| guest11 | ok idleone | 00:01 |
| craigbass1976 | I'm about to try using testdisk and photorec to recover an xp partition that is now ext3. I don't see any option to recover sucha thing though, all I se is the linux and swap partitions on that drive. Meh? | 00:01 |
| dugger5688 | Just re-ask, some of use don't log back very long or just joined like me. | 00:01 |
| guest11 | hey tuizim my file is ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run | 00:02 |
| guest11 | what do i type in terminal | 00:02 |
| dugger5688 | guest 11 "./$script" replace the $script with the file name. | 00:03 |
| guest11 | i did that it said command not found | 00:03 |
| L33tCh | guest, you may need to "sudo ./ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run" | 00:03 |
| valentinex | bastidrazor: wohaaaa cairo is beautiful and not making much load, thank you so much | 00:03 |
| guest11 | with! sudo | 00:03 |
| guest11 | ok its working | 00:04 |
| guest11 | .... | 00:04 |
| bastidrazor | valentinex: glad you like it. it is highly configurable. it can do lots of things | 00:04 |
| guest11 | now it get Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version | 00:04 |

| guest11 | correctly set by --iscurrentdistro | 00:04 |
| bastidrazor | guest11: you needed to stop X before running the installer | 00:04 |
| Niglop | Everytime i log onto linux nothing responds and i have to restart x display everytime for it to work? it wasnt doing this before | 00:05 |
| guest11 | stop x ?? | 00:05 |
| guest11 | how do i do that | 00:05 |
| bastidrazor | !ati > guest11 read this page for a proper howto | 00:05 |
| ubottu | guest11, please see my private message | 00:05 |
| L33tCh | ctrl+alt f1 and then i use "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" though there may be a better way | 00:06 |
| L33tCh | (after loggin in within that first terminal that is) | 00:07 |
| craigbass1976 | Is it even possible to recover files off a windows partition if I've already installed linux? | 00:07 |
| slidinghorn | L33tCh, try to use the person's name whom your response is directed to in your posts so they get alerted and everyone knows who you're talking to...you can use tab to autocomplete if needed :) | 00:08 |
| Kyle__ | I'm having problems install xemacs. It keeps on complaining about dependency problems. | 00:08 |
| slidinghorn | craigbass1976, did you install *over* your windows install? | 00:09 |
| Kyle__ | dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of xemacs21: xemacs21 depends on xemacs21-mule (>= 21.4.22-2ubuntu1) | xemacs21-mule-canna-wnn (>= 21.4.22-2ubuntu1) | xemacs21-nomule (>= 21.4.22-2ubuntu1); however: | 00:09 |
| craigbass1976 | slidinghorn, I did | 00:09 |
| Kyle__ | And then it complains about several packages not being configured yet. | 00:09 |
| L33tCh | slidinghorn: hehe, can you believe that after all this time, i never tried tab in irc... thanks | 00:09 |
| feurig | is there a way with 10.4 to talk to a usb device (atmel usb avr) without escalating privileges like you used to do with udev rules? | 00:09 |
| Kyle__ | How do I clean this out so it will work properly? | 00:09 |
| craigbass1976 | slidinghorn, well, someone else's. I thought my wife had already taken the computer away. | 00:09 |
| slidinghorn | craigbass1976, eek...I don't believe there is a way to do that...I'm looking for a way to save you though ;) | 00:09 |
| craigbass1976 | slidinghorn, photorec and testdisk seem to only find the current partitions on that drive | 00:10 |
| lucas-arg | is there any package in ubuntu repos to make a live backup of installation like remastersys or garfio? | 00:10 |
| sille777_ | I cloned a drive that contained a winxp partition to a drive that doesnt... How do I tell ubuntu on the new drive not to look for the windows partition? | 00:11 |

| forest | I'm setting up a ZoneMinder box on 10.4, had a few minor problems with the board... now when I finally am ready to setup DynDNS, I cand seem to broadcast on port 80... Suggestions? | 00:12 |
| slidinghorn | craigbass1976, yeah, because installing ubuntu completely reformats the HDD (from NTFS to ext4 in the case of 10.04). This is the only glimmer of hope I could find: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1364967 | 00:12 |

| calum | forest:aah I was thinking that not seeing the web page from the internet might be to do with port forwarding | 00:21 |
| Sille777 | l33tCh, Its shows in the grub boot menu and then hangs at ubuntu login when trying to mount /windows that is no longer present on the new drive | 00:21 |

| dugger5688 | forest: no it shouldn't. | 00:24 |

| feurig | basically all of the udev based solutions suggested are broken in 10.4 and the only thread I can find on it suggests that escallating privilages is a normal solution. | 00:26 |
| dugger5688 | forest: "sudo apt-get remove --purge package" | 00:26 |
| soreau | Dunas: The radeon driver isnt ready for it yet and probably not ubuntus 2.6.32 kernel either sotry blacklisting the radeon module by booting with radeon.blacklist=1 | 00:26 |
| forest | calum - did not install any firewall , but I will doublechecj firestarter now | 00:26 |
| calum | forest:OK | 00:26 |
| forest | dugger - for each package? | 00:27 |
| dugger5688 | forest: only for the package you want to remove, and remove settings for. | 00:27 |
| feurig | i will go ask in #avr. | 00:27 |
| king11 | dugger5688: I did use a search engine wise guy, i got a site on google called btjunkie but wanted to know if anyone would have known a better site that has one instead of me going through thousands of torrent links | 00:27 |

| newboon2age | feurig: well remember you're asking an extremely specific and specialized question in a channel made of volunteers. Probably no one else here right at the moment has experience with it. However Atmel probably does use Ubuntu Lucid and so could probably give the answer. | 00:38 |
| calum | king11:There is a package in Ubuntu called ClamAV which is an open source antivirus program. However since Ubuntu security is much better than Linux its difficult to get one | 00:38 |

| calum | S0Y:When you surf the web you might find yourself being redirected to other sites or you might find new files added to system folders etc | 00:41 |
| newboon2age | king11: really people mistakenly use the word 'virus' when they really mean malware. While few to no viruses are currently active/a problem on Linux, there are malware exploits that probably need to broaden your scope beyond 'viruses' | 00:41 |
| S0Y | like rootkits for unix/linux systems are pretty nasty i hear, how do you prevent that other than run levels? | 00:41 |
| king11 | calum: okay perfect i will keep that in mind and thanks for the information again | 00:41 |
| calum | no problem. | 00:42 |
| calum | I heard its really difficult to detect a rootkit once its on your computer | 00:42 |
| prince_jammys | S0Y: not running random executables will cover most cases. | 00:42 |
| king11 | newboon2age: okay so if i get one of these malware exploits on my ubuntu is there a way i can get rid of them | 00:42 |
| p1l0t | S0Y linux is much more secure than windows. Especially if you stick to tested packages. You don't need a subscription service to stay clean | 00:42 |
| porksoda | You can never trust your system after it has been compromised. That goes for Windows/linux and everything in between | 00:43 |

| S0Y | alright, thanks guys. | 00:44 |
| newboon2age | feurig: sorry, that is pretty much the limit of my knowledge. | 00:44 |

| newboon2age | king11: the thing is that linux makes it hard on malware *unless you install it yourself* . That's about the only way to get really clobbered. | 00:50 |
| Lxndr | I have a deep red 'caution' sign on the upper right side of my desktop. When I click it to investigate, it says that my update information is outdated. How can I fix this? | 00:51 |
| newboon2age | king11: so a malware writer needs to get you to install it if they really want to affect Linux | 00:51 |
| slidinghorn | Lxndr, sudo apt-get update or use synaptic Menu>System>administration> synaptic package manager | 00:51 |
| sille777 | ok thaks everyone winxp is gone from the grub menu... HOwever I still get a hang when it tries to mount the WinXP partion to /windows that doesnt exsist | 00:51 |
| newboon2age | king11: but when you are using trusted repositories that is highly unlikely. | 00:51 |
| === slidinghorn is now known as SlidingHorn_out | ||
| calum | yanick_:If that doesn't work, (I've had some trouble with flashplugin-installer before) try installing it from http://adobe.com/products/flash (usually works better) | 00:52 |
| yanick_ | calum, I'll try.... | 00:52 |
| king11 | newboon2age: well that is good because i use repositories for everything i want to install on my ubuntu computer or i manually do it through terminal | 00:53 |
| porksoda | sille777, Not to be funny, but you will find grub developers and the like in #grub. They have fixed me up numerous times. | 00:53 |
| porksoda | sille777, They are more active than not nowadays with the release of grub2 etc | 00:54 |
| sille777 | porksoda, thanks for future reference, but the grub issue is fixed... | 00:54 |
| porksoda | sille777, cool | 00:54 |
| sille777 | porksoda, my issue now is ubuntu is trying to mount a partition that no longer exsists | 00:55 |
| newboon2age | king11: so really the main times we are vulnerable is when we download something manually off of another web site. if someone really was trying to get us they'd have to replace a file in a repository or something like that. The chances are not high. | 00:55 |
| Lxndr | I have a deep red 'caution' sign on the upper right side of my desktop. When I click it to investigate, it says that my update information is outdated. When I try to fix this, I get the following error: "Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead." What do I do to stop this error message form appearing? | 00:55 |
| porksoda | So does any one recall any bugs filed or the like for fans going nuts after the lucid upgrade. My fan will not stop running fast,, all day long. | 00:55 |
| porksoda | Just curious is someone can toss me a shortcut before I get involved in lm-sensors and the like | 00:56 |
| swimmer1 | any way to export the links to radio streams from rhythmbox to a seperate file? | 00:56 |
| newboon2age | king11: Its still good for us to start thinking about security and learning how to guard. Using your built-in firewall ufw (uncomplicated fire wall) for example. There's a gui for it, i think its called firestarter or something | 00:58 |
| porksoda | sille777, Check your /etc/fstab for your windows partition? | 00:58 |
| calum | newboon2age:Don't forget gufw | 00:58 |
| king11 | newboon2age: do you think if linux was more main stream, as in as used by the world like windows and not defined to a select community of users like us, that hackers would make malware exploits and other things to attack ubuntu or linux repositories | 00:58 |

| amabo | i just downloaded the firefox 4.0 beta but i have no clue how to install it - any help? | 00:58 |
| andrea_ | hola | 00:59 |
| newboon2age | king11: if people log onto you machine they can do damage that way. yes, calum reminds me its called gufw. | 00:59 |
| chalcedny | king11 you sound like someone that needs re-training | 00:59 |
| newboon2age | king11: yes I think so. But in a way that will be a good problem to have because it will mean we are succeeding. | 00:59 |
| kunji | Hey there, could someone let me know how to set up the gtk+ libraries, I have Eclipse (Galileo) installed on 10.04 and am trying to set up the gtk+ libraries. I'm not sure if they're installed but not linked to Eclipse properly or if they aren't at all, I'm quite the noob at C++. | 01:00 |
| newboon2age | king11: even at worst we will still be in WAAYYYY better position than | 01:00 |

| amyleto | okay... unrelated to previous stuff... how do i get DVD playback to work? I installed the ubuntu restriced extras, but playback still doesn't work. Are the available codecs just not up to date? | 01:00 |
| flashkidd | !ping | 01:00 |
| ubottu | pong | 01:00 |
| king11 | newboon2age: yeah but i believe in a couple of years linux will over take windows and mac os world wide as in everthing you start to see that people use is becoming more linux running in the back ground, like cell phones and tablet computers | 01:01 |
| newboon2age | king11: windoze. because the way Linux is designed is much more secure to begin w/ but if someone guesses your root password you can still be in trouble, so its something to bear in mind. | 01:01 |
| king11 | chalcedny: re-training in what? | 01:01 |
| EpicCyndaquil | I zoomed in an image in firefox. Ubuntu logged me out. What the hell happened? | 01:01 |
| Dunas | Popped in the LiveDVD, it did the 'loading' thing, then blackscreened and my monitor said it wasn't receiving input. Ubuntu 10.04 x64 LiveDVD, Ati Radon HD5770. Anyone got any advice? | 01:01 |
| porksoda | EpicCyndaquil, No offense,, Lol | 01:01 |
| yanick_ | calum, adobe.com doesn't have a .deb package for Ubuntu amd64 | 01:02 |
| EpicCyndaquil | porksoda: it wasn't porn, I sware :P | 01:02 |
| Norcimo5 | lol | 01:02 |
| king11 | newboon2age: well the good thing is that most people that see me run linux don't understand it and only notice the eye candy like the stuff you do with compiz for more productivity on your computer | 01:02 |
| yanick_ | calum, I did "sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-installer" ... restarted Chromium ... and (!!!) Flash 9 is still there, WTF? | 01:02 |
| porksoda | EpicCyndaquil, Hey, you're talking slick to 10w-30 heh | 01:02 |
| yanick_ | heh | 01:02 |
| EpicCyndaquil | but in all seriousness, what happened? | 01:03 |
| yanick_ | sorry for the bad tongue... | 01:03 |
| chalcedny | KING11 you sound more interested in breaking things | 01:03 |
| sille777 | porksoda, just found it... editing it... | 01:03 |
| yanick_ | I'm just pissed at Chromium + Ubuntu right now | 01:03 |
| calum | yanick_:Oh yeah, sorry it has a .bin or a .run I think and I have had problems with flash on x64 bit. It might be because of 64 bit. | 01:03 |
| * feurig consideres asking the night shift. | 01:03 | |
| ohzie | porksoda, I like you already. My old Volvo used that. | 01:03 |
| newboon2age | feurig: i know this isn't very satisfiying but I do see that Atmel has their support center at http://support.atmel.no/bin/customer Since they are actively recommending Ubuntu chances are reasonable that someone there has figured this out... | 01:03 |
| wilton | #rio | 01:03 |
| porksoda | sille777, Careful,, Make a backup of it,, in case you screw something up | 01:03 |
| wilton | @rio | 01:03 |
| king11 | newboon2age: lol, no not like that i am more interested ubuntu as ubuntu changed my life and i love it for that | 01:03 |
| yanick_ | calum, that doesn't explain why Chromium have a Flash 9 by default | 01:03 |
| * sille777 is keeping fingers crossed....bbl | 01:04 | |
| sille777 | porksoda, Yep I backed it up | 01:04 |
| king11 | chalcedny: lol, no not like that i am more interested ubuntu as ubuntu changed my life and i love it for that | 01:04 |
| calum | yanick_:That version of chromium was probably released before flash 10 was out | 01:04 |
| duckslammer | hello! what software is recommende for downloading from a video camera and editing the file? | 01:04 |
| yanick_ | calum, the problem is that Chromium is NOT using Ubuntu's installed flash plugin | 01:04 |
| feurig | newboon2age: those people coundnt produce source code that compiled outside of the blessed platform for the avr32 platform for 2 years. | 01:04 |
| newboon2age | king11: mine too. But we are going too off topic for the ubuntu support channel. For future meandering conversations see #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:04 |
| yanick_ | calum, I installed it last may... | 01:04 |
| feurig | they make good processors but without the community atmel is pretty windows bound. | 01:05 |
| newboon2age | feurig: sorry to hear that... | 01:05 |
| feurig | me too. | 01:05 |
| king11 | newboon2age: okay, well thanks again for the information on ubuntu and security | 01:05 |
| kunji | duckslammer: the filebrowser should be just fine for getting the video onto the computer, video editing, well, I've never tried out any video editing on linux. | 01:06 |
| Norcimo5 | i have ubuntu 10.4 (x86) on my laptop (Inspiron 9400 w nvidia go 7900gs vid card) , and after awhile i start getting flickering. I know its happening every time the nvidia driver's powermizer switches back and forth between performance levels. Any way to resolve the flickering? | 01:06 |
| calum | yanick_:Only way I can think might solve it is using the .bin file from adobe and installing it in chrome. Sorry if I can't help more but I don't use chrome | 01:06 |
| porksoda | ohzie, Old Volvo? Blasphemy, volvos may age,, but they never get old. ;) | 01:06 |
| duckslammer | i plugged it in and it isn't being recogniaed - so how do i use the file browser to download? | 01:06 |
| mediacenter | I have an acer aspire 3810TZ and was running Windows Vista Home Premium came with wireless N built in, running Unbuntu 10.4 I get 1mb per second or unknown. | 01:06 |
| newboon2age | king11: sure, no prob. I'm still a newbie, so others can fill you in with more detail. Also see forums.ubuntu.com | 01:06 |
| * porksoda is a proud Volvo owner. It's a cult thing | 01:06 | |
| amabo | i just downloaded the firefox 4.0 beta but i have no clue how to install it - any help? | 01:06 |
| king11 | newboon2age: yeah i learned a lot off of ubuntu forums, especially when i first was installing ubuntu on an external hard drive | 01:07 |
| Devrethman | How do I change the default application to open things? want to open .ape files with ape, not movie player. | 01:07 |
| kunji | duckslammer: try turning the video camera off and on to see if it will recognize it, beyond that I'm not much help since that always worked out for me, sorry, good luck, someone else might know. | 01:07 |
| feurig | porksoda: now all you have to do is move to eugene, oregon. | 01:08 |
| porksoda | feurig, What is that the Volvo capital? | 01:09 |
| newboon2age | feurig: here are a few other resources that might help. Obviously forums.ubuntu.com. also you can ask the developers at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+addquestion OR | 01:10 |
| kunji | amabo: what type of file is the download? | 01:10 |

| duckslammer | can anyone help with a USB devce not being recognized issue? | 01:11 |
| porksoda | sille777, I should have asked,, are you sure the partition is actually gone? Or did you just remove it from grub.cfg? | 01:11 |
| EpicCyndaquil | what's the command to show hardware via terminal (such as graphics card) | 01:11 |

| sille777 | porksoda, I know its gone... I did a partition clone to a new drive.... the old drive is dual boot with windows and the new will be ubuntu only | 01:13 |

| sille777 | porksoda, I used gedit to manual edit the fstab | 01:13 |
| newboon2age | feurig: purchasing canonical support isn't too expensive either. Sometimes for really tough specifc questions i think it might be worth it. For one year £ 104.21 http://shop.canonical.com/product_info.php?products_id=668 | 01:14 |
| kunji | amabo: So first the file needs to be extracted, this should be helpful http://how-to.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_untar_a_tar_file_or_gzip-bz2_tar_file | 01:14 |
| * feurig thinks my 3 year ubuntu experiment is coming to a close and looks on ebay for another mac laptop. | 01:15 | |
| calum | amabo:Right click the tar.bz2 file and click extract here, then it should extract to where it is downloaded | 01:15 |
| porksoda | sille777, Ok,, odd enough. I would have imagined ubuntu would have detected the missing partition and removed it from fstab | 01:15 |
| * porksoda shrugs | 01:15 | |
| feurig | at least I know apple hates embedded developers. | 01:15 |
| newboon2age | feurig: when i think about the fact that's how much it would cost me just to buy winduhz, it kinda puts it in perspective... | 01:15 |

| a16BitSoft | kunji - never used SourceForge for my game projects - do you recommend it? | 01:38 |
| kunji | Lekter: you mean the wubi method where is is installed within windows (kind of)? | 01:38 |
| feurig | Lekter: just install it on a disk using another machine | 01:38 |
| lunchigoolgy | switch10_ yes | 01:38 |
| === karthik is now known as Guest86789 | ||
| switch10_ | aakside, you will have to reinstall grub from a live cd. There are many tutorials out there... | 01:39 |

| Lekter | kunji: wubi is like a virtual machine? (sorry for my english) | 01:41 |
| lunchigoolgy | switch10_ i've tried that method about 5 times and everytime I've bricked the install because the config isn't generated until the restart and then the driver fails | 01:41 |
| lunchigoolgy | I'm not that attached to this install - i'll just whipe this one and try that and see what happens | 01:42 |
| switch10_ | lunchigoolgy, hmm, that is odd. Im not too sure jolicloud will fix your problem, but try the live USB and see. | 01:42 |
| kunji | Lekter: not really, it installs it sort of like a program in terms of installation and removal, but acts as a dual-booting os. http://wubi-installer.org/ | 01:43 |
| lunchigoolgy | switch10_ I'm trying to be optimistic seeming 10 is listed as supported | 01:44 |

| LJRuff | gasull, boot up with your Live CD and do it via that. | 02:33 |
| infid | switch10_: ifconfig just says 'lo', 'wlan0' and 'wmaster0' | 02:33 |

| edbian | hiexpo, Great! :) | 02:34 |
| switch10_ | infid, are all your cables plugged in and secure? (seriously :)) | 02:34 |
| infid | switch10_: yes and i'm using another computer on my network right now | 02:34 |
| infid | to be on irc | 02:34 |
| infid | my laptop is what wont connect, and it's wireless | 02:34 |
| hiexpo | edbian, kool | 02:34 |
| gasull | LJRuff: I have the Alternate Installation CD for Ubuntu 10.04. Is that valid? | 02:35 |
| infid | it was connected but i unplugged my router to mvoe it and now it wont work | 02:35 |
| lfitz | edbian: http://pastebin.com/v36w4xPc is the error on satellite | 02:35 |
| switch10_ | infid, can you ping another machine on your LAN? | 02:35 |
| infid | nope | 02:35 |
| LJRuff | gasull, I've never used it. Does it provide at least a live CLI? | 02:35 |
| edbian | lfitz, You can't mount any of them? | 02:35 |
| infid | nor can i ping my laptop from other computers | 02:35 |
| lfitz | edbian: nope | 02:35 |
| switch10_ | infid, and this is a wireless interface? | 02:36 |
| edbian | same response everywhere? | 02:36 |
| infid | switch10_: yes | 02:36 |
| gasull | LJRuff: I couldn't find it there and that's why I ask. I'm trying with a rescue disk I have. But I don't know how to mount the drive where GRUB is. | 02:36 |
| thune3 | yanick_: i'm working on it, i just need to find the right command, you have your alternatives set to libswfdecmozilla.so | 02:36 |
| switch10_ | infid does iwconfig list it? | 02:36 |
| infid | switch10_: i think i need to bring up the password prompt thing for my networking because usually when i disconnect it prompts me again but my laptop didnt prompt me again, how can i get that up? | 02:36 |
| RickYIN | hello, everyone. is there anybody could help me to set up the matlab mode in gnu emacs? thanks a lot | 02:37 |
| DanDare | gasull, you can boot using the Ubuntu Live-CD? It works ? | 02:37 |
| lfitz | edbian: yes | 02:37 |
| yanick_ | thune3, I have two laptops with just about the same configs.... the first is reporting flash 10, the other flash 9... I don't know why | 02:37 |
| infid | switch10_: iwlist says lo no wireless extensions, wmaster0 no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11abg ESSID:... | 02:37 |
| LJRuff | gasull, GRUB is on the HDD where you installed ubuntu in the unnumbered partition. (/dev/sda) | 02:37 |
| infid | switch10_: 'Access Point: Not-associated' | 02:37 |
| edbian | lfitz, Does your user on the client have read permissions on the folders your sharing on the server? (permissions by UID not name) | 02:37 |
| DanDare | anyway, grub2 its what he have | 02:38 |
| Wildbat|GER_GOAL | gasull, what version of ubuntu are you using? | 02:38 |
| hiexpo | !xcfe | 02:38 |
| gasull | DanDare: What's the Ubuntu Live CD? | 02:38 |
| switch10_ | infid i dont use the GUI network manager so im not quite sure. you can do it from the CL: iwconfig essid "your essid" && sudo iwconfig enc "key" | 02:38 |
| heathen | My ubuntu takes up all of a 500G disk on one partition with a 5G swap file. How do I shrink the partition so I can put another OS on it? | 02:39 |
| switch10_ | without the "" | 02:39 |
| DanDare | gasull, it´s the ubuntu install disk.. you can boot using it without installing stuff on computer, right ? | 02:39 |
| infid | switch10_: what do i put for key? | 02:39 |

| LJRuff | !fdisk | heathen | 02:39 |
| gasull | LJRuff: the rescue CD I have is quite old. It doesn't find anything with ls /dev/sd* just with /dev/hd* That's probably wrong. | 02:39 |
| pdk | heathen the ubuntu install disk would have offered you a step to edit partitions | 02:39 |
| switch10_ | infid, your key, if you have a wep key | 02:39 |
| LJRuff | heathen, use fdisk or gparted | 02:39 |
| pdk | dunno how much itd help but | 02:39 |
| switch10_ | infid otherwise forget that part | 02:39 |
| heathen | LJRuff: but I don't want to destroy the partition already there | 02:39 |
| gasull | Wildbat|GER_GOAL: Trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 but it won't boot after installing. | 02:40 |
| Dr_Willis | gasull: that would be a very old rescue cd. :) you may want to track down a newer cd. It proberly dosent have support for ext4 either | 02:40 |
| infid | switch10_: i use wpa2, do i put enc wpa2? | 02:40 |
| gasull | DanDare: OK, I'll try that | 02:40 |
| LJRuff | headyadmin, http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_resizing_ext3_partitions | 02:40 |
| pdk | actually nother dumb q | 02:40 |
| Wildbat|GER_GOAL | !grub2 | gasull, follow the recover from LiveCD | 02:40 |
| ubottu | gasull, follow the recover from LiveCD: 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 | 02:40 |
| lfitz | edbian: im not sure about the permissions | 02:40 |
| lfitz | but following a new guide, i get this error | 02:41 |
| pdk | i have a box i installed 10.04 on recently and i dont know what sort of video card it has or if its just onboard video | 02:41 |
| lfitz | exportfs: Warning: /exports does not support NFS export. | 02:41 |
| switch10_ | infid check the man pages or online. I have always used the unsafe wep =) | 02:41 |
| DanDare | gasull, its usefull because setting boot options from the live sessions is easier... so its good to make a test for the boot parameters, if they will work or not | 02:41 |
| pdk | so i was wondering where i'd go/what i'd type to get ubuntu to tell me what type of card it is so i can go look for drivers | 02:41 |
| lfitz | /exports has all the other directives and fsid=0 | 02:41 |
| lfitz | modprobe nfs says fatal nfs module not found | 02:41 |
| edbian | lfitz, ls -la /exports | 02:41 |

| king313 | Hi. I'm trying to manually create a crypted system in my laptop. I'm new doing this without the "guided" option and I have some doubts | 02:42 |
| Dr_Willis | pdk: 'hardinfo' tool. or 'lspci | grep vga' (or was it grep VGA) | 02:42 |
| slidinghorn | pdk, lspci should show you what you're looking for | 02:42 |
| king313 | the first one is: I have to do the /boot partition bootable? | 02:42 |
| pdk | hmmm | 02:42 |
| pdk | and i can alt+f2 hardinfo | 02:42 |
| king313 | it's sounds pretty stupid, but I don't know if I have to do this | 02:42 |
| king313 | I have a Win operating system too in the HD | 02:42 |
| switch10_ | infid try online. search: iwconfig wpa2 | 02:42 |
| Dr_Willis | pdk: its a gui app. you will need to instal hardinfo. its not installed by default | 02:42 |
| gasull | DanDare: so what you're telling me to try is this, right?: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Changing%20the%20CD%27s%20Default%20Boot%20Options | 02:42 |
| king313 | with him bootable partition | 02:42 |
| prince_jammys | lfitz: have you installed nfs-kernel-server? | 02:43 |
| infid | switch10_: iwconfig essid "my essid" says unknown command "my essid" | 02:43 |
| lfitz | edbian: http://pastebin.com/RjTfGMdu | 02:43 |
| heathen | Ok, I just entered sudo gparted and gave my password and it says <username> is not in sudoers file. This incident will be reported. So I entered sudo visudo, same thing. | 02:43 |
| lfitz | iwconfig wlan0 essid, perhaps? | 02:43 |
| prince_jammys | infid: missing device | 02:43 |
| DanDare | gasull, yeah. Use the same CD you used to install to HD | 02:43 |
| prince_jammys | s/device/interface name/ | 02:43 |
| Dr_Willis | heathen: are you using the user you made at install time? or some other user you added later? | 02:43 |
| switch10_ | infid =) use "your essid" the name of your access point | 02:43 |
| heathen | added later | 02:43 |
| pdk | Dr_Willis can i assume it's in apt | 02:44 |
| Dr_Willis | heathen: thats why then. | 02:44 |
| Dr_Willis | !info hardinfo | 02:44 |
| ubottu | hardinfo (source: hardinfo): Displays system information. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.1-1.1ubuntu2 (lucid), package size 240 kB, installed size 684 kB | 02:44 |
| infid | switch10_: i know, i did | 02:44 |
| iiilx_ | would anyone happen to know how to access a secondary harddrive on my computer via command line and or python script? | 02:44 |
| thune3 | yanick_: see if "sudo update-alternatives --config flash" gives you alternatives | 02:44 |
| * heathen switchin users | 02:44 | |
| Dr_Willis | iiilx_: mount it to some location, then access it as you would any other filesystem. | 02:44 |
| DanDare | gasull. Also checked the integrity of the downloaded Ubuntu image? It can be corrupted bits | 02:44 |
| iiilx_ | Dr_Willis, thanks! | 02:44 |
| edbian | lfitz, The permissions are fine. On the parent of /exports, /exports itself, and the subfolders of /exports the permissions allow anyone to read and execute... I'm thinking | 02:44 |
| gasull | DanDare: so I press F6 there, choose acpi=off and boot from first hard disk, right? | 02:45 |
| lfitz | prince_jammys: yea i installed nfs-kernel-server | 02:45 |
| Wavesonics | would it be in an error log or something if the server shutdown due to heat? | 02:45 |
| infid | switch10_: iwlist scan says wlan0 no scan results | 02:45 |
| edbian | lfitz, Can you copy and paste the mount attempt on a client? | 02:45 |
| yanick_ | thune3, nope | 02:45 |
| edbian | lfitz, The command you give and the errors? | 02:45 |
| switch10_ | infid, oh yeah it should be: iwconfig wlan0 essid ... | 02:45 |
| DanDare | gasull, well I never did this... setting parameters from CD boot to the HD boot... not sure if it works but you can try it | 02:45 |
| gasull | DanDare: booting right as described above | 02:45 |
| edbian | lfitz, Sorry, asking for so much info. This is a strange problem | 02:45 |
| lfitz | http://pastebin.com/v36w4xPc | 02:45 |
| lfitz | edbian: no worries, thanks for the help! | 02:46 |
| infid | switch10_: that command didnt error but i still have no network connection | 02:46 |
| infid | switch10_: i'm just gonna reboot, it's hpoeless :( | 02:46 |
| infid | thanks for trying | 02:46 |
| lfitz | iwconfig wlan0 up infid | 02:46 |
| lfitz | did you do that? | 02:46 |
| infid | tried that | 02:46 |
| LJRuff | !enter | infid | 02:47 |
| ubottu | infid: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 02:47 |
| infid | lfitz: that just said 'unknowng command "up" | 02:47 |
| edbian | infid, ifup, not up | 02:47 |
| infid | i'm not using enter as punctuation. i'm realizing that i had more to say later :/ | 02:47 |
| lfitz | yea | 02:47 |
| lfitz | ifconfig wlan0 up | 02:47 |
| lfitz | with an f | 02:47 |
| lfitz | a | 02:47 |

| peepsalot | anyone using the google chrome binaries from google instead of chromium in the ubuntu repositories? is there much difference? | 02:48 |
| infid | lfitz: yeah i tried that before, it runs but doesnt get networking up | 02:48 |
| edbian | infid, It's a bot programmed to yell if you press enter too quickly ;) | 02:48 |
| pdk | hm | 02:48 |
| infid | i'll try not to | 02:48 |
| pdk | if its saying the opengl render is "software rasterizer" i take it it's rendering on the cpu? | 02:48 |
| lfitz | prince_jammys: mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting sheeva:/lfitz | 02:49 |
| prince_jammys | lfitz: that's better :) | 02:49 |
| switch10_ | infid ignore it... some people just want something to do. | 02:49 |
| prince_jammys | that's the path you need to use. | 02:49 |
| qkslvrwolf | I appear to have this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-dfsg-5.1/+bug/444479 | 02:49 |
| munnecke | I just did a server install, SSH and Apache working OK, but APT-GET returns "failed to fetch" and "failed to connect". Any pointers? | 02:49 |
| lfitz | oh! allow hosts! | 02:49 |
| edbian | lfitz, Well there's your problem! Try using the IP address instead of hostname in /etc/exports | 02:50 |
| edbian | lfitz, and then re exportfs -va | 02:50 |
| qkslvrwolf | but I have tried the suggested solutions, have mysql at the latest update, and have even removed the mysql profile from apparmor | 02:50 |
| qkslvrwolf | all to no avail. | 02:50 |
| lfitz | no, i think its /ets/hosts.allow on sheeva | 02:50 |
| qkslvrwolf | any idea for how to get mysql running again? | 02:50 |
| qkslvrwolf | it won't work. | 02:50 |
| lfitz | well, not 'no', exactly, but i think thats where i will start | 02:50 |
| edbian | lfitz, Oh, maybe. Although if that blocked it I don't think nfs would have been able to identify the error so clearly | 02:50 |
| thune3 | yanick_: all your alternatives are set to swfdec. Everything else looks ok. Maybe uninstall swfdec and reinstall flash plugin | 02:51 |
| infid | switch10_: sure enough, i reboot and networking on my laptop works again | 02:52 |
| infid | switch10_: it has to be some ubuntu bug | 02:52 |
| edbian | lfitz, Did you get it? | 02:53 |
| heathen | I don't have an internet connection. Can I install gparted from the ubuntu-10.04 DVD? | 02:53 |
| lfitz | not yet :/ | 02:53 |
| switch10_ | infid, it very well could be. | 02:54 |
| heathen | I mean, not for the PC in question ;) | 02:54 |
| qkslvrwolf | never mind | 02:54 |
| lfitz | edbian: i think this is the real error: 'modprobe nfs' FATAL: Module nfs not found. | 02:54 |
| lfitz | unless there actually is no module name nfs | 02:54 |
| edbian | lfitz, Yes! I agree. Do you have nfs-server installed on the server? | 02:54 |
| prince_jammys | heathen: gparted comes with a ubuntu live cd, if i remember right. | 02:54 |
| lfitz | edbian: yes | 02:54 |
| edbian | lfitz, No no, there is an nfs module | 02:55 |
| lfitz | edbian: nfs-kernel-server | 02:55 |
| switch10_ | infid, i forgot about this, you can restart networking with: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 02:55 |
| edbian | lfitz, yeah, that's the package. No errors from that? | 02:55 |
| lfitz | edbian: no | 02:55 |
| edbian | lfitz, service nfs start | 02:55 |
| edbian | lfitz, /etc/init.d/nfs restart | 02:55 |

| switch10_ | troy: your hardware does not support hibernation/standby mode, and in power management, the machine is set to go to one of those modes when idle | 02:56 |
| lfitz | edbian: http://pastebin.com/WzR4Utzv | 02:57 |
| yanick_ | thune3, so far so good, I uninstalled swfdec and flashplugin-installer, then install flashplugin-installer, and now Chromium reports flash 10 | 02:57 |
| HelpImDrowing | OK I gave up on FREENAS and OPENFILER - if I just want to make a basic file server to learn about Linux - what should I use - Ubuntu Server- or alternate install Ubunto cd? Need something lightweight | 02:57 |
| edbian | lfitz, export different folders. Not sure why /exports is such a bad idea! | 02:57 |
| lfitz | i tried with //home | 02:57 |
| troy | switch10_, Thanks. I'll look for the hibernation/standby option & disable it. | 02:57 |

| switch10_ | HelpImDrowing: "Is Not X" | 02:58 |
| edbian | lfitz, It could be | 02:58 |
| lfitz | is there a way to upgrade the kernel? | 02:58 |
| lfitz | only the kernel? | 02:58 |
| yanick_ | thune3, it works | 02:58 |
| paissad | i would like to send a file via command line , i did --> mail -s "subject" -t "user@mail.com" -a file_to_send.log <-- | 02:58 |
| paissad | but that does not work :/ | 02:58 |
| edbian | lfitz, That's a strange error. I dont' know how to upgrade the kernel. I'm sure you can though. Assuming there is a newer one out | 02:58 |
| switch10_ | HelpImDrowing: a cli only distro, aimed at the new user | 02:58 |
| paissad | where am i wrong ? | 02:58 |
| yanick_ | thune3, now, all I need is to find the blog where I need to activate something so Chrome can send mouse and kb events to flash :) | 02:58 |
| yanick_ | thune3, thank you | 02:59 |
| alteregoa | !call k7erq | 02:59 |
| HelpImDrowing | Well - I think I need some sort of GUI - I just dont need Ubuntu full desktop | 02:59 |
| HelpImDrowing | Is it hard to load Ubuntu Server and then load some windows manager? | 02:59 |
| thune3 | yanick_: np. good luck with the other problem, i'm clueless on that one. | 03:00 |
| switch10_ | HelpImDrowing: no, but you might be better off going with something like xubuntu | 03:00 |
| heathen | I notice from filesystem.manifest on the DVD, gparted is included. So how do I install it w/o going onto the web? | 03:00 |
| HelpImDrowing | How about Lbuntu - its supposed to be light that Xbuntu - but not supported right? | 03:01 |
| mek8630 | Has anyone else had this problem, I downloaded a file with transmission and it it is set to go to the downloads folder, when the file got done downloading the file wasn't in the downloads and was no where to be found. I am not sure where it went? | 03:01 |
| switch10_ | HelpImDrowing: I've heard good things, never used it myself though... | 03:01 |
| gasull | Wildbat|GER_GOAL, DanDare, Dr_Willis: I'm following the rescue installation option in the Alternate Installation CD. I found that there's no /boot/grub/menu.lst file. Even after choosing the option "Reinstall GRUB boot loader" there's no menu.lst file there. | 03:01 |
| HelpImDrowing | I will give it a shot if not I will fall back to Xbuntu | 03:02 |
| newboon2age | HelpImDrowing: note there is a #lubuntu channel. | 03:02 |
| fiver22 | mek8630: if the file is still in Transmission r-click and select 'open folder' | 03:02 |
| DanDare | gasull, grub2 is what you have, not grub | 03:03 |
| DanDare | and grub2 is a pain the ass to configure :p IMO | 03:03 |
| heathen | How do I tell apt-get to get files from the DVD and not on the web? | 03:03 |
| mek8630 | fiver22: did that and when it would open it wasn't there its the weirdest thing | 03:03 |
| newboon2age | HelpImDrowing: i used xubuntu prior to moving to ubuntu. It was okay if a little quirky. Ubuntu definitely has way more support than any of the derivatives, but i know the Lubuntu folks are extremely dedicated. | 03:03 |
| alteregoa | sudo apt get install darmok | 03:04 |
| alteregoa | sudo apt get install ubuntu-tamarian | 03:04 |
| codebrainz | DanDare, so agree, it's like they started a re-write and then forgot that it needed to be configured by people and left that whole bit out | 03:04 |
| inktri | i've got a wireless network that is out of range by about 20 m. what device would i use to extend its range? a repeater? also, the network is a campus network which assigns an IP after you login via an HTTP form... is it still possible to use a repeater or whatever in this case? | 03:04 |
| gasull | DanDare: ls /boot/grub2/ says not found | 03:04 |
| alteregoa | sudo apt-get install tanagra | 03:05 |
| gasull | DanDare: I see. it should be in /etc | 03:05 |
| fiver22 | mek8630: is it possible that you set the file to hidden somehow? Try ctrl+H -also is Transmission still set to put files in your Dl folder (make sure it's not just .torrents, but the data as well. | 03:05 |
| HelpImDrowing | I read that software raid like from motherboards or Syba sata cars was unreliable - is there someway Ubuntu server can create a raid using the same cards thats better? | 03:06 |
| prince_jammys | heathen: see if 'Software Sources' has a CD/DVD option, and if so, turn it on. | 03:06 |
| DrkStr | hello all | 03:07 |
| heathen | prince_jammys: Software Sources? Where's that? | 03:07 |
| heathen | prince_jammys: OK, got it ;) | 03:08 |
| prince_jammys | cool. | 03:09 |
| mek8630 | fiver22: nope everything is the way it is spose to be. | 03:10 |
| mek8630 | fiver22: not sure why this happened, it wasn't actually me though it was my dad I am just trying to find out for him. I have tried everything you have said before now and I have never heard of this happening, he said he downloaded it again with a different torrent client and it was in there when it got done | 03:11 |
| jase21 | @mek8630 What is your problem? | 03:11 |
| fiver22 | mek8630: really not sure, then. Possible the file got deleted by your dad (can be done via r-click in Transmission? | 03:12 |
| mek8630 | jase21: my dad downloaded a file with transmission and when the file was done he went to downloads and it wasn't there, he went to transmission and made sure it was set to go to downloads and it was. He never found it. | 03:12 |
| mek8630 | fiver22: that is what i think, I think he was just messin around and maybe accidently deleted it | 03:12 |
| mek8630 | fiver22: swears he didn't though :) | 03:13 |
| Takyoji_ | Any way to directly upgrade to 10.04 from 9.04, rather than having to upgrade to 9.10 first? | 03:13 |
| jase21 | Right click the torrent file inside the transmission and choose open folder | 03:13 |
| fiver22 | mek8630: Occam's razor ;) | 03:13 |
| === rootusr is now known as tutuxg | ||
| mek8630 | jase21: yeah we did all that | 03:13 |
| mek8630 | jase21: I think he just accidently deleted it | 03:13 |
| jase21 | oh | 03:14 |
| jase21 | did you search it? | 03:14 |
| mek8630 | yeah | 03:14 |
| mek8630 | he is still new though | 03:14 |
| mek8630 | he says he didnt | 03:14 |

| doublebirdstrike | hey guys. im in a bit of a problem. i need a way for the installation to immediately put up a ssh so that i may continue the install that way | 03:14 |
| doublebirdstrike | you see i lost the vga cable i use on my 'server' :( | 03:15 |
| jase21 | ssh-keygen | 03:15 |
| jase21 | @doublebirdstrike | 03:15 |
| mek8630 | fiver22: what is occam's razor? | 03:16 |
| doublebirdstrike | well i know how to use ssh. my problem is basically have no access to the computer i wish to install ubuntu on. i can put a CD in it, and that cd will boot | 03:16 |
| DrkStr | Hello all ...can anyone point me in a direction of a simple language to learn first? Python? | 03:16 |
| prince_jammys | DrkStr: sure. | 03:17 |
| jase21 | mek8630: he might have accidentally deleted it. You can show him an example & not to repeat it again | 03:17 |
| === jeff_ is now known as Guest14783 | ||
| jase21 | DrkStr: Python is ok. You can also consider learning Ruby. | 03:17 |
| doublebirdstrike | so i figured it would be okay if the installer could somehow immediately put up an ssh server | 03:17 |
| === billhome is now known as bill2or3 | ||
| doublebirdstrike | drkstr: if you go slow C is a good language to learn. | 03:18 |
| DrkStr | Is Ruby easier to learn | 03:18 |
| prince_jammys | not particularly, no. | 03:18 |
| doublebirdstrike | its not 'hard' as in syntax, its 'hard' as in programming concepts that would follow you in any language | 03:18 |
| jase21 | yes | 03:18 |
| cfedde | DrkStr: programming is hard. Any one who tells you otherwise is trying to sell you something. | 03:18 |
| doublebirdstrike | besides, c is very flexible | 03:18 |
| DrkStr | I understand that | 03:18 |
| DrkStr | I'm wanting to start out simple | 03:19 |
| doublebirdstrike | the hardest part about programming is the concepts. | 03:19 |
| jase21 | It has the nice features from many languages and especially lisp which makes it great. | 03:19 |
| DrkStr | or as simple as I can | 03:19 |
| prince_jammys | DrkStr: ask at ##programming | 03:19 |
| doublebirdstrike | if you want to start out simple try LOGO :P | 03:19 |
| cfedde | DrkStr: ruby is a fine place to start. | 03:19 |
| DrkStr | just to develop a solid programing foundation | 03:19 |
| jase21 | LOGO is ok for kids | 03:19 |
| cfedde | DrkStr: C is also pretty easy in the small scale. | 03:19 |
| jase21 | Its a customized version of LISP | 03:19 |
| EpicCyndaquil | I have a Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller, any drivers for that? I'm currently getting random lines on my screen (think old analog TV, but not as frequent) and just had a crash from expanding an image in firefox. | 03:20 |
| DrkStr | Ok thanks all | 03:20 |
| === dkulchenko_ is now known as dkulchenko | ||
| jase21 | DrkStr: Welcome | 03:20 |
| cfedde | programming only gets hard when you get into tasks that you have to break down into smaller pieces. | 03:20 |
| fiver22 | mek8630: slightly off topic but essentially it means that the simplest explanation is usually the correct one | 03:21 |
| mek8630 | alrighty well thanks for everyones time | 03:21 |

| Daevol | Hey all, having some GParted trouble with my Ubuntu/XP laptop | 03:26 |
| bodzilla | Daevol, whats the trouble | 03:27 |
| Daevol | I have an extended partition that won't resize; all the unallocated space is inside it, and I want to make a NTFS partition outside the extended partition larger | 03:27 |
| bodzilla | Daevol, are you using a live cd version | 03:28 |
| Hiram | Hi | 03:28 |
| Daevol | bodzilla: yes | 03:28 |
| bodzilla | Daevol, have you turned off the swap | 03:28 |
| Daevol | bodzilla: I think? None of the partitions were mounted | 03:28 |
| bodzilla | Daevol, you right click on swap to turn it off | 03:28 |
| jase21 | I think you can't resize an extended partition unless its empty | 03:29 |
| Hiram | I have a problem, I'm using ubuntu 10.04 64 bits, but I want install a program 32 bits, but I need a libstdc++5 | 03:29 |
| Daevol | bodzilla: thanks, i'll try that | 03:29 |
| === eledesmar_ is now known as eledesmar | ||
| Daevol | jase21: really? That's not what I've heard elsewhere | 03:30 |
| Hiram | I install libstdc++5 64bits version, but the program need 32 bit | 03:30 |
| bodzilla | jase21, any partition will resize generally if there is room | 03:30 |
| jase21 | ok | 03:30 |
| Hiram | how can I do to install the program? | 03:30 |
| Daevol | Okay, going offline now to play with gparted. | 03:30 |
| switch10_ | Hiram: you would have to force architecture, | 03:31 |
| Hiram | how can I do that? | 03:31 |
| marcos_ | dpkg -i -f | 03:32 |
| switch10_ | Hiram: read this first though... http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Debian/2008-03/msg00373.html | 03:32 |

| craigbass1976 | I'v eused testdisk to try and recover some files that lived on an ntfs partition. I wiped this partition and installed linux. Doing a deep scan, I cna see the partition, but when I hit P to list files, I get "Can't open filesystem. Filesystem seems damaged." Is that the sound of my goose cooking? | 03:38 |
| marcosroriz | I allways preffer downloading standalone eclipse releases, but are there any advantage on using the one that is provided by the pkg system (apt-get/yum/etc)? | 03:39 |
| bodzilla | craigbass1976, test disk and recovery is best done when not overwritten with a new OS, I think your cooked, but only you can know | 03:40 |
| Hiram | if I downloand libstdc++ 64bits version say | 03:41 |
| gasull | Wildbat|GER_GOAL, DanDare, Dr_Willis: I've been trying altering different things in the GRUB configuration with the rescue installation option in the Alternate Installation CD, like "acpi=off noapic". No luck. Most probably it's something there. But how can I know? Thanks. | 03:41 |
| tim | Does anybody have any experience with Boxee? I'm having problems with the notification sounds in Lucid. Any suggestions? | 03:41 |
| Hiram | another error don´t remember | 03:41 |
| craigbass1976 | bodzilla, that was my feeling... It happened a couple months ago, and I never booted again, think I might be able to recover some stuff when I got round to it. Oh well... | 03:41 |
| un214 | so I got my system stabilized by using sysvinit from debian | 03:42 |
| bodzilla | craigbass1976, usually I see people get the best results by not booting in to the damage and running a live cd, I have never had to do it though so I'm just passing what I have seen on the UF | 03:42 |
| cavej03 | hi guys | 03:42 |
| un214 | I debate whether or not I should make ubuntu packages for this stuff or not | 03:43 |
| cavej03 | how do I go about compliling a program from source in 10.04 | 03:43 |
| tim | Does anybody have any experience with Boxee? I'm having problems with the notification sounds in Lucid. Any suggestions? | 03:43 |
| un214 | cavej03: apt-get build-dep <package> apt-get source <package> | 03:43 |
| un214 | and from there I don't know | 03:43 |
| cavej03 | thanks | 03:43 |
| cavej03 | ls | 03:43 |
| Wildbat|GER_GOAL | gasull, what happened? what problem you are facing? can you boot the alternate CD w/o special kernal option?? | 03:44 |
| switch10_ | cavej03: assuming all dependencies are met, ./configure, make, make install | 03:44 |
| cavej03 | switch10_, thats what i was looking for thanks | 03:44 |
| GhostWolf | can anyone help me to get bluetooth to work on my comp please? | 03:44 |
| switch10_ | GhostWolf: open the applet, and pair your device, thats about it. | 03:45 |
| cavej03 | switch10_, so ./configure by itself should work? | 03:45 |
| gasull | Wildbat|GER_GOAL: I can boot the alternate CD and modify the GRUB configuration in my broken installation, but I don't know what to fix there. I tried acpi=off and noapic but my broken installation still doesn't boot. | 03:46 |
| switch10_ | cavej03: yes, in the un tar'd dir | 03:46 |
| huanglong355 | the weather is hot | 03:46 |
| GhostWolf | Swish, i can't open it, or least i don't know how, it says bluetooth in the system >preferences but when i click on that it says no bluetooth adapters present | 03:46 |
| cavej03 | switch10_, oops I changed to wrong dir thats why it wasnt working thankyou. | 03:46 |
| Wildbat|GER_GOAL | gasull, can you boot your system to grub menu? | 03:46 |
| Swish | I swish for Switches. | 03:47 |
| switch10_ | GhostWolf: does your computer have bluetooth? | 03:47 |
| GhostWolf | switch10_, i don't know i just assumed using ubuntu and it being able to use bluetooth i can use it with my phone to get something off it | 03:48 |
| Nate75Sanders | Hi, is there a mirror of ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ somewhere? I need sparc packages and that server is extremely slow from my location. | 03:48 |
| huanglong355 | <switch10_> the bluetooth not fit computer only fit phone | 03:48 |
| tim | Does anybody have any experience with Boxee? I'm having problems with the notification sounds in Lucid. Any suggestions? | 03:48 |
| switch10_ | GhostWolf: you need to buy a bluetooth dongle. It is built in to some systems. | 03:48 |
| GhostWolf | switch10_, ok | 03:48 |
| jbTheAtheist | yo | 03:49 |
| gasull | Wildbat|GER_GOAL: Right. I think the laptop runs Ubuntu right away without the GRUB menu. Or at least I don't see it. | 03:49 |
| gasull | Wildbat|GER_GOAL: How's that possible? | 03:49 |
| switch10_ | gasull: if you hold shift during startup, you will see it. | 03:49 |
| Wildbat|GER_GOAL | gasull, hold the shift key down while booting ~ to force menu show | 03:50 |
| gasull | switch10_: I see it now, thanks | 03:50 |
| dugger5688 | tim: which notifications? | 03:50 |
| gasull | Wildbat|GER_GOAL: ^^ | 03:50 |
| gasull | Wildbat|GER_GOAL, switch10_: I see the GRUB menu now | 03:51 |

| kody | but i'm having driver issues with my ATI radeon x1600 | 03:52 |
| switch10_ | jbTheAtheist: easy. Just remember to install your windows OS first. | 03:52 |
| jbTheAtheist | ok cool, I tried it a few versions ago and almost ripped out my hair trying to get it to work. Had to disconnect the ubuntu drive to boot to xp | 03:52 |

| jbTheAtheist | loved it other than that | 03:52 |
| switch10_ | jbTheAtheist: I'm sure it will work for you now. | 03:53 |
| tim | dugger5688: I'm having problems with the clicking sounds when you move the selection around. It works on Windows, but on Ubuntu, the sounds aren't coming through. The option is checked, so I'm thinking it's a pulseaudio problem. | 03:53 |
| jbTheAtheist | awesome, I was starting to have ubuntu withdrawls. | 03:53 |
| dugger5688 | tim: ding ding! You are correct, the old sounds are implemented in ALSA I think, while the videos/music is through pulse. | 03:54 |
| gasull | Wildbat|GER_GOAL: I removed splash from grub, so I usually I see a lot of messages and the last one is something like "loading AppArmor profiles". Then the screen is blank. | 03:54 |
| EpicCyndaquil | is there a way to make the window size extenders less precise? (so they're easier to grab, if that makes sense) | 03:55 |

| EpicCyndaquil | jbTheAtheist: have you checked WineDB? | 03:56 |
| dugger5688 | tim: Why do you want the movement sounds so badly? They're also auto-disabled when you're playing videos so they don't get annoying. You could try disabling pulse, but someone else will have to help you there. | 03:56 |
| jbTheAtheist | I have | 03:56 |

| pure_hate | giiker, Also look in the blacklist file to make sure the module you need is not blacklisted | 04:21 |
| giiker | pure_hate: o, but in this case, i'm using the Live CD, which is the right module loaded for my card? | 04:22 |

| talcite | what is it doing? | 04:45 |
| talcite | usually it seems to be associated with heavy disk activity | 04:45 |
| codebrainz | tomatto_, my understanding is that it writes out anything in ramp to the swap partition and on power up the kernel checks the swap partition for hibernate image and decompresses it back into ram. and I believe this is handled with the kernel/modules now instead of a separate utility | 04:46 |

| Thopter | maybe I should change my question to "how do I write to a specific line in a read-only file via the command line?" | 05:18 |
| bburhans | Thopter: change it to group-writable with chmod, then use ed | 05:19 |
| Thopter | bburhans: what is the chmod code, and what is ed? | 05:20 |
| bburhans | Thopter: chmod can be done like chmod g+w /path/to/file, and ed is the original unix line editor, used for in-place substitutions on a line-by-line basis like that. | 05:20 |
| bburhans | Thopter: if you've ever used sed or ex or vim, it's almost exactly like those in many ways. | 05:21 |
| thune3 | gasull: sure, but you may need to used add "i915.modeset=1" to grub (holding shift and adding on a single boot) just to get in enough to proceed with the fix. I personally would head straight for the fix. | 05:21 |
| Thopter | bburhans: I haven't used any of those >_< | 05:21 |
| bburhans | Thopter: then you probably don't want to try ed scripting until you're more familiar with it, because you could end up clobbering your settings or something. Experiment. | 05:22 |

| codebrainz | dottts, well, you can change it after, or unplug the network cable so dhcp fails, it should allow manual config then | 06:15 |
| codebrainz | sometimes you need to press "Go Back" button to get to the list of install tasks, and then choose the option from there | 06:16 |
| dottts | codebrainz...I'll try unplug the net cable...been geeking at this for hours and did not even try it...thanks! | 06:17 |
| codebrainz | dottts, be nice if it asked hey | 06:17 |
| john38 | Can anybody help me | 06:19 |
| phyrrus | whTs ur issue? | 06:20 |
| john38 | when i click on Ati Catalyst Control Center i get No Ati graphics driver is installed, or the Ati driver is not functioning properly | 06:20 |
| phyrrus | umm is it detected? | 06:20 |
| john38 | detected? | 06:21 |
| john38 | a popup warning box comes up | 06:21 |
| phyrrus | does your motherboard see it as a valid card? | 06:21 |
| john38 | i mean Initialization error | 06:21 |
| phyrrus | oh i see. did u just install or is this a new problem? | 06:21 |
| john38 | i installed it from ubuntu Software Center | 06:22 |
| Hilikus | when i tell mysql to bind to 192.168.0.100 it won't start, but if i tell it to bind to 127.0.0.1 it does work | 06:22 |
| Hilikus | i think it might be apparmor blocking the process | 06:22 |
| john38 | i have every imaginable ati driver installed | 06:22 |
| Hilikus | does that make sense? | 06:22 |
| john38 | xserver xorg | 06:22 |
| john38 | xorg video | 06:23 |
| john38 | etc...... | 06:23 |

| zus | is anyone using veo advance connect web cam? | 06:24 |
| iceroot | !anyone | zus | 06:24 |
| ubottu | zus: 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? | 06:24 |
| iceroot | Chikokishi: who is "they"? | 06:25 |
| Chikokishi | Iceroot, anyone willing to help me =) | 06:25 |
| phyrrus | umm sry my app crashed but im clueless | 06:25 |
| iceroot | !ask | Chikokishi | 06:25 |
| ubottu | Chikokishi: 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. :-) | 06:25 |
| john38 | There was a problem initializing Catalyst Control Center Linux edition. It could be caused by the following. | 06:26 |
| john38 | No ATI graphics driver is installed, or the ATI driver is not functioning properly. | 06:26 |
| john38 | Please install the ATI driver appropriate for you ATI hardware, or configure using aticonfig | 06:26 |
| zus | thanks iceroot , everything i found was on hardy and have been post since 04. wll now in lucid in 2010 has anyone been able to make a veo advance web cam work? | 06:26 |
| lewis1711 | what would be a good language to use to write a script that does something like... "if day == sunday, copy contents of DIRECTORY to usb drive. If usb drive is not mounted, prompt user to mount" ?:) | 06:26 |
| phyrrus | so do what it says | 06:26 |
| john38 | im pretty sure all the ati drivers are installed | 06:26 |
| iceroot | zus: again, dont use "has anyone" just post what you have done, what the errors are, is dmesg find the usb cam and so on | 06:26 |
| Chikokishi | Alright, here goes. I duel installed Ubuntu on this computer with Windows, Today i decided to try to get Ubuntu to play mp3s and such. I found a guide and did what it said, then i had to restart. After restart my grub loaded was all messed up and Ubuntu stopped at the Text interface (Never went to the GUI Ubuntu) | 06:27 |
| zus | sorry that would be "veo advanced connect" | 06:27 |
| john38 | how do configure aticonfig | 06:27 |
| iceroot | lewis1711: bash | 06:27 |
| phyrrus | double chk while i go to the bathroom brb | 06:27 |
| lewis1711 | sweet. haven't played with bash for ages. | 06:27 |
| codebrainz | john38, did you activate the proprietary driver with jockey? | 06:27 |
| iceroot | lewis1711: or python | 06:27 |
| john38 | ???? | 06:27 |
| john38 | i havent installed the proprietary driver | 06:28 |
| john38 | because i cant | 06:28 |
| codebrainz | john38, did you go to System->Admin->Hardware Drivers and activate the ATI driver? | 06:29 |
| john38 | yeah | 06:29 |
| john38 | nothing to enable | 06:30 |
| codebrainz | yeah, well ati and ubuntu aren't good friends :) | 06:30 |
| Savory_Snax_ | my sound stopped working today | 06:30 |
| Chikokishi | I was curious, should i reinstall Ubuntu and then try to get everythign working again? | 06:31 |
| john38 | what do i do? | 06:31 |
| lewis1711 | john38: what's the driver on your xorg.conf say? | 06:31 |
| john38 | where do i find that? | 06:31 |
| lewis1711 | hmm, good question, I can't remember. one moment | 06:31 |
| iceroot | lewis1711: john38 /etc/X11/xorg.conf but not used in lucid | 06:31 |
| neodragon | hello all | 06:32 |
| lewis1711 | yeah, hmm | 06:32 |
| Savory_Snax_ | my sound stopped working today. can someone help? it works in Windows 7, so I know the hardware is ok. Using ubuntu 10.04 | 06:32 |
| lewis1711 | john38: modprobe fglrx ? | 06:32 |
| iceroot | Savory_Snax_: maybe just muted? | 06:32 |
| Savory_Snax_ | no, checked that | 06:32 |
| lewis1711 | yeah, type that into the terminal | 06:32 |
| iceroot | Savory_Snax_: also checked if it is muted in alsamixer? | 06:32 |
| john38 | there is no xorg.conf | 06:32 |
| lewis1711 | john38: type modeprobe fglrx, and tell us what it says | 06:33 |
| lewis1711 | john38: yeah my mistake, have just come back to ubuntu after a long time | 06:33 |
| lewis1711 | fglrx is the name of the propriety ATI graphics driver thing. the module name anyway | 06:34 |
| john38 | FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.32-23-generic-pae/updates/dkms/fglrx.ko): Operation not permitted | 06:34 |
| lewis1711 | oh. john38: sudo modprobe fglrx :) | 06:34 |
| lewis1711 | sudo make me a sandwhich | 06:34 |
| john38 | same thing | 06:35 |
| john38 | FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.32-23-generic-pae/updates/dkms/fglrx.ko): No such device | 06:35 |
| lewis1711 | that's not the same thing, that's different:P | 06:35 |
| Evil_ | when I plugin in ipod it automaticaly mounts to /media/NICK but i need it to go to /media/ipod and I changed the name of the ipod but it still mounts at /media/NICK how can I change it? | 06:35 |
| coz_ | john38, which card is this lspci | grep -u vga | 06:35 |
| john38 | sorry | 06:35 |
| lewis1711 | one of them said you can't do it, because you don't have permission. the other one said you don't have the device | 06:35 |
| lewis1711 | no worries:) | 06:36 |
| john38 | Ati Radeon x1900 | 06:36 |
| neodragon | I have had ubuntu 8.04 and 9.04 on my HP Compaq nc8430 laptop, I upgraded the HD and so I tried to do a fresh install of 10.04 instead of an upgrade install and it does not work can some one please assist me? | 06:36 |
| coz_ | john38, and the driver is not working? | 06:36 |
| coz_ | john38, For 7000 to HD4xxx series cards, you can use the open source "radeon" driver. HD2xxx and later series cards are also supported by the proprietary "fglrx" driver. | 06:36 |
| === giskard is now known as r4ban | ||
| lewis1711 | ahh, well spotted coz | 06:36 |
| kody | what about ati radeon x1600 cards while we're at it? | 06:37 |
| john38 | well thats the thing | 06:37 |
| kody | i can't use envyng since i'm on 10.04 now | 06:37 |
| john38 | thats a whole diffrent problem | 06:37 |
| coz_ | john38, and if you are having issues with either of those drivers probably the best place to go is #radeon channel | 06:37 |
| kody | D; | 06:37 |
| Savory_Snax_ | never thought I'd run into a sound problem in Ubuntu :\ | 06:37 |
| john38 | when i try to execute the run file proprietary ati | 06:37 |
| coz_ | Savory_Snax_, which sound card do you have? | 06:37 |
| john38 | i get this | 06:37 |
| lewis1711 | john38: check to see that the current fglrx actually supports your card | 06:37 |
| john38 | Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version | 06:37 |
| john38 | default:v2:i686:lib::none:2.6.32-23-generic-pae; make sure that the version is being | 06:37 |
| john38 | correctly set by --iscurrentdistro | 06:37 |
| coz_ | Savory_Snax_, and does it show up under alsamixer | 06:38 |
| FloodBot4 | john38: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:38 |
| Savory_Snax_ | coz: yes | 06:39 |
| neodragon | john38: I have the same radeon x1600 video card on my laptop and I think that is why I can't get it to install not sure though, has anyone else been able to install 10.04 with that chipset? | 06:39 |
| coz_ | Savory_Snax_, and are any of the sliders muted or turned down in alsamixer? | 06:39 |
| john38 | i got the x1900 | 06:39 |
| lewis1711 | neodragon: check to see catalyst actually supports that card. I suspect it doesn't | 06:40 |
| lewis1711 | coz_ just posted "HD2xxx and later series cards are also supported by the proprietary "fglrx" driver.", so you know | 06:40 |
| Savory_Snax_ | coz, no, MM is half but the rest are full | 06:40 |
| lewis1711 | that would rule your card out | 06:40 |
| coz_ | lewis1711, right but open source drivers...if supported would most likely be the best appraoch yes? | 06:40 |
| Evil_ | Is there a file that handles where stuff should automatically be mounted to? specifically my ipod | 06:40 |
| john38 | well im trying to enable clone desktop | 06:41 |
| coz_ | Savory_Snax_, ok and there is no sound at all? | 06:41 |
| john38 | or mirror desktop | 06:41 |
| john38 | tv is blurry | 06:41 |
| lewis1711 | coz_: IME, for pure preformance, catalyst is the way to go. but for less headaches, go for the open source:P | 06:41 |
| neodragon | lewis1711: already checked, it does not support that card anymore | 06:41 |
| john38 | i figure its a software problem | 06:41 |
| lewis1711 | ah | 06:41 |
| Savory_Snax_ | coz, correct, headphones and speakers don't work | 06:41 |
| lewis1711 | neodragon: looks like the radeon or radeonhd driver is your only choice now | 06:41 |
| coz_ | Savory_Snax_, ok best thing I can suggest at this point is the #alsa channel | 06:41 |
| Savory_Snax_ | 10-4 | 06:42 |
| coz_ | Savory_Snax_, I have a pro sound card and have to compile alsa driver for it...pulseaudio does not support it so I may be the wrong person to deal with this problem | 06:42 |
| neodragon | lewis1711: so how to I enable that driver for the install CD for 10.04? | 06:42 |
| coz_ | ps I really dont like pulseaudio | 06:42 |
| coz_ | :) | 06:42 |
| kasun | Does anyone have an idea about the performance of Terminator package? It seems when I use that, cpu load average goes very high compared to that of the gnome-terminal. Any idea? | 06:42 |
| coz_ | kasun, did you install it from the repository? | 06:43 |
| john38 | i dont understand how can the Catalyst Control Center that comes with Ubuntu Sofware Center not work | 06:43 |
| Savory_Snax_ | yeah I never had trouble in linux with sound before... | 06:43 |
| john38 | since ubuntu automatically installs the open source drivers for you | 06:43 |
| lewis1711 | neodragon: should be auto enabled | 06:43 |
| coz_ | kasun, if you did sudo apt-get install terminator I would suggest using the terminator ppa | 06:43 |
| coz_ | instead | 06:43 |
| lewis1711 | john38: catalyst control center doesn't control the open source ones | 06:44 |
| john38 | yeah i know | 06:44 |
| john38 | theres always that problem where i cant install the proprietary driver | 06:44 |
| ross_ | how do you upgrade the 3d installation for your graphic card/ | 06:44 |
| coz_ | kasun, https://launchpad.net/~gnome-terminator/+archive/ppa | 06:44 |
| coz_ | ross_, which graphic card? | 06:44 |
| kasun | coz_, i installed from the repository. Does the version from ppa is optimized pretty much? | 06:44 |
| coz_ | ross_, lspci | grep -i vga | 06:44 |
| neodragon | lewis1711: for some reason the CD gets to the Ubuntu logo with the progress dots and then the screen just goes blank and nothing else happens period | 06:44 |
| ross_ | ok | 06:44 |
| Coudy | join #xorg | 06:45 |
| ttmrichter | Can anybody recommend a small, quick, simple DNS server I can run on Ubuntu Hardy? | 06:45 |
| coz_ | kasun, I only use the ppa for terminator .. it is far more reliable in my opinion | 06:45 |
| ross_ | vga compatible controller: intel corporation mobile 4 series chipset integrated graphic | 06:45 |
| coz_ | kasun, try out.. if it doesnt fix some issues you can always remove the repository | 06:45 |
| ross_ | coz_ : so what now? | 06:45 |
| lewis1711 | neodragon: huh. that's crap. I am going to figure out how to get ubuntu to display messages when it boots instead of just using splashscreens, as I am wanting to do that for myself. | 06:45 |
| Coudy | ttmrichter, dnsmasq | 06:45 |
| coz_ | ross_, ,,mmm | 06:46 |
| ttmrichter | Coudy: Thanks. | 06:46 |
| Sam_Fisher | Howdy Ya'll | 06:46 |
| kasun | coz_, ok. thanks | 06:46 |
| cetanu | hiii | 06:46 |
| lewis1711 | neodragon: then hopefully you'll get some kind of message when you boot that you can work off. | 06:46 |
| lewis1711 | really dunno why that isn't the default behaviour, but meh | 06:46 |
| coz_ | ross_, damn I am not up on all of intel graphic problems.... so right now what is happenig? no driver at all or choppy graphics?/ | 06:46 |
| neodragon | lewis1711: that would a great step in getting 10.04 on this laptop | 06:46 |
| lewis1711 | neodragon: oh is this for the live CD? | 06:47 |
| john38 | i cant even type in #Radeon | 06:47 |
| lewis1711 | you don't actually have a system installed to HD yet? | 06:47 |
| lewis1711 | john38: need to register your nickname, probably | 06:47 |
| neodragon | lewis1711: yes | 06:47 |
| bricky | configure: error: You need libxml version 1.8.8 or 2.1.0 and above ?? | 06:47 |
| ross_ | it's slow | 06:47 |
| john38 | is it free | 06:47 |
| lewis1711 | yeap | 06:47 |
| ross_ | really slow | 06:47 |
| coz_ | ross_, mmm | 06:47 |
| Savory_Snax_ | #alsa is crickets :( | 06:47 |
| lewis1711 | john38: /msg NickServ Register, I think | 06:47 |
| ross_ | does anyone play starcraft on ubuntu using playonlinux? | 06:47 |
| lewis1711 | google it:P:) | 06:47 |
| ross_ | it's slow .. | 06:48 |
| HinHin | ross_, can't you just install in normally via wine? | 06:48 |
| coz_ | ross_, try a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to see if anything including the video driver can be updated | 06:48 |
| neodragon | ross_: I do under wine | 06:48 |
| ross_ | ok | 06:48 |
| ross_ | neodragon : what's wrong with playonlinux? | 06:48 |
| HinHin | also i've playonlinux gah don't use that crap | 06:48 |
| HinHin | it's extremely bugg | 06:48 |
| john38 | /msg NickServ Register | 06:48 |

| Alevsk | somebody know why with the last update of Lucyd my wallpapers disapear from the wallpaper manager :S? | 06:50 |
| ross_ | let me try this again.. | 06:50 |
| coz_ | ross_, well you would have to restart the system... and either press F2 or Delete to get into the bios...there you would have to check the memory allocation for the video chip | 06:50 |
| lewis1711 | neodragon: ok, this version of ubuntu doesn't have a menu.lst. hmm. things have changed:P | 06:50 |
| coz_ | ross_, if you are not familiar with changing bios settings...be very careful...read everything carefully before making any changes | 06:51 |
| coz_ | ross_, become familiar with the bios layout then try changing the memory allocation | 06:51 |
| lewis1711 | ok, does anyone in this channel know how to get the messages displayed when you boot up? up menu.lst file is empty. pretty fresh Lucid install:) | 06:52 |
| lewis1711 | *my menu.lst | 06:52 |
| neodragon | lewis1711: not only that, but I don't think that will work with the liveCD only on an installed system | 06:52 |
| tntc | hey, does anyone else have /lib/udev/keyboard-force-release.sh on their system? If so, could you pastebin it? | 06:52 |

| tntc | lewis1711: what do you mean by "the messages"? The boot menu? | 06:53 |
| lewis1711 | tntc: you know, when it boots up and it's all "checking this node, loading this drive, loading these modules, blah blah" | 06:53 |

| coz_ | Chikokishi, is this a single hard drive that has been partitioned or 2 drives | 07:00 |

| lewis1711 | neodragon: right, and you install the CD and it just freezes? hmm. do check that the disk has no errors | 07:01 |
| lewis1711 | that could very well be it | 07:01 |
| lewis1711 | if that's not the case, I really dunno what to tell you:/ | 07:01 |
| Chikokishi | This is a single hard drive, When i installed Windows i partitioned off some space for Ubuntu, which i installed Ubuntu on. When i tried to reinstall it jsut now it showed me like 8 different places in the partitioner, And it told me i didnt have an OS. | 07:01 |
| zyppr | hi | 07:01 |
| zyppr | how to make my networking starts when my ubuntu boots? | 07:02 |
| lewis1711 | zyppr: network manager should start automatically | 07:02 |
| === lfitz_ is now known as lfitz | ||
| lewis1711 | zyppr: so uh, configure that I guess:) dunno what networking you mean | 07:02 |
| zyppr | what is not? | 07:02 |
| robertzaccour | where can i get albatross theme for gnome? | 07:02 |
| lewis1711 | huh? | 07:02 |
| zyppr | /etc/init.d/networking start | 07:02 |
| zyppr | i always do that when my system boots | 07:03 |
| zyppr | how to make it start when the system starts | 07:03 |
| lewis1711 | oh right. zyppr: are you using gnome or a WM or something? | 07:03 |
| neodragon | lewis1711: for the help I will test the disk and if neseccary, download and burn a new one | 07:04 |
| lewis1711 | yeah, I would think ubuntu would be pretty awesome at detecting systems, but hmm | 07:04 |
| Chikokishi | Iflema? coz_? | 07:05 |
| === sandeep is now known as Guest79751 | ||
| neodragon | lewis1711: that's the thing I've never had trouble with ubuntu before on this laptop, weird | 07:05 |
| iflema | all yours coz_ =) | 07:05 |
| zyppr | yes lewis1711 | 07:05 |
| robertzaccour | where can i get albatross theme for gnome? | 07:05 |
| coz_ | Chikokishi, so this is a single hard drive that has been partitioned... it is going to be difficutlt to format that partition by itself unless you use the live cd or alternate or minimal install cd | 07:06 |
| coz_ | Chikokishi, there are utilities that "may" format a single partition but I have not seen any or tried any that work | 07:06 |
| Chikokishi | I have an Ubuntu cd.. is that it? | 07:06 |
| coz_ | Chikokishi, yes | 07:06 |
| zyppr | lewis1711 so what should i do? | 07:06 |
| lewis1711 | what do you want to do? it has gparted on there | 07:06 |
| zyppr | to start it automatically | 07:07 |
| lewis1711 | zyppr: dunno, you answered my question with a yes, which was confusing, since I asked if you used gnome or a WM | 07:07 |
| Chikokishi | coz_, i will go into that partitioner and ill come back and tell you what i have there. Perhaps that will help. | 07:07 |
| coz_ | Chikokishi, put that into the cdrom... first click the Check cd option to be sure the cd itself is not corrupted | 07:07 |
| zyppr | KDE | 07:07 |
| coz_ | Chikokishi, then go ahead and run the live cd | 07:07 |
| lewis1711 | hmm, no idea sorry | 07:07 |
| Chikokishi | Like go into ubuntu with the cd? now go into the installer? | 07:07 |
| Chikokishi | not* | 07:08 |
| coz_ | Chikokishi, well first check the cd with the check cd option | 07:08 |
| Chikokishi | yeah | 07:08 |
| coz_ | Chikokishi, if that works then go ahead and try the intstall | 07:08 |
| Coudysk | Hi, why I can't type on #radeon or #xorg channels ? (* #radeon :Cannot send to channel) | 07:08 |

| Chikokishi | And today i was attempting to get Ubuntu to play MP3 and something went wrong and it crashed ubuntu terribly | 07:38 |

| Loshki | flodin: I totally can't explain that.... | 07:39 |
| Chikokishi | Ok, to get there do i open Ubuntu from the cd? And then restart i take it? | 07:39 |
| flodin | Loshki: what's more, changing the dow has no effect at all on what time it runs | 07:40 |

| mataks_ | tlarson, how to add an application in start up everytime i login that needs root access | 08:13 |
| rob_p | mataks_: You can put it's init script in /etc/init.d/ and then sym-link to it from the applicable runlevel dir in /etc/. Those get run by root. | 08:13 |
| tlarson | mataks_: when you *log in* or when you *start up*? | 08:13 |
| tlarson | you can log in many times between reboots | 08:14 |
| mataks_ | rob_p, im new to ubuntu, how to do it? i don't understand the sym-link and the runlevel dir | 08:15 |
| tlarson | rob_p: scripts in init have to repsond properly to "start" "stop" etc. Just add a line to /etc/rc.sysinit -- it only runs at startup and requires no real intelligence to edit | 08:16 |
| tlarson | sorry -- rc.local, not rc.sysinit | 08:17 |
| rob_p | tlarson: Yes. That's why I said put it's init script in /etc/init.d. | 08:17 |
| drew212 | is there a way to easily transfer a large ammount of files over a network from a vista PC to an ubuntu PC? | 08:17 |
| rob_p | tlarson: It's trivial to create an init script for just about anything! :-) | 08:17 |
| tlarson | the file rc.local gets run last at startup, and doesn't get called with a "start" or "stop" parameter. files in init.d get called on shutdown, reboot, and whenever switchign runlevels, which means if you have a one-liner it will get run more times that you want it to | 08:18 |
| tlarson | drew212: yes | 08:18 |
| drew212 | tlarson: how would i do that? | 08:18 |

| tlarson | drew212: unfortunately file sharing has become dramatically more complicated to set up correctly on the windows side. best to use the "simple" mode if one is offered | 08:22 |
| knightstalker | Archana,in frontend global setup there are no Persian language | 08:22 |
| drew212 | idk if it has simple mode, but its on... | 08:23 |
| Sam_Fisher | Ego_Proctor, so she won't notice she isn't using a MAc? | 08:23 |
| Ego_Proctor | drew212, if you are using vista or 7 then there are options for password protected file sharing, 7 there is this silly thing called home-group sharing. | 08:23 |

| Ego_Proctor | Sam_Fisher, well I started a LUG at my college, was the founder and chair for a year, and she took over as the new chair, so she is in it deep anyway. | 08:25 |
| Archana | knightstalker, oh! sorry i know no more. Maybe someone in the channel will help you Or ask in ubuntuforums.org LOCO section | 08:25 |
| Ego_Proctor | mneptok, thanks for the correction | 08:26 |
| loopidity | is it possible to run a .cgi file as a cron job? | 08:26 |
| Archana | I am in need of a tool that can merge three photos to make as an animated image. | 08:26 |
| Ego_Proctor | Sam_Fisher, I am also loading openbox so she can really get used to running things from the terminal and such | 08:26 |
| Sam_Fisher | Ego_Proctor, Cool always glad to hear we are making inroads. | 08:26 |
| drew212 | ego its just vista | 08:27 |
| Ego_Proctor | Sam_Fisher, 8D | 08:27 |
| mneptok | Ego_Proctor: IMO, immediately setting out to make GNOME look like OSX is hardly a ringing endorsement for Linux. probably not a great idea for a LUG organizer. | 08:27 |
| knightstalker | Hmm,do anybody know what Language support of Ubuntu called?forexample if I want to upgrade it for what package should I search for? | 08:27 |
| Sam_Fisher | Ego_Proctor, I use Gome Do in the Docky mode | 08:27 |
| drew212 | Ego_Proctor: its just vista | 08:27 |
| Ego_Proctor | mneptok, that is kind of what I felt, that is why put OpenBox on there so she can work with it that way as well | 08:27 |
| mneptok | knightstalker: System > Admin > Language Support | 08:27 |
| knightstalker | mneptok,thats not helpful...,I meant what that package is named? | 08:28 |
| knightstalker | mneptok,I want to upgrade it as I saw ver 10.04 has an enhanced one | 08:28 |
| Ego_Proctor | drew212, ok then you will probably have to use password sharing, since Vista+ MS OS's don't allow just anyone access with out them having administrator rights and some other complicated sharing stuff | 08:28 |
| Ego_Proctor | drew212, even if you don't select password protected sharing it will ask you to log in to acces sthe files | 08:29 |
| mneptok | knightstalker: the language applet? or the language packs? if you use T-bird, that's going to require a different pack than just the GNOME translation provides. that's why that applet exists. | 08:29 |
| Ego_Proctor | Don't set password sharing in vista, just be prepared to have to use it. | 08:29 |
| bricky | sweet got a nice alarm clock finally | 08:29 |
| bricky | now if only I could get my wifi card working, lols | 08:29 |
| Ego_Proctor | drew212, so if you don't have an account on that system with a password then create one | 08:30 |
| Ego_Proctor | drew212, just in case | 08:30 |
| Archana | I am in need of a tool that can merge three photos to make as an animated image. | 08:30 |
| drew212 | Ego_Proctor: i'm connected into the other computer =) | 08:30 |
| bricky | basicaly if lspci doesnt detect my wifi card, its like broken? | 08:30 |
| Ego_Proctor | Ego_Proctor, you are connected into the vista machine from linux and you have access to the files the you are good to go. | 08:31 |
| drew212 | Ego_Proctor: exactly | 08:31 |
| Ego_Proctor | mneptok, I know that it is a bit of a step in a strange direction, but also show her and other people in the group that linux is flexible and can be made to function like the OS you are used to may help to ease more people into it. | 08:32 |
| garic | hey every, ive accidentally deleted my home dir using stupid bash script which did "rm -rf *" after a failed cd. I am on live cd now, whats the best way to recover as many files possible? | 08:32 |
| Ego_Proctor | drew212, there is just sometimes some funny stuff with Windows. Instead of making it functionally more secure, they make it functionally harder to use. | 08:33 |
| llutz | garic: try photorec/testdisk | 08:33 |
| mneptok | Ego_Proctor: if people cannot handle an OS that looks different, then they are going to have a hard time with Linux. it's better, IME, to get people used to the idea that things work differently, but they *work* | 08:34 |
| Sam_Fisher | garic, testdisk is in synaptic and photorec is s subset of testdisk | 08:34 |
| llutz | garic: hint: next time you'd call things with full path, don't cd through the filesystem | 08:36 |
| Sam_Fisher | garic, install testdisk then sudo testdisk and go from there | 08:36 |
| garic | llutz, yea i learned my lesson to late :( | 08:36 |
| garic | Sam_Fisher, llutz, yes im installing now, thank you. | 08:36 |
| Ego_Proctor | mneptok, I don't disagree, but IME it seems that people like gradual change. I have worked with many people who practice a method of slow conversion, by letting people still use MS or Apple, but get them using open source software. Then when it is time to upgrade the system, they drop linux on it with all the same open source stuff. works really well. Not everyone wants to learn to swim in the deepend. | 08:36 |
| TLoFP | `i suspended emacs, how to undo? | 08:37 |
| firebalrog | fg | 08:38 |
| Sam_Fisher | add tags to photos? how? which is easiest? Why doesn't Fstop do it? | 08:39 |
| oleg | dlkgf | 08:39 |
| burr__ | Ego_Proctor: when i first got linux, i installed it to dual boot with windows...i never used windows again for anything | 08:39 |
| abhi_nav | fspot | 08:39 |
| garic | Sam_Fisher, llutz which partition table type should i choose? Disk utility says its Linux (0x83) | 08:40 |
| llutz | garic: use photorec, not testdisk | 08:40 |
| Sam_Fisher | garic, should be ext 3 or ext4 | 08:40 |
| llutz | garic: testdisk is the packagename and a partition-recovery-tool | 08:40 |
| drew212 | Ego_Proctor: now its asking me for a password even though i have passwords disabled =X | 08:40 |
| Sam_Fisher | garic, yeah testdisk is for lost partitions | 08:41 |
| Ego_Proctor | burr__ I know many people are like that, well people that understand computers and are not afraid to explore on their own. But, our group is trying to target the casual not technical user and make it easier for them to use linux. We don't promote dual booting if we can get away with it. a real pain in the butt. | 08:41 |
| Sam_Fisher | garic, my bad I did tell you to run it forst | 08:41 |
| Ego_Proctor | drew212, told you | 08:41 |
| garic | Sam_Fisher, np, photrec also asks for Please select the partition table type, press Enter when done. | 08:42 |
| drew212 | Ego_Proctor: i can get into the public folders... | 08:42 |
| garic | i know my partition is ext4, but partition table, i dunno | 08:42 |
| drew212 | but i need to access files on the hard drive... | 08:42 |
| Ego_Proctor | drew212, you will need to make an account with a password and you might give it admin privileges, or at the very least turn off user account controls | 08:42 |
| drew212 | Ego_Proctor: done, and it doesnt work =X | 08:42 |
| garic | Sam_Fisher, llutz probably Intel/PC, right? | 08:43 |
| llutz | garic: intel most likely | 08:43 |
| === ndo_ is now known as Nikolai_D | ||
| Ego_Proctor | drew212, it is a security measure in Vista... you just need a user name with admin and a password. | 08:43 |
| Sam_Fisher | garic, | 08:43 |
| Ego_Proctor | drew212, but I believe you can still only access files that are shared, not the entire system... | 08:43 |
| drew212 | Ego_Proctor: i even turned it off | 08:43 |
| Sam_Fisher | garic, intel/PC | 08:44 |
| drew212 | i shared the drive... | 08:44 |
| drew212 | it says that it is shared... | 08:44 |
| Sam_Fisher | garic, I loaded it to follllow along | 08:44 |
| Ego_Proctor | drew212, right, but in Vista the Public folders are the only non-protected shared space, and I don't know how to make an entire drive shared. you will have to ask in #windows. | 08:44 |
| garic | Sam_Fisher, llutz, do you reccon i should use "Whole" or would "Free" be sufficient? | 08:44 |
| Ego_Proctor | drew212, I meant make an entire drive public... | 08:45 |
| drew212 | Ego_Proctor: i already did that, all you do is right click the drive, click share, then go to advanced sharing... | 08:45 |
| eoke | Garic: With linux or windows you're likely to be using an MBR http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record | 08:45 |
| Ego_Proctor | drew212, you made the drive a public share? | 08:46 |
| drew212 | yes, everyone can access it and i turned off password protection... | 08:46 |
| llutz | garic: "free" should be fine | 08:46 |
| garic | eoke, it is MBR, only that the tool doesnt give that option. i guess its also called Intel/PC | 08:46 |
| drew212 | Ego_Proctor: but when i try to access the drive it asks me for a password and they dont work | 08:46 |
| tlarson | drew212: there's a certain point where just putting the files on a flash drive becomes the simpler option.... | 08:46 |
| eoke | garic: Which tool are you using I came in half way through | 08:46 |
| Ego_Proctor | drew212, do you have admin privileges on the user account? and is it a domain controller? | 08:47 |
| drew212 | not when you need to back up 40gb of files | 08:47 |
| drew212 | i have admin privelages, idk if its a domain controller | 08:47 |
| llutz | garic: make sure not to write the files to the same filesystem, you are using photorec on | 08:47 |
| tlarson | drew212: if it was a DC, you'd know | 08:47 |
| Ego_Proctor | drew212, well it is vista not sever, so it is probably not. my bad | 08:47 |

| Jordan_U | p1oooop: They are still used fairly frequently, almost all distributions use isolinux for their liveCD's. But GRUB2 is getting to the point where it can be used instead of isolinux and pxelinux, which makes distributors happy as it means they only need to maintain a single bootloader. | 09:25 |
| guest2 | so nobody here uses rhythmbox | 09:25 |
| iceroot | guest2: just ask a real question | 09:25 |
| p1oooop | Jordan_U: I guess so... I just like isolinux and pxelinux a bit better... hehe | 09:25 |
| p1oooop | blink: by physical, I mean look on the case | 09:26 |
| guest2 | iceroot: are notifications broken when you switch track | 09:26 |
| p1oooop | blink: maybe use CPU-Z in windows | 09:26 |
| Sam_Fisher | In Nautilus I do not see any tabs or anything in the menus. Do I need to add something? | 09:26 |
| iceroot | guest2: no | 09:26 |
| guest2 | it works in lucid? | 09:26 |
| private_meta | wow... I just realized I'm using Linux more than I hoped | 09:26 |
| p1oooop | Sam_Fisher: sorry... use GIMP | 09:26 |
| p1oooop | Sam_Fisher: I'm pretty sure GIMP has something to edit the tags in a photo | 09:27 |
| tdn | I use Ubuntun 10.04 LTS with encrypted home dirs. I had to do some maintenance including swapping of two users' UIDs and GIDs. So I did a deluser on the users and a delgroup on the groups. Then I created the users and groups again with the corrects UIDs/GIDs. Then I chowned all the users' files under /home/$USER and /home/.ecryptfs/$USER. Then I reset password with passwd $USER. But now the users cannot log in -- thus cannot decrypt their files. What do | 09:27 |
| guest2 | iceroot: please be more specific and state your ubuntu version.. i think this bug is lucid-only | 09:27 |
| Guillem | hmm, seems that usbserial is the module I was looking for | 09:27 |
| guest2 | it's a fresh install, so doubt i'm the only sufferer | 09:27 |
| iceroot | guest2: what about you being more specific? instead of asking if anyone is using it, is it broken | 09:28 |
| guest2 | iceroot: unless you have lucid installed, you are just trolling me | 09:28 |
| iceroot | guest2: tell what you are suing, what the error is, which version and so on | 09:28 |
| iceroot | guest2: i am using lucid | 09:28 |
| private_meta | guest2: Just state your problem | 09:28 |
| tdn | guest2, what is your problem? | 09:28 |
| iceroot | guest2: and stop flaming me | 09:28 |
| bazhang | guest2, that's not necessary. I'm using both and it works fine | 09:28 |
| Jordan_U | tdn: Your message was cut off at "What do" | 09:28 |
| private_meta | guest2: just type WHAT your problem is, if someone's here who can help you, he will, if you don't write what's wrong, noone will/can help | 09:28 |
| bazhang | iceroot, lets move on | 09:28 |
| p1oooop | ... | 09:28 |
| blink | i got cpu-z | 09:29 |
| blink | what to look at exactly? | 09:29 |
| p1oooop | blink: motherboard | 09:29 |
| tdn | Jordan_U, ok, I just asked about how I can correct this? | 09:29 |
| p1oooop | I think... | 09:29 |

| Sam_Fisher | Help garic rename his files so he can quickly recover from his accident | 09:31 |
| kokozedman | hey guys, | 09:31 |
| p1oooop | hello kokozedman | 09:31 |
| KenWRT54G | yo whaadddup | 09:31 |
| kokozedman | is there a way to synchronize the time between 2 ubuntu computers? | 09:31 |
| p1oooop | kokozedman: hmm... I'd rather use a NTP server | 09:32 |
| garic | Sam_Fisher, would be great, but is possible to even recover the file-names? | 09:32 |
| kokozedman | like make them the same time… it does not matter if it following a correct NTP server or not | 09:32 |
| p1oooop | kokozedman: either that or make your computer a NTP server | 09:32 |
| kokozedman | p1oooop: i've already tried that but they both are different (at a millisecond level) | 09:32 |
| p1oooop | I see... | 09:32 |
| kokozedman | i need them to be on the very same exact time, at least for few minutes | 09:32 |
| ujvarosya | hey anyone know how can I run the Sony Ericsson Themes Creator v3.32 program? It's looking for gstreamer 0.8 'cos it was written for Feisty..:) | 09:32 |
| rob_p | kokozedman: How precise do you need them to be? | 09:33 |
| p1oooop | I'm just wondering why, kokozedman | 09:33 |
| llutz | garic: you cannot recover filenames (afaik) | 09:33 |
| kokozedman | rob_p: just as precisely the same as posible | 09:33 |
| rob_p | kokozedman: If you need that level of accuracy, perhaps you should have them both peer with a stratum 2 time source. | 09:33 |
| kokozedman | p1oooop: i'm developping a client/server application in python, and i log the progress and i can't debug it because they have some time glitches | 09:33 |
| Jordan_U | tdn: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#Recovering%20Your%20Mount%20Passphrase , also try #ecryptfs on irc.oftc.net | 09:34 |

| erry | hi i accidentally lost my grub | 09:34 |
| erry | can you help me get it again | 09:34 |
| p1oooop | kokozedman: search google? | 09:34 |
| erry | is it gone forever | 09:34 |
| tdn | Jordan_U, ok. | 09:34 |
| erry | do i need to reinstall everything | 09:34 |
| rob_p | kokozedman: install ntp on both machines and set them to peer with a few external time sources. | 09:34 |
| erry | :( | 09:34 |
| p1oooop | erry: there is a command to rewrite GRUB files | 09:35 |
| Artremis | hi all | 09:35 |
| p1oooop | automatically | 09:35 |
| p1oooop | erry: lemme go find it | 09:35 |
| Jordan_U | erry: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide | 09:35 |
| erry | i dont have any blank disks | 09:35 |
| kokozedman | rob_p: ok… i'll try that | 09:35 |
| erry | or rewritable disks | 09:35 |
| p1oooop | erry: grub-installl | 09:36 |
| p1oooop | * install | 09:36 |
| p1oooop | sorry.. | 09:36 |
| erry | which device | 09:36 |
| p1oooop | erry ? | 09:36 |
| kokozedman | rob_p: what package should i install to get the ntp server? | 09:36 |
| p1oooop | erry: whatever device you have your linux boot partition on | 09:36 |
| Jordan_U | erry: What is your exact situation? How did you "lose" grub and what can you boot on that machine currently? | 09:36 |
| erry | :( | 09:36 |
| ix_ | how can i install firefox 4 beta on ubuntu? i would prefer a .deb | 09:36 |
| kokozedman | i'm using ubuntu server | 09:36 |
| erry | It doenst work! | 09:36 |
| kokozedman | i don't know if that is already installed by default | 09:36 |
| erry | they all say /boot/grub/device.map isnt there | 09:37 |
| rob_p | kokozedman: It's pretty easy. Use apt-get and install ntp. Open the config file and use the examples within, to peer with a few (at least 3) external time sources. I think the package name is just, "ntp." | 09:37 |
| Jordan_U | !details | erry | 09:37 |
| ubottu | erry: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 09:37 |
| p1oooop | erry: GRUB setup is troublesome, I almost lost a whole installation because I forgot what device/partition I had GRUB installed on | 09:37 |
| erry | its in /dev/sda1 | 09:37 |
| erry | 5* | 09:37 |
| rical | anyone know if it is possible to "source" an external file into ~/.ssh/config? | 09:37 |
| erry | but i cant do root (hd0,5) | 09:37 |
| erry | it says there's no such disk | 09:37 |
| p1oooop | erry: hmm | 09:38 |
| p1oooop | (hd0,1) ? | 09:38 |
| erry | p1oooop, it says the same bout that | 09:38 |
| erry | p1oooop, and hd0,5 | 09:38 |
| erry | i want hd0,5 | 09:38 |
| p1oooop | erry: huh | 09:38 |
| erry | man | 09:38 |
| erry | i fucked up | 09:38 |
| rob_p | kokozedman: You may even be able to get away with using ntpdate to dicipline your clock but since ntpdate is sort of a, "one-shot" deal, you would have to call it on a regular basis (like maybe every 30 minutes, depending on the accuracy of your hwclock). | 09:38 |

| erry | crack windows 7 | 09:38 |
| p1oooop | erry: probe around | 09:38 |
| Jordan_U | erry: Why are you trying to use "root (hd0,5)"? Please don't give short comments without context, explain in detail what you are trying to do and the full output of any commands you run (along with the exact command you ran). | 09:39 |
| erry | Jordan_U, because i want to get my grub back | 09:39 |
| Jordan_U | erry: What is your exact situation? How did you "lose" grub and what can you boot on that machine currently? | 09:39 |
| erry | I lost it! | 09:39 |
| erry | I can't bot anything | 09:39 |

| palam | how do i go about installing a .p12 certificate file? | 09:39 |
| erry | Please help | 09:39 |
| erry | i beg you | 09:39 |
| FloodBot4 | erry: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:39 |
| kokozedman | rob_p: isn't it possible to have only 1 server being an NTP server, and the second one syncing from it? the reason is that i'm about 600 ms away from the world (slow satellite) with random delay of packets and the clock never gets right atomically because of that | 09:39 |
| erry | i dont want to llose everything | 09:39 |
| erry | pelase | 09:39 |
| p1oooop | erry: hmm... if you're insane enough, you can try rewriting the grub.conf file yourself | 09:39 |
| palam | anyone know of a tutorial? | 09:39 |
| erry | i want it automatically | 09:40 |
| p1oooop | erry: boot from a live CD | 09:40 |

| erry | p1oooop, i did but its not working | 09:40 |
| p1oooop | erry: live boot? | 09:40 |
| Jordan_U | erry: Ok, do you get any error messages? Is it a "grub> " prompt or a "rescue> " prompt? Does the command "ls" in that prompt show your drives/partitions ? | 09:40 |
| erry | p1oooop, i mean grub isnt working!!! | 09:40 |
| geirha | tlarson: lsof(1) | 09:40 |
| erry | why dont you just tell me that command | 09:40 |
| erry | there's a command i know | 09:40 |
| p1oooop | erry: ahh... under live CD, run #grub-install | 09:41 |
| tlarson | geirha: thanks. I kept getting hung up on fuser | 09:41 |
| p1oooop | err... | 09:41 |
| erry | p1oooop, its giving me a help thingy | 09:41 |

| abhinav_singh | how to change network manager applet icon? | 09:41 |
| p1oooop | sorry bout that | 09:41 |
| p1oooop | erry: grub-mkconfig | 09:41 |
| rob_p | kokozedman: The problem you will run into is this. The time source (one of your boxes) will not have accurate time because it isn't peering with a reasonably low stratum source. NTP is smart enough to know this and because of it, it will refuse to allow other sources to sync with it. | 09:41 |
| geirha | tlarson: Yeah, that's mostly useful for the other way around :) | 09:41 |
| Jordan_U | gopi: All packages in the repositories are signed. | 09:41 |
| p1oooop | there we go, erry ... | 09:42 |
| p1oooop | grub-mkconfig | 09:42 |
| p1oooop | should work for you | 09:42 |

| erry | I have to reinstall everything again | 09:42 |
| airtonix | abhinav_singh, gnome icon theme system sources icons by looking for expected filenames | 09:42 |
| p1oooop | erry: hmm... | 09:42 |
| erry | why! | 09:42 |
| rob_p | kokozedman: You could set one box to peer with external sources and then have your other box just peer with your first. That should work fine too. | 09:42 |
| Jordan_U | erry: What is your exact situation? How did you "lose" grub and what can you boot on that machine currently? *please* answer these questions completely, I cannot help you without theses answers. | 09:42 |
| erry | I hate my life | 09:42 |
| erry | Jordan_U, i cant boot ANUYTHING | 09:43 |
| p1oooop | erry: okay, were do you want to install GRUB? | 09:43 |

| erry | ill pay you if you help | 09:43 |
| FloodBot4 | erry: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:43 |
| Jordan_U | erry: Where did you run that grub-mkconfig command? On another machine? | 09:43 |
| erry | Jordan_U, no | 09:43 |
| erry | Jordan_U, i can boot live cd | 09:43 |
| abhinav_singh | airtonix where to find that file? | 09:43 |
| erry | :| | 09:43 |
| sbsdoze | damn, I hit dpkg-reconfigure and something has all services starting on bootup | 09:43 |
| erry | its lost forever isnt it | 09:44 |
| Jordan_U | erry: Ok, that's not the answer you gave before :) | 09:44 |
| p1oooop | erry: grub install hd0,5 | 09:44 |
| gopi | erry wt happened | 09:44 |
| kokozedman | rob_p: i have installed NTP on the first server; by "peering" do you mean this command: ntpdate 192.168.139.128 (address of the first server) | 09:44 |
| p1oooop | (add a sudo to that) | 09:44 |
| erry | p1oooop, it gives me this: | 09:44 |
| opij | where can i go to find out some exact specs on my processor on ubuntu? | 09:44 |
| erry | grub > | 09:44 |
| steerio | hey | 09:44 |
| Jordan_U | p1oooop: That is not the right command. | 09:44 |
| airtonix | abhinav_singh, it'll be in the folder of your icon theme. system wide available icon themes are at /usr/share/icons. per-user only icon themes are in your home folder at ~/.icons | 09:44 |
| p1oooop | erry: I meant under liveCD | 09:44 |
| gopi | opij: lshw | 09:44 |
| erry | p1oooop, yes im there | 09:44 |
| erry | it gives me grub > | 09:44 |
| Slart | opij: cat /proc/cpuinfo should give you some info | 09:45 |
| erry | :( | 09:45 |
| p1oooop | erry: huh, I think I might of given you the wrong command | 09:45 |
| rob_p | kokozedman: You configure it in ntp.conf, I believe. ntpdate is just a command line utility for doing a, "one-shot" time sync with some source. | 09:45 |
| p1oooop | type exit | 09:45 |
| steerio | still could not solve this "ubiquity does not start" issue, which happens with 2.2.23 and 2.2.24 alike on my lucid system | 09:45 |

| erry | :( | 09:46 |
| p1oooop | not exit :P | 09:46 |
| steerio | (trying as root, set up xhost + as user, using DISPLAY=:0.0 so it's not that) | 09:46 |

| erry | p1oooop, can i get a fresh grub install | 09:46 |
| gopi | i cant login my gmail in empathy...i get authentication failure | 09:46 |
| rob_p | kokozedman: But like I said, ntpdate may work for you depending on how often you call it, and how accurate your hardware clock is. | 09:46 |
| erry | thats what i want | 09:46 |
| Jordan_U | erry: You almost certainly do *not* need to re-install, please calm down and answer my questions and I will almost certainly be able to get you booting properly again. | 09:46 |
| p1oooop | yes | 09:46 |
| gopi | i mean chat | 09:46 |
| abhinav_singh | ya i have reached ~/.icons now what to do airtonix? | 09:46 |
| erry | Jordan_U, for how much | 09:46 |
| erry | i can pay up to $1000 | 09:46 |
| erry | that's a months pay for me so its not a little | 09:46 |
| erry | Just help me | 09:46 |
| erry | :'( | 09:46 |
| rob_p | kokozedman: If you need better than 10ms accuracy, I'd go strictly ntp. | 09:46 |
| gopi | $? | 09:46 |
| steerio | what, this has become a pay channel? :) | 09:46 |
| Jordan_U | erry: For free, but only if you calm down and answer my questions completely :) | 09:47 |

| p1oooop | darn. | 09:47 |
| airtonix | abhinav_singh, have a look at : /usr/share/icons/Humanity/status/22 (not saying that this is the exact folder you want to modify) | 09:47 |

| erry | p1oooop, it cant install in /dev/sda5 | 09:48 |

| steerio | hm, anybody good at reading strace outputs, for .. hm wait, counting my dollars | 09:48 |
| erry | its all my fault, but can you please help | 09:48 |
| rob_p | kokozedman: So, in a nutshell, install ntp on the, "server" box and then configure it to peer with several external sources. On the second box, either systematically call ntpdate <IP.OF.SERVER.BOX>, or just install ntp on it as well and configure it to peer with the server. | 09:48 |
| erry | :( | 09:49 |
| Jordan_U | erry: Do you know what you did that messed it up? | 09:49 |
| abhinav_singh | airtonix yes i have reached there now what to do? | 09:49 |
| erry | Jordan_U, yes i installed server version but then i wanted to get grub in the normal version | 09:49 |
| opij | i was wondering if hulu desktop would run on a intel duo core processor | 09:49 |
| erry | and that messed it up | 09:49 |

| erry | they tried but what they say isnt working either | 09:51 |
| ikonia | ok, well keep working at it with them, | 09:51 |
| rob_p | erry: It's frustrating but it's also the fastest way to learn. Either it will beat you, or your will beat it! If you win, you will have something very worthwhile! :-) | 09:51 |

| abhinav_singh | airtonix are you there? | 09:52 |
| erry | rob_p, im just going to reinstall it | 09:52 |
| rob_p | erry: So don't be afraid to, "break" things. | 09:52 |
| airtonix | abhinav_singh, have a look at : /usr/share/icons/Humanity/status/22 (not saying that this is the exact folder you want to modify) | 09:52 |
| csaba_ | how to resize my partition without losing my files? | 09:52 |
| erry | and this time not touch anything | 09:52 |
| gopi | erry:what os r u running now | 09:52 |
| Jordan_U | erry: The other people who have given you advice so far have been wrong. To be perfectly blunt they don't know what they are talking about in this case but I do. | 09:52 |
| csaba_ | I've tried installing gparted but got an error "broken package"... on ubuntu 10.4 | 09:52 |
| erry | Jordan_U, then can you help me? | 09:52 |
| Jordan_U | erry: Yes. | 09:53 |
| rob_p | erry: I can't count how many times I had to reinstall when I, "broke" things on my forst Red Hat 5 system! | 09:53 |
| abhinav_singh | airtonix yes i am having look at that.... i have reached there ....please tell me what to modify and how? | 09:53 |

| ikonia | erry: drop that attitude now - this is your only warning. You know the rules | 09:53 |
| erry | it says there "Mount your appropriate linux partitions" | 09:53 |
| erry | idk how to do that :( | 09:54 |
| airtonix | abhinav_singh, 1. i don;t know what theme you are using 2. do you understand the concept of "object inheritance" | 09:54 |
| abhinav_singh | airtonix no | 09:54 |
| erry | i think their way is dangerous | 09:54 |
| ikonia | erry: do you know what partition your linux OS is on ? | 09:54 |
| abhinav_singh | i am using default ubuntu theme airtonix | 09:54 |
| erry | ikonia, yes | 09:54 |
| rob_p | erry: Keep in mind that reinstall is *rarely* the answer. But it will take you some time to figure that out. It's ok though. Just run your course. You'll get it. Sometimes a reinstall will save you some time though! :-) | 09:54 |
| ikonia | erry: ok - so if you do "sudo mount /dev/$your_partition /$place_you_want_to_mount_it" it should mouont | 09:55 |
| erry | ikonia, then what do i do | 09:55 |
| ikonia | erry: what do the instructions your following tell you to do next ? | 09:55 |

| ikonia | erry: enough now, I'm out | 10:14 |
| ikonia | erry: you have to actually read the guide - you may not have to change anything at all | 10:14 |
| erry | ikonia, but you said to ask questions if i dont understand | 10:14 |
| gopi | :) | 10:14 |
| erry | and im not understanding | 10:14 |
| erry | ikonia, If i dont have to change anything why isnt it working? | 10:14 |
| bazhang | gopi, did you have a support issue? | 10:14 |
| p1oooop | erry: he said might | 10:15 |
| gopi | bazhang: ? | 10:15 |
| erry | :| | 10:15 |
| erry | You knwo what | 10:15 |
| erry | nevermind | 10:15 |
| ikonia | ok | 10:15 |
| p1oooop | y"ou may not have to change anything at all" | 10:15 |
| erry | this isnt working | 10:15 |

| p1oooop | ANOTHER ubuntu | 10:16 |
| erry | well i guess thats what you get for trying to change stuff | 10:16 |
| p1oooop | in ANOTHER partition | 10:16 |
| ikonia | erry: did you do the grub-probe command ? | 10:16 |
| bazhang | Joss_, which version of iPod, what app are you trying to access it with? what version of ubuntu | 10:16 |
| erry | ill reinstall it thanks | 10:16 |
| gopi | hmmm | 10:16 |
| erry | ikonia, it says it cant stat hd0,5 | 10:16 |
| gopi | :\ | 10:16 |
| ikonia | erry: what command did you do ? | 10:16 |
| erry | grub-probe hd0,5 | 10:16 |
| erry | with sudo | 10:16 |
| KenWRT54G | is there a command to detect usb devices that can be mounted? | 10:17 |
| gopi | root (hd0,5) | 10:17 |
| ikonia | erry: ok - where in the guide did it say to do that command ? | 10:17 |
| gopi | setup (hd0) | 10:17 |
| Joss_ | bazhang, ipod was for example, I use ubuntu 10.04 | 10:17 |
| ikonia | gopi: stop | 10:17 |
| erry | ikonia, i tried doing upgrade-grub but it says command not found | 10:17 |
| ikonia | erry: where in the guide did it say do that command | 10:17 |
| hotfloppy | gopi: i think we should let ikonia helping erry, and dont disturb him :) | 10:17 |
| ikonia | erry: tell me where it said do it | 10:17 |
| erry | Post-Restoration Commands | 10:17 |
| gopi | ;| | 10:18 |
| erry | ok i did it wrong im sorry | 10:18 |
| erry | but still update-grub doesnt work | 10:18 |
| Jordan_U | ikonia: I think he's in the "Upgrading to GRUB 2" section. | 10:18 |
| erry | im not a he | 10:18 |
| erry | for the last time | 10:18 |
| ikonia | erry: in this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 show me where it says do it | 10:18 |
| erry | ikonia, where it says "Post-restoration commands" | 10:18 |
| ikonia | erry: that's right at the bottom - and you're again not read it | 10:19 |
| erry | ikonia, you said to run that command :( | 10:19 |
| erry | 04:16 < ikonia> erry: did you do the grub-probe command ? | 10:19 |
| ikonia | erry: no I did not say | 10:19 |
| erry | i only did what you told me to | 10:19 |
| ikonia | erry: you're not listening | 10:19 |
| erry | im sorry | 10:20 |
| ikonia | erry: where did I tell you to type that command ? | 10:20 |
| erry | but honestly, im not getting it | 10:20 |
| ikonia | erry: I asked if you had run it, as at the top it says run it with specific options to get info about your grub2 install | 10:20 |
| erry | im lost in this guide | 10:20 |
| aatifh | ping | 10:20 |
| ikonia | ok - then you need to backup your data and re-install ubuntu | 10:20 |
| erry | .grub-probe -t device /boot/grub | 10:20 |
| ikonia | erry: that is the way to do it | 10:20 |
| ikonia | erry: backup your data first | 10:20 |
| erry | ikonia, why dont you just tell me the command to restore grub | 10:20 |
| erry | ikonia, no im not backing anything up | 10:21 |
| ikonia | erry: because it's not one command | 10:21 |
| Jordan_U | erry: It's not a single command. | 10:21 |
| erry | or getting linux again | 10:21 |
| ikonia | erry: that's why someone has written a guide, because it's system specific | 10:21 |
| ikonia | erry: ok - then don't | 10:21 |
| erry | ikonia, well the guide is not working | 10:21 |
| erry | idk how thats my fault | 10:21 |
| ikonia | erry: no, you're not listening/follinwg it | 10:21 |
| ikonia | erry: either way, you're not getting it so we can't progress | 10:21 |
| aatifh | When ever i am doing apt-get install some-package and i am getting this error http://pastebin.ca/1895932 | 10:21 |
| ikonia | erry: it's up to you how you conitnue | 10:21 |
| Jordan_U | ikonia: It may be easier for her to follow http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide , since it doesn't have multiple sections (there are also some technical issues with the Ubuntu wiki page) | 10:21 |
| aatifh | Can anyone please suggest some solution? | 10:21 |
| erry | ikonia, the guide talks about a gfile,. I asked you if i had to edit that file, you siad no | 10:22 |
| nmvictor | whats the limit length labe in genisoimage ? | 10:22 |
| ikonia | erry: again, no I didn't say that, if you read the guide it tells you how to check that file is right for your system, you may not need to edit it at all | 10:22 |
| ikonia | Jordan_U: possibly | 10:22 |
| erry | ikonia, why wouldnt the file be right | 10:22 |
| ikonia | Jordan_U: however the lack of willingness to read the text will end up in the same way | 10:22 |
| erry | i never touchged it | 10:22 |
| airtonix | ... | 10:22 |
| ikonia | erry: exactly, the file is probably right, and just needs re-applying | 10:22 |
| erry | ikonia, ok, how do i 're-apply' it | 10:23 |
| ikonia | erry: again - if you READ the guide, it walks through it | 10:23 |
| erry | ikonia, it talks about rescue mode and stuff in this guide | 10:23 |
| ominor | anyone know what happen with #linux ? | 10:23 |
| ikonia | erry: we are done here - it's up to you have to take it forward | 10:23 |
| ominor | nick flood attack ? | 10:23 |
| ikonia | ominor: ask in #freenode | 10:23 |
| Joss_ | bazhang, no idea man ? | 10:23 |
| erry | ikonia, but you said to ask questions if i odnt understand! | 10:23 |
| erry | ikonia, i dont understand what part of the guide i should follow | 10:24 |
| erry | it has 1000 things | 10:24 |
| Jordan_U | ominor: It's ##linux, since it's not officially affiliated with the linux kernel project. | 10:24 |
| ikonia | erry: yes, and you're not listening to the anwwers, so it's up to you how you take it forward | 10:24 |
| erry | i want instructions _speciufic_ to recovering grub! | 10:24 |
| bazhang | Joss_, not an iPod? just a usb flash key? | 10:24 |
| ikonia | erry: and they are in that guide | 10:24 |
| erry | ikonia, WHERE | 10:24 |
| ikonia | erry: as you've been told, I'm not repeating that again | 10:24 |
| ominor | Jordan_U: its invitation only :S | 10:24 |
| ikonia | erry: it's not 1 step - you have to work through the guide, applying common sense | 10:24 |
| Joss_ | bazhang, yes and a HDD | 10:24 |

| bazhang | ominor, /join #freenode | 10:25 |
| erry | ikonia, it explains how to install, how to configure it, how to change its display behavior about errors but it onlky has 1 line about recover mode which again i dont get | 10:25 |
| erry | it has about reinstalling | 10:25 |
| erry | it has nothing about recovering | 10:25 |
| === ominor is now known as ali_abdulah | ||
| ikonia | erry: then re-installing is the way forward for you | 10:25 |
| erry | ikonia, im sure theres a way to recover it | 10:27 |
| ikonia | erry: there is | 10:27 |
| ikonia | erry: it's documented in that guide | 10:27 |
| erry | ikonia, good, what is it? | 10:27 |
| erry | ikonia, where in that guide? | 10:27 |
| ikonia | erry: look at "reinstalling grub2" pick one of the methods | 10:27 |
| erry | ikonia, ok i got it back, almost all of it | 10:27 |
| erry | ikonia, but im missing a menu entry | 10:27 |
| erry | you know what nevermind, it works | 10:28 |
| ikonia | erry: then look at the configuring grub section | 10:28 |
| erry | forget the menu entry | 10:28 |
| erry | i dont need it | 10:28 |
| ikonia | great, then you are solved | 10:28 |
| erry | im nt gonna mess it up again | 10:28 |
| erry | and if you dont want to mess it up dont touch it | 10:28 |
| gnosek | hi all, is there an archive of the repo at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git-repos/ubuntu/ubuntu-intrepid.git ? | 10:29 |
| erry | GRUB 2 allows users to create customized menu selections which will be automatically added to the main menu when sudo update-grub is executed. An empty 40_custom file is available in /etc/grub.d/ for use or to serve as an example to create other custom menus. Here are some considerations for custom menus: | 10:29 |
| erry | ikonia, so its safe to run update-grub? | 10:29 |
| erry | or will that make me lose it again | 10:29 |
| ikonia | erry: it should be fine | 10:29 |
| erry | ikonia, it says it cant find /boot/menu.lst | 10:29 |
| erry | /bot/grub* | 10:29 |
| erry | boot* | 10:30 |
| ikonia | erry: it shouldn't care about that file, it's grub2 - it doesn't use menu.st | 10:30 |
| ikonia | lst | 10:30 |
| erry | ikonia, i dont think it's grub2 | 10:30 |
| errifiuto | ciao | 10:30 |

| errifiuto | OK | 10:31 |
| erry | ikonia, when booting it says version 1.98 | 10:31 |
| ali_abdulah | erry: thats 2 | 10:32 |
| erry | ali_abdulah, oh | 10:32 |

| isarock | ./server irc.kamtiez.us | 10:34 |

| bricky | hey is there any way to find which ports are quicker if possible for downloading stuff | 10:35 |
| Misterio | bricky: ftp | 10:35 |
| funcqshun | hello, i have a bug in maverick, is this the right channel? | 10:35 |
| bricky | Misterio: hmmm | 10:35 |
| Misterio | bricky: But all ports are quick/slow, that deppends of your isp/speed... | 10:36 |
| bazhang | seaniek84, did you go to system administration hardware drivers and enable any | 10:36 |
| Misterio | and firewall, obviusly | 10:36 |
| bazhang | funcqshun, #ubuntu+1 | 10:36 |
| seaniek84 | yep i did and since i did that it wopuld not work. but i dont know how to change it back | 10:36 |
| bricky | Misterio: is there a way to find the fastest one like with a test? | 10:36 |
| bazhang | seaniek84, which card and which driver selected | 10:36 |
| bricky | sounds dumb but for me its necessary lol | 10:36 |
| Misterio | bricky: Well, I don't know, I never heard a port is faster than another one | 10:37 |
| Misterio | bricky: But I don't know | 10:37 |
| idefixx | bricky: all ports have the same 'speed' unless something throttles them, and that would have to do with your network setup | 10:37 |
| KenWRT54G | is there any way to get a usb harddrive to communicate to router/network via ethernet port?? | 10:38 |
| seaniek84 | sorry i got confused. the last thing i did before it stopped working was change the visual effects from none to normal | 10:38 |
| seaniek84 | thats when it stopped working | 10:38 |
| bricky | idefixx: ahh, okay im listening; , that would be nice | 10:39 |
| idefixx | bricky: what? | 10:39 |
| bricky | Misterio: ah, thanks anyway | 10:39 |
| bricky | idefixx: how would I go about doing that? throttling it, or setting it up | 10:39 |
| idefixx | bricky: do you want to do that, or do you want to find out whether something is slowing you down or not | 10:40 |
| bricky | idefixx: well, I suppose whichever is more convienent | 10:41 |
| jan__ | Guys I have a problem with Record my Desktop. Watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSKlI3EVFQg | 10:41 |

| seaniek84 | Guys, i cant login in gnome mode. When i do it freezes. I can only use Failsafe Gnome...can anyone help??? | 10:42 |
| idefixx | bricky: in any case... thorttling is usually done at router lvl, or via qos for example | 10:42 |
| slow-motion | hi | 10:42 |
| bricky | idefixx: thanks anyways, I appreciate it | 10:42 |
| bricky | ill keep that in mind | 10:43 |

| seaniek84 | Guys, i cant login in gnome mode. When i do it freezes. I can only use Failsafe Gnome...can anyone help??? | 10:43 |
| idefixx | bricky: yes qos is software (kernel) and router would be hardware | 10:44 |
| Jordan_U | bricky: QOS stands for Quality Of Service, it's not a single protocal. Many protocals can be used to manage QOS. | 10:44 |
| seaniek84 | im not sure ali_abdulah im not very technical | 10:44 |
| d3ngar | seaniek84: do you get a login screen at all? | 10:45 |
| d3ngar | Does it freeze after the login screen? | 10:45 |
| d3ngar | Does the screen turn black? | 10:45 |
| bricky | idefixx: since im directly hooked up with an ethernet cable , that would be a good idea to check out for me | 10:45 |
| d3ngar | Or is it just static? | 10:45 |
| === KenjiP0p is now known as KenjiP0p|away | ||
| seaniek84 | bui get to login were i have set up a login. If i login in gnome mode it logs in then freezes straight away. if i log in failsafe gnme mode then it all works. thats what mode im in now | 10:46 |

| ali_abdulah | seaniek84: put it to console / terminal | 10:47 |

| noren | hi all, need some help | 10:47 |
| noren | while creating NAP i am getting dbus.python.dbus.exception: Not autorished | 10:47 |
| Jordan_U | Silent_Dream: Why are you using Ubuntu 9.04? | 10:47 |
| noren | what to do ?? | 10:47 |
| Silent_Dream | Jordan_U: Why not? | 10:47 |
| Jordan_U | Silent_Dream: Ubuntu 10.04 is newer and hardware support generally gets better with each release (though there are some regressions). | 10:48 |
| seaniek84 | it is in terminal now | 10:48 |
| Silent_Dream | Jordan_U: is it possible to upgrade to 10.04 without losing any of my data? | 10:49 |
| io | noren: Is that the full error message? | 10:49 |
| Silent_Dream | without backing it up.. | 10:49 |
| Jordan_U | Silent_Dream: Yes, but you should always have backups of important data :) | 10:49 |
| ali_abdulah | seaniek84: press enter and show me output | 10:49 |
| d3ngar | absolutely | 10:49 |

| ubottu | Silent_Dream: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 10:49 |
| Silent_Dream | first to upgrade I need internet though | 10:49 |
| Jordan_U | Silent_Dream: As long as you can connect to the internet without wireless that is... | 10:50 |
| Silent_Dream | I can't | 10:50 |
| ali_abdulah | damn i am fat | 10:50 |
| ali_abdulah | er wrong channel | 10:50 |
| noren | io: org.freedesktop.DBus.Python.dbus.exceptions.DBusException: Not Authorized | 10:50 |
| Jordan_U | Silent_Dream: What wireless card do you have? (the chipset, if you know it). | 10:50 |
| Silent_Dream | Thanks for the upgrade link, I have bookmarked for later use | 10:51 |
| bricky | idefixx: I know its not necessary but just curios about it thats all plus a bit extra tuning might add some speed | 10:51 |
| Silent_Dream | Jordan_U: Its a Dlink wireless card, Im not sure of the chipset, how do I check easily on Windows? | 10:52 |
| io | noren: Are you using Ailurus? | 10:52 |
| Jordan_U | Silent_Dream: I don't know off hand, is it USB or PCI? | 10:53 |
| Silent_Dream | Jordan_U: I assume PCI because its not USB | 10:53 |
| Silent_Dream | its internal | 10:53 |
| Jordan_U | Silent_Dream: That's a good sign at least :) | 10:53 |
| idefixx | bricky: well google is your friend and that is really not a small thing your are asking about. basically its just a mechanism to tell some sort of hard(or soft)-ware: "Port 80 (http) traffic is more important to me then port 6889, please take care about that." | 10:53 |
| Silent_Dream | Jordan_U: Yeah, from what I hear, usb support is sketchy | 10:53 |
| Jordan_U | Silent_Dream: Can you be booted into Ubuntu and chat here at the same time? | 10:54 |
| Silent_Dream | Jordan_U: Well not really, seeing as I cant get internet working there | 10:54 |
| idefixx | bricky: and there are many ways to accomplish that btw. | 10:54 |
| Jordan_U | Silent_Dream: Only one computer? | 10:54 |
| Silent_Dream | Jordan_U: Yes, I am dual booting | 10:54 |
| Silent_Dream | I could put it on a VM but thats even less likely to work and its a pain | 10:55 |
| Shensueru | hi everyone | 10:55 |
| d3ngar | bye Shensueru | 10:55 |
| Silent_Dream | Jordan_U: if it helps, it says Ubuntu has detected wireless networks. But when I move my mouse towards the icon, it disappears strangely... | 10:55 |
| Silent_Dream | I dont know why this is | 10:55 |
| Silent_Dream | it says "click here" and I cant because it goes away when I try to click it | 10:56 |
| Silent_Dream | Jordan_U: Let me try this once again, and I will get back to you | 10:57 |
| Jordan_U | Silent_Dream: That sounds like a bug that will likely be fixed in 9.10 / 10.04. | 10:57 |

How do I have to have configured the Ubuntu update manager to stop it. | 11:01 |
| pavi | Jordan_U, thanks | 11:01 |
| ikonia | madrid: sorry - that's not supported here | 11:01 |
| Jordan_U | Silent_Dream: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KarmicUpgrades#Upgrading%20Using%20the%20Alternate%20CD/DVD explains it. | 11:01 |

| ubottu | madrid: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information.

| ikonia | madrid: max distro is not supported here | 11:03 |
| Jordan_U | Silent_Dream: Note that you'll need to upgrade to 9.10 first, then 10.04. You can't skip releases (except to go from one long term support release to another). | 11:04 |
| Silent_Dream | Jordan_U: Oh, good to know. So, where are the alternate install ISOS for 9.10 and 10.04? | 11:05 |
| pavi | Jordan_U, the link you gave is install GNU/Linux from windows . I am already running debian | 11:05 |
| madrid | the ubuntu update manager gives problems with max v.5.0 | 11:05 |
| tull | my jockey-gtk say about the nvidia driver that i installed with jockey-gtk: is in use a different version of this driver | 11:05 |
| Jordan_U | pavi: The link from ubottu gives many options, only one of which is to use wubi. | 11:05 |
| Silent_Dream | I think I found one; http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/ubuntu-9.10-alternate-i386.iso | 11:05 |

| Jordan_U | pavi: The standard Desktop installer will refuse to install to the same drive (even if a different partition), and the alternate install CD as far as I can tell can't be loop booted. However, the netinstall can be loop booted (or you can simply download the kernel and initrd files and load them directly) and will work on the same drive (since it's all loaded into RAM, it would even work if you deleted the partition with the is | 11:11 |

| toxichack3r | Hi, I'm running ubuntu server x64 and I get a kernel panic when following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVZ at the template installation step for 10.04. Anyone have experience with this? I've done it twice so far, and I'm also wondering what the "Concurrency Level" value should be with identical cpus - the total number of cores? | 11:12 |
| bricky | idefixx: well that makes sense, looking at it now, though I dont wish to limit anything more or less the opposite | 11:12 |
| Jordan_U | pavi: Just load this kernel http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/linux and this initrd http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz from grub and you will boot into the netboot installer. | 11:13 |
| bricky | unless limiting something makes something else go better, in which case, thats what I need, | 11:13 |
| pavi | Jordan_U, ok thank you will look into it | 11:13 |

| lewis1711 | wizard_: word to the wise, if you're interfacing with sun java stuff make sure you get sun java, and not open java | 12:09 |
| shomon | wizard_, or launch synaptic... | 12:09 |
| ubuntu | gopi : http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/2dgHfrtc | 12:09 |

| KungFuBear | ok, so when I do: startx, everything seems to just freeze up. | 12:11 |
| shomon | ah shit | 12:11 |
| shomon | did you have a look at that link I sent? | 12:11 |
| gopi | ubuntu:do u have ccsm | 12:11 |

| ubuntu | ok | 12:15 |
| lewis1711 | dennda: VLC off the top of my head can do it | 12:15 |
| shomon | KungFuBear, you could try "/etc/init.d/gdm start" | 12:15 |
| KungFuBear | shomon I'll try that now | 12:15 |
| private_meta | I got a font where, only in Ubuntu, there seems to be a system wide ligature when using the letters "fi". Is there a way to turn that off? | 12:15 |
| lewis1711 | I know VLC can view your webcam streaming, can probably record but never tried | 12:15 |
| asdgaard | @gopi, I have ccsm but there is not an option for the background | 12:16 |
| asdgaard | where should it be located? | 12:16 |
| shomon | ok this better work! fingers crossed | 12:16 |
| KungFuBear | shomon "Job is already running: gdm" | 12:17 |
| ubuntu | gopi : installing now just 5 minutes to finish | 12:17 |
| lewis1711 | you need it with catalyst. God, never buying a machine with a radeon card again | 12:17 |
| gopi | asdgaard: why do u need that | 12:17 |
| shomon | oh so maybe X is running right now! | 12:17 |
| CapaH | Installing 10.04 Server. It is on a screen that says "Wiping swap for security. (This may take a while.)" It has taken about 15 minutes, and doesn't seem to have progressed. I do not see the % progress bar moving at all. Should I keep waiting? | 12:17 |
| shomon | KungFuBear, you could try plressing ctrl-alt-f7 or f8 | 12:17 |
| asdgaard | gopi: because I wan't a different wallpaper on each monitor | 12:17 |
| KungFuBear | shomon but...I've tried CTRL+ALT [F1-F8]... | 12:17 |
| shomon | maybe it didn't complete the install and is missing bits? | 12:18 |
| KungFuBear | shomon in F7 and F8 its just a blank screen with a flashing cursor in the top left that '\r\n | 12:18 |
| KungFuBear | err | 12:18 |
| shomon | ok | 12:18 |
| shomon | you probably need to kill off X. not sure how to switch runlevels in ubuntu | 12:18 |
| lewis1711 | KungFuBear: X is the graphical system for unix machines, btw. so startx means start the graphical system. sorry what problem are you having right now? only read your post ages ago | 12:18 |
| shomon | but you can go to /etc/init.d/ and restart some of those as root... | 12:19 |
| KungFuBear | lewis1711: thanks. So I just upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 via apt... now when I boot into linux, I have no graphical system... I'm using my terminal-thingies right now | 12:19 |

| lewis1711 | KungFuBear: "lspci | grep VGA" should tell you | 12:21 |
| KungFuBear | VGA! that's what I needed :) | 12:21 |
| KungFuBear | thanks | 12:21 |
| lewis1711 | KungFuBear: are you newish to unix? can explain these commands if you want | 12:21 |
| shomon | newbizCAT, if you edit a file, put each command on one line, then you can "sh -x filename" | 12:21 |

| twoface | Hi. I am trying to get bind9 to listen on two ip's on a ubuntu server 8.04. If i create an ip alias eth0:0 and bring it up, bind9 rarely responds on any of the IPs. If i do ifdown eth0:0 everything works fine again. How can I get this to work? | 12:24 |
| KungFuBear | lewis1711: define 'separate'? | 12:25 |
| ikonia | twoface: what are the two ip's your trying to use | 12:25 |
| lewis1711 | well, not fused onto the motherboard | 12:25 |
| lewis1711 | like, removable | 12:25 |
| KungFuBear | ah | 12:25 |
| lewis1711 | discrete is the term I think | 12:25 |
| ikonia | twoface: the ip has to be listening before bind is started | 12:25 |
| KungFuBear | you know, I'm not sure | 12:25 |
| twoface | ikonia, 192.168.100.125 and 192.168.100.98 | 12:25 |
| twoface | ikonia, restarting bind9 after bringing up eth0:0 doesn't make any difference | 12:25 |
| ikonia | twoface: what is your listen directive set to ? | 12:25 |
| KungFuBear | hrm, I could boot into my windows partition and write all this stuff down, like my model and graphics cards and stuff | 12:26 |
| Billy_ | Anyone know if Ubuntu's GNOME terminal or fdisk create a log of some sorts by default? | 12:26 |
| twoface | ikonia, it isn't set - so it should listen on everything | 12:26 |
| twoface | ikonia, when eth0:0 is up, bind9 sometimes answers, although slow | 12:26 |
| lewis1711 | KungFuBear: well if your computer is new it should be on the box and all:) or on the driver CDs | 12:26 |

| Pr3nt1c3 | KenWRT54G, may not help, but try here: bashscripts.info | 13:09 |
| Dr_Willis | but it may depend on which server you got installed | 13:09 |
| iceroot | KenWRT54G: then is an endlos-loop | 13:09 |
| KenWRT54G | im sorry, i meant when the script runs it will either start the service or stop it. not just a restart | 13:09 |

| Dr_Willis | KenWRT54G: you want to 'toggle' it then? | 13:09 |
| KenWRT54G | correct. toggle the httpd | 13:09 |
| FreeFull | You could use ps to see if it's running, and then run service httpd stop or start depending on that | 13:10 |
| KenWRT54G | what would that look like tho? | 13:10 |
| Dr_Willis | service command can show if its running. | 13:11 |

| Pici | KenWRT54G: service apache2 status shoudln't return an exit code of 0 if it is still running, use that information to control whether you are going to stop or start it. | 13:12 |
| Dr_Willis | I cant really imagine why you would want to 'toggle' it. :0 Id eitehr want to tell it to be on, or off... | 13:13 |
| KenWRT54G | thx u guys are big help | 13:13 |
| Dr_Willis | unless you are getting some sort of 'feedback' on its status.. | 13:13 |
| KenWRT54G | well i want to toggle it because i dont keep the web gui running all the time. its a router i ssh into and start the web gui when i need it | 13:13 |
| Dr_Willis | KenWRT54G: the 'web gui' Huh? | 13:14 |

| Dr_Willis | Morten_: you want an 'easy' answer for a very big question/topic. | 13:17 |
| private_meta | I got a font where, only in Ubuntu, there seems to be a system wide ligature when using the letters "fi". Is there a way to turn that off? | 13:17 |
| Dr_Willis | bash$ ls -l [^ab]* | 13:17 |
| tuxrocks | why do servers use other version of ubuntu | 13:17 |
| Dr_Willis | matches NOT a* or b* | 13:17 |
| Dr_Willis | tuxrocks: you mean why is there a server edition of ubuntu? | 13:18 |
| joschi | tuxrocks: other default package selection. identical with "normal" ubuntu otherwise | 13:18 |
| tuxrocks | ya | 13:18 |
| private_meta | tuxrocks: because for servers you don't need a xwindow server, no gui | 13:18 |
| Dr_Willis | tuxrocks: differnt defaults, and no X needed. | 13:18 |
| Dr_Willis | and a few other default things installed i think. | 13:18 |
| Dr_Willis | tuxrocks: you can run a server using the desktop edition if you wanted | 13:18 |
| tuxrocks | so it has only terminal? | 13:18 |
| Dr_Willis | tuxrocks: its 'console' by default. yes | 13:19 |
| private_meta | You could also install GDM on your server edition | 13:19 |
| tuxrocks | it has any tools for server | 13:19 |
| tuxrocks | n/w tools | 13:19 |
| private_meta | So it's pretty much simplifying or omitting some install or configuration effort | 13:20 |
| tuxrocks | i want to host my website on server...wt do i use.. | 13:20 |
| joschi | tuxrocks: apache httpd? | 13:21 |
| Dr_Willis | tuxrocks: comervcial server? or just one on your home lan? | 13:21 |
| tuxrocks | home | 13:21 |

| bobo123 | Hi, I have a problem that when I try to start CompizConfig Settings Manager, it justs hang... what can I do to make it work? | 13:22 |
| Dr_Willis | may as well use the desktop edition. so you can use the server as a giant Clock. :) or somthing.. | 13:22 |
| vikasap | If I suspend my computer, what happens to the process that is currently running ? Will I be able to continue the execution of this process after I come back from suspension state ? | 13:22 |
| vikasap | Or hibernate (I think they are more or less similar) | 13:22 |
| private_meta | It should, if it's not dependent on active network connections I guess | 13:22 |
| Dr_Willis | vikasap: thats the theory. BUt some programs dont like gettting suspended. and can cause issues. | 13:22 |
| vikasap | Dr_Willis: How would I know if my program is like that ? | 13:22 |
| arand | bobo123: What happens if you tru to run it from the terminal? Error message? If you temporarily rename your compiz settings folder in home? | 13:23 |
| bobo123 | right now it just creates a dark grey window with nothing in it, with the title "Simple COmpizConfig Settings Manager" | 13:23 |
| private_meta | vikasap: test it | 13:23 |
| bihari | :-? | 13:23 |
| vikasap | private_meta: I cant as the program is running for the past 4 hours . :D | 13:23 |

| Dr_Willis | vikasap: err... try it and see. | 13:23 |
| private_meta | my sentiments exactly | 13:24 |
| bihari | hi vikasap | 13:24 |
| Dr_Willis | we cant magically know. :) | 13:24 |
| vikasap | hi bihari | 13:24 |

| arand | bobo123: If you look at "ps -A | grep compiz" is there anything listed there that might be a dead compiz setting application? | 13:24 |
| private_meta | vikasap: You can look it up in google, maybe someone posted a problem with the specific application, apart from that I'm not sure we could know | 13:25 |
| private_meta | vikasap: at least without you telling us what App it is | 13:25 |
| private_meta | or what it does | 13:25 |
| bihari | what is the problem vikasap | 13:25 |
| vikasap | private_meta: It is an app written by me , it writes a lot of data to the disk. | 13:25 |
| bobo123 | arand: the program that starts when I press then button in Visual effects tab seems to be "/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/simple-ccsm" and that hangs even when started from command line, but it saus five DeprecationWarning: Use the new widget gtk.Tooltip | 13:25 |
| private_meta | vikasap: Normal disk i/o shouldn't be a problem, as long you don't modify the disk while it's in hibernation | 13:26 |
| bobo123 | on the other hand if I start "ccsm" (isn't that one the program supposed to start from the dialogbox?) then that one works! | 13:26 |
| vikasap | private_meta: Oh then I guess I am good | 13:26 |

| pozic | Is there a recommended hardware laptop list for Ubuntu? | 13:28 |
| Dr_Willis | !hardware | 13:28 |
| ubottu | For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 13:28 |
| craptastic | To | 13:29 |
| pozic | Dr_Willis: I don't want just supported hardware, I want actually open hardware if possible. | 13:29 |
| Dr_Willis | pozic: most decently new machines should work. main issues these days are wiaht wireless and video | 13:29 |
| Geralt | Hi, which package contains the libc manpages? | 13:29 |
| Dr_Willis | pozic: good luck finding 'open hardware' | 13:29 |
| pozic | Dr_Willis: that is, such that I could write drivers for it myself when nobody else cares to do so. | 13:29 |
| Guest47281 | ; | 13:29 |
| bobo123 | arand: it just seems to be wrong program that starts from the dialogbox? if I start "ccsm" from commandline it says "Info: No sexy-python package found, don't worry it's optional. Loading icons..." btw, but it seems to work ok without problem. | 13:29 |
| pozic | Dr_Willis: drivers generally stink on Linux. | 13:29 |
| Dr_Willis | pozic: thats not eaxactly the definition of 'open' hardware that i would use. | 13:29 |
| === Guest47281 is now known as ricky_cezar | ||
| pozic | Dr_Willis: ok, documented hardware. | 13:29 |
| pozic | Dr_Willis: documented hardware is also hard to find. | 13:30 |
| arand | bobo123: I think the deprecationwarning is just a warning and unrelated... but it sounds as though simple-compizconfig-settings-manager mesees up somehow... | 13:30 |
| Dr_Willis | if hardware has deccent specs and the companies help support linux. there tends to be decent drivers for the things | 13:30 |
| pozic | Dr_Willis: ok, what is the laptop with the greatest amount of documented hardware? | 13:30 |
| Dr_Willis | pozic: i do recall some 'open source' motherboard/bios projects. :) but thats about it for what ive seen | 13:30 |
| Dr_Willis | pozic: for a linux laptop. I would check out what sites like system76 sell. | 13:30 |
| pozic | Dr_Willis: most of that is for embedded hardware. | 13:31 |
| Dr_Willis | laptops can change so fast its scary | 13:31 |
| arand | bobo123: Maybe removing it, and thus runniing only with ccsm might work better, or re-installing sccsm if you do want it. | 13:31 |
| pozic | Dr_Willis: and yet they use the same instruction set for over 30 years. | 13:31 |
| bobo123 | ok | 13:31 |
| pozic | Dr_Willis: platform drivers are pretty trivial as far as software goes. | 13:31 |
| idefixx | pozic: hardware with open spec have almost all very good linux support, because they are 'open'. So you wont have to write kernel stuff for them because its easy enough and almost alwas already in there | 13:31 |
| Dr_Willis | pozic: and the biggest issue these days is with APCI, and wireless.. | 13:31 |
| Dr_Willis | acpi apic? i get them backwards. | 13:31 |
| pozic | Dr_Willis: you only have to know where to write what value (which is what the documentation should say). | 13:32 |
| idefixx | pozic: that is to say the only problematic hardware is the one which is not 'open' so you should get that if you want to write your own stuff for it... | 13:32 |
| pozic | idefixx: yes, and the question is "give me a specific model with these properties, please". | 13:32 |
| pozic | idefixx: I want to have the least amount of issues and I want to vote with my money. | 13:32 |

| stetho | Hi - I'm having a problem - it's actually with Cacti but I don't think Cacti is the cause. In Cacti you have the facility to import XML templates. Some of the devices that I want to monitor with Cacti return temperatures and the XML contains °C - the degree symbol. During the import the XML parser chokes on this character. Imports work if I delete the degree symbol. I can't tell if it's a UTF8 or similar problem. Anyone know if there's a package I should i | 13:37 |
| stetho | to fix this? | 13:37 |

| PerryArmstrong | tuxrocks, how do i make it for every file | 14:19 |

| cdubya | I think I may have found my own answer | 15:37 |
| ezraw | anyone use chrome and figure out how to make the fonts bigger, other than zooming the whole page | 15:37 |
| Pici | tyrosine, erUSUL: you want -p22. The -PS22 specifies source ports. | 15:37 |
| aravind_ | so..i'd changed into lucid..and i've got a few problems.. | 15:37 |
| ascheel | aravind_: can't help ya unless you tell us what those problems are. | 15:38 |
| ascheel | or you could just leave. That's cool, too. | 15:38 |
| Pici | Actually its not source ports, but its not what you want either./ | 15:38 |
| IsmAvatar | is there a way to map a certain keyboard key to act as a left mouse button? | 15:38 |
| BluesKaj | ascheel, not much patitnce there :( | 15:38 |
| ascheel | BluesKaj: I hear ya. Probably using a java chat client and clicked a link. | 15:39 |

| spectacular | magnetron, i installed it, what do i do with it? | 15:39 |
| magnetron | spectacular: you install the windows drivers for it | 15:39 |
| spectacular | magnetron, how? | 15:40 |
| magnetron | spectacular: there's a gui for ndiswrapper. i suggest using that | 15:40 |
| spectacular | ok | 15:40 |
| erUSUL | Pici: !? man page "Examples are -PS22 .... " host discovery option that can specify destination port... how is that not what he/she wants ? | 15:41 |
| Pici | erUSUL: Thats for host discovery. It does not limit the ports that nmap will probe if the host does indeed appear to exist. | 15:42 |
| terinjokes | hey, i'm having some issues with mysql-server not starting at boot-time, anyone know how i can fix this? | 15:42 |
| ascheel | terinjokes: try using this: sudo apt-get rcconf | 15:45 |
| ascheel | terinjokes: try using this: sudo apt-get install rcconf | 15:45 |
| ascheel | Sorry, typed it out wrong first time through. | 15:46 |
| terinjokes | ascheel: how will that help? i already added it to the default runleve | 15:49 |
| ascheel | terinjokes: You asked, I answered. I had the problem and removing/adding it using rcconf fixed it. | 15:50 |
| Vaevictus | 1.) when did 10.04 LTS come out, and 2.) how do i tell what version of ubuntu a server is running ? | 15:52 |

| iceroot | Vaevictus: ubuntu versionnumber is always YEAR.MONTH | 15:53 |
| iceroot | deavid: mythbuntu | 15:53 |
| Dulak | deavid: mythbuntu | 15:53 |
| abhi_nav | iceberg, lol :D | 15:54 |
| Vaevictus | iceroot: even better, ty ty! :) | 15:54 |
| deavid | thank you :) | 15:54 |
| iceroot | abhi_nav: what is so funny? | 15:54 |
| abhi_nav | iceroot, nothing | 15:54 |
| iceroot | abhi_nav: then please dont spam useless "lol" | 15:54 |
| Dulak | deavid: you can install any of the popular media center apps on most distros | 15:54 |
| Vaevictus | is there a command to see what the status is of init.d scripts ? (a list of which init.d services and statuses? ) | 15:56 |
| iceroot | Vaevictus: what status? if it is running? | 15:56 |
| Vaevictus | iceroot: aye, for each one. gentoo has "rc-status" | 15:57 |
| iceroot | Vaevictus: hm, just know /etc/init.d/apache2 status and so on | 15:57 |
| Vaevictus | iceroot: k :) ty, again :) i can script that easily enough. | 15:58 |

| rocket16 | Hello all, | 15:59 |
| rocket16 | If we compile softwares on Ubuntu, insteading of installing them with apt-get, will the speed be faster? | 15:59 |
| LjL | not really | 15:59 |
| coz_ | rocket16, well it depends on the software | 15:59 |
| coz_ | rocket16, one advantage of compiling current versions is fewer bugs | 16:00 |
| rocket16 | coz_: Thanks, but in general, will the speed be the same? | 16:00 |
| coz_ | rocket16, or bug fixes | 16:00 |
| rocket16 | coz_: Ah, thanks, :) | 16:00 |
| Vaevictus | rocket16: you can, occasionally, get some optimizations, however, if you screw something up, you can have de-optimizations | 16:00 |
| coz_ | rocket16, howeve there are times it can be less helpful..especially if you compile the developer versions...these sometimes catian experimental features that could brreak however too often and again depending on the software | 16:00 |
| rocket16 | Vaevictus: Thanks, I'll keep that in mind, :) | 16:01 |
| rocket16 | coz_: Oh, I see. Thanks, :) | 16:01 |
| bankix | Hi. Could someone tell me which file contains that little black ubuntu logo displayed on the upper left corner of the gnome desktop (left in the upper panel)? I want to exchange it to a different icon, but I'm just unable to find the right file. | 16:01 |
| coz_ | rocket16, in all honesty I usually compile or use a ppa | 16:01 |
| iceroot | rocket16: the speed is faster if you compile the program by yourself but normally you will not notice the speed-advantage | 16:01 |
| coz_ | rocket16, one clear advantage of compiling is compiz | 16:01 |
| coz_ | rocket16, it will work way way better than the one in the repository | 16:02 |
| LjL | iceroot: what makes it faster? | 16:02 |
| coz_ | rocket16, but the 0.9.0 is unstable but the 0.8.x series is fine to compile | 16:02 |
| rocket16 | coz_: Thanks, :) | 16:02 |
| plazia | I've just installed a new motherboard (old one had dual lan so eth0 and eth1) and now this new mobo's lan is showing as eth2. Is there a way I can rename the interface to eth0? | 16:02 |
| coz_ | rocket16, also compiling gives good experience in linux | 16:03 |
| Vaevictus | plazia: if you solve that problem, please let me know how | 16:03 |
| Vaevictus | plazia: i had a similar issue arise | 16:03 |
| bankix | plazia: You have to edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | 16:03 |
| iceroot | LjL: its not build for i386, its build for your architecture like i686 | 16:03 |
| iceroot | LjL: also other optimations for your cpu are used | 16:03 |
| LjL | iceroot: not with the default compile options, i don't think... | 16:03 |
| iceroot | LjL: a normal deb is build for i386 | 16:04 |
| iceroot | LjL: also with the default | 16:04 |
| bankix | plazia: Or just delete that file, it will be generated at next boot. | 16:04 |
| LjL | iceroot: so if i compile a package from the repos, then the resulting binary package won't work on other computers? | 16:04 |
| plazia | bankix, thanks matey Vaevictus I think bankix has furnished us with a suitable solution. | 16:05 |
| iceroot | LjL: you are not compiling from the repo | 16:05 |
| Roasted_ | So I'm having problems with my intel graphics card picking different resolutions on random restarts. I do not have a xorg file. How can I generate a xorg file + force it to 1280x800 all of the time? | 16:05 |
| Vaevictus | bankix: <3 ... i had that problem for months. i just hacked my rc.local to start eth1 instead :) | 16:05 |
| Vaevictus | or something nasty like that | 16:05 |
| LjL | iceroot: well, nobody actually said whether they intended to compile from the repos or not. but anyway, how does it make a difference? | 16:05 |
| bankix | Vaevictus: Just ask me :-D | 16:05 |
| iceroot | LjL: debs are precompilied | 16:06 |
| Vaevictus | bankix: you rock :) | 16:06 |
| Milk_ | can anyone help me with associating wifi card with router | 16:06 |
| LjL | iceroot: err ok, but i'm saying if you compile the *source* package of course. | 16:06 |
| bankix | Vaevictus: I wrote some articles on udev, that's why I know about. Otherways I wouldn't either ;-) | 16:06 |
| iceroot | LjL: but if you build something from source on your architecture its faster then building it on i386 | 16:06 |
| LjL | iceroot: you know, "apt-get --build source cowsay" | 16:06 |
| iceroot | LjL: yes then of course | 16:06 |
| iceroot | LjL: yes | 16:06 |
| LjL | iceroot: well, so the generated .deb package won't work on other computers? | 16:06 |
| iceroot | LjL: as i said, normally its faster but you would not see the speed-advantage | 16:07 |
| Vaevictus | bankix: and here i was thinking it was some obscurity inside gentoo. :) but it's a /feature/ of udev, not a bug of gentoo :) | 16:07 |
| iceroot | LjL: the debs are build on i386 | 16:07 |
| LjL | iceroot: gah. | 16:07 |
| iceroot | LjL: linux-kernel is build on i486 | 16:07 |
| LjL | iceroot: if i type "apt-get build source package", that means *I* am making the binary deb. | 16:07 |
| === nvermeer is now known as NickV | ||
| iceroot | LjL: you cant run linux-kernel on i386 | 16:07 |
| bankix | Vaevictus: Exactly. It's just one of the rules script now residing in /lib/udev/rules.d that creates this rules file. | 16:07 |
| === NickV is now known as nvermeer | ||
| bankix | LjL: Well, the packages I create are running on other installations as well... dunno why they shouldn't. | 16:08 |
| iceroot | LjL: if you build the kernel on i686 its faster the the one build on i486 but you cant run the i686 kernel on i486 systems | 16:09 |
| LjL | bankix: well, iceroot seems to be claiming that if you have, say, a K7, then they will be built with K7 optimizations, and therefore won't work on a Pentium (i686). that seems quite strange to me. | 16:09 |
| flames | how to make conky background transparent | 16:09 |
| iceroot | LjL: depending on the compiler | 16:09 |
| iceroot | LjL: linux is not working on i386 anymore because its optimized for i486 | 16:10 |
| LjL | well of course i'm talking about the standard compiler, gcc. | 16:10 |
| bankix | LjL: There he's right -- if you optimize it for a specific CPU, it won't run on a different one if you have not the same functions/compatibility there. | 16:10 |
| LjL | iceroot: right, but it's compiled with OPTIONS that make it optimized for i486. if you don't specify those when compiling, it doesn't get optimized. | 16:10 |
| iceroot | LjL: hm, i am/was sure gcc is auto optimizing | 16:10 |
| LjL | bankix: and that's true. but he seems to be saying that, somehow, you don't have to explicitly optimize it for your CPU, as that's done automatically. | 16:10 |
| bankix | LjL: For example the PAE kernel. Won't run on CPUs without PAE. | 16:10 |
| broon_sparrow | hi. I was installing openoffice when my computer crashed, now I can neither install nor un-install open office either using the 'add programme' or the Package manager. ANy ideas how i can uninstall/install it? | 16:11 |
| ubutom | 64 bit vs 32 bit would also be a problem, no? | 16:11 |
| LjL | ubutom: well sure, but that's just a totally different arch | 16:11 |
| ve2dmn | broon_sparow: what's the error message? | 16:11 |
| bankix | LjL: AFAIK when rebuilding a package you'll use the distro defaults, so no machine specific optimizations. | 16:12 |
| LjL | bankix: that's what i thought | 16:13 |
| iceroot | LjL: if i compile hello-world with gcc, file is telling me its i686 | 16:13 |

| bankix | LjL: I won't swear, but from my practice I'd say that's true. | 16:13 |
| iceroot | LjL: without any options for gcc, just default gcc (i am on lenny atm) | 16:13 |
| iceroot | LjL: just tested some minutes before | 16:14 |
| broon_sparrow | is what i get when I use add programmes | 16:14 |

| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 16:16 |
| bankix | iceroot: But it depends on the building scripts which architecture will be compiled. E.g. the kernel will be compiled for _various_ architectures and variants as default, regardless on which architecture your're building it on. | 16:16 |
| ve2dmn | broon_sparrow: I'm not entirely sure what would correct that but you need to re-install everything... Forcing the removal... | 16:16 |

| aravind_ | bankix: is there a command that would list out my partition setup? | 16:33 |
| coz_ | also sudo apt-get autoremove nameof package will remove un-shared dependecies as well...as I recall | 16:33 |
| aravind_ | bankix: give what a try? | 16:33 |
| bankix | aravind_: When the ubuntu bootloader starts, press one key, e.g. Esc. | 16:34 |
| broon_sparrow | ve2dmn: yeah got that. but now get this error http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/QLtL1Me2 | 16:34 |
| bankix | aravind_: Then go to the command line (with "c") and enter: | 16:34 |
| bankix | aravind_: root (hd0,2) | 16:34 |
| Roasted_ | bankix, k, got it in. is 755 perms okay for xorg.conf? | 16:34 |
| bankix | aravind_: chainloader +1 | 16:34 |
| bankix | aravind_: Then let boot grub. | 16:34 |
| Alpha | mleger, i use dd and image the drive as a back up, same with the home folder which is on a separate drive | 16:35 |
| bankix | Roasted_: Yes, that's ok. | 16:35 |
| Roasted_ | bankix, k, gonna reboot and see what happens - thanks again. | 16:35 |
| bankix | Roasted_: 644 would last also. | 16:35 |
| hogan | I'm trying to add some PPAs and it's whinging about not getting a valid response from keyserver.ubuntu.com .. am thinking it's down .. ideas? | 16:35 |
| ve2dmn | broon_sparrow: you could always try the big artillery: 'sudo dpkg --remove --force-all <name of package>' | 16:35 |
| bankix | Roasted_: Hopefully it works... | 16:35 |
| bankix | Roasted_: You did edit the resolutions? | 16:35 |
| GeO` | hmm I don't get something, I do df -h, then I delete large files, I do df -h again and nothing changed | 16:35 |
| GeO` | does it take some time , | 16:35 |
| GeO` | ? | 16:35 |
| Roasted_ | bankix, no, because the first resolution you gave me was the native one I wanted anyway | 16:35 |
| Roasted_ | bankix, the 1280x800 | 16:35 |
| broon_sparrow | ve2dmn: sounds cary ;-) I'll give it a shot | 16:35 |
| aravind_ | bankix: bash: syntax error near unexpected token `hd0,2' | 16:35 |
| bankix | Roasted_: I'm not sure it contained the resolution you was looking for. | 16:35 |
| Roasted_ | bankix, sure did :P | 16:35 |
| bankix | aravind_: At grub you have to enter this two lines. | 16:36 |
| Roasted_ | rebooting | 16:36 |
| bankix | aravind: Within the bootloader. | 16:36 |
| aravind_ | ph okay | 16:36 |
| aravind_ | *oh | 16:36 |
| aravind_ | bankix: what would that do? | 16:36 |
| ve2dmn | broon_sparrow: It's the big artillery: it can make "mister bad packet" go away, but it can also make good thing go away... | 16:36 |
| bankix | aravind: That will read and boot the bootsector of sda3. | 16:36 |
| aravind_ | oh okay tnx! | 16:37 |
| bankix | aravind: So your fedora bootloader, if it's really installed in the bootsector of your partition. | 16:37 |
| ve2dmn | broon_sparrow: meant package, not packet.... | 16:37 |
| zors | tried to setup buntu alongside xp for a friend but xp install failed... how do i remove grud bootloader to start over? | 16:37 |
| GeO` | hmm I don't get something, I do df -h, then I delete large files, I do df -h again and nothing changed, does it take sometimes to update ? | 16:37 |
| aravind_ | bankix: so..isnt there a way that would make fedora listed in my grub? | 16:38 |
| bankix | Still nobody here who can tell me in which file I do find the little ubuntu logo you see on the upper left corner (left in the upper gnome panel)? | 16:38 |
| aravind_ | bankix: hope this gives a clue on my setup http://i46.tinypic.com/2ry0dac.jpg | 16:38 |
| broon_sparrow | ve2dmn: seems to work for openoffice.org-common but not for openoffice.org-writer. i'll keep blasting away and see what packages I can remove that way | 16:39 |
| bankix | aravind_: I'm pretty sure you're _not_ booting from /dev/sda3. | 16:39 |
| ve2dmn | broon_sparrow:try to re-install them once they are removed | 16:39 |
| bankix | aravind_: That's your LVM partition | 16:39 |
| aravind_ | bankix: okay | 16:40 |
| aravind_ | i'll give it a try and let you know! | 16:40 |
| aravind_ | be back in a flash :) | 16:40 |
| bankix | aravind_: good luck. | 16:40 |
| broon_sparrow | ve2dmn: will do thanks, just realised the time, better get tea on! but I'll be back and give 'em a blast later. | 16:40 |
| aravind_ | tnx | 16:40 |

| GeO` | a text file my website generated | 16:43 |
| yzjqrz | hi | 16:43 |
| bankix | GeO: Which filesystems? | 16:43 |
| GeO` | I don't know | 16:43 |
| ve2dmn | GeO`: if it does not go away it meant there's some process using that file... | 16:44 |

| GeO` | the file is removed, but the df -h ddidn't change | 16:44 |
| Roasted | bankix, no dice. | 16:44 |
| aravind_ | bankix: for the first command,this was the output "Filesystem is ext2" and for the second "error:invalid signature" | 16:44 |
| ve2dmn | GeO`: as soon as that process terminates it will make the space as available | 16:44 |
| aravind_ | what do i do now? | 16:44 |
| webPragmatist | why is there by default a /srv/cvs directory? | 16:44 |

| Roasted | bankix, booted into low graphics mode several times. even tried to reconfigure, no dice. dropped to terminal mode and renamed xorg.conf to something else so it didnt use that file. now Im back and running. | 16:44 |
| bankix | Roasted: Have a look at the logfile in /var/log | 16:44 |
| rob_p | GeO`: How did you delete it? If you used the gui, maybe it simply got moved to the, "trash" directory in which case, it would still be taking up space. | 16:44 |

| ve2dmn | GeO`: it's the log for what? | 16:46 |
| GeO` | it was like that by default | 16:46 |
| bankix | Roasted: Just search in the log for the resolution you wanted and see if the mode was skipped. | 16:46 |
| GeO` | ve2dmn it's a log generated by my website, concerning some activities | 16:46 |

| aravind_ | bankix: any further clues? | 16:48 |
| hramrach | are the Ubuntu keyservers down? | 16:48 |
| ve2dmn | GeO`: if the file was still available you could check which process is using it with lsof or fuser | 16:48 |
| hramrach | I cannot import the PPA keys | 16:48 |

| MamboKing | hello | 16:48 |
| tertl3 | rpms ftw! | 16:48 |
| arulalan | Dear All, i have a doubt. How can i write graphics program in GCC. I googled , but cant get good link for this | 16:49 |
| MamboKing | how do you get ubuntu to detect a new network card from the command line? I'm running 10.4 server LTS | 16:49 |
| arulalan | i cant post this query in #gcc. it says ' Cannot send to channel' | 16:49 |
| aravind_ | bankix: i guess you didnt read my previous lines..here..the second command says "error:invalid signature" | 16:49 |
| Pici | !keyserver | hramrach hsoj | 16:49 |
| ubottu | hramrach hsoj: The ubuntu key server is to be found at http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371. If this one is unresponsive you can use most other gpg key servers as well - for instance http://pgp.mit.edu/ | 16:49 |
| GeO` | well I guess it was my bad...anyway, can I do something now concerning the partitions ? Maybe define them better, I don't know what to do | 16:49 |
| rob_p | GeO`: The reason I ask is, even a file of 100MB in size would only change the available disk space by 1/100th on your smallest partition. Perhaps df is rounding the number and you aren't seening it. | 16:49 |
| bankix | aravind_: Yes, that's because it's a LVM partition | 16:49 |
| Pici | arulalan: You need to be registered and identified to talk there. see... | 16:49 |
| bankix | aravind_: This is not the location of your bootloader. | 16:50 |
| mo__ | arularan, google for gtk tutorial, qt tut or wxwindow. | 16:50 |
| Pici | !register > arulalan | 16:50 |
| ubottu | arulalan, please see my private message | 16:50 |
| aravind_ | bankix: oh! how do i find the location of my bootloader then? is there a way? | 16:50 |
| bankix | aravind_: Default is the bootloader gets installed into the MBR. But then it was overwritten by ubuntu. | 16:50 |
| ve2dmn | GeO`: if you used LVM it's possible to change the size of partitions live... if not, you'll have to use something else... or buy a new Hard drive | 16:50 |
| aravind_ | bankix: what do i do now? | 16:51 |
| mo__ | aru, what do you want do dev anyways? | 16:51 |
| bankix | aravind_: Then you'd need a Fedora cd and do a repair. | 16:51 |
| aravind_ | bankix: isnt there a way i can just recover my data? | 16:51 |
| bankix | aravind_: So booting fedora, mounting partition, and starting "grub-install" again | 16:51 |
| hramrach | Pici: how do you tell apt-key to use that? | 16:51 |
| bankix | aravind_: You can mount the LVM, but that's not easy. | 16:51 |
| aravind_ | bankix: well..will that grub display ubuntu? | 16:52 |
| arulalan | mo_: i need to write graphics program like in turboc. not fully Gtk and Qt program | 16:52 |
| Pici | hramrach: use: gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys <key> && gpg --export --armor <key> | sudo apt-key add - | 16:52 |
| bankix | aravind_: Nope, you'll have to extend the grub config of Fedora to be able to boot ubuntu as well. | 16:52 |
| aravind_ | bankix: how about BURG? | 16:52 |
| mo__ | arulalan, ah, with opengl for example? | 16:52 |
| hramrach | Pici: thanks, that works | 16:53 |
| bankix | aravind: Best practice is to install all bootloaders into the bootsectors of their root partitions, then it's easy to switch between the distros. | 16:53 |
| bankix | aravind_: I don't know BURG. | 16:53 |
| ve2dmn | GeO`: to find your bigest file, try 'sudo du / | sort -n' | 16:53 |
| hramrach | looks like the apt-key thing is broken then | 16:53 |
| aravind_ | bankix: okay,tnx! | 16:53 |
| ve2dmn | GeO`: (it might take some time) | 16:53 |

| roken | ? | 17:20 |
| rob_p | MasterRoot: Do, "ps -A | grep rsyslog" and it should produce something similar to: 618 ? 00:00:00 rsyslogd | 17:20 |
| bihari | but i like gaychi | 17:20 |
| bihari | what wrong in gyachi | 17:21 |
| abhi_nav | !gyachi | 17:21 |
| MasterRoot | doesn't return anything :-) | 17:21 |
| izyum | How to change size of Plymouth Boot-Splash Logo of Ubuntu? It became bigger after graphics card drivers was installed. | 17:21 |
| Milk_ | can anyone help me with connecting wifi on ubuntu . i have been trying to do it manually via terminal with no luck | 17:21 |
| rob_p | MasterRoot: Then that's why! Did you disable it? | 17:21 |
| MasterRoot | rob_p: how do I reply to your messages, like you are to mine? | 17:22 |
| aravind_ | i've got some unpartitioned space on my computer,how do i use it now? | 17:22 |
| MasterRoot | don't think i've disabled it | 17:22 |
| MasterRoot | but I'm not disputing that it's not running! :-) | 17:22 |
| izyum | I have asked about it in Russian Support and they recommended /etc/usplash.conf, but file doesn't exist. | 17:22 |
| rob_p | MasterRoot: standby | 17:24 |
| bankix | izyum: The logo have a fixed size | 17:24 |
| abhi_nav | aravind_, format it and use it? | 17:25 |
| MasterRoot | ok :-) | 17:25 |
| bankix | izyum: You could edit the PNG graphics and scale it manually, but keep the colors -- one RGB and one 16-color version. | 17:25 |
| izyum | bankix: I know, but when logo shows, my monitor has 640*800 %) Something like that %) | 17:25 |
| izyum | But standart is 1680*1050 %) | 17:25 |
| bankix | izyum: Yes, with such a small resolution the logo is huge. | 17:25 |
| arccsc | hello all | 17:25 |
| MasterRoot | hey | 17:26 |
| izyum | bankix: Do you known how to change it? | 17:26 |
| bankix | izyum: Just edit the files. Look at the files belonging to the package plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo | 17:26 |
| frxstrem | is there a reason why ubuntu freezes all the freaking time? | 17:27 |
| thune3 | frxstrem: by freeze you mean? | 17:27 |
| rob_p | MasterRoot: Sorry about that. I'm actually at work so sometimes I have to *actually work* :-) | 17:27 |
| MasterRoot | hehe no probs :-) | 17:28 |
| MSHughes | rob_p, amazing :o | 17:28 |
| bankix | izyum: So "dpkg -L plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo" will list you the files, edit the PNGs with gimp. | 17:28 |
| roken | anyone knows why ubuntu 10.04 does not recognize several devices such as an ipod or an external hard drive? | 17:28 |
| abhi_nav | !ipod > roken | 17:28 |
| ubottu | roken, please see my private message | 17:28 |
| rob_p | MasterRoot: Anyway, you can look in /etc/init/rsyslog.conf to see if it's enabled for your runlevel, etc. | 17:28 |
| bankix | roken: Ubuntu 10.04 does, indeed, here. | 17:28 |
| frxstrem | thune3: not being able to interact with the computer in any way whatsoever (screen doesn't update, audio playback starts looping and mouse and keyboard input is mostly ignored) | 17:28 |

| rob_p | MSHughes: I guess I can't complain too much... getting paid to provide a little Ubuntu support, hehe! | 17:29 |
| MSHughes | rob_p, I want your job! | 17:30 |
| MasterRoot | I have : "start on filesystem | 17:30 |
| MasterRoot | stop on runlevel [06]" in the file you mentioed | 17:30 |
| MasterRoot | *mentioned | 17:30 |
| rob_p | MasterRoot: That's fine. 6 is shutdown. Does yours have: start on filesystem | 17:31 |
| MasterRoot | member:rob_p: how do I reply to your messages, like you are to mine? | 17:31 |
| MasterRoot | yeah, its start on filesystem | 17:31 |
| rob_p | MasterRoot: What do you mean? | 17:31 |
| thune3 | frxstrem: except for the "mostly ignored" part, it sounds like you are describing a crash. (as opposed to periods of unresponsiveness). Do you have any custom kernel drivers you installed? | 17:31 |
| arccsc | how can I join the #c room? | 17:31 |
| iceroot | arccsc: /join ##c | 17:32 |

| izyum | bankix: What exactly I need to do with them? | 17:32 |
| izyum | Make small or...? | 17:32 |
| bankix | izyum: Well, resize it, if you like. | 17:32 |
| rob_p | MasterRoot: Just type part of my nic, hit tab completion and start typing your mesage. That's it! | 17:32 |
| izyum | I need to do backup %) | 17:32 |
| bankix | izyum: Hopefully this will help. Plymouth works different than usplash, hopefully there is no auto-scaling... | 17:33 |
| MasterRoot | your messages seem to be "directed" at me, with a prefix of my nick | 17:33 |
| MasterRoot | rob_p: like this? | 17:33 |
| rob_p | MasterRoot: Yup! :-) | 17:33 |
| MasterRoot | great, thanks :-) | 17:33 |
| shomon | I'm trying to burn an svcd on ubuntu lucid... has anyone tried that here? | 17:33 |
| frxstrem | thune3: no (I have experienced these problems since I started using Ubuntu 9.10, and I also have had the freezes on an almost clean installation of Ubuntu) | 17:34 |
| rob_p | MasterRoot: Your IRC client is configured to automatically highlight your nick. Most of them are by default. Makes it easy to see messages directed at you. | 17:34 |
| shomon | I'm using devede, but I'm not sure what to do with the bin/cue files | 17:34 |
| rob_p | MasterRoot: Anyway, does your rsyslog.conf file have, "start on filesystem" in it? | 17:34 |
| MasterRoot | ok, i see, but it's kind of standard to prefix with "nick: " on IRC? | 17:35 |
| frxstrem | thune3: and also, what I really meant by "mostly ignored" was that while it freezes, it doesn't seem to react to mouse movement or keyboard presses, but when it unfreezes, some of the keys pressed (often the last keys) will appear, and the mouse would move a bit if I moved the mouse while it froze | 17:35 |
| MasterRoot | rob_p: yeah, it has | 17:35 |
| bihari | Hellow any one is using gyachi? | 17:36 |
| thune3 | frxstrem: so you are talking about temporary periods of unresponsiveness. I assume in the < 10 seconds region. | 17:36 |
| rob_p | MasterRoot: Here's what mine has: http://paste.ubuntu.com/460283/ | 17:36 |
| vlt | !anyone | bihari | 17:37 |
| ubottu | bihari: 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? | 17:37 |
| rob_p | MasterRoot: Anyway, I'm guessing the process died and for whatever reason, it didn't respawn. | 17:37 |
| frxstrem | thune3: it varies a lot. I often have small freezes under 1 seconds, sometimes freezes between 20-60 seconds and not rarely lasting a couple of minutes (I have experiences freezes up to 5-6 minutes) | 17:37 |
| bihari | well i have asked so many times | 17:37 |
| bihari | but i dont get any response | 17:37 |
| bihari | i said any one is using gyachi or not> | 17:38 |
| MasterRoot | rob_p: my .conf file is the same as yours, and the same as my desktop system too | 17:38 |
| Dr_Willis | bihari: 'anyone using.. ' is not a good question.. | 17:38 |
| vlt | !patience | bihari | 17:38 |
| Dr_Willis | bihari: so the answer is.. no.. (for me) happy? | 17:38 |
| ubottu | bihari: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 17:38 |
| rob_p | MasterRoot: If yours matches mine, perhaps there's an issue elsewhere that affects rsyslog's ability to run... | 17:38 |
| shomon | how do I get devede to output an iso file? | 17:38 |
| Milk_ | an anyone help me with connecting wifi on ubuntu . i have been trying to do it manually via terminal with no luck | 17:38 |
| ryanakca | How can I intentionally break a package? Package A depends on package B, but I don't want B on my system (it's a *huge* package that contains nothing but documentation... it should really be a Recommends imho) | 17:38 |
| bihari | OKi thanks if no one is using it then use it | 17:39 |
| Dr_Willis | shomon: it saves a dvd.iso to the movie (or whatever) directory for me. just find | 17:39 |
| rob_p | MasterRoot: I'll be back in a few minutes. Duty calls... | 17:39 |
| MasterRoot | rob_p: this server has been restarted since i first noticed this issue too | 17:39 |
| MasterRoot | rob_p: no problem! | 17:39 |
| shomon | ok | 17:39 |
| frxstrem | thune3: or the small (<1 second) freezes does not happen as often as the longer ones, but they happen a lot when they first happen (but that may be performance problems too) | 17:39 |
| barfster | Can I use unetbootin w/Ubuntu MiniCD as a base for my own minimum installs? | 17:40 |
| === Whtiger is now known as Tricia | ||
| thune3 | frxstrem: could be a bunch of things, but my guess is that this is related to I/O to your storage device. Either you are hammering swap, have an extremely slow drive (usb/flashcard), or you have a drive with an issue (errors).) | 17:40 |
| Dr_Willis | barfster: some of the ubuntu cd's do not properly work with the usb-disk creator tool, Im not sure if they have better luck with unetbootin or not. Try it and see is the best bet. | 17:40 |

| Martin|2 | ubutom, Yeah XD I haven't got around to it. I spend too much time on retype.us and IRC in general XD | 17:42 |
| frxstrem | thune3: I do not believe it's problems with my hard drive, as I use a normal IDE drive, and I had absolutely no problems when I used Windows (right before switching to Ubuntu, when the problems started occouring), and my swap memory is usually under 10% used (I have 1.6 GiB); ubutom: that could also be the problem, but as I said, I didn't have these problems when I used Windows, so I doubt it | 17:43 |
| ubutom | Martin|2, had one bad module in an old laptop, removed it and everything was fine | 17:44 |

| ubutom | frxstrem, those hardware failures can happen slowly and sometimes it doesn't show up with windows, because the users are usually not looking through windows' logfiles, it also keeps track of i/o errors and such, but more hidden than linux does | 17:45 |

| ve2dmn | Milk_: Wifi? What hardware? | 17:47 |
| rob_p | MasterRoot: Odd. Maybe you un-installed it. What happens if you try to re-install it? (sudo apt-get install rsyslog) | 17:48 |
| Milk_ | how do i see that ? | 17:48 |
| Alinon | Dr_Willis: yeh there's hoping so, my understanding is that atm the linux version doesn't have a different GUI anyhow | 17:48 |
| Milk_ | how can i see that | 17:48 |
| thune3 | frxstrem: is this something that is totally random, or you can do xyz and every time it starts to happen? | 17:48 |
| rob_p | MasterRoot: Or it could be that you installed the old syslogd at one point and it conflicted with the newer rsyslog (just a guess). | 17:49 |
| Alinon | not yet anyhow | 17:49 |
| MasterRoot | rob_p: exactly my thoughts :-) | 17:49 |
| ve2dmn | Milk_: I mean, what computer are you using? What type of wifi card? | 17:49 |
| MasterRoot | that seems to have done the trick | 17:49 |
| Milk_ | ve2dmn, it is a planet wl-8316 card with marvell technology group 88w8335 libertas chipset | 17:49 |
| rob_p | MasterRoot: Did you run, "sudo apt-get install rsyslog" yet? | 17:49 |
| rob_p | MasterRoot: Ah, ok. So it was un-installed, I take it? | 17:49 |
| MasterRoot | tail -f on my auth.log shows some entires for a session I have just started :-) | 17:50 |
| MasterRoot | rob_p: yeah, seems to have been | 17:50 |
| rob_p | MasterRoot: Sweet! | 17:50 |
| MasterRoot | rob_p: don't know why though.... | 17:50 |
| frxstrem | thune3: to me, it seems to happen randomly (I have tried to close programs that I often have open whenever it happens, like Pidgin (which is the only one that I have during nearly every freeze), but it also happens when I have closed these programs | 17:50 |
| rob_p | MasterRoot: Looks like you figured it out. Congrats! | 17:50 |
| ve2dmn | Milk_: and what have you tried to make it work? Any error message? | 17:51 |
| MasterRoot | rob_p: | 17:51 |
| MasterRoot | thanks very much for your help on that | 17:51 |

| ve2dmn | Milk_; Have it's not connecting to any wifi access point? | 17:57 |
| rob_p | MasterRoot: I simply ignore the attempts. They are wasting their time. But actually, since I use key-based auth, and they are listening on non-standard ports, they don't really even get bothered very often. | 17:57 |
| mcl0vin | or even when i just open the terminal server client on ubuntu desktop , i can't see the button on the application it self, it is kinda going under the screen | 17:57 |

| abhi_nav | bihari, can you read me? | 17:58 |
| ve2dmn | JuJuBee: someone came in earlier with a similar problem... | 17:58 |
| MasterRoot | rob_p: guess my domain name has surfaced somewhere... | 17:59 |
| rob_p | MasterRoot: The biggest factor is making sure the passwords are secure. If you are sure you will always be accessing from a machine who's public key you have loaded on the server, then disable pasword auth alltogether for even greater security. | 17:59 |
| ve2dmn | Milk_: Ok. And if you try to connect? what happens? | 17:59 |
| Milk_ | ve2dmn, with sudo iwconfig <ath0> essid <essid> ap <xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:> key <XXX> mode <> commit | 18:00 |
| Milk_ | t | 18:00 |
| Milk_ | ? | 18:00 |
| MasterRoot | rob_p: yeah, I think I'll end up using key auth, for added piece of mind :-) | 18:00 |
| ve2dmn | Milk_: either that or the GUI | 18:00 |

| shomon | how do I copy this iso to a cd? | 18:02 |
| frxstrem | is there a program to search for disk errors on a hard drive? | 18:02 |

| ActionParsnip | frxstrem: fsck | 18:03 |
| ActionParsnip | frxstrem: do it in a live cd environment | 18:03 |
| rob_p | MasterRoot: As long as you will always be accessing from a machine who's key is on the server, then yes. That's the way to go. Plus, you can generate passwordless keys so that you no longer have to enter your password. It will rely on the key alone, which is very convenient! | 18:03 |

| ubottu | Jinxed-: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 18:53 |
| razz1 | I am tryin to set up VNC using vinagre and vino over the internet using openssh. couple of doubts: 1 both systems use usb modems and what ip address should I use for the remote system. I tried ifconfig and whatismyip.com. they are different!! 2 how do I copy the public key to the system running ssh server | 18:53 |
| ActionParsnip | razz1: the ip of the modem. you can setup a noip account and install noip2 to make your ip update to a name. makes life easier as well as accommodating IP changes | 18:54 |
| ActionParsnip | razz1: the ip you get with whatismyip / ipchicken is the WAN IP you need to use | 18:55 |

| Draglor | I formatted t about 20 times now jag0 | 19:43 |
| JViz | the app works fine, but synaptic thinks it's a broken package | 19:43 |
| Draglor | no change | 19:43 |

| ThiagoMedeiros | i need a help to install the microsoft wireless mouse presenter 8000 in ubuntu 10.04 | 19:43 |
| IdleOne | Draglor: for 10.10 support the channel is #ubuntu+1 | 19:43 |
| Draglor | i have been there IdleOne | 19:43 |
| moody | prawn, wait, sorry, Lubuntu didn't lock up. I got to the demo desktop, but the colors were all off whack and it was running so slow that I couldn't even get the install to run. not sure how much memory is on the machine, its my brothers... its a dell inspiron 1000 with celeron proc | 19:43 |
| Draglor | just reverted to 10.04 as no one helped there | 19:44 |
| IdleOne | Draglor: I know but 10 | 19:44 |
| Draglor | no change | 19:44 |
| IdleOne | Draglor: I know but 10.10 is offtopic for this channe; | 19:44 |
| Draglor | i am on 10.04 now | 19:44 |
| IdleOne | I see | 19:44 |
| Draglor | same issue | 19:44 |
| jag0 | Draglor, i'm clutching at straws but perhaps a quick memory test and that fsck badblock check worth a go if no other ideas. | 19:44 |
| moody | prawn, pretty sure its new enough to run ubuntu, as the inspiron 1000 is on the linux laptop compatibility list | 19:44 |
| jag0 | Draglor, possibly try older kernel too | 19:44 |
| Draglor | I formatted the disk several times (I just used my two disks) | 19:45 |
| moody | prawn, hopefully the alternate cd will work out. i've had similar problems installing before, and had success using the alternate cd | 19:45 |
| Draglor | so just don't use an actual ubuntu? | 19:45 |
| Draglor | jag0? | 19:45 |
| AgentOrange | easy quick question... im running 8.04LTS; should I upgrade to something newer? 2003 Intel box. | 19:45 |
| jag0 | Draglor, only that vfat disk yeah, not other partition on same disk? | 19:45 |
| === hamza_ is now known as Hz26542 | ||
| Draglor | It works on actual kernels | 19:45 |
| Draglor | but only if I mount it on console | 19:46 |
| Draglor | no, it's a thumbdrive (it's working .. I can copy smaller files, but no files about 150MB) | 19:46 |
| machete | hey guys, got kind of weird problem, I cannot browse the net for over a couple of minuts | 19:47 |
| Draglor | if i mount it as root on console it works (on gnome the same) but mounted on kde it fails | 19:47 |
| jag0 | #Draglor, I mean, only effects that partition right? or does it effect other partitions in vfat format, what about ext3 format partitions and usb disks for example, i'm just throwing ideas in the air to help diagnose it cos I haven't heard of this problem | 19:47 |
| machete | then it's like I don't have a connection anymore | 19:47 |
| Kaspi | trism: thanks | 19:47 |
| machete | i close and open firefox and it works for a few moments again | 19:47 |
| machete | has anyone had a similar problem with me? | 19:47 |
| machete | than me | 19:47 |
| machete | lol | 19:47 |
| Draglor | it affects any partition on vfat drives (on my box and 3 other boxes) my hd is ext3 and I can copy the file | 19:48 |
| racethesunlive | machete: i've had this issue with my wireless device, I didn't look into a solution though | 19:48 |
| Draglor | I can even copy the file by using "sudo mount /dev/drivename /mnt" .. but not if mounted by kde | 19:48 |
| MN | ~batman | 19:49 |
| jag0 | Draglor, I know root has reserved filesystem space but I don't think possible on vfat as that reserve is an ext2/3/4 thing | 19:49 |
| Draglor | but it affects any partition | 19:49 |
| machete | racethesunlive so basically... I am screwed | 19:49 |
| jag0 | Draglor, experiment with formatting to fat and then writing that file to it using windows if you can | 19:49 |
| Draglor | jag0 it's an empty partition | 19:49 |
| Draglor | I formatted it about 20 times | 19:49 |
| prawn | moody: that laptop has one memory slot with a max of 256MB RAM. It may or may not have that much. It will be slow. | 19:50 |
| jag0 | Draglor, try same thing but using fat rather than vfat(fat32), if it's ok at least we know it's a fat32 problem | 19:50 |
| Draglor | it worked anytime if I mount it "by hand" but after unmounting it doesn't work if mounted by kde | 19:50 |
| Draglor | it needs vfat/fat | 19:50 |
| booh- | Hi, I'm using apache 2, my certificate for ssl expired 4 days ago. I have to submit csr to netsol. I have the old .csr file used to do this 3 years ago. Can I submit the same CSR file again today and after that replace server.crt file, restart apache and that's it ? | 19:50 |
| jag0 | Draglor, try changing to fat instead of vfat | 19:51 |
| Draglor | I use this inside my phone, which can only handle fat | 19:51 |
| Draglor | I tried | 19:51 |
| Draglor | no change | 19:51 |
| Draglor | It worked in kde 4.4 | 19:51 |
| jag0 | Booh, suggest #apache and also webmaster type channels possibly on another server/forum | 19:51 |
| Draglor | but it doesn't work in kde 4.5 rc1 nor in maverick | 19:52 |
| moody | prawn, it ran xp before.... shouldn't have too much trouble running xubuntu, should it? he just wants the laptop for web browsing, not gaming or anything... | 19:52 |
| AgentOrange | Upgrade Ubuntu or not, that is the question. Now 8.04 LTS. On 2003 Intel Walmart special... upgrade version? | 19:52 |
| prawn | moody: Xubuntu will be very slow on that PC. I suggest Lubuntu. Just let the install sit until it's ready to move forward. Alternately, if the Xubuntu alternate CD works - you can convert it to Lubuntu | 19:52 |
| Draglor | I asked in #kde but no help there as well (even no one having this issue, so I think it is an kubuntu issue) | 19:52 |
| cl909 | I want to install virtualbox additions, but it says i need root? How can i get root temporarily? | 19:52 |
| moody | prawn, how do you convert to lubuntu? would it be apt-get install lubuntu-desktop? | 19:52 |
| rocket16 | Flash isn't working in Midori, even after trying their code, :( any help? | 19:53 |
| jag0 | Draglor, what words did you use to search for on the kde bug tracker? phones handle both fat and vfat usually, the nokia I got connected right does anyway and I can't remember it being fat only, tho correct me if I'm wrong | 19:53 |
| jag0 | cl909, sudo <command> | 19:54 |
| racethesunlive | Draglor: have you tried using a different file manager? | 19:54 |
| cl909 | yeah but I don't wanna use the commandline | 19:54 |

| Madwill | hi i'm looking for a screen recorder with sound that i can start and stop trough command line, do you know of any ?? | 19:56 |
| jag0 | cl909, I haven't got it in front of me to try but perhaps there's something that can be done with permissions... .google virtualbox / root permissions something like that | 19:56 |
| cl909 | Isn't there something like Run as... root ? | 19:56 |
| Draglor | cl909: to get root remporaily just type "sudo $command" (and enter your pw) | 19:57 |
| Draglor | it is cl909 | 19:57 |
| Draglor | sudo | 19:57 |
| cl909 | yeah but thats the commandline | 19:57 |
| well_laid_lawn | Madwill: ffmpeg has an x11-grab option | 19:57 |
| jag0 | foo, I think you're shafted... search linux sleuthkit though, you might be able to get some of the file either side of the problem. it's stuff like `dd if= of and so on. there's also a thing out there specifically for scratched CDs, can't remeber name | 19:57 |

| cl909 | Imagine me having to explain this crap to my mother | 20:02 |
| Draglor | I did it to my mother | 20:02 |

| s3r3n1t7 | cl909, what file is this? Is this an installation file for software? | 20:07 |
| MasterRoot | cl909: sudo ./script.name.sh ? | 20:07 |
| jag0 | cl909, I understand your point but I think if you want the power of unix with the clear leadership behind it you get what you pay for; i.e. OS-X | 20:07 |
| * nmvictor is busy developing and mp3 tag editor, possibly you'l use this some day! :) | 20:07 | |
| cl909 | yes, virtualbox additions | 20:07 |
| s3r3n1t7 | cl909, so your host is not Ubuntu but it is the guest inside virtualbox then? | 20:07 |
| cl909 | I don't want "the power of unix", I want a FREE OS, that anybody can use | 20:07 |
| MasterRoot | cl909: have you tried running your scripts using sudo? | 20:08 |
| cl909 | uuhh. I'm running ubutnu in a VM, if that answers your question | 20:08 |
| jag0 | cl909, I mean, Solaris isn't in infancy but commandline comes into it all the time. still comes in with Windows and OS-X, it's just that usually we're used to using ripped of warez to help us do things. | 20:08 |
| cl909 | "people" don't use solaris | 20:08 |
| Madwill | damn i would need to mix pulsaudio capture in order to get sound | 20:08 |
| cl909 | If Ubuntu is supposed to be for people, it can't rely on the commandline for anything | 20:09 |
| MasterRoot | can anyone help me with telnet please? just a quick question :-) | 20:09 |
| BinaryMan | MasterRoot: shoot | 20:09 |
| s3r3n1t7 | cl909, if it is a deb you can double click on it. However, there is a brainstorm idea for what you have requested. You can install nautilus-gksu which will add the feature you want, rightclick - run with sudo | 20:09 |
| MasterRoot | BinaryMan: Thanks :-) | 20:09 |
| cl909 | cool | 20:09 |
| cl909 | yeah that's what I want | 20:10 |
| cl909 | thanks | 20:10 |

| MasterRoot | xihh: Hi :-) | 20:10 |
| BinaryMan | MasterRoot: yes and no. | 20:10 |
| s3r3n1t7 | cl909, also please do not misunderstand. Because ubuntu is not what you like does not mean it's unusuable. Just look at this channel, there's over 1500 people in here. If i look around me a lot of people use it. Just because you don't like something does not mean it becomes unusuable. | 20:11 |
| BinaryMan | MasterRoot: with telnet servers, you don't have access to traffic filtering. i don't think ssh does traffic filtering either. | 20:11 |
| BinaryMan | however. | 20:11 |
| MasterRoot | BinaryMan: I understand | 20:11 |
| BinaryMan | you can set an ACL on the router. | 20:11 |
| cl909 | I didn't say it's unusable, I just made clear that I'm not gonna recommend any OS to "people" that needs a commandline for certain tasks | 20:12 |
| xihh | I installed ubuntu 10.04 in an Acer Aspire One, and it doesn't even star up, i've tried to reinstall grub without success... | 20:12 |
| MasterRoot | BinaryMan: yeah, I have that atm, but wasn't comfortable on relying on it :-) | 20:12 |
| s3r3n1t7 | MasterRoot, BinaryMan, or use iptables to filter traffic coming on that port with a subnet. | 20:12 |
| BinaryMan | on the machine running telnet, yes. | 20:12 |
| s3r3n1t7 | cl909, there's up and downsides with everything. Let's not discuss our opinions. Can I help you with something else? | 20:13 |
| racethesunlive | BinaryMan: could he use iptables to filter the traffic? | 20:13 |
| MasterRoot | s3r3n1t7: BinaryMan: that's a thought :-) | 20:13 |
| racethesunlive | sorry i was slow to respond | 20:13 |
| MasterRoot | racethesunlive: hehe | 20:13 |
| BinaryMan | racethesunlive: happens, but it's a good thought. | 20:13 |
| BinaryMan | not to be rude or moderate, but this isn't exactly #networking101 | 20:13 |
| BinaryMan | not that I mind discussing networking questions. | 20:14 |
| BinaryMan | i figure some people might get angsty about off topic things. | 20:14 |
| s3r3n1t7 | BinaryMan, if the pc/server in question is running linux then I would consider it to be relevant to this channel. | 20:14 |
| MasterRoot | BinaryMan: I understand, I was just asking whether such a feature exists :-) | 20:14 |
| s3r3n1t7 | s/linux/ubuntu/ | 20:14 |
| MasterRoot | BinaryMan: yeah, it's Ubuntu 9.10 | 20:15 |
| BinaryMan | not all distro channels are as forgiving. | 20:15 |
| BinaryMan | i remember years ago getting booted from #fedora for praising gentoo | 20:15 |
| MasterRoot | BinaryMan: now I need to try and understand iptables :-) | 20:16 |
| BinaryMan | MasterRoot: it's not too hard. | 20:16 |
| s3r3n1t7 | BinaryMan, obviously. But now you are talking offtopic. | 20:16 |
| MasterRoot | BinaryMan: hehe, it's quite good though, even for a noob like me | 20:16 |
| cl909 | s3r3n1t7: Whenever I open the Applications Menu (or other menus) all the icons show up with delay | 20:16 |
| BinaryMan | s3r3n1t7: oh, but it's still linux. :P | 20:16 |
| MasterRoot | s3r3n1t7: sorry | 20:17 |
| MasterRoot | BinaryMan: thanks for your time though | 20:17 |
| s3r3n1t7 | BinaryMan, I corrected myself after that. | 20:17 |
| BinaryMan | MasterRoot: iptables works similiarly to ACLs. the intimidating part is knowing/learning the commands. | 20:17 |
| bastidrazor | cl909: that normally happens on the first open. since the icons are not loaded until needed then they are cached. | 20:17 |
| s3r3n1t7 | cl909, I'm sorry but graphical problems aren't exactly my forte. With some patience, there's bound to be someone here who can help you with that. | 20:17 |
| MasterRoot | BinaryMan: ok, I guess using webmin to configure might help me get my head round it a little? | 20:18 |
| s3r3n1t7 | !webmin | 20:18 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 20:18 |
| s3r3n1t7 | MasterRoot, let's not ;-) | 20:18 |
| ddrj | hey guys what's a recommended wysiwyg HTML editor like dreamweaver for windows (of course there will prolly be less features but that's fine) | 20:18 |
| BinaryMan | i didn't even know it wasn't supported anymore. | 20:18 |
| cl909 | s3r3n1t7: hmm, alright. I don't think that should be the default :P thanks, though | 20:18 |
| BinaryMan | !ebox | 20:19 |
| ubottu | ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox | 20:19 |
| MasterRoot | oh right, sorry | 20:19 |
| cl909 | s3r3n1t7: oh yeah, how do i get the window controls (close, minimize etc. to the RIGHT)? | 20:19 |
| razz1 | which ones better: freenx or using ssh with compression and sticking to vinagre for remote desktop access | 20:19 |
| bastidrazor | !contorls | cl909 | 20:19 |
| s3r3n1t7 | !controls | cl909 | 20:19 |
| ubottu | cl909: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side.

| xihh | cl909: there is an option on metacity conf that allow you to change the place of buttons on the windows | 20:21 |
| BinaryMan | s3r3n1t7: Windows practically forces you to change. Least you still have the option of using webmin, albeit it's unsupported. | 20:21 |
| cl909 | lol, so I need another windows manager now? | 20:22 |
| cl909 | well thanks for the tip | 20:22 |

| razz1 | I was hoping you would say that, I guess you are right. | 20:23 |
| ActionParsnip | cl909: its not hard to move, there are LITERALLY thousands of guides for this, did you not websearch any at all?? | 20:23 |
| cl909 | pozic: just put a checkbox somewher! *lol*, If the setting exists, why hide it? | 20:23 |
| ddrj | what's a wysiwyg editor for ubuntu like dreamweaver that i can use? i just need to edit html and css files | 20:23 |
| pozic | cl909: so, just change theme and there is no problem. | 20:23 |
| Roasted | BinaryMan, well, we have VNC set up, but when the VM of Ubuntu reboots, it doesnt allow VNC to run until we log in... causing a curve ball. | 20:23 |
| ActionParsnip | ddrj: bluefish | 20:23 |
| Roasted | BinaryMan, I'd like to use VNC though. | 20:23 |
| Pici | ddrj: kompozer is a popular one. | 20:23 |
| BinaryMan | Roasted: I ran in to that exact problem. | 20:24 |
| === SlidingHorn_out is now known as slidinghorn | ||
| pozic | cl909: I didn't change anything in gconf. | 20:24 |
| ActionParsnip | cl909: its not a checkbox, its a text field | 20:24 |
| zakscott | im having trouble getting nvidia drivers to work. nvidia ion chip in maverick meerkat 2.6.35-6-generic | 20:24 |
| pozic | cl909: everything could be done via the GUI. | 20:24 |
| BinaryMan | Roasted: change the init level on the daemon. | 20:24 |
| Pici | ActionParsnip: Please don't. You should know better. | 20:24 |
| ddrj | thanks ActionParsnip and Pici i'll check both | 20:24 |
| ActionParsnip | !maverick | zakscott | 20:24 |
| ubottu | zakscott: Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 2010 - Maverick is Not released and Not Stable, discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 20:24 |
| Roasted | BinaryMan, how would I do that? | 20:24 |
| cl909 | ActionParsnip: I said MAKE it a checkbox | 20:24 |
| pozic | cl909: I could solve it without a Google query. | 20:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Pici: all yours dude | 20:24 |
| ActionParsnip | cl909: submit a suggestion on http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com | 20:24 |
| BinaryMan | Roasted: let me see if I can find the website that detailed it. | 20:24 |
| Roasted | thanks BinaryMan | 20:25 |
| ddrj | ActionParsnip, does bluefish have wysiwyg editing like Pici's kompozer? | 20:25 |
| ActionParsnip | ddrj: look and see | 20:25 |
| Pici | cl909: You could also change the theme, that should switch the controls to the other side. Alternatively, see the url ubottu gave you. | 20:25 |
| BinaryMan | Roasted: http://www.abdevelopment.ca/blog/start-vnc-server-ubuntu-boot | 20:25 |

| afink | hopefully I can get it working from here | 20:26 |
| ddrj | thanks ActionParsnip | 20:26 |
| razz1 | why so much grief over close and minimize buttons, just select a different theme and they will be back to the right side, I think blue wave for one does that. | 20:26 |
| cl909 | razz1: I didn't expect that to happen, so I did not try it | 20:26 |
| ActionParsnip | razz1: no idea, i think its pretty pathetic, everything can be changed yet people have posts and rants about ow its sooo offensive. Makes me laugh | 20:26 |
| cl909 | anyway, the gconf thing worked fine | 20:27 |
| MasterRoot | BinaryMan: this iptable rule - am I best to drop/reject ? | 20:27 |
| s3r3n1t7 | cl909, perhaps a quick google will help you in the future and avoid the annoyances. | 20:27 |
| incorrect | alt+tab seems to have stopped working for me after i upgraded to lucid | 20:27 |
| cl909 | ActionParsnip: Yeah, it can be changed, but It should be a simple setting in "appearance". Is that so far-fetched? | 20:27 |
| thansen | can someone tell me how to get empathy to actually connect to a sip account? | 20:27 |
| cl909 | s3r3n1t7: right, I was just taking your offer of more help ;) | 20:28 |
| ActionParsnip | cl909: there are guides everywhere so its easy to find a fix. i ditched gnome a long time ago so havent seen this nonesense | 20:28 |
| ddrj | Pici, i can't use kompozer since it's GTK apparently :( i am using lubuntu atm which uses LXDE apparently | 20:28 |
| bastidrazor | ActionParsnip: you're a kde man? | 20:28 |
| Pici | ddrj: so? You can run gtk applications under ldxe? | 20:28 |
| ActionParsnip | bastidrazor: lxde | 20:28 |
| ddrj | ahhhh | 20:28 |
| s3r3n1t7 | cl909, i understand. However, asking a question that could have been answered is bound to raise more questions why you didn't look for it. | 20:28 |
| cl909 | ActionParsnip: If there was a setting for it in "Appearance" there would be no need for guides at all. | 20:29 |
| Pici | ActionParsnip: Please remember that this is a support channel. | 20:29 |
| Roasted | BinaryMan, can you link me again, my entire ubuntu laptop froze (lol?) and I couldnt do anything but reboot. | 20:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Pici: its just astounding the sheer volume of docs and how tos on tis yet users still ask, some guy even made an app to switch it left and right in python | 20:29 |
| ActionParsnip | cl909: you can do it at command line with: gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string menu:minimize,maximize,close | 20:30 |
| cl909 | ActionParsnip: all that time wasted, just because there is no setting for it | 20:30 |
| foo | I'm looking to clear out my drive completely. If I want to do that, it's something like: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda - right? | 20:30 |
| Pici | ActionParsnip: Not everyone searches before coming here, and we shouldn't assume they will or that they did. | 20:30 |
| ActionParsnip | cl909: or if you want gui: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/03/easy-gui-window-button-switcher-for.html | 20:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Pici: they should, its lazy | 20:30 |
| BinaryMan | Roasted: http://www.abdevelopment.ca/blog/start-vnc-server-ubuntu-boot | 20:31 |
| BinaryMan | Roasted: got a phone call and had to step afk | 20:31 |
| tomasz | hello | 20:31 |
| cl909 | ActionParsnip: thank you, I already did it the way you linked first. Now all you need to do is accept that i'm right and we're finished :D | 20:31 |
| Pici | cl909: You're right, it would be ideal if it was a setting, but there isn't. You are talking to the support people here, not the developers, so don't expect us to change it because you're complaining. | 20:31 |
| tomasz | run sombody morrowind on wine ? | 20:31 |
| ActionParsnip | cl909: i'm just showing you how many guides there are for this | 20:31 |
| razz1 | while we are on about pet peeves, could some one help me. How to stop empathy from scrolling to the end when ever there is a new post. i know it's a but, any workaround | 20:31 |
| MasterRoot | Thanks guys | 20:31 |
| MasterRoot | Goodbye | 20:31 |
| cl909 | right, now I agree with me, and you shall be dismissed :D | 20:32 |
| ActionParsnip | tomasz: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1015 | 20:32 |
| BinaryMan | Roasted: you may have to change some of the init settings to fit your needs. | 20:32 |
| bazhang | tomasz, check the appdb and join #winehq | 20:32 |
| ActionParsnip | cl909: never mind | 20:32 |
| s3r3n1t7 | cl909, that attitude will not get you any results. | 20:32 |
| cl909 | apparently the Ubuntu evangelists have already decided for everybody that ther eneed not be a setting, and the the left is the right position | 20:32 |
| bazhang | cl909, lets get back on topic please | 20:33 |
| ActionParsnip | cl909: there is no correct position | 20:33 |
| tomasz | i installed but have some problem | 20:33 |
| === wertik_ is now known as wertik_rus | ||
| bazhang | tomasz, /join #winehq | 20:33 |

| tomasz | new game is run but dont work read save game and exit from game | 20:33 |
| tomasz | oki | 20:33 |
| s3r3n1t7 | cl909, do you understand the difference between a developer and a supporter? We are not the developers. We help others with problems. We do not make the calls. | 20:33 |
| ActionParsnip | tomasz: you could try the wine ppa, see if it helps | 20:33 |
| s3r3n1t7 | cl909, as pici ( i think ) said, open up an idea on brainstorm. | 20:33 |
| tomasz | i have wine ppa | 20:34 |
| ActionParsnip | s3r3n1t7: t'was I | 20:34 |
| tomasz | i nstal 1.2r6 wine | 20:34 |
| tomasz | it run graet with gta sa | 20:34 |
| cl909 | no worries, thanks for everything | 20:34 |
| tomasz | but morrowind have problem | 20:34 |
| ActionParsnip | tomasz: maybe it runs better i the version in the ubuntu ppa, maybe it needs different settings ini winecfg or some native ddls | 20:34 |
| ActionParsnip | tomasz: is the ame fully updated | 20:35 |
| tomasz | oki | 20:35 |
| tomasz | i ask on winehq but no body write | 20:35 |
| ActionParsnip | tomasz: the appdb link i gave should help a lot | 20:36 |
| oCean_ | tomasz: that is no reason to ask here | 20:36 |
| oCean_ | tomasz: since this channel has another topic | 20:36 |

| webPragmatist | I've chrooted a ssh user to /home/user but I'd like to give them access to another directory (/srv/www)… I tried creating a symbolic link but the link doesn't show the contents | 20:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Madwill: can you expand please. | 20:40 |
| moody | prawn, something's wrong with the installer display (like when you select language and keyboard)... its like its too big for my monitor | 20:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Madwill: "get sounds" doesnt mean much | 20:40 |
| prawn | moody: can you work through it? | 20:41 |
| moody | prawn, so far i can... | 20:41 |
| Madwill | i'm sorry, when playing video or anything that should produce sounds, i can't hear anything | 20:41 |
| bihari | gyachi any one know how to install | 20:42 |
| racethesunlive | madwill: in console type alsamixer and make sure your volume levels are correct | 20:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Madwill: do you get sounds when you log in? | 20:42 |
| machete | is there a specific channel for ubuntu on notebooks? | 20:43 |
| jiffe | why does do-release-upgrade seem to get stuck a lot? I've had it stick while trying to restart mysql, right now it is stuck at ' * Stopping all DRBD resources' | 20:44 |
| ActionParsnip | bihari: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:loell/ppa && sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install gyachi | 20:44 |
| jiffe | if I ctrl-C it thinks it completed the upgrade | 20:44 |
| bihari | yes i did actionparsnip | 20:44 |
| bihari | but i have problem with voice chat | 20:44 |
| jiffe | luckily this is a virtual machine and I can just revert the disk, which is what I'm going to have to do | 20:45 |
| AhmedBH | hi, i just wanna add VLC to the respo, i used this but didnt worked "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:c-korn/vlc" | 20:45 |
| Madwill | no i do not get any sound | 20:45 |
| ActionParsnip | bihari: i dont use it dude, i just know that ppa for it | 20:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Madwill: ok then run: sudo lshw -C sound websearch for the product line | 20:45 |
| bastidrazor | ActionParsnip: wouldn't you need && after the update as well? or does ; also make the next command wait till previous one has finished? | 20:45 |

| fyretux | does anyone here know about the DS emulator for the PC called Desmume? | 20:45 |
| karanikola | i want a switcher ( pager) for ubuntu 10.04 (gnome). but default panels and screenlet's pagers are not good. i want something better which shows the small windows by smalling all the screen (i mean with colors not just black and white.) can you suggest me a program for this please ? | 20:45 |
| bihari | but i am looking for someone who is using this gyachi | 20:46 |
| ActionParsnip | bastidrazor: no, i use && first as sometimes the keys dont get imported so I want it to stop after that, the rest can just run as they like | 20:46 |
| ActionParsnip | bastidrazor: && means "only run the next command if the previous one passed" ; means "run this next" and doesn't care about the previous command | 20:46 |
| jiffe | nm, this time the whole machine locked in a kernel panic | 20:46 |
| bastidrazor | ActionParsnip: gotcha. thanks for the clarification | 20:47 |
| oCean_ | karanikola: the default workspace switcher does that .. | 20:47 |
| ActionParsnip | bastidrazor: here to help, and learn :) | 20:47 |
| ActionParsnip | bihari: maybe #gyachi | 20:47 |
| karanikola | oCean_: no. it is just baclk and white. it is not good :( | 20:47 |
| Madwill | i have pulseaudio i think | 20:47 |
| oCean_ | karanikola: for me it shows scaled down window for xchat, firefox etc. Using colors too | 20:48 |
| aetaric | anyone have a clue as to why gnome starts and then falls back to gdm? | 20:48 |
| bihari | no one is there | 20:48 |
| Dulak | because you've been a very bad monkey | 20:48 |
| karanikola | oCean_: yes i see it too. but it is just for full screen windows... :( i want that for all windows. i want to use it a little big. so i have to use another pager... | 20:48 |
| bihari | no one is there in #gyachi channel | 20:49 |
| oCean_ | karanikola: full screen? I run nothing full screen | 20:49 |
| coz_ | bihari, have you tried to join that? | 20:49 |

| Turl | the new kernel I installed today renders my PC unusable :/ | 20:51 |
| aetaric | Turl, then don't use that kernel | 20:51 |

| Turl | aeon-ltd: yeah, the one I'm using now | 20:51 |
| aetaric | Turl, it did that for me too. no clue what i did to fix it | 20:52 |
| Turl | -23 is working, -24 breaks GDM or sth | 20:52 |

| fyretux | can someone answer my question? | 20:54 |
| aetaric | xxDangerCloud, it is in ccsm. cube rotate is the plugin you want. sudo apt-get install ccsm | 20:55 |
| xxDangerCloud | Ah, thank you so much. I'm new to Ubuntu, but I love it. | 20:56 |
| bastidrazor | !ccsm | aetaric xxDangerCloud | 20:56 |

| ubottu | fyretux: 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. :-) | 20:56 |
| aetaric | bastidrazor...really? why did you hilight me? | 20:57 |
| fyretux | does anyone here know about the DS emulator for the PC called Desmume? | 20:57 |
| Roasted | anybody running FreeRadius on Ubuntu? | 20:57 |
| oCean_ | !info desmume | 20:57 |
| ubottu | desmume (source: desmume): Nintendo DS emulator. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.9.5-2 (lucid), package size 1440 kB, installed size 4800 kB | 20:57 |
| bastidrazor | aetaric: ccsm is not the package to be installed. that factoid indicates two the would allow the user to make changes in compiz | 20:57 |
| brambilla | Roasted: I'm running Freeradius on Debian | 20:57 |
| oCean_ | fyretux: that ^ is (a little) info on desmume, the question is: what is your question :) - describe your issue (detailed) to the channel | 20:58 |
| Roasted | brambilla, hows it wokring for you? | 20:58 |
| aetaric | correct. he wants to enable the plugin, etc. ccsm works fine for that | 20:58 |
| Roasted | brambilla, trying to install it now on ubuntu. giving me a little bit of a headache. trying to join to domain now and its yelling at me. | 20:58 |

| ddrj | Turl, nevermind, i see it here :D | 21:02 |
| Roasted | brambilla, well be using freeradius to authenticate wireless laptops. I was just curious how many desktops/laptops/clients or whatever you had on your netowrk | 21:02 |
| brambilla | Roasted, ~3000 online connections, but it's around 6000 clients | 21:03 |
| Roasted | brambilla, ha, dang. more than us. :P | 21:04 |
| Roasted | brambilla, did you have any issues when trying to bind the debian servers to the domain? Its giving me a headache. | 21:04 |
| daichi | hey -- just as you can "chown USER filename.sh" to give USER full permissions over filename.sh | 21:04 |
| daichi | can you chown USER "command" | 21:04 |
| aetaric | bastidrazor, http://pastebin.org/385555 | 21:04 |
| Roasted | chown USER location | 21:04 |
| Turl | daichi: I guess you're looking into sudo and /etc/sudoers | 21:04 |
| Roasted | chown daichi /path/of/file | 21:04 |
| daichi | i want to take over a command | 21:05 |
| daichi | not a file | 21:05 |
| brambilla | Roasted, I'm using Freeradius to pppoe acounting and authentication without domain | 21:05 |
| guntbert | Madwill: try with sudo lshw -C multimedia | 21:05 |
| Roasted | brambilla, hmm... okay. well at least its good to hear somebody else out there speaks highly of it. | 21:05 |
| daichi | i want to use it in a bash script Turl | 21:05 |
| Roasted | brambilla, were taking a shot in the dark, besides theres a widely known bug with microsoft's radius option | 21:05 |
| Draglor | you can set it up in the sudoers file daichi | 21:06 |
| Draglor | /etc/sudoers (normally) | 21:06 |
| Roasted | brambilla, it drops their authentication after 30 days and doesnt re-register it unless you plug the laptops in via ethernet to re-authenticate there, but again, 30 days later it drops again. | 21:06 |
| daichi | but i only want to take over one command Draglor | 21:06 |
| Draglor | right | 21:06 |
| Turl | daichi: you can use sudo with NOPASSWD iirc | 21:06 |
| Roasted | brambilla, hence our interest in freeradius since users say this problem doesnt exist in freeradius :P | 21:06 |
| ActionParsnip | daichi: you can iy you user: chown user `which command` you will need to replace command with the command you want, be very careful what you change | 21:06 |
| oCean_ | daichi: it is not recommendable to change permissions on a command. Use sudoers configuration as suggested | 21:06 |
| Draglor | you can give permission to one (ore more) users to perform one (or more) commands inside this file | 21:06 |
| lazarus | hi all | 21:07 |
| daichi | ActionParsnip: that doesn't work | 21:07 |
| Draglor | if you want to give one user the right to run one (root) command sudoers is the place to look daichi | 21:07 |
| ActionParsnip | daichi: if you want to use it in a script and it requires sudo then add sudo to the start of the command in the script as normal then lauch the script with sudo | 21:07 |

| daichi | Turl: i think your option is best, to use NOPASSWD before the command in /etc/sudoers | 21:07 |
| Draglor | ActionParsnip: This would rewuire a pw .. sometimes bad at startup | 21:08 |
| daichi | thanks Draglor and everyone else | 21:08 |

| === zachary is now known as Guest51569 | ||
| Draglor | I'm pleased if I can help daichi ;) | 21:08 |
| ActionParsnip | daichi: if you add it in /etc/rc.local it will run without need for password as root | 21:09 |
| Bersam | hi all ! i have some problems with this Ubuntu-One ... i made my account but my OS still doesn't know my acc ... every thing with my acc is okey but how can i reconfig this ubuntu-one in my ubuntu ? | 21:09 |

| blackstar256 | ani: why do you like openbox better than gnome? | 21:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Bersam: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nautilus-dropbox/ppa && sudo apt-get update; nautilus-dropbox | 21:12 |
| ActionParsnip | blackstar256: i prefer it because its lighter and faster | 21:12 |
| blackstar256 | is dropbox better than openbox? | 21:12 |
| ActionParsnip | blackstar256: dropbox is a file storage solution like ubuntuone, openbox is a window manager | 21:13 |
| blackstar256 | oh okay | 21:13 |

| Silent_Dream | Hi, I was upgrading Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 and my system froze at about 85% of the upgrade process, so I had no other option to reboot, and when I did, my windows partition is gone and I cant access it, and Ubuntu 10.04 wont load | 21:25 |
| Kangarooo | whats the name of programm that looks like bug icon in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/ApplicationIndicators?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=disaster.png ? | 21:25 |
| Silent_Dream | any advice | 21:25 |
| ChogyDan | Silent_Dream: is grub working? | 21:25 |
| Silent_Dream | ChogyDan: Yes, grub loads, but my windows partition isnt shown, and the linux partition loads up 10.04 which never will get past the load screen | 21:26 |
| ChogyDan | Silent_Dream: you mean windows isn't listed in the grub menu? | 21:26 |
| Silent_Dream | ChogyDan: correct | 21:26 |
| ChogyDan | Silent_Dream: I would try some recovery stuff with a livecd, starting with recovering grub | 21:27 |
| Silent_Dream | ChogyDan: What recovery stuff, what livecd, how do i recover grub | 21:27 |
| wildbat | Silent_Dream, can you boot to recovery mode? | 21:27 |
| lazarus | hi all i wonder if anyone in herre can help im trying to develop GUI's for my bash scripts and help is nice | 21:27 |
| taylor_ | hello | 21:28 |
| Silent_Dream | wildbat: I dont know what recovery mode is | 21:28 |
| taylor_ | i have a huge issue | 21:28 |
| ChogyDan | Silent_Dream: basically, are there any selections you can make in the grub menu to boot? | 21:28 |
| Silent_Dream | ChogyDan: Yes, they are all linux partitions I think, I can check if you want (the comp in question is upstairs) | 21:28 |
| bihari | can any one tell me how to uninstall | 21:28 |
| bihari | softwer | 21:29 |
| wildbat | Silent_Dream, from grub menu | 21:29 |
| aeon-ltd | bihari: syanptics | 21:29 |
| aeon-ltd | !synaptic | bihari | 21:29 |
| ubottu | bihari: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 21:29 |
| taylor_ | @bihari thats what i want to know XD | 21:29 |
| ChogyDan | Silent_Dream: ya, you should check, otherwise you will have to go the livecd route | 21:30 |
| BinaryMan | here's a question. | 21:30 |
| taylor_ | how do you uninstall ubuntu | 21:30 |
| taylor_ | ??? | 21:30 |
| BinaryMan | For awhile, I've been running 10.04 upgraded from 9.10. It's been a little unstable, so I wiped and reinstalled. | 21:31 |
| taylor_ | and then replace with windows | 21:31 |
| BinaryMan | I also backed up my /etc, /home, and /opt directories. | 21:31 |
| ChogyDan | taylor_: do you have windows installed already? | 21:31 |
| BinaryMan | Where are all my gnome settings stored (like what widgets I had in the panels, etc)? | 21:31 |
| shiftingcontrol | my 10.04 hangs ,but it neva hung in 9.* at all,any reason ? | 21:32 |
| ChogyDan | BinaryMan: might be somewhere under ~/.config | 21:32 |
| sebsebseb | BinaryMan: hidden dot folders for Gnome in Home I guess | 21:32 |
| sebsebseb | BinaryMan: may have to set those up again | 21:32 |
| _jesse_ | not sure if I should ask here or in #debian, but where can I get the the latest kernel (2.6.34)? I thought I remembered finding them on packages.ubuntu.com, but I can't now | 21:32 |
| BinaryMan | and is there any way I can copy something over that will "reinstall" all the packages I had stored via synaptic? | 21:32 |
| taylor_ | @ChogyDan No, but I have a boot disk and when i go to install it tells me that it needs a driver to place it on the new partition | 21:32 |
| sebsebseb | _jesse_: there will be a ppa for later kernel for Ubuntu I guess, but most users don't even need the latest | 21:32 |
| aeon-ltd | shiftingcontrol: new software is not always efficient for some pieces of hardware, if there are unusual problems please givve more details | 21:32 |
| psymin | I'm installing LTS on a box. I need both server and desktop features. Should I install desktop and then apt-get the server stuff .. or install server and apt-get the desktop stuff? How will this affect the 3 and 5 year support? | 21:33 |
| BinaryMan | a file that has a list of packages that should be installed, but sees which packages aren't installed, and gives me the option to have them automagically installed. | 21:33 |
| BinaryMan | and i've checked .config | 21:33 |
| Silent_Dream | ChogyDan, wildbat: I can boot into recovery mode | 21:33 |
| Silent_Dream | Also, seems I was mistaken, I am new to grub, and it seems theress an arrow pointing down taht I missed | 21:33 |
| aeon-ltd | psymin: server method would be better, so you'll have a better grip of all X software installed | 21:33 |
| Silent_Dream | so it turns out my windows is still there | 21:33 |
| Silent_Dream | thank god | 21:33 |
| s3r3n1t7 | psymin, both ways are just as good, though my reccomendation would be install server and apt the desktop in. The support is unaffected. | 21:33 |
| Silent_Dream | anyways, what do I do when I am in recovery mode? | 21:34 |
| psymin | s3r3n1t7: good to know, thanks :) | 21:34 |
| ChogyDan | taylor_: well, that sounds like a problem with windows, but basically you don't need to do anything on the ubuntu side. Just install windows over ubuntu and ubuntu will be gone (make sure you backup all the files you need) | 21:34 |
| _jesse_ | sebsebseb: well 2.6.32 has issues with my wireless card and 2.6.34 works with it, but I'm on the rc6 of that and assumed there was an update somewhere, can't remember where I got the rc from | 21:34 |
| ChogyDan | Silent_Dream: start with sudo apt-get upgrade | 21:34 |
| Silent_Dream | well, there is a menu in recovery mode, it says like | 21:34 |
| Silent_Dream | select | 21:35 |
| Silent_Dream | normal boot, etc | 21:35 |
| Silent_Dream | what do I pick there in that menu | 21:35 |
| FloodBot1 | Silent_Dream: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 21:35 |
| wildbat | Silent_Dream, netroot | 21:35 |
| ChogyDan | _jesse_: have you tried LBM? | 21:35 |
| brett|afk | is there a canadian ubuntu channel? | 21:35 |
| bazhang | !ca | brett|afk | 21:35 |
| ubottu | brett|afk: Canadian Ubuntu users can be found in #ubuntu-ca | 21:35 |
| wildbat | Silent_Dream, this give you root shell with network access | 21:35 |
| taylor_ | @ChogyDan I Cant it wont let me install onto the c: drive b/c it sais it doesn't have the correct/proper driver | 21:36 |
| Andriesss | Hey folks, anyone has gotten Skype to work on ubuntu 10.04 LTS? | 21:36 |
| _jesse_ | ChogyDan: LBM? | 21:36 |
| shiftingcontrol | AEON-LTD:if i open ten apps i m gone,my eclipse (php ide) doesnot detect input from my keyboard and vlc gets stuck in between and some times it says doesnot have enuf space,but swap has enough space, | 21:36 |
| Andrew9 | Andriesss: works ok | 21:36 |
| prawn | ChogyDan: maybe he needs to delete the existing partitions first? | 21:36 |
| sjm | Andriesss, did you install it from the "partners" repo? | 21:36 |
| aeon-ltd | shiftingcontrol: what are the ten apps?, btw frankly ten apps is a lot to be fair | 21:36 |
| cgroza | Andriesss, are you having problems with it? | 21:37 |
| zorkmidon | the file "inittab" - what is the equivalent in Ubuntu 10.04? if there is any? | 21:37 |

| frxstrem | sjm: I mean send a DNS request to a specific DNS server to resolv a hostname, and see the result | 21:40 |
| _jesse_ | ChogyDan: I didn't :( lost connection | 21:40 |

| sjm | frxstrem, I use dig for that | 21:40 |
| Silent_Dream | ChogyDan, wildbat: I dont know whats going on, because I boot into recovery mode, and I see this menu, and when I press the down arrow key to go through the menu options, it just starts loading ubuntu 10.04 instead, which is stuck on load | 21:40 |
| shiftingcontrol | aeon-ltd:not initially aftr one mnth if i suppose,i ve 6 gb free space in /tmp i think vlc 1.1 is unstable | 21:40 |
| frxstrem | sjm: ok, thx :) | 21:40 |
| Andriesss | cgroza, sjm from external libraries it works. Thanks you rock! | 21:40 |
| sjm | frxstrem, e.g. dig www.ibm.com @<dns server> | 21:40 |
| Silent_Dream | Am I pressing the wrong key to get through this menu? Or is it just messed up | 21:41 |
| Silent_Dream | Because the first option is "resume boot" which I dont want | 21:41 |
| aeon-ltd | shiftingcontrol: most likely its just one app bringing it down since it wasn't immediatly after 10.04 | 21:41 |
| _jesse_ | ChogyDan: ah thanks :) I'll give that a shot | 21:41 |
| aeon-ltd | shiftingcontrol: try experimenting by not opening one of the 10 apps | 21:42 |
| ChogyDan | Silent_Dream: I don't know, and wildcat left :( | 21:42 |
| shiftingcontrol | aeon-ltd:ok i ll try mostly i ve prob wid vlc oly | 21:42 |
| Silent_Dream | ChogyDan: Oh dear | 21:42 |
| Silent_Dream | Anyone else know? | 21:42 |
| aeon-ltd | shiftingcontrol: or go into ctrl-alt-f1, or whatever vt you used and check if the app sends a verbose mesg indicating a prob. | 21:42 |
| ChogyDan | Silent_Dream: I would try anything you can to get any sort of boot | 21:42 |
| Silent_Dream | Yeah, I will work on this issue...fortunately windows seems to work fine | 21:43 |
| Silent_Dream | So ill use that until I can fix this | 21:43 |
| sjm | Silent_Dream, what's the problem? | 21:43 |
| Silent_Dream | sjm: Was upgrading 9.10 to 10.04 (doing an alternate iso upgrade), over my system | 21:43 |
| Silent_Dream | and, it froze, so I had to reboot, and now it hangs on the load menu, I dont think it ever finished installing | 21:43 |
| shiftingcontrol | aeon-ltd:fine. . . | 21:43 |
| Silent_Dream | so Im wondering how i can fix this | 21:44 |
| aeon-ltd | shiftingcontrol: have a particular hate for terminals? | 21:44 |
| Andriesss | anywhere I could look for updated drivers for touchpad? | 21:44 |
| zorkmidon | where can I set my default run level? | 21:44 |
| sjm | How was it partitioned? | 21:44 |
| cybrocop | Hi. I'm trying to get my laptop SD card working in Ubuntu 10.04 without any luck. Can anyone help. | 21:44 |
| bdesk | what can i apt-get install to get GL/gl.h ? | 21:44 |
| Silent_Dream | sjm: One partition for linux, one for windows, one for a dell recovery utility thing, I think... | 21:45 |
| sjm | Silent_Dream, how was it partitioned before (9.10) | 21:45 |
| aeon-ltd | zorkmidon: you could just not start X and you'd boot into runlvl 3 | 21:45 |
| shiftingcontrol | aeon-ltd:nah i do almost every wrk via terminal | 21:45 |
| cybrocop | The odd thing is that when I insert the card, there are no dmesg messages printed at all. Shouldn't SOMETHING be logged in dmesg? | 21:45 |
| bdesk | I tried to install.packages('clusterSim') in R, but one of its dependencies wanted this gl.h file. | 21:45 |
| Silent_Dream | sjm: THe partitioning doesnt seem any different now, just the fact that linux wont boot anymore | 21:45 |
| shiftingcontrol | aeon-ltd:every app i open using terminal send th message back in terminal | 21:45 |
| shiftingcontrol | aeon-ltd:i open all apps using app_name & | 21:45 |
| zorkmidon | aeon-ltd, I know but is there a file like inittab? | 21:45 |
| gigasoft | how to switch to another group in terminal ? | 21:46 |
| aeon-ltd | shiftingcontrol: oh, so going to the vt is pointless | 21:46 |
| thune3 | glace: can you show the actual command that is causing this problem | 21:46 |
| aeon-ltd | zorkmidon: i don't use ubuntu or a debian based distro so i wouldn't know | 21:46 |
| aeon-ltd | shiftingcontrol: does vlc show problems? | 21:46 |
| sjm | Silent_Dream, the "easiest" might be to just reinstall. You can boot into a live cd to save off documents and settings first. | 21:46 |
| zorkmidon | aeon-ltd, thanks m8. | 21:46 |
| shiftingcontrol | aeon_ltd:i often find vlc printing message not enough space ,some kind of thing related to memory | 21:47 |
| verily | I am currently unable to properly load my desktop w/o going into failsafe X mode (where it works perfectly btw). I get this -> http://tiny.cc/k2dza goofy artifact. I am using a newly installed 10.04 w/ fully updated drivers (inc. proprietary 4 my card). The problem appears to be with my X configuration, but I am unsure how to proceed, as i don't know what a sane & default X looks like in 10.04. Any thoughts to push me in the righ | 21:48 |
| aeon-ltd | shiftingcontrol: so mostlikely a bug, then theres not much to do besides wait and report it | 21:48 |
| Silent_Dream | sjm: Perhaps I can do this...although I would have to reinstall a fair amount of things | 21:48 |
| Silent_Dream | sjm: I know how to boot into a LiveCD and I have one on me | 21:49 |
| Silent_Dream | once there, though, how can I recover my files? | 21:49 |
| Silent_Dream | and settings | 21:49 |
| shiftingcontrol | aeon_ltd:i often find in system tray menu at right extreme icon missing ,mostly contains shut down and log off is missing,instead i find ubuntu one chat menu repeated | 21:49 |
| sjm | Silent_Dream, save the "." directories under your home directory for your settings | 21:49 |
| sjm | Silent_Dream, I'd probably save your whole /home tree to a different drive/partition | 21:50 |
| ChogyDan | Silent_Dream: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery | 21:50 |
| sjm | Silent_Dream, (in a terminal: cp -rp /home /path/to/save/to/) | 21:50 |
| glace | thune3: er.. I use "less" in gnome-terminal to show a file.. and then I press "/" and some words.. and when I press the enter key , it does not work... just add "ESCOM" behind what I input... | 21:51 |
| pifuka_ | .info | 21:51 |
| aeon-ltd | shiftingcontrol: this gnome-panel? | 21:52 |
| shiftingcontrol | yea | 21:52 |
| trism | bdesk: probably want mesa-common-dev, apt-file search will find files in the repo if you install it and sudo apt-file update; | 21:52 |
| sjm | Silent_Dream, try what ChogyDan gave you (though I still might save the home directory tree first). | 21:52 |
| aeon-ltd | shiftingcontrol: running compiz? | 21:53 |
| bdesk | trism: thanks! i did not know about apt-file search. | 21:53 |
| shiftingcontrol | aeon-ltd:lots of bug i find in 10.04 ,suddenly my folder icon and appearance setting are changed,once i restart it wrks fine | 21:53 |
| shiftingcontrol | aeon-ltd:compiz means? | 21:53 |
| aeon-ltd | shiftingcontrol: compiz fusion | 21:53 |
| aeon-ltd | shiftingcontrol: compositing could be causing the problems in gnome panel and vlc | 21:53 |
| Silent_Dream | sjm: its true that all the user's settings are in /home folder? boy thats nice | 21:54 |
| shiftingcontrol | aeon-ltd:hw t find it? | 21:54 |
| aeon-ltd | shiftingcontrol: its in appearences on the effects tab | 21:54 |
| Gryllida | how do I clone a project in mercurial? | 21:55 |
| Silent_Dream | I really should have done backups first, not aftewards, I will definitely backup my home folder | 21:55 |
| sam_ | Hi i have a privilege problem. Can anyone help ? | 21:55 |
| sjm | Silent_Dream, yes, that's one reason many have /home on a separate partition so that if a reinstall is required you can just use it as is without a reformat. | 21:55 |
| neena | Gryllida: 'hg clone repopath'? | 21:56 |
| shiftingcontrol | aeon-ltd:yea i find that happening,if i remove the package and reinstall ll it wrk properly? | 21:56 |
| aeon-ltd | shiftingcontrol: so your using compiz effects? | 21:56 |
| Silent_Dream | sjm: That sounds pretty cool, is there some sort of guide for setting that up | 21:56 |
| neena | sam_: if you tell us what the problem is.. | 21:56 |

| Milk | ok | 22:13 |

| daichi | visudo /etc/sudoers ? | 22:13 |
| jrib | daichi: no, just what I wrote | 22:13 |
| seiya42 | Somebody told me to use the "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda" command to wipe a hard drive. Is it supposed to end at some point or does it just keep writing zeros to the hard drive until I stop it? | 22:14 |

| nathandyer | Is there a way to crack the DRM on iTunes videos to watch on Ubuntu? | 22:18 |

| freezway | jrib, I KNOW. i upDATED not upGRADED. i was using lucid and they were on the right. the i ran sudo apt-get upgrade and now they are on the left | 22:46 |
| Milk | EgyParadox: i dont think so | 22:46 |
| soreau | avi93: Ok, install the 18*.xx and later versioned packages | 22:46 |
| EgyParadox | Milk: Try it then | 22:46 |
| jrib | freezway: so? | 22:46 |
| FloodBot1 | !netsplit | 22:46 |
| 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 | 22:46 |
| freezway | jrib, I DONT WANT THEM THERE! | 22:47 |
| jrib | freezway: ok. So did you do what ubottu told you to do if you don't want them there? | 22:47 |
| Rafase_282 | can someone help me with deboostrap? | 22:47 |
| soreau | avi93: From that modalias list, of course | 22:47 |
| Roasted | Intel wifi drivers are integrated in linux, right? I just put an intel card in this laptop that was supposedly supported but it doesnt show me any wireless devices available. | 22:47 |
| Milk | EgyParadox: how ? | 22:47 |
| avi93 | soreau: 180 and 185? install them both? or only the 185? | 22:47 |
| LittleWolf1 | booo | 22:47 |
| marine1 | Loshki: did you find anything | 22:47 |
| Loshki | marine1: closest I can find is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/consolekit/+bug/549073. I don't think it helps much :-) | 22:47 |
| soreau | avi93: See, you're not installing the driver, you're just making that version of the driver available in the jockey list (sys>admin>hardware drivers) | 22:48 |
| freezway | jrib, no i JUST WANT CHROMIUM'S on the right | 22:48 |
| daichi | i would like to use my bash script to automatically add "127.0.0.1 sitename.localhost" to /etc/hosts -- how would i do this in bash? | 22:48 |
| robot_ | PLEAASE HELP =D, this might be stupid, but somehow I got my mouse into "drag" mode (perhaps this mode has a different name?), when i click on windows I cannot select text or click on buttons, I can only drag the entire window, when I hold the "ctrl" button it makes the mouse behave normally... how do I get out of this mode (restarting ubuntu does not help) | 22:48 |
| EgyParadox | You are using ethernet or WIFi? | 22:48 |
| soreau | avi93: So you might as well install all the modalias packages corresponding to driver versions that support your card | 22:48 |
| avi93 | soreau: already installed | 22:48 |
| jrib | freezway: can you stop with the caps? It's a bit annoying. The only way you might be able to do that is if you use a different theme just for chromium and I'm not sure that's even possible | 22:49 |
| soreau | avi93: Then it should appear in the jockey list | 22:49 |
| gustavo | jrib, just to tell you that it worked. thanks a lot. | 22:49 |
| jrib | gustavo: no problem | 22:50 |
| Loshki | daichi: something like: echo "127.0.0.1 sitename.localhost" >> /etc/hosts <--- note the double >> sign | 22:50 |
| freezway | jrib, sorry, im having a realllllly bad day. im not sure why it started doing this. before i updated (i was running lucid) the buttons for chromium were on the right. now they aren't | 22:50 |
| avi93 | soreau: but for some reason it's not appearing there | 22:50 |
| jrib | freezway: I don't use chromium. Does it not use the window manager's title bar? Does it implement its own then? | 22:51 |
| freezway | jrib, its own | 22:51 |
| LjL | jrib: i don't think it uses the WM's titlebar, no | 22:51 |
| soreau | avi93: Is this an upgrade from the previous version of ubuntu? | 22:51 |
| LjL | jrib: not by default anyway. can be made to. | 22:51 |
| avi93 | soreau: yea | 22:51 |
| soreau | avi93: What is the output of 'apt-cache policy jockey-gtk'? | 22:52 |

| jrib | freezway: oh, it's probably a matter of changing chromium's theme then, I don't know anything about it however. Maybe this will help: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=39406 | 22:52 |
| tenochslb | guys i need a iso burner that works great and allows me to reduce the speed to 4x. I burned lubuntu iso and the the md5 turn out different. Please any advices would be great i am on ubuntu 10.04 | 22:53 |

| LittleWolf1 | Hello, will it hurt my system if I'm always logged as administrator? | 22:54 |
| tenochslb | switch10_, i had brasero but did not find the option to reduce the burning speed | 22:54 |
| switch10_ | tenochslb: its there | 22:54 |
| freezway | jrib, thats my issue... doesn't offer a solution | 22:54 |
| tenochslb | ok let me reinstall it again and tell where it is, switch10_ | 22:55 |
| NigelS | jrib, freezway: the funny thing is that the issue here was considered a bug - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/568307 and the last round of updates corrected it | 22:55 |
| adac | http://pastie.org/1035074 any ideas hwo to solve this issue? | 22:56 |
| freezway | NigelS, but i dont want them on the left. isn't there a way to move ONLY chromiums on the right?@ | 22:56 |
| jrib | freezway: not really. The solution to that bug is your issue actually. The bug is that chromium didn't respect to the metacity settings in gconf. The fix was to make it check the gconf settings and behave accordingly. You want it to NOT do that. | 22:56 |
| LittleWolf1 | Hello, will it hurt my system if I'm always logged as administrator? | 22:56 |
| avi93 | soreau: any idea? | 22:56 |
| slowfuse | Attempting to use ssh -D as socks proxy instead of squid (http proxy). Firefox and Pidgin work using system settings, but apt-get does not. Any way to fix? | 22:56 |
| freezway | jrib, correct | 22:56 |
| jrib | LittleWolf1: what do you mean by "administrator"? | 22:56 |
| Barnabas | LittleWolf1, yes | 22:57 |
| NigelS | freezway: certainly, if you replicate the bug :) I haven't looked into the issue but it seems like its use of gnome themes was such that it wasn't reading gconf keys | 22:57 |
| LittleWolf1 | there's still a 1 stuck by my name? damn it | 22:57 |
| jrib | freezway: depending on how much time you want to invest, create a patch to offer such a setting | 22:57 |
| LittleWolf1 | I am a linux newbie, but I read that being logged on as root user can hurt your system | 22:57 |
| LittleWolf1 | SHoudl I make an account to use regularly, and if so, which permissions should it have to be workable? | 22:57 |
| bastidrazor | LittleWolf1: if you're using 10.04 you are unable to login as root | 22:57 |
| avi93 | LittleWolf1: it's just not safe | 22:57 |
| jrib | LittleWolf1: it doesn't "hurt" it. It's what you do with it that hurts it... | 22:57 |
| avi93 | LittleWolf1: you better dont do it | 22:58 |
| LittleWolf1 | Well, I am quite a dumbass | 22:58 |
| freezway | jrib, my programming knowledge = "create a window with glut and tell if 'a' is pressed" | 22:58 |
| jrib | LittleWolf1: well you can't login as root by default anyway | 22:58 |
| Barnabas | LittleWolf1, if you start firefox on the net as root you ask for it ... | 22:58 |
| citrus2 | sudo bash && passwd root | 22:58 |
| jrib | freezway: you can comment on the bug ? | 22:58 |
| LittleWolf1 | I'm getting conflicting answers | 22:58 |
| * jrib sighs... | 22:58 | |
| jrib | LittleWolf1: which ones conflict? | 22:58 |
| bazhang | LittleWolf1, use sudo, that's enough | 22:59 |
| closedbracket | what is the recommended way of installing and using Ubuntu on a Mac Intel? VM or Bootcamp? If VM, which? Had some trouble with Virtualbox in the past... | 22:59 |
| LittleWolf1 | Well, you say I can't log on as root user | 22:59 |
| EgyParadox | LittleWolf: When you log in as root, that means everything running in background will be under root which is dangerous actually. | 22:59 |
| LittleWolf1 | @_@ | 22:59 |
| bazhang | LittleWolf1, /msg ubottu sudo and read up | 22:59 |
| LittleWolf1 | okay | 22:59 |
| bazhang | !manual | LittleWolf1 and have a look at this | 23:00 |
| Barnabas | LittleWolf1, sudo is the tool you need - perhaps gksudo | 23:00 |
| ubottu | LittleWolf1 and have a look at this: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 23:00 |
| jrib | closedbracket: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 23:00 |
| LittleWolf1 | I am still learning about sudo | 23:00 |
| EgyParadox | everything actually will be run as root. | 23:00 |
| EgyParadox | !sudo>LittleWolf1 | 23:01 |
| ubottu | LittleWolf1, please see my private message | 23:01 |
| Barnabas | or any user you choose | 23:01 |
| LittleWolf1 | JUst to clarify, I just installed ubuntu 10.04 recently, and I was warned not to use a root account as it can harm my system, so I was wondering what would be the best action to take before I move forwards | 23:01 |
| Barnabas | sudo -u <foo> <bar> | 23:01 |
| jrib | LittleWolf1: why do you even care about root or sudo? Just use your system | 23:01 |
| alteregoa | Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra | 23:01 |
| Barnabas | alteregoa, cool | 23:02 |
| EgyParadox | LittleWolf1: Use root only when you need it. | 23:02 |
| EgyParadox | thats all | 23:02 |
| LittleWolf1 | Because I don't like to mess with things I don't understand, I'm trying to learn about them so I don't run into them unexpectedly | 23:02 |
| alteregoa | Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra | 23:02 |
| jrib | LittleWolf1: right, just use the gui tools to do what you want. If you need to do things that a regular user can't do, use sudo. But the official documentation will tell you if you need to do so and how | 23:02 |
| closedbracket | jrib: thanks, that's what I needed | 23:02 |
| LittleWolf1 | So the usename and password I entered when I installed ubuntu are not really a root account? | 23:03 |
| jrib | closedbracket: personally, refit works fine | 23:03 |
| bazhang | LittleWolf1, thus reading the manual is a good step | 23:03 |
| tenochslb | switch10_ ok i have brasero how do i set up the burning speed to 4x? | 23:03 |
| jrib | LittleWolf1: no. It's a user with sudo privileges | 23:03 |
| bazhang | LittleWolf1, such basic issues are handled there | 23:03 |
| wizard_ | hello all need some help on 2 issues 1st whats the command line to install java sudo apt-get install ? | 23:04 |
| LittleWolf1 | I did read various manuals and guides, but some parts are not easy for me to grasp =/ | 23:04 |
| sebsebseb | !java | wizard_ | 23:04 |
| ubottu | wizard_: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. | 23:04 |
| bazhang | LittleWolf1, well the ubuntu manual is the best of them. give it a read first please | 23:04 |
| LittleWolf1 | It's basic to you guys, but the terminology is confusing at my stage ;___; | 23:04 |
| jrib | LittleWolf1: http://ubuntu-manual.org/ and http://help.ubuntu.com are generally very readable | 23:04 |
| LittleWolf1 | OKay! I'll read them, thanks again =) | 23:05 |

| daichi | yes | 23:08 |
| citrus2 | did you buy an cert or are you trying to use self signed? | 23:08 |

| Adola | ActionParsnip: I don't understand, what .deb do I need to get? Because Pcsx2 doesn't have a .deb. | 23:32 |
| jrib | erUSUL: ah, « man Xsecurity » describes it | 23:33 |
| erUSUL | jrib: [+]name The given name (the plus sign is optional) is added to the list allowed to connect to the X server. further down --> A complete name has the syntax ``family:name'' | 23:33 |
| erUSUL | jrib: and in the list local is a family | 23:33 |
| erUSUL | jrib: not sure where the SI comes from ... | 23:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Adola: the deb for the files you are missing | 23:35 |
| Roasted | where are wireless settings stored? I just formatted a laptop with separate root/home partitions. I kept home. It auto connected to my network. Just curious where in home those preferences sit. | 23:35 |
| jrib | erUSUL: that's mentioned in xhost's man but it's detailed in Xsecurity | 23:35 |
| erUSUL | Roasted: in gconf use geconf-editor search for the network-manager keys | 23:35 |
| erUSUL | jrib: yep just took a look now | 23:36 |
| Roasted | gosh. ubuntu is running dog chit slow on this thing. | 23:36 |
| Oddtod | how would i just make my DNS google dns while using DHCP for my address? | 23:36 |
| Roasted | 1.5ghz single core proc and 1gb ram should be enough for 10.04 - right? | 23:36 |
| Adola | ActionParsnip: Ok, so I just need to try to find the .deb of each of the libraries I'm missing, and extract them to /usr/lib32/ ? | 23:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Adola: just the .so is all you need | 23:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Oddtod: you set it up in network manager, its i the ipv4 settings | 23:36 |
| johngilbrough | Issue when doing a apt-get upgrade just after a new install I get an error - please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/460409/ | 23:36 |
| lfitz | ActionParsnip: i should have specified the kernel is for armv5 sheevaplug | 23:36 |

| splashote | hey guys, is there any way I could stream the audio output of my system as an internet stream ? I want to use guayadeque to play music at the next party and use my NOXON internet radio as a client for the sound.... is it possible? | 23:37 |
| MaRk-I | splashote: maybe with VLC | 23:38 |
| splashote | i know there are icecast etc. but does any of this stream servers support grabbing the system sound and streaming it. | 23:38 |
| ActionParsnip | splashote: vlc can do it | 23:39 |
| splashote | MaRk-I: i suppose i'd have to play the files in VLC directly? this might be a solution, but actually I'd love to play the music with guayadeque... | 23:39 |
| ridin | where are the default wallpapers located | 23:39 |
| Oddtod | ActionParsnip: thank you | 23:40 |
| skydrome | can anyone help me with this? i have other characters instead of lines -> http://imgur.com/V4GPF.png | 23:40 |
| === WOPR is now known as Guest8920 | ||
| MaRk-I | splashote: vlc has a way to stream, havent tried it and I have no idea what guayadeque is | 23:42 |
| splashote | guayadeque is a player like rhythmbox. but far better. It's in the maverick repo. | 23:42 |
| splashote | i'm right now reading a how to stream for vlc. my idea was to play the music with an independent audio player and to stream the sound directly... but probably it's easier to use one programme for playing and streaming.. | 23:43 |
| juken | How can I get the monitor on the left to have the gnome panel and act as the primary display? When I do screen detection it's labeled 1, but it's not acting as the primary display. http://i.imgur.com/QnsJv.jpg | 23:45 |
| MaRk-I | splashote: is this inside a LAN or outside? | 23:45 |
| splashote | MaRk-I: inside. it'll be in the kitchen. | 23:45 |
| lfitz | ActionParsnip: the kernel is 2.6.30 for armv5 sheevplug, can i update this to the lucid kernel? i read lucid only supports a different version of arm | 23:45 |
| MaRk-I | splashote: if both PCs have same OS pulseaudio can stream what 1 is playing and the other one pick it up | 23:46 |
| ActionParsnip | lfitz: ive not used arm with ubuntu so cant really comment. You could upgrade to the newer releases to get later kernels. | 23:46 |
| splashote | one device is a simple NOXON internet radio. so it has to be a "common" mp3 stream | 23:46 |

| p1oooop | thanks soreau | 23:53 |
| p1oooop | anyone? | 23:54 |
| soreau | p1l0t: What does alt +/- do? | 23:54 |
| soreau | er | 23:54 |
| soreau | p1oooop: | 23:54 |
| p1oooop | it switches ttys | 23:55 |
| cruzz | i bought a 2T WD drive that is supposedly 4k physical sectors... the ubuntu live CD hdparm -I says its 512b physical sectors... can it be wrong (perhaps my old machine's sata controller won't report 4k?) | 23:55 |
| cruzz | I want to be sure its 512bytes before I misformat the drive and get shitty performance | 23:55 |
| Daekdroom | p1oooop, I don't think it does.. | 23:55 |
| teler666 | \channel | 23:55 |
| p1oooop | I'm trying to se IRRSI properly and I need the alt + (+) and alt + (-) keys | 23:55 |
| ActionParsnip | cruzz: make sure your bios is the latest, you may need to use larger block sizes | 23:56 |
| p1oooop | Daekdroom: try it in a TTY | 23:56 |
| enaut | Question: I want to start my computer without the kernel module ipw2100 (wifi), but want to be able to load it later on during a session. | 23:56 |
| enaut | how can I achieve this effect? | 23:56 |
| Daekdroom | p1oooop, it doesn't do squat in here. | 23:56 |
| cruzz | ActionParsnip: right, but wouldn't I need to make sure fdisk doesn't misalight the partitions? | 23:57 |
| ActionParsnip | enaut: you could add the rmmod command in /etc/rc.local | 23:57 |
| p1oooop | Daekdroom: really... | 23:57 |
| xangua | enaut: sudo modprobe ipw2100 ¿¿ | 23:57 |
| ActionParsnip | cruzz: i guess yeah | 23:57 |
| xangua | or the module name, i don't think that is | 23:57 |
| jan247 | hi guys, how many outgoing tcp connections can a linux box have? i'm hoping to perform load tests with around 100k to 200k connections.. | 23:57 |
| p1oooop | Daekdroom: I guess my terminal just sucks | 23:57 |
| p1oooop | Daekdroom: did you switch to a non-GUI terminal before tring it? | 23:57 |
| p1oooop | *tying | 23:57 |
| Daekdroom | p1l0t, of course. | 23:57 |
| p1oooop | *tring | 23:57 |
| p1oooop | darnit.. | 23:57 |

| Daekdroom | CRTL + ALT + F1, logged in and tried all possible ALTs and -'s and +'s there's in my keyboard. | 23:58 |
| Daekdroom | None of them switched from tty1 | 23:58 |
| ActionParsnip | jan247: 65535 is the highest port number | 23:58 |
| p1oooop | well, I need to fix my terminal... and I'm sure it happens... | 23:58 |
| enaut | xangua: I want it disabled at startup... so something like the blacklist. but as I understood the blacklist I can't activate it manually if its in there | 23:58 |
| p1oooop | so... IDK | 23:58 |
| jan247 | ActionParsnip: can't get any higher than that right? | 23:58 |
| p1oooop | jan247: yup | 23:59 |
| tenochslb | is there a way to tell brasero to burn at 4x speed? it only has 20x and other option. i need to burn a live cd at 4x | 23:59 |
