| Typos_King | lacy: dunno what f-spot does, so | 00:55 |
| avis | exaile has really nice features | 00:55 |
| lacy | Typos_King: it imports pictures from a camera or flash drive and stores them in your home/pictures folder | 00:56 |
| lacy | it also checks for dplicates and arranges the files based on date, and some other things... the defauly ubuntu app | 00:56 |
| Typos_King | lacy: ... most digicam these days use jpeg or raw or else, if it loads, you can pull it out with any app pretty much I'd think | 00:57 |
| Typos_King | !cheese | lacy | 00:58 |
| lacy | it's a Flip, and it creates mpeg | 00:58 |
| Typos_King | hehe | 00:58 |

| lacy | heheh | 00:59 |
| Nighthwk | Can anyone help why my mount --bind command in rc.local won't work? | 00:59 |
| NightDragon | hey guys, anyone up for some IT systems administration advice? | 01:00 |
| Kahlua | NightDragon: Sure | 01:01 |
| Kahlua | bring it on | 01:01 |
| NightDragon | okay | 01:01 |
| NightDragon | so i'm looking for a good IT systems management solution | 01:01 |
| NightDragon | and kace is slick but too damn expensive | 01:01 |
| NightDragon | (and windows... ick) | 01:01 |
| Nighthwk | Can anyone help me with why my (mount --bind /media/directory /home/user/directory ) command in rc.local won't work? | 01:01 |
| lacy | looks like they tried to make f-spot import video files, but then it's being replaced with Shotwell in newer versions of ubuntu | 01:01 |
| NightDragon | right now i have GLPI + OCS-ng, and that gets me a little bit of the way | 01:01 |
| NightDragon | for a french project its not half bad :-P | 01:02 |
| Ego_Proctor | what is the difference in the way KDE handles the video driver and Gnome handles the video driver? | 01:02 |
| NightDragon | but i want to be able to do _management_ not just ticket support and inventory | 01:02 |
| NightDragon | any suggestions? | 01:02 |
| NightDragon | (anything short of BO2k) | 01:02 |
| NightDragon | oh cool, flood bots. Yay. | 01:02 |
| Kahlua | I've no idea what you are talking about. May be somebody else can shed light on that | 01:03 |
| Ego_Proctor | Kahlua, who are you talking to? | 01:04 |
| EvilTrek | how can I find the version info of an installed package in terminal? | 01:04 |
| Kahlua | Ego_Proctor: NightDragon | 01:04 |
| cwillu_at_work | Ego_Proctor, kde and gnome don't really do anything with the video drivers, unless you're talking about the apps to install them | 01:04 |
| LjL | EvilTrek: apt-cache policy package | 01:04 |
| Typos_King | lacy: I see it... in google images, well, one I have that looks a bit similar per se, will be Gwenview, which is kde's default image viewer -> http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/.vhost/www.kde.org/announcements/4.1/screenshots/gwenview-browse.png | 01:04 |
| beeboob1 | hey has anyone installed tomboy from source? | 01:04 |
| cwillu_at_work | Ego_Proctor, they're not responsible for loading them or anything like that | 01:05 |
| Kahlua | EvilTrek: <packagename> -v should bring up the version of the oackage | 01:05 |
| Kahlua | EvilTrek: *package | 01:05 |
| === slidinghorn is now known as SlidingHorn_out | ||
| NightDragon | nobody has any ideas? sad panda :( | 01:05 |
| Ego_Proctor | cwillu_at_work, ok. can you help me to understand why I can run dual monitors well in KDE and not in Gnome...? | 01:05 |
| cwillu_at_work | Ego_Proctor, define well | 01:06 |
| Nighthwk | Can anyone tell me how to enable /etc/rc.local on boot up? | 01:06 |
| lacy | Typos_King: do you know if it handles video files as well as pictures? | 01:06 |
| Ego_Proctor | cwillu_at_work, my dual monitors work in gnome, but I am stuck with the default orientation, I can't move them to match thy physical setup. | 01:06 |
| cwillu_at_work | Nighthwk, it's enabled by default afaik; make sure nothing exits with an error code in there though, it +e by default | 01:06 |
| lost_soul | rc.local should be automatically read upon boot ootb | 01:06 |
| Ego_Proctor | cwillu_at_work, I also cannot change resolutions | 01:06 |
| cwillu_at_work | Ego_Proctor, how are you setting it up? Via the monitors control, or via xorg.conf? | 01:06 |
| Ego_Proctor | cwillu_at_work, monitor control | 01:06 |
| Nighthwk | cwilu_at_work: but it won't start my mount --bind command on boot up but it will if I run /etc/rc.local on command prompt | 01:07 |
| Ego_Proctor | cwillu_at_work, I am also having to use open radeon video driver, my card is not supported for linux by ATI. | 01:07 |
| cwillu_at_work | Ego_Proctor, kde's might be hacking on xorg.conf directly (it used to); can you copy the output of xrandr to a pastebin, and then paste the link here? | 01:07 |
| Ego_Proctor | cwillu_at_work, you mean xranr -q? | 01:09 |
| cwillu_at_work | Ego_Proctor, does the same thing | 01:09 |
| Ego_Proctor | cwillu_at_work, http://pastebin.com/44TPw7SU | 01:09 |
| Dan-902 | how to ftp folders using ftp cli on ubuntu server? | 01:10 |
| EvilTrek | where can I get answers to a security related question regarding the openssh-server package? | 01:10 |
| Dan-902 | or recursive ftp | 01:10 |
| cwillu_at_work | Ego_Proctor, that looks right, what resolution are you trying to change to? | 01:10 |
| cwillu_at_work | Ego_Proctor, the monitor preferences dialogue should let you just drag one monitor around the other one, no? | 01:11 |
| cwillu_at_work | Ego_Proctor, will it let you flip them side-to-side? | 01:11 |
| Ego_Proctor | cwillu_at_work, no it won't it gives me garbage as the output, then the 30 sec timer runs out and it restores. | 01:12 |
| cwillu_at_work | Ego_Proctor, so it'll let you, it just doesn't work :p | 01:12 |
| cwillu_at_work | relevant information that is :) | 01:12 |
| cwillu_at_work | Ego_Proctor, is that when you move the monitors, or when you change resolution? | 01:13 |
| Ego_Proctor | cwillu_at_work, both | 01:13 |
| Kahlua | Hey can somebody tell me how to deal with Failed to open private chat error msg in Empathy when trying to register my nick... | 01:13 |
| cwillu_at_work | Ego_Proctor, are you using any extra repositories/ppa for drivers? | 01:13 |
| cwillu_at_work | Ego_Proctor, might try disabling graphical effects (None in the appearances properties), and then moving the monitor again | 01:14 |
| Ego_Proctor | cwillu_at_work, already disabled. | 01:15 |

| === hagebake is now known as hagabaka | ||
| NightDragon | i need a good systems management solution for my work, cant afford kace, boss wont go for BO2k, currently run GLPI + ocsng, but i need something for _managing_ the machines. Any suggestions | 01:19 |
| cwillu_at_work | Ego_Proctor, not sure then. kde and gnome should both be working the same way re: resolution and such, via the xrandr xorg extension | 01:19 |
| === SlidingHorn_out is now known as slidinghorn | ||
| cwillu_at_work | Ego_Proctor, probably useful to file a bug: "ubuntu-bug xorg", and fill out the details | 01:19 |
| mneptok | NightDragon: if you buy support contracts from Canonical you get access to Landscape | 01:20 |
| mneptok | NightDragon: so then you have management plus support | 01:20 |
| NightDragon | no no-- i'm managing a bunch of windows systems | 01:20 |
| NightDragon | however i'll be damned if i pay for some half-assed software | 01:20 |
| NightDragon | so i'm looking into my FOSS options :) | 01:20 |
| mneptok | NightDragon: then your question is off-topic for Ubuntu. | 01:21 |
| NightDragon | not nessicarily -- there is plenty of general IT admin tools that _run_ on systems like ubuntu | 01:21 |

| NightDragon | then you obviously have not read the sacred texts of BOFH :) | 01:27 |
| asymptote1 | like on career development ? | 01:27 |
| === aybabtu is now known as plustax | ||
| NightDragon | not exactly... i'm looking for advice on a IT Systems mangement solution | 01:27 |
| asymptote1 | well can I give it a shot ? | 01:27 |
| asymptote1 | did you already type it - should I scroll up ? | 01:28 |
| NightDragon | i'm looking to go with a FLOSS solution here, my boss is too cheap for Kace, Spiceworks is M$ only, and my boss would have a coronory if i try to use something like BO2K... | 01:28 |
| asymptote1 | Spiceworks is a help desk ticketing software | 01:28 |
| asymptote1 | and it's not M$ only but ok | 01:28 |
| NightDragon | so right now i'm using GLPI for inventory/ticket support (glpi-project.org) and ocs-ng for inventory backend... but i'm looking for something to take care of the _mangagement_ part of things | 01:29 |
| NightDragon | well whatever i use i want to slap onto a ubuntu server and leave it there... i dont want to have to create a VM just for spiceworks | 01:29 |
| NightDragon | not to mention that spiceworks seems to be very, very slow | 01:29 |
| sebsebseb | NightDragon: ok maybe #ubuntu-server or ##linux | 01:30 |
| asymptote1 | well | 01:30 |
| NightDragon | mmk | 01:30 |
| FYI | hello, is there anyway to change "Chat" to pidgin instead of empathy (10.04 envelope tray icon) | 01:30 |
| asymptote1 | request tracker is an open-source trouble ticketing solution | 01:30 |
| asymptote1 | I'm not sure how well/if it will interface with your existing applications | 01:30 |
| yacobh | Hi everybody | 01:30 |
| asymptote1 | but it has active directory modules if you're using an AD network | 01:31 |
| NightDragon | well i already have ticketing covered with GLPI (and IMO glpi is much smoother then RT) | 01:31 |
| NightDragon | a plus, but i dont have domain admin privlages | 01:31 |
| asymptote1 | yeah I'm not familiar w/ GLPI but I'll check it out | 01:31 |
| NightDragon | its a nifty piece of software | 01:31 |
| NightDragon | i'm looking for something more along the lines of management though | 01:32 |
| NightDragon | like deployment, system compliance, that kind of thing | 01:32 |
| asymptote1 | deployment - like imaging ? | 01:32 |
| asymptote1 | or pushing out updates ? | 01:32 |
| NightDragon | yeah stuff like that | 01:32 |
| asymptote1 | well for imaging | 01:32 |
| asymptote1 | I'm sure you've heard of partimage | 01:33 |
| NightDragon | its actually hell @ my office, because we have too many machines to ghost (too many different models), and i cant find a good way to make an unattended install | 01:33 |
| === EvilTrek is now known as Mithos | ||
| asymptote1 | I've not yet tested partimage to deploying windows clients | 01:33 |
| asymptote1 | but you can do it all in vm's | 01:34 |

| asymptote1 | I've used the partimage iso in a vm and practised copying/deploying images | 01:35 |
| asymptote1 | it shouldn't make any difference doing it from server to client | 01:35 |
| asymptote1 | or is that a novice solution to what you were expecting | 01:35 |

| thune3 | vodl: sounds like your problem is elsewhere. Either you do have power-out or hard shutdowns, you check intervals are too short, or (unlikely) you have a hardware problem. Full checks should be infrequent. And running a filesystem in a potentially inconsistent state is asking for trouble later. Also, if you don't let the check finish, it WILL happen again on the next boot. I guess I'm trying to say that your problem is better addressed by | 02:40 |

| foxlover | PS: I don't have my DVD media anymore... :-( | 02:42 |
| Jordan_U | foxlover: If ddrescue says that it only recovered 543 MiB of data, then you won't be able to get any more than that from the image ddrescue created. | 02:43 |
| thune3 | vodl: well if the filesystems are set as "unclean" then they need to be checked to get back to clean. Then: depending on the filesystem, you can set the check intervals to longer intervals (tune2fs for ext2/3/4) | 02:43 |

| clayg | I would like to watch a movie and have the "box" be have as little of a border and as much movie as possible. Is this a setting of the movie player itself or like a windowing setting? I'm trying to make it easier to throw it up "always on top" but like an eight of the screen so i can do other stuff while watching a movie | 04:43 |
| Out_Cold | usacomputertec, is there a nautilus open to /media/cdrom? | 04:43 |

| usacomputertec | http://paste.ubuntu.com/462793/ | 04:43 |
| usacomputertec | Out_Cold I've done this before | 04:43 |
| usacomputertec | It's not nautilus | 04:43 |
| slidinghorn | clayg, i know with movie player Ctrl+H gets rid of the toolbar | 04:43 |
| Out_Cold | clayg, install vlc and double click the picture to get full screen | 04:44 |
| usacomputertec | Out_Cold it's the installer that's keeping it locked | 04:44 |
| Out_Cold | vlc pwns totem | 04:44 |
| Out_Cold | usacomputertec, then pkill or kill the installer | 04:44 |
| usacomputertec | Out_Cold NO!!! | 04:44 |
| usacomputertec | Out_Cold the installer has to stay open | 04:44 |
| Out_Cold | then not too sure | 04:44 |
| usacomputertec | Out_Cold so I can mount the second disk | 04:44 |
| usacomputertec | to finish the install | 04:45 |
| Out_Cold | ahh | 04:45 |
| Out_Cold | that sounds like an issue lol | 04:45 |
| === _jesse__ is now known as _jesse_ | ||
| usacomputertec | Out_Cold now someone understands | 04:45 |
| Out_Cold | if only my understanding was worth it's weight in gold.. | 04:45 |
| Out_Cold | or solutions | 04:45 |
| usacomputertec | Out_Cold so how do you force a disk to unmount while it's bussy | 04:45 |
| ross__ | my volume control has disappeared from my panel can you please tell me how to put it back? | 04:45 |
| Out_Cold | usacomputertec, stick a pin in the tiny hole on the front of the disk drive lol | 04:46 |
| usacomputertec | Out_Cold it's mounted using gmount iso | 04:46 |
| usacomputertec | an iso mounter | 04:46 |
| usacomputertec | Can't I trick the installer into using another folder? | 04:47 |
| usacomputertec | to read from | 04:47 |
| Out_Cold | not too sure mate... i don't really use cd drives anymore.. | 04:47 |
| usacomputertec | I don't either | 04:47 |
| usacomputertec | Out_Cold I'm using an iso | 04:47 |
| Jordan_U | usacomputertec: You can't just mount the second iso and tell the installer to continue? | 04:47 |
| usacomputertec | don't you understand | 04:47 |
| usacomputertec | Jordan_U tried | 04:47 |
| usacomputertec | Jordan_U I even tried reconfiguring wine to use a diffrent folder while the installer was open | 04:48 |
| Vigo | usacomputertec: Are you using Cedega or some such thing? | 04:48 |
| usacomputertec | PlayOnLinux | 04:48 |
| Vigo | ok | 04:48 |
| Out_Cold | usacomputertec, no.. i kinda jumped into the problem halfway... but even as an iso... if the installer won't let go of the device, good luck.. | 04:48 |
| usacomputertec | Right but isn't there some way of tricking it? | 04:48 |
| Jordan_U | usacomputertec: Try umount -l, if that doesn't work then start over using mount instead of gmountiso. | 04:49 |
| usacomputertec | I could kill gmount iso | 04:49 |
| clayg | slidinghorn, just what i was looking for thanks. | 04:49 |
| usacomputertec | it appears to have worked | 04:49 |

| jordan | whats up | 04:52 |
| jordan | ? | 04:52 |
| Jordan_U | Out_Cold: It removes the mountpoint from the filesystem hierarchy but allows already opened files to stay open. It only actually completes the unmount when all files have been closed. | 04:52 |

| Jordan_U | DSSA: That guide looks good overall but I think that "gconftool --recursive-unset /" is overkill in your case as your gconf settings are probably fine (that command will reset pretty much all your preferences in all applications) and I would avoid Ubuntu Tweak. | 06:15 |
| DSSA1 | Okay, thanks again! | 06:15 |

| stwobe | has ubuntu got "Copy to Ram" at all for Live mode? | 06:30 |
| maco | stwobe: yes | 06:30 |
| maco | stwobe: i forget the kernel parameter for it... i think its just "toram" but yes | 06:30 |
| Tehedra | Anyone here ever ran SQUID3? I have it running now but i cant seem to connect to it | 06:31 |
| stwobe | cool. Aha! So what do I type to acces it then? | 06:31 |
| Tehedra | Anyone know if theres any way to find logs for it or anything?? | 06:31 |
| snuxoll | maco: I think they removed copy to ram from casper, actually | 06:31 |
| stwobe | maco: would it be live + toram? | 06:32 |
| maco | snuxoll: what what? | 06:32 |
| geekphreak | Tehedra: most logs are in /var/logs, looked there? | 06:32 |
| maco | snuxoll: when? | 06:32 |
| OpenSourcery | scriptwarlock: teh connection just times out | 06:32 |
| snuxoll | maco: fiesty | 06:32 |
| stwobe | Sounds complicated. I am no expert. | 06:32 |
| snuxoll | maco: it's been broken since | 06:32 |
| maco | snuxoll: i did it with hardy or so... | 06:32 |
| stwobe | Perhaps I meant is there an option when booting the disc? | 06:32 |
| maco | stwobe: when the live cd boots theres an option to change the kernel boot parameters. i think its F6? you just type in "toram" in the box | 06:33 |
| stwobe | that is cool | 06:33 |
| snuxoll | maco: oh, hey , fix released, finally | 06:33 |
| snuxoll | maco: I remember it being broken ages ago, bug on LP seems to have a resolution now | 06:33 |
| maco | snuxoll: either in 2008 or 2009 it worked for me, when i did it on a bunch of machines at best buy :) | 06:33 |
| snuxoll | maco: get kicked out of the store? :P | 06:34 |
| maco | nope | 06:34 |
| snuxoll | maco: heh | 06:34 |
| Tehedra | /var/log thanks | 06:34 |
| snuxoll | FF4 is rather nice, it actually feels like a GNOME app now | 06:34 |
| Tehedra | now the issue is its not even s howing that i attempted to connect to it | 06:34 |
| maco | snuxoll: awwww | 06:34 |
| scriptwarlock | OpenSourcery: so the problem is only at your network pc that cant print or print blank? assume we dont have problems at your pc server with brother printer | 06:35 |
| Jordan_U | maco: toram seems to have failed for me with an lubuntu 10.04 CD. | 06:35 |

| Raptors | Hey guys, my bro is new to ubuntu and is trying to browse the samba server set up on my computer (he's on the same network as me) | 06:38 |
| scriptwarlock | Raptors: and then | 06:39 |
| Raptors | he install samba and smbfs but he still can't see it under networks | 06:39 |
| Raptors | installed* | 06:39 |
| snuxoll | Raptors: Places -> Network -> Windows Network | 06:39 |
| Raptors | He can't see it under there... | 06:39 |
| snuxoll | Raptors: then try smb://[HOSTNAME HERE] as a path in nautilus | 06:39 |
| snuxoll | Raptors: or try Places -> Connect to Server and enter the info in there | 06:39 |
| Raptors | Is there a way to refresh it or something? | 06:40 |
| Tehedra | could my issue be something to do with my iptables?? | 06:40 |
| Raptors | or tell it look for the servers? | 06:40 |
| OpenSourcery | scriptwarlock: i think i fixed it; when you asked me how i did the drivers, i went back thru the setup i did to recall it and i noticed that there is two drivers for the printer a postscript one and a br-script3 one | 06:41 |
| scriptwarlock | OpenSourcery: congrats you figure it out | 06:41 |
| OpenSourcery | scriptwarlock: i had set the print up as the ps one as i didnt know what brscript was and this time i chose the brscript one just to see what would happen and it worked | 06:42 |
| Raptors | I told him to put smb://bash-desktop/ in the location bar and he said its not doing anything | 06:42 |
| Raptors | just loading | 06:42 |
| scriptwarlock | OpenSourcery: thats nice please document what you did and put it in a safe place | 06:42 |
| OpenSourcery | will do | 06:43 |

| byerley | hi, I've messed up my bootloader pretty thoroughly after a couple ubuntu/windows installations on what used to be a dual-boot system. I'm a fairly experienced linux user and I've been through a couple tutorials, but none of the usual methods seems to be working.(at the moment I just get a grub command line when I boot from hard drive) Would anyone be willing to walk me through some trouble shooting methods? | 07:02 |
| Jordan_U | stwobe: Seems the reason that toram wasn't working for me was that I didn't give the VM I tested in enough RAM (though it should give an error message in that case rather than booting noramlly). I can confirm that if you have 1 GB or more of RAM toram works with 10.04. | 07:03 |

| Raptors | he said it was unable to connect :\ | 07:18 |
| Raptors | I'll go and try to connect it myself later I guess | 07:18 |
| Jordan_U | byerley: You have a broken grub legacy installation (Auto Super GRUB Disk doesn't work with GRUB2, which is what Ubuntu uses as of 9.10). | 07:18 |
| maco | bnjmn: kate is quite nice, but its a kde app. can do split screens, syntax highlighting, you can set the tab size, set whether its tabs or spaces, etc... | 07:18 |
| maco | bnjmn: i use kde, so i dont mind it being a kde app ;-) | 07:18 |
| CkhiKuzad | jussi, that wont work for me. unetbootin seems to never work with ubuntu 10.04, like the kernels to boot are different | 07:18 |
| scriptwarlock | Raptors: recheck your shared folder if it was correctly configured for sharing.. | 07:19 |
| maco | bnjmn: http://kate-editor.org/ | 07:19 |
| jussi | CkhiKuzad: that doesnt use unetbootin | 07:19 |
| Jordan_U | byerley: I would install grub2 following this guide: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide | 07:19 |
| CkhiKuzad | yeah, it uses a technique i have used before, but failed, and it uses a whole bunch of CDs. something i can NOT use. | 07:20 |
| byerley | Jordan_U: Thanks, I'll give that a try | 07:20 |
| Jordan_U | byerley: You're welcome. | 07:20 |
| jussi | CkhiKuzad: what I linked to does not use any cd's, and does not use unetbootin. did you read it? | 07:20 |
| CkhiKuzad | yes i read it. jussi | 07:21 |
| Jordan_U | CkhiKuzad: You can setup GRUB2 to boot from the iso file, using the toram parameter to copy the CD into RAM (otherwise the installer will complain as you can't install to media you're booted from). | 07:21 |
| CkhiKuzad | Jordan_U, i cant copy the CD to ram, because its 700 some megs, and i only have a 512 meg hard drive. | 07:22 |
| jussi | yeah, that also, or the way I linked to where you create an extra partition and boot from there. | 07:22 |
| CkhiKuzad | and if you say upgrade, i am going to another server. | 07:22 |
| jussi | CkhiKuzad: 512 meg hd? and you want to install ubuntu? | 07:22 |
| CkhiKuzad | blarg | 07:22 |
| Jordan_U | CkhiKuzad: Then you'll need to use jussi's guide (which will work just fine). | 07:22 |
| CkhiKuzad | -.- | 07:22 |
| Topy44 | ubottu: i know that method, but i wasnt sure this was the proper way to start a basic system tool like maximus, which should be started before any programs that might open windows | 07:22 |
| CkhiKuzad | i said it wrong | 07:22 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 07:23 |
| CkhiKuzad | not 512 meg hd, 512 megs ram. | 07:23 |
| jussi | Topy44: ahh, sorry | 07:23 |
| jussi | !bum | Topy44 | 07:23 |
| ubottu | Topy44: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 07:23 |
| gwern | out of curiosity, has anyone ever heard of a program to output all the text currently displayed in X11? this seems like it ouight to be possible to me. (the idea is to take periodic snapshots, but more searchable and smaller than just scads of PNG screenshots) | 07:23 |
| CkhiKuzad | Jordan_U, i cant copy the CD to ram, because its 700 some megs, and i only have 512 megs of RAM <-- fixed | 07:23 |
| Topy44 | jussi: ok thanks, i'll try that | 07:23 |
| jussi | CkhiKuzad: yeah, so use the method I mentioned, create a new partition, put the cd there and boot from that, as the guide says | 07:23 |
| jagadish | Jordan_U, hi | 07:24 |
| K1ng | hey | 07:24 |
| Jordan_U | jagadish: Hi. | 07:24 |
| K1ng | volume icons is gone from panel | 07:24 |
| mikem | here's what I'm talking about: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/02/lucid-has-sexy-new-volume-indicator.html how do I get the indicator instead of the old version? | 07:24 |
| K1ng | how do i bring it back? | 07:24 |
| gwern | it seems to me that X11 must know what text is being displayed, what with fonts and whatnot, so that such a tool ought to be possible | 07:25 |
| gnewt58 | !mp3 | 07:25 |
| ubottu | For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 07:25 |
| Jordan_U | mikem: Right click the pannel, add the "Indicator Applet". | 07:25 |
| apporc | you can add it .volume icon. | 07:26 |
| mikem | Jordan_U: ah there it is! thanks... | 07:26 |
| Jordan_U | mikem: You're welcome. | 07:26 |
| scriptwarlock | King: or restore our default panel | 07:27 |
| Jordan_U | gwern: While you are wrong about X11, most apps have long abandoned sending text to X and now use libraries like cairo, there are accessibility features that allow you to access text on the screen (usually for braille terminals / screen readers). | 07:28 |
| gwern | Jordan_U: oh. are those apps better than just taking a PNG and piping it into an OCR prog? | 07:28 |
| Jordan_U | gwern: Yes, much :) | 07:29 |
| Jordan_U | gwern: Though they are not really designed to be used the way I think you want to. | 07:29 |
| gwern | Jordan_U: well, I suppose I should look and see | 07:29 |
| gwern | Jordan_U: any specific apps come to mind? | 07:30 |
| gwern | (lot of potential search terms) | 07:30 |
| Jordan_U | gwern: Orca screen reader is included in Ubuntu by default. | 07:30 |
| nomad77 | /disconnect | 07:30 |
| MaRk-I | CkhiKuzad: this might work burning the image to usb: dd if=ubuntu-blah.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1M <<<just make sure the USB is formated fat32 and is not mounted and X is the correct USB device | 07:31 |
| gwern | 'Orca helps provide access to applications and toolkits that support the AT-SPI (e.g., the GNOME desktop).' <-- I wonder how many programs I use don't support that... | 07:31 |
| CkhiKuzad | mark-i no! no! no! i am not using USB boot, i have said before my BIOS doesnt support it. | 07:31 |
| administrator__ | ?? | 07:31 |
| CkhiKuzad | i am doing the method on this web page. | 07:31 |
| MaRk-I | CkhiKuzad: you said "unetbooting doesnt seem to work for me" anyways | 07:32 |
| Flomaster | I am getting a runlevel = Unknown I believe this is causing 2 of my init.d scrips not to auto start on bootup | 07:34 |

| Flomaster | WXZ: was that directed at me? | 07:35 |
| WXZ | no | 07:35 |
| CkhiKuzad | jussi, i need some help with this guide, it doesnt say where i am suppose to create these directories. | 07:35 |
| jussi | CkhiKuzad: where are you running into trouble? which directories? | 07:36 |
| CkhiKuzad | sudo mount disk-image.iso -o loop /tmp/install_cd | 07:37 |
| CkhiKuzad | sudo mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/installer | 07:37 |
| CkhiKuzad | sudo rsync -a /tmp/install_cd/ /tmp/installer | 07:37 |
| CkhiKuzad | && shut it floodbot. | 07:37 |
| FloodBot4 | CkhiKuzad: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:37 |
| CkhiKuzad | i dont know exactly where those are supposed to be created. | 07:37 |
| jussi | CkhiKuzad: so you are changing the diskimage.iso for the path to your cdimage? | 07:39 |
| jussi | CkhiKuzad: as the guide says, you first need to create those dir's, then mount the partition into them, then copy the cd over with the rsync command | 07:39 |
| CkhiKuzad | jussi thats not what i asked, i want to know whether i put it in my "new" partition, or my "old one" | 07:40 |

| CkhiKuzad | am i supposed to create these directories in my new partition, or old one? | 07:43 |

| kevix | hi folks. i installed lxde on lucid and my font for the lxde menus, for titles on windows is realllly small. | 07:46 |
| kevix | like 6pt. | 07:46 |
| bnjmn | what's a good text editor for linux that's like TextMate or Notepad++? | 07:46 |
| madrid | jussi Archimedes is good? | 07:46 |
| kevix | any clue for how to make them bigger | 07:46 |
| jussi | madrid: Ive not used it, sorry | 07:46 |
| jussi | kevix: try asking in #lubuntu | 07:46 |
| ActionParsnip | bnjmn: gedit can have nice plugins | 07:46 |
| bullgard4 | Where is to be found a detailed description of the GNOME_Settings_Daemon (gnome-settings-daemon)? | 07:46 |
| byerley | Jordan_U: I'm running into problems with grub-mkconfig because my device.map is empty. I'm having trouble finding anything on how to populate it. | 07:46 |
| kevix | jussi: oh. that could be useful, thanks | 07:46 |
| jussi | :) | 07:47 |
| ActionParsnip | kevix: look in the openbox settings. You xcan specify the size there afair | 07:47 |
| Jordan_U | byerley: grub-mkconfig should work fine without a device.map. | 07:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Kevix: you could also ask in #lxde | 07:48 |
| Jordan_U | byerley: grub-mkdevicemap is the command to create one, but what is the exact error you're getting from grub-mkconfig without one? | 07:48 |
| kevix | ActionParsnip: your first suggestions sounds promising. I am also in #lubuntu but will go #lxde if that does not do anything :) | 07:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Kevix: I'm on a bus now so have no access to my desktop right now | 07:49 |
| CkhiKuzad | ok jussi, i use grub2, is my configuration menu.lst, or grob.conf? | 07:50 |
| byerley | Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/VZVBNgPC is what I get from the command. It generate the file, but the install step fails which I attributed to the errors | 07:50 |
| CkhiKuzad | grub.conf** | 07:50 |
| kevix | ActionParsnip: no need to leave your bus or do anything dangerous :) | 07:50 |
| ActionParsnip | kevix: hehe | 07:50 |
| jussi | CkhiKuzad: read down a little more :D | 07:50 |
| jussi | With Grub2, the bootloader in new installations of 9.10, the procedure is a little different. You should edit the file /etc/grub.d/40_custom and add the lines | 07:50 |
| ActionParsnip | CkhiKuzad: fgrub.conf but you don't manually edit it | 07:51 |
| CkhiKuzad | alright, thanks | 07:51 |
| kevix | I do need to add more parsnips to my diet, I only have them in chicksoup currently | 07:51 |
| Jordan_U | byerley: Did you bind mount /dev and /proc as the instructions say to do? | 07:51 |
| byerley | Jordan_U: I was under the impression; proc seems to be empty so I'll try running through the steps again | 07:52 |
| rebirth | what is the standard method of updating software in ubuntu? | 07:53 |

| CkhiKuzad | jussi, since i have this as the installer, would it be a good idea to make a new partition from the remaining space on my installer partition, leaving the installer to have only enough for the CD contents, so i dont get the error? | 07:54 |
| zus | how do i unlock a folder? .wine>dosdevices>c:>winetrickstmp is got a lock icon and cant make a folder in there as per terminal output. | 07:54 |

| scriptwarlock | jagadish: fine | 07:54 |
| jussi | CkhiKuzad: Im not sure. I havent actally completed the process before. | 07:54 |
| CkhiKuzad | well i will do that, because it seems like a good idea. | 07:54 |
| FrozenFire | Is there a command-line utility for managing AVI metadata? | 07:54 |

| zus | ActionParsnip, thank you | 07:55 |
| CkhiKuzad | and if it fails, and i am stuck with a partition i am using, a big one that i want to install to, and a wiped installer one, i can just redo the process | 07:55 |
| CkhiKuzad | alright jussi, i am good for now. | 07:55 |

| Poisoned_Gold | could someone point me in the right direction? | 08:02 |
| SirGrant | go to system --> preferences | 08:03 |
| SirGrant | and then screensaver | 08:03 |
| realubot | red2kic: Yes, I thinkI have seen this before, either use quotes or maybe, do someting like this: 15 04 * * * var1=abc, var2=def; /home/myuser/script.sh | 08:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Poisoned_Gold: well phrased uestion dude | 08:03 |
| Poisoned_Gold | Thanks SirGrant -_- | 08:03 |
| SirGrant | oh and then click "power management" | 08:03 |
| realubot | *var1=abc; var2=def; | 08:03 |
| SirGrant | and then you can turn off sleep mode | 08:03 |
| Poisoned_Gold | I cant believe I didnt see that | 08:03 |
| red2kic | realubot: Keep trying until you got that right. :) | 08:03 |

| realubot | red2kic: Yes, I know, but I rather set them from the cron job. Well, I will have to think about how to get this working the best way. | 08:05 |
| realubot | red2kic: The problem is that I want to use the same script but with different values as variables each times. | 08:06 |

| raptured | so the normal installation disk does not have an option for disk encryption ? | 08:18 |
| chriswaterguy | red2kic: it was a comparison question between 2 distros including Ubuntu, and I'm not using Mint atm. I don't see the point of a heavy hand on a simple query. | 08:18 |
| chriswaterguy | red2kic: but you did answer, so thanks, and bye for now. | 08:19 |
| red2kic | raptured: This is what you probably look for -- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystems -- And no, normal liveCD does not have option for disk encryption. | 08:19 |
| scarface94 | gim: I can't help you there, all I could do is make the suggestion. Sorry I can't be of more assistance. I've never set up my own repo before. | 08:20 |

| akasha | hi, I've an Asus k50in laptop, yesterday installed lucid lynx on it using wibu, but the nvidia graphics does not work, and I had no net. So I decided to install using the alternative installer. Once it's ready, what should I do to get a proper desktop installation? | 08:20 |
| scriptwarlock | jagadish: 9.04 | 08:21 |
| raptured | red thanks, i will check it out. Or maybe i will look at the truecrypt tutorials | 08:21 |
| gim | scarface94: thanks, I've found manual https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and seems like it's what I want | 08:21 |
| Spyzer | is there any way to know my CPU's PLL through ubuntu ??? | 08:21 |
| red2kic | raptured: If you only want to encrypt a different hard drive, you could install cryptsetup and figure out how to encrypt/partition the said hard drive. I'd prefer native linux cryptsetup over truecrypt. ;o | 08:21 |
| Spyzer | kindly tell | 08:21 |
| raptured | i will look into that too thx | 08:22 |

| pizzle | Hello, I'm on Ubuntu 10.04. I disconnected a USB sata connection from a 1.5 TB drive on my system and replaced it with a 160 Gb drive without unmounting the first drive. The 160 Gb drive now shows the geometry and label of the 1.5 TB drive and cannot be read. I have tried testdisk and have not been able to get the drive to work properly yet. Any help? | 08:35 |
| scriptwarlock | james: or check more torrent sources for 9.04. | 08:35 |
| MaRk-I | akasha: what video card? | 08:36 |
| akasha | MaRk-I: nvidia gforce g102m | 08:36 |
| jagadish | scriptwarlock, ok man... i'll catch up later... | 08:37 |
| jagadish | scriptwarlock, thanks a ton | 08:37 |
| MaRk-I | akasha: try this, there's instructions to start the livecd and what to edit after installing http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/05/06/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup-workaround/ | 08:37 |

| pizzle | loshki: yea | 08:37 |
| bullgard4 | Where is to be found a detailed description of the GNOME_Settings_Daemon (gnome-settings-daemon)? | 08:37 |
| ResQue | hello people | 08:38 |
| Loshki | pizzle: have you rebooted since you swapped the disks? | 08:38 |
| pizzle | Loshki: yes several times | 08:39 |
| bullgard4 | pizzle: Use the umount command. | 08:39 |
| === jan247_ is now known as jan247 | ||
| pizzle | bullgard4: I neglected to use the umount and now have the wrong geometry and label on one of the drives. I'm trying to see if I can get that fixed or if I've just lost my data | 08:40 |
| MaRk-I | akasha: did you get it? | 08:41 |
| Jordan_U | akasha: MaRk-I: I don't think that guide will help as it's specific to intel graphics, not nvidia. | 08:41 |
| Loshki | pizzle: I don't suppose you have any record of the partition scheme on the 160GB disk e.g. the output of 'fdisk -l' from before it got corrupted? | 08:43 |
| erUSUL | pizzle: remounting replugging the disk does not help ? | 08:43 |
| Jordan_U | akasha: Press any key early in the LiveCD boot and you will get a boot menu. Select your language then press F6 to change the kernel parameters (you'll have to press escape to get out of the menu of common parameters as the one you want isn't there) | 08:43 |

| zus | damn now my a: in .wine is locked. why is it that everyone gets this crap working but its always a problem? no one in #winehq answers anyquestions either | 08:43 |
| MaRk-I | Jordan_U: and if you see for nvidia it says: nVidia: nomodeset | 08:43 |
| pizzle | Loshki: nope. However i have another drive that is the exact same model, size etc. It happens to be my primary drive on the computer being used | 08:44 |
| Jordan_U | MaRk-I: Ahh, sorry, I should have looked at the complete guide rather than skimming. | 08:44 |
| zus | how do i unlock these folders and get winetricks to open so i can install the bs that i need to run rutting games? | 08:44 |
| pizzle | erUSUL: remounting replugging the disk works for the 1st drive. the 2nd drive shows the same geometry and label as the 1st drive however | 08:44 |
| vikas | i am running a compaq laptop and my cpu temp is upto 65deg Celsius | 08:44 |

| vikas | is that okay ? | 08:44 |
| MaRk-I | Jordan_U: np, the generic part I think goes for ati | 08:44 |
| erUSUL | pizzle: there is no way i know off a kernel modifies label or geometry or partition table of a disk you have to use specialized tools for that ... | 08:45 |
| erUSUL | zus: checked appdb ? | 08:46 |
| pizzle | erUSUL: is there anything I can do in a terminal window to get some outputs to figure out exactly what's going on then? | 08:46 |
| zus | erUSUL, no what is that? | 08:46 |
| erUSUL | !appdb | zus | 08:46 |
| ubottu | zus: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 08:46 |
| Loshki | pizzle: you could copy the *geometry* from the primary to the 160GB disk, but you'll still be lacking the *partition table*. If you had the latter, you stand a good chance of recovering all your data.... | 08:47 |
| erUSUL | pizzle: sudo fdisk -l ; sudo parted /dev/sdx print ; | 08:47 |

| pizzle | I've used testdisk prior but it didnt seem to fix it. I can try it again | 09:38 |
| rebirth | i'm in the process of updating to 10.04 and it's asking me about GRUB and i have no idea what to do | 09:40 |
| Dr_Willis | rebirth: grub normally goes on the mbr of the hard drive. /dev/sda | 09:40 |
| Dr_Willis | rebirth: what specifically is it asking? | 09:40 |
| erUSUL | pizzle: we can try with other superblock backups ... | 09:40 |
| erUSUL | pizzle: do --> sudo mke2fs -n /dev/sdb1 | 09:41 |
| rebirth | it wants me to select which devices i want grub-install to be automatically run for | 09:41 |
| pizzle | erUSUL, that might be better. testdisk isnt getting me anywhere | 09:41 |
| IronChef | how can I enable root login? | 09:42 |
| Illuminatus | hi | 09:42 |
| Dr_Willis | IronChef: use sudo as needed to do 'root' tasks | 09:42 |
| pizzle | erUSUL, http://paste.ubuntu.com/462892/ | 09:42 |
| Illuminatus | to access via rdp (terminal server) from windows to ubuntu ? | 09:42 |
| IronChef | Dr_Willis: I need to login to gnome as root | 09:42 |
| Dr_Willis | IronChef: You dont want to directly login as root. "sudo -s' to get a root shell. | 09:42 |
| erUSUL | IronChef: ubuntu does not use root account and we do not support enabling it | 09:42 |
| Dr_Willis | IronChef: I doubt very much that you actually 'need' to do that | 09:42 |
| rebirth | Dr_Willis: there are several options beginning dev/sda | 09:43 |
| IronChef | i'm a professional linux sysadmin for a fortune 100 company! I NEED IT :-) | 09:43 |
| Dr_Willis | IronChef: if you 'must' then go to the console. stop the gdm service. than use 'sudo -s' to get to root terminal. and try 'startx' I imagine you will break you system with this 'habbit' | 09:43 |
| erUSUL | pizzle: now try « sudo e2fsck -b <number> -y /dev/sdb1 » with the numbers printed there... we already used the first one 32768 | 09:43 |
| apapa | hi guys I have a multi-partitioned drive sda1,4,3 & 2 (in that order). sda3 is an extended partition housing ubuntu lucid, sda3 is an ntfs partition that I use to store data in general(for compatibility with winxp), sda2 is my OEM recovery partition and sda1 is an ntfs partition that I want to install win xp on. When I try to boot up from the win xp cd it says "setup is loading hardware configuration..." and it just sits idle; is this because of my partitioni | 09:43 |
| erUSUL | pizzle: the next is 98304 | 09:44 |
| Dr_Willis | rebirth: you want /dev/sda NOT /dev/sda1 or any other # | 09:44 |
| rebirth | and not dev/sdc? | 09:44 |
| apapa | *sorry sda4 houses ubuntu not sda3 | 09:44 |
| IronChef | erUSUL: so can you please tell me where it's disabled? | 09:44 |
| apapa | can somebody help me? | 09:45 |
| erUSUL | !root | 09:45 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 09:45 |
| erUSUL | apapa: ##windows can help with windowsXP issues | 09:45 |
| St0n3-C0l | IronChef : Try out sudo su | 09:46 |
| St0n3-C0l | That will get you root. | 09:46 |
| IronChef | yeah that's great, but if i login then my home dir gets unencrypted, and gconf starts writing, i don't know how many of you have tried to repair a broken gconf but it's rotten difficult! | 09:46 |
| === n3werne0 is now known as darth10 | ||
| IronChef | sudo su - | 09:46 |
| ikonia | IronChef: please don't suggest that | 09:46 |
| Dr_Willis | St0n3-C0l: more proper way is 'sudo -s' not 'sudo su' :) | 09:46 |
| St0n3-C0l | Not here...btw is it normal to have Xorg occupying 20-30% of your CPU usage when Firefox is loading up certain pages, even on one tab..my Xorg has at a point reached 40% | 09:47 |
| ikonia | IronChef: check out "sudo" as a tool with sudo -s and sudo -i for the right options | 09:47 |
| IronChef | does the ubuntu community ever worry it's making linux a bit too cuddly?!? | 09:47 |
| zus | Jordan_U, thank you | 09:47 |
| St0n3-C0l | Ok Dr_Willis. | 09:47 |
| St0n3-C0l | Thanks | 09:47 |
| zus | thank you all. | 09:47 |
| Dr_Willis | IronChef: No we dont worry about stuff liike that at all. | 09:47 |
| IronChef | lol | 09:47 |
| pizzle | erUSUL, would you believe it if I told you none of the numbers worked? | 09:48 |
| * IronChef considers going back to opensuse | 09:48 | |
| zus | Jordan_U, is there a way to get the other two folders unlocked as well?, im sure they werent locked before the a: and z: in dosdevices | 09:48 |
| IronChef | i get laughed at at work when the other *nix admins find out my lappy can't do root when i want! | 09:48 |
| erUSUL | pizzle: well i would believe anything. | 09:48 |
| Dr_Willis | IronChef: feel free to do what you want. Thats the linux way. | 09:48 |
| erUSUL | IronChef: it can. « sudo -i » | 09:48 |
| pizzle | erUSUL, so what now? | 09:48 |
| Dr_Willis | IronChef: You just need tolearn the ways to do it. I have no admin issues at all with ubuntu. | 09:48 |
| Jordan_U | zus: That command should have "unlocked" them all. | 09:48 |
| rebirth | cuddly? wtf does that mean? | 09:49 |
| IronChef | simple, for this particular task i need to login as root | 09:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Bad habbits on their part. do not prove its a ubuntu 'problem' | 09:49 |
| ikonia | IronChef: it can do root when you want it, and it's not hard to unlock the root account if you really feel strong about it | 09:49 |
| zus | Jordan_U, it didnt, BUT it unlocked the winetrickstmp and got the sh winetricks working,.... | 09:49 |
| Dr_Willis | IronChef: i allready mentioned the console and 'sudo -s' and 'startx' | 09:49 |
| IronChef | oh poppycock, who has time to type 'sudo' in front of every command all day!? :-) | 09:49 |
| St0n3-C0l | Guys.. | 09:49 |
| St0n3-C0l | is it normal to have Xorg occupying 20-30% of your CPU usage when Firefox is loading up certain pages, even on one tab..my Xorg has at a point reached 40% | 09:49 |
| ikonia | IronChef: however Unix administrators will laugh at you more for doing sudo su - than for unlocking the root aaccount | 09:49 |
| consit | could anybody help me about activating screensaver in GDM mode | 09:50 |
| ikonia | IronChef: you don't have to, unlock the root account properly then | 09:50 |
| Dr_Willis | IronChef: who is spending all day configuring a system? get it configured.. and let the users get to work. | 09:50 |
| ikonia | IronChef: or switch to a root user shell "properly" | 09:50 |
| erUSUL | pizzle: i'm afraid this is beyond my knowledge amybe there is something to be done via "debugfs" but you will have to ask the ext4 devs or someone wiser | 09:50 |
| IronChef | i run over 200 nix servers, i spend all day as root - and i love it lol | 09:50 |
| Jordan_U | IronChef: If I found out that one of my sysadmins was running gnome as root, even on their own computer, they likely wouldn't last very long... | 09:50 |
| Dr_Willis | IronChef: i peronally find that statment hard to belive. | 09:50 |
| IronChef | i don't break things, because i think very carefully before hitting <enter> | 09:50 |
| ikonia | IronChef: yet you've just had to ask in ##linux how you login as root | 09:51 |
| ikonia | IronChef: can't be that good | 09:51 |
| pizzle | erUSUL, how would I get in contact with them? are they in this room or do I have to go somewhere else? | 09:51 |
| * MaRk-I keep feeding the troll, is amusing | 09:51 | |
| Dr_Willis | ikonia: :) its like a 'test' of skills' | 09:51 |
| darth10 | Dr_Willis, IronChef is mostly an admin in a lab or something. nothing unbelievable about it | 09:51 |
| IronChef | i'm not actually trolling, i just want to know how to enable the root account in gnome, then i'll happily go back to what i was doing | 09:51 |
| erUSUL | pizzle: maybe a mailing list... if they use irc i do not where sorry. | 09:51 |
| Dr_Willis | darth10: ok. Not in the 'real world' then. :) | 09:51 |
| ikonia | IronChef: the guys in ##linux told you | 09:51 |
| ikonia | IronChef: it's also well documented | 09:51 |
| ikonia | IronChef: however, you'll need to unlock the root aaccount onteh system first | 09:52 |
| pizzle | erUSUL, ty for all the help and time | 09:52 |
| Dr_Willis | GDM also prevents root from directly logging in. I recall. | 09:52 |
| ikonia | Dr_Willis: correct, which is why enabling root in either without the other is pointless | 09:52 |
| erUSUL | pizzle: no problem | 09:53 |
| * Dr_Willis changes his root users theme/colors to be bright red. so any apps running as root.. get a real real bright warning/colors. :) | 09:53 | |
| IronChef | and fwiw i totally agree with locking users out of a root login, lest they run xchat as root etc, but that's not my situation, it's no lie, i do this all day for a living :-) | 09:54 |
| Jordan_U | IronChef: You realize that it isn't just a matter of being "carefull", Gnome was not meant to be bulletproof and running millions of lines of GUI code as root is a huge security risk. | 09:54 |
| ShapeShifter499 | hi | 09:55 |
| consit | as I understand GDM is nobody login session, and I find how to change background, but I wabt to put screensaver when nobody is log. I put slideshow in GDM mode in same way as background but is minimized and I want to maximize | 09:55 |
| IronChef | Jordan_U: sure, but i just need to take a system snapshot, then i'll log right out again :-) | 09:55 |
| Jordan_U | IronChef: Why do you need to run Gnome as root to "take a system snapshot"? | 09:55 |
| ikonia | IronChef: you shouldn't be running the system if your taking a snapshot | 09:55 |
| ikonia | IronChef: you should be doing that from single user mode to minimise in use and locked files | 09:56 |
| * Dr_Willis wonders what system 'snapshot' even means | 09:56 | |
| ikonia | normally an "image" of some sort of the box | 09:56 |
| Jordan_U | Dr_Willis: That's why I put it in quotes :) | 09:56 |
| * IronChef means "of my encrypted home dir" | 09:56 | |
| ikonia | IronChef: again - you don't need to be root for that | 09:57 |
| ikonia | IronChef: you're making a poor argument for logging into a desktop environment as root | 09:57 |
| Dr_Willis | root user has an encrypted home dir? | 09:57 |
| ikonia | Dr_Willis: I'm guessing someone else, which is why he wants to do it as s root | 09:57 |
| IronChef | i'm windering if anyone here actually knows the answer... | 09:57 |
| IronChef | wondering also | 09:57 |
| ikonia | IronChef: I've told you the answer | 09:57 |
| IronChef | <ikonia> IronChef: however, you'll need to unlock the root aaccount onteh system first | 09:58 |
| ikonia | IronChef: I wonder if you actually fully understand what you're doing logging into a desktop environment as root to backup a home directory ? | 09:58 |
| * Dr_Willis isent clear on the probpelm. if you want to backup /home/* then you should be doing it from single user mode/recovery mode | 09:58 | |
| zus | Jordan_U, what do i do then to remove the lock from them two folders? i dont know why the command didnt unlock them. | 09:58 |
| IronChef | oh ffs i'm going back to suse, this is childish | 09:58 |
| ikonia | IronChef: yes, so you need to change gdm config to ALLOWROOT login, but you'll also need to unlock the system root account as the ubuntu root account actually has no password by default as it's locked | 09:58 |
| * Dr_Willis wonders what tool in X is being used to snapshot stuff. | 09:59 | |
| IronChef | ikonia: many thanks :-) | 09:59 |
| Jordan_U | IronChef: Who is your employer? I'd like to warn them about you... | 09:59 |
| ikonia | uncalled for | 09:59 |
| IronChef | Jordan_U: oh grow up | 09:59 |
| ShapeShifter499 | I'm trying to compile and use a linux ethernet driver and the "make install" keeps spitting out "CFLAGS was changed /home/lance/Downloads/e100-3.5.17/src/Makefile . Fix it to use EXTRA_CFLAGS" how do I fix this | 09:59 |
| Jordan_U | IronChef: Sorry. | 09:59 |

| Dr_Willis | /filter add joinquit * irc_join,irc_part,irc_quit * | 10:02 |
| IronChef | consit: it's called 'pictures' i think | 10:03 |
| IronChef | pictures folder in fact | 10:03 |
| consit | Yes, but I want to put in mode GDM when nobody is logged | 10:03 |
| ddavids | how do i delete my primary user and transfer admin rights to the new user? | 10:04 |
| consit | I find to change baskground (splash), and on some way I put slideshow bu window is minimized, and I want to maximize or to put real screensaver | 10:05 |
| IronChef | consit: ah, it's something to do with the gdm user sccount i think... | 10:05 |
| ndo | hi guys how do i list hard drives connected | 10:06 |
| sap | Does anyone here use ubuntu with a microsoft exchange alternative? like scalix, openxchange or something like that? I'm looking for something that works with MS outlook and supports shared inboxes, shared contacts and calenders | 10:06 |
| IronChef | ndo: df -h | 10:06 |
| IronChef | or fdisk -l | 10:06 |
| ikonia | IronChef: df will only show mounted devices, not connected | 10:06 |
| IronChef | yep then fdisk -l :-) | 10:07 |
| IronChef | ikonia: enable root login is no longer in gdmsetup... | 10:07 |
| consit | yes but I can't find how to activate GDM user account. I copy in LoginWindow cosmos-slideshow.desktop and I activate slideshow | 10:07 |
| ikonia | IronChef: that's a drag, you should be able to force it in the config file | 10:07 |
| MegaHerz | hi all | 10:07 |
| katan_ | how can I change directory to my cdrom in ubuntu ? | 10:08 |
| ikonia | katan_: cd /cdrom | 10:08 |
| marblecakealsoth | cd /cdrom | 10:08 |
| ndo | IronChef: actually i want to dd disk to disk | 10:08 |
| marblecakealsoth | beat me to it | 10:08 |
| MegaHerz | Ubuntu is very slow here, and I was trying to understand the reason. I ran gnome system monitory but it eats 60-80% of my CPU itself! wtf? | 10:09 |
| marblecakealsoth | hmm | 10:09 |
| marblecakealsoth | switch back to windows | 10:09 |
| katan_ | ikonia: thanks | 10:09 |
| marblecakealsoth | ubuntu doesnt like you | 10:09 |

| liuzhixing | so quite | 10:10 |
| marblecakealsoth | switch back to windows ubuntu doesnt like you\ | 10:10 |
| marblecakealsoth | did it again | 10:10 |
| NeverCast | AHahaha. | 10:10 |
| consit | Is it possible to put maximized window while open f-spot - this could solve problem, but I don't know how to do it by default | 10:10 |
| ikonia | IronChef: try AllowRoot=true in your gdm custom.conf | 10:10 |
| metaltux | hello. how do I activate ip forwarding on an ethernet interface on ubuntu 6.06? | 10:10 |
| MegaHerz | I wonder why gnome-system-monitor is eating CPU so much, so this is my question. Maybe something goes wrong? | 10:10 |
| katan_ | ikonia: if my exe file contains a windows virus, would it affect my ubuntu system under wine ? | 10:11 |
| ikonia | IronChef: not %100 sure if custom.conf is the right place now that gdm.conf has been split out | 10:11 |
| NeverCast | katan_, Yes | 10:11 |
| NeverCast | katan_, well. not in the same way | 10:11 |
| ikonia | katan_: very doubtful, unless it does something like fireup an smtp server and mail out people, | 10:11 |
| genux | lo after looking at this bug.. | 10:11 |
| NeverCast | katan_, It could probably delete user files | 10:11 |
| genux | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/604702 | 10:11 |
| NeverCast | katan_, but I doubt it would do much. | 10:11 |
| ikonia | NeverCast: not on the ubuntu operating system it can't | 10:11 |
| scriptwarlock | MegaHerz: open your system monitor and observe what services eats your system resources | 10:11 |
| IronChef | gdm-ccd.conf by the looks of things ikonia | 10:12 |
| NeverCast | ikonia, Like i said, to an extent. | 10:12 |
| genux | I can view the website fine.. webdiplomacy.net, is there anything else to check ? | 10:12 |
| metaltux | anyone? | 10:12 |
| NeverCast | ikonia, I would imagine it couldn't do much 'infection' or 'run on startup', and of that crap. | 10:12 |
| liuzhixing | which language could be used there? | 10:12 |
| katan_ | ikonia: NeverCast it is infected by this virus : http://www.securelist.com/en/descriptions/old70306 | 10:12 |
| katan_ | ikonia: NeverCast it uses Iexplorer, so it shouldn't do anything ? | 10:13 |
| scriptwarlock | MegaHerz: you never introduce your machines specs also.... | 10:13 |
| acee12345 | how do i give a program permission to bind ports without invoking sudo? | 10:13 |
| NeverCast | katan_, That's what the message says it does, doesn't mean it uses internet explorer. | 10:13 |
| ikonia | acee12345: what progam ? | 10:13 |
| acee12345 | znc | 10:13 |
| ikonia | acee12345: you shouldn't need root for that | 10:14 |
| MegaHerz | scriptwarlock: gnome-system-monitor is eating ~60%. Then VirtualBox goes with ~15%. Interactivity almost lost in g-s-m, and I have to kill the app to close it. It is notebook, Acer 5930G with | 10:14 |
| MegaHerz | Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P7350 @ 2.00GHz | 10:14 |
| acee12345 | ikonia without it i get "unable to bind [permission denied]" | 10:14 |
| ikonia | acee12345: bind to what ? | 10:15 |
| acee12345 | ikonia port 665(arbitrary) | 10:15 |
| katan_ | NeverCast: ikonia so it would affect the system only when I run wine right ? If I have wine installed and installed the app containing the virus. Would i affect only when wine is run ? | 10:15 |
| scriptwarlock | MegaHerz: thats impossible for gnome-system-monitor to eat your system there shoud be anything that eats... your specs is more than enough to run ubuntu | 10:15 |
| Lumee | hi, how can I install kde on ubuntu without lose my ubuntu splash screen during loading at booting time? I dont want the kubuntu splash screen | 10:16 |

| scriptwarlock | MegaHerz: ok type "top" in your terminal to see those things | 10:16 |
| Guest53946 | ubuntu 10.04 sometimes not boot from grub - randomly | 10:16 |
| Guest53946 | in both i386 and AMD64 versions | 10:17 |
| katan_ | NeverCast: so it must be safe then :) | 10:17 |
| NeverCast | katan_, just don't run it :P | 10:17 |
| NeverCast | katan_, best way to be sure :P | 10:17 |
| scriptwarlock | MegaHerz: and then start kill -9 (proc) whatever causes your sytem to peak... | 10:17 |
| katan_ | NeverCast: ok :) | 10:18 |

| MegaHerz | scriptwarlock: ok, let me play with top (htop I think is more handy) | 10:20 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Lumee: you can always reset the splash screen back to whatever one you want. | 10:20 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Lumee: its not like the splash screen is a 'mission critucal' part of the OS. | 10:20 |
| scriptwarlock | MegaHerz: id rather recommend htop | 10:20 |
| naomi_alpha | oh, and having active synaptic and loading nvidia driver at the same time gives error in nv driver installation | 10:21 |
| katal_ | NeverCast: Is there a firewall for ubuntu like ZoneAlarm for windows ? | 10:21 |
| MegaHerz | scriptwarlock: is there a tool to measure cumulative cpu expenses per app? | 10:21 |
| Dr_Willis_ | !firewall | katal_ | 10:21 |
| ubottu | katal_: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 10:21 |
| acee12345 | ikonia "netstat -anp --tcp --udp | grep LISTEN" reports only 631 open | 10:21 |
| Dr_Willis_ | katal_: firewalling in Linux is very different then how firewslls work in windows. | 10:22 |
| MegaHerz | scriptwarlock: because there not much info when I view like processes jump up and down ) | 10:22 |
| NeverCast | katal_, Ip tables. | 10:22 |
| consit | IronChef: I can't find gdm-ccd.conf in Ubuntu 10.04 to manage gdm | 10:22 |
| Misterio | Talking about firewalls. I am via router, do I need firewall enabled? | 10:23 |

| scriptwarlock | MegaHerz: htop and top have those features you said.. | 10:25 |
| Misterio | Dr_Willis_: I only have torrent's port forwarded from router | 10:25 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Misterio: if the router has some sort of logging feature. its neat to monitor the logs to see if anyone is 'attacking' or scanning you. | 10:25 |

| Misterio | Dr_Willis_: Okay :) | 10:26 |

| Dr_Willis_ | Misterio: I have to wonder what omne would actually 'firewall' if you dont have any services going.. block pings? router does that.. block other things? router proberly does that also | 10:27 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Misterio: it seems most of the 'firewall' stuff in windows is to keep the windows apps/malware from getting Out. :) | 10:27 |
| acee12345 | how do i give a program permission to bind ports without invoking sudo? | 10:28 |
| Misterio | Dr_Willis_: Yeah, that's right. My router has firewall in it, so it can block pings, identd and other stuff. And yes, I haven't got Windows installed, just ubuntu and puppy (in a small pc), so I think there are not problems :) | 10:28 |
| Dr_Willis_ | acee12345: for lower ports. I dont think you can. FOr higher ports. they should be able to do so allready | 10:29 |
| acee12345 | Dr_Willis_ define higher please | 10:29 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Misterio: the biggest 'danger' i find to a linux box. is the user doing 'things' (often as root) they shouldent be doing in the first place. | 10:29 |
| Dr_Willis_ | acee12345: anything over 1024 i think.. i forget the cutoff. | 10:29 |

| acee12345 | Dr_Willis_: perfect | 10:32 |
| MegaHerz | scriptwarlock: visited its setup screen, don't see such a feature | 10:32 |
| scriptwarlock | MegaHerz: man top... reboot to think your machine is too tired of somthing :) | 10:33 |
| scriptwarlock | MegaHerz: dont use fancy desktop effects. if possible install conky so you can have a visual monitor on everything you do in your ubuntu. | 10:34 |
| crankyadmin | Hi, does anybody know if and when ruby1.9 will become the default in 10.04? | 10:36 |

| PALCO | Hi guys. I love Ubuntu. Love using it. But have a question now. Are out there any Pulseaudio tools (or any other ones) that make it possible to define a soundcard to be used to output sound from a program (media player)? Need it badly. PLS | 10:38 |
| MegaHerz | scriptwarlock: thank you very much. | 10:38 |
| Jordan_U | !polish | gracz | 10:38 |
| ubottu | gracz: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. | 10:38 |
| scriptwarlock | MegaHerz: your Welcome | 10:38 |
| Dr_Willis_ | crankyadmin: ubuntu normally dosent push out new versions on releases that way. If its not there now. it proberly wont be in ubuntu as the default till the next release. | 10:38 |
| Dr_Willis_ | crankyadmin: there are a few exceptions of course. | 10:38 |
| gracz | Jordan_U, thanx :) | 10:38 |

| gschwepp | Hi does anyone know how gdm controls ssh login by ubuntu? | 10:39 |
| Dr_Willis_ | PALCO: theres a few pulse audio config tools in the repos. I forget the names. somthing like 'pavcontrol' or similer | 10:39 |
| Dr_Willis_ | gschwepp: as far as i know. gdm dosent controll ssh at all. | 10:39 |
| totaam | PALCO: pavucontrol | 10:40 |
| gracz | Dr_Willis Is it "Pulse Audio Device Chooser"? | 10:40 |
| gracz | bye :) | 10:40 |
| Dr_Willis_ | gracz: theres several in there. Ive not played with them in ages. | 10:40 |
| Dr_Willis_ | I do know they had rather confuseing names. :) | 10:41 |
| metaltux | hello. How do I share my internet connection on ubuntu? | 10:41 |
| metaltux | it doesn't seem to work as a router | 10:41 |
| PALCO | Dr_Willis_, but it is possible in general, right? | 10:41 |
| gracz | bye :) | 10:41 |
| Dr_Willis_ | PALCO: im not sure what you are doing. but Pulse has a lot of features that people never notice. | 10:41 |
| scriptwarlock | metaltux: have you tried the network manager feature like share this computer? | 10:42 |
| knxville | How is it I add programs (Conky) to run automatically at startup? | 10:42 |
| gschwepp | Dr_Willis_: That was my opinion since yesterday :). I set up a vncserver (by hand not with remote desktop). As long as i was logged in to my remote computer i could establish the ssh connection with my laptop. After logging out at my Remote host it didnot work. After reboot neither(because noone was logged in) | 10:42 |
| Dr_Willis_ | knxville: for conky ive had tomake a script (startconky.sh) that sleeps for 20 sec, then starts conky with the proper options) and add that script to the list of auto started apps. via the startup manager tool | 10:42 |
| Dr_Willis_ | !startup | knxville | 10:42 |
| ubottu | knxville: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 10:42 |
| gschwepp | Dr_Willis_: i killed sudo gdm-stop gdm, logged off and tried to loggin via ssh and it worked. | 10:42 |
| Dr_Willis_ | knxville: with out the 'pause' conky often gets goofed up and runs on top of - or below the gnome desktop | 10:43 |
| knxville | Dr_Willis: ahh alright | 10:43 |
| Dr_Willis_ | gschwepp: i can ssh into my remote box's with gdm started, or stopped. or not even installed.. | 10:43 |
| PALCO | Dr_Willis_, I want Totem music to be played to Sound card A, and Rithmbox sound to go to Sound card B | 10:43 |
| rebirth | amarok question since the amarok channel seems to be dead: i just updated to 10.04 and now amarok will not find any music when it scans | 10:44 |
| gschwepp | Dr_Willis_: i expected that. is someone logged into remote host when you start your ssh ? | 10:44 |
| Dr_Willis_ | PALCO: i think thats doable. but never really tried it thatway. I tended to reroute sound to my soundcard. Or my Bluetooth headset. | 10:44 |
| Dr_Willis_ | gschwepp: its a headless server. :) so no. | 10:44 |
| Dr_Willis_ | gschwepp: ive never heard of GDm in any way affecting ssh logins. | 10:45 |
| Dr_Willis_ | BRB | 10:45 |

| Dr_Willis_ | K1ng: it may need a 'delay' when starting with gnome. Ive seen some apps that i have to do a 'sleep 20' or so when auto-starting them. this lets gnome get setup. You could also set up the script to launch a terminal and the app. so you can see what its doing/error messages | 10:59 |

| vikas | ? | 11:25 |
| vikas | hi how r u | 11:25 |
| Dr_Willis | First Coffee of the day. :) answering Questions on IRC.. life is good. | 11:26 |
| vikas | well can u tell where the packages get save in ubuntu | 11:26 |
| Dr_Willis | the .deb files get cached to /var/cache/apt/* if thats what you mean | 11:26 |
| Dr_Willis | i may have the dirs backwards. :) | 11:27 |
| Dr_Willis | /var/cache/apt$ ls | 11:27 |
| Dr_Willis | archives pkgcache.bin srcpkgcache.bin | 11:27 |
| Dr_Willis | there we go. In teh 'archives' directory for the most part. | 11:27 |
| vikas | there must b so many .deb files so is it possible to get all in one .deb | 11:27 |

| vikas | because i want to save the installation files so that i can just copy in my pen drive and install on another pc without internet | 11:30 |
| Dr_Willis | copy the /var/cache/apt direcotry to the pendrive. | 11:30 |
| ddavids_ | hi | 11:30 |
| vikas | like .exe files | 11:30 |
| Jordan_U | !offline | vikas | 11:30 |
| ubottu | vikas: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.alturl.com/ - See also !APTonCD | 11:30 |
| Dr_Willis | then copy it to the other box. you will stillneed to actually reinstall the packages. but they wont be needed tobe redownloaded | 11:30 |
| Dr_Willis | vikas: so you can move/copy the .debs then use that script mentioned above and reinstall most of them. and save download time. | 11:31 |
| Dr_Willis | vikas: but that cache may NOT have everything you have ever installed. It gets cleaned out every so often | 11:31 |
| vikas | ok | 11:32 |
| vikas | another dought | 11:32 |
| K1ng | /etc/X11/xorg.conf is no more? | 11:32 |
| Dr_Willis | vikas: if you are on a home (or othe) lan, you can set up one ubuntu box as an 'apt-cacher' to cache the packages for the rest of the lan. That way the stuff gets downloaded once by one machine. the rest of the lan can use the cache from that box. | 11:32 |
| Dr_Willis | K1ng: for the most part X auto configures. so yep. xorg.conf is often not needed | 11:33 |
| Dr_Willis | K1ng: i have it on a few machines for some settings | 11:33 |

| vaibhav | how i can run my shell script at boot time? | 11:33 |
| Dr_Willis | vaibhav: put it in /etc/rc.local is one way | 11:34 |
| cppiii | when I run the ssh command, I got a warning "/usr/local/zend/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8: no version information available (required by ssh)" | 11:34 |
| cppiii | how do I fix it? | 11:34 |
| Dr_Willis | vaibhav: it has to run BEFOR users login with no X right? rc.local can do that | 11:34 |
| vaibhav | kk 'll try.. | 11:34 |
| vaibhav | Dr_Willis: thanks | 11:34 |
| kimec | cppiii: do you have openssh installed properly? | 11:34 |
| vaibhav | actually I want my graphics driver settings at boot time.. | 11:35 |
| vikas | there are many softwares vlc,opera,xchat,pidgin....etc so can v make only one .deb file of each software separately like .exe it would be easy to find and install only the needed software. Dr_Willis | 11:35 |
| cppiii | kimec: I don't know, I installed that by synaptic package manager | 11:35 |
| cppiii | kimec: I tried re-install that but also not work | 11:36 |
| kimec | cppiii: well to install ssh you should do: sudo aptitude install openssh-server openssh-client | 11:36 |
| tonysan | I accidentally delete the schema in metacity/general while using gconf-editor, how can I recover it? | 11:36 |
| cppiii | kimec: the server needed too? | 11:37 |
| n7478 | any ideas how themes can get screwed up during an upgrade and how it can be fixed? | 11:37 |
| kimec | cppiii: if I remember correctly both packages are interconnected in ubuntu. maybe not | 11:37 |
| tonysan | I deleted /schemas/apps/metacity/general/button_layout schema... | 11:37 |
| n7478 | any ideas how themes can get screwed up during an upgrade and how it can be fixed? | 11:37 |
| kimec | cppiii: I would consider having ssh server an advantage | 11:38 |
| kimec | cppiii: well it seems they are not. try aptitude install openssh-client | 11:39 |
| cppiii | kimec: I am trying to install the ssh-server, but got the error too | 11:39 |
| kimec | what error? | 11:39 |
| vikas | there are many softwares vlc,opera,xchat,pidgin....etc so can v make only one .deb file of each software separately like .exe it would be easy to find and install only the needed software. Dr_Willis | 11:39 |
| kimec | vikas: virtual packages? | 11:40 |
| kimec | or meta packages? | 11:40 |
| Dr_Willis | vikas: ubuntu package manager dosent work that way. You are thinking in windows terms | 11:40 |
| kimec | gtg | 11:40 |
| vikas | ok | 11:40 |
| kimec | cppiii: drop here those errors | 11:40 |
| Dr_Willis | vikas: if you look at how the package manager works.. vlc basically is a .deb as is opera, and xchat. the however have dependencies that are also oteh .deb packages | 11:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Thus you are not constantly redownloading 'support libs' that are 'built into' the 'installer .exe' like they do in windows. | 11:41 |
| * DarkStar2 Greets everyone present "IRC-ing in windows feels strange" :) | 11:42 | |
| Dr_Willis | vikas: you could (and i DONT suggest this) copy all those .debs to the other machine and 'sudo dpkg -i *.deb' and reinstall them all.. BUT THIS CAN break things. | 11:42 |
| tonysan | I accidentally delete the schema in metacity/general while using gconf-editor, how can I recover it? | 11:43 |
| Dr_Willis | if theres old/new versions of the .debs or other issues.. that can be a very bad idea. best to put them in the cache. and reinstall the apps using the proper commands | 11:43 |
| vikas | ya and it will install all softwares | 11:43 |
| Dr_Willis | vikas: it will install those 'deb' packages.. | 11:43 |
| al1as | hey Dr_willis please man help me i need this to work reason 4 check it out man | 11:43 |
| Dr_Willis | vikas: but I dont reccomend doing it that way | 11:43 |
| vikas | ok thnx | 11:43 |
| Dr_Willis | al1as: i asked you some time ago if that was a windows app. You never replied.. | 11:44 |

| DarkStar2 | Quick question does anyone have a problem with pidgin? specifically it adding the number 1 to your nick sometimes when you attempt to log into IRC channels? | 11:44 |
| Dr_Willis | al1as: then see the wine app database, or the #winehq channel. i cant really 'help' with a windows app ive never had/tried/cant install.. | 11:44 |
| Dr_Willis | !appdb | al1as | 11:45 |
| ubottu | al1as: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 11:45 |
| vikas | the batter thing will be to download the software packages in different folder and save them Dr_Willis | 11:45 |
| Dr_Willis | vikas: the pacakge manager archive is the same deb's you would be 'downloading' | 11:45 |
| io | DarkStar2: Possibly because your primary nickname is already in use. Most IRC clients either add a numeral or an underscore. | 11:45 |
| io | DarkStar2: However, you should get a notice telling you that from your client. I am not sure Pidgin does that notice. | 11:46 |
| al1as | ok thanks man dident help but thnx any way | 11:46 |

| Hallaj | Hi all, I've installed a server with 4 hdd to raid 5 (3 disk + 1 spare) and when I finish installing and rebooted, I get into a busybox console instead | 11:47 |
| Hallaj | I'm using the default install, is there anything wrong with it? | 11:47 |
| AceKing | For the last week or so my PC (running 10.04) has been lagging real bad. It starts up fine, but once I'm at the desktop it takes forever to open programs. Any ideas besides a re-install to fix this issue? | 11:48 |
| MaRk-I | Hallaj: were you expecting a desktop environment? | 11:48 |
| vikas | Dr_Willis, will .net framework can be installed in ubuntu to excess softwares like wine | 11:48 |
| vikas | like wind do | 11:49 |
| Dr_Willis | vikas: it dosent work that way. and you would have redundant packages in the different folders. what if prog1 and Prog2 both needed some support library.. your way would have that support.deb in both folders | 11:49 |
| cppiii | MaRk-I: I don't know... maybe I have to reinstall the ubuntu | 11:49 |
| AceKing | I should say "takes forever" just say Firefox for instance.. It takes about 5 to 8 seconds to open | 11:49 |
| Dr_Willis | vikas: ive heard .net stuff dosent work very well in wine. The few apps ive used that need .net often have tweaks to let them use the mono instead | 11:49 |
| MaRk-I | cppiii: well you need to find out first why they're in a different location | 11:49 |
| Hallaj | MaRk-I, well, I would at least hope to see my OS booted, but there's just nothing | 11:49 |
| dminus | Hallaj: is it complaining about not being able to find /dev/disk/by-uuid/[uuid] ? | 11:49 |
| cppiii | cppiii: as I remember I have installed zend-server | 11:50 |
| Hallaj | dminus: Yes, that's exactly what I saw | 11:50 |
| MaRk-I | Hallaj: any errors during boot up? | 11:50 |
| io | AceKing: Obvious question but did you install any software during that time that could have possibly caused it? | 11:50 |
| dminus | Hallaj: is it a scsi or SAS array? | 11:50 |
| Hallaj | dminus: It's SAS array | 11:50 |
| AceKing | io, I'm always installing stuff from the repositories, but nothing that I haven't had on before | 11:51 |
| dminus | you might need to add bootdelay=30 to let the array initialize, can you see anything in /dev like sda, sdb? | 11:51 |
| Hallaj | dminus: I even tried with double raid1, it's still refusing to work. | 11:51 |
| Hallaj | dminus: I'd have to reinstall. I've been trying a couple of combinations for now, none seems to be working. Let me try it and let you know. Thanks. | 11:51 |
| Hallaj | dminus: Anyway, is this because the array wasn't initialized on time for the boot? | 11:52 |
| dminus | yeah that's it exactly | 11:52 |
| vikas | i tried to install mono but did not worked how to install mono Dr_Willis | 11:52 |
| dminus | i have an old dell box with an adaptec card and had the same problem on lucid | 11:52 |
| dminus | you might need to modprobe the module for your scsi card first, then it should show detection in dmesg | 11:53 |
| io | AceKing: Unusual, something has obviously changed for it to be like that - maybe someone else can help. :-) | 11:53 |
| Ajitarsh | Hello dear, I am facing a weird problem with UBUNTU 10.04. It gets freeze after booting up. What should I do? | 11:53 |
| sangho | i want find *.tar.gz file or *.zip file with ls, how can i do this? (i know "ls *.tar.gz" command find *.tar.gz file in current directory) | 11:53 |
| dminus | then you can exit the initramfs shell and it should boot | 11:53 |
| AceKing | io, thank you for the reply. It's been driving me nuts | 11:53 |
| dminus | to fix permanently, add "doscsi rootdelay=30" to your default linux cmdline in /etc/default/grub | 11:54 |
| MaRk-I | sangho: locate *.tar.gz | 11:54 |
| vikas | Ajitarsh, where does it freezes | 11:54 |
| sangho | MaRk-I, what it means? | 11:54 |
| Hallaj | dminus: I'm running software raid, so the timeout is what I really need right? | 11:54 |
| Dr_Willis | vikas: i tend to avoide anything using .net or mono. I thouight mono was installed by default. but that dosent mean that wine apps will use it automatically | 11:54 |
| MaRk-I | sangho: it means type in terminal: locate *.tar.gz | 11:54 |
| io | sangho: "cd <folder>" then "ls | grep .tar.gz" or "ls | grep *.zip". | 11:55 |
| Shvonder | find | 11:55 |
| sangho | io, i want do that at same time | 11:55 |
| Shvonder | command | 11:55 |
| Shvonder | so use cron | 11:55 |
| dminus | Hallaj: as long as your devices are showing up in /dev, yeah, but if not you need to add doscsi | 11:55 |
| Shvonder | the corntabs | 11:55 |
| Ajitarsh | After sometime from booting up. freezing time always vary. sometime it happen within a minute sometime it takes 10-15 min. | 11:55 |
| killerhound | good day I was looking for some help about a twinview configuration in which the second monitor cannot be set to its highest native resolution (using nvidia driver) | 11:55 |
| sangho | no, i mean one result | 11:56 |
| io | sangho: "ls | grep *.tar.gz | grep *.zip" then. | 11:56 |
| Shvonder | sangho: use the corntab but with your script | 11:56 |
| dminus | Hallaj: there might be some other fix needed to force initializing the md volume though, dont do much with mdadm arrays myself :-) | 11:56 |
| io | Shvonder: His question has nothing to do with using crontab or a script. | 11:56 |
| sangho | io, that's result is None, because there is no *.zip in result of "grep *.tar.gz" | 11:56 |
| Shvonder | io: He said he wanted to find some file periodicaly | 11:57 |
| Hallaj | dminus: Oh, there's no guarantee that the grub would load then? | 11:57 |
| vikas | i have and want to use software to download books from google. it uses .net how can it be get into work in ubuntu Dr_Willis | 11:57 |
| AceKing | io, You're not going to believe this.. I tried searching again on Google and I found that I am not the only one having the problem! I'm not sure if it's ok to post a link in here, but it shows the fix | 11:57 |
| MaRk-I | AceKing: post it | 11:58 |
| dminus | Hallaj: i've had trouble in the past with that, but that's RHEL 5, so it might not be the issue | 11:58 |
| AceKing | http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-firefox-slow-problem-in-ubuntu-10-04lucid.html | 11:58 |
| io | sangho: You expected a file ending in .zip to show when using "grep *.tar.gz", obviously not. The .zip file will show when using "grep *.zip". You asked for a single command to list files ending in *.tar.gz and *.zip, which "ls | grep *.tar.gz | grep *.zip" will do. | 11:58 |
| dminus | Hallaj: did you try exiting the shell after waiting a minute or two? | 11:58 |
| tranchinh | hello | 11:58 |
| MaRk-I | AceKing: so firefox is the problem? | 11:59 |
| killerhound | Hmm still looking about that resolution problem for second monitor... | 11:59 |
| Hallaj | dminus: sometimes exit or ctrl would boot the OS | 11:59 |
| Hallaj | but most of the times, doing so will just cause the machine to freeze | 11:59 |
| AceKing | MaRK-I, yes! | 11:59 |
| io | !hi | tranchinh | 11:59 |

| Hallaj | the keyboard sequence works tho (num lock, etc) | 11:59 |
| Ajitarsh | vikas: Dear can you suggest something for it? | 11:59 |
| MaRk-I | AceKing: noted | 11:59 |
| Ajitarsh | ok | 11:59 |
| dminus | Hallaj: if you can get it booted, try just adding the rootdelay=30 (or 60 or 90) to the grub defaults | 11:59 |
| dminus | that should be all you need | 12:00 |
| Ajitarsh | Ok, I'll do and come back to you. | 12:00 |
| Hallaj | dminus: just add that to the grub file and reboot, no need to initfsram or something? | 12:00 |
| sangho | io, http://dpaste.org/CX9x/ it doesn't work | 12:01 |
| dminus | Hallaj: theres a line in /etc/default/grub that sets GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX | 12:01 |
| dminus | thats where you need to add it | 12:01 |
| vikas | Ajitarsh, go and use repair broken packages | 12:01 |
| sangho | i want show *.tar.gz and *.zip at the same time | 12:01 |

| Dr_Willis | jb12: its in there. i saw it. theres extra compiz plugins in the package manager you may need | 12:05 |
| MaRk-I | vikas: no, where are you going to save your backups if you're formating it, unles you have a separate partition and format only what you need | 12:06 |

| ^Jay2^ | does fglrx shows ati's gpu temp/ | 12:33 |
| Dr_Willis | chrism2671: the whole desktop apps would all run as seperate apps.. so you sould have windows scattered all over. try running gnome-panel and see. | 12:35 |
| Dr_Willis | chrism2671: using freenx, or vnc would keep them all int heir own 'window' and thus neater | 12:35 |
| Dr_Willis | chrism2671: run 'gnome-session' over the ssh -X . and hang on to your hat. :) | 12:35 |

| |jonathan| | if u can | 13:47 |
| Pici | Visvanath: I don't think so. Have you tried enabling the intel driver manually after installing that package? See section 5.2 of http://intellinuxgraphics.org/install.html, that is the only step there you should need. | 13:47 |
| violinappren | dewman: yes it's that simple | 13:47 |

| abhi_nav | |jonathan|, no no | 13:47 |
| dewman | violinappren, does it matter where the entry is located in the .profile? | 13:47 |
| |jonathan| | :D | 13:48 |
| scriptwarlock | lobozoo: ah i get what you mean thumbnail for the pics | 13:48 |
| abhi_nav | |jonathan|, linmodems.org is web site organisation they provide drivers for modems go to linmodems.org and see | 13:48 |

| violinappren | dewman: PATH is an environment variable that can be reassigned. For example, "PATH=$HOME/bin" would be wrong because it didn't include the previous value of PATH (that has system pathes like /usr/bin) Correct reassignment would be "PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin" | 13:57 |

| biggestchops | the os is installed, however, when i try and boot off the hard drive, i just get a bliking cursor | 13:59 |
| abhi_nav | |jonathan|, I suggest you that you call them call center and make sure that this modem works for linux. if not you may need to go to www.linmodems.org thats I know | 13:59 |
| llutz | placed* | 13:59 |
| dminus | Ex-Opesa: did you get any message when modprobe failed? | 14:00 |
| Ex-Opesa | dminus: Yes | 14:00 |
| Visvanath | Why doesn't sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf work ? | 14:00 |
| blain | biggestchops software raid? | 14:00 |
| biggestchops | yeah blain | 14:00 |
| |jonathan| | okk thank u | 14:00 |
| realubot | I want to usen two different keyboards and mouse on the same computer, one per user. Is there any way to achieve this in Ubuntu? | 14:00 |
| biggestchops | i use mdadm to build the multi-device drives | 14:00 |
| blain | i know | 14:01 |
| biggestchops | the installer can see and install to those drives just fine | 14:01 |
| violinappren | Visvanath: what error? | 14:01 |
| Ex-Opesa | dminus: It was: 8139too 0000:02:02:0: PCI INT A -> GSI 52 (level, low) -> IRQ 21 | 14:01 |
| blain | but i think you can only create a full software raid after the installation | 14:01 |
| Visvanath | violinappren, empty file ? | 14:01 |
| blain | at least for /boot partition | 14:01 |
| Visvanath | violinappren, that opens an empty file ? | 14:01 |
| Ex-Opesa | dminus: It was: 8139too Chip is not responding, ignoring board | 14:01 |
| dlublink | llutz => Thanks, you are right. I moved the script to the said directory and the script runs. thanks! | 14:01 |
| Visvanath | violinappren, There is no xorg.conf under etc/x11 | 14:01 |
| biggestchops | blain: can you explain that a little further? | 14:01 |
| biggestchops | please | 14:01 |

| echa | in evince when i fill in a PDF form and choose Print -> to file format PDF the form comes out empty i.e. without my text | 14:01 |
| violinappren | Visvanath: does "less" (instead of nano) work? | 14:02 |
| blain | create /boot in a normal partition and the rest in a normal software raid device with lvm on top of it | 14:02 |
| blain | after the instalation you need to create another array for /boot | 14:02 |
| |jonathan| | what do u write command in ubuntu in terminal? | 14:02 |
| Visvanath | violinappren, No such file or directory. I use 10.04 lynx | 14:02 |
| blain | it's hard to explain actually | 14:02 |
| biggestchops | blain: no kidding! | 14:03 |
| biggestchops | so let me see if i get it: | 14:03 |
| Visvanath | Does anyone know where to find xorg.conf in 10.04 ? | 14:03 |
| Pici | Visvanath: run; sudo Xorg -configure to create an intial xorg.conf file that you can edit. | 14:03 |
| dminus | Ex-Opesa: do you dual-boot with windows by any chance? | 14:03 |
| Ex-Opesa | dminus: Nope just linux since around 1.5 years ^^ | 14:03 |
| violinappren | Visvanath: then Xorg is autoconfigured. Use "Xorg -configure" to generate a config file | 14:03 |
| Visvanath | Pici, violinappren thanks | 14:04 |
| blain | during installation create an /dev/md1 for the system except the /boot which will be in a normal partition | 14:04 |
| biggestchops | blain: i did that | 14:04 |
| biggestchops | then what? | 14:04 |
| io | violinappren: Xorg doesn't use a configuration file by default - it tries to recognize everything automatically. If you create a configuration file it will be used though. | 14:04 |
| abhi_nav | !who | |jonathan| | 14:04 |
| ubottu | |jonathan|: 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 :) | 14:04 |
| abhi_nav | |jonathan|, which command? | 14:04 |
| violinappren | io, thanks, i'm aware of that | 14:04 |
| blain | then after the system is installed you will recreate the /boot inside /dev/md0 which you will create | 14:04 |
| dminus | Ex-Opesa: some people have been able to fix it with a "wake-on-lan after shutdown" setting, in the windows driver | 14:05 |
| Visvanath | Pici, after it will be over, what to edit in that file ? Section 5.2 of the page that you have given... Just to change the driver name to "intel" ? | 14:05 |
| |jonathan| | abhi_nav this command the command like any kind of command | 14:05 |
| io | violinappren: Then why were you trying to find it? | 14:05 |
| abhi_nav | !cli | |jonathan| | 14:05 |
| ubottu | |jonathan|: 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 or type in it: man intro | 14:05 |
| dminus | Ex-Opesa: maybe try playing with any wake on lan settings in your BIOS perhaps | 14:05 |
| Pici | Visvanath: Exactly. | 14:05 |
| io | violinappren: Er, that wasn't for you was it? :-| | 14:05 |
| violinappren | io: nope, it wasn't | 14:05 |
| Ex-Opesa | dminus: Okay, i will reboot the system and turn on wake on lan setting | 14:05 |
| io | violinappren: Sorry. :-) | 14:05 |
| Pici | Visvanath: Also, make sure that the "Module" section contains glx and dri. | 14:06 |

| biggestchops | blain: so far, i do the os install on /dev/md0, except for boot which lives on a regular /dev/sda2 which is not on raid. | 14:06 |

| ravibn | the Arch i686 distro boots this machine very well | 14:27 |
| philinux | ravibn: can you get a livecd to boot that machine | 14:27 |
| bazhang | Tipu-Sultan, nothing to do with Ubuntu support | 14:27 |
| ravibn | nope the livecd does not showup any error just a blank screen | 14:28 |
| Tipu-Sultan | bazhang: can you tell me where i can ask this question ? | 14:28 |
| MaRk-I | ravibn: I just posted a link... read it | 14:28 |
| ravibn | so I tried a virtual machine | 14:28 |
| bazhang | ravibn, checked the md5? burned at very low speed? did the disk integrity check? | 14:28 |
| mr_chris | I'm using stock Ubuntu Lucid 64 bit. I'm using VLC to listen to some music. I've noticed that the libnotify plugin is installed but it doesn't seem to be using libnotify for it's notifications. Instead it has the normal bottom right hand notifications. Has anyone else experienced this? | 14:28 |
| bazhang | Tipu-Sultan, #ubuntu-offtopic | 14:28 |
| ravibn | I hv checked md5 | 14:28 |
| bazhang | ravibn, and the rest? | 14:28 |
| ravibn | mark I tried all of that trick it does not work | 14:29 |
| bazhang | ravibn, alternate cd as well as live cd? | 14:29 |
| scriptwarlock | ravibn: have you tried also the alternate installer? | 14:29 |
| MaRk-I | ravibn: ok then | 14:29 |
| wers | what's the app that views a windows mobile device's screen and even lets the user interact with it on Ubuntu? | 14:29 |
| ravibn | I have installed that livecd on other machine with core to quad desktop | 14:29 |
| BackSplash | may I ask anything? | 14:30 |
| bazhang | ravibn, so not tried the alternate? | 14:30 |
| bazhang | BackSplash, related to Ubuntu support | 14:30 |
| BackSplash | I'd need some expert in "asterisk" | 14:31 |
| Ex-Opesa | dminus: MaRK-1: I disabled Boot from lan ROM, lets see now.... | 14:31 |
| ravibn | basically the ISO on ubuntu.com supports x86 cpu mine is i686 cpu so none of the ISO will support | 14:31 |
| bazhang | BackSplash, install from repos sudo apt-get install asterisk | 14:31 |
| ravibn | except the new planned Maverick may work | 14:31 |
| Ex-Opesa | dminus: MaRK-1: Till now its fine. | 14:31 |
| Hanzerik-VM | yes it will ravibn | 14:31 |
| bazhang | ravibn, sure it will. try the alternate | 14:31 |
| KrisDouglas | Hello everyone | 14:31 |
| Ex-Opesa | Hi | 14:31 |
| plazia | I can't access my tty's. I ctrl+alt+f1 - f5 and x disappears and it goes to them but there's no prompt or even cursor; just a blank screen. How do I re-enable the consoles? | 14:32 |
| BackSplash | er... well I'm a server expert... my problem is not on how to install some software, I just wanted to learn something more on how to use asterisk as a unit fot telephony | 14:32 |
| ravibn | with the virtual box It works very well | 14:32 |
| |jonathan| | im really in trouble | 14:32 |
| |jonathan| | :( | 14:32 |
| ravibn | except for the video display | 14:32 |
| Hanzerik-VM | bazhang, Alt=Debian NetInstall? Just asking I never have problems with Ubuntu CDs | 14:32 |
| ravibn | so I decided to compile from the source | 14:32 |
| bazhang | BackSplash, try #asterisk | 14:33 |
| violinappren | ravibn: try listening to people instead of just claiming things. i686 is part of the x86 family. and they told you to download and try the alternative cd NOT the live cd | 14:33 |
| === sam_ is now known as sinusoid | ||

| philinux | pepper_haze: restore to what default? | 14:38 |

| pepper_haze | what happens is sometimes when I click on the header to a window it maximizes instead of clicking on it to move it. | 14:38 |
| philinux | pepper_haze: that it normal for a double click. | 14:38 |

| violinappren | pepper_haze: move what? the whole window or it's button in the panel (like firefox tabs) ? | 14:39 |
| philinux | pepper_haze: I have to double click to get it to do that. Have you been tweaking compiz | 14:39 |

| alkisg | dips: see also http://gambas.sourceforge.net/en/main.html | 14:45 |

| Tricia | Hey, when I set gnome-terminal to a shortcut, it doesn't use gnome keyring. But when I click the icon in gnome-panel it works fine | 14:46 |
| Tricia | how do I make the shortcut have the proper env variables? | 14:46 |
| shauno | lvh: it can, but it doesn't mean everything will just work. I'm not sure libraries such as winforms are complete yet | 14:46 |
| lvh | I don't understand why you'd use a language like Gambas when you've got languages that are much, much nicer that work flawlessly on almost all platforms? | 14:47 |
| lvh | (the implementations of which*, if you want to be pedantic) | 14:47 |
| MaRk-I | Tricia: how do you make the shorcut? | 14:47 |
| Slart | Tricia: you can set enviroment variables before the actual command, I think it works even in shortcuts.. | 14:47 |
| pepper_haze | scriptwarlock, that command line you gave me doesn't work | 14:47 |
| Slart | Tricia: something like SOMEVARIABLE=SOMEVALUE myawesomeprogram should work | 14:47 |
| Tricia | MaRk-I: system->preferences->keyboard shortcut | 14:48 |
| violinappren | lvh: all .NET languages are compiled to IL (intermediate language) binaries that a .NET runtime will run regardless of the language | 14:48 |
| scriptwarlock | pepper_haze: dont include the , | 14:48 |
| alkisg | Why would gnome-terminal use the keyring?! | 14:48 |
| lvh | violinappren: I am aware of how CIL works | 14:48 |
| scriptwarlock | pepper_haze: gconftool-2 --shutdown | 14:48 |
| IdleOne | pepper_haze: you are trying to reset the panels to default? | 14:48 |
| Tricia | alkisg: ..why wouldn't it? | 14:48 |
| sipior | alkisg: storing passphrases, i imagine. | 14:48 |
| IdleOne | !resetpanels | 14:48 |
| ubottu | To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 14:48 |
| scriptwarlock | pepper_haze: rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel | 14:48 |
| lvh | violinappren: unfortunately, what you just said is theory and not practice, for example all mobile .NET platforms miss System.Reflection.Emit (just one example) | 14:49 |
| scriptwarlock | pepper_haze: pkill gnome-panel | 14:49 |
| pepper_haze | still doesn't work, scriptwarlock | 14:49 |
| alkisg | Tricia, sipior: it never asked me for any passphrases, that's why I'm asking. Has it ever asked you? | 14:49 |
| lvh | violinappren: so yes, if you could compile everything statically down to CIL everything would work, but that's not actually something that happens in the real world :) | 14:49 |
| sipior | alkisg: no, saving passphrases for rsa authentication, is what i meant. | 14:49 |
| scriptwarlock | pepper_haze: your using lucid right? | 14:49 |
| philinux | pepper_haze: try disabling compiz | 14:50 |
| alkisg | sipior: you mean ssh, not gnome-terminal, then? | 14:50 |
| Tricia | alkisg: ssh with key it asks. | 14:50 |
| alkisg | Tricia: still not gnome terminal... | 14:50 |
| pepper_haze | scriptwarlock, I am using 10.04, and the cut and paste is barely working, I almost feel as though I have been hacked | 14:50 |
| sipior | alkisg: well, you run ssh from gnome-terminal, thus... | 14:50 |
| scriptwarlock | pepper_haze: thats impossible | 14:50 |
| Tricia | alkisg: what? when I connect somewhere via ssh with key, the keyring thing pops up and has me enter the passphrase for the key | 14:50 |
| scriptwarlock | pepper_haze: then manually type it to the terminal | 14:51 |
| sipior | alkisg: gnome-terminal provides the ssh-agent functionality as a matter of convenience. | 14:51 |
| IdleOne | pepper_haze: gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel | 14:51 |
| Tricia | I know it's gnome-terminal because I'm staring right at the env variables. if it doesn't use gnome-keyring it falls back to ssh-agent | 14:51 |
| alkisg | Tricia: that's ssh, not gnome-terminal. And you see a difference there depending on how you start it? | 14:51 |
| Tricia | alkisg: :| | 14:52 |
| pepper_haze | scriptwarlock, thanks the pkill command worked, everything on my desktop works now, thanks | 14:52 |
| alkisg | Tricia: it shouldn't matter even if you used xterm for that... it's not a gnome-terminal feature afaik. | 14:52 |
| Tricia | alkisg: it's. an. enviromental. variable. It does not get set when I use the shortcut. | 14:52 |
| Tricia | but it does when I click the button | 14:52 |
| alkisg | Tricia: which environment variable? | 14:52 |
| Tricia | GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL and GNOME_KEYRING_PID | 14:53 |

| IdleOne | cristian_c: let me install and see, give me a moment | 15:27 |

| icebreaker | how? | 15:27 |
| trojan_spike | how wud i go about changing my grub boot order?? i.e,, win7 first (default) | 15:28 |

| Shervanator | hi! im just playing around with my ubuntu server at home, ive been having problems with the whole system slowing down (till it stops responding to any network traffic) while it is doing any "serious" work, this involves running some php script or sending files over sftp, just wondering if anyone has had a similar problem or knows what it could be? | 15:29 |
| Tricia | alkisg: but then I have a custom shortcut which runs gnome-terminal :S | 15:29 |
| alkisg | Tricia: ok, and does it have the env variable if you open gnome-terminal this way? | 15:29 |
| IdleOne | cristian_c: I am getting the same printer icon with a x on it. That means the printer is not supported. | 15:29 |

| IdleOne | cristian_c: what brand printer do you have? | 15:29 |
| Tricia | alkisg: yeah. ctrl-alt-t makes it work fine | 15:29 |

| alkisg | Tricia: ok, what I didn't yet understand is _where_ is this shortcut that you defined with meta+f2... | 15:30 |
| Dr_Willis | icebreaker: mint is ubuntu based. you can convert/use rpms on ubuntu and mint.. but its not a good idea | 15:30 |

| icebreaker | for my motherboard? | 15:37 |
| Tricia | alkisg: I figured out what's causing it but I don't know why. | 15:37 |
| Dr_Willis | icebreaker: with lots of progeming knowledge | 15:37 |
| bazhang | noooob, using unetbootin? a live usb installer key? helpful but not necessary | 15:37 |
| Tricia | alkisg: I use --working-directory to set it to start in /home/tricia | 15:37 |
| icebreaker | like what exactly?? | 15:37 |
| Dr_Willis | icebreaker: and a lot of learning... | 15:37 |

| nawk | but i can't get it the 'wlan0' interface to appear | 15:37 |
| icebreaker | and is asembly language needed...?? | 15:38 |
| Slart | icebreaker: writing kernel modules without lots of experience is like juggling with chain saws.. things get ugly unless you start with something easier =) | 15:38 |
| alkisg | Tricia: ah, I see. I think a bug needs to be filed for this... | 15:38 |
| bazhang | icebreaker, this is ubuntu support; did you have any ubuntu support issues? | 15:38 |
| noooob | how can i use airhack to find out my neighbours wifi password? | 15:38 |
| Dr_Willis | icebreaker: assembly is normally not used much these days | 15:38 |
| Pici | noooob: That is not supported in this channel. | 15:38 |
| Slart | noooob: we don't do those kinds of things here | 15:38 |
| noooob | oh sorry | 15:38 |
| bazhang | noooob, please dont ask. its offtopic on this network and this channel | 15:38 |

| philinux | icebreaker: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=385 | 15:40 |
| alkisg | Tricia: whatever launches these commands shouldn't use / in the first place, so I'd start with that one. Maybe file it in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center and if it's not that one they'll move it. | 15:40 |
| Traveler9 | why, everytime i do a minimal install, after i just get a blinking cursor? | 15:40 |

| pure_hate | you write a module | 15:41 |
| cablop | i want to stop updates to keep appearing each start | 15:41 |

| IdleOne | Traveler9: the minimal install is exactly that. A minimum of what is needed to run ubuntu. You can install a GUI, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 15:42 |

| Traveler9 | anyone know what i should do? | 15:48 |

| abhinav_singh1 | Slart: i found it brother even you can add color and case ignoring by this grep (command) --color -i -R * | 15:48 |
| Slart | sidh: just like you did the first time.. if you're using the driver from the repos you don't have to do anything.. it will be done automatically | 15:48 |
| sidh | http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/nvidia <- i found | 15:48 |

| Slart | Lantizia: yes | 15:51 |
| Lantizia | Slart, any tips on how? | 15:51 |

| w00tw00t | sigh! | 15:52 |
| violinappren | Lantizia: yes you can, use Xorg :1 | 15:52 |
| Marko1111 | hey | 15:52 |
| Lantizia | violinappren, I don't follow | 15:52 |
| Slart | Lantizia: ah.. Xorg might be the one as well | 15:52 |
| Lantizia | I know that this is display 0 | 15:52 |
| Lantizia | does display 1 automatically appear on Ctrl+Alt+F8 ? | 15:53 |
| violinappren | Lantizia: switch to a terminal (using alt+ctrl+f2 for example,) log in, and then issue that command | 15:53 |
| Marko1111 | why cant i change my screen resolution to 1024x786 if it is present in the xorg.conf? | 15:54 |

| BigMao | Hi there, I want to remove a package "libgl1-mesa-dri", but when I remove it, it says it'll also uninstall "xorg". Why is this? | 16:46 |
| sno | visvanath: yes but im not sure you understand my answer, re-run the command to create the blank xorg.conf then type "pwd" to show you where you are , then mv that file to the correct place | 16:46 |
| augdawg | tucemiux oh i see. is there anyway i can set alltray to autostart when i boot my machine? | 16:46 |
| joaopinto | BigMao, because that's a core package, Xorg depends on it | 16:46 |

| matteo1990 | scriptwarlock, i have tried but i still get the error also after deleting the files in /var | 17:01 |

| sreeju | please answer me | 17:08 |

| |jonathan| | scriptwarlock what kinda messing | 17:08 |

| cornbread | joaopinto: so, just license issues. I was just making sure it wasn't for a technical reason | 17:09 |
| itsonlym3 | i guess i could try setting it up in a VM on this machine to see if have the same prob. | 17:09 |
| noolness | cornbread, going forward it's probably going to be the version that's best tuned for linux too | 17:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Sun did such a 'good' job of annying people with their licensing. :) | 17:09 |

| Dr_Willis | BigMao: GDM handles the login. its running on top of X. | 17:20 |

| === rider is now known as Guest37727 | ||
| BigMao | Dr_Willis, I want to restart the X server on a remote machine since I edited the xorg.conf. (Specifically, I need to turn off direct rendering) | 17:20 |
| Dr_Willis | BigMao: so they are radically different things. | 17:20 |
| BigMao | Dr_Willis, that's also what I thought, thanks.. Do you know how to restart the X server? | 17:20 |
| Dr_Willis | BigMao: 'sudo service gdm restart' should restart X | 17:20 |
| BigMao | Dr_Willis, thanks. :) | 17:21 |
| visvanath | Dr_Willis: do you know how to move a created xorg.conf and make ubuntu work that. | 17:21 |
| |jonathan| | schestowitz u mean internet? | 17:21 |
| Dr_Willis | visvanath: copy it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart X.. | 17:21 |
| scriptwarlock | jonathan: internet connection | 17:21 |
| Pici | scriptwarlock: Do you have a moment for a pm? | 17:22 |
| scriptwarlock | Pici: sure | 17:22 |
| |jonathan| | scriptwarlock becoz im using a usb modem and i cannot configure it :D.. | 17:22 |
| visvanath | Pici: how do i make a generated xorg.conf to work ? | 17:22 |
| weezelding | seems like some update have broke mp3 support. anyone suffered from the same problem? | 17:22 |
| |jonathan| | from yesterday im trying to solve the problem but no one can help me they just say call ur vandor.... | 17:22 |
| scriptwarlock | Pici: go ahead boss | 17:22 |
| visvanath | Pici: I am sorry if my question is simple but i am only an total beginner :( | 17:23 |
| BigMao | Dr_Willis, "service gdm restart" seems to have restarted GDM, I don't know if it restarted X.. My problem still remains, it's still doing direct rendering | 17:23 |
| scriptwarlock | jonathan: model of your usb modem | 17:23 |
| BigMao | Dr_Willis, do you know how to turn off direct rendering? I'm trying to run a program remotely that opens an OpenGL window | 17:23 |
| sno | visvanath: it knows to use the file if you save it in /etc/X11/ as xorg.conf then restart X/your display manager. | 17:23 |
| |jonathan| | scriptwarlock how can i know the usb modem model can u tell me? | 17:23 |
| Dr_Willis | BigMao: do ' sudo service gdm stop ' and X should stop. :) | 17:23 |
| |jonathan| | no model written there | 17:23 |
| Dr_Willis | BigMao: never noticed or needed to. | 17:24 |
| visvanath | sno you mean i have to move it and then restart or logout/login ? | 17:24 |
| |jonathan| | its vodafone usb edge modem . qualcom modem is also written there | 17:24 |
| BigMao | Dr_Willis, I can still open X windows even after "sudo service gdm stop" | 17:24 |
| Dr_Willis | visvanath: copy it to proper place. then use 'sudo service gdm restart' Tat will force you to log out. | 17:24 |
| Dr_Willis | BigMao: Hmm. somthing is odd there.. that should log you out back to the GDm login screen | 17:24 |
| sno | visvanath: login/out is fine, but if your X is already running/working im not sure what the point of creating an xorg.conf is | 17:25 |
| BigMao | Dr_Willis, I'm logging into the machine remotely. I can't see its desktop | 17:25 |
| matteo1990 | i am having problems with gnome, windows are pretty ugly and if i choose a background image it selects automatically a solid color... How to fix it? | 17:25 |

| Dr_Willis | BigMao: so err.. what does this have to do with xorg.conf then? | 17:25 |
| sipior | BigMao: you edited the X configuration file on your *local* machine, right? | 17:25 |
| scriptwarlock | jonathan: use pastebin if you want | 17:25 |
| |jonathan| | scriptwarlock i hava a tutorial i tried that way.... | 17:26 |
| scriptwarlock | jonathan: link | 17:26 |
| BigMao | Dr_Willis, my problem is that the OpenGL windows are rendering on the remote machine, whereas I need them to render on the local machine. I'm not sure if this can be accomplished by editing xorg.conf | 17:26 |
| BigMao | The remote machine has no graphics card, my local machine does | 17:26 |
| |jonathan| | yeah link | 17:26 |
| BigMao | but I am running the program on the remote machine | 17:26 |
| Dr_Willis | BigMao: you did 'ssh -X remotebox' ? | 17:27 |
| === ttl- is now known as ttl_afk | ||

| oCean_ | !afk > ttl_afk | 17:27 |
| ubottu | ttl_afk, please see my private message | 17:27 |
| Dr_Willis | BigMao: i dont think xorg.conf has any thing to do with that.. I wonder what would happen if you just shut down gdm, on the remote box. :) then there would be no display fior it to go to. | 17:27 |
| talfeo | Can anyone help me with pc to pc networking between an xp box and Ubuntu? They are connected via cross cable. | 17:27 |
| Dr_Willis | BigMao: what program is this anyway>? | 17:27 |
| Dr_Willis | talfeo: setup static ip's or a dhcp server. seeif they can ping each other by ip.. if so . they are networked. | 17:28 |
| BigMao | Dr_Willis, when I type in "glxgears -info", the first line is: GL_RENDERER = Mesa X11. What I would like it to say is: GL_RENDERER = GeForce 9500 GT/PCI/SSE2 (the gfx card on my local box .. it isn't on the remote box) | 17:28 |
| BigMao | I know for sure that this works, because I get the latter output on an older machine, which also doesn't have a gfx card | 17:29 |
| Dr_Willis | BigMao: one normally dosent run programs that use 3d graphics over the network like that. | 17:29 |
| visvanath | sno I editted and paste dmy xorg.conf onto /etc/x11 | 17:29 |
| julgutierrez | what is a good and secure alternative to openvpn | 17:29 |
| BigMao | Dr_Willis, I know, but for my application, that's what I'd like to do | 17:29 |
| talfeo | Dr Wllis, I tried that but the network card wont light up? Funny thing though, when i swap out iether one of the pc's with another, they nic lights up. ny thoughts? | 17:29 |
| scriptwarlock | jonathan: wheres the link? | 17:29 |
| pittstains | hello... there's a command you can use to bring up the menu you get when you're installing a new server... the one that asks if you're installing a LAMP or a mail server or what. | 17:29 |
| BigMao | If I type in glxinfo, it will say "direct rendering: Yes", but I want to change it to "No" | 17:29 |
| Dr_Willis | talfeo: gigabit nic's are supposed to auto-negoiate and not need a 'crossover' cable. non-gb cards will need one. or a router/hub/switch. | 17:30 |
| pittstains | anyone give me the name of that command please. can't think of it | 17:30 |
| erUSUL | pittstains: sudo tasksel ? | 17:30 |

| Spaztic_One | OK, I have a couple of issues at the moment, I'll start with the one that has been around the most: Icons at the top (network connection, battery status, volume, etc) get jumbled around from one bootup to the next. How can I grant more stability to them? | 17:38 |
| blackxored | duffydack, neither both of them connect, with or without ssl / old ssl / ignore ssl errors / encryption required | 17:38 |
| blackxored | don't connect | 17:38 |
| airtonix | Aamir__, that theme is a bad approximation of macosx theme | 17:39 |

| blackxored | pidgin/empathy/gajim doesn't, why's that | 17:39 |
| Aamir__ | which mac theme do i get? | 17:39 |
| scriptwarlock | jonathan: connect your usb modem then lsusb | 17:39 |

| Aamir__ | thanks | 17:40 |
| airtonix | Aamir__, i find that docky does the job fine | 17:40 |

| duffydack | blackxored, firewall blocking that port? | 17:42 |
| blackxored | duffydack, are you using ssl or without it? still can't connect :'( | 17:42 |
| cellofellow | Grayhane: if you want to search your history, try history | grep searchterm or C-r. | 17:42 |
| airtonix | Aamir__, "themes" fall into three general categories : Window Frames, GUI widget controls, & Icons. | 17:42 |
| blackxored | duffydack, don't believe that, phone after the same firewall | 17:42 |
| Vigo | xepra: I do like Blender, I also use and have liked many of the Paul Lutus ones, they are Java or PPL. | 17:42 |

| blackxored | duffydack, works, my machine has allowed outbound traffic, all of this | 17:42 |
| duffydack | blackxored, plain ssl | 17:42 |

| nkei0 | heya everyone | 17:43 |
| duffydack | blackxored, can you login with the account on the web? | 17:43 |
| airtonix | Aamir__, Icons... go in the folder ~/.icons | 17:43 |
| blackxored | duffydack, i believe so | 17:43 |
| Spaztic_One | Icons in the top panel (network connection, battery status, volume, etc) get jumbled around from one bootup to the next and occasionally one will be half covered by another. How can I grant more stability to them? | 17:43 |

| Aamir__ | how do i intsall this? | 17:45 |

| xim_ | blackxored, ah thanks | 17:48 |
| Aamir__ | listen i want 0.4.0 not the 0.3x version | 17:48 |
| Aamir__ | and the 0.4.0 is not in the software centre | 17:49 |
| airtonix | Aamir__, we already told you what to research | 17:49 |
| Aamir__ | what was that? | 17:49 |
| sno | barfster: thats a p2 based system? you might be better using xfce instead of gnome, or an older release of ubuntu. | 17:49 |
| airtonix | Aamir__, ppa ? | 17:49 |
| Spaztic_One | scriptwarlock: Yes, things remain the same when resuming from a suspended state or sleep, but when booting up they may change. | 17:49 |
| blackxored | barfster, you certainly need lubuntu or xubuntu, or debian | 17:49 |

| xepra | Vigo, with Blender can I do something like create a box, say 12"x11.5"x4" and have it with the dimensions labeled from a bunch of different perspectives? | 17:50 |
| Aamir__ | ok thanks for the info | 17:50 |
| Spaztic_One | scriptwarlock: Yes | 17:50 |
| xim_ | it still seems like, it only lets you set one sound? the "alert" sound, what sound is that? also I cant really customize it, its a just a preset list of radio boxes with no previews or ability to browse for files...? | 17:50 |
| erUSUL | xepra: ufortunately the state of free CAD/CAM in linux is best described as non-state | 17:50 |

| xim_ | blackxored, so just to be clear as the os comes by default, you cannot directly manipulate the system sounds? you have to package them in themes or download apps for it? | 17:52 |
| xim_ | thanks | 17:53 |
| duffydack | blackxored, <stream:stream version="1.0" xmlns="jabber:client" xmlns:stream="http://etherx.jabber.org/streams" to="gmail.com" thats mine | 17:53 |
| blackxored | xim_, you can but i wouldn't recommend that to you, there are on /usr/share/sounds | 17:53 |
| Spaztic_One | blackxored: What is an application that does that? I have been kind of curious about customizations such as that and the boot splash screen, but I haven't really looked into it. | 17:53 |
| blackxored | duffydack, no reply after that | 17:53 |
| blackxored | blackxored, :( | 17:53 |
| blackxored | after ages, a server closed connection | 17:53 |
| xepra | Vigo, sorry I didn't quite understand your response... So vanilla Blender won't be able to, but with tweaking (and perhaps compiling) it will? | 17:53 |

| MAMetalGeek_Noob | Hi James20 you about? | 17:56 |
| Cube`` | nirn_: but how do i use it? | 17:56 |
| |jonathan| | :) | 17:56 |
| tucemiux | BigMao, try ps aux and "top" | 17:56 |
| duffydack | !fsck | Cube`` | 17:56 |
| ubottu | Cube``: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 17:56 |
| Vigo | xepra: Besides grazing at the FSF directory, you could look at the openBSD, Debian /directories for that. | 17:56 |
| BigMao | tucemiux, I already tried the first one. For "top", I don't know how to filter the processes by name | 17:56 |
| |jonathan| | scriptwarlock and im using gp internet which doenst need any pass or username and its apn is gpinternet | 17:56 |
| researcher1 | Mozilla browser sometimes closes suddenly and mouse slows down. I need guidance | 17:56 |

| kholzer | close properly). | 17:57 |

| xepra | Vigo, alright, thanks. | 17:58 |
| BigMao | tucemiux, perhaps I don't understand how this works. Does there have to be a process running on the server for me to be able to open up xwindows? | 17:58 |
| tucemiux | BigMao, use "top", look at the output then ask more questions | 17:58 |
| scriptwarlock | jonathan: mind if i can pm you this is a bit long session for you | 17:58 |
| |jonathan| | scriptwarlock no problem dude i can do anything | 17:58 |
| Vigo | xepra: You are quite welcome, I hope that the input assist you. | 17:59 |
| scriptwarlock | jonathan: anyway well post here how you did the connectio with usb and ubuntu successfuly | 17:59 |
| xim_ | blackxored, hmm ok, its suprising as many versions as ubuntu has gone through, as many simple simple settings menu apps as it comes with, it doesnt allow you to do something so basic as change the pointers to sound files for the system events | 17:59 |
| RayzrShrp | anybody know why when i run aptitude from a terminal there are all kinds of weird characters in there | 17:59 |
| BigMao | tucemiux, there are lots of processes running in top. There are more than the screen can display .. how do I look for a specific entry? | 17:59 |
| tucemiux | BigMao, if you can log in locally to your server, as in physically log in and you see a GUI environment then you must have an x server running | 17:59 |
| tucemiux | BigMao, if you have Xorg running then you must have an xserver running on your server, if you dont want any GUI then try ubuntu-server | 18:00 |

| LjL | KrisDouglas: just specify it manually. make 24 separate entries in the crontab, each for a separate hour. | 18:07 |
| MFen | occasionally when i actually mount one of the disks, the widget will show up (sometimes several, because i keep adding them, because they don't appear) | 18:07 |
| MFen | but i can't just make the widget appear with icons for the disks available to be mounted | 18:08 |
| RayzrShrp | anybody even see my text? | 18:08 |
| tucemiux | MFen, you constalty add and remove hard drives ?? | 18:08 |
| tucemiux | RayzrShrp, no | 18:08 |
| MFen | not drives. the widget | 18:08 |
| KrisDouglas | aaaaah awesome idea, thank you LjL | 18:08 |
| RayzrShrp | is this just a utf-8 issue with aptitude? | 18:08 |
| MFen | although i do frequently plug in and unplug external drives | 18:08 |

My problem is that even when specifying udev/hal rules, the drive gets mounted in /media/ under a specific label (say: "label") but if I disconnect the drive and reconnect it, the "label" folder often remains so it seems hal is creating another free folder namely something like "label-1" or "label__".

| Ronak | Hi guys! Can someone please tell me the big differences between Ubuntu and Debian? I've got a book about Debian and I'm asking myself if reading it could also help me with Ubuntu. | 18:36 |
| opc_0de | Strav: yeah will try my luck . tks for the help.. :) | 18:36 |
| sebsebseb | Ronak: Ubuntu is based on Debian | 18:37 |
| pgpkeys | you can even use the debian repositories with ubuntu if you so chose | 18:37 |
| erUSUL | Ronak: it will definetively help | 18:37 |
| sebsebseb | !debian | Ronak pgpkeys | 18:37 |
| ubottu | Ronak pgpkeys: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/what-is-debian.html - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 18:37 |
| erUSUL | pgpkeys: that's not recomanded at all | 18:37 |
| Ronak | sebsebseb: I know that Ubuntu is based on Debian, but I just don't know the differences | 18:38 |
| mbeierl | sorry ... can't seem to find the fix offhand - anyone know how to fix the extremely low resolution problem for ttys in lucid when using nvidia drivers? | 18:38 |
| Strav | Ronak: the big difference between the two lies mostly in some patches here and there that the ubuntu devs fail to upstream to Debian, and that Debian stable moves slower than ubuntu. As for the structures, commands, etc. it's pretty much the same. | 18:38 |

| oCean_ | Hund: maybe ask in #lighttpd ? | 18:39 |
| erUSUL | dheerosaur: open the menu editor ? | 18:39 |
| sebsebseb | Ronak: uhmm | 18:40 |
| sebsebseb | Ronak: Debian is basically Ubuntu, but without a load of Ubuntu features that I don't like :D | 18:40 |
| Hund | oCean_: Never thought of that. :P doh | 18:40 |
| erUSUL | dheerosaur: i did gnome-key<tab> ---> gnome-keybinding-properties | 18:40 |
| Strav | dheerosaur: look in /usr/bin/ and check if there's anything that looks like the name of your application. | 18:40 |
| slinker1 | sebsebseb: :) | 18:40 |
| dheerosaur | erUSUL: I want to create a keyboard shortcut for some X application. How do I find the terminal command for it? | 18:40 |
| erUSUL | dheerosaur: as i said... use the menu editor to llok it up | 18:41 |
| erUSUL | dheerosaur: as i said... use the menu editor to look it up | 18:41 |
| erUSUL | dheerosaur: right click on the menu choose edit | 18:41 |
| dheerosaur | dheerosaur: Thank you | 18:41 |
| Ronak | sebsebseb: :) | 18:41 |
| sebsebseb | Ronak: Ubuntu gets based on Debian testing, which keeps on getting updated. and then eventaully that becomes Debian Stable, and they work on the next Debian. Trying Debian out as well, is a good idea. Virtual machine is one way to do it, but Live CD or proper install for a much more proper expereince. Anyway saying the differences between distros in here, is a bit off topic, I would actsaully suggest ##linux for this, since its a general | 18:41 |

| bugattack | hello does anyone know why my audio doesn't work in ubuntu | 19:57 |
| schlaftier | Wavesonics: then any text editor will do as long as you tell it the encoding. But you have been warned, it is not necessarily a valid svn dump file after manually editing. | 19:58 |
| oCean_ | debit: make sure php module is enabled in apache, see /etc/apache2/mods-enabled | 19:58 |
| luanlmd | Godfather8850, the SO inside virtualbox wont recnize your hardware and its drivers, you can install virtualbox guest addtions to get a better graphics into the guest SO | 19:58 |

| Godfather8850 | dreamer000, thank you very much for your help | 20:06 |
| dajhorn | codeshah: He needs the "execute" permission on each directory, including yours, that constitutes his $HOME directory. | 20:07 |
| icebreaker | why isn't there a root account in ubuntu like in red hat?? | 20:07 |
| bazhang | icebreaker, ubuntu uses sudo | 20:07 |
| icebreaker | i am using hardy heron.... | 20:07 |
| james20 | For security, icebreaker. You can access the root account via sudo | 20:07 |
| james20 | !sudo | 20:07 |
| ubottu | 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 | 20:07 |
| codeshah | dajhorn, currently that directory is owned by <me>:<me> ... I don't have to change that then, I guess... | 20:07 |
| icebreaker | i want root to be my default account | 20:08 |
| icebreaker | any possibilities?> | 20:08 |
| james20 | You can't do that | 20:08 |
| dajhorn | codeshah: You can add him to your personal group, or you can `chmod o+X` to each parent directory. | 20:08 |
| bazhang | icebreaker, no you dont | 20:08 |
| Clinteger | hey everyone | 20:08 |
| codeshah | ok | 20:08 |
| Clinteger | I installed kubuntu, then the xubuntu-desktop metapackage and finally ubuntu-desktop | 20:08 |
| alongenemylines | icebreaker, just give yourself root access without a password | 20:08 |
| KrisDouglas | icebreaker, by having your main account as root, any dodgy apps can do whatever they wanr to your system | 20:08 |
| icebreaker | why not....atleast i dont have to type sudo now and then... | 20:08 |

| oCean_ | !minimal | Grim147 | 20:15 |
| ubottu | Grim147: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 20:15 |
| Grim147 | awesome | 20:15 |
| james20 | What did you change between now and yesterday, bugattack | 20:15 |

| leandroal | since I update to some of last kernels I started to have many problems with my usb devices, that makes my computer works in a very strange manner and I noticed that many people have the same problem, where always linux kernel kprints the following message to the dmesg output: usb X-X: device not accepting address XX, error -XXX.

| Jordan_U | kaddi: Looking at the source, it means that the function pnp_assign_reseources (where I'm guessing pnp means plug and play) (drivers/pnp/manager.c). Since it's referencing parport, which stands for parallel port, you're probably fine if you don't actually need to use the parallel port (and I'm not sure that the error is fatal, so it may even work despite that error). | 20:57 |

| AutumnAi | blain, that's what I'm doing now as a workaround until I can figure out why it's doing that. | 21:28 |

| scriptwarlock | wick94: right clik and remove | 21:35 |
| yigal | KevinM: mbr | 21:35 |
| scriptwarlock | wick94: delete this panel | 21:35 |
| KevinM | yes | 21:35 |
| KevinM | it just has a list of partitions | 21:35 |
| wick94 | scriptwarlock i cant delete the top panel, i doesnt let me | 21:35 |
| KevinM | there is no erase everything option | 21:35 |
| Error404NotFound | is there a way i can mark a partition to be fdisk'ed on next boot? | 21:35 |
| scriptwarlock | wick94: just wondering why would you like to | 21:36 |
| yigal | KevinM: hmm, choose "largest free space" not sure of the wording | 21:36 |
| wick94 | scriptwarlock coz i m using the awn lucido theme and i dont need the panel anymore | 21:36 |
| TheFaioli | ok, I went to synaptic and marked 2.6.32-22-generic image for reinstallation.. let's hope this will do the trick. | 21:36 |
| scriptwarlock | wick94: ah the top and the buttom panel? | 21:36 |

| J4ckst3r | Hello, | 21:37 |
| douglasawh-work | ok, I may have figured this out. I think ubuntu has a way to watch multiple locations and Fedora does not. When you watch more than one the options show up...I think | 21:37 |
| wick94 | scriptwarlock i want to delete the top panel (the one tht has the menu etc etc) | 21:37 |
| J4ckst3r | Do you have any advice on installing windows after ubuntu? | 21:37 |
| lxsys | J4ckst3r : have an ubuntu livecd ready to reinstall grub | 21:38 |
| xangua | J4ckst3r: better to do the oposite always, prepare to reinstall grub | 21:38 |
| scriptwarlock | wick94: what options does it have when you right clik | 21:38 |
| J4ckst3r | I guessed that. | 21:38 |
| KevinM | yigal, I mean I still would like to keep my Windows mbr | 21:38 |
| yigal | J4ckst3r: if you have the live cd it will be fine | 21:38 |
| KevinM | so if I uninstall Wubi, it'll be ok | 21:38 |
| scriptwarlock | wick94: theres a "delete this panel" | 21:38 |
| yigal | KevinM: I'm not sure, if you don't want grub to take over that is. | 21:39 |
| douglasawh-work | my Fedora and Ubuntu plugins are the same. Does the Ubuntu Music Store plugin make that dual folder watching possible? | 21:39 |
| wick94 | scriptwarlock yes there is a "delete this panel" bt it's disabled | 21:39 |
| J4ckst3r | I might just use windows in a virtual machine | 21:39 |
| KevinM | yigal, Yes. I would like grub to only start when I select "Ubuntu" from the main loader. Like it does now. | 21:39 |

| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 22:12 |

| madmax_x | because 4channers use proxies all the time | 22:18 |
| s3r3n1t7 | duffydack, "exactly replicate" includes free space and everything. It's not what I want, it's the question you asked. If you have a better solution, go for it. | 22:18 |
| ikonia | Electra32: for just web proxying, it's pretty straight forward | 22:18 |

| ikonia | Dennis: that at least explains a bit, your USB bus is resetting constantly, which explains why your disks don't get auto mounted | 22:21 |
| s3r3n1t7 | duffydack, I would go for package selection myself. The question he literally asked was that he wanted to "exactly replicate" which in my world also includes free space. Why? I wouldn't know. | 22:21 |

| ikonia | Dennis: that's a tough one, it really depends "why" it's doing it (not stating the obvious) it could be poor support for that usb bus, a problem with the kernel module, a hardware failure, a lot of things really | 22:22 |
| factro | hello | 22:22 |

| factro | how do i change GDM in 10.4 | 22:22 |
| ikonia | Dennis: from that short description, I'd "guess" a kernel update in 9.04 has introduced an issue with the driver | 22:22 |

| M1AU | rezzy: yes | 22:55 |
| rezzy | agreed | 22:55 |
| neezer | mgolisch, it is pretty simple from what I read. the server system gave me options to download the key, the certification, and all that stuff. there was even a config file that I downloaded but it was a .ovpn file....i put them into /etc/openvpn after I did sudo apt-get install openvpn on the client. | 22:55 |
| rezzy | well, i could try the live cd plug it in and see if it works from there | 22:55 |
| rezzy | if it does install linux if not will be windows D: | 22:56 |
| nicofs | archlich: never mind, i'm thankful for any help to resolve some problems fom my great pile... | 22:56 |

| aguitel | anyone know why i cannnot copy to my pendrive some iso file with 4gb? | 23:00 |
| M1AU | rezzy: but chatting on the MSN network should work with that. Also, the default installed multi messenger Empathy also supports the MSN protocol.. | 23:00 |
| adam_ | my empathy randomly will say im logged in but not be logged in, and sometimes messages people send to me show up as me sending to them | 23:00 |
| mgolisch | aguitel: because its formated fat32? its max filesize is 4gb | 23:00 |
| rezzy | true, does empathy support webcam plus showing what music you listnen to ? | 23:00 |
| neezer | I just put in the gateway for the client which is 192.168.0.1 and then a username and password...the user and PW are correct and the user does have VPN priveliges on the server. | 23:01 |
| M1AU | rezzy: well, that's beyond my knowledge :) | 23:01 |
| aguitel | mgolisch, what format i need? | 23:01 |
| adam_ | your msn client shouldnt be your music player it supports gchat video chat tho | 23:01 |

| acovrig | how do i add users to vsftpd? | 23:08 |
| slidinghorn | Alaric`, wired or wireless? | 23:08 |
| cellofellow | acovrig: vsftpd afaik just uses the local UNIX users. So, just adduser. | 23:08 |
| cellofellow | Alaric`: might start with ifconfig -a | 23:09 |
| acovrig | cellofellow, but I can't upload anything-Permission Denied, why? | 23:09 |
| Icees | How would I go about getting Ubuntu netbook onto an older laptop (2003-ish) that does not allow booting from a USB? | 23:09 |
| cellofellow | acovrig: vsftpd is designed specifically for security and its default config is to not allow any uploads. Check the /etc/vsftpd.conf | 23:09 |
| Spondodge | anyone know which compiz effect creates a rushing star like effect with your wallpaper? | 23:09 |
| slidinghorn | Icees, you can try using an external CD/DVD drive -- if it doesn't have a cd rom drive chances are it has an interface card | 23:10 |
| soreau | Spondodge: what do you mean by rushing star for your wallpaper? | 23:10 |
| jjast73 | Icees: try a live cd | 23:10 |
| Icees | Alright, thanks! | 23:10 |
| Alaric` | cellofellow, already done that ... ifconfig shows both interfaces up, with the right MAC addresses I have configured in my dhcpd | 23:10 |
| cellofellow | Alaric`: but no IP addresses? | 23:11 |
| acovrig | cellofellow, how do i allow uploads? | 23:12 |
| acovrig | can i allow for just 1 user? | 23:12 |
| cellofellow | acovrig: let me check my vsftpd.conf | 23:12 |
| Alaric` | cellofellow, nope .... as far as I can tell, both interfaces are working perfectly (the wireless even sees my wireless network's SSID *and* my neighbor's), it's just refusing to connect to either wired or wireless | 23:12 |

| J11 | Is there some kind of key you can hold to temporary disable AutoLogin? | 23:13 |
| Alaric` | cellofellow, yes, it's anew install, I have no choice. if I could get a net connection to do it with, I'd rip it out and install wpa_supplicant. | 23:13 |
| acovrig | does #ubuntu use pastebin.com, or something special? | 23:13 |
| slidinghorn | paste.ubuntu.com acovrig | 23:14 |
| acovrig | thanks | 23:14 |
| slidinghorn | J11, How did you set the autologin up? | 23:14 |
| cellofellow | Alaric`: well, I think you can easily disable nm and use the cli without getting online, but that shouldn't matter. Try tailf /var/log/syslog | grep NetworkManager, and watch that while you use the nm-applet to try to connect. | 23:14 |

| Andorin | jjast73: I just said that that doesn't work... | 23:35 |
| jdsbluedevl | hi, I'm trying to test out Internet sharing from my Ubuntu computer to a MacBook, but the MacBook isn't recognizing the Internet share. Can someone help me? | 23:35 |
| Godfather8850 | isti37_, thank you very much my friend :) you are a great help :) | 23:35 |
| eoke | exit | 23:35 |
| MetalGeek_N00b | Basically, I feel like im learning a new language, so, every time i sit down at my new linux box i try to learn a new command or something and soon my vocabulary list will be massive | 23:35 |
| DeezeNuts | Hello! Im going to be a new ubuntu user. Is there anything I can read to get me started? | 23:35 |
| Andorin | I also took a look at /usr/share/rhythmbox to see if I could edit any config files and just drop the directory in question from being watched, but I saw nothing. | 23:36 |
| Godfather8850 | isti37_, one last question. Is the virtual XP going to recognize my CD drivers? | 23:36 |
| kevin__ | DeezeNuts : http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Lucid | 23:36 |
| isti37_ | anyone knows a good kde4 app like midnight commander, I get bored by ncurses | 23:36 |
| Spaztic_One | Can anyone tell me how to undo a hard block on my wLAN when my wireless switch/button doesn't work under Ubuntu? This has been a problem before, but it "magically" unlocked and started working until the battery came out of my laptop earlier today. | 23:36 |

| DeezeNuts | Thank you! | 23:36 |
| MetalGeek_N00b | So im looking for a suggestion from the community about what i should learn tonight? | 23:36 |
| yoterkillas | i have a ? | 23:36 |
| ikonia | MetalGeek_N00b: just "use" your computer, you'll learn as you go a long | 23:36 |
| slidinghorn | MetalGeek_N00b, I'd suggest using the cp & mv commands -- very helpful for backing up configuration files before editing and renaming, etc | 23:37 |
| MetalGeek_N00b | Will that do | 23:37 |
| isti37_ | Godfather8850 , you have to install on your guest operating sistem an application, no drivers needed | 23:37 |
| jjast73 | MetalGeek: to learn linux, best way is to use google =) and use linux at the same time =) | 23:37 |
| Godfather8850 | isti37_, do you know the name of this application? | 23:37 |
| kevin__ | MetalGeek_N00b : PL/SQL It's a nice scripting lang and used by the whole oracle stack :) | 23:37 |
| isti37_ | Godfather8850 , but, if you have the possibility and you don't need open source software only I recommend you VMware, virtualbox is buggy | 23:37 |
| Andorin | Sigh, never mind. Restarting Rhythmbox did it, I think. | 23:38 |
| jjast73 | MetalGeek: you could also check out http://www.linuxhelp.net/newbies/ | 23:38 |
| oliver1804 | DeezeNuts, simply use the help center on your local hard drive (question mark icon) | 23:38 |

| ubottu | Spaztic_One: 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. | 23:39 |

| slidinghorn | !anyone | bjegovic | 23:39 |
| ubottu | bjegovic: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 23:39 |
| isti37_ | Godfather8850 , Virtualbox will ask you to install it after you installed the guest operating system | 23:40 |
| MetalGeek_N00b | PL/SQL is that going to be more useful than learning C++ | 23:40 |
| isti37_ | !virtualbox | 23:40 |
| ubottu | virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 23:40 |
| Spaztic_One | slidinghorn: I waited a couple of minutes and decided to clarify what I said. | 23:40 |
| kevin__ | MetalGeek_N00b : Depends on your goal :) | 23:40 |
| MetalGeek_N00b | <slidinghorn> sorry please explain | 23:40 |
| isti37_ | MetalGeek_N00b Nothing is more useful than C++ | 23:40 |
| Godfather8850 | isti37_, thank you for the info :) | 23:40 |
| MetalGeek_N00b | Kevin__ Please elaborate | 23:41 |
| kevin__ | isti37_ C++ is useless to a DBA or network admin :) | 23:41 |
| weezelding | ah, sudo apt-get install --reinstall gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio fixed mp3 playback problem | 23:41 |
| kevin__ | Depends on why your learning it :) | 23:41 |
| MetalGeek_N00b | <isti37_> why? | 23:41 |

| Kevin` | since it's the same base program | 23:44 |
| n0a1ias | o, what about u Keven'? | 23:44 |
| Kevin` | n0a1ias: what was the question again? | 23:44 |

| tiimo | :P | 23:48 |
| _jesse_ | tiimo: you need to install java, try the openjdk-6-jre package it suggest | 23:49 |
| Kevin` | c++ is useful if you want to write software that does things, or anything system level (although that's c usually, no ++) | 23:49 |

| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 23:49 |
| kevin__ | Kevin` Though c++ for a start is steep! | 23:49 |
| tiimo | it must be 64 bit | 23:49 |
| MetalGeek_N00b | kevin__, Why do you say that | 23:49 |
| Pici | Folks, can we move the programming language discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic, as its not really support related? Thanks! | 23:50 |

| mengu | hi. gentoo's terminal (dunno if it's from gentoo or kde) has a feature. lets say i have typed in my terminal "paster serve --reload development.ini" some time ago. and now if i type "paster" and press "page up" it auto adds the rest. does gnome-terminal have something like that? | 23:57 |
| Kevin` | rukubites: have you tried the current stable and development kernels from kernel.org? | 23:57 |
| tiimo | _jesse_: I installed jdk-6u21-linux-x64 why isnt it working ? | 23:57 |
| alexander__ | itunes won't work on virtual box either *face-keyboard* could it be because of the low res? I give up, forget windozzzzzz | 23:57 |
| Kevin` | rukubites: if so, I would post it to lkml | 23:57 |
| rukubites | Kevin`: I am currently trying the 2.6.34-020634rc7-generic kernel. Still fails. Was about to try the 34-rc2 kernel from mainline. Is there any kernel you recommend? | 23:58 |
| _jesse_ | tiimo: I said to try to install jre-default | 23:58 |
| _jesse_ | tiimo: or rather default-jre | 23:58 |
| rukubites | Kevin`: Trying the -rc2 because someone said it "fixed the disk". | 23:58 |
| Gryllida | What do I do to access files a Windows user shares with me on the LAN? | 23:58 |
| Kevin` | rukubites: you should of course try 2.6.34.1 for completeness. the main purpose is to know whether or not the current kernel has the problem so you can report it directly to those developers and get help on it | 23:59 |
