| dugger5688 | wizard_: How did you install it? | 00:00 |
| cameron242 | I have a question: If I download the 32 bit version of this (http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php), how would I install it? | 00:00 |
| civixier | mo__ I think we have lost eachother on the way. I have an xbox, connected to my computer via a crossover cable. I want to be able to fall asleep while watching something. Both the xbox and the TV turn theirself off when inactive, i want the computer to do the same thing. | 00:00 |
| wizard_ | dugger5688, from a website added the repo and it installed | 00:00 |

| timemachine3030 | I'm looking for a command line javascript interpreter but i can't find any in the repos. anyone know of something I can use? | 00:00 |
| pteague | any ideas on debugging what might be wrong with my audio? it worked fine yesterday & today it wasn't working at all except for line-in... i ran `aptitude safe-upgrade` before rebooting & now i'm not getting any audio | 00:01 |
| wizard_ | dugger5688, yes ppa mate | 00:01 |
| Euphus | slidinghorn, ; why do not my tuxracer work ? | 00:01 |
| slidinghorn | !details | Euphus | 00:01 |
| ubottu | Euphus: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 00:01 |
| eycel | doope | 00:02 |
| eycel | do | 00:02 |
| Euphus | innstaled it two times, never works | 00:02 |
| mo__ | civixier: ah yes ;) so .. hmmm... let sleepd watch the network device you use to connect to the xbox and set the --tx-min to something useful ... like more than 100kbit or so ... | 00:02 |
| dugger5688 | wizard_: What graphics card? | 00:02 |
| mo__ | civixier: why don't you manually tell the computer to shutdown / fall asleep after a certain time? that's what I usually do ;) | 00:02 |
| jvai | hey, i just upgraded to 10.04, installed on an ibm thinkpad z60m, with radeon x600 graphics card... x keeps stalling! can i down grade back to 8.04? | 00:02 |
| wizard_ | dugger5688, ATI catalyst | 00:03 |
| civixier | mo__ That was my original question, if the computer counts itself as inactive if the network is "running" :) | 00:03 |
| Euphus | slidinghorn, ; i have a lucid 10.04, downloaded and installed tux2 and racer twice.. when i click on it nothing happens. | 00:03 |
| civixier | mo__ but it doesnt? | 00:03 |
| mo__ | civixier: I wasn't here back then :p but yes, that's possible :) | 00:03 |
| cameron242 | I have a question: If I download the 32 bit version of this (http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php), how would I install it? | 00:03 |
| slidinghorn | Euphus, run it from the terminal and post the error(s) to http://paste.ubuntu.com | 00:03 |
| mo__ | civixier: you told sleepd to behave this way and it didn't work? | 00:03 |
| dugger5688 | wizard_: closed source drivers or open source? | 00:04 |
| civixier | mo__ ahh, thank you ^^ so... how do I set the computer to hibernate after a certain time of inactivity? :D | 00:04 |
| civixier | mo__ I havent done anything so far | 00:04 |
| mo__ | civixier: sec | 00:04 |
| wizard_ | dugger5688, I've installed opengl, mfegg codecs and everything nothing wont play video nor did boxee how can I find that out mate, I installed ubunut and everything worked | 00:04 |
| cameron242 | I have a question: If I download the 32 bit version of this (http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php), how would I install it? | 00:05 |
| Loshki | jvai: unless you made a full backup before you upgraded, you can't downgrade. Your closest alternative would be to reinstall 8.04 from scratch, or fix your x11 problem (easier said than done). Sorry... | 00:05 |
| Euphus | cameron242, : google it | 00:05 |
| slidinghorn | !google | euph0ria | 00:05 |

| slidinghorn | oops | 00:05 |
| slidinghorn | Euphus, see what ubottu said | 00:05 |
| mo__ | civixier: man 8 pm-suspend - you can use it like this ... sleep 3600; pm-suspend; that would let it wait for an hour, then execute suspend | 00:06 |
| cameron242 | Euphus: I have tried everything. I am literally like 2 hours new to this stuff. | 00:06 |
| cameron242 | I thought this was support chat | 00:06 |
| wizard_ | dugger5688, it says opengl in graphics card info | 00:06 |
| mo__ | civixier: ugly thingy is, that if you ctrl-c the sleep, it'll go immediatly to suspend ... hmmm sleep 3600 && pm-suspend should do the trick ... sry about the mixup before | 00:06 |
| wizard_ | dugger5688, version 8.723.1 | 00:07 |
| slidinghorn | cameron242, it is...ignore Euphus -- he's been trolling the room for the past hour or so | 00:07 |

| BoBsoN | how to lock updates of kernel? | 00:07 |
| matyd | 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... To get arond this (for a very short time, since it keeps doing this) i just reboot and that works for a litte bit. | 00:07 |
| cameron242 | So basically | 00:07 |
| slidinghorn | Euphus, that's not true either. | 00:07 |
| cameron242 | I can't even connect at all? | 00:07 |

| slidinghorn | cameron242, it's a little technical, but it should work | 00:09 |
| Euphus | slidinghorn, ; why use ndiswrapper?? oohh, because ikt is not linux friendly?? | 00:09 |
| slidinghorn | !patience | matyd | 00:09 |
| ubottu | matyd: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 00:09 |
| slidinghorn | Euphus, do you have anything positive to contribute?? If not, then leave. | 00:09 |
| cameron242 | slidinghorn: Do I run that from Accessories>>Terminal? (Sorry this is the first time I've ever used linux) | 00:10 |

| cameron242 | i am doing that now | 00:12 |
| mo__ | bobbytek: 1.) do you use extensions 2.) how does it crash? does it freeze, crash on it's own - do you get an errormessage? | 00:12 |

| clayg | I'm using a netbook and trying to install a few games through wine/playonlinux. I'm having some problems that I think might be because wine/pol is looking for an actual cd-rom drive instead of the images im mounting with gmount. Is there anyway to "fool" ubuntu into thinking a directory is the cdrom drive? | 00:20 |
| IdleOne | cameron242: follow Jordan_U | 00:20 |
| clayg | Like on diablo it's telling me it doesn't have the play cd in drive, while the play cd is mounted - installation works, playing does not, same with WOW | 00:20 |
| LinuxUser123 | hi i seem to be having an issue where the resolution on my insignia 22 inch monitor will not change to anything larger than 1024 X 768. How can I fix this? The nvidia settings will allow me to select something higher but then the monitor goes black. | 00:20 |
| clayg | well playcd image is mounted | 00:20 |
| lwilliams | Hi. I did a system update yesterday night and when I turned the computer on today, my home directory vanished. I think ecryptfs screwed something up | 00:21 |
| Karth | Judgen: ok, swapped cards, this one appears in the device manager, but not in sound options | 00:21 |
| Euphus | LinuxUser123, sure you have the right driver | 00:21 |
| mo__ | clayg: copyprotection & linux emulation is always a pain ... do you really want to bother? | 00:21 |
| Euphus | ? | 00:21 |
| dugger5688 | clayg: go to winecfg and set one of the drives to the directory that the CD is mounted to. | 00:22 |
| thune3 | matyd: the screen going irreversibly black qualifies as a lockup. You can hit shift on boot and add "i915.modeset=1" after "quiet splash" to the grub line. If this fixes your problem then you can make this permanent using the commands in the yellow box of 'Workaround A' | 00:22 |
| lwilliams | I was wondering if I could get help recovering my home folder from .Private | 00:22 |
| mo__ | clayg: afaik, with the latest diablo2 patch you don't need the play cd any more if you copy the MQPs over ;) | 00:22 |
| LinuxUser123 | Euphus: no, but it does the same thing on the proprietary nvidia driver as the non-proprietary driver | 00:22 |
| Euphus | LinuxUser123, and your card is a nvidia? | 00:23 |
| Jordan_U | cameron242: Once you have them downloaded put them somewhere where they will be easy to find within Ubuntu, like C:\. Tell me when you're done with that. | 00:23 |
| LinuxUser123 | Euphus: yes | 00:23 |
| jairamc | Am using Ubuntu 10.04. I recently installed the Bisigi themes. But as the screenshots suggest, my login screen does not change. Any help? Am a little new to Ubuntu.. | 00:23 |
| judgen | Karth, that is usual due to the identifier only using 4bit space | 00:23 |
| LinuxUser123 | Euphus: when i use a different monitor all is fine | 00:23 |
| mo__ | lwilliams: did you write down the loooong password that ubuntu gave you after you first set up your encrypted homedir? | 00:23 |
| LinuxUser123 | Euphus: its only this 22" thing | 00:23 |
| lwilliams | yeah | 00:23 |
| Euphus | LinuxUser123, ; then the monitor can`t handle it | 00:23 |
| LinuxUser123 | Euphus: any way around it? | 00:24 |
| mo__ | lwilliams: eh, k, I didn't expect that. let me check. | 00:24 |
| cameron242 | Jordan_U: Ok. I installed Ubuntu on C:\ | 00:24 |
| lwilliams | I tried following some instructions to remount it elsewhere, but the mount came up empty | 00:24 |

| Euphus | LinuxUser123, ; it can`t handle it | 00:26 |
| dugger5688 | LinuxUser123: That looks like a TV... It can't go higher than 720p I'm guessing (~1024x768) | 00:26 |
| Jordan_U | cameron242: Ok, now boot into Ubuntu and run "ls /host" in a terminal and tell me if those two files are listed. | 00:26 |
| LinuxUser123 | Euphus: says it supports 1680x1050 | 00:27 |

| LinuxUser123 | dugger5688; it is 720p but im not sure what that means, specs show 1680X1050 | 00:28 |

| cameron242 | Jordan_U: Where do I add the files? Ubuntu is installed in C:\ubuntu | 00:32 |
| ownlife | Bah, nm, I'm going to consult the forums! | 00:32 |
| Jordan_U | cameron242: Install them in C:\ubuntu then. (it doesn't really matter where they go, as long as they can be found easily) | 00:32 |
| cameron242 | ok | 00:33 |
| lwilliams | what happened was I originally had encryption installed. Then I disabled it somehow (I believe by editing some settings file, but I forget what). I then copied my files over to a clean home folder (with no .Private) , and all was good for a few weeks. Then last night, ubuntu did an update and I think overwrote a settings file and this morning, when I turned the machien on, no home folder but a .private folder | 00:33 |
| cameron242 | Okay, rebooting to load ubuntu | 00:33 |
| lee__ | Question, I deleted my linux partition in windows and when I reboot with the windows installation CD and select repair to fix the mbr it can't find the harddrive? | 00:34 |
| cameron242 | ok | 00:35 |
| cameron242 | rebooted | 00:35 |
| cameron242 | gonna write that code you said | 00:35 |
| mo__ | lwilliams: I'd try using a livecd to check the home partition directly, without ubuntu trying to mount the encrypted stuff. perhaps something got mixed up there. just a shot in the dark though .. | 00:35 |
| lwilliams | like use the same instructions, but boot with a livecd first? | 00:36 |
| cameron242 | Jordan_U: I ran that line and they didn't show | 00:36 |
| lwilliams | is it possible to see if the key I wrote down is correct? | 00:36 |
| mo__ | lwilliams: you think your data was decrypted - so check if it is there, unencrypted. if it isn't, try to decrypt it and then copy it over to a unencrypted filesys. | 00:36 |
| cameron242 | Jordan_U: I ran that line and they didn't show | 00:37 |
| lwilliams | I think the update from last night somehow went and re-encrypted it | 00:37 |
| thebishop | hello | 00:38 |
| cameron242 | Jordan_U: These are all files from C:\ no C:\ubuntu | 00:38 |
| cameron242 | *not | 00:38 |
| mo__ | lwilliams: I don't think it would re-encrypt it, but perhaps think it is encrypted and cannot decrypt it - althought it isnt at all. and therefore get mixed up..... dunno. livecd was just an idea. | 00:38 |
| thebishop | is anyone else having miserable performance with Rhythmbox and Evince? I suspect it's a gvfs or fuse issue | 00:38 |
| Jordan_U | cameron242: Since you put them in C:\ubuntu\ the proper command to check for the files would be "ls /host/ubuntu" | 00:38 |
| lwilliams | ah, yeah that makes sense | 00:39 |
| cameron242 | ok | 00:39 |

| Jordan_U | cameron242: Good, now run "sudo tar -xf /host/ubuntu/b43-firmware-lucid.tar.gz -C /lib/firmware/" and "sudo tar -xf /host/ubuntu/b43legacy-firmware-lucid.tar.gz -C /lib/firmware/" | 00:40 |
| Jordan_U | cameron242: Be sure to type it exactly, and note that it's a capital 'C'. | 00:41 |
| vuln | Has anyone ever installed the last version of Ubuntu in a notebook ASUS Eee PC 701? | 00:42 |
| cameron242 | Jordan_U: Seperate or same lines? | 00:42 |
| Jordan_U | cameron242: Seperate. | 00:42 |
| cameron242 | So I wait for the first | 00:42 |
| cameron242 | then run the second? | 00:42 |
| Jordan_U | cameron242: Yes, though they both should finish almost instantly (with no output if everything went properly) | 00:43 |
| cameron242 | ok | 00:43 |

| failsafe5000 | i found a program made by vmware that does the conversion from physical to virtual, question though, on my windows install i have my programs installed to a separate drive, will the virtualized os still see that hard drive? | 01:04 |
| Euphus | bie folkz | 01:04 |
| acaire | failsafe5000: you can convert that drive also, and add it to the virtual machine - depending on which software you use, it might do it for you. | 01:05 |

| failsafe5000 | acaire, ok, because that is the biggest thing that would keep me from doing it, if i can keep all my programs working that i would just run windows in a virtualized environment on ubuntu | 01:07 |
| wizard_ | slidinghorn, no one talks in it or I would lol | 01:07 |

| Plasmastar | I am not too happy. | 01:15 |
| Plasmastar | While installing Kubuntu, the installer crashed when I pulled it out of a sleep like mode. | 01:15 |
| Plasmastar | Why is the installer going into sleep mode in the first place? | 01:16 |
| acaire | lee__: if you're using a SATA hdd it's possible the windows cd doesn't have drivers for it - is it xp? | 01:16 |
| lee__ | acaire: Yes | 01:16 |
| lee__ | acaire: So i'm probably going to have to hook up maybe a usb floppy disk with drivers and press F6 right at the beginning of the windows cd startup | 01:17 |
| acaire | lee__: you'll need to use something like nLite to slipstream the SATA drivers into a new cd - I haven't had too much success in the past | 01:17 |
| acaire | yes if you have a floppy disk drive that's the best bet. | 01:17 |

| lee__ | acaire: So probably, when I first got my laptop if I had put in a windows XP cd, it would of told me it couldn't find the harddrive? | 01:20 |
| lee__ | acaire: or did this happen because I delete the linux partition? | 01:21 |
| realubot | nikolaos: I don't think that there is a way to turn a Wubi installation into a "real" Ubuntu installation. the installation process is straight forward and if you haven't installed a lot of software and done a lot of customization then it would be very easy ton install Ubuntu once again from Live CD. | 01:21 |
| hiexpo | nikolaos, yes fresh install start from scratch if you want tt right i would suggest | 01:21 |
| Mqueue | can anyone help me mount usb drive for Panasonic (Matsushita) Lumix DMC-FZ10 Camera | 01:21 |
| nikolaos | Alright, sounds fine. I have only installed a few trivial, useless applications and I have a Live CD sitting right by me. | 01:21 |
| nikolaos | Thanks for the quick responses! | 01:22 |
| realubot | nikolaos: Then would suggest to install it from scratch booting the Live CD. | 01:22 |
| realubot | *Then I would | 01:22 |
| nikolaos | Alright, will do. I'd best get started now - thanks, and bye! | 01:22 |
| hiexpo | nikolaos, kool live cd will walk u through it /// by the way use 9.10 if u want a smooth install and operating system 10.04 still has many bugs | 01:23 |
| realubot | hiexpo: What kind of bugs, I haven't had any problems with bugs in 10.04? | 01:23 |
| Sam_Fisher | slidinghorn, any idea how to get this triple booter working without leaving Supergrub disk in the drive? | 01:24 |
| nikolaos | Thanks, but I'm a Windows-user - I'd be freaked out if there weren't any bugs :P | 01:24 |
| qr | acaire: yes I have, unfortunately it has similar problems. the separate bash instances in screen do not share an agent unless screen is a child process of the agent already. The only option that leaves is to run all my connections into a shared screen session which is not very appealing. | 01:24 |
| slidinghorn | Sam_Fisher, no idea...never tried more than 2 os's | 01:24 |
| realubot | nikolaos: I use 10.04 and haven't got any problem with bugs but maybe hiexpo is right. | 01:24 |

| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 01:27 |

| bobbytek | Ideally more featured | 01:27 |

| Agu10 | amokpaule, yes, you can. I believe with compiz | 01:28 |
| slidinghorn | bobbytek, evolution's a full suite including tasks, calendars, etc. thunderbird (without extensions) is strictly email -- if you're looking for speed and don't need all the extras, I'd probably recommend thunderbird, as it doesn't have all the extras evolution has | 01:28 |
| acaire | lee__: no it wouldnt've been due to you removing the linux part, it would've always happened | 01:28 |
| realubot | DeadmanIncJS: maybe you will find the solution in that link. | 01:28 |

| * hiexpo realubot no prob | 01:34 | |
| acaire | realubot: maybe if the fixmbr didn't work, but if the hdd isn't visible at all, it's drivers. | 01:34 |

| geowany | hiexpo, yes! I'm using aptoncd | 01:40 |
| lee__ | acaire: thats whats interesting, the live cd works flawlessly, its once its installed. It never gets to the login screen, it show the cursor and then the cursors disappears and it just loops. | 01:40 |
| acaire | wizard_: alternatively you can press ALT+F2 and run "xkill" and just click on the app you want to kill, be careful using this. | 01:40 |

| RickyWh | how can i see the whole output of top if it's too large? | 01:40 |
| realubot | geowany: Maybe this is something that would be of interest: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/07/install-mintbackup-linux-mint-backup.html | 01:40 |
| hiexpo | geowany, well it will show all this available before you save if you cleaned your system there gone | 01:41 |

| realubot | shazbotmcnasty: The command you hav used seem to work for many people. Could it be that the DVD is copy protcted? I don't relly know. Maybe that doesn't matter. | 01:53 |

| bastidrazor | shazbotmcnasty: would you mind not using the 'enter' key as punctuation? it creates excess scroll when it can be avoided | 02:02 |
| MaRk-I | Savory_Snax_: power management | 02:02 |
| realubot | shazbotmcnasty: I found this explanation at ubuntuforums: "The dvd has structure protection which in most cases includes unreadable sectors - the dd command has no means to skip these sectors" | 02:03 |
| realubot | shazbotmcnasty: Maybe there is a copy protection anyway. | 02:03 |
| krey | MaRk-I: yes, black screen with strange white pixels at the top | 02:04 |
| Savory_Snax_ | MaRk-I, I don't see that option specfically in Power Managment | 02:05 |
| MaRk-I | krey: try this http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/05/06/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup-workaround/ | 02:05 |
| MaRk-I | Savory_Snax_: system/preferences/power management? | 02:05 |

| krey | MaRk-I: tried xforcevesa and nomodeset already | 02:06 |
| realubot | shazbotmcnasty: "conv=noerror,sync - do not fail on errors and write zeros to | 02:06 |
| realubot | destination sectors with cannot be read | 02:06 |
| krey | MaRk-I: no success | 02:06 |
| shazbotmcnasty | realubot: why as a text | 02:06 |
| MaRk-I | nomodeset is for nvidia | 02:07 |
| krey | that is what I have | 02:07 |
| realubot | shazbotmcnasty: That solution wouldn't be a good solution though if data will be missing. | 02:07 |
| Savory_Snax_ | MaRk-I, the option to disable hibernation while streaming isn't in the Power Management gui. I was wondering if there was a command line for it | 02:07 |
| MaRk-I | Savory_Snax_: ah no idea | 02:07 |
| realubot | shazbotmcnasty: What do you mean by "why as a text"? | 02:07 |

| shazbotmcnasty | oh poo | 02:09 |
| shazbotmcnasty | I'll rip it as an avi first | 02:09 |
| shazbotmcnasty | then see if it plays | 02:09 |

| Jordan_U | shazbotmcnasty: If you're getting IO errors use gnu_ddrescue instead (note that there is a non-gnu program of the same name, that is not what you want) | 02:15 |
| cameron242_ | Jordan_U: I'm back | 02:16 |
| Jordan_U | cameron242_: Did you run those commands? | 02:16 |
| cameron242_ | Yeah | 02:16 |
| cameron242_ | I have some questions: | 02:16 |
| cameron242_ | The first one | 02:16 |
| cameron242_ | is that the first code asked for a pass which I put in | 02:16 |
| cameron242_ | the second didn't | 02:16 |
| Othor | syntaxman, /etc/dbus-1/system.d/wpa_supplicant.conf | 02:16 |
| cameron242_ | did I do something wrong? | 02:17 |
| wreckcreations | Quick question: What would prevent me from changing the other's permissions on a folder that I own? | 02:17 |
| Loshki | shazbotmcnasty: dd should work but I find you need to specify block size, count and conv=notrunc to get a faithful copy. Also, converting to avi is time consuming, and you will lose quality by going to/from avi format. If you're getting read errors from the disk, it's because it's damaged or needs cleaning. Try using windex on it. | 02:17 |
| Jordan_U | cameron242_: No, sudo remembers your authorization for a few minutes. | 02:17 |
| cameron242_ | ok | 02:17 |
| cameron242_ | good | 02:17 |
| cameron242_ | so what now? | 02:17 |
| === Zeike is now known as brandonj | ||
| IdleOne | cameron242: when you run sudo it asks for your password, the system also remembers it for 15 minutes so any command ran afterwards with sudo won't ask for your pass. you didn't do anything wrong | 02:17 |
| cameron242_ | Was anything supposed to happen? | 02:17 |
| syntaxman | Othor: I looked in there... that's not even /close/ to being a real wpa_supplicant.conf | 02:17 |
| Loshki | cameron242: stop pressing enter so much. Been taking lessons from shazbotmcnasty? | 02:17 |
| cameron242_ | like more text appear? | 02:18 |
| cameron242_ | sorry lol | 02:18 |
| cameron242_ | I am used to that way | 02:18 |
| IdleOne | cameron242: the bot is gonna end up kicking you | 02:18 |
| syntaxman | Othor: it's an XML file rather than what the manpage for wpa_supplicant.conf describes | 02:18 |
| Loshki | cameron242: I know, but it makes it harder for everyone to read because of the extra scrolling... | 02:18 |
| Jordan_U | cameron242_: If the commands worked then you'll now have directories named "b43" and "b43-legacy" in /lib/firmware/. You can check that with "ls /lib/firmware/" | 02:18 |
| cameron242_ | Okay | 02:18 |
| cameron242_ | Can I get a full list of instructions? | 02:19 |
| Jordan_U | cameron242_: If those directories exist then just reboot and hopefully you'll have wireless. | 02:19 |
| Othor | syntaxman, yeah mine looks like XML too | 02:19 |
| shazbotmcnasty | Loshki: what would you suggest for block size, count, etc | 02:19 |
| shazbotmcnasty | what do I put? :3 | 02:19 |
| cameron242_ | Ok, lemme reboot then | 02:19 |
| wreckcreations | BTW that problem occured when running PCManFM as root as well. The folder is shared by samba if it means anything | 02:19 |
| cameron242_ | I am on my laptop now, it could be 10-15 mins | 02:19 |
| trism | syntaxman: ubuntu uses network-manager by default, so there won't be a wpa_supplicant.conf, unless you disable network-manager and use /etc/network/interfaces, then you can create one with wpa_passphrase | 02:19 |
| cameron242_ | brb then | 02:19 |
| Loshki | shazbotmcnasty: please stop typing enter so much. Let me look at my script and see how it does it... | 02:20 |
| syntaxman | trism: OK.. I don't see where nm keeps net specific settings either. | 02:21 |
| syntaxman | trism: I'll hunt some more | 02:21 |
| trism | syntaxman: run nm-connection-editor | 02:21 |
| Loshki | shazbotmcnasty: first, I type: isoinfo -d -i /dev/sr0 | 02:21 |
| trism | syntaxman: system connections are kept in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ | 02:22 |
| trism | syntaxman: but you don't generally need to edit those | 02:22 |
| syntaxman | Nice to know it exists, though. | 02:23 |
| trism | syntaxman: without nm-connection-editor I mean | 02:23 |
| Loshki | shazbotmcnasty: see the logical block size (almost always 2048) and the volume size (for my dvd, it's 3287649). Then do dd if=/dev/sr0 bs=2048 count=3287649 conv=notrunc > /disk/dvd.iso | 02:24 |
| syntaxman | trism: It's empty. That's weird. | 02:24 |
| shazbotmcnasty | oh okay | 02:24 |
| cameron242_ | W00T! | 02:24 |
| cameron242_ | it worked! | 02:24 |
| shazbotmcnasty | does the number 3287649 come from anything Loshki ? | 02:25 |
| cameron242_ | Jordan_U: Thank you SO much! Can I get a wesbite name to tell my friends? | 02:25 |
| jdolan | anyone else get black areas on your screen when using Thunderbird in the LTS? | 02:25 |
| jdolan | ATI fglx driver. | 02:25 |
| jdolan | i *think* the black areas go away if i turn on compiz, but that breaks OpenGL across the whole system so... | 02:26 |
| trism | syntaxman: it only creates system connections if you run nm-connection-editor with gksudo or check the "Available to all users" box in the config, I don't know where the per-user connections are kept | 02:26 |
| Loshki | shazbotmcnasty: yes, it comes from the isoinfo -d -i /dev/sr0 command. It's the size of your dvd in blocks. It's different for every dvd | 02:26 |
| cameron242_ | Okay | 02:27 |
| cameron242_ | now one more questiong | 02:27 |
| shazbotmcnasty | oh okay | 02:27 |

| Loshki | shazbotmcnasty: it may be damaged, or scratched, or something. Some readers do better than others when performing error correction. Do you have a different drive you can try it with? | 02:29 |

| * Maletor can't wait for gnome-shell | 02:32 | |
| Dmstrdj | it has windows installed and i have been trying to dual boot it | 02:32 |
| Loshki | Dmstrdj: have you checked the dvd to see if the image is uncorrupted? | 02:33 |
| cameron242_ | to get ect\apt\sources.list | 02:33 |
| IdleOne | cameron242_: in a terminal type gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 02:33 |
| maco | cameron242_: forward slashes | 02:33 |
| Dmstrdj | but it wont finish loading, and i have tried several operating systems | 02:33 |
| realubot | ddilinger: Dropbox? | 02:33 |
| Dmstrdj | and the discs boot fine on anything else | 02:33 |
| ddilinger | realubot: will that sync between firefox and chrome though? i thought dropbox was just raw file storage | 02:33 |
| IdleOne | cameron242_: then open paste.ubuntu.com and copy paste the contents of the file to the pastebin and give us the URL | 02:33 |
| vmer | maco: how so? | 02:34 |
| Dmstrdj | the bt4 i just installed on usb, is running great on my netbook right now live | 02:34 |

| maco | vmer: there's a gui to get everything setup just like with vmware. kvm you have to use qemu on the command line and i find it a bit confusing | 02:34 |
| hiexpo | !backtack | 02:34 |
| Dmstrdj | got to the loading screen in bt4 on the tower and it froze | 02:34 |
| hiexpo | !backtrack | 02:35 |
| ubottu | There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) | 02:35 |
| orangey | hello all. | 02:35 |
| realubot | ddilinger: I meant sometinng like this: http://myubuntublog.wordpress.com/2010/05/19/sync-firefox-bookmarks-to-dropbox/ | 02:35 |
| vmer | maco: i believe there is a UI for KVM too. virt-manager, or something like that | 02:35 |
| Loshki | Dmstrdj: when you say 'several operating systems', do you mean different versions of linux, 'cos they all use the same kernel, more or less... | 02:35 |
| orangey | is it possible to make a device that captures all my outputted stuff? | 02:35 |
| orangey | I want to record all output | 02:35 |
| orangey | but from command line | 02:35 |
| maco | vmer: its not that easy to use, and i think its for configuring existing vm's...but its been a year since i last used it | 02:35 |
| vmer | orangey: tee? | 02:36 |
| ddilinger | realubot: ahh, yea unfortunatly wont work for me:( need to sync between linux, windows, chrome, and firefox | 02:36 |
| DarkX | hi | 02:36 |
| orangey | vmer: eh? | 02:36 |
| Dmstrdj | well im not sure but i have been a disc jockey for a lil bit, and bt4 is based on ubuntu 8.10 | 02:36 |
| cameron242_ | IdleOne: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/85BFUp2k | 02:36 |
| vmer | orangey: maybe i misunderstood. tee lets you run something that goes to stdout and a file | 02:37 |
| orangey | vmer: Indeed we may not be on the same page. | 02:37 |
| IdleOne | cameron242_: ok your sources.list looks fine. | 02:37 |
| DarkX | would anyone mind helping me with a wireless networking problem i'm having? | 02:37 |
| Loshki | Dmstrdj: well, if you're not fed up with trying, I would try 8.04, as it's very stable & mature and runs most anywhere... | 02:37 |
| Dmstrdj | the tower was running bt for the longest time and i just dont understand whats holding it up now | 02:37 |
| Dmstrdj | i have tried every thing i can find | 02:37 |
| orangey | vmer: so, I have my happy pulseaudio life. I want to capture the aggregate output and send it to an alsa or pulse or whatever device | 02:37 |
| orangey | so that a command line program can access it | 02:37 |
| orangey | just like now I can access my microphone and line-in | 02:38 |
| bastidrazor | Dmstrdj: maybe you should be asking about backtrack in #backtrack-linux | 02:38 |
| vmer | anybody play with eucalyptus? | 02:38 |
| IdleOne | cameron242_: it is important to remember that Linux is case sensitive. Anyway open Synaptic Package manager from System > Administration menu | 02:38 |
| Dmstrdj | wanted to use the new ubuntu, but i tried 9.10, and 10.4 now and nothing works | 02:38 |
| Dmstrdj | will never boot | 02:38 |
| realubot | ddilinger: Yes, I saw that. You probably will find another solution to sync between Chromium and Firefox. | 02:38 |
| realubot | *will have to find | 02:38 |
| hiexpo | Dmstrdj, yes backtrack is based on ubuntu but ubuntu does not supply support for it / backtrack has it'sown support channel #backtrack-linux | 02:39 |
| IdleOne | cameron242_: in the search box type gimp and see what it says | 02:39 |
| Dmstrdj | yes i know im there too | 02:39 |
| ugliefrog | Ocaasionaly through out the day with out warning the cursor starts flashing very fast as if a key is stuck...sometimes I can wait it out but most of the time I have to unplug the keyboard for it to work...Only happens in ubuntu...w7 no problems | 02:39 |
| IdleOne | Dmstrdj: ok, good now be patient in there and wait for an answer | 02:39 |
| cameron242_ | IdleOne: What file am I looking for? | 02:40 |
| Dmstrdj | But everything i asked did not have to do with backtrack | 02:40 |
| IdleOne | cameron242_: in Synaptic? search for gimp | 02:40 |
| cameron242_ | IdleOne: Opened | 02:40 |
| Dmstrdj | i was looking for answers not smart alecs | 02:41 |
| cameron242_ | I did, there's a bunch of wierd file names | 02:41 |
| IdleOne | Dmstrdj: sounds like hardware issue | 02:41 |
| Dmstrdj | i have changed evetything but the mobo | 02:41 |
| hiexpo | Dmstrdj, i am in there and i do not see your ? | 02:41 |
| IdleOne | cameron242_: such as? | 02:41 |
| IdleOne | cameron242_: look for the one named GIMP | 02:41 |

| cameron242_ | There is none | 02:42 |
| Dmstrdj | i c u | 02:42 |
| Docteh_ | Dmstrdj: does this computer boot anything? | 02:42 |
| Dmstrdj | boots windows only | 02:42 |
| shazbotmcnasty | Jordan_U: how do I use this gnu ddrescue? | 02:42 |
| Docteh_ | cameron242_: try gimp vs GIMP if you're apt-get install-ing stuffs | 02:42 |
| shazbotmcnasty | I installed it | 02:42 |
| shazbotmcnasty | read the man | 02:42 |
| shazbotmcnasty | but still don't get | 02:42 |
| FloodBot2 | shazbotmcnasty: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:42 |
| Dmstrdj | been trying to boot ubuntu on it for couple months | 02:42 |
| DarkX | anyone here use ubuntu wirelessly? | 02:42 |
| shazbotmcnasty | oh yeah, use enter less | 02:42 |
| cameron242_ | I did | 02:42 |
| DarkX | did you have network problems? | 02:42 |
| IdleOne | Docteh_: problem is that cameron242_ is getting package not found. this is his sources.list http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/85BFUp2k | 02:43 |
| realubot | cameron242_: What happends when you execute this: sudo apt-get install gimp | 02:44 |
| Milk | i can anyone help me with a boot up problem. my girlfriend accidentally removed power from the computer and now everytime i boot up i get ubuntu is running in low grapics mode and i cant continue | 02:45 |

| tre | Need help - why is it so hard to share file with windows? | 02:45 |
| cameron242_ | O.o | 02:46 |
| realubot | cameron242_: Stay cool. :) | 02:46 |
| IdleOne | cameron242_: why are you freaked out? | 02:46 |
| cameron242_ | It just worked | 02:46 |
| IdleOne | hehe ok good | 02:46 |
| realubot | tre: You have to use Samba I think. | 02:46 |
| cameron242_ | Because it just worked | 02:46 |
| Fishscene1 | tre: What's the problem? | 02:46 |
| tre | how do I access a windows sharea | 02:46 |
| IdleOne | cameron242_: glad to hear it | 02:46 |
| cameron242_ | I did it again | 02:46 |
| cameron242_ | sudo apt-get install gimp | 02:46 |
| cameron242_ | Thanks | 02:46 |

| IdleOne | cameron242_: welcome | 02:47 |
| cameron242_ | I might have more questions later | 02:47 |
| cameron242_ | :D | 02:47 |
| Fishscene1 | You should be able to access it in the connect to server box. Put the name or IP address of the Windows box, then put in the name of the fileshare. You can leave the "folder" field blank | 02:47 |
| Dmstrdj | upgraded my tower and trying to use the mobo i had in another, but it will not boot any linux, ubuntu i have tried for a long time, so i tried other things and different versions of ubuntu, and it will never finish loading | 02:47 |
| shazbotmcnasty | Jordan_U: oh no, it's not working | 02:47 |
| shazbotmcnasty | time since last successful read - 1.5m | 02:48 |
| hiexpo | cameron242 everyone here is more than happy to help u here | 02:48 |
| Dmstrdj | always hangs at boot up, if i used an older version of ubuntu would that help | 02:48 |
| realubot | cameron242_: If you fel that Gimp is to complicated then you want to try Pinta. It's like a Paint.NET clone in Ubuntu. | 02:48 |
| Dmstrdj | instead of the new versions | 02:49 |
| tre | I can see my windows shares - but cant open them | 02:49 |
| cameron242_ | I have used GIMP on Windows before | 02:49 |
| realubot | tre: Do you see the files from Windows? | 02:50 |
| realubot | tre: Then it may be due to permission settings maybe. | 02:50 |
| tre | for now I am just trying to see windows from linux | 02:50 |
| cameron242_ | I need to go | 02:50 |
| cameron242_ | Thanks for all the help everyone! :D | 02:50 |
| tre | I figure thats easier | 02:50 |
| realubot | cameron242_: No problem. | 02:50 |
| tre | I can see the machines but cannot browse the files | 02:50 |
| thinkling | hi. I have a disk partitioned by a NAS device and am trying to access it under Ubuntu 10.04. The fs is ext3+extents, and when I try mount -t ext3 -o extents, Ubuntu says "unrecognized mount option extents". any tips on what to try next? | 02:50 |
| realubot | tre: Are you having file on both Ubuntu and Windows that you try to share in each direction? | 02:52 |
| Fishscene1 | Tre, do you have permission to open the files under the username you're using to log into the windows machine? | 02:53 |
| tre | well - yes both machines have the same username | 02:54 |
| === horndog_ is now known as horndog | ||
| Fishscene1 | If I recall correctly, you can't browse shares. You can only connect directly to a share. | 02:54 |
| tre | ok how do I do that | 02:54 |
| Fishscene1 | You must first know the name of the share you're trying to connect to | 02:54 |
| realubot | tre: I don't really understand the problem. The only advice I can give you is to checkthis video and be sure yiou have done all this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89hjWOb8qmY | 02:54 |
| Fishscene1 | When you connect to the Windows box, you put the IP address or name of the windows box. You should also see a field called "Share" put in the name of the Windows share. Case-sensitive. | 02:55 |
| tre | when I connect where - file manager? | 02:56 |

| seidos | MaRk-I, doesn't work. I also tried force-reload | 03:02 |

| seidos | MaRk-I, and I also tried dhclient, something is happening with my wireless, and only my wireless after hibernating and/or suspending | 03:02 |
| DarkX | and i'm connected to it right now using my other partition | 03:02 |

| xev | DarkStar1, I want to gain freespace. I got 3gb only | 03:05 |

| Compiling | yes | 03:05 |
| Compiling | avi_ id recommend setting up dyndns | 03:06 |

| hypo | Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone is using multiple monitors (ATI)? I'm having some problems setting mine up the way I want | 03:24 |
| unclemantis | i have spent 2 days trying to get a FTPSD running with no luck. I am then told to connect via SSH using SFTP so I did that and it worked! Now 5 hours later I try again and it won't connect. I then try to SSH into the account and I get the welcome to Ubuntu and the document url and stuff and then this "Connection to gigdates.com closed." WTF happened!? | 03:25 |
| idk | Compiling: i've seen homepages with structured source viewing, it was somehow easy to upload, maintain and publish =) | 03:25 |
| Compiling | idk: git? | 03:25 |
| unclemantis | i am a programer, not an admin so this really pisses me off :( | 03:26 |
| idk | Compiling: thanks! =) got any more tip on useful apps for my vps? | 03:27 |
| unclemantis | I AM able to log in using root | 03:27 |
| orangey | hello all! | 03:27 |
| unclemantis | i do not have any other users, just one other | 03:27 |
| avi_ | Compiling: You get my PMs? | 03:27 |
| orangey | anybody know how to assign a pulseaudio "stream" to an alsa device? | 03:27 |
| orangey | i.e., alsa_output.pci-0000_00_14.2.analog-stereo.monitor | 03:27 |
| orangey | that records if I do: parec -d alsa_output.pci-0000_00_14.2.analog-stereo.monitor | 03:28 |
| Compiling | idk: shell access for me? :) | 03:28 |
| idk | Compiling: hihihi :D | 03:28 |
| idk | Compiling: could you recommend a ftp server, maybe optimized for vps? | 03:29 |
| unclemantis | ok. so no instant answer :( | 03:29 |
| unclemantis | i am reading to check hosts.deny and that is empty | 03:30 |
| unclemantis | and NOTHING has changed since the last time i tried this and it worked until now | 03:31 |
| racerd | anyone know of an android irc? | 03:32 |
| johngilbrough | I've recently installed Lucid from scratch. In the last couple of days, my system time is way off. I've set things up via the Time and Date tool to synchronize with a time server. But things are still off (by 7 hours) even after a restart. Any suggestions? | 03:32 |

| X32 | 10.04 server ( just upgraded and NFS4 with extremely slow network connection, followed guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NFSv4Howto#Installation but only getting 3mbit on 100mbit connection and I used to get near the max of 11.0mbit on 9.10 server nfs3. Any ideas? | 03:32 |
| DarkStar1 | unclemantis: sorry I just got back. What seems to be the problem? | 03:33 |
| unclemantis | could you scroll up? I do not wish to repost. Thanks for acknoledging :) | 03:33 |
| judgen | Well | 03:34 |
| Compiling | idk: I like pure-ftpd | 03:34 |
| Compiling | idk: I built an entire CGI frontend for it on the job actually | 03:34 |
| Compiling | idk: its all command based | 03:34 |
| idk | Compiling: could i get a url or something? =) | 03:35 |
| Compiling | i think its http://pureftpd.org | 03:35 |
| Compiling | should be in repo though, no? | 03:35 |
| subone | How do I specify more than one path to search for files using the find command? | 03:35 |
| judgen | M>>N | 03:35 |
| Compiling | the best part is it supports quotas with virtual users | 03:35 |
| Compiling | very secure | 03:35 |
| Compiling | much better than the common vsftpd in my opinion | 03:35 |
| airtonix | subone, loop it using the "for" statement | 03:36 |
| subone | thats the only way huh | 03:36 |
| DarkStar1 | unclemantis: tbh I'm not 10% SSH identified let alone 100% but I can try to diagnose the problem for you. | 03:36 |
| judgen | i want to talk to you, is is use key words like epson and printre--- | 03:36 |
| unclemantis | do you wish access to the box? I could really care less. I have no data and I can simply just rebuild | 03:37 |
| DarkStar1 | unclemantis: You say nothing has changed and you can only log in as root? | 03:37 |
| unclemantis | Correct DarkStar1 and please do not repermand me about not logging in as another su :) i will get to that | 03:37 |
| DarkStar1 | unclemantis: Also as a foreward you might actually get better help from the #networking channel | 03:38 |
| unclemantis | Well I figured I was using Ubuntu and this channel usualy helps with ANYTHING in Ubuntu, I thought I would give it a shot | 03:38 |
| DarkStar1 | unclemantis: the best security you practice is up to you. We can't all act the same way :) | 03:38 |
| Compiling | subone: find /path1 /path2 -name filename ??? | 03:38 |
| Compiling | no for loop necessary | 03:39 |

| Compiling | no problem | 03:46 |
| thj | ？？？ | 03:46 |

| Nighthwk | Can anyone tell me how to bind a usb harddrive to a directory? | 03:50 |

| Compiling | depends on the device name its given | 03:51 |
| programmeboy | mount | 03:51 |
| Nighthwk | Compiling: it shows up in my /media directory | 03:51 |
| Compiling | it should | 03:51 |
| Compiling | thats what i said | 03:51 |
| Compiling | oh whoops, wp | 03:51 |
| Compiling | if its in media you can run umount | 03:51 |
| Compiling | or right click it and hit unmount | 03:52 |
| Compiling | then remount it to a different mountpoint | 03:52 |
| Mogga | i'm playing around with kvm for a few vms on my server... i've got the first one going, an ldap server, next i was going to do the file server... should i export the file system from the host or create a block level vm and export within? | 03:52 |
| Mogga | using karmic | 03:52 |
| Thalone | Hello everyone! I just installed ubuntu for the first time and have a small problem -- none of my NTFS partitions are showing up and when i launch disk utility it gives me the loading cursor and then eventually it just closes | 03:52 |
| Nighthwk | Compiling: I can't bind it to anther location | 03:53 |
| Compiling | Nighthwk what did you try | 03:53 |
| programmeboy | Nighthwk: sudo | 03:53 |
| Mogga | can anyone offer some advice? | 03:54 |
| DarkStar1 | Compiling: The last field in the /etc/passwd file specifies the user shall right? | 03:54 |
| Compiling | yep | 03:54 |
| Compiling | shell | 03:54 |
| Thalone | Any help would be much appreciated... I used "fdisk -l" and you can see the NTFS partitions, but when I try mount - it doesnt see it | 03:54 |
| Compiling | DarkStar1: if you want to see the layout of the file, use man 5 passwd | 03:55 |
| mobodo | since I installed 10.04, vlc runs at a low framerate (~20fps) even though it's only using 2-3% of the CPU, anybody has an idea what I could be looking at? | 03:55 |
| Compiling | video drivers | 03:55 |
| Thalone | drivers would be my guess | 03:55 |
| mobodo | I think it has to do with the detected refresh rate of my monitor | 03:55 |
| mobodo | ok I'll see if I can install other drivers, thanks | 03:56 |
| Nighthwk | Compiling: I'm trying to bind one directory from my usb drive to a directory, not the whole hd | 03:56 |
| Thalone | so anyone have any ideas for my problem? or anything they can refer me to -- google hasnt worked up to this point | 03:56 |
| Nighthwk | Compiling: On my other computer i could put the bind command in the /etc/rc.local file | 03:57 |
| Compiling | Nighthwk: mount --bind | 03:57 |
| thune3 | Thalone: i'm not an expert. are you mounting automatically using gnome, using fstab, or manual mount command? | 03:58 |
| Compiling | Nighthwk: you may also be interested in a symbolic link | 03:59 |
| mdel_ | im having some ssh troubles at the moment | 03:59 |
| Compiling | see man ln | 03:59 |
| Compiling | look at the -s switch | 03:59 |

| mdel_ | trying to connect from my mac to my ubuntu box at work, i get stuck at "expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP" | 03:59 |

| Compiling | that enables verbose mode | 04:00 |
| Thalone | the NTFS partitions arent being mounted - mount doesnt see them | 04:00 |
| mdel_ | Compiling: thats how i saw the error... | 04:00 |
| mdel_ | well, not the error | 04:00 |
| DarkStar1 | compiling thanks for your help | 04:00 |
| Compiling | mdel_ what version of openssh | 04:00 |

| dsnyders | Hi all! Is there a util that detects duplicate files? | 04:00 |
| Compiling | any time | 04:00 |

| mdel_ | on the mac, 5.2p1 | 04:01 |
| Thalone | i tried using mount from commandline | 04:01 |
| mdel_ | Compiling: whatever the latest is in 10.04 at work | 04:01 |

| mdel_ | Compiling: any other ideas | 04:02 |
| Nighthwk | Compiling: Ok, thanks for all the help | 04:02 |
| Compiling | mdel_ ubuntu uses 5.4.x or 5.5 i believe | 04:02 |
| Compiling | try updating | 04:02 |
| dsnyders | minderaser, assign each an ip address, eg 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 | 04:02 |
| thune3 | Thalone: so after mounting, "mount" shows the mount but you cant access? | 04:02 |
| Compiling | also check /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow | 04:02 |
| mdel_ | Compiling: here's the thing - it worked yesterday | 04:02 |
| mdel_ | Compiling: ive connected to the box a million times from this machine | 04:03 |
| mdel_ | just all of a sudden, im hanging at expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP | 04:03 |
| Compiling | well what changed between today and yesterday? | 04:03 |
| Compiling | did you run updates on either machine? | 04:03 |
| Thalone | thune3: no i cant mount the 2 NTFS partitions at all... they are in /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 (i know because i see them using "fdisk -l" but I cannot mount them using mount | 04:04 |
| mdel_ | Compiling: i updated ubuntu, but there weren't any updates to anything ssh/net related | 04:05 |
| Loshki | Maletor: I thought msmtp was a drop-in replacement for sendmail i.e. you should pretend you're still using sendmail. What does ls -l /usr/bin/sendmail point to? | 04:05 |
| mdel_ | also, i only get this sporadically | 04:05 |
| Thalone | thune3: i got them to show up! apparently in lucid it doesnt automatically install ntfs-3g after setup | 04:05 |
| mdel_ | i can connect, use it for 5 minutes, then it lags out | 04:05 |
| mdel_ | i try to reconnect, i get that message' | 04:05 |
| Compiling | mdel_ can you pastebin the output of ifconfig | grep -i mtu | 04:05 |
| mdel_ | this is over VPN, the VPN mtu is 1444 | 04:06 |
| Loshki | mdel_: 'lags out'? What exactly does that mean? | 04:06 |
| Compiling | mdel_ try setting both MTUs to 576 | 04:06 |
| mdel_ | Loshki: gets slow to respond, keystrokes are behind | 04:06 |

| Compiling | its not really a thread | 04:07 |
| Compiling | http://www.snailbook.com/faq/mtu-mismatch.auto.html | 04:07 |
| mdel_ | Compiling: well how can i set the mtu on the office machine... | 04:07 |
| Compiling | you said its more or less sporadic | 04:08 |
| Compiling | wait till it works again | 04:08 |
| Compiling | do you have an IP KVM? | 04:08 |
| thune3 | Thalone: that's weird, ntfs-3g is part of package ubuntu-standard which i thought you would have had installed. Glad you got it. | 04:08 |
| Maletor | Loshki: /usr/sbin/sendmail points to exim4 | 04:08 |
| Loshki | mdel_: could be network constipation I suppose, but you'd expect that not to fail consistently at SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP... | 04:08 |
| sneakers | What is the best option for a live distro that already includes all the non-free stuff to play music, videos, commerical DVDs, flash player, etc? | 04:08 |
| Loshki | Maletor: so you're running exim4 as well as msmtp? | 04:09 |
| mdel_ | Loshki: i agree | 04:09 |
| Mogga | Compiling: sorry IP? i'm using kvm to host multiple vms on a server... have a question about file server setup concepts | 04:09 |
| Maletor | Loshki: I'm following this guide. http://klenwell.com/is/UbuntuCommandLineGmail | 04:09 |
| Maletor | Loshki: And it's not working | 04:09 |
| Thalone | thune3: i thought so too, curiously it wasnt though... thanks for the help though =) | 04:09 |
| Mogga | Compiling: you're thinking about display/keyboard kvms my guess | 04:09 |
| Mogga | not libvirt et al | 04:10 |
| Compiling | i was directing that at mdel, sorry mogga | 04:10 |
| Mogga | np | 04:10 |
| mdel_ | Compiling: IP KVM??? | 04:10 |
| Compiling | sneakers: try superOS | 04:10 |
| mdel_ | though you were talking to Mogga | 04:10 |
| Compiling | its more or less ubuntu with all the goodies | 04:10 |
| Compiling | mdel_ they are more or less standard when you manage servers in the corporate world | 04:11 |
| Compiling | its like a kvm | 04:11 |
| Compiling | but u can use it over the internet | 04:11 |
| sneakers | Compiling, Linkie? | 04:11 |
| mdel_ | are you talking like VNC? | 04:11 |

| Loshki | Maletor: I use ssmtp with gmail instead, and it does work. http://www.nixtutor.com/linux/send-mail-with-gmail-and-ssmtp/ | 04:12 |
| Compiling | sneakers: see also http://www.browserlinux.com/ and http://www.linuxmint.com/index.php | 04:12 |
| Compiling | i think mint comes with all that | 04:12 |
| Compiling | Linux Mint Live DVD: Contains additional software such as Java, VLC, F-Spot, OpenOffice.org-base, Samba, additional wallpapers and ttf-dejaVu fonts | 04:13 |
| Compiling | flash as well i believe | 04:13 |
| Loshki | mdel_: if the load on the office machine is unreasonably high, I would expect lag, and delay around the SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP since that's where all the heavy math starts to execute... | 04:13 |
| sneakers | Compiling, Yea but can it play .wmv does it have browser flash, etc? | 04:14 |
| Maletor | Loshki: well I can send an email with msmtp | 04:14 |
| mdel_ | Loshki: it's just my workstation, there is no load | 04:14 |
| * DarkStar1 bids everyone a goodnight/morning | 04:14 | |
| Compiling | sneakers, mint should have all that | 04:14 |

| Loshki | Maletor: mailx is just a front end, it should work with any sendmail compatible backend, including exim4 and/or msmtp/ssmtp or even sendmail. Is there anything interesting in the mail logs /var/log/mail.* | 04:16 |
| foo | Compiling: any idea what that means? I can do that, this is just a brand new refurb I got... and I wiped the old drive. | 04:17 |
| Loshki | mdel_: I can't explain it. Can you ssh into your workstation while it's bogged down and see what's going on that way? | 04:17 |
| mdel_ | i cant get in at all now | 04:17 |
| Compiling | sounds like a simple offset error | 04:17 |

| mdel_ | i guess i could | 04:18 |
| mdel_ | but i had some important shit to do tonight that I didn't commit to the repo | 04:19 |
| mdel_ | so i kinda need to figure something out now | 04:19 |
| Loshki | mdel_: for all you know, someone is running a huge torrent at work, after hours, and clogging the net... | 04:19 |
| mdel_ | nah thats not it | 04:19 |

| ennui | Bah! I am trying to get write permission on a hfs+ partition. I disabled journaling but I still get read only..... | 04:20 |
| mdel_ | Loshki: the lag isn't the bad part, its the fact that I can't connect | 04:20 |
| Compiling | mdel_ how long does the error take to pop up | 04:20 |
| Compiling | if its instant it probably isnt la | 04:20 |
| Compiling | lag | 04:20 |
| mdel_ | there isn't an error, it just gets stuck | 04:20 |
| Compiling | the machine is actively refusing it | 04:20 |
| Compiling | when you try to connect back in? | 04:20 |
| Loshki | mdel_: do you know if it's just your workstation? Can you reach anyone else's desktop? | 04:21 |
| mdel_ | the lag occurred when i COULD conect | 04:21 |

| tertl3 | cilly, it's in there, i promise | 04:25 |
| Maletor | Loshki: so nothing you can think of? | 04:26 |
| Maletor | Loshki: it's as if msmtp is being run without the parameters that mailx is setting | 04:26 |

| Maletor | Loshki: yes it does but it doesn't log anything | 04:28 |

| Maletor | Loshki: but i can't figure what he means http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=780509&page=2 | 04:29 |
| cilly | I realize that. But I found an old powermac G3 on the side of the road. It has a rage128 video card. The new releases of ubuntu dont have the driver for this card | 04:30 |
| cilly | that is why I am using 6.10 | 04:30 |
| bobthemilkman | cilly: Uh, you could always download the sources from nvidia. | 04:30 |
| cilly | it is an ATI card. | 04:31 |
| Maletor | Loshki: ok ya that solved it. i just needed a different package of mailx. god that was confusing | 04:31 |
| cilly | and 10.04 does not have and xorg.conf to change the settings | 04:31 |
| Loshki | Maletor: it's pretty appalling that there are two versions of mailx in different packages, and one works and the other doesn't... | 04:31 |
| MaRk-I | cilly: you can use the "ati" drivers, no desktop effects tho | 04:31 |
| Loshki | Maletor: that explains why I've never had a problem with ssmtp.... | 04:32 |

| ennui | does anyone know how to get write permission on a hfs+ partition in linux? I went into OSX and disabled journaling on the partition in question as I had read in forum posts that this would allow me to write but upon booting into linux and mounting the drive I found this to be untrue. I have also tried chown which won't work. and using mount with -t hfsplus -o rw didn't work either... :*( | 04:33 |
| Vin73 | hello? | 04:33 |
| bobthemilkman | Vin73: I'd suggest against using Adobe Acrobat Reader unless you *really* need it. | 04:33 |

| ryanprior | Hey there. I can't get DAAP sharing to work between my Rhythmbox and my roommate's, who is on the same LAN and also using Ubuntu. How do I make this work? | 04:33 |
| bobthemilkman | evince is superior, and should work fine for most applications. | 04:33 |
| bobthemilkman | However, if you are *SURE* that you want to use Acrobat, here are the directions: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/06/23/install-adobe-acrobat-reader-812-on-ubuntu-804/ | 04:34 |
| MaRk-I | !sensors | Zelozelos | 04:34 |
| 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. | 04:34 |
| Vin73 | bonthemilkman: thanks... | 04:34 |
| trism | Vin73: if you want it, it is in the partner repo, acroread package | 04:34 |
| trism | !partner | Vin73 | 04:34 |
| ubottu | Vin73: 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" » | 04:34 |

| hellrabbit | Honestly I am not sure as to the spesifics on S2 and S3, I'm not around any production class machines right now... typically on Dell servers and HP those options tend to be the second to last tab in bios. I think it has to do with the type of backup power supply your using. | 05:09 |

| MaRk-I | KnifeySpooney: cursor theme or GDM theme? | 05:17 |
| xangua | lolzor: i do not, it's in lucid's default repository | 05:17 |
| ITSa341 | Any advice on using a Marvell Topdog a,b,g,n on Lucid 64 bit | 05:17 |
| KnifeySpooney | MaRk-I, cursor theme of GDM, but I think i found it now | 05:17 |
| lolzor | xangua yes but what's the lucid new repositorie in order to add it to my source.list | 05:18 |
| stewart_ | ubunutu newb here. I have an old version of me tv installed but cannot figure out how to upgrade to the newest | 05:18 |
| MaRk-I | KnifeySpooney: ok | 05:18 |
| KnifeySpooney | MaRk-I, nevermind that wasn't it, do you have any tips? the information in /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme is correct but not being used | 05:18 |
| racerd | is there anyway to manipulate files that have root permissions? | 05:18 |
| xangua | lolzor: you can not use repositories of one version into another | 05:18 |
| MaRk-I | KnifeySpooney: no idea, gdm theme is one thing , cursors are another | 05:19 |
| KnifeySpooney | MaRk-I, well I have the custom theme installed as default for all users, but when logging out it gets reset to DMZ-White | 05:19 |
| BranC | Quick question: Can I use aptitude on a cli ubuntu install to install packages from a cd? The box has no internet connection. | 05:20 |
| MaRk-I | gdm theme is in System/administration/login window, and cursor are in system/preferences/appearance/customize button/ cursors | 05:20 |

| stewart_ | sorry not sure if the command given was for me? | 05:24 |
| jjast73 | yeah, sorry | 05:24 |
| jjast73 | I'm being lazy, I just google'd " how to add a PPA ubuntu" | 05:25 |
| xangua | jjast73: not really good idea use the daily build | 05:25 |
| xangua | jjast73: this looks better https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/stable ppa:chromium-daily/stable | 05:26 |
| stewart_ | xangua: I found https://launchpad.net/~me-tv-development/+archive/ppa but have no clue. I think I need to buy a book lol | 05:28 |
| xangua | stewart_: like jjast73 said: sudo add-apt-repository "ppa's name" | 05:28 |
| upgrdman | thune3, it wasnt a shutdown. the pc turns off, as if it lost power. i could turn it back on, and it would work off of the battery power from the ups | 05:28 |
| upgrdman | thune3, and i do not have any ups software installed except for gnome's monitor | 05:29 |
| lolzor | There should be a way to use a lucid repositorie in order to install crhome in jaunty | 05:29 |
| YTG | hey how can i use a linksys wireless usb card to connect to the internet on ubuntu i found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=972060 but im not mutch of a computer person could someone explain it to me? :P | 05:29 |
| xangua | stewart_: in this case seeing the ppa you found it would be: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:me-tv-development/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 05:30 |
| lolzor | In order to use chrome I'll have to download the chrome package in the lucid repos?, then use apt-get install locally? The orig.tar.tz | 05:30 |
| xangua | lolzor: or just add the stable ppa https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/stable | 05:31 |
| stewart_ | xangua: THANKS! | 05:31 |
| thune3 | upgrdman: oh. i assumed you had some hookup to tell the os to shutdown when the ups battery got low. If the only connection from the UPS is the power to the computer, then is sound like there is enough of a power interruption (or low enough voltage) that your computer turns off. | 05:33 |

| Zelozelos | is there any that when i copy text to keep it on the clip board even if i closed the program i copied it from, as in, if i copied a few words out of a web page and then closed the browser to still be able to paste them somewhere? | 05:35 |
| Fraxtil | I need to be able to view / edit ALL id3 tags in an mp3 file, including nonstandard tags used by iTunes like "Album Artist". What program should I use? | 05:36 |
| racerd | what is the command for creating files? | 05:36 |
| jjast73 | racerd: touch | 05:36 |
| maco | Fraxtil: audio tagtool can do it | 05:36 |
| Fraxtil | racerd: can you be more specific? do you just need a blank file? | 05:36 |
| maco | racerd: touch | 05:36 |
| MaRk-I | Zelozelos: you can install either "klipper" (although is a kde app still works) or glipper for gnome | 05:36 |
| racerd | yes a blank file i can edit | 05:37 |
| Zelozelos | ahh ok i tried to search for one, but didnt know what strings to pull on ;) | 05:37 |
| xangua | Zelozelos: use a clip board manager like parcellite or if you preffer the indicators use pastie (need to add a PPA) | 05:37 |
| racerd | from command line | 05:37 |
| jjast73 | racerd: from a command shell type: touch | 05:37 |
| xangua | MaRk-I Zelozelosglipper sucks :S | 05:37 |
| Zelozelos | xangua, why? | 05:37 |
| jjast73 | racerd: %> touch "filename" | 05:38 |
| racerd | sweet | 05:38 |
| jjast73 | racerd: if using the guild file manager, just right click and choose create document | 05:38 |
| jjast73 | racerd: if using the* | 05:39 |
| racerd | doesn't work for root | 05:39 |
| xangua | Zelozelos: because it's last version was released almost 3 years ago | 05:39 |
| jjast73 | racerd: show me the command u ran | 05:39 |
| racerd | sudo touch 99-android.rules | 05:39 |
| MaRk-I | sebsebseb: ?? | 05:39 |
| Zelozelos | xangua, well age does not = suckiness to me, any specific reasons? | 05:39 |
| jjast73 | racerd: ok what dir are u in? | 05:39 |
| MaRk-I | dont PM me without asking me first thanks | 05:39 |
| Fraxtil | maco: unless I'm not seeing something, audio tag tool doesn't show nonstandard tags- just the usual ones, same as easytag for the most part. | 05:39 |
| racerd | /etc/udev/rules.d/ | 05:40 |
| maco | Fraxtil: there should be a button to view all tags... | 05:40 |
| MaRk-I | sebsebseb: again DONT PM me without asking first, thanks | 05:40 |
| xangua | Zelozelos: well i remember i tried it and after some minutes purged it inmediatly | 05:40 |
| xangua | mmm a long time ago | 05:40 |
| maco | Fraxtil: like it shows the default ones and then theres a button underneath that says the number of nonstandard ones | 05:40 |
| jjast73 | racerd were u prompted for a password when you used sudo? | 05:40 |
| racerd | nah | 05:40 |
| racerd | was using it earlier | 05:40 |
| Fraxtil | maco: I see the "Advanced >" button, but none of my files seem to have any id3v2 tags at all. Maybe I'm missing a library? | 05:41 |
| maco | sebsebseb: you know the rules about PMing | 05:41 |
| racerd | so terminal didn't prompt me again | 05:41 |
| jjast73 | racerd: ok how about "touch /tmp/testing" | 05:41 |
| Zelozelos | xangua, mm ok, what ws the one u suggested and how would i go about gettin it? | 05:41 |
| maco | Fraxtil: posssibly it just uses id3v1 in iTunes? hrmph | 05:41 |
| jjast73 | racerd: then run "sudo touch /tmp/testing2" | 05:41 |
| xangua | Zelozelos: sudo apt-get install parcellite | 05:41 |
| jjast73 | racerd: then check the permissions | 05:41 |
| racerd | then i ran | 05:41 |
| racerd | sudo gedit 99-android.rules | 05:41 |
| xangua | Zelozelos: there is also pastie if you like more the 'indicators' | 05:42 |
| Zelozelos | xangua, kk ill remember that i already installed glipper lemme check it out | 05:42 |
| Fraxtil | maco: I edited all the tags in EasyTag, so they should be using id3v2.4 - it's just that easytag didn't remove the "album artist" field, which messes up my track order in iTunes. | 05:42 |
| jjast73 | racerd: yup you can run gedit, vim, pico "filename" | 05:42 |
| racerd | i just need to create a rules file in a folder that had root permissions | 05:42 |
| racerd | yeah | 05:42 |
| racerd | i know :) | 05:42 |
| racerd | i used to use slackware | 05:42 |
| maco | Fraxtil: i wonder if the album artist one is v1 though... i have removed nonstandard tags using audio tagtool's advanced button | 05:42 |
| jjast73 | racerd, root owns all files. | 05:42 |
| jjast73 | racerd: so how could you not create a file in /etc as root using sudo? | 05:43 |
| racerd | sudo is a root command | 05:43 |
| racerd | ubuntu removed "root" | 05:43 |
| racerd | so it allowed me to make a root command in a root only permissions folder | 05:44 |
| Fraxtil | maco: I see an option to remove all tags, which I guess would do the trick, but I don't want to have to rebuild the tags I want all over again. | 05:44 |
| jjast73 | racerd: sudo is "super user do" it's not root. 2nd. the root account in ubuntu is still there. | 05:44 |
| maco | Fraxtil: can you right click the unwanted one maybe? | 05:44 |
| racerd | it still works | 05:44 |
| racerd | wouldn't in the ui | 05:44 |
| jjast73 | racerd: the ui is different. | 05:44 |
| sebsebseb | maco: Was just looking at some back log, and I noticed how he recommend 8.10 to someone earlier, so told him it wasn't supported anymore. Altough yeah I suppouse I can still reply to something from an hour or so ago in the channel, really. | 05:45 |
| tucemiux | I want to edit a video in kino so I can upload to youtube, which video standard would give me the best resolution to use on a youtube video, NTSC or PAL? | 05:45 |
| racerd | i know | 05:45 |
| jjast73 | racerd: ubuntu really doesn't want ppl using the root account from a shell | 05:45 |
| Fraxtil | maco: I can't see any id3v2 tags (in simple or advanced mode), and the id3v1 tab shows all my wanted tags, but doesn't have an "advanced" option with which I can view the nonstandard tags. | 05:45 |
| jjast73 | racerd: new users is more like it. | 05:45 |
| racerd | well i am trying to get fastboot to work | 05:46 |
| maco | Fraxtil: oh :-/ mmm maybe kid3 ? | 05:46 |
| MaRk-I | sebsebseb: you could've asked first, and he was using 6.10 on an OLD pc, it was a suggestion he could try | 05:47 |
| roky | Can anyone help me with fixing my sound on my laptop? It plays but at such extremely low levels It's barely audible. With everything maxed. Any ideas? | 05:47 |
| sebsebseb | MaRk-I: Sure, but about as good as using 6.10 really, since 8.10 isn't supported anymore either. That was my point. Altough I didn't get to say that in pm, but now I have in here. | 05:49 |
| MaRk-I | sebsebseb: point taken | 05:49 |

| Zelozelos | hmm i dont see the glipper applet, how do i use glipper? | 05:51 |
| racerd | yes!! | 05:51 |
| racerd | got it to work :) | 05:51 |
| racerd | fastboot commands and adb commands work in the terminal directly | 05:51 |
| xangua | Zelozelos: try launching 'glipper' | 05:51 |
| MaRk-I | Zelozelos: right click task bar and "add to panel" select glipper | 05:51 |
| Fraxtil | maco: finally getting somewhere with a bash script I found on the net; combining the output from this with a binary called "id3v2" should solve my problem. | 05:52 |
| maco | Fraxtil: alright. good luck | 05:52 |
| racerd | jjast73 | thanks for pointing me in the right direction | 05:52 |
| Zelozelos | xangua i tried glipper from a terminal, no command found, MaRk-I i trid that too, its not there | 05:52 |

| ImaLamer | insomniac1, then apt-get purge i believe - then you can install again with defaults | 06:19 |
| SwedeMike | fme: then your best bet is to install a system on another drive, put in your old drive, open the encrypted pv/lv and copy all the data you still want to keep. | 06:19 |

| jjast73 | airtonix: are you on wireless? | 06:24 |
| SwedeMike | fme: lvm doesn't do filesystem, it does block devices. | 06:24 |
| airtonix | jjast73, ethernet | 06:24 |
| Zelozelos | Sam_Fisher, i think all u have to do is play them from rythembox, just direct rythmbox to their locations w the import folder option | 06:25 |
| Loshki | fme: what kind of toast? Corrupted files? corrupted fileSYSTEM? lvm layer issues, what? | 06:27 |
| red2kic | fme: Can you access CTRL+ALT+F3 in alternative mode? | 06:27 |
| fme | corrupt filesystem | 06:27 |
| hellosir | jjast73: thanks, ill give it a try | 06:27 |
| fme | red2kic i havent tried, what is that suppsoed to do? | 06:27 |
| red2kic | !tty | fme | 06:27 |
| ubottu | fme: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. | 06:27 |
| Loshki | fme: corrupt filesystem as evidenced by what? fsck? | 06:28 |
| SwedeMike | fme: cryptsetup luksOpen, then you'll be able to find the lv, you can mkfs it then to format the lv. | 06:28 |
| jjast73 | nite all | 06:28 |
| red2kic | fme: If you can access in, I suppose you could luksOpen and then proceed with the alternative installer. | 06:28 |
| fme | hrm | 06:29 |
| fme | ok | 06:29 |
| fme | lemme try this with the alternate installer | 06:29 |
| ubuntu_ | i can mount my harddisk from my computer | 06:29 |
| Loshki | SwedeMike: "lvm and luks madness". I couldn't have put it better myself... | 06:29 |
| ubuntu_ | sorry i cant mount\ | 06:29 |
| Vin73 | hello how do I install nurses development package on lucid? | 06:30 |
| SuNk8 | ubuntu_, what's the problem, any error messages? | 06:30 |
| ubuntu_ | yes | 06:30 |
| SuNk8 | ubuntu_, which | 06:30 |
| ubuntu_ | SuNK8http://pastebin.org/387132 | 06:31 |
| Vin73 | hello? | 06:31 |
| ubuntu_ | SuNk8, iam using ubuntu with out install now | 06:31 |
| SwedeMike | Loshki: I don't agree, I think it's perfectly logical. I've moved a working system from unencrypted multipartition to encrypted lvm, but I kind of cheated and left / unencrypted and only encrypted /usr and /var and /home put those on lvm | 06:31 |
| SuNk8 | ubuntu_, u mean u r in Live Session? | 06:32 |
| ubuntu_ | SuNk8,because before i restart used recovery some thing like these i think that was probloum | 06:32 |
| ubuntu_ | SuNk8,yes | 06:32 |
| fme | ok | 06:32 |
| Vin73 | hello, does anyone know how to get ncurses development package on lucid? | 06:32 |
| SwedeMike | Loshki: encrypting / is a bit harder though, because there are so much things that need to work properly to have an initrd/busybox that has all the information and drivers to properly mount /, so I didn't bother with that. | 06:32 |
| fme | i got /dev/mapper/logic/sysroot formated with ext4fs | 06:32 |
| fme | well mkfs.ext4 | 06:33 |
| SuNk8 | ubuntu_, how does that partision show up in GParted or Disk Utility? is the filesystem recognised? | 06:33 |
| fme | how can i tell the alternate installer to install there? | 06:33 |
| ubuntu_ | SuNk8, when i switch the computer before grub coming it say (file error) | 06:33 |
| ubuntu_ | SuNk8, GPARTED say unlocated | 06:33 |
| Loshki | SwedeMike: we should probably move to -offtopic, but I see too many people come here with encrypted partitions they can no longer decrypt, or lvms they can no longer access. Combining the two just multiplies the complexity... | 06:33 |
| SuNk8 | ubuntu_, are you getting the grub prompt like 'grub>' or are you getting Error 17? | 06:33 |
| ubuntu_ | SuNk8, no i get just this error | 06:34 |
| SuNk8 | ubuntu_, the partition is messed up, r u dualbooting windows by any chance? | 06:34 |
| ubuntu_ | SuNk8,no | 06:35 |
| fme | red2kic I can unlock with cryptsetup but how do i tell the alt installer to use that decrypted lvm? | 06:35 |
| red2kic | fme: Point it to the correct path in partitions? | 06:36 |
| SwedeMike | Loshki: yes, I agree, it's a lot harder to rescue such a system, especially if you add raid1 of the system drive in there as well. Security and flexibility is complex. | 06:36 |
| fme | it only wants to make new partitions | 06:36 |
| red2kic | fme: Don't make a new partition? Don't delete it? I would suggest you to make a backup first. | 06:36 |
| SuNk8 | Try running a sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda, do u see ur partition thr? | 06:37 |
| SuNk8 | ubuntu_, Try running a sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda, do u see ur partition thr? | 06:37 |
| ubuntu_ | SuNk8,http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/9ZpGdAGQ | 06:38 |
| Loshki | fme: you know, if this data is so important, you should just go out and buy a 1TB disk and copy the whole thing. Disks have never been cheaper... | 06:38 |
| dontput | im also having problem :(( | 06:38 |
| ChangeL | Akuma_s :P | 06:38 |
| ChangeL | ia no? xD | 06:38 |
| dontput | same problem* | 06:38 |
| fme | yea but i also just moved halfway across the country, not exactly rolling in money | 06:39 |
| red2kic | fme: I'm downloading alternative iso for my own experiences. | 06:39 |
| SuNk8 | ubuntu_, the partition table's really messed up. I had a similar problem once. Have u tried testdisk before? | 06:39 |
| Akuma_s | Ya ChangeL | 06:39 |
| Akuma_s | :D | 06:40 |
| SuNk8 | ubuntu_, In 99% cases, your data is still there. | 06:40 |
| ubuntu_ | SuNk8,yess i think that was probloum | 06:40 |
| Loshki | fme: I sympathize, but it's pretty much your only solid protection against making some horrendous mistake while using the installer... | 06:40 |
| ubuntu_ | SuNk8, what should i do? | 06:40 |
| fme | i know =[ | 06:40 |
| AfC | What is the file in /etc (presumably) that dictates the locale of a system? | 06:40 |
| SuNk8 | ubuntu_, go to http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step and try to recover the partition table using 'deeper search'. It worked for me. | 06:41 |
| SuNk8 | ubuntu_, be sure to back up important data first... | 06:41 |
| ubuntu_ | SuNk8, i dont know how using this application | 06:42 |
| fme | ok | 06:42 |
| fme | i opened another shell and unlocked the lvm | 06:42 |
| fme | its showing up now | 06:42 |
| fme | im going to use the alt installer to reinstall like normal | 06:42 |
| SuNk8 | It's quite simple... That link is a step by step tutorial... | 06:42 |
| SuNk8 | ubuntu_, It's quite simple... That link is a step by step tutorial... | 06:42 |
| red2kic | fme: Now you can install it? | 06:43 |
| Mogga | just messed up my /etc/network/interfaces file and i'm an idiot... how can i startup without network to adjust it? | 06:43 |
| ubuntu_ | SuNk8, i afraid to lose them which are still i have | 06:43 |
| SuNk8 | ubuntu_, that risk does exist... but thr's another thing... | 06:44 |
| abhi_nav | Mogga, clear what you want to do | 06:44 |
| SuNk8 | ubuntu_, do u need the whole partition? or some data from it? | 06:44 |
| SuNk8 | ubuntu_, u can recover some data from that partition without messing anything up... | 06:44 |
| Mogga | abhi_nav: i tried to setup bonding using http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9517694&postcount=17 and now it's frozen on startup | 06:45 |
| Loshki | fme: ok, if it's anything like a regular install, there'll be an option 'manual partitioning' where you get to select which filesystems to use... | 06:45 |
| fme | Loshki yea that's what im doing | 06:45 |
| SuNk8 | abhi_nav, मेरा भारत महान!!! | 06:45 |
| abhi_nav | SuNk8, yes. I know. I copied my leaving msg? Its my copyright :P give me royslty. :P :D :) | 06:46 |
| abhi_nav | SuNk8, **you copied** | 06:47 |
| SuNk8 | ubuntu_, when u use testdisk, use p to list files and copy them to another portion on the harddisk, at least u'll get some data back... | 06:47 |
| Loshki | Mogga: how about: boot the live cd and then mount and edit /etc/network/interfaces ? | 06:47 |
| fme | thanks for the help, i think i can reinstall without overwriting everything | 06:47 |
| rollman | what is going on when you are in a directory and you run a program in assembly that changes the directory to nothing but your still in the directory and can list everything in the directory and the program terminates with an exit and ends up back in the directory you started with? | 06:47 |

| ubuntu_ | SuNk8, i need to recover my application not data | 06:49 |
| Loshki | Mogga: maybe a single user boot? If you can get a shell, you can edit the interface file... | 06:49 |
| Loshki | fme: best of luck... | 06:49 |
| fme | thanks =] | 06:49 |
| red2kic | fme: Just curious. Alternative have apt-get, aptitude, etc? | 06:50 |

| abhi_nav | can I tell him to change his nick? I guess its his temporari nick | 07:09 |
| Alazair | yea the mpq's are already compressed but 10gigs of already compressed into like 900megs is a feat :P | 07:09 |
| dontput | Loshki: look at your pm | 07:09 |
| Alazair | it was on a old amd 2800 with like a gig of ram box :P | 07:09 |
| MaRk-I | abhi_nav: press tab twice or ubu then tab :P | 07:09 |
| Alazair | had low priority to lol | 07:09 |
| abhi_nav | MaRk-I, :) | 07:09 |
| Jordan_U | ShapeShifter499: xz has incredible compression, but it takes a long time as well. I would use it over a proprietary option. | 07:09 |
| ShapeShifter499 | Alazair I need to send this netbook out for repair ASAP, the web cam broke, and I need to backup like 25+ gigs of stuff | 07:09 |
| ubuntu_ | abhi_nav, i know that but i dont download all package again after i installed ubuntu | 07:10 |
| Mogga | Loshki: <esc> but the filesystem is read only | 07:10 |
| Alazair | why not just clone the drive? | 07:10 |
| Alazair | and use clonezilla to a nas? | 07:10 |
| chanti | jonc: do one thing, " sudo apt-get install wvdial" in command prompt, then you have to give password | 07:10 |
| Loshki | dontput: Again, that's not what I asked for. You sent 'df -h'. I asked for 'sudo fdisk -l' | 07:10 |
| Jordan_U | ShapeShifter499: What type of data do you need to back up? | 07:10 |
| ShapeShifter499 | Alazair no space to put it D= | 07:10 |
| abhi_nav | ubuntu_, no at the time of restoration it will not download 'all' packages' from net. it 'may' need to downoad 'some' package to download but majority will be in your hdd only. | 07:10 |
| Alazair | you dont have a networked pc laying around? | 07:10 |
| Alazair | :S | 07:10 |
| ShapeShifter499 | Jordan_U: things like music, documents, etc | 07:11 |
| abhi_nav | ubuntu_, see as Alazair is suggestion clonezilaa is one option | 07:11 |
| Alazair | my recommendation is this | 07:11 |
| abhi_nav | !clonezilla | ubuntu_ | 07:11 |
| Jordan_U | ShapeShifter499: Music won't compress to that extent since it's already compressed. | 07:11 |
| Loshki | Mogga: run fsck -p on it, then you can remount it rw, mount -o remount,rw or something, check your man page.. | 07:11 |
| Alazair | go to wallyworld or whatever go grab an 80gig usb drive and use clonezilla to image the drive so you dont have to completely start from scratch | 07:11 |
| jonc | chanti: E: Couldn't find package wvdial | 07:11 |
| Alazair | 80gig usb external is like 40 bucks now tops | 07:11 |
| ubuntu_ | abhi_nav, i dont understood clonezilla | 07:12 |
| abhi_nav | Alazair, can you please explain him what is clonezilla? | 07:12 |
| ShapeShifter499 | alazair its better if I start from scratch | 07:12 |
| Alazair | well your best route is to still get a external hd | 07:13 |
| Alazair | uhh Clonezilla is a drive imaging program | 07:13 |
| ShapeShifter499 | alazair :/ | 07:13 |
| abhi_nav | Alazair, i mean to ubuntu_ ? | 07:13 |
| dontput | Loshki: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/mqYwwZQi | 07:13 |
| Loshki | rollman: still there? | 07:13 |
| Alazair | ubuntu_ Clonezilla is a imaging software its like taking a picture of your hd and you can go back to in the future if something happens | 07:13 |
| chanti | jonc: did you enter in root user or not | 07:14 |
| abhi_nav | someone please execute that clonezila factoid. I dont know exact | 07:14 |
| rollman | loshki yeah | 07:14 |
| Alazair | Clonezilla, based on DRBL, Partclone and udpcast, allows you to do bare metal backup and recovery. Two types of Clonezilla are available, Clonezilla live and Clonezilla SE (server edition). Clonezilla live is suitable for single machine backup and restore. While Clonezilla SE is for massive deployment, it can clone many (40 plus!) computers simultaneously. Clonezilla saves and restores only used blocks in the harddisk. This increases the | 07:15 |
| Alazair | clone efficiency. At the NCHC's Classroom C, Clonezilla SE was used to clone 41 computers simultaneously. It took only about 10 minutes to clone a 5.6 GBytes system image to all 41 computers via multicasting! | 07:15 |
| GonardFreeman | can i do from ny ububtu 10.04 xubuntu 10.04 without reistalation, and how? | 07:15 |
| Vin73 | hello, can someone tell me which is the default audio driver that comes with lucid, alsa or oss? | 07:15 |
| s3r3n1t7 | Alazair, that solves a problem for my at work. Where can i find more info about this? | 07:15 |
| abhi_nav | GonardFreeman, what? do you want to install xubuntu on ubuntu? if not please clear | 07:15 |
| Alazair | clonezilla.org | 07:16 |
| [Screamo] | Vin73, i think is alsa | 07:16 |
| maco | Vin73: ubuntu uses alsa. it's whats in the kernel | 07:16 |
| s3r3n1t7 | Alazair, thank you | 07:16 |
| MaRk-I | GonardFreeman: you mean have xfce desktop? | 07:16 |
| Alazair | np | 07:16 |
| maco | Vin73: oss is not part of the upstream kernel | 07:16 |
| Vin73 | maco: is there a command that lists the driver? | 07:16 |
| chanti | jonc : you have to enter into root user. commands are "su" ,then you have to give root password | 07:16 |
| ubuntu_ | i cant find clonezilla package | 07:16 |
| maco | Vin73: lsmod | grep snd <-- will list the modules | 07:16 |
| GonardFreeman | abhi_nav, i've had xubuntu, and then i've update it, and now i have ubuntu( i prefer xubuntu) | 07:16 |
| MaRk-I | Vin73: pulseaudio with alsa | 07:17 |
| Vin73 | maco: thanks | 07:17 |
| abhi_nav | ubuntu_, see this http://clonezilla.org/ | 07:17 |
| abhi_nav | GonardFreeman, so now you have both xubuntu and ubuntu. ok. so what you want to do with them now? | 07:17 |
| Vin73 | MaRk-I, Screamo: thanks | 07:17 |
| Loshki | dontput: you have no /dev/sda1. But you *do* have /dev/hda1. You can't fsck it though, because it's the system partition, so it's in use... | 07:17 |
| GonardFreeman | MaRk-I, no, before update i've xubuntu, but hten i've update it and nave it says that i have ubuntu) | 07:18 |
| Loshki | dontput: please don't pm or DCC chat me... | 07:18 |
| jonc | chanti: "su: authentication failure" - i'm sure i'm entering the correct password | 07:18 |
| GonardFreeman | abhi_nav, i dont have both | 07:18 |
| dontput | Loshki: Ok ok.. so what would i do next? | 07:18 |
| ubuntu_ | thanks every onee | 07:18 |
| abhi_nav | <GonardFreeman> abhi_nav, i've had xubuntu, and then i've update it, and now i have ubuntu( i prefer xubuntu) | 07:18 |
| GonardFreeman | abhi_nav, there is only ubuntu | 07:18 |
| Loshki | dontput: remind me, what problem were you trying to solve? | 07:18 |
| abhi_nav | GonardFreeman, ok so whats the issue now? | 07:18 |
| MaRk-I | GonardFreeman: if you did an "online" upgrade you should still have xubuntu, if you upgraded from an ubuntu cd instead of xubuntu you could install the xubuntu desktop | 07:19 |
| GonardFreeman | abhi_nav, how i can update ubuntu xubuntu(if i can say that?) | 07:19 |
| Loshki | rollman: were you using chdir() in your program? | 07:19 |
| dontput | Loshki: to fix and not using livedisk nymore? | 07:19 |
| abhi_nav | GonardFreeman, first see what MaRk-I is saying. please clear us what is your situation | 07:19 |
| Vin73 | maco: when I run the command, I see that oss is the built-in driver...as part of the command output I see snd_mixer_oss, snd_pcm_oss et al. | 07:19 |
| GonardFreeman | MaRk-I, oh, thx, i've made online update | 07:19 |
| pooky | can anyone recommend a good task management system for ubuntu? I tried tasque, but it seems to crash often. | 07:20 |
| maco | Vin73: those are emulators for oss | 07:20 |
| maco | Vin73: for old programs that dont speak alsa | 07:20 |
| MaRk-I | GonardFreeman: then you should have xubuntu , unless you unstalled "ubuntu-desktop" | 07:20 |
| Joshmuffin | anyone pro with dual monitors with an ati card in ubuntu10.04 | 07:20 |
| rollman | no i used movl $12, %eax | 07:20 |
| Vin73 | maco: what is the command output that would inform me that alsa is available? | 07:20 |
| Vin73 | maco: I don't see any output text that says alsa | 07:20 |
| Loshki | dontput: are you running from the live cd right now? | 07:20 |
| chanti | jonc: no. you enter your user password, but you have to give root password | 07:21 |
| rollman | that's system call to chdir | 07:21 |
| GonardFreeman | MaRk-I, i have new qustion. at start i write gnome panel to open task bar, is there some "xubuntu-panel"? | 07:21 |
| maco | Vin73: i have patches in the alsa that's in ubuntu's kernel... | 07:21 |
| Karen_m | something is weird; on my lan.. after a while the ubuntu will set itself up as the 'router' or something. With ubuntu plugged into the router, everything stops functioning after a period of time, as soon as I unplug ubuntu, the network is back to normal. Has anyone heard of this? | 07:21 |
| maco | Vin73: snd_* modules are from the alsa-kernel tree | 07:22 |
| dontput | Loshki: yes | 07:22 |
| MaRk-I | GonardFreeman: no idea, but you can try, dont you have graphical login? | 07:22 |
| Vin73 | maco: ok...so if you see snd_* output, it should inform you that alsa is present, am I correct? | 07:22 |
| jonc | chanti: ok, figured that part out-i didnt have a password set. | 07:23 |
| GonardFreeman | MaRk-I, nope( long time ago i've exit from system and it disapears) | 07:23 |
| maco | Vin73: believe so | 07:23 |
| chanti | jonc: no way, you must give root password at the time of OS installation | 07:23 |
| maco | Vin73: cat /proc/asound/version | 07:24 |
| maco | Vin73: thatll tell you the alsa version | 07:24 |
| Loshki | dontput: from the live cd, it's ok to run: sudo fsck -p /dev/hda1 | 07:24 |
| GonardFreeman | abhi_nav, do u now is there some "xubuntu-panel", like gnome-panel? | 07:24 |
| jonc | chanti: apparently it had only set the user password. i had to run "sudo passwd" and set root password. *shrug* | 07:25 |
| chanti | jonc: No prob | 07:25 |
| abhi_nav | GonardFreeman, better to ask in #xubuntu. I dont know much about xfce. never used it. | 07:25 |
| Alazair | hey i have a weird problem i cant unmount my 750gig data drive im trying to repartition it to ext4 | 07:25 |
| Vin73 | maco: ok thanks a lot, the reason I asked was I need to install zoiper softphone on my system...and the softphone comes in both oss and alsa variants...so I will go ahead and install the alsa variant...thanks again | 07:25 |
| Loshki | rollman: chdir() runs in a child process created by the shell. The parent process (the shell) is unaffected by the chdir that happens in its child. Does that make sense? | 07:25 |
| Alazair | fstab has it auto mount but it wont let me unmount it even with gksu | 07:26 |
| jonc | chanti: i tried wvdial again but under root - still the same | 07:26 |
| * GonardFreeman cat /dev/ass > /dev/head))) | 07:26 | |
| rollman | i can still list everything in directory but it's all white and program still runs and i can run it again and it takes dir further out and each time i run the program i have to exit each time for every run | 07:26 |
| ubuntu_ | i recovered some files by testdisk but i dont know where they gone? | 07:26 |
| indus | Alazair, what message u get | 07:26 |
| chanti | jonc: oh....., let me see | 07:26 |
| Alazair | i think i figured out why lol | 07:26 |
| Morten_ | hey, how do I copy a file from a system that I have to access like #ssh asd@server1 #ssh asd@server2? | 07:26 |
| Alazair | had vlc running on the big screen with a movie playing in the other room | 07:26 |
| maco | Vin73: np | 07:26 |
| rollman | it's weird program | 07:26 |
| indus | Morten_, using scp | 07:26 |
| dontput | Loshki: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/B72w0dng | 07:26 |
| Morten_ | indus, but how do I get to server two using scp? | 07:27 |
| Morten_ | that is my problem | 07:27 |
| holocene | rollman, whatis purpose of program? | 07:27 |
| MaRk-I | GonardFreeman: I agree you should try #xubuntu I'm not familiar either, but gdm gives you a choice of what desktop environment you want to use if you have more than 1 installed | 07:27 |
| dontput | Loshki: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/B72w0dng | 07:28 |
| GonardFreeman | MaRk-I, what is this GDM?) | 07:28 |
| rollman | it was originally used to try run an example program but ELF wasn't found so i switched it to system call chdir | 07:28 |
| indus | Morten_, for example to copy to the remote system scp -p #portnumber filename yourname@Remote host : directory name | 07:28 |
| Loshki | dontput: that's very bad. Try: sudo fsck -b 8193 /dev/hda1 | 07:28 |
| hellosir | um... sorry if this is a stupid question, but i got disconnected from an ssh session when i had stopped the ssh daemon - is there a way to get back in? | 07:28 |
| indus | Morten_, just follow this one http://www.hypexr.org/linux_scp_help.php | 07:28 |
| MaRk-I | GonardFreeman: the initial login window, graphical desktop login manager | 07:29 |
| holocene | rollman, so your program just does a chdir from assembly? | 07:29 |
| rollman | yes | 07:29 |
| indus | !scp | 07:29 |
| holocene | Then the answer about child process is correct. | 07:29 |
| ubottu | SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ | 07:29 |

| Loshki | rollman: well basically I'm telling you that you can't use chdir to change your current directory because it doesn't work how you think... | 07:30 |
| Voldenet | hm, isnt rhytmbox compatibile with ipod? | 07:31 |
| jagosix | dunno | 07:31 |

| Voldenet | Alazair, is this disk 'brand new'? | 07:32 |
| Mogga | Loshki: got the network up and running again after fixing a typo but the bond is definitely not happy... lots of malloc errors on startup | 07:32 |
| Voldenet | Use s.m.a.r.t. to find out wtf | 07:33 |
| Alazair | not the drive but the format yes | 07:33 |
| dontput | Loshki: and there theres "init= bootarg" something to it | 07:33 |
| Alazair | 0 bad sectors | 07:33 |
| Alazair | 0 s.m.a.r.t. errors | 07:33 |
| Voldenet | Odd. | 07:33 |

| karma_police | i have a dumb question... if i dl the ubuntu iso from the site is it the current kernel and fully updated or is it the same iso that was released on release day? | 07:36 |
| Voldenet | same iso | 07:36 |
| maco | karma_police: at the moment, the same iso | 07:36 |
| abhi_nav | karma_police, same as that of on release date | 07:37 |

| chanti | jonc: did you on the wifi button in you system | 07:37 |
| dontput | Loshki: ok so what ima going to do? | 07:37 |
| Loshki | dontput: I don't think init=bootarg will help, but it's ok to try it. You can also try running testdisk | 07:37 |
| Loshki | !testdisk | 07:37 |

| jonc | chanti: however the LED does not change to indicate "on" | 07:38 |
| holocene | maco, you didn't mean 10.04, right? | 07:38 |
| karma_police | is there a daily build site to dl from? or a checkpoint date to wait on? the reason i am asking i use pendrive linux with persistence.. whenever i run an update that involes a ner kernal image it renders the flash drive useless and i have to start all over.. i'm a bit of a noob so i may be doing something wrong. | 07:38 |
| aristo | jagosix, at work rhel and debian, at home ubuntu, debian, jolicloud and sometimes fedora | 07:39 |

| hellosir | dumb question - is there a way to get into a remote server to restart sshd? | 07:40 |
| maco | jagosix: youll have to test out ubuntu's livecd to see its hardware support | 07:41 |
| s3r3n1t7 | hellosir, i'm afraid that, unless you have setup another means of remote access, there is no such way. | 07:41 |
| maco | jagosix: ubuntu's all ive run on hardware in recent years | 07:41 |
| jagosix | The main problem I have with ubuntu is the video setup and configuration. | 07:41 |
| s3r3n1t7 | maco, it appears it hasn't. | 07:41 |
| maco | s3r3n1t7: except now it's about ubuntu | 07:41 |
| hellosir | s3r3n1t7: crap. thanks | 07:41 |
| Voldenet | jagosix, i'm guessing you're using ati, right? | 07:41 |
| maco | s3r3n1t7: so it's ontopic | 07:42 |
| chanti | jonc: ok fine. connect network wire. then type" sudo apt-get update" , then you to give password | 07:42 |
| jagosix | ya | 07:42 |
| Voldenet | well, ati does not give a crap about linux users | 07:42 |
| Loshki | hellosir: probably not. Unless some idiot turned telnet on (unlikely)... | 07:42 |

| jagosix | ati on my main computer and Nvidia on my worstation | 07:42 |
| jagosix | oops workstation | 07:42 |
| indus | jagosix, which ati model? | 07:42 |
| jonc | chanti: doesnt appear that adapter is working either. | 07:42 |
| jagosix | hold a min | 07:42 |
| aristo | jagosix, linux drivers are the only reason why i choose nvidia | 07:43 |
| chanti | jonc: after update " sudo apt-get upgrade" command you have to type. It takes some time, depends on you net speed | 07:43 |
| jagosix | Gforce 61XX series | 07:43 |
| indus | jagosix, no i mean the ATI | 07:43 |
| dontput | Loshki: anyways if ill not want to save my data's, what ima going to do now? | 07:43 |
| jagosix | my bad ..This is the one I have trouble with ubuntu on | 07:44 |
| indus | aristo, do you have an ATI card ? | 07:44 |
| jonc | chanti: i got a bunch of failed to fetch messages and "could not resolve us.archive.ubuntu.com" messages | 07:44 |
| dontput | Loshki: unmount cdrom? and im done? | 07:44 |
| jagosix | the gforce 61xx series | 07:44 |
| aristo | indus, had | 07:44 |
| chanti | jonc: that means network continuously failure there | 07:44 |
| indus | aristo, well have you heard of ATI open source drivers? | 07:44 |
| aristo | indus, yes, tried and didn't like it | 07:45 |
| aristo | indus, video tearing drives me mad | 07:45 |
| indus | aristo, have you seen its performance today ? or of the new catalyst 10.6 driver | 07:45 |
| chanti | jonc: Type this command immediately "sudo apt-get update" | 07:45 |
| aristo | indus, recently no | 07:46 |
| chanti | jonc: then type "apt_get dist-upgrade" | 07:46 |
| indus | aristo, for those who prefer an open driver, ATI Is miles ahead of anyone | 07:46 |
| Loshki | dontput: if you don't mind about the data, just reinstall from the livecd. When it asks, tell it to ignore any existing distros. Choose ext3 as filesystem type, and this time, make /home on a separate partition so if you have to reinstall again, you can keep your data... | 07:46 |
| Voldenet | jagosix, did you try official nvidia drivers? | 07:46 |
| aristo | indus, nouveau drivers are good | 07:46 |
| indus | aristo, and with the new 10.6 catalyst, the difference from older one is significant | 07:46 |
| cggaurav | This is a simple query , though I am unable to find the solution online. If I want to run a C++ program I do ./helloworld from the current directory. How would I do it from lets say home/ ? | 07:46 |
| jagosix | yep..sure did. | 07:46 |
| === [Screamo]offline is now known as [Screamo] | ||
| indus | aristo, they aint as good as the ati ones yet but they will be\ | 07:47 |
| Voldenet | cggaurav, what do you mean? | 07:47 |
| jagosix | I'll try it again later | 07:47 |
| chanti | jonc: drivers are not installed into your sys. that is the main problem. you have to upgrade your system | 07:47 |
| Voldenet | cd to your home | 07:47 |
| aristo | indus, have to check catalyst 10.6 | 07:47 |
| Voldenet | and enter full path to program | 07:47 |
| aristo | maybe if i buy a nice 5850 | 07:47 |
| indus | aristo, yes its actually awesome relatively speaking | 07:47 |
| Voldenet | like: /home/myprogs/helloworld | 07:47 |
| cggaurav | Voldenet : Lets say the program sits in home/a/b/c/helloworld.cpp | 07:47 |
| indus | aristo, they fixed the maximise minimise bug | 07:47 |
| prince_jammys | cggaurav: the './' is just a path that simply means 'in the current dir'. if you are elsewhere, you can type the path to the file. | 07:48 |
| cggaurav | Voldenet: How would I see the output without cd from home instead of c | 07:48 |
| cggaurav | ? | 07:48 |
| Voldenet | gcc /home/a/b/c/helloworld.cpp -o /home/a/b/c/helloworld | 07:48 |
| jonc | chanti: hahah - how ironic. gotta get online to upgrade so that i can get online. =D | 07:48 |
| Voldenet | then cd ~ | 07:48 |
| indus | aristo, some minor issues with compiz but i had that issue with nvidia also , dont like compiz :) | 07:48 |
| Voldenet | /home/a/b/c/helloworld | 07:48 |
| Loshki | jonc: you aren't the first.... :-( | 07:48 |
| soreau | indus: What issues exactly? | 07:48 |
| cggaurav | Voldenet: gives me no output. | 07:49 |
| MaRk-I | jonc: are you using wireless? | 07:49 |
| aristo | indus, what about video tearing and wined3d? | 07:49 |
| cggaurav | Voldenet: though from c it does. | 07:49 |
| Voldenet | Well, put your sources on pastebin | 07:49 |
| jonc | mark-i: im trying to get either wired or wireless working | 07:49 |
| MaRk-I | jonc: oic, wired not working or is internet problems? | 07:49 |
| indus | aristo, ah no wine is still bad with ATI but i dont think that will be fixed, wine is anyway not a priority | 07:49 |
| indus | soreau, issues with ? | 07:50 |
| aristo | indus, no wine, no ati | 07:50 |
| jonc | mark-i: both wired and wireless are not working. fresh 10.04 install on HP dv6000 laptop. | 07:50 |
| MaRk-I | jonc: odd | 07:50 |
| indus | aristo, use windows for gaming, wine is anyway unsupported, i had nvidia before and that aint great either | 07:51 |
| soreau | <indus> aristo, some minor issues with compiz but i had that issue with nvidia also , dont like compiz :) <-- whatever minor issues you're referring to here | 07:51 |
| indus | soreau, yes, some black color boxes sometimes in menus | 07:51 |
| aristo | indus, why if i can play with wine, i have a steam account with 15 game | 07:51 |
| aristo | s | 07:51 |
| indus | soreau, with ATI though | 07:51 |
| jagosix | kde4 I use its features over compiz. | 07:51 |
| soreau | indus: Can you provide a screenshot? | 07:52 |
| indus | soreau, actually, one thing i notice is, window border tear for dark themes | 07:52 |
| indus | soreau, iam at work now, so | 07:52 |
| indus | soreau, are you a dev for compiz ? | 07:52 |
| soreau | indus: You could say that ;) | 07:53 |
| indus | soreau, ok,are you aware of the window border gap when using alt tab etc? | 07:54 |
| chanti | I am using ubuntu10, Dell inspiron is my system, sound coming from head phone only, but not working inbuilt speakers, anybody help please | 07:54 |
| indus | soreau, i can see a light passing through it :) | 07:54 |
| indus | soreau, otherwise no other big issues with it , and with ATI fixing their drivers, after many years i finally start using compiz | 07:55 |
| === palam_ is now known as palam | ||
| soreau | indus: No, I'm not particularly familiar with that.. I thought you said black 'color boxes in menus' which is what I was hoping for a screenshot of | 07:55 |
| indus | soreau, ah thats a bit rare but even when i get that, on pressing prtscn it goes off | 07:55 |
| MaRk-I | jonc: right now is the laptop connected wired or trying wireless? | 07:56 |
| soreau | indus: Right.. so you want your decorations to adhere to the windows when wobbling? | 07:56 |
| indus | soreau, for example, on ubuntuforums website, when i keep mouse over the thread, it provides summary in a box, but i had it all grey box | 07:56 |
| jonc | mark-I: the laptop is connected wired | 07:56 |
| indus | soreau, ah yes yes exactly but no decorations, just plain window border | 07:56 |
| soreau | indus: window decorations *are* the window border in compiz | 07:56 |
| indus | soreau, oh heh ok | 07:57 |
| indus | soreau, i think it happens with lighter themes also but its not that visible | 07:57 |
| MaRk-I | jonc: can you ping a website or your router? | 07:57 |
| indus | soreau, but you have email ? i can send you screenshot if possible for those window boxes in firefox sometimes happens | 07:57 |
| jonc | mark-i: "network is unreachable" | 07:58 |

| arunkumar413 | airtonix: then vendor? | 08:01 |
| airtonix | arunkumar413, actually two hexidecimal numbers speraated by colon | 08:01 |
| indus | soreau, ok so 2 things i mentioned, window border gap between border and main window, and 2. some times (rare ) black boxes in ff or menus probably | 08:02 |
| airtonix | arunkumar413, vendorid : deviceid | 08:02 |
| Alazair | how can i find the uif of a drive? | 08:02 |
| Alazair | so i can add a drive to fstab | 08:02 |
| airtonix | Alazair, read the ubuntu wiki page about fstab... its also uuid not uif. | 08:02 |
| indus | soreau, hey i need one help ? how to do anti aliasing wiht compiz, my borders are all jagged and ugly | 08:02 |
| xiaogui | Hi, guys. :) I downloaded some Chinese text files, it came in .rar files and i unrared them, but when it open the files, the contents are just unreadable, any solutions? Thanks in advance! | 08:03 |
| soreau | indus: 1) Known issue, likely driver bug 2) You would have to find a way to reliably reproduce the bug, then submit a bug report | 08:03 |
| MaRk-I | jonc: ugh never mind, if no internet how you're goint to paste xD | 08:03 |
| jonc | mark-i: i was just thinking that. hahah | 08:03 |
| soreau | indus: There is no FSAA with the open radeon drivers yet AFAIK | 08:03 |
| indus | soreau, no no i use ATI proprietary driver | 08:04 |
| MaRk-I | jonc: but there are NICs detected and have an IP ??? | 08:04 |
| MaRk-I | with the ifconfig command I mean | 08:04 |
| cggaurav | Voldenet: http://paste.ubuntu.com/460993/ | 08:04 |
| soreau | indus: Then you would use amdcccle | 08:04 |
| jonc | mark-i: its showing loopback | 08:04 |
| cggaurav | Voldenet: Excuse me for the delay. | 08:04 |
| MaRk-I | that's it? no eth0, eth1, wlan0? | 08:05 |
| indus | soreau, oh, so i need to use it from that ? no control from compiz itself ? | 08:05 |
| soreau | indus: It should have all the AA settings you want. But, IMHO, the open radeon driver is better overall | 08:05 |
| jonc | mark-i: it shows both wired and wireless adpaters when i use lspci. but for ifconfig, nothing. | 08:05 |
| soreau | indus: No, AA is all in the driver | 08:05 |
| soreau | indus: Compiz has no control over the drivers capabiliies | 08:05 |
| soreau | capabilities* | 08:05 |
| indus | soreau, it wont run games :) and even though i find the open source drivers till now great , 10.6 has changed my opinion | 08:05 |
| jonc | mark-i: also when i click on hardware drivers, nothing shows up - completely blank. | 08:05 |
| soreau | indus: What wont run games? | 08:06 |
| indus | soreau, quake 4 wont run with open drivers | 08:06 |
| MaRk-I | jonc: how did you install? | 08:06 |
| soreau | indus: In that case, you definitely need to ask in #radeon to get a better answer | 08:06 |
| jonc | mark-i: via CD | 08:06 |
| MaRk-I | jonc: try using the livecd mode, if it works then it might be a bad install | 08:07 |
| indus | soreau, i dont care about my drivers being open source :) but yes i asked in #radeon , just google for indus and radeon and it s first result from irc logs | 08:07 |
| soreau | indus: AFAIK, Q4 should run with open drivers, if not classic, then gallium | 08:07 |
| jonc | mark-i: ok, i'll give that a try | 08:07 |
| indus | soreau, its not about the driver, its about bits in quake 4 whihc are proprietary and cannot be run by it , s3tc texture compression | 08:08 |
| danjac | Hi, I've just done an upgrade on my Xubuntu install (Acer Aspire One netbook). Was working perfectly before. Now CouchDB immediately starts using up all the memory on start, and I have to kill it. Is there any good reason to keep CouchDB on my machine ? | 08:08 |
| MaRk-I | jonc: good luck | 08:08 |

| indus | soreau, i read about an external library called | 08:10 |
| soreau | (while I find the link) | 08:10 |
| danjac | but will try that channel, thanks | 08:10 |
| indus | soreau, i know but its not proper, i asked in #radeon | 08:10 |
| soreau | indus: Indeed, but have you tried it to see if it helps yet? | 08:11 |
| indus | soreau, yes i compiled it installed it etc, but it didnt run , but i think that was probably my mistake , i didnt do it right probably | 08:11 |
| cggaurav | Voldenet: I figured it out.;) | 08:11 |
| indus | soreau, ah no wait, i later installed a gui tool also :) damn easy | 08:12 |
| Voldenet | cggaurav, no problem ;P | 08:12 |
| indus | soreau, but i just couldnt run q4 | 08:12 |
| soreau | indus: If you installed the lib correctly, you should see this in glxinfo output I believe *checks* | 08:12 |
| indus | soreau, yes i did see it | 08:12 |

| indus | soreau, yes package called DRICONF | 08:14 |
| indus | !Info driconf | 08:14 |
| indus | !info driconf | 08:14 |
| ubottu | driconf (source: driconf): DRI configuration applet. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.1-2ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 95 kB, installed size 412 kB | 08:14 |
| soreau | indus: You shouldn't need to mess with driconf since the open driver is smart enough at guessing what you need already as defaults | 08:15 |
| indus | soreau, well , smart i dont know, but back a few months ago when karmic was in alpha, i was stuck with ATI card adn no q4 so tried all things | 08:15 |
| indus | soreau, because fglrx wont support new x server 1.7 yet | 08:16 |
| indus | or xorg 1.7 whatever | 08:16 |
| soreau | indus: fglrx sucks | 08:16 |
| indus | soreau, its good enough for me | 08:16 |
| soreau | indus: Which card sis you say you have? | 08:16 |
| soreau | did* | 08:16 |
| indus | soreau, ATI 4850 | 08:16 |

| iceroot | zoddan: #cisco | 08:17 |

| zoddan | cisco :P | 08:17 |
| indus | soreau, dont know if gaming is good today on them, but i hear it s not a priority | 08:17 |
| Voldenet | what products? | 08:17 |
| soreau | indus: Yes but it is getting better all the time. hopefully, r600g will be a lot better than what it is now | 08:18 |
| indus | soreau, anyways, i think all graphics drivers suck on all platforms | 08:18 |

| SonOfIslam | just kidding | 08:18 |
| soreau | indus: Yes, like I said all drivers have their strong points and weaknesses | 08:18 |
| indus | soreau, i liked the older days when one driver was good enough for many things | 08:19 |

| arunkumar413 | location bar shows icons.i want the path to be shown | 08:19 |
| indus | soreau, my probl;em who will solve :) | 08:20 |
| indus | soreau, i want s3tc support | 08:20 |
| indus | soreau, good one | 08:20 |
| indus | soreau, so i use fglrx | 08:20 |
| soreau | indus: First thing I'd recommend is removing the fglrx driver so the open radeon driver can work | 08:20 |
| Vin73 | hi can anyone tell me how to install libwxgtk on lucid? | 08:20 |
| indus | soreau, in #radeon they said, even if s3tc works, all textures will be broken | 08:21 |
| scar_ | #llvm | 08:21 |
| indus | soreau, i play only 2 games ,q4 on linux, and bad company 2 windows | 08:21 |
| prince_jammys | !find wxgtk | 08:21 |
| ubottu | Found: libwxgtk2.6-0, libwxgtk2.6-dbg, libwxgtk2.6-dev, libwxgtk2.8-0, libwxgtk2.8-dbg (and 5 others) | 08:21 |
| indus | soreau, i set up a server too a few weeks back , come and play :) | 08:21 |
| soreau | indus: Well I give up. I would recommend giving the radeon drier another go by removing fglrx and installing a newer kernel (2.6.34 from ppa) and newer userspace components (from xorg-edgers ppa repo) | 08:22 |
| indus | soreau, i will install maverick alpha soon, so open driver i will check there | 08:22 |
| Vin73 | hello.... | 08:22 |
| indus | soreau, dont give up on things you believe strongly about :) | 08:22 |
| indus | soreau, hehe | 08:22 |
| arunkumar413 | file browser location bar shows the icons instead of path | 08:23 |
| indus | soreau, but are you saying, the newer driver will run my game ? | 08:23 |
| indus | you seem persistent | 08:23 |
| indus | soreau, iam happy with general performance of open driver even now | 08:23 |
| indus | soreau, its much smoother i know | 08:24 |
| soreau | indus: I don't give up on things I believe strongly about. I *do* give up on people who do not want to be helped ;) | 08:24 |
| fodder70 | arunkumar413, hit ctrl+l for a list view | 08:24 |
| nbkr | Vin73, sudo apt-get install libwxgt2.8-0 (for version 2.8 obviously) | 08:24 |
| deusr | hi | 08:25 |
| soreau | indus: No, I am not saying the open driver will run any game, I'm saying if you cannot run something with the radeon driver, file a bug report on fdo and present it in an inviting manner to the radeon devs and you likely will get good support | 08:25 |
| indus | soreau, ok thanks for your suggestions, i will keep you in the loop | 08:25 |

| hasenj | not even ctrl-alt-f1 work | 08:26 |
| vaibhav | what is the address of paste bin | 08:26 |
| indus | soreau, focus blur whats that one | 08:26 |
| rambo3 | how do I create user home folder after I add him ? | 08:26 |
| indus | rambo3, automatically created | 08:26 |
| nbkr | vaibhav, pastbin.org | 08:26 |
| indus | AFAIK | 08:27 |
| hasenj | i remember there was a dpkg-reconfigure console-something | 08:27 |
| nbkr | rambo3, Just copy /etc/skel to whatever the homedir of the user is. | 08:27 |
| soreau | indus: It's a component in the Blur Windows plugin in ccsm. On r6-7xx, I don't expect it to work quite yet | 08:27 |
| indus | soreau, i try using it, but not sure what it did, | 08:28 |
| rambo3 | nbkr, so: mkdir /home/newuser && cp -r /etc/skel /home/newuser ? | 08:28 |
| indus | soreau, also whats bicubic filter ? | 08:28 |
| nbkr | rambo3, That should do. Don't forget the "chmod" afterwards. | 08:28 |
| Anarchy7 | hi all | 08:28 |
| Anarchy7 | askhader: you here ? | 08:28 |

| nbkr | rambo3, and the chown/chgrp of course | 08:28 |
| vaibhav | * highlightMoveDuration : int | 08:28 |
| soreau | indus: It should render things like rotate cube and enhanced desktop zoom more clearly | 08:28 |
| indus | soreau, ok | 08:29 |
| hoare | nbkr: I cloned my /lib/initramfs/init script as init2 and edited many things in it. however when i execute mkinitramfs -f init2 -o . command and I boot generated image in that folder, it still uses old init script.. | 08:29 |
| soreau | indus: Possibly at the expense of speed | 08:29 |
| indus | soreau, i think your r 350 is nt supported by fglrx | 08:29 |
| elric | hey,guys can somebody help me with making my remote in lucid? | 08:29 |
| indus | soreau, how did you get the devs to fix it? | 08:29 |
| indus | soreau, that blur thing | 08:29 |
| nbkr | hoare, did you tell grub which image to use? | 08:29 |
| soreau | indus: You are correct. rv350 is not supported. All r1xx-r5xx is no longer supported by fglrx | 08:30 |
| MaRk-I | elric: making what remote? | 08:30 |
| hoare | nbkr: nope. but it generates a initramfs file which is about 5mb. | 08:30 |
| soreau | indus: I got the devs to fix it by filing a bug and being there when they asked me to test patches against mesa | 08:30 |
| indus | soreau, ah hmm | 08:30 |
| elric | MaRK-I: ir remote control,the one u get with the laptos | 08:30 |
| MaRk-I | elric: ah no idea sorry | 08:31 |
| indus | soreau, ok | 08:31 |
| indus | soreau, good for you | 08:31 |
| indus | soreau,i file only ubuntu bugs but they are never fixed | 08:31 |
| indus | soreau, or maybe they are more fit upstream | 08:31 |
| indus | soreau, havent filed one for years though | 08:32 |
| bazhang | !ot | 08:32 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 08:32 |
| soreau | indus: There are so many bugs filed in launchpad (the place where ubuntu bugs are filed) many of them get disregarded | 08:32 |
| indus | soreau,i triaged a few, but its too much work :) | 08:32 |
| indus | soreau, need more volunteers | 08:33 |
| bazhang | indus, soreau please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic | 08:33 |
| soreau | indus: If you have a definite bug that you know is a radeon driver bug, you can file a detailed report on fdo (which means bugs.freedesktop.org) and talk to the developers in #radeon and #dri-devel | 08:33 |
| soreau | bazhang: This is not OT. | 08:34 |
| nbkr | hoare, This file has to go to /boot and you have to modify the grub config, so that the boot loader uses the new init script. | 08:34 |
| bazhang | soreau, chatting about how many bugs you file certainly is | 08:34 |
| soreau | It has directly to do with the fact that the radeon drivers are being heavily developed and ubuntu ships releases, not live builds | 08:34 |
| soreau | bazhang: It's not chatting, sorry. This is support. | 08:35 |
| soreau | If you don't like it, kick me | 08:35 |
| meatbun | anyone happened to have acer 533 netbook? how it perform with ubunt? | 08:35 |
| karma_police | is anyone familiar with pendrivelinux? or ubuntu with persistence on a usb drive? | 08:35 |
| meatbun | or the new 521 netbook | 08:35 |
| abhi_nav | karma_police you want to burn ubuntu to usb pen drive? or what else? | 08:36 |
| hoare | nkbr: I want to use it on another computer without modifying mine. how can I do that + how can I specify my own init script? | 08:36 |
| hoare | nkbr: in wheich folder should I execute my init script | 08:36 |
| hoare | nbkr: sorry ^ look at previous msgs. | 08:36 |
| hoare | nbkr: does it matter in which folder I exec mkinitramfs? | 08:36 |
| karma_police | gb persistence | 08:36 |
| karma_police | i have burned ubuntu to agb flash drive with 2gb set aside for casper | 08:37 |
| karma_police | 4gb* | 08:37 |
| micw | hi | 08:38 |
| karma_police | keep getting system error saying i have no space left | 08:38 |
| nbkr | hoare, No, that doesn't matter. It's only important to put the resulting file in the appropriate folder i.e. /boot. Afterwards you have to reconfigure grub2 to use the new file. Have look here to see how grub2 can be configured. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 08:38 |
| micw | i run an ubuntu lucid under xen ad domU. the kernel boots and displays all messages. the initrd loads and displays messages as well. the last lines i see are Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ... | 08:38 |
| micw | Done. | 08:38 |
| karma_police | using 2gb for persistence and 2 gb for install.. should i have used 3gb for install and 1 gb for perststence on a 4gb usb? | 08:39 |
| micw | alle output after this is not shown in the xen console | 08:39 |
| abhi_nav | karma_police, to burn ubuntu it need approximately <= 1gb space. | 08:39 |
| micw | althought it seems to boot fine | 08:39 |
| micw | sometimes i can see output from fsck | 08:39 |
| micw | and i can see the init-output when shuting down | 08:39 |
| karma_police | i don't know why i am having space probs then... i have it split in half.. 2gb for install and 2 gb for casper rw | 08:39 |
| micw | seems that from when init is started all output is redirected somewhere | 08:40 |
| karma_police | i ran the update tho.. maybe thats where my prob is | 08:40 |
| hoare_ | nbkr: does it matter in which folder I exec mkinitramfs? | 08:40 |
| bullgard4 | [GNOME] I have an chocolate-brown login display image in Ubuntu 10.04. How can I determine its filename? | 08:40 |

| karma_police | what is more important when creating a usb live? the persistence space or the other? | 08:41 |

| Jordan_U | franklin: One not listed by ubottu since it's relatively newly available for linux is google chrome / chromium. | 08:49 |
| bazhang | chromium-browser is in the repos kim0 franklin | 08:49 |

| OuterSpace | ahhh yes | 08:53 |
| indus | does anyone know the difference bettween chrome and chromium | 08:53 |

| bazhang | OuterSpace, /msg alis list *phlax* to see if they have a channel | 08:53 |

| OuterSpace | im new to irc sorry | 08:53 |
| bazhang | grayhatgeek, the reverse | 08:53 |
| Jordan_U | bazhang: Not that either. | 08:54 |
| grayhatgeek | http://www.chromium.org/ | 08:54 |
| grayhatgeek | http://www.google.com/chrome | 08:54 |
| grayhatgeek | http://www.chromium.org/ ==> OS | 08:54 |
| grayhatgeek | http://www.google.com/chrome ==> browser | 08:54 |
| Jordan_U | bazhang: grayhatgeek: indus: chromium is the open source project behind the proprietary google chrome. | 08:54 |
| bazhang | Jordan_U, there is certainly a Chrome OS | 08:54 |
| grayhatgeek | then no diff :D | 08:55 |
| Anarchy7 | they dont have linux | 08:55 |
| Anarchy7 | http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/HowtoidentifythemodelofanATIgraphicscard.aspx | 08:55 |
| Jordan_U | bazhang: Yes, but the question was asking about the difference between chrome and chromium. | 08:55 |
| indus | Jordan_U, so what would be the difference between the 2 browsers | 08:55 |
| deusr | anyone know tell me if the driver sis 671/771 is engaged the effects of kubuntu? | 08:55 |
| indus | Jordan_U, other that nthe open source part | 08:55 |
| bazhang | deusr, try #kubuntu | 08:55 |
| grayhatgeek | <deusr> : try live CD first | 08:55 |
| Jordan_U | indus: Practically, the only noticeable difference is lack of h.264 support in chromium. | 08:56 |
| indus | Jordan_U, hmm | 08:56 |
| deusr | ok | 08:56 |
| Jordan_U | indus: Which with webm is now much less important than it used to be. | 08:56 |
| indus | ok | 08:56 |
| indus | hearing a lot about webm | 08:56 |
| grayhatgeek | Chromium is the open source project. | 08:57 |
| grayhatgeek | Google Chrome is the brand version based on it. Google adds some things of their own. | 08:57 |
| grayhatgeek | However both use the same rendering and JavaScript engines, so developing sites for one is likely going to work for all of them. | 08:57 |
| grayhatgeek | However, extensions are kind of a different story, as those are still being added to and reworked slightly (I think) and stuff. | 08:57 |

| MaRk-I | mikubuntu: at the end of the file add this: options snd-hda-intel model=acer | 09:29 |
| bazhang | iksik, rsync is for data, not to synchronize installs | 09:29 |
| MaRk-I | save it close and reboot.... hope that works :D | 09:29 |

| iksik | bazhang, erm, why should i need to synchronize installs? i just need to synchronize new packages ( with updates ) from ubuntu repo, and install them on lan from local repo - one download (sync) 8 installs | 09:30 |
| MaRk-I | mikubuntu: try rebooting see if it works | 09:30 |
| iksik | pretty simple - i think | 09:30 |
| Anarchy7 | funkyweasel, how can I find the latest ati driver for 10.04 ? | 09:30 |

| bazhang | krey, not sure about the 9600 but for the 9500 (my own) I am using nvidia current from hardware drivers | 09:36 |
| Anarchy7 | LoL cool | 09:36 |
| krey | bazhang: I see, but why won't jockey see my card if lspci does, and I'm full of modaliases now? | 09:37 |
| opij | are gforce graphics cards always compatible with ubuntu? | 09:37 |
| mikubuntu | MaRk-I: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IqvxA7xaUI&feature=PlayList&p=173A9874C6614692&playnext_from=PL&playnext=1&index=21 sounds good to me now | 09:38 |
| funkyweasel | Ah that's what I came for. | 09:38 |
| mikubuntu | MaRk-I: :) | 09:38 |
| funkyweasel | How do I move the notication bubble on lucid? | 09:38 |
| MaRk-I | mikubuntu: what's that link? | 09:38 |
| mikubuntu | song i'm *listening* to | 09:38 |
| funkyweasel | I work off a laptop and use a secondary monitor as my main and would like notification bubbles to appear there as well or instead. | 09:38 |
| Alazair | hey anyone know the odds of recoverying 6 files from when my drive was ntfs | 09:38 |
| mikubuntu | thx | 09:38 |
| Alazair | i just recently formatted it to ext4 | 09:38 |
| MaRk-I | lol well hmm did it work? | 09:39 |
| opij | are gforce graphics cards always compatible with ubuntu? | 09:39 |
| Anarchy7 | funkyweasel when I went to driver manager it said no proprietary drivers are in use ... | 09:39 |
| mikubuntu | MaRk-I: oh, yeah, that's what i meant | 09:39 |
| krey | bazhang: last time I enabled nvidia-current, terrible things happened, I couldn't even boot my way to the tty (black screen) | 09:39 |
| funkyweasel | Anarchy7: Sounds like you need to go install em | 09:39 |
| MaRk-I | mikubuntu: cool that'll be $50 | 09:39 |
| mikubuntu | MaRk-I: i installed 1004 on my friend's desktop that her daughter gave her | 09:39 |
| MaRk-I | mikubuntu: j/k for future reference keep this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto | 09:40 |
| Anarchy7 | funkyweasel, yes and when I go to ati site I put in my gfx card but no download comes ... | 09:40 |
| bazhang | krey, this is for a single card? I don't see any bugs for a single card but only for trying with dual cards (and that card) | 09:40 |
| funkyweasel | Anarchy7: Try the repo drivers. Fire up Synaptic and search for ati, see what you find. | 09:40 |
| Anarchy7 | ok | 09:41 |
| krey | krey: yep, single card. I really don't want to reinstall my system :( | 09:41 |
| nawk | hi, how can I adjust the screen brightness on my netbook (lucid for netbook)? | 09:41 |
| deltree_ | i have an acer aspire one netbook and ubuntu 10.04. I need to capture video with my webcam but cheese doesnt record video for me. any ideas what app i can download to capture video? | 09:41 |
| mikubuntu | MaRk-I: but, apparently the kids jammed a headphone jack in the plug and it broke off in there .. thats in the jack in the front, but theres also jacks in the back, but can't get them to work because (i think) that the computer thinks the front jack is in use. you think? | 09:41 |
| bazhang | nawk, usually with the fn keys | 09:41 |
| MaRk-I | nawk: press FN+dimm/bright buttons? | 09:42 |
| nawk | bazhang, MaRk-I they're aren't working in Lucid | 09:42 |
| bazhang | nawk, which netbook | 09:42 |
| MaRk-I | mikubuntu: most likely yes, should get some needle nose pliers and see if you can get it out | 09:42 |
| red__ | Hi I am running 10.4 and want to get my my machine to boot up fast how do I do this? | 09:42 |
| Anarchy7 | funkyweasel, I have them installed xorg | 09:42 |
| s3r3n1t7 | nawk, check the power management settings. | 09:42 |
| nawk | samsung n120 | 09:43 |
| nawk | s3r3n1t7, I'll check it out | 09:43 |
| mikubuntu | MaRk-I: too tiny, couldn't get anything in there .. i was wondering if there was a commandline to disable the front jacks possibly | 09:43 |
| MaRk-I | mikubuntu: hmm no idea | 09:44 |
| mikubuntu | MaRk-I: oh, well, thanks for helping me with my laptop | 09:44 |
| MaRk-I | mikubuntu: at least u have sound now ;^) | 09:44 |
| MaRk-I | yw | 09:44 |
| mikubuntu | MaRk-I: yup haha | 09:44 |
| funkyweasel | Anarchy7: Hang on, do you need these drivers? | 09:45 |
| mikubuntu | ok, i go walk the dawg nite guys | 09:45 |
| funkyweasel | Anarchy7: Or rather - can you can the resolution and refresh rate you need? | 09:45 |
| deltree_ | any ubuntu netbook users here? | 09:45 |
| MaRk-I | gn | 09:45 |
| Anarchy7 | funkyweasel, my computer is fine with colors etc., but movies are freezing if I install the graph card it will be better I think | 09:45 |
| funkyweasel | Anarchy7: Youtube, divx, or other movies? | 09:46 |
| nawk | bazhang, MaRk-I, s3r3n1t7: Usually, the shortkeys for adjusting the brightness are: fn + <uparrow>/<downarrow> | 09:46 |
| nawk | its not working in lucid for netbooks | 09:46 |
| bazhang | nawk, odd; works fine here on my first gen eeepc | 09:47 |
| s3r3n1t7 | nawk, I know that is what you said. I have no netbook myself so I cannot check that. However, my laptop also has some funny quirks. I have to adjust my brightness level in the power management settings otherwise it will flip back in a matter of minutes | 09:47 |

| bazhang | opij, should work then | 09:48 |
| opij | where's the compatibility list? | 09:48 |
| bazhang | opij, what is the card | 09:49 |
| nawk | s3r3n1t7, I can't find that option in "Power Management Preferences" | 09:49 |
| opij | bazhang: i dont know yet | 09:49 |
| MaRk-I | nawk: system/preferences/power management | 09:49 |
| s3r3n1t7 | nawk, then i think that is the reason your keys don't work. Apparently the power management features don't detect your system as a netbook but as a desktop | 09:49 |

| s3r3n1t7 | nawk, The only thing is that you cannot try this now. It requires a reboot for the changes to take effect | 10:02 |

| s3r3n1t7 | nawk, in fact, for this i did a google for "ubuntu brightness keys don't work", which led me to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks and when you scroll down to the N1xx machines there's a bug report link in there. | 10:05 |

| astroboy | Is there a way I can remove the build dependencies of a package I installed from source and now I removed? | 10:23 |
| JediMaster | hey guys, I've got an odd issue (running lucid on kubuntu, but I think the issue isn't K related), just now I had to reboot 5 times before I could get into X(org), plymouth came up, even did a disk check on one boot and then the progress bar stops and nothing happens. I can't Ctrl-alt-F1 etc. however ctrl-alt-del then starts the reboot process and plymouth starts moving again | 10:23 |
| JediMaster | It's been happening for quite some time now, but normally only 1 in 3 times, but just now literally 5 boots before X came up | 10:23 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, that sounds rather tricky. Are you sure the disk isn't corrupt? | 10:24 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, yeah, the disk check was the first time it's happened in months | 10:25 |
| nawk | !UNR | 10:25 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu Netbook Remix is a slightly altered version of Ubuntu, optimised for small screens. For more information, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR - support in #ubuntu | 10:25 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, no issues with the disk I know of, nothing in syslog to suggest it | 10:25 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, in months? From what I've seen happening there are so many reboots before an automatic check is done. I would suggest letting it run (it can take up to half an hour or so) and check for the result. And yes, it may appear to be doing nothing. | 10:25 |
| JediMaster | it appears that Xorg.log also doesn't get made, so looks like it's straight before X is supposed to load that it's getting stuck | 10:26 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, it completed the disk check | 10:26 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, then froze, that was just one of the 5 boots that froze before I had to hit ctrl-alt-del | 10:26 |
| JediMaster | it wasn't doing a disk check at the time it froze | 10:27 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, it did? Hmm .... Does the freeze happen before or after reboot? And can you ssh your way in? (unless you have no other pc to check with) | 10:27 |
| JediMaster | I power on the machine, it looks like it's about to get from plymouth into X and freezes indefinately until I hit ctrl-alt-del | 10:27 |
| JediMaster | ctrl-alt-f1-f12 do nothing | 10:27 |
| JediMaster | however, I have managed to get ctrl-alt-f1 in before it happens and there's been a few messages, one sec got a photo =) | 10:28 |
| rocket16 | Midori browser doesn't get flash working. Any solution? | 10:28 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, I've noticed those have indeed been disabled in the default X configuration. There's a setting you can add which will enable them again | 10:28 |
| JediMaster | last thing on the screen is: "mountall: Disconnected from Plymouth" | 10:28 |
| JediMaster | then it also freezes in the first terminal until I hit ctrl-alt-del | 10:28 |
| JediMaster | then the login prompt appears and reboots | 10:29 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, I've not tried to ssh in yet at the time it happens but it's possible | 10:30 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, anything in particular to look for? | 10:30 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, if it happens again pleas try that and pastebin what dmesg says. | 10:30 |
| arkhe | This might be weird to ask here, but I'm looking for an art program that will work on Ubuntu. The main thing is that I need pressure sensitivity, when drawing with a tablet. Anyone have any suggestions? | 10:30 |
| JediMaster | kk | 10:30 |
| JediMaster | I'll try rebooting now | 10:30 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, I'm reading a bug report which says there's a bug in mountall in combination with fsck. It's leading me to believe there's indeed an fsck going on | 10:30 |
| rocket16 | Midori problem, can't use Flash plugin. Any help? | 10:30 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, it completed just now without an issue (got to 100%) | 10:31 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, and every other time it's not mentioned doing a disk check | 10:31 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, it's not the fsck itself, it's the combination of plymouth (whatever that is) and mountall, while doing an fsck | 10:31 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, plymouth is the program that display the new boot logo | 10:32 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, Ah that explains their solution. Remove splash and quiet from grub | 10:32 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/571707 | 10:32 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, also prepares the screen resolution as best it can to match the X screen res so you don't have to change res | 10:32 |
| josh__ | hi | 10:32 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, we learn something new everyday. Can you try the splash and quiet removal proposal as done in the bugreport? | 10:33 |
| appill | haha | 10:33 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, pretty sure it's not that bug though, as I said, it's not that it gets stuck on 99%, it doesn't run the disk check most of the time at all | 10:33 |
| josh__ | is there any way to use sudo in cron(tab)? | 10:34 |
| josh__ | or write a file as root | 10:34 |
| oCean_ | josh__: various crons exist for users, also for root. Any script from root cron will be run as root user | 10:34 |
| === ubuntu is now known as TravisM | ||
| josh__ | how do i access root cron? | 10:35 |
| nawk | s3r3n1t7, are the "splash" "quiet" options explained in a grub manpage or menu.lst? I've always wondered what they do. | 10:35 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, However, the problem does seem to be very related to plymouth, would you agree? | 10:35 |
| oCean_ | josh__: sudo crontab -e (will start with warning like no crontab for root, creating one) | 10:35 |
| josh__ | thanks | 10:35 |
| TravisM | Hi, I am trying to install Ubuntu -- and this time I want to dual boot (I have been Ubuntu only for the past 3+ years), however, I just got a new computer and since I dont HATE Windows 7 (just dislike it), I think I would like to keep it | 10:36 |
| s3r3n1t7 | nawk, removing splash removes the logo and you will see some information. Removing quiet will also show any other output messages. Removing these 2 shows a lot of information going on while booting. | 10:36 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, well plymouth is running when the machine boots and it's happening as the machine boots, doesn't confirm it's an issue with it | 10:36 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, doesn't exclude it either | 10:36 |
| soreau | TravisM: So install 7 and ubuntu. done. | 10:36 |
| TravisM | All the dual boot guides are long, and complicated looking... can I just use the installer click "manual" and then shrink the huge partition down to half size and then create the 2 partions I need for Ubuntu? | 10:36 |
| atrkl_ | where can I configure mysql to listen in my private ip instead of 127.0.0.1 | 10:37 |
| soreau | TravisM: Yes, you can | 10:37 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, So i want to exclude it from being an issue by asking you to boot without the splash and quiet. Would it harm to try? And if it doesn't solve it, we'll at least have excluded this possibility. | 10:37 |
| TravisM | soreau: thanks | 10:37 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, yeah have changed the grub.cfg (feels odd somehow not being menu.lst anymore) | 10:37 |
| JediMaster | added a different boot option without splash and quiet | 10:37 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, you can do a less permanent solution by doing it at boot time | 10:37 |
| josh__ | if i run a command in sudo cron, do I have to specify sudo in the command or is it assumed? | 10:38 |
| s3r3n1t7 | josh__, the cron tab you are editing will be the user who will be running the command. thus, editing the root's crontab runs the command as root | 10:38 |
| oCean_ | josh__: a cron for root will be created, running all commands as root | 10:38 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, as you can see I'm booted in at the moment (on the machine in question), so I'll try powering it off and rebooting | 10:38 |
| josh__ | thanks | 10:38 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, I will be here. Let me know how it turns out. | 10:38 |

| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, guess what, it's frozen on shutting down rofl | 10:41 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, can you ssh in atm? (the dmesg would be interesting ... i hope) | 10:42 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, well not frozen, just not shutting down | 10:42 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, I can switch to the first terminal and it says: Checking for running unattended-upgrades: * Asking all remaining processes to terminate ..... [OK] | 10:42 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, and the last few messages from dmesg? | 10:43 |
| JediMaster | then: * All processes ended within 1 seconds.... (great grammar!) | 10:43 |
| JediMaster | I doubt ssh is running still, but I'll try | 10:43 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, even better, pastebin the last 30 messages from dmesg if you wouldn't mind | 10:43 |
| atrkl_ | oCean_: can I use comas, I mean bind-address = 127.0.0.1, 192.168.1.2 | 10:43 |

| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, heh, I can ssh in =) | 10:45 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, the last bunch of messages if you wouldn't mind on pastebin | 10:46 |

| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, are you using cryptfs? | 10:52 |
| _Jacob1987_ | thanks. | 10:52 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, ecryptfs? yes | 10:52 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, then I think it is quite related to your disc. check http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2008-08/msg05324.html | 10:52 |

| toolbear | hi. i'm trying to create a simple chroot environment. i put a statically-linked copy of dash in there, and bind-mounted the /dev directory. i can chroot into the environment just fine, but i can't execute any other programs (despite the fact that PATH is set and contains the appropriate directories). can anybody provide some insight? | 10:53 |
| MaRk-I | I didnt flood anyways keep going | 10:54 |
| JediMaster | that's a boot, and it's now shutting down that's the problem anyhow | 10:54 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, well ecryptfs takes a lot more read/writes, thus causes somewhat a delay. If the delay is long enough eventually that the kernel thinks its blocked it's goin to cause an issue. | 10:55 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, I can see two defunct processes: [python] <defunct>, both running as my own user rather than root | 10:55 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, which are probably caused by the errors in your dmesg. Can you kill the parent processes? | 10:57 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, I think I shouldn't be killing PPID 1 =D | 10:57 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, oh ... no ... that'd be bad | 10:58 |
| JediMaster | as one has a PPID of 1, that doesn't seem right for a python script | 10:58 |
| JediMaster | anyhow, the second one has the PPID of the first one | 10:58 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, if it's called from init, then no that happens | 10:58 |
| JediMaster | so killing them both | 10:58 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, kill the first one? | 10:58 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, yeah but it's run as my user | 10:59 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, not as root | 10:59 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, a straight kill doesn't work, trying a -9 | 10:59 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, likewise, -9 doesn't kill it | 10:59 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, it's probably somehow/what corrupted | 10:59 |
| JediMaster | hmmf, how do you terminate a process that can't be -9'ed? | 11:00 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, it's not a real process, but it is blocking your shutdown. Real as in, alive | 11:00 |

| borgfish | thx | 11:01 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, i'm tempted to say do a hard reboot, reinstall python and the likes, then another reboot and see how it turns out | 11:02 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, looks like it's going that way, I'll try and unmount everything first | 11:04 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, that would be smart, and sync / | 11:04 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, hmmf, can't umount the nfs shares =/ | 11:05 |
| MaRk-I | sysrq+reisub | 11:05 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, I think it's stuck in the middle of unmounting: /bin/sh /etc/rc6.d/S31umountnfs.sh stop | 11:05 |
| JediMaster | is running | 11:05 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, oh boy, that's quite a situation then eh =\ force umount? | 11:06 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, -o force? | 11:06 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, -f (man umount) | 11:07 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, and if that doens't work, -l | 11:07 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, neither work | 11:07 |
| === King is now known as Guest48133 | ||
| JediMaster | now I have a tonne of dead unmount processes | 11:08 |

| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, it just sits there | 11:08 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, somehow i think there's more then "just" the reboots that you have to do during bootup. It starts to sound like something is rather wrong with your box. | 11:09 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, I presume you mean network cable rather than SATA? =D | 11:09 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, well yes ... | 11:10 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, i presume you have common sense and don't jump of a building if i told you it'd fix your box? | 11:10 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, nah | 11:12 |
| JediMaster | far too little sense | 11:13 |
| JediMaster | =P | 11:13 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, in that case i will mind my words ... _very_ carefully | 11:13 |
| trojan_spike | well , how do i find out which OS i have?? i.e, jaunty , karmic etc? | 11:13 |
| s3r3n1t7 | trojan_spike, lsb_release -a | 11:13 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, haha, just kidding, have been using linux for 15 odd years on and off | 11:13 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, but you are right, I should have been more clear on what cable to unplug. | 11:14 |
| trojan_spike | ty | 11:14 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, but I am stupid enough to start typing into ssh with the network cable unplugged =D | 11:14 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, it's a hot day today here, brain is fried lol | 11:14 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, you sir, have made my day. | 11:14 |
| * s3r3n1t7 throws a bucket of cold water over JediMaster's head | 11:15 | |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, any luck yet? | 11:15 |
| JediMaster | nope | 11:15 |
| JediMaster | still can't unmount, have to ctrl-c them | 11:15 |
| JediMaster | it's all foobared | 11:15 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, sync root and force reboot? | 11:16 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, just noticed too, unmount -f -l /nfspath1 /nfspath2 is stuck there straight after the unmount process that it stuck | 11:16 |
| JediMaster | so looks like it's nfs stopping it all from rebooting | 11:17 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, kill nfs? | 11:17 |
| wizard_ | #xbmc | 11:17 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, there's no processing running for nfs is there? | 11:18 |
| JediMaster | er yeah there is [nfsoid], guess that's the one? | 11:18 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, in all honesty, i would not know as I don't use NFS. | 11:18 |

| knoppies | lg188, nor do I. I would personally try a fresh install. It sounds to me like something went wrong in your install (If you just installed it, as you imply). But other than that I have no idea. | 11:25 |

| arash | Ç?ÑÇæ? æ?ÓÊ | 11:26 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, see MaRk-I's tip above. And do an fsck | 11:26 |
| JediMaster | MaRk-I, what does that do? | 11:26 |
| ddvlad | does anyone else experience pidgin constantly hogging up 15-20% of the proc while doing nothing? this usually happens after it's been open a day or so | 11:26 |
| MaRk-I | shuts down gracefully :P | 11:26 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, syncs the FS thus allowing a safer reboot | 11:26 |
| MaRk-I | JediMaster: http://kember.net/articles/reisub-the-gentle-linux-restart/ | 11:27 |
| JediMaster | never actually used sysreq, is it ctrl or alt then pritscreen? | 11:28 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, print screen often functions as sysrq (at least it does for me) | 11:28 |
| MaRk-I | here is FN+del | 11:29 |

| zhengzhilongcn | ??? | 11:30 |
| JediMaster | MaRk-I, do you have to hold sysreq down? | 11:30 |
| nucc1 | JediMaster, sysrq on my keyboard, requires the "fn" key to be pressed | 11:30 |
| knoppies | lg188, did you use the liveCD? or an alternate install disk? (I kinda remember you saying liveCD) | 11:30 |
| JediMaster | yeah don't have an FN key, it's a uk layout keyboard | 11:30 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, check the print screen button | 11:31 |
| MaRk-I | JediMaster: yes sir both keys and just press r e s u b | 11:31 |
| s3r3n1t7 | MaRk-I, misspelled, you're missing the i | 11:31 |
| MaRk-I | r e i s u b sorry missed the I | 11:31 |
| JediMaster | yeah, still not doing anything | 11:32 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, done all the keys? | 11:32 |
| MaRk-I | let it kill the process better than a dirty hard shutdown | 11:32 |
| lg188 | knoppies: yup i used livecd but inside windows, i didn't want to risk losing my windows, i still want to be able to play games | 11:32 |
| s3r3n1t7 | MaRk-I, it's trying that (and thus far, failing) | 11:32 |
| JediMaster | let me get this right, so I hit printscreen/sysreq then let go and r e i s u b | 11:32 |
| lg188 | knoppies: next time i'm keeping an eye on the install | 11:32 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, also, alt | 11:33 |
| JediMaster | don't need to hold sysreq down? | 11:33 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, yes, hold them down | 11:33 |
| s3r3n1t7 | hold down alt + printscreen, do not let go | 11:33 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, kk, pretty sure I trie it | 11:33 |
| s3r3n1t7 | then press the keys 1 at a time with 5 second interval | 11:33 |
| knoppies | lg188, I understand. I would recommend using separate HDDs or partitions. I use old 10-80Gig HDDs for my linux installs. (except on my laptop where they are separate partitions) Keeping an eye on the install sounds like a good idea. | 11:34 |
| trojan_spike | i need a good fan control for mu asus MB,, have water cooling with fan going none stop | 11:34 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, alt-gr and printscreen worked =) | 11:34 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, good to hear. Its rebooting? | 11:34 |
| lg188 | knoppies: also a notebook, i cant plug some extre hardrives in you know | 11:34 |
| knoppies | lg188, yea. I almost used an external HDD | 11:35 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, yes, rebooted, let it boot as normal with splash, no issues and no fsck or hang | 11:35 |
| knoppies | lg188, I hope your install goes well. If you need a hand dont hesitate to ask. | 11:35 |
| JediMaster | going to force a disk check and reboot | 11:35 |

| lg188 | knoppies: lol uhm should i remove it back trough windows and then reboot and use the live cd installer ? | 11:36 |
| knoppies | lg188, Im not sure. I have never tried a wubi install. I have always booted from the disk (or USB image) and installed it to its own partition. | 11:37 |
| Gryllida | help! | 11:37 |
| lg188 | krey: is your bios set right ? | 11:37 |
| knoppies | lg188, or used a VM with a virtual HDD but thats pretty much the same. | 11:37 |
| krey | lg188: i think so, I changed the boot sequence | 11:38 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, did a reboot after creating /forcefsck and no problems restarting this time | 11:38 |
| lg188 | krey: that's wierd, | 11:38 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, hmm ... check for the latest updates? | 11:38 |

| Gryllida | I save a file to a winows machine in the lan, the Windows machine user tries to open it and gets 'access denied' warning. Basically any file I save to that shared location is unopenable by that windows user, though I can open it. How can I fix? | 11:41 |
| knoppies | wizard_, (not that I can help you) what OS version are you running? (and while you are at it, the xbmc version as well) | 11:41 |
| krey | knoppies: I tried pendrive linux, but it died complaining that my flash drive isn't big enough (256 of 700 MB) even though the image is 14 MB | 11:42 |
| wizard_ | knoppies, running 10.04 - latest version | 11:42 |
| knoppies | Gryllida, the ownership/permissions of that file need editing. Not sure how to do it for a windows user. You might be able to find something useful on google. | 11:42 |
| Tricks | I've just realised that I've mad a boo boo with the size of my partitions is there any way of resizing them? | 11:42 |

| knoppies | Tricks, I know that the gparted gui seems to imply that you can resize partitions, but I have always steered clear because I am worried I will kill my data. There should be gparted on all ubuntu liveCDs | 11:44 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, rebooted fine 3 times in a row, so I powered it off, now it's stuck again, however, I'm sshed in | 11:44 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, and the fsck I forced went through fine with no problems | 11:44 |
| Gryllida | knoppies, urgh, when on network the file's permissions tab is not containing any info, 'this file permissions can not be determined' | 11:44 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, can you ssh in now it's stuck? | 11:44 |
| JediMaster | yes | 11:44 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, once again, the dmesg if you please | 11:44 |
| Gryllida | knoppies, I get that for info window for any file on that windows machine | 11:44 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, I can see /bin/bash /etc/gdm/failsafeXServer is running | 11:45 |

| Gryllida | knoppies, how can I try to fix/troubleshoot it? | 11:45 |
| Tricks | knoppies, yeah that's what I'm worries about... well to be fair it's a fresh install so it wouldn't be too bad it's a centos box though. I have gparted on a live cd so i'll have to do it that way | 11:45 |
| Gryllida | knoppies, when I save that file locally and email it, windows user is able to open it. | 11:46 |
| kudakz | guys, when i make my screen resolution higher than 1024x768 it doesnt stretch to my screen and i need to use the mouse to get to the corners, any idea how to make it stretch ?? | 11:46 |
| knoppies | Gryllida, I find it difficult to determine if you are looking at the file from windows or ubuntu, or if you created the file from windows/ubuntu. Im not actually sure how to fix cross platform permission problems. But my first step at troublshooting would be ubuntu forums and google. Not sure how to search for this kind of issue. | 11:46 |
| knoppies | Tricks, never used centos before. I would backup anything important/not replaceable. Good luck. | 11:47 |
| kudakz | can anyone help me please with the screen resolution, i spent a whole day on this so far | 11:48 |
| kudakz | i can choose higher resolutions but they wont stretch to my screen | 11:48 |
| Tricks | knoppies, will do mate. centos probs best operating system I've worked with yet. rock solid | 11:48 |
| masterkorp | hello | 11:48 |
| masterkorp | i have two monitors | 11:48 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, the thing is, there's probably a message in dmesg which tells you what went wrong when and how. once we isolate that we can fix it | 11:48 |
| Gryllida | knoppies: 1) I make the file in gEdit on Ubuntu 2.1) save it to local location and copy to the shared one OR save to the shared one directly - windows user gets 'access denied' 2.2) save it locally and email - windows user can open it successfully | 11:48 |
| masterkorp | how can i confifure the X to display fullscreen apps only on one monitor | 11:49 |
| masterkorp | ? | 11:49 |
| Gryllida | knoppies: I'm not sure how to google for it at all | 11:49 |
| Tricks | knoppies, just finished configuring DHCP, DNS and samba share and it's all working beautifully :) | 11:49 |
| Gryllida | MetaBot: ping | 11:49 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/461064/ | 11:49 |
| knoppies | Tricks, that was quick. I wish you could do mine as well. I can never get a windows machine to access my samba shares. Permission issues most of the time. Im glad to hear your problem is solved. | 11:50 |
| masterkorp | any idea ? | 11:50 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, nothing wrong whatsoever. You said you think it's related to xorg, can you check their log file? | 11:51 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, Xorg.0.log: xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call | 11:51 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, that's what's killing X | 11:51 |
| tux_ | hallo zusammen | 11:52 |
| Tricks | knoppies, yeah well the problem that took me 3 days to resolve was SELinux turn that bad boy off and windows xp could connect | 11:52 |
| kudakz | how come when i make resolution higher than 1024x768 it wont stick to screen boundries and make me use mouse to scroll to corners?? | 11:52 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, something like this? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=323501 | 11:52 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, btw that was a fatal server error | 11:52 |
| chrispin | Hello there | 11:53 |
| tux_ | leider ist ubuntuusers down, kann mir jmd schnell erläutern, wie ich grub wieder richtig installier. so dass auch win angezeigt wird? | 11:53 |
| masterkorp | i have two monitor, how can i set the fullscreen apps to display only on one monitor ? | 11:53 |
| Tricks | knoppies, need to find out why that is though but that ones for a later date | 11:53 |

| knoppies | thanks Tricks I will have a look into that. | 11:53 |
| Lama_Chok | @kudakz maybe you should change screen settings using monitor controls | 11:53 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, i suspected as much reading from this bug report | 11:53 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, seems identical to my issue | 11:53 |
| Tricks | knoppies, no worries mate | 11:53 |
| JediMaster | could be kdm related then? | 11:53 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, it _might_ be, yes ... at least, these guys use kdm | 11:54 |
| Gryllida | ... | 11:54 |
| Gryllida | ? | 11:54 |
| kudakz | Lama_Chok: my monitor doesnt have any options to change that | 11:54 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, well this is kubuntu, didn't think it'd be the K causing the issue, but I guess it is =/ | 11:54 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, it might, yes | 11:54 |
| masterkorp | i have two monitors, how can i set the full screen apps to display only on one monitor ? | 11:54 |
| Lama_Chok | @kudakz; i believe your monitor is not an LCD one | 11:55 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, reboot, hope and file a bug report? | 11:55 |
| kudakz | Lama_Chok: it is | 11:55 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, you can switch to gnome by installing ubuntu-desktop, which should default it to gnome automagically, or that | 11:55 |
| chrispin | I'm trying to configure object policy on ebox and I'm getting bad hour of the day value error. Could anyone out there be know the time format/value? | 11:55 |
| Lama_Chok | try to resize the screen settings using the buttons provided on the monitor | 11:56 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, apparently they think gdm is to bloated and slow compared to kdm to cause issues | 11:56 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, no, frankly I'd rather live with rebooting 5 times in the morning than switch back to gnome =D | 11:56 |
| kudakz | Lama_Chok: its not that it doesnt fit the screen, it goes beyond the boundries | 11:56 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, you know you can use kde from gdm right? | 11:56 |
| slow-motion | hi | 11:56 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, oh thought you meant run gnome, not gdm =D | 11:57 |
| masterkorp | i have two monitor, how can i set the fullscreen apps to display only on one monitor ? | 11:58 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, gnome and kde come after kdm/gdm. Reading back my wording was wrong. What i wanted to suggest was try out gdm instead of kdm | 11:58 |
| Lama_Chok | @kudakz; mostly this happens when correct display drivers are not installed | 11:58 |
| chrispin | Hi guys, anyone with ebox configuration experience? | 11:58 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, yeah that I can handle =) | 11:59 |
| zykes- | question, if one accidently rm's /dev | 12:00 |
| zykes- | smarted way to regenerate ? | 12:00 |
| s3r3n1t7 | zykes-, reboot | 12:00 |
| Gryllida | chrispin: ask straight away, we might have had the experience, or just google out it for you as well. | 12:00 |
| masterkorp | i have two monitor, how can i set the fullscreen apps to display only on one monitor ? | 12:00 |
| zykes- | s3r3n1t7: thing is that /boot | 12:00 |
| zykes- | is missing... | 12:00 |
| s3r3n1t7 | zykes-, so you didn't just rm /dev? | 12:01 |
| === Guest89249 is now known as robertf | ||
| zykes- | correct.. | 12:01 |
| Lama_Chok | @mastercorp : use different work space | 12:01 |
| s3r3n1t7 | zykes-, yikes ... | 12:01 |
| zykes- | no kidding | 12:01 |
| s3r3n1t7 | zykes-, rough thought and solution ... built a vm with vm-builder, copy that boot and pray that it works | 12:02 |
| masterkorp | i have two monitor, how can i set the fullscreen apps to display only on one monitor ? | 12:02 |
| s3r3n1t7 | masterkorp, in the settings for your display set it to use seperate X sessions. | 12:03 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, first boot into gdm has gone fine, I guess it's a kdm issue | 12:03 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, mind checking half a dozen times to be sure? | 12:03 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, obviously nothing to do with the nfs issue earlier though | 12:04 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, which surprises me (but is obviously a good thing) | 12:04 |
| masterkorp | s3r3n1t7, but then i have two sessions, i can move windows form one monitor to another | 12:04 |
| chrispin | Gryllida, I'm getting Bad hour of the day value error when trying to configure http object policy. could you be knowing the right/correct value/time format? | 12:05 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, err, weird, I can't shutdown from KDE now, can only log out to GDM | 12:05 |
| s3r3n1t7 | masterkorp, it's a difficult situation (and quite different from windows) ... | 12:05 |
| masterkorp | yes, ai have searcher a lot | 12:06 |
| masterkorp | a no "clean" solution | 12:06 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, ..... ARGGHHH | 12:06 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, stuck shutting down again, | 12:06 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, ... | 12:06 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, /bin/sh /etc/rc0.d/S31umountnfs.sh stop is running and unmount -l -f again | 12:06 |
| JediMaster | looks like two bug reports to fill in | 12:07 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, do you happen to have a log somewhere? And yes, good idea | 12:07 |
| Gryllida | chrispin: possibly try #ebox | 12:07 |
| symtab_ | hello | 12:08 |
| symtab_ | how can i change the boot order in ubuntu 10.4 (i want to boot windows xp by default) | 12:08 |
| symtab_ | i used to know how to do this with old grub | 12:08 |
| symtab_ | but now i have no idea | 12:08 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, yeah keeping track of the errors: [ 360.850030] INFO: task pulseaudio:2183 blocked for more than 120 seconds. | 12:09 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, same blocked errors | 12:09 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, somehow i'm still thinking this is related to your ecryptfs setup | 12:10 |
| coz_ | symtab_, not sure off hand but how about this http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub-2.html | 12:10 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, how does that stop nfs unmounting though? | 12:10 |
| coz_ | symtab_, or here http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3107328.0 | 12:10 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, not specifically about nfs, but about the blocked processes | 12:10 |
| JediMaster | any way to remove the encrypted fs from the home dir? | 12:11 |
| JediMaster | while keeping the files! | 12:11 |
| MaRk-I | Gryllida: are you sharing that folder with samba? | 12:11 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, create a new partition, copy all files over, mount over your old home dir? | 12:11 |
| coz_ | symtab_, if those done help you can go to the #grub channel :) | 12:12 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, /home is mounted on the root partition (just one partition + swap) | 12:12 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, not really mounted, it's in the root partition | 12:12 |
| Tahakki | Hey guys, does anyone know which channel I should join to ask for testers for an application? | 12:12 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, the only way to "remove" ecryptfs from it is to copy it to a new fs on a seperate partition | 12:13 |
| coz_ | Tahakki, which appliation? | 12:13 |
| coz_ | application | 12:13 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, why a seperate fs? | 12:13 |
| coz_ | Tahakki, you could try ##linux...or if you want it tested on ubuntu either post it on theforum or go to #ubuntu-offtopic? | 12:13 |
| Tahakki | It's one I wrote in Python. | 12:13 |
| coz_ | Tahakki, ah ok | 12:13 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, because you want your home dir to have another FS then what you currently have, that is what you asked wasn't it? | 12:14 |
| coz_ | Tahakki, mm well can you post it on the forum? | 12:14 |
| Tahakki | Is there a forum in Ubuntu for announcing your own projects? | 12:14 |
| coz_ | Tahakki, mm let me check | 12:14 |

| Gordon_Gekko | Can I install KDE applications on my Gnome desktop? Is it going to change anything on my system? I want to replace rythmbox with amarok | 12:23 |
| alexi5 | do you guys know of anty player than can play shoutcast streams ? | 12:23 |

| Tahakki | @coz What distro do you use? | 12:23 |
| Gordon_Gekko | jrib, is it going to effect my system? | 12:23 |
| SalahGo | My question is: how can i turn the 2nd .exe file into a dll lib so it can be launched with Wine with the 1st .exe file | 12:23 |
| coz_ | Tahakki, I use karmic at the moent I wont use lucid 4 bugs still not fixed :) | 12:23 |
| jrib | Gordon_Gekko: well only in the sense that you'll have amarok installed | 12:24 |
| Tahakki | @coz Actually, the .deb should work on any version of ubuntu. | 12:24 |
| Tahakki | Preferably Karmic or above though. | 12:24 |
| coz_ | Tahakki, unresolvable dependencies but I will attempt the tar.gz first | 12:24 |
| Tahakki | Which dependencies? | 12:24 |
| coz_ | Tahakki, hold on | 12:25 |
| SalahGo | well, another question: any room for WineHQ? :p | 12:25 |
| coz_ | Tahakki, Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: python-gst0.10 (>= 0.10.18-1) | 12:25 |

| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, hmm? | 12:26 |
| coz_ | Tahakki, right no big deal :) | 12:26 |
| Tahakki | Can you try the .tar.gz and tell me which version of python-gstreamer you use? | 12:26 |

| coz_ | Tahakki, hold on | 12:26 |

| Dr_Willis | I have to wonder what ever happened to that 'bullet proof X' thing we had a few releases back. :) | 12:28 |
| Vasql | Mark yes i fix grub and splsh of grub got away but still can't logging in text mode just after grub starts i have black screen | 12:29 |
| Dr_Willis | seems that was designed to 'fix' a lot of the driver breakage of X issues ive been seeing the last few weeks | 12:29 |
| MaRk-I | alexi5: rhythmbox is already installed by default (I think) I meant the radio stations | 12:29 |
| jrib | Tuna-Fish2: how do you know it's single user mode? | 12:29 |
| Vasql | I remove from grub "quiet splash" | 12:29 |
| Tuna-Fish2 | jrib: no sudo | 12:29 |
| Dr_Willis | Vasql: theres also a 'text' mode you can use instead of quite/splash. change 'quiet splash' to be 'text' | 12:29 |
| jrib | Tuna-Fish2: what do you mean by "no sudo"? | 12:29 |
| alexi5 | maRk-I: installing the radio stations . No | 12:29 |
| coz_ | Tahakki, although now I cannot fullscreen the application and there is no maximize button | 12:30 |
| Tahakki | @coz That is deliberate | 12:30 |
| coz_ | Tahakki, ok | 12:30 |
| Tahakki | Does webcam and video compile work okay? | 12:30 |

| alexi5 | maRk-I: ok thanks | 12:30 |
| coz_ | Tahakki, the webcam works fine I havent tried the video compile yet | 12:30 |
| Vasql | I shuld put "quiet text" or just "text"? | 12:30 |
| coz_ | Tahakki, let me test it with a few photos hold on | 12:31 |
| MaRk-I | Vasql: did you do "sudo update-grub"? | 12:31 |
| Tuna-Fish2 | jrib: sudo wasn't recognized as a command. It appears that it is not actually in single user mode -- it is in initrd shell! the disk apparently broke | 12:31 |
| Vasql | Mark yes | 12:31 |
| Dr_Willis | Vasql: just text | 12:31 |
| Vasql | ok i try again ty | 12:32 |
| coz_ | Tahakki, no film created let me see if it sent it to home directory | 12:32 |
| Dr_Willis | Vasql: the 'text' option is sort of a 'failsafe' option - in case you are hacing some other issues. | 12:32 |
| coz_ | Tahakki, nope | 12:32 |
| Tahakki | @coz You have to type the path of the film | 12:32 |
| coz_ | Tahakki, I did that | 12:32 |

| Tahakki | it looks like it needs the latest python-gstreamer | 12:34 |
| piero | what command to use to install vlc | 12:34 |
| Tahakki | or the latest gstreamer | 12:34 |
| bazhang | piero, I just told you | 12:35 |
| piero | i used sudo apt-get install vlc but not working | 12:35 |
| io | piero: In Terminal (Applications menu -> Accessories -> Terminal) enter "sudo apt-get install vlc". | 12:35 |
| bazhang | piero, what version of ubuntu? check that the correct repos are enabled in software sources | 12:35 |
| piero | 10.4 | 12:35 |
| bazhang | piero, system administration software sources | 12:36 |
| piero | how do i check that | 12:36 |
| bazhang | piero, look at the menu I just gave | 12:36 |
| Vasql | after i remove "quite splash" and put only "text" then i do "update-grub" then "quite splash came back again into grub.cfg" | 12:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Vasql: i use the 'text' option from the GRUB menu. i dont normally set it as the default | 12:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Vasql: you are ediing grub.cfg by hand? you dont normally do that | 12:37 |
| piero | thank you | 12:37 |
| Vasql | Dr_Willis, how can I do it? | 12:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Vasql: what are you wanting to do exactly? the Grub2 docs state to NOT edit grub.cfg by hand. edit the proper /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/XXX files | 12:38 |
| Dr_Willis | !grub2 | 12:38 |

| abstrusenick | can we make ubuntu render font like mac? | 12:45 |
| io | s3r3n1t7: I don't need to know how to do it, I obviously already know that. :-) | 12:45 |
| Dr_Willis | You got to do 'cd' then drag/drop and it adds the name here. oh wait that may be a terminator speciic feature | 12:45 |
| coz_ | abstrusenick, how does mac render font? | 12:45 |
| s3r3n1t7 | io, obviously ... but you assumed it works by default, whereas the link shows you it does not. | 12:45 |
| abstrusenick | with subpixel aliasing | 12:45 |
| zus | io, cool, how do i do that again? | 12:45 |
| abstrusenick | its alot smootehr | 12:46 |
| coz_ | abstrusenick, /sytem/preferences/ appearnce Fonts tab Subpixel smoothing | 12:46 |
| Dr_Willis | type cd, then drag/drop, then hit enter. :) there ya go. wonder if there a bash feature to auto-cd to a directory name when the name is entered. | 12:46 |
| s3r3n1t7 | Dr_Willis, i doubt that, since it would hamper a lot when typing lots of dirs in combination with commands | 12:47 |
| === eloric is now known as elroic | ||

| airtonix | bobsomebody, have you got the server set to "start on login" | 13:20 |
| ohir | Dr_Willis: ok, so why advicing drag-n-drop to commandline ?;) | 13:20 |
| Dr_Willis | ohir: because its handy if you got a terminal open perhaps? | 13:20 |
| bobsomebody | airtonix, yeah, i used run as to check if admin was the issue | 13:20 |
| airtonix | bobsomebody, then turn it off. | 13:20 |
| Dr_Willis | ohir: or if you want to do a 'some other command' and drag/drop it. | 13:21 |
| ohir | Dr_Willis: thats a good excuse :) | 13:21 |

| bobsomebody | airtonix, im gonna hold really still and let the screen saver kick in using run as non admin to see if that helps | 13:23 |
| ohir | Dr_Willis: I am terminal dino, no need for wearing my joints with mouse :) | 13:23 |
| airtonix | bobsomebody, win7 has native virtual desktop support (just no interface for creating more workspaces like linux does) so when you make synergy run at startup it makes it a 'service' thus causing it to run in the admins userspace and not yours hence not on your screen | 13:23 |
| bobsomebody | airtonix, same results | 13:24 |
| airtonix | bobsomebody, did you tell it to not run on startup... | 13:25 |
| bobsomebody | interesting, i never knew that about win7, i wonder if they made any powertoys for it, i know on xp you can get one for multiple desktop workspaces but things go south fast | 13:25 |

| airtonix | Guest40017, "automatic on start up" <<< what does this mean ? | 13:28 |
| bobsomebody | im thinking compitz might be where its going wrong | 13:28 |
| airtonix | bobsomebody, i doubt it, because i don't have problems with that. | 13:28 |
| bobsomebody | hrm, i think your right, i could have sworn there was something about screen saver in there that i was fiddling with | 13:30 |

| bobsomebody | airtonix, i just noticed my screen saver wont initialize at all, i set it to 1 min, shutdown synergy, watched 3 min's click by and nothing happened | 13:43 |
| airtonix | flambo, can you not set your visibility to only those on your list ? | 13:43 |
| flambo | airtonix: not a clue,, | 13:43 |
| airtonix | bobsomebody, ? sorry i thought your windows side of the synergy was dissapearing into a hidden screen? | 13:44 |
| bobsomebody | no the linux side of things is | 13:44 |
| bouma | hello, im trying to help my friend with recovery of an external usb drive with an ntfs partition which was being accessed with ubuntu 10.04 successfully when the machine locked and afterwards the ntfs partition will not mount, it is not just the dirty flag ubuntu brings up a message saying that it is important to run chkdsk /f , but xp/win7 wont even enumerate the volume, and the best win offers is to 'initialise the partition table' no thanks. ub | 13:44 |
| bouma | untu shows the partition table is fine, mbr style, with one large ntfs partition and an extended reiserfs partition. any help on what software so i can mount this drive its a TB and so its got alot of important stuff on it | 13:45 |
| bobsomebody | the windows box is the synergy server | 13:45 |
| airtonix | bobbytek, i thnk you need to describe the problem again for me | 13:45 |

| bobsomebody | (lol everyone does that) but the problem is when the screen savers kick in, the linux screen acts like its going into power save mode | 13:46 |
| yessir_turan | test | 13:46 |
| === yessir_turan is now known as dfder | ||
| airtonix | bobsomebody, which screen saver ? | 13:46 |
| arch1 | thanks for help : ciao alla prossima | 13:46 |
| bobsomebody | glmatrix | 13:47 |
| airtonix | bobsomebody, so the linux screensaver. | 13:47 |
| arunkumar413 | i cant create a folder in /usr/bin | 13:47 |
| === Seth is now known as nirvana | ||
| bazhang | arunkumar413, why would you want to | 13:47 |
| airtonix | arunkumar413, you need to use sudo | 13:47 |
| bobsomebody | yeah but now im finding out i cant get the screen saver to kick in at all | 13:47 |
| airtonix | bobsomebody, on linux ? | 13:47 |
| bobsomebody | yup | 13:47 |
| arunkumar413 | airtonix: tell me the complete command, why cant i create using create new foldre option | 13:48 |
| airtonix | bobsomebody, i assume you've already checked : system > preferences > screensaver ? | 13:48 |
| bobsomebody | its a fairly basic setup, nothing over the top or hackish | 13:48 |
| oCean_ | bouma: well, ubuntu offers some ntfs utlities in ntfsprogs | 13:48 |
| bobsomebody | yeah i set up all that stuff | 13:48 |
| bazhang | arunkumar413, explain what you are trying to do | 13:49 |
| airtonix | bobsomebody, how did you run the synergyc ? | 13:49 |
| bobsomebody | its set to kick in on startup but i killed it to see if the screen saver would kick in or not | 13:49 |
| arunkumar413 | bazhang: i need to create a folder for my electronic symbol libraries under the directory where the executable file is located | 13:49 |
| arunkumar413 | bazhang: the executable file is in the /usr/bin | 13:50 |
| airtonix | bobsomebody, what i mean is on the linux machine are you a) using quicksynergy or, b) using /usr/bin/synergyc -f nameofyour-windows-machine.local | 13:50 |
| bobsomebody | airtonix, b | 13:50 |
| airtonix | bobsomebody, and you say you have it "running on startup" << elaborate | 13:51 |
| bazhang | arunkumar413, installed via the package manager? | 13:51 |
| Morten_ | which kernel does the newest ubuntu have? | 13:51 |
| bazhang | !info linux | Morten_ | 13:51 |

| arunkumar413 | bazhang: ya | 13:51 |
| Morten_ | thanks bazhang | 13:51 |
| bobsomebody | airtonix, basically when my user logs in it executes the command to load synergyc | 13:51 |
| airtonix | bobsomebody, so you are using ~/.profile to run it ? | 13:51 |
| bazhang | arunkumar413, which app | 13:52 |
| arunkumar413 | bazhang: gschem | 13:52 |
| arunkumar413 | bazhang: its a part of gEDA | 13:53 |
| bazhang | geda-gschem arunkumar413 this? | 13:53 |
| bobsomebody | airtonix, yeah but its just the default stuff (your talking about the synergy config correct?) | 13:53 |
| StaRetji | Folks, is there a way to modify favorites shortcut icon ( I need to modify chromium shortcut to start in kiosk mode) | 13:54 |
| airtonix | bobsomebody, i use aliases and bonjour hostnames for my config | 13:54 |
| airtonix | bobsomebody, here is what i would do first : 1) install openssh-server and screen on the linux machine 2) get putty for windows 3) login to the linux machine 4) run screen 5) then run : synergyc -f servername/ip | 13:54 |
| arunkumar413 | bazhang: yes | 13:54 |
| bobsomebody | screen? | 13:54 |
| arunkumar413 | bazhang: for creating my own schematic symbols i need to create my own directory | 13:55 |
| bazhang | arunkumar413, just checking the forums | 13:55 |
| bouma | hello is there a windows channel, or someone who can advise me on how to recover an ntfs partition which wont mount after being used under ubuntu which hung | 13:55 |
| airtonix | bobsomebody, its like workspaces for terminal... you can detach them and re attach them... and inside each workspace you can have running programs left alone after you logout from ssh | 13:55 |
| bobsomebody | oh i thought that sounded familiar | 13:56 |
| stevehedge | how do i get my Epson scanner/printer to work in Opensuse KDE 11.2?? | 13:56 |
| bobsomebody | i must admit im confused a bit on how this moves towards a solution with the screen saver not kicking in | 13:57 |
| airtonix | bobsomebody, you do it this way because all sorts of things go wrong on the remote machine thus using screen allows you to start up synergy in verbose mode and then detach from it when you don't need to see it | 13:57 |
| iceroot | stevehedge: this is #ubuntu | 13:57 |
| bazhang | stevehedge, try #suse | 13:57 |
| === fulldarkness is now known as slim | ||
| airtonix | bobsomebody, the verbose output of synergy might give you a clue as to exactly what is going wrong. | 13:57 |
| === om26er_ is now known as om26er | ||
| arunkumar413 | bazhang: this is what i need to do inorder to create my own symbols: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/PCZY8uJY | 13:58 |
| EgyParadox | stevehedge: I believe OpenSUSE is another distro, it is not supported here. | 13:58 |
| === Paulecas is now known as Paulo39 | ||
| bobsomebody | airtonix, let me see if i can find the switch for synergyc's verbose mode | 13:58 |
| airtonix | bobsomebody, it is "-f" | 13:58 |
| bobsomebody | i think i have that set at start up :S let me double check it | 13:59 |
| slim | hi | 13:59 |
| atcho | .. | 13:59 |
| abhi_nav | hi | 14:00 |
| slim | hi | 14:00 |
| bobsomebody | huh, i guess i took it out, im gonna give that a go | 14:00 |
| airtonix | bobsomebody, on my desktop machine at home (running karmic) the screensaver kicks in after 10min i think. i don't think i have any power saving options turned on, but because i launch synergy under the currently logged in user via ssh > screen > synergyc -f remotehostname.local | 14:01 |
| bobsomebody | airtonix, ill have to admit i figured getting glmatrix onto windows running through avast screen saver was going to be the hard part of this stupid idea lol | 14:01 |
| bobsomebody | that was actually kinda easy | 14:01 |
| Roy_ | hi all guys...I'm noob and not english-native language. I need a help: I running on ubuntu 10.04 and reading a "for dummies" guide that show me how to find a services panel, but in "systems - administration-..." there is not the "services" . Someone help me and explain how to reinstall this or how to find the same functions ? | 14:02 |
| airtonix | bobsomebody, when you say screen saver kicks in like power saving mode, do you mean the linux box suspends or just has a locked screensaver requiring you to enter you username and password ? | 14:02 |
| === dfder is now known as yessir_turan | ||
| abhi_nav | Roy_, system=>administration=>system monitor=>services | 14:02 |
| bobsomebody | airtonix, the screen itself goes into the power save mode but the system itself does nothing different | 14:03 |
| airtonix | bobsomebody, and this is after a period of inactivity which causes the screensaver to launch. ? | 14:04 |
| bobsomebody | no, it does absolutely nothing then | 14:04 |
| bazhang | arunkumar413 you want to add a schematic? http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/gschem.1.html | 14:04 |
| bazhang | ah he quit | 14:04 |
| bobsomebody | only if it gets the screen saver sync from synergy will it do that with the screen | 14:04 |
| bazhang | arunkumar413 you want to add a schematic? http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/gschem.1.html | 14:04 |
| airtonix | bobsomebody, im not sure what you mean by that to be honest ? synergy communicates with screensavers ? | 14:05 |
| bobsomebody | well remember how i had the screen savers synced with synergy? | 14:05 |
| arunkumar413 | bazhang: no | 14:05 |
| bobsomebody | on that event, (initialized by the windows host computer's screen saver kicking in) it will give me that power save mode on the linux screen | 14:06 |
| airtonix | bobsomebody, not really. does this problem happen regardless of the screensaver you choose ? | 14:06 |
| lg188 | is there a kind of paicho in the games ? | 14:06 |
| Roy_ | <abhi_nav : there is not. there are "system, process, resources and file system". in the option, there is not something to enable it. 8-( | 14:06 |
| bobsomebody | you know i didnt check that... let me try it, brb | 14:06 |
| bazhang | arunkumar413, then to add what ever it is you wish ( a folder one directory up apparently) you'd need to use sudo | 14:06 |
| ja660k_ | does anyone know what folder firefox plugins are in? | 14:07 |
| abhi_nav | Roy_, oh yah my mistake | 14:07 |
| Roy_ | <abhi_nav no prob 8-) | 14:07 |
| arand | ja660k_: ~/.mozilla/plugins/ but if you mean addons it's in ~/.mozilla/firefox/profilename/extensions I think | 14:08 |
| abhi_nav | Roy_ are you in admin account? if not then crosscheck it from there because i am now in stadard account. so i can see | 14:08 |

| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, that and I just removed 3 years of dust from the water cooling's tripple fan radiator, and there was a lot of dust! | 14:10 |
| airtonix | bobsomebody, ahh i never noticed that config option : screenSaverSync = {true|false} | 14:10 |
| gotenksss | ubuntu the best | 14:11 |
| gotenksss | i love ubuntu | 14:11 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, i doubt that has an effect on the software | 14:11 |
| trojan_spike | ubuntu love you ;) | 14:11 |
| JediMaster | s3r3n1t7, well it's 30C+ in the room and I figured it can't help if it's overheating =) | 14:11 |
| bobsomebody | airtonix, well this time it did absolutely nothing | 14:11 |
| s3r3n1t7 | JediMaster, true | 14:12 |
| bobsomebody | using a different screen saver | 14:12 |
| airtonix | bobsomebody, that implies it requires the same screensaver software on both machines ? seems a bit retarded to me | 14:12 |

| Gryllida | what do you expect it to do? | 14:17 |
| bobsomebody | airtonix, at first yes, but then i adjusted the power managment stuff on all 3 to power down the screens before the blank screens kicked in | 14:17 |

| bobsomebody | airtonix, well it seems that ive disabled the power save mode but i cant seem to get it to do anything now | 14:23 |
| torarne | Q: After a fresh install of 10.04 the boot hangs with a blinking cursor, and booting in rescue mode shows a suspicious "Out of memory" for ureadahead, and ends up halting after the msg "Attached SCSI removable disk". Any idea what could cause this? | 14:24 |
| airtonix | tuliohm, sudo apt-get install bum | 14:24 |
| airtonix | bobsomebody, when you say "cant seem to get it to do anything now", does this mean that not even the mouse of keyboard attached to the linux box cause any response ? | 14:25 |
| bobsomebody | there is no mouse or keyboard attached to the linux box | 14:25 |
| bobsomebody | when i say do anything i mean it wont even do the power save mode, it just acts like its not going idle | 14:26 |
| tuliohm | airtonix, I'm using it :P | 14:26 |
| tuliohm | better than the old one | 14:26 |
| bobsomebody | no screen flicker, no screen saver, nothing | 14:26 |
| airtonix | bobsomebody, so the screen is not physically repsonding ? | 14:27 |
| bobsomebody | it is, i just ment its not doing what it should | 14:27 |
| bobsomebody | (im talking to you on the linux box) | 14:27 |
| bluebaron_ | anyone know why, when i try to open file with other application, set it as the default application, it goes back to toetem(avi) | 14:27 |
| bluebaron_ | i want vlc | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip | torarne: boot to root recovery mode with networking and use a wired connection (makes life easier). and get updated | 14:28 |
| torarne | actionparsnip: seems like i'm hitting this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ureadahead/+bug/590963 | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip | bluebaron_: right click the file, you can configure the default app there I believe | 14:28 |
| airtonix | bobsomebody, ok. so your only problem right now is that the screensaver sync is not actually syncing ? | 14:28 |
| torarne | actionparsnip: i just rebooted for the third time and now i got the rescue console | 14:28 |
| Dr_Willis | bluebaron_: that open with.. dosent set teh default.. its a one time thing. | 14:29 |
| bobsomebody | bluebaron_, system > preferences > preferred applications | 14:29 |
| airtonix | bobsomebody, and that previewing any of the linux screensavers does not give you a full screen preview ? | 14:29 |
| bluebaron_ | Dr_Willis, then why is there a checkmark that says "Rember this application for \"AVI Video\" files"? | 14:29 |
| bluebaron_ | bobsomebody, thank you | 14:30 |
| bobsomebody | no preview works flawlessly and behaves just fine (no flickers, no redraw hiccups) | 14:30 |
| airtonix | bluebaron_, its not a checkmark its a radio box. and do not confuse the fact that it being highlighted means that you have set that entry as the default app. | 14:30 |
| Dr_Willis | bluebaron_: try right clicking and set it that way then. | 14:30 |
| bluebaron_ | airtonix, no you are wrong | 14:30 |
| === rpk is now known as RobKielty | ||
| airtonix | bluebaron_, you actually have to click on the radiocircle | 14:30 |

| bobsomebody | well shit that wasnt good.... my slide out tray just fell off my desk brb 1 sec | 14:31 |
| Dr_Willis | I think he means the 'open with ... other application .... ' gui has a check bo. | 14:31 |
| torarne | actionparsnip: k, got into root + networking and did apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, hopefully that will fix it | 14:31 |
| ActionParsnip | torarne: hope so, updates fix quite a lot | 14:31 |
| bluebaron_ | "anyone know why, when i try to open file with other application, set it as the default application, it goes back to toetem(avi)" | 14:31 |
| torarne | actionparsnip: thanks for the tip | 14:31 |
| airtonix | bluebaron_, default ubuntu theme has that as a radio selector not a check box. | 14:32 |
| ActionParsnip | torarne: do a dist-upgrade too, will get you kernel updates too :) | 14:32 |
| devi | hi everyone, can someone help me with installing my printer? | 14:32 |
| airtonix | bluebaron_, infact i think that regardless of the theme it will always be a radio widget and not a tickbox | 14:32 |
| bluebaron_ | airtonix, a radio button implies there are at least two options ... please stop talking | 14:32 |

| ActionParsnip | devi: brother do linux drivers, head to the brother site | 14:33 |
| sweetpi | bluebaron_: iirc it just adds the program to the list of known apps for that file type | 14:34 |
| devi | ActionParsnip: I tried that, but what do I do once I downloaded the driver...? | 14:34 |
| ActionParsnip | devi: most times they are debs so install them like any other deb | 14:34 |
| bluebaron_ | sweetpi, ahhh .... yes .. that makes sense | 14:34 |
| bobsomebody | airtonix, i must admit im about at wits end with this stunt lol | 14:34 |
| devi | Actionparsnip: Whats a deb? | 14:35 |
| bobsomebody | time vs actual coolness factor != worth it | 14:35 |

| saml | hey, how can I install .deb package i downloaded? | 14:35 |
| saml | dpkg -i ? | 14:35 |
| ActionParsnip | devi: ubuntu doesnt expect you to be | 14:35 |
| bobsomebody | airtonix, but i thank you for your help none the less | 14:35 |
| ActionParsnip | saml: sudo dpkg -i file | 14:35 |
| ActionParsnip | devi: what filename have you downloaded? | 14:35 |
| bluebaron_ | How do I set the default application for avi files? | 14:36 |
| saml | ActionParsnip, it fails because i don't have dependencies. | 14:36 |
| devi | ActionParsnip, I just saw I doewnloaded 2 times the rpm files.. there r some deb too, should I try that? | 14:36 |
| airtonix | bluebaron_, because i love you : http://imagebin.org/104660 | 14:36 |
| abhi_nav | !rpm | devi | 14:36 |
| ubottu | devi: 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) | 14:36 |
| ActionParsnip | devi: ubuntu doesn't use rpm. | 14:37 |
| hahab | hi how do i start memtest from the new ubuntu lucid live cd? | 14:37 |
| devi | oohhhhh.... oops! | 14:37 |
| abhi_nav | !deb | devi | 14:37 |
| ubottu | devi: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. | 14:37 |
| ActionParsnip | devi: run this command and it will be fine: cd ~; wget http://solutions.brother.com/Library/sol/printer/linux/rpmfiles/lpr_debian/dcp135clpr-1.0.1-1.i386.deb; sudo dpkg -i ./dcp135clpr-1.0.1-1.i386.deb; sudo apt-get -f install; rm ./dcp135clpr-1.0.1-1.i386.deb | 14:37 |

| ActionParsnip | erry: sure you just need to enable the partner repo | 14:38 |
| bluebaron_ | airtonix, thank you for showing me how wrong you were ... you didn't read my question ... while that lets me know how to fix my issue, your telling me that i was wrong was wrong because you didn't read the question | 14:38 |
| erry | ActionParsnip, which partner repo? | 14:38 |
| Roy_ | I have a problem: on ubuntu 10.04 there is not the "services" voice under "system - administration". Someone know something about that ? someone can help me ? | 14:38 |
| bobsomebody | airtonix, i know u said u dont use screen savers much but if you've ever wanted to get the linux ones over to windows i found this tonight http://www.engr.uvic.ca/~dastone/winxscreensaver/ | 14:38 |
| ActionParsnip | erry: THE partner repo, its in software sources | 14:38 |

| ActionParsnip | erry: try other search engines then.... | 14:39 |

| Sk1nk | Hi, could somebody explain me what a "sink" on pulseaudio is for and how to create one? | 14:39 |
| sweetpi | scroll fail | 14:39 |
| bobsomebody | yeah i was quite impressed with it myself | 14:40 |
| abhi_nav | Roy_ i searched it by login in to admin account. it is not there. i try to search under software center no luck. only i found is this run 'service' from terminal | 14:40 |
| airtonix | Sk1nk, its a microphone source. | 14:40 |
| trijntje_ | How can I stop the network manager in Lucid. "sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager stop" does not know | 14:40 |
| airtonix | Sk1nk, wait no. | 14:40 |
| devi | Actionparsnip: I was already downloading the deb file... it installed and where can i find it now? | 14:40 |
| bluebaron_ | sweetpi, thank you. got it. airtonix had the right place but thought i was already there because he failed to read the question properly | 14:40 |
| sgevatter | trijntje: Try "killall nm-applet" | 14:40 |
| === sgevatter is now known as RainCT | ||
| bobsomebody | it took some finagaling to get avast to run one of them but it is doable | 14:40 |
| airtonix | bluebaron_, obviously. but don't let me cause your anger to dissipate | 14:40 |
| bluebaron_ | reading comprehension was the issue here | 14:40 |
| trijntje_ | sgevatter: thanks | 14:41 |
| Sk1nk | airtonix: I read something about creating a sink for two playbackdevices so pulseaudio playes on both of them on the same time. but i couln't follow the discussion :) | 14:41 |
| ActionParsnip | devi: just run the command I gave and it will install. If you then attatch your printer it may install, if not then run through the printer install wizard and the driver will be in the list | 14:41 |
| bluebaron_ | airtonix, well i'm glad that you admit the issue wasn't with me .. that eases things .. don't pretend i'm stupid next time | 14:41 |
| devi | Actionparsnip, ok, then I'll try that :) | 14:42 |
| airtonix | bluebaron_, oh but if you think those two widgets aren't what i called them...lol | 14:42 |
| bluebaron_ | bluebaron_, are you still saying that i wasn't looking at a checkbox? have you still not read my question? | 14:42 |
| bluebaron_ | airtonix, because you said you had .. doesn't make sense what you're saying ... seems as though you spoke falsely | 14:43 |
| Roy_ | <abhi_nav thanks again for you help. My trouble is that my guide is for the 9.x release, and show where and how to interact with it. | 14:43 |

| abhi_nav | devi, btw, you can find that downloded .deb file in your /home/<username>/Downloads if you have not altered the location | 14:44 |

| Paulo39 | DarkStar1, thanks | 14:48 |
| Administr | I can do it from windows and linux at the smae time, but when it's two ubuntu computers I simply cannot do it and get a Connection timeout | 14:48 |
| DarkStar1 | Administr: clarify please | 14:49 |
| mo__ | Paulo39: that's not just for logins, but for any start of bash. If you want to define startup apps for gnome-sessions, that's a different story. | 14:49 |

| devi | can anyone else help me with my printer problem? | 14:50 |
| DarkStar1 | devi: Please state the nature of the problem | 14:50 |
| Paulo39 | mo__, the goal is to synchronize 2 folders using rsync | 14:50 |
| devi | Darkstar1. I added my printer but the drivers menu doesn't list a driver for my printermodell. On the brother site I found, downloaded and installed a driver.. and now? | 14:51 |
| sakr2008 | I ahve looked into gnome userguide I search a little bit in ubuntu community I just need to change the look of left pane on my ubuntu 10.04 notebook edition any ideas | 14:51 |
| Dr_Willis | devi: what brotgher printer? theres some package in the package manager taht you can use. and not need the ones from their site | 14:52 |
| mo__ | Paulo39: then bashrc is the wrong place, it would happen anytime you start a terminal emulation or login (both cases, if you use bash as shell). hmm... do you use the graphical login? | 14:52 |
| airtonix | Administr, you obviously checked that they are both having different ip addresses ? | 14:52 |

| eckonet | ? | 14:52 |
| Paulo39 | mo__, yes, i use the graphical login | 14:52 |
| Dr_Willis | devi: if the driver got installed properly. it should show up in the drivers listing. I tend to use teh cups web interface. not the gnome gui tool also. It seems to work better for me | 14:52 |
| HaDAk | i'm trying to get my optical audio working (ubuntu 9.10, nvidia mcp79 hd audio). any hints? | 14:53 |
| mo__ | Paulo39: well, then it's easy. write a script that does whatever you want to do and define it as startup application. in Settings -> startup application (dunno the exact english term, not using english locale) | 14:53 |
| devi | Dr_Willis: Uhm what? a brother dcp-135c. | 14:53 |
| devi | Actionparsnip: how do i pastebin again? | 14:53 |
| DarkStar1 | Dr_Willis: I didn't know cups had a web interface......what do I need to access it? I'm guessing apache right? | 14:53 |

| Dr_Willis | devi: you did check the package manager? and the ubuntu forums? :) http://localhost:631 for cups web interface.. cups is a rather.. amazing systwem. :) | 14:54 |

| airtonix | bluebaron, see my imagebin... you will find it entertaining | 14:55 |
| mo__ | Paulo39: sure, use "sleep seconds" to let it wait | 14:56 |
| bluebaron_ | airtonix, i did .. it was ignorant and displayed your reading level for all to see | 14:56 |
| Dr_Willis | devi: the package manager here shows several 'brother' printer driver packages. I dont know what one is for yours | 14:56 |
| airtonix | bluebaron_, oh you sailor boy, making me all hot now | 14:56 |
| DarkStar1 | HaDAk: Sexy web interface | 14:57 |
| Dr_Willis | devi: apt-cache search brother-cups-wrapper shows about 5 packages. You could just install them all. :) I think thats what i did for my Brother laser | 14:57 |
| ActionParsnip | devi: http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/lpr_drivers.html grab the link on the RIGHT hand side for your model, that is a deb file. You can then download it and double click it to install | 14:57 |

| frxstrem | how can I remove entries of older kernel versions in the GRUB boot menu? | 14:57 |
| bluebaron_ | airtonix, please concede that you didn't read my question and then you pretended that I was stupid when clearly you failed to remove the mote from thine own eye | 14:57 |
| bluebaron_ | good day, sir | 14:58 |
| mo__ | sakr2008: "old menu"? you installed the netbook stuff and want to have a regular gnome session with desktop and "normal" windows? | 14:58 |
| airtonix | bluebaron, NEVER! | 14:58 |
| trojan_spike | is that an awn menu? | 14:58 |
| Paulo39 | mo__, ok, nice. so, for this example, i just need 1 command to run. so i just add the line "sleep 120 rsync -a dir1/ dir2/" to start-up apps or is there any syntaxe wrong in this example? | 14:58 |
| sakr2008 | yesssss | 14:58 |
| airtonix | trojan_spike, no its netbook remix blah blah | 14:58 |
| sakr2008 | Thanks mo | 14:58 |
| Dr_Willis | sakr2008: at the gdm login screen you can select netbook, or normal buuntu/gnome/ | 14:58 |
| bazhang | airtonix, bluebaron_ lets move on please | 14:58 |
| mo__ | Paulo39: put a "&&" between sleep 120 and rsync and you're golden. | 14:58 |
| airtonix | bazhang, yes. | 14:58 |
| bluebaron_ | bazhang, agreed .. i feel like a fool | 14:58 |
| DarkStar1 | sakr2008: I would like to know how too should you find out. I accidentally did that once but can't remember how I got my old menu back | 14:58 |

| flupke | hi, what package could cause the kvm module to be loaded ? I thought it was qemu but I uninstalled it and kvm still is loaded at every reboot (and conflicts with virtualbox) | 15:08 |
| s3r3n1t7 | flupke, check if you have kvm installed | 15:08 |
| DarkStar1 | devi: what's teh problem now? | 15:08 |
| flupke | s3r3n1t7, not installed | 15:09 |
| devi | Darkstar1, the website is telling me all these things I have to do and I don't know how to do them, it's gonna take me ages!! | 15:09 |
| DarkStar1 | devi: What are you trying to get done? | 15:10 |
| s3r3n1t7 | flupke, then manually unload it? Also, just to verify .. aptitude search kvm --- and check if one of those lines starts with an i | 15:10 |
| devi | Darkstar1. installed a driver for my printer and now i can#t find the driver and the printer still isn't working | 15:11 |
| flupke | s3r3n1t7, that's what I do, manually unload it at every reboot ; I'd prefer to remove the package that pulled it in though | 15:11 |
| devi | Darkstar1. and all these commands and stuff go way over my head! | 15:11 |
| s3r3n1t7 | flupke, then verify it is not installed with aptitude. The .so has to come from somewhere. | 15:11 |
| s3r3n1t7 | flupke, if it truely is not installed, get apt-file and search for the providing packages. | 15:12 |
| DarkStar1 | devi: is it listed in the System>Printing section? | 15:12 |
| DarkStar1 | devi: menu* | 15:12 |
| devi | Darkstar1. the printer is but its associated with the wrong driver so it dioesn't work... | 15:13 |
| flupke | s3r3n1t7, hmm it comes with all kernels, so that must be a package that modified the configuration | 15:13 |
| echosystm | guys | 15:13 |
| flupke | s3r3n1t7, maybe that's because I didn't --purge when removing qemu | 15:13 |

| savid | Hi, I'm using rhythmbox and have a bunch of songs that were not tagged (ie, "Unknown Artist", etc.) when I imported them. I then used an external program (picard) to tag the songs, and rhythmbox didin't update the tags in its library. Is it possible to re-import the songs or reload the tags? | 15:20 |

| DarkStar1 | devi: I found this solution from: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1058838 but with regards to the setting thing I think you add the priinter to your system from the server menu | 15:24 |
| devi | darkstar1. I get to basic server settings | 15:24 |
| devi | darkstar1 ok, hold on | 15:24 |

| erUSUL | rical: is called ip_forwarding or NAT | 15:26 |
| rical | erUSUL: what tool is used to manage this? | 15:26 |

| ujvarosya | hey, anyone can help why don't work my floppy drive under 10.04? the BIOS see it.. | 15:39 |

| Audacitor | Hi, I'm having some problems changing directories. | 15:40 |
| Audacitor | Apparently, cd is missing. | 15:41 |
| Audacitor | Gone entirely from /bin | 15:41 |
| t0th_- | zip warning: name not matched: | 15:41 |
| t0th_- | why? | 15:41 |
| Audacitor | What package is it in, so I can reinstall it? | 15:41 |
| Izinucs | IdleOne: he mentioned earlier he had no internet | 15:41 |
| frostburn | ujvarosya, do you see it in /dev/? ls -lah /dev/fd* | 15:41 |
| uzytkownik | #bluzgi | 15:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Audacitor: i was thinking 'cd' is a bash built in | 15:41 |
| CGGB | hmm, xchat crashed on me. sorry if I missed a reply. Downloaded 10.04 twice, 1.torrent 2.http from releases.ubuntu. both cases the CD loads up like a liveCD with no option to install. Login Screen but I don't have the username or pass | 15:41 |
| IdleOne | Izinucs: understood but he is on the internet right now :/ | 15:42 |
| llutz | Audacitor: its a bash-builtin | 15:42 |
| frostburn | Audacitor, it's not a binary | 15:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Audacitor: http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Bourne-Shell-Builtins.html#Bourne-Shell-Builtins | 15:42 |
| Audacitor | Okay, in that case, why can't sudo use it? | 15:42 |
| IdleOne | Izinucs: he now has two solutions he can use | 15:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Audacitor: sudo cd, would be useless. | 15:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Audacitor: what are you trying to acomplish | 15:42 |
| llutz | Audacitor: "sudo cd" makes no sense | 15:42 |
| ujvarosya | frostburn: yes | 15:42 |
| erUSUL | Audacitor: becouse it is not a command | 15:42 |
| erUSUL | Audacitor: you have to get a root shell | 15:42 |
| erUSUL | !rootshell | Audacitor | 15:43 |
| Izinucs | IdleOne: good point.. yep.. multiple solutions are good. | 15:43 |
| ubottu | Audacitor: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) | 15:43 |
| Audacitor | I need to sudo cd into a directory. | 15:43 |
| ujvarosya | frostburn: but I can't open it or format.. | 15:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Audacitor: normally you dont need to.. what are you trying to acomplish.. | 15:43 |
| s3r3n1t7 | Audacitor, no you need a rootshell in a directory | 15:43 |
| llutz | Audacitor: "sudo -i" then cd into it | 15:43 |
| Audacitor | Okay, I'll try that... | 15:43 |
| Audacitor | Got it. | 15:43 |
| Audacitor | Okay, thanks for the education; I thought they all in a package somewhere. | 15:44 |
| ujvarosya | frostburn: pastebin.com/XnywKS81 | 15:44 |
| Audacitor | Thanks guys. | 15:44 |
| nesbitt | could someone please help me with hostnames - i have several ubuntu systems all of them can ping/ssh the others by using hostname.local, and this is automatic without any configuration. i recently set up ubuntu server 10.04 and i can't access it by it's hostname, and it can't access any of the other systems by their hostnames. anyone have any idea on why this might be and how i could get it working? | 15:44 |
| * Dr_Willis thinks there needs to be some links to the ubuntu manual, and a shell tutorial on the desktop :) | 15:45 | |
| frostburn | ujvarosya, that's not the floppy, it should say /dev/fd0 thats a diff device. i wonder if the floppy disk modules are even included in the kernel | 15:45 |
| IdleOne | Izinucs: I believe his issue was more about how to get the packages to the other machine and less about how to get the packages. </Thought complete> :) | 15:45 |

| askhader | Anarchy7: Yez | 15:53 |
| askhader | yes | 15:53 |

| luckymurali | Izinucs,IdleOne, is it ok that I can download alternate cd for installing ubuntu desktop?? | 15:53 |
| frostburn | DDAZZA, did you just install, or had it been working before? | 15:53 |
| Anarchy7 | askhader: after your chatting you last time I upgraded to ubuntu lucid 10.04 | 15:54 |
| DDAZZA | I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.4 | 15:54 |
| ujvarosya | frostburn: I tried it with msdos and vfat, but it said, that there are errors in filesystem type, or bad superblock..etc | 15:54 |
| idlemind | next question. is it un-realistic to use /srv/www for my http files/virtualhosts? or is it best practice to use the /var/www structure apache puts itself in (even though it doesn't make sense) | 15:54 |

| frostburn | DDAZZA, there's something wrong with your grub configuration, you may need to check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto and manually fix it | 15:55 |
| Izinucs | luckymurali: that might work.. perhaps you should do both suggestions so when you attempt it you have a backup | 15:55 |
| Anarchy7 | now I am trying to install with sudo sh ./ati-driver-installer-10-4-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/lucid | 15:55 |

| kingrem | pls | 16:24 |
| kingrem | Hi. I am newby with this. I can't open http://unciclopediaf.tripod.com I normally use that to connect to irc and nothing :S. why? :((( | 16:24 |
| kingrem | I am newby in linux. help please | 16:25 |
| maemo | s3r3n1t7, http://pastesite.com/17348 | 16:25 |
| ubuntu | geirha, it would be my filesystem? | 16:25 |
| ubuntu | Kingrem, use xchat | 16:25 |
| frostburn | kingrem, i'd use a built in irc client instead of a web based java program, you'll need to talk to the developers of that app to figure out why its not working | 16:25 |
| deltree_ | is that the same deal with cheese? | 16:26 |
| Thalone | i use irssi for IRC | 16:26 |
| ubuntu | geirha, what with another partition that i will create? | 16:26 |
| abhi_nav | !xcaht | kingrem | 16:26 |
| abhi_nav | :( | 16:26 |
| oCean_ | kingrem: provide some details: what changed? What are you trying? What are the errors you get? | 16:26 |
| kingrem | frostburn: it starts working but it freezes | 16:26 |
| ubuntu | geirha, just one must set to /? | 16:26 |
| kanhiya | what special ubuntu have:) | 16:26 |
| kingrem | oCean_: when it loads it say 'error: connection to lagged' | 16:27 |
| kingrem | I tried from school too | 16:27 |
| deltree_ | I have switched from win 7 to ubuntu10.04 and i need to record video with my netbook. Cheese doesnt want to record video for me is there another app i can use? the pics i take with cheese come out great just no video. can anyone help? | 16:27 |
| oCean_ | kingrem: so, you are saying this is not an Ubuntu issue?? | 16:27 |
| geirha | ubuntu: You MUST have a /, yes. If you want a separate for /home, then create a partition, and set its mount point to /home and choose ext4 as filesystem. | 16:27 |
| frostburn | kingrem, use xchat, it's installed in ubuntu | 16:27 |
| s3r3n1t7 | maemo, google tells me that geirha was correct. It needs on *.* GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'insertpass'; | 16:28 |
| kingrem | oCean_: is ubuntu-java issue | 16:28 |
| kanhiya | why should one choose ubuntu :-( | 16:28 |
| MauL^ | hi.. after making update | 16:28 |

| oCean_ | kanhiya: stop the ranting please | 16:28 |
| maemo | geirha, I don't quite understand, i just want to add a new root and pw. | 16:28 |
| frostburn | kanhiya, one should use it if it meets your operational requirements, otherwise don't | 16:28 |
| abhi_nav | kanhiya, this is why we should use linux: http://en.windows7sins.org/ | 16:28 |
| MauL^ | hi.. after making update, mysql started not to work claiming that socket cannot be found... how can I fix that ? | 16:29 |
| deltree_ | because it has the best chat support | 16:29 |
| crankharder | oCean_: and our vpn server doesn't use keys | 16:29 |
| frostburn | MauL^, is mysql running | 16:29 |
| oCean_ | crankharder: no keys? What's the point in vpn then? | 16:29 |
| geirha | ubuntu: You can have as many partitions as you like, but one must have / as mount-point. | 16:29 |
| MauL^ | frostburn, I dont think so.. | 16:29 |
| kanhiya | it is creating lot of problems for me:'( | 16:29 |
| frostburn | MauL^, start it, and troubleshoot using the mysql logs | 16:29 |

| oCean_ | maemo: you should realize that there probably is an existing root user; once you've restarted mysqld in safe_mode, you can reset the password (not using 'grant all...') | 16:37 |
| DarkStar1 | thebishop: my rhytmbox was fine when I used it earlier | 16:37 |
| Dr_Willis | kanhiya: eww.. the Sis Company. is so bad in their linux support. | 16:37 |

| kanhiya | i am using a laptop and ubuntu is providing 800x600 resolution | 16:37 |

| Spamicles | windows 7 has this feature where if you drag a window to the top of the screen, it will maximize it, and if you drag a window to the left or right side, it will fill up half the screen allowing you to easily compare two documents side by side. does ubuntu/gnome have anything like this? | 16:39 |

| thebishop | Spamicles, yes to the maximize feature. no to the side compare, unless there's a compiz plugin i don't have | 16:39 |

| Anarchy7 | what shall I write instead of initial ? | 16:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Agu10: no, it installs ubuntu in a file on the ntfs and is bootable, kinda like virtualisation but the OS runs natively rather than virtualised hardware | 16:49 |
| Anarchy7 | isnt it Ubuntu/lucid? | 16:49 |
| Docteh_ | Agu10: wubi is a kludge where you boot ubuntu out of a loop file on ntfs or fat32 | 16:49 |
| Dr_Willis | aliendude3500: you need to use the 'xhost +XXXXX' command befor you su, to allow the apps access. and perhaps Export the DISPLAY variable. | 16:50 |
| maemo | oCean_, learning by doing...but you're right. I followed the simple instructions for reseting a mysql root password...but somehow it doesn't work. Would you consider VNC? | 16:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Agu10: it also suffers speed loss due to being an NTFS file and will get fragmented | 16:50 |

| ubottu | nimbiotics: 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. :-) | 16:51 |
| Dr_Willis | roy__: easiest way. would be to get virtualbox, and install it inside virtuabox. that will be the least risky. and you can play all you want with it | 16:51 |
| aliendude3500 | Dr_Willis, I tried the xhost + localhost thing, but that didn't work. I'm gonna try sux now | 16:51 |
| Spamicles | roy__, im pretty sure microsoft offers software on their website to let you run another operating system inside of windows as a virtual/guest os | 16:51 |
| webPragmatist | if my rsync is stuck at sending incremental file list how can i troubleshoot this | 16:51 |
| Dr_Willis | aliendude3500: you got to do it befor you su i belive | 16:51 |
| Docteh_ | nimbiotics: or if you think the explaination is really long you could always try the forums ;) | 16:51 |
| Agu10 | ok, so I need to reboot to run ubuntu with wubi? | 16:51 |
| Agu10 | or just Alt+Tab or similar? | 16:51 |
| s3r3n1t7 | Agu10, reboot | 16:52 |
| aliendude3500 | sux works great! Thanks! :) | 16:52 |
| ActionParsnip | roy__: you could use virtualbox or vmware to virtualise the OS as another alternative | 16:52 |
| Ek|mu5 | hello | 16:52 |
| Spamicles | thebishop, i installed the settings manager. i looked around but didnt see it. do you remember where the option is? | 16:53 |
| ubuntu | hello | 16:53 |
| Dr_Willis | aliendude3500: yea. Its all part of the 'security' of X. You dont want to let just anyone run apps on your desktopp :) | 16:53 |
| Ek|mu5 | anybody here experiencing kernel BUGs during heavy I/O? | 16:53 |
| Ek|mu5 | any news on this? | 16:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Agu10: it will appear as a dual boot if you use wubi but the data is stored in an image file so troubleshooting bad wubi can be a massive PITA | 16:53 |
| Docteh_ | what kind of bugs? | 16:53 |
| roy__ | ubuntu 10.04 installs completely but not able to run after system boots after installation | 16:53 |
| ActionParsnip | roy__: black screen by any chance? | 16:53 |
| roy__ | no | 16:53 |
| Docteh_ | Ek|mu5: i haven't had any high IO problems beyond stuff slowing down to a crawl | 16:54 |
| Agu10 | ok, thanks | 16:54 |
| ActionParsnip | roy__: did you MD5 test the iso you downloaded? | 16:54 |
| Agu10 | so wubi does add the GRUB, right? | 16:54 |
| roy__ | i,m using the cd to install | 16:54 |
| nimbiotics | Docteh_? I was suposed to issue dpkg" -i --force-all (cups-drivername)" but i mistakenly typed the lpr dirver instead and now when I try to issue ti the right way i get output show at http://dpaste.com/216406/ | 16:55 |
| ActionParsnip | roy__: ok did you check the CD for defects? | 16:55 |
| roy__ | no | 16:55 |
| Docteh_ | nimbiotics: can you remove the lpr package? | 16:55 |
| roy__ | how to do that | 16:55 |
| ActionParsnip | roy__: when the stickman shows, press space and select the test | 16:55 |
| Agu10 | I have an x86 app that I want to install on my ubuntu x64. is it worth to re-download the x64 bit version of that same program? | 16:55 |
| roy__ | stickman? | 16:55 |
| Ek|mu5 | Docteh_, on heavy I/O large file transfers on same disk, another disk but same system, over the network, USB disk, Ubuntu 10.04 just craps out dmesg gives kernel BUG ... inode.c 29xx | 16:55 |
| Pici | !who | roy__ | 16:55 |
| ubottu | roy__: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 16:55 |
| nimbiotics | Docteh_> dnt know how to do it | 16:55 |
| Agu10 | or is there a way to run the x32 one? | 16:55 |
| Ek|mu5 | the missing data is for stuff I can't remember | 16:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Agu10: not sure, i believe it just modifies the windows loader a little, wubi can also be uninstalled like a program in add/remove programs | 16:56 |
| Agu10 | It says it can't install the x86 version, that I need an x64 | 16:56 |
| Compiling | !tab | 16:56 |
| ubottu | 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. | 16:56 |
| Agu10 | ActionParsnip, ok, thanks | 16:56 |
| roy__ | obottu thanks for the tip | 16:56 |
| nimbiotics | Docteh_ > dnt know how to do it | 16:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Agu10: you can install ia32-libs and run 32bit apps, you will need to grab lib files if they are not installed and manually copy .so files to lib32 to make them usable | 16:56 |
| Ek|mu5 | Docteh_, visited the forums and a lot of people have been experiencing this too | 16:57 |

| Agu10 | hi | 17:31 |
| s3r3n1t7 | Ek|mu5, i do not doubt that you experience what it is you are experiencing. However, in order to find a solution i'll need to see it myself and do some further searching. | 17:31 |
| s3r3n1t7 | Ek|mu5, thus far, no bugs here. | 17:31 |
| mnk18 | how to intsall 64 bit of peazip here : http://peazip.sourceforge.net/ | 17:31 |
| Hilikus | Dr_Willis: i don't want to mount that drive, its my mp3 player, i just want to move my music to it | 17:31 |
| Agu10 | I'm trying pure data, but I can't get any sound out of it | 17:31 |
| Dr_Willis | Hilikus: you do have it mounted allready. if you are copying files over to it. | 17:31 |
| Agu10 | should I use ALSA, jack or what? | 17:31 |
| Hilikus | i mean, i know i have to mount it to move them, but i'm not interested in fixing it at the mount level but at the rsync level | 17:31 |
| deostroll | trijntje, java applets which appear on my web page don't work...i figure it is some java installation/version problem...i don't know how to troubleshoot | 17:32 |
| Agu10 | and do I have to activate jack in some way? | 17:32 |
| Ek|mu5 | s3r3n1t7, good for you then :) thanks anyway, I really can't eliminate much since it's happened on 3 different systems | 17:32 |
| noric | . | 17:32 |
| Agu10 | I have no idea about htis | 17:32 |

| s3r3n1t7 | Ek|mu5, is there a bug report? | 17:32 |
| deostroll | generally off the internet | 17:32 |
| Ek|mu5 | s3r3n1t7, someone's already filed one, very similar symptoms with mine | 17:33 |
| s3r3n1t7 | Ek|mu5, can i get a link to that? | 17:33 |
| Ek|mu5 | s3r3n1t7, okay wait a bit | 17:33 |
| deostroll | tell me if this is true...sun's java runtimes are proprietary? | 17:34 |
| trijntje | deostroll, Unless you dont have java installed I dont know what the problem would be. Try asking here again giving more information | 17:35 |

| bazhang | deostroll, you enabled the partner repo and installed from there? what version of Ubuntu is this | 17:35 |

| Izinucs | nimbiotics: have you used the front panel on the printer to assign a static IP address? If not you need to.. preferably outside the DHCP range of your router.. routers typically do DHCP starting with xxx.xxx.xxx.100. So you could use an address below that.. like 192.168.0.50 | 18:54 |

| abhi_nav | amol, it dont need time. i told you the location its under System=>Administration=>Login Screen(gdm2setup). | 19:16 |
| fancybit | I've Installed the full Language support, now it seems more comfortable | 19:16 |
| io | ActionParsnip: He/she would have had to enable root first, so they probably know it is not suggested. | 19:16 |
| idk_ | io: bash: ./altitude.sh: Permission denied | 19:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Cube``: the restricted extras package also hauls in a tonne of fonts | 19:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Io: just a friendly fyi ;) | 19:17 |
| nikitis | hwilde, no freak outs | 19:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Idk_: do you own the file and is it marked as executable | 19:17 |
| amol | abhi_nav, are you talking about the sessions that I get under login screen? | 19:17 |
| idk_ | ActionParsnip: i just downloaded the file with wget, how do I check chmod on a file? | 19:17 |
| abhi_nav | :( | 19:17 |
| nikitis | hwilde, within a few seconds I can no longer alt-tab, drag windows, etc | 19:17 |
| io | idk_: Did you "chown user:group <file>"? | 19:18 |
| Cube`` | ActionParsnip: what is it called? i mean, the real name of it? | 19:18 |
| nikitis | hwilde, I experienced only the plugging messages and unplugging messages | 19:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Idk: chown $USER:$USER ./file; chmod +x file | 19:18 |
| amol | abhi_nav, I currently am on Gnome, I also have term, failsafe and KDE | 19:18 |
| abhi_nav | amol, you go to your desktop. when all windows are minimized. then you can see on the very top of your desktop a bar is there. on that bar on left side there are three menus called Applications, Places, System. among that go to System then go to Administration there you will find Login screen(gdm2setup) | 19:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Cube``: ubuntu-restricted-extras (assuming you use ubuntu and not kubuntu etc). Will install nice codecs and some fonts | 19:19 |
| abhi_nav | :'( | 19:19 |
| fancybit | ActionParsnip: man chmod | 19:19 |
| io | ActionParsnip: "user:group". | 19:19 |
| Cube`` | ActionParsnip: thanks | 19:19 |
| fancybit | in terminal, maybe i'll help | 19:19 |
| idk_ | io: installing :) I forgot the + on chmod | 19:19 |
| ActionParsnip | fancybit: wassup with my chmod? | 19:20 |
| Dr_Willis | each user is their own group i recall. | 19:20 |
| Milk_ | can anyone help me with a startup problem i the power accidentally went off the computer and now everytime i boot up i just get ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode.. | 19:20 |
| amol | abhi_nav, I am there., Unlocked it., But I do not get GDM2 | 19:20 |
| nikitis | isn't it chmod user.group, not user:group? | 19:20 |
| amol | abhi_nav, phew! | 19:20 |
| blinki | How do I enable volume control by decibels instead of %; I had this with pulseaudio in 9.10 but now volume is painfully loud at 15% and doesn't change all the way up to 100%. | 19:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Io: yes, the username is also a groupname so $USER:$USER will work | 19:20 |
| Dr_Willis | nikitis: either can work. but ive noticved that with tab completion the : has issues (i think) | 19:20 |
| io | ActionParsnip: No, that is the default but not neccasarily. | 19:20 |
| kop | 9.04 so I accepted a recent update and after post I get nothing but a black screen although the monitor is still active . I have no response to mouse or kybd (no cap or num lock) any ideas pls ? | 19:20 |
| nikitis | Dr_Willis, I've always used '.' and never had problems | 19:21 |
| fancybit | I don't know, till now I just find softwares from the apt-install & the gui of it | 19:21 |
| abhi_nav_ | hey amol i was disconneted. post your last msg again | 19:21 |
| abhi_nav_ | hi vaibhav may I pm you> | 19:21 |
| Dr_Willis | nikitis: try tab completion with long user names. :) i had an issue with . or : - i cant recall which | 19:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Io: it will sort any ownership issues as $USER will be the only user with any access | 19:21 |
| fancybit | multi get maybe faster | 19:21 |
| nikitis | hwilde, any other ideas? Syslog and messages doesn't seem to be freaking out. | 19:21 |
| amol | abhi_nav, will be right back | 19:21 |
| abhi_nav_ | amol, yes? | 19:22 |
| io | ActionParsnip: chmod uses "user:group", just because Ubuntu creates a group with a users username doesn't mean that it will be the case on all setups. | 19:22 |
| hwilde | nikitis, so the only problem is the mouse and keyboard freeze? try plugging just the mouse with no other mouse or kb. | 19:22 |
| blinki | anybody here familiar with pulseaudio volume control and how to make it adjust by decibels instead of by % | 19:22 |
| kop | I'm finding all kinds of reference to a black screen AFTER boot-splash or login but none after post ... so far | 19:22 |
| nikitis | hwilde, the keyboard doesn't freeze, it works still if terminal was targeted or something where I could type | 19:22 |
| umisenken | Anyone know about DEB packages? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9568827#post9568827 | 19:22 |
| nikitis | Gnome itself stops to function | 19:22 |
| amol | abhi_nav, I'm in GDM2 | 19:22 |
| amol | abhi_nav, where do I go from here? | 19:23 |
| kyle_ | hi | 19:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Io: tru but the user is trying to execute the file so the command gives outright access to the one user, it may help but certainly isn't a bad thing in this case | 19:23 |
| nikitis | hwilde, when booting, I got ext4_read errors. Where it couldn't read inodes while this thing was plugged in | 19:23 |
| hwilde | nikitis, that is bogus. | 19:23 |
| abhi_nav_ | amol, there should be option to change login screen | 19:23 |
| Kyle__ | If I update one machine, than rsync the contents of /var/cache/apt to a bunch of others, will that keep the other machines from needing to download those updates from the internet? | 19:23 |
| nikitis | hwilde, this new mouse has 4 dps settings that can change by the press of a button | 19:24 |
| abhi_nav_ | amol, and now I am not abhi_nav i am abhi_nav_ :P | 19:24 |
| bazhang | Kyle__, use aptoncd instead | 19:24 |
| nikitis | hwilde, DPI* | 19:24 |
| bazhang | !aptoncd | Kyle__ | 19:24 |
| ubottu | Kyle__: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline | 19:24 |
| amol | abhi_nav, found it! | 19:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Kyle__: if you are going to do that a lot on a lan. set up one machine as the 'apt-cacher' to cache the packages for teh whole lan | 19:24 |
| amol | abhi_nav, thanks a ton :) | 19:24 |
| abhi_nav_ | amol, good :) | 19:24 |
| abhi_nav_ | amol, now come in pm | 19:24 |
| Dr_Willis | !info apt-cache | 19:24 |
| ubottu | Package apt-cache does not exist in lucid | 19:24 |

| Kyle__ | the apt-cacher idea sounds better... for routine updates | 19:25 |

| ActionParsnip | !cookie | Kyle__ | 19:25 |
| ubottu | Kyle__: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 19:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Kyle__: only issue is that cache machine has to be on all the time. :) | 19:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Hehe | 19:26 |
| kop | ActionParsnip, well see how that applies to 9.04 tnx I'll let you know | 19:26 |

| Necrocyber | somebody can help a install Pygame in my Ubuntu? | 19:27 |

| Necrocyber | i don´t know what i made wrong but don´t install | 19:27 |
| Necrocyber | i don´t get a module | 19:27 |
| ryanakca | How can I install vim-gtk and vim-nox, but keep vim-nox as default? At the moment, I'd need to call update-alternatives --config a dozen or so times to change vim/vimdiff/eview/etc back to /usr/bin/vim.nox | 19:27 |
| Necrocyber | i already search for the module in my folders but a don´t find | 19:28 |
| nikitis | aeon-ltd, how could I find out? | 19:28 |
| ActionParsnip | nikitis: is the mouse ok in other systems? Try a different port | 19:28 |
| aeon-ltd | nikitis: you can't really besides logs | 19:28 |
| nikitis | ActionParsnip, in windows this mouse works fine on the same box, and I've tried on 4 ports already | 19:28 |
| electronoob | Ok, so I don't even think I'm asking the right question, so feel free to point me in a diffrent direction. I want a script to run, after the install of ubuntu is complete and it boots for the first time. Can someone point me in the direction of what I'm looking for? | 19:28 |
| ActionParsnip | nikitis: if you are using an external usb hub. Try without the hub | 19:28 |
| coreyman | Where is the xorg.conf in 10.01 | 19:28 |

| kop | ActionParsnip, ok off to my desktop cd . I may have to drop the SBGrub boot disk on it as I don't think it sees the cd after post . its real fubar . back l8r | 19:29 |
| ActionParsnip | coreyman: doesn't ship with one but can be generated with: sudo Xorg --configure | 19:29 |
| nikitis | ActionParsnip, syslogs, messages don't go crazy or anything while plugged in, but I do see adverse effects in gnome | 19:29 |
| Kyle__ | electronoob: On first boot only, or on every boot? | 19:29 |
| electronoob | first boot only | 19:29 |
| nikitis | electronoob, what does the script do? | 19:30 |
| Kyle__ | electronoob: So you're making a custom install image... Umm... Humm. I know RHEL has a firstboot package for that... maybe if you look at the ubuntu OEM install? That may be the way... | 19:31 |
| aeon-ltd | coreyman: there isn't one till you generate one | 19:31 |
| electronoob | Configures apache the way I would like it to, and install a web app. | 19:31 |

| coreyman | aeon-ltd with sudo Xorg -configure ? | 19:32 |

| electronoob | If I don't want to use samba what's the best way to share files between an ubuntu box and a mac ? | 19:48 |
| judgen | FTP | 19:48 |
| judgen | electronoob, FTP | 19:48 |
| roygbiv | electronoob, nfs | 19:49 |
| electronoob | Lol, I've been using sftp and scp, etc | 19:49 |
| nope | electronoob: afp always works | 19:49 |
| judgen | File Transfer Protocol or Fast Transfer Protocol depending who you ask. | 19:49 |
| Compiling | rsync is good | 19:49 |
| electronoob | I use rsync too | 19:49 |
| electronoob | But I was thinking more drag and drop | 19:49 |
| judgen | with large files FTP is unbeatable. with small files it is worse than CIFS | 19:49 |
| electronoob | Particularly for weird file names | 19:49 |
| electronoob | Like filenames with characters you have to escape | 19:50 |
| roygbiv | electronoob, use nfs | 19:50 |
| iceroot | electronoob: nfs | 19:50 |
| judgen | electronoob, there is drag and drop clients for FTP | 19:50 |
| electronoob | filezilla it is | 19:50 |
| roygbiv | export the file system on your linux box, then on your mac type "cd /net/<server>" and boom there's your filesystem | 19:50 |
| blinki | is there a better channel to ask for pulse audio help in? | 19:51 |
| judgen | roygbiv, he did not want to use CIFS | 19:51 |
| roygbiv | judgen, that is NFS | 19:51 |
| blinki | my PA worked in 9.10, now it's all jacked | 19:51 |
| gledof | vsftpd is other option | 19:51 |
| roygbiv | NFS != CIFS | 19:51 |

| gizmobay | thanks | 19:56 |
| Dr_Willis | EnterUserName: some gnome services I think. | 19:56 |
| EnterUserName | Is there a link on how to disable usb automounting in the new gnome services? | 19:56 |
| EnterUserName | ive tried everything | 19:56 |

| xingped_ | hello, i have a little problem i was hoping someone could help me with: i have a mac os x formatted drive that I have now stuck in my new desktop and i need to get some files off of it before i erase it, but somehow one of the folders i need i don't have permissions for. is there any way to change this to copy the files off the drive? | 19:59 |
| EnterUserName | ok ill look at it | 19:59 |
| Dr_Willis | xingped_: i think linux can read hfs/hfs+ but may not beable to write. | 19:59 |
| Dr_Willis | !hfs | xingped_ | 19:59 |
| ubottu | xingped_: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 19:59 |

| shikhark | DarkStar1, yes, exactly | 19:59 |
| digitalfiz | !FUSE | 19:59 |
| ubottu | FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems | 19:59 |

| kk_hacker | hello can some one tell me a proper way of mounting an external usb hard disk inside a chroot environment? | 20:00 |
| wcs | did linux read mac os X partitions? | 20:00 |
| gizmobay | judgen, thanks. Did you have to compile? | 20:00 |
| Dr_Willis | kk_hacker: you could mount it to some location befor you chroot. Or if you are going to do it in teh chroot. You need to set up /dev/ properly I belive | 20:00 |
| xingped_ | wcs: i can read, but not write, but it's just one folder I'm completely locked out of | 20:00 |

| Oer | EnterUserName, open in terminal > gconf-editor , and look for the key > /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount | 20:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Cube``: typo in the fstab line perhaps? paste the line. | 20:01 |
| kk_hacker | Dr_Willis: well my real need is that I have a local Ubuntu repo created using deb mirror. the whole thing is on an external hdd. I am remastering Ubuntu and after chrooting into the unpacked iso, I want to use this local mirror. | 20:01 |
| ddilinger | anyone know of a good method for anonymizing web access from linux/ubuntu ? | 20:02 |

| Dr_Willis | kk_hacker: theres like 3 commands i recall needing to set up a proper chroot. i just gogoled and saw them mentioned here -> http://www.debianhelp.org/node/11558 | 20:02 |
| Necrocyber | In the Firefox i just mark the opt buttons for not record | 20:03 |
| ddilinger | wcs: how do you find proxys though? my understanding is proxys generally arn't about for use by the general public | 20:03 |
| Necrocyber | but in the Firefox Ubuntu i don´t get | 20:03 |
| coreyman | nevermind, i found the location of xorg.conf it is in a different spot and named differently | 20:03 |
| DarkStar1 | shikhark: Sorry comp suddenly shut down | 20:03 |
| Dr_Willis | kk_hacker: its the info for the dev proc and sysfs. But those all might not be needed these days. its been a whild since ive done chroot work | 20:03 |
| shikhark | DarkStar1, not at all, thanks for helping | 20:03 |

| realubot | nikolaos: From the line io provided: "Service Pack1 and earlier may need to be resized from inside Vista as it sometimes stops you from being able to boot into Vista at all otherwise. There is a guide on how to recover from this but i cannot find it right now. " | 20:22 |

| nikolaos | io: I'm sure that I'm loading the right partition, but I did have suspicions that GRUB could be part of the problem. Is there a way to go back to the default Windows bootloader? | 20:23 |

| realubot | nikolaos: I have never heard of oit before and I have got a computer that without any problem dualboot Vista and Ubuntu, but due to some posts there seem to be that kind of problem in some cases. | 20:27 |
| oCean_ | xangua: not at all, just pointing out .. cut/paste his line in translate.google.com and you'll find "chinese" | 20:27 |
| nikolaos | realubot - I resized the partition from outside of the installer, but not from Vista - I did it straight from the Live CD. I did the same thing on another laptop without any problem - but it could be a fluke | 20:27 |

| bergLNX | nope, gwibbler gives me no feedback what so ever :( | 20:31 |
| yanick_ | in earlier version, it would just be a matter of setting the admin password, and voilà, but now it has become very complex (to me anyway) and poorly documented on how to do so | 20:31 |

| Dr_Willis | guest122343: the macs use intel chips but some other (EFI?) bios, so the process is nit identical to having a normal pc. But Its close to the same. | 20:37 |
| realubot | nikolaos: This seem to be excactly you kind of problem: "grub shouldn't touch vista but if you resized your vista partition with GParted (in the installer) it might have affected the vista settings. it's possible GRUB is trying to boot to the recovery partition rather than the real Vista partition. unfortunately without some kind of partition list, i can't really say..." | 20:37 |

| P67 | Dr_Willis: It's possible to install an EFI extension via the Mac interface called rEFIt. Using that you can install anything you like | 20:38 |

| realubot | nikolaos: "That happens when Vista gets corrupted by resizing with anything other than it's own partitioning tools." | 20:38 |
| Dr_Willis | P67: I plan on never buying a mac. :) so i will never know. | 20:38 |
| P67 | guest122343: nothing happens as it is normally a not supported OS to boot form EFI | 20:38 |
| Dr_Willis | I_iz_nuts[o_0]: it all depends on your needsx and pc specs. | 20:38 |
| alextybob | hi, can you install ubuntu onto a ntfs drive? | 20:38 |
| trism | hylian: it is in the partner repo | 20:38 |
| io | I_iz_nuts[o_0]: You're in the Ubuntu support channel, obviously the majority of users here use Ubuntu. | 20:39 |
| trism | !partner | hylian | 20:39 |
| ubottu | hylian: 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" » | 20:39 |
| alextybob | can you install ubuntu onto a ntfs drive? | 20:39 |
| Dr_Willis | alextybob: wubi can install ubuntu 'inside' windows. but thats not quite the same. So i would say 'no' to your question. | 20:39 |
| alextybob | i'm using ubuntu live usb at the moment | 20:39 |
| alextybob | and i want to install it fully from ubuntu | 20:39 |
| guest122343 | P67: Ok, so it would leave me with an unsusable machine. Good to know. Thanks! | 20:39 |
| imetaphysikz | alextybob:yes i'm pretty sure you can | 20:39 |
| io | I_iz_nuts[o_0]: On the other hand, it depends on your requirements (how freequent you require updates and support) as well as machine specifications, maybe ##linux is better suited for your question? | 20:39 |
| bergLNX | imetaphysikz: hehe, yeah, everything is correct but nothing works :/ oh well | 20:39 |
| Dr_Willis | alextybob: you want to resize the windows aprittions then. windows can resize them also. and may be faster at the task then the ubuntu installer. | 20:39 |
| io | guest122343: What Mac is it? | 20:40 |
| Dr_Willis | alextybob: in any case. You proberly want to backup anything imporntant First. befor installing | 20:40 |
| nikolaos | realubot - here's the "fdisk -l" output - http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=MbSrn8Yp | 20:40 |
| hylian | thank you doctor, trism and ubottu! | 20:40 |
| realubot | nikolaos: I think you may have to repair the Vista installation if you resized the Vista partition wihout using it's own tools: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-gparted-to-resize-your-windows-vista-partition/ | 20:40 |
| Dr_Willis | nikolaos: thats a windows 7 setup? | 20:40 |
| guest122343 | io: None, sortof. I was looking to buy a macbook, maybe. | 20:40 |
| nikolaos | Dr_Willis - Vista | 20:41 |
| I_iz_nuts[o_0] | IO:well ya! Im not ASKING if you USE the os,im asking WHY it is better | 20:41 |
| I_iz_nuts[o_0] | or not | 20:41 |
| P67 | guest122343: No it won't leave you with an unusable machine. I suggst you check out rEFIt either way. It's a nice thing really. You can still boot MacOSX. You just gain an other sort of "boot loader" at the start to choose to go through to MacOSX' bootloader or load ubuntu on an other partition | 20:41 |
| io | guest122343: You were looking to buy a MacBook to run a single-OS of Ubuntu on it? :-) | 20:41 |
| alextybob | i don't care about booting from windows so i don't need to make a partition i just want to know if you can install ubuntu from a usb without formatting | 20:41 |
| === toby is now known as Guest71270 | ||
| Dr_Willis | nikolaos: Hmm. i wonder if that first partition 'unknown' is the restore partition. Ive seen them in differnt places | 20:41 |
| io | I_iz_nuts[o_0]: Instead of reading the website? | 20:41 |
| realubot | nikolaos: have you tried to go thorugh the recovery in Vista? maybe you will have to repair the Vista installation because GParted somehow destroyed the Vista system. | 20:41 |
| nikolaos | realubot - the other file doesn't work in my command prompt | 20:41 |
| maco | I_iz_nuts[o_0]: this is more a discussion for #ubuntu-offtopic. could you take it there please? | 20:41 |
| P67 | guest122343: I however suggest you don't use a macbook for ubuntu. As MacOSX (imho ;)) is a better OS | 20:41 |
| guest122343 | io: yes. I hate mac | 20:41 |
| Dr_Willis | alextybob: alextybob install where? You install to a 'partition' doing a normal install you resize your existing partitions or use unallocated space. a WUBI install 'installs' to a file on the windows drive. | 20:42 |
| Guest71270 | Under power settings it says "Spin down hard disks when possible". Isn't that a bit vague? How long will it wait? Mine's still spinning after about 15 minutes... | 20:42 |
| io | guest122343: Why would you fork out $2,000+ for MacBook when you are not going to utilize their OS? | 20:42 |
| realubot | nikolaos: Ok, nevermind, but I think it seem like your vista installation got hurt by the resizing using gParted. | 20:42 |
| * P67 sobs at all the mac haters :( He obviously loves the macports and autoconf/make :) | 20:42 | |
| alextybob | ok | 20:42 |
| nikolaos | Dr_Willis - Not sure, I can check to see what is in that folder | 20:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest71270: I only notice my usb hard drives spinning down. I never seen my / spin down. | 20:42 |
| guest122343 | io: Its a nice piece of hardware, for the most part | 20:42 |
| realubot | nikolaos: You should use the Vista tool for resizing what I can understand. I suggest reapiring the Vista installtion using recover option then it may work again. | 20:43 |
| alextybob | is there a program for a wubi install off of ubuntu live usb? | 20:43 |
| Dr_Willis | nikolaos: you could try booting each of the other partitions to see what ones are what. :) | 20:43 |
| nikolaos | Realubot - I might go ahead and do the restore process - is there a risk of losing Ubuntu when I do that? | 20:43 |
| Dr_Willis | alextybob: wubi is on the cd.. i dont reccomend usiong wubi however. ifyou want to test out ubuntu. try it in Virtualbox | 20:43 |
| io | guest122343: You said Mac Pro earlier, you meant MacBook Pro? In that case it _runs_, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro. | 20:43 |
| alextybob | i can't find it | 20:43 |
| Dr_Willis | alextybob: to do wubi. boot to windows. Pop in cd.. | 20:43 |

| imetaphysikz | when intergrated with AD | 20:44 |
| Dr_Willis | alextybob: Then you do a normal ubuntu install then I guess if you want ubuntu. | 20:44 |
| Guest71270 | Dr_Willis: This is a secondary HD connected via PATA. I can spin it down manually with hdparm, but the gui option doesnt' seem to do much | 20:44 |
| alextybob | but i don't want to format | 20:44 |
| alextybob | and i'm not getting the side by side option | 20:45 |
| Dr_Willis | alextybob: you RESIZE ... your use of the term 'format' is vague. | 20:45 |
| realubot | nikolaos: They repair the Vista installation after they have resized the partition using gParted. You may have to do that too. | 20:45 |
| Dr_Willis | alextybob: you will ahve several different partitions on teh HD. one for windows, and a few for Linux. | 20:45 |
| alextybob | ok | 20:45 |

| io | _2: How are you so far behind? :-) | 20:52 |
| aretrfre34 | xangua:no, gimp icons looks crappy on desktop | 20:52 |
| _2 | Dr_Willis it's the only chance i have at getting there on this box... so it's either stay with dapper or try it... | 20:52 |
| Dr_Willis | alextybob: if you use the usb-creator tool. and the ubuntu iso file. You can make one have a persistant save file on it. and save changes. but 2gb is going to be very tiny | 20:52 |
| _2 | io behind what ? :) | 20:52 |
| io | _2: Releases? | 20:53 |
| Dr_Willis | _2: move hd to another machine.. install.. put it back.. | 20:53 |
| alextybob | could i put the save file on the hard drive on the computer and get the flash drive to use that? | 20:53 |
| Dr_Willis | alextybob: i dont think it works that way | 20:53 |
| alextybob | can you get it to? | 20:53 |
| _2 | Dr_Willis other machine is 40 miles near | 20:53 |
| aretrfre34 | aretrfre34:hello | 20:54 |
| aretrfre34 | anyone uses netbook edition? | 20:54 |
| realubot | chadi: Try to boot your own computer using the same flash drive. The flash drive may have been wrongly created. Sometimes I must recreate a flash drive to make it work as it should booting Ubuntu. | 20:55 |
| Dr_Willis | _2: I see a long drive in your future. :) | 20:55 |
| _2 | io like i said behind what... :) but, to actually answer, it's simple. i don't like to play the "has to be current" game. i don't have the bandwidth to play that game. i only use LTS releases... and last but not least, if it aint broke don't fix it. | 20:55 |
| alextybob | where do i find the usb creator tool Dr_Willis? | 20:55 |
| _2 | Dr_Willis heh. probably | 20:55 |
| mikebot | I am trying to do an online help chat (Time warner internet), and it says I need Windows+IE or OS10 or higher. Is there a way I can trick them? | 20:55 |
| Dr_Willis | alextybob: its un the menus system -> admin -> | 20:55 |
| alextybob | what is its actual name? | 20:56 |
| chadi | realubot: yeah, it worked fine | 20:56 |
| abhi_nav | alex__c2022, USB Disk creator | 20:56 |
| abhi_nav | alextybob, , USB Disk creator | 20:56 |
| Dr_Willis | alextybob: the liogically named 'usb disk creator' | 20:56 |
| realubot | chadi: I have had the problem severl times. One time it was due to a graphics setting in BIOS (a "Vista thing") and other times I think it has to du with the graphics card of the computer you are trying to boot into. | 20:56 |
| Dr_Willis | alextybob: did you even look befor asking? :) | 20:56 |
| chadi | realubot: one more point, my friend's laptop is very recent, could it be some new drivers? | 20:56 |
| alextybob | i haven't got that anywhere | 20:57 |
| Dr_Willis | alextybob: and what version of ubuntu are you using? | 20:57 |
| aretrfre34 | who knows how to change icons in ubuntu-netbook? | 20:57 |
| chadi | realubot: is it a USB-related thing, or would the same behavior occur with a live cd? | 20:57 |
| idlemind | any mysql guru's available to tell me a way in a bash script to check if a database exists. if it doesn't exis then create it | 20:57 |
| justifier | evening guys | 20:58 |
| realubot | chadi: Yes, it problably could. I hav ehad problems getting Ubuntu to work on a very new laptop, but I don't really know what the problem is. You could of course google the laptop model and Ubuntu problem. Some other persons may have had the same problem as you do | 20:58 |
| alextybob | i'm using version 10.04 | 20:58 |
| realubot | chadi: What is the model of the laptop? | 20:58 |
| Dr_Willis | chadi: with 'very new' laptops ive also had issues.. but normally they get fixed by the next release. | 20:58 |
| chadi | realubot: thank you :) it's a new toshiba | 20:58 |
| mikebot | I am trying to do an online help chat (Time warner internet), and it says I need Windows+IE or OS10 or higher. Is there a way I can trick them? | 20:58 |

| ubottu | justifier: 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! | 20:58 |
| Dr_Willis | alextybob: then somthign is weird. as far as i kniow that tool is on the live cd's ive used. | 20:59 |
| chadi | realubot: but I don't know the exact model cause the laptop isn't mine and I don't have it right now | 20:59 |
| realubot | chadi: You could try to boot from another USB port. I suppose the computer has got more than one USB-port. Try another one just to be sure. | 20:59 |
| Dr_Willis | alextybob: you could run it from terminal -> gksudo usb-creator-gtk | 20:59 |
| chadi | realubot: good point, haven't thought of it | 20:59 |
| alextybob | if i download the iso can i install it that way from ubuntu onto a usb? | 20:59 |
| slinker1 | mikebot: tried user agent switcher plugin ? | 20:59 |
| Dr_Willis | alextybob: that tool MUST have an iso file to use. | 20:59 |
| aretrfre34 | realubot:how to change icons in ubuntu-netbook to custom ones | 21:00 |
| mikebot | slinker1: No, how do I do that? | 21:00 |
| DarkStar1 | I asked this earlier but got no response; does ubuntu log shutdowns and their causes? | 21:00 |
| Dr_Willis | alextybob: how did you make a bootable usb flash drive to begin with? | 21:00 |
| _2 | E: Unable to parse package file /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_lucid_main_binary-i386_Packages (1) | 21:00 |
| mikebot | slinker1: I'm currently using chrome... is that a browser plugin? | 21:00 |
| alextybob | i used unetbootini | 21:00 |
| realubot | chadi: It may be due to the USB ports. A friend had a laptop that didn't handla his cam but the cam worked just fine at my computer using the exactly same version of Ubuntu and the cam worked on his computer using Windows. | 21:00 |
| _2 | first problem ^ | 21:00 |
| realubot | aretrfre34: Do you want to change all icons? | 21:00 |
| Dr_Willis | alextybob: check the pendrivelinux site. they have some guides on converting a unetbootin 'setup' to a persistant save setup. But with a 2gb flash drive. You wont have much space to save anything | 21:01 |
| aretrfre34 | realubot:no just one | 21:01 |
| justifier | i am trying to route port 8025 to 25 using iptables http://www.pastebin.org/387766 is what i am getting | 21:01 |
| * Dr_Willis wishes unetbootin would add that 'persistant save' feature. | 21:01 | |
| alextybob | i have an ntfs hard drive that ubuntu recognises so it's cool | 21:01 |
| mneptok | mikebot: do they want IE on the Mac as well? | 21:01 |
| _2 | io Dr_Willis does that look normal, or system wrecking ? | 21:01 |
| chadi | realubot: great, will try all these suggestions as soon as I get my hands on this laptop again :D | 21:01 |
| Dr_Willis | _2: no idea. I normally do clean reinstalls. :) | 21:01 |
| _2 | E: Unable to parse package file /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_lucid_main_binary-i386_Packages (1) | 21:02 |
| * DarkStar1 wonders if anyone noticed his plea | 21:02 | |
| realubot | aretrfre34: Ok, I don't really know but I think all icons are stored somewhere like in .icons or something. Find the directory conataining icons and you may be able to replace them amnually. | 21:02 |
| realubot | *manually | 21:02 |
| Dr_Willis | DarkStar1: not that ive ever noticed. | 21:02 |
| mneptok | mikebot: OK, it's useless and will not work on anything except Windows. "If you have difficulty installing the chat controls, please check your ActiveX security settings." | 21:02 |
| _2 | that from apt-get update so it's already telling me there is a change in archive foo | 21:02 |
| mikebot | mneptok: https://supportcenter.timewarnercable.com/sdcxuser/lachat/user/minimumreqs.asp | 21:02 |
| Dr_Willis | DarkStar1: you could ssh in from a different box and watch the dmesg /var/log/messages amd see what it says when it crashes | 21:02 |
| realubot | chadi: I don't if it does work but it may be worth a try at least. The booting problem be due to a lot of things I think. | 21:03 |
| mikebot | mneptok: So I can't use it? | 21:03 |
| slinker1 | mikebot: oh its a plugin for firfox | 21:03 |
| mneptok | mikebot: https://www.timewarnercable.com/corporate/support/chat/chat.ashx | 21:03 |
| Melodist | Hello, can anyone here help me with plymouth? I'm running the latest Nvidia drivers(253?), and on linux mint the boot screen doesnt look quite right and I sometimes boot into low graphics mode. On Kubuntu it loads fine but I only see the splash screen for a few seconds, the rest of the time everything's black | 21:03 |
| DarkStar1 | Dr_Willis: Thanks. It didn't crash it just suddenly shutdown (Not switch off) | 21:03 |
| chadi | yeah | 21:03 |
| realubot | chadi: Maybe you shall try booting a Live CD from cdrom too just to be sure. | 21:03 |
| mneptok | mikebot: just phone them | 21:03 |
| chadi | realubot: will do :) thank you | 21:04 |
| mneptok | Melodist: we do not support Mint here | 21:04 |
| Melodist | The partition that boots into low graphics mode is running gnome | 21:04 |
| realubot | chadi: If neither USB or CD works then I think it has do to the graphics card or the setting of it in BIOS. | 21:04 |
| jetsaredim | is there a way to adjust the audio offset in totem? | 21:04 |
| mneptok | !mintsupport | Melodist | 21:04 |
| ubottu | Melodist: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 21:04 |
| slinker1 | mikebot: works with firefox and useragent switchser set to ie 7 | 21:04 |
| alextybob | Dr_Willis sorry for being so useless but can you try and find me the tutorial as i can't find it anywhere | 21:04 |
| realubot | chadi: There are also a lot of possibilities to change the way Ubuntu shall boot from the Live CD menu, but I don't really know the options. You can't set some different options at te Live Cd menu that change how Ubuntu Live shall try to boot. | 21:05 |
| Melodist | I've asked in linux mint, and there were solutions but none of them worked for me; that's why i thought i'd ask here. the problem isn't linux mint's anyway, it's plymouth | 21:05 |
| mikebot | mneptok: Haha, I hate waiting | 21:05 |
| Dr_Willis | alextybob: Not really. I have now been up for 22+ hrs.. so am ready to go to bed. | 21:05 |
| mikebot | slinker1: Thanks! | 21:05 |
| Melodist | But ah well, all right then | 21:05 |
| Dr_Willis | alextybob: what are you even going to do once you have a persistant save/setup? 2gb is going to be to small to do much of anything. | 21:05 |
| alextybob | fair enough man | 21:05 |
| mattperry1976 | can anyone help with getting files saved during a live usb session? | 21:06 |
| alextybob | nothing much really | 21:06 |
| alextybob | just peruse the internet | 21:06 |
| alextybob | nothing major | 21:06 |
| === jeff_ is now known as Guest9025 | ||
| Dr_Willis | alextybob: id say a 4gb flash drive min.. 8gb for a useable setup. | 21:06 |
| Dr_Willis | alextybob: the basics of it is basically just making a casperrw file on the root of the pendrive. and edit the proper syslinuxcfg file. but that may be over your head. :) | 21:06 |
| alextybob | yeah, a little bit | 21:07 |
| Dr_Willis | alextybob: there are tools for windows that can do the setup if you got a windows box + tjhe iso file. | 21:07 |
| nicofs | can anyone troubleshoot my 3G-(not-)connection? All I get is "Disconnected - you are now offline." I deleted the connection. set it up anew. I rebooted. I used various providers - and yes I have coverage where I am right now. | 21:07 |
| Dr_Willis | alextybob: that Pendrivelinux web site - has the tools for that also. | 21:07 |
| alextybob | any recommended tools? | 21:07 |
| Dr_Willis | alextybob: or just do a normal install to the hard drive and be done with it. | 21:08 |
| r0zz | hi somebody knows a tool for block my usb for write | 21:08 |
| cutiyar | who used scalpel recovery software before? | 21:08 |
| mattperry1976 | I gave a buddy a usb live install of ubuntu 10.04...they used the 'try ubuntu' option and saved stuff into the picture folder, then chose to do a permanent install on the laptop and are now trying to recover the pictures from their live session | 21:08 |
| Dr_Willis | r0zz: clarify what you are asking | 21:08 |
| aombk_ | hi i have a question regarding ubuntu recognizing my systems memory. shall i shoot in here or is there a somewhat specific channel? | 21:08 |
| realubot | aretrfre34: You did use netbook edition didn't you? I suppose you have tried to right click and then choose something like properties? | 21:09 |
| r0zz | i only want read from my usb | 21:09 |
| DarkStar1 | Dr_Willis: I believe he want to make his USB pen drive Readonly | 21:09 |
| r0zz | i have information in this information dont want to modify | 21:09 |

| Dr_Willis | aombk_: theres this common guide on linux/ram -> www.linuxatemyram.com | 21:10 |

| Oer | alextybob, you are running ubuntu live via usb now, you typed > 21:43 i'm using ubuntu at the moment off of a live usb , so what is the problem ? | 21:10 |
| DarkStar1 | aombk_: Shoot away | 21:10 |
| Dr_Willis | r0zz: i would suggest making backups of the improntant stuff.. | 21:10 |
| judgen | Does noone have a default .gtkrc-2.0* tat i could use? | 21:10 |
| alextybob | yeah | 21:10 |
| Dr_Willis | judgen: the default.. is an empty file last i checked... | 21:11 |

| jrib | aombk_: does your bios see 4? | 21:11 |
| aombk_ | yes | 21:12 |

| alextybob | can i do a normal install without deleting all my stuff off of the ubuntu live cd? | 21:12 |
| justifier | i am trying to route port 8025 to 25 using iptables http://www.pastebin.org/387766 is what i am getting | 21:12 |
| alextybob | off of the hard drive een | 21:12 |
| alextybob | even* | 21:12 |
| Dr_Willis | judgen: huh? what problem? | 21:12 |
| judgen | jrib, it does not due to the gnome sesion manager, but if you do not have that, you need the gtkrc file just as in kde3 | 21:13 |
| Dr_Willis | alextybob: for the 12th time. the installer can RESIZE your existing windows partitions. | 21:13 |
| alextybob | :) | 21:13 |
| blain | is synaptic the package manager for gnome? | 21:13 |
| alextybob | ok, how do i do that? | 21:13 |
| Dr_Willis | alextybob: it shrinks windows.. and installs to its own partitions. | 21:13 |
| DarkStar1 | aombk_: 32bit handles just a little over 3GB to see the full 4GB switch to 64bit | 21:13 |
| judgen | Dr_Willis, in non-compilant WM's i need it to be able to sue the themes | 21:13 |
| judgen | set* | 21:13 |
| Dr_Willis | alextybob: follow the installer qiestions. | 21:13 |
| Dr_Willis | judgen: what themes? im totally lost here. :) | 21:14 |
| alextybob | i have either erase and use entire disk or specify partitions manually | 21:14 |
| Dr_Willis | !manual | alextybob | 21:14 |
| ubottu | alextybob: 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/ | 21:14 |
| judgen | Dr_Willis, in KDE3 they use a gtkrc-2.0-qt and that will work too | 21:14 |
| judgen | any gtkrc file will be fine | 21:14 |
| blain | alextybob you can resize with the kubuntu cd | 21:14 |
| judgen | Dr_Willis, any theme | 21:14 |
| aombk_ | DarkStar1, but i am using the pae kernel. isnt this what it is for? | 21:14 |
| Dr_Willis | judgen: my .gtkrc-2.0 file has 1 line in it. (used by rox-filer) --> gtk-can-change-accels = 1 thats about it. | 21:15 |
| GlobalPR | |GNAA| - find out more @ www.gnaa.eu | 21:15 |
| alextybob | i can't use a cd as i don't have a working drive | 21:15 |
| Dr_Willis | judgen: other then that - ive never seen any other .gtkrc-2.0 files/settings used by anything. | 21:15 |
| judgen | aombk_, the PAE kernel should support up to several TB, but will suffer some performance loss | 21:15 |
| nicofs | can anyone troubleshoot my 3G-(not-)connection? All I get is "Disconnected - you are now offline." I deleted the connection. set it up anew. I rebooted. I used various providers - and yes I have coverage where I am right now. | 21:15 |
| DarkStar1 | The what?? Kernel?? I'm sorry I don't know about linux specific kernels but I could find out if you give me a link | 21:15 |
| GlobalPR | |GNAA| - find out more @ www.gnaa.eu | 21:15 |

| alextybob | yeah my windows partition is goofed up | 21:16 |
| GlobalPR | rww: |GNAA| - find out more @ www.gnaa.eu | 21:16 |
| aombk_ | judgen, thats ok. is there something i need to do in order for ubuntu to recognize the extra GB of ram i installed after installing ubuntu? | 21:16 |
| blain | aombk_ The Linux kernel includes full PAE mode support starting with version 2.3.23 enabling access of up to 64 GB of memory on 32-bit machines however a PAE-enabled Linux-kernel requires that the CPU also support PAE. :) | 21:16 |
| Dr_Willis | alextybob: perhaps you should try to fix that first. Or just delete it :) | 21:17 |
| aretrfre34 | realubot:so what with ICON? | 21:17 |

| hylian | if any of you had anything to do with ubuntu 10.04, my hats off to you. awesome os. beautifully done, exceptionally functional. | 21:27 |
| xorwhy | I want bitpim 1.0.7, but only 1.0.6 is available for ubuntu | 21:28 |
| mneptok | s3r3n1t7: please don't /notice me. it's extremely poor form. | 21:28 |
| Dr_Willis | xorwhy: find a PPA for it. or recompile from source is one way to upgrade it | 21:28 |
| xorwhy | I know compiling from source won't work. | 21:29 |
| guntbert | DarkStar1: not pish posh - of course they are useful - but everyone who uses one should be aware that there *is* some risk | 21:29 |
| s3r3n1t7 | mneptok, i would approach you in offtopic, where you are not. PM'ing is even poorer form, and it is offtopic here. What do you propose then? | 21:29 |
| G_G | guntbert: dude i live for that chance | 21:29 |
| xorwhy | Compiling things from source never, ever, ever, ever works, unless it's an application I didn't really care for when I compiled it, in these cases compiling works fine. | 21:29 |
| G_G | DarkStar1: iv done the updates now what? | 21:30 |
| mneptok | s3r3n1t7: ask first. or /j #ubuntu-ops to discuss op issues. | 21:30 |

| sklav | i got a quick question | 21:32 |
| sklav | has anybody else noticed when you do ping from command line the slow response | 21:32 |
| sklav | aka refreshing on screen | 21:32 |
| sklav | example ping www.google.com | 21:33 |

| MaddTechWF | Can someone help me with my issue. I've got samba setup to where I can see my shared HD's on my Windows box but when i try to browse it, I don't get anything. | 21:34 |
| xorwhy | Dr_Willis: This is not the first time this has happened. I am on the PPA page, and some dependency file is downloadable as a .deb, but the binary package itself is nowhere to be found | 21:34 |
| xorwhy | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bitpim/1.0.7+dfsg1-1/+build/1722614 | 21:34 |
| guntbert | DarkStar1: ok ok - I didn't want to make a big issue of that :-) (sorry if it sounded that way) | 21:34 |
| DarkStar1 | guntbert: Np dude. An assumption I make (Yes I know assumptions are the mother of all......) is that whoever chooses to run open source has agreed to leave the cotton ball handling of windows and therefore know that choosing to run the system itself involves risks | 21:37 |

| Cube`` | iksf: what you mean update? | 21:40 |
| guntbert | DarkStar1: yet there is a distintion between software that was tested and is supported here (the ubuntu repos) and such which comes from essentially untrusted sources - mind you I didn't say "don't recommend ppas" ... | 21:40 |

| guntbert | !root | bob_ | 21:40 |
| ubottu | bob_: 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 | 21:40 |
| iksf | Cube``:sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get remove pitivi, sudo apt-get install pitivi | 21:40 |

| Cube`` | iksf: yeah did | 21:41 |
| guntbert | !sudo | bob_ | 21:41 |
| ubottu | bob_: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 21:41 |

| jerel | my laptop screen flashes multi-colored (kinda like static) once in a while. Any idea why it would do that? I'm running lynx on a new Dell 1545 | 21:42 |
| iksf | Cube``:yup | 21:42 |
| Scunizi | sklav: understood.. and the application of it is going into beta for my job association.. I'm just being hopeful.. running windows in a vm works but I'd just rather not have to if it's not needed. | 21:42 |
| DarkStar1 | guntbert: That is true. but in this case the ppa I recomemended comes from the Hardware manufacturers themselves. The situation regarding PPA shouldn't be taken in such Black and white context. I would assume the hardware manufacturers have a vested interest in ensuring the functionality of their hardware | 21:43 |

| askhader | Then best of luck, sir. | 23:23 |
| Plasma | Ok, thanks. | 23:23 |
| Dupper | I wasnt here when I was responded to :( I had disconnected... sorry about the msg | 23:23 |
| askhader | Plasma: Come back here if you have any issues. | 23:24 |
| Gryllida | Plasma: it would give the 'corrupt cd' warning, I've never heard about taking installation files from Internet, but how do you know that it really can't read some files from cd? | 23:24 |
| trojan_spike | internet USB ?? what u mean?? | 23:24 |
| bob_ | why is it dumb to run xchat as root? | 23:24 |
| askhader | Gryllida: Never heard of Gentoo? | 23:24 |
| slidinghorn | Dupper, ok..well unfortunately I was not able to find a solution. Sorry =\ | 23:24 |
| Plasma | Gryllida: It said it some directory didn't exist or something. | 23:24 |
| Dupper | OH! That was it, yeah I got that, thought there was something else. | 23:24 |
| Plasma | -it* | 23:24 |
| askhader | bob_: securiteh | 23:24 |
| Dupper | I bet no one here uses a USB port to access the internet lol | 23:24 |
| s3r3n1t7 | bob_, if something manages to break through xchat, it will have full access to your system instead of just your account. | 23:24 |
| Plasma | It was at 60% when it failed. | 23:24 |
| bob_ | o, right | 23:24 |
| Gryllida | Plasma, tried to run the install one more time? if same, then burn another cd. | 23:25 |
| trojan_spike | i used usb dongle | 23:25 |
| Agu10_ | askhader, I think only one :( | 23:25 |
| Dupper | Isn't it dumb to run anything as root? | 23:25 |
| bihari | nops | 23:25 |
| tjor | Dupper I do | 23:25 |
| askhader | Gryllida: Some packages are not essential for booting | 23:25 |
| LjL | bob_: it's dumb to run any application as root that doesn't need root. however, it's especially dumb to run applications that access the internet as root, because then someone else who knows about bugs in the application (and there are always such bugs) could exploit them to gain *full*, and not just limited, access to your system. | 23:25 |
| BluesKaj | bob_: it's not xchat as root , running any internet app as root is insecure | 23:25 |
| Gryllida | Plasma, do a mechanical clean up of cd drive as well | 23:25 |
| Dupper | trojan... that is basically what this is | 23:25 |
| askhader | Gryllida: He can just grab them after. | 23:25 |
| Dupper | what driver did you use for the USB dongle? | 23:25 |
| Plasma | Ah. | 23:25 |
| bihari | when i type m its showing the same | 23:25 |
| LjL | Dupper: no, or root wouldn't exist | 23:25 |
| trojan_spike | so whats your problem m8? | 23:25 |
| Dupper | LjL: Sorry, I oversimplified. | 23:25 |
| bob_ | thanks for the tons of answers | 23:25 |
| Gryllida | bihari: did you see the font dropdown? | 23:25 |
| Plasma | I've been having all sorts of problems installing Kubuntu, I think it has something to do with my power saving settings. | 23:26 |
| askhader | Plasma: As long as you get the core libs, you can download the packages later. aptitude has support for this. | 23:26 |
| BluesKaj | !root | bob | 23:26 |
| ubottu | bob: 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 | 23:26 |
| bihari | dropdown? | 23:26 |
| bob_ | lol apparently thats a big problem | 23:26 |
| Dupper | trojan_spike, I can't get an internet connection via USB. :( | 23:26 |
| LjL | BluesKaj: perhaps you wanted !rootirc? | 23:26 |
| Shiba | thanks! | 23:26 |
| Gryllida | bihari: selection box for fonts, did you see it in edit profile prefs window? | 23:26 |
| trojan_spike | o2, voda ?? | 23:26 |
| askhader | lol | 23:26 |
| `blackmk4`linux | my box rebooted last night onto the new kernel, it's a headless server | 23:26 |
| Plasma | Eh, can I hide join/parts/quits with irssi? | 23:26 |
| BluesKaj | LjL: yeah , that's it | 23:26 |
| Galaxor | I figured out what I did wrong. The directory /etc/apt/preferences.d existed, so I made a file called /etc/apt/preferences.d/proposed.conf and put my pin-priorities in there. Apparently, I see that you have to put these prefs into /etc/apt/preferences itself. | 23:26 |
| oddtod | how do i restart samba i used to use "/etc/init.d/smb restart" but thats not working | 23:26 |
| `blackmk4`linux | now i have to manually login to the box before it will accept connections of any kind | 23:27 |
| LjL | !quietirssi | Plasma | 23:27 |
| ubottu | Plasma: To ignore joins, parts, quits in irssi: /ignore #ubuntu +JOINS +PARTS +QUITS | 23:27 |
| `blackmk4`linux | wtf | 23:27 |
| Dupper | Oh well. | 23:27 |
| Plasma | Ok, thanks. :) | 23:27 |
| askhader | `blackmk4`linux So like ssh you mean? | 23:27 |
| askhader | np | 23:27 |
| `blackmk4`linux | yeah and the http service | 23:27 |
| bihari | well i have editing profile | 23:27 |
| luksion | oddtod: use /etc/init.d/smbd restart | 23:27 |
| bob_ | i need to access root to install a driver, but i cant use terminal, so is there a way in terminal to set the root password to something ill remember? | 23:27 |
| Dupper | worth a shot. Guess I'll have to get a wireless adapter for my PC or my Xbox. | 23:28 |
| bihari | i have no of option general titel and commands colors | 23:28 |
| dtownhero | bob_: passwd _yourpasshere_ | 23:28 |
| bob_ | thanks man | 23:28 |
| bihari | ? | 23:28 |
| dtownhero | may need to run as sudo - I don't know what you're doing. | 23:28 |
| bihari | what to do next? | 23:28 |
| askhader | `blackmk4`linux: Interesting. service ssh restart | 23:28 |
| askhader | What does that spit? | 23:28 |
| slidinghorn | !patience | bihari | 23:28 |
| ubottu | bihari: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 23:28 |
| `blackmk4`linux | it works as soon as i login to the box physically | 23:28 |
| `blackmk4`linux | but not before that | 23:29 |
| bastidrazor | bob_: use sudo instead of trying access the root account. | 23:29 |
| Dupper | Oh how I wish this stupid modem had 23 ethernet jacks | 23:29 |
| Dupper | thanks again slidinghorn | 23:29 |
| bastidrazor | bob_: also, why can't you use terminal? | 23:29 |
| askhader | `blackmk4`linux: Do you actually have to 'start' ssh ? | 23:29 |
| `blackmk4`linux | no | 23:29 |
| askhader | o.o | 23:29 |
| askhader | Bizarre | 23:29 |
| `blackmk4`linux | yeah, it's the new kernel i think | 23:29 |
| `blackmk4`linux | wtf | 23:29 |
| bob_ | because i need to type it in a text box in the driver windo | 23:29 |
| lxsys | Dupper: for 23 jacks use a switch | 23:30 |
| askhader | `blackmk4`linux: did you look at dmesg? | 23:30 |

| dtownhero | `blackmk4`linux: try telnet host SSHPORT | 23:30 |
| dtownhero | see if the port is open | 23:30 |
| bob_ | its saying user root doesnt exist | 23:31 |
| `blackmk4`linux | it has a lot of stuff about operation="profile_load+ | 23:31 |
| Agan_squiddy | is it safe to remove the default ubuntu softwares like: gwibber, ubuntu one, fspot, empathy, gnome dict, evolution, etc etc? | 23:31 |

| Sam_Fisher | T3CHKOMMIE, are they ubnutu switches? | 23:32 |

| sebsebseb | Hi | 23:34 |
| Agan_squiddy | rautamiekka, so that is not a recommended thing to do even if i never use them? i mean just leave em untouched, unused ? | 23:34 |

| Gryllida | sebsebseb: Morning! | 23:35 |
| FabParma | I found on my kernel list "Linux 2.6.32-23-generic-pae"? I am sure that I am not intentionally installed this kernel. How its possible that its present on my pc? | 23:36 |
| askhader | FabParma: Automatic updates will do this. | 23:36 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: Not morning here. | 23:36 |
| soporte | holaaa | 23:36 |
| rautamiekka | Agan_squiddy: Exactly. I wanted to decrease the space usage by uninstalling useless Ubuntu's dependencies. Worked to some point and later not even logon in command line environment was possible. | 23:36 |
| kojack | how do i type in her | 23:36 |
| kojack | and what is this all about | 23:36 |
| kojack | i will leave this up and wait for responses | 23:37 |

| slidinghorn | sebsebseb, I was pointing up to the line that said welcome back...my finger slipped | 23:37 |
| Agan_squiddy | rautamiekka, lol i'll just leave em sleep on my HDD. i think :D thanks for the suggesions. | 23:37 |
| kojack | topic | 23:38 |
| rautamiekka | FabParma: Ubuntu installer thought it was best to install that and let you install "better" one. Happens to me also. | 23:38 |
| sebsebseb | slidinghorn: ok and thanks for the wb :) | 23:38 |
| askhader | FabParma: Fault? Installing an updated kernel is a feature. | 23:38 |
| Oer | FabParma, this kernel pae does help 4gb+ on a 32 bit ubuntu | 23:38 |
| kojack | ok | 23:38 |
| Sego | Is there a program manager like Digsby, that can be used with Lucid Lynx? | 23:38 |
| kojack | i can ask my jolicloud questions here | 23:38 |

| Gryllida | Sego: aapplications - software center | 23:39 |

| Gryllida | (in gnome) | 23:39 |
| Gryllida | !Digsby | 23:39 |
| Gryllida | .oops | 23:39 |
| slidinghorn | Sego, digsby isn't a program manager, it's an instant messaging/social media app. gwibber or empathy might be good for you | 23:39 |
| kojack | oh ok | 23:39 |
| rautamiekka | oka: I were telling him my experience, if you thought I had the problem. | 23:39 |
| Sego | Gryllida,kojack: It's a prgram that you set up all your account in. | 23:40 |
| FabParma | Oer: ok, but synaptic does not told me if i want or not. in more i have 3gb of ram ... | 23:40 |
| Gryllida | Hello, why do any NEW files I save to a windows share show 'access denied' warning when that Windows user tries to open them, while me just editing existing files does not make any problems? | 23:40 |
| BluesKaj | !gwibber | 23:40 |
| Gryllida | Sego: ok | 23:40 |
| Gryllida | !empathy | 23:40 |
| ubottu | Empathy is the default instant messaging and video client for GNOME. Since Karmic, it has been the default client in Ubuntu, replacing !pidgin | 23:40 |

| coz_ | Plasma, as it says it is most likely a bad cd | 23:44 |
| coz_ | Plasma, did you run the check cd option | 23:45 |
| askhader | You can of course try to fix this by hand. | 23:45 |

| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 23:53 |
| Jordan_U | Mehtrala: And it's a great way to wear out your flash drive. | 23:53 |

| askhader | Agu10_: Hardly. | 23:53 |
| Agu10_ | WinIdiots can't use the terminal | 23:53 |

| deco | makish: does it just stop responding ? or it just slow | 23:56 |
| askhader | actionParsnip: Perfect backdoor, that's the issue. | 23:56 |
| askhader | maco: Perhaps you are, sir. | 23:56 |
| GuerreroPorVeni | Anyone can help me with ubuntu 10.04 install? I just finished Inatlling it , and when it says Installation Complete i hit restart now, and it came out a lad of errors , black screen with many errors, what should i do? I installed it from livecd ubuntu 10.04 32bits | 23:56 |
| actionParsnip | askhader: well users forget passwords and if there is no backdoor the account is screwed | 23:56 |
| Gryllida | So what do I do for files that I put onto windows partition to have some permissions for windows user to be able to read and edit them? | 23:57 |
| askhader | actionParsnip: I'm not against backdoors, I'm just saying that the way it is now is pretty useless. | 23:57 |
| Gryllida | s/partition/share | 23:57 |
| makish | deco, hmm strange..i tried now for 3 times to install the Mandriva 2010.1 for testing...the setup hangs all the time...the same with smooth_wall setup | 23:57 |
| trojan_spike | thats normal , installation | 23:57 |
| actionParsnip | GuerreroPorVeni: if the install completed then just reset the PC. should be fine | 23:57 |
| oka | if you care about security, setup an encrypted partition | 23:57 |
| deco | makish: maybe it's a bad mandriva iso | 23:57 |
| bob_ | askhander it didnt work, like the password still doesnt work | 23:57 |
| maco | askhader: recovery mode wont work if you have a root password set, but then oh wait...just change the boot line to include init=/bin/bash and again it doesnt matter... so you set a boot password in the bios, and they pop out the cmos battery or just pull the the hard drive. security stops at physical access | 23:57 |
| actionParsnip | oka: I care but i dont encrypt stuff, causes to many headaches | 23:57 |
| makish | deco, hmm..downloaded it direclty from the site | 23:57 |
| macfire | Good evening, I am having trouble installing ubuntu 10:04, type it seems he does not find the driver for your video card, you know, someone could give me a help? | 23:57 |
| GuerreroPorVeni | ok but do i restart it with the restart button or do i type /quit in the command line.? | 23:57 |
| deco | makish: it can still get messed up if you have a bad hdd for example | 23:58 |
| askhader | maco: Ever heard of data encryption? | 23:58 |
| actionParsnip | macfire: use the safe vga boot option | 23:58 |
| oka | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemHowto | 23:58 |
| trojan_spike | yes,, u can restart | 23:58 |
| maco | askhader: yep. ever heard of pulling out RAM to steal the encryption keys? | 23:58 |
| nejode | GuerreroPorVeni: sudo reboot | 23:58 |
| deco | makish: when you setup the v-machine did you select mandriva from the list of distros ? | 23:58 |
| oka | if anyone can unscrew your disk they can read the data anyway | 23:58 |
| GuerreroPorVeni | ok i am restarting will tell you what happens next one sec :D | 23:58 |
| Mehtrala | Jordan_U: it whould probably be on the web.. docs, ..if that was possible | 23:58 |
| makish | deco, hmm dont think so..the hd is pretty new... | 23:58 |
| askhader | maco: That depends on your implementation. | 23:58 |
| makish | deco, yeah | 23:58 |
| deco | makish: oh hmmm that's weird | 23:58 |
| Oer | makish check bios for sata - ide modus AHCI, turn it off. | 23:59 |
| maco | askhader: it depends on you guarding your ram for 5 minutes after powering down | 23:59 |
| osmosis | BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s! [kdmflush:275] | 23:59 |
| makish | Oer, ok | 23:59 |
| deco | makish: have you tried a different distro just to be sure it's nto v-box ? | 23:59 |
| deco | it's not* | 23:59 |
| askhader | maco: It's not that simple. int retrieve-keys(ram); does not exist. | 23:59 |
| makish | deco, i will do that..thats my next step..=) | 23:59 |
| deco | makish: okay :) | 23:59 |
| macfire | the video is totally mangled, I can not see his options, anyone know how to solve this problem? | 23:59 |
