| === MK|BNC is now known as MK-BB | ||
| Compiling | Pirate_Hunter: Whatever works best for you, they all do the same thing | 00:01 |
| CrimsonIdol | belkinsa, so the card works in windows but not in 10.04? | 00:02 |
| CrimsonIdol | you can do something like: dmesg | grep eth to see if there are any problems. | 00:03 |
| belkinsa | CrimsonIdol: Thanks | 00:04 |
| rautamiekka | Augustuen: Easiest way to find out is to ask him the question "What do you run on the Server ?". If it's databases running SQL or websites running anything else than Micro$oft technologies, he's better off with Linux. Well, then there's the issue commanding the system: everything is designed to be capable of running via commands, altho it's possible with graphical programs if he sets up VNC to the system to command like Window$. | 00:04 |
| CrimsonIdol | go back | 00:04 |
| addiakogiannis | Hello from Greece | 00:05 |
| Augustuen | he uses them for gameservers, but he is moving over to CentOS now | 00:05 |
| rautamiekka | Augustuen: And Game Servers are better off on Linux. Source Engine-based ones run more poorly on native Linux binary, but that can be avoided by running the Window$ binary under Wine. | 00:05 |

| Pirate_Hunter | addiakogiannis, hello from UK | 00:05 |
| Augustuen | I haven't had any problems with Ubuntu SRCDS, exept from not being able to download, but that was probably the server | 00:06 |
| Augustuen | meaning where I downloaded it from | 00:06 |
| Pirate_Hunter | addiakogiannis, SRCDS? | 00:06 |
| rautamiekka | Pirate_Hunter: Source Dedicated Server | 00:06 |
| addiakogiannis | SRCDS???? | 00:07 |
| Pirate_Hunter | rautamiekka, thanks | 00:07 |
| Pirate_Hunter | addiakogiannis, so what is the problem | 00:07 |
| rautamiekka | Pirate_Hunter: He wanted to convince someone to switch from Window$ to Linux on Game Servers. | 00:07 |
| addiakogiannis | actually I have one, but right noe just logged in to say hi! | 00:08 |
| addiakogiannis | :) | 00:08 |
| Augustuen | I've been playing around with it, and there has been no problem waht so ever | 00:08 |
| Pirate_Hunter | rautamiekka, wrong person i was asking about addiakogiannis | 00:08 |
| rautamiekka | Pirate_Hunter: Oops. | 00:08 |
| Pirate_Hunter | addiakogiannis, ok don't feel shy ask when ever you want | 00:08 |
| Augustuen | is CentOS built on Ubuntu? | 00:09 |
| addiakogiannis | anyways, goodnight everyone, and thanks for asking pirate! | 00:09 |

| crystaltv | greetings.. | 00:11 |
| crystaltv | well things have improved.. | 00:11 |
| crystaltv | I have been able to get ubuntu up and running in console mode | 00:12 |
| crystaltv | now having issues with X | 00:12 |
| Augustuen | not hard | 00:12 |
| crystaltv | tried running Xorg -configure and it failed | 00:12 |
| Compiling | X -configure | 00:12 |
| crystaltv | ok | 00:12 |
| crystaltv | lets try that thanks Compiling brb | 00:12 |
| ikonia | you shouldn't need to configure X, it should be dynamic | 00:12 |
| Compiling | what do you mean it failed? | 00:12 |
| Compiling | command not found? | 00:12 |
| CrimsonIdol | sometimes X doesn't | 00:13 |
| pondera | does the wubi install support other distros of linux ? | 00:13 |
| Compiling | no | 00:13 |
| pondera | compiling are there other installers that work the some for other distros ? | 00:13 |
| pondera | the same* | 00:14 |
| Compiling | not to my knowledge | 00:14 |
| Compiling | there was a project on sf but it died | 00:14 |
| pondera | poop on a stick | 00:14 |
| Compiling | why | 00:14 |
| CrimsonIdol | uh... | 00:14 |
| Compiling | afraid of wrecking the system? | 00:14 |
| pepper_haze | !language | pondera | 00:14 |
| ubottu | pondera: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 00:14 |
| Augustuen | wubi means Windows Ubuntu Installer | 00:14 |
| crystaltv | Compiling: I ran X -configure, it put out a lot of stuff, like the driver list then at the bottom said: | 00:15 |
| pondera | yes because right now i have a macbook gen 3.1, with osx, ubuntu, and win7 and it seems that every time i try to install backtrack it messes up the grub | 00:15 |
| crystaltv | Number of screens does not match the number of devices | 00:15 |
| crystaltv | configuration failed | 00:15 |
| crystaltv | ddxSigGiveUp: close log | 00:15 |
| CrimsonIdol | what's your system setup like | 00:15 |
| sebsebseb | Augustuen: as far as I know yes. Wubi is ok for trying (when it works) long run proper partitioned install is better :) | 00:15 |
| Augustuen | yeah | 00:15 |
| Augustuen | I've never had an success with Wubi | 00:15 |
| CrimsonIdol | vm is better | 00:16 |
| Augustuen | but I kinda failed, I installed it on a different HDD, and I forgot to boot it XD | 00:16 |
| malvarma | When wubi works, it works slower than a usual installation. | 00:16 |
| pondera | compiling: yes because right now i have a macbook gen 3.1, with osx, ubuntu, and win7 and it seems that every time i try to install backtrack it messes up the grub | 00:16 |
| Augustuen | I'm running ubuntu on VMware, it's better than having to boot into it | 00:16 |
| Compiling | thats because you're reading NTFS | 00:16 |
| Compiling | a virtualized FS inside a file on an NTFS drive | 00:16 |
| sebsebseb | Augustuen: uhmm sure, but really Windows should be in a vm not the other way round :) | 00:16 |
| Compiling | it will always be slow | 00:16 |
| ivangarcia | hi, i'm struggling with a .asx streaming i cannot watch in ubuntu, any help? | 00:16 |
| ivangarcia | http://melpomene.mmedia.upv.es/RETRANS_PR_01.asx | 00:16 |
| sebsebseb | Augustuen: well I assume your doing it inside WIndows | 00:17 |
| Compiling | The project was http://sourceforge.net/projects/wubix/ | 00:17 |
| Augustuen | I play alot of video games, and stuff like that, so I can't really convert intill they make those games for Linux | 00:17 |
| Augustuen | yeah | 00:17 |
| Compiling | but it seems to be dead | 00:17 |
| sebsebseb | Augustuen: you can get a lot of Windows games working well in Wine | 00:17 |
| ikonia | ivangarcia: what is that ? | 00:17 |
| pondera | compiling could you help with why that would happen | 00:17 |
| ivangarcia | ikonia, it's a university video streaming | 00:18 |
| Augustuen | not really, I've had alot of problems with fonts and speed and stuff | 00:18 |
| Compiling | pondera: there should be an option not to install a bootloader | 00:18 |
| sebsebseb | Augustuen: also vm software is slowly getting there for proper 3D Windows games support | 00:18 |
| pondera | humm i see | 00:18 |
| ikonia | ivangarcia: yes, why are you pasting it in a support channel | 00:18 |
| Compiling | pondera: try that then manually add an entry in menu.lst or grub.cfg (whatever you're using) | 00:18 |
| Augustuen | I use apps for these games taht require alot of prower itself | 00:18 |
| sebsebseb | Augustuen: you can also install Windows fonts into Linux distros | 00:18 |
| Compiling | crystaltv: what is your physical setup? | 00:18 |
| sebsebseb | Augustuen: and into Wine | 00:18 |
| pondera | compiling where would those files be located ? | 00:19 |
| Compiling | crystaltv: check how many screen sections there are in xorg.conf and compare to your physical setup, modify accordingly | 00:19 |
| malvarma | ivangarcia Hmm I can't stream the video either. I open it in vlc and it connects then stops. | 00:19 |
| seidos | how can I reinitialize my wireless NIC? When I suspend/hibernate it stops working sometimes. | 00:19 |
| Augustuen | yeah, but like my game loaders require alot from the PC when it's on windows, so running it through Wine just makes it unusable | 00:19 |
| Compiling | pondera: which installation did you install grub with? | 00:19 |
| crystaltv | Compiling: ok brb | 00:19 |
| Compiling | pondera: that one will have the file | 00:19 |
| ivangarcia | malvarma, ikonia, any way to find out which packages codecs i need? | 00:19 |
| Compiling | seidos: does it show up in ifconfig? | 00:19 |
| sebsebseb | Augustuen: ok right, well going a little off topic now, but what do you use the Ubuntu vm for? Of interest | 00:19 |
| Compiling | seidos: if so, with or without an address? | 00:20 |
| Augustuen | playing with Ubuntu | 00:20 |
| ikonia | ivangarcia: contact the people who stream it to find out what format | 00:20 |
| MysteryX | Is there a graphical tool for git? | 00:20 |
| Augustuen | I use it for Server fun | 00:20 |
| Augustuen | setting up local webservers and game servers | 00:20 |
| burn | how do i make wireless networking start without gdm? | 00:20 |
| Augustuen | it's pretty fun | 00:20 |
| Compiling | MysteryX: git-gui ? | 00:20 |
| seidos | Compiling, it will show up in ifconfig, but it won't connect to the network. If I take the wireless down using ifconfig wlan0 down, when I try to bring it back up I get an error | 00:21 |
| sebsebseb | Augustuen: Apache and such? Game server what do you use for that? Game servers for what games? | 00:21 |
| MysteryX | thanks Compiling | 00:21 |
| pondera | compiling, heres what i did. i installed osx leopard, install refit, then windows, and then ubuntu | 00:21 |
| Compiling | np | 00:21 |
| Augustuen | Apache, yes, and SRCDS | 00:21 |
| Compiling | seidos: can you pastebin the error, thanks | 00:21 |
| sebsebseb | Augustuen: ok I don't know what SRCDS is | 00:21 |
| sebsebseb | some game server I guess | 00:21 |
| Augustuen | I also use it to test out stuff for my website and my friends server | 00:21 |
| pondera | compiling, i think grub happend when i put ubuntu on it | 00:21 |
| crystaltv | Compiling: I changed the driver from nouveau to nv and ran X and now it shows B/W blocks and is locked up tight | 00:21 |
| Augustuen | it's for games like Half Life 2 and Counter-Strike Source | 00:21 |
| rautamiekka | sebsebseb: Source Dedicated Server | 00:22 |
| sebsebseb | rautamiekka: Whats that? | 00:22 |
| thune3 | seidos: as a workaround in the past, i have unloaded and reloaded wireless driver to get something of a reset | 00:22 |
| Compiling | pondera: you referenced GRUB earlier. when you get to your GRUB screen, which options do you have? I'm assuming you're only getting grub once you select ubuntu | 00:22 |
| Compiling | not familiar with the Mac boot process, never want to learn it really either | 00:22 |
| rautamiekka | sebsebseb: You asked what SRCDS is | 00:22 |
| Dargon | anyone know how to setup sendmail? | 00:22 |
| sebsebseb | rautamiekka: yes I mean whats a Source Dedicated Server, well I could look up | 00:22 |
| Augustuen | yeah, I always google it | 00:22 |
| pondera | compiling, i get grub when i want to go to windows or ubuntu | 00:22 |
| Compiling | pondera: did you install ubuntu from within windows? | 00:23 |
| pondera | compiling no partition | 00:23 |
| ikonia | Dargon: that's a pretty big topic, what in specific ? | 00:23 |
| ikonia | Dargon: you know postfix/exim are the default mta's in ubuntu ? | 00:23 |
| Compiling | pondera: then you shouldn't get grub when you select windows O_o | 00:23 |
| Dargon | ikonia, i know not much about linux | 00:23 |
| ikonia | Dargon: ok, well ubuntu installex exim or postfix as a default mta, they are much easier to configure | 00:24 |
| Dargon | postifx wasnt installed on the box so i installed sendmail, should i nix it and get postfix? | 00:24 |
| Compiling | Does anyone know a decent server monitoring site with free SMS alerts? no purchasing credits or that stuff. | 00:24 |
| pondera | compiling i does, i think refit syncs the mbr from the mackbook bootloader and grub | 00:24 |
| Compiling | not familiar with refit personally | 00:25 |
| ikonia | Dargon: it's your call, whatever mta your most comfortable with | 00:25 |
| pondera | compiling osx is on there 2 but it doest boot | 00:25 |
| pepper_haze | Does anyone here know anything about the software qemu or aQemu | 00:25 |
| seidos | Compiling, are errors from ifconfig logged somewhere? | 00:25 |
| Compiling | what does BT do to GRUB? | 00:25 |
| Dargon | ikonia, ive never worked with mail servers n shit in linux | 00:25 |
| ikonia | Dargon: tone your language down please | 00:25 |
| Compiling | seidos: you said it shows errors when you bring it up, those are the ones im after. They're probably also in /var/log/messages | 00:25 |
| ikonia | !postfix | Dargon | 00:25 |
| ubottu | Dargon: postfix is the default !MTA and !MDA on Ubuntu. For help, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto - See also !MailServer | 00:25 |
| pondera | compiling after i install it when i load linux or windows grub turns into a commandline terminal | 00:26 |
| ikonia | Dargon: check out that for starters | 00:26 |
| crystaltv | I have the xorg.conf but when I try to boot to normal mode the screen goes all b/w blocks and is locked up.. | 00:26 |
| Compiling | pondera: try reconfiguring GRUB | 00:26 |
| crystaltv | I have nvidia gt220 pcie card.. is that a problem? | 00:27 |
| pondera | compiling lol and that where all my computer guruness ability stops | 00:27 |
| Dargon | ikonia, could i possibly PM you | 00:27 |
| Compiling | at the GRUB prompt do | 00:27 |
| Compiling | find /boot/grub/stage1 | 00:27 |
| ikonia | Dargon: if you must | 00:28 |
| Compiling | then it will give you a hd partition | 00:28 |
| Compiling | use that partition | 00:28 |
| pondera | i tried that and i get something like file not found | 00:28 |
| Compiling | root (hd0) for example | 00:28 |
| Compiling | then | 00:28 |
| Compiling | setup hd(0) | 00:28 |

| choomra | tucemiux: See, that's what I thought. | 00:59 |
| crystaltv | I downloaded the nvidia driver for my card, I think, and it failed to load the kernel module.. | 00:59 |
| tucemiux | choomra, your will then be able to boot up to windows, remember that you still have ubuntu installed whever you installed it, you can get rid of the partition as you like, it wont affect windows, you can also reinstall ubuntu | 01:00 |
| choomra | tucemiux: So I popped the CD in, booted from it, it loaded into RAM, but it refused to accept keyboard input... The keyboard works at BIOS, and is given power (tested by toggling Caps lock light), but I can not select anything. | 01:00 |
| eoke_ | tucemiux: Your mileage may vary but recordmydesktop normally locks up after I hit CTRL+C to stop it running. | 01:00 |

| tucemiux | choomra, ##windows | 01:03 |
| belkinsa | dmesg|grep doesn't work for me, do I have to use it with something else after it? | 01:03 |
| thisisunsane | choorma, you want the windows recovery console | 01:03 |
| choomra | It's XP, and there are plenty of folks in my situation whom follow your instructions and have success. | 01:03 |
| tucemiux | eoke_, so if I hit the red button it will start recording? does it mean that it's recording right now? | 01:03 |
| steven__ | can someone help me plz | 01:03 |
| eoke_ | tucemiux: I've not started it from the gui I tend to just start it by running "recordmydesktop" at a console | 01:04 |
| steven__ | what can i download to make beats with | 01:04 |
| choomra | I think it's a problem with the disk; I torrented it as I didn't have a windows CD.. But it was a highly regarded torrent and i even installed it in a VM beforehand, all working well.. | 01:04 |
| eoke_ | eoke_: That way you can see more about what it's doing issues, file size etc. | 01:04 |
| IdleOne | !piracy > choomra | 01:05 |
| belkinsa | Steven_: Check Ubuntu Forums for that. | 01:05 |
| ubottu | choomra, please see my private message | 01:05 |
| IdleOne | steven__: you can also try asking in #ubuntustudio | 01:05 |
| belkinsa | Is CrimsonIdol there? | 01:05 |
| thisisunsane | choomra, you can download a setup disc directly from microsoft | 01:05 |
| thisisunsane | choomra, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310994 | 01:05 |
| choomra | Oh come now IdleOne, it's not piracy, I'm using it as a restore disk not an install disk. | 01:05 |
| choomra | Thanks, thisissunsane, I'll check that out. | 01:05 |
| eoke_ | belkinsa: You or someone else was talking about firmware locations earlier I think it's /lib/firmware | 01:05 |
| IdleOne | choomra: it is and it is offtopic for this channel and network | 01:06 |
| choomra | Wasn't aware of it. | 01:06 |
| choomra | IdleOne: How was it off topic? It was an important detail in explaining my difficulties, but fine, rules are rules. | 01:06 |
| slidinghorn | choomra: it's off topic because this is a channel for ubuntu support only...not windows | 01:07 |
| IdleOne | choomra: the fact that you are discussing windows to help you !fixmbr is not completely offtopic for this channel. torrenting windows is illegal and makes it offtopic. more help and support in ##windows | 01:08 |
| steven__ | #ubuntustudio | 01:08 |

| crystaltv | I went to the Nvidia site and got a driver for my card but the install failed.. giving errors in the log about gcc version or kernel source mismatch.. any ideas on how to get my card's driver installed? | 01:10 |

| IdleOne | steven__: can you give me a name of a windows application you would use to do what you want? | 01:12 |
| === eoke_ is now known as eoke | ||
| IdleOne | steven__: I'll do a little searching and see if I can find an equivalent | 01:13 |
| crystaltv | eoke: no X windows right now only cli | 01:13 |
| steven__ | IdleOne: something to make beats with | 01:14 |
| steven__ | no linux | 01:14 |
| steven__ | *on | 01:14 |
| coz_ | steven__, you wans to make "beas" as in music? | 01:14 |
| eoke | crystaltv: I think what you're using is gtk-recordmydesktop as opposed to recordmydesktop but I may be wrong. | 01:14 |
| belkinsa | You can use Wine and Windows program. | 01:14 |
| coz_ | steven__, rather "beats" | 01:14 |
| steven__ | coz_: yes rap beats | 01:14 |
| crystaltv | eoke: nope wrong C name lol | 01:14 |
| ridin | how can i rename my computer | 01:14 |

| coz_ | steven__, let me see if fruity loops works on linux | 01:15 |
| jarHeadless | hey my mp4 file wont play* in vlc what gives? | 01:15 |
| IdleOne | steven__: sudo apt-get install lmms | 01:15 |
| coz_ | steven__, LMMS should replace fruity loops on linux | 01:16 |
| belkinsa | Jar: Do you have the recristed extras on yoru Ubuntu installed | 01:16 |
| coz_ | steven__, http://lmms.sourceforge.net/ | 01:16 |
| jarHeadless | belkinsa: what? | 01:16 |
| IdleOne | coz_: that will require he compiles it...better to offer the repo version | 01:17 |
| IdleOne | in this case | 01:17 |
| coz_ | IdleOne, I think there is one in the repository | 01:17 |
| lilucax | por favor alguem pode me mandar o link ubuntu br | 01:17 |

| ElectricBill | Suggestions for install, anybody? | 01:18 |
| coz_ | steven__, sudo apt-get install lmms | 01:18 |
| coz_ | steven__, there is also Hydrogen a drum machine application | 01:18 |
| jarHeadless | eoke: thanks | 01:19 |
| coz_ | steven__, actualy Hydrogen may be more to your liking | 01:19 |
| IdleOne | steven__: if you prefer a GUI way. System > Adminstration > Synaptic Package Manager, search for lmms and then install it by checking the box to the left of it and click apply | 01:19 |
| steven__ | Eoke: google that Hydrogen | 01:20 |
| coz_ | steven__, if you install hydrogen also install hydrogen-drumkits | 01:21 |
| IdleOne | steven__: Hydrogen can also be installed with Synaptic | 01:21 |

| eoke | itai: Google kino and avidemux I believe both are viable options. | 01:23 |
| itai | eoke, thanks, will do | 01:23 |
| IdleOne | 01:24 | |
| 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. | 01:24 |
| IdleOne | avidemux is in the repos no need to google | 01:24 |
| IdleOne | so is kino | 01:24 |
| LJRuff | Google-fu has to be practiced and honed. It's not something people are just born with, eoke | 01:24 |
| itai | IdleOne, it's cool, i just needed a name | 01:24 |
| daskrEEch | Hello | 01:24 |
| daskrEEch | I'm having an issue with Gconf | 01:24 |
| Bishop_ | what do i type in cli to update all? (rhel=yum update) | 01:24 |
| LJRuff | !ask | daskrEEch | 01:25 |
| ubottu | daskrEEch: 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. :-) | 01:25 |
| daskrEEch | LJRuff: I'm typing give me a moment | 01:25 |
| IdleOne | Bishop_: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 01:25 |
| LJRuff | Bishop_, apt-get update && apt-get upgrade | 01:25 |
| Bishop_ | ok thanks | 01:25 |
| daskrEEch | LJRuff: I've done an apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and now Gnome wont start | 01:25 |
| daskrEEch | it says the Gnome power manager settings could not be configured | 01:25 |
| BiggFREE | Hi | 01:25 |
| eoke | I suggested he google it to see what if they have the desired features. I'm sure most people would rather have a google answer than no answer at all. | 01:25 |
| LJRuff | daskrEEch, Don't direct comments/questions to me! =P Address the entire room so we can all help you. | 01:26 |
| daskrEEch | Then evolutiona-alarm hrows and error saying it could not reach GConf for the possible rreason that my TCP/IP settings are not ther or I have a stale NFS lock | 01:26 |
| LJRuff | !hi BiggFREE | 01:26 |
| daskrEEch | LJRuff: I haven't asked you anything :) | 01:26 |
| LJRuff | daskrEEch, You're on another machine? | 01:26 |
| daskrEEch | LJRuff: No same machine | 01:26 |
| daskrEEch | no GNome != no machine | 01:27 |
| LJRuff | Via...? CLI? KDE? | 01:27 |
| daskrEEch | Though I would like someone to teach me how to Connect to the wireless via Command line | 01:27 |
| daskrEEch | I thought I had it but I can't get an IP | 01:27 |
| slidinghorn | !enter | 01:27 |
| ubottu | Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 01:27 |
| daskrEEch | CLI | 01:27 |
| LJRuff | Thank you slidinghorn | 01:27 |
| LJRuff | daskrEEch, please remember Enter != Spacebar | 01:28 |
| LJRuff | =D | 01:28 |
| daskrEEch | Sure | 01:28 |
| LJRuff | daskrEEch, to connect to wireless via cli is fairly simple provided you have the firmware required and you are prepared for any security issues, such as WPA and needed supplicants. =) | 01:28 |
| BiggFREE | LJRuff: I am learning :) | 01:29 |
| daskrEEch | So I have Gnome not initalizing properly after an update. I get a Desktop Wallpaper and two error messages. If I drop to the command line and try to start something and put it to the X Display Iget a repeated message that Gconf cant be contacted (Or dbus) and to check my TCP/IP settings. What should I be looking for? | 01:29 |
| daskrEEch | LJRuff: School me :) | 01:29 |
| slidinghorn | daskrEEch, what are the error messages? (if they'll take more than one line, you can use http://paste.ubuntu.com) | 01:30 |
| daskrEEch | slidinghorn: how can I pipe them from the GUI to pastebin? | 01:30 |
| LJRuff | daskrEEch, command | pastebinit | 01:30 |
| csmith1994 | ihb | 01:31 |
| csmith1994 | hi* | 01:31 |
| LJRuff | If you don't have pastebinit I think it's apt-get install pastebinit - though you can just search apt-cache search pastebin | 01:31 |
| LJRuff | !hi | csmith1994 | 01:31 |
| ubottu | csmith1994: 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! | 01:31 |
| csmith1994 | need help on a netbook reverting back to windows | 01:31 |
| Bishop_ | if i choosen (at install time) to only auto-update critical updates, does apt-get commands (update/upgrade) override that setting? (i want to update/upgrade everything, not only security updates) | 01:31 |
| IdleOne | csmith1994: pop in the cd and install ##windows for more help | 01:31 |
| IdleOne | errr wait | 01:32 |
| slidinghorn | csmith1994, you're trying to remove ubuntu & just keep windows from a dual boot? try the ##windows channel | 01:32 |
| IdleOne | netwbook = no cd | 01:32 |
| csmith1994 | no im not trying from a dual boot | 01:32 |
| LJRuff | Bishop_, good question. To be honest, I do not know - but I suspect it should. =) | 01:32 |
| daskrEEch | LJRuff: It's the Iwconfig command to connect to the wireless right? | 01:32 |
| csmith1994 | i wiped out windows, and now i need it back (moms not a big fan of ubuntu | 01:32 |
| itai | csmith1994, can you take the hard drive out ? | 01:32 |
| csmith1994 | no i cant | 01:32 |
| IdleOne | csmith1994: ##windows | 01:33 |
| IdleOne | they should be able to guide you | 01:33 |
| LJRuff | daskrEEch, it depends on what step you're on. You'll need to ifconfig wlan0 up to bring your card online as long as you have firmware, then iwconfig wlan0 essid "network" | 01:33 |
| LJRuff | daskrEEch, do you have wep? wpa? no security? | 01:33 |
| Bishop_ | LJRuff, i'll try soon, and report back. | 01:33 |
| hiexpo | evening all | 01:33 |
| daskrEEch | LJRuff: No security | 01:33 |
| itai | IdleOne, i belive there is a LAN option just like in Linux | 01:33 |
| IdleOne | itai: I wouldn't know. don't do windows | 01:34 |
| LJRuff | daskrEEch, then once you iwconfig wlan0 essid "network name here" run dhcpcd wlan0 | 01:34 |
| itai | IdleOne, sorry meant csmith1994 | 01:34 |
| daskrEEch | LJRuff: run dhcpcd wlan0 is all on the same line with the iwconfig ? | 01:35 |
| IdleOne | itai: it is still offtopic for this channel. should move to ##windows if you can help him with it | 01:35 |
| LJRuff | daskrEEch, no sir. =) | 01:35 |
| daskrEEch | slidinghorn: how can I 2>| pastebinit ? | 01:35 |
| chull | i'm on my husband's computer, (Ubuntu 10.04) he downloaded the ubuntu 10.04 iso for our new box, how can he check it?~$ md5sum ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso | 01:35 |
| chull | md5sum: ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso: No such file or directory | 01:35 |
| chull | 01:35 | |
| LJRuff | !md5sum | chull | 01:36 |
| ubottu | chull: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 01:36 |
| red2kic | chull: "md5sum ubuntu<tab><tab>" Don't type the filename manually. | 01:36 |
| daskrEEch | LJRuff: do I have to install dhcpcd first? | 01:36 |
| red2kic | !tab | chull | 01:36 |
| ubottu | chull: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 01:36 |
| LJRuff | daskrEEch, if you don't have it, it'd help =D | 01:36 |
| chull | ty LJRuff & red2kic | 01:36 |
| daskrEEch | LJRuff: But then I'd need to connect to the wireless to get it :-P | 01:37 |
| slidinghorn | daskrEEch, first, you may have to install pastebinit (sudo apt-get install pastebinit) then you just run (command | pastebinit) if it's an actual error dialog box, then you can just type into the paste.ubuntu.com | 01:37 |
| LJRuff | chull, always a pleasure | 01:37 |
| Bishop_ | LJRuff, as you (and I!) thought, the apt-get commands does update/upgrade everything no matter what auto-update settings have been choosen. | 01:37 |
| daskrEEch | slidinghorn: Umm let me see if I can get epiphany started | 01:37 |
| LJRuff | daskrEEch, can you connect to a wired network temorarily to get it? I am not sure how to proceed without it. | 01:37 |
| avi_ | Hey, I've got a fresh Banshee install (Lucid) and the menu bar icon seems to have replaced transparency with a white background. None of my other indicator icons have this problem. | 01:37 |

| guest2 | how come all the ppa's in sources.list are for karmic? | 01:39 |
| gmonnie | im running 10.04, and i was wondering, is there anyway i can password encrypt file folders on my drive | 01:40 |
| daskrEEch | guest2: are you on karmic? | 01:40 |
| csmith1994 | how can i make a windows liveusb from linux | 01:40 |
| guest2 | weird, i did a fresh 64-bit install of lucid | 01:40 |
| littlebear | gmonnie: gpg | 01:40 |
| LJRuff | daskrEEch, my assessment as well - doesn't change the fact that I do not know how to connect via cli w/o dhcpcd. =) | 01:40 |
| gmonnie | littlebear: gpg? what is that? | 01:41 |
| daskrEEch | LJRuff: So dhcpcd is what makes it easy? :) | 01:41 |
| guest2 | first line of /etc/apt/sources.list is "deb cdrom:[Ubuntu-Server 8.04.1 _Hardy Heron_ - Release amd64 (20080701)]/ hardy main restricted" | 01:41 |
| SailorReality | does installing and uninstalling Operating systems like 10 times make the harddrive die? | 01:41 |
| LJRuff | daskrEEch, for me! =D | 01:41 |
| hiexpo | to get md5sum place iso in home folder > right click on iso image > click properties > at the top copy name of file > open terminal type md5sum paste | 01:41 |
| SailorReality | or mess up the computer, i also have to pull the plug in the back each time | 01:41 |
| daskrEEch | SailorReality: Yes | 01:41 |
| SailorReality | shit | 01:41 |
| littlebear | gmonnie: encryption | 01:41 |
| daskrEEch | Any activity to the hard drive makes the hard drive die | 01:42 |
| SailorReality | do you think this is serious tho | 01:42 |
| ghaspias | Hello | 01:42 |
| gmonnie | littlebear: how do i get gpg? | 01:42 |
| daskrEEch | hard drives magnetism wears out over time | 01:42 |
| eoke | gmonnie: TrueCrypt may be an option for you http://www.truecrypt.org/ | 01:42 |
| littlebear | SailorReality: no unless you unplug during the copy or move | 01:42 |
| SailorReality | ok | 01:42 |
| bastidrazor | avi_: i don't know of any way to get rid of the white background unless you switch which icon it displays by going to Edit > Preferences > Extensions and check Application Indicator for Banshee and uncheck Notification Area Icon | 01:42 |
| littlebear | gmonnie: goto terminal and type the following : sudo apt-get install gpg | 01:42 |
| guest2 | can somebody point me to a lucid sources.list (64-bit if it matters)? | 01:42 |
| daskrEEch | SailorReality: Does it harm it any more than normal activity? No not really | 01:42 |
| daskrEEch | slidinghorn: any insights? | 01:42 |
| bastidrazor | avi_: this also changes how the icon responds to clicks. it is completely different, as you will see | 01:43 |
| littlebear | SailorReality: I did crash a harddisk during IO ( input and output) so as long as it isn't doing that then you should be fine | 01:43 |
| Name141 | Does the ATi driver for the 4670 come with 3D support? | 01:43 |
| littlebear | SailorReality: Although if the HDD is used for a very long time there will be fault | 01:43 |
| === scott_ is now known as Guest98236 | ||
| SailorReality | how about unplugging the computer | 01:44 |
| gmonnie | littlebear: i did that, and it said it couldnt find package | 01:44 |
| SailorReality | without properly restarting it | 01:44 |
| daskrEEch | Name141: depends on which driver | 01:44 |
| SailorReality | i mean from the back | 01:44 |
| Name141 | daskrEEch: I am assuming the one that comes with Ubuntu. | 01:44 |
| red2kic | daskrEEch: I have installed OS many times. I believe. You can use System --> Admin --> Disk Utility and run SMART report on your HDD. | 01:44 |
| Name141 | daskrEEch: From the repos | 01:44 |
| avi_ | bastidrazor: I'm pretty sure it's not an issue with Banshee, rather an issue with Gnome not working with Banshee correctly. I've found some others in the tubes with the same issue, so I'm just following up with them. | 01:44 |
| daskrEEch | red2kic: assuming you have smartmontools installed | 01:44 |
| daskrEEch | Name141: There are two in the repos | 01:45 |
| littlebear | gmonnie: sudo apt-update | 01:45 |
| Name141 | daskrEEch: Does either of them support 3D? | 01:45 |
| red2kic | daskrEEch: It is not installed. It's CLI package. Whatever works for you. :) | 01:45 |
| daskrEEch | Name141: Both support 3D only one with the 4670 | 01:45 |
| Name141 | daskrEEch: OK. Should I even bother trying steam and games ? | 01:46 |
| Name141 | daskrEEch: under wine | 01:46 |
| hiexpo | sudo apt-get update | 01:46 |
| daskrEEch | Name141: Pop into #winehq and ask them | 01:46 |
| gmonnie | littlebear: did that came up with command not found | 01:46 |
| linxeh | Name141: with a name like that, would you want to ? | 01:46 |
| daskrEEch | LJRuff: after you type sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "Name" does iwconfig tell you that you have an AP associated? | 01:47 |
| littlebear | gmonnie: sorry, it's actually sudo apt-get update | 01:47 |
| Name141 | linxeh: ? | 01:47 |
| linxeh | Name141: "steaming pile of..." | 01:47 |
| eoke | littlebear: Isn't it called gnupg that package? | 01:47 |
| Name141 | linxeh: mkayyy | 01:47 |
| SteveThing | Anyone familiar with PS3MediaServer? | 01:47 |
| LJRuff | daskrEEch, No | 01:47 |
| Name141 | daskrEEch: Any idea on what "DirectX" it'd support? 9? 10.1? 11? | 01:47 |
| daskrEEch | SteveThing: #ps3linux | 01:48 |
| SteveThing | thanx | 01:48 |
| daskrEEch | Name141: 11 | 01:48 |
| gmonnie | littlebear: ok what was the gpg install command again? | 01:48 |
| Name141 | daskrEEch: I see. My card only support 10.1 though | 01:48 |

| littlebear | hiexpo: yup, it's used for e-mail encryption, but I use it for file encryption | 01:51 |
| gmonnie | ok now that i have it installed how do i use it | 01:52 |
| littlebear | gmonnie: when you need to encrypt, just do gpg -c *filename* | 01:52 |

| calum | kitche:I want to run an ftp server over the internet for my laptop but I was wondering what should I use, ftps or ssh ftp? Is there sftp server software for ubuntu? | 01:53 |
| littlebear | gmonnie: for graphical user interface use synaptic | 01:53 |
| littlebear | calum: sshd is a good idea | 01:53 |
| kitche | calum sftp is part of ssh | 01:53 |
| hiexpo | gmonnie, sudo apt-get install gnupg | 01:53 |
| littlebear | calum: I have sshd set up on my server so you can use ssh to access and sftp to grab files | 01:54 |
| calum | Oh yeah, sorry I am getting confused, ssh ftp or ftps? | 01:54 |
| littlebear | calum: sftp = ssh ftp | 01:54 |
| gmonnie | i already installed it, just trying to access it | 01:54 |
| eoke | daskrEEch: You might have some luck renaming ~/.gconfd ~/.gnome ~/.gnome2 but you'll loose your customisations. If it doesn't work you can always rename them back. | 01:54 |
| littlebear | calum: I've never heard of ftps though | 01:54 |
| calum | ftps is just ftp over tls/ssl | 01:55 |
| littlebear | gmonnie: gpg -c *filename* and type password to encrypt and gpg *filename* to decrypt | 01:55 |
| daskrEEch | eoke: lets try it with gconf.d first | 01:55 |
| gmonnie | ok | 01:55 |
| WarlockLord | is there a trick to making my intel 5100agn run at N speeds? | 01:55 |
| kitche | calum it's still ftp | 01:56 |
| eoke | daskrEEch: Probably just a typo but you're looking for ~/.gconfd no period (dot) | 01:56 |
| calum | with sshd, do I need to forward anything other than port 22? | 01:56 |
| daskrEEch | eoke: Force of habit from init.d etc | 01:56 |
| littlebear | calum: I don't think so | 01:56 |
| calum | and sshd will allow me to transfer files to my laptop? | 01:56 |
| jarHeadless | WarlockLord: does it not do N anyhow? | 01:57 |
| littlebear | calum: sshd is a server, ssh is a client, you can use filezilla (software free) to access and transfer files | 01:57 |
| daskrEEch | eoke: moving gconfd worked | 01:57 |
| daskrEEch | thanks | 01:57 |
| calum | oh right, so I can log in using ssh, then access files I want with filezilla? | 01:58 |
| eoke | daskrEEch: No worries daskrEEch sorry you had to loose some of your customisations. | 01:58 |
| littlebear | calum: yes, but you can access and transfer directly through ssh | 01:58 |

| sansart13 | well i'm pretty sure rhythmbox is the default player for mp3s if thats what you ment littlebear | 02:02 |

| calum | only other thing is, when I'm somewhere else on the internet, what IP would I use for NAT? The router's IP? | 02:02 |

| jarHeadless | calum: as your gateway? | 02:03 |
| calum | my router is assigned a dynamic IP every so often | 02:03 |
| eoke | calum: You'll also need to port forward a port on your router to port 22 on your linux server. | 02:04 |
| TheMusicGuy | What is the location of the config files for the main Gnome menu in Ubuntu 10.04? | 02:04 |

| red2kic | DeaD_SouL: What is wrong with Dropbox? You *plop* in ~/Dropbox and it'll be uploaded right away. Right-click on the file and copy Public URL. | 02:11 |
| alket | How can I find link ty my DropBox public folder ? | 02:11 |
| DasEi | jarHeadless: default port for ftp is 21, 22 for ssh | 02:11 |

| red2kic | alket: /home/alket/Dropbox/ | 02:12 |
| DeaD_SouL | its just for one use then i don't need it | 02:12 |

| littlebear | DeaD_SouL: i'm sure there tons of file sharing website online | 02:12 |
| hiexpo | everyone wants to use these fancy smancy guis's audaciousworks just fine formusic | 02:12 |
| jarHeadless | DasEi: 22 for ssh sure ok | 02:12 |
| red2kic | DeaD_SouL: I understand. Gnome-Do have a plugin that'll allow you upload images no more than 1.5MB -- That's what I know so far. | 02:12 |
| DeaD_SouL | besides, drug & drop the file, without any modification to original one, is much better | 02:13 |
| verbrecher | I wonder why the Variable that should reside in rodata is in a segment with r-xp instead of in one with r--p which exists also accordigung to proc_maps. You can test it with this program: http://pastie.org/private/t3t7dczdhqhfmtm764e7yq | 02:13 |
| DasEi | jarHeadless: but you can always change it to where you like | 02:13 |
| littlebear | alket: personally I would just upload to a http server and give out http address | 02:13 |
| verbrecher | I have compiled it with optimization disabled | 02:13 |
| alket | littlebear: I would to, but i dont have one | 02:13 |
| red2kic | DeaD_SouL: Or you can install noip2 (and port forwarding). That way, you plop a file in /var/www and link your friends to http://deadsoul.no-ip.org/<fileName> | 02:13 |

| littlebear | alket: feel free to use http://www.littlebearz.com/school/upload/ | 02:14 |
| bastidrazor | zimbres: you have to be listening on a port in order for you to get a response | 02:15 |
| NigelS | zimbres, most likely you're behind a NAT router and the port you're trying to connect to isn't being forwarded | 02:15 |
| terry | Lost password.... | 02:15 |
| terry | Help.... | 02:15 |
| zimbres | kitche, That means they check every single tcp header?? bastidrazor | 02:15 |
| TheMusicGuy | I cannot figure out how to reset my Gnome menu to defaults. I've tried deleteing ~/.config/menus and that had no effect. | 02:15 |
| eoke | DeaD_SouL: Sorry I've seen your question halfway through have you considered ubuntu one I believe you can make files public on that too. | 02:15 |
| bastidrazor | zimbres: that means you need a service listening on a port before you can connect to it | 02:15 |
| jarHeadless | calum: ftp port 20 for connection and port 21 for data (my mistake) | 02:15 |
| hiexpo | terry, lost password | 02:15 |
| TheMusicGuy | I also tried the "Revert" button in the menu config dialog. | 02:15 |

| TheMusicGuy | A lot of icons are missing from my menu (Gimp, Firefox, and others) even though they are installed, and I never manually removed the icons. | 02:16 |
| eoke | TheMusicGuy: Is System > Preferences > Main Menu > Revert not working for you? | 02:17 |
| NigelS | zimbres, if the situation is Internet --> NAT Router --> you server, then nothing will reach your server unless your router knows where to pass it. Have you verified that that's not the problem? | 02:17 |
| zimbres | NigelS, bastidrazor , I am listening on 7890 on a public IP. The issue is that I do not get connection to the server i am running. Only if I try from a pc in the LAN | 02:17 |
| hiexpo | TheMusicGuy, why they gone did u upgrade or something? | 02:17 |
| TheMusicGuy | eoke, it is not. | 02:17 |
| DeaD_SouL | eoke, its ok :) btw, dropbox and ubuntu one, are just perfect,.. but i want to share it using the free hosting sites, like imageshack for images, eee for txt, like dnd2share, i really liked the idea, and wishing i can find one just like it | 02:17 |
| bastidrazor | zimbres: have your portforwarded that port on the router? | 02:17 |

| hiexpo | TheMusicGuy, I asked a ? did u upgrade ? | 02:18 |
| === ganove is now known as oberverbrecher | ||
| NigelS | zimbres, no, if you can connect on the LAN then it's not using the router to route...it's just switching to the relevant connection | 02:19 |
| bastidrazor | zimbres: being able to connect inside the LAN has nothing to do with the router, correct. BUT in order to connect from outside the LAN the router needs to know where to sends packets from outside to an IP on the inside. | 02:19 |
| TheMusicGuy | hiexpo, I did a fresh install, but kept my existing /home partition. | 02:19 |
| NigelS | zimbres, there's a difference between Internet (public address space) -> router -> your private LAN with class C address | 02:19 |

| zimbres | NigelS, bastidrazor , You mean that the trouble may be on my routing table configuration? | 02:21 |
| TheMusicGuy | hiexpo, In other words, I installed over the home partition. that was a while back, though. For some reason, certain icons don't appear in the menus after their associated packages get installed. (Or certain icons don't get removed when they are uninstalled) | 02:21 |
| oberverbrecher | eoke, So how often do you see spam here? I think it is for a simple reason: Everyone is like a Photoshop beginner, all filters available must be applied at least once, and hence they also apply almost all channel modes. | 02:21 |
| bastidrazor | zimbres: yes, if the router does not have the ports opened then it will drop the packets. | 02:21 |
| TiK_ | im having troubles making a bootable UBS drive with startup creator it works (fat32) wth boot flags butupon resetting the computert does not boot. I at aloss | 02:21 |
| NigelS | zimbres, yes; if you haven't told your router to forward traffic to port 80 to the correct LAN IP then it won't know where to send it | 02:21 |
| Docteh | TiK_: it only boots once? | 02:22 |
| hiexpo | TheMusicGuy, so you was thinking by doing a fresh install on the same partion would keep everything previously installed? | 02:22 |
| TiK_ | yes only boots once | 02:22 |

| TiK_ | doc: I frmatd into fat32 and ran th startup creator on a clean drive | 02:25 |
| zimbres | NigelS, Thats what I conclude ... | 02:25 |
| TiK_ | Doc: I dont have an OS insall I am booting off a livecd | 02:25 |
| NigelS | zimbres, you're not being very clear - earlier you mentioned being able to connect from within a LAN but now you imply you don't have one? | 02:26 |
| TiK_ | it needs to boot off UBS to insall because i get sr0 errors | 02:26 |
| najunaju | Hi, how do I know if my wifi usb adaptor is supported? How do I know the chipset it has? any command? | 02:26 |
| XBMC|User | Hello, Everyone | 02:26 |
| Docteh | sr0 is the optical or? | 02:26 |
| TiK_ | yes | 02:26 |
| TiK_ | sda1 is the hard drive | 02:26 |
| alaska13 | I am having problems with network manager showing as disconnected | 02:27 |
| bastidrazor | Docteh: that normally is your CD or DVD drive | 02:27 |
| TiK_ | do: i cant install from a cd so I need to boot with this USB drive like I did last time | 02:27 |
| oberverbrecher | When you get what sd and sr means, you can remember it more easily, maybe | 02:27 |
| alaska13 | even when the network connection is up | 02:27 |
| TiK_ | but it only booted once and now it's not boting | 02:27 |
| zimbres | NigelS, I have tested the server on the University i study. Now I am at home, sorry for not being clear .. | 02:27 |
| pondera | ok i have a question. i have a macbook 3.1, currently the setup is partition 1 EFI, p2 mac osx, p3 win 7, p4 linux swap, p5 ubuntu. i want to install another distro of linux backtrack but when i install it it messes up grub and i cant boot win7 ubuntu or backtrack so i started over. i want to install backtrack without the grub option and manually add it to my current grub list. how would i go about doing that ? | 02:27 |
| TheMusicGuy | I tried moving ~/.local/share/applications to a different location and then signing out and back in. | 02:27 |
| TheMusicGuy | that seems like it helped. | 02:27 |
| TheMusicGuy | I have my Gimp and Firefox icons back | 02:28 |
| hiexpo | najunaju, well if you do some research on your wifi card model # and version you can find your chip set | 02:28 |
| TiK_ | ive never instaled backtrack cant help you | 02:28 |
| hiexpo | !backtrack | 02:28 |
| ubottu | 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) | 02:28 |
| NigelS | zimbres, ah, so you don't control the network you're trying to connect to? Then it's quite possible that they are blocking certain ports or port ranges yeah :S but that's quite normal really | 02:28 |
| TiK_ | Doc: abot the boting once.. what infomation doyou have on that | 02:28 |
| najunaju | it seems too new hiexpo, I cant find any info about it | 02:28 |
| Docteh | TiK_: maybe the issue thats giving you sr0 errors is effecting the usb :-/ I'd run memtest on that computer | 02:28 |
| sad | Hi | 02:28 |
| Mnmxse | Hi | 02:29 |
| sad | I need help installing a functional flash player | 02:29 |
| pondera | tik_ the real issue is just how do i add a OS to the bootloader ubuntu installed | 02:29 |
| LJRuff | !hi | sad mnmxse | 02:29 |
| najunaju | is there any command to know wich chipset a wifi usb has inside? hiexpo | 02:29 |
| ubottu | sad mnmxse: 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! | 02:29 |
| hiexpo | najunaju, what is the wifi card model and version number? | 02:29 |
| Docteh | TiK_: windows 7 screws with marking of partitions is all I got on that. maybe use different file system on the usb like ext2 or 4? | 02:29 |
| zimbres | NigelS, Yes, I do not control it. They are blocking me on every single port. | 02:29 |
| TiK_ | Doc: it wa ext4 | 02:29 |
| TiK_ | was | 02:30 |
| TiK_ | it still doesnt boot | 02:30 |
| hiexpo | najunaju, no | 02:30 |
| zimbres | NigelS, For for incoming traffic. | 02:30 |
| TiK_ | system creator makes it fat32 i think | 02:30 |
| DasEi | pondera: two ways : either stop bt install at grub, or put the bt repos in the coreesponding ubuntu-distro, no BT-support here | 02:30 |
| DasEi | pondera: have a look at unetbootin | 02:30 |
| TiK_ | il format to ext4 and try again | 02:31 |
| alaska13 | I am having a hard time with network manager...can anyone help? | 02:31 |
| hiexpo | #backtrack-linux | 02:31 |
| pondera | dasei i tried installing that in ubuntu but it coulding unpack the .bin file | 02:31 |
| Docteh | TiK_: I've got zero experience with system creator, :-/ | 02:31 |
| hiexpo | installingbacktrack repos will create a train wreck | 02:31 |
| Mnmxse | Nighty night e1 | 02:31 |

| DasEi | pondera: let's met in #backtrack-linux ? | 02:32 |
| pondera | ok | 02:32 |
| hiexpo | najunaju, what brand is that ? | 02:32 |
| najunaju | it identifies just by Bus 002 Device 002: ID 1b75:2770 with lsusb | 02:33 |
| najunaju | hiexpo: new to me too | 02:33 |
| farlig | when trying to add songs to my ipod in rhythmbox on 10.04 it says that "filesystem is read only". does anyone have a solution to this? | 02:34 |
| littlebear | farlig: mount it in fstab with umask=0 | 02:35 |
| hiexpo | najunaju, 1 sec | 02:35 |
| oberverbrecher | I should let some botnets flood the nickserv with registration request. Then they maybe disable it and channels have to remove this stupid mode. How do you know wether freenode respects your privacy? What data other than your e-mail address and password do they store? How do they protect your information? People can steal your identity which usually is bound to email address by sniffing nickserv password. | 02:35 |
| farlig | littlebear, how exactly does the cli command look like? | 02:35 |
| littlebear | farlig: http://wiki.littlebearz.com search for fstab | 02:36 |
| gryllida | So, I found my OpenOffice.Org 3.2, which I got from the Software Center, interacting with the Ubuntu 10.04 system very badly. It doesn't have the well-known system 'Serif', 'Sans', and other fonts listed in the dropdown. It pastes text from the buffer into the documents when I middle click, but is unable to add it to buffer when I select something in an OOo document. Do you have an idea for a fix? | 02:36 |
| DasEi | pondera: due to setup, had to pm you | 02:36 |
| oberverbrecher | Also it is bullshit to say that identifying to nickserv prevents spam. It is very easy to automize the nickserv registration process if you wanted to do serious spamming. | 02:37 |
| KB1JWQ | !ops oberverbrecher | 02:37 |
| littlebear | oberverbrecher: it's not like we use the same password for freenode and email lol | 02:38 |
| oberverbrecher | littlebear, When you chat here while being identified it is usally safe to assume that it must be the owner of the e-mail address | 02:38 |
| oberverbrecher | so when someone chats using your nickserv identity it can be assumed it is you | 02:39 |
| littlebear | oberverbrecher: hm.. really? | 02:39 |
| oberverbrecher | Your nickserv identity is bound to your e-mail address and to your e-mail address is bound your real identity. | 02:39 |
| oberverbrecher | nickserv idenity <-> real identity | 02:40 |
| oberverbrecher | thanks to paranoia | 02:40 |
| KB1JWQ | oberverbrecher: Please keep it topical. :-) | 02:40 |
| oberverbrecher | I wish but it is impossible because in #freenode they have quieted me for just asking to remove that identified-people-can-only-chat mode network wide, calling me troll | 02:41 |
| bastidrazor | !troll | oberverbrecher | 02:41 |
| ubottu | oberverbrecher: trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel | 02:41 |
| littlebear | ah.. I want my domain as my mask | 02:41 |
| farlig | littlebear, i don't understand what to do with fstab. i'm a newb on linux would you like to point out the process for me? | 02:42 |
| oberverbrecher | bastidrazor, so you have just been trolling? because what of these things that mean trolling did occur in #freenode? | 02:42 |
| KB1JWQ | oberverbrecher: Voice status in other channels doesn't change the purpose of this channel. If you'd like to remain here, please keep to topic. :-) | 02:42 |
| littlebear | farlig: when you mount, you can mount from fstab | 02:42 |
| bastidrazor | oberverbrecher: this is not #freenode. it is #ubuntu and you crying about not wanting to register has nothing to do with ubuntu support or the /topic here. | 02:43 |
| littlebear | farlig: so sudo mount -a will mount automatically in /etc/fstab | 02:43 |
| gryllida | oberverbrecher: feel free to join #ubuntu-offtopic as well | 02:44 |
| farlig | so.. i should unmount my ipod first. and then write "mount -a /dev/XXX/"? and then what? | 02:45 |
| farlig | littlebear: so.. i should unmount my ipod first. and then write "mount -a /dev/XXX/"? and then what? | 02:46 |
| hopeless8009 | i need some sever help any one here know how to use ebox | 02:46 |
| littlebear | farlig: wait, if you already mount it then just change chmod and chown | 02:47 |
| littlebear | hopeless8009: what is this ebox? | 02:47 |
| DasEi | hiexpo: errm, fine, I can't send to bt, so goto answer here or in pm, sry for that | 02:47 |
| ja660k | im colouring my terminal prompt, one for root, one for normal... it works... but when i run sudo -s it is the normal users prompt? why? | 02:47 |
| slinker1 | i am using ebox hopeless whats up | 02:47 |
| eoke | hopeless8009: Ask a question and anyone that can help will I'm sure. | 02:47 |
| farlig | littlebear, it is mounted. how do i change what you said? | 02:47 |
| littlebear | farlig: sudo chmod 777 /foldertoipod/* | 02:47 |
| SailorReality | Using gnome-config-manager to play around with the values of sleep/hibernate ...will that disable suspend/hibernate all together? | 02:48 |
| SailorReality | im trying to disable it since it doesnt work and causes errors on mine | 02:48 |
| hopeless8009 | can someone tell me how to install a module onto ebox. that is a web based server admin program | 02:48 |
| littlebear | farlig: this allow temporarily to allow anyone on that computer to change, modify, delete, * in that folder | 02:48 |
| hiexpo | DasEi, no prob | 02:48 |
| slinker1 | hopeless8009, check pm | 02:49 |
| hopeless8009 | slinker1, what is that | 02:49 |
| farlig | littlebear, is 777 the right chmod? it doesn't work to write to it, and in the terminal it says that it changed it to "read only" | 02:49 |
| hiexpo | DasEi, i operate them all backtrack pentoo ubuntu i know what works sorry | 02:49 |
| littlebear | farlig: O.o, I thought it's 777, or was it 644, let me check | 02:50 |
| LJRuff | farlig, 777 changes perms to read, write, and execute. | 02:50 |
| littlebear | farlig: yup, it's 777 | 02:50 |
| farlig | littlebear: oh. it says that the file system is read only | 02:51 |
| eoke | hopeless8009: Should be listening on https://hostname/ebox but slinker1 may have already mentioned that. | 02:51 |
| farlig | when i try to change it | 02:51 |
| SailorReality | anyone know a way to disable suspend/hibernate all together? | 02:51 |
| LJRuff | farlig, Are you root? | 02:51 |
| farlig | yeah | 02:51 |
| LJRuff | SailorReality, don't use it? | 02:51 |
| SailorReality | LJRuff: it automatically goes into suspend | 02:51 |

| magn3ts | I'd really freaking love it if Ubuntu would actually eject my disc | 02:52 |
| SailorReality | LJRuff: i tried that | 02:52 |
| magn3ts | since its making a mechanical sound that sounds really bad for my laptop | 02:52 |
| LJRuff | SailorReality, check the screen saver? | 02:52 |
| littlebear | farlig: um. i'm not too sure as I set mine with chown, chmod and /etc/fstab | 02:52 |
| SailorReality | LJRuff: that might work guess ill just set it to never | 02:53 |
| eoke | SailorReality: This might be of interest even though it's for an old version of Ubuntu https://jeremy.visser.name/2007/02/08/how-to-disable-suspend-and-hibernate-for-all-users-in-ubuntu/ | 02:53 |
| LJRuff | littlebear, chown only works if he's the owner of the fs or is root over said fs. | 02:53 |

| littlebear | farlig: I'm not at home atm, sorry, can't get to it lol | 02:59 |
| gryllida | So, I found my OpenOffice.Org 3.2, which I got from the Software Center, interacting with the Ubuntu 10.04 system very badly. It doesn't have the well-known system 'Serif', 'Sans', and other fonts listed in the dropdown. | 02:59 |
| LJRuff | farlig, the line should be like /dev/fd1 auto defaults 0 0 | 02:59 |
| gryllida | It pastes text from the buffer into the documents when I middle click, but is unable to add it to buffer when I select something in an OOo document. Do you have an idea for a fix? | 02:59 |
| farlig | LJRuff: and that will make it writeable? | 03:00 |
| LJRuff | farlig, let me check mine. one moment... | 03:00 |
| LJRuff | farlig, #/dev/fd0 /media/fl auto user,noauto 0 0 | 03:00 |

| statim | anyone know where /var/run is defined? dont see it in fstab... id like to make my own directory like /var/run that is purely temporary | 03:01 |
| DasEi | gryllida: if you don't need the quite hevy oo-suite, have a look at abiword, too, more handie to me | 03:01 |
| LJRuff | statim, is /var on the same part as /? | 03:02 |
| statim | LJRuff: dont see anything with just /var so i think that means its part of / | 03:03 |
| LJRuff | statim, yep! Fire up fdisk or gparted, shrink some space and make a new part for your temp fs. | 03:03 |
| farlig | LJRuff: i don't get any error msg in rhythmbox when dragging files to the ipod anymore, but still there are no new files showing up in the ipod. seems like nothings happening. do you know what could be the problem | 03:04 |
| statim | LJRuff: ah ok, i think ill just make the necessary perms to a directory in /var/run then. i didnt know it involved that | 03:04 |
| LJRuff | farlig, eject the iPod via Ubuntu to write data to it. | 03:05 |
| helltraum | Anyone know how to trace/fix errors from scons please ? | 03:05 |
| gryllida | DasEi: I was looking, it doesn't support select/middleclick copypaste style at all. | 03:07 |
| gryllida | it = abiword | 03:07 |
| DasEi | gryllida: but copy n paste will work, as said, I use other apps, and you can configure shortcuts there | 03:09 |
| gryllida | DasEi: this is unusual copy / paste, which is absent in Windows, which is 'selct text block top copy, middle click to paste', not same as ctrl + c / v, works even in Terminal, only pastes in open office, doesn't work in abiword at all. | 03:10 |
| meowbuntu | i need to edit pdf files. openoffice is not good even with the pdf viewer. document viewer is just a viewer i need a pdf editer that can save in other formats like .doc etc | 03:12 |
| jarHeadless | meowbuntu: good question | 03:13 |
| daniel_ | Hello everyone | 03:13 |
| DasEi | gryllida: both, rightclick or the the buttons on top do it | 03:13 |
| littlebear | meowbuntu: hey, lol, you're right, let me search it up | 03:13 |
| jarHeadless | meowbuntu: most times I just C+P | 03:13 |
| heathen | Just got an Ion Breeze w/10.04 on it but it's DOA. Is there chat room that discusses this thing? | 03:13 |
| meowbuntu | ya its a good question sux though. with all the awsomessness of openoffice it opens .pdf in the drawing part. not the writer. a big disapointment | 03:14 |
| heathen | Doesn't even boot. | 03:14 |
| littlebear | meowbuntu: did you try pdfedit? | 03:15 |
| farlig | LJRuff: i think it might be a problem with my ipod since it is formatted on a mac. do you recognize that problem? | 03:15 |
| gryllida | DasEi: this is _usual_ copypaste, ofc it works. I want the mouse copy/pasting work in the word processor. | 03:15 |
| gryllida | it currently works in emacs, Terminal, Firefox, ..... | 03:16 |
| LJRuff | farlig, No, I do not. However, it should not be an issue. Macs now use OSx, which is related to Linux via the Unix tree. Furthermore, iPods run FAT, if I recall correctly, which is compatible with Linux. | 03:16 |
| gryllida | but only 50% in OOo and 0% in Abiword. | 03:16 |
| LJRuff | farlig, Unplug your iPod and close rhythmbox, then plug your iPod back in. Do you see it on the Desktop? | 03:16 |
| farlig | yes i do | 03:17 |
| farlig | this does not work howeever | 03:17 |
| helltraum | Anyone help please ? | 03:17 |
| LJRuff | farlig, right click and format it. | 03:17 |
| LJRuff | !ask | helltraum | 03:17 |
| ubottu | helltraum: 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. :-) | 03:17 |
| meowbuntu | ya its a good question sux though. with all the awsomessness of openoffice it opens .pdf in the drawing part. not the writer. a big disapointment | 03:17 |
| edbian | helltraum, Repeat your question? | 03:17 |
| farlig | LJRuff: will that not erase the firmware and stuff? | 03:17 |
| meowbuntu | thanks littlebear pdf edit looks ok | 03:18 |
| LJRuff | farlig, I used to run it on mine with no ill effects. | 03:18 |
| helltraum | Trying to build something with scons ... | 03:18 |
| gryllida | DasEi: which is very annoying, I use it a lot in emacs, and often hit middle click in the word processor, and then have about a minute of yelling at it that it doesn't work, really need a fix, a week of yelling made me tired. | 03:18 |
| helltraum | getting a missing pulse/gccmacro.h | 03:18 |
| edbian | helltraum, sorry, can't offer any help. I have no experience with that. | 03:19 |
| helltraum | Ok .. thanks anyway | 03:19 |
| LJRuff | helltraum, try #linux in the meantime | 03:19 |
| helltraum | Ok .. thanks ... | 03:19 |
| heathen | My Ion Breeze(used) arrived DOA. Anybody know a group to help troubleshoot? | 03:20 |
| boxbeatsy | hi guys, is there a way to pause all php processes running? | 03:20 |
| meowbuntu | littlebear: again pdfedit looks more like a drawing application i want an application like adobe reader that is more a txt file program not a drawing appication ok | 03:21 |
| meowbuntu | littlebear: yes pdfedit is to muh like a drawing application not a pdf txt editor | 03:23 |
| edbian | meowbuntu, My understanding is that a .pdf is a picture. The actual characters are no longer stored. | 03:23 |
| edbian | meowbuntu, It is a normal text file with mark up until you save it as a pdf. Then it becomes a picture. That's why gimp can open .pdf | 03:24 |
| xangua | meowbuntu: if you have a google account you can use google docs to transform your pdf or images into an editable file | 03:24 |
| boxbeatsy | hi, is there a way to pause all php processes running at a given time? | 03:26 |
| edbian | boxbeatsy, You can kill them and restart them. I'm not aware of a way to pause any program without a debugger. | 03:26 |
| hiexpo | pdf = http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&defl=en&q=define:PDF+&sa=X&ei=avEvTMGpBoH98Aa7t9XJCw&ved=0CBIQkAE | 03:27 |
| boxbeatsy | edbian: blah, i can't kill it. i need to pause all the running php processes so that i can change out a file syncrhonously | 03:27 |
| NigelS | edbian, PDFs are not pictures; not in the sense of an image format | 03:28 |
| edbian | boxbeatsy, No idea. | 03:28 |
| edbian | NigelS, Can you explain what they are? | 03:28 |
| boxbeatsy | edbian: np ill keep looking | 03:28 |
| edbian | NigelS, wikipedia says that it is a fixed layout 2D document with text, fonts, images, and vector images. Obviously it's different than a word document because the text characters are not easily accessible. | 03:30 |
| hiexpo | portable document file | 03:30 |
| boxbeatsy | o hmm..i found kill -STOP PID which supposedly pauses a process, but do you think if a php thread is waiting for a response from curl, and then i pause it before it comes back, what will happen? | 03:31 |
| NigelS | edbian, sure, none of which makes it a picture - and the text is readily available; just open a pdf with "less" for example | 03:31 |
| edbian | NigelS, I'm reading more and it basically sounds like what a word document would be if it were object oriented design. | 03:31 |
| hiexpo | can be a text or pic | 03:31 |
| edbian | But it is difficult to change the text. | 03:31 |
| NigelS | edbian, it describes "images" using a variant of postscript - specifying vectors | 03:31 |
| NigelS | edbian, not enormously - it's just not something that we've had on linux yet sadly - inkscape can do it I gather | 03:32 |
| edbian | NigelS, Yeah, I understand that images can be in a .pdf | 03:32 |
| edbian | and I know what a vector image | 03:32 |
| edbian | is | 03:32 |
| jimerickson | sounds like an electron can be a particle or a wave | 03:33 |
| hiexpo | a pdf is = Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file format created by Adobe Systems in 1993 for document exchange. PDF is used for representing two-dimensional documents in a manner independent of the application software, hardware, and operating system.Adobe Systems Incorporated | 03:34 |
| red2kic | Nobody created three-dimensional documents yet? | 03:34 |
| edbian | hiexpo, Thanks for copy and pasting the first line of wikipedia that I already read. | 03:34 |
| hiexpo | ok | 03:34 |
| edbian | red2kic, there is a 3D support from adobe and others | 03:35 |
| meowbuntu | ok all these applications for pdf viewer/editors are actually more drawing editops. not like ms word. http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/open-source-linux-pdf-writer.html | 03:35 |
| meowbuntu | is there nothing like adobe reader/writer that can read or just convert .pdf to .doc etc | 03:35 |
| urlwallace | I just installed ubuntu 10.4 and its swweeet. Do I still need a firewall like firestarter( my router gives me stealth as per grc.com) thanks | 03:36 |
| red2kic | meowbuntu: How about Google Docs? :o | 03:36 |
| red2kic | meowbuntu: I don't know but it's something you should try. | 03:36 |

| gryllida | help! does unix style copy paste work in OOo for you, like middle click to paste, select to copy, it won't work here, how do I turn it on? | 03:38 |
| gryllida | OOo doesn't have 'serif' and other system fonts listed in the dropdown | 03:38 |
| gryllida | looks like it lacks integration with the system | 03:39 |
| red2kic | gryllida: Ctrl + C / Ctrl + P works fine. | 03:39 |
| gryllida | red2kic: I want the mouse (middleclicky) paste to work, use it a lot in emacs, terminal, firefox, ... want to turn it on in the word processor as well, very annoying when I middle click, find it fail, look around, and find out that this is because it's OOo | 03:40 |
| coz_ | middle click paste into open office word works here | 03:40 |
| === K4k_ is now known as K4k_mobile | ||
| gryllida | red2kic: it pastes from other apps to OOo, but no copying from OOo to anywhere, nomatter what block of text I select in OOo | 03:41 |
| red2kic | gryllida: The behavior occurs same here. | 03:41 |
| coz_ | gryllida, ok let me try that hold on | 03:41 |
| coz_ | gryllida, well it works with gedit let try terminal hold on | 03:41 |
| coz_ | gryllida, nope it works in terminal as well | 03:42 |
| gryllida | red2kic, oh, please look into your fonts dropdown, are 'serif' and 'monospace' and other system fonts listed? | 03:42 |
| NigelS | meowbuntu, I don't know whether it was mentioned above, but inkscape can import and export PDF files now; it's not perfect but you can edit text using it - though the font might not be preserved | 03:42 |
| gryllida | coz_: it works for me everywhere, but not when trying to copy from OOo to anywhere, via selecting some block of text | 03:42 |
| gryllida | coz_: terminal,gedit, firefox are ok | 03:43 |
| red2kic | gryllida: They are not listed. | 03:43 |
| coz_ | gryllida, well here highlihgint in office it middle click pastes everywhere | 03:43 |
| coz_ | for me | 03:43 |
| gryllida | red2kic: listed where? | 03:43 |
| gryllida | coz_: great it works for you, I'm on ubuntu 10.04, OOo 3.2, what other info can I give you to troubleshoot me? | 03:43 |
| red2kic | gryllida: On the toolbar -- but you can type in "Monospace" and it'll change. | 03:44 |
| gryllida | red2kic: see, it works for coz_ though | 03:44 |
| coz_ | gryllida, let me try on maverick I dont run lucid hold on | 03:44 |
| red2kic | gryllida: Oh that works here. | 03:44 |
| red2kic | gryllida: I could sworn it didn't work -- but yeah, highlighting (and no CTRL+C) register it and bought it to geany. | 03:45 |
| meowbuntu | NigelS: inkskape is a drawing appliction is it not | 03:45 |
| gryllida | red2kic, coz_, troubleshoot me, what info should I give you, how do I make it work here... | 03:46 |
| coz_ | gryllida, hold on let me try on maverick | 03:46 |
| gryllida | ok | 03:46 |
| red2kic | gryllida: I don't know. :| Try reinstall the package? | 03:46 |
| NigelS | meowbuntu, it's a vector drawing application yes; it will import text as text and any vector images it will try to import accurately | 03:46 |
| gryllida | I did. Both repo and OOo from their website have this behavior. | 03:46 |
| coz_ | gryllida, ok it works on maverick fine both to and from open office | 03:47 |
| coz_ | gryllida, you say some fonts are not showing up in office? | 03:47 |
| gryllida | coz_: yes, I don't see 'serif' in fonts dropdown, have to type it in manually | 03:47 |
| coz_ | gryllida, ok run sudo fc-cache -fv | 03:48 |
| gryllida | Hmmmmmm. | 03:48 |
| coz_ | gryllida, reopen office and see if they sh ow up then | 03:48 |
| gryllida | What does it do? | 03:48 |
| coz_ | gryllida, that regenerates the font cache | 03:48 |
| littlebear | -f is forced, -v is version? or verbose? | 03:49 |
| coz_ | gryllida, as far as the middle click highlight paste issue I am not sure about why that is NOT working there... it should work systemically | 03:49 |
| gryllida | Ok, any suggestion for middle clicking paste? | 03:49 |
| gryllida | oh | 03:49 |
| codeputty | where do i set an environment variable to be used in a init.d script? i tried .bashrc in ~root and in ~hudson (user that the service is run as) | 03:49 |
| S4nD3r | Please, Id like some help to have login in task bar. like this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MessagingMenu/ | 03:49 |
| S4nD3r | I have shutdown icon, but theres no login name anymore | 03:49 |
| gryllida | coz_: the main is the copying issue, I will try your line about fonts, but pasting is first priority | 03:50 |
| S4nD3r | what to do to restore this like original installation? | 03:50 |
| S4nD3r | In 10.04 | 03:50 |
| coz_ | gryllida, first thing I would do is run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and see if anything needs to be upgraded | 03:50 |
| coz_ | gryllida, understood...that would certainly be a concern for me.. and I would assume for me that either I didnt something to the system or something is severly broken | 03:51 |
| xangua | !panels | S4nD3r | 03:51 |
| ubottu | S4nD3r: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 03:51 |
| coz_ | gryllida, is this an upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 or a clean install of lucid?? | 03:51 |
| S4nD3r | I did that | 03:51 |
| piju | how can i request lots of CDs ? | 03:51 |
| bastidrazor | gryllida: isn't middle click paste just a highlight then middle click somewhere else? | 03:52 |
| piju | ive emailed to info@shipit.ubuntu.com, but still no respons | 03:52 |
| coz_ | bastidrazor, yeah but for gryllida apparenlty this is broken with highlight from open office to somewhere else | 03:52 |
| gryllida | coz_: *broken with Open Office (works fine elsewhere) and I did run the updates recently, so don't know what to do next | 03:52 |
| coz_ | gryllida, did you run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 03:52 |
| gryllida | bastidrazor: it is. it works everyhwer but openoffice | 03:52 |
| DasEi | piju: that will take some time, and lots of.. will have to copy yourself I think | 03:53 |
| bastidrazor | coz_: ah, no idea what/why OO would do that. | 03:53 |
| coz_ | gryllida, ok is this an upgraded system or a clean installed one? | 03:53 |
| gryllida | coz_: after OS install ation, I ran update manager, had a kernel update, think this line is included in what it did. | 03:53 |
| Volkodav | When will xfce be updated in repos for 10.04 to 4.6.2 ( was released in May) | 03:54 |
| coz_ | gryllida, ok but apt-get dist-upgrade is different than update | 03:54 |
| gryllida | coz_: new install of Lucid | 03:54 |
| coz_ | gryllida, mmm then I am definitly confused about the open officie issie it works fine on both karmic and maverick unless this is specific to lucid | 03:54 |
| coz_ | gryllida, which wouldnt surprise me | 03:55 |
| S4nD3r | I did that, theres shutdown icon, but no login name anymore. like was in default instalation | 03:55 |
| red2kic | !info xfce4 maverick | Volkodav | 03:55 |
| ubottu | Volkodav: xfce4 (source: xfce4): Meta-package for the Xfce Lightweight Desktop Environment. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.6.2 (maverick), package size 7 kB, installed size 40 kB | 03:55 |
| gryllida | coz_: does dist-upgrate take long or need a reboot? | 03:56 |
| S4nD3r | This command line made this wrong: aptitude purge indicator-me indicator-messages gwibber | 03:56 |
| S4nD3r | How to revert this one | 03:56 |
| bastidrazor | gryllida: openoffice word processor or ? it is working for me in the word processor.. from elsewhere TO OO | 03:56 |
| Volkodav | red2kic: I asked about 10.04 | 03:56 |
| coz_ | gryllida, generally neither unless it is installing a new kernel | 03:57 |
| red2kic | Volkodav: Use Xfce4 PPA if it's available. Try asking in #xubuntu too | 03:57 |
| red2kic | Volkodav: Also... | 03:57 |
| red2kic | !latest | Volkodav | 03:57 |
| ubottu | Volkodav: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. | 03:57 |
| trism | S4nD3r: indicator-me is the package for the part you want, you'll need to reinstall that if you want it back | 03:57 |
| Black_Phantom | Hey all how do I install wxPython in Ubuntu, more precisely what are the name of the packages that I should install ? | 03:57 |
| coz_ | Volkodav, https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/+archive/ppa | 03:57 |
| Volkodav | Thanks coz_ and red2kic - this release was a bug fix so i figured it should get in | 03:59 |
| gryllida | coz_: should I close OOo before running your line? | 03:59 |
| red2kic | Black_Phantom: python-wxgtk2.6 ? | 03:59 |
| red2kic | Black_Phantom: "aptitude search python-wxgtk" | 03:59 |
| Black_Phantom | red2kic, thanks i found it ) | 03:59 |
| coz_ | gryllida, well not necessary at all unless of course there is an open office update which you would then have to restart it anyway | 03:59 |
| Black_Phantom | :)* | 03:59 |
| S4nD3r | so | 04:00 |
| S4nD3r | nothing | 04:00 |
| S4nD3r | I have the icon | 04:00 |
| S4nD3r | but no login name anymore | 04:00 |
| FloodBot1 | S4nD3r: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:00 |
| red2kic | S4nD3r: To revert back -- "aptitude install indicator-me indicator-messages gwibber" then... | 04:01 |
| red2kic | !resetpanels | S4nD3r | 04:01 |
| ubottu | S4nD3r: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 04:01 |
| === kaiser is now known as Guest1465 | ||
| trism | S4nD3r: you don't need to reset the panel, you just need to log out and in again to restart indicator-applet-session | 04:01 |
| gryllida | I guess this is a kernel update, coz_? Get:1 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/main linux-image-2.6.32-23-generic 2.6.32-23.37 [31.5MB] | 04:01 |
| IdleOne | gryllida: yes | 04:02 |
| S4nD3r | I will logout to try it | 04:02 |
| S4nD3r | thanks for while | 04:02 |
| gryllida | IdleOne: ok.... | 04:02 |
| gryllida | This is 10.04, how often are kernel updates happening? | 04:03 |
| red2kic | gryllida: Kernels are pretty awesome. http://www.kernel.org/ | 04:05 |
| philsf | what's the proper channel to ask about packages from the canonical DX team PPA? | 04:05 |
| red2kic | philsf: The proper channel is on Launchpad (Questions) under that canonical DX team PPA. -- My best bet. | 04:06 |
| cwheeler | where do I put kernel boot parameters in 10.04? | 04:06 |
| bastidrazor | cwheeler: /etc/default/grub | 04:07 |
| bastidrazor | huh.. in and out | 04:07 |
| red2kic | cwheeler: bastidrazor said in /etc/default/grub.... and also, don't forget to run "update-grub" afterward. | 04:08 |
| cwheeler | thanks red2kic , my client crashed | 04:08 |
| mudgen | does anybody know what clojure.lang.RT is? | 04:09 |
| ubuntu | HEY ALL | 04:10 |
| ubuntu | opps | 04:10 |
| ubuntu | So, I have a grub2 question | 04:10 |
| red2kic | ubuntu: Ask away or we will never know your question. | 04:10 |
| ubuntu | I installed ubuntu onto a 40 gig drive, 3 partitions (/, /boot and swap) then a while later I got a bigger drive. So I partitioned that up, and copied the install across and I was wondering how to write the MBR | 04:11 |
| cwheeler | where are the docs on the format of /etc/default/grub | 04:11 |
| cwheeler | ? | 04:11 |
| ubuntu | I was following a how to, but it seems ubuntu uses grub2 ratehr then the howtos's grub | 04:11 |
| ubuntu | red, give us a chance will ya ;) | 04:12 |
| cwheeler | grub-install would be my guess | 04:12 |
| red2kic | !grub2 | cwheeler | 04:12 |
| ubottu | cwheeler: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 04:12 |
| red2kic | cwheeler: grub-install. Yes. | 04:12 |
| cwheeler | thanks red2kic | 04:13 |
| red2kic | Err, I That was for ubuntu. | 04:13 |
| ubuntu | red2kic, I'll have a read | 04:14 |
| mudgen | what is clojure.lang.RT ? | 04:16 |
| Zelozelos | whats the offtopic channel's name again? | 04:17 |
| soreau | Zelozelos: #ubuntu-offtopic | 04:17 |
| Zelozelos | ty | 04:17 |
| woodworks | isn't clojure an ide? emacs? | 04:18 |
| ubuntu | red2kic, That documentation looks perfect especially the "Recover Grub 2 via LiveCD" section. I just wasn;t sure what to google for :D | 04:18 |
| red2kic | ubuntu: Great. :) | 04:18 |

The 1st user is an admin so obviously has root perms to the filesystem, but the 2nd user isn't, however she still seems to be able to delete files owned by the 1st user that have only read privileges. What am I doing wrong? :/ | 04:34 |
| LJRuff | Pondera, mount - is it mounted? | 04:34 |
| Pondera | it says it not mounted | 04:35 |
| LJRuff | volve, check number 2's sudo permissions (/etc/sudoers) | 04:35 |

| Pondera | umount: /006 is not mounted (according to mtab) | 04:36 |

| paulmer | I have a netbook for my brother that is running ubuntu, he needs the nm-applet (network manager or whatever) so he can select the right wireless networks | 04:42 |

| node357 | hi, why when i try to play openarea with the computer there are no opponents? | 04:57 |
| node357 | on ubuntu 10.04 64 bit | 04:57 |
| thune3 | gOLDfeesh: the filesystems take up space to do there thing, and this space is not recorded as available, because it is not available space to the user. | 04:58 |
| thune3 | *their | 04:58 |
| node357 | sorry, I mean openarena | 04:59 |
| acovrig | I am having issues with my trackpad, if I use my finger, it doesnt work, but if I lay my finger down, it works (use 1/2 the finger instead of the tip) | 04:59 |
| Guitarzan | When formatting the system clock in Lubuntu, I have only the ability to enter strftime format codes. How can one format the format codes (as if from a gnome based gconf-editor)? | 05:00 |
| guest2 | is it normal for window resizing to be slow when default resize mode in compizconfig is set to normal? | 05:00 |
| EdiblePlastique_ | go to the software centre and search "touchpad", node357 | 05:00 |
| EdiblePlastique_ | guest2 try setting to to 'rectangle' | 05:01 |
| gryllida | Updated kernel to something-23, now am getting GRUB error "unknown controller version (2)" on every boot. It boots normally, works, but is there anything I should do about it? | 05:01 |
| guest2 | yes, that's teh default | 05:01 |
| guest2 | the | 05:01 |
| gryllida | Or just ignore it? | 05:01 |
| guest2 | I'm asking whether it's normal | 05:01 |
| guest2 | or if my ati proprietary drivers suck | 05:01 |
| Guitarzan | BTW: Happy 4th of July for Eastern Time Zone US folks! | 05:01 |
| EdiblePlastique_ | oh | 05:01 |
| EdiblePlastique_ | I bet is it, I don't know, I don't have an ATI GPU. | 05:01 |
| gOLDfeesh | Hey okay sorry about that in Windows now | 05:02 |
| EdiblePlastique_ | Did you have crappy performance on your original OS? | 05:02 |
| grpace | Guitarzan: HAppy 4th from Central Time ! | 05:02 |
| gOLDfeesh | so I think I figured out the issue but I'm tryin to figure out... My buddy ran ccleaner on my computer with "Wipe Free space" so maybe that did it.. buuuuuut it still shows it as only 298 GB.." | 05:02 |
| guest2 | EdiblePlastique_: so it's not slow for you? | 05:02 |
| sweetpi | gOLDfeesh: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabyte#Consumer_confusion | 05:02 |
| acovrig | I am having issues with my trackpad, if I use my finger, it doesnt work, but if I lay my finger down, it works (use 1/2 the finger instead of the tip) | 05:03 |
| node357 | EdiblePlastique_, what? i don't use a touchpad | 05:03 |
| gOLDfeesh | sweetpi so 297 GB = 320? | 05:04 |
| node357 | i played this openarena game on windows and it had bots but this ubuntu version doesnt have them and i'm wondering why | 05:04 |
| gOLDfeesh | from my understanding I'm missing 23GB... | 05:04 |
| EdiblePlastique_ | node357, but you said you were having trouble with your track pad. | 05:04 |
| guest2 | there's 8 bits in a byte.. so anything else is absurd! | 05:04 |
| node357 | no i didn't EdiblePlastique_ | 05:04 |
| EdiblePlastique_ | oh | 05:04 |
| EdiblePlastique_ | wrong eprson | 05:04 |
| node357 | thanks though | 05:05 |
| EdiblePlastique_ | guest2, not too slow. | 05:05 |
| guest2 | but far from real-time? | 05:05 |
| node357 | the single player in this game can't be played beacuse the opponents don't appear | 05:05 |
| guest2 | it starts resizing 500+ milliseconds after i drag | 05:05 |
| EdiblePlastique_ | acovrig, Download touchpad from the software centre | 05:05 |
| mudgen | does anybody know how to get clojure classloaders to work with java webstart? | 05:05 |
| guest2 | mudgen, #clojure | 05:05 |
| mudgen | oh sorry | 05:05 |
| gOLDfeesh | I'm just tryign to figure out where the 60GB I resized my parition went.. | 05:06 |
| EdiblePlastique_ | guest2, not really. I mean, it's fast enough. | 05:06 |
| gOLDfeesh | doesn't show up in gparted.. | 05:06 |
| guest2 | lies. | 05:06 |
| sweetpi | gOLDfeesh: thats right, for instance my 1TB drive shows 932GB | 05:06 |
| node357 | so nobody has any idea why this non working game is in the software list | 05:06 |
| sweetpi | gOLDfeesh: so im "missing" 68GB | 05:06 |
| guest2 | EdiblePlastique_: why else is it disabled by default even on "extra" visual effects | 05:06 |
| EdiblePlastique_ | guest2, I have no idea. | 05:07 |
| guest2 | because it's slow. | 05:07 |
| gOLDfeesh | sweetpi, you my friend are a life save. I thank you for this :) | 05:07 |
| EdiblePlastique_ | must be | 05:07 |
| gOLDfeesh | SwedeMike but what about the 60GB that I resized it with.. | 05:07 |
| * guest2 hands EdiblePlastique_ an opengl book and the source code | 05:07 | |
| gOLDfeesh | sorry SwedeMike meant sweetpi | 05:07 |
| * EdiblePlastique_ gulps | 05:08 | |
| asianmale | hey guys, anyone have problems with belkin wireless routers continually dropping the connection??? it's driving me nuts | 05:08 |
| gOLDfeesh | sweetpi like.. I resized it but i'm guessing because when i deleted the recovery from Windows it added the unallocated 60GB back to Windows perhaps? | 05:08 |
| ger | Hola | 05:08 |
| node357 | anybody know why single player in openarena has no opponents? | 05:09 |
| sweetpi | gOLDfeesh: yes perhaps, does gparted show unallocated space? | 05:09 |
| Guitarzan | What is the equivalent of Gnome's "gconf-editor" in an LXDE environment? | 05:09 |
| guest2 | Guitarzan: apt-get install gconf-editor | 05:09 |
| guest2 | i'm sure gnome applications still use it under the hood | 05:10 |
| node357 | or just ignore my question, that's cool | 05:10 |
| gOLDfeesh | sweetpi the only unallocated space is umm... 1MiB | 05:10 |
| Guitarzan | Not for the system clock, which is what I'm trying to edit. I tried that already. Thanks though. First person to bother answering +100 bonus points to team guest2 | 05:10 |
| gOLDfeesh | node357 why not check out #openarena | 05:11 |
| sweetpi | gOLDfeesh: then yes, it the resize added the space to the other partition | 05:11 |
| node357 | okay thanks gOLDfeesh | 05:11 |
| gOLDfeesh | node357 not a prob. | 05:11 |

| ubottu | opij: subversion is an open source application used for revision control. It is sometimes abbreviated to svn in reference to the name of its command line interface. Look here for a Subversion How To on Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Subversion | 05:15 |

| node357 | ya know every time i've come here for help I've gotten nothing, why is that | 05:16 |
| sweetpi | opij: basically means keeping track of multiple versions of files, typically source code | 05:16 |
| autumn__ | The Ubuntu screen comes up in what looks like 640x480, then when Gnome should come up I get colored garbage on a mostly black screen. | 05:16 |
| opij | node357: maybe because you don't state the problem | 05:16 |

| paulmer | Very constructive. | 05:19 |
| EdiblePlastique_ | abuayyoub, download Chromium. It's a newer build and the buttons are already on the left. | 05:19 |
| IdleOne | node357: ahh | 05:19 |
| paulmer | how wonderful for you to ignore my question, the whole point in the existence of this channel | 05:19 |
| paulmer | and instead whine about some dumb rule | 05:19 |

| node357 | great answer opij, asking me to be understanding when you can't... and not even speaking to me directly | 05:22 |
| sweetpi | opij: maybe try aptitude and look for broken packages | 05:22 |
| node357 | it's eben about 12 hours of trynig to get linux to work straight | 05:23 |
| node357 | i give up | 05:23 |

| ubuntu | I just copied an install of ubuntu between two drives, and I managed to get grub installed. The boot seems to mostly work, the new drive gets mounted in the right place, but the login gui never comes up. I can ctrl-alt-f1 to a new console and log in as a user, but I cannot sudo - the error says that I am unable to read the sudoers file. I suspect that the same issue is stopping X from starting to | 05:23 |
| Uboy | autumn__: If u can use that bad GUI for removing nvidia, do it, but if not, I havn't any Idea, sorry and I don't think u can remove any drivers and apps, in Live CD session | 05:24 |

| Uboy | sweetpi: yes, ThinkFinger, f_print demo, libpam and....does'y work for me | 05:29 |

| clammitt | hey whatever happened to that ubuntu podcast? nobodys doing one | 05:32 |
| guest2 | clammitt: since when is java known for tight os integration? :P | 05:33 |
| gryllida | clammitt: sounds like time for you to make one? | 05:33 |
| clammitt | guest2: i am under the impression thats the distribution's job not javas | 05:33 |
| clammitt | gryllida: not me i dont use ubuntu | 05:33 |
| clammitt | i would know what to talk BOUT | 05:34 |
| * guest2 wonders why the package maintainers are afraid to touch the sun/oracle jvm... | 05:34 | |
| jamescarr | doh... what is the default growl like app that comes with ubuntu 10??? | 05:34 |
| Uboy | sweetpi: so what can I do? | 05:34 |
| gryllida | growl like? | 05:34 |
| gryllida | what is its function? | 05:34 |
| clammitt | guest2 i thought ubunbtu had a sun java package already | 05:34 |
| sweetpi | Uboy: (warning: i know nothing about fingerprint readers) what errors do you get with the instructions from thinkfinger? | 05:34 |
| jamescarr | yeah... growl on mac | 05:34 |
| guest2 | clammitt: but that's openjdk? | 05:34 |

| cwheeler | how do I get ubuntu kernel source packages? | 05:35 |
| ubottu | To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. | 05:35 |
| Uboy | sweetpi: usb device not found | 05:35 |
| winston84 | hi all! what do you think is the best console font? | 05:35 |
| cwheeler | !kernel-source | 05:35 |
| ubottu | To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages | 05:35 |
| bazhang | guest2, enable the partner repo | 05:35 |
| gryllida | winston84: Monospace? | 05:35 |
| guest2 | bazhang: it's okay.. I downloaded the extractor from the java website then created a symbolic link to it under /usr/bin/java .. | 05:36 |
| winston84 | dunno :) | 05:36 |
| sweetpi | Uboy: after what part of the instructions(i.e. what command did you run?) maybe you could pastebin your exact steps | 05:36 |
| clammitt | i just wanna keep up on latest big changes to ubuntu where would i go for that? not small things like replacing aptitude with apt-get etc.. im a little saddened that one podcast seems to have disappeared :( | 05:36 |
| Uboy | sweetpi: but in "lsusb" command output I can see the name UPEK in first line http://pastebin.com/JuNZJWFS | 05:36 |
| guest2 | clammitt: create.. don't consume | 05:37 |
| clammitt | guest2: and that means what? | 05:37 |
| cwheeler | !source-packages | 05:37 |
| bazhang | clammitt, check the development roadmap? read the new ubuntu manual, you can subscribe to the main developers podcasts as well | 05:38 |
| Uboy | sweetpi: after this command: sudo tf-tool --acquire | 05:38 |
| bazhang | !manual | clammitt | 05:38 |
| ubottu | clammitt: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 05:38 |
| gryllida | How do I update Abobe Flash player? Do I need to add a repo to Software Center for that? | 05:38 |
| bazhang | clammitt, the mailing lists are also a good source of info | 05:38 |
| rcsheets | 'ip addr' shows my eth0 interface as "<BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UNKNOWN qlen 1000" ... what does "state UNKNOWN" mean? ... that seems bad. | 05:38 |

| clammitt | bazhang: hm didnt know the devs had one.. i google around but these dont turn up.. i guess ill try to find that unless you have a link on hand | 05:39 |
| gryllida | !root | 05:39 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 05:39 |
| gryllida | Shohs ^ | 05:39 |

| bazhang | clammitt, let me check , hang on a second | 05:39 |
| Shohs | Ok | 05:39 |
| sweetpi | Uboy: what is the exact error after "tf-tool --aquire"? | 05:39 |

| guest2 | damn.. java really does suck, a simple gui app consumes 78mb.. whereas the identical Qt port consumes 7-8mb | 05:40 |
| gryllida | Shohs: you can reset your own user password in system > preferences > about me > change password button at right top. | 05:40 |
| guest2 | oops, off-topic | 05:40 |

| clammitt | iflema: thanks.. though my experience with lists is that they get cluttered quite fast.. i will look at all of those though | 05:40 |
| Shohs | Ok | 05:40 |
| gryllida | Shohs: if you are in sudoers ("admin") group, then whenever you install something, you're prompted for password. | 05:40 |
| Shohs | Well, I will try to use sudo and it asks me pass if i try to enter pass it wont show anything. | 05:41 |
| gryllida | Shons: so that if a virus is trying (which is rare on linux) to run / put itself into a system dir, you will get a prompt, "enter password for app so-and-so", which can be bypassed only by you entering the password which you wouldn't do until you know the app. | 05:41 |
| iflema | clammitt rss feed http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/feed | 05:42 |
| gryllida | Shons; to run apps as root, use sudo, or gksu, if the're graphical | 05:42 |
| guest2 | what's stopping an app from immitating gksudo? | 05:42 |
| clammitt | iflema: excellent thanks | 05:42 |
| guest2 | oh, the background dims.. i guess user-mode apps can't do that | 05:43 |
| Guest83228 | cwheeler: its me "ubuntu", but on a different puter. I gave my root user a password using a live cd, then booted my broken install. Looks like "/" is not owned by root, its owned by a user! Opps. | 05:44 |
| Shohs | Aww, I want to put pass in Sudo but its not working. | 05:44 |
| abin | longgehao | 05:44 |
| abin | are you ready | 05:44 |
| cwheeler | that will be a problem ubuntu | 05:45 |
| Guest83228 | cwheeler: now a "ls -ld /" gives me "drwx------ 26 root root 2010-07-04 14:36 /" - | 05:45 |
| bazhang | http://fullcirclemagazine.org/ clammitt there are links here to latest podcasts | 05:45 |
| gryllida | Updated kernel to something-23, now am getting GRUB error "unknown controller version (2)" on every boot. It boots normally, works, but is there anything I should do about it? | 05:46 |
| gryllida | Since Grub just picks an OS to load, and its picked properly, should I worry, or what should I do? | 05:46 |
| clammitt | bazhang: great | 05:47 |
| bazhang | gryllida, everything works? just that error message? | 05:47 |
| clammitt | bazhang: that one looks like it might be exactly what im looking for | 05:48 |
| * Tw|sT is loading out his 2nd Ubuntu workstation of the day. | 05:50 | |
| cbill | Hey, i have a small issue: i just installed 64bit ubuntu to my second drive(other drive was unplugged at the time), other drive is running 9.10 and im unable to mount it, disk utility and gparted do see it, but its not in "places" or /mount | 05:50 |
| Tw|sT | I can't get over the quality of the 10.04-LTS release. I've had nothing but perfect results out of it so far. Mad props to the Ubuntu Dev team on this excellent release! | 05:51 |
| Guest83228 | okay so shoudl root "/" be shoud be rwxr-xr-x? | 05:51 |
| rcsheets | Guest83228: Yes, drwxr-xr-x | 05:53 |
| rcsheets | Guest83228: owner=root, group=root | 05:53 |
| Guest83228 | rcsheets: exceleent, it started working after I did that. | 05:54 |
| rcsheets | Guest83228: yeah, i'd imagine wrong permissions on / would be a pretty bad thing | 05:55 |
| cbill | Can someone help me mount my 2nd harddisk, i dont see it anywhere :( | 05:55 |
| gryllida | < bazhang> gryllida, everything works? just that error message? // right | 05:56 |
| linze | morning all | 05:56 |
| gryllida | bazhang, should I do anything about it? | 05:56 |
| bazhang | gryllida, have everything backed up, just in case? | 05:56 |
| gryllida | bazhang: I do make backups somewhat regularly, but what this error could mean? Prior to the update, it was 'unknown control char (32)', and I ignored it, after the kernel update, it changed. | 05:57 |
| winston84 | cbill: does "sudo fdisk -l" list your drive? look for the device file and mount it manually | 05:58 |
| shadowman | ok the ELF tables are defined in the ld-linux.so.2 right? | 05:59 |
| cbill | winston84: yes it there; so mount /dev/sda1? | 05:59 |
| DanDare | Hello. Where to change wich window manager Ubuntu loads from 'startx' ? | 05:59 |
| ImaLamer | cbill, that would be it | 06:00 |
| cbill | imalamer: getting an error: mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdb1 is already mounted on / | 06:01 |
| cbill | mount failed | 06:01 |
| bazhang | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1471138 gryllida this may shed some light | 06:01 |
| ImaLamer | cbill, just run "mount" does it show there (in the list)? | 06:01 |
| bazhang | gryllida, the second error seems to relate to the control characters, nothing awful from what I can tell | 06:01 |
| ImaLamer | cbill, if the list is long run "mount | grep sdb1" | 06:02 |
| gryllida | bazhang, can you tell a couple of words about what a control character is? | 06:02 |
| cbill | imalamer: yup its there | 06:02 |
| cbill | imalamer: /dev/sdb1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro) | 06:02 |
| ImaLamer | cbill, could it be we are looking at the wrong device (sdb*) | 06:02 |
| cbill | imalamer, lol im an idiot sec | 06:03 |
| ImaLamer | cbill, maybe something graphical such as gparted would help | 06:03 |
| bazhang | gryllida, not without pasting from wikipedia about it. | 06:03 |
| cbill | imalamer, i can see it in gparted but fails to mount | 06:03 |
| ImaLamer | cbill, i have a 3 second memory so i often use gparted to actually 'look at' it | 06:04 |
| cbill | didnt get anything from mount | grep sda1 | 06:04 |
| ImaLamer | cbill, because it sounds like you are trying to mount the entire system again... | 06:04 |
| cbill | imalamer: ya i screwed up before, its sda1 im trying to mount, it is detected in gparted | 06:05 |
| ImaLamer | cbill, so you see it in gparted, but can't mount it to /media/some_folder_you_want_to_mount_to | 06:05 |
| ImaLamer | cbill, hrrrm | 06:06 |
| cbill | imalamer, ya i see it in gparted but not mount | 06:06 |
| cbill | imalamer: do i need to create a mount point perhaps? | 06:07 |
| ImaLamer | cbill, yes, start with a "sudo mkdir /mount/name_of_your_choice | 06:07 |
| ImaLamer | cbill, errr .... /media/name | 06:07 |
| cbill | imalamer: ok done | 06:08 |
| ImaLamer | cbill, then try your mount /dev/sda1 /media/folder_name | 06:08 |
| cbill | imalamer, thanks, all good now :) | 06:09 |
| ImaLamer | cbill, sweet! | 06:09 |
| ImaLamer | because i need to go :) | 06:09 |
| cbill | imalamer, good timing haha | 06:09 |
| elisa87 | E: package dpkg-dev has no installation candidate .... do you know why this error happens? | 06:09 |
| ImaLamer | +1 dkp for me | 06:09 |
| sweetpi | cbill: that wont be mounted when you reboot | 06:10 |
| cbill | imalamer, indeed, im off to wow now lol | 06:10 |
| cbill | sweetpi, np just need to move some data around | 06:10 |
| ImaLamer | cbill, haha me too | 06:10 |
| chalcedony | how long is it supposed to take, showing the Hardware Monitor, before it boots or goes into the bios? | 06:10 |

| cbill | sweetpi, will it show up in places though? | 06:11 |
| ross__ | cbill what is wow now | 06:11 |

| cbill | lol | 06:12 |
| elisa87 | E: package dpkg-dev has no installation candidate .... do you know why this error happens? | 06:12 |
| ImaLamer | it's not a game, it's life | 06:12 |
| sweetpi | cbill: i cant remember, i think anything in /media shows up(i dont really use the gui) | 06:12 |
| cbill | imalamer, pretty much haha | 06:12 |

| sweetpi | because one is ross_ and the other is ross__ (note the 2 underscores) | 06:13 |
| ImaLamer | oh you have two _ | 06:13 |
| ross__ | oh i see | 06:14 |
| ross__ | thank you - and I was getting confused | 06:14 |

| max__ | its some code in terminal its something with nautilus to axess to filsystem | 06:20 |

| Pirate_Hunter | cbill, they dindt ask which ip they wanted and I assumed that is what they wanted | 06:20 |
| KB1JWQ | rocket16: Sure, some. Not all. | 06:20 |
| cbill | pirate_hunter true enough, just pointing it out | 06:20 |

| verbrecher | they compile it for too many CPUs | 06:25 |

| Mqueue | good good mate how r u ? | 06:30 |
| elisa87 | E: package flex has no installation candidate ... whatever I try to install using sudo apt-get has the same problem. does anyone know what to do? | 06:31 |
| SoulDemon | good, just started using linux here in the last week. Still learning...figure i could find some help here | 06:31 |
| KB1JWQ | SoulDemon: What're you stuck on? :-) | 06:31 |
| rocket16 | SoulDemon: Hello and welcome to Ubuntu IRC, :) Hope you'll enjoy here. And thanks for joining, friend, :) | 06:31 |
| Pirate_Hunter | elisa87, are you saying that apt-get doesn't let you install any packages? | 06:32 |
| SoulDemon | well not doing to bad so far, i got aircrack and all that good stuff to work. Just trying to figure out my ip address. | 06:32 |
| verbrecher | Wasnt it possible to dump the kernel configuration from proc or sys? | 06:32 |

| Mqueue | lol | 06:33 |
| elisa87 | pirate_hunter it asks me for the password but it say it has no installation candidate | 06:33 |
| KB1JWQ | SoulDemon: ifconfig from the CLI should tell it to you. | 06:33 |
| Dr_Willis | elisa87: do a 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade' and try 'sudo apt-get install flex' again. | 06:33 |
| Mqueue | if u're i gnome u can check on the top of the wireless conection right click and connection info | 06:34 |
| amyleto | i'm just afer some basic advice here--What program do yall prefer for DVD playback? | 06:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | Mqueue, thanks man! I've never seen that "ip addr" before - very cool. | 06:34 |
| elisa87 | dr_willis is this problem according to the new version of ubuntu 10.04? | 06:34 |
| Dr_Willis | elisa87: i just installed flex fine here. | 06:34 |
| elisa87 | as I didn't have this problem in ubuntu 9.10 | 06:34 |
| elisa87 | ok | 06:34 |
| elisa87 | let me check | 06:34 |
| amyleto | I've been using Totem for a while, but I'm looking to try something different. | 06:34 |
| Dr_Willis | elisa87: when in doubt.. Update, upgrade, try again | 06:34 |

| fade_ | is there anyway I could put it back the inputs I get are completly different | 06:36 |
| SoulDemon | one else is running bt4? | 06:36 |
| SoulDemon | anyone* | 06:36 |
| Mqueue | SoulDemon>> only adobe flash player is slow on linux else is all the same | 06:36 |
| Jordan_U | fade_: What inputs? | 06:36 |
| SoulDemon | well i still running off a live cd atm | 06:37 |
| Jordan_U | !backtrack | SoulDemon | 06:37 |
| ubottu | SoulDemon: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information.

| fade_ | I managed to boot into ubuntu with supergurb | 06:37 |
| Mqueue | SoulDemon>> lol scared to jump ships lol | 06:37 |
| fade_ | and I have a /boot partition | 06:37 |
| fade_ | so when I did mount | tail -1 | 06:37 |
| SoulDemon | yeah, i will have to work on this for a month or two | 06:37 |
| fade_ | I got this gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/fade/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=fade) | 06:38 |
| SoulDemon | i havnt had the internet since i moved into my apt. Thats what got me here | 06:38 |
| rocket16 | SoulDemon: See http://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBcQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.whylinuxisbetter.net%2F&ei=YR4wTIHLE8ircYPIxZ4D&usg=AFQjCNFkFPz1XP0lhJuU2ncyA4Czb0BxYw (This shows Linux > Windows) | 06:39 |
| Mqueue | SoulDemon>> aha...so aircrack helped | 06:39 |
| emilio | hola some latino people | 06:39 |
| seanty | fade_, so are you not seeing /boot when you do a "mount" command? | 06:39 |
| Jordan_U | fade_: Why are you using tail -1? Could you please explain what problem you are having specifically, and on one line so that it's easy to follow? | 06:39 |
| SoulDemon | yup, it took me almost a week to get everything worked out. but as you can see i got it working :) | 06:39 |
| fade_ | I already mounted the /boot partition | 06:39 |
| Mqueue | SoulDemon>> hahaha..nice | 06:40 |
| fade_ | but I don't know where to go from there | 06:40 |
| Mqueue | SoulDemon>> it's a bit frustrating initially then u get use to it..lol | 06:40 |
| opengyan | facing problem in apt get a pkg ....error is ...Failed to fetch ..... Size mismatch | 06:40 |
| SoulDemon | now i trying to figure out what all this other "security" stuff does | 06:40 |
| seanty | fade_, can you please rephrase your question. Are you not able to boot? | 06:41 |
| Mqueue | SoulDemon>> well there are quite a few tools like wireshark, nmap | 06:41 |
| Jordan_U | fade_: If you want to re-install grub to /dev/sda then run "sudo grub-install /dev/sda". Do *not* try to install to a partition like /dev/sda1. | 06:41 |
| SoulDemon | yeah i got wireshark running now, that why i was trying to figure out my ip so i can see my noise | 06:41 |
| timClicks | i have an amd-64, but would like to create a VM via VirtualBox. should I use the i686 or amd64 isos? | 06:41 |
| Jordan_U | fade_: If you don't know what drive to install grub to then just run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc -pcritical" and grub will be re-installed to the drive that it was installed to initially. | 06:41 |
| SoulDemon | what i really want to do next is setup my wireless router as a AP | 06:42 |
| opengyan | should i clean cache ? | 06:42 |
| Dr_Willis | timClicks: to be honest with You. I think ive used both.. Ive never really even thought about that. and i am on a 64bit box and use vmware all the time. | 06:42 |
| Mqueue | SoulDemon>> tor is nice with privoxy to hide your ip..something to play with | 06:42 |
| emilio | algun latino por aqui | 06:43 |
| Dr_Willis | timClicks: vbox may have a setting where it can do either. | 06:43 |
| SoulDemon | whats the name? | 06:43 |
| Mqueue | SoulDemon>> not sure about that...i install dd-wrt on my linksys router | 06:43 |

| rabbit1 | how to convert .vob to mpeg in hardy searched lot of sites, but no result. | 06:44 |
| Jordan_U | fade_: You're welcome. | 06:44 |
| Dr_Willis | rabbit1: ffmpeg, mencoder, or guis to those 2 tools should be able to do it. | 06:44 |
| Dr_Willis | I thought a .vob was some mpeg variant to begin with. | 06:44 |
| fade_ | I'll reboot and see if it stuck | 06:45 |
| brotard | rabbit1, try hardbrake | 06:45 |
| brotard | handbrake | 06:45 |
| brotard | http://handbrake.fr/ | 06:45 |
| rabbit1 | brotard: try ? | 06:45 |
| SoulDemon | dont know if i can run privoxy while on live cd?? | 06:45 |
| Dr_Willis | rabbit1: ffmpeg, mencoder, winff, avideumux, (all in repos) handbrake (not in the repos, last i checked but may have a PPA) | 06:46 |
| Dr_Willis | SoulDemon: would have to install it. and it would install to a ram disk. so that may be an issue | 06:46 |
| emilio | some of you know emulator for linux | 06:46 |
| rabbit1 | Dr_Willis: ffmpeg i am getting corrupt error | 06:46 |
| SoulDemon | yeah running out of RAM | 06:46 |
| Dr_Willis | rabbit1: when in doubt check ffmpeg docs/homepage. Its a complex tool. Or try a front end. mencoder is also handy to use. | 06:46 |
| rabbit1 | brotard: hardbrake is not an option for 8.04 i guess | 06:46 |
| brotard | why not rabbit1? | 06:47 |
| Dr_Willis | rabbit1: 8.04 is a little old.. you may want to update. the video tools have all had lots of updates since 8.04 | 06:47 |
| rabbit1 | Dr_Willis: what about avio converter | 06:47 |
| Mqueue | SoulDemon>> whenever u want i guess | 06:47 |
| rabbit1 | Dr_Willis: i am working on a project, i don't want to mess around atleast for a month | 06:47 |
| brotard | hmm the handbrake ppl dont seem to have tarballs | 06:48 |
| rabbit1 | Dr_Willis: surely, i need an update, should be able to do at the earliest, | 06:48 |
| Dr_Willis | ffmpeg -i snatch_1.vob -f avi -vcodec mpeg4 -b 800k -g 300 -bf 2 -acodec libmp3lame -ab 128k snatch.avi | 06:48 |
| rabbit1 | brotard: http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php (no download for 8.04) | 06:48 |
| Dr_Willis | that works for DECRYPTED vobs - example fry the ffmpeg docs -> http://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-doc.html | 06:48 |
| brotard | lol why u usin 8.04 | 06:48 |
| brotard | and use the thign dr willis said | 06:49 |
| emilio | anyone know free phone call | 06:49 |

| rabbit1 | Dr_Willis: will check out, in ffmpeg i ran "ffmpeg -i VTS_01_0.VOB -target vcd /Desktop/file.mpg" and got result saying "VTS_01_0.VOB: I/O error occured | 06:50 |
| rabbit1 | Usually that means that input file is truncated and/or corrupted." | 06:50 |

| ubottu | VonGuard: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 06:52 |
| Wildweasal | before you do this you must try mplayer dvd://1, mplayer dvd://2, etc | 06:52 |
| Wildweasal | to make sure you get the right track | 06:52 |
| Wildweasal | also when you are finding the right track, use the options: -identify -vf cropdetect | 06:53 |
| rocket16 | Does setting mode in Pidgin have any effect? I mean can the other people view that? And if yes, do they also need to use Pidgin? | 06:53 |
| Wildweasal | -identify will tell you if you have any available subtitles (i hardcoded the subs in the example with "-sid 0") | 06:53 |
| VonGuard | thank you ubottu | 06:53 |

| RJames | Question: Does anyone know if ubuntu 10.04 has a default user/password? I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a USB flash drive and loaded it up.. and I'm at a login screen but don't know how to login. I was not prompted for user/pass creation during install process. | 07:01 |

| RJames | I tired nothing for user/password and it didn't work. | 07:02 |
| Petskull | I think the install *does* ask you for a user and pass | 07:02 |
| RJames | hmm. I followed the steps located here http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download and was never prompted for a user/password | 07:04 |
| Dr_Willis | RJames: The only timve ive seen the live cd ask for a user/pass is when its goofed up. :) try 'ubuntu' with a blank password | 07:04 |
| greezmunkey | RJames: try username ubuntu pword == blank | 07:04 |
| greezmunkey | Hello Dr_Willis | 07:05 |
| Dr_Willis | RJames: how did you 'install' it to the usb? | 07:05 |

| Dr_Willis | rabbit1: weird. | 07:07 |
| rabbit1 | Dr_Willis: yeap | 07:07 |
| RJames | root/root didn't work | 07:08 |
| RJames | ubuntu/blank didn't work | 07:08 |
| rabbit1 | Dr_Willis: may be it din't like the file name with lot of underscores in it ;) | 07:08 |
| RJames | I guess I can try an older iso | 07:08 |
| Dr_Willis | RJames: when we said 'blank' you do realuize we mean no password right? not 'blank' but '' :) | 07:09 |
| Petskull | hey- it that the live CD? | 07:09 |
| Dr_Willis | RJames: if you can get to the console you colud also try setting a password. 'sudo passwd ubuntu' | 07:09 |
| rabbit1 | Dr_Willis: this helped me http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=793120 | 07:09 |

| RJames | since that is the one step I varied from the instructions | 07:12 |
| Dr_Willis | RJames: that basically made a casper-rw file is all it did. | 07:12 |
| Dr_Willis | RJames: what tool did you use? the ubuntu disk-creator tool? | 07:12 |
| RJames | I'm not sure what casper-rw is | 07:12 |
| Dr_Willis | RJames: that IS the persistant save file :) | 07:13 |
| RJames | no it is called the universal usb installer (http://www.pendrivelinux.com/downloads/Universal-USB-Installer/Universal-USB-Installer.exe) | 07:13 |
| Dr_Willis | ever want to move a setup from one pendrive to otehr.. your persistant home is in casper-rw . want to access it from a normal install. mount the casper-rw via the Loop option of mount.. | 07:13 |
| Alejandro89 | Hi !! I need some help. Please! | 07:13 |
| Dr_Willis | RJames: you may want to try unetbootin - it does the basics. | 07:14 |
| undecim | !ask | Alejandro89 | 07:14 |
| ubottu | Alejandro89: 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. :-) | 07:14 |
| Dr_Willis | RJames: it dont do persistant save however. last i checked. but thats easy to add. | 07:14 |
| RJames | you guys are way too smart | 07:14 |
| RJames | :) | 07:14 |
| abhi_nav | yes thats why we use ubuntu. :) | 07:14 |

| RJames | haha.. sorry | 07:15 |
| maxwellian | RJames: I'm barely smart enough, at best. | 07:15 |
| RJames | is unetbootin available for windows? | 07:15 |
| rabbit1 | abhi_nav: do u use ubuntu ? | 07:16 |
| undecim | RJames: Sure is | 07:16 |
| RJames | that's where I'm building my usb drive | 07:16 |
| Alejandro89 | I dont know why, I was using Ubuntu and suddenly its log on (and gets "freeze"). I restarted the pc and it always gets "freeze" after the grub (when the ubuntu logo appears) | 07:16 |

| nOgAnOo | WHEEEEEEEEEW | 07:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Alejandro89: really shouldent be any differances. startx can read/use some different config files .Xstartup or .xinitrc so it could start up a different desktop if you set it up that way | 07:22 |

| maxwellian | Alejandro89: So if you just start up normally, the Ubuntu logo comes on, and it just sits there? The login screen never comes up? | 07:27 |
| RocketLauncher | sup qb | 07:29 |
| Alejandro89 | maxwellian: I have only one user and it logs automatically (when Ubuntu works fine). But now, it gets stuck in the Ubuntu loading screen. | 07:29 |
| RJames_ | little connection mishap: I'll repeat my question since I may have missed any responses. Isn't there a key-combo to exit the gui and bring up a console? | 07:30 |
| RocketLauncher | hey qb can I use Unetbootin on my second hard drive so i can boot Ubuntu livecd from it and install it on the same hard drive it's booting from | 07:30 |
| maxwellian | Alejandro89: What happened right before it stopped working? Did you install something, uninstall something? | 07:30 |
| RocketLauncher | kthx qb | 07:30 |
| Dr_Willis | RJames_: alt-ctrl-f1 through f6 will go to the console. but not close X. | 07:30 |
| etrisnanto | hi... | 07:30 |
| Dr_Willis | RJames_: alt-ctrl-F7 should go back to X. simetimes its F8 or F9 | 07:30 |
| etrisnanto | ok understood,...tks | 07:31 |
| Ego_Proctor | if I want to run a BASH script on startup were should I call it from? | 07:32 |
| Alejandro89 | maxwellian: I was installing the "xbmc Media Center" from the "Software Center" of Ubuntu. | 07:32 |
| Dr_Willis | Ego_Proctor: depends on what its doing. | 07:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Ego_Proctor: and what you mean by 'startup' - boot up? user log in time? | 07:33 |
| Ego_Proctor | Dr_Willis I am having issues with my sound. It starts muted, but the system thinks it is unmuted and on full. | 07:34 |
| Ego_Proctor | This happens both at startup and log in | 07:34 |
| RJames_ | ctrl-alt-f7 took me back.... | 07:35 |
| RJames_ | and I want to take this time to say thanks to all you question answer'ers | 07:35 |
| RJames_ | i <3 you | 07:35 |
| Ego_Proctor | Dr_Willis I am hoping that a script that calls alsa set Master mute and then alsa set Master 100% will fix it, but I need to take affect at start. | 07:35 |
| codebrainz | less than three!? | 07:35 |
| RJames_ | that is one interpretaion.. yese | 07:36 |
| Ego_Proctor | Dr_Willis, and at and change in session and login | 07:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Ego_Proctor: make a script in the users bin dir. make it get launched by the system->perferances -> startup applications and see. | 07:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Ego_Proctor: test it with just a script first perhaps. | 07:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive notived that the volume mixer app sais mine is muted now. even tho its not. :) the icon is wrong. | 07:37 |
| Alejandro89 | maxwellian: In one of the tries to enter Ubuntu, I could read the following message: "Fatal server error: no screens found" | 07:37 |
| maxwellian | Alejandro89: This is after trying 'startx'? | 07:37 |
| toshiuba | try the safemodle | 07:38 |
| iman | where is apache cgi-bin in ubuntu to run perl in web ? | 07:38 |
| codebrainz | Dr_Willis, the whole sound system is wrong :) | 07:38 |
| Dr_Willis | codebrainz: i rarely have any issues. | 07:39 |
| codebrainz | iman, /usr/lib/cgi-bin, if that's what you mean | 07:39 |
| codebrainz | Dr_Willis, you are lucky then :) | 07:39 |
| Ego_Proctor | Dr_Willis, I am not running gnome by default, I am running openbox, so is there a way to test it in openbox or should I just go back to gnome and test it there? | 07:40 |
| iman | codebrainz: yeah i think so | 07:40 |
| Ego_Proctor | Dr_Willis, er I know there is a way to test it in openbox, but will it be easier to test it in gnome..? | 07:40 |
| Alejandro89 | maxwellian: No, it was when I tried to enter in the "fails-test mode" and selected in the list "fails-test mode" (or similar) again. Then, I choose "Normal mode" in that list and it allows me to write in the terminal. I write "startx" and Ubuntu starts perfect. | 07:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Ego_Proctor: make a launcher/menu item that runs the script | 07:41 |
| maxwellian | Alejandro89: Okay, I've never had this issue, but my understanding is that you should not have to run 'startx' yourself. | 07:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Ego_Proctor: or use the terminal | 07:41 |
| Ego_Proctor | Dr_Willis, someone in the #alsa channel told me to play with /etc/init.d/rc.local is that advised? | 07:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Ego_Proctor: you can put the script/commands in there also. but thats system wide. and may or may not work | 07:42 |
| Ego_Proctor | Dr_Willis, I have tested it to make sure it works, I just need it to do so at login... | 07:42 |
| codebrainz | maxwellian, if you use a DM like gdm or kdm, otherwise you need to startx yourself | 07:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Ego_Proctor: the alsa service stuff should save/restore that. | 07:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Ego_Proctor: try it in rc.local and see. | 07:42 |
| codebrainz | Ego_Proctor, add it to your ~/.xinitrc file | 07:42 |
| maxwellian | codebrainz: So you log in through the terminal, and then run startx, and that will get your desktop environment going? | 07:42 |
| Ego_Proctor | Dr_Willis, ok, I just saw that it was a very sparce file and didn't want to F it up | 07:42 |
| codebrainz | maxwellian, correct | 07:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Ego_Proctor: how are you launching openbox anyway? via startx? or gdm? | 07:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Ego_Proctor: rc.local does nothing by default. :) | 07:43 |
| maxwellian | codebrainz: Neat. I thought startx was only for the X Server, but I guess not. | 07:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Ego_Proctor: it 'exits':) put commands befor the exit command | 07:43 |
| codebrainz | maxwellian, it runs your .xinitrc and some other files that get the WM up and running | 07:43 |
| Alejandro89 | maxwellian, codebrainz: I agree with you. I have installed Ubuntu normally (I think that gdm was installed). | 07:43 |
| Dr_Willis | I was thinking 'startx' now looks for .Xsession and somthing else befor it looks for .xinitrc these days on ubuntu | 07:43 |
| zus | i can not seem to get the facebook chat going in empathy? | 07:43 |

| Dr_Willis | Rp3: screw the MB and parts to some plywood and wallmount it. :) | 07:45 |

I live in a non English speaking country so whenever I go to google, facebook etc, or recently when using Gwibber it dosen't load in English. I assume it's because of my IP, how can I change this so English is default all over my system? | 07:53 |

| etrisnanto | hello | 07:54 |
| maxwellian | abuayyoub: You'd have to use a proxy, I think. | 07:54 |
| Ego_Proctor | Rp3, hey winblows adds a great deal to the US economy, without it here would be no great need for virus scanners, Geeks squad, armies of MS network admins, and who knows how many other jobs that have been created to prop up that great diseased whale of an operating system | 07:54 |
| maxwellian | abuayyoub: If they are switching on your IP. | 07:54 |
| codebrainz | Alejandro89, you can try to dpkg-reconfigure gdm, failing that you could try apt-get --reinstall --purge install gdm. some things to try | 07:55 |
| abuayyoub | maxwellian: well, the IP is of my host country, which is not english.So when I load Facebook in Gwibber for example its in another language. | 07:55 |

| `Gumby | hi all. Im trying to get my Alps touchpad working on my Sony Vaio. I cant seem to figure out how to get it to work. Read quite a few forums posts but most seem to be for other models. Anyone have any suggestions? | 07:55 |
| asianmale | abuayyoub: your fault for speaking a stupid language i guess | 07:55 |
| codebrainz | abuayyoub, i think you'll need to use a proxy server | 07:55 |
| Alejandro89 | maxwellian: Yes. I didnt know anything like "startx" two hours ago. I have this problem and then, put the live cd and start searching in the internet. Now, I can start ubuntu but only with the "startx" command. | 07:55 |
| asianmale | abuayyoub: non-english countries suck | 07:55 |
| blaze|| | hello is it possible to have windows boot up by default on a dual boot with ubuntu and windows | 07:55 |
| maxwellian | abuayyoub: Exactly, so if you were using an http proxy located in the US, they would think you were there. | 07:55 |
| abuayyoub | asianmale: lol | 07:56 |
| quentin | hi. I need help with xorg.conf. I chose to enable the nvidia driver and now it's not recognizing my monitor. Before I have been told to delete xorg.conf when this happens and it worked. This time I deleted it and now things are worse. Nothing loads. | 07:56 |
| `Gumby | quentin: do you have console access? | 07:56 |
| codebrainz | `Gumby, my vaio has alps *i think* and it works ok. not that that helps :) | 07:56 |
| abuayyoub | maxwellian: I understand, but do i really need to go threw all that just to change my language settings? | 07:56 |
| asianmale | abuayyoub: lol all you want fuck-pig. Im serious...deadly serious. (yes that's a threat of violence) | 07:56 |
| maxwellian | abuayyoub: They're not your language settings. | 07:56 |
| `Gumby | codebrainz, yeah, lol. there are issues with the newer models, specifically the F series | 07:57 |
| toshiuba | you can use a poxy | 07:57 |

| toshiuba | proxy | 07:57 |
| quentin | `Gumby: I had a blinking cursor, but I couldn't type anything. Right now I'm using the install disk live to talk in here. | 07:57 |
| Alejandro89 | codebrainz, maxwellian: I tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" and the output was (translated): /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: gdm is broken or it is not tottally installed | 07:58 |
| Flannel | asianmale: Stop, now. | 07:58 |
| codebrainz | abuayyoub, i think there's a way to flag the ops. anyway, use something like TOR or a proxy server in another country | 07:58 |
| maxwellian | Alejandro89: Oh, good. That's probably the issue then. :) | 07:58 |
| abuayyoub | asianmale is a troll can someone ban him please? | 07:58 |
| codebrainz | Alejandro89, do the second command i said | 07:58 |
| codebrainz | whats the ubottu thing for ops | 07:58 |
| `Gumby | quentin: ah, your best bet is to chroot then and run nvidia-xconfig | 07:58 |
| abuayyoub | codebrainz: yea, I dont have a problem with proxys its jsut that I assumed it would be easier than having to do all that. | 07:59 |
| abuayyoub | thanks anyhow | 07:59 |
| maxwellian | abuayyoub: If you understand the cause, then you know it can't be easier than that. :) | 07:59 |
| Alejandro89 | codebrainz: Sorry for the ignorance. The command is: "apt-get --reinstall --purge" and then "install gdm" or "apt-get --reinstall --purge install gdm"? | 07:59 |
| codebrainz | abuayyoub, i think that's the only way, because the sites will always see your remote address | 07:59 |
| `Gumby | quentin: actually... you probably dont even need to chroot.. install the nvidia drivers via the livecd, run nvidia-xconfig and then copy the xorg.conf it creates to your root partition after mounting it | 07:59 |
| swordfish_ | any one tell me what is TOR? | 07:59 |
| toshiuba | where you see it? | 08:00 |
| codebrainz | Alejandro89, apt-get --reinstall --purge install gdm | 08:00 |
| maxwellian | Alejandro89: Don't worry, you're doing great. :) | 08:00 |
| codebrainz | Alejandro89, should totally remove and then reinstall gdm from scratch | 08:00 |
| === PHANTOM is now known as Guest60332 | ||
| tsooi | I believe TOR is a limited anonymizer of sorts, works inside TOR networks but not at the edge or outside it | 08:00 |
| quentin | `Gumby: Ok. I'm gonna try it. | 08:00 |
| `Gumby | quentin: you know how to do all that? | 08:00 |
| quentin | `Gumby: I'm not so good with the command line. I might be able to just use synaptic to get the driver installed. | 08:02 |
| `Gumby | quentin: yeah, thats the easy part ;) | 08:02 |
| Alejandro89 | maxwellian, codebrainz: The output its very long, but It says that "xbmc-live" have errors !! It should be deleted from the "Software Center". Have to do a reboot? | 08:03 |
| abhi_nav | swordfish_, http://www.torproject.org/ | 08:03 |
| `Gumby | you're better off opening the "Hardware Drivers" though | 08:03 |
| swordfish_ | thankyou | 08:03 |
| codebrainz | Alejandro89, sudo reboot (but I'd remove that package while you're in there) | 08:03 |
| quentin | `Gumby: which version of nvidia should I install. when things got messed up earlier I had installed nvidia-current. | 08:03 |
| Alejandro89 | codebrainz: I dont understand "but I'd remove that package while you're in there". Can you re-write it in a different way? | 08:05 |
| codebrainz | quentin, i think there's a Jocket utility for text-mode 'jockey-text' probably | 08:05 |
| maxwellian | Alejandro89: 'sudo apt-get remove --purge xbmc-live' | 08:05 |
| codebrainz | Alejandro89, sure, apt-get remove --purge xbmc-live | 08:05 |
| codebrainz | heh | 08:05 |
| `Gumby | quentin: can you mount your root partition? | 08:05 |
| maxwellian | codebrainz: Actually, do you think he should purge? | 08:05 |
| codebrainz | maxwellian, sure, why not, if it doesn't work anyway :) | 08:06 |
| Alejandro89 | maxwellian, codebrainz: Ok, done! Then, sudo reboot. | 08:06 |
| quentin | codebrainz: how would I use 'jocky-text' | 08:06 |
| maxwellian | codebrainz: Well I'm just hoping something went wrong during the install. | 08:06 |
| Zeu5 | hi there, how do i create a launcher such that when i click on it, it runs the terminal window and navigates to a particular directory and does a "ls -la" WITHOUT closing the terminal window? i googled abit, but all i get are links telling me how to create keyboard shortcuts for terminal. that is NOT wat i want. | 08:06 |
| maxwellian | Alejandro89: Yup, good luck! | 08:06 |
| codebrainz | quentin, i've not used it, but it should be a friendly way to install the binary drivers | 08:06 |
| quentin | `Gumby: I ran nautilus in root to get to the xorg.conf. that's how I deleted it. | 08:07 |
| codebrainz | maxwellian, nothing an apt-get -f install can't fix :) | 08:07 |
| maxwellian | codebrainz: Heh. :) | 08:07 |
| maxwellian | codebrainz: I've never used that option, hopefully never will. | 08:07 |
| codebrainz | quentin, i think dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will re-generate a clean xorg.conf file | 08:07 |
| maxwellian | codebrainz: APT dependency resolution is black magic to me. | 08:08 |
| codebrainz | maxwellian, my understanding is it's just the text-mode version of the proprietary drivers thing in gnome (jocket-gtk) | 08:08 |
| `Gumby | quentin: if you have an xorg.conf in /etc/X11 on your root partition you can change Driver "nvidia" to Driver "nv" and X will probably work | 08:08 |
| codebrainz | maxwellian, oops, i misunderstood | 08:08 |
| `Gumby | codebrainz: he'll have to chroot to do that | 08:08 |
| codebrainz | maxwellian, it just fixes broken dependencies afaik | 08:08 |
| `Gumby | codebrainz: or copy what it gives him to his root drive | 08:08 |
| swordfish_ | hi i have something to share open prompt and type yes | 08:08 |
| maxwellian | codebrainz: If it says, "Sorry, I can't do that Dave.", I say, "No problem, don't worry." and back away slowly. | 08:09 |
| `Gumby | why not just edit the existing xorg.conf | 08:09 |
| codebrainz | `Gumby, he deleted it afaik | 08:09 |
| `Gumby | yeah I see that now | 08:09 |
| `Gumby | nvidia-xconfig would be a better option I think | 08:09 |
| `Gumby | but, both will work | 08:09 |
| codebrainz | maxwellian, just give it the daily sacrificial lamb and you're cool | 08:09 |
| `Gumby | if X is simply the desired result | 08:10 |
| * maxwellian snaps his fingers, "I knew I was forgetting something!" | 08:10 | |
| codebrainz | `Gumby, assuming access to Xorg | 08:10 |
| maxwellian | Alejandro89: How'd it go? | 08:10 |
| `Gumby | yeah, he'll need to mount the root partition | 08:10 |
| Alejandro89 | maxwellian, codebrainz: Mmm...It didnt works. | 08:10 |
| codebrainz | `Gumby, i wasn't paying close attention, i though he could boot into text-mode on his main install :) | 08:11 |
| maxwellian | Alejandro89: What happened this time? Same exact thing as before? | 08:11 |
| maxwellian | Alejandro89: Any difference is important. | 08:11 |
| `Gumby | he said he got nothing but a bliking cursor but could probably get there via recovery, but.. if he is already in a livecd, why not just mount his root partition and create a new xorg.conf | 08:12 |

| Dr_Willis | mik__: install 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' and i think that will pull in java and some otehr parts you proberly want | 08:14 |
| Guest90503 | hmm | 08:14 |
| quentin | `Gumby: and codebrainz: I did the reconfigure in the terminal. I now have a new xorg.conf and the driver says "vesa" | 08:14 |
| mneptok | Compiling: a swap partition is not requisite during an Ubuntu installation. | 08:14 |
| Compiling | sun-java6-jre and icedtea is what youre probably looking for | 08:14 |
| codebrainz | maxwellian, something with the X/gfx not working, Alejandro89 mentioned an X error, right? | 08:15 |
| Dr_Willis | quentin: vesa is the very bottom of the line failsafe driver. :) | 08:15 |
| `Gumby | quentin: so you know how to mount your root partition? | 08:15 |
| Alejandro89 | maxwellian, codebrainz: While everything works okay, the ubuntu logo appears (for 3 seconds aprox) and then Ubuntu log in. Now, the logo screens appeared and blinked one time and then gets stucked. | 08:15 |
| `Gumby | so/do | 08:15 |
| maxwellian | Alejandro89: Oh sorry, I misread your first thing about gfx. | 08:15 |
| codebrainz | maxwellian, Alejandro89 but X does work, so it's weird | 08:15 |
| maxwellian | Alejandro89: Sorry, meant to direct that to codebrainz. | 08:15 |
| mik__ | tanks willis, i try..... | 08:15 |
| quentin | `Gumby: I guess. I just used sudo nautilus and went from there. | 08:15 |
| codebrainz | Alejandro89, the only thing i can suggest is to apt-get remove --purge gdm && apt-get install kdm | 08:16 |
| codebrainz | Alejandro89, it's not really a fix though | 08:16 |
| `Gumby | quentin: ok, so you have no problem taking the xorg.conf from the livecd and putting it in your root etc/X11/ then? | 08:16 |
| maxwellian | Alejandro89: Just hang on a sec, let me poke around my own config files. | 08:16 |
| `Gumby | quentin: edit the file and change vesa to nv | 08:16 |
| quentin | Dr_Willis: I tried using the nvidia driver and it wouldn't recognize my monitor. | 08:17 |
| RJames_ | ok.. trying unetbootin to build my USB drive.... using ubuntu-10.04-netbook-i386.iso. We'll see how this goes. | 08:17 |

| Guest90503 | ^Jay2^:why | 08:18 |
| Alejandro89 | maxwellian, codebrainz: I did again now: "apt-get --reinstall --purge install gdm" and it do some things. No more the error message. | 08:18 |
| `Gumby | quentin: good luck!! should work no problem | 08:18 |
| ^Jay2^ | Guest90503: my broadcom sta drivers stopped working with the new kernel | 08:18 |
| maxwellian | Alejandro89: Ohhhh...it needed us to remove the other package before it could do a proper reinstall of gdm, maybe. | 08:18 |
| maxwellian | Alejandro89: Try a reboot now, see if that helped. | 08:19 |
| Guest90503 | ^Jay2^: what is sta | 08:19 |
| quentin | codebrainz: I used the Hardware Drivers selection under System->Administration | 08:19 |

| Dr_Willis | wireless for my last 3 laptops - just 'worked' on 10.10 :) less hassles then i had in windows.. | 08:25 |
| Zeu5 | Dr_Willis: i did exactly as you said. the launcher is open as applicatin or application in terminal? | 08:25 |
| alteregoa | darmok and jalad at tanagra! | 08:25 |
| codebrainz | Alejandro89, glad to hear it | 08:25 |
| maxwellian | Alejandro89: Glad it worked! :) I guess you should stay away from the media center thing for now... :) | 08:25 |
| gryllida | opij: like... IDE | 08:26 |
| gryllida | ? | 08:26 |
| Dr_Willis | Zeu5: open in terminal, would skip the xterm -e step.. try them both and see how they work. | 08:26 |
| maxwellian | Alejandro89: Although it might be a good idea to file a bug report. | 08:26 |
| dugger5688 | Who was it that wanted to upgrade to 10.10? | 08:26 |
| maxwellian | dugger5688: No one, but how do you do it, dugger5688? | 08:26 |
| dugger5688 | http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/how-to-upgrade-to-ubuntu-1010-maverick.html | 08:26 |
| Dr_Willis | Zeu5: i tend to use the xterm -bg red -fg blue -e whatever,. all the time so i can have differnt apps start up in differnt color xterms. | 08:26 |
| dugger5688 | But I wouldn't... | 08:26 |
| RJames_ | after using unetbootin and trying to load ubuntu that way... now I'm getting tons of errors on the console (SQUASHFS error: unable to read page cache xxxxx). That mean I have a bad USB drive? | 08:26 |
| Dr_Willis | RJames_: or a bad iso file. | 08:27 |
| Dr_Willis | RJames_: or perjhaps bad ram? that would be wweird | 08:27 |
| RJames_ | grrr. | 08:27 |
| hahah | i have a doubt...if ubuntu keep giving a distro every 6months...i keep on hopping on the ditro...all the exiting programs are lost...is there a way to retain in new dist | 08:27 |
| abhi_nav | opij, if you are talking about ide i.e. itentegrated development environement then e.g. ecipse see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_development_environment | 08:27 |
| prince_jammys | Zeu5: xterm -e bash -c 'cd particular_directory && ls -la; exec bash' | 08:27 |
| Alejandro89 | maxwellian: How can I do that? | 08:27 |
| Dr_Willis | hahah: you can clone your list of installed apps.. and reisntall them | 08:27 |
| Dr_Willis | !clone | hahah | 08:27 |
| ubottu | hahah: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 08:27 |
| codebrainz | RJames_, I'd check the md5 of your ISO | 08:27 |
| RJames_ | kk | 08:28 |
| prince_jammys | Zeu5: or whatever terminal you like to use, with its appropriate -e flag. | 08:28 |
| alteregoa | darmok and jalad at tanagra | 08:28 |
| hahah | THanks Dr_Willis will try..will it reatin my installed app in karmic to lucid | 08:28 |
| gryllida | alteregoa: ? | 08:28 |
| hahah | am gonna upgrade | 08:28 |
| alteregoa | his arms wide | 08:28 |
| hahah | *retain | 08:28 |
| maxwellian | hahah: It will remove things that are no longer supported. | 08:29 |
| gryllida | alteregoa: whose? | 08:29 |
| maxwellian | hahah: I believe. | 08:29 |
| alteregoa | darmok | 08:29 |
| Zeu5 | prince_jammys: thank you. you gave me a very simple solution. appreciate it. | 08:29 |
| maxwellian | hahah: But that's not usually a problem. | 08:29 |
| gryllida | alteregoa: who's darmok? | 08:29 |
| Zeu5 | Dr_Willis: thank you | 08:29 |
| prince_jammys | Zeu5: welcome. | 08:29 |
| Dr_Willis | hahah: it will 'reinstall' the apps you had installed befor. | 08:29 |
| hahah | will that download stuf | 08:29 |
| maxwellian | Alejandro89: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs | 08:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Zeu5: if you want xterm to stay open at a terminal priompt use that exec bash trick showed by prince_jammys , if you want it to 'close' when you hit enter use 'read foo' | 08:30 |
| abhi_nav | hey while trying to install google desktop i get this error: Failed to run gdebi-gtk '--non-interactive' '/home/abhijit/Softwares/google-desktop-linux_current_amd64.deb' as user root | 08:30 |
| Dr_Willis | hahah: it will REINSTALL THE APPS.. so Yes. | 08:30 |
| abhi_nav | any sulutino guys | 08:30 |
| Dr_Willis | hahah: you are saving a LIST of what you had installed... | 08:30 |
| abhi_nav | ohhhh osryy soryy i got it sorry | 08:31 |
| Dr_Willis | abhi_nav: try 'sudo gdebi /home/abhijit/Softwares/google-desktop-linux_current_amd64.deb' | 08:31 |
| Alejandro89 | maxwellian: Ok, I wiil do it. | 08:31 |
| Alejandro89 | maxwellian, codebrainz: Thanks again, what you do is very useful. Good bye ! | 08:31 |
| alteregoa | shaka when the walls fell | 08:31 |
| maxwellian | Alejandro89: Thanks, bye! | 08:31 |
| quentin | I am back. My monitor is now recognized but I can't change the resolution. much of the interface is off screen so I'll probably have to change the res | 08:31 |
| hahah | is there a way to convert 32bit iso to 64bit iso...ie x64 version from x32 | 08:31 |
| codebrainz | quentin, are you using the proprietary drivers now? | 08:31 |
| maxwellian | Alejandro89: Actually, now that you know how to fix it, you should try the media thing again. | 08:31 |
| Dr_Willis | hahah: No. You dont convert 32bit to 64 or visa versa | 08:32 |
| maxwellian | Alejandro89: To see if it happens again. | 08:32 |
| RJames_ | ok.. this is embarrasing, but I don't know where to find the md5 value for my iso. Is it inside the ISO itself? I don't see it on the download page. | 08:32 |
| maxwellian | Alejandro89: No point filing a bug if it was not really a bug, but something that just got goofed when you installed the media thing. | 08:32 |
| codebrainz | maxwellian, or just use MythTV :) | 08:32 |
| Dr_Willis | RJames_: theres a md5 file on the servers somewhere with a list of them all. | 08:32 |
| alteregoa | darmok and jalad at tanagra | 08:32 |
| hahah | no i mean ...i have lucid desktop x32 iso file...is there any trick to change it to x6 | 08:32 |
| RJames_ | hmm | 08:32 |
| Dargon | when i set up a virtual server in apache, its setting that document root for all the servers, input? | 08:32 |
| maxwellian | codebrainz: Heh, or that. :) As far as gadgets and hooking up doohickeys goes, I'm clueless. | 08:33 |
| Sego | Rjames: don't be embarresed, we are learning by watching too :) | 08:33 |
| codebrainz | RJames_, paste the link where you downloaded the iso and we'll find you the md5 if it's there | 08:33 |
| * Petskull learns by watching porn | 08:33 | |
| Alejandro89 | maxwellian: But, the xmbc works perfectly. I have installed it some weeks ago. Today, I see the "xbmc live package" and tried to install it. Then, the bug appeared. | 08:33 |
| quentin | codebrainz: I am using the nv which I assume is nvidia. Only thing is, when I go to the nvidia config tool It tells me I don't appear to be using the nvidia-x-driver | 08:34 |
| hahah | and 32bit lucid shows only 2.9gb ram :( | 08:34 |
| RJames_ | http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download | 08:34 |
| maxwellian | Alejandro89: Right, so before you submit a bug, I would try the process again. | 08:34 |
| Dr_Willis | hahah: and how much ram do you have exactly? | 08:34 |
| codebrainz | quentin, i think you're using the open source one | 08:34 |
| Dargon | anyone able to help me with an apache problem? | 08:34 |
| `Gumby | quentin: you are using the nv driver which is the open source driver, not the nvidia binary driver | 08:34 |
| prince_jammys | quentin: nv is an open source driver. you want the one called 'nvidia' | 08:34 |
| hahah | 4gb | 08:34 |
| maxwellian | Alejandro89: The first thing the developers are going to try to do is reproduce it, and if it can't be reproduced, it's not going to get much attention. | 08:34 |
| maxwellian | Dargon: How did you install apache? | 08:35 |
| Dargon | apt-get | 08:35 |
| `Gumby | quentin: I am willing to guess that the nvidia driver isnt recognizing the EDID of your monitor and X isnt starting properly | 08:35 |
| Dr_Willis | hahah: with exactly 4 gb. there is some lost due to hardware/video/issues. but 1.1 gb seems a little high - unless your video card is taking a lot of it | 08:35 |
| Dr_Willis | hahah: try a 64bit live cd. and see what it 'sees' | 08:35 |
| Dr_Willis | hahah: if you ah ce a 64bit capable cpu. I would suggest using 64bit anyway | 08:35 |
| hahah | i hear 32bit cannot address more than 3gb | 08:35 |
| alteregoa | darmok and jalad at tanagra! | 08:35 |
| Dargon | maxwellian, apt-get install apache-mpm-prefork | 08:36 |
| maxwellian | Dargon: Have you set up a site, i.e., you have something in sites-enabled? | 08:36 |
| quentin | `Gumby: yes. it has recognized it before, but I have installed lucid lynx and now it doesn't | 08:36 |
| hahah | then can i install 32bit deb packages | 08:36 |
| RJames_ | looks like when I hit the download button.. it actually redirects to a random mirror | 08:36 |
| Dargon | maxwellian, no, im using apache2.conf for everything | 08:36 |
| Dr_Willis | hahah: 32bit has max ram limitations - yes. but its 4gb limit I think. and there are other things to watch out for. | 08:36 |
| iflema | RJames_ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes | 08:36 |
| Dr_Willis | hahah: ive rarely see things taht are '32bit' only these days. | 08:36 |
| RJames_ | cool! thanks iflema. | 08:37 |
| Dargon | maxwellian, is that my problem? | 08:37 |
| maxwellian | Dargon: I'm sure there's a good reason to have config files split up, but I guess it's your call. :) | 08:37 |
| nomad77 | hahah: install the server kernel maybe | 08:37 |
| === unixlike is now known as back | ||
| maxwellian | Dargon: Anyway, you have a DocRoot? | 08:37 |
| Dargon | yes | 08:37 |
| codebrainz | iflema, good find :) | 08:37 |
| Dargon | maxwellian, yes | 08:37 |
| Alejandro89 | maxwellian: Ok, I will re do it. It will reboot the computer by force like the last time. But I will write down the process to solve it. Bye ! | 08:37 |
| Dr_Willis | 64bit kernel/system has better performacen then a 32bit system + pae kernel. from what ive read. | 08:37 |
| maxwellian | Alejandro89: Thanks, that's great! Later! | 08:38 |
| === back is now known as unixlike | ||
| quentin | codebrainz, prince_jammys: installing the proprietary drivers is what got me here with no monitor recognition. now with the open source one my resolution is so huge a good portion of interface is off screen. | 08:38 |
| maxwellian | Dargon: Okay, so what's your question? You can set up your cgi-bin wherever you want, but it's usually just below the DocRoot. | 08:38 |
| hahah | which filesystem is better ext3 or ext4 | 08:38 |
| Dr_Willis | hahah: whjen in doubt. use the defaults.. | 08:39 |
| gryllida | ext4 | 08:39 |
| Dr_Willis | hahah: and ext4 is the default now | 08:39 |
| gryllida | ext4 is newer version | 08:39 |
| prince_jammys | !resolution | quentin | 08:39 |
| ubottu | quentin: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 08:39 |
| hahah | so i have to use a / of ext4 | 08:39 |
| hahah | for lucid | 08:39 |
| Dr_Willis | hahah: you dont HAVE to.. but its the default. | 08:39 |
| Dr_Willis | hahah: do you ahve a reason to use ext3 ? | 08:39 |
| === devunt_ is now known as devunt | ||
| hahah | i dont have etx3 | 08:39 |
| hahah | i dont have ext4 | 08:40 |
| Dr_Willis | hahah: you are not making any sence. | 08:40 |
| hahah | i have to create in the partitioner | 08:40 |
| maxwellian | Is anyone else seeing a '?' in ubottu's factoid up there? | 08:40 |
| hahah | sry | 08:40 |
| Dr_Willis | hahah: so make a partition, tell it to be ext4 | 08:40 |
| nomad77 | quentin: if all else fails,try this as a last resort http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/guerrilla-tactics-force-screen-mode-ubuntu | 08:40 |
| Dr_Willis | hahah: or let it auto partition and not worry about it | 08:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | maxwell_, gdm kdm | 08:40 |
| hahah | i have ext3 which has karmic | 08:40 |
| Dargon | maxwellian, the question is, www.aftermathzone.com goes to /home/amz/public_html and i want images.aftermathzone.com to go to ~/public_html/images, but when i set the virtual server, it pushes the www. to the images directory also | 08:40 |
| gryllida | maxwellian: indeed I do see that question maek | 08:40 |
| iflema | RJames_ codebrainz there should also be an md5sum hash in the directory the iso came from | 08:40 |
| shiba | boo | 08:40 |
| prince_jammys | maxwellian: the "smart quotes" may be doing that in your terminal/client | 08:40 |
| hahah | i have to make it ext4 | 08:41 |
| Dr_Willis | hahah: so you are eraseing the old ubuntu? | 08:41 |
| gryllida | mark* | 08:41 |
| hahah | ya | 08:41 |
| maxwellian | ZykoticK9: Oh, okay, but that's kind of confusing to a new user...? | 08:41 |
| Dr_Willis | hahah: then tell it to delete the partition, remake it,. tell it to be ext4 or somtjhing like that. | 08:41 |
| hahah | k | 08:41 |
| prince_jammys | maxwellian: ah, no, sorry, you meant the ?dm. that's intentional | 08:41 |
| maxwellian | prince_jammys: I get the smart quotes, but I think ZykoticK9 has it right, that that's supposed to be replaced by a 'g' or a 'k' depending on your environment. | 08:41 |
| Dr_Willis | hahah: or delete all the partitions so you have a lot of unallocated space.. restart the insatller (or use the back button) and let it auto-partition the unallocated space | 08:42 |
| codebrainz | iflema, heh, good luck finding the dir with these fancy ubuntu webpages :) | 08:42 |
| quentin | ubuttu: oh crap. I was hoping I wouldn't have to do all that. That's what I went throught before karmic. with karmic the nvidia driver detected my monitor fine. I could even edit my resolution in the regular "Monitor" editor | 08:42 |
| Petskull | heh- wow, that's just a *mine* for newbies! | 08:42 |
| maxwellian | Petskull: Right? | 08:42 |
| Petskull | it's like it's intentional | 08:42 |
| gryllida | Hmm. I had 2 kernel updates, now have 3 lines in Grub -- original, first updated, second updated. Is this ok? | 08:42 |
| prince_jammys | maxwellian: yeah, it's a glob that assumes that gdm/kdm/xdm/single_letter_dm is installed and at /etc/init.d | 08:42 |
| hahah | gryllida: use # to hide unwanted | 08:42 |
| codebrainz | gryllida, not only is it ok, it's really useful :) | 08:43 |
| iflema | codebrainz like this one? http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ ;) | 08:43 |
| * Petskull writes a system-wipe utility named '?dm' | 08:43 | |
| Dr_Willis | gryllida: it dosent hurt to have some backup kernels. | 08:43 |
| maxwellian | prince_jammys: Oh, duh...that will actually work in the shell. | 08:43 |
| Petskull | "It's safe, man- the BOT said so!" | 08:43 |
| Dargon | maxwellian, using sites-enabled i get apache2: Syntax error on line 238 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default: No such file or directory | 08:43 |
| codebrainz | iflema, heh, that's where i was heading when you posted the other link :) | 08:43 |
| maxwellian | prince_jammys: I've never used the question mark glob, so it freaked me out. :) | 08:43 |
| Jordan_U | Petskull: Never trust robots. | 08:43 |
| Dr_Willis | maxwellian: ? = regular expression for a single character. :) ?dm can match gdm or kdm. and cause some issues :) | 08:43 |
| prince_jammys | maxwellian: it won't restart X if you don't have a graphical login, though :) | 08:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | maxwellian, prince_jammys technically even the /etc/init.d part is outdated. "sudo service ?dm restart" | 08:44 |
| Dr_Willis | maxwellian: that factoid has had that annoyance for ages. :) | 08:44 |
| Dr_Willis | ZykoticK9: and if you have KDM and GDM both installed.. its even more wrong. :) | 08:44 |
| RJames_ | well, the ISO checksum passed | 08:44 |
| Jordan_U | ZykoticK9: Except the '?dm' won't work in that context. | 08:44 |
| alteregoa | Dr_Willis: are you afraid of megaman? | 08:44 |
| codebrainz | Dargon, what does 'ls /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default' say? | 08:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | Dr_Willis, good point! | 08:44 |
| maxwellian | Dr_Willis: Oh man, what would it do then?? | 08:44 |
| hahah | what programming language is used to write linux kernel ,gnome,and the apps?is it only c++ | 08:44 |
| hahah | wt compiler used | 08:45 |
| maxwellian | hahah: C, gcc | 08:45 |
| codebrainz | hahah, c, gcc | 08:45 |
| RJames_ | so Either that distro just doesn't work for my netbook, or my netbook has hardware issues.. or my usb drive does... or .. or ..oorrr <BOOM> | 08:45 |
| im63kg | hahah: c | 08:45 |
| codebrainz | heh | 08:45 |
| Dr_Willis | maxwellian: it just failed totally with some odd message last i tried it.. but the /etc/init.d/XXX part is wrong with 10.04 also.. | 08:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | Jordan_U, does using "?" actually work with init.d | 08:45 |
| * maxwellian smirks at codebrainz | 08:45 | |
| hahah | no oops? | 08:45 |
| prince_jammys | ZykoticK9: it's just a path to a file, so yeah. it's a glob. | 08:45 |
| hahah | i mean c++ | 08:45 |
| codebrainz | maxwellian, there is some GAS assembly in there i'm sure | 08:45 |

| prince_jammys | ZykoticK9: the service version works only if your present directory happens to be /etc/init.d ;) | 08:46 |

| hahah | if suppose i want to edit the source code of calculator app...how do i do that....i installed only binary file from SPM | 08:46 |

| Jordan_U | ZykoticK9: You're welcome. | 08:47 |

| maxwellian | hahah: But how to actually make a patch, and apply it, and repackage it? I've never figured that out. :P | 08:48 |
| codebrainz | Dargon, not too familiar with webmin. what is the output of 'ls -l /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/' | 08:48 |
| Jordan_U | hahah: Note however than you do *not* want to run apt-get source as root, and it will download the source to your current directory. | 08:48 |
| maxwellian | hahah: If you do, please walk me through it. | 08:48 |
| codebrainz | Jordan_U, good point | 08:49 |
| maxwellian | hahah: In other words, don't run those through sudo. | 08:49 |
| maxwellian | hahah: Just to be crystal clear. :) | 08:49 |
| hahah | ya | 08:50 |
| hahah | am on ubuntu user | 08:50 |
| Dargon | codebrainz, webmin doesnt do much for the apache config except make me not have to write it manualkly, http://paste.ubuntu.com/459041/ | 08:50 |

| Jordan_U | maxwellian: If you are interested in fixing a bug for the first time, maybe you could give feedback on how discoverable the process is as explained here: http://daniel.holba.ch/blog/?p=691 | 08:51 |
| Dr_Willis | hahah: why are you using .spm anyway? ubuntu/apt has its own system for getting a programs source | 08:52 |
| RJames_ | since the ISO checksum passed, I'm going to download the previous netbook version (9.10) and see if I have any luck with that | 08:52 |
| codebrainz | Dargon, then sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 08:52 |

| hahah | i got 3files | 08:52 |

| Zelozelos | huh, thats strange, i deleted some files from my desktop and now theres some dotted boxed outlines where the icons were | 08:53 |
| Dargon | codebrainz, http://paste.ubuntu.com/459043/ | 08:53 |
| Dr_Willis | hahah: you can get apt-get to install all the needed dev files to compule somthing with ' sudo apt-get build-dep PACKAGENAME' then you use other commands to 'grab' the source deb and set the thing up so you can edit/rebuild & compile the source/deb | 08:53 |

| Pr0jectRec0n | hey all, I have a bash script like this : http://pastebin.com/6UysYN6z . All I need is When i want to exec my gnome-terminal - I wnt to execute it with a starting 'pwd' that I'll mention | 08:54 |
| Dr_Willis | RJames_: what iso were you using? | 08:54 |
| maxwellian | codebrainz: I've got varying levels of experience in C, Perl, Java, and Python. | 08:54 |
| maxwellian | codebrainz: Oh, and some C++. | 08:54 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | Is there a setting for gnome-terminal that can do it? I'm just too lazy to go thru the man pages.. | 08:54 |
| codebrainz | Dargon, ok, first do this sudo rm /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default | 08:54 |
| codebrainz | Dargon, and then try that ln -sv command again | 08:54 |
| Dr_Willis | RJames_: the server iso does Not work from USB - and im not sure ablut the alternative isntaller iso. | 08:54 |
| RJames_ | it was ubuntu-10.04-netbook-i386.iso | 08:55 |
| maxwellian | codebrainz: It's all the packaging voodoo that has eluded me. | 08:55 |
| quentin | how do I reload X without restarting my computer? | 08:55 |
| prince_jammys | Pr0jectRec0n: cd there before the gnome-terminal command. | 08:55 |
| codebrainz | maxwellian, debian packaging? | 08:55 |
| Dr_Willis | RJames_: ok. that should of worked from USB. vie used that befor. | 08:55 |
| Zelozelos | Pr0jectRec0n, thats pretty cool, never though of doin smthin like that | 08:55 |
| Jordan_U | maxwellian: Pick a bug and try to fix it. Even if you hit a dead end, just the act of trying (and documenting how it went as explained in the blog post) will benefit Ubuntu. | 08:55 |
| hahah | Dr_Willis: now the source code shud be compiled by gcc? | 08:55 |
| Dr_Willis | RJames_: with a little work - you can set up grub2 ona flash drive and boot the iso files directly also. | 08:55 |
| zhanglujie | 加入 | 08:55 |
| maxwellian | Jordan_U: There's probably a list of easy bugs out there? | 08:55 |
| codebrainz | quentin, /etc/init.d/gdm restart might do it | 08:56 |
| RJames_ | I might have to go that route | 08:56 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | Zelozelos, :) - It was one my requests at the forums : this - >http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=151379 | 08:56 |
| Dr_Willis | hahah: now you may want to read up on compiling and apt-get some. Im not clear on what you are doing and have done. | 08:56 |
| Lalitha | How do i reinstall the panels ? | 08:56 |
| Dr_Willis | !resetpanel | Lalitha | 08:56 |
| ubottu | Lalitha: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 08:56 |
| hahah | no i am not compiling | 08:56 |
| hahah | i jus wanna understand | 08:56 |
| asianmale | maxwellian: python sucks the fat one | 08:56 |
| hahah | wat is package | 08:56 |
| dreamer000 | tha | 08:56 |
| Dr_Willis | hahah: then you may want to start with teh apt-get manual given above | 08:57 |
| maxwellian | asianmale: Awwww, still your rosy self I see. | 08:57 |
| Dr_Willis | !apt-get | hahah | 08:57 |
| ubottu | hahah: 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) | 08:57 |

| codebrainz | maxwellian, don't believe the slander! :) | 08:57 |
| RJames_ | I had high hopes when I plopped my USB drive in there and got the gui to come up with the login prompt... if only it had asked me for a user/password when it was building the flash drive. Did it prompt you while building the flash drive? | 08:57 |
| quentin | codebrainz: I am getting this when I use /etc/init.d/gdm restart: Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) | 08:57 |
| quentin | utility, e.g. service gdm restart | 08:57 |
| quentin | Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an | 08:57 |
| quentin | Upstart job, you may also use the restart(8) utility, e.g. restart gdm | 08:57 |
| Dargon | codebrainz that simlink went to the images subdomain config, i need the 000-default to be the www. config | 08:57 |
| FloodBot1 | quentin: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:57 |
| maxwellian | codebrainz: I love Python, don't worry...I'm not swayed, however convincing asianmale is... :P | 08:57 |
| asianmale | codebrainz: it doesn't even have proper anonymous functions, it has this ridiculous 'self' parameter that shows OO's tacked on roots, it's woefully underengineered, anything sophisticated in python becomes a 'symbol table hack'. | 08:58 |
| codebrainz | quentin, they changed stuff recently, do what that says | 08:58 |
| Jordan_U | RJames_: It's not supposed to boot to a login prompt (if you used something like unetbootin). | 08:58 |
| iflema | RJames_ does ubuntu work live (livecd)? make the usb using ubuntus usb creator. Also, not sure about 9.10, 10.10 ya change between desktop, netbook, unity and so on at the login screen.... there all basically the same version.... no need to download duplicate iso(s) | 08:58 |
| maxwellian | asianmale: Well at least you said something with substance, but we're not going to start a Python conversation here. | 08:59 |
| iflema | RJames_ just get the netbook version(s) | 08:59 |
| dreamer000 | ubuntu randomly crashes right? | 08:59 |
| prince_jammys | heh | 08:59 |
| maxwellian | dreamer000: Uhhhh...hopefully not? :) | 08:59 |
| maxwellian | dreamer000: At least, it wasn't designed to do that, no. :) | 09:00 |
| quentin | codebrainz: I only used "restart gdm" and got: Warning: Fake initctl called, doing nothing. | 09:00 |
| codebrainz | asianmale, bs. define "proper anonymous functions" (like lambda?) and I've no idea what the rest of that was about, so? | 09:00 |
| codebrainz | quentin, I'm not sure with upstart | 09:01 |

| dreamer000 | just trying to install@laptop 9.10 :-) | 09:01 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | also, guys, regarding http://pastebin.com/6UysYN6z, what if I want to associate running this bash script to a keyboard shortcut ? Can I do it using System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts? | 09:01 |
| codebrainz | quentin, i just went into a console, stopped gdm, wget'd the sode, compiled, and rebooted, iirc | 09:01 |
| Dr_Willis | hacked_kernel: if its a video file of some kind. ffmpeg, and/or mencoder can proberly do it. | 09:01 |
| iflema | RJames_ 10.04 not 10.10.... | 09:02 |
| RJames_ | That is what I tried. I followed the little how-to on the ubuntu download page for netbook. step 1: download the 10.04-netbook iso. step 2: use the universal USB installer to get the iso on the flash drave. step 3: pop the drive in your netbook and boot from it. My problem is after it loads ubuntu from the flash drive.. ubuntu loads and gui login appears, only I never setup a user/pass so I can't get in. (sad face) | 09:02 |
| Dr_Willis | RJames_: and 'ubuntu' '' dont work | 09:02 |
| RJames_ | nope it didn't | 09:02 |
| Dr_Willis | RJames_: tried tjat flash drive on any other machines? | 09:02 |
| maxwellian | dreamer000: You're trying to install 9.10 on your laptop? | 09:03 |
| hacked_kernel | Dr_Willis, when using ffmpeg should i split audio and video then mix them together? because i tried to do it but i think i have the wrong parameters | 09:03 |
| iflema | RJames_ theres two options for the livecd 10.04 1. install 2. try There is no login prompt. | 09:03 |
| dreamer000 | yes it doesn't do the job with acpi=off | 09:03 |
| Dr_Willis | hacked_kernel: theres so many options to those programs.. i wouldent be suprised at people using the wrong paramaters. | 09:03 |
| iflema | RJames_ unless you log out that is | 09:03 |
| Dr_Willis | RJames_: so what OS is on the macnhine now? | 09:03 |
| dreamer000 | debian does | 09:03 |
| RJames_ | well tell that to my netbook. :P the menu came up. I selected try it out. First thing I got was a login. | 09:04 |
| nandonachi | i have installed the latest ubuntu and runing it in vmware..i installed gcc but the arrow keys do not work , please help :( | 09:04 |
| nandonachi | instead i get ^A etc... | 09:04 |
| Dr_Willis | RJames_: you do have ubuntu 10.04 on some machine ? You could try making a grub2 boot flash drive. that boots the iso file. | 09:04 |
| RJames_ | after trying numerous user/pass combos.. I tried the install option at the menu. doesn't do anything different. | 09:04 |
| Pr0jectRec0n | @all, nevermind, figured it out... | 09:04 |
| RJames_ | nope.. This was going to be my first ubuntu machine. | 09:04 |
| codebrainz | nandonachi, in text-mode or in the GUI/X environment? | 09:04 |
| maxwellian | dreamer000: Sorry, what's your question? | 09:04 |
| Dr_Willis | RJames_: It does sound like some odd hardware issue with that flash drive, | 09:05 |
| RJames_ | I think I'll see what happens when I put it in a different machine. | 09:05 |
| Dr_Willis | RJames_: or some memory issue. Try other machines. Ive had odd machines that dont like some flash drives. | 09:05 |
| dreamer000 | why does it work everywhere else? :-) | 09:05 |
| RJames_ | but ya.. I think after using unetbootin to try and build the drive.. and saw all those weird error messages on console. | 09:05 |
| Dargon | codebrainz, i redownloaded the original 000-default file and made it do what i need, same problem with the virtual host | 09:05 |
| RJames_ | I think you are right.. it's the usb drive maybe. | 09:05 |
| codebrainz | Dargon, at this point I'd look for the #apache channel :) | 09:06 |
| nandonachi | codebrainz : in the gui mode | 09:06 |
| prince_jammys | #httpd | 09:06 |
| dreamer000 | I like ubuntu because of upgrade policiy :-) | 09:06 |
| Jordan_U | Dr_Willis: In case you're interested, grub2's native shell scripting is not at the point where you can setup auto detection of isos at boot (creating a menu entry for each iso). It's been possible for a while with lua, but Debian/Ubuntu don't build grub2 with lua support. | 09:06 |
| nandonachi | im not a very experienced linux user... | 09:06 |
| Jordan_U | Dr_Willis: s/not/now/ | 09:06 |
| codebrainz | nandonachi, where do you see the weird codes when you press the arrow? | 09:06 |
| maxwellian | dreamer000: Okay, so in a complete sentence...When you turn on ACPI, Ubuntu crashes on you "randomly"? | 09:06 |
| maxwellian | dreamer000: Just trying to piece it together. :) | 09:07 |
| prince_jammys | you are a sport | 09:07 |
| nandonachi | codebrainz, sorry i was incorrect , the problem happens in vi editor :P | 09:07 |
| codebrainz | nandonachi, totally different. vi is like a rubix cube to me, I don't think I'll ever solve it | 09:08 |
| prince_jammys | nandonachi: use vim. | 09:08 |
| dreamer000 | as I explained: good media, cleaned cd-drive, no hope, just random. Have to investigate further. Except pulseaudio worrking on random desktops, except intel graphics. | 09:08 |
| codebrainz | nandonachi, or use nano if you're not a masochist | 09:09 |
| prince_jammys | meh | 09:09 |
| codebrainz | prince_jammys, i won't go there anymore :) | 09:10 |
| Jordan_U | codebrainz: vimtutor is a very good tutorial. Once you've been taught how to solve a rubix cube it's not that hard :) | 09:10 |
| nandonachi | codebrainz : lol , okay | 09:10 |
| prince_jammys | codebrainz: thanks | 09:10 |
| prince_jammys | nandonachi: there's always good old hjkl, or vim-full or whatever the package is called. | 09:10 |
| codebrainz | Jordan_U, don't wanna start a thing. i get along fine with my text/code editors :) | 09:10 |
| nandonachi | prince_jammys: but there is no such issue with ubuntu 8.10 | 09:11 |
| prince_jammys | mm | 09:11 |
| maxwellian | dreamer000: Sorry, it's almost certainly my fault, but I don't understand what you're talking about. :P If you stick around, hopefully someone smarter than me will be able to help! | 09:11 |
| nandonachi | prince_jammys: the vi works fine in ubuntu 8.10 | 09:11 |
| prince_jammys | nandonachi: arrow keys work OK otherwise in your terminal?? | 09:12 |
| nandonachi | prince_jammys : yes.. | 09:12 |
| codebrainz | nandonachi, is it ignoring you're arrow keys because you're not in the correct "mode" or whatever? | 09:12 |
| asianmale | codebrainz: python sucks so bad | 09:12 |
| prince_jammys | no, it's seeing them as cntrl-A and such. | 09:12 |
| nandonachi | codebrainz: i use the simple insert mode and editing mode nothing else :p | 09:12 |
| codebrainz | asianmale, if you want to discuss it, I'm on #python right now :) | 09:12 |
| prince_jammys | home court advantage | 09:13 |
| maxwellian | codebrainz: Sweet, showdown. :) | 09:13 |
| codebrainz | prince_jammys, much more knowledgeable people than me :) | 09:13 |
| * maxwellian dodges the tumbleweed blowing across the dusty main street. | 09:13 | |
| * prince_jammys just jokes about. | 09:13 | |
| * Petskull robs the pine city stage | 09:14 | |
| codebrainz | I really like python, but i can only compare it to the 5 or 6 other languages i use | 09:14 |
| Petskull | hot4you? | 09:14 |
| prince_jammys | nandonachi: well, i can't remember the solution to this, though i've witnessed it. is only vim-tiny installed? | 09:14 |
| phawx | anyone familiar with mencoder? | 09:14 |
| prince_jammys | !anyone | 09:14 |
| ubottu | A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 09:14 |
| Dr_Willis | phawx: i know it has a lot of docs at its homepage and a faq thats very good. and a good forum :) | 09:15 |
| nandonachi | prince:jammys : the default package which i think is vim tiny | 09:15 |
| maxwellian | Oh ubottu, are you always so direct? | 09:15 |
| Petskull | does anyone here ask questions openly? | 09:15 |
| prince_jammys | nandonachi: try vim-full | 09:15 |
| Dargon | codebrainz, i got the virtual servers working, wanna tackle making my php mail directive work? | 09:15 |
| codebrainz | Petskull, what is the meaning of life? | 09:15 |
| Petskull | 42 | 09:15 |
| nandonachi | prince_jammys: hmm | 09:15 |
| Dr_Willis | nandonachi: the default vim is 'vim tiny' - the normal vim package has better support and features. works with the arrow keys also | 09:16 |
| prince_jammys | nandonachi: or not :) | 09:16 |
| Dr_Willis | !info vim | 09:16 |
| ubottu | vim (source: vim): Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor. In component main, is optional. Version 2:7.2.330-1ubuntu3 (lucid), package size 844 kB, installed size 1672 kB | 09:16 |
| slow-motion | hi | 09:16 |
| codebrainz | Dargon, nope. check the php channel maybe | 09:16 |
| prince_jammys | nandonachi: now you have to try it | 09:16 |
| maxwellian | If you're trying to use arrow keys, don't use vim. | 09:16 |
| dreamer000 | I expect it to be a real acpi/bios issue i should have mentioned years ago... Something seams to go wrong autoconf my hardware | 09:16 |
| maxwellian | You're defeating the purpose, just use Nano. | 09:16 |
| Dr_Willis | arrow keys work fine with the normal 'vim' its the 'vim-tiny' that has them missing. | 09:16 |
| dreamer000 | kanotix/lenny did do the job | 09:17 |
| nandonachi | prince_jammys: how can i install the full vim packaeg | 09:17 |
| prince_jammys | nandonachi: install vim-full | 09:17 |
| prince_jammys | or vim | 09:17 |
| codebrainz | ewww | 09:17 |
| codebrainz | sorry | 09:17 |
| Dr_Willis | prince_jammys: its just vim - now in 10.04 :) no -full that i can see | 09:17 |
| prince_jammys | nandonachi: ^^ | 09:17 |
| nandonachi | k | 09:18 |
| maxwellian | Dr_Willis: They may work fine, but my point is that if you're using arrow keys, you are probably not using vim properly anyway. Might as well use something simpler like nano. | 09:18 |
| prince_jammys | don't listen to these nanoers | 09:18 |
| prince_jammys | nannys | 09:18 |
| codebrainz | hehehe | 09:18 |
| maxwellian | Dr_Willis: Er, not properly. | 09:18 |
| nandonachi | thanks a lot everyone | 09:18 |
| nandonachi | :D | 09:18 |
| Dr_Willis | maxwellian: i find nano basically useelss.. and i dont find that using the arrow keys matter much. :) | 09:18 |
| maxwellian | Dr_Willis: Nano has all the features that someone using arrow keys with vim would be using. :P | 09:19 |
| codebrainz | prince_jammys, my fav text-mode editor was msedit :) (or maybe the borland legacy ide) | 09:19 |
| prince_jammys | maxwellian: you're editor-profiling him! | 09:19 |
| Dr_Willis | maxwellian: ive had to explain way to many people what ^-Q means.. i dont reccomend nano to anyone | 09:20 |
| prince_jammys | maybe he/she/it uses arrow keys plus a bunch of other vim stuffs. | 09:20 |
| codebrainz | it's nice that 10.04 has the nano highlighting on by default! | 09:20 |
| maxwellian | prince_jammys: You bet I am! This country used to be full of good, vi-loving citizens! | 09:20 |
| Dr_Willis | There was some dos edit clone i saw ages ago.. but cant recall where is aw it it. cant find it int he repos either. | 09:20 |
| Dr_Willis | codebrainz: now if it only had a startup message that ^ = the control key. :) | 09:20 |

| mneptok | Dr_Willis: vim is not a tool for the novice user, though. a simpler editor is a better idea. | 09:21 |
| maxwellian | Dr_Willis: Oh, but all the newbies just type :q without even thinking about it... :P | 09:22 |
| bkerensa | sendmail isnt sending any mail using the php mail function any suggestions? I have checked logs and made sure the php.ini is configured properly? | 09:22 |
| dreamer000 | vim could be a tool also for. | 09:22 |
| prince_jammys | the questioner explicitly asked for vim; 'twasn't pushing upon him/her | 09:22 |
| codebrainz | I've been coding for some years now, all i need is a box to type in with a save function | 09:22 |
| Dr_Willis | maxwellian: i never said to suggest vim for them. | 09:22 |
| Dr_Willis | maxwellian: ive said for years that they need somthing better then nano. | 09:22 |
| mneptok | "ne" is probably the best editor for someone new to the *nix command line | 09:23 |
| codebrainz | Dr_Willis, yeah, nano is crude | 09:23 |
| Dr_Willis | mneptok: yea. i cant find that Dos edit one - it was in some disrto.. but ive looked and looked.. :) | 09:23 |
| Dr_Willis | mcedit isent too hard to use either. but its not totally clear that one uses the 'F keys' to do the menus | 09:23 |
| mneptok | Dr_Willis: try ne. it's what my 75 year old father uses. :) | 09:23 |

| Taev | its crashing repeatedly | 09:24 |

| prince_jammys | what causes the crash? | 09:24 |
| prince_jammys | *triggers | 09:25 |
| Taev | nothing, like just now I opened cnn | 09:25 |
| maxwellian | Dr_Willis: I was introduced to Unix by an old-timer, I learned vi, no ifs ands or buts. I don't know anything about Nano, so you're probably right about needing a better newbie editor. I just think a newbie editor is a good thing. | 09:25 |
| Dr_Willis | mneptok: ne is very close to what i was thinking of.. I would have to say it would be a better editor then Nano. | 09:25 |
| mneptok | maxwellian: ne | 09:25 |
| Taev | before that, i started it up with a blank homepage and it crashed | 09:25 |
| mneptok | Dr_Willis: i use nano due to years and years of pine usage. | 09:26 |
| Dr_Willis | maxwellian: yea. ne is definatly easier for betinners. | 09:26 |
| prince_jammys | Taev: ok, now you have a better irc question :) | 09:26 |

| Dr_Willis | ne - needs to put the info about hiting 'escape escape' in the title to access the menus. the editor i saw. I thouight had a menu bar up there with a message like that.. but ne is very close to whats needed | 09:27 |
| Dr_Willis | at least the ne startup screen gives info on ^ = ctrl and so forth | 09:27 |

| Taev | how can it be a plugin causing it to crash, when it crashes on my homepage which is a blank page | 09:28 |
| maxwellian | mneptok: Nano is similar to pine in the interface? (Because of said old-timer I grew up with mutt.) | 09:28 |
| Dr_Willis | !brainstorm | 09:28 |
| ubottu | Post your ideas for Ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like! | 09:28 |
| Dr_Willis | do a brainstorm to replace nano with ne :) | 09:28 |
| gryllida | Taev: Unable to get crash ID? | 09:28 |
| Taev | there is no crash ID | 09:29 |
| maxwellian | Dr_Willis: Did you start it already? | 09:29 |
| mneptok | maxwellian: pico was the default pine editor. nano is a pico clone under a Free license. | 09:29 |
| Taev | /home/djs/.mozilla/firefox/Crash Reports | 09:29 |
| gryllida | Taev: run this in Terminal after completely closing Firefox: firefox -safe-mode | 09:29 |
| Taev | theres 2 files | 09:29 |
| maxwellian | mneptok: Ah, thanks. | 09:29 |
| Taev | InstallTime2, and UserID | 09:29 |
| dreamer000 | Taev:libraries like xul or something like that? | 09:29 |
| Dr_Willis | maxwellian: not yet. :) web is slow for me right now | 09:29 |
| alasca | I'm confused. In chromium adobe flash works without a problem but in firefox it doesn't....why? | 09:29 |
| codebrainz | for the 1% of the time i use a text-mode editor, nano is fine. otherwise i just use geany | 09:29 |
| Dr_Willis | maxwellian: checking out iother editors also. | 09:29 |
| Dr_Willis | codebrainz: yea. geany is what i use 90% of the time on X/gui | 09:29 |
| maxwellian | Dr_Willis: You can IRC okay? Just use lynx. ;) | 09:29 |
| Dr_Willis | maxwellian: i got other stuff downloading. so im laggy.. :) | 09:30 |
| Taev | ahaha | 09:30 |
| codebrainz | Dr_Willis, can't go wrong with Geany! (Even on windows) | 09:30 |
| Taev | it crashed on safe mode | 09:30 |
| Taev | soon as i loaded a page | 09:30 |
| mneptok | maxwellian: and no *nix "old-timer" started with Mutt. Mutt's first release was in the mid-1990s, IIRC. ;) | 09:30 |
| maxwellian | mneptok: No one said he STARTED with mutt... ;) | 09:30 |
| Taev | theres still no crash report | 09:30 |
| Taev | it crashed in SAFE MODE, look is there a way to roll back to the last version of firefox i had | 09:31 |
| Taev | the one that actually worked | 09:31 |
| gryllida | Taev, launch it in safemode | 09:31 |
| Taev | i just did | 09:31 |
| gryllida | firefox -safe-mode | 09:31 |
| Taev | and it crashed | 09:31 |
| gryllida | ok | 09:31 |
| maxwellian | mneptok: But I think mutt is popular with old timers by now. | 09:31 |
| gryllida | then make new profile | 09:31 |
| gryllida | firefox -P | 09:31 |
| mneptok | maxwellian: "it just sucks less" (tm) | 09:31 |
| maxwellian | mneptok: Ahhh, marketing. :) | 09:32 |
| Dr_Willis | I still miss the 'CygnusED' editor i used on My Amiga. :) but its all a matter of what you are used to. | 09:32 |
| Dr_Willis | fte is also a neat powerfull console editor. | 09:32 |
| Taev | ok I did firefox -P | 09:32 |
| Taev | created a new profile | 09:32 |
| maxwellian | Dr_Willis: Hold on, I need to write these down. ne and fte so far... | 09:32 |
| Taev | and it CRASHED | 09:32 |
| Pirate_Hunter | maxwellian, Dr_Willis mneptok: are discussing ideas on different text editors or is there an actual ubuntu related problem with them? | 09:32 |
| andimeier | Hello everyone! Is this channel the right one if I seek help because update from karmic to lucid was not successful and now my system hangs on boot, being stuck in grub? | 09:32 |
| Taev | Segmentation fault | 09:32 |
| gryllida | Taev: check for the issue in the new profile, is it crashing then? ('firefox -P' launches profile manager) | 09:33 |
| gryllida | ok | 09:33 |
| prince_jammys | andimeier: yes. | 09:33 |
| === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach | ||
| Taev | i created a new profile | 09:33 |
| gryllida | Taev: new profile crashed ---- means you have to reinstall Firefox | 09:33 |
| Taev | and it crashed | 09:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Pirate_Hunter: i just discovered a bug with the 'fte' editor. :) | 09:33 |
| jayant | hii... can anyone help with the wireless setup on my ubuntu? | 09:33 |
| ddavids | y'all, yes there is a bug in gedit 2 | 09:33 |
| Taev | yeah, now how do i get rid of this stupid ass version and reinstall the old version that actually worked? | 09:33 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Dr_Willis, really continue than don't mind me *whistle* | 09:33 |
| maxwellian | Pirate_Hunter: Oooh, is it easy? Maybe I can finally fix a bug. :) | 09:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Pirate_Hunter: a big one.. it cant be ran as a normal user.. off to file a bug report on it. | 09:34 |
| jayant | it says "device not ready" even after turning on the wireless device... | 09:34 |
| gryllida | Taev: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#Clean_reinstall | 09:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Pirate_Hunter: yea. i notice a lot of these 'older' packages dont get as much love/attention as they should. Sad to see them get lost in the background. | 09:34 |
| wildbat | what is the GUI tools you ppl recommend for ripping CD too AAC ? | 09:34 |
| gryllida | AC? | 09:34 |
| gryllida | AAC? | 09:35 |
| jayant | and in network tools it shows the state of the wlan0 interface as "inactive" | 09:35 |
| mneptok | wildbat: SoundJuicer with appropriate GStreamer plugins. | 09:35 |
| nOgAnOo | so, I have never tried linux | 09:35 |
| codebrainz | ddavids, do you have a specific issue? | 09:35 |
| maxwellian | Taev: Unless you're on the bleeding edge, a bug that big would probably have been caught and fixed right now. | 09:35 |
| Taev | its 3.6.6 | 09:35 |
| nOgAnOo | anyone wanna talk to a kewl windows user? | 09:35 |
| maxwellian | Taev: By now, rather. | 09:35 |
| nOgAnOo | pm | 09:35 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Dr_Willis, I am not even aware of most older packages except mutt and pine which I need to get it working with my server email | 09:35 |
| ddavids | codebrainz: i get errors when trying to save with it on the terminal | 09:35 |
| codebrainz | ddavids, pastebin the errors | 09:36 |
| nOgAnOo | codebrainz | 09:36 |
| maxwellian | Taev: Is that the regular version for lynx? | 09:36 |
| nOgAnOo | i like your handle | 09:36 |
| nOgAnOo | You must be a great person. | 09:36 |
| Taev | damn it, where is the old firefox releases on mozilla.com ? | 09:36 |
| codebrainz | nOgAnOo, i bought it for $50,000CAD | 09:36 |
| bkerensa | sendmail isnt sending any mail using the php mail function any suggestions? I have checked logs and made sure the php.ini is configured properly? | 09:36 |
| maxwellian | Taev: (Sorry, I'm still on karmic) | 09:36 |
| nOgAnOo | oh, sorry, your currency is worth nothing now since the release of my nOgBucks | 09:37 |
| Pirate_Hunter | wildbat, rubyripper as ive been told its the best or so some websites claim however specifically for ACC (which I think its the itunes version) I am not sure | 09:37 |
| mneptok | Taev: did you add a PPA or enable backports to get this new version? | 09:37 |
| Taev | no adept update manager installed it | 09:37 |
| Taev | seriously, how do i get rid of this version and install the previous version i had? | 09:37 |
| wildbat | mneptok, Pirate_Hunter , thanks | 09:38 |
| Dr_Willis | !pin | Taev | 09:38 |
| ubottu | Taev: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 09:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Taev: i thought the new version only got installed if you had backports enabled also. | 09:38 |
| maxwellian | bkerensa: You might have more luck in a channel specific to php or sendmail. | 09:38 |
| flames | hi how to play format wma in ubuntu??? | 09:38 |
| Taev | do you guys take lessons on how to evade direct questions? | 09:38 |
| Dr_Willis | flames: it depends more on teh codec used by the wma. Ive played them in mplayer and vlc befor | 09:38 |
| woodong50__ | after format ,reintall old version | 09:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Taev: yes. | 09:38 |
| maxwellian | Taev: No way, natural talent. | 09:39 |
| flames | ok thanks | 09:39 |
| mneptok | nOgAnOo: did you have a support question? | 09:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Only time ive had to use older versions of some packages was with wine and some games. | 09:39 |
| Taev | i just redownloaded firefox 3.6.6. and did a clean install | 09:39 |
| Taev | it crashed | 09:39 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Taev, if you remove firefox it may remove ubuntu destop and gnome at least it used to its a touchy situation that will require giving more help and to why FF is crashing for you even in safe-mode I am dazzled | 09:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Taev: redownloaded? from teh firefox web site? | 09:39 |
| Taev | yes | 09:40 |
| mneptok | Taev: move your ~/.mozilla directory aside and see if it crashes. | 09:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Taev: its best to use the package manager. not downloading stuff from teh FF web site. that may be the core of your whole problem | 09:40 |
| Taev | just mv it to a new file name? | 09:40 |
| mneptok | Taev: sure | 09:40 |
| Taev | I didn't download the update to 3.6.6. originally from the website, Adept Package manager did it | 09:40 |
| jayant | hey. can anyone help me with my wireless problem? | 09:40 |
| Taev | I just downloaded it now because some one suggested doing a clean install | 09:40 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Taev, have you tried other browsers i.e. opera, chome/inium, epiphany, dillo etc | 09:40 |
| maxwellian | !help | jayant | 09:40 |
| ubottu | jayant: 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. :-) | 09:40 |
| cantmountanyhd | Hello, i booted through live cd but none of my hard drives are accessible .. they are visible but not accessible .. big error message | 09:41 |
| Taev | look is there a way to get synaptic to roll back to the previous version of firefox? | 09:41 |
| tamara | how do i change window buttons to go from left to right? | 09:41 |
| mneptok | Taev: no. | 09:41 |
| codebrainz | cantmountanyhd, pastebin the errors | 09:41 |
| Taev | then where can I find the previous version of firefox's .deb package | 09:41 |
| Taev | i can't seem to find it on mozilla.com | 09:41 |
| cantmountanyhd | codebrainz: roger [ btw these are fully accessible hard drives through windows 7] | 09:41 |
| ddavids | codebrainz: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/PJVbNftY | 09:41 |
| maxwellian | Dr_Willis: What is the default version of Firefox in lynx? | 09:41 |
| alasca | tamara, Change your theme... | 09:42 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Taev, run FireFox in terminal and check for errors | 09:42 |
| ikonia | Taev: why are you installing things from mozillia.com ? why are you not using the package manager | 09:42 |
| mneptok | maxwellian: as released? or as updated? | 09:42 |
| Taev | I already did Pirate_Hunter | 09:42 |
| Taev | i ran it in safe mode too | 09:42 |
| Taev | it crashed | 09:42 |
| Taev | seg fault | 09:42 |
| ddavids | http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/PJVbNftY | 09:42 |
| alasca | tamara, right click, on desktop, change desktop background >theme..and choose from there. | 09:42 |
| tamara | alasca, ok, i got it | 09:42 |
| tamara | thanks | 09:42 |
| * Taev bangs head. I did use the package manager to install this infernal 3.6.6., some one just now suggested i do a clean install so i downloaded the package from mozilla.com | 09:43 | |
| jayant | ok... the wireless works on my windows, but since i installed ubuntu 10.04 netbook edition it does not recognize any wireless connections.. and when i disable and enable network connections it says "device not ready" under wireless connections.. | 09:43 |
| flames | cannot play VLC | 09:43 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Taev, did you remove it instead of using purge and than did you remove its profile hidden in ~/ if not you didnt do much | 09:43 |
| flames | No suitable decoder module: | 09:43 |
| flames | VLC does not support the audio or video format "wmap". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this. | 09:43 |
| Dr_Willis | !info firefox | 09:43 |
| ubottu | firefox (source: firefox): safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 3.6.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 (lucid), package size 10976 kB, installed size 29648 kB | 09:43 |
| flames | VLC cannot ply wma format | 09:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm. did they update firefox in teh main repos? | 09:43 |
| codebrainz | ddavids, it's hard to tell from that, can you try with a smaller file (like 100 lines-ish) | 09:43 |
| Taev | look could some one please point me to a directory with a deb package for the previous version of firefox | 09:43 |
| Dr_Willis | flames: i think it depends on the codec to some degree. | 09:43 |
| Taev | thats all im asking for | 09:43 |
| jayant | and in the devices tab in network tools, the wlan0 interface shows as "inactive" state | 09:44 |
| cantmountanyhd | what is that image posting site like pastebin ? let me upload the screenshot | 09:44 |
| alasca | Dr_Willis, I have a question, why firefox isn't in the repositories as it is, with no extra things...? | 09:44 |
| flames | so how to playing wma format in ubuntu??? | 09:44 |
| alasca | Dr_Willis, As it is like the version you get from firefox website... | 09:44 |
| alasca | flames, You need ubuntu restricted package. | 09:44 |
| codebrainz | cantmountanyhd, can't just paste the text? | 09:44 |
| alasca | !restricted package | 09:44 |
| mneptok | flames: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras] | 09:44 |
| mneptok | -] | 09:45 |
| flames | ok | 09:45 |
| cantmountanyhd | codebrainz: naw, cant copy it | 09:45 |
| andimeier1 | after upgrading to lucid, I cannot boot anymore, I suppose the culprit is my "special" configuration: software RAID5 which is not recognized/configured anymore. now I'm stuck in grub: "error: the symbol 'grub_puts_' not found" | 09:45 |
| maxwellian | Taev: Obviously you're frustrated, we get that. No one's trying to evade your question, we're trying to figure out the best solution. Believe it or not, people coming in here don't always know the best solution to their problem. | 09:45 |
| Dr_Willis | Taev: run synaptic, search for firefox, use package -> force version menu item | 09:45 |
| abhi_nav | I was asking about this in offtopic but no help. if anyonw knows then reply other wise ignore. How to add gadges to google desktop sidebar? (I know this is crossposting. I wait for so many mintus but no help) | 09:45 |
| Taev | the best solution is just installing the last version of firefox that actually worked | 09:45 |
| codebrainz | cantmountanyhd, this comes up in google: http://imagebin.ca/ | 09:46 |
| Taev | I can't seem to find a .deb for that | 09:46 |
| Taev | hehe... THeres NOT a Deb for that | 09:46 |
| ikonia | Taev: I'll ask again - why are you getting packages from outside the package manager | 09:46 |
| Taev | parody of the Iphone | 09:46 |
| Dr_Willis | Taev: theres other packages that it may alwo need. so its 'best' to use synaptic. to downgrade the version | 09:46 |
| maxwellian | ikonia: Because he was doing a fresh install. | 09:46 |
| prince_jammys | ikonia: because he misinterpreted "clean install" to mean that. | 09:46 |
| Taev | and I'll answer again. I DIDN'T. I only downloaded it from mozilla.com just now, for the clean re-install | 09:46 |
| mneptok | Taev: that's not the best solution. the best solution is to determine why Firefox gives you such problems, but not others. | 09:46 |
| ddavids | http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/L89n0rbQ | 09:46 |
| ikonia | maxwellian: but why go from outside the repos ? | 09:46 |
| ddavids | codebrainz: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/L89n0rbQ | 09:47 |
| maxwellian | ikonia: Because he thought that's what you're supposed to do. | 09:47 |
| Dr_Willis | abhi_nav: i thought i just dragged them over there to the side bar last i used google gadgets. or right clciked on teh sidebar and added them | 09:47 |
| ikonia | ah, he's not actually installed it yet | 09:47 |
| cantmountanyhd | codebrainz: http://yfrog.com/j0screenshothrp | 09:47 |
| Belserusk | Hi. I was looking at a friends laptop yesterday. I saw a button on the same row as the help, wireless and power buttons. It has a symbol on it that kind of looks like this: http://michaelgr.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/radioactive-001.png What is its function? I pressed it but nothing happened! The laptop model is a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo L1310G | 09:47 |
| codebrainz | ddavids, yeah, i can't tell from that, those eerors are useless, try it with a file that is less than 50K lines, more like 20-100 lines long | 09:47 |
| abhi_nav | Dr_Willis, do I need to install sidebar separately? i installed google desktop but there is no sidebar anywhere | 09:48 |
| ikonia | Belserusk: that is nothing to do with ubuntu | 09:48 |
| Taev | thanks Dr_Willis | 09:48 |
| jayant | anyone who can help me out here? wireless connection shows up as "device not ready" even after turning on wireless | 09:48 |
| Dr_Willis | abhi_nav: its been ages since i last used it. and i hate the side bar. | 09:48 |
| abhi_nav | Dr_Willis, ok | 09:48 |
| RJames_ | ok.. so I get the phantom login on my desktop system as well | 09:48 |
| ddavids | codebrainz: will this help? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/L89n0rbQ | 09:48 |
| RJames_ | so I suppose my USB drive is suspect | 09:49 |
| Taev | you know I used to love Ubuntu, but now it seems its moving away from doing what users want, and doing what you think they should do instead, its just like the other day when I asked how to log in as root | 09:49 |
| Taev | no one wanted to say run kuser and set a password for root, it was "oh no" use sudo, | 09:49 |
| codebrainz | ddavids, heh, no. do you have a massive text file open? | 09:49 |
| Dr_Willis | abhi_nav: i just right cluicked on the sidebar. add gadgets - sleected one.. and it went to the sidebar | 09:49 |
| ezhackxx_ | @Jayant: Update the OS. | 09:49 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Taev, you should delete your current firefox profile found hidden in your home directory, than purge firefox and install whatever version you want usinf sudo aptitude/apt-get install firefox-2/3.0/3.5 etc | 09:49 |
| prince_jammys | Taev: this channel has policies. you don't have to follow them, just don't expect answers for that here. | 09:49 |
| maxwellian | Taev: If I just bought a gun from a gun store and asked the owner how to shoot myself in the foot, do you think it's a good idea for him to show me? | 09:49 |
| abhi_nav | Dr_Willis, yah I know that but for that atleast the sidebar bar should be ther naa? but it is not there? :( | 09:49 |
| ddavids | no | 09:49 |
| Dr_Willis | abhi_nav: if you dont see a sidebar. check the settings in teh google gadgets appleticon | 09:49 |
| mneptok | Taev: because running as root is dangerous, is not supported, and will not be discussed on this channel per policy. | 09:50 |
| abhi_nav | Dr_Willis, ok | 09:50 |
| Dr_Willis | abhi_nav: it can show/hide it. :) logical eh | 09:50 |
| codebrainz | cantmountanyhd, easiest solution is to boot back into windows and shutdown properly | 09:50 |
| Taev | to expand on your analogy, if i bought the gun then its MINE. I can do whatever I want with it. | 09:50 |
| jayant | @ezhackxx update the OS? i have ubuntu 10.04 netbook edition.. | 09:50 |
| abhi_nav | Dr_Willis, ok i wll check it | 09:50 |
| maxwellian | Taev: Absolutely, it is. | 09:50 |
| cantmountanyhd | codebrainz: but i have done it so many times | 09:50 |
| jayant | and i cant get onilne from ubuntu to update or download any packages either.. | 09:50 |
| mneptok | Taev: i think you need to accept that Firefox is probably not the issue, and something about your configuration is. | 09:50 |
| cantmountanyhd | codebrainz: restart through windows is a proper shut down right ? | 09:51 |
| maxwellian | Taev: But people are generally nice enough to provide you with information that is in your best interest. | 09:51 |
| Taev | damn it i did what Dr_Willis said to do | 09:51 |
| ramit_ | can anybody knows where is uid of hard-disk is | 09:51 |
| Taev | and it reinstalled 3.6.6. | 09:51 |
| codebrainz | cantmountanyhd, should be | 09:51 |
| maxwellian | Taev: Even if you rail against it for some reason. | 09:51 |
| Taev | and it just crashed again | 09:51 |
| ezhackxx_ | @Jayant Some driver do not come in default | 09:51 |
| cantmountanyhd | codebrainz: then i have done it more than a few times | 09:51 |
| codebrainz | cantmountanyhd, you can mount with the --force option, by doing it manually | 09:51 |
| mneptok | Taev: as i said before, move aside your Firefox profile or test with the guest account. | 09:51 |
| cantmountanyhd | ya i tried that command in the error msg .. didnt work | 09:51 |
| Taev | look there has got to be a directory online with the default install packages | 09:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Taev: if you 'installed' firefox from teh firefox download page. You may need to remove that. or you may be accidently running that version | 09:51 |
| cantmountanyhd | says i need to be a root | 09:51 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Taev, delete your frigging profile your still using the old firefox folders | 09:51 |
| Taev | a version of firefox other than 3.6.6. | 09:51 |
| ddavids | codebrainz: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/PuxLjbR5 | 09:52 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Taev, i've posted the same thing dont know how many times | 09:52 |
| cantmountanyhd | i have terminal open .. i know some sudo or something .. not sure | 09:52 |
| ezhackxx_ | @Jayant: I experienced the same probs. Had to connect with a LAN Cable to do that | 09:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Taev: if you truely insrtalled ff 3.6.3 - then it is downloaded to the /var/cache/apt dir | 09:52 |
| codebrainz | cantmountanyhd, if you feel confident, use 'sudo' before the command | 09:52 |
| Taev | i wiped out that directory last week | 09:52 |
| Taev | to get space | 09:52 |
| jayant | @ezhackxx is there a way to download the drivers from windows and install them on ubuntu later? | 09:52 |
| Taev | and the version i downloaded from mozilla.com to test the clean install was a tar.bz2 that I ran locally from my home folder | 09:52 |
| Taev | i didn't install it | 09:52 |
| codebrainz | ddavids, heh, it's that those single line errors mean nothing to me. if you can't provide actual more errors, i can't tell from those pastebins | 09:53 |
| ezhackxx_ | @Jayant: Don't think so | 09:53 |
| codebrainz | ddavids, it's not enough for me to go on | 09:53 |
| ddavids | ok, i see but i have no idea how to generate more errors | 09:53 |
| abhi_nav | jayant, which drivers? | 09:53 |

| jayant | for my wireless connection.... it says "device not ready" | 09:54 |
| Pirate_Hunter | jayant, the only time I would think of doing that is to be used with an application running wine and you should be able to using firefox unless the site specifically wants you to use IE but than you could try the user agent plugin to bypass that | 09:54 |

| codebrainz | cantmountanyhd, worth a try, then come back and fix if it doesn't work | 09:55 |
| maxwellian | Dr_Willis: What did you have Taev do, reinstall? | 09:55 |
| jayant | how can i know? when i try to see the list of hardware drivers nothing shows up | 09:55 |
| Taev | please would some one give me a url that has a .deb for a version of firefox before 3.6.6 | 09:55 |
| Taev | Im begging you | 09:55 |
| prince_jammys | stop that. | 09:56 |
| Pirate_Hunter | maxwell_, Dr_Willis : I think the problem might be his profile folder in home but I don't think they understand what I meant | 09:56 |
| Dr_Willis | maxwellian: use synaptic and select teh older version.. Not sure if he did it properly or not. and IF he did install 3.6.3 the .deb should be in his /var/cache/apt but i dont think hes looked. | 09:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Pirate_Hunter: possibaly. | 09:56 |
| Taev | all i can find on FTP Directory trees are the .ISO for ubuntu | 09:57 |
| Taev | I can't find the packages | 09:57 |
| maxwellian | Taev: We're not hiding anything from you. Trust me, if I had the link I'd give it to you. | 09:57 |
| maxwellian | Taev: Thousands of people are running that version of Firefox. | 09:57 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Dr_Willis, I get the feeling they are not doing anything that has been suggested and instead just asking about the .deb which wont help them | 09:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Taev: if you did use synaptic to install teh older version just now - it would be saved in /var/cache/apt/archives | 09:58 |

| RJames_ | I'm tired and defeated. My mystery login seems to stem either from the USB or the particular netbook iso since I get the same behavior from my netbook and desktop. Tomorrow I'll try a different ubuntu ISO that I've already downloaded. Then if that fails, I think I'll try with different flavor of linux. If all of that fails. I will renouce all technology and join monkdom. | 10:00 |
| abhi_nav | Taev, you want older version of ff and it is not availabl on internet? | 10:01 |

| Taev | there i just did a complete removal of firefox 3.6.6. | 10:01 |
| Taev | good riddance | 10:01 |
| Pirate_Hunter | abhi_nav, actually it is but I dont thing they know about sudo or commandline but than synaptic has been suggested | 10:01 |
| RJames_ | codebrainz: please send me your catalog. | 10:02 |

| Pirate_Hunter | Taev, you mean you sudo aptitude purge firefox? are you sure I need to be certain | 10:02 |
| abhi_nav | Pirate_Hunter, Taev what I suggest you is go to firefox channel. atleast one of them have older version of firefox. so they will upload it for you on their website. your sent you throu some link. see that | 10:02 |
| RJames_ | ok fellas and non-fellas. You take care. Thanks for all your suggestions and helps and the oh-so-good-times | 10:03 |

| Pirate_Hunter | maxwellian, I will than start calling troll and block them until than doing step by step removal is not that difficult | 10:03 |
| prince_jammys | Taev: install firefox with aptitude. | 10:04 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Zeu5, why do you find it weird? | 10:04 |
| Taev | it will just install 3.6.6 | 10:04 |
| * Dr_Willis waits ffor Taev 's older firefox to also crash. | 10:04 | |
| Taev | I don't want 3.6.6. since its buggy | 10:04 |

| prince_jammys | Taev: install it. | 10:04 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Zeu5, http://filezilla-project.org/client_screenshots.php that is how it looks like | 10:04 |
| Zeu5 | Pirate_Hunter: because they all say the same thing http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=733697 | 10:04 |
| Dr_Willis | I did have some conflicts with trying to downgrade to 3.6.3 just now.. but i have a lot of extra stuff installed. | 10:04 |
| Zeu5 | Pirate_Hunter: i dont have Edit. | 10:04 |
| Pirate_Hunter | prince_jammys, dont tell him to install it they must remove it the profile directory first | 10:05 |
| prince_jammys | Pirate_Hunter: he's done so. | 10:05 |
| prince_jammys | or at least said he did. | 10:05 |
| prince_jammys | either way, he can remove it after reinstalling. | 10:05 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Taev, did you remove it and please use my name | 10:05 |
| Taev | there i did as Pirate_Hunter suggested, sudo aptitude update, then sudo aptitude purge firefox | 10:05 |
| Pirate_Hunter | prince_jammys, true but im doing baby steps somehting I rarely do | 10:06 |
| Taev | now what? | 10:06 |
| Dr_Willis | Taev: try running 'firefox' from the terminal and see if it runs | 10:06 |
| maxwellian | Dr_Willis: Gah, hold on. | 10:06 |
| Taev | I already did that, and I did firefox -safe-mode, they crashed | 10:06 |
| Taev | now i just purged firefox | 10:06 |
| Taev | so I can't do it again | 10:06 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Taev, good, now go to your home directory, which has the folders Documents, Downloads etc and press ctrl+H to show hidden folders | 10:06 |
| Dr_Willis | Taev: so 'firefox' now gives a 'command not found' ? | 10:07 |
| Taev | you want me to delete .mozilla? | 10:07 |
| Taev | is that it | 10:07 |
| maxwellian | Dr_Willis: I don't think he ever got an older version to install. | 10:07 |
| eoke | Taev: Avoid deleting anything until you know that's the problem just rename it. | 10:07 |
| Taev | yeah Dr_Willis | 10:07 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Zeu5, huh? I dont know what your following but filezilla can be installed from synaptic or command line | 10:07 |
| codebrainz | Taev, apt-get --reinstall --purge install firefox, try that? | 10:07 |
| maxwellian | codebrainz: Gah, wait. | 10:07 |
| Zeu5 | Pirate_Hunter: see this http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/7ZWUAtHfPxUXxTmbAgKlqg?feat=directlink | 10:08 |

| Dr_Willis | So they Put the ff Updates in 'main' not backports it seems. | 10:08 |

| Pirate_Hunter | Zeu5, what window manager do you have? | 10:09 |
| Zeu5 | Pirate_Hunter: i think its gnome? | 10:09 |
| Zeu5 | Pirate_Hunter: sorry i am very noob. i dont even know the difference between kde and gnome etc | 10:09 |
| Taev | well since no one answered, i just did apt-get install firefox | 10:09 |
| Zeu5 | Pirate_Hunter: how do i check ? | 10:09 |
| maxwellian | Taev: Smart move. | 10:09 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Taev, check the config folder for nay remains of firefolx/mozilla files or folders even knowing I think you removed it all after that do sudo aptitude search firefox and tell me which version you want | 10:10 |
| maxwellian | Taev: I wonder how you end with configurations that crash... | 10:10 |
| Taev | it crashed | 10:10 |
| Taev | ok, guess i have to purge again | 10:10 |
| codebrainz | Taev, apt-get --reinstall --purge install firefox, try that? | 10:11 |
| Taev | what does "score is -172" do you accept this solution, mean? | 10:11 |
| Taev | it wants to remove ubuntu-desktop | 10:11 |
| Taev | wtf | 10:11 |
| prince_jammys | that's ok. | 10:11 |
| codebrainz | Taev, it will reinstall, it's just a metapackage | 10:11 |
| Sagaci | Yeah it's a bit funny like that | 10:11 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Zeu5, it should tell you on start up or you can go to system>administrator>and one of the option there tells you your system info | 10:11 |
| floating | Anyone remember the name of dictionary software that allows you to search words that you click for example on irc or web browser such as babylon | 10:12 |
| Sagaci | System monitor | 10:12 |
| maxwellian | codebrainz: Really? Why is it set up that way? | 10:12 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Dr_Willis, care to help me here I need to know how identify which version of ubuntu Zeu5 is using? | 10:12 |
| prince_jammys | !version | 10:12 |
| ubottu | To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 10:12 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Sagaci, thanks | 10:12 |
| floating | I mean babylon is the windows program that is not freeware | 10:12 |
| Zeu5 | Pirate_Hunter: i am using lucid. 10.0.4 | 10:12 |
| codebrainz | maxwellian, they make one metapackage, and that installs all the stuff they want on top of the base system | 10:12 |
| floating | ah, must have been stardict | 10:12 |
| Taev | I did aptitude search firefox and it just lists a bunch of extension packages | 10:13 |
| Taev | and dummy packages | 10:13 |
| Taev | no specific versions | 10:13 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Zeu5, ok you are using gnome | 10:13 |
| codebrainz | maxwellian, you could make a package depend on anything, like all the kde packages (kubuntu-desktop) etc. | 10:13 |
| Taev | firefox -safe-mode Segmentation Fault | 10:13 |
| maxwellian | codebrainz: I get that, but why would they remove the desktop metapackage if you're removing firefox? | 10:13 |
| Zeu5 | Pirate_Hunter: yes i just found it. its gnome. according to the login screen | 10:13 |
| maxwellian | codebrainz: Surely other things depend on it? | 10:13 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Taev, you looking for the ones that say firefo-2, firefox-3.0 etc choose which version you want than do sudo aptitude install that [version type] | 10:14 |
| Zeu5 | Pirate_Hunter: so whats next? | 10:14 |
| === mcl0vin_ is now known as mcl0vin | ||
| codebrainz | maxwellian, because ubuntu-desktop depends on firefox | 10:14 |
| Taev | brb | 10:14 |
| maxwellian | codebrainz: Oh, duh. I didn't know that. | 10:14 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Zeu5, I am just wondering if you open nautilus does the same thing happen? | 10:14 |
| codebrainz | maxwellian, but removing ubuntu-desktop just removes the meta-packages, not all that it depends on | 10:14 |
| prince_jammys | maxwellian: no, a metapackage is just a hack so that when you install it, it auto-installs a bunch of packages. Once you remove any of _those_ packages, the metapackage can be (must be) removed. | 10:14 |
| Zeu5 | Pirate_Hunter: on any folders? | 10:14 |
| Zeu5 | Pirate_Hunter: i see the file edit etc when i open a folder | 10:15 |
| prince_jammys | maxwellian: i.e. the metapackage contains _nothing_ but a list of dependencies. | 10:15 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Zeu5, on any folder as that would be global or do all your application open like that | 10:15 |
| Sagaci | Like ubuntu-restricted-extras | 10:15 |
| Zeu5 | Pirate_Hunter: right now i am using chatzilla and i also can see its edit, etc | 10:15 |
| codebrainz | maxwellian, it's just an easy way to install all the packages that make "ubuntu" in one "fictional" package | 10:15 |
| Zeu5 | Pirate_Hunter: only filezilla apparently is missing the file edit.etc | 10:15 |
| Sagaci | Pretty good hack | 10:16 |

| matt____ | Good morning, If I'm trying to get a VGA analog display device to show picture through a DVI port (with an adapter), and am having problems detecting it with NVIDIA control panel in Ubuntu, is it most likely an xorg.conf issue? Thanks | 10:19 |
| prince_jammys | Taev: ah, and your system is identical in every way to the old working firefox except for firefox version? | 10:19 |
| crevillo | don't know it, let's try :) | 10:19 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Taev, most of the times you dont as it will replace the current version but you do need to delete the firefox folderhidden in home | 10:19 |
| crevillo | thanks codebrainz | 10:19 |
| Taev | i did Pirate_Hunter | 10:19 |
| codebrainz | crevillo, or epdf, both great | 10:19 |
| Taev | well i mv'ed it | 10:19 |
| maxwellian | Taev: Not only that, but the thousands of either people using that version just haven't noticed that their browser doesn't actually run. | 10:19 |
| Taev | ill delete it | 10:19 |

| maxwellian | Taev: Other, rather. | 10:20 |
| codebrainz | crevillo, yo | 10:20 |
| prince_jammys | Normally, you describe your problem and others provide solutions. You don't provide the solution yourself. | 10:20 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Zeu5, those would most likely be in /etc/filezilla or hidden in you ~/[your name]/.filezilla/... | 10:20 |
| codebrainz | midori to the rescue ! /sarcasm | 10:20 |
| eoke | matt____: A DVI to VGA adapter typically prevents your computer from collecting the EDID data from your monitor. The EDID data tells the computer the performance characteristics of the monitor. | 10:20 |

| Taev | I just deleted the .mozilla directory | 10:22 |
| Taev | and I did a complete removal of firefox | 10:22 |
| eoke | matt____: A work around I've used in the past is getting the EDID data using the nvidia-settings tool and then using a CustomEDID reference in the Xorg conf file. | 10:22 |
| matt____ | eoke: Oh, I never knew that. Do you know if it's possible to give the EDID data manually? | 10:22 |
| matt____ | eoke: Oh - thanks. I'll look into that. | 10:22 |
| Taev | now do the aptitude search firefox? | 10:23 |
| gryllida | Taev: yes | 10:23 |
| * prince_jammys giggles. | 10:23 | |
| eoke | matt____: I wasn't very clear sorry the nvidia-settings tool needs to be connected via DVI to save the EDID data to a file. | 10:23 |
| prince_jammys | let's try it fifteen times, maybe it works now. | 10:23 |
| Taev | which package should I install? firefox 2., firefox 3 | 10:23 |
| Taev | they say they are dummy packages | 10:23 |
| Taev | I want a version other than 3.6.6. | 10:24 |
| prince_jammys | you don't really know what you want. | 10:24 |
| prince_jammys | you want firefox to work, that's what you want. | 10:24 |
| Dr_Willis | i wonder if its a bad package/download. but it has checksums for that | 10:24 |
| codebrainz | Taev, apt-get --reinstall --purge install firefox, try that? | 10:24 |
| Sagaci | Try chromium | 10:24 |
| Taev | fine ill try that right now | 10:24 |
| prince_jammys | don't invent what the problem is | 10:24 |
| codebrainz | ah, the up arrow key | 10:24 |
| Dr_Willis | 3.6.6 is the default. so thast will put 3.6.6 back on | 10:25 |
| maxwellian | Dr_Willis: Why is it the default? I'm seeing articles from last week describing how to install 3.6.6 on Ubuntu. | 10:25 |
| Taev | i did it | 10:25 |
| Taev | it crashed again | 10:25 |

| Dr_Willis | maxwellian: i thought it was added to backports..but it seems they Updated main | 10:26 |
| codebrainz | Taev, have you run it from the terminal, to see what it's telling you is wrong? | 10:26 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sudo apt-get purge filezilla | 10:26 |

| matt____ | eoke: Sorry I don't understand fully... what do you mean nvidia-settings tool needs to be connected via DVI? Thanks | 10:26 |
| Taev | Look this shit only started when I updated to 3.6.6., so I want to install the previous package I had and see if it works | 10:27 |
| Taev | if it works then its 3.6.6. is buggy, if it doesn't it means its a problem with my system | 10:27 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Zeu5, your problem seems to be unique only one listing of it and that has got no response coincidently it might have been you asking in ubuntu forums | 10:27 |
| Taev | there has got to be a directory ubuntu keeps of all the files they include with a release | 10:27 |
| codebrainz | 3.6.6 works fine here :) | 10:27 |
| Taev | so you're saying it can't possibly be a buggy package, and that trying it my way is a waste of time? | 10:28 |
| Dr_Willis | codebrainz: which is why i wonder if his package is the issue.it may be currupted | 10:28 |
| Taev | because it works for your system... | 10:28 |
| Zeu5 | Pirate_Hunter: huh? i only posted my isssue in superuser. i did not post in ubuntu forums | 10:28 |
| eoke | matt____: The solution I've used in the past required me to connect the monitor to a DVI port initially, possibly on another machine altogether. Theres then an "Acquire EDID" button in nvidia-settings. This saves the EDID data to a file that you can then use when connecting via the VGA adapter. | 10:28 |
| codebrainz | Taev, you can see all the files with dpkg -s firefox | 10:28 |

| matt____ | eoke: I got it that time... I'll go try, thanks for your help. | 10:30 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Zeu5, if the samething happens try closing and running it from terminal it should tell you the problem | 10:30 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Zeu5, one sec | 10:30 |
| maxwellian | Taev: Dr_Willis put a link to that page up like ten minutes ago. But he wasn't able to do the downgrade, so I hope it works better for you. | 10:30 |
| prince_jammys | http://www.worldlingo.com/ma/enwiki/en/XY_problem is a nice page you can visit when you get firefox fixed. | 10:31 |
| Dr_Willis | maxwellian: i tried via synaptic. dident try teh .deb | 10:31 |
| maxwellian | Dr_Willis: Ah. | 10:31 |
| Dr_Willis | maxwellian: yes. he need to tell apt/aptitude to use the older version. | 10:31 |

| Pirate_Hunter | Zeu5, does terminall tell you anything | 10:33 |

| Dr_Willis | Pirate_Hunter: whatg issue? ive not seen any issues | 10:33 |

| prince_jammys | Taev: never mind, that's a bug for 'no-script' extension. | 10:37 |
| maxwellian | prince_jammys: Presumably he doesn't have any extensions, right? | 10:38 |
| Taev | so... it was a bug with 3.6.6.? | 10:38 |
| Taev | now how do I fix it? | 10:38 |
| prince_jammys | maxwellian: yes, just reinstalled. | 10:38 |
| prince_jammys | Taev: no, it's a mistake of mine. not a bug for you. it doesn mention cnn.com, coincidentally | 10:39 |
| Zeu5 | Pirate_Hunter: so what do i do now | 10:39 |
| eoke | bleah: You could try "echo 1 >/sys/class/video4linux/video0/vflip" | 10:39 |
| Zeu5 | ? | 10:39 |
| prince_jammys | *does | 10:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Taev: you could also try gettting the packages from antoehr source/repository - it could be the .deb you are downloaading has some issues. | 10:39 |
| Taev | Firefox crashes at cnn.com is the headline | 10:39 |
| Dr_Willis | I cant find any hits at all on the forums with ff 3.6.6 crashing | 10:39 |
| bleah | eoke i get error , no such fie or diredtory | 10:40 |
| Taev | It crashes only sometimes (simply shuts down with no message) when visiting certain sites such as www.cnn.com, I receive the following error message if starting Firefox through the console, running on Ubuntu 8.04: | 10:40 |
| Dr_Willis | and cnn.com is working here for 3.6.6 - and if its segfaulting theinstant it starts up.. i have to ask.. is cnn.com your homepage? | 10:40 |

| codebrainz | jan, easiest is to probably use python.. it has gnome bindings to all of this and excellent remote file stuff built-in | 10:45 |
| maxwellian | Taev: I don't understand how you ended up with 3.6.6 if that's the case. | 10:45 |

| Zeu5 | Pirate_Hunter: all i can say is that i have to live with using Alt keys | 10:48 |
| maxwellian | Taev: Because you reinstalled, supposedly. You woudln't have it by default. | 10:48 |
| codebrainz | bleah, i can only recommend using xawtv package to see if it works | 10:48 |
| Taev | ah | 10:49 |
| Taev | ok | 10:49 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Zeu5, try reading the man pages might give you a clue and are you sing the default theme(s) or a metacity/ruby/cmpiz version try taking those off | 10:49 |
| maxwellian | Taev: But frankly I wouldn't at all be surprised if you do have it, and several other extensions, and neglected to mention it. | 10:49 |
| Taev | so how do I disable flash on firefox | 10:49 |
| eoke | Taev: Tools > Addons > Plugins | 10:49 |
| Sagaci | Taev: install wine and run IE6 through it. It may be better than your current situation | 10:49 |

| Taev | so thats your solution, not use flash? | 10:54 |
| Taev | i guess thats not a bug, its a random programing feature | 10:54 |
| codebrainz | michal|3s, look for the hdd-image (i know debian has it) | 10:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Taev: write a dirty letter to adobe. Its a bug in flash i would say | 10:55 |
| maxwellian | Taev: You disabled one, and you're using the other one? | 10:55 |
| Pirate_Hunter | michal|3s, dont think why not considering ubuntu supports network install however you may want to look into that as long as you can point it to the usb it shouldn't be a problem | 10:55 |
| codebrainz | michal|3s, then you just zcat it to the usb disk | 10:55 |
| Taev | shockwave flash 9.0 r277 enabled works and shockwave flash movie player verison 0.4.12 enabled crashes firefox | 10:55 |
| michal|3s | that would be idea (hdd-image) | 10:55 |
| Pirate_Hunter | michal|3s, by the way did you try plop did it work as it stated on the site at least did it detect the usb? | 10:55 |

| Pirate_Hunter | michal|3s, what is the error you're getting | 10:57 |
| eoke | Taev: That sounds about right I'm just not sure what the movie player plugin you had is or where it came from. | 10:57 |
| michal|3s | Pirate_Hunter: one second... | 10:57 |
| Taev | its got to be the flash plugin i installed 2 years ago | 10:57 |
| maxwellian | Taev: Yes, you have a two year old flash plugin. | 10:57 |
| Taev | never mind the fact that all this started when I updated to 3.6.6. | 10:57 |
| maxwellian | Taev: And a new flash plugin which probably came with 3.6.6. | 10:58 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Taev, but you managed to not tell that to anyone | 10:58 |
| Taev | no one asked | 10:58 |
| Taev | if I knew it was a flash problem, i wouldn't have had to come here | 10:58 |

| Dr_Willis | maxwellian: i thought i saw a new flash in the updates also. | 11:00 |
| Taev | yeah the fact that the problem started when i installed firefox 3.6.6, that wouldn't lead anyone to believe it was the new firefox | 11:00 |
| Pirate_Hunter | codebrainz, and apparently you would pay 4.50 an hour for support hmmm I dont think it is worth it unless I get my demands | 11:01 |
| prince_jammys | Taev: now that you have firefox working, you can visit that nice link i left for you. | 11:01 |
| Taev | none of you knew the solution either. | 11:01 |
| Dr_Willis | i saw about 20 updates yesterday including firefox and flash | 11:01 |
| Taev | except whoever found that site | 11:01 |
| tsooi | I used a script on ubuntu forums, I think the script installed the 32bit adobe flash player, and removed some other stuff automatically | 11:01 |
| Taev | with the problem detailed on it | 11:01 |
| gryllida | Taev: I wasn't watching, sorry, how did you solve the issue? or didn't you? what did you try? | 11:01 |
| codebrainz | Pirate_Hunter, full dental, medical, 3 weeks vacation | 11:01 |
| maxwellian | Taev: That site was a coincidence. | 11:01 |
| eoke | Taev: Did you say you were on Ubuntu 8.10 | 11:01 |
| Dalton | bonjour quelqu'un peut-il me dire comment joindre le reseaux de ubuntu en fr | 11:01 |
| prince_jammys | Taev: solution to what? wasting too much time answering "how to downgrade firefox?" You didn't even give the reasons for this until _I_ extracted them from you. | 11:01 |
| Taev | that link you posted, those people had the same problem I had, they upgraded to 3.6.6. on Ubuntu 8.04 | 11:01 |
| Taev | and sites with flash crashed firefox | 11:02 |
| gryllida | !fr | Dalton | 11:02 |
| ubottu | Dalton: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. | 11:02 |
| Taev | so I disabled flash | 11:02 |
| prince_jammys | meh. | 11:02 |
| prince_jammys | lemme test this irc command here. | 11:02 |
| Taev | oh christ you asked me the same questions how many times | 11:02 |
| tsooi | I also use a flash blocker to not load all flash files, so I open flash files selectively. | 11:02 |
| codebrainz | Dalton, essayer #ubuntu-qc | 11:02 |
| oCean_ | Taev: watch your language in this channel | 11:02 |
| gryllida | Taev: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/The+Adobe+Flash+plugin+has+crashed | 11:02 |
| Pirate_Hunter | codebrainz, hmmm I lift one eyebrow that 3 week vacation does seem interesting but.... | 11:02 |
| Taev | did I run firefox in the terminal, yes, did i run it in safe mode yes, what did it say, seg fault, do this purge, do this install -reinstall --purge | 11:02 |
| Taev | I did everything you asked, and answered every question | 11:02 |
| Taev | gryllida, solved it | 11:03 |
| codebrainz | Pirate_Hunter, we have a good coffee maker!? | 11:03 |
| gryllida | Taev: how? | 11:03 |
| * Dr_Willis fell asleep | 11:03 | |
| Taev | that link | 11:03 |
| gryllida | what link? | 11:03 |
| Taev | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mozilla-noscript/+bug/231769 | 11:03 |
| gryllida | ok | 11:03 |
| prince_jammys | Taev: i never asked you the same question twice. i never suggested any of those things. i began to ask for symptoms, but you quickly reverted to "how do i downgrade firefox to a version that doesn't suck?" | 11:03 |
| Pirate_Hunter | codebrainz, you won me over :D but im joining the union just encase | 11:03 |
| maxwellian | gryllida: Please note that the bug is filed under NoScript. | 11:03 |
| gryllida | prince_jammys, Taev, issue solved, relax :) | 11:03 |
| Taev | i gave you the symptoms, firefox would crash saying segfault | 11:04 |
| prince_jammys | fooll | 11:04 |
| Taev | I can't give you any other symptoms if there aren't any | 11:04 |
| codebrainz | Pirate_Hunter, no dice, otherwise I'll outsource your ass in a hurry | 11:04 |
| oCean_ | codebrainz: please stay on topic | 11:04 |
| eoke | Let's go back to loving one another, it's not worth arguing folks. | 11:04 |
| codebrainz | oCean_, yes mother | 11:04 |
| Taev | you had zero impact on solving this issue | 11:04 |
| Pirate_Hunter | people relax problem has been solved at least we learned an important lesson which has a good moral, I just can't think of it right now but it is there | 11:04 |
| Taev | it was gryllida, Pirate_Hunter, Dr_Willis and sorry if I forgot anyone | 11:05 |
| prince_jammys | the questioner didn't learn jack. | 11:05 |
| Pirate_Hunter | codebrainz, no union :( I will have to think about it | 11:05 |
| Taev | that I should have magically known that by firefox crashing and saying segfault that there is a bug with 3.6.6. + flash + ubuntu 8.04 ? | 11:05 |
| spiky_ | Pirate_Hunter>keptme ammused | 11:06 |
| Taev | thats a bit of a stretch. | 11:06 |
| Pirate_Hunter | codebrainz, nah not worth it without the union and they are picky about their coffee | 11:06 |
| * Dr_Willis totally missed the 8.04 part | 11:06 | |
| codebrainz | Pirate_Hunter, I've been censored ... /muted | 11:06 |
| oCean_ | Pirate_Hunter: drop it, stay on topic | 11:06 |
| Taev | Bug 231769 to be exact. | 11:06 |
| maxwellian | Taev: That is NOT your bug. | 11:06 |
| gryllida | codebrainz: ? | 11:06 |
| Pirate_Hunter | spiky_, if your talking about the recent problem and not me being able to get away with an offtopic conversation than yeah it kept everyone amused | 11:06 |
| maxwellian | Taev: If nothing else, please do not go away thinking that is your bug. | 11:07 |
| michal|3s | Pirate_Hunter: interesting. i've put installer on the usb. it boots, says 'gfxmode unknown keyword' and the screen goes black | 11:07 |
| michal|3s | Pirate_Hunter: i can pres esc, and if i'm fast enough i can get the boot menu | 11:07 |
| Taev | so... ignoring the fact that those people had the same exact problem, with the same exact version of firefox, with the same exact version of ubuntu, and the same solution worked for me | 11:07 |
| Taev | Right I can see how that could mislead some one | 11:07 |
| michal|3s | Pirate_Hunter: than i have a choice. well, let's try 'live-install' | 11:07 |
| codebrainz | gryllida, this is the Canonical's support channel, yada yada | 11:07 |
| Pirate_Hunter | michal|3s, hmmm is that when using plop, f so you might want to search online or check if they got a forum and ask their | 11:08 |
| maxwellian | Taev: That bug was for NoScript, and extension which you don't have. | 11:08 |
| Taev | perhaps the bug is more inclusive that just having Noscript | 11:08 |
| xiaogui | Mikechelen: i still couldn't delete "Places". The main menu only has "Applications " and "System" options, since i can't even find the "Places" option, i failed to delete it. Sorry , i'm a newbie here... | 11:08 |
| michal|3s | Pirate_Hunter: nah, that's what i get using normal syslinux | 11:08 |
| maxwellian | Taev: Absolutely, that could be. But you have no idea if that's the case. | 11:08 |
| maxwellian | Taev: It's those kinds of leaps in reasoning that have caused you so much trouble. | 11:08 |
| Taev | no what caused me the trouble was when adept updated to the new firefox | 11:08 |
| maxwellian | Taev: The fact is that you were trying to run a two-year-old version of Flash alongside a brand new one. | 11:09 |
| michal|3s | Pirate_Hunter: squashfs_error, etc | 11:09 |
| Taev | Im sure adept updated it | 11:09 |
| maxwellian | Taev: Yes, that's right. | 11:09 |
| Taev | and I did install the newest version of adobe flash 10 like that readme suggested | 11:09 |
| maxwellian | Taev: There's nothing wrong with having a new version of Flash. There MAY be a problem with trying to simultaneously run a two-year-old version. | 11:10 |
| maxwellian | Taev: Does that part at least make sense? | 11:10 |
| Pirate_Hunter | michal|3s, weird I thought with plop if you're using it you wouldn't have needed syslinux etc to boot the usb it would've just picked up the iso file, hmmm tell me how it goes if you manage right a tutorial for me to follow, I'll bookmark it until I can get my hand on an old machine | 11:10 |
| Taev | I said I installed Flash 2 years ago. You know damn well adept package manager installs updates for your installed packages when they come out | 11:10 |
| gryllida | Taev, what did you do to solve the issue? Clean reinstall or something else? | 11:10 |
| Pirate_Hunter | michal|3s, right > write | 11:10 |
| Taev | i disabled shockwave flash movie player | 11:10 |
| michal|3s | Pirate_Hunter: plop can pick iso? | 11:11 |
| codebrainz | michal|3s, have you checked your ISO? | 11:11 |
| michal|3s | nice | 11:11 |
| maxwellian | gryllida: He had two Flash plugins. | 11:11 |
| michal|3s | codebrainz: that's what i'm doing now | 11:11 |
| maxwellian | gryllida: He disabled the much older one. | 11:11 |
| Pirate_Hunter | michal|3s, it stated on the site it makes the usb pickup as a hd so I would've thought so | 11:11 |
| codebrainz | michal|3s, good choice, sounds fishy | 11:11 |
| maxwellian | Taev: I'm not blaming you for the way your machine was set up, you're right that it's supposed to keep itself updated. | 11:11 |
| gryllida | Taev: maxwellian: try to understand why it wasn't auto removed while installing the newer one, and don't worry about the other stuff. | 11:11 |
| Taev | No I had "shockwave flash 9.0 r277 and shockwave flash movie player verison 0.4.12 " | 11:11 |
| gryllida | Taev, now, try to understand why the older one wasn't removed when installing 9.0 version. | 11:12 |
| Pirate_Hunter | michal|3s, if it is fooling the machine to pick up the usb as a hd shouldn't it react like one? but than I ahvent tested it myself, | 11:12 |
| Crucible | Looking for help on an issue, had a 10.4 desktop running and encrypted two sata drives with the integrated disk manager, the HD running the desktop gave out and now I'm trying to figure out how to mount the 2 drives in my ubuntu server 10.4. Any help is greatly appreciated! | 11:12 |
| maxwellian | gryllida: How was he able to get 3.6.6 in the first place? | 11:12 |
| gryllida | IDK, never seen such phenomenon, though have taken 200+ support requests. | 11:12 |
| Taev | Adept | 11:12 |
| Taev | I regularly update my system. | 11:12 |
| gryllida | maxwellian: from the repo? spt-get update firefox | 11:13 |
| gryllida | 3.6.6 is in there already | 11:13 |
| michal|3s | E:\>openssl md5 ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso | 11:13 |

| maxwellian | gryllida: He's running 8.04. | 11:13 |
| codebrainz | Taev, which ubuntu version again? | 11:13 |
| michal|3s | 3e0f72becd63cad79bf784ac2b34b448 | 11:13 |
| michal|3s | ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso | 11:13 |
| michal|3s | (from the site) | 11:13 |
| gryllida | maxwellian: whihc is same repo, isn't it? | 11:13 |
| michal|3s | seems to be ok :) | 11:13 |
| FloodBot1 | michal|3s: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 11:13 |
| eoke | Crucible: What do you mean by integrated disk manager? | 11:13 |
| DJ_BqlGazaRrR | hello friends | 11:13 |
| prince_jammys | maxwellian: maybe by screwing with sources.list | 11:13 |
| Pirate_Hunter | maxehow can they be running 8.04 are you saying backports is enabled? | 11:14 |
| DJ_BqlGazaRrR | can anyone help me | 11:14 |
| michal|3s | codebrainz: so my iso looks ok | 11:14 |
| gryllida | hi DJ_BqlGazaRrR | 11:14 |
| gryllida | DJ_BqlGazaRrR, help with what? | 11:14 |
| Crucible | the disk manager that comes bundled with the ubuntu desktop | 11:14 |
| gryllida | !md5 > michal|3s | 11:14 |
| ubottu | michal|3s, please see my private message | 11:14 |
| DJ_BqlGazaRrR | i want to remove graphic manager from my ubuntu 10.04 | 11:14 |
| codebrainz | michal|3s, did you do a md5sum -c on it? | 11:14 |
| Taev | so how do I fix the issue with Shockwave Flash Movie player? | 11:14 |
| maxwellian | Pirate_Hunter: I'm not saying anything of the sort. | 11:14 |
| DJ_BqlGazaRrR | i want only console mod for my web server, How to? | 11:14 |
| maxwellian | Taev: You can watch flash, right? | 11:14 |
| Taev | or do I just not use it until they come out with a new version of firefox | 11:14 |
| michal|3s | codebrainz: openssl md5 (it is windows ;) | 11:14 |
| gryllida | Taev: just remove the older one, its path should be seen at about:plugins | 11:14 |
| maxwellian | Taev: Did you watch a Youtube video? | 11:14 |
| DJ_BqlGazaRrR | apt-get --purge remove gdm? | 11:14 |
| joshmuffin | sdoin | 11:15 |
| codebrainz | DJ_BqlGazaRrR, easiest is to use the server or alternate CD to install a cli only version | 11:15 |
| Taev | they are 2 separate plugins gryllida | 11:15 |
| codebrainz | michal|3s, i have no idea about windows | 11:15 |
| michal|3s | codebrainz: well, openssl works great here | 11:15 |
| gryllida | Taev: get rid of the older one, find its path at about:plugins | 11:15 |
| Taev | "hockwave flash 9.0 r277 and shockwave flash movie player verison 0.4.12 " | 11:15 |
| maxwellian | gryllida: He's already disabled it, why take it any further? | 11:15 |
| gryllida | Taev: "about:plugins" is an URL | 11:15 |
| Taev | There is no "older" one, they are 2 separate plugins | 11:15 |
| codebrainz | michal|3s, if you have a *real* shell, it shouldn't matter | 11:15 |
| michal|3s | codebrainz: i think i will md5 check the squashfs on the pendrive vs the one from iso | 11:15 |
| gryllida | maxwellian: he's having it disabled, obviously wants to uninstall, as I see from the lines I am getting. | 11:16 |
| maxwellian | Taev: Before you do anything, can you watch a Youtube video? | 11:16 |
| codebrainz | michal|3s, md5sum -c will verify the iso you downloaded isn't corrupt compared to the file on the server | 11:16 |
| gryllida | Taev: maxwellian means, could you test that your flash is working ok now? | 11:16 |
| codebrainz | michal|3s, the .iso contains the squashfs root filesystem | 11:16 |
| DJ_BqlGazaRrR | hm if i reinstal my ubuntu i will lost my works | 11:16 |
| michal|3s | codebrainz: yes, and the md5 says my iso is ok | 11:16 |
| Crucible | eoke, the disk manager that comes bundled with the ubuntu desktop | 11:17 |
| michal|3s | codebrainz: but than during boot i get info about squashfs corrupted | 11:17 |
| Taev | No. | 11:17 |
| Taev | the video just stays black | 11:17 |
| codebrainz | michal|3s, might be worth doing a 'badblocks /dev/YourBootDisk' | 11:17 |
| maxwellian | Taev: Okay, so the only thing that's better now is that it's not crashing? | 11:17 |
| Taev | it says you need to update adobe | 11:18 |
| Taev | i already did | 11:18 |
| Ek|mu5 | Hello all, quick question: What's better (all things considered) to parse files of uniform format in C++, using the byte stream via pointer arithmetic or regular expressions? | 11:18 |
| Pirate_Hunter | michal|3s, im going away for a bit be back in 30min or so | 11:18 |
| Taev | i have adobe flash 10 | 11:18 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Taev, at least you solved one problem | 11:18 |

| michal|3s | codebrainz: ha! squashfs on the pendrive and iso is different! | 11:19 |
| codebrainz | Ek|mu5, it's SO off topic, but best is a lib that can parse your type of files :) | 11:19 |

| Dr_Willis | ubuntufreak: you may not evne want a /boot/ | 11:24 |
| maxwellian | Taev: Can you explain the gplflash thing first? | 11:24 |
| neurochrome | Dr_Willis, I want to popup a message for my gf ;) | 11:24 |
| maxwellian | Taev: Is that a website you went to? | 11:24 |
| alex88 | Dr_Willis: so you can boot a live cd from grub? | 11:24 |
| codebrainz | michal|3s, good stuff... | 11:24 |
| Taev | no | 11:24 |
| freedom | aaaa how? | 11:24 |
| Dr_Willis | neurochrome: theres some samba tool that can do that. but i cant recall its name. its not installed by default. | 11:24 |
| freedom | i'm anew in ubuntu | 11:24 |
| Taev | I install everything from synaptic | 11:24 |
| Ek|mu5 | codebrainz, yeah, doing a little port from native C to C++/CLI. Parsing algo already exists in the byte stream pointer arithmetic method. Was wondering if changing to regex is better performance and readability wise | 11:24 |
| Dr_Willis | neurochrome: use 'beep' and make the pc beep out morse code. | 11:24 |
| vishnu | hi,i have installed ubuntu inside windows and have all my files and folders here... now, i want to install UBUNTU fully... but i want my files and folders in virtual to shift to the real one.. how can i do that.. plz help.. | 11:25 |
| codebrainz | Ek|mu5, ok, pm me | 11:25 |
| ubuntufreak | Dr_Willis: Whats the advantage of having a separate /boot ? | 11:25 |
| ohir | alex88: you can use it as long as you do not try to hide source code of something that tou lifted from linux (or other GPL licensed apps) | 11:25 |
| Dr_Willis | neurochrome: or record your voice and send it to her speakers | 11:25 |
| joshmuffin | !women | shouldnt-they-be-in-the-kitchen | 11:25 |

| freedom | i'm new in ubuntu can you tell more how where to go | 11:25 |
| neurochrome | Dr_Willis, lol, if she knew morse that'd be ideal! | 11:25 |
| maxwellian | Taev: Okay, so why did you mention that url? | 11:25 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntufreak: i keep iso files there for a rescue boot. and grub wont vanish if i delete the ubuntu partitions | 11:25 |
| alex88 | ohir: np, i'll use it only for internet navigation and to run virtualized application on the server | 11:25 |
| oCean_ | Ek|mu5: maybe you should find a more appropriate channel for asking programming questions | 11:25 |
| maxwellian | Taev: Is that the name of the bad version in Synaptic? | 11:25 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntufreak: i set up a grub entry to boot the ubuntu.iso friom grub as a 'emergancy rescue mode' :) | 11:25 |
| ohir | alex88: in which case and at this very moment you lose your licensee rights | 11:26 |
| freedom | ?????????? | 11:26 |
| Taev | because the plug in thats causing firefox to crash's homepage is gplflash.sf.net | 11:26 |
| Taev | its a SWF player | 11:26 |
| alex88 | ohir: what you mean? | 11:26 |
| ohir | alex88: its perfect valid use | 11:26 |
| freedom | o.k. thanx | 11:26 |
| Taev | they ahve something to do with gnash | 11:26 |
| Taev | and i have gnash installed | 11:26 |
| ubuntufreak | Dr_Willis: That is in case if your Ubuntu system breaks right ? | 11:26 |
| Dr_Willis | Taev: you dont want gnash and flash both installed normally | 11:26 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntufreak: yep. or i want to test out some live cd's | 11:26 |
| neurochrome | Dr_Willis, is there a way to remotely make use of the notifications system? | 11:26 |
| Dr_Willis | neurochrome: not that ive noticed. there might be. but ive never tried it | 11:26 |

| EricFisher | Hello, does irc.ubunbu.com and irc.freenode.com refer to same one? I created the channel on irc.ubuntu.com. I'm not sure if it is refer to freenode. But I can join the channel on webcat.freenode.net. But on ubuntu machine, I must use the server irc.ubuntu.com instead of irc.freenode.com. I'm confused by these. | 11:27 |
| ohir | alex88: so ubuntu is good choice. It comes with anything SOHO might need | 11:27 |
| joshmuffin | <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about womensrights | 11:27 |

| ohir | alex88: yes. | 11:28 |
| Taev | yeah i installed it as part of 1 of the solutions on that bug page | 11:28 |
| ubuntufreak | Dr_Willis: That sounds cool too, may be i could go with 4gb-/boot, 40gb-/, 8gb-swap, remaining-/home will that be good ? | 11:28 |

| Taev | that gplflash | 11:28 |
| maxwellian | Taev: Okay, that's good to know. | 11:29 |

| superikaro | hi, im having a problem with my laptop, its heat a lot, more than when i use windows vista, i guess, coolers are not working. thanks | 11:29 |
| maxwellian | Taev: Do you remember when you got that gplflash thing? | 11:29 |
| Taev | and i cant install the newest version of gplflash because it gives me an error when i ./configure it | 11:29 |
| Taev | can't find X11 development files | 11:29 |
| Taev | No. | 11:29 |
| Taev | but i installed it through synaptic | 11:29 |
| alex88 | ohir: thank you for your help..gtg now.. have a nice time :) | 11:29 |
| maxwellian | Taev: The whole ./configure business is for installing from source. | 11:29 |
| PiKeyPL | superikaro: Try to read about laptop-mode. It could help. What's Your laptop model? | 11:29 |
| Dr_Willis | vishnu: ive seen guides on converting a wubi install to a normal install.. but ive never used wubi. so dont know anything about doing it. | 11:30 |
| maxwellian | Taev: You don't want to do that unless you have to. | 11:30 |
| maxwellian | Taev: Usually, the packages you get through Synaptic are fine. | 11:30 |
| Taev | GPL Flash (SWF) Library - shared library | 11:30 |
| Taev | thats it | 11:30 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntufreak: you need 8gb swap? :) if you are going to use hibernate/suspend you want swap = at least your ram. | 11:30 |
| superikaro | PiKeyPL, m505-s4945 toshiba satellite | 11:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Taev: ./configure? You are trying to compuild gplflash? | 11:30 |
| maxwellian | Taev: K, hold on, let me look that up. | 11:30 |
| vishnu | Dr_Willis, oh ok ok.. do u hav any idea of whom should i contact to get a solution in this regard?? | 11:30 |
| ubuntufreak | Dr_Willis: I have 4GB ram so i thought double of it would do good | 11:31 |
| Taev | yeah i was trying to install the newest version of gplflash | 11:31 |
| Taev | i thought that might fix the problem | 11:31 |
| Dr_Willis | vishnu: ive seen guides when i googled on wubi ages ago about scripts/ways to convert a wubi install to a full install. check google and the fourms. i would suggest you use the wubi setip and Backup anything imporntant FIRST befor you mess with it | 11:31 |
| student | 有人會講國語嗎？ | 11:31 |
| EricFisher | 我会 | 11:31 |
| Dr_Willis | vishnu: i think its also possible to do a normal install. Then access the files on teh wubi install. but ive never done that either | 11:31 |

| ubottu | vishnu: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 11:33 |
| maxwellian | Taev: But you already have the Flash player, so you don't need it. | 11:33 |
| vishnu | ubottu, yeah.. i m familiar wid it.., dude :) | 11:33 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 11:33 |
| maxwellian | Taev: gplflash or gnash are for people who don't want to use Adobe Flash. | 11:34 |
| neurochrome | Dr_Willis, I think I can utilise notify-send to do this... ;) | 11:34 |
| Taev | alright ill uninstall it | 11:34 |
| vishnu | abhi_nav, hi,i have installed ubuntu inside windows and have all my files and folders here... now, i want to install UBUNTU fully... but i want my files and folders in virtual to shift to the real one.. how can i do that.. plz help.. | 11:34 |

| Vbitz | why would this be happening | 11:35 |
| Taev | everything works perfectly now | 11:35 |
| maxwellian | Taev: Really? You can play movies? | 11:35 |
| Taev | apparently the version I had has a bug with firefox 3.6.6. when its installed with adobe's flash | 11:35 |
| PiKeyPL | superikaro: I don't know anything about this model. | 11:35 |
| codebrainz | Taev, BACKUP NOW!!! | 11:35 |
| Taev | yeah | 11:35 |
| maxwellian | Taev: Awesome. | 11:36 |
| abhi_nav | vishnu, just back it in your pen drive? | 11:36 |
| ubuntufreak | Dr_Willis, Can i partition based on this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DiskSpace#Separate%20/boot ? | 11:36 |
| Taev | yeah apparently it wasn't an issue until i updated to 3.6.6 | 11:36 |
| raven_ | waltop tablet: cursor does not move any more after tapping with the pen - any ideas? | 11:36 |
| Taev | 3.6.6. didn't like having 2 SWF players | 11:36 |
| Taev | and crashed when ever one was engaged | 11:36 |
| superikaro | PiKeyPL, thanks | 11:36 |
| superikaro | hi, im having a problem with my laptop, its heat a lot, more than when i use windows vista, i guess, coolers are not working. thanks | 11:36 |
| vishnu | abhi_nav, is there any better alternative.. i want my packages too... | 11:36 |
| maxwellian | Taev: 3.6.6 probably brought a newer Adobe too. | 11:36 |
| Taev | well Im just happy its working now | 11:37 |
| maxwellian | Taev: Me too. | 11:37 |

| maxwellian | Taev: For future reference, I made a lot of assumptions in this process. | 11:37 |
| Taev | I, however, am unhappy that I smoked all my cigarettes because I was so aggravated. | 11:37 |
| Taev | lol. | 11:37 |
| vishnu | abhi_nav, i can back my files.. but packages?? how to go about? | 11:37 |
| codebrainz | superikaro, ask about cpufreq and acpi | 11:37 |
| maxwellian | Taev: I assumed you were using latest Ubuntu, and I assumed Firefox was crashing when you started up. | 11:37 |
| maxwellian | Taev: It turned out to be important that those assumptions were wrong. | 11:38 |

| GArReT | Hey peepz... I'm new to ubuntu... But where do i find the excutable and configure files if i've downloaded and installed something via the package manager? | 12:06 |
| MikeChelen | xiaogui: it seems not without keeping the rest of the menu the same | 12:06 |
| airtonix | GArReT, locate <name-of-program> | 12:07 |
| MikeChelen | err *while keeping the rest the same | 12:07 |
| abhi_nav | this is not your answer but as you said new to ubuntu, read this: | 12:07 |

| ubottu | GArReT, please see my private message | 12:07 |
| GArReT | Thank you abatoo :) | 12:08 |
| oCean_ | GArReT: if you want to list all files in a package, use: dpkg -L <packagename" | 12:08 |

| airtonix | ^ first result. | 12:09 |
| xiaogui | :( I prefer to put "Computer" icon where i can find all my files on desktop. That's the why i don't wanna "Places" in the Menu bar. But many thanks still, thanks for all your efforts. :D | 12:10 |

| fedeviola | how I take a screenshot? | 12:22 |
| spiky_ | fedeviola: print screen | 12:22 |
| abhi_nav | alt +printscreen | 12:23 |
| opij | what are the services that are running that causes ubuntu to take up 400mb of RAM while idle? | 12:23 |
| opij | and how can i reduce them? | 12:23 |
| NigelS | fedeviola, or Applications-->Accessories-->Take Screenshot for more options | 12:23 |
| IStorm | Yea, opij, that's what I'd like to know as well, though I installed xubuntu to begin with. | 12:24 |
| fedeviola | thanks!! | 12:24 |
| maxwellian | MaT-dg: Check out www.bluez.org | 12:24 |
| bcuraboy | evora | 12:25 |
| maxwellian | MaT-dg: And in Synaptic, download the 'bluetooth' package. It will get you the software you need, which has some documentation on www.bluez.org. | 12:25 |
| kevinphp | anybody has a gedit-folding plugin? | 12:25 |

| bcuraboy | hi | 12:25 |
| kevinphp | hi | 12:25 |
| erry | Can you help me get a WPN111 card work? | 12:26 |
| wolfie_ | Anyone know how I can get .exe's to work | 12:26 |
| erry | It recof | 12:26 |
| erry | recognises the device, lists networks, but won't get an IP | 12:26 |
| opij | wolfie_: try wine | 12:26 |
| erry | :( | 12:26 |
| maxwellian | !wine | wolfie_ | 12:26 |
| ubottu | wolfie_: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 12:26 |
| wolfie_ | wine won't work. | 12:26 |
| maxwellian | wolfie_: Why not? | 12:27 |
| kevinphp | maybe you need some dlls | 12:27 |
| IStorm | wolfie_ : Were they written for Linux or Windows? | 12:27 |
| wolfie_ | Windows. | 12:27 |
| abhi_nav | ?????? | 12:27 |
| opij | ? | 12:27 |
| abhi_nav | .exe is written for win only? or not? | 12:27 |
| opij | yeah, i thought .exe was windows only | 12:28 |
| maxwellian | abhi_nav: There's nothing preventing someone from creating a Linux program with a .exe extension. | 12:28 |
| IStorm | Wolfie_: my advice is to get a pc, and install windows on it. | 12:28 |
| wolfie_ | God dammit | 12:28 |
| erry | hello/? :( | 12:28 |
| IStorm | It happens | 12:28 |
| maxwellian | abhi_nav: I've never seen it, but I guess it's possible. :P | 12:28 |
| maxwellian | wolfie_: Why dosn't WINE work? | 12:28 |
| abhi_nav | maxwellian, I dont think. apart from legal issue there is compatibility issue. | 12:29 |
| wolfie_ | Error messadges | 12:29 |
| wolfie_ | I try to run a program and i get hit with a bunch of error messages | 12:29 |
| maxwellian | wolfie_: Have you looked up that program on the Wine page? | 12:29 |
| oCean_ | wolfie_: watch your language in this channel please | 12:30 |
| wolfie_ | Yes and it says its compatable. | 12:30 |
| opij | wolfie_: if there's a bunch of error messages, i would google them, and/or post them on a forum and/or pastebin them here | 12:30 |
| IStorm | Emulation is dicey at best, and you'll ALWAYS be burning extra machine code and RAM in the process. | 12:30 |

| maxwellian | wolfie_: What are you trying to run? | 12:31 |
| MaT-dg | maxwellian: searched google but no luck so far, I'll check out bluez thx | 12:31 |
| abhi_nav | maxwellian, if it was possible there could not be any need for 'wine'? | 12:31 |
| wolfie_ | Alright then I'll see if there are an other updates for wine that i haven't installed | 12:31 |
| wolfie_ | see ya | 12:31 |
| maxwellian | abhi_nav: Certainly, programs compiled for Windows will not run on Linux by themselves. | 12:31 |
| abhi_nav | hmm | 12:31 |
| opij | why is the total number of nicks here so low? | 12:32 |
| IStorm | wolfie_ : Is it some small utility, or are you trying to run a game or something serious like that? | 12:32 |
| maxwellian | abhi_nav: I can easily create a Linux program with an extension .exe, though. | 12:32 |
| biopyte | how can i get rid of "plugin-container", once and forever? this piece of crap is eating up the CPU. | 12:32 |
| maxwellian | abhi_nav: Or he might have just been referring to how to run executable programs on Linux in general. | 12:32 |
| abhi_nav | maxwellian, i m not getting your point | 12:32 |
| syssan | Is there a way to change the remote desktop-password from the terminal? | 12:33 |
| maxwellian | abhi_nav: I made the same assumption you did, but IStorm did ask a valid question. | 12:33 |
| abhi_nav | may be | 12:33 |
| IStorm | maxwellian : At first, I wondered as well if he was just talking about a chmod situation or something. My first unix executable was a.out . LOL | 12:35 |

| Dr_Willis | disharmony: i blacklisted the fbmodule, and disabled teh plymouth and console service. that was doing some tweaking to the console also. | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | disharmony: its worked on 2 of my machines just fine so far. I dont know what will happen if i have to fsck at boot.. not seen any messages about that yet. :0 | 12:41 |
| IStorm | disharmony : do you know if GDM is running or not? Can you hotkey hmmmm, what is it, alt-f2? | 12:41 |
| disharmony | Dr_Willis: ok this is nice, but this requieres a working installation in the first place, right ? | 12:41 |
| maxwellian | Guest77041: You're trying to log in to your Ubuntu machine from another machine? | 12:41 |
| Dr_Willis | disharmony: you cant even get to the console? theres the 'text' option you can use to force it to a text mode. that wont even start GDM | 12:42 |
| disharmony | IStorm: I can't switch to tty1 for example (ctrl-alt-f1 or f2 doesn't seem to work) | 12:42 |
| Guest77041 | maxwellian: yes | 12:42 |
| maxwellian | erry: Can you walk me through how you set up your WPN111? Did you have to use ndiswrapper? | 12:42 |
| maxwellian | Guest77041: Are these machines on the same network? | 12:42 |

| Guest77041 | maxwellian: yah, im actually logged in remotely through ssh, but it only workes after i logged in locally in the first place | 12:43 |

| erry | the led of my device is blinking | 12:44 |

| maxwellian | erry: You're doing this on a LiveCD? | 12:44 |
| erry | yes | 12:44 |
| matteo1990 | aeon-ltd, In eadphones i can hear music! | 12:44 |
| disharmony | Dr_Willis: yep, even with text it seems to be swithcing to "some" graphics mode, or perhaps it's loading the nvidia driver which might screw things up | 12:44 |

| aeon-ltd | matteo1990: yeah so check alsamixer again | 12:44 |

| aeon-ltd | matteo1990: all outputs are separated not collated | 12:45 |
| maxwellian | erry: I've never booted from a LiveCD, but wouldn't you have to go through the ndiswrapper step again if you rebooted? I don't think it's going to save changes to the CD? | 12:45 |
| erry | maxwellian, no :p | 12:45 |
| erry | maxwellian, it doesnt save | 12:45 |

| jelly-one | Hello! Is firefox / xulrunner-1.9.1 in 9.10 affected by CVE-2010-1201 CVE-2010-0183 CVE-2008-5913? I see no security update for xulrunner-1.9.1 since March 31st. | 12:49 |
| maxwellian | erry: Well obviously you've taken a step backward, unfortunately. Are you sure you followed the steps correctly the second time? | 12:49 |
| erry | maxwellian, well i cant follow the sudo ndiswrapper load_fw_ar5523 /etc/ndiswrapper/netwpn111/ar5523.bin | 12:49 |
| erry | maxwellian, it doesnt have that command | 12:50 |
| aeon-ltd | jelly-one: pleases wait for firefox branding to take place | 12:50 |
| maxwellian | erry: Doesn't have which command? | 12:50 |
| erry | maxwellian, load_fw_ | 12:50 |
| jelly-one | aeon-ltd, can I assume that's a "yes", then? | 12:50 |
| maxwellian | erry: So how did you do it the first time? I thought you said you followed the guide? | 12:51 |
| aeon-ltd | jelly-one: yeah unless your using bleeding edge distros branding takes about 1 month, i'm on arch we got 3.6.6 less than 1 day from release | 12:51 |
| erry | maxwellian, yes, except for that step | 12:51 |
| maxwellian | erry: So both times, you skipped that step, and the second time it didn't work? | 12:52 |
| erry | maxwellian, yea | 12:52 |
| erry | very consistant huh | 12:52 |
| jelly-one | aeon-ltd: eh, seems like a suboptimal protocol when security updates are in question | 12:53 |
| erry | maxwellian, also tried ndisgtk | 12:53 |
| maxwellian | Guest77041: Not sure what's happening there. Do you have a firewall set up? | 12:53 |
| erry | it says hardware present | 12:53 |
| maxwellian | erry: Yes, good. | 12:53 |
| erry | but that's not helpful | 12:53 |
| aeon-ltd | jelly-one: yeah but most users like branding and ubuntu specific written docs | 12:53 |
| maxwellian | erry: I have used that once before, it wasn't very clear... | 12:53 |
| erry | :( | 12:54 |
| maxwellian | erry: Did you reboot because you weren't able to get an IP? | 12:54 |
| erry | Yes | 12:54 |
| erry | Actually well | 12:54 |
| erry | I removed the device from where it was and put it higher | 12:54 |
| erry | but then it stopped working so i reboot it | 12:54 |
| erry | now its back where i originally had it | 12:54 |
| erry | it gets a fine signal at windows btw | 12:54 |
| erry | so the possition shouldnt really matter | 12:54 |
| maxwellian | erry: No, that's probably not the issue. | 12:55 |
| aeon-ltd | jelly-one: if you like bleeding edge use other ppas, gentoo or arch linux | 12:55 |
| erry | :( | 12:55 |
| maxwellian | erry: You're right. | 12:55 |
| * erry throws it away | 12:55 | |
| maxwellian | erry: Okay, give me a second to look up this command that's not working for you. | 12:55 |
| erry | It worked at a previous version of ubuntu with ndisgtk | 12:55 |
| erry | but that version is _old_ | 12:55 |
| jelly-one | aeon-ltd: if I liked bleeding edge I wouldn't use ubuntu 9.10, would I. | 12:55 |
| aeon-ltd | jelly-one: yeahh | 12:55 |
| erry | and even then it would kick me off once a while | 12:55 |
| maxwellian | erry: It's good news that it worked at some point though. | 12:55 |

| maxwellian | erry: The one you sent me the link to. | 12:59 |
| jelly-one | cutiyar, make sure you don't have any other package manager tool already running; also, there's no need for "sudo" when you're already root | 12:59 |

| szymon | hello, anybody know how to install mapsource on linux? i have Garmin Etrex H, and it isnt have usb cable (have RS232) - sorry, im a little know english | 13:05 |
| Lazyvee | Ubuntu 10.04 connects to my router but I can't get online, what am I doing wrong? | 13:05 |
| maxwellian | erry: Yes, that would be frustrating. All of the support for Ubuntu is free, which is nice, but volunteer, which is sometimes not as nice. | 13:05 |
| erry | i never get anything for free | 13:06 |
| erry | instead i work for free | 13:06 |
| erry | and never get a thanks | 13:06 |
| * erry goes emo | 13:06 | |
| FloodBot1 | erry: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 13:06 |

| erry | i hate that bot. | 13:06 |
| cutiyar | MAXWELLIAN , see this http://pastebin.com/uTiSKGDa while running sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade | 13:06 |
| maxwellian | erry: Well everyone in here is working for free, so at least you're not alone. :) | 13:06 |
| A[D]minS | Lazyvee if its connect to your router and u can ping router-ip , then i believe its something related to DNS. | 13:07 |
| erry | yes but nobody forces you to work | 13:07 |
| erry | you can be a butt and not work | 13:07 |
| A[D]minS | Lazyvee: u r using static IP or Dynamic ? | 13:07 |
| maxwellian | jelly-one: I've never seen anyone try to use dpgk that way. I can't imagine that's a suitable way to upgrade a given package. | 13:07 |
| disharmony | jeesh, why is ubuntu so different? What's the correct *way* to create the device files in /dev in the installation cdrom instead of mknod'ing them myself? | 13:07 |
| Lazyvee | it's a dynamic IP | 13:07 |
| Dr_Willis | disharmony: Hmm.. /dev/ is supposed to autopopulate as needed when the various modules for devices load. Ive not needed to mknod stuff in years. | 13:08 |
| maxwellian | cutiyar: Go ahead and follow the advice of the error message. | 13:08 |
| disharmony | Dr_Willis: well the kernel detects sda and sdb, but they are not in /dev ;) | 13:08 |
| erry | ;/ | 13:08 |
| Dr_Willis | disharmony: so 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda' dosent show anything eh? | 13:09 |
| erry | when i get a university degree ill work for money | 13:09 |
| erry | ! | 13:09 |
| jelly-one | maxwellian, "dpkg --configure -a" is a common idiom for cleaning up partially failed installations/upgrades/removals. | 13:09 |
| maxwellian | erry: What do you want to do? We can take a look at your problem, knowing we may not succeed, or we can not. Let me know. | 13:09 |
| cutiyar | maxwellian, it say read only file system I don't undrstand it | 13:09 |
| Dr_Willis | disharmony: theres been some odd controller/drives missing issues ive heard of in 10.04 - | 13:09 |
| erry | i want it fixed | 13:09 |
| erry | thats what i want | 13:09 |
| disharmony | Dr_Willis: unable to open sda; Dr_Willis I don't have any controllers, using iscsi | 13:09 |
| disharmony | i will mknod them myself... ;) | 13:10 |
| A[D]minS | ok manually edit dns file and add ur DNS manual . use the following steps : "sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf" ,,, THEN insert the bold line nameserver 208.67.222.222 | 13:10 |
| Dr_Willis | disharmony: I kniow nothing about iScsi. so you are on your own. | 13:10 |
| A[D]minS | Lazyvee: ^ | 13:10 |
| jelly-one | cutiyar, that probably means one of your filesystems needed to make apt/dpkg work had an error and has gone read-only automatically. | 13:10 |
| maxwellian | jelly-one: Yes, that I've seen, but he left off the 'a' in the '-a'. Guess it was enough to throw me. :P | 13:10 |
| maxwellian | jelly-one: Thought he was trying to read from stdin or something. :P | 13:10 |
| disharmony | well this isn't iscsi related, but mknod solved it | 13:10 |
| Dr_Willis | disharmony: you sure you got the proper modules loaded? somthing seems odd. :) perhaps file a bug report | 13:10 |
| erry | nobody reads bug reports | 13:11 |
| jelly-one | cutiyar, inspect the output of "dmesg", it might provide clues | 13:11 |
| erry | i have a report there for a week | 13:11 |
| erry | or more | 13:11 |
| Arkns | morning all | 13:11 |
| cutiyar | jelly-one , what should I do to fix it? | 13:11 |
| erry | nobody cares. | 13:11 |
| FloodBot1 | erry: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 13:11 |
| maxwellian | cutiyar: Did you run the 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' | 13:11 |
| Dr_Willis | erry: well given the info you have been doing here.. im not suprised at that | 13:11 |
| cutiyar | maxwellian,yes | 13:11 |
| jelly-one | cutiyar, it depends on the reason it went read-only; if it's a hardware issue it might have to be dealt with hardware changes. OTOH a reboot and a filesystem check might fix it. | 13:12 |
| Arkns | I installed ubuntu server and after installed kubuntu-desktop. my wireless was set but it`s not workig browsing and apt-get on console | 13:12 |
| Lazyvee | I'll try this, thanks you! | 13:12 |
| Arkns | what could be? | 13:12 |
| maxwellian | cutiyar: What did it say when you ran the command? | 13:13 |
| cutiyar | maxwellian, http://paste.ubuntu.com/459093/ | 13:13 |
| maxwellian | cutiyar: Thanks, sorry to keep making you paste. | 13:13 |
| cutiyar | maxwellian, not probloum | 13:13 |
| maxwellian | cutiyar: Hmmm...what was the first thing you did to try to upgrade Firefox? | 13:15 |
| cutiyar | sudo apt-get upgrade firefox | 13:15 |
| jelly-one | whatever cutiyar did, it wouldn't corrupt the fs | 13:15 |
| Lazyvee | thanks for helping, have a nice day everyone | 13:16 |
| maxwellian | jelly-one: What do you think, fsck? | 13:18 |
| jelly-one | "cutiyar, it depends on the reason it went read-only; if it's a hardware issue it might have to be dealt with hardware changes. OTOH a reboot and a filesystem check might fix it." | 13:19 |
| iddo | what decided which terminal is launched for desktop-entry .desktop files with Terminal=true ? | 13:19 |
| jelly-one | cutiyar, inspect the output of "dmesg", it might provide clues | 13:19 |
| iddo | i tried gnome-default-applications-properties, and tried to change sym link for /etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator | 13:19 |
| jelly-one | If I must repeat myself. | 13:19 |
| iddo | but still gnome-terminal is used | 13:19 |
| cutiyar | jelly-joe, I don't understood | 13:19 |
| Dr_Willis | iddo: tat x-terminal-emulator is a link to the 'default' terminal program | 13:19 |
| jelly-one | cutiyar, "dmesg" is a command showing kernel messages. | 13:19 |
| Dr_Willis | iddo: the galternatives tool can let you change that system default | 13:20 |
| jelly-one | cutiyar, pastebin the last 50-100 lines of its output | 13:20 |
| iddo | Dr_Willis: galternatives ? | 13:20 |
| Dr_Willis | iddo: yes.. thats the name of the tool. One of several tools to admin the 'alterantives' system ubuntu uses | 13:20 |
| iddo | Dr_Willis: i changed the sym link myself to another terminal, but still gnome-terminal is used | 13:21 |
| Dr_Willis | iddo: i susggest useing the proper tools.. not just moving symlinks around | 13:21 |
| jelly-one | cutiyar, this output can be used to figure out the reason why one of your filesystems encountered an error and remounted itself in read-only mode | 13:21 |
| cutiyar | jely-joe,http://pastebin.com/mXxm7YEc | 13:21 |
| iddo | Dr_Willis: ok trying | 13:21 |
| Dr_Willis | iddo: its also possible thers some gnome setting thats overriding the system defaults | 13:21 |
| cutiyar | jelly-joe, http://pastebin.com/mXxm7YEc | 13:21 |
| iddo | Dr_Willis: any idea how to find it? i tried to google this issue and i dont find anything | 13:23 |
| bobo123 | I have problems with getting games use the screen fullscreen, I assume that something fails at changing resolution so it paints black on the rest of the screen. are there something bad with my settings? | 13:24 |
| bobo123 | I use nvidias graphic drivers | 13:24 |
| iddo | Dr_Willis: i tried galternatives hmm, how come it managed to change the sym link without sudo access? | 13:25 |
| Dr_Willis | iddo: you did notice the system ->>>> perfered applications item? it has a setting for a terminal | 13:25 |
| iddo | Dr_Willis: yes i did, it didnt have any effect either | 13:26 |
| boldii | hi | 13:26 |
| Dr_Willis | iddo: i imagine it changed it on a per user setting - not system wide | 13:26 |
| boldii | is it possible to change the contents of the "Files & Folders" entry in the ubuntu netbook edition? | 13:27 |
| iddo | Dr_Willis: anyway i tried galternatives now too, changed to xterm, still no effect.... any other ideas? | 13:27 |
| Psirus | hi, I have just tried to control my monitor with gddccontrol, which worked fine. however, I can't use the app for the panel to switch between profiles, because it says no monitors found, run gddccontrol first | 13:28 |

| Dr_Willis | iddo: no idea. I forget the orignal problem | 13:28 |
| iddo | Dr_Willis: and it didnt seem to change per usr, i see the sym link in /etc/alternatived changed to xterm | 13:28 |
| Dr_Willis | iddo: you do have xterm installed? | 13:29 |
| iddo | yes | 13:29 |
| iddo | the original problem was | 13:29 |

| volve | hey all, I'm using user-level security and have 2 users writing to the same share. The 1st user is an admin so obviously has root perms to the filesystem, but the 2nd user isn't, however she still seems to be able to delete files owned by the 1st user that have only read privileges. What am I doing wrong? :/ | 13:31 |
| bobo123 | I'll be back later | 13:32 |
| Dr_Willis | iddo: personally.. i cant recal ever using the launch in terminal feature | 13:32 |
| Dr_Willis | iddo: i always make a launcher that does 'xterm -e 'pathtocommand' | 13:32 |
| rapha | Hi! | 13:34 |
| david | hi | 13:35 |
| rapha | How can it be that I install Ubuntu one some non-technical people's PC, and then the first update comes, and the box right out doesn't boot anymore? | 13:35 |
| Dr_Willis | rapha: ive had windows machines not even make it that far | 13:35 |
| Dr_Willis | rapha: bugs and regressions happen. They normalluy get fixed very fast however. | 13:36 |
| rapha | Dr_Willis: unfortunately for these ppl, windows always booted trustfully, albeit slowly | 13:36 |
| rapha | Dr_Willis: i booted the ubuntu on that machine from CD now and ran aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade (which brought the -23 kernel in) and it still doesn't boot. The CD itself requires "noapic nolapic acpi=off" to boot, but these are also set in GRUB, so that can't be it... | 13:37 |
| maxwellian | cutiyar: Hi cutiyar. Back? | 13:38 |
| Dr_Willis | rapha: clarify what it is doing. 'dosent boot' is rather vague | 13:38 |
| cutiyar | maxwellian , sorry my computer damaged | 13:38 |
| cutiyar | by this update | 13:39 |
| maxwellian | cutiyar: It's not clear (to me) exactly what caused the damage, but jelly-one seems to be right that you have a problem with the filesystem. | 13:39 |
| rapha | Dr_Willis: it starts to boot, then (when I disable "quite nosplash" before booting) shows "Starting AppArmor profiles" and hangs there forever. | 13:40 |
| Dr_Willis | rapha: thers also a 'text' option to get a bit more verbose messages at boot up. | 13:41 |
| cutiyar | maxwellian, how to locate the brocken package? | 13:41 |
| maxwellian | cutiyar: I recommend that you force a file system check on the reboot. | 13:41 |
| Dr_Willis | rapha: replace teh 'quiet nosplash' with 'text' and see if any more info shows up | 13:41 |
| cutiyar | maxwellian ,I don't understand sorry | 13:42 |
| maxwellian | cutiyar: No problem, didn't expect you to. I just wanted to say what we're going to do. :) | 13:42 |
| matteo1990 | I am having problems with audio in ubuntu 10.04. All worked fine but now (after working on alsamixer to get the mic works on skype) i can hear audio on my fujitsu amilo pi 1505 only if i plug in the headphones.. Any tips? | 13:42 |
| rapha | Dr_Willis: okay, let me try that ... will take a minute, I messed around already now and have to restore the original GRUB config first. | 13:42 |
| aeon-ltd | rapha: just remove quiet its verbose by default | 13:42 |
| Dr_Willis | rapha: other then that i have no idea. that fact you have to use "noapic nolapic acpi=off" is not a good sign to begin with. | 13:42 |
| cutiyar | maxwellian, it said use broken filter to locate | 13:42 |
| rapha | aeon-ltd: well then Dr_Willis' suggestion wouldnt make sense and I was again only left with staring at the "Starting AppArmor profiles" message forever and a day | 13:43 |
| cutiyar | maxwellian, where I use broken filter? | 13:43 |
| maxwellian | cutiyar: Have you already pasted that message? | 13:43 |
| Dr_Willis | I think 'text' totally makes it show most everything. | 13:43 |
| Dr_Willis | text verbose - Might show more info. | 13:43 |
| Dr_Willis | or text noquiet | 13:43 |
| aeon-ltd | rapha: ok try Dr_Willis idea first | 13:43 |
| rapha | Dr_Willis: well, some computers have hardware problems. I've come to accept that. And it did run absolutely reliably up until the update. Plus, it works fine from CD... | 13:43 |
| cutiyar | maxwellian, no | 13:43 |
| rapha | aeon-ltd: about to :) | 13:44 |
| maxwellian | cutiyar: Would you please? | 13:44 |
| rapha | It's just kinda hard to evangelise Ubuntu like that, because stuff like this makes ppl lose trust, esp. when they were skeptical to begin with... | 13:44 |
| cutiyar | maxwellian,http://pastebin.com/iprwviVb | 13:45 |
| Dr_Willis | I find it harder to evangelize windows when you hear about the major exploits.. but comptuiers are complex and thats the bottom line. | 13:45 |
| maxwellian | cutiyar: When did you get that message? What gave you that message? | 13:46 |
| Dr_Willis | at least with Linux you can 'pop the hood' and try to fix things. Once you get the hood open. | 13:46 |

| Dr_Willis | bbl. gotta chase the grandkids. | 13:46 |

| Dr_Willis | maxwellian: yes i will.. I got COOKIES! :) | 13:47 |
| cutiyar | maxwellian, when I want update from update manager | 13:48 |

| rapha | aaaah crap | 13:50 |
| maxwellian | cutiyar: Type 'sudo touch /forcefsck' | 13:50 |
| cutiyar | maxwellian , when my computer rebooted was not running I entered fsck after this I could run | 13:50 |
| maxwellian | cutiyar: Oh, you already ran fsck? | 13:50 |
| rapha | aeon-ltd: Dr_Willis: no extra info and doesnt work with default grub settings either ... just gonna reinstall it after backing up the home dir. | 13:50 |
| cutiyar | maxwellian,yes | 13:50 |
| aeon-ltd | rapha: ok sorry couldn't help | 13:51 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) was the eleventh release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ - Release Notes: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 | 14:11 |
| Euphus | anybody else always has lags on youtube or flash? | 14:11 |
| atmos4 | hi | 14:11 |
| rapha | lobozoo: well, if it is. could you open a terminal and type "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install barry"? | 14:12 |
| wullox | nope | 14:12 |
| atmos4 | hmm, after upgrading to lucid form karmic, none of the sysv style init scripts were started | 14:12 |
| lobozoo | rapha: thats the one did what it says on the can , but still cant install barry | 14:12 |
| Euphus | what is barry? | 14:12 |
| atmos4 | I then discovered, that it was due to /etc/inittab being removed | 14:12 |
| lobozoo | maybr im doing it wrong | 14:12 |
| lobozoo | euphus: program for blackberry | 14:13 |
| atmos4 | I readded a file with only a single line "id:3:initdefault:" and now sysv style init scripts are started again | 14:13 |
| atmos4 | isn't that a bug in lucid? | 14:13 |
| Euphus | lobozoo, ; ok , thnax ;) | 14:13 |
| seant | atmos4, upstart is the new mechanism which also runs the old sysV style init scripts. | 14:13 |
| atmos4 | well it doesn't withtout /etc/inittab for me | 14:13 |
| seant | atmos4, It is from Karmic and beyond I think | 14:13 |
| maxwellian | rxd: Just go with 10.04. | 14:13 |
| maxwellian | cutiyar: What's happening? | 14:13 |
| maxwellian | cutiyar: Are you still on the old version? | 14:14 |
| seant | atmos4, there is no inittab | 14:14 |
| atmos4 | seant: neither vdr nor netatalk were started unti I added /etc/inittab | 14:14 |
| atmos4 | both use sysv style init scripts, not upstart | 14:14 |
| seant | You need to add them via update-rc.d | 14:15 |
| atmos4 | so it seems upstart doesn't start the sysv script unless there is a default initlevel defined in inittab | 14:15 |
| atmos4 | seant: I'm not stupid =) | 14:15 |
| rxd | is aufs any good as a file system | 14:15 |
| cutiyar | maxwellian, was not upgraded | 14:15 |
| maxwellian | cutiyar: You ran that command? | 14:15 |
| Euphus | i hate smartphones, or i hate htc tattoo!! its fucked kkep away from it folkz! hehe sounds like i have a breakdown lol | 14:15 |
| atmos4 | seant: how you think they magically are started after creating minimal inittab? | 14:15 |
| seant | atmos4, The default level is set at 2 !! But upstart kicks off the jobs asynchronously, one of them being the rc's | 14:15 |
| rapha | lobozoo: "says on the can"? - well, nevermind. just execute the command i gave you again, please, and then show me the output you get on pastie.org. | 14:15 |
| atmos4 | well I could set rc2 there, wouldn't matter | 14:16 |
| atmos4 | the services are registered in rc2,3,5 | 14:16 |
| seant | atmos4, you can create an inittab. But it is not there by default as I understand it | 14:16 |
| root | startx | 14:16 |
| atmos4 | yea, but it should start sysv style init scripts without me needing to do anything | 14:16 |
| === root is now known as Guest56388 | ||
| Guest56388 | hi people? | 14:16 |
| atmos4 | which it wasn't until I created inittab file | 14:17 |
| atmos4 | thus I ask myself what's wromng | 14:17 |
| rxd | ubuntu is ignoring aufs excellent feature | 14:17 |
| === jelly-too is now known as jelly-one | ||
| atmos4 | which upstart script handles calling the sysv scripts? | 14:17 |
| flames | make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. | 14:17 |
| Guest56388 | where can i get information about using linux? | 14:17 |
| seant | atmos4, I am not sure on why those commands never made it to the /etc/rc*.d. Perhaps a re-install would have done it or a reconfigure | 14:18 |
| flames | complie from source | 14:18 |

| atmos4 | seant: they are in /etc/rc*.d/ | 14:18 |
| flames | ./configure && make | 14:18 |
| seant | atmos4, /etc/init/rc.conf I think. Not a 100% sure | 14:18 |
| atmos4 | but upstart didn't call them | 14:18 |
| flames | make install | 14:18 |
| flames | make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. | 14:18 |
| atmos4 | ok will check that file | 14:18 |
| seant | atmos4, Are they in /etc/rc2.d? | 14:18 |
| cutiyar | maxwellian, yess | 14:18 |
| atmos4 | seant: not wanting to repeat myself | 14:18 |
| seant | atmos4, That should have kicked it off then. | 14:19 |
| atmos4 | I've plenty years of linux experience, so they are :-) | 14:19 |
| seant | atmos4, I dont doubt that. BUt a lot are new to upstart | 14:19 |
| Guest56388 | what should i do in order to get used to linux? | 14:19 |
| flambo | hey folks, having mail issues with alot of people complaining they're not able to send me mail (or the few other people using my server can't receive mail from some folks) | 14:19 |
| atmos4 | yes, upstart is still new for me | 14:19 |
| maxwellian | cutiyar: What if you type 'sudo apt-get upgrade firefox'? | 14:19 |
| flambo | anyone able to help me debug it? | 14:19 |
| atmos4 | but /etc/rc*.d/ has little to do with upstart | 14:19 |
| cutiyar | maxwellian ,I did it before , ok iwill do it again | 14:20 |
| Euphus | anybody else always has lags on youtube or flash? | 14:20 |
| seant | atmos4, once again: upstart kicks off the old rc style scripts. | 14:20 |
| flambo | the server is ubuntu 8.04 | 14:20 |
| Guest56388 | i need help from you friends; what is the advice you give to me? | 14:20 |
| rapha | Euphus: a friend complained of it after the upgrade to 10.04 | 14:20 |
| atmos4 | seant: yea I'm looking at the rc.conf script now | 14:20 |
| flambo | and it's configured using the ISPConfig web based administration tool | 14:20 |
| flambo | there's about 15 domains running on the server. | 14:20 |

| Euphus | anybody had problems with spotify? i have to run it through terminal.. i think its wine it can`t be runned from shortcut | 14:25 |
| rbanffy | Hi folks. After updating the kernel (about a month ago) my son's computer ceased to access wifi networks. It's a broadcom b43-ish device. It's not listed in lspci. Should I try harder to make Linux find it or should I go out and buy another mini-pci-express card? | 14:25 |
| Euphus | broadcom sux | 14:26 |
| rapha | lobozoo: afk for a bit, food. you can /query me with the answer if you want, ill look into it when i come back. | 14:26 |
| Euphus | anybody had problems with spotify? i have to run it through terminal.. i think its wine it can`t be runned from shortcut | 14:27 |
| lobozoo | rapha thanx dude | 14:27 |
| rbanffy | Euphus: I know. It came with the computer. But sucky or not, it was working, then stopped. The question is whether I should buy another (non-broadcom) or do some trick to make it work. | 14:28 |
| Guest56388 | friends, unfortunately i will be asking too many question, please do not get mad, it is bacause i am really addicted to lunix but i do not know anything about it | 14:28 |
| Euphus | it is not compartible enough, i would buy a new non-broadcom if i where you.. just buy a pin-card | 14:29 |
| Euphus | usb-plug | 14:29 |
| Guest56388 | not even the basic commands commands | 14:29 |
| Euphus | and buy a netgear ;) | 14:29 |
| atmos4 | I'd always choose internal wlan over an usb stick | 14:30 |
| Guest56388 | i have tried many sited, looking for info but it is very hard to understand | 14:30 |
| atmos4 | those small printed antennas suxk, and it gets int he way | 14:30 |
| Euphus | even N-stick? | 14:30 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Euphus, netgear hasn't let the people I know down and it picks up ISP settings all by itself so good suggestion | 14:30 |
| Euphus | ;) | 14:31 |
| atmos4 | well just swap the internal card if it's not working correctly | 14:31 |
| abhi_nav | !ask | Guest56388 | 14:31 |

| atmos4 | but first I'd try getting it working, because there are driver available for b43 | 14:31 |
| lobozoo | were do i paste thing agian? | 14:32 |
| Euphus | Pirate_Hunter, ; i went from linksys to netgear, and i dont regret | 14:32 |
| mfraz74 | i would say try a realtec based card, but i've never had much luck with those | 14:32 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Euphus, hmmm linksys I thought they were good at least much better than netgear, am I wrong? | 14:33 |
| spiky_ | Guest56388: have a read http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/index_main.html | 14:33 |
| lobozoo | where can i paste something to show someone | 14:33 |

| atmos4 | I'd try the most recent drivers before heading out and swapping hardware | 14:33 |
| Euphus | Pirate_Hunter, : broke 3 in a half year :) but then the whole house fucked with them. the netgear are still running :) | 14:33 |

| TomD | I'm looking for a new desktop that is pre-built to run Ubuntu. I have purchased several from Dell in the past. Are there any that support Ubuntu better than others? I would like to avoid the Microsoft tax if possible | 14:35 |
| Euphus | Pirate_Hunter, : yes, it did 4 a while here too.. lol | 14:35 |
| foolguy | abhi_nav: thanks | 14:35 |
| abhi_nav | foolano, hmm | 14:35 |
| Euphus | Pirate_Hunter, : have to run it from terminal now.. :( | 14:35 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Euphus, eeeerh ok I've never used that brand but will stay away from it, and yeah netgear has been up and running here as well even knowing it never gets turned off oh and watch the language :) | 14:35 |
| peleg | my left alt key stopped working, suddenly. How can I verify whether it is hardware issue or software issue? It is not working "every now and then" -- it just stopped, completely, and it is not better after a restart | 14:35 |
| rbanffy | rez: do an apt-cache search sun-java | 14:36 |
| rbanffy | rez: or java-sun | 14:36 |
| Euphus | Pirate_Hunter, sure :) | 14:36 |
| Guest56388 | maxwellian; my lunix operating system is backtrack 4, where do i find useful information on it. | 14:37 |
| Guest56388 | the commands and information on how to handle all backtrack applications? | 14:37 |
| Pirate_Hunter | peleg, the easiest method is to try another keyboard or use that keyboard on another machine | 14:38 |
| oCean_ | !backtrack | Guest56388 | 14:38 |
| ubottu | Guest56388: 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) | 14:38 |
| Pirate_Hunter | oCean_, what is backtrack? | 14:38 |
| oCean_ | Pirate_Hunter: ubuntu derivative | 14:38 |
| Pirate_Hunter | its like the third person i've heard mentioning backtrack | 14:38 |
| peleg | Pirate_Hunter, oh, sorry but I didn't mention I am using a laptop; I don't have here a usb keyboard to connect it to it. Maybe I should get one then... any other method in the meanwhile? | 14:39 |
| IStorm | oCean_ : A light derivitive? | 14:39 |
| Pirate_Hunter | peleg, other than sudo dpkg-reconfigure console (I think that is the command) however if it is the keyboard which I doubt that wont help | 14:40 |
| Knew | Can I install Ubuntu in a chroot? | 14:40 |
| Knew | On CentOS | 14:40 |
| rbanffy | Anyone experienced with Broadcom wifi problems? I have a b43-ish mini-pci-express thingie acting up. | 14:40 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Knew ask in CentOS | 14:40 |
| Sereph | I set my hostname with sudo hostname... on reboot it is changing.... ubuntu 10.04 can anyone tell me why | 14:41 |
| martman | when i goto system->administration->printing i cannot add a new printer(grayed out) or connect to a cups sever | 14:42 |
| oCean_ | Sereph: try /etc/hostname | 14:42 |
| martman | how can i fix this? | 14:42 |
| peleg | Pirate_Hunter, I don't have a package named "console". | 14:42 |
| Pirate_Hunter | peleg, let me check the actual command | 14:43 |
| abhi_nav | hi vishnu installed ubuntu? | 14:43 |
| peleg | Pirate_Hunter, thanks! | 14:43 |
| Pirate_Hunter | peleg, sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup | 14:43 |
| vishnu | abhi_nav, note yet dude,is it safe to transfer files from "virtual ubuntu" to real ubuntu using LUBI OR LVPM | 14:44 |
| Bragex9 | I am trying to share folders with samba, but I am only getting an error message saying: net usershare" returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. 01:21. NT_STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES How can I fix it? | 14:44 |
| abhi_nav | what is lubi and lvpm vishnu ? | 14:44 |
| abhi_nav | vishnu, btw there is no risk in it. linux dont have viruses like win. | 14:44 |
| bilg_z | hi all!!! | 14:45 |
| vishnu | abhi_nav, no no... i m talking abot authenticity of lubi.. its used to transfer files from one partioion to another buddy... i jus want to know if its authentic.. thatis, i shouldnt encounter any problem durinf transfering .. thats it | 14:45 |
| Sereph | oCean_: nope | 14:46 |
| bilg_z | are there open source softwares to find passwords some formats (like rar doc zip 7z and others) ? | 14:46 |
| abhi_nav | vishnu, I really never heard about lubi. | 14:46 |
| IdleOne | vishnu: where did you read about lubi? | 14:46 |
| vishnu | abhi_nav, yeah i know that it doesnt hav viruses.. thats y i shifted linux.... :) ok...no probs buddy... thanks 4 getting invloved... | 14:47 |
| Sereph | oCean_: wait no that actually worked | 14:47 |
| ross_ | how do you synchronize a desktop and a laptop | 14:47 |
| oCean_ | Sereph: it should :) | 14:47 |
| abhi_nav | vishnu, ok | 14:47 |
| Sereph | oCean_: isn't that what hostname is supposed to do...... | 14:47 |
| ross_ | files and such | 14:47 |
| abhi_nav | IdleOne, what is lubi? do you know? I never heard of it | 14:47 |
| IdleOne | abhi_nav: I don't | 14:47 |
| bastidrazor | !hostname | Sereph | 14:47 |
| ubottu | Sereph: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 14:47 |
| oCean_ | Sereph: only temporary. | 14:47 |
| vishnu | IdleOne, i jus googled it up... that moment i found a post as how to transfer files between partitions ... thats how, it came about here | 14:48 |
| Sereph | interesting....... | 14:48 |
| peleg | Pirate_Hunter, I see nothing new. Should I restart? | 14:48 |
| abhi_nav | IdleOne, ok | 14:48 |
| peleg | Pirate_Hunter, oh, silly me -- it told me to restart. | 14:49 |
| peleg | :) | 14:49 |
| peleg | Pirate_Hunter, well, thanks! I'm restarting. | 14:49 |

| IdleOne | oops sorry about the long link | 14:49 |
| Pirate_Hunter | peleg, probably but the way to find the answer is to figure out why it stoped working, did you swap your keyboard settings or maybe another application is using it? | 14:49 |
| bilg_z | are there open source softwares to find passwords some formats (like rar doc zip 7z and others) ? | 14:49 |

| RPS | the master is turned all the way up | 15:06 |
| ubuntu | aeon-ltd: I want something that is independant from OS | 15:06 |
| ubuntu | aeon-ltd: can I have this by installing grub in another partition as u said? | 15:06 |
| zcat[1] | ubuntu, only thing you can do is reinstall bootloader.. all versions of Windows have ALWAYS trashed other bootloaders on install... | 15:07 |
| aeon-ltd | ubuntu: from experience its easier to have 7 first then ubuntu on top, however you can use something like supergribdisk to restore grub after windows is in | 15:07 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu: a system with 2 hard drives. makes that a little easier. It is worth learning how to restore grub however. | 15:07 |
| Dr_Willis | Grub is such an imporntant 'tool' that its definatly worth spending some time reading up on | 15:07 |
| zcat[1] | you can very easily reinstall grub from the ubuntu cd, see !grub | 15:07 |
| RPS | aeon-ltd: the master is turned all the way up. It shows HAD Intel as the card | 15:07 |
| sudipta | hey i am using 9.01.should i upgrade to 10.04 .?i have nvidia | 15:08 |
| Dimitri__ | What is up with ubuntu's wordpress not upgrading to 3.0? | 15:08 |
| Dr_Willis | sudipta: flip a coin.. :) do you want updated stuff? | 15:08 |
| Dimitri__ | How can I trick it (at my own risk) into doing so | 15:08 |
| zcat[1] | Dimitri__, probably find a ppa? | 15:08 |
| Dr_Willis | Dimitri__: clarify what you just said. | 15:08 |
| Dimitri__ | Dr_Willis: wordpress is on version 3.0. all the other wordpresses i've used recently have been automatically upgraded through the wordpress software. | 15:09 |
| ubuntu | zcat[1]: you mean after installing SEVEN that all things gone failed about the grub I can Use the ubuntu LIVE CD and | 15:09 |
| Dimitri__ | Dr_Willis, it would appear ubuntu disabled this feature of wordpress | 15:09 |
| Guest56388 | where can i learn the basics of security, the programs + their guides, ebooks, if possible with tutorials, for free? | 15:09 |
| zcat[1] | !grub | 15:09 |
| 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. | 15:09 |
| sudipta | <Dr_Willis>yeah but will i create any pproblem during booting | 15:09 |
| edbian | sudipta, The best answer you can get to that question is to boot the 10.04 live CD and see how you like it. | 15:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Dimitri__: never heard of 'wordpress' | 15:09 |
| RPS | aeon-ltd: is this the line I should use? sudo aptitude --purge reinstall linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils linux-image-`uname -r` linux-ubuntu-modules-`uname -r` libasound2 | 15:09 |
| Dr_Willis | !info wordpress | 15:09 |
| ubottu | wordpress (source: wordpress): weblog manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.9.2-1ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 1969 kB, installed size 8796 kB | 15:09 |
| zcat[1] | ubuntu, that link ubottu just gave.. | 15:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Dimitri__: if you want the latest version .You may need to find a PPA repository for it. | 15:09 |
| ubuntu | zcat[1]: thanx bro ;) | 15:10 |
| Dr_Willis | sudipta: will what cause any problems? | 15:10 |
| zcat[1] | Dimitri__, or you can just download wordpress yourself and extract it into /var/www/ | 15:10 |
| Dimitri__ | yeah, that's what I was in the midst of | 15:10 |
| aeon-ltd | RPS: don't bother, in alsamixer are any the outputs showing mm? | 15:10 |
| IdleOne | abhinav: the same guidelines apply in all Ubuntu irc channels. Please be patient. | 15:10 |
| sudipta | <edbian>i have indeed liked it i have heard that it might impose problem on booting | 15:10 |
| Knew | I need to be devoiced. | 15:10 |
| zcat[1] | Dimitri__, ppa might be better wince it will get updated with your system automatically (as long as the ppa maintainer keeps it updated) | 15:11 |
| RPS | aeon-ltd: No, I don;t see anything labeled as mm | 15:11 |
| * Knew ! | 15:11 | |
| aeon-ltd | RPS: all bars are maxed out? | 15:11 |
| Guest56388 | where can i get materials on basics of security? | 15:11 |
| edbian | sudipta, I would be surprised if it had problems booting. I say, go for it! I'm not promising that you won't have problems but com'on you're not installing windows here. What's the worst that could happen? :) | 15:11 |
| RPS | only the master is maxed out | 15:11 |
| sudipta | <Dr_Willis>i dont know yesterday i found that in xchat | 15:11 |
| edbian | sudipta, Just do a back up before you start and rest easy. | 15:11 |
| aeon-ltd | RPS: max out all of them | 15:11 |
| delfis | hello, which to choose 32bit or 64bit? | 15:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest56388: theres numerous web sites with security tutorial and even a lot of e-books out there. Security is a BIG topic. so you may need to look around for info that you are wanting to learn about | 15:12 |
| ikonia | delfis: up to you | 15:12 |
| Dr_Willis | sudipta: i dont know what you are talking about. | 15:12 |
| sudipta | <edbian>ok thanks | 15:12 |
| delfis | but how to choose | 15:12 |
| delfis | :? | 15:12 |
| ikonia | delfis: high level rule is 4GB ram or more = 64bit | 15:12 |
| delfis | what are criterias? | 15:12 |
| Dr_Willis | delfis: I see no reason to not use 64bit these days. | 15:12 |
| delfis | i have 4gb | 15:12 |
| Dr_Willis | delfis: id say go with 64bit then | 15:12 |
| Andy-at-home | guys, i keep getting disconnected from ssh, i tried changing the ssh config but it didnt help, is it a different config? | 15:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Andy-at-home: the server has a config also. | 15:13 |
| Andy-at-home | ah, where can i find that? | 15:13 |
| ikonia | Andy-at-home: probably your isp's network kicking you off, disable the time out on the client/server configs, and enable tcp-keepalives | 15:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Andy-at-home: /etc/ssh/ | 15:13 |
| Dr_Willis | !ssh | Andy-at-home | 15:13 |
| ubottu | Andy-at-home: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 15:13 |
| zcat[1] | Guest43521, basically only install stuff from package management, don't run as root.. if you're not doing server type things there's nothing to worry about, ubuntu is far more secure than the other two popular oses | 15:13 |
| delfis | 64-bit - Not recommended for daily desktop usage | 15:13 |
| delfis | the official webpage wrotes | 15:13 |
| edbian | delfis, If you have more than 3Gb of ram and you install a 32 bit operating system you will not be able to use all of the ram. However in order to run a 64 bit OS you also need to have a 64 bit processor and motherboard. | 15:13 |
| RPS | aeon-ltd: I can;t see a way to turn up the others ...PCM, IEC958 | 15:13 |
| Dr_Willis | delfis: thats old information for the most part. | 15:13 |
| aeon-ltd | RPS: up on the arrow keys | 15:13 |
| delfis | ok thanks | 15:13 |
| Dr_Willis | delfis: you decide.. we have given our suggestions | 15:13 |
| Guest56388 | DR_Willis: can you prompt me some websites? | 15:14 |
| * Dr_Willis wonderws when that official ubuntu web page will get updated/clarified | 15:14 | |
| Dr_Willis | Guest56388: it depends on the specifics you zre interested in. just 'security' is very vague. | 15:14 |
| zcat[1] | delfis, really no reason not to use 64bit nowdays, except perhaps a very few non-free drivers that don't play nice | 15:14 |
| aeon-ltd | RPS: what are you usng to test sound? | 15:15 |
| RPS | aeon-ltd: Well.... that was the single MOST simplest linux fix I have ever been involved with. LOL | 15:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest56388: hitting delicious.com for and looking what others have tagged as 'security' 'tutorial' and so forth will find good info | 15:15 |
| aeon-ltd | RPS: your welcome :) | 15:15 |
| RPS | aeon-ltd: You can;t take my Thank You away. ;) Thanks | 15:16 |
| zcat[1] | Guest43521, perhaps try http://www.schneier.com/ | 15:16 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest56388: http://delicious.com/search?p=network+security+tutorial&chk=&context=recent||security&fr=del_icio_us&lc= | 15:16 |
| aeon-ltd | RPS: np | 15:16 |
| Guest56388 | Dr Willis: i basically want to learn about tcp/ip and remote hacking | 15:17 |
| RPS | aeon-ltd: I wonder what makes the second meter (PCM) go to all zeros | 15:17 |
| zcat[1] | lol | 15:17 |
| oCean_ | Guest56388: there's no support for that in this channel | 15:17 |
| BluesKaj | Andy-at-home, sometimes it helps ssh to have all the IP addresses of the devices you are conecting to the network in /etc/hosts.allow , like this : http://www.pastebin.ca/1894382 | 15:17 |
| sudipta | i am using wvdial to get connected to net through my cell.whenever connection ends i have to restart to create a another connection.can it be done without restar?t | 15:18 |
| Andy-at-home | thanks | 15:18 |
| Guest56388 | ok | 15:18 |
| zcat[1] | Guest43521, http://www.megapanzer.com/ might be a good place to start | 15:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest56388: theres whole books and ebooks written on tcp/ip - some are free. | 15:18 |
| Dr_Willis | http://www.tcpipguide.com/free/t_toc.htm | 15:19 |

| Volkodav | I choose the web cam input in sound preferences and it keeps switching back to internal audio - it did remember the settings with Logitech Vision Pro but the new FVTOUCHCAM N1 does not. It switches back within minutes back to default. Any idea anybody ? | 15:23 |
| netko | Hi Ubuntu pros. I'm teaching some talented youngsters basics of Linux. We successfully installed Kubuntu, learned the basics of Terminal use (apt-get,cd,ls,touch,man,mkdir,chmod etc.) and folder structure (mount points etc.), done some regexp searches, minor shell scripts and compiled with g++. Do you maybe have an idea what to do next? Nothing too complex because some are just getting started | 15:23 |

| abhi_nav | Dr_Willis, desktop theme | 15:25 |
| abhi_nav | ikonia, ok. | 15:26 |
| abhi_nav | ikonia, any other reliable themes website you may know? | 15:26 |
| Dr_Willis | abhi_nav: that may be wrong.. themes are often made of theme parts.. and can be miss-packaged. look whats in the archive. | 15:26 |
| prash | netko, good. Also teach them about window managers - kde etc | 15:26 |
| ikonia | no | 15:26 |
| edbian | netko, Learn about /etc/fstab, learn about /etc/networking/interfaces | 15:26 |
| Dr_Willis | abhi_nav: use the various theme-downloader tools that exist. | 15:26 |
| Guest56388 | Dr_Willis: if it is the case i will not face problems to get help from you | 15:26 |

| oCean_ | netko: the #ubuntu-offtopic channel maybe more appropriate for your question. This channel is all about technical ubuntu issues. | 15:27 |
| Dr_Willis | bye all. | 15:27 |
| rouslan | Does Ubuntu still break after every version upgrade (as it did a few years ago)? | 15:27 |
| netko | edbian: Lol computers we're working on couldn't handle compiz :D But I agree, something fun would be nice for a change | 15:27 |
| toogreen | Is there a channel for Unity? | 15:27 |
| abhi_nav | bye | 15:27 |
| Dr_Willis | rouslan: if we say No.. will it matter? | 15:27 |
| ylmf | haha | 15:27 |
| edbian | netko, Linux is a tool. The best way to learn how to use a tool is to use it in some project. Maybe they could begin learning how to program as well?? | 15:27 |
| rouslan | Dr_Willis: I have not been using Ubuntu for almost two years now so I guess it has changed | 15:27 |
| prash | netko, dual booting. I am sure many would like to have ubuntu installed side by side with win | 15:28 |
| netko | I have like.. 6 h of lexture to do ( minus hour or so for removal Linux and restoring bootloader) | 15:28 |

| rouslan | I remember trying to upgrade Ubuntu several times, *every* time the upgrade broke the installation. | 15:29 |
| rouslan | But I guess reinstalling is better than dealing with Portage. | 15:29 |
| Guest56388 | okay, thank you for the information | 15:30 |
| Guest56388 | how can i ping an ip adress using ubuntu? | 15:30 |

| ZeroOne | If I go into the Help menu when in the boot menu of Ubuntu Netbook Remix and hit "ENTER to boot" as it says at the bottom of the screen, I get the message "Could not find kernel image: /casper/vmlinuz". I can see how that would be a problem when trying to run the system but I don't understand why that might be the case. I did everything it says at the download page here: http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download I.e. I have completed Step ... | 15:31 |

| === mike_ is now known as Guest91027 | ||
| rouslan | Well, I guess re-installing is better than dealing with a versionless package manager. | 15:41 |

| bobo123 | is there something I can do to let games that run in full screen use the whole screen instead of just a small square in the middle and black around it? | 17:05 |
| tibman | not entirely, I had some issues on my ubuntu 10.04 install that no one was able to help me with, but I was able to resolve the issues and wanted to spread the knowledge | 17:05 |

| nikolam | I guess its not about package but radeon graphics card driver | 17:06 |
| user1_ | any specialist on ubuntu 10.4 and usb 3.0 support? | 17:06 |
| kens | Simple question: I'm helping someone with a new Ubuntu system. What is the equivalent of the Redhat style command chkconfig --levels 345 httpd on. Sorry I'm not familiar with Ubuntu at all | 17:06 |
| bobo123 | so that when I run in fullscreen a game like Monsterz, it switches the resolution to 640x480? I use nvidias drivers with 1600x1200 | 17:07 |
| kens | I'd like to make the httpd daemon auto start | 17:07 |
| guntbert | nikolam: that driver will also be in a package | 17:07 |
| ikonia | kens: use update-rc.d for that | 17:07 |
| kens | Thanks | 17:07 |

| tibman | i just got ubuntu to work on my pc but only 1 of my hard drives are showing up, does anyone know how to fix this? | 17:09 |
| wanderingi | im trying to install lampp on my ubuntu machine but the first step is to enter su and the password. Am i correct in saying this should be the admin password? | 17:09 |
| guntbert | nikolam: seems plausible :-) | 17:09 |
| user1_ | has anyone used kingston 256gb pendrive on ubuntu 10.4 | 17:10 |
| === r_ is now known as Guest51955 | ||
| ikonia | user1_: why don't use just ask the "real" question | 17:12 |
| rocket16 | Can 3D sound effect be made in Ubuntu, like Windows? | 17:12 |
| rocket16 | I was sad to see that even Windows has this effect, via Realtek Control Centre. What is the process for Ubuntu? | 17:12 |
| ikonia | rocket16: ubuntu supports surround sound yes | 17:12 |
| rocket16 | ikonia: Oh, thanks friend, :) How to turn this on? | 17:13 |
| bobo123 | the real question: 42? ;-) | 17:13 |
| ikonia | rocket16: you have to have hardware that supports it | 17:13 |
| user1_ | ikonia: i have a 256gb kingston pendrive . when i attach it on my netbook with ubuntu 10.04 it shows up the volume. now i copy some stuff into it and unmount. | 17:13 |
| rocket16 | ikonia: I have a 3D Effect-Headphone. Will it work on there? | 17:13 |
| ikonia | user1_: ok | 17:13 |
| ikonia | user1_: that's not a question though | 17:13 |
| ikonia | rocket16: oh, you mean like software emmulation ? | 17:13 |
| tibman | rocket16: goto system, preferences, then click on sound. then the hardware tab and you can change your output from there | 17:14 |
| user1_ | ikonia: when i mount it again the data doesnt show up but used space is shown as the size of copied object . where is the data? | 17:14 |
| ikonia | user1_: how are you mounting it | 17:14 |
| rocket16 | ikonia: I tried, but it still sounds like 2D. And yes, I mean software emulation, :) | 17:14 |
| ikonia | rocket16: I'm not aware of 3d sound software emmulation, you'll have to see if the device (headphones) have linux support and specfic equiremetns | 17:14 |
| user1_ | ikonia: it's mounted when attached by daemon i suppose | 17:14 |
| rocket16 | tibman: Well, I already tried, with no apparent success. Just four profiles, and nothing else. | 17:15 |
| ikonia | user1_: what file system is on it ? | 17:15 |
| user1_ | ikonia: msdos / fat | 17:15 |
| rocket16 | ikonia: Well, it is never clearly mentioned on the pack whether the Linux support is there. Also, I tried online, with nothing well. Still thanks for your help, :) | 17:15 |
| ikonia | user1_: umount it, and manually mount it | 17:16 |
| tibman | rocket16: I have about 20 profiles, try getting the drivers specific to what ever sound card you are using | 17:16 |
| user1_ | ikonia: even then the same problem | 17:16 |
| wanderingi | im trying to install a tar file to /opt but i dont have permissions to write to this directory. I use the su command and my password but this isnt making any difference | 17:16 |
| ikonia | user1_: cd into the file system where it is mounted and pastebin the output of "du -h" please | 17:16 |
| ikonia | !sudo | wanderingi | 17:17 |
| ubottu | wanderingi: 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 | 17:17 |
| user1_ | ikonia: it has fat and no partitions and it's directory size is 16384 and not 4096 | 17:17 |
| ikonia | user1_: how can it have no partitions | 17:17 |
| ikonia | user1_: it must have a partition for ou to be able to mount it | 17:17 |
| guntbert | ikonia: the usb key of user1_ formatted like a floppy? | 17:18 |
| user1_ | ikonia: when i formatted it it was done for FAT without partitions except for MBR | 17:18 |

| vol7ron | ikonia, -xdev only restricts to the file system, not the top directory | 17:26 |
| terry_ | Spanish allowed here? | 17:26 |
| rapha | steffan: thanks for the link ... actually after looking at it I'm not sure if the problem is automounting. When I attach the drive and plug in a floppy, the drive shows up under "Computer", but double-clicking it does nothing. When I *manually* do "mount /dev/sde /mnt" it works. But I can't tell these non-technical users that ... any idea why the double-clicking doesn't work? | 17:26 |
| ikonia | vol7ron: sorry, I actually thought that's what you wanted | 17:26 |

| rapha | user1_: well, you do need backward compatibility with outdated technology sometimes - so kudos to the guy who built these usb floppy drives. | 17:27 |
| vol7ron | ikonia, yeah i just wish i could do it with find :( | 17:27 |
| vol7ron | ikonia, i might be able to with -maxdepth - | 17:27 |

| belkinsa | Ghoti: I think dmesg should show you it. | 17:36 |
| user1_ | frank82vt: what is so compelling for you to do that. just write a script to extract url from it and add firefox . it will open | 17:36 |
| ghoti | belkinsa: dmesg does indeed show me the interface, but not when this functionality was introduced to Linux, or whether the driver depends on Linux-only bits of the kernel... | 17:37 |
| toni | Hi, how do you download Msn Messenger? | 17:38 |
| ljsoftnet | toni: you wana use MSN Messenger? | 17:39 |
| Thopter | Is there an alarm clock program for linux that instead of using sound, changes the brightness of the computer screen? I'm looking for something that I can activate when I go to bed, it will slowly reduce the screen brightness all the way to off, and then slowly increase brightness at a specified time | 17:39 |
| belkinsa | Ew, MS.... | 17:39 |
| xangua | toni you can conect to msn with empathy, pidgin, emesene, amsn, kopete, kmess, anything left¿ | 17:39 |
| toni | ljsoftnet: yes i do | 17:39 |

| sanguenet | i have ubuntu 10.04 and win7 in my pc, how can i uninstall ubuntu and restore win7 boot? | 17:39 |

| om26er | sanguenet, did you install it using wubi? | 17:40 |
| dellph | hello is it possible to talk to mic and output it to speaker? | 17:41 |
| Thopter | toni: programs made for windows generally won't run on ubuntu without running Wine also | 17:41 |
| sanguenet | om26er, wubi is a live cd? | 17:41 |
| Lalitha | Is lubi to safe to convert my wubi ? Please tell me if there are any problems.. My friend wants to use lubi on his wubi. Please tell me if it is safe or not.. | 17:41 |

| sanguenet | om26er, sorry my english, im brazilian hehehe | 17:41 |
| toni | How can i download MSN messenger? | 17:41 |

| h3n | i'm dual booting windows XP and ubuntu usig the grub bootloader. when i try to boot my windows XP partition, my computer just reboots. anyone know why this is? | 17:41 |
| om26er | sanguenet, no wubi is installed from inside windows. | 17:41 |
| belkinsa | toni-Go the Ubuntu Forums and look it up. You have to have Wine for this. | 17:42 |
| xangua | sanguenet: if you used wubi just remove it from your sofwtare list in windows | 17:42 |
| faisal | it shows wirless disabled | 17:42 |
| faisal | it was running before | 17:42 |
| om26er | sanguenet, if you installed ubuntu from live cd. then I dont actually know what to do here. | 17:42 |

| Traveler | hi | 17:43 |

| om26er | faisal, right click on the network icon and see if there is a 'tick' before 'wireless netork' | 17:43 |
| toni | Thopter: how do i look it up? | 17:43 |
| om26er | faisal, it might have got disabled | 17:43 |
| xangua | toni did you read what i tell you or did you just ignore me¿¿ | 17:43 |
| ljsoftnet | toni: go to "Ubuntu Software Center>" Search for amsn and give it a try | 17:43 |

| toni | Thank you! :)\ | 17:44 |
| ghoti | toni: WINE provides the necessary libraries and execution environment to run Windows software without actually emulating a "windows box". So it's not exactly an emulator, but lets you run Windows software sort of as if it were native. | 17:44 |
| belkinsa | Toni: nevermind, sorry, but you might need it | 17:44 |
| csmith1994 | on lucid here, wondering how i can boot from usb | 17:44 |

| Megaviv | Hello | 18:37 |
| lee_ | i think alot of work from the wine developers have gone into 'play on linux' | 18:37 |
| AhmedBH | Well seems if i am wasting the downloading usage by downloading something like that then :P i have tried wine by the way | 18:37 |
| AhmedBH | it sucks | 18:37 |
| ImaLamer | I'm using wine just fine, playing WoW, etc... try #winehq if there are problems | 18:37 |
| Megaviv | Hi everybody | 18:37 |
| Megaviv | pretty new in here | 18:37 |
| Sam_Fisher | I have System Monitor open and nothing is running very high in Processes | 18:37 |
| AhmedBH | ooh thanks | 18:37 |
| nicofs | lee_: my modem is supported - in fact my netbook model is even sold as a linux version... but apparently the standard ubuntu connection manager is not working properly... | 18:37 |
| ImaLamer | AhmedBH, i don't think the problems are wine... | 18:37 |
| Megaviv | I'm having a Lenovo 3000 N200 Laptop | 18:37 |
| Megaviv | And I've been wondering lately about installing Ubuntu instead of my windiws | 18:38 |
| oCean_ | ujvarosya: so it is actually trying to communicate with the device. Not sure what is happening | 18:38 |
| Sam_Fisher | Megaviv, welcome please ask question in one post | 18:38 |
| Megaviv | Now I'm just not so that sure what version should I install | 18:38 |
| wpecker | ~~~Anyone has a clue why wouldn't DHCP work while using it with vmware? (ubuntu host, winxp guest) | 18:38 |
| AhmedBH | ncofs: just a second, try this nm-applet | 18:38 |

| Carb0n | which part of ubuntu is responsible for drawing/loading the desktop wallpaper? like is it nautilus? | 18:38 |
| AhmedBH | Imalamer: Well i ran Safari and its slow even the program plus apps on it ! | 18:38 |
| Sam_Fisher | Carb0n, no way | 18:39 |
| Megaviv | ok | 18:39 |
| Megaviv | So | 18:39 |
| Megaviv | My question | 18:39 |
| Megaviv | is | 18:39 |
| FloodBot1 | Megaviv: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 18:39 |
| ImaLamer | Megaviv, - maybe start by googling your make / modle number and then the latest ubuntu version to see if there are known porblems | 18:39 |
| fixmeargh | safari is ultra slow even on windows | 18:39 |
| Megaviv | What version of Ubuntu should I install, the one for Desktops or the One for netbooks? As, essentaly, my computer is none of them... XD | 18:39 |
| nvermeer | Haybegone | 18:39 |
| Sam_Fisher | Megaviv, bad boy | 18:39 |
| fixmeargh | so why double torture yourself by using it in wine | 18:39 |
| Megaviv | What did I do? | 18:39 |
| ujvarosya | oCean_: thank you..:) | 18:39 |
| lee_ | u could try the dongle driver under wine | 18:39 |
| AhmedBH | fixmeargh: yeah it is but works fine with GOOD network, you know what i mean ! | 18:39 |
| ImaLamer | AhmedBH, you are trying to fix a problem that doesn't exist :) | 18:39 |
| Sam_Fisher | Megaviv, why isn't it a netbook? | 18:39 |
| lee_ | just a suggestion.. i cant be sure | 18:39 |
| fixmeargh | slow except for it's ultra slow load time | 18:40 |

| Megaviv | Does anybody have an answer, please? | 18:40 |
| fixmeargh | any way to fix ubuntu being stuck on the boot loading screen? | 18:40 |
| ImaLamer | AhmedBH, running safari though wine is silly when you can natively run Chrome is all :) | 18:40 |
| AhmedBH | Megaviv: what is it | 18:40 |
| Sam_Fisher | Megaviv, we will answer when we have one | 18:40 |
| Megaviv | OK. | 18:41 |
| Megaviv | I am sorry. | 18:41 |
| dugger5688 | Chrome is also awesome. | 18:41 |
| Megaviv | I will not use it as panctuation... | 18:41 |
| Sam_Fisher | Megaviv, what processor is it running? | 18:41 |
| AhmedBH | ImaLamer: Yes well but Java doesnt works so WELL on it so i use Firefox 3.6.6 i gues | 18:41 |
| Megaviv | Chrome's really great... | 18:41 |
| slidinghorn | Megaviv, what *is* your computer if it doesn't fall under either category? What are its specs (HDD space, RAM, etc) | 18:41 |
| abhi_nav | who suggested vnstat here? I need help | 18:41 |
| ImaLamer | AhmedBH, no java problems in chrome here :/ | 18:41 |
| Megaviv | Ahm... Well, let me check, just a sec, thx | 18:41 |
| AhmedBH | Lmalamer: i tell you something | 18:41 |
| DJones | Megaviv: If you've not got a netbook and its not a server, you should install the desktop version | 18:42 |
| dugger5688 | Well I don't notice with a quad core but on slower computer Chrome REALLY shines. | 18:42 |
| Megaviv | Intel core 2 Duo CPU T5250 1.50GHz | 18:42 |
| guntbert | !ot | dugger5688 | 18:42 |
| ubottu | dugger5688: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 18:42 |
| ImaLamer | Megaviv I would get the 10.04 desktop and start there | 18:42 |
| thune3 | Sam_Fisher: have you looked at what processes are consuming cpu resources? | 18:42 |
| Sam_Fisher | Megaviv, sounds like a laptop | 18:42 |
| AhmedBH | ImaLamer: I dont know why i have issue with a flash player all the time over youtube, i cant even play stop or volume doesnt work ! i mean on some videos it does on like HD usually others it doesnt or lets say old ones, why ? i am on x64 by the way Lucid | 18:43 |
| Pirate_Hunter | figured out why sound wasn't being set to speaker weird enough the settings changed so that the output was going to stereo input dont even know how that happened | 18:43 |
| Megaviv | Which means 3GHz at all. | 18:43 |
| dugger5688 | Megaviv: first, no it doesn't. And second you want ubuntu-desktop | 18:43 |
| Megaviv | Well | 18:44 |
| Sam_Fisher | thune3, yes and Gnome sytem monitor is 36%, firefox 10% and 2% for many others | 18:44 |
| Megaviv | Is there anybody out there? | 18:44 |
| ImaLamer | AhmedBH, I should be clear and say I use Sun's Java and not open Java - thought I hear compiz + emerald mess with the play buttons | 18:44 |

| ImaLamer | ... am i on ignore? :{ | 18:45 |
| AhmedBH | Lmalamer: i mean sun's java, thats what i use uhh and its about flash player i mean i cant even pause it uh | 18:45 |

| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 18:45 |
| fixmeargh | ext4 is not performance based. it's made more for servers. try ext2 or at most ext3. even reiserfs is better | 18:45 |
| lee_ | slap the DVD in and play on VLC?? lol | 18:45 |
| Sam_Fisher | Megaviv, troll | 18:46 |

| Dr_Willis | Sam_Fisher: go wash the windows! | 19:33 |

| frank82vt | slidinghorn I will repeat my question each time that chat windows gets full of text. dont think that could be a matter whit that don`t you. | 19:34 |
| Dr_Willis | csmith1994: that would be a pc/bios/hardware issue if it cant see the usb as being bootable. I would guess you made it wrongly. | 19:34 |
| slidinghorn | csmith1994, that's not an ubuntu issue...you need to set your BIOS to recognize USB as a bootable option | 19:34 |
| valbaca | csmith1994: then it's a problem with your usb, not ubuntu | 19:34 |

| Dr_Willis | winff = front end to ffmpeg. I think. I recall being able to see the 'command line' to ffmpeg that the gui uses. So you can sort of 'learn' the options with it | 19:48 |
| slidinghorn | csmith19942, sudo chmod [permissioncode] | 19:49 |

| grobe0ba | slidinghorn: i wouldn't say 777. that's dangerous | 19:50 |
| grobe0ba | maybe 755 | 19:50 |
| Dr_Willis | csmith19942: or try installing the 'ntfs-config' tool and run it. and enable read/writeing on external and internal media. | 19:50 |

| grobe0ba | you can either remount it, or give up | 19:51 |
| csmith19942 | grobe0ba so how can i make it not read only | 19:52 |

| ActionParsnip | Muni: did you md5 test the iso you downloaded? | 20:22 |
| oren | greezmunkey: when i try to connect with wicd, it tried for about 2 minutes and give up. | 20:22 |
| zus | muni, check the md5... | 20:22 |
| muni | actionparnship: md5 | 20:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Muni: yes to make sure the iso is complete and consistant | 20:22 |
| muni | zus: md5 ???????/// | 20:22 |
| greezmunkey | oren: that's good. I uesd to use wicd, there were pleanty of times where I would have to disable the wireless interface and then re-enable it before it would connect properly. Have you tried that? | 20:22 |

| cannonfodder | hey u guys.,..i need lil help...my laptop touch pad is going crazy...is there anyway to reset it without restarting the laptop | 20:23 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | gpg: keyserver receive failed: keyserver error | 20:24 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | Should I be worried? | 20:24 |
| muni | zus : thanks | 20:24 |

| cannonfodder | u guys...how do i restart the mouse | 20:24 |
| zus | your welcome | 20:24 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | Do I even need the key? | 20:24 |
| zus | ActionParsnip, thanks as well ) | 20:24 |
| lee_ | unplug / plug-in | 20:25 |
| muni | zus: which is better in ur point of view linux or pc or mac | 20:25 |
| cannonfodder | touch pad | 20:25 |
| cannonfodder | not mouse | 20:25 |
| cannonfodder | and thru the terminal | 20:25 |
| greezmunkey | oren: If I remember correctly, I would: sudo ifdown {interface}, then ifup {intrface} - then: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart. I wouldn't have to do that all the time, but when it did "lock up" that process usually would break it loose. | 20:25 |
| ActionParsnip | ThatGuyOverThere: it authenticates the packages. Also upgrading to the next distro will not be allowed | 20:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Zus: pleasure | 20:25 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | ActionParsnip: How do I add the key later? | 20:25 |
| muni | zus: i used them all and i like linux the most | 20:26 |
| zus | muni, my personal point, i prefer GNU/linux (k)ubuntu but you should try what you can and see what works for you | 20:26 |
| ActionParsnip | ThatGuyOverThere: same command on the guide. I don't have what guide you are using so can't verify | 20:26 |
| oren | greezmunkey: let me try (i might loose connection, so i'll be back from my desktop) | 20:26 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | I just try to add the repository again and it'll get the key? | 20:26 |
| ActionParsnip | ThatGuyOverThere: i'd just keep hammering it, keyserver.ubuntu.com get a lot of hammer | 20:26 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | Okay. | 20:27 |
| oren | greezmunkey: ifdown: interface eth1 not configured | 20:27 |
| ActionParsnip | ThatGuyOverThere: if it uses the add-apt-repository command then it will add the key but it needs to complete to get the repo added | 20:27 |
| greezmunkey | oren: isn't that you wireless int? | 20:27 |
| greezmunkey | oren: duh, it's probably already down, try ifup instead. | 20:28 |
| oren | greezmunkey: correct | 20:28 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | The terminal is doing something weird. It says "The following Linux command line was extracted from /etc/default/grub or the 'kopt' parameter in Grub Legacy's menu.lst. Please verify that it is correct, and modify it if necessary." | 20:28 |
| oren | greezmunkey: ok | 20:28 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | Then it's got a box that says "Linux command line:" | 20:28 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | Should I just leave it empty and hit okay? | 20:28 |

| usacomputertec | oren I downloaded the FULL GAME download | 21:07 |
| usacomputertec | oren but the executables won't start | 21:07 |
| ActionParsnip | usacomputertec: is there an md5 for the file? | 21:07 |
| usacomputertec | oren no | 21:08 |
| usacomputertec | oren but I did find that the permissions for the executibles were not on so I enabled them | 21:08 |
| usacomputertec | oren there is no readme | 21:08 |
| paipimenta | ActionParsnip: thanks | 21:08 |
| usacomputertec | oren I have it on two computers here running fine but I installed them from playdeb a long time ago | 21:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Carl-m: download it from ubuntuone and put it in $HOME/Music (assuming that is the folder being watched by the app) | 21:08 |
| mek8630 | I can't remember who told me about the avant dock but that isn't the one I am looking for, is there any other suggestions on docks? | 21:09 |
| tomasz | elooo | 21:10 |
| carl-m | ActionParsnip: the problem I ran into is that it was already downloaded into ~/.ubuntuone/foo . I copied everything to /home/Music, told rhythmbox to delete the ones in ~/.ubuntuone, and rhythmbox deleted both the old version and my copies! | 21:10 |
| ActionParsnip | usacomputertec: chmod +x ./filename; ./filename ,run that from within the same folder as the installer and change filename in the command to the right name (case sensitive) | 21:10 |
| carl-m | there must be a better way, I think | 21:10 |
| usacomputertec | ActionParsnip I'll try | 21:10 |

| slidinghorn | osmario, you can try asking in #python | 21:40 |
| soadkombucha | slidinghorn: http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide works | 21:40 |
| Flannel | Pirate_Hunter: Wubi is an installed version within a Windows partition. It runs like a regular install with a slight disk performance slowdown due to one more layer of indirection (virtual FS), "slight" really is slight, you likely won't notice. | 21:40 |
| soadkombucha | It has a list of tutorials | 21:40 |
| guntbert | Lazyvee: I don't think so - did you try with running a live CD? | 21:41 |
| soadkombucha | Pirate_Hunter: Wubi is useful when you don't wanna mess with parttables | 21:41 |
| Dazzled | Does anybody have any experience with Photorec? | 21:41 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Flannel, so does it run inside windows or something or does it create a disk image? | 21:41 |
| Norcimo5 | Im suffering from constant flickering on my laptop. it has an old nvidia go 7900 GS card, and every time powermizer changes the performance level it flickers. | 21:41 |
| osmario | thanks for all. | 21:41 |
| Lazyvee | guntbert: not yet but I might try with a live CD | 21:41 |
| Pirate_Hunter | soadkombucha, so I assume grub doesn't get installed now im confused | 21:41 |
| Flannel | Pirate_Hunter: It doesn't run in windows, you boot to it just like a dualboot. There is no partitioning though, the entire Ubuntu install lives within a couple of files on your windows drive | 21:42 |
| guntbert | Lazyvee: try it - if you have wired LAN it really *should* work "out of the box" :-) | 21:42 |

| slidinghorn | Spaztic_One, ask in #winehq | 21:43 |
| Spaztic_One | Ah, thank you. | 21:43 |
| ahmad | again, at starting ubuntu 10, I found the following error message "An error occurred while mounting /home Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery", I do not understand why my system can not mount /home, could any one help me to solve these problem? Thanks | 21:43 |

| Lazyvee | guntbert: I will try with wired LAN but as I like to make things more complicated I'd like to use my wifi :-) | 21:44 |

| ThatGuyOverThere | Thanks. | 21:44 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Flannel, oh thats creative and still manages to dual boot, very interesting, so I assume windows sees it in a different way i.e. a disk images and how does one manage the size of the ubuntu wubi image? | 21:44 |
| guntbert | Lazyvee: do you know what wifi adapter you have? | 21:45 |
| slidinghorn | Lazyvee, try taking a gander here, it's a great troubleshooter for wireless issues/ndiswrapper: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=885847 | 21:45 |
| MaMoUs | ahmad: well man .... lets see, when u installed Ubuntu did u make a partition for home ? | 21:45 |
| ahmad | MaMoUs: no | 21:45 |
| erUSUL | meme: if you have maedia you can backup to from the livecd | 21:45 |
| Lazyvee | Atheros... I don't know the model... it's athk5 in the Ubuntu console if that helps | 21:45 |
| MaMoUs | ahmad: ok just give me 1 min plz | 21:45 |
| ahmad | MaMoUs: it is just one partition for all ubuntu | 21:46 |
| Flannel | Pirate_Hunter: There are tools to expand it and stuff, windows sees it as a couple of files (I believe there's two) | 21:46 |
| ahmad | MaMoUs: ok thanks. | 21:46 |
| Lazyvee | slidinghorn: thanks for the link, I'm going to check it out | 21:46 |
| alox | Lazyvee: if it doesn't work open a command line and do "sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf" and try to add the line "nameserver 8.8.8.8" (or the ip addresses of your isp's nameservers) | 21:46 |
| MaMoUs | ahmad: did u install Virtualbox ? | 21:46 |
| erUSUL | Pirate_Hunter: from what i see here wubi instals are way to fragile. grub problems or corrupt image file are common. i do not recommend them | 21:46 |
| erUSUL | too* | 21:46 |
| ahmad | MaMoUs: yes | 21:46 |
| meme | erUSUL : how could u give me any link for that ... I couldn't find | 21:47 |
| MaMoUs | ahmad: you had modified /etc/fstab in order to mount the usb? | 21:47 |
| ahmad | MaMoUs: is there a problem between VirtualBox and ubuntu? | 21:47 |
| MaMoUs | ahmad: no | 21:47 |
| erUSUL | meme: a link to backup from a livecd ? | 21:47 |

| ahmad | MaMoUs: yes | 21:48 |

| MaMoUs | ahmad: oky just give me 1 more min plz | 21:49 |
| Pirate_Hunter | erUSUL, so wouldn't I, I prefer to spend 30-45min installing from live cd than mess with wubi, saying it installs in windows itself doesn't it mean that it also suffers from NTFS fragmentation (this are all assumption based on my knowledge) which beats the point of having linux and how does one go about using chroot... too many question I need to explore | 21:50 |
| MaMoUs | ahmad: can u edit this file /etc/fstab | 21:50 |
| ahmad | MaMoUs: ok | 21:50 |
| iromli | when i use aptitude to install package, where is the temp dir that holds the downloaded package? i forgot that one | 21:51 |

| MaMoUs | ahmad: can u give me the entire file plz | 21:52 |
| soadkombucha | erUSUL: I looked my folder was BIG | 21:52 |
| erUSUL | soadkombucha: then run that | 21:52 |
| soadkombucha | erUSUL: Just did. I had 1.3GB of packages | 21:53 |
| ahmad | MaMoUs:# /etc/fstab: static file system information. | 21:53 |

| gryllida | So. I define Unix style copy paste as 'select to add to buffer' and 'middle click to retrieve from buffer'. It works everywhere but not open office. In Open Office 3.2.1 , Ubuntu 10.04, unix-style paste works, but not copy. System fonts ('serif', 'monospace') are not listed in the fonts dropdown either. Looks like Open Office lacks interation with the system. | 22:01 |
| gryllida | As I was asked yesterday, I installed latest updates (including a kernel one), which didn't help. I don't care much about fonts, but absense of unix style copy , which I am always using in emacs, terminal, firefox, ... , and then get suddenly stuck and see that it is open office, is very annoying. What can you suggest for a fix? | 22:01 |
| rp_ | i am not only looking for a light weight distro but one wiht the kernel optimised to run in virtualized env | 22:01 |
| ahmad | MaMoUs:I get error "mount: unknown filesystem type 'dazukofs'" | 22:01 |

| wanderingi | carl-m so if its running as that what do i need to do? I need to be able to edit these files etc so thats why my group has ownership. | 22:02 |
| Lantizia | gryllida, I see your copy and paste is working just fine in IRC | 22:02 |
| erUSUL | SteamInc: grep -i driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 22:02 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida: Hi | 22:02 |
| rp_ | i am also looking for debian based distro | 22:02 |
| rp_ | i like apt-get | 22:02 |
| rp_ | :D | 22:02 |
| carl-m | wanderingi: let me make usre I understand. you have some web app that is runnins out of apache and is unable to edit some files | 22:02 |
| oCean_ | gryllida: maybe try #openoffice.org ? | 22:03 |
| wanderingi | yes, there are directories and files that it needs to be able to writeto | 22:03 |
| gryllida | Lantizia: Indeed it works Everywhere, even in Terminal, but not in OpenOfficeOrg. | 22:03 |
| carl-m | wanderingi: and you want to be able to edit them as your own user as well | 22:03 |
| wanderingi | yes | 22:03 |
| gryllida | oCean_, They said they aren't able to help with integration of OOo with the OS, and redirected me here. | 22:03 |
| FoolishOwl | I'm experimenting with NFS. I'm wondering if there's a relatively simple way to export a folder so that everyone has read access, but write access requires a password. | 22:03 |
| avg_guy | spiky, thanks | 22:03 |
| carl-m | wanderingi: just one user, or a whole user group? | 22:04 |
| oCean_ | gryllida: personally I find that a weird answer. Since you've proven that all other apps work just fine | 22:04 |

| ahmad | MaMoUs: yes, I am installing avira | 22:05 |
| Lantizia | rp_, or just try debian :) | 22:05 |
| wanderingi | well i dont mind, but i need my user "user" to be able to edit them and as long as thats possible im happy | 22:05 |
| MaMoUs | ahmad: u are installing or installed ? | 22:05 |
| carl-m | Lantizia: I was assuming he thought debian was too big | 22:05 |
| Lantizia | debian is tiny if you do a minimal install | 22:06 |
| TuxthePenguin | alexias: Does it say there is a additional repository or download? | 22:06 |
| ahmad | MaMoUs: Avira is installed on my system and already running | 22:06 |
| TuxthePenguin | Otherwise you might need to enable all of your repositories | 22:06 |
| FoolishOwl | wanderingi, couldn't you just edit them as the superuser, then chown the files to whatever program needs to access them? | 22:06 |
| alexias | it just says 'can't find the package | 22:06 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Lantizia, so is ubuntu if you do minimal install | 22:06 |
| ahmad | MaMoUs: is Avira causing any problem? | 22:07 |
| MaMoUs | ahmad: yes | 22:07 |
| carl-m | wanderingi: if it's just one user, I would change the group ownership of the files to www-data, and leave the user ownrship set to you. if the web app creates new files, you may need to make the directories u+s as well | 22:07 |
| MaMoUs | ahmad: oky i found the problem | 22:07 |
| ahmad | MaMoUs: then I will remove it. | 22:07 |
| wanderingi | carl-m how do i do that | 22:07 |
| MaMoUs | ahmad: wait | 22:07 |
| ahmad | MaMoUs: ok | 22:07 |
| * alexias looks to see if any repositories arent enabled. i thought they all were... | 22:08 | |
| alexias | ah sth is amiss there | 22:08 |
| MaMoUs | ahmad: write this in terminal to backup ur file | 22:08 |
| carl-m | wanderingi: say that the top-level directory is /directory and your username is USER. you'd run : sudo chown -R USER:www-data /directory | 22:08 |
| alexias | silly me.... retry.... | 22:09 |
| rp_ | Lantizia, jeos was jsut 100mb that's kind of something that i want | 22:09 |

| carl-m | wanderingi: are you running ubuntu, then? | 22:23 |
| wanderingi | yes | 22:23 |
| eskici | LJRuff: same times the computer wan`t shut down | 22:23 |
| SomehelpPlz | I just installed Ubuntu 10.04. I cannot connect to the internet. I am unsure how. It says that I am disconnected from the internet. | 22:23 |
| traskmind | I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 and Nautilus won't recognise my MP3 player or camera when I plug them in, can anyone help me out? | 22:23 |
| carl-m | ok. I'm not at all familiar with apachefriends, but maybe someone else here can help. I have only every worked with the ordinary ubuntu setup | 22:23 |
| LJRuff | SomehelpPlz, Is this a wireless connection you're trying to setup? | 22:23 |
| SomehelpPlz | I tried to do a Connect to a Hidden Network and it tells me: "Disconnected - You are now offline." or something similar. | 22:23 |
| SomehelpPlz | Yes. | 22:24 |
| LJRuff | SomehelpPlz, is your wireless light on and/or flashing? | 22:24 |
| SomehelpPlz | I do not have a wireless light. | 22:24 |
| Kurogane | spiky: i can't always keep on this msg "[ 0.752945] EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode." if i log via ssh i can login | 22:24 |
| SomehelpPlz | But it is on, I can connect via Windows 7 installed on the same computer. | 22:24 |
| wanderingi | ah ok well thanks for your help | 22:24 |
| LJRuff | SomehelpPlz, when you open your network icon do you see any wireless SSID's present? | 22:24 |
| SomehelpPlz | It doesn't show anything. All it says is "Wired" (disconnected.) "Wireless" (disconnected.) | 22:25 |
| spiky | SomehelpPlz: it would be better to get wired connection do updates then check for hardware drivers | 22:25 |
| LJRuff | SomehelpPlz, it doesn't really matter that Windows can connect. Ubuntu might be missing the firmware required to connect via wireless. If this is the case we will need to update it. | 22:25 |
| merlin2049er | hey | 22:25 |

| xanderal | Hey guys -- got a question about the ubuntu server 10.04 install | 22:26 |

| LJRuff | !ask | xanderal | 22:26 |

| slidinghorn | blacktortilla, run sudo apt-get install pastebinit then run dmesg | grep [yoursistersusername] | 22:27 |

| SomehelpPlz | Okay. I am connected via ethernet cable. | 22:28 |
| LJRuff | SomehelpPlz, congrats! The first thing we need to do is check for any and all updates. Do you know how? | 22:28 |
| SomehelpPlz | No idea. | 22:28 |
| darthvies | I am having problems with the skype for Ubuntu. It has been fine before but it is a beta client and under sound devices it says pulseaudio server (local) :S what should I do | 22:28 |
| LJRuff | SomehelpPlz, Go to System->Administration->Upgrades | 22:28 |
| zcat[1] | xanderal, you sure it's hanging? Perhaps that step just takes a loooong time. Any disk activity? How long did you wait for it? | 22:28 |
| xanderal | My server install keeps hanging at the "wiping swap space for security" screen at 21% completion, Any ideas why? | 22:28 |
| xanderal | No disk activity, I have been waiting for over 25 minutes. | 22:29 |
| zcat[1] | ahh, ok.. well that's bad ;) | 22:29 |
| LJRuff | xanderal, bad disc or (God forbid) bad sectors? | 22:29 |
| boing | need a hand installing jedit-aou,tar,bz2 | 22:29 |
| SomehelpPlz | Okay, it's downloading package information. | 22:29 |
| linux_ | xanderall: try using a live ubuntu with sswap | 22:29 |
| wanderingi | carl-m: apache was running as 'nobody' when i ran your script with 'nobody' as the owner everything was fine | 22:30 |
| LJRuff | SomehelpPlz, Good =) Install all upgrades. You'll probably need to reboot because a kernel upgrade should be coming your way. | 22:30 |
| carl-m | wanderingi: great! | 22:30 |
| xanderal | I'm not completely sure about that, my hard-disk is setup via a RAID controller, but I'm fairly certain the RAID controller is stable. | 22:30 |
| spiky | SomehelpPlz: when it's done check system admin hardware drivers for any | 22:30 |
| zcat[1] | xanderal, first thing I'd do is a CD check, make sure there isn't a scratch or fingerprint that makes the install CD break | 22:30 |
| linux_ | xanderall: try using a live ubuntu with sswap software installed | 22:30 |
| wanderingi | yea, thanks for the help! | 22:31 |
| SomehelpPlz | 315MB download... Will take me about an hour to download completely. | 22:31 |
| basicxman | I accidentally removed some things from System->Preferences->Startup Applications, now Gnome won't start (Ubuntu 10.04). How can I restore my changes from the root terminal in recovery mode? | 22:31 |
| xanderal | Is there a live disc for the server edition? | 22:31 |
| spiky | SomehelpPlz: yep | 22:31 |
| SomehelpPlz | Am I allowed to idle in here for the required amount of time? | 22:31 |
| LJRuff | SomehelpPlz, not to mention the inflation and install time - should be an hour and a half. | 22:31 |
| LJRuff | SomehelpPlz, be our guest! =D | 22:32 |
| linux_ | xanderall: use the general version of ubuntu live (matched to your hardware, probably i386?) | 22:32 |
| sebsebseb | SomehelpPlz: yes you can idle in here | 22:32 |
| spiky | SomehelpPlz: i been here all day | 22:32 |
| gryllida | SomehelpPlz, of course, feel free to stay, enjoy :) | 22:32 |
| sebsebseb | xanderal: don't think theres a bootable CD where you can try server, since it doesn't have a GUI, but there is an install CD sure | 22:32 |
| LJRuff | SomehelpPlz, take sebsebseb for example - he idles here all day and doesn't do much of anything. = / | 22:32 |
| zcat[1] | xanderal, another thing you can do is change terminals with alt-F? and there's some other screens that might give you clues | 22:32 |
| sebsebseb | LJRuff: uhmm no | 22:32 |
| LJRuff | He's like our resident plant. =D | 22:32 |
| SomehelpPlz | I'm coming from Windows to Linux. Hopefully I can make Ubuntu my new home. | 22:32 |
| gryllida | LJRuff, helps a lot actually | 22:32 |
| LJRuff | (sebsebseb gryllida it was a joke) | 22:32 |
| boing | need a hand installing jedit-aou,tar,bz2 | 22:32 |
| carl-m | xanderal: I haven't tried the server install; have you checked the other terminals to see if there is debugging info on any of them? the debian installer used to have that | 22:33 |
| xanderal | zcat: I tried this, alt+f4 shows me the output of the install, at the "wiping swap space for security" screen, there is no activity at all. | 22:33 |
| basicxman | I accidentally removed some things from System->Preferences->Startup Applications, now Gnome won't start (Ubuntu 10.04). How can I restore my changes from the root terminal in recovery mode? | 22:33 |
| gryllida | sebsebseb, you're being very helpful, indeed, about a couple of weeks ago when I was just installing this system :) | 22:33 |
| SomehelpPlz | Ubuntu can handle Windows Live as I read during the installation? Is this the MSN messenger I am thinking of or another system? | 22:33 |
| zcat[1] | xanderal, well I'm all out of ideas ;) | 22:34 |
| linux_ | xanderal: if its the cd scratched, you can try the ubuntu netboot cd and download ubuntu server | 22:34 |
| xanderal | carl-m: Just like I mentioned to zcat, looking at terminal output during the install -- the last thing that happened was my user-setup finished. | 22:34 |
| sebsebseb | LJRuff: I only turned my computer on an hour or so ago something like that. Also in 2009 I was very much so one of the main helpers in here, but now I don't help as much in here, since there are other things I can do of course, plus I am not so keen on Ubuntu's current direction. | 22:34 |
| beefheart | are there any builtin cleanup commands for dpkg/apt-get/etc? i want to clean up all old files | 22:34 |
| LJRuff | gryllida, sebsebseb is probably one of the most helpful people here. I always see him here keepin' us in line. ;) | 22:34 |
| linux_ | anyone know if there is an issue which slows the copy and paste in ubuntu 10.04? its not copy and pasting in nautilus half the time with key shortcuts | 22:34 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida: yeah I remember sort of | 22:34 |
| LJRuff | sebsebseb, same here - I've moved to arch linux. Still like to help the newbies tho... | 22:34 |
| sebsebseb | LJRuff: yeah I am here for the newbies | 22:35 |
| carl-m | xanderal: I think this is an installer bug; I found something similar at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/432422 | 22:35 |
| LJRuff | SomehelpPlz, Windows Live? We have the MSN protocol on our messenger. | 22:35 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | my shift, control, and alt keys won't work on my keyboard. can anyone help | 22:35 |
| un214 | I've been considering installing debian core and moving my ubuntu installation to a chroot jail under it | 22:35 |
| LJRuff | ThatGuyOverThere, did you identify your keyboard correctly during install? | 22:35 |
| basicxman | Anybody able to help me? | 22:35 |
| linux_ | xanderal: the only workaround would be to use a live linux (such as a regular ubuntu live cd) and install sswap to remove the swap for security, if you need this to be done | 22:35 |
| teknohan | hi guys my skype doesn`t see my webcam it says I don`t have webcam how can I fix that cos it makes me mad! | 22:35 |
| LJRuff | !ask | basicxman | 22:35 |
| ubottu | basicxman: 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. :-) | 22:35 |
| gryllida | ThatGuyOverThere: did they work previously, or is this fresh install? | 22:35 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | if you mean the keyboard model, yes. it didn't ask for the model when you install. | 22:36 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | this is a fresh install. | 22:36 |
| linux_ | teknohan: skype is not offically supported by ubuntu developers | 22:36 |
| gryllida | what's the keyboard model? | 22:36 |
| LJRuff | ThatGuyOverThere, I meant the keyboard type. Is it a USA QWERTY standard? | 22:36 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | anyway, i tried setting the manufacturer and model in the keyboard settings, but they don't have the brand. | 22:36 |
| xanderal | carl-m: That's what I was afraid of. I guess I'll have to get a desktop/live-version of the CD then and install everything else manually, later. | 22:36 |
| basicxman | I accidentally removed some things from System->Preferences->Startup Applications, now Gnome won't start (Ubuntu 10.04). How can I restore my changes from the root terminal in recovery mode? | 22:36 |
| teknohan | :S:S:S:SS:S:S:S | 22:36 |
| xanderal | Thanks for the help guys. | 22:36 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | ljruff yes. | 22:36 |
| basicxman | ubottu: Sorry. | 22:36 |
| boing | ThatGuyOverThere, Did you try a reboot | 22:36 |
| LJRuff | ThatGuyOverThere, hmmm | 22:36 |
| sebsebseb | LJRuff: I moved to Mandriva at the end of November or early December, towards the end of last year anyway. Still got the other computer on Ubuntu though that my brothers are also using, and I stil have an interest in Ubuntu, since yeah it has most users on the desktop at the moment. | 22:36 |
| teknohan | I have to use skype ! | 22:36 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | it's a rocketfish bluetooth keyboard. kind of an obscure manufacturer. | 22:36 |
| zcat[1] | xanderal, do the install with no swap and install a swapfile/swap aprtition later? | 22:37 |
| lee_ | where are the programs stored?? | 22:37 |
| carl-m | xanderal: if that bug is right, it;'s just extremely slow | 22:37 |
| linux_ | teknohan: you can check your /dev to see if there is a video0 device, if not, linux is not detecting your webcam | 22:37 |
| carl-m | but they said it did finish | 22:37 |
| un214 | basicxman: want something brute force? | 22:37 |
| zcat[1] | xanderal, also is it true hardware raid, software raid, or 'fake raid'? | 22:37 |
| linux_ | xanderal: sswap takes many hours | 22:37 |
| hiexpo | evening all | 22:37 |
| basicxman | un214: Anything that will work :P | 22:37 |
| teknohan | linux_: I use webcam on amsn but skype doesn`t seee that!! | 22:37 |
| un214 | basicxman: rm -rf ~basicxman/.gnom* | 22:38 |
| linux_ | xanderal: it is wiping your swap 36 times with random data | 22:38 |
| LJRuff | sebsebseb, I officially moved away from Ubuntu a while ago... 9.04 was the last real ubuntu IMO, but 9.10 looked the best... I just started using Arch yesterday - before that I used Fedora and Debian. | 22:38 |
| darthvies | Where can I find the stable relase for skype on ubuntu | 22:38 |
| basicxman | un214: har har | 22:38 |
| xanderal | zcat: It's true hardware RAID | 22:38 |
| zcat[1] | why does the server install do sswap anyhow? never heard of it before! | 22:38 |
| xanderal | linux_: Is there anyway to stop it? | 22:38 |
| un214 | basicxman: that's not a joke -- the idea is to reset your gnome profile | 22:38 |
| linux_ | xanderal: not sure, you could try to kill the program running it, not sure what server edition uses, sswap or another app | 22:38 |
| iceroot | basicxman: sudo mv ~/.gnome* ~/backup-gnome | 22:39 |
| iceroot | basicxman: dont use rm, use mv | 22:39 |
| lee_ | RAID , through the motherboard<< | 22:39 |
| linux_ | darthvies: http://www.skype.com/go/download | 22:39 |
| teknohan | linux_: mate sorry tehere is no viedo0 ! what will I do ? | 22:39 |
| xanderal | linux_: How can I figure out exactly what's going on? alt+f4 doesn't show me anything. | 22:39 |
| xanderal | linux_: How would I narrow down the pid of sswap? | 22:40 |
| sebsebseb | LJRuff: yeah 9.04 was great, except for a little feature that I didn't like, and now things are going uhmm, as in mixture of bad and good. Anyway maybe 10.10 will be the next properly good release, 9.10, but much more so 10.04, are let downs for me. | 22:40 |
| carl-m | xanderal: does it show that the dd command was run? | 22:40 |
| iceroot | darthvies: in the partner-repo | 22:40 |
| zcat[1] | 36 times with random is just stupid anyhow... all leading data recovery firms agree that with a modern drive there is no available or theoretical way to recoer data after even a single zero-wipe | 22:40 |
| xanderal | carl-m: Yeah, dd is running right now | 22:40 |
| linux_ | xanderal: can you get to a new screen with alt+ctrl+F2 (then alt+ctrl+F1 to return) | 22:40 |
| zcat[1] | xanderal, killall sswap | 22:40 |
| xanderal | carl-m: specifically -- "dd if /dev/zero of /dev/mapper/username-swap_1 | 22:40 |
| linux_ | zcat[1]: does server edition use sswap? | 22:40 |
| xanderal | Hrm | 22:40 |
| Scunizi | xanderal: linux_ctrl+alt+F7 to return | 22:40 |
| carl-m | right. if that bug report is right, the problem is that invoking dd like that is just really slow | 22:41 |
| xanderal | It just notified me that my install finished. =P | 22:41 |
| sebsebseb | LJRuff: anyway going off topic here, but this is a good thing to end it with, or basically end it with, will be interesting to see how Ubuntu developers deal with Gnome 3 :) | 22:41 |
| carl-m | and needs to be invoked with a larger bs parameter | 22:41 |
| basicxman | iceroot: Okay, thank you. Rebooting now. | 22:41 |

| Compiling | rethus: replace eth0 with the active interface you're pinging | 23:28 |
| rethus | i only will see, if my request comes to this VZ-container. | 23:28 |
| rethus | didn't know which one i need to filter | 23:28 |

| rethus | icmp is ping ? | 23:28 |
| Compiling | oo a t23 | 23:28 |
| Loshki | cwraig: there is a StrictHostKeyChecking option in /etc/ssh/ssh_config you can play with to disable the check I think... | 23:28 |
| Compiling | rethus: yes icmp protocol is ping | 23:29 |
| Compiling | rethus: well it will show ping packets | 23:29 |
| Compiling | I dug up this old t61 the other day | 23:29 |
| tarandus | iceroot: Thanks! Eeepc, nice. I'm gonna try out Linux to throw on a daily beater | 23:29 |
| Compiling | loaded it up with 4G DDR2 and it flies | 23:29 |
| Pirate_Hunter | SomehelpPlz, it will if you do it like I typed i.e. du ~/ but it should be enough to identify which directory is taking too much space | 23:29 |
| Pirate_Hunter | SomehelpPlz, use disk analyser it is simpler | 23:30 |
| cwraig | Loshki, thanks ill check it out | 23:30 |
| iceroot | tarandus: maybe have a look at lubuntu (or lubuntu-desktop if there is no lubuntu-distri) | 23:30 |
| Loshki | rethus: strictly speaking, a single ping is an icmp echo request packet from client to server followed by a corresponding icmp echo reply packet from server to client... | 23:30 |
| Pirate_Hunter | SomehelpPlz, sorry never mind my irc hadn't scrolled down :s | 23:30 |
| rethus | works well with "tcpdump icmp" | 23:30 |

| iceroot | pme: just in a vm with lots of ressources but its looking good | 23:31 |
| rethus | but if i try my new ip, no icmp request comes anymore to my vz :( | 23:31 |
| khelvan | Pirate_Hunter: It appears that trash:.T27MFV is up to 10GB and growing | 23:31 |
| pme | iceroot: i think i will try it | 23:32 |
| iceroot | pme: its worth a try :) | 23:32 |
| Compiling | rethus: what new IP are you setting? | 23:33 |
| Compiling | rethus: and how are you setting it? | 23:33 |
| khelvan | Pirate_Hunter: -rw------- 1 brian brian 10595057664 2010-07-04 15:33 trash:.T27MFV | 23:33 |
| Pirate_Hunter | khelvan, if it is trash and you dont need the items their just delete it | 23:33 |
| NFischer | Hi all! how do i activate my ssh server before logging in (so that i can login remotely first) | 23:33 |
| tarandus | When installing Ubuntu, does it format the hard drive that it's being installed on? | 23:33 |
| NFischer | Hi all! how do i activate my ssh server before logging in (so that i can login remotely first) ? | 23:34 |
| Compiling | khelvan: empty the trash bin | 23:34 |
| Loshki | khelvan: is this the result of you trying to delete something? | 23:34 |
| iceroot | tarandus: yes | 23:34 |
| s3r3n1t7 | NFischer, if you've installed openssh-server it boots up by default before login. | 23:34 |
| pme | tarandus: depends on whay you tell it to do | 23:34 |
| Compiling | tarandus: you can choose how it will install to the hard drive | 23:34 |
| iceroot | tarandus: the partitions which are used/created | 23:34 |
| pme | tarandus: you can operate windows and ubuntu on the same hard drive, if thats what your asking | 23:34 |
| Compiling | tarandus: if you have an existing OS installation chances are it will be picked up and you can partition accordingly | 23:35 |
| blazento | hello i am trying to configure php from source files. After running configure --with-apxs2, i run make, and make install, but apache still prompts me to download the php file, is there something else i need to do | 23:35 |
| NFischer | s3r3n1t7, it does not, it says host is down... after logging in however i can ssh the machine | 23:35 |
| Loshki | tarandus: normally, it does format the disk by default. You can choose not to, but if there's something on the disk you need, it's best to have a backup of it before you start... | 23:35 |
| khelvan | Compiling, Loshki, I'm not sure what caused it. There was nothing in the Trash bin. Only after I deleted that file could I empty the bin. | 23:35 |
| Compiling | blazento: did you set the mime type for php? | 23:35 |
| iceroot | blazento: enable php in the apache.conf | 23:35 |
| s3r3n1t7 | NFischer, are you ssh'ing to the machine via hostname or ip? | 23:35 |
| blazento | ok | 23:35 |
| NFischer | s3r3n1t7, ip | 23:35 |
| Compiling | blazento: also are you running fastcgi? | 23:35 |
| blazento | im not sure, dont think so | 23:36 |
| tarandus | Thanks for all the replies- It's being backed up now and I'm making the machine stay dedicated to Ubuntu without any other OS on it. | 23:36 |
| khelvan | Pirate_Hunter, Compiling, Loshki - after deleting that file and emptying my trash, it appears to be gone from the directory and the trash bin, but my /home is now at 0% free | 23:36 |
| Compiling | blazento: see http://dan.drydog.com/apache2php.html | 23:36 |
| s3r3n1t7 | NFischer, i think the issue is not that the ssh server is down (you would get a connection rejected error), but that the networking isn't up untill after login. I have barely any knowledge of networking settings, so you can best ask the channel with a question why the networking doesn't start up before logon. | 23:36 |
| pme | tarandus: i have xp on my hard drive for the worst case that i need to do something that only windows can | 23:36 |
| Pirate_Hunter | khelvan, isn't that the point everything you delete goes to trash and that builds up | 23:37 |
| NFischer | s3r3n1t7, makes sense, thx | 23:37 |
| JacobSingh | Weird problem - I just downloaded / burned 10.04. The disc works in 2 other computers but not the one I'm trying to install it on (isn't recognized). CD drive is fine, my 9.04 disc works in that machine | 23:37 |
| NFischer | hey all, why is networking not present before log in? | 23:38 |
| cherva | What part of ubuntu is responsible for the laptops Fn+F1-12 shortcuts ? | 23:38 |
| Pirate_Hunter | khelvan, type in terminal du -sh ~/ to get a summary of the full size of your home | 23:38 |
| tarandus | pme: Good idea. I run Win7 on my PC, just testing Ubuntu on the laptop to see how it'll fare with schoolwork | 23:38 |
| Loshki | khelvan: my understanding is that normally, stuff you delete via nautilus gets moved to the trash directory in case you change your mind about it later. But you would probably know if you'd deleted a 10GB file. Compiling normally won't produce such big files. Maybe a nautilus bug? Re-run the diskpace monitor and see if you can see where all the space has gone... | 23:38 |
| khelvan | Pirate_Hunter: But there is nothing in the trash bin. I deleted the file, emptied the trash bin, and the file is no longer in that directory, but df tells me I'm at 100% usage on the partition, even though I can't find the file anymore. | 23:38 |
| Pirate_Hunter | khelvan, can you paste your df output in pastebin please | 23:38 |
| Compiling | JacobSingh: try booting with acpi off | 23:39 |
| JacobSingh | Compiling: interesting, I will. | 23:39 |
| Pirate_Hunter | khelvan, can you try that du command as well please | 23:39 |
| ActionParsnip | khelvan: use: cd /; sudo find -name "filename" | 23:39 |
| Compiling | JacobSingh: some drive models are finnicky with bootable discs, acpi helps sometimes | 23:39 |
| ActionParsnip | khelvan: e.g. cd /; sudo find -name "firmware.bin" | 23:39 |
| khelvan | du helped me find the issue with the trash file - now it is gone | 23:40 |
| khelvan | Ok, I'll find it | 23:40 |
| tarandus | Will Ubuntu get in the way of installing drivers? I'm asking in regard to still being able to use my Fn keys after installing. | 23:40 |
| s414414 | i... | 23:40 |
| s414414 | 0.0 | 23:40 |

| JacobSingh | Compiling: on another note, if it doesn't work, will 9.10 upgrade to 10.04 bemore or less the same? | 23:40 |
| SomehelpPlz | Does WINE allow me to install any windows program? | 23:40 |
| Compiling | JacobSingh: yes | 23:40 |
| ActionParsnip | SomehelpPlz: some | 23:40 |
| Kapli | Fresh install of ubuntu 10.04, fresh install of Google Chrome, flash shows video but no sound on youtube, any suggestions? | 23:41 |
| slidinghorn | SomehelpPlz, some...you can visit the appdb @ winehq.org for specific information | 23:41 |
| ActionParsnip | SomehelpPlz: some will run beautifully, some will not even install | 23:41 |
| Compiling | JacobSingh: you will not notice the graphic change, but the core applications will be upgraded | 23:41 |
| ActionParsnip | !appdb | SomehelpPlz | 23:41 |
| ubottu | SomehelpPlz: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 23:41 |
| Compiling | JacobSingh: I believe it installs the theme as well you just need to change it (can someone clarify?) if not it is downloadable | 23:41 |
| SteamInc | can somebody tell me how to find out weat driver si musing | 23:41 |
| SteamInc | how do i know what drivers im using | 23:41 |
| ActionParsnip | SteamInc: for what hardware? | 23:41 |
| Loshki | SomehelpPlz: not really. Some windows apps run really well in wine, some not so well, and some won't even install correctly. See the messages above to find out about a particular app... | 23:41 |
| SteamInc | graphics card | 23:42 |
| cherva | SomehelpPlz, WINE has its own support channel #winehq and an Application Database on their site ( http://appdb.winehq.org/ ) where you can see how well an app works | 23:42 |
| ActionParsnip | SteamInc: sudo lshw -C video | 23:42 |
| ActionParsnip | SteamInc: should tell you | 23:42 |
| Pirate_Hunter | khelvan, Iand your certain that you removed and emptied trash? check with disk analyser again otherwise give me a sec going to look for a command | 23:42 |
| ActionParsnip | SteamInc: or even cleverer: sudo lshw -C video | grep -i driver | 23:42 |
| JacobSingh | Compiling: no ACPI setting (at leas explicitly in thinkpad BIOS... oh well thanks for trying | 23:43 |
| lee_ | get the best from wine with play on linux :: http://www.playonlinux.com/en/download.html | 23:43 |
| JacobSingh | Possible to boot off of 9.10 and then swap the disk after hitting the install option :P | 23:43 |
| JacobSingh | ? | 23:43 |
| Compiling | JacobSingh: It should be in the Ubuntu install screen | 23:43 |
| Compiling | not BIOS | 23:44 |
| SteamInc | k | 23:44 |
| ActionParsnip | JacobSingh: i wouldnt, you will damage the hardware | 23:44 |
| SteamInc | later | 23:44 |
| hiexpo | IdleOne, - happy forth of July mate | 23:44 |
| JacobSingh | Compiling: The disk is't recognized, that's the problem | 23:44 |
| KnifeySpooney | Can anyone help me switch the cursor theme? Mine won't change. | 23:44 |
| Compiling | ah | 23:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Compiling: i'd return the drive under warranty and grab something else | 23:44 |
| JacobSingh | it is recognized by other machines though... and this machine recognizes the 9.10 disk that's what's weird | 23:44 |
| pme | hiexpo: where i live it's the fifth of july | 23:45 |
| Compiling | im not having a problem with my drive O_o | 23:45 |
| sebsebseb | pme: It nearly is the 5th for me. | 23:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Compiling: got the latest bios? | 23:45 |
| hiexpo | pme, - aus | 23:45 |
| ActionParsnip | same here, quarter to 5th july | 23:45 |
| Compiling | ActionParsnip: im not having problems with anything what are you talking about | 23:45 |
| JacobSingh | ActionParsnip: yeah, I think so... I mean I've never seen anything like this before... | 23:45 |
| JacobSingh | It's a thinkpad t60p, been running Suse and Ubuntu for 3-4 years... bizarre really | 23:46 |
| Pirate_Hunter | khelvan, other than that I can suggest ncdu which is similar to disk analyser but for terminal it lists all your folder and its file size | 23:46 |
| Compiling | Kapli: try killing npviewer.bin | 23:46 |
| JacobSingh | burned the disk 3 times to make sure I wasn't crazy... I ugess I gotta install 9.10 and then upgrade or find a USB drive somewhere | 23:46 |
| gonzaloaf | j #windows | 23:46 |
| Compiling | Kapli: if youre running ubuntu x64 | 23:46 |
| Pirate_Hunter | khelvan, tell how it goes im still here | 23:46 |
| JacobSingh | Would prefer the fresh install though... can't really trust an upgrade the same way | 23:47 |
| gonzaloaf | j #windows | 23:47 |
| khelvan | Pirate_Hunter: I've been using shift-delete to delete things "permanently," might that be a problem? | 23:47 |
| Compiling | gonzaloaf: /j #windows | 23:48 |
| ridin | gonz- | 23:48 |
| ridin | . | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip | JacobSingh: did you md5 test the iso you downloaded too? | 23:48 |
| lee_ | is there any way of saving the channel i have on xchat?? | 23:48 |
| Compiling | lee_ depends on irc client | 23:48 |
| ridin | lee_: explain further? | 23:48 |
| administrador_ | Can Somebody speak Spanish and help me? | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Compiling: xchat is the client ;) | 23:48 |

| lee_ | ill flood u | 23:48 |
| Compiling | whoops didnt read it all lol | 23:48 |
| sebsebseb | JacobSingh: By the way 9.10 is :) better than 10.04 in certain ways as well, depending on the user and their hardware | 23:49 |
| Pirate_Hunter | khelvan, wouldnt know I delete stuff from terminal using rm -rf which is not advised if I need to keep something I move it manually to local/trash, i am checking links that may help you out | 23:49 |
| sebsebseb | JacobSingh: also yeah installing 9.10 and then upgrading to 10.04 that will probably work | 23:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Pirate_Hunter: -f isnt always needed (infact its rarely needed) | 23:49 |
| pme | offtopic: what do you guys think about meego (meego.com) | 23:50 |
| sebsebseb | !ot | pme | 23:50 |
| ubottu | pme: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | !ot | pme | 23:50 |
| Compiling | lee_: right click the channel and add it to favourites? | 23:50 |
| pme | sebsebseb: yes i got it | 23:50 |
| lee_ | yea,, but aren't there when i log in | 23:50 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ActionParsnip, true but It may be useful just not sure when still it beats rmdir | 23:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Pirate_Hunter: if the folder is in the users home rm -r is quite adequate | 23:51 |
| ridin | lee_: XChat -> (server with the channel) and then auto connect on start up | 23:51 |
| Kapli | Compiling: how do i kill it ? im running the normal version of ubuntu | 23:51 |
| Pirate_Hunter | khelvan, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/hard-disk-usage-and-availability-report-tools.html one of these tools might help you locate your problem howveer I dont see the need for you to install them knowing you have du and disk analyser, still I do hope it helps | 23:52 |
| Compiling | Kapli: try ps auxww | grep npviewer | 23:52 |
| Compiling | Kapli: if it returns anything kill it's PID (leftmost number) | 23:52 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ActionParsnip, yes it is I just do it out of habit also you never know when you need to force remove | 23:53 |
| Loshki | Pirate_Hunter: it's probably a bad habit, but I do it too.... | 23:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Pirate_Hunter: you wont need it in $HOME, its a pretty bad habit | 23:53 |
| khelvan | Pirate_Hunter: I deleted the file, its space is still being reported by df, so I'm going to reboot just to see if that helps...be back in a few | 23:54 |
| Kapli | Compiling: kim 6295 0.0 0.0 3324 800 pts/0 S+ 00:53 0:00 grep --color=auto npviewer | 23:54 |
| ActionParsnip | i used to add -y to all apt-get commands (also a bad abit) | 23:54 |
| Kapli | Compiling: which number is the PID? | 23:54 |
| Pirate_Hunter | khelvan, I'll be here when you come back | 23:54 |
| Compiling | Kapli: that means its not running | 23:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Kapli: 6295 | 23:54 |
| Compiling | Kapli: it returned your grep pid | 23:54 |
| ActionParsnip | oh yeah, derrrr | 23:54 |
| Compiling | Kapli: to avoid that you can use a grep -v grep | 23:54 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Loshki, ActionParsnip, yeah it is a bad habbit and yeah I wont need it in ~/ | 23:55 |
| Kapli | so its not running | 23:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Kapli: no, but the leftmost value is the pid | 23:57 |
| Kapli | ah ok | 23:57 |
| Kapli | well i still dont have any sound in flash =/ | 23:58 |
| khelvan | Pirate_Hunter: Ok, the reboot cleared things up, for some reason - now df shows 66% usage on /home | 23:58 |
