| slidinghorn | nerdy_kid, ok, I'll do some digging and see if I can find a solution... | 00:00 |
| MaMoUs | dragonriot: first format the USB desk u want | 00:00 |
| slidinghorn | zoidberg-, it was aimed at everyone...the room was getting way OT... | 00:00 |

| Aethnen | how do i find out what my sound daemon is? | 00:01 |
| wbf | i am uploading a script to my ppa at launchpad-- but its only a single script. if i am creating the rules file package for my "source code" (i.e. the single script lol) does the rules (or makefile) just need to say "move it to /usr/bin?" | 00:01 |
| indrora | Aethnen: on 9.04 it was alsa. | 00:01 |
| indrora | Aethnen: so you'd want to try sudo /etc/init.d/alsa restat | 00:01 |
| rg58sma | Any solutions for | 00:01 |
| dragonriot | problem indrora is that I don't have a windows 7 DVD.... rather... I don't have a working DvD drive on my computer anymore, so I need to make that flash drive from Linux... there's no other way to get Windows on the machine. | 00:01 |
| indrora | if that doesn't work, something else is wrong. | 00:01 |
| rg58sma | http://pastebin.com/UqLxjUa6 | 00:01 |
| MaMoUs | dragonriot: then go to System>administration>StartUp Dick Creator | 00:01 |
| indrora | dragonriot: dd the image. | 00:02 |
| Aethnen | indrora did you mean "restart" or "restat" | 00:02 |
| MaMoUs | dragonriot: soo what step are u now in ? | 00:02 |
| indrora | dragonriot: dd if=(iso_path) of=(path_to_usb_disk) | 00:02 |
| indrora | Aethnen: restart | 00:02 |
| Aethnen | indrora thanks | 00:02 |
| Bragex9 | ok... i am now able to share folders on my ubuntu pc. The only thing that is strange is that each shared folder comes up double on my xp computer. What is tcausing the bug here? | 00:03 |
| psych787 | Why is kubuntu not offered as a larger DVD with more default packages? | 00:03 |
| dragonriot | MaMoUs: I have the ISO, and I have a bootable flash drive that I previously has Ubuntu 9.10 on... | 00:03 |
| MaMoUs | dragonriot: ur running ubuntu 9.10 ? or 10.04 ? | 00:03 |
| dragonriot | MaMoUs: I know I can DD the image to the flash drive, but how do I make the flashdrive bootable from Linux? | 00:03 |
| dragonriot | running 10.04 | 00:03 |
| slidinghorn | nerdy_kid, stupid question, but is this a bash script? | 00:04 |
| MaMoUs | dragonriot: ok open the startup desk creator | 00:04 |
| dragonriot | ok | 00:04 |
| MaMoUs | dragonriot: in the first box it is empty ? | 00:04 |
| Aethnen | indrora i don't think it's correct because it said command not found | 00:04 |
| nerdy_kid | slidinghorn no, its a .desktop file for dolphin (kde filemanager if you didnt know) but it doesnt actually matter, however the "Exec" line is treated like a bash script | 00:05 |
| dragonriot | MaMoUs: yes... I've located and selected my Win7 iso... | 00:05 |
| MaMoUs | dragonriot: choose other and locate Ur .iso file of windows 7 | 00:05 |
| MaMoUs | cool ^^ | 00:05 |
| MaMoUs | dragonriot: now choose the usb desk u want it | 00:05 |
| MaMoUs | dragonriot: after u choose it click erase Disk | 00:06 |
| dragonriot | ok, done. | 00:06 |
| kingwooky | can some one help me... one of my computers with Ubuntu on it is not booting | 00:06 |
| MaMoUs | dragonriot: did it finish eraseing ? | 00:07 |
| MaMoUs | dragonriot: erasing * | 00:07 |
| * ufuk_izgi Hi all | 00:07 | |
| dragonriot | yes, but it's not allowing me to select the win7 ISO now. | 00:07 |
| MaMoUs | dragonriot: now click | 00:07 |
| MaMoUs | dragonriot: dude was the .iso file inside the USB ? | 00:07 |
| trism | nerdy_kid: you can use: basename path; though it might be more straightforward from a script than a huge one-liner | 00:07 |
| dragonriot | no... it's on my passport. lol | 00:08 |
| MaMoUs | try to locat it again | 00:08 |
| MaMoUs | locate * | 00:08 |
| MaMoUs | dragonriot: click on other in above and locate it afain | 00:08 |
| MaMoUs | dragonriot: again* | 00:08 |
| nerdy_kid | trism i am a total newb at programing of any type, what do you mean? | 00:08 |
| slidinghorn | nerdy_kid, ok...it's a little over my head, but I found a couple links that might be helpful...it does have to do with basename as trism said: 1. http://bashscripts.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=365 2. http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/string-manipulation.html | 00:09 |
| cjae | nobody knows? | 00:09 |
| dragonriot | I located and used the same ISO again, and it does not allow it.... no error message, just doesn't let me pick it. | 00:09 |
| TheSkeward | I'm new to linux, using 10.04, and trying to get my wireless connection set up at my university. I believe I have the driver for my belkin adapter correctly installed, but when I follow the directions on the uni's "how to connect to the wireless network with ubuntu), it doesn't connect. I have no idea what I'm missing. Can anyone help me? | 00:10 |
| trism | nerdy_kid: the basename command prints the trailing part of a path, so: basename /usr/bin/sort; prints just sort, which seems like what you wanted | 00:10 |
| MaMoUs | dragonriot: close the startup desk creator and run it again | 00:10 |
| kingwooky | can some one help me?.. One of my computers with Ubuntu on it is not booting. all there is is a white line blinking | 00:11 |
| dragonriot | moving the iso to my home folder, and re-running the program... I'll get back to you if it doesn't work... Thank you MaMoUs | 00:11 |

| kingwooky | ok i have tried even running the recoveryies for both versions and they just stop at a certian point | 00:16 |
| bigleon | So is it safe to say if my other OS keeps Blue screening me but Linux isn't that my Windoze os is fudged and needs a clean install? | 00:16 |
| Vooloo | my middle mouse button stopped working, any way to activate it again? | 00:17 |
| zenom | my ubuntu vm on virtualbox keeps going to the "install screen" is there a way around that/ I don't have a disk in the drive | 00:17 |
| Coder7 | bigleon: did you try and install linux onto a drive that contained windows? | 00:17 |
| MaMoUs | kingwooky: when u enter the recovery there is a choice up there called root command port ?? | 00:17 |
| LifeEscalade | anyone know how to show status of services running in ubuntu? | 00:18 |
| slidinghorn | Vooloo, what function did it lose specifically? | 00:18 |
| dugger5688 | zenom: Do you have the .iso mounted? | 00:18 |
| zenom | dugger5688: no I double checked that too | 00:18 |
| kingwooky | how do i get to it... when i run the recovery a bunch of code flys down the screen | 00:18 |
| kingwooky | ill tell you what it stops at | 00:18 |
| bigleon | Yeah Coder7, different os on same HD with df partions | 00:18 |
| Vooloo | slidinghorn: well it didnt stop working, I have to press harder, not sure if it is some kind of sensitivity setting or the actual mouse :P | 00:18 |
| MaMoUs | kingwooky: before the recovery there is some choices | 00:18 |
| kingwooky | ok so im running the version 2.6.32-23 recovery | 00:19 |
| kingwooky | ya | 00:19 |
| cesar_CR | hello all, I'am having problems traying to install ubuntu 10.04, 9.10 worked great but whrn booting the cd I get BUG:soft lockup CPU#0 stuck for 61s | 00:19 |
| kingwooky | the gurb menu right | 00:19 |
| kingwooky | grub* | 00:19 |
| MaMoUs | ya | 00:19 |
| Coder7 | bigleon: windows can be VERY finicky about stuff. you can probably recover data off the partition easily within Linux, but windows may require a re-install | 00:19 |
| slidinghorn | Vooloo, from that description it sounds like the mouse itself...as far as I know there isn't any setting for the sensitivity of the mouse buttons themselves | 00:19 |
| kingwooky | ya i can choose a couple of things | 00:19 |
| zenom | dugger5688: ahh the settings in virtualbox had it set to the iso as the secondary ide slow. | 00:19 |
| zenom | slot | 00:19 |
| tomatto_ | please, is better program instead of parted for resizing ntfs partition? | 00:19 |
| cesar_CR | I've tried with noacpi but nothing works | 00:19 |
| bigleon | Coder7 I'm not to worried about it all my "goodies" are on a sperate partion from my windows parition | 00:19 |

| Coder7 | bigleon: I followed identical steps on two machines that involved resizing a windows partition. One blue screened, the other didn't. Windows is stupid like that. | 00:20 |
| Vooloo | slidinghorn: its one of these logitechs that activates superscrolling in windows, when you click the middle mouse the wheel turns faster... which is unsupported in linux but might affect the behaviour i guess | 00:20 |
| bigleon | Coder7 what i'm thinking about doing is is freshinstalling both win7 and ubuntu because they don't seem to be behaving. | 00:20 |
| cesar_CR | slidinghorn, yes it is fine, the same media works in another PC | 00:20 |

| LifeEscalade | anyone know how to show status of services that are running/not running? | 00:21 |
| bigleon | Coder7 Well it wouldn't hurt... Thing sucks i'll be going home to some "shitter-net" with very slow speeds so getting my apps will take ample time | 00:21 |
| Coder7 | bigleon: if you are having issues with windows blue screening, I'd fresh install, but make sure windows leaves enough space | 00:21 |
| skreet | LifeEscalade, service --status-all might be what you're looking for | 00:22 |
| twek | bigleon- moving the partition on widows does do stupid things to it sometimes | 00:22 |
| kingwooky | its stops at usb mass storage registered | 00:22 |
| slidinghorn | cesar_CR, are you doing a fresh install or an upgrade? | 00:22 |
| dugger5688 | I think windows is just stupid in general. | 00:22 |
| bigleon | Coder7 I was afraid that ubuntu's grub loader was messing with things, and i want to be able to set it so it auto loads Win7 Instead of Ubuntu I mainly use ubuntu for my nerd stuff lol while win7 for school/gaming | 00:23 |
| MaMoUs | kingwooky: well that is weird it is the first time i see this | 00:23 |
| cesar_CR | slidinghorn, fresh install | 00:23 |
| MaMoUs | kingwooky: i'm sorry i don't know what to say | 00:23 |
| MaMoUs | kingwooky: try google ^^ | 00:23 |
| kingwooky | if i click e on the grub menu it shows more option? do they do anything important? | 00:23 |
| skreet | bigleon, Did you install Ubuntu before or after windows on the disk? (i.e. what is the windows partition #) | 00:23 |
| Ebuntu | google? who uses that anymore :P | 00:23 |
| MaMoUs | kingwooky: what options | 00:23 |
| cesar_CR | slidinghorn, I trayed upgrading but It was worst, had to downgrade to 9.04 that one works | 00:23 |
| wombatman | me | 00:23 |
| MaMoUs | Ebuntu: hahahaa what do u use then ? | 00:24 |
| bigleon | skreet after windows parition. Windows is part C, My storage part is D and then ubuntu got E | 00:24 |
| kingwooky | i have tried google ... some people think it might be nvidia not knowing where the kernel is or somthing | 00:24 |
| kingwooky | with the new update | 00:24 |
| Ebuntu | Mamous, my psychic powwwers | 00:24 |
| skreet | bigleon, Windows drive letters arn't the same as partition numbers. Could you do an `fdisk -l /dev/sda` as root and pastebin the results? | 00:24 |
| skreet | bigleon, To be clear, Windows will perserve itself as "C" even if it's sda8 or higher :) | 00:24 |
| Coder7 | bigleon: you may want to virtualize one or the other. if you game in windows, you can virtualize ubuntu | 00:24 |
| MaMoUs | Ebuntu: hahaah .... XD do u know any thing about my problem ? | 00:24 |
| kingwooky | uhmm | 00:25 |
| kingwooky | one sec | 00:25 |
| MaMoUs | kingwooky: try go insdie the bios and disable the USB | 00:25 |
| MaMoUs | kingwooky: and then go to recovery mode and tell me what happen | 00:25 |
| Coder7 | bigleon: I used to dual boot, but I found I liked the virtualization option much more | 00:25 |

| LifeEscalade | nor does my webmin work | 00:26 |
| slidinghorn | cesar_CR, still looking but found one possible solution here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9283461&postcount=9 | 00:26 |
| Ebuntu | LifeEscalade, You runnun a server? | 00:26 |
| LifeEscalade | Ebuntu: yes | 00:26 |
| LifeEscalade | Ebuntu: 10.04 | 00:27 |
| LifeEscalade | check http://zomg.hopto.org and see if it loads for anyone | 00:27 |
| cesar_CR | slidinghorn, ok I will try right now if I can do that on cd boot time | 00:27 |
| skreet | LifeEscalade, it's not accepting connections on port 80, nor is it actively denying them. My guess is your firewall is not forwarding the port to the correct host. | 00:28 |
| LifeEscalade | gah | 00:28 |
| LifeEscalade | damnit | 00:28 |
| LifeEscalade | and that could be due to a router reset, huh? | 00:29 |
| kingwooky | same thing | 00:29 |
| skreet | LifeEscalade, Well, the port forward rule probably didn't go away -- but if you're using DHCP it's likely your host's IP has changed. | 00:29 |
| skreet | LifeEscalade, If you're hosting something in your house, I would recommend using a statically assigned IP outside of the DHCP scope. | 00:29 |
| kingwooky | ok this is all it says | 00:30 |
| kingwooky | well the bottom part anyways | 00:30 |
| LifeEscalade | well, my static ip hasnt changed from comcast. most likely the internal lan ip has and the port forwarded is to a different lan ip | 00:30 |
| cesar_CR | slidinghorn, with F6 there's a way to use that parameter, will see if it not hangs | 00:30 |
| LifeEscalade | lol gotta love getting an answer then answering the rest of my question :DS | 00:30 |
| LifeEscalade | :D* | 00:30 |
| skreet | LifeEscalade, Right, that's what I mean. DHCP on your home firewall got reset so hosts obtained IP in first-come-first-server manner, different from before. | 00:31 |
| pundit | 'apt-cache show package' shows very reasonable dependencies, while 'apt-get install package' wants to install packages which might not be necessary. Why the difference? | 00:31 |
| skreet | pundit, Crazy question: what's the package and what ubuntu version? :) | 00:31 |
| steuz | hola, does someone knows how to rotate ubuntu display? | 00:34 |
| LifeEscalade | skreet: now is there any way to have my server have a static lan ip so that way if i do reset my router due to unforseen issues, it will always get the same lan ip that way i dont have to keep editing my port forwarding? | 00:34 |

| skreet | LifeEscalade, Sure, use an IP outside of your DHCP range. For example if your router is 192.168.1.1, and your router gives out (you can get this range from your configuration page) 192.168.1.100-192.168.1.200, give your server 192.168.1.50. Be sure to get the subnet mask and DNS server addresses that are normally assigned via DHCP. | 00:35 |
| pundit | skreet its jaunty, and a lot of packages are concerned. for instance smartmontools. apt-cache shows everything right, but apt-get install wants to install exim and a lot of mail stuff, which is not necessary for monitoring a disk | 00:36 |
| LifeEscalade | skreet: now i would have to edit that within ubuntu, correct? | 00:36 |
| skreet | LifeEscalade, If this is Ubuntu Server, you have to edit /etc/network/interfaces where it says 'iface eth0 inet dhcp'. Let me see if I can find a guide on doing this. If it's Ubuntu Desktop, you can use the GUI. | 00:36 |

| skreet | pundit, Does yours look like this Recommends: default-mta | mail-transport-agent, locales, mime-support, libsasl2-modules | 00:43 |
| jowens | i tried to join ubuntu but was unable--cant use email on ubuntu so tried from another (Mac and then windows) could not. | 00:44 |
| amine | skreet: they are not listed in the source. They are retrieved using AJAX and the only place where you can get them are either browser cache, or use a packet sniffer and grab the URL then re-download within 30 seconds of the original request (or else session times out for that mp3 file) | 00:44 |
| skreet | amine, Ah, very tricky. | 00:44 |
| amine | skreet: yup. I need them within the hour otherwise I'd write the downloader myself | 00:45 |
| skreet | amine, And it's Flash that streams the audio so to be honest I don't know that the browser cache even comes in to play. | 00:45 |
| jowens | is there anyway to email someone in ubuntu help? | 00:45 |
| amine | skreet: it does :) | 00:45 |
| skreet | amine, I mean, is the *browser* even downloading the files, or is Adobe Flash libflashplayer.so doing it? | 00:45 |
| skreet | amine, Oh okay. | 00:45 |
| amine | skreet: the browser is downloading them from an akamai source :-) | 00:45 |
| pundit | skreet no. after doing the 'apt-get install' it says: 'installing the following new packages' and lists things like exim, which mutt for sure does not depend on! is there maybe a switch to make apt-get install only what is really neeeded? | 00:45 |
| kingwooky | anyone here know how to bind a static ip to a program? | 00:46 |
| skreet | amine, I don't know how the site works, but perhaps a greasemonkey script if you're creative with JavaScript :] | 00:46 |
| upgrdman | how do i assign what function my mouse's extra buttons perform? prefs > mouse doesn't seem to have the option | 00:46 |
| nsh | often, it goes down like this: i download some software source code, try to compile it, make conks out with a load of incomprehensible errors, i have to scan through to find out what missing file caused gcc to asplode | 00:46 |
| amine | skreet: it's for grooveshark, basically. | 00:46 |
| === xsaiddx is now known as kosaidpo | ||
| skreet | pundit, Does mutt depend on 'default-mta' though. I think default-mta is a metapackage that can include exim. | 00:46 |
| skreet | pundit, *depend on or recommend | 00:47 |
| nsh | then i have to work out what library would contain that file, search the apt-cache for the right package name, and manually install it | 00:47 |
| nsh | rinse lather repeat | 00:47 |
| kingwooky | anyone here know how to bind a static ip to a program?? | 00:47 |
| nsh | how do i make this not be a part of my life? | 00:47 |
| pundit | skreet that makes sense. thanks. | 00:47 |
| skreet | nsh, Most programs come with a "configure" script -- are you running this first? It checks for required libraries and provides much more usable output. | 00:47 |

| cesar_CR | video download helper https://addons.mozilla.org/es-ES/firefox/addon/3006/?src=api | 00:49 |
| nsh | skreet, often it does, sometimes it only checks a few things and you still have to manually resolve dependencies. make and configure are basically 80's technology that haven't been improved upon in a generation, and for the life of me i can't see why... | 00:49 |
| skreet | kingwooky, What program? | 00:49 |
| jowens | jowens has to quit | 00:49 |
| kingwooky | starcraft | 00:49 |
| skreet | kingwooky, You're referring to your local IP address on your system? | 00:49 |
| cesar_CR | amine, video download helper | 00:49 |
| nsh | i think the problem is that they work well enough, most of the time. the curse of satisficement | 00:49 |
| amine | cesar_CR: trying it now, I'll report back in a few minutes. Thanks | 00:49 |
| kingwooky | skreet, im referring to me quamachi ip\ | 00:50 |
| skreet | nsh, I don't disagree but in my experience configure takes quite some time and checks every dependancy known to man. | 00:50 |
| onadal | hi everyone | 00:50 |
| sam_ | Coder7: its a new model, so Google is no help | 00:50 |
| onadal | I want to know how to find a video downloaded from youtube | 00:50 |
| kingwooky | skreet, so i can play my friend over the internet | 00:50 |
| skreet | kingwooky, I recall having this same problem with starcraft, and I don't know that I ever came up with a solution -- starcraft seems to bind to whatever IP is on the interface and broadcast games on the address. | 00:51 |
| HowardTheDuck | hey | 00:51 |
| cesar_CR | so my home PC will stay in 9.10 hoping that the next release solvs the BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s! problem | 00:51 |
| HowardTheDuck | can someone tell me how I'd change Power Management settings for the Login screen? | 00:51 |
| onadal | i used terminal youtube-dl | 00:51 |
| kingwooky | skreet, there is this program for windows called forcebind ip do you think it will work on ubuntu? | 00:51 |
| sam_ | Coder7: its a Samsung q430 | 00:51 |
| skreet | cesar_CR, It's only after upgrading to 10.04? You may want to report the error to Ubuntu on launchpad.net. | 00:51 |
| HowardTheDuck | this box i just built goes into hibernate or something on the login screen when idle and i cant wake it back up except to turn it off and turn it on | 00:51 |
| skreet | kingwooky, You mean in wine? I highly doubt it -- but it probably won't hurt to try. | 00:52 |
| indrora | kingwooky: No, it uses low-level IP functions that Wine doesn't support. | 00:52 |
| cesar_CR | skreet, yes fresh install | 00:52 |
| kingwooky | skreet, ok... i asked some one this before and they said i had to append the ip to my host name | 00:52 |
| skreet | cesar_CR, It's likely a 2.6.32 kernel conflict that will need to be addressed. Try posting a bug report and include your system specs if possible. | 00:52 |
| cesar_CR | going to... skreet thanks ! | 00:53 |
| skreet | kingwooky, Starcraft doesn't allow IP or hostname based connections as I recall -- it only works on broadcasts. So I don't think you can do that. | 00:53 |
| kingwooky | skreet, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9549388#post9549388 | 00:53 |
| HowardTheDuck | can someone please tell me how to change power management settings for GDM? | 00:54 |
| skreet | kingwooky, I'm fairly certain that won't have any effect. But if you want to try, add a line to that file (that's what append means) something like "5.1.2.3 your-hostname", where 5.1.2.3 is your haimatchi IP and your-hostname is whatever your PC is called. | 00:54 |
| onadal | I want to know how to find a video downloaded from youtube, using youtube-dl | 00:55 |
| skreet | HowardTheDuck, I think (and I'm really just making a guess, I suppose) that the power management setting made within your login by going to System > Administration > Power Management would apply to GDM as well. I believe they are system-wide. | 00:55 |
| cesar_CR | amine, did the plugin worked ? | 00:55 |
| kingwooky | skreet, do you know of any programs that might bind the ip? | 00:55 |
| Coder7 | Starcraft uses IPX, so you can get IPX tunneling/bridging tools, but it will not work well | 00:56 |
| skreet | kingwooky, Generally in order to bind to a specific interface the program itself has to support it -- that's why I don't think editing hosts will work. Unfortunately (or fortunately for blizzards sales, I suppose), Starcraft won't do this. | 00:56 |
| onadal | I want to know how to find a video downloaded from youtube, using youtube-dl, anyone can help? | 00:56 |
| HowardTheDuck | skreet: unfortunately not. | 00:56 |
| skreet | Coder7, the newer versions support TCP/IP but broadcast to the network associated with the actual primary interface which is why systems like Hamachi don't work as you'd expect. | 00:57 |
| onadal | i see | 00:57 |
| kingwooky | skreet, maby is there any programs that can bind wine to an ip? | 00:57 |
| skreet | HowardTheDuck, Hrm, that's surprising. | 00:57 |
| onadal | so | 00:58 |
| skreet | kingwooky, I don't see an option in winecfg to bind to a particular interface... | 00:58 |

| sam_ | skreet: yes, internal audio | 00:59 |
| skreet | kingwooky, You don't make another program to bind an existing program to an interface. The original program would have to be written to do so. | 00:59 |

| Xunie | "some weirded out simple interface", by that I mean a window that does not have tabs or anything, just allows me to select "play login sound", select if I want someone to be automatically logged in on boot up, and that's it. | 01:01 |

| slidinghorn | johntramp, those should usually work as well... | 01:29 |
| slidinghorn | johntramp, I have a Sony DXG-125V HD that was plug & play | 01:29 |
| timemachine3030 | i updated to 10.04 for 9.10 Monday, last week, and now I'm having issues with Firefox and Chrome google searches redirecting me to a yahoo 403 error, I just can't sort it out. | 01:29 |
| johntramp | slidinghorn: so does that show up as an external hard drive when you connect it to the pc? | 01:30 |
| kingwooky | skreet, in the cmos setup under advandced chipset features and nvidia raid setup should the sata channels be disabled or enabled? | 01:31 |
| slidinghorn | johntramp, yeah...popped right up in nautilus under "Computer" -- didn't check to see if it did on the desktop | 01:31 |
| matthew_ | is there a way to change the "places" that show up in the "main menu"...I mean, instead of going to the folder labeled music, can I direct it to open my music folder on another partition? | 01:32 |
| tle | hey, does anyone know if there are maintained objective-c bindings for GTK? | 01:32 |
| kingwooky | skreet, ? disabled or enabled? | 01:33 |
| Ofrepose | What is some of the best applications for ubuntu?? | 01:34 |
| IdleOne | !best | 01:34 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 01:34 |
| skreet | kingwooky, They should be left at whatever setting it was at the last time this worked correctly. Or has this never worked before? | 01:34 |

| kingwooky | skreet, this would be alot easier if i knew what was wrong... and yes it was working just yesterday on ubuntu | 01:36 |

| Mr_Sonoma | Ashex, user not in the appropriate group for plug devices? | 01:42 |
| kingwooky | skreet, i can boot from the usb but it wont install ubuntu on the drive so im gunna see if it will install on a different one | 01:43 |
| kingwooky | skreet, it will stop at a certian point | 01:43 |
| skreet | kingwooky, I asked if you could boot from CD and you said you could not boot from USB.. | 01:44 |
| kingwooky | skreet, i can but i cant run ubuntu off the usb or install it on the drive so thats what i ment | 01:44 |
| kingwooky | skreet, like it shows the lil menu with the selections but once i click one them it shows some code then stops | 01:45 |
| skreet | kingwooky, That "code" is probably very useful. What does it say? | 01:46 |

| slidinghorn | Vin73, I'll try to help, but just know that I am no expert...in the future, try to keep it to one line when possible :) are you using synaptic or apt-get? | 02:04 |
| karma_police | i have done that | 02:04 |
| tazman1a | karma_police: I thought IE only worked on Windoes | 02:04 |

| Vin73 | slidinghorn: apt-get | 02:04 |
| karma_police | i have been trying ies4linux but its not working with 10.04 | 02:04 |
| skreet | kingwooky, Sure, why not. It probably won't work though. | 02:05 |
| kingwooky | skreet, i think its cause i put it in upside down one time | 02:05 |

| slidinghorn | Vin73, what version of ubuntu are you using? | 02:06 |
| skreet | chalcedny, I'm not sure you'll be able to use 10.04 on a 12" monochrome monitor :P. If you use Ubuntu Server the installer isn't graphical and may be easier to read, but you'll have to then install the 'ubuntu-desktop' pakcgae if you want a GUI... | 02:06 |
| skreet | chalcedny, Probably a way to install Ubuntu Desktop with text-mode installer but I don't know it. | 02:06 |
| xangua | looks like that project is dead since 2006 karma_police :S | 02:06 |
| slidinghorn | chalcedny, are you doing a dual boot or will the machine only have Ubuntu? | 02:06 |
| king313 | Hi. How can I install a crypted LVM system from the installation CD? | 02:06 |
| Vin73 | slidinghorn: lucid | 02:06 |
| maco | skreet, chalcedony: there's an alternate install cd that is a text installer too. no need to go for a server cd | 02:07 |
| kingwooky | skreet, oh well.. you wanted that code that shows when i try to install ubuntu from usb? | 02:07 |
| karma_police | guess i will just have to dualboot then.. was hoping to find an alternative | 02:07 |
| chalcedony | slidinghorn, just ubuntu 10.04 LTS | 02:07 |
| pres | That is funny. I was on the UbuntuForums.org a minute ago. I replied to someones post with "wtf" and now I can't access the forums. What's going on? | 02:07 |

| skreet | maco, I fail on two counts! | 02:08 |
| h00k | pres: Please watch the language in here, obfuscated swearing isn't welcome here. If you're having problems on the Ubuntu Forums, you should probably check their guidelines, this isn't ubuntu-forum support. | 02:08 |

| maco | skreet: server installs wont run on a lot of hardware anyway. like, if it doesnt have pae support (and if its like 5 years old, it doesnt) itll just kernel panic on boot | 02:09 |

| Random832 | pres: what was the post you replied to, and what did you say? | 02:11 |
| skreet | maco, You're right -- I assume people arn't putting 10.04 on hardware much older than that - but they probably are :] | 02:11 |

| chalcedony | skreet, it's a brand new computer too new for 8.04 to support the nic, it's just an old monitor and we don't need it for graphics | 02:12 |
| skreet | chalcedony, Ah, I'm surprised you have an old *working* 12" monochrome display. | 02:13 |
| slidinghorn | chalcedny, use this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall -- I would recommend using about 10GB for the / partition and create a /home partition with the vast majority of your HDD space -- it will help when upgrading to newer versions in the future | 02:13 |
| kingwooky | skreet, http://paste.ubuntu.com/459647/ | 02:13 |
| un214 | I used 80gb for / | 02:13 |
| kingwooky | skreet, thats the bottom part | 02:13 |
| un214 | so far its 22% full | 02:13 |
| kingwooky | skreet, where it stops | 02:13 |
| pres | h00k, just so you know. Yes I did get email. But it claimed I was spam advertising and then gave me a link for more information which I can't access because I'm banned for whatever reason I have no idea. I'd just appreciate some sort of explanation. That's all. | 02:13 |
| skreet | kingwooky, And it stops there?? That really doesn't mean anything except "you plugging in a USB device" | 02:13 |
| un214 | so I'd recommend 20gb for / if you can afford it | 02:14 |
| slidinghorn | un214, did you setup a separate partition for your /home? | 02:14 |
| un214 | yes | 02:14 |

| kingwooky | skreet, yep stops there and a lil white line flashes at the bottom | 02:14 |
| un214 | if I had 10 I would have had to grow it twice now | 02:14 |
| maco | un214: is that with or without a separate /home ? | 02:14 |
| un214 | separate /home | 02:14 |
| skreet | un214, maco, really depends on how you handle large programs or if you have big apps to install. my desktop box has 5.4G on / out of 7.3G -- home is where all the space is and I install things like netbeans and games there instead of system locations | 02:15 |
| h00k | pres: well, we don't deal with ubuntuforums stuff in this channel, you'd have to check #ubuntuforums. I assume it was some mistake, then | 02:15 |
| maco | un214: how are you using that much space? i never went over 10GB til i started doing development at which point -doc, -dev, and -dbg packages did it, so now i use 15GB. are you *never* cleaning out /var/cache/apt/archives/ or something? | 02:15 |
| kingwooky | skreet, the thing above it is n't support DPO or FUA and some stuff | 02:16 |

| sean-laptop | omry, did you try installing the drivers with an ndiswrapper | 02:16 |
| sean-laptop | ? | 02:16 |
| maco | un214: even with kde and gnome and all of texlive (which is about 1.5GB on its own) id only use 7GB until i added devel packages | 02:16 |

| kingwooky | skreet, it say write protect is off also | 02:17 |
| omry | sean-laptop, nope. didn't do anything expect look for an answer online yet (don't know much about wireless) | 02:17 |
| un214 | I needed the i386 schroot jail <and> another copy of the system to own core drivers as updates keep installing broken ones | 02:17 |
| kingwooky | skreet, so that isnt the problem | 02:17 |
| omry | sean-laptop, ^ | 02:17 |
| omry | skreet, nope. how do I check? | 02:17 |
| sean-laptop | omry, you would be best to find the drivers after you identify the card, then try installing it with an ndiswrapper | 02:18 |
| skreet | omry, I'd start by putting the output of lspci into http://paste.ubuntu.com/ -- should tell you (and us!) | 02:18 |
| sean-laptop | omry, the windows driver that is | 02:18 |
| skreet | sean-laptop, omry, What if it's supported natively... :) | 02:18 |
| omry | I think that's the one : 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Device 4353 (rev 01) | 02:18 |
| omry | makes sense? | 02:19 |
| skreet | omry, So there's a whole thing with Broadcom you have to do, let me find the docs. | 02:19 |
| kingwooky | skreet, what should i be looking for? | 02:19 |
| omry | sean-laptop, I hope not to have to use any hacks like these :) | 02:20 |

| Anom01y | hi, my computer crashes once in a while if I leave it in tty7, its been doing it for years. I've tried upgrading, changing o/s', removing hardware, | 02:20 |
| debugview | hi, is it possible to install a GUI for ubuntu server if i only have SSH remote access? someone mentioned VNC but it is only CLI how does it "render" the UI? | 02:21 |
| Anom01y | the only way I have discovered to prevent this is to leave it in tty1 when I am not using the computer, as it only freezes when I am NOT using it.. (usually at night time or when I go to work) | 02:21 |
| Anom01y | so here is my question for anyone who cares:::: | 02:21 |
| kitche | debugview by X running | 02:21 |
| skreet | omry, I can't seem to find a guide for 10.04 -- only older versions... still looking | 02:21 |
| debugview | kitche, does that include stuff like a normal ubuntu desktop? | 02:22 |
| debugview | start menu, etc.. | 02:22 |
| Vin73 | hi, how can I disable automatic lock screen on lucid...I am using Gnome desktop | 02:22 |
| Anom01y | How can I automate Ubuntu to switch to tty1 when the computer goes in standby or goes to a screensaver ??? | 02:22 |
| Vin73 | slidinghorn: thanks... | 02:22 |
| skreet | omry, One guide says that the native Hardware Drivers dialog will do it -- have you tried going to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers? | 02:22 |
| Anom01y | I am using xfce | 02:22 |
| xangua | Vin73: system> preferences> screensaver | 02:22 |
| Vin73 | xangua: thanks | 02:23 |
| Anom01y | I had a scheduled task program once that would put the computer to tty1 at 12:00 at night, | 02:23 |
| omry | skreet, actually I tried. nothing in there (I am not really familiar with ubuntu so I might missed something obvious) | 02:23 |
| Anom01y | but I would rather it go to tty1 after 20min's of inactivity | 02:24 |
| omry | skreet, surprise. now there is something there. | 02:24 |
| omry | checking it out | 02:24 |
| devgrusea1 | I've cfg'd SSH to use pub/priv key auth, but it keeps denying by putty-converted private key. What gives? | 02:24 |
| Anom01y | because resetting the computer really is a pain, and its even more painful knowing that my computer should be more stable than windoze anything... | 02:24 |
| samalex01 | howdy... | 02:24 |
| skreet | omry, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu -- you may need to enable the 'Restricted'/'Universe' or 'Multiverse' repositories before the Broadcom driver will show up in that menu. | 02:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Id just disable teh standby mode thing competely. | 02:25 |
| omry | skreet, it's already in there. installing now | 02:25 |
| omry | looks promising | 02:25 |
| edlang | Hi -- I've just started using mutt with mail delivered by procmail. For a pair of mailboxes, mutt loops between them, saying the other has new mail. | 02:25 |
| edlang | The mutt documentation says this occurs when something updates the mtime of the files, such as biff / frm | 02:26 |
| Dr_Willis | debugview: vnc renders the desktop to the 'local' vnc client/viewer. freenx also lets you see a remote 'desktop' locally. | 02:26 |
| edlang | However, lsof shows no other process has the files open. | 02:26 |
| edlang | Any suggestions? | 02:26 |
| Dr_Willis | debugview: or you just ssh to the remote. run a X app and have it appear as a single app, on the local X desktop. | 02:26 |
| skreet | edlang, For what it's worth a process doesn't need to hold open a file to quickly change it's mtime. Can you confirm the mtime change by using something like 'stat' on the file before and after mutt tells you it's been updated? | 02:26 |
| Vin73 | hi, I would like to remove the password prompt each time I perform a system administration task on lucid by means of Gnome desktop....is there a way to do it? | 02:26 |

| gOLDfeesh | Hey is there a reason as to why Pidgin was removed as the default IM client? I know Empathy is pretty decent but tbch I don't think it has half the great features as pidgin. I know I could always just purge it but .. seriously.. -sigh- | 02:29 |
| Luija1006 | Dr_Willis: normal | 02:29 |
| gOLDfeesh | </end rant> | 02:29 |
| un214 | Vin73: that's when I keep a root prompt up on tty1 | 02:29 |
| skreet | gOLDfeesh, a-greed. :( | 02:29 |
| omry | skreet, looks like the driver is installed but it does not see the wireless network | 02:29 |
| Dr_Willis | Luija1006: not reading them is differnt from 'not auto mounting them' - try mountuing them by hand. with the proper mount command. | 02:29 |
| omry | tried networking restart. no luck | 02:29 |
| skreet | omry, It's just now installed, or has been installed? NetworkManager might need to be restarted if you just installed the driver. | 02:29 |
| omry | just now installed it | 02:29 |
| Luija1006 | Dr_Willis: and whats that command? | 02:29 |
| Dr_Willis | gOLDfeesh: personally i dont use either. | 02:29 |
| Dr_Willis | Luija1006: sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom (or similer) | 02:30 |
| skreet | omry, I don't think that Ubuntu will insmod the driver until reboot -- have you rebooted? | 02:30 |
| Dr_Willis | !mount | Luija1006 | 02:30 |
| ubottu | Luija1006: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 02:30 |
| gOLDfeesh | Dr_Willis what do you use as a jabber client then? or do you not use IM? | 02:30 |

| omry | skreet, networkmanager == /etc/init.d/ networking ? | 02:33 |
| Luija1006 | Dr_Willis: still not reading | 02:34 |
| omry | skreet, not b43. | 02:34 |
| skreet | omry, Nope, NetworkManager is the GUI level app that manages all your network interfaces. Most configuration for Ubuntu desktop is done outside of /etc/init.d/networking and /etc/network/interfaces. | 02:34 |

| p4nt0mafdsadf | edbian, actually, i see it, but once i click on my name, it logins in | 03:08 |
| edbian | p4nt0mafdsadf, You just need to find the setting in KDE for auto-login and turn it off. Worst case scenario you need to edit gconf. You should not have to remove KDE | 03:08 |
| edbian | p4nt0mafdsadf, Oh, if you see it than don't click you name click the session button at the bottom. | 03:08 |
| p4nt0mafdsadf | edbian, i dont see it UNless i press OTHER and then type my name | 03:09 |

| TomT64 | yeah I was worried about what would happen if the journaling was messed up, looks like the FAQ answers that | 03:13 |
| Vin73 | You will need to add a line to /etc/sudoers to allow yourself unrestricted access to root -- it's not a good idea, but I do it. type 'sudo visudo' in a terminal to edit the sudoers file then add: | 03:13 |
| HexLaTor | Vin73, add the current user to root group...i guess it'l work | 03:14 |

| chalcedny | it slowed down and timed out.. something was making it open a lot of screenshots. i turned it off and restarted it. didn't see any errors, but it has no internet connection | 03:50 |
| [Screamo] | heh | 03:50 |
| mac9416_ | Spyzer, you're trying to boot non-Ubuntu ISOs from USB? | 03:50 |

| chalcedny | [Screamo], is there a way to tell if it's the computer or if i pulled something out of the wiring? | 03:51 |
| chalcedny | tonsofpcs, hi hugs .. seems i did | 03:51 |
| [Screamo] | chalcedny, if it was working fine before, and all you did was restart it, then your network manager prolly crashed | 03:51 |
| mac9416_ | Spyzer, haha, I didn't mean it that way. I was just going to say that you might find some tutorials for non-Linux ISOs at the pendrivelinux website. | 03:51 |
| tonsofpcs | chalcedny: ifconfig -a show an eth#? | 03:51 |
| Rinku | anyone familiar with Colinux | 03:52 |
| [Screamo] | not sure if this will work but try running this in terminal: nm-applet --sm-disable | 03:52 |
| tonsofpcs | Rinku: yes | 03:52 |
| Rinku | ^^ segfault | 03:52 |
| Spyzer | oh, just tell me this if i do a dd /dir/myISO /dev/pendrive will that make the pendrive bootable and working and all | 03:52 |
| Rinku | Running Debian based 2.6.26.8-co-0.7.7.1 | 03:52 |

| [Screamo] | chalcedny, run nm-applet in terminal | 03:53 |
| Spyzer | will u kindly answer it ?? | 03:53 |
| [Screamo] | it should say ragnarok@ragnarok-desktop:~$ nm-applet | 03:54 |
| [Screamo] | An instance of nm-applet is already running | 03:54 |
| chalcedny | tonsofpcs, yes my desktop ubuntu 9.04 | 03:54 |

| muni | mac9416: how can i remove ubuntu | 03:55 |
| SteveThing | does 10.04 LTS support TRIM like windows does? I just bought an Intel X25-M and would like to ensure Ubuntu isn't going to be a detriment to the drive. | 03:55 |
| === Rinku is now known as rinku_kokiri | ||
| [Screamo] | chalcedny, did you do it? | 03:55 |
| tonsofpcs | muni: install something else | 03:55 |

| Vin73 | is there a command to find out the video driver being used on lucid? | 03:55 |
| tonsofpcs | SteveThing: TRIM? | 03:55 |
| muni | tonsofpcs: yes ubuntu 64 bit | 03:55 |
| chalcedny | nm-applet:4453Could not acquire the network manager | 03:55 |
| tonsofpcs | Vin73: you can look in xorg.conf .... i don't know beyond that | 03:55 |
| SteveThing | tonsofpcs, SSD drive optimization tool to prevent SSD degredation. | 03:56 |
| chalcedny | tonsofpcs, permssion denied | 03:56 |
| [Screamo] | chalcedny, sounds like your network manager is dead -. | 03:56 |
| rinku_kokiri | Anyone know why apt-get would segfault on libapt-pkg-libc6.2-3-2.so.3.2.0 ? | 03:56 |
| muni | tonsofpcs: how can i remove ubuntu | 03:56 |
| tonsofpcs | muni: just install something else | 03:57 |
| tonsofpcs | chalcedny: ah, sudo ifconfig -a << what's that got? | 03:57 |
| [Screamo] | chalcedny, try "nm" | 03:57 |
| maco | muni: just install some other OS on the hard drive where ubuntu currently is | 03:57 |
| glick | rinku_kokiri, file a bug report | 03:57 |
| muni | tonsofpcs: ya i know that but how | 03:57 |
| glick | it shouldnt do thta | 03:57 |
| chalcedny | hmm | 03:57 |
| tonsofpcs | muni: whatever you want to replce it with | 03:57 |
| chalcedny | i changed wires | 03:57 |
| sean-laptop | muni, you mean delete the operating system? run a livecd on boot.. run gparted and delete the partition | 03:57 |
| chalcedny | ifup eth0 still nothing.. what is a 'network manager'? | 03:57 |
| muni | sean-laptop: yes | 03:58 |
| tonsofpcs | network manager is the gnome gui tool that runs ifup and ifdown and such | 03:58 |
| [Screamo] | chalcedny, it manages network connections | 03:58 |
| chalcedny | nm:'a.out': No such file | 03:58 |
| indrora | chalcedny: nm-applet | 03:58 |
| muni | maco : i have vista but its not running | 03:58 |
| sean-laptop | muni, run the livecd.. then go to gparted under applications and just delete the partition | 03:58 |
| [Screamo] | <chalcedny> nm-applet:4453Could not acquire the network manager | 03:58 |
| chalcedny | yeah | 03:58 |
| indrora | Something's broken then | 03:59 |
| tonsofpcs | chalcedny: "sudo ifconfig -a" << does that list an eth#? | 03:59 |
| chalcedny | ok hmm | 03:59 |
| chalcedny | ok | 03:59 |
| muni | sean-laptop: i dont have partitions | 03:59 |
| indrora | Not quite as broken as my machine at the moment. Anyone know why X would make a radeon video card go insane and blank its screen | 03:59 |
| sean-laptop | muni, ...... you HAVE to have at least the main partition and the swap lol | 04:00 |
| chalcedny | tonsofpcs, no, it doesn't it has lo and pan 0 | 04:00 |
| tonsofpcs | chalcedny: with the sudo? (if so, it seems there is a device issue) | 04:00 |
| [Screamo] | chalcedny, try sudo nm-applet | 04:00 |
| thune3 | SteveThing: this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1504907&page=2 says TRIM support was added to linux 2.6.33 (lucid is 2.6.32), you add a discard option to mount/fstab line. This should be good in Meerkat. | 04:00 |
| [Screamo] | err | 04:00 |
| WXZ | is it possible to run ubuntu on a blackberry | 04:00 |
| tonsofpcs | WXZ: no | 04:00 |
| chalcedny | tonsofpcs, i did put the sudo pass | 04:00 |
| [Screamo] | chalcedny, lspci in terminal, look for a network card | 04:00 |
| sean-laptop | muni, the hard drive itself is a partition.. a single one with a separate swap partition | 04:00 |
| WXZ | not even through a virtual machine? | 04:00 |
| Vin73 | Is there a default password associated with root login on lucid? | 04:01 |
| sean-laptop | Vin73, try 'root'? | 04:01 |
| xangua | better buy an android phone WXZ or maybe openmoko¿¿ | 04:01 |
| muni | sean-laptop: i know that i can't run and install vista | 04:01 |
| WXZ | they can run ubuntu :D | 04:01 |
| tonsofpcs | chalcedny: is this an onboard ethernet controller or is it on a card? | 04:01 |
| chalcedny | tonsofpcs, on board | 04:02 |
| tonsofpcs | hmmm | 04:02 |
| sean-laptop | muni, you want to dual boot? i recommend 7 not vista.. | 04:02 |
| Vin73 | sean-laptop: not it is not working... | 04:02 |
| rinku_kokiri | hrm | 04:02 |
| muni | sean-laptop: thanks but how | 04:02 |
| [Screamo] | chalcedny, did you run "lspci"? | 04:02 |
| [Screamo] | your looking for an ethernet_controller or network_controller | 04:02 |
| chalcedny | [Screamo], yes i'm trying to see it | 04:02 |
| sean-laptop | muni, you have to resize your partition and then set up a separate partition for vista | 04:03 |
| tonsofpcs | lspci | grep -i eth | 04:03 |
| chalcedny | tonsofpcs, did that, nothiong | 04:03 |
| chalcedny | nothing too | 04:03 |
| ceeck65 | buenas noches | 04:03 |

| tucemiux | anyone here uses NX server? I am trying to install and configure NX server | 04:04 |
| [Screamo] | chalcedny, its not listing a ethernet/network controller? | 04:04 |
| tonsofpcs | tucemiux: i tried once, pita | 04:04 |
| tucemiux | ceeck65, hola, aqui todo es en ingles | 04:04 |
| muni | sean-laptop: my pc is a ubuntu based pc and i have no, partitions ..... and i want to install 7 | 04:04 |
| tonsofpcs | chalcedny: could it be disabledd in the bios possibly? | 04:04 |
| chalcedny | tonsofpcs, nothing | 04:04 |
| rinku_kokiri | Segfault solved with "rm -rf /var/cache/apt/*.bin" && echo 'APT::Cache-Limit "8388608";' > /etc/apt/apt.conf | 04:04 |
| chalcedny | it was working until i shut it off because it froze | 04:05 |
| tonsofpcs | i would check that | 04:05 |
| tucemiux | tonsofpcs, ok well i already have an ssh server and know how to administer it, installing nx after that shouldnt be too hard, i just have a question with the specifics | 04:05 |
| [Screamo] | chalcedny, have you tried rebooting? | 04:05 |
| [Screamo] | =/ | 04:05 |
| sean-laptop | muni, yes i thought that it was.. you have to go into gparted and resize the partition.. your computer has to have one partition on the hard drive. otherwise it would not allow installing of ubuntu.. | 04:05 |
| chalcedny | [Screamo], that sounds easier than messing with bios which i didn't toucn | 04:05 |
| chalcedny | touch | 04:05 |
| tonsofpcs | tucemiux: ssh servers are easy. | 04:05 |
| sean-laptop | muni, you have an ext3 partition.. hyou need to make one that is itfs | 04:05 |
| sean-laptop | muni, i mean ntfs | 04:06 |
| SteveThing | thune3, thank you. reading up on it now | 04:06 |
| chalcedny | i'm worried that it broke it - i didnt turn it off | 04:06 |
| tucemiux | muni, why would you want to install windows7 on a machine that has ubuntu on it already? | 04:06 |
| chalcedny | er bios | 04:06 |
| [Screamo] | chalcedny, if rebooting doesnt work, you might try booting into a livecd | 04:06 |
| sean-laptop | muni, if you are wanting 7 to run certain programs why not try Wine or Wine-Doors | 04:07 |
| [Screamo] | lol @ wine | 04:07 |
| muni | tucemiux: i want to install 64 bit ubuntu | 04:07 |
| [Screamo] | none of the windows programs i want to run will wine = | 04:07 |
| [Screamo] | =/ | 04:07 |
| tonsofpcs | sean-laptop: wine still doesn't have directdraw (part of windows 3.0) working properly. | 04:07 |
| sean-laptop | muni, you could also just look for an alternative program to the windows oneyou want | 04:07 |
| sean-laptop | tonsofpcs, i know that.. jsut trying to help this one.. i perfer avoiding wine at all costs | 04:08 |
| muni | sean-laptop: i know about wine but what is wine-doors | 04:08 |
| Pondera | can anyone suggest a good ereader program for ubuntu/deb ? | 04:08 |
| muni | sean-laptop: is there any way to install 64bit using a 32 bit ubuntu | 04:09 |
| indrora | Can anyone figure out why my computer's screen goes white and fades and hangs when I start up my machine? | 04:09 |
| sean-laptop | muni, winedoors is a more gui based wine.. has some single click installation such as for running WoW (i dont play it myself) or things that are dependant on windows applications | 04:09 |
| acovrig | I have postfix and courier, why can't i send/recieve mail with squirrelmail? | 04:09 |
| sean-laptop | muni, i have no clue. i own nothing with 64 bit architecture | 04:09 |
| Hathadar | I have a drive mounted to /media/usb-hdd How does ubuntu determine to write files to /media/usb-hdd or on the drive i mounted to that folder? | 04:10 |
| muni | sean-laptop: can i report my prblm | 04:10 |
| sean-laptop | yeah i would guess.. what is the exact issue though.. you want to install windows (on a separate partition) for what reason.. and the 64 bit issue | 04:11 |
| unclemantis | I have tried everything that I can find on google and I am out of options. I need some help. I am running bootstrap.sh for thrift and I am getting the following error.

| Pondera | Can anyone suggest a good ereader program to read e-books in ubuntu ? | 04:12 |
| tonsofpcs | unclemantis: sounds like the 'thrift' file you have is corrupt | 04:12 |
| tonsofpcs | try asking their devs. | 04:12 |
| xangua | Pondera: evince¿ | 04:12 |
| unclemantis | so re download and try again? | 04:12 |
| Pondera | evince | 04:12 |
| Pondera | ok thanks ill look it up | 04:12 |
| tonsofpcs | unclemantis: it's probably not ready for public use | 04:12 |
| muni | sean-laptop:no i cant find any way to install 64bit , but i found that if i have windows on my pc i can run the 64bit installer | 04:12 |
| chalcedny | hmmm | 04:13 |
| tonsofpcs | anything, chalcedny? | 04:13 |
| sean-laptop | oh.,. why not download and burn the 64 bit version and then run it as a livecd? it could be a bad checksum.. you may just have to re-download it | 04:13 |
| chalcedny | tonsofpcs, doesn't seem to | 04:14 |
| mobile | huh | 04:14 |
| muni | sean-laptop:how can i run it as a live cd | 04:14 |

| kelberry | I'm looking for some help. | 04:15 |
| unclemantis | thought i got the stable versikon | 04:15 |
| tonsofpcs | chalcedny: i would definitely check your bios for a disabling option | 04:15 |
| unclemantis | sorry... kitty ass in the way | 04:15 |
| chalcedny | ok | 04:15 |
| sean-laptop | just search and download then burn the livecd from the site.. then just throw it in the cd drive. then boot from the cd | 04:15 |
| sean-laptop | it will load it | 04:15 |
| unclemantis | i will lroll back to a past version | 04:15 |
| muni | sean-laptop: no that's the problem its not loading when i restart my pc | 04:16 |
| unclemantis | This is the one i am using "The latest stable release of Thrift is 0.2.0 (released on 2009-12-11). " | 04:16 |
| unclemantis | so what's the deal? | 04:16 |
| kelberry | May someone help me with a sound card issue? :) | 04:16 |
| muni | kelberry: try system testing | 04:16 |
| kelberry | Okay. | 04:17 |

| muni | kelberry:system>administration>system testing | 04:17 |
| unclemantis | 0.2.0 is the only version they have available | 04:19 |
| unclemantis | again... any other ideas? | 04:19 |
| tonsofpcs | unclemantis: talk to their support. clearly you're trying to build it from source, so ask them. | 04:19 |
| unclemantis | There is no binaries available so ok. Thanks | 04:19 |

| kelberry | I believe it is my sound card, or something. | 04:21 |
| tonsofpcs | kelberry: killall pulsseaudio | 04:21 |
| tonsofpcs | err | 04:21 |
| sean-laptop | furythor, i had issues with that too.,. i found that installing compiz helped. | 04:21 |
| tonsofpcs | killall pulseaudio | 04:21 |
| tonsofpcs | ^^ should fix it | 04:21 |
| FloodBot3 | tonsofpcs: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:21 |
| furythor | sean-laptop: what kind of issues ? | 04:21 |
| tonsofpcs | FloodBot3: that's command separation, please learn to not suck at your job :) | 04:21 |
| sean-laptop | furythor, just that it would only use it as default vga and not specific hardware | 04:22 |
| furythor | sean-laptop: well I did get proprietary drivers to work, however card was not identified right and some features did not work | 04:22 |
| kelberry | Okay, I did the system testing. | 04:23 |
| sean-laptop | furythor, try an ndiswrapper? | 04:23 |
| furythor | naah, I did upgrade to 10.04 but I don't like this | 04:23 |
| thune3 | kelberry: what's the issue you are experiencing? | 04:23 |
| furythor | so I am thinking of reverting back to 9.10 and staying till I get my mice kb combo to work out of box again | 04:24 |
| kelberry | I can't hear any sound, and I have had this issues many times when installing Ubuntu. | 04:24 |
| kelberry | Ever since I got my new computer. | 04:24 |
| kelberry | I believe my audio card isn't supported, but I'm not 100% sure. | 04:24 |
| furythor | Kelberry you got integrated audio chip on mother board and then internal sound card on computer ? | 04:25 |
| chalcedny | kelberry, more soundcards are supported all the time.. check | 04:25 |
| kelberry | Haha, this is the problem, I'm kind of new to Ubuntu, so I don't know all of my resources, and I'm not really into hardware, more software. | 04:25 |
| kelberry | I know the basics, with terminal etc, just not anything too advanced. | 04:26 |
| kelberry | Have any websites that I can check out? :) | 04:26 |
| maco | kelberry: do you have >1 sound card by chance? | 04:26 |
| kelberry | I believe I do have more than one, but how exactly do I check? | 04:26 |
| maco | kelberry: http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh can generate some diagnostic info and post it to a pastebin for you to share with debuggers | 04:26 |
| kelberry | Okay, thank you maco! | 04:27 |
| maco | kelberry: part of that script's output is a list of your sound cards | 04:27 |
| furythor | kelberry: type "sudo lshw " and use bastebin to show what that prints out | 04:27 |
| unclemantis | I need to run "sudo apt-get install libtool" | 04:27 |

| kelberry | Oh, okay. | 04:41 |
| kelberry | So what are your suggestions? :) | 04:41 |
| thune3 | kelberry: how are you plugged in to sound? external speakers? headhpones? | 04:43 |
| kelberry | Headphones at the moment. | 04:43 |
| thune3 | kelberry: it's hard to tell if the headphone socket is connected to the interal audio or the soundcard. Can you connect around back to the headphone socket that is near the main socket bay (not the pci card) | 04:44 |
| mataks_ | help please how to add different workspace? i accidentally deleted mine | 04:45 |

| forge_ | hi so what is the difference between free disk space and available disk space | 04:45 |
| kelberry | Would it be easier if I just unplug the headphones? | 04:45 |

| forge_ | does anyone know what cause this | 04:46 |
| kelberry | Well, let me try plugging them into the back. | 04:47 |
| thune3 | kelberry: sure, but make sure speakers are connected to the main bay (internal sound) and not the soundcard | 04:47 |
| chalcedny | [Screamo], did it say where in bios to look? I don't see it (sorry should have told you i'm visually impaired) | 04:48 |
| SeanInSeattle | Hey all. I've found that my local postgre sql server isn't starting automatically... any ideas how to get it to start automatically? | 04:49 |
| [Screamo] | chalcedny, not sure, just look around | 04:50 |
| kelberry | I think I can only plug into the sound card, I can't seem to find another audio plug in, other than the front of my computer. | 04:50 |
| [Screamo] | chalcedny, do you have a Livecd you could boot into? | 04:51 |
| chalcedny | not for 9.04 but for 10.04 i do | 04:51 |
| [Screamo] | i would try that | 04:51 |
| [Screamo] | i dont see the bios disabling something by itself | 04:52 |
| [Screamo] | so boot into the livecd, and if it still doesn't work, i think its safe to say that your NIC is fried | 04:52 |

| fodder70 | hi all. i have gkrellm installed and wanted the eth0 to popup gkrellm on usage i tried the command mplayer /home/username/Downloads/beep.wav && wmctrl -a "gkrellm" however it didnt seem to work correctly so i made a .sh for it to run, any suggestions on improving this please. | 04:54 |
| r000t | hey xchat's "beep in private message" does NOT ork | 04:55 |
| r000t | no sound is made | 04:55 |
| r000t | Ubuntu can generate other system sounds (critical stop, dialog error, dialog question) and other sources cna play audio (Flash, mplayer, rythembox) | 04:55 |
| r000t | but xchat fails to beep | 04:56 |
| r000t | Is this supposed to be a motherboard beep? | 04:56 |
| chalcedny | [Screamo], what i don't have is a CD/DVD drive. not on this box. I might have another nic card, i can't believe it fried just by overloading it with stuff being open? | 04:56 |
| [Screamo] | chalcedny, you might try putting the other card in there | 04:56 |
| [Screamo] | r000t, if im not mistaken, xchat trys to use sounds in /.xchat2/sounds | 04:58 |
| r000t | yeah just realized that | 04:58 |
| chalcedny | [Screamo], i have a pile of them, how do i tell which ones aren 't antiques? | 04:58 |
| [Screamo] | by default that folder doesnt exist | 04:58 |
| r000t | imma replace them with Vent sounds now instead of Scout sounds | 04:58 |

| forge_ | does anyone know why there would be a huge difference between free space and available free space when you use df I have about 20 Gb just not available to be used | 05:00 |
| lucas-arg | canonical should think about it then... i hope they do | 05:00 |
| nikon | can someone tell me the proper way to install ubuntulooks engine? | 05:00 |

| lucas-arg | if i do update-manager -d and upgrade everything, is upgrade going to be the lastest ubuntu? im asking this since i dont want to loose all configurations and software installed and start all over again... is it possible? is it ok to do this? | 05:14 |
| zetheroo | tucemiux: whats with "yup yup"? :P | 05:14 |
| maco | lucas-arg: -d means it takes you to the deveopment version | 05:14 |
| maco | lucas-arg: itll take you to 10.10 alpha 2 | 05:14 |
| lucas-arg | maco: but when final release is out, if i do that that will take me to lastest ubutnu, am i right? | 05:15 |
| Jordan_U | lucas-arg: If you want a rolling distro like Ubuntu try Debian unstable or testing. | 05:15 |
| tucemiux | zetheroo, sorry but i dont use 'oi mate' | 05:15 |
| maco | lucas-arg: no it ALWAYS means development version if you use -d | 05:15 |
| zetheroo | tucemiux: hehe | 05:16 |
| piyushmishra | anyone knws how to change the workgroup in a network? | 05:16 |
| maco | lucas-arg: if you just want a stable release, thatll show in the top part of update-manager normally | 05:16 |
| zetheroo | piyushmishra: smb.conf | 05:16 |
| lucas-arg | so i have to re-download the cd every 6 months and start all over again? | 05:16 |
| maco | lucas-arg: if youre on a LTS release itll only show the next LTS by default. you change that in system -> administration -> software sources | 05:16 |
| maco | lucas-arg: no | 05:16 |
| Jordan_U | maco: Well, sometimes it means an LTS that hasn't hit .1 yet. | 05:16 |
| tucemiux | piyushmishra, right clich computer --> properties | 05:16 |
| piyushmishra | zetheroo: where is that file? | 05:16 |
| maco | Jordan_U: by "sometimes" you mean "only with lucid" right? because hardy didnt make you wait til .1 | 05:17 |
| zetheroo | /etc/samba/smb.conf | 05:17 |
| maco | lucas-arg: no | 05:17 |
| lucas-arg | maco: so if i set it to normal releases and wait until 10.10 is out, i can upgrade to that version with synaptic? | 05:17 |
| Jordan_U | maco: Yes, and likely future versions. | 05:17 |
| zetheroo | piyushmishra: ^^ | 05:17 |
| maco | lucas-arg: yes | 05:17 |
| piyushmishra | zetheroo.tucemix: ty lemme try | 05:17 |
| lucas-arg | maco: so its "kinda" rolling release... i mean... i can have lastest version anyways and not loose all what ive done... | 05:17 |
| maco | Jordan_U: hmmm now i wonder whether hardy's update manager on kubuntu will stupidly suggest 10.10 when kubuntu 8.04 wasnt lts and so kubuntu 8.04 -> 10.04 upgrades arent supported | 05:18 |
| maco | lucas-arg: it's not rolling, no. the closest you get to rolling is constantly running the devel version | 05:18 |
| maco | lucas-arg: its just that it allows upgrade-over-the-internet | 05:18 |
| Jordan_U | lucas-arg: That's not what makes a distro a rolling release distro. A rolling distro doesn't have releases at all. | 05:18 |
| maco | lucas-arg: the release names in /etc/apt/sources.list will still be updated for example | 05:18 |
| zetheroo | piyushmishra: btw, samba networking sucks in Ubuntu ... so you may want to try getting your shares working across the network some other way | 05:19 |
| maco | Jordan_U: i dont actually remember that .1 thing being decided at UDS either. i wonder what session i was in at the time... | 05:19 |
| lucas-arg | Jordan_U: maco, i know the point u are refering, but... what im trying to know is if i just upgrade whenever 10.10 is out, from synaptic... im going to have lastest release (if i configure to do so) so i dont have to download the cd again and re-install all packages ive downloaded already... | 05:20 |
| zetheroo | anyone experienced with dvd::rip? | 05:20 |
| maco | lucas-arg: yes you will | 05:20 |
| maco | lucas-arg: its called an online upgrade | 05:20 |
| piyushmishra | zetheroo: can you tell me how? | 05:20 |
| maco | lucas-arg: or a dist-upgrade | 05:20 |
| IdleOne | lucas-arg: when 10.10 is released you can upgrade and yes you will have the latest 10.10 release at that time | 05:20 |
| zetheroo | piyushmishra: have you tried Samba first? | 05:21 |
| lucas-arg | maco: great... thanks, i was thinking on moving to rolling release distro, but i see now how it works... | 05:21 |
| piyushmishra | zetheroo: yes I can share files and access other ppl's files also | 05:22 |
| zetheroo | piyushmishra: ok cool ... it's working for you then ;) | 05:22 |
| piyushmishra | zetheroo: just needed to change my workgroup n ty u helped me do that | 05:22 |

| jarrett | sebsebseb: ohh got yah well it loads fine but just the general surfing is slow but updates are as fast as always | 05:55 |
| sebsebseb | glick: This one | 05:55 |
| sebsebseb | jarrett: Firefox :) and the speed will be improved in Firefox 4. Anyway the best browser for Desktop Linux and that is also rather fast, for me is Konqueror :) and thats one of my browsers of choice after Firefox, and the one I would normally use I guess | 05:56 |
| sebsebseb | jarrett: KDE app though, so will want to put on quite a lot of KDE apps on if you haven't installed a KDE app before, but not a problem, as long as your partition insn't really stupidly sized, and Desktop Linux is designed to have many apps installed without problems, unlike Windows. | 05:57 |
| sebsebseb | jarrett: Epiphany is also nice the Gnome default browser, and the previous default Gnome browser Galeon is quite nice as well. | 05:57 |
| Lekter | hi | 05:57 |
| jarrett | subsebseb: well im running ubuntu 10.4 now with the default firefox and i've never had a problem before with it but after the update to version 10 for some reason now firefox is running slow. And this is the only partion on the HD i wiped out windows :) | 05:59 |

| rinku_kokiri | throttling? | 06:06 |
| rinku_kokiri | my amd has that | 06:06 |
| hey | also | 06:06 |
| hey | if your not using power | 06:06 |
| rinku_kokiri | has to do with energy star awy something like that | 06:06 |
| Sereph | rinku_kokiri: well this applet for awt window manager lets me change it from 900, to the stock 1.8 | 06:06 |

| sebsebseb | hey: oh | 06:08 |
| hey | lol | 06:08 |
| sebsebseb | hey: can get a lot of Windows games working in Wine, plus there are good native Linux games | 06:08 |
| rinku_kokiri | sebsebseb: i has codebian lolz | 06:08 |
| sebsebseb | rinku_kokiri: What? | 06:08 |
| Sereph | maybe I need a cpu that I can go from 200mhz up to 3.0ghz :) | 06:08 |

| sebsebseb | rinku_kokiri: coLinux? | 06:08 |
| rinku_kokiri | colinux + debian | 06:08 |

| rinku_kokiri | and sebsebseb get Sims Workin and i'll fully switch :D :D | 06:09 |
| jarrett | sebsebseb: thanks Konqueror did the trick don't know why firefox was being slow but Konqueror isn't! | 06:09 |
| sebsebseb | hey: ok and you do web browsing and such in your Linux vm? | 06:09 |
| hey | and wine is still virtualization and it eats a TON of power. I have a rough time with it | 06:09 |
| sebsebseb | jarrett: indeed its rather fast isn't it? | 06:09 |
| hey | yes | 06:09 |
| hey | llol | 06:09 |
| hey | my windows is only for games | 06:09 |
| R3cur51v3 | The bottom half of my screen will sometimes randomly have black horizontal lines flash over it. Is this likely due to a buggy video card driver? It's an integrated Intel card. I need to know whether I should contact the manufacturer on warranty or if it's a software issue. | 06:09 |
| Sereph | hey: mine is for that and syncing my ipod | 06:09 |
| sebsebseb | hey: ok good, so helping with Linux market share when you can :) well browser market share and such at least | 06:09 |
| R3cur51v3 | The lines last for a fraction of a second, and the issue has only appeared in the last month or so. | 06:10 |
| sebsebseb | rinku_kokiri: you can do the latest Sims in Wine | 06:10 |
| hey | haha yea | 06:10 |
| ulziibuyan | does system bios init graphics card? | 06:10 |
| hey | it is tough to get someone to try ubuntu | 06:10 |
| sebsebseb | hey: so you mainly play Windows games on the computer? hence no dual boot? | 06:10 |
| R3cur51v3 | It really doesn't impair usability, but I fear it's a sign of a degrading monitor that will eventually become worthless. | 06:10 |
| hey | they are so windows set never will busge | 06:10 |
| hey | when I play my linux games I boot nativly off my virtual hard drive | 06:11 |
| hey | I use WUBI | 06:11 |
| sebsebseb | hey: they are all so what? locked into Windows? well yes. Oh by the way there are loads of other great Linux distros out there as well :) not even this site has them all. http://www.distrowatch.com | 06:11 |
| sebsebseb | hey: oh wubi | 06:11 |

| forge_ | hey does anyone know why df will show disk spaced used and then the disk space available does not correspond to how much should be left | 06:12 |
| hey | I am accually compiling a tech CD | 06:12 |
| sebsebseb | hey: ok for short term Ubuntu useage, when it works, not so great for long term useage. Proper partitioned install is better :) I thought you were actsaully running a vm of Ubuntu inside WIndows. | 06:12 |
| sebsebseb | hey: compiling a tech CD? | 06:12 |

| hey | so far I have 7 installed and working AV that scan windows partitions running in linux | 06:13 |
| === gallifrey is now known as alco-ninja | ||
| jarrett_ | sebsebseb: Alot faster than firefox was. Wonder if you know this one. Ok I updaded another comp. that was running 9.10 to version 10 It was using a usb wireless internet adapter and now version 10 won't even acknowledge the device and only way to get on the net is to be hard wired. so what happened? | 06:13 |
| hey | I have been playing with remastersys | 06:13 |
| hey | and making my own boot cd | 06:13 |
| hey | onlything is I had a hard enough time using debian bulds and such getting everything installed I do not want to try with diffrent distro | 06:14 |
| hey | when the software app is not good enough it is a head ache doing everything manually | 06:15 |
| sebsebseb | jarrett_: indeed Konqueror is faster than FIrefox, its also a file manager, used to be the default for KDE before Dolphin. Also surely you have heard of Google Chrome maybe even chromium which you can get from the repo if you really want. Anyway they use Webkit, which is the rendering engine Apple's Safari uses as well, and its a fork of the KHTML one that Konqueror uses to display webpages. Chrome/Chromeium :( ,but better than Internet | 06:15 |
| sebsebseb | Explorer. Firefox and Konqueror and such :) | 06:15 |
| sebsebseb | jarrett_: I wonder why Apple didn't just improve KHTML instead of making their own version of it. Also sometimes hardware that worked in a previous version no longer does in a later. | 06:16 |
| hey | Lubuntu login screen is pretty sweet give them that | 06:16 |
| deadparakeets | :) | 06:16 |
| sebsebseb | hey: indeed it is | 06:16 |
| sebsebseb | hey: KDM is quite nice as well the KDE one | 06:16 |
| deadparakeets | this must be the antisocial chatroom | 06:16 |

| deadparakeets | i just installed it | 06:18 |
| deadparakeets | im still having issues with flash files | 06:18 |
| chalcedny | lol jarrett_ | 06:18 |
| sebsebseb | jarrett_: well I guess its a mess around trying to get it working natively, try ndiswrapper with the Windows driver, downgrade back to 9.10 which is fine, since its still supported and untill the end of April next year. Or another option is do some other LInux distro. | 06:18 |
| jarrett_ | chalcedny: lol | 06:19 |
| chalcedny | what do i need to do to enable internet with a secodnary card? the primary seems to have died. | 06:19 |

| deadparakeets | still works | 06:20 |
| sebsebseb | chalcedny: ethernet should just work | 06:20 |
| chalcedny | sebsebseb, that's what i thought. it's not though | 06:20 |
| sebsebseb | chalcedny: and so should a LAN with a router, as long as stuff is set up properly | 06:20 |
| jarrett_ | sebsebseb: i believe i'll just downgrade it as much as i hate to i kinda like the new version myself and all she know is ubuntu and windows and the more i have to use windows the more i hate it viruses every week and you can never find drivers. | 06:21 |
| chalcedny | sebsebseb, my computer locked up, i thought it was just some bug making a lot of screenshots, but rebooted and there is no lan card showing. so i added a spare i had here... and still not connecting | 06:21 |
| sebsebseb | jarrett_: 10.04 offers little proper advantage if any really. the boot up doesn't always work properly, not that many people using the cloud or music store I guess, and the themes aren't that great by default either | 06:22 |
| sebsebseb | jarrett_: so going to download a new 9.10 ISO or still got a CD? | 06:22 |
| chalcedny | http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=A780GXH/128M sebsebseb it's this mb | 06:23 |
| sebsebseb | chalcedny: networking isn't really my area, and this channel is not that active at the moment, so could be worth trying ##linux maybe even ##networking | 06:23 |
| jarrett_ | sebsebseb: i still got a cd well like 3 but yah i like having extras I try to convert ppl to the linux world haha | 06:24 |

| sebsebseb | jarrett_: oh your using WUbi? | 06:47 |
| sebsebseb | jarrett_: Wubi ok for short term Ubuntu trying, proper partitioned install much better in the long run :) | 06:48 |

| higor | Hello! | 06:49 |
| higor | I have three operating systems, Ubuntu 9.10 and Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows XP, as I do to uninstall ubuntu 09:10? | 06:49 |
| sebsebseb | higor: delete its partition | 06:49 |
| sebsebseb | higor: and hopefuly Grub 2 will update itself without a problem or you got to update it yourself after | 06:49 |
| sebsebseb | !grub2 | higor | 06:49 |
| ubottu | higor: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 06:49 |
| jarrett_ | sebsebseb: not using wubi on this desktop this one is straight ubuntu. its on my laptop i keep a wubi dual boot setup on it because windows is prone to viruses and more that once i've used the ubuntu dual boot setup to retreive my windows data. but yah i was just wondering if the generic tag was just for the wubi installs | 06:51 |
| teknon | hello all | 06:51 |
| sebsebseb | jarrett_: well you can't just use the Ubuntu Live CD to gain data that is on a Wubi install | 06:51 |
| sebsebseb | jarrett_: to gain access to, above | 06:51 |
| nesbitt | Jordan_U: thanks for you help! everything appears to be working perfectly now :-) | 06:52 |
| jarrett_ | sebsebseb well yah i could i guess i 4got about the live cd duh haha | 06:52 |

| wookienz | hi, i have a SW raid built in bios. THe bios reports that the raid is healthy and functional. WHen i loaded ubuntu up it sees the drives but thinks that the raid is bad. One of the drives uses a GPT partitioning scheme while the other is not - not sure why that is - the other non-gpt drive seems to have no valid partition table. Is this normal for a raid 0 set? Can i use fdisk or equiv to... | 06:53 |
| wookienz | ...re write the partition table? | 06:53 |
| Jordan_U | wookienz: Why are you using Fake RAID rather than pure software RAID? | 06:54 |
| jarrett_ | sebsebseb: yah seems like my live cd will work on one machine but not the next weird but yah | 06:54 |

| ashiswin | thanks IdleOne | 07:02 |
| kelberry | Have any suggestions on which ones I should buy? | 07:02 |
| kelberry | one* | 07:02 |
| Mithos | kelberry: well before i go right to that... | 07:02 |
| Mithos | kelberry: what's the nature of your current issue? | 07:03 |
| * Mithos hates looking at scrollbacks | 07:03 | |
| wookienz | Jordan_U: ok thanks for that. Any ideas on how i would get this raid 0 back? i have tried dmraid , mdadm, parted, gparted and have yet to find something that will being it back to life. | 07:03 |
| kelberry | Well, I currently had someone check out my issue, and they've been experimenting via VNC, and it seems the having two sound cards is an issue and it is loading them in an odd order, I'm not exactly sure on the specifics. | 07:04 |
| === SpinUp is now known as DanDare | ||
| Jordan_U | wookienz: So your BIOS still thinks that the array is fine? | 07:04 |
| Mithos | kelberry: what do you mean by two sound cards... | 07:04 |
| [Screamo] | kelberry, try disabling the onboard in bios | 07:04 |
| Mithos | kelberry: typically systems come with only one... oh | 07:04 |
| Mithos | kelberry: yeah try disabling onboard sound card in bios | 07:04 |
| [Screamo] | that is if you do have 2 sound cards | 07:05 |
| kelberry | Is there any tutorial on how to do so? I don't want to mess around with bios too much. | 07:05 |
| Mithos | kelberry: depends on the BIOS, unfortunately. each has a different configuration of where stuff shows up | 07:05 |
| kelberry | Ah, okay, are there any key things I should look for? Or will it be very obvious? :) | 07:06 |
| [Screamo] | kelberry, if you could, take a picture of the back of your computer and upload it | 07:06 |

| rafael | When I boot up, my system immediately goes into low graphics mode and i think that if i fix this i'll fix the booting problem as well | 07:07 |
| [Screamo] | err | 07:07 |
| [Screamo] | kelberry, pastebin the output of lspci | 07:07 |
| Mithos | [Screamo]: yeah thats a good point... could it just be seeing ALSA and some other software as well and not necessarily hardware sound cards? | 07:07 |

| AdamB | I'm trying to get Portable Ubuntu however I can only find Portable Ubuntu Remix. I have downloaded Portable Ubuntu Remix TRES and cannot run. It locks up windows. | 07:44 |
| AdamB | any ideas? | 07:45 |
| bl4de | ciao a tutti! | 07:45 |
| newboon2age | demism: by default (at least on Ubuntu) you create your own xorg.conf since there isn't one by default. | 07:45 |
| l_o | i also dont konw acutatly...but it connect 24 hr online on irc network | 07:45 |

| abhi_nav | is there any constraint of file type to set spalsh screen of grub2 and login screen? | 07:48 |
| newboon2age | AdamB: which config directory? Did it ever boot up correctly or was it in trouble from the first time? It was slow the first time it booted for me, then fine. | 07:48 |
| l_o | i'm shocked to know that nobody knows about bnc here | 07:49 |
| AdamB | newboon2age: when you say reinstall. what do you mean? just extract the files again? | 07:49 |

| abhi_nav | l_o, try #linux | 07:53 |
| l_o | maxwellian: i need free bnc account to connect my irc | 07:54 |
| sweetpi | i missed the question, but a bnc is an irc bouncer | 07:54 |

| abhi_nav | anyone success to change grub2 splash screen? | 07:55 |
| maxwellian | l_o: Just search Google for "free bnc account" | 07:56 |
| l_o | i'm tired of that | 07:56 |
| Sereph | l_o: you are expecting something for free. | 07:57 |
| AdamB | newboon2age: yes still her just extracting | 07:57 |
| maxwellian | l_o: Again, what was your question? I came on after you asked. | 07:57 |
| Sereph | maxwellian: he asked a couple times after you asked | 07:57 |
| l_o | Sereph: there are many poeple i met using free bnc | 07:57 |
| Firstgear_ | amazing. really amazing | 07:57 |
| Sereph | l_o: ask them where they got it | 07:58 |
| newboon2age | abhi_nav: do you mean the screen you get when you have 'quiet splash'? If so that's Plymouth, and yes i did change it before, but i'm not sure if i can remember how... | 07:58 |
| AdamB | newboon2age: and never past the splash screen. Windows just rebooted. | 07:58 |

| newboon2age | abhi_nav: i'm confused, you want to change the menu so it comes up with different options? or is it a screen before the menu? Cuz what comes after is Plymouth. | 08:02 |

| newboon2age | abhi_nav: on that page it seems to indicate tga could possibly work also. | 08:20 |

| abhi_nav | nomorenick, what was your nick yesterday? | 08:21 |
| nomorenick | student | 08:21 |
| newboon2age | abhi_nav: it also says "Add the ability use JPEG files as splash images. At this time, only 8-bit JPEG images will display correctly." | 08:21 |
| maxwellian | ross_: less is a pager which will show you one screen at a time of a log. | 08:21 |
| ross_ | you mean .log? | 08:21 |
| abhi_nav | nomorenick, I see | 08:21 |
| nomorenick | i remember now you helped me with docky settings | 08:21 |
| nomorenick | i needed to auto hide it | 08:21 |
| nomorenick | :p | 08:21 |
| abhi_nav | newboon2age, hmm | 08:21 |
| nomorenick | docky = fail | 08:21 |

| newboon2age | abhi_nav: and "Note that images need to be in RGB color format to be displayed, rather than indexed." | 08:22 |
| nomorenick | as my netbook can't handle effects too wel | 08:22 |
| abhi_nav | nomorenick, try cairo with -c option | 08:22 |
| nomorenick | well* | 08:22 |
| nomorenick | i will. thanks. | 08:22 |
| abhi_nav | newboon2age, now from where shoudl i produce that rgb format image? | 08:22 |
| newboon2age | abhi_nav: but also that you can "Add a user-owned directory in which GRUB 2 will search for available splash images." | 08:22 |
| ross_ | maxwellian: man I haven't touched windows in a week and I am proud | 08:22 |
| maxwellian | ross_: Also, often you only want to see the most recent additions to the log, like if something just happened. For that it's usually easier to 'sudo tail what.log' | 08:22 |
| newboon2age | abhi_nav: which tells me it doesn't know about the directory by default. | 08:22 |
| abhi_nav | newboon2age, ok. I gave up. leave it. :'( | 08:22 |
| maxwellian | ross_: Cool, glad you're having some success! | 08:23 |
| ross_ | maxwellian: the only thing that i dont' like is there's no itunes | 08:23 |
| nomorenick | abhi_nav i start it in term with cairo-dock -c command? | 08:23 |
| leven | can i run memtest from a live usb-stick with 10.04? | 08:23 |
| ross_ | maxwellian: rhythmbox just doesn't cut it for me | 08:23 |
| newboon2age | abhi_nav: you could use Gimp. I'm pretty sure that produces .png rgb images | 08:23 |
| leven | diddnt find the option | 08:23 |
| jan-pieter | I have just installed ubuntu to a USB stick but now / gets mounted as read-only. And also Gnome of X doesn't want to start if I'm not in recovery mode (I assume this will be solved if the drive gets mounted as read/write). Can anyone help me solve this? | 08:24 |
| abhi_nav | nomorenick, in startup applications you have to add it so it wll start automatically when you start computer. there under command write cairo-dock -c | 08:24 |
| ross_ | how do you exit the sudo bash command? | 08:24 |
| newboon2age | abhi_nav: sometime i'll try it cuz i dislike the black background. | 08:24 |
| maxwellian | ross_: I'm sure you're not alone. :P I avoid iTunes for the same reason I use Ubuntu, I hate not having control over my user experience. | 08:24 |
| maxwellian | ross_: Just type 'exit' | 08:24 |
| abhi_nav | newboon2age, hmm. its so much time consuming. I gave up | 08:25 |
| nomorenick | will it start automatically with -c settings? | 08:25 |
| nomorenick | oh ok | 08:25 |
| nomorenick | thanks | 08:25 |
| leven | can i run memtest from a live usb-stick with 10.04? in that case where do i find it? | 08:25 |
| nomorenick | omg cairo is so pretty!!! | 08:25 |
| ross_ | maxwellian: do you recommend any other softwares similar to itunes that is usable in linux? | 08:25 |
| maxwellian | ross_: Proprietary hardware which only works with proprietary software sucks the big one. | 08:25 |
| newboon2age | abhi_nav: yeah, it could be something as simple as a path being wrong or in a directory that Grub2 doesn't know about. | 08:25 |
| leven | maxwellian: yepp | 08:25 |
| nomorenick | it definately works better than awn and docky cairo is a keeper! | 08:25 |
| abhi_nav | ok | 08:26 |
| leven | has noone ran memtest from a live 10.04? | 08:26 |
| newboon2age | abhi_nav: also see this "The following shows the addition of a user's own splash directory and added JPEG support:" | 08:27 |
| leven | come on now.. they can't have removed it? | 08:27 |
| newboon2age | abhi_nav: for i in {/boot/grub,/usr/share/images/grub,/home/drs/mysplash}/moreblue-orbit-grub.{png,tga,jpg,jpeg} ; do | 08:27 |
| abhi_nav | newboon2age, I know. I am not interested in it now. Leave it. I am not interested. | 08:27 |
| maxwellian | ross_: Well I guess I should have mentioned another reason I don't use iTunes: I don't have enough music to bother with a music manager. :) | 08:27 |
| ross_ | maxwellian: man I have like 60 gbs of music | 08:28 |
| * maxwellian chokes | 08:28 | |
| ross_ | maxwellian: how do you "choke" on here?? | 08:29 |
| maxwellian | ross_: Check out this page: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/itunes | 08:29 |
| Sereph | I have libgtk 1.2 and 1.2-dev installed but this app still cant see it... any idea what i am doing wrong | 08:29 |
| maxwellian | ross_: That's an IRC thing, just '/me does something' | 08:29 |
| maxwellian | Sereph: Where was it installed? | 08:30 |
| maxwellian | Sereph: And where is the app looking? :) | 08:30 |
| * ross_ screams | 08:30 | |
| newboon2age | abhi_nav: ok, just one more point. if you change anything in /etc/grub.d and you MUST run 'sudo update-grub' or nothing will change. | 08:30 |
| ross_ | that is so cool | 08:30 |
| abhi_nav | newboon2age, this is statement or question? :p | 08:31 |
| maxwellian | ross_: Heh. :) | 08:31 |
| * abhi_nav does something | 08:31 | |
| abhi_nav | ?? | 08:31 |
| Sereph | maxwellian: its not installed its a .sh script that is supposed to install it | 08:31 |
| newboon2age | abhi_nav: a statement. I had that problem when i was changing my grub2 options before... i forgot to run that command and nothing changed till i did. | 08:32 |
| ross_ | maxwellian: what's the command for listing the IP address for the computer? | 08:32 |
| maxwellian | Sereph: Usually installing a package installs the software...? | 08:32 |
| abhi_nav | newboon2age, so after doing update-grub only changes will take effect? | 08:32 |
| maxwellian | ross_: That depends, are you using a router? | 08:33 |
| MaRk-I | ross_: ifconfig | 08:33 |
| ross_ | maxwellian: yes | 08:33 |
| abhi_nav | newboon2age, now testing. wait | 08:33 |
| newboon2age | abhi_nav: any time you make a change to /etc/grub.d you MUST run 'sudo update-grub' or no change will take effect. | 08:33 |
| ross_ | maxwellian: so what is it | 08:33 |
| jan-pieter | I installed ubuntu to a usb stick but it gets mounted as read-only. Can anyone help me change it to read/write ? | 08:33 |
| maxwellian | ross_: As far as I know, you can't see your external address from inside the network. | 08:33 |
| Sereph | maxwellian: its a commertial game that runs on linux... it has no package... just a sh script | 08:34 |
| indus | Matt1, hi | 08:34 |
| maxwellian | ross_: ifconfig (thanks MaRk-I) will tell you your local IP address, but if you're using a router, it's usually using NAT to communicate with the Internet. | 08:34 |
| ross_ | maxwellian: ok | 08:34 |
| maxwellian | ross_: So are you looking to find out your IP as the Internet sees you? | 08:35 |
| maxwellian | ross_: Or just the address of your machine locally? | 08:35 |
| ross_ | maxwellian: nevermind i figured it out | 08:35 |
| maxwellian | ross_: What did you do? :) | 08:35 |
| ross_ | maxwellian: that reverse DNS thing is dangerous | 08:35 |
| ross_ | maxwellian: is there a way to block the reverse DNS? | 08:36 |
| maxwellian | ross_: Which reverse DNS? | 08:36 |
| maxwellian | ross_: In what context? | 08:36 |
| newboon2age | jan-pieter: which tool did you use to create the usb pen drive? | 08:36 |
| maxwellian | Sereph: And did you run the install script? | 08:37 |
| oasa | newboon2age : you mean to create start up disk ? | 08:37 |
| Sereph | maxwellian: yes and it gave that error | 08:37 |
| ross_ | maxwellian: i was just reading how people can reverse DNS you and find your ip that's assigned by your ISP, and I read how they can geographically tract people | 08:37 |
| newboon2age | oasa: yes, jan-pieter? | 08:38 |
| ross_ | maxwellian: which is pretty scary | 08:38 |
| llutz | ross_: thats how the internet works, nothing scary at all | 08:38 |
| ross_ | k | 08:39 |
| oasa | newoborn2age : You can use unetboot. Great tool | 08:39 |
| jan-pieter | newboon2age: I just installed it to the usb drive | 08:39 |
| ross_ | i just finished using nmap to check my laptop, and the result said that all my ports are filtered, is that good? | 08:39 |
| llutz | ross_: if you don't like it, consider using services like TOR | 08:39 |
| Dulak | If that scares you, I'd hate to see you after you find out what the NSA is doing. | 08:39 |
| newboon2age | oasa: yes, that one's good. | 08:39 |
| lunavorax | Hello everyone ! | 08:39 |
| oasa | newboon2age: Sorry. I thought its you who needs help. | 08:40 |
| oasa | hi lunavorax | 08:40 |
| lunavorax | :) | 08:40 |
| rafael | Hello how do i disable the nouveau module/driver? | 08:40 |
| newboon2age | jan-pieter: so you didn't use unetbootin or USB Creator, you just did an install? | 08:40 |
| newboon2age | oasa: no prob. :) | 08:40 |
| oasa | y:D | 08:40 |
| maxwellian | Sereph: Can you cd to where the install script is and type 'grep libgtk install.sh', replacing install.sh with the name of the script? | 08:40 |
| jan-pieter | newboon2age: I now saw the it remount the root partition as read-only | 08:40 |
| jan-pieter | I just a normal install | 08:40 |
| lunavorax | I don't know what fs to choose for a hard drive i'll use only for storage | 08:41 |
| ross_ | llutz: thanks man that is so cool i will check it out - are you speaking from experience? have you used tor before? | 08:41 |
| oasa | lunavorax : Which all operating system do you mingle with ? | 08:41 |
| lunavorax | I only use ubuntu 10.04 (64bits) | 08:41 |
| newboon2age | jan-pieter: oh, that's interesting. hmm.... | 08:41 |
| rafael | lunavorax; i think you want fat | 08:42 |
| oasa | lunavorax : If you dont want to use your hard drive with any other os then I would always recommend you to use ext3 or ext4 | 08:42 |
| newboon2age | jan-pieter: i thought i had the answer if you'd used one of the other programs. Tell me did you unplug your HD before you did the install? | 08:42 |
| lunavorax | rafael ? fat ? no way | 08:42 |
| oasa | lunavorax : If you are using Windows OS,Mac FAT32 is recommended. | 08:42 |
| lunavorax | I'm storing big files over 4go | 08:42 |
| lunavorax | Ok | 08:42 |
| lunavorax | so that'll be ext4 | 08:42 |
| oasa | :) Lunavorax | 08:43 |
| oasa | It would be better if you use ext3. | 08:43 |
| nomorenick | aw man i was messing with the settings in cairo but nothing seems to have changed. | 08:43 |
| jan-pieter | newboon2age: I plugged in my usb stick in the laptop and installed it to that usb stick. I kept everything plugged in | 08:43 |
| newboon2age | jan-pieter: i tried to do it that way but i didn't unplug my HD and i ended up having to go a Grub2 reinstall, cuz when i unplugged the USB stick it wouldn't boot right. | 08:43 |
| lunavorax | oasa oh ok that'll be ext3 then | 08:43 |
| lunavorax | oasa: but why ? | 08:44 |
| scar_ | does there exists any alpha/daily built live iso's that I can use instead of installing xorg-edgers on my current system? | 08:44 |
| nomorenick | ahbi_nav, do you know how to make cairo transparent? not the dock, but the icon background, at the moment it's black and annoying when i go over an icon | 08:44 |
| newboon2age | jan-pieter: at the time it freaked me out because i hadn't dealt with Grub2 before, but it turned out to be not too big of a deal. | 08:44 |
| oasa | Lunavorax : performance wise, ext4 have proved much superior. But compatibility wise. | 08:44 |
| llutz | ross_: i use tor sometimes and i'm supporting tor with operating a tor middle-node, sharing some bandwidth to the network | 08:44 |
| GHH | which is good software to play DVD and CD movie and support any video formate please? | 08:44 |
| scar_ | sorry ^ that was phrased badly | 08:44 |
| === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach | ||
| nomorenick | i would also like to know how to autohide the dock. | 08:44 |
| lunavorax | ok i understand oasa | 08:44 |
| oasa | GHH : Totem is good otherwise you can use VLC | 08:44 |
| lunavorax | So ext3, ok | 08:45 |
| nomorenick | anyone else is also welcome to help me :/ | 08:45 |
| rautamiekka | All in all, is there any difference between using the dual quotes <"> and single quotes <'>, in commands ? During my Python scripting yesterday night I issued same del and mkdir commands with folder and file names and they both acted identically by what I see. | 08:45 |
| lunavorax | Thank you all very much ! ;) | 08:45 |
| newboon2age | jan-pieter: hey, its not a simple thing like do you have a switch on the USB pen drive that allows you to make it read only? | 08:45 |
| jan-pieter | newboon2age: It boot's fine in recovery-mode and grub does everything it should do. (BTW I installed grub to my USB so the bootloader of my HD is still fine) | 08:45 |
| lunavorax | See you | 08:45 |
| oasa | nomorenick : Whats your problem ? | 08:45 |
| Dulak | GHH: vlc or gmplayer | 08:45 |
| oasa | see you lunavorax | 08:45 |
| jan-pieter | newboon2age: There is now switch | 08:45 |
| DexterLB | hrllo | 08:45 |
| DexterLB | hello* | 08:45 |
| nomorenick | no one? oh well :/ | 08:45 |
| newboon2age | jan-pieter: no switch. That'd be too easy i suppose. :) | 08:45 |
| oasa | Hello DexterLB | 08:46 |
| maxwellian | rautamiekka: Do you mean what's the difference to Python? | 08:46 |
| oasa | nomorenick : Whats your problem ? | 08:46 |
| GHH | vlc not support many type of formate such as dat file | 08:46 |
| maxwellian | rautamiekka: Or to the shell? | 08:46 |
| DexterLB | I'm currently using lucid on this PC. | 08:46 |
| DexterLB | I also have a server | 08:46 |
| oasa | Thats nice DexterLB :D | 08:46 |
| DexterLB | but I'm forced to have windoze there | 08:46 |
| rautamiekka | maxwell: To the shell. I came to this question as side-testing. | 08:46 |
| DexterLB | so I have a coLinux VM on the server | 08:47 |
| jan-pieter | newboon2age: I just checked the disk with disk-utility on my desktop and it says the disk is fine | 08:47 |
| DexterLB | and I run all my server stuff - apache, pptp, znc etc on the VM | 08:47 |
| oasa | okay | 08:47 |
| DexterLB | but it's jaunty and I need an upgrade | 08:47 |
| GHH | oasa, is it support any type of video formate? | 08:47 |
| newboon2age | jan-pieter: maybe is it a problem with permissions? | 08:47 |
| oasa | GHH : yes. Almost all. :D | 08:47 |
| nomorenick | my problem is that i want to autohide cairo-dock but i dont know how to | 08:48 |
| nomorenick | also i would like to make the icon background transparent, not the dock. | 08:48 |
| nomorenick | i want to keep the dock how it is, but whenever i go over an icon the icon background turns black | 08:48 |
| DexterLB | so, do you think coLinux is the best solution or there is a better virtualization software? | 08:48 |
| GHH | oasa, then fine | 08:48 |
| jan-pieter | newboon2age: If I boot in recovery-mode there is a message like: Error something. Remounting as read-only. | 08:48 |
| GHH | oasa, what you think about gmplayer? | 08:48 |
| Dulak | GHH: no video player plays every format, I use mplayer and vlc and use whichever works | 08:48 |
| maxwellian | rautamiekka: I suppose it could be different from shell to shell, but the default Ubuntu shell is bash. | 08:49 |
| rautamiekka | DexterLB: I was recommended to use Xen if I ever were to try VMing. | 08:49 |
| deusr | hi | 08:49 |
| rautamiekka | !hi | deusr | 08:49 |
| ubottu | deusr: 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! | 08:50 |
| bastidrazor | nomorenick: you may need to run cairo-dock with -c option... that means no OpenGL .. i have to do that with mine. quit cairo-dock then in a terminal type: cairo-dock -c & disown .. also hiding it is easy to do. | 08:50 |
| oasa | Dexterlb : I think CoLinux is really good. And yeah Xen is also good. | 08:50 |
| deusr | someone help me? http://pastebin.com/3YpiwsiB | 08:50 |
| GHH | Dulak, some time vlc give me error. But no problem to play mpeg file | 08:50 |
| newboon2age | jan-pieter: you lost me. why reboot in recovery mode? | 08:50 |
| maxwellian | rautamiekka: And to Bash, double quotes interpolate variables, single quotes don't. | 08:50 |
| deusr | I am not able to load the update | 08:50 |
| Dulak | GHH: yeah welcome to the world of 10,000 video codecs | 08:50 |
| maxwellian | Dulak: Heh. :) | 08:51 |
| deusr | rautamiekka: help me? | 08:51 |
| rautamiekka | deusr: What's the content of "/etc/apt/sources.list" ? Also have you tried other Repository Server ? | 08:51 |
| deusr | rautamiekka: http://pastebin.com/3YpiwsiB | 08:51 |
| deusr | one monnent | 08:51 |
| GHH | Dulak, video codecs? | 08:51 |
| ross_ | how do you configure the log in screen? I currently have my login screen configured for KDE, but i want to change it | 08:52 |
| ross_ | it's a KDE login screen, and I want to change it back to gnome | 08:52 |
| jan-pieter | newboon2age: because I get a black screen when gnome (or X, I'm not sure) starts in normal mode | 08:52 |
| maxwellian | ross_: You're running Ubuntu, but you wanted to try the KDE login screen, so you installed it? | 08:52 |

| rautamiekka | maxwellian: Interpolate, as in mark the starting and ending points for variables ? | 08:53 |
| deusr | rautamiekka: http://pastebin.com/pbqyp25e | 08:53 |
| newboon2age | jan-pieter: and did this only start after the install to usb pen drive? | 08:53 |
| [diablo] | good morning all... heres a question for you... I would like to have one of my virtual servers have installed with *all* the documentation to all packages (the /usr/share/doc/) , so I have a central reference point... anyone know how this can be done please? | 08:53 |
| Dulak | GHH: video formats are encoded/decoded from thier format using a codec, like a driver for video formats. There are thousands of them and there are issues because so many are not open and free | 08:53 |
| MaRk-I | deusr: change to different repo servers | 08:53 |
| jan-pieter | newboon2age: And If I go in recovery-mode and login from the shell, and then use "startx" then X fails because It can't write to the disk. (It booted perfectly from the live cd) | 08:53 |
| rautamiekka | deusr: The list is correct, so it is more likely the Repo Server. | 08:53 |
| ross_ | maxwellian: i installed the KDE desktop environment along with xefe to check out the user ability and the feel of them | 08:54 |
| maxwellian | rautamiekka: Interpolate, as in replace the variable name with the variable value. | 08:54 |
| rautamiekka | maxwellian: Ah, gotcha. | 08:54 |
| ross_ | maxwellian: but now when the computer boots up | 08:54 |
| GHH | Dulak, you mean , i need to install video codecs? | 08:54 |
| ross_ | maxwellian: the login environment is KDE, but i want to change it back to gnome login env. - the way it used to be , how do i do it? | 08:54 |
| Dulak | GHH: windows covers it all up so you don't know just how crazy complicated video is. Linux is getting there but still issues | 08:54 |
| oasa | Dulak. Yes | 08:54 |
| oasa | sorry GHH YES | 08:55 |
| madrid | i need the parameters of console for to have a solution. | 08:55 |
| deusr | MaRk-I: rautamiekka, how do I change the repository? | 08:55 |
| Dulak | GHH: yup There is a big package of codecs you can d/l from the medibuntu repo. but they are mainly for mplayer | 08:56 |
| rautamiekka | deusr: Just replace the "br." with like "fi." or simply leave it out totally and it uses the Master Repo Server. | 08:56 |
| GHH | oasa, what is the package name to install (apt-get)? | 08:56 |
| MaRk-I | deusr: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu | 08:56 |
| newboon2age | jan-pieter: and did this only start after the install to usb pen drive? | 08:56 |
| deusr | ok!! | 08:56 |
| bastidrazor | GHH: ubuntu-restricted-extras normally pulls all codecs needed | 08:56 |
| elnur | Have anyone solved the problem with too low sound? | 08:56 |
| maxwellian | ross_: Try running 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm' | 08:57 |
| jan-pieter | newboon2age: What do you mean? | 08:57 |
| bastidrazor | deusr: System > Administration > Software Sources .. then change the server or let it pick the fastest for you. | 08:58 |
| ross_ | doesn't work lol | 08:58 |
| newboon2age | jan-pieter: on this computer was it ever booting Ubuntu from the HD? | 08:58 |
| ross_ | it still gives me the KDE login screen | 08:58 |
| deusr | bastidrazor: ;) thanks!! | 08:58 |

| MaRk-I | madrid: try adding the key: gpg --export --armor F45E32D195B47D2A | sudo apt-key add - | 09:01 |
| newboon2age | jan-pieter: I'm thinking that if it was never booting Ubuntu from the HD -- you had only tried the LiveCD and then did the install to the pen drive that you might be running into a Grub2 problem that would require running the grub-reinstall command (its something like that). Either that or maybe the live CD has a video driver installed that didn't get installed during the install to the pen drive. | 09:02 |
| kraut | moin | 09:02 |
| * GHH thanks oasa and Dulak | 09:02 | |
| ross_ | oasa: it's giving me this window | 09:02 |
| robertzaccour | maybe reinstalling Ubuntu will be faster | 09:02 |
| ross_ | oasa: but i can't unlock it... | 09:02 |
| oasa | Welcome GHH | 09:02 |
| oasa | ross_ Press unlock and give the password | 09:02 |
| ross_ | i won't let me unlock it | 09:03 |
| ross_ | i clicked it | 09:03 |
| oasa | What error is it giving ? ross_ ? | 09:03 |
| madrid | mark can i copy all the parameters without changing anything? | 09:03 |
| ross_ | ...? | 09:03 |
| newboon2age | jan-pieter: so the read-only phenomenon sounds like that is just a side-effect of booting to recovery mode. In a way then that is not the real issue. One thing you can do to alter things on the pen drive though is to boot off the liveCD and then edit whatever, and then try rebooting from the pen drive. repeat until fixed. | 09:03 |
| ross_ | no error, i just won't let me do it | 09:03 |
| GHH | oasa, Can give me some idea about sendmail? | 09:04 |
| MaRk-I | madrid: yes just remember there's a dash at the end of the line | 09:04 |
| Dulak | robertzaccour: go to the top panel, right click, choose "new panel" and then drag the new panel to the bottom | 09:04 |

| opij | what's the difference between the official Fluxbuntu release and just installing fluxwm on ubuntu? | 09:04 |

| ubottu | To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 09:04 |
| jan-pieter | newboon2age: Well If I'm in recovery-mode as root I can start gnome with startx But If I'm not root then gnome hangs | 09:04 |
| GHH | oasa, I need to configure it only for outgoing(i mean to say that just i want to send mail) | 09:04 |

| vlt | *sound | 09:05 |
| ross_ | damn it what's wrong with this thing? | 09:05 |
| newboon2age | jan-pieter: but as you say, when booting in recovery mode you're always stuck in read-only mode, correct? | 09:05 |
| oasa | GHH : Where do you face problem ? | 09:05 |
| oasa | ross_ did you try CUI method ? | 09:05 |
| ross_ | how? | 09:05 |
| erry | vlt, im pinging -laptop and -desktop answers | 09:05 |
| madrid | a dash | 09:05 |

| oasa | ross_ try running gdmsetup by sudo rights | 09:07 |
| MaRk-I | maxwellian: ok | 09:07 |
| jan-pieter | newboon2age: That's what I thought. Apparently not because I can edit files :s sorry for that. But I just discovered that gnome sometimes hangs as root as well | 09:07 |
| oasa | ross_ in terminal type gksudo gdmsetup | 09:07 |
| newboon2age | jan-pieter: so i would try 1) figuring out whether its a video drivers problem or a Grub2 problem, 2) boot w/ LiveCD and edit whichever configuration file is appropriate, and 3) reboot w/ pen drive 4) repeat till fixed. | 09:07 |
| leven | can i run memtest from a live usb-stick with 10.04? in that case where do i find it? | 09:08 |

| oasa | GHH I think since ISP have blocked, I think you need more professional assistance go to #sendmail | 09:08 |
| ross_ | ok | 09:08 |
| newboon2age | jan-pieter: unfortunately i have to head off to sleep now, but i hope that will get you started and maybe someone else here can help you too. :) | 09:08 |

| erry | vlt, what do you mean? | 09:11 |
| vlt | erry: You said there was a problem when pinging, but it isn't. So what did you do, what did you expect and what did you get? | 09:11 |
| Dulak | WXZ: pwd should show the current working directory not sure what filename you are looking for | 09:11 |
| jan-pieter | newboon2age: I've been using ubuntu for a year now and it's great most of the time :p | 09:11 |
| erry | vlt, im pinging errietta-laptop and i expect an answer from errietta-laptop not errietta-desktop | 09:11 |

| erry | i cant ssh to it cause it goes back to errietta-desktop | 09:11 |
| erry | i have to get its ip each time | 09:11 |
| WXZ | the filename of the currently selected file Dulak | 09:12 |

| erry | sweetpi, nothing | 09:15 |
| Dulak | WXZ: sorry never needed that, no idea how to do it, but I'd bet nautilus would pass the selected file as an argument to the script so look at $1, $2, $3, etc in the script | 09:16 |
| vlt | chalcedny: Maybe you changed your mac address. Look into /etc/udev/rules.d/*network* and delete old entries | 09:16 |

| Wildweasal | does sshd know to look in /etc/hosts.allow & /etc/hosts.deny , or do i have to specifically tell it to look there in sshd_config ? | 09:16 |

| ross_ | lucid | 09:16 |
| llutz | Wildweasal: it should use /etc/hosts.* by default | 09:17 |
| Dulak | WXZ: the advanced bash scripting howto has a lot of info on how to deal with arguments | 09:17 |
| madrid | Mark -I , I need the exact parameters with the key and the name added, it is quite difficult for me to understand in a language other than Spanish | 09:17 |

| WXZ | ok thanks Dulak | 09:18 |
| WXZ | pidgin isn't notifying me when someone says my name for some reason :\ | 09:18 |
| Dulak | Wildweasal: sshd should respect allow/deny by default | 09:18 |
| ross_ | looks like might be because of the latest kernal i upgraded to, the previous kernel i had no problem | 09:18 |
| abhi_nav | newboon2age, yes. It worked. :) thnaks. | 09:18 |
| newboon2age | abhi_nav: yeah!!!! off to sleep | 09:19 |
| abhi_nav | newboon2age, also it work only for png images and not for jpg. | 09:19 |
| abhi_nav | newboon2age, ok bye. :)D | 09:19 |
| maxwellian | ross_: Not likely a kernel issue. | 09:19 |
| abhi_nav | :) | 09:19 |
| vlt | erry: There's no occurance of -laptop anywhere, so the machine has no chance to resolve that name. _Maybe_ it returns ...1.71 because the part before "-laptop" is the same as with "-desktop" ...? | 09:19 |
| maxwellian | ross_: This is a package config issue, I believe. | 09:19 |
| erry | vlt, i can resolve other ips in lan tho | 09:19 |

| erry | vlt, huh? | 09:21 |
| ross_ | /usr/sbin/gdm | 09:21 |

| erry | -laptop resolves -desktop fine | 09:34 |
| erry | i dont get it | 09:34 |
| vlt | maxwellian: I think the "lan" domain is populated by the DHCP server | 09:34 |
| maxwellian | erry: If you're trying to reach your computers by hostname, you need to have the names and IPs in /etc/hosts. | 09:34 |
| vlt | erry: It's the DNS server that resolves it. And it seems to have only one stored value for "errieta-*" | 09:34 |
| erry | vlt, why does -laptop resolve -desktop then | 09:35 |

| erry | so i'd have to change it every time D: | 09:36 |
| ross_ | i got my gnome login screen back lol | 09:36 |
| ross_ | that sudo gdm service start works | 09:36 |
| jgb | anybody having trouble with cpufreq-selector/CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor? | 09:37 |
| erry | oh well see ya | 09:37 |
| maxwellian | ross_: Great! | 09:37 |
| llutz | erry: can't you set "static dhcp" in your router for those hosts | 09:37 |
| madrid | gpg: No se han encontrados datos OpenPGP válidos | 09:37 |
| madrid | madrid@max50:~$ | 09:37 |
| MaRk-I | madrid: that command was just to add the missing repo keys, that has nothing to do with your desktop | 09:37 |
| maxwellian | vlt: The only solution I know to erry's problem is to configure static IPs with /etc/interfaces and put the hostnames/IPs in /etc/hosts | 09:37 |
| debugview | is there anything that i can use to chart my bandwidth in ubuntu? | 09:38 |
| maxwellian | vlt: Are you saying there's another way? | 09:38 |
| ross_ | llutz: graci | 09:38 |
| maxwellian | vlt: erry left, but I'm curious. | 09:38 |
| Jimi_Neutral | Hi all, I am rolling out some iPaqs in Germany. Now, they have WiFi on them and one of my reps that uses them is having troubles connecting to her WiFi. I have been asked by this complete numpty at work to research German WiFi networks and WEP keys....is it just me or is that a completely stupid thing to ask me to do? | 09:38 |
| ross_ | man KDE sucks.... | 09:38 |
| jgb | debugview: what bandwidth, exactly? | 09:38 |
| vlt | maxwellian: That's what DNS is for ;-) | 09:38 |
| ross_ | xefe is not that bad, though | 09:38 |
| meatbun | how much resolution can ubuntu display with external monitor on a 10 inch netbook with GMA 3150 card? | 09:38 |
| === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz | ||
| Pindakaas | is there a way to have flash use pulseaudio? | 09:38 |
| debugview | jgb, the network bandwidth...in/out etc | 09:38 |
| ross_ | maxwellian: do you recommend another desktop environment besides the popular ones? | 09:38 |
| jgb | debugview: if you want it that basic, just use one of the widgets | 09:39 |
| maxwellian | vlt: Obviously I know what DNS is for, but I'm not aware of a way for DNS to work with domain names that don't exist. | 09:39 |
| meatbun | 1366 x 768 possible? | 09:39 |
| maxwellian | ross_: Sorry, no. Haven't used any. | 09:39 |
| jgb | debugview: for example, Netmonitor from the Screenlets app | 09:40 |
| madrid | mark i only want the console parameters for this problem... | 09:40 |
| ross_ | anyone? any cool desktop environment they'd like to recommend ? | 09:40 |
| MaRk-I | madrid: send me a pm | 09:40 |
| madrid | mark what is a pm? | 09:40 |
| MaRk-I | private message | 09:41 |
| vlt | maxwellian: The domain name ".lan" exists as soon as the DNS server knows about it (which is the case here) | 09:41 |
| chalcedny | if i have internet with the ubuntu live cd but not without it, but without it does show me ips in eth2 and eth3 . . how do i fix it? about 8 hours ago, i was typing on irc, on my ubuntu 9.04 box, it opened some screenshot windows, but i didn't press print screen, then it got slower and slower, i finally shut it down when the clock stopped moving. when i rebooted it couldnt see the lan at all. i tested and did other things. i learned to boot from | 09:41 |
| chalcedny | a usb stick and tried three different lan cards. with the live cd i had internet, but now i don't again. | 09:41 |
| madrid | yes | 09:41 |
| debugview | debugview, what about CLI? | 09:41 |
| maxwellian | vlt: So it would be hostname.lan? That would supposedly resolve to an IP? | 09:41 |
| vlt | maxwellian: When "search lan" is announced by DHCP all requests to host names will be completed to hostname.lan. Then it should work. | 09:42 |
| jgb | chalcedny: you might want to be a bit more systematic about this... | 09:42 |
| chalcedny | jgb, in how i describe it or? | 09:42 |
| jan-pieter | I installed Ubuntu on a usb drive but It doesn't boot properly. When I boot everything goes fine. I see the splash but then when gnome starts things go wrong. Most of the time my laptop stops working with a black screen. Somethings I get a black screen with a cross in it. I really have no clue what I could do about it. Does anyone want to help me? | 09:42 |
| vlt | maxwellian: (Works here with 6 different domains=) | 09:42 |
| maxwellian | vlt: Six different hosts, all on the .lan domain? | 09:43 |
| chalcedny | jan-pieter, yopu might want to say how long it's had linux on it- is this a new install? which laptop? | 09:43 |
| vlt | maxwellian: No, the same setup with local domains in six different LANs | 09:44 |
| meowbuntu | are there any good basic photo managers/editers for ubuntu like picassa | 09:44 |
| vlt | meowbuntu: f-spot comes close | 09:44 |
| jgb | chalcedny: have you tried booting the livecd again and seeing whether it still works? | 09:44 |
| maxwellian | vlt: This is very interesting to me, do you mind posting the results of one of those queries to the pastebin? This is just for my education now, no problem to be solved, so I don't mind if you're too busy. | 09:44 |
| chalcedny | jgb hmm no | 09:44 |
| meowbuntu | ah f-spot i remember that now thanks | 09:44 |
| jgb | chalcedny: and what does the network setup look like currently? | 09:44 |
| jan-pieter | chalcedny: It's the first time I try ubuntu on the laptop. It's a new install to a usb key. and its a HP laptop: dv6000 | 09:45 |
| vlt | maxwellian: This is a line in my dhcps.conf: option domain-name "dd.mycompany.intra"; | 09:46 |
| vlt | *dhcpd of course | 09:46 |
| vlt | maxwellian: dd is the location | 09:46 |
| jgb | chalcedny: drivers for the card loading correctly? | 09:46 |
| chalcedny | jgb umm how do you mean? 2 lan cards (main onboard one seems to have major problems) from my computer to switch, to router to cable modem. (wired lan)? | 09:46 |
| Waltywalt | Hey everyone - I was hoping someone might be able to help me out. New x64 Kubuntu install, running really sluggishly - I am new to linux so I don't know where to begin to check resource usage etc | 09:47 |
| chalcedny | jgb umm drivers didn't come into it yet, hadn't had anyone ask about them, just ifconfig and other commands that show eth | 09:47 |
| vlt | maxwellian: Now this is announced to all DHCP clients which results in this line in /etc/resolv.conf: search dd.mycompany.intra | 09:47 |
| theduke | hi guys, I get an error when trying to install php5-cli: Error: The new file /usr/share/php5/php.ini-production.cli does not exist! | 09:47 |
| theduke | subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 | 09:47 |
| jgb | chalcedny: put ifconfig output in a pastebin? | 09:47 |
| chalcedny | jgb you mean type it manually? | 09:48 |
| xro | hi, i would like to add an HD to my server (for the /var). Now my server is full and don't work... the command i will do --> http://dpaste.com/215037/ can you validate it please? it's my first time | 09:48 |
| vlt | maxwellian: When one of these hosts tries to reolve a host like "asterisk" it works because it actually queries for asterisk.dd.mycompany.intra | 09:48 |
| chalcedny | or jgb i can boot to the cd and pastebin it | 09:48 |
| jgb | chalcedny: don't boot the cd, i'm talking about your current setup | 09:49 |
| iflema | Waltywalt have you ever tried just plain old Ubuntu on the same system? There is a good chance its sluggish because its Kubuntu (KDE4). Activating 3D acceleration, if not already, would help some..... | 09:50 |
| chalcedny | jgb then how much of that stuff do you really need because typing it would be hard? | 09:50 |
| maxwellian | vlt: Hmmm...so you have to be running your own dhcpd? Can't use the router for dhcp? | 09:50 |
| jgb | chalcedny: not sure... maybe use a usb disk to transfer it? | 09:50 |
| Waltywalt | iflema, I did run ubuntu w/ gnome at one point - but I'm not sure if it was 64 bit. How can I enable 3d acceleration ? I'd like to try that first. | 09:51 |
| chalcedny | jgb i don't have a cd drive and the usb stick is the boot device | 09:51 |
| jgb | chalcedny: lol ok. can you disable the main(broken) card? (in the bios?) it would make things simpler. | 09:52 |
| iflema | Waltywalt m8 im not sure.... keep asking here maybe also try in #kubuntu | 09:52 |
| llutz | maxwellian: most soho-routers have that option too | 09:52 |
| vlt | maxwellian: Routers don't do DHCP | 09:52 |
| Waltywalt | iflema, Thanks :) | 09:52 |
| vlt | maxwellian: Example query: http://pastebin.com/kxEmjf3e | 09:52 |
| vlt | maxwellian: DHCP servers do | 09:53 |
| chalcedny | jgb i looked for internet in the bios before, i didn'[t see where it is, i looked on each page .. maybe it's there but i didn't see it? | 09:53 |
| jgb | vlt: some "routers" aren't only routers anymore | 09:53 |
| maxwellian | vlt: Are you just trying to be accurate with the terminology? | 09:53 |
| maxwellian | vlt: Certainly my wireless router is handling dhcp. | 09:54 |
| vlt | jgb, maxwellian: Yes, the router inside the multi-purpose device is just routing. | 09:54 |
| jgb | chalcedny: well it won't be 'internet', probably "NIC" or something, and it would be under integrated devices... but ok. let's see | 09:54 |
| chalcedny | i did look | 09:55 |
| maxwellian | vlt: On my computer, I'm not running dhcpd. The router is doing dhcp. So how can I configure that .conf file, even to start the process? | 09:56 |
| maxwellian | vlt: (I mean, the "multi-purpose device".) :) | 09:56 |
| vlt | maxwellian: I got a DHCP server, DNS server, router, wireless AP, SSH server, HTTP server and OpenVPN server. All running in the same box (you'd call "router" ;-) | 09:56 |
| Deluge | Are there any developers/packagers in the room? | 09:57 |
| vlt | maxwellian: What software runs on that ... device ;-) ? | 09:57 |
| hihihi100 | who can give me a hand to install valgrind in my ubuntu 10.04? | 09:57 |

| PyIRC | Hello. | 09:57 |
| maxwellian | vlt: I don't know, it's just a Linksys router. | 09:57 |
| PyIRC | Hello. | 09:57 |
| === PyIRC is now known as Guest64332 | ||
| chalcedny | jgb i just rebooted to bios .. now looking | 09:58 |
| maxwellian | vlt: (Sorry to take up your time with this, I'm just very curious.) | 09:58 |
| llutz | maxwellian: consider using 3rd-party firmware like dd-wrt, which allow ssh-access to the router to change those settings | 09:58 |
| vlt | maxwellian: np. I'm running DD-WRT (mind the location ;-) on all of my Linksys routers and can confiure each part of it as I like | 09:59 |
| chalcedny | jgb i have Main Smart Advanced H/W Monitor Boot Security and Exit | 09:59 |
| maxwellian | llutz: I've been meaning to look into that more, thanks. | 09:59 |
| llutz | maxwellian: tomato or openwrt might be interesting too | 10:00 |
| eitan | Need help on changing default OS on grub on 10.04 | 10:00 |
| hihihi100 | valgrind help please | 10:00 |
| Dulak | I prefer openwrt myself but they all about the same in terms of changing any setting you like | 10:00 |
| maxwellian | llutz: Dulak, llutz: Thanks, good to know there are options. | 10:00 |
| maxwellian | vlt: But out-of-the-box, this .lan domain is not normally available, right? | 10:01 |
| vlt | maxwellian: The .lan domain is defined by your Linksys device | 10:01 |
| eitan | maxwellian, Good morning. This is hareldvd on a different account. Sleep well? | 10:01 |
| vlt | maxwellian: Your resolv.conf shows a "search lan" line | 10:01 |
| vlt | maxwellian: This must have come from the DHCP server | 10:02 |
| Dulak | maxwellian: not to change, but it's defined automatically, to make changes you have to put a custom firmware on it | 10:02 |
| vlt | maxwellian: Sorry, that was erry's resolv.conf ;-) | 10:02 |
| maxwellian | eitan: Hi hareldvd. Eventually! ;) | 10:02 |
| maxwellian | vlt: Oh, I was gonna ask. :) | 10:03 |
| maxwellian | vlt: I'll look at mine now. | 10:03 |
| vlt | maxwellian: Look at your current /etc/resolv.conf | 10:03 |
| vlt | maxwellian: :) | 10:03 |
| maxwellian | Dulak: Cool, thanks. You guys are blowing my DNS mind right now. :) | 10:04 |
| eitan | I need help to make grub use a different OS as default. V1.98 is very confusing. | 10:04 |
| maxwellian | vlt: http://paste.ubuntu.com/459748/ | 10:05 |
| jgb | chalcedny: no idea, but if you can't find it, just boot the livecd, cat the output of lsmod, lspci, dmesg and ifconfig to a text file on the usb boot disk, and reboot into the installed sistem | 10:05 |
| jgb | chalcedny: *system | 10:05 |
| llutz | eitan: /etc/dafault/grub - > GRUB_DEFAULT=X | 10:06 |
| Dulak | maxwellian: those linksys routers are actually pretty awesome for the price, if you have one that can have the firmware replaced I highly recommend doing it. | 10:06 |
| chalcedny | jgb wow .. | 10:06 |
| eitan | llutz, Thanks. | 10:06 |
| llutz | eitan: sudo update-grub after changing | 10:06 |
| maxwellian | Dulak: What do routers normally run? If not some kind of Linux firmware? | 10:07 |
| vlt | maxwellian: The Linksys DHCP server seems to pass the domain it gets from your ISP's DHCP server to its clients | 10:07 |
| eitan | llutz, How can I tell which partition? the list is dynamic. | 10:07 |
| Dulak | maxwellian: each manufacturer makes thier own | 10:07 |
| _Jacob1987_ | thanks. | 10:07 |
| maxwellian | Dulak: That's lame. Especially since all that effort is moot when people like you wipe out their firmware. :) | 10:08 |
| llutz | eitan: that you have to ask the st***d grub2-devs :( | 10:08 |
| jgb | chalcedny: lsmod > NICinfo; lspci >> NICinfo; ifconfig >> NICinfo; dmesg >> NICinfo; | 10:08 |
| maxwellian | vlt: So that would preclude me from doing what you're talking about? | 10:08 |
| eitan | llutz, Thanks. | 10:08 |
| vlt | maxwellian: Linksys began to use linux itself on its devices (that's why it's possible to use your own distro at all) but w/o full access for the customer | 10:08 |

| ubottu | mooseberry: 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? | 10:10 |
| Dulak | maxwellian: unless the model number of the router has an L in it, which means linux compatible | 10:10 |
| vlt | zeitsofa: Maybe ask in #ltsp | 10:10 |
| BlueSilver39 | ubuntu is pretty much useless for an older intel card these days, but maybe its just the newer drivers | 10:11 |

| Dulak | maxwellian: that might be too new to root | 10:12 |

| mooseberry | anyone know if there is a way for rythmbox to automatically update songs from a certain folder? | 10:12 |
| Waltywalt | Why choose ubuntu over kubuntu? Is the only difference KDE vs. GNOME with the same underlying OS ? | 10:13 |
| vlt | zeitsofa: Maybe ogra knows | 10:13 |
| Dulak | maxwellian: check some of the linksys distro pages they usually have a list of compatible models and versions | 10:13 |

| DJones | Waltywalt: Thats pretty much it, it just depends which you prefer Gnome/KDE and which default applications you want | 10:13 |
| DJones | Waltywalt: Regardless of which you start with, they use the same repositories and you can install KDE app's on Ubuntu | 10:14 |

| chalcedny | jgb i don't even know how to do that.. but i'm saving each one as a .txt is that ok? | 10:19 |
| Dulak | Waltywalt: moving to 64 bit without requiring it just doubles the amount of ram everything you run uses for no good reason | 10:19 |
| Waltywalt | Dulak, yeah I'll try that I guess ... I just really wanted to utilize the technology to it's fullest. I have a 35Mb up & down connection | 10:19 |

| korya | hall | 10:20 |
| korya | hi all* | 10:20 |
| Dulak | Waltywalt: 32 bit address space to 64 bit means every address is twice as big as before | 10:20 |
| Waltywalt | I think I have 4Gb Ram in this machine (probably a slower bus though, I can't recall) | 10:20 |
| NarbeH | how can i drop a connection in "ss" command? | 10:21 |
| vlt | NarbeH: Assuming you mean "ssh" just type exit, hit ctrl+d or AltGr+] | 10:21 |
| chalcedny | jgb is lsmod > NICinfo; lspci >> NICinfo; ifconfig >> NICinfo; dmesg >> NICinfo; a command? | 10:21 |
| Dulak | Waltywalt: 64 bit is only if you really need it, like you have more than 4 gigs of ram say | 10:21 |
| NarbeH | vitaly: no, ss | 10:21 |
| Waltywalt | I guess in my certification classes I just understood 64 vs 32 to mean that the machine's components would send the information theoretically twice as fast. | 10:22 |
| maxwellian | Dulak: Does it actually double the amount of RAM *used* or the amount of RAM *addressable*? | 10:22 |
| llutz | NarbeH: ctrl-c? | 10:22 |
| vlt | Waltywalt: There are some applications that run faster with 64 bit. AES for example or some databases | 10:22 |
| developer | Can I run dream weaver in Ubuntu ? | 10:22 |
| maxwellian | Sorry, didn't know that actually made things bold. | 10:22 |
| Waltywalt | developer, I don't think adobe has linux versions available??? | 10:23 |
| Dulak | maxwellian: every memory address becomes double the size it was, everything doubles in ram | 10:23 |
| Waltywalt | developer, if you learn differently please let me know - I would be a happy camper | 10:23 |

| Nikolai_D | vlt: so? | 10:26 |
| developer | Waltywalt, How about using wine for dream weaver in Ubuntu ? | 10:26 |
| NarbeH | llutz: yeah men, thats it | 10:26 |
| Dulak | maxwellian: Every address is twice the size it was at 32 bits, so allocating one address that used to be 32 bits of memory is now 64 bits of memory | 10:26 |
| NarbeH | thx | 10:26 |
| vlt | maxwellian: Programs now store their data in 64bit long words -> more RAM _used_ too | 10:26 |
| aldin | Hi, where do i enable small icons, which can be seen besides label, for e.g nautilusOpenInTerminal, i have it on Mint, it must be somewhere in gconf-editor? Please take look at this picture http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/5319/nosmallicons.png | 10:26 |
| chalcedny | i should have explained more, i did boot the livecd, pasted the output of lsmod, lspci, dmesg and ifconfig to a text file, but now i will need them on 'my' computer NOT the cd .. so how? | 10:26 |
| Waltywalt | developer, I don't know. I don't have hardly any experience in linux OS' ... I have a very extensive Windows background - so I can not help you. | 10:27 |
| indus | chalcedny, get it to a pen drive then , | 10:27 |
| iceroot | chalcedny: system - settings - apperiance | 10:27 |
| iceroot | chalcedny: show icons, show text, show small icons and so on | 10:27 |
| chalcedny | iceroot, hmm? | 10:27 |
| indus | chalcedny, hmm wait it can be copied sure , to a non live cd running partition :) | 10:27 |

| chalcedny | iceroot, it's ok don't worry | 10:28 |

| developer | Waltywalt, If you have any doubt please ask me, I am a Linux Pro. | 10:29 |
| chalcedny | indus this system 's cd drive quit working, i never botered with it.. so i have the live verson on my usb stick | 10:29 |
| indus | chalcedny, basically, if your hdd already has some partitions, just move over the files there | 10:29 |
| indus | chalcedny, aah easy easy easy | 10:29 |
| indus | chalcedny, so remake the usb bootable with persistent option, or probably its already made taht way, and you can surely copy to flash | 10:30 |
| indus | chalcedny, did you try copy to pen drive ? that same bootable one | 10:30 |
| chalcedny | indus no i didn't, i've never done that , it's hard for me to do visual stuff | 10:31 |
| indus | chalcedny, any vision problems? | 10:31 |
| chalcedny | indus i do better with commandline /plain text | 10:31 |
| indus | chalcedny, you said you are booting from usb flash. I dont understand what you cannot see | 10:31 |
| aldin | iceroot: dont see that | 10:32 |

| indus | chalcedny, right click on file and send to | 10:33 |
| chalcedny | indus, in a terminal, vim? | 10:34 |
| indus | chalcedny, see ? | 10:34 |
| chalcedny | no | 10:34 |
| indus | chalcedny, terminal ? | 10:34 |
| indus | chalcedny, why dont you just cp /path/to/drive | 10:34 |
| developer | ranjan, are you kidding | 10:34 |
| chalcedny | indus, it's jsut not something i know how to do | 10:35 |
| ranjan | developer, Kidding ??!!! Whats that in the linux world?? | 10:35 |
| Dulak | mnemon: I did, made a box with 2 gig ram run like it had 1 gig. The minimum addressable space doubles, but that doesn't mean all ram usage doubles, I was simplifying it to get the point across | 10:35 |

| indus | chalcedny, DID YOu make this pen drive persistent when creating it? its an option that lets you save to the same live drive | 10:38 |
| indus | chalcedny, else, to save to HDD, youshould mount the disk | 10:38 |
| burr_ | i mean deleted | 10:38 |

| indus | chalcedny, do one thing, in live session, go to places and see if you see any partitions | 10:40 |

| CbIP | Hi guys! Can anybody help, plz? Why does the same browser (Opera) on the same PC, on the same Wifi connection works 3-5 times slower under Ubuntu, than Windows 7? | 10:43 |
| maxwellian | burr_: You were dual booting? | 10:43 |
| burr_ | it happened to me twice | 10:43 |
| burr_ | and yes | 10:43 |
| Joshmuffin | indus, i have a ati radeon HD4650 | 10:43 |
| maxwellian | burr_: Which Windows, which Ubuntu? And which did you install first? | 10:44 |
| burr_ | windows 7 came pre-installed | 10:44 |
| iflema | burr_ if you selected system recovery its most likely your system had a recovery partition containing widows in case of a reload and you reloaded it. In such a case winblows will NOT warn you. | 10:44 |
| chalcedny | CbIP, ive seen 5 people in here tonight with similar (not identical) problems, see if you can google slower in 10.04 or something like that | 10:44 |
| burr_ | then i installed 10.04 | 10:44 |
| maxwellian | burr_: Okay, that is generally the way to do it, since Ubuntu knows how to play nice with other OS's. | 10:45 |
| CbIP | chalcedny: Thanks, I'll try. I decided to use Ubuntu instead of Win 7 on my notebook - but this problem annoys me | 10:45 |
| burr_ | well, i know that recovery caused the problem...but what did it do? shouldn't it have gotten rid of grub as well? and how can i hide the recovery partition from the menu so i don't accidentally click it again | 10:45 |
| chalcedny | CbIP, see if firefox or some other browser is faster -- opera works fine for me on 9.04 | 10:46 |
| CbIP | chalcedny the same thing happens with Firefox. It seems like 5 or more seconds timeout before page starts to load. And it loads very slow (especially pics.) | 10:47 |
| Joshmuffin | indus, i added Ubuntu X Team's PPA and ran apt-get upgrade, in an attempt to get the new drivers, there downloading now. | 10:47 |
| chalcedny | CbIP, hmm i'm not an expert - it just doesn't seem right .. stuff should fly on ubuntu | 10:48 |
| maxwellian | burr_: I don't know what happened, but removing the link from the Grub list shouldn't be too hard. | 10:48 |
| burr_ | okay, how? | 10:49 |
| CbIP | chalcedny - Everything else flys! Compiz, folder opening... Everything | 10:49 |
| burr_ | or rather | 10:49 |
| burr_ | do you have any ideas? | 10:49 |
| maxwellian | burr_: Are you comfortable with the command line? | 10:49 |

| CbIP | for | 10:49 |
| burr_ | yes | 10:50 |

| maxwellian | burr_: Do you have an editor preference? | 10:50 |
| chalcedny | CbIP, keep asking | 10:50 |
| burr_ | kate | 10:50 |
| maxwellian | burr_: Okay, the menu file is /boot/grub/menu.lst | 10:51 |
| iflema | burr_ you where there...... what and how many times did you select something and what was selected, if anything??? Did you answer any questions? Was the word "partition" involved at all? | 10:51 |
| chalcedny | is there a way to copy stuff from live cd to main drive or to access the live cd from the drive after i boot into the drive normally? | 10:51 |
| CbIP | soreau: don;t know - I'm using another PC now. What shoud it say? | 10:51 |
| burr_ | iflema: no, i immediately exited the recovery menu | 10:51 |
| burr_ | maxwellian: open with sudo or gksudo? | 10:52 |
| CbIP | soreau: Give me a minute and I'll change pc | 10:52 |
| iflema | burr_ and the rebooted to nothing? | 10:52 |
| burr_ | iflema: yes | 10:52 |
| soreau | CbIP: Just look at the nameserver line and try a different public DNS like googles 8.8.8.8 | 10:52 |
| iflema | burr_ very strange... as you where.... | 10:52 |
| CbIP | soreau: Thank you! | 10:53 |
| maxwellian | burr_: sudo | 10:54 |
| maxwellian | burr_: Actually, before you do anything, we should back up the file. | 10:54 |
| llutz | burr_: gksudo for gui-apps | 10:54 |
| iflema | burr_ the new grub, grub2, makes it hard to hide things that exist.... it is possible to remove the recovery option from the menu but you may experience tears.... | 10:55 |
| burr_ | ehh | 10:55 |
| burr_ | i'll just tell him to be really careful | 10:55 |

| beppo | ah i see | 11:15 |
| xro | erUSUL, and how to ask him? | 11:15 |

| Lazyvee | hello everyone! I installed Ubuntu 10.04 (dual boot) and could get online and update using my LAN cable but things got more complicated when I decided to try my Atheros wifi card. Basically what happens is it detects the network but doesn't connect to the internet. I tried 'ndiswrapper -l' in the Terminal but nothing showed so I did 'lspci -nn' to find my card model and the downloaded the... | 11:16 |
| Lazyvee | ...driver I found on http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ndiswrapper. Now that I have this zip file I have a silly question (i'm new to Linux): how do I install the driver? | 11:16 |

| engemec | MaRK-I, I remember thar ubuntu forum had a page with dinamic php that did give sources.list to you Ubuntu distro and language. Dou you know something about this? | 11:16 |
| xro | erUSUL, ok thanks for your help | 11:16 |
| erUSUL | !sources | engemec | 11:16 |
| ubottu | engemec: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 11:16 |
| llutz | Misterio: /etc/init for upstart-scripts, not init.d (sysv-init) | 11:16 |
| erUSUL | xro: no problem | 11:16 |
| Misterio | llutz: Ah okay | 11:17 |
| burr_ | okay changing the splash screen just sounds really complicated | 11:17 |
| maxwellian | burr_: Hmmm...maybe that's just a bad source. | 11:17 |
| monokrome | How do I disable pulseaudio?? | 11:17 |
| maxwellian | burr_: Let me look at some other results. | 11:17 |

| beppo | but how can i tell smbd to start after network? | 11:18 |

| JediMaster | I'm trying to create an xorg.conf file using Xorg -configure but it fails with: "(EE) [drm] No DRICreatePCIBusID symbol" any ideas? | 11:19 |
| MaRk-I | Lazyvee: also check your wireless chipset | 11:19 |
| engemec | MaRK-I, thanks! I guess that my server is blocking some repos. I will check with administrator. Thanks a lot. | 11:19 |
| MaRk-I | engemec: you can try that page and select the faster repo option takes a while but it works and yw | 11:20 |
| Lazyvee | MaRk-I: chipset is Atheros Communications Inc. AR241 | 11:21 |
| beppo | erUSUL | 11:21 |
| Lazyvee | Atheros Communications Inc. AR2413 | 11:21 |
| beppo | how can i add the dependency | 11:22 |
| erUSUL | beppo: really dunno; upstart is stil mystery ro me... seems that smbd only depends on local filesystems being present ... | 11:22 |
| JediMaster | has anyone had any luck setting up a USB monitor (yes it's power AND video data over USB) on ubuntu? | 11:22 |
| beppo | :) | 11:23 |
| beppo | in gentoo it's quite easy syntax^^ | 11:23 |
| erUSUL | beppo: there is a #upstart channe. maybe there | 11:23 |
| beppo | ah tx fine | 11:23 |
| engemec | MaRK-I, 2 hours ago, everything was working! I was at home, and now, I'm at work! Because this, I guess that the main problem is the work server and some rule on squid or iptables. | 11:25 |
| erUSUL | beppo: see the ufw.conf it has three network envents. maybe adding those to smbd does the trick | 11:25 |
| engemec | MaRK-I, yesterday a I had same problem here! :) Now..... repeating. | 11:26 |
| MaRk-I | engemec: seems like the server where the mirror is hosted is having problems | 11:26 |
| MaRk-I | try a different one | 11:27 |
| erUSUL | engemec: changin mirror is easy in System>Admin...> Software Sources | 11:28 |
| xro | erUSUL, can you help me a bit more? i tried but to send a message to an admin --> /msg gravity --> Insufficient arguments for command. | 11:30 |
| erUSUL | xro: /msg gravity hi! sorry to bother you. | 11:30 |
| erUSUL | xro: you have to include a msg | 11:30 |
| maxwellian | Lazyvee: I have the same chipset as you, and I'm not using ndiswrapper. | 11:31 |
| Aufwind | Sorry, for the question, does somone here uses a mac? | 11:31 |
| EtherNet | hello | 11:31 |
| EtherNet | Aufwind, I do, but I don't run linux on it | 11:32 |
| Lazyvee | maxwellian: what are you using? do you know how to make it work? | 11:32 |
| xro | erUSUL, thank you again.... | 11:32 |
| zeitsofa | Aufwind: yes as design paperweight | 11:32 |
| maxwellian | Lazyvee: I'm using the ath5k module. I'm on 9.10 but I hope it still works on 10.04. | 11:32 |
| erUSUL | xro: yw | 11:32 |
| maxwellian | Lazyvee: Are you comfortable with the terminal? | 11:33 |
| Aufwind | EtherNet: Me neither. May I ask you for something? I want to configure a gateway on a mac. But I only know the command for ubuntu. How do I translate this ubuntu command "route add -net 10.1.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 gw >>Here is an IP<< metric 1" into a mac command? | 11:33 |
| Lazyvee | also, I've just read in an Ubuntu forum that 'sudo modprobe ath5k nohwcrypt' then 'sudo sh -c "echo 'options ath5k nohwcrypt' >/etc/modprobe.d/custom-wireless.conf"' then reboot worked with my chipset | 11:33 |
| maxwellian | Lazyvee: I don't know what that nohwcrypt stuff is. | 11:33 |
| Lazyvee | maxwellian: not really, I'm new to Linux, but I'm starting to know how to use it after trying so many lines hehe | 11:34 |
| MaRk-I | Lazyvee: does it connect without encryption? | 11:34 |
| maxwellian | Lazyvee: Okay, can you do 'ifconfig' and post the output to paste.ubuntu.com? | 11:35 |
| alteregoa | shaka when the walls fell | 11:35 |
| Lazyvee | i didn't try without encryption, but someone told me it worked without encryption | 11:35 |
| Lazyvee | ok | 11:36 |
| maxwellian | MaRk-I: What do you mean, without encryption? Without WPA? | 11:36 |
| beppo | erUSUL | 11:36 |
| beppo | thx, i will try | 11:36 |
| MaRk-I | maxwellian: exactly WEP, WPA, WPA2 | 11:36 |
| maxwellian | MaRk-I: I don't have a problem with encryption using ath5k module. Same chipset. But I don't know if 10.04 changes things somehow. | 11:37 |
| beppo | erUSUL see nmbd.conf | 11:37 |
| beppo | there is written how | 11:37 |
| MaRk-I | maxwellian: it does if there's bug reports about it | 11:38 |
| maxwellian | MaRk-I: As always. :) | 11:38 |

| Misterio | skramer_: And restarting network-manager? | 11:53 |
| skramer_ | Misterio: CLI? or clicking the icon in panel? | 11:54 |
| bullgard4 | maxwellian: Yes. Thank you. | 11:54 |
| Dulak | skramer_: replugging the usb wireless doesn't work you have to reboot? | 11:54 |
| skramer_ | Misterio: what makes me wondering is that the LED on USB webcam is flashing while the network gets disconnected... | 11:54 |
| skramer_ | Dulak: replugging does not work, the device will not be recocgnized then... | 11:55 |
| airtonix | skramer_, do you understand what it means to "restart network manager" ? | 11:55 |
| skramer_ | airtonix: sudo NetworkManager restart | 11:55 |
| airtonix | skramer_, and this does nothing ? | 11:56 |
| Dulak | something on your usb bus is funky, unplug everything from usb and start testing wireless with each usb component attached | 11:56 |
| skramer_ | airtonix: nope | 11:56 |
| airtonix | skramer_, what driver are you using? | 11:56 |

| bullgard4 | fulldarkness: It depends on the file type. | 11:57 |
| Dulak | skramer_, replugging usb should have almost the same effect as a reboot, the fact that it doesn't means one of your usb components is doing something goofy | 11:57 |
| airtonix | skramer_, ok thats the name of the driver so what device is it on this page : http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/zd1211rw/devices | 11:57 |
| FloodBot3 | !netsplit | 11:59 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 11:59 |
| skramer_ | airtonix: 0586:3410 | 11:59 |

| Samara | is there any material that i can read to configure evolution to work with hotmail?? | 12:28 |
| Dr_Willis | jolaren: its connected to teh volume thing. You can remove teh package. or remove teh applet and have the mail + vol thing gone. Other then that. Not sure. | 12:28 |
| dannbrown | oh ok rautamiekka:)thanks | 12:28 |

| Lazyvee | maxwellian: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/tavWAMtA | 12:37 |
| rautamiekka | dannbrown: Simply put, you want to _block_ access to porn sites totally so that the user receives something like "access denied" upon trying to get to one ? | 12:37 |
| napster | Dr_Willis: Could that be an error with the installation? Can I try reinstalling? | 12:38 |
| dannbrown | yes that all i meant sir rautamiekka,and i want to block all porn keyword | 12:38 |
| Dr_Willis | dannbrown: ive seen some firefox extensions/tools to let you do that. Or theres some other proxys/tools | 12:38 |
| Dr_Willis | napster: no idea really. Try some live cd's and see if it works for them. What kind of keyboard it is? american? british? | 12:38 |
| maxwellian | Lazyvee: Your card is detecting a wireless network named "bbox2-ac0e", is that your network? | 12:38 |
| rautamiekka | Dr_Willis: He wants to use Squid to block access. | 12:38 |
| napster | Dr_Willis: USA | 12:39 |
| rical | Dr_Willis: Is it possible to split in a non symetrical pattern? | 12:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Squid is a 'cacheing' proxy - i dident think it did 'filtering' | 12:39 |

| dannbrown | can u share those add ons or tools with me sir Dr_Willis | 12:39 |
| Lazyvee | maxwellian: not my network, my neighbour's network. that's strange because I tried this before and I could see my SSID as well | 12:40 |
| maxwellian | Lazyvee: Are you sure your network is up? | 12:40 |
| wookienz | erUSUL: gdisk doesnt give me much more as it says that oe of the dirves doesnt have a GPT and tries to comvert its MBR to GPT - which is probably not what i want. As far as i understand each of the drives may have a different partition appearance for a raid 0 array | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | dannbrown: nope. I just rember seeing the firefox extension/feature once at the FF addons site. It had some sort of 'faimly safety' feature. and was admin'd by a master user/web interface | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | dannbrown: i tried it ages ago and diont even rember its name' | 12:41 |

| maxwellian | MaRk-I: On my machine (same chipset) the interface is called ath0, so I was hoping that would help. | 12:48 |

| Lazyvee | maxwellian: no, I see 2 arrows, the first going up and the other going down (wired connection) but i'm connected with the wireless as well, at least to my LAN | 12:53 |
| Dr_Willis | wookienz: you can dd one hd to another of larger size and it 'should' work. but dding it BACK can be an issue. (thus the use of a file) | 12:53 |

| Dr_Willis | wookienz: also using dd with a hard drive PARTITION is more commonly done to 'archive' a partition. unless you really want a clone of the whole hard drive - including the mbnr, swap, and otehr partitions in one swoop | 12:54 |
| dannbrown | i cant use that sir mark-i ,since my laptop connection is dynamic | 12:54 |

| bullgard4 | I have installed the DEB program package »linux-source«. Am I right in believing that installing the package »linux-doc« is thus dispensable? | 12:58 |
| Dr_Willis | I thought a fakeraid was a software raid.. but i dont use raids any more | 12:58 |

| ingenius | I don't know .. im using 10.04 :) | 13:01 |
| ingenius | default instalation | 13:01 |
| Lazyvee | maxwellian: Auto eth0 uses the typical IP 192.168.x.x and the wifi... 10.42.43.1 now that's the part I don't understand, even I input 192.168.x.x in the wireless connection settings it always displays 10.42.43.1 | 13:02 |
| chandru_in | how to issue a /quit in empathy? | 13:02 |
| rautamiekka | ingenius: If you made pure installation, it's using 2. If it's upgrade from prev' Ubuntu, it's most Legacy unless you explicitly told it to install 2 | 13:02 |
| Dr_Willis | ingenius: thats grub2 then. | 13:02 |
| ingenius | yes grub2 its a pure installation | 13:02 |
| rautamiekka | ingenius: I dig up that info from my Ubuntu Server, just a sec. | 13:02 |
| Dr_Willis | ingenius: see the file /etc/default/grub for the 'hide' options | 13:03 |

| robthebob | just upgraded to lucid, cant seem to add just a volume icon without this new envelope thing. any ideas? | 13:03 |
| maxwellian | Lazyvee: I don't know how you're trying to specify the IP, but it's okay for your router to assign an address in the 10.*.*.* range. | 13:04 |
| Dr_Willis | robthebob: they are the same applet. you can remove them both from the panel. and use the gnome-volume-control-applet if you just want a volume applet. | 13:05 |
| AhmedBH | Hi all, I am on lucid and i accidently deleted the Default cursor cause i was removing additional cursor and themes so its gone now, how do i get it back | 13:05 |
| maxwellian | Lazyvee: The specific address you got seems weird...mine is usually 10.0.1.8 or something like that. | 13:05 |
| eoke | robthebob: I think it's something like removing the package "indicator-messages". | 13:05 |
| wookienz | Dr_Willis: can i dd my OS drive while the OS is running? | 13:05 |
| Dr_Willis | wookienz: short answer.. You dont. | 13:05 |
| Dr_Willis | wookienz: use a live cd. theres several out with many disk imageing/recovery/restore tools included | 13:06 |
| wookienz | why? | 13:06 |
| wookienz | ok. | 13:06 |
| Dr_Willis | wookienz: think about it.. :) | 13:06 |
| chandru_in | Doesn't empathy support all IRC commands? | 13:06 |
| robthebob | Dr_Willis, right, that isn't in the menu though when i try to add applets | 13:06 |
| Pici | chandru_in: no. Empathy has limited IRC support. | 13:06 |
| Dr_Willis | wookienz: you are dding a drive.. somthing writes to the first part of the hd. (a log or somthing) and then your dd image.. is then wrong. | 13:06 |
| maxwellian | Lazyvee: Anyway, if you have an IP address, then try disabling the ethernet. | 13:06 |
| Dr_Willis | robthebob: its not an applet you add its a app you run. | 13:07 |
| maxwellian | Lazyvee: Good luck! | 13:07 |
| Lazyvee | maxwellian: I think I always get 10.42.43.1 with the wireless | 13:07 |
| eoke | robthebob: Yeah that works but you'll have to log out and back in again or remove and readd the indicator applet before you see the change. | 13:07 |
| chandru_in | Pici: Any suggestion for better IRC client for gnome? | 13:07 |
| Pici | chandru_in: xchat is quite good | 13:07 |
| robthebob | i don't understand the connection between sound and this email/chatting mixture icon | 13:07 |
| robthebob | why are they so inextricably linked? | 13:07 |
| Dr_Willis | robthebob: they are the same 'applet' its a combo applet. | 13:07 |
| Lazyvee | let's see | 13:07 |
| Dr_Willis | robthebob: at least thats how i see it work | 13:07 |
| robthebob | (except the two icons have a massive amount of wasted space between them unlike other icons) | 13:08 |
| maxwellian | Lazyvee: You might lose your current connections. You might need to reconnect to the wireless. | 13:08 |
| gracz | hi to all :D | 13:08 |
| maxwellian | Lazyvee: But try to go to a web page or something after disabling the ethernet. | 13:08 |
| robthebob | so the long and the short of it is that an average user has no way of removing the envelope thing without also losing the ability to modify the volume | 13:09 |
| eoke | robthebob: To get rid of it execute "sudo aptitude remove indicator-messages" log out and back in again. | 13:09 |
| robthebob | strange | 13:09 |
| AhmedBH | can i run IMVU under wine ? | 13:09 |
| rautamiekka | ingenius: If I remember correctly without making a search, opening up "/etc/default/grub" and editing line "GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true" to be exactly that way and then running "sudo update-grub", the menu should become invisible again. | 13:09 |
| robthebob | eoke, that will remove only the envelope? | 13:09 |
| Lazyvee | maxwellian: I'll turn off both connections and see if if works | 13:09 |
| gracz | (I'm sorry for my poor english) :) | 13:09 |
| eoke | robthebob: Correct | 13:09 |
| robthebob | ok i'll try that thanks | 13:09 |
| Misterio | AhmedBH: Wine has its own public database | 13:09 |
| eoke | robthebob: Np | 13:09 |
| maxwellian | Lazyvee: You'll need to turn on the wireless, obviously. | 13:10 |

| AhmedBH | misterio: thanks tho | 13:10 |
| ingenius | rautamiekka: you right ... sorry by my stupid question but i have mora than 12 yours in the computer | 13:10 |
| maxwellian | Lazyvee: But I'm suggesting turn off both, then re-enable the wireless. | 13:10 |

| tydeas | bobo123: exactly | 14:09 |
| yehia | io, i dont want to upgrade it as every time i upgrade - i lose the flixibility and compatiblity with my Laptop | 14:09 |

| silv3r_m00n | I need to scan over the network , I mean the scanner is connected to other computer over lan | 14:10 |
| bobo123 | tydeas: btw, do you use some wireless connection, or have network cables to all your computers? | 14:10 |
| silv3r_m00n | how ? | 14:10 |
| tydeas | bobo123: cables. i am talking here by connecting with shh | 14:10 |
| MaRk-I | Proz: you cant use the regular live cd? | 14:10 |
| tydeas | to an other pc in same network | 14:10 |
| Proz | No, I'd like LVM + Encryption. | 14:10 |
| Dulak | Ash___: inside fdisk 'p' will print out the partitions, look for the id number of the windows partition | 14:10 |
| tydeas | bobo123: any idea? | 14:11 |
| bobo123 | tydeas: and the other computers can still reach internet? | 14:11 |
| tydeas | yes this how i talk to you | 14:11 |
| bobo123 | tydeas: I am trying to get any idea but just now I can't understand how it is possible.... | 14:11 |
| Dulak | Ash___: once you know that id number, hit 'a' and give that number, then hit 'w' to write the change | 14:11 |

| === joerg is now known as Guest48444 | ||
| === Guest48444 is now known as theodor | ||
| Ash___ | oh no, sily me | 14:13 |
| Ash___ | apparently the ID's 7, but im only allowed to input 1-4? | 14:13 |
| bobo123 | tydeas: I suppose you have a home router (or ads-lmodem with router builtin etc) and your router gives your ubuntu computer a ipnumber when started as it should, but then after a while drops it? perhaps you can try to write a permanent ipnumber on your ubuntu-computer instead | 14:13 |
| Dulak | Ash___: no the partition id number: sda1 sda2 sda3 etc | 14:14 |
| Ash___ | ah, okay | 14:14 |
| Ash___ | so, currently sda1 is enabled and sda2 is disabled | 14:14 |
| Ash___ | i should enable 2 and disable 1? | 14:14 |
| Dulak | Ash___: which is listed as ntfs? | 14:14 |
| Ash___ | both are listed as HPFS/NTFS | 14:14 |

| tomatto_ | leven: yes | 14:15 |
| leven | tomatto_: how? | 14:15 |

| leven | the menu it had in prev- releases is gone | 14:15 |
| leven | now all i can choose is install or boot? | 14:16 |
| Dulak | Ash___: make sure you write the change first with 'w' | 14:16 |
| tomatto_ | leven: in menu it must be | 14:16 |
| Ash___ | yeah, done. i'll let you know how it gets on | 14:16 |
| leven | i never get the menu | 14:16 |
| bobo123 | tydeas: try rightclick on the network symbol and edit network connection, and then edit the "auto eth0" to not use DHCP for IPv4, but instead Manual and say 192.168.0.10 or something | 14:16 |
| bobo123 | now I must run | 14:17 |

| user1_ | Dr_Willis: u there? | 14:21 |
| tanthony | I have tried searching google and some forums for 3 days now without luck.. | 14:21 |
| tomatto_ | leven: better is install grub on flash. to run memtest | 14:22 |
| ghoulsblade | i'd like to have those configure dialogs i got during install back, but couldn't get them with dpkg-reconfigure =( | 14:22 |

| barfster | nucc1: Yes | 14:25 |
| barfster | 0 or 1 | 14:25 |
| Dulak | nucc1: you'd have to create a broken array with the first disk and then add the second disk to the array to sync it, if you mean raid 1 (mirroring) | 14:26 |
| Ash___ | oh, weird. i'm not sure why, but changing the MBR has allowed me to be able to mount the windows partion, Dulak. that's strange. | 14:26 |
| nucc1 | barfster, 1, it won't require losing data eh? | 14:26 |
| nucc1 | barfster, ah, thanks :) | 14:26 |
| Ash___ | hopefully i'll be able to copy across all my files now, and i'll just reformat windows | 14:26 |
| Dulak | Ash___: nifty, at least you'll get your data | 14:26 |
| nucc1 | barfster, does it have anything to do with lvm? | 14:27 |
| xro | hi, to remove graphical interface from an existing installation. i can do apt-get remove gnu??? thanks | 14:27 |
| bazhang | !noX | xro | 14:27 |
| ubottu | xro: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. | 14:27 |
| bazhang | xro, or you could just use the minimal iso or server iso then build on that | 14:28 |
| barfster | I’d say yes and no: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_Volume_Manager_(Linux) | 14:28 |
| xro | bazhang, but i also need more disk space... so, i would like to uninstall it | 14:28 |
| nucc1 | Dulak, thanks | 14:28 |
| bazhang | xro, is this permanent? | 14:28 |

| S4nD3r | Im almost to format everything and start back from beginning | 14:29 |
| VCoolio | xro: you could uninstall ubuntu-desktop, it's a metapackage that will take all ubuntu applications like evolution and nautilus and what not with it | 14:30 |
| bazhang | VCoolio, removing that will only remove that one package | 14:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Uninstalling ubuntu-desktop wont remove anything. | 14:30 |
| Dr_Willis | other then the meta-package package itself. :) | 14:30 |
| xro | VCoolio, ok... ubuntu-descktop instead of gnu (gnu is on debian i think)... thanks | 14:31 |
| VCoolio | bazhang: ah, so after that also autoremove? | 14:31 |
| loneowais_ | hey, would anyone like to try out my new app. It's a gmail notifier; ppa:loneowais/ppa | 14:31 |
| Dulak | meta packages only work for installing unfortunately | 14:31 |

| user1_ | Dr_Willis: how do we repartition usb using fdisk on ubuntu . the dd command is finally over with 1024 bs. | 14:31 |
| Dr_Willis | user1_: sudo fdisk /dev/whatever then use the proper commands to make the partitions how you want. and 'w'rite changes to disk when done | 14:31 |

| user1_ | erUSUL:it's 256GiB. disk utility shows it as 275GB | 15:04 |
| struhevol | all i want to do is delete the dir | 15:04 |
| user1_ | gelan: that's the biggest problem . it does create ext3. but mmediately after that it scans and says unknown format. | 15:04 |
| Ragav | hi | 15:04 |
| iflema | _spm_Draget oi.... from the install cd, its only a couple of clicks away | 15:05 |
| gelan | user1_, that sounds like a problem with the drive. | 15:05 |
| _spm_Draget | iflema: Huh, what do you mean? | 15:05 |
| erUSUL | user1_: well the filesystem will depend on in what systems/OS you will be using the disk | 15:05 |
| knoppies | struhevol, then sudo rm and sudo rmdir | 15:06 |
| gelan | user1_, how about NTFS? | 15:06 |
| knoppies | struhevol, Just be careful with rm. | 15:06 |
| user1_ | gelan: is there a foolproof test to know if a USB is problematic or not? | 15:06 |
| bribroder | Anyone know how to add a driver to the minimal install? | 15:06 |
| iflema | _spm_Draget aptitude may not be on the install cd but it will be available in the repositories | 15:06 |
| user1_ | erUSUL: i want it to be recognized on ubuntu first and then may be half for fat32 and half for ext3! | 15:07 |
| gelan | user1_, Let me ask a silly question here. You did click on "apply" in gparted. Did'nt you? | 15:07 |
| user1_ | gelan: yes | 15:07 |
| _spm_Draget | iflema: Good, because I think it is confisuing new users | 15:07 |
| gelan | user1_, I don't know of a foolproof test but did you try NTFS? | 15:08 |

| user1_ | gelan: i did. | 15:09 |
| struhevol | rm dont work on directories | 15:09 |
| erUSUL | user1_: i would use ( for flash device ) ext2 or ext4 without journal if it is going to be used in linux | 15:09 |
| sebsebseb | hi | 15:09 |
| Ash____ | urr, sorry about that. my netbook died. | 15:09 |
| erUSUL | user1_: or ntfs if it is going to be used in windows and linux | 15:09 |
| gelan | user1_, Didnt work I suppose. | 15:09 |
| smt-mobil | is there a special channel where server configuration topics are discussed? | 15:09 |
| user1_ | erUSUL: gparted didnt work. do you have commands for ubuntu fdisk? | 15:10 |
| Ash____ | Mark-I, i'm sure the internet hates me today. the Ubuntu site you linked me to won't work, and Alien failed converting the RPM to a .deb | 15:10 |
| visof | i can use irc and i can't open any web pages , i changes the nameserver to 8.8.8.8 and i have the same problem | 15:10 |
| sebsebseb | smt-mobil: #ubuntu-server for Server Edition | 15:10 |
| smt-mobil | thx | 15:10 |
| visof | what should i check too ? | 15:10 |
| erUSUL | user1_: use parted in command line . « sudo parted /dev/sdx » type help press enter | 15:10 |
| MaRk-I | Ash____: odd because the page says testdisk is in the universe repos | 15:10 |
| sebsebseb | smt-mobil: np | 15:10 |
| gelan | user1_, you have another flash drive lying around that you could try formatting? | 15:11 |
| Ash____ | Mark-I, the ubuntu version i'm running's pretty old, it's the only LiveCD i could find lying about :/ | 15:11 |
| MaRk-I | Ash____: what version? | 15:11 |
| Ash____ | and I changed the repos and still couldn't find it in synaptic, so I'm guessing it's not included in this ver. | 15:11 |
| blain | can 64bit cds be requested or only 32bit? | 15:12 |
| user1_ | gelan: quite a good suggestion but not this huge. | 15:12 |
| user1_ | erUSUL: i will try parted this time with ntfs. | 15:12 |
| gelan | user1_, can you try it on another OS or PC? | 15:12 |
| Ash____ | pah, i don't even know. i'm imagining 8, maybe. | 15:12 |
| MaRk-I | lol | 15:12 |
| gelan | user1_, what version of Ubuntu again? | 15:12 |
| erUSUL | user1_: you have to install ntfsprogs package if you want to format in ntfs | 15:12 |
| MaRk-I | cat /proc/lsb_release is that the command? | 15:13 |
| bribroder | Anyone know how to add a driver to the minimal install? | 15:13 |
| Ash____ | no such file or directory, i'm getting. | 15:13 |
| MaRk-I | shoot i forgot the command xD | 15:13 |
| Ash____ | yeah, it's not one i store at the front of my mind :P | 15:14 |
| user1_ | erUSUL: oh ok.so a dos parition table and ntfs. | 15:14 |
| bazhang | !version | 15:14 |
| 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> » | 15:14 |
| _spm_Draget | Who made autofs? Sun? | 15:14 |
| MaRk-I | there you go, ty bazhang | 15:14 |
| user1_ | gelan: lucid | 15:14 |
| Ash____ | 'no lsb modules are available'. christ, it must be old. | 15:14 |
| gelan | user1_, then gparted should have come with ntfsprogs | 15:14 |
| bazhang | _spm_Draget, does that have anything to do with ubuntu support? | 15:14 |
| MaRk-I | Ash____: must be warty whoary lmao | 15:15 |
| _spm_Draget | bazhang: sort of... because I heard there were forks... and I have no idea what ubuntu is using | 15:15 |
| Ash____ | ._.''' | 15:15 |
| MaRk-I | should burn a more recent one eh | 15:15 |
| Ash____ | i'm sure i have an open suse livecd lying around at home, i might drive and grab that | 15:15 |
| rmrfslash | I did this once before but forgot.... how much space does a basic Ubuntu Server consume? | 15:15 |
| _spm_Draget | bazhang: And stop being an annoying irc-troll | 15:15 |
| bazhang | user1_, you've been on this a couple of days; this is a flash drive 256GB , correct? | 15:15 |
| Ash____ | i would, i'll remember that next time the CD Drive's working :P | 15:16 |
| user1_ | bazhang: yes. | 15:16 |
| bazhang | _spm_Draget, that is not necessary. chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please | 15:16 |
| bazhang | user1_, and the issue is that it won't show up at all when you insert it into your usb port? | 15:17 |
| MaRk-I | Ash____: burn it to a usb, just hope the pc has more than one usb port :P | 15:17 |
| user1_ | bazhang: the issue was it does not retain data when remounted. | 15:18 |
| Ash____ | this is so long winded, hah. oh man, damn sentimental photo values D:< | 15:18 |
| user7 | pollo | 15:18 |
| user1_ | bazhang : and i ran a dd zero as willis suggested | 15:18 |

| bazhang | whoops sorry user7 | 15:18 |
| user1_ | bazhang : no | 15:18 |
| user1_ | bazhang : or how do we check it | 15:19 |
| Ash____ | eh, i'm just going to drive home and grab the Open SUSE disc. i'm fairly sure i have another (newer) ubuntu disc, too, so i'll have a look for that | 15:19 |
| Ash____ | back in about 10. | 15:19 |

| === Adam-Shopp is now known as AdamSewell | ||
| s3r3n1t7_ | Vaevictus, what was that box doing? Anything out of the ordinary? What was it used for? | 15:41 |
| Vaevictus | it was a production web server, so there were several boxes | 15:41 |
| Vaevictus | er ... processes | 15:41 |
| Vaevictus | nothing out of the ordinary, as far as i can tell | 15:41 |
| image_q | did you use killall? | 15:41 |
| AnxiousNut | image_q, killall process_name | 15:42 |
| s3r3n1t7_ | Vaevictus, webserver ... with? php, java, html? Did you install something not in the repo? | 15:42 |
| image_q | maybe killall -u root? | 15:42 |
| eoke | wookienz: Can you also paste bin your sources /etc/apt/sources.list | 15:42 |
| iflema | wookienz is that supposed to be down... because its not....... | 15:42 |
| AnxiousNut | what does "Current status: 1 update [-126]" after upgrading using aptitude safe-upgrade mean? | 15:42 |
| wookienz | iflema: ? | 15:43 |
| Vaevictus | image_q: if you're talking to me, ther ewas no-one logged into the box at the time... i was asleep and i'm the only root user. | 15:43 |
| s3r3n1t7_ | AnxiousNut, that there still is 1 update waiting to be installed, which is likely depending on another. | 15:43 |
| AnxiousNut | s3r3n1t7_, okay then what's up with the -126? | 15:43 |
| Vaevictus | s3r3n1t7_: php and apache2 mostly. no java iirc, no installs outside of the repo in kernel or root user space | 15:43 |
| arvind_khadri | AnxiousNut, that 126 updates have been done | 15:43 |
| s3r3n1t7_ | AnxiousNut, it's the exit code. There's a whole bunch of them, this one indicating there's still something waiting. | 15:44 |
| wookienz | http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/unBw7cwb | 15:44 |
| Vaevictus | s3r3n1t7_: it's also behind a pix, and shouldn't have received any traffic other than via apache2, so remote exploit seems unlikely. | 15:44 |
| s3r3n1t7_ | Vaevictus, hmm, that's odd. Can you check the webserver logs if something went wrong? If i remember correctly the kernel should also store a log somewhere in case of a crash, let me see if i can find where. | 15:44 |
| === CloneA is now known as xMopx | ||
| Vaevictus | s3r3n1t7_: i will look there | 15:44 |
| AnxiousNut | s3r3n1t7_, do you know for what reason it didnt install the remaining update? | 15:45 |
| ohir | Vaevictus: first check if your installed web stuff has no countrywiede holes (as recently Wordpress had ie). | 15:45 |
| Vaevictus | ohir: ... you think a wordpress install could crash the linux kernel? | 15:45 |
| AnxiousNut | arvind_khadri, then can you please tell me why there is a minus sign next to the number? | 15:45 |

| cronicded | Greetings, curious if anyone is familiar with a problem with padlock-sha.ko loading on kernel boot? I've read several older and more recent BUG reports in regard to the kernel module not loading. However, in most cases individuals reporting the system works normally and it seems they're able to access their device. In my case, I am not. | 15:56 |
| cronicded | Specifically, I'm running Lucid and have tried several different kernel iterations via INSTALL CD repair/recovery shell | 15:57 |
| cronicded | In my case, the device comes up on the network, but I am unable to SSH or access a console terminal to it. The system hangs just after a message similar to: "modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting padlock_sha (/lib/modules/2.6.32-21-server/kernel/drivers/crypto/padlock-sha.ko): No such device". I have tried alias'ing sha256 and aes as suggested in reports, as well as blacklisting the module entirely. When doing so, the system seems to still hang, as it i | 15:57 |

| Vaevictus | which may be due to the fact that stuff was being killed off | 15:59 |

| wookienz | what MB/s should you see copying from one HDD to another HDD on the same system using SATAII? | 15:59 |
| s3r3n1t7_ | Vaevictus, and the kernel messages? Those should be in /var/log/messages | 15:59 |
| beppo | i have a dell perc6 and lucid | 15:59 |
| eoke | wookienz: As far as I can gather the solution was/is to recompile that package from source and then perform an update. However I can understand you might not be comfortable with that and in honesty I'd do it on my own machine but I'm not comfortable enough to guide you through it on your machine. | 16:00 |
| Vaevictus | s3r3n1t7_: no sign of them there in vl/messages | 16:00 |

| s3r3n1t7_ | Vaevictus, does the server do anything special around the time of the crash? | 16:00 |
| abhi_nav_ | beppo, yes? | 16:00 |
| Vaevictus | s3r3n1t7_: nope, not even a blip around the crash time | 16:00 |

| ohir | Vaevictus: I think that exp_loit that rode in on Wordpress back might at ro_otkit install time | 16:01 |
| s3r3n1t7_ | Vaevictus, hmm ... very odd ... i don't suppose you've set logrotate on the kernel messages? | 16:01 |
| ohir | Vaevictus: spurious oops and panic usually is either because of falling hardware or bad (unfitted) expl_oit code | 16:01 |
| ohir | Vaevictus: former being most popular though (unless you and your domain are quite known) | 16:01 |
| ohir | Vaevictus: so, yes. Your panic could be effect of roo_tkitting your box | 16:02 |
| s3r3n1t7_ | ohir, why are you using so many _ in those words? It's not cursing ... you're helping someone ... | 16:02 |
| Vaevictus | ohir: yeah, i'd agree, except the panic wasn't a process: the kernel killed off all processes and still crashed. | 16:02 |
| tyrosine | test | 16:02 |
| s3r3n1t7_ | Vaevictus, i'd advise checking the software you have running for some updates | 16:02 |

| geekbuntu | anyone know how i can compress a file and have it be password protected? (tia) | 16:03 |
| s3r3n1t7_ | Vaevictus, i didn't say upgrade immediately, but there maybe a security leak detected in one of the pieces of software you have running which could have been exploited | 16:04 |
| eoke | wookienz: I've found a copy at ftp://ftp.cwru.edu/pub/bash/readline-6.1.tar.gz but I'm not sure if it's the best place from which to get it. | 16:04 |
| Vaevictus | s3r3n1t7_: aye, true. | 16:04 |
| wookienz | eoke: got one, ran ./configure, and make, looks all fine... now what? | 16:04 |

| abhi_nav | geekbuntu, hmm | 16:05 |
| geekbuntu | abhi_nav: hopefully command line :) | 16:05 |
| ohir_ | bazhang: did you notice the asterisks? didn't you? | 16:05 |

| abhi_nav | ok | 16:05 |
| zeal__ | can anybody help me with DEB creation??? | 16:05 |

| bazhang | ohir_, its still not acceptable. thanks for keeping it family friendly here | 16:06 |
| marcuy | how can I know on what channel or device is the sound output (hw or /dev/dsp..?) | 16:06 |
| ohir_ | bazhang: yes, you're right. | 16:06 |
| s3r3n1t7_ | Vaevictus, apt-get update <= checks for avaiable updates, upgrade does an upgrade. So update doesn't change, upgrade does. | 16:06 |

| geekbuntu | abhi_nav: the plan is to use python to compress a list of files i want to store, then a cron job to lock it up, then back it up to our works svn server (just don't want my lnks/email etc sitting out there wide open) | 16:09 |

| s3r3n1t7_ | Vaevictus, you're welcome. I got to go in 10min as well. Best of luck! | 16:12 |
| Vaevictus | ohir: cheers! ty! | 16:12 |
| ohir | Vaevictus: if you have that plenty vulnerable binaries in place I would suggest that you should set this box anew | 16:12 |
| Vaevictus | we'll see if it doesn't happen again. ;_; | 16:12 |
| Vaevictus | "set this box anew" ? | 16:13 |
| s3r3n1t7_ | ohir, having available updates does not mean vulnerable binaries in place. Please refrain from scaring people that way. | 16:13 |
| ohir | Vaevictus: you do not know if someone who was getting your box succeded. Safer is to assume he or she did | 16:13 |
| Vaevictus | and i'm still not convinced wordpress /could/ crash the linux kernel | 16:13 |
| Vaevictus | ohir: you're suggesting a format and reinstall? | 16:14 |
| Vaevictus | just to be clear? | 16:14 |
| drew212 | Why/how would i get a disk boot failure if I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04? | 16:14 |
| ohir | s3r3n1t7_: having avaliable updates means exactly that _not_ patched bineries _were_ on box when kernel panicked | 16:14 |
| ohir | Vaevictus: yes | 16:14 |
| ohir | s3r3n1t7_: the more that its 8.04. I have a few boxes running 8.04 and had not one kernel panic to date | 16:15 |
| s3r3n1t7_ | ohir, and why do you assume they are vulnerable? Is the only reason to release an update to patch a hole? We're not using M$ you know ... And going from your assumption, you can best hide in a box and not talk to anyone. Who knows, your food and water might be poisoned. | 16:15 |
| ohir | s3r3n1t7_: have you read SA for sudo? What it was? | 16:16 |
| drew212 | Why/how would i get a disk boot failure if I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04? | 16:16 |
| s3r3n1t7_ | ohir, SA? | 16:16 |
| funkyHat | s3r3n1t7_: saying "M$" just makes you look childish, and actually the main reason for updates to a stable version of Ubuntu or Debian is security patches. However I still wouldn't be quite as paranoid as ohir ;) | 16:17 |
| ohir | s3r3n1t7_: rule of thumb is that if you may assume your box is pwned and you are not sure, you have to pay your price for not updating in time | 16:17 |
| s3r3n1t7_ | ohir, I do not see a reason why his box would be pwnd. I would investigate first and make conclusions later. | 16:17 |
| ohir | s3r3n1t7_: Security Advisory. That piece of ascii that comes with patches and updates. Stating reason for update. | 16:18 |
| IdleOne | I think as interesting as this convo is it should be moved to #ubuntu-offtopic | 16:18 |
| barfster | How can I copy from one disk to another and still have a bootable system? | 16:18 |
| s3r3n1t7_ | funkyHat, I'm only typing M$ because 1. you have to pay for it and 2. It' easier then typing Microsoft. No reason to be childish or anything. | 16:18 |
| abhi_nav | barfster, you want to copy whole system? | 16:18 |
| ohir | s3r3n1t7_: but you may not, nor can I. So for his side of the story its safer to assume box was pwnd. And do it again. | 16:18 |
| barfster | like dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc | 16:19 |
| barfster | But is that good enough? | 16:19 |
| s3r3n1t7_ | IdleOne, funkyHat, ohir, We obviously disagree with each other on some parts. Let's conclude it at that. agreed? | 16:19 |
| funkyHat | barfster: yes that is enough. but be *very* *very* careful you get the input and output the right way around | 16:19 |
| IdleOne | s3r3n1t7: I have no opinion on the subject I just think it is out off scope for #ubuntu | 16:19 |
| barfster | But will it be bootable? | 16:19 |
| funkyHat | barfster: yes | 16:20 |
| ohir | Vaevictus: my advice is to do box anew. And have it updated next time :) | 16:20 |
| ohir | s3r3n1t7_: ok. EOT. | 16:20 |
| barfster | Or will I have to change IDE sequence? | 16:20 |
| barfster | Will this work on a running system? | 16:20 |
| funkyHat | barfster: you're copying from one disc to another and then leaving both discs in the same computer? You might have to change the boot order in the bios | 16:20 |

| abhi_nav | anyone teach me how to use date command to convert utc to my local time? | 17:08 |
| Spamicles | LJRuff, is it possible my screen alignment is bad and im not seeing menu options or something? | 17:08 |
| LJRuff | Spamicles, it should not be. Did you check the md5sum of the .iso you downloaded and burned? | 17:08 |
| Spamicles | LJRuff, nope. i got it from the official ubuntu site about 10 min ago. | 17:08 |
| erUSUL | Guest59590: are they empty? | 17:09 |
| Mwen____ | thanks | 17:09 |
| abhi_nav | LJRuff, can you teache me to use date command? | 17:09 |
| LJRuff | Spamicles, always check the md5sum even if it comes from a trusted source. The download might have been corrupted. | 17:09 |
| Guest59590 | erUSUL, no they are not, but i cannot say what the content means | 17:09 |
| LJRuff | abhi_nav, man <command> to learn all about it. It's the Hacker Way. Learn it. Love it. =) | 17:10 |

| erUSUL | Guest59590: a normal text file? | 17:11 |
| Spamicles | LJRuff, would a corrupt install boot? | 17:11 |
| LJRuff | Spamicles, I'd recommend downloading another .iso, running a checksum (you *need* to do this. We *cannot* help you or verify the authenticity of the image unless you check it!!!) and then burning it as slowly as your software/hardware will allow. | 17:11 |
| Guest59590 | erUSUL, yes it's readable text, but does not say much to me | 17:11 |
| LJRuff | Spamicles, it might - it depends on what is corrupted and what isn't. | 17:11 |

| LJRuff | FabParma, well you can always load the icons manually. Run << which <command >> to find out the command's path, then right click on the Applications menu, choose Edit Menus, then create new launchers where the command is the path to the command in bash. | 17:18 |
| sebsebseb | AhmedBH: Why dual boot two Lucid installs? | 17:18 |
| sebsebseb | AhmedBH: also you want a seperate /home really, to share between the same version or differnet versions of Ubuntu, or other Linux distros even | 17:19 |
| AhmedBH | sebsbseb: Good question, just i have GURB on 2nd and thats why because i am learning it so i dont wanna lose bootup so easily how ever so if i lose the boot up from the first i still will have GRUB on second so i can easily move up on second muhahah:P | 17:19 |

I know for a fact that it does work with 9.10 server out-of-the-box, but I've installed the card _after_ installing Ubuntu. The card shows up when I run lspci and lshw -class network, but for the latter, it says "DISABLED" next to the card name, and the device doesn't show up with ifconfig. | 17:31 |
| abhi_nav | ahhhh i just pressed alt + l & it cleared my xchat log | 17:32 |
| abhi_nav | :( | 17:32 |
| Q-Tipped | sebsebseb yeah, i'm a bigger fan of 9.04 that 10.04 :P i'll try, i can download it on the livecd and then put it on a USB Drive, right? | 17:32 |
| FabParma | Does Ubuntu or some application to rebuild/refresh the *applications menu links*? At the moment I missing many in my menu, to use them I need to launch via console or manually create link. It is so uncomfortable ;) | 17:32 |
| sebsebseb | Q-Tipped: yeah I much prefer 9.04 myself, to 9.10 or 10.04, thing is | 17:32 |
| sebsebseb | Q-Tipped: that version will run out of support at the end of October :( | 17:32 |
| soreau | velociostrich: Sounds like it isnt autoloading the appropriate driver for the ethernet card | 17:32 |
| Q-Tipped | sebsebseb well, hopefully the issues with 10 will be cleaned up by then :P | 17:32 |

| velociostrich | soreau: how can I find out if the module is being loaded? It's some kind of 3Com card | 17:33 |
| sebsebseb | Q-Tipped: I have a feeling the Plymouth issues will be well there to stay | 17:33 |
| sebsebseb | Q-Tipped: or at least for quite a while yet | 17:33 |
| velociostrich | soreau: I can get specifics if necessary | 17:33 |
| sebsebseb | Q-Tipped: shame they didn't do Plymouth properly, like Mandriva or Fedora and such. | 17:33 |
| soreau | velociostrich: You need to figure out what linux kernel module supports it, then load the driver with modprobe | 17:33 |
| soreau | velociostrich: You need to figure out what linux kernel module supports it, then load the driver with modprobe <module name> | 17:33 |
| Q-Tipped | sebsebseb hm. i haven't followed Ubuntu closely, if i'm honest. i switched to using a modified version of crunchbang a while back. yeah, it's a shame it didn't come out right. ubuntu's a good distro. | 17:33 |
| Njh | hey, I'm trying to mv a file using sudo, but I am getting "no tty present and no askpass program specified", anyone know how to fix this? | 17:34 |
| sebsebseb | Q-Tipped: from a blueprint I read for 10.10 though, it seems they may be fixing it a bit for that one, I hope so :) | 17:34 |
| Lim0n | abhi_nav: the default is "<Control>Super_L" i've tried <Alt_L>F1, <F1>Alt_L. none of them bring up the menu :< | 17:34 |
| velociostrich | soreau: will try, thanks | 17:34 |
| === danlock2 is now known as bean | ||
| Q-Tipped | sebsebseb cool :) so, if the partition's still not detected in 9.04, what'd you suggest? | 17:34 |
| abhi_nav | Lim0n, u in xchat too? | 17:34 |
| MaRk-I | Lim0n: just bind the "super" key | 17:34 |
| sebsebseb | Q-Tipped: anyway 9.04 sounds alright, and then you can upgrade to 10.10 when that runs out of support | 17:34 |
| soreau | velociostrich: Try lspci, then google the relevant output for the model etc and search with keyword ubuntu | 17:34 |
| Lim0n | irssi | 17:34 |
| nmvictor | velociostrich: sudo cat /etc/modules, to check if a module is automatically loaded, if not, append the module name to the contents of that file, sudo echo "module_name" >> /etc/modules | 17:35 |
| velociostrich | soreau: do you know the name of that configuration file that says what modules to load? because I have another machine that I could SSH into and see what module it loads -- that's the machine that I borrowed the card from | 17:35 |
| tomatto_ | why run my ubuntu in low graphics mode/failsafe ? why? how to change it to right? | 17:35 |
| soreau | velociostrich: If its a really new model card, it might only be supported in newer kernels | 17:35 |
| abhi_nav | Lim0n, try MaRk-I 's suggestin | 17:35 |
| velociostrich | soreau: no, it's pretty ancient | 17:35 |
| soreau | ok | 17:35 |
| sebsebseb | Q-Tipped: if 9.04 won't detect the hard disk, well I guess there is a hard disk failure or something | 17:35 |
| Lim0n | yeah that works, but i just wanna know how to make a combination bind :\ | 17:35 |
| Lim0n | i dunno the syntax to make them | 17:35 |
| abhi_nav | me too | 17:36 |
| soreau | velociostrich: AFAIK, there is a blacklist for modules but it should autodetect and autoload everything else | 17:36 |
| velociostrich | soreau: *facepalm* I can't SSH into the machine that I borrowed the card from, because it doesn't have a card in it -- d'oh! I'll just have to search for the card with lspci output | 17:36 |
| nmvictor | tomatto_: tampered with your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, if you are using. if not you might need to use it | 17:36 |
| soreau | velociostrich: Right, I was wondering when you said that.. | 17:36 |
| velociostrich | soreau: thanks for the help; I'll try googling | 17:36 |
| tomatto_ | nmvictor: have some xorg.conf for intel graphics card? | 17:36 |
| Q-Tipped | sebsebseb, i don't understand it, though. i mean, the harddrive's working, obviously, because i get an error message saying it can find 'no bootable partitons' during startup. :S | 17:37 |
| tomatto_ | gma950 | 17:37 |
| sebsebseb | Q-Tipped: yes | 17:37 |
| sebsebseb | Q-Tipped: I told you already | 17:37 |
| sebsebseb | Q-Tipped: your install messed up, so it can't boot | 17:37 |
| Q-Tipped | oh, i thought you meant that the hard disk failure means that it would be a hardware error, sebsebseb, sorry. | 17:37 |
| nmvictor | tomatto_: na, only have one in my ibook g4, might help though, let me fire it up and paste it over, wanna have it? | 17:38 |
| tomatto_ | nmvictor: yes i wanna have it | 17:38 |
| julianoliver | hi. i am trying to diagnose why my install of a lightly customised Ubuntu always boots read only. i've remounted it as rw and it works fine and ensured that /etc/fstab has entries identical to my other Ubuntu and debian installs where applicable. any ideas? | 17:39 |
| Slart | julianoliver: nothing weird in the grub boot line? | 17:39 |
| Q-Tipped | sebsebseb, how can i make 9.04 run from a usb stick? i can't use the startup disc maker, because it isn't included in this version. | 17:39 |
| nmvictor | tomatto_: ok, gine my old ibook some time to fire up, its quite old | 17:40 |

| abhi_nav | insider, ubuntu or kubuntu? | 17:43 |
| aeon-ltd | sav: why not run irc as root, besides it being unneccessary/ | 17:43 |
| insider | ubuntu | 17:43 |
| julianoliver | Slart: dmesg is full of output that the file system is read only. nothing in /var/ is written of course. i'll try a full fsck and see where it leads. quite peculiar.. | 17:44 |
| sav | aeon-ltd: because irc clients have bugs. some bugs can be exploited to run arbitrary code. arbitrary code can do harm to your system, specially when this code has special priviledges. | 17:44 |
| aeon-ltd | timemachine3030: well what happens when you try? | 17:44 |
| sav | aeon-ltd: thought it was trivial tho. pretty obvious. | 17:44 |
| aeon-ltd | sav: oh you mean like if someone pm'ed a script | 17:44 |
| timemachine3030 | aeon-ltd, i get redirected to a yahoo 403 error. | 17:44 |
| sav | aeon-ltd: not only. that's naive. but anyway, never mind :) | 17:44 |
| Slart | julianoliver: mm.. it seems odd that it would go read-only without there being some trace of why it does it.. | 17:44 |
| aeon-ltd | timemachine3030: check your dns settings in your browser | 17:44 |

| hotfloppy | lol.. thanks abhi_nav n sebsebseb :P | 17:49 |
| Slart | julianoliver: ah.. didn't think of that | 17:49 |
| aeon-ltd | Q-Tipped: either try the install again, complete it ensuring install bottloader was done or use supergrubdisk | 17:49 |

| sebsebseb | insider: loads of bad stuff can happen to a computer, if it is not kept secure enough! | 17:49 |
| maco2 | aeon-ltd: the problem isnt a lack of bootloader. it's a corrupt partition table | 17:50 |

| kleopatra | hi, i really tried to google it, but didnt find anything useful: How can i set/change env-variables permanently? | 18:01 |
| v0lksman | Dr_Willis, any idea what they are called? | 18:01 |
| insider | maco2: not good for me | 18:01 |
| willz | I installed kde and realized it to be a grave mistake. Now when I wanted to uninstall it - all the packages that came with it isin't removed. I want that. I want it gone. apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop didn't remove them although apt-get install kubuntu-desktop installed em all | 18:01 |
| maco2 | kleopatra: put them in your ~/.profile | 18:01 |
| sebsebseb | maco2: Riddell that names sounds a ltitle familur or something, whos that? also instead of Apple forking KHTML why didn't they just improve it? | 18:01 |
| IdleOne | Spamicles: oh wait, uname -a will show installed system not what your hardware is capable of | 18:01 |
| Dr_Willis | v0lksman: Nope. I use my laptop keys. use the seardh feature of synaptic | 18:01 |
| pm2 | Hi - I have one ATI and one nVidia video card. I want to setup a dual monitor setup - is this possible, or do I need two cards of the same type? | 18:01 |
| Spamicles | IdleOne, well the live disk im running is 32 bit but im trying to find out if the processor is 64 bit so i can install 64 | 18:02 |
| Spamicles | IdleOne, yeah =] | 18:02 |
| insider | maco2: and the same issue on dolphin | 18:02 |
| v0lksman | Dr_Willis, yeah I assume this is a weird issue not experienced by many...I've never had it happen before and I've done that same thing many times... | 18:02 |
| Dr_Willis | v0lksman: perhaps go to the console and back.. might kick it in the head | 18:02 |
| sebsebseb | insider: Security matters! | 18:02 |
| v0lksman | Dr_Willis, will try...thx | 18:02 |
| sebsebseb | insider: so you should upgrade Ubuntu to at least 9.04 as I said before | 18:02 |
| Dr_Willis | v0lksman: or go to the screensaver settings and 'test' out a few of them. :) | 18:02 |
| maco2 | sebsebseb: he's the kde developer who said that if canonical didnt have a kde person hacking away yet, he's available, and thus started kubuntu | 18:02 |
| insider | sebsebseb: i'll wait for 10.10 | 18:02 |
| sebsebseb | maco2: oh | 18:02 |
| IdleOne | Spamicles: lshw perhaps | 18:03 |
| insider | people say it would be awsome | 18:03 |
| willz | how to remove all the sucky programs that came with kubuntu-desktop? | 18:03 |
| maco2 | sebsebseb: "why didnt apple give patches back to us instead of forking?" is a common complaint among kde devs ;-) i think the answer is "because apple is a bad open source citizen" | 18:03 |
| sebsebseb | insider: by the time 10.10 comes out, something rather malicious might have happended to your 8.10 install, security updates are there for a reason | 18:03 |
| Q-Tipped | iflema i have no idea why it's not being detected, the HDD's obviously still working because it pulls an error on booting. | 18:03 |

| jagosix | AGAIN ... does anyone here know how to cancel print jobs | 18:04 |
| insider | sebsebseb: i will use firewall | 18:04 |
| tomatto_ | maco2: what do you mean by that? | 18:04 |
| iflema | Q-Tipped try sudo fdisk /dev/hdb or sudo fdisk /dev/sdb | 18:04 |
| sebsebseb | insider: Firewall does not protect you against security bugs in the OS | 18:04 |
| jagosix | i'm wasting paper | 18:04 |
| jagosix | and toner | 18:04 |
| Spamicles | IdleOne, width:64 bits of logical:cpu0 and logialcpu:1 ? | 18:04 |
| Dr_Willis | jagosix: 'lpq' command, of the gnome print manager tool. or the cups web interface. http://localhost:631 | 18:04 |
| Slart | jagosix: there is a printer-queue-thingy that shows up in the task tray when you print | 18:04 |
| Spamicles | IdleOne, so im guessing 64? =] | 18:04 |
| aeon-ltd | jagosix: kill cups? | 18:04 |
| maco2 | jagosix: there should be a little printer show up in your tray when printing is happening. can cancel it there | 18:04 |
| IdleOne | Spamicles: yup | 18:04 |
| insider | sebsebseb: but it can block any ip or not? | 18:04 |
| maco2 | jagosix: should also be a button on your printer to cancel | 18:04 |
| sebsebseb | maco2: indeed they basically took a load of open source, put lip stick on it, and sold to the general public, :D | 18:04 |
| maco2 | jagosix: and if you're really stuck, you can unplug the printer :P | 18:05 |
| Slart | jagosix: but if the job is already sent to the printer that won't do much.. you'll have to go over to the printer and cancel the job there. | 18:05 |
| insider | any range of port i want | 18:05 |
| nmvictor | tomatto_: well you had better found you driver through google or ask in this channel, the rest of the setting might work though, are you using lucid lynx? | 18:05 |
| maco2 | tomatto_: what do i mean by what? | 18:05 |
| Spamicles | IdleOne, ive been away from linux for awhile. does wine do any better with emulation, or are there any open source programs like vmware? | 18:05 |
| Q-Tipped | iflema still not working. | 18:05 |
| === thoffmeyer|AFK is now known as thoffmeyer | ||
| Pici | jagosix: Depends how you printed it. If you used lp, use the 'cancel' command, it has its own manpage, check it out. | 18:05 |
| maco2 | Spamicles: Wine Is Not an Emulator | 18:05 |
| tomatto_ | nmvictor: yes, lucid lynx | 18:05 |
| oxyrosis | are there any programs that i can use to backup my bookmarks from firefox without actually opening firefox? | 18:05 |

| === casey_ is now known as casey | ||
| jagosix | thanks fellas.. I'll give it a try | 18:06 |
| Slart | jagosix: this of course, is assuming you use regular ubuntu and printed using the regular gui tools.. otherwise it might not work | 18:06 |
| Dr_Willis | oxyrosis: the bookmarks are in a single file I recall in teh .mozilla/XXXXXXXX directory. so youi could just backup that file | 18:06 |
| jagosix | well.. i just logged into the cups web interface | 18:06 |
| oxyrosis | sweet, thanks | 18:06 |
| sebsebseb | insider: and you can have all your ports closed, and still get a security issue, if your OS doesn't have all the security updates, and is Internet connected. | 18:06 |
| antivirtel | aeon-ltd there is no ./configure ... what is it? :O | 18:06 |
| Q-Tipped | iflema what now? | 18:06 |
| Dr_Willis | lpq has worked for me - with jobs printed from the gui. | 18:06 |
| iflema | Q-Tipped and you say sudo fdisk -l fails? I cant think... well all thats comming is gparted live-cd | 18:06 |
| Dr_Willis | lp, lprm, and a few other lpXXX tools :) | 18:07 |
| insider | sebsebseb: i agree with you but i preffer old stuff and i use two operating systems and do not have some credit card info on my hard drive) | 18:07 |
| Q-Tipped | iflema sudo fdisk -l doesn't fail, it just doesn't do anything. | 18:07 |

| maco2 | tomatto_: intel has worked out of the box as long as ive used linux (4 years). has had 3D AIGLX to make Compiz go since 6.10. i can recall only one case where it didnt, and that was a bug where intel put a new chipset number under the same model name and a single line had to be added to the kernel to fix it | 18:07 |
| iflema | Q-Tipped with the sudo it fails? | 18:07 |
| sebsebseb | insider: well Debian Stable is rather old :) also as I told you earlier 9.04 is very much so like 8.10 really | 18:07 |
| Dr_Willis | tomatto_: i saw today where intel has released some updated intel drivers. :) | 18:07 |
| Q-Tipped | iflema sudo fdisk -l doesn't do anything, yeah | 18:07 |
| insider | 8.04 is still updatable? | 18:07 |
| Q-Tipped | iflema i don't need to do anything like sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda, do i? | 18:08 |
| sebsebseb | insider: ah yes 8.04 I kind of forgot about that one | 18:08 |
| sebsebseb | insider: yes 8.04, that is still supported untill April next year | 18:08 |

| maco2 | tomatto_: so i find it quite odd for intel graphics to end up in low graphics mode. unless i suppose if you have a second graphics card installed but are trying to use the onboard and its getting confused... | 18:08 |
| insider | sebsebseb: maybe downgrade? ))) | 18:08 |

| abhi_nav | !lucid > HexLaTor | 18:08 |
| ubottu | HexLaTor, please see my private message | 18:08 |
| sebsebseb | insider: yes sounds good to me, since you want to be using older stuff, and it will still be supported for quite a bit longer yet | 18:08 |
| HexLaTor | abhi_nav, lol | 18:08 |
| abhi_nav | :D | 18:08 |
| antivirtel | aeon-ltd I said it before, I thook this isnt a source code... | 18:08 |
| jolaren | anyone? | 18:09 |
| IdleOne | jolaren: sound is muted | 18:09 |
| nmvictor | how about google, | 18:09 |
| tomatto_ | maco2: gnome runs in low-graphics mode. | 18:09 |
| jolaren | IdleOne: is it? how can I unmute it? I've tried hotkeys alt f8 without success | 18:09 |
| aeon-ltd | antivirtel: thook? | 18:09 |
| nmvictor | tomatto_: lucid does not much require an xorg.conf unless its really needed like you case and my ibooks case, how about google? | 18:09 |
| sebsebseb | insider: I was thinking upgrade, upgrade, and didn't think that actsually you can downgrade to 8.04, but you will have to clean install to do that. | 18:09 |
| Q-Tipped | iflema but yeah, either way 'sudo fdisk -l' doesn't do anything and 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda' doesn't do anything. doesn't call back an error, it just doesn't do anything | 18:09 |
| sebsebseb | !downgrade | insider | 18:09 |
| ubottu | insider: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. | 18:09 |
| maco2 | tomatto_: yeah....sounds like a bug to me. that shouldnt happen with intel graphics | 18:09 |
| IdleOne | jolaren: click on the speaker icon and unmute | 18:09 |
| h00k | Jordan_U: click on the sound indicator and click the top unmute option | 18:09 |

| insider | and when i'm upgrading isn't it like clean install? | 18:12 |

| insider | i'm always using root | 18:14 |
| h00k | insider: then you're probably not running Ubuntu. | 18:14 |
| sebsebseb | insider: Gnome 3 is coming, Gnome 2 is on its way out. if you do upgrade to 8.04 though, when that runs out of support, you could upgrade directly to 10.04, and then run Gnome 2 for another year. Since you want older stuff. | 18:14 |
| aeon-ltd | insider: just like chuck norris | 18:14 |
| sebsebseb | insider: also you shoudn't run a root account in Ubuntu | 18:15 |
| sebsebseb | h00k: hes on 8.10 | 18:15 |
| sebsebseb | h00k: and doesn't care much about security it seems | 18:15 |
| h00k | insider: If you are, install upgrade-manager and upgrade to a supported version. | 18:15 |
| sebsebseb | insider: downgrade not upgrade, above | 18:15 |
| insider | sebsebseb: i preffer KDE 3.5 | 18:15 |

| Q-Tipped | right guys, i've got a big problem. earlier on i tried to install Ubuntu 9.04 from a live cd, and half way through there was a powercut. when the power came back, i tried to boot into windows and i got a message saying 'no bootable partition detected'. i imagine this is because the installer messed up, so i booted up the live cd and tried to run through the install again, only for it to fail because 'no root filesystem is defined', and | 18:16 |
| sebsebseb | Pici: see above :) | 18:16 |
| Pici | sebsebseb: roger that. | 18:16 |
| insider | h00k: ok i'll try | 18:16 |
| Q-Tipped | anyone know what i can do? :/ | 18:16 |
| abhi_nav | but why older stuff? | 18:16 |
| h00k | insider: also, we don't support running as root. | 18:16 |
| sebsebseb | insider: ok you like KDE 3.5 well more good news then :) | 18:16 |
| sebsebseb | insider: 8.04 still has it in the repo :) and theres also a project that is keeping it alive for later versions of Ubuntu and such | 18:17 |
| Q-Tipped | anyone? | 18:17 |
| iflema | Q-Tipped its not looking good.... Id try gparted. either on a current version (livecd) or gparted live | 18:17 |

| Q-Tipped | iflema, can i use g-parted in 9.04? | 18:18 |

| bazhang | sebsebseb, so its offtopic (not supported) | 18:20 |
| insider | don't matter my 8.10, let's imagine i have 10.10 with kde 3.5 | 18:21 |
| * hotfloppy dont like kDE.. dont know whats the reason :P | 18:21 | |
| antivirtel | <aeon-ltd> +antivirtel: doesn't the deb just work <-- how ?? | 18:21 |
| sebsebseb | bazhang: actsaully supporting it in here would be yes, but first we told him to upgrade, then after he told us he wanted older stuff, the talk changed to going back to 8.04 with a clean install :) | 18:21 |

| Baelgrer | could anyone help me out? | 18:25 |
| d7777777 | The backspace key is too far... | 18:25 |

| sebsebseb | Baelgrer: have you got the data from WIndows? | 18:26 |
| Baelgrer | sebsebseb no, i can't get into windows. | 18:26 |
| sebsebseb | Baelgrer: right well don't install Ubuntu not yet | 18:26 |
| sebsebseb | Baelgrer: you don't want the data on your hard disk to get over written by something | 18:26 |
| insider | sebsebseb: if i update to 9.04 would it use gnome? | 18:26 |
| bazhang | insider, yes | 18:27 |

| Matt1 | Does anyone know a good playlist alternative to Itunes Genius playlists? | 18:27 |
| bazhang | insider, if you are on gnome now. if not then no | 18:27 |
| insider | bazhang: can skip some versions and upgrade to 10? | 18:27 |
| Baelgrer | does anyone have any suggestions? | 18:27 |
| bazhang | insider, fresh install | 18:27 |
| sebsebseb | insider: no to upgrade to 10.04, you would have to go through 9.04 and 9.10 first | 18:27 |
| hotfloppy | nomike: on second thought, that might be not the correct answer.. sory.. | 18:27 |

| tarrant | nomike: it is pretty gheto but 'find ./ -type l -print | xargs ls -l {} | grep' will find all symlinks print what they link to and them filter by the file you want. | 18:28 |

| MaRk-I | Baelgrer: are you ash____? | 18:29 |
| nomike | hotfloppy: normally yes. but I'm in a hurry and need to get to an appointment.. | 18:29 |
| FabParma | Does Ubuntu or some application to rebuild/refresh the *applications menu tree links*? At the moment I missing many in my menu, to use them I need to launch via console or manually create link. It is so uncomfortable ;) | 18:29 |
| hotfloppy | nomike: thats okay.. :) | 18:29 |
| Baelgrer | Mark-I i may be. however, to avoid laughter i'm going to say no. >__> | 18:30 |

| MaRk-I | lol ok | 18:30 |
| sebsebseb | insider: someone who is kind of famous in the Ubuntu channels, told me about three weeks ago, that he is still doing 8.04 with KDE 3.5. So if its good enough for him still, it should be good enough for you :) | 18:30 |
| insider | sebsebseb: :) | 18:30 |

| IdleOne | FabParma: right click on Applications > Edit menus | 18:30 |
| MaRk-I | Baelgrer: need a new HD eh | 18:31 |
| Baelgrer | Mark-I i don't think the HD's broke, because it's still responsive. when I try to boot up it gives me the error 'no bootable partiton found'. | 18:31 |
| sebsebseb | Baelgrer: right back to you | 18:32 |
| yessir_turan | guys, who sees an xml sort of error when accessing google docs using google cl? | 18:32 |
| === sean_ is now known as seanpatrick | ||
| MaRk-I | well fireup gparted and see if you can format it | 18:32 |
| sebsebseb | Baelgrer: so you deleted Windows? and now no partition on the computer? no OS? | 18:32 |
| tyler_d1 | trying to get 2 statics to work on ubuntu 10.04 through /etc/network/interfaces | 18:32 |
| Baelgrer | but, when i attempt to install Ubuntu i get an error that 'no root filesystem's defined', and I can't define one because there is nothing to select. | 18:32 |
| insider | is there some disk clean up tools for ubuntu? | 18:32 |
| tyler_d1 | only one or the other works... not both | 18:32 |
| Maletor | How do I use compiz to map my horizontal scroll to browser back and forward buttons? | 18:32 |
| sebsebseb | insider: bleachbit | 18:32 |
| Baelgrer | Mark-I so yeah, I think I''ve really messed up the partitions | 18:32 |
| MaRk-I | Baelgrer: sudo apt-get install gparted | 18:33 |
| sebsebseb | insider: and maybe Ubuntu Tweak has something useful, altough that isn't exactly supported in here | 18:33 |
| insider | sebsebseb: aha | 18:33 |
| Baelgrer | s'installed. | 18:33 |
| sebsebseb | insider: disk cleaning? what do you want to clean? its Ubuntu not WIndows | 18:33 |
| IdleOne | sebsebseb: So how about we stop offering "not exactly supported" apps in here | 18:33 |
| sebsebseb | insider: there isn't a need to disk defrag and what not | 18:33 |
| soreau | Maletor: That would be something you setup in the browser, if it supports that feature. Compiz cant just push buttons, however there is xdotool.. | 18:33 |
| MaRk-I | Baelgrer: gparted doesnt detect the hd? | 18:34 |
| Baelgrer | Mark-I when i run gparted, everything's greyed out, and refreshing devices brings nothing. | 18:34 |
| MaRk-I | or any partition at all? | 18:34 |
| insider | some disk cached files | 18:34 |
| Baelgrer | Mark-I none :/ | 18:34 |
| sebsebseb | IdleOne: Ubuntu Tweak is popular, but 3rd party app I meant, and I haven't seen people give support for it in here before or not that I remember anyway, hence what I put | 18:34 |
| MaRk-I | oops | 18:34 |
| rical | anyone using gtmess? | 18:35 |
| Baelgrer | mark-i so, what'd you think? | 18:35 |
| sebsebseb | insider: and yeah its not in the repo | 18:35 |
| MaRk-I | Baelgrer: but while ago you said you could change the partitions to bootable... odd | 18:35 |
| Baelgrer | mark-i, yeah, i know. then i used testdisk and everything changed. | 18:36 |
| Baelgrer | mark-i, so i'm not quite sure what i did, but somehow i've messed it up >_> | 18:36 |
| sebsebseb | Baelgrer: don't put Ubuntu on yet, get hold of your data first | 18:36 |
| MaRk-I | Baelgrer: but you were supposed to use photorec | 18:36 |
| Baelgrer | sebsebseb i can't do anything >_> | 18:36 |
| sebsebseb | Baelgrer: you can install testdisk from repo onto Live CD of Ubuntu, but that will be an older version, and they have their own CD | 18:36 |

| sebsebseb | Baelgrer: testdisk also seems to only work with partitions that have actasully been deleted, well last time I tried it and such anwyay | 18:37 |
| der | hallo | 18:37 |
| Baelgrer | mark-i followed the guide someone sent, it said about copying files using testdisk. | 18:37 |
| Lim0n | abhi_nav: the syntax is <first_key>other_key | 18:37 |
| patch-tag | also what is the big picture here? Is lucid using upstart or init? Where is the best documentation? | 18:37 |
| Baelgrer | mark-i not going to lie, i have no idea what's happened. all i know is that earlier on, i could change the partitions to bootable, primary, etc., and now after using testdisk they've disappeared. | 18:38 |
| abhi_nav | Lim0n, ok | 18:38 |

| lucas-arg | whats the major 100% gnu/linux distro? | 18:41 |
| Baelgrer | mark-i iflema that is what really happened D: i was trying to recover files from a broken windows install, someone suggested testdisk/photorec so i downloaded/installed that. after that, i booted up testdisk and followed the guide as closely as possible (the version had change, and so had its layout) so i had to guess a few things, i got to the same end as the guide, though. after that, it told me to restart for changes to take effect | 18:42 |

| Baelgrer | mark-i iflema wouldn't boot and still gave the same error ('no bootable partition detected') and so i tried to install ubuntu 9.04 via the live cd, when GParted couldn't detect anything i thought 'WHOOPS' and rejoined this channel | 18:43 |

| HydroUK | everything is slow cant fetch a file from apache @ over 1.4MBps | 19:05 |

| bihari | but i will try | 19:07 |

| Ash | mark-i yeah, i guessed it probably would be. oh well :/ | 19:08 |

| HydroUK | eek ok just noticed that in topic tbh sorry | 19:08 |
| IdleOne | HydroUK: no worries | 19:09 |
| Kyle__ | borwar: On the ubuntu site. They have the standard images, and the alternate images. | 19:09 |

| bihari | are you going to give me or not | 19:09 |
| borwar | Kyle__: Like netbook edition? | 19:09 |

| rhl | thanks guys :) | 19:11 |
| bazhang | rhl, you may wish to install irssi or xchat | 19:12 |
| Slart | nyu: sometimes that's the easiest way out.. if you're just looking for something simple most of the cheap usb audio cards work out of the box | 19:12 |
| rhl | has xchat | 19:12 |
| rhl | want to start empathy in fluxbox | 19:12 |
| Kyle__ | borwar: Ya know what, I'm reading those instructions, and I say just try it with the image you have, and your 1-gig stick. The worst that can happen is you need to reformat the stick! | 19:12 |
| nyu | eh, i got a box full of pci cards somewhere | 19:12 |
| nyu | i just hate shutting down, heh | 19:13 |

| tarvid | Neither "Display" nor "Screen resolution" appears in my System - Preferences Menu | 19:14 |
| tarvid | Lucid | 19:14 |
| sanguisdex | I should have said merging | 19:14 |
| Slart | tarvid: I think it's called "Monitors" in lucid | 19:14 |
| sanguisdex | I will talk to jammie to see what I can do | 19:14 |
| Kyle__ | sanguisdex: If you have the kde compontents installed, maybe Kompare. Look at the screenshots on wikipedia. It's pretty damn slick. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kompare | 19:15 |
| tarvid | Slart, Thanks that works | 19:15 |
| sanguisdex | Kyle__: thanks trying to avoid laong k libs on my machine | 19:15 |
| janisozaur | in svn I can "svn log -r BASE:HEAD", it shows the commit logs between what I have locally and what server has. how can I achieve the same in bzr? | 19:16 |
| Kyle__ | sanguisdex: I know, but if you really need a good diff/merge tool, kompare is awesome. Generally I use the one built into netbeans, but it's not as nice. | 19:16 |

| trojan_spike | bihari :: what the problem?? | 19:20 |
| chalcedony | http://www.pastebin.org/384609 i'm on this laptop with vista | 19:20 |
| LJRuff | LorgonJortle, do you have a 64 bit processor? | 19:20 |
| bihari | man but i dont get the answer of my question | 19:20 |
| LorgonJortle | LJRuff: Why shouldn't I be? If I have 6GB of RAM, am I going to be using all of it? | 19:20 |
| bihari | i need new gaychi | 19:20 |
| LorgonJortle | LJRuff: Yeah, I do. | 19:20 |
| bihari | so that i can compile to work for yahoo clints | 19:21 |
| trojan_spike | ?? whats that | 19:21 |
| Slart | LorgonJortle: the only thing that is problematic these days is flash.. since adobe temporarily removed the 64bit flash plugin (for security reasons), you can still run the 32bit plugin with ndiswrapper though | 19:21 |
| LorgonJortle | But last time I installed x64 Ubuntu (like 8.04) I had several problems. | 19:21 |
| LJRuff | LorgonJortle, *if* you have a 64 bit processor then sure - go for it. If you have an x_86 arch and tons of ram you're just lookin' to spend then no. | 19:21 |
| Kyle__ | LorgonJortle: That's a big Q ya know. Do you have more than 4GB of ram? Do you know if you need anything that's 32bit only? | 19:21 |
| trojan_spike | no idea | 19:21 |
| bihari | <MaRk-I> plz give me | 19:21 |
| HydroUK | no ideas? | 19:21 |
| bihari | i will compile it | 19:21 |
| bean | bihari, you're not making any sense. | 19:22 |
| chalcedony | is there someplace or someone to talk to for help with my network connection? http://www.pastebin.org/384609 | 19:22 |
| LJRuff | LorgonJortle, I'd *really* err on the side of x_86 and not the 64 bit unless you're just dead set on it. | 19:22 |
| LorgonJortle | I don't think there's anything I need that's only 32bits. | 19:22 |
| LorgonJortle | I do have a x64 processor, LJRuff. haha | 19:22 |
| Kyle__ | Longhorn: _most_ 32bit stuff works fine on the 64bit install, but not all of it. Then again, some virtualization systems work better if the host is 64bit. If this is a desktop, and you're not sure, I'd go for 32bit. | 19:22 |
| LorgonJortle | Intel Core 2 Quad | 19:22 |
| Kyle__ | LorgonJortle: oops, not Longhorn... | 19:22 |
| chalcedony | LorgonJortle, use the 64 bit - if you hate it change | 19:23 |
| LJRuff | LorgonJortle, kyle_ and I have both told you our thoughts. = / It's your call. | 19:23 |
| Longhorn | :P | 19:23 |
| LJRuff | !sorry | Longhorn | 19:23 |
| ubottu | Longhorn: It's ok, I am only a bot so I cannot stay mad at you. For apologising to humans though, take a read of http://mdzlog.alcor.net/2009/07/20/on-apologies/ | 19:23 |
| bihari | whats is you sens | 19:23 |
| === sebi_` is now known as sebi` | ||
| LorgonJortle | One reason I consider x64 is that I have a x64 Win7 guest (VMWare), and I'd like to be able to give it more than 2GB of RAM. | 19:24 |
| Kyle__ | LorgonJortle: Remember, if you have more than 4GB, you can still use it in a 32bit box, it just won't be as efficient. With 4 cores though, you probably won't notice, unless you're really _really_ pushing the box. | 19:24 |

| Slart | HydroUK: or.. wait.. regular transfers aren't slow? once they've started? | 19:25 |
| Kyle__ | LorgonJortle: Check the virtualbox documentation. You _may_ be able to run a 64bit guest with more than 2gb of ram on a 32bit host. I'm not sure. | 19:25 |
| HydroUK | yup | 19:25 |
| Slart | HydroUK: oh.. sorry. didn't read all the info.. | 19:25 |

| ikthus | hi all | 19:55 |
| Roasted | akiva, for a core Ubuntu installation, I've done it with as little as 10 gig with plenty of extra. What's your goal? | 19:55 |
| MaRk-I | a +b might work on that guy | 19:55 |
| zemeus | on oracle it said the recommended was 8gb, not sure on a standalone | 19:55 |
| akiva | I am in a difficiult situation where I lost my last HD to power surge and now I have a Windows laptop that has a pretty full harddrive and I want to go back to Linux | 19:55 |
| akiva | I thought I read 20 gigs was recommended | 19:55 |
| akiva | But maybe I am wrong | 19:55 |
| Roasted | akiva, well it depends what you are doing. On my laptop, my root partition is only using 5gb, and I have quite a few applications installed. | 19:56 |
| Roasted | akiva, I have root/home separate, though, so my personal stuff is on my home partition. However, the actual OS + programs is on root, and root is 5gb in size. | 19:56 |
| Gumby | on a fairly fresh 10.04 amd64 I am at 3.5GB and up to date | 19:56 |
| Daekdroom | Back when I had 10GB for / and remaining for /home/, I ran into a space problem :P | 19:56 |
| Roasted | akiva, so I guess it depends what your goal is. Do you want to use Ubuntu and that's it? Do you want to have personal documents on this Ubuntu install? Etc. | 19:56 |
| Kyle__ | akiva: You can get away with 4gigs, if you're in a pinch. Maybe look at what's so full on windows? If it's general files/downloads, split that onto it's own partition :) | 19:56 |
| ikthus | any solution for the slow usb transfer bug ? | 19:57 |
| Roasted | Daekdroom, I normally set 15-20gb partition size for root. But like I said, I have a full Ubuntu install on this laptop and 5gb is in use in the root partition. :P | 19:57 |
| Roasted | I always like a little overhead JUST IN CASE... never know. | 19:57 |
| drew212 | is there a way to actively back up my home folder into a separate location on a different HDD in case my current drive fails? | 19:57 |
| Roasted | drew212, there's lots of ways. | 19:57 |
| ikonia | drew212: mount your other harddrive, and copy the data over, it's that simple | 19:58 |
| Roasted | drew212, I personally do that on my desktop at home. I set up an rsync script to run every 12 hours to back my entire home directory up to a different hard drive. | 19:58 |
| akiva | ANyone? | 19:58 |
| drew212 | ikonia: i'm more looking at what roasted is talking about | 19:58 |
| zemeus | Does anyone know much about laptop hardware? | 19:58 |
| Kyle__ | drew212: Like Roasted said, lots of ways. Either write yoruself a backup script, or use backula, or backuppc, or amanda, or any one of the other dozens of backup programs out there. | 19:58 |
| Roasted | drew212, it really depends what you want to do. Do you just want a backup for one time and that's it? If so, copy it over as ikonia suggested. Do you want a more automated backup process? Theres lots of apps for that. | 19:58 |
| h00k | !anyone | zemeus | 19:58 |
| ubottu | zemeus: 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? | 19:58 |
| thune3 | ikthus: what issue are you taking about? | 19:58 |
| drew212 | Roasted: an automated backup | 19:59 |
| ikonia | drew212: it's a good solution | 19:59 |
| ikonia | drew212: the issue with that is your machine has to be on when the crontab runs | 19:59 |
| Gumby | drew212: I can msg you a quick comamnd that will work | 19:59 |
| Roasted | drew212, well, I wrote a script using an rsync command. However, theres a lot of GUI applications that are based on rsync. So it depends which route you want to take - yet both get you to the same destination. | 19:59 |
| Gumby | or I can paste it here... its one line | 19:59 |
| jm_ | anyone able to shed some light on ndiswrapper invalid driver faults? | 19:59 |
| zemeus | Sorry, I figured if someone knew a lot... they would respond, so I wouldn't nag everyone in the room. | 20:00 |
| Roasted | drew212, just keep in mind, if lightning hits that box and fries the hard drives (ALL drives) this backup does nothing. So while I highly recommend doing what you're asking, I still recommend backing up the most important data to an external hard drive or some other form of media. | 20:00 |
| drew212 | Roasted: something with a GUI, but it needs to start on system startup, i don't want to have to remember to turn it on, i forget things easily | 20:00 |
| ikonia | drew212: put it in your rc.local | 20:00 |
| Roasted | drew212, well, I often shut my computer down during the day, but I have my backup run every 12 hours. If it runs at least once every 3 days, I'm happy. So while I shut my system down frequently, it runs frequently enough being its on a 12 hour schedule. | 20:00 |
| Roasted | drew212, you can customize that time frame to anything you want too, by the way. | 20:01 |
| drew212 | Roasted: i have surge protectors, and i'm more looking for something to save to a drive because i frequently reformat and find i'm missing data i need | 20:01 |
| hotfloppy | Gumby: paste it here will ya? sharing is caring :) | 20:01 |
| Roasted | drew212, even still, I've seen motherboards get fried and in turn throw a "surge" at the hard drives - killing them. | 20:01 |
| Gumby | this will back up everything created 24 hours prior to it being run | 20:01 |
| Roasted | drew212, I've seen some WEIRD power failures, even with proper precautions put in place. I'd still recommend some form of backup for the CRUCIAL data. | 20:01 |
| Gumby | find /path/to/source -mtime -1 -type f -exec pax -rw {} /path/to/destination \; | 20:02 |
| ikthus | thune3, was reporter many times, here for exemple https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/457768 | 20:02 |
| Gumby | lots of other ways, but I know this one to work | 20:02 |
| drew212 | roasted, yea, i'll look into that, i currently can't afford anything other than what i have 1 200gb drive, and a 500gb drive | 20:02 |
| Roasted | drew212, example, I back up my pictures on DVD once a month. I have pictures of people and pets that aren't with me anymore. To lose them, I'd freak out. So I do DVD backups of pictures since they are the most crucial to me, but the rest of the data is kind of whatever - I just let the drives sync up to back the data up. | 20:02 |
| Gumby | I should say created or modified | 20:02 |
| hotfloppy | Gumby: simple one liner eh.. nice.. | 20:02 |
| Gumby | hotfloppy: yup, nice and simple | 20:03 |
| Roasted | drew212, it's all good. I'm just trying to play devil's advocate because it *IS* important to have more than 1 backup. I work for a large school district, and we have backups of backups of backups. We've had a lot of close calls with data loss, so I'm thankful for the redundancy we have. I apply that opinion to home use too, which is why I'm preaching it here. :P | 20:03 |
| drew212 | Roasted: well thanks for informing me =) | 20:03 |
| Roasted | drew212, there are GUI applications to get started though. Most of which I have not used since I use a bin/bash script I created. | 20:04 |
| jm_ | backups of backups of backups - perfect waste of public money | 20:04 |
| drew212 | Roasted: currently the only problem i've had is self induced, so i want my data in two places in case i kill it in one location =D | 20:04 |
| Roasted | jm_, actually, it's not. Ever have a building burn to the ground with your core servers in place? | 20:04 |
| Zeppelean | hola | 20:04 |
| Gumby | drew212: if you add that line to /etc/rc.local and also setup a crontab entry for say every 6 hours or so you should be pretty safe | 20:04 |
| === audumla|bbl is now known as audumla | ||

| Roasted | jm_, until you do and feel the relief of having an off-site backup, therefore saving yourself money from penalties you'd get from the state from losing critical student data information, I'd suggest being quiet with your opinions. Thanks. | 20:05 |

| drew212 | yes | 20:07 |

| Gumby | hotfloppy: naw, not a guru... I just have good google fu and know how to ask a question :) | 20:08 |
| Roasted | drew212, well, if you want to check out a gui application, I'm not too sure I'll be of much more help, however, the GUI apps you want to check out are anything based on rsync. | 20:08 |
| Roasted | drew212, my script is simply 1 command.... rsync -a --progress --delete /home/jason/ /media/localbackup/ | 20:08 |
| Sensiva | Hello, is it possible to know how many times a bug or a question has been viewed in Launchpad.net ? | 20:08 |
| drew212 | Roasted: i'm looking now thanks a bunch =) | 20:08 |
| hotfloppy | Gumby: .. and a creative mind ;) | 20:09 |
| Gumby | hehe, that too | 20:09 |
| newboon2age | geez: there's probably a command to start it from the command line. did you try netbeans from the CL? | 20:09 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: very oddly, it mounts rw as long as i first boot into rescue mode (errors=remount-ro) and *then* fsck and then select *clean* in the ncurses rescue options. if i boot normally, pull up a prompt, remount rw and fsck, no such luck. | 20:09 |
| Roasted | drew212, rsync -a (archiving) --progress shows me the progress of it if I run it manually in terminal (whcih I never do, so its not that important). then theres --delete, which means if I delete something on drive A, and the script runs, it deletes it on drive B. --delete sounds scary, but --delete means when it backs up, itll be EXACT to the source drive - aka your main drive. | 20:09 |
| Roasted | drew212, then of course, /home/jason is my home directory, and /media/localbackup is the location of the 2nd internal hard drive. | 20:09 |
| Gumby | my solution requires no rsync setup :P | 20:09 |
| Roasted | drew212, I just set it up in a #bin/bash script, set up crontab to execute it every 12 hours. | 20:10 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: when you boot into rescure mode, is there .fsck in the root file system | 20:10 |
| Roasted | drew212, from there, I do nothing. IT runs on its own. All of the time. Every 12 hours. | 20:10 |
| Roasted | I do... nothing. :P | 20:10 |
| newboon2age | geez: once you figure out what the invocation command is, you can create a launcher and put it on the desktop, in a menu or wherever. | 20:10 |
| Roasted | Gumby, whats your solution? | 20:10 |
| thune3 | ikthus: are you using custom mount options? | 20:10 |
| Gumby | Roasted: find /path/to/source -mtime -1 -type f -exec pax -rw {} /path/to/destination \; | 20:10 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: sorry /forefsck | 20:10 |
| Roasted | Gumby, okay. what's that do? | 20:10 |
| pgpkeys | i have evolution grabbing IMAPS'd subscribed folders. I have one specific folder that is constantly being double grabbed (which obviates that it thus slows down to all hell on offline syncing). How do I stop it from double grabbing and where is this defined? | 20:10 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: even sorrier, /forcefsck | 20:10 |
| Gumby | Roasted: pretty much what your rsync does :) | 20:10 |
| Gumby | not saying one is better than the other, just different solutions | 20:11 |
| Roasted | Gumby, differente solutions, same results. ahh, linux. :P | 20:11 |
| Roasted | I love it. | 20:11 |
| geez | netbeans is an IDE. in the case for groovy/grails | 20:11 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: there is no /forcefsck | 20:11 |
| Gumby | add to crontab, run when you want to :) | 20:11 |
| newboon2age | geez: also it might already be on the menu, but just not showing. If you right click on the menu and pull up the menu editor, you can see if its already there (probably under programming) and then just check it so it will show. | 20:11 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: even more interesting | 20:11 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: when you fsck it, is it marked as dirty ? | 20:11 |
| Roasted | Gumby, I almost feel "old". the only way I know to use rsync is with crontab and terminal scripts. I dont even know the new gui apps out. :( | 20:11 |
| Phun5tar | I do not have the path that was given to me | 20:12 |
| Gumby | I fsck my gf and try to mark her as dirty but it never works | 20:12 |
| Roasted | lol? | 20:12 |
| Roasted | well I guess our conversation is over. | 20:12 |
| ikonia | yes | 20:12 |
| Roasted | so anyway drew212... find anything? | 20:12 |
| drew212 | Roasted: i'm working with grsync | 20:12 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: no. 0.1 percent discontiguity and then it will continue to boot. it will crash at X (as it needs 'w') but if i 'clean' first it seems to be fine. the clean i need to test one more time however, to be sure that that's necessary. one moment. | 20:12 |
| Kyle__ | Roasted: Don't feel old, feel like an old master. You don't need the crutch of a gui. | 20:13 |
| Roasted | drew212, good stuff. g-admin has a lot of applications for server oriented things. | 20:13 |
| drew212 | Roasted: how do i get it to automatically run on startup and every 6 hours? | 20:13 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: never seen anything like that | 20:13 |
| Phun5tar | I do not know how to edit my desktop startup script | 20:13 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: it's something of a boring mystery.. | 20:13 |
| Roasted | drew212, ehh you might have me there. You're using a GUI app and I dont use a GUI app for rsync... | 20:13 |
| Roasted | drew212, I would THINK thered be an option for it within the menu though. | 20:13 |
| Phun5tar | as I said before, I'm a bit stoned and I can't recall my GUI version | 20:14 |
| Roasted | Kyle__, haaa yeah. You gotta love GUI stuff though... it DOES make some things easier. However, I'm a terminal junkie, and "stuck in my ways". :P | 20:14 |
| Kyle__ | drew212: crontab for timed (every 12 hours), on startup... doesn't ubuntu have an /etc/rc.startup, or something like that. | 20:14 |
| Phun5tar | it is not gnome, per se | 20:14 |
| drew212 | Roasted: i'm not scared of the CLI, but i'd rather know exactly what i'm doing | 20:14 |
| Kyle__ | Roasted: Sometimes guis are nice, but by and large, I only use them when I need to show something to a manager/boss/etc. | 20:14 |
| drew212 | i've never used crontab, so you'd have to walk me through it | 20:14 |
| Kyle__ | Real work is done CLI. | 20:14 |
| Roasted | drew212, hey, completely understandable. I'm just saying my limitation with GUI rsync solutions is limited, so I hate to give you info I'm not 100% concrete on . | 20:14 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: sadly, i can't tail the logs as /var is ro. dmesg has a buffer limit. | 20:15 |
| julianoliver | perhaps i will alter this | 20:15 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: is it just / that's getting mounted ro | 20:15 |
| Roasted | drew212, well I basically run sudo gedit /etc/crontab, and it brings up a text editor with crontab. But keep in mind, crontab-ing it is with the script option that I use. | 20:15 |
| Phun5tar | anyone know CLI for editing desktop startup scripts? | 20:15 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: yes | 20:15 |
| drew212 | Roasted: i prefer vim =) | 20:16 |
| julianoliver | Phun5tar: vim .xsession or .xinit | 20:16 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: what other partitions do you have | 20:16 |
| Roasted | drew212, you see, I create a script and name it "backup". then I set executable permissions to it. That means if I go to terminal and type backup, it runs (as long as ownership permissions are good - which since I own it, and I own the script, it works fine) | 20:16 |
| julianoliver | Phun5tar: vim .xsession or .xinitrc | 20:16 |
| Kyle__ | drew212: /etc/rc.local :) put your on-start script in there. | 20:16 |
| p1l0t | Ok so I am getting repeat brute-force attacks on my server trying to guess the root password... I want to set up RSA key identification. I'm kinda of new to this though... I have to run ssh-keygen on the server right? and then copy one of the keys to any client machine that wants to connect right? | 20:16 |
| Roasted | drew212, then I add two entries in crontab. each of them executing by jason - aka me. the command is simply "backup". I set it to run every day, every month, every year, @ 4:00 and 16:00 - 4 am, 4 pm. | 20:16 |
| drew212 | Kyle_i wouldn't know how to write a script, =X i'm a pretty basic user | 20:17 |
| Roasted | drew212, then what I did was I would add a bunch of bogus files in my source drive and the next day I'd check it to make sure it sync'd them to my destination drive. | 20:17 |
| Roasted | Kyle__, hm, I didnt know that. What all can you put in rc.local? Is it just for bin bash scripts to run on startup? | 20:17 |
| Phun5tar | I don't see items that correlate to my issue | 20:17 |
| solidturtle | hi, I have too much source code in my home from different project get from internet and I would put in another place than /home what is the best place? and what about rights? | 20:17 |
| Roasted | drew212, it's easy, you just need to know the command. | 20:17 |
| Phun5tar | upon using those commands, that is | 20:17 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: i have three in total. a bootable /dev/sda1, an extended /dev/sda3 and swap on /dev/sda5 | 20:17 |
| Roasted | drew212, my script is 2 lines. first line is #!bin/bash. 2nd line is rsync -a --progress --delete /home/jason/ /media/localbackup/ | 20:18 |
| Roasted | drew212, save, name it "backup" (my personal preference) and then allow executable rights to it. | 20:18 |
| Kyle__ | Roasted: Yup. It runs after all the other init scripts. So if you want something non-standard to run on boot, you put it in there. | 20:18 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: what file systems are they / /home etc ? | 20:18 |
| Roasted | Kyle__, its just for bin bash scripts though? | 20:18 |
| CppIsWeird | i just tried installing ubuntu-xen-server and it says it cant be installed because one of its dependencies cannot be found, xen-tools. | 20:19 |
| drew212 | Roasted: will rsync remove files if they're removed from the source dir? | 20:19 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: in fact the /dev/sda3 isn't mounted in fstab.. | 20:19 |
| Roasted | drew212, by default, no. that's what the --delete tag does. | 20:19 |
| Kyle__ | Roasted: It's for anything you want. Just remember it runs as root :) | 20:19 |
| Drknezz | Hi guys! Anyone here has experience wiht Ubuntu PXE installs? | 20:19 |
| Roasted | drew212, thats my command by the way. You customize it to YOUR system. | 20:19 |
| Phun5tar | why does firefox and my trash can open upon desktop startup? | 20:19 |
| tyler_d1 | I cannot hard code 2 static ip's in ubuntu 10.04 64, only one or hte other works, never both? | 20:19 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: if you boot without splash, do you see anything obvious ? | 20:19 |
| Roasted | Drknezz, Ive ran FOG on Ubuntu before, which PXE boots systems for imaging. | 20:19 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: yes, endless read-only filesystem reports. | 20:19 |
| Kyle__ | Roasted: Sometimes I use it to mount things that are finicky, sometimes I use it for configs. SOmetimes I use it cause I've compiled a service that I was too lazy to write a proper init script for :) | 20:20 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: how odd | 20:20 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: it's not an SSD is it ? | 20:20 |
| Drknezz | Roasted: im trying to install ubuntu from a tftp server running on windows, problem is, i need to preload drivers for my laptop net hardware | 20:20 |
| Roasted | Kyle__, hmm, never had a need for it *yet* but its a good thing to know. | 20:20 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: no | 20:20 |
| Roasted | Drknezz, hmm, wouldnt have any experience there. My experience is the opposite - I use ubuntu as the server, and image windows clients. | 20:20 |
| Drknezz | Roasted :S | 20:21 |
| CppIsWeird | i just tried installing ubuntu-xen-server and it says it cant be installed because one of its dependencies cannot be found, xen-tools. | 20:21 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: I can't think of a reason for this behaviour | 20:21 |
| Drknezz | CppIsWeird: Do you have any other repos than the normal ones? | 20:21 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: nor can i. it's quite troubling really. | 20:21 |
| Kyle__ | Roasted: That file, or one like it, is found in most every linux/BSD and other unix like system. | 20:21 |
| h00k | julianoliver: it's not an odd custom kernel or anything, is it? | 20:21 |
| CppIsWeird | Drknezz, i have whatever came with the system upon install. | 20:21 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: i mean, why is it that an fsck each time will allow me through to a normal boot? | 20:21 |
| julianoliver | h00k: no, not at all. | 20:22 |
| Drknezz | CppIsWeird: Hmmm... | 20:22 |
| bihari | can any one help me ? i got some problem | 20:22 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: more so when it's clean before fsck anyway | 20:22 |
| Drknezz | CppIsWeird: try visiting the official webpage and download DEBs from there | 20:22 |
| Roasted | Kyle__, not sure I understand. would I just add th ename of the bin/bash file to the end (but before the exit 0) of rc.local? | 20:22 |
| bihari | Cannot run gyvoice due to the following missing files: | 20:22 |
| bihari | tsd32.dll | 20:22 |
| bihari | tssoft.acm | 20:22 |
| Roasted | Kyle__, I thought rc.local was a folder, and I'd just throw the script in. I didnt realize it was a text file. | 20:22 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: in fact i just proved that correlation wrong. i booted normally in rescue-mode after fsck and no clean. | 20:22 |
| ikonia | bihari: those are windows files | 20:22 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: it's not clean ? | 20:23 |
| h00k | bihari: also, use !pastebin for pasting multiple files. | 20:23 |
| h00k | lines8 | 20:23 |
| bihari | so how to short out this problem | 20:23 |
| Kyle__ | Roasted: Yes. You'd add it before the exit. Technically rc.local _is_ a bash script, so you'd put your code in there, or call it from there, like you would in any other bash script. | 20:23 |
| ikonia | bihari: what are you trying to run ? | 20:23 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: i don't know. 'clean' in the Ubuntu rescue-mode ncurses UI relates to freeing up disk space, which i assume == apt-get clean. | 20:23 |
| Roasted | Kyle__, gotcha. good deal. | 20:23 |
| bihari | gaychi | 20:24 |
| Roasted | drew212, you still out there? | 20:24 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: drop into a rescure shell, rather than ncurses | 20:24 |
| teicah | I have a LONG question -> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/UHghpZQs | 20:24 |
| bihari | gaychi is yahoo clint which support voice chat | 20:24 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: first thing, fsck it see what it reports | 20:24 |
| hotfloppy | Phun5tar: maybe you had ticked the option to remember your open application on log out.. if thats the case, those open application will reopen automatically on startup.. to disable it, go to System > Startup Application, go to Option tab and untick the option.. | 20:24 |
| ikonia | bihari: use the linux version rather than the windows version | 20:24 |
| drew212 | Roasted: yeah, i've backed up my folder, i'm short on time so i'll have to look at the scripting later | 20:24 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: i have tried that. just 0.1% discontiguity. | 20:24 |
| hotfloppy | Phun5tar: sorry if i'm not helping enough :) | 20:24 |
| * julianoliver does it again. | 20:24 | |
| ikonia | julianoliver: while I don't doubt you, that "can't" be right | 20:24 |
| drew212 | Roasted: currently i can just run it every now and then, which will be fine | 20:25 |
| bihari | yes gaychi is linux version | 20:25 |
| Cozarinsky | Hi! | 20:25 |
| p1l0t | Can I suggest adding https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys to ubottu under !rsa | 20:25 |
| ikonia | bihari: then why is it asking for windows files | 20:25 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: let me try one more time to be sure | 20:25 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: I'm not doubting you at all, I'm just saying it doesn't make sense, it should be dirty | 20:25 |

| Thorn_ | Hello. Wubi does not show "Install Inside Windows" button at all on any of my machines (Tested Win7 and XP). Googled around to no avail. The middle button and its related description simply does not appear in the application. | 20:25 |

| Roasted | drew212, good deal, and good luck. I gotta get back to some wiring here. If you want to pursue the scripting idea further like I have it set up, PM me @ "Roasted" on UbuntuForums.org. Otherwise if you just have GUI app questions about it, I might not be the best person to ask, but I'm sure others in here would know more about that area. :) | 20:25 |
| CppIsWeird | Drknezz, the official site does not have a deb. | 20:26 |
| h00k | p1l0t: in a /query to ubottu, you can suggest factoid changes with !rsa is <stuff goes here> | 20:26 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: hmm when i simply 'fsck /dev/sda1' it reports it clean. | 20:26 |
| Drknezz | CppIsWeird: Youll have to compile it yourself then, they must have a compilation page around there | 20:26 |
| bihari | i can access the chat rooms but when i on the voice chat it give me following missing files | 20:26 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: ok - he's a test | 20:26 |
| h00k | bihari: you | 20:26 |
| CppIsWeird | nah, that doesnt make sense. | 20:26 |
| CppIsWeird | there has to be another reason my system cant find that package. | 20:26 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: boot it so it's a "problem" again, reboot into recue shell, manually mount the disk without an fsck, what does it say | 20:26 |
| h00k | bihari: you'll probably have to get support from the software maintainers for help using it, then | 20:26 |
| CppIsWeird | i just tried installing ubuntu-xen-server and it says it cant be installed because one of its dependencies cannot be found, xen-tools. | 20:27 |
| bihari | can i install this windows file on my ubuntu so that it will support? | 20:27 |
| ikonia | CppIsWeird: make sure your repo is up to date, and you do an apt-get first to make sure all the versions are current with the repo | 20:27 |
| bihari | is there any way | 20:27 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: but it already mounts, it errors=remount-ro | 20:28 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: yup, reboot, recovery shell, mount it rw manually, what does it say/do | 20:28 |
| p1l0t | h00k: thanks! | 20:28 |
| CppIsWeird | i dont know what this means "make sure all the versions are current with the repo" and my apt-get is up to date. | 20:28 |

| julianoliver | ikonia: nothing, as my original question said. alles gut/super. | 20:29 |

| p1l0t | MaRk-I: thanks! | 20:30 |
| bihari | humm | 20:30 |
| MaRk-I | bihari: check the instructions you need to install "tsp codecs" | 20:30 |
| ikonia | MattoD: you don't it's locked | 20:30 |
| ikonia | MattoD: you'd have to unlock the root account | 20:30 |
| MaRk-I | p1l0t: yw | 20:30 |
| hotfloppy | bihari: because, i think thats impossible for linux program to ask for windows file.. | 20:30 |
| MattoD | how do i unlock it? | 20:30 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: it's a very odd problem indeed, not one i've had with a debian machine. i wonder if it's the new Ubuntu UID disk addressing playing up? | 20:30 |
| hotfloppy | bihari: so, thats might be a bug.. | 20:30 |
| ikonia | MattoD: just set a password on it | 20:30 |
| MaRk-I | bihari: send me a PM | 20:30 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: I strongly doubt it | 20:31 |
| julianoliver | right | 20:31 |
| bihari | oki | 20:31 |
| ohir | MattoD: you should not set up root password. | 20:32 |
| ikonia | ohir: he has to if he wants to unlock the root account | 20:32 |
| arvind_khadri | !root | MattoD | 20:32 |
| ubottu | MattoD: 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 | 20:32 |
| ohir | MattoD: you may still use scp/sftp authenticating with key | 20:32 |
| Thorn_ | Is there an official WUBI IRC channel? | 20:32 |
| ohir | MattoD: man sshd will tell you how to set up your key | 20:33 |
| Pici | ohir: You don't need to unlock the root account to do that iirc. | 20:33 |
| MattoD | okies ty | 20:33 |
| MaRk-I | hotfloppy: that particular program does need them codecs for voice to work | 20:33 |
| ohir | ikonia: no, he does not need to do local unlock if all he needs is remote acces | 20:33 |
| ikonia | ohir: agreed, it depends on what his client supports | 20:33 |
| ohir | MattoD: use clause rootlogin without-password in your sshd.conf | 20:34 |
| === Thorn_ is now known as _Thorn_ | ||

| MaRk-I | hotfloppy: lol nah strange but needed for yahoo voice | 20:35 |
| ohir | MattoD: for better protection restrict key usage to your private network (ie 192.168.0.*) | 20:35 |
| MaRk-I | it might be in win32codecs | 20:36 |
| MaRk-I | but you can d/l them and install manually | 20:36 |
| BluesKaj | w32codecs | 20:36 |
| MaRk-I | BluesKaj: yes those thanks | 20:36 |
| MattoD | i have the get-apt desktop installed to, i managed it on 9.04 but cant seem to on 10.04 | 20:37 |
| Pici | ohir: You shouldn't need to change anything on a default Ubuntu install. As long as the root account is locked you are fine. If you choose to setup hostkey auth for root then that will work without any changes to your sshd_config. | 20:37 |
| BluesKaj | MattoD, sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop ? | 20:37 |
| hotfloppy | BluesKaj: 'apt-cache search w32codecs' show me nothing.. | 20:37 |

| E_MAN | nevermind | 20:56 |
| sean-laptop | kangu, hop over i mean | 20:57 |
| Loshki | E_MAN: for common hardware, the answer is generally yes. But the newer the hardware, the more likely it is that is may not be supported yet. Use the live cd to check out if everything works *before* you install.. | 20:57 |

| leagris | Proz, you may get more error output by launching tuxracer within a shell window | 20:59 |
| Proz | I'll try, thanks | 20:59 |
| Loshki | duffydack: try taking out all the 'no' keywords. Did you comment out the original fstab line when you put in the new one? | 20:59 |
| duffydack | Loshki, damn now the fstab line works.. | 20:59 |
| guntbert | Raptors: javascript - try aptitude search libjs | 20:59 |

| sldfjgh | Is it just me or has the icon for the alarm clock applet shrunk recently? | 21:00 |
| duffydack | Loshki, for future reference I just added /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0 iso9660,udf user,noauto,exec 0 0 to fstab | 21:00 |
| Loshki | duffydack: depends where you added it and if you commented out the old line. fstab will grab the first line that matches your device | 21:00 |
| duffydack | Loshki, there was no cdrom line in my fstab, i used usb to install. | 21:01 |
| Loshki | duffydack: does Setup run now? | 21:01 |
| duffydack | Loshki, yup | 21:01 |
| duffydack | Loshki, and after adding a cd to winesetup | 21:01 |
| Proz | How do I find out the correct name to start programs in a shell? (which is a terminal, I presume) | 21:01 |
| Loshki | duffydack: best of luck with the rest, then.... | 21:02 |
| duffydack | Loshki, half of the problem was the wine launcher being used, as just plain 'wine' worked. | 21:02 |
| guntbert | Proz: do you have it in the menu? | 21:02 |
| Proz | I have two terminal windows open | 21:02 |
| julianoliver | Proz: if you have an idea of the name of the program, type a few characters and hit TAB. if it 'completes' then you have it, if not, then try another guess. eventually you just learn all the ones you wish to use. | 21:02 |
| pdk` | quick Q, is it possible to add the power button to the desktop in lucid + gnome | 21:02 |
| julianoliver | Proz: does this answer your question? | 21:03 |
| dajhorn | pdk`: The default desktop in Lucid puts the power button in the top-right corner of the screen. Do you need something different? | 21:03 |
| Proz | Well, no as I can't find "extreme tux racer" - Tux - racer and extreme don't give me anything | 21:04 |

| julianoliver | Proz: if OpenGL acceleration is what you want to test, then 'glxinfo | grep direct' | 21:07 |
| Loshki | Guest21039: that's pretty specialized. What are you trying to do? Compile something? | 21:07 |

| derjoerg | I have an accesspoint running within karmic, but the connections from the clients are flapping | 21:09 |
| Loshki | Guest21039: see also ##asm | 21:09 |
| === tripplite_ is now known as tripplite | ||
| julianoliver | ikonia: no, it still fails. | 21:10 |
| derjoerg | with a "hardware" accesspoint (e.g. dlink) the clients can connect | 21:10 |
| dajhorn | capletonX: You could install the second instance of Grub to a partition, and then chainload +1 it from the first instance. | 21:10 |
| derjoerg | so I think it is a problem within ubuntu | 21:10 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: I just can't think of anything that would cause that, beyond the disk being marked as dirty | 21:10 |
| Loshki | capletonX: I've never done it myself, but I believe you can 'chainload' from one grub to another. It's how grub boots windows. Start googling :-) | 21:11 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: there is no /forcefsck and even when i manually put it there, it never gets to fsck. | 21:11 |
| === tripplite is now known as tripplite_ | ||
| julianoliver | ikonia: i simply have to manually fsck at the root prompt and all is well. | 21:11 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: that's interesting | 21:11 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: I wonder why /forcefsck is not causing it to check | 21:12 |
| capletonX | dajhorn, and Loshki; thank you! Looking over to google now :) | 21:12 |

| ikonia | julianoliver: ok - here is a long shot, and I do mean long shot | 21:12 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: this is something of a clue, perhaps. | 21:12 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: is your grub uuid the same as the one in your fstab ? | 21:12 |
| === tripplite is now known as tripplite_ | ||
| ikonia | julianoliver: I'm wondering if grub mounts it ro then when it parses fstab it's different so can't remount it rw | 21:12 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: i will check. remember earlier i thought that something fishy could be up with the uuid... | 21:13 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: i mean this makes /some/ sense. | 21:13 |
| ikonia | (as it's a diferent partition) | 21:13 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: I don't think it's uuid - more so different data | 21:13 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: I's a LONG shot though | 21:13 |

| Loshki | julianoliver: I missed the history of your issue. Do you want to recap it? Sometimes that helps... | 21:17 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: i will see if the manual fsck produces a normal remaining boot on this new install. | 21:17 |
| laclasse | Agu10, look into your logs to see what is happening ... | 21:17 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: I'll keep thinking | 21:18 |
| julianoliver | Loshki: the initial question: i am trying to diagnose why my install of a lightly customised Ubuntu always boots read only. i've remounted it as rw and it works fine and ensured that /etc/fstab has entries identical to my other Ubuntu and debian installs where applicable. any ideas? | 21:18 |
| julianoliver | Loshki: furthermore, if i manually fsck on a rescue-mode boot, it continues to boot fine. at no point is there a /forcefsck to be seen however and if i place it there as a hack workaround, it is ignored. | 21:19 |
| duffydack | julianoliver, I`m late to the discussion but doesnt sudo touch /forcefsck and a reboot work? | 21:20 |
| julianoliver | duffydack: no. | 21:20 |
| ikonia | duffydack: it "should" | 21:20 |
| julianoliver | duffydack: part of the general oddness. | 21:20 |
| duffydack | yeah, weird | 21:20 |
| Loshki | julianoliver: I assume you've already covered the fact that if an fsck fails on the root partition during boot, the system leaves it mounted ro. Did any of your customisations touch the boot scripts? Which OS, btw? | 21:21 |

| MichealH | Maybe try ifconfig | 21:30 |
| slgma | is there anyone who knows a way to play justin.tv or any other flash player streams without a web browser | 21:30 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: Loshki: with Ubuntu, is there any difference installing at boot or from the desktop (using 'ubiquity' or whatever), from the filesystem perspective? | 21:30 |
| slgma | youtube has minitube but i cant seem to find anything for justin.tv | 21:31 |
| Loshki | julianoliver: the problem recurs after a reinstall? Even before you add the customisations? | 21:31 |
| MichealH | piglet12: See my last message. Sorry forgot to tag :( | 21:31 |
| julianoliver | Loshki: i'm installing from a Live CD i've made. | 21:31 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: not that I can think of | 21:31 |
| julianoliver | ok | 21:31 |
| piglet12 | MichealH where do i c ifconfig? im kinda new with this:P | 21:31 |
| root__ | Could someone please help me start my computer up? | 21:31 |

| thune3 | cryptide: pm ok? | 21:32 |
| MichealH | I will be away | 21:32 |
| piglet12 | MichealH i typed it in a terminal and it only shows eth0 | 21:32 |

| piglet12 | MichealH how do i change the drivers? | 21:33 |

| MichealH | Hmmm...... | 21:33 |
| Loshki | julianoliver: any idea what happens if you install a completely standard 9.04 then add your customisations by hand? If that works, would you consider a two cd installation process? | 21:33 |
| MichealH | Im going to have to think this through... | 21:34 |
| piglet12 | MichealH take ur time : ) | 21:34 |
| MichealH | piglet12: I am in a etting so I will try to :) | 21:34 |

| jm_ | anyone able to help with ndiswrapper invalid device errors | 21:34 |
| Loshki | julianoliver: I understand. That's why a 2 step install might be the better form of valor... | 21:35 |
| julianoliver | Loshki: but you're right. if i had time i'd install and customise by hand all over again, quite an aesthetic overall, among software compilation-fu! | 21:35 |

| iceroot | !anyone | flodine | 21:39 |
| ubottu | flodine: 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? | 21:39 |
| gregl | guntbert, Take a look at system preferences keyboard shortcuts and see if you somehow deleted the short cut.. | 21:39 |
| Loshki | julianoliver: hmm, if you can get it to boot verbosely, you should be able to see the output in real time during boot... | 21:40 |
| julianoliver | Loshki: this machine is absurdly fast.. no chance sadly! | 21:40 |
| guntbert | gregl: <del> is no shortcut - or is it? | 21:40 |
| piglet12 | MichealH i think i solved it by myself | 21:40 |
| Loshki | julianoliver: so what's your next move? | 21:41 |
| mar | hi there, would someone lend me a nasty piece of software to get rid of a flatmate's comp? | 21:41 |
| gregl | guntbert, I think all keyboard assignments are short cuts..Like vol up down etc.. | 21:41 |
| private_meta | You know your connection speed is slow if you do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" and update takes so long sudo asks for your password for upgrade again | 21:41 |
| root__ | Does anyone know how to solve problems? | 21:41 |
| julianoliver | Loshki: i'm thinking about using traditional addressing in place of UUID and then when that most probably acheives nothing, just going for a manual install and customisation from scratch, ie staying up all night. | 21:42 |

| piglet12 | MichealH its np now im so awesome that it just worked from rebooting it 3 times in a row | 21:45 |
| slidinghorn | root__, have you checked for relevant entries in dmesg? | 21:45 |

| Zuruzuru | I'm installiing the 32 bit, and I've tried both a cd and a usb installer | 22:00 |
| slidinghorn | MindVirus, try this (removes pulse & replaces it with ESD) -- may or may not solve the issue, but it's a starting point...you may not want to install ESD right away just to see if pulse was the issue in the 1st place: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-all-pulseaudio-related-issues.html | 22:01 |
| alteregoa | darmok and jalad at tanagra | 22:01 |

| zeal__ | guntbert: Section: misc | 22:06 |
| ubottu | heathen: 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 | 22:06 |
| MindVirus | heathen: Not a good idea. | 22:06 |
| zeal__ | guntbert: work with it | 22:06 |
| slidinghorn | MindVirus, glad I could help :) | 22:07 |
| heathen | But I can't do anything. It keeps asking to "Authenticate" How do I do that? | 22:07 |
| madrid | Hi, I can not change the password in jaunty.. i need the console parameters... | 22:07 |
| guntbert | zeal__: I don't need any software right now :-) | 22:07 |
| guntbert | !sudo | heathen | 22:07 |
| ubottu | heathen: 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 | 22:07 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: Loshki: i think i confused myself earlier - i can only resume a boot if i choose fsck from from the ncurses menu of the recovery UI. if i fsck -y -f /dev/sda1 i cannot resume a normal boot, the fs is still ro. is this perhaps a clue? | 22:08 |
| lyrae | something beyond strange is happening.... i keep deleting a folder, 'blue' from the .trash-1000 folder, and it deletes, and comes back as blue.2 | 22:08 |
| heathen | kthx | 22:08 |
| lyrae | then if i try again, blue 2.2 | 22:08 |
| lyrae | and etc | 22:08 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: what happens if you do fsck -n /dev/sda1 then try to boot | 22:08 |
| guntbert | heathen: did you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo ? | 22:08 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: that will provide us with a good clue | 22:08 |
| heathen | not yet, goin in... | 22:08 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: ok, i'll try this next. | 22:08 |
| aeon-ltd | Zuruzuru: sorry it took so long to reply, no it shouldn't happen on a machine like this, what are you usingg to install? | 22:08 |
| madrid | I can not change the password in jaunty.. | 22:09 |
| Zuruzuru | aeon-ltd, I've tried both ubuntu and xubuntu, I can't get past this black screen though. I'm hoping it's not a hardware problem, but it's starting to look like it | 22:09 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: it just says /dev/sda1: clean, (etc) | 22:10 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: now attempting a resumed boot. | 22:10 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: still ro | 22:10 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: thats good news | 22:10 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: the problem is %100 the disk is being marked as dirty | 22:10 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: ahah.. | 22:10 |
| * heathen can't scroll back on this thing :( | 22:10 | |
| aeon-ltd | Zuruzuru: are these freshly burnt cds on new cds? | 22:10 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: something is corrupting the disk's file system integrity | 22:11 |
| Loshki | julianoliver: Well, the script has to check the status of fsck since it can only allow write access if the fsck says the filesystem is ok, so that's why I presume only the ncurses option works. What I don't understand is why the filesystem doesn't seem to stay clean if you've booted successfully once... | 22:11 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: any clues based on what your system does ?# | 22:11 |
| Zuruzuru | aeon-ltd, brand new ones. ANd I've tried using a usb key too | 22:11 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: interesting. what are my options? | 22:11 |
| slidinghorn | heathen, do you need the links again? | 22:11 |
| aeon-ltd | Zuruzuru: then its definitely hardware related | 22:11 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: i can't see any. i have no scrollback as dmesg is truncated. | 22:11 |
| Zuruzuru | aeon-ltd, That's what I thought, thanks for the help. | 22:11 |
| aeon-ltd | Zuruzuru: what part if the install happens before the black screen | 22:12 |
| julianoliver | Loshki: yes, i don't know why it doesn't stay clean either.. | 22:12 |
| aeon-ltd | *if-->of | 22:12 |
| slidinghorn | julianoliver, try dmesg | less | 22:12 |
| spotter | dz | 22:12 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: I'm wondering if here is an application doing it, if the box is not shutting down properly (power off before clean up on the disk) | 22:12 |
| Zuruzuru | aeon-ltd, I get the ubuntu screen after I click "Install on harddrive" and then it goes black after that. | 22:12 |
| ikonia | julianoliver: have a look at the parameters set with tune2fs | 22:12 |

| mcl0vin | hi guys , i am having an issue. am running 9.10 on an HP mini 10" when i login to my work terminal server(Windows) the screen is cut in half were i don't see the " start" button please help me | 22:14 |
| Zuruzuru | aeon-ltd, yeah, boots fine. | 22:14 |
| aeon-ltd | Zuruzuru: any problems in xp? | 22:14 |
| Zuruzuru | aeon-ltd, none. | 22:15 |
| Agu10 | when I try to connect to a WIFI network, it stays in the "connecting" state, and I can't access the internet. However, creating ad-hoc wifi networks works just fine. | 22:15 |
| Agu10 | any ideas? | 22:15 |

| thune3 | chalcedny: check power-management and screensaver preferences in system->prefs | 22:15 |
| aeon-ltd | Zuruzuru: damn, not sure if its worthwhile but ubuntu loads part of itself onto the ram when going live, a memory test might be able to tell you more but since there are no problems in xp it sounds unlikely | 22:16 |
| Zuruzuru | aeon-ltd, takes, I'll run a memory test then | 22:16 |
| chalcedny | thune3 thanks :) | 22:16 |
| aeon-ltd | Zuruzuru: hope it helps, gtg i'll be bach | 22:17 |

| tim_ | I was using smuxi perfectly until I changed the preferences and now I can't open the program. It keeps crashing. I tried reinstalling with no luck. Any suggestions? | 22:18 |
| Loshki | julianoliver: worth a try. Also, if the live cd has smartctl, take a quick look at the disk health... | 22:19 |
| ikonia | nice idea | 22:19 |
| loldog | anyone know how to get rt3070 chipset to do injection (usb wlan stick)? | 22:19 |
| julianoliver | Loshki: yes, good idea. | 22:19 |
| ikonia | if the disk is failing it could be messing up the file system | 22:19 |
| julianoliver | Loshki: it was burnt at a whopping 9x | 22:19 |
| Loshki | julianoliver: the hard disk health :-) | 22:19 |
| === Guest2052 is now known as robher | ||
| julianoliver | ikonia: ahh right. i thought you meant fs corruption carried over from a poor live CD somehow. | 22:20 |
| julianoliver | ikonia: oops, intended for Loshki | 22:20 |
| tim_ | I was using smuxi perfectly until I changed the preferences and now I can't open the program. It keeps crashing. I tried reinstalling with no luck. Any suggestions? | 22:21 |
| julianoliver | Loshki: right. it's a brand new 250Gb SeaGate. i will check it regardless. | 22:21 |
| Loshki | julianoliver: a bad live CD burn *is* a possibility, but it usually doesn't have such subtle effects. Most often, a bad burn results in a non-bootable CD. A bad brand new hard drive is also not unheard of, and we are scraping the barrel a bit now... | 22:22 |
| julianoliver | Loshki: hehe indeed. | 22:22 |
| ikonia | Loshki: I've seen file systems get corrupted on hard disk spin up due to dodgy voltage | 22:22 |
| julianoliver | interesting.. | 22:23 |
| ikonia | the possabilities are pretty open | 22:23 |
| Loshki | julianoliver: ikonia: sometimes, I'm amazed that *anything* works.... | 22:23 |
| tim_ | I was using smuxi perfectly until I changed the preferences and now I can't open the program. It keeps crashing. I tried reinstalling with no luck. Any suggestions? | 22:25 |

| itexus | Hi, im trying to install ubuntu server mounted on a USB memstick. But it keeps insisting that its something wrong with the "CD" and cant copy files :/ | 22:26 |
| itexus | I dont even have a optical drive installed in that computer. | 22:26 |
| tim_ | slidinghorn, yes. Then, I reinstall and it doesn't launch. | 22:27 |
| itexus | I have installed ubuntu server on the memorystick using the USB installer from pendrive linux | 22:27 |
| guest12158 | Hi | 22:27 |
| itexus | Anyone knows whats the deal with it? :/ | 22:27 |
| slidinghorn | tim_, have you launched it from command line (I personally don't know what smuxi is, so if that's the only way to launch, forgive me)? what error messages are you given (use http://paste.ubuntu.com for multiple lines) | 22:27 |

| slidinghorn | tim_, haven't found anything yet....still looking | 22:35 |
| borwar | I mean, I skipped additional software | 22:35 |
| ali____ | ok | 22:35 |
| itexus | ubottu. the checksums are identical (for the ISO file). I have also scanned the USB memstick for invalid clusters and stuff but it says its ok. i have also tried reformat and reinstalled it on the memstick with the same results. | 22:35 |

| BiggFREE | Hi | 22:39 |
| julianoliver | Loshki: ikonia the disk passed the smartctl test, so i'm assuming it's just in init or the tendrilous boot scripts themselves. i will take a stock 9.04 and start again i think. thanks for your help! | 22:39 |
| CppIsWeird | if i install xen-tools from source will the ubuntu-xen-server package see this and install? | 22:39 |
| slidinghorn | tim_ if you'd like i can try to take a look at the config file...you can pastebin it, just make sure that you take your passwords out of it before posting | 22:39 |
| itexus | slidinghorn, ok thanks. i think i already read those pages. But to me the problem with the installation it seems like ubuntu server is designed to only be installed with CD, atleast in my version (10.4). Also it fails to detect any disks. | 22:40 |
| xibalba_ | man this channel fills up with too much info | 22:40 |
| slidinghorn | itexus, is your bios set to boot from USB? | 22:40 |
| tim_ | slidinghorn, I can't even find the config file. It's not in my home or in /usr/share. I can't even find anything in gconf-editor | 22:40 |
| xibalba_ | tim do a find / for it | 22:40 |
| itexus | slidinghorn, ofcourse i am in the setup ^^ there is no OS on the machine | 22:40 |
| slidinghorn | tim_, what about in ~/.config/smuxi/smuxi-engine.ini | 22:40 |

| MindVirus | Hi. If pulseaudio is installed, when GDM starts up, my computer freezes and I can't go to a VT. If pulseaudio is uninstalled, everything works properly except sound. | 22:42 |
| itexus | slidinghorn, one more question. The iso file says amd64, but my cpu is intel64. Can it work anyway? | 22:44 |
| tim_ | slidinghorn, http://paste.ubuntu.com/459995/ thanks so much. | 22:44 |
| slidinghorn | itexus, the 64-bit should work with just about any 64-bit arch | 22:44 |
| blain | not true | 22:44 |
| itexus | Ok, as i thought. thanks. | 22:44 |

| `boz | no go slart | 22:48 |
| Slart | `boz: I think QCad should end up in one of the menus.. at least it did the last time I installed it.. perhaps it will show up after a reboot.. sometimes whatever the thing responsible for updating the menu doesn't quite work right away | 22:48 |

| bladescape | I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS x64 Edition, which I just installed last night on my Gateway M-7351U laptop. The machine is running on an Intel Core 2 Duo T4200 processor with 4 GB of RAM and an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500 (Mobile Intel GM45 Express Chipset Family) graphics card. I am using Orca magnification software. But my graphics are horrible. I read online that there may be some settings in xorg.conf that can be changed to resolve this but I | 22:54 |

| ubottu | Puffcio: 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. :-) | 22:58 |
| blain | what was the question? | 22:58 |
| wrinkliez | no thats making the .rb executable. like for example, there are programs that are .py's (programmed in python), but you would need to install the entire python programming language to install it. thats why they create an executable. i want to do THAT with ruby. | 22:58 |
| bladescape | I just discovered that my /etc/X11/xorg.conf is blank. Is it supposed to be like that or if not how can I get it fixed? | 22:58 |
| Puffcio | ive installed ubuntu via wubi on windows 7 on partition "D" | 22:58 |
| Puffcio | i can see my windows partition | 22:58 |
| slidinghorn | bladescape, by default in 10.04 it is blank..you can edit it however you need to though | 22:58 |
| Puffcio | but not the partition "D" | 22:59 |
| sebsebseb | Puffcio: yeah Ubuntu won't boot? | 22:59 |

| Puffcio | no no its running grat, i love it :D | 22:59 |
| vlt | bladescape: What exactly "looks horrible"? | 22:59 |
| bazhang | delaman, sure | 22:59 |
| trism | wrinkliez: perhaps http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/rubyscript2exe/ if you mean like py2exe which just embeds the interpreter in an executable and runs the script | 22:59 |
| slidinghorn | Puffcio, for future reference, try to keep questions/responses to one line (don't use the Enter key as punctuation) | 22:59 |
| sebsebseb | Puffcio: its in the file system of wubi and then /hosts I think to access Windows partition read only | 22:59 |
| L33tCh | hey... anyone here good with grub? | 23:00 |
| PaulM | is there a canonical PPA to grab python 2.7 from? | 23:00 |
| sebsebseb | Puffcio: also in the long run much better to use a partitoned install, plus by doing so you can easilly access the data using the Live CD, can't do that with Wubi | 23:00 |
| bazhang | L33tCh, grub or grub2 | 23:00 |
| dataHeist | L33tCh: I make a mean breakfast burrito :D | 23:00 |
| vlt | !anyone | L33tCh | 23:00 |

| delaman | bazhang: last time i tried my ssd went dead. could have been that it was dead in the first place though im not 100% sure. | 23:00 |
| Puffcio | sebsebseb thank you | 23:00 |
| wrinkliez | trism: thats what im looking for, yes, but rubyscript2exe is outdated and only works for windows nowadays | 23:00 |
| L33tCh | my brother had a wubi install of 10.04 that's causing probs so i guess grub2 | 23:00 |
| sebsebseb | !dualboot | Puffcio | 23:00 |

| banished_ | Hi, I've added ppa:brandonsnider/cdrtools to my package sources and did a dist-upgrade, yet I szill have wodim - what am I missing? | 23:01 |
| bladescape | The bottom task bar thing is not displaying in the Orca magnifier, on-screen windows are not displaying properly (broken, etc.). I don't know how else to describe it as I am visually impaired which is why I am using the magnifier. All I know is that it looks horribly wrong. I read online that there are some settings I can change in xorg.conf but as I said the file is blank. | 23:01 |
| MysteryX | Can I install a 64-bit Ubuntu inside a VMWare which runs on a 32-bit Ubuntu host? | 23:01 |
| PaulM | MysteryX: you should be able to | 23:01 |
| Puffcio | ive got no probs running on wubi its just ive tried to find those stuff, but now ive got it | 23:01 |
| itexus | slidinghorn, tried unetbootin, works! problem solved. thanks | 23:01 |
| slidinghorn | itexus, glad to hear it :) no problem | 23:01 |
| PaulM | MysteryX: It won't necessarily be particularly efficient though | 23:01 |
| sebsebseb | Puffcio: right, but a proper partitioned install will run a bit better, you may not notice it though | 23:01 |
| L33tCh | he apparently click sleep or something other than shutdown and after some message about swap not being large enough, grub loads to a grub prompt and not the grub menu... any ideas? | 23:02 |
| MysteryX | PaulM: Thanx | 23:02 |
| Puffcio | but i wantet first to try it for couple of days, during back up my data | 23:02 |
| sebsebseb | Puffcio: ok | 23:02 |
| sebsebseb | Puffcio: still got your ISO by the way? | 23:02 |
| Puffcio | then i will just completly get rid of windows 7 | 23:02 |
| sebsebseb | Puffcio: ok that sounds good, but do you have WIndows apps that you want to run inside Ubuntu? | 23:02 |
| Puffcio | ive got the disk from ubuntu website and iso file on hard drive | 23:03 |
| blain | windows might come in handy even in a VM just in case | 23:03 |
| lordquackstar | How can I get to the grub menu in the Lucid Live CD? For me it immediatly boots without showing the menu | 23:03 |
| sebsebseb | blain: indeed | 23:03 |
| Puffcio | no, im just internet browser | 23:03 |
| Puffcio | nothing particular as long as i can listen to mymusic | 23:03 |
| sebsebseb | Puffcio: is that it, no 3D Windows games or whatever, just want to use a web browser and play music? | 23:03 |
| slidinghorn | lordquackstar, hold shift during boot -- that should bring up the grub2 menu | 23:03 |
| Puffcio | yes, | 23:04 |
| lordquackstar | slidinghorn: Ok, thanks | 23:04 |
| sebsebseb | Puffcio: ok right yeah you don't need Windows then | 23:04 |
| bladescape | Oh - I also read online that all the graphics issues may be due to my graphics card/drivers but I haven't found a solution for that. | 23:04 |
| sebsebseb | Puffcio: Really I shoudn't need to type this, because the Ubuntu website should be making it clear to people, but no, that before using an ISO it is a good idea to check it :) So before you burn contents of the ISO to a CD and install Ubuntu from it properly, after removing Wubi. | 23:05 |
| sebsebseb | Puffcio: its a good tip. and good practice | 23:05 |
| sebsebseb | !md5sum | 23:06 |
| ubottu | 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 | 23:06 |

| blain | and save media | 23:06 |
| sebsebseb | blain: even if using the ISO with a USB drive, should check it first | 23:06 |
| blain | apps already do that | 23:06 |
| blain | and will download it for him | 23:06 |
| L33tCh | ok, problem in a nutshell... wubi 10.04 install runnign fine. then hibernate or something chosen instead of shutdown and now after choosing ubuntu form teh windows boot menu, we jsut get a grub prompt.. anyone know how I can fix that? | 23:06 |
| Puffcio | ive got proper ubuntu cd, ordered from their website, so i dont need to burn iso | 23:06 |
| sebsebseb | blain: if ISO is from HTTP/FTP nothing will check it for him, if he downloaded from a torrent, he could check in the torrent program that everything was downloaded | 23:07 |
| sebsebseb | Puffcio: or right yeah, use that | 23:07 |
| vlt | bladescape: Seems quite old, but have you read this? http://live.gnome.org/Orca/Magnification | 23:07 |
| L33tCh | and can anyone tell me what the lates kernel version is? this is so i can try the commands manually in grub (well, latest yesterday if it's different to today) | 23:07 |
| user01 | how do i make server download and install aptitude updates daily at 4am? | 23:07 |
| user01 | user01, with cron? | 23:08 |
| blain | using cron | 23:08 |
| sebsebseb | L33tCh: Ubuntu won't be using the very latest kernel version, since you don't need it. anyway uname -r to find out what kernel you are running | 23:08 |
| blain | L33tCh kernel.org | 23:08 |
| vlt | bladescape: Though a GM45 card should be supported out of the box ... hmmm | 23:08 |
| Jordan_U | L33tCh: Just use "ls /boot/" to see what kernels you have. | 23:08 |
| slidinghorn | !cron > user01 | 23:08 |
| ubottu | user01, please see my private message | 23:08 |
| L33tCh | problem is we can;t get past grub, so any bash commands... not an option :( | 23:08 |
| L33tCh | ah, didn't think of that... work in grub? | 23:08 |
| Jordan_U | L33tCh: Yes, "ls /boot/" works in grub. | 23:09 |
| L33tCh | thanks... will get him to try that... | 23:09 |
| vlt | L33tCh: grub supports tab auto-completion (for the exact file names) | 23:09 |
| ridin | how can i rename my computer | 23:09 |
| Jordan_U | !hostname | ridin | 23:09 |
| ubottu | ridin: 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. | 23:09 |
| blain | ridin hostname | 23:09 |
| L33tCh | vlt: thought so but when we type vmlin and hit tab, jsut moves to a new line (same text) anyway, trying to list the dir now... | 23:10 |
| vlt | user01: Have a look at pkg cron-apt | 23:10 |
| bladescape | If this helps, there were no errors during Ubuntu install, and before Ubuntu I was running Windows Vista Home Premium x64 with excellent graphics. I love the Ubuntu OS except for the graphics issue. I've searched high and low around the Web for a solution to the problem but couldn't find one that worked for me so I thought I'd ask here. | 23:10 |
| user01 | vlt, ok | 23:10 |
| ridin | ok i did sudo gedit /etc/hosts and there was my hostname, do i just change the hostname | 23:11 |
| vlt | bladescape: I never used orca. Can you check the behaviour on another machine? Just to verify that it is an X server issue? | 23:11 |
| user01 | slidinghorn, so if i do a crontab of aptitude dist-upgrade it will answer the prompts? | 23:12 |
| mountainman5 | Hey guys, newbie here, how do you check the md5sum of a cd that you have burned an .iso image of the ubuntu OS to? | 23:12 |
| blain | ridin no, use hostname command | 23:13 |
| slidinghorn | user01, well first, let me ask, how often are you planning on doing a dist upgrade? that should be a very rare occasion... | 23:13 |
| bladescape | When I used Ubuntu on my desktop machine running NVIDIA GeForce 6200 graphics on an Intel Celeron 2.40GHz processor and 1 GB RAM Orca worked wonderfully and there were no graphics issues at all. Mind you this was at the end of last year and I was using Ubuntu 9.10 not 10.04 as it hadn't been released yet. | 23:13 |
| ridin | blain, according to the bot if i want it perm i have to change /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname | 23:13 |
| sebsebseb | !md5sum | mountainman5 | 23:14 |
| ubottu | mountainman5: 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 | 23:14 |
| sebsebseb | !hashes | 23:14 |
| blain | yeah, rght /etc/hostname but not /etc/hosts | 23:14 |
| ubottu | See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. | 23:14 |
| delaman | mountainman5: you can only do a md5sum with an iso | 23:14 |
| L33tCh | ok, boot folder is empty :( anyone know how i can get files from a wubi partition | 23:14 |
| ridin | blain, it said if it's not matched then sudo won't work | 23:14 |
| vlt | mountainman5: Two options: check the whole disk `md5sum /dev/cdrom` but there might be errors if the device has not the same size as the iso had (I experienced this with some cd writers) or use the built-in md5sum check from the boot menu | 23:15 |
| blain | sudo vi /etc/hostname | 23:15 |
| user01 | slidinghorn, why do you say that? | 23:15 |
| L33tCh | well, wubi partition file i guess... | 23:15 |
| user01 | slidinghorn, aptitude dist-upgrade gets updates to the currently installed packages, including any new packages which are now required | 23:15 |
| vlt | mountainman5: ... which checks every single file -- except itself ;-) | 23:15 |
| ridin | what does vi do? | 23:15 |
| blain | text editor | 23:16 |
| slidinghorn | user01, dist upgrade upgrades the entire distro -- doesn't only update packages. I'd recommend cron-apt to set up regular apt-get update && apt-get upgrade...see here for the difference b/t upgrade & dist-upgrade http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/whats-the-difference-between-apt-get-upgrade-and-apt-get-dist-upgrade-165998/ | 23:17 |
| vlt | !who | bladescape | 23:18 |
| ubottu | bladescape: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 23:18 |
| slidinghorn | user01, here's the package info for cron-apt: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/cron-apt | 23:18 |
| vlt | bladescape: So, looks like a gm45 problem indee | 23:18 |
| vlt | s | 23:18 |
| L33tCh | is it possible to get to files saved in a wubi installation if you are not able to boot into said installation any more? | 23:18 |
| vlt | indeed, even | 23:19 |
| user01 | slidinghorn, it updates the most recent packages? http://www.shallowsky.com/blog/linux/debian-upgrades.html | 23:19 |
| vlt | L33tCh: Boot a live cd and mount the file system you want access to | 23:19 |
| L33tCh | vlt: the files were saved in the wubi file system which i assume is a file on an NTFS partition in windows... any idea how to mount that? | 23:20 |
| bladescape | vlt: What about the blank xorg.conf file? There are some solutions I can try to fix the issue that require me to edit xorg.conf but if it is blank can I still use those solutions? | 23:20 |
| vlt | L33tCh: mount has an "-o loop" option | 23:20 |
| vlt | bladescape: I haven't touch an xorg.conf in years ... | 23:21 |
| vlt | *touched | 23:21 |
| L33tCh | similar to used when mounting an iso then? | 23:21 |
| * vlt needs to sleep | 23:21 | |
| erUSUL | L33tCh: yes | 23:22 |
| bladescape | vlt: If xorg.conf is blank is there another way to configure the X server or is there a sample xorg.conf file that I can use as a starting point for implementing the solutions I've found? | 23:22 |
| slidinghorn | user01, it really depends on what you're trying to do...if you're just doing a routine update of the system, apt-get update is recommended -- it does dependency checking and skips upgrading if there's a conflict (which I believe cron-apt can output any errors, warnings etc so you can check if this happened) | 23:23 |
| L33tCh | thanks... anyway, brother's gone to sleep, so i guess can't do any more now... | 23:23 |
| vlt | bladescape: I think you can override the automatically detected values simply by editing xorg.conf, yes | 23:23 |
| erUSUL | bladescape: try this. « sudo Xorg -configure :1 » if it works it will create a xorg.conf in /root/ | 23:24 |
| bladescape | vlt: one of the solutions I've found was to enable UXA support by adding a certain line to xorg.conf. This solution was for Ubuntu 9.04 though so I don't know if UXA has been enabled by default in 10.04. Apparently UXA provides greater performance for Intel graphics cards such as mine. Do you kmnow if UXA is enabled by default in 10.04? | 23:25 |

| * feurig thinks that whoever keeps saying thats normal has been listing to too much glen beck. | 23:36 | |
| thune3 | Lazyvee: i can only think that you might have very low power cpu, or you have a graphics driver issue. (flash is normally resource hungry in linux) | 23:36 |
| feurig | anyways. I here this channel can be more useful than google sometimes. | 23:36 |
| ivano | #ubuntu-it | 23:37 |
| jcompute000 | soreau: That is the issue that I am concerned about. I know conceptually it should run fine, but I also know that some grapics cards give certian driver problems that will cause them not to be able to do things like 3D rendering. I just got done with another computer (an older on, so I kind of expected it) that had that issue. I was just wondering if anyone knows for sure whether that will work. Also, what about a computer with | 23:37 |

| * feurig can has typing and grammar... | 23:38 | |
| bladescape1 | erUSUL: "xorg: command not found" | 23:39 |
| soreau | jcompute000: Every graphics driver has it's own set of problems, there's no denying that. However, while nvidia is proprietary, doesn't cooperate with OSS devs and deosn't even support xrandr1.2 yet, also with the lack of general community support you get (from actual driver devs), I see radeon as a much better bet | 23:39 |
| erUSUL | bladescape1: Xorg ( capital X ) | 23:39 |
| thune3 | Lazyvee: can you show me the 'product' and the 'driver' show when you run "lshw -C video" | 23:39 |
| soreau | jcompute000: The radeon driver is OSS, is already better than it's proprietary counterpart in most areas, supports xrandr fully and you have limitless support from real radeon driver devs in #radeon | 23:39 |
| jcompute000 | soreau: Ok, thanks for you help. I mostly wish there was a way I could test it at the store, but I'm sure Best Buy and company would not appreciate me using an Ubuntu live CD on their floor models, lol. | 23:40 |

| jcompute000 | soreau: Yea, thanks. I may do that. But also, I am not sure how much I can test from the live CD. Obviously, if it works right off the bat, then I am golden. But if I have to install a driver, then I don't know if the live CD will be an easy way to test that. | 23:43 |
