| jan247 | ActionParsnip: hehe, thanks as well | 00:01 |
| p1oooop | anyone know a good guide to a mailserver under ubuntu? | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | np bro | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | p1oooop: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer | 00:02 |
| p1oooop | thanks :) | 00:02 |
| p1oooop | awesome | 00:02 |
| jan247 | I wonder though, so that means that any service that relies on a consistent tcp connection is maxed out serving ~65k clients at a time right? | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip | jan247: no, you can have multiple connections on the same port but the sessions will be handled by the session layer in the OSI model | 00:03 |
| jan247 | ActionParsnip: I see. however, outgoing connections each uses up different ports right? | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | jan247: depends o the protocol, ftp does but many don't | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | on* | 00:05 |
| Roasted | I thought intel cards were a sure fire win with ubuntu. Why am I having trouble with ubuntu wireless AGAIN? I have an intel card. fml. | 00:05 |
| jan247 | ActionParsnip: ok, got it. tnx again for clearing that up | 00:05 |
| QuidRagPro | wow this room is kind of sour | 00:06 |

| p1oooop | Roasted: what card are you running? | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Roasted: sudo lshw -C network | grep -i product will tell you what chip it uses | 00:08 |
| Roasted | Intel BG 2200 Pro | 00:08 |
| Roasted | supposed rated as 100% working out of box. Worked fine for 5 mins, then magically wouldnt connect. | 00:08 |
| p1oooop | Roasted: sometimes some cards are not enabled in the kernel conf or they don't have the necessary drivers in the kernel | 00:08 |
| Roasted | Going to continuously ping google and watch it and see if it drops again | 00:08 |
| p1oooop | hmm | 00:09 |
| Roasted | it said it was connected, yet I couldnt connect to my samba sure. sure enough, samba was fine. tried to refresh the page I was on in firefox, errors out. Disconnected from wifi, tried to reconnect, wouldnt ever reconnect. | 00:09 |
| Roasted | so I just rebooted, connected fine. | 00:09 |
| Roasted | but like I said, pinging google's dns server continuously till it errors out | 00:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Roasted: can you ping web based names and / or IPs? | 00:09 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, yes | 00:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Roasted: can you bring up web pages ok? | 00:09 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, everything is perfect - for about 5 minutes. | 00:10 |
| p1oooop | slow internel... lol | 00:10 |
| p1oooop | *internet | 00:10 |
| Roasted | then I just lost connection. No errors. Said connected. | 00:10 |
| Roasted | I just flat out lost connection | 00:10 |
| DrGrov | Enlightenment 17 on Ubuntu 10.04? | 00:10 |

| s3r3n1t7 | ActionParsnip, how's he going to pastebin it with a dropped conn? | 00:11 |
| p1oooop | Roasted: it's in the kernel... not a kernel problem | 00:11 |
| ActionParsnip | s3r3n1t7: he can paste to a text file, reboot get conected and pastebin | 00:11 |
| DrGrov | ActionParsnip: well nice, I finally got a good topic to read. | 00:11 |
| ActionParsnip | DrGrov: the ppa has a lucid folder :) | 00:12 |
| s3r3n1t7 | ActionParsnip, if he thinks bout it ... good luck (and thanks for helpin so many ppl) | 00:12 |

| p1oooop | I guess this is my punishment... LOL | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | s3r3n1t7: np man, fun to help. I get zero issues here due to limited use and intelligent purchasing | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | s3r3n1t7: so it kinda teaches me the OS | 00:13 |
| p1oooop | I'm in for a few years... still learning :P | 00:14 |
| s3r3n1t7 | ActionParsnip, i know how that feels although i'm once again stuck on writing a plan for our new IT infra structure ... the fun | 00:14 |
| p1oooop | not the hardest thing in the world... | 00:14 |
| GArReT | hey guys, I've plugged my wireless USB card into my ubuntu computer, but I cant seem to find it anywhere... where can i find hardware and if ubuntu was able to install that hardware? | 00:14 |
| ThiagoMedeiros | can someone help me to install my mouse? microsoft wireless presenter 8000 (bluetooth) | 00:14 |
| p1oooop | confusing, fustrating, but ultimately pretty rewarding | 00:14 |
| p1oooop | ThiagoMedeiros: I'm afraid bluetooth has limited support under linux | 00:15 |
| MaRk-I | GArReT: lsusb | 00:15 |
| Roasted | almost 500 successful pings | 00:15 |
| s3r3n1t7 | GArReT, generally it's found and installed when you plug it in. Can you see a wireless network icon top right? | 00:15 |
| ThiagoMedeiros | ploooop =/ | 00:15 |
| p1oooop | ThiagoMedeiros: what ubuntu release are you running | 00:15 |
| ThiagoMedeiros | 10.04 | 00:16 |
| GArReT | s3r3n1t7, its not actually a wireless device... it has wireless functionality, but its actually a modem that connects me to the internet | 00:16 |
| GArReT | MaRk-I, do i Download that? | 00:16 |
| s3r3n1t7 | GArReT, lsusb is a command you can run in a !cli | 00:16 |
| MaRk-I | GArReT: no, you type lsusb in terminal and it lists the usb devices detected | 00:16 |
| p1oooop | ThiagoMedeiros: I'll see if bluetooth pointing devices are supported | 00:16 |
| timposey | can anyone tell me why my cellphone is not recognized on one of my ubuntu computers and will not charge when I plug it in? anyone have any idea of what to check. | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | GArReT: sudo lshw -C network websearch for the product line to find guides | 00:17 |
| GArReT | ok but if my modem is listed there? will it work? or do i need to get the drivers for it?? since i think there is only windows drivers.... | 00:17 |
| MK13 | Would dd'ing one NTFS partition to another one like 'dd if=/dev/sdx1 of=/dev/sdy1' then lengthening the partition on sdy (sdx is smaller than sdy) work to create a clone of a harddrive which houses an OS? | 00:17 |
| ActionParsnip | timposey: it should charge in any usb port, regardless of OS | 00:17 |
| taylor_ | okay, i put ubuntu on a separate computer and it took up the whole drive... No Windows is left... I have a boot disk for it. Ive booted it up more than once now, and every time i try it tells me it needs another driver to write over ubuntu... What do I do?!? | 00:18 |
| ThiagoMedeiros | p1oooop: ok | 00:18 |
| GArReT | i'm just having a hard time connecting to the internet via my modem on ubuntu :( | 00:18 |
| GArReT | ok but let me try that first | 00:18 |
| ActionParsnip | MK13: i'd ask in ##windows too | 00:18 |
| === slidinghorn is now known as SlidingHorn_out | ||
| timposey | ActionParsnip, it does on every other computer, and shows up as a usb type jump drive, but not on this system. | 00:18 |
| MK13 | ActionParsnip: but is the idea atleast sound? | 00:18 |
| ActionParsnip | MK13: makes sense | 00:18 |
| MK13 | ActionParsnip: ok, thanks | 00:19 |
| ActionParsnip | timposey: sounds like a dead port, usb has a pin for +5V which charges devices and/or gives them power, so if its not charging the port is dead assuming you use the same cable | 00:19 |
| p1oooop | ThiagoMedeiros: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=227057&highlight=bluetooth+mouse here's a guide | 00:20 |
| taylor_ | okay, i put ubuntu on a separate computer and it took up the whole drive... No Windows is left... I have a boot disk for it. Ive booted it up more than once now, and every time i try it tells me it needs another driver to write over ubuntu... What do I do?!? | 00:21 |
| timposey | ActionParsnip; it was a bad cable... I was pulling my hair out with that one, because the cable works with everything else.. | 00:22 |
| p1oooop | taylor_: windows tells you that? | 00:22 |
| GArReT | Guys, Does ubuntu have drivers for all hardware, or only most of them? | 00:22 |
| maco | GArReT: most | 00:22 |
| GArReT | hmmm so for example if i plug in a webcam... what will ubuntu tell me? | 00:23 |
| taylor_ | @Ploooop yeah when i boot it from the disk, but i doesnt tell me what driver... | 00:23 |
| maco | GArReT: it wont tell you anything. either it'll just magically work when you try a webcam-using program, or it won't | 00:23 |
| ActionParsnip | timposey: weird, oh well you got the gold | 00:23 |
| maco | GArReT: the "dmesg" command will tell you what the kernel's saying about stuff. you can see an event in there saying something was plugged in | 00:24 |
| GArReT | you see my problem is that i DONT know when it is working or not working.... It's like I said, I plugged my modem into my ubuntu PC, but I dont know if he installed it and what to do next!! | 00:24 |
| dugger5688 | taylor_: Windows won't recognize ext (the filesystem used by ubuntu). A fresh install of windows will be able to reformat the drive back to FAT/NTFS. The ubuntu live CD can also format a drive to anything you would nedd. | 00:24 |
| timposey | GArRet; It has had drivers for most everything that I have ever had to use, you can use drivers that come with some items even though they were not specifically made to work with ubuntu | 00:24 |
| timposey | ActionParsnip; thanks.. | 00:24 |
| maco | GArReT: i think modems require wvdial to configure | 00:25 |
| taylor_ | @dugger5688 so i just need a ubuntu live disk to get rid of ubuntu?!? | 00:25 |
| ActionParsnip | dugger5688: www.fs-driver.org gives read access to ext3 and ext2 | 00:25 |
| dugger5688 | taylor_: read my post again. | 00:25 |
| dugger5688 | ActionParsnip: I know that, but he's talking about a windows boot disk. | 00:25 |
| R3cur51v3 | How do you completely, temporarily disable the firewall? | 00:25 |
| ActionParsnip | dugger5688: gotcha | 00:26 |
| D3RGPS31 | any downsides to 64bit? | 00:26 |
| taylor_ | @dugger5688 so i just need to format the drive on a ubuntu live disk | 00:26 |
| dugger5688 | D#RGPS31: some people say that flash is moody but no problems here. Also u need more memory for it. | 00:26 |
| taylor_ | ? | 00:26 |
| dugger5688 | taylor_: That or a windows install CD (assuming you want to get rid of ubuntu) | 00:26 |
| ActionParsnip | D3RGPS31: some manufacturers dont give drives for 32bit and some apps that arent on the repos arent 64bit so you will have to manually satisfy 32bit deps manually | 00:26 |
| D3RGPS31 | dugger5688: i won't need more than 650K :3 | 00:26 |
| D3RGPS31 | ActionParsnip: ty | 00:27 |
| dugger5688 | Uhhh, yeah you will.... | 00:27 |
| D3RGPS31 | dugger5688: i was playing a joke on what Gate's said :< | 00:27 |
| ActionParsnip | D3RGPS31: id say use 64bit if your cpu is 64bit | 00:27 |
| dugger5688 | lol, nice. | 00:27 |
| dugger5688 | my bad. | 00:27 |
| D3RGPS31 | dugger5688: darn rite it is | 00:27 |
| taylor_ | @dugger5688 yeah i have ubuntu on this netbook here. and im gonna go remove ubuntu frm the 10.04 LTS desktop thanks | 00:28 |
| trickx51 | I wanted to know if there was a way to run ubuntu from a flashdrive with different applications then the ones already installed | 00:28 |
| dugger5688 | trickx51: make a persistent install and boot it, install the software. It should retain the software from then on. | 00:28 |
| ActionParsnip | trickx51: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization customise the iso then transfer that | 00:28 |
| trickx51 | ?? Im running from a liveCD....is there anyway to do it without a full install? | 00:29 |
| lyrae | how do i see how much space i have left on my HD? | 00:29 |

| R3cur51v3 | Please, I need to know quickly: how do I disable the firewall? | 00:29 |
| red2kic | !firewall | R3cur51v3 | 00:29 |
| ubottu | R3cur51v3: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 00:29 |
| ActionParsnip | trickx51: you can uninstall apps in the live environment but they will be back next boot | 00:30 |
| lyrae | ActionParsnip, thanks | 00:30 |
| D3RGPS31 | R3cur51v3: sudo service iptables stop | 00:31 |
| D3RGPS31 | R3cur51v3: i think :D | 00:31 |
| hlp | Hi, is there any way to set Alt-Backspace to word delete in Ubuntu? | 00:31 |

| sebsebseb | !ffmpeg | shomon | 00:32 |

| shomon | I have some 3gp videos I want to convert to avi | 00:32 |
| shomon | and it looks like only the nonfree bit of it works with this codec | 00:32 |
| sebsebseb | shomon: its in the repo I think | 00:32 |
| sebsebseb | !codecs | 00:33 |

| MaRk-I | trickx51: that's a CLI program | 00:35 |
| p1oooop | sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng | 00:36 |
| ActionParsnip | shomon: you will need to install ffmpeg | 00:36 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: uh yes | 00:36 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: they were wondering how to install ffmpeg | 00:36 |
| shomon | I have it | 00:36 |
| p1oooop | it is the older version of aircrack-ng though... (I think) | 00:36 |
| ActionParsnip | shomon: or you can try handbrake or winff | 00:36 |
| p1oooop | sebsebseb: I'm sure it's in the repositories | 00:37 |
| shomon | ok | 00:37 |
| MaRk-I | ActionParsnip: it wont work unless he has the latest ffmpeg | 00:37 |
| trickx51 | MaRK-I: What's a CLI program? | 00:37 |
| p1oooop | makes sense... manual compilation? | 00:37 |
| shomon | or do you mean compile it with the nonfree flag enabled? | 00:37 |

| p1oooop | realubot: you can try adjusting your screen | 00:40 |
| realubot | p1oooop: Ok, why is it doing like this? I think my friend (who is actually having the problem) solved the issue by adding a line to the xorg.conf file conatining the new ressolution. | 00:40 |
| ActionParsnip | realubot: if wine is giving you jip i'd ask in #winehq | 00:40 |
| shomon | ah wow, that did something... I'll see if it's produced anything useful... | 00:42 |
| shomon | so it was mencoder rather than ffmpeg that could do it for some reason | 00:42 |

So I won't know if I've locked myself out until I lock myself out. Am I missing something ? [ ufw allow 22 ; then ufw status verbose just reports 'inactive' ] | 00:44 |

| vock | I know for a fact my /home partition is 15 GB, and I am the only user on this computer, and when I go to the properties of my home directory in nautilus it's only at 300 MB, but I'm getting 14 GB is used with df -h on the command line. Any ideas what else takes up space on /home? | 01:00 |
| p1oooop | vock: trash. | 01:00 |
| p1oooop | vock: empty it. | 01:00 |

| mattymanx | I see. So TB3 does not want to support my old Yahoo account while my TB2 will just fine. Checap bastards. | 01:01 |
| maco | vock: keep in mind that whether you use base-2 or base-10 measures, (that is, GiB v. GB) sizes vary. so 14GiB might be 15GB | 01:01 |
| maco | vock: also, note that the filesystem itself reserves 5% of space for root to be able to work to clean things out if the drive fills up | 01:01 |
| p1oooop | oh yeah, forgot about that | 01:02 |
| drew212 | ActionParsnip: working on it, ill be back when it does/doesnt work | 01:02 |
| p1oooop | ... | 01:02 |
| p1oooop | LOL | 01:02 |
| sjm | vock, you can check on space by (in a terminal window): du -ba | sort -n | 01:02 |
| vock | ploooop: I did | 01:02 |
| sjm | vock, that should tell you what is taking up the space. | 01:02 |
| vock | maco: it's saying that 14 GB is being used though, when going to the home folder in nautilus is only showing 300 MB | 01:02 |
| p1oooop | vock: hmm... did you use the disk tool that comes with ubuntu? | 01:03 |
| vock | sjm, i'll check that out now, didn't know those commands | 01:03 |
| drew212 | ActionParsnip: should i use the B43 which is free, or the STA which is proprietary? | 01:03 |
| maco | vock: are you including the dot files? | 01:03 |
| p1oooop | it does that with hidden folders | 01:03 |
| maco | vock: i know my .kde is 1.8GB | 01:03 |
| sjm | vock, do you have nautilus set to show the hidden files? | 01:03 |
| ActionParsnip | drew212: no idea, try one, if it works great, if not then use t'otherun | 01:03 |
| vock | sjm, wouldn't that still show up in used space? I'll double check | 01:03 |
| vock | I just lost another 500 MB some how | 01:04 |
| sjm | vock: du will show you all files and folders and the space they use. | 01:04 |
| ActionParsnip | vock: how big is the partition? | 01:04 |
| sjm | vock, turn on the hidden files option in nautilus to see ALL the files. | 01:04 |
| GArReT | OK guys I did the lsUSB like you asked and it showed my Termenal in there... btw, i have to connect via PPPoE... this is what i'm getting from that lsUSB list ::: Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0482:0204 Kyocera Corp. iBurst Terminal | 01:04 |
| vock | ActionParsnip, 15 GB | 01:04 |
| GArReT | Does that mean it's installed or not? | 01:05 |
| vock | sjm, did that it's still showing only 300 MB | 01:05 |
| ActionParsnip | vock: so you have a 15Gb partition with 500Mb used? | 01:05 |
| sjm | vock, did which? | 01:05 |
| vock | ActionParsnip, 15 GB partition, df -h is saying it's 98% used, but in nautilus it's only showing me 500 MB | 01:05 |
| ActionParsnip | vock: sounds like the journal to me, is it using a jounalised file system | 01:06 |
| vock | sjm, i just did it in nautilus, i'm checking du now | 01:06 |
| sjm | vock, you can limit the depth of the tree du searches like this: du -ba --max-depth=1 | sort -n | 01:07 |
| ActionParsnip | vock: du -hs /* | sort -nr | head -n 20 should help | 01:07 |
| GArReT | uhm... any suggestion or help? | 01:07 |
| vock | du shows sizes in bytes? | 01:08 |
| ActionParsnip | vock: yes, du -h shows it human readable | 01:08 |
| sjm | vock it depends, du -b does | 01:09 |
| ActionParsnip | vock: the command I gave should give clues :) | 01:09 |
| sjm | vock, -ba says, show in bytes and all files (not just directories). | 01:09 |
| vock | sjm, ActionParsnip, ah, thanks guys, I found it | 01:10 |

| KungFuBear | Hi folks. I really need some help. I just bought a new ASUS desktop pc and I'm trying to put Ubuntu on it. After having installed it once, then updating to 10.04, I no longer can access a graphical verison, (right now I'm in the F1 terminal). I can't even boot a linux cd. It gets half-way through the boot of the cd and then everything just freezes and I have to hard-reboot my computer. | 01:15 |

| KungFuBear | p1oooop: Maybe it would be better if you asked me a question and I answer it | 01:16 |
| sjm | navetz, depends how you want to do it. If they are both on the same local network, you could just use nfs. | 01:16 |
| p1oooop | KungFuBear: that shouldn't happen to your computer... perhaps your boot CD is messed up? | 01:16 |
| canthus13 | KungFuBear: Bad burn of the CD, maybe? | 01:16 |
| p1oooop | KungFuBear: try sudo gdm start | 01:16 |

| KungFuBear | I forget who led me to the link about the blank startup screen in 10.04, but I have some questions about the directions the website gave | 02:00 |
| KungFuBear | First off, I was instructed to press F6 at the main menu of the install CD and enter in: i915.modeset=1. I got to the F6 menu, but I have no idea how I declare the i915.modeset=1 part | 02:01 |
| Stmeter | Can someone tell me what this means while I try to ssh to my machine? Bad packet length 962001235. | 02:01 |
| Stmeter | Disconnecting: Packet corrupt | 02:01 |
| Jordan_U | KungFuBear: Press escape to get out the menu that comes up, and there should be a line containing kernel parameters. Type "i915.modeset=1" and it should appear at the end of that line. | 02:03 |
| KungFuBear | Jordan_U: ahah, ok thank you. | 02:04 |
| KungFuBear | Jordan_U: does it matter where in teh kernel parameters I put that? | 02:04 |
| AAA | alex87 I don't think diff has that option. you can do something like this though :: $ diff -y foo bar | grep '>' | 02:04 |
| Jordan_U | KungFuBear: You're welcome. Not that you'll need to change it again on your first boot after installing by holding shift during boot and pressing "e" to edit the menu entry. | 02:04 |
| Jordan_U | *note | 02:05 |
| alex87 | AAA, thanks, i think i have it working with sed | 02:05 |
| KungFuBear | Jordan_U: yeah, I did notice the edit part, but what does holding SHIFT during boot do? | 02:05 |
| KungFuBear | Jordan_U: and that was also my next question. I tried navigating to /etc/default/grub but that file doesn't exist | 02:06 |
| Jordan_U | KungFuBear: Holding shift at boot brings up the menu, otherwise you'll just boot with the default options. | 02:06 |

| iflema | andrew| where you point your browser is the biggest concern ;) | 02:41 |
| thune3 | andrew|: make sure "sudo ufw status" shows firewall is enabled. Keep your updates current with update-manager or synaptic package manager. Don't run stuff you know is going to be squirrely. That's really about all there is. | 02:41 |
| andrew| | iflema, I getcha | 02:41 |
| [[thufir]] | On my router I enabled port forwarding for ports 3000-3001 TCP/UDP to the IP address of the linux box. However, those ports don't show up when nmap runs a scan on the router. How do I know that they're really open? | 02:41 |

| LorgonJortle | moes: No deal. | 02:44 |
| andrew| | thune3, thank you | 02:44 |

| Roasted | Daekdroom, do you use the open source driver? | 03:17 |
| Daekdroom | Roasted, yes | 03:17 |
| rystraum | fxfitz: But then again, that would execute the process as root. | 03:17 |
| tenochslb | could a getpwuid_r(): failed due to bla bla cause problems loading lubuntu? | 03:17 |

| Roasted | Daekdroom, how can I obtain it? Ive never used an OS driver | 03:17 |
| Roasted | Daekdroom, well, it "works" I suppose | 03:17 |
| fxfitz | rystraum: And vncserver needs to be started as the user, right? | 03:17 |
| Roasted | Daekdroom, how can I tell if its in use? | 03:17 |
| jimi_ | coz_, how can i tell? | 03:17 |
| fxfitz | fxfitz: Could I write a script that did like 'su fxfitz; vncserver'?? | 03:17 |
| IdleOne | tenochslb: probably, ask in #lubuntu | 03:17 |
| Daekdroom | Roasted, lsmod | grep radeon should return a few lines if it's in use | 03:17 |
| coz_ | jimi_, lsb_release -a in terminal | 03:17 |
| fxfitz | rystraum: Could I write a script that did like 'su fxfitz; vncserver'?? | 03:17 |
| jimi_ | coz_, i switched about 4-5 months ago from fedora, this new naming convention for distro versions is weird. | 03:18 |
| Daekdroom | Roasted, well, we better move the entire thing to #radeon o.o | 03:18 |

| tenochslb | IdleOne, thanks i will try, i being trying to get help since yesterday on that channel but they must be really busy. | 03:19 |
| jimi_ | coz_, karmic | 03:19 |
| rystraum | fxfitz: That could work I think. I'm checking up on if vncserver really needs to be run by the user. | 03:19 |
| Daekdroom | Roasted, so I don't have to read the same conversation twice. I'm there. | 03:19 |
| Sam_Fisher | When i search from Nautilus it looks outside of the folder I am in. How do I make it just look inside the folder I am in? | 03:19 |
| Roasted | ahh. lol | 03:19 |
| rystraum | fxfitz: I have vncserver installed on my desktop too so I'm trying to find out. | 03:20 |
| coz_ | jimi_, ok then download the package for karmic 4th one down on the list click the number 17432 http://stinker.serveftp.net:8000/gtkgnutella/gtkgnutella.html | 03:20 |
| LorgonJortle | Still not working... :-( | 03:20 |
| coz_ | jimi_, or the 64 bit also numbered 17432 | 03:20 |
| laura_ | #lavida | 03:20 |
| rystraum | fxfitz: Where did you get the impression that vncserver should be run as user? Any documentation / link? | 03:20 |
| jimi_ | coz_, thanks.... i will do that now.. how does ubuntu come up w/ the naming conventions? | 03:20 |
| === Srpski is now known as Dannyboy | ||
| LorgonJortle | I tried installing it and booting from it using nomodeset in lieu of quiet splash, but it still just goes black. | 03:21 |
| fxfitz | rystraum: Well, all of the server information is stored in ~/.vnc/ so I figured it was user-specific. | 03:21 |
| coz_ | jimi_, you mean like 9.04? or 10.04 ? | 03:21 |
| jimi_ | coz_, like karmic / iggy / etc | 03:21 |
| coz_ | jimi_, oh!! those are chosen by mark shuttleworth and they are following the alphabet | 03:22 |

| vu1kan | MaRk-I: thx, but i don't wanna put ya out, my google-fu's pretty good these days | 03:52 |
| Compiling | mom: DNS cache perhaps | 03:53 |
| MaRk-I | vu1kan: ok np | 03:53 |
| Roasted | rystraum, I use ubuntu because it works. Its frustrating when things dont work, especially with reliable brands with intel, etc. | 03:53 |
| mom | Compiling, ahhhh ok | 03:53 |
| Roasted | rystraum, writing my own driver shouldnt be the almighty answer... | 03:53 |
| mom | Compiling, is there like a bash command for resetting instead of rebooting? | 03:53 |

| fxfitz | aristo: Would it be the broadcast option? | 04:18 |

| _SKiTZO | nimbiotics: cd / && find | grep -i "mysql.sock" | 04:19 |

| _SKiTZO | wanwan which cd is it | 04:30 |
| aristo | fxfitz, did you set default gateway? | 04:30 |
| iflema | Wanwan check ya bios and make sure its set to try cdroms first. Also there is an alternate cd with more options,drivers and what not | 04:30 |
| aristo | or you dns? | 04:30 |
| iceroot | fxfitz: then check the output of "route" | 04:30 |
| Wanwan | I burned a win7 ISO onto a DVD via ubuntu | 04:30 |
| fxfitz | aristo: No? | 04:31 |
| spasysheep | wanwan: there is a way to boot from a floppy and then pass the system on to a cd, but last time i had to do that was years ago | 04:31 |
| aristo | well you need to set default gw with route | 04:31 |
| iceroot | Wanwan: enable cd boot in the bios | 04:31 |
| Wanwan | iflema: specified CD boot, and it spits me to the OS selection screen, but they're all Ubuntu | 04:31 |
| fxfitz | aristo: How so? | 04:31 |
| aristo | and your isp dns at resolv.conf | 04:31 |

| iceroot | fxfitz: route add default gw 192.168.2.1 (if that is your gateway) | 04:32 |
| spasysheep | wanwan: exactly | 04:32 |
| abadabad00 | Need help getting my Soundblaster Audigy 4 to use 7.1 speakers. I'm in Ubuntu 10.04 64bit. | 04:32 |

| spasysheep | how do I add another kernel from a completely different distro to the ubuntu GRUB2 menu? | 04:33 |
| fxfitz | iceroot: I basically want my ubuntu box to always start on 192.168.1.2. | 04:33 |
| iceroot | fxfitz: ad route is showing that? | 04:33 |
| fxfitz | iceroot: Yes. | 04:33 |
| iceroot | fxfitz: as static ip? you want 192.168.1.2? | 04:33 |
| iflema | Wanwan make sure the cd is as it should be.... no little extras or things missing | 04:33 |
| fxfitz | iceroot: Yes. | 04:33 |
| iceroot | fxfitz: sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces | 04:33 |
| Wanwan | iflema: yeah, Ubuntu keeps spitting out the DVDs I keep burning, saying there's an error. | 04:33 |
| _SKiTZO | spasysheep: i would ask around in grub channel. i used to grok grub until grub2 came out, and now im totally clueless. the made a fuzzy ball of scripts and glue that not even I can penetrate | 04:33 |
| * fxfitz changes 'vi' to 'emacs' :-P | 04:33 | |

| Wanwan | aristo: yeah, i'm starting to think that too, but I used it just fine when I installed Win7 with VirtualBox in Ubuntu | 04:34 |
| fxfitz | iceroot: So whats the format of the interfaces file? :( iface eth0 ... ? | 04:34 |
| aristo | mrklean, you need to browse to the folder where you have mounted that disk partition | 04:35 |
| abadabad00 | Need help getting my Soundblaster Audigy 4 to use 7.1 speakers. I'm in Ubuntu 10.04 64bit. | 04:35 |
| iceroot | fxfitz: have a look at man interfaces, there are examples | 04:35 |
| aristo | then, inside that folder, go to boot/grub/menu.lst | 04:36 |
| fxfitz | iceroot: Yeah, just found it. ;-) | 04:36 |
| iceroot | fxfitz: if i am correct you have to call /etc/init.d/networking restart after | 04:36 |
| aristo | then you can use ifup a ifdown fxfitz | 04:36 |
| mrklean | aristo, oh I forgot to include that, yeah I am cd'ing into /media/disk-2/boot/grub | 04:36 |
| fxfitz | aristo: Got it. | 04:36 |

| puff | _SKiTZO: The second time, I held down the "Access IBM" key on my thinkpad, which is the BIOS key. BIOS/startup/boot seems to be in the proper order, the hard drive is seven or eighth, 1) USB drive, 2) floppy drive, 3) CD. | 04:49 |

| _SKiTZO | ANowlin: the reason it doesnt always work is probably because the cd drive spends more time "settling" than the timeout for the boot manager in the bios wants to wait | 04:55 |
| fxfitz | aristo: Sooo it didn't work. | 04:55 |
| ANowlin | _SKiTZO: Huh? | 04:55 |
| fxfitz | aristo: Did you say I needed to edit the resolv.conf file? | 04:55 |
| ANowlin | I switched chanels for a sec | 04:55 |
| aristo | fxfitz, yes you need to add nameserver XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX | 04:56 |
| aristo | replace XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX with you isp dns address | 04:56 |
| _SKiTZO | ANowlin: nm. i was talking about why booting from cd doesnt always work | 04:56 |
| fxfitz | aristo: But my ISP's DNS servers are already in there. :( | 04:56 |
| ANowlin | _SKiTZO: Its alright. | 04:57 |
| aristo | hmm | 04:57 |
| aristo | can you ping your gw? | 04:57 |
| techzg | on ubuntu 9.10, on every boot I have to disable bluetooth and re-enable wireless network to get connected to internet. Is there a way to fix this please? | 04:58 |
| lfitz | hi i posted this info on a website to allow easier reference to solve the problem. NFS says /path does not support NFS export when I start the service. http://lfitz.bravehost.com/nfs-error.html | 04:59 |
| fxfitz | aristo: Hang on, I'm actually on irssi from the server I'm trying to change. :-P | 04:59 |
| fxfitz | (bad setup right now, I know hehe) | 04:59 |
| Chaorain | how long is 10.04 supported? | 04:59 |
| _SKiTZO | i think since its lts its 3 years | 05:00 |
| xangua | Chaorain: 3 years desktop 5 server | 05:00 |
| Chaorain | lol, 3 years will work | 05:00 |
| Chaorain | time for a new comp by then | 05:00 |
| Chaorain | considering its probably 3 years old already | 05:01 |
| techzg | on ubuntu 10.04, on every boot I have to disable bluetooth and re-enable wireless network to get connected to internet. Is there a way to fix this please? | 05:01 |
| puff | _SKiTZO: Bleah... okay, that didn't work. | 05:01 |
| _SKiTZO | puff: what happened? | 05:01 |
| puff | _SKiTZO: I just tried completely excuding the HDD from the boot order, it still booted off the HDD. | 05:01 |
| _SKiTZO | heh that was odd | 05:01 |
| aristo | techzg, i think you can auto enable wireless by right click on it and edit settings | 05:02 |
| _SKiTZO | puff: how about using that blue access button again? | 05:02 |
| puff | _SKiTZO: I noticed a bit in the BIOS about enabling the F12 key to pop up a boot selection menu, so I tried that. f12, got the list of devices, selected CD, nope, still booted off the HD. | 05:02 |
| puff | _SKiTZO: The blue butto bascially just gets me into the BIOS menu. | 05:02 |
| aristo | and bluetooth go to Sistem -> preferences -> startup programs (or something like that) | 05:02 |
| puff | _SKiTZO: Well, it pops up a menu with "ESC to continue, F1 to get into BIOS, F2 to select startup device". | 05:03 |
| techzg | aristo, the wireless networks get discovered when i disable bluetooth | 05:03 |
| aristo | i have my desktop on spanish so i don't know how is exactly in english | 05:03 |
| fxfitz_ | aristo: Well, I was able to get it working with ifconfig!! | 05:03 |
| puff | I'm suspecting I may have to download and burn the alternate install CD. | 05:03 |
| _SKiTZO | puff: is the CD itself put into the slot properly? atleast my w700 and x60 tablet hase removable cdroms | 05:03 |
| aristo | fxfitz_ congrats | 05:03 |
| fxfitz_ | aristo: The problem before was that the default gateway was deleted. :( | 05:03 |
| Motilon | Hi, im geting error: unknown filesystem. grub rescue> what can I do??? | 05:03 |
| puff | _SKiTZO: Seems to be in the slot okay, rotates freely. | 05:03 |
| puff | _SKiTZO: Well heck. | 05:03 |
| fxfitz_ | aristo: Yeah. But I can't seem to get my interfaces file to work correctly. And /etc/init.d/networking restart doesn't seem to work. :( | 05:04 |
| _SKiTZO | puff: i ment the cdrom drives.. not the platters | 05:04 |
| fxfitz_ | aristo: So I've been restarting the computer every time I had to test (a pain) | 05:04 |
| puff | _SKiTZO: I just opened and closed the CD, and it popped up the "You have just inserted a blank CD". Which is weird, since it actually did boot the once. | 05:04 |
| puff | _SKiTZO: The drive should be fine. I burned the CD with this drive. | 05:04 |
| puff | Sihg. | 05:04 |
| aristo | fxfitx, there is a way to configure it for ifup | 05:05 |
| _SKiTZO | puff: sure you did not at one point remove the cd and put in anoter one by mistake? :P | 05:05 |
| aristo | so when interface is linked up it will reconfigure | 05:05 |
| fxfitz_ | aristo: Hmmm | 05:05 |
| _SKiTZO | puff: does it manage to boot of other cds? | 05:05 |
| aristo | but can't remember exactly which file you need to edit | 05:06 |
| puff | _SKiTZO: Dunno, this is the only one I have. | 05:06 |
| aristo | but you can always google it | 05:06 |
| puff | _SKiTZO: The only live CD I have. | 05:06 |
| aristo | ^^ | 05:06 |

| alec_ | is flash 10.1 working with 64 bit ubuntu | 05:16 |
| red2kic | techzg: "nm-applet --sm-disable" | 05:16 |
| kunji | alec_: I use Pidgin as my IRC client and it displays the number of people and all their usernames on the right hand side, so it depends on what client you're using, though I think there is also a way to request it from the server via the IRC protocal, though I'm not sure what that would be. | 05:16 |
| _SKiTZO | alec_: depends on your irc client. most list all the people on the right. | 05:16 |
| techzg | red, nm-applet --sm-disable is correct? | 05:17 |
| alec_ | thanks i just installed irssi and was curious | 05:17 |

| Roky | set it up* | 06:06 |
| Roasted_ | Roky, well, yes - but I'm not entirely doing this alone. the network admin knows more about mysql than me, but hes less experienced in linux than I am, so were both kind of tag teaming it. | 06:07 |
| bullgard | aravind__: Yes. Your two messages combined make it a bit clearer what might be the cause. But it is still not enough information to help you out. Because "server not found" may be caused by many things. | 06:07 |
| Roasted_ | Roky, we had a microsoft radius server set up, but theres an open bug MS has yet to fix which effects us greatly, so we need to find alternatives - and freeradius sounds to be a good one since uses said the MS bug doesn texist in freeradius | 06:07 |
| Roky | Roasted_: Right on, glad to see some teamwork. First off make sure you have mysql-server mysql-client setup. | 06:07 |
| Roasted_ | Roky, okay, so just install mysql straigh from the repos | 06:08 |
| Roky | users? | 06:08 |
| ringer2 | anybody know of a good gui for maintaing the defalt ufw firewall application | 06:08 |
| Roky | Roasted_: yep | 06:08 |
| Roasted_ | Roky, do I need any users besides, say, administrator? | 06:08 |
| kiamo | Hi, what port does samba use? | 06:08 |
| Roasted_ | Roky, we will be authenticating roughly (to throw out a padded number) 1,500 laptops. | 06:08 |
| CalicoJack | Does anyone know if i update the linux kernel through the ubuntu update manager, will it kill a custom wifi driver that I installed from source? | 06:08 |
| Flomaster | hello I am looking for some help installing an audio driver for my Zotac Ionitx-g-e synergy motherboard I have the instructions but they aren't very detailed | 06:09 |
| Roky | Roasted_: Okay, you shouldn't need too. | 06:09 |
| maco | CalicoJack: yes, youll need to recompile the driver | 06:09 |
| wrinkliez | is there a way to tell what packages are inside a virtual package? | 06:09 |
| Sam_Fisher | CalicoJack, I don't think so. But back it up anyway | 06:09 |
| Flomaster | here is my pastebin http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/2pVGDmW0 | 06:09 |
| Roky | Roasted_: thats a nice little number. Where you guys work? heh | 06:09 |
| Roasted_ | Roky, school district. | 06:09 |
| CalicoJack | maco Sam_Fisher, i'm getting two different answers here >.< | 06:09 |
| Roky | Roasted_: I see the need for urgency. heh | 06:09 |
| Roasted_ | Roky, were hoping to use this 1 server for all 7 schools. | 06:09 |
| aravind__ | bullgard: well...i cannot successfully connect to websites,google works fine(it maybe because its ip is cached),and certain others like facebook too work good | 06:09 |
| Roasted_ | Roky, well we were using standard WPA2 security | 06:10 |
| CalicoJack | maco I think you are right, though. Thank you for your help. | 06:10 |
| Roasted_ | Roky, but high school students tend to get slick with the tools they find on the internet - couple that with usb flash drives and bingo bango - they can dig up the key without too much effort. | 06:10 |
| aravind__ | bullgard: i just cant connect to other websites,i'm guessing its a dns issue? | 06:10 |
| Roasted_ | Roky, so were hoping to take the key out of the equation with hardware authentication (this is where the network admin comes in and I tend to step back) | 06:10 |
| BinaryMan | Roasted_: Try WPA + RADIUS? | 06:10 |
| Roasted_ | Roky, I'm just involved cause of my huge linux interest :P | 06:10 |
| drew212 | how do i make a folder not need root privelages? | 06:11 |
| BinaryMan | Roasted_: I'm 21 and in college. I used to be one of those high school students you're thinking of. :) | 06:11 |
| drew212 | i know its chown, but i forget how to make it work | 06:11 |
| Roky | Roasted_ : well the radius server will support 128bit WEP rekeying every N seconds...sooo doubt your kiddies are that smart. lol | 06:11 |
| Roasted_ | BinaryMan, I honestly cant tell you if we had or not. Weve done a lot of different things, but all of the radius options have had the same problem - after 30 days, they dont reauthenticate and need to be plugged in to re-authenticate properly. This is a known bug with MS Radius - which is why we dumped it in hopes of using freeradius (something users say works better anyway) | 06:11 |
| bullgard | aravind__: I also believe that this is a DNS issue | 06:11 |
| Roasted_ | BinaryMan, I hear ya - Im 24 years old and been @ this place of work for just over 2 years now. I was one of those little punks too :P | 06:11 |
| kiamo | How do I see what IP my laptop is using on the wireless? is it eth0? Or should I look somewhere else? | 06:12 |
| Roasted_ | BinaryMan, it gives me an advantage, in my opinion. My relatively young age in the field working in a high school is a unique combo since I tend to be quicker to pick up on potential security holes than others since it wasnt long ago I was in those shoes. | 06:12 |
| pehden | chanmode "+mnsdt-k" does this mean invite only | 06:12 |
| Roasted_ | kiamo, right lcick network manager - connection information, OR in terminal run ifconfig | 06:12 |
| Roasted_ | Roky, hahaha yeah, good point. | 06:13 |
| BinaryMan | Roasted_: I know exactly what you're talking about. | 06:13 |
| Roasted_ | Roky, anyway, I take it youve set up freeradius before? Or are you just familiar with it? | 06:13 |
| MaRk-I | kiamo: ifconfig | 06:13 |
| BinaryMan | I was playing with Linux before I was a sophomore. | 06:13 |
| kiamo | Roasted, ifconfig only displays ethX connections | 06:13 |
| Roasted_ | BinaryMan, I almost feel like a jerk though - its like a big brother feeling. Muahaha! Security hole plugged! *sad high schoolers faces* | 06:13 |
| Roky | Roasted_: I should let you guys know that open radius is fairly complex. And not knowing how to configure it properly could lead too disastrous results. | 06:13 |
| kiamo | isnt that just for ethernet, or does the wifi use that as well? | 06:13 |
| BinaryMan | kiamo: No, it doesn't. It'll list all network adapters, even virtual/pseduo ones. | 06:14 |
| Roasted_ | Roky, we're setting this up while letting our current security in place, so if it backfires, we can pull the plug and revert to what we've been using. | 06:14 |
| Roky | Roasted_: I have played with it a few times. Some friends of mine use it and have configured it multiple times. They call me in to "test" it xD | 06:14 |
| Roasted_ | Roky, we're reimaging all laptops this summer, so what'll happen is we'll set up 2 SSID's in the mix with the proper settings. If the freeradius bombs on us, we just disable that SSID and the laptops re-vert accordingly. | 06:14 |
| Roky | I know the basics of the configuration. But after that your kind on your own bro. | 06:15 |
| Roasted_ | Roky, I'm all about backups and plan B/C/D's :P | 06:15 |
| kiamo | BinaryMan, I only see eth0, eth1, and lo. The wifi will be one of those then? | 06:15 |
| freezway | i installed lmms by compiling it (i wanted 0.4.6) but it didn't work correctly. how do i remove it. sudo make uninstall doesn't work | 06:15 |
| Roasted_ | kiamo, mor ethan likely its eth1 | 06:15 |
| Roky | Roasted_: You need to be in a world like this. hehe | 06:15 |
| Roasted_ | Roky, so anyway, I know I need kerberos, samba, and mysql - right? | 06:15 |
| kiamo | ok, thanks :) | 06:15 |
| Roasted_ | along with freeradius of course | 06:15 |
| hotfloppy | hello guys.. Wine menu on my application menu has been disappeared.. ive open menu editor but its missing in there too.. how to make it re-appear on application menu ? | 06:15 |
| Roky | wpasupplicant as well | 06:15 |
| BinaryMan | kiamo: Probably eth1. | 06:15 |
| kiamo | thanks guys :) | 06:16 |
| Roasted_ | Roky, thats not installed by default? | 06:16 |
| BinaryMan | kiamo: iwconfig will tell you which is the wireless adapter. | 06:16 |
| MaRk-I | freezway: are you invoking that comand inside the lmms folder? | 06:16 |
| MaRk-I | command** | 06:16 |
| Roky | Roasted_: It might be, It's been awhile since I have used Ubuntu to be honest. But it's more the program your interested in that Ubuntu. So it's not much differant. | 06:17 |
| Roky | I'm on Arch Linux as of the moment. | 06:17 |
| Roasted_ | Roky, I have minimal PHPMyAdmin experience from using Wordpress - can I use PHPMyAdmin to add my administrator MySQL user, etc? | 06:17 |
| freezway | MaRk-I, yes | 06:17 |
| Roasted_ | Roky, yeah, I know - were just using Ubuntu since its my happy place :P | 06:18 |

| freezway | i installed lmms by compiling it (i wanted 0.4.6) but it didn't work correctly. how do i remove it. sudo make uninstall doesn't work | 06:24 |
| prince_jammys | freezway: hopefully you installed it in /usr/local, and can track down its files and remove them | 06:25 |
| prince_jammys | or /opt, maybe. | 06:25 |
| Ant_c | Hi everyone. I was just wondering if anyone could help with a problem I'm having trying to connect to the internet on ubuntu. Because of where I am I have to use https://prepay.snap.net.nz/ | 06:25 |
| Ant_c | They don't have instructions for linux and their support team were unhelpful when I emailed them. | 06:25 |

| freezway | ok got it... | 06:26 |
| freezway | but now when i type lmms into the terminal i get bash: /usr/local/bin/lmms: No such file or directory | 06:26 |
| freezway | brb | 06:26 |
| prince_jammys | freezway: open a new terminal, or type ''hash -r'' | 06:27 |
| prince_jammys | freezway: the latter will make bash 'forget' its hashed location, and look it up again. | 06:27 |

| mouser-- | I'm trying to use Linux (or anything else) to copy a hard drive from a DOS laptop to another computer. I have a parallel cable with Laplink 5 running on it and WinXP Pro/Ubuntu on the other computer. Is there a Linux program or method that is compatable with Laplink's protocol? | 07:44 |
| bullgard | quiritius: I would look up Launchpad for this error. | 07:44 |
| abhi_nav | how to share clipboard between this desktop session and ctrl + alt + f1 session? | 07:44 |
| asfjio | Flannel: i found this package emacs21-nox. is it right? if yes, what will happen with this JOVE that i see when i type emacs? i mean should i remove it or it will be replaced with the new one? because the binary should be with the same name - "emacs". | 07:46 |
| mouser-- | I have tried using WinXP's Direct Cable Connection but haven't had much luck. I'm hoping the Ubuntu/Linux community has another solution (as they usually do). | 07:46 |
| Flannel | asfjio: emacs21 if you want that version, there's also emacs22-nox and, depending on your Ubuntu version, may be emacs23-nox as well | 07:47 |
| ranjan | Hi all. | 07:49 |
| bullgard | abhinav_singh: I guess you'll need to install 'screen'. | 07:49 |
| asfjio | Flannel: understand. what will happen with the old one that i have this JOVE interpretation of emacs or whatever it is? i mean because i have this /usr/bin/emacs but when i run it it says JOVE ...? | 07:50 |
| bilalakhtar | Is the ubuntu keyserver down? | 07:50 |
| Flannel | asfjio: It'll be configurable, if you want to get rid of that other version, uninstall it. what will happen is the /usr/bin/emacs file will symlink to the other one (/usr/bin/emacs21-nox, for instance) | 07:51 |
| ranjan | is there any way by which we can restrict file copying from our machine? | 07:52 |

| jimlovell777 | cpf, kruzztee: Thanks. I just had bad memories from when I tried with Vista and had to try some weird windows tool that always seemed to mess everything up and make me start over. | 08:00 |
| Achr | I've tried over 10 pages worth of suggestions. All from fwcutter and just taking the .sys file. Done ndiswrapper by blacklisting bcm43xx and followed those steps too. | 08:00 |

| britta | Jordan_U, I'm not sure how to do that. | 08:16 |
| kruzztee | just select the older kernel on grub2 screen | 08:16 |
| Jordan_U | britta: Hold shift during boot and you will get a menu allowing to to select older kernels. | 08:16 |

| Sickler | i figured bc its based widely off ubuntu its not an issue red2kic | 08:24 |

| ubottu | To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. | 08:44 |
| R3cur51v3 | maelstorm, depends on if the .sh file was written to allow uninstall. .sh files are just generic shell programs that can do anything they want | 08:44 |
| Jordan_U | maelstorm: It depends on how the script was written, which is one of the reasons that it's recommended to only install .deb packages. | 08:44 |
| R3cur51v3 | maelstorm, use .deb files to install stuff | 08:44 |
| R3cur51v3 | ^^ | 08:44 |
| maelstorm | R3cur51v3, i want to uninstall | 08:44 |
| R3cur51v3 | Does the server version of Ubuntu have ridiculously outdated packages? | 08:44 |
| Jordan_U | maelstorm: What did you install? | 08:44 |

| Mikey^ | check where you installed | 08:45 |
| maelstorm | MikeH, nice, didnt think of that. There is one ^_^ Thanks | 08:46 |

| Jonty | right now all I get is "job failed to start" with no indication of what happened, which is much less than i got with /etc/init.d scripts | 09:24 |
| kruzztee | Not a problem Achr | 09:25 |
| Achr | Stupid question... does the server and desktop differ in the network area? | 09:26 |
| nibbler_ | Achr, server wont have the gui components (network manager) | 09:27 |
| Sam_Fisher | vodl, you should have this menu with flash objects. | 09:27 |
| sint | i've tried to remove a package and install it again but i won't install a new config file in etc. what i need to do to get the default config file into etc? | 09:28 |
| Achr | Okay. So they pretty much contain the same protocol files though. | 09:28 |
| Sam_Fisher | vodl, hang on for graphic | 09:28 |
| sint | if i delete the config file, it won't start or stop the daemon it all, since it asks for the missing config file | 09:28 |
| maelstorm | red2kic, the Ubuntu manual is very entry level. im interested in command manipulation, closer to system administration | 09:29 |
| AdvoWork | Hi there, im using epiphany for something(email). when i click print, it opens the new window showing the contents to print, it only does this first time, second time i try and print, it doesnt. all other pcs are ok with this, its just the one. Any ideas please? | 09:30 |
| Achr | kruzztee: Which way do you think I should try first? | 09:31 |
| kruzztee | try to use my guide first... | 09:31 |
| Achr | Okay. | 09:31 |
| kruzztee | coz it wont mess around using ndiswrapper and blacklist | 09:32 |
| Guest85235 | hi peoples i have some trouble with evolution | 09:32 |
| Kevin` | how can I prevent the ubuntu gui from starting on boot? | 09:33 |
| bullgard | man dpkg: "dpkg maintains some usable information about available packages. triggers-awaited: The package awaits trigger processing by another package." What is meant by "trigger processing"? | 09:33 |
| bullgard | !ask | Guest85235 | 09:34 |
| ubottu | Guest85235: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 09:34 |
| red2kic | bullgard: Ask in #ubuntu-offtopic (They're helpful). | 09:34 |
| Jordan_U | bullgard: Do you understand what triggers are? | 09:35 |
| JonathanEllis | red2kic: Why is bullgard's question off-topic? | 09:35 |
| walaky | hi | 09:36 |
| red2kic | JonathanEllis: I never never said that. He tried his luck here and it wouldn't hurt to expand his luckiness. | 09:36 |
| bullgard | Jordan_U: No. Note: The subject is dpkg. | 09:37 |
| JonathanEllis | red2kic: Fair enough | 09:38 |
| Jordan_U | bullgard: A trigger is a way to keep from doing the same task over and over when installing multiple packages, when it only needs to be done once. | 09:38 |
| Altreus | My DNS seems to be cached. If I use dig to make the DNS request I get the correct answer back from the correct nameserver, but if I use curl or a browser it says cannot resolve host | 09:39 |
| Altreus | Any idea what could be doing this? It's a fairly clean install of 10.04 | 09:39 |
| Jordan_U | bullgard: For instance, if you are installing 5 packages that need "update-initramfs" to be run before they will work, those packages can use a trigger so that instead of running update-initramfs directly in their postinst scripts, they register a trigger and update-initramfs is run when all five packages are otherwise completely configured. | 09:40 |
| bullgard | Jordan_U: Your answer is wrong. This morning Update manager repeatedly displayed a »post-installation trigger« message. | 09:40 |
| Altreus | Also, the site works for others. | 09:40 |
| Achr | Here goes the reboot... | 09:41 |
| administrator | aaa | 09:41 |
| Jordan_U | bullgard: Can you give the full context of the message? | 09:41 |
| administrator | 123456 | 09:41 |
| === administrator is now known as Guest82272 | ||
| bullgard | Jordan_U: I can not because the message is past away (fade away). | 09:42 |
| Jordan_U | bullgard: Are you actually having any problem? | 09:42 |
| Achr | kruzztee: Nope. Followed what you had on your site. Going to try the compiling suggestion. | 09:42 |
| kruzztee | okay... good luck | 09:43 |
| bullgard | Jordan_U: Yes. A problem of understanding the role and the mechanism and the function of »post installation trigger«. | 09:43 |
| Jordan_U | bullgard: Why do you think that my answer is wrong? | 09:43 |
| xro | HI, i have a problem with ubuntu and openvpn... i worked yesterday and today when i connect to the vpn i dont get a tun0 interface... can you help me? error message ---> NOTE: unable to redirect default gateway -- VPN gateway parameter (--route-gateway or --ifconfig) is missing | 09:44 |

| ThatGuyOverThere | Can anybody help me with changing the login screen for Lucid? I don | 09:44 |
| bullgard | Jordan_U: Because you said: "A trigger is a way to keep from doing the same task over and over." | 09:44 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | Oops. That's the enter button. | 09:44 |
| Jordan_U | bullgard: And? | 09:45 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | I don't like how it uses GTK themes on the login screen... I want to use GDM themes. Is there any way to do this? | 09:45 |
| bullgard | Jordan_U: Update Manager has done a trigger operation over and over again this morning. | 09:45 |
| pehden | um what do i do if for some reason my term cant resolve domain.net but can resolve www.domain.net | 09:46 |
| === sree is now known as sreR | ||
| abhi_nav | ThatGuyOverThere, install this. it allows to change login screen on lucid | 09:46 |
| abhi_nav | ThatGuyOverThere, https://launchpad.net/gdm2setup | 09:46 |
| bullgard | pehden: Check your DNS (resoution). | 09:47 |
| pehden | bullgard in what do i use or go to do that | 09:47 |
| abhi_nav | ThatGuyOverThere, also you install art manger take login screens from there. also ubuntu tweak is useful | 09:47 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | Art manager? | 09:48 |
| JonathanEllis | I am trying to upgrade my kernel with kernelcheck. It fails because of unmet dependencies. "Unable to find the QT3 installation. Please make sure that the QT3 development package is correctly installed and either install pkg-config or set the QTDIR environment variable to the correct location." There is more but unfortunately KernelCheck does not allow me to copy it's terminal output or even scroll it. I would appreciate help, please. | 09:48 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | I've heard of ubuntu tweak, but not the other. | 09:48 |
| abhi_nav | ThatGuyOverThere, yes have both ubuntu tweak and art manager | 09:48 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | How do I get art manager? Is it in the repos? | 09:49 |
| Jordan_U | bullgard: In the "details" area? | 09:49 |
| abhi_nav | ThatGuyOverThere, yes it is install art manager, ubuntu tweak and that gdm2setup | 09:50 |
| scarra3 | I wan't to install vim in ubuntu so should I do sudo apt-get install vim vim-scripts or just sudo apt-get install vim | 09:50 |

| ubottu | ThatGuyOverThere, please see my private message | 09:50 |
| indus | whats ubuntu tweak | 09:50 |
| Achr | Bleh... still nothing. Ugh. This is way too aggrivating. | 09:50 |
| abhi_nav | indus, which? | 09:50 |
| indus | ThatGuyOverThere, just download from gnome-look.org | 09:50 |

| ThatGuyOverThere | indus: I get the impression that you're saying I shouldn't install it. | 09:51 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | indus: I don't want anything downloading all kinds of crap. | 09:51 |
| indus | ThatGuyOverThere, ya i dont like it | 09:51 |
| indus | ThatGuyOverThere, and it crashes a lot | 09:52 |

| whitefire | how to install driver Canon-LASER-SHOT-LBP-1210 in ubuntu 10/04 | 09:54 |

| erUSUL | ThatGuyOverThere: bug in the graphic driver | 09:54 |
| erUSUL | ? | 09:54 |
| indus | ThatGuyOverThere, what graphics card is it | 09:54 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | It's an integrated card. Intel model. | 09:54 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | erUSUL: Is there a fix? | 09:54 |
| alteregoa | druiden | 09:54 |
| alteregoa | ihr seid alles druiden! | 09:55 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | erUSUL: It's not a huge deal, but it is a little annoying. | 09:55 |
| JonathanEllis | ThatGuyOverThere: I had problems on both my ancient Dell machines running any version of Ubuntu later than Hardy. It's because my hardware is too old | 09:55 |
| erUSUL | ThatGuyOverThere: you can try with newer drivers, i.e. adding the xorg-updates ppa | 09:55 |
| xev | what is ubuntu one? | 09:55 |
| erUSUL | !ubuntuone | 09:55 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu One is a service where you can back up, store, sync and share your data with other Ubuntu One users - For more see https://one.ubuntu.com/ support and help available at #ubuntuone | 09:55 |
| bullgard | Jordan_U: I did not expand the "details" field. The messages appeared in the normal (main) window area. | 09:55 |
| JonathanEllis | ThatGuyOverThere: I also have an integrated intel graphics adapter. However, I also had problems with my matrox card so I am just sticking with Hardy | 09:55 |
| Zelozelos | whats the command to see what my core temp is? | 09:56 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | JonathanEllis: That's rough, man. Lucid actually fixed a lot of my hardware problems I had had with Karmic. No way am I going back. :) | 09:56 |
| erUSUL | !sensors | Zelozelos | 09:56 |
| ubottu | Zelozelos: To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. | 09:56 |
| JonathanEllis | ThatGuyOverThere: Yes it's a pain. I'm now trying to get a USB wifi adapter working and I find I dont have a new enough kernel so now going through all sorts of hassles trying to upgrade my kernel | 09:57 |
| Jordan_U | bullgard: I don't normally use update-manager so I don't know exactly what messages it shows and when, but many packages will be registering post-install hooks, and at the end of most large upgrades all of those triggers will be processed. | 09:57 |
| indus | ubunu tweak looks like automatix born again | 09:58 |
| b3wbs | My install doesn't log in correctly- i have changed the settings in the "Login Screen" settings thingo so that it goes straight to an xterm, but it is automatically logging into Gnome every time I boot up | 09:58 |
| JonathanEllis | ThatGuyOverThere: Im thinking perhaps it will take less time to just drill a hole in the wall and run a cable from the router to my computer but I dont really want to spoil the walls# | 09:58 |
| indus | JonathanEllis, upgrading kernel is super easy , | 09:58 |
| bazhang | indus, from what source | 09:59 |
| indus | JonathanEllis, you can either try the plain vanilla kernel which might not work as intended , or use the ppa | 09:59 |
| JonathanEllis | indus: How? | 09:59 |
| red2kic | JonathanEllis: I drilled a hole in my wall (from living room to my bedroom). 25ft cable was only 4 bucks on eBay. | 09:59 |
| bazhang | indus, did you mean kernel.org ? that is not supported here | 09:59 |
| indus | bazhang, dont worry, i will put appropriate warnings | 09:59 |
| JonathanEllis | red2kic: Yes cable is cheap and I can wire it easily. Thats not the problem. Its a rented flat and I dont want to spoil the walls | 10:00 |
| indus | bazhang, there is a ppa also though for ubuntu | 10:00 |
| bazhang | indus, not supported as in don't suggest it here | 10:00 |

| erUSUL | Zelozelos: i do not know the formula offhand :) google --> F = C * (9/5 ) + 32 | 10:02 |
| bullgard | EpicCyndaquil: In your current directory. | 10:02 |
| EpicCyndaquil | okay, thanks | 10:02 |

| indus | see above JonathanEllis | 10:04 |
| Jordan_U | bullgard: When plymouth gets upgraded it will probably need update-initramfs to be run, so it will register a post-install trigger for update-initramfs. If you also get a kernel update, that kernel package will also register a post-install trigger for update-initramfs (because it doesn't know that one has already been registered by plymouth). After both packages are otherwise finished installing, that update-initramfs trigger | 10:04 |
| Jordan_U | bullgard: So registering a trigger is asking that some action (in this case update-initramfs) be performed, and processing the trigger is actually performing that action. | 10:05 |
| red2kic | JonathanEllis: Maybe you can ask the man in charge. I don't know. Use cable grommets to make things look nice. :o | 10:06 |
| din_ | du | 10:07 |

| youngmusic | weird problem: after upgrading to 10.04, my network interface is known as wlan1 instead of eth0. I wouldn't mind as such, but when starting the network now, i get a DHCPOFFER from the server that doesnt really work out. | 10:09 |
| JonathanEllis | indus: I know what a PPA is. Which particular PPA do you suggest? I need to upgrade my kernel to at least 2.6.27 to get a usb wifi adapter to work | 10:09 |

| [Neurotic] | Quick question guys - is there a command to work out the name of the current X display that is running? Or even just list the names of the X displays that are available? I'm trying to send firefox to a particular display through 'firefox --display=0', and I can't work out where to send it. | 10:15 |
| JonathanEllis | Jordan_U: Yes. It took ages to get that working (http://forum.tuxx-home.at/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=797&sid=a2008ef8840e4d109e28735551b169dd). Trouble is I was a bit limited for cards as I only have PCI slots, not AGP or PCI Express. Its an old computer | 10:15 |
| eoke | xev: I'm still not sure it'll give you what you want as each package has dependencies which might not be used by anything else so removing the parent package means you remove the dependencies. | 10:16 |
| JonathanEllis | Jordan_U: And I remember reading there was no driver for anything later than Hardy | 10:16 |

| slow-motion | hi | 10:16 |
| Jordan_U | JonathanEllis: VESA should always get you something, but I assume that when you say it's a dual head card you actually want to be able to use dual displays. | 10:16 |

| xev | erUSUL, the program 'dh' is currently not installed. | 10:18 |
| erUSUL | xev: df -h | 10:19 |
| JonathanEllis | Jordan_U: Its starting to look like running a cable through the wall is going to be my quickest way to get working. Its a desktop machine anyway so it makes more sense for it to be a wired connection and there is much less to go wrong. | 10:19 |
| xev | erUSUL, thanks :) | 10:19 |
| JonathanEllis | Jordan_U: I was alternatively thinking about using ndiswrapper and a windows driver but that looks complicated | 10:19 |
| eoke | xev: "dpkg-query -W --showformat='${Installed-Size;10}\t${Package}\n' | sort -k1,1n" however remember that a small package may depend on a very large one so it's not really going to tell you what you need to know. It'll just tell you the size of the package itself rather than the package and all of the dependencies it requires. | 10:19 |

| Jordan_U | JonathanEllis: What happens when you boot from a 10.04 liveCD? | 10:23 |
| nikolam | JonathanEllis, I tried with several versions of google eart. Previously (on 8.04 LTS and 9.10) worked quite right. | 10:23 |
| Heikki123 | hi. i have a problem with wine + ubuntu screensaver. spotify will stop playing music when screensaver starts. i jhave ubuntu 10.04 and all updates | 10:24 |
| indus | nikolam, you can file a bug with google for google earth , did you know | 10:24 |
| nikolam | JonathanEllis, I am thinking now of using older release of google earth and wondering where to get it | 10:24 |
| indus | nikolam, i have tried earth for many ubuntu versions and it jsut hangs | 10:24 |
| JonathanEllis | Jordan_U: Not tried it. As I say, there is no graphics driver later than Hardy. I remember trying the Karmic LiveCD and the screen didnt work | 10:25 |
| nikolam | indus, yeah, you are right | 10:25 |
| nikolam | indus, worked for me till 9.10 | 10:25 |
| indus | JonathanEllis, driver for what ? graphics? | 10:25 |
| JonathanEllis | nikolam: NO idea where to get it. I just use googlemaps.com and do screen captures | 10:25 |
| JonathanEllis | indus: Yes no graphics driver for Matrox G200 beyond Hardy | 10:25 |
| JonathanEllis | indus: And it took so long to get that working I am reluctant to start again | 10:26 |
| nikolam | JonathanEllis, oh NO. I was just planning to put new LTS to an Older computer with matrox G400 maybe 400 is ok | 10:26 |
| eoke | xev: If you haven't already it may be worth seeing what large files or folder you have in your home directory "du /home | sort -nr | less" the bigger the number the bigger the file/folder. Only delete files folders if you know what they are. | 10:26 |
| JonathanEllis | nikolam: http://forum.tuxx-home.at/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=748 | 10:27 |

| indus | JonathanEllis, is it a proprietary driver ? | 10:27 |

| xev | saba / perl ? | 10:28 |
| nikolam | JonathanEllis, I have issue with free driver for radeon on new Lts, to. AMD refused to make supported driver for integrated graphics, beyond 8.10 and now I have 12 FPS instead of 50-70 FPS with Hardy/losed drivers etc | 10:28 |
| xev | samba* | 10:28 |
| lfitz | basically, the paths defined in /etc/exports dont support NFS but the are ext2 | 10:29 |
| lfitz | again, http://lfitz.bravehost.com/nfs-error.html :) | 10:29 |
| nikolam | JonathanEllis, oh. so after Hardy, one can use.. console and X forwarding... | 10:29 |
| JonathanEllis | indus: Matrox basically gave up supporting linux for these old cards. They have released a newer driver for P series cards I understand. I am using the unoffical driver from tuxx-home | 10:29 |
| AdvoWork | Hi there, im using epiphany for something(email). when i click print, it opens the new window showing the contents to print, it only does this first time, second time i try and print, it doesnt. all other pcs are ok with this, its just the one. Any ideas please? | 10:29 |
| indus | JonathanEllis, is there no open source driver for this card? also. isnt the matrox g 200 like 15 years old ? | 10:29 |
| JonathanEllis | nikolam: Matrox basically gave up supporting linux for these old cards. They have released a newer driver for P series cards I understand. I am using the unoffical driver from tuxx-home | 10:30 |

| indus | nikolam, so do these cards work out of the box on ubuntu ? | 10:31 |
| JonathanEllis | indus: No idea how old the card is. Yes the tuxx driver is open source. I'm limited to what cards I can use as I only have PCI slots, no AGP and no PCI express | 10:31 |
| waseem | see i feel asking one expert rather than following 10 opinions | 10:31 |

| waseem | ok ubottu | 10:33 |
| indus | heh hehe | 10:34 |
| indus | so polite people are | 10:34 |
| JonathanEllis | indus: I dont think the graphics will work since there is no driver beyond Hardy for the G series cards. I have 1GB of RAM. Who knows if that's "enough" but its the maximum my motherboard will take | 10:34 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | I think I didn't word my question very well earlier... I want to downgrade gdm from 2.28 to 2.20 so I can use all the old GDM themes. Does anyone know how to do this? | 10:34 |
| nikolam | aha ok, JonathanEllis at me, G400 did work with 8.04 | 10:34 |
| MaRk-I | reeniginEesreveR: you can execute the script and add an ampersand or script nohup | 10:34 |
| indus | JonathanEllis, how do you know for sure there is no driver , if it is open source, then it should exist | 10:34 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | I've found several guides, but they're all for Karmic and I'm worried that I'll screw something up. | 10:35 |
| indus | beyond hardy also | 10:35 |
| red2kic | ThatGuyOverThere: Tbh, I don't spend my time admiring the GDM theme. I have it autologin so I can get to the intertubes faster. Do the same? | 10:35 |
| indus | JonathanEllis, but i see your link and seems you have done your research | 10:35 |
| reeniginEesreveR | MaRk-I, when add an ampersand, it keep running in background but if i logoff the process gets terminated as well | 10:35 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | red2kic: I'm just that much of a control freak. I have to customize it. :/ | 10:36 |
| MaRk-I | reeniginEesreveR: then try "nohup" | 10:36 |
| JonathanEllis | indus: I suppose I dont know for sure but I remember problems even getting my onboard graphics to work with Karmic let alone the Matrox. When I read http://forum.tuxx-home.at/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=748 I just gave up trying. I think drilling a hole in the wall and running a cable may take less time than trying to upgrade. | 10:36 |
| indus | JonathanEllis, so just try with live cd then, its surely worth it | 10:36 |
| indus | JonathanEllis, if it works etc, then good | 10:37 |
| JonathanEllis | indus: Fair enough | 10:37 |
| red2kic | ThatGuyOverThere: Is it worth breaking something? :) | 10:37 |
| nikolam | indus, but it needs to be maintained to work with newer kernel etc. Partially rewritten, etc. Linux kernel does not provide binary backward compatibility for drivers. and newer kernels just, say, changed that way they connect do graphics driver part. So we can Better behaving in the future. I support noone should care too much for so old hardware. I care and therefore I think only solution is to use older Stable kernel distros for tha | 10:37 |
| nikolam | t hardware that works and are suported etc. | 10:37 |

| indus | waseem, copy output of lspci to that address in the box provided, then click on send and give the url here | 10:40 |
| red2kic | kazagistar: You have it set for login automatically. That itself is a security flaw. When you don't use encryption, the Wifi password and among other things will be stored visibly on ~/gnome* | 10:41 |

| red2kic | kazagistar: That's fine. Whatever floats your boat. Look for Encryption + Keys. Delete the keyring so you can generate a new one and leave the password blank (unsecured). Then you won't be pestered for extra password. | 10:45 |

| moldy | MaRk-I: btw, it said "no alternatives for xulrunner-addons-javaplugin.so." | 11:11 |
| Jordan_U | Elnino: What are you trying to compile? | 11:11 |
| pehden | is it available as a .deb | 11:11 |
| om26er | Elnino, check if libbluetooth3-dev might be the package name. | 11:11 |
| Elnino | bluesnarfer/ | 11:11 |
| erUSUL | pehden: the source code is aviable in launchpad afaik | 11:11 |

| jrib | andai: please pastebin commands to show what you are talking about | 11:14 |
| indus | reuben, hi what is problem | 11:14 |
| erUSUL | andai: but maybe that newest version aviable is not enough for the package (or too much ) | 11:14 |
| jrib | andai: oh. What are you installing? What unofficial repositories are you using? | 11:14 |

| erUSUL | MaMoUs: if we know the files we can do « dpkg -S /path/to/file » to find out what package the file is. then purge and install the package to get a fresh copy. but you said you do not know the files ... | 11:24 |
| Sego | How do you bring up an 'Internet Explorer' from the command line??? | 11:24 |
| om26er | Sego, type firefox and press enter | 11:24 |
| jrib | gpathy: apparently they share some files. I guess pick one and install it somewhere like /opt manually | 11:24 |

| dkam | indus: weird - when I run do-upgrade again it says it's going to upgrade me to Jaunty | 11:27 |
| MaMoUs | damn | 11:27 |
| dkam | indus: the /etc/issue still says 8.04 - that should have been upgraded yeah? | 11:27 |

| moldy | ok, i am currently trying to manually install (dpkg -i) the newer java packages that have the bugfix | 11:27 |
| moldy | but there seems to be a circular dependency between sun-java6-bin and sun-java7-jre. how do i work around this? | 11:28 |
| dkam | indus: ahhh - it upgraded me to 8.10! | 11:28 |
| dkam | indus: and now to jaunty | 11:28 |
| alex87 | anyone know a command that lists how many files are in a folder? | 11:28 |
| shruggar | jrib: that appears to be a collection of scripts, not extensions | 11:29 |
| indus | dkam, lol what ? from which version are you upgrading? | 11:29 |
| indus | dkam, ya thats true, it upgrades step by step | 11:29 |
| dkam | indus: 8.04 | 11:29 |

| jrib | shruggar: ah, what do you mean by nautilus extensions? They're usually in packages, no? | 11:30 |
| indus | dkam, i think update manager core was the problem | 11:30 |
| dkam | indus: yeah - I think you're right. | 11:30 |

| RudyValencia | Sego: chromium-browser | 11:31 |
| indus | dkam, now i guess you have to go from 8.10 to 9.04 | 11:31 |
| indus | dkam, becausae we changed that line to 'normal' | 11:31 |
| dkam | indus: I think so | 11:31 |
| indus | dkam, ah shucks this is my mistake | 11:31 |
| RudyValencia | (if you don't have it, install the 'chromium-browser' package) | 11:31 |

| matteo1990 | In my last ubuntu update my pc turned of during the installation of new geeforce drivers. Now if i turn on the pc i get in low graphic mode and if i log in i can see only a blanck screen. This happens also if i press ctrl F1 to go to the terminal. What can i do to recover the system? | 11:34 |
| magicianlord | matteo1990: go into terminal, and nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, then add 'blacklist nouveau | 11:35 |
| indus | dkam, always remember, update manager core :) | 11:35 |
| jrib | shruggar: https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/MSysGit:GitCheetah gives install instructions. It's likely a matter of just copying the result to ~/.nautilus/extensions or similar | 11:35 |
| magicianlord | blacklist nouveau | 11:35 |
| abhi_nav | Sego, :D | 11:35 |
| matteo1990 | magicianlord, how to get in terminal? If i press ctrl F1 i get blank screen | 11:39 |
| abhi_nav | matteo1990, press alt f2 and type gnome-terminal | 11:40 |
| abhi_nav | matteo1990, to go to terminal that is | 11:40 |
| shruggar | jrib: I don't want to install it, I want to get documentation on how to install extensions. git-cheetah's "make install" puts it under /usr/lib, and I'm looking for documentation because I would prefer something such as ~/.nautilus/extensions | 11:41 |
| magicianlord | whats a good terminal only ipod manager? | 11:41 |
| magicianlord | i need this. | 11:41 |
| magicianlord | what backend does gtkpod run on | 11:41 |
| abhi_nav | !ipod | magicianlord | 11:42 |
| ubottu | magicianlord: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod | 11:42 |
| magicianlord | that | 11:42 |
| magicianlord | that's too much to read this morning | 11:42 |
| jrib | shruggar: try the same directory but under ~/.nautilus... like ~/.nautilus/extensions-2.0 apparently. Documentation is sparse, see http://www.hvoigt.net/dev/nautilus-extensions-tutor.html | 11:42 |
| magicianlord | just need a name | 11:42 |
| matteo1990 | abhi_nav, I can see only the log in screen | 11:43 |
| jrib | shruggar: my guess is "make install-user" from the wiki link earlier does what you want | 11:43 |
| matteo1990 | abhi_nav, if i log in i get blank screen, same if i press ctrl alt f1 | 11:43 |
| abhi_nav | matteo1990, Application=>Terminal | 11:43 |
| abhi_nav | matteo1990, ctrl alt f1 is different | 11:43 |
| matteo1990 | abhi_nav, I can't see anything | 11:43 |
| matteo1990 | I am in the xterm login screen, how to open a terminal? | 11:44 |
| rob_p | Tricks: How did it go? | 11:45 |
| shruggar | jrib: the "make install-user" command is for a different platform, and doesn't exist for nautilus. I had already tried ~/.nautilus/extensions-2.0, but it didn't have any effect. I'm not going to sit around guessing directories it might be checking. I already looked at the "extensions tutor" link before, but it is not by any means what it says on the tin :) | 11:45 |
| abhi_nav_ | hey I was lost connection. now I am reconnected. | 11:46 |

| Tricks | from a windows client I get unknow can't find google.co.uk: query refused | 11:46 |

| Tricks | rob_p, erm I copied the listen-on part. Shouldn't those two default to all hosts anyway unless otherwise specified? | 11:55 |
| rob_p | Tricks: Yeah. Just making sure you didn't just copy/paste what I have. I use ACLs because my nameserver is on a public-facing network and I don't want to provide name resolution to the world! :-) | 11:57 |
| Tricks | :) | 11:57 |
| Tricks | hmm | 11:57 |
| rob_p | Tricks: I also have it firewalled appropriately so it's realy a non-issue but I still have the ACLs defined. | 11:57 |
| jendral | hi | 11:58 |
| Tricks | rob_p I have a class C (is it?) subnet 192.168.2.x so would the listen-on be 192.168.2.0/24? | 11:58 |
| indus | matteo1990, heya | 11:58 |
| indus | matteo1990, where are you stuck | 11:58 |

| Tricks | rob_p ok so it's not that then | 11:59 |
| Tricks | rob_p ah think I've found it mate one sec | 11:59 |

| bugs_bugger | somebody got an idea? | 12:02 |
| Tricks | rob_p it's working! that was so much easier to setup than samba I didn't think it's be that easy | 12:02 |
| rob_p | Tricks: Ah,ha! That would be your ACLs set to allow localhost only! That would do it! | 12:03 |
| rob_p | Tricks: Glad you got it up and running. Congrats! :-) | 12:03 |

| TheOm3ga | hi | 12:06 |
| TheOm3ga | what's the best software to create an screencast on ubuntu? | 12:07 |
| saleh | اه | 12:07 |
| jrib | !screencasts | TheOm3ga | 12:07 |
| ubottu | TheOm3ga: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Xvidcap, pyvnc2swf. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. | 12:07 |
| TheOm3ga | thanks | 12:07 |
| LjL | bugs_bugger: Octave is very close to being a MatLab equivalent. actually, it's a clone | 12:07 |
| bugs_bugger | mhh. ok. didnt know that. but do you have to pay for it? | 12:09 |
| TheOm3ga | no, it's open source | 12:09 |
| matteo1990 | indus, i mean that i can log in but then i get blank screen | 12:09 |
| odb|fidel | hi - shouldnt apt offer a libpam-modules update already for 10.04? | 12:09 |
| bugs_bugger | shaw1337: there you go ^^ sorry, i was wrong | 12:10 |
| indus | matteo1990, tried booting in safe graphics mode? | 12:10 |
| bugs_bugger | LjL: you happen to be able to help me on my graphics problem? | 12:11 |
| odb|fidel | the security document is mentioning: in general a standard system update will make all the necessary changes | 12:11 |
| odb|fidel | while it doenst for me | 12:11 |
| matteo1990 | indus, I am in safe graphic i think, xterm | 12:11 |
| Tyrrone | irc.icq.com | 12:11 |
| donatella | ciao | 12:11 |
| indus | matteo1990, you mean the console | 12:12 |
| LjL | bugs_bugger: sorry, i don't know about that (Octave is free, it's in the repositories, shaw is gone however) | 12:12 |
| indus | matteo1990, ah no inside a small window | 12:12 |
| indus | matteo1990, did you select xterm from options during login > | 12:13 |
| indus | ? | 12:13 |
| odb|fidel | anyone into the libpam-modules security issue? | 12:13 |
| matteo1990 | indus, i am inside a small window and xterm is going | 12:14 |
| kaushal | hi | 12:14 |
| bugs_bugger | LjL: hmm, thanks. i guess i hit a bad time to post my question. more "customers" than "servicecraft" ^^ | 12:14 |
| kaushal | I have a wierd issue about disk space. my pastebin is here http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/460588/ | 12:14 |
| Bublik | A question about raid. i have an array of 4 drives. in raid 10. i turned on my pc today and the raid card was beeping. reboot and the automaticly went into the raid card bios and now it shows me 2 arrays both as raid 10 with 2 drives missing from each. Anyone have any clue what may be going on? Can i simply use the 4 discs as JBOD without having to format and loose all my data? | 12:14 |
| indus | matteo1990, any issue with graphics? | 12:14 |
| kaushal | I dont get count of approximately 43 Gb | 12:14 |
| indus | matteo1990, when did this start happening? | 12:14 |
| matteo1990 | indus, my nvidia driver is gone. | 12:15 |
| razz1 | I am unable to connect using ssh, could someone tell me what wrong, this is the command: ssh -C 202.xxx.xx.xxx -p 22 -L 5900:10.xxx.xx.xxx:5900 -l pat | 12:15 |
| LjL | bugs_bugger: it's often like that. anyway if you're using the open-source ATI driver, maybe switching to the proprietary one would fix this; if you're using the Nvidia one, there are more than one version of it available in the repos, so you might possibly try another. it's just guesses though | 12:15 |
| indus | matteo1990, gone where ? | 12:16 |
| indus | matteo1990, ok then i xterm you can install it | 12:16 |
| bugs_bugger | LjL: thanks for the advice, i already tried out the different packages. im using nvidia | 12:16 |
| ubuntu51 | hello | 12:17 |
| ubuntu51 | i need ur help | 12:17 |
| rob_p | ubuntu51: What's the problem? | 12:17 |
| ubuntu51 | any idea of default password of root in new ubuntu | 12:17 |
| odb|fidel | ubuntu51: use sudo | 12:17 |
| Vroomfondle | ubuntu51: there is no root in ubuntu by default. | 12:17 |
| Vroomfondle | !root | 12:17 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 12:17 |
| ubuntu51 | my problem is i can't uninstall my codeweavers | 12:18 |
| wizard_ | can anyone tell me how I can find out if I have the latest version of xbmc installed | 12:18 |
| Vroomfondle | use sudo | 12:18 |
| matteo1990 | matteo1990, i have xterm on. My nvidia driver was updating and my system crash, i need only to open a terminal but i dunno how | 12:18 |
| anodesni | how about 'sudo su'? | 12:18 |
| odb|fidel | wizard_: check if apt offers something newer ;) | 12:18 |
| odb|fidel | if you got it via apt at all | 12:18 |
| wizard_ | odb|fidel, how | 12:18 |
| Tricks | rob_p, thanks for all your help mate name resolution seems to be noticably quicker now | 12:18 |
| odb|fidel | wizard_: did you install that app using apt/aptitude? | 12:19 |
| rob_p | anodesni: Probably better to just use sudo. | 12:19 |
| rob_p | Tricks: Welcome. Take care. | 12:19 |
| wizard_ | odb|fidel, I added a repo then updated it then took it from it, find it online | 12:19 |
| Tricks | rob_p, I'm going to annoy you now but how do i make a entry in the databse for local clients? | 12:20 |
| indus | matteo1990, you can install from xterm, dont you see a $ symbol | 12:20 |
| odb|fidel | wizard_: so run update/upgrade and you are done based on the repos you have | 12:20 |
| wizard_ | odb|fidel, you see it wont play video and it sometimes crashes when I exit it | 12:20 |
| rob_p | Tricks: As in create local zone files for local name resolution? | 12:20 |
| wizard_ | odb|fidel, so sudo apt-get update ? | 12:20 |
| dannbrown | hi anyone understand how to modify blogspot? | 12:20 |
| Tricks | basically i set this up so my samba share will function correctly with hostname | 12:20 |
| razz1 | I am unable to connect using ssh, could someone tell me whats wrong, this is the command: ssh -C 202.xxx.xx.xxx -p 22 -L 5900:10.xxx.xx.xxx:5900 -l pat | 12:20 |
| abhi_nav | !ot | dannbrown | 12:20 |
| ubottu | dannbrown: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 12:20 |
| indus | matteo1990, xterm is just an ugly version of the gnome terminal | 12:21 |
| odb|fidel | wizard_: before adding sources in general you should read about apt | 12:21 |
| dannbrown | anyone know how to upgrade firefox in lucid? | 12:21 |
| rystraum | dannbrown: sudo apt-get install firefox? | 12:21 |
| odb|fidel | its not a good idea to use such functions if you dont even know the basics - take that just as a good hint ;) | 12:21 |
| wizard_ | odb|fidel, ok | 12:21 |
| rob_p | Tricks: There are tons of tutorials on bind9 zone file creation. Not sure I could do any better explaining it than what you'd find with a few Google searches. | 12:21 |
| ubuntu51 | how to uninstall sofware using root account | 12:21 |
| matteo1990 | indus, if i try to login with xterm like with the other modes i get totally blank screen | 12:21 |
| Tricks | rob_p ok mate thanks again and you have a nice day | 12:21 |
| wizard_ | ubuntu51, sudo | 12:22 |
| dannbrown | my firefox cant restart | 12:22 |
| rob_p | Tricks: I'd be glad to assist if you get stuck, however. :-) | 12:22 |
| dannbrown | i think lucid is bad than karmic?? | 12:22 |
| indus | matteo1990, hmm did you try ctl atl f2 or f3 | 12:22 |
| Tricks | rob_p that's reassuring to know :) thanks again. hope work doesn't drag too much for ya :) | 12:22 |
| matteo1990 | indus, yea... blank screen :S | 12:23 |
| indus | matteo1990, can you reboot into another older kernel | 12:23 |
| Heikki123 | so, any ideas on the sound problem? Sound is stopping from wine programs when screen saver gets on. also native linux programs will get a short silent moment when the screensaver gets on | 12:23 |
| rob_p | Tricks: I love my job! I get paid while I sit here frequenting the Ubuntu support channel! :-) | 12:23 |

| Dr_Willis | !apt | ubuntu51 | 12:25 |
| ubottu | ubuntu51: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 12:25 |
| Tricks | rob_p i have to admit I'm supporting a range of ubuntu and centos webservers and they never give me any hassle. It's the windows clients that cause the trouble | 12:25 |
| ActionParsnip | rob_p: same here, esx is fine. VM hosts running win 2003 give the grief | 12:25 |
| Tricks | rob_p I think I've had to restart mysql on one server once cause it crashed and that's all I've had to do lol | 12:26 |
| phretor | hi, what's wrong with this? sudo mount -o remount,noatime,auto,rw,dev,exec,suid,nouser,data=writeback /dev/sda6 ? It says "mount: / not mounted already, or bad option" | 12:26 |
| matteo1990 | ActionParsnip, Thx alot :) I'll give a look :) | 12:26 |
| ActionParsnip | phretor: you havent specified a mount point | 12:26 |
| phretor | ah, damn it | 12:27 |
| Dr_Willis | unless fstab had an entry for /dev/sda6 | 12:27 |
| rob_p | Tricks: CentOS is solid. I use it for a VOIP gateway device for 2-way radio comms. It's been very reliable. | 12:27 |
| ActionParsnip | phretor: the mount point must exist too, its not mounts job to make mount points | 12:27 |
| phretor | ActionParsnip: I am remounting / | 12:27 |
| ActionParsnip | phretor: / will always exist :) | 12:27 |
| Dr_Willis | thats a lot of options to be using also. :) | 12:28 |
| phretor | Dr_Willis: what's wrong with their numerosity? | 12:28 |
| Tricks | rob_p same here we have asterisk running on it never gone down, never been rebooted all i have to do it login once a month to clear down the call recordings | 12:28 |
| indus | phretor, yeah dont need that many options | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: noatime is ood for speed boots (a tiny bit) | 12:28 |
| indus | phretor, i have mounted partitions just with vfat | 12:28 |
| phretor | indus: I do need all of them. | 12:28 |
| indus | phretor, or whatever | 12:28 |
| indus | phretor, ok | 12:28 |
| rob_p | ActionParsnip: I have a handful of servers running on a Vmware server host. They are most Ubuntu VMs but I've got a couple of other flavors runing as well. | 12:28 |
| indus | phretor, better add it to fstab then | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip | rob_p: we virtualise a lot of citrix and web boxes | 12:29 |
| phretor | indus: I cannot reboot. | 12:29 |
| rob_p | ActionParsnip: Sounds pretty slick. | 12:29 |
| Tricks | rob_p centOS 100% uptime in over a year, windows host would probably be about 80% | 12:29 |
| kaushal | checking in again for the query ? | 12:29 |
| ActionParsnip | rob_p: its good fun but they are crappy IBMs so don't reboot properly on schedule which mean I gotta button the suckkas | 12:29 |
| rob_p | Tricks: I run Asterisk on one of my VMs under Ubuntu. Rock-solid thus far. | 12:30 |
| Dr_Willis | phretor: most of those options i think are the defaults anyway | 12:30 |
| phretor | Dr_Willis: not noatime | 12:30 |
| Dr_Willis | phretor: so you need one option then? :) | 12:30 |
| rob_p | ActionParsnip: Yeah, sometimes you have to deal with crappy hardware. Software can only do so much! | 12:30 |
| Dr_Willis | well remount and noatime. | 12:30 |
| phretor | Dr_Willis: at least that, but I'd rather be sure all the others are applied. | 12:30 |
| ActionParsnip | rob_p: last job used some new dells and they were flawless :) | 12:31 |
| John1010 | Good Day, | 12:31 |
| Dr_Willis | Im not even sure what 'nouser' even does | 12:31 |
| John1010 | I need help installing my W/C card | 12:31 |
| rob_p | ActionParsnip: Dell seems to have a nice server product range. | 12:31 |
| ActionParsnip | rob_p: one acronym: DRAC | 12:31 |
| ActionParsnip | John1010: whats w/c ? water closet? | 12:32 |
| John1010 | :) Wirless card | 12:32 |
| ActionParsnip | so you want to install a wireless card card? | 12:32 |
| John1010 | is this the right place to ask ? | 12:32 |
| rob_p | ActionParsnip: Yeah. Out of band management is *very* handy! | 12:32 |
| ActionParsnip | sure if you are using ubuntu | 12:32 |
| John1010 | well i am using backtrack 4 which is based on ubuntu | 12:33 |
| ActionParsnip | John1010: please dont abbreviate things unless they are defacto standard abbreviations | 12:33 |
| ActionParsnip | John1010: its not supported here | 12:33 |
| ActionParsnip | !bt4 | John1010 | 12:33 |
| ActionParsnip | !backtrack | 12:33 |
| ubottu | There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) | 12:33 |
| ActionParsnip | John1010: its based on ubuntu but isnt ubuntu, its backtrack. you need to join #backtrack-linux | 12:34 |
| John1010 | how to join that channel please advice | 12:34 |
| ActionParsnip | John1010: /join #backtrack-linux | 12:34 |
| Dr_Willis | John1010: how did you join this one? | 12:34 |
| Aciid | Dr_Willis: dont assume the IQ level | 12:35 |
| ActionParsnip | its an honest question | 12:35 |
| John1010 | I just open the chat and select the channel then i clicked on it | 12:35 |
| John1010 | thanks for those who want to help | 12:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Aciid: i was just wiondering if backtrack is so good that they dident bother to change their default channels for their chat programs.. :) | 12:36 |
| arkhe | I'm looking to switch from Windows to Ubuntu, but have one question: Will Ubuntu handle some core drivers automatically like Windows? Like, will it recognize a mouse when I plug a mouse in, and any needed drivers for the hardware on my PC? | 12:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Aciid: or if he actually selected #ubuntu | 12:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: i doubt it ;) | 12:36 |
| Dr_Willis | ActionParsnip: lets go file a bug on the backtrack forums/bug thing then. ;) | 12:37 |
| rob_p | arkhe: Most common things, yes. Less common things, maybe. | 12:37 |
| abhi_nav | Dr_Willis, lol :D | 12:37 |
| Aciid | Dr_Willis: yeah i hate that, I've actually seen the discussion at bactrack and aircrack related channels. 90% is "does it run on windows" "will my wireless dongle work" "how do I shoot the wep" | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: never uderstood it, you can install ubuntu then instal all the garbage which makes up a backtrack install and get support in the official cannel. | 12:37 |
| Tricks | rob_p I have had a look on the net and found a few example zone files | 12:37 |
| Aciid | IRC should be disallowed by morality Default before you have actually researched by yourself | 12:38 |
| arkhe | rob_p I'm planning to save a few personal files, then wipe my hard-drive. I just want to make sure that if I tried to install Ubuntu on a clean HD it will work. So I shouldn't have problems with that plan? | 12:38 |
| rob_p | arkhe: Nearly all mice, keyboards, sound cards, network interface cards (wired), usually just work. | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Aciid: people are essentially lazy | 12:38 |
| rob_p | arkhe: You don't even have to do that! Simply boot-up to the live CD and give it a test run! | 12:38 |
| arkhe | Okay. Thanks. :) | 12:38 |
| rob_p | arkhe: Welcome! Good luck! | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | arkhe: make sure you backup all the hidden files in $HOME and you will retain configs | 12:39 |
| Aciid | ActionParsnip: I have lost all fate in humanity | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Aciid: not faith?.... | 12:39 |
| h-kan | hi, some quick questions. How do you set runlevel 3 when there is no inittab and is there an easy way to manage what starts in different runlevels? like chkconfig on redhat systems? | 12:40 |
| rob_p | Tricks: Yeah, pretty straight-forward. Just keep in mind that the syntax of pretty much *all* config files for Bind9 are very particular. | 12:40 |
| erUSUL | !runlevels | h-kan | 12:40 |
| ubottu | h-kan: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 12:40 |
| seasonfive | Hi all ! I've a question for you guys: Why did ubuntu still perform a complete check disk from times to times ? i though that the need of complete check disk disappeared with ext2 | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Aciid: the saying is lost faith, not fate | 12:40 |
| rob_p | Tricks: It's very easy to leave out a {, }, or a semi-colon, etc. | 12:41 |
| erUSUL | seasonfive: what ws eliminated was the fsck after unclean shutdwon ( power outage ) no the periodic fsck performed every 30 mounts or so | 12:41 |
| erUSUL | seasonfive: man tunefs | 12:41 |
| Tricks | rob_p, the only part that's a little confusing is that there's alot of reference to a TLD being used but in my case this isn't necessary because I mine is local | 12:42 |
| seasonfive | erUSUL, thanks. But i though that ext3 has a fast recovery thanks to its journal ? | 12:42 |
| Tricks | rob_p, do I leave that stuff out? | 12:42 |
| kaushal | can some one please guide me about my post on ubuntu mailing list https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2010-July/222568.html | 12:42 |
| rob_p | Tricks: Yeah. You can make one up if you like. | 12:42 |
| seasonfive | erUSUL, I mean i think i never had trouble reported by this periodical check | 12:42 |
| rob_p | Tricks: I think it will complain if you leave it out. | 12:42 |
| erUSUL | seasonfive: yes; that has nothing to do with periodic shceduled sanity checks that you can disable if you want | 12:43 |
| erUSUL | seasonfive: i advice you not to; btw | 12:43 |
| purvesh | can some one help me to Announcement of Translation Team and other Guideline Details | 12:44 |
| Tricks | rob_p, ok cool, what's it used for then? Is it for large domains where there will be more than one DNS servers? | 12:44 |
| h-kan | ubottu: tnx. is there any frontend for !upstart than or how does it know what to start? | 12:44 |
| seasonfive | erUSUL, thanks for your answer. Do you have an idea of what errors can be discovered this way ? I though ext3 was near unbreakable (in regards of data inconsistency). Is it more a hardware check ? | 12:45 |
| rob_p | Tricks: I never bothered with name resolution of local hosts. But I do recall seeing examples of local only zone files floating around the 'Net. | 12:45 |
| rob_p | Tricks: What's what used for? The TLD? That | 12:46 |
| rob_p | Tricks: That's what the zone is going to define. | 12:46 |
| erUSUL | seasonfive: maybe an alpha ray comming from space flipped some bits in your no ECC RAM ( so no error detected or correctd) that affected filesystem metadata ..... :) | 12:46 |
| NigelS | !upstart | h-kan | 12:46 |
| ubottu | h-kan: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 12:46 |
| Dr_Willis | kaushal: you could at leaast summarize the issue - if you excpect anyone to go to a site to discuss it. | 12:46 |
| NigelS | h-kan: ubottu is a bot :) | 12:46 |
| erUSUL | seasonfive: i do not find a chack every 30 mounts that cumbersome; you can up that number ( say do the check every 40 - 50 mounts ) | 12:47 |
| h-kan | NigelS: i noticed that now ;) | 12:47 |
| rob_p | Tricks: So you make up a local domain and then create the zone file for it. | 12:47 |
| Tricks | rob_p found a good thread so i'm going to read through that :) | 12:47 |
| seasonfive | erUSUL, But then what about servers wich "never" reboot (so never remount) ? | 12:47 |
| kaushal | Dr_Willis: will summarize the issue | 12:48 |
| === tachyon is now known as Guest21635 | ||

| kaushal | I dont get count of approximately 43Gb | 12:48 |
| erUSUL | seasonfive: well thats a problem the sysadmin has to cope with himself :) servers have ECC RAM poor pc's do not | 12:49 |
| erUSUL | seasonfive: again; disable the checks if you want. is really up to you | 12:49 |
| kaushal | I have run du -hs /* /.[^.]* on hardy server | 12:49 |
| kaushal | df -h reports differently | 12:50 |
| kaushal | Dr_Willis: Please suggest | 12:50 |
| ActionParsnip | erUSUL: servers simply offer a service to client(s) hence server, it's nothing to do with quality of ram | 12:50 |
| === adan0s_ is now known as adan0s | ||
| seasonfive | erUSUL, sure i know i can disable it. I ask that only to know "why its needed". Though modern file system didn't need off-line check (perform error recovery "on fly" when possible) | 12:51 |
| erUSUL | ActionParsnip: i'm only saying that *typical* server hardware has ECC RAM as opposed to *typical* pc hardware | 12:51 |
| seasonfive | erUSUL, you were really patient :-p Thanks a lot for all your answers | 12:51 |
| joobong | how do i install a web server on my machine? | 12:51 |
| ActionParsnip | erUSUL: possibly ;) depends on many factors, but its offtopic here | 12:51 |
| erUSUL | seasonfive: (perform error recovery "on fly" when possible) <<< that's not true. what ext3 did by adding a journal was avoiding the fsck after unclean umount; that and *only* that | 12:52 |

| Slifer | hello all | 13:02 |
| jrib | PerryArmstrong: for file in *; do echo $file; done as an example | 13:03 |
| Slifer | i need some help from you plz | 13:03 |
| bazhang | Slifer, ask a question | 13:03 |
| Slifer | i am new with linux ( 2days ) | 13:03 |
| jrib | !here | kaushal | 13:03 |
| ubottu | kaushal: Please give at least an overview of your problem *here* (all in one line) - you will get a much greater audience. If you have to use more than 3 lines, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | 13:03 |
| Slifer | especially with Ubuntu ( 2days ) and first time using it | 13:04 |
| PerryArmstrong | jrib; is $file the output text file | 13:04 |
| kaushal | jrib: sure | 13:04 |

| kaushal | I have a weird issue about disk space on Ubuntu Hardy Server 8.04. I do not get count of approximately 43Gb, I have rebooted the server too. It did not worked too. Please suggest. | 13:04 |
| jrib | PerryArmstrong: no, it's a variable. Each time the loop runs, $file contains the name of a file | 13:04 |
| jrib | PerryArmstrong: run the command, you will see | 13:04 |
| Slifer | thnkx bazhang | 13:05 |
| bazhang | Slifer, there is no mirc for Ubuntu. you could try xchat or some other for example. please have a read of the manual I linked you to | 13:05 |
| PerryArmstrong | jrib; ok i'll test it...i think i need to save in a .sh and then run it | 13:05 |
| Slifer | yes i am going to do that bazhang thnkx a lot | 13:05 |
| jrib | PerryArmstrong: well, you can if you want, but you don't have to. Just type it in your shell | 13:05 |

I plugged it in and I did a "lsUSB" and my modem was shown there, but I dont know if Ubuntu installed it or not... It needs to connect via PPPoE... Do I need software that i need to install or what? | 13:06 |

| ActionParsnip | mikelifeguard: right click the file select open with, its all tere | 13:12 |
| blue_anna | seasonfive, lots .. like I was saying, since the libc updates on lucid just the other day, now suddenly my machine hard freezes for no reason :) | 13:12 |
| blue_anna | seasonfive, there's no segfaults, nothing in the logs | 13:12 |
| ylmfos | thank you bazhang | 13:12 |
| blue_anna | seasonfive, not even if I remove and plug in USB hardware does it interrupt | 13:13 |
| blue_anna | seasonfive, or if I let it run for an hour | 13:13 |
| seasonfive | blue_anna, from what i know, nothing crash without logs. Sounds like hardware/driver problem more than libc related. But i can be wrong :) | 13:13 |
| blue_anna | seasonfive, hmm -- well like you pointed it, it isnt technically crashing. it's freezing | 13:14 |
| blue_anna | but it just keeps on freezing all day long :P | 13:14 |
| seasonfive | blue_anna, So everything was fine, then installed this new libc, then just after everything froze ? | 13:14 |
| blue_anna | shortly after, its been like 3 times now that it's frozen | 13:15 |
| dubey | hello | 13:15 |
| blue_anna | the most recent was just this morning -- as soon as I logged in and connected all my internet apps | 13:15 |

| Tricks | rob_p can i post what I've done and you take a look if you're not busy | 13:17 |
| PerryArmstrong | ActionParsnip: the sh file contains the same code.... | 13:18 |
| seasonfive | blue_anna, NVIDIA drivers ? | 13:18 |
| blue_anna | seasonfive, I wish -- nop, powerpc architecture, no binaries | 13:18 |
| Dr_Willis | razz1: ssh has a -v and -vv and -vvv option that give more verbose error messages | 13:18 |
| PerryArmstrong | slinker1, the sh file contains the steps that i ran on the shell | 13:18 |
| seasonfive | blue_anna, is freeze commong on ppc ? :p | 13:18 |
| EgyParadox | razz1: ssh -C is an option for compression remove that ip addres after it | 13:19 |

| blue_anna | seasonfive, I've had it freeze for other stupid reasons, yes -- but running lucid-official packages in the manner they were intented, not so much :P | 13:19 |

| seasonfive | blue_anna, but i will be surprised that your problem is libc related | 13:25 |
| blue_anna | since it happens to so closely fit the pattern of freezes happening only after the install, I think it's a lot more likely than a spontaneous combustion of hardware ;) | 13:26 |

| cheater99 | sweet, thanks | 13:53 |
| miazgator | soreau_: I've got Nvidia :P | 13:53 |
| cheater99 | another thing | 13:53 |
| cheater99 | i've got 9.10, how can i get packages from 10.4? | 13:53 |
| Saturn_Neptuni | is anyone from germany around who switched to 10.04? | 13:54 |
| soreau_ | miazgator: it should kinda work, as far as I understand it | 13:54 |
| Pici | cheater99: Upgrade to 10.04. | 13:54 |
| blablubb | cheater99: You shouldn't do that. Just upgrade to 10.04 | 13:54 |
| Ranjan_ | Cheater99 :: go for update or add repos for 10.04 | 13:54 |
| blablubb | Saturn_Neptuni: Me | 13:54 |
| Pici | Saturn_Neptuni: Have you tried asking in #ubuntu-de | 13:54 |
| cheater99 | pici: i just want some packages | 13:54 |
| Pici | cheater99: You shouldn't do that, it is unsupported. | 13:54 |
| EgyParadox | cheater99: It is not recommended , It is better to upgrade to 10.04 | 13:54 |
| Saturn_Neptuni | thanks. hello blablubb. and pici: I'll do that next if this doesn't work out. | 13:55 |
| cheater99 | EgyParadox: i cannot do that right now | 13:55 |
| cheater99 | EgyParadox: my internet connection does not allow it, i'm on mobile internet | 13:55 |
| Saturn_Neptuni | blablubb: Did you have problems with your alt-gr key in gnome-applications before and got rid of them through the update? | 13:56 |
| razz1 | will_syd, its loggin this error, Error: bind to port 22 on 0.0.0.0 failed, address already in use: Error: bind to port 22 on :: failed, address already in use; fatal: cannot bind any address | 13:56 |
| Ranjan_ | Cheater99 :: just try to get an copy of 10.04 from your friends along with all the updates files ... | 13:57 |
| soreau_ | cheater99: all the more reason not to do it - without a good connection to fix it when you break it | 13:57 |
| cheater99 | when i upgrade, i have to update all the packages i have installed to 10.04 too, right? | 13:57 |
| EgyParadox | I am not sure if you can upgrade from karmic to lucid using alternate cd | 13:58 |
| blablubb | Saturn_Neptuni: No I hadn't any problems with ALT-GR, neither before nor after. | 13:58 |
| Pici | cheater99: You don't need to do anything special, it is all handled by the updater. | 13:58 |
| Saturn_Neptuni | well, thank you anyway. I'll try the german channel. | 13:58 |
| cheater99 | Pici: does the updater update the packages? | 13:58 |
| Pici | cheater99: Yes. Automagically. | 13:59 |
| cheater99 | ok | 13:59 |
| Ranjan_ | Cheater99 :: I am not sure about that | 13:59 |
| cheater99 | i can't do that then | 13:59 |

| Wil_syd | razz1: I can't help but "address already in use" is a good hint. | 13:59 |
| EgyParadox | Pici:Can he update to lucid using alternate cd? | 13:59 |
| Pici | cheater99: Then you are stuck with the versions offered in 9.10. | 13:59 |
| mouser-- | Are there any Ubuntu/Linux programs that are compatible with LapLink for DOS? I'm using a parallel port connection and don't have a modem/serial cable on the source computer. The only thing I found that was close was using PLIP, but I don't think that is compatible. . | 13:59 |

| indus | EgyParadox, you can upgrade | 14:00 |
| arunkumar413 | hi,i want to connect to internet using my mobile.But i cant find the APN option under moible broadband | 14:00 |
| EgyParadox | cheater99: You can do that as well, but you have to download the alternate CD on your own. | 14:00 |
| razz1 | Will_syd, appreciate your help, so from what I understand port 22 is not binding to any internal address, right? | 14:00 |
| indus | arunkumar413, still stuck ? | 14:00 |
| cheater99 | alternate cd? | 14:00 |
| arunkumar413 | indus: ya | 14:00 |
| cheater99 | mouser--: http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Serial-Laplink-HOWTO.html | 14:01 |

| cheater99 | maybe someone knows how to debug it? | 14:03 |
| vu1kan | Is there some way to determine whether or not synaptic is indexing a particular repo?(in this case a ppa) cause I'm not seeing loell's pagkages...i think I'm going to have to pull 'em down manually(no big deal, it would be nice to have this ppa work, i have a previous ver. through a different ppa) | 14:03 |
| phil42 | what changed in 2.6.24-28.71-generic ? | 14:03 |
| mouser-- | cheater99: Thanks, but that document appears specific to a serial cable. I'm using parallel. Also, I thought that the Laplink program used a non-TCP/IP connection. Am I incorrect? | 14:04 |
| cheater99 | mouser--: i don't know... | 14:04 |
| Wil_syd | razz1: sounds like sshd cannot listen to port 22 because something else is using it. This post has some troubleshooting steps to find what is using a particular port.... http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-331673.html | 14:04 |
| cheater99 | mouser--: do you mean the laplink from laplink.com? | 14:04 |
| mouser-- | cheater99: Yeah. I have version 5 running on the source computer. | 14:05 |
| vu1kan | additonally, it appears to be updating when i hit the button or when i <apt-get update>, but i'm still not seeing the packages in synaptic (sorry 'bout the multi line) | 14:05 |
| cheater99 | mouser--: i bet you it's just a normal parallel cable. | 14:06 |
| cheater99 | mouser--: in which case you can just use the faq :) | 14:07 |
| mouser-- | cheater99: I'm also dual-booting with WinXP Pro, but from what I've read, XP doesn't support parallel the same way as previous versions of Windows do. Sure, it's a normal parallel cable. I just bought it the other day. | 14:07 |

| Tricks | blablubb, indeed but for some reason I'm getting errors on mine, can i post it and you have a look? | 14:12 |
| cheater99 | mouser--: just follow that ms article, and set up a normal 'network connection'. should work. | 14:12 |
| blablubb | Tricks: Just add a regular Zonefile, and for each server ad line: "Servername IN A ipaddres" | 14:12 |
| blablubb | Tricks: Sure, post it somewhere. | 14:13 |
| jrib | sc30317: if it's down, use a different key server | 14:13 |
| cheater99 | you might have more luck using something like norton commander. | 14:13 |
| cheater99 | i think it had special options for parallel port links | 14:13 |
| Tricks | blablubb, I'm kinda new to this so I've probs done something wrong | 14:13 |
| sc30317 | jrib, do you know where else would host the vserver key? | 14:13 |
| mahen23 | [Screamo]: you can try these http://www.osguides.net/operation-systems/217-how-to-create-xorgconf-in-ubuntu-910.html | 14:14 |

| mahen23 | [Screamo]: you know how to change gnome themes, try playing around, see if it gets ok? | 14:22 |
| cheater99 | mouser--: just get an old hdd. or even boot off a live cd. | 14:22 |

| Ranjan_ | ibbu__:; have an look at moc4lin project | 14:26 |
| coz_ | ubuntu_giant, Radeon 7000 (or M6). 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. | 14:26 |
| om26er | ubuntu_giant, which version of ubuntu ? | 14:26 |
| indus | arunkumar413, i suggest file a bug while you try solving, someone might take it up | 14:27 |

| Dr_Willis | mib_skynet: it should be on the right hand side, sometimes it gets resized to be hidden. mouse over to the right side and see if your cursor changes so you can grab/resize it.. (theres also a setting to hide it i recall) | 14:29 |

| trizicus | ActionParsnip: nothing came up | 14:36 |
| TestSao | Doesn't show up in GParted, etc... | 14:36 |
| barfster | Is there a channel dealing with bios? | 14:37 |
| ActionParsnip | cheater99: do you use grub or grub2 | 14:37 |
| vaibhav | Ranjan_: ya let me check... | 14:37 |
| koskos | how to install python models | 14:37 |
| TestSao | I'm on 10.4 (Gnome) | 14:37 |
| indus | Pici, iksik so in laymans terms, what can be possible with this vulnerability | 14:37 |
| cheater99 | ActionParsnip: i think grub | 14:37 |
| cheater99 | no | 14:37 |
| TestSao | The HD is SATA3, no RAID,... | 14:37 |
| cheater99 | grub 2. | 14:37 |
| ActionParsnip | trizicus: if you'd websearch a little using my guidance you'd have found this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization | 14:37 |
| indus | koskos, i told you already how to import into existing file | 14:37 |
| blablubb | Tricks: http://pastebin.com/hy80enEi | 14:37 |
| indus | koskos, also no such thing as a python 'model' you mean module ? | 14:37 |
| cheater99 | ActionParsnip: actually, i'm confused. not sure. how do i check? | 14:37 |
| trizicus | ActionParsnip: I found a link however it requires linux installed... I can't install linux so I cant customize ubuntu... | 14:37 |
| ActionParsnip | cheater99: then you will need to add it in /boot/grub/menu.lst to the end of each kernel line | 14:37 |
| iksik | indus, erm, everything... when You gain a root privilages, you can do enything... i'm using ubuntu on one local server, thats why i'm veeeery interested with some patch on this issue ;/ | 14:37 |
| koskos | sorry im new | 14:38 |
| koskos | but how i do that :$ | 14:38 |
| cheater99 | ah there's menu.lst, found it | 14:38 |
| indus | koskos, tell me clearly what is it you are trying to do | 14:38 |
| ActionParsnip | trizicus: you'll need a workbench to work in so yes you will need linux installed, or if you have a tone of ram you can do it in the live cd | 14:38 |
| cheater99 | so for example i have: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=UUID=91998c61-9582-4840-9ef9-5c467deaf1f8 ro quiet splash | 14:38 |
| koskos | maybe pv? indus | 14:38 |
| indus | iksik,if iam correct, /etc/shadow is symlinked to ./cache? | 14:38 |
| Pici | iksik: Let me do a little digging and I'll get back to you. | 14:38 |
| iksik | indus, right | 14:38 |
| koskos | can i pm u ?:O | 14:38 |
| barfster | Is unetbootin a GUI app? or console? | 14:38 |
| rob_p | iksik: There is NO priv escalation on /etc/shadow following the alleged sym-link attack on my Ubuntu 10.04 install. | 14:38 |
| iksik | Pici ok | 14:38 |
| indus | koskos, ask here man, its better | 14:39 |
| koskos | ok | 14:39 |
| Dr_Willis | barfster: gui. and avail for linux and windows | 14:39 |
| mnemoc | hello, is there any mirror of keyserver.ubuntu.com? | 14:39 |
| trizicus | ActionParsnip: This problem is live cd related... The live cd doesn't work... How can I do it on a live cd when I am having nouveau errors? | 14:39 |
| koskos | tell me commands to do that plz | 14:39 |
| rww | iksik, Pici CVE-2010-0832 | 14:39 |
| iksik | rob_p hum, your user is not an owner of shadow after this? | 14:39 |
| koskos | python | 14:39 |
| rww | .. stupid paste key | 14:39 |
| cheater99 | and i'd change that to.. kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=UUID=91998c61-9582-4840-9ef9-5c467deaf1f8 ro quiet splash i8024.reset i8024.nomux=1 right? | 14:39 |
| ActionParsnip | trizicus: any ubunu livecd will do | 14:39 |
| indus | koskos, to do what , what do you want to install? | 14:39 |
| rww | iksik, Pici: CVE-2010-0832 looks fixed to me: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2010-July/001117.html | 14:39 |
| barfster | Is there a command line version of unetbootin? | 14:39 |
| ActionParsnip | cheater99: thats the one, try different combiniation | 14:39 |
| rob_p | iksik: Nope: rob@hostserver:~$ ls -l /etc/shadow | 14:39 |
| rob_p | -rw-r----- 1 root shadow 875 2010-02-05 03:30 /etc/shadow | 14:39 |
| cheater99 | ActionParsnip: different combination? | 14:40 |

| indus | koskos, any module in your home can be imported just by typing 'import modulename' | 14:42 |
| Pici | mnemoc: use pgp.mit.edu | 14:42 |
| trojan | hello | 14:43 |
| Tricks | I did indeed | 14:43 |
| barfster | apt-get install usb-disk-creator then? | 14:43 |
| === Ranjan_ is now known as Ranjan | ||
| mnemoc | Pici: the ppa-related key i want isn't there :( | 14:43 |
| rww | Pici: np. I knew there'd be a use to subscribing to ubuntu-security-annouce ;P | 14:43 |
| Dr_Willis | barfster: its in the default ubuntu system/admin menu | 14:43 |
| Tricks | blablubb, I'm wondering if I've missed a step though... | 14:43 |
| Anarchy7 | hey guys I just installed ubuntu and I was able to see 5-6 wireless networks, I rebooted now I see none :S | 14:43 |
| koskos | import: command not found | 14:43 |
| koskos | :( | 14:43 |
| koskos | md5 | 14:44 |
| indus | koskos, heh not possible :D | 14:44 |
| koskos | :( | 14:44 |
| rystraum | koskos: Are you in the python shell or in the regular shell? | 14:44 |
| indus | koskos, wait 1 sec | 14:44 |
| koskos | regular | 14:44 |
| koskos | brother | 14:44 |
| blablubb | Anarchy7: Is the wireless activated? | 14:44 |
| Pici | !enter | koskos | 14:44 |
| ubottu | koskos: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 14:44 |
| indus | koskos, you need to enter python shell | 14:44 |
| rob_p | iksik: I was mistaken! I was ssh'd into an older box when I tried it. On Ubuntu 10.04, it does indeed give the user ownership of /etc/shadow! WOW! | 14:44 |
| rystraum | koskos: import works within python. | 14:45 |
| koskos | ok | 14:45 |
| indus | koskos, type python in terminal | 14:45 |
| Anarchy7 | blablubb , yes I told you I was able to see 5-6 networds, I rebooted now I see none | 14:45 |
| koskos | done | 14:45 |
| indus | LEARN SOME PYTHON FIRST | 14:45 |
| iksik | rob_p :-) | 14:45 |
| Tricks | blablubb, is it because DNS can't resolve it's FQDN | 14:45 |
| indus | this is not the channel for that | 14:45 |
| Pici | rob_p: Please update. There was an update yesterday to fix this. | 14:45 |
| koskos | ImportError: No module named libhash | 14:45 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | hi all ! | 14:45 |
| rob_p | iksik: I'm glad I don't have 10.04 in production! | 14:45 |
| bobfcincinnati | can anyone reccomend a stats program that will let me open minitab *.mtw files? | 14:45 |
| blablubb | Anarchy7: Is the wireless still acticated _after_ the reboot? You can deactivate the wireless card from within the Desktop | 14:45 |
| Tricks | blablubb, do i need to make a entry for lingray.uk to point to my name server do you think? | 14:45 |
| rob_p | Pici: Will do! Thanks for the heads up! | 14:45 |
| indus | koskos, try #python | 14:45 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | couple of days back i did dist-upgrade from 9.10 to 10.4 now still have those old tray icons, thought they would be upgraded to the new one in lucid...can some one help me in this | 14:46 |
| iksik | rob_p AND 9.10 ? :-) | 14:46 |
| Anarchy7 | blablubb: I right clicked and I see wireless enabled ... also the wireless light is ON , on my computer | 14:46 |
| Pici | rob_p: It was also bugged in 9.10: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2010-July/001117.html | 14:46 |
| indus | koskos, http://www.ibiblio.org/g2swap/byteofpython/read/ | 14:47 |
| blablubb | Tricks: Ok, I thought that lingray.uk was your domain. You shouldn't use existing toplevel domains like .com .uk. Use something like .mine or .internal (not .local) instead. | 14:47 |
| Pici | koskos: The python help channel is #python | 14:47 |
| indus | koskos, if the module is not in your namespace, it wont import for custom modules | 14:47 |
| Tricks | blablubb, ok no worries | 14:47 |
| indus | koskos, there is no standard module called libhash | 14:47 |
| koskos | md5 | 14:48 |
| koskos | ? | 14:48 |
| koskos | maybe | 14:48 |
| koskos | sha this name ? | 14:48 |
| Anarchy7 | blablubb: yes the wireless is still active ... | 14:48 |
| Pici | koskos, indus: This isn't on-topic for this channel. #python would be the best place to continue this conversation. | 14:48 |
| koskos | i tryied to install this to hash brother but i dont get any | 14:48 |
| koskos | python | 14:49 |
| blablubb | Anarchy7: Try iwlist scan on the console. Did you do any updates before the reboot? | 14:49 |
| indus | Pici, ya i told him | 14:49 |
| barfster | sha1 and md5 are two different methods to do the same type of hash, the two hashes however are not the same | 14:49 |
| Anarchy7 | I just installed wubi 5 mins ago | 14:49 |
| Anarchy7 | fresh ... | 14:49 |

| koskos | yes this my dream | 14:50 |
| koskos | :) | 14:50 |
| koskos | learning learning untel i die | 14:50 |

| koskos | bad english:( | 14:50 |
| Anarchy7 | done | 14:50 |
| koskos | its my big problem | 14:50 |
| hotfloppy | guys, is GTK+ available from Ubuntu repo ? i tried 'apt-cache search gtk+ | grep gtk+' but no luck.. | 14:50 |
| Dr_Willis | om26er: You mean the logo on the appklications menu? | 14:50 |
| Misterio | om26er: why would you want do it? | 14:51 |
| azurephalanges | Just a quick question. Can I use a SD card instead of a USB pendrive in order to trial run Ubuntu? | 14:51 |
| om26er | Dr_Willis, yes | 14:51 |
| Anarchy7 | Interface doesnt sipport scanning | 14:51 |
| koskos | i learn english frist | 14:51 |
| indus | hotfloppy, its installed default and is an essential package i believe | 14:51 |
| rob_p | Pici: All patched now! | 14:51 |
| koskos | then python | 14:51 |
| Dr_Willis | azurephalanges: not all machines can boot from SD card. | 14:51 |
| koskos | perl | 14:51 |
| blablubb | Anarchy7: So you saw the wireless networks on Windows? | 14:51 |
| om26er | Misterio, cuz top panel dont resize to 22px | 14:51 |
| koskos | frist bash | 14:51 |
| azurephalanges | Netbook I'm looking at, basicallu | 14:51 |
| indus | info !GTK-2.0 | 14:51 |
| koskos | then python then perl | 14:51 |
| rob_p | iksik: Yeah, the latest updates fixes the vuln. | 14:51 |
| Misterio | om26er: that logo is gnome's theme logo | 14:51 |
| azurephalanges | and my USB pendrive is deader than a dodo | 14:51 |
| erUSUL | !info libgtk2.0 | 14:51 |

| Anarchy7 | blablubb: no on ubuntu just 5 mins ago on my first boot, I even tried to connect to one of them | 14:51 |
| Dr_Willis | om26er: ubuntu-tweak tool can let you change it. not sure about deleting it.. and there is some quirk where changeing it only works with some themes. | 14:51 |
| azurephalanges | ergo, SD card option | 14:51 |

| indus | isnt gtk required | 14:52 |
| rww | indus: no | 14:52 |
| blablubb | Anarchy7: Ok, did you run any upgrades that caused the reboot? I'm trying to figure out if an update could have broken the wireless. | 14:52 |
| indus | hmm i thought that draws all the windows | 14:52 |
| iksik | rob_p just downloading it now ;] | 14:52 |
| indus | in laymans terms | 14:52 |
| om26er | Dr_Willis, I could try using a smaller icon with ubuntu-teak maybe that will work | 14:52 |
| rww | indus: Windows aren't required to boot the OS. | 14:52 |
| dubey | hello | 14:52 |
| indus | rww, i mean after desktop | 14:53 |
| Dr_Willis | om26er: make an icon thats the same color as the panel :) | 14:53 |
| io | !hi | dubey | 14:53 |
| ubottu | dubey: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 14:53 |
| rww | indus: http://people.canonical.com/~cjwatson/ubuntu-policy/policy.html/ch-archive.html#s-priorities | 14:53 |
| rob_p | iksik: It was an eye opener to see it first-hand! :-) | 14:53 |
| rystraum | rww: I think indus meant drawing windows.. as in.. the application space. | 14:53 |
| rww | indus: the graphical desktop is also not required | 14:53 |
| om26er | Dr_Willis, u-tweak says the icon should be 24x24 :( | 14:53 |
| rww | rystraum: I know what he meant. He's confused about package priorities. | 14:53 |
| indus | rystraum, you understood me correct :) | 14:53 |
| Anarchy7 | blablubb: I just clicked edit connections and then it asked me something is trying to acces ... I said allow only once and then it kept me asking forever, I said deny, closed it a little bit difficult after a few times deny deny deny ... and then the networks werent there after the reboot | 14:54 |
| Dr_Willis | om26er: so? make a blank 24x24 icon. :) | 14:54 |
| hotfloppy | erUSUL , rww: so, the package name is libgtk2.0-0 or libgtk2.0-dev ? which one should i get to implement GUI in my program ? | 14:54 |
| vaibhav | Ranjan: Thanks a lot man.... | 14:54 |
| dubey | i am using ubuntu 10.04, when i tried to update my os e.g # sudo apt-get update i am getting GPG error and some error saying that Failed to fetch http://x.x.x.x | 14:54 |
| Dr_Willis | om26er: make it totally transparent. :) | 14:54 |
| Anarchy7 | now I clicked always allow but nothing changed ... | 14:54 |
| indus | rww, you mean on the desktop install, its not mandatory? | 14:54 |
| rww | indus: Package priorities have nothing to do with whether something is mandatory for the desktop install | 14:54 |
| erUSUL | hotfloppy: you need the -dev package to be able to program agains the library ( it has the header files and all the stuff ) | 14:54 |
| rww | indus: consider actually reading the link I gave you | 14:54 |
| === gb_ is now known as GaMeBoY | ||
| hotfloppy | erUSUL: thanks :) | 14:55 |
| datacrusher | is there a straight forward way to capture dv video via firewire on ubuntu? | 14:55 |
| dubey | what is the problem | 14:55 |
| indus | rww, who is talking about package priorities | 14:55 |
| datacrusher | anyone had success doing that? | 14:55 |
| erUSUL | hotfloppy: if you are using C. if you use some other language you need the correct bindings | 14:55 |
| rww | indus: you, when you expressed surprise about ubottu saying "is optional" | 14:55 |
| blablubb | Anarchy7: That was the password manager that saves the wireless passwords. You should "always allow" the network manager to access the password manager. | 14:56 |
| rystraum | Anyone knows how I can turn off the IRC status changes (entering, leaving, etc.)? It | 14:56 |
| om26er | !resetpanel | 14:56 |
| ubottu | To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 14:56 |
| barfster | Installing new machine now. | 14:56 |
| indus | rww, ah yes , i read the link , but optional is meant in a different sense | 14:56 |
| rww | indus: that's what the bot means; it has optional package priority | 14:56 |
| Dr_Willis | rystraum: totally depends on your irc client | 14:56 |
| erUSUL | rystraum: depneds on the irc client | 14:56 |
| blablubb | Anarchy7: Let me have a look how to restore that. | 14:56 |
| ubnuntu_giant | Hello. Still having trouble with my graphics card. I have every driver under the sun compatible with my graphics card installed. When I go into System -> Administration -> Hadrware Drivers and click "Activate," the application downloads and then just hangs. Anyone else having this problem? | 14:56 |
| dubey | anyone ? | 14:56 |
| rystraum | ... Stupid ENTER key. I was supposed to type I'm using Pidgin as my IRC client. | 14:56 |
| rww | indus: not when ubottu says it in !info listings, it doesn't | 14:56 |
| hotfloppy | erUSUL: if i'm using, lets say code::block, do i need to do the binding manually ? | 14:57 |
| indus | rww, if you read my comment , i said its essential from a desktop perspective, not what a package priority means | 14:57 |
| tuliohm | hi people, i'm configuring my gmail with evolution client, but i can't set it up to only delete mails from the server if i delete them locally. | 14:57 |
| erUSUL | hotfloppy: code::block is for c++ isn't it ? and it uses wxwindows not gtk+ ? | 14:57 |
| rww | indus: You asked why libgtk+ is optional. The only message that used the term "optional" before you was ubottu. I was explaining why ubottu said it was optional. | 14:58 |
| Damien123 | Enter text here... | 14:58 |

| Damien123 | is there anyone here that can help me fix my mic on ubuntu it works on xp, i have capture turned up i can hear the mic but it wont record | 14:59 |
| hotfloppy | erUSUL: nope.. got an error about gtk.h or something like that when compiling.. | 15:00 |

| ubnuntu_giant | WARNING: modinfo for module fglrx failed: ERROR: modinfo: could not find module fglrx | 15:00 |
| indus | rww, but my question is, on a desktop install gtk will be required or not | 15:00 |
| rystraum | Damien: When you say you have capture turned up and you can hear it, is that on Ubuntu? | 15:00 |
| usr13 | Damien123: What application are you using to record? | 15:00 |
| erUSUL | hotfloppy: install the mentioned libgtk2.0-dev | 15:00 |
| ubnuntu_giant | fglrx is another module at some spots. | 15:00 |
| usr13 | Damien123: Audacity? | 15:00 |
| rww | indus: GTK+ is installed by default on Ubuntu Deskop, yes. | 15:00 |

| indus | ActionParsnip, hi , but also gtg so bye, good day | 15:01 |
| rystraum | indus, rww: I think you're talking about the term optional in two different context (rww in package management and indus in desktop) and thus miscommunicated. | 15:01 |
| Damien123 | audicity is a sound recorder, and the orgi | 15:01 |
| usr13 | Damien123: Try Audacity | 15:01 |
| Damien123 | yes | 15:01 |

| Damien123 | no levels | 15:02 |

| usr13 | Damien123: And audacity will not record from mic? Is it just that mic is muted or turned down to low? | 15:05 |
| blablubb | Tricks: You don't need a full stop. If there isn't one, bind will add what is after "ORIGIN" to the hostname. | 15:05 |
| Damien123 | got all set right | 15:06 |
| Anarchy7 | weird I switched to windows and no networks here as well :S | 15:06 |

| Tricks | blablubb, shouldn't there be a DNS entry so any requests made to lingray.internal goes to my internal DNS server | 15:10 |
| slav | hello :) | 15:10 |
| blablubb | Tricks: In the named.conf (or somethimes named.conf.local) you tell Bind that it is reponsible for lingray.internal and where to find the zone file. There should be a paragraph starting with "zone "lingary.internal" in {" | 15:10 |
| bihari | yes there is no one which supports voice chat in rooms | 15:11 |

| Tricks | blablubb, ah so that's how bind knows | 15:11 |
| barfster | ActionParsnip: You are suggesting I should use the MiniCD and install on the memory stick? | 15:11 |
| ActionParsnip | barfster: if you want to go even lower, use gentoo | 15:11 |
| dubey | ActionParsnip : http://pastebin.com/spam.php?i=6ZDixrsX | 15:12 |
| rystraum | usr13: barfster wants to make a bootable external device via CLI. | 15:12 |
| barfster | And the memory stick should then be bootable from anywhere? | 15:12 |
| blablubb | Tricks: Yes, the clients know by asking their nameserver. Which in this case should be the same machine where your bind is running on. | 15:12 |
| usr13 | rystraum: Ok, sorry. I missunderstood. | 15:12 |

| [T]ank | Guest47854: have you fixed it yet? | 15:46 |
| Guest47854 | no | 15:46 |

| gorgapor | MTecknology, do you just need the command line parameters? that's just import sys; sys.argv | 15:47 |
| ulziibuyan | erUSUL: will try, thank you. | 15:47 |
| gokul | ya coz | 15:47 |

| coz_ | gokul, ok if you follow the instructions I gave you the gdm or logon screen will change | 15:47 |
| gorgapor | MTecknology, oh, you want the parameters for a command you didn't write | 15:47 |
| rww | MTecknology: "ps aux" should show it? | 15:47 |
| MTecknology | rww: thanks | 15:47 |
| coz_ | gokul, you must choose a theme even though it will seem like you are chainging window themes you will not be | 15:48 |
| erUSUL | MTecknology: well yes; ps should able to print the command line used to launch a process in most cases | 15:48 |
| phretor | how to kill defunct processes | 15:49 |
| rystraum | Mtecknology: If 'ps aux' is too much, you can parse it by piping it to grep. Example: "ps aux | grep gnome-*" should show all processes that has "gnome-", in its name. | 15:50 |

| phretor | erUSUL: ok, I will kill the partent. | 15:52 |
| erUSUL | phretor: if the parent process is init ( that means the parent process was already killed ) then a reboot is the only way | 15:52 |

| th1 | erUSUL, thanks I'll give then a try | 15:55 |

| coz_ | th1, I could be wrong however since I dont do dvd authoring | 15:55 |

| iceroot | M4mb0K|nG: so ig lucid is using 2.6.32 (dont know) you will never see 2.6.33 in the normal repos | 15:55 |
| erUSUL | coz_: you were right :P | 15:56 |
| coz_ | erUSUL, cool | 15:56 |
| M4mb0K|nG | that sucks, I'll have to see if there's a repo out there that provide kernel updates | 15:56 |

| M4mb0K|nG | iceroot: true | 15:57 |
| iceroot | M4mb0K|nG: is there a reason you need 2.6.33? | 15:57 |
| M4mb0K|nG | yeah drbd is built-in to the 2.6.33 and up | 15:57 |
| M4mb0K|nG | i just didn't want to go through the hassel of compiling it in myself | 15:57 |
| barfster | How can I quit the installer after baseinstall, but still run GRUB`?? | 15:58 |
| M4mb0K|nG | its much nicer and more reliable when its built right in | 15:58 |
| machete | hello, I am still having problems with my connection | 15:58 |
| iceroot | M4mb0K|nG: its also build for older kernels like 2.6.26 and 2.6.30 if i am correct | 15:58 |
| M4mb0K|nG | also supported | 15:58 |
| machete | Anyone has some spare time to help me out with this? | 15:58 |
| iceroot | M4mb0K|nG: have a look at a ppa or backports for 2.6.33 | 15:58 |

| iceroot | darksider: this is #ubuntu | 16:01 |
| machete | whitor, nothing | 16:01 |
| darksider | iceroot, oops..sorry i thought it was another server | 16:01 |
| machete | and I cannot download stuff neither | 16:01 |
| Whitor | machete, you are downloading IRC data right now :) | 16:01 |
| machete | I cannot use synaptic same issues | 16:01 |
| darksider | iceroot, i have 3 servers open and didn't realise i was on the wrong one + wrong channel. | 16:01 |
| darksider | iceroot, please don't spank me =[ | 16:01 |
| Whitor | machete, it seems like your port 80 communications are being filtered somehow | 16:01 |
| machete | well, I am telling you I cannot use the software manager nor apt-get nor synaptic | 16:02 |
| andyltm | machete - backup your entire config folder (for instance - mv ~/.epiphany ~/.ephiphany.old) and then erase your config folder for that program (i.e., rm -rf ~/.epiphany) and then open the app again as it will be able to start with default settings. Do not mistype the rm cmd as mistakes can be rather costly. | 16:02 |
| barfster | Is there a how to of the menu options in the installer? | 16:02 |
| andyltm | See if the browser works with default settings upon completing these steps. | 16:02 |
| barfster | Particularly interested in if there are any hidden options | 16:02 |
| Whitor | machete, have you installed any firewall software recently? | 16:02 |

| Pici | barfster: Which one? The graphical one from te Live CD? | 16:03 |

| mmestnik | This issue(how to invoke a browser from another application) effects a lot of applications. | 16:03 |
| machete | whitor, nothing | 16:03 |
| andyltm | snr1: Begin troubleshooting your connections to each and every source location listed in /etc/apt/sources.list | 16:03 |
| barfster | I really don’t need the stuff after base install completes. | 16:04 |
| machete | I didn't do anything crazy, I just updated | 16:04 |
| snr1 | andyltm: | 16:04 |
| snr1 | ok | 16:04 |
| ohir | barfster: how much RAM this laptop has? | 16:04 |
| Whitor | machete, does lynx work ? | 16:04 |
| mmestnik | It should therefore have some documentation attached to it, like a maintainers guide. | 16:04 |
| machete | I couldn't get lynx | 16:04 |
| barfster | "Select and install software" is an extra distance AFAIK | 16:04 |
| machete | I told you apt doesn't work | 16:04 |
| bobbytek2 | how can I detect if my cpu / installation is 32 bit | 16:04 |
| andyltm | machete: You are connected to FreeNode IRC Network using the same machine that fails to function using apt/web browsers? | 16:04 |

| CaptainTrek | machete: what version of ubuntu? | 16:05 |
| mmestnik | The first question is, where is this maintainers guide and does it spell out the correct syntax? | 16:05 |
| CaptainTrek | out of curiosity | 16:05 |
| Pici | barfster: You'll want to look at the debian-installer package then. That is what powers the text based installers. | 16:05 |
| Whitor | CaptainTrek, good question, thanks | 16:05 |
| CaptainTrek | Whitor: :) | 16:05 |
| snr1 | andyltm: How to do the troubleshooting ? | 16:05 |
| barfster | Pici: But it’s all menues right after GRUB loading | 16:05 |

| Whitor | CaptainTrek, yes | 16:06 |
| machete | whitor I did as you told me about erasing the .mozilla folder | 16:06 |
| machete | and it still doesn't work | 16:06 |
| mmestnik | The second question is, my application got it wrong, is there a way I can close this bug or attach my app to it? | 16:06 |
| Whitor | machete, I didn't tell you to erase any folders ... that was someone else | 16:06 |
| mmestnik | s/close/clone/ | 16:06 |
| andyltm | snr1: Some very simple ways to test would be to take a url from your sources.list and plug it into your web browser. See if it works. If it does, it is not a connection/network/routing issue, and instead, may be an issue with your system configuration, most likely, specific to apt. | 16:06 |
| ohir | barfster: your cdreader on that machine likely has dirt on its lens | 16:06 |
| machete | CaptainTrek 10.04 | 16:06 |
| bobbytek2 | abhi_nav: it doesn't specify in uname though | 16:06 |
| CaptainTrek | ... | 16:06 |
| andyltm | snr1: If it does not work in the browser, then the next step woudl be to see if you can even ping the source server. | 16:06 |
| barfster | It’s a Compaq Aramada M700 | 16:06 |
| abhi_nav | bobbytek2, that surly means you didnt completly read that guide. | 16:07 |
| CaptainTrek | machete: and you say apt-get doesnt work... | 16:07 |
| Pici | mmestnik: I'm not exactly sure what you are asking, but at least for the second part the best place to ask would be #ubuntu-bugs | 16:07 |
| machete | well, anyways, I did it and the default config was reatored | 16:07 |
| machete | yes I say so | 16:07 |
| machete | I cannot download lynx | 16:07 |
| andyltm | snr1: If that fails, then the next step woudl be to run a traceroute and see if there is something blocking. If there is something not reachign then it is a temporary routing issue. If it does not fail then there may be some sort of issue with the ports/firewall. | 16:07 |
| Pici | barfster: Okay? Maybe I misunderstand what you are asking then. | 16:07 |
| CaptainTrek | machete: was this a clean install or an in-place upgrade | 16:07 |
| Pici | !enter | machete | 16:07 |
| ubottu | machete: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 16:07 |

| amikrop | monochrome: so, could you help me, please? | 16:17 |
| monochrome | amikrop: i think its the video card | 16:18 |
| machete | maybe I'm stupid,... but how come this happened right after I updated | 16:18 |
| Whitor | machete, are you sure you moved the correct cable ? | 16:18 |
| monochrome | amikrop: what card are you using | 16:18 |
| Vroomfondle | grub: only if there's a backport available (looks like there isn't, at first glance) | 16:18 |
| Araneidae | Hum. `usb-creator-gtk` produces one message: "Installation failed." | 16:18 |
| andyltm | machete: are you connected to irc through the computer that is having web connectivity issues? | 16:18 |
| machete | yes whitor, I am 100% sure | 16:18 |
| machete | I even rebooted the modem | 16:18 |
| machete | I have no conectivity issues | 16:18 |
| Whitor | andyltm, he is | 16:18 |
| grub | Vroomfondle: that sucks. So I gotta compile? | 16:18 |
| abhi_nav | bobbytek2, if your uname -a contain x86-64 then os is 64bit otherwise not | 16:18 |
| ohir | machete: can you connect to http://157.166.226.25 | 16:18 |
| machete | I have an extra computer with ubuntu 9.10 which works just fine | 16:18 |
| amikrop | monochrome: nVidia GeForce FX Go5650 | 16:19 |
| machete | ohir, it connected to cnn | 16:19 |
| ohir | machete: so look for misconfigured DNS | 16:19 |
| Vroomfondle | grub: ah, there is a PPA: https://launchpad.net/~svn/+archive/ppa | 16:19 |
| andyltm | machete: Then your DNS settings are off... | 16:19 |
| Vroomfondle | much newer packages | 16:19 |
| somethinginteres | hi all, I'm running firefox 3.6.6 and after the upgrade through the update manager flash videos do not appear. For example a youtube video page simply remains white where the video should be. Has anyone else experienced this? | 16:19 |
| bobbytek2 | abhi_nav: thanks :) | 16:19 |
| Vroomfondle | looks like karmic is supported by one of them | 16:19 |
| Whitor | machete, so, Modem-------Computer does not work at all? | 16:19 |
| andyltm | machete: Please view /etc/resolv.conf and replace it with better NS. | 16:19 |
| ohir | machete: either your router's dhcpd lies, or you have bad /etc/resolv.conf | 16:20 |
| Whitor | ohir, its not DNS ... he can't connect via ip either | 16:20 |
| andyltm | machete: 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, 4.2.2.1, etc. are great NS servers for public use. | 16:20 |
| abhi_nav | bobbytek2, hmm | 16:20 |
| ohir | Whitor: machete> ohir, it connected to cnn | 16:20 |
| machete | I changed that a likie half an hour ago cause somebody suggeted it and still have issues | 16:20 |
| grub | thanks Vroomfondle! | 16:20 |
| VCoolio | grub: what about this ppa https://launchpad.net/~svn/+archive/ppa | 16:20 |
| grub | Vroomfondle: i'll give it a try :) | 16:20 |
| lfaraone | Are ubuntu seeds germinated using apt-get or aptitude? | 16:20 |
| VCoolio | grub: ah, someone beat me | 16:20 |
| grub | VCoolio: yep, Vroomfondle just linked ;) | 16:20 |
| machete | what do I do now? add nameserver 8.8.4.4 to resolv.conf ? | 16:20 |
| Whitor | ohir, my apologies ... it looks like it must be DNS | 16:20 |
| rootperm | anyone know how to change /root to 755 and if that will damage my ubuntu system? | 16:20 |
| somethinginteres | fixed by disabling VLC plugin | 16:20 |
| grub | VCoolio: thanks though :) | 16:20 |
| ohir | andyltm: many ISPs block not their DNS servers | 16:21 |
| andyltm | ohir: Ooh, I did not know that. That is mean restrictive. :o | 16:21 |
| ohir | andyltm: in many countries isps are forced to do so | 16:21 |
| machete | what do I do so the changes work? I just checked resolv.conf and the changes I had done aren't there anymore | 16:22 |
| machete | 8.8.8.8 doesn't appear | 16:22 |
| andyltm | machete: They were modified by the dhcp client. | 16:22 |
| rootperm | anyone know how to change /root to 755 and if that will damage my ubuntu system? | 16:22 |
| machete | what should I do? | 16:23 |
| luyuc218 | hao do do | 16:23 |
| ohir | machete: start with copying /etc/resolv.conf from that other (workin) machine | 16:23 |
| bobbytek2 | is it not advised to install red hat packages via alien on ubuntu? | 16:23 |
| abhi_nav | bobbytek2, no | 16:24 |
| ohir | machete: next check your home router settings | 16:24 |
| abhi_nav | !rpm | bobbytek2 | 16:24 |
| ubottu | bobbytek2: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 16:24 |
| ohir | machete: dns addresses come from dhcp assignment | 16:24 |
| andyltm | machete: Ok, you have several options. | 16:24 |
| GonardFreeman | hi, anybody know what ports, i need to open(trigger and normal, i have ADSL bridge) to play badcmopany 2? | 16:24 |
| andyltm | machete: 1) You could create or find a daemon that monitors any changes made to resolv.conf and immediately replaces with the original settings. (Rating: Moderate-Hard) | 16:25 |
| rootperm | GonardFreeman: 27015 TCP for steam i think, probably more | 16:25 |
| ohir | machete: check your ISP yell forums about preffered DNSes | 16:25 |
| machete | ohir there's not such thing | 16:25 |
| rootperm | anyone know how to change /root to 755 and if that will damage my ubuntu system? | 16:25 |
| andyltm | machete: 2) You could install resolvconf and set your settings in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base (Rating: hard) | 16:25 |
| GonardFreeman | i have non steam, but licence game | 16:26 |
| ohir | machete: as resolv.conf or router? | 16:26 |
| andyltm | machete: The #2 thing, though, can be made much simpler if you go through your apt sources.list and change every DNS to an IP OR... | 16:26 |
| andyltm | machete2: you can add each source to your /etc/hosts file so they autoresolve using that... and thus will not require nS | 16:26 |
| machete | what about just replacing my resolv.conf for the one which works ini the other computer? | 16:26 |
| Dr_Willis | rootperm: shouldent break anything. but why are you needing to do this? | 16:26 |
| andyltm | machete: Finally, a simpler option may be to modify the NS settings in your actual router which may be easier. | 16:26 |
| rootperm | Dr_Willis: i need a non-root program to access a directory in the /root directory | 16:27 |
| ohir | machete: you can do it. It will get overwritten each time dhcp sets it | 16:27 |
| andyltm | machete: As I had explained above, using resolvconf can free you from the DHCP client changing your /etc/resolv.conf | 16:27 |
| minderaser | When I'm use the keyboard to switch between workspaces the active window on the workspace I'm on gets dragged along to the next workspace. Where is a setting that controls this? I've never seen that happen before. | 16:27 |
| Dr_Willis | rootperm: I cant imagine why - but 755 will just give read permissions i belive. Unless the app is ran as root. | 16:27 |
| andyltm | machete: And in order to install/download resolvconf, all you need to do is either change all the hostnames in the sources.list to IPs or add everyhostname from sources.list into your /etc/hosts so they autoresolve w/o need of external NS. | 16:28 |
| rootperm | Dr_Willis: okay, thanks (couldn't move the files, they are in use) | 16:28 |
| ohir | machete: you should though figure out real cause of disappearing resolv.conf | 16:28 |
| Dr_Willis | rootperm: you an always use links 'ln -s' :) | 16:28 |
| machete | andyltm but I cannot use synaptic | 16:28 |
| andyltm | machete: Actually, I am an idiot. | 16:28 |
| machete | andyltm but I cannot use synaptic | 16:28 |
| machete | ?? | 16:28 |
| andyltm | machete: Just temporarily put your resolv.conf back (with nameserver 8.8.8.8) | 16:28 |
| rootperm | Dr_Willis: i'll have to pick up a book at the library for that | 16:28 |
| andyltm | machete: run sudo apt-get update - and then sudo apt-get install resolvconf | 16:29 |
| andyltm | machete: synaptici will work with ur temporary resolv.conf right? | 16:29 |
| Dr_Willis | I think he will be back.. after breaking his system badly.. :) | 16:29 |
| machete | apt-get install resolvconf | 16:29 |
| ohir | machete: the short way is to copy working resolv.conf to /etc/resolv.conf.working and put 'cp /etc/resolv.conf.working /etc/resolv.conf' in your rc.local | 16:29 |
| andyltm | wait what is synaptic, aren't u using aptitude neway btw lol | 16:29 |
| andai | What's the fastest way to shrink the partition ubuntu is running on | 16:30 |
| abhi_nav | GonardFreeman, what is steam? | 16:30 |
| TheFaioli | I need help with preventing a device from being identified as hidraw | 16:30 |
| maco | machete: i think my short way would be a one-time filesystem hack... "sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf" ... it cant be deleted if its immutable | 16:30 |
| andai | i.e. without downloading the latest ubuntu release, burning it, starting it up... | 16:30 |
| Dr_Willis | andai: live cd with gparted. is the best way ive found. | 16:30 |
| ohir | machete: yes, apt-get will work once working ns are to be found | 16:30 |
| TheFaioli | on Lucid 2.2.6.32-22-generic | 16:30 |
| minderaser | How can I stop the active window coming along when I switch workspaces? | 16:30 |
| Dr_Willis | andai: you normally dont resize in use partitions | 16:31 |
| machete | ohir, apt-get just worked | 16:31 |
| andai | Dr_Willis: Yeah. What's the fastest way (i have crap internet) to a Live CD | 16:31 |
| GonardFreeman | abhi_nav: this is service for game | 16:31 |
| ohir | maco: good tip | 16:31 |
| GonardFreeman | games* | 16:31 |
| Dr_Willis | andai: thers 10mb live cd's you can install gparted on. | 16:31 |
| abhi_nav | GonardFreeman, is it paid service or free? | 16:31 |
| andyltm | machete: Ok, now that you have installed resolvconf, please use a great TXT editor like nano and type 'nano /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d./base' | 16:31 |
| andyltm | machete: int htat file that is where u can put the ns settings u want to always use | 16:31 |
| Dr_Willis | andai: tinycorelinux and it can download/instasll gparted as needed. ubuntu live cd may have it allready also. (or can install it to ram) | 16:31 |
| TheFaioli | Tried to ignore it modprobe.conf, modprobe.d and /etc/udev/rules.d ... nothing works... | 16:31 |
| karl | ¿ÉÒÔ´òÖÐÎÄÂð? | 16:31 |
| RFleming | Greetings! | 16:31 |
| andai | Dr_Willis Hmm.. i'll try tinycore | 16:31 |
| andai | Dr_Willis: Does tinycore have a GUI? :P | 16:32 |
| Dr_Willis | andai: you are on wired or wireless networking>? | 16:32 |
| RFleming | I'm runing squid 2, dansguardian and sarg | 16:32 |
| GonardFreeman | abhi_nav: program, not paid, but games u need to purchase) | 16:32 |
| Dr_Willis | andai: it has X. yes. | 16:32 |
| abhi_nav | GonardFreeman, ok | 16:32 |
| andai | Dr_Willis: LAN | 16:32 |
| RFleming | sarg works without a hitch, but sarg-reports doesn't seem to generate a thing. | 16:32 |
| GonardFreeman | abhi_nav: how u address messeges to me?) | 16:32 |
| Dr_Willis | andai: wired should work fine. It dosent come with any wireless drivers. :) thats part of why its so small | 16:32 |
| abhi_nav | !tab | GonardFreeman | 16:32 |
| ubottu | GonardFreeman: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 16:32 |
| andai | Dr_Willis lol if linux is smaller than wlan drivers :D | 16:33 |
| GonardFreeman | !tab | abhi_nav testing) | 16:33 |
| ubottu | abhi_nav testing): You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 16:33 |
| Dr_Willis | andai: wireless drivers package for TinyCore is like another 20 mb. | 16:33 |
| andai | :D | 16:33 |
| abhi_nav | :) | 16:33 |
| andai | Dr_Willis Does it install to USB? | 16:33 |
| andai | ahh it does | 16:34 |
| GonardFreeman | i'm so stupid( | 16:34 |
| abhi_nav | thats why you are here. :) | 16:34 |
| GonardFreeman | ))\ | 16:34 |
| * abhi_nav was joking | 16:34 | |
| andai | haha | 16:35 |
| GonardFreeman | were i can find manual? | 16:35 |
| abhi_nav | !manual | 16:35 |
| ubottu | 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/ | 16:35 |
| GonardFreeman | or FAQ | 16:35 |
| abhi_nav | GonardFreeman, ^^ | 16:35 |
| Araneidae | For what it's worth, for me usb-creator-gtk fails miserably and without any error messages, but unetbootin worked just fine. | 16:36 |
| GonardFreeman | i know good place with many FAQs : google.com) | 16:37 |
| abhi_nav | 16:37 | |
| ubottu | While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 16:37 |
| abhi_nav | :P | 16:37 |
| chenwenbo | hello everyone! | 16:37 |
| Araneidae | ubottu, hear bloody hear ! | 16:37 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 16:37 |
| andai | Dr_Willis: [ insert curse words here ] !!! Tinycore booted in like 5 seconds | 16:37 |
| andai | Dr_Willis: I need something more like this for my mum's crappy laptop (more like this than like ubuntu) all she uses is Firefox anyway | 16:38 |
| chenwenbo | +_+ | 16:39 |
| razz1 | how to open the noip2 gui, when I run sudo /usr/local/bin/noip2, it says cannot locate config file!!, | 16:39 |
| Dr_Willis | andai: its handy. but You have to learn how to use it. | 16:40 |
| CaptainTrek | is there any kind of tool i could use to detect what wireless accesspoints are nearby my system? | 16:40 |
| Dr_Willis | andai: its got a different sort of design goals then most disrtos | 16:40 |
| andai | Dr_Willis: haha it's downloading like all the gnome dependencies just for gparted | 16:41 |
| CaptainTrek | because i'm trying to find an alternative access point to connect with, and I cant find any (the system picks the strongest signal, which also happens to be having issues with my bandwidth) | 16:41 |
| yehia | hi guys - iam trying to join Eterm channel - but i cant - do you know how ? | 16:41 |
| abhi_nav | CaptainTrek, yes there are. wifi radar and rutil wlan manager | 16:41 |
| Dr_Willis | andai: thats how it works. You could of used 'parted' and the command line | 16:41 |
| abhi_nav | yehia, which channel? | 16:42 |
| CaptainTrek | abhi_nav: are either in the repos, or can you tell me where to download/purchase? | 16:42 |
| * GonardFreeman think get it0 | 16:42 | |
| yehia | abhi_nav : Eterm | 16:42 |
| abhi_nav | CaptainTrek, they are there in repo. search in ufc. | 16:42 |
| abhi_nav | yehia, you mean #eterm? | 16:42 |
| * GonardFreeman fibd good manul | 16:42 | |
| yehia | abhi_nav: yes | 16:42 |

| CaptainTrek | thanks abhi_nav, i'll take a look at those | 16:43 |
| abhi_nav | CaptainTrek, hmm | 16:43 |
| abhi_nav | GonardFreeman, :P | 16:43 |
| yehia | its some other enviroment for linux | 16:43 |
| Dr_Willis | !enlightment | 16:44 |
| Dr_Willis | Eterm is part of the Enlightment 'desktop' stuff. :) | 16:44 |
| abhi_nav | ok | 16:44 |
| Cheaterguy | Gents, I require som help with the MySQL server on Ubuntu Server 10.04. Feel free to PM me if you're willing to help. | 16:44 |
| venik | I have two folders in home/user: .mozilla-thunderbird and .thunderbird Both have mail in them and all the rest of it. Which one do I actually need/use? Changing Chrome in either of them does nothing... ;-) | 16:45 |
| FireTalon | Does anyone know any software like norton ghost that runs in linux, but IS NOT a live cd? I need something installable | 16:45 |
| oCean_ | Cheaterguy: why not keep your question(s) in the channel? More eyes to watch = probably better result | 16:45 |

| ezraw | Cheaterguy: you try #mysql? | 16:46 |
| Dr_Willis | FireTalon: theres several 'drive cloning' tools out there. you could een use 'dd' depending on your needs | 16:46 |
| andyltm | Cheaterguy: If you want private help, ,please be ready to pay $$ :) | 16:46 |
| abhi_nav | venik, i remember i only copied the one starting with .mozilla thats what I done. not sure | 16:46 |
| Cheaterguy | oCean_, Right... good point. Sorry about that. | 16:46 |
| abhi_nav | venik, and it was worked for me. :P | 16:46 |
| Cheaterguy | andyltm: True... Sorry about that. | 16:46 |
| FireTalon | well, its going to be used for an image server, ie, will have 12 servers at different locations, dd wont work, need something with a gui be it ncurses or gtk | 16:47 |
| Cheaterguy | ezraw, I have not... I'll get to that. | 16:47 |
| FireTalon | ive seen g4l, and clonezilla, but both are livecd's | 16:47 |
| venik | both seem to have mail with today's date in them... | 16:47 |
| Dr_Willis | FireTalon: that dosent mean they ONLY come on a live cd. both are installable in ubuntu. | 16:47 |
| Dr_Willis | !info clonezilla | 16:47 |
| ubottu | Package clonezilla does not exist in lucid | 16:47 |
| FireTalon | problem is, i cant find the installers | 16:47 |
| FireTalon | every download link is to the livecd | 16:48 |
| Dr_Willis | check the package manager tools | 16:48 |
| FireTalon | ive looked for threedays before I decided to ask | 16:48 |
| barfster | Pici: expert mode has this option | 16:48 |
| barfster | Pici: Command line expert mode | 16:48 |
| Dr_Willis | FireTalon: are you wanting to just clone a drive? to image? move to another hd? or what exactly>? | 16:49 |
| Cheaterguy | My only problem is, being an extremely inexperienced Linux user, I would like to be able to administrate my MySQL server remotely (through a GUI) rather than through my server's SSH commandline. Unfortunately, it's refusing my connection. | 16:49 |
| CaptainTrek | abhi_nav: and I need to leave Wifi Radar online for it to function? | 16:49 |
| Puffcio | hi :) does anyone know how to boost my microphone ? | 16:49 |
| co_btm | guys,my usbmodem autoconnects to ttyUSB5 (which is wrong according to its manual), how to connect it to another ttyUSBx? | 16:49 |
| machete | is there a way to figure out what were my latest updates? | 16:49 |
| abhi_nav | CaptainTrek, yes wifi button should be on. obviously? | 16:49 |
| ezraw | Cheaterguy: is port 3306 open? | 16:49 |
| machete | maybe I get to find some info on whatever is not working there? | 16:49 |
| CaptainTrek | abhi_nav: i meant should I keep the WiFi Radar PROGRAM running | 16:50 |
| CaptainTrek | abhi_nav: i dont use a hardware switch for the wifi card :P | 16:50 |
| abhi_nav | CaptainTrek, I think yes try it | 16:50 |
| CaptainTrek | :) | 16:50 |
| CaptainTrek | ty | 16:50 |
| Cheaterguy | ezraw, so far I'm only doing it from within the LAN, so I doubt that is an issue (Port 22 isn't open, but SSH works) | 16:50 |
| FireTalon | well, these are going to a computer store, say I have a dell dimension e520 that needs windows reloaded for a customer. If I have the image from a good install, I can just place it on the machine with a blank drive and im finished | 16:51 |
| FireTalon | just like norton ghost | 16:51 |
| andyltm | Cheaterguy: huh | 16:51 |
| FireTalon | but norton ghost wont work due to cost | 16:51 |
| FireTalon | so opensource is the only approved method | 16:51 |
| ezraw | Cheaterguy: so the first things I would do are confirm 3306 is open, then make sure your mysql user is allowed to connect from yourIP | 16:51 |
| barfster | How does debtree work? Does it show the dependencies recursively( include dependencies of dependencies and so on)? | 16:52 |
| FireTalon | but the main problem is im not going to be at the other 12 stores at the same time, and half the people using them are not the brightest in the bunch, so command line is out of the question | 16:52 |
| afief | I'm trying to install sun-java6-jre, but it appears to no longer be in the repository. it there another place to get it? | 16:52 |
| bazhang | afief, enable the partner repo | 16:52 |
| bazhang | !partner | afief | 16:52 |
| ubottu | afief: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 16:52 |
| ronpiterman | hi - am trying to set menu icons to show in 10.4 - but can not find how ? | 16:52 |
| Dr_Willis | FireTalon: mondo/mindi lets you burn/make a 'disk' set that boots and restores a given image to a machine. | 16:53 |
| FireTalon | partimage MIGHT work, if it will image an entire windows 7 drive including the hidden partition and allow it to go back to a target drive at the same time | 16:53 |
| Dr_Willis | FireTalon: theres proberly other tools out there that can do that as well | 16:53 |
| FireTalon | hrmm | 16:53 |
| FireTalon | mondo | 16:53 |
| Cheaterguy | ezraw, Sounds fair. Is there a quick and easy way to test the port or do I need to get nmap? As for allowed connection, which file are those directives kept in? | 16:53 |
| MaMoUs | is there a program designed to monitor and record all the activity on your computer | 16:53 |
| Dr_Willis | FireTalon: you can 'dd' a whole hard drive to a file.. then dd it back. buit thasts hard core. :) | 16:54 |
| ezraw | Cheaterguy: telnet DOMAIN 3306 | 16:54 |
| racethesunlive | MaMoUs: i use htop | 16:54 |
| MaMoUs | racethesunlive: is it graphic mode ? | 16:54 |
| Cheaterguy | ezraw, ye olde telnet. I'll get on it. | 16:54 |
| TrishaCornelius | Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me. A Costa Rican friend who can't speak any English asked me for help changing her computer's language (currently running XP) from English to Spanish. But it looks like to do that she would need to buy a copy of XP. Since she is not exactly rolling in cash - I thought maybe installing ubuntu would be a good idea. So I have a couple of questions:Firstly: Is there a Spanish version? Secondly: How | 16:54 |
| FireTalon | yeah, I use it where I am, but I can forget trying to show someone else how to do it | 16:54 |
| ezraw | Cheaterguy: in mysql, in the mysql table, select * from users, and see if your user has the domain set to localhost | 16:55 |
| MaMoUs | racethesunlive: so i can monitor what my kid are doing ? | 16:55 |
| ezraw | Cheaterguy: % means anyhost | 16:55 |
| ronpiterman | hi - am trying to set menu icons to show in 10.4 - but can not find how ? | 16:55 |
| FireTalon | mondo only works for linux and bsd filesystems | 16:55 |
| afief | bazhang, thanks, funny that there is no button in kubuntu's guy to enable it | 16:55 |
| rww | TrishaCornelius: 1) your message got cut off at "Secondly: Ho", 2) yes, you can pick the language when you boot the install CD | 16:55 |

| TrishaCornelius | Hi rww: How easy is Ubuntu to use for someone who has a low level of computer literacy? | 16:56 |
| bazhang | spvensko_, finch | 16:56 |
| Dr_Willis | TrishaCornelius: my wife can use it. | 16:56 |

| abhi_nav | ?? | 16:56 |
| MaMoUs | racethesunlive: ?? | 16:57 |
| TrishaCornelius | Ok cool....Thanks, I'm just nervous of throwing someone in the deep end. I don't think windows is that easy to use but people get used to it | 16:57 |
| Cheaterguy | ezraw, the telnet returns "EHost '<my IP>'' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server | 16:57 |
| Cheaterguy | " and kills my connection | 16:57 |
| [T]ank | anyone here successful adding music to your iphone using ubuntu? | 16:57 |
| racethesunlive | MaMoUs: its like task manager but for linux | 16:57 |
| eoke | TrishaCornelius: I've had far less support calls from my mother since putting her on Ubuntu previously she was on Windows XP. | 16:57 |
| [T]ank | i can play songs from my iphone, just not add to them. | 16:57 |
| Cheaterguy | ezraw, so... onto the config of the SQL server then... | 16:57 |
| [T]ank | everything i have read and tried shows that it should work. | 16:58 |
| CaptainTrek | wifi radar = unstable o.o | 16:58 |
| TrishaCornelius | @eoke awesome | 16:58 |
| lucy | hi | 16:58 |
| [T]ank | whenever i try to add a song, nothing at all happens. | 16:58 |
| lucy | shitup | 16:58 |
| ezraw | Cheaterguy: so you need a user that can connect remotely | 16:58 |
| abhi_nav | any google desktop user here? | 16:58 |
| Dr_Willis | TrishaCornelius: make up a flash drive so they can try it out. | 16:58 |
| ronpiterman | hi - am trying to set menu icons to show in 10.4 - but can not find how (gnome) ? | 16:58 |
| bazhang | lucy, watch the language | 16:58 |
| MaMoUs | racethesunlive: no i want something that i see what my kids are doing in the pc an it record all what they do like (Golden eye in Windows) | 16:58 |
| TrishaCornelius | I was very happy when I used it - sadly certain work programs require me to use windows | 16:58 |

| === Guest87705 is now known as unixx | ||
| coz_ | rpt, there was talk of having "no icons" in menus | 17:01 |
| maco | rpt: i dont think there used to be a gui for whether icons show, they just always did, and then gnome changed their mind | 17:01 |
| coz_ | rpt, but that would be a huge mistake especially for people with sight issues | 17:02 |
| maco | coz_: or who can see but not read (children) | 17:02 |
| coz_ | rpt, this alone was a huge mistake in my opinion since many people who dotn see well eough to read text can see the icons or at least the colors of the icons | 17:02 |
| ozBoy | hi guys can any one here help with ejabberd2 | 17:02 |
| rpt | there used to be an option unter System / Prefs / Apearance | 17:02 |
| lucy_ | shit | 17:03 |
| coz_ | rpt, right but that | 17:03 |
| rpt | there used to be an option unter System / Prefs / Apearance / Interface - but no tab "interface" anymore... | 17:03 |
| coz_ | rpt, was removed | 17:03 |
| maco | rpt: oooooh yes the entire tab went away | 17:03 |
| Dr_Willis | they took out the icons of some of the menus i belive becauise the icons are supposed to be for 'real' things only. :) i saw some web site mention how to restore them in a news feed.. i dont bother worryionb about icons too much | 17:03 |
| maco | lucy_: stop swearing | 17:03 |
| coz_ | rpt, it is a mistake for accessibility | 17:03 |
| maco | lucy_: do you have an ubuntu technical question or not? | 17:03 |
| lucy_ | watthehell | 17:03 |
| Dr_Willis | rpt: there was an option ages ago to show/hide ALL teh icons in the gnome menus.. but i cant rember when it vanished | 17:03 |
| ozBoy | does any one know how to create a XMPP server that works i have tryed a few things but nothing has happened | 17:04 |
| trism | rpt: the tab is gone but the gconf keys are still there, under /desktop/gnome/interface | 17:04 |
| rpt | well - anyway, now I have the icons, and am happy again - thanx coz_ ! | 17:04 |
| coz_ | rpt same here :) | 17:04 |
| coz_ | rpt and no problem :) | 17:04 |
| Dr_Willis | trism: what key exactly? theres a forum thread/post on this exact topic | 17:04 |
| CaptainTrek | any way to disable the network manager that's included with Lynx so it stops controlling the wifi card? | 17:05 |
| ozBoy | does any one know how to create a XMPP server that works i have tryed a few things but nothing has happened | 17:06 |
| rpt | \quit | 17:06 |
| abhi_nav | CaptainTrek, when you install any other aps to control internetr nm automatically disbale | 17:06 |
| rww | CaptainTrek: the easiest way would be to remove the network-manager and network-manager-gnome packages. It has an annoying tendency to turn itself back on otherwise. | 17:06 |
| unixx | hello. Does anyone know how can i look the kernel messages when the system is booting ? like in SuSE "verbose mode" | 17:06 |
| rww | abhi_nav: it very frequently doesn't for me | 17:06 |
| abhi_nav | !networkmanager | 17:06 |
| ubottu | networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager | 17:06 |
| CaptainTrek | abhi_nav: issue is that i cant use wifi-radar to switch APs because nm takes control of the card from it o.o | 17:06 |
| abhi_nav | rww, i read in that doc that if other program write in /etc/networ/inteface then nm stops controlin it | 17:06 |
| jjoohhnn | oxBoy: what ones have you tried? | 17:06 |
| MaMoUs | his there a program to monitor and record all the activity in my Pc to record what my kids are doing ? | 17:07 |

| n0a1ias_ | whats the default rood password? | 17:17 |
| rww | !noroot | 17:17 |
| ubottu | We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 17:17 |
| rww | !root | 17:17 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 17:17 |
| Pici | robotti^: alsamixer should already be installed on a default Ubuntu install. | 17:17 |
| ozBoy | i have even tryed to install a windows version of openfire but that did not work ither | 17:17 |

| ozBoy | many times before and also reinstall ubuntu on this computer to start fresh | 17:19 |
| n0a1ias_ | robotti google the directory and install it | 17:20 |
| jjoohhnn | ozBoy: if you have openfire working via the web, it's not an OS problem; it's likely a database problem | 17:20 |
| robotti^ | n0a1ias_: what you mean? | 17:20 |
| Pici | robotti^: I'm not really following what was going on, just telling you that theres no need to try to install that package. I suspect that your sound card is not being detected properly. | 17:20 |
| ozBoy | ok thats what i thought but i can never seam to get it to worjk | 17:20 |
| robotti^ | Pici: sound is coming when I try listen music | 17:21 |

| cheater99 | i just got a ubuntu 10.04 dvd to make the upgrade (i have 9.10 currently) and i have started the upgrade - but it tells me it wants to remove half my packages, among others things like erlang and half my php packages, which are important for me and, in general, are widely used things - this can't be right, can it? | 17:30 |
| Roasted | Dunkirk, server is command line only, so that one is pretty obvious if youre running server edition or not. | 17:31 |
| n0a1ias_ | durjirk what computer are ou on right now? | 17:31 |
| robotti^ | jjoohhnn: when running alsamixer it just say: cannot open mixer: No such file or directory | 17:31 |
| Roasted | Dunkirk, desktop edition is the standard desktop edition. netbook remix looks different, much bigger icons and a different style layout | 17:31 |
| abhi_nav | Dunkirk, server dont have gui. netbook remix is slighly different (i dont now how) but in look i thingk. and destop is regular ubuntu | 17:31 |
| jjoohhnn | robotti^: you have installed it through the "apt-get install"? | 17:31 |
| webPragmatist | does dmesg get rotated each boot? | 17:31 |
| robotti^ | jjoohhnn: alsamixer is here | 17:31 |
| Dunkirk | Well, what I mean is: what is the difference at the basic level? How would I tell the difference if I was SSH'd into each of them? | 17:31 |
| robotti^ | jjoohhnn: It just say, it cannot find mixer | 17:31 |
| robotti^ | jjoohhnn: alsamixer is installed | 17:32 |
| cheater99 | i'm fairly freaked out because it wants to uninstall over 600 packages. | 17:32 |
| jjoohhnn | robotti^: are you sure you are typing "alsamixer" as one word? | 17:32 |
| robotti^ | jjoohhnn: positive. But I can always test it again | 17:32 |
| ozBoy | jjoohhnn: i did that still the same problem | 17:32 |
| rob_p | webPragmatist: dmesg is the kernel buffer. When you reboot, the old kernel buffer contents are gone! That's not to say that some of the stuff didn't get written to a log somewhere by some other facility. But the contents of dmesg are poof! upon reboot. | 17:33 |
| webPragmatist | guys whats the best way to find out what happened like the previous boot | 17:33 |
| TrishaCornelius | @Dr_Willis: Sorry, I lost connection for a bit. No advanced needs: Skype, internet, music and photos and also OpenOffice | 17:33 |
| dancek_ | Dunkirk, afaik they just install different packages by default | 17:33 |
| webPragmatist | rob_p: ^^ | 17:33 |
| webPragmatist | kern.log ? | 17:33 |
| robotti^ | jjoohhnn: Just I say it. It cannot find mixer | 17:33 |
| rob_p | webPragmatist: Yes, like kern.log. | 17:34 |
| jjoohhnn | robotti^: does it say "cannot find alsamixer" or "cannot find mixer" | 17:34 |
| n0a1ias_ | whats the command to get firestarter to run on startup? | 17:34 |
| robotti^ | jjoohhnn: when running: cannot open mixer: No such file or directory | 17:34 |
| jjoohhnn | ozBoy: and when you go into the sql database, you can see that the password in that database is the same as the one you are typing in into the web interface? | 17:35 |
| Araneidae | My usb devices aren't automounting. Is there a way I can do the mount manually without sudo? | 17:35 |
| Roasted | Is anybody by chance running Ubuntu 10.04 on a laptop with an Intel Pro Wireless 2200 BG card? | 17:35 |
| robotti^ | jjoohhnn: alsamixer cannot initialize, because no sound mixer | 17:35 |
| ozBoy | yes i can | 17:35 |
| n0a1ias_ | robotti google alsamixer mixer directory install | 17:35 |
| Pici | Roasted: You'll probably get a better answer if you ask a real question. | 17:35 |
| jjoohhnn | robotti^: what is the exact error message you get? | 17:35 |
| deserteagle | FUUUUUUUUU >_< c'moooon firefox | 17:35 |
| robotti^ | jjoohhnn: just that | 17:35 |
| deserteagle | why does it just crash when i launch it?? | 17:36 |
| robotti^ | jjoohhnn: cannot open mixer: No such file or directory | 17:36 |
| deserteagle | :( this is a fresh install | 17:36 |
| n0a1ias_ | desertegle, move up to chomeium | 17:36 |
| Roasted | Pici, that's kind of the extent of my question. I'm having issues dropping connection with my 2200 intel card at random times, so I'm trying to see if anybody out there has this card in full working order. | 17:36 |
| jjoohhnn | robotti^: that error suggests you are typing in 'mixer' instead of alsamixer. did you copy/paste that error message? | 17:36 |
| n0a1ias_ | lol | 17:36 |
| th1 | erUSUL, thanks for pointer to devede, it's just perfect for my purpose | 17:36 |
| robotti^ | jjoohhnn: No. You understand wrong | 17:37 |
| robotti^ | jjoohhnn: I can always show screenshot | 17:37 |
| robotti^ | wait | 17:37 |
| deserteagle | robotti: odds are, one of the programs is missing | 17:37 |
| deserteagle | or the link's broken | 17:37 |

| daichi | hm, i have a question... if you create a self signed certificate... would it only be used on one vhost... or multiple. It should be multiple right since the common name is 127.0.0.1 -- problem is, my https vhosts dont work. site.localhost and https://site.localhost work -- site2.localhost works but https://site2.localhost maps to https://site.localhost | 17:43 |

| n0a1ias_ | desertegeal its in the internet tab of applications | 17:45 |
| jjoohhnn | robotti^: i wouldn't reinstall. i'm quite unsure what would happen to make alsamixer not even give you the program itself | 17:45 |
| deserteagle | n0a1ias_, installed, up and running | 17:45 |
| racethesun | gnubu: System -> administration -> hardware drivers | 17:45 |
| n0a1ias_ | and it works? | 17:46 |
| deserteagle | yep | 17:46 |
| gnubu | I have such tiny bandwidth, it's better to download big files overnight when I don't need the web :( | 17:46 |
| robotti^ | jjoohhnn: I am positive what happen here. Alsamixer does not find mixer | 17:46 |
| robotti^ | that why it cannot start | 17:46 |
| robotti^ | there is no mixer | 17:46 |
| Roasted | what can I do if half of the time I log into my desktop and I have no window borders? | 17:46 |
| daichi | hm, i have a question... if you create a self signed certificate... would it only be used on one vhost... or multiple. It should be multiple right since the common name is 127.0.0.1 -- problem is, my https vhosts dont work. site.localhost and https://site.localhost work -- site2.localhost works but https://site2.localhost maps to https://site.localhost | 17:46 |
| jjoohhnn | robotti^: well, yes, it can't find the mixer, but "why" it can't find the mixer is the issue i'm unsure of | 17:47 |
| robotti^ | jjoohhnn: I do not have /dev/mixer | 17:47 |

| A[D]minS | which kernel on Ubuntu support 4GB Ram? | 17:50 |
| aristo | A[D]minS, you're using a 32bit version, if it so install linux-image-generic-pae | 17:50 |
| n0a1ias_ | desertegeal, you can get the installer any way you want, the important thing is that u do a reinstall, you can get yourt addons after its fixed | 17:50 |
| robotti^ | jjoohhnn: I would love to ask, but somebody tell me that you are Ubuntu Guru | 17:50 |
| aristo | sipher, you will need to do it via wlan | 17:50 |

| io | gnubu: What do you mean by 'my desktop', a certain application? | 17:51 |
| robotti^ | jjoohhnn: what card? | 17:51 |
| n0a1ias_ | sipher, wlan means wireless lan, so wireless | 17:51 |

| sipher | n0a1ias_: it is probably your client highlighting the message because I've used your nickname. | 17:55 |
| robotti^ | somebody familiar with sound system on ubuntu 10.04? | 17:55 |
| ozBoy | i cant login to Openfire admin concole | 17:55 |

| n0a1ias_ | o most likely | 17:55 |
| guntbert | Gordon_Gekko: why do you need it? | 17:55 |
| sipher | aristo: is there "supported" way to transfer it wirelessly? | 17:56 |

| josie316 | The files in my /var/www folder show in browser in the order they where moved. I want to arrange by filetype from CLI, I am able to use ls -X but that doesent effect the actual order of the files. All I want is my files to show up in browser in order by filetype. TIA | 17:57 |
| deserteagle | could someone please post the direct link to firefox's deb package please? i need to wget it | 17:58 |
| sipher | askhader: I guess, you don't know what ubuntu's slogan is. | 17:58 |
| Sereph | josie316: if that is possible, it would be an apache setting | 17:58 |
| robotti^ | Sereph: Yes. I can hear sound when running spotify :) very faint sound.. and I must click multible times sometimes play, until it play | 17:58 |
| askhader | sipher: What do you think it is? | 17:58 |
| mgolisch | Sereph: usb drive? maybe the usb-ide(sata) bridge in it freaks out, i often had that with cheap usb enclosures, powering them off and letting them cooldown ususaly solved it, if its a internal disk maybe its a harddisk error then | 17:58 |
| sipher | josie316: you could use php to sort them by extension. | 17:58 |
| guntbert | Gordon_Gekko: a *very* good reason :-) -- I'll have to look it up myself, but if I remember correctly there is a ppa with kernel backports | 17:59 |
| Sereph | mgolisch: nope all SATA drives | 17:59 |
| sipher | askhader: check the websiet. | 17:59 |
| askhader | sipher: 'Linux' for human beings. | 17:59 |
| robotti^ | Sereph: I can here sound when running cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp1 | 17:59 |
| askhader | sipher: pointy clicky graphically. | 17:59 |
| robotti^ | Sereph: but I cannot set volume levels | 17:59 |
| Sereph | could be a pulseaudio issue then | 17:59 |
| sipher | exactly. and thats how I want to sync my ipod :p | 17:59 |
| Gordon_Gekko | guntbert: I am new to linux, I don't know how to update. Can you guide me a bit? | 17:59 |

| ubottu | Roasted: 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? | 18:01 |

| ekontsevoy | Is there a way to control OS caching of USB devices (like thumbdrives and Android phones)? Without it I am having hard time estimating transfer progress: it shoots gigabytes in a second and then refuses to unmount forever because "transfer in progress". | 18:01 |

| Gordon_Gekko | guntbert: do you think that it might come with an update? | 18:01 |
| askhader | racethesun: Linux is all about the command line. | 18:01 |
| Roasted | Sereph, however, I don't really have a "question" regarding it. I washoping to find somebody who set it up and take it to PM to just bounce some ideas off of them to make sure I'm doing this right. | 18:01 |
| gnubu | Gnome is downloading a looooong file. Where do I look to find the name of this file? | 18:02 |

| deserteagle | how do I change my computer's name? | 18:12 |
| Dmole | jpds: auto resume, not just resume; I don't want to have to check on it all the time | 18:12 |
| deserteagle | you know, the name after the username@ | 18:12 |
| jpds | Dmole: Not that I know of. | 18:12 |

| barfster | Is GNUUtils in base install? | 18:15 |
| jpds | Dmole: You could make it's script run a command limit'ed rsync command. | 18:15 |
| n0a1ias_ | roasted just type the name of a program into terminal and it will run | 18:15 |
| io | gnubu: That isn't an answer. What application did you use to download them? (I did ask this earlier to try and help). | 18:15 |
| Roasted | n0a1ias_, kerberos = server service. I need to fire up the SERVICE. not the program. | 18:16 |

| bambam_ | One last question how do I close specific port used by a service ? | 18:25 |

| Dr_Willis | !fstab | jonalv | 18:29 |
| ubottu | jonalv: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 18:29 |

| ubuntu_giant | Any help? Thanks. | 18:29 |
| jonalv | Dr_Willis: shared folder from cirtual box | 18:29 |
| io | Roasted: The last line is an actual question, right. Is it built-in or USB? | 18:29 |
| Roasted | io, built in | 18:29 |
| Dr_Willis | jonalv: a 'samba/windows' type share? or what excactly? | 18:29 |
| Roasted | io, I bought it because the atheros inside was acting up (wouldnt connect to WPA networks). so I put it in hoping itd solve the issue since intel is pretty awesome with linux wireless but here it is, bombing out. | 18:30 |
| EpicCyndaquil | I use truecrypt, and it won't start because it says it's already running. However it's not, and me and a friend previously solved this issue by deleting all of it's files in some local folder, does anyone have any suggestions as the terminal command that might have been? | 18:30 |
| jonalv | Dr_Willis: vboxsf, it's a virtual box thing I think | 18:30 |
| n0a1ias_ | ubuntu_giant, go to the catalyst download page and reinstall the relevant Linux drivers | 18:31 |
| tntc | Roasted: I dunno if this applies to you, but my intel WiFi Link 5300 card is all kinds of broken in kernel 2.6.32. It might be worth trying the PPA for kernel 2.6.34. | 18:31 |
| io | Roasted: No issues noted on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsIntel#miniPCI anyhow. | 18:31 |
| Dr_Willis | jonalv: if using virtualbox and the special virtualbox share. check teh vbox docs for the proper mount command/optuions to use. You may be missing some setting. | 18:31 |
| Roasted | io, theres a few bug reports about the 2200, though... I did see those. | 18:31 |
| gnubu | How 'bout this. Can I wget a file, put it in /var/cache/apt/archives then apt-get it later? | 18:31 |
| osmosis | if i look at the changelog for linux-image-server ...all it says is * Lucid ABI 23 | 18:32 |
| jonalv | Dr_Willis: yea that's what I did but I think it might differ from different linux distro's? | 18:32 |
| tntc | Roasted: be aware that going to 2.6.34 may cause other hardware to not work, since it doesn't have full patches for stuff | 18:32 |
| linuxnoob | h | 18:32 |
| linuxnoob | hey! | 18:32 |
| ubuntu_giant | n0a1ias_: I already did that. | 18:32 |

| racethesun | Roasted: you could also try using ndiswrapper to install the windows drivers | 18:33 |

| rsr | ive heard web min has issues with ubuntu | 18:46 |
| Roasted | I love webmin, but I hear some uses prefer ebox due to its official support | 18:46 |
| oCean_ | !webmin | rsr | 18:46 |
| ubottu | rsr: 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. | 18:46 |

| barfster | and not /dev/sda | 18:50 |

| frikkieh | can a windows driver (.ini I think) be used in Linux to make some rare piece of HW work? Do I need to recompile the kernel ? | 19:25 |
| Kyle__ | MarcN: More or less I've always preferred less to more. | 19:25 |
| Church | lspci -v or dmidecode passed to more or less both should list devices | 19:25 |
| MarcN | Kyle__: sorry, wrong window focus. dmidecode says max is 2800MHz, which is right. | 19:26 |
| Kyle__ | Church: dmidecode provides better output for some cases :) | 19:26 |
| Kyle__ | MarcN: Does the external clock seem right? | 19:26 |

| Charbel | how can i get to "Accessibility Configuration" for login screen ? | 19:27 |
| Kyle__ | MarcN: I know some mobile CPUs turn down the clock on battery, to saves power. Maybe the system thinks it's on battery? | 19:27 |
| MarcN | Kyle__: everything looks good, except gnome-power shows between 800 and 1.1ghz for each cpu, even when the loadave is > 5 for many seconds. | 19:27 |
| Anarchy7_ | askhader: Searching for available drivers // No proprietary drivers are in use on this system | 19:27 |

| howie_ | how so I get a list of all the ops connected to my server? | 19:32 |
| loki_ | it won't connect for reasons unbeknownst to me. I added the network to the list and enabled wireless networking and it still wont connect | 19:32 |
| Kyle__ | MarcN: Could you post the outptu of lsmod to pastie or somethign? Lets see if we see all the modules we think we should. | 19:32 |
| blain | howie_ who ? | 19:32 |
| askhader | loki_: Does your AP SSID show up in the list of available connections? | 19:32 |
| Speiros | Kyle: It is recognised in one way, as I can see it as the default printer, but whenever I send a document to print, it goes to the printer, but doesn't show as documents in queue. Yet it also says there are two documents in queue | 19:32 |

| Kyle__ | Speiros: And what does lpq say? | 19:33 |
| frikkieh | Loki -0 Access point | 19:33 |
| loki_ | hmm......thats a good question. What module is needed? | 19:33 |
| Anarchy7_ | askhader: ? | 19:33 |
| Speiros | Kyle: What is lpq mate? | 19:33 |
| loki_ | oh lol yeah no the the AP isnt there | 19:33 |
| askhader | Anarchy7_: ? | 19:33 |
| cslesh | hi all | 19:33 |
| howie_ | blain a list of ip's connect to my router box | 19:33 |
| askhader | loki_: Depends on what card you have. | 19:33 |
| loki_ | not a card | 19:33 |
| frikkieh | First get Wifi Going to see AP's | 19:33 |
| loki_ | just an antenna plugged into the back of my comp | 19:33 |
| askhader | loki_: O.o | 19:33 |
| Anarchy7_ | askhader: you asked me to go to hardware ... I went and the message is : Searching for available drivers // No proprietary drivers are in use on this system | 19:34 |
| askhader | it's integrated into the motherboard you mean? | 19:34 |
| askhader | Anarchy7_: Okay. | 19:34 |
| loki_ | yes | 19:34 |
| askhader | Anarchy7_: I didn't see your response. | 19:34 |
| Anarchy7_ | askhader: : no problem | 19:34 |
| Kyle__ | Speiros: It's the command line tool to display what's in the print que | 19:34 |
| askhader | Anarchy7_: Please upload /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 19:34 |
| Kyle__ | Speiros: Generally more reliable than its gnome counterpart. | 19:34 |
| askhader | loki_: It's still a card, and we need to know which it is. lscpi -nn | 19:34 |
| Anarchy7_ | how to do that ? | 19:34 |
| askhader | sorry lspci -vv | 19:35 |
| Speiros | Kyle: Okay. Do I look at that in terminal? | 19:35 |
| loki_ | how would I know that? should i open up the comp? | 19:35 |
| Kyle__ | Speiros: Yes. | 19:35 |
| Speiros | Kyle: It says the printer isn't ready, and yes, there are two documents in the queue | 19:35 |
| io | loki_: Applications Menu -> Accessories -> Terminal | 19:35 |
| frikkieh | Can ubuntu be used with xbmc and a K100 Compro emote? | 19:35 |
| loki_ | hold on that wont work | 19:35 |
| Kyle__ | MarcN: Ya know, I'm poking at my laptop, and I don't see any frequency scaling moduels, but it all works fine. Modules may be a red herring. | 19:35 |
| loki_ | im currently booted into windows | 19:36 |
| Kyle__ | Speiros: have you ever used the cups web-interface? | 19:36 |
| Speiros | Kyle: No. | 19:36 |
| askhader | loki_: You don't have an ethernet cable? | 19:36 |
| MarcN | Kyle__: http://pastebin.com/c17dKYmv is my lsmod, don't see any interesting modules, compiled it with ubuntu I guess. | 19:36 |
| loki_ | well i do but no where near my comp to plug in | 19:36 |
| askhader | Anarchy7_: Well you can view the output with cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | less | 19:36 |
| loki_ | no ethernet port open anyway | 19:36 |
| MarcN | Kyle__: I have the /sys/devices/cpu/cpu?/cpufreq/ so the kernel knows. | 19:37 |
| Speiros | Kyle: Why does the printer say ready if Terminal says it isn't? | 19:37 |
| Kyle__ | Speiros: go to http://localhost:631 That's the cups web interface. You can enable printers from the command line, but from the web interface you may see what the problem is. | 19:37 |
| Kyle__ | Speiros: Because the gnome interface to cups is flakey (IMO). | 19:37 |
| bean | loki_, how do you not have an ethernet port open? O.o | 19:37 |
| Speiros | Kyle_: Okay. | 19:37 |
| Anarchy7 | askhader: http://codepad.org/fG7IaKNS | 19:37 |
| MarcN | Kyle__: thought it was related to VirtualBox and running a Vista VM, but not running it on my laptop anymore since last reboot. | 19:37 |
| askhader | loki_: Well then you need to get creative =] | 19:37 |
| bastidrazor | MarcN: not sure what the issues are but .. cpufrequtils can give you the ability to adjust cpu frequency settings | 19:37 |
| loki_ | lol yeah im gonna open it | 19:38 |
| krey | askhader: fixed it, just a shtload of broken packages | 19:38 |
| Kyle__ | MarcN: Yea, I think you're right. Humm. What shows up in scaling_avilable_frequencies? | 19:38 |
| askhader | krey: =/ How did that happen? | 19:38 |
| MarcN | bastidrazor: what is the preferred ubuntu/lucid toolset for cpufreq? | 19:38 |
| bastidrazor | MarcN: cpufrequtils package which gives you cpufreq-selector and cpufreq-info and cpufreq-set commands | 19:38 |
| krey | askhader: no clue, perhaps enabling a some launchpad repos was a bad idea :D | 19:38 |
| frikkieh | So no- one use a nice stable os like Ubuntu to run a media centre like xbmc? | 19:39 |
| MarcN | Kyle__: available_frequencies include 2800000 down to 800000 | 19:39 |
| askhader | frikkieh: Well I do. | 19:39 |
| Kyle__ | frikkieh: Try mediatomb. | 19:39 |
| Kyle__ | MarcN: What happens if you echo 2800000 into cur_freq? | 19:39 |
| mohamed-ragab | hi all i install ubuntu 10.4 46bit in toshiba t135 | 19:40 |
| frikkieh | Kyle - What remote do you use - one that works | 19:40 |
| Kyle__ | MarcN: sorry scaling_cur_freq | 19:40 |
| pianohacker | apache2 is not autostarting on boot, and I suspect it's because this is a wireless laptop, that brings up interfaces by networkmanager. Is this true, and how can I work around it? | 19:40 |
| bastidrazor | MarcN: it would a better idea to use the commands provide by cpufrequtils instead of manually changing things. | 19:40 |
| MarcN | Kyle__: no priv error, but doesn't stick. same with cpufrequ-set | 19:40 |
| askhader | Anarchy7: You can try downloading the LINUX driver from ATI directly. | 19:40 |
| askhader | Anarchy7: Your card should be recent enough. | 19:40 |
| mohamed-ragab | hi all i install ubuntu 10.4 46bit in toshiba t135 "wireless and fn+f8" not work | 19:40 |
| Kyle__ | frikkieh: Wait, you mean to view it or serve it up? I serve up the stuff using mediatomb, and play it thrugh my ps3. | 19:41 |
| bastidrazor | MarcN: you're using sudo with cpufreq-set ? | 19:41 |
| mohamed-ragab | hi all i install ubuntu 10.4 46bit in toshiba t135 "wireless and fn+f8" not work what can i do to work | 19:41 |
| Kyle__ | MarcN: Weird. | 19:41 |
| pianohacker | mohamed-ragab: What is that key supposed to do? | 19:41 |
| MarcN | bastidrazor: I'd be fine with that. running 1.12Ghz on a DC with 4G is painfully slow. | 19:41 |
| Anarchy7 | askhader: do you think this is necessary to solve the problem ? | 19:41 |
| pianohacker | mohamed-ragab: Also, you might have to wait a bit for your question to be answered sometimes | 19:41 |
| Kyle__ | MarcN: Try it in single user mode. I'm wondering if there's a daemon somewhere that's re-setting it to what it thinks it should be. | 19:41 |
| MarcN | bastidrazor: sudo or from root shell | 19:41 |
| Anarchy7 | askhader: or just giving a random idea which might work ? | 19:41 |
| askhader | Anarchy7: Is the Video card driver not the most logical place to start when diagnosing slow video performacne? | 19:41 |
| tpw_rules | i have a fresh ubuntu install and when i rebooted it, it reset the resolution to a point where it's overdriving my monitor. how can i fix it? my graphics card is ATI HD4870 with the driver installed. i got it to work omce, but when i rebooted, it failed again | 19:41 |
| frikkieh | To view is good enough - locally, but I want to be able to pause now and then :-) | 19:42 |
| MarcN | bastidrazor: I have upowerd running and gnome-power-manager. | 19:42 |
| askhader | Anarchy7: All this time I have been attempting to establish exactly which video card driver X11 is enabling for your card. | 19:42 |
| Anarchy7 | askhader: I am having problems with windows vista as well ... | 19:42 |
| askhader | Anarchy7: So unless you have a better idea. | 19:42 |
| askhader | Anarchy7: You're not the only one. | 19:42 |
| Speiros | Kyle_: Thank you mate. The documents are printing. I don't know what the initial problem was, but I changed the cord to a cat5 cable, then back to the USB, and it is printing fine now. | 19:42 |

| jngdwe | Hi All | 19:43 |
| askhader | Anarchy7: The ATI website. | 19:43 |
| jngdwe | I could use some help | 19:43 |
| askhader | Anarchy7: They will have an install script. | 19:43 |
| abhi_nav | !ask | jngdwe | 19:43 |
| ubottu | jngdwe: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 19:43 |
| Kyle__ | Speiros: CUPs sometimes stops a printer if it can't communicate with it. It's affraid it will loose a document, and it won't get printed, so if it can't talk to the printer, it holds the documents. Used to happen all the time over the WAN. | 19:43 |
| raven | torbutton without installing tor to the system?? | 19:44 |

| gabriele | sera | 19:45 |
| MarcN | bastidrazor: sure it is. on another laptop running ubuntu/lucid I have the upower package installed. | 19:45 |
| Kyle__ | Speiros: Quite possible. Remember, USB printers are autodetected and auto-setup, but network printers aren't. If you have the same printer hooked up both ways, it shows up as two different printers (one for each connection method). | 19:45 |
| bean | Cube``, Not much. you could probably get away with 10GB | 19:45 |
| bastidrazor | MarcN: yeah, i see i was in correct in my statement. | 19:45 |

| Speiros | Kyle_: Ah, okay. That explains why I have the new icon in there. lol. | 19:46 |
| Jordan_U | Cube``: 10G is more than enough for Ubuntu, but you'll be tight on room for personal files. | 19:46 |
| bean | glace, open a new terminal? | 19:46 |
| Cube`` | bean: ok. and then symlink .cube to .cube on that 450gb partition? | 19:46 |
| Anarchy7 | askhader: I dont know that too :( | 19:46 |
| Cube`` | and then delete files if i need more space | 19:46 |

| timemachine3030 | question: how can I change my dns servers for a specific wireless network? i tried editing resolv.conf but NetworkManager overwrites them. I can not find an option in NetworkManager to change them. | 19:52 |

| frikkieh | Yep. | 19:52 |

| VCoolio | timemachine3030: run as: TERM=blah command | 19:54 |
| plbogen | Jordan_U: so far just broadcoms (ugh...) | 19:54 |
| bastidrazor | timemachine3030: right click nm-applet in the gnome-panel then edit connections > wireless connections > select one > IPv4 settings, you need to set Method to DHCP only or manual to edit the DNS Servers | 19:54 |
| VCoolio | glace: run as: TERM=blah command | 19:54 |

| andai | grayhatgeek_ Yeah I'm trying to shrink it | 19:57 |
| frikkieh | Sorry, but I tried Radius before and could not get it right. My telco friends did better | 19:57 |

| Kyle__ | frikkieh: Not surprising; wasn't radius designed for telcos? | 19:58 |
| raven | help with TORBUTTON please | 19:58 |
| frikkieh | They use it every day , so I just asked their help. | 19:58 |
| grayhatgeek_ | <andai> u can use GParted | 19:58 |

| Kyle__ | preecher: I've got vbox on 20+ ubuntu desktops, soon to be 50 (computer labs). If it's not loading automatically, you're box is missing osmething, or something got screwed up along the way. | 20:03 |
| preecher | i did have it installed and running last nite and today i tryd to install a diff linux distro and it kept hangin up so i deleted it and then re install it | 20:04 |
| Cube`` | bean: yeah look, i had a windows system, which broke one day haha, now i have all my files (pics, vids, etc.) on there. i would like to install ubuntu without having to backup the whole disc. so ill install ubuntu, giving it 10 GB, then symlink the ubuntu document folders to the windows ones. does that sound rational? | 20:04 |
| osmosis | what package needs to be installed so that a guest receives the shutdown signal properly? | 20:04 |
| Kyle__ | osmosis: The guest extensions. Trying to recall the package name now... | 20:05 |
| Kyle__ | osmosis: virtualbox-ose-dkms I think that's the one. | 20:05 |
| preecher | if i just reinstall ubuntu and then install vbox again that should work shouldnt it | 20:06 |

| Pupeno | Any ideas what's the widget in gnome to have the temperature of processor in the top bar? | 20:06 |
| Jordan_U | Cube``: One problem is that Linux cannot repair ntfs, so if you shut down improperly you may loose access to your files untill you can run chkdsk from windows. | 20:06 |

| andai | what packages give ext4 support (for gparted)? | 20:07 |
| osmosis | Kyle I need for kvm | 20:08 |
| Cube`` | Jordan_U: ok gotcha, but i wouldnt loose them? | 20:09 |
| Kyle__ | osmosis: Ah. Umm. KVM doesn't really work like that. Each KVM vm is a process. There isn't any interaction between the host and the guest by default. | 20:10 |
| dddiki | Hi! | 20:10 |
| Jordan_U | Cube``: No, it would just be a PITA to regain access to them if you don't have a windows CD lying around. | 20:10 |
| Kyle__ | osmosis: There may be a kvm command that suspends the VM? | 20:10 |
| preecher | Kyle_ it says this dpkg: need an action option | 20:11 |

| judgen | I am looking for a non-composited docklike application. Any suggestions? | 20:41 |
| kiu | hi, i tried to install ubuntu 10.04 alternate amd64 from an usb stick (no cdrom available) using the startup disk creator (on a 10.04 32bit system). the md5sum of the iso is fine. The perl package cant be installed because of checksum missmatch. Is this a known issue ? Is my usb stick broken (cant do the check for defects for usb images) ? | 20:41 |
| abhi_nav | judgen, i dont understand what is non-composited but try cairo dock | 20:41 |

| erUSUL | aenima1891: can you ping the windows 7 machine ip? « ping win7_ip » ? | 21:17 |
| aenima1891 | erUSUL: i've also disable all kind of firewall on windows 7 | 21:17 |
| seren | i cant right-click on the panel to add one | 21:17 |
| racethesun | seren: it would ask for a sudo password though | 21:17 |
| aenima1891 | erUSUL: ok | 21:17 |
| erUSUL | opij: ask in ##hardware ? | 21:18 |
| erUSUL | opij: for use in linux i would buy an ati | 21:18 |
| aenima1891 | erUSUL: yes..i can ping it | 21:18 |
| seren | hmmm that wouldn't make it better then :( | 21:18 |
| erUSUL | aenima1891: and « ping 66.249.92.104 » ? | 21:18 |
| bastidrazor | opij: i have an nVidia 5500 that does very well.. agp card | 21:19 |
| seren | i thought perhaps there is an easy way to make that 60 second countdown | 21:19 |
| bastidrazor | opij: i have `not` upgraded that box to 10.04 though. so that is untested | 21:19 |
| seren | cause it has been in recent versions | 21:19 |
| matmatmat | my sound device disappeared after upgrading, what can i do about it? | 21:19 |
| sebsebseb | erUSUL: uh what suggesting opij buys an ATI card for Linux. ATI has many problems with Ubuntu! | 21:19 |
| aenima1891 | erUSUL: i've no response | 21:20 |
| erUSUL | aenima1891: i think the problem is in the windows configuration. but i can not help there | 21:20 |
| aenima1891 | erUSUL: damn..thanks for your help anyway!! ;) | 21:21 |
| erUSUL | sebsebseb: ati cards have free drivers that work well | 21:21 |
| sebsebseb | erUSUL: oh yeah, even for Compiz and OpenGL games, well I guess some of them, but many no | 21:21 |
| matmatmat | can i undo an upgrade? | 21:21 |
| blain | no | 21:22 |
| matmatmat | this sucks | 21:22 |
| matmatmat | what can i do to get my sound device back? | 21:23 |
| erUSUL | matmatmat: try installing linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-generic and rebooting | 21:24 |
| Ites | hi | 21:24 |
| matmatmat | i did not upgrade from a different version | 21:24 |
| Ites | has someone been playing fm2010 in wine around here ? | 21:24 |
| patricia | #exit | 21:25 |
| matmatmat | its the same distribution | 21:25 |
| matmatmat | should i try anyways erUSUL? | 21:25 |
| theory-m | greetings | 21:25 |
| erUSUL | matmatmat: is easy and you have nothing to loose | 21:25 |
| bihari | man i cant able to do voice chat on yahoo | 21:25 |
| bihari | i have try every client that give option of yahoo all support text based chat but not video and audio | 21:26 |
| bihari | seriously ubuntu team has to think about it | 21:26 |
| theory-m | So. I'm looking for information on getting Xorg to see both my radeon video cards. | 21:26 |
| tertl3 | theory-m, is it crossfire | 21:27 |
| tertl3 | ? | 21:27 |
| theory-m | tertl3, I don't think so. | 21:27 |
| tertl3 | theory-m, do they work as one card? | 21:27 |
| tertl3 | like sli? | 21:28 |
| [FB]Chris | Hi, does anyone know if a tool like dd exists, but it only clones indexed data? | 21:28 |
| === vivid` is now known as vivid | ||
| theory-m | tertl3, no. Each card has two outputs. | 21:28 |
| erUSUL | [FB]Chris: what is "indexed data" ? | 21:28 |
| theory-m | On card 1 I have two monitors working perfectly | 21:28 |
| tertl3 | theory, you need to know these things | 21:28 |
| [FB]Chris | erUSUL: I don't know what it's called in nix, i'm a bit of a nix noob, but i can explain it | 21:29 |
| theory-m | on card2, the third monitor is where the console goes (ctrl+F1). | 21:29 |
| tertl3 | theory-m, it is most likely only gonna be able to use 1 at a time unless they are crossfire cards | 21:29 |
| [FB]Chris | basically i am trying to dd a hard disk and pipe it to bzip2 (which works fine) but it is very slow and not much of the disk actually has data on | 21:29 |
| theory-m | rly? Lame. | 21:29 |
| erUSUL | [FB]Chris: dd copies bytes from one file to another | 21:29 |
| tertl3 | then it would just recognize the two as one | 21:29 |
| [FB]Chris | so out of this 120gb partition only, say, 20gb is used | 21:29 |
| [FB]Chris | is there some way to get it to copy only the used amount? | 21:29 |
| [FB]Chris | or rather, clone it? | 21:29 |
| erUSUL | [FB]Chris: use a specialized tool like partimage or fsarchiver | 21:29 |
| theory-m | tertl3, is there a way to query the hardware to find out for sure? | 21:30 |
| [FB]Chris | erUSUL: you sure partimage can do that? | 21:30 |
| erUSUL | [FB]Chris: but you know bzipping 0's should be fast enough ... | 21:30 |
| [FB]Chris | it's not that, it's just that we don't really have the storage space for it | 21:30 |
| [FB]Chris | it's some really stupid laptop | 21:30 |
| erUSUL | [FB]Chris: well i think it does not support ext4 yet so use fsarchiver | 21:30 |
| [FB]Chris | you have to physically remove the mb to get to the HDD | 21:31 |
| [FB]Chris | no back panel | 21:31 |
| [FB]Chris | erUSUL: it's NTFS | 21:31 |
| erUSUL | [FB]Chris: also bzip is really a poor choice ( gzip or lzma/xz ) | 21:31 |
| erUSUL | [FB]Chris: ntfsprogas has a ntfsclone tool | 21:31 |
| [FB]Chris | erUSUL: why is bzip a poor choice? i got the impression it was a good middle ground between gzip and lzma | 21:31 |
| toyman61 | Lynx: Is it possible to make a Windows share using Wine ? | 21:32 |
| Roobarb|Home | toyman61, Use samba for that | 21:32 |
| tertl3 | theory-m, search the datawebs | 21:32 |
| erUSUL | [FB]Chris: imho the compression gains you get are not worth the extra slowness vs gzip. and if you really only care for space then lzma/xz compresses more even if it is slower | 21:32 |
| tertl3 | i use nvidia but i seriously doubt you are gonna get good performance out of 2 seperate cards at one time..........think about the cpu cycles | 21:33 |
| tomswartz07 | Hi all! I have a really quick question. Ive been looking into a method to get the information from my Google calendar available to a terminal based application like calcurse. What app could help get the ical files from google? | 21:33 |
| opij | I'm looking at this page http://www.hulu.com/labs/hulu-desktop and I dont have the minimum requirements for running the player. I am just under the processor requirement. Which graphics card would be best to enable ubuntu to compensate for my processor's deficiency? | 21:33 |
| tertl3 | stooop | 21:33 |
| Saxon | Had anyone used the gnome music app? | 21:33 |
| krey | hi, I have lucid and an nvidia card, should get tty screen on bootup, but I get a black screen with strange with spots at the top, any ideas? | 21:34 |
| === AaronMcD is now known as AaronM | ||
| oCean_ | Saxon: be more specific? Also: better ask your *real* question (detailed, in the channel, please) | 21:34 |
| thune3 | opij: those requirements are conservative, if you are close you should be ok. | 21:34 |
| [FB]Chris | erUSUL: thanks :) i will do that. | 21:35 |
| Saxon | Once I've installed the music app from synaptic, how do I find and use it? | 21:35 |
| opij | thune3: how do you know? | 21:35 |
| epure_ | why does rythmbox restart the current playing song if I middle click on something in firefox ? | 21:35 |
| thune3 | opij: because i run it very well on cpu that doesn't meet requirements. Just download it and run it and see if it work ok. | 21:36 |
| MaMoUs | erUSUL: i found the files he play with | 21:36 |
| notracking | .ro | 21:36 |
| erUSUL | Saxon: what app ? Rhythmbox is already installed... Aplications>Video and sound holds that apps | 21:36 |
| opij | thune3: are you just running hulu in your browser or are you running the actual hulu desktop player? | 21:36 |
| erUSUL | MaMoUs: ... which ones ? | 21:36 |
| thune3 | opij: huludesktop | 21:37 |
| krey | please someone, black screen, nvidia after upgrade? | 21:37 |
| opij | thune3: thanks for the advice | 21:37 |
| epure_ | can rythmbox keyboard shortcuts be disabled? | 21:37 |
| MaMoUs | erUSUL: /etc/xl2tpd/xl2tpd.conf + /etc/ppp/options.l2tpd + /etc/xl2tpd/l2tp-secrets + /etc/ppp/chap-secrets + /etc/ppp/pap-secrets | 21:38 |
| Zomb | hey | 21:38 |
| erUSUL | Saxon: if it is an applet for the panel maybe you can find it right clicking on the panel and choosing add to panel | 21:38 |
| niccoli | hey all I have a question, I have a drive mounted as a slave with ubuntu on it and I would rather use it for spare storage, how to I edit its rights? | 21:38 |
| Zomb | how do you close an Launchpad bug report with "wontfix" tag? | 21:38 |
| maco | Zomb: you have to be on Bug Control | 21:38 |
| MaMoUs | erUSUL: here is the link where he use; http://markusthielmann.com/blog/hotspot_shield_ubuntu | 21:38 |
| theory-m | tertle3, I just found on the AMD web site my cards are "Dual-mode ATI CrossFireX Support" | 21:38 |
| theory-m | does that make any difference? | 21:39 |
| Zomb | oh | 21:39 |
| juken | I'm looking for a hand getting my USB headset's microphone working in Ubuntu 10.04. Does anyone have some time to help me trouble shoot? | 21:39 |
| maco | Zomb: if a bug status needs to be changed, you can request it in #ubuntu-bugs | 21:39 |
| theory-m | There must be a way to tell ubuntu to use both cards for Xorg | 21:39 |
| erUSUL | Saxon: dpkg -L pavkagename | grep bin | 21:39 |
| Jordan_U | juken: Does it show up in System > Preferences > Sound? | 21:39 |
| theory-m | something with the X/KernelModeSetting perhaps | 21:39 |
| slow-motion | n8 | 21:39 |
| Zomb | maco: actually, I will just leave a "recommendation from Upstream" and wait for Ubuntu people to deal with that | 21:39 |
| matmatmat | erUSUL: i installed the backport thing, now my sound is muted | 21:40 |
| maco | Zomb: at least give me the bug number. i'm an dev, so i can set bug statuses | 21:40 |
| juken | Jordan_U: yep, and it's selected, but I doesn't work. Output works fine, but input is not working. | 21:40 |
| matmatmat | as in no sound | 21:40 |
| matmatmat | but the devices are present | 21:40 |
| savid | What command can I use to see what program has a particular tcp port opened? | 21:40 |
| erUSUL | MaMoUs: if you have the how to you can just "undo" what he did. i.e begin in step 5 and stop the daemon then undo the edits ( or remove file when you create one) | 21:41 |
| askhader | savid: man nmap or man netstat | 21:41 |
| maco | savid: netstat -anp | grep 80 | 21:41 |
| maco | savid: or whatever number | 21:41 |
| Wavesonics | hey whats a good way to list the groups a user is in? | 21:41 |
| maco | Wavesonics: just type "groups" | 21:41 |
| askhader | groups | 21:41 |
| savid | ah, thanks | 21:41 |
| erUSUL | MaMoUs: and purge the packages he installed | 21:41 |
| MaMoUs | erUSUL: i did but same problem i think maybe he could delete something | 21:41 |
| Eddie_6 | Hi! Could anyone recommend a good ebook reader? I'm thinking about start reading them on my netbook. | 21:41 |
| Zomb | maco: it's about https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-cacher-ng/+bug/602593 | 21:42 |
| MaMoUs | erUSUL: i don't know if he isntalled any thing | 21:42 |
| Zomb | maco: but I think I will leave it as is | 21:42 |
| Zomb | even if the requester is more rude than I expected to be | 21:42 |
| erUSUL | MaMoUs: step 1 is an instalation- sudo apt-get install xl2tpd --> sudo apt-get purge xl2tpd | 21:42 |
| juken | savid: lsof | grep ESTABLISHED # also works :) | 21:42 |
| MaMoUs | erUSUL: done | 21:42 |
| erUSUL | MaMoUs: he also have played with the routing table but that should have reseted itself with a reboot | 21:43 |
| erUSUL | MaMoUs: step 2 is undone? i.e you edited the file and removed what's there ? | 21:43 |
| wng- | I have rt2860 wireless card, and it looks like it's not loading the firmware for it, but i put rt2860.bin in the /lib/firmware directory, yet modinfo does not list anything for firmware, any idea? | 21:44 |
| erUSUL | MaMoUs: also step 3 you removed the file he created ? | 21:44 |
| maco | Zomb: have you seen http://blog.launchpad.net/bug-tracking/new-bugs-status-opinion ? should i set that? | 21:44 |
| erUSUL | MaMoUs: and step 4 undo the edit in the 2 files it mentions | 21:44 |
| Zomb | maco: sounds good, feel free to set it | 21:45 |
| cutiyar | How to recover my filw from harddisk? | 21:46 |

| cutiyar | fle | 21:46 |
| jrib | machete: how are you trying? | 21:47 |
| Zomb | cutiyar: which filesystem? | 21:47 |
| erUSUL | machete: new accouints does not have sudo privs by default | 21:47 |
| cutiyar | ntfs | 21:47 |
| erUSUL | machete: new accaunts does not have sudo privs by default | 21:47 |
| machete | sudo bash | 21:47 |
| MaMoUs | erUSUL: oky now all files are oky (but the last steps 5, 6 +7) how to undo it ? | 21:47 |
| aristo | cutiyar, boot a live session | 21:47 |
| machete | erUSUL, is there a way I could change this? | 21:47 |
| ubuntu | hi | 21:47 |
| jrib | machete: use « sudo -i » instead, but you'll have to add the user to the admin group first | 21:47 |
| aristo | from there you can see you partitions and backup | 21:47 |
| Zomb | cutiyar: first, don't boot windows. Microsoft implementation likes loosing traces to fragments after 64k. | 21:48 |
| machete | jrib, how do I do this thing? | 21:48 |
| erUSUL | MaMoUs: if you removed the package 5 is done the same for 6 and 7 | 21:48 |
| Zomb | cutiyar: second, get professional software. Like Nero ResqueAgent or similar. | 21:48 |
| jrib | machete: login with a user that does have sudo privileges and execute « sudo adduser NEW_USER admin » | 21:48 |
| erUSUL | MaMoUs: reboot the machine to make sure | 21:48 |
| niccoli | hey all, Im wondering if there is a way to give myself permissions to edit a drive (I have a spare drive with another ubuntu system on it and would like to erase it)? | 21:48 |
| machete | how do I add the user to the group? Will I have to log in a different terminal? | 21:48 |
| jrib | niccoli: you just want to delete the contents or format it? | 21:48 |
| cutiyar | zomb,NTFS | 21:48 |
| niccoli | jrib, I just want to delete the contents | 21:49 |
| jrib | niccoli: what filesystem? | 21:49 |
| Zomb | cutiyar: yes, ntfs. There is ntfsundelete tool in ntfsprogs package but I don't think its maintained well. | 21:49 |
| erUSUL | machete: use « sudo adduser your_user admin » with an account that already can use sudo | 21:49 |
| niccoli | jrib, its just a slave drive, the name is just a bunch of random numbers/letters | 21:49 |
| jrib | niccoli: ok, but what filesystem? | 21:49 |

| erUSUL | machete: log out and log in again with your_user | 21:50 |
| wng- | Can someone tell me how to install firmware ro rt2860sta driver? | 21:50 |

| machete | ok... you'll see me gone for a minute then I'll let you know how I did with that anyways | 21:50 |

| MaMoUs | erUSUL: oky now (but there is something when i write ifconfig in terminal ) what is tun0-00 ? | 21:57 |
| jrib | Anarchy7: you should use Hardware Drivers if possible, if not see ubottu | 21:57 |
| Jordan_U | cutiyar1: "sudo apt-get install testdisk" to install it, and "sudo photorec" to run it. | 21:57 |
| niccoli | jrib, I do yes, but on my 19gig internal I dont | 21:57 |
| Xthor | jrib... ok thanks it is working... or well i have to download a libSDL-mixer first it says ;) | 21:57 |

| cutiyar | where I can find photorec package? | 21:59 |
| abhi_nav | !find photorec | 21:59 |

| BigMao | jrib, thanks. Is there something like "rcconf" for upstart? This is the first time I've heard of it. | 22:09 |

| shane2peru | jrib, given that f-spot repo version doesn't work, and the warnings of removing it, I'm thinking something was left over. | 22:34 |
| blain | kleopatra it will be zeroing every sector | 22:34 |
| jrib | shane2peru: what warnings? | 22:35 |
| === chikokishi is now known as Chikokishi | ||
| Sensiva | chikokishi maybe it opens in top panel? | 22:35 |
| osmosis | slidinghorn, its not running. it wont start is a problem actually. | 22:35 |
| slidinghorn | osmosis, well according to that paste, it can't *stop* running | 22:35 |
| shane2peru | jrib, these warnings: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/NpJgkVW7 this was from trying to remove the built from source version .7 | 22:35 |
| Chikokishi | Sensiva, what do you mean? | 22:35 |
| wildbat | kleopatra, .... it will be super slow | 22:35 |
| Sensiva | Chikokishi it opens the first time already but hidden in the top panel, right next to the clock | 22:36 |
| blain | kleopatra i'd say 30min | 22:36 |
| wildbat | kleopatra, urandom is slow ~ sugguest you do 3 zero pass ~ that should be good enough | 22:36 |
| kleopatra | ok ty so far | 22:36 |
| blain | you can keep working in foreground | 22:36 |
| jrib | shane2peru: that doesn't really look significant. Why don't you uninstall f-spot and see what's left? And use apt, not dpkg | 22:36 |
| Chikokishi | Seviva, Oh wow.. Yep! lol.. This is my second day using Ubuntu.. trying to learn xD | 22:36 |
| blain | nice | 22:37 |
| kleopatra | another thing: i had 10 trojans on windows, do i have to or should i change all my passwords i used? (email,etc?) | 22:37 |
| Monster_Killer | I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 but when i click my username to log into ubuntu, i get this error -> 'Error Initialising conversation with authorization system - general failure'. I have tried restarting but i still get the error. | 22:37 |
| Sensiva | Chikokishi Glad you did, Happy Ubuntu ride \o/ | 22:37 |
| shane2peru | jrib, ok, how do I see what is left. | 22:37 |
| wildbat | kleopatra, of coz | 22:37 |
| Chikokishi | Sensiva, what is the Ubuntu equivalent to windows ctrl+alt+delete? | 22:38 |
| jrib | shane2peru: well... check the relevant f-spot folders. In addition to that, you should rename the f-spot directory in your home | 22:38 |
| Chikokishi | Im trying to work Warsow, but it keeps freezing, and i dont like cold restarting my computer | 22:38 |
| Sensiva | Chikokishi Do you mean task manager? | 22:38 |
| Kingsy101 | sorry I didnt mean to be ungrateful its just hehe there is something things you cant be bothered to read about heh | 22:38 |
| Chikokishi | Sensiva yeah | 22:38 |
| kim0 | Hi folks .. Do I need to do something to enable the patented font hinting to make fonts look nicer on Lucid ? | 22:38 |
| blain | Chikokishi top | 22:39 |
| jrib | Kingsy101: whether we type them or just give you a url where they've been typed already, the instructions still have to be read by you | 22:39 |
| Sensiva | Chikokishi press CTRL+F1 this will lead you to the console, kill any frozen process then come back to the desktop enviroment using CTRL+F7 | 22:39 |
| Chikokishi | blain ? | 22:39 |
| blain | open a konsole | 22:39 |
| blain | type top | 22:39 |
| Sensiva | Chikokishi or in System -> Administration -> System Monitor | 22:39 |

| Chikokishi | Sensiva, i just tried CTRL+f1, but nothing happened | 22:40 |
| slidinghorn | blain: also, please don't use enter as punctuation :) | 22:40 |

| slidinghorn | !ask | Sk1nk | 22:41 |
| ubottu | Sk1nk: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 22:41 |
| blain | Chikokishi open a terminal, can you do that? | 22:41 |
| Chikokishi | Sensiva Holy crap.. i totally thought i had destroyed my computer when i did that.. hahaha | 22:41 |

| Chikokishi | blain, i was wondering how to kill frozen programs when i cant reach my desktop. Im trying to play Warsow, but it keeps locking up on me | 22:42 |
| BigMao | Hi there, I'm back! Adding "text" to /etc/default/grub worked perfectly. I have another question .. what's the meaning of certain configuration files in /etc being followed by a dash (e.g. passwd-)? They seem to be copies, are they backups from a dist-upgradE? | 22:42 |
| blain | killall name | 22:42 |
| Sensiva | Chikokishi nope you didn't , maybe you need to crawl a bit in Ubuntu community documentation, its an interesting place for brief technical articles that for sure would help you | 22:42 |
| osmosis | slidinghorn, it's failing to stop the server because the server isn't running, because it won't start? | 22:42 |
| Sensiva | Chikokishi and who knows one day you might enlighten us with your articles as well ;) | 22:42 |
| slidinghorn | osmosis, paste the output of top to http://paste.ubuntu.com please | 22:42 |
| shane2peru | jrib, ahh, I missed the folder .config/f-spot I found the other, .gconf/apps/f-spot but that first one was the problem, thanks! | 22:42 |
| Chikokishi | Sensiva, so once i get to the console thing.. How would i shut down the program that is frozen? | 22:43 |
| slidinghorn | Sk1nk, what do you mean the mixer is gone? | 22:43 |
| blain | killall | 22:43 |
| blain | or using kill with pid | 22:43 |
| Chikokishi | blain just type killall? | 22:43 |
| Sensiva | Chikokishi first you need to know its process PID by listing all running process using "ps" , then kill it using kill <pid> | 22:43 |
| blain | man killall | 22:43 |
| Loshki | BigMao: yes, they are generally backups. Also maybe named passwd.bak or something similar. Might as well keep them around, you never know when they'll come in handy... | 22:44 |
| slidinghorn | blain: could you please include the nick of whoever you're talking to? It's getting confusing | 22:44 |
| Sk1nk | Slidinghorn, I think there was a mixer in 9.10 and 9.04 where I could choose capturedevices, but if I now open Audio there is just the window where i could configure the Hardware. | 22:44 |
| osmosis | slidinghorn, http://dpaste.com/216125/ | 22:44 |
| jrib | shane2peru: cool | 22:44 |
| Sensiva | Chikokishi if the currently running processes are many using grep is a good idea, "ps | grep rhythmbox" ◀▬▬ that who list only rhythmbox | 22:44 |
| BigMao | Loshki, thanks. :) | 22:45 |

| Sensiva | Chikokishi a capital A not small a | 22:46 |
| Sk1nk | iceroot: jeah but turning on the volume of line-In in the Alsamixer just puts out the sound to the analog output, not to the spif, even if it is configured in pulseaudio to be the default device | 22:46 |

| jpds | [background] | 23:12 |

| judgen | kb9tui, i am truly sorry, i have no idea what app that is. Try running a ps -A to locate it | 23:13 |
| slidinghorn | megra, please don't recommend sudo su...use sudo -i instead | 23:13 |

| kb9tui | judgen: its name is simply "mail" | 23:14 |
| BluesKaj | just got here , judgen | 23:14 |
| Mattias | iceroot: any other way to shutdown after mplayer ends? | 23:14 |
| judgen | BluesKaj, wellcome then =D | 23:15 |
| iceroot | Mattias: mplayer has a shutdown-option | 23:15 |
| Mattias | O.o | 23:15 |
| Mattias | great! | 23:15 |
| Mattias | will check it out | 23:15 |
| BluesKaj | judgen, thanks :) | 23:15 |
| Sk1nk | slidinghorn: Do you know how the Applet that opens if I press "Audio Preferences" is called? Maybe I get some information about reconfiguring it if I could google the name? | 23:15 |
| slidinghorn | Sk1nk, volume/sound control is in the indicator applet | 23:15 |
| megra | iceroot, you could use a double "su", one to get priviledge for "halt" and another one inside to downgrade your previledge and start mplayer | 23:16 |
| judgen | kb9, that is hairloom and you should just use alt as modifier key | 23:16 |
| judgen | BluesKaj, i have seen no angries today, maybe it is going to be a greay day.. | 23:17 |
| judgen | great* | 23:17 |
| megra | iceroot, Mattias : something like that: sudo su -c "su 'mplayer /file.avi' $USER & sleep 3600 && halt" | 23:17 |
| ozBoy | i need some help with OpenFire XMPP server i set it upi but now i cant login to the admin console | 23:17 |
| dherde_ | Hi.. I am runing lucid and have installed nginx through Synaptic. when I try to restart nginx via "sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart" (or stop or start) I get "bash: /etc/init.d/nginx: Permission denied". Can anyone ell me why and how to fix it? | 23:17 |
| Mattias | great, just need to install WMII and this laptop has a working ubuntu :D | 23:17 |
| megra | iceroot, Mattias : and adapt 3600 to the length of the film in seconds | 23:17 |
| Mattias | megra: I guess it's just better to use the mplayer's own shutdown option :) | 23:18 |
| BluesKaj | judgen, well not yet anyway | 23:18 |
| megra | Mattias, really ? Oh, I just saw the previous lines... sure :D | 23:18 |
| yaaar | hey guys. i'm trying to print an image that's around 4" x 30" but when i print it it comes out scaled to fit on one 8.5x11" sheet of paper. I've tried going through the options but the only things i saw that looked relevant don't work: the "scaling" slider maxes out at 12% (which i assume is the scaling required to get it on one page) and the "shrink/crop/expand" selection doesn't seem to do... | 23:18 |
| yaaar | ...anything. | 23:18 |
| * Xthor is running lubuntu on his eeepc 900 | 23:18 | |
| Euphus | By the power of grascull! | 23:18 |
| iceroot | megra: what about pasting Cmnd_Alias DOWN = /sbin/shutdown, /sbin/halt, /sbin/reboot in the sudoers and dont use silly su stuff | 23:18 |
| Xthor | thiz is a fast netbook now | 23:18 |
| Mattias | aw god, vim not installed by default :på | 23:18 |
| euph0ria | i run a bash script with cron, when I check with ps -aux I find CRON, [sh] <defunct>, [cron] <defunct> lingering there.. any ideas? | 23:18 |
| Xthor | :) | 23:19 |
| yaaar | can anybody tell me how to print an image (either using preview or gimp, i don't much care) across multiple pages at 100% size? | 23:19 |
| judgen | Mattias, it is not hard to install | 23:19 |
| Mattias | I know :) | 23:19 |
| layedback | wats up | 23:19 |
| megra | iceroot, because that's unsafe, consider when you add external users... | 23:19 |
| Mattias | But update manager is running now -.- | 23:19 |
| Mattias | can't install it | 23:19 |
| iceroot | Mattias: i never understood why vim is not installed by default | 23:19 |
| megra | iceroot, are do it for current user only, it could be nice | 23:19 |
| megra | s/are/or/ | 23:19 |
| Mattias | iceroot: vi is installed tho | 23:19 |
| Mattias | :P | 23:19 |
| megra | Mattias, nano is isntalled too, enjoy | 23:20 |
| Mattias | I hate nano! | 23:20 |
| iceroot | megra: User_Alias ABSCHALTER = otto, anna, berta Cmnd_Alias DOWN = /sbin/shutdown, /sbin/halt, /sbin/reboot ABSCHALTER ALL = NOPASSWD: DOWN | 23:20 |
| orangey | hello all. My upgrade from karmic -> lucid failed.. now i'm trying to install the pieces manually | 23:20 |
| iceroot | megra: what about that? | 23:20 |
| orangey | what is the package that takes care of the boot splash? | 23:20 |
| Mattias | It was the first text editor I got to use when I first used Gentoo | 23:20 |
| iceroot | Mattias: vi != vim | 23:20 |
| orangey | and is there really no metapackage that does it all? | 23:20 |
| Mattias | My main comp is now a proud Arch box | 23:20 |
| orangey | like ubuntu-desktop should?? | 23:20 |
| megra | iceroot, it seems effective and clean to me | 23:20 |
| iceroot | megra: so you have user-specifc sudo-settings | 23:21 |
| Euphus | Arch = slackbased? | 23:21 |
| megra | orangey, I know you won't like my answer, but consider reinstalling from scratch after backuping your data. Failed upgrade usually are a nigthmare :) | 23:21 |
| orangey | that's it! plymouth-theme-ubuntu | 23:21 |
| orangey | megra: nah. | 23:22 |
| orangey | megra: it would be a personal failure | 23:22 |
| orangey | like rebooting : ) | 23:22 |
| BluesKaj | Mattias, odd, vi is installed by default with kde users | 23:22 |
| megra | orangey, you can try to know which packages are installed by default on a brand new Lucid ubuntu, and installed the same | 23:22 |
| Mattias | BluesKaj: vi is installed default for nearly all distros | 23:22 |
| zkriesse | Sensiva: Did you install the Bansee ppa? | 23:22 |
| zkriesse | "banshee | 23:23 |
| iceroot | BluesKaj: but noone wants to use vi, the people want to use vim | 23:23 |
| Mattias | exactly! | 23:23 |
| Mattias | vim for the people! | 23:23 |
| Sensiva | zkriesse yes I said that already, but the currently installed version is from lucid-updates | 23:23 |
| zkriesse | ok | 23:23 |
| zkriesse | Sensiva: Hmm | 23:23 |
| slidinghorn | Euphus, that's off-topic for here, but Arch is pacman based | 23:23 |
| BluesKaj | really ? , well to each his own , I just use the run command box for text files | 23:24 |
| zkriesse | Sensiva: So has it worked for a while and THEN it failed or did you do an install of it and then poof, fails right of the get go | 23:24 |
| Sensiva | zkriesse was working fine, till I rebooted that day, it never showed up again | 23:24 |
| Sensiva | zkriesse I didn't install any extra packages | 23:24 |
| zkriesse | hmm | 23:24 |
| malvarma | Archlinux and pacman stuff can be discussed in #archlinux | 23:24 |
| malvarma | :P | 23:25 |
| Mattias | I'm afraid to install the latest nvidia-drivers, I heard that it will prevent brightness levels from working | 23:25 |
| Mattias | -.- | 23:25 |
| Mattias | works with default drivers that comes with the cd | 23:25 |
| iceroot | megra: i also figured out you just have to put the username in /etc/shutdown.allowd and call shutdown -a -h now no need to mess with sudo | 23:25 |
| Mattias | Anyone happens to have a Toshiba Qosmio G40 in here? | 23:25 |
| slidinghorn | malvarma, hence, why I told him it was off-topic here... | 23:25 |
| iceroot | !anyone | Mattias | 23:26 |
| ubottu | Mattias: 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? | 23:26 |
| judgen | Ok i have no help requests pending, anyone need anything? | 23:26 |
| Mattias | iceroot: that was my real question :/ | 23:26 |
| malvarma | slidinghorn, right. | 23:27 |
| merlin2049er | exit | 23:27 |
| slidinghorn | Mattias, ok...if someone said they did, what would you have asked them? | 23:27 |
| Mattias | slidinghorn: Toshiba power! | 23:27 |
| judgen | BluesKaj, i mean today is quiet, i usually juggle between 2-5 helps at once =) | 23:27 |
| Mattias | I guess I'm alone :/ | 23:27 |
| iceroot | Mattias: this is ubuntu support not toshiba fanboy-channel | 23:27 |
| judgen | BluesKaj, maybe everyone just know by now. hehe | 23:27 |
| megra | iceroot, I prefer the sudoers way though :) , anyway, good night, it's midnight in France, let's go to bed! | 23:28 |
| BluesKaj | judgen, wait til the next updates are posted in the repos :) | 23:28 |
| Mattias | I'll ask my other questions in queue: Is there a detailed tutorial on how to easily switch to WMII from default gnome in ubuntu? :) | 23:28 |
| judgen | BluesKaj, true | 23:28 |
| judgen | WMII(2)? or WMII | 23:29 |
| Euphus | slidinghorn, ; can u help me with my vista home edition? it runns slow?? | 23:29 |
| Mattias | WMII, version 3.6 | 23:29 |
| judgen | !ubot windows | 23:29 |
| slidinghorn | Euphus, no, sorry...you need to ask that question in ##windows | 23:29 |
| dugger5688 | Mattias: I would imagine you install it and then under your login prefs set it as the default session. | 23:30 |
| Karth | I just put an old Yamaha DS-XG sound card in my PC and ubuntu isn't detecting it, what should I do to get it working? | 23:30 |
| Euphus | stupid, i just did | 23:30 |
| judgen | Karth, x64? | 23:30 |
| Mattias | dugger5688: I'd like it to have no gdm running either ^.^ | 23:30 |
| Karth | nope | 23:30 |
| slidinghorn | Euphus, well this channel is for ubuntu support only. We don't offer support for Microsoft products here | 23:30 |
| Karth | x86 | 23:30 |
| Mattias | so I guess, settings in .xinitrc, .xprofile or something | 23:30 |
| dugger5688 | Hmm, what's the login manager for WMII? | 23:30 |
| Mattias | dugger5688: console | 23:30 |
| judgen | Karth, did it work in earlier versions of the kernel? | 23:30 |
| Mattias | startx | 23:30 |
| Karth | judgen: no idea, came from a parted win98 system after the intergrated sound in this PC blew | 23:31 |
| Euphus | slidinghorn, but i did ask in a window.. | 23:31 |
| slidinghorn | Euphus, please don't troll here | 23:31 |
| slidinghorn | !ot > Euphus | 23:31 |
| ubottu | Euphus, please see my private message | 23:31 |
| tjscreations | How can I allow remote X connection on Lucid (i.e remove the -nolisten tcp from X startup)? | 23:32 |
| dugger5688 | Mattias: Try this maybe? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1322949 | 23:32 |
| judgen | Karth, could you give me the details on your sound card (atleast as good as you can) as yamaha never made any sound cards only the chips for the cards. | 23:32 |
| judgen | model's and such are good | 23:32 |
| zkriesse | Sensiva: I'm sorry but i've got no idea what's wrong | 23:32 |
| Karth | Judgen: sorry that is the info on the chip, its got no stickers on it but it used Yamaha DS XG PCi drivers on the 98 | 23:32 |
| Sensiva | zkriesse thank you very much for trying, much appreciated, and congratulations for the membership | 23:32 |
| zkriesse | Sensiva: Ah ok... | 23:33 |
| zkriesse | Sensiva: what membership | 23:33 |
| Mattias | gah, ubuntu wants me to restart | 23:33 |
| judgen | Karth, i assume you use the default ALSA and pulseaudio? | 23:33 |
| Mattias | brb | 23:33 |
| Sensiva | zkriesse Ubuntu membership | 23:33 |
| Karth | Jungen: yep default AFAIK | 23:33 |
| zkriesse | Sensiva: Ah ok...had that for a while now | 23:33 |
| Sensiva | :D | 23:34 |

| Joaz | Hi, since I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 I have a lot USB hub crashes, like every 1-2 days of operation. Computer runs (for example I can see a screensaver) but not any USB device works anymore. Any thoughts? | 23:34 |
| Imam_Ali | Hello, i have a deadcell in my screen | 23:35 |
| Imam_Ali | how can I remove it? | 23:35 |
| === ey_ is now known as EY-Archive | ||
| judgen | Karth, ALSA is a movin architecture, and it might be worhtwhile to try using OSS4 instead, as it supports almost all cards from hercules2 to RT888. but you might find that the default mixer might be a bit low.. but if it works we will get to that later. | 23:35 |
| slidinghorn | Imam_Ali, not sure what you mean by "deadcell" | 23:35 |
| Karth | judgen: alright, how would I go about that? | 23:35 |
| Imam_Ali | wait | 23:35 |
| Imam_Ali | it's gone, slidinghorn | 23:35 |
| Imam_Ali | so nevermind :| | 23:36 |
| slidinghorn | Imam_Ali, lol ok | 23:36 |
| Imam_Ali | slidinghorn: like, a black "dot" in the screen :p | 23:36 |
| webPragmatist | wheres a common place to store your ssl keys | 23:36 |
| judgen | Karth, should be fairly easy on an default ubuntu box. just install OSS and it's dependencies. Pick it in the sound system preferences dialogue and log in and out.. | 23:36 |
| tm0 | Hi i am having trouble with the Gnome Partition Editor, and i can't seem ot update it | 23:37 |
| webPragmatist | i've been throwing them in /var/www/mydomain.com/ssl | 23:37 |
| webPragmatist | but it seems odd | 23:37 |
| Karth | judgen: ok, let me go do that | 23:37 |
| matyd | ok so i just installed ubuntu 10.04 desktop edition to my dell dimension 2400 (yes, old) and it works great for a while.... after a while the screen goes black and the top half of the screen flashes white intermittently, i am not understranding it... GUI problem? | 23:37 |
| grand_grunt | Hi, I'm trying to select packages I install while using Ubiquity. How to do that? I'd like to tell it "I want this one, this one, and that's all" | 23:37 |
| matyd | rebooting fixes it until i get back on it heh | 23:37 |
| slidinghorn | tm0, are you logged into your machine or on a livecd? you cannot edit partitions while the HDD is mounted | 23:37 |
| tm0 | Slidinghorn, i am editing a partition that is not mounted as the primary one. | 23:38 |
| slidinghorn | tm0, primary or not...if you are mounted to the drive, you can't edit the partitions | 23:38 |
| judgen | grand_grunt, i dont to want to be a "retard" (maybe that is illegal now since Palin said it is offensice) but have you tried synaptic instead? | 23:38 |
| Mattias | oh god -.- It's 00:38 -.- I guess I'll fix WMII tomorrow | 23:38 |
| slidinghorn | judgen, as much as I can't stand her...it's probably best to keep politics out of here ;) | 23:39 |
| Karth | judgen: according to this OSS is installed already | 23:39 |
| tm0 | Slidinghorn, i don't get what you mean? It let me start the operation, unlike the Ubuntu partition, but stopped after a few minutes | 23:39 |
| grand_grunt | judgen: Let me explain. I want to install some parts of backtrack on a 2 Go hard drive. backtracks needs 4 Go to install all. | 23:39 |
| slidinghorn | tm0: the question is, are you logged into your Ubuntu installation? if you are, you cannot edit the partitions. | 23:40 |
| judgen | Karth, do you have the oss-alsa libs? | 23:40 |
| euph0ria | grand_grunt: buy bigger usb stick :) | 23:40 |
| grand_grunt | euph0ria: It's a real IDE hard drive, yeah :D | 23:40 |
| BluesKaj | well, wife's windows pc needs some help, again ...BBL | 23:40 |
| matyd | is there anyway i can fix my problem? I don't even know why the screen goes balck..... theres nothing i can do either... only thing i know to do is restart and it works for a little while but then goes black again | 23:40 |
| euph0ria | grand_grunt: buy bigger IDE hdd :) | 23:40 |
| Karth | judgen: ah no didn't have the alsa wrapper, installing | 23:40 |
| tm0 | Slidinghorn i am. But i'm trying to edit a windows one. I could've sworn i did it before | 23:41 |
| judgen | grand_grunt, excuse my stupidity, what is a Go? a Gb or a GB, or something else? | 23:41 |
| Euphus | lunatic! | 23:41 |
| slidinghorn | tm0, doesn't matter which partition you're trying to edit...you have to do it from a livecd | 23:41 |
| grand_grunt | judgen: It's a Gigabyte | 23:41 |
| tm0 | That stupidish. :/ Fine i guess, thanks a later Slidinghorn | 23:42 |
| judgen | Karth, without the wrapper you should not hear a single sound from an alsa bound app | 23:42 |
| grand_grunt | judgen: anyway, not the point ;) | 23:42 |
| BiggFREE | Hi | 23:42 |
| judgen | grand_grunt, do you want a bootable usb with parts of backtracks? | 23:43 |
| Euphus | slidinghorn, ; Arch is slack based | 23:43 |
| Karth | well the sound card still doesn't appear in sound options | 23:43 |
| grand_grunt | judgen: No, a IDE drive, but it's the same (I use a IDE-USB adapter) | 23:44 |
| paiin | hry | 23:44 |
| judgen | grand_grunt, are you sure you do not mean backports? because backtrack is not an app i have heard of outside the amiga community. | 23:45 |
| Plimmer | I have a problem mounting one of my 3 drives. When I try and manually mount it (sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/test) I just get a busy error. | 23:45 |
| Karth | judgen: does it matter that the card is 12 years old now? | 23:45 |
| slidinghorn | Euphus, no...it's not...and yet again, that is not to be discussed here. Last warning before the ops are alerted | 23:45 |
| boyblue | i am unable to install ubuntu it freezes during partitioning when i try to partition myself it give me an error message "Error creating partition daemon is inhibited" how can i fix the problem? | 23:45 |
| grand_grunt | judgen: backtrack provides patched wireless drivers that I need | 23:45 |
| Plimmer | It's an ext3 formatted drive and it worked 2 hrs ago. | 23:45 |
| judgen | Karth, no, OSS can use my vortex1 that is from 1990 witrhout any problems | 23:45 |
| Karth | judgen: odd, well the package is installed but nothing | 23:46 |
| Euphus | slidinghorn, ; did that message make you feel powerfull? and yes it is google it god damnit!! | 23:46 |
| thune3 | matyd: are you affected by https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes , you can run "lspci | grep VGA" to see if you have 8xx series graphics | 23:46 |
| judgen | Karth, but remember old chips as well as new ones to a various degree is mad out of silicon, and might be broken. | 23:46 |
| slidinghorn | !language | euphus No...Arch is not based of anything...it's inspired by crux but that is it...now drop it. | 23:46 |
| Karth | judgen: the card works, I used it a week ago before that pc was parted | 23:46 |
| ubottu | euphus No...Arch is not based of anything...it's inspired by crux but that is it...now drop it.: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 23:46 |
| matyd | ok so i just installed ubuntu 10.04 desktop edition to my dell dimension 2400 (yes, old) and it works great for a while.... after a while the screen goes black and the top half of the screen flashes white intermittently, i am not understranding it... GUI problem? | 23:46 |
| judgen | Karth, also you *might* have to reboot, sorry. | 23:46 |
| Karth | judgen: lol well brb then | 23:47 |
| judgen | grand_grunt, what does backtrack do? | 23:47 |
| Euphus | ok, if somebody knows my only linux-prob i`ll bow to u.. wanna try? | 23:47 |
| grand_grunt | judgen: I need it's aircrack-ng features | 23:47 |
| Plimmer | I can even see the partition when I do a sudo fdisk -l | 23:48 |
| Plimmer | Can someone help me please, I have no idear where to go from here. :\ | 23:48 |
| judgen | grand_grunt, For cracking your wifes separate wifi? =D | 23:48 |
| grand_grunt | judgen: Who cares? | 23:48 |
| wizard_ | can someone please help me with video problem in xbmc all video will play fine in mplayer but when I play it in xmcb i only get sound and then it will crash xmbc | 23:49 |
| grand_grunt | judgen: I ask about ubiquity and the possibility to choose packages it installs. | 23:49 |
| Karth | hmm, still no go on the sound card | 23:49 |
| Euphus | slidinghorn, : slolve my prob? wine kills my spotify sound, have to run it from terminal to get it right.. why do my soundcard crash when i run it up from a shortcut? | 23:49 |
| judgen | grand_grunt, can't you pick what you want from synaptic, was my first answer. | 23:49 |
| Jordan_U | Plimmer: Does "pgrep fsck" print any output? | 23:50 |
| slidinghorn | Euphus, wine support isn't offered here either. ask in #winehq | 23:50 |
| judgen | I dont mind hacking of wifis. as long as it isnt in malignant purposes. | 23:50 |
| civixier | hmm... in power management preferences, if I set the "put computer to sleep when inactive" to 10 minutes. does the computer counts intself as inactive if I stream from it to my xbox? | 23:50 |
| Euphus | whut? | 23:50 |
| Plimmer | Jordan_U: Yes, 422 and 434 | 23:50 |
| Jordan_U | Plimmer: Fsck is being run in the background, just wait untill it's finished (do *not* try to kill fsck or shut down) | 23:51 |
| judgen | <Euphus> wine is an app for translation of calls from the xserver to win32/64 api | 23:51 |
| dugger5688 | civixier: yes, most likely unless the program you're using can poke the gnome-screensaver and keep it from turning on. | 23:51 |
| Plimmer | Jordan_U: Okay. :) | 23:51 |
| Euphus | judgen, ohh?? hehe | 23:52 |
| Plimmer | Jordan_U: Thanks alot. :) | 23:52 |
| Jordan_U | Plimmer: You're welcome :) | 23:53 |
| civixier | dugger5688: hmm... actually i am sharing my video files via samba. maybe it doesnt matter. | 23:53 |
| judgen | civixier, First of all, if you use a LDC you do not need a screensaver now'adays. But if you want one anyways you can autostart vlc with a movie in a certain movie every time you are inactive for a certain amount of time. | 23:53 |
| Euphus | civixier, : so u trust samba? | 23:53 |
| civixier | euphus, working so far :) | 23:54 |
| Karth | judgen: so any suggestions on the sound card? | 23:54 |
| civixier | judgen, the whole computer to sleep, not a screensaver | 23:54 |
| Euphus | civixier, : not too good for open ports.. much bugs in samba | 23:54 |
| judgen | Karth, ok let me ask you this, (i know you said it before) but what is the model of your card or chip. | 23:54 |
| dugger5688 | civixier: why is a fileserver set to sleep anyway? | 23:54 |
| mo__ | civixier: why sleep? it isn't running on battery - is it? | 23:55 |
| slidinghorn | Euphus: do you have an ubuntu support question or not? If not, please take your off-topic banter to #ubuntu-offtopic | 23:55 |
| Karth | a Yamaha DS-XG PCI, I can't be more specific unfortunately as the sticker fell off a long while ago | 23:55 |
| civixier | euphus, its a crossover cable ;) | 23:55 |
| Euphus | civixier, ;) | 23:55 |
| judgen | civixier, why do you need sleep at a certain time? intend to sleep by the computer? just put it in sleep when you leave it =P (so sorry if that sounded condescending) | 23:55 |
| cameron242 | I am in need of help enabling wireless internet for Ubuntu 10.04 | 23:56 |
| civixier | mo__ I rather want the computer to hibernate when inactive | 23:56 |
| Euphus | slidinghorn, ?? | 23:56 |
| mo__ | civixier: that shoudn't be a prob .. however, I'm more worried about the wakeup. how o you intent to wake it up? | 23:56 |

| slidinghorn | Euphus, it was pretty straight forward...you've not provided any type of support, nor have you asked any ubuntu-related questions. Those are the only two types of posts to be put in here. So please, either stay on topic and ask your ubuntu-related question/help out, or go to the off topic channel. | 23:58 |
