| beginer | hello everybody, ive been around in the past days because of a nvidia driver problem of screen black flashes (flickering) on a dell inspiron 9400 with nvidia video card 7900GS and with proprietary driver version 195.36.24 | 00:08 |
| coldzero13 | who is the best here | 00:09 |
| beginer | i have figured out that this happens everytime my performance level is changing from a level to another (looking at the X server settings) | 00:09 |
| bastid_raZor | coldzero13: you are. | 00:09 |
| KE1HA | shiftingcontrol, pass, this is not my area of expertise. | 00:09 |
| shiftingcontrol | ok,thank yu | 00:10 |
| Conzeit | urock, network manager? is that network connections under system/preferences? | 00:10 |
| uRock | Conzeit, Yes it is. | 00:10 |
| uRock | LLCooLJ, Mama said knock you out! | 00:11 |
| uRock | sorry, couldn't resist | 00:11 |
| beginer | does anyone know how to make those flashes stop ? | 00:12 |
| capleton | How do I restart X server? | 00:13 |
| bastid_raZor | capleton: log out then back in or in a terminal type: sudo sevice gdm restart | 00:13 |
| capleton | what if i don't have gdm? | 00:13 |
| bastid_raZor | capleton: kdm | 00:13 |
| capleton | >_> compiz standalone | 00:14 |
| KE1HA | capleton, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 00:14 |
| KE1HA | or log out, and back in should do it as well. | 00:14 |
| capleton | how do i log out of x without gdm or kdm or the xfce equivalent? should i change virtual terminals and pkill x? i feel like that would leave orphaned processes | 00:15 |
| Takeasy | i have a question | 00:15 |
| * capleton kicks himself for using an immature desktop environment | 00:15 | |
| KE1HA | basically, drop to a console, then sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop .. then sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start | 00:15 |
| Takeasy | my desktop hasn't got any icon, and i can't right click on desktop, how to fix it? | 00:16 |
| capleton | KE1GA, like i said, I don't have KDE or Gnome, so I don't have kdm or gdm | 00:16 |

| AldeBaran | xXBoondocXx: awk is really powerful... grep... perl | 00:46 |
| travis_ | ill try that | 00:46 |
| clcto | travis_: try to log in there and see if you can | 00:46 |
| ps2pdf | a1: in terminal, to reset the default highest resolution for your video card, you can sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 00:46 |
| xXBoondocXx | well i want to make youtube videos and play games and someday make my own kind of live chat server and make a few music beats | 00:46 |
| clcto | f1=f6 are all consoles (tty) | 00:46 |
| ps2pdf | a1: you will have to restart to see if it works | 00:46 |
| xXBoondocXx | what programs do you recommend | 00:46 |
| daniel_san | @hendaus: http://www.fs-driver.org/ | 00:46 |
| Scunizi | Is there a run level gui editor? | 00:47 |
| hendaus | hylian, are u still with me? | 00:47 |
| tuliohm | Hi, there is any way to move windows between desktops with the mouse and without compiz? | 00:47 |
| hylian | hendaus, to be honest, theirs no way i know of conventionally. the only way i know of requires ubuntu to do the transfers. you would need a ext 3 or 4 reader of some sort, which windows doesnt have. hmm. maybe there is one, but i haven't seen one. one option is to take a small part of your hard drive and make a fat32 partition, them put in their what you would like to transfer, but that still doesnt give you full access. | 00:47 |
| Hilikus | xXBoondocXx: video editing and audio editing. for audio editing i use audacity, but i'm no pro | 00:47 |
| ps2pdf | hylian: there are ext3 readers and writers for windows available | 00:47 |
| Hilikus | xXBoondocXx: i remember an opensource program similar to fruity loops | 00:47 |
| hylian | ps2pdf can you tell hendaus where they are available? | 00:48 |
| daniel_san | milkytracker? | 00:48 |
| xXBoondocXx | i am useing LMMS right now its alot like FL | 00:48 |
| xXBoondocXx | so i have that already | 00:48 |
| ps2pdf | hylian: my link was above | 00:48 |
| * AldeBaran may be showing his age but FutureCrew made a nice looper.. | 00:48 | |
| Hilikus | xXBoondocXx: go in Applicaiton/ubuntu software centre | 00:48 |
| AldeBaran | did it ever work on Linux? Natively? | 00:48 |
| ps2pdf | hendaus: http://www.howtoforge.com/access-linux-partitions-from-windows | 00:48 |

| hendaus | ps2pdf, can u plz tell me what to do, coz i am newbie on this | 00:49 |
| ps2pdf | a2: you have to have ext2 or ext3, not ext4 | 00:49 |
| xXBoondocXx | what program do you recommend me getting if i want to make my own Live chat server?? | 00:49 |
| ps2pdf | hendaus: all you have to do is install one of those programs in windows and restart into windows | 00:49 |
| ps2pdf | hendaus: they should appear as a new drive letter | 00:49 |
| pcw | Does any1 know why irqbalance is not started up on boot? | 00:49 |
| * AldeBaran asks again - does anyone know where one can get hold of a free VPS server? | 00:50 | |
| woodyjlw | I have a laptop "hp special edition L2000" with amd Turion64. will ubuntu 10.04 lts 64 bit run ok on this machine? with 2 x 512. I think it shares 128 with 200m ati on board video | 00:50 |

| lucas-arg | hello, im habing problems with gnome-power-manager, when i unplug my laptop from cable it doesnt run power-management.... i uninstalled gnome-power-manager, is there any other alternative? | 00:51 |
| ny_ | hallo there i need help .... | 00:51 |
| ps2pdf | !ask | ny_ | 00:52 |
| ubottu | ny_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 00:52 |
| ny_ | my Totem Movie Player cant play the youtube clips way | 00:52 |
| tensorpudding | how do i restart policykit? | 00:52 |
| travis_ | ok i tried, and i logged in but i couldnt get back to the desktop | 00:52 |
| ps2pdf | tensorpudding: did you try in terminal sudo service policykit restart ? | 00:52 |
| hylian | beginer i was thinking about your problem. this might not solve anything, but unless that's a laptop, you might want to consider setting ubuntu to not do any power saving. (system-preferences-power management) | 00:52 |
| travis_ | im using gnome now, ubuntu, i installed xubuntu through synaptics | 00:52 |
| lucas-arg | !battery | 00:53 |
| ny_ | every i play clip it says "Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file" how can i get the permission to that ? | 00:53 |
| ny_ | every time ^ | 00:53 |
| clcto | travis_: ok, that is good. alt+f7 didnt get you back? | 00:53 |
| tensorpudding | there is no such script | 00:53 |
| tensorpudding | there doesn't appear to be any initscripts related to policykit | 00:53 |
| ps2pdf | clcto: an update placed ctrl+alt+F1 as the default X11 (of course you need ctrl+alt+F7 to return if its there) | 00:53 |
| beginer | hylian> thing is im on a laptop (dell inspiron 9400) | 00:54 |
| travis_ | no, it kept saying some kind of errors, i remember some of it, it said device not ready and some other stuff | 00:54 |
| hylian | ny_ you will have to change the permissions. do you know your way around file structures, folder etc? | 00:54 |
| travis_ | but i can log into gnome fine, it just xfce session and xubuntu session i cant log into on login screen | 00:54 |
| ps2pdf | tensorpudding: i am running 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 and it shows here: /etc/init.d/policykit , maybe try sudo /etc/init.d/policykit restart | 00:54 |
| ny_ | no i new to the ubu linux ,,, | 00:54 |
| EnigmaticCoder | Is there a way to synchronize the installed programs on a desktop and laptop. By synchronize I mean ensure that the same programs are installed on both machines | 00:54 |
| tensorpudding | That file doesn't exist, and I'm using the same version of Ubuntu exactly | 00:55 |
| hylian | beginer well if anything trying that might be atleast a diagnostic tool. sorry i wasnt more helpfull | 00:55 |
| ps2pdf | tensorpudding: try this in terminal: sudo find / -name policykit | 00:55 |
| p_masho | ps2pdf: ta.. bit silly to move buttons a round.. | 00:55 |
| ny_ | plz just pass me command =) | 00:55 |
| KE1HA | p_masho, Ubuntu Tweek, lots of neat things it can do. | 00:55 |
| tensorpudding | (i hate system v init) | 00:55 |
| ps2pdf | p_masho: i agree, please add that suggestion here: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com | 00:55 |
| KE1HA | opps Ubuntu Tweak, not Tweek | 00:56 |
| clcto | ps2pdf: oh, my bad | 00:56 |
| hylian | ny_ chmod a+x (file name or folder name) like this: chmod a+x /home/user/Music/ | 00:56 |
| tensorpudding | I suppose somehow I could have uninstalled policykit? I'm not sure how that could happen. | 00:56 |
| hendaus | hylian, this Ext2Read can be installed on ubuntu or windows xp? | 00:56 |
| beginer | hylian> its ok, anyway my battery's dead so im on AC all the time (it should work properly then, isn't it?) | 00:56 |
| tensorpudding | I know for certain it was running. | 00:56 |
| pradeep | hylian, wats up am back | 00:56 |
| pradeep | i have a work around now | 00:56 |
| ny_ | hylian plz righ to me privet | 00:57 |
| hylian | hendaus thats a windows xp vista 7 app | 00:57 |
| ps2pdf | tensorpudding: you can apt-cache search policykit to check the repos for it | 00:57 |
| hendaus | ps2pdf, Ext2Read is this the program to download? on windows xp or ubuntu? | 00:57 |
| hylian | pradeep did that work? | 00:57 |
| ny_ | still don't understand | 00:57 |
| tensorpudding | No, it's definitely installed. | 00:57 |
| travis_ | clcto: so will i have to uninstall xubuntu through dynaptic, then reinstall? | 00:57 |
| ps2pdf | hendaus: it would be easiest to do everything in windows, but possible to do in ubuntu | 00:57 |
| EnigmaticCoder | Is there a way to synchronize the installed programs on a desktop and laptop. By synchronize I mean ensure that the same programs are installed on both machines | 00:57 |
| travis_ | synaptic i mean | 00:57 |
| pradeep | hylian, yea it did very well | 00:57 |
| tensorpudding | I'm new to Gnome but not to Debian | 00:57 |
| KE1HA | Things to Do After 10.04 Install: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/04/10-things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu.html | 00:57 |
| hylian | beginer thats true, if your always ac, then no power handling is no big deal, but walking away for half an hour at a cafe can really suck the juice | 00:57 |
| ps2pdf | hendaus: you should check to ensure it is NOT ext4 first though before proceeding | 00:57 |
| KE1HA | It has the Button Move / Fix | 00:58 |
| epinky | EnigmaticCoder: huh? use Veritas :) | 00:58 |
| tensorpudding | I'll try dpkg-reconfigure | 00:58 |
| EnigmaticCoder | epinky: thanks | 00:58 |
| ps2pdf | KE1HA: can you add some of those top 10 to brainstorm.ubuntu.com ? | 00:58 |
| ny_ | do u wan't me to look for i folder name chmod a+x are make the hapen .... ?? | 00:58 |
| hylian | pradeep i actually edit the menu item for virtualbox and added the gksu in the front, since i always need usb support to run my windows only scanner | 00:59 |
| hendaus | ps2pdf, so i am at ubuntu right now,so i cant do anything here,just restart to windows xp and install Ext2Read? | 00:59 |
| joshua__ | this is fun | 00:59 |
| joshua__ | i love you guys | 00:59 |
| clcto | travis_: you shouldn't have to, but idk | 00:59 |
| KE1HA | There's severalk Sites with Great Tips. Ii've never been on brainstorm.ubuntu.com | 00:59 |
| ps2pdf | hendaus: yes, but ensure your ubuntu is not on ext4 partition | 00:59 |
| travis_ | ok | 00:59 |
| tensorpudding | what is this policykit-1 | 00:59 |
| hendaus | ps2pdf, ensure how? tell me | 00:59 |
| ps2pdf | hendaus: do that first before reboot into windows by System -> Administration -> Disk Utilities | 00:59 |
| travis_ | it was a theme that messed everything up | 00:59 |
| travis_ | that was pre-installed | 00:59 |
| KE1HA | This one is really good, Long link though SRI fer that: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/04/10-things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu.html | 01:00 |
| pradeep | hylian, what version of vbox are you using | 01:00 |
| hylian | ny_ no, the command is chmod a+x, not the file name. chmod a+x (your folder or file that is locked here) | 01:00 |
| ps2pdf | hendaus: ensure you see no ext4, otherwise that windows program will not work | 01:00 |
| pradeep | hylian, here is what i did https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/103523 | 01:00 |
| hendaus | ps2pdf, i open disk utilty? then what? | 01:00 |
| hylian | pradeep did that actually work though? because i got no results. | 01:01 |
| === pooky_ is now known as Pooky | ||
| beginer | hylian> but its really weird i can predict the flickerings by looking at the nvidia X server setting monitor for powermizer...any time it changes level i got a black screen like a flash for not more than a wink's time | 01:01 |
| ps2pdf | hendaus: then find the "Hard Disk" on the left navigation portion of the program, and select it | 01:01 |
| pradeep | hylian, well it did for me after addin to my /etc/rc.local worked very well | 01:02 |
| AldeBaran | KE1HA: nice link | 01:02 |
| hendaus | ps2pdf, ok i select it | 01:02 |
| hylian | pradeep good to know. i guess im lazy being su all the time, but i really needed my usb devices. | 01:02 |
| tensorpudding | what is this policykit-1, what does it have to do with policykit | 01:02 |
| pradeep | hylian, yup | 01:03 |
| ps2pdf | hendaus: do you see "ext4" anywhere on that screen? or are you lost? if you see ext4, there is no reader available yet in windows to read ext4, but you can suggest ubuntu deal with this in Ubuntu 10.10 at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/25388/ | 01:03 |
| xerok29 | hi | 01:03 |
| xerok29 | friends | 01:03 |
| ps2pdf | !hi | xerok29 | 01:03 |
| ubottu | xerok29: 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! | 01:03 |
| tensorpudding | also starting policykit from its initscript does precisely nothing | 01:03 |
| hendaus | ps2pdf, yes i see 100 GB ext4 | 01:03 |
| tensorpudding | but i have something called polkitd running | 01:03 |
| mikeru | hey | 01:04 |
| ps2pdf | hendaus: then that program will not work, refer to my last URL above or here to suggest ubuntu deal with this issue better: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/25388/ | 01:04 |
| mikeru | I have some problems with video | 01:04 |
| hylian | beginer, it might be a driver thing. did you install the driver ubuntu recommended or the one from nvidia? believe it or not, im not running the most up to date driver on my nvidia 8400 gs, because a slightly older driver had a little more compatability. strange, no? | 01:04 |
| tensorpudding | something about this smells like a broken hack | 01:04 |
| hendaus | ps2pdf, i am using ubuntu 10.04lts | 01:04 |
| mikeru | I've checked in Nvidia X Server Settings Sync to VBlank for both OpenGL and Xvideo | 01:05 |
| travis_ | then i have another question, at startup, what is this: acer-wmi: Unable to detect wmid devices? | 01:05 |
| ps2pdf | hendaus: I understand you are in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, but without restructuring your partitions or converting ext4 to ext3, there is no option to read these files in Windows | 01:05 |
| mikeru | however, I can see tearing in every game | 01:05 |
| mikeru | yet they all run perfectly 60fps, from SNES to N64 and PSX | 01:05 |
| ps2pdf | hendaus: you can write your comments on this page: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/25388/ so they fix this in the future | 01:06 |
| Spreadsheet_ | I need help with an ASUS USB-N13 USB wifi adapter | 01:06 |
| manlymatt83 | I'm trying to install ubuntu on an old box with regular ATA drives. It hangs at 33% creating partitions. | 01:06 |
| mikeru | and when I use Xvideo, it is indeed Vsynced, but it looks a bit blurry | 01:06 |
| mikeru | HALP? | 01:06 |
| hendaus | ps2pdf, so there is way to do that? | 01:06 |
| manlymatt83 | Some googling showed that this is due to bad memory, bad mobo, etc. | 01:06 |
| Spreadsheet_ | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1419504 | 01:06 |
| manlymatt83 | but I've swapped everything out | 01:06 |
| Spreadsheet_ | I followed post #35 but now it doesn't work | 01:06 |
| ps2pdf | hendaus: yes, it is tedious though, there is no easy fix | 01:06 |
| Spreadsheet_ | I notice that there is no network manager thing | 01:06 |
| travis_ | anyone know what acer-wmi: unable to detect wmid devices means? | 01:07 |
| beginer | i installed the nvidia recommended driver, but my card is quite old (ive got a choice between 3 drivers to go for and 2 of them support the GForce7900GS) and i got the same pb with the 2 drivers (but at that time it didn't change my refresh rate...) | 01:07 |
| KE1HA | travis_, Acer-wmi is derived from acer_acpi, originally developed by Mark | 01:07 |
| KE1HA | Smith in 2005, then taken over by Carlos Corbacho in 2007, in order to activate | 01:07 |
| KE1HA | the wireless LAN card under a 64-bit version of Linux, as acerhk[1] (the | 01:07 |
| KE1HA | previous solution to the problem) relied on making 32 bit BIOS calls which are | 01:07 |
| KE1HA | not possible in kernel space from a 64 bit OS. | 01:07 |
| FloodBot4 | KE1HA: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:07 |
| KE1HA | Opps SRI :-) | 01:07 |
| ps2pdf | hendaus: heres an Ubuntu discussion on how to downgrade from ext4 to ext3: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1377366 | 01:07 |
| travis_ | so its not a problem, even though it takes forever to show that, then it starts booting? | 01:08 |
| beginer | hylian> i can still give it a go... | 01:08 |
| KE1HA | travis_, Well, not really, here's the whole scoop: http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/laptops/acer-wmi.txt | 01:08 |
| beginer | but id like to know where that bug comes from so i can choose the right thing to do | 01:08 |
| alberto | hola | 01:08 |
| Gloria1328 | hoola | 01:08 |
| travis_ | ok thanks | 01:09 |
| hendaus | ps2pdf, ok thanx friend, but other thing , i have vbox on ubuntu and also i have windows xp installed | 01:09 |
| === illac is now known as illac_work | ||
| hylian | beginer thats kinda what i meant if you do this and your problem is solved, well, you problem still isnt solved. i just thought it would be nice to have confirmation. | 01:09 |
| hendaus | ps2pdf, if i do this: VBoxSDL -fullscreen -vm "Windows XP Pro" <-- it looks fullscreen | 01:09 |
| tensorpudding | Logging in and out fixed the problem. | 01:10 |
| travis_ | i still dont like that it adds 30-40 seconds to boot time | 01:10 |
| tensorpudding | It's a very non-optimal fix though | 01:10 |
| travis_ | but it doesnt matter | 01:10 |
| ps2pdf | hendaus: i tried VM without success, sorry thats not my strong point, but for ext4 to ext3, here are detailed instructions http://duopetalflower.blogspot.com/2010/01/how-to-migrate-ext4-partitions-to-ext3.html | 01:10 |
| ps2pdf | tensorpudding: did you reinstall policykit? | 01:10 |
| Spreadsheet_ | hmm | 01:10 |
| tensorpudding | I didn't install anything. | 01:10 |
| tensorpudding | Just rebooting fixed it | 01:10 |
| Spreadsheet_ | I should've just used the default solution | 01:11 |
| KE1HA | travis_, Its a problem, but not a show stopper, I dont like long boot times either. | 01:11 |
| ps2pdf | tensorpudding: what does the sudo find / -name policykit show? | 01:11 |
| travis_ | ok, i still think i need it though because it says it allows me to use wireless card | 01:11 |
| tensorpudding | this reminds me of the issue i took with gnome in the past | 01:11 |
| tensorpudding | it was too complicated for me to fix it when it ultimately broke | 01:12 |
| DeM0nFiRe | Hello | 01:12 |
| travis_ | ke1ha: do you know anything about xubuntu? | 01:12 |
| KE1HA | rrr, yes you should, if it's not already logged, put in a bug report on it as they are hard after things that slow down boot times. | 01:12 |
| ps2pdf | tensorpudding: the policykit is only needed for the wireless portion if you utilize gnome-network-manager | 01:12 |
| tensorpudding | It's needed for programs that use it for authentication. | 01:12 |
| tensorpudding | Like the software center. | 01:12 |
| ps2pdf | tensorpudding: gnome apps mainly though, so wicd and using iwconfig/ifconfig will not need it | 01:13 |
| KE1HA | travis_, I play around with it, but mostly stick to UB-Server and Desktop to allow me to better understand the mainstream support needs / issues. | 01:13 |
| tensorpudding | In any case, having it fail randomly after bringing the system back from suspend is egregious. | 01:13 |
| Andre_Re | someone around who wants to help me with banshee? would be really nice | 01:13 |
| travis_ | ok just wondering because i have a problem with it | 01:13 |
| tensorpudding | Speaking of egregious, when suspend fails | 01:13 |
| hendaus | ps2pdf, i have a question, can i open on ubuntu the folders of windows xp installed on vbox? | 01:13 |
| ps2pdf | !banshee | Andre_Re | 01:14 |
| ubottu | Andre_Re: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs | 01:14 |

| KE1HA | Proibably best to head for the xubuntu channel unless its common to both. | 01:14 |
| AldeBaran | 2:14am | 01:14 |
| ps2pdf | hendaus: yes, i believe they will show, all windows files should show in Ubuntu if Ubuntu is running, virtual or otherwise | 01:14 |
| AldeBaran | sleep time, I guess | 01:14 |
| Andre_Re | i don't know how i can make is convert m4a-files | 01:14 |
| travis_ | i alreadt did, but i asked and waited for over 10 minutes and nobody responded, so i tryed here | 01:14 |
| Andre_Re | it worked on another pc but i don't know which package is missing here | 01:14 |
| tensorpudding | Saying "you can work around it" is apologetics for "this software is junk and probably shouldn't have been released", but whatever | 01:15 |
| KE1HA | whats the issues, no harm in asking. | 01:15 |
| ps2pdf | Andre_Re: dir2ogg should convert m4a to ogg audio format, will that accomplish your goal? | 01:15 |
| Andre_Re | ps2pdf: nope, because i want to use some functions of banshee | 01:15 |
| hendaus | ps2pdf, ok i am at ubuntu and vbox is not running,so how can i open the files that i have save on windows xp? | 01:16 |
| Andre_Re | it can synchronize the music depending on different settings | 01:16 |
| ps2pdf | hendaus: Places -> XX GB filesystem | 01:16 |
| travis_ | i was looking through the themes that were installed with xubuntu, and i clicked on one of them, then it logged me out of xubuntu. I tryed logging in on xfce session and xubuntu session, but it showed splash screen, then returned to the login screen | 01:17 |
| hendaus | ps2pdf, not on windows booting, i mean on virtualbox | 01:17 |
| Spreadsheet_ | If you have a wifi card then you have something in the panel that allows you to see the conncetions | 01:17 |
| ps2pdf | anyone have banshee knowledge to help Andre_Re ? | 01:17 |

| marko-_- | please i need this quick | 01:17 |
| Spreadsheet_ | However I do not see a network thing in the panel | 01:17 |
| Spreadsheet_ | Is there a command to start that manually? | 01:18 |

| ChogyDan | Spreadsheet_: try running nm-applet | 01:28 |
| ps2pdf | hiexpo: sudo apt-get install <package> and to find the package, apt-cache search <package> | 01:28 |
| Spreadsheet_ | ChogyDan: thanks | 01:28 |
| EruditeOgre | Spreadsheet_: Found it. update-rc.d -f apache2 remove | 01:28 |
| Scunizi | KE1HA: yea.. I was over at #samba and although they suggested a few things basically said it's most likely a distro issue.. | 01:29 |
| Spreadsheet_ | ChogyDan: "an instance of nm-applet is already running" | 01:29 |
| h07 | Spreadsheet_: haha told you so :P | 01:29 |

| h07 | Spreadsheet_: so is all users in ubuntu | 01:29 |
| Spreadsheet_ | But it's not there | 01:29 |

| Scunizi | KE1HA: Wow... purging samba resulted in an error in the process when trying to stop the process... same error I get when trying to reinstall.. now for an install and see what happens. | 01:32 |
| ps2pdf | Spreadsheet: use iwconfig and iwlist to see if you have wireless extensions | 01:32 |

| h07 | pradeep: you need a special application for that not! ubuntu server ( its not built in ) | 01:45 |
| egaudet | i've tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 01:45 |
| FreeRunner | Anyone familiar with tunneling both incoming and outgoing traffic through a server with ubuntu on it? | 01:45 |
| Dr_Willis | egaudet: out of the box? add proepr commands to rc.local if you wanted. :) or i recall there being gdm configs to start more then 1 session. | 01:46 |
| ps2pdf | egaudet: did you try jockey-text --list to see if there are custom video drivers? | 01:46 |
| egaudet | Dr_Willis, well what I meant was startx -- :1 doesn't -just- work | 01:46 |
| Dr_Willis | egaudet: X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting. | 01:47 |
| travis__ | is there a way to make the windows easier to resize? because its very hard to grab an edge, especially in the corners | 01:47 |
| Dr_Willis | egaudet: :) i recall having to do it as root. and makign it start gdm.. or somthing befor | 01:47 |
| travis__ | and with a touchpad | 01:47 |
| ps2pdf | travis__: add that suggestion to http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com | 01:47 |
| travis__ | ok i will | 01:48 |
| a1 | anyone know how to solve unknown monitor issue on karmic? | 01:48 |
| froschi | travis__: press alt-space, then r and move the mouse/touchpad | 01:48 |
| soreau | a1: What is the issue? | 01:48 |
| ps2pdf | a1: maybe try sudo lshw and pastebin the monitor details | 01:49 |
| egaudet | no authorization or other errors, the Xorg log looks fine. It just sits there repeating "No protocol specified" after "waiting for X server to begin accepting connections" | 01:49 |
| a1 | only displaying 800x600 max but will run 1280x1024 in win7 | 01:49 |
| froschi | travis__: (maybe something other than r in non-english locales) | 01:49 |
| egaudet | alright I'll learn more about it and figure it out,thanks guys | 01:49 |
| Kemp_Family | I have never use an IRC and I am having problems with internet connections in ubuntu 10.04 | 01:49 |
| soreau | a1: What card is it according to the output of lspci|grep VGA ? | 01:49 |
| Dr_Willis | egaudet: this worked.. but started up X and gdm as the root user. :) shame shame on me,.. sudo startx -- :1 | 01:49 |
| travis__ | alt+space+r doesnt do anything | 01:49 |
| travis__ | when moving mouse | 01:50 |
| Kemp_Family | could anybody help me | 01:50 |
| froschi | rage: alt-space should bring up the window menu, does it? | 01:50 |
| soreau | Kemp_Family: How is your machine connecting to the internet? | 01:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Kemp_Family: give details on what you are doing, and whats not working | 01:50 |
| froschi | rage: oops | 01:50 |
| a1 | i already know the card its an old 3dfx voodoo3 | 01:50 |
| froschi | travis__: alt-space should bring up the window menu, does it? | 01:50 |
| travis__ | yes | 01:50 |
| a1 | i've tried lots and looked on forums for the last week | 01:50 |
| Dr_Willis | a1: you mey need to put custome modelines in the xorg.conf | 01:50 |
| travis__ | oh i see what you mean now | 01:50 |
| froschi | travis__: it doesn't work directly with maximized windows... and you have to move the mouse farther than the win borders... | 01:51 |
| soreau | a1: Im not sure whatever driver is for that card supports xrandr, but you could try to add a mode with xrandr.. | 01:51 |
| bjegovic | HOW CAN I SPEED UP MY UBUNTU 9.1 GNOME ?? | 01:51 |
| thedoor | When i delete a file in a ext4 partition it will be really deleted? | 01:52 |
| thedoor | or anybody can recover it whit special programs? | 01:52 |
| travis__ | ok it should be easier by clicking on the borders, or at least provide more documentation on how to resize, especially for new users | 01:52 |
| Dr_Willis | bjegovic: depends on whats slow about it. | 01:52 |
| a1 | thanks willis and soreau i've come across both of those methods but not sure if i tried rither correctly any specifics? | 01:52 |
| bjegovic | 512 ram | 01:52 |
| Dr_Willis | thedoor: tjhers always a chance of revovery.. slim.. but a chance | 01:52 |
| a1 | *either | 01:52 |
| ps2pdf | thedoor: no, try shred <filename> then delete it | 01:52 |
| EruditeOgre | Ok, I want to put a folder in /usr to store my web work but can only make the directory as root. (sudo) Now, if I make the directory thus, can I add files to the directory as a vanilla user or do i have to add everything as root? | 01:52 |
| FreeRunner | Anyone familiar with tunneling both incoming and outgoing traffic through a server with ubuntu on it? | 01:52 |
| froschi | travis__: you can make the borders thicker i think :/ ... | 01:52 |
| thedoor | ps2pdf, shred? nice, i will try it :D | 01:53 |
| Kemp_Family | I originally had ubuntu 9.10 n that worked great for months in regards to internet connection. Wired n wireless. I dual booted with windows 7 n reinstalled ubuntu 10.04 and I can not even get on with an ethernet cable. When I installed 9.10 that was good out of the box | 01:53 |
| soreau | a1: Can you pastebin the output of xrandr from your terminal to pastebin.com? (and then post the link here) | 01:53 |
| trojan_spike | thedoor, you should do a hard drive sweep to do a full delete,, take about an hour.. there free software | 01:53 |
| EruditeOgre | FreeRunner: Tunneling? as in VPN? | 01:53 |
| ps2pdf | thedoor: there are also apps to clean the empty space, ram, and swap space | 01:53 |
| Mr_Sonoma | soreau pastbinit | 01:53 |
| Kemp_Family | not this time around | 01:53 |
| soreau | Mr_Sonoma: You pastebinnut | 01:53 |
| travis__ | ok, i found on brainstorm, that they should make an invisible part, instead og making borders thicker, in some cases, a thick border isnt appealing, or pleasant | 01:53 |
| EruditeOgre | FreeRunner: Or as in using a proxy? | 01:53 |
| travis__ | but better than nothing | 01:54 |
| soreau | Kemp_Family: Sounds like a nameserver issue possibly. What do you have in /etc/resolv.conf? | 01:54 |
| Dr_Willis | bjegovic: thers no need to PM me.. ask the questions in the channel | 01:54 |
| Kemp_Family | I don't understand | 01:54 |
| thedoor | ps2pdf, i think it's better programs to clean empty space, the file is already "deleted" so shred is not appliable :( | 01:54 |
| FreeRunner | EruditeOgre: as in using a SOCKS proxy. | 01:54 |
| h07 | a1: what refresh rate you using | 01:54 |
| soreau | Kemp_Family: Open a terminal and type cat /etc/resolv.conf | 01:55 |
| bjegovic | i says i have 512 ram memory | 01:55 |
| bjegovic | and my gnome run slow | 01:55 |
| a2 | soreau sure but i'm new to ubuntu though sorry how would i do that? | 01:55 |
| === _ng is now known as _NG | ||
| ps2pdf | thedoor: yeah, try the program that cleans the empty space, that will remove an already deleted file | 01:55 |
| trojan_spike | get more ram.. | 01:55 |
| bjegovic | i cant | 01:55 |
| Dr_Willis | bjegovic: thats not supriseing.. more ram is always good. | 01:55 |
| soreau | a2: Open a terminal and type xrandr then pastebin the output to pastebin.com in your browser | 01:55 |
| a2 | h07 60hz | 01:55 |
| thedoor | ps2pdf, any sugestion? :) | 01:55 |
| bjegovic | my configuration i s very old and there is no ram what i need | 01:56 |
| trojan_spike | ps? | 01:56 |
| h07 | a1: try setting it to 75hz | 01:56 |
| FreeRunner | EruditeOgre: any ideas? | 01:56 |
| travis__ | bjegovic: you could install Xubuntu, designed for older computers, or computers with less memory | 01:56 |
| Dr_Willis | bjegovic: or lubuntu instead of xubuntu | 01:56 |
| ps2pdf | thedoor: http://techthrob.com/2009/03/02/howto-delete-files-permanently-and-securely-in-linux/ | 01:56 |
| bjegovic | the same | 01:56 |
| Kemp_Family | it says "no such file or directory | 01:56 |
| EruditeOgre | FreeRunner: http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/12/08/ssh-tunnel-socks-proxy-forwarding-secure-browsing/ | 01:56 |
| Kemp_Family | " | 01:56 |
| travis__ | it acts sam in xubuntu? | 01:56 |
| Dr_Willis | bjegovic: you need to be a bit more verbose and concise in what you mean 'the same' is meaningless to us.. | 01:56 |
| travis__ | acts same? | 01:56 |
| soreau | ! who | Kemp_Family | 01:56 |
| ubottu | Kemp_Family: 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 :) | 01:56 |
| EruditeOgre | Requires a SSH account on whatever server you wish to proxy to but still. | 01:57 |
| Dr_Willis | lubuntu should work quite well in 512mb of ram. | 01:57 |
| bjegovic | the same speed is when i install lubuntu and x ubuntu and ubuntu | 01:57 |
| trojan_spike | bjegovic, what do u mainly want to use your pc for?? because there are other o.s's u could choose.. that run well under 512 ram.. | 01:57 |
| Dr_Willis | bjegovic: clarify what you mean by 'speed' | 01:57 |
| travis__ | maybe Fluxbuntu? | 01:57 |
| Dr_Willis | bjegovic: and whats your cpu? | 01:57 |
| EruditeOgre | Hrm. Wonder if I can CHMod the folder... | 01:57 |
| bjegovic | how to chexk that ? | 01:57 |
| ps2pdf | thedoor: Secure-delete is a package of four separate cli utilities, sswap, srm, sfill and smem | 01:57 |
| ChogyDan | travis__: maybe lubuntu | 01:57 |
| travis__ | i heard that the Flux window manager was lightweight | 01:57 |
| soreau | Kemp_Family: So if the output of ifconfig shows an eth0 interface, that means the driver is loaded so its just a matter of configuring it, in sys>prefs>networking | 01:58 |
| ChogyDan | travis__: I think fluxbuntu is dead | 01:58 |
| bjegovic | how to see what is my cpu | 01:58 |
| travis__ | hChogydan: he said he already tried lubuntu | 01:58 |
| travis__ | oh it is? | 01:58 |
| Dr_Willis | travis__: almost any 'just a window manager' will be light weight compared to a full desktop. | 01:58 |
| gizmobay | Device: /dev/sda, ATA error count increased from 960 to 984. Smartctl sent me the prevoius line in an email. Is my hd about to bite the dust? | 01:58 |
| GeekDude | hey | 01:58 |
| a1 | http://pastebin.com/uK4REXmj | 01:58 |
| Dr_Willis | !info hardinfo | 01:58 |
| ubottu | hardinfo (source: hardinfo): Displays system information. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.1-1.1ubuntu2 (lucid), package size 240 kB, installed size 684 kB | 01:58 |
| ps2pdf | thedoor: you probably should run a disk check on the disk to ensure there are no errors on the disk prior to using any of those programs, and be careful, one error will wipe the wrong partition | 01:58 |
| bjegovic | i wanna to be on facebook and listen youtube, but when i try that, my comp begin so slow | 01:59 |
| FreeRunner | EruditeOgre: i am aware of that. What i am trying to do is tunnle a programs incoming and outgoing traffic through the server. I can set the program to use specific ports but i still cant get the incoming traffic to work | 01:59 |
| cn1109 | HELLO. I've just installed ubuntu 10.x LTSP. I'm currently using a different server to server for DHCP. What do I need to edit in my dhcp for my other systems PXE boot from Ubuntu LTSP? | 01:59 |
| Dr_Willis | bjegovic: check the command --> more /proc/cpuinfo | 01:59 |
| travis__ | bjegovic: go to System Moniter | 01:59 |
| trojan_spike | change your o.s to something lighter and basic.. | 01:59 |
| Dr_Willis | bjegovic: thats not supriseing either.. flash is a big pig. | 01:59 |
| thedoor | ps2pdf, i found one called beachbit it does what i need? | 01:59 |
| a1 | soreau thanks as you can see iv'e tried to add a resolution | 01:59 |
| bjegovic | so i cant that ? | 02:00 |
| travis__ | on the system tab should be your cpu | 02:00 |
| ps2pdf | thedoor: i have only used secure-delete with success | 02:00 |
| travis__ | you could try google chrome, and use HTML5 in youtube | 02:00 |
| trojan_spike | bjegovic, is it a netbook your using? | 02:00 |
| travis__ | but its beta though | 02:00 |
| travis__ | but it works for me | 02:00 |
| bjegovic | no, desktop | 02:00 |
| Dr_Willis | bjegovic: for youtube videos - use the HTML5 feature. instead of flash . that may help | 02:00 |
| ps2pdf | bjegovic: try facebook lite version while on youtube: http://topnews.us/content/27035-facebook-launches-its-simple-and-streamlined-lite-version-us-and-india | 02:00 |
| bjegovic | my cpu: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.40GHz | 02:01 |
| trojan_spike | u got graphics card? | 02:01 |

| Dr_Willis | bjegovic: you really should look into getting more ram. The stuff is cheap these days | 02:01 |
| Spreadsheet_ | Hello | 02:01 |
| h07 | bjegovic: Celeron CPU hehe | 02:02 |
| ps2pdf | chris: did you try in terminal: sudo passwd <username> ? | 02:02 |
| bjegovic | i know but my comp is very old and i cant find that version of ram | 02:02 |
| froschi | Dr_Willis: not for the cheap older computers :/ | 02:02 |
| trojan_spike | hmmm Dr_Willis depend on the ram | 02:02 |
| pradeep | h07, heard of mikrotik | 02:02 |
| Spreadsheet_ | It works! | 02:02 |
| Spreadsheet_ | My wireless connection that is | 02:02 |
| trojan_spike | DDR here is pretty expensive | 02:02 |
| Spreadsheet_ | However the GUI parts don't see it | 02:02 |
| wcomnisky | could anybody help me with framebuffer problem in ubuntu server + virtualbox? | 02:02 |
| chris63546541651 | ps2pdf : no i haven't i can get into recovery mode into terminal, i just want back into the GUI | 02:02 |
| Spreadsheet_ | I used iwconfig and now I am connecting to a shell server, chatting with you | 02:02 |
| travis__ | bjegovic: do you know what version your ram is? | 02:02 |
| steve6 | how do i enable the root user and set a password for it | 02:02 |
| Spreadsheet_ | However pidgin is broken beacuse it is waiting for a network connection when there is one | 02:02 |
| Kemp_Family | I am sorry for PMing I am just trying to get help | 02:02 |
| ps2pdf | chris: try recovery mode, login as root, and passwd <username> to reset password | 02:03 |
| trojan_spike | do you know what version it is bjegovic i have ram laying around | 02:03 |
| steve6 | so i can actually log in as iit | 02:03 |
| Dr_Willis | froschi: varisious web suites sell it very cheaply. and his pc is not that old. a Cel 2.4 ghz should handle ubuntu decantly well. i | 02:03 |
| bjegovic | no but some man who work in comp shop told me that today that version is not exiting | 02:03 |
| soreau | a1: Looks like you added it but havent selected it yet. Try xrandr --output Screen\ 0 --mode 1024x768 | 02:03 |
| ps2pdf | steve6: in terminal sudo passwd | 02:03 |
| travis__ | oh ok | 02:03 |
| ps2pdf | steve6: this will assign a password to root | 02:03 |
| Dr_Willis | 512mb ram - is proberly the bottleneck on a Cel 2.4 ghz system. | 02:03 |
| Spreadsheet_ | How do I get the NetworkManager to see it? | 02:03 |
| a1 | thanks will try | 02:03 |
| steve6 | thanks | 02:03 |
| travis__ | you could try DSL, but its not a ubuntu distribution though | 02:04 |
| EruditeOgre | FreeRunner: No clue how to do that, sorry. :( | 02:04 |
| trojan_spike | how old is the pc bjegovic | 02:04 |
| Dr_Willis | I see no differance in the light facebook page vs the normal facebook page. :) | 02:04 |
| travis__ | and i tryed it but it not very good to me | 02:04 |
| ps2pdf | Dr_Willis: well, i guess that was a bad suggestion, maybe less reliance on javascript? | 02:04 |
| mneptok | "tried" | 02:04 |
| FreeRunner | EruditeOgre: Its ok no one does | 02:04 |
| soreau | a1: Maybe (0x96) is part of the mode name? I dont know why your output name and mode has spaces in their name | 02:04 |
| bjegovic | i bought it 2000 | 02:04 |
| actionParsnip | yo yo yo | 02:04 |
| bjegovic | 10 years | 02:04 |
| Dr_Willis | ps2pdf: not sure. :) it does have a slight differance rendering.. but let me play with it more. | 02:04 |
| Kemp_Family | does anybody know how to get a wired internet connection to work | 02:04 |
| travis__ | you might have to buy new laptop/desktop | 02:05 |
| ps2pdf | Dr_Willis: try the view source | 02:05 |
| h07 | pradeep: no whats it for? | 02:05 |
| mneptok | actionParsnip: this is the last time i will ask you to stop /join'ing the channel and instantly adding unnecessary input | 02:05 |
| bjegovic | i dont have money | 02:05 |
| cn1109 | Does anyone have experience setting up a Ltsp server? | 02:05 |
| travis__ | oh | 02:05 |
| chris63546541651 | ps2pdf : how do i log in as root | 02:05 |
| ps2pdf | bjegovic: use your USB flash drive as swap, it will increase the speed of your computer's accessing the RAM | 02:05 |
| actionParsnip | mneptok: ok dude, no worries | 02:05 |
| travis__ | you could try lockerz | 02:05 |
| ps2pdf | chris: under recovery option, drop to root shell | 02:05 |
| a3 | tried it but changed screen 0 to default i think thats right? | 02:05 |
| trojan_spike | window millenium.. ddr or pc 2 | 02:05 |
| a3 | and it said xrandr: cannot find mode 1024x768 | 02:06 |

| travis__ | if you ever heard of lockerz | 02:06 |
| trojan_spike | 512mb in one stick bjegovic | 02:06 |
| actionParsnip | steve6: boot to root recovery mode and run: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 02:06 |
| EruditeOgre | Question: I have a folder under /usr that I wish to use to host web work from. The folder apparently must be owned by root (at least I had to create it with root). How do I grant write access to my account (admin account) to that folder? Do I just 'chmod o+w'? | 02:06 |
| soreau | a1: Ok, try xrandr --output Screen\ 0 --mode 1024x768\ \(0x96\) | 02:06 |
| bjegovic | what???? | 02:07 |
| steve6 | actionParsnip, i still get login proimpt after about 30 seconds | 02:07 |
| ps2pdf | steve6: actionParsnip is usually on the ball, try that trick | 02:07 |
| soreau | a3: see that? | 02:07 |
| Todd__ | Anyone able to give me some suggestions for installing network drivers from the command line? | 02:07 |
| soreau | a3: I made it to a1 | 02:07 |
| actionParsnip | steve6: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode, select root | 02:07 |
| Kemp_Family | does anybody know how to get the internet connection working in Ubuntu 10.04 after beeing dual booted with windows 7 | 02:07 |
| steve6 | but i dont have x installed... its 'server' | 02:07 |
| EruditeOgre | Or can I do g+w considering I'm a part of the admin group? | 02:07 |
| travis__ | its a site where you earn points, and use it on redeeming a whole bunch of stuff | 02:07 |
| EruditeOgre | (Even though the folder is root:root) | 02:07 |
| travis__ | including computers | 02:07 |
| a3 | ye not sure how ive got all these names :S | 02:07 |
| ps2pdf | Kemp_Family: can you be specific on any error messages you get or things you have tried to fix it (more details needed)? | 02:07 |
| a3 | thanks tryin | 02:07 |
| travis__ | and its not a scam | 02:07 |
| mneptok | actionParsnip: since i have asked you multiple times in the past to stop the "yo yo yo" on /join, and you're *still* doing it, it does not incline me to assert that you're receptive to the requests of community leaders, which is requisite for membership. sorry. | 02:08 |
| bjegovic | i am installing lubuntu | 02:08 |
| travis__ | ok | 02:08 |
| Dr_Willis | Todd__: drivers for what exactly? if you know the pcakge names its not too hard. | 02:08 |
| EruditeOgre | Kemp_Family: Wifi or ethernet? | 02:08 |
| h07 | steve6: The problem is that the Video mode is set in '/boot/grub/grub.cfg' to an incorrect value (hence the error message!) | 02:08 |
| ps2pdf | mneptok: is it in the Ubuntu terms of agreement for this chatroom? | 02:08 |
| steve6 | i get 'packiage xserver-zorg is not installed | 02:08 |
| a3 | same result | 02:08 |
| actionParsnip | mneptok: i understand | 02:08 |
| cablop | i'm starting to get so tired of the way ubuntu works :( | 02:08 |
| cablop | full of stupid bugs! | 02:08 |
| pradeep | h07, basically for hotpot or bandwith manager | 02:08 |
| actionParsnip | EruditeOgre: make a group and add your user and root to it, then run: sudo chown root:foo bar; sudo chmod g+w bar replace foo with the group name and bar with the folder name | 02:08 |
| Kemp_Family | if was able to get the ethernet working I could download the driver for the wireless adapter | 02:09 |
| ps2pdf | cablop: suggest improvements here: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com | 02:09 |
| cablop | i can't change the keyboard layout, i add a different and remove what i'm using now, but IT WON'T CHANGE | 02:09 |
| Todd__ | I had ubunter server 10 installed and the mobo fried. installed a new mobo and ubuntu does not recognize the nIC anymore. Need to trigger ubuntu to reinstall the Network driver | 02:09 |
| ps2pdf | Kemp_Family: did you try sudo service networking restart in terminal? | 02:09 |
| cablop | it's not an improvement! it's a bug... awww | 02:09 |
| Todd__ | not sure how to do this from the command line. | 02:09 |
| Kemp_Family | nope | 02:09 |
| Kemp_Family | I will try | 02:09 |
| ps2pdf | Kemp_Family: consult ifconfig and iwconfig for details of your network and wireless card, see if you get an IP address? | 02:09 |
| soreau | Kemp_Family: You need to set your nameserver. In /etc/resolv.conf, you can put nameserver 192.168.1.1 or whatever you want to be your nameserver or you can just use sys>prefs>networking | 02:10 |
| cablop | anyway | 02:10 |
| cablop | after the rant | 02:10 |
| Kemp_Family | I have ip address in the network connection for auto eth0 | 02:10 |
| ps2pdf | soureau: public nameservers include 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220 | 02:10 |
| cablop | any idea on how to be able to change the keyboard layout? | 02:10 |
| soreau | Kemp_Family: If you type ping 8.8.8.8, does it work? | 02:10 |
| Kemp_Family | more like a mac address | 02:10 |
| actionParsnip | Kemp_Family: soreau : if you use a gui app for network management, the changes in resolv.conf will be overwritten so you must append the setting in the gui app | 02:10 |
| EruditeOgre | actionParsnip: Thanks. Will do | 02:11 |
| soreau | ps2pdf: I know that. | 02:11 |
| h07 | pradeep: so ask for help at there forum :P | 02:11 |

| elegantchaos | cheers! does anyone know of an Acer support chat? im having start up issues | 02:11 |
| soreau | actionParsnip: Yes, I know. | 02:11 |
| Kemp_Family | type 8.8.8.8 | 02:11 |
| Kemp_Family | where | 02:11 |
| mneptok | ps2pdf: from the IRC Guidelines, with emphasis added | 02:11 |
| ps2pdf | Kemp_Family: maybe the IP you are getting is IPv6, which looks like a mac address | 02:11 |
| soreau | Kemp_Family: No, ping 8.8.8.8 | 02:11 |
| travis__ | cablop when you clicked it, did you click 'Apply System Wide? | 02:11 |
| ps2pdf | mneptok: i have not and am not violating any of them | 02:11 |
| soreau | Kemp_Family: In your terminal | 02:11 |
| Kemp_Family | in a terminal' | 02:11 |
| mneptok | ps2pdf: i did not say you were | 02:12 |
| === nathan is now known as brummbaer | ||
| actionParsnip | soreau: was more just to tie your flows together. I guessed you knew :) | 02:12 |
| cablop | travis_ yes i did, and nothing happened | 02:12 |
| KE1HA | elegantchaos, what is the start up issue ? | 02:12 |
| Kemp_Family | it says command not found | 02:12 |
| soreau | actionParsnip: my flows dont require tying, thanks. | 02:12 |
| cablop | i'm going to restart this thing and see what happens :( | 02:12 |
| soreau | Kemp_Family: ping | 02:13 |
| soreau | Kemp_Family: ping 8.8.8.8 | 02:13 |
| travis__ | خن | 02:13 |
| chris63546541651 | ps2pdf : i tried going to root shell and changed password, it still wont let me on, i click on username and it goes right back to the same screen to select user | 02:13 |
| cablop | but... after using 5 years ubuntu it's too sad to see some stupid bugs around... 5 years... | 02:13 |
| travis__ | هف هف صخقنثی بخق پث | 02:13 |
| actionParsnip | soreau: np | 02:13 |
| pradeep | please newort administrator here | 02:13 |
| elegantchaos | it doesnt wanna boot into ubuntu it may take several times... maybe never.. ive installed several times.. im patient perhaps a "grub"issue? | 02:13 |
| a3 | soreau: do you know the way to edit the xrandr? | 02:13 |
| travis__ | it worked for me | 02:13 |
| h07 | cablop: what bugs? | 02:13 |
| Kemp_Family | it says network is unreachable | 02:13 |
| soreau | a3: You mean the mode you already added? | 02:13 |
| ps2pdf | chris: did the password reset for the user so you can login? did you get any errors? | 02:13 |
| travis__ | h07: cablop says it wont change keyboard layout, but it works for me | 02:14 |
| chris63546541651 | ps2pdf : no it didnt require a password to log on, but it wont let me in | 02:14 |
| travis__ | i think cablop forgot to move what he wanted to the top | 02:14 |
| a3 | soreau: ye i can't remember how i added it haha | 02:14 |
| ps2pdf | chris: if you switch ttyl at startup, can you login as the user or root? | 02:14 |
| KE1HA | elegantchaos, I doubt grub is the root problem, more likely a kernel / harware compatability issue. Are you getting any error messages during boot? | 02:15 |
| h07 | cablop: cant change keyboard layout.. thats not a bug! | 02:15 |
| soreau | a3: Even if you were able to get xrandr working this way, it would reset after X restart. Ultimately you will want to add a mode line to xorg.conf | 02:15 |
| ps2pdf | Kemp_Family: in terminal (applications -> accessories -> terminal), run route , do you see your router there? | 02:15 |
| chris63546541651 | ps2pdf : i can log on as a different user, and i put in root as user but dont know password | 02:15 |
| bjegovic | will my comp be faster when i install lubuntu and will i can acess gnome again ?? | 02:16 |
| elegantchaos | i did see "64 bit" in lineage.. but am surei m using 32 bit ata 2 and ata4 marked "dummy" are the last lines on start up in recovery | 02:16 |
| Kemp_Family | run: command not found | 02:16 |
| ps2pdf | chris: is this correct then: you don't know your username's password or the root password? | 02:16 |
| a3 | soreau: any suggestions on doing that? i'm only just starting on ubuntu and this is on my list of problems i've had so far | 02:16 |
| ps2pdf | Kemp_Family: i am sorry, just "route" in terminal without quotes | 02:16 |
| bjegovic | can anybody answer me | 02:17 |
| chris63546541651 | ps2pdf : yes | 02:17 |
| ps2pdf | Kemp_Family: you should see your Router's IP under Gateway column, do you see this? | 02:17 |
| h07 | travis__: not sure what his problem is! | 02:17 |
| travis__ | lubuntu doesnt have gnome installed, but you can install it through synaptics | 02:17 |
| Kemp_Family | nope, it is blank for Gateway | 02:17 |
| ps2pdf | chris: i think recovery is the only option, anyone else know a way for chris to recover his password for username or root? | 02:17 |
| ps2pdf | Kemp_Family: ok, that is the problem, your Ubuntu is not detecting your router as the gateway, does your computer run alright in Windows mode if you have Windows installed? | 02:18 |
| Kemp_Family | yes, it is dual booted with 7 n the wireless is just fine | 02:19 |
| h07 | ps2pdf: is chris working off a live cd? | 02:19 |
| KE1HA | elegantchaos, you can enable an extended log funciton for boot errors: In /etc/default/bootlogd edit BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=No | 02:19 |
| KE1HA | to say yes, then review the results. | 02:19 |
| ps2pdf | h07: i do not believe so | 02:19 |
| actionParsnip | ps2pdf: you may be able to chroot, not sure | 02:19 |
| ps2pdf | Kemp_Family: ok, in terminal, try "sudo service network restart" without quotes | 02:19 |
| actionParsnip | ps2pdf: chroot then run: sudo passwd foo | 02:19 |
| elegantchaos | thanks i will try and let you know :) | 02:19 |
| pharacon | ok got a quick question I got to change file permissions using nautalis and I can click and change it but as soon as i move the mouse it snaps back to what it was before i changed it, any suggestions? | 02:19 |
| ps2pdf | chris: did you see actionParsnip's suggestion above? | 02:19 |
| h07 | ps2pdf: in the past Ive used system-rescue cd to do just that | 02:20 |
| magn3ts | why are there two conflicting packages: "gcc-mingw32" and "mingw32" they have hte same description... | 02:20 |
| Kemp_Family | network: unrecognized service | 02:20 |
| soreau | a3: Maybe you can google for an xorg.conf that has mode lines | 02:20 |
| actionParsnip | pharacon: are you the owner of the file? | 02:21 |
| ps2pdf | Kemp_Family: ok, in terminal, try "sudo service networking restart" without quotes, try networking instead of network | 02:21 |
| pharacon | yes | 02:21 |
| pharacon | i just made the folder | 02:21 |
| ps2pdf | Kemp_Family: ok, in terminal, try "sudo /etc/init.d/network restart" without quotes, that should also work if service is again not recognized | 02:21 |
| pharacon | but i want to allow a group to have full access to it | 02:21 |
| soreau | Kemp_Family: You say wireless works in win7 but hardwire does not work in ubuntu. That isnt a fair comparison, even though I know you are trying to ultimately get wireless working, something could be physically wrong with your ethernet cable and/or termination connections | 02:22 |
| a3 | soraeu: thanks will take a look now at least im on the right track | 02:22 |
| actionParsnip | pharacon: hmm, so the partition is writable and you are the owner, should be ok. If you change it in terminal does it stick? | 02:22 |
| keplar | anyone happen to know what the tablet is that appears on the ubuntu homepage? or is it just a mock-up | 02:22 |
| ps2pdf | soreau: they have an ip in ifconfig, can't ping ip addresses, and have no IP in route's gateway | 02:22 |
| pharacon | i'm a noob, i do not know how :( | 02:22 |
| cmwslw | ls | 02:22 |
| preecher | when i am watchin a movie every few minutes my screen starts to fade and then go black but if i move my mouse when it starts to fade it stays ok--its aggravating when im tryn watch something-anyone kno how to stop this? | 02:22 |
| hiexpo | Kemp_Family, what kinda router isit ? | 02:23 |

| keplar | www.ubuntu.com | 02:23 |
| keplar | :P | 02:23 |
| thune3 | DeM0nFiRe: you had a question way back about listing packages by size. You could try: dpkg-query -W -f '${Installed-Size} ${Package}\n' | sort -n | 02:23 |
| h07 | keplar: bleh | 02:23 |
| h07 | keplar: full link please | 02:23 |
| Kemp_Family | linksys | 02:23 |
| keplar | it is in the "Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is here!" advert on the main page | 02:23 |
| actionParsnip | Kemp_Family: make sure you disable opwer management on the ethernet device as well as the ability to "wake windows up", both are set in device manager. This can make the device not get "ocked" even when windows is off | 02:23 |
| DeM0nFiRe | thune3, yeah, thanks I found it already | 02:23 |
| hiexpo | Kemp_Family, and what system 10.04 ? | 02:23 |

| soreau | Kemp_Family: Can you ping your router? | 02:25 |
| travis__ | oh, keplar beat me to it | 02:25 |

| h07 | keplar: ohh is that a tab Pc? | 02:26 |
| keplar | i thought so. it may be an all-in-one i guess :/ | 02:26 |
| risc79 | hi | 02:26 |
| ps2pdf | soreau: i have seen this bug in Ubuntu 9.10, where i get an IP from the router, but nothing in the route, and can't ping any IPs | 02:26 |
| leftyfb | Fresh install of 10.04 with the /home from 8.04 copied back. For some reason, clicking on items in the Places menu is bringing up Firefox as the File manager instead of nautilus. I've looked in gconf-editor but can't find anything that isn't setup correctly. There's no setting for file manager in preferred applications and nothing I can find for file manager in /etc/alternatives. | 02:26 |
| keplar | but no keyboard and mouse in view | 02:26 |
| h07 | keplar: looks like a mock up to me | 02:26 |
| actionParsnip | leftyfb: did you chown the folders to the new user? | 02:27 |

| elegantchaos | get a mac | 02:27 |
| h07 | travis_ yeah sure but those buttons at the base? | 02:27 |
| leftyfb | usacomputertec: use internet explorer under wine or in Virtualbox. There's no activex for Ubuntu | 02:28 |
| usacomputertec | I have a web page that requires activex even if I use the user agent switcher and tell it I'm using Windows and IE6 | 02:28 |
| keplar | they may be like the monitor menu buttons | 02:28 |
| hiexpo | ok heres what ya gotta do > heres the problem with eth it sometimes chages eth upon each boot so what ya gotta do is right click on network manager than hit edit than click wired see what eth it is eth 0 > 1 2 3etc than click the one your on than edit it i will go on after you tell me that is the prob changing eth number upon reboot | 02:28 |

| travis__ | oh | 02:29 |

| actionParsnip | leftyfb: try: sudo apt-get --reinstall install nautilus it may reset the default apps in gconf | 02:29 |
| h07 | travis_ hah mock up to me! | 02:29 |
| keplar | i think the asus eeepad will be my choice when it (maybe) comes out next year | 02:29 |

| elegantchaos | i want an ipad with real software too | 02:29 |
| Kemp_Family | same as before | 02:30 |
| soreau | Kemp_Family: Assuming your routers ip is 192.168.1.1, can you try this? sudo killall NetworkManager && sudo /sbin/route del default && sudo /sbin/ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.110 && sudo /sbin/route add default gw 192.168.1.1 && sudo /sbin/iptables -F && sudo /sbin/iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT && sudo /sbin/iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT && sudo /sbin/iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT | 02:30 |

| octavio-rdz | hi room what is the best solution for remote desktop ... I have tried vnc but is slow ... comparing it to Win. solution (RDP) | 02:30 |
| ps2pdf | usacomputertec: under wine, you can install IE6 in Ubuntu 10.04 | 02:30 |
| travis__ | for tablet(at least there called tablet) i found a HP and Lenovo and Fujitsu | 02:30 |
| actionParsnip | octavio-rdz: why do you want to view the remote desktop? | 02:30 |
| keplar | i dont want the keyboard deal, just a slate like an ipad | 02:30 |
| travis__ | oh i get it now sorry | 02:30 |

| leftyfb | octanium: teamviewer.com | 02:32 |
| actionParsnip | octavio-rdz: but for what reason, there are usually more elegant solutions than vnc | 02:32 |
| elegantchaos | remote desktop viewer... should be fine | 02:32 |
| leftyfb | oops | 02:32 |
| leftyfb | octavio-rdz: teamviewer.com | 02:32 |

| Dr_Willis | h07: you dident bother to look at the url that keplar posted did you... | 02:33 |
| Kemp_Family | network is unreachable | 02:33 |
| leftyfb | it's slow and inefficient | 02:33 |
| DeM0nFiRe | Haha, I am sure I am gonna make someone cringe, but I made my menu more like the Windows XP Start menu :P | 02:33 |
| Ubuntus | i already downloaded the file | 02:33 |

| hiexpo | Kemp_Family, ok than upon hitting edit click ipv4 than hit method click manual than hit add in add type > pm me if ya wanna know the rest ok | 02:35 |
| leftyfb | octavio-rdz: use ssh for quick file transfers, use teamviewer for full remote desktop | 02:35 |
| octavio-rdz | leftyfb: it is not? I read that it was based on UltraVNC code | 02:35 |
| soreau | Kemp_Family: sudo dhclient eth0 | 02:35 |
| elegantchaos | thats almost sick DeMo | 02:35 |
| travis__ | haha i found a vdeo with ubuntu on iphone | 02:35 |

| h07 | Dr_Willis: im only droooling on one side now!! | 02:35 |
| soreau | Kemp_Family: or actually, you need to configure it in sys>prefs>networking | 02:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm.. why is it that with some of my usb flash drives in ubuntu i get major major slow speeds.. its getting annoying. WIth each kernel update, i jhope it gets fixed. :( | 02:35 |
| elegantchaos | oops sorry admin | 02:35 |
| leftyfb | octavio-rdz: I stand corrected. Either way, it's VNC done right then. Just go try it. Doesn't really get any better than that | 02:35 |
| Dr_Willis | h07: theres rumors of some in the $100 range also. but i will wait and see | 02:36 |
| ps2pdf | soreau: they should run it without the eth0, so it refreshes all interfaces | 02:36 |
| Ubuntus | how can i upgrade my intel bios from the terminal? | 02:36 |

| actionParsnip | octavio-rdz: see what I mean, there is usually a better solution than vnc. this is why i fnid it very vulgar. The only reason I can see vnc being used is for training and presentations over lan, otherwise there are much faster and sleeker solutions to why most users think they need vnc | 02:38 |

| Todd__ | Hi all. Anyone know how to reinstall nic drivers from command line? When Ubuntu installed it installed the drivers but now the nic has changed. | 02:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Todd__: what 'nic' are you trying to uise? | 02:41 |
| leftyfb | Todd__: did remove or disable the previous "nic"? | 02:41 |
| Todd__ | There are 2 actually. One in the mobo which I assume will be more difficult. I also have one in a pci slot. | 02:42 |
| leftyfb | Todd__: why do you need multiple nic's? | 02:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Todd__: most wired nics should be just plug in the wire.. and they work | 02:42 |
| actionParsnip | octavio-rdz: many torrent clients have web clients so you can check your downloads from any PC and there are even smartphone apps which talk to some torrent apps | 02:42 |
| Todd__ | It's just some basic nic card. When I went to the manufacturer site they indicated it was integrated into the linux core. | 02:42 |
| Gametime | no answer? | 02:42 |
| leftyfb | Todd__: why do you need multiple nic's? | 02:42 |
| h07 | Todd__: what OS? | 02:42 |
| Todd__ | OS is Ubuntu server 10. Need to because this is being configured as a firewall. | 02:43 |
| Todd__ | to = two | 02:43 |
| octavio-rdz | actionParsnip: ok, going to look for one of those | 02:43 |
| IdleOne | Gametime: see ##windows for help with install | 02:43 |
| h07 | Todd__: and it didnt pick them up? | 02:44 |
| a3 | soreau: new error :( | 02:44 |
| Todd__ | I had ubuntu server installed and working and mobo fried. installed new mobo and it does not recognize the new mobo integrated network card. | 02:44 |
| Todd__ | I installed a generic card in an pci slot to see if this would work and it does not see that one either. | 02:45 |
| leftyfb | Todd__: does sudo ifconfig eth0 ; sudo ifconfig eth1 show you both nic's? | 02:45 |
| h07 | Todd__: does windows pick it up? | 02:45 |
| Todd__ | It shows me only the pci slot card. | 02:45 |
| Todd__ | If I remember correctly. | 02:46 |
| Evolution-X | is there any software to backup ubuntu | 02:46 |
| Dr_Willis | Todd__: you sure the onboard is not disabled in bios? does lspci show both nics? | 02:46 |

| ridin | Dr_Willis, never mind, the download is working | 02:47 |
| Dr_Willis | ridin: i thought it was in the aprtners repos.. or some PPA's | 02:48 |

| capleton | Hi, I'm trying to enable two-finger scrolling on my asus eee 1201n pc. It is able to do it in windows. I want to do the Xorg method. But when I find my settings with synclient -m 150 and plub them in, I get erratic scrolling behavior. even without emulatetwofingers enabled, whenever i touch the touchpad with two fingers, the cursor moves around eratically. Does anyone know how I could get two-finger scrolling to work? | 02:59 |

| nimbiotics | hello everybody. I just updated to 10.04 and am getting some troubles. To begin with the most important one; now I cannot, or don't know how to access, other (NTFS) partitions on this PC. I can only guess this is related to an error message I'm geting on startup: "An error occurred while mounting 'blkid. Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery"(sic) I tried M once but, not knowing... | 03:01 |
| nimbiotics | ...what to do, haven't tried again. I can see the partitions with gpaterd and Disk Utility; but thats about it. What can I do?? TIA! | 03:01 |
| hiexpo | Kemp_Family, did ya figure it out ? | 03:02 |
| sjm | nimbiotics, is it a dual boot machine? | 03:04 |
| nimbiotics | sjm: yes | 03:04 |
| sjm | nimbiotics, I get that when I suspend windows. It is still marked as active so Ubuntu won't mount it to change anything. boot back into windows and shutdown rather than suspending or hibernating and try again. | 03:05 |
| trollboy | so I backed up ~ and then formatted and re-installed ubuntu. I copied .evolution and .evolution-backup from /backup to ~ and nothings there. Thoughts? | 03:05 |
| nimbiotics | sjm: I dont thinks thats the case, but will give it a try, BRB | 03:06 |

| dlopez12 | this is my first time using IRC...just wanted to confirm it was working | 03:51 |
| Mr_Sonoma | !hi dlopez12 | 03:51 |
| dlopez12 | hi MR_Sonoma | 03:51 |
| Mr_Sonoma | !hi | dlandau | 03:51 |
| dlopez12 | I guess it is | 03:51 |
| ubottu | dlandau: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 03:51 |
| h07 | who htat bot is busy | 03:52 |
| Guest23762 | i have installed wine now what do i do? | 03:52 |
| Mr_Sonoma | lol and i messed up twice in a row too :( | 03:52 |
| sweetpi | ZykoticK9: Nice. I don't really play games much. But any I find that have native installers, I buy to show support. | 03:53 |

| h07 | perhaps a traitor to you | 03:53 |
| zenergi | Are mod_evasive + mod_security the best defense against web based DOS/DDOS attacks? Would iptables be better suited for the rate-limiting tasks? | 03:53 |
| === ` is now known as luis_lopez | ||
| dlopez12 | this is just a quick question about bots in IRC...what do they actually do? | 03:54 |
| leftyfb | actionParsnip: fixed my issue with places items opening up with firefox instead of nautilus. Problem is described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/260492 | 03:54 |
| zenergi | dlopez12: think of them as scripts that react to commands | 03:54 |
| wrektjet | how can i get a file that is over 4 gig onto a usb? do i format the usb with gparted into etxt3? | 03:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | Guest23762, assuming Gnome, double click on a windows EXE file and you'll probably get an error about executable, so right click the EXE properties and put a checkmark in "make executable" and apply it. Then double click on the EXE again and it should start. You want the EXE installs, or if they are installed on a windows partition you can try those as well (might fail due to missing install stuff though) | 03:54 |
| dlopez12 | oh ok, thx zenergi | 03:54 |
| ridin | somehow the sound options are stretched too much vertically that i can't resize it to see all the options? | 03:54 |
| noisewaterphd | zenergi: mod_sec is a must IMO, but yes, I use iptables for rate limiting still | 03:55 |
| surfereddie | hello | 03:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | sweetpi, those are all games i OWN legal copies of the windows CD | 03:55 |
| zenergi | dlopez12: they can also be used like a wiki. so common questions in the channel can be quickly (or automagically) answered | 03:55 |
| surfereddie | Anybody in here using FreeNX | 03:55 |
| zenergi | noisewaterphd: i was thinking itables woudl be best since it's most efficient being a kernel level function | 03:56 |
| soreau | ! anybody | surfereddie | 03:56 |
| ubottu | surfereddie: 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? | 03:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | sweetpi, i'm really disappointed about iD dropping linux support :( Hopeful about Steam though :) Long live linux gaming (although I too don't really game anymore, none installed right now) | 03:56 |
| zenergi | noisewaterphd: any thoughts/experience with mod_evasive? | 03:56 |
| noisewaterphd | zenergi: never used it | 03:56 |
| sweetpi | ZykoticK9: I wasn't implying that you didnt. sorry if it came off that way. i was just saying even though i dont play games, i still buy them to show support. | 03:56 |
| noisewaterphd | I was just googling it | 03:56 |
| h07 | ZykoticK9: PC games on ubuntu? | 03:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | sweetpi, it didn't - i was just agreeing with you! | 03:57 |
| surfereddie | Does anybody have FreeNX working? I tried to install it and now I cannot uninstall it. | 03:57 |
| actionParsnip | !games | h07 | 03:57 |
| ubottu | h07: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php | 03:57 |
| zenergi | noisewaterphd: thats about my level of experience iwth it too :) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1142222 , was the best link i found | 03:57 |
| sweetpi | ZykoticK9: oh ok :) | 03:57 |
| zenergi | best ubuntu related link | 03:57 |
| thune3 | wrektjet: sure ext2/ext3. Or you sould split the file, if reconstructing it later is feasable. | 03:57 |
| noisewaterphd | zenergi: thx | 03:57 |
| wrektjet | just chiming in - i spent loads of time trying to get COD working on 9.04 and never succeded | 03:58 |
| sweetpi | ZykoticK9: I heard the rumors about id. is it official? | 03:58 |
| natex | surfereddie: you having a problem with it? | 03:58 |
| h07 | hey that bot is doing over time! | 03:58 |
| dlopez12 | !help | 03:58 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 03:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | sweetpi, they haven't released anything since Quake Wars for linux i think, i believe it's pretty official they aren't continuing 'cause it ain't profitable :( | 03:59 |
| surfereddie | @natex; yes it will not overwrite a NX user. And I don't know how to get rid of the files | 03:59 |
| wrektjet | thune3, i just realized - will i be able to get it onto my windows install? i am having trouble getting data from one partition to another i thought just putting it on a usb would be easiest but that hasnt worked out so far | 03:59 |
| natex | surfereddie: not sure what you mean "overwrite a NX user" | 03:59 |
| h07 | wrektjet: from where? | 03:59 |
| surfereddie | natex: prior install | 04:00 |
| surfereddie | natex: it creates a user. their were problems with the first install now their are dir / folders with X's and I can't even see the files in them to delete them | 04:01 |
| wrektjet | h07, from my ext3 hdd onto a diff hdd with a win7 partition, the / directory, and another ext4 partition. dont ask btw how this came to be. i was even n00bier than now :) | 04:01 |
| natex | surfereddie: did you use --purge ? | 04:02 |
| wrektjet | there shoud be a test users have to pass before being allowed access to gparted :) | 04:02 |
| surfereddie | natex: no is that a command or program | 04:02 |
| sweetpi | ZykoticK9: I didnt think they released anything for PC at all since quake wars | 04:02 |
| cesar001 | hi roommates | 04:03 |
| cesar001 | how is everything? | 04:03 |
| natex | surfereddie: remove it with 'sudo apt-get purge PACKAGENAME' | 04:03 |
| aaron_ | i have a iso for win7 but not a big enough flashdrive to hold it. can i install it directly from the harddrive some how? | 04:03 |
| h07 | wrektjet: so have you booted from a live cd? | 04:03 |
| actionParsnip | wrektjet: to mount ntfs: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindows | 04:04 |
| ZykoticK9 | sweetpi, i'm pretty sure something come out since then (i have SOMETHING in memory) that sparked the whole linux not supported anymore. | 04:04 |
| sweetpi | ZykoticK9: ah .. there was a new wolfenstein. :/ | 04:05 |
| === wildbat000 is now known as wildbat | ||

| jeremy77 | I just did fresh install ubuntu 10.04 64 bit and just have a couple things I need help on. I have my num lock set on in bios but it shuts off at log in screen and I need to set up ati graphics card. guess I will start with num lock. how do I get ubuntu to leave num lock on at boot instead of shutting it off? | 04:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | !blacklist | kisuke | 04:15 |
| ubottu | kisuke: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 04:15 |
| natex | surfereddie: you can see what is installed with dpkg -l | 04:15 |
| kisuke | ZykoticK9: close enough, thanks. | 04:15 |
| natex | surfereddie: filter that with dpkg -l | grep nx | 04:15 |

| peepingtom | If I have a VPN connection and a bunch of computers on a LAN, can I just have them all connect to the VPN separately or do I have to set up some sort of special server and routing? | 04:16 |
| peepingtom | I mean like having 2 computers use networkmanager to connect to the same VPN account | 04:16 |

| h07 | love and affection OT me thinks :P | 04:19 |
| natex | lolmac233: log in graphically? or via shell? | 04:19 |
| lolmac233 | when ubuntu starts it asks for a user and password, but it logs another user (a remote one) automatically | 04:19 |
| lolmac233 | via shell | 04:19 |
| surfereddie | natex: ran purge on nxserver and cannot shutdown nxserver error | 04:19 |
| lolmac233 | but i could access it remotely from another computer | 04:19 |
| * ThomasB2k dislikes the constant join/part messages in this channel | 04:19 | |
| KE1HA | lolmac233, use PGP & SSH Authentication. Just make sure your the only one that's going to use the computer to access the remote machine. | 04:19 |
| ThomasB2k | bbl | 04:20 |
| korben | h07 that is what ubuntu is all about m8 | 04:20 |
| natex | surfereddie: you'll have to stop the service I guess. Do you know how? | 04:20 |
| sixofour | okay, this is retarded, when ever the mouse lock on my laptop ios rpessed, the keyboard stops working untill reboot, applications do not work, terminal does not work, clcking icons doesn't work, nor does restarting...the only option is to hard reset....sorry for saying this, but what the fuck | 04:20 |
| ZykoticK9 | Guest23762, to be honest i don't remember seeing a "good" wine tutuorial. FYI from command line you can run "wine ApplicationName.exe" and it won't give permission issues. | 04:20 |
| h07 | korben: hehe still ####OT | 04:20 |
| jeremy77 | I have a ati HD2600xt so do I have to remove default driver before i download and install the amd drivers? | 04:20 |
| lolmac233 | KE1HA, ok thanks, also, do you know if ubuntu supports concurrent remote sessions? | 04:20 |
| Guest23762 | thanks zkykotick | 04:20 |
| digitalfiz | even from cli wine wants the exe to be executible | 04:21 |
| Mr_Sonoma | lolmac233, yes i do it all the time | 04:21 |
| lolmac233 | 1 user using the computer locally (user A account ) and another user using it remotely (user b account) | 04:21 |
| Guest23762 | how do you add applications to wine? | 04:21 |
| Guest23762 | libraries? | 04:21 |
| lolmac233 | hmm, so is it possible to make the account log on automatically? | 04:22 |
| korben | i don't remember openning an actually usefull app with wine except a game or two | 04:22 |
| natex | lolmac233: yes you can do that. You'll need either vnc or freenx | 04:22 |
| KE1HA | How do you mean concurrent ? | 04:22 |
| surfereddie | natex: no I do not | 04:22 |
| keen101 | I need some help with X.org. or is it X11? anyway...i need some help | 04:22 |

| ZykoticK9 | Guest23762, get the installers for the stuff you need as you would in windows - download the EXEs, then install them using wine. you might also want to check out the winetricks script, pretty handy for stuff. | 04:23 |
| h07 | keen101: what the problem? | 04:23 |
| KE1HA | Yes, by putting your Public Signature on the remote computer, when you log via SSH, no PW is required. | 04:23 |
| therealpsychx | Guest23762: Typically, if you install it via Wine, it will be added to the Program Files menu. You can also find the wine directory at: /home/username/.wine/drive_c | 04:23 |
| keen101 | i wanted to re-enable the GDM restart with Ctrl Alt Backspace and used the command setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_f9 | 04:23 |

| ZykoticK9 | !dontzap | keen101 | 04:24 |
| h07 | keen101: thats confusing | 04:24 |
| ubottu | keen101: To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap | 04:24 |
| Mr_Sonoma | keen101, graphical way is to go to system > preferences > keyboard > layouts > options > key sequence to kill x server | 04:25 |
| therealpsychx | Guest23762: If you download, or use from a CD or something, an .exe - you should be able to double-click, or right-click and open with wine. It should run in Wine and install within Wine. | 04:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | keen101, OHHH sorry i have no idea about your issue! i never used the setxkbmap before. good luck man. | 04:25 |

| keen101 | Okay, so your saying that that was already a shortcut for a terminal? well... how to get out of the terminal if i got into it? | 04:29 |

| korben | everybody is completely ignoring poor sixofour and i can't help him out :( | 04:29 |

| sixofour | tat @ therealpsychx | 04:30 |
| natex | surfereddie: yes | 04:30 |
| sixofour | that* | 04:30 |
| tensorpudding | As in, I'm running a different Ubuntu instance on the same machine, with the partition containing the ecryptfs home. | 04:30 |

| natex | surfereddie: nx needs ssh | 04:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | h07, F1-F6 are terminals | 04:30 |
| h07 | ZykoticK9: CTRL_ATL_F7 is not that? | 04:30 |
| therealpsychx | sixofour: So you press the mouse lock, then can't get out of it - or do anything at all? Then you hold the power button on the laptop? | 04:30 |
| korben | [therealpsychx]: he has crushes because of mouselock ? | 04:30 |
| sixofour | therealpsychx pressing mouse lock pretty much breaks linux | 04:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | h07, 7-10 are GUI "terminals" | 04:31 |
| surfereddie | thanks so much for the help!!! | 04:31 |
| sixofour | i turn it off, but nothing works after | 04:31 |
| keen101 | ....interesting.... | 04:31 |
| h07 | ZykoticK9: no no no | 04:31 |
| sixofour | and i have to do a hard reset | 04:31 |
| joeb3_ | cutterjohn, I get a blank white screen. I just type my password and hit enter. It works | 04:31 |
| therealpsychx | sixofour: Just wondering, what kind of laptop is it? | 04:31 |
| sixofour | the mouse works after i turn it off, but everything else doesn't | 04:31 |
| sixofour | hp | 04:31 |
| h07 | ZykoticK9: noly F7 is a GUI | 04:31 |
| therealpsychx | sixofour: What version of Ubuntu are you running? | 04:31 |
| sixofour | the latest | 04:32 |
| guest1 | alt+f7 is GUI | 04:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | h07, yes yes yes. they are Xorg--Virtual-Terminals - i don't know there technical name. F7 F8 F9 & F10 yes are GUI | 04:32 |
| cutterjohn | joeb3, not my problem I get the hdd going apeshit and the system not responding to anything other than ALT-SYSRQ+RSEINUB unless I wait c. 5m | 04:32 |
| subspider | hello guys | 04:32 |
| keen101 | okay, cool. so i didnt mess up my system. I just tried Ctrl_Alt_F9 on another machine and it went black too, so i guess it is a terminal | 04:32 |
| natex | h07: you can have F8 and more too | 04:32 |
| korben | i am sure it is just a driver thing, i am sure that the mouse lock is translated with something else that is not supported and crashes | 04:32 |
| h07 | ZykoticK9: well thats not so ONLY one is gui | 04:32 |
| keen101 | ....but... typing "exit" doesent do anything...hmmm | 04:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | h07, you can have multiple! | 04:33 |
| therealpsychx | sixofour: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS | 04:33 |
| cutterjohn | joeb3 just faster to emerg reboot by ALT-SYSRQ | 04:33 |
| h07 | ZykoticK9: not by default | 04:33 |
| keen101 | how do i exit that terminal? | 04:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | h07, gdmflexiserver and log in as another user - only one user at a time! | 04:33 |
| sixofour | let me check | 04:33 |
| joeb3_ | cutterjohn, ok | 04:33 |
| sixofour | yes therealpsychx | 04:33 |
| subspider | when i press ctrl + alt +f5 my cli gives me theses errors constantly unable to enumerate usb device on port 3 | 04:33 |
| subspider | hub cannot disable port 3 (error=-32) | 04:33 |
| subspider | usb device not accepting adress 0 , error =-71 | 04:33 |
| natex | h07: try it... in ubuntu log inas another user. then use ctrl+alt+f7/f8 to swith back and forth | 04:34 |
| nimbiotics | hello everybody. I just updated to 10.04 and am getting weird behaviour. To begin with the most important one; now I cannot, or don't know how to access, other (NTFS) partitions on this PC. I can only guess this is related to an error message I'm getting on startup: "An error occurred while mounting 'blkid. Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery"(sic) I tried M once but, not... | 04:34 |
| nimbiotics | ...knowing what to do, haven't tried again. I can see the partitions with gparted and Disk Utility; but thats about it. What can I do?? TIA! | 04:34 |
| cutterjohn | (this IS a CLEAN install BTW) | 04:34 |
| therealpsychx | sixofour: Ok | 04:34 |
| cutterjohn | (x86-64) | 04:34 |
| kisuke | is there any way to disable ipv6? | 04:34 |
| h07 | ZykoticK9: another user maybe but not by default | 04:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | h07, i don't understand why you can't try it and see - all by default. (but yes your system would need 2 users) | 04:35 |
| cutterjohn | maybe I should go to a different chat room for my problem? | 04:35 |
| digitalfiz | nimbiotics, sounds liek the partitions werent cleanly unmounted so you may have to boot into windows and run chkdsk and reboot a few more times to fix the partition then boot back into ubuntu | 04:35 |
| keen101 | okay. nevermind. i guess Ctrl_Alt_F7 exits from the strange terminals.....wierd. Thanks guys!!! | 04:36 |
| h07 | ZykoticK9: thats a mote point | 04:36 |
| natex | ZykoticK9: h07 sorry to butt in. but a single user can have two gui sessions. Use startx -- :1 for another gui session | 04:36 |
| h07 | ZykoticK9: only F7 is a GUI | 04:36 |
| natex | ZykoticK9: h07 man startx | 04:36 |
| guest1 | Press the key combination <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <F2>. You will be back to prompt login:. However, this is not a return to the top of the system - you just switched to another virtual terminal. Here you can register under a different name. Try to log in as the newly instigated user. Then press the key combination <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <F1>. You will return to the first screen. By default, Red Hat Linux opens when you start 6 parallel sessions of work (virtual terminals) | 04:36 |
| korben | [keen101]: lol that is not a strange terminal that is the actuall terminal | 04:36 |
| ZykoticK9 | natex, i wouldn't do that if i where you. that feature was removed from GDM for a reason. | 04:37 |
| korben | [keen101]: and u get to it by alt+F1 alt+F2 and get away from it with alt+F7 | 04:37 |
| natex | ZykoticK9: what's the reason? | 04:37 |
| therealpsychx | sixofour: I'm trying to figure it out, hold on a sec. | 04:37 |
| korben | [keen101]: that is the actuall linux terminal :P | 04:37 |
| sixofour | k | 04:37 |
| nimbiotics | digitalfiz: i ran chkdsk a while ago on both disks, booted back to windows and then back to ubuntu; same thing :( | 04:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | natex, multiple files in home dir being written at the same time. | 04:37 |
| keen101 | okay, then why cant i type anyhting in that terminal? | 04:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | natex, i believe it only messes with the user account, it's not really a system issue. | 04:37 |
| h07 | a user cant have two gui terminals by default | 04:37 |
| korben | [keen101]: u have to login | 04:37 |
| korben | [keen101]: because it is a terminal like "outside" of the desktop enviroment | 04:38 |
| keen101 | interesting. | 04:38 |
| kisuke | !ipv6 >kisuke | 04:38 |
| ubottu | kisuke, please see my private message | 04:38 |
| natex | ZykoticK9: I see. not really an issue unless you have a clone of yourself working remotely :) | 04:38 |
| oo | does anyone get random crashes with xchat-gnome? | 04:38 |
| digitalfiz | nimbiotics, you have to run chkdsk and fix all problems then reboot into windows a few times im not sure why but you have to do it a few times in a row then boot into ubuntu some weird ntfs quirk | 04:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | natex, which you would have if you have 2 Xorg sessions running at the same time - it's not even remote! | 04:38 |
| oo | it happens to me all the time on lucid 64bit so i've switched to irssi | 04:38 |
| korben | [keen101]: it just works parallel with the desktop enviroment and u get back to your desktop with alt+F7 | 04:39 |
| nimbiotics | digitalfiz: roger, will try, thanks! | 04:39 |
| Jordan_U | nimbiotics: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo blkid"? | 04:39 |
| natex | ZykoticK9: :) | 04:39 |
| keen101 | cool. Never knew that before. | 04:39 |
| korben | basicly keen101 when u start console terminal from gnome it is gnome's terminal | 04:39 |
| keen101 | Korben, yeah i knew that. | 04:39 |
| cutterjohn | are there any other channles than -dev that are better than this? | 04:39 |
| h07 | ZykoticK9: 2 Xorg sessions running how? | 04:39 |
| cutterjohn | where someone might have a clue? | 04:40 |
| korben | but the one u see with alt+F1 is like the console of linux it self not of gnome | 04:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | oo, use the real xchat instead of xchat-gnome, just my opinion mind you - might not be worth much ;) | 04:40 |
| oo | keen101: consider that Unix and Linux have been around for a long time, before the window managers and X and stuff like that, so it was a way to switch between programs. Now you can do stuff like run multiple users at the same time | 04:40 |
| chris_osx | morning | 04:40 |
| natex | cutterjohn: about what? | 04:40 |
| nimbiotics | Jordan_U: http://dpaste.com/222606/ | 04:40 |
| korben | [keen101]: so there are terminals till F6 and F7 closes them | 04:40 |
| oo | Yeah I switched to irssi but i'll try that | 04:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | !attitude | cutterjohn | 04:40 |
| ubottu | cutterjohn: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 04:40 |
| Jordan_U | nimbiotics: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/" ? | 04:41 |
| oo | I just want something in the ubutu repositories so I get security updates | 04:41 |
| keen101 | Hmm.. okay. Yeah, i wasnt really around when Unix was dominant. | 04:41 |
| korben | [keen101]: well actually not closes them just switches back to graffic | 04:41 |
| digitalfiz | cutterjohn, i dont think there is a helpful channel for poor attitudes lol good luck though | 04:41 |
| === travis is now known as Guest69819 | ||
| keen101 | my first computer ran DOS. :( | 04:41 |
| h07 | keen101: ubuntu ISNT unix :P | 04:41 |
| keen101 | h07: yes i know. | 04:42 |
| guest1 | [keen101] you can use virtual terminal to kill some processes when your GUI dektop "has hanged" | 04:42 |
| nimbiotics | Jordan_U: no output | 04:42 |
| therealpsychx | sixofour: Something you can try is going to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager, then search for something called: gpointing-device-settings | 04:42 |
| korben | so u where arround when linux came up ;p | 04:42 |
| korben | heheheheh | 04:42 |
| Guest69819 | does anyone have trouble with this site? i cant get it to load all the way whatsoever: http://on-disk.com/product_info.php/products_id/866 | 04:42 |
| keen101 | haha | 04:42 |
| sixofour | k | 04:42 |
| korben | if u say no u have to be going to elementary school by now | 04:42 |
| therealpsychx | sixofour: It basically gives you more control over the settings for the touchpad. | 04:42 |
| Guest69819 | its a site for free xubuntu cd | 04:42 |
| Jordan_U | nimbiotics: That's good, you should now be able to access you files from "My Media" by going to Filesystem > mnt ("ls /mnt"). | 04:42 |
| livingdaylight | hi, FF and chrome both flash plugin crash when trying to load express.paltalk, a web-based paltalk client. Anyone, advise me? | 04:43 |
| therealpsychx | sixofour: Also, check out this Ubuntuforums post.. I'll PM it to you. | 04:43 |
| Omar_pimentel | Hi everyone | 04:43 |
| Jordan_U | nimbiotics: Of course that's only one of the two ntfs partitions you have. | 04:43 |
| keen101 | It's very easy to confuse myself. | 04:43 |
| h07 | keen101: linux is a UNIX clone | 04:43 |
| korben | [livingdaylight]: have u downloaded the latest flash plugin? | 04:44 |
| korben | 10.1 ? | 04:44 |
| Omar_pimentel | I have a problem connecting to my wireless network in ubuntu, I have the version 10.4, my wireless card is RTL8187 and it see the network but cant connect | 04:44 |
| Evolution-X | hey guys i run dd if=/dev/sda of=~/disk1.img and get dd: opening `/dev/sda': Permission denied | 04:44 |
| keen101 | Isnt OSX Unix with a bunch of proprietary mish-mosh added on top? | 04:44 |
| Evolution-X | i want to make a image for backup purposes | 04:44 |
| Jordan_U | Guest88149: It's loading very slowly for me, probably a server side problem. | 04:44 |
| oo | Omar_pimental: did you upgrade form an earlier version of Ubuntu, and do you have access to an internet connection over ethernet? | 04:44 |
| nimbiotics | Jordan_U: sorry, im a noob and cant understand your previous message, still tryng to figure it out | 04:44 |
| h07 | keen101: no OS uese linux! | 04:45 |
| livingdaylight | please, can someone help me? | 04:45 |
| digitalfiz | keen101, osx has a bsd core | 04:45 |
| Omar_pimentel | The connection worked fine a few days ago | 04:45 |

| keen101 | okay. thanks the help!! bye! | 04:45 |
| h07 | keen101:an auful lot! | 04:45 |
| natex | Evolution-X: you may need to write the image to another drive. Also, make sure you have proper write permissions. | 04:45 |
| livingdaylight | I'm on topic but ignored :/ | 04:45 |
| Jordan_U | nimbiotics: If you go to Places > Computer, then select "Filesystem", then select the directory there named "mnt", you will see the files from the partition named "My Media". | 04:46 |
| korben | [livingdaylight]: download the latest one 10.1 | 04:46 |
| korben | i answered u before | 04:46 |
| natex | livingdaylight: flash is spotty on linux. Are you using 64 bit? Or 32? | 04:46 |
| Evolution-X | i have mi ipod plugdin for that,,how i make sure i have permission | 04:46 |
| livingdaylight | natex, 32 - I think | 04:47 |
| Jordan_U | Evolution-X: You need to run that with sudo, but be *very* carefull with dd, accidentily switching if= and of= for instance can trash your entire drive. | 04:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | livingdaylight, i give natex's comment +1 | 04:47 |
| Evolution-X | ando how i send that to the ipod | 04:47 |
| korben | [Evolution-X]: run it with root console | 04:47 |
| Evolution-X | OMG | 04:47 |
| livingdaylight | but paltalk express is designed to work on Linux | 04:47 |
| Evolution-X | how can i backup then | 04:47 |
| natex | livingdaylight: other flash sites work? | 04:47 |
| hanasaki | have tomcat installed and put a WAR file in the webapps directory : why would it not be auto deployed? the server.xml is set to autodeploy | 04:47 |
| livingdaylight | natex, youtube etc, YES | 04:48 |
| korben | [livingdaylight]: Have you downloaded the LATEST 10.1 version ? | 04:48 |
| korben | of flash? | 04:48 |
| capleton | how do I restart X now that ctrl-alt-del is deprecated? | 04:48 |
| Evolution-X | y try to use grsync but have a virtual machine here too about 10G and stop the prosses because is too big the virtual machine | 04:48 |
| Jordan_U | Evolution-X: That command will work if you put "sudo " in front of it, if you want an option that is less likely to cause serious problems with a typo then try an app called clonezilla. | 04:48 |
| ZykoticK9 | livingdaylight, are you sure paltalk express is using only flash? could this be a java issue? | 04:48 |
| digitalfiz | capleton, power button :P | 04:48 |

| Evolution-X | where can i get clonezilla .iso so i can burn to disk and boot | 04:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | livingdaylight, are you using the default opensource java or the oracle/sun java (which is in the Partner repository, not turned on by default!) | 04:50 |

| livingdaylight | ZykoticK9, I don't think I@m using the opensource version of java - ice-tea - ? How can I tell for sure? | 04:51 |
| livingdaylight | pretty sure i'm using Sun's java | 04:51 |
| Jordan_U | nimbiotics: First try selecting it in Places > Computer. Is it listed there? | 04:51 |
| oo | livingdaylight: about:config in firefox's loxation bar | 04:51 |

| natex | livingdaylight: I'm using default Ubuntu java and flash. It's working for me. | 04:52 |
| livingdaylight | ZykoticK9, no, express is web-based and it says it runs on windown, max and linux on their site from any browser like ff and opera | 04:52 |
| === oo is now known as peepingtom | ||
| ZykoticK9 | livingdaylight, see natex's comment ;) good news | 04:52 |
| livingdaylight | natex, that's frustrating then | 04:52 |
| natex | livingdaylight: yeah | 04:53 |
| gogeta | livingdaylight: whats broken lol | 04:53 |
| livingdaylight | gogeta, my ubuntu it looks like, argh. | 04:53 |
| natex | livingdaylight: update your flash? | 04:53 |
| livingdaylight | natex, how so? | 04:53 |
| Jordan_U | nimbiotics: Odd, you can unmount your "My Media" partition and mount your "Win XP SP3" partition with "sudo umount /mnt/" then "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt". Then your | 04:53 |
| h07 | ah ok drop me on to that netwotk | 04:54 |
| gogeta | Jordan_U: flagged dirty ntfs will not automount he probly needs to boot xp and let chkdsk run | 04:54 |
| Jordan_U | nimbiotics: ... Then your "Win XP SP3" files will be available in /mnt (like your "My Media" files were before). | 04:54 |
| natex | livingdaylight: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer | 04:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | natex, what flash are you using? ie. how did you install it, more then the version number. | 04:54 |
| Tamnakz | I'm currently runing 8.10. Update suggests 9.04. If I update, what changes will I see? | 04:55 |
| ravic | hey can some1 tel me how to use mutt to download only unread mails from servers but nt all emails? | 04:55 |
| natex | ZykoticK9: livingdaylight: I'm using the adobe flashplugin installer | 04:55 |
| gogeta | Tamnakz: you can change that to go stragt to lucid | 04:55 |
| livingdaylight | natex, looks like I already have the newest version. And you're running sun's java or the opensource version which ubuntu is set to by default? | 04:55 |
| gogeta | Tamnakz: change your upgrade prefs from normal to lts | 04:55 |
| Jordan_U | gogeta: You can't upgrade directly from 9.04 to 10.04. | 04:56 |
| Tamnakz | gogeta, what's the difference? | 04:56 |
| gogeta | Jordan_U: hes on 8.10 | 04:56 |
| Jordan_U | gogeta: You can't upgrade directly from 8.10 either :) | 04:56 |
| natex | livingdaylight: java-common (non-Sun I think) | 04:56 |

| jpk_ | kisuke: I've tried using a 10.04 live disk to open the encrypted disks, but got the exact same results. | 05:00 |
| Jordan_U | nimbiotics: Yes. I'm surprised that the partitions don't show up in Places > Computer, but there's nothing wrong with mounting manually (or setting them up to always mount via fstab). | 05:00 |
| Jordan_U | !fstab | nimbiotics | 05:00 |
| ubottu | nimbiotics: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 05:00 |

| kisuke | jpk_: it looks like the key file might have disapeared, you might want to try fsck, not sure what parameters you would need though | 05:01 |
| Jordan_U | nimbiotics: Did you get any error message with that seccond mount command? | 05:02 |
| nimbiotics | Jordan_U: none | 05:02 |
| Jordan_U | gogeta: And in my experience "unclean" ntfs filesystems show up in nautilus but give an error message when you try to access them. | 05:02 |
| gogeta | Jordan_U: yea mounting reead only | 05:03 |
| gogeta | Jordan_U: strange | 05:03 |
| Jordan_U | gogeta: Since he's getting no error messages his ntfs partitions are not dirty. | 05:03 |
| Jordan_U | gogeta: Indeed. | 05:03 |
| nimbiotics | Jordan_U: What about the "error mounting 'blkid? does that have to do with my problem? | 05:04 |
| gogeta | Jordan_U: acully i rember this issue it was due to some old files after a upgarde braking automount but i cant rember the fix | 05:04 |
| ubuser | i was wondering if i downloaded the dependencies for something do i need a specific one for each version of ubuntu ( breezy,dapper, Feisty Fawn, Gutsy Gibbon)) | 05:04 |
| gogeta | Jordan_U: you had to remove a package and it fixes it but i cant rember the name | 05:04 |
| nimbiotics | Jordan_U: BTW, the single quote is in the message, its not a typo ('blkid) | 05:04 |
| mrpoundsign | quck Q... how, in the recovery console, do I remount / as read/write? | 05:05 |
| Jordan_U | nimbiotics: It's likely, though I don't know what that error message means. | 05:05 |
| nimbiotics | Jordan_U: also, this error message estops boot process | 05:05 |
| ubuser | or does zlib v1.2.3 work on all versions of ubuntu | 05:05 |
| jpk_ | kisuke: both key files are still there & remain unchanged from when I originally created them; cryptsetup luksDump still shows all the same info as before as well. | 05:05 |
| jpk_ | I can't fsck because it's a luks partition, not an ext.. | 05:06 |
| nimbiotics | Jordan_U: well, im going to try fstab and see what happens | 05:06 |
| abhijit | hello | 05:06 |
| iflema | ubuser what does zlib depend on? | 05:06 |
| bruttotempo | ciao | 05:06 |
| nimbiotics | Jordan_U, ubottu: Thanks a lot!! | 05:06 |
| Jordan_U | nimbiotics: You're welcome. | 05:06 |
| kisuke | jpk_: are you sure you have the PW right? | 05:06 |
| gogeta | Jordan_U: mani cant rember lol | 05:06 |
| bruttotempo | weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee | 05:06 |
| bruttotempo | nessuno parla italiano? | 05:07 |
| Jordan_U | nimbiotics: ubottu is a channel bot by the way (not a human). | 05:07 |
| gogeta | Jordan_U: its due to the new system and the old sstems packages being not removed | 05:07 |
| nimbiotics | Jordan_U: lol, thanks! | 05:07 |
| jpk_ | kisuke: it doesn't have a password, it uses a key file, and it is correct; I have backups of the file as well. | 05:07 |
| ubuser | is ubuntu OS/2 | 05:08 |
| kisuke | jpk_: diff keyfile backup_of_keyfile? | 05:08 |
| jpk_ | kisuke: the md5 sums are the same.. | 05:08 |
| capleton | Hi all. Does anyone know why a multi-touch capable (eee 1201n) system would register two fingers as two seperate touches rather than one large, wide touch? | 05:08 |
| capleton | the best would be if someone knew how i could fix it ;-) | 05:09 |
| kisuke | jpk_: files are in the correct spot? | 05:09 |
| gogeta | Jordan_U: thats the packge remove usbmount | 05:09 |
| jpk_ | mrpoundsign: to remount / to rw, "mount -o remount -o rw /" should work. | 05:09 |
| jpk_ | kisuke: yep, though I can specify where to look with cryptsetup luksOpen.. | 05:10 |
| gogeta | Jordan_U: and hal | 05:10 |
| gogeta | Jordan_U: those 2 get left behind on a upgrade and screw with the automount system | 05:10 |
| === oo is now known as peepingtom | ||
| mrpoundsign | jpk: thnaks :) | 05:11 |
| kisuke | jpk_: humor me, and try to open the file wiht the backup | 05:12 |
| gogeta | nimbiotics: i managed to dig up your mounts not showing issue usbmount and hal dont get removed on a upgrade from 9.04 and screw up that automount system removing them fixes it | 05:12 |
| jpk_ | kisuke: I already have, both replacing the file in /etc for bootup as well as just using the cryptsetup luksOpen.. | 05:13 |
| kisuke | do you have a backup of the container? | 05:13 |
| juju2143 | hi, you know how to find the screen resolution of the purple splashscreen at the start in Lucid? | 05:14 |
| abhijit | bye | 05:14 |
| kisuke | juju2143: settings>startup? (or somehting like that.) | 05:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | juju2143, are you using nvidia proprietary drivers? If so i think it's like 800x600 (or maybe smaller even) | 05:15 |
| ubuser | im trying to download snes its saying i need djgpp v2, and its making me choose from windows unix msdos os/2 or dosemu.?! | 05:15 |
| juju2143 | ZykoticK9, got ATI | 05:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | juju2143, the bootup stuff is call Plymouth | 05:15 |
| jpk_ | kisuke: I do now. :-) and I've tried opening that w/ luksOpen, but same problem.. I don't from before when it was working, I only have an un-encrypted dump (from a while ago) | 05:15 |
| juju2143 | ZykoticK9, it's the framebuffer right? | 05:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | s/call/called | 05:15 |
| ubuser | k thx | 05:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | juju2143, NOT "really" but kinda "yes". | 05:16 |
| cornwallis_ | anyone know how to made the default max volume higher. every time i want to listen to music I have to go to system>preferences>sound and change the output to be above 100%. is there a way to move the "150%" to 100? | 05:16 |
| Rev | Hi | 05:16 |
| niglop | instead of downloading xubuntu can i download ubuntu and then just install xfce? | 05:16 |
| Rev | Any Ubuntu guru's around | 05:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | niglop, yes | 05:16 |
| kisuke | jpk_: im you have any oldre backups that work?, i dont use encrypted drives atm, so im not as familar as id like | 05:16 |
| niglop | kk thanks | 05:16 |
| juju2143 | So if I boot from the live cd I get a decent resolution for that Plymouth thing and from the HD a rather low resolution | 05:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | !purexfce | niglop | 05:17 |
| ubottu | niglop: 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 » | 05:17 |
| juju2143 | so I want to set the resolution to the one on the live cd | 05:17 |
| tucemiux | cornwallis_, sounds like a bug, you mean you change the volume in the "sound" applet but after you reboot you have to change that setting again? | 05:17 |
| niglop | thanks ZykoticK9 | 05:17 |
| jpk_ | kisuke: no, I don't generally back up the whole encrypted drives.. I have some older backups, but have some pretty important stuff on the drive that was done recently.. | 05:17 |
| tucemiux | niglop, yes but that will kind of defeat the purpose, it's like getting the whole burguer when youre a vegeterian an all you want is lettuce and tomato | 05:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | juju2143, if you are using proprietary ATI then i can see you getting poor Plymouth resolution. But is getting worse Xorg drivers really worth getting a few seconds of good Plymouth resolution? | 05:18 |
| jpk_ | kisuke: I've re-learned everything I knew about encrypting again awfully quick! :-) | 05:18 |
| cornwallis_ | tucemiux. the setting for output volume will stay the same after a reboot. but if I have to drop it below 100% then when I press the volume up button it won't go past 100% | 05:18 |
| niglop | lol tucemiux i want to see what gnome is like (only used xfce before) | 05:18 |
| Rev | Any ubuntu guru's able to have a quick pm conversation, just I'm heavily confused about a problem with installation and harddrives. | 05:18 |
| kisuke | jpk_: what application are you using? | 05:19 |
| niglop | im switching from mint to ubuntu because it has a more active community | 05:19 |
| kisuke | !wicd | 05:19 |
| cornwallis_ | its just the 100% is not loud enough for mostt media | 05:19 |
| tucemiux | niglop, if you already have xfce you can install gnome | 05:19 |
| wizard_ | hi... anyone having probs with java after updates? | 05:19 |
| jpk_ | kisuke: it is actually an LVM under the encrypted array, with multiple VMs running; the only stumbling block is just getting the luks partition to work with it's key file... | 05:20 |
| puff | I recently jumped from edgy to lucid, anybody know what the latest emacs verison in edgy was? Or is there any way I could determine this from my backup files? | 05:20 |
| niglop | tucemiux: im on mint, im installing ubuntu | 05:20 |
| Rev | Help anyone? | 05:20 |
| niglop | tucemiux: but i dont know if i should go straight to xubuntu or test out the normal thing and then install xfce afterwards | 05:20 |
| * kisuke looks up at what jpk_ just said | 05:20 | |
| tucemiux | cornwallis_, then it sounds like it's an application related issue. What do you mean by you the volume "button" up? I thought you were changing the volume using the "sound" applet? | 05:20 |
| ZykoticK9 | Rev, why not state your issue/problem/question here so EVERYONE can look at it? | 05:20 |
| juju2143 | ZykoticK9, I get a decent 1600x900 and good 3D | 05:21 |
| tucemiux | niglop, is mint ubuntu based? | 05:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | juju2143, oh man 1600x900 can you read terminals ok? isnt' that really small? | 05:21 |
| kisuke | !mint | tucemiux | 05:21 |
| ubottu | tucemiux: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) | 05:21 |
| falckon | where are the menu entries for a user's gnome menu saved? my friend has nothing in his applications menu | 05:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | juju2143, ctrl+alt+f1 type terminals | 05:21 |
| Rev | ZykoticK9: because everyone is talking so quick it won't get answered | 05:21 |
| juju2143 | ZykoticK9, oh not terminal, xorg | 05:21 |
| randy_ | Rev: its hard to tell who can help you because you need to just go ahead and describe your problem :) | 05:21 |
| juju2143 | ZykoticK9, I get a low resolution | 05:22 |
| jpk_ | it's definitely not simple, but I've not had any problems before; it's been running like a champ for a little over 2 years now; multiple reboots the whole nine yards.. | 05:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | juju2143, what i'm saying is you'd have to remove your good/proprietary drivers, and install the opensource drivers to get the good Plymouth resolutions. | 05:22 |
| sam92 | Hi, I have a classroom setup with Ubuntu 8.04 and LTSP. I want to upgrade to 10.04 and I want to use the Alternate CD for it. What about the packages which are not on the CD? Will they stay unupdated until I update them manually or will they be deinstalled? | 05:22 |
| juju2143 | ZykoticK9, ah ok. | 05:23 |
| juju2143 | ZykoticK9, so I won't get 3D? | 05:23 |
| Rev | ZykoticK9: I'm having trouble installing Ubuntu. Ubuntu see's my partitioned drive that I'd like to install to, however gparted says the drive the partition is held is unallocated. When I try to install, I can't find the partition I want to install onto. | 05:23 |
| nimbiotics | gogeta: sorry it took me so long to see your message. How do I remove usbmount and hal? TIA! | 05:23 |
| tucemiux | niglop, you can try ubuntu on a virtual machine if youre already using linux mint | 05:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | juju2143, minimal at best? you using ATI - i'm NOT the person to ask. | 05:23 |
| cornwallis_ | tucemiux: when i want to listen to music I have to go to ubuntu's sound settings and change the output volume to 150%, but if I need to turn it down later to say 50%, and then I use the volume up buttons on my PC it will only go back up to 100%. i was just wondering if there was a way to increase the DB level of the output volume's 100% | 05:23 |
| juju2143 | ok thx ZykoticK9 i'll try | 05:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | Rev, that didn't have to be directed at me ;) it's for EVERYONE to look at. | 05:24 |
| randy_ | Rev: is there any chance that was partitioned with Mac or something like that? | 05:24 |
| cornwallis_ | that way I dont always have to navigate to the volume settings for the change | 05:24 |
| Rev | No | 05:24 |
| randy_ | Rev: is there anything on the drive that you would like to keep? or is it just partitioned externally but essentially empty? | 05:24 |
| Rev | The drive must be kept, it stores a lot of essential things | 05:25 |
| Rev | I created a 24gb partition on there when I first bought the drive, so I could run ubuntu | 05:26 |
| tucemiux | cornwallis_, i use alsa gnome mixer for that and I attach the applet to my panel, that way when I have to change the volume I click on the applet and the volume app shows, I only use the volume buttons on my laptop when I want to lower the button right away, for example if I get a phone call, or need to mute the volume | 05:26 |
| puff | http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/8gzr9hcL | 05:26 |
| randy_ | Rev: is it a strange partition type? | 05:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | Rev, start the LiveCD and in at terminal run "sudo fdisk -l" and it should show all parititions the OS sees. | 05:26 |
| cornwallis_ | tucemiux: i will just try that. thanks | 05:27 |

| Colonel_Panic | My nick is registered | 05:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | Rev, it should! but it's not currently formatted. If you are worried about installing, select the option during formatting/partitioning for largest free space, and it should automatically install there! FYI you should have a backup of your system BEFORE trying to install Ubuntu. | 05:35 |

| tucemiux | ssd7_, using suspend/resume is flaky on my laptop, that's why I never use it, if windows does weird things you can probably expect linux to do weird things as well, I personally never use it unless off course I do it inadvertently, I've lucked out and never had a problem waking my laptop up with linux but then again I suppose its just a matter of time so I generally dont do it | 05:36 |

| andresj | Hello, ever since upgrading to Lucid, some programs fail with Segmentation Fault predictably. For example, most gtksourceview programs (including gedit) crash at specific times of selecting/typing quote characters. It gets quite annoying after a while, which is why I started using Kate. Inform7 crashes when I click on the Go or Replay button. Is there any way I can diagnose this? The command line only says "Segmantation Faul | 05:40 |

| === cn1109_ is now known as cn1109 | ||
| tucemiux | ssd7_, i suggest you follow that bug report and post to it as well, if enough people post on it it'll grab someone's attention, eventually | 05:40 |
| kisuke | andresj: have you updated everything? | 05:40 |
| soreau | andresj: Ubuntu dist upgrades can be problematic. I'd recommend installing fresh | 05:40 |
| soreau | _hoop: Read the links ubottu gave. You can use your browser | 05:41 |
| andresj | soreau: I was told otherwise---specialyl since the installer doesn't work properly anymore on my computer. | 05:41 |

| soreau | andresj: If the installer didn't work, that's a good sign an upgrade wont either | 05:42 |
| soreau | andresj: Is it an older machine? | 05:42 |
| ssd7_ | ZykoticK9: I don't think that is the same bug I've having | 05:42 |

| juju2143 | now how I switch from the proprietary to free driver? | 05:42 |

| juju2143 | for ati | 05:42 |
| soreau | andresj: Hm.. should work then.. | 05:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | ssd7_, i really just went on your model and the bug title, i didn't check to close, so I'm glad you did! | 05:43 |
| andresj | soreau: I think the problem with the installer had to do with using neoveau instead of nvidia driver, though. I sidestepped that by doing a dist upgrade and enabling nvidia driver. | 05:43 |
| soreau | andresj: Is it anything weird like non-intel or 64bit? | 05:43 |

| tucemiux | ssd7_, my advice is to go ahead and add yourself as affected by the bug if the symptoms are the ***same*** as you are experiencing otherwise file a bug report of your own, that is really the only way to get bugs fixed, people reporting them and the developers fixing them, I had sound problems on both laptop and desktop -- they were fixed on my desktop and to a bearable degree on my laptop | 05:46 |
| jpk_ | kisuke: heh, nice typo--I have a phone call scheduled w/ Canonical tomorrow morning. :-( | 05:46 |
| ssd7_ | ZykoticK9: Generically yes, but the problem I am having is, I think, more of an ACPI problem. I can resume and suspend with no problem using the power menu. The problem is that no ACPI event is triggered when I close the lid AFTER resuming from a suspend. | 05:46 |

| thetabyte | thanks wrek! | 05:49 |
| tucemiux | Ubiedoodie, first "ps aux|grep NetworkManager; sudo killall NetworkManager" and let me know if the network manager applet shows up | 05:50 |

| soreau | oh yea, I forgot chmod -x `which NetworkManager` :p | 05:50 |
| thetabyte | is there anyway to remove the system tray from the gnome-panel? like the icons put there by skype, xchat, dropbox, etc.? | 05:51 |

| Ubiedoodie | ok will try | 05:51 |
| subcool | could anyone help me with a vpn and my iphone?? i was on efnet, but they are hardasses | 05:51 |
| vikasap | !sound | 05:52 |
| ubottu | 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. | 05:52 |
| subcool | hhmm !VPN | 05:52 |
| andresj | soreau: well at this point it really isn't a choice. i don't have a lot of free time to do it, and i'm getting a new laptop anyway---in which i will have to decide what to install :P | 05:52 |
| subcool | i tried- lol | 05:52 |
| soreau | andresj: You might as well use a pay-for OS that requires less time and smarts then | 05:53 |
| glick | is that possible? | 05:53 |
| Ubiedoodie | tucemiux: did as performed but no applet still | 05:53 |
| hasen | hi, if I'm editing a gtkrc file, can I see changes immediately? or is there a command that I can run to tell the system that gtkrc has changed? (without using a gui) | 05:54 |
| subcool | here, actually ill explain a bit more-- i was looking for a good ubuntu L2TP server i think. i had installed openvpn- but it didnt work out well. | 05:54 |
| tucemiux | Ubiedoodie, can you hook your laptop to a wired connection and: sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome | 05:54 |
| tucemiux | Ubiedoodie, actually -- first, do you know how to use paste? | 05:55 |
| Ubiedoodie | tucemiux: the wired connection fails also... this machine is a friends and was running fine. I don't understand what happened.. | 05:55 |
| andresj | soreau: [gasp] "less time and smarts"---just for that i'll keep ubuntu :P No, the choice is between Ubuntu and Fedora. But def keeping linux cuz i love the Unix feel. And MacOSX isn't an option for the price. | 05:55 |
| randy_ | glick: yes, its possible | 05:56 |
| mcurran | Anyone here know how to write a sort script - I wanna add a startup script in KDE that sorts my desktop icons after a sleep/pause of about 15 seconds at startup (i.e. Autostart folder). Can anyone help me out? | 05:56 |
| Ubiedoodie | tucemiux: I am on another machine right now. The problem machine is right next to me | 05:56 |
| glick | randy_, do you know how i can set that up? | 05:56 |
| randy_ | glick: it can just become really tricky ;) | 05:56 |
| tucemiux | Ubiedoodie, the network files get corrupt or misconfigured in dell machines, you have to first configure the wired connection then the wireless connection | 05:56 |
| soreau | andresj: It will require time, testing, reading many frustrations. Also, segfaults means something is fundamentally wrong which is why I suggest starting over with a clean install | 05:56 |
| === root is now known as Guest83670 | ||
| randy_ | glick: mostly, its really similar to setting up TwinView or something like that with Nvidia/ATI, etc... but just with two different drivers running two different monitors on two different instances of an Xserver | 05:57 |
| tucemiux | which file lets you configure your network device??? | 05:57 |
| randy_ | glick: lemme see if i can't find something on the interwebs that can help ;) | 05:57 |
| Ubiedoodie | tucemiux: that makes sense... I will try that. Is there a solution to prevent this again. | 05:57 |
| glick | thanks i tried a search but couldnt find snything | 05:58 |
| tucemiux | Ubiedoodie, dont reimage your machine? Or learn how to fix it? I've had to fix the wireless every time I reimaged my laptop, once or twice I had to fix the wired connection | 05:58 |
| Ubiedoodie | ok | 05:58 |
| randy_ | glick: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=53966 this refers to what you're looking for. just keep in mind that you're gonna specify *different* drivers for the intel/nvidia obviously | 05:58 |

| andresj | soreau: yes, i wonder a lot what it could cause it, though. to prevent it from happening. | 06:00 |

| randy_ | glick: simply because you unplug that monitor often shouldn't deter you from setting this up. once you've got it working, its more of a gnome thing to set up which monitor acts as your primary for the menu's etc... | 06:02 |

| randy_ | glick: for example, i run dual-monitor off one Nvidia card. My old and crummy monitor--which shows crazy colors occasionally and will die one day--is just a leftward extention of my desktop which for all intensive purposes is completely useless except for the fact that i can watch movies on that monitor, or run commands and such while browsing. if i unplug it, i only lose my extension but not my whole functionality of my desktop | 06:04 |

| andresj | soreau: actually, using gdb i found out that what crashed Inform7 was the graphite library (activated because i have pango-graphite installed). This would explain why it only happened in some GTK apps. I'll start using Gedit and see if this fixes things. ##linux was pretty simple and helpful here :P | 06:15 |
| actionparsnip | _hoop: why are you in the root group.. weird. anyway you seem to be in the right groups. You could try running the printer app with gksudo | 06:15 |

| tucemiux | alphagas, i once had that problem, what i did is I removed the hard drive from the laptop and installed it on another laptop, installed xubuntu then put the hard drive to the original machine | 06:17 |
| _hoop | actionparsnip: what you mean " You could try running the printer app with gksudo | 06:17 |
| actionparsnip | alphagas: have you MD5 tested your ISO before butrning? Did you burn as slowly as you were allowed? Did you test the CD for defects? Did you test your RAM? | 06:17 |
| lostinspace_46 | tucemiux, Because I am dual booting...I have grub, I just want the graphical menu manager for it | 06:17 |
| kasun | alphagas, be little more descriptive. then people who knows it well will respond | 06:17 |
| Flannel | nimbiotics: No. But you'll need to get to a state where you can edit your fstab (which is a file), and a LiveCD is probably the easiest way you're going to get there. | 06:17 |
| snowrichard | printer worked fine, i never had to set it up :) | 06:17 |
| illac | alphagas: check your hardware and make sure it's compatible, I had an old sony that had similiar issues and it tied back to some proprietary hardware that wasn't compatible | 06:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | lostinspace_46, i'm not even sure what "Grub Graphical menu Manager" is, but are you using Grub2 (default lucid grub version)? and if so, is your program grub2 compabitle? i doubt it. | 06:17 |
| actionparsnip | _hoop: maybe your system has a weirdness in it right now, if you run it with gksudo you should be able to install a printer | 06:18 |
| tucemiux | lostinspace_46, if no one in here is able to help you then head over to #grub, this channel is for ubuntu support | 06:18 |

| tucemiux | lostinspace_46, so basically you want to use grub to boot up your OSes? what OSes are you using? | 06:24 |
| Luija1006 | no | 06:24 |
| illac | Luija1006: we didn't have the hear to tell ya :( | 06:24 |

| Gnea | !helpme | 06:25 |
| ubottu | Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude | 06:25 |
| * rmrfboy | 06:25 | |
| lostinspace_46 | I want to mod the screen | 06:25 |
| tucemiux | Ubiedoodie, that's right, you knock on the wirerless router that way, then ask for an IP: sudo dhclient | 06:25 |
| Gnea | !ask | 06:25 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 06:25 |
| illac | subcool: what kind of experience, setting up or connecting? | 06:26 |
| actionparsnip | _hoop: according to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R91MXHasjSM you can select samba... | 06:26 |
| subcool | hhmm- both. Illac - but ill go with setting up.. | 06:26 |
| Gnea | Luija1006: is sound working for any other java apps? | 06:26 |
| KE1HA | subcool, have you been though this first: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNClient | 06:26 |

| subcool | well- thats the client side, i really need a server. | 06:27 |
| ubottu | subcool: vpnc (source: vpnc): Cisco-compatible VPN client. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.5.3r449-2 (lucid), package size 80 kB, installed size 264 kB | 06:27 |
| subcool | and from what i see i need L2TP | 06:27 |
| _hoop | anyone on Teamspeak3? thank knows anything about CUPs and PRINTing | 06:27 |
| illac | subcool: my client of choice, but we only run Cisco stuff for work, that's my only experience :/ | 06:27 |
| subcool | i wish my sh!t box could handle IPSec | 06:27 |
| subcool | ya, im a cisco man myself, its just a bit of a hassle | 06:27 |
| KE1HA | Cicso is costs $$$ but it has the best support. It's what we use also. | 06:28 |
| subcool | maybe when i start working with stuff that that requires the encryption | 06:28 |
| subcool | nah- i know a bunch about cisco, and its really easy | 06:28 |
| subcool | just lenghty | 06:28 |
| alphagas | illac: are you still here? | 06:28 |
| subcool | i took a cople classes, it makes complete sense, | 06:29 |
| lostinspace_46 | tucemiux, Just curious..how do you know no one is in the grub channel, since it is listing 62 users? | 06:29 |

| illac | alphagas: hmmm | 06:31 |
| tucemiux | lostinspace_46, so you want to install grub in your machine? | 06:31 |
| subcool | and between explaining what we are working on we are discussing other things, Liek the ussage of cisco- So as i had state from before, thatnks for the clients. im obviously gonna need it, but i was look for the assistance for the server side software. Which is what seems to be the issue. | 06:31 |
| alphagas | illac, I have seen many threads and posts about having this problem on toshiba laptops and some workarounds but none of them work for me | 06:32 |
| illac | alphagas: give me a few minutes to dig around and see what I can turn up | 06:32 |
| alphagas | everything from trying to install karmic and update that way etc, but even that won't install, I just get a black screen | 06:32 |

| tucemiux | lostinspace_46, ive never tried it but it looks like fun, if you dont mind me using as a guinea pig we can both look at that site and we can go step by step, I need to remind you though that if you hose your installation you might have to reinstall grub | 06:36 |

| lostinspace_46 | tucemiux, Well, you any good with bazaar...the app is there, I just can't seem to get it | 06:37 |
| tucemiux | lostinspace_46, you dont want to download an ***app***. You want to make grub2 look pretty, that is what you are trying to do, if you use the correct terminology people might help you specially the ones that have done that | 06:37 |
| lostinspace_46 | tuc feel free to PM | 06:37 |
| alphagas | illac: well, I'm not trying to install the netbook version :-/ and I'm installing off of a CD | 06:37 |
| tucemiux | lostinspace_46, sudo apt-get install bzr ??? | 06:37 |
| KE1HA | kurtis, wine + PlayOnLinux is a good combination. | 06:38 |

| kurtis | I have been using Unbuntu for the last 2 years and I feel its time to switch it up | 06:38 |

| drcasper | guys .. one quick question only.. i have a vaio laptop i just bought a SSD drive for .. what partition format should i be using.. f4 f3? | 06:38 |
| KE1HA | I was suprised, after a few tweeks, 10.04 is really pretty good. | 06:38 |
| tucemiux | lostinspace_46, first you want to download images and put them in "/grub/themes/icons", there shoud be a directory in your hard drive named that way | 06:39 |
| Gnea | drcasper: what's F3/F4? | 06:39 |
| KE1HA | exty4 is not much diffrent that ext3 in my opinion, but there's advocates of both. | 06:39 |
| drcasper | ext4. sorry .. | 06:39 |
| lostinspace_46 | tucemiux, I don't want to get too off-topic in channel...but I will rephrase..I don't need an app I need software that makes grub pretty...better? | 06:39 |
| KE1HA | I went with the default EXT4 .. but have several machines running EXT3 | 06:39 |
| Gnea | drcasper: ext4 should do just fine | 06:40 |
| actionparsnip | drcasper: ext2 will make it last longer | 06:40 |
| greezmunkey | tucemiux: http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com/DistroDownloads#Ubuntu | 06:40 |
| drcasper | thanks guys ..:) | 06:40 |
| tucemiux | lostinspace_46, what OS are you using? | 06:40 |
| mercury_halo | how to disable the scroll wheel of the mouse? | 06:40 |
| _hoop | actionparsnip wow.... simple.... [ sudo service cups restart ] | 06:41 |
| ubuser | hey, i was wondering if anyone could help me? I am trying to find a snes emulator that will work on ubuntu 5.10, i know its an old version, i also dont have internet on this computer | 06:41 |
| drcasper | well.. i bought a SSD drive to see if it would be any faster but i gotta tell you, either the drive i bought is crap (branded patriot) or there is just very little difference on this particular laptop compared toa 72k rpm HD | 06:41 |
| lostinspace_46 | tucemiux, AHA..I am not clear..I have changed my background already...this software allows changing fro text to icons, and completely channging the LOOK of grub without changing the functionality | 06:41 |
| ubuser | right now i am trying zsnes and i got all the dependcies on a cd, but i want to download another emulator just to make sure | 06:41 |
| mercury_halo | how to disable the scroll wheel of the mouse? | 06:41 |
| SwedeMike | drcasper: then you probably bought the wrong one, because I have intel ssd:s in "all" my machines and it's a huge difference. | 06:42 |
| actionparsnip | _hoop: makes, sense. Ive seen a few folks say their cups wasn't running at boot. If you reboot and it's stopped, add "service cups restart" (without quotes) to /etc/rc.local above the exit line and it should fix it | 06:42 |
| sparky | ntu 64 bit yet? | 06:42 |
| ubuser | does anyone know of a snes emulator that will work for ubuntu 5.10 hopefully no dependencys | 06:42 |
| actionparsnip | !find snes | ubuser | 06:42 |
| ubottu | ubuser: Found: zsnes, snes9x-gtk, snes9x-x | 06:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | SwedeMike, does ubuntu currently support trim? | 06:42 |
| sparky | any body figure out how to get by flash on ubuntu 64 bit ? | 06:42 |
| KE1HA | drcasper, SSD are very fast, you will not see a diff in EXT3 or EXT4, but you will certainly see a Vast improvemnt over 5400 / 7200 rom drives. | 06:42 |
| lostinspace_46 | tucemiux, If I can't D/L the graphical manager, I guess I will find the correct .mod files to change | 06:42 |
| actionparsnip | ubuser: snes9x-gtk | 06:42 |
| SwedeMike | ZykoticK9: 10.10 might, I don't remember. Check the kernel version of each release, but I seem to remember it came around 2.6.33 or so | 06:43 |
| tucemiux | lostinspace_46, you can basically configure your grub on your own, I wouldnt trust an application to do it for me | 06:43 |
| actionparsnip | KE1HA: still uses slow ass SATA conections though so is capped at 300Mbps | 06:43 |
| mercury_halo | how to disable the scroll wheel of the mouse? | 06:43 |
| Gnea | actionparsnip: interesting... have you read this? http://thunk.org/tytso/blog/2009/03/01/ssds-journaling-and-noatimerelatime/ | 06:43 |
| ubuser | will i need to install some dependcys | 06:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | SwedeMike, so that's a no. Thanks, i was just googling about it before i read your reply above, thought i'd just ask :) | 06:44 |
| tucemiux | lostinspace_46, but if you insist on an application to do it for you then why dont you google for it, you dont want to tell me what OSes you use so im showing you the way I would do it on ubuntu | 06:44 |
| lostinspace_46 | tucemiux, You are prolly right..like I said I will see if I can find the right grub files to modify | 06:44 |
| KE1HA | rogetr that, but 3gbs vls 100mbs is a massive improvement. | 06:44 |
| spine | hi, is anyone here very familiar with kismet? | 06:44 |
| lostinspace_46 | Sorry Win7 and ubuntu lucid | 06:44 |
| KE1HA | Bott times are amazing, especially on Linux boxes, even with the Bloated Vista Machines I was astounded. | 06:45 |
| tucemiux | lostinspace_46, grub is grub, whatever OS you use it is still grub, there might be a few differences though, like how you name the files but it's still grub, no doubt about it | 06:45 |
| KE1HA | oops boot times.. | 06:45 |
| actionparsnip | Gnea: funky stuff. I tried to use the noatime option and it made my partition not mount | 06:45 |
| drcasper | guys do i need a swap file partition with a ssd ? | 06:45 |
| tucemiux | lostinspace_46, you have ubuntu lucid installed on your machine??? | 06:45 |
| spine | is anyone here very familiar with kismet? | 06:45 |
| Gnea | actionparsnip: o.O | 06:46 |

| ubuser | wow thx parsnip | 06:46 |
| lostinspace_46 | tucemiux, Well that is how I looked at it...I guess I will open s couple .mod files and see if I can make the changes I want there...it's all just cosmetics | 06:46 |
| ubuser | u think itll work on ub 5.1? | 06:46 |
| KE1HA | rrr will do, not used them before. | 06:46 |
| lostinspace_46 | tucemiux, Yes lucid is installed | 06:47 |
| tucemiux | lostinspace_46, if you want to install bazaar: sudo apt-get install bzr | 06:47 |

| actionparsnip | ubuser: if you can satisfy deps, sure why not | 06:49 |
| tucemiux | lostinspace_46, thats ok, dont worry aboutit, just ask away -- I dont know what package youre trying to download so cant help you there, usually they tell you how to do it if they use bazaar, but for now you can install a GUI that will help you modify grub to get you started | 06:49 |
| actionparsnip | KE1HA: only need a 10Gb one for / your user data rubbish can go on a SATA as speed is less necessary | 06:50 |
| hylian | after the update today i noticed that firebird greyes out the screen a lot, and that closing tabs also slows things down and greyes it. | 06:50 |

| KE1HA | would be nice to play with fer sure :-)_ | 06:50 |
| lostinspace_46 | tucemiux, And it IS in a bazaar branch | 06:50 |
| bazhang | kurtis, try #crunchbang as its not supported here | 06:50 |
| tucemiux | lostinspace_46, sudo apt-get install startupmanager ---> use startupmanager to change GRUB, if grub still doesnt look fancy enough then you can tru something more, before you do any changes to your grub, read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StartUpManager | 06:50 |
| kurtis | Alright. | 06:51 |
| ubuser | im actually on 9.10 so its cool | 06:51 |
| bazhang | ubuser, if thats the case then it should work | 06:51 |
| lostinspace_46 | tucemiux, I have done all the startupmanager allows | 06:51 |
| ubuser | linux works under ubuntu | 06:51 |
| ubuser | but i want the snes .e*e on my desktop | 06:52 |
| bazhang | ubuser, a launcher? | 06:52 |
| tucemiux | lostinspace_46, ok first lets download the software then, fire up a command prompt and go to a place where you want to download all the software, let me know when youre ready | 06:52 |
| actionparsnip | KE1HA: also if you use the toram cheat code for your OS, and have enough ram, you wont even touch the drive for OS activity as its already in ram | 06:52 |
| ubuser | yeah | 06:52 |
| ubuser | not a shortcut | 06:52 |
| ubuser | the whole snesx source | 06:52 |
| ubuser | but i dont know which to choose, linux? | 06:52 |
| bazhang | ubuser, that's not the way to install or run things | 06:53 |
| ubuser | i use terminal | 06:53 |
| KE1HA | ram is definately better than SSD, and it's cheap these days. | 06:53 |
| ubuser | it is from a cd | 06:53 |
| hylian | anyone else notice how slow firefox is? seamonkey is unaffected and so is epiphany...? | 06:53 |
| actionparsnip | KE1HA: exactly, its one thing that makes puppy great :) | 06:54 |
| lostinspace_46 | tucemiux, I am more than ready...but shouldn't we do this with PM? | 06:54 |
| KE1HA | Yes, FF has been slow on all the machines I've put 10.04 on, have not figured out why yet. | 06:54 |
| tucemiux | lostinspace_46, this is how you download the branch for that software: bzr branch http://grub.gibibit.com/bzr/gfxmenu | 06:54 |
| actionparsnip | KE1HA: you can make the ubuntu live cd do it too with some tweaks | 06:54 |
| ubuser | what was ubuntu written in/with | 06:54 |
| actionparsnip | ubuser: C and machine code most likely | 06:55 |
| hylian | well thanx all, im gonna crash | 06:55 |
| tucemiux | lostinspace_46, here is fine, i have never done this before so you want as much input as you can get | 06:55 |

| KE1HA | rr. I PXE boot about 15 machines for crunching numbers, works a treat with UB-Server. Exported /homes to an HD | 06:55 |

| KE1HA | I loaded Arora this eveing, haven't played with it much yet though. | 06:56 |
| spine | anyone here good with kismet? | 06:56 |

| juju2143 | ok now how I install radeonfb? | 07:02 |
| kaeles | so i installed lucid lynx on my htpc to replace the xbmc live cd i had been running for like 6 months now, and it works fine other than the sound will cut out after using it for awhile, for example, if I click on the sounds in the sound preference over and over for ~5 seconds, the sound cuts out, and is replaced by really scratchy deep sounds instead of the glass or barking or whatnot, its weird, never had an issue with xmbc live, | 07:02 |
| tucemiux | lostinspace_46, bazaar could also just be taking its time, good luck! If you need more help you want to ask for someone to help you configure grub2 for eye candy, good night | 07:02 |
| === Plinker_ is now known as Plinker | ||
| nimbiotics | Flannel: thanks, will try that and let you know in 10 | 07:03 |
| kaeles | anyone have a clue as to what would cause my sound to stop working correctly after playing sounds for ~5 to 30 seconds? | 07:04 |
| tucemiux | kaeles, sounds (no pun intended) like a bug with pulseaudio | 07:04 |
| subcool | KE1HA, hey- sorry about before, i was looking for the one i was trying to give flak to- and then i saw u said that, and i was like crap- my bad. | 07:04 |
| kaeles | tucemiux: ok, so how would i go about changing back to alsa, if thats possible? | 07:04 |
| lostinspace_46 | tucemiux, It's working..don't know how long it will take at 5-38kbs though. 38kbs is my top right now..upgrading to a whole 1meg tomorrow...wooohooo | 07:04 |
| KE1HA | no worries, been frustrated many times myself. | 07:04 |
| kaeles | maybe I will try turning on the realtime scheduling for the pulseaudio and see if that helps | 07:07 |
| kaeles | it only seems to cut out when i am making the machine "work" | 07:07 |
| lostinspace_46 | tucemiux Sry, closed the wrong window | 07:08 |

| Lazy^ | takes 4ever | 07:12 |
| Lazy^ | grr | 07:12 |
| lostinspace_46 | Lazy maybe unrar path/to/file use *.rar for filename | 07:13 |
| KE1HA | Lazy, do yourself a favor, and install all those compression utilities, 7zip, rar, lrzip p7zip etc, there small and save lots of nagging problems like that | 07:13 |
| lostinspace_46 | KE1HA, I think he is using strictly command line | 07:14 |
| lostinspace_46 | no GUI | 07:14 |
| KE1HA | even more reason to install them, atleast those that have CL ability. | 07:15 |
| nio | hello all | 07:15 |
| kaeles | did they switch to pulseaudio only in lucid? | 07:15 |
| kaeles | I mean, did they switch to using pulse audio in lucid, or was it used before | 07:16 |
| nio | which is the best for thinclient tmpfs or ramfs | 07:16 |
| lostinspace_46 | KE1HA, Ah, I see what you mean, I think he has at least rar since he can run unrar...his issue I think was opening several files at once | 07:17 |
| === Ttech is now known as Ttech2 | ||
| KE1HA | I woud do, at a minimum: sudo aptitude install unace rar unrar zip unzip | 07:18 |

| KE1HA | the first ones I have on all my headless servers. | 07:19 |
| lostinspace_46 | KE1HA, sudo apt-get install *.decompress | 07:20 |
| lostinspace_46 | LOL | 07:20 |
| KE1HA | I mostly use tar and gzip or bz2 for daily stuff | 07:20 |
| lostinspace_46 | KE1HA, Yeah, same here, except im my family's win install where I use rar | 07:21 |
| nio | i am trying to make a custom kernel based on ubuntu10.04lts for diskless thinclient I am getting a problem unable to mount /proc and /sys on tmpfs and cannot find init..... trying to kill init. i checked several time and provided boot=initrd to the boot option. any help is deeply appriciated | 07:21 |

| nio | flannel did you read my problm above | 07:23 |
| nimbiotics_ | Flannel: sorry, lost connection | 07:24 |

| nio | yes | 07:24 |
| nio | i am working for 1 week day and night | 07:25 |
| nio | the problem is in init program but could not able to solve and point out | 07:26 |
| Lazy^ | KE1HA: this works: ls *.rar | xargs -i unrar x {} | 07:26 |
| spine | is anyone here experienced with kismet? | 07:26 |
| KE1HA | nio, I dont know the exact problem, but here's the guide I used when testing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ThinClientHowto | 07:26 |

| KE1HA | kisuke, first though, is this a wireless conneciton error? if not wehre / when is the error happening, and what Ubuntu Version are we talkign about here? | 07:33 |
| kurtis | What other program do you use with WINE thats good for online gaming? | 07:33 |

| phenrique | Has anyone installed Ubuntu on an external hard drive? Can you boot in another machine with no problems or no problem of drivers? It is totally impractical to boot in another machine or not? | 07:34 |

| kisuke | KE1HA: ubuntu 10.04 netboook remix, and yes it is a wlan problem, now that the darn thing (mostly) works | 07:35 |
| ActionParsnip | phenrique: will be fine provided you don't have an xorg.conf defined | 07:35 |
| kurtis | Where do I look for that sir? I don't know what that is. | 07:35 |

| nio | ke1ha if you peek inside the kernel /script/local is the file which is used when we work on the system with hdd i write my own file named init and pass the argument to the kernel but still it says no init. may be it is due to some wrong command for mounting the virtual file system | 07:43 |

| ActionParsnip | glaksmono: any hidden files in $HOME to configure the app? | 07:53 |
| glaksmono | hmmm | 07:53 |

| glaksmono | hmmm.. home as in ~ right? | 07:53 |
| glaksmono | yeah, of course.. | 07:53 |
| KE1HA | glaksmono, sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup This will re-install the console-tools package, which will remap your keyboard layout if you select something different. | 07:53 |

| === Ttech2 is now known as Ttech | ||
| KE1HA | therealpsychx, also, look at Solutions-3 if there's no .conf file, you need to get a generic one in there somehow. | 08:00 |

| nuwan | i have a problem installing kubuntu-desktop from synaptic or tru apt-get in ubuntu 10.04... it gives the error saying unable to fetch paackage | 08:02 |
| KE1HA | spartan07, no, typically you will need to install restricted drivers, Post-Install, Example, My 2x 9800GT's played on a generic VID driver, then I loaded the Nvidia drivers after updates. | 08:02 |
| therealpsychx | KE1HA: Sorry, was messing with the laptop. I meant that the solution did not work. | 08:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Nuwan: try using a different source under software sources | 08:02 |

| nuwan | ActionParsnip: like ? | 08:03 |
| spartan07 | KE1HA, im running nvidia R Drivers right now | 08:03 |
| therealpsychx | KE1HA: It seems to be stopping on: "Setting Sensors Limits" and says "[ok]"... | 08:03 |
| KE1HA | therealpsychx, you need to boot the live CD. mount your HD file system and check to see if you ahve an xorg.conf file. | 08:03 |
| ActionParsnip | nuwan: the main server instead of the more local one selected, or the gb one if you don't already use it | 08:03 |
| spartan07 | just found this thread but hes talking about 2 different cards http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=53966 | 08:03 |
| therealpsychx | KE1HA: How do I mount the HD file system? Sorry for such a stupid question. I'll search for it at the same time. | 08:04 |
| KE1HA | spartan07, is the system working properly now then ?> | 08:04 |
| nuwan | ActionParsnip: shall i send u a copy of error message i get ? | 08:04 |
| ActionParsnip | nuwan: just a different source, any will do | 08:04 |
| ActionParsnip | nuwan: my connect is dog slow, it'd be faster by pigeon. Sorry | 08:04 |
| spartan07 | yea this is the one im on now. running fine 10.04 all updates. I was thinking of putting in the other card fireing it up and reconfiguring x but it gives me a panic @ boot | 08:05 |
| nuwan | ActionParsnip: ok thanks i will try and see now will let you know.. thanks | 08:05 |
| ActionParsnip | nuwan: if its stuff like: cannot find package x and so-on then the new source will probably solve it | 08:05 |
| mae_tae | ActionParsnip, how do i fix that command? | 08:05 |
| mae_tae | please help me please | 08:05 |
| ActionParsnip | mae_tae: fix what command? | 08:06 |
| mae_tae | ActionParsnip, this one, tar xjf ipcop-1.4.21-kernel-2.4.36.tar_.bz2 -C / touch /var/run/need-depmod-2.4.36 | 08:06 |
| KE1HA | therealpsychx, just use the file browser from the Live-CD, but you may run into fole permission issues when you copy the xorg.conf if its not done as sudo | 08:06 |
| ActionParsnip | mae_tae: no idea, what are you trying to achieve? | 08:06 |
| mae_tae | ActionParsnip, this one tar xjf ipcop-1.4.21-kernel-2.4.36.tar_.bz2 -C / touch /var/run/need-depmod-2.4.36 <----- it says not found in archive | 08:06 |
| therealpsychx | KE1HA: As long as I run as sudo then I should be fine? | 08:07 |
| spartan07 | KE1HA, did you ever run 2 vid cards with a live cd and work? | 08:07 |
| KE1HA | yes should be. | 08:07 |
| ActionParsnip | mae_tae: no idea at all dude, sorry | 08:07 |
| kurtis | Is there a way to boot a new OS from an Exsternal HD? | 08:07 |
| KE1HA | spartan07, Live-CD, no, it only used the one, only after install did I use both cards. | 08:07 |
| ActionParsnip | kurtis: can you clarify "boot a new os" please | 08:08 |
| mae_tae | ActionParsnip, i just copy it because that was the instruction, i dont know what that command would do but that instruction | 08:08 |
| ActionParsnip | kurtis: you can add the external partition to you existing grub and boot it, if that's what you mean | 08:09 |
| KE1HA | mae_tae, that's the / touch for ? | 08:09 |
| kurtis | How do I do that? and Can I boot/install it onto my second partition I made for it? | 08:09 |
| KE1HA | oops what is the / touch for, you putting the contensts of the tat into the need-dep file ? | 08:09 |
| ActionParsnip | mae_tae: then ask the instructor for clarification, or find alternative instruction | 08:09 |
| mae_tae | yes it uses touch | 08:09 |
| nuwan | ActionParsnip: i tried the main server/UK main server but all failed same error | 08:09 |
| mae_tae | KEIHA, so how will i fix it? | 08:10 |
| KE1HA | I'd do the Touch first, then extract the file to the file you created. | 08:10 |
| ActionParsnip | kurtis: you can boot any partition accessible to the kernel and able to boot | 08:10 |
| ActionParsnip | nuwan: without the output I'm stuck. Maybe someone on a faster connection can advise. | 08:10 |
| mae_tae | KE1HA, thats what i wonder for, because thats the instruction to upload ipcop-kernel | 08:10 |
| nuwan | W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/k/kdebindings/python-kde4_4.4.2-0ubuntu2_i386.deb | 08:11 |
| nuwan | Connection failed [IP: 91.189.88.45 80] | 08:11 |
| mae_tae | that command was specified there | 08:11 |
| KE1HA | Its either not finding the Source File, you may try ./ ipcop-1.4.21-kernel-2.4.36.tar_.bz2 then then make the destination file and try it | 08:11 |
| nuwan | This is all i get | 08:11 |
| mae_tae | KE1HA, here's the link http://www.ipcops.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=12076 | 08:12 |
| therealpsychx | KE1HA: How do I browse files from the Live-CD? It's not giving me the option - or at least, I don't see it. | 08:12 |
| KE1HA | The live-CD should ahve mounted the Internal hard Drive., | 08:12 |
| mae_tae | KEIHA, ok ill try it, do i need pipe for that? | 08:13 |
| mae_tae | i see | 08:13 |
| therealpsychx | KE1HA: I'm at the Live-CD menu. It says things like "Try Ubuntu without installing" etc | 08:13 |
| KE1HA | mae_tae, Those are teo diffrent commands, the first is extracting the archinve, then created the Touch file, you can't combine them. | 08:13 |
| ActionParsnip | therealpsychx: you will need to mount yor internal partition using the places menu. You will need to run: gksudo nautilus ,to get write access | 08:13 |
| KE1HA | therealpsychx, yes, try witout installing. | 08:13 |
| === lj_ is now known as cipherz | ||
| KE1HA | ActionParsnip, can you help him wiht that part pse ? | 08:14 |
| therealpsychx | KE1HA: When I go to "Try Ubuntu without installing" it just loads then goes to a black screen. | 08:14 |
| cipherz | anyone have problems after upgrading to 2.6.32.24.25 in ubuntu 10.04 lts (amd64 arch) | 08:14 |
| SwedeMike | !details | cipherz | 08:14 |
| ubottu | cipherz: 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 ..." | 08:14 |
| cipherz | when i boot i select ubuntu from my win7 boot menu and nothing else happens after that | 08:14 |
| KE1HA | Thata a problem, if you can Live-CD, your not gonna install. | 08:14 |
| KE1HA | oops if you can't. | 08:15 |
| cipherz | SwedeMike, sorry was hoping it was a general upgrade problem should have stated details prior to asking if i was the only one | 08:15 |
| therealpsychx | KE1HA: Any ideas on what to do? It's not mine, it's a friend | 08:15 |
| KE1HA | Only thing I can suggest is try the full desktop version if the Laptop-Remix isn't booting. | 08:15 |
| therealpsychx | KE1HA: He was having this problem, I've tried a lot so far. DUnno | 08:15 |
| ActionParsnip | KE1HA: I just gave all s/he'll need to mount and write to the internal partitions if that's what is needed | 08:15 |
| SwedeMike | cipherz: well I upgraded to the nwe kernel the other day and it worked for me, so it's not a general problem. | 08:16 |
| KE1HA | rrr. but if he can't boot the Live-CD, he's stuck. | 08:16 |
| therealpsychx | KE1HA: He says that this is the Desktop version.. | 08:16 |
| o2oo | hi | 08:16 |
| cipherz | SwedeMike, can always hope, but its highly unlikely :) just weird.. been using the old one for weeks, didnt touch anything else.. and finally decided to give it a go and restart it | 08:16 |
| chris_osx | therealpsychx: can you boot suse? | 08:16 |
| KE1HA | mae_tae, did you get my last post, the instruction said to Extract first, then Touch the other file, you can't do both on ome command line. | 08:17 |
| o2oo | I wonder if VirtualBox has the Mac OS version? | 08:17 |
| cipherz | but usually grub should display itself right ? (which is for me the odd part) | 08:17 |
| KE1HA | therealpsychx, rrr .. ok, then try the Laptop Version. | 08:17 |
| ActionParsnip | cipherz: mine doesn't but my timeout is small | 08:17 |
| therealpsychx | chris_osx: openSUSE? | 08:18 |
| chris_osx | therealpsychx: yes | 08:18 |
| therealpsychx | chris_osx: I haven't tried yet. I will try that now. | 08:18 |
| cipherz | is there a way to remove the fancy start up tihng, so I can see what is going on ? :) | 08:18 |
| cipherz | the splash screen i think its called | 08:18 |
| KE1HA | therealpsychx, I must admit though, i've not seen a time where the Desktop version Would Not Boot, and the Laptop WOuld it's usually the other way around, but as ActioParsnip said, theres a bug on this issue. | 08:19 |
| ActionParsnip | cipherz: press esc when plymouth shows | 08:19 |
| SwedeMike | cipherz: yes, edit the boot statement and remove quiet and splash | 08:19 |
| cipherz | thanks | 08:19 |
| cipherz | ActionParsnip, plymouth ? | 08:19 |
| cipherz | all I get is a cursor waiting and nothing else :( | 08:19 |
| ActionParsnip | cipherz: the lucid boot splash is plymouth | 08:19 |
| cipherz | ActionParsnip, thanks :) | 08:19 |
| cipherz | so guessing, reinstall grub (just to be on the safe side) and remove quiet/splash and increase time should at least help me get a clue whats going on | 08:20 |
| ActionParsnip | cipherz: or you can edit /etc/default/grub and remove the boot options there | 08:20 |
| therealpsychx | KE1HA: Yeah, I haven't seen this either. I'm going to try both SUSE and the laptop variant of Ubuntu. | 08:20 |
| cipherz | excellent :) | 08:20 |
| ActionParsnip | cipherz: you must run: sudo update-grub ,to apply the change | 08:20 |
| KE1HA | Try the Ubuntu Laptop Version First. | 08:20 |
| rgnr | hey guys | 08:20 |
| rgnr | what the hell | 08:21 |
| cipherz | weird the timeout is like 10, so i should have least seen it hmm | 08:21 |
| ActionParsnip | cipherz: you'll need to delete quiet splash from the quotes | 08:21 |
| rgnr | ubuntu cannot handle files larger than 3gb? | 08:21 |
| SwedeMike | rgnr: not correct. | 08:21 |
| cipherz | ActionParsnip, did that already :) just looking at the other options.. and guessing the timeout 10 is in seconds | 08:21 |
| ActionParsnip | rgnr: it can hadle xb files | 08:21 |
| KE1HA | I have an Old ASUS A6V, and it went in really slick, even WPA worked out of the box, was well impressed with the Laptop Verion of 10.04 over 9.10 | 08:21 |
| SwedeMike | rgnr: it can handle much larger, it depends on the filesystem and other factors. | 08:21 |
| rgnr | fs3 | 08:21 |
| cipherz | hmm interesting | 08:22 |
| rgnr | it copies 3 gb and then gives an error with file to large | 08:22 |
| ActionParsnip | rgnr: look at the wikipedia page for ext4 | 08:22 |
| SwedeMike | rgnr: without providing more details there is no way to hepl you further. what FS are you running? | 08:22 |
| ActionParsnip | rgnr: are there any bugs logged for it? | 08:22 |
| rgnr | oh its ext4 | 08:22 |
| pico_ | is there a solution for : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/511001 | 08:23 |
| therealpsychx | KE1HA: Did you ever try the desktop version on that? | 08:23 |
| ActionParsnip | rgnr: if you are copying to fat32 you will get that | 08:23 |
| SwedeMike | rgnr: ext4 should definitely be able to handle that. | 08:23 |
| ActionParsnip | rgnr: but we have too little info to provide help | 08:23 |
| cipherz | i somehow doubt this can be good: Cannot find list of partitions! (update-grub) | 08:24 |
| ActionParsnip | rgnr: try a different file manager too like thunar or pcmanfm. Maybe its a bug with nautilus | 08:24 |
| cipherz | I have mounted /dev and /proc .. tried running it with strace but cant seem to find anything of interest from the syscalls | 08:24 |
| rgnr | well i copy it to f32 | 08:24 |
| rgnr | ad ntfs | 08:24 |
| trollboy | so where does evolution store its mailboxes? | 08:25 |
| KE1HA | therealpsychx, on my Laptop, no, only put Dekstop version on Desktops. | 08:25 |
| ActionParsnip | rgnr: ntfs will be fine, fat32 has a fairly small maximum filesize so if you copy 3gb files to fat32 you will get that error | 08:25 |
| therealpsychx | KE1HA: Is it the "netbook" version? | 08:25 |
| KE1HA | I have the Notebook version running on all my notebooks, server & desktops running on desktops. | 08:26 |
| ActionParsnip | rgnr: there's a suggestion on brainstorm to make the os look at the copy tasks to fat32 and then show a message saying "that won't work dave" | 08:27 |
| krish | ActionParsnip: thanks | 08:27 |
| ActionParsnip | KE1HA: netbook desktop on a server, bit weird | 08:27 |
| therealpsychx | KE1HA: I mean, I see you saying notebook - but on their website, it says netbook. And I thought there was a difference between notebooks and netbooks. I'm just a little confused. | 08:27 |
| KE1HA | ActionParsnip, no, my server / workstations have Server or Workstation only. | 08:28 |
| SwedeMike | rgnr: just out of curiosity, why didn't you tell us you were copying to an fat32 filesystem initially? | 08:28 |

| YankDownUnder | cipherz, Describe, in order, what exactly happened; what changed from the time it was working properly, how your disk layout is - simple things. | 09:10 |
| hego | are questions about maverick allowed here, or is there a separate channel? | 09:10 |
| chris_osx | tensorpudding: i have flash on ubuntu 64 bit 19 | 09:10 |
| chris_osx | 10 | 09:10 |
| cipherz | YankDownUnder, gimme a sec writing up the story + partition scheme in a pastebin | 09:10 |
| YankDownUnder | cipherz, Roger | 09:11 |
| tensorpudding | chris_osx: the stories that i'm hearing is that it got pulled and you can't use it anymore. | 09:11 |
| chris_osx | tensorpudding: where did you read that? | 09:12 |
| tsdh | Hi. I want to install a PPA from launchpad, but I'm missing the add-apt-repository command. Where do I get that from? | 09:12 |
| YankDownUnder | tsdh, Are you typing: sudo add-apt-respository blah blah blah? | 09:12 |
| spartan07 | thanks for all your help calling it a night and working on the multiple video cards tom. | 09:12 |
| tsdh | YankDownUnder: yes | 09:13 |
| hego | @ tsdh: you can add the ppa to software sources | 09:13 |
| spartan07 | KE1HA, thank you for your time. | 09:13 |
| YankDownUnder | tsdh, The general command would be: sudo add-apt-repository (insert PPA here) => check that you're typing it correctly... | 09:14 |
| cipherz | YankDownUnder, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Jwe7X0Uf - sorry the partition table is not fdisk -l but I am in windows right now | 09:14 |
| cipherz | thought about re-running easybcd ( see pastebin) | 09:14 |
| cipherz | and thanks in advance for helping me :) | 09:14 |
| === zeitgeist is now known as musashi | ||
| tsdh | YankDownUnder: Yes, I type exactly that. Maybe my server runs a too old ubuntu version. I already did "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade". How do I know the version I'm running? | 09:15 |
| === jofo__ is now known as jofo | ||
| YankDownUnder | cipherz, I believe in this situation you're going to have to do the "Windows Boot Recovery" prior to doing the grub2 stuff... | 09:16 |
| cipherz | YankDownUnder, ''windows boot recovery'', just to make sure I understand you, ''re-run generation of windows boot menu'' ? | 09:16 |
| YankDownUnder | tsdh, Um... cat /etc/issue => will tell you the version | 09:16 |
| tensorpudding | chris_osx: sorry, my irc client crashed | 09:17 |
| tensorpudding | they pulled the linux 64-bit flash from their website, and the partner channel on the software channel doesn't stock it anymore | 09:17 |
| YankDownUnder | cipherz, When booting with the Win7 disk, you can do a recovery => I personally use a "Vista Recovery Disk" that I downloaded for assistance with that kinda crap... | 09:17 |
| cipherz | YankDownUnder, ahh I cannot do that :) if I do that my lenovo mbr is trashed.. | 09:18 |
| YankDownUnder | cipherz, As well, once I'm done, I boot a liveCD, then mount/chroot the partitions, THEN re-run grub | 09:18 |
| cipherz | and windows 7 boots just fine :) and yeah thats what I did ;) followed instructions just had to add --force | 09:18 |
| YankDownUnder | cipherz, Well, then you can try what I just said - boot to a liveCD, chroot, then re-run grub2 matey | 09:18 |
| tensorpudding | there has to be a 64-bit libflashplayer.so lying around somewhere... | 09:19 |
| tsdh | YankDownUnder: Ok, it is "Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS". All the PPA howtos are for Karmic or later. How do I upgrade to a newer version? (I always thought dist-upgrade would do that...) | 09:19 |
| cipherz | YankDownUnder, I did that already :) doesnt help :/ | 09:19 |
| randy_ | tsdh: dist-upgrade just does an upgrade of kernel and stuff like that | 09:20 |
| randy_ | tsdh: misleading, i know... | 09:20 |
| YankDownUnder | tsdh, purge, update, then dist-upgrade... | 09:20 |
| randy_ | has 8.04 -> 10.04 even been tested? that has got to wreak some serious havoc on a system ... | 09:21 |
| SwedeMike | randy_: er, yes, it's been heavily tested. LTS->LTS is definitely a supported upgrade path. | 09:22 |
| tensorpudding | the only supported upgrade paths are adjacent releases and LTS to LTS upgrades, aren't they? | 09:22 |
| YankDownUnder | cipherz, Have you double-checked your /etc/default/grub and also your /etc/grub.d configs? | 09:22 |
| SwedeMike | tensorpudding: yes. | 09:22 |
| jasonwryan | randy_: worked like a charm on my mother-in-laws machine :) | 09:22 |
| tsdh | randy, YankDownUnder | 09:23 |
| randy_ | jasonwryan: yeah... i make too many odd changes for a normal upgrade. i always run into issues. | 09:23 |
| tsdh | randy, YankDownUnder: I guess I also have to fiddle in the sources.list.d/? | 09:23 |
| === someone is now known as Guest75970 | ||
| YankDownUnder | tsdh, ya might wanna double check yer sources to make SURE they're pointing to the right places... | 09:23 |
| jasonwryan | randy_: Hers is a pretty vanilla box: I keep it simple for her... | 09:24 |
| Lyannie | uii | 09:24 |
| cipherz | YankDownUnder, have to admit I havent browsed through /etc/grub.d but I have been through /etc/default/grub (mainly to disable splash,quiet and make sure i had a timeout) but did look it over | 09:24 |
| cipherz | YankDownUnder, gonna try and boot with my easybcd changes, if nothing else I'll be online from the livecd and able to do a better detailed description | 09:25 |
| cipherz | brb | 09:25 |
| YankDownUnder | cipherz, When you initially set this up - since you don't want to touch the Lenovo MBR, did you set it up to boot into linux through the Windows boot mangler, or through grub? | 09:25 |
| Naznaz | I hope somebody can help me so i'll outline my problem in short :) | 09:26 |
| tsdh | YankDownUnder, randy: Here are some good instructions: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 09:26 |
| therealpsychx | How should I go about mounting a .daa file? | 09:26 |
| Naznaz | I'm on WLAN at an 16 Mbit connection, and apt download speed is very good about ~1,8 Mb/s | 09:26 |
| tsdh | Thanks! | 09:26 |
| Naznaz | But browsing is insanely slow (Firefox and Opera), sites do either load very slowly or i just get an error | 09:27 |
| YankDownUnder | tsdh, In all reality, mate, I don't do upgrades. In the past, um, 18 years, I've done THREE. All went south. So I don't. I do clean installations. Workstations, servers, whatever. | 09:27 |
| Naznaz | also tracepath www.google.de aborts after the server of the ISP | 09:27 |
| ttmrichter | What's the trick to get GCC working on Ubuntu/Lucid 64-bit? When I install build-essential I get a gcc that can't compile because the back-end assembler doesn't recognize the 64-bit registers. | 09:27 |
| Naznaz | What can i do? :) | 09:27 |
| randy_ | Naznaz: have you tried using a different DNS server? | 09:27 |
| Naznaz | no, how? | 09:27 |
| SwedeMike | Naznaz: do sites load slowly or is there a long wait before they start loading and then they load quickly? | 09:27 |
| LinuxPhreak | I just had some wierd power searge and my computers turned off. On my Ubuntu Server when it restarted I get an command line that says (initramfs) how do I fix the problem | 09:27 |
| Naznaz | long wait before loading starts (if loading starts) | 09:28 |
| Naznaz | and sometimes a very fast error | 09:28 |
| randy_ | Naznaz: SwedeMike it feels like to me that DNS isn't resolving like its supposed to | 09:28 |
| YankDownUnder | therealpsychx, I convert them to an ISO then mount 'em. | 09:28 |
| Naznaz | (but only in opera) | 09:28 |
| tsdh | YankDownUnder: Well, the server is only a virtual image, so I don't have a change to do a clean install on my own. | 09:28 |
| tsdh | 09:28 | |
| tsdh | 09:28 | |
| tsdh | 09:28 | |
| tsdh | 09:28 | |
| FloodBot4 | tsdh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:28 |
| therealpsychx | YankDownUnder: What do you use to convert them? | 09:29 |
| SwedeMike | Naznaz: then you most likely have a dns problem, use wireshark or alike to track what's going on on the wire, if a DNS request is timeouting for instance. | 09:29 |
| randy_ | Naznaz: you can test your DNS real quick by using the dig command (or nslookup) | 09:29 |
| randy_ | Naznaz: for example... $ dig google.com | 09:29 |
| YankDownUnder | therealpsychx, AcetoneISO mate | 09:29 |
| SwedeMike | Naznaz: might be ipv6 related, look for AAAA request and answer in the DNS traffic. | 09:29 |
| therealpsychx | YankDownUnder: Thanks! | 09:29 |
| cipherz | YankDownUnder, so I have been using grub-legacy from easybcd since my original 10.04 lts install.. and its been working.. but i decided to try, just for the fun of it, if their grub2 worked | 09:30 |
| Naznaz | but if it's a dns-problem, shouldn't the same problem appear on windows? | 09:30 |
| cipherz | YankDownUnder, and the grub-legacy didnt .. but grub2 did.. hmm | 09:30 |
| LinuxPhreak | anyone know how to fix BusyBox error on Ubuntu 10.04 | 09:30 |
| SwedeMike | Naznaz: not it's not a pure dns problem most likely, but dns might be one part. | 09:30 |
| YankDownUnder | cipherz, Mate, I've been sticking to grub2 - or lilo (for some of my client's boxen) | 09:30 |
| randy_ | Naznaz: i concur. IF your DNS responses take a long time (they should be almost immediate via the dig command) then we know where to start looking | 09:31 |
| YankDownUnder | Naznaz, Change the settings to ignore IPv6, restart the connection, see if that helps. | 09:31 |
| Naznaz | okay, I'll post the output of dig. one moment | 09:31 |
| randy_ | Naznaz: thats not necessary | 09:31 |
| cipherz | YankDownUnder, well I didnt really choose anything in the install, and as far as I know grub2 is default in ubuntu.. but didnt know that earlier.. (so used easybcd's legacy support .. without problems until last kernel upgrade hmm something else besides the kernel must have been installed :) ) | 09:32 |
| Naznaz | okay, it seems to be fast :) | 09:32 |
| Naznaz | I'll try disabling ipv6, brb | 09:32 |
| randy_ | Naznaz: did you try a website name you don't normally go to?? | 09:32 |
| guido_ | ubuntu.it | 09:32 |
| randy_ | Naznaz: its possible you received a cached response... | 09:32 |
| Naznaz | no | 09:32 |
| Naznaz | oh ok | 09:32 |
| Naznaz | a website i never went to takes somewhat longer but is still fast | 09:33 |
| YankDownUnder | cipherz, I'd use what is packaged - which is grub2 by default - using the easybcd is fine and dandy, but I'd say you're going to have more ease by re-installing grub2 from the liveCD - doing the re-mount and chroot prior | 09:33 |
| Naznaz | ipv6 is already set to ignore | 09:33 |
| randy_ | Naznaz: what kind of internet connection do you have? | 09:33 |
| Naznaz | ADSL | 09:33 |
| YankDownUnder | Naznaz, Add in another DNS server that's not in your country - like 139.130.4.5 | 09:33 |
| Naznaz | also very fast response | 09:34 |
| cipherz | YankDownUnder, I think I am really poor at expressing myself, because when I read your replies it doesnt make sense according to what I have done.. sorry :) one last time: I tried what you just did, without luck, changed my windows boot menu options and voila.. dont know how it worked before as grub2 always have been default in ubuntu 10.04 .. but thanks a lot for your time and have a nice day :) | 09:34 |
| therealpsychx | YankDownUnder: Do you ever have problems converting files with acetoneiso? | 09:34 |
| guido_ | come faccio ad andare su ubuntu.it? grazie | 09:34 |
| SwedeMike | !it | guido_ | 09:34 |
| ubottu | guido_: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) | 09:34 |
| YankDownUnder | therealpsychx, Not unless they're corrupted... | 09:35 |
| therealpsychx | YankDownUnder: Oh, ok. It told me something about losing the first layer or something like that. I'm still trying it. | 09:35 |
| chris_osx | is there a free replacement for the flashplugin? | 09:35 |
| randy_ | Naznaz: and you say windows computers work fine.. hmm... | 09:35 |
| Naznaz | yes, my gf's laptop running vista is just fine | 09:36 |
| SwedeMike | Naznaz: you mentioned opera, do the different browsers behave differently? | 09:36 |
| pradeep | Naznaz, go format it n put ubuntu then maybe vm vista | 09:36 |
| pradeep | lol | 09:36 |
| therealpsychx | If I want to mount something, do I just cp it to the media directory that i have? ie: /media/iso | 09:36 |
| SwedeMike | therealpsychx: cp doesn't mount anything. | 09:36 |
| randy_ | Naznaz: and you run wireless. its possible that you're losing a lot of packets (errors) over the radio link. | 09:37 |
| YankDownUnder | therealpsychx, You should be able to mount it from wherever it's at - no need to copy it anywhere... | 09:37 |
| Naznaz | SwedeMike: opera sometimes immediately throws an error, while firefox takes some seconds and then starts loading | 09:37 |
| therealpsychx | sudo mount -o loop filename ? | 09:37 |
| Naznaz | i dunno, I'm sitting right next to the router | 09:37 |
| randy_ | Naznaz: have you tried a wired connection to see if the problem goes away? | 09:37 |
| Naznaz | nope | 09:37 |
| SwedeMike | Naznaz: again, my advice is to use wireshark and look at what's going on on the wire. | 09:37 |
| Naznaz | okay thanks | 09:37 |
| Naznaz | I'll try wired first | 09:37 |
| Naznaz | brb | 09:37 |
| YankDownUnder | Naznaz, You can also change the MTU to 1500 instead of "automatic" - I find that helps heaps. | 09:38 |
| SwedeMike | why do people hate actually looking what's going on at the packet layer? | 09:38 |
| pradeep | Naznaz, what does wireshark do | 09:38 |
| Naznaz | ? | 09:38 |
| spaceghost_ | why are my user folders (e.g. /home/me/downloads) absent in file choosing prompts yet present in normal navigation? | 09:38 |
| randy_ | SwedeMike: its not that. we are all not OSI professionals working on the linklayer on a daily basis | 09:38 |
| pradeep | does anyone know an appon ubuntu for bandwith management on a network | 09:38 |
| randy_ | SwedeMike: unless you know what to look for, its all gibberish | 09:39 |
| ttmrichter | What's the trick to get GCC working on Ubuntu/Lucid 64-bit?

| hrhrhr_ | morning | 09:39 |
| randy_ | pradeep: bandwidth management has historically been a sticky/difficult subject in the linux community primarily due to a lack of documentation | 09:39 |
| hrhrhr_ | am i right in thinking .bash_profile is executed at login? | 09:39 |
| hrhrhr_ | and .bashrc upon 'su/sudo' ? | 09:39 |
| SwedeMike | randy_: but if you do, it's an excellent tool in finding out what's going on. I work as an network engineer and "server people" seem to hate to have to look at what's actually going on. | 09:39 |
| randy_ | pradeep: truly, Linux has extremely powerful QoS tools, but no one knows how to use them ;) | 09:40 |
| hrhrhr_ | i have aliases which don't work after sudoing | 09:40 |
| YankDownUnder | hrhrhr_, For bash, yes. the ~.profile is for your environment stuff | 09:40 |
| pradeep | RaNdy_ hmmm i c | 09:40 |
| SwedeMike | randy_: and it's not that hard, spend 20-30 minutes reading up on DNS and TCP and you will have a lot of use for it. | 09:40 |
| hrhrhr_ | YankDownUnder: .bash_profile or .profile? does it matter/ | 09:40 |
| YankDownUnder | hrhrhr_, If you describe what you're trying to accomplish, that may help | 09:40 |
| pradeep | RaNdY_ so who wrote them | 09:41 |
| randy_ | SwedeMike: i never said that I haven't done that. I'm just suggesting that it may not be necessary for Naznaz to do that if its a Driver issue as opposed to a network issue | 09:41 |
| randy_ | pradeep: a magical individual by the name of Alexey N. Kuznetsov did a lot of the work (and I assume he takes a lot of the credit) even though a countless number of people had a hand in it... | 09:42 |
| N4zroth | <- Naznaz | 09:42 |
| hrhrhr_ | YankDownUnder: i have basic aliases such as c=clear in my .bash_profile | 09:42 |
| hrhrhr_ | when i sudo | 09:42 |
| hrhrhr_ | i lose these | 09:42 |
| N4zroth | still the same problem with wired connection | 09:42 |
| N4zroth | and | 09:42 |
| N4zroth | when i input google.com instead of www.google.com in opera i immediately get a network error | 09:42 |
| FloodBot4 | N4zroth: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:42 |
| YankDownUnder | hrhrhr_, Well, then the question has just been answered. | 09:42 |
| === N4zroth is now known as Naznaz | ||
| randy_ | pradeep: there have been *some* tools written to make bandwidth management easier/manageable, but none of them are gui based (at least not in Ubuntu that i know of)... | 09:44 |
| randy_ | pradeep: i found in my experience, though, that they weren't very good/extensible | 09:44 |

| jgcampbell300 | Is it possible to get virus on Ubuntu 10.04? | 09:45 |
| YankDownUnder | randy_, pradeep => Squid can be used. | 09:45 |
| jason_wt | currently i have a user who can run root takes by typing in their password when prompted, but i like to prevent them from running root tasks unless i enter an admins account password | 09:45 |
| jason_wt | can this be done? | 09:45 |
| pradeep | jgcampbell300, nope | 09:45 |
| YankDownUnder | jgcampbell300, Um...is this a joke? | 09:45 |
| coz_ | jgcampbell300, it is possible but very unlikely | 09:45 |
| jgcampbell300 | I did not think so, but I have been having some trouble that I can not explain:( | 09:45 |
| pradeep | RaNdY_ so wat do u suggest i do | 09:46 |
| randy_ | YankDownUnder: thats a yes and no problem that only can solve a *part* of a larger issue. the root solution is at the tc level | 09:46 |
| bullgard4 | jgcampbell300: Theoretically yes. Practically: no. | 09:46 |
| YankDownUnder | IN THEORY, there are like, um, what, 13 viruses for unix/bsd/linux => however, they cannot survive in the "wild" | 09:46 |
| coz_ | jgcampbell300, linux is overseen by many groups that watch out for and report on possible threats... for the desktop linux it is unlikely to happen for at least 5 years | 09:46 |
| jgcampbell300 | I have not changed anything but now avi files that played fine before do not work | 09:46 |
| coz_ | jgcampbell300, if you are really concerend you can go to the BlackHat security conference site and read on what they have reported etc | 09:46 |
| === pooky_ is now known as pooky | ||
| pradeep | randy_ am a network admin in a teaching hospital so many peeps download alot of thing where draggin n taking up all the bandwith u get | 09:47 |
| randy_ | pradeep: honestly, if you intent to run a server in a router capacity, i would suggest running something more intended for that, like vyatta or zeroshell (not to bash on ubuntu, but, server is not equal to router) | 09:47 |
| YankDownUnder | jgcampbell300, Simple steps to figure this out. 1.) From the last time you were able to view them, what has been installed/changed/upgraded? 2.) Are you doing exactly what you did before to play them? 3.) Are you using a particular program to view them, or are you viewing them in your web browser? | 09:47 |
| pradeep | randy_ i have a cisco router 1800 series | 09:48 |
| YankDownUnder | pradeep, Um...have you thought about setting quotas on the user accounts? | 09:48 |
| tsdh | YankDownUnder: As you've foreseen, the upgrade didn't work: http://pastebin.ca/1909945 | 09:49 |
| randy_ | YankDownUnder, pradeep, i don't think that solves the problem of bandwidth usage compared to downloaded/temporary/streaming media | 09:49 |
| tsdh | It seems I have to update the kernel package and reboot. How do I do that? | 09:49 |
| jgcampbell300 | I have been a lot of stuff trying to figgure this one out ... it seems random ... a file will play and then one day it will quit ... but not all the files quit playing at the same time ... seems to happen to a few files at a time ... i did notice that when i opend up the info on the playing file i was seeing mp3 insted of avi | 09:49 |
| ttmrichter | What's the trick to get GCC working on Ubuntu/Lucid 64-bit? When I install build-essential I get a gcc that can't compile because the back-end assembler doesn't recognize the 64-bit registers.

| jgcampbell300 | is there a way to update all the codex packages ? | 09:50 |
| c_korn42 | hello. I wanted to install lucid yesterday and tried the daily build (alterate amd64). after clicking "install ubuntu" I got the error: "uncompress error -- system halted" is this a known problem ? I could reproduce it on my notebook. I created a bootable usb stick from the iso using Ubuntu's creator | 09:50 |
| pradeep | YankDownUnder, randy_ so what do you suggest ? some one told me about mikrotik | 09:50 |
| jgcampbell300 | maybe something happend to them | 09:50 |
| randy_ | Naznaz: well, we've proven that you don't have a wireless issue, and your DNS seems to be fine, and IPv6 is out | 09:50 |
| YankDownUnder | tsdh, Well, time to do a fresh install - unless you want to waste more time by upgrading to like 8.10, then to 9.04, then 9.10 and finally to 10.04...(I hate wasting time...yet another reason why I like doing fresh installations) | 09:51 |
| Naznaz | yes :( | 09:51 |
| randy_ | pradeep: yeah, i've looked at mikrotik before, but its pricy for what you get. its cheaper just to build a bigger ATX server with fancy (lit. big) gig ethernet ports on the cheap | 09:51 |
| MauL^ | I've set up a public&private key for ssh authentication between 2 ubuntu, one is mustafa@server1 the other is root@server2 ... when I do ssh root@server2 , it still asks me for password .... why ?? | 09:52 |
| tsdh | YankDownUnder: As I've said, I cannot do a fresh install because that's only a virtual server I don't have physical access to. | 09:52 |
| cipherz | MauL^, try running ssh -vv or something to see whats going on :) | 09:52 |
| YankDownUnder | jgcampbell300, Have you tried VLC to play them? | 09:52 |
| PureSine | hello I want to install an update to transmission but it seems it is available through ppa (https://edge.launchpad.net/~transmissionbt/+archive/nightly/+packages) is there a simple way to update like synaptic ? | 09:52 |
| minjoo | how to install gcc 3.x on ubuntu 10.04? | 09:52 |
| cipherz | MauL^, could easily be some permission problems on the key ;) | 09:52 |
| randy_ | pradeep: there really is no difference between building something big except size and power. the proc. in the microtik won't compare with what you get in a real mobo | 09:52 |
| Guest72611 | hi. could somebody help me with external monitor config? | 09:53 |
| YankDownUnder | tsdh, Dunno what to say mate...I have physical access to my servers... | 09:53 |
| jgcampbell300 | yes ... I always use VLC | 09:53 |
| Guest72611 | whatever I choose in config always get out of range | 09:53 |
| randy_ | pradeep: in the end, you still end up with a 'how do i do it' 'what os do i use' type of problem | 09:53 |
| tsdh | YankDownUnder: Good for you. ;-) | 09:53 |
| YankDownUnder | jgcampbell300, Well, then you're possibly having codec issues... | 09:53 |
| pradeep | randy_ what do you suggest seems you are a network admin | 09:53 |
| jgcampbell300 | is there a command or something to reset/reinstall all the codec ? | 09:54 |
| gogeta1 | YankDownUnder: vlc is your frend | 09:54 |
| YankDownUnder | tsdh, Be nice to be able to create a new VM and just copy stuff over to it... | 09:54 |
| YankDownUnder | Dunno if VLC is my frend, but it's certainly my media player of choice. | 09:54 |
| gogeta1 | YankDownUnder: you can enable usb and copy stuff | 09:54 |
| gogeta1 | YankDownUnder: no codec issues then | 09:55 |
| YankDownUnder | Enable USB and copy stuff? Um...I think something got lost in the translation... | 09:55 |
| Guest72611 | PureSine: just add pa repository and install with synaptic | 09:55 |
| randy_ | pradeep: well, if you want something that won't fry your brain after weeks of studying LARTC (Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control), let me suggest zeroshell, they have tutorials and can at least get you really close to something that would really work right without a lot of tweaking miserably in the command line, i.e. http://www.zeroshell.net/eng/qos/ | 09:55 |
| mikeru | HELLO | 09:56 |
| Naznaz | I also wonder why apt is so insanely fast and my browsers aren't :/ | 09:56 |
| PureSine | Guest72611, where should I add it in synaptic ? | 09:56 |
| randy_ | Naznaz: yes, thats a good question. | 09:56 |
| YankDownUnder | Naznaz, Have you made sure you turned off proxy auto-configuration in your web browser? | 09:57 |
| gogeta1 | YankDownUnder: vms support usb so you can copy things using a usb device or you can make a samba share | 09:57 |
| gogeta1 | or ftp etc | 09:57 |
| Guest72611 | puresine: you can add with system | administration | software sources | 09:57 |
| Guest72611 | PureSine: or in synaptic wait a second.... | 09:57 |
| Naznaz | YankDownUnder, yes it's turned off | 09:57 |
| randy_ | YankDownUnder, Naznaz good call. let me also suggest, just to narrow things down, downloading a file on the command line using wget to see if there is some sort of gnome proxy thing borking things up. I also suspect it might be network-manager | 09:58 |
| YankDownUnder | Naznaz, If everything else works fast (or appears to) - have you tried more than one browser? | 09:58 |
| Guest72611 | PureSine: Settings | repositories | 09:58 |
| Naznaz | YankDownUnder, I tried Opera and Firefox | 09:58 |
| Naznaz | randy_, I'll try wget | 09:59 |
| Guest72611 | PureSine: Second tab: Another software ; click add.. button | 09:59 |
| Guest72611 | PureSine: argh... but don't know what to put in. Moment... | 10:00 |

| Naznaz | randy_, when i do wget http://blahblah , resolving the address takes ages but download is fast | 10:00 |
| tsdh | YankDownUnder: That's exactly the procedure I did. | 10:00 |
| Naznaz | when i repeat this, resolving still takes ages | 10:00 |
| Guest72611 | PureSine: ppa:transmissionbt/nightly put this | 10:00 |
| YankDownUnder | tsdh, I'll assume you've followed this TO THE "T" yeah? | 10:01 |
| pradeep | randy_ is that guide how to configure zeroshell besides wud ubuntu work | 10:01 |
| pradeep | ? | 10:01 |
| ttmrichter | What's the trick to get GCC working on Ubuntu/Lucid 64-bit? When I install build-essential I get a gcc that can't compile because the back-end assembler doesn't recognize the 64-bit registers. Here's the output on a freshly-installed Ubuntu 10.4 system with build-essential installed: http://ideone.com/G8WUZ | 10:01 |
| Guest72611 | PureSine: or instead of clickuing run Terminal and type in: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:transmissionbt/nightly | 10:01 |
| yudi1 | i am trying to backup a cd with drivers on it, I want to make a image file. I am using brasero and it defaults to a *.toc image file. is it alright to use a toc image. or should I choose iso | 10:02 |
| YankDownUnder | yudi1, ISO image is best suited. | 10:02 |
| PureSine | Guest72611, you mean I don't have to type full http address of the package ? | 10:02 |
| Guest72611 | PureSine: no | 10:03 |
| Guest72611 | PureSine: you have to add repo adress | 10:03 |
| Guest72611 | PureSine: synaptic will get packages index and all the stuff it needs to instal package | 10:04 |
| randy_ | pradeep: ah, that link was specifically for Zeroshell, just as an example of what *it* can do. of course, Ubuntu *can* do it. tc (as part of iproute2 package) is an integral part of the linux kernel in every distribution. most people will never need/touch/learn the tc command and it is so rarely employed that very little has been written about it. rarely do people need to do what you want to do. regardless, it is incredibly p | 10:04 |
| PureSine | where should I add repo address ? in synaptic where you gave the address before ? | 10:04 |
| ttmrichter | Or is Ubuntu not intended to work with amd64 architectures? | 10:04 |
| === sree is now known as sreR | ||
| yudi1 | yank..., ok but why is it defaulting to .toc, I backed up a dvd and it used iso. | 10:05 |
| SwedeMike | ttmrichter: amd64 is definitely supported, been running it for years myself. | 10:05 |
| randy_ | pradeep: unlike vyatta/Zeroshell, though, there isn't a fancy interface for configuring bandwidth management in ubuntu | 10:05 |
| ttmrichter | SwedeMike: can you explain http://ideone.com/G8WUZ? | 10:05 |
| PureSine | Guest72611, where should I add repo address ? in synaptic where you gave the address before ? | 10:05 |
| YankDownUnder | yudi1, Not sure | 10:05 |
| ttmrichter | GCC's back-end is choking on the extended amd64 registers. | 10:05 |

| uLinux | Does somebody know long how it takes to erase an harddrive using DBAN's quick erase method? like 600GB | 10:06 |
| SwedeMike | ttmrichter: that compiles just fine on my 10.04 amd64 machine. | 10:06 |

| randy_ | pradeep: no problem ;) | 10:09 |
| Naznaz | randy_, i tried setting mtu to 1500 but no change | 10:10 |

| strange | answers i like :) | 10:18 |
| jasonwryan | strange: flush the dpkg cache? | 10:18 |
| strange | jasonwryan, how? | 10:19 |
| Naznaz | if the /etc/modprobe.d/aliases file does not exist, does simply creating it suffice? | 10:19 |
| randy_ | YankDownUnder: strange whenever i see references to libmesa a chill races down my spine from days of old ... when graphics drivers were unreliable and skinny elephants occasionally trampled all over my keyboard... | 10:19 |
| strange | nvidia drivers are decent these days but i installed something to disrupt the balance :x | 10:20 |
| YankDownUnder | randy_, Those were the days when I did mostly everything in the console - or just ran OLVWM and didn't worry about graphic | 10:20 |

| YankDownUnder | strange, Mate, what happens if you try to install something that you don't already have - using apt-get install - and then running apt-get update after that? | 10:26 |
| Quadrescence | YankDownUnder: Are you trolling? I pasted a C program, gcc output, my architecture, the program compiled, the command I did | 10:26 |
| YankDownUnder | Quadrescence, Mate, you're right. I must be trolling, and I must have the answer to your question because obviously each and every one of us in here is running 64bit bloody amd Ubuntu and we're all conspiring against you by not answering the bloody question.Phew. | 10:27 |

| YankDownUnder | olav_, Sorry - didn't see the prev post - after you've mounted the drives (which are in /media) you run that command from the /media dir as root, and yes, it cleans up all the crap recursively and automagically with only a report at the end. | 10:49 |
| ShapeShifter499 | the exe thumbnail that looks like a windows "window" with the exe's native icon inside it, is what I've got now, I want the other one that is the wine icon with the exe's native icon in the corner, how do I do/get that? | 10:50 |
| olav_ | YankDownUnder, Great, trying out now. Thanks a lot! | 10:51 |

| olav_ | YankDownUnder, will do :) | 10:56 |
| Amway | proprietary driver ? how to check ? | 10:56 |
| * YankDownUnder thinks that you don't buy it from Amway firstly | 10:57 | |
| om26er | Amway, did you install an drivers? | 10:57 |
| stetho | If I do an apt-get update or install I get a connection time out to archive.canonical.com. How can I tell if this server is actually down or if there's something else going on? | 10:57 |
| YankDownUnder | stetho, You can ping the server to check | 10:57 |
| Amway | drivers for what ? | 10:58 |
| schnux | stetho: behind proxy? | 10:58 |
| Amway | i just upgraded 9.10 to 10.04 | 10:58 |
| stetho | Nope, not behind proxy and it responds to ping. | 10:59 |
| YankDownUnder | stetho, Could be traffic at this time of night/day...I get it sometimes when it's peaked in the US | 10:59 |

| olav_ | YankDownUnder, could I just ask one final question before hitting enter? If any files are marked as infected, can it result in loss of personal data? It is not my computer and I believe the one who owns the computer have some stuff that will be missed. The most important are images though. I am not used to viruses and such :p | 11:03 |
| viric | Does anybody know, why ubuntu repository has the nvidia driver version 195.34, while the nvidia website has 295.35? Why that big difference in numbers? | 11:03 |
| kisuke | viric: afaik, it has to do with there being more revisions made for win thatn for *nix | 11:04 |
| metalgeek | ther day i blacklisted something on advice from a wireless webpage about setting up a ralink rt2870. How can i undo this, i blacklisted 3 different drivers i think but it made no difference so i would like to undo to try again | 11:04 |

| viric | kisuke: I went to the nvidia site, yes, to check the version. | 11:15 |
| metalgeek | Have asked same question 4 ties to no answer, am i doing something wrong (am newbie so don't understand) | 11:16 |
| viric | kisuke: I have to deploy some binaries in that system, and it will be easier for me if I could put my nvidia libGL binaries. But that requires that user to have the proper module in the kernel | 11:16 |
| jgcampbell300 | wow its takeing forever to boot | 11:17 |
| kisuke | viric: why not just use the binarys off the nvida site? | 11:17 |
| jgcampbell300 | i wonder witch is faster a usb hard drive or a internal sata | 11:17 |
| metalgeek | Hello? | 11:17 |
| ddavids | any idea what this means in wine? "Fialed FsUsbExService, No existing FsUsbExDevice". I get that evertime i start any program in wine... | 11:17 |
| iceroot | ddavids: #winehq is a better place for that i guess | 11:18 |
| jgcampbell300 | sounds like it is looking for a usb drive that isnt there | 11:18 |
| jgcampbell300 | ok im booted up | 11:18 |
| ddavids | iceroot: thanks | 11:18 |
| viric | kisuke: ubuntu is supposed to provide 'package management' :) | 11:19 |
| metalgeek | jgcampbell300, ok so now open terminal and: sudo update-grub | 11:19 |
| jgcampbell300 | k | 11:19 |
| kisuke | viric: it does, but it all tends to be older packages, because they have been proven stable. | 11:19 |
| viric | that was for debian. Also for ubuntu? | 11:20 |
| jgcampbell300 | umm poop ... error cannont find device for / | 11:20 |

| jgcampbell300 | whitelist | 11:25 |
| jgcampbell300 | from what i read on google | 11:26 |
| YankDownUnder | metalgeek, Something you can try is to connect the machine to ethernet, and do System => Administration => Hardware Drivers => check to see if any drivers for the dongle are found (of course, you have to have the dongle IN at the time) | 11:26 |

| jgcampbell300 | not sure but i would think man whitelist would show you manual | 11:29 |
| metalgeek | YankDownUnder, opened the file but can't see the drivers that i am looking for, dose this mean that they are not blacklisted at all? | 11:29 |
| jgcampbell300 | hmm maybe the info you looking for is under /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist ? | 11:29 |

| Jinxed- | How difficult would it be to write your own driver for something? | 12:29 |

| aguitel | MauL^, starupmanager | 12:29 |
| Jinxed- | KrisDouglas, I basically is a device that will do IP over ethernet, but it registers as a composite device I believe something like 4 serial and 1 ethernet | 12:31 |

| dustball1 | hello there. i want tu use my WhiteStar II dvb-stick with ubuntu. i run on ubunut 10.04, got the af9015 header for the kernel and got the firmware. still i dont know how to run it exactly | 12:31 |
| brijithmac | How can I enable seamless mode in virtualbox | 12:31 |
| An_Ony_Moose | how can you configure plymouth to use a different theme? | 12:32 |
| KrisDouglas | brijithmac, you need to install the virtual box additions package, usually only works in windows from my experience | 12:32 |
| An_Ony_Moose | !plymouth | 12:32 |
| dustball1 | noone can give me help with the dvb-thingy? | 12:32 |
| Dr_Willis | An_Ony_Moose: its doable.. i just dont recall how/where :) I normally just disable plymouth. | 12:32 |
| KrisDouglas | Jinxed-, I would most likely think that it is nearly impossible without schematics of the device itself. | 12:32 |

| kisuke | was there a netbook remix for 9.10? | 12:34 |
| Dr_Willis | computer_: go to the virtualbox homepage and read up on Virtualbox. its easier to use then vmware | 12:34 |
| Dr_Willis | !virtualbox | computer_ | 12:34 |
| ubottu | computer_: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 12:34 |
| computer_ | thanks | 12:34 |
| Dr_Willis | computer_: wine can run specific windows apps. how well it works.. depends on the app. | 12:34 |
| An_Ony_Moose | nvm I've found it out | 12:34 |
| brijithmac | KrisDouglas: you mean, linux as host machine one can not operate in seamless mode ? | 12:35 |

| computer_ | thanks dr willis | 12:36 |
| dury | how do I check if my burner it's connected rightly in ubuntu? | 12:36 |
| dustball1 | once again: i have a dvb-usb stick and want it to run, but can't. whats wrong? | 12:36 |
| Dr_Willis | dustball1: could be it has no linux support. | 12:37 |
| bastiaen | Is there any software availeble to run an OS in a vmbox just like you could run linux inside windows? | 12:37 |
| dustball1 | well it doesnt have from the start, but with ubuntu or at least kernel 2.6.28 it runs.. or should | 12:37 |
| Dr_Willis | dustball1: You may want to check the forums for its exact brand/make/model and check the MythTV/Mythbuntu forums also | 12:37 |
| jgcampbell300 | hmm there should be a special menu in ubuntu for me ... if grub dosnt run it should read "So you have trashed your OS again. Please click here." | 12:37 |
| Jinxed- | KrisDouglas, are there any tools to take a windows driver and convert it for use in ubuntu? Also if I had access to the schmatics, how difficult would it be | 12:37 |
| Dr_Willis | dustball1: so what have you done to 'use' it so far? | 12:37 |
| brijithmac | Hi all, How can I enable seamless mode in virtualbox ? The seamless mode menu seems disabled ... | 12:37 |
| dustball1 | its plugged in, i downloaded and installed the af9015-module and copied the firmware to /lib/firmware | 12:38 |
| KrisDouglas | Jinxed-, Even with the schematics i would imagine it would be a real pain, and the only thing i know of with windows drivers is NDIS and im pretty sure that it wouldnt be able to work off of it. | 12:38 |
| jgcampbell300 | is it possable to make 5 diffrent types of hard drives show up as one HD in ubuntu ? | 12:39 |
| === emc_ is now known as emc | ||

| schnux | campbell: of course - mount ... | 12:40 |
| computer_ | hmm do i need to have a windows cd to use virtualbox? | 12:40 |
| schnux | campbel: LVM | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | jgcampbell300: you mean 5 'different' hard drives showing up as one large filesystem? I cant think of 5 differnt types of hard drives. :) | 12:40 |
| jgcampbell300 | cool ... that would be neat to strip all my my storage drives togather | 12:41 |
| Dr_Willis | computer_: you install the guest OS inside virtual box.. its a 'virtual pc' - so you need some sort of OS to install into it. | 12:41 |
| jgcampbell300 | ya i mean sizes most are WD | 12:41 |
| Dr_Willis | jgcampbell300: untill one dies.. and you lose data on all them. | 12:41 |
| Jinxed- | KrisDouglas, so basically the end product of the device is that it is doing IP over usb... there aren't any other device drivers that I might be able to use for it? | 12:41 |
| jgcampbell300 | lol ... good point | 12:41 |
| Dr_Willis | jgcampbell300: you could just mount them all to a single 'Data' directory with each drive as a sub dir. | 12:41 |
| brijithmac | Hi all, How can I enable seamless mode in virtualbox ? The seamless mode menu seems disabled ... ? | 12:41 |
| KrisDouglas | Jinxed-, if you have googled around for any model numbers displayed on the device, and looked for alternative names, it's not looking promising. | 12:42 |
| jgcampbell300 | ya that would work | 12:42 |
| KrisDouglas | brijithmac, i mentioned before, you have to install guest additions | 12:42 |
| jgcampbell300 | i was thinking of the speed increase at first tho but loss of data would suck | 12:42 |

| computer_ | linux isnt very gamer friendly :( | 12:50 |
| Dr_Willis | karim__: so use 'compiz --replace' if compiz or metacity crashes you lose your title/decorations. You may want to install the fusion-icon tool. it can restart compiz if compiz crashes. | 12:50 |
| kisuke | computer_: no, game companys arent linux frendly | 12:50 |
| computer_ | lol kisuke | 12:50 |
| KrisDouglas | computer_, because nobody writes modern games for linux at the moment, Steam is soon going to change that, try using wine to run your games though, some of them work quite well | 12:50 |
| brijithmac | Dr_Willis:when I clicked the menu it asked me to download the guest addition.iso | 12:50 |
| Dr_Willis | game Companies are often not 'gamer' friendly | 12:51 |
| kisuke | computer_: its true. | 12:51 |

| Dr_Willis | i get my games from -> http://www.playdeb.net/welcome/ | 12:52 |
| KrisDouglas | Jinxed-, yes, possibly, if you install Virtualbox from virtualbox.org, install Windows, you should be able to load the device and use it as if it was on the PC. As for Wine I honestly don't know if it would work. | 12:53 |

| jgcampbell300 | hey Dr ... i have 4 partitions on a drive and i am trying to find the one to install grub to ... two say linux one extended and one swap ... how do i figure out witch one is right | 12:59 |
| PureSine | how can I activate it then ? | 12:59 |
| chris_osx | bastiaen: what is that? | 13:00 |
| Dr_Willis | jgcampbell300: you nromally install grub to the MBR of teh drive. Not a partition of the drive | 13:00 |
| TiK | henius | 13:00 |
| TiK | genuis, thanks | 13:00 |
| MaRk-I | !firewall | PureSine | 13:00 |
| ubottu | PureSine: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 13:00 |
| Dr_Willis | jgcampbell300: ie: install grub to /dev/sda NOT /dev/sda1 sda2 or any other # just 'sda' | 13:00 |

| Hedron | I was wandering, is there a way to actually stop using sudo, kdesudo, gksudo for every single admin task in ubuntu? I tried setting rootpw in sudoers, but for some tasks it continues to ask for user password instead root's one. | 13:04 |
| Dr_Willis | Takeasy: then i have no idea. I dont use xubuntu and i dont know how it handles the desktop icons. try #xubuntu perhaps | 13:04 |
| Mr | hello guys | 13:04 |
| slow-motion | hi | 13:05 |
| Takeasy | Dr_Willis: i got it, thx | 13:05 |
| Mr | had anybody tried qt | 13:05 |
| KrisDouglas | Hedron, sudo -i puts you in a permanent root shell for that session | 13:05 |
| Pengy | Hello!!! | 13:06 |
| Mr | almost drive me crazy | 13:06 |
| KrisDouglas | Hedron, if you were to launch any apps from that shell they would be running as root, and work as root. | 13:06 |
| Hedron | No, you do not understand, I do not whant to use sudo. At all. I whant to use su. | 13:06 |
| computer_ | gonna see if i can get GUildwars to work with wine, so far its working :) | 13:06 |
| Hedron | I whant to revoke all admin privileges from user | 13:06 |
| Mr | i use root | 13:06 |
| backTrack4 | use root | 13:06 |
| Hedron | me too, but whant to | 13:07 |
| kryl | hi | 13:07 |
| Hedron | stop sudo from appearing in places like kpackagekit | 13:07 |
| Mr | ah, why not root? | 13:07 |
| backTrack4 | heeeeeeee | 13:07 |
| Hedron | as I mentoined I set the rootpw in sudoers | 13:07 |
| razz1 | is there any application to make the sound output louder | 13:07 |
| KrisDouglas | Hedron, "su -" does the same thing and puts you in an admin shell, the idea of running in an environment like that is security, you can do "sudo passwd root" and login as root, but you open yourself up to any person being able to do anyting with your pc | 13:07 |
| Dr_Willis | its best to learn to use the 'sudo' system. | 13:07 |
| Hedron | I know, I have enough experience with other linux systems, such as fedora, opensuse | 13:08 |
| daedaluz | I lost volume control icon from panel for no reason and it's not in applet selector. WTF? | 13:08 |
| Hedron | I whant to know how to stop sudo from usage | 13:08 |
| An_Ony_Moose | uninstall it? | 13:08 |
| KrisDouglas | Then in that case, you can login as root by using sudo passwd root | 13:08 |
| KrisDouglas | and then running the system as root | 13:08 |
| Dr_Willis | daedaluz: the one next to the mail is one of those new kind of applet. theres also the old gnome-volume-control-applet you can run | 13:09 |
| Dr_Willis | daedaluz: did you remove that mail icon also? | 13:09 |
| Hedron | ok, tell me this - how using sudo to elevate ordinary user in ubuntu is diferent from run as under windows? | 13:09 |
| computer_ | i installed ubuntu through wubi inside my windows xp;...is there any way to acess my windows xp files while i am in ubuntu? | 13:09 |
| Hedron | I whant to completely disable admin privileges for a user | 13:09 |
| MaRk-I | !root | Hedron | 13:09 |
| ubottu | Hedron: 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 | 13:09 |
| Hedron | I know sudo passwd or sudo su | 13:10 |
| daedaluz | Dr_Willis: no it's still there | 13:10 |
| computer_ | ROFL ubottu | 13:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Hedron: theres more to sudo that what most people realize read up on it at --> http://www.sudo.ws/sudo/intro.html | 13:10 |
| Hedron | I have more than 7 years of unix/linux experience :-D | 13:10 |
| Dr_Willis | daedaluz: odd. it may of crashed. | 13:10 |
| An_Ony_Moose | computer_, ubottu is a bot | 13:10 |
| daedaluz | Dr_Willis: I've tried restarting | 13:10 |
| Hedron | yes, but the way it is popping up arround every corner in ubuntu is annoing | 13:11 |
| daedaluz | Dr_Willis: any idea what the process is called? | 13:11 |
| Dr_Willis | daedaluz: Hmm. You could reset the panels | 13:11 |
| Dr_Willis | !resetpanel | 13:11 |
| ubottu | To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 13:11 |

| computer_ | i am gonna put it on my facebook! | 13:11 |

| Hedron | or to say epic fail | 13:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Hedron: Sudo's been argued both ways in the forums.. and basically its how ubuntu works . so thats what this channel 'supports' | 13:11 |
| lostinspace_46 | When compiling software, if you have an .sh file (for instance genfslist.sh) does not that file need to be executable? | 13:11 |

| daedaluz | Dr_Willis: I tried resetting, still not there. only network manager, bluetooth and mail visible | 13:13 |

| ABBADON | Hi, I'm having a bit of a problem with GRUB, is this the correct channel to ask? | 13:14 |
| lostinspace_46 | Dr_Willis, I got the tarball for the program that allows you to "pretty up" the grub screen, and I am trying to compile it. However, even the configure file isn't executable till I make it so. | 13:14 |
| Dr_Willis | ABBADON: we can always point you to some wiki/docs/guides | 13:14 |
| KrisDouglas | geoff0110, ahh, that done does not have USB support, you need to uninstall it and download the non-open source version from the website at http://virtualbox.org | 13:14 |
| KrisDouglas | geoff0110, it's just a deb file, and it won't delete your virtual machines | 13:15 |
| tobiasz | newest kernel makes my Ubuntu load forever, it just stays at Ubuntu splashscreen, anyone got this problem too? I rarely can boot without problems on it | 13:15 |
| geoff0110 | ok sounds easy enough, apt-get remove virtualbox ? | 13:15 |
| KrisDouglas | thats right geoff0110 | 13:16 |
| geoff0110 | ok thanks KrisDouglas | 13:16 |
| ABBADON | Dr_Willis, Thank you, is there any reason why GRUB would stop at stage 1.5 when using a separate home partition on a USB hard drive? Every time I have it plugged it, GRUB stops. | 13:16 |
| KrisDouglas | tobiasz, please don't repeat yourself, if you are not getting a response, it usually means nobody knows the solution to the problem | 13:16 |
| KrisDouglas | tobiasz, have you tried removing the new kernel with recovery mode and replacing it with the older one | 13:17 |
| jgcampbell300 | is there a recovery program for grub ? | 13:17 |
| Hedron | You know, the combination "sudo su" is ridiculous enough, to make me whant to shoot the computer, obviously I will just continue using openSuSE, and I whanted to switch for using aptitude. But whatever. | 13:17 |
| geoff0110 | KrisDouglas: one last question will apt-get remove delete my .Virtualbox folder ? | 13:17 |
| KrisDouglas | geoff0110, no, when you install the new virtualbox it should read that data, but, i would make a backup copy to be sure | 13:18 |
| tobiasz | KrisDouglas I've got the older one, I am just willing to let Ubuntu devs know about that issue | 13:19 |
| === aron is now known as Guest59746 | ||
| geoff0110 | ok will do thanks | 13:19 |
| lostinspace_46 | Dr_Willis, It does not seem like the program would compile if files that need to be executable, aren't. Or am I missing something? BTW, some of the .sh files are executable and some are not. Might they get changed to executable when configure runs? | 13:19 |
| blip99 | hi all, yesterday I did some resizing of partitions with gparted to give space out of some logical partitions to my main root primary partition.

| smallfoot- | $ killall wine wineserver | 13:46 |
| ResQue | smallfoot-: yes i think you are right, ogg if defo the way farward, but although most players can play whats inside the ogg container they can not understand the container it self, i could be wrong i use VLC these days, and its been a while since i played one so it could be getting better | 13:46 |
| rapture | I'm getting a load of fake dead pixels, any ideas what could be causing them? | 13:46 |
| smallfoot- | ResQue, Ogg uses Vorbis for audio and Theora for video | 13:46 |

| rapture | running an NVIDIA card with 173 restricted drivers | 13:47 |
| smallfoot- | Researcher, VLC supports Ogg. Rhythmbox supports Vorbis audio. | 13:47 |
| ResQue | smallfoot-: i thought you could put any format you like inside a container? | 13:47 |
| fabio | smallfoot-: what about ipod sony walkman creative zen? | 13:47 |
| smallfoot- | ResQue, Ogg can contain many formats, but most commonly used is Theora and Vorbis | 13:48 |
| ResQue | fabio: the ipod might support it, you can play ogg audio on the thing i think. its been a long time since i looked into this | 13:48 |

| computer_ | cause its FREE!! lol | 13:49 |
| DiploCat | sony walkman definitely supports cassette | 13:49 |

| smallfoot- | JulioNeto, though Xorg should auto-detect proper good native resolution | 13:54 |

| cmpsalvestrini | ksbalaji: I suppose a repair upgrade could be doable, I never faced a power cut. Depending on your partitioning it could ba as "simple" as installing 10.04 directly instead of dealing with a broken upgrade, methinks. | 14:14 |

| artinstartin | jrib: I was running KleanSweep in sudo and now there is a kde problem but everything work (just no internet) also on start up it says cannot mount home, when i wsant to start in recovery mode. then also when i boot, it says problems mounting home, press s for skip, | 14:26 |
| jrib | artinstartin: what is kleansweep? | 14:26 |
| ksbalaji | cmpsalvestrini, But, I am no good with linux commands. especially those related with upgrade repair work! | 14:26 |
| artinstartin | jrib: a tool to delete unused files, or dead links | 14:26 |
| jrib | artinstartin: you need to figure out why you can't mount home | 14:27 |
| bugs_bugger | hey guys. anybody know what to do? i had trouble uninstalling the ubuntuzilla thunderbird-build. postremoval-script had an error. fixed the related line in the script, uninstalled it. now, when i install the ubuntu build of thunderbird, its being showed in synaptict as installed, but i cant execute it (file not found) and apt-get in the terminal states, its currently not instaled | 14:27 |
| cmpsalvestrini | ksbalaji: have you tried the recovery mode? My solution is quite... radical, so to speak, so I'd like to keep it as a last resort in case everything else fails. | 14:27 |
| artinstartin | jrib: oh now | 14:27 |
| artinstartin | jrib: oh no | 14:27 |
| Ejdesgaard_ | hi, i have compiled the latest kernel with yes '' | make oldconfig, rebooted and then tried to reinstall the ati driver for my HD3300... but i get the following: http://dpaste.org/Uxhw/ | 14:28 |
| artinstartin | jrib: i have ubuntu on a usb stick, do you see any chance? | 14:28 |
| ksbalaji | cmpsalvestrini, what is this recovery mode? I am able to boot the last kernel recovery - not the gui version. but command prompt is offered. | 14:28 |
| jrib | !kernel > Ejdesgaard_ | 14:28 |
| ubottu | Ejdesgaard_, please see my private message | 14:28 |
| deepk | Well behaving dual-boot Ubuntu 9.10 (with Windows Vista) suddenly stopped recognizing Keyboard. Windows Vista recognizes it. What might cause it? | 14:28 |

| giaco | please help me I've an ubuntu netbook edition that doesn't want to be in italian language, just english. It's 10.04, how am I supposed to change language? | 14:29 |
| erUSUL | giaco: System>Admin...>language support | 14:29 |
| jrib | giaco: enable italian where erusul said and then choose it at the login screen | 14:29 |
| artinstartin | jrib: where do i do that, while i run ubuntu? | 14:30 |
| jrib | artinstartin: where do you do what exactly? | 14:30 |
| Ejdesgaard_ | jrib, well... the reason why i compiled a newer kernel, is that kernel <2.6.35-rc4 has a bug that makes wow in wine act like garbage... | 14:30 |
| artinstartin | jrib: where di I mount from? | 14:30 |
| ksbalaji | cmpsalvestrini, monkey_dust_ I took a grave risk in upgrading without a backup. Even now, ubuntu is alive. but unable to get up and running! | 14:30 |
| jrib | Ejdesgaard_: that page details how to get restricted modules setup | 14:30 |
| artinstartin | jrib: don't understand what you mean | 14:31 |
| jrib | artinstartin: a terminal | 14:31 |
| cutiyar | hello | 14:31 |
| artinstartin | jrib: o i try | 14:31 |
| artinstartin | jrib: thanks | 14:31 |
| giaco | erUSUL, done it, thank you. | 14:33 |
| erUSUL | giaco: no problem | 14:33 |
| cmpsalvestrini | ksbalaji: Sounds like in CLI recovery mode it *should* be possible to run apt commands to redo the upgrade, otherwise I'm afraid the only way would be to download the 10.04 ISO and transfer it to an USB stick for a clean installation from the USB stick. I'm sure this is doable with your Knopix installation. | 14:34 |
| mattish | good afternoon :) | 14:34 |
| mattish | I have 2 ip's on eth0 and eth0:1 within the same network range, is it possible to set the default gateway to be on the alias interface ? | 14:34 |

| ksbalaji | knoppix livecd offers installation repair tools. How to use them to repair my broken Ubuntu upgrade? | 14:41 |
| sectroyer | Hi. How can I NOT run X by default in ubuntu ? | 14:42 |
| jrib | sectroyer: have gdm not start at boot | 14:42 |
| bazhang | ksbalaji, ask in a knoppix channel? | 14:42 |
| sectroyer | jrib: How ? :) | 14:42 |
| jrib | sectroyer: either edit /etc/init/gdm.conf and add "never" as a condition or just rename the file to something that doesn't end in .conf | 14:42 |
| ksbalaji | bazhang, I am worried about my crashed ubuntu upgrade. | 14:43 |
| unimatrix9 | rupeshitpatekar , maybe they are hidden files now, browse to your file with filebrowser, and hit crtl + h , | 14:43 |
| bazhang | ksbalaji, try to fix it then? not sure why you want a knoppix cd here | 14:43 |
| Lalon | ;) | 14:43 |
| hrhrhr_ | how do i enable normal 'su' | 14:43 |
| hrhrhr_ | instead of sudo | 14:43 |
| sectroyer | jrib: In which line should I add it? | 14:44 |
| mneptok | hrhrhr_: sudo -i | 14:44 |
| Lalon | is there anything like yahoo messenger in ubuntu? | 14:44 |
| gafir | Hi Folks, does anybody know if there's the equivalent of the iPad but with the capacity to run Ubuntu? a sort of Ubuntu Pad tablet? :-) | 14:44 |
| jrib | sectroyer: the one with the conditions, you can add "and never" | 14:44 |
| ksbalaji | bazhang, a knoppix livecd I found handy after ubuntu upgrade crashed. I seek help to fix the failed dpkg. | 14:44 |
| jrib | sectroyer: conditions *for starting* | 14:44 |
| hrhrhr_ | mnemon: is there no 'su' in ubuntu? | 14:44 |
| sectroyer | start on (filesystem ...) etc? | 14:44 |
| sipior | hrhrhr_: su comes installed by default, i believe. | 14:44 |
| bazhang | ksbalaji, try #knoppix then | 14:44 |
| mneptok | Lalon: Empathy can use the Y!IM protocol. | 14:44 |
| jrib | hrhrhr_: of course there's a su.... | 14:44 |
| hrhrhr_ | it doesn't seem to accept creds | 14:44 |
| rupeshitpatekar | @unimatrix9: I tried that command but still wont get my files | 14:45 |
| hrhrhr_ | like it's disabled | 14:45 |
| jrib | hrhrhr_: be more specific | 14:45 |
| gafir | hrhrhr_: You can do sudo -i, it's the equivalent of su sort of no? :-) | 14:45 |
| Lalon | mnemon, how to use that | 14:45 |
| mneptok | Lalon: start Empathy, add an account, make it a Y!IM account. | 14:45 |
| Lalon | mneptok, i have empathy but u know i can share my pic with my yahoo frnds and they can share their pics | 14:45 |
| jpds | hrhrhr_: There is no su. | 14:45 |
| ksbalaji | bazhang, forget about knoppix. Can you help me fix my failed Ubuntu upgrade please? | 14:45 |
| jpds | !noroot | hrhrhr_ | 14:45 |
| ubottu | hrhrhr_: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 14:45 |
| sipior | hrhrhr_: you can't use your own login's password with su, if that's what you're trying to do. | 14:45 |
| Lalon | mnemon, i know its there but u cant share pic there | 14:45 |
| Lalon | mneptok, | 14:45 |
| gafir | ubottu hrhrhr_: why not use sudo -i ? | 14:45 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 14:45 |
| mnemon | Lalon: ? | 14:46 |
| bazhang | ksbalaji, please restate your issue to the channel with as much detail as possible; if someone knows they will undoubtedly assist | 14:46 |
| Lalon | mnemon, not to u sorry | 14:46 |
| mneptok | mnemon: tab-complete fail | 14:46 |
| hrhrhr_ | sudo is er | 14:46 |
| hrhrhr_ | two extra chars to type | 14:46 |
| hrhrhr_ | and im lazy | 14:46 |
| mneptok | hrhrhr_: alias it | 14:46 |
| bazhang | hrhrhr_, easy on the enter key there | 14:46 |
| gafir | hrhrhr_: goodness :-) What a tough world we live in to type 4 letters instead of 2 | 14:46 |
| hrhrhr_ | and also | 14:46 |
| Kwpolska | I need to make my IP address in my local network static. How can I do that? | 14:46 |
| hrhrhr_ | sudo is gay | 14:46 |
| Lalon | so empanthy is only for messeging | 14:46 |
| hrhrhr_ | nm | 14:46 |
| unimatrix9 | ksbalaji , use knoppix live cd , but you can use the ubuntu live cd as well, backup all your data to an usb external drive or so , or maybe to an other partition, and do an clean install of ubunut ? | 14:46 |
| FloodBot4 | hrhrhr_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:46 |
| hrhrhr_ | google :P | 14:46 |
| jrib | hrhrhr_: wow. Stop. | 14:46 |
| Makoto | Enter text here...hiii | 14:46 |
| Lalon | u cant do anytin more there | 14:46 |
| erUSUL | Kwpolska: configure it as such in Network Manager ? | 14:47 |
| Makoto | how r u all?? | 14:47 |
| gafir | so, anybody knows of an ipad clone with UBuntu? :-) | 14:47 |
| Kwpolska | erUSUL: how? | 14:47 |
| Kwpolska | gafir: tablet pc's. | 14:47 |
| Kwpolska | not a clone. | 14:47 |
| mneptok | Lalon: Empathy does audio and video chat as well, if you have Linux-supported hardware | 14:47 |
| sectroyer | jrib: After adding "and never" linux restarts all the time. | 14:47 |
| Makoto | there is no susch a thing | 14:47 |
| rupeshitpatekar | @unimatrix9: I tried that ctrl+H command but still wont get my files back which are very important for mw | 14:48 |
| Lalon | mneptok, i have linux supported hardware how can i make audio video chat tell me | 14:48 |
| gafir | Kwpolska: but they are a bit pricey, like $4000 on Dell | 14:48 |
| erUSUL | Kwpolska: right click on the NM icon. choose edit connections. choose the right device and choose edit. go to ipv4 tab. choose manual fill the information | 14:48 |
| jpds | hrhrhr_: No, it isn't, it's been the default for years on Ubuntu and most people are happy with it. | 14:48 |
| gafir | Lalon: Why not use skype: www.skype.com | 14:48 |
| mneptok | Lalon: if your webcam works in Ubuntu then other IM users should see the option to have a video chat with you | 14:48 |
| Lalon | gafir, can u use yahoo chat in skype? | 14:48 |
| hrhrhr_ | i just dont agree with the whole 'all users are nubz so we need to keep them away from root shells' | 14:49 |
| Kwpolska | hmm, what was the ip... | 14:49 |
| sipior | hrhrhr_: so do what you want. who cares? | 14:49 |
| Lalon | mneptok, yah i know then what about me , how can i share my pic with my frnds and can accept their photo sharing | 14:49 |
| Da_Wrecka | Non-Linux question again... Assuming you were looking for a new 3.5" hard drive, and you were looking at two otherwise-identical drives, which would you prefer and why; 800GB with 64MB cache, or 1TB with 32MB cache? | 14:49 |
| unimatrix9 | ipad clone : http://wetab.mobi/ | 14:49 |
| rupeshitpatekar | Suddenly all files from my desktop deleted automatically but all folders are as it is but they wont contains files in it....how i can recover those files.......those data is very critical for me.......I also tried ctr+h command | 14:50 |
| Da_Wrecka | I ask here because of the channel I frequent, this one seems to have the most technically-minded occupants | 14:50 |
| bazhang | Da_Wrecka, ##hardware for that | 14:50 |
| Oer | Da_Wrecka, ask in #Ubuntu-offtopic ? | 14:50 |
| Da_Wrecka | *channels | 14:50 |
| Da_Wrecka | Oh, good point | 14:50 |
| mneptok | Lalon: i have no idea. i have never used the official Y!IM client and do not share photos. if i want someone to see a picture, i use the web. that's what the web is for. | 14:50 |
| ksbalaji | While upgrading from 8.04 to 9.10 (which was the only upgrade offered by the upgrade tool - when trying to upgrade to 10.04) powercut spoilt upgrade at the fag end. Downloads ware over. packages unpacked and config was being carried out. Now, aptitude asks to use dpkg -configure -a. But dpkg is unable to run for want of some read only files. HELP. | 14:50 |
| hrhrhr_ | sipior: i thought for a moment i might not be the only person who came from slack | 14:50 |
| * Da_Wrecka is stoopid, durrrr | 14:50 | |
| hrhrhr_ | and an answer would leap out at me | 14:50 |
| hrhrhr_ | clearly], this was foolish | 14:50 |
| sipior | hrhrhr_: if you can't figure out how to enable su, do you *really* think you should have unmitigated access to a root shell? | 14:51 |
| Lalon | mneptok, yeah u know .. but u know security issue is there when u put ur pic to web | 14:51 |
| simon__ | i installed mintbackuptool and now i cant acces to gnome.console mode says i am using mint(false),and gnome too(safe mode) | 14:51 |
| mneptok | hrhrhr_: the answer is "sudo -i" and if you don't like the extra characters make an alias for it. | 14:51 |
| hrhrhr_ | yes | 14:51 |
| astropirate | I was told that i could access a process's memory using the /prc/[PIC]/mem interface but when i open it in a text editor it's empty. and when i open it with using open() and read() it gives me the following errno error "No such process". Am i missing something here? | 14:51 |

| unimatrix9 | bye bye all ;) | 14:56 |
| gnomefreak | mint uses .deb take a look in /etc/apt/sources.list to see if you have mint repo in there | 14:56 |
| gnomefreak | simon__: ^^^ | 14:56 |
| ksbalaji | unimatrix, sorry for the delay - I have a very old ubuntu gutsy live cd which I fear may not support the purpose. However, I am able to boot upto the level of recovery prompt. can you guide to repair upgrade - with dpkg application please? | 14:56 |
| gnomefreak | more than likely it pulled in mint packages | 14:56 |
| Ejdesgaard_ | is there a ubuntu repos with bleeding edge kernels? | 14:56 |
| abhijit | !backports | Ejdesgaard_ | 14:57 |
| ubottu | Ejdesgaard_: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 14:57 |
| cutiyar | Lalon, install it from ubuntu center | 14:57 |

| Lalon | cutiyar, installed already | 14:58 |
| Lalon | so now the problem is using yahoo messenger | 14:59 |

| gafir | lalon cutiyar: I use Skype for linux, because I use it to have video chat with people who use linux or mac, and so skype is the prefered application | 15:00 |
| Synthead | nobody here knows how to install packages to a different root? | 15:00 |
| gafir | lalon cutiyar: I'd rather use something more open-source, but pidgin doesn't support video chat with skype | 15:00 |
| Lalon | gafir, but u know the ppl who use yahoo u cant do video chat with them in skype | 15:00 |
| biscottin | hi, anyone knows about a channel with focus asterisk? | 15:01 |

| marianna | can someone tell me where to find Network-Manager. I have it installed, but it's not in system or apps. | 15:01 |
| gafir | Lalon cutiyar: I don't think you can video chat with linux and yahoo messenger, you can use pidgin to connect to yahoo messenger and text chat and send files, but that's all | 15:01 |
| gnomefreak | marianna: look on your tool bar it should be there | 15:01 |
| gnomefreak | marianna: gnome == upper panel on right hand side | 15:02 |
| ksbalaji | Synthead, doubtful. I am trying for a week here now to repair my crashed ubuntu in it own root. | 15:02 |
| marianna | it got lost when I upgraded to Lynx | 15:02 |
| cutiyar | gafir, empathy also did that | 15:02 |
| Lalon | gafir, i see ... | 15:02 |
| marianna | It's not even in the 'add to panel' thing | 15:02 |
| gnomefreak | marianna: add it back, it should be in add to panel menu | 15:02 |
| Lalon | linux is incomplete u know... | 15:02 |
| gafir | cutiyar Lalon: Yes, Empathy does it too; I personally prefer Pidgin | 15:02 |
| biscottin | bazhang: yes, but in which network? here in freenode only 4 | 15:03 |
| Lalon | for msn i use emesene | 15:03 |
| Amway | what is the command to mount shared folder ? | 15:03 |
| Lalon | but for yahoo i can use none | 15:03 |
| Lalon | :( | 15:03 |
| gafir | Cutiyar Lalon: For Yahoo MEssenger Video, or even to have the photo sharing functionality, I have used VirtualBox with Windows XP inside of linux, and then install Yahoo Messenger in there | 15:03 |

| AdvoWork | philinux, anything inparticular i should be backing up? | 15:32 |
| philinux | AdvoWork: Your important stuff from /home | 15:33 |
| sipior | _iTroll: does tomboy not do tagging? | 15:34 |
| cmpsalvestrini | dewman: an xorg.conf file is still necessary AFAIK | 15:34 |
| AdvoWork | philinux, ahh ok, will it remove all that then, or could it | 15:34 |
| _iTroll | sipior: not afaik, and i had a look and couldnt see anything | 15:34 |
| nikolaj_basher | How can I get MC to use the internal editor as default? I tried to du it through MC but it won't work everytime I restart mc the default editor is vim? | 15:34 |
| aeon-ltd | nikolaj_basher: its in the config file | 15:34 |
| philinux | AdvoWork: No. an upgrade just upgrade the system files. But it can go wrong | 15:35 |
| aeon-ltd | nikolaj_basher: wouldn't you rather use your editor of choice anyway | 15:35 |
| nikolaj_basher | aeon-ltd, but I couldn't find the right line :( | 15:35 |
| philinux | AdvoWork: personally I would do a clean install. I have 3 partitions / /home /swap | 15:35 |
| nikolaj_basher | aeon-ltd, I love to use it.. | 15:35 |
| cmpsalvestrini | philinux: one other person I was chating with in here had an upgrade malfunction on account of his power failed, now he's recovering stuff. I fear that he's going to have to do a clean install tho. | 15:36 |
| philinux | cmpsalvestrini: I do a clean install with each new release. With home on it's own partition it's very easy | 15:37 |
| AdvoWork | philinux, not that easy to do clean install, at this second i mean anyway | 15:37 |
| philinux | AdvoWork: well just make sure you backup important stuff | 15:37 |
| philinux | AdvoWork: is this machine just ubuntu or dual boot? | 15:38 |
| cmpsalvestrini | philinux: you are wise my friend. | 15:39 |
| philinux | cmpsalvestrini: Experience I'm afraid though some failed upgrades back in 2007 | 15:40 |
| cmpsalvestrini | philinux: Ah, a graduate from the university of hard knocks I see | 15:41 |
| philinux | cmpsalvestrini: Although I've seen people upgrade from dapper to now with no problems lol | 15:41 |

| GDotODot | yea stupid keyboard | 15:52 |
| Lalon | totem player do problems like when i put my mouse on the bar of totem it shows video otherwise it shows black screen | 15:52 |
| Lalon | whats the problem | 15:52 |
| TTGRULES | ok... I am building a computer, and I have a nice MB to support the AMD Phenom II... it runs fine, but it says the chipset temperature is 127C.... I know that can't be right.. but it keeps restarting | 15:52 |
| TTGRULES | anyone have any ideas... | 15:53 |
| TTGRULES | ive tried a bunch of stuff with lm-sensors... | 15:53 |
| stu_ | i've used mplayer media player, but by installing mplayer i only get the video everytime i click on a vid? i don't get the player interface etc. | 15:53 |
| Lalon | TTGRULES, i think ur machine is becoming hot | 15:53 |
| sipior | TTGRULES: why can't it be right? | 15:53 |
| TTGRULES | because, | 15:53 |
| Lalon | TTGRULES, put extra cooling fan in ur cput box | 15:53 |
| mneptok | TTGRULES: did you attach the CPU heatsink and fan? ;) | 15:53 |
| GDotODot | BIGB where u at? | 15:53 |
| TTGRULES | I pointed an extra fan straight at it.. | 15:53 |
| sipior | mneptok: i was going to ask... :-) | 15:54 |
| BigB | here | 15:54 |
| TTGRULES | and it only went down to 109C | 15:54 |
| GDotODot | okay i see u | 15:54 |
| desti | there is no contact between your cooler and the chip | 15:54 |
| TTGRULES | if I go off the hypothesis that it is reporting in ferenheight..... | 15:54 |
| TTGRULES | and convert it to celsius.. | 15:54 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | hey all. thought I would point out something that may apply to ubuntu developers. I have downloaded and re-downloaded the ubuntu alternative 64-bit installation cd 3 times now, and there appears to be a problem with the kernel during installation.

| === marko-_-- is now known as marko-_- | ||
| desti | look in your system bios for the tempertures | 15:54 |
| Lalon | TTGRULES, too hot | 15:55 |
| TTGRULES | the sys bios doesn't give a chipset temp.. | 15:55 |
| TTGRULES | it has a northbridge and a southbridge... | 15:55 |
| TTGRULES | and I can't tell which one it thinks is 127C | 15:55 |
| Lalon | TTGRULES, then try to put a air cooler inside ur machine | 15:55 |
| Lalon | :D | 15:55 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | if I could get some help with this, I would appreciate it. I am going to do an MD5sum on the .iso, but when I check the CD to ensure that it is correct, it says the CD has no problems | 15:55 |
| cmpsalvestrini | TTGRULES: it's possible that the heatsink is not properly secured to the CPU, or that there is not enough goo between them. | 15:55 |
| mneptok | TTGRULES: you should ask in #hardware, or contact the mobo manufacturer. this is not an Ubuntu issue. | 15:55 |
| TTGRULES | I did.. it went down to 109C | 15:55 |
| TTGRULES | It looks like it reads the sensor as ferenheight.. or just reads it wrong... | 15:56 |
| TTGRULES | its cool to the touch.. | 15:56 |
| w00tw00t | hi how do I disable the password prompt (to unlock keyring) whenever i connect to my wireless network (wpa psk)? | 15:56 |
| TTGRULES | but the computer doesn't say so... | 15:56 |
| cmpsalvestrini | TTGRULES: and... 109C is *way* hot, that's the boiling point of water. It's more likely that it's reporting in Fahrenheit | 15:57 |

| w00tw00t | hi how do I disable the password prompt (to unlock keyring) whenever i connect to my wireless network (wpa psk)? | 15:57 |
| TTGRULES | then how does it get the temp | 15:57 |
| TTGRULES | the log says... critical system temperature reached 127C... shutting down | 15:57 |
| Lalon | TTGRULES, where u from | 15:58 |
| desti | i might be an acpi event thats initiated by your system bios | 15:58 |
| TTGRULES | is there a way I can set the shutdown temp to be higher? | 15:58 |

| cmpsalvestrini | TTGRULES: Probably tweaking on lm-sensors config file? I've never encountered any problems. | 16:02 |
| TTGRULES | why would it shut down? | 16:02 |
| TTGRULES | and is it normal for a chipset to run at over 100C? | 16:03 |
| TTGRULES | if I convert 109 from ferenheight to celsius its around 42 degrees.. is that a better estimate? | 16:04 |

| Solow-laptop | How do I install a .bin file? I downloaded java jdk, I need it for netbeans. | 16:05 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | TTGRULES: emergency shutdown parameters pertaining to temp are located in your BIOS | 16:05 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | TTGRULES: however, if your PC is operating at a temp which shuts it down, there are larger issues for you to mitigate. | 16:05 |

| ubottu | Solow-laptop: 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" » | 16:06 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | TTGRULES: where is your server located? Is it in an enclosed space? When is the last time you opened the computer case and cleaned it out? Dust can cause a lot of issues pertaining to hear retention | 16:06 |

| rizzuh_laptop | Why does the Ubuntu download page say 64-bit is not recommended for daily desktop usage? | 16:10 |
| Oer | cutiyar, maybe the dvd is encrypted, but there is a solution https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multimedia see the dvd part | 16:11 |
| rizzuh_laptop | 64-bit OS's are generally more efficient than 32-bit, unless you're kinda memory tight (<2GB). | 16:11 |

| Pici | AnxiousNut: s/\?.*$//g | 16:16 |
| rizzuh_laptop | philinux, it was fine for like 9.10 or 9.04, 32-bit was generally recommended and 64-bit "may provide additional capabilities for compatible hardware" - that was okay, not great, but okay | 16:16 |
| Pici | cutiyar: What part of the page do you not understand? | 16:17 |
| rizzuh_laptop | philinux, though you'd be hard pressed to find a system manufactured today that can run Ubnutu 32-bit but not 64-bit. | 16:17 |

| picard1421 | well its more for testing.. for a company | 16:47 |
| philinux | picard1421: try them both | 16:47 |
| adamkex | picard1421: that's up to you, i don't use arch anymore, i am giving ubuntu a swing right now, otherwise i use gentoo. if you want "optimizations" then go for gentoo. | 16:47 |

| picard1421 | its a $15,000 machine they are letting me play with before they actually use it i get it for a month | 16:47 |

| cutiyar | Pici, yup | 16:47 |
| picard1421 | yea ubuntu seems to have support and really good architecture ... im just comming over from Unix.. so... it seems wayyy more fun to say the least | 16:48 |
| econdudeawesome | picard1421 which are you coming from? Windows or Mac? | 16:48 |

| econdudeawesome | picard1421 then my opinion will not matter :-D but for me, as a techie, and my wife, as a nontechie, Ubuntu has been great. I really like Lubuntu remix--looks okay, very light impact | 16:50 |
| picard1421 | and then i just install whatever i feel like.. wether it be mac, windows, unix, w.e. it is ... | 16:50 |
| adamkex | picard1421: go for ubuntu (mini iso or not) or gentoo if you want "optimizations" | 16:50 |
| adamkex | picard1421: gentoo is more unix-ish | 16:51 |
| bt4 | Could you please open then close your cdrom drive and then pastebin the result of: dmesg ? | 16:51 |
| econdudeawesome | picard1421 so it really just matters what you got for ya. If you enjoy playing with linux in general, maybe fedora or debian is up your alley | 16:51 |
| picard1421 | the only thing i guess.. i know they have "wine"... how realisitic is that... my work needs me to use Outlook (idk why).. i wanted to use Zimbra.. but they insist on outlook clients.. (i know you can hook em up.. but still) is wine really useable? | 16:51 |
| econdudeawesome | picard1421 you can check out winehq for compatibility. I've found that to be an accurate source of info | 16:51 |
| econdudeawesome | !wine | picard1421 | 16:51 |

| econdudeawesome | adamkex I thought apt-get is a branch of aptitude, and uses the same code? | 16:54 |
| cutiyar | pici, yes with my ipod | 16:54 |
| econdudeawesome | adamkex or at lease the same thing... | 16:54 |
| rww | aptitude will actually tell you why something's uninstallable due to dependency problems, whereas apt-get will just spit out basic, useless, information and give up. | 16:54 |
| rww | If you don't have dependency problems, they're pretty much the same. | 16:54 |
| adamkex | econdudeawesome: it's not the same thing, it's a different frontend to dpkg | 16:54 |
| geri | is there a packet tinyos-2.1.0 in ubuntu? | 16:54 |
| rww | (on the command-line, anyway) | 16:55 |
| econdudeawesome | adamkex ah | 16:55 |
| _johnny | some c programmer please? | 16:55 |
| adamkex | econdudeawesome: listen to rww | 16:55 |
| geri | wrong chan;) | 16:55 |
| rww | geri: no, and considering that tinyos looks to be an OS, that's not really surprising | 16:55 |
| Pici | _johnny: C support is in ##C, you'll need to register to join there. | 16:55 |
| Pici | !register > _johnny | 16:55 |
| ubottu | _johnny, please see my private message | 16:55 |
| _johnny | geri: no, it's only an ubuntu issue | 16:55 |
| geri | rww, but there is a package in debian | 16:55 |
| geri | how that comes? | 16:55 |
| rww | geri: named "tinyos"? no there isn't | 16:55 |
| geri | yes | 16:55 |
| rww | geri: no: http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=tinyos | 16:55 |
| geri | rww, http://docs.tinyos.net/index.php/Installing_TinyOS_2.1 | 16:56 |
| geri | its metioned here | 16:56 |
| abhijit | _johnny, try in #c | 16:56 |
| econdudeawesome | rww but I like my basic, useless info ;-) What is the aptitude equivalent command for apt-get update && apt-get upgrade> | 16:56 |
| rww | econdudeawesome: aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade | 16:56 |
| _johnny | ok, thanks | 16:56 |
| rww | you can use upgrade too, but it's deprecated | 16:56 |
| adamkex | econdudeawesome: aptitude searches, apt-get doesn't | 16:56 |
| Pici | cutiyar: Please try: sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/sdd /media/cdrom | 16:56 |
| econdudeawesome | rwww and for apt-get dist-upgrade? | 16:56 |
| rww | geri: no, that's a repository for Debian. It's not part of debian | 16:56 |
| Pici | adamkex: Thats what apt-cache is for. | 16:56 |
| arvind_khadri | econdudeawesome, you can use dist-upgrade, thats better | 16:56 |
| picard1421 | is mini ubuntu a 2.4 kernel or 2.6? | 16:56 |
| adamkex | Pici: i know | 16:57 |
| rww | econdudeawesome: full-upgrade or dist-upgrade, second is deprecated | 16:57 |
| geri | rww, ?? | 16:57 |
| geri | rww, they do: sudo apt-get install tinyos-2.1.0 | 16:57 |
| picard1421 | or ubuntu 10.4 in general 2.4 kernel or 2.6 | 16:57 |
| econdudeawesome | rww I'm unfamiliar with the term: deprecacted? | 16:57 |
| adamkex | econdudeawesome: not used, old | 16:57 |
| arvind_khadri | picard1421, 2.6 | 16:57 |

| abhijit | !mini | picard1421 | 16:57 |
| ubottu | picard1421: 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 | 16:57 |
| adamkex | econdudeawesome: steam engines are deprecated | 16:57 |
| rww | econdudeawesome: Deprecated means that it's still supported, but recommended that you use another way because it may be removed in the future. | 16:57 |

| cablop | which is the ubuntu firewall? | 16:58 |
| Pici | geri: They also add a new repository in the first step. | 16:58 |
| rww | ubottu: ufw | cablop | 16:58 |
| ubottu | cablop: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 16:58 |

| Error404NotFound | when i set the properties on gnome-panel to be solid color and max transparent, why doesn't the region behind "Application-Places-System" go transparent as well? | 17:00 |
| geri | pici i need to download it manually? | 17:00 |
| Pici | econdudeawesome: 'full-upgrade' and 'dist-upgrade' do the same thing. | 17:00 |
| rww | econdudeawesome: it does the same as apt-get dist-upgrade. It may remove packages to satisfy dependencies, and is thus more likely to cause problems. Neither safe-upgrade nor full-upgrade (or their apt-get equivalents) will install packages with unsatisfiable dependencies, though aptitude's output is more informative. | 17:00 |

| Pici | econdudeawesome: I don't know the rationale behind renaming that argument. | 17:02 |
| Pici | geri: No, just follow the directions there. It sounds like you skipped the first few steps. | 17:02 |
| Pici | cutiyar: And you have a cd or dvd in that drive? | 17:02 |
| cutiyar | Pici, yes | 17:02 |
| cutiyar | Pici, i tired u so much iam so sorry but i have to | 17:03 |
| rww | Pici: because dist-upgrade is confusing, as comes up in here occasionally (since it's not actually used for Distribution Upgrades sometimes) | 17:03 |

| abhijit | Dr_Willis, yes | 17:06 |
| Dr_Willis | abhijit: its just a meta-package. Why are you doing this anyway? | 17:06 |
| xangua | abhijit: what are you trying to do¿ | 17:06 |
| arvind_khadri | abhijit, your gnome application settings and stuff | 17:07 |

| StefanMonov | Hi. I have a server pc with no GUI, which had a working internet connection yesterday but today it doesn't work. Can you help me fix it? It uses DHCP. | 17:07 |
| Dr_Willis | abhijit: that would have nothing to do with *-desktop packages i imagine | 17:08 |
| AnxiousNut | Help, the terminal allows me to do "sudo nautilus --no-desktop" but not "gksu"!! | 17:08 |
| abhijit | Dr_Willis, i want clean desktop actually | 17:08 |
| Dr_Willis | abhijit: make a new user. see if its slow for them. If its NOT.. then you just showed its a user setting/plugin thats the issue | 17:08 |
| adamkex | StefanMonov: type "dhclient eth0" in the server | 17:08 |
| abhijit | Dr_Willis, ok | 17:08 |
| xangua | or a lot of plugins in firefox case | 17:09 |
| Dr_Willis | abhijit: clean 'user settings' ? if so remove the users setting dirs.. nothing at all will be removed from the USERS settings if you remove the variouys packages | 17:09 |
| sipior | AnxiousNut: does gksudo work? | 17:09 |
| StefanMonov | adamkex: I did. it's also in /etc/rc.local. doesn't help | 17:09 |
| subsume | Hi everyone. I sense I might have a swollen kcore. Can someone help me diagnose it? | 17:09 |
| adamkex | StefanMonov: check the cable | 17:09 |
| abhijit | Dr_Willis, how to remove all my desktop user settings in order to get new clean settings? | 17:09 |
| Dr_Willis | abhijit: this isent windows. :) programs dont normally 'remove' their settings. and definatly dont touch settings in the users homes. | 17:09 |
| abhijit | xangua, ok | 17:09 |
| sipior | subsume: a swollen kcore? did you hit with something? | 17:09 |
| Dr_Willis | abhijit: delete whatever dirs/files teh settings are in, in the users home dir. | 17:09 |
| subsume | Maybe | 17:09 |
| subsume | its 750MB | 17:10 |
| abhijit | Dr_Willis, yah ok | 17:10 |
| subsume | seems exorbidant | 17:10 |
| AnxiousNut | sipior, yes it works but not with the nautilus command: gksudo -q nautilus --no-desktop doesnt work | 17:10 |
| StefanMonov | adamkex: double checked, plugged and blinking | 17:10 |
| adamkex | StefanMonov: do you get an error message? | 17:10 |
| philinux | abhijit: do you mean you want a default ubuntu desktop | 17:10 |

| sipior | subsume: no, don't do that. | 17:11 |
| StefanMonov | adamkex: well, I haven't looked for an error msg in dmesg or anything | 17:11 |
| subsume | its done | 17:11 |
| sipior | subsume: do you understand what kcore is? | 17:11 |
| StefanMonov | adamkex: but dhclient doesn't give an error | 17:11 |

| abhijit | philinux, ok. my all imp data in /home | 17:17 |
| adamkex | StefanMonov: you're welcome, sorry that i could not help | 17:17 |
| MitsuoDeshoDesho | arvind_khadri, I think make uninstall says something about not being available in the current tre | 17:17 |
| MitsuoDeshoDesho | e | 17:17 |

| Dr_Willis | n00b_: i hope you got some backups | 17:18 |
| arvind_khadri | MitsuoDeshoDesho, oh ok, read the documentation first, also try asking in #gcc once. | 17:18 |
| blendmaster1024 | I have a rather serious problem: in one of my two ubuntu installs on my laptop, the one I use, the network manager icon ALWAYS says "networking disabled". period, no matter how much I restart NM. any idea what could cause this? | 17:18 |
| Dr_Willis | n00b_: what filesystem is the data on? ext2/3/4? | 17:18 |
| MitsuoDeshoDesho | arvind_khadri, I will. | 17:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | n00b_, an I/O error may indicate a failing drive. In a terminal type "dmesg" and see if your kernel is see lots of I/O errors. Best of luck, and i agree with Dr_Willis backup statement above. | 17:19 |
| blendmaster1024 | n00b_: make that "dmesg | tail" | 17:20 |
| krambiorix | i bought myself a wireless mouse (Microsoft) but sometimes it crashes (as in stops working). What could be the problem? | 17:20 |
| ZykoticK9 | blendmaster1024, right click on network icon, "enable networking" ? | 17:20 |
| Dr_Willis | ZykoticK9: theres some 'tools' that may help you in recovering the data from the partition. but it will take some work. and is not guarenteed | 17:20 |
| Micheal` | krambiorix, bluetooth or rf? | 17:20 |
| blendmaster1024 | ZykoticK9: I didn't know you could do that ... I thought something in /etc was shut off :P | 17:20 |
| ZykoticK9 | Dr_Willis, i think you mean n00b_ ;) | 17:20 |
| n00b_ | Dr_Willis: i dnt knw the file sys . it is saying folder(inode/dir) | 17:21 |
| blendmaster1024 | ZykoticK9: yep, looks like it. | 17:21 |
| racerd | zykotick9 | hey | 17:21 |
| blendmaster1024 | ZykoticK9: thanks, rebooting back to the good install now | 17:21 |

| Dr_Willis | n00b_: the fsck command should of mentioned it.. you are not trying to use fsck.ext3 on a ntfs or vfat partition are you? | 17:21 |

| racerd | zykotick9 | I am about intstall windows on another drive. It is grub i want to install after that right? | 17:22 |

| econdudeawesome | madmax_x I checked there, but saw nothing... | 17:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | racerd, grub1 is the older grub, what version of Ubuntu are you using (was it updated between versions?)? | 17:22 |
| econdudeawesome | madmax_x where would the config file be? | 17:23 |
| madmax_x | Dr_Willis, i tried gnome-terminal "MYPATH" didnt work | 17:23 |
| Dr_Willis | madmax_x: check gnome-terminal --help for options | 17:23 |

| n00b_ | mrjbg: sudo apt-get remove | 17:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | racerd, well so long as that wasn't upgraded from previous versions - then you are probably using grub2 | 17:23 |

| mrjbg | n00b_: i need to completely remove everything that has to do with eclipse | 17:24 |
| Dr_Willis | madmax_x: its the -e option.. 'gnome-terminal -e cd /' | 17:24 |
| n00b_ | mrjbg: it would be better u delete alll the files from synaptic | 17:24 |
| krambiorix | Micheal`, well, it after booting it works but suddenly it stops working | 17:25 |
| sjm | mrjbg: check the purge option of apt-get or aptitude or "remove completely" in synaptic. | 17:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm. -e seems briken | 17:25 |
| n00b_ | mrjbg: it will help you | 17:25 |

| warz | hi all, is there a utility that will show me the MD5 hash of a file? | 17:34 |
| warz | or checksum, or whatever it is | 17:34 |
| sipior | caution: you'll probably want to ensure that your ISP allows for proper reverse-dns lookups of your address, or you'll find that most of your mail does not make it to its destination. | 17:35 |
| Dr_Willis | !md5 | 17:35 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 17:35 |
| Dr_Willis | warz: the md5 command.. | 17:35 |
| warz | md5sum* | 17:35 |
| caution | sipior: what do you mean by proper? | 17:35 |
| warz | thanks | 17:35 |
| sipior | caution: easier just to set up postfix to use your ISP's smtp as a relay. | 17:35 |
| sipior | caution: i mean "it works" :-) | 17:36 |

| Dr_Willis | napsy: other then disabling Plymouth you mean? :) | 17:37 |
| napsy | yes, ofcurse | 17:37 |
| sipior | caution: most places will happily hand out ip addresses, but will not maintain a reverse-lookup table, mapping ip addresses to hostnames. most smtp servers are configured not to accept mail from machines whose names don't match their addresses. | 17:38 |

| abhijit | hello | 17:39 |
| abhijit | philinux, Dr_Willis, xangua thanks :) | 17:39 |
| caution | so the solution is not to use an invalid host name in the HELO | 17:39 |
| philinux | abhijit: nice one | 17:40 |
| sipior | caution: right, the question of how that validity is established brings us back to the reverse-dns query. | 17:40 |

| sjm | racerd, I sent it a little earlier, I think it's "linux-image" (just make sure you leave at least the one you want to still use) | 18:01 |
| rww | racethesunlive: If you set the persistant option, yes. | 18:02 |
| racethesunlive | preecher: you can update using the command line, its 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' | 18:02 |

| sjm | preecher, the update just updates the list of packages, the "upgrade" is what pulls the updates down. | 18:05 |

| cannonballs | any Ideas? | 18:25 |
| MikeHoncho | Does anyone have a recommendation for a multi-threaded download manager? | 18:26 |
| cablop | !clipboard | 18:26 |
| hal_canary | I've got a quick question. I just want sound when I get a new instant message from Empathy, but I don't want any other sounds on my system. How do I do that? | 18:26 |
| cablop | any good clipboard manager for gnome? i got used to ditto-cp in windows, now i need one in linux | 18:26 |
| MikeHoncho | cablop: Parcellite? | 18:27 |
| ActionParsnip | MikeHoncho: uget is one I used to use. Not sure what multithreaded is in the context | 18:27 |
| Pici | cablop: glipper? | 18:27 |
| ActionParsnip | +1 for glipper | 18:27 |
| Sasquatch7 | I have a simple bash script that opens a web browser. Though I want the browser to open in the background and not effect the terminal/application I'm currently using. Is this possible? | 18:27 |
| === MK|BNC is now known as MK-BB | ||
| coz_ | cablop, how about glipper | 18:27 |
| coz_ | cablop, it is a panel applet i believe | 18:28 |
| MikeHoncho | ActionParsnip: Looking for something that'll download a file in multi-parts at the same time. Speeds up the download. | 18:28 |
| cannonballs | so...? anyone know what the "unable to find a mediuym containing a live file system" error during install could be? | 18:28 |
| hal_canary | Sasquatch: $browser_exevutable > /dev/null 2>&1 & | 18:28 |
| ActionParsnip | hal_canary: set the system sound theme to none (or remove the ubuntu-sounds package). You can then set the sounds as you wish in empathy | 18:28 |
| hal_canary | But that didn't work. | 18:28 |
| coz_ | cannonball, if you are running with the live cd then something ismost likely up with your cdrom | 18:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Sasquatch7: add an ampersand on the end of the commands to background them | 18:29 |
| ActionParsnip | MikeHoncho: not heard of that | 18:29 |
| ActionParsnip | cannonballs: did you md5 test the iso and verify the cd? | 18:30 |
| cannonballs | what do you mean something wrong with my cdrom? The Drive is working fine, this is a fairly new pc | 18:30 |
| anAngel | Hello, can u tell me some free log analyzers that work with shorewall, iptables or any other good network analyzer programs/scripts | 18:30 |
| cannonballs | yes | 18:30 |
| ActionParsnip | cannonballs: is the install media verified in any way? | 18:30 |
| surfereddie | hello | 18:30 |
| cannonballs | I havd this problem about 6moths ago, and just gacve up | 18:30 |
| Sasquatch7 | ActionParsnip: I have that already and it still opens and automatically redirects me into the browser window :\ | 18:31 |
| coz_ | cannonball, ok when you run the live cd choose the "Check cd" option | 18:31 |
| cannonball | cannonballs: Nice nick :-) | 18:31 |
| cannonballs | haha thanks this is my mmo nick I've used for years | 18:31 |
| coz_ | cannonballs, use the check cd option from the live cd to be sure the cd itself is not corrupted | 18:31 |
| ActionParsnip | cannonballs: when you boot the cd, press space then select check cd for defects as coz_ suggests | 18:31 |
| cannonballs | -->ActionParsnip I dont know | 18:32 |
| Micheal` | O_o! why did i have a server kernel?? | 18:32 |
| ActionParsnip | cannonballs: I just gave you the method. The cd you burned sounds bad. | 18:32 |
| strangeseraph | I'm having trouble with java | 18:32 |
| strangeseraph | can anybody help me? | 18:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Micheal`: you install the server release or installed the kernel manually | 18:33 |
| coz_ | cannonballs, when burning an image you might want to burn it at 1x or the slowest possible speed on the application you use | 18:33 |
| abhijit | !ask | strangeseraph | 18:33 |
| ubottu | strangeseraph: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 18:33 |
| ActionParsnip | !details | strangeseraph | 18:33 |
| ubottu | strangeseraph: 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 ..." | 18:33 |
| cannonballs | ok I'll do the hit spacebar thing during install and see | 18:33 |
| coz_ | cannonballs, this will help in getting a good burn...also ...if you want " less to burn" therefore less to corrupt...download the minimal install cd and go from there | 18:34 |
| ActionParsnip | cannonballs: also md5 testing the iso will tell you if the file you have downloaded is complete and consistant | 18:34 |
| coz_ | ^^ | 18:34 |
| Micheal` | ActionParsnip, it is very much a desktop release. and maybe it is from when i was playing with xen.... | 18:34 |
| strangeseraph | All right. I have a chat room that I regularly visit which is on a custom in browser java chat window. It can be found here (but you have to be logged in to see it). http://forums.romancedivas.com/index.php?app=chat Its normally worked fine, but today its not displaying the custom commands and buttons correctly, and I am unable to connect fully to the chatroom | 18:35 |
| sjm | ActionParsnip, cannonballs just left, but if he returns, another thing that causes that is a CD drive that is recognized by the BIOS, but not the drivers on the livecd. | 18:35 |
| strangeseraph | this happened after an update of my computer and I'm really not sure which updates could have caused it. | 18:35 |
| === kjelle_ is now known as sjefskode | ||
| courtni | Hi everyone, is there anyway to changa from the netbook version of ubuntu to the desktop version? | 18:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Micheal`: you could make the steps to remove the kernel/s then see what else will need to be remove (the deps). You can cancel the removal after reviewing the list by pressing n | 18:35 |
| gabriel_pimentel | Hi everyone | 18:35 |
| Micheal` | ActionParsnip, ty | 18:36 |
| sjm | courtni, they're basically the same except a few user interfaces, I think. | 18:36 |
| ActionParsnip | sjm: I'm shooting for bad cd as so many people are ignorant of md5 and cd checking | 18:36 |
| === NiCeWoLf is now known as NiCeWoLf|away | ||

| sjm | ActionParsnip, I've run into that, though many a time and had to install from a usb cd drive | 18:37 |
| gabriel_pimentel | I have a problem with ubnutn 10.4, I cant connect to my wireless network, I have a RTL8187 chipset | 18:37 |
| ActionParsnip | sjm: true but still need to md5 before transferring | 18:37 |
| courtni | the only thing I wanted to change was the user interface actually, is there another way to do this? | 18:37 |
| sjm | ActionParsnip, true. Just another troubleshooting step. | 18:38 |
| ActionParsnip | courtni: vhange in what way? | 18:38 |
| perlDreamer | since updating to FF 3.6.8, all textareas are using \r\n instead of just \n as line-endings. Google and launchpad aren't showing anything about this. What should I do next to track this down? | 18:38 |
| coz_ | yes it is ALWAYS wise to check the md5 sum of an iso ...if avialable..and they are available for ubuntu | 18:38 |
| ActionParsnip | perlDreamer: have you tried creating a new profile? | 18:38 |
| gabriel_pimentel | I have a problem with ubuntu 10.4, I cant connect to my wireless network, I have a RTL8187 chipset , I can see the network but It doesnt connect | 18:38 |
| sjm | courtni, yes. I did a google search to find out how to do it on mine, just a sec to see if I can find the pages... | 18:39 |
| warz | Hi all. I installed the Desktop version of Ubuntu, but am trying to disable the automatic bootup of Gnome. I don't want it to use that graphical login prompt, either. I can't seem to disable this. I've tried rcconf, and that did nothing. | 18:39 |
| warz | Any ideas? | 18:39 |
| perlDreamer | ActionParsnip, no. I'm kind of partial to the current profile. | 18:39 |
| strangeseraph | and this is why I ask for help because I always get silence if I just ask the question. | 18:39 |
| ActionParsnip | perlDreamer: sure but its useful to troubleshoot don't you think. You can have more than one profile | 18:39 |
| coz_ | strangeseraph, if no one knows the answer...unfortunately they simply dont resond...if that happens again ...simply repost the question...and hang out or if it is a problem that may be linux in general you can to to the ##linux channel :) | 18:40 |
| nimbiotics | Since upgrading to 10.04, i've had more than a couple of issues, some of which have already been tackled. Next one i think i must address is some error messages I can see just before the graphical interface starts, but that I cannot catch. How can I catch them so I can post them here?? TIA! | 18:40 |

| gabriel_pimentel | My connection worked fine a few days ago, now it doesnt, I have a RTL8187 chipset, I can see the network but when I try to connect It wont let me | 18:41 |
| sjm | courtni, I think you can just change it on login, IIRC. After selecting your login name, change which session you want at the bottom before entering your password. | 18:42 |
| khider | Greetings all--I installed xubuntu on my laptop (hp6515b) and it no longer detects my wifi card via lspci. How to remedy? | 18:42 |
| philinux | perlDreamer: run firefox in safe mode. firefox -safe-mode can you post a screenshot of what you see. | 18:42 |
| ActionParsnip | strangeseraph: do you have the latest java? Does java work in other pages? | 18:42 |
| madmax_x | gabriel_pimentel, did you compile your drivers? | 18:43 |
| lakowasi | When I download truecrypt I cannot extract the tar.gz file it says:unexpected end of file tar Unexpected EOF in archive tar Error is not recoverable exiting now | 18:43 |
| ActionParsnip | khider: run: sudo lshw -C network ,should show you stuff | 18:43 |
| lakowasi | what can i do? | 18:43 |
| strangeseraph | I have a source for java in my repository so it should always be the latest. This particular chat room requires sun java. | 18:43 |
| ActionParsnip | lakowasi: sounds like a bad download | 18:43 |
| strangeseraph | java works everywhere else yes. | 18:43 |
| strangeseraph | but I'll double check other java places just in case | 18:43 |
| khider | ActionParsnip: What about installing wifi drivers--it is hard to install drivers when it does not detect... | 18:43 |
| lakowasi | ActionParship: I downloaded 3 times already | 18:43 |
| gabriel_pimentel | the wireless car is recognized | 18:44 |
| perlDreamer | ActionParsnip: new profile behaves the same way | 18:44 |
| ActionParsnip | strangeseraph: go to www.java.com to check it is the latest | 18:44 |
| gabriel_pimentel | the wireless card is recognized | 18:44 |
| nimbiotics | ActionParsnip: http://dpaste.com/222837/ | 18:44 |
| madmax_x | gabriel_pimentel, are you using the provided drivers or did you compile from source | 18:44 |
| ActionParsnip | perlDreamer: ok cool, sounds like a bug then. How did you install the browser? | 18:44 |
| perlDreamer | it's stock ubuntu | 18:44 |
| strangeseraph | ah! there is an update! :) | 18:45 |
| gabriel_pimentel | ubuntu recognizeds | 18:45 |
| ActionParsnip | nimbiotics: its no use to me. I suck at xorg errors. That lot of text is you x server loading and will show issues etc | 18:45 |
| paco_ | hola buenas tardes | 18:45 |
| gabriel_pimentel | ubuntu recognized it automatically, it was working fine until a few days ago | 18:45 |
| sebsebseb | Hi | 18:45 |
| strangeseraph | but why isn't it in the repository? I don't know how to use this bin thing. Ubuntu won't do anything when I double click in. | 18:45 |
| strangeseraph | it* | 18:45 |
| gabriel_pimentel | saludos paco | 18:45 |
| ActionParsnip | perlDreamer: try adding the mozilla ppa. The later build may cure the issue | 18:45 |
| paco_ | me pueden ayudad ? | 18:45 |

| strangeseraph | will the new updates eventually go to the repository? | 18:49 |
| ActionParsnip | strangeseraph: there are guides around on how to use it, you basically mark it as executable and run it as user, it extracts n | 18:49 |

| abhijit | help | 18:51 |
| strangeseraph | seems like it'd be easier to wait for the repo update than fiddling with an installer. Thanks. | 18:51 |
| ActionParsnip | perlDreamer: simply adding the ppa doesn't do much, you have to tell the system to upgrade and it will pull down new stuff | 18:51 |

| ilovefairuz | ozzloy: use the up arrow and press enter | 19:38 |
| matt_keys | quiet_guy: like i said it's got limited drivers. I'm not sure the live cd has dual monitor support, it's more for just trying it out | 19:38 |
| Phoenixz | terry_: Pici: Guess what, the jaunty wmi-client package seems to work! At least it installed without problems! :) | 19:38 |
| fling | ilovefairuz, general response and info, quick response to an ez question, tho your right it's bz.. | 19:39 |
| ozzloy | ilovefairuz, heh. i'm writing a bash script | 19:39 |
| Pici | NiCeWoLf: I'm not sure whats going on then. I havent used xchat myself in a long time. You may want to ask in #xchat | 19:39 |
| samijam | I saw something once that asked me if I wanted my system to automatically provide feedback about software usage/performance or something like that, but I can't find where that was... anybody know what i'm talking about? | 19:39 |
| NiCeWoLf | Pici: what you use? | 19:39 |

| ozzloy | Pici, word | 19:39 |

| sweetpi | ozzloy: why not just get rid of "-c 1" and it will ping forever | 19:41 |
| sweetpi | gabriel_pimentel: you need to login to your access points web interface and look | 19:42 |
| ozzloy | because the `somestuff` tries to make it so pinging will work | 19:42 |
| ozzloy | so i need to run somestuff, then try pinging, then run somestuff again if pinging didn't work | 19:42 |

| ilovefairuz | axon: right click on network icon and select "Connection Info" | 19:55 |
| fling | pici yes, but installing both causes issues | 19:55 |

| theoctagon | profxavier: http://partmaps.org/era/unix/award.html | 20:47 |
| profxavier | oCean_, didnt work, no makefile found, would that have to do with the fact I have esmtp-run installed ? | 20:47 |
| profxavier | theoctagon, I am joking as well :D | 20:47 |
| iceroot | markus___: sure | 20:47 |
| guest1 | join #distutils | 20:47 |
| therealpsychx | markus___: You might want to look into ubootin for that, it sets up your flash drive for you. It can also download most official distrobutions for you. | 20:47 |
| yofel | calmdude: er, crashes right after installing? do you mean the hardware drivers app or the whole sytem, or do you mean the system doesn't boot right after reboot | 20:48 |
| oCean_ | profxavier: yeah, that could be. Sorry, got no other option to try then.. | 20:48 |
| gnomefreak | thanks yofel :) | 20:48 |
| markus___ | iceroot: Any idea why it complains about no CD-ROM? | 20:48 |
| calmdude | it boots with low res mode, i checked the nvidia settings manager and it says "not installed" too | 20:48 |
| iceroot | markus___: who? the bios? the installer? | 20:48 |
| Eftarjin | hi. any way to read a webm video with 10.4 packages ? | 20:48 |

| calmdude | i created an xorg.conf file as nvidia settings manager suggests, so it looks working for now. but my bootloader res is lower and its not stable as it should be | 20:49 |

| spider | #join chaosradio | 20:49 |
| markus___ | iceroot: I can boot the installer but after a while it says that there is no CD-rom, if I go to Test media it says that right away | 20:49 |
| Micheal` | calmdude, thats the same issue i was having | 20:49 |
| yofel | calmdude: oh, boot loader res being lower is a known issue | 20:49 |
| calmdude | man its so depressing | 20:49 |
| Micheal` | calmdude, did that happen to you after a update? | 20:50 |
| jongleur1 | to repeat my problem: my wlan0 is gone at current ubuntu10.04, asus eee 1101HA. Worked before (today in the morning). output of sudo lshw -C network can be found at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/470388/ | 20:50 |
| calmdude | before & after, confirmed with several fresh lucid installs | 20:50 |
| calmdude | also i386 & amd64 | 20:50 |
| Micheal` | what card? | 20:50 |
| yofel | calmdude: low res on boot should be bug 563878 (if you have a launchpad account click on 'This bug affects ...' and please don't add a comment) | 20:51 |

| YzN | I have connected my external hard disk to ubuntu, but it doesn't seem to recognize it? | 20:51 |
| calmdude | i cant make it with nouveau drivers | 20:52 |
| yofel | calmdude: yes, nouveau has no vdpau support (and won't have it for a while I guess) | 20:52 |
| ilovefairuz | YzN: any relevant messages in /var/log/messages ? | 20:52 |

| Shagnasty | YzN: Do other USB devices work? | 20:52 |
| yofel | calmdude: but the low res issue won't be fixed in lucid as it's too risky, the devs are trying to improve it in maverick but that broke other drivers currently | 20:53 |
| ghoulsblade | should i file a bugreport ? what url can i use ? | 20:53 |
| harvi | YzN: ubuntu version? | 20:54 |

| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 20:54 |
| YzN | shagnasty: USB devices work and am able to view, so are the internal hard disks, but this hard disk connected via the USB does not show. I would also like to tell you that when I was on windows XP, it was asking me to format it, howver works normal on windows 7. | 20:54 |
| yofel | calmdude: where did you get 256.35 from? | 20:54 |
| calmdude | from nvidia.com | 20:55 |
| yofel | eeeek | 20:55 |
| oCean_ | YzN: immediately after connect, what does 'dmesg' output | 20:55 |
| calmdude | and it was pretty nice, anyway i bet it can crash after kernel update | 20:55 |
| tomi | stats /p | 20:55 |
| yofel | calmdude: well, while that certainly is a way to get them, they don't provide a proper .deb package so the drivers don't survive a kernel update | 20:55 |
| calmdude | so i leave it too, right now messing with 195 from repo | 20:55 |
| Shagnasty | Is it NTFS or FAT? | 20:55 |
| yofel | calmdude: the x-updates ppa has a proper packaged 256, let me get the link | 20:56 |
| calmdude | nope | 20:56 |

| calmdude | gt220 here | 20:58 |
| calmdude | it must be worked for somebody, feedback says it is | 20:58 |
| oCean_ | YzN: no I get that. That is why you have to run 'dmesg' command. See last couple of lines (like last 10-15) It should show that the system actually sees an usb device connect. Has nothing to do with showing up on desktop | 20:58 |
| calmdude | so what if i downgrade to karmic, what about the up to dateness? :-) | 20:58 |
| yofel | calmdude: hm, maybe what failed was the 'Hardware Drivers' app, not the driver itself | 20:58 |
| AvonGenesis | How can i get a higher resolution? I usually run 1440x900 on windows, but im limited to 1280x768 on ubuntu. Can i raise it somehow? | 20:59 |
| YzN | Shagnasty: the problem is that I'm not able to know, it belongs to my friend, however for it to work on XP it asks me to format it to NTFS which is a problem in deleting all files on Disk. | 20:59 |
| oCean_ | calmdude: downgrade? | 20:59 |
| yofel | calmdude: you could try to install 'nvidia-current' in synaptic and run 'sudo nvidia-xconfig' in a terminal, should work | 20:59 |
| yofel | don't forget to reboot | 20:59 |
| yofel | not only logout | 20:59 |
| calmdude | been there done that yofel and it cause the low res bootloader | 21:00 |

| oCean_ | YzN: yes, don't paste here | 21:00 |
| Oer | low res bootloader is that any problem ? | 21:00 |
| yofel | calmdude: well, that's partly the drivers fault, you can certailny work around that, but that doesn't mean the driver doesn't work | 21:00 |
| calmdude | i make the bootloader res higher with grub workaround, well | 21:00 |
| yofel | calmdude: it's just that the splash and the nvidia / ati (and some other) drivers don't work well with the splash | 21:00 |

| calmdude | i can switch to intel, if it has vdpau | 21:03 |
| Shagnasty | YzN: open console, type "tail -f /var/log/messages" then unplug and replug the external drive, it should tell you what it sees | 21:03 |

| n0a1ias | is the site down or am i just unlucky? | 21:29 |
| cypher-neo | zizo, All you need is Wine and the playonlinux packages installed. | 21:29 |

| Database | rob_p, I think I'm going to check the connection under Ubuntu. | 21:30 |

| cypher-neo | Database, I've never had a problem running Photoshop on Linux through Wine. However, I discovered last year, much to my surprise that GIMP on Linux is quite different and much more professional a program than Windows GIMP. | 21:31 |

| zizo | cypher-neo : what it ? | 21:34 |
| kerebrus | JenniferB what is it not doing or doing? | 21:34 |

| Shagnasty | YzN: Your computer is recognizing it as /dev/sdb but apparently it will not read it | 21:37 |
| nilsen | hey | 21:38 |
| KE1HA | zizo, GIMP and Blener make a power combinaiton for Photo / 3D Editing. It's a bit of a leaning curve, but well worth it. Blender is the equal to 3D Studio Max. | 21:38 |
| zizo | cypher-neo : yes i'm try it really but i love photoshop this is expert | 21:38 |
| cypher-neo | zizo, There are a couple hundred GIMP packages that can be installed as plugins available in Synaptic and online which can turn GIMP into a program that rivals Photoshop. Blender is also a good 3D program... what KE1HA said. | 21:38 |
| YzN | Shanasty: Owh no idea...I'm uploading a snapshot now, and I would just like to add that my friend told me it's password protected if that makes any difference? | 21:38 |

| ledoktre | I was hoping someone in the group today might be able to answer an interesting question. I was having trouble with the mouse themes not working, and traced it back to a bug in compiz-core. I have patched the compiz-core deb file as instructed, and installed it. The problem though, the very next time the pc updates, it wants to install the original compiz-core. I am trying to "pin" my... | 21:42 |
| ledoktre | ...version, but because the original and patched compiz core have the same name, I can't seem to figure out how to pin mine. Anyone know how I might get the update manager to hide compiz-core from updating? | 21:42 |

| calmdude | i am planning to install karmic instead of lucid, so i can use nvidia prop drivers. is it a good idea? | 21:49 |
| calmdude | firefox for example | 21:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | calmdude, packages don't get version updates during a release, so the packages in Karmic will by older then in Lucid. | 21:50 |
| calmdude | :-/ | 21:50 |
| sudipta | <cypher-neo>ok | 21:50 |

| ledoktre | appamajig: I checked out that link. That scenario seems to be just the ticket. I am trying it right now, but for some reason, it still shows compiz-core in the list to update, it just is de-selected. Is this normal behaviour? | 21:50 |

| appamajig | itsjar: yep, it should be in there | 21:58 |
| shawnboy | maco: so from that perspective, it may not be wise to continue using out of support Ubuntu. | 21:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | shawnboy, what maco is saying is that 8.04 is currently still supported, with updates. But once a version has become EOL you SHOULD NOT use it. | 21:59 |

| chrislabeard | KE1HA: When I'm inside my network if I edit my hosts file to point at the server It all works just fine so I'm not sure | 22:00 |
| shawnboy | maco, ZykoticK9, if I had it already setup on a machine for long time, I probably wouldn't worry about it, but if I were thinking about INSTALLING 8.04 with only a few months left before EOL, then sounds like I shouldn't. | 22:00 |
| chrislabeard | KE1HA: ahh I need to open that port | 22:00 |
| maco | shawnboy: right | 22:00 |
| shawnboy | gotcha | 22:01 |
| KE1HA | :-) that would help yes :-) | 22:01 |
| kosaidopo_ | maco: yeh tnx dude : ) saw it | 22:01 |
| appamajig | itsjar: yeah, that's the one | 22:01 |
| itsjar | cool, rebooting :) | 22:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | shawnboy, why bother with 8.04? why not use a newer version? even with older hardware newer versions of ubuntu should work fine, or check out xubuntu for a slightly "lighter" system. | 22:01 |
| chrislabeard | KE1HA: Cause if its working internally with using the hosts file, than it should work publicly as long as all the ports are correct. | 22:01 |

| shawnboy | ZykoticK9, good point. I downloaded Lubuntu the other day to try on this old system and it is great so far. Heck, I guess I could even put Lucid server minimal on it and manually install LXDE if I wanted. | 22:07 |

| KenShin133 | Hey all, I installed ubuntu 10.04 a while ago and had a good few problems im not willing to deal with at the moment, So im on 9.10 Which is fine, But im curious asto if i can get the software center and gnome-terminal that they had on 10.04? Is there a ppa or package for those or are they heavily dependant on the way 10.04 was built? | 22:09 |
| itsjar | appamajig: well.. not yet | 22:09 |
| itsjar | think he is still a bit confused because I tried envy, fglrx before | 22:09 |
| itsjar | trying to get eveyrthing uninstalled now | 22:09 |
| itsjar | and then I'll retry with nouveau | 22:10 |
| joofl | Alright. Nevermind, then :) I'll just plod on with wine | 22:10 |
| itsjar | I've been working on it for 5 horus now too.. But this install used to be running on nvidia, makes it more evil I guess | 22:10 |
| itsjar | the result so far is (EE) no devices detected | 22:11 |
| appamajig | itsjar here's the best link that I could find when I was doing this... it explains every step and nuance to getting this to work: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver | 22:11 |
| calmdude | does anybody knows how can i imporve my "nouveau video performance"? | 22:11 |
| Dereckson | Hi, if I launch gnome-terminal and hide the menu bar (menu view > uncheck show menubar), how can I restore this bar later? | 22:11 |
| appamajig | itsjar: it doesn't cover anything nvidia of course, but I think you got that already taken care of :) | 22:11 |
| appamajig | calmdude: there's some info on that near the end of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver | 22:12 |

| erUSUL | np | 22:12 |
| KE1HA | chrislabeard, yes, unfortunbately, as there's are Hundreds, if not thousands of DNS servers around the world. | 22:13 |
| appamajig | itsjar holy crap, I got confused lol nouveau is nvidia... sorry man | 22:13 |
| rapture | in lucid services don't seem to start at boot like they should - for example mysql and mythbackend. Ideas? | 22:13 |
| chrislabeard | KE1HA: Alright I will wait a little longer before freaking out | 22:13 |
| appamajig | itsjar but that link does tell you how to get the best ati setup... *shame* | 22:13 |

| TeslaTony | Is it possible to create a bootable USB flash drive with multiple OS options? | 22:14 |
| calmdude | u mean dualboot as win/ubuntu tesla? | 22:14 |
| === Guest30055 is now known as BLW | ||
| xtony10 | ciao | 22:14 |
| KenShin133 | TeslaTony Look at unetbootin.. That might be what you need | 22:14 |
| KE1HA | TeslaTony, sure, treat the drive as if it's an internal hard drive. | 22:14 |
| KE1HA | although, it would need an MBR / Bootload installed on it as well. | 22:15 |
| calmdude | well, i installed windows/ubuntu dualboot in my usb thumb drive "as hard disk" and it was slow... really really slow... | 22:15 |
| appamajig | calmdude: I'm using an nvidia 8800 gt and performance is great with my setup (newest nvidia drivers from the site... 256.35 I think?) what's your setup and where do you see performance degredation? | 22:15 |
| Tw|sT | yeah, that would work. it'd be no different than installing to a usb harddrive (which I use daily) | 22:15 |
| calmdude | appamajig, i need vdpau support! :-D | 22:16 |
| KE1HA | calmdude, of cource its slow, your working at USB speed, take that same drive and put it in a PCIE-SSD setup, and its insanely fast. | 22:16 |
| fling | i need help installing tremulous where i want it to be installed.. | 22:16 |
| calmdude | i installed 256.35 too, with playing dirty | 22:16 |
| itsjar | hmm.. if i'm in console mode (fixing grahpics card) and I can't even press Q in vim (I can press ':' but not 'q') .. It also didn't revert to qwerty in stead of azerty, any ideas to get out of vim? | 22:16 |
| calmdude | ke1ha, im not complainin, i answered teslatony lol | 22:16 |
| appamajig | calmdude: what video card do you have? what cpu? | 22:16 |
| TeslaTony | The only downside to treating it as an internal drive is I'd have to boot into a livecd environment, and I lack a second flash drive, or an optical drive. unetbootin sounds interesting, though. Thanks, folks | 22:17 |
| KE1HA | :-) no worries, speed is what it is all about, and USB justn't the way to go to get it :-) | 22:17 |
| joofl | Wtf i just tried to download new nvidia drivers from the nvidia website and i think it's trying to execute the .run within google chrome :S | 22:17 |

| appamajig | itsjar: I'm sorry about that man, lol I have my system that I'm on, with nvidia and another with ati, and I got confused | 22:18 |
| sanguisdex | is there a way to change where ubuntu looks for the mounted install CD is? | 22:18 |
| KE1HA | TeslaTony, if your only drive ( meaning no internal drive ) conntected to the machine, then its not a problem. | 22:18 |
| joofl | I click download file, and it opens up a new tab and spams loads of echo commands | 22:18 |
| calmdude | well, gt220... i noticed installing current (must be 195 smthin) from "hardware drivers" way is crashed my system after reboot... so i improvised some tutorials like x-swat ppa... they failed too, whatever i make 256.35 worked | 22:18 |
| appamajig | itsjar: know this: do NOT use the fglrx drivers, those are crap :) the link I sent you has everything you need | 22:18 |
| fling | how do i run a *.run file? | 22:18 |
| itsjar | ohh | 22:18 |
| calmdude | but it was unstable and ugly (u know the low res bootloader problem etc) | 22:18 |
| itsjar | didnt read it yet :) | 22:18 |
| itsjar | so nouveau is not good.. that's why I didn't hear of that yet | 22:19 |

| itsjar | thanks for the link anyway mn!! :) | 22:19 |
| appamajig | fling: sh myrunfile.run | 22:19 |
| KE1HA | TeslaTony, allot of people go down the road of Dualboot, USB Boot, Flashdrive Boot, when all they need to do is install a Virtual Solution, of couse you need at least two cores, and a bit of Ram, but its far less hassle fer sure. | 22:19 |
| calmdude | nouveau sucks (for now, no vdpau yet) :-/ | 22:19 |

| hornets | just using the passw | 22:23 |
| hornets | I can't log automatically | 22:23 |

| hornets | I'm afraid that gnome-keyring is bugged | 22:24 |
| _sjm_ | hornets: it's usually permission problems on the server. Look at the server logs (/var/log/messages). | 22:24 |

| appamajig | joofl: reboot your computer and choose the recovery boot option (just below the one you usually choose) and then choose the root console with network when you get to the blue screen (It won't say that exactly... but It'll mean that) then you probably need to change to the directory with the driver, and then sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux.....run | 22:26 |

| KE1HA | If yu make the change recursive -R it trolls through the dir-tree for the command executed. | 22:35 |
| * theoctagon gets tired | 22:35 | |
| _sjm_ | hornets: they can change the directory (they have write access to the home directory), but not things within the .ssh, but to the .ssh directory itself. | 22:36 |
| hornets | _sjm_: like, they can wipeout the .ssh dir? | 22:36 |
| _sjm_ | hornets: I haven't tried it, but I think so and replace it with their own. | 22:37 |
| niks1608 | my hp-psc-1350 will not print on my network, through samba, file is send but does not print | 22:37 |
| KE1HA | hornets, here's an example: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-apply-conditional-recursive-chmod-file-permissions/ | 22:37 |
| theoctagon | cyberciti.biz again :) | 22:37 |

| theoctagon | good page - stumple upon it regularly | 22:38 |
| theoctagon | much more content than my linux blog has - but I intend to grow :) | 22:38 |
| hornets | _sjm_: still, that thing should be worked better on ssh | 22:39 |
| KE1HA | nix-craft, that's a good site fer info, allot of UB stuff there. | 22:39 |
| theoctagon | KE1HA: word! | 22:39 |
| hornets | If the group owner have only one user, as Primary. it should work | 22:39 |
| hornets | like in my example hornets:hornets | 22:39 |
| _sjm_ | hornets: the information is there to solve the problem, you just didn't have access to it. It's in the /var/log/messages file. | 22:39 |
| hornets | _sjm_: I just talked to an admin | 22:39 |
| hornets | he pasted to me lol | 22:39 |
| theoctagon | I intend to blog stuff that is far from basics - nevertheless I blog them too from time to time | 22:40 |

| netech | awesome. connecting to localhost:5900 did the trick. | 22:41 |
| theoctagon | netech: just do it right - and it works :P | 22:42 |
| KE1HA | Yeah, know that one. Certificate is Out of Date Though :-) | 22:42 |
| netech | I thought vnc would just try 5900 automagically | 22:42 |
| theoctagon | netech: that's what ssh tunnels are for | 22:42 |
| KE1HA | ditto whart he said, VNC is a resource hog. | 22:42 |
| netech | I'm tunnelling vnc through a firewall using ssh | 22:43 |
| itsjar | thanks erUSUL, I wanted to know if I'm using the ATI drivers, however I see "ati", "vesa", as well as "fbdev" appearing in that, how do I know i'm using the right drivers? | 22:43 |
| netech | (for an artist friend) | 22:43 |
| KE1HA | netech, good luck, takes a big pipe to make it responsive. | 22:43 |
| theoctagon | netech: the firewall guys won't like it - but who cares :) | 22:43 |
| theoctagon | netech: the tool teamviewer might be a better option ;) | 22:44 |
| erUSUL | itsjar: read the full log ? i suspect you ended up using ati | 22:44 |

| theoctagon | rapture: is it activate in the desired runlevel? | 22:45 |
| KE1HA | your better off with just SSH if you can comand-line the work you need to do. but as said, Adminds dont like SSH tunnels, to many possible holes on the other end. | 22:45 |
| netech | theoctagon: I'll check it out. Thanks. | 22:45 |
| netech | sjm, thanks as well | 22:45 |
| zongo_ | Hi Guys, I stumble upon a software once that allowed to have multiple windows in my terminal. I cannot remember the name of that software | 22:46 |
| erUSUL | zongo_: terminator ? | 22:46 |
| sjm | zongo_, screen? | 22:46 |
| theoctagon | zongo_: terminator | 22:46 |
| erUSUL | !info terminator | 22:46 |
| ubottu | terminator (source: terminator): multiple GNOME terminals in one window. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.93-0ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 185 kB, installed size 1668 kB | 22:46 |
| rapture | theoctagon, I've no idea. I installed it via apt-get. Is there something else I'm supposed to do? | 22:46 |
| zongo_ | yes that is correct thanks all | 22:46 |
| theoctagon | rapture: no nothing else to do | 22:47 |
| KE1HA | rapture, try this: sudo update-rc.d mysql defaults | 22:47 |
| rapture | "update-rc.d: warning: /etc/init.d/mysql missing LSB information" | 22:47 |
| binni | What's the difference between Ubuntu Minimal CD Image - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD - and UNetbotin Distribution: Ubuntu 10.04_NetInstall and UNetbotin Distribution: Xubuntu 10.04_NetInstall? And if there is a difference, were on the web can I access the later two. | 22:47 |
| rapture | oh and "System start/stop links for /etc/init.d/mysql already exist." | 22:48 |
| rapture | KE1HA, theoctagon, the same appears to be true of Mythbackend | 22:48 |
| rapture | I think Apache is doing it too | 22:48 |
| joofl | I am le back | 22:49 |
| itsjar | nope, I think i'm using vesa | 22:49 |
| KE1HA | then the same would apply: sudo update-rc.d Mythbackend defaults | 22:49 |
| fling | how do i become root? | 22:49 |
| joofl | Unix is such a grammar nazi | 22:49 |
| dancrew32 | how do I clean up the hidden .stuff folders in home/me/ ? | 22:49 |
| itsjar | as far as I understand those logs | 22:49 |
| theoctagon | fling: sudo -s | 22:49 |
| dancrew32 | if an app was uninstalled | 22:50 |
| erUSUL | !root | fling | 22:50 |
| ubottu | fling: 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 | 22:50 |
| KE1HA | itsjar, ls -al then rm -rf ./*you want to delete. | 22:50 |
| erUSUL | dancrew32: depends on the app. | 22:50 |
| dancrew32 | erUSUL, is there some sort of aptitude cleanup? | 22:50 |
| KE1HA | becarefull though ... somethings are better left "Undeleted" :-) | 22:50 |
| theoctagon | dancrew32: sudo aptitude autoclean | 22:51 |
| erUSUL | dancrew32: package managers never mess with home folders | 22:51 |
| rapture | KE1HA, "update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/mythbackend: file does not exist", uh, please advise? | 22:51 |
| dancrew32 | ah okay.. thanks all | 22:51 |
| sharperguy | Anybody know if there a command line option for wine that lets you enable the desktop window in that instance only? | 22:51 |
| KE1HA | then its not in your start up dir, and you need a control script for it. | 22:51 |
| fgrt | anyone else having difficulties with the alternate install disc for 10.04 amd64? | 22:52 |
| rapture | KE1HA, sorry, but I'm not really sure what a control script is or where I would acquire one | 22:52 |
| KE1HA | but are you sure Mythbackend is a Server, and not just an application that is executed and uses MySQL for it's DB ? | 22:53 |
| fling | ubuntu won't let me install the tremulous gpp | 22:53 |
| KE1HA | Lert me look up that Applicaiton. | 22:53 |
| rapture | KE1HA, as I recall it's supposed to be a service that runs on boot/login | 22:53 |
| fgrt | don't mean to be impatient, but did anyone read my earlier message? | 22:54 |
| etalyc | sharperguy: use a wine prefix for the app you want windowed. | 22:54 |
| sharperguy | etalyc, googling wineprefix | 22:54 |
| rapture | fgrt, I didn't, but then again I'm kinda busy trying to fix the myriad of issues involved with a mythtv setup | 22:54 |
| appamajig | fgrt: what issues? | 22:55 |
| fgrt | trying to install from the alt cd for lucid amd 64 | 22:55 |

| master | anybody about xamp | 22:56 |
| erUSUL | !lamp | master we do not support xaamp here use | 22:56 |
| ubottu | master we do not support xaamp here use: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 22:56 |

| cylence | I just tried to install sqlite3 using apt-get but got an old version. I'm not overly familiar with using apt-get, I normally install from source. what might the cause of this be? | 23:07 |
| theoctagon | vbox running on maverick with btrfs | 23:07 |
| theoctagon | I am out for today - good night | 23:07 |
| cylence | it requests v3.6 and I'm getting v3.4. That's a pretty significant jump! | 23:07 |
| slidinghorn | cylence, it's the version that was in the repos...if you need a newer version, you may have to download & compile from the developer's site | 23:07 |
| KE1HA | radar3d|DT, Have a look at this: http://www.jaxmag.com/itr/news/psecom,id,35104,nodeid,146.html | 23:07 |
| cylence | hmm | 23:07 |
| osmario | Hi everybody. Is it easy set up a webcam on ubuntu 10.04? | 23:07 |
| cylence | slidinghorn: are you referring to an actual apt-get package on the dev's site or from soruce? | 23:08 |
| cylence | source even | 23:08 |
| radar3d|DT | I just went through this the other day but lost the one line command I needed is all | 23:08 |
| erUSUL | !info sqlite3 | 23:08 |
| ubottu | sqlite3 (source: sqlite3): A command line interface for SQLite 3. In component main, is optional. Version 3.6.22-1 (lucid), package size 25 kB, installed size 112 kB | 23:08 |
| erUSUL | cylence: ^ | 23:08 |
| Oer | cylene, i see 3.6.22 | 23:08 |
| erUSUL | that's the version in lucid | 23:08 |
| slidinghorn | cylence, probably the source itself...some might have a .deb package to install, but I wouldn't consider it likely | 23:08 |
| cylence | Oer: why might I be seeing differnt packages? | 23:09 |
| cylence | erUSUL: ? | 23:09 |
| KE1HA | radar3d|DT, well this should work for Java6-JRE Non-Dev: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin | 23:09 |
| cylence | ahh | 23:09 |
| cylence | erUSUL: sorry, missed the bot output. thanks! | 23:09 |
| slidinghorn | cylence, are you running 10.04? might be on the old karmic repos? that's all I can think of | 23:09 |
| erUSUL | cylence: 3.6.22-1 is the version apt-get will install in lucid ( 10.04 ) | 23:09 |
| radar3d|DT | thanks all | 23:09 |
| cylence | slidinghorn: quite possible | 23:09 |

| slidinghorn | there's your answer cylence ^^ | 23:11 |
| radar3d|DT | KE1HA, thanks | 23:11 |
| erUSUL | cylence: not surprising; two years old release | 23:11 |
| Oer | solution : distro-upgrade | 23:11 |
| cylence | erUSUL: gotcha, is there a way to update my source list or is this simply going to require a full OS upgrade? | 23:12 |
| slidinghorn | cylence, you may have to upgrade your distro to use the newer versions -- either that or try installing from source, but there can be no guarantees that newer versions will work with 8.04 | 23:12 |
| KE1HA | Oer, :-) Ditto | 23:12 |
| erUSUL | !backports | cylence | 23:12 |
| ubottu | cylence: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 23:12 |

| kdog_ | hi | 23:12 |

| erUSUL | cylence: but i doubt there is a backport for that | 23:12 |

| cylence | at least I know now. :) | 23:13 |
| cylence | sincerely, thanks again | 23:13 |

| rapture | I'm still no closer to figuring out why mysql refuses to start at boot but starts just fine if started manually | 23:16 |
| KE1HA | 8.04 --> 10.04: Never seen a distro UPG go without a hitch. If 10.04 is the goal, better off doing a fresh install. | 23:16 |
| KE1HA | rapture, is the backend workign now ? | 23:16 |
| maco | KE1HA: i have. it depends how much 3rd party stuff you install though | 23:16 |
| rapture | the backend won't start if Mysql isn't started | 23:17 |
| rapture | once mysql is running, I can start it | 23:17 |

| === sasa_ is now known as HTC | ||
| KE1HA | No, not really, but in the commandline, there's more chance fer Error. Go to the package manager, and Un-Install MySQL and your Frontend + Backend, then let me know when that's done. | 23:27 |
| rapture | no, wait, I recall I already tried that | 23:28 |
| KE1HA | jalal_, sudo apt-get install gcc-3.4 or go to the package manager and install. | 23:28 |
| rapture | I reinstalled mysql in synaptic (well, uninstalled, then reinstalled) | 23:28 |
| KE1HA | ok, and did you run the update-rc.d again after installing the second time? | 23:29 |
| UkeKun | I don't see gcc-3.4, earliest version i can see is 4.1 | 23:30 |

| KE1HA | Once it's started and the users added, do your update-rc.d again, as sudo | 23:31 |
| KE1HA | The process is the same. | 23:31 |

| KE1HA | Ok, geeze thought crowd today :-) Here's the revert: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=110865 | 23:32 |
| davvo | hardware related | 23:32 |
| mikeru | davvo: which macbook? | 23:33 |
| mnaines | What is the program that will take all your custom themes, settings, files, and everything else and make it into an ISO so if you have to reinstall or move to another machine you won't lose your data? | 23:33 |
| BromaxSux | okay good | 23:33 |
| davvo | white macbook, Core 2 | 23:33 |
| Fernandos | :( I'm so frustrated, because I've been trying to make it work since last week! | 23:33 |
| Fernandos | no success | 23:33 |
| mikeru | davvo: which model, I must ask | 23:33 |
| mikeru | davvo: wait | 23:33 |
| davvo | wait there ill have a look | 23:34 |
| mikeru | davvo: sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name | 23:34 |
| davvo | its currently water damaged i cannot access OSX | 23:34 |
| davvo | as far as i know its a Apple MC240B/A MacBook / Core 2 Duo | 23:34 |
| mikeru | davvo: Water damaged!!? | 23:35 |
| mikeru | oh dear | 23:35 |
| KE1HA | UkeKun, a compiler is a compiler, it doent' really care what Distro it is as long as the tool-shain is there to support it. | 23:35 |
| mikeru | davvo: but that command is for ubuntu | 23:35 |
| davvo | i just need to know... | 23:35 |
| davvo | how can i boot ubuntu or any other linux distro so that it wont respond to the lid sensor | 23:35 |
| davvo | cause i think that is what i have fried | 23:36 |
| mikeru | davvo: ah, you can't even turn it on? | 23:36 |
| mnaines | KE1HA, so UkeKun can take all your settings, custom themes, files, and all that and compile it into an ISO so you can reinstall or move to another machine without losing data? | 23:36 |
| Fernandos | hope somebuddy can help me on this | 23:36 |
| ericthehax | Where's the soundfont Ubuntu uses and what format is it? | 23:36 |
| davvo | yeah it will turn on, but it standbys as soon as OSX (10.6) is loaded | 23:36 |
| Fernandos | I've seen no solution to this problem anywhere. and I have 10.04 | 23:36 |
| davvo | or even OSX setup | 23:36 |
| k0sh | how to list aviable interfaces form script level? like list sort of "ppp0 eth0 eth1 lo" ? | 23:36 |
| davvo | i need a linux distro, or some booting options that will load linux with the sensors disabled - if possible | 23:37 |
| davvo | just so i can access my HD and get my uni work | 23:37 |
| KE1HA | mnaines, pass, dont know aboiut that one. | 23:37 |
| k0sh | how to list all available network interfaces form script level? like list sort of "ppp0 eth0 eth1 lo" ? | 23:37 |
| UkeKun | davvo if you have another pc with sata you can just put the hdd straight into there | 23:37 |
| rapture | ugh, I'm done trying to fix this tonight. I keep getting sent in circles. I shall renew my efforts tomorrow. | 23:37 |
| UkeKun | and then use transmac | 23:38 |
| UkeKun | if its windows | 23:38 |
| mikeru | davvp: well, you just pop the CD in and should work | 23:38 |
| davvo | yeah windows or linux :) | 23:38 |
| davvo | ok looks like my last option | 23:38 |
| KE1HA | mnaines, I suppose you could put them all into a folder and compile it that way, sure, or find a backup app and select what you want to back up. | 23:38 |
| davvo | yeah thats great thanks guys, appreciated | 23:38 |
| davvo | :) | 23:38 |
| mikeru | davvo: why is it you can not start a live cd | 23:39 |
| mikeru | ? | 23:39 |
| UkeKun | anyone here happen to have a working arm-xscale toolchain installed, only need it to compile redboot to fix my bricked router and i've had no luck for the past 5 hours trying to compile one | 23:39 |
| davvo | as soon as linux boots, i get a black screen and the system stalls - debian, ubuntu and knoppix ive tried | 23:39 |
| mikeru | davvo: HUH | 23:39 |
| KE1HA | well lmsensors isnt the best on the block to begin with, so no worries botu disabling sensor detection :-) | 23:39 |
| mikeru | davvo: hey.... WAIT | 23:39 |
| UkeKun | davvo you might want to dry disabling acpi if its the lid sensor | 23:40 |
| davvo | right... | 23:40 |
| davvo | :) | 23:40 |
| davvo | boot options? | 23:40 |
| mikeru | davvo: acpi=off | 23:40 |
| mikeru | that fixed mine | 23:40 |
| davvo | fantastic :) | 23:41 |
| mikeru | it seems it's the same as mine, but I can't read the MC#### string any more | 23:41 |
| davvo | i mean if that doesnt work i dont mind taking the HD out (again) as my warranties void anyway!! | 23:41 |
| UkeKun | i thought the macbooks had relatively user-replaceable hdds | 23:41 |
| UkeKun | i guess not | 23:41 |
| UkeKun | anything's better than how the ibook was though i guess | 23:42 |
| mikeru | UkeKun: depends on model | 23:42 |
| === lulz is now known as Guest39800 | ||
| davvo | its more money im worried about atm | 23:42 |
| davvo | i dont mind fiddling with windows - linux PCs | 23:42 |
| mikeru | davvo: have you tried acpi=off yet? | 23:42 |
| KE1HA | davvo, just FYI, there is a bug regarding the Black Screen On Boot issue. | 23:42 |
| mikeru | KE1HA: indeed | 23:42 |
| mikeru | your options are: | 23:43 |
| mikeru | disable ACPI (acpi=off) | 23:43 |
| mikeru | disable second core (nosmp) | 23:43 |
| KE1HA | or at least for Ubuntu | 23:43 |
| mikeru | KE1HA: it's on the kernel bug tracker | 23:43 |
| mikeru | or | 23:43 |
| mikeru | what I did | 23:43 |
| UkeKun | asking again, anyone with an arm-xscale toolchain i'm desperately in need of one thing compiling to fix a bricked router so pm if you can help | 23:43 |
| mikeru | since I didn't want those off | 23:43 |
| m_ | hello | 23:43 |
| davvo | right :) ok, im looking for my power chord! :D | 23:44 |
| davvo | haha | 23:44 |
| mikeru | get grub-efi-amd64 and do a very long procedure, since that blank screen problem is not present when booting from EFI | 23:44 |
| mikeru | now | 23:44 |
| mikeru | you probably don't want to do the last one | 23:44 |
| KE1HA | UkeKun, I found somethign on 9.04 Gnuarm: http://blog.nutaksas.com/2009/05/installing-gnuarm-arm-toolchain-on.html | 23:44 |
| davvo | yeah | 23:44 |
| mikeru | davvo: it's just for recovery, right? | 23:45 |
| mikeru | just do acpi=off | 23:45 |
| davvo | i mean its werid, because OSX load and then sleeps straight away - hardware wise are there any other reasons why that would happen | 23:45 |
| KE1HA | I've not used it, so dont know fer sure if that will work for you. | 23:45 |
| davvo | yeah its just for recovery | 23:45 |
| UkeKun | KE1HA i think that's the wrong endianness for the xscale | 23:45 |
| mikeru | have you tried Apple+S when the Apple logo shows up? | 23:45 |
| KE1HA | rr, Im not an ARM expert fer sure. | 23:45 |
| mikeru | it will start OS X in Verbose mode | 23:45 |
| davvo | right, no i havnt i tried hardware test and setup | 23:45 |
| Fernandos | nobuddyy? | 23:46 |
| davvo | aka D on start up | 23:46 |
| mikeru | I might be of help if you tell me the last thing you see | 23:46 |
| mikeru | davvo: it's not actually a hardware test | 23:46 |
| davvo | isnt it? | 23:46 |
| KE1HA | UkeKun, here's one fer an xscal cros-compiler: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-programming-scripting/145733-building-xscale-cross-compiler-problems.html | 23:46 |
| davvo | memory checker? | 23:46 |
| mikeru | davvo: it's like booting ubuntu without plymouth | 23:46 |
| mikeru | davvo: it just means, instead of seeing the spinning "Intermediate Progress Bar" wheel and the grey apple | 23:47 |
| davvo | i mean, if i can boot OSX at the most minimal level..... | 23:47 |
| mikeru | davvo: you'll see a white-on-black text console with the kernel's wise sayings | 23:47 |
| davvo | same with ubuntu | 23:47 |
| KE1HA | Maybe those guys have some insite for you UkeKun | 23:47 |
| mikeru | davvo: but will boot straight to OSX | 23:47 |
| UkeKun | KE1HA I saw that when I was looking earlier, it doesn't give any useful information he just ends up saying he couldn't successfully compile glibc | 23:47 |
| radar3d|DT | I have a new install of ubuntu amd64 on my HP AMD athlon quad core computer and when I boot it up and it goes to the login screen the computer locks up any ideas? | 23:48 |
| KE1HA | rrr .. you may be stuck in google madness fer a while on this one. | 23:48 |
| davvo | right ok, im gonna have to try this later i think ive left my power adapter at my girlfriends AND just because life is fantastic my batterys now dry | 23:48 |
| UkeKun | davvo if you can get OSX with no video output then you can use SFTP to get your files off | 23:48 |
| davvo | right yeah that sounds good | 23:48 |
| radar3d|DT | googling my problem says it is n nvidia driver issue? | 23:48 |
| mikeru | UkeKun: he's saying that it goes to sleep | 23:49 |
| davvo | it standbys | 23:49 |
| the_e | hey guys, I'm having a problem with xpad | 23:49 |
| UkeKun | mikeru do macbooks have wake on lan at all :P | 23:49 |
| the_e | I have it installed, but it isn't letting my 360 controller work? | 23:49 |
| mikeru | davvo: if the power LED is fading, then it is indeed in sleep-standby | 23:49 |
| rewati | hi i need to uninstall these gostwares but i am getting error . I am not able to install and uninstall any app on my system these are the errors : http://pastebin.com/R0XkbY2A | 23:49 |
| davvo | yep | 23:49 |
| mikeru | UkeKun: they do, but it's disabled by default | 23:49 |
| mikeru | davvo: in that case, SFTP will do no good. | 23:49 |
| davvo | OSX stays on (log in screen) for about 2 - 10 seconds | 23:50 |
| davvo | then sleeps | 23:50 |
| mikeru | davvo: AH- | 23:50 |
| davvo | as i say - water damaged | 23:50 |
| mikeru | I think | 23:50 |
| mikeru | maybe | 23:50 |
| mikeru | and then - just maybe | 23:50 |
| mikeru | whatever checks if the lid is closed was water damaged | 23:50 |
| whiteknight | I have a lexmark x5400 series, any idea where I can get a driver that will do more than spit paper at me? | 23:50 |
| mikeru | and so os x goes to sleep | 23:50 |
| davvo | yep! | 23:50 |
| davvo | what im hoping is - i can try all these things out just so i can access my hard drive at admin level so i can backup, delete card numbers, then send my lappy off to repair | 23:51 |
| mikeru | davvo: hmm | 23:51 |
| mikeru | lemme think | 23:51 |
| davvo | i have been offered to borrow a macbook from someone but that wont be for a while | 23:52 |
| davvo | the quicker i get this off to repair the better :) | 23:52 |
| UkeKun | KE1HA I would try getting an old version of ubuntu and compile the toolchain there but the only internet on my desktop is an N-wireless card that's only been supported properly (no random drops) in 10.04 | 23:52 |
| mikeru | davvo: sorry I'm not in OS X and I don't have the time to go there | 23:53 |
| mikeru | davvo: try backuping with ubuntu live cd | 23:53 |
| davvo | don't worry, apprciated | 23:53 |
| KE1HA | whiteknight, Lexmark is one of the most Un-Linux Friendly printers availble. I've not found too many sucess stories regarding drivers. HP on the other hand,, Supports Linux well. | 23:53 |
| davvo | ok, using acpi-off ? | 23:53 |
| davvo | = | 23:53 |
| mikeru | acpi=off | 23:53 |

| mikeru | okok | 23:54 |
| davvo | thank alot guys! | 23:54 |
| KE1HA | UkeKun, You could install a virtual Desktoip and load whatever version you needed there. | 23:54 |
| mikeru | whiteknight: listen to the words of wisdom from KE1HA. lexmark plain sucks | 23:54 |
| mikeru | davvo: did it work | 23:54 |
