| KE1HA | teamcoltra, I think that's the directory encyption app. I was having that issue too, I disabled it as it's really annoying. Im not sure of it's a bug or not, but seems to be, you should report the bug and your issue. | 00:00 |

| campee | i have a question about top and virtual memory. i run 'swapoff -a' as root to disable swap memory. i then launch firefox and open top. top reports that i have 0k total of swap, 0k in use, and 0k free. top reports that firefox is using 248m of VIRT and 85m of RES. according to the man page, VIRT = SWAP + RES. so where is that swap usage coming from? | 00:35 |

| the_e | I reloaded in synaptic though | 00:35 |

| mikeru | the_e: try again | 00:35 |

|---|
| jpbouza | mmm well, but I have no composite effects mikeru | 00:38 |
|---|
| cablop | they're not going to change the way aq wholw system and applications works just cause the swap is off, and maybe if you launched firefox before disabling the swap, the firefox need to see it as existing | 00:38 |

| mikeru | jpbouza: ah! but that's not jockey's problem | 00:38 |

| the_e | which is? | 00:42 |

| the_e | lol | 00:42 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | A-Non, are you running xfce? | 00:42 |
|---|
| letalis | Mikeru: I think it has more to do with the fact that it could cause instability in the package management system. | 00:42 |
|---|
| mikeru | the_e: º-º | 00:42 |

| k0sh | arrrghhh: umm but id like to hve them in readymade list | 00:42 |

|---|
| A-Non | aarghhh: I am not aware of what XFCE is, so I don't know | 00:42 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | k0sh, define readymade... because that's pretty readymade if you ask me. | 00:42 |
|---|
| mikeru | letalis: wat r u talking bout? | 00:42 |
|---|
| the_e | the problem with a lot of stuff with Linux is that RTFM doesn't work! | 00:43 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | A-Non, are you just running ubuntu from a regular downoad? did you download any special versions? | 00:43 |
|---|
| the_e | (also the internet's information is like 4 years old at this point) | 00:43 |
|---|
| letalis | I386 and amd64 together | 00:43 |
|---|
| k0sh | arrrghhh: like in string "10.1.0.1 10.0.3.1 10.3.4.1" | 00:43 |
|---|
| mikeru | the_e: OH MY. that is common sense! | 00:43 |
|---|
| Vespero | the_e: With linux it's RTFMP. | 00:43 |
|---|
| mikeru | after all, what do you do when you extract a file? | 00:43 |
|---|
| A-Non | arrrghhh: I installed using the netboot installer, which only installed command line, then I apt-get'd ubuntu-desktop to finish up | 00:43 |
|---|
| mikeru | look at its contents. | 00:43 |
|---|
| the_e | with Ubuntu it's RTFM from 8.10 | 00:43 |
|---|
| the_e | cause no one has any newer information on Google | 00:43 |
|---|
| jpbouza | mikeru, unluckily that's the same tutorial I followed... | 00:43 |
|---|
| mikeru | letalis: ah... still, it should just warn against it | 00:44 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | A-Non, huh. never done it that way. i also don't use compiz... what kind of video card? did you install the "restricted drivers" if they apply? | 00:44 |
|---|
| mikeru | not prevent you | 00:44 |
|---|
| mikeru | jpbouza: it worked fine with me | 00:44 |
|---|
| mikeru | jpbouza: unluckily you're just unlucky | 00:44 |

| A-Non | arrrghhh: The disks gave me errors and they wouldn't boot from USB so it was the only way ;) Nvidia FX 5500 card, restricted drivers are installed. | 00:44 |
|---|
| the_e | ok, another n00b question | 00:45 |
|---|
| the_e | ./install.sh means /user/install.sh right? | 00:45 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | A-Non, how are you enabling compiz? | 00:45 |

| datacrusher | hello everyone, my ubuntu notebook wont boot, i got a initramfs message, what can i do? | 00:55 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | mikeru, he's looking for global. so the correct answer is /etc/environment. but you are correct, evidently .bashrc is a bad place to put environment variables. | 00:55 |
|---|
| the_e | the readme wouldnt tell you that | 00:55 |
|---|
| the_e | but I figured it out... | 00:55 |
|---|
| mikeru | cablop: read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables | 00:55 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | mikeru, the readme said /etc/profile is NOT recommended. | 00:55 |
|---|
| nm5tf | KE1HA: yes according to the info..of course my Olympys MAUSB-10 was also supposed to be supported by ALAUDA, but it has never worked with*NIX, but works great under Windoze | 00:55 |
|---|
| cablop | thanls mikeru!! | 00:55 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | jeebus. | 00:55 |
|---|
| mikeru | arrrghhh: ah! you're completely right! I forgot about it, so I suggested profile since e | 00:55 |
|---|
| mikeru | I couldn't remember the path to it | 00:55 |
|---|
| datacrusher | i got the following message - BusyBoy v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu11) built-in shell (ash) | 00:55 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | mikeru, hopefully he reads the doc :D | 00:55 |
|---|
| thune3 | getpwnam: i would suggest skipping the the sed&awk step. perl can do everyting sed&awk can do. | 00:56 |
|---|
| Gnea | mikeru: I was just curious what ubuntu doc says that ~/.pam_environment should be used in place of ~/.bashrc | 00:56 |

| xdpirate_ | How can the usb-creator tool let me use the whole disk for persistent storage? It'll only let me use up to 4 GB yet the usb drive i'm using is 40 gb.. the whole point is to use this to breathe new life to a computer with a botched hdd by running a persistent linux install from an usb drive | 00:57 |
|---|
| mikeru | now cablop, if you plan on using pam_environment (I think /etc/environment follows same syntax), it's not JAVA_HOME="path", it's JAVA_HOME DEFAULT="path" | 00:57 |
|---|
| cablop | well mikeru, it's on /etc/environment, the system bashrc and the profile one are not recommended | 00:57 |
|---|
| mikeru | weird it is | 00:57 |
|---|
| mikeru | cablop: indeed it's there | 00:57 |

| mikeru | ignore that. it's just BLAH=BLAH | 00:58 |
|---|
| Masamune | KE1HA, that requires booting from livecd which I can't do. | 00:58 |
|---|
| horkhorkhork | how do i fix this - http://pastebin.com/h418ZF8j | 00:58 |

| mikeru | pam is BLAH DEFAULT=BLAH and some OVERRIDE= weirdness I dunno how that works but it's not needed | 00:58 |

| thune3 | xdpirate_: you can access the underlying usb filesystem through /cdrom to bypass the persistencefile. you could make a directory in cdrom with permissions for your user and put the big file there. | 00:59 |
|---|
| mikeru | horkhorkhork: well, that does not help at all. what was above that? | 00:59 |

| Masamune | KE1HA, not sure if i can boot from usb, I will have to try that at some point, would I be able to do anything over network? I have an option for something like that | 01:00 |
|---|
| mikeru | horkhorkhork: ah. then there's sumthin messed up with dpkg. make sure you're not using one of those lovely tdpkg that use databases, it screwed my update and i don't know why it also screwed anything related to firefox that was updated or installed. damn firefox's debs! | 01:01 |

| crypt-0 | KE1HA, sorry *I* am using grub2. | 01:01 |

| crypt-0 | that lin is for grub1 | 01:01 |

| mikeru | cablop: did you use environment? | 01:02 |
|---|
| horkhorkhork | all i did was "apt-get install firefox" | 01:02 |
|---|
| mikeru | then logout or reboot | 01:02 |

| crypt-0 | appamajig, what are you using the for? | 01:02 |
|---|
| horkhorkhork | ok | 01:02 |
|---|
| KE1HA | crypt-0, Ahh, good point, TNX, need a Grub2 Link also. | 01:02 |
|---|
| horkhorkhork | i shall do that later, thanks | 01:03 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | appamajig, depends on the application of your rig. a production server, i'd say ext3. home use, ext4 is fine. ext3 is more stable, ext4 is faster in several different ways. | 01:03 |
|---|
| mikeru | horkhorkhork: sorry I can't help you there. that's what happened in my case, and it was a rather weird one | 01:03 |

| appamajig | crypt-0: hmm... general programming, media server and normal, personal comp | 01:03 |
|---|
| mikeru | ext4? FASTER?! | 01:03 |
|---|
| cablop | mikeru i'm going for environment, but... i think i'll need to find the correct java i need... there's the openjdk, but... | 01:03 |
|---|
| appamajig | arrrghhh: k thanks | 01:03 |
|---|
| cablop | but i think it's not as complete as the sun java is... and cause i need to run a sort of tomcat... then... | 01:03 |
|---|
| crypt-0 | ext4 is getting stable enough for production | 01:03 |
|---|
| mikeru | arrrghhh: ext4 was so unbearably slow that I choose instead ext3 for my macbook. specially with dpkg | 01:04 |
|---|
| appamajig | I read about it in some forums and whatnot, but I thought I'd just ask in here and see what the general consensus was... :) | 01:04 |
|---|
| === Andre_Gondim-afk is now known as Andre_Gondim |
| cablop | ext4 is faster but not by itself | 01:04 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | mikeru, don't care 'bout your macbook. ext4 is blazing fast on my server. | 01:04 |
|---|
| the_e | sorry for the complaining before dudes | 01:04 |
|---|
| mikeru | cablop: I highly recommend sun's java even if not open src. | 01:04 |

| arrrghhh | i've just seen people run into bugs with ext4 and nfs. | 01:04 |
|---|
| the_e | I'm a XBMC guru at this point, so if anyone needs help | 01:04 |
|---|
| mikeru | arrrghhh: don't care about your server, cause my server is slowwwww with ext4 | 01:04 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | which, i run nfs... but haven't run into issues haha. | 01:04 |
|---|
| cablop | it's faster cause it buffer the writings to disk until the system is idle to write them | 01:04 |
|---|
| cablop | or something like that | 01:04 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | mikeru, who puts a server on a macbook? lol. | 01:04 |
|---|
| mikeru | do too, nfs + afp | 01:04 |
|---|
| appamajig | so ext4 and nfs have problems? | 01:04 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | appamajig, i saw a bug on the forums about it, but i run nfs with ext4 no prob. | 01:05 |
|---|
| cablop | the downside is sometimes ext4 writes to the disk that the file is in the disk, but the data is NOT in the disk | 01:05 |
|---|
| mikeru | arrrghhh: on my server. after learning from the mistake, I instead choose ext3 for my mb | 01:05 |
|---|
| appamajig | hmmm | 01:05 |
|---|
| cablop | that was fixed in the kernel.... but seems like a workaround, not a real fix | 01:05 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | mikeru, huh. dunno. | 01:05 |

| arrrghhh | works for me | 01:05 |

| johntron | what's the best way to do packet prioritization on ubuntu? i've used PF on freebsd, but can't find something similar for ubuntu. tc seems difficult | 01:05 |
|---|
| KE1HA | appamajig, all of them have problems, EXT3 is porbable the most widly used still, wiuth risersf being the most stable, and fastest, however olke boy that came up with is is in hot water. | 01:05 |
|---|
| jason_wt | hello, i asked a question here yesturday regarding using sudo from a non sudoer account by requesting the password of a sudoer account | 01:06 |
|---|
| cablop | anyway i was hearing oracle is going to release a file system that used b+ trees and will provide a tool to go from ext3 to btrfs and back | 01:06 |
|---|
| cablop | so i'll stick to ext3 until that day :P | 01:06 |
|---|
| KE1HA | crypt-0, so your Grub is still dumping you to the grup prompt ? | 01:06 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | appamajig, if you have any questions on stability, stick with ext3. | 01:06 |
|---|
| jason_wt | i have solved my problem most of the way, by using runas in te sudoers file, however i get one problem | 01:06 |
|---|
| mikeru | appamajig: mb = macbook | 01:06 |
|---|
| crypt-0 | KE1HA, Yes. | 01:06 |

|---|
| appamajig | ok, thanks everyone for the general info | 01:07 |
|---|
| magicianlord | should i install a gui or run headless? | 01:07 |
|---|
| cablop | anyway a mac is nowadays just an expensive version of a PC, wrapped up in cute plastic and aluminium and some colors (very few) | 01:07 |
|---|
| KE1HA | crypt-0, and you installed : grub-install /dev/sda [sda being your target partition] after the chroot ? | 01:08 |
|---|
| appamajig | I'm gonna go with ext4 for both (I do nightly backups, so if something terrible happens, I'll survive) | 01:08 |
|---|
| jason_wt | when i run a command in the terminal prefixed wih sudo, it asks for the password of the runas_default user that i specifed; however when i launch something like synaptic from the menu, it prompts for the current user password, not the one of runas user | 01:08 |
|---|
| mikeru | KE1HA: I wonder why reiserfs fell into despair. just bcos its creater killed his wife & is in jail doesn't mean the project should've been abandoned. after all, it's open source | 01:08 |

|---|
| arrrghhh | magicianlord, i run headless, but it's really dependent on what you're doing with the machine. are you going to be accessing it physically, or can you manage it remotely? how powerful is the hardware? are you concerned about overhead? | 01:08 |
|---|

| magicianlord | arrrghhh: i like it for simplicity. the hardware is powerful enough. dual core amd64, 2gb | 01:09 |
|---|
| KE1HA | Myth`, edit your bash prodile and add the one you want to it. | 01:09 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | magicianlord, then keep it headless. i have a powerful *enough* server for a gui, but i have no need for one. less packages to update :D | 01:10 |

|---|
| arrrghhh | bjegovic, basically what everyone has said. use windows to play games, unless the game specifically supports linux (which is improving) | 01:22 |
|---|
| ejv | bjegovic: or do a dual install... lol | 01:22 |

|---|
| webchat | so, the value is simply incorrect? | 01:27 |

|---|
| k0sh | Lantizia: i think pam defines it somwhere | 01:28 |
|---|
| psilo2 | SubCool: you'll have eth0 (probably LAN) and some vpn interface as well, even if both use the same physical NIC. | 01:28 |
|---|
| SubCool | works- ok. thanks. thats what i thought, but... alot of what i have learned with networking dosnt work the right way. | 01:28 |
|---|
| webchat | arrrghhh: 2.6ghz, so I guess it's reading hardware strings rather than actual clock speed | 01:28 |

| KE1HA | brianl, if you've already used the entier Hard-Disk, then you'll need to re-partition a portion of the drive to allow for the additional distro's | 01:38 |

| psilo2 | opera mini goes through opera proxy servers, no option to bypass them. That's when I decided Opera is evil. | 01:39 |
|---|
| psilo2 | I will never use it. | 01:39 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | chrome on linux is pretty sweet too :D | 01:39 |
|---|
| brianl | KE1HA: Okay, thanks. | 01:39 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | webchat: if it performs the job it is intended to do and better than other tested options, then why not use it? | 01:39 |
|---|
| webchat | actionparsnip: what does? | 01:39 |
|---|
| kow | chrome doesnt have perfect flash though | 01:39 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | psilo2, yea... but that's why the mobile browsing experience is so good. sad. | 01:39 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | kow, not chrome's problem... again, goes back to flash! | 01:40 |
|---|
| kow | im only using opera for youtube and flash things | 01:40 |
|---|
| kow | i know | 01:40 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | webchat: if the user sees opera as the ideal choice for their situation s/he should use it as it suits their needs | 01:40 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | opera works well for you with flash? huh. damn presto engine. | 01:40 |

| infomomo | Hey guys, is the search in nautilus still broken. i am having a lot of trouble searching for files using nautilus search | 01:40 |
|---|
| webchat | actionparsnip: of course, it was a tongue-in-cheek remark | 01:40 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | kow: opera is fine, the fact that it is devloped to run native on linux is a step in the right direction | 01:40 |
|---|
| kow | i use chromuim quite often, but i need to find out how to use userscripts | 01:40 |

|---|
| arrrghhh | Craig_Dem, evidently opera haha. | 01:41 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | KE1HA, agreed... did i say something racist? or browerist? | 01:41 |
|---|
| Craig_Dem | I use chrome for linux and on my mac. | 01:41 |
|---|
| KE1HA | and that's not a Linux Issue, it's a Browser issue. | 01:41 |

|---|
| KE1HA | arrrghhh, No, not at all, just no matter which one I've used in the past, Ive hit problems somwhere, so I pick the one I like best and live with the compromise. | 01:42 |
|---|
| lucenut | I went into sharing options on a folder on ubuntu. And it told me it had to install some windows pack... | 01:42 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | lucenut: have you shared folders? You can't share drives | 01:42 |
|---|
| Mr_Sonoma | lucenut, have samba installed? | 01:42 |
|---|
| rww | webchat: Feel free to ask #ubuntu-offtopic ;P | 01:42 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | KE1HA, i just end up using them all, sometimes in the same session. same goes for windoes. | 01:42 |
|---|
| lucenut | So I did that, then it let me check "Share this folder" | 01:43 |
|---|
| ZandreBran | Hi guys. please, I'm using pbbuilder, it compiles, but the deb just go to the documentation. Please could you help me? | 01:43 |
|---|
| Craig_Dem | I've never liked opera, I used it for a short time when it was the fastest browser. Bunk just prefer chrome's minimalism. | 01:43 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | lucenut, samba? | 01:43 |
|---|
| lucenut | I didn't install Samba. | 01:43 |
|---|
| Craig_Dem | But I* | 01:43 |

|---|
| kow | Craig_Dem, opera is way faster for me then chromium, but userscripts are slow to load | 01:44 |
|---|
| lucenut | When I try to hit \\192.168.123.104\ it asks for username/pw. | 01:44 |

| psilo2 | arrrghhh: I'm not 100% convinced their proxy servers help THAT much -- and it should still be configurable. I mean, if the proxies are that great, I could just run my own. | 01:44 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | lucenut: you must run: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER set the password to the same as the login password of $USER | 01:44 |
|---|
| lucenut | How did you know? | 01:44 |
|---|
| webchat | rww: ok, sorry | 01:44 |
|---|
| lucenut | Set what password? | 01:44 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | lucenut: Win7 operates samba differently for some reason so you must use samba authentication. | 01:44 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | psilo2, i agree it should be configurable. but on my phone, nothing even comes close to opera. skyfire is OK, but still not as good (and I think they use the same proxy method as well...) | 01:44 |
|---|
| infomomo | Any of you guys experiencing problems with Nautilus SEARCH ??? | 01:44 |

|---|
| psilo2 | arrrghhh: I only have a blackberry and opera is awful on it (like every other browser) so I can't speak for sure. | 01:45 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | jguzikowski: if you have java installed, sure | 01:45 |
|---|
| kow | jguzikowski, java | 01:45 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | jguzikowski, probably not. try it out on a live cd. | 01:45 |

| KE1HA | With Samba, you always have to have at least one User/PW combination to enact shares of any kind. | 01:45 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | psilo2, ah. i have a winmo phone that i run android on as well, and opera is still the best of all of 'em. | 01:45 |

| kunji | Hey everyone, does anyone know how well, if at all, the Mimo 720-F works with linux? Info here, http://www.mimomonitors.com/products/mimo-720-f-flex-screen-mountable-touchscreen-usb-monitor There are no official linux drivers for it, so if anyone knows if it works anyways or what needs to be done to make it work, that would be pretty awesome. | 01:45 |
|---|
| jguzikowski | actionparsnip: is java a bitch to install? i think i may have it but not sure | 01:45 |
|---|
| psilo2 | arrrghhh: I think the bottleneck on mobile is still very much the wireless connection, and not internet latencies, so I must conclude that a caching proxy isn't going to help much at all. | 01:46 |
|---|
| psilo2 | arrrghhh: I really think they're just after some data mining. | 01:46 |

| ikhider | KE1HA, Damn Small Linux recognizes it, not ubuntu | 01:57 |

| arrrghhh | Ubuntus, it's best to stick with what ubuntu runs. 10.10 will feature that kernel. | 01:57 |

| Ubuntus | hm... bummer | 01:57 |
|---|
| maco | webchat, arrrghhh: um actually thats changed lately | 01:57 |

| webchat | maco: so it's fixed? =-o | 01:58 |
|---|
| KE1HA | MBG1987, what was the links you needed, sri I miised it | 01:58 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | Ubuntus, do you have a need to go to that new kernel?!? | 01:58 |
|---|
| maco | arrrghhh, webchat: when you use gnome apps in kde, they get bubbles exactly the same as kde ones. when you use kde i apps in gnome, i believe the same thing happens. throughout 10.04 and 10.10 devel cycles apps' tray stuff has been being converted over to make menus on tray items work the same too | 01:58 |
|---|
| Ubuntus | when i upgrade to 10.10 do all my problems gonna resolve? like, no sound icon in Gnom panel, dummy sound output, no eth0 detected... | 01:58 |

| dooglus | hi guys. I recently installed linux on my granny's laptop because she kept getting spyware in windows. now she has somehow managed to get 'mywebsearch' as her default firefox search | 01:58 |

| MBG1987 | KE1HA I want to connect to my work pc in the company from my home pc using VPN the, both using ubuntu, both behind NAT, How to do it? | 01:59 |
|---|
| dooglus | how did that happen? she won't have meant to do it | 01:59 |
|---|
| laurus | dooglus, do you mean you installed the Linux kernel, or the GNU/Linux OS? | 01:59 |
|---|
| dooglus | laurus: I installed ubuntu 10.04 | 01:59 |
|---|
| dooglus | that's what I mean | 01:59 |
|---|
| laurus | Ah okay | 01:59 |
|---|
| ikhider | I tried so many distributions--to get Linux working all the way is such a rarity | 01:59 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | Ubuntus, no, do you think all those things will magically be solved with this new kernel tho?!? | 01:59 |
|---|
| KE1HA | MBG1987, yes I answered, you need the clint you comapny uses normally, and get Linux equalevent (if possible), else, no joy Im affraid. | 02:00 |
|---|

|---|
| dooglus | my question is, how does the mywebsearch malware trick my granny into installing itself on ubuntu? | 02:00 |
|---|
| ikhider | There is *always* an issue with Linux--if it is not wifi, it is audio or the graphics card or whatever | 02:00 |
|---|
| laurus | Does anyone here know how to view .idx and .sub files? | 02:00 |
|---|
| maco | dooglus: if you right click the search thingy on firefox you can change the default | 02:00 |
|---|
| dooglus | laurus: I use mplayer-nogui | 02:00 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | MBG1987, i also answered, use hamachi unless you want to use the company vpn. | 02:00 |
|---|
| Ubuntus | arrrghhh: well, that would be cool | 02:00 |
|---|
| laurus | dooglus, no, I mean like, view them as a list or a document | 02:00 |
|---|
| laurus | Not inside the movie itself | 02:00 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | Ubuntus, i'm sure it would. get to coding, all the source is there! | 02:00 |
|---|
| dooglus | maco: I know how to fix it. what I don't know is how it sneaked onto the computer. I'd like to stop it happening again | 02:00 |
|---|
| katoen | dooglus: perhaps its a firefox 'addon' | 02:01 |
|---|
| KE1HA | ikhider, you need to use the ndiswrapper approach like I do for my Linksys Wirelss Nics. | 02:01 |
|---|

| webchat | maco: so i'm stuck with fugly balloons if I want to support kde/gnome/windows :( | 02:02 |
|---|
| dooglus | katoen: the home page didn't change. what changed is the 'about:config' setting that tells it where to go when you type random words (not a URL) into the address bar | 02:02 |
|---|
| maco | webchat: quassel supports pure-qt and kde | 02:02 |
|---|
| KE1HA | You install ndiswrapper-common and utils, then install the driver.sys / .ini file, then modprobe the driver to the kernel. | 02:02 |
|---|
| dooglus | katoen: she didn't change that manaully | 02:02 |
|---|
| maco | webchat: its a compile-time option in quassel | 02:02 |

| psilo2 | ikhider: hw manufacturers don't always target linux. The easiest path is, if you want to run linux, shop for parts that already have good support. This is good for you, and encourages manufacturers to provide good linux drivers at the same time. | 02:07 |

| arrrghhh | i have all the "major" browsers installed, because every rendering engine produces slightly different results depending on the page. | 02:07 |

| arrrghhh | j-fish, do you have a hdd light or a CD activity light? | 02:08 |

|---|
| actionparsnip | j-fish: did you MD5 test the iso you downloaded? Did you check the CD for defects? | 02:08 |

| BlueJae | how? | 02:22 |
|---|
| Mr_Sonoma | BlueJae, you can't resize a partition that's mounted. reboot into a livecd session to do it | 02:22 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | neutralrobotboy, your swap is 6gb? how much RAM do you have? | 02:22 |
|---|
| BlueJae | ah | 02:22 |
|---|
| neutralrobotboy | arrrghhh: about 3gb | 02:22 |
|---|
| BlueJae | i'm pretty new with linux | 02:22 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | Mr_Sonoma, d'oh forgot that critical step lol. | 02:22 |
|---|
| Mr_Sonoma | arrrghhh, K.I.S.S. | 02:22 |
|---|
| KE1HA | All yu need to do is shrik of of the larger partitions, freeing up space, then reallocate it to swap or whatever you want / need it ti be. | 02:22 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | neutralrobotboy, that should be more than enough.... | 02:22 |
|---|
| Mr_Sonoma | :D | 02:22 |
|---|
| katoen | wakko10warner: seems ok to me | 02:22 |
|---|
| BlueJae | so there is no way to do it without a live cd since it's mounted | 02:22 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | Mr_Sonoma, yea, sometimes i forget the little things that make a big difference. ah well. | 02:23 |
|---|
| abhijit | BlueJae, in gparted right click the partition you want to edit and click on unmount and then you can do some actions on it | 02:23 |
|---|
| wakko10warner | http://pastebin.ca/1910587 <-- my user.log | 02:23 |
|---|
| Mr_Sonoma | arrrghhh, your not the only one trust me | 02:23 |
|---|
| wakko10warner | anyother log you need. My X windows screen seems to freeze | 02:23 |
|---|
| BlueJae | i think when i tried that it said it would erase all the data | 02:23 |
|---|
| KE1HA | e.g. swap should = RAM size, or in the case of like 512M, I go with 1GB | 02:23 |
|---|
| picard1421 | i just did apt-get install dwm.. what do i do to start it? is there a config i have to do or is the apt-get do it al lfor me? | 02:23 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | BlueJae, basically yes. if the OS is running the drive has to be mounted. if you're expanding a drive that the OS is not running on then you can. | 02:23 |
|---|
| BlueJae | i think i'll just have to wait till i get home and can run the live cd | 02:23 |
|---|
| wakko10warner | could it be my video driver, it happened when I updated it. | 02:23 |
|---|
| BlueJae | i see | 02:23 |
|---|
| Mr_Sonoma | abhijit, wont be able to do that on the partition that housing the OS BlueJae is currently using i don't think. | 02:23 |
|---|
| neutralrobotboy | arrrghhh: it's giving me some weird error message about a bad swap header. is there a way to pull up that error message from the console? | 02:23 |
|---|
| katoen | wakko10warner: my guess is there's something wrong with the driver (nvidia) try the 'nv' driver instead for the time being | 02:24 |
|---|
| BlueJae | nah | 02:24 |
|---|
| hiexpo | try sudo dwm | 02:24 |
|---|
| BlueJae | i tried earlier on the plane | 02:24 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | neutralrobotboy, check your logs. /var/log/messages or syslog. | 02:24 |
|---|
| neutralrobotboy | ok. one sec | 02:24 |
|---|
| BlueJae | it'll just have to wait | 02:24 |
|---|
| wakko10warner | I will switch. | 02:24 |
|---|
| BlueJae | thanks for the help though | 02:24 |
|---|
| rewati | actionparsnip: thanks it worked | 02:24 |
|---|
| KE1HA | BlueJae, is you can SSH to the machine, fdisk or cfdisk are simple to use tools. | 02:24 |
|---|
| rewati | actionparsnip: thanks a lot cya | 02:24 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | Mr_Sonoma, that's why you're here tho, to check mah work :D | 02:25 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | rewati: that sort of thing is one of the MASSIVE weaknesses in package based systems | 02:25 |
|---|
| hiexpo | actionparsnip, ^ :) | 02:25 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | hahaha jk | 02:25 |
|---|
| BlueJae | r those shell programs? | 02:25 |
|---|
| thomas_ | Is there an IRC for LIRC? | 02:25 |
|---|
| BlueJae | or commands? | 02:25 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | rewati: I suggest you run: sudo apt-get -f install to make sure all is square | 02:25 |
|---|
| Mr_Sonoma | BlueJae, be sure you back up anything critical. not saying anything bad will happen but there's always a risk of data loss when resizing partitions | 02:25 |
|---|
| BlueJae | always | 02:25 |
|---|
| rewati | actionparsnip: ok sure | 02:25 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | rewati: if you get two 0s then its all good | 02:25 |
|---|
| picard1421 | how do i add DWM to my xinit thing? | 02:25 |
|---|
| KE1HA | BlueJae, yes, both command line apps. | 02:25 |
|---|
| rewati | actionparsnip: where can i read all this about package management | 02:26 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | thomas_ yes, #lirc... but it doesn't look very active. | 02:26 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | rewati: online | 02:26 |
|---|
| BlueJae | yeah...for now i think i'll still with the gui. | 02:26 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | rewati: it happens a lot with flash so I just copied the commands but made it smell right for yours | 02:26 |
|---|
| BlueJae | my external and cd rom is at the house. i'm on the road right now so i'll just wait | 02:26 |
|---|
| KE1HA | :-) ... no worries, if your more comfortable with the GUI's especially hen partitioning, best stick with them. | 02:26 |
|---|
| BlueJae | for use | 02:27 |
|---|
| BlueJae | sure | 02:27 |
|---|
| thomas_ | Yeah, they're quiet in there. I'm having trouble installing a remote... HP TSGI-IR01 | 02:27 |
|---|
| thomas_ | Well, that's the receiver. | 02:27 |
|---|
| thomas_ | The remote itself is TSGH-IR01. | 02:27 |
|---|
| BlueJae | i've been reading about the terminal commands and all the cool stuff you can do but i'm just not quite there yet | 02:27 |
|---|
| BlueJae | shoot...i only keep windows so i can use netflix | 02:28 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | thomas_ you may be able to get help here or in #ubuntu-server... but i don't have any experience with it. i'd like to play with it tho haha | 02:28 |
|---|
| Mr_Sonoma | BlueJae, don't be scared. cli is where its at :D | 02:28 |

| rodolfo | yes | 02:34 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | rodolfo, ok? | 02:34 |

|---|
| katoen | nerdy_kid: for i in *.JPG; do mv -v "$i" $(basename "$i" .JPG).jpg; done | 02:34 |
|---|
| picard1421 | KE1HA: dont you need xinit installed before that guide? | 02:34 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | rodolfo, you need to be more specific. | 02:34 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: isn't itunes 7.3 way old? Aren't they up to 9.something now? | 02:34 |
|---|
| rodolfo | i cannot access my ipod | 02:34 |
|---|
| picard1421 | where is the config.h stored??? | 02:34 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | rodolfo, really? even on songbird? | 02:34 |

| katoen | arrrghhh: yes | 02:36 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: i've had to work through issues w/ my ipod nano 5Gen, and i've worked with an iphone, but unfortunately i haven't tried an ipod touch yet. | 02:36 |
|---|
| KE1HA | picard1421, Oh, yes I would say so, but Im not a DWM expert, just had tht one bookmarked. | 02:36 |
|---|
| rodolfo | ok | 02:36 |
|---|
| picard1421 | where is the DWM program stored so i can edit that config file? | 02:36 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | katoen, i'm either retarded or confused or both. i use a watch directory, but now i can't pause/stop torrents. i understand that's because i'm binding the file, but how else can i use a watch dir and be able to pause/stop torrents temporarily? | 02:36 |

| jhambo | Okular renders many greek characters incorrectly. For example, the greek lowercase mu shows up instead as a "proportional to" symbol. Acrobat reader does not have this problem. Any idea how to fix this?? | 02:37 |

| neutralrobotboy | arrrghhh: hmm... this details how to make hibernate work with swapfiles. what's probably happening is that i still have an active swapfile somewhere. since i have a swap partition, i don't need that anymore. is there a simple way to just turn off the swapfile altogether? | 02:37 |
|---|
| katoen | arrrghhh: hm never used the watch-dir functionality in rtorrent, so i guess i can't hep you there | 02:37 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | Brandy, what are you backing up to? | 02:37 |
|---|
| katoen | arrrghhh: hopefully someone else can comment on that | 02:37 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | katoen, damnit jim! :P | 02:37 |
|---|
| katoen | arrrghhh: also i'm very lazy :-) | 02:37 |
|---|
| Brandy | i just installed ubuntu and have put a few apps and a virtual XP for oficce purposes | 02:38 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | neutralrobotboy, i'd follow that guide. | 02:38 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: i've also heard good things about Songbird, but i haven't tried it yet (got things working w/ rhythmbox, so I didn't go on to try Songbird yet) | 02:38 |
|---|
| Brandy | and need to back up now the way it is now | 02:38 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | katoen, i am as well, which is why i love the watch-dir feature... | 02:38 |

| KE1HA | Brandy, is the VIrtual Box on a windows machine, or Linux ? | 02:39 |
|---|
| Brandy | a winodws i have to use office | 02:39 |
|---|
| Brandy | is a requirement at work | 02:39 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | Brandy, that's not a suitable backup device... you can use it, but i wouldn't recommend it. | 02:39 |
|---|
| Brandy | why ? | 02:39 |
|---|
| Brandy | it wont fit | 02:39 |
|---|
| w1n5ton | I have a problem | 02:39 |
|---|
| KE1HA | Well, you can use Office on Linux with Playonlinux & Wine, but I would jsut copy the Virtual Directory to a backup location. | 02:40 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: Amarok looked pretty good also if Songbird doesn't work out. There are so many to choose from its kinda nice. | 02:40 |
|---|
| Mr_Sonoma | what's your problem w1n5ton ? | 02:40 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | KE1HA, i think she wants a complete backup of everything... host & guest OS. | 02:40 |
|---|
| Brandy | i did but few apps dont work | 02:40 |
|---|
| random314 | Brandy: An iPod is not meant for general file-storage, something like a flash drive or a USB hard-drive would be ideal. | 02:40 |
|---|
| Brandy | need full usage of office | 02:40 |
|---|
| w1n5ton | I just ran the ubuntu updater and now my whole interface looks wierd | 02:40 |
|---|
| xangua | Brandy: there are also openoffice, lotus office, softmaker office (this is of pay) | 02:40 |
|---|
| katoen | w1n5ton: weird how? | 02:40 |
|---|
| picard1421 | anybody.. how do i / what would i do to config DWM | 02:41 |
|---|
| w1n5ton | like the panels are grey instead of black | 02:41 |
|---|
| KE1HA | Well, in that case, need a big drive, but at least fer the Virtual Machine, copy the Virtual DIR to a safe location. | 02:41 |
|---|
| Brandy | u dont undesrant is a job obligation | 02:41 |
|---|
| rodolfo | ok thanks | 02:41 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | random314: Some people really like Banshee too. so that might be a third choice. | 02:41 |
|---|
| Brandy | it is wat runs at my work | 02:41 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | Brandy: theres also googledocs and zoho | 02:41 |
|---|
| Mr_Sonoma | Brandy, usb hard drives are excellent. | 02:41 |
|---|
| Brandy | trust me i can use any other at home | 02:41 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | Brandy, don't worry about the office tips, ignore them. | 02:41 |
|---|
| Brandy | but official at work had to be that one | 02:41 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: Some people really like Banshee too. so that might be a third choice. | 02:41 |
|---|
| KE1HA | sri, didnt mean to confuse the issue :-) | 02:41 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | let's focus on your backups... do you want everything backed up... guest OS and host as well, or just your windows vm? | 02:41 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | random314: and waaay cheaper | 02:42 |
|---|
| Brandy | u think i like windows | 02:42 |

| random314 | Brandy: If you are running a Windows virtual machine inside of a Linux host then that is fine. Something to also consider is http://www.codeweavers.com/ Crossover which makes Microsoft Office almost like a native Linux program as far as you use it within Linux.

| katoen | picard1421: ok, so how does it not work exactly? | 02:43 |
|---|
| K-Rich | Hello all. | 02:43 |
|---|
| KE1HA | mrconnerton, no worries, hope it works. | 02:43 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | Brandy, that's why i put your name before everything i say :D do you want to backup your windows vm (the guest os) or everything, the linux host and the win guest? | 02:44 |
|---|
| K-Rich | i need a cross-platform lan focused im/client, (voice/vid not required but nice) soulution for linux/mac/windows network. any suggestions? | 02:44 |

| Brandy | all | 02:44 |
|---|
| picard1421 | katoen: any commands i do (alt+ shift+ enter) does nothing.. sswitching betwenn pane 1, 2, 3, 4, impossible without mouse.. etc... no commands work except the quit command | 02:44 |
|---|
| Brandy | i can make a machine again | 02:44 |
|---|
| picard1421 | i guess i need to "redo" the config file | 02:44 |
|---|
| Brandy | thats no issue | 02:44 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: i think all of them can save songs on the ipod but not all of them can do a sync (such as people are used to doing with iTunes.) Rythmbox you can drag songs over, but can't do sync, yet (coming in Maverick i understand) | 02:44 |
|---|
| katoen | K-Rich: jabber | 02:44 |
|---|
| Brandy | but ubuntu is my main concern | 02:44 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | Brandy, that's a little trickier. bit-for-bit copies are not easy. | 02:44 |
|---|

| ubottu | w1n5ton: 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. :-) | 02:46 |

| hiexpo | Brandy, kool | 02:47 |

| arrrghhh | Brandy, i just think you'll have an easier time there. | 02:47 |

| Brandy | yes | 02:47 |

| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: if you can't see your ipod on the 'places' menu after you plug it in then that will be the first hurdle to overcome. | 02:47 |

| random314 | You will need a large drive to do a full backup. Better way: enable folder sharing from the guest Windows into the host Linux by installing VirtualBox guest additions. Then save the files directly into your Linux filesystem and just back up the data from there. Only the files you create and work with are the ideal to backup. They would be tiny compared to a whole disk image and much easier to work with. | 02:48 |
|---|
| sander__ | But now I can't download anything from the xbmc mirror anymore. | 02:48 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: so when you plug it in, does a dialog box pop up and ask if you want to work with your photos? | 02:49 |
|---|
| Brandy | a full image | 02:49 |
|---|
| Brandy | so i can have what i have now installed | 02:49 |
|---|
| Brandy | including all i have so far | 02:50 |
|---|
| rodolfo | no | 02:50 |
|---|
| random314 | Brandy: Also do consider Codeweavers Crossover Office. It is tailored especially to get Microsoft Office working almost-native in Linux. With Crossover you would not need neither Virtual Box or the guest Windows. | 02:50 |

| Guest44248 | hello. I just installed ubuntu and everything works well, except for the fullscreen mode of youtube and other videos on the internet. Can anybody help me? I have a graphics card (nvidia) and it's supported and drivers are installed. The little mode works perfect. Fullscreen of downloaded videos works well. | 02:50 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | Brandy: check the crossover compatibility sheet | 02:51 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: exact words: "You have just inserted a medium with digital photos. Choose what application to launch" | 02:51 |
|---|
| sander__ | Anyone know how I can make sure I'm using an apt repository right? | 02:51 |
|---|
| random314 | Brandy: In my experience using Crossover Office it has worked perfectly. The only thing about Crossover is that it is a paid program. | 02:51 |

|---|
| KE1HA | sander__, comment out all but the PPA repo that you want in your source list. | 02:51 |

| w1n5ton | I think it's screwed up because the battery died in the middle of an upgrade | 02:52 |

| KE1HA | make sure you add the Ley in System->Administration->Software Sources | 02:52 |

| arrrghhh | Brandy, it's not very simple. | 02:54 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | Brandy: you can use partimage to make a disk image | 02:54 |
|---|
| KE1HA | sander__, ad the one you want, comment out those your dont, add the Auth Key's as stated earlier. | 02:54 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: Great! Thats means you're past some of the most difficult challenges already. So what happens when you open Rythmbox? | 02:54 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | Brandy, or clonezilla. or even better spool up an amahi server - but you need another rig for that! | 02:54 |

|---|
| KE1HA | Is it causing you issues then ? | 02:55 |
|---|
| random314 | Brandy: A full disc image backup would take a long time to do and you would have to do it everytime you changed your files. If you just want a base image then fine but if your looking to back-up your files as you go then a full disk image is not suitable. | 02:55 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | Brandy, clonezilla, partimage | 02:55 |

| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: are you on 10.04? | 02:57 |
|---|
| Brandy | well i guess i cant back up linux | 02:57 |
|---|
| rodolfo | no | 02:57 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | arrrghhh: i was easy, i simply informed of the facts | 02:57 |
|---|
| anthony_ | i can't mount any of my external partition. can any one help me. | 02:57 |
|---|
| Brandy | just what the system brings | 02:57 |

| arrrghhh | Brandy, that's right. you just _can't_. | 02:57 |

| rodolfo | on 9.14 | 02:57 |

| arrrghhh | actionparsnip, alrighty, i'll drop it... | 02:58 |
|---|
| Brandy | it will be a nice suggestion fot the developers | 02:58 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: you mean 9.04 or 9.10? | 02:58 |
|---|
| epinky | w1n5ton: how does it look now? | 02:58 |
|---|
| random314 | Brandy: All your files on Linux (the ones not in the Windows guest) are in your /home/USERNAME folder. That is ideally all you should be backing up. Everything else is easy to just reinstall if you have to! | 02:58 |
|---|
| |enigma| | hi guys I have csv log file but I need to look at those logs, but it is more than 100MB so cat is best but I need to filter from starting number such as 1 or 2, or 3 etc.. | 02:58 |

| |enigma| | how can I do that | 02:58 |

| rkirmizi | is there anyway 2 disable services from startup (like apache mysql-server) | 02:58 |
|---|
| rodolfo | sorry | 02:58 |
|---|
| Brandy | i personally think is the bes suggestion ever for linus systems | 02:58 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | Brandy, what make bit-for-bit copies easier? no body really uses them. | 02:58 |
|---|
| rodolfo | 9.10 | 02:58 |
|---|
| Brandy | nop inside the machine | 02:58 |
|---|
| hiexpo | mean oops 9.10 | 02:58 |
|---|
| w1n5ton | Running partial upgrade trying to clean it up first | 02:58 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | Brandy, that wasn't a complete sentence. | 02:59 |
|---|
| katoen | |enigma|: those lines start with numbers? | 02:59 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: okay, that should work. 9.10 has a lot of similarity to 10.04 (not everything, but many things similar) | 02:59 |
|---|
| random314 | Brandy: Again with Crossover (or WINE for free and more complicated) all your files would be in your /home folder so would be simple to just back up those files. | 02:59 |
|---|
| |enigma| | yeap | 02:59 |
|---|
| epinky | w1n5ton: screenshot of phpmyadmin? | 02:59 |

|---|
| |enigma| | some start with 1, | 02:59 |
|---|
| |enigma| | then 2, 3, 4 up to 10 | 02:59 |
|---|
| KE1HA | arrrghhh, rsync the folder offsite, then do incremental backups, keeping the inital a ful backup. | 02:59 |
|---|
| Brandy | i dont know how to see my files from linux side | 02:59 |
|---|
| w1n5ton | phpmyadmin? | 02:59 |

|---|
| Brandy | from windows | 02:59 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | KE1HA, but that's not bit-for-bit. what about my MBR? | 02:59 |
|---|
| random314 | Brandy: Because you're using a virtual machine, all your little files to back up and hidden inside one big file of the virtual machine. That complicates backing them up. | 03:00 |
|---|
| rodolfo | no | 03:00 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | Brandy, you have you share them. | 03:00 |
|---|
| KE1HA | On the VM it would be, not the Host OS, no. | 03:00 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | I'm asking about Rhythmbox just because i'm familiar with it and its a default program. rodolfo | 03:00 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | KE1HA, oh i thought we were still talking about host&guest. | 03:00 |
|---|
| epinky | w1n5ton: that was the link about? wasn't it? | 03:00 |

| |enigma| | <katoen> any idea | 03:01 |
|---|
| w1n5ton | it was just a screenshot of what I want the tabs to look like | 03:01 |

| linguini | How can I force a certain Mode/ModeLine to be used when starting X? | 03:01 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: oh, you're installing Rhythmbox now? | 03:01 |
|---|
| linguini | In particular, X is choosing 1600x1200, which is invalid for my monitor. | 03:01 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | linguini: if you set an xorg.conf you can set the leftmost value in xorg.conf | 03:02 |
|---|
| random314 | Brandy: You can email the critical files to back up to yourself (get a gmail account for lots of storage) AND IF you have the Virtual Box, NOT Virtual Box OSE installed then you can backup your work files to a flash drive too. Virtual Box OSE doesn't have USB support for flash drives. | 03:02 |
|---|
| rodolfo | yes | 03:02 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | Brandy, you can also share files between linux host and windows guest. | 03:02 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | random314: you can share the mounted folder as a folder in vbox to get round though :) | 03:02 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | obviously that doesn't secure you againt a hdd failure. | 03:02 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: okay and i'm also installing Songbird... | 03:02 |
|---|
| linguini | actionparsnip, Set the leftmost value? | 03:02 |
|---|
| random314 | Brandy: Yes, to share files install the "Guest Additions" inside of your Windows guest. | 03:02 |

|---|
| rodolfo | i finished | 03:03 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | Brandy, it's the OSE (open source ed.) is the one that doesn't have usb drivers, or RDP. | 03:03 |
|---|
| random314 | Brandy: If you can use a pendrive then I'm certain you have the full Virtual Box installed and not Virtual Box OpenSourceEdition | 03:03 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | linguini: yes, you will define resolutions in xorg.conf, the leftmost is the default. alternatively you can set an xrandr command to set the res at logon | 03:03 |
|---|
| Brandy | and also installed a guest that alloud me to use with out capturing the mouse | 03:03 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | linguini: yeah some do | 03:03 |
|---|
| linguini | actionparsnip, leftmost of what? | 03:03 |
|---|
| random314 | Brandy: Ok, I thought OSE didn't have USB - You know better since your using it! | 03:03 |
|---|
| Brandy | it is the opensource one | 03:03 |
|---|
| linguini | actionparsnip, I will paste my current xorg.conf... | 03:03 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | linguini: the modes in the display section | 03:03 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | linguini: if you wanna | 03:04 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | Brandy, not if USB is working on the guest... | 03:04 |

|---|
| Brandy | Oracle VM virtualbox | 03:04 |

| Brandy | 3.2.6 | 03:04 |
|---|
| Brandy | if u have that i can tell u how to use pendrives | 03:04 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | Brandy, yes, and there's 2 versions. closed & open source - the closed source ed has additional features like usb and rdp. | 03:04 |
|---|
| Brandy | in ur vm | 03:04 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | oy ve. | 03:04 |
|---|
| rodolfo | no | 03:04 |
|---|
| random314 | Brandy: If a pendrive is working for you, that is a good solution! Seriously, backing up to a pendrive is a decent way to go about it! | 03:05 |
|---|
| Brandy | i manage to use USB on the opensource one,just doing researchs online | 03:05 |

| actionparsnip | anthony_: can you give a pastebin of the output of the command I gave please | 03:06 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | On top is Library with several items, then Stores with several items, then Devices, then Playlists rodolfo | 03:06 |
|---|
| Brandy | how about backup my softwares | 03:06 |
|---|
| sander__ | KE1HA, still diffrent result. | 03:06 |
|---|
| Brandy | si if any i can have them back up | 03:06 |

| rkirmizi | actionparsnip, thx :D | 03:06 |

| anthony_ | i already paste it. | 03:06 |

| arrrghhh | Brandy, we gave you solutions for that! rsync if you don't want bit-for-bit, partimage, clonezilla etc for if you do! | 03:06 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: are you seeing all that in the upper lefthand side? | 03:07 |
|---|
| rodolfo | is device menu | 03:07 |
|---|
| KE1HA | sander__, what do you mean, diffrent results, what is tha ACTUALLY FAULT OR PROBLEM UR TRYING TO SOLVE THEN ? | 03:07 |
|---|
| random314 | Brandy: Software is better to just reinstall. It can be time consuming if you have to install the host OS first THEN install a guest OS BUT your system shouldn't need that very often at all. Once it's set up you're usually good to just use it indefinitely. | 03:07 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: please go on... | 03:07 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | linguini: in the subsections in the screen section you define modes there too | 03:07 |

| linguini | actionparsnip, I created the xorg.conf file by doing: Xorg :1 -configure | 03:07 |
|---|
| rodolfo | oh, no sorry there is not device menu | 03:07 |
|---|
| Brandy | well what about a list that runs on terminal with all my softwares | 03:07 |

|---|
| rodolfo | there are other 3 menus | 03:08 |
|---|
| Brandy | via terminal | 03:08 |
|---|
| sander__ | KE1HA, means.. "downgrading" a package version. | 03:08 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | Brandy, listen to random314 he speaks wisdom. most people don't need bit-for-bit copies because complete hard drive failures are rare, and bit-for-bit copies are freaking annoying. | 03:08 |
|---|
| rodolfo | yes | 03:08 |
|---|
| etrask | maco that didn't give me what I needed, I need to know the brand and model of embedded mousepad on my laptop :( | 03:08 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: okay | 03:08 |
|---|
| KE1HA | Yeah, that's a whoel diffrent kettle of fish. | 03:08 |

| sander__ | KE1HA, from 1:10.08~svn32246-lucid1 to 1:9.11-lucid2 | 03:08 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | anthony_: I can't advise til you give me the output of the commands: sudo fdisk -l; mount use http://pastie.org to give the output | 03:08 |
|---|
| sander__ | KE1HA, if thats possible.. | 03:08 |

| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: I'm starting Songbird now to see where it is in there... | 03:09 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | linguini: obviously change the resolutions to ones you want to use | 03:10 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | Brandy, then backup your essential files, the ones you can't recreate. software is easily reinstalled. | 03:10 |
|---|

|---|
| rodolfo | ok | 03:10 |

| KE1HA | sander__, I must say, Im not the best expert on downgrading, but will have a nose around and see what I can find. | 03:10 |

|---|
| koshari | etrask googling the model may be an alternative, | 03:18 |
|---|
| KwikkSilva | arrrghhh, pretty sure i think its server side - i've read alot of posts | 03:18 |

| arrrghhh | KwikkSilva, well maybe it's a limitation of the server. | 03:19 |

| etrask | koshari ... that was simpler than it had to be. Thanks a bunch :P | 03:19 |

| Taev | thanks anyways guys | 03:19 |

| actionparsnip | !sound | mkquist | 03:19 |

| ubottu | mkquist: 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. | 03:19 |
|---|
| KwikkSilva | arrrghhh, i'd be surprised - surely it can do better than 800x600 | 03:19 |
|---|
| lexmarkhelp | I have tried using CUPS, but that doesn't work. When I got to printing, ubuntu detects the printer but deosnt print. | 03:19 |
|---|
| VS- | I'm pretty sure it may be related to the "Error: unexpectedly disconected from boot status daemon". | 03:19 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | KwikkSilva: it can, it just needs some config | 03:20 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | KwikkSilva, lol you never know. what's the host set to? | 03:20 |
|---|
| samII | hi | 03:20 |
|---|
| mkquist | actionparsnip: yeah, already been there, just looking for other thoughts | 03:20 |
|---|
| KwikkSilva | actionparsnip, yeah i had a look around and there was mention of xconf | 03:20 |
|---|
| sander__ | KE1HA, worked.. after I did apt-get remove --purge | 03:20 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | mkquist: run alsamixer in terminal, make sure all is cranked. Just because the chip is seen doesnt mean its configured | 03:20 |
|---|
| KwikkSilva | but people reckoned it screwed their settings | 03:20 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | KwikkSilva: then you will need to form an xorg.conf then | 03:20 |
|---|
| KE1HA | lexmarkhelp, Lexmark is not well suppirted on any linux distribution, I've found very few sucess cases using their printers on Linux. | 03:20 |

| sander__ | KE1HA, thansk for the help tho.. to clearify the problem. | 03:21 |

| KE1HA | sander__, you should write upa "How-Too" for others wanting to do the same things. | 03:21 |

| Brandy | Im In Touch ups | 03:21 |
|---|
| Brandy | it is free | 03:21 |

| arrrghhh | lexmarkhelp, unfortunately KE1HA isn't joking. i always buy hp printers for that reason. and if that's the case then why not use opensuse? | 03:21 |

| KwikkSilva | actionparsnip, is there a default xorg.conf i can use? | 03:23 |
|---|
| KwikkSilva | i found one - but i have no idea idf its going to hose the system | 03:23 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: try installling it and then restart RB and see if that shows your iPod then... | 03:23 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | KE1HA, yea but if it works with your printer... haha | 03:24 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | KwikkSilva: you can generate one in root recovery mode by running: Xorg --configure you can then pad it from there | 03:24 |
|---|
| KE1HA | Not Mine, there all HP's, "Always" .. :-) | 03:24 |
|---|
| Dist` | is there a way I can 'restart' the ubuntu desktop without effecting the firefox downloasd I have running? | 03:24 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | KwikkSilva: you will need to reboot to get back to desktop | 03:24 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | KE1HA, ditto. | 03:24 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | Dist`: no, cant think of any way | 03:24 |

|---|
| arrrghhh | we use all HP at work, they are fantastic printers. | 03:24 |

| Dist` | my desktop is 'frozen', I can't even open folders through the panel at the top of my screen | 03:25 |

| rodolfo | ok | 03:25 |
|---|
| inktri | is it possible to download packages that exist on my laptop onto my desktop (which does not have internet access)? | 03:25 |
|---|
| rodolfo | i restart the computer? | 03:25 |
|---|
| rodolfo | or rithmbox? | 03:25 |
|---|
| KE1HA | Dist`, I dont think so, if you kill-X, it's going to gill any apps running onit, however, your download manager should pickup where it left off on resume. | 03:25 |
|---|
| Alias | Anyone good with Inkscape? | 03:25 |
|---|
| VS- | Also, arrrghhhm, it does boot, it just gets to this prompt with sudo, etc. | 03:26 |
|---|
| KwikkSilva | actionparsnip, i have no way of getting a monitor to thsi machine tonight so maybe i should hold off messing with it | 03:26 |
|---|
| KwikkSilva | need monitor for recoevery mode right? | 03:26 |
|---|
| Dist` | KE1HA unfortunately some of my downloads I have running are from websites that implement a 'queue'ing system where by if the download stops, you have to queue again and are given a new download link, which screws up resuming | 03:26 |
|---|
| Dist` | i guess my only option is to wait untill downloads finish and do a restart | 03:26 |
|---|
| guille1983 | hey I tried to load the installer and it failed, it says it will load a default desktop session but it asks for a user and password. What is the default user/password ? | 03:26 |
|---|
| KE1HA | Bummer, know how that is, ya gotta get back in line, that sux. | 03:27 |
|---|
| Dist` | bit of a shame, in windows you can just kill explorer and start it again | 03:27 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | inktri, get debs? i think there's a way. can't remember. google. | 03:27 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | KwikkSilva: no worries dude, smoe cards dont pick up automagicaqlly and canonical seem to thing udev can find all but it doesnt, an xorg.conf file is often needed but lucid doesn't ship with one by default | 03:27 |
|---|
| Dist` | oh well, thanks anyway | 03:27 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: install the ipod package and then restart Rhythmbox. i don't think you'll need to restart computer, but if it doesn't work immediately try rebooting. | 03:27 |

| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: then if that doesn't work i found an alternative method: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/easy-way-to-sync-your-iphone-with.html | 03:28 |

| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: and that way says they tested with Karmic/9.10 so that should work. There are many programs to work w/ music and ipod, but of course its challenging to work with iPod because Apple keeps changing things with their firmware, etc. that makes it hard to keep compatibility working (as the post re: Songbird said. Finally Songbird stopped trying it looks like). But i'm sure there'll be several different programs that will | 03:30 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | work. | 03:30 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | RandyRKelly: run: sudo lshw -C network what is the product line in your wireless device | 03:30 |
|---|
| rodolfo | yes | 03:31 |

| actionparsnip | rodolfo: nUboon2Age http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/03/sync-iphone-and-ipod-touch-in-ubuntu.html | 03:31 |
|---|
| KE1HA | [ZoD]Phantom, have a go at: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 03:31 |
|---|
| KE1HA | then startx | 03:31 |
|---|
| [ZoD]Phantom | KE1HA im having a main problem first: | 03:31 |
|---|
| [ZoD]Phantom | KE1HA i have the "mount of root file system failed" how can i fix this? | 03:32 |
|---|
| KE1HA | but save your xorg.conf to xorg.conf.bak or somethign first. | 03:32 |

| picard1421 | hey guys is there a good guide on setting up an openVPN connection to tunnel ALLL data through a VPN? | 03:32 |
|---|
| picard1421 | basically if its not going through the VPN then no data goes through at all? what would be the procedure for setting that up | 03:32 |

| Guest98392 | What is the best IRC chat program for linux? | 03:32 |
|---|
| RandyRKelly | Well give me a min | 03:32 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | Guest98392, i like xchat. | 03:32 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | Guest98392: there is no best IRC app. | 03:32 |

| uRock | gnome-xchat | 03:32 |

| === jeremy is now known as Guest21090 |
| === bgs100 is now known as bgs000 |
| KE1HA | [ZoD]Phantom, Hmm, what happened that caused that ? | 03:32 |

| Corsairs | or Konversation | 03:32 |

| arrrghhh | actionparsnip, lol your comments are awesome. | 03:33 |
|---|
| picard1421 | anybody? | 03:33 |
|---|
| [ZoD]Phantom | KE1HA no idea, my cousin uses the pc | 03:33 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | arrrghhh: it just really baffles me how people can even concieve a universal "best" of anything | 03:33 |
|---|
| abhijit_ | !openvpn | picard1421 | 03:33 |
|---|
| ubottu | picard1421: OpenVPN is a vpn technology in Ubuntu, sudo apt-get install openvpn and then see http://openvpn.net/ and see the documentation "HOWTO" noting you have already installed it. ;-) It rocks! | 03:33 |
|---|
| KE1HA | [ZoD]Phantom, have you looked at your FSTAB .. ? | 03:33 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | actionparsnip, i know. but i'm constantly googling "best of ..." to see what people *think* is the best. then i make my own conclusion based on my needs/wants. | 03:34 |
|---|
| KE1HA | fixing X-org is secondary at this point. | 03:34 |
|---|
| [ZoD]Phantom | KE1HA tahts what im looking at but i have no idea what all that means | 03:34 |
|---|
| === abhijit_ is now known as abhijit |
| uRock | it is better to be fed many options as opposed to none | 03:34 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | actionparsnip, but that link you gave him/her was very helpful so i'm not dogging on you at all. | 03:34 |
|---|
| perlsyntax | does anyone know if X-FI Xtreme audio is support by ubuntu? | 03:34 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | arrrghhh: exactly, for some, even living isn't best | 03:34 |
|---|
| KE1HA | what is the "exact" error yoru getting? | 03:34 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | actionparsnip, ouch! but true enough. | 03:34 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | actionparsnip: thank you i'll check that out... | 03:34 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | arrrghhh: didnt detect any dogging dude, its all good | 03:34 |
|---|
| perlsyntax | or is there a howto for it | 03:35 |
|---|
| VS- | I'm trying to newly install, and I get to a prompt with "ubuntu@ubuntu:~$" | 03:35 |
|---|
| [ZoD]Phantom | KE1HA http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1343744 that msg | 03:35 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | VS-, that's after you've installed ubuntu? | 03:35 |
|---|
| VS- | No. | 03:35 |
|---|
| VS- | Before. | 03:35 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | booting livecd? | 03:36 |
|---|
| uRock | That is the LiveCD's prompt | 03:36 |

| VS- | I get to it anytime I try to install though. | 03:36 |

| uRock | Once you install it will be screenname@PCname | 03:36 |
|---|
| perlsyntax | is there a howto | 03:36 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | VS-, wait, do you get a prompt to "try or install" basically when the disc boots? | 03:36 |
|---|
| VS- | No. | 03:37 |
|---|
| VS- | I don't. | 03:37 |
|---|
| tensorpudding | VS-: are you not using the graphical install? | 03:37 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | it'll have more options, like test memory | 03:37 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | Guest98392: I like Konversation for irc. | 03:37 |
|---|
| VS- | I can't, it doesn't give me an option to. | 03:37 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | VS-, yes, which disc did you download. server edition or alternate installer perhaps? | 03:37 |
|---|
| KE1HA | [ZoD]Phantom, so was that your problem, or one similar? | 03:37 |
|---|
| tensorpudding | Which install disk are you using? | 03:37 |
|---|
| VS- | Desktop Edition :/ | 03:37 |
|---|
| [ZoD]Phantom | ke1 the very same one, and im not sure how to fix it. | 03:37 |
|---|
| [ZoD]Phantom | KE1HA the very same one, and im not sure how to fix it. | 03:37 |
|---|
| uRock | Sounds like a bad image? | 03:37 |
|---|
| tensorpudding | VS-: any errors on boot? | 03:38 |
|---|
| tensorpudding | is this for 10.04? | 03:38 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | VS-, could be a bad image like uRock said. do you get any other errors? it just drops a prompt? | 03:38 |
|---|
| allguru | i know that this is in-relevant a bit , but it's URGENT :( , the site www.noobsnetwork.com is going to be a site for educating 3D and Engineering and Web Design in Video Tutorials , i want to use my old domain www.open-class.org for the site , but this dark theme isn't suitable , what about this light one http://noobsnetwork.com/portal.php?style=1 , you can talk to me to proof that i'm not a spam bot , lol .. | 03:38 |
|---|
| VS- | Unexpectedly disconnected from boot status daemon. | 03:38 |

| arrrghhh | haha gang troubleshooting. | 03:38 |
|---|
| KE1HA | [ZoD]Phantom, follow that check-disk section and see where that gets you. | 03:38 |
|---|
| VS- | Yes, 10.04 | 03:38 |
|---|
| [ZoD]Phantom | KE1HA i got that and i think its fine. | 03:38 |
|---|
| uRock | !spam | allguru | 03:38 |
|---|
| roved2101 | Boooooooooom! | 03:38 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | VS-, did you do a MD5 checksum before you burned? | 03:38 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | VS-, does the disc work in any other computers? | 03:38 |
|---|
| tensorpudding | it seems like it could be possible that the xorg autoconfiguration got botched, i suppose | 03:38 |
|---|
| VS- | It does. | 03:39 |
|---|
| mkquist | actionparsnip: thanx for that, turns out i hadnt been to all of those pages, sounds up now... =) | 03:39 |
|---|
| KE1HA | and did you re-mount the partition and fix the fstab afterwards ? | 03:39 |
|---|
| allguru | uRock , no dude :( | 03:39 |
|---|
| allguru | uRock: i need help | 03:39 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | VS-, there's something it doesn't like about the hardware. you can try the alternate install disc, but no promises. | 03:39 |
|---|
| allguru | uRock: the other rooms are dead . | 03:39 |
|---|
| [ZoD]Phantom | KE1HA what you mean, how i remount? | 03:39 |
|---|
| [ZoD]Phantom | KE1HA was it the sudo mount -o etc etc? | 03:40 |
|---|
| allguru | ok , Bye :( . | 03:40 |
|---|
| KE1HA | udo mount -o remount,rw / | 03:40 |
|---|
| VS- | So there's nothing I can do with this prompt? | 03:40 |
|---|
| KE1HA | sudo .. .. .. | 03:40 |
|---|
| [ZoD]Phantom | KE1HA just did that, after that what else? | 03:40 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | VS-, i mean you can try some things, but if the disc boots on other computers then there's probably some hardware that isn't playing nice. | 03:40 |

| Taev | Im trying to install the http module for TCL, im specifying where its at and I keep getting "checking for Tcl configuration... configure: error: /usr/share/tcltk/tcl8.4/tclConfig.sh directory doesn't contain tclConfig.sh" | 03:40 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | mkquist: nice | 03:40 |
|---|
| VS- | What can I do? | 03:41 |
|---|
| rodolfo | it still dont say devices | 03:41 |
|---|
| KE1HA | do a quick ls -al on the fstab and see who the owner & group is | 03:41 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | Taev, what is tcl? | 03:41 |
|---|
| Dev_ | hmm XChat 2 keeps crashing | 03:41 |
|---|
| Taev | how can ./tcl8.4/tclConfig.sh NOT contain tclConfig.sh | 03:41 |
|---|
| Taev | its a scripting language | 03:41 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: you're back. okay, so i guess its time to try the second method. | 03:41 |
|---|
| lfaraone | If you don't have plymouth installed, say, on a server, does "splash" in the kernel parameter do antyhing? | 03:41 |
|---|
| rodolfo | ok | 03:41 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: here's something on songbird/ipod compatibility: http://getsatisfaction.com/songbird/topics/sync_songs_to_ipod?utm_medium=widget&utm_source=widget_songbird | 03:42 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: oops, wrong one | 03:42 |
|---|
| [ZoD]Phantom | KE1HA i did the "ls -al" and i got a list, what am i looking for? | 03:42 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | Taev, sounds awful. probalby outside of the scope of this room, no offense. | 03:42 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: then if that doesn't work i found an alternative method: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/easy-way-to-sync-your-iphone-with.html | 03:42 |
|---|
| Dev_ | actionparsnip, crap - crashed the xorg server | 03:42 |
|---|
| uRock | allguru, sorry, my kid wanted ice cream and she is my boss | 03:42 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: which looks like its really the same as the one actionparsnip posted | 03:43 |
|---|
| KE1HA | Thr Group and Owner., The problem is more than likely a curruption error and will take fdisk to fix it. | 03:43 |

| arrrghhh | [ZoD]Phantom, i believe it's just "fsck /dev/disk" | 03:44 |

| KE1HA | in a terminla sudo fdisk -l what your looking for is the root partition. | 03:44 |
|---|
| [ZoD]Phantom | arrrghhh it says clean etc etc etc | 03:44 |
|---|
| [ZoD]Phantom | KE1HA is sda1 | 03:45 |
|---|
| bjegovic | i didnt typed that xD | 03:45 |
|---|
| KE1HA | ok, is it ext3 or 4? | 03:45 |
|---|
| [ZoD]Phantom | KE1HA ext3 | 03:45 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | bjegovic: glad to hear that! | 03:45 |
|---|
| KE1HA | ok, then: sudo fsck.ext4 /dev/sda1 | 03:45 |
|---|
| KE1HA | opps sri, ext 3 | 03:45 |
|---|
| Melodist | my boyfriend is trying to install twin terminal window manager, but he seems to be missing GNU bash | 03:45 |
|---|
| KE1HA | Not 4 | 03:45 |
|---|
| Melodist | how can he install it? | 03:45 |
|---|
| [ZoD]Phantom | let me see | 03:45 |
|---|
| bjegovic | for me too :P | 03:45 |
|---|
| Melodist | what package does it belong to or whatever? | 03:46 |
|---|
| bjegovic | some person from here told me that | 03:46 |
|---|
| rodolfo | when i try to add the repository it says command not found | 03:46 |
|---|
| bjegovic | William_Shaftner | 03:46 |
|---|
| KE1HA | [ZoD]Phantom, do: sudo fsck.ext3 /dev/sda1 | 03:46 |
|---|
| bjegovic | William_Shaftner told me on private to do that | 03:46 |
|---|
| lfaraone | Melodist: if you're using Ubuntu, you have to have bash installed. It won't boot without it, I'm pretty sure. | 03:46 |
|---|
| [ZoD]Phantom | KE1HA i did, and it said clean etc etc | 03:46 |
|---|
| abhijit | bjegovic, thats why no pm. | 03:46 |
|---|
| maco | bjegovic: this is why you should get all support *in channel* not through PMs, that way you can be warned as soon as something bad is said | 03:46 |
|---|
| Melodist | hrm | 03:46 |
|---|
| lfaraone | Melodist: does "which bash" tell you anything if you run it in the terminal? | 03:47 |
|---|
| uRock | you'd think that the Intro to unix/linux book would say not to try that command | 03:47 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | bjegovic, and perhaps quit trolling about CS 1.6... | 03:47 |
|---|
| DasEi | Melodist: i tried terminator before, that did well for me, see : | 03:47 |
|---|
| Melodist | so then what other dependencies could he be missing? he already installed build essential, which installs gnu-make, right? | 03:47 |
|---|
| KE1HA | Ok, so its saying it's a clean partition, puzzling, only think I can think then is fstab is messed abotu somehow. | 03:47 |
|---|
| DasEi | !info terminator | 03:47 |
|---|

| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: when you try to add which repository? | 03:48 |

| [ZoD]Phantom | KE1HA this is one thing i saw when i did this command: "cat /etc/fstab": | 03:48 |
|---|
| KwikkSilva_ | grrr | 03:48 |
|---|
| maco | Melodist: im also a fan of terminator | 03:48 |
|---|
| KwikkSilva_ | stupid xchat | 03:48 |

| DasEi | !info terminator > Melodist | 03:48 |
|---|
| maco | Melodist: its a terminal emulator (can replace gnome-terminal) that does tiling stuff too | 03:49 |
|---|
| [ZoD]Phantom | KE1HA how can i do that if i cant even get into ubuntu? im doing this through a diff pc. | 03:49 |
|---|
| Melodist | Oh | 03:49 |
|---|
| Melodist | I see | 03:49 |
|---|
| KwikkSilva_ | k - forget the xserver - this ones more important anyway | 03:49 |
|---|
| KE1HA | do you have any fstab lines that start with dvpts ? | 03:49 |
|---|
| Melodist | so it does the same thing twin does? | 03:49 |
|---|
| maco | Melodist: i think so | 03:49 |
|---|
| KwikkSilva_ | does this post make any sense to snayone - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1535015 | 03:49 |

| uRock | I tried the killer command in a vbox and it denied the command permission | 03:49 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: when i try sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pmcenery/ppa it works for me | 03:49 |
|---|
| KE1HA | [ZoD]Phantom, Ok, sri, you need to Live-CD Boot and be on the PC to do all this stuff. | 03:50 |
|---|
| [ZoD]Phantom | KE1HA is there a comand to know what version of ubuntu is on the pc? | 03:50 |
|---|
| maco | uRock: youd need sudo, and youd have to read the rm manpage to see that the syntax for the killer command has changed a bit to keep people who dont know it changed from destroying others' systems | 03:50 |
|---|
| KE1HA | [ZoD]Phantom, with the Live-CD you should be able to gain Net Acess and IRC from it. | 03:50 |
|---|
| uRock | nevermind, the vbox install is now ruined | 03:50 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: looks like we both used the exact same command. | 03:50 |
|---|
| DasEi | [ZoD]Phantom: lsb_release -a | 03:50 |
|---|
| maco | uRock: oh wait, the * was in there. yep just plain with sudo would work there | 03:51 |
|---|
| [ZoD]Phantom | ok its 9.10 ty | 03:51 |
|---|
| A-Non | Any time I enable compiz, the window borders and title bar disappear, and none of the effects work. Any help? | 03:51 |
|---|
| uRock | rm does its job well | 03:51 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: just to be sure i tried your command and it worked for me. | 03:51 |
|---|
| rodolfo | but why it dont works? | 03:52 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: graphics capable and drivers well set ? | 03:52 |
|---|
| KE1HA | [ZoD]Phantom, cat/etc/lsb-release | 03:52 |
|---|
| KE1HA | I think :-) | 03:52 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: ./compiz-check tells me it should work, drivers installed through hardware drivers menu | 03:53 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | actionparsnip: need some help here. rodolfo is trying to add a repository and is getting 'command not found' for sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pmcenery/ppa | 03:53 |
|---|
| uRock | how do I move a home made command into one of the $PATH directories? | 03:53 |
|---|
| KE1HA | [ZoD]Phantom, Additnally, I had all sorts of FS issues on 9.xx releases, I have (0) system with that distro on it, all 8.x or 10.x | 03:54 |

| Benny_132 | Hey guys i have this 200mb text file, and there is a problem on like line 800,000 what is the best way to open the file at that location to check the line for errors | 03:54 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: so maybe a look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log could help, apart from | 03:54 |
|---|
| DasEi | !cssm | 03:54 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | actionparsnip: rodolfo is on Karmic. any ideas what could be going on? | 03:54 |
|---|
| KE1HA | [ZoD]Phantom, but clearly, there's a probple with the partition or fstab one or the other. | 03:54 |
|---|
| DasEi | !ccsm | A-Non | 03:54 |
|---|
| ubottu | A-Non: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz | 03:54 |
|---|
| [ZoD]Phantom | KE1HA wel i want to get my stuff from that pc and save it, and then install a new version | 03:54 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | nUboon2Age: check the release, add-apt-repository isn't in Hardy and may not be in Jaunty | 03:54 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: I'll take a look in that I guess... I have CCSM installed | 03:54 |
|---|
| uRock | Benny_132, cat <name of file> | 03:54 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | !info add-apt-repository | 03:55 |
|---|
| ubottu | Package add-apt-repository does not exist in lucid | 03:55 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | hmm | 03:55 |
|---|
| mnaines | I found out how to get Ubuntu to run entirely on a flash drive with persistence and zero hardware dependency, but it requires a flash drive with a minimum of 16GB capacity | 03:55 |
|---|
| KE1HA | [ZoD]Phantom, you can do that from the Live CD. | 03:55 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | actionparsnip: thing is those instructions were specifically for Karmic (which rodolfo has) | 03:55 |
|---|
| [ZoD]Phantom | does it matter if i access it with livecd with a diff version? | 03:55 |
|---|
| abhijit | !usb | mnaines | 03:55 |
|---|
| ubottu | mnaines: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 03:55 |
|---|
| KE1HA | provided you have like a USB key or / HDD or somethign. | 03:55 |
|---|
| DasEi | actionparsnip: works since ibex | 03:55 |
|---|
| uRock | or you can use more <nameoffile> | 03:55 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | rodolfo: nUboon2Age can you use a pastebin to give the output of: lsb_release -a | 03:56 |
|---|
| mnaines | abhijit, I'm not talking about installing Ubuntu from a flash drive, I am talking about installing it TO and running it on a flash drive. | 03:56 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | actionparsnip: i tried it on Lucid and it worked for me. | 03:56 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | DasEi: well it ain working there :) | 03:56 |
|---|
| abhijit | mnaines, min requirement is about 4gb space only (apprx) | 03:56 |
|---|
| abhijit | mnaines, not of 16 gb | 03:56 |
|---|
| uRock | Benny_132, "vi <name of file> then scroll down to that line | 03:56 |
|---|
| guille1983 | hey I tried to load the installer and it failed, it says it will load a default desktop session but it asks for a user and password. What is the default user/password ? | 03:57 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: do you understand what actionparsnip is asking for? | 03:57 |
|---|
| Ca5 | âû åáëàíû | 03:57 |
|---|
| mnaines | abhijit, yes, but I say minimum 16GB flash drive capacity because you need room for swap space plus updates, customizations, and whatnot | 03:57 |
|---|
| rodolfo | no | 03:57 |
|---|
| Benny_132 | uRock: this file has over 1 million lines could take a while | 03:57 |
|---|
| Ca5 | äà | 03:57 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | actionparsnip: what is that program that automatically handles pastebin for you? | 03:57 |
|---|
| Ca5 | áëÿòü | 03:57 |
|---|
| [ZoD]Phantom | KE1HA i appreciate your help, ty. | 03:57 |
|---|
| Ca5 | õóéëîëî | 03:57 |
|---|
| uRock | there is a way to name the line, but I'll have to search my Unix/Linux book | 03:57 |

| test34 | nubooontuL search for pastebin in Synaptic? | 03:58 |
|---|
| mnaines | abhijit, you can run Ubuntu entirely on a flash drive with persistence and no hardware dependency, but you need a 16GB flash drive or bigger | 03:58 |
|---|
| abhijit | mnaines, okk | 03:58 |
|---|
| littlebear | 16gb? | 03:58 |
|---|
| Ca5 | èäè íàõóé ãîâíî | 03:58 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | nUboon2Age: try: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; lsb_release -a | pastebinit | 03:58 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | actionparsnip: test34 i found it | 03:58 |
|---|
| KE1HA | [ZoD]Phantom, got through the check-disk again when your Live-CD is loaded. | 03:58 |
|---|
| littlebear | mnaines: o.o, i ran puppylinux on a 8gb, it only needs 100mb | 03:58 |
|---|
| abhijit | so that want a language at all? :( | 03:58 |
|---|
| abhijit | wasnt* | 03:58 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: try sudo apt-get install pastebinit; lsb_release -a | pastebinit | 03:59 |
|---|
| mnaines | littlebear, I say 16GB because you need room for the swap space, all the updates, whatever customizations you decide to use | 03:59 |
|---|
| littlebear | mnaines: true | 03:59 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | littlebear, i've run ubuntu on 10gb but it was NOT easy. | 03:59 |
|---|
| littlebear | arrrghhh: 10gb flash drive? woah, that's painful | 04:00 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | littlebear: its enough for an ubuntu install dude | 04:00 |
|---|
| littlebear | arrrghhh: i noe that archlinux uses 300mb with their netinstall, | 04:00 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | littlebear, lol i was talking about a recovery portion converted into an ubuntu install but ok. | 04:00 |
|---|
| uRock | Benny_132, man grep look at the -c arguement | 04:00 |
|---|
| rodolfo | it worked | 04:00 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | littlebear, there's a netinstall of ubuntu that uses about the same. | 04:00 |
|---|
| Benny_132 | uRock: ok thanks man | 04:00 |
|---|
| KE1HA | [ZoD]Phantom, Here's the FS Wont Mount BUG on 9.04: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/468450 .. Probably a like or similar issue on your distro. | 04:00 |
|---|
| mnaines | arrrghhh, the problem with running Ubuntu entirely on a flash drive is it is painfully slow, you don't have much room for storing your files and stuff, but if you can tolerate that, you can actually be rest assured that you can use your full ubuntu setup on any machine that can boot from USB | 04:00 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | littlebear, but you don't get gnome or OOO do ya? ;) | 04:00 |
|---|
| littlebear | of course not | 04:01 |
|---|
| neskapow_ | hey whats up # | 04:01 |
|---|
| littlebear | arrrghhh: those are heavy space eaters lol | 04:01 |
|---|
| A-Non | Nothing in the Xorg.0.log jumps out at me aside from a missing "libwfb.so", could that cause title bars and window borders to disappear while running compiz? | 04:01 |
|---|
| littlebear | ooo by it self is something like 300 mb i recall | 04:01 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | mnaines, woah i didn't realize i was jumping into a case for using a flash drive to run ubuntu off of. | 04:01 |
|---|
| uRock | Benny_132, man grep look at the -n | 04:01 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | littlebear, that's my point. ubuntu-desktop comes with A LOT and needs room to breathe. | 04:01 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | you could run ubuntu off a flash key for a server OS with hdd's for storage, but i've heard of ppl running into issues long-term. | 04:02 |
|---|
| littlebear | arrrghhh: yeah, i was stupid enough to think 10 gb was enough, now i only have 2 gb left | 04:02 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | ha, ouch. | 04:02 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: might be, I just located it on my sys, it's : /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so | 04:02 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | littlebear, i think it recommends 20gb...? | 04:02 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | littlebear: install lubuntu, its a very small ubuntu based system, vying for official status too | 04:03 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | littlebear, correction, 15gb. | 04:03 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: looks like a missing module of xorg in first glance | 04:03 |
|---|
| rodolfo | sorry for the problems, im on my cousin laptop | 04:03 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | littlebear: or you could use puppy or damnsmall to make the system super faster | 04:03 |
|---|
| littlebear | actionparsnip: yeah, busy with life | 04:03 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: ok what is the URL it gave? | 04:03 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: How would I fix that? | 04:03 |
|---|
| mnaines | arrrghhh, do you run Ubuntu entirely on a flash drive? | 04:03 |
|---|
| littlebear | actionparsnip: that's ram though | 04:03 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | mnaines, no. | 04:03 |
|---|
| rodolfo | but what i do next?? | 04:03 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | littlebear: plus lighter in cpu too as well as smaller in HDD usage | 04:04 |
|---|
| littlebear | actionparsnip: unless you have your hdd entirely made up of ram, you're speed isn't going anywhere | 04:04 |
|---|
| KE1HA | [ZoD]Phantom, Look at Post #19 on the link I sent you, this may be the smoking-gun for your issue. | 04:04 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | mnaines, but i know guys that run ubuntu-server on a usb key. | 04:04 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: tell us what the URL is that pastebinit produced. | 04:04 |
|---|
| mnaines | arrrghhh, I tried it once...Painfully slow and no room for any of my files, but I could use it on any machine that could boot from USB | 04:04 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: try to backup xorg.conf, reconfigure the server, run a full update/grade, and set up xorg back, case lack of functionality | 04:04 |
|---|
| rodolfo | it gave me this | 04:04 |
|---|
| littlebear | mnaines: the puppylinux works great from usb, though corruption after awhile | 04:04 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | and i run the liveusb key edition or whatever, but i don't use it frequently. just when i need it. most guys get flash cards on the mobo - much faster bus that way. | 04:04 |
|---|
| === brendan__ is now known as BLW |
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: yes? Gave which URL? | 04:05 |
|---|
| mnaines | arrrghhh, yes, but my intent is portability, being able to use my full-featured copy of Ubuntu on almost any newer machine I come to | 04:05 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: need the commands for tthat ? | 04:05 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: I know how to back up xorg.conf but I don't know what you mean by the rest of those steps, could you explain that in detail? | 04:05 |
|---|
| rodolfo | Distributor ID:Jolicloud Description:Jolicloud robby (Final Release) Release:1.0 Codename:robby | 04:05 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: Yeah the commands would be helpful | 04:05 |
|---|
| rodolfo | what does it mean? | 04:06 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup | 04:06 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: actionparsnip oh rodolfo's got Jolicloud! | 04:06 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | mnaines, yea you can do that. but like you said it's slow... i do the same thing, but again slow. if the machine has a TON of ram it does make a difference tho. | 04:06 |
|---|
| rodolfo | whats that? | 04:06 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: Alright, then what? | 04:07 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | nUboon2Age: its not supported here then | 04:07 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade (maybe note it and run it from init 1, as with x in use, things might be kept back) | 04:07 |
|---|
| mnaines | arrrghhh, yes. As you said, its more useful on servers, and at this time, flash memory is not fast enough to use it for anything more than portable server operating systems | 04:07 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: actionparsnip: Jolicloud is based on Ubuntu, but is a derivative of Ubuntu. Let's see where to get support for it... | 04:07 |
|---|
| rodolfo | ok | 04:07 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | wait, rodolfo isn't running ubuntu? | 04:07 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | nUboon2Age: true but many are based on ubuntu but still equally unsupported here | 04:07 |
|---|
| [ZoD]Phantom | KE1HA ty, well im going to save the documents and reinstall using 10.04 | 04:08 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | rodolfo, mind if i ask why you even came into this room then? | 04:08 |
|---|
| KE1HA | [ZoD]Phantom, Oh, Ok, well you can get your docs off easily, then jsut start over, but there's a problem with 9.04 & 9.10 with both fstab and sudo-user auth files. | 04:09 |
|---|
| [ZoD]Phantom | KE1HA ty! | 04:09 |
|---|
| rodolfo | my uncle told me to ask here | 04:09 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 04:09 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | rodolfo: the official channel for ubuntu is only for support for oficially released ubuntu from canonicals, not its spin offs | 04:09 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: actionparsnip: yes i understand. I'll try and point rodolfo in the right support direction... | 04:09 |
|---|
| [ZoD]Phantom | KE1HA good night and to all. | 04:09 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | rodolfo: hopefully nUboon2Age can steer you | 04:09 |
|---|
| KE1HA | [ZoD]Phantom, After researin and listeing to your feedback, I suspect your /etcsusoers file is missing or currut, which is the liekly reason for the issue if it's not the fstab. | 04:10 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | rodolfo: if you install the netbook edition which looks pretty much the same you will be supported here | 04:10 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg didn't seem to do anything, is that normal? | 04:10 |
|---|
| KE1HA | A-Non, no that's not normal. | 04:11 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: sudo service gdm restart (will LOG you OFF!), the last two commands might be run after doing an sudo init 1, which will bring you to single user mode ( and also drops you off the desk,, the cmd did, even with no feedback | 04:11 |
|---|
| rodolfo | ok | 04:11 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: it looks like its Karmic based (i'm guessing). Here's the web site: http://www.jolicloud.com/support | 04:11 |
|---|
| Snake_Eater | E ai algum braisileiro aki | 04:11 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: i'm looking over there for support resources... | 04:11 |
|---|
| Snake_Eater | ? | 04:11 |
|---|
| rww | ubottu: br | Snake_Eater | 04:11 |
|---|
| ubottu | Snake_Eater: Entre em #ubuntu-br usando /join #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 04:11 |
|---|
| DasEi | !br | Snake_Eater | 04:11 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: okay I'll need to load up IRC on the other machine before I do that | 04:11 |
|---|
| rodolfo | ok | 04:12 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: IF YOU FEEL SAFER THAT WAY, SURE | 04:12 |
|---|
| DasEi | caps, ups | 04:12 |
|---|
| rublind | gentlemen (a bold assumption, I know). I'm seeking some assistance. Whenever I leave my eth0 to dhcp, I can't ssh to this machine. If I set it to a static IP it works. Does anyone have any idea of things I could try? | 04:13 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: I found they have an irc channel at #jolicloud . Also | 04:13 |
|---|
| rublind | leave=set* | 04:13 |
|---|
| maco | rublind: a not-100%-correct one too! | 04:14 |
|---|
| rublind | o.O? | 04:14 |
|---|
| rodolfo | ok tnx | 04:14 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: more community resources listed at http://www.jolicloud.com/community | 04:14 |
|---|
| * maco swishes skirt | 04:14 |
| rublind | also, my monitor cuts off the first few letters (I hate this thing), so I don't really know who to reply to. sorry. :x | 04:14 |
|---|
| rublind | __co: I took a risk. =p | 04:15 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: sudo init 1, then dpkg from gui-choice (same as update/grade) then reconfigure from netroot or root, exit back to init 1 gui, resume boot, start gdm manually | 04:15 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: i'm glad we checked and figured out what we're working with so you can get help from folks who are familar with Jolicloud, Robby edition. We could have knocked that one around a long time without being able to make progress. | 04:15 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: I'm going to switch IRC to the other machine, be right back | 04:16 |
|---|
| rodolfo | ok thanks | 04:16 |
|---|
| DasEi | y | 04:16 |
|---|
| nUboon2Age | rodolfo: I've heard good things about Jolicloud so hopefully you'll be able to get your ipod working quickly. | 04:17 |
|---|
| rublind | second question: does anyone know how to make 2wire routers not suck? | 04:17 |
|---|
| FirstgearOne | which is faster kde or gnome? | 04:17 |
|---|
| Sedated | rublind, i suggest a large heavy hammer | 04:17 |
|---|
| stanley_robertso | hi all | 04:17 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | rodolfo, slap your uncle for me :D | 04:17 |
|---|
| rublind | agreed. but I don't think AT&T will appreciate that. | 04:17 |
|---|
| KE1HA | rublind, yeah, replace it with Cisco Routers :-) | 04:17 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: I was running IRC on the machine I was trying to fix before, so this will be easier | 04:17 |
|---|
| rublind | do you know if the cisco routers are compatible with AT&T's garbage service? | 04:18 |
|---|
| mnaines | Does anyone know of a program for Linux that takes all your settings, custom themes, files and programs, and whatever else and turn it into an ISO so you can reinstall or move to another machine without losing any data? | 04:18 |
|---|
| KE1HA | rublind, yes. | 04:18 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: sudo init 1, then dpkg from gui-choice (same as update/grade) then reconfigure from netroot or root, exit back to init 1 gui, resume boot, start gdm manually | 04:18 |
|---|
| rodolfo | yes XD tnx for your help | 04:18 |
|---|
| rublind | I need to look into this then... thank you. would you happen to know a model number by any chance? | 04:18 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | mnaines: backup the hidden files in $HOME, you can restore them later to restore settings | 04:18 |
|---|
| KE1HA | rublind, our main fibre channel was on an AT&T link, was pretty stable for acess. | 04:19 |
|---|
| KE1HA | rublind, Which Cisco Routers ? | 04:19 |
|---|
| rublind | the service isn't that bad (usually, it did go down for no reason once or twice), but I hate this 2wire thing they give me. makes me want to stab myself. | 04:19 |
|---|
| mnaines | actionparsnip, I mean like, when someone customizes Ubuntu to their liking then wants to get a new machine but does not want to have to reinstall everything to get their customizations back, is there something that can compile their custom Ubuntu setup into an ISO? | 04:20 |
|---|
| econdudeawesome | AAH! I meant to delete a partition and created a new partition table. It said that it will be implemented on reboot. Can I fix it? | 04:20 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: Just did init 1 now | 04:20 |
|---|
| rublind | yeah, if you knew off the top of your head. would save me some googling, but no worries either way. :) | 04:20 |
|---|
| KE1HA | rublind, sri mate, but 2wire is garbage if you need real performace. | 04:20 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: get a small gui.. > dpkg... | 04:20 |
|---|
| Sedated | rublind, the 2wire routers i have here in .au have an advanced management page you can get it by browsing to http://<ip>/mdc | 04:20 |
|---|
| KE1HA | rublind, one moment, need ot SSH to my Workstation. | 04:20 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: I get an Ubuntu splash screen with the little dots | 04:20 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | mnaines: yep, that'll do it. You can burn them to a CD or USB stick etc for storage. Don't get tied up with ISO files | 04:20 |
|---|
| rodolfo | i have a problem with jolicloud IRC | 04:20 |
|---|
| rublind | II've tried the mdc things before, but still not the level of control I want... | 04:21 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: might take a second | 04:21 |
|---|
| rodolfo | no one answers | 04:21 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: I think it's frozen, the dots aren't moving anymore :( | 04:21 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | rodolfo: then ask in #freenode | 04:21 |
|---|
| tpad | should i buy an nvidia or ati gpu if i plan on running ubuntu? | 04:21 |
|---|
| econdudeawesome | So if I use gparted to create a new partition table for a currently mounted drive, is there any way to fix that??? | 04:21 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: give it a little. else ctrl-alt-delete, when grub is loading, press left shift | 04:21 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | tpad: nvidia | 04:22 |
|---|
| econdudeawesome | as in, restore the partition table of the drive, or will it be wiped on the next reboot? | 04:22 |
|---|
| tpad | should i buy an nvidia or ati gpu if i plan on running ubuntu? | 04:22 |
|---|
| rodolfo | ok thanks | 04:22 |
|---|
| tensorpudding | nvidia has good binary blob drivers | 04:22 |
|---|
| tpad | actionparsnip: would ati work? someone told me there isnt very good support for ati.. | 04:22 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | rodolfo, is there any reason you can't run ubuntu? | 04:22 |
|---|
| tensorpudding | ati has a free driver, but i don't know what the state of it is | 04:22 |
|---|
| tpad | im looking at the ati radeon hd 5650 | 04:22 |
|---|
| DasEi | econdudeawesome: very bad idea, and gparted wouldn't even allow on a mounted drive | 04:22 |
|---|
| KE1HA | rublind, border routers were 3800's | 04:22 |
|---|
| rublind | cool, thank you for checking. :) | 04:23 |

| actionparsnip | tpad: sure, you can check the ati site for compatible devices, nvidia have supported linux waaay longer than ati | 04:23 |
|---|
| econdudeawesome | DasEi now when I reopen gparted it doesn't bring up the drive | 04:23 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: I rebooted tapping left shift pretty much constantly and it just got me to the GDM screen | 04:23 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: got the grub menue ? | 04:23 |
|---|
| econdudeawesome | DasEi it was mounted into three partitions and I was trying to delete the middle one... and thought I needed a new partition table. What can I do?? | 04:24 |
|---|
| tpad | actionparsnip: i know.. and i know ati has drivers.. im just wondering if anyone has experience with the stability of them. | 04:24 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | A-Non, if you are using Grub2 then just hold shift down while booting to get the menu (don't tap) | 04:24 |
|---|
| KE1HA | rublind, local routers were 2600's with a few 7100 fer the main WAN stuff. | 04:24 |
|---|
| econdudeawesome | DasEi not mounted: divided. Two are currently mounteded | 04:24 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: I don't think so, I saw no menus until GDM | 04:24 |
|---|
| A-Non | ZykoticK9: Alright I'll try holding it down then | 04:24 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | tpad: i only buy nvidia due to support, millions will agree, millions will disagree | 04:24 |
|---|
| rublind | cool, cool. time to go shopping I guess. =p | 04:24 |
|---|
| KE1HA | rublind, 2600's are Solid bargins, 3800's are over the top even for most small to medium companys. | 04:24 |
|---|
| maco | tpad: i last used ati 2 years ago and at the time i could get dual screen at high res on 32bit working fine, but on 64bit. i imagine progress has been made, particularly since they opened up all their specs | 04:24 |
|---|
| maco | tpad: er, but not on 64bit | 04:25 |
|---|
| DasEi | econdudeawesome: oo, you set a new partitable on a drive where you still would have needed the other two partis ? | 04:25 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | tpad, if you want 3d on linux (or other open source OSs) i would go nivida myself | 04:25 |
|---|
| rublind | 2600's it is then. :) | 04:25 |
|---|
| tpad | well damn. | 04:25 |
|---|
| tpad | see im looking at the envy 14.. and i cant get nvidia in it. | 04:25 |
|---|
| tpad | but i realllly want this laptop. :) | 04:25 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: Okay now I've got "GNU GRUB version 1.98-1ubuntu7" menu | 04:25 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: it's lucid ? | 04:25 |
|---|
| rublind | okay, I need to go futz with my router/networking setup for a bit to figure this out. I'll be back later. Thanks for all the info. :) | 04:25 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: Yeah, lucid | 04:25 |
|---|
| maco | tpad: can i sugget a couple companies that make linux laptops? | 04:25 |
|---|
| DasEi | fine > 2nd kernel, recovery-mode | 04:25 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: ^ | 04:26 |
|---|
| coz_ | tpad, which intel chipsets for video do they hav? | 04:26 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | tpad, if your shopping for a laptop then nvidia usually costs about 2x as much :| You get what you pay for though. | 04:26 |
|---|
| KE1HA | rublind, look for certified Used 2600's, with the fibre module options, lots of ggod deals around. We're way off-topic, so back to Ubuntu Support. | 04:26 |
|---|
| tensorpudding | if you're getting a laptop, go for intel | 04:26 |
|---|
| A-Non | Dasei: running recovery-mode... | 04:26 |
|---|
| tensorpudding | graphics, that is | 04:26 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | tpad, i agree with tensorpudding intel over ati. | 04:26 |
|---|
| maco | tpad: http://zareason.com and http://system76.com both make fully linux compatible laptops. i have two laptops from za | 04:26 |
|---|
| tpad | tensorpudding: lol now thats incorrect. | 04:26 |
|---|
| econdudeawesome | DasEi yes, that was the plan. But I wasn't thinking and made a new partition table for the whole drive. The computer seems to be working find, but I got the following in the terminal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/470510/ | 04:27 |
|---|
| DasEi | econdudeawesome: so, what you need is another sys, and then use testdisk to recover it, that'll be a bit of a hassle then | 04:27 |
|---|
| tpad | nvidia may have better support.. but ati is def better than intel. | 04:27 |
|---|
| maco | tensorpudding: actually... intel has the best support of all | 04:27 |
|---|
| tensorpudding | Intel's free drivers work great. | 04:27 |
|---|
| maco | tensorpudding: fully open drivers, and yeah, it does work for 3d actually... its long been the easiest way to get 3d on linux | 04:27 |
|---|
| maco | tensorpudding: erk not you sorry | 04:27 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | maco, if "best support" = "Open source" then yes ;) | 04:27 |
|---|
| econdudeawesome | DasEi that actually won't be a problem to boot up another system on the same rig, coincidentally enough. But can I do it before I shut the computer down with gpart? | 04:27 |
|---|
| maco | tpad: what i just said to tensorpudding was for you | 04:27 |
|---|
| tonsofpcs | so I just tried burning a cd with k3b, k3b hung with 0% and was successfully killed, wodim is still stuck running and the drive is spinning. Any ideas? | 04:27 |
|---|
| tpad | they may work good. but i am also going for performance. i will be running windows 7 dual boot for gaming as well. | 04:28 |
|---|
| maco | ZykoticK9: thats what i meant yeah. | 04:28 |
|---|
| DasEi | econdudeawesome: wellwell, I told you gparted won't do, if anything is mounted there.. gparteed still open ? | 04:28 |
|---|
| tensorpudding | If you're going for gaming it's different. | 04:28 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: dpgk.... | 04:28 |
|---|
| maco | ZykoticK9: but like... out of the box, you have 3d. none of this fussing around with extra drivers then finding out it breaks on plymouth crap | 04:28 |
|---|
| tpad | tensorpudding: i am going for gaming as well. | 04:29 |
|---|
| econdudeawesome | DasEi not gparted, gpart | 04:29 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | maco: the plymouth thing is easy to workaround with fb driver but OOTB yes | 04:29 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: the recovery-mode thing seems to hang at "Setting sensors limits, Skip stopping firewall: ufw (not enabled)" | 04:29 |
|---|
| econdudeawesome | DasEi I've closed it and opened it--same options are availabel taht were there immediately following my stupid stupid action | 04:29 |
|---|
| DasEi | econdudeawesome: hm , I don't what command you issued actually, so first a reboot and then see what really happened will be way to go then | 04:29 |
|---|
| KE1HA | tensorpudding, Browse the Ubuntu Certified Hardware lists for hardware before purchase, saved on allot of frustration. | 04:30 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: hmm.. should run through to a simple gui | 04:30 |
|---|
| econdudeawesome | I was running gparted, and used the "create new partition table" on the drive... | 04:30 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: try to ctrl-c, if it won't move on | 04:30 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: This machine never does what it should D: ... Ctrl+C seems to have no effect | 04:31 |
|---|
| courtni | can anyone tell me( in the most undestandable nderstandable terms please) how to run/ get the "desktop-switcher" | 04:31 |
|---|
| VS- | arrrghhh, alternate cd works, thanks a lot :D | 04:31 |
|---|
| DasEi | econdudeawesome: which, if any of the partis was mounted, shouldn't be possible, again: gparted-gui or parted from terminal ? | 04:31 |
|---|
| econdudeawesome | DasEi gparted-gui | 04:31 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | VS-, np. | 04:32 |
|---|
| econdudeawesome | DasEi I invoke it from the terminal | 04:32 |
|---|
| DasEi | econdudeawesome: so you might be lucky, just reboot and check the disk again | 04:32 |
|---|
| econdudeawesome | DasEi fair enough I guess, I'll give it a shot. In the meantime I'm running gpart | 04:32 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: I rebooted and tried again and now it's got the simple GUI | 04:33 |
|---|
| econdudeawesome | seems straightforward enough: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2210436 | 04:33 |
|---|
| econdudeawesome | courtni what do you mean | 04:33 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: fine, so dpkgrepair... | 04:33 |
|---|
| raghavendran | hi | 04:33 |
|---|
| econdudeawesome | courtni are you switching between desktop windows, desktop session managers (GNOME, KDE), or login windows, or what? | 04:33 |

| raghavendran | how to embed kernal in cc | 04:33 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: What was the dpkgrepair command exactly? | 04:34 |
|---|
| KE1HA | raghavendran, in CC ?? | 04:34 |
|---|
| raghavendran | ya | 04:34 |
|---|
| econdudeawesome | c0ourtni are you there? | 04:35 |
|---|
| raghavendran | can any one tell me | 04:35 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: first we want to run the dpkg-choice from the small menue | 04:35 |
|---|
| raghavendran | to do a project | 04:35 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | raghavendran, and what is cc? | 04:35 |
|---|
| KE1HA | raghavendran, I dont know what you mean by "cc" | 04:35 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: Okay I did that, it finished | 04:35 |
|---|
| raghavendran | interested in foss | 04:35 |

| econdudeawesome | raghavendran ask your question in one line, be specific | 04:35 |

| courtni | econdudeawesome: on the latest version of ubuntu, the "desktop-switcher" was added back after being taken off in the previous version due to instabilaty, it is supposed to allow ubuntu netbook remix to look like the desktop versoin | 04:37 |
|---|
| === radar3d|DT is now known as radar3d|Zzz |
| A-Non | DasEi: Okay, I've got the terminal prompt now | 04:37 |

| DasEi | A-Non: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 04:37 |
|---|
| Flannel | raghavendran: Your question seems like it might be better suited for #ubuntu-offtopic | 04:37 |
|---|
| joren | hey, has anyone had experience with 10.04 booting sporadically? most of the time, there's just a blinking cursor, no grub or anything, but every once in a while it will boot | 04:37 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: will do no output | 04:37 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: service gdm stop | 04:37 |
|---|
| econdudeawesome | courtni I could never get that to work exactly right. I followed a script in the ubuntu forums to set up GNOME exactly like the Netbook Remix session | 04:37 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: service gdm start | 04:37 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | courtni, i'm under the impression that UNE is actually almost entirely locked down UI wise. Best of luck. (i don't think the switcher is an available feature - i could be wrong) | 04:38 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: I'm not supposed to get any output from dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg right? | 04:38 |

| tonsofpcs | is there a way to send an eof to an open stream? (I have wodim stuck waiting for data, spinning my cd drive -- 21:43:07 * tonsofpcs tries sfc | 04:38 |
|---|
| tonsofpcs | bah | 04:38 |
|---|
| econdudeawesome | courtni if you want to switch between desktop, you need to run with GNOME session instead of netboook remix or netbook remix 2d | 04:38 |
|---|
| tonsofpcs | is there a way to send an eof to an open stream? (I have wodim stuck waiting for data, spinning my cd drive -- usr/bin/wodim -v gracetime=2 dev=/dev/sr0 speed=48 -dao driveropts=burnfree -eject -data -tsize=318784s - ) | 04:38 |
|---|
| econdudeawesome | courtni you can do this at the log in window--when you click on your account the option the change sessions is at the bottom | 04:38 |
|---|
| econdudeawesome | courtni however, you could also use the GNOME session script and then just kill or reinvoke the programs you want to switch between--I think the primary one is called maximus | 04:39 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | econdudeawesome, i don't believe that is an option in UNE, in Gnome yes. | 04:39 |
|---|
| econdudeawesome | ZykoticK9 spot on. That's wht I was saying | 04:40 |
|---|
| courtni | econdudeawesome: thnx a LOT!c: I can manage that. | 04:40 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: service gdm start loaded GDM (obviously) so now I'm logged in, how do I make sure the missing file is there now? | 04:40 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | econdudeawesome, sorry it was just the way you broke your statement up there, i wasn't sure ;) | 04:40 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: cd /usr/lib/xorg/modules/ | 04:40 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: ls libwf* | 04:41 |

| A-Non | DasEi: It's there :) | 04:41 |
|---|
| Mr_Sonoma | anyone know a way to set ubuntu to give a shell login option from the log in screen? | 04:41 |
|---|
| econdudeawesome | DasEi--I'm off! Wish me luck! | 04:42 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: I assume it's an nvidia card then | 04:42 |
|---|
| DasEi | econdudeawesome: yupp | 04:42 |
|---|
| VS- | Only WEP is supported? | 04:42 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | Mr_Sonoma, that would be an option to exit from GDM and drop to console mode, that option doesn't exist. You can disable GDM if you want, but not as a selection in GDM. | 04:42 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: Nvidia FX 5500 | 04:43 |
|---|
| KE1HA | Mr_Sonoma, you mean drop to a terminal v.s. starting X ? | 04:43 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: ic, not the biggest, but enough for small compiz-effects | 04:43 |
|---|
| Izinucs | A-Non: DasEi you might have to use the newest binary driver that was just released that is compatible with X.org 1.8 .. | 04:44 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | Mr_Sonoma, if you're actually interested in disabling GDM you can see the two methods i know of at http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/notes/gdm | 04:44 |
|---|
| Mr_Sonoma | ZykoticK9, KE1HA yes, at the log in screen instead of logging into graphical have the option to go cli. hitting cntrl alt f1 just gives a blank screen unless i've already logged into the gui | 04:44 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: It gets the job done, and it's PCI, my mobo only has PCI slots, no AGP or PCI-E :( | 04:44 |
|---|
| KE1HA | Mr_Sonoma, Easiest way ot to log in normally, then do an Init-3 | 04:44 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: saw that ? and also you ran the nvidia-settings , nor ? | 04:44 |
|---|
| KE1HA | Mr_Sonoma, doing the init-3 will do a quick re-boot without stating X. | 04:45 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: I don't understand what you mean there | 04:45 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | !runlevels > KE1HA | 04:45 |
|---|
| ubottu | KE1HA, please see my private message | 04:45 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | KE1HA, are you sure about that init3 thing? | 04:45 |
|---|
| Mr_Sonoma | !runlevels | 04:46 |
|---|
| ubottu | In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 04:46 |
|---|
| KE1HA | I just got busted by Ubuttu :-) ... let me look at this a min :-) | 04:46 |
|---|
| Mr_Sonoma | blah, i had forgotten about the runlevels but that looks to have killed the idea i had forgotten about LOL | 04:47 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | Mr_Sonoma, KE1HA to stop GDM you can use the command "sudo service gdm stop" and you should be left with only console modes. | 04:48 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: Compiz still kills my title bars and window borders though :( | 04:48 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: is it 32 or 64 ? | 04:48 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | A-Non, that mean compiz is failing! | 04:48 |
|---|
| c1rcuit | so | 04:48 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: My system is 32bit | 04:48 |
|---|
| c1rcuit | i changed the name of my home directory | 04:48 |
|---|
| c1rcuit | and now its all failing | 04:48 |
|---|
| A-Non | ZykoticK9: How would I stop it from failling? | 04:49 |
|---|
| KE1HA | ZykoticK9, rr, yes, I know you can start / stop GDM, but I was certian I could do an INIT, but maybe Im crossing wires with another distro here. | 04:49 |
|---|
| c1rcuit | how do i reset it back to normal? | 04:49 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | c1rcuit: rename it back in root recovery mode | 04:49 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | A-Non, i don't know what the problem is. | 04:49 |
|---|
| c1rcuit | so say in the /home directory | 04:49 |
|---|
| c1rcuit | there was /c1rcuit | 04:49 |
|---|
| c1rcuit | and i changed it to lets say | 04:49 |
|---|
| c1rcuit | matt | 04:49 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | KE1HA, pretty much ANY other distro probably ;) | 04:49 |
|---|
| A-Non | ZykoticK9: By that do you mean, you wouldn't be able to figure out the problem, or that I need to give you more information? | 04:49 |
|---|
| c1rcuit | id just have to change matt back to c1rcuit? | 04:50 |
|---|
| Izinucs | c1rcuit: change it back to c1rcuit | 04:50 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: http://i8t.de/a9hg0ttb | 04:50 |
|---|
| KE1HA | Mr_Sonoma, Ok, in the interest of speed here, start / stop GDM is the best options at the moment. | 04:50 |
|---|
| c1rcuit | ok ill try | 04:50 |
|---|
| mr_4slk4 | can i ask a question | 04:50 |
|---|
| Izinucs | !ask | mr_4slk4 | 04:50 |
|---|
| ubottu | mr_4slk4: 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. :-) | 04:50 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: latest driver, d/l it | 04:50 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | A-Non, i have no idea what your issue is, but unless you are using nvidia i can't really be much help | 04:50 |
|---|
| Mr_Sonoma | ZykoticK9, thats a thought, and thanks for the link. let me think about how i wanna do this. I don't always want graphical i spend a lot of time on command line doing my stuff. Woulda been nice to have a way to add the option at the bottom of the log in screen where you can select recovery or what ever | 04:50 |
|---|
| mr_4slk4 | i'm a newbie in irc | 04:50 |
|---|
| A-Non | ZykoticK9: I am using nvidia | 04:50 |
|---|
| mr_4slk4 | what is script | 04:50 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: Okay | 04:50 |
|---|
| Izinucs | DasEi: A-Non the right driver may be the 96.xx driver not the 195.xx | 04:51 |
|---|
| cntrational | when will you guys stop calling "ctrl" "cntrl" | 04:51 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | A-Non, use whatever driver is "Recommended" in hardware drivers would be my recommendation. | 04:51 |
|---|
| Izinucs | cntrational: tomato - tomato :) | 04:51 |
|---|
| DasEi | Izinucs: I just see that, that's xorg 1.7 | 04:51 |
|---|
| cntrational | Izinucs: hilights | 04:51 |
|---|
| A-Non | KykoticK9, Izinucs, DasEi, which driver then?? :P | 04:52 |
|---|
| Izinucs | DasEi: what's 10.04 running 1.7 or 1.8? I think Maverick is 1.8 | 04:52 |
|---|
| * Mr_Sonoma points out that it used to be cntrl on the old keyboards back in the day | 04:52 |
| cntrational | we aren't that old | 04:52 |
|---|
| Random832 | Izinucs: back in what day? | 04:52 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | A-Non, you also might want to move your current xorg and let nvidia generate a new one. Move with "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.orig" then "sudo nvidia-xconfig" to generate a new one. Just a suggestion. | 04:52 |
|---|
| Izinucs | A-Non: looking | 04:52 |
|---|
| Random832 | i'm pretty sure it went straight from "Control" to "Ctrl" | 04:52 |
|---|
| KE1HA | ZykoticK9, You are indeed correct, Run-Levels, 3 to 5 are the same for Debian system, 2 is a single level user mode, similar to WIndows safemode.: http://www.debianadmin.com/debian-and-ubuntu-linux-run-levels.html | 04:53 |
|---|
| Mr_Sonoma | thanks fellas | 04:53 |
|---|
| abhijit | can i use yasm to program (virtual) 8086? | 04:53 |
|---|
| A-Non | ZykoticK9: I'll give that a go, see what happens | 04:53 |
|---|
| maco | KE1HA: youre wrong | 04:53 |
|---|
| cntrational | Random832: well it's cntrl if you remove only the vowels | 04:53 |
|---|
| maco | KE1HA: 2-5 are the same. 1 is single user | 04:53 |
|---|
| DasEi | Izinucs: Version: 1:7.5+5ubuntu1, so not as 1.8 as said above, for lucid | 04:53 |
|---|
| Random832 | which isn't really the answer to the question | 04:53 |
|---|
| maco | KE1HA: the default runlevel in ubuntu (and i think debian as well) is 2 | 04:53 |
|---|
| KE1HA | maco, was quoting from Debian Admin, so if it's wrong, I too and mistaken. | 04:53 |
|---|
| Random832 | actually. the XT had "Ctrl", the VT100 had "Ctrl" | 04:54 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | KE1HA, i'd trust maco if i where you ;) | 04:54 |
|---|
| Datz | Hi, could someone guide me to a page that explains requirements for repo packages, and how to submit such things. | 04:54 |
|---|
| maco | KE1HA: check it out. type "runlevel" in a shell. you should be on 2 | 04:54 |
|---|
| Random832 | it's pretty well established, from pretty early on - i know some old mac keyboards had "control" | 04:54 |
|---|
| actionparsnip | abhijit: sure, its opensource | 04:54 |
|---|

| KwikkSilva | Yes - actually have been thru that part - but i' mleft with a lingering problem that the server which now has access to the network is inacessible | 05:03 |
|---|
| DasEi | lzinucs: takes them out of x, just the drivers being still on won't harm , got to restart x (which goes by cmdline for the binary itself) | 05:03 |
|---|
| Izinucs | DasEi: I've had a horrible time installing the binary on 10.04 but from 6.06 through 9.1 it was pretty simple.. maybe something to do with the new opensource driver being the default. | 05:03 |

| bthornton | Hey, just did an 'apt-get update' on my Lucid install (which I do regularly) and noticed that version number changed (10.04 --> 10.04.1). Just curious: what specific update constitutes the .1 version change? | 05:04 |

| ZykoticK9 | What's up with the version number? "lsb_release -d" in terminal is showing "Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS" currently. But according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MaverickReleaseSchedule 10.04.1 is suppose to be released on August 12th? bthornton | 05:07 |

| KwikkSilva | So - i bridged my Solaris Server onto the Internet using my Dell Server, but the Solaris server got an ip of 10.42.43.10 via DHCP from the Dell Server (i think), whilst the rest of the network is on 192.168.1.0 | 05:13 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: Yeah I figured there was a typo there, it's installed now | 05:13 |
|---|
| mikeru | I'm just trying to get info about two computers | 05:13 |
|---|
| mikeru | SysInfo is not that helpful though | 05:13 |
|---|
| KwikkSilva | So now no one else can ping the Solaris server - which is 'behind' the Dell, on anogther network | 05:13 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: http://pastebin.com/0ncgMxAL | 05:13 |
|---|
| KwikkSilva | I'm trying to find out can i make the Saolaris server accessible somehow | 05:14 |
|---|
| DasEi | mikeru: I know cpuz, but that info will be collected from different corners, as a stresstest there is cpubutn (no parameters there, though) | 05:14 |
|---|
| FreshPrince | ZykoticK9, so what u think? should i get the 64-bit iso or not?, thats a joke, why it wouldn't be a good idea to use 64-bit for daily usage? | 05:14 |
|---|
| DasEi | mikeru: ah, try gnome-device-manager | 05:14 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: and your current hardwaredrivers also sho same version as the download being in use ? | 05:15 |
|---|
| mikeru | DasEi: what I want to know is about motherboard memory - e.g. CPU-Z tells me its DDR 512MB Single channel frequency etc, while stupid SysInfo tells me Total: 1001 Swap total and thats all | 05:15 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | FreshPrince, i use 64bit for my desktop. i don't use 64bit on my htpc though, there are some emulators that are still 32bit only. basically it's possible to use 64bit as well, or better then 32bit BUT it's more difficult to setup, thus "not recommended" or so the argument goes. | 05:15 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: I think so yeah. | 05:15 |
|---|
| maco | FreshPrince: it says that mostly just to warn off people who dont know what 64bit is, because you can install 32bit on a 32 or 64 bit computer but not vice versa | 05:16 |
|---|
| DasEi | mikeru: free | 05:16 |
|---|
| maco | FreshPrince: other than that... proprietary software can be slightly more annoying on 64bit, but theres 64bit java now, and skype and flash both work, so... | 05:16 |
|---|
| mikeru | DasEi: I don't want to know how much memory I have. I want to know which type of memory it is. | 05:17 |
|---|
| mikeru | WHICH TYPE | 05:17 |
|---|
| maco | FreshPrince: ive used 64bit as my daily for 2 years now | 05:17 |
|---|
| mikeru | not how much I have | 05:17 |
|---|
| DasEi | mikeru: and under /proc you can find detailed infos | 05:17 |
|---|
| mikeru | ah! | 05:17 |
|---|
| FloodBot3 | mikeru: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:17 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | FreshPrince, for 32bit libraries on 64bit Ubuntu check out the script getlibs it almost essential for 32bit compatibility | 05:17 |
|---|
| DanaG | hmm, anyone know how to get gnome's display-properties thing to acknowledge the presence of 3 monitors (instead of just two)? | 05:17 |
|---|
| mikeru | DasEi: that's exactly what I wanted to know. but is there not any tool for it? | 05:17 |
|---|
| DasEi | mikeru : also hwinfo --vv | 05:17 |
|---|
| mikeru | I mean, raw proc is ugly | 05:17 |
|---|
| DasEi | mikeru: as said, different corners | 05:18 |
|---|
| mikeru | DasEi: I think hwinfo will be enough. thanks | 05:18 |
|---|
| DanaG | This is on a card that CAN do 3 monitors. | 05:19 |
|---|
| mikeru | DasEi: nevermind, hwinfo will not help. | 05:19 |
|---|
| FreshPrince | maco, ZykoticK9 , well i think, if u have a 64-bit computer, then u should use ubuntu 64-bit and not the 32-bit | 05:20 |
|---|
| FreshPrince | a bit flash problems etc thats solved | 05:20 |
|---|
| FreshPrince | so why not to use it :> | 05:20 |
|---|
| DanaG | Flash is not solved for me! | 05:20 |
|---|
| DanaG | I can't click on anything in Flash. Adobe fail. | 05:20 |

| FreshPrince | not for u | 05:20 |
|---|
| FreshPrince | but for most other users in here | 05:20 |
|---|
| FreshPrince | :D | 05:20 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | FreshPrince, i agree - but honestly, if you have less then 4G of memory you're probably best not to bother (unless you're planning on upgrading later ;) | 05:20 |
|---|
| DanaG | 64-bit does make some number-crunching faster, even given 2 gigs -- more registers to use. | 05:21 |
|---|
| FreshPrince | ZykoticK9, i have only 1gb memory, and i think i'm not going to upgrade for the next 5 years :D | 05:21 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | DanaG, you can see if this applies/helps http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/clicking-in-flash-not-working good luck | 05:21 |

| Stupendoussteve | I would not use 64 bit with 1gb, 64 bit apps tend to use more memory | 05:21 |
|---|
| FreshPrince | Stupendoussteve, thats true | 05:22 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: Did you look at that pastebin link? | 05:22 |
|---|
| FreshPrince | hm ok | 05:22 |
|---|
| FreshPrince | then i'm gonna dowenload the 32-bit | 05:22 |
|---|
| FreshPrince | *download | 05:22 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | FreshPrince, it might speed up a couple of things (like encoding) but it's probably not worth the extra effort with only 1GB, 64bit requires more memory to run the same app as 32bit does! | 05:22 |

| DanaG | ah yeah, forgot that bit. | 05:22 |
|---|
| === root is now known as Guest82193 |
| FreshPrince | ZykoticK9, ok | 05:22 |
|---|
| DanaG | The only "more memory" would come from pointers being 64-bit instead of 32-bit. | 05:23 |
|---|
| FreshPrince | the reason why i'm back to ubuntu is because i dont want to configure my whole system always on other distros :> | 05:23 |

| A-Non | DasEi: So driver 173 is as high as it goes for the FX 5500 then? | 05:26 |
|---|
| maco | FreshPrince: ive found memory consumption on 64bit to be quite a bit higher than on 32bit. it sorta forced me to upgrade from 2gb to 4 | 05:27 |
|---|
| DasEi | A-Non: as far as I can see yes, next in apt is 185, that' wont do no more | 05:27 |

| Mr_Sonoma | KE1HA, yes. sorta. i've got your work around and that'll work and that'll work for me. but it wasn't really what i was hoping for kinda thing. | 05:27 |

| KE1HA | Mr_Sonoma, not sure. I dont do allot of desktop work, most of my installs are without X, so I use the basics on desktops, and that's about it. | 05:31 |
|---|
| mikeru | ehyyyy | 05:31 |
|---|
| mikeru | hey | 05:31 |
|---|
| FreshPrince | ZykoticK9, ubuntu runs i386? would that run slower then my archlinux which is i686? | 05:31 |
|---|
| mikeru | is DIMM SDRAM the same as DDR? | 05:32 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | FreshPrince, the i386 is a lie! it's i686 really. | 05:32 |

| mikeru | then | 05:32 |
|---|
| Mr_Sonoma | KE1HA, i've got a few that have no x but this want was for my home desktop and there i use the GUI 50% of the time. I'm gonna keep googling i can't be the only one that wants that option at log in | 05:32 |
|---|
| DasEi | a-non: I'm getting tired (it's 6.30 am here), go back to hardwaredrivers, disable current one(s), back to this cmd-line, stop gdm, then on the d/l : sudo sh nvidiaBlah.run | 05:32 |
|---|
| BentFrank | Does "gateway 192.168.1.1" go in /etc/network/interfaces under eth0 (typically for home net)? | 05:32 |
|---|
| mikeru | I think it is DDR | 05:32 |
|---|
| FreshPrince | ZykoticK9, a lie? i'm downlaoding ubuntu.10.04-i386.iso :p | 05:32 |
|---|
| mikeru | but it only says DIMM SDRAM | 05:33 |

| Drewseph | Hello. Don't know if anyone in here would be able to help me with this one or not as its to do with XAMPP, but maybe someone knows xD. As stated, I am running XAMPP to host a web server off my Ubuntu box. Everything is running great, except for the fact that no matter what I do, port 80 cannot seem to be accessed. Forwarded, listen is set to 80, ISP does not block it. Anyone know anything about that? Sorry if I shouldn't of asked that her | 05:33 |
|---|
| A-Non | DasEi: That is pretty late/early... I'll run that | 05:33 |
|---|
| FreshPrince | maco, i have 1gb memory about 8 years now on my machine.. and i think i'm not going to upgrade for the next 5 years :D | 05:33 |
|---|
| DasEi | a-non: then again nvidia-settings as root, then start gdm again | 05:33 |
|---|
| KE1HA | Mr_Sonoma, Would ne a nice feature fer sure. | 05:33 |
|---|
| mikeru | tensorpudding: I'm noobish noobish in that stuff. what are the notches :P ? | 05:33 |
|---|
| mikeru | ah | 05:33 |
|---|
| FreshPrince | maco, to lazy :p | 05:33 |
|---|
| maco | FreshPrince: yeah i dont think you want the bigger pointers that 64bit involves then | 05:33 |
|---|
| mikeru | tensorpudding: you mean, the separations? | 05:33 |
|---|
| FreshPrince | maco, nope :> | 05:34 |
|---|
| tensorpudding | mikeru: in the interface where the pins are, there should be some separations, yeah | 05:34 |
|---|
| mikeru | tensorpudding: Oh. and DDR is how many notches? | 05:34 |
|---|
| IdleOne | mikeru: How is different types of RAM Ubuntu related? | 05:34 |
|---|
| Guest82193 | Mr_Sonoma,I am not np | 05:35 |
|---|
| mikeru | IdleOne: well, I'm trying to change two computers RAM for moar ram in ubuntu | 05:35 |
|---|
| FreshPrince | ZykoticK9, check your "uname -a" did u see i686 there? | 05:35 |
|---|
| DasEi | mikeru: more #hardware , ddr is one , sd-ram has two nothes | 05:36 |
|---|
| IdleOne | mikeru: still has nothing to do with Ubuntu support | 05:36 |
|---|
| DasEi | ches* | 05:36 |
|---|
| Sedated | mikeru, ddr is 1 notch, sdram is 2 notches | 05:36 |
|---|
| mikeru | w.e. | 05:36 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | FreshPrince, no because i'm running 64 so i see x86_64 | 05:36 |
|---|
| mikeru | @Sedated @DasEi @tensorpudding thank you. | 05:36 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | FreshPrince, pretty sure it will show up as x86 which will actually be i686, i386 is totally outdated at this point! | 05:37 |
|---|
| mikeru | @IdleOne: oh, but I'm asking how to know by software and apparently there's no way, at least in ubuntu | 05:37 |
|---|
| mikeru | so | 05:37 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | mikeru, FYI i've tried to find the type of memory info previously... and failed. I was hoping someone was going to have an answer for ya. | 05:38 |
|---|
| mikeru | IdleOne: scroll back up, and see that I was trying to see which type of RAM it was from ubuntu | 05:38 |

| maco | mikeru: sudo lshw -c memory | 05:39 |
|---|
| maco | mikeru: thats not enough detail? | 05:39 |
|---|
| mikeru | hmm... lshw-gtk does say SODIMM DDR2for my mac | 05:39 |
|---|
| mikeru | maco: it says DIMM SDRAM, which apparently is not DDr | 05:39 |
|---|
| DasEi | mikeru: so you got it then, ask on in #hardware | 05:40 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | maco, you da man! (yes i see the irony ;) | 05:40 |
|---|
| maco | mikeru: mine gets as specific as: description: SODIMM DDR2 Synchronous 667 MHz (1.5 ns) | 05:40 |
|---|
| FreshPrince | ZykoticK9, ok :), u know i like my current distro, but its terrible if nothing works correctly and u have to manually config all the things, and i didnt have the time to do that | 05:40 |

| mib_mib | hi can someone help me debug a cron job problem? I have a current job that i am just testing, added line * * * * * /usr/bin/ruby /path/to/myjob.rb -- but it doens't seem to run, what am i doing wrong? | 05:40 |
|---|
| mikeru | maco: description: SODIMM DDR2 Synchronous 800 MHz (1.2 ns) | 05:40 |
|---|
| mikeru | but that's my mac, the PC (quite ironically considering support for macs) says not much. | 05:41 |
|---|
| maco | macs arent pcs? news to me | 05:41 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | FreshPrince, sorry man chatting about this is really offtopic for this channel. but i certainly agree with your statment. | 05:41 |
|---|
| john38 | can you hook up SATA and SATA 3.0gb/s to SATA 6gb/s | 05:41 |
|---|
| FreshPrince | ZykoticK9, life is to short to compile hours (gentoo) that because i left gentoo and went to archlinux | 05:42 |
|---|
| FreshPrince | :> | 05:42 |
|---|
| tensorpudding | PC is an obnoxious term that no longer has any meaning except "a computer which Windows runs on" | 05:42 |
|---|
| FreshPrince | yes offtopic | 05:42 |
|---|
| FreshPrince | sry | 05:42 |
|---|
| john38 | its backward compatible isnt it | 05:42 |
|---|
| mikeru | maco: OH I'm so sorry to use wrong terminology. Shame on me. I meant Macs are abnormal PCs that do not use BIOS | 05:42 |
|---|
| DanaG | A mac IS a PC made by Apple. | 05:42 |
|---|
| DanaG | EFI is a type of BIOS, actually -- at least that's my impression. | 05:42 |
|---|
| DanaG | My EliteBook has UEFI support, though it's broken -- so I have to boot with the "CSM" (Compatibility something-or-other) in old-fashioned BIOS mode. | 05:43 |
|---|
| maco | tensorpudding: more general than that. a computer thats .. basically not a mainframe, dedicated server, or embedded | 05:43 |
|---|
| SubCool | Ok- here is a question. If i were to install VNC, how would i install it so that the services are running before login- or is that not possible, and id have to setup the box to auto log in | 05:43 |

| john38 | can you hook up SATA and SATA 3.0gb/s to SATA 6gb/s | 05:43 |
|---|
| john38 | its backward compatible isnt it | 05:43 |
|---|
| tensorpudding | EFI is not a type of BIOS in the same way that a motorcycle is not a type of bicycle | 05:43 |
|---|
| mikeru | sorry, lemme change again words. I meant PCs made by Apple have weird issues that other brands of PCs seem not to exhibit | 05:44 |
|---|
| mikeru | happieh? | 05:44 |
|---|
| maco | mikeru: apples are oddly popular among linux folks, so they tend to have pretty darned good linux support | 05:44 |
|---|
| crk | durp | 05:44 |
|---|
| maco | (buy hardware from the most proprietary company, then put a free os on it....O_o) | 05:44 |
|---|
| tensorpudding | Now that they use Intel processors they're easy to support | 05:45 |
|---|
| mikeru | maco: some do, yet some have horrid. I had to literally compile my own grub-efi to get mine to work | 05:45 |
|---|
| crk | apple=expensive for no good reason | 05:45 |
|---|
| john38 | <<waiting for Imacs with six-core | 05:45 |
|---|
| DanaG | Good luck on that. | 05:45 |
|---|
| DanaG | You're better off going with other brands. | 05:45 |
|---|
| mikeru | maco: and EFI is not well supported AFAIK. since mine won't run in BIOS mode, I have to use EFI boot. | 05:46 |
|---|
| DanaG | tensorpudding: that's a good analogy, that motorcycle one. | 05:46 |
|---|
| john38 | can you hook up SATA and SATA 3.0gb/s to SATA 6gb/s | 05:46 |
|---|
| john38 | its backward compatible isnt it | 05:46 |
|---|
| DanaG | UEFI support is a goal for Maverick. | 05:46 |
|---|
| mikeru | I'd love that | 05:46 |
|---|
| maco | mikeru: i think grub2 is supposed to work with efi, and refit is the usual thing for making stuff go, but last week i watched someone install ubuntu on his macbook without using refit first, just a normal ubuntu livecd install. uncertain as to whether dual boots can be done this way though | 05:46 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | john38, try asking in ##hardware for a more decisive answer, but i "believe" SATA is forward/backwards compatible (but not the speeds obviously). | 05:47 |
|---|
| mikeru | particularly, I dislike that after starting X all ttys are toast | 05:47 |

| DanaG | Yeah, should be compatible on SATA. | 05:48 |

| ubottu | greezmunkey, please see my private message | 05:48 |

|---|
| ZykoticK9 | greezmunkey, if you want to send yourself a bot message you can use "/msg ubottu WHATYOURLOOKINGFOR" and it won't show up in the channel ;) | 05:49 |
|---|
| mikeru | however, this macbook in specific (5,2) has a weird bug that will not let it boot that way, unless you disable a core or ACPI, or boot from grub-efi (which is another binary not in the mbr) | 05:49 |
|---|
| mikeru | maco: that's why. refit is for ease of dual booting | 05:49 |

| mikeru | maco: I'm telling you, however, this mac can't use the grub included with ubuntu (grub-pc) because it runs in BIOS mode. it needs grub-efi which (obviously) runs in EFI mode. | 05:51 |

| thefinn931 | help! I can't burn an ISO. There just *isn't an option* to do it. Everywhere i look it says to right click and pick write to disk or something but there is no such option. what should i do? | 05:51 |

| === brebrebrebre is now known as |_ocke |

| [thor] | brasero should come with the stock 10.04 | 05:55 |

| ZykoticK9 | thefinn931, i would recommend against k3b, unless you understand that installing kde libs is a lot do download/update all the time ;) | 05:56 |
|---|
| thefinn931 | yeah i'm not gonna do that | 05:56 |
|---|
| mikeru | but pidof is the weirdest. pidof is a symlink to killall5. if it detects it was invoked as pidof it tells the pid by its process name, yet if invoked as killall5 it kills all programs and logs you out | 05:56 |

| ZykoticK9 | SubCool, what do you mean "before" login? I think there is something you can install that will allow VNC to connect to the GDM login screen (but not 100% on that). If you mean before X starts - not possible. | 06:04 |

| SubCool | ZykoticK9, not necessarily before xstarts, just so that if the box gets rebooted, i can still log in remotely | 06:05 |

| ZykoticK9 | maco, no not xrdcp, it's some vnc/gdm package of some sort. | 06:05 |

| tensorpudding | you can still edit the .java files outside of Eclipse though | 06:48 |
|---|
| mikeru | and you need no project | 06:48 |

|---|
| picard1421 | ? | 06:48 |

|---|
| picard1421 | basically just have KDE login screen and then just DROP KDE all together | 06:49 |

| picard1421 | basically i saw i wanted to use PAM for facical recognition login.. unless you can find a way to do facial recognition without a GUI...??? i mean i would prefer to have no GUI installed but im not sure the best way to get facial recognition without a GUI.. will DWM or X11 be enough not even full KDE? | 06:49 |

| picard1421 | ActionParsnip: well im trying to do facial recognition login.. i dont want a GUI.. at all.. but i cant figure out a way to do facial recognition login without it?? | 06:51 |
|---|
| VS- | So, no one can help? | 06:51 |
|---|
| mikeru | picard1421: ActionParsnip says words of wisdom, listen to him/her | 06:51 |
|---|
| picard1421 | if there is anyway or any program to use to do it through CLI i would soooooo happy | 06:51 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | mikeru: him ;) | 06:51 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | picard1421: weird stuff, i see you point | 06:51 |
|---|
| picard1421 | yea lol its somewhat interesting.. | 06:52 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | picard1421: i'd just have the user log in to an x session then | 06:52 |
|---|
| picard1421 | well how about this at least: is there a way to have static images as the login screen..? not a GUI but basically static Image with type username type password | 06:52 |
|---|
| picard1421 | then | 06:53 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | picard1421: i believe maco knows a thing or 3 | 06:53 |
|---|
| SubCool | did i miss anything? | 06:53 |
|---|
| picard1421 | if the username works you get another static image for 5 seconds then goes right to CLI normall and then if it doesnt work then goes to another Static image for 5 weconds... back to login... It does even have to "login" to the terminal... like almost a security barrier before logging in (as stupid as this may sound) | 06:53 |
|---|
| picard1421 | actionParsnip: what about the X session? | 06:54 |
|---|
| maco | picard1421: kdm is still graphical, but it has a way to login so that you just get a tty. its a default option. if you just remove the graphical options, the users cant screw around and pick non-tty | 06:54 |
|---|
| So_Confused | About the backports... Am I to install ALL the Lucid backports modules, or just the ones that say 'wireless'? | 06:55 |
|---|
| SubCool | picard1421, be sure to test it- , i did that once, and it somehow crashed my X- | 06:55 |
|---|
| picard1421 | tty ? | 06:55 |
|---|
| VS- | Argh, how do I fix the "Unexpectedly disconnected from boot system daemon" error? | 06:55 |
|---|
| picard1421 | i assume that means like CLI? | 06:55 |
|---|
| SubCool | ya | 06:56 |
|---|
| maco | picard1421: yes the thing you get when you ctrl+alt+f1 | 06:56 |
|---|
| maco | picard1421: thats tty1 and the f2 one is tty2 etc | 06:56 |
|---|
| SubCool | but then u have to manually startx | 06:56 |
|---|
| SubCool | right? | 06:56 |
|---|
| maco | SubCool: picard1421 wants X not to be there at all | 06:56 |
|---|
| SubCool | or have they changed that | 06:56 |
|---|
| picard1421 | yeayea | 06:56 |
|---|
| SubCool | ya- i know | 06:56 |
|---|
| maco | SubCool: or at least not after you login | 06:56 |
|---|
| SubCool | ya- thats what we r talking about | 06:56 |
|---|
| picard1421 | what about.... use KDE as a barrier before that.. | 06:56 |
|---|
| SubCool | uh- ... | 06:57 |
|---|
| SubCool | no? | 06:57 |
|---|
| SubCool | lol | 06:57 |

|---|
| mikeru | RAINBOW, I HAZ IT | 06:57 |
|---|
| SubCool | i cant imaging logging into a gui, and then being pushed back to CLI | 06:57 |
|---|
| picard1421 | =i know its frustrating | 06:57 |
|---|
| SubCool | sounds like one of my bad days actually | 06:57 |

| maco | picard1421: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_enable_the_fingerprint_reader#kdm_support | 06:57 |
|---|
| picard1421 | i wish there was no problems like this.. if there were a facial recognition that worked with CLI i would be golden | 06:57 |
|---|
| SubCool | i hate mandriva | 06:57 |
|---|
| SubCool | im sure there is- but ... it would be a hassle | 06:58 |
|---|
| picard1421 | whats KDM? | 06:58 |
|---|
| maco | picard1421: the login screen used in kde | 06:58 |
|---|
| maco | picard1421: as opposed to gdm, the login screen used in gnome | 06:58 |
|---|
| maco | picard1421: dm = display manager | 06:58 |
|---|
| SubCool | acronyms are silly like that | 06:58 |
|---|
| picard1421 | there is no graphical setup for obviously just server lol | 06:58 |
|---|
| tensorpudding | hooray, force-killed banshee, and now banshee won't start up again | 06:59 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | SubCool: just select text mode as the session after selecting your username | 06:59 |
|---|
| o2oo | mikeru, oh yes!! thank you! | 06:59 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | tensorpudding: make sure no other banshee processes are running | 06:59 |

| So_Confused | running 10.04 netbook. Trying to get Atheros AR9285 working. Installing the lucid backports, do I install ALL backports for lucid, or just those that say 'wireless'? Should this be the solution or just part 1 of it? | 06:59 |
|---|
| tensorpudding | i just checked, there are a lot of them | 06:59 |
|---|
| maco | picard1421: right but if you just install kdm, you can make it work with fingerprint readers and whatnots, and set it up so that it ONLY allows login to CLI/TTY, and then youve got what ou want | 06:59 |
|---|
| picard1421 | ohhh | 06:59 |
|---|
| SubCool | ActionParsnip, i have run across it before when my graphics cards fail- its a nightmare.. i have always dreaded CLI- but im giving in,. | 06:59 |
|---|
| picard1421 | so i dont need KDE to install KDM?? | 07:00 |
|---|
| * mikeru thanks o2oo | 07:00 |
| mikeru | WAIT | 07:00 |
|---|
| mikeru | WHY? | 07:00 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | tensorpudding: if its really dead then kill pulseaudio then run: rm -r ~/.pulse* then press alt+f2 and run: pulseaudio | 07:00 |
|---|
| SubCool | picard1421, ???? | 07:00 |
|---|
| maco | picard1421: some of the base libraries, yes, but the apps, no | 07:00 |
|---|
| mikeru | haha, o2oo you're welcome | 07:00 |
|---|
| picard1421 | ahhhhhhhhh | 07:00 |

| picard1421 | so if i run apt-get install kdm | 07:00 |
|---|
| SubCool | very good :) | 07:00 |
|---|
| maco | picard1421: i'd add --no-install-recommends to that | 07:00 |
|---|
| SubCool | sounds like ur piecing a car together. lol- | 07:01 |
|---|
| xangua | pie_: have you installed cheese¿ | 07:01 |
|---|
| tensorpudding | thanks | 07:01 |
|---|
| maco | picard1421: so it only pulls actual dependencies not the nice-to-have stuff too | 07:01 |

| ActionParsnip | pie_: run: lsusb you will see the 8 character hex id, websearch that for guides | 07:01 |

| SubCool | picard1421, just do what me and ActionParsnip were talking about | 07:01 |
|---|
| picard1421 | apt-get install --no-install-recommends | 07:01 |
|---|
| picard1421 | apt-get install kdm --no-install-recommends | 07:01 |

|---|
| SubCool | swim away- swim away!! | 07:02 |
|---|
| picard1421 | so 240 MB is the lightest package i can have? | 07:03 |

|---|
| Loshki | picard1421: well, you need *something*. It doesn't have to be Gnome, but Gnome is a good choice... | 07:08 |
|---|
| Docteh | isn't that the regular port for dhcp? | 07:09 |
|---|
| picard1421 | is there anything lighter than Gnome??? | 07:09 |
|---|
| Docteh | lxde? | 07:09 |
|---|
| red2kic | picard1421: LXDE. XFCE? | 07:09 |
|---|
| red2kic | picard1421: No DE! Make your own! | 07:09 |
|---|
| red2kic | picard1421: Server edition! No need for those pesky X11 stuffs. | 07:10 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | joeyyyy: use iptables or firestarter to configure iptables | 07:10 |
|---|
| picard1421 | ? | 07:10 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | picard1421: flwm is probably lightest, Fluxbox, openbox are light too | 07:10 |
|---|
| picard1421 | do thery have GUI login's | 07:10 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | picard1421: the login system is seperate to the DE and WM | 07:10 |
|---|
| Loshki | picard1421: yes, and some are specially designed to be extra light. One of the lightest is said to be fluxbox per http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=278872 | 07:11 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | picard1421: you can use KDM to log into any desktop environmnt you like, a desktop environment doesn't have a dedicated login system | 07:11 |
|---|
| picard1421 | but for example will programs that work on KDE no work on this.. like for example PAM.. if i wanted to to just like i said literallly run just a login with GUI and thats it? | 07:12 |
|---|
| picard1421 | but why did KDM take 212 MB to DL? | 07:12 |
|---|
| picard1421 | seems very heafty.. becuase it needs all the dependencies of good ol KDE? | 07:12 |
|---|
| shawnboy | anyone know how to add an album to CDDB? | 07:12 |
|---|
| picard1421 | evenouthg they are not running | 07:12 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | picard1421: deps and libs | 07:12 |
|---|
| well_laid_lawn | all the kde libs come with kdm afaik | 07:12 |
|---|
| picard1421 | kk | 07:12 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | picard1421: its also why servers dont have x servers, its less to run and smaller footprint, leaving greater resources for the stuff it i serving | 07:13 |
|---|
| picard1421 | hmmm.. | 07:14 |
|---|
| picard1421 | but for example if i just login with KDM | 07:14 |
|---|
| Docteh | heh be careful if you install two display managers at once, its hard to fix kdm and gdm fighting over an X display | 07:14 |
|---|
| picard1421 | and set it to go to tty1 | 07:14 |
|---|
| picard1421 | or tty in general will all the KDE dependencies not be used.. resource non intensive.. ? | 07:14 |
|---|
| Docteh | picard1421: its a question of "is the thing running" not "is it visible" | 07:15 |
|---|
| Docteh | picard1421: you could just get people to learn to type startx if they want a gui ;) | 07:15 |
|---|
| marios | i want to install ubuntu and then backtrack 4 tools , do you think is possible ? | 07:15 |
|---|
| picard1421 | its not the fact they need a gui.. doctech, its the fact for face authentication.. and i cant figure out a awy to have like face autentication login then goes directly to CLI.. | 07:16 |
|---|
| picard1421 | like if there was only a face auth tool that worked exclusively in CLI.. | 07:17 |
|---|
| Docteh | chvt or run a terminal app maximized instead of a wm | 07:17 |

| mikeru | ActionParsnip: when it was released, I bet it wasn't ugly | 07:43 |
|---|
| mikeru | sucky* | 07:43 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | hstefan: if you check the hcl before purchasing it makes life easier | 07:43 |
|---|
| rxd | Its MinimalCD can this be installed using frugal | 07:43 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | mikeru: true but its a decent enough chip for torrents + file server + backup, a celeron would be lovely | 07:44 |
|---|
| invisibleprison | This is what df reports for that partition: /dev/sda8 747G 709G 4.0K 100% /home. How does that make sense? There's ~40G unaccounted for there, nevermind the fact that only about 50-60G should be used, not 709G | 07:44 |
|---|
| GetDown | ActionParsnip, xangua i'm checking sec.... | 07:44 |
|---|
| hstefan | ActionParsnip: yeah, but as I said before, it was a present (from my mother) and she knows shit about hardware. | 07:44 |
|---|
| mikeru | ActionParsnip: then, use a celeron :-) | 07:44 |
|---|
| collabra | rxd: It's a standalone install,... when you said frugal i thought you meant a minimal install,... | 07:44 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | invisibleprison: that would be the journal | 07:44 |
|---|
| collabra | rxd: what is frugal? | 07:45 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | mikeru: don't have one and don't have a celeron board | 07:45 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | collabra: its like a minimal install | 07:45 |
|---|
| invisibleprison | ActionParsnip, Do you know why my drive would be showing up as full when it's not? | 07:45 |
|---|
| mikeru | actionparsnip: mmm | 07:45 |
|---|
| mikeru | : ( | 07:45 |
|---|
| rxd | collabra: frugal is when you install ubuntu on an ntfs partition without using the device say /dev/sda1 as your root | 07:45 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | invisibleprison: it is, the space is occupied by the ext3 or ext4 journal | 07:45 |
|---|
| hstefan | ActionParsnip: ooh, waait. I dunno if that howto you sent me will work. I don't get any error when execute 'modprobe sis190' | 07:46 |
|---|
| invisibleprison | ActionParsnip, 650G? | 07:46 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | hstefan: oooh exciting. Try: ifconfig | 07:46 |
|---|
| hstefan | humm, what am I searching there? | 07:46 |
|---|
| rxd | collabra: like u have a readonly system...same like running from the CD but instead your initrd.gz filesystem.squashfs on the drive say c:\ubuntu | 07:47 |
|---|
| collabra | rxd: oh,... well,... you can download ubuntu 10.04 LTS,... I think it has what's called an install using wubi.exe if you want to put it within windows. | 07:47 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | invisibleprison: 747gb - 709gb = 36gb which is about right for a journal on a partition that size | 07:47 |

| LinuxFetus | hey I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 32-bit. I'm new to Linux. When I first installed Ubuntu, it would display an Ubuntu Splash/Loader with the word Ubuntu, the logo, and about five dots that would be lighting up underneath... I did something and now it just shows a black screen with a blinking underscore in the upper-left hand corner. What do I have to do to restore the original boot splash screen? Thanks in advance! | 07:53 |
|---|
| collabra | rxd: right on,... glad to help. | 07:53 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | invisibleprison: yep, the partition is full. If you install bleachbit you can clear temp stuff out nicely. Watch browser settings as it'll clean settings you wanna keep. Also avoid settings that say they will take a long time. Also before running close as many apps as you can to unlock files | 07:53 |
|---|
| Shurathing | Like the name LinuxFetus | 07:53 |
|---|
| roved2101 | oh yes | 07:54 |
|---|
| LinuxFetus | Shurathing, thank you :) | 07:54 |
|---|
| invisibleprison | ActionParsnip, The problem isn't temp files. I only have 56G that SHOULD be showing. I deleted a 500GB .xsession file this morning and I'm wondering if somehow whichever process it was is still writing to the partition, but not to an actual file? | 07:55 |

| pie_ | ok so i have my webcams drivers installed and it looks like its working but flash wont recognize th e webcam, any ideas? | 07:56 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | LinuxFetus: use that guide until the embedded video. It will force the framebuffer driver until you get to login then your nvidia/ati card will kick in | 07:57 |
|---|
| collabra | rxd: not sure,... just a sec. | 07:57 |
|---|
| LinuxFetus | ActionParsnip, I'm not sure what that means, yet, but I will read and get back to you if I have questions/problems. Thank you :) | 07:57 |

|---|
| picard1421 | i just want a C+ compiler | 07:58 |
|---|
| invisibleprison | ActionParsnip, it probably will, but this isn't the first time this has happened and it's very frustrating. | 07:58 |
|---|
| hstefan | ActionParsnip: what do you mean? | 07:58 |
|---|
| pie_ | ActionParsnip: sorry im bithering you so much :P , ok so i have my webcams drivers installed and it looks like its working but flash wont recognize th e webcam, any ideas? | 07:58 |
|---|
| hstefan | picard1421: if you want a compiler you can use g++. sudo apt-get install g++ | 07:59 |
|---|
| invisibleprison | ActionParsnip, if I kill all of the programs that had a handle on the .xsession file, do you think that could help? | 07:59 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | LinuxFetus: it walks you through it. The proprietary driver isn't loaded right away so the display stinks. The frmebuffer driver is quicker and will give a display for the duration of the boot | 07:59 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | invisibleprison: worth a shot | 07:59 |

| pres | afief; dunno. I don't use Linux for my pgp keys. | 08:12 |
|---|
| well_laid_lawn | Shurathing: if you are only using the backports for a driver for the wifi just install the driver module - search for atheros | 08:12 |

|---|
| ubottu | EgyParadox: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 08:13 |
|---|
| Shurathing | well-laid-lawn: Search for Atheros in PackageManager didn't result in anything about driver modules. | 08:13 |
|---|
| Pranky | <well_laid_lawn>:Ok | 08:13 |
|---|
| afief | pres, it's rather funny isn't it? after all ubuntu is one of the largest linux distros out there | 08:13 |

| Shurathing | ActionParsnip: No. I installed all backports. I'm going to do a fresh install and just install linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic | 08:16 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | Shurathing: ok, can you please log the bug though. It will help others :) | 08:16 |
|---|
| LinuxFetus | ActionParsnip, I did what the site said and it didn't work; instead of loading a black screen with a blinking underscore in the upper left hand corner, it now is just completely black. | 08:16 |
|---|
| Shurathing | FYI, there are 2 back ports.. one ending _generic, other ending _generic-pae | 08:17 |
|---|
| Shurathing | ActionParsnip: Will log the bug | 08:17 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | LinuxFetus: here's the one I used. Had to scan my favourites: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth-Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml | 08:19 |
|---|
| Shurathing | so I don't use the backport ending in -pae? | 08:20 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | LinuxFetus: little more involved but worked like a champ here | 08:20 |
|---|
| LinuxFetus | ActionParsnip, should I undo what I did earlier? | 08:20 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | Shurathing: if you run: uname -a ,and see pae then yes | 08:20 |

|---|
| LinuxFetus | Ahhh I think I may have done it incorrectly -- the "GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x1024" step requires uncommenting that line... I missed that before. | 08:23 |

|---|
| shorttech | I'm wondering if there is a way for me to test my kvpnc connection | 08:32 |
|---|
| grendal_prime | the main reason is that this box is for virutalmachines primarily. | 08:32 |

| ilovefairuz | grendal_prime: ssh | 08:32 |

| shorttech | I dont think its working 100% - I just switched from Mandriva and I had working in Mandria 10 just fine, but cant seem to find the problem with ubuntu | 08:33 |
|---|
| grendal_prime | i use ssh every day. most of the work i do is on remote nix systems. this is why i know very little about remote desktops in general | 08:33 |

| shorttech | maybe its something with my firewall | 08:33 |
|---|
| grendal_prime | free nx seems to be pretty reliable and fast. | 08:33 |

| LinuxFetus | ActionParsnip, Well it's getting better but there are a couple of problems - it changed the resolution of Grub 2 -- now everything's tiny... I don't like that. Secondly, the Ubuntu font/logo isn't there. It's now just "Ubuntu 10.04" with serifs on the font and not the standard logo, if that makes sense. My Grub is configured slightly differently. Inside of /etc/grub.d, I have changed 40_custom to have options for the OS's I | 08:34 |
|---|
| LinuxFetus | want to select on startup (I don't like the fact that there's a memtest, etc., and that I can't rename them). I have two choices: "Microsoft Windows XP Professional" and "Ubuntu 10.04 LTS" (that's what I've called them). I chmod'ed the permissions on "10_linux," "30_os-prober", and "20_memtest86+" to no longer be executable by anyone (chmod ugo-x). Then I run update-grub and then my boot/grub/grub.lst file or whatever only | 08:34 |
|---|
| LinuxFetus | has two menu options -- the two specified in 40_custom. I don't know if that's pertinent, or not, but I thought I'd let you know just in case. | 08:34 |

| grendal_prime | ilovefairuz, ya i do that alot but umm this is on the same network..i dont need to encrypt it.. | 08:35 |
|---|
| LinuxFetus | shorttech, No... sorry :X I just wanted to be very specific. | 08:35 |
|---|
| iceroot | grendal_prime: #vbox | 08:35 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | LinuxFetus: you could have just commented the entries in tehe various files you editted. Memtest is handy but is removable just like any other package | 08:35 |
|---|
| grendal_prime | im finding that ssh is a bit slow in this situation. | 08:35 |
|---|
| grendal_prime | i guess i could use rsh | 08:36 |
|---|
| ilovefairuz | grendal_prime: and so? it's just a proven method of painlessly running remote X applications. -C will compress the data back and forth | 08:36 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | grendal_prime: what virtualisation technology are you using? | 08:36 |
|---|
| JustMozzy | hi guys. I am having a critical issue. I can't install anything anymore :S :S when I run apt-get install I get these errors: http://www.pastebin.ca/1910771 need help urgently | 08:36 |

| hariom | Hi, I want to install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64bit on my Ubuntu 8.04 LTS i386 machine. My PC processor is 64 bit so I want to use Ubuntu 64 bit version. Unfortunately, the DVD drive is not working. How can I install 64bit version on old 32 bit Ubuntu? | 08:37 |
|---|
| grendal_prime | personally ive found it does not perform as well as virtualbox anyway. | 08:37 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | grendal_prime: ask in #vbox ,there may be a web gui which is slick | 08:37 |
|---|
| arvind_khadri | JustMozzy, your tmp directory has run out of space | 08:37 |
|---|
| LinuxFetus | I'm not sure what you mean... As far as I understand, the other files don't explicitly make mention of all of the OS's -- they search the drive for partitions with OS's loaded and display them. Furthermore, the grub.lst file or whatever says at the top that it isn't to be modified directly. | 08:37 |
|---|
| ilovefairuz | grendal_prime: http://code.google.com/p/vboxweb/ | 08:37 |
|---|
| hariom | I have internet and local Lan access where I have 64bit iso file | 08:37 |
|---|
| apt415 | JustMozzy: how do you have your system partitioned? | 08:38 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | JustMozzy: reading. Its taking an age due to the graphical crap around the text | 08:38 |
|---|
| JustMozzy | apt415, I have the whole HD automatically partitioned by the ubuntu installation | 08:38 |
|---|
| ilovefairuz | hariom: you can't install a 64bit ISO on a 32bit machine | 08:39 |

| hariom | How to do Ubuntu network install? I want to install ubuntu 64bit on my existing 32 bit ubuntu version. | 08:39 |

| well_laid_lawn | !minimal | hariom | 08:39 |
|---|
| ubottu | hariom: 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 | 08:39 |
|---|
| ilovefairuz | hariom: then download the 64bit ISO and install as usual | 08:39 |

| ActionParsnip | hariom: if you want to change architecture you must reinstall | 08:40 |

| ilovefairuz | !install | hariom | 08:40 |

| ubottu | hariom: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 08:40 |

| frag4now | hi all. I'm going to install wxWidgets compiling it but pkg-config can't find GKT libraries. I looked for in /usr/lib/pkgconfig/ directory but there isn't a gtk+.pc file...any ideas? | 08:41 |
|---|
| hariom | USB stick? how? Should I extract ISO and put that in USB stick and make USB as first boot device? | 08:41 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | hariom: if you have a 1gb stick you can put the desktop iso on it and install it all offline | 08:41 |
|---|
| Adminio | \j #ubuntu-it | 08:41 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | hariom: no, it needs software like usb-creator-gtk or the tool on pendrivelinux which is for windows | 08:42 |
|---|
| ilovefairuz | !unetbootin | hariom | 08:42 |
|---|
| ubottu | hariom: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 08:42 |

| ActionParsnip | hariom: or you can use unetbootin in either | 08:42 |

|---|
| JustMozzy | ActionParsnip, no problem ;) | 08:43 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | JustMozzy: you needs guides regarding the cache being small etc | 08:43 |
|---|
| ilovefairuz | apt415: you first have to tell the registrar DNS servers to point to your static IP address | 08:43 |

| |DURAN| | frag4now, av clamav and firewall iptables? | 08:51 |
|---|
| ilovefairuz | |DURAN|: ubunu does not need an antivirus, unless you run an internet-accessible mail server | 08:52 |
|---|
| frag4now | ilovefairuz: hmm are you sure i miss that? because to install gkt*-dev i need to install a lot of stuff | 08:52 |
