| Shiba | :P | 00:00 |
| etter | Seveas: thanks | 00:00 |
| rww | Shiba: I suspect #ubuntu-offtopic would be more appreciative of your humor ;P | 00:01 |
| Seveas | Shiba, please keep the chatter/nonsense to yourself | 00:01 |
| Shiba | okay, sorry :) | 00:01 |
| Shiba | that guy just reminded me of hte movie :) | 00:01 |
| shurathing | aeon-ltd: Ahhh... I learned something. sudo gedit... awesome. | 00:02 |
| rww | gksudo gedit is a better idea | 00:02 |
| shurathing | aeon-ltd: restart nessessary? | 00:03 |
| Shiba | shurathing: try nano. its so much better than vi. | 00:03 |
| shurathing | Shiba: don't know what nano or vi are. | 00:03 |
| Shiba | shurathing: nano is a console text editor | 00:03 |
| aeon-ltd | shurathing: shouldn't need to restart | 00:03 |
| Shiba | so is VI, but using VI is like using a sandpaper condom... | 00:04 |
| Shiba | you just don't do it (tm) :) | 00:04 |
| shurathing | Shiba: Ahh.. kk. I'll look into that if I'm going to do more terminal stuff | 00:04 |

| neekers | i installed ubuntu 9.04 on linode.com before i learned about the Long Term Support versions like lucid lynx. is there an easy way to upgrade to lynx or does it require a entire reinstall? | 00:04 |
| neekers | an | 00:04 |
| rww | ubottu: upgrade | neekers | 00:04 |
| ubottu | neekers: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 00:04 |
| Muscovy | rww: gnome-shell won't install due to xulrunner being too new. | 00:05 |
| neekers | thanks | 00:05 |
| Shiba | neekers: you can do an in-place upgrade | 00:05 |
| gryllida | Help! I press backspace in AbiWord and often get more than one character deleted! | 00:05 |
| Shiba | neekers: read the documentation first though | 00:05 |
| rww | Muscovy: Hrm, I thought that got fixed. One sec. | 00:05 |
| Seveas | gryllida, try pressing it for a shorter time :) | 00:05 |
| eMyller | noob question; how do i know from which repo a package come? | 00:05 |
| Seveas | eMyller, apt-cache policy packagename | 00:05 |
| neekers | i will definitely read the docs, just scared with all my websites running and mysql and mail server etc... | 00:05 |
| hylian | does anyone know a system info program with a lot of detail, besides hwinfo? | 00:06 |
| Seveas | eMyller, the one with *** is the installed one | 00:06 |
| rww | hylian: lshw | 00:06 |
| eMyller | Seveas: thanks :D | 00:06 |
| Shiba | neekers: the docs include instructions that direct you to make backups of *everything* | 00:06 |
| gryllida | Seveas, it deleted whole next line very often, I press it once only, doesn't happen in other applications. | 00:06 |
| Shiba | neekers: always assume the worst. in this case that means total data loss. | 00:06 |
| hylian | rvw thanx | 00:06 |
| shurathing | aeon-ltd: Should I get some kind of audio confermation when hitting the volume keys? I'm getting no sound still. | 00:06 |
| Shiba | neekers: dump your MySQL databases and tar up your websites | 00:07 |
| neekers | shiba: well my wordpress sites and db are fully backed up, and that is where most of my IP is... | 00:07 |
| aeon-ltd | shurathing: test it with a video again | 00:07 |
| gryllida | Seveas, any idea? | 00:07 |
| Seveas | gryllida, none at all | 00:07 |
| Shiba | neekers: well do it again, just prior to the actual upgrade | 00:07 |

| gryllida | Seveas: same result for Edit - Cut. | 00:08 |
| airtonix | I need to remove a host from my ~/.ssh/knownhosts... but i can't work out which one it is because all the hostnames are in md5 or sha or something. | 00:08 |
| shurathing | aeon-ltd: just did... still no audio | 00:08 |
| Seveas | roved2101, what kind of mouse? | 00:08 |
| rww | Muscovy: Oh, I see. It's currently not installable due to a stable release upgrade to xulrunner. There's an update to fix this problem in lucid-proposed, so it should be fixed in lucid-updates soon. The relevant bug report is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gjs/+bug/608940 | 00:08 |
| aeon-ltd | shurathing: damn, experimental but you could restart | 00:08 |
| Seveas | airtonix, if you need to remove it because ssh is complaining about a key mismatch, it usually reports a linenumber as well | 00:08 |
| shurathing | aeon-ltd: agreed... brb | 00:09 |
| roved2101 | Seveas ps2 | 00:09 |
| Muscovy | rww: Could it be fixed by manually installing the package in lucid-proposed? | 00:09 |
| Seveas | airtonix, you can also use ssh-keygen -F (see man ssh-keygen) | 00:10 |
| airtonix | Seveas, cheers | 00:10 |
| rww | Muscovy: Installing the -proposed package would fix it, yes. The last comment in the bug report has a link that explains how to do that. | 00:10 |
| Muscovy | Ok, thanks! | 00:10 |

| gryllida | Ok, full question once again. When I hit edit-cut, or DEL, or BACKSPACE in AbiWord, I often get more than one char (always after the current one) deleted, like half of next line or so, instead of just one char. Why and how can I set it to work normally? It does not happen in other applications. | 00:12 |
| Seveas | gryllida, have you asked in #abiword? | 00:13 |
| shurathing | aeon-ltd: restarted... I think I botched something because now I don't even have the visual indication that I'm hitting the volume buttons. | 00:13 |

| binbrain | SomeShmo: there Ubuntu laptops dude, I was hoping for a recommendation | 00:50 |
| KwikkSilva | I tried editing /etc/network/interfaces to create a bridge - when i restarted - i had no interfaces showing up anywhere | 00:50 |
| SomeShmo | KwikkSilva, I'm sending a team over, quick. In the mean time, seek shelter. | 00:50 |
| maxred | mmmmmmmmm | 00:50 |
| KwikkSilva | now i've set the file back to the way it was and restarted - still no interfaces | 00:50 |
| SomeShmo | binbrain, Oh. I suggesting going with the first one. | 00:50 |
| theholder | ok let me explain i am trying to get ubuntu server 9.10 to listen on two ip addresses i have been given by my hosting provider it seems to only be listening on one ip address i would like to have the server listen on both ips can you tell me where i need to edit or what commands i need to type? thanks | 00:50 |
| kop | KwikkSilva, as soon as I stop laughing (with you not at you ) could you define toasted ? | 00:50 |

| econdudeawesome | howdy! How do i fix grub? I had a failed install on a second partition and now I got nothing | 00:51 |
| binbrain | SomeShmo: your help has been life altering, thanks for your insight | 00:51 |
| KwikkSilva | kop, toasted as in they were working perfect - i edited the interfaces file - restarted then they dissappeared - then i reverted the file - and they never came back | 00:51 |
| shurathing | ilovefairuz: totally awesome! So loud and full of sound. THank you | 00:51 |
| SomeShmo | binbrain, You can thank me later when you use your new desktop. Have a good night! =) | 00:52 |

| Irinix | I'm running dual heads on ubuntu 10.04 with a nvidia 9500gt card. my seconday monitor is rated for above 1280x1024 (sorry I don't remember the max resolution at the mo) but the Nvidia drivers will not let me go above 800x600 =( My Xorg.conf is here: http://pastebin.ca/1911386 | 00:53 |
| econdudeawesome | howdy! How do i fix grub? I had a failed install on a second partition and now I got nothing | 00:53 |
| KwikkSilva | it was only two lines in interfaces for the loopback | 00:53 |
| theholder | Thanks | 00:53 |
| kop | shurathing, the bill is in the mail; | 00:53 |
| SomeShmo | Irinix, What's the maximum resolution on the secondary monitor? | 00:53 |
| ilovefairuz | bebo__: you can't get infected by windows viruses in ubuntu, don't worry | 00:53 |
| shurathing | kop: that's cool. I'll forward it to my girl | 00:53 |

| Irinix | I can't find a solution on google that works. I'm trying to get the nvidia settings manager to allow me to reset its resolution | 00:55 |
| KwikkSilva | anyone know how i can get my interfaces back? | 00:55 |
| bebo__ | or any flash u get | 00:55 |
| SomeShmo | econdudeawesome, Maybe. Give it a try. | 00:55 |
| Irinix | Nvidia settings locks it into 800x600 | 00:55 |
| SomeShmo | Irinix, Are you familiar with shell scripting? | 00:55 |
| KwikkSilva | the /etc/network/interfaces was pretty much empty except for the loopback when i edited it. | 00:55 |
| kop | KwikkSilva, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart ( or stop & start) Yes I know it has been converted to an upstart job but he hasn't specified the dist | 00:55 |

| SomeShmo | Irinix, I know the fix, follow this exactly, it will work like a charm... | 00:56 |
| KwikkSilva | kop, tried that - the interfaces never reappear | 00:56 |
| ilovefairuz | Blue1: what do you need? | 00:56 |

| SomeShmo | Irinix, I gotta run, sorry. | 00:56 |
| ilovefairuz | econdudeawesome: where's ubuntu installed? | 00:56 |
| econdudeawesome | ilovefairuz sda1 | 00:57 |
| Irinix | SomeShmo, could you email me the fix? | 00:57 |
| ilovefairuz | Blue1: scribus is the best out there | 00:57 |
| theholder | hello again i edited the interfaces file | 00:57 |
| ilovefairuz | econdudeawesome: which parition ? | 00:57 |
| Blue1 | ilovefairuz: many thanks I shall give it gander | 00:57 |
| theholder | then i restarted my vps and now its only got the one ip again :( | 00:57 |
| econdudeawesome | ilovefairuz i was attempting at installing my own respin from ubuntu minimal and it died :-D ilovefairuz sda1 | 00:57 |
| econdudeawesome | ilovefairuz i was attempting at installing my own respin from ubuntu minimal on sda2 | 00:57 |
| thatguy1 | I have a program that I am attempting to compile, it requires pthread. Upon trying to compile the compiler throws an that says that it cannot compile and gives the error (ld: cannot find -lthr) and then exits due to the error. I have pointed the pthread.h file directly and it still gives this error. Any thoughts? | 00:58 |
| econdudeawesome | ilovefairuz the only idea I had was to mount the partition and run update-grub | 00:58 |
| ilovefairuz | econdudeawesome: meaning you have two installations now? one working and one broke? | 00:58 |
| econdudeawesome | ilovefairuz as far as I know, because I can access the data on sda1 and reformatted sda2 (where the broken install was) | 00:59 |
| econdudeawesome | ilovefairuz so I think the install just screwed with grub somehow, so I generated a new one... | 00:59 |
| ilovefairuz | econdudeawesome: so the working installation is on sda1? | 01:01 |
| theholder | hello | 01:01 |
| econdudeawesome | iilovefairuz yes | 01:01 |

| KwikkSilva | thx :-) | 01:02 |
| ilovefairuz | econdudeawesome: done? | 01:03 |
| picard1421 | is there anyway to create an Ubuntu installation on a flash drive? | 01:03 |
| KwikkSilva | But - do you think you could help me with bridging? I'm trying to bridge from Server A to Server B (B is wireless) to get Server A available on my network (not necessarily to get him on the internet) | 01:03 |
| theholder | http://paste.ubuntu.com/470883/ | 01:03 |

| ilovefairuz | bebo__: i dont think there are other programs available for ubuntu, so just use clamav | 01:05 |
| sigmonsays | Strange, maybe I just need to launch gnome-control-center to fix pulse audo =/ | 01:05 |
| shurathing | Might I have issues with printer drivers? As in is the install process as involved as other fixes? My girl is taking this comp to class and I don't want to leave her with no way to print. | 01:06 |
| bebo__ | <ilovefairuz> ok , thanks for u r time | 01:06 |
| ilovefairuz | KwikkSilva: you use use an adhoc network | 01:06 |
| ilovefairuz | can use * | 01:07 |
| ilovefairuz | shurathing: only one way to know ... | 01:07 |
| ilovefairuz | !install | picard1421 | 01:07 |
| ubottu | picard1421: 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 | 01:07 |
| sigmonsays | Why would my asoundconf binary be missing tho -- ubuntu karmic not have that? | 01:07 |
| KwikkSilva | ilovefairuz, well, i was able to get Server A on the network using Server B as an internet gateway, is that what you mean? | 01:07 |
| KwikkSilva | but then Server A was behind B, on a private subnet and no one could get in at him | 01:08 |
| shurathing | ilovefairuz: as in, try it and see? | 01:08 |
| theholder | did anyone look at my paste ? | 01:08 |
| ilovefairuz | KwikkSilva: if A can connect to B then it's already reachable | 01:08 |
| theholder | wowh | 01:09 |
| theholder | i have to leave | 01:09 |
| KwikkSilva | ilovefairuz, thats what i thought - A and B can talk back and forward no problem. But C on my network cannot get to A | 01:09 |
| theholder | its confusing | 01:09 |
| theholder | alwl | 01:09 |
| thatguy1 | Thanks all, that has me looking in the right direction | 01:09 |
| KwikkSilva | i'm trying to get C to A and thats how i hosed my network in the first place - with a bridging setup that did not work | 01:10 |
| mues747 | anyone know how to fix the bug in gstreamer ubuntu10.4 for youtube plugin? | 01:10 |
| KwikkSilva | its been driving me nuts | 01:10 |
| ilovefairuz | KwikkSilva: there was no 'C' in your question, you can setup an wirless access point using hostapd + dnsmasq on one of them and get them all to connect to it | 01:10 |
| jjgalvez__ | empathy keeps giving me segfault errors when I try to use video | 01:10 |
| uRock | mues747, have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras? | 01:11 |
| mues747 | yes | 01:11 |
| hiexpo | medibutu repos also | 01:11 |
| KwikkSilva | ilovefairuz, ahh so Server B needs to be an access point | 01:11 |
| mues747 | used terminal and installed super os too | 01:12 |
| KwikkSilva | and the way its set up now hes not? | 01:12 |
| ilovefairuz | KwikkSilva: it should be normally the one having access to the wired network | 01:12 |
| KwikkSilva | i guess i dont get it | 01:12 |
| hiexpo | super os ? | 01:12 |
| ilovefairuz | KwikkSilva: the machine with the wired connection should access as a wireless access point, and all other machines connect to it | 01:13 |
| KwikkSilva | These servers A and B - are at the bottom of the apartment, the router is miles away and there is no machine physically connected to it | 01:13 |
| === dhdfoo is now known as dhd | ||
| KwikkSilva | B is connected to the router cia wireless, i was trying to bridge A onto the network using his connection | 01:13 |
| mues747 | opens up all restricted extras, adds alot to your system that isn't there out of the box... | 01:13 |
| KwikkSilva | I got him on, but C (a wireless laptop) could not ping A, only B | 01:14 |
| ilovefairuz | KwikkSilva: how is A connected to B? | 01:14 |
| KwikkSilva | eth0 on A to wlan0 on B | 01:14 |
| hiexpo | through abc's ? | 01:14 |
| KwikkSilva | sorry | 01:14 |
| KwikkSilva | eth0 on A to eth0 on B, then B has wlan0 connected to my router | 01:15 |
| hiexpo | pfff | 01:15 |
| ilovefairuz | KwikkSilva: does A have a wireless connection ? | 01:15 |
| ilovefairuz | hiexpo: enough | 01:15 |
| mues747 | I have the restricted extras... also good, bad, ugly gstreamer plugins | 01:15 |
| KwikkSilva | Unfortunately not - no drivers for the card | 01:16 |
| KwikkSilva | sorry - there is more info here - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1535015 | 01:16 |
| Deist | Hello! I'm in a bit of a problem. | 01:16 |
| hiexpo | ?me ilovefairuz ok being smarty :) | 01:16 |
| KwikkSilva | Maybe the commands i display there might help understand - i'm just confused | 01:16 |
| Deist | I can only boot in safe graphic mode. If i choose to boot normal I'll just get a frozen plymouth screen. | 01:16 |
| ilovefairuz | KwikkSilva: alright, can you setup an adhoc wirless network between B and C? | 01:17 |
| KwikkSilva | ohh never though of that - i reckon so.. i could try | 01:18 |
| KwikkSilva | bu i'm on C :-) so i'd better get all the info first | 01:18 |
| shurathing | kk... thanks again. :) | 01:18 |
| hiexpo | ^ /me ilovefairuz ok being smarty :) | 01:18 |
| KwikkSilva | You reckon thats the onlty way it'll work? | 01:18 |
| * hiexpo ilovefairuz sorry | 01:19 | |
| ilovefairuz | Deist: at the very beginning of boot, hold down the shift key, press e, remove 'quiet splash' from the line, press enter, press b, and check the messages as it boots | 01:19 |
| Deist | thanks! | 01:19 |
| ilovefairuz | KwikkSilva: well it's the simplest way, the other would be setting up B as a wireless access point using hostapd | 01:20 |
| KwikkSilva | ilovefairuz, might sound dumb - but if i did get hostpad setup - do i need any special featuires on my other router in order to finish the setup (WDS?) | 01:21 |
| ilovefairuz | KwikkSilva: not at all, just that the wireless card supports access point mode (AP mode) | 01:22 |
| boing | trying to delete partition and gettting this error | 01:23 |
| ilovefairuz | KwikkSilva: you can use open, wep or wpa/wap2 encryption without any extra software | 01:23 |
| boing | please unmount any logical aprtitions having a bumber hgiher than 5 | 01:23 |
| sigmonsays | lol, I don't get how they shit a alsa-utils package that's missing asoundconf | 01:24 |
| sigmonsays | oops * s/shit/ship/ | 01:24 |
| KwikkSilva | ilovefairuz, cool - ok i might try that - you reckon tough to setup? or straight forward? i'm reasonably ok with ubuntu | 01:24 |
| ilovefairuz | KwikkSilva: not at all tough, hostapd.conf and dnsmasq.conf can be very minimal, but be sure to get the IPs right | 01:25 |
| ilovefairuz | boing: sudo fdisk -l | 01:26 |
| picard1421 | how do i install the kde version of openbox??? whats the apt-get im running from server edition?? | 01:26 |
| ilovefairuz | boing: and pastebin the output | 01:26 |
| picard1421 | anyone?? | 01:27 |
| picard1421 | how do you install openbox with KDE? | 01:27 |
| KwikkSilva | ilovefairuz, the machine thats the access point, would it still be able to get out onto the internet wirelessly through my router, as well as being an AP? | 01:27 |
| ilovefairuz | KwikkSilva: yes | 01:27 |
| boing | ilovefairuz, I am trying to fresh install for my laptop | 01:27 |
| KwikkSilva | ilovefairuz, cool thx :-) i'll give it a go! | 01:27 |
| cuongjj | Hey guys! | 01:28 |
| ilovefairuz | KwikkSilva: most drivers support creating more than wireless interface from the same physical interface | 01:28 |
| ilovefairuz | well most free/open source ones | 01:28 |
| picard1421 | anyone iis it apt-get install openbox-kde? how di install the kde version??? | 01:28 |
| KwikkSilva | eee - this one could be sketchy - i was surprised it even worked on ubuntu - its an SUN6500 from Philips | 01:28 |
| KwikkSilva | its using ndiswrapper | 01:29 |
| ilovefairuz | aha | 01:29 |
| * uRock Thinks it is good enough to ask the question once and except that nobody has an answer. | 01:30 | |
| KwikkSilva | awolfson, hi neighbour | 01:30 |
| picard1421 | anyone kde in openbox?? install command? | 01:30 |

| ubottu | picard1421: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 01:30 |
| cuongjj | Sorry picard1421, I dont know the answer | 01:30 |
| jrib | picard1421: umm, what do you mean? openbox is a window manager | 01:31 |
| picard1421 | is kubuntu desktop the lightest KDE based thing>? | 01:31 |
| jrib | picard1421: define "lightest" | 01:31 |
| ilovefairuz | picard1421: don't expect any KDE distro to be light | 01:31 |
| uRock | it is a curse to say light and kde in the same sentence | 01:31 |
| picard1421 | Kk | 01:32 |
| ilovefairuz | KDE 4 is probably the heaviest thing around | 01:32 |

| neekers | thanks | 01:42 |

| ilovefairuz | Flare183: does it immediately ask or after a while? | 01:51 |
| Flare183 | ilovefairuz: right when I try to do anything with ssh using nautilus | 01:51 |

| ilovefairuz | Flare183: so you can connect to localhost using ssh on the command line? | 01:57 |

| Underscore | Hey, I've got a question about installing things on Ubuntu, when in a dual-boot situation with Windows. Namely, when installing something under Wine, does the program clash with the files on Windows? Because it seems that it installs to C:\Program Files. Or is there somewhere else that it's best to install programs like this? | 02:20 |
| alex87 | Out_Cold, yeah. i might add a little web front end as well | 02:20 |
| ilovefairuz | boing: you're confusing me, did you complete installation of new version or not? | 02:21 |
| Out_Cold | alex87, you could write the script and add it to a cron tab and never really worry about it after that. | 02:21 |
| ilovefairuz | Underscore: not at all, has nothing to do with windows files | 02:22 |
| rww | Underscore: c:\ in WINE is actually located in ~/.wine/drive_c/ , and is completely separate from any Windows installation you may also have. | 02:22 |
| bastidrazor | Underscore: wine installs files in ~/.wine they will not have any effect on your windows install | 02:22 |
| alex87 | Out_Cold, yeah. it might need to manage 100+ sites though, but i'm sure that won't be too tricky | 02:22 |

| boing | ilovefairuz, i am showing 216 gb filesystem | 02:24 |
| Out_Cold | alex87, that's where the variables come into good use. that way you put all your website names at the beginning and use a generic written script. | 02:24 |
| ilovefairuz | boing: i see two disks, Disk /dev/sda: 64.0 GB and Disk /dev/sdb: 500.1 GB | 02:24 |
| alex87 | Out_Cold, yeah. i have some specific requirements, so scripting it myself is probably the way to go | 02:24 |
| Mr_Sonoma | oaf, The Ubuntu Restricted Extras will install Adobe Flash Player, Java Runtime Environment (JRE) (sun-java-jre) with Firefox plug-ins (icedtea), a set of Microsoft Fonts (msttcorefonts), multimedia codecs (w32codecs or w64codecs), mp3-compatible encoding (lame), FFMpeg, extra Gstreamer codecs, the package for DVD decoding (libdvdread4, but see below for info on libdvdcss2), the unrar archiver, odbc, and cabextract. It also installs mu | 02:24 |
| Mr_Sonoma | ltiple "stripped" codecs and avutils (libavcodec-unstripped-52 and libavutil-unstripped-49). This is a single command approach. | 02:24 |

| ilovefairuz | boing: so when you were installing, you selected the partitions on the 500? did you select the 216 as root? | 02:33 |
| Underscore | When dual-booting with Windows, can I read and write outside of the Ubuntu install partition? E.g. can I access and save files from my Windows partition (as well as documents) or will I have to make copies into my Ubuntu home directory? | 02:33 |

| ilovefairuz | boing: it has a 216 g partition yes | 02:35 |
| Underscore | Flare183: No, that's not what I meant - I mean, say I have big files in my Windows partition; I don't want to have to copy them over to Ubuntu, but I want to make a change from within Ubuntu. Can I access the file, make the change, and hit save, saving the file where I found it (in the Windows partition)? | 02:35 |

| cjae | Underscore, that will show up in your filesystem, you can do after the install too but cant remember how as I do it upon install, make sure windows (ntfs or fat32 fiflesystem) is on your hard drive at the begginning of it | 02:39 |
| cjae | beginning* | 02:40 |
| boing | ilovefairuz, yes but i think i messed up with where the grub should go this is why i am reinstalling the os again | 02:40 |
| ilovefairuz | boing: no, you can reinstall just grub, did you already start reinstalling? | 02:40 |
| econdudeawesome | ilovefairuz almost worked. I was able to bring up a commandline with grub. What now? | 02:40 |

| Underscore | cjae: Ok :) | 02:42 |
| Out_Cold | sorry... sometimes i get too lazy to scroll back for names | 02:42 |
| cjae | Underscore, sortof partitions need mount points to be able to use them under linux | 02:43 |
| Flare183 | maco: but tarballs have a higher and better compression ratio than zip files do | 02:43 |
| Flare183 | Right? | 02:43 |
| rww | .tar files have no compression whatsoever, actually. | 02:43 |
| Flare183 | rww: but gzip and/bzip2 do | 02:43 |
| Underscore | cjae: So when you say I name it windows, you mean I call my shrunken partition with windows files 'windows', for classification? | 02:43 |
| electro057 | *is horribly confused* Really, how do I get the program to install lol | 02:43 |
| maco | Flare183: if you .tar.bz2 ... but not just plain .tar | 02:43 |
| Flare183 | maco: Well yeah | 02:43 |
| maco | electro057: untar it and see whats inside | 02:44 |

| maco | electro057: it might be stuff to compile...it might be precompiled...it might be scripts... | 02:44 |

| Dr_Willis | econdudeawesome: clarify what you mean. you can have a /boot/ parittion on a hard drive. Normally its the first partition on the drive. but the MBR gets installed tio the mbr of the drive. ie: /dev/sda not /dev/sda1 | 02:48 |
| Out_Cold | electro057, ideally you are looking for files called 'configure' 'program.bin' 'program.sh' but should find info in the README and INSTALL | 02:49 |
| cablop | i need to write alt + numpad combination characters, but can't enable them in ubuntu... how can i? | 02:49 |

| vaneffect | how do i make the fish thing | 02:50 |
| Out_Cold | fulstop_, do you have the dev files? | 02:51 |

| cablop | yes, just that feature | 02:51 |
| vaneffect | the fish tank | 02:51 |
| vaneffect | when u do the desktop cube | 02:51 |
| cablop | do you know how to have it in ubuntu, Dr_Willis ? | 02:51 |
| fulstop_ | Out_Cold: I have gcc, libc6-dev, build-dep linux, and the correct linux-headers-xyz package. | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | vaneffect: check the compuiz effects settings tool. 'ccsm' | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | cablop: nope. I never use it. | 02:51 |
| fulstop_ | i.e. it corresponds with my kernel version. | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | !ccsm | vaneffect | 02:52 |
| ubottu | vaneffect: 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 | 02:52 |
| gryllida | jrib: awesome, I'm reading; could you answer my first question to add to the list of examples? | 02:52 |
| Out_Cold | fulstop_, is there a linux-headers-xyz-dev | 02:52 |
| vaneffect | ok | 02:52 |
| fulstop_ | Out_Cold: there is a -generic and a non-generic. I have installed both. | 02:52 |
| fulstop_ | Out_Cold: in short, I am missing some files in /linux/asm/ | 02:53 |
| cablop | so, no way to have them in linux? i remembered some distro... maybe 10 years ago had them... i wonder why ubuntu lack in them... | 02:53 |
| cablop | :( | 02:53 |
| Out_Cold | not too sure.. i've compiled lots, but never really kernels or modules | 02:54 |
| fulstop_ | cablop, what are you trying to install? | 02:54 |
| fulstop_ | Out_Cold: I've compiled millions of things, even kernel modules.. but the way ubuntu packages kernels / headers is driving me nuts. | 02:54 |

| guampa | Alan502: you can script it, cron is for specific times though | 03:21 |

Running `vbetest' in GRUB (btw I have grub-pc installed, not legacy) showed 1280x1024x32 as being supported, so how can I get it to work? Is there so | 03:23 |

ANyone good with grub? | 03:27 |
| guampa | Alan502: i heard unison is better for two way sync, though rsync can do that too | 03:27 |
| Alan502 | guampa, i'll google unison, how can rsync do that? | 03:27 |
| Mr_Sonoma | gryllida, passwd | 03:27 |
| guampa | Alan502: you can sync in two steps, first from A to B then the other way around | 03:28 |
| guampa | but unison takes care of conflicts better maybe, i didn't use it tho | 03:29 |
| amal | !ig mng | 03:29 |
| Alan502 | guampa, aha, i did thought of that but is there a way rsync can do it running the command only on one computer? | 03:29 |

ANyone good with grub? | 03:29 |
| magicianlord | i use lilo | 03:29 |
| mcurran | grub uses hd0,0 syntax not hda/sda | 03:29 |
| guampa | Alan502: rsync can sync from the computer your'e running it to another computer or viceversa | 03:29 |
| amal | !pics | 03:30 |
| guampa | all you need is to have rsync or ssh on both points | 03:30 |
| econdudeawesome | Is it bad if the only thing I have in /boot is grub? Shouldn't I have some linux kernels there? | 03:30 |
| Alan502 | guampa, mmm... so i would run the command on my laptop to copy its files to my desktop and then my laptop could ssh to my desktop and run the command via ssh? | 03:31 |
| gryllida | Mr_Sonoma. That worked. Thank you. | 03:31 |
| econdudeawesome | mcurran I tried that. I'm following the help file to the letter | 03:32 |
| mcurran | what's your issue? You can't boot a kernel? | 03:32 |
| guampa | Alan502: no..you run the command on your laptop and send files to your desktop, then run it again from your laptop and GET files from your desktop | 03:32 |
| Alan502 | guampa, what's the command to get files? | 03:33 |
| sean74 | hi everyone | 03:33 |
| sean74 | anyone can advice me on ubuntu 10.04 opengl | 03:33 |
| sean74 | how can i check the version? or maybe how can i install opengl? | 03:33 |
| guampa | Alan502: basically rsync <switches - there are a lot> <source> <destination> | 03:34 |
| guampa | so to get files from your desktop source would be your desktop | 03:34 |
| econdudeawesome | mcurran I guess. I had/have a working install and wanted to install another version to a separate partition. Install failed (my mistake), grub ruined. Now I have booted to livecd, reinstalled/reconfigured grub according to the guide, rebooted, and now only see grub | 03:34 |
| Lym | Ok so I want to upgrade to the latest ubuntu but I want to do a fresh install, not just the upgrade, problem is I don't have any blank CD's. But I do have an external hard drive. Is there any way (doesn't have to be easy) that I could boot from the USB and have the image on there? | 03:34 |
| Alan502 | guampa, ahh i get it, i didn't realize i could put ssh on the destination, THANKS A LOT! | 03:35 |
| Lym | Can grub mount a usb filestystem and then load an image from it? | 03:35 |
| guampa | no problem! | 03:35 |
| Alan502 | guampa, it's a lot of help, i'll try it now | 03:35 |
| Alan502 | thanks :D | 03:35 |
| ChogyDan | Lym: why not just use the usb startup disc creator? | 03:35 |
| econdudeawesome | Lym absolutely | 03:35 |
| guampa | good luck! | 03:35 |
| econdudeawesome | mcurran any idea? | 03:36 |
| ChogyDan | Lym: I don't know if it maintains the other data on the drive or whatever... | 03:36 |
| Lym | Yeah thats really important, its got my entire music collection on there | 03:36 |
| Lym | But I am down for partitioning that | 03:36 |
| ChogyDan | econdudeawesome: I think you need to give more details | 03:36 |
| Lym | Where can i find more info on this usb startup disc creator? | 03:37 |
| econdudeawesome | ChogyDan what details would you like | 03:37 |
| ChogyDan | Lym: Sys > Admin > Startup Disc | 03:37 |
| kreeper | what does "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place" mean? | 03:37 |
| ChogyDan | econdudeawesome: er, all of them I suppose. What exactly is happening? You get grub, but that isn't good enough? | 03:38 |
| econdudeawesome | ChodyDan I get the bash form of grub. I was installing Ubuntu minimal and crashed at choosing grub loader (or whatever the option is called) on a second partition of a drive that already has a working Ubuntu install. Then nothing would load. So I reinstalled grub2 via livecd. At restart all I get is the grub command line | 03:39 |

| Ubuntuisloved4 | im trying to upgrade to gnome-shell on a virtual machine just to check it out but the package can't be found even after I open up the apt/sources.list ? any ideas? | 04:25 |
| tripelb | Ubuntuisloved4, symantic never works for me, perhaps there is another way. | 04:25 |
| shell-fu | what's document viewer's shell name?? | 04:26 |

| tripelb | Ubuntuisloved4, sorry then it's beyond me.. my "common sense" says check the package name | 04:26 |
| smackmanic | updated to the newest version of ubuntu..restarted....mount: mouing none on /dev failed: no such device plus a few other errors | 04:27 |
| smackmanic | sends me to busybox | 04:27 |
| ChogyDan | Ubuntuisloved4: it looks like it is in universe. make sure to apt-get update after list changes | 04:27 |
| smackmanic | anyone...? i'm pretty freaked out | 04:28 |
| tripelb | Help all my open program windows are hidden after I minimized them. They do NOT show on the taskbar. There is only a "golden ball" on the left. | 04:28 |
| smackmanic | but i'm sure there's a solution, googled it, lots of people have the same prob but i can't find the solution | 04:28 |
| gryllida | 1/j #debian | 04:29 |
| gryllida | oops | 04:29 |
| tripelb | smackmanic, I'm waiting too. | 04:29 |
| smackmanic | tripelb, what's your prob, i might be able to help..can't promise but.. | 04:29 |
| nickrud | tripelb, try right clickong the menu bar and add to panel -> window list | 04:29 |
| tripelb | Help all my open program windows are hidden after I minimized them. They do NOT show on the taskbar. There is only a "golden ball" on the left. | 04:29 |
| nickrud | erm, *clicking | 04:29 |
| smackmanic | hmm | 04:29 |
| ndevastator | smackmanic have you tried to manually mount the drives ? | 04:30 |
| smackmanic | ndevastator: idk how...kinda not fam with the cmd line | 04:31 |
| ndevastator | smackmanic or is it the main filesystem that wont mount ? | 04:31 |
| smackmanic | well | 04:31 |
| tripelb | nickrud, that worked BUT/AND 1. what is the golden-ball 2. why is .6 of the bar blank after the ball till the next : then 4 window-deals are squished in. | 04:31 |
| smackmanic | it sends me to busy box, the first and main error is mount on /dev failed | 04:31 |
| smackmanic | no such device | 04:31 |
| ndevastator | smackmanic does the system still seem to be running correctly ? | 04:32 |
| ndevastator | smackmanic trying to figure out which mount failed | 04:32 |
| smackmanic | tritium: are you using some sort of custom dekstop ? | 04:32 |
| Oer | tripelb somehowe you played with the hide option ? maybe reset will clear your panel | 04:32 |
| Oer | !resetpanels | 04:32 |
| ubottu | To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 04:32 |
| smackmanic | ndevastator: system still seem to be running correctly in what manner? | 04:33 |
| shell-fu | ,.d | 04:33 |
| smackmanic | tripelb: i would def go with the bot information..i maybe missed all of your info but sounds like you custumized something and its buggy, so you need to reset it | 04:33 |
| shell-fu | how do i open the document viewer for pdfs from the shell terminal??? | 04:33 |
| === jan_cbv is now known as rob_cbv | ||
| smackmanic | ndevastator: what do you mean exactly by running correctly...? | 04:34 |
| ndevastator | smackmanic sec im rereading all your comments | 04:34 |
| ChogyDan | shell-fu: gnome-open is a way that I like | 04:34 |
| ndevastator | smackmanic im not familiar with busy box... after you receive the error message what happens | 04:34 |
| shell-fu | chogydan, thanks | 04:34 |
| smackmanic | ndevastator: i actually get a string of errors basically....then it sends me to busy box....thats about it..i can paste bin if u want? i wrote it down | 04:35 |
| smackmanic | on paper..so i can type it up | 04:35 |
| smackmanic | but in busy box i can't cd to /home...can't sudo anything | 04:35 |
| ndevastator | smackmanic oh so you get a window that shows busy ? that what you mean by busy box | 04:35 |
| smackmanic | not a window im in console | 04:36 |
| smackmanic | startx does not work either | 04:36 |
| ndevastator | smackmanic did you have separate mounts for your filesystem ? | 04:37 |
| smackmanic | ndevastator: i have a dual boot if thats what u mean | 04:37 |
| smackmanic | im in my windows side atm | 04:38 |
| tripelb | smackmanic, no nothing special. I came home and it was like this. I reset the "window list" to show on someone's recommendation. I dont know what.. I just removed the golden ball from the panel. I have no idea what it was. all looks normal now. | 04:38 |
| tripelb | TY world | 04:38 |
| ndevastator | smackmanic so im assuming you are not within your ubuntu filesystem now | 04:40 |
| smackmanic | tripelb: well....glad to hear it seems fixed..yea? | 04:40 |
| ndevastator | smackmanic you said you wrote the errors down does it list which mount fails ? | 04:40 |
| smackmanic | ndevastator: no i'm in windows...i can't do anything in busybox or i don't know what i should be doing anyway | 04:40 |
| smackmanic | yeah | 04:41 |
| smackmanic | lemme type it out | 04:41 |

| boing | i am rescueing grub and at the configuring grub-pc which /dev/sdb1 example do I choice to repair the grub using win7 | 04:42 |
| smackmanic | that should be it, think i wrote it down and typed it correctly | 04:42 |
| ndevastator | hrmm | 04:43 |
| smackmanic | ndevastator: it seems to be a common prob....googled it...but can't find the solution | 04:43 |
| smackmanic | the saddest part is I don't have any blank cds or a livecd | 04:43 |
| smackmanic | heh | 04:43 |
| ndevastator | smackmanic give me a couple minutes here to do some research | 04:44 |

| dustin | no but woman RE NICE | 04:49 |
| juniorCronos | thanks | 04:50 |
| dustin | ur welcome | 04:50 |
| dustin | where is every one? | 04:51 |
| dustin | juniorCronos, | 04:51 |
| juniorCronos | yep | 04:51 |
| nuwan | anyone can tell me how to install python-kde4_4.4.2-0ubuntu2_i386.deb file ? | 04:51 |
| thune3 | nuwan: maybe change your mirror. what mirror are you using? | 04:52 |
| dustin | \i havent seen you here | 04:52 |
| coz_ | numen, double click the package if it is downloaded | 04:52 |
| coz_ | numen, or are you asking where to find it? | 04:52 |
| ndevastator | smackmanic okay from what i can tell it is most likely your boot partition that has become "broken" for lack of a better word | 04:52 |
| smackmanic | right | 04:53 |
| nuwan | well my problem is when i use apt or synaptic it says it cant fetch it | 04:53 |
| dustin | mmm by chance can you tell me what the public wording of that is for ? | 04:53 |
| Oer | nuwan terminal > sudo apt-get install python-kde4 ? this wil load current python-kde4_4.4.2-0ubuntu2_i386.deb | 04:53 |
| ndevastator | smackmanic at this point the only fix i would know would indeed be that you would have to boot from a liveCD and reinstall grub | 04:53 |
| smackmanic | ndevastator: would it be possible to use a 2gig USB sitck | 04:53 |
| ndevastator | smackmanic well yes... but you would have to install the system onto the disk and then set the computer to boot from it | 04:54 |
| nuwan | and i tried that all/ dont work | 04:54 |
| thune3 | nuwan: you could manually fetch it from http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/python-kde4 if you click on i386 at the bottom-left and download from a mirror. | 04:54 |
| smackmanic | ndevastator: man this sounds rough..see the prob is I don't have blank disks and I don't have a lived | 04:54 |
| dustin | what is you os you are running | 04:54 |
| smackmanic | *livecd | 04:54 |
| juniorCronos | my first moment here | 04:54 |
| nuwan | i tried to get it from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/k/kdebindings/ | 04:54 |
| Mr_Sonoma | smackmanic, you could use a 2 gig USB stick sure. there are instructions on making a bootable usb disk on the ubuntu download page | 04:55 |
| nuwan | thune i will try it from htere | 04:55 |
| Mythgarr | Can anybody see this? I think I might be muted | 04:55 |
| Mr_Sonoma | Mythgarr, yes | 04:55 |
| ndevastator | smackmanic you did say you are dual booting ? | 04:55 |
| Mythgarr | Hmm... thanks | 04:55 |
| smackmanic | Mr_Sonoma: yeah im looking it up...but reinstalling grub..that hsould be a fairly straight forward process right? | 04:55 |
| === attila is now known as Guest33162 | ||
| smackmanic | ndevastator: yep | 04:55 |
| smackmanic | ndevastator: only way im talking to you lol | 04:55 |
| dustin | nuwan you know did you setup your bios for it to boot up? | 04:55 |
| ndevastator | smackmanic reinstalling grub isnt very difficult im somewhat noob myself and i did it successfully | 04:55 |
| nuwan | yep | 04:55 |
| `Polarbear | hrmm, i dual boot with OSX, and PC/OS linux | 04:56 |
| smackmanic | ndevastator: what should I look out for..cause im worried ill get there and not no the options I need to set | 04:56 |
| smackmanic | and set the wrong ones and get deeper into messing things up..ya know | 04:56 |
| Mr_Sonoma | smackmanic, yes grub is fairly straight forward. google the process and print it off for your referance if the first time doing it | 04:56 |
| juniorCronos | I had no problem with ubuntu since the use | 04:56 |
| smackmanic | Mr_Sonoma: printer is broken atm! haha...but will write it down | 04:56 |
| boing | anyone good with repairing the grub | 04:56 |
| juniorCronos | so eager to learn more | 04:57 |
| smackmanic | im gonna put on some music while i look this up and prepare to make the plunge.. | 04:57 |
| Mr_Sonoma | boing, what's your grub issue? | 04:57 |
| boing | im stuck at grub loading error: they symbol 'grub_puts_' not found next line grub rescue> | 04:57 |
| akillman1 | join #/cyanogen | 04:57 |
| dustin | good! :) cuz this so much to learn,juniorCronos, | 04:58 |
| smackmanic | Mr_Sonoma and ndevastator: i get the feeling this is the first step..like...this will solve one issue, but will need more help later type of thing...like i dont think its the sole cause | 04:58 |
| smackmanic | but I'll burn that bridge when i get there | 04:58 |
| boing | Mr_Sonoma, so i am using live cd/in the teriminal/root/ then i typed sudo grub but command not found | 04:58 |
| ndevastator | smackmanic i think your best bet would probably be install a boot version of ubuntu on that jump drive | 04:59 |
| ndevastator | smackmanic and then check your disk for errors | 04:59 |
| smackmanic | ndevastator: should i try the grub route first | 04:59 |
| ndevastator | smackmanic well you can but... there is most likely a reason that grub is failing to load it | 05:00 |
| dustin | juniorCronos,there is so much you can do here in ubuntu 10.04 lts and so much more suport then earlier versions that you would spend over $200 and still not get all tha you can do with your computer | 05:00 |
| Mr_Sonoma | boing, uh i'm looking for the list of commands now. but i'm thinking your wanting update-grub | 05:01 |
| ndevastator | smackmanic here is a link to a handy script that you can use to figure out which mount that UUID is | 05:01 |
| guampa | how can i restart gnomepanel? kill -HUP ? | 05:01 |
| tucemiux | smackmanic, if youre trying to set up a hard drive using UUID you can send me a PM | 05:01 |
| smackmanic | tucemiux: i'm not sure what im doing to be honest... | 05:02 |
| Oer | !resetpanel | 05:02 |
| ubottu | To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 05:02 |
| ndevastator | tucemius no he is experiencing a boot error | 05:02 |
| ndevastator | tucemius and a mount is failing to load | 05:02 |
| ndevastator | tucemius and sending him to busybox | 05:02 |
| khider | Ubuntu does not detect my laptop wifi card (bcm 4312 a/b/g) any ideas as to why? Conversely, Damn Small Linux sees it, but cannot activate it | 05:02 |
| guampa | Oer: i just need it to shutdown and start again, not loose the settings | 05:02 |
| tucemiux | ndevastator, you type the first letters of my nick then hit tab, see what happens | 05:02 |
| boing | Mr_Sonoma, i have a fresh install and now i cannot get to anywhere | 05:03 |
| ndevastator | tucemiux, nice =D | 05:03 |
| Oer | guampa logout & login again ? | 05:03 |
| Mr_Sonoma | boing, you cant get anywhere? | 05:03 |
| smackmanic | tucemiux: lol | 05:03 |
| tucemiux | khider, you need to find out if there are drivers for linux | 05:03 |
| smackmanic | this is not good | 05:03 |
| smackmanic | i don't have the space on this windows partition to dl the files for the liveusb | 05:04 |
| ndevastator | smackmanic, ouch =( | 05:04 |
| khider | tucemiux: Broadcom STA-Wireless | 05:04 |
| smackmanic | haha....gotta figure this one out..turn on brain | 05:04 |
| smackmanic | ndevastator: i'll try to figure it out | 05:04 |
| boing | Mr_Sonoma, yes, i am getting a grub rescue error | 05:04 |
| khider | tucemiux: It is not a driver issue, it is an 'OS cannot see it' issue | 05:04 |
| ndevastator | smackmanic, well you have very little options from busybox the best i can tell... honestly I am not very familiar with it | 05:04 |
| boing | so how can I fix this issue it has only been about 5 hours so far trying | 05:05 |
| dustin | then you need codecs | 05:05 |
| khider | tucemiux: I updated the BIOS today, that did not work either | 05:05 |
| tucemiux | khider, you need to find out if your wireless device is supported in linux -- hence the drivers, if you dont have the drivers you wont be able to use it, even if linux can detect it | 05:05 |

| khider | saegeoff: I have a D-Link usb wireless device for the internet--can that work with Ubuntu | 05:23 |
| saegeoff | yeah, it should... you may have to plug your computer in with a ethernet cable first and then download the drivers | 05:24 |
| saegeoff | my wireless didnt work at first until i downloaded the drivers.. i had to physically connect | 05:24 |
| khider | saegeoff: I did that--but it does not recognize the device--nothing really happens when I plug it al in | 05:24 |

| picard1421 | is there an easy install guide for openCV? | 05:33 |
| sparky | dustin with a pimped main page | 05:33 |
| saegeoff | khider, I am not sure. I would have to be doing it myself to figure it out. There were some changes made to the USB aspect of ubuntu since then. Just give it a try and see if it works. Write down everything you do so you can go back if necessary | 05:33 |
| YankDownUnder | openCV? | 05:33 |
| processroute | !opencv | pickard1421 | 05:33 |
| saegeoff | khider, also if you get it working, then you can make a post in the Ubuntu forms to contribute what you figured out | 05:33 |
| carael | YankDownUnder: cant find anythinh | 05:34 |
| khider | saegeoff: I am not that clever with Linux yet, but who knows. Thanks for trying. ; - ) | 05:34 |
| dustin | sparky,you must be new to this, but not irc | 05:34 |
| carael | i ve got all my cisco training in wmv | 05:35 |
| guampa | processroute: so you're finally willing to use iptables? | 05:35 |
| sparky | dustin; i am new to this lol | 05:35 |
| carael | and i don t want tp spend my timme to convert it | 05:35 |
| processroute | guampa: if someone has the code, yep | 05:35 |
| guampa | i guess it depends on what you intend to do, you wanted to do some sort of netscanning iirc? | 05:35 |
| saegeoff | khider, you'll catch on quickly. Linux is fun | 05:36 |
| processroute | guampa: i want to test it on elinks on eth0 and w3m on eth1 | 05:36 |
| kindofabuzz | khider, you took time to learn windows, take time to learn linux, well worth it | 05:36 |

| ryoohki | what is the "chkconfig --list" equivelent for ubuntu? chkconfig is installed but doesn't show many services i know are configured( like eucalyptus for example) and there must be a way to list the services i can turn on and off with update-rc.d | 05:37 |
| pinPoint | there is internet on this box | 05:37 |
| guampa | processroute: lemme check if iptables have something to restrict on app basis | 05:37 |
| dustin | ok good this if you want i can see if i can help up get updated, ubuntu has <cough,cough,> "special things to it that make it trying sometimes hard to get(thats why we are here) but you started in the right place | 05:37 |
| dustin | sparky, ok good this if you want i can see if i can help up get updated, ubuntu has <cough,cough,> "special things to it that make it trying sometimes hard to get(thats why we are here) but you started in the right place | 05:38 |
| guampa | processroute: in the meantime, i know it's not the same but you can force an app to use a specific socks proxy with tsocks or proxychains | 05:38 |
| sparky | well thats good to know :) | 05:39 |
| ryoohki | is there a seperate channel for sysadmin questions for ubuntu? | 05:39 |

| picard1421 | getting ./configure command not found? | 05:39 |
| picard1421 | whats the apt-get for ./configure.. it says i dont have it intalled? | 05:40 |
| processroute | guampa: if not, i will hit up brainstorm.ubuntu.com | 05:40 |

| overtherainbow | Where does network manager store all its configuration files? | 05:41 |
| picard1421 | installing automake now (; | 05:41 |
| guampa | processroute: for a start, theres a match rule that matches packets owned by specific uid/gid, so you can setuid or su - the apps and match that way | 05:41 |

| processroute | guampa: can you post that to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9655540 to me and the world? | 05:42 |

| processroute | picard1421: some programs jump right to make, did you try make command? | 05:43 |
| soreau | picard1421: You have to be in a directory that has a configure script | 05:44 |
| dustin | sparky,hi | 05:44 |
| processroute | soreau: some programs require building the configure script, what other apps besides automake help do that? | 05:45 |

| ubottu | likong: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 05:47 |
| soreau | picard1421: The key is, you have to be in the same directory that configure script is in when you run ./configure | 05:47 |
| soreau | picard1421: And you should never use root to build source | 05:47 |
| picard1421 | yea im in the right directory.. and i can seee the file in scp | 05:47 |
| picard1421 | why not use root? | 05:47 |
| processroute | soreau: and write the file with non-sudo or non-root :) | 05:47 |
| soreau | picard1421: or to do any user tasks (such as configuring building source) | 05:47 |

| soreau | picard1421: You probably screwed up the permissions by using root in the first place | 05:48 |
| soreau | picard1421: It's a really bad idea | 05:48 |
| picard1421 | but why?? | 05:48 |
| soreau | ! root | 05:48 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 05:48 |
| likong | i know | 05:48 |
| soreau | picard1421: For one thing, it's a security issue. And you should not form a habit of using sudo or root because linux is permissions based | 05:49 |
| soreau | picard1421: If you start running user apps as root, it could foil your permissions and then you can have other problems latert | 05:49 |
| processroute | picard1421: using root gives files and processes administrative access to do anything to a system, if you need to use the root account, in terminal, sudo passwd to set it a password and su in terminal to access root | 05:49 |
| picard1421 | kk .. one mroe thing.,. you know when you boot up and you get the ubuntu 10.04 maroon splash screen.. is there anyway to change that .. get a JPEG in background instead of that splash?? | 05:49 |
| processroute | !splash | picard1421 | 05:50 |
| ubottu | picard1421: To change the Gnome splash screen, use gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. | 05:50 |
| picard1421 | its not gnome.. | 05:50 |
| soreau | picard1421: configuring and building source are not administrative tasks. Installing the built project into standard prefix on the filesystem is however | 05:50 |
| picard1421 | its just the normal thing.. i have no GUI.. | 05:50 |
| picard1421 | its just hte marron splash with ubuntu 10.04 | 05:50 |
| picard1421 | before login screen | 05:50 |
| carael | i ve installed as wll mplayerprocessroute: /whois *.jp | 05:51 |

| Faethin | Guys | 06:03 |
| Faethin | Was the volume control applet removed completely from Gnome? | 06:03 |
| cjae | iceroot, that is the real one | 06:03 |
| Faethin | So that only Pulseaudio has it? | 06:03 |
| iceroot | cjae: then go to #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:03 |
| cjae | iceroot, why | 06:04 |
| iceroot | cjae: this is the ubuntu-support-channel | 06:04 |
| picard1421 | so did anyone figure out how to change that splash screen? | 06:04 |
| Faethin | Pulseaudio is always at the bottom of ev'ry problem I've ever had with sound | 06:04 |
| iceroot | Faethin: its just not activated by default in lucid. its called indicator-applet | 06:04 |
| MrPocketz | so I'm totally blanking. If i want to have /dev/sda1 mount to /mnt/something automatically at boot | 06:04 |
| MrPocketz | should i script it in rc.local? | 06:04 |
| MrPocketz | or is there an fstab config i can modify? | 06:05 |
| Faethin | ice799: how do I activate it? | 06:05 |
| Faethin | iceroot: how do I activate it? | 06:05 |
| iceroot | MrPocketz: /etc/fstab | 06:05 |
| iceroot | Faethin: right click on the panel, add applet, then choose the indicator-applet | 06:05 |
| MrPocketz | iceroot, thanks | 06:05 |

| cablop | joeyyyy: anyone with a netbook :P | 06:06 |
| nica | how can i run the speaker test? | 06:06 |
| Faethin | iceroot: I uninstalled pulseaudio because it was messing up my sound and my mic | 06:06 |
| iceroot | cablop: ubuntu-restricted-extras is pulling w32-codecs i guess | 06:06 |
| Faethin | iceroot: does that mean no volume applet for me? | 06:06 |
| iceroot | Faethin: yes, the applet comes from pulseaudio if i am correct | 06:07 |
| Izinucs | Faethin: I have one.. when I right mouse click and "about" it says "Indicator Aplet 0.3.7 | 06:07 |
| Faethin | iceroot: but that was not the case with the previous releases of Ubuntu. I read somewhere that this was a first, just for gnome 2.26 | 06:08 |
| jerrym | hey all! | 06:08 |
| jerrym | how's everyone? | 06:08 |

| maco | nica: open a terminal (type "terminal" in the menu's search thing) and type "speaker-test" in the terminal, then hit enter and listen | 06:09 |
| jerrym | i am new here, but hope to bcome regular | 06:09 |
| nica | ok | 06:10 |
| nica | what info would you like from the speaker test? | 06:10 |
| Izinucs | Faethin: Mine is a stock install.. did you remove pulse? | 06:10 |
| Faethin | Izinucs: I did. It was messing up my sound and mic | 06:11 |
| abhijit | zkriesse, :) | 06:11 |
| zkriesse | Oh hello abhinav_singh | 06:11 |
| Faethin | Izinucs: perhaps it had to do with the fact that I'm using a custom kernel | 06:11 |
| zkriesse | Oh hello abhijit | 06:11 |
| Izinucs | Faethin: could be.. | 06:11 |
| binni | Totem doesn't see my audio cd, I'm using Xubuntu, for some reason Exaile sees it though. | 06:11 |
| guampa | processroute: i'm writing the post... but i'm no native english speaker, + the solution is fairly complex, so i'ts a bit difficult for me to write :) | 06:11 |
| maco | nica: do you hear anything? | 06:11 |
| abhijit | zkriesse, hows you doing? | 06:12 |
| Faethin | Izinucs: which I had to, since my lappy never took off without it unless I turned off ACPI | 06:12 |
| nica | nothing in my speaker or headset | 06:12 |
| maco | nica: run "alsamixer" and check that everything's up and there's nothing with "MM" on it? | 06:12 |
| jerrym | sounds like exhaile comes with the codecs or awareness of your multimedia hardware... | 06:12 |
| Izinucs | Faethin: you didn't need a custom kernel to turn off acpi.. | 06:12 |
| processroute | guampa: ok, when you get a chance, vote on a solution at brainstorm.ubuntu.com when its approved, thanks again | 06:12 |
| binni | oh wait Totem does see it now.. | 06:12 |
| Faethin | Izinucs: of course not. But I wanted ACPI functionality. | 06:13 |
| Izinucs | Faethin: ah | 06:13 |
| Faethin | Izinucs: stoopid pulseaudio ¬¬ | 06:13 |
| binni | but it's not able to play it like Exaile | 06:14 |
| guampa | processroute: isn't brainstorm.ubuntu.com for feature reqs? | 06:14 |
| maco | guampa: yep | 06:14 |
| processroute | guampa: yeah, i think there should be an easy way to do it built in the ubuntu kernel | 06:15 |
| dustin | sparky.< are you here? | 06:17 |
| jerrym | good night everyone. and thanks for the welcome here. will be back again, soon. | 06:17 |
| dustin | good night | 06:17 |
| jerrym | :-) | 06:17 |
| guampa | i don't think forcing a program to use a specific interface fits in that place then...not something that many ppl would want to do imho | 06:18 |
| abhijit | bye | 06:18 |
| processroute | guampa: i don't know why not, seems common place for users that have more than one isp or vpn | 06:20 |
| guampa | to be honest, it is the first time i hear someone want to do that, and anyway if it was so common why aren't there a lot of google results with the answer? | 06:21 |
| Kelson_ | Hey | 06:22 |
| processroute | !hi | Kelson_ | 06:22 |
| ubottu | Kelson_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 06:22 |
| Kelson_ | Does canonical's oft-touted community want to give me some advice | 06:22 |
| processroute | !ask | Kelson_ | 06:22 |
| ubottu | Kelson_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 06:22 |
| Mr_Sonoma | what do you need advice on Kelson_ ? | 06:27 |
| Kelson_ | I'm having trouble installing 10.04 on my Dell studio 1555. I have a 250 gb hard drive, 200gb of which is an ntfs partition with my data, i also have a 100mb ext4 partition that I mount as /boot, a 4gb swap space, and the remaining 46gb i mount as /. I've tried three installs from two separate discs now, and they work just fine, but when i reboot I get an error: "Gave up waiting for root device." does anyone have any suggestions? | 06:27 |
| mintux | I don't have sound icon in applet manager also keyboard language in ubuntu 10.4 | 06:28 |
| iceroot | mintux: add the applet "indicator-applet" to your panel | 06:28 |
| quiescens | um | 06:29 |
| guampa | processroute: there i posted my answer at ubuntuforums | 06:29 |
| quiescens | mm | 06:29 |
| mintux | iceroot: and for keyboard layout ? | 06:29 |
| iceroot | mintux: have a look at the list of applets | 06:29 |
| processroute | guampa: thank you, hopefully they will append the Ubuntu kernel to allow this easier in future releases | 06:29 |
| quiescens | technically | 06:29 |
| quiescens | what you can do is write up something as a preload, that adds the appropriate SO_BINDTODEVICE business to any network calls | 06:30 |
| cablop | is there something better than the default media player? | 06:31 |
| Mr_Sonoma | Kelson_, while i don't disagree with a seperate /boot why do you have it? I typically do a seperate /home partition and thats it. the rest is in / don't know if that's the issue or not. | 06:31 |
| guampa | processroute: youre welcome, if you like the solution i can help you to implement it, just letme know. i don't think it will/should be implemented in kernel space though, instead it's a perfect candidate for a userspace solution | 06:31 |
| Mr_Sonoma | Kelson_, do you get any other error codes that may help in leading to an answer? | 06:31 |
| processroute | quiescens: i saw this somewhere on the internet, let me find that link again | 06:32 |
| processroute | guampa: i'll add that suggestion to brainstorm now | 06:32 |
| mintux | iceroot: I did but where is keyboard ? http://up.iranblog.com/Files1/eb24d218ac1f419c871a.png http://up.iranblog.com/Files1/863946481f00452a9f7d.png | 06:32 |
| quiescens | I'm just thinking along the lines of the more common trickle bandwidth limiter | 06:32 |
| quiescens | where instead of limiting bandwidth use, you can put a SO_BINDTODEVICE flag | 06:32 |
| iceroot | mintux: hm i thought its in that list | 06:33 |
| cablop | cause it hink the default ubuntu mediaplayer is too slow :S | 06:33 |
| iceroot | mintux: but i am not using that applet so i dont know, sorry | 06:33 |
| Kelson_ | Mr_Sonoma, I have the separate /boot partition at the suggestion of a friend, that it might fix the problem I was having. I'm not entirely wedded to the idea of a separate /boot partition. There are no other error codes, after telling me that the problem could be with the boot arguments it j ust gives me a shell | 06:34 |
| mintux | ok | 06:34 |
| quiescens | it would save any kernel trickery and shouldn't need to use superuser privs | 06:35 |
| processroute | guampa: i've been looking for an operator to do this or something for years, but at least today, options as yours exist | 06:35 |
| cablop | is deluge lighter than ktorrent | 06:36 |
| guampa | well rpdb and iptables exist in their actual forms for a couple of years now | 06:36 |
| cablop | i see that deluge is too heavy | 06:36 |
| cablop | i mean ktorrent | 06:36 |
| processroute | quiescens: no, this is the same as attaching PID to an address, not network device, that can be done easier through route | 06:36 |
| Rosbuntu | can anyone help with my screen going black problem? | 06:36 |
| cablop | it's running slow... but maybe cause i'm running it inside gnome | 06:36 |
| Mr_Sonoma | Kelson_, i'm not promising anything, but take a look at this. And possibly follow the link there to the ubuntu community docs on grub2. You may find this useful: http://techgage.com/news/repairing_a_broken_grub_2_boot-loader_on_ubuntu/ | 06:36 |
| processroute | guampa: well, i don't think anyone put the two and two together | 06:36 |
| aLeSD | hi all | 06:37 |
| Kelson_ | Mr_Sonoma, thank you, ill be back on later if that doesn't work. | 06:37 |
| aLeSD | could u suggest me a dockbar ? | 06:37 |
| quiescens | yeah but playing with route and iptables requires superuser normally | 06:37 |
| processroute | Rosbuntu: System -> Preferences -> Power Management | 06:37 |
| guampa | haha, that could be the case. anyway i'm interested in the problem as, odd as it seems for me, it looks a cool resource | 06:37 |
| Rosbuntu | processroute, then | 06:38 |
| guampa | yes it can come in handy when you have 2+ isps or whatnot | 06:38 |
| processroute | Rosubuntu: put display to sleep: Never | 06:38 |
| quiescens | with an appropriately written library, you would be able to do: LD_PRELOAD=nameoflibrary.so IFACE=eth3 (commandline) | 06:38 |
| processroute | guampa: yeah, or an isp and a vpn | 06:38 |
| guampa | yep | 06:39 |
| Rosbuntu | processroute, put it | 06:39 |
| quiescens | processroute: for example, http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-net/msg09560.html is very close | 06:39 |
| processroute | Rosbuntu: put it = set it = select it | 06:39 |
| quiescens | processroute: add a little bit of error handling, and make it so that the interface is set in an environment variable instead of hardcoded | 06:39 |
| Rosbuntu | processroute, selected it and set it | 06:39 |
| Rosbuntu | :D | 06:39 |
| cablop | mmmm | 06:40 |
| cablop | no mediaplayer recommendation? | 06:40 |
| Rosbuntu | processroute, my problem is when my screen goes black i cannot do anything.. i need to restart my pc .. and the black screen happens when i want to deal with some graphics job like turning on screen saver.. or something like this | 06:40 |
| SingAlong | does anyone use ChucK? I tried to install it on my ubuntu 10.04 netbook and used make linux-alsa but it says segmentation fault when I try to run chuck. | 06:40 |
| Kelson_ | Mr_Sonoma, now that I'm on a computer, can you send me that link again? I feel silly for losing it | 06:40 |
| Mr_Sonoma | Kelson_, i'm not promising anything, but take a look at this. And possibly follow the link there to the ubuntu community docs on grub2. You may find this useful: http://techgage.com/news/repairing_a_broken_grub_2_boot-loader_on_ubuntu/ | 06:40 |
| Mr_Sonoma | Kelson_, there you go | 06:41 |
| processroute | Rosbuntu: you can always access various screens with alt+ctrl+FX to toggle to a new screen, try that | 06:41 |
| Kelson_ | cablop, Banshee is a good media player that can be installed via synaptic package manager | 06:41 |
| guampa | processroute: what about intercepting with LD_PRELOAD as quiescens suggests? | 06:41 |
| processroute | Rosbuntu: then to restart X you can sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 06:41 |
| processroute | guampa: i don't follow | 06:41 |
| Rosbuntu | processroute, my computer hangs when the black screen happens and i cant do anything without restarting but hard disk light i can see in my cpu is normal bit | 06:42 |
| cablop | Kelson_: bansee, it'll suit my music needs :P hehe but for video, do you know one | 06:42 |
| Kelson_ | cablop, well, there's always VLC | 06:42 |
| processroute | Rosbuntu: oh, i have had that happen on occasion, good question, usually i have to alt+ctrl+del to restart it when that happens, as this is ok for a casual user | 06:42 |
| processroute | guampa: where http://daniel-lange.com/archives/53-Binding-applications-to-a-specific-IP.html binds to an IP though, not a network device/interface | 06:43 |
| shawnboy | Can someone help me rename multiple directories? I've googled but not found anything that seems to match what I need. | 06:43 |
| Rosbuntu | processroute, but u know its disgusting it happens anytime.. like it happens when i m chating with my frnds.. and if i restart my pc that means i sign off.. man its really mean to my frnd | 06:44 |
| processroute | guampa: is binddev a variable? | 06:44 |
| shawnboy | I want to rename sever directories from 123-xyz to 987-xyz | 06:44 |
| saegeoff | shawnboy, use a scripting language | 06:44 |
| quiescens | guampa: oh wait, bindtodevice still requires privelidges, i suppose both solutions require elevated privelidge | 06:44 |
| processroute | Rosbuntu: is this the error you get: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=869245 | 06:44 |
| guampa | processroute: no, it refers to the device you would be forcing calls to socket() to bind to | 06:44 |
| dustin | hi yall | 06:45 |
| shawnboy | actually it's more like 123-xyz-disc-1 , disc-2, disc-3 | 06:45 |
| saegeoff | shawnboy, I have had to do things like that in the past and I did scripts I made in gedit | 06:45 |
| shawnboy | saegeoff, does perl come out of the box with ubuntu? I hate to install something just for this. | 06:46 |
| ghostpadxa | The brightness applet is not working.can anybody help me please? | 06:47 |
| saegeoff | Shawnboy: I dont think you need perl. Personally, I would use python before perl. Though, I don't believe you should need either. Look up on writing basic terminal scripts online | 06:47 |
| processroute | !brightness | ghostpadxa | 06:47 |
| processroute | ghostpadxa: are you on a HP 6735s? | 06:48 |
| Rosbuntu | processroute, he can access his terminal i cannot access my terminal | 06:48 |
| Rosbuntu | when the black screen happens | 06:48 |
| shawnboy | saegeoff, most use reg expressions, which make my brain hurt. | 06:48 |
| ghostpadxa | processroute: no p co | 06:48 |
| saegeoff | shawnboy: I dont know if this is useful or not, I just found it in a quick search. http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html | 06:49 |
| shawnboy | I'll take a look. thanks saegeoff | 06:49 |
| ponraj | hai | 06:49 |
| saegeoff | shawnboy: no problem... It may take you as long to learn it as it would just to manually do it. Though its probably worth learning this now because it will pay off down the road. | 06:50 |
| processroute | Rosbuntu: does the screenblanking accompany the screensaver initalizing | 06:50 |
| processroute | !hi | ponraj | 06:50 |
| ubottu | ponraj: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 06:50 |
| Rosbuntu | processroute, no | 06:50 |
| bevil | hello | 06:51 |
| Rosbuntu | processroute, its goes black and there are vertical lighting in half of the screen | 06:51 |
| ponraj | about telnet | 06:51 |
| shawnboy | saegeoff, that's what I thought... I could've had it done by now, but I don't like not knowing how to do it the "better" way. | 06:51 |
| processroute | Rosbuntu: http://www.hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=512912 this person's screen went black and had verticle lighting in half the screen | 06:52 |
| bevil | how can i use chinese input method with scim? the C-space switch doesn't work here. I've also added a startscim.sh in Autostart/ | 06:52 |
| Rosbuntu | processroute, ok | 06:52 |
| saegeoff | shawnboy: yeah me too. its worth learning for these silly projects | 06:52 |
| bevil | any idea? | 06:52 |
| bazhang | bevil, use ibus, its replacing scim | 06:52 |
| Mr_Sonoma | Kelson_, was that of any help? | 06:53 |
| processroute | Rosbuntu: here is that page unlocked: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:jJscz3JEpYoJ:www.hackforums.net/showthread.php%3Ftid%3D512912+http://www.hackforums.net/showthread.php%3Ftid%3D512912&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us | 06:53 |
| processroute | Rosbuntu: also, you might want to follow this thread via email (and add yourself to the users encountering this bug): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/578167 | 06:56 |
| Rosbuntu | ok | 06:56 |
| Jordan_U | Kelson_: Try adding the "rootwait" kernel parameter at boot (hold shift to get the grub menu, press 'e' to edit the entry, press ctrl+X to boot the edited entry). | 06:57 |
| bevil | bazhang: ibus is cool, but can't find it in the mirror. | 06:57 |
| Kelson_ | Jordan_U thank you, i just read a line in a help article that said the same thing :P | 06:57 |
| bazhang | bevil, make sure the main repos are enabled in software sources | 06:57 |
| Jordan_U | bevil: It's installed by default, what version of Ubuntu are you using? | 06:57 |
| bazhang | bevil, its in main | 06:58 |
| bevil | Jordan_U: 8.10 | 06:58 |
| aswin | is ther a way to turn off backlight in laptop keyboard in linux? | 06:58 |
| Jordan_U | bevil: Any reason you havent upgraded to 10.04? | 06:58 |
| bevil | Jordan_U: mine is another dist based on ubuntu | 06:59 |
| Jordan_U | !mint | bevil | 06:59 |
| ubottu | bevil: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) | 06:59 |
| bevil | thanks, so i should get the scim work for me | 06:59 |
| bazhang | bevil, get to the channel of your distro; which one is it | 07:00 |
| bevil | bazhang: ok | 07:00 |
| aswin | cn i turn of backlight in keyboards? | 07:00 |
| saegeoff | aswin: can't you turn that off in your bios settings ? | 07:01 |
| Jordan_U | bevil: Even if you were actually using Ubuntu, I don't think that 8.10 is even supported any more (so it's not even getting security updates). | 07:01 |
| rkj | hello, I recently did a routine software update on my ubuntu 8.04 system and since then, I cannot get flash video to play in firefox (or knoquerer for that matter) | 07:01 |
| rkj | anybody know how to fix it? | 07:01 |
| fishcooker | i want to login manager standalone | 07:01 |
| fishcooker | the simple one | 07:01 |
| fishcooker | any reference | 07:02 |
| saegeoff | aswin: ubuntu probably wont support something proprietary like that. | 07:02 |
| aswin | too bad :( | 07:02 |
| aswin | thnx sageoff | 07:02 |
| Jordan_U | aswin: It depends on the laptop / keyboard. (I can controll the backlight on my laptop's keyboard). | 07:02 |
| Rosbuntu | processroute they dont help :( | 07:03 |
| aswin | i'm able to use te rest of function like reducing brightness,turning on wifi,mute nd all..but the button for backlight doesnt work | 07:03 |
| aswin | yesterday wen i closed the lid of my laptop ubuntu got stuck?is it a problem on my side or is it ubuntu's problem? | 07:04 |
| saegeoff | aswin: thats probably because its too rare to support. Give it a few years, i think they will become more popular and better supported | 07:04 |
| aswin | k | 07:04 |
| saegeoff | aswin: what got stuck? | 07:04 |
| aswin | the os?not the lid :) the system just hanged..i couldnt get it back running nd i forced it to shut dwn | 07:05 |
| MaRk-I | aswin: check in power management settings if it's set up to suspend/hibernate when closing lid, and change it to blank screen instead | 07:05 |
| masoncloud | Could someone please advise which netboot works best with Ubuntu? Does System76 put together nice machnes? | 07:06 |
| maco | masoncloud: yes they do | 07:06 |
| masoncloud | @maco, thank you! | 07:07 |
| maco | masoncloud: i just got a zareason terra hd which i like quite a lot, though i was one of the first to get it, so i know theyre already working on fixing the couple (minor) bugs the first two of us hit | 07:07 |
| aswin | it was set to suspend on closing lid | 07:07 |
| maco | masoncloud: and by first to get it, i mean it was released last week ;-) | 07:07 |
| maco | masoncloud: id expect within a couple weeks itll be perfect | 07:07 |
| maco | masoncloud: ive heard of no bugs with zareason's teo | 07:08 |
| masoncloud | maco, lol. I'm still currently one my ASUS 701 with 4GB SSD, lol! I have been on Zareason's & System76's websites allot lately | 07:09 |
| maco | masoncloud: the minor bug on the terra is that i have to click the "suspend" option in the machine instead of just closing the lid...which is what i usually do anyway | 07:09 |
| rkj | aswin that's been my experience too, at least ubuntu 8.04 - the suspend/hibernate modes basically don't work reliably, so I reverted to just blanking the screen | 07:09 |
| maco | masoncloud: er in the os i mean. i havent tried the keyboard button | 07:09 |
| rkj | aswin the screen is about half the power consumption of the laptop | 07:09 |
| maco | masoncloud: if you join #zareason, cheri has a teo and solarion and i have terras, if you want to hear from users | 07:10 |
| masoncloud | maco, thank you so much for the info! | 07:11 |
| Jarhead | Hello, i need help with a vpn issue | 07:11 |
| maco | masoncloud: np. im a big fan of buying linux systems and supporting companies that support us | 07:11 |
| masoncloud | DITTO, I've been a HUGE fan of this little guy (ASUS 701) but it's time for a bigger screen res, lol | 07:13 |
| maco | masoncloud: ouch and a bigger keyboard | 07:13 |
| masoncloud | maco > Yup, that too, you have a greaat night and again, thank you! | 07:14 |
| raddy | Hello Everybody | 07:15 |
| Jarhead | hi | 07:15 |
| raddy | Isn't there an updated PPA for tracker? | 07:15 |
| raddy | The current Tracker team ppa still has a very old version. | 07:15 |
| xangua | then try the unstable ppa raddy | 07:15 |
| raddy | xangua: unstable ppa has a old version of unstable branch. | 07:16 |
| Jarhead | Why cant i connect to anything "google" | 07:16 |
| plum-mobile | Hey guys | 07:22 |
| plum-mobile | My dad is trying to install ubuntu from his laptop | 07:22 |
| plum-mobile | The progress bar is stuck at 79 | 07:22 |
| saegeoff | plum-mobile: from or to? | 07:22 |
| plum-mobile | saegeoff: to | 07:22 |
| plum-mobile | Sorry I should have clarified :x | 07:23 |
| |ns|nR8 | tried another disc plum-mobile ? | 07:23 |
| plum-mobile | It says "Retrieving file 13 of 28" | 07:23 |
| saegeoff | plum-mobile: dual booting or single boot? | 07:23 |
| plum-mobile | saegeoff: dual booting | 07:23 |
| kuku | hi | 07:23 |
| fiber | hi.... i was wondering what the name for the program is to change the restricted drivers. I downgraded the graphics driver and now i can only see half the screen (and can't get back to the window!). | 07:23 |
| saegeoff | plum: it may be trying to download from the repos online. | 07:23 |
| plum-mobile | |ns|nR8: I used the same disk and it worked on mine... | 07:24 |
| saegeoff | plum-mobile: how long has it been stuck? | 07:24 |
| plum-mobile | saegeoff: it has been there for almost an hour at 79%, but the number of files its retrieving changes. | 07:24 |
| plum-mobile | Now this is about a 5 year old laptop btw | 07:25 |
| |ns|nR8 | plum-mobile has it got network cable plugged into it ? | 07:25 |
| fiber | can someone please check what the program name for the gui to change the restricted drivers is (the one in system->administration) | 07:25 |
| maco | fiber: jockey | 07:25 |
| saegeoff | plum-mobile: its just downloading files really slow. you have have to just let it go for a long time | 07:26 |
| fiber | maco: thanks! | 07:26 |
| Jarhead | Hey, I'm having problems with my vpn connection, it seems that google traffic wont go through it.... | 07:26 |
| Guest65266 | update to lucid made it impossible to mount my card reader, have tried many fixes from the forum, no joy, any ideas? | 07:26 |
| saegeoff | plum-mobile: if it is changing the files then it is downloading, just slowly | 07:26 |
| plum-mobile | I didn't know ubuntu had to download files...what happens if you press Skip? | 07:27 |
| saegeoff | plum-mobile: it will just postpone the updates until a later time. you can press that | 07:27 |
| plum-mobile | Sweet | 07:27 |
| saegeoff | plum-mobile: I do suggest you get the updates installed asap though. | 07:28 |
| plum-mobile | saegeoff: so is it actually updating to a newer version of ubuntu then? | 07:28 |
| rkj | jarhead is there any chance you have some sort of tunneling setup that doesn't allow external sites from your provate network? | 07:28 |
| gryllida | How do I archive a directory? | 07:28 |
| Marco01 | hey guise sorry to nag you with this. I'm using ubuntu to recover some files from a damaged HD in an old toshiba laptop. The lappy tells me she it will take her like 60 hours to copy all the files. She's been doing progress, and the stimate seems to be right. It's been on now for some 8 hours. Should I put it to rest some time, or can I just leave it working, like I would do with a desktop pc? | 07:28 |
| gryllida | in Terminal | 07:28 |
| Jarhead | i'm a begginner.... | 07:28 |
| gryllida | me too | 07:28 |
| saegeoff | plum-mobile: not necessarily. It is just getting the recent updates | 07:28 |
| dustin | welcome newbies | 07:28 |
| gryllida | :) | 07:28 |
| Jarhead | i can see certain websites, but they always get hung up at "conneting to www.google.com" | 07:29 |
| plum-mobile | saegeoff: thank you for the help on this. We will keep watching it | 07:29 |
| marekt | hi, i have my laptop connected to wifi network, can i still share internet connection to other computer via wifi? | 07:30 |
| saegeoff | Marco01: just let it run, there should be no problems. | 07:30 |
| saegeoff | plum-mobile: good luck! | 07:30 |

| Jarhead | how do i do that? | 07:30 |
| testy | Hello, is there a way to permantly block websites in ubuntu(like forever)? I know about the /etc/hosts file but It's still possible for someone to change this file and unblock websites. Any ideas? Thank you | 07:30 |

| Marco01 | thanks a lot saegeoff! | 07:31 |
| plum-mobile | How does the wireless driver get the WEP to connect and download the updates if its installing? | 07:31 |
| rkj | jarhead in a terminal window, type "ping google.com" and it will send test packets and wait for a response. It will keep doing that until you press ctrl-c. | 07:31 |
| Guest65266 | since lucid upgrade I can see my card reader via lsusb but not my card via fdisk -l, how to find it? | 07:32 |
| kuku | hi i am using ubuntu 10.10 i386 . is there any 64bit version? | 07:32 |
| Jarhead | ok, i'll fire up the vpn and try | 07:32 |
| saegeoff | plum-mobile: good question. maybe it isnt connected and it just is attempting each file until it times out on each attempt. Just skip that process for now | 07:32 |
| mintux | I got a lot of error when I try to install theme on ubuntu . is it possible to install theme manually means extract it and put right where | 07:32 |
| kronos23 | hola a todos | 07:32 |

| dustin | yes you can | 07:33 |
| kronos23 | alguna mujer para charlar??? | 07:34 |
| plum-mobile | It seems to be lagging now that Skip was pressed | 07:34 |
| Jarhead | the ping came back fine... | 07:34 |
| kronos23 | no tengo sueño | 07:34 |
| mintux | errors like : "Vista" does not appear to be a valid theme. | Can't move directory over directory | Insufficient permissions to install the theme in: /home/mrg/.themes | 07:34 |

| mintux | dustin: I want to install themes that I downloaded but I got a lot of errors | 07:37 |
| jefimenko | i'm in the middle of an ubuntu install at a point where it's asking me which partition to install grub on. no matter what i select, the following page tells me that i haven't chosen any partitions to install grub to and asks me to confirm. is there any way that i can manually install grub from here to ensure that my system reboots properly? | 07:37 |
| mintux | so if I can do it manually like extract it | 07:38 |
| mintux | it's helpful | 07:38 |
| gryllida | Guest65266, I thought it's 'o+r' | 07:38 |

| staar2 | ok i got problem with fonts in web page these are too small by default, where i can set larger ? | 07:39 |
| Docteh | might want to try a dictionary for that ghostpadxa | 07:40 |
| Docteh | !hackers | 07:40 |
| Sleepwalker_Dima | Installation kernel panic old server IBM (It working with debian) | 07:40 |
| ghostpadxa | ok i want to a hacker | 07:41 |
| saegeoff | Sleepwalker_Dima: this is not focused on servers. are you trying to install ubuntu server | 07:41 |
| Sleepwalker_Dima | Yes | 07:41 |
| PureSine | Hi, I have a hard disk that I want to be used by users, when a user tries to access it it gives message unable to mount the disk not authorized. I went to admin account and executed sudo chown username /media/ HDDname and it was OK then but after I restarted the system again it gives me the same message that I'm not authorized ! I have to mention that II'm very new to linux | 07:41 |
| Guest65266 | there are no 1337 haX0rs here | 07:41 |
| Docteh | ghostpadxa: you want to be one? | 07:41 |
| Sleepwalker_Dima | XD | 07:41 |
| ghostpadxa | Doctech: yer | 07:41 |
| sweetpi | ghostpadxa: kernel.org have at it | 07:42 |
| Sleepwalker_Dima | XD a litle lamer is borning | 07:42 |
| norman_ | hola como hago para que xubuntu tenga sonido | 07:42 |
| Docteh | PureSine: what fs is it? | 07:42 |
| sweetpi | !es | norman_ | 07:42 |
| ubottu | norman_: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 07:42 |
| PureSine | doctech How can I see that ? I used the defaults | 07:42 |
| Sleepwalker_Dima | During installation kernel panic on hardware detect | 07:43 |
| Docteh | i guess you could just look at /proc/mounts | 07:43 |
| saegeoff | Sleepwalker_Dima: Sorry, I cannot help you. That seems to be a specific case that you will have to ask someone with experience in that field. Try to server chatroom or the message boards | 07:43 |
| Sleepwalker_Dima | kk Thx ^^ | 07:43 |
| ghostpadxa | sweetpi: ok i have connected to that site wats next | 07:44 |
| Sleepwalker_Dima | Now i try with 8.04 | 07:44 |
| Docteh | what version did you try first Sleepwalker_Dima | 07:44 |
| saegeoff | Sleepwalker_Dima: why not use 10.04? | 07:44 |
| Sleepwalker_Dima | It crash on installation XD | 07:44 |
| sweetpi | ghostpadxa: download the latest kernel source | 07:44 |
| Docteh | Sleepwalker_Dima: which cd? | 07:44 |
| Sleepwalker_Dima | All cd XD ubuntu server; Ubuntu; Kubuntu....Debian work | 07:45 |
| testy | So, isn't there a program in ubuntu to block a website permantly ? forever ... for example to be able to unblock it with a passowrd and you could a random password so you could never be able to unblock this site again? | 07:45 |
| saegeoff | Sleepwalker_Dima: redownload the image and reburn the disk.. make sure you are using the right version 32 or 64 | 07:45 |
| ghostpadxa | sweetpi: wat next | 07:45 |
| Sleepwalker_Dima | But all 10 | 07:45 |
| Docteh | ouch | 07:45 |
| sweetpi | ghostpadxa: open a terminal and type "echo Fail" | 07:45 |
| PureSine | Docteh, nothing that I understand there, should I paste it in a paste bin ? my HDD name not mentioned in the file | 07:45 |
| Sleepwalker_Dima | Yep I'm not noob | 07:45 |
| Sleepwalker_Dima | But It is a driver problem | 07:46 |
| ghostpadxa | sweetpi: yer | 07:46 |
| saegeoff | Sleepwalker_Dima: I had trouble with an image of 10 once.. redownloaded and it ran fine... version 10 will be much easier for you to get the correct drivers you need | 07:46 |
| Sleepwalker_Dima | I'm 95% sere | 07:46 |
| Docteh | PureSine: mount the hard drive for sures then try it | 07:46 |
| Sleepwalker_Dima | sure* | 07:46 |
| norman_ | how to activate sound xubuntu | 07:46 |
| PureSine | Docteh, how should I do that ? | 07:46 |
| Sleepwalker_Dima | But 10 don't work -.- | 07:46 |
| Sleepwalker_Dima | I try with 2 Cds | 07:47 |
| Sleepwalker_Dima | Of ubuntu server 10 | 07:47 |
| Docteh | Sleepwalker_Dima: you could debootstrap ubuntu from a debian live cd if you really want ubuntu, also hardware detection leading to panic sounds like a good thing to bug report | 07:47 |
| ghostpadxa | sweetpi: wats next | 07:47 |
| ghostpadxa | ssh | 07:47 |
| Docteh | PureSine: mount /dev/<something> /media/somewhere | 07:47 |
| sweetpi | ghostpadxa: thats it. congrats your a 1377 h4x0r | 07:47 |
| Docteh | actually | 07:48 |
| Sleepwalker_Dima | I shuld to read the terminal on F1 | 07:48 |
| Docteh | PureSine: click around til you can access it and then look at where the file manager is | 07:48 |
| ghostpadxa | sweetpi: thats not hacking | 07:48 |
| sweetpi | ghostpadxa: your likely not to get help here for either definition of "hacking" | 07:48 |
| Docteh | <-- not a gui user | 07:48 |
| Sleepwalker_Dima | (pvt comand?) | 07:48 |
| Sleepwalker_Dima | synthax for pvt? | 07:49 |
| ghostpadxa | sweetpi: thats kwl but you hw to | 07:49 |
| sweetpi | !hacking | ghostpadxa | 07:50 |
| ubottu | ghostpadxa: A hacker is a person who delights in having an intimate understanding of the internal workings of a system, computers and computer networks in particular, as defined by Request for Comments (RFC) 1392 - i.e. a good programmer -- crackers on the other hand break systems, see also !piracy | 07:50 |
| saegeoff | ghostpadxa: go to Carnegie Mellon University | 07:50 |
| ghostpadxa | ubottu : thats kwl | 07:50 |
| Docteh | !botsnack | 07:51 |
| ubottu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 07:51 |
| Guest65266 | any ideas on how to mount a card reader that fdisk -l can't find .... lsusb finds the reader but card can't be found only in lucid worked fine before upgrade | 07:51 |
| ghostpadxa | saegeoff: wats u r ip addr | 07:51 |
| sweetpi | !ot | ghostpadxa | 07:51 |
| ubottu | ghostpadxa: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 07:51 |
| PureSine | Docteh, I clicked on the dist and it asked for admin password and I eneted it and now it is accessible from user account, but I don't want each time to enter admin password | 07:52 |
| Docteh | Guest65266: look at dmesg, might want to remove, reinsert card | 07:52 |
| antonio_2 | hey everyone | 07:52 |
| Sleepwalker_Dima | Do you know VXA2 tape? | 07:52 |
| Docteh | PureSine: yea so do that right now so you can get information on what file system it is | 07:52 |
| saegeoff | ghostpadxa: why do you want my IP address? | 07:53 |
| Guest65266 | Docteh thatnks, tried dmesg,: READ CAPACITY failed | 07:53 |
| Docteh | proc mounts gives you like "/dev/sdc1 /media/blahblahblah ntfs-3g ....." | 07:53 |
| Docteh | Guest65266: eeeeeek | 07:53 |
| Docteh | try blowing on it like a nes cart | 07:54 |
| Guest65266 | also "sense not available" which, um doesn't make sense :-) | 07:54 |
| jefimenko | i'm in the middle of an ubuntu install at a point where it's asking me which partition to install grub on. no matter what i select, the following page tells me that i haven't chosen any partitions to install grub to and asks me to confirm. is there any way that i can manually install grub from here to ensure that my system reboots properly? | 07:54 |
| PureSine | Docteh, in proc/mount => /dev/sdb1 /media/Downloads ext4 | 07:54 |
| Guest65266 | hostbyte=DID_NO_CONNECT driverbyte=DRIVER_OK | 07:55 |
| jefimenko | is there a way to go back to a previous step in the installation process or to escape to a shell in the installer environment to manually install grub? | 07:55 |
| Docteh_ | jefimenko: alt+f2? | 07:55 |
| PureSine | Docteh_ , in proc/mount => /dev/sdb1 /media/Downloads ext4 (Download is my HDD name) | 07:55 |
| ghostpadxa | saegeoff: just wanna know it | 07:55 |
| jefimenko | Docteh_: that works, but i'm not familiar with the installer environment. where is the current installation mounted to, etc. | 07:56 |
| Docteh_ | PureSine: odd, so chowning it should stick, unless you're moving it to different computers with different user ids | 07:56 |
| saegeoff | ghostpadxa: 41.119.193.108 | 07:56 |
| Docteh_ | jefimenko: it probably does /target | 07:56 |
| Lym | ok so on ubuntu website it has a bit on making a usb image for a thumb drive? would the same process work for an external hd? | 07:56 |
| Docteh_ | chroot /target /bin/bash | 07:56 |
| Docteh_ | Lym: yup | 07:57 |
| ghostpadxa | saegeoff: thanz | 07:57 |
| Sleepwalker_Dima | bb Guys thx for help I try debootstrap ^^ | 07:57 |
| PureSine | Another question, How can I enter sudo commands from user terminal and give admin password, currently I can't perform sudo commands even if I give admin password, it says I'm not Sudoer | 07:58 |
| saegeoff | ghostpadxa: you're obviously a fool. that is your ipaddress you moron. stop trying to hack because you are clearly bad at it. | 07:58 |
| Docteh_ | Sleepwalker_Dima: "dpkg-reconfigure -a" might be useful to run | 07:58 |
| saegeoff | ghostpadxa: please leave this chat room, no one here is going to help you learn how to hack | 07:58 |
| Docteh_ | PureSine: usually sudo asks for your passord, su - asks for root password (which is not set by default, also ubuntu peeps hate running as root blah blah blah) | 07:59 |
| sweetpi | saegeoff: you should have let him waste his time. would have been priceless when he realized it on his own :) | 07:59 |
| jefimenko | Docteh_: thanks, i think i've got it from here | 07:59 |
| saegeoff | sweetpi: hahaha | 07:59 |
| Docteh_ | PureSine: editing /etc/sudoers is on your horizon | 07:59 |
| Docteh_ | or fiddling with groups i guess | 07:59 |
| Docteh_ | jefimenko: coolbeans | 08:00 |
| magnetron | PureSine: use "visudo" from a real sudo account, add the new sudo account in there | 08:00 |
| magnetron | PureSine: or just open the "Users and groups" and make the user an Admin account | 08:00 |
| Docteh_ | does using visudo make a backup of /etc/sudoers? | 08:01 |
| ghostpadxa | saegeoff: wat ever | 08:01 |
| PureSine | Docteh_, magnetron, sudo asks for my password but then says I'm not sudoer, if I add my user account to admin group or sudo group have I compromised security ? | 08:01 |
| okookokih | on 10.04, I am trying to install snd-dummy - I believe it should work : modprobe snd-dummy out of the box, however I tried compiling (which worked btw) a newer patch to it, despite compiling and "installing" to the location /lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic-pae/kernel/sound/drivers/snd-dummy.ko it won't modprobe. Now I moved it from there, it says cannot find it... how can I revert to the out-of-the-box package for snd-dummy? | 08:01 |
| Guest65266 | docteh blowing on the card didn't help (well I didn't try it but I suspect it doesn't) any other ideas, this card works fine in other machines only on lucid it doesn't | 08:02 |
| saegeoff | ghostpadxa: did you figure it out yet? lol | 08:02 |
| Guest65266 | and other usb mounting has probs | 08:02 |
| ghostpadxa | saegeoff: yeah so | 08:02 |
| okookokih | 10.04, snd-dummy, get | 08:03 |
| Docteh_ | hopefully not a hardware problem Guest65266 | 08:03 |
| WarrenSH | ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/teams/art.gnome.org/backgrounds/ | 08:03 |
| Docteh_ | actually i killed a usb controller with an mp3 player once | 08:03 |
| Guest65266 | docteh worked fine prior to lucid update | 08:03 |
| Docteh_ | hmmm | 08:03 |
| Guest65266 | I can't read the card via card reader or via canon usb cord | 08:03 |
| Docteh_ | updates to kernel? | 08:04 |
| Guest65266 | everything at latest kernel | 08:04 |
| Docteh_ | did you try an older kernel option in grub menu? | 08:04 |
| Guest65266 | hmm, that's a thought | 08:05 |
| Seveas-train | Guest65266, usb related errors in dmesg (so, device found but not readable) or nothing at all (device not detected) | 08:05 |
| Seveas-train | ? | 08:05 |
| Docteh_ | did you try an older kernel option in grub menu? | 08:06 |
| Guest65266 | k, thanks Docteh, off to reboot with different kernel | 08:06 |
| Docteh_ | that whas whoops | 08:06 |
| === jan247_ is now known as jan247 | ||
| joeyyyy | any one used a Foxconn R40-D2 Intel Atom D510 | 08:07 |
| Docteh_ | been thinking about getting one, any horrible issues? | 08:07 |
| Guest65266 | Seveas-train : Device offlined - not reeady after error recovery ... [sdd] READ CAPACITY failed | 08:07 |
| Seveas-train | have you tried the device on another computer? | 08:08 |
| joeyyyy | i been lookinh at them on newegg | 08:08 |
| Docteh_ | heh even a dead hdd can usually respond to that | 08:08 |
| Guest65266 | yes and it works | 08:08 |
| Seveas-train | ok | 08:08 |
| Guest65266 | it worked on this computer before lucid upgrade | 08:08 |
| dart | compiz is tearing my desktop...how can i prevent this | 08:08 |
| Guest65266 | lsusb finds card reader but fdisk -l doesn't find the disk | 08:08 |
| Guest65266 | s/disk/card | 08:09 |
| Seveas-train | kernel it is then. Maybe try a maverick live cd? Also please file a bug. | 08:09 |
| Guest65266 | k, I've seen similar bugs but not sure this is any of them, will try different kernel and file report | 08:09 |
| Guest65266 | thansk | 08:09 |
| Docteh_ | i'd double check and make sure the usb controller didn't suicide, then file a bug | 08:09 |
| Seveas-train | Guest65266, make sure you put the lsusb info and all error messages in there | 08:10 |
| dart | there is a lot of visual tearing when i play videos or play games....is compiz responsible for this....how do i fix this? | 08:10 |
| Guest65266 | how check the usb controller? it seems fine with lsusb and my mouse and keyboard are plugged into same usb hub | 08:10 |
| Docteh_ | dart: you're sure compiz is up? | 08:10 |
| EvRide | hey guys, i have a netbook that does not have a cd drive, and cannot boot from USB | 08:10 |
| dart | yeah | 08:10 |
| dart | someone told me to match compiz refresh rate to monitors refresh rate on a blog | 08:11 |
| Seveas-train | EvRide, that's pretty lame. Haven't seen one yet that can't boot from usb. Which model? | 08:11 |
| EvRide | right now i have ubuntu installed with wubi, but i want to install ubuntu on its own partition | 08:11 |
| Docteh_ | Guest65266: those guys might be 1.1 devices, got any other usb 2.0 flash things or hard drives? | 08:11 |
| Guest65266 | yeah 2.0 flash works | 08:11 |
| EvRide | toshiba nb255 | 08:11 |
| EvRide | ya, its pretty lame alright | 08:11 |
| dart | Docteh_, someone told me to match compiz refresh rate to monitors refresh rate on a blog | 08:12 |
| EvRide | but anyways, how do i get grub to boot from usb? im having problems with it | 08:12 |
| jefimenko | Docteh_: it worked :) | 08:12 |
| slidinghorn | so i actually have a question for once...every time I try to do an update/upgrade/installation on my *old* laptop (i think it's on intrepid) it gives me a "bus error" with no addt'l info. haven't checked dmesg -- does that point to hardware? | 08:12 |
| Docteh_ | slidinghorn: it could be a stupid gui problem unless you're doing it from the cli | 08:13 |
| slidinghorn | Docteh_, yeah i'm in terminal -- i try to stay away from gui when i can to "toughen myself up" lol | 08:14 |
| Legendary_Bibo | If I downgrade to Ati Catalyst 10.6 or perhaps 10.5 will my artifacting cease? | 08:14 |
| sweetpi | EvRide: did you check the bios to make sure you cant boot from usb. I havent seen a computer in many years that couldnt | 08:14 |
| Docteh_ | EvRide: i'd suggest checking out boot.kernel.org but i dont think they have lucid installer as one of the options :-/ | 08:14 |
| EvRide | yes sweetpi, i've checked everything | 08:14 |
| slidinghorn | it's an old useless laptop that I don't use...think I might try to install another distro on it just to check it out | 08:14 |
| Docteh_ | EvRide: do you have another linux box to play on? try installing syslinux onto a usb thing, might work better than grub | 08:15 |
| sweetpi | EvRide: i take that back.. i had a laptop that i had to disable "usb legacy" to make it boot from usb | 08:15 |
| EvRide | i've disabled legacy usb as well | 08:15 |
| EvRide | how will installing syslinux on usb work if i can't boot from usb? | 08:16 |
| Docteh_ | slidinghorn: bus error from cli is odd | 08:16 |
| slidinghorn | Docteh_, we'll see what happens when I take it to the office tomorrow and try to install debian on it | 08:16 |
| Docteh_ | EvRide: i thought the problem was grub wasn't working, not booting period | 08:17 |
| * slidinghorn works @ a computer repair shop & gets to abuse the resources :-P | 08:17 | |
| EvRide | i've followed this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromUSB | 08:17 |
| Docteh_ | slackware was compiled i486 up until recently | 08:17 |
| EvRide | but at the moment im getting a cannot get C/H/S values error | 08:18 |
| Docteh_ | where at? booting or from some command you're supposed to type in? | 08:18 |
| EvRide | well i sorta followed it, i think that info is kinda old | 08:18 |
| EvRide | when booting | 08:19 |
| Docteh_ | I've never had success with anything involving a howto and USB myself, except for one that said to type "syslinux /dev/<device>" and then rtfm on the conf file ;) | 08:19 |
| padza | anyone know how to use terminal | 08:22 |
| Docteh_ | thats kind of vaugue question | 08:22 |
| EvRide | ummmm | 08:22 |
| EvRide | lol | 08:22 |
| apporc | what is a terminal? padza? | 08:22 |
| padza | shell | 08:22 |
| EvRide | well i think i may just take out the hard drive from my netbook and install ubuntu on it using a different computer | 08:23 |
| Docteh_ | !ask > padza | 08:23 |
| slidinghorn | padza, what are you trying to do? lots of folks have lots of experience with terminals :) | 08:23 |
| ubottu | padza, please see my private message | 08:23 |
| slidinghorn | and apporc while the question was vague...that wasn't a very helpful response | 08:23 |
| Docteh_ | EvRide: thats cheating, but a valid solution | 08:23 |
| EvRide | its completely ridiculous though, that i have to go through all this trouble | 08:23 |
| sweetpi | EvRide: can you boot from network? | 08:23 |
| apporc | I am sorry. lol | 08:23 |
| EvRide | lol Docteh_ i dont care | 08:23 |
| EvRide | ya i can, but that seems like an even more complex problem | 08:23 |
| EvRide | err solution | 08:24 |
| EvRide | or do i mean problem? | 08:24 |
| Docteh_ | personally i'd stick the alternate boot cd initrd+kernel onto a usb dude and try extlinux or syslinux, its the same stuff that boots the livecds | 08:24 |
| padza | to install software in terminal | 08:24 |
| apporc | yes ,this question is too hard to answer. | 08:24 |
| apporc | what software . | 08:24 |
| EvRide | but i cannot boot from usb... | 08:24 |
| apporc | what 's the format of its package | 08:24 |
| sweetpi | EvRide: pretty easy actually. but if your gonna take out the drive.. thats easier :) | 08:24 |
| EvRide | i can only boot from harddrive | 08:25 |
| picard1421 | anyone know how to use phone as a webcam? | 08:25 |
| EvRide | nothing else | 08:25 |
| apporc | source or rpm or deb ?? | 08:25 |
| picard1421 | i have Windows mobile 6.5 HTC Touch Pro 2?? | 08:25 |
| Docteh_ | EvRide: you only know you cant get grub to work, not syslinux or like dos | 08:25 |

| benson_ | good day, sorry if i disturb you guys, but i need help with my lubuntu problem | 08:28 |
| R3cur51v3 | Does installing Linux on a computer generally void that computer's hardware warranty? | 08:28 |
| slidinghorn | benson_, no bother...what's up? | 08:28 |
| slidinghorn | R3cur51v3, no idea...It may or may not depending on the manufacturer and the actual terms of the warranty | 08:29 |
| benson_ | i can't seem to set my screen resolution, everytime i restart it , it resets back to a higher resolution | 08:29 |
| R3cur51v3 | In particular, I have a Lenovo ThinkPad that's running into some trouble with its display. | 08:29 |
| slidinghorn | R3cur51v3, i doubt they'd provide any *support* for a system they didn't preinstall, but hardware should be fair game in my opinion | 08:29 |

| benson_ | sorry man, but it keeps changing back to my higher resolution | 08:35 |
| benson_ | i only want to set it to 1024x768 | 08:36 |
| benson_ | any other idea how? | 08:36 |
| slidinghorn | benson_, what exactly have you tried and what is the resolution that it's giving you instead of 1024x768? | 08:36 |
| benson_ | it resets back to 1280x1024 | 08:37 |
| benson_ | i've tried the sudo /etc/init.d/lxdm restart | 08:37 |
| benson_ | i only want to it to be fixed at 1024x768 resolution, any idea as to how? | 08:38 |

| mylisto2 | I just got a new laptop today...has win 7 installed...and I want to dual boot it with ubuntu...whats the best way to do this? | 08:55 |
| slidinghorn | mylisto2, you can do it either by usb or livecd -- see !dualboot | 08:55 |
| ejv | mylisto2: best to repartition the disks and then just install via a livecd | 08:55 |
| padza | ubottu , we kwl now | 08:55 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 08:56 |
| robbiethe1st | mylisto2: I'd go into a livecd, open gparted and repartion it, then install. Worked for me | 08:56 |
| robbiethe1st | gparted allowed me to shrink my NTFS partition, but I think I had to install a package for it to work... | 08:56 |
| mylisto2 | do what robbie? | 08:56 |
| okookokih | back to my awesome problems, alsa on ubuntu - install, package | 08:56 |
| slidinghorn | mylisto2, type /msg ubottu !dualboot | 08:57 |

| mo--_ | okookokih: I don't get it, where did you describe the actual problem? | 08:57 |
| robbiethe1st | mylisto2: Boot off a liveCD, install gparted. Open gparted, and "resize" the NTFS main partition. | 08:57 |
| mylisto2 | robbiethe1st: I had a laptop die on me yesterday (screen cracked) and I want to import all of my stuff from there into a dual boot once I get it going... | 08:57 |
| okookokih | on 10.04, I am trying to install snd-dummy - I believe it should work : modprobe snd-dummy out of the box, however I tried compiling (which worked btw) a newer patch to it, despite compiling and "installing" to the location /lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic-pae/kernel/sound/drivers/snd-dummy.ko it won't modprobe. Now I moved it from there, it says cannot find it... how can I revert to the out-of-the-box package for snd-dummy? | 08:57 |
| okookokih | mo--_ that was from my history | 08:57 |
| mylisto2 | can I do a dual boot of a higher version of ubuntu? or do I have to stay with the one I used (9.04?) | 08:58 |
| robbiethe1st | mylisto2: lets take this to PM; I'll help you out. | 08:58 |
| mylisto2 | thanks | 08:58 |
| okookokih | but it probably went off scroll because 11 people wrote 150 lines to get padza kicked for writing 4 lines in german. :-) nevermind. It should be simple but this alsa is infuriating, I was patching it, then it won't load, now where is the original out of the box version? | 08:59 |

| robbiethe1st | This has happened twice so far - exactly the same symptoms. Working fine, -until- it finishes rebuilding. Anyone have any ideas? | 08:59 |
| iceroot | Theaxiom: why would you do that? | 08:59 |
| soreau | Theaxiom: Why are you trying to move roots home folder? | 08:59 |
| Theaxiom | ice799, because it is not at /home/root | 08:59 |
| iceroot | Theaxiom: of course not | 08:59 |
| mo--_ | okookokih: assuming that you overwrote the snd-dummy.ko (that it used to exist in a package) find that package (probably linux-image-2.6.32-22-something) and reinstall it. | 08:59 |
| soreau | Theaxiom: It's not supposed to be at /home | 08:59 |
| Theaxiom | soreau, ok thanks | 08:59 |
| iceroot | Theaxiom: its at /root/ dont change it!! | 08:59 |
| soreau | Theaxiom: It's supposed to be right where it is. /home is for user accounts | 09:00 |
| mo--_ | okookokih: btw, have you tried using insmod (direclty with the file)? | 09:00 |
| Theaxiom | alright I got it | 09:00 |
| okookokih | mo--_ go on (on finding the package, because I've been searching) | 09:00 |
| okookokih | mo--_, yes, I tried insmod too | 09:00 |
| okookokih | and depmod after making and installing it | 09:00 |
| mo--_ | okookokih: ah, haven't done that on ubuntu yet ... *looking for the right util* | 09:00 |

| slidinghorn | padza, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-12074.html | 09:16 |
| tonyyarusso | ke7en_AIS: uh, what are you trying to accomplish? | 09:16 |
| iceroot | ke7en_AIS: depending on the vm, (vmware, virtualbox) see there channels #vmware or #vbox | 09:16 |
| ke7en_AIS | yeah thank | 09:16 |

| |ns|nR8 | thanks | 09:18 |
| slidinghorn | np | 09:18 |
| ke7en_AIS | can i run *.vmdk on ubuntu? | 09:18 |
| MechanisM | not for private//for private I use right-click and IM | 09:18 |
| tonyyarusso | |ns|nR8: usb-creator-gtk | 09:18 |
| |ns|nR8 | cheers tonyyarusso | 09:19 |
| rumbert | Hobart: The best I see for me is smokeping which uses rrdtool and it is still looks like too much work to be worthwhile right now. | 09:19 |
| oCean_ | MechanisM: just start the line with that person's nick, type first 2 or 3 letters, then hit <tab> key | 09:19 |
| YankDownUnder | ke7en_AIS, You're going to need Virtualbox or VMWare to do that | 09:19 |
| MechanisM | ohh | 09:19 |
| tonyyarusso | ke7en_AIS: certainly. You can either install VMware or use KVM. | 09:19 |
| przemo | hi | 09:19 |
| przemo | i've got a labtec webcam pr0 | 09:19 |
| ke7en_AIS | that's mean vmware can install on ubuntu? | 09:19 |
| przemo | im polish, sorry for my engrish | 09:19 |
| tonyyarusso | YankDownUnder: (rumour has it KVM can actually play VMware images - I haven't actually tried it yet) | 09:19 |
| slidinghorn | ke7en_AIS, yes...but some prefer virtual box | 09:20 |
| przemo | damn | 09:20 |
| tonyyarusso | ke7en_AIS: of course | 09:20 |
| mylisto2 | I'm curious as to what version of ubuntu I should download...I have a new lappy that I got today...with win 7.. | 09:20 |
| YankDownUnder | ke7en_AIS, Um...I think you might find that by reading the documentation on the VMWare site that yes, in fact, you can run VMWare on linux, or BSD or OS/2 or OSX... | 09:20 |
| przemo | i cant say that in english ;( | 09:20 |
| tonyyarusso | mylisto2: 10.04 would be the recommendation right now | 09:20 |
| przemo | ill use a translator | 09:20 |
| slidinghorn | mylisto2, 10.04 would be great for you :) | 09:20 |

| ke7en_AIS | yeah.... | 09:20 |
| mylisto2 | on the ubuntu site it says that 64 bit is not recommend for daily desktop use.. | 09:20 |
| MechanisM | oCean_: hmm | 09:20 |
| oCean_ | MechanisM: succeeded! | 09:20 |
| mylisto2 | why is that? | 09:20 |
| padza | for da turkish Ecdadini gštten sikeyim | 09:20 |
| przemo | wiem | 09:20 |
| oCean_ | mylisto2: you can use 64 very well | 09:21 |
| przemo | ale tam nikogo nie ma | 09:21 |
| przemo | znaczy nie wiem | 09:21 |
| YankDownUnder | mylisto2, 64bit is always, at best, flaky. | 09:21 |
| MechanisM | but I always need to write nickname? | 09:21 |
| przemo | nie mam tego paska po prawej | 09:21 |
| oCean_ | mylisto2: it's there because not all users know if they have 32 or 64, so 32 is the savest choice | 09:21 |
| tonyyarusso | mylisto2: ah, right... That's mostly because Adobe Flash likes to have issues on 64-bit, and occasionally something else. | 09:21 |

| aDik21 | hello all | 09:22 |
| livingdaylight | I want to format a spare hardrive on my desktop - do i use fat16, fat32, or ext4 ? | 09:22 |
| slidinghorn | livingdaylight, ext4 | 09:22 |
| aDik21 | can i join? | 09:22 |
| slidinghorn | !ask | aDik21 | 09:23 |
| YankDownUnder | livingdaylight, For use with only linux, or with other OS's? | 09:23 |
| ubottu | aDik21: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 09:23 |
| livingdaylight | why does this drive always have a lost and found folder in it after formatting it? | 09:23 |
| przemo | so, can anyone help me? | 09:23 |
| livingdaylight | YankDownUnder, for my linux desktop | 09:23 |
| padza | tonnyyarusso: wat about "man nmap" | 09:23 |
| przemo | i want sound from my webcam in real time | 09:23 |
| YankDownUnder | livingdaylight, That's part of the tradition linux FS setup | 09:23 |
| przemo | realtime | 09:23 |
| tonyyarusso | livingdaylight: Depends - will you *ever* want to access this data from an OS other than Linux? Or perhaps a slightly older distro like Ubuntu 8.04? | 09:23 |
| slidinghorn | przemo, you haven't asked a question in english....if you can't find a way to say it in english, check the polish channel | 09:23 |
| padza | in terminal | 09:23 |
| oCean_ | przemo: only if you can explain your problem in english | 09:23 |
| YankDownUnder | livingdaylight, I'd use ext4 or ReiserFS, really. | 09:23 |
| tonyyarusso | livingdaylight: lost+found is a feature of the ext family of filesystems. It's used to aid in recovery from filesystem errors. | 09:24 |
| tonyyarusso | padza: if you knew that why would you ask? | 09:24 |
| livingdaylight | tonyyarusso, right now it is for linux desktop, but i could always remove it and put it in a case for external hd also | 09:24 |
| * slidinghorn wonders if it's a full moon | 09:24 | |
| ke7en_AIS | what's kernel patch? | 09:24 |
| YankDownUnder | slidinghorn, It's close enough to warrant that suspicion, mate. | 09:24 |
| livingdaylight | YankDownUnder | tonyyarusso i see! coz when I open lost and found folder I cannot? I wonder why its taking up space | 09:24 |
| przemo | im back | 09:24 |
| tonyyarusso | livingdaylight: ext4 is my choice if everything you use understands it. fat32 for best compatibility with others. The only thing you'll ever need fat16 for is digital cameras. | 09:24 |
| przemo | there arent anyone in polish channel! | 09:25 |
| przemo | umm, i mean... | 09:25 |
| tonyyarusso | livingdaylight: Um, it's not taking up space. Well, 4.0k. Don't worry about it. | 09:25 |
| przemo | i cant see anyone | 09:25 |
| livingdaylight | ok, thx tonyyarusso | YankDownUnder | slidinghorn | 09:25 |
| przemo | so can anyone help me there!? | 09:25 |

| slidinghorn | przemo, your english is great :) now....regarding your problem. the generic ubuntu kernel (as far as I'm aware) is not really made for real-time capabilities. you may have to upgrade your kernel (which I would only recommend if you *really* know what you're doing) | 09:27 |

| slidinghorn | ke7en_AIS, you can do it via usb...if you want to try that, use the link I had ubottu post earlier...if you want to do an install as if it were a windows program, *read about* wubi | 09:33 |
| padza | bazhang: go fuck your motha | 09:33 |
| slidinghorn | !wubi | ke7en_AIS do not try this without reading the documentation first | 09:33 |
| Stallman | @padza : i cannot speak english here, so ask in ubuntu-pl | 09:33 |
| ubottu | ke7en_AIS do not try this without reading the documentation first: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting.

| TheSarge | Hello, I just purchased a Dell Inspirion and am dual booting Win7 and Ubuntu 10.4, I cannot for the life of me get the wireless to enable when in Ubuntu it doesnt matter if I leave the wlan enabled or disabled in windows? Any advice? | 09:36 |
| oCean_ | azlon: not here? | 09:37 |
| slidinghorn | TheSarge, well, there's a lot of things it could be...can I PM you a few commands to post to http://paste.ubuntu.com ? | 09:37 |
| tonyyarusso | TheSarge: I don't know for sure, but some systems have a BIOS setting for whether to enable onboard wireless which Linux respects and other systems do not, so you could make sure it's enabled there first. Next tack is driver/firmware issues. | 09:37 |
| azlon | oCean_: its linux related... i just need to know how to make a script... like if i just did touch whatever.sh, what would i need to put in the sh file to copy another file? is it just the commands as i would type in terminal or is it a langaunge i need to learn? | 09:38 |
| TheSarge | slidinghorn: I am in windows I have no way to get online in Ubuntu at all :( I ran the command that the troubleshooting section of the manual said, it gave me a result that the wlan was in a "disabled" state. | 09:38 |
| robertzaccour | ok. i have my user name and password correct on pidgin for msn. it won't connect. same for emesene i installed it to check on it. still the same. pidgin gives me an error saying "Your MSN buddy list is temporarily unavailable. please try again." thats as specific as it gets from my end | 09:38 |
| oCean_ | azlon: this is not linux channel, but technical ubuntu support. php support in##php, shell scripting support in #bash | 09:39 |
| TheSarge | Yes I looked in Bios and Wlan and Wwan are enabled. | 09:39 |
| slidinghorn | TheSarge, does it connect with ethernet? | 09:39 |
| TheSarge | slidinghorn: I dont know I have no physical access to the router anyways. | 09:39 |
| slidinghorn | TheSarge, i.e. neighbors' connection? | 09:39 |
| tonyyarusso | TheSarge: okay, stupid question time: When you right-click the network-manager applet, are both "enable networking" and "enable wireless" checked? | 09:40 |
| azlon | oCean_: thank you. #bash is what i was looking for. | 09:40 |
| TheSarge | It is ours but the router is in my roommates room, and I dont go in their lol. | 09:40 |
| lyrae | how come when i do file -bi 'file.js' its type is x-c++ ? | 09:40 |
| lyrae | and not javacriot | 09:40 |
| lyrae | javascript* | 09:40 |
| TheSarge | tonyyarusso: thats the weird thing, the first time i booted i checked the wireless box and the icon for the connection manager thing just disapeared and I have never been able to get it back? | 09:41 |
| slidinghorn | TheSarge, is the wireless card found? do any networks show up and you're just not able to connect to them? | 09:41 |
| TheSarge | slidinghorn: No it is disabled. | 09:41 |
| * YankDownUnder is afraid of roommates rooms - they're dangerous places to tread | 09:41 | |
| slidinghorn | what is the card/chipset? | 09:42 |
| slidinghorn | TheSarge, ^^ | 09:42 |
| padza | im back motha fuckas | 09:42 |

| slidinghorn | tonyyarusso, you were an op that whole tiem???? | 09:43 |
| tonyyarusso | slidinghorn: yeah, but walked into the channel toward the end | 09:43 |
| TheSarge | Oh no I didnt, lol let me go check I am not sure I just bought it. | 09:43 |
| oCean_ | lyrae: 'file' determines the type bye a limited set of characteristics. It's off sometimes | 09:43 |
| lyrae | i see | 09:43 |
| slidinghorn | tonyyarusso, it's all good :) I figured someone would come along eventually | 09:44 |
| slidinghorn | be back in just a sec.... | 09:45 |

| lyrae | Strange problem. I am uploading a file but i get this error: /media/shared/sites/www/subdomains/evan/uploads/my files/someone/blue.png) | 09:47 |
| songer | the sound that makes xchat | 09:47 |
| tonyyarusso | slidinghorn: right-click, add to panel, Notification Area | 09:47 |
| lyrae | however, where it says '/someone/', which is a folders name, it should say "someone's files" | 09:47 |
| lyrae | so it seems as if move_uploaded_files doesnt like ' in there | 09:48 |
| slidinghorn | tonyyarusso, who's that go to? | 09:48 |
| songer | some time ago it happen me but i cannot remember how i stop it | 09:48 |
| tonyyarusso | oh, bah. that was supposed to be for TheSarge | 09:48 |
| TheSarge | tonyyarusso: I tried that it is not listed... | 09:49 |
| TheSarge | I found this link http://www.famegadget.com/tutorial-how-to-fix-dell-inspiron-1520-1525-1545-1564-wireless-network-problem.htm but where is the content lmao? | 09:49 |

| Carsten- | hey guys I did something kinda dumb... I modified a home folders permissions with chmod when logged in as root.. is there anyway to return control of that folder the the relevant user? | 10:07 |
| robbiethe1st | Carsten-: | 10:07 |
| Carsten- | So as that user can modify all the permissions in the folder | 10:07 |

| robbiethe1st | Carsten-: chown | 10:07 |
| kbrdsrfr | tonyyarusso, but the notification is not disbplayed | 10:07 |
| stanley_robertso | Carsten-, what robbiethe1st said is correct.. you can try "chown" | 10:08 |
| robbiethe1st | try "sudo chown *username* /path/to/folder -R" | 10:08 |
| tonyyarusso | Carsten-: chown -R fred:fred /home/fred | 10:08 |

| tonyyarusso | kbrdsrfr: displayed where? | 10:08 |

| kbrdsrfr | llutz, no, how do i set that? | 10:09 |
| tonyyarusso | kbrdsrfr: cron jobs don't output to the screen. If they have output, it goes to your mail. | 10:09 |
| tonyyarusso | llutz: that's for X...totally unrelated. | 10:09 |
| llutz | kbrdsrfr: DISPLAY=<host:display> man xauth | 10:09 |

| thune3 | dabukalam: are you sure there isn't a fixed link created directly under /dev/ for your scanner. Otherwise the general approach would be to find the udev rule in /lib/udev/rules.d/ that matches on your scanner and change the MODE= and GROUP= lines. | 11:14 |
| USGIshimura | gaberlunzie: have you tried disabling the hardware nvidia drivers at all? | 11:14 |

| ZolaHacker | yes i know | 11:19 |
| LjL | bazhang: the sad news is that was english... :( | 11:19 |
| bazhang | ZolaHacker, please stop that | 11:19 |
| USGIshimura | gaberlunzie: if I sound ignorant, it's unintentional - but why is it impractical? I'm not using any desktop effects at all. Anyway, I would work with it for just a while to test | 11:19 |
| wildeja | derju, yup, two and mine don't work either | 11:19 |
| derju | fuu -.- | 11:19 |
| mo-- | the-erm, that ll work if you just want to measure traffic between inet and lan | 11:19 |
| the-erm | Yup that was the goal. | 11:20 |
| derju | is there no way to get this f*** working? | 11:20 |
| bazhang | derju, watch the language | 11:20 |
| derju | ok, sorry | 11:20 |
| wildeja | derju, there is a patch, google it | 11:20 |
| asrj1 | please help me for install exe file | 11:20 |
| the-erm | I think if I use iftop on eth1 (lan side) I'd be able to see all the traffic. | 11:20 |
| derju | i´m on this for 3 hours.. | 11:20 |
| mo-- | the-erm, then - what's the problem? | 11:20 |
| the-erm | Then from there I can do some cool traffic shaping. | 11:20 |
| wildeja | derju, been on this for 6 days | 11:20 |
| USGIshimura | derju: so spend another three! sorry :P | 11:20 |
| the-erm | I just need to know what keywords to research :) | 11:21 |
| the-erm | I think I found a few good web pages to get started. | 11:21 |

| blink | anyone here uses Gwibber? private message me please. | 11:22 |
| USGIshimura | gaberlunzie: haha no need to apologise, I'm just trying to see if there's any connections between 3D effects and your problem - not trying to belittle you in any way :) | 11:22 |
| gaberlunzie | ok, thanx, once i can get a solution ... if any | 11:22 |
| USGIshimura | gaberlunzie: I'm assuming you're using a dock instead of the panels installed by default (top / bottom of screen) | 11:23 |
| gaberlunzie | usgishimura, i use panels, no dock | 11:23 |
| gaberlunzie | my use of desktop is pretty vanilla ... | 11:23 |
| USGIshimura | gaberlunzie: interesting, so you can't see any open windows in the bottom panel if you turn off 3D drivers? | 11:24 |
| dustin | hey does any know of a bittorrant program, .. like peer guardain? | 11:24 |
| rhodan | Hi, how do I recover multiple Evolution address books when all I have is .evolution? | 11:25 |
| USGIshimura | dustin: you mean a program to stop people seeing your computer while doing naughty things? ;) | 11:25 |
| dustin | i would like to use wine , or a luniz version | 11:25 |
| gaberlunzie | usgishimura: no, i have to close the windows one at a time from their menus to get to others in the background | 11:25 |
| USGIshimura | gaberlunzie: interesting....just a quick suggestion - you can press alt-tab to switch between windows :) | 11:26 |
| gaberlunzie | that's when i dont have 3D effects on | 11:26 |
| gaberlunzie | no, alt-tab doesnt work either when it's off | 11:26 |
| dustin | kinda, its more of my friend,there micosoft like he can work there, and any i say he already knows about, | 11:27 |
| USGIshimura | gaberlunzie: hmmm, I'm either confused or you've done something different with your installation somewhat. It sounds like the 3D drivers have done something funny to your system though....is it possible for you to do a reinstall? | 11:27 |
| USGIshimura | gaberlunzie: you should be able to turn compiz on / off without any hiccups, so somewhere along the line something has gone wrong I think | 11:28 |
| wildeja | Thanks for all the help everyone, your the best! :) | 11:28 |
| gaberlunzie | usgishimura: omg! i just realised i was giving wrong info cuz my effects are off right now and i'm functional! i was speak from memory about an earlier problem | 11:28 |

| gaberlunzie | ok, embarrassing | 11:29 |
| gaberlunzie | all windowing is ok | 11:29 |
| USGIshimura | gaberlunzie - oh right, so there's no freezing happening at all while you have them off? | 11:29 |
| gaberlunzie | i had the windowing problem before when fiddling with my graphics driver to see if i could fix the freezing problem | 11:29 |
| dustin | im reading this ip tracking stuff is scary,,i dont want some newbie getting my phyical adress, | 11:30 |
| gaberlunzie | the freezing problem persists even with effects off | 11:30 |
| USGIshimura | gaberlunzie: ok, well as far as I can deduce, it seems that 3D drivers aren't the issue | 11:31 |
| gaberlunzie | the freezing is spontaneous with the current grub version .... so i use the previous version for relief | 11:31 |
| === SigFreud is now known as TheEskimo | ||
| gaberlunzie | when i boot i hold shift and choose the previous version | 11:32 |
| USGIshimura | gaberlunzie: but with old kernel, you can't use 3D effects yes? | 11:32 |
| gaberlunzie | with old kernel i cant use opengl, if that's what u mean ... i dont know the extent of the problem | 11:33 |
| gaberlunzie | for example, when i try to run xbmc media center, it cant launch | 11:33 |

| rhodan | jrib: You could use squashfs to make a compact image of your system-. | 11:34 |
| gaberlunzie | usgishimura, this problem is not limited to lucid; had it since jaunty | 11:34 |
| Naznaz | I know I could do it manually | 11:35 |
| USGIshimura | rhodan: what the hell? | 11:35 |

| Naznaz | But I'm curious :> | 11:35 |
| jrib | Naznaz: copy over ~/.* | 11:35 |
| USGIshimura | gaberlunzie: ahhhh very interesting. I say this because I was recently using 64-bit ultimate edition and have had similar issues | 11:35 |
| Naznaz | jrib, okay, thanks. | 11:35 |
| USGIshimura | gaberlunzie: it might help to ask someone a bit more knowledgeable - I apologise but I'm only going from past experiences! | 11:36 |
| rhodan | jrib: Naznaz, be sure to run something like chown -R Naznaz:Naznaz /home/Naznaz; chmod -R 700 /home/Naznaz; find /home/Naznaz -type f -exec chmod 600 {} \; | 11:36 |

| mick02 | Folks, I'm using Kubuntu and when I try to share a folder that is on my desktop however when I right click and choose Share it is unchecked when I reopen the sharing properties | 11:40 |
| gaberlunzie | yes, usgi: quite a few it seems .... so let me get this straight, it appears to be a 64-bit problem? | 11:40 |
| jasonwryan | CaneToad: Ubuntu One in my menu... | 11:40 |
| gaberlunzie | 64-bit related | 11:40 |
| jasonwryan | CaneToad: Right click and open Edit Menus to make sure it isn't hidden... | 11:40 |
| USGIshimura | gaberlunzie: as far as I can tell, the people who do seem to have it are using 64-bit, but a lot of people are lucky or fix it | 11:41 |
| bat_ | #j ta.cz | 11:41 |
| USGIshimura | gaberlunzie: there's so many combinations of hardware out there, some people just get away with it | 11:41 |
| CaneToad | jasonwryan: not there...what does your menu invoke? | 11:41 |
| gaberlunzie | ok, cuz like i said, it's embarrassing for a ubuntu user like me, lol ... in terms of migrating from windows | 11:41 |
| dustin | amen assie | 11:42 |
| gaberlunzie | i'm waiting for a fix, so i can boast about using ubuntu, heh | 11:42 |
| mick02 | So is there any reason why the share folder will not share out even after I set it up through the GUI? | 11:42 |
| gaberlunzie | cuz i think it's a fundamental problem | 11:42 |
| jasonwryan | CaneToad: starts the applet in my status panel | 11:42 |
| USGIshimura | gaberlunzie: well, have you tried any KDE distributions? Perhaps Kubuntu might work better with your hardware? | 11:42 |
| USGIshimura | And it also might be more familiar to you as well, as an introduction | 11:43 |
| USGIshimura | to linux | 11:43 |
| gaberlunzie | hmmm, i kinda prefer gnome ... had removed kde | 11:43 |
| CaneToad | jasonwryan: I can see that /usr/bin/ubuntuone-launch exists...but invoking it does nothing (???) | 11:43 |
| jorn | close | 11:44 |
| USGIshimura | gaberlunzie: well in that case, I definitely recommend linux mint, if you can spare the bandwidth | 11:44 |
| USGIshimura | gaberlunzie: however, I'm getting off track | 11:44 |
| jasonwryan | CaneToad: from the cli? | 11:45 |
| USGIshimura | gaberlunzie: I'm sure there is a solution to your problem, I'm just not the best person to be giving Ubuntu advice! haha | 11:45 |
| CaneToad | jasonwryan: yup.... anyway looks like others are having the same trouble: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1498388 | 11:45 |
| gaberlunzie | that's ok, usgi, i have come around a solution online as yet .... i'll just have to continue to be on the lookout | 11:45 |
| gaberlunzie | *haven't come around one | 11:46 |
| jasonwryan | CaneToad: <sigh /> | 11:46 |
| USGIshimura | gaberlunzie: yes these things often take time, but thankfully 10.04 is a long term project - a lot of bugs get ironed out in these releases | 11:48 |

| USGIshimura | pvh_sa: they're kept back because they didn't do well in school | 12:02 |
| pvh_sa | USGIshimura, ah! clearly! apt-cache policy seems to suggest otherwise though | 12:02 |

| vlt | Is it possible to create a small (64MB) bootable USB drive (with GRUB) that will run Ubuntu from the live CD image on an NTFS partition? | 12:22 |
| === maek is now known as Guest25422 | ||
| au | Rudemeister: yes? | 12:22 |
| awk | USGIshimura: I think, it might actually be a an issue with it picking up the screen.. been years since I played with X... think around the early slackware days... so allot of the Xconfigurator options are long gone :P | 12:23 |
| USGIshimura | awk: it could be, got another monitor hanging around? | 12:23 |
| randy_ | vlt: the only problem i can see with that is i doubt that ubuntu can fit in a 64mb image | 12:23 |
| awk | USGIshimura: will check :D | 12:23 |
| USGIshimura | vlt: I second randy_'s doubt | 12:23 |
| dustin | dont neded with a virual one | 12:23 |
| antonio__ | ok I want to backup my system..on this lappy...and take it to my new lappy | 12:23 |
| ahmad_ | thx u all (^_^) | 12:23 |
| antonio__ | good luck ahmad_: | 12:24 |
| vlt | randy_: I only want to put GRUB there, maybe a kernel and an initrd.img that will bootstrap the iso from the ntfs partition | 12:24 |
| antonio__ | there are things that I want to back up (tbird emails/settings/etc) | 12:24 |
| antonio__ | can I just copy over the home folder? | 12:24 |
| randy_ | vlt: furthermore, ubuntu, and all its variants, won't ever run natively on an NTFS partition. | 12:24 |
| hotfloppy | hello guys.. how do i share specific directory with another user on this same box ? | 12:24 |
| vlt | randy_: Just the image | 12:24 |
| au | what permissions should be set for ssh keys? | 12:25 |
| au | I have this problem http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/2mhD2buE | 12:25 |
| vlt | randy_, USGIshimura: When I put the kernel on the USB drive and an initrd.img that mounts the iso from the ntfs partition? | 12:25 |
| AdvoWork | dustin, was that in response to me? | 12:25 |
| romanoff | Hello, I am using Ubuntu server and I have created a new user there. When I am using 'su <username>' command, console becomes much less functional. There is no autocomplete and only '$' sign is shown. No usename at all. What can be the problem? How can I fix that? Thanks | 12:25 |
| jrib | au: your private keys should be 600... | 12:26 |
| antonio__ | randy_: will that prevent a dual boot from happening? | 12:26 |
| randy_ | vlt: trust me, even if the usb stick is just for your bootup, it can't be NTFS. besides the structural ramifications behind why that won't happen, grub can't actually boot from NTFS. it relays the boot to the NTFS partition where window's bootloader takes over... | 12:26 |
| au | jrib: thanks. | 12:26 |
| jrib | au: .pub is generally not a private key however. | 12:26 |
| vlt | randy_: So I need the kernel on the drive too, right? The kernel should be able to read ntfs and find the actual ISO file to continue ... | 12:27 |
| vlt | /j #grml | 12:28 |
| randy_ | vlt: honestly, an endeavour like the one you're referring to is hefty even for me. | 12:28 |
| vlt | oops | 12:28 |
| dustin | AdvoWork, about what? | 12:28 |
| USGIshimura | vlt: yes, stop being adventurous! how dare you! haha | 12:28 |
| rob_p | au: That seems strange because it's assuming your id_rsa.pub key is your private key! Your id_rsa.pub is your public key. Strange. | 12:28 |
| au | weird | 12:29 |
| rob_p | au: You're on a Mac, right? | 12:29 |
| dustin | lol, just being cautious is a pc thing | 12:29 |
| au | yes | 12:29 |
| au | thought I'd drop in here as it's a terminal thing eheh | 12:29 |
| randy_ | vlt: just take my advice and stay far far away from NTFS when doing anything linux/unix/gnu. NTFS is microsoft proprietary and thus the linux implementations of NTFS are ~ok~ but not great and prone to wierd bugginess. | 12:30 |
| rob_p | au: Ok. Well I just checked on my mac and the permissions for my private key are indeed 600 but for my id_dsa.pub key (public key), they are 644. | 12:30 |
| rob_p | au: So I can't imagine why your system thinks your public key is your private key! | 12:30 |
| rlankfo | hola | 12:31 |

| USGIshimura | antonio__ very reliable | 12:32 |

| randy_ | vlt: among other things, i really don't know. linux kernel development rarely if ever focuses on NTFS compatibility (Bug 1) | 12:39 |
| iceroot | opengyan: what you need? just if they are different? | 12:39 |
| wrektjet | does it make suense that the OS would be freeazing up for a few moments at a time bec/ my RAM is at 80% | 12:40 |
| iceroot | opengyan: or do you need the info what is different? | 12:40 |
| * vlt just invented a new verb: to microsoft | 12:40 | |

| bazhang | Remos, kernel hacking? | 12:42 |
| antonio__ | kryptyk: thanks a ton...what things should I backup? | 12:42 |
| iceroot | Remos: first thing you have to learn that hacking has nothing to do with breaking into systems, so read the wikipedia article | 12:42 |
| opengyan | vlt, : diff gave me result as "Binary files backup.png and restor.png differ " | 12:42 |
| vlt | opengyan: What else do you want to know? | 12:43 |
| randy_ | wrektjet: you should reboot and do a Memtest from the Grub menu to be sure there isn't something wrong with your ram. the kernel will ensure that your ram is fully utilized, thus its normal for it to be at a high utilization percentage if you're actually doing stuff (especially web browsing...) | 12:43 |
| opengyan | so diff also usfull to extent it can give basic info... | 12:43 |

| romanoff | Hello, I have created new user on Ubuntu and when I log in under this user - bash is non functional. No autocomplete, user login is not shown on the left side (and many more things, I think). I thought that problems are with loading .bashrc and .profile files, so I copied them form my old user (that works fine). But seems like this files are not loaded. I tried to put "echo 'loading'" inside of .profile file, but I haven't seen this message when loggi | 13:05 |
| romanoff | ng under my new user. Can someone help me withs this? | 13:05 |

| jrib | Psi-Jack: why? | 13:24 |
| jrib | !version | Psi-Jack | 13:24 |
| ubottu | Psi-Jack: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 13:24 |

| Psi-Jack | jrib: I'm debugging things. | 13:24 |

| jefchenko | jrib: Why does nautilus hide internal hdd's used by the OS and filesystem in for example 'Computer' or 'Places' | 13:25 |
| Psi-Jack | Hmm. Interesting. hehe | 13:25 |
| jrib | jefchenko: they should be available at their mount points | 13:25 |

| Psi-Jack | jrib, bazhang, Dr_Willis: Thanks. :) | 13:26 |
| bazhang | Psi-Jack, welcome :) | 13:26 |

| jefchenko | jrib: I tried that, but one hdd I used for my /home dir, which is already mounted in fstab. But I want it to show op in computer or places. | 13:28 |
| Pici | cablop: You don't need to have rsync installed remotely, it can just use ssh. | 13:29 |
| romanoff | Pici: Thanks. I have already recreated user with adduser. This works now :) I just was working on this problem solution and didn't see that you wrote. Thanks again :)( | 13:29 |
| cablop | i'm not allowed to ssh too | 13:29 |
| jrib | jefchenko: ok, in that case its mount point is /home, so you would get at its files by going to /home. If you want it to show up in the nautilus sidebar, you could add a bookmark | 13:29 |
| randy_ | jefchenko: the automatic things that show up in Places is stuff that Gnome mounts automatically for you. i.e. stuff that is *not* in /etc/fstab | 13:30 |

| Dr_Willis | AdvoWork: means very little to me, i dont use ATI. You should include such info in your questions about video. its possible thats not supported by the FGLRX drivers. I dont use them so dont know. | 13:34 |
| AdvoWork | oh, any further suggestions then? | 13:34 |
| geirha | Pici, romanoff: And testing a bit with useradd, it sets the shell to /bin/sh by default (while adduser sets it to /bin/bash). That explains why tab-completion didn't work and why it didn't source .bashrc. | 13:35 |

| beeman_nl | hi folks :) | 14:27 |
| bareego | NTFS or VFAT | 14:27 |
| Tsims | xorg is using 34 percent | 14:27 |

| erUSUL | romanoff: then something else is interfering. maybe apparmor ? | 14:41 |
| * unclemantis is checking out erUSUL's recommendation | 14:41 | |
| romanoff | erUSUL: How can I check if it is apparmor? | 14:42 |
| erUSUL | romanoff: really dunno; i have it disabled... | 14:42 |
| erUSUL | romanoff: maybe in #ubuntu-server they know | 14:42 |
| romanoff | erUSUL: Thanks a lot. Will ask there | 14:42 |
| sipior | romanoff: try netstat -antp | 14:43 |
| erUSUL | unclemantis: "sudo tasksel install lamp-server" shud install all you need. for setting it up read the wiki | 14:43 |
| unclemantis | says install MySQL using any method if I am using PHP5 | 14:43 |
| unclemantis | erUSUL I already have Apache and PHP set up and I have Cassandra and Thrift configured too. I do not want to break this | 14:43 |

| c3l | how do I allow ssh connections from the internet on my ssh server running on my desktop? | 14:44 |
| erUSUL | unclemantis: ok. then install only mysql-server package | 14:44 |
| beeman_nl | philinux i mainly try it by clicking links, or having my IDE open my browser for me | 14:44 |
| askhader | c3l: Are you behind a router? | 14:44 |
| unclemantis | and I do that by sudo aptitude install mysql-server | 14:44 |
| askhader | unclemantis: Yes. | 14:44 |
| unclemantis | k. thank you | 14:44 |
| erUSUL | c3l: install the ssh server. make sure no firewall is blcking it. configure your router to foprward the port | 14:44 |
| bareego | c3l are you on an adsl modem or such ? then you have to forward port to your server | 14:44 |
| erUSUL | unclemantis: yes | 14:44 |
| c3l | askhader: yes, but it rarely messes with me | 14:44 |
| philinux | beeman_nl: IDE? | 14:44 |
| askhader | c3l: Okay, you will need to configure a port 22 forward to your desktop. | 14:45 |
| askhader | Or whatever port you want to use. | 14:45 |
| c3l | okay, but there is no settings I need to set to allow internet connections to the ssh server? | 14:45 |
| Garagegoblin | Hi everyone, I was messing with ndiswrapper last night trying to fix a light issue I was having with my wireless card, and now ubuntu doesn't see it at all in the ifconfig. I can see it when listing my lspci -nn | 14:45 |
| beeman_nl | philinux: yeah, when i run a web project in Netbeans | 14:45 |
| c3l | like /etc/hosts* or so? | 14:45 |
| askhader | c3l: No | 14:45 |

| beeman_nl | philinux: after i log in both the browsers correctly see who is the default and who is not | 14:45 |
| erUSUL | c3l: no; in you router you have to forward the port like you do for a webserver or bitttorrent | 14:46 |
| askhader | AdvoWork: You could do this with bash or a perl script. | 14:46 |

| grendal_prime | sipior, ive never (to my knowledge) used an ssh-agent | 14:48 |
| grendal_prime | how would one go about doing that? | 14:48 |
| sipior | grendal_prime: should happen by default on the ubuntu desktop, as i recall. | 14:48 |

| Garagegoblin | Hi, Ubuntu worked fine for me, until I was messing around with ndiswrapper, but when I removed ndiswrapper, no I have no wireless, any ideas? | 14:50 |
| philinux | beeman_nl: one last thing to try. Try going to Preferred Application, and choose Custom on write this:/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser %s | 14:50 |
| Aiya | helo | 14:50 |
| beeman_nl | philinux: i tried setting one manually before but no go, but i'll try it again :) | 14:50 |
| livingdaylight | ok, advice please: I am reformattting a 400+ hd. What partitions and what size for a fresh install of Ooboontoo? | 14:50 |
| Aiya | I want to know how do i install login screen in ubuntu? | 14:51 |
| azlon | how can i run an sh file in a terminal? | 14:51 |
| bareego | Garagegoblin, you normally use ndiswrapper to use binary drivers for wlan, so if you take them away and you were using binary drivers it won't work | 14:51 |
| philinux | livingdaylight: 12gig root /swap and reset /home on it's own partitoin | 14:51 |
| TheJ3ckyl | livingdaylight, I hop you mean 400 gig :) | 14:51 |
| trans | hello everyone, using suse 11.3 gnome, I liked ubuntu notification applet very much, how can I install it in my suse | 14:51 |
| edbian | livingdaylight, If it is currently completely unformatted I suggest using the Ubuntu installer. It will make helpful suggestions for all of that. | 14:51 |
| llutz | azlon: sh foo.sh | 14:51 |
| epiicfail | just type the path and the filename (maybe chmod 777 before if you do not have permission) | 14:52 |
| Garagegoblin | bareego: thanks, but i wasn't originally using ndiswrapper. Ubuntu ran my wireless almost flawlessly by itself | 14:52 |
| livingdaylight | edbian, default ubuntu installer only creates root | 14:52 |
| beeman_nl | philinux: nope, still seeing firefox as default... i guess i'll leave it for now, thanks for you help :) | 14:52 |
| livingdaylight | philinux, should I bother with swap with 4gb ram? | 14:52 |
| edbian | livingdaylight, That's an acceptable solution. Do you want something else? | 14:52 |
| Garagegoblin | I was messing with ndiswrapper, because I was having a slight issue, and thought going that route was going to help, but it didn't | 14:52 |
| saganbyte | Hello, I ve just installed Ubuntu in a 3 year old laptop.. for a moment the sound was configured corrctly, now its gone again... how can i make it come back? | 14:52 |
| philinux | livingdaylight: if you plan to use suspend then yes | 14:52 |
| beeman_nl | livingdaylight: i give my 4gb machine a 1gb swapfile, almost never uses it | 14:52 |
| edbian | livingdaylight, If you don't have a swap and you run out of ram (I know that's unlikely) then the system simply crashes. If you have at least 50 Mb of swap it won't. | 14:53 |
| bareego | so you want to work without ndiswrapper now ? | 14:53 |
| beeman_nl | i don't do suspends | 14:53 |
| livingdaylight | edbian, thx | 14:53 |
| philinux | livingdaylight: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq | 14:53 |
| Garagegoblin | bareego: yes, ubuntu already knows how, when I run the live cd it works, no problems, I just need to remind my system to look at itself instead of ndiswrapper | 14:54 |
| edbian | livingdaylight, If you're looking for a more detailed partition scheme. I would go with 1GB of swap, 7Gb of root, and the rest /home | 14:54 |
| bareego | Gametime, does it load a module for your chipset ? | 14:54 |

| livingdaylight | edbian, ok, in the past i know people also created /var and /usr, but that's going to far is it? | 14:55 |
| edbian | livingdaylight, I think it's overkill. But some don't. It's opinion. | 14:55 |
| bareego | Garagegoblin, does it load the module for your chipset ? | 14:55 |
| edbian | livingdaylight, You could create a separate partition for literally each and every folder on the file system. Although that would get crazy. | 14:56 |
| Garagegoblin | yea it lists in lspci -nn it is there, but not when I do ifconfig | 14:56 |
| ryan_languagelab | why do all beginning single quotes and and double quotes appear as backticks on my ubuntu based machines? | 14:56 |
| bareego | Garagegoblin, how about iwconfig | 14:56 |
| Garagegoblin | no | 14:57 |
| Garagegoblin | just my loopback and my ethernet card | 14:57 |
| dustin | im back! | 14:57 |
| bareego | you still have the wirless extensions package thingy installed ? | 14:58 |
| philsf | my sound applet is not appearing when I boot my netbook. How can I open it after boot? | 14:58 |
| bareego | ah, you would with iwconfig... | 14:58 |
| Garagegoblin | bareego: I am not sure what that is | 14:58 |
| Kilian] | Plz test someone if apturl works, see link in the middle http://www.unknown-horizons.org/site/index.php?page=sources | 14:59 |
| Garagegoblin | I have removed and reinstalled the linux-backports-wireless options with restarts and no luck either | 14:59 |
| BlueChip | Hi - two days ago I downloaded and installed the latest Ubuntu ...I then installed vnc4server ...when I vnc in to the machine i get a blank desktop (no icons, no title-bar, "no nothing") ...I have read many articles but none have solved it - it *seems* (to my-n00b-self) that editing /root/.vnc/xstartup has no effect - is there anything else I can try? | 15:00 |
| econdudeawesome | Where does one register a complaint about functionality? It's not a bug per se, but more an issue that I wonder if is being addressed | 15:01 |
| edbian | econdudeawesome, ubuntu brainstorm? | 15:01 |
| econdudeawesome | #ubuntu_brainstorm? | 15:01 |
| Kilian] | would be fine if someone could tell me if the link works, cause on my debian it does not | 15:01 |
| romanoff | sipior: Sorry, I was in Ubuntu-server channel. Nobody answers there for now. -antp parameters for netstat didn't help. Still nothing on port 80 | 15:02 |

| BlueChip | Is there a channel specifically for VNC ? | 15:03 |

| Mouton | hi guys. | 15:03 |
| Mouton | I'm trying, from an ubuntu client, to ssh -X into a fedora server. when I do that, it seems the DISPLAY variable is left empty. is that normal? when I ssh -X from either Mac or Fedora, the DISPLAY variable gets set to localhost:10.0 | 15:03 |
| Kilian] | hi Mouton | 15:03 |
| Tsims | does anyone know how to make my xorg run at a lower percentage? | 15:04 |
| edbian | Mouton, Default display in Ubuntu is localhost:0.0 | 15:05 |
| guampa | Tsims, u can use a lighter wm/de | 15:05 |
| uRock | Tsims, how much CPU is it using? | 15:05 |
| uRock | does a restart help? | 15:05 |
| Pici | romanoff: You'll need to start your server as root (sudo) and then drop back to lower privs to bind to any port under 1000 iirc. | 15:05 |
| Mouton | edbian: I know, but 0:0 is for the local X server | 15:05 |
| saganbyte | I ve installed Ubuntu on a 3 year old Presario V6000 laptop and the display is to dull.. how can I brigthen it up or saturate it? | 15:05 |
| Mouton | my fedora is running with no X server, thus why I'm using X forwarding. | 15:05 |
| Kilian] | plz test someone the APTURL on this page http://www.unknown-horizons.org/site/index.php?page=sources | 15:06 |
| Tsims | it jumps around, when idle its like 8 percent but when im running things on my computer it goes anywhere between 30 and 70 percent. | 15:06 |
| edbian | Mouton, Both computers must have X running in order to X Forward. | 15:06 |
| Kilian] | dont know if it works | 15:06 |
| Pici | romanoff: i.e., apache2 starts as root to bind to port 80, then drops down to run as www-data. | 15:06 |
| srdjan | when i type in gnome-terminal fdisk /dev/sda i recive this message '' unable to open /dev/sda what is the problem why i cant open my usb ???? | 15:06 |
| Tsims | on my desktop it never goes above 9 | 15:06 |
| edbian | Mouton, Is fedora the ssh server? And Ubuntu is the client? | 15:06 |
| uRock | Kilian, what is it supposed to install? | 15:06 |
| Mouton | edbian: I doubt that. X isn't running on my fedora and I can ssh -X just fine from Mac. | 15:06 |
| romanoff | Pici: Will try to do that. | 15:06 |
| Mouton | Fedora is the server. I try to connect from Ubuntu. | 15:06 |
| Kilian] | uRock: lot of packges like python scons stuff like that | 15:07 |
| Mouton | -X should set the DISPLAY environment variable, but it doesn't. | 15:07 |
| edbian | Mouton, If X isn't running what are you forwarding? If there are no graphical applications on the server there is nothing to forward to your client. | 15:07 |
| Mouton | it does whet I use a fedora or Mac client, but not when I use an Unbuntu client. | 15:07 |
| Mouton | I can start a UI app from the ssh command line | 15:07 |
| uRock | I'd have to boot a vbox, give me a minute | 15:07 |
| Mouton | and it should display on the client's mac server | 15:07 |
| Mouton | *the client's X server | 15:07 |
| Kilian] | uRock: that are all depencies to build Unknown Horizons from source | 15:08 |
| Tsims | it jumps around, when idle its like 8 percent but when im running things on my computer it goes anywhere between 30 and 70 percent. | 15:08 |
| * bleah is afk ... play`n poker | 15:08 | |
| Pici | !away > bleah | 15:08 |
| ubottu | bleah, please see my private message | 15:08 |
| edbian | Mouton, Graphical or Command Line every program has a U.I. X forwarding allows you to have graphical U.I.s give me an example of the application you want to x-forward. | 15:09 |
| Mouton | xeyes | 15:09 |
| srdjan | can anyone solve my proble i think that my usb drive going wrong or i do something wrong ? all i want is to format my usb i try admin/disk utilities it doesnt work i try gnome terminal dosent work too | 15:09 |
| Mouton | on my mac, I do: ssh -X server | 15:09 |
| Mouton | then run: xeyes | 15:09 |
| vivek243 | hellow everyone.. | 15:09 |
| Mouton | xeyes appears in my X11 running on my Mac. | 15:09 |
| Mouton | the same doesn't work when I use Ubuntu instead of Mac. | 15:09 |
| kerebrus | Anyone know of a secure non reccoverable harddrive purge? | 15:10 |
| edbian | Mouton, ahhhh I think I'm getting it now. Sorry about that I had this block in my head that said "you can't have any graphical programs on a server without X" but it appears likely now that you can. Is that right? | 15:10 |
| vivek243 | can anyone tell me how to run PHP programs?? | 15:10 |
| SwedeMike | kerebrus: just overwrite it with dd, that's fine. | 15:10 |
| slinker1 | thermite | 15:10 |
| uRock | Kilian], it just went to their page, not an apt-url | 15:10 |
| kerebrus | vivek243 you need a apache server running php | 15:11 |
| Kilian] | uRock: on the page is the apturl | 15:11 |
| Mouton | edbian: well, I do have X installed, but it's not running. but xeyes was just an example. | 15:11 |
| guampa | kerebrus: you can pipe /dev/random to dd and repeat a few times | 15:11 |
| edbian | Mouton, I found this? Did you enable X-forwarding on the server? http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/debian-user@lists.debian.org/8684388.html | 15:11 |
| Kilian] | uRock: in the middle | 15:11 |
| vivek243 | kerebrus i have it.. | 15:11 |
| blendmaster1024_ | how do I retrieve photos across a camera cable? I'd prefer not to use my damaged card reader. | 15:11 |
| chilli0 | Hello , How can I mount a folder of my external hard drive? | 15:11 |
| geirha | vivek243: php -f myscript.php | 15:11 |
| Mouton | I installed CrashPlan, which has no X requirements, but it needs a X to display it's UI | 15:11 |
| erUSUL | kerebrus: i'd said that simply zeroing the hard drive is enough... but you can use wipe | 15:11 |
| blendmaster1024_ | Mouton, that's a contradiction in terms. please restate. | 15:12 |
| kerebrus | vivek243 theres a www directory, one sec need to find where apache puts that | 15:12 |
| philinux | blendmaster1024_: plug in camera to usb | 15:12 |
| blendmaster1024_ | philinux, done that already. | 15:12 |
| Mouton | edbian: server X11 forwarding works fine, as it works with a Mac client. | 15:12 |
| philinux | blendmaster1024_: does it show up in places | 15:12 |
| uRock | Kilian], it is trying to work. It says it is for building debian packages. | 15:12 |
| blendmaster1024_ | philinux, nope. | 15:12 |
| philinux | blendmaster1024_: what does lsusb show | 15:12 |
| Kilian] | urock, k thanks | 15:12 |
| kerebrus | Alright thanks for all the answers im setting up a server for a business and they want a secure way to remove harddrives in case of wanting to upgrade | 15:12 |
| geirha | kerebrus: There's also shred | 15:12 |
| blendmaster1024_ | philinux, oh wait, it does in "computer" - just not in the menus. stupid gnome ... | 15:12 |
| lojack | Anyone know how I can alter the way gvfs and udev mount removable device on my Ubuntu 10.04 Gnome system? | 15:13 |
| uRock | My vbox is Ubuntu 10.10, so I am not going to let it install. It might kill the box | 15:13 |
| philinux | blendmaster1024_: off you go then | 15:13 |
| vivek243 | kerebrus yes there is www directory in /var | 15:13 |
| Mouton | blendmaster1024_: I can install CrashPlan even without having X installed. i.e. the install doesn't look for X. but if I try to launch the UI, I need either a local X server running, or be X-forwarding. | 15:13 |
| edbian | Mouton, I'm not sure! I read another comment on there that talked about DNS and reverse DNS not syncing correctly. Not sure if that's the case. | 15:13 |
| bareego | kerebrus, used to service police hdds, they made you drill some holes in them | 15:13 |
| philinux | blendmaster1024_: there is a setting to change that to show mounted drives on the desktop | 15:13 |
| kerebrus | vivek243 you put your php files in that directory, pull up a browser and point to localhost, what issue are you having with running them? | 15:14 |
| blendmaster1024_ | philinux, I have that one off, I like my desktop empty. it's supposed to show up in 'places' though. | 15:14 |
| bonez2046 | why do I get sound if I run amarok, but if I try to listen to music or googlevoice message in firefox,I get no sound? | 15:14 |
| edbian | Mouton, I must admit I am surprised that your system allows you to install graphical apps without depending on the X server. | 15:14 |
| vivek243 | kerebrus it gives an error as 404 not found.. | 15:14 |
| electro057 | Heya, just a general question: Are there any background processes, or applications that come with ubuntu that I should/can delete to speed up my netbook? | 15:14 |
| kerebrus | vivek243 is your apache service started and running? | 15:15 |
| vivek243 | kerebrus yes.. | 15:15 |
| Mouton | edbian: that was just some random example anyway. I do have X installed. but it's not running. | 15:15 |
| Mouton | because I don't need it, because normally X-forwading works just fine. | 15:15 |
| vivek243 | kerebrus 1 second, how one can know it? | 15:15 |
| kl4m | You don't need an X server to run graphical apps, just a way to forward X | 15:15 |
| edbian | electro057, Decide for yourself. Look at the system monitor or alternatively ps -e in the term. Go through everything in the list one by one, learn what they do, decide if you want them. | 15:16 |
| hrhrhr_ | yo | 15:16 |
| edbian | electro057, Although I warn you, there isn't a whole lot of programs in there that are completely pointless that everybody would want to kill / uninstall. | 15:16 |
| electro057 | I'm just worried I'll kill something important | 15:17 |
| guampa | electro057: a helpful app for that is bum | 15:17 |
| edbian | electro057, So what, restart the computer and it'll come back. | 15:17 |
| edbian | electro057, If you uninstall something important all you'll have to do is re-install it and restart. | 15:17 |
| dustin | yeah or you will just get a bogged down computer1 | 15:17 |
| vivek243 | kerebrus u there?? | 15:18 |
| electro057 | Did that once, had to reinstall.....was using synaptic and deleted some important things....wouldn't boot | 15:18 |
| dustin | hi yall | 15:18 |
| edbian | electro057, I don't think it's possible to un-install things using the package manager and make the system un-usable. Probably the worst you can do is make it annoying to use :P | 15:18 |
| c3l | electro057: if you want a more lightweight solution, I suggest not using Gnome or KDE or similar. use som lightweight WM as xmonad, and add only the tools you need | 15:18 |
| bareego | electro057, or you could use a GUI with lower memory usage | 15:18 |
| bareego | electro057, lubuntu is lean | 15:18 |
| dustin | lightweight? whats this? | 15:19 |
| guampa | electro057: try apt-get installing bum, it'll show the services you have running and lets you turn the ones you don't use | 15:19 |
| edbian | electro057, Really? What did you remove? | 15:19 |
| guampa | turn *off* | 15:19 |
| bonez2046 | No Sound in Firefox?? | 15:19 |
| kerebrus | vivek243 yes sorry, was replying to your pm | 15:19 |
| electro057 | Okay :D I'll try that, thanks ^.^ *to Guampa* and if that doesn't work I'll look for a lighter GUI, also I don't know what I uninstalled, it had something to do with that Kernel thinger | 15:20 |
| MaRk-I | lol | 15:20 |
| guampa | haha | 15:20 |
| Laggie | Hi! Ok I have 2 raid1 on my remote server, raid A has ubuntu server installed and raid B I have partitioned exactly as raid A but is apart from that empty, now I wish to clone everything from raid A to raid B so that I can remove raid A. So I need to make raid B bootable and a mirror image of raid A, how do I do that? | 15:21 |

| Laggie | lojack: It is positioned in a remote location so I have no physical access to it now. | 15:24 |

| Moofius__ | How can I list all processes except the system processes (ie, the kintegrityd/0 stuff)? | 15:29 |

| Moofius__ | My top has 121 processes, so it's hard to navigate, would be nice to be able to not show the system processes (like kintegrityd/0) | 15:30 |
| ayzen | Is the "metacity" responsible for managing windows in ubuntu? | 15:30 |
| lojack | Laggie: Have you looked at the 3ware management tools? | 15:30 |
| uRock | !medibuntu | electro057 | 15:30 |

| vivek243 | kerebrus u there?? | 15:30 |
| Laggie | lojack: N, what can they help me with? | 15:30 |
| bareego | electro057, if you want to play encrypted dvd's you'll have to run sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh | 15:31 |
| bareego | ^after getting the package mentioned before | 15:32 |
| unclemantis | electro057 are you kidding me or are you being serious? | 15:32 |

| lojack | Laggie: Managing RAIDs on 3ware cards. | 15:32 |
| unclemantis | sigh | 15:32 |
| electro057 | Thanks for all the help btw | 15:32 |
| blendmaster1024_ | electro057, please try to keep joking to #ubuntu-offtopic, no matter how good the joke may be :/ | 15:34 |
| lojack | Laggie: Its LSI now, but the 3ware downloads seem to point to LSI support. You're looking for tw_cli package. | 15:34 |
| unclemantis | this sucks | 15:34 |

| osmario | Hello. Does somebody knows how to synchronize Ipod Classic and Rhythmbox at ubuntu 10.04? | 15:36 |
| philsf | my sound applet does not appear when I boot my netbook. How can I open it after boot, or find out why it's not opening? | 15:37 |
| Laggie | lojack: But Do I need to something with my raid? I have already set up the two raid 1 on the server, I can access it and I have even partitioned via vncviewer. I just want to clone everything from one to the other. I could probably manage ok to just copy everything but I need to make it bootable also and I do not know how to do that. | 15:38 |
| Destructo | hey hey all. im trying to get this PCMCIA wireless adapter to work. | 15:38 |
| lojack | Laggie: The card exposes each RAID as a single volume, or a number of volumes, depending on how you set it up. | 15:39 |
| dustin | does anybody know about wine? | 15:40 |
| bazhang | dustin, in #winehq | 15:40 |
| lojack | Laggie: You could just dd one volume to the other. But that is not the correct way to clone the RAID. | 15:40 |
| oneirosFade | Morning/Evening everyone! | 15:40 |
| dustin | hih what that? | 15:40 |
| lojack | Laggie: The tools provided by the card manufacturer are designed to do what you want. | 15:41 |
| bazhang | dustin, a channel | 15:41 |
| dustin | ok thanks:) | 15:41 |
| Laggie | lojack: Ok I should look at it | 15:41 |

| bazhang | surreal`, sure use unetbootin or if you want persistent see the bot link | 15:47 |
| lojack | Anyone know how I can alter the way gvfs and udev mount removable device on my Ubuntu 10.04 Gnome system? | 15:47 |
| bazhang | !usb | surreal` | 15:47 |

| bazhang | Pici, filezilla? | 15:47 |
| guampa | surreal: a tool to do that is in the administration menu | 15:47 |
| philinux | surreal`: It will still be pretty slow | 15:48 |
| saymoo | depends on the flash drive type | 15:48 |
| saymoo | itś way faster compared to the live cd | 15:48 |
| philinux | ok slower | 15:48 |
| surreal` | yeah im just using this for an htpc mainly, but i dont want it to be a live install.. for some reason i cant get boxee to compile with the live installs | 15:49 |

| bareego | hylian how much ram does you video card have ? | 16:00 |
| hylian | bareego it's not the video card. ubuntu reports 3.2, other programs in ubuntu report 4.0. if it where the video card it would be 3.2 in both cases | 16:01 |
| bareego | kk | 16:01 |
| stefanos | hello all | 16:01 |
| stefanos | need some help | 16:01 |
| stefanos | :/ | 16:01 |
| abhijit | !ask | stefanos | 16:02 |
| ubottu | stefanos: 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. :-) | 16:02 |
| hylian | bareego thank for trying to help though, this is an ubuntu, or should i say a "system monitor" problem. maybe sm is a 32 bit app, and cant rewad my memory to the full extent? | 16:02 |
| stefanos | how to install a theme on xubuntu? | 16:02 |
| abhijit | stefanos, try in #xubuntu | 16:02 |
| guampa | hylian: i guess you've already seen this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1125470.html | 16:02 |
| bareego | hylian can only think it might not take cache into account or that video uses mem space | 16:02 |
| hylian | video card does not use mem space. | 16:03 |
| bareego | it shouldn't on 64 bit | 16:03 |
| bareego | on 32 bit it would | 16:03 |
| randy_ | hylian: your BIOS could be reporting badly | 16:03 |
| guampa | also http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-4gb-ram-limitation-solution/ | 16:03 |
| hylian | let me put it another way windows 7 on this machine reports 4.0 gigs. ubuntu 64 bit reports 3.2, through the system monitor. i know sm is wrong, just curious why. | 16:03 |
| xangua | stefanos you can get themes in http://xfce-look.org/ , normally you extract them and put them on ~/.themes ~/.icons | 16:04 |
| riley | Hey guys; just installed 10.04 on my two work boxes; one works just fine, the other boots to terminal with no network, and reports (falsely) of disk errors sometimes. Drives have been checked and are fine. | 16:04 |
| hylian | randy, pclinuxos 2010 64 bit also reports 4.0 gig. not a mobo problem, but thanx | 16:05 |
| riley | I guess it could be the old nvidia-apic bug becoming more severe | 16:06 |
| saymoo | how is 64bit nowadays for desktop usage? | 16:06 |
| sorrell | great. | 16:06 |
| askhader | Just fine with me | 16:06 |
| saymoo | i remember big incompatibility issues | 16:07 |
| abhijit | saymoo, very cool!!! | 16:07 |
| askhader | How long ago? | 16:07 |
| saymoo | a few years back | 16:07 |
| askhader | lol | 16:07 |
| kryptyk | saymoo: I use it daily as my produtcion machine at work without a single issue | 16:07 |
| sorrell | if you have a 64bit CPU you should be running 64bit 10.04 | 16:07 |
| saymoo | so i reverted to 32 bit because of that | 16:07 |
| terry__ | How to completely uninstall ubuntu with windows? | 16:07 |
| ikonia | terry__: you know that's not possible | 16:07 |
| sburjan | hello. I have accidentally deleted my top panel.. aplications, watch, etc .. can you tell me how to restore it ? | 16:07 |
| abhijit | !64 | saymoo | 16:07 |
| ubottu | saymoo: AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. | 16:07 |
| terry__ | Why? | 16:07 |
| bazhang | terry__, wubi install? | 16:07 |
| terry__ | No I want to completely uninstall ubuntu? | 16:08 |
| terry__ | and use windows | 16:08 |
| riley | saymoo, my work boxen have been 64 bit linux for years, works great | 16:08 |
| saymoo | abhijit: i know it´s supported, thanks, but the question was about desktop usage, as in daily operation (additional software, libs, that kind) | 16:08 |
| riley | except for this new 10.04 install that I'm currently debugging... | 16:08 |
| sorrell | terry_, If you installed it via wubi go through the add or remove programs menu in windows. | 16:08 |
| bareego | just boot from windows DVD and wipe the drive | 16:08 |
| riley | seems to really dislike the concept of booting. | 16:09 |
| TheEskimo | terry__: To do that is not too difficult. When you are installing windows just choose to delete all your partitions andthen create one ntfs one | 16:09 |
| abhijit | saymoo, i use it in my laptop. working very well. | 16:09 |
| ikonia | terry__: you know that's not possible, it's not an applicaiton to uninstall, you have to remove the partition, and put the windows mbr on | 16:09 |
| TheEskimo | terry__: Make sure to backup everything first though | 16:09 |
| ikonia | terry__: putting the windows mbr can be discussed in ##windows channel | 16:09 |
| riley | or on google >_> | 16:09 |
| kryptyk | ikonia: it is possible if it was installed inside of Windows using WUBI | 16:09 |
| TheEskimo | terry__: just install windows like normal pretty much. | 16:09 |
| ikonia | kryptyk: he said he's not using wubi | 16:09 |
| kryptyk | ikonia: I see now - apologies | 16:10 |
| saymoo | ok.. i´ll try it again soon, hope it works this time without haslles i had back then | 16:10 |
| tim | I forgot my administration password. How can I recover it? | 16:10 |
| ikonia | kryptyk: no need for apologies | 16:10 |
| riley | if you're not using wubi it's pretty much just a standard format-and-install, windows users have to do that every 6-8 months anyway | 16:10 |
| terry__ | When I reboot with windows boot cd its doing nothing!!!! | 16:10 |
| sorrell | tim you can't | 16:10 |
| bareego | tim, you need to recover or just clear it ? | 16:10 |
| TheEskimo | tim: you can boot into the recovery installation and use passwd | 16:10 |
| riley | terry_, that sounds like a boot CD problem or a hardware problem | 16:10 |
| ikonia | terry__: that's nothing to do with ubuntu, discuss that in ##windows please | 16:10 |
| TheEskimo | tim: you can only change it, not find what the old one was | 16:10 |
| terry__ | ok | 16:10 |
| tim | theeskimo how do i do that? | 16:11 |
| TheEskimo | tim: when you boot up grub shows up and there should be the option to boot normal ubuntu or one that says recovery | 16:11 |
| TheEskimo | tim: you then can get to a root shell and from there the command passwd will allow you to change your password | 16:11 |
| saymoo | tim: the reason you cannot recover that password, is because it´s encrypted. if it wasn´t it would be a severe security issue | 16:12 |
| tim | thx | 16:12 |
| rafaelvodka | #ubuntu-br | 16:12 |
| TheEskimo | tim: if that doesn't work there are other options so do ask. I hope that does work though | 16:12 |
| tim | thx | 16:12 |
| kryptyk | tim: if you are using 10.04 and it is the only installed OS, you won't see the GRUB menu at boot | 16:12 |
| randy_ | hylian: hmm... in my googling there are a lot of mentions of 'memory remapping' in the BIOS fixing their problem with 64bit Ubuntu. I'm not saying this is what your problem is, but it couldn't hurt to check maybe | 16:12 |
| kryptyk | tim: you need to hold down SHIFT while it is booting | 16:12 |
| Misterio | In ubuntu server, what is necessary to do to make a process to autostart? | 16:12 |

| jpds | Misterio: Might want to ask #ubuntu-server | 16:13 |
| TheEskimo | Misterio: You can add it to init.d | 16:13 |
| jpds | sinurge: alpha-1 is dead, use alpha-2. | 16:13 |
| TheEskimo | Misterio: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto | 16:13 |
| randy_ | Misterio: yeah, you just add the apache symlink from /etc/init.d to the normal init it boots to | 16:13 |
| philinux | tim: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword | 16:13 |
| Misterio | randy_: Oh okay, I was asking in -server | 16:14 |
| Misterio | randy_: Thanks | 16:14 |
| hylian | randy_ maybe you would know this, why does some of the apps i install (hwinfo) (virtualbox) report the proper amount of ram, but not the system monitor for ubuntu? | 16:14 |
| sinurge | yup stupid me not checking the release schedule email, thanks jpds | 16:15 |
| Docteh_ | hylian: what kind of difference? | 16:15 |
| cens0red | hey I just removed pulseaudio | 16:16 |
| Docteh_ | sweet | 16:16 |
| saymoo | nice | 16:16 |
| === sinistrad_ is now known as sinistrad | ||
| sorrell | cens0red, why? | 16:16 |
| nascentmind | I am getting ata1.00 error status:{DRDY ERR} and error:{UNC} after an upgrade. What is the problem? I even tried to mount /dev/sda1 in busybox shell and it gives the same error. | 16:16 |
| Docteh_ | DRDY ERR is drive ready error | 16:17 |
| sinurge | does a 64 bit installation have the lib32 as well do i have to download it seperately | 16:17 |
| cens0red | sorrell because it didn't seem to work very well, a lot of videos ended up with audio out of sync too, and I think it was an unnecessary drain my meagre system resources. | 16:17 |
| saymoo | pulse isn´t to stable, and sometimes a pain in the black hole, to make it work with some applications | 16:17 |
| Docteh_ | software shouldn't caus that | 16:17 |
| randy_ | hylian: i suppose it would depend on where these apps were getting their information from | 16:17 |
| hylian | Docteh- well, some programs list all 4gb of my ram, along with some os's like pclinuxos 64 bit. i have 4 gigs. system monitor only lists 3.2 gb. this is not a bios problem or all os's would only list 3.2, thanx to an article given to me by someone else here... | 16:17 |
| sorrell | cens0red, that's understandable. | 16:18 |
| cens0red | it means I'm minus *ubuntu-desktop though | 16:18 |
| Docteh_ | hylian: are you running a 32bit kernel, if so is it pae? | 16:18 |
| Andrea88 | hi all .. how i can auto-connect on boot to a FTP server with autentication (Ubuntu 10.04)? | 16:18 |
| sorrell | cens0red, you mean as in no GUI? | 16:19 |
| saymoo | Andrea88: you mean, during the boot process, you need to initiate a ftp connection? | 16:19 |
| sorrell | cens0red, or now you just have standard gnome? | 16:19 |
| Night_Elf | In all ubuntu versions, the monitors.xml file is located at /home/username/.config am I correct? Then after this, if I delete that file, will it be created again? (I wouldn't want this) | 16:20 |
| Andrea88 | saymoo: or after the boot .. it's the same .. | 16:20 |
| nascentmind | Docteh_: yes but why?everything was running fine until the upgrade | 16:20 |
| nascentmind | Docteh_: is it trying a wrong device? | 16:20 |
| cens0red | sorrell I guess. I haven't noticed any difference yet. | 16:20 |
| hylian | Costeh- i am running a amd64 bit version of ubuntu 10.04 | 16:20 |
| sorrell | cens0red, cool | 16:20 |
| Docteh_ | well hardware has to die doing something, running updates, sitting on a shelf, etc | 16:21 |
| Andrea88 | saymoo: i need to mount like gvfs can do .. | 16:21 |
| nascentmind | Docteh_: if the bootloader can boot the kernel from the drive then shouldn't it be able to mount? | 16:21 |
| saymoo | Andrea88: you could edit the /etc/rc.local | 16:21 |
| hylian | Docteh_ my theory is that System Monitor is a 32 bit app, and can't read all 4 gigs, is that a possibility? | 16:21 |
| Docteh_ | the bootloader is the first 512 bytes of the drive | 16:22 |
| Docteh_ | hylian: it should just ask the kernel, are you running with a 32bit environment? | 16:22 |
| ikonia | hylian: are you running a 32bit os ? | 16:22 |
| saymoo | or the .bashrc | 16:22 |
| saymoo | depending on when you want it to run | 16:22 |
| Docteh_ | hylian: run free from command line if you want to be sure | 16:22 |
| nascentmind | Docteh_: should i try to mount the drive in some other machine and run fsck? | 16:22 |
| hylian | Docteh_ i am running a 64 bit environment, ubuntu 10.04 amd64 | 16:22 |
| Andrea88 | saymoo: ok .. but the question is .. what command i should do? | 16:22 |
| Night_Elf | In all ubuntu versions, the monitors.xml file is located at /home/username/.config am I correct? Then after this, if I delete that file, will it be created again? (I wouldn't want this) | 16:23 |
| Docteh_ | hylian: so why are you limited to 3.2gb? | 16:23 |
| ikonia | hylian: then your application is 64bit | 16:23 |
| saymoo | well, to initiate a ftp connection, use the ftp command | 16:23 |
| saymoo | :) | 16:23 |
| Docteh_ | nascentmind: try and mount it yea | 16:23 |
| saymoo | or, if you just want to download a file of a ftp server, you could also use wget | 16:23 |
| Night_Elf | a better text mode ftp application is ncftp. "sudo apt-get install ncftp" | 16:23 |
| hylian | Docteh_ free reports: 3349148. (3.2) but hwinfo reported 4096 mg and so did virtualbox...?? | 16:24 |
| Docteh_ | nascentmind: if its hardware like the computer its in thinks, a fsck wouldn't help | 16:24 |
| moony | django | 16:24 |
| Docteh_ | hylian: free asks the kernel, the other apps probe the hardware probably | 16:24 |
| Andrea88 | saymoo: i need to mount the FTP server locally .. like gvfs can do .. | 16:24 |
| grendal_prime | sipior, ok i used the ssh-add to add the key to the (aparently running key agent) but it is not using it. | 16:24 |
| randy_ | hylian: yeah, there's something wonky in the kernel | 16:24 |
| Docteh_ | hylian: check dmesg near the top, i gotta get going tho | 16:24 |
| saymoo | ooh ok | 16:24 |
| saymoo | my bad | 16:24 |
| saymoo | :) | 16:24 |
| hylian | Docteh_ well then i guess my next question is am i able to fully use all 4 gigs? | 16:24 |
| grendal_prime | how do i tell the key agent wich ip addresses to use it on? | 16:25 |
| saymoo | don´t know in that case | 16:25 |
| saymoo | never mounted ftp connections | 16:25 |
| saymoo | :) | 16:25 |

| coz_ | Buzza, ok hold on | 16:39 |
| randy_ | rickys: the error you received earlier told you where the problem was, it was on line 121, so if you use a text editor, like gedit, and check /etc/apt/sources.list, you should find something you may have added | 16:40 |

| abhijit | ovnicraft, install pgadmin3 its gui interface | 18:11 |
| kerebrus | texastwister how do I go about editing mount point permisisons? | 18:11 |

| Hilikus | anyone knows if its possible to rdesktop to a dual screen server? | 18:11 |
| ovnicraft | ActionParsnip, i cant run the server | 18:11 |
| abhijit | philinux, ohhh. so what should i dot now in order get those program running? | 18:12 |
| kerebrus | ZykoticK9 ext3 and ntfs | 18:12 |
| ovnicraft | i cant find the data dir | 18:12 |
| Pici | ovnicraft: How did you install it? | 18:12 |
| philinux | abhijit: does the OS run ok even with these erros | 18:12 |

| rgnr | hey ppl | 18:12 |
| rgnr | i just dualboot windows and linux | 18:12 |
| rgnr | but after i updated grub windows dowsn't boot up | 18:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Underscore: what correct softweare? You can try a live cd if you want. but none of them come with the nvidia drivers. | 18:12 |
| ovnicraft | try to run the script in init.d dont run | 18:12 |
| rgnr | but restarts the machine instead | 18:12 |
| abhijit | philinux, yes os runs fine. only problem with some application softwares such as pgadmin3 and codelite | 18:12 |
| rob_p | jon__: What does your /etc/resolv.conf file look like? What you said doesn't sound right. | 18:12 |
| Pici | ovnicraft: Did you install it from the repositories? | 18:12 |
| ovnicraft | pici apt-get install posgresql | 18:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Underscore: or install to a flash drive to let you fully install the restricted drivers and so forth to test it out | 18:12 |
| cwhaleyjr | is a console screen driven by the same driver as your X screen? for instance if you use cntr alt f1 to get a full screen console? | 18:12 |
| ZykoticK9 | kerebrus, for ext3 just change the permission on the mount point, for ntfs i can't help - consult the NTFS mounting documentation... good luck. | 18:12 |
| philinux | abhijit: I ssume you've tried purging and reinstalling them | 18:13 |
| ActionParsnip | rgnr: ease up on the enter key, champ | 18:13 |
| abhijit | philinux, yah tried for pgadmin3. but no success. | 18:13 |
| jon__ | rob_p: search example.com \n nameserver x.x.x.x | 18:13 |
| kerebrus | ZykoticK9 problem is I dont know how to change the permissions as my question earlier stated. | 18:13 |
| Underscore | Dr_Willis: I'm trying to partition the drive, though o_O | 18:13 |
| ovnicraft | ActionParsnip, that site is poor | 18:13 |
| Dr_Willis | cwhaleyjr: no it is not. the console is not being conrolled by X, it can be using the 'framebuffer' however. | 18:13 |
| kerebrus | ZykoticK9 changing the settings is what got me into this mess. | 18:13 |
| ActionParsnip | rgnr: try running: sudo update-grub see if it detects it in the output | 18:13 |
| kop__ | actually have a question this time How can I tell this brain dead update manager to leave Grub alone and ignore google chrome ? | 18:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | kerebrus, for the ext for ntfs? | 18:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Underscore: i use the various live cd's to reparittion windows all the time. gparted also has its own 'gparted live cd' and other variants | 18:13 |
| ovnicraft | i want to know when the installation run the initdb in any script to create the postgres user and data core | 18:13 |
| philinux | abhijit: what about removing it's .config folder in home | 18:13 |
| abhijit | philinux, after removing using purge do i need to logout and login to reinstall it? or i can just start install in next line? | 18:14 |
| ovnicraft | what is the script what does that? | 18:14 |
| abhijit | philinux, let me try | 18:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | kerebrus, s/for ntfs/or ntfs | 18:14 |
| ovnicraft | if here anyone know it off course | 18:14 |
| ysis | Hi, I'd like to transfer an existing Xubuntu 10.04 installation to a new computer (new HDD, new processor, etc.) Since it's a multi-user system how would you proceed? Creating the users and then just copying the home directories? | 18:14 |
| Underscore | Dr_Willis: So i need that one, right? Not the generic Ubuntu desktop install liveCD? | 18:14 |
| FabParma | to store data only, it is better ext2 or ext3? | 18:14 |
| ActionParsnip | ovnicraft: have you asked in #pgp | 18:14 |
| jon__ | rob_p: to be more exact, the fqdn i want is s1.example.net when the one shown in the system is s1.example.com | 18:14 |
| cwhaleyjr | text from grub looks normal but after linux loads everything is blurry except the Xscreen | 18:14 |
| ActionParsnip | FabParma: what sort of disk is the data going to be on? | 18:14 |
| saegeoff | FabParma: ext3 is newer and better to protect against corruption | 18:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Underscore: the ubuntu live cd.. can work fine. You may need to install gparted.. but the installer should also be able to resize | 18:15 |
| ActionParsnip | FabParma: ext2 is better for flash drives as it makes them last longer due to no journal | 18:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Underscore: in mot sure what your 'original' problems are that you are having so many issues... | 18:15 |
| jon__ | rob_p: and when i nslookup s1.example.net, it returns me s1.example.net.example.com | 18:15 |
| ovnicraft | ActionParsnip, yes they tell that ubuntu has init script | 18:15 |
| kerebrus | ZykoticK9 I used gparted to change the partition type and filesystem on one of my drives from ntfs to ext3 when I remounted the drive the user no longer had control of the device, I was told to edit my mount permissions, so I edited my fstabm, but now even though it says user has full rwx I cant do anything to the drives | 18:15 |
| rob_p | jon__: Is example.com valid on your network? Comment out the search directive and leave your nameservers and see if it makes a difference. | 18:15 |
| ovnicraft | to do it for me | 18:15 |
| ovnicraft | but it doesnt | 18:15 |
| ActionParsnip | ovnicraft: ok, have you tried a reboot since the install? | 18:15 |
| abhijit | philinux, after removing using purge do i need to logout and login to reinstall it? or i can just start install in next line? | 18:15 |
| jon__ | rob_p: no, example.com points to another domain not owned by me | 18:15 |
| Underscore | Dr_Willis: Ok, I'll just give it a shot. Basically windows isn't letting me shrink the drive, and I can't defrag it down to 0%. So I needed another way to shrink/partition. | 18:15 |
| jon__ | rob_p: example.net is the domain owned by me | 18:15 |
| Dr_Willis | kerebrus: when you use ext2/3/4 You need to set the permissions/ownership of the dirs and files On teh filesystem. Not alter the fstab | 18:16 |
| ovnicraft | ActionParsnip, in unix world you dont reboor to get a service up just run the daemon and works | 18:16 |
| philinux | abhijit: never used that app before so dont know | 18:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Underscore: ask in ##windows for extra defrag tools | 18:16 |
| ovnicraft | i think ubuntu works like that | 18:16 |
| jon__ | rob_p: if it helps, i actually just installed direactadmin on a fresh install of ubuntu 10.02 | 18:16 |
| abhijit | philinux, no. i am asking about sudo apt-get remove --purge thing | 18:16 |
| atxq | hey, I am looking for some application that lets me check my email on the command line | 18:16 |
| ActionParsnip | ovnicraft: its free to try, might make it nice. I'm fully aware of the no reboot NIX mantra | 18:16 |
| atxq | any suggestions? | 18:16 |
| rob_p | jon__: So you run your own nameserver for example.net and that is the box providing authoritative answers for example.net? | 18:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | kerebrus, could you pastebin your /etc/fstab and the output of "mount"? | 18:16 |
| Underscore | ActionParsnip: I did try there first, no one answered my question :/ But I'm going to try GParted from the boot CD anyway. | 18:16 |
| jon__ | rob_p: emm meaning? | 18:17 |
| kop__ | Underscore, sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs as well as gpartd | 18:17 |
| philinux | abhijit: no just reinstall . sudo apt-get purge XXX is all you need the reinstall | 18:17 |
| ovnicraft | ActionParsnip, are you telling me that daemon is not working? | 18:17 |
| rob_p | jon__: Also, why do you have search example.com in your resolv.conf? | 18:17 |
| ovnicraft | need reboot? | 18:17 |
| SubCool | Could someone assist me make this Very simple instructions work? http://www.davelachapelle.ca/guides/ubuntu-tightvnc-server/ - i cant do : -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root or | 18:17 |
| jon__ | rob_p: i have no idea why | 18:17 |
| abhijit | philinux, okk | 18:17 |
| rob_p | jon__: Get rid of it! :-) | 18:17 |
| spitzi | Hi all. | 18:17 |
| jon__ | oh okay | 18:17 |
| ActionParsnip | ovnicraft: i'm just saying a reboot may fix it, you can check running daemons etc and you can restart them too | 18:17 |
| atxq | I installed sendemail, but wanted something that I can read/send emails through cli | 18:18 |
| sha1sum | okay this is strange but my username was removed from sudoers | 18:18 |
| sha1sum | how can I get it back in? | 18:18 |
| ActionParsnip | ovnicraft: you can ask in the other channel what file the app is looking for | 18:18 |
| ovnicraft | ActionParsnip, i am feel like windows user in ubuntu with gnome faces | 18:18 |
| ActionParsnip | atxq: mutt | 18:18 |
| jon__ | rob_p: thanks, you're a lifesaver (: | 18:18 |
| atxq | thanks, will check | 18:18 |
| kop__ | How can I tell this brain dead update manager to leave Grub alone and ignore google chrome ? | 18:18 |

| Hilikus | anyone knows if its possible to rdesktop to a dual screen remote desktop server? | 18:19 |
| ActionParsnip | kop__: well if you get a kernel upgrade it wont be added to the boot list so you will always boot the same kernel | 18:19 |
| Hilikus | i'm using tsclient | 18:19 |
| sha1sum | ZykoticK9: no. I know how to add myself to that group but the problem is I will need sudo access to do it right? | 18:19 |
| philinux | abhijit: Are thes apps from the regular ubuntu repo or ppa | 18:19 |
| sha1sum | I mean, I suppose I could su in but I don't know the root pass | 18:19 |
| ovnicraft | kop_, windows sucks maybe ubuntu less bit | 18:19 |
| abhijit | philinux, regular repo | 18:19 |
| jon__ | rob_p: im quite new to these stuff. just got my first dedicated server... whats the best practice for the fqdn.. say the fqdn is s1.example.net | 18:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Hilikus: yes, what OS is the server? | 18:19 |

| picard1421 | what is the right name for the kde4-dev package??? | 18:20 |
| philinux | abhijit: did it start after a kernel upgrade? | 18:20 |
| sha1sum | ZykoticK9: I think I might have messed this up trying to add myself to another group and didn't append to groups but replaced | 18:20 |
| ActionParsnip | kop__: grub legacy is still available in repos | 18:20 |
| jon__ | rob_p: do i need to make sure s1.example.net resolve? | 18:20 |
| picard1421 | for apt-get | 18:20 |
| quigybo | spitzi: use matlab -desktop | 18:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Hilikus: then I'd ask in ##windows to see if the protocol supports the dual screen etc | 18:20 |
| Hilikus | ActionParsnip: it does. i already know that | 18:20 |
| abhijit | philinux, no after that day kubutu removing stuff you gave me that web site link. remember? i was useful but it creates some side effects | 18:20 |
| Hilikus | i just need to make the client request the dual screen mode | 18:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Hilikus: then connect and it should be fine | 18:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | kerebrus, ok, so what is the permission you want to give? you could add user to fstab to give all users access to mount/umount the drive. and or you may need to alter the permission on the mount point /media/sdc1. | 18:21 |
| rob_p | jon__: That's a valid fqdn so I don't know what you mean. Yes, of course you want to make it resolve if it's valid. | 18:21 |
| RyanP | I have an interactive script that I have a need to run from within the initramfs. If I boot using break=init and run the script, it works fine. If I change the boot scripts to run my script, the script runs but doesn't accept input. What's going on? | 18:21 |
| jon__ | rob_p: resolve as in, when i enter http://s1.example.net, it should point to the server's IP? | 18:21 |
| kerebrus | ZykoticK9 well I would like full permission over the drives, including mount/unmount writing to the drive, etc... | 18:21 |
| rob_p | jon__: In your zone file for your domain, simply create an, "A" record for s1.example.net and you're golden. | 18:22 |
| hisham| | What's up geeks ? | 18:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Hilikus: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/rdesktop-w-dual-monitors-657775/ | 18:22 |
| rob_p | jon__: Yes, exactly. | 18:22 |
| sha1sum | Is there a way to find the root password if you've been removed from sudoers accidentally? | 18:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Hilikus: looks like you have to specify the geometry of the desktop you are connecting to | 18:22 |
| bastidrazor | sha1sum: Ubuntu doesn't have a root password. | 18:22 |
| cwhaleyjr | if X uses a X server what does the console use?> | 18:22 |
| kop__ | ActionParsnip, I know legacy grub is still in repos I just get tired of repeatedly having to tell this gui to ignore the upgrade to grub2 which then requires a near reinstall on the base OS (don't ask _ my dumb mistake) | 18:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | sha1sum, if you need too, boot to Recovery Mode (hold down shift while computer starts to get grub if you are using grub2). but you need to be in the admin group in order to use sudo. | 18:22 |
| philinux | abhijit: not sure what to suggest other than install kubuntu-desktop. I dont think those apps have any kde dependencies. | 18:22 |
| frxstrem | how can I create .zip files in Ubuntu (from command line)? | 18:23 |
| abhijit | philinux, ohhh. we just did lots of things that day to remove kubuntu. now i dont want to install it again. :( | 18:23 |
| sha1sum | ZykoticK9: gotcha thanks. | 18:23 |
| spitzi | quigybo - thanks, that did the trick. Is "-desktop" a common CLI option or a matlab quirk ? | 18:23 |

| jon__ | rob_p: hmm using http://www.simpledns.com/lookup-dg.aspx, i've traced s1.example.net and it ended up at "Answer: A-record for s1.example.net = [ip of server]" | 18:23 |
| philinux | abhijit: is your home on it's own partition | 18:23 |
| quigybo | spitzi: matlab quirk :P | 18:23 |

| abhijit | philinux, you mena on ubuntu forums? | 18:29 |
| ActionParsnip | rob_p: it is :) | 18:29 |

| asdfasdfasdfasdf | guampa, i did up there here it is again: "hello i have a 5.2 home theatre connected through spdif to pc, when i listen to mp3 files quality it's a bit bad but when i play movies the sounds it's better, if i connect pc to home theatre through analog ports will i get better sound quality?" | 18:29 |
| tensorpudding | J11: the user on the machine running the vncserver doesn't matter, you just need to know the display they're using | 18:29 |
| philinux | abhijit: Explain what you did | 18:29 |
| ActionParsnip | J11: once you VNC over, vnc to the other system. It'll run like a dog but is possible | 18:29 |

| ubottu | SubCool: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 18:30 |
| guampa | asdfasdfasdfasdf: just entered the room :), maybe the mp3 has low quality? | 18:30 |
| SubCool | abhijit, im sorry did u miss my 5 attempts? | 18:31 |
| asdfasdfasdfasdf | guampa, ah, dunno mp3's are 320 kbps | 18:31 |
| SubCool | but since ur free- do you know how to solve my issue? | 18:31 |
| abhijit | SubCool, yes | 18:31 |
| asdfasdfasdfasdf | guampa, also they sound better on headphones, | 18:31 |
| ActionParsnip | SubCool: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root can be acieved with: sudo chown root:root file; sudo chmod 755 file | 18:31 |
| kerebrus | ZykoticK9 well that fixed the problem with being able to mount and unmount on ext3 but it pissed of my ntfs drives but still not able to write to the ext3 | 18:31 |
| abhijit | SubCool, i am niether free and I dunno solution because i dunno your problem. | 18:31 |

| rubydiamond | How can I change root password of Ubuntu if I forgot it.. | 18:31 |
| rubydiamond | I am not able to login to system | 18:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | kerebrus, change the permission of the mount point. | 18:32 |
| ActionParsnip | !noroot | rubydiamond | 18:32 |
| ubottu | rubydiamond: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 18:32 |
| guampa | asdfasdfasdfasdf: do they sound lo-fi, low volume..? | 18:32 |
| rubydiamond | !root | 18:32 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 18:32 |
| SubCool | ActionParsnip, well my problem is i want to verify its permission, but when i do a ls -l it says permission denied.. | 18:32 |

| ActionParsnip | SubCool: try: sudo -l file | 18:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | kerebrus, to give EVERYONE read/wright access "sudo chmod ugo+rwx /media/sdc1" | 18:34 |
| rubydiamond | ActionParsnip: ? | 18:34 |
| Guest81707 | I can see the pendrive in gparted but format option is not coming up | 18:34 |
| ActionParsnip | rubydiamond: use: sudo -i you will get the same effect. | 18:34 |
| Pici | rubydiamond: you cannot use 'su' because the root password is locked. On ubuntu, use sudo -i | 18:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest81707: unmount the partition then | 18:34 |
| Pici | rubydiamond: Please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information | 18:34 |
| Guest81707 | I tried as well | 18:34 |
| kerebrus | ZykoticK9 would sudo chmod 777 /media/sdc1 do the same? | 18:34 |
| Guest81707 | by typing this command umount /dev/sdb | 18:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest81707: ok then run: sudo fdisk -l ; mount if the partition is mounted run: sudo umount /dev/partitionnamehere | 18:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | kerebrus, you might also have permission issues on the file system already. | 18:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | kerebrus, 777=rwx yes | 18:35 |
| guampa | asdfasdfasdfasdf: if it happens with every mp3 maybe it's the 5.1 channels | 18:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest81707: you cant mount /dev/sdb you CAN mount /dev/sdb1 | 18:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest81707: sdb is the disk, sdb1 is the first partition. You dont format drives. you format partitions | 18:36 |
| ZykoticK9 | kerebrus, i did not suggest you apply that recursively however! it will mess up all your actual files (it should ONLY be applied to directories/folders) | 18:36 |
| rubydiamond | Pici: but on my Ubuntu slice/server I am able to do su - | 18:36 |
| Guest81707 | do i need to create the partition | 18:36 |
| rubydiamond | but behavior is different on my desktop | 18:36 |
| asdfasdfasdfasdf | guampa, yes all mp3's but when i play music i make home theatre go in 2 channels mode. | 18:36 |
| Pici | rubydiamond: That is not the default or supported configuration. | 18:36 |
| SubCool | ActionParsnip, ty- ill give it a try | 18:36 |
| rubydiamond | Pici: I haven't changed any config | 18:37 |
| Pici | rubydiamond: If you're using a VPS then your provider might have setup the default image differently. | 18:37 |
| asdfasdfasdfasdf | guampa, and either i do that or not still bad sound quality :( | 18:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest81707: so: sudo umount /dev/sdb1 should unmount it. If there is not already a partition you will need to create one. Most usb stick things have one to accommodate ignorant windows users | 18:37 |
| J11 | I just get a gray screen with an X-shaped mousepointer when connecting to the vncserver. When doing sudo xwd i use -display :0.0 to get a screenshot, I just run vncserver :0 as sudoing it gives an error. | 18:37 |

| rubydiamond | yeah | 18:37 |

| Guest81707 | there is no sdb1 | 18:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | J11, i doubt sudoing vnc is a good idea | 18:38 |
| Pici | rubydiamond: Take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword | 18:38 |

| ZykoticK9 | rubydiamond, au Ubuntu doesn't need root, when i see people doing this i know they are doing something wrong ;) | 18:39 |

| ActionParsnip | Starky: can you give the output of: sudo lshw -C network; sudo iwlist scan | head -n 20 thanks (use http://pastie.org) | 18:57 |
| guest | coz_ don't worry (coz xv doesn't help to me) -- it's linux -- I have to solve the problem by myself :) | 18:57 |
| ActionParsnip | wbc: ok thats cool, should be kinda on the way out then imho | 18:57 |
| RyanP | Does anyone know anything about initramfs? I'm trying to run an interactive script from with initramfs, using the init script. The script starts, but doesn't accept any input. Is there anywhere better I could ask? | 18:58 |

| graffy | I changed permission from 644 to 755 on a file, and now I don't have permission to rename it | 18:59 |
| tensorpudding | graffy: that's not possible | 19:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Starky: don't copy "thanks (use http://pastie.org)" thats my pleasantry, thats why I left the big space | 19:00 |
| tensorpudding | is the permissions on it really 755? | 19:00 |
| abhijit | philinux, i checked. and i done exactly whta give on that web site. | 19:00 |
| graffy | i just changed it 777 and I still can't rename it | 19:00 |
| maco | graffy: that doesnt make sense | 19:00 |
| philinux | abhijit: Yes, but what did you do before that | 19:00 |
| maco | graffy: if you can chmod it, you should be able to rename it | 19:00 |
| ActionParsnip | graffy: use: sudo mv to rename it then 777 is a really bad idea | 19:01 |
| graffy | I know I can sudo mv it | 19:01 |
| froschi | graffy: i think you need write permission *on the directory* the file is in to rename it | 19:01 |
| graffy | but i have been experiencing this problem a lot recently | 19:01 |
| maco | froschi: that sounds right | 19:01 |
| graffy | im looking at ls -la and its 777 i cant rename | 19:01 |
| abhijit | philinux, hey but we are missing one thing. | 19:01 |
| SubCool | ActionParsnip, Permission denied | 19:01 |
| maco | graffy: what about the directory above? | 19:02 |
| tensorpudding | graffy: can you edit it? | 19:02 |
| abhijit | philinux, both programs were running before doing that. so no need to check what i did before that. whatsay? | 19:02 |
| graffy | cd .. | 19:02 |
| maco | graffy: ls -ld .. | 19:02 |
| philinux | abhijit: Are you sure | 19:02 |
| abhijit | philinux, yes. sure about pgadmin3 | 19:02 |
| ActionParsnip | SubCool: yikes, then i'd run: sudo chown $USER:$USER file and check the file permissions, then chown back to root:root | 19:02 |
| mullerk | hi there, i have a question... how could help me? | 19:03 |
| Pici | !ask | mullerk | 19:03 |
| ubottu | mullerk: 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. :-) | 19:03 |
| graffy | ah | 19:03 |
| graffy | i mounted the drive as root | 19:03 |
| graffy | ..... | 19:03 |
| abhijit | philinux, and also i checked. but nothing special related to any major component of os. | 19:03 |
| SubCool | how the hell, ActionParsnip - thanks. how did this happen? its a fresh install | 19:03 |
| Starky | ActionParsnip: Why would I use a pastebin for one line? | 19:03 |
| mullerk | great! so, i have a hp server, proliant dl120. I'm trying to install ubuntu 8.04, but the sata hard drive is not detected | 19:04 |
| philinux | abhijit: You could modify that command to install instead of remove and remove the last bit of it | 19:04 |
| okiu | tets | 19:04 |
| abhijit | philinux, ok. | 19:04 |
| abhijit | philinux, i wll try that and report to you. thanks :) | 19:05 |
| philinux | abhijit: I is off soon someone will help I'm sure | 19:05 |
| abhijit | philinux, yah | 19:05 |
| ActionParsnip | SubCool: fresh install is moot, its a file you made | 19:06 |
| mullerk | does anyone know how I can install an sata hard drive during the ubuntu 8.04 installation? | 19:06 |
| kaasinees | what does ubuntu as init? | 19:06 |

| ActionParsnip | Starky: it's not, its a LOT of lines and will look like this: http://pastie.org/1067440 | 19:08 |
| wildeja | bastidrazor, Would you mind telling a noob how you do that, i.e. call the help and direct it at a user name | 19:09 |

| SubCool | ActionParsnip, ah- | 19:10 |
| rg58sma | i have an error with ubuntu 9.10 | 19:10 |
| tensorpudding | kaasinees: I'm pretty sure upstart can use sys v initscripts | 19:10 |
| rg58sma | when boot i have this error | 19:10 |
| tensorpudding | The upshot of upstart is that it is event-driven | 19:10 |
| rg58sma | target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init | 19:11 |

| ubottu | wildeja, please see my private message | 19:11 |
| musketshot | anyone know what would effectively happen if I were to drop PulseAudio from synaptic? | 19:12 |
| wildeja | cool | 19:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Starky: tru: sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter bcmwl-kernel-source then run the hardware driver app and install the driver | 19:12 |
| Starky | :( | 19:12 |
| Starky | :( | 19:12 |
| ActionParsnip | rg58sma: boot to live cd and reinstall grub would be my first call | 19:13 |
| Starky | I guess I'll just have to use my iPod Touch to go online for the next few days | 19:13 |
| guampa | nikle: ubuntu doesn't remove drivers, it'll have the same driver set | 19:13 |
| Starky | until my new computer arrives | 19:13 |

| Zolomon | I just installed ubuntu server on a box. I only have terminal access. How do I install a GUI like gnome or some other window handler that I can use? | 19:14 |
| Zolomon | Or do I just want terminal? | 19:14 |
| ActionParsnip | gops: log a bug then | 19:14 |
| gops | can any one help me, I have a problem that i am unable to download youtube videos using youtube-dl | 19:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Zolomon: if you wanted a gui, why did you install the server edition? | 19:14 |
| Zolomon | I don't mind using the terminal. I'm pretty used to it at the moment.. | 19:14 |
| Zolomon | ActionParsnip: Because I want a server? :) | 19:15 |
| SubCool | ActionParsnip, after chown user user, it was still permission denied | 19:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Zolomon: the desktop can be used as a server | 19:15 |
| guampa | Zolomon: if you want a gui you can install gnome or kde or whatever from terminal | 19:15 |
| Zolomon | guampa: Ah, thanks! | 19:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Zolomon: there is nothing whatsoever stopping you from installing serverlike apps on the desktop | 19:15 |
| rg58sma | ActionParsnip | 19:15 |
| rg58sma | i have Lost+found folder only | 19:16 |
| aloon | Alsa sound is gone for me , is there an easy way to uninstall alsa and reinstall via repositories ? | 19:16 |
| rg58sma | but have used 50 gb | 19:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Zolomon: the whole popint of the server install is to BE headless and therefore impact less on the system as you wont be running a full desktop which takes up ram | 19:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Zolomon: i strongly suggest you reinstall using the desktop cd | 19:16 |
| ActionParsnip | or you can install ubuntu-desktop but it will also pull in the generic kernel, so will have the same effect as installing the desktop CD | 19:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Zolomon: you will just have an extra server kernel flapping around the place | 19:18 |
| rg58sma | ActionParsnip this is for me_ | 19:18 |
| milko | hi! | 19:18 |
| slinker1 | flapping about? don't get so technical there ap :) | 19:18 |
| milko | I bought a new laptop, a lenovo g460 | 19:18 |
| milko | and I have only 2 problems with ubuntu | 19:18 |
| lojack | Anyone know if I can add MODE=" " to a udev rule to make a block device read-only? | 19:18 |
| Pici | ActionParsnip: Just like installing server applications on the desktop version there is no problem installing desktop environments on the server version. A reinstall is really overkill. | 19:19 |
| milko | 1) when I connect external speakers, the laptop's speakrs keep working | 19:19 |
| milko | 2) ubuntu doesn't detect my bluetooth antena | 19:19 |
| milko | can somebody help me? | 19:19 |

| bastidrazor | blendmaster1024_: netsat from within the box or nmap | 19:21 |

| cablop | sorry | 19:54 |
| cablop | :) | 19:54 |
| maco | Zolomon: set the EDITOR variable in your .bashrc | 19:54 |
| Zolomon | like, if I type "visudo" I want VIM to be used and not nano? | 19:54 |
| Zolomon | ah, thanks maco! | 19:54 |
| guampa | what help do you need? | 19:54 |
| mullerk | hey guys, i'm still looking for how to install the ubuntu server in a hp server with sata driver.. the hd is not being reconized... somebody help me! | 19:54 |
| maco | cablop: sorry for my server i did that by going to my settings thing for my domain registrar and telling it my server's IP address. thats the only way ive ever done DNS... | 19:55 |
| Zolomon | maco: How can I do that..? ^^ EDITOR="/whatPath/vim"? | 19:55 |
| maco | Zolomon: /usr/bin/vim | 19:55 |
| maco | Zolomon: put "export" before it | 19:55 |
| nirvaana69 | when i started the pc for the first time it asked me and i enterted single user by mistake how do i enable it to multiple user?there is no user and groups there is only user in the admin | 19:55 |
| Zolomon | maco: thanks! And then source .bashrc ? | 19:55 |
| maco | Zolomon: export EDITOR=/usr/bin/vim | 19:55 |
| Pici | nirvaana69: What did it ask you? | 19:55 |
| maco | Zolomon: yep | 19:55 |
| Zolomon | maco: Many thanks. :) | 19:55 |
| cablop | i see maco... :( | 19:55 |
| cablop | welll | 19:55 |
| nirvaana69 | it asked me if iwanted a single user interface or where there will be multiple users of my pc? | 19:56 |
| dancek | Zolomon, you might want to also set VISUAL=/usr/bin/vim, i dunno what it's used for but it's in most people's configs. | 19:56 |
| Pici | nirvaana69: Er, and what do you see now? | 19:57 |
| Docteh_ | i dont have it set | 19:57 |
| maco | cablop: if the trouble is that you have >1 domain name being hosted on one server, you'll still need to configure dns, but then you need to play with vhosts in /etc/apache2/ ... probably apache2.conf (if i had to guess which file in that dir) | 19:57 |
| Pici | maco: Actually the default setup makes it easy to use vhosts by modifying files in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ | 19:58 |
| Docteh_ | cablop: are you assigning the domain or just a hostname? | 19:58 |
| nirvaana69 | i want that the pc should have two users one me and one for the rest of my family now it is just me and accepts only my passwordand as i start my pc it automatically logs me in | 19:58 |
| maco | Pici: ok. *shrug* ive never had to do this yet (which umm.. i should probably get around to eventually..since..ya know...syadmin) | 19:59 |
| Docteh_ | nirvaana69: find the users thingy in the gui and uncheck "automatically log in" | 19:59 |
| nirvaana69 | gut? | 19:59 |
| nirvaana69 | gui? | 19:59 |
| Docteh_ | !gui | 19:59 |
| ubottu | The graphical user interface (GUI) in Ubuntu is composed of many elements, including the !X server, a window manager, and a desktop environment such as !GNOME or !KDE (which themselves use the !GTK and !Qt toolkits respectively) | 19:59 |
| nirvaana69 | how do i enable mutiple user ? | 20:00 |
| Jordan_U | nirvaana69: System > Administration > Login Screen to disable auto login, System > Administration > Users and Groups to add / remove / modify users. | 20:00 |
| nirvaana69 | thanks! | 20:01 |
| edbian | nirvaana69, Strictly speaking, the system is multi-user because more than one user can log in at once. The easiest way to see this is with ssh. | 20:01 |
| Zolomon | hmm.. I never set the password for root, how do I set it? | 20:01 |
| Docteh_ | sudo passwd | 20:01 |
| Pici | Zolomon: You don't and shouldn't. Use sudo. | 20:01 |
| edbian | nirvaana69, Additionally, you can be logged into the system more than one time. Open the terminal eight times and type who into one of them. | 20:02 |
| Pici | !noroot | 20:02 |
| ubottu | We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 20:02 |
| seekHelp | when i try to install ATI driver i've got Sorry jockey system error installArchive() failed :"( | 20:02 |
| charley__ | !wfm | 20:02 |
| ubottu | Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 20:02 |
| seekHelp | Any one know the issue ? | 20:02 |
| charley__ | !root | 20:02 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 20:02 |
| Jordan_U | nirvaana69: Just for future reference "Single User Mode" is something very specific which you are *not* using. I just say this so that people don't misunderstand you in the future. | 20:03 |
| Docteh_ | this anti root stuff must be an apple thing | 20:03 |
| Zolomon | Pici: I try to use sudo for "iptables-save > /etc/iptables.up.rules" but I receive a Permission denied message. | 20:04 |
| dancek | Zolomon, if you wanna play around as root, just "sudo su" | 20:04 |
| maco | Zolomon: tee | 20:04 |
| Docteh_ | Zolomon: iptables-save | sudo tee /etc/iptables.up.rules | 20:04 |
| cablop | Docteh_: yes i need to assign the domain name, cause i need to be able to certify it, but mmmm i'm thinking that i can use another option, isn't it? just to create the certificates and so on | 20:05 |
| cablop | maco, the vhosts thing in the apache conf? | 20:05 |
| cablop | mmmm | 20:05 |
| Pici | dancek: And for the record, you should use sudo -i, not sudo su. | 20:05 |
| Docteh_ | certify for like ssl? | 20:05 |
| === roma_ is now known as Besogon | ||
| maco | cablop: ive never done it before. Pici knows whats up for doing that | 20:05 |
| === Besogon is now known as Shvonder | ||
| Pici | cablop: What kind of certificate are you looking for? | 20:06 |
| dancek | Pici, is that like "sudo su -"? i wouldn't say i always want that | 20:07 |
| maco | dancek: sudo -s = su | 20:07 |
| tensorpudding | Does dash read ~/.profile before starting? | 20:07 |
| maco | dancek: sudo -i = su - | 20:07 |
| Pici | maco: thanks for the explanation. | 20:07 |
| dancek | but why should i use them? | 20:07 |
| nirvaana69 | ok | 20:08 |
| Zolomon | dancek: Thanks! | 20:08 |
| dancek | it's easier to remember "sudo su" than "sudo -s", the same with "sudo -e" vs "sudo vi" | 20:08 |
| maco | dancek: fewer layers of indirection.. sudo su means executing a shell as root that switches to root | 20:08 |
| linxeh | dancek: sudo su is ridiculous | 20:08 |
| cablop | Pici: i just need to create an https apache server | 20:08 |
| Zolomon | maco: Trying to understand tee, what can you use it for? | 20:08 |
| cablop | just that | 20:08 |
| Zolomon | Docteh_: Thanks! | 20:08 |
| nikle | ok so i have a external hdd split into 2 primary partitions lets call them E and F. on E i have standard none bootable data on F i have extracted the ubuntu iso. will it boot F automatically or do i have to flag that as the boot partition some how? | 20:09 |
| maco | Zolomon: only thing ive used it for is taking output from one command and sudo tee'ing it to a root-owned file | 20:09 |
| Jordan_U | Zolomon: echo "something that needs to be appended to a file owned by root" | sudo tee -a /some/root/owned/file | 20:09 |
| maco | Zolomon: the "-a" option to tee is also handy to know about (append, so it acts like >> instead of >) | 20:10 |
| dancek | hmm, i think i have the memory and processing power for "sudo su"... i find learning new command-line switches more costly than an extra process or so | 20:10 |
| nikle | i'm in windows so not using gparted im using easeus partition master | 20:10 |
| azlon | can i assign more than one owner to a folder/file? | 20:10 |
| linxeh | !unetbootin | nikle | 20:10 |
| ubottu | nikle: 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 | 20:10 |
| Jordan_U | Zolomon: It can also be nice if you want to log the output of a command, but you still also want to see that output in stdout/err | 20:10 |
| linxeh | nikle: iirc, that should work fine with a hdd too | 20:10 |
| nikle | yh but i have multiple partitions | 20:11 |
| linxeh | nikle: mark one active | 20:11 |
| bastidrazor | azlon: read up on permissions here :: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 20:11 |
| floris | unetbootin should edit the boot manager shouldnt it? | 20:11 |
| schnux | nikle, you cant only extract the iso to the partition. never tried usb-hdd but unetbootin should work with that too, try it | 20:11 |
| Zolomon | Jordan_U: Ahh.. Thanks! And to you others as well. | 20:12 |
| Jordan_U | Zolomon: You're welcome. | 20:12 |
| Zolomon | What's the difference between '>' and '<'? | 20:12 |

| livingdaylight | anyone ever use paltalk? paltalk express is supposed to run as a flash version from any browser including Linux, but flash just keeps crashing :( | 21:09 |
| ikonia | Rhythmosa: no problem, no rush | 21:09 |
| Crazy | ilovefairuz: says failed to read scan data: network down | 21:09 |
| Rhythmosa | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot | 21:09 |
| ikonia | GodFather: it should do it automatically unless it's a differnt nvidia/ati card | 21:09 |
| floris | @godfather you'd have to install the new drivers and edit /etc/X11.conf | 21:09 |
| ilovefairuz | GodFather: should reconfigure itself unless you generated an xorg.conf manually | 21:09 |
| ikonia | Rhythmosa: ok, so what are you options | 21:09 |
| ikonia | floris: no he won't | 21:09 |
| ikonia | floris: xorg is dynamic now | 21:09 |
| floris | ow | 21:10 |

| GodFather | I had a nvidia now I have a different card that during a fresh install is automatically dedected and configed | 21:10 |
| ikonia | GodFather: what is the different card | 21:10 |
| Rhythmosa | well I can choose manual partition or auto | 21:10 |
| Cheery | I've gotten tired to ssh input feeback latency. Do you know some ssh-like tool that'd let me do commands and edit files without walking over the connection all the time? | 21:10 |
| ikonia | Rhythmosa: those two options are listed in the document you are reading | 21:10 |
| ikonia | Cheery: if your connection is poor, the tool won't matter, ssh is light | 21:11 |
| grendal_prime | anyone in here written any client connect scripts for openvpn? | 21:11 |
| Rhythmosa | yes and now Im on the manual screen, and it shows /dev/sda free space. when I hit enter on that, it asks me for either logical or primary | 21:12 |
| livingdaylight | could someone test paltalk express doesn't crash in their browser, so I can confirm it just hates me? | 21:12 |
| GodFather | Ok, installed a lucid on my netbook x worked ok, then rsync'ed a full system from a nvidia based system, now it expects an nvidia video which is not there. I just want to run the config tools to detect the hard video | 21:12 |
| Rhythmosa | among other options | 21:12 |
| ikonia | Rhythmosa: ok, so make a logical or a primary partition | 21:12 |
| Rhythmosa | but I don't know which one | 21:12 |

| ikonia | GodFather: what video card have you replaced it with | 21:12 |

| livingdaylight | ikonia, its just funny how people like to respond if someone is 'out of line' but ask nicely a million times and one get ignored - can be frustrating. Of course no one is under any obligation to do anything - I understand | 21:15 |
| ikonia | Rhythmosa: that is explained in the document | 21:15 |

| ikonia | Grozzy: don't | 21:19 |
| ikonia | Grozzy: if you remove that partition, grub will still be on your mbr and will not work | 21:19 |
| ikonia | Grozzy: you need to remove grub from the mbr | 21:19 |
| HeTaL | Copy your home folder, and redo the whole installation. | 21:19 |
| Crazy | ilovefairuz: zero upgrades available probably because its on another pc with no internet at all | 21:19 |
| ikonia | Grozzy: your kernel is also in /boot so you'll never be able to remove that as long as you want to use ubuntu | 21:19 |
| barbarianhero | Hi, I have a large PDF which spans several pieces of paper, does anyone know of an app in Ubuntu I can use to print it out? When I try and print it just prints the part that can fit on a single piece of paper? | 21:19 |

| ikonia | Rhythmosa: what was the problem ? | 21:25 |
| Rhythmosa | it just crashed, screen went weird | 21:25 |
| oCean_ | dp_: you can use gzip and tar combination: 'tar cvfz myzip.tgz /path/to/folder' | 21:25 |

| ilovefairuz | Crazy: yes i'll be around | 21:26 |

| bernz | ilovefairuz, yes! i was thinking about a clever combination of mounting and symlinking to make Ubuntu "share" those GRUB2-specific dirs with the other partition | 21:34 |

| oCean_ | KingSeta: have you tried w/out the -t option? | 21:43 |
| So_Confused | edbian: destination host unreachable | 21:43 |
| sometux | So_Confused, nmap allows you to discover the open ports on remote host | 21:43 |
| KingSeta | yes, then it means it needs a filetype! (i remember times it does alone...) | 21:43 |

After googling a bit, I found a solution to use testdisk and rebuild bootsector, and then run update-grub, however that did not work either. Whenever I try to boot windows, i get a blank screen and it just hangs. Anybody know of a solution ? | 21:56 |

| edbian | So_Confused, Odd though that you would be able to ping the router but not another computer. The firewall doesn't know the difference. It only sees an IP address. | 22:13 |
| So_Confused | edbian: wait... just 2 comps... wrong list | 22:13 |
| edbian | So_Confused, So I don't think the firewall on the mac is blocking this connection. It is possible though. | 22:13 |
| thinkingabout | zsquareplusc, you are right. No wonder it didn't seem to finish: 33693,2 s, 1,2 MB/s | 22:13 |
| edbian | So_Confused, What list has what in it? | 22:13 |
| Loshki | thinkingabout: for scrubbing disk drives, most people seem to use DBAN (http://www.dban.org) | 22:13 |
| thinkingabout | why is it so slow if I define bs to be 1 byte? | 22:13 |
| ryangp1 | Hello all, running 10.04 with the latest updates. I have external monitor connected to my Toshiba Laptop, but I can't seem to get the Laptop's display to turn off an only use the external monitor, any ideas ? | 22:14 |
| Alan502 | brummbaer, i'm still googling if NM has that feature. Wouldn't that type of daemon, looping constatly, make ubuntu slower? | 22:14 |
| So_Confused | edbian: dhcp list only shows my desktop and the ubuntu... not the server mac | 22:14 |
| thinkingabout | Loshki, I was trying to understand what DBAN does, kind of like getting my hands into the whys and hows | 22:14 |
| So_Confused | but the server mac is on the net... I'm browsing and everything | 22:14 |
| brummbaer | alan502: it would use a little bit of resources, but if you have it sleep for 30 seconds or so before re-checking, no problem | 22:14 |
| === spiros is now known as spyrosebastos | ||
| sometux | So_Confused, servers take static not dhcp | 22:15 |
| edbian | So_Confused, That's a problem. | 22:15 |
| edbian | sometux, Not necessarily | 22:15 |
| cast | thinkingabout: yes. | 22:15 |
| edbian | So_Confused, does the mac have a static ip ? It is possible | 22:15 |
| Loshki | thinkingabout: disk drives are block devices and work best when you use a block size that matches the disk and operating system. A bs of 1 is definitely suboptimal. I would recommend a blocksize of 1024... | 22:15 |
| sometux | edbian, but you need to know the ip for sure | 22:15 |
| Alan502 | brummbaer, ok ok, do you know how can i find the hostname of an ip from the command line? | 22:16 |
| cast | thinkingabout: you could use openssl -in /dev/zero to create a much faster PRNG than /dev/urandom :) | 22:16 |
| edbian | sometux, Yeah, it's annoying if they're on dhcp but that doesn't mean they have to be static. Also, there is such a thing as dhcp reservation. | 22:16 |
| brummbaer | alan502: what type of IP? internal? external? | 22:16 |
| Alan502 | brummbaer, that way i could script IF hostname=mydesktop then run my script | 22:16 |
| Alan502 | brummbaer, internal, LAN | 22:16 |
| zsquareplusc | thinkingabout: smaller block sizes are slow because the program sends a command to the linux kernel/disk etc for each block. smaller blocks -> more commands needed. usually a block site of many kilo bytes or even megabytes work fine | 22:16 |
| lfuser-116 | hello | 22:16 |
| disappearedng | hey does anyone here know where my xorg.conf is saved to right now? (there isn't a /etc/X11/xorg.conf) | 22:16 |
| So_Confused | edbian: server mac. I set it to have a static of 192.168.2.4 | 22:16 |
| lfuser-116 | does anyone knows how to install new browser or irc client to lipnus? | 22:17 |
| lfuser-116 | linpus i mean.. | 22:17 |
| Barnabas | disappearedng, xorg is gone in 10.04 | 22:17 |
| Barnabas | xorg.conf | 22:17 |
| edbian | So_Confused, You probably don't want to have the static address in the range of dhcp addresses. That might be the problem. What is your static range? | 22:17 |
| thinkingabout | zsquareplusc, would the logical thing to do to send 512-byte blocks, given that clusters are 512-bytes long? | 22:17 |
| So_Confused | edbian: that's the ip NOT showing in the dhcp list | 22:17 |
| disappearedng | Barnabas: then what is the substitution? | 22:17 |
| So_Confused | edbian: one sec | 22:17 |
| edbian | So_Confused, typo, what is your dhcp range? | 22:17 |
| Barnabas | gnome does the config | 22:17 |
| zsquareplusc | disappearedng: xorg nowdays can run without a config file. it will use automatic detection then. if you need the file, just create it | 22:18 |
| brummbaer | alan502: do you mean to find the ssid of a network connection, or the hostname of a physical machine on the network? | 22:18 |
| oCean_ | lfuser-116: what does that have to do with ubuntu? | 22:18 |
| So_Confused | edbian: 2 through 100 | 22:18 |
| edbian | So_Confused, I am thinking that the router doesn't send packets to ip addresses in the dhcp range that it has not given out. | 22:18 |
| edbian | So_Confused, So make the mac static IP 192.168.2.101 | 22:18 |
| So_Confused | edbian: will do. | 22:18 |
| edbian | So_Confused, And try all the pinging again. | 22:18 |
| thinkingabout | cast, another question (sorry for asking too much): given that I didn't specify a "count", is it normal that it gives the message "there's no free space in the device" as it reaches its end? | 22:18 |
| edbian | So | 22:18 |
| cast | thinkingabout: yes. | 22:19 |
| edbian | So_Confused, Does this make sense to you? Do I need to explain anything? Do you see anything wrong with what I'm doing?? | 22:19 |
| thinkingabout | thank you :) | 22:19 |
| thinkingabout | I come from a windows mindset, and being able to tamper with disks like this with such a simple command as dd is, makes me excited | 22:19 |
| disappearedng | <zsquareplusc> what if the automatic detection for this session is perfect? I remember that my xorg.conf used to crash my old settings and this time everything works out great | 22:19 |
| So_Confused | edbian: it makes sense... and what do you mean by wrong? (are you gonna hack me) | 22:19 |
| === nix is now known as Guest70361 | ||
| disappearedng | I need to save current settings to a correct xorg.conf for reliability purpose | 22:20 |
| oCean_ | thinkingabout: then there will be more to get excited about :) | 22:20 |
| zsquareplusc | thinkingabout: but the caches are much bigger, the drivers/disk can manage that 512 bytes/sector size on itself. | 22:20 |
| thinkingabout | oCean_, I hope so, I love the CLI | 22:20 |
| edbian | So_Confused, ha ha. No no, I just wanted your input. I'm not 100% sure about this. I'm just troubleshooting with you and I don't want to miss anything obvious. | 22:20 |
| yonahw | hi, where is my PATH variable defined? I don't see it in ~/.bashrc nor in /etc/profile | 22:20 |
| thinkingabout | zsquareplusc, could you define "cache" in this context¿? | 22:20 |
| So_Confused | edbian: progress!!! server can ping ubuntu... let me disable the firewall on the server and see if that ping works | 22:21 |
| edbian | So_Confused, That was the problem I bet :) | 22:21 |
| Alan502 | brummbaer, hmmm i meant but hostname of the physical machine but it'd be interesting to know the SSID too | 22:21 |
| thinkingabout | cast, what portions of a HDD would not be accessible using "dd"? only the g-list and the p-list? | 22:21 |
| brummbaer | alan502: i think what you want to do is grep output of iwconfig for ESSID: network name | 22:21 |
| sometux | edbian, hold sec So_Confused told that 22 showed on nmap test | 22:21 |
| zsquareplusc | thinkingabout: the disk itself has a cache (usually megabytes nowdays) and the linux kernel itself also uses cache ("buffers" if oyu look at the output of "free") | 22:21 |
| Alan502 | brummbaer, ok, that's a lot of help THANKS! | 22:21 |
| So_Confused | edbian: pinging both ways | 22:21 |

| disappearedng | anyway to save current xorg.conf settings ? | 22:22 |
| thinkingabout | cast, yes, the table where bad sectors are remapped into a different logical sector | 22:23 |

| c3l | edbian: ooh, thanks. btw, do you have any clue of whether its possible to install ubuntu with an installer that lets you choose what packages are to be insatlled? | 22:49 |
| edbian | So_Confused, yeah, it's likely after you reset it the machine's won't have connectivity. Usually you plug a machine into a working router and configure the machine, not the other way around. | 22:49 |
| Loshki | Hermaphrodisiaqu: we can hear you... | 22:49 |

| edbian | c3l, I don't think Ubuntu has the functionality. The packages that are installed by default are a huge part of what makes one distro from another. I'm sure there is a distro that let's you do that. | 22:50 |

| edbian | cast, c3l Well there ya go. I use debian and I didn't know that! :) | 22:52 |
| Loshki | c3l: I think there is a minimal install option (maybe on the alternative cd?) and from there you can pick and choose what packages you add, but unless you have a specific need, you're much better off with a standard installation, because everyone here is familiar with it and will be able to help with any problems... | 22:52 |

| bernz | hi again, sorry about the web-client stuff, i'm running a live distro... anyway, on installing ubuntu, i'm wondering about whether to encrypt my home directory, and thinking, won't i need to encrypt any/all swap as well, to make the encryption of /home meaningful? and wouldn't encrypting swap be performance-silly? | 23:09 |
| BigC_ | erkan^: its best if you use the ubuntu software center to install things | 23:09 |
| aeon-ltd | erkan^: why not just install it via apt-get/synaptics? | 23:09 |
| So_Confused | edbian: Got a connection! I guess suppose restarting the router did something, but it'd be nice to know what it was. | 23:09 |
| erkan^ | because that is old version | 23:09 |

| headkase314 | bernz: If I recall directly using the installer option to encrypt your home folder also encrypts swap. I may be wrong on that. The performance hit on a modern processor shouldn't be an issue. The built in encryption method also does not hide filenames, only contents. | 23:11 |

| headkase314 | bernz: there are many ways to encrypt on Linux, I don't bother but I know you can also encrypt the whole disk volume or use something like TrueCrypt if you just need a container you can mount into the filesystem. | 23:14 |
| bernz | headkase314, i should probably create a spare partition for copying stuff onto that i don't want to lose in case i forget my key. :-) i assume copying a file off an encrypted volume onto a plain volume drops the crypto on the copied file, true? | 23:15 |
| headkase314 | bernz: Yes, if the destination is not encrypted the file there should be unencrypted as well. | 23:15 |
| bernz | headkase314, cool, thanks for the comments | 23:16 |

| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 23:27 |

| mek8630 | Is there a command for terminal that will restore my computer to an earlier time? | 23:34 |
| fedorov | thune3: so how can I install it? | 23:35 |
| SoldOut | bhosie_: my idea would be to install grub to your xp hdd first | 23:36 |
| thune3 | fedorov: open System->Admin->Software sources, check universe repository, close. "apt-get update ; apt-get install nrg2iso" | 23:36 |
| bhosie_ | SoldOut: install, then remove; or just install? | 23:36 |
| SoldOut | bhosie_: this would be done from bootig into the live cd | 23:36 |
| SoldOut | bhosie_: just reinstall | 23:37 |

| Four2zero||MW2 | hello, im running ubuntu on amd 2800 x64 and 9600se agp card with a dual head outputs one dvi and other is rgb and svideo, currently connected via svideo to composite to my monitor... | 23:41 |
| Four2zero||MW2 | when i installed ati driver prorietary from ati-amd | 23:41 |
| tripelb | again and again, chrome in ubuntu, after a while the audio shuts off until you restart chrome. SO BOGUS. | 23:42 |

| Four2zero||MW2 | and run the installer i get an error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version default:v2:i686:lib:none:2.6.32-24-generic; | 23:42 |

| headkase314 | Four2zero||MW2: The proprietary driver from AMD does not support pre-HD2000 series cards anymore. Also the old proprietary driver for those previous cards does not work under current Ubuntu. Solution is to use Open Source Ati driver. | 23:44 |
| Four2zero||MW2 | monitor is showing jitter and its black and white. | 23:44 |
| fedorov | thune3: thanks. worked like a charm | 23:44 |
| headkase314 | Four2zero||MW2: The open-source Ati driver should have been enabled by default before you installed the proprietary one. | 23:45 |
| Four2zero||MW2 | im just running agp 9600se 128mb | 23:45 |
| Four2zero||MW2 | hmm.. | 23:45 |
| headkase314 | Four2zero||MW2: the open-source driver is fine for day to day use. It is a bit weak for playing games. Desktop use: it really is fine. | 23:46 |
| Four2zero||MW2 | how bout for media playback movies | 23:46 |
| headkase314 | Four2zero||MW2: When I was using the Open driver, VLC played back fine. Your mileage may vary: try it! | 23:47 |

| Four2zero||MW2 | k.thnx | 23:47 |
| headkase314 | Four2zero||MW2: You're welcome ;) | 23:48 |
| ennui | hey guys, If I'm using GParted to shrink a partition, is that destructive? I'm on a macbook but I like to keep a small OSX partition so I can get firmware updates. I understand these actions have a risk of destroying data but if I resize that partition in GParted will it wipe it? | 23:50 |

| wolfric | synnine: how did you fix it? | 23:52 |
| ennui | SubCool: what do you mean? were you able to boot from that partition after shrinking it? | 23:53 |

| coz_ | SubCool, have you guys looked here http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=1590 | 23:53 |
| wolfric | i didn't install it unless it comes with 10.04 | 23:54 |

| wolfric | i've tried user + password and compname\user + password | 23:57 |
| ennui | SubCool: If I bork the OSX partition will that mess up rEFIt and prevent me from booting into linux? or is that on the MBR and thus not affected by any change to the OSX partition? | 23:57 |
