| hynopio | I can't get rythmbox to be my default media player? I've already selected it as default application for media reproduction, but another program (audacity in my case) keeps playing songs files when I open them. How do I fix this??? | 00:00 |

| hynopio | oneirosFade, Not working either :( | 00:02 |
| Silent_Dream | violinappren: all i see is a command prompt, no output | 00:02 |
| Silent_Dream | Jordan_U: What do you mean? | 00:02 |
| violinappren | Silent_Dream: try other F keys, i'm not sure which one has the log | 00:02 |
| oneirosFade | hynopio: Sorry, "Open with other application..." then make sure the check box is checked. | 00:02 |
| Jordan_U | Silent_Dream: Before the screen that you pastebined, was there another menu asking about where to install grub? | 00:03 |
| oneirosFade | Mr_Sonoma: What happens if you try to ping archive.canonical.com ? | 00:03 |
| ^peanut^ | beppo: no luck on this end; | 00:03 |

| oneirosFade | hynopio: Oh, ok. Just making sure it wasn't the way I said it :) | 00:05 |
| Silent_Dream | Jordan_U: I believe there was, there were some really complicated questions about if i wanted to upgrade grub, keep grub, try both upgrading and keeping it in 3 separate places or something, and I didnt know what to do, so i just skipped it, and now I am stuck on this menu | 00:05 |
| Silent_Dream | Jordan_U: I am dualbooting with windows 7 as well so I didnt want to mess anything up, didnt know how to answer the grub questions | 00:06 |
| hynopio | oneidosFade, so is there anything else I can do? | 00:06 |

| dextro_ | the installer is crashing right after i hit next on the keyboard layout page | 00:07 |
| Dr_Willis | ridin: yes you can.. be sur to tell grub to put the bootloader on the externals MBR. and it will be a little slower then internal | 00:07 |
| Jordan_U | Silent_Dream: Can you pastebin the output of "ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/"? | 00:07 |
| dextro_ | i assume the installer doesnt like my windows partition and is crashing | 00:07 |
| violinappren | Silent_Dream: are you installing inside a virtual machine? | 00:07 |
| oneirosFade | Mr_Sonoma: Also, it looks like it's ignoring all the update files, for some reason | 00:07 |
| Silent_Dream | violinappren: no | 00:07 |
| dextro_ | is this normal? how am i suposed to dual boot? | 00:08 |
| hynopio | sweetpi, that's just what I did, but didn't work for me :( | 00:08 |
| ridin | dr_willis, how do i do that | 00:08 |
| Dr_Willis | ridin: what part? | 00:08 |
| smerz | how do i make install again into .deb package? | 00:08 |

| Dr_Willis | ridin: you tell the inttaller , like the last dialog it has an button you click. | 00:09 |
| Dr_Willis | ridin: unless you want to put grub on the internal hard drive. | 00:09 |
| ridin | dr_willis, this harddrive is failing | 00:10 |
| Dr_Willis | ridin: or just unplug all internal hd's so it can only put it on the usb hd. | 00:10 |
| Mr_Sonoma | oneirosFade, right, thats what i'm trying to figure out. is everyone else having these issues or is it just me? | 00:10 |
| ridin | dr_willis, sorry confused ^^ | 00:10 |
| oneirosFade | Mr_Sonoma: Not when I updated a few hours ago, but let me check | 00:10 |
| Dr_Willis | ridin: you tell the installer where to put GRUB at - as the last thing the installer does. OR unplug the internal hard drive | 00:10 |
| ridin | ok dr_willis | 00:11 |
| smerz | Can someone remind me what the command was to do a make install and create a .deb package out of it? | 00:11 |
| oneirosFade | Mr_Sonoma: Yeah, most of mine say Ign too, but it doesn't error at me | 00:11 |
| well_laid_lawn | smerz: checkinstall | 00:11 |
| ridin | dr_willis, you mean i have to go inside my tower and actually unplug the cords? | 00:11 |
| smerz | thank you well_laid_lawn | 00:12 |
| Dr_Willis | ridin: you can.. takes me all of like.. 60 sec to do that. | 00:12 |
| well_laid_lawn | np | 00:12 |
| Dr_Willis | ridin: OR you tell the installer where to put it at. | 00:12 |
| oneirosFade | ridin: You could disable the internal drive via the BIOS, as well | 00:12 |
| ridin | okok, i know what to do with bios, thanks dr_willis and oneirosfade | 00:12 |
| Dr_Willis | ridin: if your internal drive is failing.. why not take apart the usb drive.. and stick it intenal? | 00:12 |
| ridin | dr_willis, internals keeps on failing | 00:13 |
| Jordan_U | Silent_Dream: Just to make sure I have everything correct. When you get to the screen "You chose not to install GRUB to any devices..." there is a "yes" option and a "no" option, and which ever you select you just come back to the same screen? | 00:13 |
| Dr_Willis | ridin: if thasts true.. then you may want to check your cooling.. | 00:13 |
| Silent_Dream | Jordan_U: I have only tried the "no" option, and it takes me back to that same screen | 00:14 |
| oneirosFade | ridin: Yeah, if the internals consistantly fail, check cooling and check those drives on another system to see if they actually failed - may be a controller issue | 00:14 |

| beppo | a bit tired^^ | 00:30 |
| ^peanut^ | =) | 00:30 |
| Dr_Willis | beppo: you definatly want to use a bs= option - or else dd can be very slow | 00:30 |
| Silent_Dream | Jordan_U: I should clarify; I was using apt-get update, that seems to have finished. I havent done apt-get upgrade yet | 00:30 |
| ^peanut^ | Dr_Willis: dd without it should now being defaulting to bs=1k (atleast on my centos servers it does) | 00:31 |
| beppo | how to do that excatly? | 00:31 |
| beppo | dd runs, system is lagging hard | 00:31 |
| Dr_Willis | ^peanut^: ive not tried it lately. but i do know when i was dding some isos in the last release. it was a 4x speed boost. :) it may be differnt now. | 00:32 |
| ^peanut^ | beppo: so... "time dd if=/path/to/large/file of=/mount/point/to/raid bs=1k | 00:32 |
| Silent_Dream | Jordan_U: By the way, I'm doing this from a livecd, since my Ubuntu froze upon upgrading. So I have mounted my /dev/sda6 and chroot to it, and ran apt-get from there. so i am doing this all on a livecd, idk if that makes a difference | 00:32 |

| ^peanut^ | beppo: how bout this. run top in 1 shell, then run the dd command. and just watch and see what is taking up all the cpu cycles. a dd really shouldn't lag your box that hard | 00:39 |
| foureight84 | thanks LjL | 00:39 |
| beppo | cpu is quite low | 00:41 |
| beppo | it's because of accessing the hard drives | 00:41 |
| ^peanut^ | beppo: I also wonder what the settings for the raid are on the controller. like cache wait time, cache enabled at all or disabled... | 00:41 |
| ^peanut^ | beppo. is the main os installed on the raid too? | 00:41 |
| ^peanut^ | beppo: so it's all one large file-system | 00:42 |
| beppo | in the controller bios i have 64k, and read and write caching enabled | 00:42 |
| beppo | yes, one large filesystem | 00:42 |
| ^peanut^ | beppo: ah ok | 00:42 |
| beppo | but in dmesg is written that caching is disabled | 00:42 |
| ^peanut^ | beppo: try hdparam? try to see if you can change the drives cache state | 00:43 |
| beppo | if i ONLY copy OR read from the array everything is fine | 00:43 |
| beppo | but doing both results in system "lags" | 00:43 |
| ^peanut^ | beppo: yea, in my experience OS and Data should not reside on the same raid. for many reasons. As for the speed issue, I have nothing here to test with because I don't have a similar setup with os and raid and data all on 1 raid | 00:45 |
| beppo | i set it up as an lvm | 00:45 |
| Silent_Dream | Jordan_U: Are you there? | 00:45 |
| beppo | just because i was lazy i only choosed one partition | 00:46 |
| ^peanut^ | beppo: yea that won't matter much. the 3 disks are raided, then you created an lvm partition. yet the os is still on the raid. again, not sure if that really matters or not. I've just never set things up that way =) | 00:46 |
| beppo | i first installed 9.04 and i know excatly everything ran fine | 00:46 |
| Jordan_U | Silent_Dream: Yes | 00:47 |
| beppo | but at any point, i don't know, i realized the problem | 00:47 |
| ^peanut^ | beppo: hmm,well the be difference I would see is the kernel. | 00:47 |
| ^peanut^ | big* | 00:47 |
| Silent_Dream | Jordan_U: Ok cool. I'm ready to have your assistance walking through the manual grub procedure | 00:47 |

| iceroot | on a dual-core-system, why is a tar-operation on a 50gb file killing the system (50%wa) if the tar is only running on one core? any operation which is not using the hdd on the seconds core is very very slow. | 00:49 |

I did not have this problem prior to upgrading to 10.04. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what did you do? | 00:49 |
| Jordan_U | Silent_Dream: Yes, since you are continuing a failed upgrade (IIRC) you should use "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 00:50 |

| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 00:56 |
| magic_ninja | WOW | 00:56 |
| froschi | wildbat_laptop: takes some very time to get used to it, but should do the job | 00:56 |
| magic_ninja | gonna ask again real fast because of the netsplit | 00:57 |
| magic_ninja | what are the development packages for sqlite3 | 00:58 |
| trism | magic_ninja: libsqlite3-dev | 00:58 |
| lor | libsqlite3-dev - SQLite 3 development files | 00:58 |
| magic_ninja | tyvm | 00:58 |
| magic_ninja | so on ubuntu the compilers have a set directory to look for development files don't they? such as /usr/src | 01:00 |
| Scunizi | magic_ninja: easy to find... apt-cache search libsqlite3* or sqlite3* | 01:00 |

| anki | hey guys | 01:03 |
| kop | really ? | 01:03 |
| Scunizi | magic_ninja: it's there.. unfortunately when you first start looking at the list it appears to be alphabetical... and is.. but only in blocks for some reason.. you have to scroll way up to find it. | 01:03 |
| Dr_Willis | i never see any of it. :) | 01:03 |
| Scunizi | me either | 01:03 |
| kop | me ? I'm a veg | 01:03 |

| bouma | does anyone know how to automatically clean /media to prevent the issue of appending _'s stuffing up dir's | 01:04 |
| bouma | its breaking my carefully setup association with a utorrent via a script that changes a linux path into a wine path so that utorrent will work on right click | 01:04 |
| bouma | could anyone guide me in making a script to clean /media of any _'s or even the original dirs seem to be the problem. actually i dont understand the origin of the problem | 01:05 |

| Perv_69 | Hello, is there any sex channel in Xchat? | 01:07 |
| lor | Perv_69, no | 01:07 |
| Perv_69 | damn.... | 01:08 |
| Scunizi | Perv_69: 86 that | 01:08 |
| Perv_69 | Anyway... | 01:09 |
| Perv_69 | when is Ubuntu 11 coming? | 01:10 |
| rsk | there will be no ubuntu 11 | 01:10 |
| Perv_69 | 10.05? | 01:10 |
| Perv_69 | Whaterver resewt | 01:10 |
| Perv_69 | resets my system | 01:10 |
| sebsebseb | Perv_69: 10.10 | 01:10 |
| * Scunizi ... sniff, sniff... someone living under a bridge? | 01:10 | |
| Perv_69 | hat will be nice | 01:10 |
| Dr_Willis | bouma: if a disk is automounted. but not unmounted properly the old 'name' stays behind. and the new one with _ is used. | 01:11 |
| Dr_Willis | bouma: ie: it mounts disk 'movies' you crash.. it revoots.. mounts it again to movies_ | 01:11 |
| Dr_Willis | bouma: unmount everything. remove all the names with _ is what i do every so often. | 01:11 |
| sebsebseb | Scunizi: yep trolls can live under bridges :D | 01:12 |
| Dr_Willis | bouma: i also am sure to give every filesystem a proper 'label' for mount to use for the mountpoint. | 01:12 |
| Perv_69 | for some reason Firefox has been acting...strange, i hade to rv ~/.mozilla/firefox lots of times | 01:12 |
| Perv_69 | then i said, F+++ it, and then installed chromium | 01:12 |
| sebsebseb | !language | Perv_69 | 01:12 |
| ubottu | Perv_69: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 01:12 |
| Perv_69 | and for opening aMSn, i use Opera | 01:12 |
| sebsebseb | Firefox :) | 01:12 |
| Perv_69 | oh...sorry | 01:12 |
| ghindo | Do the ShipIt discs come with a 64-bit installer? | 01:13 |
| sebsebseb | for opening aMSN you use Opera, I doubt that some how | 01:13 |
| Perv_69 | So...Whats the topic? | 01:13 |
| Dr_Willis | ghindo: i do not think so. | 01:13 |
| sebsebseb | Ubuntu Support | 01:13 |
| Perv_69 | Why not? | 01:13 |
| Perv_69 | I did it | 01:13 |
| Perv_69 | Just change preferences | 01:13 |
| Perv_69 | Is there a problem in opera? | 01:13 |
| ghindo | Dr_Willis, well crap. Do you know of anyway to check for sure? | 01:14 |
| sebsebseb | you don't need Opera to pen other programs | 01:14 |
| Dr_Willis | ghindo: they ship the 32bit cd.. if you want 64bit.. you need 64bit cd's | 01:14 |
| Perv_69 | Well, firefox just does not work anymore | 01:14 |
| sebsebseb | also the MSN chat network really sucks :D | 01:14 |
| Perv_69 | try to open it, and it just does not opens | 01:14 |
| Perv_69 | well, i have to send e-mails | 01:14 |
| Perv_69 | What else do you recomend? | 01:15 |
| sebsebseb | first of all if you want some actsual support here, good idea to change the name to something else | 01:15 |
| Perv_69 | Are you talkin to me?! | 01:15 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 01:15 |
| sebsebseb | yes | 01:15 |
| Dr_Willis | !ohmy | 01:15 |
| ubottu | Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. | 01:15 |
| Scunizi | then ask a question that actually makes sense.. you don't do email with FF | 01:15 |
| ghindo | Dr_Willis, D'oh, well thanks anyway :) | 01:16 |
| Perv_69 | well, I was looking for a sex channel, but then decided to ask some Ubuntu stuff | 01:16 |
| Perv_69 | wait, I'll change my nick | 01:16 |
| sebsebseb | if your just trolling on the other hand, it isn't really working. 1. your not really annoying any of us. 2. its not even funny | 01:16 |
| * Scunizi is still waiting for ubuntu "stuff" | 01:16 | |
| Perv_69 | you guys are funny, | 01:17 |
| Beyecixramd | when i type a command in terminal, where do that apps come from? /usr/bin? | 01:17 |
| Scunizi | sometimes | 01:17 |
| Mr_Sonoma | is the sad part over now? | 01:17 |
| sebsebseb | Scunizi: ok seems we lost him, well what a boring troll that was :D | 01:17 |
| Beyecixramd | so can i save an executable in /usr/bin to allow tab-completition? | 01:17 |
| noob_69 | I am baaaaaack!!! | 01:18 |
| noob_69 | I was previously know as Perv_69 | 01:18 |
| noob_69 | Anywho... | 01:18 |
| noob_69 | About Ubuntu | 01:18 |
| edbian | Beyecixramd, A couple of places. /usr/bin are programs added by the package manager. /bin are programs core to the system. /sbin are programs core to the system that you need to be root to run. /usr/local/bin are programs you added manually | 01:18 |
| Mr_Sonoma | guess not..... | 01:18 |
| Beyecixramd | edbian: so can i ln -s a program in my $HOME to run them from terminal | 01:19 |
| edbian | Beyecixramd, The proper place to save an executable (installation manually) is in /usr/local/bin | 01:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Beyecixramd: user owned binaries can to in /home/username/bin if you want a place to keep them | 01:19 |
| bastid_raZor | Beyecixramd: you can find out by typing: which command | 01:19 |
| Beyecixramd | edbian: yeah, in /usr/local/bin, can i do that? | 01:19 |
| edbian | Beyecixramd, just make the symlink in /usr/local/bin yes | 01:19 |
| Beyecixramd | edbian: ln -s creates a soft link, yes? | 01:19 |
| edbian | Beyecixramd, We should really wait for the other to talk first! ha ha. Yeah to both questions | 01:19 |
| Beyecixramd | Dr_Willis: i want everyone be able to access them | 01:20 |
| j800r | my dvd drive has stopped auto-mounting it's done it a couple of times in the past, and if i ejected then reinserted the disc then it would usually mount, but it ain't happening this time :| | 01:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Beyecixramd: use /usr/local/bin then. of course it depends on what the bins are :) | 01:20 |
| Beyecixramd | edbian: hahaha okay okay, sorry and thanks ^^ | 01:20 |
| Beyecixramd | Dr_Willis: what does it depend on? | 01:20 |
| bastid_raZor | Beyecixramd: everyone has access to /usr/bin /usr/local/bin /sbin etc.. | 01:20 |
| noob_69 | I have installed LOTS of programs i do not even use 'cuz in the end, i did not had all the libraries or i do not know how to execute them, so, is there a way to find out whatś usless in my system? | 01:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Beyecixramd: are you compilimng this stuff yourself? or what exactly? | 01:21 |
| noob_69 | I do not even know where are those programs! | 01:21 |
| Beyecixramd | Dr_Willis: no, i'm trying to install system wide SRWare Iron, they only provide the binaries, not a package | 01:21 |
| sebsebseb | noob_69: uhmm | 01:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Beyecixramd: You could put them anywhere and just link them to /usr/local/bin then. | 01:22 |
| sebsebseb | noob_69: for me there is a lot of useless stuff by default in 10.04 | 01:22 |
| noob_69 | Like, a program for, or was a script (python) or something, a plugin for Blender, i installed that stuff, it was like 250MB, and... I do not even know where that is and how to run it!! | 01:23 |
| ibuclaw | noob_69, beyond "look in the Applications menu for apps that you don't use and remove them from software centre", you don't seem informed enough to make any wise decisions for yourself on what should be / shouldn't be there. | 01:23 |
| Beyecixramd | Dr_Willis: oh well, i was about to do that, but i just reminded that SRWare Iron is in my $HOME folder... can i copy a whole folder and it's appropiate libraries in /usr/local/bin? | 01:23 |
| sebsebseb | ibuclaw: or he is still trolling, one or the other :D | 01:23 |
| ibuclaw | noob_69, Blender should be in Applications->Graphics | 01:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Beyecixramd: Libries dont go in bin, theres are lib dirs. | 01:23 |
| sebsebseb | noob_69: you could search synaptic for blender, and remove blender stuff | 01:23 |
| Beyecixramd | Dr_Willis: where? | 01:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Beyecixramd: thers /usr/local/* | 01:24 |
| noob_69 | Yeah, I know, but the programs I install in the terminal, i do not know where are they stored | 01:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Beyecixramd: notice how /usr/local/ sort of mirrors the main /usr/ layout? :) thats the idea. | 01:24 |
| sebsebseb | noob_69: doesn't matter | 01:24 |
| ibuclaw | noob_69, echp $PATH | 01:24 |
| sebsebseb | noob_69: you can find them in Synaptic | 01:24 |
| sebsebseb | noob_69: well they came from the Ubuntu repos yeah? | 01:24 |
| Beyecixramd | Dr_Willis: oh- okay, okay | 01:24 |
| noob_69 | i'll try that | 01:24 |
| ibuclaw | they are installed there, and you can find them in synaptic ;) | 01:24 |
| Beyecixramd | Dr_Willis: i will then copy the SRWare folder to /usr/local/lib and then link it to /usr/local/bin, right? | 01:25 |
| noob_69 | But I hope is not like when i deleted the sound icon from the desktop, and someone sugested to delete the Gnome Panel... and when i rebooted | 01:25 |
| noob_69 | well, you can imagine | 01:25 |
| sebsebseb | noob_69: from the desktop? you mean the top panel? | 01:25 |
| noob_69 | yeah, that | 01:25 |
| trainer | I just got a new nvidia video card but there are a ton of nvidia related packages in synaptic, how do I get the right drivers for it? | 01:26 |
| noob_69 | like echp $ PATH, whats that for? | 01:26 |
| sebsebseb | noob_69: actsaully thats one of the first things I would do with 10.04, is remove a load of the junk on the top right panel :D since then things become like before :) with features I want | 01:26 |
| Dr_Willis | Beyecixramd: the files in its /lib/ should be linked to /usr/local/lib and the bin to /usr/local/bin (or copied) | 01:26 |
| Beyecixramd | Dr_Willis: yeah, okay, thanks ^^ | 01:26 |
| sebsebseb | noob_69: also its easy to re set panels back to default | 01:27 |
| sebsebseb | !panels | noob_69 | 01:27 |
| ubottu | noob_69: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 01:27 |
| noob_69 | Yeah, i did that, but since that day, i have to live with that e-mail icon that i do not even use | 01:27 |
| Dr_Willis | Beyecixramd: if you were compiling and installing. you would tell it to install to /usr/local/ and thus all the things for lib go to lib. and bin to bin and so forth uinder /usr/local | 01:27 |
| Dr_Willis | Beyecixramd: unless the binary is set to locate them in some other places.. | 01:27 |
| sebsebseb | noob_69: the envelope you mean? | 01:27 |
| kvarley | What is rsyslogd ? | 01:27 |
| Beyecixramd | Dr_Willis: how do i rename a folder? | 01:27 |
| noob_69 | Oh no, I do not want to reset nothing, i learned my lesson | 01:27 |
| Dr_Willis | Beyecixramd: with the mv command | 01:27 |
| Beyecixramd | Dr_Willis: okay, thanks | 01:28 |
| noob_69 | I just want to delete some stuff i installed from the terminal | 01:28 |
| Beyecixramd | Dr_Willis: ill sort this out now then ^^ | 01:28 |
| sebsebseb | !who | noob_69 | 01:28 |
| ubottu | noob_69: 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 :) | 01:28 |
| sebsebseb | noob_69: sudo apt-get purge programname | 01:28 |
| sebsebseb | noob_69: that will get rid of some config file stuff as well | 01:28 |
| sebsebseb | noob_69: or use Synaptic to remove stuff, as was earlier suggested | 01:28 |
| pseud0cod3r | whats the best way to launch shell scripts at startup on user level? | 01:29 |
| noob_69 | hey | 01:29 |
| noob_69 | How do i PM? | 01:29 |
| Noble | Can anyone please pastebin their ~/.wicd/colors.py to me? | 01:29 |
| noob_69 | like you? sebsebseb: hello | 01:29 |
| trainer | I'm trying to install nvidia drivers from the hardware drivers screen, but the progress bar gets about halfway then it gives me this error: SystemError: installArchives() failed | 01:29 |
| Dr_Willis | to remove that 'mail' icon but keep the speaker icon i THINK one does this --> sudo apt-get remove indicator-messages indicator-me | 01:29 |
| sebsebseb | noob_69: and now you want to pm me it seems, hrm | 01:30 |
| Dr_Willis | pseud0cod3r: what do you mean 'on user level' ? | 01:30 |
| bastid_raZor | sebsebseb: he is looking for xchat sex.. hmm | 01:30 |
| noob_69 | no, not pm, like you, a msg in red | 01:30 |
| * Dr_Willis wonders what noob_69 means | 01:30 | |
| sebsebseb | noob_69: thats what the bot was on about | 01:30 |
| s4a | why doesn't dd if=/home/deniz/Desktop/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=4M;sync make my flash drive bootable? on this comp when i do that, when I plug in the flash drive; it acts somewhat like a CD but on my (usb-boot capable) comp (this one is also usb-boot capable) this exact command (with a different iso filename of course) works for opensuse) | 01:30 |
| noob_69 | HEY! | 01:30 |
| sebsebseb | !tab | noob_69 | 01:30 |
| ubottu | noob_69: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 01:30 |
| pseud0cod3r | i mean run level 5 or something | 01:30 |
| bastid_raZor | noob_69: have his name as part of your sentence.. like i am including yours now. | 01:30 |
| noob_69 | he said something about tab | 01:31 |
| sebsebseb | noob_69: put the name of the person your chatting to in the message, and their IRC client will probably high light | 01:31 |
| sebsebseb | noob_69: she | 01:31 |
| Dr_Willis | s4a: because its an iso file.. You need to use unetbootin, or the usb-disk-creator tool to make a bootable flash frion an iso | 01:31 |
| sebsebseb | !gender | noob_69 | 01:31 |
| ubottu | noob_69: yes, I can confirm I am a female bot :) | 01:31 |
| pseud0cod3r | it should run only after the user logs in | 01:31 |
| noob_69 | sebsebseb: hello | 01:31 |
| noob_69 | nope | 01:31 |
| Dr_Willis | s4a: there ARE some disrtos/isos out there tyat you can dd to a usb and have them work.. but not many do it that way | 01:31 |
| s4a | Dr_Willis, but it worked with opensuse live cd iso image | 01:31 |
| pseud0cod3r | Dr_Willis, ? | 01:31 |
| sebsebseb | noob_69: yes | 01:31 |
| noob_69 | did not worked | 01:31 |
| sebsebseb | noob_69: you just high lighted me | 01:31 |
| petrus | I have a couldn't find package error when installing libdvdcss3 please help | 01:31 |
| Dr_Willis | s4a: as i said.. SOME can work.. | 01:31 |
| noob_69 | I want ot RED message too | 01:31 |
| s4a | Dr_Willis, so it's the way the OS was designed rather than dd ? | 01:32 |
| * Dr_Willis thinks noob_69 should realize that its noob_69 's irc client thats doing the 'red' not us. | 01:32 | |
| Dr_Willis | s4a: you got it. | 01:32 |
| MaRk-I | s4a: opensuse is a hybrid .iso for ubuntu you need unetbootin | 01:32 |
| Dr_Willis | s4a: the dd is a neat trick. but it can waste some space on larger flash drives. :) | 01:32 |
| s4a | Dr_Willis, MaRk-I, can i do that through debian? | 01:32 |
| pseud0cod3r | any suggestion? | 01:32 |
| Dr_Willis | s4a: i just use grub2 to boot the iso files. | 01:32 |
| petrus | I have a couldn't find package error when installing libdvdcss3 please help | 01:33 |
| noob_69 | sebsebseb why Ubuntu and not sabayon? | 01:33 |
| Dr_Willis | i dont even need to dd to the flash drive.. copy the iso file. edit the grub2 cfg.. and boot it up | 01:33 |
| sebsebseb | bastid_raZor: yeah probably not really a good idea to go into pm, with whoever that person is, heh heh | 01:33 |
| s4a | Dr_Willis, i have a messed up lvm system im trying to rescue | 01:33 |
| sebsebseb | bastid_raZor: unless maybe its to talk about other distros a bit :D | 01:33 |
| sebsebseb | noob_69: ok your just trolling I guess? not many new users to Desktop Linux even know about Sabayon | 01:33 |
| Dr_Willis | s4a: theres other tools to make a usb from ubuntu iso files.. see the pendrivelinux web site for some. theres unetbootin, and lili, and some others also | 01:33 |
| adamror | I for one use unetbootin it works great!! | 01:34 |
| belkinsa | PendriveLinux would my choice. | 01:34 |
| noob_69 | Is there like a NOT a topic channel here? | 01:34 |
| noob_69 | They are calling me a TROLL | 01:34 |

| s4a | Dr_Willis, o wait unetbootin looks like it might be good | 01:36 |
| belkinsa | Ban him, someone! | 01:36 |
| sebsebseb | noob_69: sometimes trolls can be fun, you bored me :(, by the way I don't fully like Ubuntu myself these days, hence using another distro :D | 01:36 |
| adamror | belkinsa no ops in here | 01:36 |
| sebsebseb | belkinsa: it wasn't really worth an ! o p s trigger | 01:36 |
| bastid_raZor | sebsebseb: you've turned your back on the distro that weined you!?! | 01:36 |
| s4a | Dr_Willis, ok so is unetbootin for linux a graphical program? | 01:37 |
| sebsebseb | bastid_raZor: no I started with Fedora Core 2 and 4 | 01:37 |
| belkinsa | Cann't you use the one that comes with Ubuntu? | 01:37 |
| Dr_Willis | pseud0cod3r: ???___??? | 01:37 |
| sebsebseb | bastid_raZor: on an old computer, where it also took a long time to install. | 01:37 |
| Dr_Willis | s4a: has windows and linux ports. | 01:37 |
| sebsebseb | bastid_raZor: and Ubuntu much faster to install on that computer, so yeah I ended up using Ubuntu rather happily for years, and this is going off topic now | 01:38 |
| pseud0cod3r | how can i launch custom scripts automaticlly on user login? | 01:38 |
| Dr_Willis | s4a: usb-disk-creator is the tool in the ubuntu os normally used. Pendrivelinux.com has other tools for windows and other os's also | 01:38 |
| Beyecixramd | pseud0cod3r: are you on GNOME? | 01:38 |
| pseud0cod3r | yes | 01:38 |
| Dr_Willis | pseud0cod3r: startup-manager lets you define new 'auto run on login items' | 01:38 |
| Beyecixramd | pseud0cod3r: there's a program on the "setttings" menu | 01:38 |
| pseud0cod3r | but i need more a genral | 01:38 |
| edbian | pseud0cod3r, Assuming you already wrote them. Look at System -> Startup | 01:38 |
| Beyecixramd | pseud0cod3r: you mean, for every user? | 01:39 |
| Dr_Willis | pseud0cod3r: a more general what? | 01:39 |
| edbian | pseud0cod3r, System -> Preferences -> startup that is | 01:39 |
| pseud0cod3r | solution like for all distro | 01:39 |
| bastid_raZor | sebsebseb: Lies! | 01:39 |
| belkinsa | There's also Ubuntu Tweak. | 01:39 |
| Dr_Willis | we are playing 20 questions here. | 01:39 |
| sebsebseb | bastid_raZor: What? | 01:39 |
| Dr_Willis | pseud0cod3r: it depends on the window maanger/desktop, and what the user is logging into... | 01:39 |
| bastid_raZor | sebsebseb: :) | 01:39 |
| sebsebseb | bastid_raZor: I was very happy with Ubuntu second release in 2005 untill 9.04 except for one little feature that I didn't like. | 01:39 |
| Beyecixramd | pseud0cod3r: maybe you want to run something on GDM? | 01:39 |
| sebsebseb | bastid_raZor: anyway that guy is in off topic now | 01:40 |
| Beyecixramd | pseud0cod3r: or at boot time | 01:40 |
| pseud0cod3r | k then how would it be done if is it to be launched at boot time?like rc.local | 01:40 |
| Dr_Willis | pseud0cod3r: rc.local runs befor X. and befor anyone logs in.. so it all depends on WHAT you are wanting to autorun | 01:40 |
| tensorpudding | sbackup doesn't seem to actually do any backups | 01:41 |
| pseud0cod3r | k any other option to run after login | 01:41 |
| tensorpudding | the process is zombied as soon as it starts | 01:41 |
| belkinsa | What's your question then, tensopudding? | 01:41 |
| Dr_Willis | pseud0cod3r: it totally depends on the windowmanager/desktop/ the users are using. and so on. | 01:42 |
| Dr_Willis | !autostart | pseud0cod3r | 01:42 |
| ubottu | pseud0cod3r: 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 | 01:42 |
| tensorpudding | I guess I'm wondering if this is a known bug. | 01:42 |
| pseud0cod3r | !boot | 01:42 |
| ubottu | 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 | 01:42 |
| belkinsa | Have you check LauchPad for the bug? | 01:42 |
| pseud0cod3r | k that i knew already | 01:43 |
| c3l | whats up with ktorrent, it eats cpu and memory? is this a known issue? | 01:43 |
| Dr_Willis | pseud0cod3r: if you want to 'force' a program to start for every user. theres some X config files you could change.. but im not sure what ones would be right. or why this would even be desired. | 01:43 |
| pseud0cod3r | any other solution like .bash_profile | 01:43 |
| belkinsa | c3l: Is this on Ubuntu or KUbuntu? | 01:43 |
| c3l | belkinsa: kubuntu | 01:43 |
| prince_jammys | pseud0cod3r: the profile gets sourced on login, yes. | 01:44 |
| Dr_Willis | profile also gets sourced on console logins.. :) | 01:44 |

| Fudge | not vnc lol, im blind and dont always have a monitoor attached | 02:00 |
| Fudge | but this machine is my media machine and i havnt setup the capture card and stuff yet but want to boot to gnome | 02:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Fudge: Ok. :) theres a lot of times that people want to use the gnome shared desktop feature.. and dont realize that theres ways to vnc without being logged in automacilly. | 02:00 |
| Fudge | yep understood Dr_Willis ive seen comments about it on threads | 02:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Fudge: I cant say that ive noticed X not starting with no monitor attatched.. then again. ive not really tried. | 02:01 |

| Fudge | i thought since the capture card has svideo which goes to a AV adapter that xorg would have found that and configured it but was wrong | 02:03 |

| Fudge | it does Dr_Willis but only a failsafe one there that i can see | 02:06 |

| superlou | and don't have a second monitor | 02:11 |
| === positron is now known as Guest4736 | ||
| Dr_Willis | superlou: you can use the nvidia-settings tool to turn off twinview, and hit apply. | 02:11 |
| Dr_Willis | superlou: or move the xorg.conf, or edit it.. and restart the X server | 02:11 |
| superlou | Dr_Willis, yeah, i can't get to the menu bar | 02:12 |
| superlou | well, the part that would let me start a terminal in gnome | 02:12 |
| superlou | or select nvidia-settings from System | 02:12 |
| Fudge | alt f2 type gnome-terminal | 02:12 |
| Dr_Willis | the power of da terminal :) | 02:12 |
| superlou | yeah, but isn't nvidia-settings a gnome app? | 02:13 |
| Dr_Willis | alt-f2 and 'nvidia-settings' :) | 02:13 |
| superlou | oh | 02:13 |
| Fudge | since i hae speakup ow i cant stand gnome terminal | 02:13 |
| Dr_Willis | superlou: its an X app.. | 02:13 |
| superlou | X, sorry | 02:13 |
| superlou | been a long day | 02:13 |
| Dr_Willis | thers the nvidia-xconfig thats a terminal app. | 02:13 |
| bastid_raZor | superlou: you'll need to run the command with gksudo in order for it to be able to write.. nvidia-xconfig will also need sudo | 02:13 |
| Dr_Willis | rember with an X = its not an X app :) with no X in the name.. its an X app.. heh. | 02:13 |
| superlou | so, i think it started | 02:14 |
| superlou | but it's on the other monitor | 02:14 |
| superlou | yep, i can see it on the desktops swticher (which happens to be in my viewable area) | 02:14 |
| superlou | actually, hotkey for move window? | 02:15 |
| Dr_Willis | You could just edit the xorg.conf and disable twinview.. and restart X... | 02:15 |
| bastid_raZor | superlou: alt + left click (hold) and drag | 02:15 |
| superlou | Got the window! (alt+f7) | 02:15 |

| === KangMurloc is now known as STiK | ||
| coz_ | jjgalvez, go under system/preferences/preferred applications I believe | 02:24 |
| Fudge | jjgalvez doesnt transmission have a configuration setting for it | 02:24 |
| rileyp | Mr_Sonoma, but with every lcommand i perform I have problems as the install dirs are differnt iin ubuintu to redhat whic is what the guide was made for | 02:24 |
| coz_ | jjgalvez, it is not there sorry | 02:24 |
| Grayhane | what command removes non-empty directories ? | 02:25 |
| tensorpudding | jjgalvez: you can associate .torrent files with transmission | 02:25 |
| harlan | Grayhane: rm -rf | 02:25 |
| jjgalvez | Fudge: I looked in transmission and there doesn't seem to a setting to make it the default client | 02:25 |
| Mr_Sonoma | would sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre not handle the java requirement? | 02:25 |
| jjgalvez | tensorpudding: how do I do the association? | 02:25 |
| rileyp | At present Im up to step 6# Verify that you can access the Tomcat server using a web browser | 02:26 |

| Guest1231 | kairu0: the directory I pointed it to? that does, I copied it from nautilus. also, I've changed the user to www-data, root, my user name, and done chmod +x, chmod 777, chmod 755, all with the same results | 02:41 |
| harlan | OK, then update-grub will clearly not help me. | 02:41 |
| Purpley | How do I copy everything inside a folder and paste it somewhere else? is there a flag for cp for what I need? I dont want to copy the folder just the stuff inside | 02:41 |
| harlan | The best solution would be to find the root-cause of why it cannot find the root disk via UUID. | 02:41 |
| Mr_Sonoma | Guest1231, check the permission on /var/www/ and index.html in that directory. make sure that "others" have permission to read | 02:41 |
| tensorpudding | cp folder/* newfolder/ | 02:42 |
| tensorpudding | ^ Purpley | 02:42 |
| eliezer | i just install Ylmf and im wondering if i need like a codec pack or something loke it ? | 02:42 |
| Beyecixramd | I'm trying to install an SSL certificate in my VPS, and it asks me for "Organizational Unit Name" what is it? | 02:42 |
| === BDsLoveGoat is now known as STiK | ||
| harlan | But I need to get something working as I don't want to be having to walk somebody thru the reboot sequence when I am away from th emachine. | 02:42 |
| Purpley | tensorpudding: Ahh thanks didnt know if I could use wildcards | 02:42 |
| kairu0 | Guest1231, what Mr_Sonoma said | 02:42 |
| tensorpudding | It ignores files that start with . though | 02:43 |
| lcuk | does anyone ever click the close button and have the application BEHIND close rather than the one you actually clicked on? | 02:43 |
| Guest1231 | Mr_Sonoma: my [...]/sites-enabled/default file: http://codepad.org/ViyZvBof | 02:43 |
| eliezer | where can i get codecs for linux | 02:43 |
| eliezer | audio and video | 02:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | eliezer, ubuntu-restricted-extras for starters | 02:44 |
| kairu0 | eliezer, http://medibuntu.org/ | 02:44 |
| wildbat_laptop | harlan, are you using !grub or !grub2 ? | 02:44 |
| Mr_Sonoma | eliezer, sudo apt-get install w32codecs | 02:44 |
| === wildbat_laptop is now known as wildbat | ||
| bastid_raZor | ubottu: tell eliezer about codecs | 02:44 |
| ubottu | eliezer, please see my private message | 02:44 |
| harlan | wildbat: it happens with both grub1 and grub2. | 02:44 |
| dCrim | Does anyone know what happened to the Insight GDB GUI? | 02:44 |
| harlan | I'm still chainloading grub2 from grub1 | 02:44 |
| dCrim | And why it disappeared from the Ubuntu packages? | 02:45 |
| dCrim | (and Debian, for that matter) | 02:45 |
| wildbat | !grub2 | harlan | 02:45 |
| ubottu | harlan: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 02:45 |
| wildbat | !grub | harlan | 02:45 |
| ubottu | harlan: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 02:45 |
| harlan | yes, I know all of that. | 02:45 |
| harlan | I have been thru the docs. | 02:45 |
| eliezer | invalid operation w32codecs | 02:46 |
| harlan | It looks like my only choice may be to put in custom grub menu choices, and that will Suck Badly whenever we upgade the kernel. | 02:46 |
| harlan | I would prefer to find/fix the root cause, or figure out how to tell grub-upgrade (or whatever) that it should not use UUIDs to find the root drive. | 02:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | eliezer, w32codecs or w64codecs are medibuntu packages - you need to add the repo first | 02:47 |
| wildbat | harlan, fix the scripts that generate the grub.cfg then | 02:47 |
| harlan | If this is in the docs and I missed it, sorry - the info is not that obvious. | 02:47 |
| Aeronius | narf! | 02:47 |
| eliezer | im using Ylmf | 02:47 |
| eliezer | is that like ubuntu | 02:47 |
| harlan | wildbat: I would rather not be that bored. | 02:47 |
| eliezer | xchat brouth me here | 02:48 |
| Aeronius | how do you execute a command on the command line, and get the command line back again while the process is running? | 02:48 |
| sweetpi | Aeronius: command & | 02:48 |
| Mr_Sonoma | Guest1231, have you checked your permisions on /home/josh/workspace/web/newMain ? | 02:48 |
| greezmunkey | Aeronius: add an ampersand & to the end of the command | 02:48 |
| bastid_raZor | Aeronius: command & disown | 02:48 |
| Guest1231 | Mr_Sonoma: repeatedly, yes | 02:49 |
| Aeronius | ok, so like, $angband & | 02:49 |
| Mr_Sonoma | ok let me compare my config to yours and see what i see | 02:49 |
| Aeronius | confirm or deny? | 02:50 |
| Beyecixramd | save and quit in VI? | 02:52 |
| bastid_raZor | Beyecixramd: :wq | 02:52 |
| ZykoticK9 | Beyecixramd, :wq! | 02:52 |
| Beyecixramd | thanks bastid_raZor and ZykoticK9 | 02:52 |
| Aeronius | greezmunkey: so like this: ~$ angband & | 02:53 |
| Aeronius | bastid_raZor: is that right? | 02:53 |
| bastid_raZor | Aeronius: yes, it will still output things to the terminal but you will be able to use the terminal for other things as well | 02:54 |
| lcuk | i keep clicking the close button on different applications. randomly, it will send the MouseClick event through to the application behind and close the wrong window | 02:54 |
| lcuk | has anyone experienced this and how do i solve it | 02:54 |
| Aeronius | ok! thx! narf! | 02:54 |
| Mr_Sonoma | Guest1231, i'm not seeing anything jump out at me. i assume apache2 is starting without issues or warnings when you use service apache2 restart? | 02:55 |
| greezmunkey | Aeronius: sorry, I was away. Yeah, that should do it. If the proggie is graphical and does not need to be run as root, that would be fine. If you need root make sure you use gksudo {program} & | 02:55 |
| Guest1231 | Mr_Sonoma: no more than it usually does: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName | 02:56 |
| greezmunkey | bastid_raZor: heh | 02:56 |
| Dezine | Is there any reason why the Ubuntu installer wouldn't recognize my windows 7 64-bit install or can't it? | 02:56 |
| Mr_Sonoma | Guest1231, is this a fresh install or a config change issue? | 02:56 |
| Gryllida | how do I untar? | 02:57 |
| Guest1231 | Mr_Sonoma: I changed /etc/apache2/sites-available/default: http://codepad.org/ViyZvBof | 02:57 |
| dlp | tar xvf tarfile.tar | 02:58 |
| Aeronius | is there a tutorial for irssi? | 02:58 |
| MaRk-I | Gryllida: tar -xf archive.tar | 02:58 |
| Mr_Sonoma | Guest1231, it was working before the change? what did you change? | 02:58 |
| Aeronius | what's a cool place to hang out on IRC? | 02:58 |
| jjgalvez | going to upgrade from grub 1 to grub 2 anyone have any experience with that, anything I need to watch out for? | 02:58 |
| Guest1231 | Mr_Sonoma: I changed lines 4 and 9 | 02:59 |
| greezmunkey | Aeronius: sort of, at http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Linux_Tutorial_Irssi | 02:59 |
| bastid_raZor | Aeronius: http://irssi.org/ and http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi | 02:59 |
| sweetpi | Guest1231: check .htaccess? | 02:59 |
| magic_ninja | is there anyway to get the sepcific build information from an executable within linux | 02:59 |
| Aeronius | thx all! | 02:59 |
| magic_ninja | such as the time down to the second of the build, etc | 02:59 |
| lcuk | magic_ninja, not usually - it has to be manually added by the developer and is frustrating | 03:00 |
| Guest1231 | sweetpi: I've never had to mess with that before..? | 03:00 |
| magic_ninja | lcuk, well its manually added, i need it for an executable verifcation code | 03:00 |
| bastid_raZor | Aeronius: a good channel for irssi help is #irssi | 03:00 |
| lcuk | magic_ninja, hmm? you mean you want to know if the file is ELF? | 03:01 |
| sweetpi | Guest1231: I just figured maybe you changed your .htaccess and forgot, or maybe an ip deny is in place | 03:01 |
| lcuk | or if there is version information generically for every binary | 03:01 |
| === Guest8924 is now known as RaNdY | ||
| Guest1231 | sweetpi: nope, didn't change it. and afaik from the sites-available/default file I'm allowing everything locally. it's just a local site | 03:02 |
| TanEk | hi, is there a way to specify apt-get to upgrade a specific package to a new version? even if it is only available on like unstable repositories | 03:02 |
| === RaNdY is now known as Guest78089 | ||
| Mr_Sonoma | Guest1231, ok here's what i'm thinking, maybe someone here will correct me if i'm wrong, your web page is in your /home directory where you probably do NOT have others set to view files. I'm not sure how having a directory that is set to allow "others" to view will work if its WITHIN a directory that does not. | 03:02 |
| Mr_Sonoma | Guest1231, you follow in my thinking? | 03:03 |
| bastid_raZor | TanEk: i'll bite.. unstable repositories? | 03:03 |
| Guest1231 | Mr_Sonoma: I do, but I've chown'd and chmod'd those directories recursively already | 03:03 |
| x90x | hello | 03:04 |
| x90x | how are you everybody | 03:05 |
| TanEk | bastid_raZor, I mean I have a software that has a bug fix or a new feature I want and I would like to upgrade it but I don't want to upgrade other softwares because I'm afraid to add bugs and stuffs in the other ones so I don't want to take the risk to upgrade | 03:05 |
| Mr_Sonoma | Guest1231, i'm trying to help ya bro, i just cant seem to get off the permission thing for what ever reason...i'll keep comparing and thinking but right now i'm outta ideas | 03:05 |
| TanEk | so I would just like to have the "unstable" version of this specific software only | 03:05 |
| bastid_raZor | TanEk: what 'unstable' repository are you referring to? | 03:05 |
| TanEk | bastid_raZor, I've heard ppa repositories? | 03:05 |
| TanEk | bastid_raZor, not using them yet, I know my software is in a ppa repo | 03:06 |
| prince_jammys | Aeronius: look in /usr/share/doc/irssi | 03:06 |
| TanEk | that's what I have understood | 03:06 |
| Guest1231 | Mr_Sonoma: that would make sense to any me too (the permission thing), but shouldn't chmod 777 remove any doubt of permissions issues? | 03:06 |
| ZykoticK9 | TanEk, apt will get whatever the newest version of a specific program is available, so if you add a PPA which has a newer version then you'll get it :) | 03:06 |
| x90x | {[how to tunnel all traffic in eth0 over socks5]} | 03:06 |
| TanEk | ZykoticK9, I know but it will also upgrade all the other softwares that have a new version in this ppa | 03:07 |
| bastid_raZor | TanEk: normally, newer versions require newer dependencies for that program. if that is fine then yes, adding a PPA is fine | 03:07 |
| TanEk | and I don't want that | 03:07 |
| magic_ninja | lcuk, i got it ty bro | 03:07 |
| greezmunkey | Guest1231: create a new user on your system, log in as that user, and then try to access the directories that you chmodded. | 03:07 |
| Mr_Sonoma | Guest1231, it should and that's what's got me is your saying the directories are set to that | 03:07 |
| edhant | kenapa kurang di ubuntu-id | 03:07 |
| Guest1231 | Mr_Sonoma: set to what? | 03:07 |
| Mr_Sonoma | Guest1231, that's from /home all the way to the newmain thing right? | 03:07 |

| dropout | Can anyone help me to setup a atftpd server? | 03:08 |
| TanEk | bastid_raZor, yes but I want this repo only for this software and its dependencies, you see what I mean? | 03:08 |
| dropout | please | 03:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | TanEk, bastid_raZor is making a good point - dependencies are just as important as the actual program | 03:08 |
| TanEk | I know that | 03:08 |
| TanEk | but if after I do apt-get upgrade | 03:08 |
| dropout | I have tried to setup one but Im not able to do so | 03:08 |
| TanEk | it will upgrade everything that is new in this repo, not only my software and its dependencies | 03:08 |

| dropout | there are errors "file not found" | 03:09 |
| dropout | how can I fix it | 03:09 |
| bastid_raZor | TanEk: if you only want the one program and its dependencies then it is fine to install it. you don't have to update other things the PPA may offer if yo udon't want | 03:09 |
| dropout | ? | 03:09 |
| Guest1231 | Mr_Sonoma: actually if was from web/ on. it's in ~/workspace/web/newMain | 03:09 |
| Mr_Sonoma | Guest1231, 777 witch should be RWX-RWX-RWX | 03:09 |
| Guest1231 | yeah | 03:09 |
| greezmunkey | dropout: check this out: http://souptonuts.sourceforge.net/sshtips.htm | 03:10 |
| Mr_Sonoma | Guest1231, my concern is that your /home is what's blocking it | 03:10 |
| Mr_Sonoma | Guest1231, but i'm not sure about that. you'd have to test | 03:10 |
| dropout | any channel dedicated to atftp related quries? | 03:10 |
| dropout | or this is the apt place? | 03:10 |
| Guest1231 | Mr_Sonoma: ok, I'll put it in /var/www | 03:11 |
| dropout | please respond | 03:11 |
| Dezine | Is there any reason why the Ubuntu installer wouldn't recognize my windows 7 64-bit install or can't it? | 03:11 |

| bakingsoda | dis octoba or da nex obtoba? | 03:12 |
| prince_jammys | CAPcap: explain what you mean by 'environment' | 03:12 |
| sweetpi | Guest1231: could you pastebin the following: ls -lad /home/josh /home/josh/workspace /home/josh/workspace/web /home/josh/workspace/web/newMain; cat /home/josh/workspace/web/newMain/.htaccess | 03:13 |
| bastid_raZor | eric_3: oh, gedit for gui editor, vim or pico or nano for cli .. you'll need gksudo for the gui application and sudo for the cli applications | 03:13 |
| CAPcap | prince_jammys, like another desktop running. ya? | 03:13 |
| eric_3 | thank you | 03:13 |
| Mr_Sonoma | Guest1231, i'd be curious to know if my theory is right, let me know if putting it in /var/www fixes it for ya | 03:13 |
| Guest1231 | sweetpi: I'll try /var/www quick, and pastebin that if it doesn't work ^^ | 03:14 |
| prince_jammys | CAPcap: it's possible to run another X session. For example, ctrl-alt-f2 to go to a console, login in, and ''startx -- :1'' | 03:14 |
| CAPcap | thats what i mean | 03:14 |
| CAPcap | how do i do that? | 03:14 |

| Mr_Sonoma | Guest1231, i'm no permission guru, i just know that i've never tried to give access to a directory thats within a directory that i'm restricting access to. my thinking being in order to get to that directory they have to be able to get to all upper level directories on the way to it. | 03:16 |
| Guest1231 | ohh ok, that would make sense | 03:17 |
| bastid_raZor | CAPcap: press ctrl+alt+F3 then login and type exactly what prince_jammys said.. startx -- :1 | 03:17 |
| prince_jammys | CAPcap: gnome may also provide a gui way to do this. | 03:17 |

| bastid_raZor | prince_jammys: a new way for me to test drive window managers now.. | 03:25 |
| thune3 | Daekdroom: but the ppa also has 3.6 series firefox daily builds, which i'm worried will also upgrade if you add ppa. | 03:25 |
| CAPcap | prince_jammys, because when i told it to start the session it just started another gnome one without asking | 03:26 |
| abhijain | thune3: can u help me for installation for new beta 4,0 | 03:26 |
| edhant | i don't understand | 03:26 |
| rolandpish | Daekdroom, thanks. Well, I'm so addicted to gnome, and I'm trying to know if there is a way to have a "light" gnome for a P3 512MB laptop. | 03:26 |
| Daekdroom | thune3, well, yes, but it'll update to a different branded 3.6.8pre version, which is not such a big difference. | 03:26 |
| Gryllida | edhant, what? | 03:26 |
| Gryllida | !hi | edhant | 03:26 |
| ubottu | edhant: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 03:26 |
| DJIndy | hello | 03:26 |
| === Sup|Lobby is now known as Guest20169 | ||
| Daekdroom | rolandpish, XFCE feels very close to GNOME | 03:26 |
| prince_jammys | CAPcap: right, there are ways around this. | 03:26 |
| stanley_robertso | hi DJIndy | 03:27 |
| x90x | hi all any app for ubuntu as socks cap so i could be able to add socks and tunnel over it or any manual way could help ??? | 03:27 |
| edhant | remote shutdoun please? | 03:27 |
| BuiltAmerica | ok deadbit will reboot the searchbot but I shouldnt really :)& | 03:27 |
| rolandpish | Daekdroom, you almost convinced me :) I'll try to research if dropbox and rabbitvcs applications run ok in xfce | 03:27 |
| DJIndy | ok, so I'm using Ubuntu Netbook Edition (10.04) and as a solution to a problem I had previously I removed pulse audio controller | 03:27 |
| lcuk | edhant, sorry i cant remote shutdown your machine from here, you will have to do it yourself | 03:27 |
| CAPcap | prince_jammys, could you help me start an openbox session in my second xsession? | 03:27 |
| === Guest20169 is now known as SuP|Lobby | ||
| DJIndy | However, now I can't get any audio controller back in the panel or anywhere else | 03:27 |
| Daekdroom | rolandpish, if they are made for GNOME, they should have close to 0 problems running in XFCE :D | 03:28 |
| DJIndy | and I need to use something to enable my usb headset | 03:28 |
| lcuk | plugging it in will help | 03:28 |
| DJIndy | I checked in system and when I click on sound it says it cannot access sound system | 03:28 |
| jjgalvez | I have 10.04 installed on a fakeraid, does grub2 still not work with fakeraid, should I just stay with my grub1 install? | 03:28 |
| edhant | please | 03:28 |
| thune3 | Daekdroom: does a 4.0beta install require a seperate ff profile, to avoid contamination? or is it seperated by default? | 03:28 |
| Daekdroom | thune3, separated by default | 03:28 |
| rolandpish | Daekdroom, great! That's what I wanted to know. Is lxde as compatible as xfce for gnome/gtk applications? | 03:28 |
| thune3 | Daekdroom: thx | 03:28 |
| Daekdroom | rolandpish, about that I'm not sure... | 03:29 |
| jjgalvez | edhant: can you ssh to the machine you want to shutdown? | 03:29 |
| CAPcap | edhant, try asking it as a complete questions like "I need to do a remote shutdown of my PC and I dont even know where to start. Can someone walk me through it?" | 03:29 |
| tsccof | hi, I would like to say all Ubuntu users suck a cock | 03:29 |
| rww | ubottu: tell tsccof about guidelines | 03:29 |
| ubottu | tsccof, please see my private message | 03:29 |

| x90x | tsccof go to hell | 03:30 |
| prince_jammys | CAPcap: how do you normally start openbox? | 03:30 |
| Daekdroom | !ops | tsccof | 03:30 |

| CAPcap | prince_jammys, from my the GDM login | 03:30 |
| edhant | ssh -l "ip" | 03:30 |
| DJIndy | so yea, I have this headset plugged in, but I can't tell the sound system to use it at all | 03:30 |
| x90x | rww sry | 03:30 |
| edhant | no work | 03:30 |
| x90x | hi all any app for ubuntu as socks cap so i could be able to add socks and tunnel over it or any manual way could help ??? | 03:30 |
| DJIndy | and I would like to get SOME sound controller in my panel again so I can adjust levels and such | 03:31 |
| DJIndy | as my netbook won't adjust it with hotkeys | 03:31 |
| CAPcap | prince_jammys, thats how i start anything gnome, kde, xfce, lxde, openbox. whatever i happen to have installed and want to use. currently thats just gnome and openbox i believe | 03:31 |
| jjgalvez | edhant: try ssh <user>@ip | 03:31 |
| rolandpish | Daekdroom, downloading xubuntu now. Thanks a lot. | 03:31 |
| === richard is now known as Guest71105 | ||
| lcuk | edhant, i told you, i cannot shutdown your machine from here. just press the powerbutton. and get out of my PM box | 03:31 |
| MaRk-I | DJIndy: you might have to install: paman and padevchooser, | 03:32 |
| edhant | no work | 03:32 |
| wgrant | DJIndy: Which version of Ubuntu are you using? Was it upgraded from another release? | 03:32 |
| DJIndy | Ubuntu Netbook 10,04 | 03:32 |
| edhant | use exploite | 03:32 |
| DJIndy | no, it was clean | 03:32 |
| CAPcap | edhant, are you at the computer that you are trying to shutdown? | 03:32 |
| DJIndy | I had removed pulse audio earlier as a solution to another problem I had that I found in the forums said to do that | 03:32 |
| DJIndy | and it worked for that, but now I can't tell it to activate the headset and such or adjust sound levesl | 03:33 |
| wgrant | DJIndy: Argh. | 03:33 |
| wgrant | DJIndy: Do not remove PulseAudio just because some forum post tells you to. | 03:33 |
| x90x | hi all any app for ubuntu as socks cap so i could be able to add socks and tunnel over it or any manual way could help ??? | 03:33 |
| wgrant | Removing it isn't really supported. | 03:33 |
| DJIndy | Well, I know that now | 03:33 |
| wgrant | What was the original problem? | 03:33 |
| DJIndy | any way to get it back up in the panel? I later tried to reinstall it from the repositories but it didn't go to the startup stuff I guess or something | 03:34 |
| patx | i just put ubuntu 10.04 on a mac mini however it seems ubuntu does not know the mac mini has wireless. how can i fix this? | 03:34 |
| DJIndy | the original problem was with using the built in mic | 03:34 |
| DJIndy | it previously distorted other sounds when the mic was working | 03:35 |
| wgrant | DJIndy: Reinstall pulseaudio and indicator-sound. | 03:35 |
| DJIndy | ok | 03:35 |
| jjgalvez | anyone know if grub2 works with fakeraid, or should I stick with grub1? | 03:35 |
| eric_3 | um the options aren't in the grub file | 03:36 |
| Purpley | Hey is there a CLI program to unrar rar arhcives? unrar doesnt work and unrar-free doesnt either | 03:36 |
| wgrant | !doesn'twork | Purpley | 03:36 |
| wgrant | !doesn't work | Purpley | 03:36 |
| ubottu | Purpley: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 03:36 |
| lcuk | wgrant, meta question: is there a list of the commands you use to direct people (like you just used) | 03:37 |
| eric_3 | bastid_raZor, um there is no options in the grub file | 03:37 |
| riveraj | i am setting up an ubuntu gateway server. EXTIF = 192.168.12.2 /24, INTIF = 192.168.12.10 /24, why is there no internet on client PCs under INTIF network | 03:37 |
| Purpley | wgrant: I cant give much more info as I dont have much on unrar-free, It just says extraction has failed, unrar seems sophiscated and I dont get the "switch" | 03:37 |
| edhant | why does not anyone help me | 03:38 |
| wgrant | lcuk: Not sure if there is these days, sorry. | 03:38 |
| trism | !askthebot | lcuk | 03:38 |
| ubottu | lcuk: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". | 03:38 |
| trism | hmm, wrong one | 03:38 |
| prince_jammys | CAPcap: something like ''startx openbox-session -- :1'' | 03:38 |
| trism | !ubottu | lcuk | 03:38 |
| Daekdroom | trism, right one. | 03:38 |
| ubottu | lcuk: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots | 03:38 |
| lcuk | wgrant, just curious, not an issue, glad some people remember them. thanks trism!! | 03:38 |
| kazagistar | patx: grats on getting it installed, anyways | 03:39 |
| Purpley | So wgrant any ideas or suggestions? | 03:39 |
| wgrant | Purpley: So 'unrar' says extraction has failed, too? | 03:39 |
| eric_3 | hello i need help removing boot options from grub | 03:39 |
| Purpley | wgrant: I cant get that to work, I dont get what the switches in the syntax are supposed to be | 03:39 |
| edhant | zsxdcfcgvgvghbnjjkml,l,.;.'/ | 03:40 |
| lcuk | edhant, you need to logon to the machine you want to shutdown, if you cannot do that then you cannot shut it down, no amount of asking for help will manage it for you and i think people here wont drive to your colo and press button - but your service provider might know more | 03:40 |
| === forlan is now known as deco | ||
| wgrant | Purpley: I've not used it myself for a very long time, but I'd try 'unrar e SOMETHING.rar' | 03:40 |
| Purpley | when I put in man unrar I get the syntax is sup[posed to be, unrar <command> -<switch 1> -<switch N> <archive> <files...> <@listfiles...> <path_to_extract\> | 03:40 |
| Purpley | wgrant: ^ | 03:40 |
| DJIndy | ok, so I got those packages and now I can access the sound controls and such, however even though my Logitech Headset is being detected, and can adjust volume from its own buttons, it is still only sending sound through the netbook speakers and not picking up the mic | 03:40 |
| DJIndy | also, how would I get the controller back in the panel? | 03:41 |
| patx | kazagistar, thx... do u know about the wireless? | 03:41 |
| Purpley | wgrant: See what I mean? I just want something like unzip for rar files | 03:41 |
| DJIndy | or should I just restart and see if that works | 03:41 |
| wgrant | DJIndy: It is a USB headset? | 03:41 |
| DJIndy | yeas | 03:41 |
| DJIndy | yes | 03:41 |
| Purpley | Simple and easy to use :) | 03:41 |
| prince_jammys | CAPcap: try this, with full path: ''startx /usr/bin/openbox-session -- :1' | 03:41 |
| wgrant | DJIndy: If you log out and in, it should return. | 03:41 |
| eric_3 | hi does anyone know grub? | 03:41 |
| wgrant | Purpley: Well, unrar is proprietary, so we can't fix it, sadly :( | 03:41 |
| DJIndy | ok, I'll try that, thanks | 03:41 |
| CAPcap | prince_jammys, thanks i will | 03:41 |
| Purpley | wgrant: Anything that can unrar a archive easily? | 03:41 |
| kazagistar | patx: have you looked here? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook | 03:42 |
| wgrant | Purpley: file-roller, the default Ubuntu archive manager? | 03:42 |
| Purpley | wgrant: Can i use that on the CLI? | 03:42 |
| kazagistar | Purpley: if you want a hack that works pretty well, you can install 7zip using wine | 03:43 |
| Purpley | kazagistar: I dont have a gui | 03:43 |
| iceroot | Purpley: just use unrar-nonfree and dot use such strage things with wine | 03:44 |
| wgrant | Purpley: I don't believe so. | 03:44 |
| Purpley | iceroot: It says the extraction has failed | 03:44 |
| iceroot | Purpley: then the archive is broken, check with md5 | 03:44 |
| CAPcap | that worked brilliantly prince_jammys thank you | 03:45 |
| Purpley | iceroot: Ahh never mind the archive isnt that important :/ | 03:45 |
| iceroot | Purpley: also check if it is a multi-archive-rar file | 03:45 |
| iceroot | Purpley: ok | 03:45 |
| Purpley | iceroot: It isnt | 03:45 |
| kazagistar | iceroot: I have found that 7z and lzma support is faster and more comprehensive through wine then in native libraries | 03:45 |
| prince_jammys | CAPcap: are you able to switch back and forth? | 03:45 |
| iceroot | kazagistar: using wine for that is (sorry) a very stupid idea | 03:46 |
| kazagistar | also, I dont know if unrar-nonfree supports passwords | 03:46 |
| iceroot | kazagistar: it does | 03:46 |
| CAPcap | prince_jammys, yes very easily and my old crappy computer isnt even skipping a beat | 03:46 |
| prince_jammys | cool | 03:46 |
| wgrant | iceroot: There's a reason unrar-nonfree exists: it supports some archives that unrar-free does not. | 03:46 |
| kazagistar | iceroot: good to know... so why is that stupid? | 03:46 |
| iceroot | wgrant: and i was suggestin unrar-nonfree | 03:46 |
| CAPcap | prince_jammys, again, thanks for all of your help, its good to know how to do this :) | 03:46 |
| wgrant | iceroot: Yes, a proprietary compression format is *completely* screwed up, but such is life. | 03:47 |
| prince_jammys | CAPcap: welcome | 03:47 |
| iceroot | kazagistar: you have to install wine, you have to install windows software | 03:47 |
| prince_jammys | CAPcap: there's likely a GUI way to do something like this, from gnome. | 03:47 |
| iceroot | kazagistar: for things which can be done with default software | 03:47 |
| patx | kazagistar, this should solve it - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Macmini4-1/Lucid#Wireless | 03:47 |
| kazagistar | iceroot: and it works better and faster, and has functionality the native version does not... I still don't see what the problem is | 03:48 |
| Purpley | Hey guys im trying to download the actual file at this link http://forums.alliedmods.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=69557&d=1279056062 but wget wont download it, How do i download it? | 03:49 |
| iceroot | kazagistar: i told ou what the problem is. you need wine, you need windows-software, you maybe need a gui for the zip-programm. think of a server-environment, you want to install x + wine + windowssoftware to extract files? | 03:49 |
| iceroot | kazagistar: that is a very stupid idea | 03:50 |
| Daekdroom | Tracker was part of older Ubuntu releases, right? | 03:50 |
| iceroot | kazagistar: and its only faster because the windows-version is using 2 cores by default, in the linux-version you have to say "use 2 cores" | 03:50 |
| wgrant | Daekdroom: It was included by default in one release around four years ago, IIRC. | 03:50 |
| Daekdroom | wgrant, ah, thank you. | 03:51 |
| kazagistar | iceroot: I see what you mean on a server environment | 03:51 |
| djindy1 | Alright, wgrant, it works now | 03:52 |
| kazagistar | patx: did it work? | 03:53 |
| patx | kazagistar, ugh.. no.it said download driver index failed... most drivers will bot be available | 03:54 |
| iceroot | kazagistar: are you using firefox with wine? because the windows-version is using an optimized engine and its running fastet thaen the native linux-version (see benchmarks on google) | 03:54 |
| profxavier | i have a laptop, which I am trying to use Ubuntu's live CD on, but the display isnt working, so I connected a secondary display. How can I toggle the display to go onto that monitor? | 03:54 |
| profxavier | usually under Windows I press FN + F4 | 03:55 |
| profxavier | that will allow the monitors to mirror each other | 03:55 |
| wgrant | profxavier: That doesn't work in Ubuntu? | 03:56 |
| profxavier | correct | 03:56 |
| iceroot | kazagistar: also try to run a virus with wine, its working great. its not infecting the linux-files but sometimes infecting the other program-files from windows in wine. if you dont trustme, have a testby yourself. i dont think you want to use soomething like htat | 03:56 |
| wgrant | profxavier: Which model is the laptop, and what sort of graphics card does it have? | 03:56 |
| profxavier | i heard the audio, when the LiveCD frist loads into Gnome | 03:56 |
| zulgaban | hi | 03:57 |
| profxavier | wgrant: HP PAvilion is all I can tell you | 03:57 |
| MaRk-I | profxavier: what kind of video card? | 03:57 |
| profxavier | MaRk-I: unknown | 03:57 |
| MaRk-I | that doesnt help | 03:58 |
| profxavier | let me look up the model | 03:58 |
| bastid_raZor | profxavier: lspci | grep VGA :will tell you | 03:58 |
| profxavier | weird | 03:58 |
| wgrant | bastid_raZor: Doesn't help if there's no display... | 03:58 |
| profxavier | so it put the monitor to sleep | 03:58 |
| profxavier | on loading Gnome... | 03:58 |
| profxavier | so its up now | 03:59 |
| wgrant | profxavier: On my Dell laptop, it automatically uses both. On my Lenovo it defaults to the internal, but pressing the monitor switch button works fine. | 03:59 |
| profxavier | bastid_raZor: kinda hard to run a command when the display wasn't working | 03:59 |
| jamescarr_ | wow | 03:59 |

| === RaNdY is now known as Guest39917 | ||
| profxavier | tensorpudding: test for error/repair | 04:04 |
| djindy | alright, so the headset works now, but its oddly very quiet even when I turn everything up to max, and now I have the old problem I had with the on board mic if I try to use that | 04:04 |
| === Prodego|away is now known as Prodego | ||
| tensorpudding | there's one that uses smart i think | 04:04 |
| Izinucs | profxavier: fsck is sort of like that. Your system will do that automatically every 30 boots or 30 days (typically).. you can also force it. | 04:04 |
| profxavier | k, ill look at man fsck | 04:05 |
| jjgalvez | I have some scripts I've written and placed in a bin folder in my home. how can I add my bin to the path so that they can run simply from the terminal? | 04:05 |
| tensorpudding | smartctl, in the smartmontools package I believe | 04:05 |
| pmatulis | jjgalvez: update your PATH variable | 04:06 |

| Maletor | Can someone compile this on an AMD64 and send the binary my way? | 04:10 |
| Maletor | http://github.com/posixninja/spirit-linux | 04:10 |
| kazagistar | iceroot: you made me curious, and so I dug around, and it turns out 7z does actually have the functionality of 7zip, though accessing it requires following a obscure doc link in the man file | 04:11 |
| Maletor | For the life of me I can't figure out why libimobiledevice can't find usbmuxd | 04:11 |
| pmatulis | jjgalvez: actually, if you have 'bin' right under your home folder then you don't need to do anyting but source your .profile | 04:11 |
| pmatulis | jjgalvez: 'source ~/.profile' | 04:11 |

| blitzo | hi - i have a wubi question - a friend has loaded it on her windows7 machine and everytime she goes to update/upgrade the machine freezes up and gives back no status. i want her to use a tty but nothing happens where you do ctrl-alt-f key. (A) does anyone have a suggestion what to look out for when update/upgrade barfs off, and (b) how do we get to a tyy console? | 04:15 |
| bigredradio | I have noticed my wireless driver (driver=wl0 driverversion=5.60.48.36) is alternating between 802.11a and 802.11abg. The configuration from lshw shows wireless=IEEE 802.11a. Can this be set manually to g rather than automatic? | 04:15 |
| goncalossilva | I've just screwed my Ubuntu Server instalation up | 04:15 |
| goncalossilva | ran a grub-install | 04:15 |
| drew1 | thune3: I suddenly realized my problem. I was running gksudo gconf-editor. That was editing GNOME for all users but not my current user, I guess. Just doing gconf-editor let me edit my current user's desktop and everything is working now. Thanks. | 04:16 |
| goncalossilva | and now I can't boot (I end up in a grub > screen) | 04:16 |
| goncalossilva | any ideias? | 04:16 |
| goncalossilva | been looking at this for a few hours now :( | 04:16 |
| pmatulis | asdasdf: try 'aptitude clean; aptitude install -f; aptitude update; aptitude reinstall libc6' | 04:16 |
| thune3 | drew1: i was about to ask about sudo ;) | 04:16 |
| blitzo | anyone here know wubi? | 04:16 |
| prince_jammys | drew212: the former probably sets root's settings. | 04:17 |
| Kurogane | anyone knows how i can untar a file without lossing the file owner? | 04:17 |
| blitzo | kurogane: man tar | 04:17 |
| bigredradio | goncalossilva, Are you getting errors? Can you edit the grub conf or are you not getting that far? | 04:17 |
| asdasdf | pmatulis, same problem | 04:17 |
| Izinucs | Kurogane: does the owner have an account on your machine? | 04:18 |
| Kurogane | Izinucs: nop | 04:18 |
| blitzo | kurogane: owners are by id number, not name, if the owner doesn't have an account the files will belong to a nameless number | 04:18 |
| bigredradio | Kurogane, it only holds the UID. If that UID on a different system is someone else, then they would own the files. Not good. | 04:19 |
| Izinucs | Kurogane: then what's the issue? are you going to pack it back up and give it back without their knowledge? | 04:19 |
| blitzo | anybody answer a WUBI question? | 04:20 |
| === thomas__ is now known as thomashc1 | ||
| pmatulis | asdasdf: sorry, dunno | 04:20 |
| goncalossilva | bigredradio: no errors. I think I've flashed Grub2 on top of Grub1 | 04:20 |
| edbian | blitzo, People here don't really like to help out with wubi. It's usually far more complicated. A lot of us see the solution to most wubi problems as "just install ubuntu normally" :) | 04:21 |
| bigredradio | goncalossilva, humm, not up on grub2. | 04:21 |
| Kurogane | I'm trying to make a template i tar it with the owners on that machine but if i untar it on other machine then i lose the owner for obvious reason i dont have those accounts | 04:21 |
| blitzo | edbian, i can appreciate that - i am trying to gently wean my friend off windows :-) | 04:21 |
| edbian | blitzo, What's the problem? | 04:22 |
| asdasdf | goncalossilva, try supergrubdisk | 04:22 |
| prince_jammys | blitzo: try: ''sudo chvt 2'' | 04:22 |
| bigredradio | goncalossilva, InstallCd, mount up your filesystems, chroot, reinstall grub. | 04:22 |
| blitzo | edbian, i have told her to update/upgrade using synaptic. she tells me the machine freezes up. | 04:22 |
| edbian | blitzo, Every time? Does it give any errors? | 04:22 |
| blitzo | edbian, well, actually it is the package manager automated process and no there are no errors | 04:23 |
| edbian | blitzo, run it at the cli and see if you can get errors | 04:23 |
| blitzo | next time i'll tell her to use apt-get and email me the syslog | 04:23 |
| blitzo | edbian, tell me how to get a tty console? not an xterm | 04:24 |
| edbian | blitzo, ctrl + alt + F2 | 04:24 |
| Izinucs | blitzo: you might get her to convert the install to a true dual boot.. or uninstall and then reinstall in virtualbox in windows if she's just testing.. | 04:24 |
| bigredradio | blitzo, You mean mknode the tty? | 04:25 |
| blitzo | edbian, she says that doesn't work - and it doesn't work on my ubuntu either - i get a blank screen | 04:25 |
| edbian | blitzo, just use a terminal? | 04:26 |
| blitzo | bigredradio, edbian: xubuntu has tty consoles tied to the ctrl-alt-f keys, does not work on ubuntu, do i have to enable something? | 04:26 |
| Gryllida | how do I ssh to a certain port? | 04:26 |
| Gryllida | ... | 04:26 |
| rileyp | ssh dad@192.168.1.10 | 04:26 |
| tensorpudding | -p i believe | 04:26 |
| edbian | blitzo, applications -> accessories -> terminal | 04:27 |
| prince_jammys | i bet ''man ssh'' tells you. something about -p, i suspect. | 04:27 |
| blitzo | edbian, that is an xterm. i want a tty console not under x | 04:27 |
| edbian | Gryllida, ssh user@ip:port | 04:27 |
| tensorpudding | man ssh would know, as well as writing an ~/.ssh/config file | 04:27 |
| prince_jammys | blitzo: did you try chvt ? | 04:27 |
| edbian | blitzo, Why? What's the difference? | 04:27 |
| gwern | so, I'm running a webcam grabber every hour through crontab using fswebcam; but I figure that this will often run when my laptop screen is shut giving useless solid black pics. offhand, anyone know anyway to detect whether X is not blanked? | 04:27 |
| blitzo | edbian, because x seems to be crashing | 04:27 |
| tensorpudding | blitzo: when it crashes, it should bring you back to a system console, right? | 04:28 |
| abhijain | hello i am just installed cario-dock now i an struggling with them change option any idea about cario-dock | 04:28 |
| edbian | blitzo, You should have ctrl + alt + F(1-6) as tty's maybe not on wubi though... | 04:28 |
| bigredradio | blitzo, No luck with alt-f2 alt-f3? | 04:29 |
| Izinucs | Is there a vnc or rdp server built into kubuntu 10.04? | 04:30 |
| bigredradio | blitzo, I think you should be able to log in without X, Alt-F2 to a differnt tty and start x. Worth a try. | 04:30 |
| blitzo | bigredradio that is correct - can you tell me how to restart X without rebooting? | 04:30 |
| bigredradio | Then you should be able to switch for testing | 04:30 |
| prince_jammys | blitzo: did you try ''sudo service gdm stop'', if she runs gdm? | 04:30 |
| Mr_Sonoma | Izinucs, yes | 04:30 |
| prince_jammys | blitzo: or 'restart' instead of 'stop', in the above. | 04:31 |
| noob_69 | is sebsebseb here? | 04:31 |
| blitzo | prince_jammys you are beyond me i don't know what that does | 04:31 |
| Izinucs | Mr_Sonoma: I've looked and looked for a menu item to set it up.. can you tell me where to find it? | 04:31 |
| blitzo | prince_jammys you are beyond me i don't know what that does | 04:31 |
| tensorpudding | Izinucs: see Ssytem -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop | 04:31 |
| prince_jammys | blitzo: restarts gdm, which is the GUI login manager. | 04:31 |
| Izinucs | tensorpudding: kubuntu.. menu's and program names are a little different | 04:31 |
| tensorpudding | oh wait, Kubuntu. | 04:32 |
| Izinucs | yep.. | 04:32 |
| prince_jammys | blitzo: well, it's gnome's login manager, which she may be using. | 04:32 |
| wgrant | blitzo: Does Ctrl+Alt+F1 not give you a tty? | 04:32 |
| Mr_Sonoma | i think its already ready to go, try using VNC into the machine in question from another computer | 04:32 |
| prince_jammys | sigh | 04:32 |
| edbian | prince_jammys, wgrant he's on wubi | 04:33 |
| Mr_Sonoma | been a while since i used KDE so i can't tell you EXACTLY where to go | 04:33 |
| wgrant | edbian: That doesn't change anything like this. | 04:33 |
| prince_jammys | edbian: right. wubi doesn't have gdm? | 04:33 |
| edbian | wgrant, prince_jammys I'm thinking it maybe doesn't have ttys ? | 04:34 |
| Izinucs | Mr_Sonoma: yea.. and with 4.xx it's different still.. that and I have run gnome for 5 years and recently put kde on my desktop.. still treading water with it.. | 04:34 |
| wgrant | edbian: It does. | 04:34 |
| edbian | wgrant, Well than nevermind! :) | 04:34 |
| FretFullFingers | hi folks what choices do I have for software midi play back? | 04:34 |
| wgrant | FretFullFingers: Perhaps have a look at 'timidity' | 04:34 |
| Mr_Sonoma | Izinucs, KDE 4 is what drove me away from KDE finally | 04:34 |
| bigredradio | I have noticed my wireless driver (driver=wl0 driverversion=5.60.48.36) is alternating between 802.11a and 802.11abg. The configuration from lshw shows wireless=IEEE 802.11a. Can this be set manually to g rather than automatic? | 04:35 |
| FretFullFingers | wgrant: I have seen timidity, is there anything else? | 04:35 |
| Izinucs | Mr_Sonoma: 4.3 is pretty nice and 4.4 or 4.5 I understand is getting even better.. I couldn't stand 3.x | 04:35 |
| wgrant | FretFullFingers: apt might know about some others, but that's what I use. | 04:36 |
| Mr_Sonoma | that and the fact i hadn't upgraded anything since Jaunty so KDE4 was not really to my liking, and Kmail (my perfered KDE email prog) was too buggy. so i blew the system away again (new hard drive install anyway) and installed GNOME | 04:36 |
| FretFullFingers | wgrant: Is there a good page on how to get it working. I am trying to get tuxguitar working with it. | 04:36 |
| Gryllida | how do I install/run screen? | 04:37 |
| wgrant | Gryllida: sudo apt-get install screen | 04:37 |
| wgrant | Gryllida: Then run 'screen' | 04:37 |
| wgrant | Gryllida: Although you may want to look at 'byobu'. It's screen, but with some nice profiles built in. | 04:38 |
| Izinucs | Mr_Sonoma: kmail is working well now that's it's a 4.3 port.. the entire "kontact" suit is nice.. seems more stable than Evolution to me.. I've always had issues with evo-data-server causing crashes. | 04:38 |
| Mr_Sonoma | Izinucs, see my experiance so far is the exact oposit since upgrading to lucid, kontact (akonadi server) issues when i'm not having any with evolution | 04:39 |
| bsmith093 | davfs2 is a royal PITA to set up but if u get it working it rocks | 04:39 |
| Mr_Sonoma | Izinucs, i still like kontact better but that's only because i'm still getting familar with evolution | 04:40 |
| Izinucs | Mr_Sonoma: yea.. akonadi is a thorn.. for me it seems to have settled down | 04:40 |
| Zatcharius | mutt. that is all. | 04:40 |
| Gryllida | ~$ aptitude show irssi | 04:40 |
| Gryllida | Segmentation fault | 04:40 |
| Gryllida | is there a way to get that info? | 04:40 |
| bigredradio | Gryllida, DOH! | 04:40 |
| Gryllida | ? | 04:40 |
| Mr_Sonoma | Zatcharius, classics never go out of style do they? | 04:41 |
| Zatcharius | Mr_Sonoma: Guess not lol | 04:41 |
| wgrant | Gryllida: That suggests that something very sinister is wrong. | 04:41 |
| blitzo | i'm back - can someone tell me how to get a tty on ubuntu? chvt does not work. ctrl-alt-fkey does not work. service gdm stop does not work. each time i get only a blank empty screen, and when i stopped gdm there was no console to return to so i had to hit the big red switch | 04:41 |
| wgrant | Gryllida: But try apt-cache rather than aptitude. | 04:41 |
| gwern | blitzo: are you certain the consoles are not there in the blank black screen? | 04:41 |
| Zatcharius | Anyone compile the new 2.6.35-rc5 kernel? | 04:41 |
| ^TERMINOLOGY^ | i have a ? what if you cant play a certin .mp4 in totem what can i do | 04:41 |
| blitzo | gwern what do you mean? | 04:42 |
| gwern | blitzo: just yesterday I was trying out 'radeon' for X, had similar problems, but discovered the consoles were there, just invisible | 04:42 |
| bigredradio | Zatcharius, haven't needed to compile a kernel in years. | 04:42 |
| gwern | blitzo: very carefully I typed in my login credentials, cd'd to /etc, and removed the xorg.conf using 'radeon' | 04:42 |
| blitzo | gwern what can i do to set screen color then | 04:42 |
| thune3 | bigredradio: i don't know of any top level way to set the band (doesn't mean there isn't one). However there might be a control available through iwpriv to set the band. | 04:42 |
| bigredradio | thune3, thanks. I'll check that. | 04:42 |
| gwern | blitzo: heck, I dunno. use a different video driver? this is just what happened to me, maybe you aren't using an ATI video card at all | 04:42 |
| blitzo | no, nvidia | 04:43 |
| Zatcharius | bigredradio: No? I had to twice recently. Today to fix WoW issue. | 04:43 |
| blitzo | gwern, i am using nvidia | 04:43 |
| Izinucs | Gryllida: what are you trying to do? run irssi in a screen session? | 04:43 |
| _genuser_ | hey guys using the livecd. the / shows mounted using aufs. is the / basically mounted in mem? | 04:43 |
| Gryllida | IDK, apt-cache worked, I started screen,wrote 'ps', it only lists 'bash' and 'ps' in the list, while 'screen' isn't there, how so? | 04:43 |
| blitzo | gwern and it works fine under xubuntu | 04:43 |
| gwern | blitzo: then my experience probably has little relevance to you | 04:43 |
| _genuser_ | rather using netbook edition from usb drive | 04:43 |
| Izinucs | Gryllida: type screen -ls | 04:43 |
| blitzo | gwern, how can i make it boot to a console and not start x? | 04:44 |
| bigredradio | Zatcharius, WoW? There's another problem I don't have. ;-) | 04:44 |
| Zatcharius | bigredradio: addiction.. :( | 04:44 |
| Gryllida | Izinucs: "there is a screen on <servername> (Multi, attached)" | 04:44 |
| gwern | blitzo: actually, I was told this later - in grub, you can press 'e' or something, and then append to the boot option a string like 'init=/bin/bash' | 04:44 |
| gwern | blitzo: I'm sure someone here knows what I'm talking about w/r/t grub kernel boot options | 04:44 |
| gwern | blitzo: and supposedly that will spit you straight into bash with no X or anytrhing | 04:45 |
| blitzo | ah ok i will google grub boot options | 04:45 |
| Izinucs | Gryllida: so you are *in* the screen session.. it looks just like a standard bash prompt.. now do you want to run irssi there? | 04:45 |
| rww | Gryllida: ps only shows processes in the current shell by default. Try ps -A | 04:45 |
| bigredradio | gwern, You prob don't want that | 04:45 |
| 15SAAJ1QV | what goes | 04:45 |
| bigredradio | gwern, You need to set your runlevel to 3 | 04:45 |
| Zatcharius | gwern: CAn't you just remove your login manager deamon from autoloading? | 04:46 |
| gwern | bigredradio: why not? it was X that was effed up, and if I had gone straight into bash, it would've been much easier to etc /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 04:46 |
| gwern | it's not very easy to edit text files blind... | 04:46 |
| wgrant | bigredradio: Runlevels have been irrelevant for a long time now. | 04:46 |
| bigredradio | gwern, init=/bin/bash means you will not run your normal init scripts meaning you might not have your root filesystem mounted. | 04:47 |
| bigredradio | gwern, especially since you have an initrf. | 04:47 |
| bigredradio | s/initrf/initrd/g | 04:47 |
| wgrant | bigredradio: The initramfs mounts the root filesystem. | 04:47 |
| Zatcharius | What's the preffered way in Ubuntu? Edit inittab? | 04:47 |
| gwern | bigredradio: couldn't I just mount / by hand? | 04:47 |
| wgrant | bigredradio: So by the time init= is run, things should be mounted. | 04:47 |
| wgrant | bigredradio: Because init=/bin/bash refers to /bin/bash.. on the root filesystem. | 04:48 |
| bigredradio | wgrant, umm, wouldn't that be the linuxrc or init inside the initramfs? | 04:48 |
| blitzo | anybody here know grub boot options? | 04:48 |
| blitzo | gwern: if i boot straight to shell, can you tell me how to enable the wifi from the command line? | 04:49 |
| gwern | blitzo: heck no | 04:49 |
| blitzo | can anyone tell me how to get a tyy console after booting? | 04:50 |
| * gwern blindly trusts in gnome to do that even in X. iwconfig et al scare me | 04:50 | |
| prince_jammys | blitzo: did you try any of the things i suggested? | 04:50 |
| Izinucs | blitzo: ctrl+alt+F1-6 | 04:50 |
| tensorpudding | you get plenty of ttys when you boot | 04:50 |
| gwern | Izinucs: he already tried those, he said | 04:50 |
| bigredradio | blitzo, ctrl-alt-bkspace and kill X. (Used to work) | 04:50 |
| Zatcharius | bigredradio: Xorg disabled that a while ago | 04:50 |
| Izinucs | gwern: ah.. | 04:51 |
| Spraynard | What problem was he experiencing? | 04:51 |
| Silent_Dream_ | Jordan_U: I have finished upgrading 10.04 from my livecd, now how do I manually configure grub? | 04:51 |

| prince_jammys | Zatcharius: no. ##linux is linux at the heart. this is #ubuntu. | 04:55 |

| Silent_Dream | Zatcharius: There are 3 choices, sda, which is windows, sda6 which is my linux partition, and another one is my flash drive obviously thats not the right one | 05:18 |

| sebsebseb | Sary: Ubuntu Open Week :) and then soon after the Ubuntu Developer Summit, and around that time they start work on the next version, however alpha 1 is very much like the stable version, same for alpha 2, alpha 3 is where things start to change more properly. and then the beta, release candidate, and final release | 06:15 |
| Sary | Every 6 month ! | 06:15 |
| sebsebseb | Sary: there are bugs, and as a newbie you shoudn't really, but you could test 10.10 now if you really wanted to, right now there woudn't be much point in doing so though, not untill alpha3/beta | 06:16 |

| Takeasy | GEdit right? | 06:26 |
| owner | Takeasy ya you know about the GnomeXP script right? | 06:26 |
| RProgrammer | Takeasy: yep. The great thing about ubuntu (or debian in general) is that you can install a bunch of apps, find which one you like, and remove the others without any grief | 06:26 |

| RProgrammer | owner: I was talking to mataks, but isn't there a power icon menu in the top right corner? What version/flavor of Ubuntu are you using? | 06:30 |
| RProgrammer | mataks: Block what exactly? | 06:30 |
| ChrisMorgan | At the start of the year, I installed Ubuntu 9.10 next to Vista, so it's dual boot. Now I'm wanting to kill the NTFS partition completely (never booted into it since and I want to enlarge my ext4 partition). | 06:30 |
| owner | RProgrammer your right it is in the upper right hand corner but that is anoying | 06:30 |
| mataks | RProgrammer, i want to block the site facebook from accessing it.. how? | 06:30 |
| owner | why can't it be like it always was before 9.10 | 06:30 |
| ChrisMorgan | But the NTFS partition (sda1) has the flag "boot" and the ext4 partition, sda5, doesn't, so I'm wondering if it's safe to kill the partition or if I would wreck it so it couldn't boot. | 06:30 |
| gwern | mataks: try googling /etc/hosts | 06:31 |
| gwern | mataks: if you can't figure it out for yourself | 06:31 |
| Nemesis | hello to all | 06:31 |
| Nemesis | i am new to linux | 06:31 |
| RProgrammer | owner: Try using the menu editor (ask someone for the actual command name, I can't remember, and I don't have a working system right now) | 06:31 |
| hiexpo | ChrisMorgan, it is best that you back up what you want to keep on an external drive an do a fresh install of ubuntu 9.10 > that is the best andproper way | 06:32 |
| imyousuf | Hi! | 06:32 |
| ChrisMorgan | (It's 10.04 now) | 06:32 |
| owner | RProgrammer I used the menu editor. It does not give the option to add it back | 06:32 |
| hiexpo | ChrisMorgan, well 10.04 if thats what you prefer | 06:32 |
| RProgrammer | mataks: You mean you want to stop programs on your system from going out and accessing facebook.com? | 06:32 |
| Nemesis | can someone tell me how to minimize the laggy GUI? | 06:32 |
| ChrisMorgan | hiexpo: why would I do it that way? That would just be troublesome. All I need is to make sure that grub will work properly. | 06:33 |
| imyousuf | I am using a ubuntu box as gateway to the internet on my LAN where there is around 10+ computer/devices connected. I want to be able to control how much bandwidth each computer is using, i.e. traffic shaping. Can someone please guide me on how to achieve it? | 06:33 |
| RProgrammer | Nemesis: There are a lot of ways, try googling for "ubuntu GUI performance" | 06:33 |
| hiexpo | ChrisMorgan, ok if thats the way you prefer | 06:33 |
| Nemesis | can be uninstalled videocard is the reason? | 06:34 |
| ChrisMorgan | I can't work out why I'd go for a clean installation at all... I have it all set up how I like it, it'd be troublesome having to get everything again. What reason do you have for recommending to do it that way, hiexpo? | 06:34 |
| RProgrammer | owner: Then I'm not sure there is a way without using gconf (which is analogous to the Windows registry) | 06:34 |
| Nemesis | i mean uninstalled videocard driver | 06:34 |
| hiexpo | ChrisMorgan, because it will be a train wreck trust me | 06:35 |
| Kurogane | any1 knows this error "Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console" ? | 06:35 |
| RProgrammer | Nemesis: Not using the video card would definitely slow down the GUI | 06:35 |
| mataks | RProgrammer, no, i want to stop accessing facebook from browser | 06:35 |
| RProgrammer | Nemesis: I'm kind of in the same boat at the moment, actually | 06:35 |
| ChrisMorgan | hiexpo: for what reason? I would have /thought/ that all it would be would be setting the flags and possibly reinstalling grub? | 06:35 |
| Nemesis | because i dont know how to install it | 06:36 |
| hiexpo | ChrisMorgan, your on dual boot right ? | 06:36 |
| ChrisMorgan | Currently, yes. Though I rather doubt that Vista would boot, I've ripped out its innards somewhat. | 06:36 |
| Nemesis | i am afraid to have an error installing drivers | 06:36 |
| RProgrammer | mataks: Right, you want to keep your browser from making outbound connections to facebook.com. The most common way to do that is with a hosts file block, though you should probably check if your particular browser has any preferred way of doing that first. | 06:36 |
| ChrisMorgan | And in gparted, it reports that the ntfs partition has the "boot" flag, while the ext4 partition doesn't. That's why I'm concerned. | 06:37 |
| illac | I'd suggest host file as well | 06:37 |
| hiexpo | ChrisMorgan, because vista is the controlling boot loader right now with your dual boot | 06:38 |
| joot | Can anyone please advise me on which satellite card to get working in Ubuntu? | 06:38 |
| ChrisMorgan | That's what I suspected. Would moving the boot flag from sda1 to sda5 do, do you think? | 06:38 |
| RProgrammer | Nemesis: Normally, I would say "you can always fix it", but with this issue I am having, the i915 module (driver for intel GMA cards) sometimes leaves the system in an unbootable state (without grub hacking) | 06:38 |
| Nemesis | is ati 9200 compatible for ubuntu? | 06:39 |

| Vig | terBot: There are a few ways, are you using Terminal, Synaptic Package manger or something like that? | 07:17 |
| ross__ | illac : i don't know it just lags | 07:17 |
| RProgrammer | Nemesis: The vast majority of video card drivers should work out-of-the box with Ubuntu, no install needed. I take it that's not your case, though. | 07:17 |
| terBot | Vig: I don't mind which ever | 07:17 |
| ross__ | illac : i used the top command to see what is using up the ram and 97% of the cpu is being utilized by the mozilla bin | 07:17 |
| kuttan | dom0 kernel anyone ? | 07:17 |
| terBot | Vig: with synaptic, it shows me only the version of the package that i got from a repository | 07:18 |
| illac | does it like hang when you maximize a window? like it stops responding for a few seconds then does what you want? | 07:18 |
| ross__ | illac : so how do you fix it? | 07:18 |
| terBot | Vig: however, i installed more recent versions via dpkg | 07:18 |
| terBot | Vig: so i don't think synaptic can help on this | 07:18 |
| illac | kill the process? | 07:18 |
| Vig | terBot: Here is the Debian page on that: http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/doc/debian/ch-dpkg.html | 07:18 |
| ross__ | illac : no i need to run the browsers lol | 07:18 |
| hiexpo | killall | 07:18 |
| illac | and start using Chrome ;) | 07:18 |
| ross__ | chrome? is that better? illac? | 07:19 |
| ross__ | let me try chrome | 07:19 |
| illac | I prefer it | 07:19 |
| terBot | Vig: thanks.. will have a look | 07:19 |
| hiexpo | !better | 07:19 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 07:19 |
| illac | Firefox is known for it's memory leaks | 07:19 |
| Vig | terBot: And yes, the GUIs may leave crud behind, CLI with dpkg is one of the surest ways. | 07:19 |
| ross__ | does anyone like to comment on the usage of chromium browser? | 07:20 |
| ubuntu | kuttan, it says: grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /. | 07:20 |
| thune3 | Stranger-2: maybe examine "udevadm trigger" command. I looks like it may do what you are asking. See udevadm man page. | 07:20 |

| ross__ | hiexpo : i don't know you tell me? | 07:21 |
| hiexpo | ross__, firefox | 07:21 |
| ross__ | hiexpo: ok | 07:21 |
| terBot | Vig: i fear that using the -r switch will remove all versions of the app | 07:21 |
| ross__ | hiexpo: so what does that mean? should I keep using firefox instead of chrome or no? | 07:21 |
| === thatjoshguy is now known as og420josh-inacti | ||
| terBot | Vig: are you aware if this is the case? | 07:21 |
| ross__ | hiexpo: perhaps another browser you'd like to recommend? | 07:22 |
| === og420josh-inacti is now known as og420josh-snooz | ||
| illac | you can run chromium as well, I think Chrome comes with some extra plugins or something regarding Flash... I don't recall the difference | 07:22 |
| terBot | Vig: I've got three versions.. and i actually wanna remove just one - the oldest | 07:22 |
| tensorpudding | Chrome supports h.264 and WebM, which I hear is lacking in Chromium. | 07:22 |
| Vig | terBot: No, read section 16.5, but also I always make a backup , just in case. | 07:22 |
| hiexpo | ross__, usually whatever comes with ubuntu is usually been tested and works best mostly | 07:22 |
| ross__ | hiexpo : yes that's what i thought but some reason firefox is causing my system to operate very slowly | 07:23 |
| illac | I knew it was something along those lines ;) | 07:23 |
| thune3 | ross__: firefox benefits from periodic restarting. Occasionally it can "get lost" and requires killing. I recommend adding system monitor to your panel so you can quickly see if cpu or memory are out of bounds. | 07:23 |
| hiexpo | ross__, do you have an add on creating issues | 07:23 |
| Vig | terBotL Often times it is cleaner to remove/purge all, then install/fetch the one that you wish, keeps the kernel cleaner also. | 07:23 |
| ross__ | thune3: system monitor? where would that be under? I think ih ave it | 07:23 |
| tensorpudding | I don't think Firefox supports h.264 at all, though it may support WebM. | 07:24 |
| illac | ross just give chrome a try, if you don't like it get rid of it, but I find it to be much more stable, a lot faster, and just all around better ... minus the bastardized windowing | 07:24 |
| ross__ | thune3 : yes i do | 07:24 |
| Vig | terBot: Ever tried BleachBit, Sweeper or Computer Janitor? | 07:25 |
| terBot | Vig: thanks... i'm in the middle of development.. and its a netbeans IDE that i'm trying to uninstall.. can't take chances now.. cos it might cost me some time.. to set everything back up.. will try later then | 07:25 |
| ross__ | can you tell me what is memory and swap history is under the system monitor? | 07:25 |
| terBot | Vig: not yet. . will have a look | 07:25 |

| ubottu | Tamnakz: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 08:09 |
| kazagistar | ok, I configured a vpn (running over the network interface tap0). how do I convince starcraft, running over wine, to send it's UDP networking data to that interface, instead of eth0? | 08:09 |
| kane77 | tripelb, thanks, I was trying f-spot but it crashed since there is lik 600k images :) | 08:09 |
| busfahrer | abhijit: There are a lot of updates available, I don't want to install them all. However, there is no update for "gwibber". Is the update in another package? | 08:09 |
| tripelb | kane77, no not fspot. picasa will find all the image on the hard-drive. google makes picasa | 08:09 |
| Jordan_U | Tamnakz: 8.04 will be supported much longer than 8.10 :) | 08:09 |
| kazagistar | or basically, how do I get a program to use a specific interface for networking | 08:09 |
| abhijit | busfahrer, you can manualy deselect the update you dont want. i dont know about any package. i just know only that | 08:10 |
| moosekaka | hi i am running dd-wrt firmware on my dlink router and on my ubuntu network manager when it connects via wireless to router, the signal strenght is shown maximum, but it cannot connect to internet (unable to resolve host) | 08:10 |
| Tamnakz | jordan_u if I knew ahead of time I would've waited/installed an older version. . . it was a must do situation though where ubuntu had to be used. . . wasn't the first option, but now it is! | 08:10 |
| AAA | KingGuru if you suspect network-manager as the issue do : $ service network-manager stop <-- and then try to bring up your iface manual, like $ ifconfig wlan0 up && dhclient3 wlan0 | 08:10 |
| === wildbat_laptop is now known as wildbat | ||
| AAA | KingGuru where wlan0 = the iface in question | 08:10 |
| tripelb | kane77, you're welcome - have fun with it. (BTW windows has a more advanced version of picasa for editing images. FYI | 08:10 |
| forrestv | is there a channel for ubuntu maintainers or discussing bugs? | 08:11 |
| kane77 | tripelb, I don't need editing just now to find those images would be fine for now.. :) | 08:11 |
| AAA | KingGuru to make a specific app, like mysql or apache use that IP, you'll need to edit the config for that daemon | 08:11 |
| Tamnakz | I'm just gonna have to give up on the iso for tonight :( | 08:11 |
| Tamnakz | thanks folks! | 08:11 |

| Tamnakz | illac no reason! VLC SHOULD play it. . . | 08:12 |
| Tamnakz | I knwo the same file was sent to two continents and three corners of the US without problem. . . | 08:12 |
| thune3 | tripelb: i just spend 5 minutes reading that thread, only to find that the problem was fixed :( and then you only asked "how do I fix monitor resolution with my Nvidia card?". | 08:12 |
| Tamnakz | brothers are in the military, send video back and forth. . . | 08:12 |
| Tamnakz | this is the first he sent as an ISO though, company dvd him and a few others whippedup | 08:12 |
| Tamnakz | I most likely hvae a bad file . . . I'm gonna start downloading it from his server again, should have the new file by morning | 08:13 |
| Jordan_U | Tamnakz: Actually, Desktop support for 8.10 has already ended... | 08:13 |
| AAA | Tamnakz does the md5sum match for both the downloaded file and the one on the web? | 08:13 |
| illac | Tamnakz: apparently mplayer can do it from cli | 08:13 |
| AAA | illac Tamnakz mplayer/mencoder does all! | 08:13 |
| Tamnakz | I've tried vlc, mplayer, smplayer, movie player and totem | 08:13 |
| Tamnakz | none work. . . | 08:14 |
| AAA | Tamnakz then you haven't compiled mplayer with all the foo | 08:14 |
| AAA | Tamnakz or your file is b0rk | 08:14 |

| Tamnakz | illac jordan_u thanks for the help! | 08:15 |

| illac | see if any errors pop out? | 08:15 |
| AAA | Tamnakz cool. make sure the md5sums match | 08:15 |
| Tamnakz | illac verbose? | 08:15 |
| tripelb | thune3, It was fixed. Then that computer had bad RAM. With the computer change came a different video card and hence the same problem, not having hte config file right. | 08:16 |
| neo-1209 | hi | 08:16 |

| illac | try that tamnakz, mplayer -v dvd.iso | 08:19 |
| illac | see if it gives an error? | 08:19 |
| thune3 | tripelb: if you aren't using proprietary drive, you don't need a config file. A) don't mark solved issues as unsolved because you have a *new* *unrelated* problem. B) don't point people in #ubuntu to an *irrelevant* thread. C) just state your new problem here as a new problem with the information you have. | 08:19 |
| AAA | Tamnakz extra v is good :) | 08:19 |
| === administrator is now known as Guest42139 | ||
| AAA | Tamnakz v == verbose FYI | 08:20 |
| tripelb | thune3, I didnt have a new unrelated problem. that was the same thing AND all the background was on that thread. | 08:20 |
| thune3 | tripelb: it's a NEW computer, how can it be related? | 08:20 |
| tripelb | thune3, with all respect. I see it differently. | 08:20 |
| illac | I just installed mplayer and grabbed a vid -v is indeed verbose, and should let you know the state of your file and if it's corrupt | 08:20 |
| tripelb | thune3, same hard drive. | 08:20 |
| thune3 | tripelb: if you didn't install proprietary drivers, just move the Xorg.conf to Xorg.conf.old, and reboot! | 08:21 |
| illac | Xorg.conf has often made my heart hurt | 08:22 |
| neo-1209 | hello? | 08:22 |
| AAA | illac not like XR11 crap... | 08:22 |
| illac | I just know when I break it I panic | 08:23 |
| tripelb | anyway thune3 I'll consider that criticism. The situation remains that I dont know how to get more resolution on this monitor. I dont have the standard (basically empty) config file (that I changed twice) and I dont know how to set the configuration. I dont understand "proprietary drivers" what's that? OK I'll remove that file and reboot. | 08:23 |
| AAA | illac pre xorg reference | 08:23 |
| tripelb | illac, re xorg.config -- thanks for the long view. When Grenache helped me I so wanted to understand it, not just be "given a solution | 08:24 |
| tripelb | " | 08:24 |
| illac | yea, I know the feeling, sadly whenever I have to mess with it I always manage to muck it up :_[ | 08:25 |
| neo | hey anyone there??? | 08:25 |
| * AAA is not sure what XR11 crap is but X11 crap was intended... | 08:26 | |
| illac | the solution he suggested of moving it and rebooting with give it a generic default conf if it doesn't find one if I'm not mistaken, just remember, before you edit it always cp xorg.conf xorg.con.notbrokenomfgwhatdidyoudo ;) | 08:26 |

| KindOne | what IRC program ? | 08:39 |
| seidos | MartyniP, xchat or irssi. though ver 2.8.6 of xchat appears to have a bug with favorites. | 08:39 |

| AAA | pch_i uname -a | 08:40 |

| Black_Phantom | k0sh suggest a better logo | 09:16 |

| iceroot | k0sh: use the ones from older version | 09:21 |
| Vig | k0sh: Or try Clearbooks, you can also use that GUI desktop thing to download new themes. or older themes. | 09:22 |

| iaindalton | because I've got a bunch of apps running etc. | 09:52 |
| illac | don't need to restart, just restart x using that command | 09:52 |

| sam898889 | I know ~ never buying a macbook again. ~~!! But i can hear the fan, it is working ok. but still gets hot! | 10:02 |
| ikonia | jorgen2412: it appears that does need a user in /etc/passwd | 10:02 |
| ikonia | jorgen2412: I suggest you create a user in the password file, give it no shell, or lock it with passwd -l, THEN use smbpasswd -a | 10:03 |

| DiRaOL | i think the installation of both systems performed ok, but my grub doesn't work, and i don't know how to fix it, i've tryied a lot of this (with live cd's and grub-rescue mode), but no results. | 10:25 |
| Niglop | how can i check if my system is SATA-based? | 10:25 |
| Taev | you have to install Ubuntu Server | 10:25 |
| Taev | to do software RAID | 10:25 |
| Taev | you'll have to install X after the install via apt-get | 10:25 |
| illac | iaindalton: still digging around google ;) | 10:25 |
| Taev | I have sort of the same set up | 10:25 |
| Jordan_U | DiRaOL: Fake RAID, software RAID, or real hardware RAID? | 10:25 |

| Jordan_U | Taev: What exactly isn't working about grub? | 10:26 |
| Taev | Nothing. | 10:26 |
| Taev | Its working fine | 10:26 |
| === einar_ is now known as einar | ||
| Taev | the simplest method to achieve what you want is to install Ubuntu Server | 10:27 |
| DiRaOL | Taev, i've used a raid (2 disks) with dual boot before (ubuntu 9.10) and haven't faced that much problems | 10:27 |
| Jordan_U | Taev: Sorry, I thought you were DiRaOL since your answer matched my question to him :) | 10:27 |
| Taev | it gives you the option to set up a software RAID | 10:27 |
| RaverWild | erUSUL, the problem was the CD was not working. now i put working CD and ubuntu automounted it and i can browse it | 10:27 |
| erUSUL | RaverWild: ok | 10:27 |
| Taev | Ubuntu Desktop for some dumb reason doesn't support software raid at install | 10:27 |
| Taev | I swear Ubuntu is becoming more and more the Nanny State O.S. | 10:27 |
| astrocub | !sendmail | 10:28 |
| astrocub | ubottu: sendmail | 10:28 |
| iceroot | Taev: of course ubuntu supports software-raid | 10:28 |
| Jordan_U | Taev: You chose to use the desktop installer. | 10:28 |
| iceroot | Taev: the alternate-cd | 10:28 |
| Taev | you have to use Ubuntu Server | 10:28 |
| iceroot | Taev: wrong | 10:28 |
| Jordan_U | !alternate | Taev | 10:28 |
| ubottu | Taev: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 10:28 |
| === bnnd is now known as _bnd_ | ||
| Taev | fine, the easier way is ubuntu server | 10:28 |
| === _bnd_ is now known as bnnd | ||
| Jordan_U | Taev: It's the exact same installer. | 10:29 |
| iceroot | Taev: stop telling lies please | 10:29 |
| Taev | it actually gives you the option for software raid during the partition set up | 10:29 |
| Taev | easier implies an OPINION | 10:29 |
| iceroot | Taev: same as alternate cd | 10:29 |
| iceroot | Taev: which is also having that option | 10:29 |
| DiRaOL | But i think i have already installed my Ubuntu and the W7, the problem is to fix the grub | 10:29 |
| Taev | strange when I wanted to set up a Dual boot RAID everyone here said I needed Ubuntu Server | 10:29 |
| Taev | whats wrong with grub? | 10:29 |
| iceroot | Taev: and i told you the alternate is doing the job | 10:30 |
| Taev | oh bull no one said a word about it | 10:30 |
| Taev | otherwise I wouldn't have bothered downloaded server | 10:30 |
| Taev | and having to install X via apt-get after the install | 10:30 |
| DiRaOL | i just doesn't work, when i boot my pc i "recieve" a "grub>" screen | 10:30 |
| Taev | are you sure the BIOS is set to boot the right drive? | 10:30 |
| Taev | where the MBR is | 10:31 |
| DiRaOL | yeap | 10:31 |
| oCean_ | !who | Taev | 10:31 |
| iceroot | Taev: that is not the fault of ubuntu if you are using the wrong cd, so dont flame ubuntu for things the user didnt know | 10:31 |
| ubottu | Taev: 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 :) | 10:31 |
| Taev | I wasn't flaming anything. I said that when I wanted to do software RAID no one mentioned using the alternative CD | 10:31 |
| iceroot | Taev | I swear Ubuntu is becoming more and more the Nanny State O.S. | 10:31 |
| Taev | so not being aware of that, my advice was technically correct | 10:31 |
| Taev | using server can do software raid | 10:32 |
| Taev | I said that because its my opinion | 10:32 |
| iceroot | !enter | Taev | 10:32 |
| ubottu | Taev: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 10:32 |
| ikonia | Taev: I suggest you re-install using the alternative CD | 10:32 |
| Taev | the whole "you can't log in as root, try sudo" thing is why I said that | 10:32 |
| iceroot | Taev: then use debian | 10:32 |
| Taev | instead of telling people they can do it by setting a root password via kuser | 10:32 |
| gaerrtyQ | Quit | 10:33 |
| Taev | you're the one making a big deal out of this. | 10:33 |
| iceroot | Taev: and kuser is the wrong way to enable the root-account | 10:33 |
| Taev | and yet it worked for me. | 10:33 |
| Jordan_U | DiRaOL: If you run "ls" in that shell does it list both your drives, and does it list the array (which would show up as a device like "(md0)"? I assume the former but not the latter. | 10:33 |
| nikolam | why while installing packages (with aptitude) my minesweeper game is goig to Halt? (press to resume..) ? | 10:33 |
| ikonia | Taev: it's clear you don't know what you're doing if you're setting a root password like that | 10:33 |
| eoke | Hi, I'm having a small problem with Ubuntu 10.04 x64 mdadm RAID1. When I boot the machine it boots into a busy box terminal saying the UUID was not found. I can correct this by running "mdadm --auto-detect" and the "exit" but I don't understand why the md devices are not getting detected automatically. | 10:33 |
| Taev | then please tell me the proper way to set a root password, since Ubuntu seems not to want you to. | 10:34 |
| ikonia | Taev: so please follow the ubuntu guidelines for support, which is not setting a root password and using the correct secuirty model such as sudo | 10:34 |
| iceroot | Taev: ikonia is right, so its not ok to flame ubuntu | 10:34 |
| ikonia | Taev: you don't | 10:34 |
| ikonia | Taev: that's why sudo is there | 10:34 |
| DiRaOL | Jordan_U: i'll reboot (i'm on LiveCD now) and see it. | 10:34 |
| ikonia | !sudo > Taev | 10:34 |
| ubottu | Taev, please see my private message | 10:34 |
| ikonia | !root > Taev | 10:34 |
| ikonia | Taev: check out those docs as to why the ubuntu security model works this way | 10:34 |
| rww | Taev: /msg ubottu !root | 10:35 |
| rww | eep | 10:35 |
| ikonia | Taev: you're welcome to override it, but it will limit the options for support | 10:35 |
| iceroot | Taev: there is no reason to have a root-account but if you want a root-account, see man passwd and learn to use sudo :) | 10:35 |
| Taev | or you can just set the root password with kuser. | 10:35 |
| Taev | it works. | 10:35 |
| Taev | whats the big deal | 10:35 |
| illac | iaindalton: give this a look http://www.mombu.com/gnu_linux/gentoo/t-dga-support-in-xorg-2973780.html | 10:35 |
| ikonia | Taev: then it's clear you don't know what you're doing. Lets stop dicussing this, you have the documents to know why ubuntu works this way | 10:35 |
| rww | So, on a related note, can I make irssi's command history (the thing you can scroll through with the up/down keys) per-window? | 10:36 |
| iceroot | Taev: the big deal is that 1. you should write your comments in 1 line, 2. kuser is a strange way to change a password, 3. you dont need root | 10:36 |
| Taev | My system has yet to implode from su'ing as root to do administrative tasks rather than sudo | 10:36 |
| ikonia | iceroot: he's got the doucmentation, lets drop it | 10:36 |
| ikonia | Taev: that's fine, you're welcome to do so, however we cannot support you fully as you've now broken the security model | 10:36 |
| rww | My favorite part of !root is how the page it links to has a section entitled "Enabling the root account" :) | 10:36 |
| wwsmurf | Why is kuser so strange? | 10:36 |
| illac | iaindalton: it's technically for vmware stuff, but it covers some of the steps of getting it setup and working | 10:36 |
| ManDay | What's the way to autorun a daemon on startup? Inittab? | 10:36 |
| DiRaOL | Jordan_U : typing ls returns me: (hd0), (hd0,8), (hd0,7) ... (Hd0,1), (hd127) (fd0) and an error on "fd0" | 10:36 |
| ikonia | Taev: so lets stop discussing it, you have the doucmentation to understand why root works that way on ubuntu | 10:36 |
| ManDay | What's the way to autorun a daemon on startup? Inittab? | 10:37 |
| iceroot | wwsmurf: passwd is the way | 10:37 |
| Taev | Thats where my Nanny State comment came from. I explained it and I get bombarded with docs on how NOT to get root use-ability, just sudo | 10:37 |
| iceroot | Taev: i told you how to get root the correct way | 10:37 |
| ikonia | Taev: yet it's clear you've not read them, I suggest you do | 10:37 |
| illac | sudo su | 10:37 |
| iceroot | ikonia: wrong | 10:37 |
| illac | ?? | 10:37 |
| iceroot | illac: wrong | 10:37 |
| Taev | So tell me. What will happen by doing administrative tasks from the terminal by su'ing in as root v.s. sudo | 10:38 |
| iceroot | illac: sudo su is setting the environment incorrect | 10:38 |
| bazhang | Taev, read the links given you please | 10:38 |
| iceroot | Taev: stop that know, remove ubuntu, use debian and be happy | 10:38 |
| illac | haha | 10:38 |
| Taev | I want to use Ubuntu with root functionality. | 10:38 |
| Taev | and I am. Whats the big deal. Drop it. | 10:38 |
| Jordan_U | DiRaOL: That (hd127) is odd. | 10:38 |
| iceroot | Taev: what about sudo -i ? | 10:38 |
| iceroot | Taev: i told you to read the manpages | 10:39 |
| Taev | what about su? | 10:39 |
| rww | iceroot: Fun fact: Debian's expert install mode offers to set up sudo and lock the root account. | 10:39 |
| DiRaOL | Jordan_U: it seems to be the CD-ROM | 10:39 |
| iceroot | rww: really? cool :) | 10:39 |
| DiRaOL | and the "fd0" is the "card-reader" | 10:39 |
| iceroot | Taev: i told you three times how to enable the root account so you can use su | 10:39 |
| illac | aww snap rww | 10:39 |
| rww | illac: as for you, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#Special%20notes%20on%20sudo%20and%20shells ;P | 10:40 |
| Jordan_U | DiRaOL: Most BIOSs don't expose the CDROM unless you're booted from it (not saying you're wrong, it's just interesting). | 10:40 |
| Taev | I already have enabled it. | 10:40 |
| iceroot | Taev: man passwd | 10:40 |
| Taev | or you can do kuser and set the password | 10:40 |
| Taev | either way works. | 10:40 |
| === joel is now known as Guest30046 | ||
| === Guest30046 is now known as t0ze | ||
| iceroot | Taev: and kuser is what? sounds like kerberos | 10:41 |
| iceroot | Taev: like kpasswd and so on | 10:41 |
| bazhang | iceroot, lets move on please | 10:41 |
| DiRaOL | Jordan_U: i'm on the "installation process" and i choosed to boot from CD-ROM (but there isn't any on the drive) | 10:41 |
| bazhang | Taev, any actual support questions? | 10:41 |
| iceroot | bazhang: no, i am asking what kuser is | 10:41 |
| rww | iceroot: KDE user configuration GUI | 10:41 |
| iceroot | rww: ah ok | 10:41 |
| Haakon-2000 | [#ubuntu] It's | 10:41 |
| Haakon-2000 | docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdeadmin/kuser/kuser.pdf | 10:41 |
| Taev | Kuser is a KDE application for managing users and groups | 10:41 |
| iceroot | Taev: though it was kerberos-stuff | 10:42 |
| Jordan_U | DiRaOL: I'm not sure what you mean by "installation process". | 10:42 |
| Taev | No bazhang I came to help assist people if they had a question. | 10:42 |
| ikonia | I'm not going to say this again. Taev if you suggest using kuser to set the root password again, you will be removed from the channel | 10:42 |
| t0ze | Hello people, i'm going to buy a pc, and i wanna know which is the better graphic card for ubuntu. if ati or nvidea ubuntu grafics works better in which one ? tks | 10:43 |
| Haakon-2000 | ikonia: Why is kuser bad for doing this? | 10:43 |
| iceroot | Haakon-2000: enabling root is bad | 10:43 |
| Taev | I'm not the one that keeps bringing it up Ikonia. | 10:43 |
| ikonia | Haakon-2000: setting the root password is not something that's recommended or supported | 10:43 |
| iceroot | Haakon-2000: there is not a single reason to have a root-account | 10:43 |
| DiRaOL | Jordan_U: i've started installing SOs on this specific new computer 3am (GMT-3), and now it's almost 7am and i haven't finished yet. rs if i need to use a live cd i don't need to go to the bios setup to change the boot or something like that | 10:43 |
| Jordan_U | t0ze: You might want to consider buying Ubuntu pre-installed from companies like System76 or Dell. | 10:43 |
| Taev | whats the Ubuntu support like for netbooks? | 10:44 |
| Haakon-2000 | iceroot: That's not the issue here, the issue is: "If you're going to enable root, why not use Kuser?", not "Should I enable root?". | 10:44 |
| Taev | I've been thinking of getting one. | 10:44 |
| ikonia | Taev: good | 10:44 |
| Haakon-2000 | Taev: Netbooks are better than everything else, more or less. | 10:44 |
| illac | rww: say sudo su is similiar to sudo -i ... what's the diff? | 10:44 |
| finemann | hi, i am looking for a software that can manage my e-book collection (mostly in pdf and djvu). The main feature i want is downloading tags from sites like amazon.com. I've already tried out calibre, is there some other application that'll help me? | 10:44 |
| illac | rww: says* | 10:44 |
| ikonia | illac: it's nothing like it | 10:44 |
| bassliner | using x applications to manage users on a unix box is retarded. no matter if it's a kde or gnome application. | 10:44 |
| Taev | Haakon-2000, its because the current philosophy is that you shouldn't be able to log in as root | 10:44 |
| iceroot | illac: sudo su is wrong, because its setting the environment not correct | 10:44 |
| Taev | you should apparently use sudo | 10:45 |
| rww | illac: actually, it says it's similar to 'sudo su -' | 10:45 |
| illac | rww: didn't see the - :/ | 10:45 |
| Haakon-2000 | Taev: Sure, but... Why is Kuser worse than sudo passwd root? | 10:45 |
| Taev | I can't say or I'll be banned. | 10:45 |
| t0ze | yeah, i would like to. but in my country there is no dell or system 76 | 10:45 |
| Haakon-2000 | Forgot about that. | 10:45 |
| Taev | ask some one else. | 10:45 |
| Haakon-2000 | Sorry.. :( | 10:45 |
| t0ze | your experiencia... nvidea work better than ati, true? | 10:46 |
| t0ze | experience* | 10:46 |
| Haakon-2000 | t0ze: Basically: nVidia have very good proprietary drivers, and ATi is getting there. | 10:46 |
| iceroot | t0ze: the driver from nvidia is better at the moment | 10:46 |
| Taev | the ATI proprietary drivers finally worked for me in 10.04 | 10:46 |
| Taev | they didn't work so well in 8.04 | 10:46 |
| t0ze | nice !! tks people | 10:47 |
| Misterio | t0ze: nVidia is more interested in free software than ATI | 10:47 |
| wwsmurf | I don't know. I think ACLs and stuff are in the Unix standard, so a GUI tool might be appropriate somewhere in the Unix World. | 10:47 |
| Taev | I can finally play stuff like Billiard-GL. Before it was almost unplayable | 10:47 |
| t0ze | ubuntu FTW ! so as Nvidea XD | 10:47 |
| Taev | Anyone here ever heard of "Nubuntu" ? | 10:47 |
| t0ze | happy week-end | 10:47 |
| Jordan_U | t0ze: Have you actually checked that System76 doesn't ship to your country? It's not a well known name outside Linux enthusiasts so it may ship there even if you haven't heard of it. | 10:47 |
| DiRaOL | ops, damm wireless reconnected... | 10:47 |
| nikolam | Taev, wow, what graphics card do you use and what version of proprietary ATI/AMD driver youinstalled on 10.04? | 10:47 |
| Taev | I have an ATI Raedon 4200, and I'm not sure which particular driver set is installed. That P.C. is currently running Windows XP I was playing Mass Effect. | 10:48 |
| bassliner | did anyone manage to automate the partition manager stuff in ubuntu's install using a preseed file with pxeboot? | 10:48 |
| rww | Jordan_U: System76 only ships within the USA and Canada | 10:48 |
| nikolam | Misterio, laso Nvidia have even open/solaris drivers etc, amd/ati do not at all | 10:49 |
| Jordan_U | rww: Thanks. | 10:49 |
| Haakon-2000 | Nobody use Solaris for desktops ANYWAY, so that might be the reason? | 10:49 |
| nikolam | Taev, i have x1250/690G chipset and since now, only 8.04 lts and till 8.10 were supported with closed driver | 10:49 |
| Haakon-2000 | Besides, he's using Ubuntu, and should choose from the current cards that do support that. | 10:49 |
| Taev | Im just saying that the ATI Proprietary drivers for my ATI Raedon X1600 and 4200 HD under 8.04 never worked properly | 10:50 |
| Taev | they do under 10.04 | 10:50 |
| illac | why do people like system76 so much, can get better prices on laptops with better specs... I don't get it. | 10:50 |
| nikolam | Haakon-2000, well, I do use opensolaris as desktop, on notebook, anyway. And yes, graphics drivers are important, Past desktop use. | 10:50 |
| === MichealH_ is now known as MichealH | ||
| Haakon-2000 | Mind you the new 460 series from nVidia seems pretty fantastic. | 10:50 |
| Taev | I installed Solaris 7 a few times just for the heck of it. | 10:50 |
| Taev | Can't say I liked C.D.E. much. | 10:50 |
| ikonia | Taev: that is offtopic here | 10:50 |
| oCean_ | Taev: this is not really a discussion channel, as you are aware? | 10:51 |
| nikolam | yes Amd/ati drive did never used to work on my ubuntu during supported period. it was horrible half of the time | 10:51 |
| Misterio | Haakon-2000: I have GeForce 5500 FX, and works perfectly | 10:51 |
| iaindalton | illac: I read your link about DGA and VMWare, and AFAIK, my system meets all three requirements for DGA support | 10:51 |
| otswim | hi, i have a big problem with my mandriva computer: it has been shut off with the power button, and now i don't have access to X server; when it boots, i can only type ctrl+alt+F2 to get the command line; then if i type 'startx' it says "cannot open log file /var/log/Xorg.0.log"; could please someone help me? if i type 'ls /var/log/Xorg.0.log' it says that ls cannot access to this file because there is some kind of problem in the system file | 10:51 |
| Taev | Yeah, running any Open GL application was terrible with the default drivers. | 10:51 |
| bazhang | otswim, is ubuntu in that picture somewhere? or just mandriva | 10:51 |
| iaindalton | otswim: never say "some kind of problem", give us what it says | 10:52 |
| Jordan_U | DiRaOL: If you need to be able to boot the system soon and without much work Super GRUB2 Disk may help. | 10:52 |
| oCean_ | Taev: really, drop it | 10:52 |
| Haakon-2000 | otswim: Basically, we're not Mandriva support, and also, it's rather difficult to give any help if you don't post the error message. | 10:52 |
| Taev | maybe the file is locked otswim | 10:52 |
| DiRaOL | Jordan_U: how does that work?! | 10:52 |
| Taev | or the permissions have changed | 10:52 |
| bazhang | otswim, #mandriva not here | 10:52 |
| nikolam | yeah, I think I will switch to Nvidia with new gr. card. Haakon-2000 | 10:53 |
| otswim | ok going there; i didn't post the exact error message because it's not in english | 10:53 |
| Taev | try cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 10:53 |
| Taev | see if it will read it | 10:53 |
| Haakon-2000 | otswim: Good luck, and if the message isn't in English, I suggest translating it and making a note that it is translated. | 10:53 |
| Jordan_U | DiRaOL: It's GRUB2 on a CD and auto detects OS's / loads your current grub.cfg. If nothing else it's usefull because you can debug things with the full shell rather than being stuck at rescue shell. | 10:53 |
| stanley_robertso | hi all | 10:54 |
| Haakon-2000 | Jordan_U: BASH or CSH? | 10:54 |
| wwsmurf | :) | 10:54 |
| Taev | where do you get Super GRUB2 Disk? | 10:54 |
| otswim | Taev: i get "Failure access to the NFS file" (translated) | 10:54 |
| Jordan_U | Taev: http://prdownload.berlios.de/supergrub/super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso | 10:55 |
| Haakon-2000 | Taev: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/index.php?pid=5 | 10:55 |
| DiRaOL | Jordan_U: it would be much diferrent from booting with the liveCD? (hum... i can use a PenDrive for that Super GRUB.....) | 10:55 |
| Taev | Is that folder on the local machine or on a NFS server? | 10:55 |
| Taev | thank you. | 10:55 |
| bazhang | otswim, this is mandriva? | 10:55 |
| otswim | bazhang: yes i'm getting help of #mandriva as well | 10:55 |
| Jordan_U | Haakon-2000: It's grub's own shell, which is powerfull but nowhere near bash or csh. Though a full lua shell is also available. | 10:56 |
| otswim | Taev: it should be local | 10:56 |
| iceroot | otswim: this is ubuntu-support | 10:56 |
| Taev | well then why would he be getting a NFS error? | 10:56 |
| bazhang | otswim, keep it in there please it has nothing to with Ubuntu | 10:56 |
| Haakon-2000 | Jordan_U: Oh, I thought you suddenly had Grub 2 running a full BASH shell, which would have been seven shades of fantastic. | 10:56 |
| otswim | Taev: don't know | 10:56 |
| Taev | well thats why I asked him to clarify. | 10:56 |
| stanley_robertso | hey all .. what is this super grub2 disk ? | 10:56 |
| nio | hello all | 10:56 |
| Haakon-2000 | Then again, GRUB would suddenly emerge as a new kernel, and then you would finally have a full GNU system. | 10:57 |
| oCean_ | Taev: please you a nickname when talking to someone in particular | 10:57 |
| Taev | Ok oCean_ Gotcha. | 10:57 |
| Haakon-2000 | (Because Hurd is not ready yet, it's slated for release the week after Duke Nukem Forever=. | 10:57 |

| DiRaOL | Jordan_U: do you think i can reinstall my grub with justa a liveCD? | 10:58 |
| purestrain | hi; i've made a small script which tunes powernowd and configured the same values in /etc/default/powernowd but after a reboot there seems to be a different configuration used | 10:58 |
| nio | ok | 10:58 |
| Jordan_U | DiRaOL: Yes, http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide | 10:59 |

| ubottu | nio: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 11:00 |
| iceroot | nio: you will never get a new major release from apt-get with the normal ubuntu-repos | 11:00 |
| iceroot | nio: ignore the upgrade-text from Jordan_U | 11:01 |
| Taev | you can change the software repositories it looks through | 11:01 |
| Jordan_U | iceroot: Why? | 11:01 |
| iceroot | !backports | nio | 11:01 |
| ubottu | nio: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 11:01 |
| nio | iceroot then what is the correct procedure | 11:01 |
| iceroot | Jordan_U: because its the wrong answer to upgrade a single package | 11:01 |
| Jordan_U | iceroot: Never mind, I thought "rdesktop" was a typo and he wanted the next Ubuntu Desktop | 11:01 |
| iceroot | Jordan_U: rdesktop is something like vnc (easily spoken) | 11:02 |
| icqn | what gnome application is launched then alt-f2 is pressed? | 11:02 |
| nio | rdesktop is an application to connect to window terminal server | 11:02 |
| nio | iceroot what is the correct procedure to upgrade this rdesktop application remmember it not only req dependencies such as samba alsa cups xorg and fuse | 11:03 |
| erUSUL | !backports | nio | 11:03 |

| RossTaylor | test test can you hear me? | 11:04 |
| erUSUL | !hardy | 11:04 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. | 11:04 |
| erUSUL | RossTaylor: yes | 11:04 |
| Taev | Yes RossTaylor | 11:04 |
| erUSUL | !ask | RossTaylor | 11:04 |
| ubottu | RossTaylor: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 11:04 |
| Taev | I read you 5x5 | 11:04 |
| iceroot | Taev: april 2011 for desktop | 11:04 |
| iceroot | Taev: april 2013 for server | 11:04 |
| RossTaylor | graci | 11:04 |
| Taev | So whats the safest way to upgrade? I've tried updating through Adept before on test systems but it hosed it. | 11:05 |
| Jordan_U | DiRaOL: I just realized, since "ls" in the grub shell only listed one hard drive that means that your BIOS can't read one of the drives that makes up the array. With RAID0 that's fatal. | 11:05 |
| RossTaylor | does anyone know if it's possible to get connected to the internet without having an ISP provider | 11:05 |
| iceroot | !upgrade | Taev | 11:05 |
| ubottu | Taev: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 11:05 |

| DiRaOL | Jordan_U: actually the "ls" shows me the partitions of my RAID | 11:06 |
| RossTaylor | egyparadox: i understand but i just thought some smart people here might know and i don't know where else to ask | 11:06 |
| Jordan_U | RossTaylor: ISP stands for Internet Service Provider, so while the provider may be starbucks wifi one is required by definition to connect to the internet. | 11:06 |
| erUSUL | RossTaylor: no; one way or the other you are using an ISP ( even if it is one you did not have a contract with like when using an open wifi network or some such ) | 11:06 |
| Taev | ISP stands for Internet Service Provider, hence they Provide your Internet Service | 11:06 |
| icqn | what gnome application is launched then alt-f2 is pressed? | 11:07 |
| RossTaylor | erusul : that's what i thought | 11:07 |
| Taev | if you have a Wifi card you could piggyback on some ones signal if they allow you to. | 11:07 |
| RossTaylor | i know what it stands for | 11:07 |
| Taev | do you have a WiFi NIC? | 11:07 |

| Jordan_U | DiRaOL: A side effect of raid0 striping is that one disk will have the sector containing the partition table, so it will look like the final array with fdisk -l and other tools only looking at the partitions, while the other drive will seem unformated or broken to tools that don't understand raid. | 11:08 |
| Taev | well as I said RossTaylor if you have a Wifi Nic you could log on using some one elses Wireless signal IF they give you permission, i.e. the password. | 11:08 |
| Taev | Don't know if that helps you out. | 11:08 |

| Jordan_U | DiRaOL: Are both drives connected via the same type of interface (i.e. both sata or both USB)? | 11:09 |
| Taev | I was trying to answer his question. | 11:09 |
| iceroot | Taev: dont discuss, we told you this is a channel for ubuntu-technical support some times | 11:09 |
| RossTaylor | taev: thank you, i still didn't think it could be done, i was thinking of worst case scenario when all ISPs go down, how can I get connected but thank you | 11:09 |
| erUSUL | icqn: i do not think is a stand alone app... it may be part of the panel or the window manager | 11:10 |
| Taev | I can't answer your technical support question apparently. | 11:10 |
| DiRaOL | all drives (4) have the same spec and are connected on the sata ports | 11:10 |
| oCean_ | Taev: also: you want to help other people, right? Then Please, start a line with the nick of the person you are talking to. | 11:10 |

| DiRaOL | Jordan_U: i don't think there is any problem with the Array, one hour ago i had installed the Win7 on this array and it was all ok..... | 11:12 |
| Fudge | who here develops for firefox | 11:12 |
| Taev | DiRaOL, are you sure Win7 didn't try and put itself on the MBR? | 11:12 |

| sweb | hello, why my numkeys dose not work ? | 11:13 |
| DiRaOL | Jordan_U: hum, strange, i've booted the liveCD went to the terminal and typed: "sudo fdisk -l" and recieved: "It was not possible to perform a search on /dev/sda" | 11:13 |
| iceroot | sweb: enabled with the numlock-key? | 11:13 |
| Fudge | iceroot ok | 11:13 |
| DiRaOL | Taev: Yes, it had, but i've installed the Ubuntu after the Windows | 11:13 |
| Fudge | doesnt mean that there wouldnt be ff devs in here | 11:13 |
| sweb | iceroot, where ? | 11:13 |
| ikonia | Fudge: there are not, firefox developers contact details are listed on firefox's website | 11:13 |
| iceroot | sweb: on the keyboard :) | 11:13 |
| oCean_ | Fudge: correct, but that would be offtopic for this channel | 11:13 |
| Taev | DiRaOL, so you set up the RAID after you installed Win7, when you installed Ubuntu? | 11:14 |
| ifancho | what is the difference between fsck and e2fsck ? is the second one just for ext2 ? | 11:14 |
| sweb | iceroot, numlock huh, of course are you kidding with me ? | 11:14 |
| Fudge | woh normally this place is a bit less tense, bbl | 11:14 |
| Taev | DiRaOL, have you ever successfully booted Ubuntu with the RAID array? | 11:14 |
| iceroot | !numlock | sweb | 11:14 |
| ubottu | sweb: To enable Number Lock by default, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NumLock | 11:14 |

| Kwpolska | how can I make my ubuntu upstreamish? | 11:14 |
| ikonia | Kwpolska: what ? | 11:14 |
| MaRk-I | RossTaylor: nvm go to #ubuntu-offtopic | 11:14 |
| dsh1911 | i love ubuntu! | 11:15 |
| ifancho | what is the difference between fsck and e2fsck ? is the second one just for ext2 ? | 11:15 |
| erUSUL | ifancho: yes; fsck is the generic name. there is fsck.jfs e2fsck fsck.xfs etc ... | 11:15 |
| Taev | Now that I think of it. Is there a way I can set Ubuntu up to run a few simple commands upon boot so I don't have to manually enter them everytime I have to reboot. | 11:15 |
| Jordan_U | ifancho: fsck detects the filesystem type and calls fsck.foo | 11:15 |
| ifancho | a ok | 11:15 |
| Taev | Simple stuff like launching tightvnc, and memcached | 11:15 |
| ifancho | can use while mounted right ? | 11:15 |
| Jordan_U | ifancho: *NO* | 11:16 |
| erUSUL | Taev: /etc/rc.local for system wide things ; | 11:16 |
| ifancho | i got the no init found = bootarg | 11:16 |
| DiRaOL | Taev: No....... (Step 1) SetUp the RAID (Step 2) Ubuntu 9.10 LiveCD and partitioned the HD (Step 3) Sucefully Install of W7 (Step 4) Install Ubuntu 10.04 (with LiveCD) .... On the end of the Ubuntu Installation the GRUB couldn't be installed, and this is my problem | 11:16 |
| iceroot | !autostart | Taev | 11:16 |
| ubottu | Taev: 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 | 11:16 |
| Jordan_U | ifancho: Using fsck on a mounted ext2,3,4 partition will cause serious damage (though it will warn you of that if you try) | 11:17 |
| Sia- | Any apps to download website completlly? | 11:17 |
| iceroot | sweb: wget | 11:17 |
| ifancho | i used a livecd the run fsck , i was just wondering to run it one more time just in case | 11:17 |
| iceroot | Sia-: wget | 11:17 |
| nio | is it safe to use the backport application | 11:17 |
| iceroot | nio: yes | 11:17 |
| Taev | DiRaOL, simple suggestion, have you tried re-installing? | 11:17 |
| Sia- | ice799, no little better than wget something with GUI | 11:17 |
| iceroot | nio: they are official tested and get security updates | 11:17 |
| Sia- | iceroot, ^^ | 11:18 |
| Taev | Perhaps there was an error copying over and installing the grub package | 11:18 |
| iceroot | Sia-: kwget or gwget i guess | 11:18 |
| erUSUL | Sia-: wget ? httrack ? curl ? | 11:18 |
| oCean_ | nio: iceroot the one from the link i sent is a suggested backport, not in backports repositories yet | 11:18 |
| DiRaOL | I've read on many sites that there is a problem with Ubuntu 10.04 and RAIDs, during the install process | 11:18 |
| Sia- | erUSUL, exactlly httrack , thnx | 11:18 |
| Taev | what do I add to /etc/rc.local the command? tightvncserver -basehttpport 8083 :1 | 11:18 |
| Taev | or do I have to add anything special, or tell it what run level to execute at? | 11:19 |
| nio | ocean that was the good link but it was for amd 64 i need it for i386 | 11:19 |
| Sia- | Taev, /etc/rc.local to let apps start with the system start | 11:19 |
| Jordan_U | DiRaOL: Usually with software raid, especially if you want to boot from it, you should have each drive partitioned and make an array out of those partitions rather than creating an array out of the drives then partitioning the array. | 11:19 |
| sweb | iceroot, i think my keyboard have a problem, by unplug and plug again my problem is solve | 11:19 |
| nio | how did you find this bug i am confused with this site | 11:19 |
| sweb | iceroot, thank | 11:19 |
| iceroot | DiRaOL: think about that grub is not running on the raid | 11:19 |
| Taev | Yes I get that. What I'm asking is do I just add "tightvncserver -basehttpport 8083 :1" to the file? or do I need to do anything special like flags or anything | 11:19 |
| ikonia | Taev: best to use absoulte paths | 11:19 |
| oCean_ | nio: yeah, might take a little effort to get used to launchpad.. | 11:20 |
| erUSUL | Jordan_U: well he is using fakeraid if win7 can use it too ( 4 drives raid 0 fakeraid o.0!!! ) | 11:20 |
| Jordan_U | Taev: No flags needed, rc.local is the last script run at boot, and is a normal shell script. | 11:20 |
| Taev | so just add /usr/bin/tightvncserver -basehttpport 8083 :1 to /etc/rc.local ? thats it | 11:20 |
| Taev | Ok. Thanks | 11:20 |
| Sia- | Taev, /etc/init.d/mysql stop for example | 11:20 |
| erUSUL | Taev: also; those tightvncserver -basehttpport 8083 :1 need the x window system to have started ? the user session ? | 11:20 |
| Taev | saves me the trouble of executing everything manually, especially my eggdrop bot say if my PC crashes or something. | 11:21 |
| oCean_ | nio: when the suggested deb moves to -backports repos, I expect an i386 also. But it's not there yet. | 11:21 |
| DiRaOL | erUSUL: That's what i tought too, if it worked on windows, why not ubuntu also?! rs | 11:21 |
| Jordan_U | erUSUL: He said he was using software raid when I asked, but I think you're right. | 11:21 |

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 11:22 |
| DiRaOL | iceroot: in theory my grub is installed on the first partition of the raid, in a ext2 partition. but something went wrong | 11:22 |
| Jordan_U | DiRaOL: Are you doing any raid setup in your BIOS? Did your BIOS/mobo claim to support RAID? | 11:23 |
| Destructo | hey hey all. ive read and read, and read . my dell mini keeps giving me 'disk is being used outside design parameters' is there a way to fix this or is it simply a bug .. | 11:23 |
| Taev | can I add commands I need executed as root to /etc/rc.local ? | 11:23 |
| ikonia | Taev: yup | 11:23 |
| iceroot | DiRaOL: its a bug | 11:23 |
| iceroot | Destructo: its a bug | 11:23 |
| Jordan_U | Destructo: Just a stab in the dark but it may be talking about alignment issues. | 11:23 |
| DiRaOL | Jordan_U: Yeap, that's the way i'm doing. On the BIOS Setup i've marked "RAID" to my sata HDs and then entered on the RAID Setup of the BIOS to set the RAID | 11:24 |
| Taev | do I have to do anything special for a command that has to be run as root? I want my FTP Server to start up automatically with my specific flags | 11:24 |
| iceroot | Destructo: normally coming up with ssd drives and wakeup from standby | 11:24 |
| dd__ | anybody know why I wouldn't be able to get a tty? ctl-alt-fkey does not work and neither dose chvt | 11:24 |
| nio | oCean there is no search tab please give me some direction how i can request if not requested yet | 11:24 |
| Jordan_U | DiRaOL: For future reference that's reffered to as "Fake RAID" | 11:24 |
| DiRaOL | Jordan_U: Ok, sorry.. | 11:24 |
| erUSUL | DiRaOL: (bios) fakeraids are designed for windows users ... haqve you followed the instructions here ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 11:25 |
| Jordan_U | DiRaOL: Real software RAID is much easier to deal with, and is superior in almost all ways except windows support. | 11:25 |
| cyrylm | hi, what is the best method for executing a privileged command while being logged as a user without administrative privileges (granted that my account has such privileges)? | 11:25 |
| Taev | does /etc/rc.local just run everything as root? | 11:25 |
| erUSUL | DiRaOL: looks like you have to make a few tricks to make the installer install grub2 correctly ( see 9.10 method ) | 11:25 |
| erUSUL | Taev: yes | 11:25 |
| ikonia | Taev: it's involved by root | 11:25 |
| ikonia | "invoked" sorry | 11:26 |
| Taev | ah, i don't know if I want my eggdrop bot invoked by root | 11:26 |
| imaginativeone | when I try to access my Downloads folder, the File Windows just shuts down. How do I fix that? | 11:26 |
| Taev | for security reasons | 11:26 |
| ikonia | Taev: then you specify that not to be run as root | 11:26 |
| Taev | how do i specify that? | 11:26 |
| ikonia | su -c for example | 11:26 |
| ikonia | or use sudo | 11:26 |
| Taev | so add "su -c | /home/whatever/eggdrop/eggdrop -n eggdrop.conf ? | 11:27 |
| ikonia | not | | 11:27 |
| Taev | put the su -c on the line above the command to follow? | 11:27 |
| ikonia | Taev: no, su -c $user /home/eggdrop/blah | 11:28 |
| Destructo | iceroot its on all the time. after reboot, start-up. but the thing is also is i cant update/upgrade, because it says disk is full | 11:28 |
| Taev | replace $user with $djs ? | 11:28 |
| ikonia | Taev: with the username, it's explained in the man page | 11:28 |
| Taev | ok | 11:28 |
| Taev | ty | 11:28 |
| iceroot | Destructo: and is the disc full? (df -h will tell you) | 11:28 |
| Jordan_U | ikonia: Doesn't the username need to come before the -c ? | 11:28 |
| Kwpolska | how can I make my ubuntu looking upstream? | 11:28 |
| ikonia | Jordan_U: maybem thats why I said check the man page | 11:29 |
| iceroot | Kwpolska: what? | 11:29 |
| DiRaOL | erUSUL: I haven't seen that page, i'll try to reinstall my ubuntu. Come back in some minutes | 11:29 |
| ikonia | Kwpolska: what do you mean ? (I asked you before) | 11:29 |
| Stranger-2 | Hello erUSUL thnx for last dayś great tip about the driver unbinding. | 11:30 |
| Kwpolska | ikonia: restore all look/panels/etc to the panels from upstream gnome | 11:30 |
| erUSUL | Stranger-2: no problem; worked? | 11:30 |
| Stranger-2 | But now I am facing a new problem, | 11:30 |
| ikonia | Kwpolska: upstream gnome ??? | 11:30 |
| ikonia | Kwpolska: you'd need to update the software (the whole of gnome) to the latest version of gnome | 11:31 |
| Wale | Hi (: | 11:31 |
| Stranger-2 | erUSUL, yeah. It works very well. The device for which I am doing this is "HP t100 thin client" | 11:31 |
| Kwpolska | ikonia: you retard | 11:31 |
| Destructo | iceroot is says 97% .. i dont remember having filled this up.i giues the initial install took it all. only 121 left | 11:32 |
| erUSUL | Stranger-2: what is the new problem ? | 11:32 |
| iceroot | Destructo: 97% what? used or free? and which? / ? | 11:32 |
| Stranger-2 | when I unmapped the device, the mouse and keyboard attached to this device is get replicated on those devices which are connected, just after device in question | 11:32 |
| Destructo | iceroot sorry 97% used | 11:33 |
| erUSUL | Destructo: maybe somthing is spamming the logs ? do « sudo apt-get clean » then check /var/log/ size « sudo su -hs /var/log/ » | 11:33 |
| iceroot | Destructo: sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get clean is freeing some space normally | 11:33 |
| iceroot | Destructo: also have a look with sudo du -sh on / | 11:34 |
| erUSUL | Stranger-2: sorry; did not fully undertood? when you unbind the device the mouse an keyboard get "reallocated" to another one ? | 11:34 |
| rainbow2 | i have a harddisk error message that is spamming the logs extremely frequently. how can i stop the messages with a command? this slows down everything :( | 11:35 |
| iceroot | rainbow2: maybe the better solution is to repair the problem or buy a new harddrive instead of disabling logging | 11:35 |
| rainbow2 | i wonder what is the cause - the sender of the messages? i dont use the drive. dont access it. | 11:36 |
| rainbow2 | iceroot: the drive is fine. ata crashes sometimes. | 11:36 |
| iceroot | rainbow2: i dont know, i have not seen the logs | 11:36 |
| Stranger-2 | erUSUL, Yes. mouse and keyboard get replicated. | 11:36 |
| amanthakur | can anyone tell how much time it takes to compile a kernel?? i am going to compile it right now????? | 11:37 |
| iceroot | amanthakur: depening on the hardware | 11:37 |
| ifancho | how can i check the drive for errors while mounted ? | 11:37 |
| ikonia | amanthakur: custom kernels are not supported here | 11:37 |
| erUSUL | amanthakur: depends on you machine and in the config you use | 11:37 |
| dsh1911 | can someone please explain to me how to compile a kernel? | 11:37 |
| ikonia | ifancho: you don't | 11:37 |
| Taev | I added 3 commands to /etc/rc.local , of which tightvnc and eggdrop failed completely, pure-ftpd did start but it ignored my flags to tell it to start on port 8082 | 11:37 |
| erUSUL | !kernel | dsh1911 | 11:37 |
| ubottu | dsh1911: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 11:37 |
| Destructo | iceroot apt-get autoremove ... clearedabout 42mb | 11:37 |
| masteroffire | hi | 11:37 |
| rainbow2 | some process is repeatedly accessing the drive. the sectors iterate and start over again. end_request: I/O error, dev sdd, sector 67 | 11:38 |
| ifancho | so i cant relocate the bad sectors somehow | 11:38 |
| Destructo | when i try to update says diskisfull.. so it may actually be full | 11:38 |
| erUSUL | Taev: pur-ftp should have its own init script in /etc/init.d/ or use inetd | 11:38 |
| dsh1911 | ubottu - thanks buddy | 11:38 |
| iceroot | Destructo: and sudo apt-get clean is cleaning the cahce. every package you installed is saved as deb in /var/cache/apt/ | 11:38 |
| Taev | ok, then why did tightvnc and eggdrop fail to start completely? | 11:38 |
| amanthakur | iceroot, erUSUL, i am having a core 2 duo 2.93 ghz processor with 1 gb of RAM | 11:38 |
| bloopletech | I'm trying to share my internet connection from my mobile broadband connection to my wireless connection to another computer | 11:38 |
| rainbow2 | i suspect some gnome process to access it. what is gvfsd for? | 11:39 |
| amanthakur | iceroot, erUSUL, i just wanted a approximate time | 11:39 |
| bloopletech | And I'm having trouble getting it to work | 11:39 |
| Stranger-2 | erUSUL, Suppose, I have 3 devices ( each having mouse and keyboard ). When I unbind and then again bind the device 2, mouse and keyboard of device 2 do not work, but mouse and keyboard of device 3 works on device 2 as well. ( Like replica ) | 11:39 |
| erUSUL | amanthakur: dun between 15-20 min ( disk speed is a factor) if you use the cores ( make -j5 or -j6 ) | 11:39 |

| amanthakur | erUSUL, what will those options do? | 11:39 |
| bloopletech | I've gone through that - it doesn't seem to cover my scenario | 11:40 |
| masteroffire | I have some problem getting an ATI Radeon X1600 to work... System is 10.04, Updates are installed. I also installed xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd - but it seems like that it is not used. The graphics performance is very bad, even if I disable all desktop effects | 11:40 |
| bloopletech | And firestarter refuses to work | 11:40 |
| erUSUL | Stranger-2: o.0!! that's beyond my understanding of kernels input subsystem sorry | 11:40 |
| ifancho | can i relocate the bad sectors somehow ? | 11:40 |
| erUSUL | amanthakur: use 5 or 6 compile threaths | 11:40 |
| amanthakur | erUSUL, ok buddy thanks for the info | 11:41 |
| rainbow2 | how can i locate which process is trying to access a raw drive which is not mounted ? | 11:41 |
| masteroffire | I also can't switch the drivers because there is no xorg.conf present | 11:41 |
| Stranger-2 | erUSUL, ok. no prob. thnx | 11:41 |
| bloopletech | Firestarter was originally complaining that wlan0 wasn't active, so I tried creating a (ad-hoc) wireless connection ... then it was saying it couldn't start because of an unknown error | 11:41 |
| bloopletech | masteroffire, have you checked the X wiki to make sure the open source drivers support your card? | 11:41 |
| erUSUL | ifancho: see the e2fsck man page... i think that passing -cc toi it will check for badblocks ... but double check docs to not loose data | 11:41 |
| masteroffire | the card is supported by the radeonhd drivers | 11:42 |
| masteroffire | I can't use fglrx because AMD moved the X1600 to "Legacy" (yay... about 3 years old... thanks AMD) | 11:42 |

| blitzo | cutiyar, if you are asking this so you can embed it in a script to where there isn't a console to type in the "yes", then you use a -y option. if you are doing this from the command line then just try it see what happens | 11:55 |

| Dr_Willis | xdpirate: yes. there are tools to resize them to very large sizes | 12:46 |

| Dr_Willis | Skullsoldier: you sure you dont mean hd0,0 ? hd1, would be the 2nd hard dive | 12:46 |
| lana | oke aeon-ltd | 12:46 |
| xdpirate | Dr_Willis, thanks, I can just use fdisk or gparted to partition though | 12:46 |
| lana | Dr_Willis, am have join on chennel | 12:47 |
| xdpirate | Dr_Willis, I was just wondering because the pendrivelinux tool only listed 1gb, 2gb and 4gb partition | 12:47 |
| xdpirate | +s | 12:47 |
| Dr_Willis | xdpirate: i saw a guide once.. you used dd and 'appended' empty space to the end of the save file. and then some how expanded the filesystem with some other command. it did not use fparted or fdisk. | 12:47 |
| gnomefreak | ubuverify: please keep this for Ubuntu support. if you or anyone else needs freenode support join #freenode | 12:47 |
| aeon-ltd | sam898889: use google, 100s of guides depending on the model of your mac | 12:47 |

| coachz | can i use bzip2 to zip multiple files and dirs in one go ? http://codepad.org/SVmIgHqe | 12:57 |
| karthee | coachz: no .. bzip2 does zip only files .. | 12:57 |
| kampa_11 | Dr_Willis: ok. tank you! | 12:58 |
| coachz | is this doc wrong? http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/getting-started-guide/s1-managing-compressing-archiving.html | 12:58 |
| coachz | says: You can use bzip2 to compress multiple files and directories at the same time by listing them with a space between each one: | 12:58 |
| sam-c | join #ubuntu+1 | 12:58 |
| karthee | coachz: if you are zipping a directory use the -j option .. which does use the bzip2 algorithm .. | 12:58 |
| coachz | i'm trying to zip 2 files and 2 dirs at once | 12:58 |
| mujianto | hai | 12:58 |
| NightKhaos | coachz: you can add them to a tar before hand, then bzip that.. | 12:58 |
| Dr_Willis | One normally makes a 'tar.bzip' archive .. | 12:59 |
| slow-motion | hi | 12:59 |
| coachz | so that redhat doc is clearly wrong | 12:59 |
| coachz | what's the easiest way to do this please and get a lot of compression | 12:59 |
| oCean_ | coachz: no need to complain about redhat doc in #ubuntu ... | 12:59 |
| mujianto | why if i shutdown is not automatic shutdown? | 12:59 |
| airtonix | mujianto, because it's manual ? | 13:00 |
| airtonix | just a thought | 13:00 |
| coachz | is there a better way other than tar then bzip2 ? | 13:00 |
| mujianto | no, i must press shutdown on hardware | 13:01 |
| Dr_Willis | coachz: it depends on your needs. tar.bz2 works quite well for most needs | 13:01 |
| AcehDev | hai | 13:01 |
| AcehDev | :) | 13:01 |
| AcehDev | love | 13:01 |
| DiRaOL | Hey everyone, i'm back. | 13:01 |
| oCean_ | coachz: we would need details on what you are trying to do | 13:01 |
| coachz | ok, can i do it in one line ? so i can tar two files and two dirs and then bzip2 them | 13:01 |
| karthee | coachz: lzma is better than bzip2 | 13:02 |
| coachz | oCean_, sorry, i have 2 files and 2 dirs i'm trying to zip up tiny and move | 13:02 |
| coachz | lzma .....more compression ? | 13:02 |
| karthee | coachz: yes .. | 13:02 |
| coachz | my hosted server doesn't appear to have lzma | 13:02 |
| Dr_Willis | It will also depend on the type of file coachz you can only compress things so much | 13:02 |
| coachz | you run lzma rught ? | 13:02 |

| karthee | coachz: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/06/lzma-better-compression-than-bzip2-on-unix-linux/ | 13:03 |
| coachz | tar bzip should be fine, i just don't know how to do it on one line | 13:03 |
| oCean_ | coachz: tar archive.tar file1 file2 directory1/* directory2/* would make archive.tar of those files/directories specified. Use bzip2 archive.tar to compress the .tar to .tar.bz2 | 13:03 |
| Skullsoldier | Dr_willis i trying to get setup hd0 but error text is Error 11: Unrecognized device string | 13:04 |

| DiRaOL | i was following the "fakeRaid" tuto from ubuntu site, but i got an error that there isn't anything like this on the site. There it tolds me to choose the "/dev/mapper/pdc_uhwefu" as the place that i should choose to install the GRUB. I've made it, but on 93% of the instalation i recived this message: "The execution of "grub-install /dev/sda" has failed Any idea?! | 13:04 |

| ManDay | Is there a generic driver for 3d mice in ubuntu. Situation: A 3dmouse provides RAW data from USB with udev. GIMP can hook with that and enables it as a "Linux Input"-Device in its settings where everything can be well configured. Apparently, GIMP is capable of reading that device (which is a HID compliant device) troubleless - CAN THIS BE DONE FOR X? | 13:04 |
| Dr_Willis | Skullsoldier: see what ls -l /dev/cdrom says | 13:04 |
| oCean_ | coachz: add "j" to the tar options | 13:05 |
| karthee | coachz: ll this make you happy .. find /path/to/the/folder/ -name \* -type f | xargs bzip2 | 13:06 |
| coachz | if i'm doing it on one line don't i have to pipe the tar output into bunzip2 ? | 13:06 |
| coachz | karthee, i don't need find | 13:06 |
| oCean_ | coachz: no the "j" option does that for you, see "man tar" | 13:06 |
| coachz | i know the names of the two files and two folders | 13:06 |
| karthee | coachz: find /path/to/the/folder/ -name \* -type f | xargs bzip2 .. this would do it in a single line as you wanted .. But as oCean_ and I mentioned -j option will use bzip algorithm to compress .. | 13:07 |

| oCean_ | karthee: there is no need for him to use find, since he knows what to archive | 13:08 |
| karthee | coachz: ok .. sorry .. | 13:08 |

| ahren | Dr_Willis, i just want the install iso to be able to boot on a usb | 13:24 |
| Dr_Willis | ahren: that may take some work with XP. | 13:25 |
| ahren | oh ok so i have to uninstall the vbox from the repos first? | 13:25 |
| karthee | ahren: use unetbootin | 13:25 |
| ahren | ok i will say again i have tried unetbootin 5 times and it does not work | 13:25 |
| Dr_Willis | karthee: unetbootin does NOT work with an windowsxp.iso | 13:25 |

| yessir_turan | Hi.. I'm on nfs.., using ubuntu.. The locate indexing process cannot look into my directory beause I don't permit it to, even root cannot, unless he su's into me. Now my question is.. is there a way I can create a local locate database that will index my files and will let me search them... | 13:33 |
| yessir_turan | locate beacuse I'm command line guy.. | 13:33 |

| Alan502 | ubuverify, i think that is not related to ubuntu, normally you would change those form the router's administration tool | 13:36 |
| yessir_turan | Other details: I'm on Ubuntu 10.04.. | 13:36 |
| Dr_Willis | yessir_turan: locate has a feature for 'user' created database/searches I think. check its docs | 13:38 |
| hocine21 | Hello | 13:39 |
| ubuverify | the router and the AP are two diffrent setups...the AP (wusb54g) is os controlled via drivers...rt2500usb, currently transmitting at 1Mb/s it can go as high as 54Mb/s but is not consistent | 13:40 |
| Dr_Willis | yessir_turan: use updatedb to make a personal database.. (see its man pages, for an exzmple) | 13:40 |
| Dr_Willis | yessir_turan: then tell locate to use that database | 13:40 |

| soadkombucha | Ganymede: Do you have ACPI enabled or disabled? Because I know from experience most power management settings don't work as well with ACPI off | 14:28 |
| silv3r_m00n | hi there | 14:28 |
| lcuk | Ganymede, old fashioned way - using a stethoscope http://www.doctors.ly/forums/signaturepics/sigpic23822_1.gif | 14:28 |
| maltini | Hello! Whether somebody is saying here in Polish? :> | 14:28 |
| mernilio | Ganymede: good thinking. Maybe gkrellm has a plugin for checking it.. i dont know | 14:28 |

| silv3r_m00n | on this LAN there are 5 computers and all in dhcp mode , isn't is possible to give each computer a name , so that when accessing each other from browser , it can be like http://somename/ rather than http://192.168.0.101/ ? | 14:29 |
| oCean_ | silv3r_m00n: have your computers register (dynamically) in dns | 14:30 |

| silv3r_m00n | oCean_: means ? | 14:30 |
| oCean_ | silv3r_m00n: computer names are registered in a dns. | 14:31 |
| Ganymede | soadkombucha: i do appear to kacpid and acpid running, if that's what you're asking | 14:31 |
| silv3r_m00n | oCean_: I mean how to do it ? | 14:31 |
| oCean_ | !dns | silv3r_m00n | 14:31 |
| ubottu | silv3r_m00n: To set up a Domain Name Service see the !serverguide - https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/dns.html | 14:31 |
| lvh_ | hey | 14:31 |
| silv3r_m00n | the router is allocating each computer its ip , so the dns service has to run on the router I guess ? | 14:31 |
| lvh_ | how can i convince network manager (the networking applet) to do trunking | 14:31 |
| FrankLv | How can I change to run level 3 at boot time, add 3 to kernel= line seem not work | 14:31 |
| oCean_ | silv3r_m00n: it might be a bit overkill for only 5 machines | 14:31 |
| lvh_ | my desktop has two ethernet cards, my switch understands trunks | 14:31 |
| oCean_ | silv3r_m00n: if the machines were to use static ip' | 14:31 |
| soadkombucha | I thought Ubuntu 10 didn't use runlevels? | 14:32 |
| oCean_ | silv3r_m00n: then you could use /etc/hosts file | 14:32 |
| comag | hi. i'm unable to kill a process with "kill -9 <pid>". is there any other way to kill a process? | 14:32 |

| Ganymede | silv3r_m00n: if they're all ubuntu or osx machines, you can access them with <computername>.local thanks to zeroconf/bonjour/avahi, on windows machines, it may or may not work depending on version and installed software | 14:32 |
| silv3r_m00n | Ganymede: 3 are ubuntu 5 are windows | 14:33 |
| Ganymede | silv3r_m00n: try ping computername.local and see if it resolves the IP properly, replacing "computername" with the actual host name | 14:33 |
| FrankLv | Also I can find /etc/inittab, I should boot into single mode and "telinit 3"? | 14:33 |
| silv3r_m00n | and all in dhcp mode | 14:33 |
| Ganymede | silv3r_m00n: zeroconf should work regardless of if the machine gets its IP via DHCP or not | 14:33 |
| FrankLv | Let me try it out. | 14:34 |
| oCean_ | !runlevel | FrankLv | 14:34 |
| ubottu | FrankLv: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 14:34 |
| silv3r_m00n | Ganymede: hmmm , zeroconf , so what's its equivalent for windows ? | 14:34 |
| ubuverify | how do i browse a windows network from ubuntu? | 14:34 |
| silv3r_m00n | by the way how do I configure zeroconf ? | 14:35 |
| blitzo | ocean_ earlier i posted that i can't get a tty and you asked if anything is running on those ttys. the answer is yes, they all have a getty. | 14:35 |
| lcuk | oCean_, why stop | 14:36 |
| lcuk | if you want to KNOW something is happening - sometimes old fashioned ways work best | 14:36 |
| lcuk | ie, use the ears you were born with and know for sure | 14:36 |
| oCean_ | blitzo: yes, and I answered <blitzo>: in that case, I have no idea why you cannot access them. | 14:36 |
| Ganymede | silv3r_m00n: in windows xp, it was provided by apple's bonjour software, i don't know about windows vista and 7, it might have it built in. on linux, the software is called avahi-daemon and on osx, it's called bonjour | 14:36 |
| silv3r_m00n | ok , I installed avahi-daemon | 14:37 |
| ubuverify | how do i determine which is the connection primarily used by ubuntu 10.4? | 14:37 |
| blitzo | ocean_ i have posted about it on ubuntuforum.org and gotten little response - do you have any suggestions where to get help? do i need to join a developer list? | 14:38 |
| karthee | hi .. sed -n '3,/regex/p' .. does print from 3rd line till the regex match .. How do i print 5 linex after regex match ?? either in sed / awk ?? | 14:38 |
| oCean_ | blitzo: I guess this is the right place. Just re-post your issue (cannot access ttys, even getty processes are running for all ttys) every now and then. There are people joining/parting all the time. Maybe repeat after 30 minutes or so. | 14:40 |
| Ganymede | silv3r_m00n: for ubuntu desktop, it should work out of the box for recent versions, and for windows, i could never figure out how to get it to work...i just install adobe creative suite and that installs bonjour automatically i think | 14:40 |
| silv3r_m00n | is there are good vnc client I can install from synaptic ? | 14:40 |
| FrankLv | ubottu: Thanks | 14:40 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 14:40 |
| blitzo | ocean_ i even made a script to write on the ttys and nothing appeared | 14:40 |
| ulfbr | with the new version of ubuntu I have problems with kaffeine it does not display tv. | 14:40 |
| silv3r_m00n | amazing , it was already working | 14:41 |
| Ganymede | silv3r_m00n: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToZeroconf | 14:41 |
| Ganymede | silv3r_m00n: vinagre is the vnc client that is usually installed by default in ubuntu desktop | 14:41 |
| silv3r_m00n | how do I change my computer name ? | 14:41 |
| red2kic | !hostname | silv3r_m00n | 14:41 |
| ubottu | silv3r_m00n: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 14:41 |
| Ganymede | silv3r_m00n: i usually edit the file /etc/hostname and reboot, but there are probably better ways | 14:41 |
| ubuverify | !wifi | 14:42 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 14:42 |
| silv3r_m00n | ah cool , so simple | 14:42 |
| Ganymede | silv3r_m00n: yeah, as ubottu said, edit /etc/hosts also to reflect the change | 14:42 |
| Ganymede | silv3r_m00n: you can probably get away with not rebooting if you restart avahi-daemon and syslog and a few other daemons that remember your hostname | 14:43 |
| silv3r_m00n | ok avahi is ok on ubuntu , now for the windows machine | 14:44 |
| silv3r_m00n | where can I download bonjour | 14:45 |
| red2kic | silv3r_m00n: See ##windows for support with Windows. ;o) | 14:45 |
| silv3r_m00n | oh ok | 14:45 |

| trojan_spike | ubuntu home page gfather ,, you'd learn all about linux | 15:01 |
| gfather | trojan_spike: are you sure | 15:01 |
| coz_ | skumara, compiz --replace and what you could do instead is install fusion-icon and start it with fusion-icon | 15:01 |
| Oins | an where can i find my start-stop-deamon process. a px aux (as root) does not show my that process | 15:01 |
| erUSUL | ubuverify: it depends... with an open wifi ( no wep or wpa) « sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid YUOR_SSID » followed by « sudo dhclient wlan0 » can be enough | 15:01 |
| trojan_spike | yea gfather , go to the forums etc,, search for what your looking | 15:01 |
| Oins | s/an/and | 15:01 |
| coz_ | skumara, also if you use fusion icon go to system/preferences/appearance//visual effects and tick "none" then run fusion-icon in alt+F2 | 15:01 |
| blitzo | gfather you need a lot of general unix knowledge, all that's special about ubuntu is specific packages and package manager | 15:02 |

| donkykong | erUSUL, Thanks...but I don't know the package name. | 15:08 |
| Dr_Willis | blitzo: instsll the gnome-art tool and use it to look for it. I find those warnings are often just over zelous. if the them looks good to you.. then use it. | 15:08 |
| coz_ | mikebot, if you are installing sun java ..open synaptic and uninstall icedtead and the openjava stuff | 15:08 |
| erUSUL | donkykong: is "firefox" | 15:08 |
| donkykong | erUSUL, what is it's name? firefox? | 15:08 |
| donkykong | erUSUL, Thanks so much. | 15:09 |
| Dr_Willis | blitzo: thats proberly refering to the 'reduce gtk+ engine' that may be in the repos. or may not | 15:09 |
| erUSUL | no problem | 15:09 |
| coz_ | mikebot, my suggestion is to get rid of open java altogether ... I find sun java more reliable << my opinion | 15:09 |
| mikebot | coz_: Do I need sunjava? I just want this applet on one site to work. Not sure what I need. | 15:09 |
| mikebot | coz_: OK, thanks | 15:09 |
| Dr_Willis | mikebot: what site? | 15:09 |
| mikebot | coz_: So I just have to remove icedtea and openjava? | 15:09 |
| coz_ | mikebot, well and install sun-java6-plugin and it will pull down all you need | 15:10 |
| mikebot | Dr_Willis: http://introgame.playcatan.com/ | 15:10 |

| coz_ | mikebot, yes you need sun java for that site | 15:10 |
| blitzo | coz_ the latest version of sun java renders fonts badly while openjdk does an excellent job | 15:10 |
| donkykong | erUSUL, Ohh, now it's white.:) | 15:10 |
| erUSUL | donkykong: :) | 15:11 |
| coz_ | blitzo, but opne java sucks for most sites and you can install sun java6 fonts as well | 15:11 |
| Dr_Willis | mikebot: that site seems to be working with the icetea java here.. its a little slow to load. | 15:11 |
| mikebot | coz_: OK, so I remove those two things and install sun all in the package manager? | 15:11 |
| coz_ | mikebot, open synaptic and hit "search" and type in icedtea | 15:11 |
| Dr_Willis | mikebot: its working with the 'icetea' java. | 15:11 |
| blitzo | coz_ what is the sun java browser plugin called? | 15:12 |
| coz_ | mikebot, every thing listed when that comes up that is already installed << uninstall it | 15:12 |
| erUSUL | blitzo: sun-java6-plugin | 15:12 |
| blitzo | coz_ i thought icedtea6 was openjdk | 15:12 |
| coz_ | mikebot, then make sure the partner repository is enabled and search for sun java | 15:12 |
| mikebot | Dr_Willis: My chrome says "Missing Plug-in" | 15:12 |
| coz_ | mikebot, then install sun -java6-plugin and it will pull down all you need | 15:12 |
| mikebot | coz_: Yikes, OK, thanks. | 15:12 |
| coz_ | blitzo, it is called sun-java6-plugin | 15:13 |

| mikebot | Wait, before I do all of this, is there a way to check if I'm just missing the browser plug=in for icedtea and openjava which is why it isn't loading? | 15:15 |
| coz_ | skumara, make sure the disk is not defetive as well..if it is the live cd ...when it starts choose check cd option | 15:15 |
| hdpb | My desktop won't boot or shutdown properly with an active Nvidia card. | 15:15 |

| coz_ | skumara, or if downloading a new cd I would suggest the mininal cd and go from there but also check the md5sum on whichever cd you download | 15:16 |
| blitzo | mikebot icedtea6 is the browser plugin - you can open firefox and type "about:plugins" and it will tell you everything it knows about | 15:16 |

| blitzo | coz_ what do you want to know out of settings | 15:25 |
| coz_ | blitzo, ok you will be better off with the weekly repository or manually installing from bzr then | 15:25 |
| skumara | karthee i checked hardware drivers. there are two driver both say nvidia accelerated graphic drivers. one is recommended and one is version 173. | 15:25 |
| coz_ | blitzo, it should tell you which driver is in use | 15:25 |

| mikebot | coz_: Yeah, and I get an error message that states "Could not download all repository indexes" | 15:27 |
| coz_ | blitzo, you probably should have installed the nvidia_curren driver but that driver should be fine | 15:27 |
| coz_ | mikebot, mmm | 15:27 |
| mikebot | coz_: But I don't see the partner one on that list | 15:27 |
| coz_ | mikebot, close synaptic open a terminal sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 15:27 |
| skumara | IdleOne i already activate the recommended one. | 15:27 |
| blitzo | coz_ that driver installed itswelf when i turned on video special effects | 15:27 |

| skumara | ok guys. thanks. i will come back if problem persist. | 15:28 |
| blitzo | coz_ and those effects work just fine so far as i can tell - what cairo dock does it works fine when it first starts up but i have it set to autohide and afeter awhile i can't find it anymore | 15:29 |
| coz_ | blitzo, ok meet me in #cairo-dock so we can get you the weekly repository | 15:29 |

| coz_ | mikebot, mm that's odd ...are you in the US? | 15:30 |
| mikebot | ccozYes | 15:30 |
| coz_ | mikebot, mm not sure why it failed with download | 15:31 |
| Dr_Willis | soadkombucha: i dont think doing that from linux will be a trivial task. or at least it will need some learning on your part. The linux box has NEVER been connected to that network right? | 15:31 |
| coz_ | mikebot, could be the server is busy let me try that here hold on | 15:31 |
| mikebot | coz_: OK, thanks a lot for helping me btw | 15:31 |

| anirvana | aeon-ltd : yes | 15:35 |

| fayad | thanks violinappren:) | 15:36 |

| fayad | ahh great violinappren, thnx | 15:38 |
| fayad | that is not a cable issue | 15:39 |
| donkykong | soadkombucha, I tried, and downloaded the updates. | 15:39 |
| donkykong | soadkombucha, But I don't want canonicals custome firefox... | 15:39 |
| aeon-ltd | anirvana: so you havehn't changed any rules of the firewall? | 15:39 |
| fayad | cause i tried with another one, pc to pc..and it doesn't even ping | 15:39 |
| soadkombucha | donkykong: Then try it that way | 15:39 |
| soadkombucha | donkykong: The PPAs are generally reliable, yes | 15:39 |

| soadkombucha | donkykong: I use a bunch of PPAs | 15:39 |
| donkykong | soadkombucha, I want the official version with no addons...and the latest version of thunderbird too. | 15:39 |

| donkykong | soadkombucha, Not the one in ubuntu software center. | 15:39 |
| fayad | what is the driver that works for you violinappren? | 15:40 |
| violinappren | fayad: the same driver. do you get any errors in dmesg? | 15:40 |
| soadkombucha | donkykong: Then install it from the PPA | 15:40 |
| soadkombucha | donkykong: The PPA version should supercede the canonical version, even in update manager | 15:40 |
| donkykong | soadkombucha, Ok. | 15:40 |
| donkykong | soadkombucha, Thanks | 15:40 |
| soadkombucha | Not a problem | 15:40 |

| Traveler8 | if i reset a pc in the middle of an install of an upgrade..will it be rendered useless? | 15:49 |
| rautamiekka | Traveler8: The whole idea of upgrading from one Ubuntu version to next is kind of broken, meaning you're best off to do a clean installation. Be warned that 10.04 is really broken system, a hard failure. | 15:49 |
| aeon-ltd | anirvana: more likely server problems since it isn't consistent | 15:49 |
| lvh | violinappren: no, tried in both directions (pairing from phone and from laptop) | 15:49 |

| coz_ | blitzo, so is the dock working better now??? | 15:50 |
| Traveler8 | top ps aux?? | 15:51 |
| rautamiekka | Traveler8: He meant to execute either "top" or "ps aux" | 15:51 |

| hdpb | it doesn't seem to be detecting my onboard sound card | 15:54 |
| Traveler8 | next question: how can i set my wifi txpower beyond 100mw? | 15:54 |
| violinappren | simon6: i think you are better off booting a Live CD and getting the data off the drive from there | 15:54 |
| monkey_dust | guys (and dolls) -- how can i enable wifi, using the bash command line? -- hints & tips anyone? | 15:54 |
| simon6 | violinappren - alright :) thanks for your help. How do i shut down from recovery menu? | 15:55 |
| erUSUL | monkey_dust: "enable wifi" is? install driver? connec to some ap? what? | 15:55 |
| rautamiekka | Traveler8: Unless the mW value is lower than max, it shouldn't be possible to force it higher than max but don't take my word on it. | 15:55 |
| blitzo | monkey_dust there was a discussion of that just a min ago, you do it with iwconfig | 15:55 |
| Traveler8 | raut, yea i get an error if i try to set it even 1mw higher then 100 i'm guessing it doesnt support it | 15:55 |
| violinappren | simon6: type halt at shell | 15:56 |
| blitzo | traveler8 i thot 100mw was max legal limit | 15:56 |
| greezmunkey | hdpb: look through /var/log/dmesg then - you should find an indication of it there. | 15:56 |
| erUSUL | Traveler8: there are legal limits by country too | 15:56 |
| lvh | violinappren: hey guess what i found a bug! | 15:56 |
| Traveler8 | oh crap...i didnt even consider legalities.. | 15:56 |
| lvh | violinappren: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-bluetooth/+bug/478294 | 15:57 |
| violinappren | monkey_dust: nmcli | 15:57 |
| lvh | violinappren: apparently it's a regression | 15:57 |
| Traveler8 | so even if hw supported higher txpower..the software(ubuntu) won't allow it..it's just not programmed to? | 15:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Traveler8: i think that may be part of the wireless cards firmware/driver binary driver pacakges also. | 15:58 |
| === wai is now known as avidya | ||
| erUSUL | Traveler8: it is programmed to respect legal limits where aplicable | 15:58 |
| rautamiekka | Traveler8: Yeah, it depends on the country what is allowed. There's a program named "wireless-tools" which claims to support setting specific TX power, try that. | 15:58 |
| greezmunkey | Traveler8: so if you succeed in making you wifi ap extend, say 200 meters but your clients only reach out 100 meters, what have you gained? | 15:58 |
| lvh | violinappren: confirmed! installed blueman and everything wokrs | 15:58 |
| violinappren | lvh: that was reported last November, strange | 15:58 |
| coz_ | blitzo, ok .. I have to break here ...I will be back in about an hour | 15:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Better placement of wireless antannas and so forth. :) can help a lot. | 15:59 |
| Traveler8 | better signal strength within that 100 meters | 15:59 |
| === avidya is now known as wai | ||
| Traveler8 | xD | 15:59 |
| rautamiekka | Exactly. | 15:59 |
| greezmunkey | Traveler8: what I'm saying is that your ap is only as good as your client(s). That's all. | 16:00 |
| === wai is now known as avidya | ||
| Traveler8 | yea i'm thinking about doing a pringles antenne on the router itself...i have a coffe can lined with aluminum now, it's almost at peak signal on the ap | 16:00 |

| rayvtirx | i have vsftpd and am using a script to block ips that fail login repeatedly , ive managed to lock myself out of my own server ftp wise , ive used iptables -F but my i am still blocked can anyone take a quick look at this little script and tell me how it blocks my ip | 16:01 |

| rayvtirx | and the same for chain output policy | 16:08 |
| lvh | violinappren: Yes; that box has not been updated in *ages* | 16:08 |
| ikonia | rayvtirx: stop iptables and do an iptables -X then restart it | 16:08 |
| blitzo | greezmunkey you can do simply "md5sum /dev/sr0" | 16:09 |
| fayad | violinappren: but do you think a mismatched driver could cause this issue? is that why you asked me for the chipset number? | 16:09 |
| rayvtirx | how do i stop iptables | 16:09 |
| lvh | violinappren: in fact I'm not even sure anymore if it's even gnome-bluetooth or blueman; let me go get it out (it's a tiny laptop I only use for traveling) | 16:09 |
| ikonia | rayvtirx: /etc/init.d/iptables stop | 16:09 |
| greezmunkey | blitzo: that's the one. Thanks. | 16:09 |
| blitzo | prolly faster to use dd but set your bs to at least 1M | 16:10 |

My speakers are on and connected to the computer and to make sure it wasn't just the speakers i tried my headphones and they dont work either. Please Help! | 16:10 |
| ikonia | rayvtirx: ughh, I've not got an ubuntu box to hand to get the init script, look in /etc/init.d | 16:10 |
| violinappren | lvh: blueman is a separate app, doesn't integrate with network manager | 16:10 |
| blitzo | greezmunkey prolly faster to use dd but set bs=1M and i don't think you need to specify count, it will quit when it hits end of media | 16:10 |
| greezmunkey | blitzo: so what I told the system to do essentially is make 700 million individual operations? | 16:11 |
| mikebot | I'm having a problem with my netbook: some ubuntu menus are so tall that they don't fit on the screen. Is there a way to fix this? | 16:11 |
| mgolisch | Ben__: checked mixer levels in alsamixer? | 16:11 |
| blitzo | grrezmunkey sumpin like that | 16:11 |
| rautamiekka | rayvtirx: It must be used with "sudo". "sudo /etc/init.d/iptables stop; sudo iptables -X; sudo /etc/init.d/iptables restart" | 16:11 |
| lvh | violinappren: yes, it does, it has a plugin to do that at least | 16:11 |
| Ben__ | mgolisch: how do i do that? | 16:11 |
| rautamiekka | rayvtirx: Execute that whole line. | 16:11 |
| greezmunkey | blitzo: lmao now | 16:11 |
| Onionz | can someone pm me and help me troubleshoot my gateway/dhcp/dns server | 16:11 |
| rayvtirx | yeh have done | 16:11 |
| lvh | violinappren: (I know this because my internet connection now works through my mobile phone, which it did not with gnome-bluetooth :-)) | 16:11 |
| Traveler8 | why would i have no sound in runescape? | 16:11 |
| mgolisch | Ben__: open a terminal and type alsamixer, see if the channels are tunred up and not muted(MM) under them | 16:12 |
| lavish | Hi all | 16:12 |
| lvh | violinappren: Also, the debian box uses blueman, that's probably why it worked | 16:12 |
| violinappren | fayad: google line you get from lspci and check if others are reporting the same problem | 16:12 |
| Onionz | Traveler8 is that in wine? | 16:12 |
| lvh | violinappren: perhaps the phone lies about its capabilities, and blueman just ignores them whereas gnome-bluetooth believes them | 16:12 |
| Ben__ | mgolisch: when i type alsamixer into the terminal it says no such file or directory | 16:13 |
| lvh | violinappren: that would match with how it behaves with my old phone which *doesnt* do pan; I can try to do dun there too, but it doesn't actually do anything (just errors out) | 16:13 |
| violinappren | lvh: i think blueman creates a virtual interface and switches the route to it, i used to use it before gnome-bluetooth supported DUN connections | 16:13 |
| blitzo | greezmunkey: dd if=/dev/sr0 bs=1M | md5sum | 16:13 |
| fayad | violinappren : i've done that, and so many of them are with the same problem, some have managed to get a new driver like sk98lin | 16:13 |
| mikebot | I'm having a problem with my netbook: some ubuntu menus are so tall that they don't fit on the screen. Is there a way to fix this? | 16:13 |
| Traveler8 | um no mozilla firefox? | 16:13 |
| Traveler8 | onion^ | 16:13 |
| violinappren | fayad: then why not try the solutions you've seen? | 16:13 |
| lvh | violinappren: I just tried it and blueman indeed produces a ppp0 device | 16:14 |
| lvh | violinappren: Isn't that how it's always supposed to work? this is how i did it with pon/poff/wvdial back in the day | 16:14 |
| fayad | violinappren: :) well there are not many solutions for this. it is a stuck up situation | 16:14 |
| lavish | I'd like to remove the "logout" button from the main menu. I know that I can use the lockdown editor, but if I set "disable log out" to true it remove the shutdown button too | 16:14 |
| Onionz | Traveler8 sorry don't know then | 16:14 |
| greezmunkey | blitzo: yeah, it's running now. I used your first suggestion, removing the bs, and count... | 16:14 |
| Traveler8 | it wouldn't be needed to run mozilla,runescape in wine? | 16:14 |
| fayad | violinappren: i wonder how it works for you | 16:14 |
| AnxiousNut | how do i check the location of a usb device? /dev/..? | 16:14 |
| Traveler8 | hmm | 16:14 |
| greezmunkey | blitzo: er, removing the count, sorry. | 16:15 |
| violinappren | lvh: well it may conflict with network manager because both are trying to set up routes, DNS entries, etc | 16:15 |
| Traveler111 | Hello folks :-) Question, can I upgrade from 6.10 to the latest? | 16:15 |
| mgolisch | Ben__: odd i was quite sure its installed by default | 16:15 |
| Onionz | Traveler8 never played runescape, don't know | 16:15 |
| violinappren | fayad: probably a different chipset number than yours | 16:15 |
| Ben__ | should i get it? | 16:15 |
| lvh | violinappren: actually, come to think of it, I see a ppp device but i have no idea if nm made it or blueman did | 16:15 |
| lvh | violinappren: all i know is it works | 16:15 |
| Ben__ | mgolisch: should i get it? | 16:15 |
| violinappren | Traveler111: you better do a clean install | 16:15 |
| blitzo | greezmunkey bs has more to do with memory management; the drive still reads the same number of bytes eithyer way and buffers them | 16:15 |
| Traveler111 | violinappren thing is that I don't have any removeable media to install from. It won't accept USB :-) | 16:16 |
| greezmunkey | blitzo: cool, thanks - it is apprieciated :) | 16:16 |
| Traveler111 | all i have is a ubuntu 6.10 cdrom | 16:16 |
| violinappren | lvh: judging by your issue, it's most likely blueman that created it | 16:16 |
| blitzo | greezmunkey however if you are writing with dd then it will matter | 16:16 |
| mgolisch | Ben__: yeah but it should be installed | 16:16 |
| lvh | violinappren: If I disconnect from the connection in nm, ppp0 disappears | 16:16 |
| mgolisch | Ben__: my lucid box has it | 16:17 |
| lvh | violinappren: so it would appear nm does it | 16:17 |
| fayad | violinappren: thanks, and what about this error " pointer to bitloadval table invalid" while trying to boot to ubuntu 10.04 in my sony vaio | 16:17 |
| Traveler8 | wine internet explorer has no addressbar...how do i fix this? | 16:17 |
| rayvtirx | no not working | 16:17 |
| greezmunkey | blitzo: got it. It's not a command I use very often at all. | 16:17 |
| fayad | violinappren: i get stuck in this point | 16:17 |
| violinappren | Traveler111: you can do a network install or install from the ISO on the hard drive (using alternative not desktop ISO) | 16:17 |
| lvh | violinappren: also, blueman comes with a plugin called "NMDUNSupport" :-) | 16:17 |
| rayvtirx | there is nothing named iptables in init.d | 16:17 |
| fayad | violinappren: it won't boot to OS | 16:17 |
| bazhang | Traveler8, /join #winehq for help with wine apps | 16:17 |

| mgolisch | Ben__: no nothing with gnome | 16:18 |
| violinappren | lvh: does NM show the DUN connection? how so? | 16:18 |
| lvh | violinappren: also there's an NMMonitor which checks NM for when the connection goes down and automatically closes the bluetooth link | 16:18 |
| mgolisch | Ben__: its a cmdline app | 16:18 |
| roydude | !iptables | 16:18 |
| ubottu | 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. | 16:18 |
| lvh | violinappren: Like I would expect it to do with a different phone | 16:18 |
| rautamiekka | Traveler111: I recall that the Repos for Ubuntus older than 8.04 were deleted ages ago, but the whole idea of upgrading an Ubuntu installation is kind of broken, so you're better off to do clean installation. | 16:18 |

| piero | Hi! Nowdays we have 10 to 100 Mbit/s connections but when we need to download packages from a mirror we just have about 100 to 300kb/s due to upload restrictions in the servers. So, is it possible to use multiple mirrors at the same to download the packages needed to a system upgrade ? It could save a lot of hours, and this really makes difference, I think, without "hacking" server's policies. | 16:18 |

| mgolisch | Ben__: but the mic shouldnt be the problem if you get no sound at all, make sure no other channels like master,pcm ,front or so have MM under them | 16:22 |

| talker78 | hi there! | 16:29 |
| mikebot | lvh: http://imagebin.ca/view/W7Ztw-l.html | 16:29 |
| om26er | mikebot, this cannot be fixed but you can view the bottom part by holding ALT key and clicking | 16:29 |
| mikebot | lvh: om26er: here's another one: http://imagebin.ca/view/qrDH5Ar.html | 16:30 |
| mikebot | om26er: Oh perfect, thank you! | 16:30 |
| om26er | mikebot, that google chrome problem will be fixed in the next version of Ubuntu | 16:30 |
| lopten | Hello, I downloaded firefox 3.6 from firefox.com...but it won't start, why? | 16:31 |
| mikebot | om26er: Is there not an easy fix? if (frameHeight > windowHeight) then (addScrollBar)?? | 16:31 |
| mikebot | om26er: (NOte: I'm not a programmer) | 16:31 |
| abhijit | lopten, double click on thunderbird.bin | 16:31 |
| lvh | violinappren: I am unfamiliar with ubuntu's bug process. Am I supposed to do something to potentially alert upstream? | 16:31 |
| violinappren | lopten: run it from a terminal and check if there are any error messages | 16:31 |
| xangua | mikebot: or better use chromium, is already in lucid repositories | 16:31 |
| lvh | violinappren: since it's based on a debian package | 16:31 |
| FrEaKmAn_ | anybody using zlib? | 16:31 |
| saji89 | lopten, which version of ubuntu are you using? | 16:31 |
| om26er | mikebot, google chrome's designers dont want any scrollbar in the first and second tab | 16:32 |
| lopten | saji89, 10.04 32 bit version | 16:32 |
| om26er | mikebot, and yes its easily fixable | 16:32 |
| mikebot | om26er: I just mean generally, for ubuntu to apply that to every window opened | 16:32 |
| mikebot | xangua: thanks | 16:32 |
| lopten | Abhijeet, I'm talking about firefox not thunderbird... | 16:32 |
| xangua | lopten Abhij extract it somewhere, enter the folder and double click in thunderbird.SH | 16:32 |
| lvh | Until gnome-bluetooth stops being broken, is there some way of getting it out of the "notification area"? | 16:32 |
| lopten | xangua, Thou I want to install thunderbird too...how do I run from the terminal? | 16:32 |
| om26er | mikebot, no that I dont think is possible.. but maybe oneday gtk will be intelligent enough ;) | 16:32 |
| saji89 | lopten, Then u need not download the 3.6 version from Firefox. Firefox 3.6.6 version is already available in Ubuntu 10.04. just install it using Synaptic. | 16:33 |
| lopten | xangua, Both firefox and thunderbird have a .sh file.. | 16:33 |
| violinappren | lvh: debian is not the real upstream (i'ts gnome.org) but probably shouldn't alert them since it seems to be an ubuntu issue (as it works in debian sid) | 16:33 |
| mikebot | om26er: Haha OK. Well thanks a lot. The alt trick si what I was looking for. | 16:33 |
| lvh | violinappren: Right, I meant gnome.org | 16:33 |
| lopten | saji89, I don't want to use the repositories one, and neither thunderbird too. | 16:33 |
| lvh | violinappren: Note: it does *not* work in debian sid | 16:33 |

| lopten | saji89, They are outdated and have custome things I do not want to install. | 16:33 |
| saji89 | lopten, ok. | 16:33 |
| lvh | violinappren: I was mistaken; the thing that works there is *also* blueman, *not* gnome-bluetooth | 16:33 |
| lopten | saji89, I want to install the ones from firefox's website... | 16:33 |
| lvh | violinappren: sorry for the confusion | 16:34 |
| saji89 | lopten, HAd u tried thunderbord too? | 16:34 |
| lvh | violinappren: to set the record straight: blueman works everywhere, gnome-bluetooth works nowhere | 16:34 |
| xangua | lopten: thunderbird is already in teh repositories, you downlaoded the lates version from mozilla's web¿ what version of ubuntu are you using¿ | 16:34 |
| om26er | lopten, use this ppa ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable | 16:34 |
| FrEaKmAn_ | violinappren, what? Im trying to install zlib using http://www.techsww.com/tutorials/libraries/zlib/installation/installing_zlib_on_ubuntu_linux.php and Im not sure where to store it | 16:34 |
| lopten | xangua, thunderbird in the repos is 3.0.5 and the lates one on the website is 3.1... | 16:34 |
| xangua | om26er: i believe that ppa is only for firefox | 16:34 |
| saji89 | om26er, It seems he doesn't want the Ubuntu packaged stuff. he wants the one from Firefox website. | 16:34 |
| lopten | om26er, I want to install them manually, no software center... | 16:35 |
| lopten | om26er, I don't want to have nothing to do with ppa...just download it from the website...and install them manually. | 16:35 |
| saji89 | lopten, have ypu tried to run the sh files you said? | 16:35 |
| lopten | saji89, One second, I'll try now. | 16:35 |

| dextro_ | hi | 16:38 |
| dextro_ | the installer is crashing right after i hit next on the keyboard layout page | 16:38 |
| dextro_ | is this normal? how am i suposed to dual boot? | 16:38 |
| dextro_ | i assume the installer doesnt like my windows partition and is crashing | 16:38 |
| saji89 | lopten, try "ls -al run-mozilla.sh" to verify if it has execute permissions set. | 16:39 |
| xangua | lopten: then you don't trust ubuntu¿¿ | 16:39 |
| dextro_ | because i have installed ubuntu on this box before windows was on it and it worked fine | 16:39 |
| om26er | dextro_, you have windows installed? insert ubuntu cd in window and start the install from there | 16:39 |
| lopten | xangua, check for fedora's incident with repositories ...and see what I mean. | 16:39 |
| dextro_ | there is no option to install it on its own partition when you insatall from inside windows | 16:39 |

| saji89 | lopten, ok. | 16:40 |
| abhijit | !fixgrub | Cube`` | 16:40 |

| saji89 | lopten, So u have execute permissions. | 16:43 |
| revarr | I love ubuntu but this brightness is killing me | 16:43 |
| sidneymccoy | xangua: no idea, where do I check? | 16:43 |
| saji89 | monkey_dust, Please refer it. | 16:43 |
| xangua | sidneymccoy: system>preferences>software sources | 16:43 |
| bodom | So, my problem is: phnon conflicts with non-phonon applications. When some application using phonon is playing audio, other applications are blocked, and vice-versa | 16:44 |
| xangua | system>administration>software sources *** sidneymccoy | 16:44 |
| lopten | saji89, Yes | 16:44 |
| saji89 | monkey_dust, It has the section "using the command line". refer below that. | 16:44 |
| monkey_dust | anki, Windows should be referred to as 'chainloader +1' | 16:44 |
| anki | well I know that but.. | 16:44 |
| anki | its more dificult.. | 16:44 |
| lopten | saji89, But don't know why it doesn't start when I do ./run-mozilla.sh | 16:44 |
| quinten | Seppoz, make sure it's fully configured. try editing /etc/sshd.conf, or similarly named config file | 16:44 |
| anki | I got 5 harddrives and windows 7 are on /dev/sde | 16:45 |
| saji89 | lopten, ya that's wierd. | 16:45 |
| saji89 | lopten, did u try thunderbird? | 16:45 |
| qwe_ | hi. When I connect with DSL connection (NetworkManager) my eth0 looses IP. How can I prevent that? | 16:45 |
| violinappren | anirvana: use gparted to check which partition has windows and decrease its number by one | 16:45 |
| lopten | saji89, The same story.. | 16:45 |
| violinappren | anki: ^ | 16:45 |
| quinten | Seppoz, also, try /etc/init.d/sshd start--the old method for starting a daemon and perhaps still what openssh uses | 16:45 |
| lopten | saji89, Exactly as firefox. | 16:45 |
| G_G | Who is Sepp Blatter? | 16:45 |
| saji89 | lopten, You did this- ./thunderbird | 16:45 |
| pp1010 | .. | 16:45 |
| anki | ?. | 16:45 |
| saji89 | lopten, isn't it? | 16:45 |

| lopten | saji89, No | 16:46 |
| saji89 | lopten, then? | 16:46 |
| lopten | saji89, ./run-mozilla.sh | 16:46 |

| saji89 | lopten, ok. | 16:46 |
| dezine | Is there anyway to eliminate or at least reduce the amount of times I have to enter a password? It's simply insane to enter a password thirty times a day when all I am doing is installing a program or updating my system that only I use. | 16:47 |
| saji89 | lopten, and which command did u execute? | 16:47 |

| padhu | angel__: meego is available for free download, just google it | 16:47 |
| dextro_ | xangua> dextro_: then make a partition for ubuntu, you ca do it with the live cd (via gparted) | 16:47 |
| bodom | violinappren: I'm on lastes kubuntu lucid | 16:47 |
| dextro_ | gparted is what is crashing hold on pastebining now | 16:47 |
| monkey_dust | anki, use 'sudo fdisk -l' to show the partitions, then mount them ono by one to check which partition contains windows -- it's usually /dev/sda1, but in grub should be referred as sda0 | 16:47 |
| lopten | xangua, I will try that way. | 16:48 |
| angel__ | padhu, what does meego have to do with .img? Can I run meego on my android phone? | 16:48 |
| anki | I know.. | 16:48 |
| Kuba | hey! | 16:48 |
| violinappren | dezine: there are but that would make you very vulnerable | 16:48 |
| anki | thx btw. | 16:48 |
| monkey_dust | anki, then what's the issue, pls? | 16:48 |
| anki | well I was nos sure if sda=0 or if it was 1 | 16:48 |

| Kuba | Is there any recommended partitioning scheme for 10.04? :) Well, debian has something like "guided partitioning", here I can only choose between: a. use entire disk b. use largest continuous free space c. spedify partitions manually; option a. doesn't give me any option of revising the partitioning scheme... | 16:49 |
| anki | bah thx :) I said I have solved it :P | 16:50 |
| padhu | angel__: just a minute, i give you a link | 16:50 |
| dezine | If I could make it so I don't need a password for apt-get and aptitude or whatever that would be good enough | 16:50 |
| ykphuah | there's a time in my indicator applet which doubles the clock in my panel, how do I just show one of the itme? | 16:50 |

| soadkombucha | dezine: If you enable the root account you can login as root | 16:50 |
| soadkombucha | sudo passwd root | 16:51 |
| xangua | dezine: are you using unity¿¿ or a development version¿¿ | 16:51 |
| xangua | that was for ykphuah** sorry | 16:51 |
| dezine | Eh, I guess so, don't want to have to go that far. I'm just using the normal 10.04. Can I have a blank password or something? | 16:51 |
| padhu | angel__: try it, have afun :-) | 16:51 |
| === nathan is now known as Guest86304 | ||
| soadkombucha | dezine: Not that I'm aware of, but you can use sudo | 16:51 |
| ykphuah | xangua: nope not using unity, though I have it installed. | 16:51 |
| Kuba | Anyone could answer my partioning question? Is it clear? | 16:52 |
| soadkombucha | If you enable a root terminal, you just have to enter your password to launch the terminal | 16:52 |
| sidneymccoy | so guessing there haven't been any egregious reports of 10.04 updates breaking much? | 16:52 |
| violinappren | Kuba: which one of these options is hard to understand? it depends on what data you have on the hard disk and what you're planning to do with it later | 16:52 |
| padhu | angel__: share your experience too | 16:52 |
| ykphuah | xangua: clicking on it and -> open calendar seems to open evolution, hmm... | 16:52 |
| xangua | ykphuah: then you are....... | 16:52 |
| dezine | Alright, just reminds me of Windows always popping up asking me if I'm "sure I wanna do that." Drives me crazy. | 16:52 |
| padhu | Kuba: What you exactly want? | 16:52 |
| soadkombucha | dezine: If you mess up working as root, you can mess up the whole operating system | 16:52 |
| Adam384 | Hello I'm having some mouse issues. A lot of the time the right click isn't working at all (tried with 3 different mouses), yet sometimes it does. | 16:52 |
| xangua | ykphuah: sudo apt-get remove indicator-datetime | 16:53 |
| xangua | ykphuah: or remove the clock applet, what you preffer | 16:53 |
| Kuba | violinappren: I would like the installer to show me recommended scheme so I can adjust it to my needs; btw does "use entire disk" split my partitions into differen mount points like /tmp /var /usr /home ? | 16:53 |
| Guest86304 | Hi, I need to know if there is a way I can delete a folder that contains subfolders and files, but leave all of those in the place of the deleted folder? | 16:53 |
| dezine | Well that's pretty ass backwards.. needing a password every time I do anything. They need to fix that. | 16:53 |
| xangua | dezine: is for security | 16:53 |
| soadkombucha | dezine: No, it's not, because they don't want you messing stuff up | 16:53 |
| ykphuah | xangua: actualy I quite liked the unity but couldn't find a way to configure multiple desktops on it. | 16:53 |
| soadkombucha | Or to have your system compromised | 16:53 |

| violinappren | Kuba: you could select Manual and adjust them as you want, and yes it does split your hard disk | 16:54 |

| anki | hey guys I have problem to install my grub-install --no-floppy /dev/sdd | 16:54 |
| padhu | Kuba: use custom partition | 16:54 |
| xangua | dezine: then mark security udate to install automatically, change the auto update from 1 day to 2 weeks | 16:54 |
| Kuba | violinappren vs padhu ;p | 16:55 |
| dezine | That's help a little but it doesn't change the fact it needs the password way too often | 16:55 |
| violinappren | Guest86304: mv folder/* . | 16:55 |

| monkey_dust | dezine, easy access for you, merans easy access for hackers, too | 16:56 |
| froes | have used ./configure --with-platform=efi --target=i386 --enable-grub-emu-usb | 16:56 |
| monkey_dust | means | 16:56 |
| Kuba | ^ this does _not_ split my disk, violappren | 16:56 |
| dezine | monkey_dust, I think Linux is a bit paranoid. The security is top notch no need to overkill | 16:56 |
| dezine | But I digress, thanks for the answers | 16:56 |
| monkey_dust | kuba, use sudo fdisk -l to split your disk manually | 16:56 |
| violinappren | Kuba: select manual and do whatever you want with it, it's as simple as that | 16:57 |
| Kuba | monkey_dust: I was asking about recommended schemes ;d | 16:57 |

If it actually installs something then you may only have to restart to activate it.. that file is the video driver for the 8xx series intel cards. | 17:29 |

| zachlr | stanley_robertso, I'm not sure how to use testdisk. I assume it's like chkdisk? | 17:31 |
| luca_vento | ciao | 17:31 |
| alison | cheers erUSUL i'll try another cable.. | 17:31 |
| erUSUL | alison: tried disabling autonegotiation and forcing GiB via ethtool ? any message in the logs from the nic ? | 17:31 |
| redvil | izinucs: it says 'xserver-xorg-video-intel is already the newest version'.. | 17:31 |
| zachlr | oCean_, the files contain illegal characters, and windows and ubuntu hate that. | 17:31 |
| oCean_ | gafir: use /etc/rc.local, runs as root | 17:31 |
| stanley_robertso | zachlr, oh ok | 17:31 |
| gafir | oCean_: thanks | 17:31 |
| abhijit | stanley_robertso, zachlr http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk | 17:31 |
| oCean_ | zachlr: the FOLDER names contain illegal characters? | 17:31 |
| redvil | izinucs: btw if i got cut off it means it happened again.. | 17:32 |
| luca_vento | ho bisogno di una mano per xubuntu | 17:32 |
| aaron_ | i am trying to remove /opt/google (has google chrome) and right click doesnt have a move to trash option. rm in terminal cant do it because its a directory... anyone know how i can just get the ability yo rightclick move to trash | 17:32 |
| gafir | oCean_: you mean I have to place the script in the directory? | 17:32 |
| luca_vento | c'è nessuno | 17:32 |
| zachlr | oCean_, it's a mix of files and folders. | 17:32 |
| erUSUL | !it | luca_vento | 17:32 |
| padhu | gafir: it is a big hole of security | 17:32 |
| Dr_Willis | gafir: what program are you wanting to start? | 17:32 |
| ubottu | luca_vento: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) | 17:32 |
| violinappren | gafir: also google suid | 17:32 |
| erUSUL | aaron_: sudo rm -r /opt/google | 17:32 |
| Alcohol52 | Hi this is the first time i am using transmission torrent. I was downloading an open suse iso. the torrent properties say I have already downloaded 555 mb but only have 304 mb (44%). Only 700 kb is corrupt. Where did the rest go? | 17:32 |
| Dr_Willis | aaron_: the user cant delete it via nautilus becauise its a system dirrectory. | 17:33 |
| abhijit | thierryr, i just tried to reproduce your condiiton. i put one video file on my desktop top panel it acts like custome applet and I have there an option to remove it | 17:33 |
| gafir | Dr_Willis / padhu / violinappren: a custom program located in /usr/local/bin -- maybe I should mv the program to a location that has permissions for all users? | 17:33 |
| oCean_ | zachlr: I'm still curious what the errormessage is when you do ls -ali | 17:33 |
| padhu | zachlr: it is an applicatio. light GUI but interactive. userfriendly one. hopeless for ext4 :-( | 17:33 |
| aaron_ | @ erUSUL - me love you long time! | 17:33 |
| Izinucs | redvil: ok.. some intel cards have quirks... I'm going to have to leave this issue in the capable hands of someone else.. hopefully they've been following and will step in.. I don't have the experience dealing with intel to guide you on this one.. | 17:33 |
| violinappren | Alcohol52: right-click and select verify | 17:33 |
| Dr_Willis | gafir: what does the program do? is it an X app? or what? it needs to be ran BEFOR login? or after? | 17:33 |
| erUSUL | aaron_: no problem | 17:33 |
| zachlr | padhu, this is a FAT32 disk | 17:33 |
| gafir | Dr_Willis: after login | 17:33 |
| rootPosix | I have a question about services in ubuntu: you can cause a service to start/stop automatically at boot time by "update-rc.d"; how can you know the status of a service- whether it is started or not when booting ? something parallel to "chkconfig --list serviceName" in fedora ? | 17:33 |
| thierryr | i don't , the two icons are stuck between my dropbox icon and my network icons and i can't remove them | 17:33 |
| Dr_Willis | gafir: then you dont use rc.local, you set up the auto run things for th user to start the app. | 17:34 |
| abhijit | !who | thierryr | 17:34 |
| ubottu | thierryr: 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 :) | 17:34 |
| redvil | izinucs: no problem..thnks for taking time to help out..i appreciate it man | 17:34 |
| gafir | Dr_Willis: ok thanks, I'll try to do this | 17:34 |
| thierryr | sorry will do | 17:34 |
| terry | Whats the off topic channel? | 17:34 |
| Izinucs | redvil: good luck.. | 17:34 |
| abhijit | !ot | terry | 17:34 |
| ubottu | terry: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 17:34 |
| Dr_Willis | gafir: if it needs sudo rights, then you can either set up sudo where that ONE app dosent need a password when its ran with sudo. (best) or set the suid bit on it (insecure) | 17:34 |
| erUSUL | rootPosix: sudo service --status-all ? | 17:34 |
| violinappren | rootPosix: service SOMETHING status | 17:34 |
| zachlr | oCean_, something like "ls cannot access the file: input/output error" | 17:34 |
| Dr_Willis | gafir: what does the program do? | 17:34 |
| rootPosix | I don't mean whether it runs or not | 17:35 |
| terry | Is ubottu a person or an automated machine? | 17:35 |
| erUSUL | !bot > terry | 17:35 |
| ubottu | terry, please see my private message | 17:35 |
| rootPosix | I mean to know if it is started at boot time | 17:35 |
| itsnatesudz | Hey, I'm new to Ubuntu and I'm trying to get my ATI Radeon 9550 working with World of Warcraft. I've done the following: apt-get install fglrx and also xorg-driver-fglrx But am lost as to how to get it going and working. Could someone help please? Thanks! I'm running ubuntu 10.04 | 17:35 |
| rootPosix | status can tell me that a service is running | 17:35 |
| gafir | Dr_Willis: nothing yet :-) but I want to start a list of programs with it automatically with certain flags etc, and some require sudo | 17:35 |
| StevenX | what's the easiest way to edit a windows 7 registry from ubuntu? | 17:35 |
| oCean_ | zachlr: hard to work with "something like" errors, sorry. Anyway, it is not an option to reformat the drive? | 17:35 |
| rootPosix | but it can be that this service did not start at boot | 17:35 |
| monkey_dust | itsnatesudz, Radeon and Ubuntu don't get along well | 17:35 |
| Dr_Willis | rootPosix: services are slowly moving to the 'upstart' system. there is a 'service' command that can tell you infomation on the services. | 17:35 |
| erUSUL | StevenX: i do not know of any good way .... | 17:36 |
| rootPosix | but was started afterwards manually | 17:36 |
| Alcohol52 | violinappren: ok the statistics is same | 17:36 |
| Dr_Willis | rootPosix: it does depend on what service you are refering to. not all are moved to 'upstart' yet. | 17:36 |
| rootPosix | Dr_Willis, thnks, but still can you please be more specific | 17:36 |
| Dr_Willis | rootPosix: 'sudo service status' | 17:36 |
| monkey_dust | itsnatesudz, check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver | 17:36 |
| padhu | zachlr: proceed with test disk. | 17:36 |
| zachlr | oCean_, it would be difficult. I'd have to take drives out of every machine around here to scrounge up enough space. That or just buy a 500gb to put them on. I'll use it eventually. | 17:36 |
| terry | Dr_Willis dont mind.Are u here 24*7? | 17:36 |
| itsnatesudz | ty monkey , will check | 17:36 |
| gafir | Dr_Willis: any documentation on this >> where that ONE app dosent need a password when its ran with sudo. | 17:36 |
| erUSUL | StevenX: turns out you can use a third party reg editor via wine http://thelinuxgirl.blogspot.com/2009/01/editing-windows-registry-through-linux.html | 17:37 |
| zachlr | padhu, okay. | 17:37 |
| erUSUL | StevenX: live and see | 17:37 |
| Dr_Willis | terry: i am on vacation this week. :) and on dayshift next.. then back to 3rds.. | 17:37 |
| rootPosix | Dr_Willis, I Don't think so ; suppppse, ad said. that a service was not started at boot but only afterwards | 17:37 |
| violinappren | Alcohol52: well then the data is not there | 17:37 |
| Dr_Willis | gafir: the sudo 'docs' discuss editing the sudoers file for that sort of task. thats oneof the main features of the sudo system | 17:37 |
| rootPosix | But I want to know whether it is started at boot | 17:37 |
| padhu | terry: #ubuntu-offtopic | 17:37 |
| rootPosix | somethinkg like chkocnfig --list service | 17:37 |
| terry | Which country are u in Dr_Willis? | 17:37 |
| oCean_ | zachlr: sorry, I think I missed the point. I thought you wanted to erase everything, why would you need to find space from additional drives? | 17:37 |
| gafir | Dr_Willis: is it what you are talking about -- i'm a bit confused: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=758741 | 17:37 |
| StevenX | erUSUL, thanks, but that requires installing wine, and I'm not very familiar with that software. However, I did find a package called "registry-tools" in the depositories that I think might work. | 17:37 |
| rallias | how do i create an encrypted archive in Ubuntu? | 17:38 |
| bazhang | !ot | terry | 17:38 |
| ubottu | terry: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 17:38 |
| Dr_Willis | rootPosix: if its handled by upstart. it will have a script in /etc/init, if its handled by the older sysv - it will have a script in /etc/rc2.d , check out the 'service' command. | 17:38 |
| terry | sorry | 17:38 |
| erUSUL | StevenX: sudo aptitude install wine1.2 ; when is done download the installer of one of those tools double click on it and click on next till done | 17:38 |
| erUSUL | rallias: gpg can encrypt a file quite easily | 17:39 |
| rallias | what is the command for it? | 17:39 |
| fridgerator | is there a channel on freenode for wine? | 17:39 |
| erUSUL | rallias: « gpg -c file » | 17:39 |
| erUSUL | fridgerator: #winehq | 17:39 |
| gafir | Dr_Willis: I think that's it: you can add your script as an Cmnd_Alias to the sudoers file and then add 'NOPASSWD: <alias name>' for that username. | 17:39 |
| bazhang | fridgerator, #winehq | 17:39 |
| fridgerator | ty | 17:39 |
| Alcohol52 | violinappren: I can't understand. The network history correlates the amount of data downloaded. transmission was the only app running for last few hours so that i could dowlnload the iso. | 17:39 |
| zachlr | oCean_, it's my fault, I didn't make it clear. I have a folder (named '1') that contains a bunch of files and folders that contain illegal characters (binary and such), and windows and ubuntu don't know how to deal with them. However, the rest of the disk has all my files on it, that i would have to move in order to format. | 17:39 |
| Dr_Willis | gafir: shell SCRIPTS are handled a little differently. due to the security issues. You said it was a program. not a script. | 17:39 |
| monkey_dust | rallias, check http://www.pixelbeat.org/cmdline.html for gpg | 17:39 |
| Dr_Willis | gafir: You cant set the suid bit on a script. You have to do the 'sudoers' file route I belive | 17:40 |
| rallias | tyvm | 17:40 |
| gafir | Dr_Willis: I want to run a script that will execute a program or a daemon like this: sudo /path/program | 17:40 |
| oCean_ | zachlr: understood. You could remove the folder and all of its contents at once using "rm -r foldername" Or is '1' also invalid as a name? | 17:40 |
| gafir | Dr_Willis: sorry I'm beginning shell scripting | 17:40 |
| erUSUL | zachlr: linux accptes all chars except "null" and "/" in a filename. so even if ls or the terminal can not print it the tools should be able to work on them | 17:40 |
| violinappren | Alcohol52: bittorent clients verifies chunks as they download them and if their hashes don't match, they are discarded but counted in the stats | 17:40 |
| Dr_Willis | gafir: use the proper path/program in the proper entry in the sudoers file then. | 17:41 |
| stanley_robertso | gafir, did you get the required answer ? for running startup program using su ? | 17:41 |
| padhu | Dr_Willis : what about password less ssh technique for gafir? | 17:41 |
| Dr_Willis | padhu: 'ssh-keygen' 'ssh-copy-id remotebox' :0 done... | 17:41 |
| thierryr | abhijit: thanks for your help | 17:41 |
| Dr_Willis | padhu: but what does that have to do with sudo. :) | 17:41 |
| zachlr | oCean_, windowserUSUL, let me try just "rm -r 1" | 17:41 |
| abhijit | thierryr, welcome :) | 17:42 |
| gafir | stanley_robertso: I'm still looking :-) But I found this in the forum: you can add your script as an Cmnd_Alias to the sudoers file and then add 'NOPASSWD: <alias name>' for that username. -- I believe it would do it | 17:42 |
| thierryr | abhijit: still not solved but I will find a way | 17:42 |
| zachlr | erUSUL, keep in mind it's a fat32 disk, so the filenames must adhere to the filesystem as well. | 17:42 |
| Kuba | What should be the optimal swap size for 2GB ram? I would like to use hibernation feature; would 2GB swap be okay, or should it be more? | 17:42 |
| erUSUL | zachlr: ok; then maybe there may be problems | 17:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Kuba: i think 2gb is the minimal. You could do more. | 17:42 |
| NightKhaos|iOS4 | kuv | 17:42 |
| abhijit | thierryr, ohhh ok | 17:42 |
| stanley_robertso | cool gafir ... let me know.. if it works ;) will use it for future use | 17:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Kuba: i never use hibernate/suspend. :) so never ntocied it needing more. | 17:43 |
| NightKhaos|iOS4 | Kuba: you will want more swap than you have RAM. | 17:43 |
| _L30_ | i get a error "there was an error creating child process for this terminal" | 17:43 |
| violinappren | Kuba: optimal swap is double the ram | 17:43 |
| === mi is now known as Guest40951 | ||
| stanley_robertso | guys .. anyone tried to do RAC setup on linux ? | 17:43 |
| gafir | What's the traditional directory to put a script? Generally? | 17:43 |
| zachlr | oCean_, windowserUSUL, rm cannot remove '1': read only file system. | 17:43 |
| gafir | To save a script, I meant | 17:43 |
| terry | Cant watch arsenal tv online on ubuntu.Whats the solution? | 17:44 |
| Dr_Willis | gafir: users can have a ~/bin dir - to keep their own programs in | 17:44 |
| === L0ki_ is now known as L0ki | ||
| stanley_robertso | gafir, guess you can keep anywhere .. as long as .. you can track it .. | 17:44 |
| erUSUL | violinappren: well that rule of thumb was true in the nineties when machines had 8,16 or 32 MiB of ram; not anymore i'm afraid | 17:44 |
| spiky | Kuba: ideally you need double your ram | 17:44 |
| abhijit | stanley_robertso, what is it? | 17:44 |
| gafir | Dr_Willis: cool :-) | 17:44 |
| gafir | stanley_robertso: thanks | 17:44 |
| terry | Cant watch arsenal tv online on ubuntu.Whats the solution?This OS is not supported. | 17:44 |
| violinappren | erUSUL: i believe it still holds true, especially on servers | 17:44 |
| Dr_Willis | we giot all these other dirs by default in Home that i NEVER use.. but i guess a 'bin' dir by default is to confuseing. :) | 17:44 |
| stanley_robertso | abhijit, its for Oracle RAC setup ... kind of 2 linux nodes.. accessing the same DB [ installed on one machine ] | 17:44 |
| monkey_dust | terry, ty another channel | 17:44 |
| terry | Why? | 17:45 |
| NightKhaos|iOS4 | violinappren: not true, optimal swap is none at all. but you tend to run out of memory unless you have over 6GB and you can't hibernate. | 17:45 |
| Dr_Willis | terry: their plugins dont support linux - sounds like. | 17:45 |
| gafir | all this is very interesting and intriguing | 17:45 |
| _L30_ | that is enough to install guest additions | 17:45 |
| padhu | Dr_Willis: expect or pexpect work for him, i think | 17:45 |
| _L30_ | i get a error "there was an error creating child process for this terminal" | 17:45 |
| terry | Whats the solution? | 17:45 |
| abhijit | stanley_robertso, ok | 17:45 |
| _L30_ | help me with this error | 17:45 |
| oCean_ | zachlr: might be a filesystemproblem after all. See output "mount" - is it really readonly? | 17:45 |
| oCean_ | stanley_robertso: yes I've setup RAC more than once. Not using ubuntu though | 17:46 |
| itsnatesudz | Hey, Ok, I think I know the problem now. I had the "Extra" 3D effects working (from right click desktop > change background > visual effects) but I turned off off... then I tried to install the fglrx stuff which is probably making it worse... So I think my video WAS working and I missed it up with this fglrx software. How can I remove it and get back to default? | 17:46 |
| Dr_Willis | gafir: sudo home page with some good info -> http://www.sudo.ws/sudo/intro.html | 17:46 |

| Cube`` | how can i get my asus eee 1000he to run 720p video smoothly? | 17:46 |
| Dr_Willis | terry: if the site requires specific plugins to work.. and they cant work in linux.. there is no fix.. | 17:46 |
| _L30_ | i get a error "there was an error creating child process for this terminal" | 17:46 |
| stanley_robertso | oCean_, cool.. which flavour you used ? i tried with Oracle Enterprise lInux 5... but failed.. since i tried with laptop having only 4 GB RAM | 17:46 |
| stanley_robertso | hi clownerz | 17:46 |
| violinappren | !patience | terry | 17:46 |
| ubottu | terry: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 17:46 |

| zachlr | oCean_, mount says it's 'rw' | 17:46 |
| stanley_robertso | padhu, yes.. i have the documentation steps.. but no success case, that i came across | 17:46 |
| terry | Yeah thats it | 17:47 |
| zachlr | oCean_, however mkdir fails for the same reason: "Read only filesystem" | 17:47 |
| erUSUL | violinappren: well imagine the situation you have 16 GiB of ram ( this is a server ) and you add 32 GiB of swap. Now suppose you have a stray program that eats ram ( is leaky) and you start to swap out a swap storm happens and the system became irresponsible. now you will have to wait tilll 32 GiB os swap is filled ( with a io subsystem of 80 MiB/s can take time) untill the OOM killer kicks in and you get the machine back. | 17:47 |
| lvh | im going to change my ua and see what happens | 17:47 |
| padhu | oCean_: ok | 17:47 |
| oCean_ | stanley_robertso: centos would be good choice. Also RAC/centos tutorials available @oracle. Also visit #oracle channel for more help, since this is really offtopic for this channel | 17:47 |

| glaucous | I'm still somewhat new to the linux filesystem. Where does it make sense to put programs which do not need installation (portable)? | 17:50 |
| magicianlord | glaucous: in your home directory | 17:50 |
| lvh | terry: I'm using it, but it still doesn't work because that website requires ActiveX | 17:50 |
| _L30_ | erUSUL: but this things worked in 9.04 | 17:50 |
| lvh | terry: or, in English, Internet Explorer | 17:50 |
| violinappren | terry: if it requires activex, user agent switching won't help | 17:50 |
| stanley_robertso | glaucous, why dont you .. put them /mnt directory or /media ? | 17:50 |
| Cube`` | how can i get my asus eee 1000he to run 720p video smoothly? | 17:50 |
| erUSUL | _L30_: try gnome-terminal -e 'bash -c "dig;sudo -s;bash"' ( but anyway dig;sudo -s;bash does not make any sense) what are you actually tryin to do ? run dig as root in a terminal ? | 17:50 |
| stanley_robertso | glaucous, i would rather prefer /mnt | 17:51 |
| NightKhaos|iOS4 | glaucous: opt would be where i'd put em. | 17:51 |
| _L30_ | erUSUL: that was an example | 17:51 |
| zachlr | oCean_, thanks. I'll look into it. Worst case scenario I'll get a 500gb drive to move my files to, and format the original. fat32 sucks anyway. | 17:51 |
| wad | Hi folks. My printers suddenly disappeared. A google search said I should uninstall cups, then reinstall it. But when I used the synaptic package manager, it says it also wants to remove "ubuntu desktop". That seems like it would be important! What should I do? | 17:51 |

| oCean_ | zachlr: okay. Good luck | 17:52 |
| wad | violinappren, the printer, or cups? | 17:52 |
| glaucous | stanley_robertso, NightKhaos|iOS4 , magic_ninja: Please note that I'm not planning to move around the programs (with usb disk), it's just that that I can't install them (deb etc) since they're portable. | 17:52 |
| glaucous | So it stands between home, mnt and opt | 17:52 |
| violinappren | wad: the printer to cups | 17:52 |
| magicianlord | is a 320gb external hdd for $60 a good deal, laptop size | 17:52 |
| wad | the "Add printer" button is greyed out. | 17:52 |
| lvh | Izinucs: tell terry, not me | 17:52 |
| magicianlord | to install ubuntu on | 17:52 |
| stanley_robertso | glaucous, then i would go with /opt | 17:52 |
| Lefantomedurezo | hello | 17:52 |
| Izinucs | lvh: sorry.. | 17:52 |
| Lefantomedurezo | I have instaled lcde on ubuntu | 17:52 |
| lvh | Izinucs: no problem | 17:52 |
| stanley_robertso | glaucous, or ... if multi-users are there.. then /home | 17:53 |
| lvh | Izinucs: it's terry that wants to watch arsenal tv | 17:53 |
| Izinucs | terry: : that's one of the issues with activeX .. I run into that with some work sites.. so I run windows in a vm with virtualbox just for those situations.. it's the only way outside of dual booting... active x is MS only | 17:53 |
| wad | violinappren, the status bar on the dialog to do that says, "not connected", and when I try to connect to locahost, it says it "CUPS server error". | 17:53 |
| terry | So u mean there is no way out Dr_Willis? | 17:53 |
| erUSUL | _L30_: then i dunno sorry :( | 17:53 |
| Lefantomedurezo | where does lxde store config files? like openbox's config and compiz's config? | 17:53 |
| violinappren | wad: did you check the logs? | 17:53 |
| glaucous | stanley_robertso, okay makes sense, thanks | 17:53 |
| Dr_Willis | terry: Izinucs gave you a suggestion. | 17:53 |
| Izinucs | terry: checkout filmikz.net .. not perfect but mostly works | 17:53 |
| erUSUL | _L30_: fails for me too if that helps | 17:53 |
| wad | violinappren, good idea! checking.... | 17:53 |
| monkey_dust | terry, the only way is by using windows | 17:53 |
| oneirosFade | Hey all. | 17:53 |
| magicianlord | Lefantomedurezo: your own configs are stored in ~/.config/openbox/ | 17:53 |
| stanley_robertso | hi oneirosFade | 17:54 |
| _L30_ | ok | 17:54 |
| NightKhaos|iOS4 | glaucous: then possibly in /opt/bin as, or /usr/local/bin... or for userland, ~/bin | 17:54 |
| magicianlord | autostart.sh, rc.xml | 17:54 |
| _L30_ | looks like i have to go with xterm only :( | 17:54 |
| Lefantomedurezo | /.config/openbox is for openbox-session magicianlord | 17:54 |
| magicianlord | _L30_: for what | 17:54 |
| stanley_robertso | all .. can we get/access xterm code anywhere ? | 17:54 |
| Lefantomedurezo | but for lxde-session? | 17:55 |
| wad | violinappren, /var/log/cups/* are empty. | 17:55 |
| terry | I have to move to windows only because of that | 17:55 |
| stanley_robertso | i just want to see.. ohw xterm works .. | 17:55 |
| magicianlord | Lefantomedurezo: same thing. lxde uses openbox. however, the sample files are elsewhere | 17:55 |
| Dr_Willis | stanley_robertso: xterm source code is avail in the repios.. as are dozens of other terminal emulator programs/code | 17:55 |
| terry | I have to move to windows only because of that arsenal.tv | 17:55 |
| stanley_robertso | as I always face problem using it [ it does not provide scrollbar ] :) | 17:55 |

| stanley_robertso | Dr_Willis, i googled it.. but failed.. do you have any link.. handy ? thta would be great | 17:55 |
| angedelenfer | bonjour | 17:55 |
| glaucous | NightKhaos|iOS4, what's the difference between /opt/bin and /usr/local/bin? Any practical difference? Since I noticed both of them are empty by default | 17:55 |
| magicianlord | _L30_: that's not an openbox issue | 17:56 |
| erUSUL | Trixboxer: try #ubuntu-server too | 17:56 |
| terry | I have paid for the subscription | 17:56 |
| Lefantomedurezo | magicianlord: when I try compiz --replace & I have the compiz with initial config of live CD | 17:56 |
| terry | no other way out | 17:56 |
| Dr_Willis | stanley_robertso: you can use the apt tools to doqwnload the source. ive rarely needed to do sp | 17:56 |
| Dr_Willis | !apt | stanley_robertso | 17:56 |

| Lefantomedurezo | even if I put .conpiz on /config | 17:56 |
| _L30_ | so magicianlord how do i fix it? | 17:56 |
| Izinucs | terry: so don't renew | 17:56 |
| Dr_Willis | terry: tell them to start supporting linux.. or you wont resubscribe.. have a nice day.. | 17:56 |
| magicianlord | Lefantomedurezo: i don't use compiz | 17:56 |
| Lefantomedurezo | and rename .compiz in compiz on /config 's folder | 17:56 |
| Dr_Willis | terry: or use vitualbox + some windows os.. | 17:56 |

| violinappren | sorry, terry, wrong person | 17:58 |
| NightKhaos|iOS4 | glaucous: just usage patterns. /usr/local are for "local" apps. which usually means not from apt in ubuntu. | 17:58 |
| Kedare | Do you know any good gnome search applet ? (I like the one on OpenSuse that replace the entire gnome menu | 17:58 |
| terry | any romanian here? | 17:58 |
| violinappren | Kedare: deskbar? | 17:58 |
| Dr_Willis | seems a little extreme to replace the whole menu for a search applet.. :) | 17:58 |
| violinappren | terry: try #ubuntu-ro | 17:58 |

| hellothere | y ideas ? (maybe even setting up thunderbird so it doesnt store emails or a firefox/chrome addon?) Thanks | 18:21 |

| abstrakt | previously, my dell used to say "this driver is activated but not currently in use" | 18:32 |
| abstrakt | so i would uninstall/remove and then reinstall/activate the driver, and then things would "just work" | 18:32 |

| abstrakt | anyone? thoughts on how to deal with broadcom wireless card not connecting? | 18:40 |
| abstrakt | i can connect fine by plugging in directly | 18:40 |
| abstrakt | but there are various reasons that I can't actually stay plugged in | 18:41 |
| abhijit | abstrakt, check tldp.org for broadbacm documentation | 18:41 |

| abhijit | abstrakt, see that wiki page given by violinappren | 18:42 |
| abstrakt | violinappren, abhijit, k well that page doesn't address my issue | 18:43 |
| abstrakt | i've already got the driver installed | 18:43 |
| abstrakt | the system sees all the wireless networks available | 18:43 |
| abhijit | abatoo, dunno then | 18:43 |
| abstrakt | i select my network, it asks me for a password | 18:43 |
| abstrakt | then it just sits there thinking for up to like a minute | 18:43 |
| abstrakt | and then comes back and asks for the password again | 18:43 |
| illac | have any good tips for just trouble shooting wireless in general, sometimes my lappy will just not see any networks, a reboot fixes it every time | 18:43 |

| frex | Dr_Willis: ok thanks | 19:12 |

| AmoKito | violinappren thanks but the error is somehow strange , it's about nvidia-kernel-common | 19:18 |
| Dr_Willis | MrPicard: sounds like a ftp server config issue then. | 19:18 |
| abstrakt | ok so how would i go about figuring out the cause of this problem: wireless driver is installed, list of wireless networks pops up, but when connecting it just stalls for about a minute and then asks me for my password and repeats that over and over | 19:18 |

| Dr_Willis | was assault spelt right? | 19:36 |

| solow | Dr_Willis, Even when I type Assault, or Assaultcube, it still does the same | 19:37 |
| abstrakt | violinappren, so that's iwconfig | 19:37 |
| violinappren | abstrakt: your wireless interface is named eth0! | 19:37 |
| Dr_Willis | try just try grep -e ass (case ignored) | 19:37 |
| abstrakt | violinappren, ? | 19:38 |
| abstrakt | violinappren, what do you mean | 19:38 |
| violinappren | or eth1 | 19:38 |
| abstrakt | violinappren, it's eth1 | 19:38 |
| violinappren | well it shouldn't | 19:38 |
| abstrakt | why... eth0 is actual ethernet | 19:38 |
| Dr_Willis | why are we even looking at this assault cube stuff? ive missed the original problem | 19:38 |
| abstrakt | that makese perfect sense for wireless to be eth1 | 19:38 |
| abstrakt | the dell that i'm connected to from right now is exactly the same | 19:38 |
| solow | Dr_Willis, I am, because I'm planning on setting up a server for me and some friends. buuuut i need the config file. which is not located at /usr/games/assaultcube | 19:39 |
| abstrakt | well except the dell says Signal level:209 | 19:39 |
| violinappren | solow: did you check in 'top' ? | 19:39 |
| solow | violinappren, It aint running. | 19:40 |
| solow | But it's ok. Thanks anywayz | 19:40 |
| solow | If you could tell me why my search stopped working? | 19:40 |
| metalgeek | Is there a chanell for advice on modifying the way gnome looks. I got very lost in theme engines earlier and it didnt make much sense. | 19:40 |
| abstrakt | violinappren, so why the exclamation (!) | 19:40 |
| abstrakt | violinappren, or was that a typo | 19:40 |
| solow | When I click 'find' it just takes off. | 19:40 |
| violinappren | solow: if it's not running so how do you expect to know its open files? | 19:40 |
| abstrakt | why would it say signal level:0 | 19:40 |
| abstrakt | cuz it's def showing a list of networks | 19:40 |
| abstrakt | so it obviously has signal | 19:41 |
| solow | violinappren, I don't. I want the files that belong to it. The path to the maps and config files. | 19:41 |
| violinappren | abstrakt: are you sure the password is correct? | 19:41 |
| abstrakt | violinappren, yup | 19:41 |
| violinappren | solow: dpkg --listfiles assualtcube | 19:41 |

| violinappren | quattro_cs: but in your case, it's directing connections directly to your local X server | 19:59 |

| erUSUL | zigovr: that's skip | 22:33 |
| violinappren | R3cur51v3: if you need the windows machines to see a wireless point , you can use hostapd | 22:33 |
| R3cur51v3 | As long as modern Windows clients can connect to the network I've created, it doesn't matter what type it is. | 22:34 |

| marco__mk | hello there! Is there a way to revert a package installation (after upgrading)? | 22:35 |
| chrissharp123 | marco__mk: depends on what it is | 22:36 |
| sarthor | sweetpi, i think my fingerprint sensor is not turned on, but i do not know how to turn that on. | 22:37 |
| chrissharp123 | marco__mk: and "revert" - not literally - you may be able to install a previous version | 22:37 |
| sweetpi | sarthor: hmm.. i thought you said the device was detected? i dont see anything about it | 22:37 |
| marco__mk | chrissharp123, thank you for your answer :) but *how* can I install a previous version? | 22:38 |
| sarthor | sweetpi, i did not said detected on linux. i said detected and worked on win. i said to confirm you that device is OK. | 22:38 |
| thune3 | zigovr: maybe look at ddrescue, it seems to allow easy option for start offset. | 22:38 |
| chrissharp123 | marco__mk: which package is it? If it's something system-critical, it may not work. | 22:39 |
| hiexpo | marco__mk, only way is a fresh install | 22:39 |
| VCoolio | marco__mk: to install a specific version try something like apt-get install foobar=2.25.91-0ubuntu1 | 22:39 |
| hiexpo | wait are you looking to backup on os or just a package? | 22:40 |
| Stameni | join #pythob | 22:40 |
| marco__mk | chrissharp123, I'm writing a script for ubuntu, it's not a "single" package... I didn't know how to revert a package ;) | 22:40 |
| sweetpi | sarthor: i see. well if you can figure out what exact device it is, maybe someone can help. but its not being detected so either its not supported or needs a driver other than what we have tried | 22:40 |
| chrissharp123 | marco__mk: ah... well, not really then. The versions of packages for a particular release are usually not interchangeable with older releases' packages | 22:41 |
| chrissharp123 | marco__mk: you can always have your script install something from source, though | 22:41 |
| zigovr | thune3, thanks for the tip | 22:41 |
| chrissharp123 | marco__mk: (depending on what it is, of course) | 22:42 |

| infogulch | thune3: it's on the motherboard | 22:44 |
| violinappren | tensorpudding: google! | 22:45 |
| thune3 | infogulch: one possibility is that you have sata disabled in bios. there could be others. | 22:45 |
| erUSUL | infogulch: make sure is put in ahci mode on the bios ( if possible ) linux works better with ahci | 22:45 |

| trickx51 | llutz: im new to ubuntu and linux...is what ubottu posted pretty self explanatory? | 23:19 |
| === ublender_ is now known as ublender | ||
| llutz | trickx51: go read those links yourself, i haven't read it so i cannot tell you. sry | 23:20 |

| xomp | is there a switch I can use with "top" to see what CPU % one of my cores is at? I set a processes affinity via taskset and would like to see what the % of usage is for that core. | 23:25 |
| xomp | the way I understand it, "top" in itself displays percentage across the cores as a whole | 23:25 |
| violinappren | xomp: try htop | 23:25 |
| _jesse_ | xomp: htop gives am ore detailed view | 23:25 |
| _jesse_ | and it's in technicolor! | 23:25 |
| xomp | thanks, is that a package or something? (I currently don't have that according to the console) | 23:26 |
| _jesse_ | yeah it's a package | 23:26 |
| xomp | ah thanks! | 23:26 |
| erUSUL | xomp: press 1 | 23:26 |
| xomp | I really like this! | 23:26 |
| xomp | erUSUL, it's headless :P | 23:26 |
| === dermuhle is now known as dermuehle | ||
| erUSUL | xomp: what is headless ? | 23:27 |
| violinappren | f2 for more awesomeness | 23:27 |
| AlbertoP | hello, where can I find the source code of the restricted driver manager? | 23:27 |
| violinappren | AlbertoP: apt-get source | 23:27 |
| xomp | erUSUL, SSH only, no DE | 23:27 |
| AlbertoP | violinappren: any link to a project or repo? | 23:27 |
| erUSUL | xomp: and? you can not press number "1" to get top to show cpu % per core ? | 23:27 |
| violinappren | AlbertoP: apt-cache info usually has a url | 23:28 |
| AlbertoP | thanks | 23:28 |
| xomp | erUSUL, sorry, I thought you were going to have me go through a GUI of some sort (which is often the case here) heh | 23:28 |
| erUSUL | xomp: « is there a switch I can use with "top" to see what CPU % one of my cores is at? » yes there is; press 1. that's what i meant | 23:29 |
| xomp | erUSUL cheers :) | 23:30 |

| NCS_One | on 9.10 when I putted the mouse over the icons next to the clock it used to show a ballon with info, now on 10.04 eg rhythmbox doesnt show it. Is this normal ? | 23:30 |
| NCS_One | Transmission also showed some nice info but now no ballon | 23:30 |
| ChogyDan | NCS_One: yes, normal and controversial. Tooltips have been disabled for the notification area | 23:31 |
| zr0 | i installed an intel 3945 mini pci-e card into my laptop and i'm still having my wireless go in and out | 23:32 |
| crankharder | i'm getting what seems like really poor video/desktop performance (intel corp 82865G integrated graphics) -- is there anything I can do about this? | 23:32 |
| zr0 | what can i do to track down the causes of this? | 23:32 |
| NCS_One | ChogyDan: oh, pity. Thanks | 23:33 |
| zr0 | btw, when i do iwconfig, nothing stands out.. my link quality is like 50/70 minimum | 23:33 |
| masterslakk | is there any programs in ubuntu that are like dreamweaver? | 23:34 |
| duffydack | devslash, try #vbox now they are 'alive' | 23:34 |
| trickx51 | is there a way to customize an ISO of Ubuntu from windows? | 23:34 |
| masterslakk | open software that is used to create, maintain, & outfit website/pages | 23:34 |
| bastidrazor | zr0: possibly look in /var/log/daemon.log for hints | 23:34 |
| duffydack | trickx51, remastersys | 23:35 |
| masterslakk | trickx51, i think there is a site that you can customize your own iso | 23:35 |
| duffydack | trickx51, sorry, read it wrong | 23:35 |
| masterslakk | any programs like dreamweaver in ubuntu that is free??? | 23:35 |

| duffydack | trickx51, from windows, I dont know. | 23:36 |
| trickx51 | im running on ubuntu from a USB, if i removed some apps would it free up space on the usb? | 23:36 |
| duffydack | trickx51, you could try using portable ubuntu in windows and installing remastersys in itm and then make your iso...it might just work, never know | 23:37 |
| duffydack | trickx51, no | 23:37 |
| masterslakk | trickx51, yes it owuld | 23:37 |
| DasEi | trickx51: depends on how you installed | 23:37 |
| masterslakk | trickx51, nvm it wouldn't | 23:37 |
| DasEi | trickx51: live or persistent install ? | 23:38 |
| trickx51 | live | 23:38 |
| DasEi | trickx51: no, then | 23:38 |
| duffydack | master_of_master, trickx51 depends how you installed. we assume you are liveusb | 23:38 |
| zr0 | bastidrazor: thanks | 23:38 |
| duckx0r | i have a quick question about evolution. If I have a local maildir store and use "maildir-format mail directories" as the server type in evolution, will it then try to download all of the messages from the maildir and store them in its own proprietary format (like kmail does), or will it leave them where they are and access them from the actual Maildir directory? | 23:38 |
| BiggFREE | I did a mistake. Sorry :( | 23:38 |
| Smirnov | is there supposed to be a mirror list of ports.ubuntu.com somewhere | 23:39 |
| trickx51 | it's telling me I don't have enough room to install what i need in order to make a custom iso...is there a way to use either the computer's drive space or a different USB stick to install it?? | 23:39 |
| DasEi | trickx51: what's the size of the usb ? | 23:40 |
| trickx51 | 4 gig... | 23:41 |
| duffydack | trickx51, install it properly. even a wubi would do. (I hate wubi) | 23:41 |
| trickx51 | what's wubi? | 23:41 |
| DasEi | trickx51: that should be enough, and from your aelier questions I assume you want a custom install, so.. | 23:41 |
| Name141 | Hello, my old computer doesn't seem to be able to get online. I even tried rmmod tulip , modprobe tulip. This happened after I updated a few days ago and restarted. | 23:41 |
| ChogyDan | trickx51: I thought ubuntu only takes up 1g of space.. | 23:42 |
| bastidrazor | are there repository issues going on? i'm having some weird issues | 23:42 |
| DasEi | trickx51: *earlier ;; .. so format it to fat 32, and then use pendrivelinux to get this done | 23:42 |
| Name141 | Is there something I can try to get the Microsoft NIC working properly again ? | 23:42 |
| ddilinger | Hi, currently when i plug my android phone i have to check dmesg and see what device it connected to (sdg or some such) and then issue `sudo mount /dev/sdg1 /media/android` How might i automate this process so ubuntu recognizes my phone and automagically mounts it to /media/android? Note that i'm looking for CLI instructions, i dont have the gnome shell or any of that | 23:42 |
| duckx0r | trickx51, ubuntu takes about 2.4 gigs on a USB drive. If you need more space than that, you can install a live cd and make it remember the changes, which will bring it down to 700 megs | 23:43 |
| DasEi | bastidrazor: mine are fine, details ? | 23:43 |
| duffydack | trickx51, for remastersys to work you need your usb drive with ubuntu live whatever, plus you need space for an iso of you custom install.... | 23:43 |
| trickx51 | ?? I used a 4 gig USB and unetbootin to install ubuntu | 23:44 |
| duffydack | trickx51, so if you are running it all from a usb, forget it. just install it and do the rest | 23:44 |
| bastidrazor | DasEi: Something wicked happened resolving 'ubuntu.mirrors.tds.net:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname) | 23:44 |
| DasEi | trickx51: I guess you try unetbootin and made too much store space (max), so now your system-parti is filled (~800meg), df -h tells you | 23:44 |
| bastidrazor | DasEi: and that is the actual message.. somethign wicked.. :P | 23:44 |
| Name141 | ifconfig is only showing localhost as the inet addr | 23:45 |
| duffydack | trickx51, install it with wubi or a real install, then install remastersys then you can make a custom iso | 23:46 |
| trickx51 | what is wubi? | 23:46 |
| trickx51 | is there a wiki? | 23:46 |
| duffydack | !wubi | trickx51 | 23:46 |
| ubottu | trickx51: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 23:46 |
| trickx51 | Ahhh.....i see said the blind girl? | 23:47 |
| duffydack | trickx51, you could just use virtualbox also | 23:47 |
| ningchi18 | wubi is better | 23:47 |
| trickx51 | duffydack: virtualbox is like wubi i take it? | 23:47 |
| duffydack | trickx51, install it in a vbox, customise it, make the iso with remastersys and copy the iso to your host and burn | 23:47 |
| duffydack | trickx51, uh, no its a virtual machine. | 23:48 |
| ningchi18 | yes | 23:48 |
| bastidrazor | DasEi: i'm getting this on more than one box on my LAN, different mirrors do not help. | 23:48 |
| trickx51 | DD: install ubuntu in vbox from windows...? | 23:48 |
| Phantomas | Hello! Is ht disabled by default on lucid? | 23:49 |
| Phantomas | (hyper threading) | 23:49 |
| trickx51 | ningchi18: why is wubi better? | 23:49 |
| Name141 | I do rmmod tulip, and modprobe tulip and dmesg comes up with " eth0: AMDtek Comet rev 17 at Port 0x1000" blah blah.. "IRQ 10" | 23:49 |
| Name141 | but still no connection | 23:49 |
| DasEi | Phantomas: no | 23:49 |
| duffydack | trickx51, it would be easier on you... | 23:49 |
| trickx51 | oh...i like easy.... | 23:49 |
| Oer | wubi is for test purpose, not for production | 23:49 |
| duffydack | trickx51, IF all you are wanting to do is make a custom iso, then ues | 23:49 |
| duffydack | yes* | 23:49 |
| trickx51 | ah.... | 23:50 |
| duffydack | trickx51, using vbox you`d install it without actually installing it, to make the iso | 23:50 |
| DasEi | bastidrazor: just for one address or the whole sources.list ? | 23:50 |
| bastidrazor | DasEi: just one. | 23:51 |
| Phantomas | DasEi: sure? Because I have ht in my flags in /proc/cpuinfo but the logical processors remain 2 in a dual core cpu | 23:51 |
| duffydack | trickx51, which you would use later to install on a real machine. | 23:51 |
| ChogyDan | Phantomas: not all intel cpus have ht. I thought mine would, core2duo, but I was wrong | 23:52 |
| trickx51 | duffydack, I just want to make sure I have this right...from windows..install virtualbox, then use virtualbox to *install* ubuntu, then use remastersys to create an iso of the customized ubuntu to install to a USB? | 23:52 |
| DasEi | Phantomas: sure not disabled by default, look at htop, also cat /proc/cpuinfo should show two cores, though saying nothing about ht | 23:53 |
| hqb | Are you chinese | 23:53 |
| trickx51 | duffydack, and remastersys is an app installed in the *install* of unbuntu in virtualbox...right? | 23:53 |
| Barridus | i can't seem to get into my windows shares that exist on my HTPC anymore, yet i can from a windows box. | 23:53 |
| duffydack | trickx51, install vbox in windows. install ubuntu as a guest. install remastersys in the guest. use it to make an iso of your guest install. copy the iso to your host. burn | 23:53 |
| trickx51 | ok...I think i got it...now...sorry for being a nincompoop... | 23:54 |
| Phantomas | DasEi: That's the problem. cpuinfo shows two cores *and* has ht in the flags section | 23:54 |
| Phantomas | it's for sure a dual core processor (amd 64 x2 6000+) | 23:55 |
| ashken | wsup guys | 23:55 |
| duffydack | trickx51, http://sourceforge.net/projects/remastersys/files/ | 23:55 |
| trickx51 | thank you so much duffydack and everyone else for all your help = p | 23:55 |
| tanin | hey | 23:55 |
| Daekdroom | Phantomas, a AMD64 Athlon X2 6000+ should show only 2 cores when you use cpuinfo | 23:55 |
| DasEi | Phantomas: so waht concerns you about it being disabled ? | 23:55 |
| ashken | anybody here running zeitgeist sezen? | 23:55 |
| duffydack | trickx51, enable shared folders to copy the iso to your host.. and install guest additions | 23:56 |
| Phantomas | if it's a dual core cpu and has ht it should display 4 logical processors, no? | 23:56 |
| zr0 | it looks like when my wireless goes out, the line i get in /var/log/daemon.log is 'NetworkManager: <info> (wlan1): device state change: 8->2 (reason 0)' | 23:56 |
| Phantomas | 2 threads for each core | 23:56 |
| Daekdroom | Phantomas, what happens is that no AMD processor has HT | 23:56 |
| duffydack | Phantomas, my i7 has 8 so yes | 23:57 |
| DasEi | Phantomas: these are merely the found specs of your cpu, a thing like htop will show if both cores share work | 23:57 |
| zr0 | followed by: 'NetworkManager: <info> (wlan1): deactivating device (reason 0)' | 23:57 |
| Phantomas | Daekdroom: and what is the purpose of ht flag in /proc/cpuinfo? | 23:57 |
| trickx51 | duffydack: thanks again... | 23:57 |
| Daekdroom | Phantomas, no clue. | 23:57 |
| hqb | what do you said? | 23:58 |
