a look | 08:11 |
| nesto1000 | wildbat, do i do that in the terminal? | 08:11 |
| G-man | It appears that your graphics driver does not support the necessary extensions to use this tool. Do you want to use your graphics driver vendor's tool instead? | 08:11 |
| wildbat | nesto1000, yes | 08:11 |
| bartounet | jefimenko> yes but i want install over ssh because i have not the server at home, it is dedicated server | 08:11 |
| G-man | thats what it says, when i try to setup dual view | 08:11 |
| bartounet | jefimenko> i want to control install remotely | 08:12 |
| nesto1000 | wildbat, I'm a little confused | 08:12 |
| sercik | vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 08:12 |
| jefimenko | bartounet: i didn't get your question... i was talking to wildbat | 08:12 |
| nesto1000 | wildbat, do i just type what you put letter for letter? | 08:13 |
| bartounet | jefimenko, ha excuse me | 08:13 |
| bartounet | do you know if it is possible ton control netinstall installation over ssh on ubuntu?? | 08:13 |
| jefimenko | bartounet: i don't think so | 08:13 |
| wildbat | nesto1000, nope ~ you need you specify your mount point , e.g. /media/mydir | 08:14 |
| bartounet | on suse it is very easy whit this kernel option for exemple... kernel /boot/vmlinuz.install usessh=1 sshpassword= »pass » install=http://204.152.191.7/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source hostip=192.168.1.1 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=192.168.1.254 nameserver=192.168.1.254 | 08:14 |
| wildbat | nesto1000, it have to be directory | 08:14 |
| jefimenko | bartounet: i have a KVM switch hooked up to my server, so i can access the server and see the bootup process through the KVM | 08:14 |
| WhiteFlower | Best material on rsync command except the ubuntu manual. | 08:14 |
| jefimenko | bartounet: this is why the netinstall works for me | 08:14 |
| nesto1000 | wildbat, how to i know what to put? | 08:14 |
| wildbat | nesto1000, ok put this "mkdir -p /media/sda1 && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1" | 08:15 |

| ActionParsnip | Hoare: yes | 08:21 |
| nesto1000 | Ahhh!!!! | 08:21 |
| hoare | ActionParsnip: do you know how can I do that? I use cdrom --init and then root (cd0) --> i get disk read error. | 08:21 |
| nesto1000 | wildbat, thank you so much!!! | 08:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Hoare: not sure about cds actually, sorry | 08:22 |
| nesto1000 | wildbat, i really appreciate your help!! You're a life saver! | 08:22 |
| wildbat | nesto1000, you're welcome | 08:22 |
| hoare | ActionParsnip: actually the question is about any distro. I could not load anything from CDs. | 08:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Hoare: I know there are grub floppys to boot cds though | 08:22 |
| hoare | ActionParsnip: actually I'm on grub4dos with a grub1 image. | 08:22 |
| jefimenko | bartounet: i'm not sure that there is any option | 08:22 |
| hoare | ActionParsnip: sadly grub4dos does not have grub2 image. | 08:23 |
| wildbat | hoare, you have to load the kernel and the initrd | 08:23 |
| jefimenko | bartounet: it might be possible to do a preseeded netinstall, setting up grub to automatically start up from the netinstall kernel and initrd | 08:23 |
| nesto1000 | wildbat, one more quick question... how can I play mkv video on ubuntu? | 08:23 |
| jefimenko | bartounet: that way you can just reboot your system and it will automatically start the install | 08:24 |
| hoare | wildbat: I know. | 08:24 |
| jefimenko | bartounet: but there is of course a risk involved | 08:24 |
| hoare | wildbat: however. if cd could not be read you cannot load the kernel from cd. | 08:24 |

| ActionParsnip | wildbat: ok are there any guides for the board.? You may need some boot options or some conf files jigging. Suspend can be a real pain to get nice | 08:33 |
| ActionParsnip | X-Raimo: is that what a new user has? This is why a new user can help, you can compare settings if a new user can ssh ok. | 08:34 |

| Hatl | G-man: try running nvidia-xconfig | 08:45 |

| G-man | sudo apt-get install nvida-settings .... i get message E: Coudln't find package nvidia | 08:49 |
| ninwa | YankDownUnder, I've got it figured out, actually. It is the wallpaper plugin, however gnome draws the desktop over-top of it so you have to edit "show_desktop" value in gconf to false first, so it doesn't write over compiz's | 08:49 |
| ninwa | YankDownUnder, you pointed me in the right direction with turning on wallpapers didnt see it down there :) cheers | 08:50 |

| YankDownUnder | G-man, sudo apt-get update | 08:52 |
| iceroot | pehden: look at the server log, run namp from the client to see if the port is open | 08:53 |

| tsimpson | pehden: how are you attempting to connect? | 08:55 |
| pehden | with an icr client | 08:55 |
| tsimpson | pehden: by IP, hostname? what? | 08:55 |
| pehden | port 9999.. | 08:55 |
| pehden | Connection failed. Error: Connection timed out | 08:55 |
| pehden | server domain | 08:55 |
| tsimpson | as you can see, it's port 6665, not 9999 | 08:55 |
| tsimpson | and it's only listening on 127.0.0.1 (localhost) | 08:56 |
| pehden | i know its running on all those ports | 08:56 |
| tsimpson | well, it's only running on localhost, so unless your server domain resolves to 127.0.0.1 it won't work | 08:57 |
| MauL^ | my ubuntu (v9) gives very low volume.. how can I fix that ? | 08:57 |
| pehden | hmm so i need to change what so it will listen to 0:0:0:0 | 08:57 |
| tsimpson | pehden: exactly | 08:58 |

| pehden | wait found it | 09:00 |
| tsimpson | pehden: look for something like "127.0.0.1" or "localhost", or "interface" | 09:00 |
| Rogan | hi folks. Just installed 10.04 release on an HP6730b laptop | 09:00 |
| iceroot | pehden: 127.0.0.1 is lo-interface not eth-interface, so its not using the network | 09:00 |
| G-man | Downunderyank: thanks boss | 09:00 |
| Rogan | but am struggling with performance issues | 09:00 |
| G-man | It's working great | 09:00 |
| G-man | :) | 09:00 |
| YankDownUnder | G-man, Yer welcome matey | 09:01 |
| Rogan | problem seems to be related to the cpufreq, which will not scale | 09:01 |
| pehden | iceroot: ok should i change it to the hostname or domain name | 09:01 |
| iceroot | pehden: hostname which is in /etc/hosts | 09:01 |
| Rogan | it is currently set at 800MHz, which is the lowest possible setting, and regardless of what I do, it will not go up to full speed (or anything other than 800) | 09:01 |
| Rogan | any ideas? | 09:01 |
| iceroot | pehden: that is resolving the hostname to the ip so the server is running on eth0 | 09:02 |
| jo_ | Does anybody know where to find a ubuntu developpers channel ? | 09:02 |
| iceroot | Rogan: loading the kernel with acpi_cpufreq? | 09:02 |
| rww | jo_: why? | 09:02 |
| iceroot | jo_: #ubuntu-dev i guess | 09:02 |
| pehden | iceroot: so i would use the hostname which is also my servers domain | 09:02 |
| iceroot | pehden: correct, if ysou have a static ip you can also use the ip | 09:03 |
| wildbat | chrowe, y dn't you use gparted? | 09:03 |
| jo_ | Thanks! I want to ask what is required to get a pice of software in the ubuntu repositories. | 09:03 |

| Guest32778 | Ozeuss, english pls | 09:09 |
| bazhang | Guest32778, that is english | 09:09 |
| bobthemilkman | wildbat: I'm going to backup all of the data on this partition and then try to unmount it and the ndo that. | 09:09 |
| bobthemilkman | It might be an HDD failure. | 09:09 |
| Sangeeth | Wildbat : I used gparted to edit my partitions... I added up some 8 GB to my existing linux partition and moved my partition to left... So, my data was copied to the left partition and my partition is extended... But, i think the copied data in the right end is not deleted.... | 09:10 |
| YankDownUnder | Ozeuss, Have you considered (especially after doing upgrades) - of poking through yer ~./config and ~./cache and blowing out some of the stale and old bits? | 09:10 |
| Sangeeth | wildbat : So, now i got some 15 GB partition filled up till 14 GB... I got a log file, you wanna view it??? | 09:11 |
| wildbat | Sangeeth, pastebinit | 09:11 |
| Ozeuss | YankDownUnder, I mved some config files, but I'll try the same for .cache | 09:11 |
| bobthemilkman | sudo tar cvf /home.tar /home --preserve is the correct command, right? | 09:11 |
| Sangeeth | wildbat : I couldn't get you... | 09:12 |

| pehden | *now | 09:13 |
| iceroot | pehden: ok use the ip | 09:13 |
| wildbat | bobthemilkman, i think it alright ~ | 09:13 |
| pehden | iceroot: the lan ip? | 09:13 |
| bobthemilkman | So this smart scan thing, where can I learn more about it? I'm not familiar. | 09:13 |
| Rogan | iceroot: How do I check if it is loaded? I tried lsmod | grep cpufreq, and got nothing | 09:14 |
| Sangeeth | wildbat : http://paste.ubuntu.com/454864/ | 09:15 |
| Juniksz | Hello! If I installed something from source code, it does not automatically appear in the Menu, Why? | 09:16 |
| Rogan | iceroot: I do have /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies, etc | 09:16 |
| Guest32778 | Juniksz, what did you install | 09:16 |
| Xaratas | hi. where can i "grap" the event user is idel for x minutes? which starts for example the screensaver. | 09:16 |
| Sangeeth | wildbat : I got my Ubuntu OS running, but the stored space has to be some 7 GB, but got 14 GB... Thus, i concluded that the data is totally copied for moving but not deleted after copying... | 09:16 |
| === mo__ is now known as mo- | ||
| iceroot | Rogan: lsmod is showing me acpi_cpufreq | 09:17 |
| iceroot | Rogan: so you have to install acpi_cpufreq and append it to the grub line after silent | 09:18 |
| iceroot | Rogan: maybe there is another way to load a modul, i only know the way with grub | 09:18 |
| iceroot | pehden: yes, the ip from eth0 | 09:18 |
| Juniksz | Guest32778: Why I installed from that? because in Deb file is not available the latest release. | 09:18 |
| pehden | ok | 09:18 |
| wildbat | Sangeeth, no your resizing failed ~ you need to do fsck to fix that while it is not mounting | 09:19 |
| Juniksz | Guest32778: Sorry i'm tired... i've installed wormux | 09:19 |
| Sangeeth | wildcat : But, i got the expected size... | 09:19 |
| pehden | iceroot: that worked thanks now i got to set up channels | 09:19 |
| Juniksz | Guest32778: but i can't find in the "lancelot" or in the "KMenu" | 09:20 |
| wildbat | Sangeeth, that is the partition table ~ your fs isn't "update" | 09:20 |
| Xaratas | <iceroot> Rogan: maybe there is another way to load a modul, i only know the way with grub < rc.local should do tho job | 09:20 |

| bobthemilkman | That was with a sudo tar | 09:21 |
| Rogan | iceroot: are you on 10.04? | 09:21 |

| caac | so anyone who's got the same issue? | 10:36 |
| caac | the last applet you clicked has a red glow on top of it | 10:36 |

| X3 | Gryllida: http://hacktux.com/irc/client | 10:46 |
| Gryllida | I'm lost here, too crowded, didn't see ircii suggestion | 10:46 |
| bazhang | Gryllida, much less developed supported than weechat and irssi though | 10:46 |
| Gryllida | bazhang: my main concern is to always see win/tab list | 10:46 |
| X3 | Gryllida: http://www.ircreviews.org/clients/platforms-unix.html | 10:46 |
| rww | Gryllida: as a pre-emptive strike for when someone recommends you bitchx: | 10:47 |
| rww | !bitchx | 10:47 |
| ubottu | bitchx (also known as ircii-pana) was dropped from Debian and subsequently Ubuntu (see: http://dy.fi/afb). Consider using irssi or weechat instead. | 10:47 |
| Gryllida | ? | 10:47 |
| rww | lol, both of those links just given do | 10:47 |
| Black_Prince | !info fontconfig | 10:47 |
| ubottu | fontconfig (source: fontconfig): generic font configuration library - support binaries. In component main, is optional. Version 2.8.0-2ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 152 kB, installed size 544 kB | 10:47 |
| VCoolio | Gryllida: there is a plugin for weechat that show tabs; no doubt there is something like it for irssi too | 10:47 |
| Gryllida | ok | 10:47 |
| X3 | Gryllida: do you know how to build a deb from any svn trunk? | 10:48 |
| bazhang | Gryllida, why not explore in irssi channel as well | 10:48 |

| Gryllida | X3: 1) download it from svn 2) extract to usr/lib/ 3) run it --- this is how I did with firefox deb - no guarantee that it can work for any deb though | 10:49 |
| rww | and no guarantee that your hacked-together install won't go horribly wrong when you try to upgrade to the next Ubuntu version | 10:50 |
| X3 | Gryllida: this svn trunk doesnt work like that | 10:50 |
| X3 | Gryllida: its xbmc svn trunk | 10:50 |
| bazhang | X3, why that method | 10:50 |
| X3 | bazhang: because compiling from svn doesnt run over the preinstalled version, so need to make a deb to install it over the currently installed packages from ppa | 10:52 |
| bazhang | X3, some newer greater feature? | 10:52 |
| Gryllida | X3: you have to download it first anyway, maybe try #svn | 10:53 |
| X3 | bazhang: the compile use to work b4 the xbmc changes to the addons stuff now the same compile method included on readme doesnt work | 10:53 |
| X3 | bazhang & Grylida: I have the svn downloaded already just need help sorting tis out how to build a deb from svn | 10:54 |
| bazhang | X3, sorry, my question was more on what was needed over the PPA version (ie not sufficient) | 10:54 |
| Gryllida | X3: IDK, man make, extract it first, but if it doesn't have build instructions then it | 10:55 |
| X3 | svn ppa is bleeding edge whch is fixing issues that the ppa has | 10:55 |
| Gryllida | s badly progrmmed | 10:55 |
| VCoolio | X3: check if there is a README file; normally it's ./autogen.sh && make && make install, but if you replace the last with checkinstall it makes a deb for you | 10:55 |
| elyob | rww: Thanks for that ... next question .. any idea how /var/www/wtmp gets populated?! I have a script that sends me a message via Growl whenever anyone logs into one of my servers, but also want to add in the users IP address. | 10:56 |
| X3 | VCoolio: ok just replace ./autogen.sh && make && make install with ./autogen.sh && make && checkinstall does it? | 10:56 |
| elyob | (external IP address) .. I am guessing that I may be able to use the same systems that this uses. | 10:56 |
| X3 | lemme check if it has that | 10:57 |
| VCoolio | X3: yes, first build like normal, then install with sudo checkinstall; install checkinstall first | 10:57 |

| Dazzled | Is it allowed to post a single line of scripting to troubleshoot it? | 11:00 |
| airtonix | Dazzled, this isn't a scripting channel | 11:01 |
| AAA | Dazzled one line is good | 11:01 |
| Dazzled | it works when I 'cd' to the dir, and then run the command | 11:01 |
| will | #python | 11:01 |
| arand | I've got midi_kbd+jack+qsynth+soundfont setup for playing, but I'm looking for a way to transpose the midi somewhere along the route, is there something able to do this easily (I've looked but not found anything).. | 11:01 |
| Dazzled | [root@telefooncentrale ~]# /etc/init.d/asterisk "show channels" | 11:02 |
| Dazzled | Usage: asterisk {start|stop|status|restart|reload} | 11:02 |

| will | does anyone know python here | 11:02 |
| dotblank | arand, lmms* | 11:02 |
| airtonix | will, the python channel does | 11:02 |
| AAA | Dazzled your question answers itself | 11:02 |
| dotblank | will, try #python | 11:02 |
| Gnea | !python | 11:02 |
| ubottu | python is a popular Object Oriented scripting language included in Ubuntu. For more on Python please see http://www.python.org | 11:02 |
| will | it won't let me join | 11:02 |
| unop | will, /join #python | 11:02 |
| arand | dotblank: I'll have a look, cheers. | 11:02 |
| Dazzled | when I cd to ect/init.d, it does work | 11:02 |
| H__ | Question : are there known issues with recent NetworkManager ? My 10.04 hang at boot, I disabled NFS entries from fstab (via bootcd) now system starts up with no networking. Manual ifconfig/route/resolv works fine though. Any hints ? | 11:03 |
| will | you need to be identified with services | 11:03 |
| will | is what it says | 11:03 |
| unop | will, you might have to register on freenode first. ask in #freenode about that. | 11:03 |
| Xaratas | then do it will | 11:03 |
| Gnea | will: /join #freenode they can tell you how to do that | 11:03 |
| VCoolio | Dazzled: do 'which asterisk' to see what is executed | 11:03 |
| airtonix | H__, investigate /etc/Network-Manager or /etc/NetworkManager | 11:03 |
| rww | ubottu: tell will about register | 11:03 |
| ubottu | will, please see my private message | 11:03 |
| AAA | Dazzled "show channels" is not a 'start command' but rather a command issued by $ asterisk -r after starting gthe service | 11:03 |
| H__ | airtonix: ok | 11:03 |
| data | hi guys. I just reinstalled ubuntu 10.04 and have some trouble with Xorg. I can't do fullscreen in mplayer and glxgears, glxinfo etc. all crash with a segmentation fault. I have a radeon x600, but modprobe fglx says "no such device" | 11:03 |
| Dazzled | VCoolio: Sorry, I don't understand the which command, but I'll look it up | 11:04 |
| Dazzled | AAA: the actual script is "sip reload" | 11:04 |
| abhinesh | data :use ubuntu 9.1 | 11:04 |
| Xaratas | fglx is propably not installed in the dafault ubuntu | 11:04 |
| Dazzled | AAA: but I didn't want to break anything :) | 11:04 |
| data | i installed it... otherwise it would be "no such module" | 11:04 |

| === will is now known as wpots | ||
| candyban | Helloer, you can add the parameter "init=/bin/bash" to the kernel at boot (don't forget to remove splash quiet) | 11:05 |
| Xaratas | hm watch the logs what is /dev/dri ? | 11:06 |
| H__ | airtonix: managed=false looks not right. Any idea where I can find what process changed that, and when and why ? | 11:06 |
| VCoolio | Dazzled: to see what binary / script is executed with a command, you can do 'which something' and you'll get the path to something; if you run asterisk I think something like /usr/bin/asterisk is executed, not /etc/init.d/asterisk | 11:06 |
| === mocramis__ is now known as _mocramis | ||
| === _mocramis is now known as Mocramis | ||
| AAA | Dazzled you are a bit confused. first, stuf in /etc/init.d/ are scripts for starting/stoping services. once that service is started you can interact with it. in your case, asterisk, you will start the service $ service asterisk start, or /etc/init.d/asterisk start. and then use $ asterisk -r to connect to that service and issue your sip reload commands and the like | 11:06 |

| H__ | airtonix: ok. system-connections/ is empty (what i expected it to be). I'm wondering why NetworkManager decided not to use networking anymore. I'll edit nm-system-settings.conf and set managed=true and reboot (tonight). | 11:10 |

| brijithmac1 | VCoolio:it will change my desktop back ground | 11:11 |
| unop | brijithmac1, so you're basically wanting to run this script every 60 seconds?? | 11:11 |
| airtonix | H__, that line is the same on my system. i wouldn't change it | 11:11 |
| brijithmac1 | VCoolio:/home/brijith/Desktop/error.txt is just for testing | 11:11 |
| brijithmac1 | unop:yes | 11:11 |
| wildbat | Sangeeth, locate the line with the word "swap" and update the UUID from that line | 11:11 |
| airtonix | H__, how bout i post my auto eth0 for you to use ? | 11:11 |
| VCoolio | brijithmac1: you'll need full paths in cron, and unless it's executable you'll need /bin/sh in front of it too | 11:12 |
| unop | brijithmac1, chmod +x /home/brijith/bin/starwall; while :; do /home/brijith/bin/starwall; sleep 60; done | 11:12 |
| Dynetrekk | hi, i'm considering using either ubuntu or ubuntu server. I have an old desktop I want to use ubuntu on, but I will mainly be using it as a file server; however, I'd also like to be able to do some minimal GUI stuff on it, like firefox | 11:12 |
| Helloer | candyban i dont know:P | 11:12 |
| unop | brijithmac1, your crontab isn't working because you haven't set DISPLAY, i presume. You need that set to affect GUI environments. | 11:13 |
| brijithmac1 | VCoolio: unop: http://pastebin.com/JESi6sd7 | 11:13 |
| VCoolio | unop: where do I find info on while : ? | 11:13 |
| AAA | Dynetrekk fluxbox is an great lightweight window manager. as is windowmaker | 11:13 |
| brijithmac1 | VCoolio: unop:i sthe script I want to run | 11:13 |
| Dynetrekk | AAA: but ubuntu, or ubuntu server? | 11:13 |
| Sangeeth | wildbat : I had located, http://paste.ubuntu.com/454908/ this has the contents of the file.... What are al to be updated in the SWAP line?? | 11:13 |
| brijithmac1 | unop:that script is executable | 11:13 |
| AAA | brijithmac1 I'd say server and then add the light gui stuff by apt | 11:14 |
| unop | VCoolio, ''help :'' # : is a no-op command like true ... so that's another way of writing ' while true; do ...' | 11:14 |
| unop | brijithmac1, right, so run the script like i showed you -- not using crontab. | 11:14 |
| brijithmac1 | unop:how to set the DISPLAY | 11:14 |
| airtonix | H__, have you tried to add a new wired connection profile using nm-applet ? | 11:14 |
| ^boy_palcomtech^ | help me please | 11:14 |
| bosky101 | AAA, when i used 'useradd -s /bin/bash -m /home/tempuser tempuser' it didnt create $HOME/.ssh . is there some flag ive missed in useradd? | 11:15 |
| Dynetrekk | AAA: sounds good then... the server edition has less stuff in it? | 11:15 |
| fishcooker | AAA: Dynetrekk : i've tried fluxbox too, but u should give openbox a try... | 11:15 |
| brijithmac1 | unop: I know that but ... Each time login I have to run it manually rt ?? | 11:15 |

| === Weust`afk is now known as Weust` | ||
| unop | brijithmac1, it's better to launch the script in your environment than to use crontab -- because DISPLAY has to be set here and that can vary. | 11:15 |
| brijithmac1 | unop: Thats the reason why I am going for crontab | 11:15 |
| AAA | bosky101 I think adduser adds stuff from /etc/skel or at least it used to | 11:15 |
| Dynetrekk | fishcooker: anything will do - I won't use it much anyway. it needs to run firefox and vim :) | 11:16 |
| unop | brijithmac1, yes, you'll need to be logged in anyway -- even with the crontab approach to work. | 11:16 |
| wildbat | Sangeeth, the last line it is ~ just update the UUID to the new one that you get from blkid | 11:16 |
| Sangeeth | wildbat : What are to be edited in the SWAP line... | 11:16 |
| brijithmac1 | unop:no... | 11:16 |
| AAA | Dynetrekk I've not used ubuntu-server for several releases. but that is the jist | 11:16 |
| unop | brijithmac1, yes ... | 11:16 |
| brijithmac1 | unop:Waht I am saying is | 11:16 |
| Dynetrekk | AAA: sounds good for my nefarious purposes | 11:16 |
| AAA | Dynetrekk maybe just screen and links2 will suit you then? | 11:17 |
| elyob | rww: Well, it is int32_t ut_addr_v6[4] that I want, but am not sure if this gets populated to na ccessible variable sim | 11:17 |
| brijithmac1 | unop:if I use as you said with sleep command etc and run it manually | 11:17 |
| fishcooker | Dynetrekk : u wont take much effort too.. n irc.client too | 11:17 |
| brijithmac1 | unop:every time have to run it manually | 11:17 |
| elyob | rww: Well, it is int32_t ut_addr_v6[4] that I want, but am not sure if this gets populated to an accessible variable like $HOST etc | 11:17 |
| Dynetrekk | AAA: screen and links2? what is that? | 11:17 |
| Sangeeth | wildbat : But, i have the file to be readonly!!!?? | 11:17 |
| brijithmac1 | unop:it will not start automatically rt ? | 11:17 |
| unop | brijithmac1, well, you can have the script launched automatically .. | 11:17 |

| ubottu | Sangeeth: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 11:19 |
| Dynetrekk | AAA: ah, I know links, or lynx, I've sen one of them before. I'd prefer firefox, I'd say. | 11:19 |
| anonymous_ | can anyone tell me why getch() doesn't work in linux? what 's the alternative command ? | 11:19 |
| wildbat | Sangeeth, gksu is GUI version of sudo | 11:19 |
| AAA | Dazzled hack the system! | 11:19 |
| AAA | Dynetrekk hehe, just depends on how minimal you want to go :) | 11:19 |
| unop | brijithmac1, because the DISPLAY environment variable is not set. like i said, it needs to be set if you are going to affect the GUI. | 11:19 |
| Sangeeth | Thanks all! | 11:19 |
| Dynetrekk | AAA: sure, but if I have to learn new stuff, it will take me more effort than I'd care to. | 11:20 |
| Dynetrekk | AAA: I will of course install ssh-server and tell it what to do from my laptop ASAP anyway. | 11:20 |
| redballoon | hey all, I'm looking for a graphic flash editor under ubuntu. | 11:20 |
| unop | brijithmac1, and since the DISPLAY can vary -- it's better to have your GUI invoke the script rather than use crontab. | 11:20 |
| AAA | Dynetrekk effort + learning = hacking = good | 11:20 |
| Dynetrekk | AAA: I agree, for most purposes | 11:20 |
| AAA | hacking is not derogative | 11:21 |
| Dynetrekk | AAA: is it problematic to set up network services on ubuntu desktop? | 11:21 |
| Dynetrekk | AAA: I agree :) | 11:21 |
| Astro_ | Anybody know how to reinstall windows from ubuntu without a disk or flash drive? | 11:21 |
| brijithmac1 | unop:you said we can set DISPLAY in cron. can you say how ? | 11:21 |
| Dynetrekk | AAA: I'll have to look up derogative to be sure, but sounds right | 11:21 |
| AAA | Dynetrekk no. ifconfig and man are your friends | 11:21 |
| Guest77318 | Astro_, y | 11:21 |
| VCoolio | brijithmac1: add a line on top like: DISPLAY=:0.0 | 11:22 |
| redballoon | Astro_, possibly via firewire? | 11:22 |
| brijithmac1 | VCoolio:ok Let me check | 11:22 |
| Astro_ | New hard drive. Big enough that I wanna dual boot it. Got no firewire, no disks big enough to hold windows, no flash drives. Just gparted and the internet. | 11:22 |
| H__ | airtonix: the kde applet just says all networking is disabled. That's why I resorted to using ifconfig and friends. | 11:23 |
| Dynetrekk | AAA: great, thanks... I'm thinking about SSH and possibly some network file share to have at home | 11:23 |
| VCoolio | brijithmac1: do "echo $DISPLAY" to see what you need for :0.0, probably the same though | 11:23 |
| unop | brijithmac1, or change your crontab line to. */1 * * * * DISPLAY=:0.0 /home/brijith/bin/starwall | 11:23 |
| redballoon | Astro_, maybe install it on your old harddrive, then mount that drive from the new one, and shift windows onto it from there? | 11:23 |
| Dynetrekk | AAA: is the alternate install CD faster? | 11:24 |
| Astro_ | Don't have the old hard drive either. | 11:24 |
| H__ | airtonix: about your auto eth0 part, please post :) | 11:24 |
| Astro_ | Isn't there a way to just put the boot files onto a partition and boot from that to install? | 11:24 |
| redballoon | Has anyone had any success using flex builder? | 11:24 |
| AAA | Dynetrekk less than an hour either way | 11:24 |
| brijithmac1 | unop: */1 * * * * DISPLAY=:0.0;/home/brijith/bin/starwall is any thing wrong in this line | 11:25 |
| Dynetrekk | AAA: I'll try alternate just for the hacking of it then | 11:25 |
| airtonix | H__, http://pastebin.com/1HSg9rmP | 11:25 |
| Guest77318 | later guys happy getting ubuntu to work | 11:25 |
| redballoon | Astro_, possibly. if you were to put the iso onto a partition, then use a usbstick to instruct your computer to mount the iso? | 11:25 |
| abuayyoub | Hello everyone. | 11:26 |
| abuayyoub | Anyone here know anything about a program called NZBGet? been trying for weeks to find someone who can help me with a problem I am having./ | 11:26 |
| unop | brijithmac1, yes, you've used two commands there by introducing the ';' -- | 11:26 |
| unop | brijithmac1, use it like i showed you. | 11:26 |
| Astro_ | So the bottom line is I gotta go get a usb stick or a dvd huh. | 11:26 |
| AAA | Dynetrekk I like your style | 11:26 |
| redballoon | Or an sd card maybe. Don't know how that would work though | 11:27 |
| H__ | airtonix: thanks. I'll use it. However I think it won't solve the issue, I assume networkmanager decided to remove the one that was there for unknown reason. I'll find out tonight ;-) Thanks for your time and help so far. | 11:27 |
| X3 | Astro_: without a imput with the data you can only install via network | 11:27 |
| AAA | brijithmac1 don't you want to export that DISPLAY var? | 11:27 |
| brijithmac1 | unop: AAA: do I need to export ?? | 11:28 |
| Astro_ | For a free operating system, Linux has cost me quite a bit of money.... Ok thanks dudes. I'm off to find a usb thingy. | 11:28 |
| AAA | brijithmac1 YES | 11:28 |
| unop | brijithmac1, not if you use it on the same line. | 11:28 |
| X3 | astro you can use network as well | 11:29 |
| AAA | unop brijithmac1 but the directive makes no sense to bash | 11:29 |
| Sangeeth | wildbat : Thanks... I got the swap activated... Also, thanks that i learned some other things... :D | 11:29 |
| X3 | not as simple | 11:29 |
| unop | AAA, what directive? | 11:29 |
| indus | !tv | 11:29 |
| ubottu | http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), Kaffeine, kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Me-TV (GNOME), Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out | 11:29 |
| AAA | unop DISPLAY | 11:29 |
| indus | !tv > thalib | 11:29 |
| ubottu | thalib, please see my private message | 11:29 |
| unop | AAA, you mean like this. DISPLAY=blah command ?? | 11:29 |
| brijithmac1 | unop: AAA:guys now the script is running. I can see the log in redirected fie. but desktop wallpaper is not changing | 11:29 |
| wildbat | Sangeeth, you're welcome | 11:29 |
| AAA | unop brijithmac1 does $ env show that DISPLAY var? | 11:29 |
| unop | AAA, and often, it is not bash that is used to run cron .. | 11:29 |
| Sangeeth | wildbat : I set the parameters to be, pass = 1, dump =0, option=sw, is it, OK?... | 11:30 |
| AAA | unop default 10.4 is though | 11:30 |
| brijithmac1 | AAA: DISPLAY=:0.0 | 11:30 |
| unop | AAA, in either case, that's a valid command. | 11:30 |
| AAA | unop got it | 11:30 |
| Sangeeth | wildbat : Shall i feel free to contact you anytime, in case of any doubts??? | 11:30 |
| wildbat | Sangeeth, ya ~ but better hit on the channel ~ i am no expert ;p | 11:31 |
| unop | brijithmac1, what was the exact command you used. and what is $DISPLAY according to your session, now? | 11:31 |
| candyban | Is there information available on upstart (and the way the thing actually works/is implemented)? | 11:31 |
| Sangeeth | wildbat : But, you are better than me ;-) | 11:32 |
| AAA | !upstart | candyban | 11:32 |
| ubottu | candyban: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 11:32 |
| candyban | AAA, I went there, but it's not very useful | 11:32 |
| MoKhSu | hi | 11:32 |
| Sangeeth | Is there anyway to install linux mobile os or android mobile os, on any phone we like??? | 11:32 |
| AAA | candyban meh, still catching up here too | 11:32 |
| brijithmac1 | unop:http://pastebin.com/JESi6sd7 is the starwall script | 11:32 |
| rww | ubottu: ot | Sangeeth | 11:33 |
| ubottu | Sangeeth: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 11:33 |
| Sangeeth | ubottu : Sorry!!! | 11:33 |
| AAA | Sangeeth just get the android sdk and fastboot stuff | 11:33 |
| unop | brijithmac1, pastebin this. crontab -l; echo $DISPLAY | 11:33 |
| the-killer | Hello all i cant startx i have nvidia 325m gt i installed rthe driver X cant start anymore | 11:34 |
| candyban | AAA, I can't understand that something that vital (startup of system) is so poorly documented | 11:34 |
| brijithmac1 | unop:http://pastebin.com/DckGDDF7 | 11:34 |
| brijithmac1 | the second line is not working ... gconftool -t string -s /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /home/brijith/kstar.png | 11:35 |

| mcs-che | hi to all; | 11:35 |
| mcs-che | who can help me | 11:35 |
| X3 | candyban: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 11:35 |
| candyban | X3, I went there ... and it's not useful | 11:35 |
| mcs-che | http://pastebin.com/gA24eqfJ | 11:35 |
| unop | brijithmac1, is your Desktop/error.txt being populated? | 11:36 |
| brijithmac1 | unop:yes | 11:36 |
| X3 | candyban: look at wiki | 11:36 |
| mcs-che | I can't understand that I must do | 11:36 |
| brijithmac1 | unop:see this http://pastebin.com/BVpFCwtp | 11:36 |
| AAA | candyban oh and, 10.4 has no inittab | 11:36 |
| unop | brijithmac1, I don't know what this means. | 11:37 |
| subone | I'm using bluetooth stereo headphones with my system. How can I tell by the cli if the headphones are in use so I can control their volume rather than Master volume (which doesn't effect the headphone volume) by the cli? | 11:37 |
| candyban | AAA, that has been removed since a long time ... 7.04 or so? | 11:37 |
| brijithmac1 | unop:leave the meaning of that content . Actually its working | 11:37 |
| AAA | candyban heh, just saying... | 11:37 |
| brijithmac1 | unop: it is the out put when it run properly | 11:38 |
| mcs-che | who can help? | 11:38 |
| unop | brijithmac1, does your gconftool line work when run under a shell? | 11:38 |
| candyban | AAA, they replaced SysV with upstart ... if that means inittab goes, I have no problem with it IF they have good docs as to how it works now | 11:38 |
| brijithmac1 | unop:I have treid the same script from terminal and its working file | 11:39 |
| unop | brijithmac1, I have to leave now, you're on the right track - hope someone else can help you sort this. | 11:39 |
| AAA | candyban agreed | 11:39 |
| X3 | candyban: the wiki seems adquate | 11:39 |
| candyban | X3, I looked at the wiki ... but I can't find e.g. which service it starts first ... how it "resolves" dependencies etc | 11:39 |
| brijithmac1 | unop:sure no problem | 11:39 |
| X3 | candyban: well dont they have a channel or email to ask the question | 11:39 |
| AAA | candyban not seeing S.$ and K.$ in init.d/ is scarey | 11:40 |
| X3 | candyban: I would help if I knew how to | 11:40 |
| candyban | X3, perhaps you can point me to the relevant page on the wiki. I have 2 scripts which have "Required-Start: $network" ... they FAIL because the network is not started "yet" | 11:40 |
| AAA | k"ARG1 = 'SELECT prefix") in new stack | 11:41 |
| candyban | X3, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't ... so I added a 5 seconds delay in 1 script (changing it from S20 to S60 didn't work either) and that seems to work | 11:42 |
| AAA | candyban X3 does /etc/rc.local still work after upstart? | 11:42 |
| candyban | X3, the main benefit of Linux over Windows is reliability ... if you can't even rely on the fact that services get started or not | 11:43 |
| X3 | candyban: services are started either /etc/init.d/appname start | stop | restart or service appname start | stop |restart | 11:43 |
| candyban | AAA, rc.local works as before | 11:43 |
| X3 | so network would be | 11:43 |
| X3 | ser | 11:43 |
| AAA | candyban so why not put your failsafe script there? | 11:43 |
| X3 | candyban: service networking start or /etc/init.d/networking start | 11:44 |
| candyban | AAA, because that is silly ...it should work properly | 11:44 |
| AAA | candyban ah, the classic debate | 11:44 |
| candyban | AAA, if I have to do everything myself and cannot rely on the normal procedure, I can better run LFS | 11:44 |
| X3 | candyban: service networking start or /etc/init.d/networking start | 11:44 |
| AAA | candyban ubuntu 10.4 is so many miles away from potato that these bugs mean so little in the scheme... | 11:45 |
| candyban | X3, network starts fine (90% of the time) ... but the thing is that snmpd tries to start before eth3 is brought up ... so it fails because it can't find/bind the IP address it is assigned to | 11:45 |
| X3 | candyban: then put a failsafe | 11:46 |
| candyban | X3, I would be happy if I could force upstart to process the scripts in series rather than in parallel | 11:46 |
| X3 | candyban: ensure that snmpd if started is stopped before that | 11:47 |
| AAA | candyban rc.local and research/hack the real solution | 11:47 |
| candyban | X3, I did in one script, but how broken is a system if can't even boot properly | 11:47 |
| candyban | X3, how can I do that using upstart? | 11:47 |
| AAA | candyban special cases and stuff.. | 11:47 |
| Black_Prince | !info libuuid | 11:47 |
| ubottu | Package libuuid does not exist in lucid | 11:47 |
| Black_Prince | !info uuid-dev | 11:47 |

| X3 | candyban: did you start the snmpd after the newtork is up | 11:48 |
| candyban | X3, SysV is very simple ... SXXscript is started before SYYscript | 11:48 |
| AAA | X3 candyban that is the issure | 11:48 |
| candyban | X3, it has a dependency (Required-Start: $network) | 11:48 |
| candyban | X3, I just installed apt-get installed snmpd | 11:48 |
| AAA | candyban have you tried the pre-up statements in /etc/network-interfaces/blah | 11:49 |
| maurizio__ | Hi, does someone can help me to connect via ftp to my nas? it is attached by lan interface to a modem router. I've enabled portforwarding on port 21 on it, matching with the nas static ip adress. On the nas I've enabled the ddns service.but When I browse it i can reach only the router web interface | 11:49 |
| candyban | AAA, /etc/network-interfaces/blah? (unless you mean /etc/network/interfaces, but it has nothing to do with that) | 11:50 |
| candyban | AAA, those are just commands it will perform before bringing up the interface ... the problem is with the service which is started before the interface is up | 11:50 |
| candyban | AAA, and no, I will not create up commands to start my services | 11:51 |
| AAA | candyban just brainstorming | 11:51 |
| X3 | candyban: try reading this http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/7033/1/ | 11:52 |
| AAA | candyban I hear rh is also moving to upstart | 11:52 |
| candyban | AAA, I don't care about rh ... I care about my systems (debian based) | 11:53 |
| X3 | candyban: I think that may help u | 11:53 |
| candyban | X3, then the even "network ready" is sent incorrectly | 11:53 |
| candyban | X3, it should be sent when ALL interfaces are properly configured, not e.g. when the first one is configured | 11:54 |
| X3 | er did u read the tutorial | 11:54 |
| fif0 | how can i change the permissions of a mounted iso | 11:54 |
| === imaginativeone__ is now known as Imaginativeone | ||
| fif0 | chmod doesn't work | 11:54 |
| X3 | fif0: you have to unmount it | 11:54 |
| candyban | X3, Upstart, in contrast, is event based. An "event" can be something like "booting" ... or it can be a lot more specific, like "the network is ready to use now" | 11:55 |
| X3 | cant change permissions on a mounted file | 11:55 |

| X3 | fif0: you asked how to change permissions | 11:57 |
| fif0 | I want to change the permissions of the filesystem | 11:57 |
| abhinesh | AAA: what problem | 11:57 |
| AAA | abhinesh huh? | 11:57 |
| abhinesh | use chmod 777 use command | 11:58 |
| abhinesh | AAA: use it | 11:58 |
| eddy | X3, the sound volume does not appear in the Add to Panel list. i'm guessing it's an applet which loads into the notification area | 11:58 |

| e-DIO-t | hi there: got a problem on mounting an nfs partition on boot. the fstab file works [proof giving mount -a], but on boot it doesn't want to work. Any idea?! | 12:01 |
| AAA | abhinesh yes. chmod == change file modifications | 12:01 |
| arand | fif0: I think you'll have to specify the permissions at mount time. Looki into the options for ISO in "man mount" | 12:02 |
| candyban | e-DIO-t, can you check your syslog and look for errors? | 12:02 |
| candyban | e-DIO-t, I think I have similar issues with other services | 12:02 |
| X3 | e-DIO-t: as long as both the server and client are configured ok NFS should mount at each boot | 12:02 |

| candyban | mcs-che, what do you get when you run "sudo update-initramfs -c -k all" | 12:08 |
| X3 | e-DIO-t: Like I said atm your permissions dont allow it hence you need sudo | 12:09 |
| abhinesh | use sudo | 12:09 |
| e-DIO-t | ....well...so you mean that the "startup run of fstab" is not made by root?! | 12:09 |
| X3 | e-DIO-t: change the permissions and sudo is not required anymore and can be ounted at startup | 12:09 |
| X3 | e-DIO-t: no fstab is executed by user | 12:10 |
| e-DIO-t | ...oh well..so that explains everything :P | 12:10 |
| e-DIO-t | what if I change root:admin with "some_backup_dedicated_user:hisgroup"? | 12:10 |
| mcs-che | candyban, nothing | 12:10 |
| mcs-che | candyban, strange | 12:11 |
| e-DIO-t | well..i'll try :P back in a few | 12:11 |
| candyban | X3, it is run by a user? (which user would that be?) | 12:11 |
| X3 | e-DIO-t: whatever you do the folders NFS mounts have to have 755 or 777 permissions | 12:11 |
| X3 | candyban: whaevr user the system (YOU) created on install | 12:12 |
| ctrl | -irc.org +6601 | 12:12 |
| X3 | candyban: you can allow root login that is not the user a normal user must be created | 12:12 |
| mint | hey , can someone help me , i installed win over my ubuntu mbr | 12:13 |
| X3 | candyban: its how linux works | 12:13 |
| AAA | X3 candyban zing... | 12:13 |
| === mint is now known as ifancho | ||
| VCoolio | ifancho: unless you reformatted the partition ubuntu was on, reinstall grub | 12:14 |
| Glowball | Can I get the Lucid Software Center to Karmic? I can't seem to find a PPA for it.. | 12:14 |
| ikonia | Glowball: you don't | 12:14 |
| ikonia | Glowball: they are for seperate versions | 12:14 |
| ifancho | VCoolio: how | 12:14 |
| Glowball | ikonia: But Lucid is bugged on my laptop :( | 12:14 |
| e-DIO-t | mmmh...but i got same permission on the other...and it works | 12:14 |
| ikonia | Glowball: I can't help that | 12:15 |
| ikonia | ifancho: you're currently using mint | 12:15 |
| ifancho | i know | 12:15 |
| X3 | mint: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ | 12:15 |
| Glowball | ikonia: But now I'm used to the Lucid Software Center, the Karmic one just sucks ass :P | 12:15 |
| VCoolio | !grub | 12:15 |
| ubottu | grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 12:15 |
| ifancho | can i go from here | 12:15 |
| candyban | X3, /etc/fstab is writeable only by root ... it makes no sense that it is executed by another user than root. You can specify the "user" option so that a regular user is allowed to mount the filesystem, but normally only root is allowed to mount | 12:15 |
| ifancho | or i have to boot from ubuntu | 12:15 |
| ikonia | ifancho: ok - so why are you using mint ? | 12:15 |
| ifancho | i just had that on my usb | 12:15 |
| ifancho | loaded | 12:16 |
| mcs-che | candyban, any ideas | 12:16 |
| kay_ | hey guys, i need to install my wlan card...how can i detect it and install..(newbie)? | 12:16 |

| ifancho | yes | 12:16 |
| ifancho | i`m | 12:16 |
| ikonia | ifancho: ok, what's the issue with it ? | 12:16 |
| X-Raimo1 | hello we have domain sfw.local and loca dns server. The client is ubuntu. If we put www.sfw.local in firefox it makes query to MDNS 244.0.0.1 instead of our local DNS (which authorative for sfw.local). Why? | 12:16 |
| ifancho | like i sad | 12:16 |
| blue_anna | today when I looking in my log I saw a bunch of things like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/454935/ -- the thing is, this doesn't describe the hardware on my system at all. I have no UDMA drive. and I have no /dev/ata[56] | 12:16 |

| ikonia | ifancho: follow those instructions to install/re-install grub | 12:17 |
| SirRedTooth | I ran a package and installed something, how do i 'uninstall' it, (remove all the files and settings? | 12:17 |
| techtiny | can anyone help how to change the Grub background | 12:17 |
| candyban | mcs-che, update-initramfs -c -k all should return "something". if it doesn't, try to figure out why it doesn't | 12:17 |
| atomjepes | hi guys, I ran an update for karmic, after restart it drops to command shell and I have to manually startx, I check my runlevel and its running on 2. tried googling but still same prob occured | 12:17 |
| ikonia | X-Raimo1: look in your network manager config to see what dns servers ubuntu is setup to use | 12:17 |
| ifancho | can i do it thru mint or i have to boot agian from ubuntu live | 12:18 |
| === emc_ is now known as emc | ||
| ikonia | ifancho: use ubuntu live | 12:18 |
| === ubuntu is now known as om26er | ||
| X3 | candyban: the write permissions are by root only read and wrtiite permissions for a NSF mount must be allowed to user not just root otherwise you have to do sudo | 12:18 |
| ifancho | i`ll give it try | 12:19 |
| SirRedTooth | I ran a package and installed something, how do i 'uninstall' it, (remove all the files and settings? | 12:19 |
| X-Raimo1 | ikonia: first - our local DNS, second - ISP's DNS | 12:19 |
| mcs-che | candyban, `sudo update-initramfs -c -k all -v` rerurn "Nothing to do, exiting." | 12:19 |
| oCean_ | SirRedTooth: what do you mean "ran a package and installed something" ? Usually we use "apt-get" etc to install / remove software | 12:19 |
| ikonia | X-Raimo1: ok - so it should only query those two servers | 12:19 |
| SirRedTooth | oCean_, how do i find out the name of the package? | 12:19 |
| AAA | X-Raimo1 make sure you dns host is defined in /etc/host and also make sure your /etc/resolv.conf points to those servers | 12:19 |
| oCean_ | SirRedTooth: what was the command you used to install? | 12:19 |
| ikonia | AAA: his dns does not have to be in /etc/hosts | 12:19 |
| techtiny | Need help : How to change the gurb background of ubuntu? | 12:19 |
| SirRedTooth | oCean_, it was a python script "sudo python setup.py install" | 12:20 |
| candyban | mcs-che, you do have a kernel installed, right? :p | 12:20 |
| AAA | ikonia no, but dns hits that before reslov.conf. so just a failsafe of sorts | 12:20 |
| ikonia | AAA: not at all | 12:20 |
| Xaratas | techtiny it should be documented on the ubuntu site | 12:20 |
| ikonia | AAA: DNS servers are referenced by IP - so adding them to /etc/hosts will do nothing | 12:20 |
| techtiny | xaratas: thanks | 12:21 |
| oCean_ | SirRedTooth: there might be an uninstall or remove option in the setup.py script? | 12:21 |
| AAA | ikonia yes, dns queries hit /etc/hosts before /etc/resolv.conf. it is true | 12:21 |
| ikonia | AAA: /etc/hosts should not be used to populate DNS domains | 12:21 |
| techtiny | xaratas : could you please send me the link | 12:21 |
| mcs-che | candyban, yes | 12:21 |
| Xaratas | http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/GRUB_2/Thema | 12:21 |
| AAA | ikonia agreed. that is not my point | 12:21 |
| ikonia | AAA: he wants to use his dns server - that's where he should be querying, not putting dns entries in /etc/hosts | 12:21 |
| X-Raimo1 | as I discovered the problem is :.local domain is specific to avahi | 12:21 |
| Xaratas | half way down techtiny | 12:21 |
| ikonia | AAA: then don't tell someone to put dns entries in /etc/hosts | 12:21 |
| SirRedTooth | oCean_, doesn't look like it, and there is nothing about uninstalling in the readme file | 12:22 |
| X-Raimo1 | if we do host www.sfw.loca it return corrent IP | 12:22 |
| mcs-che | mcs-che, I think so | 12:22 |
| AAA | ikonia I didn't. I said put ip/hostname mapping sthere | 12:22 |
| X-Raimo1 | *correct | 12:22 |
| ikonia | AAA: that makes no difference | 12:22 |
| * jpds watches X-Raimo1 in #ubuntu-uk too. | 12:22 | |
| AAA | ikonia yes it does | 12:22 |
| ikonia | AAA: the DNS servers are referenced by IP's not names, so putting the names/ip's in /etc/hosts makes no difference | 12:22 |
| ikonia | AAA: no it doesn't | 12:22 |
| ikonia | AAA: resolve.conf should contain IP's not names | 12:22 |
| ikonia | resolv.conf even | 12:23 |
| AAA | ikonia research the life of a dns query | 12:23 |
| oCean_ | SirRedTooth: too bad. What you could do is try something like "python setup.py --record /tmp/files.txt" If configurer properly, you might end up with a list op installed files in /tmp/files.txt | 12:23 |
| ikonia | AAA: I'm aware of how dns works | 12:23 |
| AAA | ikonia I don't belive you | 12:23 |
| X3 | VCoolio: i did the checkinstall thing it worked fine but the packages beng ran are still the old ones | 12:23 |
| ikonia | AAA: don't care if you do | 12:23 |
| walshy1 | Hello, is anyone online? | 12:24 |
| ikonia | 1400+ are | 12:24 |
| oCean_ | !hi | walshy1 | 12:24 |
| ubottu | walshy1: 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! | 12:24 |
| candyban | <X3> e-DIO-t: no fstab is executed by user ... why would you then need to use sudo? | 12:24 |
| SirRedTooth | oCean_, it ran the setup agai | 12:24 |
| walshy1 | I just have a small question about KNetworkManager | 12:24 |
| X3 | candyban: ITS not fstab its the NFS dirs hes trying to mount | 12:24 |
| walshy1 | When I click on an ethernet connection in KNetworkManager, it doesn't do anything. My wireless works fine however. | 12:25 |
| X3 | candyban: HIS NFS dirs only have r/rw root access not user | 12:25 |
| oCean_ | SirRedTooth: and, did it result in a filelisting in /tmp/files.txt ? | 12:26 |
| candyban | X3, his question was: <e-DIO-t> ....well...so you mean that the "startup run of fstab" is not made by root?! | 12:26 |
| X3 | candyban: never mind | 12:26 |
| walshy1 | Anyone know anything about KNetworkManager? | 12:26 |
| SirRedTooth | oCean_, no just a error: error: option --record not recognized | 12:26 |
| candyban | X3, /etc/exports need to have proper permissions AND filesystem permissions | 12:26 |
| X-Raimo1 | walshy1: i know | 12:27 |
| e-DIO-t | well X3 | 12:27 |
| e-DIO-t | i can't get the solution: i mean | 12:27 |
| === visof_ is now known as visof | ||
| X3 | candyban: his original question was not about fstab but about NFS mounts he had on fstab werent being mounted at boot | 12:27 |
| oCean_ | SirRedTooth: in that case, I can not help you. It's actually not an ubuntu issue, right? Maybe someone in #phyton can help, or the documentation on the site wherever you got the software | 12:27 |
| SirRedTooth | oCean_, okay thanks, i wish ubuntu just made a control pannel, or atleast something similar to 'Program Files' so we know where everything is | 12:28 |
| e-DIO-t | got two servers trying to mount the same nfs dir using the same fstab. One works on boot, the other don't, but works with mount -a. I mean -> why the problem should be in the destination/source folder permissions? | 12:28 |
| X3 | e-DIO-t: the solution I said it 3 times already the NFS mounts dirs on system your trying to mount HAVE to have 775 or 777 permissions | 12:28 |
| oCean_ | SirRedTooth: use the correct softwaremanger and you'll be fine | 12:28 |
| ljsoftnet | oCean_: can u name some software manager? | 12:29 |
| AAA | e-DIO-t smells like an upstart issue | 12:30 |
| X3 | lol | 12:30 |
| candyban | X3, sorry, didn't want to "nit-pick" :) ... when I saw that fstab is not run by root at boot and I was shocked. Either that statement was wrong or I have no clue (anymore) as how a system boots | 12:30 |
| oCean_ | !apt-get | ljsoftnet | 12:30 |
| ubottu | ljsoftnet: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 12:30 |

| tuxick | lo | 12:31 |
| X3 | candyban: well root is not a normal user | 12:31 |
| X3 | candyban: idk any linux that boots into root | 12:32 |
| tuxick | failing to get openldap set up, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1313472 seems incorret | 12:32 |
| e-DIO-t | X3 :P but i can't get WHY :) | 12:32 |
| tuxick | or the orig db is hidden in some secret place while i have to remove it | 12:32 |
| candyban | X3, (nitpicking) actually "root" it is a normal user ... it's just the userid that gives him special powers :p | 12:32 |
| onilmaurya | i m new to ubuntu plz help me to install and configure JMF api to java in ubuntu | 12:32 |
| onilmaurya | plz help | 12:32 |
| X3 | e-DIO-t: if the NFS dirs dont have read and write permission onboot they will not mount since the system is not logged automatically to root | 12:33 |
| X3 | and since they only have root permissions | 12:33 |
| X3 | a normal user cant mount them period | 12:34 |
| === _rwc_osa is now known as _rwc | ||

| e-DIO-t | well X3: i could even agree with you but so...why the FKC it works on the other server?! | 12:34 |

| `jan | hi does anyone have suggestion of good foss webmail system? i dont like squirrelmail, or citadel.. is there anything that resembles microsoft outlook web access? | 12:37 |
| AAA | e-DIO-t the no root squash option is worth looking ingto | 12:37 |
| X3 | e-DIO-t: idk about your other setup double check it and emulate every condition write permissions must be allowed for a nfs dir to mount otherwise use some fakeroot option but idk about that | 12:37 |
| littlebear | jan: i'm using cubemail | 12:37 |
| laclasse | `jan, zimbra? | 12:37 |
| rww | `jan: roundcube is nice. I haven't used OWA much, so I don't know how much it resembles it. | 12:38 |
| candyban | e-DIO-t, by default you are not allowed to connect to nfs mounts as root (as that would give the client "full" access on the export) | 12:38 |
| candyban | e-DIO-t, did you run mount -a as a regular user or as root? | 12:38 |
| candyban | e-DIO-t, nosquashroot should fix that | 12:38 |
| `jan | laclasse: zimbras web client is old fashioned :) | 12:39 |
| `jan | rww: ill take a look. | 12:39 |
| `jan | rww: do they have a mailserver too? or just the client | 12:39 |
| X3 | VCoolio: you about | 12:39 |
| VCoolio | atcho: using xscreensaver? run 'xscreensaver-demo' and hit settings | 12:40 |
| RS_Asleep | Hello :) | 12:40 |
| candyban | e-DIO-t, check your syslogs (on both servers) .... it will probably give some indication | 12:40 |
| VCoolio | X3: yes, what's up? better just ask the channel btw | 12:40 |
| kay_ | hey guys, need some help with my graphics! | 12:40 |
| AAA | atcho and apt-get install electricsheep | 12:40 |
| rww | `jan: I'm not sure what you mean? It's a web frontend for IMAP/SMTP/etc., it's not a mailserver itself. | 12:40 |
| === _rwc is now known as _rwc_afk | ||
| e-DIO-t | X3, the two's are already the same. Same OS, same filesystem, same fstab, same mount versions, even same subnet. Same rights on remote nfs, same rights and same user on mount destination. | 12:40 |
| vamshi | can anyone help me out regarding external hard disk and pen drive usage | 12:40 |
| `jan | rww: just wondering as zimbra is a webserver too | 12:41 |
| rww | `jan: you'd use a regular mailserver, like postfix, with it... | 12:41 |
| rww | `jan: oh, okay | 12:41 |
| `jan | rww: mailserver* | 12:41 |
| X3 | VCoolio: I tried what you said about check install the package is installed but only the old one runs not the comiled one | 12:41 |
| * rww hasn't used zimbra | 12:41 | |
| AAA | e-DIO-t did you start nfs with lots of debug and tail that output? | 12:41 |
| vamshi | when i kept my new pendrive it showed 7.4 GB | 12:41 |
| e-DIO-t | i'd be glad: but it's a NAS embedded implementation | 12:41 |
| vamshi | and when i added a file and deleted it off it shows 7.3 GB | 12:42 |
| candyban | e-DIO-t, can you paste your /etc/exports somewhere ? | 12:42 |
| meowbuntu | day | 12:42 |
| candyban | e-DIO-t, together with the ips of both boxes and the /etc/fstab | 12:42 |
| shashwatpns | First in ubuntu 9.04 we used to have a software something called screen recorder isn't it available now? | 12:42 |
| AAA | vamshi because that file is in use | 12:42 |
| VCoolio | X3: you should have removed the old one first; you can still do that; if it takes the compiled one with it, the .deb is still in the folder where you built it, so dpkg -i file.deb and it's installed again | 12:42 |
| vamshi | even my external hard disk which showd at first 498 GB now shows only 465GB | 12:42 |
| e-DIO-t | wait, giving a try with nosquashroot, then i'll dump the right line of log from nas too...perhaps :P | 12:43 |
| AAA | vamshi usd drive will often write after remooal/eject | 12:43 |
| candyban | e-DIO-t, it's been several years since I worked with nfs and there were some snags, but overall it was quite straight forward | 12:43 |
| vamshi | AAA i did not get you | 12:43 |
| atcho | how can I use `xlockmore' as the default screen-saver? | 12:44 |
| RS_Asleep | Don't suppose anyone's using an Aspire One (A110/ZG5) by chance with 10.04 on? | 12:44 |
| walshy1 | could anyone help me with my ethernet issue | 12:44 |
| AAA | vamshi changes to your usb drive may not be reflected unilt you pull it out and plug it back in | 12:44 |
| vamshi | AAA but a 500 GB hard disk which showed earlier is now showing only 465 GB | 12:44 |
| `jan | is there a way to set a default signature that is added too all emails sent? without showing the sender? -- so after it is sent by the sender, mailserver adds signature, then it goes? | 12:44 |
| vamshi | AAA how about my external hard disk | 12:44 |
| === bep is now known as Guest40556 | ||

| orschiro | hello guys, is it normal that evince can't open links in fullscreen mode? | 12:45 |
| e-DIO-t | btw: got no /etc/exports | 12:45 |
| AAA | vamshi disk sizes are calculated differently between manufacturers. use $ df to see you real bytes and $ df -h to see human readable Mbytes | 12:45 |
| candyban | e-DIO-t, it is on the nfs server | 12:45 |
| Ulmo | Hi. Has anyone here been able to get alltray working for Lucid lynx? | 12:46 |
| Ulmo | I click on a window and nothing happens. Using Gnome. | 12:46 |
| xtremox | hello what is a better download manager for ubuntu? | 12:47 |
| AAA | vamshi my point is, your disk reports itselfs in many ways. it also has partistions/sslices that you may not see that take up space | 12:47 |
| LjL | xtremox: some download managers are aria2, d4x, wmget, jigdo — GNOME: gwget — KDE: kget | 12:47 |
| none | what r good irc servers n channels for hack n programming advice? | 12:47 |
| Ulmo | xtremox: I'd like to second that, everyone says kget but I can't stand it. | 12:47 |
| VCoolio | Ulmo: what version is it? still 0.69? then try the much improved 0.7.4 from launchpad.net, also check what output it gives in a terminal | 12:47 |
| LjL | none: try ##programming - also, perhaps ##english could give you indications on how to form full words ;) | 12:48 |
| === sebi_` is now known as sebi` | ||
| Ulmo | VCoolio: Yea, 0.69 | 12:48 |
| vamshi | AAA for my pen drive using df -h it comes 7.4 GB and in the properties it comes 7.3GB | 12:48 |
| VCoolio | Ulmo: then add the repo from launchpad, install that one (mind that apt thinks 0.69 is higher than 0.7.4 so be careful with updates) | 12:49 |
| Ulmo | VCoolio: It says 0.71a is the latest stable release. | 12:49 |
| shadyabhi | #programming | 12:49 |
| e-DIO-t | i can't access it: it's a wdnas with no enables SSH | 12:49 |
| candyban | vamshi, 500GB advertised by hd manufactureres = base10 (so 1KB = 1000 bytes) ... filesystem uses base2 (2^10) which is 1KB = 1024 bytes | 12:49 |
| e-DIO-t | what's the info in that file ? | 12:49 |
| hoare | guys I need help. I have to loop mount an .img file to a single giant ntfs file on windows only once. | 12:50 |

| e-DIO-t | candyban, btw http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/454944/ | 12:50 |
| vamshi | AAA but my external hard disk shows only 465 GB in both the areas | 12:51 |

| candyban | oCean_, perhaps you can help. I have certain services which depend on network being initialized (snmpd, conntrackd) ... yet the scripts fail "randomly" (sometimes they work, sometimes they don't) and the error I get in syslog boils down to the fact that the network was not available when the daemon tried to start | 13:07 |

| oCean_ | candyban: the init system changed a little, and I do not have much experience with the new system. However, in the /etc/init/*.conf files, you can configure the dependencies | 13:11 |
| bazhang | Krow, check in #winehq for the wine repos for a newer version | 13:11 |

| ComradeHaz` | Hi guys, I cannot find ddrescue in the repo's, can someone tell me what package it's in please? | 13:12 |
| blue_anna | atcho, basically, add your screensaver to /usr/share/applications/desktop.en_US.utf8.cache , like the other entries for screensavers in that file | 13:12 |
| bazhang | !info ddrescue | ComradeHaz` | 13:12 |
| ubottu | ComradeHaz`: ddrescue (source: ddrescue): copy data from one file or block device to another. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.14-1 (lucid), package size 19 kB, installed size 84 kB | 13:12 |
| atcho | blue_anna: i will ry | 13:12 |
| AAA | Ulmo edit your /etc/apt/sources.list with the repo that has your version. you may want to check out backports | 13:12 |
| atcho | blue_anna: i will try | 13:12 |
| blue_anna | atcho, if that doesn't work, maybe you have to use the locale setting of your system instead | 13:12 |
| blue_anna | atcho, like for me, it might be /usr/share/applications/desktop.es_EC.utf8.cache | 13:13 |
| atcho | blue_anna: okay, got t | 13:13 |
| ComradeHaz` | hmm, wtf can aptitude / synaptic not find it?! | 13:13 |
| bazhang | ComradeHaz`, please watch the language | 13:13 |
| ComradeHaz` | I'm using a live cd, does that make any difference? | 13:13 |
| AAA | ComradeHaz` you need sources.list | 13:13 |
| bazhang | ComradeHaz`, check software sources and adjust | 13:13 |
| ComradeHaz` | my language? Did I say something rude? | 13:13 |

| candyban | oCean_, that would have been my guess too ... but I have 4 interfaces, and a some of pre-up stuff (ucarp), so it might be that it takes longer to complete it all than a "default" install | 13:17 |

| Guest5764 | Dynetrekk: Can you tell what does activating imap in gmail do ? | 13:18 |
| Dynetrekk | Guest5764: it lets you use the imap protocol to download emails to evolution | 13:19 |
| AdvoWork | AAA so tail the log, and run dmesg? | 13:19 |
| Dynetrekk | it syncs automagically with gmail, so that when you delete a msg. in evolution, it will delete the msg. on the gmail server too, etc. | 13:19 |

| vamshi | but not able to enter into it | 13:35 |
| gbillings | Beyecixramd: not a laptop. a desktop | 13:35 |
| NthDegree | noahir, at least Ubuntu actually has downloadable files.. lol | 13:35 |
| noahir | NthDegree: yes i know | 13:35 |
| BluesKaj | vamshi, run sudo update-grub | 13:35 |
| Beyecixramd | gbillings: I'm sorry, but Fn shortcuts are embedded into the hardware, for non-Mac machines at least | 13:35 |
| noahir | BolgenOS is just ubuntu with themes | 13:35 |
| noahir | and thats the point ^^ | 13:36 |
| Beyecixramd | gbillings: you mean like Fn + F4 = louder volume? | 13:36 |
| vamshi | BluesKaj, will try it out | 13:36 |
| Beyecixramd | noahir: stupid IMHO | 13:36 |
| abhi_nav | vamshi, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1074973 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1094328 see second one first | 13:36 |
| abhi_nav | vamshi, first do as said by BluesKaj | 13:36 |
| gbillings | Beyecixramd: i mean fn + f1 has an icon for word processsing. if i type fn + f1 there is no response | 13:36 |
| noahir | Beyecixramd: it isnt its genial ...it was on TV !!! | 13:36 |
| Beyecixramd | gbillings: because.... that's a Windows key combination... | 13:37 |
| vamshi | AAA http://paste.ubuntu.com/454956/ | 13:37 |
| Mkools | Hi I am using ubuntu 9.10 but I am not able to stop or start videos of youtube in my firefox browser using my mouse click. I have adobe flash plugin installed what must be the problem? | 13:37 |
| Beyecixramd | gbillings: the best thing you could do is assign a new command to that key | 13:37 |
| Beyecixramd | gbillings: in the same window, add a new command to OpenOffice.org writer, for example, Abiword, or whatever you'd like to start | 13:37 |
| gbillings | Beyecixramd: then how do i do that? if i type fn+f1 in the keyboard shortcuts it only picks up f1 | 13:37 |
| noahir | Mkools: dont use flash player | 13:38 |
| Beyecixramd | gbillings: does that keyboard need drivers in Windows? | 13:38 |
| NthDegree | noahir, he can't avoid it with FF | 13:38 |
| Mkools | noahir: Then what to use? | 13:38 |
| Beyecixramd | gbillings: do you need to install a CD, or download something in order to the keyboard to work properly | 13:38 |
| NthDegree | noahir, FF on current Ubuntu lacks H.264 with HTML5 needed for YT HTML5 support | 13:38 |
| gbillings | Beyecixramd: it came with a cd but i dont know what to do with it. only for windows | 13:38 |
| Beyecixramd | NthDegree: with Fx, Flash is easily avoidable :\ | 13:39 |
| NthDegree | Beyecixramd, orly? | 13:39 |
| noahir | Also ubuntu resp. canonical should prevent users to use flash on x64 machines | 13:39 |
| NthDegree | noahir, why? | 13:39 |
| NthDegree | I have 64-bit Flash from Adobe's alpha refreshes | 13:39 |
| Beyecixramd | gbillings: there you have it. Your keyboard has specific functions that are Windows-only... try to searh your KB model and linux, maybe there are community driverts, I'm sorry i can't do anything else about that :( | 13:40 |
| NthDegree | Flash will always have security issues because of what it is and how it works | 13:40 |
| Beyecixramd | NthDegree: i mean, there's a script that adds H.264 support for Fx | 13:40 |
| NthDegree | Beyecixramd, sweet! :D | 13:40 |
| Beyecixramd | noahir: no, Canonical shouldn't prevent users to *anything* | 13:40 |
| NthDegree | (too bad i'm on epiphany though) | 13:40 |
| noahir | they should cuz of part of winbuntu users :X | 13:41 |
| Beyecixramd | noahir: that's how Windows and Mac OS X works... and we don't want another clone, right? | 13:41 |
| gbillings | Beyecixramd: alright thank you anyways ill go search the world wide web for answers :_ | 13:41 |
| JP1 | sorry guys, went off to get some luncheon: My sound problem is quite simply I get no sound though my web browser | 13:41 |
| JP1 | however I searched and looked aound and it seems there are 20 different fixes for it... | 13:41 |
| Beyecixramd | NthDegree: does Epiphany accept community scripts? | 13:41 |
| NthDegree | Beyecixramd, yeah.. I think so | 13:41 |
| Beyecixramd | JP1: play some sound in your browser, and go to the sound control panel | 13:41 |
| JP1 | I didnt really fancy downloading a few gigabytes of gubbins to check whether the most convincing of them worked, so I though I shoud ask | 13:41 |
| Beyecixramd | JP1: maybe the browser is muted | 13:41 |
| NthDegree | Beyecixramd, they also have greasemonkey too | 13:41 |
| JP1 | In the control pannel it says no application is running sound | 13:41 |
| Beyecixramd | NthDegree: try to use that script, it could work | 13:42 |
| JP1 | but it flashes periodically with ALSA | 13:42 |
| Beyecixramd | JP1: are you running sound in the browser? | 13:42 |
| Beyecixramd | JP1: the sound pipe to the browser isn't created until sound actually starts playing | 13:42 |
| noahir | btw is here alternative downloader like jdownloader ? | 13:42 |
| JP1 | yes, I am playing (or trying to play) some sound, in the audio control in the applications bit it says no applications are using sound, but every now and then I get a vey quick flash of "ALSA... something something" | 13:43 |
| penne | noahir, tuxload | 13:43 |
| Beyecixramd | JP1: all other apps run normally | 13:43 |
| Beyecixramd | ? | 13:43 |
| JP1 | syste sounds, on box music etc. fine | 13:43 |
| penne | jp1, do u have 2 sound cards? | 13:43 |
| JP1 | with realplayer or VLC, sound is fine, it just browser | 13:43 |
| noahir | penne: can you point me to source code ? :X | 13:43 |
| JP1 | No - just the onboard, nothing else. WHen I do a hardware scan in the terminal I oly have one sound device and that is the onboard | 13:44 |
| penne | noahir, its a perl script...runs fine on my little nas, just command line, no gui | 13:44 |
| noahir | penne: yep thats great | 13:44 |
| Mkools | noahir: NthDegree: Then what should I use? | 13:44 |
| noahir | penne: but cant find it...only some pages in german | 13:44 |
| penne | noahir, ask google...there should be a svn .... | 13:45 |
| NthDegree | Mkools, are you on 64-bit Ubuntu? | 13:45 |
| noahir | Mkools: html5 | 13:45 |
| Mkools | NthDegree: yep | 13:45 |
| NthDegree | Mkools, if you are then you need to get the 64-bit alpha plugin | 13:45 |
| Beyecixramd | noahir: HTML with ogg/vp8 ftw | 13:45 |
| NthDegree | which Adobe no longer distribute | 13:45 |
| Beyecixramd | HTML5* | 13:45 |
| NthDegree | Mkools, and no, Ubuntu won't ship it due to the fact it is alpha software | 13:46 |
| noahir | Beyecixramd: yep but vp8 isnt that great as h.264 ;X | 13:46 |
| Beyecixramd | noahir: that's your opinion ;) | 13:46 |
| NthDegree | noahir, debatable.. in some cases one is better than the other | 13:46 |
| Bishop_ | h264 cannot be played on x64. | 13:46 |
| Beyecixramd | noahir: i hate H.264 because it's FRIGGIN EXPENSIVE | 13:47 |
| NthDegree | Bishop_, yes it can be... | 13:47 |
| Bishop_ | ...embedded in a browser. | 13:47 |
| Beyecixramd | noahir: let's not forget the fact that's closed source software :) | 13:47 |
| noahir | Beyecixramd: i know..same to me...but that said dev of vp8 ;) not me | 13:47 |
| NthDegree | Bishop_, what about Google Chrome x86_64? | 13:47 |
| penne | noahir, isnt tuxload in the repo? | 13:47 |
| Bishop_ | i tried it. | 13:47 |
| Bishop_ | didn't work (3 weeks ago). | 13:47 |
| NthDegree | Bishop_, it worked for me on YouTube | 13:47 |
| === omgjoz|JAP is now known as omgjoz | ||
| NthDegree | though that was on Slackware, not Ubuntu | 13:47 |
| JP1 | @penne and co. : Ive already reinstalled the default version of ALSA (.21 ?) and my computer clearly knwos I have one sound card, it works on everything but the web browser :/ | 13:48 |
| Bishop_ | i tried chrome64 (not32-bit) | 13:48 |
| penne | JP1, r u using ff? | 13:48 |
| NthDegree | I tried Chrome 64-bit | 13:48 |
| JP1 | Yes | 13:48 |
| Mkools | I am confused with your debate, what is the final result? | 13:48 |
| noahir | well better try chromium and not chrome :P | 13:48 |
| penne | jp1: do u have in youtube no sound? | 13:49 |
| NthDegree | Mkools, go get 64-bit flash or use Google Chrome | 13:49 |
| JP1 | penne: yes, any website - no sound | 13:49 |
| Bishop_ | i dont remember, maybe it was chromium. | 13:49 |
| NthDegree | Mkools, the Flash from the Ubuntu package is 32-bit | 13:49 |
| noahir | Mkools: go get 64bit flash alpha prerelease without hole or Chromium with html5 support | 13:49 |
| Bishop_ | and maybe it has improved last month. | 13:49 |
| NthDegree | noahir, isn't one without hole | 13:49 |
| NthDegree | lol | 13:49 |
| noahir | i know | 13:49 |
| noahir | known hole | 13:49 |
| noahir | ^^ | 13:49 |
| NthDegree | isn't one without known hole | 13:50 |
| NthDegree | they don't ship 64-bit alpha anymore | 13:50 |
| noahir | oh | 13:50 |
| noahir | i know now why i dont use flash | 13:50 |
| noahir | is piece of shi...Yes im keeping language ops | 13:50 |
| NthDegree | and one can blame apple for that | 13:50 |
| penne | JP1, wut kind of addons do u have installed? | 13:50 |
| Mkools | nohair:NthDegree: Are both freeware? | 13:50 |
| noahir | apple is ok | 13:50 |
| noahir | Mkools: chromium is open source | 13:50 |
| NthDegree | Mkools, yes.. both are free as in cost | 13:50 |

| JP1 | penne: On Mozilla, whatever its told me to install | 13:51 |
| dannbrown | hi all | 13:51 |
| NthDegree | Mkools, Google Chrome is free as in cost (not freedom) and Chromium is free as in cost and freedom | 13:51 |
| abc11 | 好 | 13:51 |
| noahir | NthDegree: so thats the point to use chromium and not chrome | 13:51 |
| NthDegree | Mkools, Chrome is a binary release of Chromium endorsed by Google | 13:52 |
| noahir | abc11: i saw that symbol | 13:52 |
| penne | jp1: wut addons exactly? | 13:52 |
| NthDegree | noahir, anyone who's moaning about Flash hardly cares much for freedom lol | 13:52 |
| noahir | NthDegree: teach him ! | 13:52 |

| NthDegree | Traveler1, lspci -v | grep VGA | 13:53 |
| JP1 | penne: Gecko player, DivX, IcedTea, Helix DNA, iTunes, mplayer plugin, Quickime, Real Player, Shockwave Flash and VLC | 13:53 |
| NthDegree | Traveler1, no need for XP to find out :P | 13:54 |

| cba123 | cruiser2bruiser, Yeah. I'm also running 64bit. | 14:07 |
| zetheroo | cruiser2bruiser: no fix? | 14:07 |
| NthDegree | There is | 14:07 |

| zetheroo | NthDegree: which settings --- where? | 14:07 |
| cruiser2bruiser | cba123, aye that's right I am on amd64 and just for the record Adobe recently has stopped work on devleoping an x64 version of its flash players | 14:07 |
| Icy_ | how do I compile wifi radar then ? | 14:08 |
| NthDegree | /etc/pulse/daemon.conf | 14:08 |
| JP1 | penne: my web browser just isn't loading anything now :/ | 14:08 |
| NthDegree | zetheroo, play with the fragments and priority settings | 14:08 |
| penne | jp1. start the browser from console | 14:08 |
| cruiser2bruiser | cba123, have you tried reinstalling firefox as a starter | 14:08 |
| zetheroo | NthDegree: uhm ... I have no idea about that kinda stuff | 14:08 |
| Hawkey^atWork | penne: and... user rights are linked with UID right? so when user has new name, still he will have rights like on old name? | 14:08 |
| lorenzosu | Ubuntu lucid won't shut down. when I use the shutdown command it will freeze on the plymuth screen (purple with ubuntu logo) | 14:09 |
| JP1 | penne: command ? | 14:09 |
| penne | jp1: firefox? | 14:09 |
| cruiser2bruiser | lorenzosu just to confirm its shutdown with -P command you're using | 14:09 |
| JP1 | penne:yes | 14:09 |
| Icy_ | anybody here use wifi radar ? | 14:09 |
| penne | Hawkey^atWork, hmpf.....good question..hold on | 14:09 |
| Dr_Willis | cruiser2bruiser: thats not entirely true that they have stopped.. but they havent really said what their plans are either. | 14:10 |
| RS_Asleep | Don't suppose if anyone know if the GMA950 in an Aspire One should play flash (iplayer h.264) in full screen without choppiness? | 14:10 |
| lorenzosu | cruiser2bruiser, sorry I explained the wrong thing: i shut down with the menu | 14:10 |
| cruiser2bruiser | Dr_Willis that's right should have worded that correctly | 14:10 |
| zetheroo | NthDegree: default-fragments = 8 .... is that good? | 14:10 |
| lorenzosu | cruiser2bruiser, system -> shut down.. | 14:10 |
| Dr_Willis | cruiser2bruiser: their web site should be been better worded also. :) | 14:10 |
| cruiser2bruiser | lorenzosu try the command > shutdown -P now | 14:10 |
| cba123 | cruiser2bruiser, Doing "sudo apt-get remove firefox" as we speak. I'll reinstall it with "sudo apt-get install firefox" when done, and let you know. | 14:11 |
| cruiser2bruiser | lorenzosu you'll have to sudo in order to run that | 14:11 |
| abhi_nav | Icy_, I used log time ago. but network manger alone is sufficient. if you install any other network related ap then network manager will not funtion. | 14:11 |
| ifancho8 | well.. | 14:11 |

| cba123 | Dr_Willis, I thought it would have it rescan plugins. | 14:12 |
| Dr_Willis | ifancho8: you sure you dident mean /etc/sda instead of /dev/sda6 ? | 14:12 |
| Dr_Willis | cba123: Perhaps - perhaps not. | 14:12 |
| NthDegree | zetheroo, play with it | 14:12 |
| ifancho8 | but sda6 is my ubuntu | 14:12 |
| NthDegree | zetheroo, there isn't one setting that works for everyone | 14:12 |
| NthDegree | zetheroo, change it, restart PA and test | 14:13 |
| zetheroo | NthDegree: main prob is I cannot test it... if I do a Skype test call it's always fine ... | 14:13 |
| NthDegree | zetheroo, then perhaps it isn't Skype | 14:13 |
| JP1 | penne: says mozilla is not installed | 14:13 |
| lorenzosu | cruiser2bruiser, Same thing the ubuntu logo appears, with the dots and the machine just frezes | 14:14 |

| zetheroo | NthDegree: well when I call others the call quality is horrid ... but if I call from Windows it's perfect | 14:14 |
| NthDegree | zetheroo, you using a firewall? | 14:14 |
| cruiser2bruiser | lorenzosu try this now keep the right alt key and the sysrq key pressed down and hit r e i s u b | 14:14 |
| MaMoUs | hello all... i need help with something | 14:14 |
| MaMoUs | is there a program that i can record what my sons write and do ? with a way they don't see ? | 14:14 |

| zetheroo | NthDegree: not that I know of | 14:15 |
| NthDegree | zetheroo, remember to port forward for best performance | 14:15 |
| JP1 | penne: so is that sudo apt-get reinstall seamonkey-browser ?? | 14:15 |
| lorenzosu | cruiser2bruiser, what's the sysrq key? | 14:15 |
| LjL | MaMoUs: sorry, i thought that existed, the "linux keylogger". guess it has been removed. | 14:15 |
| zetheroo | NthDegree: well I don't do anything out of the default setup in Windows and it works very well | 14:15 |
| cruiser2bruiser | lorenzosu should be the same key as print screen :) | 14:15 |
| NthDegree | zetheroo, play with the fragments setting then | 14:16 |
| NthDegree | and call someone you know lol | 14:16 |
| lorenzosu | cruiser2bruiser, nothing happens | 14:16 |
| cruiser2bruiser | lorenzosu are you sure it the Alt Gr key (left alt) and the print screen with r e i s u b | 14:16 |
| lorenzosu | cruiser2bruiser, the keyboard seems frozen too, no capslock or ctrl+altf1 etc | 14:16 |
| zetheroo | NthDegree: hehe ... yeah ... with the fragments ... what is the actual story ... is it how many fragments are being transmitted at a time? so if its crackling I should lessen it? | 14:16 |
| NthDegree | zetheroo, it's the number of fragments in the buffer | 14:17 |
| cruiser2bruiser | lorenzosu have you checked the sys logs maybe there's something obvius there ?? | 14:17 |
| NthDegree | fragments*size | 14:17 |
| LegoDaniel | Does anyone run dual monitors in LInux? | 14:17 |
| wukh | hi | 14:17 |
| NthDegree | I mean (fragments*size) == buffer | 14:17 |
| mgraf | i use duel moniters | 14:17 |
| lorenzosu | cruiser2bruiser,no I havnt | 14:17 |
| zetheroo | NthDegree: so is less "easier" for the system to deal with? | 14:17 |
| cruiser2bruiser | LegoDaniel I do, got it on Nvidia, got 3D desktop and compiz running | 14:17 |
| penne | jp1: seamonkey-browser? | 14:18 |
| NthDegree | zetheroo, the larger the buffer, the more latency | 14:18 |
| mgraf | and im running flux again with nvidia | 14:18 |
| LegoDaniel | How do I tell Linux to make my right monitor the main monitor because everything keeps popping up on the left one. | 14:18 |
| NthDegree | zetheroo, but the lower the buffer the more likely you are to stutter/pop/click | 14:18 |
| evilrapper | nvdia | 14:18 |
| LegoDaniel | Also, can I move things between monitors? | 14:18 |
| cruiser2bruiser | LegoDaniel go to system preferences monitor or if you're using propreitary drivers then use the custom program | 14:18 |
| coz_ | NthDegree, nvidia?? | 14:18 |
| Dr_Willis | LegoDaniel: if using nvidia- the nvidia-settings tool has a check box for that.. Other then nvidia- I have no idea | 14:18 |
| zetheroo | NthDegree: hmm ok | 14:18 |
| wukh | 中文可以吗 | 14:18 |
| LegoDaniel | Yes nvidia here 6200 AGP 2 minitors. | 14:18 |
| NthDegree | coz_, what? | 14:19 |
| LegoDaniel | nvidia drivers | 14:19 |
| Dr_Willis | ifancho8: chat in the channel please. | 14:19 |
| coz_ | LegoDaniel, ok are you using compiz | 14:19 |
| cruiser2bruiser | LegoDaniel you should be able to see two icons each representing a monitor, drag and drop 'em to whatever arrangement you want | 14:19 |
| coz_ | NthDegree, sorry wrong person :) | 14:19 |
| cba123 | cruiser2bruiser, Dr_Willis, Uninstalling and reinstalling worked. I also happened to run bleachbit at the same time. | 14:19 |
| ifancho8 | ok so do i have to change that | 14:19 |
| Dr_Willis | LegoDaniel: there a setting in the nvidia-settings tool that does it. I always ahve to change it. | 14:19 |
| ifancho8 | this one /dev/sda6 | 14:19 |
| Dr_Willis | LegoDaniel: i enable twinview, set that checkbox, then restart the X server | 14:19 |
| LegoDaniel | Just installed Ubuntu so don't know if Compiz is running. | 14:19 |
| pinoyoragon | i cant connect to wired network using wicd 1.7.0 in Kubuntu 10.04 help please | 14:19 |
| LegoDaniel | Okay. | 14:19 |
| zetheroo | NthDegree: how do I restart PA? | 14:20 |
| coz_ | LegoDaniel, if you just want windows to open on specific monitors and you are running compiz there are several ways to do this...the easiest is to go into place windows plugin under General tab and under "multi output mode" choose :use output device with pointer:" | 14:20 |
| coz_ | LegoDaniel, this will open windows whereever your mouse cursor is rather...on which monitor your cursor is | 14:20 |
| DeeLishiSS | damn computer froze up | 14:20 |
| LegoDaniel | Thank you. | 14:21 |
| LegoDaniel | I will try that now. | 14:21 |
| Dr_Willis | LegoDaniel: under nvidia settings tool the 'make this monitor the primary display' was needed for me. | 14:21 |
| DeeLishiSS | is their a log you can check to see what/if something caused the crash? | 14:21 |
| === DeeLishiSS is now known as delici0us | ||

| penne | jp1: wut version of ubuntu r u running? | 14:24 |
| * NthDegree doesn't know if Ubuntu does user-level or system-level pulseaudio | 14:24 | |
| JP1 | 10.04 - lucid lynx I think that is | 14:24 |

| shadyabhi | schlaftier: that also not working with chromium | 14:29 |
| Dr_Willis | cba123: if you cant click on the 'play; button' in flash videos try this 'trick' - move pointer off the video, right click so you get a menu.. move back over the play button (whild holding the right button) THEN click on the play. :) | 14:30 |

| theom3ga | I've started my desktop computer and now, after booting, only a black screen with the mouse appears | 14:33 |
| Dr_Willis | jelly-bean: there was some X bug i recall taht prevented the ctrl-g from working. | 14:33 |
| jelly-bean | Dr_Willis: I did and then the `beep` command broke also. it used to at least come out of the speakers when I typed beep before that | 14:33 |
| Beyecixramd | theom3ga: have you used Ubuntu normally before' | 14:33 |
| Beyecixramd | ?* | 14:33 |

| Dr_Willis | ComradeHaz`: depends on your needs. | 14:38 |
| aeon-ltd | Icy_: dhcp? static? | 14:38 |
| Hawkey^atWork | penne: yeah got it but i asked on rights stuff.. if they are linked to UID | 14:39 |
| penne | comrade, putting it into fstab or just put the smb:// link into ur favorites | 14:39 |
| Dr_Willis | ComradeHaz`: gnomes file manager can see/access them.. or you can use fstab. or mount them with other tools | 14:39 |
| Icy_ | its static yea,not sure what you mean by dhcp | 14:39 |

| Icy_ | wireless | 14:40 |
| Dr_Willis | ComradeHaz`: err.. sshfs is nto the same as the smbfs stuff.. but both can be done via fstab. | 14:40 |

First, my laptop (Lenovo T60P) had a perfectly working display but when I docked it and used the lenovo desk screen (dual display) the monitor showed 'invalid display' and had a... shakey?... aspect to the background which eventually dropped off. | 15:08 |
| tdechman | I used the nomodeset option from the release notes | 15:08 |
| tdechman | but... has anyone else seen this? | 15:08 |
| tdechman | I mean, from my reading of the bug reports, it seemed the issues were either embedded or complete | 15:09 |
| tdechman | and not simply with one display vs the other | 15:09 |

| BluesKaj | Speiros, as well open your package manager and enable 3rd party sources and canonical partners , then sudo aptitude update. | 15:18 |
| Speiros | BluesKaj: Will do, thanks | 15:19 |
| pozic | erUSUL: rebooting. Thanks. | 15:19 |
| erUSUL | pozic: sudo update-grub | 15:19 |
| erUSUL | pozic: | 15:19 |
| BluesKaj | Speiros, then install ubunt-restricted-extras if not already installed | 15:19 |
| Speiros | BluesKaj: Okay. | 15:20 |
| BluesKaj | err, ubuntu-restricted-extras | 15:20 |
| nowireless | I already tried to reinstall linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic, but it didn't changed the scenario. :S | 15:20 |
| technikfreak | hello together i have xubuntu 10.04 installed but i have onbe problem each start, skype and pdigin starts automatically after i logged in but i didn't kno why | 15:21 |
| doughed2003 | nowireless: what wireless program are you useing? | 15:21 |
| Dr_Willis | technikfreak: session manager perhaps has 'saved' them as being auto ran. I dont use xfce. so can only suggest to look in the sessions settings | 15:22 |
| rmrfslash | Where do I add default search domains i.e. so I can ssh into a hostname w/o having to supply the entire fqdn | 15:22 |
| rmrfslash | like ssh node instead of ssh node.foo.com | 15:23 |
| acovrig | shadyabhi: http://pastebin.com/46Hx31jk has iptables -L denyhosts conf and sshd_conf | 15:23 |
| nowireless | doughed2003: wireless module? ath5k | 15:23 |
| rmrfslash | adding "foo.com" to the default search domains | 15:23 |
| cronject | rmrfslash: /etc/hosts | 15:23 |
| cronject | rmrfslash: in the third column you can add an alias | 15:23 |
| rmrfslash | That's not what I mean | 15:24 |
| doughed2003 | nowireless: no the gui. wicd ? | 15:24 |
| rmrfslash | you can add search domains.... I don't want to add an alias for every possible machine | 15:24 |
| technikfreak | ok thx Dr_Willis | 15:24 |
| acovrig | rapid: yes, but I don't know what ip I am going to have if I go somewhere, and it is blocking every login, not just bad ones | 15:24 |
| j800r | guys, i'm having trouble networking to a windows system. my gf has shared a folder for me to pick up on my ubuntu system (she's on windows vista) and the folder shows up, but when i try to open it, it tells me "Unable to mount location." | 15:24 |
| less | rmrfslash: sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf | 15:25 |
| rapid | acovrig, oh sorry, i've misunderstood | 15:25 |
| nowireless | doughed2003: ermm, network-manager?! | 15:25 |
| nowireless | Ubuntu default. | 15:25 |
| rapid | acovrig, there's no deny hosts log? | 15:25 |
| rmrfslash | I think you add them to supercede-domain in /etc/dhcp3/dhcp.conf | 15:26 |
| acovrig | rapid: its ok, but very annoying that it blocks every login attempt, even correct ones, I am in ssh now, and it attempts to block my current connection when I start it | 15:26 |
| rmrfslash | rather, /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf | 15:26 |
| acovrig | rapid: yes there is, but it just says that it has ben blocked, not why | 15:26 |
| rmrfslash | not sure of course how to reload this file but.... | 15:26 |
| rmrfslash | let me try a logout/login | 15:26 |
| rmrfslash | actually, that shouldn't work | 15:26 |
| acovrig | rmrfslash: is there an init.d script for it? | 15:27 |
| less | rmrfslash: probably by sudo kill -HUP dhclient. | 15:27 |
| doughed2003 | nowireless: try the wicd program .it works better . well for me it does. you will need to connect with an ethernet cable and go to synaptic and un-install network manager and then install wicd | 15:27 |
| shadyabhi | acovrig: u have /etc/hosts.deny file? | 15:27 |
| acovrig | yes | 15:27 |
| acovrig | shadyabhi: and I get added to it the instant I start denyhosts | 15:28 |
| alanteh | hello, | 15:28 |
| nowireless | doughed2003: thx for the suggestion, I'll try it to see if it works. :) | 15:28 |
| rapid | theres a back up somewhere which will readd it | 15:28 |
| rapid | was a pain | 15:28 |
| doughed2003 | nowireless: it's a belkin right? | 15:28 |
| rmrfslash | OK that worked | 15:28 |
| rapid | but not any host.. | 15:28 |
| none | I'm having a problem with a linux/module.h file the compiler doesn't see it, but i've sort of wrote the correct path /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/include -- that's where the linux/module.h is... can't figure out what's the problem | 15:29 |
| acovrig | shadyabhi: why do I get added to deny.hosts when I start it? | 15:30 |
| Cajun_Lan_Man | Hello all. Might anyone have an idea as to why I can't get my full 1280x1024 resolution while using my TRENDnet KVM? It says it supports Linux, yet my issue remains. Monitor only runs at 1024x768. I don't think it's the KVM, because Windows works fine on it. Thoughts? | 15:30 |
| jrbaker8 | has anyone been able to get a broadcom 4318 wireless chipset to work on 10.04? | 15:30 |
| shadyabhi | whats does you "SYSLOG_REPORT" say? | 15:31 |
| shadyabhi | acovrig: whats does you "SYSLOG_REPORT" say? | 15:31 |
| Euthanatos | is there a way to change the maximum screen size for xrandr? | 15:31 |
| fintoad | anyone install Fire Vox for MOzzila Firefox? | 15:32 |
| Euthanatos | i have a 16:9 monitor with 1920x1080p but xorg has been giving me a lot of trouble configuring it | 15:32 |
| rapid | acovrig, they might be in /var/lib/denyhosts and added automatically once its restart. | 15:32 |
| acovrig | shadyabhi: u mean 'cat /var/log/syslog'? | 15:33 |
| abhi_nav | fintoad, what is fire vox? | 15:33 |
| eoke | Cajun_Lan_Man: Is it connected via DVI or RGB? | 15:33 |
| azlon | how can i mount a samba location? | 15:33 |
| shadyabhi | ya.. is there anything relevant there... | 15:33 |
| shadyabhi | acovrig: ya.. is there anything relevant there... | 15:33 |
| fintoad | abhi_nav, it reads web pages for you | 15:33 |
| Cajun_Lan_Man | eoke: RGB | 15:33 |
| Dr_Willis | azlon: via command line, fstab, or gnome gui. Or some other tools can help in automating it. | 15:33 |
| abhi_nav | fintoad, !!! | 15:33 |
| Cajun_Lan_Man | eoke: But there is a DVI to RGB adapter between the PC and the cable going to the KVM | 15:34 |
| azlon | Dr_Willis, so something like this: sudo mount smb://name/location /mnt/foldername | 15:34 |
| === orneo121 is now known as orneo1212 | ||
| fintoad | abhi_nav, http://clickspeak.clcworld.net/ | 15:34 |
| xray_tsk | Cajun_Lan_Man: KVM kills all useful information... | 15:34 |
| shadyabhi | azlon: u want them to be started at boot time? | 15:34 |
| eoke | Cajun_Lan_Man: Normally when you connect via DVI the computer can get information about your monitors capabilities EDID. | 15:34 |
| VCoolio | azlon: browse it with nautilus (places > network); if you want to use mount command read up on cifs (you're going to need mount -t cifs) | 15:35 |
| fintoad | abhi_nav: it works in firefox | 15:35 |
| azlon | shadyabhi, eventually, but right now i would settle for anything | 15:35 |
| Cajun_Lan_Man | eoke: seems like I should be able to force Ubuntu to just understand that my monitor can do 1280x1024 | 15:35 |
| abhi_nav | fintoad, ok | 15:35 |
| eoke | Cajun_Lan_Man: Because you're using a converter your monitor is not able to get this data. You can export it though whilst connected to it via DVI and then manually specify it in your Xorg using the "CustomEDID" option. | 15:35 |
| acovrig | shadyabhi: no, but rapid did have a good idea, and yes my host was listed in /var/lib/denyhosts/hosts | 15:36 |
| sequethin | im confused, dpkg keeps telling me "Package is in a very bad inconsistent state", I can't upgrade it, reinstall it, remove it, force it to remove, purge... nothing | 15:36 |
| Tootoot222 | azlon: with nautilus, ctrl+l to open the go-to bar, and put smb://server/share/ | 15:36 |
| Cajun_Lan_Man | eoke: that sounds like a great idea. | 15:36 |
| Cajun_Lan_Man | eoke: would that be done with the *gasp* CLI? | 15:36 |
| azlon | Tootoot222, but i want it mounted in my /mnt folder... i can access the folder from nautilus | 15:36 |
| shadyabhi | azlon: http://linux-junky.blogspot.com/2010/02/auto-mounting-partitions-samba-shares_21.html | 15:37 |

| fintoad | ok | 15:37 |
| eoke | Cajun_Lan_Man: Do you have an nvidia graphics card? | 15:37 |
| Tootoot222 | you can sudo mount -t cfis -o username=name /mnt | 15:37 |
| Tootoot222 | azlon: ^ | 15:37 |
| azlon | shadyabhi, awesome, thanks! | 15:37 |
| ifancho | tnx for the help | 15:37 |
| ifancho | worked fine | 15:37 |
| Tootoot222 | ifancho: sweet | 15:37 |
| azlon | Tootoot222, thanks! | 15:38 |
| acovrig | shadyabhi: it is a good thing that I found this, started daemon yesterday, now I have 15 in my denyhosts/hosts file! (on the debian box-port22, ubuntu box uses 2222) | 15:38 |
| shadyabhi | azlon: use "-o" option with mount if you have password protected shares | 15:38 |
| fintoad | anyone know how to find Java plugin in ubunutu | 15:38 |
| Cajun_Lan_Man | eoke: intel | 15:38 |
| Cajun_Lan_Man | eoke: onboard | 15:38 |
| Tootoot222 | fintoad: you have to enable the partener repo | 15:38 |
| acovrig | shadyabhi: and about a month ago, I got a email (setup in .profile) saying that someone loged on from Romania | 15:38 |
| xray_tsk | By the way | 15:38 |
| vkareh | is there a way to have Gmail (or Google Reader!) notifications on the indicator applet? | 15:38 |
| BluesKaj | sequethin, sudo fuser -vki -term /var/lib/dpkg/lock then sudo dpkg --configure -a | 15:38 |
| fintoad | TooToo222: I have it installed, typed about:plugins in addy bar of firefox and it is listed but where is it on my pc | 15:39 |
| sequethin | BluesKaj: will try thanks | 15:39 |
| shadyabhi | acovrig: frankly, I am not much into this stuff . pls ask someone else... | 15:39 |
| xray_tsk | I having a trouble when pressing ALT+TAB. Sometimes xorg doesn't feel that tab is already unpressed, and sends TAB event to the active application... | 15:39 |
| xray_tsk | Does anyone have the same problem? | 15:39 |
| acovrig | shadyabhi: thats ok, it works now | 15:39 |
| pozic | My mount.ntfs segfaults, while on other machine it works just fine. Is there some known good version which doesn't have this problem? | 15:40 |
| xray_tsk | Having the true Mitsumi Classic keyboard :-\ | 15:40 |
| eoke | Cajun_Lan_Man: I've only ever acquired it from an nvidia card using their proprietary nvidia-settings tool. But theres something in the repos that might help read-edid | 15:40 |
| vkareh | but that's for firefox, not for the ubuntu indicator applet :P | 15:40 |
| gonzaloaf | hello, baed on what does google set the location? For example, I want to use www.google.com.pe as my default search engine, how can I do that? | 15:40 |
| pozic | I can mount USB sticks on the same USB port without issues. | 15:40 |
| Glakke | Does anyone have a software to overclock (or specifically downclock) ATI graphic cards? I've dried ATI Overdrive which comes with the drivers, however this doesn't let me downclock at all. ATI HD4870 | 15:40 |
| shadyabhi | acovrig: how did u get the problem solved? | 15:40 |
| sequethin | BluesKaj: your fuser command string results in invalid option "-t" | 15:41 |
| fintoad | vkareh: r u talking to me | 15:41 |
| vkareh | nope | 15:41 |
| fintoad | ok | 15:41 |
| Cajun_Lan_Man | eoke: I just had another idea. My monitor has both a DVI and a RGB port on it. I may just use the RGB for my windows box, and the DVI for my Ubuntu box. That way I can bypass the KVM for video altogether. | 15:41 |
| BluesKaj | sequethin, sudo dpkg --clear-avail | 15:41 |
| rmrfslash | RGB port? | 15:42 |
| sequethin | BluesKaj: ok --clear-avail is something i haven't tried | 15:42 |
| rmrfslash | do you mean VGA? | 15:42 |
| hrp2171 | hello. need to install kernel 2.6.33.5 in 10.04, do you have any good links for ubuntu howtos? thanks. | 15:42 |
| eoke | Cajun_Lan_Man: Yeah that works I do a similar thing the only down side is it can be a little slow to switch between the two. | 15:42 |
| Cajun_Lan_Man | rmrfslash: RGB = VGA | 15:42 |
| Freeaqingme | hmm, it now happens several days that all my letters show up uppercase as if I'd be using capslock. how do I fix that? It's not my keyboard since I swapped that already | 15:42 |
| fintoad | my about:plugins shows a file named libnpjp2.so under Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_20, but I can't find a Java directory or the lib file | 15:43 |
| acovrig | shadyabhi: my host was listed in /var/denyhosts/hosts file, so denyhosts was putting them in /etc/host.deny at startup | 15:43 |
| pozic | How am I supposed to mount an ntfs file system with only broken drivers? | 15:43 |
| Cajun_Lan_Man | eoke: I think I may even have to press a button on the monitor to get it to do so. Oh well. It will still allow me to have both at one desk. Space is precious where I have them. | 15:43 |
| pozic | The last update was done in March for the Ubuntu version. | 15:43 |
| rmrfslash | acorvig: any reason you're not using iptables? | 15:43 |

| pozic | fintoad: I don't care about Grub at the moment. | 15:44 |
| gonzaloaf | hello, how can I specify google to search in my country? | 15:44 |

| gonzaloaf | rapid, You can set the language there, but not the country | 15:45 |
| fintoad | pozic: ok, just trying to help | 15:46 |
| ks3 | frxstrem, dockbarx will give you the icon style taskbar and also has an option for window previews | 15:46 |

| frxstrem | ks3: okay, thanks : | 15:46 |
| Joeman7777 | does anyone know how i can make the icons load on the left at startup and clean-up on the left as well? | 15:46 |
| Cajun_Lan_Man | eoke: I'm using the smallest of these 4, to give you an idea. If it wasn't so small I'd have a cheap nVidia card in it. http://www.itreviews.co.uk/graphics/normal/hardware/h809.jpg | 15:46 |
| pozic | Even read-only would be an acceptable solution for now. | 15:46 |
| fintoad | pozic: I understand, seems like u have tried all I know | 15:46 |
| hrp2171 | gonzaloaf, try adding your country's 2 letter abbreviation to google.com: www.google.com.uk for example | 15:47 |
| azlon | VCoolio, if i am trying to mount a folder from one ubuntu machine to another is it better to use samba or nfs? | 15:47 |
| eoke | Cajun_Lan_Man: I still think you'll be able to do it I've just never done it on an intel card to give you exact steps. | 15:47 |
| gonzaloaf | hrp2171, yeah, I know that I can use www.google.com.pe for my country, but I want to set it as default | 15:47 |
| hrp2171 | did a search and some guy from australia uses: www.google.com.au | 15:47 |
| Cajun_Lan_Man | eoke: well you've pointed me in the right direction. I appreciate the help. | 15:47 |
| gonzaloaf | hrp2171, Does google base this configuration in a locale setting of Ubuntu? | 15:48 |
| eoke | Cajun_Lan_Man: No worries best of luck | 15:48 |

| X3 | gonzaloaf: add as homepage or bookmark | 15:48 |
| acovrig | /bin/ircnot | 15:48 |
| VCoolio | azlon: I never used nfs, try it and keep what suits you best | 15:48 |
| hrp2171 | gonzaloaf, it's based on IP | 15:48 |
| eoke | gonzaloaf: What country are you trying to limit your results | 15:48 |
| acovrig | rapid: do you know how? | 15:49 |
| gonzaloaf | eoke, I want to search as my country Peru | 15:49 |
| hrp2171 | gonzaloaf, looks like creating a bookmark is your best bet | 15:49 |
| hrp2171 | just went into my search settings and there's no country default option | 15:49 |
| hrp2171 | just language | 15:49 |
| sequethin | so basically once dpkg is mad at you there is nothing you can do? | 15:50 |
| timemachine3030 | can I list all package that are installed with apt-get? dpkg -l lists all packages, I just want the leaves, not packages installed as dependencies | 15:50 |
| BluesKaj | sequethin, how about , sudo apt-get install --reinstall packagename | 15:50 |
| sequethin | tried | 15:50 |
| rapid | google.pe | 15:50 |
| eoke | gonzaloaf: google.com.pe | 15:50 |
| rapid | acovrig, not sure | 15:50 |
| acovrig | sequethin: lol, what did you do? | 15:50 |
| acovrig | /bin/ircnot | 15:50 |
| gonzaloaf | eoke, hrp2171: If I set the language of google as English it makes a global search, now I tried setting it as Spanish, I now it makes a local search www.google.com.pe | 15:50 |
| gz0 | ls | 15:50 |
| gonzaloaf | eoke, yeah, I know that I can use www.google.com.pe for my country, but I want to set it as default | 15:50 |
| BluesKaj | sequethin, so you tried sudo apt-get -f install too? | 15:51 |
| sequethin | acovrig: I tried to run aptitude safe-upgrade, and apparently the packages for zend server ce are weird | 15:51 |
| acovrig | /bin/ircnot | 15:51 |
| hrp2171 | gonzaloaf, do you have a gmail account? | 15:51 |
| gz0 | anyone know why after changing the mac address of my wireless card, I cant connect to the internet? ive been googling, but nothing reliable is turning up for me | 15:51 |
| hrp2171 | just checking | 15:51 |
| gz0 | thanks | 15:51 |
| sequethin | BluesKaj: i tried that yes, i tried force, purge, reinstall... apt-get aptitude dpkg | 15:51 |
| BluesKaj | ok | 15:51 |
| eoke | gonzaloaf: Not sure I follow but wouldn't you just set your home page to google.com.pe | 15:51 |
| gz0 | If i change the mac address back to normal, then it connects fine, via nm-applet | 15:51 |
| sequethin | going to try again maybe you have a magic touch, maybe it will work now that you said something | 15:51 |
| acovrig | sequethin: did you try uninstalling them, then installing them? | 15:51 |
| sequethin | acovrig: i can't! that's the problem! i can't remove it, it says I should reinstall before attempting to remove | 15:52 |
| acovrig | /bin/ircnot | 15:52 |
| rapid | gz0: could be possible that your router was associated with your mac.. (i doubt it though, unless that was setup) | 15:52 |
| sequethin | then when i try to reinstall it says i have to run dpkg configure, then when i run that it says i should reinstall, around and around i go | 15:52 |
| BluesKaj | !dpkg hell | 15:52 |

| duffydack | I think I have found a bug in Lucid (netbook if it matters) and SSH. I know what I`m doing and used it plenty in the past but it keeps asking for my password when loggin, altho the server has my key and pubkeyauth is enabled.. I removed everything ssh and re-did it all and it was ok but for no reason its started again.. | 16:06 |
| DjAngo23 | mawst, Google right ? | 16:06 |
| eoke | DjAngo23: I did my kitchen using blender probably a bit over kill though. | 16:06 |
| DjAngo23 | Is that working on Ubuntu ? | 16:06 |
| DjAngo23 | eoke, bit overkill yeah ;) | 16:07 |

| gbillings | now how should i partition each? i was thinking ext3 for "/boot" ext3 for "/" swap for "swap" and ext3 for "/home" | 16:39 |
| durt | FlintWestWood, wouldn't that be bluetooth? | 16:39 |
| silvan46 | ciao | 16:39 |
| doughed2003 | FlintWestWood: you could try the Wicd program but you would need to connect to your router with a cable and un-install network manager then install wicd but i don't know if it would help | 16:39 |
| erUSUL | gbillings: ext4 for everything ( excpt swap of course) | 16:39 |
| Dr_Willis | gbillings: why not use ext4 :) | 16:40 |
| ActionParsnip | gbillings: i use 5Gb /, 3Gb swap and the rest for /home | 16:40 |
| Riiiis | ech0, hmm not daap, its a dap (Digital Audio Player) and its just a mp3-player, so its on the pc i have the problem | 16:40 |
| FlintWestWood | no, the phone has both wifi and bluetooth. in the us its called a tmobile g1. its a htc android phone | 16:40 |
| gbillings | ok what makes ext3 < ext4? | 16:40 |
| FlintWestWood | how do i stop the network manager in 10.04 | 16:40 |
| ActionParsnip | gbillings: it's not better, its different. both have advantages and disadvantages | 16:40 |
| ech0 | ahhh, sorry cabt help, i missread as daap (itunes server basically), my bad, sorry again | 16:40 |

| gbillings | ok wish me luck in my partitioning! thank you everone! this is one thing that windows doesent have... an AWESOME community :) | 16:41 |

| newbizCAT | I'm creating a database using ooBase. Fields in a table are: "Name", "AttemptsSucceeded" and "NumberOfAttempts". I made a query with a calculated field "Result" which comes from ("AttemptsSucceded" / "NumberOfAttempts") * 10. The problem is that ooBase forces me to set "AttemptsSucceeded" and "NumberOfAttempts" to a couple of Decimals, otherwise it gives just "0" or "1" as a result. Why is that? | 16:41 |
| ech0 | <Riiiis> good luck, off top of head most media players in*buntu have plugins for supporting different mp3 players | 16:41 |

| === AmberJ is now known as TechSupport | ||
| newbizCAT | thanks iflema ;) | 16:43 |
| sequethin | if anyone is interested, I was able to resolve my "package is in an inconsistent state" issue by going into /var/lib/dpkg/info/, removing the related files, and then removing/purging with force the package by name. what a pita that was! but thanks again BluesKaj and others who helped me out | 16:43 |
| Dr_Willis | RyanP: you using sun java? or the other java? that may be an issue. I cant get it work at all.. because I dont have a yahoo account. :) | 16:44 |
| p1l0t | gidna: my bad yahoo games has changed.. it used to be all online now you have to download them. Your going to need to install vmware or wine or something because there are not made for linux | 16:44 |
| === iPhone is now known as Guest41277 | ||
| ActionParsnip | sequethin: yeah ive seen folk have to do that | 16:44 |
| durt | sequethin, what package was that? | 16:44 |
| ActionParsnip | sequethin: its one weakness in package based systems | 16:44 |
| Dr_Willis | p1l0t: it seems to depend on the game. some are win exe's with web 'versions' that are limited.. | 16:44 |
| gbillings | ok one last question. should i have tmp on a seperate partition | 16:44 |
| moises | where can vmware be found at, i've tried online for the past 2 weeks and nothing | 16:44 |
| Dr_Willis | !vmware | moises | 16:45 |
| ubottu | moises: VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware | 16:45 |
| ech0 | i have tmp as a tmpfs | 16:45 |
| ActionParsnip | gbillings: i never have personally | 16:45 |
| gidna | What should I do if I want to play chess? | 16:45 |
| LjL | are these games multiplayer? because if not, there's certainly lots of chess games in the repos | 16:45 |
| Dr_Willis | moises: you may want to try virtualbox | 16:45 |
| docmur_ | is there away to get it to select the lanugage and country from the preseed | 16:45 |
| RyanP | Dr_Willis, Yes, sun java. | 16:45 |
| moises | alright thanx | 16:45 |
| LjL | gidna: is this multiplayer or do you play against a computer? | 16:45 |
| sequethin | durt: it was zend-server ce, i have no idea what happened i just ran aptitude update and safe-upgrade like i usually do but today it caused a problem | 16:45 |
| gidna | multiplyer | 16:45 |
| gbillings | virtuabox is now owned and managed by oracle :( | 16:45 |
| sequethin | durt: once you start using 3rd party repos... who knows what will transpire haha... ;) | 16:46 |
| ech0 | i may survive under oricle, maybe | 16:46 |
| LjL | gidna: there is a client for the GGZ Gaming Zone in the package 'ggz-gtk-games'. you might want to try that instead | 16:46 |
| LjL | or 'ggz-kde-games' if you're running KDE | 16:46 |
| RyanP | gidna, Do you have java installed? | 16:46 |
| durt | sequethin, ah, well find 'em and give 'em hell for that waste of time, file a bug etc. | 16:47 |
| BluesKaj | sequethin, usually aptitude tracks the dependencies quite well and seldom screws up | 16:47 |
| gidna | yes I do | 16:47 |
| beli | hi there! i want to send a file to my mobile via bluetooth. i tried to start the bluetooth stack via sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth start, but gives no output and checking its status tells me that its still not started. what to do? | 16:47 |
| p1l0t | gidna: Ubuntu Software Center (or synaptic pakage manager) and search chess you will find online multiplayer versions | 16:47 |
| gidna | may be a missing plugin... | 16:47 |
| joanne | /msg CalebJamesDeLisl | 16:48 |
| RyanP | gidna, Do you know what installation of Java you're using? Do you have the java plugin installed for your browser? I'm using Ubuntu, I was able to start the chess program you linked to. (Well I changed to a Canadian site) | 16:49 |
| NFischer | i want to download file "http://whatever/1" to "http://whatever/15" throuegh wget, ho do i do that? | 16:50 |

| cannonball | could be. eoke was on to something though. I plugged it directly in to the computer, it saw it, mounted it, and started up rhythmbox. It used to do that when plugged into my hub on 9.10, but now with 10.04 it looks like I need to plugin direct. | 17:40 |

| eoke | Sorry wireshark trying to answer a few queries at once. | 18:02 |
| dominicdinada | wireshark: make sure you are only using ONE of those at a time | 18:02 |
| wireshark | dominicdinada: the problem began when i installed the java | 18:03 |
| Helloer | Hello, my ubuntu 10.04 hangs on "running /scripts/init-bottom Done." how i can fix it? | 18:03 |
| dominicdinada | wireshark: well the obvious first step would be to remove it. reinstall it or other | 18:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Yo yo yo | 18:04 |
| wireshark | dominicdinada: i tried to remove it but i couldnt | 18:04 |
| aeon-ltd | ActionParsnip: yo yo yo | 18:04 |
| dominicdinada | wireshark: did you get any warnings on install that the browsers were open ? | 18:04 |
| dominicdinada | wireshark: reinstall? | 18:04 |
| wireshark | dominicdinada: i try to open the synaptic | 18:04 |
| wireshark | and says this | 18:04 |
| wireshark | This usually means that another package management application (like apt-get or aptitude) is already running. Please close that application first. | 18:04 |
| ActionParsnip | !aptfix | wireshark | 18:05 |
| mike_bowman | How does one open the terminal? a friend told me about it and I forgot exactly what he told me. | 18:05 |
| ubottu | wireshark: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 18:05 |
| wcchandler__ | This isn't ubuntu related but you ugys are usually pretty nice and helpful -- I'm on Windows XP and I can't resolve an IP address -- it gets stuck on "acquiring IP address" and returns a 0.0.0.0 for the IP. Within Ubuntu or any livecd I can resolve an IP just fine. If I set the XP machine up for a static IP all if fine then too. Could this be a virus causing this problem? Some weird setting somewhere? I've disabled the Windo | 18:05 |
| wireshark | mike_bowman: what is this? | 18:05 |
| bazhang | wcchandler__, ##windows for windows support | 18:05 |
| mike_bowman | the Terminal? | 18:05 |
| dominicdinada | wireshark: this is the FOURTH time I have SAID, USE ONLY ONE AT A TIME | 18:05 |
| wireshark | ActionParsnip: | 18:05 |
| x-calibur | dominicdinada: thx for the howto. The only problem i seem to have is postfix using domain.local as sender adress, it should be domain.com, how can i change that? | 18:05 |
| wireshark | but how i can do this dominicdinada? | 18:05 |
| eoke | wireshark: have you run "apt-get update" after "dpkg --configure -a" | 18:05 |
| wireshark | i don't know | 18:06 |
| wireshark | yes eoke | 18:06 |
| ActionParsnip | wcchandler__: change dns to 8.8.8.8 . If the address is on LAN and static you could add an entry to your hosts file | 18:06 |
| dominicdinada | wireshark: well there is software center/aptitude or synaptic.... close all but one of those | 18:06 |
| wireshark | i don't have anything open | 18:06 |
| wireshark | there are all closed | 18:06 |
| ActionParsnip | wcchandler__: otherwise you lan dns should resolv it, make sure its address is in your list of dns servers | 18:07 |
| subone | I'm using bluetooth stereo headphones with my system. How can I tell by the cli if the headphones are in use so I can control their volume rather than Master volume (which doesn't effect the headphone volume) by the cli? | 18:07 |
| dominicdinada | did you try the -f (force) | 18:07 |
| dominicdinada | sudo apt-get install -f | 18:07 |
| ActionParsnip | !bluetooth | 18:07 |
| ubottu | For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup | 18:07 |
| aeon-ltd | subone: o suppose you could use alsamixer for the volume of input/ouptut devices | 18:08 |
| wcchandler__ | ActionParsnip: why would that work? I'm not able to acquire an IP from the router... It's not a domain name resolution problem | 18:08 |
| x-calibur | dominicdinada: thx for the howto. The only problem i seem to have is postfix using domain.local as sender adress, it should be domain.com, how can i change that? | 18:08 |
| dominicdinada | x-calibur: I have not used local domains I have always used say Gmail... or other smtp servers not local ones | 18:08 |
| wireshark | i gave this command eoke dpkg --configure -a and it says | 18:08 |
| wireshark | dpkg: status database area is locked by another process | 18:08 |
| wireshark | 18:08 | |
| ActionParsnip | wcchandler__: are you using the right driver? | 18:08 |
| x-calibur | where do i change that in my config files? | 18:08 |
| wireshark | which another process is this? | 18:08 |
| wireshark | grrrr | 18:08 |
| dominicdinada | x-calibur: Like i said I have not used local mailers... i use phpmailer. | 18:09 |
| azlon | what is the ati graphics driver package? | 18:09 |
| x-calibur | oh ok tx anyway | 18:09 |
| eoke | wireshark: Try "ps ax | grep dpkg" | 18:09 |
| wcchandler__ | ActionParsnip: that was a thought, but if I had a bad driver wouldn't it not work at all rather than not work with DHCP? | 18:09 |
| ActionParsnip | wireshark: run the command ubottu gave. It will free up the packages. Make sure there are no updates or installs going and close synaptic / aptitude / software centre | 18:09 |
| dominicdinada | ActionParsnip: I have told him that 4 times | 18:10 |
| wireshark | sudo apt-get install -f | 18:10 |
| wireshark | this? | 18:10 |
| ActionParsnip | wcchandler__: not sure there fellah.i'd ask in ##windows | 18:10 |
| Kull | Can anyone direct me to a link describing how an Ubuntu minimal command-line install is any different from the Debian miniaml install? With just a kernel and core-utils isnt Ubuntu just debian? | 18:10 |
| wireshark | dominicdinada: ? | 18:10 |
| ActionParsnip | !aptfix | wireshark | 18:10 |
| ubottu | wireshark: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 18:10 |
| dominicdinada | wireshark: STOP entering all these random commands | 18:10 |
| ActionParsnip | wireshark: read ALL of that | 18:10 |
| Kull | Can anyone direct me to a link describing how an Ubuntu minimal command-line install is any different from the Debian miniaml install? With just a kernel and core-utils isnt Ubuntu just debian? Not the installation process, but the actual system. | 18:10 |
| aeon-ltd | Kull: no it never will be due to branding during pkg installs | 18:11 |
| dominicdinada | wireshark: there is more than one instance of package managers open fix that problem first | 18:11 |
| ActionParsnip | !ot | kull | 18:11 |
| ubottu | kull: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 18:11 |
| wcchandler__ | ActionParsnip: Thanks for the thought... | 18:11 |
| livingdaylight | hi, can someone help me so that webring doesn't come up everytime I start up ubuntu for the first time. I'd like it to just detect and hook unto wireless without having to enter passwd, anyone? | 18:11 |
| Kull | ActionParsnip: the answer to my question will inform my Ubuntu support question. I had no idea asking about Ubuntu here was verbotten. | 18:11 |
| ActionParsnip | wcchandler__: check for a later driver is all I can offer really | 18:11 |
| wireshark | dominicdinada: it says kill process? i accept it? | 18:12 |
| wireshark | process 1835* | 18:12 |
| dominicdinada | wireshark: I was not the person whom told you to PS | grep for dpkg but I would assume so | 18:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Kull: the channel is for people with issues with their OS. Ubuntu related questions are fielded in offtopic | 18:12 |
| wireshark | ActionParsnip: ? | 18:12 |
| dominicdinada | wireshark: then follow ActionParsnip's link | 18:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Kull: don't get smart | 18:12 |
| Kull | WTF are you talking about, "get smart"? | 18:13 |
| wireshark | i am so confused guys | 18:13 |
| dominicdinada | !language | kull | 18:13 |
| ubottu | kull: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 18:13 |
| Helloer | Hello, my ubuntu 10.04 hangs on "running /scripts/init-bottom Done." how i can fix it? | 18:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Kull: with the verbotten stuff. Sounded flippant | 18:13 |
| eoke | wireshark: If you've only got one process listed that's the process you're using to look for the process, so don't worry about it. | 18:13 |
| Kull | Ok, screw this, I dont need assholes giving me a hard time for nothing. Is it any wonder everyone thinks the ops in here are morons? | 18:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Kull: again that's offtopic, I'm not an op either | 18:14 |
| wireshark | eoke: so i accept it? | 18:14 |
| subone | Aeon-ltd: that doesn't answer my question. How can I tell if the headphones are in use (obviously this is by remote and in a script, I can tell if my headphones are on if I turned them on) | 18:14 |
| wireshark | ActionParsnip: i have to type Y? | 18:14 |
| eoke | wireshark: Stick with what dominicdinada is telling you for the time being, I didn't realise he was already assisting you when you asked me by name again. | 18:14 |
| dominicdinada | wireshark: first check your ps | grep for dpkg, then if only one instance is running try to force the install... if not follow ActionParsnips link to fix dpkg | 18:14 |
| eoke | wireshark: The command I gave you shouldn't be asking you to kill anything. | 18:14 |
| dominicdinada | fix apt* | 18:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Wireshark: if asked then I guess so, I can't read your screen so you will have to read and see what's going on | 18:15 |
| wireshark | ActionParsnip: there is one process 1835 | 18:15 |
| ActionParsnip | wireshark: the command usbottu gave will fix your packages lock dude :) | 18:15 |
| wireshark | ActionParsnip: which one | 18:15 |
| ActionParsnip | wireshark: then kill it or reboot | 18:15 |
| wireshark | you sent it to me a lot of commands | 18:16 |
| ActionParsnip | wireshark: ok, the text ubottu gives you. Read it all | 18:16 |
| wireshark | i confused | 18:16 |
| ActionParsnip | !aptfix | wireshark | 18:16 |
| ubottu | wireshark: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 18:16 |
| ActionParsnip | wireshark: the long command in the quotes is what you need | 18:16 |
| wireshark | ok | 18:16 |
| wireshark | ActionParsnip: this command i gave | 18:16 |
| ActionParsnip | wireshark: I've given you it 3 times now | 18:16 |
| wireshark | sorry guys | 18:17 |
| ActionParsnip | wireshark: from sudo to -a, all that? | 18:17 |
| wireshark | ActionParsnip: there is one process named 1835 | 18:17 |
| wireshark | and says y or n | 18:17 |
| wireshark | do i type y? | 18:17 |
| ActionParsnip | wireshark: sure go for it | 18:17 |
| ActionParsnip | wireshark: if you are being asked if you want to kill the process | 18:18 |
| wireshark | yes ActionParsnip | 18:18 |
| wireshark | it says if i wnat to kill this process | 18:18 |
| ActionParsnip | wireshark: you haven't told us what you are being asked to respond to | 18:18 |
| clayg | How do I disable the touchpad on my netbook? | 18:18 |
| ActionParsnip | wireshark: ok then yes kill it good | 18:18 |
| wireshark | ActionParsnip: Kill process 1835 ? (y/N) | 18:19 |
| dominicdinada | clayg: system prefs mouse ? | 18:19 |
| ActionParsnip | wireshark: better information than last time don't you think.. rather than just "do I say yes or no" | 18:19 |
| wireshark | :S | 18:19 |
| wireshark | do i type yes? | 18:19 |
| ActionParsnip | wireshark: yes kill it, that process is locking the packages | 18:20 |
| clayg | dominicdinada, dont see an option to completely disable it | 18:20 |
| wireshark | ok | 18:20 |
| clayg | is there any other way to completely disable the touchpad on my netbook? | 18:20 |
| RFleming | I need some help :) ... MD and LVG, on boot run-init reports that /sbin/init doesn't exist, the kernel panics and I die. When booting into recovery mode, the raid is fine, the LVG mounts and the file is there. Now someone unplugged the box by accident and MD1 is resyncing. This box also ran fine for 427 days previously | 18:20 |
| enthdegree | I'm currently gimping 16 4288*2848 images and browsing the web on a heavily-Javascripted website on firefox while preforming a distrobution upgrade. On a netbook. | 18:20 |
| dominicdinada | wireshark: ActionParsnip a simpler solution might just be to reboot? let the system fix the packages/unlockit | 18:20 |
| p1l0t | enthdegree: win | 18:20 |
| ActionParsnip | wireshark: please remember to give full details. I can't see your screen and am not yet psychic so you will need to furnish helpers with information | 18:20 |
| wireshark | ActionParsnip: THNX A LOT | 18:21 |
| wireshark | :):):) | 18:21 |
| wireshark | it was only one command | 18:21 |
| clayg | How do I disable the touchpad on my netbook? | 18:21 |
| ActionParsnip | dominicdinada: look like we got there, reboots are for windows ;) | 18:21 |
| dominicdinada | ActionParsnip: Not Vista or 7 :D | 18:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Clayg: you could rmmod the module that makes it fly | 18:21 |
| p1l0t | ActionParsnip: key word "yet" | 18:21 |
| clayg | ActionParsnip, how is that done? and making it fly is the same as disabling it? that is what im trying to do | 18:22 |
| ActionParsnip | dominicdinada: most of the record uptimes are bsd and linux based ;) | 18:22 |
| clayg | I was using touchfreeze on my dell mini 10 and it worked like a charm | 18:23 |
| dominicdinada | ActionParsnip: Not to be to far off topic but Server 2008 is taking linux seriously :D that is powerful as heck! :D | 18:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Clayg: sudo lshw | less ,read down til you see the touchpad and note the driver name. Then you can run: sudo rmmod foo ,replace foo with the name | 18:23 |
| clayg | but that same program on this aspire netbook stops working after a while | 18:23 |
| dominicdinada | brb | 18:23 |
| dustybin | why does ubuntu rely on rubbish pulse audio? | 18:23 |
| dustybin | i want to install mplayer-nogui without pulse audio | 18:24 |
| clayg | ActionParsnip, i tried that and everything was on one line so it was hard to read anything besides the one it rested on | 18:24 |
| dustybin | i cannot do it | 18:24 |
| ActionParsnip | dominicdinada: funny how its taken microsoft this long to get it somewhere right. Its pathetic | 18:24 |
| clayg | ActionParsnip, cancel that its working | 18:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Clayg: use cursors to scroll | 18:24 |
| azlon | how can i create a laucher for a terminal window? i tried using terminal as the program but it didnt work | 18:25 |
| p1l0t | ActionParsnip: it was in the past more profitable to make unstable systems that need lots of support ($$) | 18:25 |
| dustybin | what will ubuntu do in the next release? rename /etc/passwd to /etc/ubuntu_passwd | 18:25 |
| ActionParsnip | p1l0t: yeah true | 18:25 |
| eoke | azlon: gnome-terminal will start a terminal window in gnome if that's what you mean. | 18:25 |
| lighta | Hi guys. I downloaded a big file 1go move it into /media/Data wich is a share partition with windows then went on windows put didn't see my file, neither when I come back in unbuntu :( where can I found it ? I've check lost+found already | 18:25 |
| clayg | ActionParsnip, it lists alot of things but i dont see the touchpad anywhere | 18:25 |

| ActionParsnip | Lighta: is the partition on a usb device | 18:26 |
| MaJic_NinJa | how do i browse to my ubuntu computer from my windows 7 computer | 18:26 |
| wireshark | ActionParsnip: and the other guys i am totally grateful | 18:27 |
| ActionParsnip | !samba | MaJic_NinJa | 18:27 |
| ubottu | MaJic_NinJa: 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. | 18:27 |
| lighta | no ActionParsnip it's an NTFS partition mounted at session start /etc/fstab | 18:27 |
| p1l0t | lighta: it may still be on that share location, but the samba share no longer mounted | 18:27 |
| wireshark | thnx again | 18:27 |
| dustybin | how can i make ubuntu karmic use alsa as default instead of pulse audio? | 18:27 |
| p1l0t | lighta: oh on the same drive you mean? | 18:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Lighta: could try running: sync | 18:27 |
| ActionParsnip | !sound | dustybin | 18:28 |
| ubottu | dustybin: 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. | 18:28 |
| lighta | well p1l0t I don't used samba here to see what in there | 18:28 |
| dustybin | ubottu: i am running fluxbox, i have no applets | 18:28 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:28 |
| dustybin | i have no gnome | 18:28 |
| lighta | yes well it's physicaly the same disk but different partition | 18:28 |
| cousin_mario | hello | 18:28 |
| durt | ActionParsnip, clayg, you can use synclient to temporarily disable the touchpad. | 18:28 |
| p1l0t | !hi | cousin_mario | 18:28 |
| ubottu | cousin_mario: 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! | 18:28 |
| clayg | durt, just tried didn't work | 18:28 |
| cousin_mario | when is thunderbird 3.1 going to be packaged for lucid? | 18:29 |
| clayg | durt, issued "synclient TouchPadOff=1" | 18:29 |
| erUSUL | !backports | cousin_mario | 18:29 |
| ubottu | cousin_mario: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 18:29 |
| durt | clayg, =0 | 18:29 |
| b0fh_ua | Hi. I got SmartQ V5 device with Ubuntu 5.5 installed. Sadly, but wifi suddenly died. I do know where to get updates for software, installed on it. The question is - how do I find the dependencies of particular package, to update it "offline"? And how do I update things offline in ubuntu? | 18:29 |
| durt | clayg, er, nevermind | 18:30 |
| arand | cousin_mario: In the main repositories, likely never, find a PPA (mozilla team..) or see if it's in backports | 18:30 |
| dominicdinada | ActionParsnip: Correct, But now they have gotten it right. | 18:30 |
| p1l0t | cousin_mario 3.0.4 is available... | 18:30 |
| lighta | no change after sync ActionParsnip | 18:30 |
| ActionParsnip | dominicdinada: we'll see | 18:30 |
| cousin_mario | p1l0t: I'm aware of that, thank you | 18:31 |
| cousin_mario | arand: oh | 18:31 |
| bazhang | cousin_mario, it was released today? | 18:31 |
| cousin_mario | bazhang: I believe so | 18:31 |
| lighta | no other Idea to found my file ? | 18:31 |
| bazhang | cousin_mario, then not in main repos, as ara nd said | 18:31 |
| thune3 | lighta: if the partition wasn't mounted at the time of the move, the file could be in the directory of the mountpout. You could check this by unmounting the partition and looking in the mountpoint directory. | 18:31 |
| cousin_mario | bazhang: but will it be available in the official lucid repositories in the near future? | 18:32 |
| bazhang | cousin_mario, unlikely in the extreme, backports or PPA are your best shot | 18:32 |
| durt | cousin_mario, only if it fixes serious security issues. | 18:33 |
| === abhi_nav_ is now known as abhi_nav | ||
| lighta | the partition where mounted right thune3 (used to work) but it may be unmounted badly (elictricity crash) | 18:33 |
| cousin_mario | durt: I see | 18:33 |
| cousin_mario | I suppose I'll have to wait for 10.10 then | 18:33 |
| cousin_mario | thanks everybody | 18:33 |
| cousin_mario | bbl | 18:33 |
| erUSUL | cousin_mario: using backorts or a ppa for an app like TB should be pretty safe | 18:33 |

| raven | how to run a tool on a machine but to tunnel graphics over ssh? | 18:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Raven: do you mean run graphical apps over ssh? | 18:44 |
| peturi | erUSUL: use '|tee filename' instead of '>> filename' | 18:45 |
| guntbert | raven: connect to the machine with ssh -X (big X) | 18:45 |
| erUSUL | peturi: tee will overwritte too. if you want to use tee *and* append is "tee -a" | 18:45 |
| raven | guntberg ActionParsnip guntberg was right tnx | 18:45 |
| peturi | erUSUL: ofcourse :) | 18:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Raven: if the client is windows then install xming, it will give an xserver for apps to stick to | 18:45 |
| lighta | erf thune3 this would be 9h dl lost :(, but it's strange cause I remenber see file on unbunut after reboot but wine couldn't open it so I went on windows then it disapear >< | 18:46 |
| ActionParsnip | raven: if its a linux desktop then you have one. Connect with: ssh -X user@server | 18:46 |
| s0l1dsnak3123 | How would I route an outgoing attempt to connect to an ip to nothing, similar to the way a HOSTS file works in windows? | 18:46 |
| jaf1230 | I have a Vaio PCG-TR3a. It has Intel 855GM onboard video. When I try to boot the 10.04 livecd, it gets to the splash screen, and after a short bit, my display turns off. I've tried ctrl+alt+f(1,2,7). I've also tried nomodeset. The same thing happens when I connect an external monitor. Any ideas? | 18:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Raven: add an ampersand on the end of graphical commands so you get the session control back and can type more commands while the gui app runs | 18:47 |
| jaf1230 | s0l1dsnak3123: /etc/resolv.conf ? | 18:47 |
| dominicdinada | ActionParsnip: Xming ? nothing in aptitude for it | 18:47 |
| erUSUL | s0l1dsnak3123: /etc/hosts <<< you know windows stole the idea from UNIX | 18:47 |
| s0l1dsnak3123 | erUSUL - no, i did not :) | 18:47 |
| erUSUL | s0l1dsnak3123: the whole idea of the network and with it the hosts file | 18:47 |
| dominicdinada | aptitude search xming ................. results in nothing returned | 18:47 |
| marc__ | I'm having a weird bug with Ubuntu Lucid, I've installed it on my HTPC (amd triple code, integrated ati hd3200), the video/audio playback is choppy every 10-15 seconds, I've tried the default video drivers and the proprietary one... I check the cpu but there's no spike when the 'hang' occurs, I'm all out of idea here :( anyone had that kind of problem with lucid? | 18:48 |
| guntbert | dominicdinada: you don't need that in linux - only in windows (as ActionParsnip said) | 18:48 |
| s0l1dsnak3123 | erUSUL - I didn't know that - thank you :) | 18:48 |
| thune3 | lighta: you've tried find command and mlocate, to see if it is actually somewhere else? | 18:48 |
| dominicdinada | guntbert: SWEET | 18:48 |
| dominicdinada | is it freeware ? | 18:48 |
| sebsebseb | Hi | 18:48 |
| ActionParsnip | dominicdinada: yes its free | 18:49 |
| ActionParsnip | jaf1230: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html | 18:49 |
| lighta | mlocate ? | 18:49 |
| dominicdinada | ActionParsnip: checking out the site now | 18:49 |
| dominicdinada | ActionParsnip: So thats a replacement for all the gosh aweful VNC,RDP apps on windows ? | 18:50 |
| guntbert | dominicdinada: xming? yes but there is mobaxterm too (last off topic line from me) | 18:50 |
| ActionParsnip | dominicdinada: its dead handy if you want to check emails remotely as the config / files on the remote system are used. Plus its secure unlike vnc | 18:50 |
| Exavion | Anyone here run ubuntu on a laptop and know any good tools / tips to extend time while running on battery? Preferably something automatic that isnt the default power manager? | 18:51 |
| thune3 | marc__: what media player are you using when problem happens? | 18:51 |
| ActionParsnip | dominicdinada: its just another option really. I do most stuff via ssh cli and web interfaces. Vnc is a bit vulgar imho | 18:51 |
| dominicdinada | guntbert: Thats not off topic I was always looking for a better RDP,VNC for Windows to Linux. All the searches previously resulted in horrible apps | 18:51 |
| marc__ | thune3, I tried VLC and Totem | 18:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Exavion: use lxde or another light desktop | 18:51 |
| dominicdinada | ActionParsnip: But from what I can see you can use apps on it as well :D | 18:51 |
| lighta | oh thune3 thx i'm seeing it on mlocate, but not in thunar but at least is alive thx =) I'll continue with bash^ | 18:51 |
| ActionParsnip | dominicdinada: or definately | 18:51 |
| ActionParsnip | dominicdinada: if you run nautilus you should get a full desktop | 18:52 |
| Exavion | ActionParsnip: Such as fluxbox? something that doesnt use a full X environment? | 18:52 |
| dominicdinada | ActionParsnip: Guntbert: thats on my windows 7 next time I boot it up | 18:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Exavion: just something light like that, uses less cpu so it can step down and run slower == less power used | 18:52 |
| dominicdinada | ActionParsnip: I did install the Gnome Desktop on the server :D | 18:52 |
| thune3 | marc__: odd question, do you have browser open when problem happens? | 18:53 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: well its meant to do it with text boot instead of Plymouth, theme, the black before log in show shows, but maybe that link will help to get rid of that as well :D | 18:53 |
| ActionParsnip | dominicdinada: kinda pointless, why not just install the desktop iso? | 18:53 |
| Exavion | Thanks ActionParsnip | 18:53 |
| marc__ | thune3, hmmm, yes... let met go close everything and check again. brb | 18:53 |
| guntbert | dominicdinada: you can put mobaxterm even on an usb stick - no need to install it | 18:53 |
| dominicdinada | ActionParsnip: ? I did ? Xorg,Gnome...... Its the basic desktop with all the apps | 18:53 |
| ActionParsnip | sebsebseb: possibly. | 18:54 |
| ActionParsnip | dominicdinada: yes but installing the server to then install a desktop environment is a bit silly | 18:54 |
| dominicdinada | ActionParsnip: Well some tasks for me way easier to do gui. :D | 18:54 |
| p1l0t | dominicdinada: and when you update if your not careful you will lose the gui | 18:55 |
| dominicdinada | But thanks for giving me that. Yesterday there was a Guy in here asking for such a program | 18:55 |
| dominicdinada | p1l0t: Already did once when i wasnt paying careful attention | 18:55 |
| p1l0t | me too :P | 18:55 |
| thune3 | lighta: mlocate shows files that existed when updatedb ran last (usually daily), it may not be current. | 18:55 |
| p1l0t | Now I have a netbook though with lucid netbook so the server is pure | 18:56 |
| dominicdinada | p1l0t: Burn me once blah blah, Burn me twice Blah me | 18:56 |
| ActionParsnip | dominicdinada: then install desktop if you need a desktop. Server is headless for security and to reduce impact on the system. You have the same system you would have got had you installed the desktop system. You haven't gained anything | 18:56 |
| dominicdinada | ActionParsnip: My home servers are just for remote stuff not in a production enviroment | 18:57 |
| dominicdinada | ActionParsnip: not to mention gnome,xorg etc can be removed | 18:57 |
| ActionParsnip | dominicdinada: maybe so but its still a pointless excercise to install server to then throw a gui on it | 18:57 |
| lighta | thune3, yeah I did man mlocate. mlocate he found my file cp /.../myfile ./ ; file not found; sync; mlocate and cp again; no change :( | 18:57 |
| dominicdinada | ActionParsnip: unlike the basic desktop package | 18:58 |
| ActionParsnip | dominicdinada: you can strip the desktop of x and gnome and it will boot to command line | 18:58 |
| dominicdinada | ActionParsnip: :D ok ok | 18:58 |
| marc__ | thune3, still stuttering but less frequently... I only have totem opened and it's every 30-40 seconds :( | 18:59 |
| dominicdinada | wait wait wait with xming you need minigw :( | 18:59 |
| marc__ | thune3, and again if I monitor cpu usage it's always below 30% on all core | 19:01 |
| ActionParsnip | dominicdinada: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/ | 19:01 |
| dominicdinada | my question is do you need minigw, cygwin etc | 19:01 |
| ciss_ | hi, i'm pretty new two the concept of piping. i've figured out how to output the content of each file found by "find", but how do i prepend the file name? | 19:02 |
| jaf1230 | ActionParsnip: Your solution (i915 configuration) worked for me, thanks! | 19:02 |
| dominicdinada | minigw OR cygwin, Cygwin is quite horrible in my opinion for the amount of space it takes you might as well just Dualboot the pc | 19:03 |
| ActionParsnip | jaf1230: np bro | 19:03 |
| th1 | dominicdinada, or run ubuntu inside virtualbox | 19:04 |
| ActionParsnip | dominicdinada: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/files/Xming/ bit easier, its standalone. You'll need to tell putty to allow x forwarding etc | 19:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Th1: not if you want to remote manage servers or access you desktop apps in a thin client stylee | 19:04 |
| dominicdinada | ActionParsnip: Ahhh I see thanx | 19:04 |
| erUSUL | ciss_: prepend to what ? what output do you expect? | 19:04 |
| jozefk | i installed 10.04 on ibook g4 most of the things are fine but some things don't work. I can't change the server to any other than main | 19:04 |
| dominicdinada | cygwin is to bloated :D | 19:04 |
| dominicdinada | maybe use microlinux | 19:05 |
| jozefk | and because of that I can't install flash. when I reload in synaptic it's always giving me some error messages | 19:05 |
| thune3 | marc__: well you can make changes to allow you to nice your process <0, you can run top -d 0.2, to see a finer resolution for a process that periodically spikes, and latencytop is sometimes helpful in identifying what might be "blocking" every 20seconds. | 19:05 |
| moises | any good websites on where to setup a network? | 19:05 |
| th1 | jozefk, what do you mean you can't change the server? | 19:06 |
| moises | with over 90 client computers | 19:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Th1: not if you want to remote manage servers or access you desktop apps in a thin client stylee | 19:06 |
| jozefk | dominicdinada, microlinux what is that for? | 19:06 |
| dominicdinada | moises what kind of network ? Filesharing, Print sharing, Music library sharing, medibuntu | 19:06 |
| moises | filesharing | 19:06 |
| ciss_ | erUSUL, i want to list the file name including the full path, followed by a line break, followed by the file content | 19:06 |
| jozefk | th1, the server in synaptic | 19:06 |
| th1 | ActionParsnip, ssh? ;) | 19:06 |
| mouse | My mouse cursor stays white no matter what color or size I change it to. Anyone know how to fix this small annoyance? | 19:06 |
| Jork | Hello. I am was downloading some video from youtube with youtube-dl command line and now I can't find it. In wich directory dowload the video? | 19:06 |
| dominicdinada | jozefk: I was saying that it is nice and tiny to run linux apps.... | 19:06 |
| th1 | jozefk, have you tried editing /etc/apt/sources.list with an editor | 19:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Moises: grab a router and some patch cables or use wireless. Network is yours | 19:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Th1: indeed. Great for netbook | 19:06 |
| jozefk | th1, not yet. let me see that one now | 19:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Th1: plus all configs are on the server so backups are simpler | 19:07 |
| th1 | ActionParsnip, exactly | 19:07 |
| butterfly | jork,in home/downloads | 19:07 |
| th1 | ActionParsnip, or if you really gui hungry then vncserver will do nicely | 19:07 |
| erUSUL | ciss_: find dir/ -name '*whatever*' -exec sh -c 'echo -e "$1\n" && cat "$1"' _ '{}' \; | 19:07 |
| moises | i have a switch hub, and etc.... | 19:07 |
| duffydack | Jork, whatever folder you were in when you ran it. find ~ -iname "*.flv" (or use *.mp4) | 19:08 |
| moises | no wireless... | 19:08 |
| h00k | moises: because this isn't on topic to Ubuntu support, you should ask elsewhere | 19:08 |
| duffydack | ugh, erUSUL put me to shame. | 19:08 |
| dominicdinada | moises: I use Ubuntu Server for a "File Server" Actually when I said filesharing I didn't mean the p2p torrent sort i meant a Fileserver none the less Server works good | 19:08 |
| Jork | butterfly. But my download folder is empty | 19:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Th1: I find it vulgar, especially if only one app is needed. Many apps can be managed via web interface (esp torrents) which is sleeker and lighter on the network | 19:08 |
| h00k | moises: perhaps try #ubuntu-offtopic or somewhere else | 19:08 |
| guntbert | moises: there is ##networking | 19:08 |
| ciss_ | erUSUL, thanks in advance, i'll just need a few minutes to chew that one :) | 19:08 |
| moises | thankz guntbert | 19:08 |
| th1 | ActionParsnip, mostly command line is better than web guis | 19:08 |
| erUSUL | duffydack: ;) just iddle a while each day in #bash | 19:08 |
| th1 | ActionParsnip, all good torrent clients have cli interfaces and also nntp clients etc. | 19:09 |
| dominicdinada | h00k: guntbert I think he was asking about where or what to setup a fileserver | 19:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Th1: true. I use that most on my server but my g1 has a sexy app which plugs into transmission. Click a torrent on phone web browser and my fileserver is told to download it B) | 19:09 |
| th1 | ActionParsnip, nice but could probably be done with a shell script that you associate with torrent mime type in the browser ;) | 19:10 |
| th1 | not sure if G1 supports shell scripts but Maemo phones do | 19:10 |
| butterfly | jork,try to search the file in place>search for file in file system | 19:11 |
| Jork | hm still I can't find it | 19:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Th1: the browser is the one running on my phone locally. Nothing to do with ssh or stuff like that, the app knows how to talk to the remote server | 19:11 |
| th1 | ActionParsnip, still I prefer not to have non-ssh holes in my firewall | 19:11 |
| th1 | ActionParsnip, so most I do from phone etc. would have to be ssh tunnelled anyway | 19:11 |
| zimbres | hi, I am facing an irritating problem: When the monitor sleeps the no-break fan is switched on, what may be causing this? I would expect that to happen on the opposite way ... | 19:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Th1: its http based and I have some security on there so should be fine | 19:12 |
| Hasufin | apparently, after a massive update, 10.04 isn't loading aacraid in initramfs (I have a perc 320/dc scsi controller, and googling that.... seems like that raid controller requires that kernel module) | 19:12 |
| pushpop | hi all I have dual monitors but I can seem to get the main monitor on the right it always defaults to the left monitor. Is there anyone t hat could assist? | 19:13 |
| Hasufin | I did an lsmod....... make sure it loads that so it can boot on the raid | 19:13 |
| ActionParsnip | pushpop: what video card? | 19:13 |
| pushpop | intel on board | 19:13 |
| pushpop | has two dvi's | 19:13 |
| th1 | ActionParsnip, I do that for MythWeb and some other stuff but I use https and authentication | 19:13 |
| erUSUL | !search ramfs | 19:13 |
| ubottu | Found: blacklist, usplash | 19:13 |
| erUSUL | !blacklist | Hasufin | 19:13 |
| ubottu | Hasufin: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 19:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Th1: yeah I have auth as well as mac filter to allow only my phone to access the port | 19:14 |
| th1 | ActionParsnip, mac filter won't work on the go | 19:14 |
| Hasufin | thanks erUSUL | 19:14 |
| th1 | ActionParsnip, maybe OpenVPN for the phone if it's ported to G1 | 19:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Pushpop: you could set it up then maybe run: sudo Xorg --configure ,I think it writes the current config to the file. You can always delete / rename the xorg.conf file if its no good | 19:15 |
| th1 | ActionParsnip, I tried it on my Symbian phone but the OpenVPN port was too flaky.. | 19:15 |
| syron | hey guys, I had to uninstall wine to install a patched version via source. My question is, how can I make it work using wine command outside the source folder? (wine works inside the source folder) | 19:15 |
| pushpop | ok | 19:15 |
| butterfly | hello all i have 10 gb space for ubuntu and not having too much softwares but the free space in now only 1 gb,how this possible?? | 19:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Th1: I'm not that paranoid, what I have is good enough for me :) | 19:15 |
| th1 | syron, you could download the ubuntu .diff and apply it to your patched tree then do fakeroot debian/rules binary to create a real package | 19:16 |
| erUSUL | butterfly: check out where the space is wasted with Aplications>accesories>disk use analizerç | 19:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Butterfly: remove some old kernels to free up space. You may also want to fsck the partition if the space is being incorrectly reported | 19:16 |
| marc__ | thune3, weird, I don't see any process going high, instead all process drop to 0 when the stutter happen.... | 19:16 |
| syron | th1, thanks, but do u know a tutorial page, where I can read that, since Im pretty new to that stuff and Im using ubuntu for about a week now | 19:17 |
| ActionParsnip | butterfly: also install bleachbit and run it as both root and yourself but watch your browser settings as it'll wipe favourites etc. Also avoid the steps that say they will take a long times | 19:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Butterfly: removing old kernels will get you abou 120mb per kernel | 19:18 |
| Hasufin | erUSUL: I'm booting off the live cd.... I can run edit the /etc/initramfs-tools/modules on the on the raid root disk..... and run update-initramfs -u for it? | 19:18 |
| augustl | can ubuntu 10.04 use xorg 1.8 (i.e. no hal)? | 19:18 |
| jozefk | th1, I can't change the server in /etc/apt/sources.list | 19:18 |
| th1 | syron: there are many, you could google for "build package from source ubuntu" . but the quick and dirty version: apt-get build-dep wine; apt-get source wine; <apply your patch>; cd wine-x.y; dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot | 19:18 |
| th1 | jozefk, what's the error message | 19:18 |
| erUSUL | Hasufin: if you can mount the root filesystem ( inclusing boot) chroot to it and do the mods in the chroot | 19:18 |
| syron | th1, thank you very much :) | 19:19 |
| Hasufin | erUSUL: ok! | 19:19 |
| ActionParsnip | augustl: sure, you may have to compile if there is no ppa | 19:19 |
| erUSUL | Hasufin: how to chroot is explained in the grub2 wiki page | 19:19 |
| erUSUL | !grub2 | Hasufin | 19:19 |
| ubottu | Hasufin: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 19:19 |
| augustl | ActionParsnip: ppas are precompiled packages right? | 19:19 |
| pushpop | it Xorg.conf how does it Identify your main monitor? | 19:19 |
| ActionParsnip | augustl: yes 3rd party unofficial repositories. Use at your own risk (most are fine) | 19:20 |
| augustl | I guess my real question is wether ubuntu depends on xorg 1.7 explicitly for some reason | 19:20 |
| happyface | Is there any HTML5 hardware acceleration coming for linux? (in any browser?) | 19:20 |
| augustl | ActionParsnip: tnx | 19:20 |
| cannonball | eoke: I found more detail about the ipod issue. The fs is hfs+, which results in the error that "hfs: write access to a journaled filesystem is not supported, use the force option at your own risk, mounting read-only.". This is a brand new ipod. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/49052 describes it exactly. | 19:20 |
| th1 | syron, probably also "apt-get install build-essential fakeroot" | 19:20 |
| augustl | happosade: I would imagine linux support will be added to any stable release | 19:20 |
| ActionParsnip | augustl: i'd look into the xorg edgers ppa but the x you get may be flaky | 19:20 |
| delta_07 | hello | 19:21 |
| syron | th1, sorry for bothering you, but you wrote "apply your patch", do I have to do it in a specific folder? don't know where the source ends up using apt-get source wine | 19:21 |
| thune3 | marc__: yeah that's odd. | 19:21 |
| augustl | running arch at the moment and it comes without x, so using 1.8 is pretty easy ;) | 19:21 |
| augustl | I'd love to have the convenience of stuff just working though.. | 19:21 |
| th1 | syron, after you do apt-get source it will get the wine sources and unpack them for you under the current directory | 19:21 |
| augustl | perhaps I'll break that by using xorg 1.8, hmz | 19:21 |
| pushpop | what is the actual file name for xorg.conf and where is it located? | 19:21 |
| syron | th1, okidoki, thank you | 19:21 |
| augustl | pushpop: /etc/X11/xorg.conf in 1.7 | 19:21 |
| pushpop | what do you mean 1.7?? | 19:22 |
| augustl | pushpop: xorg-server version 1.7 | 19:22 |
| augustl | pushpop: in 1.8, it's /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/*.conf | 19:22 |
| pushpop | ubuntu 10.04 | 19:22 |
| augustl | pushpop: I'm pretty sure 10.04 use 1.7 ;) | 19:22 |
| pushpop | is 1.8? | 19:22 |
| th1 | syron, instead of dpkg-buildpackage you can do: chmod 755 debian/rules ; fakeroot debian/rules binary - then it will only build the binary packages and not documentation etc.. | 19:22 |
| augustl | pushpop: I'm also pretty sure it's configured via HAL fdi policies, not xorg.conf directly | 19:23 |
| pushpop | crap | 19:23 |
| syron | th1, oh ok, I'll give it a try, thanks again | 19:23 |
| pushpop | no idea how to do this | 19:23 |
| augustl | pushpop: do what? | 19:23 |
| jozefk | th1, http://i49.tinypic.com/nmdowi.png | 19:23 |
| pushpop | I have dual monitors and the default monitor is on the right when I want it on the left. | 19:23 |
| pushpop | doesnt let me use the left as default | 19:23 |
| pushpop | onboard intel 4500 | 19:24 |
| augustl | pushpop: there is a GUI to configure that isn't there? | 19:24 |
| pushpop | yes | 19:24 |
| augustl | in System > Preferences, probably | 19:24 |
| pushpop | but it doesnt let me put the default monitor on left | 19:24 |
| pushpop | thats the problem | 19:24 |
| marc__ | thune3, thanks for your help, but I give up... let's go back to stupid windows xp where everything work right away but have to reinstall every 6 months because everything start to go slow (after 5 months boot time is over 4 minutes)... | 19:24 |
| pushpop | =P | 19:24 |
| augustl | pushpop: "doesn't let me"? | 19:24 |
| pushpop | it only sets the monitor on right has default | 19:25 |
| th1 | jozefk, sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring | 19:25 |
| pushpop | no matter what I do it doesnt let me use left monitor as default | 19:25 |
| th1 | jozefk, and then sudo apt-get update | 19:25 |
| ActionParsnip | marc__: funnily enough I have to give sound drivers and wireless drivers in windows, in linux all my hardware works out of the box | 19:25 |
| thune3 | marc__: it is probably fixable, but it would take some time and frustration. | 19:25 |
| ubutom_ | marc__, can't confirm thatm my xp never had a boot time that lonog, no matter how much I installed | 19:25 |
| augustl | pushpop: I shouldn't have tried to help you tbh, I have no idea what might be the problem ;) | 19:26 |
| perlsyntax | i found my driver for my build in modem but i get boot off why is this?? | 19:26 |

| ubottu | sandy__: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 19:27 |
| marc__ | thune3, yeah, but I only have today to fix the HTPC ... so I must move on :( | 19:27 |

| boyriot | really? | 19:30 |
| erUSUL | Hasufin: maybe you have to manually load the module in the livecd too ? | 19:30 |

| perlsyntax | ? | 19:32 |
| Cryp71c | shadyabhi, I used synnaptic when the problem originally came up. Its not downloading them that's the issue, its the installation/configuration that is done. | 19:32 |
| perlsyntax | any ideas? | 19:32 |
| ActionParsnip | sandy__: click applications. Click accessories. Click terminal. Use the keyboard now and press the t key, then the o key, then the p key, this spells top. Now press enter | 19:33 |
| yshavit | when I run "sudo ldconfig", I get "/sbin/ldconfig.real: /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.5 is not a symbolic link". I've checked, and that's true -- it exists, but it's not a symlink. How should I fix that? Ubuntu 10.04 64bit | 19:33 |

| ActionParsnip | sandy__: the top process in the list where most text looks the same is the one using most cpu time | 19:33 |
| ActionParsnip | sandy__: what is its name | 19:33 |

| ActionParsnip | sandy__: the list are all the processes running on you pc, the top one is the cpu heaviest | 19:35 |
| Cryp71c | shadyabhi, I'm not using mysql anymore on this system, I'd likely just like to remove it, I think. but each time I try to open up synnaptic to flag it for removal, I get an error because the process did not complete properly the last time (because the mysql update failed) | 19:35 |

| th1 | erer, probably some issue where it can't find the BIOS id... you can try the Alternate installer and install from that and skip grub then use a bootable grub to install it natively, but it requires you to understand how grub works | 19:43 |
| th1 | deedub, reboot :) | 19:43 |

| th1 | jozefk, I think you maybe have a syntax error in /etc/apt/sources.list or one of the files in lists.d | 19:45 |

| erer | thx alll | 19:45 |
| pushpop | c3l thats true. | 19:45 |
| jozefk | th1, i haven't change anything manually in any of those files | 19:46 |
| Lucasbuntu | the problem is: i no encounter ¨driver¨ for my SiS 330 Mirage, i´m using ubuntu 10.04 | 19:46 |
| c3l | pushpop: yes, it shocked me too the first time. really strange, and merging the images is a hazzle, especially if you want to change often ;p | 19:46 |
| jozefk | i'm telling you that's because I can't change the server. actually that's what i think is the reason | 19:46 |

| brax | Alright, I am confused. I'm trying to set up a webserver and I can't seem to do it. | 19:47 |
| jozefk | maybe flash is not working on PPC at all.. | 19:47 |
| th1 | jozefk, forget it ;) | 19:47 |
| th1 | jozefk, I think there was a wrapper once, that would allow those plugins to be run from qemu | 19:48 |
| Lucasbuntu | thank you th1 | 19:48 |
| oCean_ | brax: better share some details .. | 19:48 |
| brax | My setup is: a cable runs through the wall, through a filter, into the modem, which then has a wire, that leads to the wireless netgear router. | 19:48 |
| th1 | jozefk, the gnash plugins etc are very crappy in my experience and will not show many things | 19:48 |

| sebsebseb | LuciusMare: right Plymouth issue | 19:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | airdem, livecd only i believe | 19:49 |
| sebsebseb | LuciusMare: Whats boot up like? Ok? | 19:50 |
| jozefk | maybe for PPC there is no other server actually.. | 19:50 |
| Hasufin | erUSUL: i did another modprobe aacraid and it recognized it | 19:50 |
| airdem | ZykoticK9, is here an alternative way to make the mini.iso bootable? | 19:50 |

| ZykoticK9 | airdem, not that i'm personally aware of, good luck :) | 19:50 |

| duffydack | airdem, what wy have you tried. | 19:51 |
| brax | oCean_: I can never seem to connect to it if I did set up apache. | 19:51 |

| bosky101 | can someone with a SSD post their /etc/fstab please | 19:52 |
| oCean_ | brax: connect from where to where? What setup? Are apache processes running? Is it possible to connect from localhost? Is it possible to connect by ip? Give (the channel, not me) the details of what you did. Try to keep the description in one single line | 19:52 |
| duffydack | airdem, its a bit long winded for what it is..basically just make a small partition for the loader, another for the iso, install the loader and cat the iso to the 2nd partitions. simples. | 19:52 |

| sandy__ | i need help to figure out why my system is running really slow. tried to install avg antivirus for linux and could not get it to work | 19:52 |
| sebsebseb | LuciusMare: so it freezes and then you got to turn the computer off using the power button yourself? | 19:53 |
| sebsebseb | !virus | sandy__ | 19:53 |
| ubottu | sandy__: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 19:53 |
| c3l | sandy__: dont use some crappy AV in linux, thats worthlss | 19:53 |
| LuciusMare | sebsebseb: Yes, I am not quite sure if i am not damaging it in some way :/ | 19:53 |
| c3l | sandy__: the system will never get infected unless you run as root normally | 19:53 |
| ubutom_ | sandy__, system specs? | 19:53 |
| sebsebseb | LuciusMare: right well | 19:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | LuciusMare, to find your gfx card use "lspci | grep -i vga" in a terminal | 19:54 |
| sebsebseb | LuciusMare: Plymouth is used for the graphical boot up and shut down in 10.04, but there are quite a few issues with it | 19:54 |
| sandy__ | ubutom how do i get those | 19:54 |
| maco | sandy__: c3l is forgetting the possibility that you *could* have your system infected if you go out of your way to install/run software from untrusted sources | 19:54 |
| LuciusMare | Sorry, it's a school computer, I haven't got access to it right now, but after I will get it, what should I try? | 19:54 |
| maco | sandy__: sticking to the Software Center is the safe way to avoid that | 19:54 |
| sandy__ | maco i dont i am very careful what i install | 19:55 |
| maco | sandy__: good :) | 19:55 |
| win_2_linux | i thought i was difficult for linux to get affected? | 19:55 |
| luke-jr | sandy__: if you stick to supported software, you won't get a virus. simple as that. | 19:55 |
| maco | win_2_linux: by automatic means, sure | 19:55 |
| airdem | what pkg do i have to install for nvidia drivers? there are so much of them | 19:55 |
| maco | win_2_linux: but by user-did-something-bad... | 19:55 |
| luke-jr | win_2_linux: you can get infected if you try to do something stupid | 19:55 |
| sandy__ | maco the only on line game i play is evony | 19:55 |
| brax | Okay, I have it installed on the desktop. I can connect by localhost. One thing that hampers me is that my ISP doesn't support static IP's. And my LAN addresses aren't 192.168.*, they're 10.0.*. | 19:55 |
| c3l | maco: who is evil enough to run non-free software? | 19:55 |
| maco | win_2_linux: ther'es no patch for gullibility. if someone lies to a user and says "run this its really fun" and they're gullible enough... | 19:56 |
| ubutom_ | sandy__, things like processor type, amount of ram, hd-space, etc | 19:56 |
| sebsebseb | sandy__: you don't need anti virus unless your going to be passing on files to Windows, As long as you stay with trusted software sources, so the Ubuntu repos or offical websites, should be alright. | 19:56 |
| brax | The weird thing is, I can connect to the modem AND the router via a web browser, and they both have port forwarding options. | 19:56 |
| LuciusMare | sebsebseb: Sorry, it's a school computer, I haven't got access to it right now, but after I will get it, what should I try? | 19:56 |
| sebsebseb | LuciusMare: you can disable the graphical plymouth boot up, that may help with shut down as well | 19:56 |
| c3l | maco: itd be unethical and immoral = | 19:56 |
| win_2_linux | i don't listen to people | 19:56 |
| ubutom_ | sandy__, should bes omewhere in the menus, fail atm to find it | 19:56 |
| sebsebseb | LuciusMare: its a lap top yeah? | 19:56 |
| LuciusMare | sebsebseb: no, a school desktop | 19:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | airdem, is one of the options Recommended? use Current if you can. | 19:56 |
| maco | win_2_linux, sandy__: http://www.slideshare.net/macoafi/security-4484394 <-- the non-virus security things normal people still have to think about on linux | 19:56 |
| maco | c3l: yet phishing sites still exist | 19:57 |
| maco | c3l: oh you mean running proprietary software? | 19:57 |
| maco | c3l: it could be a bash script.. not closed, can be read fine...except for the bit where most people cant read bash scripts | 19:57 |
| sandy__ | ok now 1 last problem since i updated to ubuntu 10.4 i cant open windows at all. it is still duel boot but windows just wont open | 19:57 |
| sebsebseb | LuciusMare: turning the computer off using the power button with Ubuntu should be alright, since the computer knows its going to shut down. and I tend to do this with this computer, and its still working fine since March 2007, or whenever it was bought | 19:57 |
| c3l | maco: well the repos are being checked for malicious code | 19:58 |
| sebsebseb | LuciusMare: well using another distro on here now, but same thing when it comes to turning off | 19:58 |
| tomatto_ | please, how can i specify language when i am booting ubuntu live from usb flashdisk? | 19:58 |
| maco | c3l: which is why i say to use them | 19:58 |
| sebsebseb | LuciusMare: its if you turn it off using the actsual plug switch, that you could probably do damage to the computer, as far as I know | 19:58 |
| c3l | maco: oh :D then I guess we agree on every point | 19:58 |
| maco | c3l: but you could find a script online or get an email that tells you to run something...and if you're gullible do it... and even if that script is human readable, it may not be readable to *you* as the user if its in a language you dont know | 19:58 |
| LuciusMare | sebsebseb: well, a thing is ACPI shutdown, when the button sends a signal to computer to run it's shutdown sequence, and another thing is this brutal holding the power button until it shuts off, which i am forced to do | 19:59 |
| sebsebseb | LuciusMare: right, but I tend to turn this computer off, by holding down the power button :) and its still working fine after all this time | 19:59 |
| LuciusMare | oh, okay :) | 20:00 |
| maco | sebsebseb: that is called luck | 20:00 |
| sebsebseb | maco: yes maybe | 20:00 |
| monkey_dust | how do I know if Plymouth is on or off and what is the difference with GDM? | 20:00 |
| sebsebseb | LuciusMare: however in your case it crashes when its meant to be shutting down, so it really does know its meant to be going off :D | 20:00 |
| LuciusMare | It does crash? :D | 20:01 |
| sebsebseb | LuciusMare: probably just the theme crashing or something, so maybe the text boot instead of Plymouth theme, will help, but thats a bit ugly | 20:01 |
| === Funky_ is now known as FunkySayu | ||
| sebsebseb | LuciusMare: basically it would show a black screen, untill the log in screen shows. and text when it wants to show for boot up and shut down. | 20:02 |
| LuciusMare | sebsebseb: all that matters is, if it will work, thank you, i will try it :) | 20:02 |
| LuciusMare | bye | 20:02 |
| sebsebseb | silly people who leave, before can even tell them, how to do something. ah well | 20:02 |
| c3l | maco: youre right, you must have the assumption of that the general public being more or less stupid =) | 20:03 |
| sebsebseb | monkey_dust: Plymouth is the graphical boot up and shut down, so its there by default in 10.04. GDM is the default log in screen for Ubuntu. | 20:04 |
| rokon | hello | 20:04 |
| maco | c3l: ignorant, not stupid. ignorance is curable (ie, they could /learn/ to read scripts and code) | 20:04 |
| monkey_dust | sebsebseb, how do I disable plymouth? | 20:04 |
| sebsebseb | monkey_dust: (well being more exact GDM 2 since 9.10, which sadly isn't as good as the old version) | 20:04 |
| ZykoticK9 | tomatto_, i've never had to change languages before myself, but is the language you're looking for one of the 7 available on the livecd? http://www.ubuntu.com/project/derivatives you might have to install the language support you are looking for. good luck. | 20:04 |
| sebsebseb | monkey_dust: why do you want to disable Plymouth whats the issue? | 20:05 |
| monkey_dust | sebsebseb, I want to boost my system | 20:05 |
| c3l | maco: truetrue | 20:06 |
| sebsebseb | monkey_dust: no disabling Plymouth, probably won't help to speed it up | 20:06 |
| sebsebseb | monkey_dust: plus you can't 100% properly disable it anyway, since how its bundled into the sysetm | 20:06 |
| ZykoticK9 | monkey_dust, plymouth aims to streamline the boot process and allows faster booting | 20:06 |
| sebsebseb | monkey_dust: well you if you take a load of system stuff with it, that should be there | 20:06 |
| sebsebseb | can if | 20:06 |

| monkey_dust | sebsebseb, thanks for the tips | 20:15 |
| sebsebseb | sandy__: Which version of Vista did it come with? When did you put 98 on? Windows 98 hasn't been supported by Microsoft for years now. | 20:15 |
| sebsebseb | monkey_dust: np | 20:16 |
| sebsebseb | sandy__: Which Windows programs do you want to run? | 20:16 |

| henriquev | can someone please tell me the default value at datadir in /etc/mysql/my.cnf ? | 20:18 |
| sebsebseb | sandy__: right, but you shoudn't be using Windows 98 now online, since it hasn't been supported by Micrsooft for years. However you could virtual machine it inside Ubuntu, and keep the virtual machine offline for security reasons, and run some Windows apps, if you can't get them working in Wine or find good enough alternatives | 20:18 |
| brandon | I installed Ubuntu on a new laptop and installed the Broadcom STA wireless driver, it works fine, however everytime I boot I have to re "enable wireless" by right clicking on the network applet | 20:18 |
| sandy__ | sebsebseb in fact if i can run linux without windows on this system tell me how to take windows out and i will | 20:18 |
| airdem | is "shutdown -h now" save to run within the desktop enviroment? | 20:18 |

| sebsebseb | sandy__: not to speed up Ubuntu no | 20:20 |
| ChogyDan | my video module is not being built. Anyone know why? | 20:20 |
| sebsebseb | sandy__: also if Ubuntu is being slow, virtual machines are out at the moment I guess. | 20:21 |
| sebsebseb | sandy__: Vista needs at least 1GB RAM for I think all versions, except the starter edition for the developeing world, that can only run like three apps at once | 20:21 |

| sebsebseb | sandy__: Home Premium ok, so yeah you'll have at least 1GB RAM, and Ubuntu should be working quite well really | 20:22 |
| sebsebseb | sandy__: How did you install Ubuntu? The guided install on the Live CD? | 20:23 |
| sandy__ | sebsebseb ok then it has to be just the app i was running. | 20:23 |
| sebsebseb | sandy__: which app were you running? | 20:23 |
| sandy__ | sebsebseb an on line game | 20:23 |
| erUSUL | monkey_dust: with network manager ? right click on the applet chopose edit connections | 20:24 |
| sebsebseb | sandy__: ah yes Flash | 20:24 |
| sebsebseb | sandy__: yes Flash in Firefox in Ubuntu, and things can get slow at the moment | 20:24 |
| sandy__ | sebsebseb yes flash is involved and since it updated it slowed way down | 20:24 |
| sebsebseb | sandy__: updated from the repos? the update manager in Ubuntu? | 20:25 |
| sandy__ | sebsebseb adobe | 20:25 |
| monkey_dust | erUSUL, I mean manually, in /etc/network/interfaces | 20:25 |

| sebsebseb | sandy__: also there are loads of other browsers that you can use in Ubuntu, where Flash will probably work fine | 20:27 |
| sandy__ | sebsebseb ok i will try that. last question what about win not opening at all | 20:27 |
| sebsebseb | sandy__: I guess a Grub 2 issue of some sort | 20:28 |
| erUSUL | monkey_dust: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch05.en.html#_the_wireless_lan_interface_with_wep | 20:28 |

| sebsebseb | sandy__: Epiphany and Galeon are ok as well | 20:28 |
| sebsebseb | !browsers | sandy__ | 20:28 |
| ubottu | sandy__: Browsers available for Ubuntu: Firefox (GTK, Gecko engine), Konqueror (KDE/Qt, KHTML engine), Epiphany (GTK, Gecko engine), Dillo (GTK), w3m (terminal-based), Links2 (terminal-based or graphical, see !man page), edbrowse (command-line), Opera (Qt, proprietary) | 20:28 |
| fr1sco | i like konqueror as a file browser too | 20:29 |
| sandy__ | sebsebseb it worked fine until i loaded the ubuntu update of 10.4 | 20:29 |
| sebsebseb | fr1sco: yeah same here, but I don't tend to use it as one | 20:29 |
| wrapster | fstop doent detect my canon camera on lucid -64 | 20:29 |
| fr1sco | sebsebseb: right, unless it's needed | 20:29 |
| wrapster | any ideas guys? | 20:29 |
| sandy__ | sebsebseb after that i cant get win to open at all. still shows duel boot but win wont boot | 20:30 |
| sebsebseb | fr1sco: and they replaced Konqueror with Dolphin as the default file manager in KDE, and yeah Dolphin is nice as well :) | 20:30 |
| sebsebseb | sandy__: yes a Grub 2 issue probably | 20:30 |
| sebsebseb | sandy__: however your not meant to be running WIndows 98 like that anyway | 20:30 |
| fr1sco | sebsebseb: eh, i could take it or leave it but it's not bad | 20:30 |
| sebsebseb | sandy__: not anymore | 20:30 |
| sandy__ | sebsebseb any way to fix it? | 20:30 |
| sebsebseb | sandy__: I even did virtual machines with a not that technical woman, about three or four weeks ago, told her how to do it through IRC, and she seemed to be quite impressed | 20:31 |
| sebsebseb | sandy__: if you want Windows, well thats a great way to do it, fine for basically all apps except 3D apps | 20:32 |
| MaJic_NinJa | cool there is a new vlc for Win/linux/Mac out http://www.videolan.org/ very very nice :) | 20:32 |
| sebsebseb | !virtualbox | sandy__ | 20:32 |

| sandy__ | sebsebseb i dont do 3d apps | 20:32 |
| sebsebseb | sandy__: both are free as in price | 20:32 |
| sebsebseb | sandy__: and you could have Windows 98 and have it offline for securtiy reasons :) and yeah | 20:32 |
| sebsebseb | sandy__: Which Windows programs do you want to run? | 20:33 |
| sandy__ | sebsebseb just enough to clean some of them out and make room. thats it . | 20:34 |

| sebsebseb | !livecd | sandy__ | 20:36 |
| ubottu | sandy__: The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. | 20:36 |
| sandy__ | sebsebseb ok so if i run it again i can clean out win and do away with the part.? | 20:36 |
| sebsebseb | sandy__: yes | 20:36 |
| Guest28495 | multi_io, y | 20:36 |
| sebsebseb | sandy__: and then you could make another data partition for Ubuntu to use | 20:36 |
| sebsebseb | sandy__: or re size your Ubuntu partition, which will probably go fine, but always a slight chance of dataloss | 20:37 |
| multi_io | I have a Brother HL-5270DN printer, I'm using brother's deb packages for it and the normal cups setup (no special setups or anything) | 20:37 |

| sebsebseb | sandy__: or you could make | 20:37 |
| sebsebseb | sandy__: a seperate /home partition | 20:37 |
| sebsebseb | sandy__: right now you probably got / swap and Windows 98 | 20:37 |
| sebsebseb | sandy__: well yes if you did the guided install on the Live CD | 20:37 |
| sebsebseb | !home | sandy__ | 20:38 |
| ubottu | sandy__: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 20:38 |
| multi_io | I use chrome and go to e.g. http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TerraTec and print that site. the job hangs in the queue for half an hour or so, with a page coming out of the printer every 6 or 7 minutes. | 20:38 |
| sebsebseb | sandy__: now I set those up before installing, never done it afterwoulds, but apparnatly not that difficult to do afterwoulds | 20:39 |
| multi_io | no great CPU usage by any process during that. | 20:39 |

| sandy__ | sebsebseb ok i will run the disc i remember partions on it so i will try that . thanks | 20:39 |
| sebsebseb | sandy__: so you don't even want to run Windows programs? | 20:40 |
| multi_io | Guest28495: no windows on this machine. other people can print on the printer with windows just fine. even I could some time ago iirc. | 20:40 |
| sebsebseb | sandy__: anyway its system > administration > partition editor | 20:40 |
| sebsebseb | sandy__: on the Live CD, where you can do stuff with the partitions, and it will show you what it wil do, before pressing apply as well | 20:40 |
| sandy__ | sebsebseb since i started with linux it has everything i need to run and i like it a lot better. | 20:40 |

| om26er | Cpt_Zyph, alternate cd maybe? | 20:49 |
| Monika | Cpt_Zyph on the normal install CD you can press I think F3 or maybe it's F4 | 20:50 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: Ubuntu can be pretty bad with lap top hardware, when other distros are better, and sometimes the other way round. | 20:50 |
| Monika | look at the bottom of the screen | 20:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | Njh, for the most part multiple versions are not really available (exceptions being backports and stuff) | 20:50 |
| Monika | there you can choose options like low video then | 20:50 |
| maco | Cpt_Zyph: the alternate cd can install regardless of crap graphics support. the installed system will offer a low graphics mode at boot if thats all it can do | 20:50 |
| sebsebseb | Cpt_Zyph: try whatever distro you want, put on what works best I guess | 20:50 |
| Njh | ZykoticK9: these are personal debs | 20:50 |
| Cpt_Zyph | ya i was going to ask if htere is an alternate live version | 20:50 |

| Cpt_Zyph | and thank you guys for the sugestions | 20:52 |

| Njh | c3l: yah i know, but i want to be able to choose which one to install, even if i have to use like a force command or something | 20:52 |
| maco | Guest28495: im sorry, the false assumption that new != technical | 20:52 |
| maco | Guest28495: you can be new and technical, could be using it 10 years and not very technical at all... newness and technical skill dont really align | 20:53 |

| darolu | RedNifre: freenode.net is the server that handles all the channels, like #ubuntu (this one) | 21:38 |
| thune3 | lachouffe: i don't know, i've never seen it in pulse. i would install gnome-alsamixer and look there. | 21:38 |

| kchang | Hello. I am new to Ubuntu and I am not sure whether this is the best place to ask some noobie questions... | 21:39 |
| RFleming | Greetings! | 21:39 |
| RFleming | How can I diagnose my LVM VG? | 21:39 |
| cazc_ | bring it on :) | 21:39 |
| darolu | !ask | kchang | 21:39 |
| ubottu | kchang: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 21:39 |
| guntbert | RFleming: diagnose ? | 21:39 |
| erik__ | Can someone at least point me to a room where someone might be able to help me? | 21:39 |
| augustl | RedNifre: freenode is a server. A server has many channels, ubuntu is one of them. | 21:39 |
| kchang | I just installed ubuntu to Lenovo R60 and it's connected to an external Dell monitor, and I am not sure if it is possible to improve the resolution. | 21:40 |
| RFleming | when my system boots, run-init complains that /sbin/init can't be found and the kernel panics. It is indeed there when booting off a live-cd and the LVM filesystems check out just fine. | 21:40 |
| cazc_ | we need some more information regarding graphic card etc. | 21:40 |
| erik__ | Hey Room I'm having a pretty weird sound issue. I'm new to Linux and need some help. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit and used the standard ISO. The sound works sometimes but then it will just cut completely out or will only work through headphones. So far the only way I can get it working again is to reboot the computer. Any advice or anything? | 21:40 |
| erik__ | I also have a question about getting my laptops webcam and microphone to work on the tinychat website | 21:41 |
| RFleming | guntbert, when I deliberately change the root= in grub to the wrong path and am dropped to the (initramfs) busybox prompt, I can indeed mount the LVM VG | 21:41 |
| darolu | erik__: open the sound properties (right click the speaker icon) and make sure the right channel is being used (i.e. analog - speakers) it is possible that you have keyboard-shortcuts configured to change this values; for example if you have a multimedia keyboard | 21:41 |
| kchang | ATI X1400 128MB Graphics is apprently the graphics card that came with r60 | 21:41 |
| === slide23 is now known as slide | ||
| guntbert | RFleming: yes, what is the problem? | 21:42 |
| augustl | this might sound silly. What should I uninstall on a brand new 10.04 install? I'll uninstall the photo manager thing, for example. | 21:42 |
| slide | Is there any way to find out the type of hard drive installed? | 21:42 |
| slide | like, brand etc | 21:42 |
| augustl | slide: hdparm | 21:42 |
| erik__ | darolu: I've tried that on several occasions when the sound cuts out. It seems linux says my sound card only has one input and output, and it's always set to analog stereo. | 21:42 |
| erUSUL | slide: dmesg | grep -i ata | 21:42 |
| RFleming | guntbert, when booting, run-init complains that /sbin/init doesn't exist, the kernel then panics about not syncing and attempting to kill init. | 21:43 |
| azeryu | what i have done is : i install this linux-image-2.6.32-21-generic from software center then i reboot my pc then i do sudo update-grub but i try to do uname -r i always got this : 2.6.27-gandi-2777 : unbeliavable darolu | 21:43 |
| augustl | slide: i.e. "sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda" | 21:43 |
| erUSUL | slide: sudo hdparm -i /dev/sda | 21:43 |
| RFleming | guntbert, booting into the livecd, I can indeed see the LVM VG, I scanned the partitions and there were no errors. | 21:43 |
| c3l | what file do I edit in grub2 to change the default boot option, and timeout etc? | 21:43 |
| darolu | erik__: try to fix your channels with (in a terminal): alsamixer | 21:43 |
| slide | thanks guys! :D | 21:43 |
| RFleming | guntbert, but I can't get the box to boot. | 21:43 |
| erUSUL | c3l: /etc/default/grub | 21:43 |
| erUSUL | !grub2 > c3l | 21:44 |
| ubottu | c3l, please see my private message | 21:44 |
| guntbert | RFleming: why do you think its a lvm problem? | 21:44 |
| darolu | azeryu: when you reboot, choose the generic kernel from your grub list; if you don't see any list, press and hold shift to see the list | 21:44 |
| RedNifre | darolu, augustl: That's completely irrelevant to everything I said, but thank you for your good intentions. Bye everyone! | 21:44 |
| pb_ee1 | Hello. I've just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on an USB stick and I'm wondering how I can avoid the "Try Ubuntu (...)/Install Ubuntu" popup to show up at each startup | 21:44 |
| darolu | A friend has a notebook with WinXP installed, it doesn't boot so chkdsk or reinstall is needed, it has no CD-drive so I plan to boot WinXP installer from a USB flashdrive, I have WinXP CD, I'm creating a .iso file of it to use later on the usb flash drive. Can I use the Bootdisk creator app with winxp as with any linux distro? or do I need another app? dumping the iso file to the drive + adding boot flag would work? | 21:44 |
| augustl | RedNifre: uhm ok =P | 21:45 |
| azeryu | it is an remote system i can't access on it physically darolu | 21:45 |
| RFleming | guntbert, I figured there was a problem with the mounting of the LVM VG and it couldn't access /sbin/init. But I'm now also wondering if it's dying before that, and can't find /sbin/init in the initramfs | 21:45 |
| augustl | what's the apt-get command to remove a package and all it's orphans? | 21:45 |
| azeryu | normaly it is not necessary to reboot a pc on linux isn't it true ? darolu | 21:45 |
| erUSUL | darolu: ask in ##windows | 21:45 |
| shadyabhi | darolu: why do u want to use winXP cd? use ubuntu cd instead | 21:45 |
| c3l | erUSUL: thanks | 21:45 |
| erUSUL | darolu: unetbootin or the usb cvreator wont work with a winXP iso | 21:45 |
| darolu | azeryu: it is necessary when you try to boot using a different kernel | 21:46 |
| guntbert | RFleming: take a look into http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_lvm - its really good to read/play - maybe that helps | 21:46 |
| erik__ | darolu: apparently I have an HDA Intel device. I opened alsamixer in terminal and the only thing muted was the internal microphone. | 21:46 |
| RFleming | guntbert, in all honesty, I don't know where it's dying. The system has been up for 427 days. Today on a reboot, it wouldn't start | 21:46 |
| darolu | erUSUL: ##windows will tell me the windows-solution, but I do not have a Windows machine right now :s | 21:46 |
| azeryu | as i say you it is an remote pc | 21:46 |
| Zahak | Im having a problem with my sound card. I have an hp dv6 1277la and I cant figure out how can I make it work. Can someone help me, please? =P | 21:46 |
| azeryu | any other solution for this case ? | 21:47 |
| darolu | shadyabhi: unfortunatelly ntfsfix couldn't repair the filesystem, so I need chkdsk or reinstall :( | 21:47 |
| Zahak | Detail: Im new in Ubuntu u.u | 21:47 |
| ennui | I'm a bit confused. X is what allows for graphics correct? though gnome is not a window manager like metacity or compiz. what would you call gnome/kde etc? | 21:47 |
| woble | /etc/default/burg: 27: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string <-- not so good right? rebooting will probably kill it not? | 21:47 |
| azeryu | any other solution for this case ? darolu | 21:48 |
| guntbert | RFleming: understood - but to be honest the mechanism of the linux boot process isn't *very* clear for me too :-) | 21:48 |
| darolu | azeryu: the only way to change the kernel you are using is to reboot and select it :( sorry | 21:48 |

| amyleto | if any of yall are networking geniuses, i have a situation i've been trying to resolve for a few weeks now | 22:14 |
| VCoolio | Ulmo: reinstall windows, you will loose grub, so reinstall grub and done | 22:15 |
| PigeonCluster | happyface, html5 acceleration? html5 is not something that can be hardware accelerated. maybe html5 videos, but whether those are hardware accelerated depends on the browser. generally they already are. | 22:15 |
| amyleto | the reason is dumb, i admit, but i'm kinda stuck | 22:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | happyface, you could probably play html5 video with mplayer and thus get hardware acceleration on nvidia cards | 22:15 |
| Ulmo | I have the Gparted live cd but it won't load for some reason. | 22:15 |
| erUSUL | amyleto: dunno; #networking also exist in this server | 22:15 |

| azeryu | so what to do to able to boot with this ' generic kernel' ZykoticK9 | 22:20 |
| PigeonCluster | happyface, i read the first little bit, it mentions hardware acceleration, an i happen to know that microsoft was planning to use GPGPU in ie 9 | 22:20 |
| VCoolio | Ulmo: I'm not the man for this to debug; you don't overlook some 'scan' button? | 22:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | azeryu, i'm unaware of a method of sending switched to grub / for rebooting to different kernels like that -- good luck man | 22:21 |
| happyface | PigeonCluster: yes, firefox 3.7, ie9, and opera have it | 22:21 |
| tanio | thanks | 22:21 |
| tanio | ;) | 22:21 |
| azeryu | ok thanks a lot ZykoticK9 | 22:21 |
| bluefox83 | is there a fix for the automounting usb thumb drive issue in x64 10.04? | 22:22 |

| dreamy_ | i cant find my xorg conf, im on ubuntu 9.04 ..where can i dump .. paste .. my optimal video setttings for my ati card? | 22:22 |
| Samual | Is there a way to change the time zone per user? I live in EST but a server I have is in CST, and I want to make it so my user (And only my user) has EST time | 22:22 |
| dreamy_ | old ati card | 22:22 |
| dreamy_ | can i create a xorg conf ? will the system access to it ? | 22:23 |
| markedwords | erUSUL: sorry for such an obvious question, but google wasn't giving up the goods. "loop" was the key. | 22:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | dreamy_, my steps for generating an xorg http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/create-an-xorg-conf-file | 22:23 |
| erUSUL | markedwords: no problem. we are here to help | 22:23 |
| VCoolio | dreamy_: it should be /etc/X11/xorg.conf, you can create it | 22:23 |
| dreamy_ | ty ZykoticK9 ... | 22:24 |
| dreamy_ | VCoolio, so can i just create it ? | 22:24 |
| VCoolio | yes, but preferable with what Zykotick probably points to to get default entries | 22:24 |
| lacey_ | Hey guys Wubi Ubuntu hung up during grub instalation during new install. restarted, and am having small issues like constant 2 sec. long hang ups how can i fix this anybody?.Pleasehelp | 22:24 |
| dreamy_ | VCoolio, considering that this new ubuntu doesnt brings xorg conf.. is there any new clever way of configuring things then? in this case my old atic ard | 22:25 |
| VCoolio | dreamy_: I know nothing of ati, it seems newer xorg knows automatically more than it used to; also there is a xorg.conf.d folder now to put files in, but I always forget what is for apps and what for user input; just use a xorg.conf file, who cares | 22:26 |

| fensteguy | hey peps | 22:27 |
| fensteguy | can any1 help me sorting a terminal problem ? | 22:27 |
| BrianBR | Hello. Quick question. I'm on a bandwidth cap in New Zealand. If I download the i386 version of Ubuntu, and install it on a 64-bit machine, will Ubuntu automatically update to the 64-bit kernel? The reason I ask is that I want to run it in a virtual machine first, which only supports 32-bit. | 22:27 |
| lifenotfound | cannonfodder: quit should work | 22:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | cannonball, "exit" | 22:27 |
| cannonfodder | thanks | 22:27 |
| VCoolio | fensteguy: ask the real question | 22:28 |
| fensteguy | VCoolio: i want to copy paste with 2 clicks on mouse | 22:28 |
| chipmonk | i tried to add lines to get trackman wheel to work by adding marble man lines to conf file but no change | 22:28 |
| fensteguy | VCoolio: not 4 | 22:28 |
| Ulmo | Here's a question, how do I tell if ubuntu is installed within windows? | 22:28 |
| oCean_ | BrianBR: there's no update from 32 to 64 bit | 22:28 |
| BrianBR | Ocean: Thanks. Guess that means having to download both kernels at work then. | 22:29 |
| fensteguy | VCoolio: like the windows putty | 22:29 |
| VCoolio | fensteguy: well, click-and-drag to select, then middle mouse button to paste; I count 2 | 22:29 |
| lifenotfound | fensteguy, highlighting will auto copy, then either middle mouse or right + left at the same time | 22:29 |
| ChrazRitt | so does anyone know of a cooling management script? | 22:29 |
| fensteguy | VCoolio: ty :)) it works :P | 22:29 |
| fensteguy | cya | 22:30 |
| augustl | installed "Pekwm" (a window manager) and chose it as the session on the login screen. It works, but gnome-panel does not snow up, for example. How can I fix that? | 22:30 |
| === McPeter_ is now known as McPeter | ||
| augustl | for now I just ran gnome-panel to start it by hand | 22:30 |
| augustl | funny sidenote: logging out via the power button doesn't work | 22:30 |
| xcanadianmanx | I have this weird issue in 10.04 where all my keyboard button presses are load bump sounds if i hold down a key i'll get a couple and then the keyboard will start working. It used to work and just started happening. I've disconnected and reconnected the keyboard and have restarted a couple of times. does anyone know whats going on? | 22:31 |
| VCoolio | augustl: put it in startup apps for pekwm, don't know how that works; also I recommend tint2, much lighter; gnome-panel belongs to the gnome-session, so it shouldn't show up on an alternative wm | 22:31 |
| bluefox83 | yay! (i reset my router) | 22:32 |
| augustl | VCoolio: so gnome-session is started by metacity? | 22:32 |
| augustl | shouldn't I just start that in pekwm? | 22:32 |
| VCoolio | augustl: the other way round I guess, metacity is the wm for gnome | 22:32 |
| thune3 | Samual: you need to set environment variable e.g. TZ="/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Chicago" https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables suggests using .pam_environment file according to it's particular syntax http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man5/pam_env.conf.5.html | 22:32 |
| augustl | VCoolio: is it not adviced to change the wm? | 22:32 |
| linu- | how many ppl here use mac | 22:33 |
| Samual | thune3, yeah, thanks but I already figured it out mostly | 22:33 |
| VCoolio | augustl: sure, whatever you like; and if you want gnome-panel, be our guest, it all should work | 22:33 |
| h00k | linu-: please don't take polls here, do you have any support questions? | 22:33 |
| osmodivs | Gnome panel is just too buggy | 22:34 |
| VCoolio | augustl: but the logout feature on gnome-panel supposes you're running a gnome-session, so that won't work indeed | 22:35 |
| h00k | osmodivs: If you're finding bugs, please report them! | 22:35 |
| augustl | VCoolio: is running a gnome-session with a different wm doable? | 22:35 |
| osmodivs | once you delete the volume icon, you have to do a clean reinstall of the gnome-panel..and good luck with that | 22:35 |
| VCoolio | augustl: yes, with compiz or xcompmgr | 22:35 |
| h00k | osmodivs: or you can just do a !panelreset | 22:35 |
| h00k | !panelreset | osmodivs | 22:35 |
| ubottu | osmodivs: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 22:35 |

| bluefox83 | AcidX: bios/cmos is it shows that the drive is there, then it's detected. if not, you might either need a firmware upgrade, or to add a sata 2 card | 22:38 |
| Somelauw | Viking667, thanks | 22:38 |
| bluefox83 | *if it | 22:38 |

| ChrazRitt_ | i have a 3 month old laptop that i just installed ubuntu 10.04 amd 64 desktop version on to dual boot with windows 7. my problem is that when running ubuntu the computer sometimes locks up forcing a power switch reboot. 7 has a cooling management section, and i suspect tthat my lockup issue is due to heat issues because the exaust vent isn't putting out near the heat sa it does in windows. does anyone know of a cooling management scr | 22:38 |
| ChrazRitt_ | ipt? | 22:38 |
| VCoolio | augustl: gnome-session is just the wm (default: metacity) with several daemons like gnome-settings-daemon and some authentication daemon etc, you can auto start those in any wm if you like (most people don't, it's why they shift wm's and de's); just try different wm's and use what you like best | 22:39 |
| actionParsnip | ChrazRitt_: if you restart the X server does it unfreeze or is it super frozen? | 22:39 |
| augustl | VCoolio: I see, thanks | 22:39 |
| ChrazRitt_ | the only thing that responds is the power button | 22:39 |
| actionParsnip | ChrazRitt_: if its a cheap unit (most acers do tyhis) then it will probably have a software monitor for heat rather than a decent hardware monitor to automate the activity | 22:40 |
| AcidX | Anyone know what to do :)? | 22:40 |
| actionParsnip | ChrazRitt_: head into the keyboard section under preferences and re-enable CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE when it locks, press CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE and see if the x server restarts | 22:41 |
| ChrazRitt_ | it is a hp pavilion dv7-dx, not some cheap machinr | 22:41 |
| actionParsnip | ChrazRitt_: depends if they have scrimped on the cooling | 22:41 |
| augustl | are there any app launchers for ubuntu/gnome that are just that - app launchers? And doesn't search the web and index my documents and what not. | 22:42 |
| TodoInTX | does anyone know if you can suppress the buddy join/part messages from "Indicator Applet"? | 22:43 |
| actionParsnip | ChrazRitt_: do you have the latest BIOS? | 22:43 |
| h00k | augustl: like...if you were to drag something from your menu to your desktop? | 22:43 |
| ChrazRitt_ | under windows there is a software cooling control that is set to speed up the fan when the temp goes up, and under ubuntu i don't feel near as much heat from the vent | 22:43 |
| ChrazRitt_ | yes the latest bios | 22:43 |
| augustl | h00k: I would prefer to type it | 22:43 |
| augustl | gnome do without all the stuff that isn't app launching basically ;) | 22:43 |
| augustl | h00k: I have much more stuff installed on my computer than what fits on the desktop anyways | 22:43 |
| h00k | augustl: I don't really know what you're looking for. Starting things from a terminal? | 22:43 |
| h00k | augustl: alt+f2? | 22:44 |
| augustl | yay, alt + f2 looks sensible | 22:44 |
| actionParsnip | ChrazRitt_: can you tab com[plete my nick if you are addressing me, it makes it a LOT easier to read | 22:44 |
| ChrazRitt_ | sorry actionParsnip | 22:44 |
| zimbres | would someone help me configuring a ssh server? I am trying to login from another machine and it doesnt seem to find my machine .... | 22:45 |
| TodoInTX | I have Pidgin setup as a chat client of to facebook, So it gets rather annoying to see every 5 seconds "xyz is online", "xyz is offline" | 22:45 |
| TodoInTX | just curious of https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-applet/+bug/597784 was redundant. | 22:45 |
| Joshua_Roberts | is there a light weight task bar, like tint2, that allows me to select a window by mouse over? | 22:45 |
| ChrazRitt_ | all my responces were to your questions/comments actionParsnip | 22:45 |
| actionParsnip | TodoInTX: use the plugin in the main screen to disable that stuff# | 22:45 |
| actionParsnip | ChrazRitt_: i know, its just hard to read in a sea of text, addressing me highlights the text so is very easy to pick out ;) | 22:46 |
| AcidX | soo is there any chance to get that disk recognized or not :(? | 22:46 |
| ChrazRitt_ | actionParsnip, i realized it when you brought up the name thing | 22:46 |
| TodoInTX | actionParsnip: you mean inside Pidgin, just like : http://launchpadlibrarian.net/50810941/Join_Part-hiding.png | 22:47 |
| TodoInTX | which doesn't work. | 22:47 |
| ChrazRitt_ | isn't a .png a graphics file? | 22:47 |
| bluefox83 | yes | 22:48 |
| azeryu | i got ubuntu 9.10 i Can't find menu.lst | 22:48 |
| azeryu | is that normal ? | 22:48 |
| bluefox83 | it's in /boot/grub | 22:48 |
| azeryu | yes but not on my pc | 22:48 |
| thune3 | azeryu: its grub.cfg | 22:48 |
| azeryu | it is stange | 22:48 |
| TodoInTX | ChrazRitt: right, Portable Network Graphics | 22:48 |
| iceroot | !grub2 | azeryu | 22:48 |
| ubottu | azeryu: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 22:48 |
| azeryu | good | 22:48 |
| actionParsnip | TodoInTX: yeah man | 22:49 |
| ChrazRitt_ | TodoInTX, are you saying that the graphics file is broken then? | 22:49 |
| iceroot | azeryu: its not strange, 9.10 is not using grub legancy, so there is no menu.lst | 22:49 |
| TodoInTX | so my bug report is probably correct. | 22:49 |
| azeryu | ok fine i understand | 22:49 |
| actionParsnip | ChrazRitt_: if you install lm-sensors and watch the temperature when it hangs, see if its heat related. Should show high temp. Also feel the device to see if its hot. I'd also run a memory test from grub (hold shift at boot) | 22:49 |
| TodoInTX | ChrazRitt_: no I'm saying that the setting show in my screen shot isn't disabling join/part messages in the Indicator Applet | 22:50 |
| azeryu | now i want to boot with this option generic kernel | 22:50 |
| ChrazRitt_ | actionParsnip, do you know of a script that includes cooling control, or can contain a cooling control command? | 22:50 |
| azeryu | what i have to change ? | 22:50 |
| C-S-B | Can anyone help me overcome this:Errors were encountered while processing: | 22:50 |

| _pg_ | would anyone know how to use an unsupported tv tuner on ubuntu? I found someone doing it with the same model here http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg18996.html but i dont even know how to start | 22:50 |
| TodoInTX | _pg_: uh, unsupported usually means "can't use it" | 22:51 |
| _pg_ | another question, why does the grub list get longer and longer over time? | 22:51 |
| _pg_ | TodoInTX: i know this but the guy at that link is doing it | 22:51 |
| oCean_ | zimbres: so, you have 2 linux machines, one running an ssh server, and a client? | 22:52 |
| iceroot | _pg_: because grub is showing all installed kernels,so the list is getting bigger after a kernel-update | 22:52 |
| Cpt_Zyph | ok well from what i can tell over the phone i think the video card on my friends PC is having problems.. so he wnats to try replacing it.. its an agp 8x and i'm wondering is there a list out there of popular / known solid agp 8x cards i can refer him to so we know that the video card is very supported on the new ubuntu release? | 22:52 |
| _pg_ | iceroot: isnt that annoying? | 22:52 |
| TodoInTX | _pg_: every time you upgrade the linux-kernel package a new entry is added to the list. It gives you the ability to boot into an older kernel if something goes wrong. | 22:52 |
| _pg_ | \ | 22:52 |
| iceroot | _pg_: why? | 22:52 |
| === MK|BNC is now known as MK-BB | ||
| actionParsnip | ChrazRitt_: no idea dude, i'm sure there are commands, you could use cpufreq to clock the cpu when it gets hot but it sounds like theres a cheap software heat management in there, lm-sensors will highlight this | 22:52 |
| _pg_ | iceroot: its just ugly. can you put them in like a "older kernels" choice or something? | 22:53 |
| zimbres | oCean_, I am trying to login from my university in my home pc, for example ... and it doesnt seem to find my machine | 22:53 |
| ChrazRitt_ | actionParsnip, the vent where the heat normally comes out is much cooler than normal, but i never felt around the rest of the machinr for heat levels | 22:53 |
| azeryu | when i start my pc i got a list of choice that it appear | 22:53 |
| TodoInTX | _pg_: once you're sure the upgrade is working fine, just remove the old kernels entries | 22:53 |
| azeryu | how to see all those choice from the command line ? | 22:53 |
| _pg_ | TodoInTX: ohhh how do I do that? | 22:53 |
| zimbres | would someone scan 189.55.163.211 for open ports please, do not know whether this is a firewall issue or a miss-configured ssh server ... | 22:54 |

| _pg_ | ahhh gotta run. later chaps! | 22:55 |
| ChrazRitt_ | actionParsnip, in 7 there is a cooling management section where it is currently set to speed up the fan before slowing the cpu, and so there is some software control options, therefore i suspect my issue is caused by the fan not being controled | 22:55 |
| zimbres | kill chicken | 22:55 |

| Guest54599 | Dynetrekk, nope | 22:57 |
| Dynetrekk | bluefox83: I suppose the routermodem is one, effectively | 22:57 |

| Dynetrekk | bluefox83: so I'm good then | 22:58 |
| bluefox83 | Dynetrekk: should be | 22:58 |
| azeryu | how to see all those choice from the command line ? | 22:59 |
| Dynetrekk | bluefox83: I set up an ssh server. surprised how many people try to break in! | 22:59 |
| Dynetrekk | azeryu: usually, -h does it | 22:59 |

| ubottu | azeryu: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 23:00 |
| azeryu | what command ? | 23:00 |
| Dynetrekk | bluefox83: but I set up the routermodem to forward outside connections, so it's available from the interwebs | 23:00 |
| oCean_ | zimbres: no answers on ssh port from that ip. nmap says host is down. Guess that might be due to router/firewall | 23:00 |
| actionParsnip | azeryu: run: sudo update-grub and read the bottom few lines, those are the options yu will see in grub | 23:01 |

| zimbres | oCean_, DO you think the ISP is blocking connections to that port? | 23:01 |
| Guest54599 | hi walaky | 23:02 |
| bluefox83 | Dynetrekk: one way to foil people's trying to get in is to change the server port to something else, i use 2020 | 23:02 |
| Dynetrekk | bluefox83: ah, heh, funny thing. well, there's someone who's guessing passwords and user accounts like crazy. I demand key login. though | 23:02 |
| Dynetrekk | bluefox83: ah right, but if someone guesses that.. | 23:02 |
| bluefox83 | Dynetrekk: true, but they would have to check all your ports to find out what's being served from what port | 23:02 |
| oCean_ | zimbres: Don't think so, unless the system is actually situated at the ISP | 23:03 |
| azeryu | this is what i got http://paste.ubuntu.com/455197/ actionParsnip n | 23:03 |
| shishire | Dynetrekk, you can use denyhosts to auto-block people after a number of wrong guesses. | 23:03 |
| bluefox83 | Dynetrekk: it's not a perfect solution, but it slows e'm down a little | 23:03 |
| Dynetrekk | bluefox83: you're right I guess. shishire: but I require key logon, which is much stronger | 23:03 |

| bluefox83 | Guest54599: yes it does | 23:05 |
| Dynetrekk | shishire: clutter logs I guess, but I don't have to read them.. | 23:05 |
| shishire | Guest54599, oh yeah :D | 23:05 |
| actionParsnip | Guest54599: its ok | 23:05 |
| Dynetrekk | shishire: I find it rather odd that someone bothers trying | 23:05 |
| azeryu | ok thanks a lot | 23:06 |
| shishire | Dynetrekk, it's scriptkiddies. They're out there, and they don't know any better. | 23:06 |
| azeryu | ibye | 23:06 |
| azeryu | u | 23:06 |
| Dynetrekk | shishire: they've got nothing better to do then. there's nothing on that pc (yet) | 23:06 |
| oCean_ | zimbres: aha. I get a ping reply, but another item in the network could do that. nmap does not receive responses from given ip. You could install "tcpdump" and see if there is inbound traffic | 23:06 |
| bluefox83 | Dynetrekk: i also run a media server from my server machine, so anyone who found the address/port could easily download any files from my server machien (yes, that means mediatomb is not the most secure server ever...) | 23:06 |
| Dynetrekk | bluefox83: I tried mediatomb, it looks kinda stupid (for those reasons) | 23:07 |
| Dynetrekk | bluefox83: but couldn't you firewall mediatombs ports from outside? | 23:07 |
| TodoInTX | My other problem... I tried to install Ubuntu 10.04 onto a x86_64, it didn't like the video card for some reason (gave a horizontal zebra stripe pattern on the screen), I tried the Alternate installer, but still get that zebra stripe when it boots. | 23:07 |
| bluefox83 | Dynetrekk: it's the only server i could get running for free that i can actually get to work with my ps3 | 23:07 |
| bluefox83 | Dynetrekk: yes i could | 23:07 |
| TodoInTX | the alt. installer works ok, to get the system loaded but doesn't give me a chance to fix the display in a txt only mode | 23:08 |
| Walaky | re | 23:08 |
| bkadoctaj | What do people consider to be the best iPod (non-Touch) sync app? | 23:08 |
| TodoInTX | is there some grub boot option I should give to grub to get it to skip the bootsplash? | 23:09 |
| Dynetrekk | bluefox83: ah no, there's ps3 media server. it's not great, but it's the best, after all | 23:09 |
| Dynetrekk | bluefox83: it converts files and whatnot, it's pretty nice | 23:09 |
| shishire | bkadoctaj, I used to use gtkpod back when I still had an iPod | 23:09 |
| actionParsnip | bkadoctaj: gtkpod i have heard of (I dont use crappy ipods) | 23:09 |
| ChrazRitt_ | trying to figure out all the packages that are needed now actionParsnip | 23:09 |
| actionParsnip | TodoInTX: edit /etc/default/grub and remove quiet splash then run: sudo update-grub | 23:10 |
| Walaky | i need help, I hava Dell studio 1555 notebook. I installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (64bit) i see vga card memory and i see only 128 Mb | 23:10 |
| bkadoctaj | Okay, well, I'd be happy not to use my iPod but I bought it years ago and it still works great. When it breaks, no more Apple. | 23:10 |
| bluefox83 | Dynetrekk: the machine i have the server running on is really old, it's got a 2ghz proc and one gig of ram on it, i don't think it can convert movies very well | 23:10 |
| TodoInTX | actionParsnip: can't get that far, goes zebra stripe during bootsplash. | 23:10 |
| bluefox83 | Dynetrekk: also mediatomb will do that too, if you know how to make it | 23:10 |
| bluefox83 | and i just took my server machine off dmz and forwarded the ssh port :D | 23:10 |
| actionParsnip | TodoInTX: then use a live cd and edit the files on the internal partitions there | 23:11 |
| Dynetrekk | bluefox83: oh well, it streams music and whatever too. it seemed easier - to me - than mediatomb. and my laptop converts video while streaming, and it uses... 20% cpu max | 23:11 |
| bluefox83 | Dynetrekk: mediatomb will also do music and pictures :) | 23:12 |
| Nerran | Walaky: Is your VGA using shared memory? | 23:12 |
| Guest54599 | Walaky, how do you see it | 23:12 |
| Dynetrekk | bluefox83: right. well, the video converseion was the best selling point for me, really. | 23:12 |
| Viking667 | darn. | 23:12 |

| Viking667 | what's a command I can use to write an iso to a USB stick? I think I need to reinstall ubuntu. | 23:13 |
| Nerran | Walaky: Which VGA is installed btw? | 23:13 |
| === ChrazRitt_ is now known as ChrazRitt | ||
| Walaky | i think My video card is not use shared memory | 23:13 |
| actionParsnip | Viking667: use usb-creator or unetbootin | 23:13 |
| Walaky | this card is ati radeon 4570 HD | 23:14 |

| Ricasol | and it did not work | 23:14 |
| Dynetrekk | http://code.google.com/p/ps3mediaserver/ | 23:14 |
| Walaky | i use ati/amd FGLRX grafic driver | 23:16 |
| Guest54599 | Walaky, what is that | 23:16 |
| Ricasol | ?? | 23:16 |
| Walaky | how to see what you my system | 23:18 |
| Viking667 | ah. Thank you. I'd forgotten their names. | 23:18 |
| Ricasol | guys...can someone i tried the Xorg configure command | 23:19 |
| Walaky | i see system/admin/devicedriver | 23:19 |
| c3l | dos anyone know whats wrong with the moc package? opening music takes forever | 23:19 |
| Ricasol | and then it gives me this xorg.conf/home/rXXXX/xorg.conf.new | 23:19 |
| TodoInTX | ugh, wtf happened to /boot/grub/menu.lst | 23:19 |
| TodoInTX | gone | 23:20 |

| rmrfslash | So my Ubuntu doesn't have the touchpad tab in System > Mouse... but the funny thing is (well, I suppose it's funny) is that two finger scrolling works and the touchpad in general works | 23:23 |
| rmrfslash | two finger tap == center click works | 23:23 |
| rmrfslash | so on some level either Ubuntu recognizes it or it's exposed as a regular mouse | 23:23 |

| pcilatency | people have other demands that need to be met | 23:35 |

| Adem | shrek, dl the latest from the site | 23:36 |
| Adem | www.google.com/chrome | 23:36 |
| pcilatency | ubuntu has many distos too | 23:36 |
| ShrekLappy | yes, but i want version 6.x | 23:36 |
| gbillings | has anyone found a solution for my problem http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/miYLSgP2 ? | 23:36 |
| ShrekLappy | and stable is 5.x | 23:36 |
| gbillings | ShrekLappy, try chromium | 23:36 |
| actionParsnip | ennui: they are 2 solutions to the same problem, both have advantages and disadvantages | 23:36 |
| Guest54599 | what distros | 23:37 |
| corporation-h | Does Linux/Ubuntu have an overclocking - benchmark program? | 23:37 |
| pcilatency | like i'd imagine ubuntu and ubuntustudio have many diffrences..so far i prefer studio version | 23:37 |
| ChrazRitt | Adem, many distros are addressing things that the developers think atr important | 23:37 |
| actionParsnip | Shrek: theres the chromium daily build too, nice bleeding edge :) | 23:37 |
| monoxide | sup | 23:37 |
| gbillings | whar is "ubuntustudio"? | 23:37 |
| actionParsnip | ShrekLappy: ^ | 23:37 |
| ennui | actionParsnip: been using docky though it seems a bit limited. I guess I will try globalmenu out. both require compositing from your window manager to work I imagine | 23:37 |
| ShrekLappy | actionParsnip, i saw that, i have my stuff synced does syncing work with chromium too? extensions and such? id love to be bleeding edge | 23:38 |
| monoxide | anyone seen wine-doors is dieing?! no repositories | 23:38 |
| Adem | chazritt I can see where your coming from but dont you think linux would be a much more advance os at this stage if all of those devs worked together? | 23:38 |
| pcilatency | corporation haliburton? | 23:38 |
| gbillings | and can ubuntustudio be installed from the repos? | 23:38 |
| monoxide | think so | 23:38 |
| actionParsnip | ShrekLappy: yeah its the same bag. Theres also this: http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel#TOC-Linux | 23:38 |
| Dynetrekk | is it possible to reduce the cpu frequency in ubuntu? | 23:38 |
| ShrekLappy | damn...still no backspace key | 23:38 |
| actionParsnip | ShrekLappy: the daily build is compiled by a bot | 23:38 |
| monoxide | I remember seeing studio packages in synaptic | 23:39 |
| ShrekLappy | actionParsnip, ill take a look into that thanks :) | 23:39 |
| ShrekLappy | ah, cool | 23:39 |
| Guest54599 | Adem, yeah | 23:39 |
| pcilatency | adem many thiings could break...some would have idea's and methods that would work against the others...but yes a concerted effort is probably already done at various points | 23:39 |
| gbillings | maybe by sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install ubuntustudio-desktop ubuntustudio-audio ubuntustudio-audio-plugins ubuntustudio-graphics ubuntustudio-video linux-rt | 23:39 |
| pcilatency | gbillings give him the web addy that you got that from | 23:40 |
| ChrazRitt | Adem, do you think that people working to make an os for cutting edge hardware want to be slowed down by considerations of making sure the os will still run really old hardware? | 23:40 |
| gbillings | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu%20Studio%20Upgrade%20from%20Ubuntu | 23:40 |
| pcilatency | there are other things after install that need to be done as well | 23:40 |
| oCean_ | Dynetrekk: yes, see manual page for "cpufreq-selector" | 23:40 |

| pcilatency | lol? | 23:41 |
| Dynetrekk | oCean_: you can set the speed from the applet? thought it was only monitoring | 23:41 |
| monoxide | would anyone be able with getting the old Wine-Doors repositories to mirror locally? | 23:41 |
| pcilatency | who says the new hardware is better? its faster but could be made cheaply?? | 23:41 |
| ChrazRitt | adem, nether are people with cutting edge hardware | 23:41 |
| kangu | any support for the GMA500 poulsbo ? | 23:42 |
| oCean_ | Dynetrekk: you can also adjust through applet. Or from commandline using cpufreq-selector | 23:42 |
| Viking667 | Right. I'll be back in about 30 secs | 23:42 |
| Dynetrekk | oCean_: hm, okay... I'll have to look into that then | 23:42 |
| Dynetrekk | oCean_: do I need to install a package? | 23:42 |
| Adem | yes, we pay more, we are suprior | 23:42 |
| pcilatency | ocean i want a gui or applet version | 23:42 |
| ChrazRitt | imho there shoule be room for both | 23:42 |
| gbillings | brb | 23:42 |
| pcilatency | adem thats pretty ignorant | 23:42 |
| oCean_ | Dynetrekk: I thinks it's default | 23:42 |
| Viking667 | sheesh. Dancing around, just to get Ubuntu installed. | 23:43 |
| Adem | its valid arguement | 23:43 |
| plainas | so i want to write this script or small program to tile the two last active windows | 23:43 |

| Adem | How does one go about right clicking the desktop if you have a window open on fluxbox? | 23:43 |
| rikkimaru | you know how you can move around workspaces by hitting ctrl + alt + direction? | 23:43 |
| plainas | for starters, how would i programatically obtain a usable reference to the last two active windows? | 23:43 |
| rikkimaru | Can any of you do ctrl + alt + upleft? | 23:44 |
| slow-motion | n8 | 23:44 |
| ChrazRitt | Adem, i have a pretty new lappy here, it's hard to find distros that are up to date enough to run my sound hardware, but if my old lappy was still working i would want a distro that would run it too | 23:44 |
| plainas | that is not what i want rikkimaru and yes i know all that | 23:44 |

| pcilatency | adem thats what got me into using ubuntu..it worked on very very old machines | 23:44 |
| rikkimaru | plainas, I wasn't trying to answer your question... I'm trying to see if ctrl + alt + upleft works for anyone. It doesn't for me | 23:44 |
| === Ulmo-lord-of-the is now known as Ulmo-lord-of-wat | ||
| === Ulmo-lord-of-wat is now known as Ulmo-lord-waters | ||
| plainas | upleft? | 23:45 |
| Adem | I didn't say the distro had to be more usage hungry, I just said it would be BETTER, so whatever you defined as better. | 23:45 |
| rikkimaru | up and left at the same time | 23:45 |
| rikkimaru | you can move diagonally | 23:45 |
| plainas | works as if it would be only ctrl+left | 23:45 |
| pcilatency | solid? stabil and less sytem latency is somethng i like | 23:45 |
| monoxide | 10.04 usage hungry :( | 23:45 |
| ChrazRitt | Guest54599, i have ati hdmi sounhd hardware, and ubuntu runs it thanks | 23:45 |
| pcilatency | monox that depends on what your running | 23:46 |
| rikkimaru | plainas, do you have enough workspaces for it to be able to move diagonally? | 23:46 |
| pcilatency | the os itself is very light | 23:46 |
| actionParsnip | pcilatency: if you have old systems then i'd use puppy, or xpud | 23:46 |
| plainas | rikkimaru, no i don't | 23:46 |
| actionParsnip | pcilatency: you can make ubuntu lighter by using a light desktop like fluxbox or LXDE | 23:46 |

| AkShams | h | 23:47 |
| pcilatency | hmm monox have you installed drivers for the video card? | 23:47 |
| actionParsnip | monoxide: kill compiz and use openbox and it will be slicker | 23:47 |
| rikkimaru | plainas, but you just said you didn't have a workspace there to move to... | 23:47 |
| gbillings | cant you do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get autoremove ubuntu-desktop ? | 23:47 |
| hellothere | ocean_ thanks | 23:47 |
| plainas | rikkimaru, i set it to 8 workspaces | 23:47 |
| plainas | two rows | 23:47 |
| monoxide | its intel pcilatency I dont know there really are drivers | 23:47 |
| monoxide | actionParsnip, thanks I will give it a try | 23:48 |
| monoxide | :) | 23:48 |
| plainas | rikkimaru, hold ctrl+alt, then you can move around the workspaces with the arrowkeys.. doesn't that work? | 23:48 |
| G-man | anybody know how to install UO razor on lucid lynx, ive already done the sh dotnet20 | 23:48 |
| pcilatency | monox yes..intel i810 workx up to i895 i believe or intel extream gfx / intell 3d accellerater | 23:48 |
| pcilatency | etc | 23:48 |
| rikkimaru | plainas, all the directions do except the upleft diagonal | 23:48 |
| rikkimaru | plainas, i'm beginning to think its a keyboard thing | 23:48 |
| pcilatency | maybe higher up to i945 | 23:49 |
| monoxide | pcilatency, is there a command where I can give/get more info on my video like an ls of the device | 23:49 |
| plainas | mmm | 23:49 |
| pcilatency | its based on what chipsets you have anyway | 23:49 |
| monoxide | the whole system is intel based | 23:49 |
| plainas | upleft per se i dunno... it aparently doesn't move diagonals... but if you press up then left...? | 23:50 |
| monoxide | excluding the 3g modem etc | 23:50 |
| pcilatency | and system latency would suffer if the chipset is not configure optimally | 23:50 |
| actionParsnip | monoxide: as suggested earlier, make sure you have your video drivers installed. the system should be able to run a full gnome / compiz desktop but I am not sure what video chip you are running | 23:50 |
| plainas | so guess those two keys do not work if pressed simultaniously | 23:50 |

| rikkimaru | plainas, but they do for you? | 23:50 |
| gbillings | My current resolution 1280x1024 and ubuntu 10.04 looks very good at that res. But whenever i restart, the loading screen with Ubuntu ..... is very ugly and low-res. How can i make that screen look normal and change it to a 1280x1024 resolution? | 23:50 |
| actionParsnip | monoxide: you can use the output to find guides | 23:51 |
| rikkimaru | plainas, the other diagonals work fine for me | 23:51 |
| pcilatency | Display controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics for example | 23:51 |
| plainas | rikkimaru, point is: i don't know... if press them at the same time, it looks to me that it moves first in one direction then in the other, hence having the effect of moving diagonaly | 23:51 |
| monoxide | 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated | 23:51 |
| plainas | now, does it really matters? | 23:51 |
| rikkimaru | plainas, oh, you should be able to tell from the arrow | 23:51 |
| rikkimaru | plainas, it points in the direction it moved | 23:52 |

| monoxide | :) brb google time | 23:52 |
| plainas | rikkimaru, what do you mean it points? | 23:52 |
| delinquentme | are there any RoR programmers in here? im having issues w .autotest files and getting no help in #rubyonrails ... | 23:52 |

| rikkimaru | hmm | 23:52 |
| gbillings | asctionParsnip: im not using nvidia driver im using ati integraded graphics. | 23:52 |
| plainas | then i move around the lite cell | 23:52 |
| plainas | simple as that | 23:52 |
| rikkimaru | plainas, sounds like it's configured differently | 23:53 |
| rikkimaru | plainas, you use gnome? | 23:53 |
| pcilatency | mono the drivers should be detected if it's enabled in bios..and installed automatically? should be anyway | 23:53 |
| plainas | rikkimaru, gnome, no compiz, mist theme | 23:53 |
