| maleldraconis | Jordan_U: you said something to me before about using the USB drivers in Grub2 to boot from an external disk drive. Could you expand on that, please? | 00:02 |
| Jordan_U | sindegra: The intel driver is used for ttys by default. That's why I was wondering why you were messing around with VESA. | 00:02 |

| maco | maleldraconis: if the drive is built such that it absolutely wont power on until the OS talks to it (not just when the computer powers on), theres nothing we can do about it | 00:14 |

| wiesshund | maleldraconis, youve got the ISO? | 00:17 |
| Jordan_U | maleldraconis: I've never heard of a netbook that can't boot from USB, are you sure you setup the flash drive properly? | 00:17 |
| maco | maleldraconis: netbooks mean you cant remove the hard drive? | 00:17 |
| maco | maleldraconis: that one's news to me. also, plenty of eeepc users have installed ubuntu, so im sure the bios is capable of speaking to thumb drives | 00:17 |
| uzu-cat | hi | 00:17 |
| maleldraconis | well, it's not working with the thumb drive I have | 00:17 |
| maleldraconis | you see why I'm frustrated with this process | 00:18 |
| Jordan_U | maleldraconis: Does that thumb drive work with another computer? | 00:18 |
| wiesshund | maleldraconis, do you have the ISO image of the live CD? | 00:18 |
| uzu-cat | i have ubuntu installed and i need to install windows | 00:18 |
| maleldraconis | yes, I have the ISO | 00:18 |
| uzu-cat | how can i do it? | 00:18 |
| Jordan_U | uzu-cat: Boot the windows install CD and install windows. For help installing windows join ##windows. | 00:18 |
| wiesshund | maleldraconis, you could boot the iso in windows using qemu, or you could use the WUBI installer | 00:18 |
| maleldraconis | Jordan_U: not for booting | 00:18 |
| uzu-cat | i'm telling this 'cause i know that when you install windows it uses to delete the linux launcher | 00:18 |
| maco | maleldraconis: how did you put it on the thumb drive? did you just copy the iso there or did you use unetbootin? | 00:19 |
| maco | uzu-cat: install with the windows cd, then use the ubuntu cd to reinstall grub | 00:19 |
| Jordan_U | maleldraconis: Then why did you expect it to boot your netbook? | 00:19 |
| wiesshund | uzu-cat, install windows on its own partition, then if need be use the linux live CD to reinstall grub, though i didnt need to | 00:19 |
| bastid_raZor | maleldraconis: the last link the bot provided describes how to install via the ISO on the harddrive. | 00:19 |
| Saturn2888 | What are the default directories in /dev when it's not mounted? | 00:19 |
| maleldraconis | I used the windows installer from the website and it only installed on the free space I had, it didn't format the whole drive like I want it to | 00:19 |
| BidaBoy2 | hey i changed out my ubuntu partition size and now i cant start xserver, can any one help pls | 00:20 |

| nimbiotics_ | Hello everyone. On ubuntu 9.10, is there a graphical tool that would allow me to compare 2 text files side by side? | 00:20 |
| maco | maleldraconis: ok so we've established that your netbook isnt rejecting boot options, just that your usb is broken | 00:20 |
| maleldraconis | probably | 00:20 |
| wiesshund | maleldraconis, yes that is how the wubi install works, the only way to use the whole partiton is to boot the live image with no windows active | 00:20 |
| barfster | Which version of ubuntu starts to support ext4? | 00:21 |
| ilovefairuz | nimbiotics_: meld | 00:21 |

| uzu-cat | i heard about a program called Gparted, how can it helps me? | 00:21 |
| wiesshund | maleldraconis, you said your thumb drive sucks, do you happen to have an mp3 player that works also as a flash drive? | 00:21 |
| barfster | I am doing an upgrade now | 00:21 |
| ilovefairuz | uzu-cat: to repartition your hard disk | 00:21 |
| maleldraconis | that's what I'm using as my flash drive, wiess | 00:21 |
| barfster | But only to 8.04 for now | 00:21 |
| maleldraconis | that's probably the problem | 00:22 |
| Jordan_U | uzu-cat: If you don't already have a partition free to install windows into, gparted can help you resize Ubuntu to make space. If you already have a partition set out for windows then you don't need gparted. | 00:22 |
| maleldraconis | but I have some options to try I guess, so I'll check those out and get back to you guys on how it worked or if.. | 00:22 |
| maco | maleldraconis: ah yeah, mp3 players dont tend to go into USB Mass Storage mode until the OS starts talking to them | 00:22 |

| uzu-cat | well, thanks again | 00:23 |

| gruberror | Now i can't boot into windows or ubuntu | 00:23 |
| maleldraconis | I'm afraid that the bootloader is on the windows partition and if I do that, I'll lose boot capabilities | 00:23 |
| ilovefairuz | gruberror: then it's a hardware issue, check data cables | 00:24 |
| Jordan_U | gruberror: How is the drive connected? (USB, PATA, SATA etc) | 00:24 |
| gruberror | Jordan_U: sata, ilovefairuz, its not, the drive is mountable under livecd | 00:24 |
| Jordan_U | gruberror: Is the drive the BIOS is currently booted from also sata? | 00:24 |
| gruberror | Jordan_U: yes, all my drives are sata | 00:25 |
| wiesshund | gruberror, if the bios doesnt acknowledge the HDD, it is a hardware issue of some sort, linux can many times see hardware that the bios is spazzing on. doesnt mean all is well though | 00:25 |
| Jordan_U | gruberror: Check your BIOS settings then, that drive may simply be disabled. | 00:25 |
| gruberror | i installed ubuntu on sdb, sda being the drive i have windows 7 on | 00:25 |
| maleldraconis | is there any way to see if the boot loader is on the linux partition and not the windows? | 00:25 |
| wiesshund | gruberror, if the BIOS cant see it, you cant boot from it | 00:25 |
| gruberror | i see | 00:26 |
| BidaBoy2 | can any one help pls | 00:26 |
| gruberror | i dont even get the grub menu though, but i guess grub is performing since i do get to the grub rescue prompt | 00:26 |
| wiesshund | maleldraconis, what option did you use when you installed grub? | 00:26 |
| maco | maleldraconis: if you did wubi, ubuntu's not on a separate partition at all | 00:26 |
| maco | maleldraconis: its just in a file inside the windows filesystem. a very big file | 00:26 |
| Jordan_U | gruberror: That's because grub is installed to sda. You're just getting a rescue shell because it can't load any of its modules or grub.cfg from sdb. | 00:27 |
| Saturn2888 | what are the UUIDs in mdadm.conf supposed to represent? They are not the same UUIDs as blkid shows | 00:27 |

| rileyp | ok so i port forward a port for my ipod or for my mythpodcaster server | 00:31 |
| maco | rileyp: for your server | 00:31 |
| rileyp | ok so do i port forward a udp or tcp port and whichone? | 00:31 |
| ilovefairuz | rileyp: this all depends on the service you're trying to expose outside of the router | 00:31 |
| maco | rileyp: depends what you want to go through it? could also forward both... | 00:32 |
| m0dmd | ilovefairuz: would you happen to know what I need to do next | 00:32 |
| rileyp | ok so if i port forword 192.168.1.10 which is my servers ip | 00:32 |
| m0dmd | to view my server for the host environment | 00:32 |
| * maco notes there are more protocols than just those 2 | 00:32 | |
| ilovefairuz | rileyp: you are usually given a choice for external port and internal port, both tcp and udp | 00:33 |
| ilovefairuz | rileyp: check your router's configuration interface | 00:33 |
| rileyp | http://code.google.com/p/mythpodcaster/issues/detail?id=28 end of this thread is my dilema | 00:33 |
| Jordan_U | maco: What protocalls other than udp and tcp are generally routed? | 00:33 |

| ridin | ok i changed my password now when i login i have to put my new password and then my old one because of some keyring | 00:37 |
| funkyHat | m0dmd: ah I see. In the shell on the VM type in ifconfig. That tell you the IP address of the VM, then you can put that IP address in your web browser to connect to it | 00:37 |

| m0dmd | sweet | 00:37 |
| m0dmd | funkyHat thank you | 00:37 |
| ilovefairuz | m0dmd: in the virtual machine settings, select NAT not Host only | 00:38 |

| tucemiux | rileyp, what questions are you asking? can you ask it all in one line? | 00:38 |
| m0dmd | ilovefairuz it's working. I've had NAT | 00:38 |
| m0dmd | thank you fellas | 00:38 |
| tucemiux | maco, i thought we were discussing protocols? You dont route a port, you use protocols to route internet traffic | 00:38 |
| ilovefairuz | rileyp: depends on what you're trying to access? what server/daemon ? | 00:38 |
| rileyp | its my ipod attempting to communicate with mac reader | 00:39 |
| tucemiux | m0dmd, and now to make the change permanent give the virtual machine a static IP and open up whatever ports you want on your router and send it to the virtual machine | 00:39 |

| ridin | ok i changed my password now when i login i have to put my new password and then my old one because of some keyring | 00:41 |
| cablop | Jordan_U: is the guy trying to change he framebuffer still here? i forgot his nick | 00:42 |
| maco | tucemiux: the context was port forwarding. got confused, sorry | 00:42 |
| maco | tucemiux: but if you just mean what other protos are common other than tcp/udp, then esp, ah, and isatap | 00:42 |

| hall | i'm unable to set my usb wifi card to mode master "for use in to share net wireless" anyone that can help with that | 00:43 |
| ilovefairuz | rileyp: netstat on the mac | 00:44 |
| ridin | !keyring | 00:44 |
| ridin | hmmmm | 00:44 |
| tucemiux | maco, yes, you were using incorrect terminology, but typically on a router you can only specify those two protocols, tcp/udp -- unless I'm mistaken | 00:44 |
| rileyp | ilovefairuz, Its a ipod touch no net stat | 00:44 |
| ilovefairuz | hall: lshw -C network | 00:44 |
| mgolisch | rileyp: use google then? | 00:44 |
| ilovefairuz | rileyp: the server runs on an ipod touch ? | 00:45 |
| maco | tucemiux: not sure. tbh, i dont recall my router even asking for a protocol when i setup port forwarding. it only wanted the port | 00:45 |
| maco | tucemiux: i know for sure that some routers do *block* isatap, making those wanting to use ipv6 tunnels none too happy | 00:45 |

| hall | ilovefairuz http://pastebin.org/413927 done | 00:45 |
| mgolisch | who cares its a bad idea anyways unless you have a ipv6 capable firewall | 00:46 |
| tucemiux | maco, i guess it all depends on what router you have, I have a linksys router and installed tomato on it, tomato actually lets you specify what protocol to use, you can use either or both | 00:46 |
| maco | tucemiux: i was using ddwrt | 00:46 |

| lfitz | hi, i was trying to write a udev rule (last thing i did) and now my touchpad no longer works, the udev rule was for the mouse however, not touchpad | 01:03 |
| icemaker | have no idea on linux but need to install an usb wireless card tp-link wn422g v2 can any1 guide me through??? plz | 01:03 |
| noisewaterphd | I've got a mac formatted USB hard drive connected, it can read but not write, why? | 01:03 |
| lfitz | there is a power button for the touchpad and it does not light up anymore | 01:03 |
| mgolisch | lfitz: thats basicaly the same thing | 01:03 |
| lfitz | mgolisch: ? | 01:03 |
| wiesshund | icemaker, is that card supported on linux? | 01:04 |
| mgolisch | how about removing that rule? or fixing it? | 01:04 |
| Jordan_U | noisewaterphd: Linux doesn't support writing to hfsplus unless journaling is disabled. | 01:04 |
| zenergi | Any suggestions how I can troubleshoot why monit wont' start at bootup or respond to /etc/init.d/monit start or /sbin/service monit start? | 01:04 |
| wiesshund | icemaker, if not you will have to see if its supported by ndiswrapper | 01:04 |
| lfitz | mgolisch: i removed the rules and rebooted, nothing happened | 01:04 |
| Jordan_U | noisewaterphd: Hfsplus is the filesystem used by OSX.. | 01:04 |
| noisewaterphd | really? | 01:04 |
| mgolisch | lfitz: what did that rule look like? | 01:05 |
| noisewaterphd | that isn't cool | 01:05 |
| noisewaterphd | thanks | 01:05 |
| Jordan_U | noisewaterphd: You're welcome. | 01:05 |
| ilovefairuz | hall: basically there are conflicting reports on whether it suppots ap mode or not, the chip is a ralink, you could try to setup an ap manually using hostapd, some reported success with recent kernels | 01:05 |

| j800r | hey guys, i have a question. as i've now migrated to Linux full-time, permanently, i have a 1tb hard drive formatted to NTFS that I use to store my files on. if i format this drive to ext4 (I know i'll lose all files on it) will Ubuntu automatically recognise it for file storage even if i have Ubuntu installed on a different drive? | 01:07 |
| icemaker | wiesshund: it's suported by ndswrapper this is what i found on google but i cant realy understand it and it's giving me an error as is http://dinthsblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/i-was-fighting-to-run-tp-link-wn422g-v2.html | 01:08 |
| JoeMaverickSett | why are some of the packages kept back instead of being installed? | 01:08 |
| cablop | the bad thing is sindegra is not here... he can test his settings and i think that vesa of a netbook will support the resolution he wanted | 01:08 |
| ilovefairuz | hall: one moment, pasting stuff for toy | 01:08 |
| mgolisch | lfitz: it probably has nothing to do with that rule then, i guess, some laptops have function keys to disable the touchpad, maybe you accidentaly pressed that button | 01:08 |
| j800r | JoeMaverickSett, are you referring to the kernel images? | 01:08 |
| JoeMaverickSett | j800r, yes. | 01:09 |
| j800r | i think they may have found bugs in it | 01:09 |
| cablop | how can i chanmge the animation at startup? | 01:09 |
| j800r | you can still install them if you allow proposed updates, but they obviously held them back to work on them | 01:09 |
| cablop | also, i want to change the login screen | 01:09 |
| wiesshund | icemaker, 1st you need to get the driver files for it for win2k/winXP | 01:10 |
| JoeMaverickSett | i tried dist-upgrade, but they are still being held back | 01:10 |
| ridin | any help on http://imagebin.ca/view/cHq684D.html | 01:10 |
| wiesshund | icemaker, then you can use the ndiswrapper gui, or command line , to have it load them | 01:10 |
| j800r | JoeMaverickSett, i told you why they're being held back, if you seriously want them regardless, you're gonna have to allow proposed updates | 01:10 |
| UberN00b | how can i run exe files ? | 01:10 |
| JoeMaverickSett | j800r, oh! ok. | 01:11 |
| j800r | JoeMaverickSett, just go to system, admin, software sources, then select the updates tab. you'll find the option there | 01:11 |
| icemaker | wiesshund: ok i`ll try it and come back | 01:11 |
| JoeMaverickSett | j800r, thank you. | 01:11 |
| j800r | although personally i'd recommend against it. i updates the kernel and kinda regret it | 01:11 |
| j800r | *updated | 01:11 |
| glick | i FINALLY got my family Mom and brothers using Ubuntu as their main PC in the living room | 01:12 |
| JoeMaverickSett | j800r, ok. ;) i just want to try. | 01:12 |
| j800r | so is anyone able to help me regarding my hard drive issue? | 01:12 |
| bastid_raZor | j800r: you'll need to add an entry to /etc/fstab for the drive to be mounted automatically. | 01:12 |
| trism | JoeMaverickSett: you don't need to add proposed, if you don't see the updates now, they should be there soon (I can see them finally) | 01:12 |
| === crow is now known as Guest58184 | ||
| j800r | ahh, ok | 01:12 |
| glick | what a relief, not having to fix their stupid windows problems all the time, and slowdowns from all the viruses and trojans my mom would invariably download | 01:13 |
| glick | now i actually trust it to back up my important data | 01:13 |
| glick | and my mom is loving it | 01:13 |
| UberN00b | hey guys, how can i run a exe file ? | 01:13 |
| j800r | bastid_raZor, if i reinstalled ubuntu after formatting the storage drive to ext4, would i be able to install ubuntu to my main hd, and then set my home partition to be on my storage drive? | 01:13 |
| glick | she thinks its much better and simpler then windows | 01:13 |
| ulster | exit | 01:13 |
| glick | UberN00b, try Wine | 01:14 |
| trojan_spike | lol @ glick | 01:14 |
| glick | UberN00b, linux doesnt natively run windows .exe files | 01:14 |
| bastid_raZor | j800r: yes, but if you're reinstalling just to move your /home to a different partition yo udon't have to. | 01:14 |
| theholder | erm | 01:14 |
| UberN00b | glick, the problem is that its an add in to office 2007 | 01:14 |
| wiesshund | icemaker, http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ndiswrapper/index.php?title=Main_Page | 01:14 |
| cablop | what is the name of the thing that makes the startup animation in ubuntu? | 01:15 |
| UberN00b | glick, im trying to run the SaveAsPDF.exe and wine cant touch it | 01:15 |
| trojan_spike | UberN00b, have u got office 07 installed?? | 01:15 |
| glick | UberN00b, FTW?! you dont need that in linux | 01:15 |
| theholder | i am using ubuntu server 9.10 32bit and its refusing to find some headers | 01:15 |
| theholder | :| | 01:15 |
| j800r | well, it would be for that purpose, but i haven't finished setting my ubuntu system up yet so it wouldn't be a HUGE deal to reinstall and i'm sure it'd be easier to set the directory that way | 01:15 |
| glick | open office can do all that and more by default | 01:15 |
| UberN00b | trojan_spike of course :D | 01:15 |
| glick | lol SaveAsPDF is an add on | 01:16 |
| ilovefairuz | hall: this needs to be in /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/468227/ | 01:16 |
| glick | is SaveWithoutManglingYourData.exe an extra add on as well? | 01:16 |
| trojan_spike | and i just wont let u save it as a pdf?? | 01:16 |
| wiesshund | UberN00b, why are you using msoffice under linux? | 01:16 |
| UberN00b | glick, yeah but it appears that there is some discrepancy between the formating of ms office and open office | 01:16 |
| ilovefairuz | hall: but i can't find the correct driver name for your usb card | 01:16 |
| glick | yeah UberN00b msoffice is completely unecessary | 01:16 |
| UberN00b | and when i open docs made in ms office with open office the text is scrumbled | 01:17 |
| glick | UberN00b, OO.org can read 99% of office files correctly | 01:17 |
| glick | especially the older files | 01:17 |
| glick | UberN00b, what kina document is it? | 01:17 |
| UberN00b | doc | 01:17 |
| glick | what was it made with? | 01:17 |
| trojan_spike | glick, anything else unnecessary?? | 01:17 |
| Daekdroom | doc? it should read doc with no problems | 01:18 |
| glick | trojan_spike, ? | 01:18 |
| UberN00b | it doe read it correctly but the page is .. ermm smaller | 01:18 |
| trojan_spike | never mind | 01:18 |
| UberN00b | and i adjusted it to be A4 size | 01:18 |
| hall | ilovefairuz sry i got disconnected what did you say before about something in a hostapd file ? | 01:18 |
| JoeMaverickSett | but then if you use OO.org presentation file *.odp, it won't run on msoffice. | 01:18 |
| glick | so save presentations in the office presentation format | 01:19 |
| glick | oo.org can save as MS doc formats | 01:19 |
| trojan_spike | UberN00b, what u can do is open the doc with-in open office.. edit , then save it from open office as a pdf.. open it pdf reader then | 01:19 |
| JoeMaverickSett | will it work as good as it's on msoffice | 01:19 |
| ilovefairuz | hall: basically you need to do four things: a) install and configure hostapd 2) install and configure dnsmasq 3) set static IP for wlan0 4) set up IP masquerading | 01:20 |
| glick | JoeMaverickSett, will what work as good? | 01:20 |
| Mogga | question - if i mount the same drive from a host machine in multiple VMs am i going to cause trouble if everybody's writing? any file locking etc. issues? | 01:20 |
| JoeMaverickSett | glick, using OO.org presentation to save as ms file type. | 01:20 |
| trojan_spike | lots of trouble.. read / write | 01:20 |
| ilovefairuz | hall: i think there was a firewall program that could many of these things, firestarter ? | 01:20 |
| glick | JoeMaverickSett, i think so | 01:20 |
| UberN00b | trojan_spike, thanks but i tried that. The thing is that I am working on my cv and certain ammount of information HAS to be on 1 page and oo.org's page is just not big enough | 01:20 |
| glick | JoeMaverickSett, it should | 01:20 |
| JoeMaverickSett | glick, okie, thanks. | 01:20 |
| hall | ilovefairuz it's a headlesss ubuntu server installation so can't use firestarter | 01:21 |
| Mogga | trojan_spike: so i should export from one VM (fileserver) and mount everwhere else? | 01:21 |
| glick | JoeMaverickSett, when i worked at boeing it was good enough for our presentations | 01:21 |
| ilovefairuz | hall: well then go the manual route as outlined | 01:21 |
| Mogga | nfs etc | 01:21 |
| trojan_spike | 1 at a time Mogga | 01:21 |
| Saturn2888 | is the reason the UUIDs are the same for linux_raid_member drives so mdadm knows which drives go together? | 01:21 |
| ilovefairuz | hall: the conf files for hostapd and dnsmasq can be very very minimal | 01:21 |
| JoeMaverickSett | glick, cool. i sometime kinda like OO.org presentation more. ;) more helpful in setting up the presentation. | 01:21 |
| trojan_spike | UberN00b, did u install ms-office with 'play on linux'? | 01:21 |
| R3cur51v3 | Can anyone recommend a good webcam recorder? Cheese lags. | 01:22 |
| hall | ilovefairuz could you guide me through what i need to do or where to start ? :) | 01:22 |
| glick | JoeMaverickSett, heh its come a long a way since StarOffice | 01:22 |
| glick | which was god aweful | 01:22 |
| ilovefairuz | hall: this is an example of hostapd.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/468227/ .. but I can't find the correct name of the driver for rt73usb | 01:22 |
| glick | lol the early versions | 01:22 |
| JoeMaverickSett | glick, :D | 01:22 |
| UberN00b | trojan_spike, im not sure I used wine with winetricks + the guidance of the #winehq people, cant recall anything named "play on linux" | 01:22 |
| glick | oo.org has grown up :'( | 01:23 |
| Mogga | trojan_spike: only mount one drive at a time as a local mount /dev/vda /dev/vdb etc. but then i can do nfs exports etc and nfs/samba/etc mount on other machines? | 01:23 |
| ilovefairuz | hall: next is dnsmasq.conf.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/468228/ (notice the choosen network range) make sure that doesn't conflict with something you have | 01:23 |
| trojan_spike | UberN00b, u should use play on linux to install windows software.. | 01:23 |
| glick | once you get used to it, ubuntu, is a much simpler system to use than windows | 01:24 |
| glick | i dont know if thats still true | 01:24 |
| icemaker | wiesshund: i am trying to install it like u said . what files shoud i intall? .sys/.cat/.inf? | 01:24 |
| glick | i havent tried 7 | 01:24 |
| ilovefairuz | hall: third is setting static IP and stuff (192.168.2.1) for wlan0 in /etc/network/interfaces | 01:24 |
| Mogga | trojan_spike: thank you by the way... i'm actually on canonical support but my package doesn't support any virtualization even though this is really just a basic IO question | 01:24 |
| glick | but i remember i hated vista | 01:24 |
| UberN00b | torjan_spike, so you think that wine doesnt run it properly ? | 01:24 |
| glick | i've been only running linux since '01 | 01:24 |
| ilovefairuz | hall: fourth is enabling ipv4 forwarding and setting ip tables to forward packages | 01:25 |
| trojan_spike | UberN00b, 'play on linux' was made by the developers that made wine.. This will improve the way windows software work on wine.. | 01:26 |
| ilovefairuz | hall: http://users.utu.fi/sjsepp/hostapd/hostap.html covers a LOT of these | 01:26 |
| trojan_spike | u want the link?? | 01:26 |
| ilovefairuz | hall: adapt to your needs | 01:26 |
| glick | would be nice if they released civ5 on linux as well | 01:26 |
| glick | but i know itll never happen | 01:26 |
| glick | :/ | 01:26 |
| UberN00b | trojan_spike I've been referred to improved versions of wine before, unfortunately paid software, is that the case as well ? | 01:27 |
| theholder | snowy17 | 01:27 |
| theholder | lawl | 01:27 |
| hall | ilovefairuz i'll look into it. shame it just doesnt work with mode master that way it would work allrdy :(( but thx for the help | 01:27 |
| ilovefairuz | hall: the process is rather lengthy but not hard | 01:27 |
| theholder | busy room | 01:27 |
| ilovefairuz | hall: you're welcome | 01:27 |
| trojan_spike | do u mean u paid for wine?? or paid for something like 'crossover'?? | 01:27 |
| UberN00b | someone tried to convince me to pay for something other than wine | 01:28 |
| j800r | UberN00b, cedega? | 01:28 |
| UberN00b | but now i got wine free, but is play on linux free as well ? | 01:28 |
| adamkex | UberN00b: yes | 01:28 |
| j800r | i was about to get to that | 01:28 |
| wiesshund | does WUBI not allow you to do an actualy naitive linux install? | 01:28 |
| trojan_spike | UberN00b, this is ur link :: http://www.playonlinux.com/script_files/PlayOnLinux/3.7.6/PlayOnLinux_3.7.6.deb :: trust me,, it will make things easier | 01:29 |
| UberN00b | j800r, i think not, not sure though | 01:29 |
| Odd-rationale | wiesshund: suspend for one thing. | 01:29 |
| Kunin | when trying to upgrade 9.10->10.04 I get this error: The package 'skype-common' is marked for removal but it is in the removal blacklist. | 01:29 |
| j800r | yes, PlayOnLinux is a frontend for Wine, and it's brilliant | 01:29 |
| snowy17 | Erm. Hi? | 01:29 |
| j800r | it's actually kinda better than Cedega, and it's free | 01:29 |
| wiesshund | Odd-rationale, hmm? | 01:29 |
| j800r | anyways, time to format one huge drive. | 01:29 |
| adamkex | Kunin: unblacklist it then, there should be a function in synaptic | 01:29 |
| Odd-rationale | wiesshund: suspend and hibernate don't work well in WUBI. | 01:29 |
| Kunin | adamkex I would looking for a blacklist option, but couldn't find one | 01:30 |
| wiesshund | Odd-rationale, no im asking if there is not a way to do a real linux install fromt he win installer? | 01:30 |
| adamkex | Kunin: ok hold on, let me look into it | 01:30 |
| wiesshund | Odd-rationale, or only the compressed pseudo install in the win file system | 01:30 |
| oliver_ | which it's best of kdenlive, cinelerra or openshot? | 01:30 |
| icemaker | wiesshund: ndiswrapper tells me the driver is invalid | 01:30 |
| mgolisch | !best | 01:31 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 01:31 |
| UberN00b | trojan_spike, thanks im on it now | 01:31 |
| wiesshund | icemaker, then that driver wont work, and possibly the card is not supported | 01:31 |
| kerebrus | Any one know how to restore xserverp-xorg? I installed pulsbo on the direction of ubuntu wiki and it unstalled the devault compiz drivers, but now my computer doesnt load into ubuntu just sits a black screen | 01:31 |
| trojan_spike | ur welcome UberN00b | 01:31 |
| Kunin | adamkex I would thinking of just doing a --purge on skype | 01:31 |
| Odd-rationale | wiesshund: oh. misread... You can move the wubi install to a linux partition. thus making it just like a native install. | 01:31 |
| lewis1711 | is there some trick to get inbuilt microphones in laptops working, or is linux unable to do this? I selected everything in my sound control and turned it up, but nothing | 01:31 |
| snowy17 | Is theholder in here? | 01:31 |
| theholder | no | 01:32 |
| adamkex | Kunin: go ahead, you can redownload it on skype.com, it doesn't seem to be in the repos, just do a "dpkg -i skype_whatever.deb" to install it | 01:32 |
| icemaker | wiesshund: so nothing i can do to get it working? | 01:32 |
| wiesshund | Odd-rationale, so the answer is no it wont do a real install. meh hehe | 01:32 |
| wiesshund | icemaker, then if the mfg provides no linux driver, no the device probably isnt going to work | 01:33 |
| Kunin | adamkex ok, I'll try that, thanks | 01:33 |
| === emc_ is now known as emc | ||
| icemaker | wiesshund: mega bummer . thanks anyway | 01:34 |
| adamkex | Kunin: oh, you need add sudo before dpkg when installing again, good luck | 01:34 |

| wx9j | my machine keeps freezing up , I then need to do a soft reboot to get it back, how can I trace the source of the problem ? | 01:38 |
| ejv | wx9j: dmesg | 01:39 |
| Iam_360_ | what was that? | 01:39 |
| Niglop | /ns id jagexred | 01:39 |
| Kunin | what ejv said | 01:39 |
| Niglop | FUCK | 01:39 |
| EvilPhoenix | !language | Niglop | 01:39 |
| ubottu | Niglop: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 01:39 |
| Iam_360_ | some kind of monkey! | 01:39 |
| bazhang | Niglop, watch the language | 01:39 |
| Kunin | though dmesg | tail is probably easier to look at | 01:39 |
| ilovefairuz | lol @ the two pwds | 01:40 |
| Niglop | how do i change my password? | 01:40 |
| bazhang | Niglop, ask in #freenode | 01:40 |
| ejv | passwd | 01:40 |
| EvilPhoenix | anyways... anyone here know if the logging location for iptables can be changed? | 01:40 |
| ilovefairuz | Niglop: join #freenode, request sendpass | 01:40 |
| ejv | or /msg nickserv help setpass | 01:41 |
| ejv | dunno why you'd bother staff with such a meaningless problem lol | 01:41 |
| Kunin | wx9j have you changed/installed anything since this freeze started happening? | 01:41 |
| === emc_ is now known as emc | ||
| === les is now known as Guest66607 | ||
| * uRock thinks | 01:42 | |
| Kunin | wx9j it could be hardware related too | 01:42 |
| Solow-Laptop | Why is webchat.freenode.net being detected as proxy? | 01:42 |
| wx9j | Kunin, I have changed versions of the os but then changed back to see if that was the cause, it was not difference | 01:42 |
| wx9j | Kunin, It almost acks like it is running out of mem but this box has 2 gig | 01:43 |
| Kunin | wx9j in my experience, most freezes and crashes are hardware related, normally RAM or PSU failure | 01:43 |
| EvilPhoenix | Solow-Laptop: its not the webchat thats being detected, its you. it checks your IP afaik | 01:43 |
| ejv | could be "ghosts in the machine" like iRobot | 01:43 |
| ejv | ;) | 01:43 |
| wx9j | PSU ? | 01:43 |
| Kunin | wx9j do you have your ubuntu install disk still? | 01:43 |
| uRock | wx9j, do you have htop installed? | 01:43 |
| Kunin | PSU = power supply unit | 01:43 |
| Solow-Laptop | EvilPhoenix: But I'm not using a proxy :S | 01:43 |
| administrator | xcx | 01:44 |
| les_ | test | 01:44 |
| EvilPhoenix | Solow-Laptop: there's always #freenode where you can ask | 01:44 |
| wx9j | haha Yes I have most of the Ubuntu discs around here , I am now using 9.10 | 01:44 |
| === administrator is now known as Guest74867 | ||
| Iam_360_ | :) furious | 01:44 |
| Kunin | wx9j the ubuntu install disk has memtest on it, could run that and see if there's RAM failure if you can't find any software cause, or just download memtest86+ and burn to CD | 01:44 |
| wx9j | uRock, not even sure what that is | 01:44 |
| les_ | Can someone help me with Pitivi Video Editor? | 01:44 |
| Kunin | htop is a nice CLI to view things like memory/cpu usage and running processes | 01:45 |
| uRock | it is a system monitor that runs in terminal and tells what utilities are using how much CPU and RAM | 01:45 |
| Kunin | it's like top, but prettier | 01:45 |
| Solow-Laptop | btw I must say, I like ubuntu 9 better than 10 | 01:45 |
| mylky | hello | 01:45 |
| les_ | hello, mylky | 01:45 |
| uRock | which version 9? | 01:45 |
| wx9j | I will do that , I did check that a few weeks ago but will try again, what version has that test on the cd ? | 01:45 |
| Kunin | solow-laptop shhhh... I'm upgrading to 10.04 now | 01:45 |
| Kunin | wx9j every one that I can think of has it on there, it's one of the boot options | 01:46 |
| uRock | Kunin, it is worth it. It is beautiful. | 01:46 |
| ilovefairuz | EvilPhoenix: http://www.mail-archive.com/gentoo-security@lists.gentoo.org/msg00367.html ? | 01:46 |
| mylky | I want to switch from debian too ubuntu but my CD drive is down and my bios sees out of date. | 01:46 |
| wx9j | Ok well I wll do that and thanks, | 01:46 |
| Kunin | wx9j it might say test memory, test ram, memtest... something like that, I don't remember | 01:46 |
| mylky | I cant do a live usb. | 01:46 |
| les_ | Does anyone know how to edit a video in Pitivi and save as ogv? | 01:46 |
| mylky | how can i flash my bios upto date ? | 01:46 |
| Solow-Laptop | I'm not upgrading on my laptop... It's removing my wlan support. Which I've been fighting to get working for 2 weeks. btw I'm using 9.10 | 01:46 |
| wx9j | same here, my own memory seems to need replacing, thanks | 01:46 |
| uRock | mylky, if your Debian install is working, then you can use unetbootin | 01:47 |
| Kunin | I'm going to 10.04 mainly for the new kernel, my main OS drive is a SSD | 01:47 |
| Solow-Laptop | I only use my laptop to program. | 01:47 |
| Solow-Laptop | So it could just as well be windows 3.01 | 01:48 |
| uRock | Solow-Laptop, I loved Karmic and I still have it on the wife and kid's systems | 01:48 |
| les_ | CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH PITIVI?? | 01:48 |
| Kunin | btw, anyone know how I can shrink a partition and grow another... when i installed the netbook remix on my Eee I accidentally swapped the intended partition sizes, root is running out of space | 01:48 |
| * uRock Thinks it is time to get back to my homework. | 01:48 | |
| uRock | Kunin, LiveCD and Gparted | 01:49 |
| rileyp | 4th post from bottom is http://code.google.com/p/mythpodcaster/issues/detail?id=28 what I owuld liek to do can anyone help me | 01:49 |
| Kunin | uRock there would be the problem, Eee, no CD drive | 01:49 |
| uRock | That would be a problem. | 01:49 |
| ilovefairuz | mylky: depends on the BIOS vendor, check their website | 01:49 |

| programble | how can i get ubuntu on a USB stick from Arch? | 01:52 |
| programble | i have been trying unsuccessfully for 10 hours | 01:52 |
| bazhang | programble, unetbootin | 01:52 |
| programble | bazhang: unetbootin is broken | 01:52 |
| Kunin | arg, an hour to install all these new packages... guess I'll go to the dishes | 01:52 |
| programble | hasn't worked for months | 01:52 |
| bazhang | programble, not so | 01:52 |
| programble | bazhang: i just tried with unetbootin, and the BIOS does not even see the USB as bootable | 01:53 |
| EvilPhoenix | ilovefairuz: thats for gentoo, i need it for Ubuntu | 01:53 |
| bazhang | programble, sometimes takes a couple of tries | 01:53 |
| avg_guy | i have a usb key thats not mounting when i plug it in how would i locate it ? | 01:53 |
| EvilPhoenix | anyone know where syslog configs are stored? | 01:53 |
| Kunin | programble: not all BIOS can boot off USB | 01:53 |
| trojan_spike | are there any good fan controls?? i have water cooling,, fans going 90 | 01:53 |
| ilovefairuz | EvilPhoenix: same concepts apply | 01:53 |
| EvilPhoenix | ilovefairuz: the file doesnt exist hence the issue | 01:54 |
| programble | Kunin: i know it can, im not an idiot | 01:54 |
| Kunin | programble: that or you could have done something wrong too :P | 01:54 |
| programble | well that is possible with how retarded unetbootin has gotten | 01:54 |
| ilovefairuz | EvilPhoenix: /etc/syslog.conf ? | 01:54 |

| ilovefairuz | EvilPhoenix: /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default | 01:56 |
| programble | the only thing i can think to do is to burn ubuntu onto a cd (which i DONT want to do, thats why im going for USB), boot it, then put it on usb from that | 01:56 |
| isw | bazhang: I am unfamilure with the linux directory tree system and was just wondering where to wget my teamspeak3 server to | 01:56 |

| programble | Oer: the usb is not bootable. | 01:57 |
| bazhang | isw, install teamspeak-client or -server from repos | 01:57 |
| zc00gii | programble: open it up in cfdisk and mark it bootable? | 01:57 |
| === tremmons is now known as iflema | ||
| ilovefairuz | EvilPhoenix: ubuntu obsoleted the older location and automatically migrates it | 01:57 |
| programble | it is marked bootable, but will not boot | 01:57 |
| isw | bazhang: ok thanks I did not know they had teamspeak3 server on the repos | 01:57 |
| EvilPhoenix | ilovefairuz: now to figure out what to add to make it log correctly o.o | 01:57 |
| programble | here look i'll check md5 | 01:58 |
| programble | md5 is fine | 01:58 |
| isw | bazhang: I don't th ink teamspeak3 is on the repos yet just ts2 | 01:58 |
| programble | any more ideas Oer? | 01:59 |

| anon_ | What do you mean | 02:05 |
| Jordan_U | programble: Then use unetbootin. | 02:05 |
| ilovefairuz | anon_: are all three "windows" the same ? | 02:05 |
| programble | Jordan_U: i like how the downloads page only has windows mac or ubuntu | 02:05 |
| programble | Jordan_U: that didn't work, as i said 3 times already | 02:06 |
| anon_ | If i open XChat, i get 3 of them in the tray | 02:06 |
| anon_ | IF i open FF, i get three of them in the tray | 02:06 |
| anon_ | but they're only 1 prog. | 02:06 |

| ilovefairuz | anon_: tray? or task bar? | 02:06 |

| programble | anon_: perhaps you have 3 trays? | 02:06 |
| anon_ | hmmm.. | 02:06 |
| anon_ | let me check | 02:07 |
| ilovefairuz | FF is not support to show any icons in the tray | 02:07 |

| programble | bazhang: i have unetbootin and it appears to work fine, but the usb will not boot | 02:08 |
| Jordan_U | programble: Some (broken) BIOSs will only boot a drive if it has an "active" partition on it, can you check if one of your partitions is "bootable" with fdisk? | 02:08 |
| programble | Jordan_U: again, already said, the partition is indeed marked with the boot flag | 02:08 |
| BidaBoy | how can i change my ip adress using an adsl connection? | 02:09 |
| Jordan_U | programble: Not sure where you'd post it, but if you can post the first sector of flash drive it would be usefull to be able to look at it. | 02:09 |
| ilovefairuz | BidaBoy: disconnect and reconnect | 02:09 |
| BidaBoy | why | 02:09 |

| Mr_Sonoma | ah | 03:12 |
| Mr_Sonoma | let me look again then LOL | 03:12 |
| subspider | wiesshund, thnks because i have lubuntu over there as print server | 03:13 |
| Kunin | hmm, this doesn't look good | 03:13 |
| Jordan_U | programble: This will only work if the unetbootin / startup disk creator app is doing things in what is IMHO the wrong way (aside from also being broken in your case). But try "install-mbr /dev/sdX". | 03:13 |
| Kunin | upgraded 9.10->10.04 now it's sitting at disk drive for /dev/md0 is not read yet or not present, I try to hit M as prompted to manually mount it but it does nothing | 03:13 |
| Kunin | in fact... it seems like my wireless keyboard isn't doing anything | 03:13 |
| programble | Jordan_U: happen to know what package that would be in on Arch? | 03:14 |
| subspider | i cant recive or send emails with evolution on hotmail acount | 03:16 |
| revarr | does anyone else have an acer aspire 5740 that has Ubuntu working with brightness control? | 03:16 |
| Sunzaru | anyone nkow how to get wine to run eve-online ? i've looked at some articles but can't get it to get past the splash screen | 03:16 |
| Kunin | ok... crap... wireless (logitech) keyboard not working, I don't have a physical connection to use temporarily, and system won't boot fully due to fstab/rdadm not auto-mounting my raid arrays... anyone have an idea? | 03:17 |
| subspider | Sunzaru, hi maybe i can help | 03:17 |
| sindegra | wiesshund: I figured it out. | 03:17 |
| sindegra | wiesshund: I just booted rebooted and started in tty1 | 03:18 |
| subspider | sindegra, nice :) | 03:18 |
| sindegra | although you have to edit not menu.lst if you have grub2 | 03:18 |
| wiesshund | sindegra, cool | 03:18 |
| thune3 | sindegra: oh you found a method, i was just testing one out... | 03:18 |
| sindegra | thune3: did it work? | 03:18 |
| thune3 | sindegra: i just moved /etc/init/gdm.conf to /etc/init/gdm.noexec . That prevented the gui from starting, and led right to terminal. | 03:19 |
| Jordan_U | programble: Not off hand, the project is unfortunately simply named "mbr" and source code can be found here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~neilt/ | 03:19 |
| Evolution-X | i have 3 diferent recovery at star up | 03:20 |
| Evolution-X | is that normal | 03:20 |
| Jordan_U | programble: I think that syslinux has similar boot sector code and a command to install it. | 03:20 |
| Mr_Sonoma | sindegra, good, i had just found a wiki on grub2 that i thought maybe would help. but now it looks like you dont need it LOL | 03:21 |
| sindegra | thune3: nice. I edited /etc/default/grub and added the text boot option, then ran sudo grub-update (I have grub2) | 03:21 |
| sindegra | Mr_Sonoma: figured it all out on my own. Apparently the boot options from grub1 are pretty much the same as grub2. | 03:22 |
| === hasen_ is now known as hasen | ||
| Jordan_U | programble: You can also just try chainloading the first partition from grub or any other bootloader. | 03:22 |
| === wildbat_laptop is now known as wildbat | ||
| Evolution-X | 3 diferent recivery at start up what thats mean ? | 03:22 |
| programble | Jordan_U: the computer i plan to use this on eventually will have windows 7 on it, so thats not an option | 03:23 |
| thune3 | sindegra: yeah, i think the text boot option is probably the best. Then "start gdm" will just launch your gui without intervention. | 03:23 |
| Mr_Sonoma | sindegra, yea but reading that wiki looks like menu.lst has been replaced by 2 files, one of witch is not user editable | 03:23 |
| Kk2 | why the new 64bits version are not for daily users? | 03:23 |
| === geowany is now known as The_Vampyre | ||
| programble | Jordan_U: it says this is not a bootable disk (trying in qemu) | 03:24 |
| sindegra | Mr_Sonoma: yes. the /etc/default/grub file is editable, which is the one I changed. | 03:24 |
| jats | Quick question: when I delete or move files, df and nautilus don't report any more free space, even after a reboot. What's happening? | 03:24 |
| Jordan_U | programble: I meant to test it out. Basically you currently have no boot code at all in your mbr, a microsoft style mbr just chainloads the first partition marked "active". | 03:24 |
| wiesshund | jats, did you empty the trash bin? | 03:24 |
| jats | wiesshund: yep. | 03:24 |
| programble | Jordan_U: i think im just going to have to burn a cd, boot it, then use the usb creation tool | 03:25 |
| jats | Kk2: Not all computers support 64-bit Operating systems like Ubuntu. Also, some drivers and programs don't work on 64-bit linux. | 03:26 |
| === Zeike is now known as brandonj | ||
| ericthehax | i have a g-pen f610 and whenever i "click" (press the pen tip) it will then act weird until i pull the pen out of range | 03:26 |
| bazhang | Kk2, that's a poorly worded web page. 64bits is fine | 03:27 |
| Jordan_U | programble: If unetbootin and Ubuntu's tool really aren't writing a bootable mbr (simply assuming that a microsoft style one already exists, which to be fair is true for most drives) then it's a bug that needs to be fixed. If you could confirm that this is the case it would be helpfull. | 03:27 |
| jats | This probably is redundant, but other programs are reporting they can't write to disk either. | 03:27 |
| programble | Jordan_U: at this point i think the usb creator didn't work because i was runing it on arch.. it required a fair bit of hacking to even get it to half work | 03:28 |
| matthew__ | what is the ubuntu equivalent of asoundconf? | 03:28 |
| Jordan_U | programble: What about unetbootin though? | 03:28 |
| jats | Kk2, bazhang is right, it should probably be worded "not recommended for people unsure if their computer supports 64-bit programing. | 03:28 |
| programble | Jordan_U: i have no idea | 03:28 |
| thune3 | jats: i suspect your fs has errors and needs to be fsck-ed. You can look at dmesg log or /var/log/syslog for your drive letter to see if an error is reported. | 03:28 |
| Jordan_U | programble: That should work fine in arch. | 03:28 |
| newubuntu10_04us | I just installed Ubuntu for the first time and I'm trying to figure out a few things. I hope this is the place to com to find patient people that have answers...:) The first thing I'm trying to do is run a program SpyNoMore from http://spynomore.com and I can't seem to get it to install. I'm starting there, because my computer had a VERY stubborn virus that required removing the partitions from the fixed disk...so welcome t | 03:29 |
| jats | thune3: thanks, I'll try that. | 03:29 |
| rileyp | http://pastebin.com/b95Bd1QY can anyone help me do that? | 03:29 |
| programble | newubuntu10_04us: anti-spyware is not needed on ubuntu | 03:29 |
| Jordan_U | programble: If you wait a minute I can give you a small disk image that you can use to test my theory in qemu. | 03:29 |
| programble | Jordan_U: sure | 03:30 |
| oaf | how to safely remove u stick with command? | 03:30 |
| newubuntu10_04us | I love your confidence programable. | 03:30 |
| programble | newubuntu10_04us: ask anyone :P | 03:30 |
| Mr_Sonoma | newubuntu10_04us, is that a windows program? ubuntu is not windows ;) | 03:30 |
| jats | newubuntu10_04us: I don't think any anti-spyware apps run on Ubuntu. | 03:30 |
| sindegra | newubuntu10_04us: it seems incredible but true. you really don't need spyware. | 03:30 |
| sindegra | newubuntu10_04us: and not only because all the spyware is focused on windows platforms | 03:31 |
| newubuntu10_04us | So, does that mean there are no apps developed? I don't know if it's windows only or not. That is why I came here. I figured someone would either know or be able to direct me to a valuable product. | 03:31 |
| jats | newubuntu: Unfortunately, I don't think you can automatically remove spyware from a windows partition from within Ubuntu. | 03:31 |
| bastidrazor | oaf: umount /path/to/usbstick | 03:31 |
| Mr_Sonoma | newubuntu10_04us, you don't need anti spyware on ubuntu | 03:31 |
| sindegra | newubuntu10_04us: there's like linux spyware discovered once ever 5 years | 03:31 |
| sindegra | newubuntu10_04us: or probably less! | 03:32 |
| newubuntu10_04us | jats: my windows partition is GONE...I removed the whole partition table before booting to the U disk. | 03:32 |
| programble | newubuntu10_04us: then you dont need anti-spyware or anti-virus | 03:32 |
| oaf | bastidrazor: i use that command but it's is different with i click in a gui | 03:32 |
| Mr_Sonoma | newubuntu10_04us, then install ubuntu and have no fear! :D | 03:32 |
| bazhang | newubuntu10_04us, you can install a rootkit hunter if you wish. there is ZERO need for anti-spyware | 03:32 |
| revarr | does anyone else have an acer aspire 5740 that has Ubuntu working with brightness control? | 03:32 |
| jats | newubuntu10_04: Ubuntu can be used to fix Windows partitions, so that's what I thought you might have been doing. | 03:32 |
| Jordan_U | programble: http://jordanu.dyndns.org/tmp/chainload.iso use it as a virtual CD. | 03:33 |
| bastidrazor | oaf: how so? do both methods unmount the usb stick? | 03:33 |
| newubuntu10_04us | Mr_Sonoma I'm running from my new Ubuntu installation right now. | 03:33 |
| ssbpls | i am back | 03:33 |
| oaf | bastidrazor: i test this two method , the command way can not completely remove u stick | 03:34 |
| ssbpls | what's the best movie player for ubuntu? | 03:34 |
| programble | Jordan_U: what exactly do you want me to do? | 03:34 |
| sindegra | ssbpls: mplayer, maybe? | 03:34 |
| newubuntu10_04us | bazhang: Is there one you'd recommend? Or a site with sw recommendations? | 03:34 |
| bastidrazor | oaf: can you be more specific? | 03:34 |
| ssbpls | ok | 03:34 |
| jats | ssbpls: vlc, probably. | 03:34 |
| bazhang | newubuntu10_04us, from the repos chkrootkit and rkhunter | 03:35 |
| ssbpls | use the ubuntu tweek to get it? | 03:35 |
| bazhang | !software > newubuntu10_04us | 03:35 |
| ubottu | newubuntu10_04us, please see my private message | 03:35 |
| bazhang | newubuntu10_04us, you should really have a read of the ubuntu manual | 03:35 |
| oaf | bastidrazor: i have said it.that command can not safely remove u stick like clicking in a gui | 03:35 |
| bazhang | !manual | newubuntu10_04us | 03:35 |
| ubottu | newubuntu10_04us: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 03:35 |
| newubuntu10_04us | bazhang: Awesome...thanks!! | 03:35 |
| jats | ssbpls: VLC does audio just as well and is cross-platform (if you run other OS's) | 03:36 |
| Jordan_U | programble: qemu -cdrom chainload.iso /dev/sdX | 03:36 |
| newubuntu10_04us | <<<< Thanks bazhang!! | 03:36 |
| revarr | guess not | 03:36 |
| ssbpls | jats:thank u ,in my computer,i have there OS | 03:36 |
| ssbpls | jats:three | 03:37 |
| programble | Jordan_U: it wont boot from the CD with the USB in there :\ | 03:37 |
| jats | ssbpls: you're welcome! | 03:37 |
| bastidrazor | oaf: explain how it does not. umount is the command to unmount drives/partitions | 03:37 |
| oaf | bastidrazor: i click that icon of u stick and select safely remove.the folder in /media/u disappear.but when i use command, the folder still at there. | 03:39 |
| iluminator101 | when i tried to install ubuntu 10.04 i got this error gblib error 323 | 03:39 |
| iluminator101 | what is that | 03:39 |
| bastidrazor | oaf: what is the exact command your using? | 03:39 |
| oaf | of cause umount !! | 03:39 |
| sindegra | oaf: maybe try copy-pasting what you put in and the results you got from that | 03:40 |
| Jordan_U | programble: It should. If it isn't then try "kvm -cdrom chainload.iso -hda /dev/sdX -boot d" | 03:40 |
| oaf | no | 03:40 |
| iluminator101 | when i tried to install ubuntu 10.04 i got this error gblib error 323 | 03:40 |
| oaf | sindegra: no | 03:40 |
| programble | Jordan_U: my CPU doesn't support KVM | 03:40 |
| Spaztic_One | How can I view the screen, or at least what was said, that is there immediately before login? | 03:41 |
| oaf | sindegra: i have stop all progress | 03:41 |
| bastidrazor | oaf umount by itself can not magically determine what you want to unmount. you have to tell it what to do. | 03:41 |
| oaf | bastidrazor: god, i of cause use that command , umount /media/u | 03:41 |
| oaf | bastidrazor: is it right? | 03:42 |
| programble | Jordan_U: i had this other idea. do you know how to get a vm in vbox see my usb stick? | 03:42 |
| Kunin | hmm, after upgrading to 10.04 one of my drives isn't mounting which breaks my raid array... | 03:42 |
| bastidrazor | oaf: yes, did the icon disappear from your desktop? unless you've changed things anything mounted in /media will appear there. | 03:42 |
| oaf | bastidrazor: i have said that it have not disappeared | 03:43 |
| programble | Jordan_U: also, with the chainloader iso, it still says its not a bootable disk | 03:43 |
| oaf | bastidrazor: so i think that command is different with click gui | 03:44 |
| iluminator101 | when i tried to install ubuntu 10.04 i got this error glib error 323 | 03:44 |
| * programble gives up | 03:44 | |
| newubuntu10_04us | bazhang: I can't seem to figure out where chkrootkit put it's icon or perhaps it runs from the terminal? | 03:44 |
| programble | i have spent literally all day and some of last night trying to do this | 03:44 |
| bastidrazor | oaf: read the manpage of umount: man umount | 03:44 |
| bazhang | newubuntu10_04us, its a terminal (cli ) program, just type the name and let it run; there may be a false positive or so, don;t be alarmed | 03:45 |
| oaf | bastidrazor: ok, i have read it. | 03:45 |
| === an is now known as Guest98707 | ||
| Jordan_U | programble: If this works then it's just a matter of installing "mbr" in archlinux. | 03:45 |
| newubuntu10_04us | bazhang: cool | 03:45 |
| oaf | bastidrazor: ok, forget it | 03:45 |
| oaf | bastidrazor: i google it | 03:45 |
| bastidrazor | oaf: okay, best of luck. | 03:46 |

| * uRock Exiting stage left.... | 03:56 | |
| tensorpudding | PureSine: it means, use chmod +x jd.sh in the terminal | 03:57 |
| tensorpudding | that adds execution permissions to the file | 03:57 |
| PureSine | thanks, I try that | 03:57 |
| programble | Jordan_U: yes, it is. after i choose the "chainload blah blah" from the menu, it says that | 03:58 |

| bastidrazor | nullwire: probably /etc/fstab | 04:07 |
| ssbpls | OK | 04:07 |
| wiesshund | tensorpudding, well of course we all know the answer to that is mango | 04:08 |
| dualbus | ssbpls: If you want a full IDE, try using Netbeans with C/C++ plugin. Else, use gedit + gcc | 04:08 |
| nullwire | yeah just found my way there. any idea what to do in /etc/fstab? | 04:08 |
| tensorpudding | it's not really possible to completely describe what a blueberry tastes like on IRC. | 04:08 |
| nullwire | smbmount looks like smbmount //server/share /localdir -o username=user,password=pass | 04:08 |
| tensorpudding | or why you should consider it when there are strawberries | 04:08 |
| sindegra | wiesshund: I have to agree with that. Mango is darn tasty. | 04:08 |
| nullwire | can i just paste that in fstab? | 04:08 |
| thune3 | Bogus8: thi instructions here (which should use checkinstall instead of make install) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1310511, seem to indicate that the first command you give to fuppes is 'r', and 'v' to set things up. I'm no expert and just refer you to instructions on that page. | 04:08 |
| PureSine | well I tried to change the permission of the downloaded file but after running that nothing happened. maybe I don't have wget on my system as it had been indicated. anyway I don't find any executable file in its address https://launchpad.net/~jd-team/+archive/jdownloader, as I said I'm ubuntu first user and I am not familiar with extensions like gz,.... I was looking for .exe files | 04:09 |
| bastidrazor | nullwire: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently | 04:09 |
| Bogus8 | thune3: thanks for the effort but you probably got to that page because of my post which is the last one referring to this problem | 04:09 |
| Bogus8 | google was amazingly fast indexing that page (less than 20 mins after I posted) | 04:10 |
| nullwire | tyvm | 04:10 |
| Bogus8 | thune3: that IS the guide that I followed :( | 04:10 |
| Spaztic_One | bastidrazor: What does quiet splash do? | 04:10 |
| sindegra | PureSine: linux doesn't use .exe files to indicate executables. | 04:10 |
| nullwire | lastly, when i type name: message in irc does it automatically highlight it for the person im sending to? | 04:10 |
| thune3 | Bogus8: i actaully got there through http://fuppes.ulrich-voelkel.de/wiki/index.php?title=Compiling_on_Ubuntu_Linux | 04:10 |
| sindegra | PureSine: a file has either the permission +x (executable) or not | 04:10 |
| Bogus8 | thune3: same as me then | 04:11 |
| nullwire | nullwire: test | 04:11 |
| sindegra | PureSine: if it does you run it in the terminal with ./filename when you're in the correct directory | 04:11 |
| PureSine | sindegra, can you tell me where in the address should I click to get jdownwloader please ? | 04:11 |

| top | hello, I have a problem where I put ubuntu into hibernate and I pull it out of Hibernate and have no internet connection. can any one help me im new to ubuntu | 04:11 |
| josue | ola | 04:12 |
| Spaztic_One | bastidrazor: Ah, ok. Is there any way to review what all that text was after boot? | 04:12 |
| blendmaster1024_ | nullwire, yes | 04:12 |
| blendmaster1024_ | nullwire, except for yourself :) | 04:13 |
| nullwire | ah, ty :) | 04:13 |
| sindegra | PureSine, that's a link to the ppa. | 04:13 |
| nullwire | thanks ubuntu chat, ur always handy | 04:13 |
| sindegra | PureSine: you can use apt-get to get your jdownloader if you add the ppa to your sources.lst | 04:13 |
| PureSine | oh that's getiing more complex do I need to download apt-get too | 04:14 |
| josue | alguem sabe como ativar os efeitos visuais no ubuntu 10.4 | 04:14 |
| josue | ? | 04:14 |
| sindegra | PureSine: you already have apt-get, or at least you should | 04:14 |
| bastidrazor | Spaztic_One: you need to enable bootlogging. edit /etc/default/bootlogd and change BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=No to Yes.. when you boot a log will be created in /var/log/boot | 04:15 |
| mrec | is there any way to temporary disable the screensaver? it's a little bit annoying that the system goes into standby when watching TV | 04:15 |
| sindegra | PureSine: you can actually get wget by doing the following: sudo apt-get install wget | 04:15 |
| tensorpudding | !es | josue | 04:15 |
| ubottu | josue: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 04:15 |
| PureSine | sindegra, you mean I type that in terminal ? | 04:15 |
| Spaztic_One | bastidrazor: Thank you. So, if that was not enabled, there is no way to see all of the messages? | 04:15 |
| sindegra | PureSine: yeah. Although maybe apt-get uses wget. I dunno anymore | 04:15 |
| sindegra | PureSine: try it anyway | 04:16 |
| bastidrazor | Spaztic_One: nothing has been logged previous to enabling this so no record of previous boots. | 04:16 |
| Spaztic_One | bastidrazor: what about the current boot? | 04:16 |
| bastidrazor | Spaztic_One: same. | 04:16 |
| Spaztic_One | bastidrazor: Alright, thank you. Reason why I'm asking about this is because I saw something listed as "failed" and wanted to know what it was. | 04:17 |

| blendmaster1024_ | anyone know a way to record the sound coming out of an arbitrary alsa program into audacity or something similar? my sound card doesn't have a loopback device. | 04:17 |
| Spaztic_One | bastidrazor: Oh, do I need to update anything for the bootlogd like I did for changing grub's settings? | 04:19 |
| ManiDhillon | hi | 04:19 |

| jaimed | blitzo /boot/grub/grub.cfg has that info | 04:41 |
| jaimed | however it's automatically modified by update-grub script | 04:41 |

| jaimed | blitzo if you run update-grub you will overwrite any changes you've made | 04:42 |

| sindegra | PureSine: now when you save it it should work. | 04:48 |
| cablop | mmmm... can i use the remote ubuntu desktop as a replacement of logmein? i was reading and it seems to be insecure | 04:48 |
| jaimed | bullgard4, that's a database with all knnown vulnerabilites for software | 04:48 |
| PureSine | sindegra, yes I have but one question how can I copy paste I mean in windows shortcut is ctrl+c | 04:48 |
| bullgard4 | jaimed: How can access this database? | 04:49 |
| cablop | i wanted to use the nomachine thing, but it seems to not to access to an existing graphic session | 04:49 |
| bullgard4 | jaimed: How can I access this database? | 04:49 |
| sindegra | Same as ubuntu, but you might have the page you're copying from open at the same time | 04:49 |
| cablop | hey sindegra, could you solve your framebuffer issue? | 04:49 |
| blitzo | wiesshund, thanks!! | 04:49 |
| waterboy0911 | hey guys can anyone give me tips.. I can't update my ubuntu 10.04 noobie here | 04:49 |
| gdb | bullgard4: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-1211 | 04:49 |
| sindegra | cablop: turned out to not need to solve it exactly. I got everything I wanted to work working though. | 04:49 |
| cablop | waterboy0911: how are you updating it? | 04:49 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, did you open a terminal and tyep sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 04:50 |
| bullgard4 | waterboy0911: Use the program "Update Manager" | 04:50 |
| waterboy0911 | it says that it was caused by upgrading to a pre-release version of ubuntu.. what does this means? | 04:50 |
| sindegra | PureSine: Same as ubuntu, but you might have the page you're copying from open at the same time | 04:50 |
| cablop | ok, sindegra i found an article about that, i had the opposite issue, my 140x900 screen was not working, you need to test the settings from grub and adjust accordingly | 04:50 |
| waterboy0911 | that is what I am using.. | 04:50 |
| waterboy0911 | I got photos.. wait | 04:50 |
| uRock | How do I start a csh shell in ubuntu? | 04:50 |
| neezer | anyone familliar with VPN connections? I'm having problems connecting to my VPN server with my ubuntu client, and I have no idea why. | 04:51 |
| sindegra | cablop: with vbeinfo? | 04:51 |
| blitzo | uRock, do you have csh installed? | 04:51 |
| waterboy0911 | http://s641.photobucket.com/albums/uu136/waterboy0911/?action=view¤t=Screenshot-2-1.png | 04:51 |
| uRock | don't know | 04:51 |
| gdb | Huh, seems to lead to broken pages. Maybe that's not such a good link. | 04:51 |
| cablop | sindegra if you want to know you just need to run the command vbeinfo from the grub console to see he supported modes of your vesa... or to run hwinfo --framebuffer | 04:51 |
| blitzo | uRock, type csh at command line | 04:51 |
| Saturn2888 | I have some packages that need to be installed and aptitude says #Broken:2 Will use 61.4kB of disk space. How do I make sure it doesn't keep restarting erroring out about stuff? http://pastie.org/private/gncuhqze38ksvmdiyum6yw | 04:51 |
| cablop | yes that thing, sindegra | 04:51 |
| wiesshund | sudo apt-get install csh | 04:51 |
| uRock | thax blitzo | 04:51 |
| blitzo | uRock, if it isn't there it'll tell you to get it | 04:51 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, mmm well it does ask to try again later | 04:51 |
| uRock | k | 04:51 |
| blitzo | uRock, one other | 04:51 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, I would still open a terminal and try sudo apt-get update | 04:51 |
| blitzo | uRock, to make it your default shell edit /etc/passwd | 04:52 |
| waterboy0911 | I try to update using terminal first.. but I got errors.. now I did try using the update manager.. still I have this problem | 04:52 |
| PureSine | sindegra, E: Couldn't find package jdownloader | 04:52 |
| waterboy0911 | ok.. I'll try it again.. | 04:52 |
| jaimed | bullgard04 http://cve.mitre.org | 04:52 |
| gdb | You can also "cat /etc/shells" or "dpkg -l csh" or "ls /bin/*sh" | 04:52 |
| sindegra | PureSine: you added the lines? | 04:52 |
| PureSine | yes | 04:52 |
| uRock | blitzo, just playing with them to see the differences. Thanx | 04:52 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, ok open system/administration/synatpic package manager | 04:52 |
| sindegra | PureSine: I am going to try it here and see if it works | 04:52 |
| blitzo | uRock, huge differences | 04:52 |
| waterboy0911 | then | 04:52 |
| gdb | uRock: If you're familiar with bash, csh will be totally alien to you. | 04:53 |
| waterboy0911 | I amn in the synaptic package manager | 04:53 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, under the Edit menu choose Fix broken packages | 04:53 |
| jaimed | uRock: chsh scripts also does that | 04:53 |
| sindegra | PureSine: just a sec | 04:53 |
| cablop | waterboy0911: did you installed packages from outside ubuntu repos? | 04:53 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, see if any show up if not...then click the Reload button and when that is done click the Mark all upgrades button | 04:53 |
| waterboy0911 | where can I see fix | 04:53 |
| uRock | gdb, I am taking a unix/linux intro class | 04:53 |
| cablop | this could be the problem | 04:53 |
| waterboy0911 | i see | 04:53 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, then hit the Apply button | 04:53 |
| waterboy0911 | yep.. got it.. but what's next? | 04:54 |
| waterboy0911 | ok | 04:54 |

| bullgard4 | ...government? | 04:54 |
| blitzo | uRock, usually they would focus on sh derivatives because all system shells are written in it | 04:54 |
| critt | I have found plenty of docs explaining how to connect ubuntu to a windows network. But can anyone tell me how to create a network between 2 ubuntu computers. NOOB here | 04:54 |
| gdb | uRock: Ah, okay! Sounds fun. :-) If, during the course of that, you find you like csh, I'd recommend going with tcsh instead. | 04:54 |
| cablop | but, sindegra i was reading you need to set the gfspayload to something your vesa support, and i think the vesa of those small devices could support that resolution | 04:54 |
| uRock | kool, thanx all | 04:54 |
| jaimed | bullgard4: yes | 04:54 |
| cablop | i'm on a netbook now, but never trie ubuntu here | 04:54 |
| blitzo | uRock, another shell to look at is called fish, google for it | 04:54 |
| cablop | well... | 04:55 |
| bullgard4 | jaimed, gdb: Thank you very much for your help. | 04:55 |
| uRock | k, I plan to try Korn too | 04:55 |
| cablop | how can i start a remote desktop session? | 04:55 |
| sindegra | cablop: no idea sir. I just solved my problems by using the intel framebuffer I have. | 04:55 |
| waterboy0911 | do I need to click this all? | 04:55 |
| blitzo | uRock, korn is ksh | 04:55 |
| maco | uRock: i hope you mean ksh93. ksh88 is *pain* | 04:55 |
| sindegra | cablop: which behaves a lot better than vesa. | 04:55 |
| wiesshund | critt, like file sharing? | 04:55 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, all? | 04:55 |
| blitzo | uRock, which backwards compat with bash and sh | 04:55 |
| critt | coz yes | 04:55 |
| waterboy0911 | do I have to install all of this? in the synaptic | 04:55 |
| redlance | Is VNC the best way to do remote desktop between 2 linux machines? | 04:55 |
| cablop | sindegra if you have a link drop me it, please, i'm planning to move my netbook to win7 or ubuntu depending on which one is easier | 04:55 |
| wiesshund | critt, right click folder for example, pick sharing options | 04:56 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, if it is going to install stuff then yes you were doing a distribution upgrade | 04:56 |
| waterboy0911 | ohh I got an erro.. wait.. I'll print screen | 04:56 |
| ross_ | my battery icon is not showing - how do I put it back? | 04:56 |
| wiesshund | critt, to see things on your network click places network | 04:56 |
| cablop | redlance: i'm making same question... but geting no answers | 04:56 |
| critt | I can see the windows network but thers nothing listed there to connect the ubuntu computers | 04:56 |
| critt | I did that | 04:56 |
| sindegra | cablop: don't really have a link. sorry. My problems were more of a phantom that I myself created than actually existing. | 04:56 |
| cablop | ross_ add it wirh right clic in the panel, just that, afaik | 04:56 |
| JULinuxUser | the symbol grub_puts_ not found | 04:57 |
| wiesshund | critt, do you have 2 ubuntu computers up with somethign shared? | 04:57 |
| waterboy0911 | ok then.. but first I will show you the error | 04:57 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, ok | 04:57 |
| cablop | sindegra: ah, i see... it is autodetected? | 04:57 |
| JULinuxUser | when I try to boot all it says is 'grub_puts_' not found | 04:57 |
| critt | yes as a test I shared both music folders | 04:57 |
| shawncm217 | Why does my Firefox 3.6.7 install on Ubuntu 10.04 x64 have the en-GB language pack installed? (I would think it needs to be en-US.) | 04:57 |
| waterboy0911 | here it is http://s641.photobucket.com/albums/uu136/waterboy0911/?action=view¤t=Screenshot-3-1.png | 04:58 |
| wiesshund | critt, hmm | 04:58 |
| ross_ | cablop: what to add? which is the battery? | 04:58 |
| sindegra | cablop: pretty much. if I use vbset -i (you might have to install vbset) that's the framebuffer it tells me I am using | 04:58 |
| cablop | shawncm217: i don't know i think they're moving to en-gb | 04:58 |
| critt | wiesshund I havent rebooted . Would that cause it not to show up? | 04:58 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, ooo hardy release??/ open a terminal and type lsb_release -a or copy and paste that into terminal | 04:58 |
| guest | hello all any 1 know how to fix this problem? i was messing with my file and restarted my cpu then i get this message wheni reboot 90.7khz/84.6khz frequency out of range please try another resolution | 04:58 |
| sindegra | PureSine: I haven't forgotten about you. just sec. | 04:58 |

| ross_ | gracias | 05:00 |
| cablop | shawncm217: samba in firefox? | 05:00 |

| coz_ | waterboy0911, ok the 10.04 was enough | 05:00 |
| cablop | !samba | dominicdinada | 05:00 |

| shawncm217 | cablop: I'm not sure what you're asking. | 05:01 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, ok open synaptic package manager again | 05:01 |
| wiesshund | critt, http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/05/19/how-to-share-files-and-folders-in-ubuntu/ | 05:01 |

| sindegra | PureSine: try this command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily | 05:01 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, under the Settings menu click on repositories | 05:01 |
| sindegra | PureSine: wait, fail | 05:01 |
| sindegra | PureSine: I mean | 05:01 |
| mfillpot | Has anyone else experienced 10.04 randomly booting into CLI and not starting GDM? | 05:01 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, then click the Other software tab | 05:01 |
| shawncm217 | cablop: No problem. | 05:01 |
| cablop | shawncm217: dunno, i installed the language packs and there were no en-us in ubuntu, and it installed me too many spanish ones | 05:01 |
| sindegra | PureSine: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jd-team/jdownloader | 05:02 |
| waterboy0911 | next? | 05:02 |
| sindegra | PureSine: now do sudo apt-get install jdownloader | 05:02 |
| buzag | hey my usb drive isnt working | 05:02 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, in the list | 05:02 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, you see things starting with http:// | 05:02 |
| bastidrazor | sindegra: you need an update in there after adding the ppa | 05:02 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, yes?? | 05:02 |
| cablop | asking again... what's the best alternative to logmein? but to see an existoing graphic session? no to start a new one | 05:02 |
| waterboy0911 | yeah I see | 05:02 |
| waterboy0911 | there are 5 of them | 05:03 |
| sindegra | bastidrazor: oh shoot you're right. | 05:03 |
| togdar | how can I do a real format of a drive from the ubuntu boot disk... am i not able to because I need to mount the dive? | 05:03 |
| cablop | i need to be able to see aprogram that runs in a sesion that is always openned, sometimes remotely, from internet... | 05:03 |
| dominicdinada | cablop: idmap gid = 16777216-33554431 | 05:03 |
| dominicdinada | ................ is invalid :/ I read and know where to find the documents and have looked....... it was working up till the last reboot then nothing | 05:03 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, grab the corner of that dialog and reisze it so you can see each line in it's entirety | 05:03 |
| sindegra | PureRazor: before running the sudo apt-get install jdownloader run "sudo apt-get update" | 05:03 |
| sindegra | PureSine: before running the sudo apt-get install jdownloader run "sudo apt-get update" | 05:03 |
| waterboy0911 | yeah done | 05:03 |
| sindegra | PureSine: my bad | 05:03 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, any line that does NOT say lucid un check that box | 05:04 |
| cablop | dominicdinada: it seems you are using a very complex configuraion.. | 05:04 |
| mfillpot | Has anyone else experienced 10.04 randomly booting into CLI and not starting GDM? I will repost this every couple of minutes until I get a response. | 05:04 |
| waterboy0911 | hahaha.. everything is not lucid | 05:04 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, rather any line that does not say karmic or lucid | 05:04 |
| waterboy0911 | like at the end of each http//:? | 05:05 |
| togdar | by real I think I mean to say low level format of the drive... | 05:05 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, well issnt there a check box in front of http? | 05:05 |
| cablop | waterboy0911: if you have a very specific system, then don't upgrade all to lucid yet | 05:05 |
| waterboy0911 | yeah there is.. but where can I see lucid or karmic? | 05:05 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, it would look similar to this http://ppa.launchpad.net/matthaeus123/mrw-gimp-svn/ubuntu lucid main | 05:06 |
| waterboy0911 | No I don't have that.. | 05:06 |
| cablop | how can i start via ssh a graphic program into an existing session? | 05:06 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, that was a bad example but that is where the work lucid would be located abouts | 05:07 |
| wiesshund | mfillpot, the answer is no. and if you spam post the question your not gonna be well liked | 05:07 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, no you wont have that link there but you see the word lucid there? | 05:07 |
| PureSine | sindegra, thanks, it seems it is downloading something :) | 05:07 |
| waterboy0911 | I have this packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf dapper free non-free | 05:07 |
| sindegra | PureSine: about darn time. it took waaay too long. | 05:07 |
| waterboy0911 | no lucid.. | 05:07 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, ok uncheck that one | 05:07 |
| tensorpudding | dapper is really far gone now | 05:08 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, are there mostly karmic links? | 05:08 |
| waterboy0911 | ahh yeah I have one.. archive.canocal.com/ubuntu lucid | 05:08 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, ok that one stays checked | 05:08 |
| waterboy0911 | and I have here ubuntu hardy | 05:08 |
| mfillpot | wiesshund, if people responded then it wouldn't be necessary. and it looks like another random ubuntu issue that I will have to find and fix myself | 05:08 |
| wiesshund | togdar, eh you mean like fdisk? | 05:08 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, oh | 05:08 |
| waterboy0911 | then everything uncheck | 05:08 |
| dominicdinada | cablop: I thought i used the default samba built in configuration tools via port 900 | 05:08 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, ooooo | 05:08 |
| waterboy0911 | ok so I will uncheck everything except for the lucid | 05:09 |
| togdar | wiesshund: yeah - thanks. Suppose I thought id have same option from 'Disk Utility' | 05:09 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, this is where "house visits" would be handy | 05:09 |
| wiesshund | mfillpot, well ya know, nobody here is getting paid, but if you wanna shell out some cash im sure someone will run to your whim. | 05:09 |
| waterboy0911 | I don't get it.. | 05:09 |
| cablop | dominicdinada: i was doing a little samba thing today, but didn't need uids or anything | 05:09 |
| JULinuxUser | http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/fix-symbol-grubputs-not-found-when.html here is the answer to my problem. | 05:09 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, well I am not clear on which version of ubuntu you actually have there | 05:09 |
| wiesshund | togdar, ive never looked there for it, but they probably didnt leave it in there to prevent accidental mistakes | 05:10 |
| cablop | if you have a complex samba config, dominicdinada then trry installing SWAT to manage it | 05:10 |
| waterboy0911 | I have just installed the latest ubuntu 10.04 | 05:10 |
| togdar | wiesshund: do i refer to the <disk> as /dev/sda ? | 05:10 |
| buzag | opps thats fixed now! | 05:10 |
| dominicdinada | cablop: so i might be able to comment out the Gid Uid's then and see if the problem is fixed | 05:10 |
| waterboy0911 | but I did some updates to create a mac theme.. | 05:10 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, you did? from a cd? | 05:10 |
| waterboy0911 | so I am pretty sure I am using lucid | 05:10 |
| bazhang | waterboy0911, pastebin your sources.list | 05:10 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, oh you wanted the mac theme | 05:10 |

| wiesshund | togdar, yes, thats correct /dev/sda1 sda2 etc per partition, dev/sdb is hdd2 etc | 05:10 |
| waterboy0911 | yeah I did it from a cd | 05:10 |
| togdar | i want to clean these up before I try set up the raid on the two - want a clean / checked disk | 05:10 |
| togdar | wiesshund: ty | 05:11 |
| buzag | baby baby dont leave me | 05:11 |
| waterboy0911 | not actually it's my room mate here want's it.. | 05:11 |
| bazhang | buzag, wrong channel | 05:11 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, if this gets fixed elemetary theme is nearly the same as the mac os theme ...I would go for that one instead | 05:11 |
| waterboy0911 | then now he messes my notebook.. | 05:11 |
| buzag | oh sorry dude! | 05:11 |
| Guest60470 | Does anybody know if there's a way to password protect individual applications? | 05:11 |
| waterboy0911 | No I'll shift it where it should be.. | 05:11 |
| buzag | singing out loud! | 05:11 |
| bazhang | #ubuntu-offtopic buzag | 05:12 |
| buzag | meh ! | 05:12 |
| waterboy0911 | I use linux not mac.. it's pretty embarrassing | 05:12 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, why linux os far better | 05:12 |
| waterboy0911 | lets go back to that source list | 05:12 |
| waterboy0911 | where should I go to pastebin my source.list | 05:13 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, ok in terminal sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list copy the entire contents and then go to pastebin.com and paste it then give us the link | 05:13 |
| wiesshund | Guest60470, you can limit access to any kind of file or directory based on user and group | 05:13 |
| peter-atx | how do I find out the URL of a postgreSQL database I made in the standard location? (/var/lib/postgresql/8.4/main) | 05:13 |
| mfillpot | wiesshund, thank you for the information, I will tackle this on my own | 05:13 |
| buzag | waterboy0911: in pastebin.org of course :P | 05:14 |
| coz_ | waterboy0911, pastebin.com is good also | 05:14 |

| Theo | Hey guys. I have a Dell netbook (no CD drive) and Im using the Ubuntu netbook version. Im very new to Linux OS' and I dont have much time atm to learn all the good functions. I was using windows before and I would like to switch back. I Just dont know how I can install windows back on my netbook. I have a windows.iso on my hard drive tho. Im just going to install windows to do my studies (I'll put Ubuntu back on when Im done hehe). Hop | 05:41 |
| bazhang | Theo, ##windows | 05:41 |
| nIRV | I'm in need of speaking to someone with expertise on networking & Ubuntu. | 05:41 |
| nIRV | We're a national human rights watchdog that decided to move our computer park (+/- 50) to ubuntu | 05:42 |
| b0nn | hrm, ff isn't using my flashplayer, and I cannot see why, any idea how to troubleshoot? | 05:42 |
| mom_ | nIRV, i think canonical sells support | 05:42 |
| nIRV | experience was fantastic as we were migrating. we're now facing a serious networking issue that might see us reverting back to ms windows. | 05:42 |
| Theo | Anyone here that can help me? | 05:43 |
| nIRV | mom, we're non-profit ngo, don't have $ to pay for canonical's support : ) | 05:43 |
| bazhang | Theo, that is a windows issue | 05:43 |
| bazhang | Theo, /join ##windows | 05:43 |
| grizzly_ | finally | 05:43 |
| grizzly_ | need some help guys | 05:43 |
| mom_ | nIRV, better revert back to windows then | 05:43 |
| Theo | Ok thanks. I'll try it there | 05:43 |
| grizzly_ | i am brand new to linux ubuntu and am sorry didn't get into it sooner | 05:43 |
| thune3 | patx: i'm not seeing much accept https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox-ose/+bug/495182/comments/6 . The solution was (i think) disabling compiz in guest or adding this to guest xorg.conf | 05:43 |
| buzag | grizzly_: ?? | 05:44 |
| nIRV | mom, your obviously not a ubuntu PR guy :) | 05:44 |

| grizzly_ | trying to install gnome3 shell and keep getting errors | 05:44 |
| buzag | grizzly_: gnome3 shell whats that? | 05:45 |
| grizzly_ | its a desktop shell | 05:45 |
| mom_ | nIRV, have you looked in the extensive ubuntu forums first? | 05:46 |
| slinkeey | Hello All!! :) | 05:46 |
| grizzly_ | anybody know anything about gnome 3 shell? | 05:46 |
| nIRV | basically, our network became unresponsive after most computers moved to ubuntu. web connections time out constently. doesn't seem to be a router problem as we've tried three different types, doesn't seem to be an ipv6 issue as we've tried to disable it on some machines that were then still having network issues, doesn't seem to be TCP scale issue as we applied workaround, etc. | 05:46 |
| Spidey01 | Anyone know anything about synaptics ? >_> | 05:46 |
| thune3 | grizzly_: only thing i've seen here is systems needing repair after trying to uninstall it | 05:47 |
| soreau | ! anyone | Spidey01 | 05:47 |
| ubottu | Spidey01: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 05:47 |
| grizzly_ | hmmm | 05:47 |
| grizzly_ | i'v seen many on youtube working with it pretty good | 05:47 |
| nIRV | mom, I've been googling the whole wide web for two weeks, tried all of the solutions out there (disabling ipv6, tcp scale, routers, etc.) | 05:47 |
| grizzly_ | has great features and looks | 05:47 |
| mom_ | nIRV, my network (with router) works fine | 05:47 |
| Spidey01 | ubottu: actually I asked it a few pages back | 05:47 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:47 |
| slinkeey | I have a ubuntu notebook tethered to my blackberry.. The Blackberry assigns my ppp connection an IP address that happens to be the same numbers at work... This causes a problem when I vpn.. Any tips in ubuntu to get around this? | 05:47 |
| nIRV | mom, how many computers? | 05:48 |
| mom_ | nIRV, i only own 3 :P | 05:48 |
| Spidey01 | Heh, should have guessed that 8=) | 05:48 |
| thune3 | grizzly_: i wish i new. sounds like something to play around with on some livecd with it, before committing to install. | 05:48 |
| slinkeey | Once VPNd in I can get to oddball machine on different subnets, but I can not get to the ones with the same ip scheme as my pc cause the routings conflict... :( | 05:48 |
| mom_ | nIRV, Im 3/3 and you are 0/50 | 05:48 |
| nIRV | mom, basically, yes : ) | 05:48 |
| nIRV | the odd thing is that remaining windows machine on the network are _not_ affected. | 05:49 |
| mom_ | nIRV, are the windows machines using TCP/IP? | 05:49 |
| sweetpi | nIRV: are the windows boxes on the same switch? | 05:50 |
| Sunzaru | ! anyone | sunzaru | 05:50 |
| ubottu | Sunzaru, please see my private message | 05:50 |
| Sunzaru | :P had to test the notification window.. figured the bot could do that :D | 05:50 |
| nIRV | and for machines with dual-boot, booting in windows is will result in great network experience, booting in ubuntu will result in constant time outs | 05:50 |
| nIRV | sweetpi, yep | 05:50 |
| mom_ | nIRV, do you know how the working computers are configured? | 05:50 |

| mom_ | nIRV, how is DNS then? | 05:56 |
| Spidey01 | the Xorg log file is telling me config/udev: removing ... \n UnloadModule: "synaptics" | 05:56 |
| Spidey01 | how the flub can I force it to reload the thing? | 05:56 |
| mom_ | nIRV, when you ping you are doing like www.google.com etc? | 05:57 |
| nIRV | mom, I've tried ISP DNS, google 8888 8844 DNS, nothing works | 05:57 |
| thune3 | silv3r_m00n: my understanding is that if upgrading a package requires installing something other than just a "higher version" of a package (or needs to uninstall something), it is held back. "apt-get dist-upgrade" or specifiying those packages on a "apt-get install ..." line will *usually* install those packages. Just make sure it looks ok to do so. | 05:57 |
| nIRV | mom, DNS resolution is fine | 05:57 |
| togdar | buzag: dont want to mess up cylinders and things I don't understand - just want the disk to not have old stuff from when it was raid 0 and Vista | 05:57 |
| buzag | togdar: just use fdisk | 05:57 |
| Jordan_U | togdar: It really doesn't matter what used to be on a disk. | 05:57 |
| nIRV | mom, connection timing out after DNS resolution ... if I for eg telnet www.google.com 80, it resolves ip but then times out | 05:57 |
| mom_ | nIRV, i thought you said: pinging (both web sites that time out and internal windows/ubuntu machines) working fine | 05:57 |
| nIRV | mom, yep, ping e.g. www.google.com or ping 192.168.101.110 is ifne | 05:58 |
| togdar | Jordan_U: really? I was always told to reformat before reinstall | 05:58 |
| nIRV | err fine | 05:58 |
| buzag | togdar:yeah reformat | 05:58 |
| nIRV | oh I should add, we have an internal web server (ip 192.168.101.88) that works fine, accessible from ubuntu machines ... the connection time out occurs only when connecting to external IPs | 05:59 |
| Jordan_U | togdar: Folklore, or at best simply a roundabout way to test that the drive doesn't have any bad sectors. | 05:59 |
| pr986 | any one say me how i use wvdial in ubuntu | 05:59 |
| sweetpi | togdar: full format is usually unnecessary. check out dban if you really want to wipe the data | 05:59 |
| togdar | Jordan_U are there not viruses that can persist? | 05:59 |
| togdar | dban! thats what I wanted to remember | 06:00 |
| mom_ | does links2 work on the ubuntu machines? | 06:00 |
| togdar | thanks! | 06:00 |
| buzag | togdar: but dban is very OTT IMHOP | 06:00 |
| pr986 | how i use wvdial in ubuntu | 06:00 |
| togdar | :) maybe ill just buy a new disk | 06:00 |
| buzag | togdar: why bother bro | 06:01 |
| Jordan_U | togdar: No, once you've created a new partition table and filesystem the viruses are just bits on the disk considered "free space", or they're overwritten and then they're used. Either way the fact that those bits once contained a virus is meaningless. | 06:01 |
| togdar | kidding - may need some help in a sec here - didnt seem to be able to mount these last time | 06:01 |
| traskmind | How can I disable ACPI permanently? | 06:01 |
| Bookman | darn, my computer keeps shutting down randomly and I can find no errors in the system log. I'm not sure where to check next | 06:02 |
| thecat | POOPCHEESE | 06:02 |
| buzag | togdar:pm me if you need to | 06:02 |
| bazhang | thecat, wrong channel | 06:02 |
| thecat | I LIKE TO EAT POOPCHEESE | 06:02 |
| togdar | Jprdan_U: maybe its just psychological then... peace of mind, tradition, what have you | 06:02 |
| togdar | Thanks all | 06:02 |
| pr986 | any one say me how i use wvdial in ubuntu | 06:02 |
| buzag | traskmind: noacpi | 06:02 |
| traskmind | buzag: I haven't edited a Grub menu by hand since before Grub2, so what file do I need to edit? | 06:03 |
| mom_ | nIRV, not really see what the problem is if the machines can all communicate with each other and the internet and can resolve domain names | 06:03 |
| Jordan_U | traskmind: /etc/default/grub | 06:03 |
| Guest36049 | traskmind:/etc/default/grub | 06:03 |
| buzag | traskmind: its /etc/grub | 06:04 |
| Guest36049 | wow. toos low | 06:04 |
| IntelMiner | Hey guys, quick question, does a tool or guide exist for creating a 3rd party software source for Ubuntu? | 06:04 |
| pr986 | any one say me how i use wvdial in ubuntu | 06:04 |
| nIRV | mom, welcome to my world :) thanks for taking time to listen to the issue... I should add we rewired most of the network (a job we had to do anyway) in the hope a broken cable to have led to this situation. unfortunately, we were wrong. | 06:04 |
| buzag | traskmind: Guest36049 is right | 06:04 |
| bazhang | !ppa > IntelMiner | 06:05 |
| ubottu | IntelMiner, please see my private message | 06:05 |
| mom_ | nIRV, why would you think it is a broken cable if they can all communicate with each other? | 06:05 |
| traskmind | Under GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT? | 06:05 |
| Jordan_U | traskmind: Yes. | 06:05 |
| traskmind | Jordan_U: thank you. | 06:05 |
| Jordan_U | traskmind: You're welcome. | 06:05 |
| nIRV | mom, out of hopelessness? I thought defective cables could have led to connection timing out in certain cases. | 06:06 |
| nIRV | :) | 06:06 |
| mom_ | nIRV, what happens when you installed ubuntu? it wasnt able to get packages? | 06:06 |
| IntelMiner | bazhang, ubottu, Im talking about making my own local PPA, not just adding one | 06:06 |
| pr986 | any one say me how i use wvdial in ubutnu | 06:06 |
| pr986 | ubuntu | 06:06 |
| bazhang | IntelMiner, local repo? | 06:07 |
| bazhang | IntelMiner, apt-mirror or aptoncd perhaps | 06:07 |
| pr986 | please help me | 06:07 |
| IntelMiner | bazhang, custom local repo, Ive got apt-mirror for a 'vanilla' one but I have some other packages I usually update | 06:07 |
| bazhang | !aptoncd | 06:07 |
| ubottu | APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline | 06:07 |
| nIRV | mom, actually, this is part of the strangeness of this story. when our network was 20% ubuntu, no problem ... network started not working on ubuntu machines when we reached a 70% ubuntu-machine-on-network ratio | 06:07 |
| === Guest36049 is now known as FenrisWulff | ||
| bazhang | IntelMiner, aptoncd then I guess | 06:07 |
| IntelMiner | bazhang, would that require me to use a CD/USB each time or can I just chuck it on say, an Apache folder and apt-get it over the network | 06:08 |
| mom_ | nIRV, are you configuring manual IPs? | 06:08 |
| bazhang | IntelMiner, not sure about that but sounds doable now that you mention it | 06:08 |
| nIRV | mom, nope | 06:08 |
| nIRV | all of our network is auto dhcp, except few printers and one web server | 06:09 |
| wiesshund | where is the session properties manager at in 10.4 ? | 06:09 |
| FenrisWulff | pr986, do you need to get it or know how to use it? | 06:09 |
| IntelMiner | bazhang, how does say, WINE or such do it for theirs, assuming Deb/Ubuntu has a specific way to do that | 06:09 |
| mom_ | nIRV, maybe some were using the same IP | 06:09 |
| mom_ | mom_, id do everything manually | 06:10 |
| bazhang | FenrisWulff, he/she quit | 06:10 |
| mom_ | static IPs | 06:10 |
| nIRV | mom, our fixed ips are between 50-90, and our dhcp server attributes ips from 100-200. | 06:10 |
| FenrisWulff | bazhang, yeah, I can't read or write.. | 06:10 |
| bazhang | IntelMiner, depends on the number of packages needed I suppose, if you already have an apt-mirror.. | 06:11 |
| nIRV | mom, so unless the router's dhcp server issues overlapping IPs (which I doubt is the problem since we tried 3 different routers), problem is elsewhere. | 06:11 |
| IntelMiner | bazhang, its a few, just be nice to have it automated, what if I just say dropped it into the apt-mirror directly, would it grab it since its the newest file? | 06:11 |
| mom_ | nIRV, did you run out of addresses with 50 computers? | 06:12 |
| nIRV | it's a real shame we're hit by this mysterious network problem, our transition from windows to ubuntu went really well and the staff reacted quite positively to it. | 06:12 |
| nIRV | mom, nope | 06:12 |
| mom_ | nIRV, id try configuring a ubuntu box manually for static IP and see what happens first: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/change-ubuntu-system-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address.html | 06:13 |
| nIRV | mom, did that too | 06:14 |
| nIRV | mom, same problem | 06:14 |
| bazhang | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet IntelMiner leads to this: http://www.howtoforge.com/local_debian_ubuntu_mirror | 06:15 |
| nIRV | mom, heh we're retracing the various paths we took during these last two weeks : ) keep throwing ideas, we might hit something | 06:15 |
| IntelMiner | bazhang, already done that to make a "vanilla" apt mirror, now I want to make a PPA or such so itll default to fetching newer packages if I specify them | 06:16 |
| sweetpi | nIRV: do all machines have the same nic? | 06:16 |
| wrektjet | hey having a small problem with my networking. not getting an ISP but I found the "sudo dhclient eth0" command and that is working for me. is there a cause for this? | 06:17 |
| top | im also having network issues happening after i hibernate my computer. and the sudo dhclient eth0 command also works for me after removing network manager which i beleived to be the problem | 06:18 |
| mom_ | nIRV, did you plug in your ubuntu computers? | 06:18 |
| nIRV | sweetpi, hrm, how am I supposed to get this value? all of them have, to my knowledge, different MAC addresses and unique IPs (from what I can see) | 06:18 |
| wrektjet | well i went to edit the NM .conf file and found it blank! i dont recall that being the case. (this all started bec i moved) | 06:19 |
| rebirth | hello, i am trying to use processing on ubuntu, but when i launch it i get the error "Processing required java 6 from Sin (ie the sun-java-jdk package on Ubuntu)..." but i have already installed the package "sun-java6-sdk" | 06:19 |
| sweetpi | nIRV: just thinking it might be a driver issue | 06:19 |
| mom_ | nIRV, ifconfig should show | 06:19 |
| rebirth | Sun* | 06:19 |
| nIRV | mom, :) that reminds me of my first freelance job twelve years ago. "sir, I urgently need your help, my fax hasn't been working for a week and the company can't fix it", came there and plugged in machine. the easiest money I ever earned ;) | 06:19 |
| maxredch | buenas | 06:20 |
| maxredch | quisiera peguntar algo | 06:20 |
| nIRV | sweetpi, a driver issue of one computer that'd result in a network time out issue for all machines? | 06:20 |
| maxredch | hi i have a question to all people | 06:20 |
| mom_ | maxredch, en ingles por favor | 06:20 |
| maxredch | im new on ubuntu | 06:20 |
| maxredch | and my ubuntu 10.04 some times fall | 06:20 |
| mom_ | maxredch, there is a spanish channel too for ubuntu | 06:21 |
| maxredch | and my window turn black | 06:21 |
| maxredch | =/ | 06:21 |
| sweetpi | nIRV: no, i meant if all ubuntu machines used the same nic driver, it would be the same on all of them | 06:21 |
| maxredch | dont worry im speak a little of spanish | 06:21 |
| maxredch | my ubuntu dont be stable =/ | 06:21 |
| karash | i'm having network problems as well ever since my last system update. i've disabled ipv6 in grub, made the firefox corrections, static and dhcp assignments, MTU tweaking, etc., everything possible i could find on ubuntuforums. I can ping sites just fine, i can dns sites just fine, and intermittently it will work fantastic and normal for about 5 minutes, and then it's back to horrible. | 06:21 |
| preecher | how does i get plugins for empathy so i can make audio calls | 06:21 |
| maxredch | you think are firefox the problems ? | 06:22 |
| top | I feel that installing a different network manager like wicd will solve some network problems. testing now | 06:22 |
| karash | i also installed wicd and removed network-manager | 06:22 |
| karash | same thing | 06:22 |
| maxredch | firefox ? | 06:22 |
| top | bummer to hear this karash | 06:22 |
| maxredch | and if im unistall firefox you think my ubuntu dont turn black ? | 06:22 |
| karash | yes, and epiphany | 06:22 |
| maxredch | epiphany = ? | 06:23 |
| maxredch | the same | 06:23 |
| maxredch | ? | 06:23 |
| nIRV | sweetpi, k ... I'll have a look. the whole thing is quite bizarre, for the problem to appear in relation to high ratio of ubuntu computers on network... | 06:23 |
| mom_ | nIRV, have you tried debian stable? | 06:23 |
| Jordan_U | karash: What are the exact symptoms, does another OS work on the same machine/network? | 06:23 |
| top | im using opera as my primary web browser. | 06:23 |
| top | fire fox not the issue | 06:23 |
| maxredch | uffffff opera are very nice but some webpages cant open | 06:23 |
| maxredch | =/ | 06:23 |
| Nick_Nestor | Hello everybody, I've got a problem. So, I left today and just hit "suspend." I continued to turn off my monitor and rush out the door. I come home, and my monitor turns on, but to a power-saving state, indicating that the computer isn't even putting out a signal. I'm moved the mouse, typed some keys, hard-rebooted, unplugged, everything (that an idiot like me) can do. Any suggestions? :] | 06:23 |
| top | still. i leave on fire fox as backup :) | 06:24 |
| karash | Jordan_U: Windows can always find sites and at least load them. speed is usually consistent to around 3-5 mbps (i have a 5 mbit connection), but ubuntu seems to just give up. | 06:24 |
| nIRV | mom, I had hoped we wouldn't need to go as far as re-installing another linux distribution on all our machines *snif snif*. at the end of the day, if we can't fix this, that will be one of our few options left. | 06:24 |
| sweetpi | nIRV: maybe it was a kernel update that did you in, not the ratio. the windows boxed work fine, correct? | 06:24 |
| Jordan_U | nIRV: Have you looked at what kind of traffic you're getting with wireshark? | 06:24 |
| mom_ | nIRV, i personally would have installed a stable distro for a rollout of that size | 06:24 |
| nIRV | sweetpi, we installed ubuntu 10.04 on all machines and have not had kernel updates in between time things were ok and time things were not ok :) | 06:25 |
| === Nick_Nestor is now known as xVxNICKxVx | ||
| Jordan_U | karash: You're going to need to be more specific and clear than "seems to just give up". | 06:25 |
| mom_ | nIRV, ubuntu is mostly testing and unstable debian packages | 06:25 |
| nIRV | mom, 10.04 is LTS no? :) | 06:25 |
| maxredch | i like ubuntu more than windows 7 | 06:25 |
| maxredch | =/ | 06:25 |
| karash | Jordan_U: The server at www.ubuntugeek.com is taking too long to respond. | 06:25 |
| karash | hehe | 06:25 |
| maxredch | but the problems | 06:25 |
| Mogga | having a problem cross-mounting between VMs... mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on dstore1:/mnt/home | 06:25 |
| maxredch | =/ | 06:25 |
| rav | help | 06:25 |
| maxredch | i think i need to come back to windows 7 | 06:25 |
| mom_ | maxredch, yep that means they will be trying to fix it for 7 years i think | 06:25 |
| karash | Jordan_U: it is also affecting my repository connections, so it's not just limited to my browser(s) | 06:25 |
| Jordan_U | karash: Can you ping www.ubuntugeek.com OK? | 06:26 |
| nIRV | jordan, I've tried this. I'm not a big expert on tcp outputs so did not see any obvious alarming items in the output list | 06:26 |
| maxredch | uffffff why my monitor turn black | 06:26 |
| maxredch | =/ | 06:26 |
| Mogga | mount fileserver:/mnt/home /mnt/home is what i'm using... on fileserver the home mount is a block level mount of a LV on the host | 06:26 |
| maxredch | whit ubuntu 10.04 | 06:26 |
| mom_ | nIRV, they will be trying to get it stable over 7 years | 06:26 |
| karash | Jordan_U: yeah | 06:26 |
| Mogga | any ideas | 06:26 |
| maxredch | =/ | 06:26 |
| karash | Jordan_U: i can ping everything with minimal packet loss | 06:26 |
| nIRV | mom, heh | 06:26 |
| maxredch | dont exist a distro more stable than ubuntu ? | 06:26 |
| karash | sometimes, however, it will spike to 14% loss when it gets really bad. | 06:27 |
| maxredch | on linux and very easy like ubuntu ? | 06:27 |
| mom_ | max109, debian stable | 06:27 |
| mom_ | maxredch, debian stable | 06:27 |
| maxredch | but debian see like ubuntu ? | 06:27 |
| rav | help i can't remove my usb cdrom | 06:27 |
| wrektjet | hey can someone pastebin a copy of their network config file | 06:27 |
| xVxNICKxVx | Damnit... | 06:27 |
| xVxNICKxVx | Anybody... | 06:27 |
| xVxNICKxVx | Haha. | 06:27 |
| rav | im using ubuntu netbook remix | 06:27 |
| maxredch | and are easy ? | 06:27 |
| xVxNICKxVx | I'm sitting here looking to my right to an empty "Ubuntu" screen. | 06:27 |

| maxredch | i have a good idea for a software on ubuntu | 06:28 |
| maxredch | =D | 06:28 |
| karash | Jordan_U: wired, sorry i forgot to mention that. | 06:28 |
| maxredch | can be a good idea | 06:28 |
| karash | Jordan_U: Desktop | 06:28 |
| mom_ | nIRV, i only use ubuntu on one desktop and one notebook . . . rest is debian stable | 06:28 |
| maxredch | on ubuntu dont exist too much software of webpage edition | 06:28 |
| maxredch | exist one on windows are very good | 06:28 |
| xangua | rebirth: instal sun-java6-plugin | 06:28 |
| maxredch | the name its website x5 | 06:28 |
| maxredch | =D i think if exist one program like website x5 | 06:29 |
| sweetpi | mom_: you said you have 3 computers.. that means debian stable runs on 1 computer? :p | 06:29 |
| mom_ | sweetpi, i do have a family :P | 06:29 |
| maxredch | ubuntu have a good tool very nice | 06:29 |
| rebirth | xangua: i did | 06:29 |
| maxredch | mom were are you from ? | 06:29 |
| bazhang | !ot | maxredch | 06:29 |
| ubottu | maxredch: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 06:29 |
| nIRV | mom, actually, this is probably a good rational. I wanted to give ubuntu a spin because I thought the sexy factor would make it easier for the staff to accept transition | 06:29 |
| wrektjet | karash i think im workin on a similar problem. do u get an IP if u run sudo dhclient eth0? | 06:29 |
| maxredch | im from chile im install my ubuntu 2 days | 06:30 |
| mom_ | nIRV, my debian stable looks sexy with some configuring | 06:30 |
| bazhang | maxredch, stay on topic please | 06:30 |
| nIRV | that's a life lesson: don't go for sexy, go for stable | 06:30 |
| maxredch | =D i like a lot but the problems of inestability xd ! | 06:30 |
| extremity | hello | 06:30 |
| maxredch | uffff ! | 06:30 |
| maxredch | exist a cure for the inestabiltity of ubuntu 10.04 ? | 06:30 |
| cornwallis | does anyone know how i can send a process to the background without pausing it? | 06:30 |
| nIRV | mom, yeah when you have time to configure a machine. 50 machines however, harder. makes a world of difference when OS your installing already applies "sexy" configuration :) | 06:30 |
| karash | wrektjet: i get the IP i give my router to assign me from my MAC address, so yeah, i can but I rarely use that method. | 06:31 |
| mom_ | nIRV, compiz works in debian stable :P | 06:31 |
| maxredch | compiz see like ubuntu ? | 06:31 |
| bazhang | !enter | maxredch | 06:31 |
| ubottu | maxredch: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 06:31 |
| extremity | i have one question... maybe some body knows.... how to remove items 'Help and support', 'About Ubuntu' from System menu in Gnome? | 06:31 |
| nIRV | mom, I was more referring to stuff like wallpapers, nice-to-the-eyes theme, indicators experience, etc. | 06:32 |
| karash | i'm mostly just frustrated because everything was working flawlessly for about a month, and then i decided to do a system update and it's been horrid ever since. i've been on the phone with my ISP 3 times now and they can not find the problem. | 06:32 |
| karash | and connections like IRC seem to stay connected just fine. | 06:32 |
| mom_ | nIRV, you could also post your question in the ubuntu forums | 06:32 |
| wrektjet | karash i was using static IP before i moved. right now im just working on getting my network up then ill try setting my router. did u have any luck with the other mamager. wicd | 06:32 |
| mom_ | nIRV, and explain everything you did and all the tests you ran | 06:32 |
| |TroubleMaker| | extremity, you can use the menu editor to remove the items from the menus. system > Preferences > Main Menu | 06:33 |
| karash | wrektjet: at first it was working okay, but the problems came back even after a complete removal of network-manager | 06:33 |
| nIRV | mom, yeah, that's in the to-do list before ultimately reverting back to windows | 06:33 |
| extremity | yes i knew that, but Menu editor don't show this items =) | 06:33 |
| mom_ | nIRV, did you verify the MD5 of you disk before installing? | 06:33 |
| nIRV | mom, yep | 06:33 |
| maxredch | bye thanks for help | 06:33 |
| extremity | |TroubleMaker|, try to open the 'main menu' application and you will see that | 06:34 |
| wrektjet | can someone please pastebin a copy of their /etc/networkmanager/nm-system-settings.conf file | 06:34 |
| |TroubleMaker| | extremity, i was just looking at that | 06:34 |
| karash | i'm dreading having to use windows until i can figure this out. | 06:34 |
| xVxNICKxVx | How do I get Ubuntu out of power-saving mode? | 06:34 |
| Gnea | s !backports | 06:35 |
| xVxNICKxVx | Mouse does nothing and power isn't even gettign to the keyboard. | 06:35 |
| Gnea | !backports | 06:35 |
| ubottu | 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 | 06:35 |
| mom_ | i havent ever had more than 20 computers on my home network at once so not sure | 06:35 |
| extremity | and you see System->About Ubuntu? System->Help and Support? System->About Gnome? | 06:35 |
| togdar | should i leave the two disks unallocated or set as primaries and NTFS before setting up RAID array? or if it matters | 06:35 |
| mom_ | nIRV, id check in the forums to figure it out perhaps | 06:35 |
| |TroubleMaker| | extremity, sorry thought it was there and spoke before i looked. | 06:35 |
| extremity | =) | 06:36 |
| xVxNICKxVx | Anyone? I hard rebooted a few times and no difference. | 06:36 |

| mom_ | nIRV, did you make sure the windows computers didnt have a virus/trojan that interfered with the network? | 06:36 |
| nIRV | mom, will do. I've pretty much looked throughout the forum and tried all of the hacks there (tcp scale, disabling system's ipv6, disablign firefox's ipv6, etc.), so the answer will hopefully come within a new thread | 06:36 |

| stercor | How can I install ubuntu-server on a ubuntu desktop machine? | 06:37 |
| top | wicd worked for me dudes | 06:37 |
| bazhang | stercor, install lamp | 06:37 |
| extremity | xVxNICKxVx, what happened ? | 06:37 |
| bazhang | !lamp | stercor | 06:37 |
| ubottu | stercor: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 06:37 |
| xVxNICKxVx | Hit suspend, haha. That's it. | 06:37 |
| Gnea | can't believe how many noobs are trying to post advice to the ubuntu forums | 06:37 |
| nIRV | mom, could be, although the router's statistics page doesn't reveal any suspicious activities (in terms of packet transfer, etc.) | 06:37 |
| extremity | stercor, with virtualbox | 06:37 |
| extremity | stercor, =) | 06:37 |
| nIRV | w8, be back in a minute | 06:37 |
| xVxNICKxVx | extremity, I hit suspend, then the computer went into power-saving mode. | 06:37 |
| xVxNICKxVx | extremity, and now it won't come out of it. Haha, it's beign lazy... | 06:38 |
| Gnea | "why don't you just use libgtk2.0?" <-- OMG, where you hit with the stupid stick or were you born that way? libgtk2.0 is *not* libgtk1.2 and some older programs need the 1.2 to link against! | 06:38 |
| karash | i may have to give opensuse a whirl. | 06:38 |
| [Raiden] | stercor: sudo tasksel | 06:38 |
| stercor | I want to be able to compile C programs. LAMP is not what I'm looking for. | 06:38 |

| RandumNumber | stercore, if you want to compile C programs you need to get the GCC compiler | 06:39 |
| extremity | xVxNICKxVx, check configuration | 06:39 |
| xVxNICKxVx | extremity, I didn't burn it at a low-speed like I was intending to use it as a LiveCD. Is that bad news? | 06:39 |
| stercor | bazhang: sounds good. brb | 06:39 |
| greezmunkey | xVxNICKxVx: not if it passes a md5sum check... | 06:40 |
| RandumNumber | stercore, at a terminal you type GCC <file.c> and it compiles a.out file which you then have to make executible | 06:40 |

| Gnea | xangua: didn't make fun of anyone, just pointed out a difference between thinking first before acting, and acting before thinking. | 06:43 |

| xVxNICKxVx | extremity, Thanks for your attempts though; they are appreciated :] | 06:45 |

| Gnea | ah sweet, got libgtk1.2 to work... and xmms | 06:47 |
| uRock | greezmunkey, do I add that to the bashrc or just run in terminal? | 06:47 |
| Gnea | http://www.pvv.ntnu.no/~knuta/xmms/ <-- the karmic releases work on lucid | 06:47 |
| uRock | nm, I see it on the link | 06:48 |
| greezmunkey | uRock: you can do either, from the command line to test, then commit it to your .bash_profile file | 06:48 |
| uRock | Awesome | 06:48 |

| gbear14275 | I'm wondering if it's something I should try to address | 06:53 |

| gbear14275 | buzag: ummm... huh? | 06:55 |
| quietone | why is 10.4 slow? I have gNewSense/Ubuntu/XP on a desktop. The other two are fine. In 10.4 I have 5 second delays in mouse clicks. In terminal, type a word or two then 5 seconds before it appears. | 06:55 |
| blak | if it ain't broke take a hammer to it? | 06:55 |
| bazhang | gbear14275, ignore him please | 06:56 |
| gbear14275 | bazhang: i can do that | 06:56 |
| bazhang | blak, thats not helpful | 06:56 |
| blak | bazhang: my bad. gbear14275: quickest way would be to try and copy them down or take a pic with your camera phone and google | 06:58 |
| greezmunkey | gbear14275: Bug#549976 may look familiar: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/browse_thread/thread/6519602a67871f5f | 06:58 |

| gbear14275 | greezmunkey: found that... but didn't see/don't know how to find any follow up | 06:59 |
| greezmunkey | professional-are: you can try "locate" but you kind of have to know what you are looking for - | 06:59 |
| FAJ | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9629511#post9629511 | 06:59 |

| buzag | no again dude | 07:00 |
| professional-are | Blak, autostart | 07:00 |
| professional-are | specifically screenlet app | 07:00 |

| bazhang | buzag, please stop that | 07:00 |
| buzag | stop what exactly? | 07:01 |
| greezmunkey | gbear14275: agreed, I have had only limited sucess tracking down bugs. Most of the time everything runs fine, You can get a lot of wierd errors sometimes that simply don't amount to much. | 07:01 |
| greezmunkey | gbear14275: not much help, I know... | 07:01 |
| blak | professional-are: test out the command + operators you want in your terminal, then go in to "autostart", and "copy+paste" the command, comment it so you can find it later and you should be set | 07:01 |
| gbear14275 | greezmunkey: thats ok :) The conversation is at least welcome. So I guess I'm asking now because it seems that every kernel upgrade I'm getting more and more of them | 07:02 |
| gbear14275 | and they change throughout the install details too. | 07:02 |
| buzag | bazhang: stop jumping on me | 07:02 |
| professional-are | blak, i used to type like a one word command but i forgto... it was like "where skype" | 07:02 |
| professional-are | and it would work | 07:02 |
| greezmunkey | gbear14275: do you keep track of your logs, check them regularly? | 07:02 |
| bazhang | buzag, stay on topic and stop with the language and nonsense advice | 07:02 |
| buzag | piss off | 07:03 |
| professional-are | blak, its which... thanks for your help though | 07:03 |
| blak | professional-are: n/p, man -k * is your friend :) mine at least | 07:03 |
| roky | I find it odd. That the only linux distrobution that works with my sound card is Arch Linux. heh. | 07:04 |
| professional-are | blak, i dont know what you just said | 07:04 |
| gbear14275 | greezmunkey: not as well as I should... it would be more accurate to say I just tend to watch the messages that normally occur during installs, startup, etc. Watch for flag messages. But to be honest... the logs are a bit intimidating and I don't understand them as much as I would like... it's something I should get more involved in | 07:04 |
| professional-are | blak, whats -k * | 07:04 |
| quietone | So how do I go about making 10.04 usable? I've been searching for anything to try for ~2 months. Surely, someone has an idea? | 07:04 |
| gbear14275 | greezmunkey: so... my latest kernel upgrade generated these related snippets. http://pastebin.com/xn2C6EKq | 07:05 |
| roky | quietone: what do you mean by "usable" | 07:05 |
| greezmunkey | gbear14275: your linux system is more like an old school hot rod. It takes a bit of fussing and figuring, and if you know where to look it will tell you what is wrong. Checking logs is like poppin' the hood and tweaking the carbs, just something you need to do... | 07:05 |
| rav | is trisquel good? | 07:05 |
| gbear14275 | greezmunkey: those are just chunks I pulled out and copied down... but you can see the body of the message seems to stay the same but the PID tends to change and they grow and shrink in quantity throughout the upgrade process | 07:05 |
| greezmunkey | gbear14275: I'll take a look, but no promises. | 07:06 |
| quietone | rocky. I find waiting 5 seconds for a response from a mouse click is unusable. In a te rm, I type a word or two and have to wait 5 sec to see it. | 07:06 |
| blak | professional-are: type "man -k gedit" it'll display a manual list for gedit. "man" is like a search command for manuals | 07:06 |
| roky | quietone: and what make and model of computer is this. | 07:07 |
| gbear14275 | greezmunkey: right now shes still running well, but i perk up when i hear pops and rattles ;). No need to devote time to it... just passing examples | 07:07 |
| blak | quietone: are you running from a pendrive, liveCD or full install? | 07:08 |
| professional-are | blak, oh ok thanks sorry for the noobness | 07:08 |

| blak | haxyourfacein: try NTFS Configuration Tool from the repositories | 07:09 |
| thune3 | quietone: is this a constant or periodic issue? does it coincide with something else you knowthe computer is doing? | 07:09 |
| greezmunkey | gbear14275: you keep you system regularly updated, right? | 07:09 |
| quietone | roky, Full install. Hardware - not sure. We did put in a vid card. I'll find those details. | 07:09 |

It's mounted to /host. I am assuming that in order to resize the partition I have to unmount it. I wouldn't think that unmounting this partition would have any bad affects at all... | 07:13 |
| appamajig | right? so I can unmount the /host partition and then resize it? | 07:13 |
| quietone | blak, conky? | 07:13 |

| blak | quietone: it's a system monitor util. driver up to date for that ATI? | 07:15 |
| thune3 | appamajig: If i understand you, you unmont partition you are currently running wubi from. If this is correct, then no it will not work. You would need to perform resizing from livecd, or install running from another disk. | 07:15 |
| haxyourfacein | so i replace superblock | 07:15 |
| haxyourfacein | and it still says it | 07:16 |

| aloon | Howdy , everything is going good except I did an update and it upated my kernal etc ... now I get the following error everytime I install new software: dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-image-generic: linux-image-generic depends on linux-image-2.6.35-10-generic; however: Package linux-image-2.6.35-10-generic is not configured yet. | 07:31 |
| bazhang | papna, using unetbootin or usb-creator | 07:31 |
| daedaluz | sound is clipping like crazy driving me insane, now would the correct procedure be to disable pulseaudio and use oss instead | 07:31 |
| tensorpudding | hmm, mkfontdir and mkfontscale don't work | 07:32 |
| bazhang | aloon, where did you get that kernel | 07:32 |
| aloon | it updated to to | 07:32 |
| bazhang | aloon, lucid only uses 2.6.32 | 07:32 |
| aloon | I knew clicking yes might cause weirdness | 07:32 |
| papna | bazhang: Using the "Make Startup Disk" utility thing. | 07:32 |
| quietone | blak, but then I can't make it worse. so I pick one of the suggestions and have a go | 07:32 |
| pallgone | papna: try to disable the splash so you can see what's going on | 07:33 |
| papna | Not unetbootin. | 07:33 |
| aloon | bazhang i'm on maverick | 07:33 |
| bazhang | papna, sounds like a bad 'burn' then. you may also wish to try again or try unetbootin | 07:33 |
| bazhang | aloon, #ubuntu+1 for that | 07:33 |
| aloon | oka thanks | 07:33 |
| papna | bazhang: Well, I tried with multiple USB keys now written from multiple computers at least one of which I verified the iso. | 07:36 |
| papna | bazhang, I'll try unetbootin. | 07:37 |

| phlak_user | enav: what do you do just before it crashes? | 07:39 |
| enav | what i need to do to find out the answer | 07:39 |
| daedaluz | Jordan_U: because on my opensuse install where I have OSS, sound works perfectly | 07:39 |
| nicfbi | uit | 07:39 |
| phlak_user | enav: and by crashing what do you mean? | 07:39 |
| phlak_user | daedaluz: you can remove pulseaudio and check | 07:40 |
| enav | phlak_user: video freez and audio corrup for 2 secons after total freez | 07:40 |

| greezmunkey | enav: what about hardware? Did you reseat everything including procesor? | 07:47 |
| niteshade | well, when i right-click the workspace switcher, and click preferences, it only has a little dialog box with just spinbox for columns, and rows, but it's supposed to have more than that | 07:47 |
| enav | greezmunkey: wht do you mean? | 07:48 |
| niteshade | eskimo? | 07:48 |
| greezmunkey | enav: pull out cards and place them back, one at a time, etc. | 07:48 |
| TheEskimo | Sorry, niteshade. A little distracted. Which options aren't showing? | 07:49 |
| enav | greezmunkey: done several times | 07:49 |

| enav | greezmunkey: i allready did everithing i knopw as computer technician but i thing this crash thing is due a SistemBug | 07:50 |
| TheEskimo | niteshade: I'm not sure why that would be happening. Have you tried readding the panel? | 07:50 |
| niteshade | huh? | 07:50 |
| niteshade | what do you mean? | 07:50 |
| greezmunkey | enav: yeah, good luck finding that :( Random errors are the worst. | 07:50 |
| TheEskimo | niteshade: You can add another workspace switcher and see if it works as expected. | 07:51 |
| enav | i did some search at lauchepad and find a error that looks like mime... is a problem with a log file that flood after a recursive error | 07:51 |
| niteshade | k, but what did you mean by "reading the panel? | 07:51 |
| TheEskimo | niteshade: re-adding | 07:52 |
| niteshade | oh | 07:52 |
| enav | maive that is my problem but i dont know how to test that on my computer | 07:52 |
| skidoo | i cant get my computer to pull an ip address from my router, when other computers pull IP addresses just fine. how should i troubleshoot this? | 07:52 |
| enav | maibe* | 07:52 |
| bdunnaway | gdm == g*damn | 07:52 |
| magicianlord | is it better to have gnome panel on top or bottom of screen? i cannot decided | 07:52 |
| TheEskimo | magicianlord: that is all preference. It takes up the same space either way. | 07:52 |
| blag | magicianlord: top, because that's also where window controls are | 07:52 |
| enav | anyway im goign to post my PC specs | 07:52 |
| niteshade | well, that didn't work | 07:53 |
| TheEskimo | blag: you could make the same arguement for bottom. Less chance of missclicking on the panel instead of the x button for example | 07:53 |
| greezmunkey | skidoo: in a terminal, run tail -f /var/log/syslog - then in another terminal, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart - check the first terminal for errors. | 07:53 |
| magicianlord | do you hit the buttons accidentally when the panel is at the top? | 07:53 |
| TheEskimo | niteshade: What feature is it that you want that is not there? I don't have a workspace switcher up so I can't check (sorry). What is the specific option | 07:53 |
| niteshade | what i'm trying to do is name each workspace and have it say which one's which on the switcher applet (I know it can be done, and i've done it before, but it's just not showing up) | 07:54 |
| niteshade | like i have one for web browsing, one for stuff on console, one for games, etc | 07:54 |
| enav | Ubuntu 64b 10.04 updated, Compiz 'On', CPU Athlon 6000+ X2, 6GB Corsair XMS, Gforce9800GTX..... give me some idea of the posible crash thing | 07:54 |

| ZHANGYIMING | HI EVERYBODY | 07:55 |
| TheEskimo | niteshade: you are right. That option should be there. When did this problem start occuring? Did you reinstall ubuntu/gnome or anything else? Did it occur out of the blue? | 07:55 |
| niteshade | it should have that in preferences | 07:55 |
| nic_ | hi | 07:55 |
| enav | well bye bye | 07:56 |
| nic_ | byr | 07:56 |
| nic_ | bye | 07:56 |
| niteshade | actually i haven't tried anything like this in a while, so i couldn't really track it down to when | 07:56 |
| niteshade | is there any other way to change this stuff than by going to the applet and clicking preferences? | 07:56 |
| magicianlord | i was reading that hdparm is broken in lucid, but sqeueeze already has it fixed | 07:56 |
| magicianlord | why isnt the ubu pkg up to date | 07:56 |
| TheEskimo | niteshade: is it possible you're using a different version of the applet than usual? Or need to update it? | 07:57 |

| greezmunkey | acovrig: you could try that first. | 08:08 |
| TheEskimo | reeniginEesreveR: daemontools might work for it (unfortunately that is the name of a popular windows program too so finding it might be more difficult) | 08:08 |

| greezmunkey | ID10T: hrmm...I mis-read your post. You get an IP address from the router, and yet you cannot ping it? Is that correct? | 08:27 |
| acovrig | anyone know of a good vnc server I can use? | 08:27 |
| TheEskimo | acivrig: tightvnc ain't bad | 08:28 |
| === root is now known as Guest64787 | ||
| TheEskimo | *acovrig: tightvnc isn't bad | 08:28 |
| acovrig | TheEskimo: is that the apt-get name, or is it tightvnc-server? | 08:29 |
| [Raiden] | cjae: may be ffmpeg -i file.avi | 08:29 |
| TheEskimo | acovrig: I guess it's tightvnc-server. You can install from source if you like (what I did) http://www.tightvnc.com/ | 08:29 |
| cjae | [Raiden]: cool will try | 08:30 |
| TheEskimo | appearently tightvncserver actually acovrig. | 08:30 |
| ID10T | greezmunkey yes that is correct | 08:30 |
| ID10T | my real question is do i need to configure my ethernet card or is it plug and play | 08:31 |
| greezmunkey | ID10T: what ip address and mask did you get from your router? | 08:31 |
| greezmunkey | ID10T: 9.5 times out of ten it will just work. | 08:32 |
| D3bian | greezmunkey, still not working man | 08:33 |
| TheEskimo | D10T: if you google your cards model and ubuntu you will probably find reports of if it works oob or not. | 08:33 |
| ID10T | 192.168.122.1 255.255.255.0 | 08:33 |
| H__ | found my answer : /etc/acpi/resume.d/ moved to /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/ | 08:33 |
| D3bian | I'm reinstalling nautilus | 08:33 |
| ID10T | the cards is integrated into the motherboard | 08:33 |
| ID10T | it should work i've installed other linx distros | 08:34 |
| TheEskimo | ID10T: It still has a model. But it will almost certianly work with no additional config needed. | 08:34 |
| TheEskimo | As greezmunkey said | 08:34 |
| cjae | [Raiden]: msmpeg4 this will not play on my avic pioneer touch screen via usb in my truck, any codec suggestion? | 08:34 |
| greezmunkey | D3bian: yeah, there is obviously more to this...try this: make a copy of one of the nef files. change the extension to .txt, and then try moving that copy via ubuntu. | 08:34 |
| ID10T | it should be plug and play basically right | 08:34 |
| TheEskimo | ID10T: Yes | 08:34 |
| D3bian | gonna try | 08:35 |
| ID10T | maybe its the cable it's really long and old | 08:35 |
| phlak_user | cjae: you have ubuntu on your truck pc? | 08:35 |
| greezmunkey | ID10T: how long? | 08:35 |

| phong__ | mrgenericuser, x86_64 | 08:42 |
| greezmunkey | D3bian: it's actually an issue with your Samba setup, a permissions thing. It can be fixed, but you'll have a bit of reading to do to get there. | 08:42 |

| greezmunkey | cjae: a really liberal mpeg-4 ... | 08:42 |
| patx | anyone? | 08:42 |
| [Raiden] | msmpeg4 very old format like divx3 | 08:43 |
| D3bian | greezmunkey, I had a feeling it was :( | 08:43 |
| D3bian | I hate reading | 08:43 |
| Niglop | TheEskimo: like arch linux ubuntu linux mint gentoo etc etc | 08:43 |

| hiexpo | evening all | 08:43 |
| greezmunkey | D3bian: How can reading about Ubuntu possibly be boring? :) | 08:44 |
| TheEskimo | Niglop: They all have the linux kernal, however the programs and other things installed on top are what is different. Example, package managers. Debien uses the aptitude system, red-hat uses rpms, arch uses pacman, etc. | 08:44 |
| Niglop | oh | 08:44 |
| phlak_user | patx: did this help --> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CustomXSession | 08:44 |

| D3bian | greezmunkey, not boring, I'm lazy today | 08:45 |
| D3bian | :P | 08:45 |
| patx | he uses gnome-volume-manager | 08:45 |
| patx | i tried that | 08:45 |
| patx | but it didnt work | 08:45 |
| D3bian | I love everything that is debian based, so I loooove Ubuntu | 08:45 |
| Niglop | i get it TheEskimo so the difference is what file manager environment and package managers etc it comes with? | 08:45 |
| cjae | phlak_user: apparently this works http://pastebin.com/teda0d1V | 08:45 |
| TheEskimo | Niglop: Basically yes. There are more differences than just those of course. | 08:46 |

| Axord | ized: I wasn't doubting you | 09:15 |
| ized | Jordan_U: i pasted it into shell - no output | 09:15 |
| Jordan_U | ized: It's normal for it to produce no output. | 09:15 |
| quietone | tenochslb, can't help with that. If you haven't done so you could purge it and reinstall. | 09:16 |
| ized | Jordan_U: yes - it means that it produces obviously no error - but the panel is still unconfigurable | 09:16 |
| tenochslb | quietone, i did try it. | 09:16 |
| Jordan_U | plum-mobile: Press alt+F1, type "metacity --replace", then hit enter to temporarily disable compiz. Then you can get into ccsm and fix the settings. | 09:18 |

| phlak_user | robertpayne: there is a major security concern with letting anything run as root; including you :) apache is designed to run as normal user (www-data) and the document root is owned by this user | 09:39 |
| Guest21439 | noew | 09:39 |
| Guest21439 | now | 09:39 |
| phlak_user | !hi| Guest21439 | 09:39 |

| phlak_user | Christian_: you mean the idle timeout? | 09:39 |
| robertpayne | phlak_user: sounds like I need to reconfigure then.. it is running as www-data ( the subprocesses ) but root has ownership over all directories apache/nginx is serving from | 09:39 |
| Guest21439 | yes | 09:39 |
| Christian_ | yea | 09:40 |
| Christian_ | can i disable? | 09:40 |

| phlak_user | robertpayne: that is also fine with the exception that it will be unwriteable by any other user unless configured otherwise | 09:40 |
| nio | !help | 09:41 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 09:41 |
| phlak_user | Christian_: you need to add these two lines to your /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 09:41 |

| Guest21439 | hi | 09:41 |
| robertpayne | phlak_user: true.. I mostly just use root access directly to my server.. have an extremely long password and using 2048bit keys for the ssh connection as well as non-default port.. I might just leave it as is | 09:41 |

| Guest21439 | what's the ssh configugre | 09:48 |
| ikonia | Guest21439: it's a configuration use to control the ssh (remote access) daemon | 09:48 |
| phlak_user | Christian_: ClientAliveInterval lets you set the frequency at which the KeepAlive message is sent from the Server to Client. you can tweak this | 09:48 |

| madrid | hello, I need to know how to make startup faster in jaunty, jaunty is very good but slower than vista, I await your instructions ... | 09:49 |
| ikonia | madrid: startup speed is quiet subjective, the most common cause is the either hardware detection, or miss-configured network card tht takes a long time to get a dhcp address | 09:50 |
| phlak_user | madrid: you could install lucid (the latest version) which is way faster to boot than jaunty | 09:50 |
| ouyes | hi all I have a problem, I want to use my wireless network and set a fix ip, but I cannot do that under my ubuntu | 09:50 |
| madrid | phlak-user lucid is more heavy than jaunty i have it tested | 09:51 |
| ouyes | the ssid of my wireless network is not English based, so how to set a fixed IP address for my wireless network? | 09:52 |
| phlak_user | ouyes: yes you can; right click on network manager, select edit connections, select the profile and set ipv4 address to manual | 09:52 |
| phlak_user | madrid: hmm i would say otherwise but thats just my opinion | 09:53 |
| ouyes | phlak_user, tried but failed because you cannot save that information | 09:53 |
| ouyes | phlak_user, the apply option is grey | 09:53 |
| barfster | Jordan_U: No response if shift is held down, however pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL shuts down the system normally with about 5x [OK] | 09:54 |
| ouyes | phlak_user, I think the problem is the ssid's name | 09:54 |
| barfster | Should GRUB kick in before or after the resolution of the screen changes? | 09:54 |
| phlak_user | ouyes: nope, did you fill in all the details like IP Address, netmask, gateway, DNS server etc? only then will the apply button become enabled | 09:55 |
| ouyes | phlak_user, it seems that non-english ssid is not supported by network manager | 09:55 |
| phlak_user | ouyes: english shouldnt matter at all since Ubuntu now lets you select any language as the default language including chinese | 09:56 |
| madrid | phlak-user with jauty the processors do not work as in lucid | 09:56 |
| H__ | madrid: what do you mean by that ? | 09:56 |
| ouyes | phlak_user, I selected English but I have a non english ssid | 09:56 |
| ouyes | phlak_user, you can try it you self | 09:57 |
| phlak_user | ouyes: i did, and it works; sorry, I cant help you beyond this. | 09:57 |
| madrid | h the processors are not squeezed | 09:57 |
| Natanaiel | whith which key I can go to recovery mode? F5? | 09:57 |
| H__ | madrid: can you elaborate 'squeezed' ? | 09:58 |
| ouyes | phlak_user, when ssid name is XO I can set a fixed IP successfully but it doesnot work out for a non english name of ssid | 09:58 |
| madrid | in lucid the processors are working too much | 09:58 |

| Natanaiel | oCean_: yes | 10:02 |
| stukad | does the following command actually change the polling rate on a usb mouse in ubuntu 10.4?: modprobe usbhid mousepoll=2 | 10:02 |
| H__ | madrid: you cannot make such claims without providing proof | 10:02 |
| oCean_ | Natanaiel: hold shift during startup will show grub menu. From there you can choose recovery mode | 10:02 |
| Natanaiel | ok, tnx oCean_ | 10:03 |

| robertpayne | Tadys do you mean like the main apach2.conf file or something seperate from the .conf configuration files? | 10:16 |

| phlak_user | airtonix: you mean, if you reinstalled network manager, wouldnt it do it again? | 10:39 |
| MaRk-I | airtonix: ifconfig gives you the mac addresses of your NICs | 10:39 |

| rww | Fudge: it's as reliable as the SMART diagnostics on the drive | 10:47 |

| node357 | if fdisk said that to me i'd have a heart attack | 10:51 |
| caac | gives the same > | 10:51 |
| rww | it does, but the > is because you're putting quotation marks or something in there | 10:51 |

| caac | yeah, I'm screwed lol | 11:16 |

| Bluh | Hello, seems like my ubuntu froze what should I try to get it unfrozen? >.< | 11:27 |
| ikonia | J_Brady: it can boot any ammount of OS's, manually set them up, the should part is the auto detect | 11:27 |
| lemonade_ | acer_, english only | 11:27 |
| J_Brady | If I install Ubuntu from the windows 7 desktop, will I be able to see if it autodetects both operating systems before choosing to install? | 11:28 |

| J_Brady | I mean, windows 7, windows xp and ubuntu all installed on the same machine, but installed to different hard drives. | 11:33 |
| J_Brady | I know you can also install more than one operating system to the same hard drive with partioning, but I would prefer seperate drives. | 11:34 |
| ikonia | J_Brady: that a fine configuration, no issue with 3 seperate drives | 11:34 |
| J_Brady | And I noticed your messages, thank you ikonia. | 11:34 |

| quietone | theneoindian, alsmixer? I have two headphone jacks and I think it was working as you want. | 11:44 |
| J_Brady | Yeah, unless I'm reading this wrong, the last version uploaded to sourceforge was 9.04 rev 129 on 4-22-09... I think I see what you mean abhijit.... I looked at ubuntu.com and saw the announcement for 10.04 LTS. | 11:46 |
| theneoindian | quietone, in alsamixer , the headphone control can't be manipulated . i think alsa the system doesn't sense the headfone since the jack is in a bad condidition | 11:46 |
| J_Brady | I didn't notice Long Term Service... 10.04 for the normal release is still beta? | 11:47 |
| J_Brady | or there is no 10.04 that isn't lts, and the next version is just 10.10? | 11:47 |
| abhijit | J_Brady, there is not 10.04 for normal release | 11:47 |
| J_Brady | okay. And so wubi doesn't work for 10.04 LTS. | 11:47 |
| abhijit | J_Brady, it should. | 11:48 |
| J_Brady | Correct? | 11:48 |
| * bleah away | 11:48 | |

| J_Brady | would you recommend installing 10.04 LTS, or waiting for 10.10? | 11:48 |
| abhijit | J_Brady, deped on you. 10.04 is out so grab it and install it why to wait for next release? :) | 11:49 |
| J_Brady | ... good point. | 11:49 |
| J_Brady | Can always scrub and install 10.10 then. | 11:49 |
| rocket16 | J_Brady: Installing 10.04 will be better, because 10.10 will be automatically upgraded to, when it is released. | 11:49 |
| J_Brady | .... 10.04 LTS can be upgraded to 10.10 non-LTS? | 11:49 |
| Archana | J_Brady, yes | 11:49 |
| abhijit | Archana, http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk | 11:50 |
| rww | It's not an automatic upgrade, actually. | 11:50 |
| rww | But yes, you can upgrade it. | 11:50 |

| UltraParadigm | What is the best C++ compiler/environment for someone wishing to learn C++? | 12:36 |

| ubottu | UltraParadigm: 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. | 12:37 |
| janisozaur | UltraParadigm: in ubuntu you can use gcc (with it's g++ "frontend" for c++), intel (which i believe is not free) and maybe some other. g++ is what is used to compile everything on your system by default | 12:38 |

| J_Brady | ... I just installed 10.04 LST using Wubi. Worked like a charm, actually. Until one of the drives in my raid 1 array dropped out during reboot. I booted (is that the right past tense there? I bat into windows maybe?) into win7, so Intel Matrix Storage Manager could do a rebuild... I'm guessing it's unrelated to the install. | 13:10 |

| J_Brady | One piece of information for everyone... Wubi has no problem (or appeared to have no problem) installing over an existing install of windows 7 and windows xp pro, on seperate drives. My boot menu showed "previous version of windows", "windows 7" and "ubuntu"...when I selected ubuntu it went to the grub loader with the options windows 7 or ubuntu. selecting ubuntu booted. | 13:12 |

| Niglop | how much of a difference is there between aptitude and pacman? | 13:14 |
| J_Brady | A separate question... does ubuntu have an easy to use tool to clone one ntfs file system to a different drive of the same size? | 13:14 |
| janisozaur | J_Brady: man dd | 13:15 |
| WaltzingAlong | ntfsclone | 13:15 |
| bazhang | Niglop, a question for #ubuntu-offtopic | 13:15 |
| Niglop | kk | 13:15 |
| J_Brady | man dd is a program that will do that janisozaur? | 13:15 |
| ActionParsnip | shiv_: look in system -> preferences -> startup apps | 13:15 |
| janisozaur | J_Brady: it's a man page for "dd" | 13:15 |
| J_Brady | Oh, understood. | 13:15 |
| janisozaur | J_Brady: be sure to check also what WaltzingAlong mentioned | 13:16 |

| thruxton_ | hello, is it possible to install a package with wildcards? `apt-get install banshee*` for example? | 13:18 |
| J_Brady | janisozaur or waltzingalong... can dd or ntfsclone do that for the drive ubuntu is installed on? I decided to go with the method of installing ubuntu as a file in my win7 filesystem as a test...and it's the win7 drive I want to clone. | 13:18 |
| sdistefano | hi all ; I'm getting software rendering with Intel GMA 3150... Any ideas on how to fix that? | 13:19 |
| llutz | thruxton_: aptitude understands wildcards, " aptitude install ~nbanshee' " | 13:19 |
| janisozaur | J_Brady: you have ubntu installed on ntfs drive? | 13:19 |
| janisozaur | J_Brady: oh, didn't read your whole message... | 13:19 |
| J_Brady | It's installed as a file in my win7 ntfs filestructure... it said it was using ext4, so I assume it made a big lump file that win7 sees as just junk | 13:19 |
| WaltzingAlong | J_Brady: using wubi? | 13:19 |
| thruxton_ | llutz: ahh ok, ive never used aptitude! thanks I will give that a go | 13:19 |
| lemonade_ | i want to change the desktop,not gnome or kde ,any good option? | 13:20 |
| J_Brady | Yes, using wubi. | 13:20 |
| thruxton_ | lemonade_: xfce4! | 13:20 |
| WaltzingAlong | lemonade_: xfce | 13:20 |
| philinux | lemonade_: lxde is lightweight | 13:20 |
| trojan_spike | J_Brady, disk clone u mean?? | 13:20 |
| llutz | thruxton_: that '~nbanshee' stands for "all packages with banshee in name-field (~n)" | 13:20 |
| lemonade_ | xfce | 13:20 |
| janisozaur | J_Brady: you can boot using usb live stick, then your drives will be offline | 13:20 |
| lemonade_ | ? | 13:20 |
| J_Brady | Yes, preferably...over trying to copy the root of the drive and hitting system files I can't touch or something. | 13:20 |
| philinux | !xfce | lemonade | 13:21 |
| lemonade_ | thruxton,it support 3d? | 13:21 |

| philinux | !lxde | lemonade | 13:21 |
| J_Brady | I could burn a disc and go into liveboot I suppose. | 13:21 |
| J_Brady | would liveboot have the dd or ntfsclone available? | 13:21 |
| thruxton_ | lemonade_: not sure, it supports compiz and all that good stuff | 13:21 |
| janisozaur | J_Brady: I didn't use CD in such a long time I've completely forgotten about that option. but yes, you could | 13:21 |
| philinux | lemonade_: http://lxde.org/ | 13:21 |
| WaltzingAlong | J_Brady: could also install it if not, dd more likely than ntfsclone | 13:22 |
| lemonade_ | philinux, it supports 3d? | 13:22 |
| barfster | Is there an overview of the boot sequence of an installed system? | 13:22 |
| J_Brady | Okay then... I guess that'll be my plan. Thanks guys. | 13:22 |
| janisozaur | J_Brady: you might want to check virtualbox | 13:22 |
| J_Brady | !virtualbox | 13:22 |
| ubottu | virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 13:22 |
| barfster | Is there an overview of the boot sequence of an installed system? In particular I am interested in the stuff before the stuff launched from /etc/init.d/ | 13:23 |
| J_Brady | !virtualizer | 13:23 |
| ubottu | There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 13:23 |
| philinux | lemonade_: http://blog.lxde.org/?p=30 | 13:23 |
| janisozaur | J_Brady: non-free in above means non-open-source, it is free as in free beer ;) | 13:23 |
| J_Brady | Right... :P | 13:23 |
| lemonade_ | gonna have a look,thanks all | 13:23 |
| J_Brady | What does it allow one to do though, specifically? | 13:23 |
| janisozaur | J_Brady: it allows you to run "virtualized" OS within another. you can have windows and ubuntu, running inside of windows, simultaneously | 13:24 |
| J_Brady | would it be windows running inside of ubuntu, or ubuntu running inside of windows? | 13:24 |
| janisozaur | J_Brady: the other way round is also possible | 13:24 |
| Solow | I'm trying to ssh into my pc, but it keeps saying 'invalid password' (And the password is right). But it also says Solow@(ip here), while it should be wesley@(ip here) how can I change the username for ssh | 13:25 |

| J_Brady | Thanks monkey. | 13:28 |
| ActionParsnip | J_Brady: theres also crossoveroffice and cedega for windows apps inc games but they both cost | 13:28 |
| janisozaur | J_Brady: with wine you just translate system calls to native *nix. I ran warcraft 3 using wine faster then on windows. using virtualbox (or vmware), on the other hand, let's you install whole OS | 13:28 |
| ActionParsnip | J_Brady: both have an appdb but if your apps are compatible and you need it then its worth the money | 13:28 |
| J_Brady | Yeah... I would probably just boot into winxp rather than pay for cedega. No offense to the developers, just... a reboot isn't that big an obstacle, even if they become less frequent. | 13:29 |
| J_Brady | ... I assume when you use virtualbox to install xp, you go through the activation process normally... | 13:29 |
| janisozaur | J_Brady: yes. | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | J_Brady: a cedega is most likely cheaper than a windows license | 13:30 |
| J_Brady | I have a legitimate copy of SP3... are you allowed to install more than one copy of the OS to the same machine? | 13:30 |

| J_Brady | winxp is installed, that's SP3 and legit... and installed Ubuntu 10.04 | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | J_Brady: i think you can install the home edition on 3 systems, i'd ask in ##windows | 13:30 |
| joakimk | btw, this is Ubuntu 9.04 | 13:31 |
| janisozaur | J_Brady: does http://www.grc.com/securable.htm state "yes" above hardware virtualization? | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | joakimk: dont use the adobe site for flash, flash is in the repo | 13:31 |
| joakimk | ActionParsnip: ok... But going to Add/Remove software menu, and searching for "flash" gave 0 hits | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | joakimk: if you give the output of: dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf use http://pastie.org I can advise | 13:32 |
| joakimk | ActionParsnip: and I did try installing flashplugin-nonfree | 13:32 |

| J_Brady | Okay, so that means okay to install? | 13:32 |
| joakimk | ActionParsnip: http://pastie.org/1058265 | 13:33 |

| Archana_ | stanley_robertso, Hi.. | 13:48 |
| blitzo | Muelli, not what i need. i want to know where X gets launched | 13:48 |
| Archana_ | thrillERboy, No | 13:48 |
| kslen | hello there. is there an application which makes it possible to save window positions into separate profiles so that i can hop back and forth between the laptop and external monitor? | 13:48 |
| ActionParsnip | thrillERboy: no, the install is identical to the desktop, it just installs in text mode | 13:48 |
| janisozaur | !ppa > J_Brady | 13:48 |
| ubottu | J_Brady, please see my private message | 13:48 |
| Archana_ | philinux, All are of avi format. | 13:48 |
| J_Brady | !ppa | 13:48 |

| stanley_robertso | Archana_, hey .. how is it going ? | 13:48 |
| thrillERboy | Thanks Archana_ and ActionParsnip | 13:48 |
| ActionParsnip | thrillERboy: you do need a web connection for the minimal though if you want to install more apps (or you can use the alternate CD / ISO as an offline repo) | 13:49 |
| Archana_ | J_Brady, Also install ppa-purge from a ppa ;-) to uninstall what will be installed from a ppa | 13:49 |
| philinux | Archana_: I would try Devede | 13:49 |
| blitzo | where in the startup process does X get launched? is there a control or config file for upstart that does this? | 13:49 |
| Archana_ | stanley_robertso, Happy, thanks. I would want a solution to my problem . would you help ? | 13:49 |
| philinux | Archana_: Devede transcodes the avi into dvd compatible codecs (mpeg for video and ac3 for audio) and makes the dvd-structure. Brasero is only used to burn the dvd-structure on a dvd. | 13:49 |
| Archana_ | philinux, ok, i will try | 13:50 |
| thrillERboy | Previously some download progress bar kinda thing was going on... thats y just confirming | 13:50 |
| rww | blitzo: upstart has scripts for gdm or kdm that do it | 13:50 |
| stanley_robertso | Archana_, iam also new to this linux stuff.. but can try.. can you paste the question once | 13:50 |
| Archana_ | philinux, it's on a reposit ? | 13:50 |
| philinux | Yep | 13:50 |
| Archana_ | stanley_robertso, it has just been answered. Thanks though | 13:50 |
| blitzo | rww where? what are they called? what directory are they in? | 13:50 |
| rww | blitzo: /etc/init/gdm.conf | 13:50 |
| blitzo | rww there is a ton of stuff in the init dir - in what order are those scripts called? what decides the order? i need specifics, not generalities | 13:51 |
| philinux | Archana_: I use dvd rw's ;) | 13:51 |
| rww | blitzo: I just told you which file does it :\ | 13:51 |
| kernel_geek | Whats the difference between restricted drivers and the officail nvidia ones ? | 13:52 |
| rww | blitzo: If you look at the top of that file, it tells you the prerequisites before gdm's started. | 13:52 |
| Daekdroom | kernel_geek, they're the same | 13:52 |
| Archana_ | philinux, Ok! =) | 13:52 |
| stanley_robertso | Archana_, cool ok | 13:52 |
| Daekdroom | kernel_geek, official nvidia driver is a restricted one | 13:52 |
| rww | kernel_geek: "restricted" means that they're not open source. | 13:52 |
| Archana_ | philinux, can it also be used for formats other than aiv? | 13:53 |
| blitzo | rww if i don't want gdm to automatically start on boot what do i do, delete gdm.conf? | 13:53 |
| kernel_geek | rww, Daekdroom thought so, just checking :D | 13:53 |
| Archana_ | *Avi | 13:53 |
| blitzo | rww or rename it to something else? | 13:53 |
| iflema | !nox | blitzo | 13:53 |
| ubottu | blitzo: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 13:53 |
| philinux | Archana_: It can be slow due to it doing the trancoding. DeVeDe is a program to create video DVDs, suitables for home players, from | 13:54 |
| philinux | any number of video files, in any of the formats supported by Mplayer. It allows user to create subtitles and even menus. | 13:54 |

| rww | blitzo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9303525&postcount=5 is how you'd edit gdm.conf to not start it, but adding 'text' to the kernel line is a better idea. | 13:56 |

| fablinix | is there a grub option for showing only the lastest kernel when you boot your computer? as of now, it just keeps on filling the list from the newest one, to the oldest, and then windows | 13:59 |
| Muelli | feltham83: hm. weird. can you log in to your failsafe session, open a terminal (Alt+F2, then "gnome-terminal"), do a "cat ~/.xsession-errors" and paste that using pastebin.com or so? | 13:59 |
| feltham83 | Archana - tried that | 13:59 |
| Muelli | fablinix: hm. not that I know of. Would be stupid, anyway. Just uninstall your old kernels | 14:00 |
| fablinix | Muelli: well, cleaning the old kernels every time I receive an update (like now) isn't exactly what I'm after, that's what I'm doing now and I'd would be nicer if grub would only show the newest, or automatically remove the old ones when a new arrives | 14:01 |
| VirusTB | fablinix, nope got no options in my grub at all! | 14:01 |

| researcher1 | hi | 14:04 |
| aswin | My nvidia driver suddenly crashed and nw i'm running on old setting..how can i get my graphics back to normal | 14:05 |
| Muelli | fablinix: because you need the kernel to boot. And the package manager won't uninstall it unless you explicitely ask it to. And GRUB will show every kernel there is, because it wouldn't necessarily make sense to not show the option to boot it. You could manually edit it out though or uninstall the kernel. | 14:05 |
| splashtop | yay irc in this stupid embeded OS, even if its bitchX | 14:06 |
| Muelli | aswin: hm. I don't know but dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg might help. | 14:06 |
| feltham83 | Muelli - try http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/QWjVwZXP | 14:06 |
| aswin | can some1 tell me hw to install nvidia drivers..its says u r running server and all | 14:06 |
| Muelli | feltham83: nice. can you do the same with "dmesg", too? | 14:06 |
| fablinix | Muelli: I know I need a kernel to boot, and I didn't say I want to completely remove the kernel, only that I wanted to remove the old ones or only show the new one during boot, because the boot list gets filled up so easily | 14:07 |
| feltham83 | Muelli - how i do that lol | 14:07 |
| splashtop | aswin if you click system > admin > hardware , does it not show you the nvidia driver and the option to turn it on? | 14:07 |
| Muelli | feltham83: type "dmesg" into the temrinal and paste it, as you did with the xsession-errors. | 14:07 |
| BluesKaj | aswin, open the hardware jockey and install the recomended nvidia driver | 14:07 |
| philinux | fablinix: startupmanager can be used to limit how many kernels grub shows. And to remove old ones this is good. http://tuxtweaks.com/2009/12/remove-old-kernels-in-ubuntu/ | 14:08 |
| aswin | cn i install with the already downloaded driver..i dnt wanna download again thts y | 14:08 |
| Muelli | fablinix: yes, as I've said. The package manager won't do it for you unless you ask it to. You might want to write yourself a script that automatically disables old kernels in Grub, i.e. comments them out. | 14:08 |
| splashtop | aswin install the one its showing | 14:08 |

| sproaty | I didn't, it's just listed in top | 14:39 |
| WaltzingAlong | lastelf: the file $HOME/.x11vncrc | 14:39 |

| sproaty | oCean_, what about those chipcard processes? | 14:41 |
| philinux | sproaty: I would reboot and see if dd comes back up | 14:41 |

| Chakat_Phil | I have a question I am getting a computer with the x4500 Intel IGP - And was wondering does it work with Ubuntu? | 14:48 |
| sandman70 | i have an USB connected multi-card reader | 14:49 |
| sandman70 | the card slots still show up in Nautilus, but i can't access my SD card when i insert. this was never a problem in previous versions | 14:49 |
| erUSUL | Chakat_Phil: it should | 14:50 |
| sandman70 | i've read the forums many times, installing and un-installing many packages, but i'm almost ready to wipe out and go back to 9.10 | 14:50 |
| splashtop | sandman70 you can manualy mount it ok though? | 14:51 |
| sandman70 | splashtop i have been able to manually mount USB memory sticks, as recently as a couple days ago, and it did work. but i have not tried the SD card i just bought today | 14:52 |
| sproaty | what the HELL. I restart and there's 1.5gb free on / | 14:52 |
| sproaty | that was extremely odd. | 14:52 |
| oCean_ | sproaty: mind the language anyway please | 14:52 |
| splashtop | sandman70 do the usb jumpdrives automount currently? | 14:53 |
| erUSUL | sproaty: maybe a fsck "ixed" it | 14:53 |
| sandman70 | no | 14:53 |
| sproaty | sorry. | 14:53 |
| erUSUL | sproaty: maybe a fsck "fixed" it | 14:53 |
| Chakat_Phil | And one day when I was playing with Compiz fusion - my computer like up and shut down (Ubuntu 10.10 A2.) I am powering a Nvidia Geforce FX 5200 256 128bit AGP8x card. | 14:53 |
| sandman70 | spalshtop seemingly nothing automounts any more | 14:53 |
| sproaty | computers frustrate me beyond belief nowadays, doubt I can continue a career using them. | 14:53 |
| barfster | bazhang: Problem solved, issue in the fstab, with replacement HDD | 14:54 |
| barfster | Is there a way to set up /etc/fstab in a way that it will not halt on non system volumes? | 14:54 |
| bazhang | barfster, good news, sorry not able to help you | 14:55 |
| splashtop | sandman70 ok. look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB | 14:55 |
| erUSUL | bazhang: what are "non system volumes" ? | 14:55 |
| bazhang | erUSUL, you got me :) | 14:55 |
| barfster | This was a repo of images, that was replaced with a backup one, it is not mission critical for the system itself | 14:55 |
| erUSUL | bazhang: allways ;) | 14:55 |
| splashtop | sandman70 you arent running ubuntu server edition right? | 14:56 |
| sandman70 | spalshtop besides, i wouldn't know what to mount anyway. fdisk -l doesn't show the SD card/drive | 14:56 |
| erUSUL | barfster: i'm guessing you want noauto in the fstab line? so it is not mounted on boot ? | 14:56 |
| barfster | It should mount on boot, but not halt if it UUID is no longer with us. | 14:57 |
| kickingintender | hey why doesnt yahoo messenger like things work in empathy | 14:57 |
| splashtop | sandman70 hmm, you can see the USB jumpdrives, but you can not see the SD card reader? | 14:57 |
| sandman70 | spalshtop no, running 10.04 desktop. i don't understand what happened. i NEVER had a problem in 9.10. i don't think i'm the only one. hundreds of threads on the forums | 14:57 |
| kickingintender | emphathy doesn show room list for yahoo | 14:57 |
| barfster | erUSUL: Is there a do not freak out unless / is missing option? | 14:57 |
| barfster | / meaning root in this case | 14:57 |
| erUSUL | barfster: no that i know of. but i do not spect boot to halt if something can't be mounted. | 14:58 |
| sandman70 | spalshtop i had to do a lot of digging to figure out which drive was the USB jumpdrive, but yes, i eventually did so and was able to manually fdisk the drive into an ext3 and mount it | 14:58 |
| barfster | erUSUL: It did in my case | 14:58 |

| splashtop | sandman70 have you used the reader itself before? | 15:04 |
| sandman70 | spalshtop yes, many times. in 9.10 (and dare i say windows) it always worked fine | 15:05 |

| sandman70 | splashtop for now i think that is a safe assumption, but i suppose what i could try is to use my single/standalone USB/SD card reader | 15:06 |
| splashtop | i know 10.4 runs very well, but some reason the upgrade as opposed to new install, doesnt go well for some people. no idea why seems same thing happens in all os's | 15:06 |

| sandman70 | splashtop i don't underestimate 10.04 and i hope i am a rare case with this issue, although i've seen many posts about this topic on the forums. but ok, i must confess. i just pulled out my standalone USB/SD card reader and ploppped it into a USB port and guess what? it's working | 15:09 |

| erUSUL | s/raid/read/ | 15:11 |
| sandman70 | spalshtop what i meant by standalone is one of those little jobbers that looks almost like a jumpdrive buy you plug an SD card in the back of it and pop it into a USB port. you know what? after thinking about this for the last 30 seconds, i might be on to something. my 21-in-1 reader is about 4-5 years old. the card i tried to read it with is an SDHC card. hmmmmmmmmm....... | 15:11 |

| sandman70 | splashtop i have an old 512mb SD card (don't ask why). maybe i'll try that and see if my theory is right. in any event, it looks like after all this my 21-in1 reader may not be up to snuff for today's stuff. thanks. | 15:13 |

| splashtop | sandman70 512mb cards are good. small but nothing wrong with them | 15:14 |
| splashtop | sandman70 great for cheaper cameras, expanding an older mp3 player etc | 15:14 |
| sandman70 | splashtop indeed. thanks for listening. your idea prompted me to use my little reader, which did the trick. now off to get music on this card for my kids' phone! | 15:15 |
| splashtop | sandman70 So did the stand alone reader auto mount, you you still had to hand mount? | 15:15 |
| sandman70 | splshtop no, i automounted just fine | 15:15 |

| sandman70 | plentok i have not, but are the desktop icons corrupted as well? if nothing else, you should be able to boot into safe mode and possibly try re-installing font packages again | 15:17 |
| splashtop | plentok dumb question but is it perhaps a bad res or refresh rate, like on an lcd screen? | 15:17 |

| Muelli | feltham83: yes, because it's incomplete. | 15:20 |
| splashtop | plentok might make sure the nvidia driver is loaded vs generic. since they are fine sometimes till you move mouse im doubting the fonts themselves are corrupted | 15:20 |

| helios_ | abd_: add it to /etc/inittab | 15:26 |
| destroth | Yeah, i found that thanks Muelli | 15:26 |

| splashtop | plentok if the driver isnt activated its running in generic | 15:26 |

| shrike_ | hi, im interested in installing ubuntu on a netbook. has 4 partitions (the max), i can only sacrifice 1 of them and still dual boot into winblows 7 (necessity unfortunately). Any idea how i can get a / partition and a swap partition? | 16:26 |
| WaltzingAlong | shrike_: max 4 primary partitions? | 16:27 |
| stanmancan | How do I install the kernel source? | 16:27 |
| shrike_ | yeah...not sure if swap and / can be logical? | 16:27 |
| WaltzingAlong | shrike_: so introduce extended/logical | 16:27 |
| erUSUL | stanmancan: linux-source | 16:27 |
| WaltzingAlong | yes | 16:27 |
| erUSUL | shrike_: linux can bve installed in either type of partitions | 16:28 |
| BluesKaj | shrike_, a swap isn't always necessary | 16:28 |
| shrike_ | whats a good tool for doing formating? the stock ubuntu netbook edition installer doesnt seem to allow me to create logical | 16:28 |

| ojii | hi everyone | 16:29 |
| stanmancan | erUSUAL: yuck, okay thanks | 16:29 |
| naxil | waltz what i can do? | 16:29 |
| BluesKaj | shrike_, do you need those rescue partitions required by windows ? | 16:29 |
| erUSUL | stanmancan: no problem; you can allway get vanilla source from kernel.org | 16:30 |
| naxil | booting | 16:30 |
| ojii | I just got myself a 2TB external HD and would like to backup my system, however all information I found on the wiki is about backing up directories. I would like to back up my full system so that in a worst case scenario I could use the backup to get the exact setup I had at that point including all applications, configurations, updates etc. is that possible? | 16:30 |
| BluesKaj | shrike_, or that comes with the windows install/ | 16:30 |
| destroth | You could always get a USB or external for linux | 16:30 |
| DIL | i have the latest flash player 10.1 installed on lucid but i am prompted to update my flash player | 16:31 |
| destroth | USB linux is awsome anyway | 16:31 |
| tc | try partimage or its sucesor | 16:31 |
| shrike_ | BluesKaj: I blew away the recovery partition, leaving win7, win7boot, efi | 16:31 |
| econdudeawesome | how hard is it to set up dual boot between fedora and ubuntu? Should I install ubuntu second to ensure GRUB2 is used? | 16:31 |
| shrike_ | destroth: yeah, im using it now, it is awesome. really want to use ubuntu most of the time though so would like it on the hd | 16:31 |
| ojii | tc, was that for me? AFAIK you have to unmount a partition to back it up using partimage, I can't see how that is usable if I want daily/weekly snapshots | 16:32 |
| abhijit | econdudeawesome, no hard. its normal and easy | 16:32 |
| tc | does ubuntu work well with HD TVs? I don't know why I have problems. | 16:32 |
| destroth | Backtrack has a USB ISO, it has a bunch of security tools built in | 16:32 |
| erUSUL | ojii: use clonezilla or partimage/fsarchiver to make images of the disk paritions ? | 16:32 |
| BluesKaj | shrike_, w7 boot will be sacrificed when you install ubuntu, grub will become the bootloader for all OS's | 16:32 |
| N00b001 | Hey guise, I have just installed a new sata drive on my computer but Ubuntu is not detecting it. I think it might be a bios think and I was wondering whether reseting the bios to the defaults would fix it. I was just wondering, is there anything I should be careful about before reseting the bios? | 16:32 |
| intranut | hi abhijit | 16:33 |
| ojii | erUSUL, but the wiki explicitly warns from making images of partitions, that sounds scary | 16:33 |
| destroth | What is your wifi adapter? | 16:33 |
| erUSUL | what wiki ? | 16:33 |
| abhijit | hello intranut | 16:33 |
| shrike_ | BluesKaj: ahhhh, so the w7 boot is just some lamo grub like thing? | 16:33 |
| ojii | erUSUL, the ubuntu wiki on backing up your system | 16:33 |
| BluesKaj | if it w7 boot has it's own partition then that's adiff story . shrike_ | 16:33 |

| ojii | erUSUL, also for partimage, i think you'll have to unmount your partition, so I don't see how i can use that on my main partition | 16:34 |
| erUSUL | N00b001: check "dmesg | grep -i ata" | 16:34 |

| N00b001 | erUSUL, there is nothing plugged to the 2nd sata port, maybe thats the reason why it is disabled. Maybe I should just plug the missing drive to port 2? Yes, I got 2 80GB disks and one 250GB | 16:41 |

| erUSUL | N00b001: ata3 and ata4 | 16:43 |

| Rehnquist | can anyone please help me...? i'm using a broadband wifi card in my laptop, BCM4328, and it's very slow on ubuntu 10.4. it goes up to the maximum bandwidth at one moment and plummets to 5kb the other. i tried reinstalling the driver but so far nothing helped. any ideas? | 17:03 |
| evergreenteresa | Hi. Can someone tell me why firefox shows the same font in every website? I already have the option enabled: "allow pages to choose their own fonts" | 17:04 |
| Gambino | Seems to be installing after sudo. Why did it not install when I used package manager? | 17:04 |
| helios_ | Rehnquist: what are you measuring speed with? you talking a torrent download, an HTTP download, FTP file transfers...? | 17:04 |
| Daekdroom | evergreenteresa, try installing msttcorefonts package. | 17:04 |
| splashtop | Rehnquist like sprint wireless etc? could be system congestions etc? | 17:04 |
| Rehnquist | i tried connecting with cable and it works fine | 17:05 |
| Rehnquist | i tried torrent, http so far | 17:05 |
| Rehnquist | and same result | 17:05 |
| Rehnquist | system congestion? i have nothing running at the moment | 17:06 |
| Rehnquist | it's a fresh install | 17:06 |
| splashtop | Rehnquist it could possibly be signal Db, or network congestion etc. wireless broadband isnt quite as freeflowing at dsl/cable | 17:06 |
| destroth | ??? ?????? | 17:06 |
| splashtop | Rehnquist not your system, the cell carriers system | 17:06 |

| Rehnquist | sorry, just a simple laptop wifi card connected to wifi router | 17:07 |
| splashtop | Rehnquist ah ok that isnt wifi broadband, just wifi lan. disregard what i said previously then | 17:08 |
| Rehnquist | ok sorry for it :) | 17:08 |

| stukad | somone managed to play any fps games in ubuntu without lag (jerky mouse, screen) ? | 17:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | stukad, yes. What gfx card are you using? | 17:26 |
| stukad | ZykoticK9, GTX280 | 17:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | stukad, is that ATI? | 17:26 |
| stukad | nvidia | 17:26 |
| wfamy | is there an upstat gourou to help me launching an interactive python dialog scrip under upstart before any-dm loggin | 17:27 |
| aot2002 | anyone know what would cause a X lockup? | 17:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | stukad, i have no issues with my Nvidia 8800 playing most games. What FPS are you playing? Wine or native? | 17:27 |
| stukad | ZykoticK9, quakelive native / cs1.6 in wine | 17:28 |
| stukad | ZykoticK9, got the same jerkyness lags in both games | 17:29 |
| stockhunter | would anyone like to help me with burning a data dvd? | 17:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | stukad, QuakeLive worked very well for me. I haven't tried CS. | 17:29 |
| stukad | ZykoticK9, what drivers are you using? | 17:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | stukad, current (195) | 17:29 |
| stukad | same here :/ | 17:29 |
| dr34mc0d3r | im on ubuntu 10.04 - how can i tell what video card is installed? | 17:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | dr34mc0d3r, "lspci | grep -i vga" | 17:30 |
| stockhunter | woops, wrong room | 17:30 |
| bleah | abhijit: http://liveusb.info/dotclear/ | 17:30 |
| stukad | ZykoticK9, any custom settings done in the "nvidia x server settings" ? | 17:30 |
| dr34mc0d3r | <ZykoticK9> - no easy way for nubies? | 17:30 |
| splashtop | dr34mc0d3r you could click system prefs hardware, and see what driver its using. thats quick | 17:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | stukad, yes and no - you might want to try disabling "sync to vblank" but it may create tearing in videos (FYI there is one setting in Nvidia Settings and one in Compiz for sync) | 17:32 |
| guest | video problem here. display works flawlessly until the screen gets blanked by either {screen saver, user logout, switch tty's, or xorg reset} at which point there is on GUI until full reboot of the machine, anyone know anything about this? | 17:32 |
| duffydack | I wish ATI drivers would fix tearing once and for all... | 17:32 |
| stukad | ZykoticK9, sync to vblank is off, i dont use compiz :/ | 17:33 |
| muzer | Is there a good tutorial for setting up a repo? I've googled around and the only ones I've found either rely on programs that I can't find in the Ubuntu repo, or gave me a mysterious error when I tried to use them | 17:33 |
| guest | using vesa driver ^ | 17:33 |
| duffydack | vsync in CCC and vsync in compiz settings enabled and still tearing. | 17:33 |
| splashtop | duffydack lock sync to refresh is only way | 17:33 |
| === Mike___ is now known as Mike__ | ||
| ZykoticK9 | stukad, sorry no other suggestions for ya. good luck man. | 17:33 |

| Gornjak | guest, my screen got blank after screensaver aswell, the user login was still there it just wasn't visible so i just typed my password in and that worked. | 17:34 |
| duffydack | splashtop, what? | 17:34 |
| econdudeawesome | Howdy! What is a good mount point for my OS partition? | 17:34 |
| splashtop | duffydack enable vsync to eliminate sheer and tear | 17:34 |
| econdudeawesome | "/"? | 17:34 |
| duffydack | splashtop, I already said I have.. 2 of them | 17:34 |
| muzer | econdudeawesome, if you're going to be booting from it, / is a good plan | 17:34 |
| muzer | lol | 17:34 |
| pedro_ | hi | 17:34 |
| econdudeawesome | muzer my plan is to dual boot two OS's--mount point should be the same? | 17:34 |
| guest | Gornjak: yeah the gui is still there but can't be seen, and logging back in doesn't change it, still, long time no see | 17:35 |
| duffydack | free radeon driver is fine, but blows for performance. | 17:35 |
| econdudeawesome | muzer ubuntu is being install secondso I can use GRUB2 | 17:35 |
| muzer | econdudeawesome, the OS you're not booting from should have a different mountpoint | 17:35 |
| subspider | hi | 17:35 |
| Sary | Hello Ubuntu ;) | 17:35 |
| guest | Gornjak: at least i know it's not just me ;/ | 17:35 |
| econdudeawesome | muzer does it matter which I choose? Should I create a new "folder" for the mountpoint? | 17:35 |
| froschi | and again: hey peoples: on an older ubuntu i had a sound mixer (somewhere at the loudspeaker icon/right click), where i could set 'subwoofer volume' or the like and some other attributes for the external usb speakers... now in 10.4 i don't find anything to control it. suggesteions? | 17:35 |
| subspider | i can read cd or dvds why?? | 17:36 |
| muzer | econdudeawesome, if you're going through the installer, it should be created automatically | 17:36 |
| muzer | econdudeawesome, I would put it in /media somewhere (like /media/other_os or something), but it honestly doesn't matter | 17:36 |
| aot2002 | i cloned my drive using rsync and reinstalled grub, the computer boots fine but when GDM comes up it locks up ...no keyboard or mouse... But the old drive works fine no problems... the filesystem is the same so im trying to figure out why it's giving me problems, where should i start looking to get this resolved? | 17:36 |
| naxil | some people can help me with a !alert dev/uu-iid" | 17:36 |
| guest | froschi: terminal command; alsamixer | 17:36 |
| econdudeawesome | muzer well, here goes | 17:37 |
| destroth | Is there a binary translator I can use to translate the packets in wireshark? | 17:37 |
| Gornjak | guest, yeah, do you have to login before you can get to your desktop? If so, I've changed settings in screensaver not to lock the screen when it goes to screensaver. And since then the screen comes back just fine. Maybe this could work for you aswell. | 17:37 |
| froschi | guest: yeah, just tried that... nevertheless, i had some gtk thing or so on the koala | 17:37 |
| froschi | or was ist jaunty? | 17:37 |
| muzer | hmm - there really should be an Ubuntu wiki tutorial on setting up a repo. Not everyone is going to want to use PPAs... | 17:38 |
| abhijit | bleah, that page is not in english. and btw you had success in making that? | 17:39 |
| dementorementor | hy i make apgrade to 10.4 and now i have no border in all my windows what to do ,in the upgrade proces has bean some errors | 17:39 |

| bleah | u can choose other language for translation | 17:39 |
| bleah | u have option on the page | 17:39 |
| abhijit | bleah, ok. I wll read it later just give me a link again | 17:40 |

| Legend_Xeon | i can't solve this puzzle. Help me out | 17:41 |
| Legend_Xeon | http://i.imgur.com/kMiMB.jpg | 17:41 |
| econdudeawesome | Gambino yes--one is host the other is guest | 17:41 |
| destroth | VB like visual basics? | 17:41 |
| destroth | or Vbox? | 17:41 |
| guest | Gornjak: the thing is, it's not the screensaver that is the real agravation, there is no way to switch users except a hard reboot, and this is a four user machine... screensavers can all be set to "off" and the logged in user is fine, but the next user has to reboot before they can see anything at all. | 17:41 |
| econdudeawesome | Gambino I run windows XP and try out other linux distros in Vbox | 17:41 |
| econdudeawesome | Gambino it runs on top of Ubuntu | 17:42 |
| econdudeawesome | Gambino in my setup--but Vbox can be used with other systems too | 17:42 |
| Gambino | And if I have security issues in WinXP, there is no risk in cross contamination running VB with Ubuntu? | 17:42 |
| econdudeawesome | Gambino unless you share drives | 17:42 |
| econdudeawesome | Gambino as in, set up a shared file where things can be written | 17:42 |
| guest | thus i need a patch/work_around/hack that will fix this | 17:42 |
| Gambino | econdudeawesome, Thanks, I'm going to give it a shot. | 17:43 |
| econdudeawesome | Gambino if the two systems are set up to run mutually exclusive, no problem. I've never had cross contamination | 17:43 |

| waseem | might be, when I scroll the mouse over is, it say Cannot get laptop brightness | 18:00 |
| krysis_ | waseem, also you can go to ubuntuforums.org and post your problem there so that the WHOLE community can take a look at it and add it as a fix in the ubuntu updates when its found | 18:00 |

| [4-tea-2] | guest: I suspect the kernel switches to fb gfx and then all is lost. | 18:02 |
| guest | [4-tea-2]: the new splash scheem is a bad joke imo | 18:02 |
| jbrady | I read that X-fi drivers are supposed to be built into ALSA in Koadic... It looks to me like the driver is installed, but I hear no sound. | 18:02 |
| Paca-Vaca | Hi anybody know, where is "aliases" file in ubuntu 10.04 ? | 18:03 |
| [4-tea-2] | guest: removing splash and quiet from the grub command line didn't help either. | 18:03 |
| cablop | well, iḿ looking for an alternative to WinSCP, i need to be able to synchronize remote ftp folders with local copies, but just to sync changes, not all, not mirror, to sync goes further | 18:03 |
| whileimhere231 | Hi. Is there a way to fully remove Pulseaudio and go back to whatever was working before. I think that was ALSA? | 18:03 |
| guest | [4-tea-2]: not all, alt+sysRQ+r and try it. "resets to xlate keyboard mode" | 18:03 |
| Muelli | cablop: rsync | 18:03 |
| greezmunkey | jbrady: have you checked alsa mixer to be sure the sliders are maxed? | 18:03 |
| dementor | krysis_ can i re upgrade ?? | 18:03 |
| krysis_ | well you should consider using a split partition install just for updates that go wrong, check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/user/CJay554#p/u/21/Xb_854AIMRg dementor | 18:03 |
| Muelli | Paca-Vaca: what is that file supposed to do? | 18:03 |
| dludldin | is anybody using 10.10? | 18:03 |
| guest | [4-tea-2]: yeah the splash screen is part of upstart or something stuppid like that.... i hate it. | 18:03 |
| cablop | Muelli... mmm never used it, itś command line so iḿ afraid to mess something | 18:03 |
| jbrady | I'm brand new to Ubuntu... but I have a volume key on my keyboard... I see the volume slider appear on the desktop and go up and down. | 18:03 |
| krysis_ | u can't reupgarde dementor once its there its there | 18:04 |
| jbrady | where would I find the alsa mixer? | 18:04 |
| cablop | is there any gui alternative to sync a remote ftp folder with its local copy? | 18:04 |
| krysis_ | there is no way to "roll back" changes for an upgrade | 18:04 |
| [4-tea-2] | guest: no change, still no tty after ctrl+alt+f1 | 18:04 |
| jbrady | system -> preferences -> sound? | 18:04 |
| greezmunkey | jbrady: in a terminal execute alsamixer (I believe) | 18:04 |
| Muelli | cablop: there are GUIs for rsync | 18:04 |
| Alexzor | in my windows 7 install i have an OS partition and a DATA partition, is it possible to install ubuntu onto just the data installation so I have both windows and linux on the same machine without loosing my current windows installation? | 18:04 |
| dementor | i have no border on my all windows theast de plb | 18:04 |
| cablop | ah nice, Muelli ! what is its name? | 18:05 |
| [4-tea-2] | Is there a kernel option to disable the framebuffer? | 18:05 |
| === louiph is now known as Louiph | ||
| Muelli | Alexzor: hm. That is the default behaviour of wubi IIRC. | 18:05 |
| jbrady | executed... all are at max except for master which is at half, and is what my volume control affects...so that's not it. | 18:05 |
| krysis_ | dementor, to fix the border | 18:05 |
| guest | [4-tea-2]: ok. then you can add init=/bin/bash to the grub line and try that. warning you'll have to manually mount/unmount the root fs | 18:05 |
| krysis_ | dementor, press alt+f | 18:05 |
| krysis_ | alt+f2 | 18:05 |
| waseem | @krysis, tell u what, the installation I am running on the machine right now, was downloaded from the Dell website, some user had posted there a Ubuntu 10.04 tailored fro Dell laptops. I was facing wireless issues on the installations which I downloaded from ubuntu.com. Now this Dell tailored ubuntu has got Netbook Editions as well, including 2D. The .iso files that I downloaded from ubuntu.com did show notifications when I pressed | 18:05 |
| subspider | how do i mount my cd drive please??? | 18:05 |
| krysis_ | then type in "metacity --replace" | 18:05 |
| Gambino | I get a boot medium fatal error when attempting to run XP from VB. Any advice? | 18:05 |
| [4-tea-2] | guest: been there, didn't help either. No /bin/bash in the initrd. ;) | 18:05 |
| waseem | Can u suggest me the best location, I m in India | 18:05 |
| Alexzor | Muelli: i was under the impression that didnt install ubuntu, it just ran it inside the existing windows environment, I want to be able to choose which OS to boot to | 18:06 |
| jbrady | greezmunkey, you still there? | 18:06 |
| Muelli | cablop: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=rsync+gui | 18:06 |
| [4-tea-2] | guest: init complained about being killed, kernel panicked. Which was kinda unexpected. | 18:06 |
| greezmunkey | jbrady: yes, checking something else.. | 18:06 |
| Muelli | Alexzor: hm. That is the default behaviour of wubi IIRC. | 18:06 |
| guest | [4-tea-2]: so your system is not finding the install fs | 18:06 |
| cablop | i wanted to say thanks Muelli but you killed that intention | 18:06 |
| greezmunkey | jbrady: Is your stuff usb, like usb speakers? | 18:06 |
| krysis_ | waseem if you give me your laptop model i can maybe find out a forum that may have the fix | 18:06 |
| dementor | krysis_ theat works:* | 18:06 |
| [4-tea-2] | guest: so I need to add a boot= parameter when trying init=/bin/bash, huh? | 18:07 |
| Paca-Vaca | When configurating crond daemon, it's send mail to root. On aliases file that may configure | 18:07 |
| krysis_ | good =) is that the only problem for the upgrade dementor ? | 18:07 |
| waseem | its Inspiron N4010 | 18:07 |
| [4-tea-2] | guest: make that a "root=" | 18:07 |
| jbrady | No.. It's a Creative X-fi Elite Pro | 18:07 |
| Muelli | Paca-Vaca: don't query me unless it's important. | 18:07 |
| dementor | no | 18:07 |
| guest | [4-tea-2]: ummm no you need to have the rootfs mounted via real device {my guess} something like root=/dev/sda5 | 18:07 |
| jbrady | The drivers are supposed to be built into ALSA in Koadic Karma... I just installed 10.4 | 18:08 |
| dludldin | life is short to understand linux (kubuntu ubuntu xubuntu edubuntu mandriva debian) i am confused | 18:08 |
| krysis_ | ok good =) enjoy dementor | 18:08 |
| [4-tea-2] | guest: I'll try. | 18:08 |
| krysis_ | waseem, for the brightness, so your saying it worked fine with Dell's Ubuntu but not the original ubuntu.com CD? | 18:08 |
| Muelli | Paca-Vaca: /etc/aliases is a postfix file IIRC. But if you only want cron to send the mail to a different address, write MAILTO=foo@bar.com in your crontab | 18:08 |
| Alexzor | Muelli: forgive me, but does Wubi run ubuntu inide the current WIndows session? or does it create the instal on the DATA partition? | 18:08 |
| dludldin | every time i turn my computer i get a surprise | 18:08 |
| Muelli | Paca-Vaca: man crond | 18:08 |
| guest | my xorg is still broken someone that knows something help me | 18:08 |
| Muelli | Paca-Vaca: "When executing commands, any output is mailed to the owner of the crontab (or to the user named in the MAILTO environment variable in the crontab, if such exists). " | 18:09 |
| jbrady | I downloaded the open source drivers from Creative directly...and found a step by step guide to installing them here: http://www.fusetext.com/2009/05/ubuntu-linux-creative-sound-blaster-x-fi-driver-installation-how-to/ ... followed guide. When I entered the "make" command it popped up with some missing file errors. | 18:09 |
| [4-tea-2] | guest: suprise, no /bin/bash, but Ubuntu kicked me into a busybox. That should be good enough to fix the video problem, thanks. | 18:09 |
| cablop | Alexzor: Wubi creates a disk image for ubuntu, but runs as a diferent OS | 18:09 |
| WaltzingAlong | !wubi | Alexzor, you would reboot out of windows but the file holding ubuntu is hosted on a windows partition | 18:09 |
| ubottu | Alexzor, you would reboot out of windows but the file holding ubuntu is hosted on a windows partition: 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. | 18:09 |
| guest | [4-tea-2]: the video problem is that the rootfs is not mounted | 18:09 |
| greezmunkey | jbrady: I had an issue similar, and loaded pulseaudio manager from the repos, I found a setting there that made sound work for me. You can open up your Synaptic package manager and search for it. | 18:09 |
| jbrady | what does pulseaudio do? | 18:10 |
| * Muelli wonders if that'll work: | 18:10 | |
| Muelli | !man crond | 18:10 |
| waseem | krysis, on Dell's ubuntu it doesnt work & on original ubuntu it showed a notification, but it didnt go down any further than 2 steps | 18:10 |
| dludldin | maybe its my hardware s fault | 18:10 |
| Muelli | no | 18:10 |
| guest | my video problem on the other hand is that ubuntu is a peace of junk OS | 18:10 |
| daftykins | Alexzor: wubi creates an image file on top of the windows NTFS volume and makes it contain the ubuntu install | 18:10 |
| Paca-Vaca | Thanks | 18:10 |
| [4-tea-2] | guest: no. | 18:10 |
| guest | [4-tea-2]: ? /bin/bash not existant and the rootfs is mounted ??? | 18:11 |
| krysis_ | waseem, i'll look into your problem for you, but since you being a new user i'd like to introduce you to my channel to learn how to use Ubuntu: http://www.youtube.com/user/CJay554#p/c/CC32EDDC038F6AB2 While you do that i'll go ahead and try and find a solution for you, is that ok? | 18:11 |
| [4-tea-2] | guest: the system boots fine, I can even hear the Gnome start sound. The filesystem is mounted fine (with exception of now, because I fumbled) | 18:11 |
| [4-tea-2] | guest: I gave the wrong partition to root= | 18:11 |
| dgbaley27 | Hello. I'm trying to install to a multi-boot system. I already have a boot partition and grub set up. How can I make sure the ubuntu alternate installer puts ONLY the kernel images onto /boot? | 18:12 |
| waseem | krysis oh why not, thanks for your help | 18:12 |
| guest | [4-tea-2]: so your origenal problem is the same as mine. xorg is trash ? | 18:12 |
| jbrady | greezmunkey: checked synaptic.... pulseaudio 1:0.9.22 is installed. libpulse0 also installed. libpulse-browse0, pulseaudio-utils, libpulse-mainloop-glib0 all installed already... | 18:12 |
| [4-tea-2] | guest: I still think it's the kernel framebuffer that fscks it up. | 18:12 |
| juand | hi | 18:12 |
| greezmunkey | jbrady: I could be wrong here, but it seems that pulseaudio *is* the sound system. | 18:13 |
| jbrady | Do you mean "paman" ...which has description "PulseAudio Manager" ? | 18:13 |
| cablop | the reality is humans are smarter than google, but some humans forgot that and thing that google can replace a nice advise and an expert suggestion | 18:13 |
| Cool_C | question: the things (applets) in my panel gets moved around in different places at each login, can anything be done to fix this, or is it just gnome that sucks in yet another way? | 18:13 |
| cablop | *think | 18:13 |
| greezmunkey | jbrady: I'll get the package name for you, brb | 18:13 |
| jbrady | thanks several times. | 18:13 |
| [4-tea-2] | guest: ...because even if I try to boot into a mode that doesn't use X, I still get blank video a few seconds into booting. | 18:13 |
| dludldin | i made an upgrade to 10.10 and i got a low resolution warning at start | 18:13 |

| greezmunkey | jbrady: it is called "paman" here. | 18:14 |
| [4-tea-2] | guest: I think the kernel option I was looking for was "nofb". I'll try that now. | 18:14 |
| qdb | hello. during installation of proftpd "ftp" user is created in addition to "proftpd" user. for what is "ftp" user? "proftpd" - to run proftpd. | 18:14 |
| dludldin | 10.04 has a slow internet issue | 18:14 |
| cablop | but google don answer questions... so google < human experience... except if the "expert" has no experience | 18:14 |
| greezmunkey | jbrady: it's pretty cool, gives you extra controls. I found on this system that a field needed to be ticked to get my usb headset to work. I have no sound card on this box. | 18:15 |
| greezmunkey | jbrady: It may just help you as well! | 18:15 |
| cablop | damn... how can i make the us-intl keyboard to work like the standard one? this thing keeps eating my 't all the time | 18:16 |
| jbrady | for **********'s sake..... | 18:16 |
| dludldin | there are 1500 guys with problems here imgoing to take a look to windows channel | 18:16 |

| wiesshund | cablop, get a fatter thumb? | 18:16 |
| hspaans | dludldin: describe slow | 18:17 |
| jbrady | My soundcard has a big tall external unit with headphone jacks and lots of other things... my headphones were plugged into it. Apparently the linux driver doesn't support the external unit. Moving my headphones to the jack on the back of the sound card itself, suddenly sound. | 18:17 |
| wiesshund | dludldin, i dotn think any of us quite understood your question? | 18:17 |
| dludldin | 378 guys in windows and 1502 in ubuntu | 18:17 |
| storm__zen | ? | 18:17 |
| krysis_ | alright waseem you there? | 18:17 |
| cablop | no itś not a fatter thumb... it's the us-intl keyboard allow to put special characetrs, but when you type ' followed by t then it just ignopre the thing instead of writing both characters | 18:17 |
| cablop | ' is a deadkey in us-intl layout | 18:17 |
| jbrady | ...thank you again for trying to help, anyway. Hopefully if someone else has this problem, I'll be able to help them at some point. I've been working on this for 2+ hours. | 18:18 |
| wiesshund | cablop, ah, wierd. can you just use the normal KB setting? | 18:18 |
| storm__zen | I just upgraded to 10.4 LTS and the Scrabble flash / java app doesn't work in Facebook. Anyone know what this is? | 18:18 |

| waseem | krysis, yes m here....thanks for ur help, i was looking at your channel | 18:18 |
| krysis_ | ok cool, i need to get some hardware info of your computer, you feel comfortable with the terminal? its mostly just copy and paste | 18:18 |
| jbrady | I doubt it would do much. The Linux drivers were released in 2006... the windows 7 drivers a month ago. | 18:19 |
| dludldin | i guess it is not my problem i think it s ubuntu s | 18:19 |
| cmayo | hi, i'm on mac osx and i want to get on my friend's ubuntu machine. what vnc server do they need? | 18:19 |

| waseem | ya m ok with it | 18:19 |
| wiesshund | cablop, ah ok, understood | 18:19 |

| wiesshund | storm so nothing in youtube works at all? | 18:29 |
| storm__zen | wiesshund: I was thinking it was some kind of permissions issue, or maybe something didn't get soft-linked right. | 18:29 |
| IdleOne | krysis_: We still have to follow the rules. | 18:29 |
| storm__zen | wiesshund: That's a youtube link. Send me one that I can test. I'm not sure what you are asking for. | 18:29 |
| wiesshund | I think Arjon died :) i cna only hope | 18:29 |
| krysis_ | IdleOne, i know, but at least someone can kick him for not following it himself... | 18:29 |
| BigC_ | When I search for usplash in synaptic, and I go to install it, it ask to basiclly remove everything. Is this a bug? | 18:29 |
| * uRock says "Kick'em!" but that is why I am not in power. | 18:30 | |
| krysis_ | wiesshund, me too, i hate trolls | 18:30 |
| wiesshund | storm just asking that nothing at all in youtube works, but yes i can play that | 18:30 |
| storm__zen | wiesshund: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2l2mvTryVZs also doesn't work... perhaps that's a good thing for me.. | 18:30 |
| IdleOne | krysis_: kicking is a last resort. we offer help or redirect to proper channel. ops are watching | 18:30 |
| uRock | IdleOne, I understand | 18:30 |
| storm__zen | wiesshund: I wonder if it's a restricted software thing? | 18:30 |
| abhijit | BigC_, may be they are overlapping. i am not finding exact word i mean e.g. software1 is installed only if software2 is not installed like that | 18:31 |
| storm__zen | wiesshund: How do you install restricted in 10.4 LTS? | 18:31 |
| wiesshund | storm__zen, sounds like flash didnt install or setup correctly. have you tried to remove it, and then reinstall it? | 18:31 |
| storm__zen | wiesshund: Nope. Haven't tried that yet. | 18:31 |

| monkey_dust | ClayG, in Terminal yo can type uptime | 18:46 |
| IdleOne | monkey_dust: uptime will give the computers uptime not uptime of connection to isp | 18:47 |

| ClayG | IdleOne, ok, is there an application or way to tell how often my internet goes down, maybe something that sends pings to a known good site and recocrds the times they do not return? | 18:48 |
| wiesshund | ClayG, System Monitor? system-> admin-> system monitor | 18:48 |
| IdleOne | ClayG: I don't know of any but that doesn't mean they don't exist.you can try searching in Synaptic Package Manager | 18:49 |

| IMJ | a problem with 3d acceleration | 18:52 |
| wiesshund | ClayG, for that you'd need to see if there is something available for linux like pingplotter, to monitor your internet over time | 18:53 |
| === crow is now known as Guest84208 | ||
| IMJ | not getting full fluid animations and effect with my ATI x1650 GPU AGP based | 18:53 |
| sebsebseb | IMJ: of course probably got to install propritary driver for that | 18:53 |
| wiesshund | ClayG, unfortunately i dont know a linux app off hand, someone else may though | 18:53 |
| sharplinux | ClayG: you can just leave ping running in a terminal | 18:53 |
| IMJ | wish i could do that | 18:53 |
| ClayG | hspaans, I'll check that is actually a good idea I think there might be something liek that there, wiesshund that sounds exactly what i....what now? | 18:53 |
| IMJ | but my card is under legacy support | 18:53 |
| ClayG | wiesshund, oh i see pingplotter does not work for nix? is it windows? | 18:53 |
| sebsebseb | IMJ: I think its more for Nivida, but anything under system > administration > hardware drivers ? | 18:53 |
| bobthebuilder | any terminal based utility that convert youtube vid to mp3 ? | 18:53 |
| IMJ | as per ATI support policy | 18:53 |
| wiesshund | ClayG, i think its windows only but you could run it in wine perhaps | 18:54 |
| crow_ | hello | 18:54 |
| ClayG | sharplinux, and when i come back in 24 hours how will i know what percent it was down? | 18:54 |
| IMJ | sebs > nope no drivers | 18:54 |
| ClayG | wiesshund, sounds good, im going to try to grab it now | 18:54 |
| sebsebseb | !ati | IMJ | 18:54 |
| ubottu | IMJ: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 18:54 |
| sharplinux | ClayG: when you stop ping, it provides stats | 18:54 |
| wiesshund | IMJ an ATI card should show itself using proprietary drivers in the hardware panel | 18:55 |
| crow_ | I am new to Ubuntu..odd question..wondering if there is software that can draw 2-d floor plans to show floor layouts..been searching with no luck | 18:55 |

| usacomputertec | I upgraded my system just so I could use OpenShot video editor. I really like it except for the fact that I can't preview the sound. | 18:55 |
| ClayG | sharplinux, is there a switch or something for that? when i ping yahoo for instance if the internet is not up it will time out and then drop me to the command line again | 18:55 |
| dludldin | so...freshly installed ubuntu comes with gnome shell and it is possible to "upgrade" the environment to kde or compiz? | 18:55 |
| IMJ | i am not sure which driver i am using anyways | 18:55 |
| sharplinux | ClayG: do 'man ping' in a terminal - you'll get some good info | 18:55 |
| sebsebseb | dludldin: no | 18:55 |
| ClayG | sharplinux, i am a nublit though in nix so im sure there are thousands of things im overlooking | 18:55 |
| philinux | crow_: yes there is. Cant remember the name. I think it's in the repos | 18:55 |
| usacomputertec | Can anyone tell me how to get OpenShot to play audio. | 18:56 |
| sebsebseb | dludldin: no Gnome Shell in Ubuntu by default, and not eveven 10.10 wil be using that, you can however install it yourself, older version in repo, ppa for later | 18:56 |
| sharplinux | ClayG: ping should not time out by default | 18:56 |
| ClayG | sharplinux, yeah ill try that as a last resort , im not intelligent enough to understand the wording of man's but it's a good suggestion if all else fails | 18:56 |

| neocortex | H__, it is about 8GB, it is VirtualBox | 19:05 |
| cjae | so the only way to bulk encode is through use of a script | 19:05 |
| H__ | neocortex: that should be just fine with tar, and rsync, and cp. Something else is wrong, anything in syslog ? | 19:05 |
| froschi | whoah. now i got a very different prblem. i have a keyboard with a broken 'return' key... <enter> on the numpad is fine... this works ok in regular use, shell, editing, etc... only in 'less' in the shell when searching with '/', i cannot 'enter' the query.... what can i change (except for the keyboard?) (it gives /ESCOM there, when i 'enter' following '/', which is strange since the hardware vendor 'escom' doesn't exist for 10++ years here in germany) | 19:05 |
| neocortex | sharplinux, yes: too big file and some are not allowed to be copied. I even logout and did everything as root, from console | 19:06 |

| greezmunkey | ikonia: ok, I read that wrong - one of the drives has a seperate /boot partition (it's on drive #1) you had me worried for a sec! | 19:08 |
| e01 | i thinking that after watching some movie with totem the this problem is apearing | 19:08 |
| neocortex | sharplinux, Oooo stupid me | 19:08 |
| sharplinux | neocortex: not stupid - I had to learn that too :-) | 19:08 |
| ikonia | greezmunkey: good good, it's important to understand the "rules" | 19:08 |
| H__ | neocortex: you're copying towards a fat32 filesystem ? | 19:08 |
| neocortex | sharplinux, Then, I just need to make ext3 fs? | 19:08 |
| neocortex | H__, yes | 19:08 |
| sharplinux | neocortex: do you need it to be visible on Windows (or Mac)? | 19:09 |
| neocortex | H__, and sharplinux just told me that that caused the problem | 19:09 |
| H__ | neocortex: ok :) sharplinux is right | 19:09 |
| greezmunkey | ikonia: hspaans: no doubt. My issue is that I'm not quite sure where to start, check if it's a lvm issue, or a dmraid issue, which to do first, etc. | 19:09 |
| dementor | hy againe how do i configure my mouse and keyboard in 10.4 from console | 19:09 |
| sharplinux | neocortex: if not, ext3 would be ideal | 19:10 |
| neocortex | sharplinux, Yes, I would prefer that, although I use Linux only and VirutalBox Win XP for some compatibility with my colleagues | 19:10 |
| storm__zen | I'm currently 'trying' out 10.4... it's passed all of my 'tests' ... I have a system that has an LVM, and I don't see a way to use the installer to set up the LVM. Am I missing something? | 19:10 |
| hspaans | greezmunkey: I'm not touching any machine with / on software raid5, sorry | 19:10 |
| neocortex | sharplinux, Can I exclude whole .VirtualBox folder? | 19:11 |
| ChrisBuchholz | Hey, I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my MacBook, and was wondering if there were some "easy" way of getting the keyboard mapped correctly - is it is on OS X? As it is now, i have no way of making @ and dollar sign and so on. | 19:12 |
| sharplinux | neocortex: it *looks like* the rsync option would be --exclude='.VirtualBox' if you wanted to (see man rsync | 19:12 |
| hspaans | neocortex: see the --include-globbing-filelist option for rsync | 19:12 |
| H__ | neocortex: with rsync add --exclude='.VirtualBox' | 19:12 |
| greezmunkey | hspaans: ok, from a best practices point of view then, it seems that if you are going to raid anything it would purely be a data partition then? | 19:13 |
| sharplinux | heh | 19:13 |

| joe____ | ChrisBuchholz-> I remember klaatu has a whole segment awhile back on 'the bad apples' | 19:14 |
| neocortex | sharplinux, H__, THANKS A LOT! So, I should do: rsync -a --exclude=.VirtualBox? rsync is better than cp? | 19:14 |
| H__ | neocortex: i prefer rsync in these situations as it can skip parts already done | 19:14 |
| sharplinux | neocortex: that should work - yes, rsync is better (designed for what you're doing), and you're welcome | 19:15 |
| hspaans | greezmunkey: buy a fourth disk and make it raid1+0 | 19:15 |
| neocortex | sharplinux, THANKS! | 19:15 |
| trism | kernel_geek: the program is notify-osd, and it really has not settings to adjust (unless you recompile it) | 19:15 |
| greezmunkey | hspaans: ok, thanks -ikonia as well - it actually helped just to type it out! I think I will rebuild it as you suggest hspaans :) | 19:16 |

| ActionParsnip | vv_: ask your aadmin, they might be nice | 19:54 |
| ActionParsnip | metalgeek: whats the app? | 19:55 |
| vv_ | i have a small doubt | 19:55 |
| ActionParsnip | metalgeek: just right click the .exe file and select "open with wine" | 19:55 |
| Q_Continuum | Ubuntu 10.04, Can't get install disk or upgraded copy (from 9.10) to show any GUI past Grub. Radeon HD3200/HD5770 graphics. Any known fixes? | 19:56 |

| Ignatius | Why does the official download page say 32 bit is for most desktop users? | 19:56 |
| ActionParsnip | vv_: if the user has apps running then yes | 19:56 |
| thewolf | I have wondered that my self | 19:56 |
| vv_ | oh then that would be the problem | 19:56 |
| metalgeek | Ignatius, I was wondering this myself as i use AMD64 | 19:57 |
| Ignatius | Is there some reason a person shouldn't use 64 bit for desktop? | 19:57 |
| ActionParsnip | thewolf: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/03/sync-iphone-and-ipod-touch-in-ubuntu.html | 19:57 |
| metalgeek | Ignatius, I havn't had any trouble with it at all :) | 19:57 |
| hspaans | Ignatius: most people still have 32 bit machines | 19:57 |
| Ignatius | Well I've had serious performance issues, so I was wondering if that meant something | 19:57 |
| oCean_ | Ignatius: it's because most users don't know if they have 32 or 64 bit processor. Suggesting 32 bit is the safest way | 19:57 |
| thewolf | I have iPod nano 5th gen | 19:57 |
| Ignatius | ah | 19:57 |
| Ignatius | I see | 19:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Ignatius: 32bit is still more supported by 3rd party companies (Lexmark for example only make 32bit drivers) | 19:57 |
| sander__ | ActionParsnip, Something is wrong with the smb server.. When I do smbtree from localhost I don't get up my share. | 19:57 |
| JoeMaverickSett | are there any cases where a laptop cannot hibernate because it has no proprietary graphic card installed? | 19:58 |
| hspaans | Ignatius: see popcon.debian.org for example you will see some number about install bases | 19:58 |
| ActionParsnip | sander__: then evaluate the setup | 19:58 |
| BlackFire | metalgeek, not all the windows application run on wine , it depend on the fact the whether wine is built to support it or not | 19:58 |
| metalgeek | ActionParsnip, Lovely to hear from you again, always the best. When i use the sortware center to download wine there are two versions, one marked 'dummy' and one marked 'beta?' | 19:58 |
| ActionParsnip | metalgeek: sudo apt-get install wine will install what you need | 19:58 |
| metalgeek | ActionParsnip, :) | 19:59 |
| sander__ | ActionParsnip, I get theese error messages when I restart the smb server: http://pastebin.com/ftGhLDa9 | 19:59 |
| ActionParsnip | sander__: I'd ask in #samba | 20:00 |
| Scotsman | my indicator aplet doesnt use my other email program :( how do I change this | 20:00 |

| metalgeek | ActionParsnip, Under Window$ there is no point to having a 64bit proccessor, is there any gain under Linux/Ubuntu | 20:02 |
| bau | how can i restart samba? | 20:02 |
| thewolf | let me be more specific of my problem... There is no way for me to transfer videos to my new iPod nano 5th gen... even banshee says it can't read the iPod... any help? | 20:02 |

| rj99 | hi guys, when I use gksudo to shutdown my pc by going gksudo shutdown -P now it interprets now as a second command | 20:03 |
| ActionParsnip | metalgeek: there is a point to 64bit CPU in windows as well as linux | 20:03 |
| erUSUL | rj99: use sudo; shutdown is not a graphical app | 20:03 |
| rj99 | gah | 20:03 |
| rj99 | allright | 20:03 |
| metalgeek | thewolf, I am only noob so sorry if this is incorrect but, My PSP only gets recognised if I connect it before startup | 20:04 |
| ActionParsnip | metalgeek: 64bit helps in audio and video encoding as well as sql servers etc | 20:04 |
| rj99 | is there any other way to shutdown my pc erUSUL | 20:04 |
| erUSUL | rj99: the gnome ui has various ways to shutdown | 20:05 |
| monkey_dust | rj99, have you tried sudo init 0? | 20:05 |
| hspaans | rj99: give hem/her authorisation. see the user authorisation section under system management | 20:05 |
| ActionParsnip | rj99: try: sudo shutdown now -P | 20:05 |
| thewolf | metalgeek: My computer can reconize the iPod (Name and all) and can add music... but I have no program to add videos to it and manually trying to find the folder and codic it needs... help | 20:05 |
| sander__ | ActionParsnip, Kwpolska, Scunizi: Seems like I was using samba4 with samba3 config file. | 20:06 |
| ActionParsnip | thewolf: i believe gtkpod can manage them ok | 20:06 |
| rj99 | monkey_dust: no I havent erUSUL: using awesome not gnome, trying to write a shutdown option for my awesome menu ActionParsnip: I thought TIME needed to be after the flag? | 20:06 |
| ActionParsnip | sander__: just install samba after removing samba4 | 20:06 |
| Kwpolska | sander__: lolwut. | 20:06 |
| * metalgeek rescued by ActionParsnip | 20:06 | |
| metalgeek | cheers | 20:06 |
| sander__ | ActionParsnip, yeah.. worked after I did that. | 20:06 |
| ActionParsnip | sander__: ive seen too many people install samba4 for one reason or another ten get issues | 20:07 |
| monkey_dust | rj99, sudo init 0 shuts down the pc -- sudo init 6 restarts the pc | 20:07 |
| thewolf | ActionParsnip: Tried it... I think with the packages RhythmBox needs to acces the iPod... gtkpod wasn't able to find the iPod at all... I'll try again though... | 20:07 |
| ActionParsnip | rj99: its free to test | 20:07 |
| ActionParsnip | thewolf: i dont use ipod, i have a mind of my own | 20:08 |
| appamajig | lol | 20:08 |
| appamajig | it's just an mp3 player | 20:08 |
| appamajig | same as any other... maybe a little nicer than most | 20:08 |
| DrDamnit | Sometimes, when I setup a static IP in /etc/networking/interfaces, after a while, dhcp still resets the IP away from the static back to what the DHCP server wants it to be. I have resolved this before my uninstalling dhcplient, but it seems like there's a better way. What do you suggest? | 20:08 |
| thewolf | ActionParsnip: I got it for the quality and the videos and the interface... | 20:08 |
| ActionParsnip | rj99: awesome is a window manager, gnome is a desktop environment | 20:08 |
| tiemonster | Is there any way to speed up the boot process? I've already gotten rid of startup applications I didn't deem necessary for a netbook. | 20:09 |
| metalgeek | ActionParsnip, One of the lead guys at BT advised, if you wanna use an ipod, use a windows environment as apple is as evil as M$....lol | 20:09 |
| appamajig | oh yes, Apple is super evil :P they're wourse than doctor evil | 20:09 |
| ActionParsnip | metalgeek: some versions of itunes work with some versions of wine | 20:09 |
| appamajig | wourse=worse | 20:10 |
| metalgeek | ActionParsnip, So i hear, that dosn't make @pple any less irritating | 20:10 |
| thewolf | I have had succes with running iTunes with wine... didn't reconize the iPod at all and wasn't able to acces the iTunnes store | 20:10 |
| ActionParsnip | metalgeek: i avoid their stuf, its overpriced and underspec'd | 20:10 |
| metalgeek | thewolf, sorry dude | 20:10 |
| cruzer | not to mention apple has a cult following | 20:11 |
| rj99 | ActionParsnip: I am aware of that, but im not using gnome panel or anything like that, is there something im missing? | 20:11 |
| thewolf | ActionParsnip: Thought we all have to admit... the company is better than Microsoft | 20:11 |
| ActionParsnip | tiemonster: thats all you can really do dude, reducing stuff is one of the best ways | 20:11 |
| === marc__ is now known as Guest32111 | ||
| appamajig | nah, I like Microsoft better... | 20:11 |
| ActionParsnip | thewolf: dunno, microsoft contribute to stuff outside their own interests occasionally | 20:12 |
| ActionParsnip | thewolf: they also helped make samba afair | 20:12 |
| tiemonster | ActionParsnip: the desktop version seems a bit slower than UNR. Maybe it's the window manager? | 20:12 |
| metalgeek | ActionParsnip, Thinking about taking ECDL, any thoughts? | 20:12 |
| ActionParsnip | rj99: could try +m time instead of now | 20:13 |
| Kittymew | Hey ubuntu gurus: I just installed 10.04, and it doesn't seem to have installed grub into the MBR of any drives. I get the windows bootloader if I boot my windows drive, and if I try to boot the drive Ubuntu is actually installed to, I get "no such disk" | 20:13 |
| Kittymew | and a grub-rescue prompt | 20:13 |
| Kittymew | The disk is there, it booted properly when I had debian 6 on it. | 20:13 |
| ActionParsnip | tiemonster: could try a lighter DE etc, that will make the system boot faster after the services have loaded which it will not affect | 20:13 |
| metalgeek | Kittymew, Reinstall GRUB? | 20:13 |
| ilovefairuz | !grub | Kittymew | 20:14 |
| ubottu | Kittymew: 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. | 20:14 |
| Kittymew | metalgeek: yeah thought I'd drop in and ask for WHY it screwed up before... | 20:14 |
| Kittymew | ...nevermind. Nobody actually knows. | 20:14 |
| Kittymew | Got it. | 20:14 |
| ActionParsnip | wow some people have all the patience | 20:15 |
| thewolf | gtkpod worked... though for the record I could get some of my friends using Ubuntu if it had a more user friendly way of adding anything to any iPod/iPhone | 20:15 |
| sds | I wish to install Wine1.2, but apt responds by telling wine1.2 is already installed. running wine --version tells me the installed version is wine-1.1.42; what do I miss? | 20:16 |
| erUSUL | sds: that wine-1.1.42 is actually 1.2beta | 20:17 |
| greezmunkey | kitteh: that is an issue. I ran into it myself. I used the install cd in rescue mode, and that sucessfully wrote the grub2 mbr | 20:17 |
| === LouisJB_ is now known as LouisJB | ||
| erUSUL | sds: you can add the wine oficial ppa if you want 1.2 final | 20:17 |

| metalgeek | Action Parsnip? | 20:20 |
| sds | erUSUL: ok, thank you for the hint. guess that 1.2 final will be available soon under ubuntu's repo? | 20:21 |
| metalgeek | monkey_dust, You just wanna hug dontcha :) | 20:21 |
| erUSUL | sds: no; ubuntu only updates package versions when a new version of ubuntu comes out. | 20:21 |

| Janhouse | how can I turn off bluetooth permanently? | 20:23 |
| Janhouse | I hate switching it off each time I turn on my laptop... | 20:23 |
| sticky | unhook your bluetooth card | 20:23 |
| Faissal | Janhouse, remove your bluetooth device | 20:23 |
| Janhouse | Faissal, it is built in. I need software solution. | 20:24 |
| metalgeek | Janhouse, I take it thast its built in? | 20:24 |
| Janhouse | It is lame that ubuntu doesn't remember that I turned it off last time I used computer. | 20:24 |
| metalgeek | that | 20:24 |
| erUSUL | Janhouse: you can blacklist the BT modules or use rfkill in /etc/rc.local to switch it off | 20:24 |
| Janhouse | ok, thx erUSUL. | 20:25 |
| monkey_dust | guys, what's the command again to unlock apt? - http://paste.ubuntu.com/468574/ | 20:25 |
| sticky | Janhouse, is it a notebook? unscrew the case, find the bt card, remove the cable. | 20:25 |
| Janhouse | This is kind of stupid that it is not possible to do it from gui.... | 20:25 |
| Faissal | Janhouse, im pretty sure you can find the bluetooth card | 20:25 |
| Faissal | and remove it | 20:25 |
| Janhouse | Faissal, that is not the point. | 20:25 |
| sticky | Janhouse, It's pretty stupid that you have to use a GUI ;-) | 20:25 |
| metalgeek | Glad to see everyone brought there sense of humor tonight... | 20:25 |
| sticky | It's easily done with the shell | 20:25 |
| spiky | Janhouse: have a look in start up apps | 20:26 |
| Faissal | Janhouse, you can maybe disable it in the bios | 20:26 |

| bidaboy | how to change background console | 20:34 |
| Octavio | I've been looking a way to get the ati driver (the open source) working in lucid, it workded perfet(almost) in 9.04 | 20:34 |

| thewolf | ilovefairuz: yes... sigh | 20:35 |
| skreet | bidaboy: oh. | 20:35 |
| ilovefairuz | thewolf: the flash plugin is actually 32 bit and is wrapped to work on 64 bit so there are performance implications | 20:36 |
| Octavio | <ilovefairuz> I just quit the ati graphics from motherboard to check the intel drivers,sorry :S | 20:36 |
| bidaboy | skreet, before starting any desktop | 20:36 |
| erUSUL | Octavio: see what /var/log/Xorg.0.log says | 20:36 |
| thewolf | I tried 32 bit but my fan is broke and it couldn't read the disc.. I had to use the Windows installer from the website and it auto installed the 64 bit | 20:36 |
| skreet | bidaboy: no idea.. also why? | 20:36 |
| thewolf | ilovefairuz: anyway to fix? | 20:36 |
| bidaboy | any one else know to change console background image, | 20:37 |
| ilovefairuz | thewolf: no that i'm aware of. but you can download the 32 bit iso and place it in the same directory as wubi.exe (the windows installer) and it will be detected | 20:37 |
| Octavio | <erUSUL> I'll have to reboot be back in 5 mins, to explain more efficient | 20:37 |

| ilovefairuz | turgon: you could adjust the orientation of the router, it sometimes helps | 21:03 |
| ilovefairuz | EpicCynd: how did you set it to start up ? | 21:03 |
| erUSUL | savid: and the list order depends on the locale. try « LC_ALL=C ls -1 » | 21:03 |

| NerkOne | can you run gui apps on a other users xsession? ex: I log in as user 1 and in a term i su 2 and try to run app xx? | 21:34 |
| xteejx | Hi all. Reformatted laptop and installed XP, then Ubuntu 10.04, and now cannot boot into windows at all, it just keeps rebooting in a loop, help please!!! | 21:34 |
| === |Anon1337| is now known as aetaric | ||
| [4-tea-2] | NerkOne: with a little extra work, yes. | 21:34 |
| EpicCynd | thanks for the help ilovefairuz, seems it was a matter of launching xbmc vs xbmc.bin | 21:35 |
| NerkOne | [4-tea-2]: some tip? | 21:35 |
| EpicCynd | however, still can't get audio to work, and I'll leave that to #xbmc | 21:35 |
| polka53 | dpkg -i b43 ... i have messed up in the configuration and now the dpkg is trying to connect to the internet, how do i force dpkg to configure the package one more time ? Oo | 21:35 |
| ilovefairuz | EpicCynd: np | 21:35 |
| [4-tea-2] | NerkOne: simplest solution might be to "ssh -X" to that other account, because then SSH takes care of all the X authentication stuff. | 21:35 |
| mducharme | afternoon | 21:35 |
| Frijolie | I'm a LAMP noob and don't know what's happened. Hoping someone can help me resolve this error: "ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)" | 21:35 |

| NerkOne | [4-tea-2]: any other ideas? | 21:35 |
| mducharme | is there an easy way of setting up a multiheaded ubuntu box in 10.04? | 21:35 |
| [4-tea-2] | NerkOne: read up on xauth | 21:36 |
| NerkOne | [4-tea-2]: thanks. | 21:36 |
| [4-tea-2] | NerkOne: from my experience, SSH is much less hassle. ;) | 21:36 |
| xteejx | Can anyone help please? I cannot boot windows after installing Ubuntu, YES I googled it and couldn't make anything out | 21:36 |
| Dr_Willis | NerkOne: the 'sux' command may help you 'change' to a different user in a terminal and run a gui app as the new user | 21:36 |
| mducharme | I am finding instructions on setting up multiheaded ubuntu | 21:36 |
| mducharme | but they are all old instructions | 21:36 |
| [4-tea-2] | xteejx: are you sure the Windows partition is still there? | 21:36 |
| Dr_Willis | xteejx: be more clear. xp does boot but then 'crashes/reboots' or what exactly? | 21:37 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 21:45 |

| mducharme | yes, I realized that dr_willis | 21:47 |
| ilovefairuz | Frijolie: try sudo service mysql restart | 21:48 |
| mducharme | random832 this is for a business that is trying to save money | 21:48 |
| Random832 | you might not even need a hard disk if it can net boot | 21:48 |
| Dr_Willis | mducharme: i saw some company ages ago that had some stuff/package that let you set it up rather quickly. their 'free' version of the sioftware i think allowed 2 seats.. I cant even rember its name. | 21:48 |

| mducharme | I know it can, we've been using userful for a long time | 21:49 |
| newcomer123 | this might be a noobish question | 21:49 |
| mducharme | I would still be using it if it worked with unbuntu 10.04 | 21:49 |
| embrik | ActionParsnip: Cheese? Have you tried it? | 21:49 |
| Frijolie | ilovefairuz, hmmm, now it's working? something that simple? if you upgrade mysql it stops the service? | 21:49 |
| newcomer123 | but how do you execute a /bin command from the context of a directory? | 21:49 |

| Frijolie | ilovefairuz, well thanks, sorry I feel like an idiot now. hehe! I should have been able to figure that one out | 21:50 |
| ubottu | eric_3: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 21:50 |
| newcomer123 | right now i have to execute the command from the directory that the configuration file lies in | 21:50 |
| mducharme | it looks like the only way to do this is manual editing of xorg.conf | 21:50 |
| ilovefairuz | Frijolie: you're welcome | 21:50 |

| monkey_dust | evergreenteresa, a bit more specific, please? | 21:52 |
| aloon | Amarok doesnt have sound for me under Lucid or maverick , any variant of mplayer or other player works though | 21:52 |
| aloon | never had that before | 21:52 |
| embrik | I was suggested to use cheese to import video from a sony video camera connected with usb-cable - have anybody of you a y other suggestions? | 21:52 |
| evergreenteresa | well I just select a number of mp3 files and open them with Amarok, and it says something like "too many errors occurred blabla" | 21:53 |
| ActionParsnip | aloon: you may need to install kubuntu-restricted-extras | 21:53 |
| evergreenteresa | monkey_dust, well I just select a number of mp3 files and open them with Amarok, and it says something like "too many errors occurred blabla" | 21:53 |
| monkey_dust | evergreenteresa, 'something like blabla' does not sound very technical | 21:54 |
| lousygarua | newcomer123, what is your question again? try to write it in one message | 21:54 |

| ActionParsnip | evergreenteresa: have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras | 21:54 |
| Maletor | (without line breaks) I want to smash my volume group and all lvms in it. So I guess this means I have to boot from live usb and mount /dev/md1 ? Then chroot ? Then delete the lvm then the vg then remove from fstab? Only thing is I'm confused about the chroot... | 21:55 |

| theRiddler | ilovefairuz, is it needed to use 2 grubs or can i install ubuntu and integrate it to my fedoras grub | 22:33 |
| helios_ | you dont need a separate bootloader for each OS, theRiddler. you can add ubuntu to the existing grub | 22:34 |
| ilovefairuz | theRiddler: no not needed, but that way you'll keep them separate and each minding its own business | 22:34 |

| ilovefairuz | preecher: i just found out there's an error for gyachi on 10.4! | 22:49 |
| RealEyes | i installed it and im dual booting | 22:49 |
| randy_ | RealEyes: there is a manual at www.ubuntu-manual.org, you could start there, they've been working really hard on making something useful for the beginner | 22:49 |
| preecher | will what i done hurt my ubuntu(is it ok just to forget what i done) or do i need to do anything else | 22:49 |
| Oer | RealEyes, i suggest : learn about terminal, synaptic, and try out any software you like, and make backups of important files | 22:50 |
| ilovefairuz | preecher: you could try installing one built for older version, will probably work on lucid too.. | 22:50 |
| ilovefairuz | preecher: first install https://launchpad.net/~loell/+archive/ppa/+build/1806226/+files/gyachi-data_1.2.9-0.1~karmic_all.deb and then install https://launchpad.net/~loell/+archive/ppa/+build/1806226/+files/gyachi_1.2.9-0.1~karmic_i386.deb | 22:50 |
| ActionParsnip | preecher: use a pastebin to give the output of: sudo apt-get update | 22:50 |
| preecher | ilovefairuz i dont wish to try any more | 22:50 |
| Chuck27 | ok ty | 22:50 |

| randy_ | RealEyes: furthermore, the Help, quite literally the help icon on the taskbar, is remarkably helpful for the beginner to find what they're looking for | 22:51 |

| Mqueue | i like ubuntu only if this grub thing gives me a kick everytime | 22:51 |
| ActionParsnip | preecher: if the update runs fine then its ok You can make lots of repos in there for easy management | 22:51 |
| ilovefairuz | ActionParsnip: gyachi (the package he desires to install) has a build error on i386 | 22:51 |
| preecher | ActionParsnip thats why i asked before i posted and u tole it was ok | 22:51 |

| Pici | !root | RealEyes | 23:33 |
| ubottu | RealEyes: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 23:33 |

| kinks | if I want applications to run when after using startx, where do I list them? I do not have a desktop environment, so forget menus. | 23:51 |
| Dr_Willis | wizard_: you are confused as to what mythtv does then. You want somthing like xbmc, enna, boxee, or other media centers. MythTV is primarly a 'record videos and let you watch them DVR type system' browsing the web/streams and stuff is secondaruy. | 23:52 |
| Dr_Willis | wizard_: There MAY be ways to do it in mythtv. but thats not its main goal | 23:52 |
| Dr_Willis | wizard_: theres the #mythtv channel and #mythbuntu channels also. ive not used mythtv in about 2 years. so im not sure of its current features | 23:52 |
| ActionParsnip | kinks: put a symlink to the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications, in ~/.config/autostart | 23:52 |
