| gen_cornwallis | should i upgrade from Windows ME to ubuntu? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| EdLesMann | A quick Nautilus question. I am on Ubuntu Lucid and I have a need to have the sizes displayed in 2 decimal precision instead of 1 (eg 5.36K vs 5.4K) . I can't find anything on Google that tells me how to change it. Does anyone know if it is possible? | 00:00 |
| jimi_ | What is the current ubuntu version? | 00:00 |
| Ryan08 | I have a question. Can you run the netbook version alongside windows | 00:00 |
| gen_cornwallis | yes ryan | 00:00 |
| indigo747 | Ryan08: easily, as far as I know | 00:00 |
| linxeh | jimi_: lucid, 10.04 | 00:00 |
| EdLesMann | jimi - Lucid 10.04 LTS | 00:01 |
| aeon-ltd | Ryan08: yes its called dual booting | 00:01 |
| === Guest87490 is now known as 14WAAZWXP | ||
| Ryan08 | ok thanks | 00:01 |
| indigo747 | EdLesMann: I had a project where I needed really accurate file sizes so I used wc through the command line | 00:02 |
| michaelxq | aeon-ltd: what dual booting fails? | 00:03 |
| michaelxq | aeon-ltd: is there a way to overlap it? | 00:03 |
| EdLesMann | indigo747 - That is how I am doing it now, but it would be really _really_ nice to have it shown in nautilis if possible | 00:03 |
| EdLesMann | I just couldn't ind an option | 00:03 |
| ilovefairuz | EdLesMann: not likely | 00:03 |
| Flomaster | Jordan_U, here is my pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/469073/ | 00:04 |
| aeon-ltd | michaelxq: what do you mean?, you mean overwrite?, cos dual booting is running in parrallel | 00:05 |
| indigo747 | EdLesMann: in Thunar, if you right click and select properties you can see how man bytes it is, nicely comma'd | 00:06 |
| bidaboy | how to create a DNS? | 00:06 |
| indigo747 | bidaboy: do you mean a DNS server? | 00:06 |
| Jordan_U | Flomaster: Ok, that looks correct. Is your user in the admin group? (look in or pastebin /etc/group) | 00:06 |
| michaelxq | aeon-ltd: with dual booting you mean choosing between the two which one to start or working both together? | 00:06 |
| Dr_Willis | bidaboy: you mean run your own dns server? See 'bind' and the books written on its ussage. :) | 00:06 |
| aeon-ltd | bidaboy: you don't but you can run your oen | 00:06 |
| AndyGraybeal | how do i found out what filesystem i'm using? | 00:06 |
| aeon-ltd | *own | 00:06 |
| bidaboy | just the domaine nme | 00:06 |
| bidaboy | name | 00:07 |
| fengshaun_ | how can I change the time it takes for my laptop to suspend? I have put inactivity for suspend in power manager to never, but it still suspends after half an hour or so. | 00:07 |
| Dr_Willis | AndyGraybeal: in what situatuion? 'sudo fdisk -l' shows filesystems and what they are. | 00:07 |
| Jordan_U | AndyGraybeal: "mount" | 00:07 |
| aeon-ltd | michaelxq: dualbooting, when your machine powers up you are given a menu to choose between your OSes | 00:07 |
| bidaboy | ok | 00:07 |
| AndyGraybeal | Dr_Willis: okay thank you; i'll try it | 00:07 |
| ilovefairuz | bidaboy: a domain name needs to be bought from a registrar | 00:07 |
| Jordan_U | Dr_Willis: Actually fdisk doesn't show filesystem information, only partition table info (which includes some limited information about partition type that somewhat correlates to filesystem type most of the time). | 00:08 |
| AndyGraybeal | Jordan_U: thank you! | 00:08 |
| EdLesMann | indigo747 - nautilis will show byte size but I just need two decimal place and at first I was doing it manually, but now I wrote a script to do it using wc. again, it would just be nice to have it in the file manager. are there other file managers that might do it? | 00:08 |
| Jordan_U | AndyGraybeal: You're welcome. | 00:08 |
| bidaboy | ilovefairuz,i heared that bind can do it, no? | 00:08 |
| ilovefairuz | bidaboy: no | 00:08 |
| indigo747 | EdLesMann: I don't know, but if MidnightCommander might do it | 00:08 |
| randy_ | bidaboy: you're trying to get your own domain name right, but you don't know how it all works? | 00:08 |
| EdLesMann | OK, well thanks for the help guys. I appreciate it. I will go bug the nautilis directly. :-) | 00:09 |
| bidaboy | randy_, yes | 00:09 |
| michaelxq | aeon-ltd: if you installed windows at an external drive and ubuntu at your primary disk you can't boot your pc without your external drive..that's my problem...do you know any command to overlap that menu and start ubuntu? | 00:09 |
| orsh | soreau thnx solved the problem | 00:09 |
| soreau | orsh: I figured it would ;) | 00:10 |
| orsh | see u man and thnx a lot again | 00:10 |
| randy_ | bidaboy: ok, here's the deal: you go to godaddy.com (or whatever is cheapest) and you find the name you want. if its taken, you can auction for it if its available, otherwise, your out of luck | 00:10 |
| michaelxq | aeon-ltd: is there any command to start ubuntu, like 'start ubuntu'? | 00:10 |
| randy_ | bidaboy: once you've got a name, you can assign a DNS server to your domain name through your registrar | 00:10 |
| orsh | soreau have a nice day,i must to go now | 00:10 |
| randy_ | bidaboy: most registrars provide their own DNS services, though, and they are usually free | 00:10 |

| randy_ | ilovefairuz: fine. i was getting to the point, but ok. | 00:11 |
| aeon-ltd | michaelxq: no, but i assume GRUB is on your external disk which is odd. you should have installed GRUB on your primary with ubuntu, then have windows on the external without the grub bootloader, or have both oses on one disk | 00:11 |
| Jordan_U | michaelxq: Actually, I don't think I need that info. | 00:11 |

| KB1JWQ | bidaboy: Time to research how DNS works. | 00:13 |
| KB1JWQ | bidaboy: At a minimum you'll need to spend a few bucks for your domain name, and set up an A record pointing host.domain.com to your IP. | 00:13 |
| Jordan_U | michaelxq: Select only your external drive (and *no* partitions), for the other questions leave then at their default (some will be blank, that's normal). | 00:13 |

| Flomaster | Jordan_U, my line now looks like this [admin:x:119:xbmc] | 00:19 |
| michaelxq | i installed Ubuntu at my primary disk and mint at my external and GRUB is shown only if i boot with my external because GRUB is installed at my external. what can i do? | 00:19 |
| shawncm217 | ilovefairuz: I will do that. However, the link says it will work for Firefox & Chrome/Chromium. Everything seems fine in Chromium. That still leaves me with the question of where best to submit a bug; Ubuntu, Mozilla or Adobe? | 00:20 |
| soreau | eduardiyo: Does ifconfig and iwconfig show your interfaces? | 00:20 |
| ilovefairuz | michaelxq: boot the livecd and install grub on internal disk | 00:20 |
| eduardiyo | soreau, wait | 00:20 |
| aeon-ltd | michaelxq: install grub on your primary :) | 00:20 |

| aeon-ltd | michaelxq: i can't guarantee perfect automagic-ness though | 00:21 |

| ilovefairuz | shawncm217: ubuntu | 00:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | ilovefairuz, you need to use "sudo fdisk -l" to see anything. michaelxq | 00:21 |
| eduardiyo | soreau, wait, I need to post the query to show you | 00:21 |

| eduardiyo | soreau, http://pastebin.com/fUisgNsE but after was be eth3, why now eth1 and how can I resolve the problem please? | 00:23 |
| shawncm217 | ZykoticK9: No luck with the instructions in the link you sent. | 00:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | eduardiyo, eth3 would "typically" mean the fourth ethernet card in your system. Do you really have multiple ethernet adapters? | 00:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | shawncm217, sorry, no other suggestions. Good luck. | 00:24 |
| soreau | eduardiyo: I don't know but you probably need to find whatever file is telling it to look for eth3 and change it to the correct value. Perhaps try 'grep -Rn eth3 /etc' | 00:24 |
| eduardiyo | ZykoticK9, no, but Ubuntu detect the broadcom bcm4311 like eth3 | 00:24 |
| eduardiyo | ok soreau wait and thanks | 00:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | eduardiyo, interesting, hopefully that eth3 will work with wireless! | 00:25 |

| its-me-again | hi all is ffmpeg a good audio and video converter | 00:28 |
| ilovefairuz | shawncm217: i suspect the issue is because of the plugin wrapper (since there are no 64 bit versions of flash any longer) you may try installing the 32bit iso! | 00:28 |
| soreau | eduardiyo: No problem but the only way I knwo to get it to connect at boot time is to stop nm-applet and NetworkManager from starting, then write your own script to connect and put it in /etc/rc.local | 00:28 |

| randy_ | mas: i don't know what cover gloobus is, but, for all installations of that sort, there needs to be an entry in /etc/apt/sources.list ; if you found the site for that on launchpad.net, there should be a section indicating what to put in that file | 00:29 |

| soreau | eduardiyo: I don't know | 00:30 |
| randy_ | mas: once the line is added to sources.list, you simply need to add the key (also noted on launchpad.net if its a ppa), and install it from Synaptic (etc...) | 00:30 |

| ZykoticK9 | konq90, i don't think there is a lot you can do to improve the speed of X over SSH. If you are doing a lot of remote GUI stuff you might want to try NX remote desktop stuff (i'm only tried it a tiny bit, but it's known for it's speed) Good luck. | 00:42 |
| MisterK85 | chrissharp123: I can't get into a GUI, throws X into low graphics mode. | 00:42 |

| ZykoticK9 | MisterK85, i'm pretty sure you can ignore that error. i believe i've seen that in my vbox as well. | 00:44 |
| chrissharp123 | MisterK85: sorry - that's an expression that means you might be focusing on something unrelated to the problem at hand :-) | 00:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | MisterK85, it is the 32bit version of Ubuntu that you're trying to install right? | 00:45 |

| MisterK85 | I can't get into an actual GUI, just low graphics mode. Can't edit the config, only go to bash. | 00:46 |
| MisterK85 | And yes, 32-bit version is installed. | 00:46 |
| MisterK85 | (even though my CPU is 64-bit) | 00:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | MisterK85, ya but you'd need a 64bit host OS WITH virtualization support in CPU. | 00:46 |
| MisterK85 | I know. I rather 32-bit lol. | 00:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | MisterK85, actually i think a 32bit CPU with virt support can do 64bit guests in Vbox now. | 00:47 |
| nerdy_kid | my mouse lags while playing games -- ubuntu lucid nvidia geforce. help anyone? | 00:47 |
| === Mac_Man is now known as LinuxMint | ||
| ZykoticK9 | nerdy_kid, does turning compiz off prior to starting the game make any difference? | 00:48 |
| nerdy_kid | ZykoticK9 using kwin - no. it is just the mouse, the gfx themselves arnt laggy. furthermore it happens at intervals of about 10-20 seconds. | 00:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | nerdy_kid, i only ask because compiz has some very strange effects on the mouse in 10.04. mouse pointers in particular (not really laggy issues though) | 00:49 |

| nerdy_kid | ZykoticK9 yeah not compiz...im messing with my xorg conf currently -- managed to disable my synaptic (mouse) drivers but still no change..... | 00:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | nerdy_kid, ? sorry no other suggestion. What's "kwin"? What game(s)? | 00:50 |
| soreau | ZykoticK9: kwin is a window manager like compiz or metacity | 00:50 |
| squarebracket | where's the gdm config file? | 00:51 |
| soreau | nerdy_kid: Does it make a difference if you use a different window manager other than kwin? | 00:51 |
| nerdy_kid | ZykoticK9 kwin == kde window manager. basicly any game that uses the mouse lol | 00:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | squarebracket, what are you trying to do? | 00:51 |
| nerdy_kid | soreau i actually killed the window manager all together and ran some games with no change | 00:51 |

| BluesKaj | Mr_Sonoma, understood , I suppose he has tivo desktop on windows | 01:20 |
| puff | Mr_Sonoma: I can't say I'm expert at it, but I've been mucking with tivo stuff. | 01:20 |
| puff | BluesKaj: Yeah, that's what we ended up using. | 01:20 |
| puff | BluesKaj, Mr_Sonoma: I had coded up a script to fetch and reencode tivo files, but the big problem was the fetching... large files, and for some reason very, very slow... | 01:21 |
| BluesKaj | pytivo works well on linux as well, puff...better actually , it gives more options for tivo file storage on one's pc | 01:21 |
| puff | BluesKaj, Mr_Sonoma: We theorize that you're not actually getting the raw file, but rather that the tivo is doing some on-the-fly reencoding, on a fairly lame CPU... | 01:22 |
| puff | BluesKaj: Good to know, but as I said, the problem was I'd use curl to fetch the file, it would run for a couple of hours and then time out. | 01:22 |

| jerald | edbian, I removed the compiz but the problem keeps on going | 01:35 |
| nwidger | ZykoticK9: however it seems that this should have affected more users than just me. i did not mess with any of the init/upstart/mysql config files and this began happening immediately have i performed an update. seems strange... | 01:35 |
| edbian | jerald, Did you turn compiz off or just uninstall it? There is a very big difference:) | 01:35 |
| jerald | I removed the compiz.. uninstall it.. | 01:35 |
| jerald | edbian, uninstall | 01:36 |
| xover | has anyone setup neatx? | 01:36 |
| Searayman | hey i try running entertainer and am getting this error ImportError: cannot import name cluttergtk | 01:36 |
| ZykoticK9 | nwidger, VERY strange indeed. remember what was updated! | 01:36 |
| edbian | jerald, System -> Preferences -> appearances -> desktop effects tab. What is it set to? | 01:36 |
| nwidger | ZykoticK9: do i remember? not particularly, this happened last thursday | 01:36 |
| edbian | jerald, uninstalling software does not stop the current instance from running. It essentially makes it so that the system can never start that process again until that software is re-installed. | 01:37 |

| EliteXRay | Hi | 01:37 |
| jerald | edbian, hold on.. | 01:37 |
| EliteXRay | Is unbuntu better than fedora? | 01:37 |
| Searayman | yes | 01:37 |
| jenny-48 | yes | 01:37 |
| EliteXRay | how? | 01:37 |
| Searayman | its name | 01:37 |
| EliteXRay | Oh cmon | 01:37 |
| Searayman | jk | 01:37 |
| trojan_spike | EliteXRay, it depends on the user | 01:37 |
| jenny-48 | less resource intensive | 01:37 |
| Searayman | i can not honestley say i was just beign a fan boy sorry | 01:37 |
| slidinghorn | EliteXRay, that's a very subjective question...what do you look for in a distro? what do you need it for? | 01:37 |
| EliteXRay | I read on a forum that lots of engineers are on ubuntu | 01:38 |
| jerald | debes, it's ok now.. | 01:38 |
| Searayman | hey i try running entertainer and am getting this error ImportError: cannot import name cluttergtk | 01:38 |
| jenny-48 | more user friendly, lots more reference material online , lots more support | 01:38 |
| edbian | EliteXRay, Is an blue better than red? | 01:38 |
| trojan_spike | alot of works is being done on ubuntu ,, but fedora is still a good o.s | 01:38 |
| jerald | debes, it works back to it's original state.. hmmm wubi issues... tsk tsk.. | 01:38 |
| edbian | EliteXRay, It's only better if you like it more. | 01:38 |
| pancakez | join #default | 01:38 |
| ilovefairuz | EliteXRay: try for your each | 01:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | nwidger, i'm really not too good with mysql and services under upstart right now :( and my google-fu is fail so far :( | 01:38 |
| rewati | whenever i am trying to remove any of them i am getting this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/469097/ | 01:38 |
| pancakez | woops | 01:38 |
| wiesshund | Ubuntu is better than redhat because ubuntu has cooler version names :) | 01:39 |
| EliteXRay | I just figure that there would be distinctive difference between the two linuxes | 01:39 |
| mas | alguien sabe como instalar el centro de software de lucid en karmic (ya que muestra los ppa) | 01:39 |
| Mr_Sonoma | puff, BluesKaj sorry got called away by family. my question was what utilities i would need to mount a hard drive out of a tivo in a hard drive enclosure and recover the data into a playable format | 01:39 |
| jenny-48 | what I need are answers to how to get the 'pop ups' I use in mIRC over to Xchat | 01:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | wiesshund, "ubuntu is better..." is an off-topic channel discussion | 01:39 |
| jenny-48 | how can I store short one line messages , like my description file as a pop up using XChat ? | 01:40 |
| ilovefairuz | EliteXRay: package management and system configuration tools | 01:40 |
| aldoug | ilovefaruz: http://pastebin.com/YX1z30S0 | 01:40 |
| edbian | EliteXRay, fedora is more "pure" because red hat does not develop for it alone. Ubuntu does develop for only themselves. The notifications are a good example of this. | 01:40 |
| Mr_Sonoma | BluesKaj, he wasnt able to see the drive in windows and thats the reason he is bringing it to me. the drive can be "seen" but isn't readable through windows | 01:40 |
| nwidger | ZykoticK9: sadly that post hasnt been much help. ive already looked at /etc/init/mysql.conf, /etc/init.d/mysql and the files in /etc/rcN.d/ and everything looks fine. i looked at the config files in /etc/mysql and they also look ok. i tried changing the bind address in /etc/mysql/my.cnf to '0.0.0.0' as some other people said that has fixed their problems with mysqld not starting up but sadly that didnt nothing, too. | 01:40 |
| EliteXRay | Pure insinuates a good quality of fedora? | 01:40 |
| wiesshund | jenny-48>> Xchat uses perl. youd need to rewrite the scripts | 01:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | nwidger, you're currently using both the old and new methods of starting services! | 01:41 |
| nwidger | ZykoticK9: the fact that i see no error messages in any of the log files is also really frustrating | 01:41 |
| edbian | EliteXRay, The developments that red hat make are contributed to kernel mostly which is used jointly by every distro. Although fedora does have a custom little differences. I don't know about them as much because I don't use fedora. | 01:41 |
| ilovefairuz | aldoug: pastebin: lspci | 01:41 |
| edbian | EliteXRay, They're of equal quality in my opinion. | 01:41 |
| EliteXRay | I just want to understand why engineers chooses ubunutu over fedora heh | 01:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | nwidger, i'd concentrate on the /etc/init/ file for sure (that "should" be upstarts config) | 01:42 |
| EliteXRay | excuses my typos | 01:42 |
| nwidger | ZykoticK9: i dont know which files are actually being used by upstart. the /etc/rcN.d/mysql files are just symlinks to /etc/init.d/mysql, which is just a wrapped to 'service start msql' it looks like | 01:42 |
| slidinghorn | EliteXRay, only advice I can really offer is to give both a try and see which works better for you :) | 01:42 |
| EliteXRay | I'm currently on fedora. Works pretty nice imo | 01:42 |
| aldoug | ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.com/xdYtbQ39 | 01:42 |
| edbian | EliteXRay, Do you mean engineers as in people with engineering degrees? Where did you get this statistic? I'd like to research it as well? | 01:42 |
| ilovefairuz | EliteXRay: you'd have to be more specific about what you're trying to compare and join #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:42 |
| EliteXRay | I came across this http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-644448.html | 01:42 |

| alexxville | can anyone help? | 01:45 |
| nwidger | ZykoticK9: then why talk about them in upstart scripts? | 01:45 |
| erkmaned | slidinghorn thank's :) sorry, I don't know very well the irc-commands :) I'm a newbie on irc =) | 01:45 |
| ilovefairuz | !details | alexxville | 01:45 |
| ubottu | alexxville: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 01:45 |
| alexxville | hi, i have a dell dimension 2400 with Intel 82845G/GL/GE Chipset graphics and i can't seem to boot into the gnome GUI after the splash, it just turns black or it just makes my monitor go on standby. thanks and help is appreciated :D | 01:45 |
| alexxville | ubuntu version 10.04 | 01:45 |
| ilovefairuz | erkmaned: write, /join #ubuntu-fr | 01:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | nwidger, backwards compatibility i imagine | 01:45 |
| jenny-48 | how can I store short one line messages , like my description file as a pop up using XChat ? | 01:45 |
| slidinghorn | erkmaned, no problem :) do you have an ubuntu-related support question that we can help you with? | 01:46 |
| erkmaned | ilovefairuz thank's, it's great ^^ and to send a private-msg ? :D | 01:46 |
| ilovefairuz | erkmaned: write /msg username your-message | 01:46 |
| ilovefairuz | !pm | erkmaned | 01:47 |
| ubottu | erkmaned: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 01:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | jenny-48, try #xchat good luck :) | 01:47 |
| trojan_spike | same for here ilovefairuz pm's | 01:47 |
| ilovefairuz | trojan_spike: pardon me? | 01:47 |
| trojan_spike | sending pm's.. how to | 01:48 |
| ilovefairuz | trojan_spike: scroll up and read | 01:48 |
| nwidger | ZykoticK9: ok well ive checked all the sanity checks in the 'pre-start script' portion of the config file. /etc/mysql/my.cnf exists and is readable, and /var/run/mysqld exists and is a directory with size of at least 4096 bytes. | 01:49 |
| trojan_spike | .?? yea?? | 01:49 |
| jerald | debes, another question. How can I change my log in window? I can't see login window configuration on my adin | 01:49 |
| puff | Mr_Sonoma: Ah, well... I don't know much about the tivo's internals, but there are communities out there about that. | 01:50 |
| enav1 | V.I.S.T.A. == Virus, Infections, Spyware, Trojans, Adware | 01:50 |
| ilovefairuz | !ot | enav1 | 01:50 |
| ubottu | enav1: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 01:50 |
| jerald | how can I change my my log in window.. | 01:50 |
| puff | Mr_Sonoma: Assuming that the files are stored internally as .tivo files, you can reencode them with ffmpeg. | 01:50 |
| enav1 | give me a little break mom | 01:50 |
| mas | someones help me please, i have a synaptics touchpad in my laptop and in windows 7 i can make gestures like rotating images, zoom, with two fingers, but in ubuntu 9.10 i cant make these, 3 days ago i type a comand in the terminal for view the touchpad information and in the fingers tab show only one finger detected when i have two or three. I saw last week that synaptics make the linux gesture suit but i ca | 01:51 |
| mas | <mas> nt find the download link in the synaptics page. Sorry by my bad english | 01:51 |
| puff | Mr_Sonoma: Though if pytivo can do it, you'd probably be better off. | 01:51 |
| ilovefairuz | jerald: change what? theme? | 01:51 |
| jerald | yeah.. theme for my log in | 01:51 |
| ilovefairuz | mas: the gesture suit is not released yet | 01:52 |
| jerald | ilovefairuz, yeah login theme | 01:52 |
| Mr_Sonoma | puff, thanks. if i can simply mount the drive and use ffmpeg to re-encode then that'll work. I've saved the link to pytivo just incase. this is a one time thing so even if i have to use CLI utilities to get this done that's ok. | 01:52 |
| ZykoticK9 | nwidger, does "sudo service mysql start" work properly? | 01:52 |
| Mr_Sonoma | puff, the object is solely to recover the saved data | 01:52 |
| ilovefairuz | jerald: not possibly in gdm 2, i think only the background can be changed | 01:52 |
| mas | thanks, do you know when?? | 01:52 |
| nwidger | ZykoticK9: yes it does | 01:52 |
| ilovefairuz | mas: no i don't | 01:52 |
| erkmaned | See u, everrybody, I'm gonna to the #ubuntu-fre chan's :) | 01:52 |
| nwidger | ZykoticK9: im assuming when the pre-start script in /etc/init/mysql.conf is executed, it's executed as root? | 01:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | nwidger, lol. i got nothing man. hopefully someone else has a suggestion! | 01:53 |
| puff | Mr_Sonoma: well, like I said, this is assuming that the files on the drive are in the same .tivo format that you get when you download them with tivo to go or tivo desktop. | 01:53 |
| ridin | i can't get to any websites | 01:53 |
| jerald | ilovefairuz, yeah.. because when I used ubuntu 9.04, I can easily change the them.. | 01:53 |
| BluesKaj | Mr_Sonoma,is the drive from his tivo or his pc? | 01:54 |
| ilovefairuz | ridin: open a terminal and type: dig google.com | 01:54 |
| mas | ok thanks | 01:54 |
| Mr_Sonoma | puff, i understand. thanks hopefully that's the situation. | 01:54 |
| jerald | ilovefairuz, is there any tweak or something? | 01:54 |
| Mr_Sonoma | BluesKaj, from the tivo | 01:54 |
| ridin | ilovefairuz, it's working now, but thanks anyway | 01:54 |
| ilovefairuz | jerald: not in newer version | 01:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | nwidger, i really miss System / Administration / Services right now ;) | 01:54 |
| nwidger | heh | 01:54 |
| ilovefairuz | !who | mas | 01:54 |
| ubottu | mas: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 01:54 |
| Hilikus | is it possible to burn 2 ISOs to a single disk? | 01:56 |
| Hilikus | they fit, but i don't know if the hierarchy will get screwed | 01:56 |
| Searayman | how do i rebuild python-clutter | 01:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | Hilikus, not if you want them both to work ;) | 01:56 |
| LorgonJortle | Does anyone else using Empathy experience a huge lag and sometimes a non-responsive period when opening an IRC channel/account? | 01:57 |
| Mr_Sonoma | BluesKaj, PM? | 01:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | Hilikus, that would require some sort of 3rd party boot mechanism to select which to boot | 01:57 |
| BluesKaj | Mr_Sonoma, I suggest you ask for more advice on #tivo, it's actually the best pave , because tivo discussion is cpnsidered offtopic here. | 01:58 |
| Filipp-bnc | I just installed the server edition, but i cant seen to get a picture on my screen, anyone knows what causes the problem? | 01:58 |
| Mr_Sonoma | BluesKaj, that channel's been dead for hours. first place i went | 01:58 |
| === Filipp-bnc is now known as Filipp | ||
| ZykoticK9 | Filipp, server is text only by default | 01:58 |
| SGA|DiabetikCrys | wow there are a lot of ppl in here | 01:59 |
| Filipp | how do i access it? | 01:59 |
| jerald | ilovefairuz, I hope the next release they will put it back where it belong.. hmmm there are too many packages that I love on ubuntu 9.04 | 01:59 |
| BluesKaj | Mr_Sonoma, is the tivo connected to your network? | 01:59 |
| ilovefairuz | flipp: install the desktop version | 01:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | SGA|DiabetikCrys, yes there are, do you has an Ubuntu support question? or want to help? If not use #ubuntu-offtopic for just general chit-chat ;) | 01:59 |
| Mr_Sonoma | BluesKaj, thats honestly the only reason i asked here. figured it was semi-ontopic since my question was the possibility of being able to mount the FS. I understand that the tivo FS is a modified ext2 | 02:00 |
| Mr_Sonoma | BluesKaj, wish it was but its not. | 02:00 |
| Hilikus | thanks ZykoticK9 | 02:00 |
| BluesKaj | yes afaik | 02:00 |
| Filipp | k, but shouldnt i get some picture on my screen, it just stands there blinking the on button | 02:00 |
| ZykoticK9 | Filipp, that sounds like plymouth might be failing! | 02:01 |
| BluesKaj | Mr_Sonoma,that's why pytivo works so well | 02:01 |
| ilovefairuz | flipp: you'll get a picture if you install the desktop version, not server | 02:01 |

| pickle_ | i accidentally removed my audio button from the taskbar, how do I add it? thanks. | 02:02 |

| ilovefairuz | pickle_: alt+ f2, the type: gnome-volume-applet and press enter | 02:02 |
| Mr_Sonoma | BluesKaj, ok thanks, when he gets the drive to me i'll check it out. might have to ask a few more questions once i see what i've got. like i said right now i'm asking questions to prepare for what i'm getting myself into since its a tech i've not played with before. | 02:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | pickett_, to use the default. right click / add to panel / indicator applet | 02:03 |

| Filip0 | I just installed the server edition, but when i boot the screen turns off, does anyone know what the problem can be? | 02:10 |
| wiesshund | Filip0>> you should mention that your power light goes into sleep mode immidiately as well | 02:11 |
| ilovefairuz | konq901: http://root.cern.ch/drupal/content/cint | 02:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | Filip0, you might want to cross post to #ubuntu-server (although cross posting is generally frowned upon) | 02:12 |

| korokos | I want to install xfce and remove gnome interface how do i do this? | 02:13 |
| jerald | guys I think I have problem with my audio.. | 02:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | !purexfce | korokos | 02:13 |
| ubottu | korokos: If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » | 02:13 |
| dale | That is what I though but the OS is not recognizing it, it is a nano usb, when i do lsusb it is showing up but the keyboard keys don't register | 02:13 |
| jerald | I already check the sound level but I can't hear any sound.. | 02:14 |
| korokos | thank you for an answer | 02:14 |

| ilovefairuz | !sound | jerald | 02:14 |
| j800r | jerald, are you using Gnome or KDE? | 02:14 |
| ubottu | jerald: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 02:14 |

| ZykoticK9 | nimbiotics, is this related to flash clicking? | 02:15 |
| j800r | ok. nevermind that. are you using a default ubuntu install | 02:15 |
| meeman2010 | have malaysian citizen here | 02:15 |

| nimbiotics | ZykoI have no idea... | 02:16 |
| j800r | er | 02:16 |
| j800r | why did i tab myself. let me try that again | 02:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | !tab > nimbiotics | 02:16 |
| ubottu | nimbiotics, please see my private message | 02:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | nimbiotics, ok just checking | 02:16 |
| j800r | jerald, which application are you trying to play sound through | 02:16 |
| jerald | j800r, anything like mp3, movies, youtube.. | 02:21 |
| j800r | have you installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras? | 02:21 |
| jerald | j800r, I am still installing lspci -v | less | 02:21 |
| j800r | it may not be an audio issue if you haven't installed the restricted extras, it may be a codec problem | 02:22 |
| j800r | one of the first things to do after installing ubuntu is to install the restricted extras. it doesn't come with support for proprietary formats out of the box | 02:23 |
| jerald | j800r, what is that installed the restricted extras? | 02:23 |
| jerald | j800r, How will I install this restricted extras? | 02:23 |
| j800r | open a terminal, type in "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" | 02:23 |
| jerald | j800r, okay after I finish install lspci -v | less | 02:24 |
| jerald | j800r, what is this restricted extras? what are they and what do they do? are these codecs? | 02:27 |
| jerald | j800r, restricted extras now installing.. | 02:27 |
| j800r | !restricted | jerald | 02:27 |
| ubottu | jerald: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 02:27 |
| j800r | ugh, i expected it to say more than that | 02:28 |
| jerald | j800r, simple explanation only.. please.. | 02:28 |
| Saturn2888 | I upgraded to Ubuntu Lucid and now when logging in, I find it takes at least 50 sec just to authenticate me to user and also a long time to authenticate me as root. Why is this? | 02:28 |
| j800r | basically, with a fresh install with windows, things like mp3, avi formats and other stuffs are supported by default, with ubuntu, you have to install the restricted extras to get mp3, flash, java support etc | 02:29 |
| aloon | fn-Fkey virtual terminal is a blank screen , ive tried searching very hard but can't find out how to remedy this. | 02:29 |
| j800r | Saturn2888, have you installed all updates? | 02:29 |
| jerald | now the restricted extras are one of the first thing to install after installing ubuntu lucid.. is that it? | 02:29 |
| aloon | All I can find is people with the same problem | 02:30 |
| j800r | jerald, yes. after any ubuntu install, not just lucid | 02:30 |
| test34 | jerald, if you need it | 02:30 |
| j800r | test34, don't confuse the guy | 02:30 |
| j800r | if he's come from windows, he DOES need it | 02:30 |
| aloon | jerald do you have Nvidia or ATI graphics driver ? | 02:31 |
| jerald | j800r, is restricted extras includes when you update? | 02:31 |
| j800r | no. you install it manually | 02:31 |
| j800r | how i said to | 02:31 |
| aloon | If so then you might need to do some reading on installing the driver. I can give you some good links if you need. | 02:31 |
| jerald | okay | 02:31 |
| flomaster | anyone know the command line to open the Gstreamer GUI | 02:31 |
| j800r | aloon, how would graphics drivers affect his sound? :\ | 02:32 |
| aloon | I meant if he just installed lucid | 02:32 |
| flomaster | I am having some pulse audio / alsa audio problems | 02:32 |
| ilovefairuz | flomaster: there's no "gstreamer" GUI. what are you trying to do ? | 02:32 |
| jerald | j800r, I have to install this to my laptop to.. | 02:32 |
| aloon | my video card is my soundcard ... as an example | 02:32 |
| ilovefairuz | flomaster: gnome-volume-applet ? | 02:32 |
| j800r | aloon, i do wonder actually. my soundcard is soundmax hd, yet alsa reads it as nvidia | 02:33 |
| j800r | which is the same as my graphics card and chipset | 02:33 |
| Saturn2888 | j800r: yes | 02:34 |

| ZykoticK9 | Temperatures missing in Conky Ubuntu Lucid Theme. Screenshot at http://imagebin.org/106774 conkyrc at http://pastebin.com/JFHnjKnw I assume the problem lies in "CPU: ${goto 868}${execi 4 sensors | grep -A 0 'temp2' | cut -c15-18} ºC" as running "sensors | grep -A 0 'temp2' | cut -c15-18" in a terminal returns nothing.

| jamil_1 | Hello, any suggestion for recording mouse action for creating macros and playing them afterwards ? | 02:36 |
| Saturn2888 | j800r: haha, no. I did notice that there were a boatload of console-kit-daemon --no-daemon which got loaded. Maybe that's the issue? There's gotta be an easier way to find out what's happening after I enter my password correctly | 02:36 |
| Saturn2888 | j800r: this is via terminal btw. | 02:37 |
| j800r | ahhh | 02:37 |

| ilovefairuz | Ivis: low-spec hardware ? | 03:10 |
| Ivis | ilovefairuz nop | 03:11 |
| picard1421 | >its not working.. w.e.. beyond that i have a very simple question that can probably be answered here... is it better to get memory that is at clock 2000 Mhz but the latency is 10-10-10-30... or ram with clock 1600 and latency 7-7-7-20? | 03:11 |
| test34 | Ivis, is hardware acceleration enabled? | 03:11 |
| Ivis | test34 yes | 03:11 |
| test34 | Ivis, you got a URL ? | 03:12 |
| Ivis | test34 http://youtube.com | 03:12 |
| test34 | Ivis, ok I dont know then.. | 03:13 |
| Ivis | test34 you don't have any lag when you enter into full ? | 03:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | Ivis, fact of the matter is, flash on linux is probably not as good as on Windows or Solaris even :( You might want to try youtube with html5 at http://www.youtube.com/html5 in chromium. Good luck. | 03:13 |
| ilovefairuz | zerhash: something abnormal about parition spacing on sdb, you could install on sda and make it the first boot disk in bios | 03:14 |
| test34 | ivis, no | 03:14 |

| generic | is there a way to render x264 with pitivi? | 03:15 |
| generic | Openmovie editor is broke, and pitivi keeps render brokenvids | 03:15 |
| ilovefairuz | zerhash: it's only the MBR that will be installed, all files will still remain on sdb | 03:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | generic, i'm gonna guess that x264 will be an issue of pitivi (probably due to ffmpeg aac license issue), but i have no idea. good luck man. | 03:16 |
| zerhash | ya im not playing with that drive | 03:16 |
| zerhash | its tapped right now | 03:16 |
| ilovefairuz | zerhash: the MBR is very small and won't touch your files on sda | 03:17 |
| generic | well its also failing to render any other format | 03:17 |
| generic | including the natgive ogg shit | 03:17 |

| JoeMaverickSett | Lucid 10.04 | 03:38 |

| shorttech | Mr_Sonoma, great! I just deleted my Mandriva distro | 03:43 |
| rww | JoeMaverickSett: yeah, there's rather a jumble of version numbers. Considering that upgrading it isn't supported and would probably end up breaking things, I'd recommend just leaving it alone. | 03:43 |

| hypetech | randy_ I'm connecting my laptop to my wireless router as normal, then I'm using the ethernet port on the laptop to share the connection to a computer, and that works fine. I also want to share to a second computer though, and when I hook the shared ethernet connection from the laptop into a switch, both clients won't work | 03:44 |
| randy_ | hypetech: no big deal. did you assign IP addresses manually? | 03:47 |
| randy_ | hypetech: are you doing connection sharing through something like firestarter? | 03:47 |
| wrektjet | wiesshund,thats a helpful tip for the future. i think the problem was i was using the wrong case. it si case sensitive for file names? correct? | 03:47 |
| shorttech | Hi guys any idea why I cant move my mouse between monitors??? | 03:47 |
| === ross is now known as Guest85409 | ||
| wiesshund | wrektjet>> Everything in linux is case sensitive | 03:48 |
| hypetech | randy_ I tried that, the connection sharing in ubuntu creates a new 10. network while my router's network is 192., so I assigned manual 10. to both the clients I was trying to connect to the switch but they still wouldn't work at the same time | 03:48 |
| hypetech | I'm just doing sharing through NetworkManager | 03:48 |
| randy_ | hypetech: yeah, connection sharing doesn't quite work right in Network Manager... reluctantly. ok. let me guess, you assigned 192.168.(something).10 to *both* computers | 03:49 |
| wrektjet | wiesshund, right ok thnx. i usually just do e/thing lowercase for some reason i renamed this file in upper. there used to be an option in folder view that would show a text adress for the current folder but that seems to be gone in 10.04. i really liked that though | 03:49 |
| wiesshund | hypetech>> you didnt assign both pc's same addy did you? | 03:49 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| hypetech | randy_ no. I mean the connection sharing creates a 10.x.x.x network and no I didn't give them both the same address :p | 03:49 |
| randy_ | hypetech: ok ok, you understand of course why i would ask ;) just taking care of the easy stuff first ;) | 03:50 |
| wiesshund | wrektjet>> ctrl L | 03:50 |
| hypetech | randy_ no worries :) | 03:50 |
| randy_ | hypetech: now, the way i would do it is much simpler than dealing with NetworkManager, even though it *seems* more difficult at first. we can install and verify, rather quickly, through the command line, whether or not this works, which of course it will. there are only a few steps to this. | 03:51 |
| hypetech | randy_ sure I'm willing to give anything a shot | 03:51 |

| === Filip0- is now known as Filip0 | ||
| wrektjet | wiesshund, thnx lots | 03:53 |
| randy_ | hypetech: step 1) wireless connectivity (the bridge). step 2) turn on routing (hella important) step 3) assign a network to the ethernet port. step 4) assign IP's from that network to devices on the switch plugged into the ethernet port) | 03:53 |

| zerhash | sweet got grub working | 03:56 |
| phanindra | how shall i edit /etc/fstab? | 03:56 |
| randy_ | hypetech: there are (2) ways we can do this, depending on which one you would prefer. would you like to (a) extend your network so that you don't have a sub-subnet for the switch or (b) would you like a true wireless bridge that allows DHCP to reach the connection-shared devices? | 03:56 |
| randy_ | hypetech: wait, that was the same option worded differently. the other option is a sub-subnet like you've been trying to do up to this point | 03:56 |
| hypetech | randy_ whichever is easier, I can manually assign the addresses easily enough if necessary. I don't need them on a different subnet than the main internal network | 03:57 |
| randy_ | hypetech: you should probably pm me, so we can go through this ;) | 03:58 |

| kschwangfelder | hi all. I was in here yesterday getting help. basically, to recap, I have a computer with an asus k8v se deluxe mobo. for whatever reason, the only way I could get windows xp installer to see the sata hard drive was to tell the bios to treat it as a one disk raid. so windows xp is installed. now I want to dual boot with ubuntu 10.04, but the ubuntu installer does not see that drive. however, when I boot to liveCD ubunt | 04:14 |
| kschwangfelder | u, ubuntu sees the hard drive and lets me partition it. even after making partitions, though, the installer cannot see the drive. any suggestions on how to get around this? | 04:14 |
| rww | gp5st: "date +%U" in the terminal | 04:14 |
| rww | gp5st: that's with Sunday as the first day of the week. Change the U to V for Monday | 04:15 |
| rww | ... and I think %U might be zero-indexed for some reason. "man date" has all the format options. | 04:16 |
| gp5st | rww, thank you:) | 04:16 |
| gp5st | i didn't see it in my man page | 04:16 |

| LinuxFetus | Hey I would like to install Ubuntu have an old computer that's an 800 MHz AMD x86-based PC with 256 MB RAM and 30 GB HDD. I burned a CD-ROM of it, inserted it in, made sure my BIOS was booting from a CD before the HDD. However, when I started it up, the BIOS said something like: "Boot from ATAPI CD-ROM failed" very briefly before moving to the Windows ME loading screen. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance :) | 04:22 |

| mcurran | Did you try to use a usb instead | 04:22 |
| shockmount | test34: ok lol | 04:22 |
| mcurran | maybe your optical drive has a loose connection or is bad, try checking connections or updating firmware for optical drive | 04:23 |

| shorttech | enav1, 2 | 04:25 |
| shorttech | enav1, both are nvidia | 04:25 |
| smythe | hey guys, i just installed ubuntu and i wanted to install epic, but in the ./configure step it warns me with that I need to download (preferably with apt-get) the ncurses-dev or ncurses-devel | 04:25 |
| enav1 | same model i guess | 04:25 |
| smythe | anyone can tell me the command? | 04:25 |
| LinuxFetus | mcurran: I don't have access to the internet on that computer (it's really old and the OS is incredibly broken). Is there a way to check to see if my CD-RW drive is working properly? I mean, I can load CDs and stuff from Windows, I believe. | 04:25 |
| thune3 | kschwangfelder: the workaround you performed to get XP running, just seems incorrect. Being someone who doesn't know how to install ubuntu on to this "broken" raid array, I personally would look for how to fix the original problem (maybe update bios). | 04:26 |
| shorttech | enav1, nope, unfortunately its not the same model | 04:26 |
| enav1 | shorttech: go private | 04:26 |
| rww | smythe: sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev | 04:26 |
| shorttech | enav1, how?? | 04:26 |
| LinuxFetus | mcurran: Yeah, my brother (the primary user of that computer) tells me that he gets CD's from games working all of the time. I was just thinking that perhaps my computer is too dated for 10.04. | 04:26 |
| smythe | rww thank you let me try that | 04:26 |
| abhijit | LinuxFetus, this page have some results have a look: http://www.google.co.in/search?sourceid=chrome&client=ubuntu&channel=cs&ie=UTF-8&q=Boot+from+ATAPI+CD-ROM+failed+ubuntu | 04:26 |
| rww | smythe: though if by "epic" you mean the IRC client, it's in the repositories anyway, so not much point in compiling it. | 04:27 |
| mcurran | Did you try doing the boot menu key at startup, and not just the default boot order, because that sometimes resets on old pc's | 04:28 |
| LinuxFetus | abhijit: I don't think that post has any replies, correct? I didn't install it yet, though (I was trying to boot live first). | 04:28 |
| owner | Hello. My Google Foo has failed me. I have a "Cricut Personal Electronic Cutter" and I want to find a way to use it with Ubuntu. | 04:28 |
| abhijit | LinuxFetus, ok | 04:28 |
| wrektjet | ok b4 i destroy my fstab can i ask: can i just delete the line regarding /dev/fd0 ? i dont even have a floppy drive. | 04:28 |
| LinuxFetus | mcurran: Do you mean press the F-key that interrupts startup and select which device to boot from? | 04:28 |
| mcurran | I just had a PC that reset the boot order I set in BIOS on every restart, so I had to press F10 and select USB or CDROM | 04:28 |
| bobwest51 | mcurran , what else can ido besides ndswrapper? | 04:29 |
| mcurran | yes | 04:29 |
| hemant_ | I am using lucid lynx on macbook pro (dual boot) | 04:29 |
| hemant_ | I cant get the ctrl+alt F1-F6 working | 04:29 |
| hemant_ | I just get a blank screen with a blinking cursor, no login prompt. | 04:29 |
| LinuxFetus | mcurran: I'll try that. | 04:29 |
| mcurran | what chip are you using? type lspci | grep 802 | 04:29 |
| silampaf | hello | 04:31 |
| LinuxFetus | mcurran: Was that chip question directed toward me? | 04:31 |
| abhijit | !who | mcurran | 04:31 |
| ubottu | mcurran: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 04:31 |
| abhijit | yes this time I right!!! | 04:31 |
| mcurran | yeah, I was going to redo that comment, but couldn't find who was having trouble - It's directed to the ndiswrapper fella | 04:32 |
| bobwest51 | oh | 04:32 |
| === Sup|Lobby is now known as Sup|Away | ||
| bobwest51 | well its a linksys wu300n pci | 04:32 |
| bobwest51 | but i have to reboot back into ubunto to do that in terminal | 04:33 |
| bobwest51 | this will take lite years | 04:33 |
| mcurran | bebwest51 I need the chip info though, so type this in terminal and paste it here: lspci | grep 802 | 04:33 |
| sweetpi | mcurran: its lsmod not lspci | 04:34 |
| LinuxFetus | mcurran: I tried pressing every f-key during the BIOS repeatedly - only DEL would do anything and it takes me to setup. | 04:34 |
| smythe | anyone can help? trying to install epic5-1.0* and although i have downloaed the ncurses-del after it prompted me to do so with a warning right after the ./configure when i did make | 04:34 |
| bobwest51 | ok i will and come back . this will take like 5 mins brb thanks | 04:34 |
| mcurran | sweepi, no actually it's not. | 04:34 |
| smythe | it prompted an error: cannot find -lperl | 04:34 |
| sweetpi | mcurran: your trying to grep mac80211 correct? | 04:34 |
| rww | !info epic5 | smythe | 04:35 |
| ubottu | smythe: epic5 (source: epic5): epic irc client, version 5. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0-2 (lucid), package size 554 kB, installed size 1528 kB | 04:35 |
| rww | any particular reason you're not using the repository package? | 04:35 |
| abhijit | hello zkriesse | 04:35 |
| mcurran | no I just want the lscpi output for the wlan0 card, which would be narrowed down with grep '802.11' etc | 04:35 |
| smythe | rww asking me? if yes, i really don't know :) (newbie) | 04:35 |
| bobwest51 | i dont know of any other than the directions on the web site | 04:35 |
| rww | smythe: just do "sudo apt-get install epic5". It's generally better to use our repository packages than compiling your own. | 04:36 |
| smythe | ok | 04:36 |
| bobwest51 | i cant find nswrapper when i searched drivers on install disk | 04:36 |
| mcurran | Like here is my output of that command: 02:07.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) | 04:36 |
| owner | Hello. My Google Foo has failed me. I have a "Cricut Personal Electronic Cutter" and I want to find a way to use it with Ubuntu. | 04:36 |
| smythe | rww thank you, lets see now :) | 04:36 |
| mcurran | so I'm using a broadcom chip 4318 | 04:36 |
| sweetpi | mcurran: not all cards report that way | 04:36 |
| LinuxFetus | mcurran: I think the minimum recommendations or whatever were 1.0 GHz... and this is from 2000-ish and is only 800... do you think 10.04 wasn't designed with such old hardware/BIOS/fimware in mind? | 04:36 |
| mcurran | no | 04:36 |
| bobwest51 | ok i be back gmmie 5 mins | 04:37 |
| bobwest51 | thanks | 04:37 |
| juboba | damn guys | 04:37 |
| smythe | rww i do not see it from the terminal (am i not looking..hard enough? :) | 04:37 |
| mcurran | LinuxFetus: I've got linux mint running on pentium II's | 04:37 |
| juboba | I'm so damn high right now | 04:37 |
| rww | !ot | juboba | 04:37 |
| ubottu | juboba: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 04:37 |
| bobwest51 | acrtuall , im gonna fire up the old laptop , can come in here and boot this back up on ubuntu | 04:37 |
| juboba | is there a marihuana channel? | 04:37 |
| wrektjet | whats an easy way to see the currently mounted drives thier UUID and their sytem tyopes? thanks | 04:38 |
| rww | smythe: don't see what? you type that in the terminal, it installs it, you can run it with the command "epic5" | 04:38 |
| juboba | sorry | 04:38 |
| mcurran | juboba maybe if you spelled it right | 04:38 |
| smythe | rww thanks again (as i said, newbie) | 04:38 |
| LinuxFetus | mcurran: What version? 9 is > 650 MB and thus would use up a CD-R and not a CD-RW.... | 04:38 |
| smythe | hm, but it looks now like it needs a script... | 04:38 |
| rww | mcurran: that is spelled right ;P | 04:38 |
| LinuxFetus | I think tried DSL and a couple others already but they didn't work. | 04:39 |
| mcurran | I used a USB | 04:39 |
| LinuxFetus | Knoppix | 04:39 |
| LinuxFetus | Chakra | 04:39 |
| rww | smythe: If you're a newbie, epic probably isn't the easiest IRC client to use... | 04:39 |
| LinuxFetus | DSL | 04:39 |
| smythe | rww hm | 04:39 |
| smythe | what are you using? | 04:39 |
| LinuxFetus | And an obscure distro. But yeah... do you have Linux Mint 9 on your Pentium II's? Or an older version? | 04:39 |
| rww | smythe: irssi, but you probably want something graphical like xchat | 04:39 |
| slinkeey | Hello | 04:40 |
| smythe | rww i have that already... but i think i am doing something else (among many other things) wrong...right now with this bitchx client i have a lot of 'disconnects' after idling.. | 04:40 |
| smythe | it jumps servers/networks | 04:41 |
| smythe | 'jumps' :) | 04:41 |
| slinkeey | I have have somethingt hat I run in terminal and then leave up.. is there any way to make it more streamlined so it isn't hanging out in the way? | 04:41 |
| rww | smythe: using bitchx isn't a particularly good idea | 04:41 |
| slinkeey | I know I can switch desktops | 04:41 |
| smythe | rww why? | 04:41 |
| rww | ubottu: bitchx | 04:41 |
| ubottu | bitchx (also known as ircii-pana) was dropped from Debian and subsequently Ubuntu (see: http://dy.fi/afb). Consider using irssi or weechat instead. | 04:41 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 04:41 |
| enav1 | ye ye ye | 04:41 |
| rww | smythe: it's not supported any more, and has known security vulnerabilities | 04:41 |
| smythe | oh i see thank you! | 04:41 |
| rww | So yeah, if you're looking for command-line IRC clients, I'd recommend irssi or weechat, as the bot says. | 04:42 |
| rww | (sudo apt-get install irssi, or sudo apt-get install weechat) | 04:42 |
| smythe | and apt-get irssi? | 04:42 |
| randy_ | smythe: yeah, i'm running irssi, not bad at all | 04:42 |
| smythe | ok thanks | 04:42 |
| ActionParsnip | !irc | 04:42 |
| ubottu | A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines | 04:42 |
| ActionParsnip | clients listed on that page :) | 04:42 |
| smythe | ok let me see, does it have tab? | 04:43 |
| smythe | command/etc completin? | 04:43 |
| slinkeey | hello | 04:43 |
| rww | smythe: yes | 04:43 |
| smythe | ok, thank you again | 04:43 |
| ActionParsnip | can someone please tell me the default file search tool in Ubuntu? | 04:45 |
| smythe | now...i have two (more serious i think) problems, one is memory use (it looks like it 'takes' up alot of memory and the usage increases gradually | 04:45 |
| semi-nub | ok this is a semi-noobish question. i was trying to remove univerasl access from my top panel and i removed the evolution mail checker thingy instead, and i couldnt get rid of universal access icon. any idea how i can remove universal access icon and get back my mail cheker >< | 04:45 |
| smythe | it peaks to the max (1 gb) and then somehow drops to mid 500mb | 04:45 |
| smythe | and i am not running much (other than the...gnome) | 04:45 |
| smythe | what's with that? anyone knows? | 04:45 |
| enav1 | ActionParsnip: gnome-search-tool | 04:46 |
| smythe | meaning? | 04:46 |
| rww | ubottu: memory | smythe | 04:46 |
| ubottu | smythe: If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html | 04:46 |
| Kk2 | if i install nvidia driver from ppa in my ubuntu will come the x64bits version? | 04:46 |
| smythe | thank rww | 04:46 |
| smythe | and one last question ( i hope) | 04:47 |
| smythe | it has to do with sound.. | 04:47 |
| smythe | when viewing youtube video or playing sound in general, the video color fades on and off | 04:47 |
| ActionParsnip | enav1: cheers dude | 04:48 |
| smythe | to gray and returns to full color and the sound is almost like buffered...can't increase the volume...it is distorted... | 04:48 |
| enav1 | np | 04:48 |
| semi-nub | hi everyone. im having some problems running conky. when i set it to autostart at boot up it flashes and disappears. is there some kind of wait command i can use or anything to make it work right? | 04:48 |
| ActionParsnip | enav1: is it a seperate app or is it rolled into nautilus? | 04:48 |
| enav1 | is a gnome tool suit | 04:49 |
| enav1 | i guess is older than nautilus | 04:49 |
| wrektjet | what does the entry utf8 mean in fstab? | 04:49 |
| shorttech | enav1, thank you | 04:49 |
| ActionParsnip | semi-nub: make a small script to make it wait until everything loads, then start it. 10 seconds should be enough | 04:49 |
| enav1 | shorttech: hey buddy i thought you destroy your video settings LOL | 04:49 |
| enav1 | shorttech: everything works great now? | 04:50 |
| ActionParsnip | wrektjet: its the encoding of the characters in the file names | 04:50 |
| semi-nub | ActionParsnip: how would i do that? >< | 04:50 |
| shorttech | enav1, nope... I had to make another change and it worked.. | 04:50 |
| enav1 | ActionParsnip: i want to lear scripting under Linux i think is cool | 04:50 |
| enav1 | shorttech: very good any way im jealous becuase i got only 2 display you got 3 damnit | 04:51 |
| ActionParsnip | semi-nub: make a script someplace with the command: sleep 10; conky & after the usual bash header line: #!/bin/bash then add it to your startup items and remove the current conky startup item | 04:51 |
| shorttech | enav1, yep... I have 2, 22 INC and 1, 32 INC | 04:51 |
| wrektjet | ActionParsnip, not totally clear what that means. but im guessing i dont want to enter it in my new line for automounting? | 04:51 |
| ActionParsnip | wrektjet: you can add it if you want | 04:51 |
| enav1 | shorttech: i got 22" and 18.5" samgsun | 04:52 |
| ActionParsnip | enav1: it's not hard, start with simple stuff, then build up | 04:52 |
| wrektjet | ActionParsnip, aight. saving and rebooting now. fingers crossed | 04:52 |
| enav1 | shorttech: i will show you something insane | 04:52 |
| ActionParsnip | wrektjet: make sure you chmod the script as executable | 04:53 |
| shorttech | enav1, ok... | 04:53 |
| enav1 | shorttech: http://is.gd/dINj7 | 04:53 |
| enav1 | shorttech: im so jealous about that guy | 04:54 |
| shorttech | enav1, awesome!!! | 04:54 |
| enav1 | awesome is not enough | 04:54 |
| shorttech | enav1, I wonder how he got the 3d to work with multiple screens | 04:54 |
| semi-nub | actionparsnip: like this? http://fpaste.org/LB78/ | 04:54 |
| enav1 | lol | 04:54 |
| wrektjet | ActionParsnip, umm i was editing fstab. so nothing to chmod right? | 04:54 |
| enav1 | shorttech: just activate it that is all | 04:54 |
| ActionParsnip | wrektjet: no, the chod was aimed at semi-nub | 04:55 |
| shorttech | enav1, I was never able to get my 3d to work with multiple screen on Mandriva | 04:55 |
| shorttech | enav1, I havent tried on ubuntu yet | 04:55 |
| shorttech | enav1, this is my first day with ubuntu | 04:55 |
| ActionParsnip | semi-nub: yes but without the space in #!/bin/bash | 04:55 |
| enav1 | i personally feel that mandrive have good video performance but with buggy video image | 04:55 |
| ActionParsnip | semi-nub: you can't just add spaces because it takes your fancy | 04:55 |
| ActionParsnip | semi-nub: you also don't need the semicolon | 04:56 |
| semi-nub | actionparsnip: heh im not sure how to make scripts reall | 04:56 |
| enav1 | shorttech: ho good... you are wellcome here... this is a big comunity with trolls included :) | 04:56 |
| ActionParsnip | semi-nub: you will also want an ampersand after conky so the process is backgrounded | 04:56 |
| semi-nub | actionparsnip: so remove semicolon and space and its correct? and an ampersand? | 04:57 |
| enav1 | shorttech: let me give your a couple of links to pimp your ride | 04:57 |
| ActionParsnip | semi-nub: http://fpaste.org/ie9V/ | 04:57 |
| shorttech | enav1, thats why I decided to switch - the community for Mandriva its kind small | 04:57 |
| ActionParsnip | semi-nub: then chmod +x the file so it is e(x)ecutable | 04:57 |
| TWCAIWH | t | 04:57 |
| semi-nub | actionparsnip:ok thank you very much i shall try | 04:58 |
| ActionParsnip | shorttech: its a shame, mandriva is cool | 04:58 |
| RealEyes | j/ #conky | 04:58 |
| mawst | Does anyone know what I need to do to make Burg give me a normal vga console (no framebuffer because I use real nvidia drivers)? Right now I get video mode not supported until gdm pops up | 04:58 |
| shorttech | ActionParsnip, yes Mandriva is cool, I have been using for about 12 months | 04:58 |
| ActionParsnip | shorttech: was my first linux back when it was mandrake | 04:58 |
| shorttech | ActionParsnip, the community is really small though and you cant find much help online | 04:58 |
| shorttech | ActionParsnip, now I have to learn to use gnome | 04:59 |
| shorttech | ActionParsnip, Mandriva was mostly KDE | 04:59 |
| ActionParsnip | shorttech: install kubuntu then, it uses kde | 04:59 |
| wiesshund | gnome is very easy | 04:59 |

| ActionParsnip | shorttech: its a fine DE. I tend to use LXDE these days | 05:00 |

| Jp82191 | Still need help with ubuntu not recognizing my dvd drives. i checked the plugs there all good and they worked perfect when i was running karmic what 6 months ago | 05:06 |
| semi-nub | actionparsnip:that worked perfectly thanks | 05:07 |
| semi-nub | now if i can just figure out how to remove the universal access icon in the top panel and get my evolution icon back up there :/ | 05:08 |
| enav1 | Jp82191: try to test your drives on a karmic live cd just to discard drivers problem on lucid | 05:08 |
| piotrb | are there any alternatives to canonical landscape for managing package updates across a few boxes? | 05:08 |
| ActionParsnip | semi-nub: no worries dude, compiz was loading over the top so you needed conky to chillout before running | 05:08 |
| paranoidphreak | hi everybody, i'm currently downloading a video off of a website and i'm able to watch the downloaded part but once that downloaded segment is finished i have to relaunch the video file. is there anyway of the system doing this automatic instead of me relaunching the file? | 05:08 |
| ActionParsnip | piotrb: apt-cacher | 05:09 |
| Jp82191 | enav1: what do you mean i don't understand | 05:09 |
| semi-nub | actionparsnip: cant get the temperature to work in conky either lol | 05:09 |
| ActionParsnip | piotrb: you can upgrade one box online then the others can simply use the debs it has cached | 05:09 |
| ActionParsnip | semi-nub: do you have sensors installed etc | 05:09 |
| wiesshund | Jp82191>> he is saying try to boot a 9.10 liveCD | 05:10 |
| semi-nub | actionparsnip: yes i believe so | 05:10 |
| enav1 | Jp82191: i mean... turn off your computer put a Karmic CD run Live CD mode and test your DVD drive just to discard some possibility about drivers issue on Lucid | 05:10 |
| ActionParsnip | semi-nub: I used to use this, stopped using conky now: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/conky-a-light-weight-system-monitor-for-ubuntu-linux-systems.html | 05:10 |
| Jp82191 | kk ill be back | 05:10 |
| piotrb | ActionParsnip: I was looking more for something with a web gui I could see my box's packages .. seems like apt-cacher wouldn't work that well across diffrent box configs | 05:10 |
| ActionParsnip | piotrb: it will work with all ubuntu boxes though as the packages are identical (assuming you use all the same releases) | 05:11 |
| enav1 | Jp82191: is your DVD stuff works on a karmic live CD that mean you got a driver incompatibility issue on your lucid | 05:11 |
| wrektjet | unsuccessful with fstab edit :( | 05:11 |
| ActionParsnip | piotrb: you can use: dpkg -l > ~/list.txt to see the packages installed in a text file | 05:11 |
| Jp82191 | ok so im going to shutdown and see if i can get the live cd to work | 05:12 |
| enav1 | ill be here | 05:12 |
| Jp82191 | weird it picks up the cd in the desktop | 05:12 |
| Jp82191 | but not the dvd im trying | 05:13 |
| wiesshund | Jp82191>> maybe try a different dvd? | 05:13 |
| Jp82191 | ok | 05:13 |
| Jp82191 | Its 2 drives thats why | 05:13 |
| enav1 | you need to restart your pc and run the karmic live CD | 05:13 |
| sweetpi | Jp82191: maybe its a cdrom drive, and not a dvd drive :) | 05:13 |
| Jp82191 | lol both are dvd rw | 05:14 |
| Jp82191 | so 1 drive doesn't pick up the live cd | 05:14 |
| Jp82191 | the other does | 05:14 |
| wiesshund | perhaps one drive has taken a dirt nap :( | 05:14 |
| Jp82191 | wiesshund: i think so too | 05:15 |
| Jp82191 | thats some shit | 05:15 |
| Jp82191 | 1 drive works the other seems dead | 05:15 |
| Jp82191 | still opens & closes tho | 05:16 |
| sweetpi | Jp82191: ide? | 05:16 |
| Jp82191 | yea both are ide i checked all the wires already all seem good | 05:16 |

| Random832 | what's this "properties" of which you speak? | 05:18 |
| sweetpi | Jp82191: ya know.. the master/slave/cable select jumper block | 05:18 |
| wrektjet | Random832, if you go to the hdd/partition in the gui and right click then select properties | 05:18 |
| ActionParsnip | wrektjet: yes, or you can use auto but specifying it is useful | 05:18 |
| Jp82191 | One should be master and the other slave? | 05:18 |

| gen_cornwallis | my vlc freezes up then starts to do crazy HDD activity | 05:39 |
| ActionParsnip | ridin: because you are using the c-korn ppa version which isnt maintained by canonical | 05:39 |
| red2kic | Because vlc is under universe | 05:39 |
| ubuntu456 | So I guess I have to install another package to activate "Personal File Sharing" | 05:39 |

| === BrendenB is now known as Guest55706 | ||
| shawnboy | ActionParsnip, ok, yeah. But 1) do I need to manually enter anything into resolv.conf and 2) do I need to somehow disable net manager? | 05:51 |
| ActionParsnip | shawnboy: if you set a static IP you wont have to wait for DHCP to succeed but you will have to manually set DNS servers (you can use 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and they are defined in /etc/resolv.conf). You can then remove network manager and such as they are now no use to you which will make your system use less resources and boot faster | 05:51 |

| === Guest87973 is now known as brummbaer | ||
| rww | shawnboy: dhclient deals with resolv.conf using the information it gets from your dhcp server | 05:52 |
| ActionParsnip | shawnboy: as you wont have to wait for network manager to 1) load and 2) configure stuff | 05:52 |
| ubuntu456 | SalmonSam, natilus-share also has green rectangle beside it, I presume it shows it has been installed already | 05:52 |
| ActionParsnip | rww: set it to static and you dont have to wait for dhcp. If its never going to move then this is a very viable option | 05:52 |
| rww | shawnboy: and yes, if you're using /etc/network/interfaces you should remove network manager. It's not supposed to interfere, but it sometimes does. | 05:52 |
| shawnboy | rww, remove, or can I simply disable somehow at first to make sure all works ok? | 05:53 |
| rww | ActionParsnip: waiting for dhcp takes maybe a second or two for me, and it happens in parallel with other bootup stuff. I wouldn't be too concerned. | 05:53 |

| ActionParsnip | shawnboy: if you install a local dns too you can cache resolutions and make DNS take 0ms rather than ~30ms and makes the internet faster | 05:54 |
| shawnboy | ActionParsnip, rww, I understand both views. I have my pfsense set to assign same IP via dhcp according to MAC. I like not having to fool with other stuff that way. | 05:55 |
| * red2kic wasted ~2000ms of his time to type this message. | 05:55 | |
| shawnboy | after setting up interfaces file, how would I 1) only disable net man and 2) remove (apt-get remove ...?) | 05:56 |
| rww | shawnboy: no idea about 1), but 2) would be "sudo apt-get purge network-manager" (and say yes if it complains that it has to remove network-manager-gnome) | 05:57 |
| ActionParsnip | shawnboy: you can remove it from the bootup, or you can remove it using apt-get / software-centre | 05:57 |
| shawnboy | rww, point well taken, but still at least it's all setup in one place (my pfSense box which controls PS3 and several client PCs) as opposed to each of several clients. | 05:57 |

| ActionParsnip | uLinux: sure, wort thing that will happen is you will get no boot and need to use livecd to edit the boot option out | 06:07 |
| red2kic | uLinux: Looks safe to me. | 06:08 |
| devin | ActionParsnip, fretsonfire says a bunch of stuff ending in pygame.error: No available audio device even though an hour ago the game played fine | 06:08 |
| lox_ | ActionParsnip, xchat-gnome has notification applet support so it is nice too ;) | 06:08 |
| ActionParsnip | uLinux: keep the current boot options though or you will lose plymouth | 06:08 |
| ActionParsnip | devin: ok then run: ps -ef | grep -i fret are there any processes around which smell like FoF (it's an awesome game) | 06:08 |
| uLinux | hmm never edit the grub with live cd | 06:08 |
| uLinux | edited | 06:08 |
| disturbedmime | kschwangfelder: yes, you need the 'alternate' install disk, it contains many drivers on the local cd that the normal installer doesn't have, but you don't get the pretty install interface (anaconda instead) | 06:09 |
| ActionParsnip | uLinux: you'll just mount the partition using the places menu then run: gksudo nautilus You can then access you partition via it's UUID in /media and edit the file, its that simple | 06:09 |
| disturbedmime | kschwangfelder: although i can't guarantee it will work for you | 06:09 |
| disturbedmime | kschwangfelder: just out of curiosity, the disk is visible in BIOS right? | 06:10 |
| kschwangfelder | disturbedmime: I just ran the alternate cd I have, and it still did not see a hard drive. do I have to alert it that I need access to these extra drivers, or does this mean that it probably won't work? | 06:10 |
| kschwangfelder | yeah, the bios sees it | 06:10 |
| kschwangfelder | it boots xp just fine | 06:10 |
| kschwangfelder | but with xp, I had to use a floppy to introduce a driver to see the SATA disk | 06:11 |
| ActionParsnip | kschwangfelder: your fancy controller may need extra modules | 06:11 |
| uLinux | ActionParsnip: does it mount the partition automatically? | 06:11 |
| devin | ActionParsnip, what was that supposed to do? it just gave me devin 13239 13171 0 22:09 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto -i fret | 06:11 |
| Beamin | @find the realdeal | 06:11 |
| disturbedmime | kschwangfelder: hmm, i didn't need to do anything other than tell it that i wanted to create a raid interface, are the drives on separate hardware controllers | 06:11 |
| disturbedmime | ? | 06:11 |
| kschwangfelder | ActionParsnip: can you elaborate? how do i get these modules/introduce them during the install? | 06:12 |
| ActionParsnip | devin: ok then thats the grep running, it lists the processes running containing the word fret (case insensitive) | 06:12 |
| pipeep | I have a friend with a bcm43xx that keeps dropping out | 06:12 |
| ActionParsnip | kschwangfelder: it depends on the controller you use, there is no single answ | 06:12 |
| pipeep | do you think it would be a good idea for me to suggest she try ndiswrapper? | 06:12 |
| ActionParsnip | uLinux: using the places menu, yes | 06:12 |
| devin | ActionParsnip, i should add that system monitor lists amarok as a zombie process after i quit it | 06:12 |
| kschwangfelder | disturbedmime: I am not sure I understand the question. there are two pairs of sata interfaces. one is the promise SATA378, and the other is VIA or something like that | 06:12 |
| ActionParsnip | devin: then kill it off | 06:12 |
| devin | ActionParsnip, it can't be killed | 06:13 |
| ActionParsnip | kschwangfelder: run: lspci it wil say and you can web search for the controller to find guides | 06:13 |
| ActionParsnip | devin: kill -9 PID | 06:13 |
| disturbedmime | kschwangfelder: ok, so are both hard drives using the same controller or are they on separate controllers? if they are on separate controllers, try moving them to the same controller | 06:13 |

| disturbedmime | kschwangfelder: oic, ok in that case, boot off the live CD, run an 'lspci' or some type of hardware inspection tool, figure out what hard drive controller you have, then determine which kernel module you need to either enable or d/l and install, then start the installer normally | 06:15 |
| disturbedmime | kschwangfelder: after enabling the driver of course... | 06:16 |
| ActionParsnip | kschwangfelder: in a terminal. Press CTRL+ALT+T to fire one up | 06:17 |
| kschwangfelder | disturbedmime: ok, so this is getting into unfamiliar waters, so let me make sure I understand. I run the liveCD, open a terminal, run lspci, figure out which module I need and get it via apt-get. | 06:17 |
| ActionParsnip | devin: no, the PID, the PID is the leftmost number in the identifying line | 06:17 |
| kschwangfelder | will the installer then have access to that module | 06:17 |
| === carlos is now known as Guest32373 | ||
| devin | ActionParsnip, i have no idea what you are talking about, but anyway, this time when i quit amarok it didn't do the zombie thing, and then when i started fretsonfire it started up with no problem | 06:17 |
| ActionParsnip | kschwangfelder: you'll run lspci, make a note of the controllers ship then get online to search for it and how to make it run under linux | 06:18 |
| ActionParsnip | devin: the PID is a number given to a process and ALL OSes use them | 06:18 |
| ActionParsnip | devin: if you run: ps -ef | head -n 15 you will see the colomn headers, intead of the name, you can use the PID | 06:19 |
| disturbedmime | kschwangfelder: correct, you may also want to check /etc/modules in the fresh install to ensure that the module is loaded, it may also require a grub call | 06:19 |
| disturbedmime | kschwangfelder: its likely that if someone else has run into this, that they have documented it on a wiki so that you can follow along | 06:19 |
| kschwangfelder | ActionParsnip/disturbedmime: okay, I will try this suggestion. booting liveCD as we speak. | 06:19 |
| devin | ActionParsnip, ok so PID is like another way of specifying the program? i don't get it. so it seems to me the problem is that amarok and fretsonfire are somehow interfering with one another | 06:19 |
| kschwangfelder | disturbedmime: grub is the bootloader, correct? what do you mean by i might need a grub call? | 06:20 |
| devin | ActionParsnip, because fretsonfire doesn't have that audio problem after amarok is quit | 06:20 |
| ActionParsnip | devin: yes, its the identifiier of the process, computers dont use words, they use numbers. The kernel is always process 0 (or it may be 1) so if you want to manipulate a process you will need its PID (PID stands for [P]rocess [I][D]entifier) | 06:21 |
| flomaster | I tried googling this, but came up empty. can I assign a Fkey to open an application like pressing ctrl+F6 will open the app? | 06:21 |
| disturbedmime | kschwangfelder: yes, grub is the bootloader (the program that lets you pick ubuntu or windows) | 06:21 |
| ActionParsnip | devin: maybe amarok is tying up stuff. Do you use KDE? | 06:21 |
| disturbedmime | kschwangfelder: you probably won't need to mess with grub, and if you do, the package manager should take care of that as part of the install | 06:21 |
| devin | ActionParsnip, amarok is KDE but the rest of my system is gnome i think. I'm a noob with ubuntu | 06:22 |
| wiesshund | flomaster>> http://www.captain.at/howto-gnome-custom-hotkey-keyboard-shortcut.php ? | 06:22 |
| flomaster | wiesshund: thanks man | 06:23 |
| ActionParsnip | devin: that may be a factor then, the kde app may be doing weird things under gnome | 06:23 |
| devin | ActionParsnip, i am also having to run it as root so that it has permission to get into my MacOS's music folder | 06:24 |
| ActionParsnip | devin: oh jesus no | 06:24 |
| devin | ActionParsnip, i haven't been able to figure out how to get the permissions changed on the music folder | 06:24 |
| sweetpi | and they wept | 06:24 |
| ActionParsnip | devin: you set them at mount so that users can get access. running apps unnecessarily as root is a recipe for disaster | 06:25 |
| devin | ActionParsnip, set what at mount? | 06:25 |
| JoshStrobl | Is a md5sum file required for installing themes via .deb? | 06:25 |
| ActionParsnip | devin: the access | 06:25 |
| ActionParsnip | JoshStrobl: not really, you can use the md5 to check the data is complete and consistant | 06:26 |
| JoshStrobl | Ok Thanks :) | 06:26 |
| JoshStrobl | Do you know of a way to get make md5sums of all files in a directory? Instead of one by one? | 06:26 |
| crash-my | hi all | 06:27 |
| devin | ActionParsnip, right, so how do i do that? i vaguely remember something about that when i was adding an automount entry to the fstab file? | 06:27 |
| ubuntu456 | "Personal File Sharing -> Share public Files on network" is still disabled after I installed samba and restarted computer so I guess I need another package but wht is the name ??? (natilus-share also is installed) | 06:28 |

| ubottu | devin: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 06:29 |
| bullgard4 | [screen on a remote computer] My ssh connection showed: "Write failed: Broken pipe." I re-established the ssh connection. '~$ ps aux' shows that the processes screen and irssi still exist. How can I get Irssi again as my display image? | 06:29 |

| bullgard4 | s/again/back/ | 06:30 |
| devin | ActionParsnip, let me clarify that i just today added an entry to the fstab file to automatically mount the drive: /dev/sda2 /mnt/macosx hfsplus user,noauto 0 0 and as far as i can tell the "user" part was supposed to give me permissions but it doesn't, so i'm confused | 06:32 |
| ActionParsnip | devin: try: /dev/sda2 /mnt/macosx hfsplus user,noauto,uid=1000 0 0 should give your user access | 06:34 |
| kschwangfelder | disturbedmime/ActionParsnip: i ran lspci, and no surprises, the promise sata378 drivers are the ones it lists for my hard drive. the weird thing is that in the disk utility, it is aware of the hard disk and would allow me to partition if I wished | 06:34 |
| disturbedmime | kschwangfelder: hmm, then what issue does the installer have? | 06:34 |
| disturbedmime | hooray, found the issue with archive.ubuntu.com, stupid mtu issue with vmware | 06:35 |
| kschwangfelder | the installer does not see the hard disk. it shows no available hard disks for install | 06:35 |
| disturbedmime | kschwangfelder: but gparted does? | 06:35 |
| bock | Hey i know this is total newb stuff but where can i view installed programs like the cairo dock without being in synaptic | 06:35 |
| kschwangfelder | disturbedmime: yes | 06:35 |
| kschwangfelder | it sees the the ntfs partition for xp and the unallocated part where I want to put ubuntu | 06:36 |
| disturbedmime | kschwangfelder: hmm, haven't run into that, does 'fdisk -l' look like it can see the hard drives? | 06:36 |
| dumb_is_forever | hello | 06:37 |
| devin | ActionParsnip, thanks, i'm going to restart and see if it worked | 06:37 |
| kschwangfelder | disturbedmime: no, it lists no partitions | 06:37 |
| disturbedmime | kschwangfelder: check this out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=726546 looks like it may be that your sata disk isn't in the primary slot, sounds like a bug in the installer | 06:38 |
| dumb_is_forever | question: is there a good recommended disk encryption program for 10.04 LTS? | 06:38 |
| kschwangfelder | disturbedmime: do you mean in terms of teh two available cable connections? | 06:39 |
| dumb_is_forever | and does ubuntu support usb 3.0? | 06:39 |
| devin | ActionParsnip, bad news, my mac partition isn't even showing up at all now | 06:39 |
| DanielSada | Hi | 06:40 |
| dumb_is_forever | hello | 06:40 |
| ActionParsnip | devin: you'll need to play with the mounting options. Running stuff like amarok as root is a really bad idea | 06:40 |
| disturbedmime | kschwangfelder: yeah, basically the disk would need to be in sata0 vs sata1 (or sata1 vs sata2) | 06:40 |
| disturbedmime | kschwangfelder: long story short, try changing the cable to the other sata port on the mobo | 06:40 |
| kschwangfelder | disturbedmime: ok, I read the discussion just now. I am turning off the computer, and I will move to the other slot | 06:41 |
| devin | ActionParsnip, why didn't the automount work? | 06:41 |
| dumb_is_forever | Danielsada: do you know much about ubuntu disk encryption? | 06:41 |
| devin | ActionParsnip, and why is it when i tried to mount it through disk utility that it says it's mounted but it's not showing up anywhere? | 06:42 |
| kschwangfelder | disturbedmime: I was connected to the secondary slot. just switched, let's see what shakes out | 06:42 |
| DanielSada | dumb not much... but i dont really think its that necesary | 06:42 |
| disturbedmime | kschwangfelder: crossin' fingers | 06:42 |
| bullgard4 | [screen on a remote computer] My ssh connection showed: "Write failed: Broken pipe." I re-established the ssh connection. '~$ ps aux' shows that the processes screen and irssi still exist. How can I get Irssi back as my display image? | 06:43 |
| dumb_is_forever | daniel, pro'ly true. Just wanted a bit more secured laptop in case it's stolen or lost | 06:43 |
| bastidrazor | bullgard4: if only one screen session running type: screen -x ..if multiple: screen -list then screen -dr *which screen you see listed* | 06:44 |
| sweetpi | devin: paste the line from fstab | 06:44 |
| kschwangfelder | disturbedmime: no luck. it still sees nothing when I get to the prepare partitions screen. I had high hopes. | 06:45 |
| disturbedmime | kschwangfelder: damn | 06:46 |
| DanielSada | welll | 06:46 |
| DanielSada | that's a good poin | 06:46 |
| DanielSada | but a strong password on the bios | 06:46 |
| devin | sweetpi /dev/sda2 /mnt/macosx hfsplus user,noauto,uid=1000 0 0 but i tried commenting it out just now and mounting again thru disk utility and it mounted to /media/Macintosh HD so should I change the line to that? | 06:46 |
| DanielSada | and in the ubuntu sistem | 06:46 |
| DanielSada | will do that well | 06:46 |
| bullgard4 | bastidrazor: '~$ screen -x; There are several suitable screens on: 19890.pts-1.no (26.07.2010 05:58:16) (Attached); 16217.pts-1.no (25.07.2010 20:15:21) (Detached); Type "screen [-d] -r [pid.]tty.host" to resume one of them.' How can I kill the detached suitable screen? | 06:46 |
| kschwangfelder | disturbedmime: I think a good, hearty 'blimey!' is in order | 06:47 |
| dumb_is_forever | daniel so, is the ext4 file system is natively encrypted then? | 06:47 |
| DanielSada | dumb, not by itself | 06:47 |
| dumb_is_forever | oh | 06:47 |
| DanielSada | but if you protect the bios | 06:48 |
| DanielSada | to block CD and USB protection | 06:48 |
| DanielSada | CD and USB boot sorry | 06:48 |
| disturbedmime | kschwangfelder: how about this post, another good idea, i have actually run into this issue before, although it didn't present like this http://www.computing.net/answers/linux/installers-cant-find-hard-drive/30072.html | 06:48 |
| DanielSada | and put a strong password in your linux | 06:48 |
| dumb_is_forever | ohh ic | 06:48 |
| dumb_is_forever | thanks for the tip | 06:48 |
| bastidrazor | bullgard4: screen -wipe numbershere.pts-1.no | 06:48 |
| sweetpi | devin: well it all depends where you want it. noauto is what stopped it from mounting at boot btw | 06:48 |
| DanielSada | and not installing any remote login services | 06:48 |
| DanielSada | but thats really hard :P | 06:49 |
| DanielSada | AND put a password on the bios | 06:49 |
| dumb_is_forever | I'm not even trying that :) | 06:49 |
| lwizardl | if I was wanting to setup a cron job to automatically backup files for a folder. what would be the best guide to learn how to do it | 06:49 |
| devin | sweetpi so should i remove "noauto" or put in "auto" instead? | 06:49 |
| DanielSada | so you can edit, but only you | 06:49 |
| kschwangfelder | disturbedmime: hmm, that sounds interesting. what is ahci mode? | 06:50 |
| sweetpi | devin: just take out noauto | 06:50 |
| bastidrazor | bullgard4: if you screen -dr numbers.pts-1.no and connect to one that you want to kill ctrl+a (release) then k | 06:51 |
| disturbedmime | kschwangfelder: its the new sata protocol, there should be an 'ide' mode available which keeps compatibility with older drives | 06:51 |
| sweetpi | devin: and make sure the mount point exists | 06:51 |
| dumb_is_forever | daniel, k thanks. I will give it a shot | 06:51 |
| bastidrazor | bullgard4: that will kill that screen session | 06:51 |
| kschwangfelder | disturbedmime: at the moment, I am in IDE mode | 06:51 |
| kschwangfelder | the other option is RAID mode | 06:51 |
| DanielSada | great.. | 06:51 |
| disturbedmime | kschwangfelder: yeah RAID is no bueno, you can try it in AHCI mode just to see if it will show up, although you may need to tweak XP to get it to work in that mode | 06:52 |
| sweetpi | devin: you should unmount it first, then just "mount /mnt/macosx". no need to reboot to test permissions | 06:52 |
| devin | sweetpi it says it's mounted but it's not on the desktop or in places, where is it? | 06:52 |
| sweetpi | devin: you need to have it in /media for it to show up that way | 06:53 |
| kschwangfelder | disturbedmime: wait, I don't actually have AHCI mode. the two options I get are IDE and RAID. it could be that I need to update the bios. | 06:53 |
| devin | sweetpi thanks i'll fix that | 06:53 |
| RealEyes | Anyone suggest anything better than Gwibber? | 06:53 |
| disturbedmime | kschwangfelder: yeap, im surprised that it supports RAID and not AHCI, interesting... | 06:53 |
| DanielSada | RealEyes yeeeah! | 06:53 |
| disturbedmime | usually its the other way around | 06:53 |
| kschwangfelder | disturbedmime: it is an older mobo | 06:53 |
| DanielSada | RealEyes Use TweetDeck | 06:53 |
| kschwangfelder | circa 2003ish | 06:54 |
| Am4no | RealEyes.I recommend Turpial | 06:54 |
| DanielSada | RealEyes Is a loooooot beter than gwiber | 06:54 |
| DanielSada | RealEyes anddd pretty =D | 06:54 |
| devin | sweetpi it won't unmount | 06:55 |
| sweetpi | devin: /dev/sda2 right? | 06:55 |
| Jarhead | Hi, i need help with a simple thing! | 06:56 |
| xangua | what does tweetdeck has that gwibber doesn't DanielSada ¿¿ | 06:56 |
| DanielSada | Jarhead, what happend? | 06:56 |
| devin | sweetpi yeah i've been using disk utility to mount and unmount so what's the command line to unmount? | 06:56 |
| Jarhead | i need to do this : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-openvpn/+bug/112248/comments/26 | 06:57 |
| sweetpi | devin: umount /dev/sda2 | 06:57 |
| xangua | RealEyes: if you preffer an adobe air client you will find seesmic more useful | 06:57 |
| Jarhead | but i have no clue of what this all means | 06:57 |
| Jarhead | i'm new to linux | 06:57 |
| devin | sweetpi it says "segmentation fault" | 06:57 |
| xangua | adobe air is now in parthner repository by the way RealEyes DanielSada | 06:57 |
| DanielSada | Jarhead, what do you want to do? | 06:57 |
| sweetpi | devin: type mount | grep sda2 | 06:58 |
| DanielSada | xangua, I'm aware of that.... thanks =D i love air =D | 06:58 |

| disturbedmime | kschwangfelder: no problem, good luck | 06:58 |
| kschwangfelder | thanks! | 06:58 |
| devin | sweetpi /dev/sda2 on /mnt/macosx type hfsplus (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,user=devin) | 06:59 |
| devin | sweetpi and i don't want it to be rw just r | 06:59 |
| sweetpi | devin: close any programs accessing /mnt/macosx | 07:00 |
| sweetpi | devin: then it would be ro | 07:00 |
| devin | sweetpi nothing's accessing it, and how do i change it? | 07:00 |
| sweetpi | devin: in fstab | 07:00 |
| RealEyes | where can I get TweetDeck? | 07:01 |
| sweetpi | devin: is disk utility open? | 07:01 |
| devin | sweetpi yes i know it's in fstab, but i don't know exactly what to put in | 07:01 |
| devin | sweetpi i closed disk utility and the terminal is still telling me "segmentation fault" | 07:01 |
| nio | hello all | 07:02 |
| xangua | in tweetdeck's web RealEyes | 07:02 |
| sweetpi | devin: well lets not change fstab until we can fix that | 07:02 |
| RealEyes | its for ubuntu? | 07:02 |
| xangua | mmm i don't thin that you read what we say to you RealEyes .....well anyways....good luck | 07:03 |
| sweetpi | devin: lsof | grep /mnt/macosx | 07:03 |

| pryorda | Jul 25 18:38:00 pryorda -- MARK -- | 07:05 |
| pryorda | getting that in my messages log | 07:05 |
| pryorda | anyideas | 07:05 |
| pryorda | ? | 07:05 |
| devin | sweetpi i figured it out - i saved fstab with the new mount point before unmounting, so i changed it back and it unmounted | 07:05 |
| xangua | RealEyes: both, tweetdeck is an adobeair app | 07:05 |
| xangua | .............. | 07:05 |
| blink | hi. i was wondering, how can i disable screensaver? | 07:05 |
| RealEyes | alright, i see | 07:05 |
| sweetpi | devin: ok. as for the ro option, just add it where you had noauto | 07:05 |
| rww | pryorda: it's normal, just the rsyslog daemon indicating that it's still running | 07:05 |
| nio | i am facing a problem Kernel panic-not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel | 07:06 |
| pryorda | thats annoying | 07:06 |
| pryorda | rww: anyway to disable | 07:06 |
| alexxville | what is the best way to learn the ways of linux as a somewhat beginner and the shell commands (linuxcommand.org) but as an example? | 07:06 |
| xangua | RealEyes: you first need to the enable parther repository | 07:06 |
| devin | sweetpi so like this: /dev/sda2 /media/macosx hfsplus user,ro,uid=1000 0 0 | 07:06 |
| sweetpi | devin: yes | 07:06 |
| xangua | !partner | RealEyes | 07:06 |
| ubottu | RealEyes: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 07:06 |
| xangua | once enabled do: sudo apt-get install adobeair | 07:07 |
| RealEyes | i ran that line and there were no errors | 07:07 |
| devin | sweetpi the thing uid=1000 was supposed to give me permission to get into my music folder, but it didn't work | 07:08 |
| rww | pryorda: look for "$ModLoad immark" in /etc/rsyslog.conf and put a # in front of it | 07:08 |
| RealEyes | tweetdeck's site says that it's installing but, i dont believe its doing anything | 07:08 |
| pryorda | rww: sweet | 07:08 |
| pryorda | i will check it | 07:08 |
| pryorda | out | 07:08 |
| rww | pryorda: you'll probably have to restart rsyslogd with "sudo service rsyslog restart" afterwards | 07:09 |
| pryorda | rww: #$ModLoad immark # provides --MARK-- message capability | 07:09 |
| pryorda | it was already commented out | 07:09 |
| sweetpi | devin: echo $UID | 07:09 |
| pryorda | rww: im not the typical ubuntu user it | 07:09 |
| devin | sweetpi it's 1000 | 07:10 |
| sweetpi | devin: try umask=022 instead | 07:10 |
| pryorda | wow | 07:11 |
| pryorda | hmm | 07:11 |
| c00lryguy | Can someone help me out? [10.04] Every time I open synaptic, update manager, software center, or ubuntu tweak.. the app will pop up for a split second then close. I have tried restarting and ect | 07:11 |
| rww | pryorda: odd. Might be turned on somewhere else in there or in /etc/rsyslog.d/ or something, then. I have it commented out and don't get --MARK-- messages, so... | 07:11 |
| devin | sweetpi no change | 07:11 |

| rww | pryorda: yeah, you have some other syslog daemon running that's doing it. Which Ubuntu version are you using? | 07:17 |
| pryorda | 10.04 | 07:18 |
| rww | pryorda: did you install a different syslogd yourself? | 07:18 |
| pryorda | i dont think so | 07:18 |
| devin | sweetpi the bad directory says ls: cannot open directory blah blah Permission denied | 07:18 |
| pryorda | im wondering if something added it manually | 07:18 |
| sweetpi | devin: hmm. looks like its picking up bad uid/gid | 07:18 |
| rww | pryorda: apparently, because none of them are installed on a default Ubuntu 10.04 | 07:19 |
| shurane | I just wanted to make sure: can I install with the alternative disc offline? I didn't see a way to do this with the text/expert-text install. | 07:19 |
| nio | i had a problem which i could not understand during boot the error is Kernel panic-not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel | 07:19 |
| devin | sweetpi sorry did it wrong | 07:19 |
| nio | what does it means | 07:19 |
| sweetpi | devin: set uid and gid to 1000 in fstab | 07:19 |
| pryorda | rww: lol | 07:19 |
| devin | sweetpi it's drwx---r-x 1 501 dialout etc | 07:19 |
| pryorda | dpkg --list |grep log | 07:20 |

| RealEyes | tweetdeck is not installing lol | 07:20 |
| rww | pryorda: for syslogd, you'd want to edit /etc/default/syslogd and add "-m 0" to the SYSLOGD variable. I have no idea for the others. | 07:20 |
| nio | is this a problem related to initrd or any setting Kernel panic-not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel | 07:21 |
| rww | pryorda: personally, I'd remove the others and stick with rsyslogd, since it's the default | 07:21 |
| pryorda | rww: what version you running | 07:21 |
| bullgard4 | bastidrazor: I solved my problem using '~$ exit' followed by '~$ screen -x'. -- Thank you very much for your help. | 07:21 |

| bullgard4 | What is the main reason to release Ubuntu version 10.04.1 compared with 10.04? | 07:23 |
| blink | one more thing before i leave.. how can i auto-connect to my wireless network? | 07:23 |
| blink | everytime i have to do manually | 07:24 |
| sweetpi | devin: i doubt it, ill keep looking for a way. meanwhile maybe ask in ##linux about the permissions. whatever you do though. dont actually chmod/chown the drive in linux | 07:24 |
| devin | sweetpi do you know why it is that root has access to those folders but other users don't? | 07:24 |
| gogeta | blink: well it ask for youur keyring | 07:24 |
| sweetpi | nio: i didnt see your question | 07:24 |
| rww | bullgard4: 10.04.1 is 10.04 plus the updates that have come out since then. LTS point releases like 10.04.1 are released so that people don't have to install all of the updates that come out over the (five year) lifecycle of the LTS. | 07:24 |
| bullgard4 | blink: Install NetworkManager. (Ubuntu installs it by default.) | 07:24 |
| gogeta | blink: if you gave it no keyring it just connects | 07:24 |
| devin | sweetpi that's why i was running my music programs as root, so they could get to the music | 07:25 |
| sweetpi | devin: yes, because ownership doesnt matter to root | 07:25 |
| pryorda | rww: how do you view the auto starting services | 07:25 |
| rww | pryorda: no idea. Ubuntu switched to upstartd recently, and I haven't looked into how it works. | 07:25 |
| sweetpi | devin: i know. but its really a bad idea. ill try to find you a way. give me a few min | 07:25 |
| rww | well, switched fully recently. it's used it in varying amounts for a while. | 07:25 |
| devin | sweetpi ok i'll start asking on the linux channel | 07:25 |
| gogeta | blink: normaly ater you configure the network once it gets added to auto connect look in prefs network conenction if you did it wrong the first time or something the wrong key might be in there | 07:26 |
| gogeta | blink: deleting it from there will reset that | 07:26 |
| blink | gogeta: my wireless network has no key | 07:27 |
| gogeta | blink: then you gave it a keyring on your fist install and its askin for that | 07:27 |
| blink | gogeta: plus when the system starts, it just list the wireless network which i have to click on it in order to connect | 07:27 |
| gogeta | blink: maybe eing its open its not auto connecting | 07:28 |
| gogeta | blink: go to prefs network connection slect your network in wireless hit edit and check connect auto | 07:29 |
| gogeta | blink: auto conenct | 07:29 |
| nio | sweetpi i had a problem during boot error occurs Kernel panic-not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel | 07:29 |

| etrask | Hello everyone. I was wondering what exactly is the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Ubuntu (or any OS, really, though I'll try to keep it on topic) | 07:57 |
| Pimpnasty | I guess not lol | 07:58 |
| LinuxPhreak | etrask: 32 will work on both 32 and 64 bit cpus. 64bit only works on 64 bit cpus. 64bit will run 64bit programs | 07:58 |
| weive | 64bit got more RAM | 07:58 |
| gogeta | isaraX: did it finish the install for you | 07:58 |
| uLinux | ei | 07:59 |
| rww | etrask: 64-bit processors use 64 bit registers, which allows 64-bit operating systems to access more memory, whereas 32-bit ones are limited to 4GB of system memory (unless they use hacks like PAE) | 07:59 |
| LinuxPhreak | anyone one know how to setup filezilla to access my vsftp server I setup? | 07:59 |

| reverebeer | fine. be oblivious to what apt-get does and NOT have working open office. | 08:00 |

| Pimpnasty | -_- | 08:00 |
| Pimpnasty | Love all the help | 08:00 |
| ThisDB | I was told to always compile from source | 08:01 |
| ThisDB | If I could | 08:01 |
| rww | etrask: wikipedia does a good job: "a small amount of storage available on the CPU whose contents can be accessed more quickly than storage available elsewhere". Notably, they're used to store memory locations. | 08:01 |
| rww | ThisDB: this is not particularly good advice on distributions with package management. | 08:01 |
| ThisDB | Rww I see. | 08:01 |
| reverebeer | no make install then | 08:01 |
| etrask | RWW am I correct in understanding 64-bit allows 16 general purpose registers where 32-bit has 8? | 08:02 |

| rww | etrask: I'm not sure of the numbers, but yeah, 64-bit is the way to go. I've used it for a while on one of my computers, haven't had any problems | 08:03 |
| reverebeer | sounds like that works for you rww | 08:03 |

| psypher246 | hi all, please could someone assist, latest kernel update deleted windows from my grub menu and update-grub does not find Windows at all anymore and does not replace it back | 08:13 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu456: if you run: sudo -i ; passwd foo ,replace foo with your username, can you set the shorter pass? | 08:14 |
| ActionParsnip | psypher246: you should log a bug for that too | 08:15 |
| DanielSada | Pimp | 08:15 |
| DanielSada | you have to go to live CD | 08:15 |
| psypher246 | ActionParsnip: so it's a bug? | 08:15 |
| DanielSada | ubuntu live CD | 08:15 |
| DanielSada | and edit G parted | 08:15 |
| ActionParsnip | psypher246: assuming the config had the windows entry before, it sounds like one. | 08:15 |
| reverebeer | psypher246 http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/gnu/grub/html_chapter/grub_4.html | 08:16 |
| psypher246 | that what i figured, not updating my laptop :) already took ages to fix the windows one | 08:16 |
| ActionParsnip | psypher246: i'd check the grub2 documentation online for help as well as see if others can advise. I'm no good with grub as I single boot all my systems. I have no need for windows | 08:16 |
| psypher246 | reverebeer: yeah i fixed it manualy, but not working automatically | 08:16 |
| panashe | hi | 08:16 |
| psypher246 | which is bug | 08:16 |
| panashe | need help on how to use linux ubuntu 10.4 please pple | 08:17 |
| ActionParsnip | psypher246: your grub2 conf should have a windows entry so that it gets added to grub.cfg when update-grub gets executed | 08:17 |
| DanielSada | panashe, what do you need? | 08:18 |
| ActionParsnip | panashe: you'll need to be a lot more specific | 08:18 |
| panashe | anyone | 08:18 |
| DanielSada | panashe, what's the problem? | 08:18 |
| ActionParsnip | !details | panashe | 08:18 |
| ubottu | panashe: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 08:18 |
| psypher246 | ActionParsnip: the update-grub command is supposed to find the OS using the os prober script and add that | 08:19 |
| psypher246 | ActionParsnip: it's not finding windows at all | 08:19 |
| ActionParsnip | psypher246: try rerunning the os prober then | 08:19 |
| psypher246 | multiple times | 08:19 |
| ActionParsnip | !grub2 | psypher246 | 08:19 |
| ubottu | psypher246: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 08:19 |
| psypher246 | reinstalled grub, reinstalled windows boot loader | 08:19 |
| reverebeer | so psypher246, you just need to now make an entry that boots it. from the grub command line, you can get to grub.conf (i wanna say /etc/grub). make a backup just incase | 08:19 |
| psypher246 | reverebeer: yes i did that | 08:20 |
| ActionParsnip | reverebeer: you don't edit grub.cfg as it is generated | 08:20 |
| psypher246 | I can get into windows now are quite a bit of hacking, but the problem is that update-grub os proper script does not find windows and add it in | 08:20 |
| psypher246 | ActionParsnip: yeah you not SUPPOSED to | 08:21 |
| psypher246 | but i HAD to | 08:21 |
| psypher246 | reverebeer: and it's /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 08:21 |
| jukebox-zero_ | psypher246, yeah but then you just lose the changes on the next update | 08:21 |
| ActionParsnip | psypher246: then re-edit the grub config files as per the factoid link and run sudo update-grub | 08:21 |
| panashe | how to install or compile tar.files and other programs | 08:21 |
| psypher246 | jukebox-zero_: yup, so will log bug | 08:21 |
| reverebeer | panashe. what's the suffix after the ".tar" | 08:22 |
| psypher246 | ActionParsnip: not quite following how I re-edit it? | 08:22 |
| ActionParsnip | panashe: what file do you have? | 08:22 |
| jukebox-zero_ | psypher246 What helped me once with a similar but different issue on 9.10 was to grab the grub 2 from the debian repos, seemed less buggy for some reason. | 08:23 |
| ActionParsnip | psypher246: its in the grub link I made ubottu give earlier | 08:23 |
| psypher246 | ActionParsnip: now i get that | 08:23 |
| psypher246 | ActionParsnip: just not seeing what i need to edit, since i shouldn't be editing it in the 1st place | 08:23 |
| Aleksander | Hello. I'm new to Ubuntu 10.4 and I have a problem - I tried to remove indicator applet package (don't need one) and the system crashed down. Since then, it doesn't want to start automatically (I have to startx from console), even though I re-installed the package. Why is that? | 08:23 |
| panashe | tra.gz | 08:24 |
| psypher246 | ActionParsnip: yes i had to do it to fix my issue but update-grub should probe and add | 08:24 |
| ActionParsnip | panashe: its rare to use tar files in ubuntu as the repos and ppas have lots of compiled software | 08:24 |
| panashe | tar.gz | 08:24 |
| ActionParsnip | panashe: no, what's the file name? | 08:24 |
| === zan_ is now known as Gornjak | ||

| SunTzu | gour give him what works for him; test several dists. show him much. | 09:06 |
| SunTzu | gour make up several live-dvd's | 09:07 |

| SunTzu | gour so that he can spend a few hours with each without changing hd | 09:07 |
| panashe | :) | 09:07 |
| gour | SunTzu: i believe archlinux is too complicated for him...ubuntu looks like great option... the choice is between netbook & desktop edition? | 09:07 |
| gour | SunTzu: i'm into dl-ing bunch of livedvds... | 09:08 |
| rww | gour: have him try both. The only significant difference is the interface, so see which he prefers with the LiveUSBs | 09:08 |
| SunTzu | gour i'm a Slacker, i duno from dist-jumping myself :) give him choices and let him play | 09:08 |
| SunTzu | gour k | 09:08 |
| gour | SunTzu: ok | 09:09 |
| SunTzu | gour that is the essence of LinuxTao :) | 09:09 |
| Jordan_U | gour: I haven't messed with the netbook edition much but I'd say go with the desktop edition, IIRC the netbook interface is optimized to allow you to do a few things very easily on a small screen (and not much else). Not that there is anything you *can't* do with UNR, but I think it would be awkward. | 09:09 |
| gour | SunTzu: it's...but for total beginner, i consider ubuntu is good choice | 09:09 |

| SunTzu | gour there's a (in)famous maxim i once read from a blogger years ago; ``when you learn Debian, Ubuntu, Knoppix, etal, etc, you learn the one you installed; when you Learn Slackware, you learn Linux.'' | 09:11 |
| helkaluin | Hi all. In BSD-style init, selected daemons can be initiated in background. Is there a similar implementation in ubuntu's SysV style init? (Or Upstart?) | 09:11 |
| elia | with what program can do sites without knowing HTML? | 09:11 |
| rww | ubottu: html | elia | 09:11 |

| SunTzu | ogunay google `ubuntu+pim' | 09:17 |
| rww | ubottu: google | SunTzu | 09:17 |
| ubottu | SunTzu: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 09:17 |
| SunTzu | rww if they dont use it first then they wont learn it. so, your suggestion is potliely rejected. | 09:18 |
| rww | SunTzu: Considering that your viewpoint has been brought up about ten thousand times and rejected by the channel's operators, I'd suggest you modify that. | 09:18 |
| SunTzu | rww what and where did that come from? i've not been here to garner 10,000 rejections from anyone | 09:19 |
| SunTzu | rww consensus doesnt make it right. | 09:19 |
| rww | SunTzu: If you want to provide and answer and say "I got this by googling X", then fine, but statements like the above are against this channel's guidelines, which you agreed to by joining and using the channel. | 09:20 |
| rww | s/and/an/ | 09:20 |
| SunTzu | rww i always object to implied agreements. they are contracts of adhesion which courts abhor. | 09:20 |

| uLinux | !splash | 09:22 |
| ubottu | To change the Gnome splash screen, use gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. | 09:22 |
| SunTzu | Gnea no, contracts/agreements without the time and availablity of negotiation are no choice | 09:22 |
| uLinux | i want to fix it bot :( | 09:22 |
| rww | SunTzu: I'm not sure what you mean by "fiefdom", but this channel is owned by freenode, with delegated control to Ubuntu's IRC Council, which established rules, including the one I mentioned. If you're not willing to abide by them, /part. | 09:22 |
| rww | !guidelines | SunTzu, for reference | 09:22 |
| ubottu | SunTzu, for reference: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 09:22 |
| Gnea | SunTzu: what contracts/agreement are you referring to? | 09:22 |
| Gnea | SunTzu: of this channel? see the guidelines. take the time to read them. if you don't like them, I'm sure your client is familiar with the /part command. | 09:23 |
| SunTzu | rww i mean that people need help, hence i am here. disagreement is no reason to tell me or force me to part. | 09:23 |
| SunTzu | Gnea the one that rww mentioned and in general in real life. | 09:23 |
| Gnea | SunTzu: quite crying, read the rules, don't repeat your mistakes, things will be fine. | 09:23 |
| Gnea | *quit | 09:23 |
| SunTzu | Gnea i'm defending, not crying; cease the ad hom usage. | 09:24 |

| delby | hello, i am new to ubuntu. what is the best way to install flash player for firefox on ubuntu 10.4, and will it be updated with the rest of the system with safe-upgrade? thanx | 09:26 |
| rww | delby: install the "flashplugin-installer" package, and yes. | 09:27 |
| Jon80 | Hi Everyone! | 09:28 |
| delby | rww: do i need to add lines in sources.list, or can i simply run 'aptitude flashplugin-installer' right after installation of ubuntu? | 09:28 |
| Jon80 | I'm new to Ubuntu (and Linux in general), and came across a problem today. I run the latest Netbook release | 09:28 |
| Jon80 | When in Netbook Gnome, Screensaver is disabled when watching videos, but not when I choose "Gnome" as desktop enviroment | 09:29 |
| delby | rww: i meant aptitude install flushplugin-installer. | 09:29 |
| poko | pff f | 09:30 |
| Jon80 | I use "Totem" as videoplayer in both Gnome Netbook and Gnome | 09:30 |
| sinistrad | delby, try it first without any edits | 09:30 |
| rww | delby: you'd need to do "sudo aptitude update" first. If multiverse isn't enabled by default (I forget whether it is or not), you'd need to uncomment the relevant lines in sources.list before that | 09:31 |
| delby | thanks. will do. | 09:31 |
| kasun | is there any problem if I just delete those package files? | 09:31 |
| kasun | Hello, I'm running out of space on my root /. I need to cleanup the disk to get some space. Clearing apt cache would gain a lot of space, right? how can i do it safely? | 09:32 |

| demoneye | hi. I am running my home server on ubuntu 10.04. I would like to host several irc bots on it (for a good purpose). I on on a hostmasked irc server and I have 1 ip (which is from my ISP). As i am new to linux, how do I setup the bots using 1 IP address? Do I need third-party dns service? (freedns.afraid.org perhaps)? I have apache setup | 09:34 |
| mtjzr3 | #join ubuntu-my | 09:35 |
| soreau | demoneye: You should be able to run irc bots from your local server without much (if any) magic | 09:36 |
| soreau | mtjzr3: /j #ubuntu-my | 09:36 |
| uLinux | will this sudo update-initramfs -u fix the splash ? | 09:36 |
| demoneye | umm, the irc server has session limits 2 conns only. | 09:37 |
| rww | demoneye: then talk to the irc server admins | 09:37 |
| demoneye | if I changed my dns, will that do the trick? | 09:37 |
| dustin | i need a screen captureing program,for ubuntu 10.04 | 09:38 |
| BlackDalek | Does anyone know of any program for Ubuntu that will crop a the pages in a multi-page PDF file? | 09:38 |
| oaf | hi, do you know what is that TCP : 162.56.215.222.broad.nj.sc.dynar | 09:38 |
| rww | dustin: screenshots or video? | 09:38 |
| SunTzu | oaf google it | 09:38 |
| soreau | demoneye: What is telling you there is max two connections? | 09:38 |
| demoneye | yes | 09:38 |
| dustin | like to record,fior how to do videos | 09:38 |
| rww | ubottu: screencast | dustin | 09:39 |
| ubottu | dustin: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Xvidcap, pyvnc2swf. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. | 09:39 |
| soreau | demoneye: it wasn't a yes-or-no question ;) | 09:39 |
| blink | is there any good regex application for ubuntu? i just downloaded Kiki which is crap | 09:39 |
| mats990 | Hi! When i click right click on panel i have only "help" and "about panels". Does anybody know how to add new panel? | 09:39 |
| froschi | soreau: who's on first :) | 09:39 |
| soreau | froschi: heh | 09:40 |
| demoneye | something like.. <bot1> hostmask: *@8BD2ED83.3D4C1575.339A3B20.IP | 09:40 |
| demoneye | <bot2> hostmask: *@77BG3BX7.3D4C1575.339A3B20.IP | 09:40 |
| ogunay | aptitude search gives for output some packages starts with "v" what that "v" means? (these packages has no explanations also) | 09:40 |
| dustin | Istanbul, i have this but it crashes or hangs to much | 09:40 |
| soreau | demoneye: perhaps you could get better help in #frenode? | 09:40 |
| soreau | #freenode* | 09:40 |
| oCean_ | mats990: really? never seen that before. Any idea what happened? | 09:40 |
| rww | ogunay: virtual package, see http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-binary.html#s-virtual_pkg | 09:41 |
| ogunay | rww: thank you so much | 09:41 |
| ShapeShifter499 | hi | 09:41 |
| soreau | ogunay: Try grepping the output of dpkg -l? | 09:41 |
| mats990 | oCean_ i could make screenshot if you want.. i tried google it but found nothing useful | 09:41 |
| oCean_ | mats990: tried to reset the panels completely? gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel | 09:42 |
| ogunay | soreau: No packages found matching | 09:42 |
| BlackDalek | Does anyone know how to use Pdfcrop? I can't get it to work. I put in "pdfcrop --papersize a4 sourcefile.pdf croppedfile.pdf" but the resultant file always ends up exactly the same page size but the file size increases. I don't know why. | 09:42 |
| ShapeShifter499 | what do I do, my ubuntu system cannot detect when my headset in plunged in or not, I have to manually activate it in "sound preferences", how do I fix this so its automatic? | 09:42 |
| demoneye | isn't this got something to do with linux? as in, I need to change my dns or make some vhost? | 09:43 |
| soreau | ogunay: You have to grep it, like 'dpkg -l|grep <pkgname'> | 09:43 |
| ogunay | soreau: there isn't any output | 09:43 |
| rww | demoneye: no, you can't change your DNS to get around connection limits. Go talk to the ircops of the server you're using. | 09:43 |
| mats990 | oCean_ i didnt know about this, but i did it right now and nothing changed :( | 09:43 |
| BlackDalek | Is there any other way to crop the page size of a PDF file other than pdfcrop? | 09:43 |
| ogunay | soreau: i try it for a virtual package | 09:43 |
| Sjors | ShapeShifter499: you could try telling pulseaudio to send the audio to both your normal output and your headphones | 09:44 |
| soreau | ogunay: You're probably better off with the suggestion/link rww made | 09:44 |
| Sjors | ShapeShifter499: then when the headphone is plugged in it will have sound too (but so will the normal speakers) | 09:44 |
| demoneye | rww, I tried that, they are all acting gayish | 09:44 |
| Sjors | ShapeShifter499: normally this all is done in hardware instead of software afaik... I think you can report it as a bug here or there | 09:44 |
| ShapeShifter499 | Sjors: than whats the point of headphones | 09:44 |
| rww | demoneye: 1) "Gay" is not a pejorative, please don't use it as one. 2) You're out of luck. | 09:44 |
| Sjors | ShapeShifter499: good one | 09:44 |
| oCean_ | mats990: too bad. Since that's the way to reset "to factory defaults".. Actually i have no clue what could cause this. Any recent changes? | 09:45 |
| soreau | demoneye: Also, | 09:45 |
| soreau | ! work | demoneye | 09:45 |
| ubottu | demoneye: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 09:45 |
| AdvoWork | how come when doing df -h it shows a certain % free space, yet i delete something, and its not instant before it changes the % | 09:46 |
| soreau | demoneye: even 'doesnt work' (in all it's vagueness) is better than 'gayish' which is highly undescriptive | 09:46 |
| mats990 | oCean_ the problem is i dont know WHEN this happend... i didnt used it lately.. last things i installed is conky and i removed some old kernels, but this shuldnt have something with kernel... | 09:46 |
| rww | soreau: considering that the word was applied to people, I assume that either they didn't do what he wanted, or propositioned him. Either way, we can't really help. | 09:46 |
| demoneye | so my only option is to buy IPs? | 09:47 |
| soreau | rww: I immediately noticed it was the opposite of helpful, regardless of the context or content | 09:47 |
| rww | demoneye: If the administrators of the server you're on don't want you connecting with more than two clients, then don't connect with more than two clients. | 09:48 |
| robertzaccour | is Dazzle compatible with Linux? | 09:48 |
| Phxdrought | of these two password examples which one can be hacked as a dictionary word. (1) marry had a little lamb (2) marryhadalittlelamb | 09:49 |
| oCean_ | mats990: agreed. It must be something in the gnome (-panel) config. But with previous command you reset it w/out result. (btw Those settings are saved in your homedir in ~/.gconf/apps/panel) | 09:49 |
| rww | ubottu: ot | Phxdrought | 09:49 |

| === MSG_SALT is now known as MSG | ||
| oCean_ | mats990: Sure. Gnome has config options (somewhat similar to registry) You can see that yourself by starting "gconf-editor" (and in this case browse to apps > panel) | 09:52 |
| mats990 | oCean_ hey i fixed it :D | 09:52 |
| oCean_ | mats990: wow | 09:52 |
| demoneye | another thing. Is it possible I make a vhost on my IP (ISP IP address)? | 09:52 |
| demoneye | via apache? | 09:52 |

| robertzaccour | is Dazzle video capture device compatible with Linux? | 09:52 |
| mats990 | oCean_ there is one line different and it deletes settings folder, as i can see | 09:53 |
| oCean_ | mats990: indeed | 09:53 |
| oCean_ | mats990: that's what did the trick probably | 09:53 |
| demoneye | I did one via afraid.org, it points to my IP/apache website | 09:53 |
| mats990 | oCean_ to tell you the truth im not happy that i have fixed it couse i dont know what couse probelm, i wish i had backuped that folder first :S | 09:54 |

| dustin | hey anyone know of a good screnrecording program for ubuntu 10.04 | 09:54 |
| bourke | dustin: gtk-recordmydesktop | 09:55 |
| oCean_ | mats990: I see. Maybe next time :s | 09:55 |
| rww | demoneye: Do you have access to the rDNS PTR record for your IP address? If not (and if you're using a consumer ISP, you probably don't), you can't. | 09:55 |
| dustin | that doesnt crash or hang,something professional | 09:55 |
| mats990 | oCean_ well i have to go, thanks once again for tring to help me. have a nice day, good bye | 09:55 |
| bourke | dustin: gtk-recordmydesktop has always worked fine for me | 09:56 |
| rww | bourke: there's a file in /var/run called "restart-required" or something similar. delete it | 09:56 |
| demoneye | rww: I don't think so I have access to that :( | 09:57 |
| demoneye | I have no* | 09:57 |
| thune3 | AdvoWork: what is the scenario. maybe: if you delete a file and some other program has a file open, the file will not show up anymore (ls), but it wont actually get deleted until the program closes it. | 09:57 |
| bourke | rww: got rid of it, but icon still there (tried restarting gnome-panel) | 09:57 |

| c00lryguy | sinistrad, doesnt that have a bunch of unnecessary packages installed for a desktop install? | 10:18 |
| rww | sinistrad, c00lryguy: Ubuntu Server is for servers. Generally one would use the alternate CD for minimal installs. | 10:18 |
| sinistrad | c00lryguy, you'll need to install a desktop package afterwards if you want a GUI | 10:18 |

| c00lryguy | !ubot | 10:19 |
| rww | Gm4n: you need to install the bcmwl-kernel-source package. If you have internet access through ethernet, just use your favorite package manager. If not, let me know and I'll get you offline instructions. | 10:20 |
| c00lryguy | !minimalcd | 10:20 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 10:20 |

| rww | !alternate | 10:20 |
| ubottu | The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 10:20 |
| Gm4n | rww: is apt-get a reasonable favorite? (I'm a debian user) | 10:20 |
| c00lryguy | I should prolly go with the minimal one.. sounds likst just what I need | 10:20 |
| rww | Gm4n: Yup. sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source would work fine | 10:20 |
| Turbolinux | What is the name of the package of ''Hardware Information'' software. | 10:21 |
| Turbolinux | ? | 10:21 |
| rww | c00lryguy: The minimal CD is just the alternate one with no packages on it (you need to download from the internet during installation, which can be a pain if you have odd hardware) | 10:21 |
| rww | they have the same installation options | 10:21 |

| Megaviv | Hello, I'm trying to fix a flash-player missing sound problem of a friend of mine | 10:30 |
| jukebox-zero_ | yerushalmi basically it's an unecessary long name for your harddisk. When grub goes to start your system, it looks for your hard drive using that, but for some reason isn't recognizing it. | 10:30 |
| Megaviv | Do you know anything on how to run the command: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libesd.so.0 /usr/lib/libesd.so.1 # Flash expects /tmp/.esd/socket to exist. sudo mkdir -p /tmp/.esd/ sudo touch /tmp/.esd/socket | 10:30 |

| jukebox-zero_ | what's the pastebin addy? | 10:31 |

| Yerushalmi | jukebox-zero_: The hard drive upon which Ubuntu is installed is actually an SDHC card; I use my internal hard drive as a swap partition. | 10:31 |
| Megaviv | as a solution to the problem: "# Flash also looks for /usr/lib/libesd.so.1" | 10:31 |
| jukebox-zero_ | yershalmi hmm. i see. | 10:32 |
| Yerushalmi | jukebox-zero_: Could there be a hardware problem with the card? That's my biggest fear. | 10:32 |
| Megaviv | äé | 10:32 |
| Megaviv | "éøåùìîé?" | 10:32 |
| Yerushalmi | Software problem would be less... problematic... because then I could just put the card in another computer copy everything I needed and reinstall ubuntu. I don't have anything irreplaceable. | 10:32 |
| Turbolinux | Ikonia: Isn't there any graphical hardware information viewer? I remember there was one software. | 10:33 |

| oCean_ | Megaviv: english only in this channel | 10:33 |
| Megaviv | I know | 10:33 |
| Megaviv | I just tried to test whether Yerushlami also lives in Israel | 10:33 |
| oCean_ | onilmaurya: that error means the mysql server is not running. The startup must have failed | 10:33 |
| ikonia | Turbolinux: there could be, I'm not aware of one of the top of my head | 10:33 |
| Yerushalmi | Megaviv: Aha! I do, yes, but your text only came out as random vowels with chupchikim on top. | 10:34 |
| Yerushalmi | I guess this computer doesn't support it in the chat. Which is very strange, I must say. | 10:34 |
| guest_ | hi. i renamed a user and his encrypted home directory, but he can't decrypt it anymore. any idea on the reason? where are the keys for the encrypted home directories stored? | 10:34 |
| rww | Yerushalmi: Megaviv didn't encode it properly, so most people probably didn't see it | 10:34 |
| Megaviv | OK, that makes sense. So, I'll repeat the issue know, in hope you have a fitting solution. | 10:34 |
| envyG | I'm trying to remember the name of Gnome Media Player -- Totem isn't what I'm looking for. Something minimal. I used it once. (I know there is VLC too). ;o | 10:35 |
| Yerushalmi | envyG: mplayer? | 10:35 |
| jukebox-zero_ | yerushalmi is this a pc or a notebook or a netbook or what? | 10:36 |
| rww | envyG: https://launchpad.net/gnome-media-player -> this one? | 10:36 |
| Yerushalmi | jukebox-zero_: Netbook. | 10:36 |
| Megaviv | That's what Flash claims: # Flash also looks for /usr/lib/libesd.so.1 and as I understood the solution is to run the command: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libesd.so.0 /usr/lib/libesd.so.1 How do I do that, then? | 10:36 |

| azorius | thanks | 10:38 |
| ikonia | aibo: then how do you know it's working ? | 10:38 |
| ikonia | aibo: if you can't connec tto it...... | 10:38 |
| aibo | locally | 10:38 |
| Yerushalmi | jukebox-zero_: sda is likely my internal hd, I assigned the entire thing as swap, and sdb therefore is my external disk, which I assigned as an ext# of some kind. | 10:38 |
| ikonia | aibo: ok, so look at the logs, to see if your connections are actually hitting the ssh damon | 10:38 |
| jukebox-zero_ | okay, the instructions i'm gonna post are what I remember for harddisks but if your notebook supports booting from SDHC don't see why it wouldn't work. | 10:38 |
| Yerushalmi | I'm fairly certain. If it did it sensibly and didn't skip a letter for no reason :p | 10:39 |
| Yerushalmi | jukebox-zero_: Awesome, thanks | 10:39 |
| jukebox-zero_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/469248/ in your case replace hdX,Y with what you remember. | 10:39 |

| Yerushalmi | My external hard disk? | 10:40 |
| Yerushalmi | i.e. my boot drive? | 10:40 |
| linux_ | hello | 10:41 |
| jukebox-zero_ | yerushalmi ls should pop up some choices for you. pick the one that looks familar | 10:41 |
| Yerushalmi | The choices were (hd0), (hd0,1), (hd1), and (hd1,1). No sd(a/b/c) | 10:42 |
| linux_ | just for you | 10:42 |
| jukebox-zero_ | hmm hd0,1 is probably your hard disk. so with it being an sdhc card I'm not sure. Do you have more than one partition on your harddisk? | 10:42 |
| Yerushalmi | jukebox-zero_: Nope. | 10:43 |
| jukebox-zero_ | yerushalmi than I would try hd1,1 | 10:43 |
| Yerushalmi | Interestingly, when typing "set" it gives me "prefix=(hd0,1)/boot/grub" and "root=hd0,1" regardless of what I had typed | 10:43 |
| demonzenemy | bro.. i have vivotek ip camera ip7330 but i can not recording. How can i do that? | 10:44 |
| Yerushalmi | In any case, I've tried both (hd0,1) and (hd1,1) for both, and then the next step - ls /boot - gives me the error "unknown filesystem" | 10:44 |
| azorius | how do I decrease the run lvl in ubuntu? | 10:45 |
| blitzo | i have a question about the appearance preferences in gnome: i am using an image from my camera. it removes crops about 15% of the image around the outside. no matter how small i make the image, it still crops, and then expands it to fill my screen. anybody ever heard of this? | 10:45 |
| robybat | ciao | 10:46 |
| blitzo | azorius, ubuntu doesn't use run levels | 10:46 |
| jukebox-zero_ | Yerushalmi, honestly I'm a little boggled. Never did like the grub recovery, and I've never attempted to boot from anything other than my primary HD. What I would suggest from here if it were me is to download and burn the super grub boot disk and pick the option that says find any grub.conf file even if mbr is overwritten. it won't fix the problem, but it will let you get to your data. | 10:46 |

| aibo | ikonia, nothing in syslog/auth.log | 10:48 |
| azorius | blitzo I am a noob so I have no clue how to fix your image issue | 10:48 |
| ikonia | aibo: that suggests something is blocking it, either firewall on box or something at a network level | 10:48 |
| blitzo | azorius, that said, i don't really understand what they replaced it with. it's called upstart. there's a man page and a website at http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 10:48 |

| blitzo | azorius, that is the question you need to ask and I'm afraid someone else will have to answer it | 10:51 |
| mallchin | hi guys, what package to install the cvs client only please? :) | 10:51 |
| === lit3l is now known as litel | ||
| Yerushalmi | jukebox-zero_: When opening up BIOS to tell it to boot from that drive, I found out that for some reason it was set to boot from the internal hard disk | 10:51 |
| === gf is now known as gn | ||
| aibo | ikonia, apparmor deinstalled, iptables has no rules | 10:51 |
| Yerushalmi | jukebox-zero_: Which is bizarre because it wasn't set that way THIS MORNING | 10:51 |
| === gn is now known as simey00irc | ||
| Yerushalmi | jukebox-zero_: I changed the setting to tell it to boot from the flash drive and voila, it works. | 10:51 |
| ikonia | aibo: must be network level then | 10:52 |
| Yerushalmi | ... I'm quite honestly flabbergasted at this point but, hey, if it works... | 10:52 |
| blitzo | azorius, ask "how to do i boot to text mode so X doesn't start" | 10:52 |
| ikonia | aibo: not using tcpwrappers are you | 10:52 |
| azorius | how to do i boot to text mode so X doesn't start? | 10:52 |
| Yerushalmi | jukebox-zero_: Thanks for all the help, though :) Now we both know how to solve this problem if it comes up again. | 10:52 |
| Megaviv | back to rww: in response to your suggestions, I should state two facts: the first is that the problem I'm trying to solve is my friend's who has Win 7 and not any UNIX based OS. Secondly, I tried running this command myself in the cmd of my Win 7, but it didn't even recognize it... I'll retry it, this time differently, according to a new idea popping into my mind, but it doesn't sound promising. | 10:52 |
| ProstheticS | Hey guys, this probably isnt the place for it, but i figure someone here would have experience, i've just fresh installed 10.04, its working great, im currently playing around with wine and some steam games. I got alien swarm working first shot, fantastic, im wrapped, however l4d2 , another source game, crashes as soon as i finish loading, so as im entering games, any quick tips anyone can think of that might help | 10:52 |
| blitzo | azorius, you may have to ask several times | 10:52 |
| jukebox-zero_ | yerushalmi, heh glad it's fixed. | 10:53 |

| yessir_turan | Is there a Fedora'esque version of ubuntu, that will install everything automatically.. eg. svn and git etc.. | 10:54 |
| Yerushalmi | jukebox-zero_: That was really weird, I must say. I can't imagine what would cause that. Maybe I somehow accidentally pressed against the flash drive and ejected it just before I booted it up? And for some reason BIOS took that permanently? I'm really confused but just glad it's working. Thanks :) | 10:54 |
| ikonia | aibo: do "sudo find / -name ssh -print | 10:54 |
| yessir_turan | Or some package that contains all as dummy dependencies.. | 10:54 |
| ProstheticS | also, if , when ubuntu loads, i log in instantly (as in , dont wait long at the login prompt) i get some error about waiting for power management it asks me to lock screen/cancel/log out, no matter which i choose, it basically locks up, i need to reboot at this point | 10:54 |
| blitzo | yessir_turan, what are svn and git | 10:54 |
| mallchin | blitzo: version control systems | 10:55 |
| the_student | What should I write to for mini.iso Network Console with Norwegian language | 10:55 |
| yessir_turan | blitzo: Not just them, but everything.. like thunderbird, and all other stuff. | 10:55 |
| yessir_turan | it seems that fedora has it ALL. | 10:55 |
| yessir_turan | already. | 10:55 |

| the_student | Can anyone help me patch isolinux.cfg for Network Console | 10:56 |
| aibo | ikonia, no ssh binaries found, how can it be? | 10:56 |
| ikonia | aibo: uninstall the package, and re-install it | 10:57 |
| ikonia | aibo: sounds like you've messed up your box | 10:57 |
| coventry | I have a Lenovo T61 running Ubuntu 10.04. The cursor is no longer responding to activity on the touchpad. However, touchpad activity results in output from /dev/psaux. gpointing-device-settings shows that the touchpad is on, and using that application to turn it off and then back on does not fix the problem. Rebooting has not fixed the problem. Is there anything else I should try? | 10:57 |
| aibo | ikonia, possibly apparmor did it | 10:57 |
| blitzo | yessir_turan, most of that stuff automatically loads. fedora lets you select which groups of packages you might want, ubuntu just gives yoyu a bunch of stuff and then you have to d/l what extra you want later | 10:57 |
| ikonia | aibo: appamor doesn't delete binaries | 10:57 |
| aibo | ikonia, me too | 10:57 |
| envyG | Okay -- A simple question. How can I get nm-applet notification? Clean non-Desktop installation and I'm stumbled at this moment. I could sworn it worked fine on other machines. | 10:58 |

| oCean_ | yessir_turan: there are some metapackages in ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MetaPackages, I don't know if there is any containing the packages you require | 10:59 |
| coventry | Oh, also, regarding the touchpad issue, the buttons associated with the touchpad don't work now, either. | 10:59 |
| well_laid_lawn | Kartagis: with a bit of fine tuning it will be fine I'm sure | 11:00 |
| Guest62086 | froschi, THANKS! :) | 11:00 |
| Kartagis | well_laid_lawn fine tuning how? | 11:00 |
| rye | Kartagis, if that has different video board then it will may require some minor reconfiguration, i did AMD/Ati to Intel/nVidia transition by swapping the drives and had no issues, since all drivers are already installed | 11:01 |
| Kartagis | rye what about the ethernet card? | 11:01 |

| rye | Kartagis, in ubuntu all drivers are already installed (that's why some complains why they get intel drivers updated when they have ati-based video cards) and so all devices will be autodetected provided they are supported.

| froschi | putrefacto: no, it's your cousin's fault. he seems to have uploaded it for backup purposes to google space or what's its name. now obviously you even need *2* blue rays | 11:33 |
| gazzzmoly | also i have no sound | 11:34 |
| oCean_ | putrefacto: please stop | 11:34 |
| putrefacto | forkup: Oh, I'll try | 11:34 |
| dreamx | Ok, I wasn't very specific... I can't log in to gnome with my usual username/password, but I CAN log in through ssh with the same username/password combination... I've already tried some of the solutions found on the forum, but those doesn't seem to help | 11:34 |
| aguitel | gazzzmoly, this is the "ubuntu way" ,another way is to find in nvidia.com | 11:34 |
| gazzzmoly | i want these nvidia vdpau team ppa | 11:35 |
| gazzzmoly | https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa | 11:35 |
| gazzzmoly | dont know how to install tham | 11:35 |
| rye | dreamx, are you being logged out after you try to log in via gdm? | 11:36 |
| ProstheticS | Guys i have an issue, when ubuntu loads, if i log in instantly (as in , dont wait long at the login prompt) i get some error about waiting for power management it asks me to lock screen/cancel/log out, no matter which i choose, it basically locks up, i need to reboot at this point | 11:36 |
| aguitel | gazzzmoly, add to your sorces.list ,update and install in the system ,but first make backup of xorg.conf | 11:36 |
| ProstheticS | has anyone had this issue (Sorry for multi line) | 11:36 |
| dreamx | rye, yes, after I enter my password, the screen goes blank and than I'm back to gdm | 11:36 |
| gazzzmoly | how | 11:36 |
| rww | ProstheticS: the actual error message would help, if you can get it | 11:36 |
| airtonix | gazzzmoly, you really need to read the page. | 11:37 |
| gazzzmoly | it assumes you know linux which i dont | 11:37 |
| airtonix | ... | 11:37 |
| rye | dreamx, are you able to log in to ssh and pastebin your ~/.xsession-errors log file - something appears to crash the session | 11:37 |
| airtonix | gazzzmoly, it assumes you can read english. | 11:37 |
| aguitel | gazzzmoly, cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup | 11:38 |
| airtonix | aguitel, stop giving bad advice please | 11:38 |
| gryllida | ? | 11:39 |
| dreamx | rye, I'm rebooting the machine, I'll paste .xsession-errors asap | 11:39 |
| airtonix | gazzzmoly, read the section on that page you linked very carefully ... read the section titled "Adding this PPA to your system" | 11:39 |
| rye | dreamx, basically you will need last 10-20 lines | 11:39 |
| blink | is it possible to disable spell check for specific languages? | 11:39 |
| mick_ | Folks, I'm looking for a hand with a VirtualBox problem. Am I in the right place or can anyone point me to the right channel | 11:39 |
| gryllida | mick_, not before seeing the aactul question | 11:40 |
| gryllida | actual* | 11:40 |
| airtonix | gazzzmoly, are you using a netbook (a hp mini 311 by chance ) ? | 11:40 |
| dreamx | rye, I can't believe it... somehow .profile was corrupted and made everything go nuts | 11:40 |
| gazzzmoly | no a revo | 11:40 |
| gazzzmoly | a nettop | 11:40 |
| dreamx | rye, thanks for your help anyway :) | 11:40 |
| rye | dreamx, so you removed .profile and logged in successfully, right? | 11:40 |
| airtonix | gazzzmoly, are you reading that section ? | 11:41 |
| dreamx | rye, yep | 11:41 |
| gazzzmoly | yeah | 11:41 |
| mick_ | gryllida, OK, I've got a Virtual disk of 60Gb however the Actual size is 6.99Gb. I keep getting a warning that I'm running out of disk space even though the dynamically expanding storage should have the possibility of storing another 53Gb | 11:41 |
| airtonix | gazzzmoly, click that link "Read About Installing" | 11:41 |
| gryllida | mick_, what VM is that? | 11:41 |
| rye | dreamx, okay, that's nice to know there is one more place to look for issues. apart from ~/.config, .gconf... etc.. and, you are welcome :) | 11:42 |
| TheEskimo | I'd guess windows xp on VB | 11:42 |
| mick_ | It's a Ubuntu Host with a Windows VM | 11:42 |
| gryllida | mick_, is the vm named "windows vm"? | 11:42 |
| mick_ | gryllida, It's named Windows XP VM | 11:43 |
| gryllida | ok | 11:43 |
| sap | hey all. I have a question for ldap, but since #ldap is pretty dead perhabs somehow here can help me out. I got a ldap server running on my 10.04 server. when trying to add a file.ldif I have authentication problems..possibly due to not knowing which password is the right one for what etc. when I use "ldapadd -x -D "cn=admin,dc=ubuntusrv,dc=local" -f file.ldif -W" I always geht insufficient acces (50) or invalid credentials (49) | 11:43 |
| TheEskimo | mick_: Does windows see 7 gigs or 60 gigs through mycomputer? | 11:43 |
| dreamx | rye, yes it's nice to know... anyway I think my system has some other problems too, since one of the things I tried was creating a new user (with no .profile of course) and it was giving me problems too | 11:43 |
| io | mick_: They're asking for the virtual machine application, not the actual virtual machine. | 11:43 |
| rye | dreamx, what type of issues? | 11:43 |
| TheEskimo | io: He answered. It is virtual box | 11:43 |
| mick_ | TheEskimo, it only sees 7Gb when it's running however VBox reports a virtual disk of 60Gb | 11:43 |
| gryllida | mick_: "Windows Virtual PC"? | 11:44 |
| karlo | anybody know program that tell you processor temperature ? | 11:44 |
| gryllida | mick_: "Microsoft Java Virtual Machine"? | 11:44 |
| llutz | karlo: sensors | 11:44 |
| karlo | tnx | 11:44 |
| rww | !lmsensors | karlo | 11:44 |
| ubottu | karlo: To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. | 11:44 |
| airtonix | karlo, sensors applet for the gnome panel | 11:44 |
| dreamx | rye, seemed like permissions weren't set right (I could log in via gdm but some errors like "Cannot update ICEauthority" or "There is a problem with the configuration server") | 11:44 |
| gazzzmoly | airtonix i get a gpg error | 11:44 |
| io | TheEskimo: He never said VB? | 11:44 |
| TheEskimo | mick_: Is it possible you did not partition it correctly when you installed xp? Maybe it is not all partitioned to ntfs and the remainder is only free space. Can you open windows disk manager and check? (right click my computer, manage) | 11:44 |
| mick_ | gryllida, Sorry, I misunderstood your question. I'm using Oracle VirtualBox v3.2.6 r63112 | 11:44 |
| TheEskimo | io: Yes he did. Look up | 11:44 |
| airtonix | gazzzmoly, not your fault. gpg server proly overloaded or down at the moment | 11:45 |
| gazzzmoly | now what do i do | 11:45 |
| mick_ | TheEskimo, Yeah I was wthinking that. I'm going to run GParted on it now to see if I can resize | 11:45 |
| rye | dreamx, so is there anything left to fix? | 11:45 |
| airtonix | gazzzmoly, well you can continue and install anyway, or wait for gpg key so you can be sure the software you are downloading hasn't changed since it was uploaded to the server | 11:45 |
| gazzzmoly | got the key now what | 11:45 |
| TheEskimo | mick_: The correct way to check would be through windows disk manager first. I don't think gparted supports working on whatever format the vbs dynamic images are in | 11:45 |
| dreamx | rye, not at the moment, thanks again for your time | 11:46 |
| airtonix | gazzzmoly, keep rading that page | 11:46 |
| airtonix | reading | 11:46 |
| gazzzmoly | ok | 11:46 |
| gryllida | mick_: /join #virtualbox | 11:46 |
| gazzzmoly | whats launchpad | 11:46 |
| airtonix | gazzzmoly, that link you clicked on that page should have presented you with a pop up box of information (step by step on how to add a ppa repo and install from it) | 11:46 |
| gryllida | mick_: ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VirtualBox , virtualbox.org ) | 11:46 |
| airtonix | !launchpad | gazzzmoly | 11:47 |
| ubottu | gazzzmoly: Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ | 11:47 |
| mick_ | TheEskimo, Gparted is seeing a ntfs drive of 60Gb in size ... | 11:47 |

| gazzzmoly | how do i get pipe | 11:49 |
| otswim | hi, how do i share a folder for windows? | 11:49 |
| airtonix | otswim, right click it, select sharing options | 11:49 |
| airtonix | gazzzmoly, why do you need pipe ? | 11:50 |
| otswim | i'm on KDE and 'configure sharing' does nothing :( | 11:50 |
| === root is now known as Guest13694 | ||
| gazzzmoly | was that not a command you sent me? | 11:50 |
| anubis | hi ! | 11:50 |
| airtonix | otswim, we assume you are using ubuntu 10.04 here, join #kubuntu for kde ubuntu help | 11:51 |
| karlo | do I need any anti-virus ? (I think not, but I wanna be sure) | 11:51 |

| ManDay | I'm looking for a lightweight NCURSES bases audiplayer which supports all current formats, is popular, supports streaming | 11:51 |
| airtonix | gazzzmoly, no. | 11:51 |
| otswim | ok, thanks | 11:51 |
| TheEskimo | karlo: In general you only need antivirus if you share lots of files with windows computers for the windows computer's protection. You can use clamav for that | 11:51 |
| siddhion | hey | 11:51 |
| gazzzmoly | airtronix i added the repo now how do install | 11:52 |
| karlo | ok | 11:52 |
| TheEskimo | karlo: But unlesss you are sharing files often, no, you do not need any av | 11:52 |
| airtonix | gazzzmoly, did you run : sudo apt-get update | 11:52 |
| karlo | <TheEskimo> ty | 11:52 |
| gazzzmoly | yep | 11:52 |
| siddhion | not sure what i should do. trying to get transmission to recognize port 51413. should i do this via firewall or router? | 11:52 |
| gazzzmoly | failed to fetch | 11:53 |
| TheEskimo | siddhion: You need to forward the port on your router | 11:53 |
| TheEskimo | siddhion: See http://portforward.com | 11:53 |
| DRMacIver | I'm having some DNS configuration issues. My DNS servers are being set to the right ones for the network, and dig, nslookup, host, etc. all seem to be using them, but names assigned by the local DNS server are not resolving in other commands: ssh, ping, web browsers, etc. The root issue seems to be that gethostbyname is returning the wrong answer, but I can't figure out why. | 11:53 |
| gazzzmoly | airtronix: yes i get an error | 11:53 |
| airtonix | gazzzmoly, are you using lucid (because that repo doesn't actually have any packages for lucid) | 11:53 |
| gazzzmoly | airtronix is that the new version | 11:53 |
| gazzzmoly | airtronix: i think i maybe using lucid | 11:54 |
| siddhion | TheEskimo, ok I am in my router settings. Portforward does not have a guide for my router BTW. | 11:54 |
| BlackDex | oCean_: Thx for that post... It worked like a charm :). | 11:54 |
| meowbuntu | ffmpeg does not recognised libmp3lame encoder | 11:54 |
| siddhion | i have added 51413 to the start and end port range | 11:55 |
| TheEskimo | siddhion: Good. Did that resolve the problem? | 11:55 |
| tuntun | I need some help here. 10.04 won't shut down. Its just going to a login screen. I can log back in, but when I select restart or shutdown it just goes to the login screen. | 11:55 |

| gazzzmoly | from ubuntu | 11:56 |
| airtonix | gazzzmoly, system > about ubuntu | 11:56 |
| TheEskimo | siddhion: you didn't describe the problem in much detail in the first place. Can you do that now? (also, to verify the port is forwarded correctly you can go to any of a number of sites to test) | 11:57 |
| tuntun | I need some help here. 10.04 won't shut down. | 11:57 |
| airtonix | tuntun, shutdown from the login screen | 11:57 |
| siddhion | TheEskimo, in my router settings under Current Port Forwarding Table under Local IP address I have put the address I get from running 'ifconfig' | 11:58 |
| tuntun | airtonix, tried to, it doesn't do anything. | 11:58 |
| TheEskimo | siddhion: To check if that port is open you can use http://www.canyouseeme.org/ | 11:58 |
| anubis | question: can i set a disk quota for a particular folder ? for example, i have xxx directory and i want that particular directory to permit 30 MB of data | 11:58 |
| airtonix | tuntun, press ctrl alt delete a few times, wait for it to reboot and then try again | 11:58 |
| siddhion | TheEskimo, i use the 7 digit address next to 'inet addr:' | 11:58 |
| Rudemeister | Hi, I'm trying to get lucid on my dell poweredge sc420, it does, however, not boot from the cd??? are there any particulair prereqs for such a dell box to install? | 11:59 |
| === zz_severity1 is now known as severity1 | ||
| TheEskimo | siddhion: It should have been in the format of 192.*.*.* or 10.*.*.* I believe. | 11:59 |
| siddhion | TheEskimo, on canyouseeme.org it says my IP address is somethign different then what I get when I do 'ifconfig' in terminal | 12:00 |
| tuntun | airtonix, still not doing anything. | 12:00 |
| gazzzmoly | airtronix: that just pops up a browser window | 12:00 |
| TheEskimo | siddhion: The difference is your local ip vs your actual ip. Please disregard that. The router wanted your local ip, not that one. | 12:00 |
| siddhion | TheEskimo, also, it says that it can not see my service on my IP address on port 51413 | 12:00 |
| gazzzmoly | airtronix: | 12:01 |
| TheEskimo | siddhion: In that case the port was not properly forwarded. Can you tell me what model your router is? | 12:01 |
| gazzzmoly | airtronix: sorry small writeing big screen lol i am using 10.4 | 12:01 |
| gazzzmoly | airtronix: lucid | 12:01 |
| siddhion | TheEskimo, ok then it should be correct because the IP address I gave my router starts with a 192 | 12:01 |
| gazzzmoly | airtronix: i added that ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates repo | 12:02 |
| airtonix | gazzzmoly, ok so if you look at that launchpad screen you had open previously and press ctrl + f then type lucid. | 12:02 |
| siddhion | TheEskimo, my router model is a Techniclan WAR-54G http://www.techniclan.com/WAR-54G_WLAN_broadband_802.11g_AP_Router_QoS,p,88.html | 12:02 |

| TheEskimo | siddhion: I'm afraid I can't provide more help. I hope someone else can help you. | 12:04 |
| mick_ | siddhion, have you tried to go to www.ping.eu and test if the port is open on your router? | 12:04 |
| gazzzmoly | airtronix: you mean click the link for lucid ? | 12:04 |
| siddhion | TheEskimo, ok thanks | 12:04 |
| inertial | join cedega | 12:04 |

| akin_ | what is the name of the password wallet program? | 12:04 |
| gazzzmoly | airtronix: i did that and updated the repo and i typed sudo apt-get update | 12:04 |

| siddhion | mick_, jsut tested my port with Port Check and it comes back closed | 12:06 |
| mick_ | siddhion, OK, first of all you need to make sure that your local machine has the port open. I usually use a tool called nmap. You can do nmap 127.0.0.1 that will tell you all the ports open on your local machine | 12:06 |
| xenomorph_ | then? | 12:06 |
| xenomorph_ | ho bisogno di aiuto | 12:06 |
| xenomorph_ | I need help | 12:07 |

| mick_ | siddhion, OK, that's fine at least we know that your local box is listening on that port. The next step is to configure your router to point all incoming traffic on that post to your local machine. | 12:14 |

| mick_ | siddhion, you don't have a firewall installed on your machine do you? | 12:18 |
| TheEskimo | mick_: since the port is shown as open locally that no longer is of any issue even if he does | 12:18 |
| tuntun | 10.04 refused to shut down. Logged back in and then used 'reboot' from the command line, finally rebooted it, and when it restarted I could shut down normally. | 12:18 |
| dustin | you need a firewall for ubuntu??? | 12:19 |
| TheEskimo | dustin: no | 12:19 |
| mick_ | TheEskimo, it actually does make a difference, the port could be open but the firewall will block access to it from the outside | 12:19 |

| TheEskimo | dustin:It only helps if you are hosting web related services. | 12:21 |
| TheEskimo | dustin: In general, your router already prevents access to any ports on your computer. Even if that is not the case, the port will not be accessable unless you run a program to specifically open it up. I would not worry. | 12:22 |

| mick_ | siddhion, that is because you're scanning your LAN IP address. Go to www.ipchicken and get your WAN IP address then check that for open ports | 12:38 |
| thorns | My laptop freezes in the middle of suspending the LCD | 12:38 |
| mick_ | siddhion, www.ipchicken.com | 12:38 |
| thorns | The hard disk shows some activity, the keyboard doesn't and the image on the LCD is hashed like it's in the middle of the animation where gnome-screensaver dims the screen | 12:39 |
| siddhion | mick_, so the WAN IP address is different from my local IP address? | 12:39 |
| TheEskimo | siddhion: or just use http://www.canyouseeme.org/ where the ip address will be correct. You don't need to fill it in there | 12:39 |
| pha | thanks jrib. | 12:39 |
| pha | messing around with it just now. | 12:39 |
| siddhion | mick_, ipchicken says my ip is 213.199.241.50 | 12:39 |
| jrib | pha: no problem | 12:40 |
| mick_ | siddhion, Your computer has a LAN IP address and your Router has a WAN IP address. All traffic that goes to your WAN IP will be routed to the machines that are defined in the router | 12:40 |
| mick_ | siddhion, try ro a port test on that IP address and you should see that the port is open | 12:40 |

| siddhion | jrib, well i have followed mick_ instructions. i went into my router settings and made the appropriate changes. | 12:46 |
| mick_ | siddhion, there are only 3 things that I can think are causing this problem 1. Firewall on local machine blocking port access to WAN 2. Router not routing to your local machine properly 3. Program running on different port. Check these over again and make sure that firewalls and routers and program is configured correctly | 12:46 |

| ascent__ | dr.willis it was easy in ubuntu but in lubuntu I m not able to find it | 12:49 |
| jrib | siddhion: idk, look for ufw documentation | 12:50 |
| Dr_Willis | ascent__: there is the #lubuntu channel, you can always mount windows shares via the proper mount commands if you wanted to. | 12:50 |
| Dr_Willis | ascent__: of if you are getting windows to access things on the linux box. You can make shares via editing the smb.conf or just use winscp and ssh. | 12:51 |
| siddhion | jrib so are you saying to disable these ufw rules? | 12:51 |
| jrib | siddhion: no. I said for you to figure out what they do to see if they are responsible. | 12:51 |
| mattycoze | would it be a good idea to revert nvidia proprietary driver from 185 to 175 | 12:51 |
| jrib | siddhion: you enabled them at some point.... | 12:51 |

| sannn | jrib: both :) My first idea was to look at tracker but it does not work for me. (beagle and strigi are next on the list). But they all work on the concept of meta data. I want only filenames (think always uptodate locate) | 13:13 |
| jrib | sannn: I'm pretty sure you can run a search query in tracker to search only filenames, no? | 13:14 |
| timmillwood | jrib: nevermind, I was just after a simple answer, not an interrogation. | 13:14 |
| mattycoze | would it be a good idea to revert nvidia proprietary driver from 185 to 175?? | 13:14 |
| siddhion | jrib, anyways, in the Firewall page i have 5 tabs: Port Filtering , IP filtering, MAC filtering, URL filtering and DOS setting. | 13:14 |

| jrib | timmillwood: well I'm asking you the questions because it's not "easy" to downgrade software. So more likely than not, you have some problem for which there is a better solution. If you don't want to share what the actual problem is, so that we can help you, that's fine. | 13:15 |
| siddhion | jrib, actually the last one is DoS setting. | 13:15 |
| jrib | siddhion: you have to look at your router documentation for that | 13:15 |
| jrib | siddhion: like I said, an easy way to troubleshoot is to just disable the firewall for a minute and test | 13:16 |
| timmillwood | jrib: the issue is with Drupal 6 that does not support 5.3, drupal 7 will, but does not have a stable release yet. | 13:16 |
| mattycoze | :( | 13:16 |
| siddhion | jrib, haha. i never got documentation for this rare no name router. my ISP never gave it. | 13:16 |
| blink | i cant read windows .ini files | 13:17 |
| siddhion | jrib, the ufw firewall in ubuntu is inactive but i guess you mean the firewall in my router. | 13:17 |
| blink | plus downloaded few codes from ubunto software center and none of them works | 13:17 |
| sannn | jrib: perhaps if the bloody tool would work | 13:17 |
| jrib | timmillwood: interesting, does that mean the drupal6 package is broken? Have you checked for bug reports against it? | 13:17 |
| siddhion | jrib, i have looked in each of those 5 tabs under firewall and none of them has a disable firewall button. | 13:17 |
| jrib | siddhion: don't know then | 13:18 |
| timmillwood | jrib: it's not broken, just doesn't support 5.3. | 13:18 |
| jrib | timmillwood: what do you mean by that? It seems contradictory | 13:18 |
| timmillwood | jrib: http://drupal.org/node/360605 | 13:19 |
| jrib | timmillwood: so how is it not broken? | 13:20 |
| lxsys | Hi, I've got a v4l2 capture device, and I want to record video. Audio is on "hw:1,0", what should I use to record the capture thingy to disk??? | 13:20 |
| jrib | timmillwood: does the ubuntu package patch around it? | 13:20 |
| timmillwood | jrib: php is broken. ;) | 13:20 |
| jrib | yes, that's a given of course... | 13:20 |
| mick_ | siddhion, have you installed gufw to help configuring your firewall. The best way for you to fix this is to understand how port forwarding works. 1. Your router gets traffic on a certain port (51413) and it then looks at the port forwarding rules and says, OK, all traffic on port 51413 goes to IP address 192.168.1.2 on the LAN. The traffic is routed to your PC where the firewall scans is and decides if it allowed through or not. As aresult you have to test 2 th | 13:22 |
| mick_ | ings. 1. Port open and unhindered on your local machine (check firewall and transmission to make sure they are configured properly) 2. Check your router configuration | 13:22 |
| jrib | I have to stop wasting my time here. People ask questions and then just leave in the middle of a conversation? Whatever. | 13:23 |
| siddhion | jrib well i didnt | 13:23 |
| Aogo | jrib.. lol | 13:23 |
| blink | .ini files won't open. what to do? | 13:24 |

| blink | SwedeMike: I had Wine installed then removed it. Well, I receive this error message.. "Failed to execute child process "wine" (No such file or directory)" | 13:25 |
| siddhion | mick_, ok i am installing gufw | 13:25 |
| ksbalaji | monkey_dust, I tried. It says, the data files are read-only. | 13:25 |
| mick_ | siddhion, install gufw and use that to configure your firewall. Better still, uninstall ufw for testing. If it still doesn't work after removing ufw then we know it's not that causing the problem. I reckon if we eliminate each hurdle one by one we will get it sorted | 13:26 |
| Aogo | Pici what private mess i don't see any sorry | 13:26 |
| SwedeMike | blink: so without wine, what do you expect to happen when you open a .ini file? | 13:26 |
| Pici | Aogo: This is a support channel, we don't tell users to 'google it' when they ask a question. | 13:27 |
| Jinxed- | Could anyone link me to some recent documentation (prefer 10.04) about how to set up vlan routing on one interface? | 13:27 |
| Aogo | oo my bad keep the good job ... | 13:27 |
| blink | SwedeMike: The same error, though Wine is completely removed. Just lemme make sure it is out of the system. | 13:28 |
| Aogo | i have a question how long well ubuntu linux be free...? | 13:28 |
| azorius | forever hopefully | 13:28 |
| mattycoze | can someone help me work out what is wrong with my graphics card? | 13:28 |
| SwedeMike | blink: I don't want to know what error message you get, I want to know what you expect to happen when you open a .ini file without wine being installed. | 13:28 |
| azorius | is it an intel card? | 13:28 |

| chilli0 | mick_, Yes it can , I have done it to 3 other disks before this one. | 14:07 |
| chilli0 | The option is Disk Copy. | 14:08 |
| chilli0 | tntc, So can bras | 14:08 |
| mick_ | chilli0, then I'm sorry but I can't help you on this one. Good luck with it though | 14:08 |

| tntc | chilli0: oh, you mean it won't copy this particular disk? | 14:09 |
| chilli0 | tntc, Yes. | 14:09 |
| mick_ | chilli0, np just as a matter of interest, have you tried this method .... If you're using Nautilus, it's even easier (because Nautilus has its own burning utility). Put in the CD in your drive, go to Places > Computer, right-click on the mounted CD-ROM, choose "Copy Disc...", and in the Copy Disc dialog box, choose File Image in the "Copy Disc to" dropdown list. | 14:09 |

| tntc | chilli0: DVDSrhink'll do that. You just need to turn off compression. I use it to back up all my DVDs and so I can watch em on my netbook. | 14:12 |

| Anom01y | and for more lightweight install Blackbox | 15:10 |
| edbian | jinjonBoo, Note: puppy is lighter than all of these options because the entire OS fits into ram. Ubuntu does not have this functionality. | 15:11 |

| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 15:15 |

| lostinspace_46 | slidinghorn, Then looking at the tuts to change the background, what I see would indicate a blue screen?? | 15:36 |
| WindozeSuckz | jrib, it surveys the active processes and tells you what files are being opened/modified by each process, so that you can get track on the changes those programs are making in your filesystem (config and log files, temp files, etc.) | 15:36 |
| MauL^ | J3ckyl, which server should I restart after such a change ? | 15:36 |

| AdamBaylin | Hey. | 15:39 |
| LiquidDemocracy | Hi, I just came back from work and even though I had logged out before I left this morning. The computer crashed somehow and I was logged in when I turned on the monitor. | 15:39 |
| guest__ | i thought adobe flash is not advisable.. hence i installed swf | 15:39 |
| erUSUL | WindozeSuckz: well is hosuld be enough to take a look at the deb package ? | 15:39 |
| LiquidDemocracy | Just now. | 15:39 |
| lostinspace_46 | slidinghorn, OK I will try the tut again...right now my grub is black and white | 15:39 |
| LiquidDemocracy | Is there any way to find out what happened? | 15:39 |
| AdamBaylin | i was just wondering, is there any facial recognition software for ubuntu. | 15:39 |
| LiquidDemocracy | Is there any way to find out if something was done while I was away from the computer? | 15:40 |
| WindozeSuckz | erUSUL, that is useful if you want to know where the app itself installs but, when you run it, it creates temp files, logs and config files elsewhere most of the time (your home folder for instance | 15:40 |
| nerdy_kid | guest_ adobe flash is crappy but there are really no working alternitives. i would uninstall swf and install flash. | 15:40 |
| WindozeSuckz | LiquidDemocracy, install a keylogger | 15:40 |
| linxeh | LiquidDemocracy: you could check log files, next time lock the screen | 15:40 |
| LiquidDemocracy | WindozeSuckz, too late. | 15:40 |
| erUSUL | WindozeSuckz: well the conf files in your home are created when you first run the app; afaik | 15:40 |
| guest__ | nerdy_kid: ok thanks.. | 15:40 |
| ubiquitous1980 | leave | 15:41 |
| LiquidDemocracy | linxeh, that is exactly the point. The screen was locked. | 15:41 |
| LiquidDemocracy | That is a HUGE problem for me. | 15:41 |
| WindozeSuckz | erUSUL, yes that's what I'd like to know, exactly what files a given app creates, plus what tracks it could leave elsewhere (tmp folder, /var logs, and all) | 15:41 |
| J3ckyl | windooze, there are a lot of programs out there that can do what your asking. It really comes down to the extent you want your filesystem watched | 15:41 |
| LiquidDemocracy | The crash caused the desktop to become visible. | 15:41 |
| LiquidDemocracy | This is the 2nd or 3rd time this has happened to me. | 15:41 |

| laurens | how do you use braces in xubuntu? | 16:12 |
| spooky | You can redirect terminal output | 16:12 |
| philinux | kristof_D: maybe try this then. http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/06/howto-recover-grub2-after-windows.html | 16:12 |
| spooky | in temrinal, add > output.log to any command | 16:12 |
| datacrusher | mORWo, hp has know issues about this warming ironing issue, dont think its ubuntu related | 16:12 |
| spooky | to have its output sent to the output.log file | 16:12 |

| Zela | spooky what now? | 16:12 |
| nerdy_kid | Zela in a terminal | 16:12 |
| laurens | how do you use braces in xubuntu? | 16:12 |
| Zela | nerdy_kid, ya I did that but I need to select all and paste in the getedit. | 16:13 |
| grendal_prime | gdm is all mgnificated...what the hell do i do? | 16:13 |
| schlaftier | laurens: It depends on your keyboard layout. | 16:13 |
| spooky | Zela: In terminal, add > output.log at the end of a command to have everything from that command outputed to output.log | 16:13 |
| ChogyDan | [q] Is there a way that I can set the CPU powersaving setting/thingy/whatever it is permanently? Is it a bug that it chooses a random setting on boot? | 16:13 |
| spooky | i.e., ls -al > output.log | 16:13 |
| IdleOne | Zela: what text are you trying to select? is it output from a command you want to send to gedit? | 16:13 |
| spooky | then type: more output.log to view the output of ls -al | 16:13 |

| mORWo | datacrusher, thanks. so there's no solutionm, right? a friend told me to try downloading elder version of ubuntu. i thought about searching for some brand-new drivers for ubuntu :P | 16:15 |
| neverblue | what should I do in these types of situations, as I have had this happen in the past, yet I haven't found a solution that stops the errors | 16:15 |
| Zela | spooky, ok but there is a select all option but its not selecting the whole doc. | 16:15 |
| spooky | Zela: Can you drag the mouse cursor over the entire window to manually select all? | 16:16 |
| Zela | No. | 16:16 |
| nerdy_kid | neverblue pretty sure that means you have duplicate entries in your sources.list. open up synaptic click respitories and look through them | 16:16 |
| neverblue | nerdy_kid, I do not | 16:17 |
| spooky | Zela: try Ctrl + Insert | 16:17 |
| spooky | to copy, and Ctrl + Shift + Insert to paste | 16:17 |
| nerdy_kid | neverblue thats kinda the only thing that causes that error message.....dont know what else to try sorry. maybe try directly opening /etc/apt/sources.list | 16:18 |

| IdleOne | LiquidDemocracy: There should be a way to allow only authorized user to delete history. I don't know how to do that though. | 16:44 |
| TuxSax | rdingram: first of all, if you want only numeric, and want to use "only" regex, then you need to separate the outputs by groups, and also decide what and how you want it displayed | 16:44 |
| Zela | I am using pastebinit and it makes a link to pastebin I want the pastebin deleted how do I do this? | 16:45 |
| rdingram | TuxSax: Could you point me to any reference material to figure out how to do that? | 16:45 |
| metalgeek | Is there a general Linux support channel for irc (stupid question probably) | 16:46 |
| IdleOne | Zela: don't use pastebinit on files you don't want to publish. I believe the pastebin will delete the entry in 24 hours unless you selected to save it longer. | 16:46 |
| TuxSax | but you should not forget that a dot is a special char so you should escape it with backslash, so the regex looks something like [0-9][0-9]\.[0-9] | 16:46 |
| Zela | IdleOne, I didn't do anything, it just made a pastebin itself. | 16:46 |

| Zela | Ok im using pastebinit can anyone see the link on pastebin? | 16:50 |
| Zela | it pastebinned a link but can anyone see it? | 16:50 |
| rdingram | TuxSax: So is grep the appropriate command to use if I want to separate out just what the regex has matched? | 16:50 |
| jrib | Zela: you tell us the link | 16:51 |
| bastidrazor | Zela: they can if they know the url | 16:51 |
| Zela | They don't know the URL | 16:51 |
| Zela | Only i do. | 16:51 |
| jrib | Zela: yeah, so tell us. | 16:51 |
| KrisKo | :) | 16:51 |
| along | anyone know if python 2.7 is available through the package manager | 16:51 |
| abhijit | hello erkan^ | 16:51 |
| bastidrazor | jrib: that would be too easy :| | 16:51 |
| Zela | jrib, why would I show you...then you can see what I posted, I don't want people to see it, | 16:51 |
| jrib | Zela: ok... | 16:52 |
| erkan^ | hey abhijit ☺ | 16:52 |
| Anom01y | anyone here know anything about the program Lives ? I am trying to convert jpgs I have into a slideshow with effects and music for a simple youtube video. Didn't know it would be this difficult | 16:52 |
| TuxSax | rdingram: in this case you would better try to use awk | 16:52 |
| Zela | bastidrazor, will it delete itself? | 16:52 |
| eschatron | is there anybody who can help me with nvidia driver problems? | 16:52 |
| rdingram | TuxSax: Ok, I will do a little man page research. Thank you for your help! | 16:52 |
| TuxSax | awk allows you to separate the output in fields by a default or given separator and let you display what you want | 16:52 |
| jrib | Zela: depends on the pastebin you used | 16:52 |
| rww | along: looks like it isn't | 16:52 |
| along | rww: thought i was going crazy | 16:53 |
| Zela | jrib what do you mean? The pastebin it thing posted it for me. | 16:53 |
| jrib | Zela: you can choose different pastebins | 16:53 |
| Zela | jrib, i didnt know that | 16:53 |
| Anom01y | anyone here make youtube videos in Linux ? is it possible ? | 16:53 |
| Zela | jrib, I just did pastebinit path/to/file and it gave a linkl | 16:53 |

| TuxSax | in your case you will use awk instead grep and do it like this: acpi -t | awk '{print $4}' | 16:54 |
| Anom01y | Abhijeet, no I just don't think I need to use the command line to make a simple slideshow video | 16:55 |

| Anom01y | I think lives is what I need, I am just stuck trying to get it to do what I need | 17:09 |
| corpsegrindr | edbian: yeah, would a cp work better? | 17:09 |
| jrib | razz1: apt-key list on a pastebin please | 17:10 |
| edbian | corpsegrindr, Eh, it's probably just that it's a bit level copy because you have to physically move the data. Usually when you move files / folders around it's fast because that's a virtual change. The files don't actually move on the hdd. However when you copy from one hdd to another it's slower because it has to physically copy the bits. | 17:11 |
| Sary | Guys , if you're laptop has 64bit intel not amd .. wwhich Ubuntu iso whould you select ? | 17:11 |
| razz1 | jrib, ok, just givve me 2 mins | 17:11 |
| jrib | Sary: amd64 is just the name of the architecture, use that one | 17:11 |
| edbian | corpsegrindr, It's actually extremely fast. Think about what you said, 200,000 bits every second. The computer is copying 200,000 ones and zeros every second. | 17:11 |
| Dulak | Sary: how much ram do you have? | 17:11 |
| Wiesshund | corpsegrindr your working between SATA and PATA drives? i get speed issues doing that as well | 17:12 |
| corpsegrindr | edbian: Yeah but moving from sata to sata i should be getting more around 5mb+ | 17:12 |
| corpsegrindr | Wiesshund: there both sata | 17:12 |
| edbian | Sary, amd64 is 64-bit architecture. amd invented it hence the name. Both intel and amd processors that are 64 bit are called "amd64" | 17:12 |
| trojan_spike | PATA? | 17:12 |
| Sary | jrib: sorry i didn't get that ! | 17:12 |
| Dulak | Sary: it's all about the amount of ram you have, not the cpu so much | 17:13 |
| edbian | corpsegrindr, Do you mean 5mb+ per second? | 17:13 |
| corpsegrindr | trojan_spike: pata = ide | 17:13 |

| Dulak | Sary: less than 4gig you should prolly just stick with the 32 bit version, unless you have a specific need for 64 bit | 17:15 |
| giggsey_ | Basically, I need a small bit of bash to list the biggest files on the whole system | 17:15 |
| trojan_spike | where as 64bit runs higher | 17:15 |
| jrib | razz1: now what error are you getting and how? | 17:15 |
| Boopop | Anyone? | 17:15 |
| Dulak | trojan_spike: 3.6g approx, depends on chipset/bios | 17:15 |
| edbian | corpsegrindr, Ohh, you're right. Testing on my debian system sata to pata drive I'm getting about 25Mb/second | 17:15 |
| J3ckyl | trojan_spike, pin versus serial | 17:15 |

| edbian | tavish, /path/to/script | 17:21 |
| J3ckyl | corpsegrindr, if you using sftp then its going through the box you issuing the sftp from | 17:21 |
| tavish | edbian: there is no path to it | 17:22 |
| J3ckyl | corpsegrindr, and then sending it back down the network, back to the same box | 17:22 |
| Dulak | Wiesshund: you realize that going to 64 bit doubles the minimum address space right? You can't double the minimum size of an address and use less ram, it's almost impossible. | 17:22 |
| edbian | tavish, Then you don't have the iso mounted. | 17:22 |
| abhijit | metalgeek, that page reads as: What should I choose - 32 or 64 bit? | 17:22 |
| abhijit | Unless you have specific reasons to choose 32-bit, we recommend 64-bit | 17:22 |
| webPragmatist | does the cron.d have to be executable? | 17:22 |
| corpsegrindr | J3ckyl: hmm, i was not aware of that. ill just run a cp from putty and see if its quicker | 17:22 |
| jrib | webPragmatist: why are you asking? | 17:23 |
| webPragmatist | because i am curious | 17:23 |
| webPragmatist | i mean… just for funzies of course | 17:23 |
| metalgeek | abhijit, I'm such an idiot (Unless you have specific reasons to choose 32-bit, we recommend 64-bit. ) | 17:23 |
| tavish | edbian: its something like "archive://file%253A%252F%252F%252F..". | 17:23 |

| metalgeek | abhijit, Sorry | 17:23 |
| abhijit | metalgeek, :) | 17:23 |
| edbian | tavish, How did you mount the .iso ?? | 17:23 |
| abhijit | metalgeek, go for 64 bit | 17:23 |
| Dulak | Recommended so you'll find bugs, not recommended because it's the best option. | 17:24 |
| webPragmatist | jrib: that doesn't really help me… the crontab file only has a line of configuration… it doesn't seem logical for it to be executable | 17:24 |
| tavish | edbian: from nautilus | 17:24 |
| edbian | tavish, go to /media | 17:24 |
| jrib | webPragmatist: ask your real question instead of being so ambiguous | 17:24 |
| edbian | tavish, Is there a folder in there containing your iso? | 17:24 |
| metalgeek | So i have to install over network or from usb key, which do you guys suggest would be a good learning experience | 17:24 |
| metalgeek | For this nub | 17:24 |
| abhijit | metalgeek, learning? what you want to learn? | 17:24 |
| Wiesshund | metalgeek unetbootin is nice | 17:24 |
| webPragmatist | jrib: I'm not being frickin ambigious… i'm asking if the files you put in /etc/cron.d have to be executable or not | 17:24 |
| tavish | edbian: there is no such folder, it used to be there in 9.10 im on 10.04 | 17:24 |

| jrib | webPragmatist: ah, before you asked if the directory itself had to be executable | 17:25 |
| abhijit | metalgeek, visit linux.com and some good linux forums | 17:25 |
| edbian | tavish, Do you see the iso in the output of df -h ?? | 17:25 |
| webPragmatist | sorry | 17:25 |
| edbian | metalgeek, I enjoy your enthusiasm | 17:25 |
| abhijit | metalgeek, tldp.org also | 17:25 |
| metalgeek | edbian, Hi guy, nice to see you againg | 17:25 |
| metalgeek | *again sorry | 17:25 |
| edbian | metalgeek, :) Loving linux I see? | 17:26 |
| tavish | edbian: nope :( | 17:26 |
| jrib | webPragmatist: anyway, no they don't have to be executable | 17:26 |
| edbian | tavish, Let's mount it for real then? Sound good? Create a folder in /mnt to mount it in. What is the path to the iso? | 17:26 |
| metalgeek | Saving all these bookmarks like crazy for down time lol | 17:26 |
| webPragmatist | jrib: okay thanks | 17:26 |
| jrib | webPragmatist: why aren't you using a user's crontab? | 17:26 |
| bjornin | ls | 17:27 |
| oCean_ | -al | 17:27 |
| tavish | edbian: ok, ill do that, i saw that command a while ago while searching for help | 17:27 |
| bjornin | =) | 17:27 |
| tavish | edbian: thanks | 17:28 |
| webPragmatist | jrib: hrmm i dunno ? whats the advantage? | 17:28 |
| webPragmatist | this is a script that needs to be run no matter if the user is logged in | 17:28 |
| edbian | tavish, You don't need anymore help?? | 17:28 |
| jrib | webPragmatist: yeah use the user's crontab | 17:28 |
| egelmex | I keep getting errors like "Maximum number of clients reachedCould not initialize SDL - exiting" and similar ones about too many X windows open though i only have a few windows open, any ideas? | 17:28 |
| metalgeek | edbian, Yup, Linux has been an amaizing learning curve for sure, holding on by the seat of my pants and loving every minute. Thanks for all your help once again | 17:29 |
| edbian | metalgeek, :D | 17:29 |
| webPragmatist | jrib: whats the disadvantage? i like how /etc/cron.d you can see everything | 17:29 |
| jrib | webPragmatist: you organize things by user | 17:29 |

| \rainman\ | why does ubuntu's uname not show cpu info | 17:33 |
| chanpa | Hum. Even on a HDD that I ain't using atm? | 17:33 |
| Dulak | webPragmatist: no, you'd put the script somewhere else, say /usr/local/bin and then call it from the formatted crontab file, it is a special format to tell cron what it needs to know, not a plain script | 17:33 |
| edbian | chanpa, The root partition (and typically home) must be mounted to boot ubuntu. However any other partition can be messed with to your hearts content because they can be unmounted live :) | 17:33 |
| mda_ | virtualbox has improved quite a bit...used to crash a lot....i can run ubuntu server in it nicely now | 17:33 |

| edbian | chanpa, install gparted from the repos and have fun | 17:33 |
| webPragmatist | Dulak: right.. similar to what is used in the cron.d | 17:33 |
| webPragmatist | ? | 17:33 |
| edbian | chanpa, There is also fdisk but it is cli and therefore much less intuitive. | 17:33 |

| crux000 | (Limited time only as I have to wipe the machine and get it back to its owner pronto too) | 18:00 |
| Docteh | ah | 18:00 |
| cxmatias | DASPRiD , i dont think the problem is the bad conection becouse google is working right | 18:00 |
| froud | Dulak: Hi, yes I can do it all via GUI, but in this case the script I have defines a kiosk and I would like it to do everything so that these things in the gui dont get missed during install via SSH | 18:01 |
| abhijit | ionut, if you live in us then try hulu. i cant because its us only :( | 18:01 |

| webPragmatist | any of you know a command line s3 viewer that can download a bunch of files | 18:01 |
| cfedde | can charitable donations be made to support ubuntu development? where can they be made? | 18:01 |
| webPragmatist | like entire buckets | 18:01 |
| ionut | abhijit: me neither , i am from italy now | 18:02 |
| froud | Dulak: so like you I am left wondering where it is tored :-) | 18:02 |
| abhijit | ionut, ok | 18:02 |
| Pici | cfedde: I'm not sure. The folks in #ubuntu-community-team would know best. | 18:02 |

| malikeye|123 | now I gotta figure out why my bootup screen is really low resolution | 18:05 |
| k0sh | is there a mount switch to auto create directory ? | 18:05 |
| jesus__ | hola | 18:05 |
| jesus__ | hola | 18:05 |
| Dulak | froud: found it, the default session info is in .dmrc in the user-s home dir | 18:06 |

| ubottu | jesus__: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 18:06 |
| EvilPhoenix | is there any way to change the resolution that the TTYs use? | 18:06 |
| EvilPhoenix | like the ctrl+alt+f1 button opens up a TTY window, any way to change its resolution? | 18:06 |
| Docteh | crux000: i thought swap was detected by looking at the partition types | 18:06 |
| Dulak | froud: you can make a template out of that file and just stick it in the home dir | 18:06 |

| Wiesshund | EvilPhoenix to be less than full screen? | 18:08 |
| crux000 | Docteh: It is, although I'd think that the LiveCD wouldn't touch it even if it found some. | 18:08 |
| chococa | I just installed ubuntu server on a laptop. The console however lags badly... any suggestions? Using Lucid | 18:08 |
| EvilPhoenix | Wiesshund: to ahve more rows and lines on the TTY screen | 18:08 |
| EvilPhoenix | have* | 18:08 |
| EvilPhoenix | er rows and columns* | 18:08 |
| Wiesshund | EvilPhoenix oh, im not sure | 18:09 |
| crux000 | Docteh: The udev log shows the partitions coming up as "linux_raid_member" just fine | 18:09 |
| Zelozelos | what can i use to take some music, some pics, and a little bit of vid , mix them all together into a photo/video presentation w some slide effects n stuff? | 18:09 |
| Docteh | what bout fdisk -l? | 18:09 |
| chococa | Anyone? | 18:10 |
| crux000 | Linux raid autodetect | 18:10 |
| Wiesshund | chococa>> why server on a laptop? | 18:10 |
| BGL-[a] | what's a free anti virus that has a gui? | 18:10 |
| Wiesshund | BGL-[a] av for windows? | 18:11 |
| Docteh | and it was using the partition or the md dvice as swap? | 18:11 |
| DevAkim | :o | 18:11 |
| chococa | Wiesshund: It's an old laptop i use as a dev server | 18:11 |
| Zelozelos | BGL-[a], klam av | 18:11 |
| BGL-[a] | heh no for ubuntu | 18:11 |
| froud | Dulak: You * found it key is Session=blackbox | 18:11 |
| crux000 | Docteh: two of the partitions from the array | 18:11 |
| Pici | !virus | BGL-[a] | 18:12 |
| ubottu | BGL-[a]: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 18:12 |
| chococa | Wiesshund: i plan to run apache.. nothing else really | 18:12 |
| crux000 | Docteh: MD device wasn't picked up automatically | 18:12 |
| Wiesshund | chococa if the laptop is old 10.4 may not be the best choice for it. might pick an older distro and remove gnome etc from it | 18:12 |
| chococa | it's ubu server no GUI | 18:12 |
| Zelozelos | BGL-[a], incase u arent aware, viruses dong get very far on a linux os, there arent many virusus out there, and the ones that do exist mostly its user error that allows them to do anything | 18:12 |
| BGL-[a] | it's not really for the machine its on | 18:12 |
| Dulak | chococa: you can turn off the console framebuffer at boot which should make it much faster, edit /etc/default/grub, uncomment GRUB_TERMINAL=console, save the file, run sudo update-grub and reboot | 18:13 |
| MattC | does anyone know of apache2-prefork-dev or apache2-threaded-dev causing some processes to not auto start on boot? this is on a fresh install of 10.04 server | 18:13 |
| chococa | Dulak: Thank you | 18:13 |
| DevAkim | I'm a n00b to Linux. :| | 18:13 |
| Wiesshund | BGL-[a] so you want AV for windows? try Avast | 18:14 |
| Docteh | crux000: make a partition on some drive (any spares?) thats marked raid memer then mkswap it and then boot that, might be the swap finder isn't looking at file system types | 18:14 |
| Docteh | your data just happened to be a magic number for swap possibly | 18:14 |
| crux000 | Docteh: there's two other drives in the array, exactly identical, that never get picked up as swap for some reason. | 18:14 |
| crux000 | Docteh: ... what's this "swapfinder"? does it leave a log I can read? | 18:15 |
| Docteh | crux000: with raid you can have the meta data at differen places | 18:15 |
| kokomedel | hi alguien habla español q me pueda ayudar ? | 18:15 |
| trism | MattC: does: runlevel; output unknown? | 18:15 |

| ubottu | kokomedel, please see my private message | 18:16 |
| Docteh | crux000: i don't know where it is, but if you can give them a test case they can fix it | 18:16 |
| crux000 | I know. | 18:16 |
| crux000 | <--- has 3 hours before delivery of this system back to my younger brother | 18:16 |
| MattC | trism: i'll do that | 18:16 |
| sikilpaake | help! i booted up my laptop and got "1234F".. what do i do? | 18:16 |
| crux000 | so I'm mostly snagging any logs I can. No time for experiments | 18:16 |
| Docteh | you shouldn't need his box | 18:16 |
| Docteh | grab the first and last megabyte of all the partitions in that array if you want tho | 18:17 |
| crux000 | that's not a bad idea | 18:17 |
| MattC | trism: yes, it does output unknown | 18:17 |
| RespectTM | hello | 18:17 |
| lostinspace_46 | My grub boot screen looks like the one here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Splash%20Images%20and%20Theming except mine is black and white. I have a 640x480 png image located in /boot/grub and /usr/share/images/desktop-base that I wish to use. I believe I have followed the tutorial correctly, but I still have just the black background. Any ideas? | 18:17 |
| Wiesshund | sikilpaake did you just install something? | 18:18 |
| abhijit | om26er, ping | 18:18 |
| trism | MattC: yeah, it is probably related to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/554172 , there is no fix out yet, but there are some workarounds in the comments that seem to work for some people | 18:18 |
| sikilpaake | Wiesshund: no | 18:18 |
| sikilpaake | Wiesshund: i just turned the computer off last night | 18:19 |
| Docteh | lostinspace_46: manuallly load the png from the grub cli it usually complains when necessary | 18:19 |
| edju | 10.04, I'm told, recognizes an iphone out of the box. Mine doesn't. I've been searching but have come up empty. If anyone knows of a sxs for the simple-minded, I'd appreciate it. | 18:19 |
| MattC | trism: ty very much for pointing me to that bug report! i'll check it out | 18:19 |
| sikilpaake | Wiesshund: i imagine my mbr is fooked, but i don't know how to restore it | 18:19 |
| lostinspace_46 | Docteh, The grub cli? | 18:19 |
| Docteh | yea its got a command line | 18:20 |
| metalgeek | Should i install, Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop to my netbook? | 18:20 |
| RespectTM | could anyone help me with wine? | 18:20 |
| Wiesshund | sikilpaake i believe you need to reset your partitions boot flag | 18:20 |
| sikilpaake | Wiesshund: how do i do that? | 18:20 |
| Docteh | metalgeek: if you have the space go nuts | 18:20 |
| lostinspace_46 | Docteh, Umm, how do I get to it? | 18:20 |
| sikilpaake | Wiesshund: oh | 18:20 |
| sikilpaake | Wiesshund: lemme try that :) | 18:20 |
| RespectTM | need help installing damn .net framework 2.0 | 18:21 |
| Docteh | lostinspace_46: eek i dunno that off hand | 18:21 |
| winmutt | im building my own kernel 2.6.34 trying to get KMS support for my radeon drivers. Is there anything I need to change from the default config to get the kernel to work with ubuntu? | 18:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Yo yo yo | 18:21 |
| metalgeek | Docteh, 3gb mem 250gb HDD celeron 743 | 18:21 |
| metalgeek | With a small win 7 partition | 18:21 |
| metalgeek | %)g | 18:21 |
| Docteh | nice | 18:22 |
| metalgeek | 50gb | 18:22 |
| lostinspace_46 | Docteh, OK, I'll look around a bit | 18:22 |
| metalgeek | So will desktop run (amd64) | 18:22 |
| RespectTM | need help installing .net framework 2.0 on kubuntu | 18:22 |
| ActionParsnip | metalgeek: is the celeron a 64bit cpu? | 18:22 |
| Docteh | metalgeek: check if its 64bit | 18:22 |
| RespectTM | 64 | 18:23 |
| ActionParsnip | metalgeek: that's what determines it, the rest is moot | 18:23 |
| metalgeek | ActionParsnip, Hi, I believe so | 18:23 |
| Docteh | metalgeek: netbooks are atom cpus these days and those are recently supporting 64bit | 18:23 |
| metalgeek | ActionParsnip, Just looking it up now | 18:23 |
| ActionParsnip | metalgeek: then you can run 64bit | 18:23 |
| RespectTM | god dammit | 18:23 |
| Docteh | it'll be all haw haw you cant run this pretty quick in the boot process anyways | 18:23 |
| Dulak | it runs like crap on a netbook | 18:23 |
| Dulak | 32 bit runs much better | 18:24 |
| ActionParsnip | metalgeek: if you try running the 64bit install cd and the chip is only 32bit, it'll tell you | 18:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Dulak: 64bit will outperform 32bit in data intensive situations like data transformations and sql etc | 18:25 |
| Wiesshund | RespectTM http://www.builderau.com.au/program/dotnet/soa/Running-NET-on-Linux-with-DotGNU/0,339028399,339130565,00.htm | 18:25 |
| Wiesshund | RespectTM maybe that may help? | 18:25 |
| jp73036 | Quick question... does anyone know where i can find information regarding using bind with active directory? | 18:25 |
| metalgeek | ActionParsnip, gonna try and do it from usb, but getting quite confused with the webpage help | 18:25 |
| ubuntufreak | After a recent update to kernel in my Ubuntu 10.04, my ethernet is not getting detected. Currently i am using the Live CD to access the internet, any help to get back my connection in the normal mode ? | 18:26 |
| RespectTM | need help istalling .net framework 2.0 on wine kubuntu 10.04. PM ME! | 18:26 |
| ActionParsnip | metalgeek: use your windows system to make the usb. Pendrivelinux has a universal app to put the iso on usb. Or you can use unetbootin | 18:26 |
| Dulak | ActionParsnip: doesn't change the fact that for day-to-day client stuff it runs like crap compared to 32 bit on the same netbook. I installed 64 bit first and even just watching video was like a slideshow. 32 bit and everything is smooth as silk | 18:26 |
| frxstrem | is it possible to run Windows Live Messenger on Ubuntu? | 18:26 |
| metalgeek | ActionParsnip, I keep seeing that, is that the best way? | 18:27 |
| crux000 | Docteh: thanks for recommending to snag the first 1m off each drive | 18:27 |
| illac_ | Dulak: you have a netbook that runs 64 bit? | 18:27 |
| crux000 | compressed nicely; it's going onto the bug report | 18:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Dulak: day to day stuff, maybe. Never had an issue here with video but I always uise nvidia so I have no issues :) | 18:27 |
| ActionParsnip | metalgeek: there is no best way | 18:27 |
| Dulak | Illac_: acer d150 | 18:27 |
| metalgeek | cool, will give a try, Thanks all Bye | 18:27 |
| ActionParsnip | metalgeek: there is no best anything in life | 18:28 |
| illac_ | Dulak: I didn't think they even had 64bit netbooks :/... unless you're running more than 2 gigs of RAM I doubt you'll see better performance from 64 | 18:28 |
| philinux | frxstrem: amsn or emesene | 18:28 |
| jp73036 | intel atom processor is x64 yea? | 18:28 |
| illac_ | jp73036: I didn't think it was | 18:29 |
| ActionParsnip | jp73036: there is a 64bit version, yes | 18:29 |
| frxstrem | philinux: note that I said Windows Live Messenger, not any eqivalents of it | 18:29 |
| jp73036 | thought so | 18:29 |
| Dulak | the new ones are all 64bit capable afaik | 18:29 |
| illac_ | frxstrem: virtual box | 18:29 |
| Dulak | it runs badly though | 18:29 |
| jp73036 | anyone intimately familiar with Bind and Active Directory? :D i'm having all kinds of issues | 18:29 |
| philinux | frxstrem: check out wine appdb website | 18:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Atom 330 is 64bit | 18:30 |
| ActionParsnip | frxstrem: it may run in wine, check the appdb | 18:30 |
| jp73036 | yep.. i'm going to be building a low power consumption linux server box with one soon as i find a decent place to get parts hehe | 18:30 |

| Koshie | Hi | 18:34 |
| J3ckyl | ubuntufreak, I opened a chat window to you | 18:34 |
| chococa | So now... any pointers on ho to change the resolution of the linux console in ubu server? | 18:34 |
| k0sh | oops, its houldve go to offtopic | 18:34 |
| ActionParsnip | jp73036: could just use one with 2 logical software adapters. | 18:34 |
| Koshie | G0dGrind: You mean your ip like 192.168.0.<numberofyourchoice> ? | 18:34 |
| G0dGrind | I mean I want to change it to any ip I want. | 18:35 |
| jp73036 | well i need 2 physical if i'm going the ClearOS route | 18:35 |
| NorthByNorthWest | Hi all! I have a really strange and annoying problem. I have downloaded and build a new driver module for my on board network interface card. The module is placed in /lib/modules/2.6.31-16-generic/kernel/drivers/net/e1000e/e1000e.ko and is of version 1.2.8, but still the OS loads the old driver (v1.0.2) at boot time and I have to make a rmmod and then an insmod to make it use the proper driver!! How do I fix this, it boggles m | 18:35 |
| Koshie | I'm not sur to understand, your public IP ? | 18:35 |
| jp73036 | i don't claim to be any kind of *nix expert.. heh.. i'm somewhere in the middle | 18:35 |
| Dr_Willis | chococa: you should look in information on the 'framebuffer' you can change settings if using the framebuffer with the fbset and some other commands. | 18:35 |
| ActionParsnip | chococa: follow guides for bad resolution in plymouth under proprietary video drivers, it will show how to enable framebuffer which will make the text smaller | 18:35 |
| G0dGrind | yes. I want it so that people who look for me will find my fake it | 18:35 |
| G0dGrind | my public ip to get onto the Internet. | 18:36 |
| chococa | ok, thank you | 18:36 |
| Koshie | G0dGrind: proxy. | 18:36 |
| wolfbiker | hey there, can anyone please tell me how much space does open arena occupy in the disk? | 18:36 |
| asig | ubuntu-es | 18:36 |
| G0dGrind | is their a good ip soofer for Ubuntu ;-) | 18:36 |
| abhijit | asig, type /j #ubuntu-es | 18:36 |
| Dulak | chococa: to change the resolution you have to use the framebuffer, which you said was laggy which is why I had you go to the normal console. You can't have it both ways unfortunately | 18:36 |
| asig | ups, sorry | 18:36 |
| G0dGrind | proxies are go slow. | 18:36 |

| k0sh | wolfbiker: nexuiz takes about 700mb last time i instaleld it, but it downloads a lot form game servers so total dir of it grew to like 2gb | 18:37 |
| Koshie | What is a soofer ? | 18:37 |
| Dr_Willis | wolfbiker: looks like over 300+mb | 18:37 |
| G0dGrind | koshie: it is a program that lets you use any ip you want. | 18:37 |
| sticky | G0dGrind, that is the funniest thing I've read ever. | 18:37 |
| Koshie | I see. | 18:37 |
| Zolomon | After I've added something into my .bashrc, what do I do to update bash with the changes? | 18:37 |
| peri4n | source .bashrc | 18:37 |
| Oer | G0dGrind, why do you think it exist ? | 18:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: not bad considering most windows games are several gb installed | 18:37 |
| Dulak | Zolomon: source .bashrc | 18:37 |
| wolfbiker | k0sh, all right thanks | 18:37 |
| DrMrHorse | Zolomon: open a new terminal window | 18:37 |

| Koshie | Grat ô/ ! | 18:38 |

| Koshie | But we're in 2010 dude :D | 18:38 |
| azlon | i recently installed some updates and now my web page isnt working. i verified that apache2 is running but what else can i do to troubleshoot it? | 18:38 |
| k0sh | wolfbiker: but i think if you run synaptic it will tell you how much it will take | 18:38 |
| Wiesshund | G0dGrind uh i dont think anyone is going to help you with that since doing that usualy involves you trying to do something bad and not get caught | 18:38 |
| sticky | lol | 18:38 |
| c3l | how do you guys sync config files between your different computers etc? | 18:38 |
| ActionParsnip | G0dGrind: what have you got to hide | 18:38 |
| sticky | G0dGrind, there is no such thing as a "IP Spoofer" that lets you use "Any IP you want" | 18:38 |
| Zolomon | how do I take a parameter into an alias? | 18:38 |
| Dulak | c3l: puppet | 18:38 |
| winmutt | im building my own kernel 2.6.34 trying to get KMS support for my radeon drivers. Is there anything I need to change from the default config to get the kernel to work with ubuntu? | 18:39 |

| Dr_Willis | RespectTM: #winehq is not invite only. its 'registered nicks' only most likely | 18:39 |
| winmutt | free beer? | 18:39 |
| Koshie | winmutt: I've never say that ! :o | 18:39 |
| RespectTM | :D | 18:39 |
| G0dGrind | I heard that their was a kernal patch, that allowed ip spoofing ... | 18:40 |
| RespectTM | i prefer beer too but thx for help anyways :) | 18:40 |
| ActionParsnip | G0dGrind: to avoid being banned just don't be a clown and you will never get banned | 18:40 |
| Wiesshund | G0dGrind simple answer, dont get banned | 18:40 |

| maco | sticky: unless yolu buy from a linux-only manufacturer. which, IMO, you *should* because then you dont count toward microsoft's windows sales stats | 18:52 |

| besogon | And where can I find that? | 18:54 |
| letas | IMO if you buy a laptop and install Ubuntu to it, it works fine and even better than when you had windows on it but somehow a least with my laptop i noticed that performance became an issue, in fact I am downgrading to ubunut Karmic | 18:54 |
| chococa | Dulak: I blacklisted vga16fb, commented the blacklist for the sis driver(i have a sis vid card) and re-enabled the framebuff... now it works as it should | 18:55 |
| chococa | no more big fonts or slow updating | 18:55 |
| chococa | Thanks again though | 18:55 |
| coz_ | letas, that doesnt surprise me...with some of the new implimentations on lucid many people have one or more issues | 18:55 |
| Oer | besogon, stunserver.org ? | 18:55 |
| Dr_Willis | besogon: clarify what you are talking about. | 18:55 |
| Docteh | lostinspace_46: did the png command say anything? | 18:55 |

| peri4n | ping | 18:57 |
| besogon | Dr_Willis: I have a home router on which NAT is turned on. DDC don't work | 18:57 |
| Docteh | there should be some sort of png or background related command available to you | 18:57 |
| gefire | #ownlinux | 18:57 |
| coz_ | letas, well if you download and burn the minimal install cd you will have many options but I prefer Edubuntu on most machines because it far out performs ubuntu or kubuntu and certainly way better performance than if you installed kde onto an existing ubuntu install | 18:57 |
| lostinspace_46 | Docteh, png command? Do you mean background_image= ? | 18:57 |
| Dr_Willis | besogon: there proberly a router config, or irc client config you can do to tweak that.. but ive not used that D cc type feature of irc in years. | 18:58 |

| Docteh | lostinspace_46: dunno, grub 1 or 2? | 18:58 |
| Dr_Willis | esarandon: elaborate on the problem a bit more. You have checked the numerous lirc config web sites/wiki pages and forum posts? | 18:58 |
| coz_ | JennaNV, in terminal gconf-editor | 18:59 |
| esarandon | I need to setup my RC ir, from HP | 18:59 |
| letas | coz_ I will give it a try tonight - the way i set up my linux box i can install any new distro without losing data... | 18:59 |
| JennaNV | ok, that's what I thought, thanks | 18:59 |
| coz_ | JennaNV, or alt+F2 gconf-editor | 18:59 |
| esarandon | I found the codes on the lirc web | 18:59 |
| letas | and if it is a debian based distro I can even automate the program installation | 18:59 |
| esarandon | but I dont know if i need to add that info to the file lirc.conf or create a new one? | 18:59 |
| lostinspace_46 | Docteh, grub screen says grub 1.98...and from what I've read it works like grub2 | 18:59 |
| Dr_Willis | esarandon: try making a new one . see if it works. | 19:00 |
| Docteh | lostinspace_46: type in the grub prompt background_image /your/file like no = sign | 19:00 |
| Docteh | the grub prompt when you're booting, not the prompt you can get while in linux | 19:00 |
| esarandon | i did, but now when i try to replace the lirc.conf with the new one I can not do it | 19:00 |

| jukebox-zero | I'm running lucid, and ran into a strange problem. I went to install Mint Isadora on my 10GB utility partition to give her a spin at a friend of mine's request, the Mint install broke my grub2, I'm thinking because the partition was near the end of my drive and my bios probably can't read past 137GB. So I deleted the mint partition, removed grub2, installed regular grub from the lucid repos, ran grub-install on hd0,0, but i | 19:07 |
| jukebox-zero | still get grub recovery when i try to boot and even if I setprefix and setroot manually, it wants to specify them at hd0,6. There is no 0,6 on my HD. Any ideas? | 19:07 |
| magicianlord | karlo: it should be quick, if you make a list | 19:07 |
| metaperl | leifw thanks... ithought it would be in /bin | 19:07 |

| usacomputertec | Ok new problem. I have a personal CNC machine called a cricut Personal cutting machine | 20:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | usacomputertec, java switched repos | 20:32 |
| samijam | does anybody know of an irc channel for empathy? | 20:32 |
| BluesKaj | nacitar, you're running a 64 bit OS hence apt has liste 64 bit sources as default, and you're implying the 64 bit libs on't work | 20:32 |
| uRock | rocket16, haven't tried yet. I didn't wanna mess anything up | 20:32 |
| usacomputertec | I need to know how to get this CNC machine working with Ubuntu 10.04 | 20:32 |
| usacomputertec | ZykoticK9 my Java is installing now do not worry about that. I have a new question about CNC | 20:33 |
| Andrew32 | Are people still having problems with the "intel" driver crashing in 10.04? Doesn't seem to be in 8.04 | 20:33 |
| maco | Andrew32: no problem for me | 20:33 |
| Quintin | msn not working in empathy ?? | 20:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | nacitar, check out "getlibs" it installs 32bit libs on 64bit Ubuntu - VERY handy. | 20:33 |
| BluesKaj | me neither | 20:33 |
| uRock | rocket16, yup, that did it, thanx. My Intro to Unix/Linux book left that out of the chapter. | 20:34 |
| nacitar | BluesKaj: yes, but i can still g++ -m32 | 20:34 |

| Dr_Willis | usacomputertec: or you mean one of those 'paper cutout' things? (/me looks at the history) | 20:35 |
| usacomputertec | Dr_Willis basically the Cricut is a cutter. It has some sort of blade in it that will cut paper, fondent | 20:35 |
| infid | BluesKaj: this website only wants the windows version of jvm =[ | 20:35 |
| usacomputertec | Dr_Willis paper cut out things | 20:35 |
| Dr_Willis | usacomputertec: ok. :) i work on 'real' cnc machines that do Metal machining. :) ive not seen any of thiose that use linuyx. | 20:35 |
| Dr_Willis | usacomputertec: got it. seen them on infomercials and stuff. wife wants one for her crafts. (more junk for her closet) | 20:36 |

| nacitar | ZykoticK9: I take it getlibs isn't in apt? | 20:37 |
| usacomputertec | Dr_Willis my mom saved money buying this model over the Cricut cake because originally they hacked the cricut personal Electronic Cutter Machine to do what the Cricut cake does | 20:37 |
| BluesKaj | nacitar, ZykoticK9 's suggestion should help you , http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2009/09/install-air-ubuntu-linux-64.html | 20:37 |
| usacomputertec | Dr_Willis before they made the cricut cake | 20:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | nacitar, it's not in the default repo if that's what your asking. | 20:37 |
| hax_max | i hav installed tomcat on ubuntu but not able to see startup message like server is starting | 20:37 |
| usacomputertec | Dr_Willis it has a printer's USB port on the back and you can purchase $60.00 software for XP, 7 or Vista to cut out custom shapes | 20:38 |

| ZykoticK9 | J11, see tee i believe | 20:40 |
| J11 | 53 is priviledged udp port? | 20:40 |
| J11 | so sudo should only be needed for the first command | 20:40 |
| Dr_Willis | usacomputertec: i was just curiouis because all the ones i work on. use windows pc's for a 'front end' to the speciak CNC programing language the machines use to define the part-cutting-program. Ive not seen any that use linux | 20:40 |
| usacomputertec | Dr_Willis are you sure? I think the Cricut uses the same technology but these artsy women who use them don't know how to hack. | 20:40 |

| ym | Just installed Linux, and I'm still learning how use it's DOS. Can anyone tell me how to disable filename case sensitivity? It's a real pain in the ass that file.jpg is different from File.JPG. :/ | 21:04 |
| frog | i mean a command | 21:04 |
| jrib | frog: that would run every minute :/ | 21:04 |
| Dr_Willis | frog: you are using the 'sleep' command in an inittab? thats a little. odd. | 21:04 |

| illac_ | acromat: crontab -l | 21:05 |
| MsTanya | hoyl shit. wtf | 21:05 |
| Dr_Willis | ym: easy answer.. you DONT disable filename case sensitivity. | 21:05 |
| illac_ | crontab -e | 21:05 |
| acromat | im running ubuntu in vmware | 21:05 |
| acromat | Dr_Willis: are you really a doctor | 21:05 |

| erUSUL | MsTanya: can you explain what do you mean "delete"? | 21:07 |
| acromat | erUSUL: where? | 21:07 |
| Dr_Willis | frog: You dont do cron jobs that run every 10 sec. I think cron is nto that 'time accurate' | 21:08 |

| zack1 | I cant figure out how to mount my ubuntu harddrive (im using a live cd) I recieve a bad superblock error. Can I force mount it or anything? | 21:09 |
| Dr_Willis | zack1: a bad superblock error = the filesystem is currupted. and needs to be fscked/scaned/fixed. | 21:10 |
| erUSUL | zack1: have you passed a fsck looking for errors ? | 21:10 |
| ZykoticK9 | zack1, bad superblock could also mean your trying to mount the wrong location, do you see your HD with "sudo fdisk -l"? | 21:11 |
| zack1 | Dr_Willis: how do i run the fsck? | 21:11 |
| MsTanya | can someone link me to help/ | 21:11 |
| Dr_Willis | !fsck | zack1 | 21:11 |
| ubottu | zack1: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 21:11 |
| zack1 | zykotick: yes i see it | 21:12 |
| ZykoticK9 | !tab > zack1 | 21:12 |
| ubottu | zack1, please see my private message | 21:12 |
| Dr_Willis | zack1: 'sudo fsck /dev/sdXX where XX = the proper info for your filesystem | 21:12 |
| erUSUL | zack1: gparted can pass a fsck. is the check option | 21:12 |

| AndyGraybeal | okay, i'm using gdisk and i'm partitioning a RAID array, should I choose "Linux RAID" for this? i'm so new to gdisk and i'm following these instructions: http://blog.al4.co.nz/2010/05/09/configuring-the-raid-array/ -- this author recommends to use Linux/Windows data. any recommendations? | 21:15 |
| * Dr_Willis is assuming some 'game' that comes in 40+ zip archives with file_id.diz files is warez... | 21:15 | |

| Dr_Willis | k0d3g3ar: watch the sale papers. thats what ive been doing. | 21:16 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | hmm | 21:17 |
| shell-fu | for mounting points, is ext3 or 4 better for /, swap, and /boot | 21:17 |
| Um_cara_qualquer | Dr_Willis, why's that? | 21:17 |
| Dr_Willis | shell-fu: swap has its own filesystem. ext4 may be a little faster.. /boot/ could be ext3. proberly wont matter. | 21:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | shell-fu, could you rephrase your question? mount point are independent of file system. | 21:17 |
| shauno | shell-fu: swap doesn't have a filesystem, and boot is usually small enough that you won't see much advantage either way | 21:17 |

| rockets | What does the Ubuntu DVD contain that the CD installer doesn't? | 21:18 |
| rockets | E.g. this: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/10.04/release/ | 21:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | rockets, just more packages be default i believe | 21:19 |
| Dr_Willis | rockets: more languages mainly. so normally its not needed | 21:19 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont think any actual more 'packages' then the normal cd. | 21:19 |
| hylian | hello, how do i remove "link to" so that new links don't have that. windows got rid of it in xp, this is soo not needed. | 21:19 |
| rockets | Dr_Willis, oh alright, so no need for it then. | 21:19 |
| AndyGraybeal | k0d3g3ar: i can't say, it depends, i'd do research before getting it; find out what model you want and do google search 'ubuntu laptop model number' or 'linux laptop model number' but you probably know that. | 21:19 |
| rockets | And I really could just install the languages later if I ever needed them. Which I never will. | 21:19 |
| dustin | you cant really get a virus unl;ess your really wanting one, put even then, ,only wine that i know of, its so you an use windows programs | 21:19 |
| Dr_Willis | hylian: the only time i notice a 'link to..' in the name. is when an identical named thing allready exists.. let me double check | 21:20 |
| Dr_Willis | hylian: yep. I drag/drop select link to.. -> it only adds link to.. IF the filename is allredy in the directory.. | 21:21 |
| hylian | Dr_Willis right but how can you create a link in another place other than where the link's native resides? i only know of the right click and "make link" method | 21:21 |

| thetabyte | anyone got a clue on my question? anyone know a way to disable text under icons on the gnome desktop? | 21:23 |

| lorenz | BansheeKing, I read a post on ubuntuforums about that... try searching there | 21:25 |
| BansheeKing | Okay, thanks. Appreciate the help. | 21:25 |
| hylian | in other words i just want it to say "xyz.doc" not 'link to' | 21:25 |
| thetabyte | hylian: right click, rename it? o.O or do you mean, by default? | 21:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | BansheeKing, i think if you disable compiz your cursor will work as designed | 21:26 |
| hylian | i mean by default, because i might be making a mass amount of links here. | 21:26 |
| thetabyte | aah | 21:26 |

| ridin | what is ls -l | 21:26 |

| ZykoticK9 | ridin, list long | 21:26 |
| hylian | why would ubuntu add what msft realized 10 years ago was a bad idea? | 21:27 |
| thetabyte | ridin: ls lists files, -l is an option | 21:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | ridin, more accurately "list long form" or "list detailed" | 21:27 |

| KE1HA | @ridin LS Command: http://sernaonubuntu.wikidot.com/command-line:ls | 21:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | hylian, certainly using ln from command line doesn't add the "link to..." part | 21:28 |
| hylian | but without console, in otherwords, gui please. | 21:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | hylian, rename them after | 21:29 |
| hylian | maybe ill add this to the ubuntu forums, under the wish list thingy. | 21:29 |
| thetabyte | hylian: well, if you either take a popup window in windows or a default name in ubuntu, both are annoying | 21:29 |
| dustin | can you screen record it, so i know what you mean? | 21:29 |
| hylian | ZykoticK9, renaming 1003 documents afterwards is a pain. | 21:30 |

| frankbro | Is there a wow ubuntu channel ? | 21:30 |
| hylian | thetabyte, how can i make a link in another folder then? all i know is right click in the same folder, click make link | 21:30 |

Even if wine close it, a wow.exe us stuck in the process manager, even if I kill it. Sometimes I have to open wow about 3 times before the login process actually goes through. Anyone heard of that ? | 21:34 |
| c3l | hylian: you wont have to do any shellscripts, just one short command, ill show you | 21:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | frankbro, if regular kill fails try with -9, so "killall -9 wow.exe" might work | 21:34 |

| sjm | hylian, if you absolutely have to use the gui, use the "make link" option in nautilus for the folder (directory) rather than each file and rename that link. | 21:35 |
| hylian | i think im gonna ask for that feature to be considered, since it's really not neccessary. or you should be given that option with copy-paste like windows | 21:36 |
| frankbro | But the fact that it crashes only about half of the time is what is weird, I think it has something to do with how my processor or memory is used. It tends to crash more when I'm using a lot of the computer's ressources | 21:36 |

| c3l | hylian: whats the purpose of this? | 21:38 |
| c3l | hylian: btw, a link isnt a link if its not pointing at something, then its just a file or w/e | 21:38 |
| hylian | c3l when i link a document, it says "link to document" i simply want it to say document. in other words, - the 'link to' | 21:38 |

| BluesKaj | you research "stuff", must be some lab, srk9 | 21:41 |
| hylian | lorenz if i have to go into command just to make something as simple as a link, if just defeated the whole purpose of the gui, to have a at your fingertips solution. dont worry about it guys, i can muttle through, not a big deal, just thought maybe there was a simple switch somewhere that would solve this. | 21:41 |

| piyrw | dustin: The 32bit gnome desktop version (although I don't use gnome). | 21:41 |
| lorenz | hylian, this is linux and not windows... you could try making a script | 21:42 |
| c3l | hylian: youre missing the point, the terminal IS THE SIMPLEST WAY, a gui is just a frontend to the terminal commands. a gui is often worthless, i never use one now when Ive learned to do stuff the easy and fast way. | 21:42 |
| dustin | 1` Gentoo Linux | 21:42 |
| srk9 | Scripts are hard. It is easier to just do terminal commands. | 21:42 |
| sjm | hylian, the command line is a powerful tool that you should get to know. the gui is for simple stuff. What you want to do (approx 1000 links) is not "simple". one command in the terminal and you're done to go do other stuff. Try it, you might like it. | 21:42 |
| srk9 | Unless you need to do the same thing over and over again. | 21:42 |

| hylian | lorenz, it doesnt matter that this is linux, no matter what os this is, something like this should either be not supported, (ubuntu) or be a in gui option, (windows). It's not a big deal. | 21:43 |
| srk9 | c3l: Well, the alternative is Mac OS X. | 21:43 |
| thetabyte | thanks io :) | 21:43 |
| BluesKaj | this ubuntu support , gentoo is for bragging rights :) | 21:43 |
| piyrw | dustin: some recent updates to firefox have screwed up the fonts, and I'm not sure if its firefox or jaunty-specific... | 21:43 |
| io | thetabyte: No problem, nice though. :-) | 21:43 |
| c3l | srk9: why not just use ubuntu? I guess Im missing your point | 21:43 |
| usacomputertec | how do I probe the hardware on my computer? | 21:43 |
| erUSUL | usacomputertec: define "probe" | 21:44 |
| srk9 | c3l: I think the idea was to make someone learn how to use the terminal. | 21:44 |
| sjm | usacomputertec, lspci? /proc/cpuinfo? free? | 21:44 |
| nisstyre65 | usacomputertec: udev does that for you | 21:44 |
| usacomputertec | erUSUL I want to know everything about every chipset, driver, manufacturer | 21:44 |
| hylian | i have noe fear of using the terminal when it's called for. when it is not, and i need to use the terminal for little dinky things, like, ohh, making a link, then i ofcoarse try and avoid it. | 21:44 |
| piyrw | If my firefox fonts for some sites look like this: http://imagebin.ca/view/MXG4FNl.html anyone know what the fix is? | 21:44 |
| c3l | hylian: lorenz no scripts is needed, just one short command to link the whole folder to his documents | 21:44 |
| srk9 | Not much from the terminal is required for a Ubuntu Linux installation. | 21:44 |
| hylian | c3l im trying not to do what you just mentioned. if that was what i wanted, i would never have logged on. | 21:45 |
| usacomputertec | how do I lspci to a text file | 21:45 |
| erUSUL | usacomputertec: lshw-gtk; sysinfo; in terminal « sudo lshw | less » lshw can generate an html file to view in a browser | 21:45 |
| erUSUL | usacomputertec: lspci > text.file | 21:45 |
| c3l | hylian: okay, tell me why you want to do it with your GUI. | 21:45 |
| sjm | hylian, c3l, if you don't want to link the folder, the command is only slightly longer and you have links to all the documents in the folder. | 21:45 |
| hylian | c3l all i wanted to know was if i could make the default not say "link to" that't it, that's all. | 21:46 |
| brummbaer | usacomputertec: lspci >> lspci.txt | 21:46 |
| lorenz | hylian, you login to IRC because you want to fix a problem you have... if you dont want to fix it the WAY other people do then go use google | 21:46 |
| srk9 | hylian: What is the default? | 21:46 |
| * erUSUL enjoying the storm in a teacup | 21:46 | |
| srk9 | hylian: Actually, for what is "link to" the default? | 21:46 |
| hylian | srk9 the default is "link to doc.doc" i want it to by default just say doc.doc. and i come here to aska question for which i found no help for in google. | 21:47 |
| lorenz | srk9, its like shortcut to* in windows | 21:47 |
| srk9 | Where are you reading "link to doc.doc"? | 21:47 |
| shell-fu | can you make a parition table inside a partion? | 21:47 |
| hylian | srk9 when i make a link. | 21:47 |
| sjm | srk9, in the menu of nautilus, there's a "make a link" option that creates a link that has "link to..." in the name of the link | 21:47 |
| c3l | hylian: you wouldnt have that concern if you did it the easy way :) also it might be a limitaiton in nautilus or which ever file manager youre using. it says link infront of it because guis are often made to be simple for those who are scared of the terminal. if you want controll, go to the terminal, else stick with what is and use the GUI :) | 21:47 |
| shell-fu | partition** | 21:47 |
| erUSUL | shell-fu: no. | 21:47 |
| lorenz | c3l, great speach | 21:48 |
| srk9 | hylian... What does this link you make do? I do not use GNOME, so I need it spelled out for me. | 21:48 |
| shauno | hylian: the default is there for a reason. you can't have a file named "doc.doc" and a symlink named "doc.doc" in the same directory. without the default, the menu entry simply wouldn't work | 21:48 |
| hylian | c3l it's really no big deal. i can make links just find, and rename them all by myself. i was just looking for a possible function i couldnt find. dont worry about it :) | 21:48 |
| brummbaer | hylian: that sounds like it's from a nautilus script? you could probably change the nautilus script :) | 21:49 |
| erUSUL | hylian: it has to have the "link to" because it can not be two files with the same name in the same folder | 21:49 |
| erUSUL | hylian: as simple as that | 21:49 |
| c3l | hylian: well there is ofc a sulution, go change the source code for your file manager. (or as previously stated, use the obious solution :D ) | 21:49 |
| sjm | hylian, you're really asking a nautilus question rather than a linux/ubuntu question. | 21:49 |
| hylian | is there a way to make a link from a document in another folder besides where the document resides/ | 21:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | hylian, sure from command line ;) | 21:50 |
| c3l | hylian: ln -s /path/to/link /path/to/target | 21:50 |
| erUSUL | hylian: Dr_Willis; eons ago; told you how | 21:50 |
| lorenz | hylian, go ask further questions about the GUI in nautilus related forums/IRC chanels... maybe they can help you | 21:50 |
| srk9 | c3l, do you have any idea why he does not just do that if a symlink is what he wanted to make? | 21:50 |
| erUSUL | hylian: press alt + drag the file | 21:51 |
| devin | if i try to adjust the volume above halfway, i get speaker crackle. i already tried switching from pulseaudio to alsa but they both did it | 21:51 |
| shauno | hylian: hold down alt while you drag the icon from one folder to another. when dropped, it'll pop up a menu offering you more choices than just copy | 21:51 |
| Jordan_U | c3l: * "ln -s /path/to/target /path/to/link" | 21:51 |
| guest1 | may be a picture will help us to solve that funny situation with link | 21:51 |
| hylian | thanx guys, but i really dont want to type /path/to/target (/media/Storage/documents/*.doc) everytime i want to make a link, see? easy is the idea, not hard, aye? | 21:51 |
| srk9 | hylian, you have hard and easy confused. | 21:51 |
| hylian | shauno thank you! thats what i was looking for! | 21:51 |
| lorenz | hylian, just drag the file into the terminal | 21:51 |
| srk9 | hylian, could your adversion to using the command prompt be the result of an inability to type quickly? | 21:51 |
| guest1 | nautilus extensions scripts вon't ? | 21:51 |
| c3l | srk9: newcomers from the dark side are often stubborn and wants to do it the way they did it before (then why change..) | 21:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | hylian, GUI is the hard way in most cases ;) | 21:51 |
| sjm | hylian, for file in /path/to/files/; do ln -s /path/to/link/$file /path/to/file/$file; done (or something very much like that. | 21:51 |
| erUSUL | hylian: anf links created that way do not have the "link to" in the name | 21:51 |
| NightlyUser | does anyone find it ironic that a person with the nick hylian is having trouble with LINKs? | 21:52 |
| srk9 | c3l: I thought windows did not support symbolic links. | 21:52 |
| oka | hylian, type <enter first letters> and press TAB | 21:52 |
| guest1 | HYperlinks :) | 21:52 |
| astra-x | is there anything like yojimbo for Ubuntu? | 21:52 |
| erUSUL | astra-x: waht is yojimbo ? | 21:52 |
| hylian | shauno gave me the answer, thank you! | 21:52 |
| srk9 | Here is another question... Why does hylian have time to use IRC if he does not have time for the terminal? | 21:52 |
| lorenz | srk9, shortcuts... ;) | 21:52 |
| astra-x | erUSUL: http://www.barebones.com/products/yojimbo/ | 21:52 |
| c3l | srk9: me too, I dont really know what he's refering to | 21:53 |
| shauno | here's a question. is ubuntu linux for human beings, or are we really just terminal elitists. | 21:53 |
| devin | if i try to adjust the volume above halfway, i get speaker crackle. i already tried switching from pulseaudio to alsa but they both did it. my mac dual-boot can play sound much louder without problems | 21:53 |
| erUSUL | hylian: Dr_Willis eons ago and me just now did the same | 21:53 |
| HomingHamster | hi | 21:53 |
| srk9 | Does an IRC client exist that works inside a terminal? | 21:53 |
| brontosaurusrex | shauno: the 2nd | 21:53 |
| * brummbaer nods at shauno | 21:53 | |
| srk9 | I am new to IRC, so I am ignorant of these things. :/ | 21:53 |
| HomingHamster | i have a 4GB maxell pendrive with encryption when i start gparted with it connected gparted crashes | 21:53 |
| erUSUL | srk9: many | 21:53 |
| c3l | srk9: irssi, the besct client af them all (incl guis :) | 21:53 |
| brontosaurusrex | srk9: there are plenty of them | 21:53 |
| HomingHamster | does anyone know what i can do to format this drive? | 21:54 |
| hylian | yeah, i didn't realize, you had to press alt after leaving the window. so it would just drag around the window, instead of letting me drag and drop, my bad. | 21:54 |
| lorenz | srk9, yeah the gui is to crowded ;) | 21:54 |
| erUSUL | srk9: irssi; weechat; bitchX .... | 21:54 |
| Stavros | hello | 21:54 |
| srk9 | Is irssi the best in everyone's opinion? | 21:54 |
| BluesKaj | gawd i hope I'm not terminal , elitist | 21:54 |
| erUSUL | !best | srk9 | 21:54 |
| ubottu | srk9: 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. | 21:54 |
| ridin | how do i install and use emerald themes? | 21:54 |
| HomingHamster | srk9, i think so | 21:54 |
| Stavros | varnish is at 2.1.0 which is a bit unstable, will 2.1.2 be backported or is there a way to get it? | 21:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | !emerald > ridin | 21:54 |
| ubottu | ridin, please see my private message | 21:54 |
| devin | anybody know anything about speaker crackle?? | 21:54 |
| BluesKaj | !emr | 21:54 |
| erUSUL | !emerald | ridin | 21:54 |
| ubottu | ridin: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. | 21:54 |
| srk9 | Okay. I am installing irssi. Thanks for the tip. | 21:55 |
| sjm | shauno, probably most here use the power of the cli when appropriate and didn't know about your drag-n-drop solution. | 21:55 |
| BluesKaj | !emerald | ridin | 21:55 |
| srk9 | irssi will install as soon as it finishes compiling from source. :D | 21:55 |
| hylian | well thanx alot guys! I appreciate it. i use terminal a ton, but thats for things like changing file permissions, or fstab, or using apt-get, or for ssh-ing into a server. | 21:55 |
| entropia | hi, i use in bash cal > calendario; sed -n -e "2,7 p" calendario | cut -d" " -f1 and it show me only the 2 numbre's days, how can i fix it | 21:55 |
| ridin | oh dang ;x | 21:55 |
| srk9 | hylian, file permissions can be done from inside a file manager window. | 21:56 |
| iceroot | srk9: sudo apt-get install irssi why compiling? and yes, irssi is the best | 21:56 |
| c3l | srk9: tbh ive never seen anyone use another terminalbased irc client than irssi. (when trying it, dont get scared of, it is quite annoying at the start if not used to similar programs. but its well documented on its site) | 21:56 |
| BluesKaj | !emerald | 21:56 |
| ubottu | emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. | 21:56 |
| srk9 | iceroot: I am running Gentoo Linux. It does not have a binary package. | 21:56 |

| srk9 | iceroot: I am in #gentoo as well. | 21:56 |
| downey554 | hello, i am new to ubuntu..... just installed Basic-256 for my son and it locks up after a couple of command lines. is there something i am doing wrong? | 21:56 |
| hylian | what can i say, i am oldschool terminal linux. but... i also like easy. i remember file perimssions, it's stuck, i dont remember all the codes... | 21:57 |
| srk9 | I am new to IRC, so I am trying out a few different channels at once. | 21:57 |
| devin | anybody know anything about speaker crackle?? | 21:57 |
| guest1 | there are few people at #gentoo | 21:57 |
| erUSUL | entropia: cal | sed -n -e "2,7 p" | awk '{print $1}' | 21:57 |
| pk__ | i have a directory in 666 mode | 21:57 |
| erUSUL | entropia: cut is too "rigid" | 21:57 |
| BluesKaj | devin, could be dirty volume ctrls | 21:57 |
| srk9 | c3l: thanks for the information. I have it installed now, so I will try it out in a bit. | 21:57 |
| pk__ | but when i cd to it...it says permission denied | 21:57 |
| entropia | thanks erUSUL | 21:57 |
| devin | BluesKaj, what do you mean by that? | 21:58 |
| pk__ | please help | 21:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | pk__, directories need to be executable for you to enter them. | 21:58 |
| c3l | I just have to ask while youre talking of gentoo, whats the point of not havin binaries? it just takes extra time, and I've never had the need to change something before installing (maybe im just not aware of the goodness in it..) | 21:58 |
| erUSUL | entropia: also; as you saw; you do not need a file | 21:58 |
| pk__ | k | 21:58 |
| froschi | so people, is the are graphical tool to add other OSs to the grub? | 21:58 |
| BluesKaj | exactly what I said, devin ,,you weren't specific about what you are trying to do | 21:58 |
| c3l | srk9: the #irssi is good too for help, anyways gl :) | 21:58 |
| srk9 | c3l: The reason is because binaries restrict what you can do with software. | 21:58 |
| froschi | *there a* :/ | 21:59 |
| srk9 | c3l: thanks. I will try that. | 21:59 |
| pk__ | worked thanx | 21:59 |
| HomingHamster | does anyone know where i can find help for gparted | 21:59 |
| AndyGraybeal | okay guys, i got a 640GB raid array - i would like it to house /srv and /home -- what is the recommended way to do this? i would prefer not to split it up into different partitions and keep it one big partition. | 21:59 |
| BluesKaj | !gparted | 21:59 |
| ubottu | gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 21:59 |
| c3l | srk9: I can still easily get the sourceif I want in ubuntu, but mostly I never have too | 21:59 |
| devin | BluesKaj, i was specific earlier, so here it is again: if i turn the volume up past halfway, i get speaker crackle in linux, but not in the macOSX partition, and i already tried switching from pulseaudio to alsa and they both did it | 21:59 |
| shauno | srk9: binaries are only restrictive if they're the only option. you're free to apt-get source package on sensible distros too. it's just considered sane not to *have* to | 21:59 |
| hylian | HomingHamster here is the manual, but you probably need mor ehelp? http://gparted.sourceforge.net/docs/help-manual/C/gparted.html | 21:59 |
| BluesKaj | devin, what sound card/ | 22:00 |
| HomingHamster | hylian, i just asked and didn't get a respose so i was looking for a help room | 22:00 |
| === root is now known as Guest98649 | ||
| entropia | erUSUL, how can i do it whithout a file | 22:00 |
| erUSUL | entropia: i just showed you | 22:00 |
| hylian | HomingHamster did that help at all? | 22:01 |
| erUSUL | entropia: do you see any file in my command line | 22:01 |
| erUSUL | ? | 22:01 |
| entropia | erUSUL, i see, thanks again | 22:01 |
| froschi | !grub | 22:01 |
| ubottu | 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. | 22:01 |
| srk9 | c3l: Anyway, with binaries, you have quite a few things chosen for you. Large pieces of software typically have different build options. Those build options turn on and off different features. Sometimes they control the selection of multiple mutually exclusive features. You need to compile from source to get them. By having an OS that always compiles from source, you can get the best of both worlds, because it needs to be designed | 22:01 |
| srk9 | to handle that sort of thing. Gentoo Linux has this concept of USE flags that handles these sorts of features. It is not perfect, but at the same time, manipulating them can allow you to remove entire dependency chains from your system and alter multiple packages at once. | 22:01 |
| devin | BluesKaj, i'm not sure but ALSA says Realtek ALC889A | 22:01 |
| froschi | !grub2 | 22:01 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 22:01 |

| BluesKaj | devin, lspci | grep audio , in the terminal | 22:02 |
| hylian | HomingHamster you asked for the manual, and i gave you it: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/docs/help-manual/C/gparted.html | 22:02 |
| devin | BluesKaj, nothing happened | 22:02 |
| HomingHamster | hylian, thanks, do you know of a place where i can ask people for support in gparted? | 22:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | devin, "lspci | grep -i audio" will probably work | 22:03 |
| srk9 | c3l, I am moving to $ubuntu-offtopic | 22:03 |
| srk9 | #ubuntu-offtopic | 22:03 |
| froschi | well, now the topic is on the table: ubuntu (as debian) *have* the source repos and one *can* build software. i not often did that. but is it simple to 'convert' to compiling everything, like 'make world' in ubuntu? | 22:04 |

| erUSUL | dj_: afaik is installed by default | 22:10 |
| sjm | shauno, for support, it's not needed. configuration in ubuntu may differ, though | 22:10 |
| erUSUL | dj_: it is default python in lucid | 22:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Python 2.6.5 | 22:10 |
| dj_ | Dr_Willis, I need it for ultamatix fyi,its a lil prog ultimate ubuntu devs made that I like to add ppa's etc easily | 22:10 |
| sjm | shauno, mostly as to keyboard layout and dictionaries and such | 22:10 |
| hylian | guest1 if you know your way around terminal, you can type this: sudo aptitude install python2.5 | 22:11 |
| shauno | sjm, good to know (as I said, I'm not sure to what extent their dialects differ) | 22:11 |
| guest1 | I know | 22:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | dj_, you might want to check out "Ubuntu Tweak" | 22:11 |
| Dr_Willis | dj_: i would find some other program that does teh same job.. if their tool is still ysing that older python.. well.. thats not a godo sign | 22:11 |
| dj_ | hylian it is not in my repos | 22:11 |
| guest1 | he wanna a lower level of python | 22:11 |
| Dr_Willis | dj_: theres dozens of 'ppa/repo management type tools out' I use ubuntu-tweak mainly. | 22:12 |
| entropia | hey erUSUL, cal | sed -n -e "2,7 p" | awk '{print $1}' doesnt work | 22:12 |
| dj_ | ZykoticK9, I also use tweak,I just had to install the ppa to get the one that works for lucid | 22:12 |
| erUSUL | entropia: how it fails ? | 22:12 |
| guest1 | interesting : we can't uninstall python because of system? | 22:12 |
| === pipegeek1 is now known as pipegeek | ||
| Dr_Willis | You can have more then 1 version of python. but it can cause issues | 22:12 |
| falconic | hey guys.. | 22:12 |
| hylian | dj_ i see what you mean, the closest i see is 2.6 minimal, 3.0 is too new? need older dependencies? | 22:12 |
| dustin | hi | 22:12 |
| entropia | erUSUL, it always put the number 1 | 22:12 |
| falconic | I just finishing installing Lucid on my Acer 5745G laptop | 22:12 |
| falconic | and facing two issues | 22:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | dj_, if you know the ppa address just use "sudo add-apt-respository $NAME" | 22:13 |
| falconic | 1) No Sound | 22:13 |
| sjm | guest1, use aptitude search (or apt-cache search) to see if there is a prior version that can be installed | 22:13 |
| falconic | 2) No Battery Meter | 22:13 |
| entropia | erUSUL, cal 2010 | sed -n -e "2,33 p" | awk '{print $1}' | 22:13 |
| PinkBunny | hi | 22:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | !enter | falconic | 22:13 |
| ubottu | falconic: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 22:13 |
| dj_ | ZykoticK9, I got the ppa for tweak but ultamatix doesnt have a ppa | 22:13 |
| erUSUL | entropia: i see | 22:13 |
| falconic | the sound works in the live cd and was working earlier.. but not anymore..... when I click on the notification area applet.. it says.. waitng for devices.. | 22:14 |
| falconic | ubottu: will keep that in mind :) | 22:14 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 22:14 |
| devin | i am trying to follow the instructions to fix my sound problem and it says to open a file /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/HD-Audio-Models.txt.gz but i can't because the permissions are -rw-r--r-- 1 root root and it won't let me change them | 22:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | dj_, if this ultramatix doesn't use modern Python it's probably not worth the work... just my opinion ;) | 22:14 |
| erUSUL | entropia: i do ot see an easy way to fix it | 22:14 |
| dustin | i need an so the can make my penteim 3 work like new(like a reto fit) and so i can reuse so old computers | 22:15 |
| dj_ | also another issue I have is using conduit toolbars in ubuntu,the radio player does not appear to work,anyone know of a plugin that might get it working in firefox? | 22:15 |
| RealOpty | t | 22:15 |
| falconic | ZykoticK9: Do u have any idea on how to solve the pulseaudio issue ? I have searched forums..and people ahjve reported the same issue..but no solution till now :( | 22:15 |
| hylian | dj_ don't know if this is what you are looking for but this is supposed to help you if you are using 10.04 and need python 2.5:http://jordilin.wordpress.com/2010/05/02/python2-4-python2-5-and-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/ | 22:15 |
| entropia | erUSUL, yea i know | 22:15 |
| Dr_Willis | dustin: clarify the question please. | 22:15 |
| RealOpty | asdf | 22:15 |
| dj_ | ZykoticK9, you are probably right,I am just use to it and you know how that goes | 22:15 |
| aaron__ | Does anyone know how to make Ubuntu ignore a corrupted NTFS Hard Drive on boot? (I'm booting from a flash drive)... | 22:15 |
| entropia | erUSUL, i will search in google | 22:15 |
| jfx_ | does any one no why my wireless cuts out about every 5 mins | 22:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | falconic, sorry man, no idea(s) | 22:15 |
| Stavros | i have an installed package i want to upgrade from source, how can i easily do this? | 22:16 |
| erUSUL | jfx_: see if there is a clue in dmesg or /var/log/messages | 22:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | dj_, the familiar is always easier, until you need to find something new :) | 22:16 |
| falconic | ZykoticK9: Any directions on where to look for this.. or who may be able to help ? | 22:16 |
| erUSUL | !backports | Stavros | 22:16 |

| sjm | dustin, try installing "lubuntu" which is designed to be a "lighter" packaging of ubuntu for older computers and netbooks/nettops | 22:16 |

| ZykoticK9 | falconic, not really. Hope someone who knows more about solving sound problems answers you ;) Best of luck man. | 22:17 |
| erUSUL | Stavros: compiling from source should be allways the last option | 22:17 |
| hylian | dj_ hope that works for you. | 22:17 |
| Stavros | erUSUL: the package doesn't have a backport or ppa :/ | 22:17 |
| dj_ | ZykoticK9, I am spoiled by ultamatix's ppa's it has | 22:17 |
| sjm | devin: sudo less /path/to/file | 22:17 |
| erUSUL | Stavros: getdeb ? | 22:17 |
| Dr_Willis | dj_: you can just take the sources.list from ultamatix or whatever.. and copuy them over,. | 22:18 |

| monkey_dust | is ultamatix still supported? | 22:18 |
| entropia | erUSUL, i fix it | 22:18 |
| erUSUL | devin: it is readable by anyone; you do not have to modify it. what is the problem ? | 22:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | dj_, i'd just try to find the PPA you want from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas or see if they are in Ubuntu-Tweak | 22:18 |
| erUSUL | Stavros: a site with debs for ubuntu | 22:18 |
| Dr_Willis | guest1: the 2 use gtk so yes.. they do sort of share that. | 22:18 |
| hylian | does anyone know of a way to run windows apps besides wine? my friend said there was another option (not vbox) that ran smoother than wine. | 22:18 |

| hylian | !root | 22:33 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 22:33 |

| === jeremy is now known as Guest70931 | ||
| ActionParsnip | vintner: ONLY run it that way if you need he extra powers | 22:35 |
| sjm | PinkBunny, how are you at editing text files? | 22:35 |
| vintner | ok. its only my htpc, gonna be a pain when i have to move files, folders, etc | 22:36 |
| devin | okay, if you won't answer me erUSUL, does anybody know whether it makes a difference that in /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/HD-Audio-Models.txt.gz my exact Macbook model is not listed? | 22:36 |
| online | i got sick just settings this skype mic problem..i dont know whatto do..any help? | 22:36 |
| online | i'm using ubuntu 10.04 | 22:36 |
| erUSUL | devin: well is harder to pick what options to use i guess | 22:36 |
| guest1 | there a lot of articles 'bout skype | 22:37 |
| online | any suggestions or solutions? | 22:37 |
| online | or assistance | 22:37 |
| ActionParsnip | online: is your mic muted at all, are you using a 64bit ubuntu? | 22:37 |
| peripher4l | help please! | 22:37 |
| online | yes | 22:37 |
| guest1 | you neуd to add some words in congig file | 22:37 |
| devin | erUSUL i also found MacBook 3,1 maybe i should go with that one because it's more likely the older model would be the same? | 22:38 |
| Dr_Willis | peripher4l: its better to nicely rephrase/clariofy your question - instead of just going 'please help' | 22:38 |
| erUSUL | devin: you can try that and some of the generic ones | 22:38 |
| sjm | PinkBunny, you need to blacklist the startup of modules rt2x00usb | 22:38 |
| sjm | rt2x00lib | 22:38 |
| sjm | rt2800usb | 22:38 |
| sjm | so they don't conflict with rt2870sta | 22:38 |
| PinkBunny | erUSUL, thanks alot for your help :) | 22:38 |
| FloodBot1 | sjm: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:38 |
| erUSUL | PinkBunny: no problem | 22:38 |
| ActionParsnip | !sound | online | 22:38 |
| ubottu | online: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 22:38 |
| peripher4l | Dr_Willis: sorry, it's just i posted my question four times already... How can you make grub ignore a corrupted hard drive? | 22:38 |
| ActionParsnip | online: do you use a creative audigy sound card? | 22:38 |
| online | no | 22:39 |
| PinkBunny | sjm, Am new to this so alittle more a little slower please | 22:39 |
| ActionParsnip | online: good, that helps a LOT | 22:39 |
| shauno | devin: I believe the soundcard in macbook 4,1 is almost identical to macbook 3,1; this may aid your search | 22:39 |
| Dr_Willis | peripher4l: from what i know.. grub shouldent be getting affected by a Currupted ntfs at all. | 22:39 |
| Dr_Willis | peripher4l: so perhaps clarify what its doing and how. | 22:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | online, "lspci | grep -i audio" | 22:40 |
| peripher4l | Dr_Wills: It keeps returning a "DRDY_ERROR" or something similar, and won't boot. | 22:40 |
| hylian | online this might help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=353053 | 22:40 |
| sjm | PinkBunny, you will need to edit a configuration file or two. can you pastebin the output of "lsmod | grep rt" please? | 22:40 |
| Dr_Willis | peripher4l: What keeps returning that and when/where ? | 22:40 |
| erUSUL | peripher4l: that are errors from the sata/pata driver and can mean a dying hard drive loose cables etc depending on the exact wording of the errors | 22:40 |
| ennui | I have an external hard drive which I do not have RW permissions on. In GParted it shows as "unknown file system" and I can't seem to use chown on it. It was originally used on an OSX machine. Any ideas as to how I could change the permissions without formating the drive? | 22:40 |
| sjm | peripher4l, ( Dr_Willis ) did you try setting the BIOS to boot from USB? | 22:41 |
| peripher4l | Dr_Willis: When I boot from my flash drive, the Ubuntu "slider bar" moves back and forth (9.04), but after a while, the terminal appears and keeps returning the DRDY_error | 22:41 |
| erUSUL | peripher4l: https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Libata_error_messages | 22:41 |
| === LouisJB_ is now known as LouisJB | ||
| PinkBunny | sjm, http://pastebin.com/Rn2zZNii | 22:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | ennui, not sure - but i don't think linux has native support for mac file systems, thus "unknown file system". I doubt it's a permission issue. | 22:41 |
| online | if igo search ican see just ALSA | 22:42 |
| shauno | ennui: I believe if the filesystem has journalling enabled, write support isn't provided by the driver. If you still have access to an osx machine, you can disable journalling non-destructively | 22:42 |
| hylian | ennui is it in an apple format? or ext 3-4 or ntfs? (maybe i mean what was it?) | 22:42 |
| Dr_Willis | peripher4l: if you see teh ubuntu anuimation.. its past Grub.. so your question is basically wrong. Grub is not being affected.. ubuntu ,or somthing else is.. | 22:42 |
| === pipegeek1 is now known as pipegeek | ||
| Dr_Willis | peripher4l: you are trying to recvover information from that ntfs disk? or what exactly? | 22:42 |
| peripher4l | Dr_Willis: My Friend dropped his laptop, so I'm trying to recover his data... | 22:43 |
| ennui | shauno: I went into OSX and, with disk utility, disabled journaling on this drive so i don't think thats the problem at the moment | 22:43 |
| ActionParsnip | online: thats as much as I know. Ive never had a single sound issue | 22:43 |
| ActionParsnip | online: does the mic work in other apps? | 22:43 |
| Dr_Willis | peripher4l: i would suggest putting the drive into a usb enclosuer. booting up a ubuntu system, and trying to 'dd' the drive to a image file. then recvover from that image file | 22:43 |
| Dr_Willis | peripher4l: its very possible that HD is dead. | 22:43 |
| ennui | hylian: GParted won't list the format as I think the partition table is funky... any way to see the format from the command line? 'mount' and 'fdisk' didn't show me the format | 22:43 |
| ActionParsnip | peripher4l: have you berrated him about the virtues of backups? | 22:44 |
| Dr_Willis | peripher4l: its also possible the drive has came loose from the mb. or other damage to the laptops internals | 22:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | ennui, "sudo fdisk -l" | 22:44 |
| hylian | ennui do you have another medium with the amount of disc space needed, maybe you could run a file recovery tool and then format afterwards? | 22:44 |
| ActionParsnip | peripher4l: if there was a backup system in place then there would be no issue of data retrieval | 22:45 |
| jjmartin_ | i am running an update and I have this window for grub asking to install on partitions. currently the / partition is checked. should I leave it as is ? | 22:45 |
| shauno | ennui: have you tried specifying the filesystem with mount -t hfsplus ? | 22:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | hylian, why are you suggesting that? ennui can see the drive in OSX obviously if they can turn journalling on/off | 22:45 |
| sjm | PinkBunny, just a sec... looking at something... | 22:45 |
| peripher4l | Dr_Willis: I'm pretty sure the drive is 'zombied', but Windows returns a "Disk Read" Error and Ctrl-Alt-Delete restart message on startup... | 22:45 |
| w0_ | Flare183: any luch? | 22:45 |
| Dr_Willis | jjmartin_: one normally installs grub to the HD you boot from | 22:45 |
| w0_ | Flare183: luch > luck | 22:45 |
| ennui | hylian: unfortunatly I am broke and I don't have another drive to store this data so I can reformat the drive | 22:45 |
| ashley85 | can any one help me with my network card problem? | 22:45 |
| ActionParsnip | jjmartin_: default is usually fine | 22:45 |
| PinkBunny | sjm, ok | 22:45 |
| peripher4l | ActionParsnip: I'm at math camp, and so he can't access any form of backup. :( | 22:46 |
| slidinghorn | !anyone | ashley85 :) | 22:46 |
| ubottu | ashley85 :): 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? | 22:46 |
| Stavros | does anyone know the settings for compiling packages for ubuntu from source? | 22:46 |
| ActionParsnip | ashley85: you havent asked yet so we'll never know | 22:46 |
| Stavros | i mean --prefix and the like | 22:46 |
| jjmartin_ | ActionParsnip, why would i be prompt to install it in the same place again? | 22:46 |
| Dr_Willis | peripher4l: its possible some other disrtos may skip the disk checking/trying to mount features of ubuntu. You could try tinycore linux, or that system-rescue live cd setup. | 22:46 |
| Jordan_U | jjmartin_: It's *not* telling you to install to all partitions. | 22:46 |
| ActionParsnip | peripher4l: you can take a small USB drive to back up to which is USB powered, costs pence and saves heartache | 22:46 |
| hylian | ennui how much freespace is there on that drive, did gparted tell you? | 22:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | ennui, the drive would need to be formatted to NTFS or FAT to be compatible with both MAC and Linux, i think the problem right now is that it is formatted for Mac only. Good luck man (i don't own any Apple stuff, so i could easily be wrong) | 22:47 |
| jjmartin_ | Jordan_U, correct | 22:47 |
| shauno | Stavros: compiling to install locally? or trying to build packages | 22:47 |
| Jordan_U | jjmartin_: You almost never want to install grub to a partition, just install to the mbr of your boot drive, which is probably what is currently selected. | 22:47 |
| ashley85 | my network card has stoped working and i cant get it to enable its self | 22:47 |
| ActionParsnip | jjmartin_: because its coded to install to the same disk you installed ubuntu to by default, the alternate ISO lets you choose the disk as you wish | 22:47 |
| ennui | hylian: gparted doesn't say but my file browser shows over 14G free | 22:47 |
| peripher4l | Dr_WIllis: I'm in Fedora right now, but it's not too efficient, and many things, like wlan, don't work (I do have an ethernet cable for now, though...) | 22:47 |
| peripher4l | ActionParsnip: I know, but how much of 320GB can you fit on a flash drive? | 22:47 |
| Stavros | shauno: well, i'm compiling to install and then using checkinstall to build a package | 22:48 |
| Tazzypillar | Does anyone know how to improve an macbooks intel core 2 duo's performance on ubuntu | 22:48 |
| jjmartin_ | hmmm | 22:48 |
| ennui | ZykoticK9: I have a second external that is the same format, and originally used with a mac and I have RW permissions working on that one so I don't think that is the case | 22:48 |
| ZykoticK9 | peripher4l, not to be rude, but if you are using Fedora what are you doing here? | 22:48 |
| peripher4l | ActionParsnip: Even a full size drive won't fit everything, besides: he's not a computer 'tinkerer' like me, he doesn't know the consequencees... | 22:48 |
| AndyGraybeal | is there any reason not to have a RAID10 array with LVM and ext4 filesystem on top? | 22:49 |
| peripher4l | ZykoticK9: I can only boot from Fedora, but i'm having trouble with Ubuntu (both on flash drives...) | 22:49 |
| Jordan_U | AndyGraybeal: Just avoid FakeRAID. | 22:49 |
| AndyGraybeal | Jordan_U: thank you for mentioning that, i am using softwareraid. | 22:49 |
| Tazzypillar | No one? :( | 22:50 |
| zack1 | whenever I try to run sudo fsck /dev/sda5 on this unmounted volume i get the following error: "fsck: fsck.lvm2pv: not found fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.lvm2pv for /dev/sda5" | 22:50 |
| AndyGraybeal | Jordan_U: do you have RAID10 setup with LVM and ext4? | 22:50 |
| shauno | Stavros: not familiar with that route. I'd usually use debuild and let debian/rules take care of prefixes | 22:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | peripher4l, I'll guess a Plymouth problem ;) Sorry man, just checkin' - you're perfectly entitled to be here - so long as you're working on booting Ubuntu ;) | 22:50 |
| hylian | ennui the only thing i could suggest at this moment is to make a second partition with the free space, if it lets you without formatting, and then run something to try and recover those files. under the ubuntu software center there is a lot of file recovery tools, ofcoarse you wheren't certain of the type of format you had, so that might be tricky. | 22:50 |
| Tazzypillar | Wait | 22:50 |
| Stavros | shauno: oh, i don't know what that is, do you have some more info? | 22:50 |
| Tazzypillar | Wuts his problem? | 22:51 |
| Jordan_U | AndyGraybeal: No, But I have one machine with ext4 over RAID 1+0 and another with ext4 over LVM :) | 22:51 |
| Tazzypillar | i dont suppose hes booting into low graphics mode? | 22:51 |
| zack1 | I using a live cd and cant get FSCK to work. Whenever I try to run sudo fsck /dev/sda5 on this unmounted volume i get the following error: "fsck: fsck.lvm2pv: not found fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.lvm2pv for /dev/sda5" | 22:51 |
| shauno | Stavros: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide oodles of info | 22:51 |
| Tazzypillar | peripher4l: is your problem that you're booting into low graphics mode? :x | 22:51 |
| ActionParsnip | peripher4l: if his data is important to him, he should have a backup. The drive motor could fail and then no amount of software will retrieve the data and yu wil be shelling out THOUSANDS of dollars for professional (and non-garunteed) data retieval rather than a couple HUNDRED on a chep USB drive | 22:51 |
| dragondon | greetings all! | 22:51 |
| AndyGraybeal | thank you Jordan_U | 22:51 |
| hylian | ennui i have read good things about testdisk, but i have never had the need/misfortune to have to try it out, im afraid thats the best i can do... | 22:51 |
| Jordan_U | AndyGraybeal: You're welcome. | 22:52 |
| sjm | pinkbunny, still looking for easy instructions based on what you posted | 22:52 |
| hylian | can anyone suggest a good file recovery tool for ubuntu? | 22:52 |
| dragondon | hylian: dd? | 22:52 |
| Stavros | shauno: thank you | 22:52 |
| peripher4l | ActionParsnip: I realize that... but at least it's only a couple of music files... I hope it doesn't cause too much trouble.. | 22:52 |
| ennui | hylian: I need to save up for another drive so I can transfer the data from this one and reformat | 22:52 |
| AndyGraybeal | Jordan_U: do you use GPT or MBR? | 22:52 |
| ActionParsnip | zack1: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-968222.html | 22:53 |
| Jordan_U | AndyGraybeal: GPT | 22:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | hylian, your testdisk/photorec suggestion is a good one | 22:53 |
| AndyGraybeal | Jordan_U: thank you. | 22:53 |
| Jordan_U | AndyGraybeal: You're welcome. | 22:53 |
| peripher4l | Tazzypillar: I haven't selected any special boot options... And what does it have to do with the drive? | 22:53 |
| ActionParsnip | peripher4l: i'd warn him as a precaution. You also get a fre "I told you so card" for when it does die :D | 22:53 |
| peripher4l | ActionParsnip: Hehe... I think it has died... D: | 22:53 |
| hylian | thanks guys, looks like testdisk is a good choice. sorry i couldnt help more ennui. | 22:53 |
| Tazzypillar | oh, no, it doesnt. I just heard plymouth error and thought you might be having the same problem as i was | 22:53 |
| Tazzypillar | apparently not though | 22:54 |
| ActionParsnip | peripher4l: then you can play your card when ready (if you wish) | 22:54 |
| peripher4l | Dr_Willis: Isn't there another fix (grub option, kernel command, something?) to ignore any hard drives? | 22:54 |
| shauno | ennui: sorry, I lost track; have you managed to get the disk to mount at all? as root-only, or as read-only ? | 22:54 |
| hylian | ennui i would run testdisk as is first, just to see what it can do for you, if nothing else, maybe it can give you some information. | 22:54 |
| peripher4l | ActionParsnip: True... | 22:54 |
| uhantu | helo | 22:54 |
| dragondon | can someone help with my firewall issues. First, it doesn't seem to autostart, which bothers me. there's more but will do the other stuff later... | 22:54 |
| uhantu | anyone expert could help me | 22:55 |
| Jordan_U | !anyone | uhantu | 22:55 |
| hylian | uhantu can you be way more specific? | 22:55 |
| ubottu | uhantu: 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? | 22:55 |
| karlo | hi... is there any web site where is the list of terminal "add ons" (I do not know what is name of that xD).... like jp2a, lynx, figlet..... | 22:55 |

| hylian | uhantu just tell us the problem first | 22:55 |
| online | just click rec box | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | dragondon: iptables starts at bootup in a default system and is your firewall | 22:55 |
| uhantu | i got unallocated drive for my hdisk | 22:56 |
| dragondon | ActionParsnip: then why is it that after everyreboot I see an inactive status until I 'sudo ufw enable'? | 22:56 |
| ActionParsnip | peripher4l: you may be able to use the ultimate boot cd. It may take a while to run but there may be some data recovery tools on there | 22:56 |
| Tazzypillar | um, is there any way to like improve my cpu performance in ubuntu? | 22:56 |
| uhantu | please pm me | 22:56 |
| Tazzypillar | like better drivers or something | 22:56 |
| dragondon | ummm....confusing iptables and ufw? two different things? | 22:57 |
| karlo | hi... is there any web site where is the list of terminal "add ons" (I do not know what is name of that xD).... like jp2a, lynx, figlet..... | 22:57 |
| ActionParsnip | dragondon: weird, then add: ufw enable in /etc/rc.local and it will run | 22:57 |
| ChogyDan | Tazzypillar: why kind o cpu? | 22:57 |
| hylian | uhantu unallocated simply means that you havent formatted or partitioned it yet. is that what you mean? | 22:57 |
| zack1 | ActionParsnip: i installed lvm2, but i dont know how that solved anything. the link you sent me to mentioned system-config-lvm but that isnt a package | 22:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | !repeat | karlo | 22:57 |
| ubottu | karlo: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 22:57 |
| peripher4l | ActionParsnip: I know about the ubcd, unfortunately, i do not currently have any cds or ubcd, so i cannot do that. Thanks anyways! | 22:57 |
| Tazzypillar | well, I run an Intel Core 2 duo | 22:57 |
| shauno | Tazzypillar, if it's a mobile (eg, laptop/netbook/etc), you probably want to read into the power-saving / cpu-scaling options available. it may be running in a lower-power mode and not giving you it's full potential | 22:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | karlo, you might want to search Ubuntu Software Center for console and/or ncurse for terminal software | 22:58 |
| Tazzypillar | ah | 22:58 |
| Tazzypillar | how do i adjust that? ;x | 22:58 |
| karlo | ok | 22:58 |
| Tazzypillar | I'm running on a macbook | 22:58 |
| ActionParsnip | peripher4l: usb boot one then :) | 22:58 |
| Tazzypillar | Late 2008 macbook | 22:58 |
| uhantu | yeah.. but i've already installs ubuntu and win xp | 22:58 |
| ChogyDan | Tazzypillar: ck patchset improves things for me. Also the cpu/power saving scaling options give me a boot. I use conservative, but it always is changin | 22:58 |
| shauno | Tazzypillar: no idea, I run ubuntu on servers, not laptops. I just suggest it as a possible starting point for searches :) | 22:58 |
| ActionParsnip | zack1: i have no knowledge of lvm so doubt it was me | 22:58 |
| uhantu | initially win xp | 22:58 |
| uhantu | then ubuntu | 22:58 |
| peripher4l | ActionParsnip: Is that possible? | 22:59 |
| dragondon | ActionParsnip: thanks | 22:59 |
| chadi | I pre-loaded ubuntu on a USB flash drive, then tried to boot from it, but the screen went black - not a black color, it's as if the screen was turned off -- I tried another USB port, another USB loader (UNetBootin), all failed. Would a CD work? | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | peripher4l: sure, you can put any bootable ISO on a usb stick / SD card / CF card / whatever | 22:59 |
| devin | chadi the same thing happened to me and the CD worked | 22:59 |
| Tazzypillar | Ah, alright shauno, thanks~ ChogyDan, can you tell me more about those settings? I really don't know anything about power saving options and stuff | 22:59 |
| uhantu | i wish to recover my win xp | 22:59 |
| ChogyDan | Tazzypillar: right click on panel, Add to panel..., CPU frequency scaling monitor, do that twice. Set both to conservative | 22:59 |
| Tazzypillar | and my main interest is pushing my performance so that i can play my wine games well | 22:59 |
| hylian | uhantu, what are you trying to do, is there an error you are trying to fix? or are you trying to use all of your hard drive? | 22:59 |
| chadi | devin: any idea what is wrong with teh USB? | 22:59 |
| peripher4l | ActionParsnip: Oic... How? any softwarez? | 23:00 |
| uhantu | i would like to fix | 23:00 |
| ChogyDan | Tazzypillar: or rather, enough times for each core | 23:00 |
| dragondon | so, for my next 'failed trick', my iptables has a LOT of rules and I am not sure where they are coming from. I have deleted them and they reappear. If it helps, I am running Transmission for torrent files. http://paste.ubuntu.com/469556/ | 23:00 |
| hylian | uhantu you would like to fix what? | 23:00 |
| uhantu | i still can see my docement in harddrive | 23:00 |
| devin | chadi my friend said it was probably due to my bios not wanting to boot from usb devices but he wasn't sure | 23:00 |
| uhantu | my hardisk | 23:00 |
| dustin | you can put any bootable ISO on a usb stick / SD card? | 23:00 |
| ChogyDan | Tazzypillar: I wouldn't try too hard for gaming, just use windows | 23:00 |
| hylian | !es | uhantu | 23:00 |
| ubottu | uhantu: 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. | 23:00 |
| ZykoticK9 | uhantu, if "unallocated drive" is a windows error try asking in ##windows | 23:00 |
| uhantu | english please | 23:01 |
| hylian | oops | 23:01 |
| ActionParsnip | peripher4l: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/install-and-boot-ultimate-boot-cd-ubcd-from-a-usb-device/ | 23:01 |
| uhantu | actually i try find way in ubuntu | 23:01 |
| Tazzypillar | Chogy: I would, but I don't have a copy and even if I did i cant really see myself booting into windows just to game something | 23:01 |
| sjm | PinkBunny, you need to install the rt2870sta module, but I'm having a little trouble finding an easy instruction place to install it. It doesn't look like it is in the repositories. | 23:01 |
| hylian | uhantu what is sayig that the drive is unallocated? ubuntu, windows? | 23:01 |
| uhantu | since i descover unallocated in gparted | 23:01 |
| chadi | devin: but the BIOS booted fine from the USB until the failure | 23:01 |
| peripher4l | ActionParsnip: Cool Thanks! | 23:02 |
| ActionParsnip | zack1: add an ampersand to the end of the line too! or the boot will hang | 23:02 |
| Tazzypillar | Thanks anyhow though, I'll try this :x | 23:02 |
| hylian | uhantu, thank you. ok. how much is unallocated?> | 23:02 |
| uhantu | all of the disk | 23:02 |
| sjm | PinkBunny, then you need to blacklist the current drivers (rt2800usb,rt2x00usb,rt2x00lib) | 23:02 |
| devin | chadi yeah i was able to boot ubuntu 9.10 from the usb but not 10.04, so that's why i'm not at all sure it was the bios | 23:02 |
| hylian | uhantu do you have a second disk? a storage disk? | 23:02 |
| sjm | PinkBunny, and things should work. | 23:02 |
| uhantu | i can boot to win xp.. but end at blue scree death | 23:03 |
| devin | chadi what hardware do you have? | 23:03 |
| uhantu | i just have pendrice | 23:03 |
| hylian | uhantu do you have 2 hard drives? | 23:03 |
| uhantu | i just have pendrive | 23:03 |
| chadi | devin: well, it's not me .. it's a friend with a new toshiba laptop | 23:03 |
| uhantu | 2gb pendrive | 23:03 |
| sweetpi | devin: sorry about last night. my net went out. did you get it fixed? | 23:03 |
| sjm | anyone here know if the rt2870sta driver is packaged in an ubuntu deb in the repositories (or know of a quick way to find out?) | 23:03 |
| PinkBunny | sjm, OK, If a vet like you can't find the driver, what chance do i have lol | 23:04 |
| hylian | uhantu so the pendrive is unallocated? | 23:04 |
| devin | sweetpi yeah i ended up going into the mac side and changing the permissions there | 23:04 |
| dustin | toshiba laptop | 23:04 |
| dustin | ?? | 23:04 |
| uhantu | the pendrive is ok | 23:04 |
| uhantu | but my hardrive is not ok | 23:04 |
| sjm | PinkBunny, I can't remember if I loaded it from a repo or downloaded it directly. but I did get it installed. | 23:04 |
| devin | chadi then probably your problem is different from mine and you should ask again from other people, sorry | 23:04 |
| hylian | uhantu so do you have ubuntu installed to the hard drive? | 23:04 |
| sjm | and my dongle is working fine. | 23:04 |
| uhantu | i try to fix my hardrive | 23:04 |
| sjm | PinkBunny, but that dongle is on the home desktop computer. | 23:05 |
| Alaric` | I have a networking problem on a Thinkpad R50 running Ubuntu 10.04. Several days after I installed it, Ubuntu apparently Just Decided, on its own, to disable networking for all users, and I can't find any way to re-enable it. But if I su to root and manually bring up the interface with ifconfig, it works perfectly. Can anyone tell me why Ubuntu is disabling networking on this laptop, and more | 23:05 |
| Alaric` | importantly, how I can tell it to STOP disabling it? | 23:05 |
| uhantu | currently i use live cd | 23:05 |
| dustin | i had one, but the brand is set the the high end stuff is worth it,anything else is a pain, still possible | 23:05 |

| erUSUL | CkhiKuzad: it has everything for the full install in the iso | 23:09 |
| Alaric` | anyone have any input on that networking problem? Why would Ubuntu just flat-out disable networking on a perfectly functional interface for no apparnet reason? | 23:09 |

| ZykoticK9 | Alaric`, kenel update broke your nic? one suggestion. | 23:10 |
| hylian | uhantu maybe it can. you get blue screen of death, hmm. have the original windows cd? or a backup on your hard disks? | 23:10 |
| CkhiKuzad | AndyGraybeal, i think its parted | 23:10 |
| dezine | nvm, gnome-control-center seems to be what I wanted, thanks | 23:10 |

| CkhiKuzad | AndyGraybeal, i dont know then | 23:11 |
| Hotzenplotzz | hi@all | 23:11 |
| Alaric` | but NetworkManager won't allow anyone to connect to anything. | 23:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | Alaric`, then my example explanation doesn't fit ;) | 23:11 |
| hylian | uhantu actually thats not that hard. first you need to install windows, then if the other od is ubuntu, it can do that for you automatically, making 2 partitions. | 23:11 |
| ActionParsnip | AndyGraybeal: try wicd then, it can use any interface name you like | 23:11 |

| PinkBunny | sjm, I got the driver, but the instructions on how to install it are baffling. | 23:13 |
| devin | system -> preferences -> sound just gives me "Waiting for sound system to respond," is this because i got rid of pulseaudio? | 23:13 |
| dustin | alaric, because laptops and netbook, are very ify, pluh it into lan and update it (sytem first, hardware drivers and whatever else),in every possible way,its what i had to do | 23:13 |

| uhantu | previously i am using two OS and have no problem with dualboot | 23:13 |
| === user is now known as M1TE5H | ||
| ZykoticK9 | uhantu, it's not a matter of "recover" you need to format the unallocated space into whatever filesystem type you want OR resize one of you existing partitions to use the space. | 23:13 |

| thune3 | Alaric`: it might help to see your (in pastebin) /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf /etc/network/interfaces | 23:14 |
| erUSUL | DarkNemesis: is p7zip-full sorry | 23:14 |
| uhantu | does it no choice to me to get back my window without format | 23:14 |
| hylian | uhnatu sometimes if you access a ntfs partition with ubuntu, and then goto windows it has a problem. not certain why. this can sometimes be fixed by unmounting the drive before quitting ubuntu. that might help... | 23:14 |
| sjm | PinkBunny, just a minute, that is one that you will need to compile and recompile each time the kernel updates through aptitude. | 23:14 |
| PinkBunny | brummbaer, ????? | 23:14 |
| PinkBunny | sjm, so don't use | 23:14 |
| brummbaer | PinkBunny: linux-sta? the wireless broadcom driver? | 23:15 |
| erUSUL | brummbaer: no; ralink chip | 23:15 |
| dustin | anyone that has a laptop or netbook, plug it into lan/do every possible update manually | 23:15 |

| PinkBunny | I got a tp-link model TL-WN727N | 23:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | sjm, install dkms and it "should" autocompile any ubuntu kernel requirements, not sure what program/driver you are referring too though. Good luck. | 23:16 |
| kernelzilla | greetings, I was wondering if there was any way around the 10.04 installer issue with MCP67 RAID? Partitioning fails because it's missing a 'p' in the partition name (ie /dev/mapper/nvidiabbsbsb1 instead of /dev/mapper/nvidiabsbsbp1) | 23:16 |
| ActionParsnip | uhantu: boot to your windows install cd and you can reinstate the windows boot loader | 23:16 |
| brummbaer | erUSUL, PinkBunny: ah, ok. i just had a major pain when the upgrade to 2.6.32-24 broke my broadcom, i ended up having to rever to 2.6.32-21 to get it working | 23:16 |

| hylian | uhantu one thing you can try is to go through the motions of re-installing windows, when it gets to the partitions screen, choose the one windows is already in, then it will ask if you want to try and repair that version. it will go through the motions like it's installing it for the first time. this is at best a desperate act, but can repair a damaged file, sometimes saving the machine from having to be formatted and reinstalled, or are you tryi | 23:26 |
| hylian | ng to make a partition to backup your data using ubuntu? | 23:26 |
| sjm | PinkBunny, sorry, I can't remember right now. The steps are getting the rt2870sta driver, blacklisting the other drivers that conflict, and then loading unloading the drivers (or rebooting), but I can't remember where I got the rt2870sta driver from. | 23:27 |

| ActionParsnip | shiftingcontrol: can you use: http://pastie.org to give the output of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get install vlc | 23:36 |

| Alaric` | thune3, no joy with that ... I think I'm just going to rip out network-manager and let dhcpcd and wpa-supplicant handle it. | 23:37 |
| thune3 | Alaric: you would have to restart networking and NM (or reboot) for those changes to take effect. | 23:37 |
| andre | I should write sudo apt- get OOO320_m18_native_packed-1_pt-BR.9502 ? | 23:38 |
| shiftingcontrol | http://pastie.org/1061262,output of sudo apt-get install vlc | 23:39 |
| w0_ | when I hit ctrl-alt-L to lock the screen, the menus wiggles left and right if I enter the wrong pw. can I turn this off? | 23:39 |
| thune3 | Alaric`: and i did mean /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf for the second file mods (very sorry) | 23:39 |
| Alaric` | thune3, I restarted NM but not networking ... lemme try that | 23:40 |
| ActionParsnip | shiftingcontrol: yikes thats a lot of deps | 23:40 |
| andre | Should I to write sudo apt-get OOO320_m18_native_packed-1_pt-BR.9502 ? to install office br in terminal | 23:40 |
| shiftingcontrol | ActionParnsip:see at the end you will find the error right? | 23:41 |
| ActionParsnip | shiftingcontrol: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/575400 | 23:41 |
| Glowball | Does anybody know if the high load average bug is gone from 10.04? Can't really find a lot on Google (except that I'm not the only one with that problem), and I'd like to update to Lucid again. | 23:41 |
| ActionParsnip | shiftingcontrol: have you installed the server release? | 23:42 |
| andre | Should I write sudo apt- get OOO320_m18_native_packed-1_pt-BR.9502 ? | 23:42 |
| shiftingcontrol | ActionParnsip:nope its desktop only | 23:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | Glowball, wasn't that related to opensource video drivers, a LONG time ago? | 23:42 |
| ActionParsnip | shiftingcontrol: then your system is REALLY screwed, most of the deps are part of a default install of the desktop | 23:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | shiftingcontrol, out of curiosity what is your output of "lsb_release -a" | 23:43 |
| shiftingcontrol | ActionParnsip:my 10.04 literally made me feel worse,it hangs , | 23:43 |
| Glowball | ZykoticK9: I always used the nvidia proprietary drivers, so I doubt it. And "a LONG time ago".. I used Lucid till after my exams, so.. end of June? | 23:43 |
| hylian | that seems to be an error when going from ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04, especially when going from the server distro to desktop, or vice versa | 23:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | Glowball, must be a different bug, sorry no idea. | 23:44 |
| Glowball | ZykoticK9: I'm back to Karmic, but after tasting Lucid, it really feels like I'm missing out a lot :( | 23:45 |
| shiftingcontrol | Zykotick9:http://pastie.org/1061272 | 23:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | shiftingcontrol, ok | 23:45 |
| hylian | ohh, as for my link to problem, not only did a lot of people agree with me, but they plan to make it so it doesnt add the link to situation in the next release of nautilus, although according to a bug i read, this was an ubuntu specific situation... | 23:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | Glowball, i couldn't wait to drop Karmic, so I started using Lucid as my main desktop OS during Alpha 2. Sorry to hear about your Lucid troubles. | 23:46 |
| shiftingcontrol | in ma ubuntu studio if i give ping fb.me ,i get unknown host,whereas in lucid the net gets connected | 23:47 |
| Dr_Willis | hylian: so whats it supposed to do ? ask for a new name? | 23:47 |
| Glowball | ZykoticK9: What's your load average atm? | 23:47 |
| hylian | Dr_Willis no usually a different extension. as to how they are gonna do it, they didnt say, but it diod say that earlier versions of ubuntu had actually already had it set up that way. i think it handles it like a application launcher... | 23:48 |
| ZykoticK9 | Glowball, right now 0.27, 0.33, 0.37 | 23:48 |
| Glowball | Meh. | 23:48 |
| Glowball | Mine was 1+, on fresh boot after fresh install, without any apps open | 23:49 |
| remote | how can i install google chrome? | 23:49 |
| ActionParsnip | !info google-chrome | 23:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | remote, www.google.com/chrome but Chromium gets the newer features ;) | 23:50 |
| ubottu | Package google-chrome does not exist in lucid | 23:50 |
| Glowball | remote: Google for Google Chrome and look for the download page - There's a deb for Ubuntu | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | !info chromium-browser | remote | 23:50 |
| ubottu | remote: chromium-browser (source: chromium-browser): Chromium browser. In component universe, is optional. Version 5.0.375.99~r51029-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 (lucid), package size 11557 kB, installed size 38420 kB | 23:50 |
| remote | what's a deb? | 23:50 |
| soreau | ! deb | 23:50 |
| ubottu | deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | remote: or you can add the google ppa and install google-chrome (closed source) from there | 23:50 |
| remote | so i just double click? | 23:50 |
| remote | what's google ppa? | 23:50 |
| soreau | ! ppa | 23:50 |
| ubottu | A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and should be used at your own risk. | 23:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | ActionParsnip, actually install the google-chrome DEB will install the PPA at the same time. remote | 23:50 |
| hylian | i thought chromium wasn't available currently for linux | 23:51 |
| ActionParsnip | ZykoticK9: nice | 23:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | hylian, oh it's available! | 23:51 |
| ActionParsnip | remote: http://www.linuxscrew.com/2010/05/08/install-google-chrome-chromium-ubuntu-lucid-lynx/ | 23:51 |
| remote | thanks!' | 23:51 |
| soreau | ZykoticK9: What if the dep was in the ppa? heh | 23:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | soreau, i hope Google could figure those things out ;) | 23:52 |
| hylian | since it's slow, anyone ever see duck duck go? http://duckduckgo.com/ | 23:52 |
| soreau | ZykoticK9: Oh the tangled circular dependencies we weave ;) | 23:53 |

| nm5tf | anyone know how to make the MAUSB-10 work under Lucid, or any *nix for that matter-everyone says it is supported, but it won't mount as it says "no media inserted" | 23:53 |
| ActionParsnip | remote: you can get the daily build by using the chromium ppa | 23:54 |
| ActionParsnip | nm5tf: what's a MAUSB-10 ? | 23:55 |
| nm5tf | Olympus SM card reader | 23:55 |
| ActionParsnip | nm5tf: please use full details, we can't possibly know every card reader... | 23:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | ActionParsnip, Olympus camera (i had to google) - oops, "Olympus card reader" (i didn't google well) | 23:55 |
| ActionParsnip | ZykoticK9: just makes the whole process smoother | 23:57 |
| hylian | the MAUSB-10 is supposedly supported, ubuntu even has a driver for it, but heck if i can find anything. even my hp built in card reader works with 10.04, sorry man. | 23:57 |

| nm5tf | hylian: correct it is supposed to be supported by ALAUDA, but it hs never worked under any *nix--it does work under WIN XP, so I know the reader is working | 23:58 |
| be | why is that our twinkle is not working | 23:59 |
| ActionParsnip | hylian: boto without the device attatched, then log in and get teh system settled. Then plug in the reader, wait 10 seconds and then run: dmesg | tail -n 20 please use http://pastie.org to give output | 23:59 |
