| yotta911 | good night. | 00:00 |
| coz_ | tripelb, no problem it happens to all of us :) | 00:00 |
| Hackana | And how can I delete the netbook remix desktop? | 00:00 |
| antibody | hello ladies and gents | 00:00 |
| tripelb | I want a live-CD that includes the "nonfree" (flash, mp3, dvd's) and xchat. | 00:00 |
| SoldOut | antibody: hi | 00:01 |
| yotta911 | it's possible convert a ODS spreadsheet to a sqlite database? | 00:01 |
| tripelb | dream on they say... | 00:01 |
| antibody | quick question: Why do I have an app called "apt-check" running on background eating 99% of my cpu for a loooooooong 760:30.99 of time | 00:01 |
| antibody | 10.04 | 00:01 |
| hiexpo | tripelb, what you want to install nonfree stuff? | 00:01 |
| synnine | @wolf I dont exactly understand what you want. Access without using a password? | 00:01 |
| yotta911 | tripelb: you can make yourself | 00:01 |
| tripelb | I dont know how to. Is it easy? | 00:02 |
| wolfric | synnie: no just the reason why the correct username and password is being denied on ubuntu and not on other win boxes | 00:02 |
| dludldin | my internet provider announce a download speed of 6mbps but im not sure about that as this is a 3g connection. is there a way to test my internet connection speed? | 00:02 |
| tripelb | I have a friend who is running off a liev cd (skip story) and would like those things. | 00:02 |
| tripelb | yotta911, ^^^^ 2 comments | 00:02 |
| hiexpo | tripelb, have to install them | 00:02 |
| headkase314 | synnie: Is it Windows 7 for the win boxes? I recall there is a setting that must be done to them related to encryption to get them to work with the current samba. | 00:03 |
| tripelb | I have them installed hiexpo but I wanted it all on a liveCD | 00:03 |
| yotta911 | tripelb: wait a moment | 00:03 |
| hiexpo | tripelb, not gonna happen | 00:03 |
| synnine | strange. like i said i setup my samba using samba server and share my ubuntu box with other machines, and also access windows shares on | 00:03 |
| hiexpo | build your own live cd then | 00:03 |
| SubCool | ennui, that i dont know. when i use to mangle my Virtual Box images, it wouldnt hurt my host box at all. But i dont have MAC | 00:03 |
| tripelb | I dont know how to. Is it easy? hiexpo | 00:04 |

| coz_ | tripelb, you would most likely have to "re-create" alive cd with the things you want on it | 00:04 |
| ennui | SubCool: Thanks for your help :) | 00:04 |
| tripelb | I dont know how to. Is it easy? hiexpo coz_ | 00:04 |

| SubCool | ennui, good luck- there are a few sites that make it VERy easy- i just wasnt comfortable with having to create a boot disc and stupid stuff.. | 00:04 |
| synnine | my ubuntu box | 00:04 |
| yotta911 | tripelb: search at google by remastersys | 00:04 |
| SoldOut | antibody: apt-check? | 00:04 |
| SubCool | ennui, np- | 00:04 |
| hiexpo | learn linus and google is your friend also | 00:04 |
| wolfric | diagnose* | 00:04 |
| coz_ | tripelb, to be honest I have not done it however it is possible | 00:04 |

| SoldOut | coz_: 1024 me tihnks | 00:06 |
| antibody | SoldOut, no idea | 00:06 |
| wolfric | synnie: i just went to network and double clicked the computer i wanted to access.. i can get onto one machine just fine but the other pops up asking for a user+pass (the one i'm currently on now which i most definitely know the password). I enter it correctly and it reasks | 00:06 |
| SoldOut | antibody: just kill it | 00:06 |
| antibody | I do a " top" and I have this 2199 antibody 39 19 36676 21m 3080 R 94 0.7 765:44.99 apt-check | 00:06 |
| dludldin | 3g connections aren t so accurate are they? | 00:06 |
| coz_ | dludldin, http://www.smartftp.com/support/kb/bits-bytes-mega-giga-tera-f53.html | 00:06 |
| iceroot | hiexpo: SoldOut speed is giving in 10^2 not 2^10 | 00:06 |
| antibody | a new one was created soldout | 00:07 |
| dludldin | coz_ the problem is that im using a 3g connection and i don t trust it very much | 00:07 |
| SoldOut | antibody: how did you kill it? | 00:07 |
| antibody | kill PID | 00:07 |
| coz_ | dludldin, not sure what you mean | 00:07 |
| dludldin | is there a way to test this crap? | 00:08 |
| antibody | it is reallly weird | 00:08 |
| coz_ | dludldin, test your connection you mean? | 00:08 |
| dludldin | coz_ : yes | 00:08 |
| coz_ | dludldin, go here http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ | 00:08 |
| iceroot | dludldin: use a speedtester (google) | 00:08 |
| antibody | /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check | 00:08 |
| antibody | ok that's the app | 00:08 |
| SoldOut | antibody: I dont think apt-check is part of APT | 00:08 |
| pie | * NOTE! You are using trial version of Open Sound System * <--isntit open source? so what the hell? | 00:08 |
| Daekdroom | pie, in a few versions, it was closed source | 00:09 |

| Hackana | Sorry for so many newb questions but....now that Xubuntu is installed, and I know how to get to the session from log-in screen, how do I delete the gnome based desktops that the remix came with? I've found pages that explain how to add desktops, but none on how to remove lol | 00:10 |
| coz_ | pie, you could go to #oss channel | 00:11 |
| antibody | my user soldout, not root | 00:11 |
| pie | coz_: well anyway ill take a look at that site again, thanks Daekdroom and coz_ | 00:11 |
| antibody | I can't do dist-upgrade , somehow it calculates de upgrade forever | 00:11 |
| antibody | normal upgrade works | 00:11 |
| coz_ | pie, also go to #oss just type /join #oss where you type here | 00:11 |
| coz_ | pie, thats just incase you ddnt know that :) | 00:11 |

| ennui | running linux on a mac: bad for the CPU? or an old wives' tale? | 00:12 |
| dabowles | Hello, I'm trying to install 64bit Lucid on 2 WD Velociraptors in RAID0 with 64bit Win7 already installed. Ubuntu installer sees drive but not Win7. Am I out of luck trying to dual boot this? | 00:12 |
| MagicJ | I have a phone that has a USB data connection. When I plug it into the computer sure enough it sees that it is connected to something and it also chaeges, yet ubuntu does not tell me that it see the phone. What do I need to do to make this mound | 00:12 |
| coz_ | ennui, strange old wives tale | 00:12 |
| antibody | it seems linked to the update-manager | 00:12 |
| hiexpo | wise tale | 00:12 |
| antibody | there we go I killed both and their dead | 00:12 |
| Hackana | Maybe it was from a time when apple had unique CPUs with their own machine language, but now they just use intel | 00:13 |
| dludldin | coz_ thanks | 00:13 |
| Hackana | Really now apple is just a PC with a apple stamp | 00:13 |
| coz_ | dludldin, no problem | 00:13 |
| dludldin | iceroot thanks | 00:13 |
| LearningToPie | Hi folks | 00:13 |
| coz_ | LearningToPie, hey guy | 00:14 |
| nailora1 | can you suggest some calendar software if i do not feel comfortable with evolution? | 00:15 |
| SoldOut | antibody: have you got the package-manager open? | 00:15 |
| sometux | nailora1, google! | 00:15 |
| SoldOut | antibody: if so close it and try this sudo dpkg --clear-avail | 00:15 |
| dludldin | the "real" internet speed is about 1/10 isn't it ? | 00:16 |
| antibody | kt tnx | 00:16 |
| hiexpo | Hackana, you sure do ask a lot of ? > starting to look suspicious | 00:16 |
| nailora1 | sometux: ok, did not think about that. but google calendar might indeed be an option | 00:17 |
| TheAlchem1st | hey guys, i am trying to start my proftpd server and i get that : Fatal: SystemLog: you are attempting to log to a world writable directory on line 95 of '/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf' (what is wrong?) | 00:17 |
| SoldOut | dludldin: its only as fast as your slowest link! | 00:17 |
| nailora1 | TheAlchem1st: please show us your config | 00:18 |
| TheAlchem1st | ok 2 sec | 00:18 |
| Lizzard88 | Q: what is the best Dvd burning software out there? | 00:20 |
| Lizzard88 | for ubuntu? | 00:20 |
| hiexpo | Hackana, suspicious = cop or hacker here > cop ok hacker not ok | 00:20 |
| SoldOut | Lizzard88: gui or cli? | 00:20 |
| MagicJ | why would a cop ask a lot of questions of that type | 00:20 |
| nailora1 | Lizzard88: depends on what you want to do. i am perfectly fine with brasero | 00:20 |
| Random832 | or a hacker for that matter | 00:21 |
| cast | whats the current ubuntu kernel? | 00:21 |
| hiexpo | MagicJ, you'd be suprised to get people to talk | 00:21 |
| coz_ | Lizzard88, I prefer gnomebaker personally | 00:21 |
| MagicJ | ah - the old get their confidence routine - thanks hiexpo | 00:21 |
| Random832 | hiexpo: to talk aout what? | 00:22 |
| TheAlchem1st | This is my config http://pastebin.com/jzJtyFYf | 00:22 |
| c3l | how does ubuntu start X, and what configuration file is loaded at that time? | 00:22 |
| dabowles | Sorry for being such a newbie snack, but if my question isn't acknowledged after two attempts should I drop it? | 00:23 |
| LearningToPie | guys, why can't i use the good olde command "/list" to list rooms here? Using Empathy. | 00:23 |
| SoldOut | c3l: I was going to say Xor.conf | 00:23 |
| SoldOut | c3l: I was going to say Xorg*.conf | 00:23 |
| Random832 | as opposed to Nand.conf | 00:23 |
| nailora1 | cast: you can run "uname -a" to get your kernel. you can search synaptic for a list of available kernels | 00:23 |
| MagicJ | ok - when I plug my phone in I get in the dmesg file: lines that I can not seem to paste into here that tell me that the device has been seen is using ohci_hcd and address 3 - et - now how do I see it? | 00:23 |
| cast | nailora1: right, my kernel, which is different. | 00:24 |
| Random832 | LearningToPie: probably because empathy isn't a real irc client | 00:24 |
| hiexpo | Random832, to say something illegal easy aspect > easy mark = easy case | 00:24 |
| c3l | SoldOut: its no longer in use. I was thinking about xset and similar configs though | 00:24 |
| Random832 | hiexpo: but it's not even related to anything - shouldn't you think _anyone_ in here is a cop? | 00:24 |
| Random832 | and what if a cop needs help with their ubuntu, geez | 00:24 |
| SoldOut | c3l: yeah thought that but wasnt sure | 00:24 |
| nailora1 | TheAlchem1st: please run "ls -laR /var/log/proftpd/" | 00:25 |
| Random832 | this is a support channel - there's nothing suspicious about asking questions | 00:25 |
| TheAlchem1st | soo, my /var/log/proftpd/proftpd.log is "world writable directory, how can I fix that | 00:25 |
| TheAlchem1st | ok | 00:25 |
| hiexpo | Random832, nevermind | 00:25 |
| SoldOut | c3l: I think if you create an xorg.conf it will be used | 00:26 |
| Lizzard88 | When i drag the files into Brasero, the program freezes | 00:26 |
| juan_ | bnhgnhnghjghgj | 00:27 |
| slidinghorn | Lizzard88, try replicating the issue by opening brasero from a terminal and posting the output to http://paste.ubuntu.com | 00:27 |

| rww | juan_: Something we can help you with? | 00:28 |
| marca311 | hello, anyone have experience with ndiswrapper and realtek cards? | 00:28 |
| dabowles | I need help! | 00:28 |
| slidinghorn | !anyone | marca311 | 00:28 |
| ubottu | marca311: 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? | 00:28 |
| nailora1 | TheAlchem1st: you might want to run "sudo chmod -R o-w /var/log/proftpd/" to remove (at least) write access from that directory and the files within | 00:28 |
| c3l | SoldOut: true, but the file is on its way to get deprecated iirc, so im looking for the correct file | 00:29 |
| hiexpo | marca311, what realtec carm most are supported | 00:29 |
| TheAlchem1st | okay i ll try that | 00:29 |
| hiexpo | ^card | 00:29 |
| nailora1 | did you change them in the past? do you use some strange setup (fat filesystem, ...)? | 00:29 |
| SoldOut | c3l: and you can still start X with a custom xorg file if thats what you need | 00:29 |
| marca311 | @hiexpo please repeat that | 00:29 |
| dabowles | Please? | 00:29 |
| SoldOut | c3l: ah ok | 00:29 |
| slidinghorn | !ask | dabowles | 00:29 |
| ubottu | dabowles: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 00:29 |

| Hackana | Hmmmmmm....I ask alot of questions cause I am new to using Linux :D | 00:30 |
| Hackana | And I just made a bunch of random letters for a name | 00:30 |
| MagicJ | ok - so - I am not a cop - how do I get an answer to my question - or where should I ask it | 00:30 |
| slidinghorn | dabowles, are you sure it's seeing the correct drive? take a look at /msg ubottu !raid | 00:30 |
| Vespero | I think I'm experiencing technical difficulties. Could someone please respond to this? | 00:31 |
| dabowles | Yeah, it's the correct drive...it's the only one | 00:31 |

| Hackana | I still need to learn how to uninstall a desktop........if its possible... | 00:31 |
| nailora1 | TheAlchem1st: "sudo find / -wholename /proc -prune -or \( -perm -o+w \) -and \( -type f -or -type d \)" generates a list of world-writable files/directories. you might want to have a look at that, too. but it requires some skill to read the output of that command | 00:31 |

| dustin | what for? | 00:35 |
| bazhang | Ejdesgaard, for crossover? | 00:35 |
| Favorit | ping_: if you want software raid LVM is ok. | 00:35 |
| marca311 | @hiexpo the problem itself is that my computer cannot see the card after being in suspend or hibernate | 00:35 |
| dustin | sever ordesktop? | 00:35 |
| marca311 | @hiexpo personally i think that the problem is ndiswrapper itself | 00:35 |
| Ejdesgaard | bazhang, yes, i'm running crossover games 9.1 on ubuntu 10.04 x86_64 | 00:36 |
| hiexpo | marca311, ndi is bad | 00:36 |
| ping_ | Favorit, LVM won't run on motherboard Intel "fake raid" ? | 00:36 |
| Favorit | ping_: those 2 are unrelated | 00:36 |
| marca311 | @hiexpo well, the "linux" drivers provided by the manufacturer don't work | 00:36 |
| dabowles | slidinghorn, thank you. I'll check it out. | 00:36 |
| hiexpo | marca311, what version ubuntu ? | 00:37 |
| pmjp | hi people | 00:37 |
| cast | ping_: LVM doesnt care about your fake raid, motherboard, or anything beyond having rw access to a block device | 00:37 |
| marca311 | @hiexpo and the only way i could get it to work in the first place is to use ndiswrapper | 00:37 |

| Alan502 | Hi, i have my laptop set up to do not ask password when I ssh my desktop. 'ssh mydesktop' works perfectly, but when I try to use ssh with rsync it asks me for my password anyway. What could be happening? | 00:49 |

| randy_ | TheAlchem1st: the trick is in the unix permissions system and how you set up your FTP server. for example, if you have the ftp server set up normally, i believe that if the user is a member of the www-data group and has write priveleges in that group on /var/www then that user can then sign in and upload stuff. this assumes of course that /var/www is owned by www-data:www-data | 00:51 |
| marca311 | @hiexpo but aircrack-ng is a wireless key cracker | 00:51 |
| marca311 | @hiexpo why have you sent me there? | 00:51 |
| randy_ | TheAlchem1st: then there are other FTP server settings associated with *what* their home directories are per user, etc... etc... to include whether or not they even have upload permission in the first place. for example, you can set a FTP server to never allow upload no matter what, even if the directory has 777 permissions | 00:52 |
| hiexpo | marca311, - true but good drivers for wireless cards etc | 00:52 |
| Four2zero||MW2 | Is there a utility for reduce bass in ubuntu 10.l4 ? | 00:52 |
| marca311 | @hiexpo ah | 00:52 |
| marca311 | @hiexpo i will try thenb | 00:52 |
| marca311 | @hiexpo then | 00:52 |
| randy_ | TheAlchem1st: just keep in mind that anything you allow users to do in /var/www will compromise the integrity of /var/www running on the webserver. usually, the permissions on /var/www are kept strict for a reason. | 00:52 |
| mint | !best > mint | 00:53 |
| ubottu | mint, please see my private message | 00:53 |
| marca311 | @hiexpo i have also aquired the drivers from a location on the system76 site | 00:53 |

| Eighteens | hello, i am trying to boot my hp dv6 from a flash drive, this works on all my systems except this one laptop in particular, the problem is that i get no display, after choosing default from the boot menu, it goes a bit, then i hear sound, but my screen goes blank, what should i do? thanks in advance | 00:53 |
| TheAlchem1st | randy_, i have proftpd, i can upload in my home but i cannpot lsit the root of everything . Its the default config. | 00:54 |
| TheAlchem1st | thank you ill re read you | 00:54 |
| randy_ | TheAlchem1st: its common for FTP servers to jail you in your 'home' directory per server settings. you usually don't want FTP users to be able to see above their /home/<user>/ but this can be changed of course in the ProFTPd settings | 00:55 |
| hiexpo | marca311, get a grip i will not send you to a place that is not useful to you ok | 00:55 |
| randy_ | TheAlchem1st: a quick and dirty fix could be to simply symlink /var/www to /home/<user>/ so they stay in their jail but can browse /var/www (mileage may vary depending on how strict ProFTPd is...) | 00:55 |
| TheAlchem1st | randy_, thank you, so i must check in the conf? | 00:56 |
| hiexpo | marca311, system76 never heard of it | 00:56 |
| marca311 | @hiexpo sorry | 00:56 |
| TheAlchem1st | i ll try that. | 00:56 |
| marca311 | @hiexpo google it | 00:56 |
| randy_ | TheAlchem1st: yeah, you're gonna have to do some research, proFTPd is powerful (thus, complicated) but it *can* do what you want. you should read some of the fantastic (and long winded) manuals on ProFTPd | 00:56 |

| unclemike | ? isent there a net install for 10.04 | 00:58 |
| randy_ | TheAlchem1st: you should also google on how to set up a domain hosting type server with proFTPd, its common for ISP's to offer domain services with an upload feature. the upload, of course, ends up in the user's appropriate /var/www directory ... | 00:58 |
| randy_ | TheAlchem1st: all of it is done with FTP, so what you want to do has most definitely been done before, you shouldn't have too much trouble finding some helpful information | 00:58 |
| randy_ | TheAlchem1st: I just hope I managed to push you in the right direction to an answer ;) | 00:59 |

| Hackana | Okay, last question, I promise. Is there any down side to having multiple desktop environments on one machine? Will they possible conflict, or due to the whole Ubuntu sleeps processes its not using, will it be okay? Also am I right in assuming Ubuntu is sorta the equivalent of DOS, and the desktop environment is sorta just a way to graphically represent it? Or something like that.....of... | 01:05 |
| Hackana | ...course its more complicated than DOS, but the desktop is just a GUI? | 01:05 |

| xhane | headkase314 and shurathing: http://www.google.com.au/images?rlz=1C1_____enAU336AU336&q=USB%20Mobile%20Broadband&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1280&bih=707 | 01:31 |
| iBallbag | has anyone got a clue how to supress the auth popup in ubuntu 10.04? | 01:31 |
| xhane | headkase314: I have a modem router, could I set up a connection on this computer that can utilise my Mobile Broadband connection to use on the Ubuntu to get the required files? | 01:32 |
| shurathing | xhane: that uses cell towers? | 01:32 |
| xhane | shurathing: Yes it does | 01:32 |
| xhane | I works like a Mobile Phone | 01:32 |
| shurathing | iBallbag: you mean the log in screen? | 01:32 |
| xhane | It works like a Mobile Phone* | 01:32 |
| headkase314 | xhane: If the modem router has ethernet ports on the back of it then you just need an ethernet cable. Keep fingers-crossed while you check. | 01:32 |
| shurathing | xhane: dude... sorry. I really didn't know that and I know nothing of that hardware | 01:32 |
| shurathing | headkase314: no... he connects to the cell towers with a dongle usb thing. | 01:33 |
| iBallbag | no shurathing, the auth popup like when you install an app in synaptic | 01:33 |
| shurathing | iBallbag: you mean you don't want confermation screens when installing? | 01:33 |
| iBallbag | correct | 01:34 |
| iBallbag | non whatsoever | 01:34 |
| headkase314 | xhane: Looks like you need to take the laptop somewhere where you can get an ethernet cable. A local library or school may cooperate. Once you do that, hit update manager and check for updates at least once then run Hardware Drivers and hopefully your wireless drivers will be there and you just need to click activate. Then you don't need any more cables, you're wireless from there. | 01:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | yakub, research PAE kernel (32bit with extended memory support) | 01:34 |
| xhane | headkase314: Couldn't I just set up a This Laptop -> Router -> My Laptop kind of connection? | 01:35 |
| headkase314 | xhane: If the router only offers a USB connection or wireless then neither is really suitable. You need drivers for both, it is a chicken-and-egg problem: you need Interet to get the drivers for wireless internet. | 01:36 |
| shurathing | iBallbag: sorry... I don't know a way around that | 01:36 |
| === moayad_ is now known as moayad | ||

| iBallbag | ok thankyou shurathing. it looks like i may be stuck with it... | 01:37 |
| xhane | headkase314: Sorry to sound rude, but I have a normal DLink Router, and I have a USB Mobile Broadband, 2 very different things. | 01:37 |
| xhane | shurathing: Thank you for attempting to help me! :) | 01:37 |
| shurathing | headkase314: I checked the net and starbucks DOES block port 22... thanks for the info. Heading home to fix that. :) | 01:37 |
| headkase314 | xhane: Ok, can you plug your laptop into the d-link for Internet? | 01:37 |
| xhane | No | 01:38 |
| iBallbag | i cant find anything anywhere either. i thought it was me being blind | 01:38 |
| headkase314 | shurathing: At least you know what it is! | 01:38 |
| xhane | headkase314: I don't have a broadband connection | 01:38 |
| xhane | That uses modems | 01:38 |
| headkase314 | xhane: you need to get Internet to the ethernet plug on your Ubuntu laptop. Once you have that then it should be easy from there. | 01:39 |

| Todd_ | hi all. Anyone know how to reinstall ethernet drivers from the command line? | 01:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | Todd_, most "ethernet" drivers are in the kernel. what are you trying to do? you can use ifconfig to configure an ethernet card from cli. | 01:41 |
| iBallbag | not me todd. im a noob too | 01:41 |
| Todd_ | I installed Uguntu server and then the mother board failed so I had to replace the motherboard and now Ubuntu does not connect to the internet. | 01:41 |
| Todd_ | When I run lspci it has two network cards. when I cat 70-persisten-net.rules it ahs 4 lines. | 01:42 |
| Todd_ | ifconfig does not display the network cards. | 01:43 |
| kantlivelong1 | anyone know why my clock keeps moving one item to the left on boot? | 01:43 |
| josephseraos_ | hi | 01:43 |
| Todd_ | Zy when I went to the ethernet manufacture web site they said the drivers were in the kernel as well. | 01:44 |

| esfahankids | hi | 02:05 |
| headkase314 | hoober: for Windows 7 drivers you need a 7 environment to run them in. You also need to disable driver signatures as those are enforced by Windows 7. If you want to learn 7 drivers, ubuntu is not the operating system for you. A virtual machine would be one way to go about it but virtual machines typically only emulate a 32 bit environment. Short answer: Ubuntu is not suitable for Windows 7 64-bit driver develop | 02:06 |
| smackmanic | happened after i updated | 02:06 |
| nibsa1242 | jasonwryan the install just says that it fails, doesn't give a reason, and then it locks up; its stopped at 70% and 10%; I already checked the disk for errors | 02:06 |

| essial | th0r: sudo df / says 2% used | 02:08 |

| essial | th0r: disk0 says 3% and disk1 says 63% which makes a LOT more sense | 02:10 |
| pie | and also all my programs closed, whick is probably because gnome restarted | 02:10 |
| bazhang | smackmanic, you running ubuntu now? or windows | 02:10 |
| th0r | what is telling you 100% usage? | 02:10 |
| essial | so WTH is disk usage showing, pure usage | 02:10 |
| jasonwryan | nibsa1242: The other thing you can try is to switch to TTY4 when it fails to read the error | 02:10 |
| essial | Disk usage -- hence my question, is taht total usage or relative usage | 02:10 |
| hoober | back sorry i made a tuna-egg sandwhich | 02:10 |
| bazhang | smackmanic, unetbootin is in the repos, for windows its at unetbootin.sourceforge.net | 02:10 |
| pie | and i really need to get this fixed ASAP :( | 02:10 |
| uRock | hoober, that is gross | 02:11 |
| essial | I was getting out of space errors and dumped about a year's worth of backups, I believe that fixed the problem, it's just that 100% on / looks scary in DUA | 02:11 |
| nibsa1242 | jasonwryan: that would be (some key + f4)? | 02:11 |
| th0r | essial: what 'disk usage'? are you using the 'du' command? or getting this from some gnome app? | 02:11 |
| smackmanic | bazhang: im in the windows partition, it drops me straight to busybox when i allow ubuntu to attempt to start up | 02:11 |
| StrangeCharm | after a reboot, the network manager applet is missing from my tray. how can i make it come back? | 02:11 |
| essial | the Disk Usage Analyzer app | 02:11 |

| jasonwryan | nibsa1242: Ctrl-Alt-F4 | 02:11 |

| nibsa1242 | jasonwryan: thanks, I'll take a look at it | 02:11 |
| smackmanic | if I understand correctly now | 02:11 |
| mathk | hoober: you can use a VM for what you call safety | 02:11 |
| picard1421 | is it better to make a liveCD of something or to install to it.. what i mean is ... like for Ubuntu.. is it better to like do a normal install and just choose my flash drive as the "disk" or do i need to make a live cd.. whats the pros/ cons of htis? | 02:11 |
| GeneralSaint | I am having a problem with wget, ubuntu 10.4 lamp 32 bit, Wget is an unknown command. Im quite the n00b at linux so go easy on me :-) | 02:11 |

| pie | someone please help me out :( | 02:12 |
| bazhang | smackmanic, minimal iso? never known it to do that, I was referring to lubuntu iso minimal still requires a cd to boot afaik | 02:12 |
| th0r | essial: that is probably a problem with the app. I don't use gnome so I can't help with that. If 'df' shows enough space I wouldn't worry about it | 02:12 |
| essial | AH geese | 02:12 |
| uRock | hoober, I use VBox to run other OSes when I need to get something done | 02:12 |
| essial | th0r: yeah apparently "usage" is relative in DUA | 02:12 |
| Mr_Sonoma | pie, what's the issue? | 02:12 |
| essial | and du looks exactly as I expected | 02:12 |
| essial | th0r: thanks, you made a sysadmin happy :) | 02:13 |
| smackmanic | bazhang: ouch...you're saying I can't use a usb device to....basically sudo apt grub...or figure out whats going on with my OS | 02:13 |
| nibsa1242 | jasonwryan: ok, thanks; I hate installing, but my experience is that an upgrade has a 50% chance of borking the whole system... and normally I find it easier to just reinstall than rescue the upgrade | 02:13 |

| essial | I mean real device drivers, not serial port or parallel port stuff | 02:17 |
| nibsa1242 | cast: I have, but other half likes Ubuntu, and doesn't want anything else on her lappy. So, if I migrate to something else on the other machines then I have to know both Ubuntu and the other distro. | 02:17 |

| essial | hoober: why do you think XP drivers for WINDOWS doesn't work with vista drivers for WINDOWS | 02:18 |

| critt | Can someone help with a Partition question? | 02:52 |
| smackmanic | the biggest problem is that I cannot use a livecd or liveusb...so I'm hoping I can edit grub and then fsck and what not to fix it | 02:52 |
| bazhang | critt, please ask a question | 02:52 |
| nibsa1242 | mbeierl: you can try a usb install | 02:52 |
| Dr_Willis | smackmanic: normally grub installs to the MBR of the hard drive. But youa re setting the 'root' option? thats normally done via the UUID of teh fiklesystem not the sda/sdb1 type nameing | 02:52 |
| critt | I have 2 Partitions. Kubuntu and Ubuntu. Kubuntu is set to boot first . Can I delete Kubuntu Part without screwing up My Ubuntu Part? | 02:52 |
| nibsa1242 | mbeierl: or you can try a network install (I think Ubuntu supports that) | 02:52 |
| Dr_Willis | critt: it depends on which os is contriolling grub. | 02:52 |
| smackmanic | Dr_Willis....uhhh.....im actually pretty sure im not root when i edit | 02:52 |
| bazhang | critt, why not just install kubuntu-desktop with ubuntu? | 02:52 |
| === spiros is now known as spyrosebastos | ||
| critt | Kubuntu is right now | 02:53 |
| Dr_Willis | smackmanic: you have to be root when altering system files.. thats a given | 02:53 |
| smackmanic | Dr_Willis: would it be okay if I sent you a link...or the cliffnote of the solution heh | 02:53 |
| bazhang | critt, or ubuntu-desktop with kubuntu | 02:53 |
| critt | DIdnt know I could | 02:53 |
| Dr_Willis | critt: you may need to reinstall grub then. You COULD boot to ubuntu now, and update-grub and in theory the UBUNTU os will be the one contriolling grub. then you can delete the kubuntu partitions | 02:53 |
| Dr_Willis | smackmanic: im going to work in 3 min... | 02:53 |
| smackmanic | Dr_Willis: this grubhowto page says if its not run as root i will get bogus error msgs...so idk. | 02:53 |
| smackmanic | Dr_Willis...ouch | 02:53 |
| chilli0 | Can anyone explain why sometimes my external hard drive mounts on diffrent points? | 02:53 |
| bazhang | critt, sure, lubuntu-desktop , edubuntu-desktop, ubuntustudio-desktop etc | 02:54 |
| Dr_Willis | smackmanic: you need to run system type tools as root.. thats pretty fundamental. | 02:54 |
| critt | Im in Ubuntu now | 02:54 |
| nibsa1242 | critt: you could also hand configure grub, but its been a while since I've done that | 02:54 |
| smackmanic | Dr_Willis: the problem is i can't even sudo in busybox... | 02:54 |
| chilli0 | Some times its /dev/sdf1 others its sdb1 | 02:54 |
| Dr_Willis | smackmanic: in busybox you are allready root i imagine. but busybox is not the normal ubuntu installed system.. | 02:54 |
| bazhang | critt, then just choose which desktop from login window | 02:54 |
| critt | I tried to open grub but page was blank | 02:54 |
| smackmanic | Dr_Willis....hahaha I know... | 02:55 |
| smackmanic | "root=/dev/sdXX somehow all this got messed up in the update." | 02:55 |

| nibsa1242 | I know this is kinda heresy, but if I can't get this software raid-1 server install to work should I try (1) another distro or (2) is it easy to just install to one disk and raid it to the second disk later? | 02:58 |
| cvnmk | rww: why not? i will remove junky modules | 02:58 |
| nibsa1242 | cvnmk: probably not enough to see a difference, but it can be fun to do | 02:59 |
| rww | cvnmk: because modules aren't loaded unless they're used, and the majority of startup time isn't spent on the kernal. | 02:59 |
| rww | kernel ** | 02:59 |
| rww | if you have a boot time of 10 seconds and 1 second is the kernel, there's not much point in optimizing the 1 s :\ | 03:00 |

| hasen | I'm thinking of buying a laptop with an ATI card, are there linux drivers for it? | 03:11 |

| shreymech | Gnea, i don't have it... as my system is not at all detecting my adapter in other lastest kernel... | 03:11 |
| tensorpudding | hasen: Yes. | 03:11 |

| nibsa1242 | R350: I think it was an xserver change, in addition the flgrx change. My understanding is that you'd have to use an old distro, with an old kernel, and an old fglrx. Change happened a few years ago. You are just better off upgrading to a more modern card. | 03:19 |

| OhK | Power PC dustin | 03:26 |
| DasEi | Tao: I just found the diff of tinyurl and tinyurl.com | 03:26 |
| dustin | ohk, i dont know what that is but i would like to | 03:26 |
| bazhang | BentFranklin, perhaps 2-4GB for swap | 03:26 |
| tensorpudding | I'm surprised Ubuntu still supports PPC | 03:26 |
| Tao | DasEi: That ppa didn't work | 03:27 |
| smackmanic | updated ubuntu..rebooted...won't boot the UUID, says it doesn't exist. found a forum post that suggests I edit what grub is booting...but i don't believe i am doing it properly | 03:27 |
| OhK | dustin, it's an architecture. Not Intel, nor AMD. I think it's exclusive to older model Macs. | 03:27 |
| DasEi | Tao: so I can't help you much further, as I have no idea what that project is about | 03:27 |

| madamps | i started installing linux mint from the live cd and its on the "Please Wait - Resizing Partition..." screen. it said it might take a while, but it's been stalled at 0% for about 15 minutes. its not frozen - ie i can use everything else lag-free. is this normal? i know resizing takes a long time, but should i be at least progressing? i'm afraid to cancel and mess stuff up | 03:27 |
| furythor | is Nvidia Geforce 240 GT supported by proprietary drivers in Ubuntu 9.10 ? | 03:28 |
| Tao | DaeEi: Its ok. Thanks for your help so far | 03:28 |
| tensorpudding | PPC was used predominantly by Apple, until 2006 when Apple switched to x86. | 03:28 |
| pie | iBallbag: how exactly do i get compiz settings mgr? | 03:28 |
| bazhang | madamps, join the mint support channel as its not supported here | 03:28 |
| bazhang | !mintsupport | madamps | 03:28 |
| ubottu | madamps: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 03:28 |
| BentFranklin | Thanks to all, here's my new plan: swap: 4 GB, /: 100 GB, /boot: 1GB, /var: 295 GB, /home:600 GB | 03:28 |
| madamps | bazhang: thanks :) | 03:28 |
| smackmanic | bazhang: still struggling lol | 03:28 |
| tensorpudding | that'd be more realistic | 03:28 |
| madamps | aw bazhang - it's empty. do you guys have any advice> | 03:29 |
| bazhang | madamps, its on a different network | 03:29 |
| iBallbag | pie click applications>ubuntu software centre | 03:29 |
| tensorpudding | though unless you're really serious about webhosting you're not going to use 295 GB on /var | 03:29 |
| madamps | bazhang do you know the name? | 03:29 |
| iBallbag | top left | 03:29 |
| IdleOne | madamps: the mint channel is not on this network | 03:29 |
| furythor | BentFranklin: why 100 GB for boot? | 03:29 |
| bazhang | madamps, irc.spotchat.org | 03:30 |
| madamps | i'm kind of irc-retarded. we are on freenode, right? | 03:30 |
| smackmanic | bazhang: any suggestions? | 03:30 |
| === Annie_ is now known as Annie | ||
| Tao | DasEi: I fixed it! | 03:30 |
| smackmanic | madamps, yah | 03:30 |
| BentFranklin | Another question: this is my second install. On the first I let it use the whole disk for one partition. Is there some sort of partition magic to repartion at this point? | 03:30 |
| dludldin | hi everybody! | 03:30 |
| DasEi | !yay|Tao | 03:30 |
| ubottu | Tao: Glad you made it! :-) | 03:30 |
| BentFranklin | furythor: It's 1GB now. | 03:30 |
| IdleOne | madamps: /server irc.spotchat.org then join #linuxmint-help | 03:30 |
| bazhang | BentFranklin, 2 to 4 GB for swap, 250MB for /boot much more for / | 03:30 |
| OhK | Bent... it would be possible to resize partitions by the Disk Utility in ubuntu | 03:31 |
| tensorpudding | 100 GB for / is reasonable | 03:31 |
| madamps | IdleOne - exactly what i wanted. thakns | 03:31 |
| furythor | BentFranklin: what you mean exactly or what you are trying to get ? | 03:31 |
| IdleOne | madamps: welcome | 03:31 |
| tensorpudding | I've not come close to that myself | 03:31 |
| dustin | bazhang,i did and i stayed for even longer,im just gone a dead line to met, in 3 weeks, i got to got a source of internet on this computer | 03:31 |
| bazhang | 100GB for root is huge | 03:31 |
| crivit | ohhh droped here | 03:31 |
| jjgalvez__ | for an external drive should I format it as ext2 or ext4? is there any advantage to using ext4 on an external drive? | 03:31 |
| smackmanic | be right back. I need to take a 2 min breather. | 03:32 |
| dludldin | my internet often disconnects. i get this message in log files "Protocol-Reject for unsupported protocol 0x348d" this happens many times(the protocol isn t always the same) | 03:32 |
| bazhang | jjgalvez__, shared with windows? | 03:32 |
| furythor | jjgalvez__: any reason why not ext3 ? | 03:32 |
| jjgalvez__ | bazhang: nope just linux | 03:32 |
| DasEi | jjgalvez__: want to share it with windows hosts ? | 03:32 |
| bazhang | jjgalvez__, ext4 then | 03:32 |
| tensorpudding | jjgalvez__: use ext4 if it's Linux-only | 03:32 |
| DasEi | ah^ | 03:32 |
| tensorpudding | ext2 is old and lacks journaling | 03:32 |
| cast | ext4 support is relatively new | 03:32 |
| bazhang | cast, not really | 03:32 |
| cast | bazhang: yes, really | 03:33 |
| jjgalvez__ | furythor: no reason, just when I clicked on the drive and selected format I got ext2 and ext4 as options | 03:33 |
| bazhang | cast, its perfectly fine. | 03:33 |
| === spyrosebastos is now known as spiros | ||
| tensorpudding | ext4 is default on most linux installs | 03:33 |
| tensorpudding | i believe ubuntu is one of those | 03:33 |
| furythor | jjgalvez__: that goes interesting, that ext3 is not among options... | 03:33 |
| cast | tensorpudding: is it? | 03:33 |
| dustin | jjgalvez__, look for cross format, so you dont need to do it again, if thats not what your thing 'to look back" the right on.. | 03:33 |
| bazhang | cast, perhaps you are thinking of btrfs | 03:33 |
| DasEi | cast: optinally since jaunty or ibex, jaunty I think | 03:33 |
| furythor | I have question related to graphics card, does ubuntu 9.10 nvidia proprietary drivers support Geforce 275/285 graphics card ? | 03:34 |
| cast | bazhang: i am not. | 03:34 |
| jjgalvez__ | so it looks like since I am only using this for linux ext4 is the way to go | 03:34 |
| dustin | jjgalvez_,i say it cuz theres a 5%-10% chance you'll need windows | 03:34 |
| bazhang | jjgalvez__, yep | 03:34 |
| mbeierl | just venting ... know that there's no easy answer: got my old pc, with a windows activation code that refuses to work, but I can boot with the windows xp install disk. I've got an ubuntu install cd, but it refuses to boot with a cannot read disk error. I am so lost... | 03:34 |
| cast | i can understand perhaps you're used to talking to morons, but i'm not one. | 03:34 |
| Annie | More port questions. ssh from Starbucks. Not port 22 cause it's blocked. Port 8080 let's say. The connection reaches my router. How does the ssh service that listens to port 22 know to listen to port 8080? Isn't port forwarding to have your inbound ports directed to the private ports? | 03:34 |
| bazhang | cast, that's not appropriate for here | 03:35 |
| pie | iBallbag: oh hey...i guess i do have compiz... | 03:35 |
| DasEi | furythor: yes | 03:35 |
| yoshie | Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64Bit Alien Arena sound not working. | 03:35 |
| pie | iBallbag: ccsm? | 03:35 |
| jjgalvez__ | dustin: true, but this is going to be used to back up my linux comp, I'll user another drive if i need windoz | 03:35 |
| furythor | DasEi: so if I get either of those cards I got fully working drivers ? | 03:36 |
| iBallbag | pie yes | 03:36 |
| DasEi | Annie: you can tell ssh where to listen to (which port), set in the sshd_config /etc | 03:36 |

| OhK | cast, Freedom of Speech, Open Source speech. Etc, etc. | 03:37 |
| dustin | casst, comments like that donest help the commuity grow, which "we" dont get better support, | 03:37 |
| Annie | DasEi: do you know of a link to a tutorial? I just learned ssh 2 days ago trying to set up a web proxy being I'm leaving the states... And I'm running out of time to finish this set up and don't have a lot of time to learnsometing else | 03:37 |
| aperture | I'm having some trouble with a built in mic... Is there a support channel I should go to, or can someone here help me out? | 03:37 |
| DasEi | furythor: yup, certified as their hp says, so yes | 03:37 |
| pie | iBallbag: so the simple on or the complex one... | 03:37 |
| tensorpudding | ext4 support has been in the kernel since 2.6.28 | 03:37 |
| crivit | bazhang: that wasnt ramdom at all | 03:37 |
| DasEi | Annie: no prob, let's go : | 03:38 |
| bazhang | crivit, offtopic for here. please don't | 03:38 |
| dustin | <jjgalvez__, ok oh and always get a 8 gb or more cuz it very easy to fill it up using 2 os | 03:38 |
| crivit | bazhang: just saying | 03:39 |
| aperture | ... can anyone at least tell me what channel to go to for support getting this mic to work with Ubuntu? | 03:39 |
| furythor | DasEi: okay, since I got interesting problem, I got some problems with gf gt240 with 9.10 but my wireless mouse and keyboard work fine, however I don't know if those problems are really serious, or could I install newer driver from nvidia website... | 03:39 |
| DasEi | Annie: gksudo gedit /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 03:39 |
| Annie | DasEi: got it | 03:39 |
| tensorpudding | I guess that means that it isn't supported in Debian Lenny, but Ubuntu has supported it for a few releases now | 03:39 |
| dustin | cast,comments like that donest help the commuity grow, which "we" dont get better support, | 03:39 |
| DasEi | Annie: found it already ? | 03:39 |
| cast | tensorpudding: great. so ubuntu supports it. 'linux' is a great deal more widespread than ubuntu | 03:40 |
| iBallbag | pie simple is what i got | 03:40 |
| Annie | DasEi: was talking to cast, told me about it but on reading more by brain melted | 03:40 |
| OhK | cast is my favrite person in this room right now. | 03:40 |
| DasEi | Annie: gksudo gedit /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 03:40 |
| jjgalvez__ | dustin: thansk for the advice | 03:40 |
| pie | iBallbag: oh well lol too late | 03:40 |
| OhK | dude you rock | 03:40 |
| pie | iBallbag: but thanks i hope this fixes it = | 03:40 |
| DasEi | Annie:set the port there | 03:40 |
| pie | * =/ | 03:40 |
| dustin | cast, im very new at all this i would love to learn lunix, comments like that dont help | 03:41 |
| DasEi | Annie:also password auth, as I assume, save the file... then.. | 03:41 |
| dustin | jjgalvez__ you well come ; | 03:41 |
| tensorpudding | This argument might be worthwhile but it's ultimately irrelevant to the original query anyway | 03:41 |
| Annie | DasEi: argh... sorry DasEi... My proxy server is a mac | 03:41 |
| OhK | cast, pointing out the fact that there is a linux world outside of ubuntu CERTAINLY helps the community. Thanks. | 03:41 |
| DasEi | furythor: did you find that card under hardwaredrivers ? | 03:42 |
| Annie | DasEi: but it looks like I can edit the config file easy enough. | 03:42 |
| DasEi | Annie: erm, this is ubuntu, but config shall be same | 03:42 |
| furythor | DasEi: yeah, I got everything working, but I had some issues with 9.10 and when I moved to 10.04 some things were repaired but others appeared to have breaked down | 03:42 |
| iBallbag | pie, i cant guarantee it | 03:42 |
| DasEi | Annie: and look for something similar in mac : | 03:42 |
| DasEi | !info fail2ban | 03:43 |
| ubottu | fail2ban (source: fail2ban): bans IPs that cause multiple authentication errors. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.4-1ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 93 kB, installed size 660 kB | 03:43 |
| Annie | DasEi: the netbook I'm taking is ubuntu... setting em up together brought me here | 03:43 |
| furythor | and personally I like more of 9.10 appearance | 03:43 |
| iBallbag | its worth a shot tho | 03:43 |
| CARABOBO | a los venezolanos que esten por aqui | 03:43 |

| CARABOBO | mañana a partir de las 8 de la mañana | 03:44 |
| cast | don't bother with fail2ban, just don't use retarded passwords, and if you dont like typing passwords more complex than "password", use ssh keys | 03:44 |
| thune3 | dludldin: the only info i found is that the "protocol-reject" indicates an improperly decoded packet. I can only suggest these kewords for search "protocol reject 0x????" | 03:44 |
| Annie | DasEi: # Port 22.... that line is hashed out because it's default. But if I unhash it and put in 9050-9999, that will make ssh listen to those ports? | 03:44 |
| DasEi | furythor: in general that cards shouldn't cause trouble, did you run the settings manager afterwards ?(the nvidia one) | 03:44 |
| crivit | bazhang: so cold the night | 03:44 |

| smackmanic | okay...anyway...i have what appears to be a fairly common problem for people who updated to the latest version....ubuntu does not boot correctly...it sends me to busybox...it basically says my UUID does not exist | 03:44 |
| furythor | DasEi: yes but there were few weird things, maybe due to problems of my graphics card being that much new one... | 03:44 |

| CARABOBO | asistan les esperamos | 03:45 |

| sdfasdfasdfasdf | hello im trying to learn howto encrypt a file, i don't fully understand how gpg works, i would only encrypt a rar file but gpg apparently uses public keys? i would like that when i encrypy a file it creates a new one with a new extention and when i double click it it would promt me for a password, but gpg apparently can create private keys that if you format pc and havent back it up, despite you remember password, you still woul | 03:46 |
| sdfasdfasdfasdf | dnt be able to decrypt file is this true? is there any nice guide for dummies? thanks | 03:46 |
| jjgalvez__ | dustin: Wow, this is for my Mom, but I will definitely keep an eye on it | 03:46 |
| smackmanic | i tried editing it to sda1, then sda2...both got error 23 if i recall correctly | 03:46 |
| furythor | what is current support level for Ati Radeon drivers on Ubuntu Linux ? | 03:46 |
| Annie | DasEi: ok... I'll check on syntax. Just wanna make sure the question I'm gonna ask makes sense first. So something like 22,25-1000... would make sense on that line? | 03:46 |
| cast | sdfasdfasdfasdf: gpg can use passwords, pass it the -c option, | 03:46 |
| DasEi | Annie: yesss | 03:47 |
| sdfasdfasdfasdf | cast, is there any nice gui easy to use? | 03:47 |
| Annie | DasEi: SWEET | 03:47 |
| nibsa1242 | cast: I've never used debian, is it hard to setup? (my experience is with Mandrake (back when it was called that); Fedora (back when it was Fedora Core); and Ubuntu) | 03:47 |
| cast | sdfasdfasdfasdf: probably | 03:47 |
| smackmanic | =/ | 03:47 |

| headkase314 | josephseraos: I sometimes use it but an not an expert on irssi | 03:48 |
| josephseraos | cast: hey, could you say me, how do I change to other channels that I have joined? | 03:49 |
| Tux414 | Hello all, I have an acer aspire 3810TZ and my internal microphone won't work nor does my Internet display the speed it says unknown or 1 mbps. Does anyone know how to fix this? | 03:49 |
| DasEi | smackmanic: you have probs with grub-legacy ? | 03:49 |
| Annie | DasEi: awesome! Thanks again. | 03:49 |
| sdfasdfasdfasdf | cast, to begin with i dont want to send this encrypted files so can gpg just not use that public/private key thing, what does it do btw? | 03:49 |
| dustin | furythor, "the upgrading bug" i call it (not well known), it happens when you do the same with (9.04 ubuntu to 9.10.) i guess it make it this far ... the best way to get fix that is a clean install of th os your trying to go ofor in the first place | 03:50 |
| josephseraos | headkase314: I'm just testing... It's can be to some necessity. I'm user GNU/Linux, and I would like to know some softwares for console | 03:50 |
| josephseraos | understand? | 03:50 |
| headkase314 | josephseraos: Type "man irrsi" in a console for it! | 03:50 |
| cast | Annie: is that for the sshd_config? thats not a good idea.. | 03:50 |
| crivit | sdfasdfasdfasdf: what are you up to? | 03:50 |
| josephseraos | headkase314: Great! | 03:50 |
| sdfasdfasdfasdf | cast, can it just create a .gpg file fully encrypted that could be decrypted in ANY pc with only knowing the secret password? | 03:50 |
| dron247 | Hello all, what happens with russian ubuntu repositories? | 03:50 |
| Annie | cast: No? | 03:50 |
| cast | sdfasdfasdfasdf: yes. gpg -c | 03:50 |
| furythor | dustin: can be, though I think it may have some interesting other reasons causing that problem... | 03:51 |
| DasEi | cast: we're liitle ot here, she wants to connect her mac and her ubu by ssh | 03:51 |
| cast | Annie: does sshd support syntax in the form of a range? | 03:51 |
| josephseraos | it's not installed | 03:51 |
| josephseraos | man for irssi is not installed | 03:51 |
| furythor | dustin: like fact that drivers aren't simply "bug free" for my graphics card yet | 03:51 |
| josephseraos | Sorry my english. I'm brazilian | 03:51 |
| smackmanic | DasEi: whatever version came with 8.04...basically when i boot up, it doesnt actually boot to ubuntu. doesnt recognize my UUID..found a forum post...says I need to change the boot option in grub...ive tried and I think I'm doing it incorrectly | 03:51 |
| smackmanic | if that makes sense | 03:52 |
| sdfasdfasdfasdf | crivit, i would like to encrypt a .tar.gz file to store it safely in my pc, so the idea is that me only knowing certain password or phrase could decrypt it and use those files even if i format pc. problem is apparently kgpg creates some kind of private key that if i dont back up i couldnt decrypt this file even knowing the password in my head, as far as i understand | 03:52 |
| headkase314 | josephseraos: back up plan -> http://www.irssi.org/documentation | 03:52 |
| dirty_american | no software is bug free :P | 03:52 |
| furythor | What about geforce 400 series _ | 03:53 |
| tensorpudding | sdfasdfasdfasdf: the gpg passphrase only unlocks the key, the key is the truly important bit, and that needs to be backed up | 03:53 |
| dirty_american | nasa may have some.. | 03:53 |
| Joe_CoT | Quick question: is there anyway to get Grub2 to ignore a specific partition? the 30_os_prober successfully finds vista, but also the OEM utility partition, which it also calls Vista. I want grub to ignore the latter. | 03:53 |
| DasEi | smackmanic: one question forehands, why still hardy ? backup files and get a future-able distro ? else we could fix it by a live cd, but might take longer in view to file backup and fresh install | 03:53 |
| DasEi | !eol | smackmanic | 03:53 |

| edbian | What does it mean if a system cannot get past the file system check during boot? It drops to a shell consistently at 66% | 03:53 |
| crivit | sdfasdfasdfasdf: well as long as they know the key | 03:53 |
| smackmanic | DasEi: I ran an update, however, you must update grub manually. obviously I can't get into ubuntu..so I can't update it | 03:54 |
| josephseraos | headkase314: where can I find people who wants just talk. just chat? | 03:54 |
| nibsa1242 | cast: alright, I'm done with this install bs... I'm going to try debian instead... Installing to a software raid1 should be trivial not something that takes hours and hours and then hardlocks so you can't even tell why it fails | 03:54 |

| sdfasdfasdfasdf | tensorpudding, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so say i format this pc ok. to be able to extract that tar i would have to put that back up of the key into new kgpg and then decrypt the file, if i didnt have this back up file of the key theres no possible human way i cant decrypt the file again? | 03:54 |
| edbian | DasEi, Do you mean the check function using gparted?? | 03:54 |
| trumpeet | :) | 03:55 |
| DasEi | smackmanic: live cd, see above | 03:55 |
| DasEi | !grub | 03:55 |
| ubottu | grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 03:55 |
| smackmanic | DasEi: I found a forum post with essentially my exact error...could I /msg the solution? I believe it will work, only I think I am doing it incorrectly | 03:55 |
| BentFranklin | So the partition GUI lets me make everything except swap. If I leave 4000 MB unallocated, does it just make that the swap? Also, does swap count towards my limit of 4 primary partitions? | 03:55 |
| tensorpudding | sdfasdfasdfasdf: without the key, your chances of reading the file again are as good as attacker trying to read your file without your consent | 03:55 |
| tensorpudding | as any* | 03:55 |
| smackmanic | lol see above, livecd is not option atm | 03:55 |
| DasEi | smackmanic: go ahead | 03:55 |
| edbian | The system drops to a shell, can't I use that instead of booting a live CD ? | 03:55 |
| tensorpudding | actually much poorer, since you don't have a botnet for cracking AES + RSA | 03:56 |
| edbian | BentFranklin, Leaving space unallocated will not make it swap. Swap does count against your 4 primary partitions. That's a limit caused by the hdd not the OS. | 03:56 |
| crivit | edbian: what your hdd? | 03:56 |
| DasEi | edbian: not if the fs can't work on ,as a superblock could be damaged, need a live for it then to check | 03:56 |
| edbian | crivit, Could you rephrase that? | 03:57 |
| sdfasdfasdfasdf | tensorpudding, i'm sorry i just don't get it fully, and trust me i've googled a lot and there isn't good clear information, if kgpg creates this private key lets imagine its a .key file (don't know) why then do i have to learn a pass phrase if i have the key + the .gpg file containing my protected tar.gz? | 03:57 |
| osmario | Hi all. Does anybody know how to sincronize Ipod Classic at Rhythmbox? | 03:57 |
| crivit | edbian: The system drops to a shell? please explain | 03:57 |
| DasEi | crivit: the fsck breaks down | 03:58 |
| smackmanic | DasEi: sent...I hope it was not too long | 03:58 |
| edbian | DasEi, Does corrupt mean that the hdd is physically broken? Will this be an easy fix using gparted on a live CD? It's not actually me fixing it. It's a friend's computer and he's far away. I have to explain it to him. | 03:58 |
| DasEi | smackmanic: no pm arrived, myabe a pastebin ? | 03:59 |
| edbian | crivit, Yeah, when your hdd fails that built it fs check it drops to a shell. | 03:59 |
| edbian | crivit, a bash shell | 03:59 |
| sdfasdfasdfasdf | tensorpudding, and what is that attacker thing you mention, i thought gpg was quite good at hiding files, it means someone can download some sort of crack (?) and read my file easily if this person got access to my .gpg? | 03:59 |
| DasEi | edbian: no, can also be the fact, but mostly it's just the filesystem | 03:59 |

| edbian | DasEi, I understand that as: "no" the hard drive is not physically broken. "can also be the fact" what does that mean?? | 04:00 |
| inktri1 | \frac{5}{6} | 04:00 |
| edbian | crivit, Don't know, haven't seen it myself. | 04:00 |
| inktri1 | \[ \frac{5}{6} \] | 04:00 |
| inktri1 | $\frac{5}{6}$ | 04:00 |
| DasEi | edbian: i can be physically broken, but most time this behaviour is caused by the fs, not the hardware | 04:01 |
| crivit | edbian: so fsck dosent give you a message? | 04:01 |
| edbian | crivit, It might. It's a remote PC. I don't know. | 04:01 |
| sdfasdfasdfasdf | uhm apparently he is away could someone please answer me the question i just asked to tensorpudding? , i would really appreaciate it =) | 04:01 |
| smackmanic | sdfasdfasdfasdf: I wish I could... | 04:02 |
| tensorpudding | sdfasdfasdfasdf: the encryption is there so that if someone stole your .tar.gz file, they couldn't read it | 04:02 |
| crivit | edbian: so fs check it drops to a shell? | 04:02 |
| hydester | hi. i am using ./ssh/authorized_keys, and it works fine. then suddenly i get prompted for my password again. any idea why or how this would time out? | 04:02 |
| DasEi | smackmanic: follow the link to restore grub, use a live cd, that will give you all checks; and a agin, newer distro no offer ? | 04:02 |
| DasEi | !grub | 04:02 |
| ubottu | grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 04:02 |
| edbian | DasEi, I'm going to tell him to boot Ubuntu (live CD), check the hdd using gparted, and if it doesn't fix the problem I'm going to assume that the HDD is physically broken and advise him to grab the data using the live CD (if he can) and get a new HDD / computer. | 04:02 |
| smackmanic | DasEi: livecd is not currently an option.... | 04:02 |
| edbian | crivit, Yes. Have I not already said that? | 04:02 |
| tensorpudding | sdfasdfasdfasdf: by attacker i mean someone who wants to read your .tar.gz file without your consent | 04:02 |
| DasEi | edbian: oh, not yours, no check by fsck/e2fsck | 04:02 |
| smackmanic | had it been an option I would have immediately updated grub with it heh | 04:03 |
| smackmanic | and ran fsck , etc | 04:03 |
| edbian | DasEi, "Not yours?" what do you mean? | 04:03 |
| tensorpudding | sdfasdfasdfasdf: there are ways to try and break the encryption, but they are effectively useless for the most part | 04:03 |
| crivit | edbian: well your problem is NOT explained | 04:03 |
| smackmanic | because I had a hunch that was an issue when I first saw the errors...however livecd is not an option right now...editing grub is | 04:03 |
| sdfasdfasdfasdf | tensorpudding, you mean steal my .gpg file encrypted containing my tar.gz right? or kgpg doesnt alter the original tar.gz | 04:03 |
| josephseraos | alô | 04:03 |
| tensorpudding | RSA encryption is based on certain mathematical properties of large numbers | 04:03 |
| tensorpudding | sdfasdfasdfasdf: that is what i meant, the tar.gz.gpg file | 04:03 |
| DasEi | edbian: going to tell him ^ | 04:04 |
| smackmanic | heh..so I have the solution for editing grub...I just don't believe I'm editing it correctly | 04:04 |

| meesebyte | This is what I want to do: Install Win7 on MacBook pro, and then install ubuntu. Is there a way yo /just/ use GRUB as the boot menu instead of boot camp? | 04:05 |
| tensorpudding | sdfasdfasdfasdf: so i forgot what your original question was | 04:06 |
| sdfasdfasdfasdf | tensorpudding, not enought words to thank you man, i wish someone wrote this and it got in first google page :D. so to be sure i fully understood if my hdd broke and i needed to read again this tar.gz i woould have to not only back up in any mediea the tar.gz.gpg file but the .key backup file too and of course remember the pass phrase the .key file is protecting then. Then in my reinstall of ubuntu, i would have to make kgpg re | 04:06 |
| sdfasdfasdfasdf | ad this backup file and doueble click the tar.gz.gpg? isnt it? | 04:06 |
| crivit | edbian: if the hdd is broken fully you wont get any data off it | 04:07 |
| edbian | crivit, I know. I'm afraid of that for him. | 04:07 |
| tensorpudding | sdfasdfasdfasdf: the GnuPG page has a ton of information about how gpg works | 04:07 |
| cast | there's a Concepts part to the manual which is nice | 04:08 |
| cast | but, public key based cryptosystems are non-trivial | 04:09 |
| tensorpudding | sdfasdfasdfasdf: If you wanted to back up your gpg key, you can export the key to a file, save the file somewhere on some backup media, then import the key into gpg when necessary | 04:09 |
| sdfasdfasdfasdf | tensorpudding, ok i'll take a look but what i said right before is right? | 04:09 |
| Tux414 | Hello all, I have an acer aspire 3810TZ and my internal microphone doesn't work. Also my internet shows unknown or 1 mbps. Does anyone know how to fix this? | 04:09 |
| crivit | edbian: for who>? | 04:09 |
| DasEi | sdfasdfasdfasdf: install signing-party and pgpgpg, then use the man-function, a 10 min task then | 04:09 |
| edbian | crivit, The friend of mine who's computer this is we're talking about. | 04:09 |
| cast | you can even print out your key, it takes up about 1/4 of a page, one uses paperkey for that | 04:09 |
| tensorpudding | sdfasdfasdfasdf: if you're afraid of losing the passphrase you can write it down in a file on the backup | 04:09 |
| josephseraos | hey.. I can't to find. I entered in some channels and I don't know how to change to other channels. I can't to find it on irssi.org | 04:10 |
| tensorpudding | sdfasdfasdfasdf: the description of the process you gave is correct | 04:10 |
| crivit | edbian: put the drive in question in another pc | 04:10 |
| tensorpudding | sdfasdfasdfasdf: like cast said, you can back up the key by printing it out | 04:10 |
| sdfasdfasdfasdf | DasEi, i think i just learned howto use kgpg hehe. | 04:10 |
| tensorpudding | it's just a rather long string of random alphanumeric characters | 04:10 |
| tensorpudding | random-looking* | 04:11 |
| cast | it turns out the secret part of your key is only a few hundred bits, commonly 200-400 bits, | 04:11 |
| edbian | Is there a big difference between fsck and e2fsck ?? | 04:11 |
| sdfasdfasdfasdf | woah interesting | 04:11 |
| EvilPhoenix | whats the CLI command to get the distro info | 04:11 |
| DasEi | sdfasdfasdfasdf: fine two, just another frontend, but nice to know cmd-line, can use on other OS'es, too then | 04:11 |
| sdfasdfasdfasdf | can i use stronger protection, i think there is 2048 bits, its this safe enought or theres even more? | 04:11 |
| tensorpudding | edbian: fsck calls e2fsck I believe | 04:11 |
| crivit | edbian: haha only light years away | 04:12 |
| tensorpudding | edbian: you use fsck and it calls the appropriate program to fsck that filesystem | 04:12 |
| ennui | hey guys, I borked my OSX partition on my dual boot macbook. Trying to use my iPod to boot from as an OSX install DVD. though I don't have disk usage enabled on it.... what are my options? running the windows version of itunes under wine? I can't restart my comp as I won't be able to boot back into linux because I was using rEFIt and I guess that was part of the OSX partition. | 04:12 |
| edbian | tensorpudding, That's what I thought. Thanks :) | 04:12 |
| dustin | hello? | 04:12 |
| * smackmanic rm -rf ubuntubuggy =( | 04:13 | |
| tensorpudding | sdfasdfasdfasdf: I think 1024 bits is considered to be safe on the multi-decade scale at current | 04:13 |
| tensorpudding | as in, the time it takes to brute-force it will take decades of computer time | 04:13 |
| cast | sdfasdfasdfasdf: 2048 bit is the size of the finite field you're operating in, with a 2048 bit ELG key your secret keys still only 330 bits, but your public key is 2048*2 and then some | 04:13 |

| tensorpudding | Apparently 768bit RSA has been broken earlier this year, using 1500 years of computer time | 04:14 |
| sdfasdfasdfasdf | cast, i see. | 04:15 |
| tensorpudding | 1500 years in the equivalent of a standard desktop pc | 04:15 |
| smackmanic | DasEi: currently the only route I can pursue...is either editign grub boot...or doing something with busybox. however...heh...I think busybox may be the most useless shell in the world | 04:15 |
| cast | the world, is rightfully so, moving away from 1024 bit keys | 04:15 |
| josephseraos | I got! //window <number> | 04:15 |
| josephseraos | I got! / /window <number> | 04:15 |
| tensorpudding | the whole effort involved a massive supercomputer using an integer sieve | 04:15 |
| dustin | busybox? whats that? | 04:15 |
| cast | attacking RSA is a bit easier than attacking ELG, for what it's worth | 04:15 |
| smackmanic | it's a bit frustrating because obviously the solution is there...I'm not doing it properly... | 04:15 |
| DasEi | smackmanic: considering repairing grub, yes | 04:15 |
| tensorpudding | 1024 will be safe for a bit yet. | 04:15 |
| josephseraos | I got! / window <number> | 04:16 |
| smackmanic | dustin: a shell I hope you never see mate | 04:16 |
| edbian | DasEi, Thanks for your help! :) | 04:16 |
| smackmanic | =p | 04:16 |
| sdfasdfasdfasdf | tensorpudding, wow i'm using 2048 then :D | 04:16 |
| DasEi | dustin: a minimal shell you get dropped to if initramfs fails | 04:16 |
| DasEi | edbian: fs fixed ? | 04:16 |
| cast | gpg defaults are now 2048, have been for a while | 04:16 |
| tensorpudding | sdfasdfasdfasdf: the resources to break 1024 would be out of the reach of most everyone | 04:16 |
| edbian | DasEi, No, I sent an email though. | 04:16 |
| smackmanic | dustin: apparently a lot of people who jumped from 8.04 to the latest version ge to wake up to it... | 04:17 |
| DasEi | edbian: so I got you right, not your box | 04:17 |
| dustin | its that like when a pc gets a bluescreenfodeath, and you do theat to reveive it | 04:17 |
| crivit | edbian: what box you on? | 04:17 |
| DasEi | smackmanic: huh ? you have the choice of grub2 there, nor ? | 04:17 |
| edbian | DasEi, You helped me start solving a problem for somebody else. No offense but I find it very difficult to understand what you're saying. | 04:17 |
| edbian | crivit, My own. This box has no problems. Running Debian :) | 04:18 |
| tensorpudding | though honestly i don't think you'll ever convince anyone that there is such a thing as too many bits in a private key | 04:18 |
| cast | sure you will | 04:18 |
| smackmanic | DasEi: no because I cannot access updates from busybox (there's not even sudo..) and as I've said livecd is -not- an option | 04:18 |
| edbian | crivit, It's my friends computer that has the problems. Again, I've said this to you I'm I not making sense? | 04:18 |
| sdfasdfasdfasdf | i see now i managed to think this: if i encrypt with 2048 bits an already encrypted file in same bits. it woult take sort of 4096 protection cause it'd take a lot of time to decrypt the 2048 bits to get another 2048 file, hehe double amount of time am i correct? | 04:18 |
| cast | when it takes too long to use the key :) | 04:18 |
| tensorpudding | anyone truly paranoid | 04:18 |
| tensorpudding | cast: techonology advances allow for larger keys as easily as they allow for easier brute forcing | 04:19 |
| cast | sdfasdfasdfasdf: no. | 04:19 |
| crivit | edbian:sure you are but I wasnt here later | 04:19 |
| DasEi | smackmanic: so one more time, backup files and do a fresh install ? any other possibility to hang that hd on working system ? | 04:19 |
| tensorpudding | even 768 is safe enough in the short term | 04:20 |
| smackmanic | DasEi: I have the solution though...I just don't understand it | 04:20 |

| tensorpudding | until people who care enough to break your encrypted files have access to computing power equal to 1500 years on average 2010 desktop PC's | 04:20 |

| les_ | @hylian I'm new to IRC, so just listening for now, thanks! | 04:27 |
| crivit | edbian:only trying to help | 04:27 |
| deexannihilate | xangua: yes. it is installed | 04:27 |
| smackmanic | hrishi: i think it's just to tick you off | 04:27 |
| callipygous | ah left shift worked, thanks :) | 04:28 |
| hylian | les: ok :) | 04:28 |
| chilli0 | If I try: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/media there is no problems. But If i add this to my fstab i get bad fstype. Anyone know why? /dev/sdb1 /media/media ntfs 0 0 | 04:28 |
| DasEi | callipygous: modify timeout/spalsh /etc/default/grub, update-grub (as root) afterwards | 04:28 |
| DasEi | callipygous: be fine then | 04:28 |
| edbian | crivit, Attempt appreciated :) | 04:28 |
| hrishi | smackmanic: hope they change it in meerkat atleast. | 04:28 |
| cast | chilli0: you're double posting. | 04:28 |
| ubuntunoob | ? for any1: Is there any good online radi streamer for ubuntu? | 04:29 |
| smackmanic | hrishi: I hope this buggy update didn't eff me over on this OS | 04:29 |
| smackmanic | ;) | 04:29 |
| DasEi | chilli0: pastebin the whole fstab line | 04:29 |
| chilli0 | DasEi, I did. | 04:29 |
| chilli0 | Well , that is the whole line. | 04:29 |
| tik | does ayone know where I can get the vhook libraries for ffmpeg (it's been depreciated) or a good watermarking software? | 04:29 |
| hrishi | :D | 04:29 |
| chilli0 | cast, Because I want help, other chan hadn't offered anything so I asked here. | 04:29 |
| dustin | Tux414,well try it anyways , i got lucky with a driver for my lappy, that i had been lookin for, and it was in the system bank, newly updated | 04:29 |
| hylian | chilli0: i know it's best to use the devices number than the /sdb1 bit, but i don't think that should be your problem. did you have to force this to mount in the past? | 04:29 |
| tik | sorry to bug you guys that was on a timer i disabledit | 04:29 |
| hrishi | one more query. Why is it that ubuntu lucid is drinking battery power 40% or more when compared to "Windows 7"!!!! for crying out loud | 04:30 |
| dustin | Tux414,some time later | 04:30 |
| smackmanic | hrishi: hahahahahahaha I was just about to mention | 04:30 |
| tik | hrishi: did you set the screen brightness down and set the drive to spin down? | 04:30 |
| cast | chilli0: but you cant be using *both* operating systems | 04:30 |
| smackmanic | that apparently lucid doesn't handle CPU very well at all...let lucid stay installed as ur main OS for a year or so | 04:30 |
| DasEi | chilli0: /dev/sdb1 /media/media ntfs user,auto 0 0 | 04:30 |
| ubuntunoob | ? for any1: Is there any good online radio streamer for ubuntu? | 04:30 |
| smackmanic | it'll eat the graphics card up | 04:30 |
| chilli0 | Thanks DasEi I shall try that now. | 04:31 |
| DasEi | fore more possib's : | 04:31 |
| smackmanic | I've seen it happen to five mates so far, ones right now at the point of flickering screen | 04:31 |
| chilli0 | cast, They work in the same way , ubuntu is based of debian. | 04:31 |
| DasEi | !fstab | chilli0 | 04:31 |
| ubottu | chilli0: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 04:31 |
| les_ | @ubuntunoob If not, I believe there are Firefox addons | 04:31 |
| ubuntunoob | ok ty :D | 04:31 |
| crivit | edbian: hacker talk is problemtic sorry# | 04:31 |
| tik | is thi hdrive external? | 04:32 |
| hrishi | I heard the GPU runs at full speed and that 'might' be the problem? Is this true? | 04:32 |
| tik | you shouldn't mount external hdrives with fstab | 04:32 |
| Tux414 | dustin: 10.10 it works but on 10.4 it won't work my computer is an acer aspire 3810 TZ. | 04:32 |
| hrishi | Its mainly a kernel issue I guess as the same effect is present on fedora 13 as well | 04:32 |
| edbian | crivit, No worries :) | 04:32 |
| chilli0 | DasEi, Seemed to work so far. Thanks. | 04:32 |
| ennui | does anyone know of a channel dedicated to netbook discussion? I'd like to run a linux distro on a netbook but I was looking for advice as to which model netbook to invest in. was hoping for something powerful enough to playback 1080p mkv files in mplayer | 04:32 |
| AlbertoP | Uruz: do not ping please | 04:32 |
| smackmanic | hrishi..'might'........ | 04:33 |
| dustin | Tux414, whats wont again? did you do my advice? | 04:33 |
| DasEi | chilli0: np, nice | 04:33 |
| smackmanic | it'll fry the machine eventually | 04:33 |
| hrishi | smackmanic: yeah ... thanks to todays cooling techniques, we're saved :D :D | 04:33 |
| xangua | ennui: netbooks normally are not designed to play HD videos | 04:33 |
| === josephseraos_ is now known as josephseraos | ||
| smackmanic | hrishi: idk...I've seen 5 laptops get fried by lucid so far, personally. | 04:34 |
| hylian | !fstab | 04:34 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 04:34 |
| smackmanic | altho they were all dells..so i think it also has soemthing to do with a certain model of dell laptops | 04:34 |
| crivit | smackmanic: fried??? | 04:34 |
| hrishi | smackmanic: wow! 5 ... this is bad .... | 04:34 |
| smackmanic | crivit: basically made destroyed the monitor | 04:34 |
| steph_ | Hi , a little trouble with compiz here with lucid, if i create a shortcut in application at startup with the command "compiz --replace" , after starting a proccess is working in loop and I have my CPU at 34 ~40 % ... if instead I start without this and in a terminal : compiz --replace , I dont have trouble.. any idea? | 04:35 |
| smackmanic | made the graphics card useless and did some damage to HD | 04:35 |
| les_ | I'm on a Dell with Lucid now, and it works great...inspiron 640m...came with XP | 04:35 |
| smackmanic | they were all dells...a certain model....I forget which | 04:35 |
| Tux414 | dustin: could you please repeat your advice | 04:35 |
| smackmanic | les_, right, I don't think it's all dells | 04:35 |
| smackmanic | I'm using dell myself...an ancient desktop but a dell nonetheless | 04:35 |
| dustin | go to pm opk? | 04:35 |
| smackmanic | and I don't have cpu probs | 04:35 |
| smackmanic | except I don't have enough cpu...=p | 04:36 |
| ennui | xangua: I know they aren't normally but many new netbooks now have HD resolution screens | 04:36 |
| giov | What is the __KDE__ sw that shows the hardware in a system - ex, USB hw info? There used to be something called KControl in KDE3, but thatś gone. - Iḿ unable to get connected to #KUbuntu. | 04:36 |
| hylian | les_ yeah the dell's, especially the dimension models seem to work really well with ubuntu. | 04:36 |
| les_ | I lucked out, as I'm new to Linux, and my first try was on my Dell. If it hadn't gone well, I might not have switched. | 04:36 |
| smackmanic | les_...I think once I get ubuntu actually running again, I'm going to switch to debian | 04:37 |
| smackmanic | to be honest. | 04:37 |
| tik | 99gioz: loa terminal and type lsusb | 04:37 |
| les_ | Why....stability? | 04:37 |
| xangua | giov: maybe because is not #KUbuntu is #kubuntu | 04:37 |
| hrishi | smackmanic: is there 'any' solutions for this battery issue ... reducing the brightness and spinning down hard disks is just going around the problem, giving trouble to the user, than solving the problem! :D | 04:37 |
| xangua | giov: you maybe need to register your nick¿ | 04:37 |
| smackmanic | les_: yeah. everytime we update something in ubuntu something breaks | 04:37 |
| smackmanic | and ubuntu is terrible at handling the cpu compared to debian | 04:38 |
| hylian | les_ it also helps that dell seems to like using nvidia hardware. I'm running a self built machine, ubuntu 10.04 amd64 bit edition. runs great. | 04:38 |
| les_ | smackmanic: do you have a lot of stuff installed? | 04:38 |
| DasEi | giov: for gnome it's gnome-device-manager, maybe search synaptic for kde ? | 04:38 |
| tik | debian is an old distro ubuntu is virtual new comaired to sum give it time | 04:38 |
| smackmanic | hrishi: they did that...idk if that actually helped any at all..see...the problem wasn't completely noticeable except the battery was very hot..then the monitor would randomly flicker... | 04:38 |
| smackmanic | so it sortof sneaks up on you | 04:38 |
| les_ | hylian: good to know | 04:38 |
| crivit | smackmanic:live cd is not really meant to be updated | 04:38 |
| * bintut waves | 04:39 | |
| bintut | what is your preferred filesystem when the clients are *nix and windows other than by using samba? | 04:39 |
| smackmanic | crivit: I'm not even using livecd mate.... | 04:39 |
| edbian | bintut, Windows only supports samba and ftp. ftp is a security joke. | 04:39 |
| hrishi | smackmanic: then I guess it still remains a problem! hmmmm...... | 04:39 |
| les_ | smackmanic: I'm a newbie, but I've installed on three PC's now several times, and it seems ok until I add other desktop environments | 04:39 |
| smackmanic | hrishi: I would just google ur laptop model or whatever and CPU and ubuntu to check it out | 04:40 |
| les_ | Such as KDE | 04:40 |
| smackmanic | les_: I'm usually fine unless I update anything at all | 04:40 |
| hylian | bintut i personally prefer ext 3 because there are some nice windows programs that can write to ext3. | 04:40 |
| les_ | lol | 04:40 |
| DasEi | bintut: ext3 | 04:40 |
| smackmanic | anytime I go for an update, ubuntu gives me the finger | 04:40 |
| furythor | How well Nvidia Geforce 400 series graphics cards are supported in Ubuntu 10.04 ? | 04:41 |
| smackmanic | hence I waited so long to update... | 04:41 |
| bintut | edbian: i'm asking for filesystem served or can be accessed over the lan | 04:41 |
| les_ | smackmanic, what kind of system do you have? | 04:41 |
| === EvilPhoenix is now known as Mithos | ||
| jsimmons | should be fine furythor. | 04:41 |
| bintut | hylian: it should be able to access from the lan | 04:41 |
| smackmanic | les_: a verrrry old dell dimension | 04:41 |
| DasEi | furythor: just check the nvidia homepage , and look for the xorg-version postet there, lucid is 1.7.5 | 04:41 |
| tik | anyone know free watemarking software for .avi fes? | 04:41 |
| tik | files | 04:41 |
| furythor | jsimmons: So basically if I buy new card, make fresh install etc, it should work flawlessly ? | 04:41 |
| smackmanic | im surprised my harddrive still works | 04:41 |
| tik | bintut: samba is your best be | 04:42 |
| edbian | bintut, yeah, either samba or ftp if you're using windows. If you're over a lan than the ftp isn't such a horrible idea. Samba is still much preferred. | 04:42 |
| tik | t | 04:42 |
| xDATx | any support yet for macbook pro? | 04:42 |
| itsux2bu | wow.. i'm new to linux and ubuntu.. also wanted to try out wmplayer too.. found this.. its just what i needed.. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/11287/how-to-run-ubuntu-in-windows-7-with-vmware-player/ | 04:42 |
| les_ | smackmanic, yes I hear Debian is much better for stability because they update very conservatively. Might work for you. | 04:42 |
| jsimmons | Should do furythor, you'll have to install the nvidia restricted drivers before you can get 3D acceleration, or even possible full resolution. But yes. | 04:42 |
| tik | itsux2bu: I recommend sun virtual box it's freeware | 04:43 |
| smackmanic | les_: lol it doesn't bother me so much except these are common bugs and there seems to be not a lot of help in fixing them | 04:43 |
| itsux2bu | so is vmplayer | 04:43 |
| smackmanic | and they don't exactly warn you up front...so most of the time it's a surprise | 04:43 |
| furythor | jsimmons: yeah I know that, just curious to know that I don't get expensive and useless graphics card for my system | 04:43 |
| tik | you can create with vmplayer? | 04:43 |
| DasEi | bintut: samba is most comfort, for throughput rsync and such are better, nas is little faster then samba, too | 04:43 |
| smackmanic | like..this is a surprise, whats not a surprise? I promise you lucid does not include my sound modules. | 04:43 |
| skumara | i get this error 'The following packages block the update: pm-utils-powersave-policy'. I want to install laptop mode. pls help. | 04:43 |
| dustin | furythor, yes:) i did it (most of the time ) try to install the set up vmware after to test it | 04:43 |
| hylian | bintut i know that software works locally, i have never used it over a network. technically it should work, but, i can't guarantee it | 04:43 |
| les_ | smackmanic, I know what you mean. I've come to love Linux, but that is one HUGE issue that needs to be overcome. | 04:43 |
| smackmanic | or w/e we're on these days. I wouldn't know, I rebooted and now it's bunk lol | 04:44 |
| tik | smackmanic: a lot of cards are supported | 04:44 |
| tik | thought | 04:44 |
| tik | what do you have? | 04:44 |
| furythor | another question, AMD Phenom II x4 cpus work also on ubuntu 10.04 ? | 04:44 |
| hylian | i stumbled upon a version of android for pc, im gonna check it out. im hoping it wil make a nice little os for a kiosk type set up, mostly for my nephews. | 04:44 |
| dustin | furythor, no 100% sucussed but if you do then you saved your self alot of time and moving files | 04:44 |
| tik | you can tr some different models and see if they work for it | 04:44 |
| DasEi | furythor: yesss | 04:44 |
| jsimmons | they will work fine furythor. | 04:44 |
| les_ | My download is finished. Going now, so I can try out Mint KDE on my wife's laptop | 04:45 |
| itsux2bu | starting with vmplayer v3 you can "create" vm's | 04:45 |
| les_ | Good night, all! | 04:45 |
| tik | les: njo | 04:45 |
| tik | y | 04:45 |
| hylian | !bye | les_ | 04:45 |
| ubottu | les_: Au revoir! | 04:45 |
| tik | oh.. din't know that | 04:45 |
| DasEi | itsux2bu: pmm you ? | 04:45 |
| hylian | i don't know why i made ubottu say bye... | 04:46 |
| steph_ | any one has met a compiz startup trouble after upgrading from karmic to lucid? | 04:46 |
| smackmanic | sorry had a phone call | 04:46 |
| furythor | okay, I may be getting upgrade for my computer so I would not need to "sulk" my slow'mo computer in Assembly10 ... *grin* | 04:46 |
| skumara | i get this error 'The following packages block the update: pm-utils-powersave-policy'. I want to install laptop mode. pls help. | 04:46 |
| DasEi | itsux2bu: may I pm you ? | 04:47 |
| furythor | anyhow I am off, it is 6:45 here and I gotta get some sleep... | 04:47 |
| tik | smackmanic: what card do you have for audio? you can try it under a different model | 04:47 |
| itsux2bu | DasEi yes | 04:47 |
| asdfasdfasdf | it's me again in dolphin when i right click the tar.gz i want to encrypt with kgpg it only gives me the option to encrypt it using a publick key :S, how could i create a private key? the generate options create two both public and private,i'm not intending to distribute my encrypted file and much less make it available publicly so what do you suggest? | 04:47 |
| xDATx | How different is it to go from Ubuntu to Debian? | 04:48 |
| smackmanic | tik: it's a creative sb live card | 04:48 |
| tik | creative sound be covered | 04:48 |
| tik | hd on | 04:48 |
| tik | hold | 04:48 |
| smackmanic | xDATx: not very much difference IMO, I use debian off and on, with another machine | 04:48 |
| steph_ | the repository xDaTx | 04:48 |
| xDATx | I am halfwayu through Linux-Tutorial.info | 04:48 |
| hylian | "We want to get rid of laptop-mode-tools. We want to make pm-utils the | 04:48 |
| hylian | single point of implementing power management features." | 04:48 |
| xDATx | want to get my linux + by the end of October | 04:48 |
| smackmanic | it is just as friendly as ubuntu...quite a bit more stable | 04:48 |
| smackmanic | but if ubuntu works, let it work I say | 04:49 |
| bdrum_ | I am getting a hard lock at logout (keyboard unresponsive, need to hard boot) - I am thinking GDM is at fault. I checked the logs but can't see anything particular. Any ideas of next step? | 04:49 |
| tik | what is /etc/modprobe.d/asla-base.conf say ? | 04:49 |
| tik | is/does | 04:49 |
| dustin | steph_,i think.. what is compiz again? | 04:49 |
| cast | asla/alsa ;) | 04:49 |
| xDATx | Where I work the LAN engineers are pushing me to use Slackware but it is too crude for my taste. | 04:49 |
| xDATx | You have to do everything so manually. | 04:50 |
| smackmanic | xDATx: I will say this, one thing for me that's an issue....ubuntu devs will literally alter code on some programs so they wont import mp3s (yes, this is true. i've inquired canonical about it.) | 04:50 |
| edbian | xDATx, Debian is older. You'll notice that right away. Using them is pretty much the same. Debian gets out of your way a little more I think. Once you've moved in to the distro though there is almost no difference besides the release cycle. | 04:50 |
| smackmanic | such as a DAW program. | 04:50 |
| cast | xDATx: they're "LAN" engineers. tell them to sod off | 04:50 |
| xDATx | smackmanic, edbian ok cool thanks | 04:51 |
| xDATx | I'll give it a try | 04:51 |
| crivit | xDATx: debian will keep you onyour toes | 04:51 |
| edbian | xDATx, How anybody could stand using a distro without a package manager is beyond me. | 04:51 |
| smackmanic | tik sorry I didn't see your question.ummm, gee, I'd love to tell you, except ubuntu won't boot right now. | 04:51 |
| xDATx | how about updates are they as current at Ubuntu? | 04:51 |
| steph_ | dustin , with karmic , compiz was launched at start , with the comand "compiz --replace" in the menu application at startup , but with this way after starting , my cpu is working at 30% with a proccess in loop , if i dont use this command at startup menu , but instead , the command compiz -replace in a terminal , then all is ok | 04:51 |
| hylian | edbian if im not mistaked debian comes with apt-get. | 04:51 |
| cast | edbian: and how it became the number 1 OS like that is also beyond me! | 04:51 |
| smackmanic | whenever I get some help on a simple grub issue I will be sure to letcha know mate | 04:51 |
| edbian | hylian, I was talking about slackware | 04:51 |
| edbian | cast, ha ha :) | 04:52 |
| smackmanic | edbian, .debs are very friendly.. | 04:52 |
| hylian | edbian im totally with you there. | 04:52 |
| crivit | cast: it was around long before others!!! | 04:52 |
| cast | oh, we aren't talking about windows? | 04:52 |
| cast | for what its worth, slackware and debian are quite similar in age | 04:52 |
| smackmanic | altho it's def nice to have a gui and click click...and have everything together so you can go to the terminal and just sudo apt | 04:52 |
| tik | oh ok | 04:52 |
| smackmanic | but..eh | 04:52 |
| tik | smackmanic: oh ok | 04:52 |
| DasEi | !latest | xDATx | 04:52 |
| ubottu | xDATx: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. | 04:52 |
| tik | smackmanic:put in a live cd and mount the partition :P | 04:53 |
| smackmanic | tik: :) | 04:53 |
| hylian | i can't wrap my head around debian's website. so many packages. i want something that says, oh you want this this and this. not, ohh, here's a million possible packages, and you figure it out. | 04:53 |
| DasEi | xDATx: you can, on your own risk, add newer repos for things you want/need | 04:53 |
| tik | smackmanic: why won't it boot? | 04:53 |
| smackmanic | haha for the dozenth time..livecd not an option..i have the solution! I'm too stupid to do it without a walkthru! hahaha | 04:53 |
| crivit | cast: age... but not usability | 04:53 |
| xDATx | updates are very frequent I noticed in Ubuntu. Including kernel updates whats up with that? | 04:53 |
| tik | maybe I can help | 04:53 |
| crivit | cast: age... but not usability | 04:53 |
| smackmanic | mate I can send you a link...the fix is fairly simple, I'm just doing something wrong | 04:53 |
| smackmanic | something is 'off | 04:53 |
| smackmanic | 'off' | 04:53 |
| edbian | hylian, I know, 23 CD's the first time I saw that I was like what the hell? | 04:54 |
| tik | url me to the location of theworkaround | 04:54 |
| DasEi | hylian: google perfect desktop | 04:54 |
| tik | and ill PM you | 04:54 |
| cast | hylian: damn that choice. | 04:54 |
| cast | debian having a lot of software packaged for it is *not* an argument against it. | 04:54 |
| xDATx | I am on a D620 latitude so I don't really have any hardware issues. Everything works out of the box. | 04:55 |
| tik | anyone know of simple watermarking software? even colsole im game | 04:55 |
| cast | if it were, then the distros without package management would be winning | 04:55 |
| tik | DA: same with an asus laptop | 04:55 |
| bintut | thanks guys for your suggestion | 04:55 |
| hylian | cast i like choice, and i like direction. a city like los angeles and no road map = chaotic. | 04:55 |
| BentFranklin | Ubu is calling my SATA drive a SCSI. That's ok right? | 04:56 |
| cast | hylian: pose a hypothetical software selection problem and i'll pose a hypothetical solution | 04:56 |
| bintut | actually, i was waiting for someone who will be suggesting sshfs, nfsv4, openafs, etc.. but no one able to mention it as i already explicitly except for samba | 04:56 |
| cast | BentFranklin: yes. | 04:56 |
| edbian | bintut, Those don't work with windows. | 04:56 |
| UltraParadigm | Anyone know if there is a Shared Linking Library for Qt to run Qt apps? | 04:56 |
| smackmanic | tik: sorry mate, am using windows and java..you know how that goes... | 04:57 |
| smackmanic | http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1454385.html scroll to the bottom, 2nd to last post | 04:57 |
| hylian | cast maybe you can help me then. i have an interest in debian, i want to start with a functional gui desktop os. where in debian.org do i begin? | 04:57 |
| cast | hylian: during the debian install, you had the option to select 'tasks', one of them was 'desktop environment', it was ticked by default in the installer | 04:58 |
| smackmanic | yah | 04:58 |
| crivit | cast: yeah | 04:58 |
| DasEi | hylian: #debian is there , ubuntu is debian based and most popular, for general linux quests, join #linux | 04:58 |
| BentFranklin | My first install crashed in the installer. The traceback mentioned something called ubituity a lot. I was installing from the Live CD. I'm installing straight from the CD now. I hope that works. | 04:58 |
| bdrum_ | does anyone know the best way to completely disable GDM in ubuntu? | 04:58 |
| shiv | minitube: finally everything works but the video colors are so different with different hues. How do I fix this? | 04:59 |
| cast | hylian: if you installed via a more exotic method, such as debootstrap, or a .tar, you can run tasksel manually, or, better imho, aptitude install gnome xorg | 04:59 |
| hylian | cast but that requires more bandwidth than i have. i download iso's from my library and then use them at home. i need something i can have totally ready and available without reconnecting to the net and downloading for 7 hours before i get everything installed. debian should make a ubuntu-ish desktop cd with most used software ready to go. | 04:59 |
| smackmanic | hylian: it really is much friendly than you'd think..just you have to get used to not using synaptic and such. that's my opinion. I use it for sound editing because as I said, ubuntu devs took it upon themselves to edit software so that id have to import a 300mb wav sample while I have 5 VSTi's open and CPU maxin out | 04:59 |
| smackmanic | ;) | 04:59 |
| bazhang | hylian, cast #debian please | 04:59 |
| cast | hylian: if you get the first debian dvd, it will contain all you need for a graphical desktop | 05:00 |
| bazhang | cast, ? | 05:00 |
| smackmanic | cast: no competition | 05:00 |
| bintut | edbian: they actually work, well.. out of the box as you need to enable or install something for windows will be able to access the "shared" folder that sshfs, nfsv4, openafs, etc. filesystems served on the linux server | 05:00 |
| smackmanic | let's be Microsoft. no debian talk! even though we're based on it | 05:00 |
| hylian | bazhang, thanx you are right this is a discussion for another channel, and thank you cast for the info | 05:00 |
| smackmanic | bwaha | 05:00 |
| crivit | cast: the first DVD will set you up | 05:01 |
| cast | yeah...you're right bazhang, what was i thinking :) why would i want hylian using debian! | 05:01 |
| crivit | cast: the first debian* #DVD will set you up | 05:01 |
| hylian | LOL | 05:01 |
| smackmanic | cast, i know. soooo stupid! | 05:01 |
| hylian | cast ;) | 05:01 |
| asdfasdfasdf | cast why do kgpg creates a public key by default, dont i need only a private key if im not intending to distribute the file? | 05:01 |
| hylian | but ubuntu is only debian "ish", LOL. | 05:02 |
| cast | asdfasdfasdf: most people want a public key, so it does it by default | 05:02 |
| smackmanic | nah uh | 05:02 |
| smackmanic | debian is ish | 05:02 |
| smackmanic | ubuntu is bug | 05:02 |
| fitoria | smackmanic, troll | 05:02 |

| smackmanic | I've been coming here for 2 days trying to get help editing grub properly because there is a bug in the ubuntu update. as you can imagine, it's been a bit stressful mate. just a bit. | 05:03 |
| hylian | ubuntu might be considered a "bug" by some of the more pure debian people, but i think it's the os that's gonna have a chance at taking any real marketspace away from MS. | 05:04 |
| smackmanic | hylian: it def already has, for sure | 05:04 |
| crivit | smackmanic: well unless ubuntu has fixed it you wont get any help! | 05:04 |
| DasEi | smackmanic: 3 people gave you same advices, and also you don't anwer questions clear, that might be a issue | 05:05 |
| smackmanic | just like MS took market from MAC...not exactly a win win | 05:05 |
| bazhang | !ot | 05:05 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 05:05 |
| DasEi | :) | 05:05 |
| crivit | hehe | 05:05 |
| smackmanic | DasEi: I specifically said livecd is not an option. I requested -very- specific help on the grub boot option lol | 05:05 |
| Gnea | !attitude | crivit | 05:05 |
| hylian | smackmanic, are you still having grub problems? does grub not load when you install? i had that problem because i am using both an ati drive and a sata drive | 05:05 |
| smackmanic | you have my EXACT error msgs verbatim on the forum posts. | 05:05 |
| ubottu | crivit: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 05:05 |
| smackmanic | hylian: grub loads, ubuntu won't boot | 05:06 |
| crivit | stop spaming ubuntu bot | 05:06 |
| Gnea | smackmanic: is there a url for that? | 05:06 |
| smackmanic | I need to edit the boot...but it's been a bit since I've messed with this machine, I've no idea what I'm doing, I tried editing a few times, I'm sure I'm doing it wrong | 05:06 |
| hylian | ati drive, i yiy yiy, eidi. | 05:06 |
| DasEi | smackmanic: and from busybox this won't be done, so either hook the cd to another sys or consider backup/fresh install | 05:06 |
| smackmanic | DasEi: why are you dodging my grub edit LOL | 05:06 |
| smackmanic | Gnea: certainly. http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1454385.html | 05:07 |
| smackmanic | notice it's the ubuntu forums. telling me how to fix it. | 05:07 |
| hylian | smackmanic is it giving you an error, what exactly is it doing? | 05:07 |
| smackmanic | hylian: when you jump from 8.04 to the latest ver it messes with your boot options. some weird bug that they haven't taken out | 05:07 |
| smackmanic | won't recognize the UUID (ubuntu is pretty uuid-centric, which makes it hard for me to understand how to fix the boot) | 05:08 |
| Random832 | smackmanic: just fix it to use the /dev - there's only like two places | 05:08 |
| smackmanic | and the 2nd to last post has the fix | 05:08 |
| smackmanic | Random832: right, I believe I'm typing it wrong, though. | 05:09 |
| Random832 | [assuming that you don't have the scsi/usb situation that amkes the uuids necessary] | 05:09 |
| hylian | smackmanic this should not happen, but i have seen it one time before (don't ask me how) but the uuid changed when i went from ubu 6 to ubu 8. | 05:09 |
| smackmanic | that's what I've been trying to get help with...I believe I'm editing the boot incorrectly | 05:09 |
| Gnea | smackmanic: oh WOW, that's quite a problem.. | 05:09 |
| Random832 | smackmanic: what are you doing? | 05:09 |
| itsux2bu | current version of ubuntu? or most stable version is? | 05:09 |
| smackmanic | hylian: yeah..seems to be a jump update bug, reccurring, just like me sound modules ;) | 05:10 |
| hylian | smackmanic have another os you can check the uuid with? | 05:10 |
| DasEi | smackmanic: see my last comment, from that state can use a manual root (e inn grub), but won't access anything else | 05:10 |
| smackmanic | not exactly hylian | 05:10 |
| smackmanic | DasEi: hold on | 05:10 |
| hylian | smackmanic what happens when you use the generic drive "name" instead, like /dev/sdb1/ ? | 05:10 |
| chilli0 | DasEi, Hey , what you said didn't work =S | 05:11 |
| smackmanic | DasEi: are you saying e grub is completely useless? | 05:11 |
| chilli0 | ntfs-3g-mount: mount failed: Invalid argument @DasEi | 05:11 |
| DasEi | smackmanic: you're currently talking froma box , which os ? usb stick around ? | 05:11 |
| smackmanic | hylian, i get errors...i think i'm just doing something incorrectly tho | 05:11 |
| smackmanic | sigh | 05:11 |
| smackmanic | a box | 05:11 |
| DasEi | smackmanic: no, it's not, you can pass the location of /boot there | 05:12 |
| administrador | hola | 05:12 |
| hylian | smackmanic maybe fstab is screwed up? i had that problem before. an ugly fix is to boot from the ubuntu cd and then copy over the cd's fstab. but it works. | 05:12 |
| smackmanic | DasEi....okay then...which is what the post is about... | 05:12 |
| smackmanic | hylian: right, the issue is that this machine does not have enough space for the livecd nor do I have blanks atm | 05:13 |
| smackmanic | the easiest route would be to CORRECT the boot info and then perm fix it all once ur actually in ubuntu | 05:13 |
| Random832 | what errors? in grub or after? | 05:13 |
| smackmanic | Random832: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1454385.html there ya go mate, have a gander, it's fun to read | 05:13 |
| hylian | smackmanic, dang. heh, if i was ther i would you damn small linux, cause once it's booted you can remove the cd. lol. | 05:13 |
| smackmanic | but no, after grub | 05:14 |
| smackmanic | hylian, lol DSL ftw | 05:14 |
| cwillu_at_work | smackmanic, what's the problem you're having? | 05:14 |
| DasEi | chilli0: did you set a dir /media/media and owned it to regular user ? | 05:14 |
| hylian | smackmanic i dont know waht ftw means. | 05:14 |
| smackmanic | I just want to fix my grub boot options...I'm obviously too stupid to correctly edit it though, I'm either formatting it wrong or something is just 'off' | 05:14 |
| smackmanic | hylian: for the win. | 05:14 |
| cwillu_at_work | can't mount the root device or something like that? | 05:14 |
| smackmanic | cwillu_at_work: see link. | 05:15 |
| smackmanic | nope | 05:15 |
| smackmanic | nothing seems to mount | 05:15 |
| Random832 | ok, what edits are you trying to make to the grub conf exactly? you didn't answer before | 05:15 |
| cwillu_at_work | do you know what /dev device it usually is? | 05:15 |
| cwillu_at_work | /dev/sda1 or something like that? | 05:15 |
| Random832 | as in, _what_ exactly did you replace with _what_ | 05:15 |
| chilli0 | DasEi, I'm checking that now. | 05:15 |
| cwillu_at_work | can you boot it from the grub prompt if you edit it from hand at the actual prompt? | 05:15 |
| administrador | HOLA ALGUIEN HABLA ESPANOL | 05:15 |
| smackmanic | cwillu_at_work: I know on this machine ubuntu was installed second. it's a dual boot with windows | 05:16 |

| chilli0 | DasEi, Ehhh. It's owned to : 0 | 05:16 |
| Random832 | smackmanic: uh... is there a way to check? boot the livecd? | 05:16 |
| smackmanic | cwillu_at_work: I'm trying to do that, if I understand you correctly | 05:16 |
| cwillu_at_work | smackmanic, I have to run right away, but if you're still around in an hour or two, I can pretty much guarantee we can get it fixed | 05:16 |
| Random832 | [actually, fstab _should_ say in a comment] | 05:16 |
| smackmanic | again, livecd is NOT an option atm | 05:16 |
| smackmanic | lol | 05:16 |
| cwillu_at_work | smackmanic, do you know if you're running grub 1 or 2? | 05:16 |
| smackmanic | 1 | 05:16 |
| cwillu_at_work | (1.97 or whatever counts as 2) | 05:16 |
| Random832 | smackmanic: well, how _are_ you getting in to edit the conf? | 05:17 |
| smackmanic | im below 2 for sure | 05:17 |
| DasEi | chilli0: sudo chown -R ('$user') /media/media | 05:17 |
| Random832 | i'm confused now | 05:17 |
| smackmanic | im just pressing e when im on grub | 05:17 |
| cwillu_at_work | smackmanic, are you around in a couple hours? | 05:17 |
| smackmanic | editing it | 05:17 |
| smackmanic | then pressing b | 05:17 |
| hylian | smackmanic i am assuming you tried restoring grub? | 05:17 |
| smackmanic | cwillu_at_work: at this rate, eys | 05:17 |
| smackmanic | *yes | 05:17 |
| cwillu_at_work | smackmanic, try variations of root=/dev/sda2 | 05:17 |
| cwillu_at_work | rather than root=UUID=asdfasdfasdfas | 05:17 |
| smackmanic | hylian: nah uh, I can't update or install anything in this shape.. | 05:17 |
| cwillu_at_work | step through 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 | 05:18 |
| Random832 | and try different drives, too - sda5 maybe | 05:18 |
| Random832 | if you don't know | 05:18 |
| itsux2bu | whats ubuntu server? is that with a webpage server built-in? like taking a ubuntu desktop distro and something like apache server and fusing the 2 together? | 05:18 |
| cwillu_at_work | if it doesn't work by five, give up until I get back :p | 05:18 |
| DasEi | chilli0: sudo chown -R $USER /media/media ,wrong os ^ | 05:18 |
| smackmanic | i tried 1 and 2....im not even messing with the UUIDs | 05:18 |
| cwillu_at_work | smackmanic, if you're still in channel, I'll send you a pm | 05:18 |
| smackmanic | I will say that it automatically goes back to (hd0,4) | 05:18 |
| chilli0 | DasEi, kay. Wont work right now =P I dont have sudo set up. | 05:18 |
| DasEi | itsux2bu: it's another flavor of ubu, server-orientated | 05:18 |
| cwillu_at_work | editing it from there isn't permanent | 05:18 |
| smackmanic | which I'm not sure wth is going on there, i thought it should say 0,0 | 05:19 |
| cwillu_at_work | smackmanic, you've been able to boot it though? | 05:19 |
| itsux2bu | cost money? | 05:19 |
| smackmanic | cwillu...get those errors and get sent to busybox shell | 05:19 |

| hylian_ | smackmanic ohh yeah, in order to use chroot, you have to be root, true. he he, oops | 05:34 |
| adalal | the_fool: or just the speakers, and not the headphones? | 05:35 |
| the_fool | adalal, oh, just laptop | 05:35 |
| hylian_ | smackmanic but you are not signed in as grub though. | 05:35 |
| adalal | the_fool: go on the terminal, and go to alsa_mixer | 05:35 |
| adalal | wait | 05:35 |
| smackmanic | hylian_: I'm just so unfamiliar with grub...gotta figure out a way to ensure i'm root when editing grub so i can rule out the errors being bogus | 05:35 |
| hylian_ | smackmanic i could request a cd for you, LOL. | 05:36 |
| DasEi | chilli0: no blanks guest = ..., and the subdir Movies exist ? not movies or sth ? | 05:36 |
| adalal | the_fool: hit 'alsamixer' (w/o the quotes) | 05:36 |
| smackmanic | because that was the first thing I read on ubuntuhowto guide for grub (yes, I read all of this before asking questions.) | 05:36 |
| adalal | the_fool: and keep pavucontrol up on the side as well | 05:36 |
| smackmanic | hylian_, nah, I could get a disk..I'm just trying to fix it in less than a month | 05:36 |
| hylian_ | smackmanic so what happens if you try to sudo su? | 05:36 |
| chilli0 | DasEi, Yeah Movies does exist. I want anyone be able to access that so guest = everyone? | 05:36 |
| smackmanic | well I have not tried sudo or su in grub cmd line | 05:36 |
| smackmanic | but busybox does have not sudo or su | 05:37 |
| smackmanic | *does not | 05:37 |
| the_fool | adalal, ok got both up | 05:37 |
| smackmanic | it's actually quite a lazybox | 05:37 |
| adalal | the_fool: what are the levels in the alsamixer? | 05:37 |
| timon | sudo makes you superuser | 05:37 |
| timon | su is used to switch user | 05:37 |
| smackmanic | timon: I am aware | 05:37 |
| hylian_ | smackmanic busybox? i thought that was another distro, arent you trying to fix a ubuntu grub install? | 05:37 |
| DasEi | chilli0: guest ok = yes to guest ok=yes , and cd && cd /media/media/Movies (??/home/media/media/media/Movies!!) works ? | 05:37 |
| * maco thinks sudo should be aliased to simonsays | 05:37 | |
| teage | Cant watch movie DVDs anymore. Im running Lucid and my movie player starts then suddenly stops. Any help would be greatly helpful. | 05:38 |
| smackmanic | hylian_: busybox is apparrently what comes up when everything fails | 05:38 |
| timon | So why you asking? | 05:38 |
| smackmanic | I'm not entirely should how it's helpful, because even the busybox defenders tell me to get a livecd. | 05:38 |
| hylian_ | smackmanic hmm, interesting. | 05:38 |
| the_fool | adalal, master: 90, headphone: 100 pcm: 99 other 3: 0 | 05:38 |
| DasEi | teage: start vlc from trml, message error output | 05:38 |
| BentFranklin | On the brand new installed desktop there's a rectangle called Desktop Folder. I accidentally X'd it away and can't get it back. But I can still put icons and files on the background window. So, what doe Desktop Folder do for me and do I need / should I want it back? | 05:38 |
| digital_nite | exit | 05:38 |
| smackmanic | but I appreciate ubuntu not including fsck with busybox. must've slipped their minds when they edited it out of the standard busybox package lol | 05:39 |
| teage | K DasEi | 05:39 |
| adalal | the_fool: each time you switch the port on pavucontrol, those levels switch as well... I suggest you try and manipulate some of the levels on alsamixer, esp. the headphone, pcm and other | 05:39 |
| adalal | the_fool: literally configure the volumes for each port | 05:40 |
| the_fool | adalal, k i'll check it out, thanks a ton for the support :) | 05:40 |
| chilli0 | DasEi, cd && cd /media/media/Movies works fine yes. I think its somethign to do with the perms on the files. Because I have another folder that I'm sharing and the same settings work fine. | 05:40 |
| hylian_ | smackmanic uuis mismatches are way more common than i had come to believe. this might be your problem. | 05:40 |
| smackmanic | I'll be right back. I need to smoke a nasty cigarette so I can concentrate on reading all this grub info | 05:40 |
| smackmanic | hylian_: before ubuntu i'd never even seen UUIDs used like this.. | 05:40 |
| DasEi | chilli0: so if no security concerns hinder you, chown the whole /media/media to user media again | 05:41 |
| smackmanic | so i'm completely unfam with how that all works | 05:41 |
| chilli0 | Shall do. | 05:41 |
| erik14213us | hi | 05:41 |
| smackmanic | brb | 05:41 |

| FloodBot1 | !netsplit | 05:41 |
| smackmanic | glad i didnt get up from sit just yet | 05:42 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 05:42 |

| hylian_ | smackmanic i prefer them, if you have more than one drive like me, and they are mismatches, ubuntu has a terrible habit of turning a sda1 on one boot to a sdb1 on the next, and then ubuntu says it cant mount sda1 because it doesnt exist. uuid stops this, my personal beast. | 05:42 |
| erik14213us | i tried 9.10 | 05:42 |
| ridin | ok, the sound settings are gone from the panel, how do i add it back | 05:42 |
| smackmanic | hylian_: ah | 05:42 |
| erik14213us | an the screen would go black during start up an go no further | 05:42 |
| hylian_ | !uuid | 05:43 |
| ubottu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 05:43 |
| smackmanic | lemme smoke!!! | 05:43 |
| smackmanic | ahhhhh | 05:43 |
| smackmanic | =p | 05:43 |
| ridin | well, what's the command for the sound | 05:43 |
| * smackmanic is away for the next 5 to 7 mins | 05:43 | |
| erik14213us | im using computer with intel onboard video | 05:43 |
| hylian_ | smackmanic go have a puff and clear your head | 05:43 |
| ridin | well, what's the command for the sound panel to appear, gnome-sound-indicator-applet? | 05:43 |
| erik14213us | does anyone know if the start up problem was fixed | 05:44 |
| MaRk-I | erik14213us: if you get a black screen after grub, reboot and press the shift key then F6 select the first line and add "i915.modeset=0" to the grub after "quiet splash" | 05:44 |
| erik14213us | anyone here | 05:44 |
| DasEi | teage : from vlc forums could be a broken disc, did you try to put the video-ts to desktop and play it directly ? | 05:45 |

| teage | the disc works fine on my windows machine DasEi. I suspect codecs | 05:46 |
| erik14213us | the issue would be fixed | 05:46 |

| DasEi | chilli0: user media exist on the remote box ? | 05:49 |
| erik14213us | ubuntu 9.04 aint for newbies | 05:50 |
| smackmanic | hylian_: I think I may have read that last nite but I will check it out. by the way 'Remember that for grub (hd0,1) means hda (primary controller master), second partition.' | 05:50 |
| hylian_ | erik14213us hey man are you having trouble editing your grub file? | 05:50 |
| erik14213us | 10.04 aint for newbies | 05:50 |
| smackmanic | would this mean my second partition is actually hd0,1...? | 05:50 |
| erik14213us | yes im newbie to all this | 05:50 |
| DasEi | teage: sudo apt-get --yes install app-install-data-medibuntu apport-hooks-medibuntu libdvdcss2 | 05:51 |
| chilli0 | DasEi, On the client? | 05:51 |
| DasEi | chilli0: yes | 05:51 |
| hylian_ | erik14213us linux is not for newbies. but thats why this chat exists, and there are so many forums, so that your status of newbie quickly vanishes. | 05:51 |
| chilli0 | No. | 05:51 |
| DasEi | chilli0: so create it , sudo adduser media | 05:52 |
| erik14213us | i just thought the issue would be fixed | 05:52 |
| erik14213us | in new releases | 05:52 |
| DasEi | chilli0: a more dirty way is to make the files world-readable | 05:52 |
| chilli0 | DasEi, I don't want to have to do that. I am doing this whole thing for a lot of clients , windows , ubuntu , and mac clients. | 05:52 |

| chilli0 | DasEi, How can I do the second option? | 05:53 |
| smackmanic | hylian_ 'Remember that for grub (hd0,1) means hda (primary controller master), second partition.' would mean my 2nd partition is hd0,1..or am i reading that wrong | 05:53 |
| DasEi | chilli0: sudo chmod 777 /media/media/Movies/someFile.avi | 05:53 |
| chilli0 | for each and every file? | 05:53 |
| smackmanic | currently its set to 0,4...that may have been me or it may be a bug or it may be correct | 05:53 |
| chilli0 | Nooooot going to happen =P ( over 400 files there) | 05:53 |
| erik14213us | ok | 05:54 |
| ridin | ZykoticK9, there mail icon is there, so it seems i already have the indicator applet | 05:54 |
| h2oup | hey, im on lucid with a bcm4312 card, and its losing my connection every 30 seconds. the problem persists in the b43, wl, and ndiswrapper drivers | 05:54 |
| chilli0 | DasEi, Wouldn't I just have to change the perm's of guest? Because I'm logging in as guest via samba. | 05:54 |
| erik14213us | is ubuntu going to fix this | 05:54 |
| erik14213us | in later releases | 05:54 |

| cjs | chilli0 try chmod 777 *.avi | 05:55 |
| smackmanic | erik14213us: I'm sure compiz will be improved greatly for sure. but my guess for you, not anytime soon | 05:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | ridin, if you see mail that is correct. did you try to uninstall pulse audio or something? how did you loose it? | 05:55 |
| DasEi | chilli0: sudo chmod -R 777 /media/media/Movies/ | 05:55 |
| hylian_ | erik14213us i dont know, but you can report this as a bug, although it might already exist as a bug... | 05:55 |
| ridin | ZykoticK9, i don't know | 05:55 |
| smackmanic | hylian_: coincidentally, -this- is reported as bug...and was moved over to questions | 05:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | ridin, is audio working? | 05:55 |
| erik14213us | it seems there programmers are to stupid to fix it | 05:56 |
| erik14213us | sorry | 05:56 |
| chilli0 | chmod: changing permissions of `/media/media/Movies/schoolassignmentavi': Operation not supported | 05:56 |
| jfcaron | If I have a tar.gz (or tar.bz2) archive, is there a way to "untar" it while leaving the files inside compressed with gz (or bz2)? | 05:56 |
| ridin | ZykoticK9, yep perfectly | 05:56 |
| hylian_ | erik14213us it may be that by fixing your bug they open a whole other can of worms, i don't know. | 05:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | chilli0, if that is on a FAT/NTFS it won't understand linux permissions. | 05:56 |
| chilli0 | It's NTFS however its mounted under ntfs-3g | 05:57 |
| MaRk-I | hylian_: stop feeding the troll | 05:57 |
| KwikkSilva | hmm - this driving me nutes | 05:57 |
| erik14213us | so linux themn aint for older hardware | 05:57 |
| erik14213us | ubuntu i meant | 05:57 |
| Derragon | jfcaron, Considering that the .tar.gz is an archive, you have to decompress the whole thing. If there are compresed files within that, it should not uncompress them automatically. | 05:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | ridin, does "apt-cache policy indicator-sound" show as installed? | 05:57 |
| hylian_ | smackmanic have you ever seen ubuntu's #1 bug? :) it's ms windows. they say the fix is to install ubuntu ;) | 05:57 |

| erik14213us | if u got to in an edit grub | 05:57 |
| fbencosme | hi | 05:57 |
| DasEi | chilli0: no, once samba let's you acces and list the dir, these are the local permissions then, errm smb.conf >> create mask = 0700 change into 777 | 05:57 |
| hylian_ | Mark-I who is thr troll, im just trying to be friendly/helpfull, sorry | 05:58 |
| jfcaron | Derragon: So I'll have to tar -xzf the archive, then gzip the individual files after that? | 05:58 |
| smackmanic | even though ubuntu completely screws me over on audio....in ways that it has control over, not an issue of needing to catch up | 05:58 |
| smackmanic | i still dig it | 05:58 |
| fbencosme | I got a problem with MonoDevelop, the Toolbox is empty. How can resolve it? | 05:58 |
| sweetpi | chilli0: 777 is world _writable_, you know this? | 05:58 |
| chilli0 | sweetpi, Yes. | 05:58 |
| ridin | ZykoticK9, i see "Installed: (none)" so i assume i don't have it | 05:58 |
| Derragon | jfcaron, That seems right, yes. The compressed files have just been put into an archive so you don't have to download them all separately, most likely. | 05:58 |
| hylian_ | smackmanic i had to use 8.04 till 2 months ago. no support for my ati x1300. i finally went nividia. | 05:58 |
| picard1421 | anybody know anyhting about pam face authentication | 05:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | ridin, install it then ;) | 05:58 |
| chilli0 | DasEi, sudo smb.conf >> create mask = 0700 change into 777 create Perm dened | 05:59 |
| smackmanic | hylian_: right...i just made the jump from 8.04..ALTHOUGH grub is actually listing it as 8.04 still.. | 05:59 |
| jfcaron | Derragon: Ok thanks. | 05:59 |
| Derragon | s | 05:59 |
| fbencosme | somebody help me..! I got a problem with MonoDevelop, the Toolbox is empty. How can resolve it? | 05:59 |
| Derragon | jfcaron, No problem. | 05:59 |
| smackmanic | will worry about that when i get there lol | 05:59 |
| Derragon | smackmanic, Updating Ubuntu only updates the actual files, not the entry listed in the GRUB Bootloader. | 06:00 |

| ZykoticK9 | ridin, looks like you have a broken package. try running "sudo apt-get -f install" and see if it helps. | 06:01 |
| smackmanic | heh | 06:01 |
| DasEi | chilli0: I wouldn't recommend SWAT, as it tends to complicate things | 06:01 |
| chilli0 | Ohok. | 06:01 |
| hylian_ | smackmanic thats why if it's at all significant (more than one release) i do a fresh install. to many bugs in gapped distro updates | 06:02 |
| smackmanic | well, Derragon, that is usual info I was wondering, thanks | 06:02 |
| Derragon | hylian, What I'm thinking is that GRUB is still trying to load the old kernel, etc. He'd have to update GRUB with all of the information for the current version of Ubuntu, or do a fres reinstall. | 06:02 |
| smackmanic | hylian_, my other...ubuntu...updates so nicely | 06:02 |
| ridin | ZykoticK9, just sudo apt-get -f install? | 06:02 |
| MaRk-I | hylian_: hey dont worry, just that we offered help and instead of trying they just rant and cry | 06:02 |
| smackmanic | =( | 06:02 |
| timon | anyone here familiar with the use of awk command. | 06:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | ridin, yup "sudo apt-get -f install" | 06:02 |
| toolbear | say, would someone be able to offer their interpretation of this (chroot problem) http://paste.linuxassist.net/215387 ? | 06:02 |
| hylian_ | MaRk-I: understood, thanx. | 06:03 |
| smackmanic | what Im thinking is I have 3 different forum posts with the same fix that doesnt require updating grub just yet | 06:03 |
| chilli0 | DasEi, So basicly I have to change the perms of the files to 777? | 06:03 |
| smackmanic | however grub update is manual in ubuntu, so even so, i would update..reboot..grub needs to be updated but grub won't boot anything...so that actually makes no sense to me | 06:03 |
| magnesium | no one here uses RAID? | 06:03 |
| === tensorpu1ding is now known as tensorpudding | ||

| smackmanic | now i just need to figure out how to make absolutely sure im root using grub so that I'll know the error msgs arent bogus | 06:04 |
| smackmanic | all about ruling things out | 06:04 |
| ridin | ZykoticK9: http://pastebin.com/MTSDm5zL | 06:04 |
| magnesium | Planning on installing Ubuntu Server to a 15,000 rpm SCSI drive | 06:04 |
| hylian_ | smackmanic this is totally not the right way to fix this, but, can you uninstall via apt-get and reinstall grub? | 06:04 |
| magnesium | and then setting up a RAID 5 array with 4 250 GB drives | 06:05 |
| Derragon | smackmanic, You should have some form of GRUB's emergency command-line called grub-rescue. Do you get anything like that? | 06:05 |
| smackmanic | hylian_ not without livecd/usb | 06:05 |
| toolbear | magnesium: ah, thanks. i've always wondered why people used raid | 06:05 |
| smackmanic | unless im mistaken | 06:05 |
| ZykoticK9 | ridin, doesn't show any broken packages! try "sudo apt-get install indicator-sound" again | 06:05 |
| smackmanic | Derragon, you're the first person who's mentioned that to me | 06:05 |
| Speiros | I don't seem to be able to initialise a twin pack cd game on my system. I am using Ubuntu 10.0.4, and don't know how to install once the prompt comes for the second cd. | 06:06 |
| hylian_ | smackmanic i think Derragon is onto something | 06:06 |
| smackmanic | im willing to give it a go before i start randomly trying to fix teh boot options again | 06:06 |
| Derragon | smackmanic, I'm not sure if your GRUB was updated to GRUB2, so, you might or might not have grub-rescue. It's a command line built into GRUB if it fails. | 06:06 |
| magnesium | toolbear: Yeah, It's going to be for ftp and lamp, so I'm letting the OS run from the 15000 rpm drive and then people can put all their crap on the RAID array. | 06:06 |
| ridin | ZykoticK9: indicator-applet is already the newest version. | 06:06 |
| smackmanic | grub is updated manually in ubuntu | 06:06 |
| smackmanic | the updates do not update grub | 06:06 |

| ZykoticK9 | ridin, indicator-applet or indicator-sound? | 06:07 |
| Derragon | smackmanic, Considering that you are unable to boot, I would assume that GRUB still has a way to fix itself. Or, you can reinstall GRUB to the hard drive via the Live USB/CD. | 06:07 |
| fangcheng | hello | 06:07 |
| smackmanic | so I don't know what ver exactly I have, but I'm positive it's not 2 | 06:07 |
| ridin | ZykoticK9, the sound icon that comes with indicator applet | 06:07 |
| hylian_ | i love how all the grub fixes listed online assume you have a ubuntu cd lying around. | 06:07 |
| Derragon | smackmanic, The GRUB installer is built onto all Ubuntu distributions (as far as I know), so you should be able to just reinstall GRUB via that CD/USB. | 06:07 |
| smackmanic | hylian_: yah like busybox is so helpful too | 06:07 |
| tripelb | the daily show videos quit working. chrome audio keeps ditching. what a keen system. the project that never ends. | 06:07 |
| jerald | hello guys.. can you help me how can I change my screen resolution to 1920×1200 | 06:07 |
| ZykoticK9 | ridin, i thought you said indicator-sound wasn't installed on your system. | 06:07 |
| magnesium | so no one else here has a RAID array? | 06:08 |
| dustin | waitt!! | 06:08 |
| tripelb | jrald I've been trying to get help on that for weeks | 06:08 |
| dustin | do do nothin | 06:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | ridin, "apt-cache policy indicator-sound" should show an installed version | 06:08 |
| Speiros | hylian: What system do you know of that doesn't require it like so? | 06:08 |
| ridin | ZykoticK9, i said the sound-icon wasn't appearing when i added the indicator applet | 06:08 |
| smackmanic | Derragon, so basically the older grub doesnt have the emergency/rescue line | 06:08 |
| vhyzi | a | 06:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | ridin, "Installed: 0.2.3-0ubuntu1" | 06:08 |
| dustin | recover line when you reboot? | 06:08 |
| Derragon | smackmanic, As far as I know, no. However since you are online I assume you are able to make a live CD/USB. | 06:08 |
| hylian_ | how do you fix grub without a live cd? | 06:08 |
| MaRk-I | !raid | 06:09 |
| ubottu | Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 06:09 |
| jerald | tripelb, hahaha.. so any luck? | 06:09 |
| Derragon | hylian_, unless you have another version of Ubuntu or something installed on the same computer, as far as I know... you can't. | 06:09 |
| ridin | ZykoticK9: Installed: (none) Candidate: 0.2.3-0ubuntu1 | 06:09 |
| Lym | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick is really confusing, im doing the bottom part where you do it all manually and it just says "Next, you open up the ISO file and extract the files in casper directory. The size (and possibly manifest) are needed if you want to install from the USB drive otherwise the install will error out." but doesn't specify where to put the files, what they mean necessarily by extracting, | 06:09 |
| Lym | etc | 06:09 |
| ZykoticK9 | ridin, right it's NOT installed on your system - just install it. | 06:09 |
| ZykoticK9 | ridin, good luck. | 06:09 |
| smackmanic | Derragon: you'd be wrong but I understand the assumption. I would also assume it for someone else. | 06:09 |
| chilli0 | DasEi, How can I samba to give guest access to read , write , list , delete and everything? | 06:10 |
| magnesium | thx MaRk-I | 06:10 |
| ridin | ZykoticK9, it says i have broken packages just like the first pastebin, i mean exactly | 06:10 |
| smackmanic | the issue is that i have at least 3 posts I've found that list the same fix | 06:10 |
| jerald | did anyone already know how to change screen reslolution | 06:10 |
| hylian_ | Derragon thanks. thats too bad. smackmanic doesnt have a live cd. | 06:10 |
| MaRk-I | Lym: why dont you try with unetbootin instead? | 06:10 |
| aaaa | hi all | 06:10 |
| smackmanic | I believe I'm just doing it wrong | 06:10 |
| aaaa | chown -R myusername folder | 06:10 |
| aaaa | it says permsision denied | 06:10 |
| aaaa | why? | 06:10 |
| smackmanic | so I need to figure grub out basically.....guess we're gonna go with hd0,1 instead of 0,4 | 06:10 |
| MaRk-I | magnesium: yw and sorry I dont use raid :P | 06:10 |
| Derragon | smackmanic, Have you considered putting the hard drive containing the affected installation into another computer and fixing it fmo th | 06:10 |
| BentFranklin | what is the apt command to show all packages I have already installed? | 06:11 |
| smackmanic | ........ | 06:11 |
| jerald | guys.. I want a 1920×1200 resolution in my netbook | 06:11 |
| Derragon | smackmanic, Damn this netbook... fixing it from a computer you are able to boot to? | 06:11 |
| bazhang | BentFranklin, dpkg -l | 06:11 |
| aaaa | hello? | 06:11 |
| Lym | MaRk-I, i dont know what that is and the connection im on is PAINFULLY slow | 06:11 |
| smackmanic | Derragon: if i had another machine around here.... | 06:11 |
| magnesium | MaRk-I: Yeah most people don't :P I've gotten used to emptyness when asking about it | 06:11 |
| smackmanic | I'd hook up the ethernet cable | 06:11 |
| dustin | smackmanic, do you have flash drivers? | 06:11 |
| smackmanic | and download the liveusb. | 06:11 |
| smackmanic | heh | 06:11 |
| MaRk-I | Lym: but you already have the .iso dont you? | 06:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | ridin, can you install libido-0.1-0 | 06:11 |
| giov | What do I need to install into a basic KUbuntu system to make & make install a wifi driver, regarding Kernel source? - anyone have a url with info on that? thanks | 06:11 |
| smackmanic | so no live, no testy on other machine | 06:12 |
| Derragon | smackmanic, I am confused... how are you online? | 06:12 |
| hylian_ | smackmanic, i think you have grub, not grub 2. you should boot into grub rescue, not busybox... | 06:12 |
| Lym | MaRk-I, yes | 06:12 |
| smackmanic | just grub boot editing | 06:12 |
| MaRk-I | !unetbootin | Lym | 06:12 |
| ubottu | Lym: 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 | 06:12 |
| dustin | usb flash drives? | 06:12 |
| smackmanic | windows, i have a partition on this machine | 06:12 |
| Speiros | Is there a chat page that is more specific to my needs? | 06:12 |
| ridin | ZykoticK9: libido-0.1-0 is already the newest version. libido-0.1-0 set to manually installed. | 06:12 |
| Mr_Sonoma | giov: you building from source code? if so sudo apt-get install buildessential | 06:12 |
| antonio_ | hey all | 06:12 |
| bazhang | giov, unlikely you will need to compile it; at worst you would need to install the linux-backports-modules | 06:12 |
| smackmanic | Derragon: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1454385.html 2nd to last post is the fix | 06:12 |
| Derragon | smackmanic, Install Linux on your machine via Wubi installer, then use that linux install (which is virtual) to fix GRUB on that machine./ | 06:13 |
| magnesium | hey antonio_ | 06:13 |
| KwikkSilva | When theres a monitor plugged into my Dell 650 - 10.04 gives me a larger resolution - when its headless - it only gives me 800x600 over VNC.. anyone know that one? | 06:13 |
| MaRk-I | Lym: you're on windows at the moment? | 06:13 |
| Mr_Sonoma | !hi | antonio_ | 06:13 |
| ubottu | antonio_: 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! | 06:13 |
| smackmanic | I'm jsut trying to figure out what boot option I'm messing up...and also if grub is actually in root | 06:13 |
| giov | Mr_Sonoma: Iḿ following the instructins here: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=244215 , and | 06:13 |
| cozone1952 | hi could someone tell me how to put in the password in SU comand when ido i get permission denied help please | 06:13 |
| Lym | MaRk-I, no im using 9.10 | 06:13 |
| antonio_ | I'm trying to make a backup of some folders on my lappy...to an ext hd. Some files copied over, but a majority of them didn't. I think it has something to do with the permissions on the drive. I've tried a sudo naut to change the permissions of the drive...but its a no go | 06:13 |
| hylian_ | smackmanic can you get into windows? this is quite backwards, but with the ubuntu image and virtualbox, you can actually repair some things. ive done it before | 06:13 |
| smackmanic | Derragon: I don't have the space on here otherwise I'd get the liveusb on here. | 06:13 |
| bazhang | giov, thats for fedora | 06:13 |
| giov | and here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1455649 | 06:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | ridin, sorry man - i'm not sure what's up with your system, but it looks like it has something to do with that libido... whatever that is. sorry man, i have no idea - hope someone else has something for ya ;) good luck man. | 06:13 |
| ridin | ZykoticK9, i did xfce4-volumed which i have but nothing seemed to happen | 06:13 |
| smackmanic | I think there is a misunderstanding | 06:13 |
| smackmanic | I have a usb stick that could be used. I -dont- have the space. | 06:14 |
| Mr_Sonoma | cozone1952: use sudo, there is no root | 06:14 |
| ridin | ZykoticK9, i know there's a command to hide/show the icon, but i can't seem to remember it | 06:14 |
| smackmanic | and literally cannot uninstall enough to clear out | 06:14 |
| MaRk-I | Lym: just d/l the linux version make it executable http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 06:14 |
| Mr_Sonoma | !sudo | cozone1952 | 06:14 |
| ubottu | cozone1952: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 06:14 |
| Derragon | smackmanic, Man... I really don't see how you got yourself into that situation lol. But now I realize that, since GRUB is just pointing itself to the wrong partition/HDD. xD\ | 06:14 |
| ridin | ZykoticK9, but thanks anyways :p | 06:14 |
| cozone1952 | ok thanks | 06:14 |
| ridin | hmm, brb | 06:14 |
| antonio_ | anyone have any idea how I can change the permissions on this ext drive? | 06:14 |
| smackmanic | Derragon: yah... so it's a guessing game... do you know how I go root with grub? | 06:14 |
| MaRk-I | Lym: actually they have a .deb just download it | 06:14 |
| === lobo is now known as Guest29711 | ||
| hylian_ | why is menu.lst blank? i wanted to edit my grub, but it's blank? | 06:15 |
| tik | sudo chmod -R user:user * | 06:15 |
| smackmanic | i have a window open reading about grub and its prolly there but i have all this scrollback to read too | 06:15 |
| bazhang | hylian_, what version of ubuntu | 06:15 |
| Derragon | smackmanic, GRUB isn't attached to Ubuntu, so you don't need to be root. All you do is have to do is set the root. | 06:15 |
| hylian_ | bazhang 10,04 | 06:15 |
| bazhang | hylian_, its not there. check the grub2 wiki | 06:15 |
| Derragon | smackmanic, Which is, as far as I know, either your second or third partition. /dev/sda2 (or 3) | 06:15 |
| bazhang | !grub2 | hylian_ | 06:15 |
| ubottu | hylian_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 06:15 |
| smackmanic | Derragon: okay. well, basically i read that if its not, then the error msgs I get can be bogus | 06:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | antonio_, i'm not sure if this is going to help you or not BUT: you don't change permissions on drives, you change them on filesystem/mount points. | 06:16 |
| smackmanic | so I don't know which ones are bogus yet | 06:16 |
| hylian_ | bazhang, thanks, i guess thinkgs change faster than im usual on this os, will do ;) | 06:16 |
| dustin | smackmanic,do you have a copy of the iso? and which one is it 32 bit or 64 bit? | 06:16 |
| smackmanic | which makes the guessing game useless | 06:16 |
| antonio_ | zykotick9: can you tell me how to do that? | 06:16 |
| smackmanic | dustin, no iso talks, please. heh | 06:16 |
| cozone1952 | thanks Mr_sonoma | 06:16 |
| smackmanic | lemme read the scrollback | 06:16 |
| smackmanic | my head is spinning | 06:16 |
| Derragon | smackmanic, Well, you can try setting whatever has 'root=' in it to 'root=/dev/sda2 or 3. At this point, it's a guessing game. | 06:16 |
| aaaa | Derragon: | 06:16 |
| aaaa | hwo do i change chown? | 06:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | antonio_, where is it mounted? type "mount" in a terminal if you aren't sure. and are you sure it's EXT and not VFAT/NTFS? | 06:17 |
| aaaa | i can't do that | 06:17 |
| aaaa | permission denied | 06:17 |
| tik | did you sudo first? | 06:17 |
| minhthong | how to install open office? | 06:17 |
| Derragon | aaaa, He's not in Ubuntu. He's trying to boot into Ubuntu, which means he doesn't need to have permission. | 06:17 |
| hylian_ | aaaa, change chown? do you mean how do i use chown to change permissions? | 06:17 |
| antonio_ | it might not be ext zykotick9: | 06:17 |
| bazhang | mint, which version of ubuntu | 06:17 |
| minhthong | I have download openoffice already. But i don't know how tu install it | 06:17 |
| tik | sudo chown -R user:user * | 06:18 |
| Derragon | minhthing, sudo apt-get install openoffice.org\ | 06:18 |
| bazhang | err sorry mint minhthong which version of ubuntu | 06:18 |
| aaaa | drwxrwsr-x 18 areshkin gekcogrp 879 Jun 19 19:11 pubs_src | 06:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | antonio_, "mount" would show you. if it's not ext i can't help... | 06:18 |
| tik | where user:user is your login | 06:18 |
| aaaa | hey hylian_ Derragon | 06:18 |
| Derragon | minhthing, Without the slash of course. | 06:18 |
| minhthong | thanks | 06:18 |
| MaRk-I | minhthong: go to software center, search openoffice, click install | 06:18 |
| aaaa | there are three set of "xxx"xxx"xxx | 06:18 |
| smackmanic | Derragon: okay..so..ubuntu was installed second...so we're gonna go with hd0,1 I believe? | 06:18 |
| aaaa | what does the last one mean? | 06:18 |
| antonio_ | zykotick9: if it wasn't ext would I have been able to add stuff to the drive at all? | 06:18 |
| tik | everyone can read write and excute | 06:18 |
| Derragon | smackmanic, /dev/sda1. Ubuntu doesn't work like Windows in that sense. | 06:18 |
| smackmanic | now...with that being ..uhh my head hurts. could someone find me an example of the boot? | 06:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | antonio_, yes... | 06:19 |
| Mr_Sonoma | minhthong: sudo apt-get install openoffice | 06:19 |
| smackmanic | Derragon, okay, so I WOULD erase HD | 06:19 |
| antonio_ | zykotick9: its a vfat | 06:19 |
| hylian_ | smackmanic not neccessarily, i have 2 hard drives, with multiple partitions, non of which are hd0. all of which are sda, sdb. | 06:19 |
| Firstgear | anybody know how to align left the title bar text on window frames?? | 06:19 |
| Firstgear | in Gnome | 06:19 |
| cozone1952 | thanks everyone | 06:19 |
| Derragon | smackmanic, Well, no. Changing the root thing is just changing where GRUB will look to grab the boot information. | 06:19 |
| tik | hylian_: that is because they are SCSI and not IDE no? | 06:19 |
| dustin | is there a lunix that will recover my data, if i cant boot up? | 06:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | antonio_, sorry i can't help with that. good luck. | 06:19 |
| smackmanic | now im a bit more confused | 06:19 |
| smackmanic | sorry guys I haven't slept in a little over 48 hrs | 06:19 |
| smackmanic | running low on brain energy | 06:20 |
| hylian_ | tik actually one is sata and one is ata. | 06:20 |
| antonio_ | zykotick9: just you...or is this something that can't be done? | 06:20 |
| johnconfey | ........ | 06:20 |
| tik | dustin: any livecd.. i recommend DSL | 06:20 |
| aaaa | Derragon: | 06:20 |
| hasek79 | how do you get the dvd player to work so i can paly dvd movies? | 06:20 |
| chilli0 | Can some one please help me before I kill my self. This stupid samba has retarded perms. I have set mask to 777 but still I can frking open the files./ | 06:20 |
| smackmanic | I do know for sure that it was SD something before it got effed | 06:20 |
| tik | thats what i ment sata not SCSI | 06:20 |
| Derragon | smackmanic, As far as I know, when you updated Ubuntu, the GRUB got a little bugged and is looking to the wrong place to boot up from. Changing root= will make GRUB boot from where you tell it to. Kinda' like with the Windows XP bootloader's thing. | 06:20 |
| bazhang | !dvd > hasek79 | 06:20 |
| ubottu | hasek79, please see my private message | 06:20 |
| smackmanic | so sd2 would be most likely for a second partition? | 06:20 |
| Mr_Sonoma | hasek79: sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 | 06:20 |
| dustin | tik thanks going to check it out | 06:20 |
| bazhang | Mr_Sonoma, he needs medibuntu for that | 06:21 |
| Derragon | smackmanic, /dev/sda2 or something should be it, yes. I'm positive it's /dev/sd something. | 06:21 |
| hylian_ | tik, actually, for some strange reason ubuntu refers to them as scsi in several places, although non of them are, i dont try and figure out ubuntu any more, i just go with the flow | 06:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | antonio_, VFAT is microsoft - i don't help with MS compatibility issues (i don't use any MS myself). VFAT cannot use any linux permissions at all, and the permissions on the drive are determined by the mount command used. Best of luck. | 06:21 |
| Mr_Sonoma | bazhang: DOH! forgot that | 06:21 |
| antonio_ | hmm.... | 06:21 |
| bazhang | the !dvd has it though | 06:21 |
| antonio_ | this stinks | 06:21 |
| tik | hahahah | 06:21 |
| smackmanic | Derragon: I strongly believe it's 2 or 5, and im leaning towards to but for whatever reason it lists hd0,4 right now. not sure if that was me or a bug or it's correct | 06:22 |
| antonio_ | does anyone have any idea how to change permissions on a vfat formatted drive with ubuntu? | 06:22 |
| hylian_ | anyone have any idea on why android on virtualbox would make ubuntu (the host) hang? | 06:22 |
| smackmanic | and someone said hd 4 would be sd 4 | 06:22 |
| smackmanic | *5 | 06:22 |
| sweetpi | chilli0: you want a samba share that allows anyone to add/remove files? | 06:22 |
| smackmanic | but i believe it's 2. 2 sounds more fam (I dont use this machine a lot) | 06:22 |
| bazhang | antonio_, vfat has no permissions | 06:22 |
| smackmanic | okay...so....i would edit the hd line? sorry I think I asked this a sec ago.... | 06:22 |
| chilli0 | sweetpi, That's what I did say. | 06:22 |
| Derragon | smackmanic, Well, since you're still in Windows, it's going to show it how Windows shows it. Unless you have already pressed e to get into where you need to be, it's not going to show you how GRUB shows it. | 06:23 |
| smackmanic | otherwise it looks like i'd have two root lines. but I'm not sure | 06:23 |
| antonio_ | bazhang: so am I kind of screwed then? | 06:23 |
| bazhang | antonio_, care to recap? I missed the earlier bit | 06:23 |
| smackmanic | Derragon: i've been regularly restarting it and going into edit | 06:23 |
| sweetpi | chilli0: just making sure, i havent been paying attention | 06:23 |
| antonio_ | well | 06:23 |
| chilli0 | sweetpi, Ok , so you know how? | 06:23 |
| chilli0 | I have set the mask to 777. | 06:23 |
| sweetpi | chilli0: yes | 06:23 |
| minhthong | how can i have the help of Ubuntu Vietnam? | 06:23 |
| smackmanic | Derragon: suspisious that it's returning bogus errors because it's set root | 06:23 |
| chilli0 | =D | 06:23 |
| smackmanic | so.......okay, gottta try to condense this now | 06:24 |
| antonio_ | I'm trying to make a backup of certain folders (home etc and usr) because this lappy is totally wrecked (screen cracked)... | 06:24 |
| bazhang | minhthong, /join #ubuntu-vn | 06:24 |
| MaRk-I | !vn | minhthong | 06:24 |
| ubottu | minhthong: Để được trợ giúp về Ubuntu bằng ngôn ngữ Việt, xin vui lòng /join #ubuntu-vn. Rất vui lòng được giúp đỡ | 06:24 |
| antonio_ | I used luckbackup to try to backup the stuff...was getting errors..some of them about chown...etc | 06:24 |
| sweetpi | chilli0: pastebin your smb.conf, and the permissions that are on the directory you want to share | 06:24 |
| Derragon | smackmanic, Well... I'd help, but I do need to get going right now. Sorry. | 06:24 |
| aaaa | hello?? | 06:24 |
| aaaa | anyone here? | 06:24 |
| smackmanic | haha..perfect timing | 06:24 |
| chilli0 | How can I show the perms from cli? | 06:24 |
| smackmanic | Derragon: appreciate the piece about the numbers not being updated tho | 06:24 |
| smackmanic | was worried | 06:24 |
| hasek79 | aslo how do i make myself the owner or the system | 06:25 |
| hylian_ | smackmanic "SCSI or SATA or USB drives will be designated "sda", "sdb", "sdc" and so on." although my eide (ata) is listed as sdb1. | 06:25 |
| Derragon | smackmanic, No kidding... I'm working on my netbook right now with its install, adding some things and such. | 06:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | chilli0, "ls -l" that's an L ;) | 06:25 |
| hasek79 | i am the admin but im not the owner | 06:25 |
| sweetpi | chilli0: ls -ald pathtodirectory | 06:25 |
| smackmanic | hylian_ positive it's sda....and almost as positive it's 2 | 06:25 |
| ridin | ZykoticK9, i got the sound icon to appear! | 06:25 |
| chilli0 | sweetpi, smb config http://pastebin.com/He2e8MGS | 06:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | ridin, what was it? | 06:26 |
| Derragon | smackmanic, But, best of luck to you. Hope you get it working. | 06:26 |
| smackmanic | so..anyway...how do I set the root again? I'm assuming I go into the grub commandline | 06:26 |
| smackmanic | Derragon: I will. one way or another. rm -rf peace bro | 06:26 |
| ridin | alt + f2 gnome-volume-control-applet | 06:26 |
| Derragon | smackmanic, Entering the edit part of GRUB via pressing 'e' during boot. Should be able to edit it from there. | 06:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | ridin, that's the old version... just sayin' | 06:26 |
| smackmanic | what was the command again? | 06:26 |
| antonio_ | bazhang: any idea how I can actually backup everything I need...my backup drive is a vfat | 06:26 |
| smackmanic | sorry I know you already answered..so did hylian_ | 06:26 |
| ridin | ZykoticK9: :( | 06:26 |
| smackmanic | info overload | 06:26 |
| chilli0 | sweetpi, drwxrwxrwx 1 media root 81920 2010-07-28 23:20 , /media/media/Movies drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2010-07-31 03:38 /home/media/Music | 06:27 |
| smackmanic | setting the root is going to be the most important part heh | 06:27 |
| Derragon | smackmanic, Well, you should be getting something that shows you all of the entries or something... I don't know, I never got into it until I was already using GRUB2. Sorry.\ | 06:27 |
| dustin | can anyone tell me whats wrong with smackmanic, computer? | 06:27 |
| chilli0 | Music shares works fine, the other one doesnt. | 06:27 |
| ridin | ZykoticK9, it's default on start-up, so... | 06:27 |
| aaaa | hey dude | 06:27 |
| skumara | i need to know whats the different with ubuntu 32bit and 64bit. I got AMD turion 64x2 in my laptop. Why in the ubuntu download page 64bit in not recommended for daily desktop usage? | 06:27 |
| redvil | has anyone here tried recording a video using a webcam in linux? | 06:27 |
| smackmanic | Derragon: already, well, thats what google is for | 06:27 |
| smackmanic | dustin: we'll get it figured out, im certain its a guessing game after I set the root =) | 06:27 |
| Lym | MaRk-I, is it supposed to get stuck at 5% for a while? | 06:28 |
| antonio_ | skumara: someone mentioned to me something along the lines of flash not working too well on 64 bit... | 06:28 |
| bazhang | antonio_, flash stick or actual usb hdd | 06:28 |
| Derragon | skumara, Most of the people don't have over 4GB of RAM, which is the maximum about 32-bit systems support. if your laptop has over 4GB of RAM, use 64-bit because it supports it. Bye. | 06:28 |
| antonio_ | 500 gig usb hdd | 06:28 |
| bazhang | redvil, tried camorama? | 06:28 |
| bazhang | antonio_, why vfat for that and not ntfs? | 06:28 |
| redvil | bazhang: thnx..i will look into it | 06:28 |
| skumara | derragon i have just 4GB RAM | 06:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | skumara, personally i think the "not recommended" on the web site is a bug - and look it's already filed as one ;) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website-content/+bug/585940 | 06:28 |
| hylian_ | smackmanic this should get you to be root, (you just arent chaging the root password): http://www.debuntu.org/recover-root-password-single-user-mode-and-grub | 06:28 |
| antonio_ | I think it came formatted like that..never changed it | 06:29 |
| MaRk-I | Lym: depends on the USB but yes looks like it gets stuck for a bit | 06:29 |
| aaaa | hey MaRk-I | 06:29 |
| aaaa | you here? | 06:29 |
| aaaa | i can't do chmod | 06:29 |
| aaaa | why | 06:29 |
| redvil | bazhang: it says it only captures still images? | 06:29 |
| aaaa | tell me dude | 06:29 |
| bazhang | antonio_, well vfat has file size limitations of 4GB iirc | 06:29 |
| FloodBot1 | aaaa: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:29 |
| sweetpi | chilli0: and what are the permissions on a file you cant open? | 06:29 |
| aaaa | bazhang: | 06:29 |
| antonio_ | ah that I can only xfer 4gbs at a time? | 06:29 |
| smackmanic | hylian_: thanks hylian_, swear my brain is getting sketchy | 06:30 |
| hylian_ | aaaa you might have to sudo chmod. | 06:30 |
| aaaa | sweetpi: i can't "chmod" | 06:30 |
| aaaa | why hylian_ | 06:30 |
| chilli0 | sweetpi, The whole thing is retarded. On music I can't add files but I can remove. | 06:30 |
| SwedeMike | !details | aaaa | 06:30 |
| ubottu | aaaa: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 06:30 |
| hasek79 | ive tried to add a new folder to my desktop pictures folder and it says i cant b/c im not the owner. how do i make myself the owner??? | 06:30 |
| smackmanic | i have to actually type this url out..or this java bs will crash lol | 06:30 |
| redvil | anyone here knows a app for making videos with webcam? | 06:30 |
| bazhang | redvil, perhaps I misread your question; did you wish to record your desktop or capture video through your webcam | 06:30 |
| antonio_ | redvil: try cheese | 06:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | aaaa, what filesystem are you using? you can't chmod on any windows NTFS/FAT filesystems. | 06:30 |
| aaaa | chmod: WARNING: can't change pubs_src | 06:31 |
| aaaa | i'm on linux | 06:31 |
| aaaa | i can't chmod ZykoticK9 | 06:31 |
| antonio_ | redvil: go and download cheese..works great | 06:31 |
| redvil | bazhang: i wanted to record video using my webcam. | 06:31 |
| aaaa | pubs_src is a folder | 06:31 |
| tik | try sud first | 06:31 |
| tik | sudo | 06:31 |
| antonio_ | devil: go and download cheese | 06:31 |
| bazhang | !enter | aaaa | 06:31 |
| ubottu | aaaa: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 06:31 |
| redvil | antonio_: thnx..i will try that one | 06:31 |
| aaaa | ok bazhang | 06:31 |
| aaaa | ZykoticK9: any clue? | 06:31 |
| antonio_ | bazhang: you were saying...theres a 4gig limit..is that being only able to xfer 4 gigs at a time.. | 06:32 |
| hylian_ | aaaa what they mean is are you chmod'ing on a ntfs, a ext4, etc. are you on ubuntu's drive or are you trying to do this on windows drive? | 06:32 |
| tik | dud you try sudo chmod a+r dir ? | 06:32 |
| aaaa | Sorry, user "username" is not allowed to execute '/usr/bin/chmod 777 pubs_src' as root on shay.ecn.purdue.edu. | 06:32 |
| shell-fu | how do i figure out the host name? | 06:32 |
| antonio_ | or a max size on a vfag drive of 4gigs? | 06:32 |
| === Guest86027 is now known as Iqbal | ||
| aaaa | i'm on linux | 06:32 |
| aaaa | hylian_: | 06:32 |
| tik | you can chmod on ntfs... | 06:32 |
| bazhang | antonio_, I was unclear, 4GB file size not transfer | 06:32 |
| aaaa | tik what you mean? | 06:32 |
| antonio_ | frick... | 06:32 |
| hasek79 | im guessing no one knows then???? | 06:32 |
| aaaa | i don't own the folder | 06:32 |
| redvil | antonio_: have u tried CHEESE? does it save video in .avi format? | 06:33 |
| antonio_ | bazhang: so each file can be no bigger than 4gb right? | 06:33 |
| aaaa | someone has the ownership of that folder | 06:33 |
| sweetpi | chilli0: so your only problem is you cant add files? | 06:33 |
| bazhang | antonio_, yep | 06:33 |
| jc1 | Which is better ubuntu 9.10 or 10.04?? | 06:33 |
| hylian_ | aaaa what they are asking is not what os you are on, but what format the hard drive is where you have your files saved. is it a windows drive? did you format it when you installed ubuntu? | 06:33 |
| tik | sudo chmod a+r dir | 06:33 |
| bazhang | jc1, get the more recent version | 06:33 |
| aaaa | hey hylian_ | 06:33 |
| bareego | hasek79, chown | 06:33 |
| aaaa | i am newbie to linux | 06:33 |
| shell-fu | how do i figure out the host name for a network configuration menu?? | 06:33 |
| aaaa | how do i check? | 06:33 |
| tik | for all read access | 06:33 |
| MaRk-I | aaaa: you cant chmod files/folders on a server that isnt yours | 06:33 |
| chilli0 | sweetpi, No. I can't play the movies. Music just cant add new files. | 06:33 |
| aaaa | it's a server | 06:33 |
| antonio_ | bazhang: do you know of any kind of backup program that will backup everything..and when it comes to a file that is larger than 4 gigs, it will split it up...then rejoin it later? | 06:33 |
| hasek79 | i cant add a folder so i can d/l pics to put in it | 06:34 |
| smackmanic | jc1: if you're updating have a livecd on hand!!! =p | 06:34 |
| bazhang | aaaa, please stop with the enter key | 06:34 |
| aaaa | hey MaRk-I | 06:34 |
| sweetpi | chilli0: what are the permissions on movie file you cant play? | 06:34 |
| aaaa | only the one who creates the folder can set the permission? | 06:34 |
| tik | no | 06:34 |
| chilli0 | sweetpi, Ill see. | 06:34 |
| tik | root can set it too | 06:34 |
| aaaa | i don't have root | 06:34 |
| tik | o | 06:34 |
| aaaa | except root,who can set it? | 06:34 |
| MaRk-I | aaaa: that's not ubuntu specific problem, ask your university for permissions (which I doubt they do?) | 06:34 |
| antonio_ | redvil: not sure what format it saves in..check it out....then see if you can export it to a format you can use..or a format that you can change/convert | 06:34 |
| tik | the owner | 06:35 |
| aaaa | hey MaRk-I | 06:35 |
| bazhang | antonio_, not sure of your situation; the drive in question can be reformatted? | 06:35 |
| chilli0 | sweetpi, There is about 300-400 movies. -rw------- 1 root root 1520173056 2009-12-12 00:40 /media/media/Movies/assignmnet.avi | 06:35 |
| redvil | antonio_: ok..thanks again | 06:35 |
| null | Question: Are there any known issues with the icons in the notifybar/taskbar becoming invisible? I'm experiencing it regularly on 2 different machines. | 06:35 |
| hylian_ | aaaa sudo makes you root, unless this server isnt yours. in which case if it is yours, your password would do it. | 06:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | chilli0, only root can read that assignment.avi file! | 06:35 |
| bazhang | hasek79, you should be the owner | 06:35 |
| sweetpi | chilli0: chmod -R a+r /media/media/Movies | 06:35 |
| antonio_ | bazhang: maybe..got to xfer a ton of things to the new lappy.. | 06:35 |
| jc1 | bazhang I used to have the 9.04 but I think the karmic was worse than 9.04 (because I can't change the GDM on karmic and another troubles that I had...) | 06:35 |
| antonio_ | guess I'll try that :( | 06:35 |
| hasek79 | but im not | 06:35 |
| chilli0 | sweetpi, chmod: changing permissions of `/media/media/Movies/assigmnet.avi': Operation not permitted | 06:36 |
| bazhang | hasek79, this is not your computer then? | 06:36 |
| sweetpi | chilli0: ah.. ntfs? | 06:36 |
| hasek79 | but it is | 06:36 |
| ZykoticK9 | chilli0, use sudo | 06:36 |
| chilli0 | Yeah. | 06:36 |
| antonio_ | bazhang: if I copy everything over to my new lappy...then format the drive...I can put all of the files on there without any kind of problem, right? | 06:36 |
| hasek79 | there is only 1 user on it and its me | 06:36 |
| sweetpi | chilli0: paste your fstab entry | 06:36 |
| bazhang | hasek79, are your permissions somehow messed up? | 06:36 |
| jibis | Bonjour tout le monde | 06:36 |
| MaRk-I | chilli0: if I'm not mistaken you have to add users to the samba conf... http://www.bunkerhollow.com/blogs/matt/archive/2010/07/17/ubuntu-10-04-samba-file-share-configuration.aspx | 06:36 |
| hasek79 | idk and idk how to fix them | 06:36 |
| ZykoticK9 | !fr | jibis | 06:37 |
| ubottu | jibis: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. | 06:37 |
| bazhang | jibis, english here please; french in #ubuntu-fr | 06:37 |
| jc1 | bazhang and potuguese?? | 06:37 |
| hylian_ | i know this is dangerous, but i wuld love a linux distro where the end user has permissions to everything automatically. but the it would be called lindows, right? | 06:37 |
| chilli0 | sweetpi, /dev/sdb1 /media/media ntfs user,auto 0 0 | 06:37 |
| jibis | thank you | 06:37 |
| bazhang | jc1, #ubuntu-pt or #ubuntu-br | 06:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | chilli0, you can't apply linux permission to ntfs file systems | 06:38 |
| jc1 | bazhang are you using ubuntu 10.04?? | 06:38 |
| sweetpi | chilli0: close anything accessing /media/media and unmount it | 06:38 |
| bazhang | jc1, yep | 06:38 |
| chilli0 | ZykoticK9, Even If it's mounted the way I have done it? | 06:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | chilli0, if it's ntfs it won't work! | 06:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | chilli0, not with chmod | 06:38 |
| jc1 | bazhang is it easy to change the box login?? | 06:38 |
| sweetpi | chilli0: change fstab to say "user,auto,umask=022" | 06:38 |
| hylian_ | chilli0 have you installed ntfs-config? | 06:39 |
| sweetpi | chilli0: then mount again | 06:39 |
| bazhang | jc1, the gdm2 greeter? not really, but not an issue as that is on for just a couple of seconds | 06:39 |
| chilli0 | sweetpi, Anyway to force unmount it? | 06:40 |
| sweetpi | chilli0: yes, but dont. maybe stop samba? | 06:41 |
| jc1 | bazhang I'm installing 9.04 on my pc... | 06:41 |
| smackmanic | ey hylian...this seems backwards...wants me to set all the boot info correctly before i set the root...? | 06:41 |
| smackmanic | hylian_: nevermind, missed one sentence | 06:41 |
| chilli0 | Still busy sweetpi | 06:41 |
| smackmanic | damn, so basically go to recovery mode.. | 06:42 |
| hylian_ | smackmanic um, what exactly do you mean? i cant see your current set up, so i wuld suggest currently doing what your gut says to do. | 06:42 |
| sweetpi | chilli0: lsof | grep /media/media | 06:42 |
| hylian_ | i would love a "my kernel is tainted" t-shirt. | 06:42 |
| smackmanic | hylian_nah I missed a sentence disregard the statement about it being backwards. or question rather | 06:42 |
| smackmanic | yes, yes | 06:42 |
| jc1 | bazhang I have the 10.04 but even the live session I tried...but I'll try later | 06:42 |
| chilli0 | sweetpi, I got 4 entry's , Bash , lsof grep and lsof. | 06:42 |
| * smackmanic breathes | 06:43 | |
| smackmanic | so recov mode...then guessing game | 06:43 |
| hylian_ | smackmanic how do you emote in irc? i just type | 06:43 |
| sweetpi | chilli0: ok, you have a shell in the directory. cd / | 06:43 |
| smackmanic | type /me | 06:43 |
| chilli0 | sweetpi, Done =P | 06:43 |
| smackmanic | followed by the txt | 06:43 |
| bazhang | jc1, issue with live cd you could try the alternate cd | 06:44 |
| chilli0 | okay remounted. sweetpi | 06:44 |
| sweetpi | chilli0: ok check permission on file again | 06:44 |
| * hylian_ is crossing his fingers for smackmanic | 06:44 | |
| smackmanic | hylian_ my concern now here is....the fix says to edit the root= entry....my root= entry is the one with hd0,4 right now...am i actually erasing the hd part out and replacing it with /dev/sda2 (or whatever mine might be) ? | 06:44 |
| chilli0 | -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1520173056 2009-12-12 00:40 /media/media/Movies/assignment.avi | 06:44 |
| sweetpi | chilli0: ok now you should be able to play the movie | 06:45 |
| smackmanic | or do I have two root=lines....i didnt quite grasp it earlier when D explained | 06:45 |
| chilli0 | I shall see. | 06:45 |
| chilli0 | Gotta restart samba. | 06:45 |
| hylian_ | smackmanic yes. i think for two reasons, one, 8.04 is grub, 10.04 is grub2. and secondly, ubuntu probably didnt label it hdo,4. as a matter of fact i know it didnt. if anything, ubuntu would have named hd0,4 to hd5. | 06:46 |
| jc1 | bazhang I use to save the image on DVD and when I need to install I create a pendrive boot... | 06:46 |
| chilli0 | sweetpi, Thanks so much. Now should I be able to add new files there also? | 06:46 |
| smackmanic | im gonna give it a go | 06:46 |
| hylian_ | smackmanic, or sda5, 1 etc, if this is a sata drive | 06:46 |
| mifadir | hi | 06:46 |
| smackmanic | hylian_, I recall it being sda something...but | 06:47 |
| mifadir | if ubuntu's configured like router must i use direct cable or corossover | 06:47 |
| mifadir | ? | 06:47 |
| mifadir | ? | 06:47 |
| FloodBot1 | mifadir: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:47 |
| smackmanic | windows could tell me yah? under sys info maybe | 06:47 |
| smackmanic | i wanna be sure | 06:47 |
| smackmanic | ill check sys info out now... | 06:47 |
| hylian_ | smackmanic that sounds right. my drives are sda1 and sdb2 respectively, b being my slave | 06:47 |
| mifadir | any one know answer? | 06:47 |
| bareego | chilli0, don't think so | 06:47 |
| chilli0 | sweetpi, That's almost all perfect. If I add a new folder with a file it in. It doesn't work. It sets the permitions to owner nobody. | 06:48 |
| hylian_ | mifadir how are you configuring ubuntu as a router? did you mean a firewall? | 06:48 |
| jc1 | mifadir...no | 06:48 |
| mifadir | forwarding | 06:48 |
| sweetpi | chilli0: one sec i forget the umask | 06:48 |
| mifadir | router does not mear firewall? | 06:49 |
| jc1 | mifadir depends...at first do you have any other pc running with another OS? | 06:50 |
| hylian_ | mifadir router's and firewall's are not the same thing. a router dishes out net to other machines, a firewall blocks dangerous ports. most routers have a built in software firewall. | 06:50 |
| sweetpi | chilli0: oh, i think its 000 for world write | 06:50 |
| chilli0 | sweetpi, So get rid of umask=025 or what ever it is? | 06:50 |
| smackmanic | this is useful info if you can convert it for me | 06:50 |
| sweetpi | chilli0: i forgot umask takes away permissions | 06:50 |
| mifadir | i know that hylian | 06:51 |
| sweetpi | chilli0: just change to umask=000 | 06:51 |
| smackmanic | in sys info, my linux partition is disk 0 partion 1 | 06:51 |
| smackmanic | *partition | 06:51 |
| hylian_ | smackmainc sda1 sounds right. sda is a sata drive, 1st partition. sdb1 is the slave, first partition. | 06:51 |
| jerald | I'm still looking for 1920×1200 resolution | 06:51 |
| jerald | still no luck.. | 06:51 |
| sweetpi | chilli0: make sure to remount | 06:52 |
| smackmanic | hylian_: appreciate it, hopefully i wont have anymore more questions about this tonite..we'll see in a few | 06:52 |
| smackmanic | brb | 06:52 |
| hylian_ | crossing the fingers for ya man | 06:52 |
| chilli0 | sweetpi, Restarting now ( the whole server ) | 06:52 |
| smackmanic | ;) | 06:52 |
| hylian_ | mifadir ohh, sorry. maybe i dont undertsand the question...? | 06:53 |
| sweetpi | chilli0: you only needed to umount/mount | 06:53 |
| jerald | How can I see what's my mac address of my laptop? | 06:53 |
| SwedeMike | jerald: ifconfig shows that. | 06:53 |
| robbiethe1st | Question: I have a 640GB drive, one of three in my machine. I have three partitions on each of them. Recently, the second drive, /dev/sdb stopped showing partitions. I see /dev/sda1-3, but not /dev/sdb1-3 | 06:54 |
| robbiethe1st | /dev/sdb exists, and I can see the partitions with fdisk -l or gparted, but... | 06:54 |
| jc1 | mifadir you use to have a crossover connection between two pc's?? | 06:54 |
| jerald | SwedeMike, I did try it shows command 'tpconfig' | 06:54 |
| SwedeMike | jerald: no, "ifconfig". | 06:54 |
| theDom | can someone help me fix the problem where eclipse crashes on startup on 10.04? | 06:55 |
| bareego | mifadir, for port forwarding you need to enable port forwarding and enable masquerading... you can do it easy if you want with a package called guidedog | 06:55 |
| jerald | SwedeMike, got it.. thanks.. | 06:55 |
| TheSarge | I have to use Jockey-gtk to uninstall and reinstall my wireless driver just to activate it everytime I reboot, is there any easier way to activate the driver at boot time? | 06:55 |
| TheSarge | modprobe or something? | 06:55 |
| sweetpi | TheSarge: echo "drivername" >> /etc/modules | 06:56 |
| jerald | it shows many number i got inet addr, mask, inet6 and fe96 so which is which? | 06:56 |
| hylian_ | TheSarge could this be because your wireless connection is unencrypted and therefore not trusted? (not a wireless user so i am shooting from the hip on this one) | 06:56 |
| TheSarge | sweetpi: How can I tell what the drivername is? | 06:57 |
| chilli0 | sweetpi, Yeah I know , But I prefer to restart because then I can make sure it still all works. | 06:57 |
| === shaun is now known as ska_ | ||
| jerald | SwedeMike, I got too many numbers.. so which is which here is my mac address? | 06:57 |
| sweetpi | TheSarge: lshw -C network | 06:57 |
| bareego | jerald, the one after HWaddr | 06:58 |
| hylian_ | sweetpi lshw isnt automatically installed with ubuntu... | 06:58 |
| === Annie_ is now known as Annie | ||
| cjae | isnt google earth under partners repo? | 06:58 |
| jerald | bareego, thanks got ti.. link encap:ethernet HW 00:.... this is my mac address right? | 06:59 |
| hylian_ | cjae i had to use this site to get it: http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html | 06:59 |
| bareego | jerald, the bit after HW yeah | 06:59 |
| TheSarge | sweetpi: What it says under product? Thats the driver name? | 06:59 |
| sweetpi | hylian_: it is.. depended by ubuntu-standard | 06:59 |
| jerald | bareego, thanks.. | 06:59 |
| sweetpi | TheSarge: you should see driver: | 07:00 |
| sweetpi | TheSarge: easier way: lsmod | grep mac80211 | 07:00 |
| hylian_ | cjae did you see my post? | 07:00 |
| sweetpi | TheSarge: paste the output | 07:00 |
| chilli0 | sweetpi, And not every thing works =S | 07:01 |
| sweetpi | chilli0: whats not working? | 07:01 |
| TheSarge | sweetpi: No output.. | 07:01 |
| SwedeMike | jerald: it's on the first line. | 07:01 |
| sweetpi | TheSarge: then your wireless isnt up | 07:01 |
| TheSarge | sweetpi: and there is no driver: in the other output | 07:01 |
| cjae | brb | 07:02 |
| TheSarge | sweetpi: I am using wireless to talk to you right now lmao | 07:02 |
| chilli0 | sweetpi, hehe my bad. I knocked out the usb to the external. | 07:02 |
| === Annie_ is now known as Annie | ||
| sweetpi | TheSarge: you did "lsmod | grep mac80211"? | 07:02 |
| chilli0 | sweetpi, Thanks so much. I gotta go now =P | 07:02 |
| TheSarge | Want an SS with the wireless icon in the corner and my terminal showing no output for that command lol? | 07:02 |

| Flannel | XrK66: This channel is for Ubuntu technical support, if you're looking for a social channel, #ubuntu-offtopic is where you can go (and no, you don't have to use Ubuntu) | 07:23 |
| iceroot | XrK66: no, this channel is free for everyone | 07:23 |

| mayank | what if i go n install old ubuntu again | 07:24 |
| mayank | so no updates would be there | 07:24 |

| mayank | @iceroot : i am new kindly elaborate on last point | 07:25 |
| mayank | thank you | 07:25 |
| cellofellow | Firstgear: oh. Themes in gnome are a bit of a hodgepodge of metacity themes, gtk themes, and icon sets. There's no GUI editors for metacity and gtk themes afaik, just use a text editor and gimp. Icon sets, those are generally made with inkscape I think. | 07:25 |
| cellofellow | Firstgear: browse around gnome-look.org if you want some themes. | 07:25 |
| astropirate | what is the proper way to read/write to the /proc/[PID]/mem interface? when ever i open it up it's empty | 07:26 |

| cast | cjae: flash sucks. don't use it. | 07:47 |
| smackmanic | idk my brain is going dead from all this | 07:47 |
| somethinginteres | cast: thanks, looking at buying one.. didn't want to go ahead with it if Ubuntu couldn't utilise it | 07:47 |
| smackmanic | i just wanna try to load kernel and boot now, one last thing tonight | 07:47 |
| jonaskoelker | MaRk-I: fair enough; that's still at bugs.ubuntu.com? Do they have a special section for "ubuntu.com web site"? | 07:47 |
| sweetpi | smackmanic: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-<version> root=<your_root_dev>; initrd /boot/initrd-<version>; boot | 07:47 |
| smackmanic | if i cant get this working tomorrow...... | 07:47 |
| vinnie | cjae: flash does suck. | 07:47 |
| smackmanic | hm | 07:48 |
| MaRk-I | jonaskoelker: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ | 07:48 |
| cast | somethinginteres: the operating system doesn't even know, it just turns up as a block device | 07:48 |
| jonaskoelker | MaRk-I: do they ever listen to that? | 07:48 |
| cast | somethinginteres: erm, as any other sata drive does | 07:48 |
| Suit_Of_Sables | sweetpi: sorry to bother you again, but do you know if hfsprogs is in a repo? I can't seem to find it | 07:49 |
| MaRk-I | jonaskoelker: if enough people vote... I mean you think they'll implement something for just 1 person? | 07:49 |
| sweetpi | !info hfsprogs > Suit_Of_Sables | 07:49 |
| cjae | cast: yeah I see there is html5 for youtube but cant seem to figure out how to use it | 07:49 |
| jonaskoelker | MaRk-I: if it's in the bug tracker and they think it's a good idea, yeah | 07:49 |
| geraudk2000 | hello | 07:49 |
| KL-7 | Hi, I need some advice. I need download manager for ubuntu with pause/resume ability witch allows to browse ftp servers. Smth like reget delux on Win. | 07:50 |
| sweetpi | !info hfsprogs | 07:50 |
| ubottu | hfsprogs (source: hfsprogs): mkfs and fsck for HFS and HFS+ file systems. In component universe, is optional. Version 332.25-5 (lucid), package size 124 kB, installed size 304 kB | 07:50 |
| cast | cjae: i googled for html5 youtube | 07:50 |
| sweetpi | Suit_Of_Sables: its in universe | 07:50 |
| smackmanic | sweetpi, could you use that as an exact command for me, 2.6.24-28-generic /dev/sda1 as it would be actually typed? | 07:50 |
| cjae | cast: and that join and part button or what | 07:50 |
| MaRk-I | jonaskoelker: then create an account submit your idea and have people vote on it | 07:50 |
| smackmanic | my head is killing me | 07:50 |
| cast | KL-7: lftp could do that, but likely, too advanced for what you're looking for | 07:50 |
| somethinginteres | cast: righto. I have zero idea on hardware so I figured it paid to check just in case. :) Thanks. | 07:50 |
| cast | somethinginteres: might want to check up on something called trim ;) | 07:51 |
| cjae | so I have login music but no youtube sound | 07:51 |
| sweetpi | smackmanic: for real? | 07:51 |
| cast | somethinginteres: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIM | 07:51 |

| efuse | so i can see my shares | 07:53 |
| MaRk-I | !ask | RedSonja | 07:53 |
| ubottu | RedSonja: 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. :-) | 07:53 |
| KL-7 | cast, it doesn't have gui interface, does it? For this purpose I'd like to have smth with gui... | 07:53 |

| smackmanic | brb | 07:55 |
| sweetpi | whats wrong with smbclient.. hmph | 07:55 |
| cast | nah, i avoid windows file sharing protocols | 07:55 |
| bareego | sweetpi, it's not "clicky" | 07:55 |
| sweetpi | bah, i dont even have a mouse | 07:56 |
| somethinginteres | cast: will do. | 07:56 |
| giov | What am I missing, when make for a wifi driver gives: "/lib/modules/2.6.32-24-generic/build: No such file or directory. Stop." ? | 07:56 |
| bareego | hey, I do like to ssh into my server and see what screen is doing, too | 07:56 |

| chris_osx | sweetpi, you have a trackpad :-) | 07:56 |
| sweetpi | chris_osx: sshhh | 07:56 |
| MaRk-I | giov: did you install build-essentials and kernel headers? | 07:57 |
| giov | What am I missing, when make for a wifi driver gives: "/lib/modules/2.6.32-24-generic/build: No such file or directory. Stop." ?? | 07:58 |
| TheSarge | wtf I have downloaded this tar.gz from 3 sources and a torrent and it keeps erroring in the unrar/gzip? | 07:58 |
| sweetpi | !repeat | giov | 07:59 |
| ubottu | giov: 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. | 07:59 |
| giov | MaRk-I: b-e yes, not kernel headers | 07:59 |
| sinurge | hi, big issue, i dw the 10.10 alpha 2 64bit..it boots up but if you click "try ubuntu" it goes to a freeze with a X mouse pointer or "install ubuntu" and it goes to a freeze post nw time sync | 08:00 |
| TheSarge | I was outta disk space lmao | 08:00 |
| cast | TheSarge: there is no unrar. its a tarball. | 08:00 |
| TheSarge | cast: Ya thats what I meant lol | 08:00 |
| giov | MaRk-I: linux-headers-386 ? | 08:02 |
| MaRk-I | giov: do "uname -ar" and install the matching kernel header | 08:02 |
| giov | MaRk-I: thanks | 08:03 |
| MaRk-I | giov: yw | 08:03 |
| MaRk-I | giov: this might work: sudo apt-get -y install linux-headers-`uname -r` | 08:04 |

| ttt-- | bareego, did you run fsck? or how did you fix it? | 08:07 |
| MaRk-I | !maverick | sinurge | 08:07 |
| ubottu | sinurge: Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 2010 - Maverick is Not released and Not Stable, discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 08:07 |
| chris_osx | is it a good idea to install a vanilla kernel? | 08:07 |
| iceroot | chris_osx: why you need a newer kernel? | 08:07 |
| Archana | ikonia, only 9.04 on netbook/laptop and without integ webcam :( | 08:07 |
| chris_osx | iceroot: i just would try out the latest stable kernel from kernel.org | 08:08 |
| Archana | ikonia, do you know any other like dell which has 10.04 and with integrated webcam ? | 08:08 |
| iceroot | chris_osx: then do it and find out yourself if it is a good idea | 08:08 |
| chris_osx | lol | 08:08 |
| sinurge | whats the command to check what kernal version am running now | 08:08 |
| ikonia | Archana: no | 08:08 |
| iceroot | sinurge: uname -a | 08:08 |
| MaRk-I | Archana: check system76 website | 08:08 |
| iceroot | sinurge: uname -r | 08:09 |
| TheSarge | Archana: I Just got a 1564 Inspirion and my webcam doesnt work yet :( | 08:09 |
| skumara | when i play avi files in VLC i got no sound. but i can play mp3 in amorok got sound. help? | 08:09 |
| chris_osx | iceroot: i did that with gentoo linux a few years ago and it worked without any problems | 08:09 |
| Archana | TheSarge, Good luck . | 08:09 |
| iceroot | chris_osx: its not easy to answer if it is a good idea, so its up to your opinion | 08:09 |
| sinurge | oh yeah thanks tried uname -a | 08:09 |
| Archana | MaRk-I, Ok. I am checking it | 08:09 |
| TheSarge | lol | 08:09 |
| TheSarge | But its so fat! lol | 08:09 |
| iceroot | chris_osx: as i said, find out yourself | 08:09 |
| TheSarge | fast! | 08:10 |
| bareego | ttt--, it did by itself when I rebooted | 08:10 |
| ttt-- | bareego, can you remember what you did to fix it? just run fsck? | 08:10 |
| TheSarge | Just getting the wireless to work is a bear | 08:10 |
| bareego | ttt--, I rebooted and fsck ran and fixed it | 08:10 |
| chris_osx | iceroot: ok. i just didn't know if there are certain reasons why on ubuntu you shouldn't try it | 08:10 |
| TheSarge | Wasnt dell preinstalling these things with Ubuntu, wtf doesnt everything just work? | 08:11 |
| === FreshPrince is now known as FreshPrince_ | ||
| iceroot | chris_osx: ubuntu related kernel-patches | 08:11 |
| MaRk-I | !fsck | ttt-- | 08:11 |
| ubottu | ttt--: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 08:11 |
| === mtw is now known as efuse | ||
| TheSarge | I heard MS paid Dell lots to drop outta Dellbuntu | 08:11 |
| ttt-- | ok. i'll try that, thanks | 08:11 |
| ikonia | TheSarge: that's nothing to do with this channel | 08:12 |
| iceroot | chris_osx: i am running 2.6.34 fine on ubuntu but i dont wat to say, yes its always a good idea to run vanilla kernel | 08:12 |
| chris_osx | iceroot: where can i find out what ubuntu patched into the kernel? | 08:12 |
| TheSarge | Well it is but its off topic sorry :( | 08:12 |
| ikonia | chris_osx: the kernel soource package contains the ubuntu patches | 08:12 |
| iceroot | chris_osx: have a look at lauchpad for the patches applied to the source-package | 08:12 |
| chris_osx | iceroot: ok thanks | 08:13 |
| smackmanic | loaded kernel,init, booot, bleh.../dev/sda1/ does not exist..so i figured..maybe i got it wrong (didnt think so but tried) sda2...same thing | 08:13 |
| ikonia | smackmanic: is this ubuntu 10.04 ? | 08:13 |
| iceroot | ikonia: the source package doesnt contain the patches imo, they are applied while building and not part of the source-package | 08:13 |
| smackmanic | in busybox ls /dev i dont see ANYthing remotely close to that, however im not sure if i should | 08:13 |
| seidos | does sudo aptitude show packagename show the actual size of the package? | 08:13 |
| smackmanic | ikonia, yes | 08:14 |
| ikonia | iceroot: they are in the source package and refernced from the deb control file | 08:14 |
| smackmanic | just updated around 2 days ago, havent been able to boot up ubuntu since | 08:14 |
| ikonia | smackmanic: then disks should be referenced by uuid not, not /dev/sda why did you change it from uuid ? | 08:14 |
| iceroot | ikonia: thanks for the info | 08:14 |
| smackmanic | ikonia: because there is some sort of bug that won't recognize the uuid | 08:14 |
| smackmanic | hence im trying alt ways to get into ubuntu atm | 08:14 |
| ikonia | smackmanic: no there isn't | 08:15 |
| smackmanic | yes, there is | 08:15 |
| ikonia | smackmanic: ubuntu recognises the uuid just fine | 08:15 |
| ikonia | smackmanic: why don't you explain th eproblem | 08:15 |
| ikonia | the | 08:15 |
| smackmanic | lol ubuntu does not... | 08:15 |
| smackmanic | http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1454385.html | 08:15 |
| ikonia | smackmanic: explain the problem | 08:15 |
| smackmanic | identical problem, however i cant get that fix to work | 08:16 |
| ikonia | smackmanic: you get the dropping to shell error ? | 08:16 |
| smackmanic | yep | 08:16 |
| smackmanic | please tell me you know something about it | 08:16 |
| smackmanic | other than 'use livecd' cause i dont have a way to do that anytime soon | 08:16 |
| ikonia | smackmanic: first, was this a 9.04 to -> 10.04 install | 08:16 |
| smackmanic | 8.04 to 10.04 | 08:17 |
| ikonia | smackmanic: , ok good, so you're using grub1 | 08:17 |
| smackmanic | yeah | 08:17 |
| tik | hi | 08:18 |
| ikonia | smackmanic: boot from the livecd, run "sudo blkid" and verify the uuid's against the one used in /boot/grub/menu.lst on your boot directory on your ubuntu install (make sure not the live cd's file system) | 08:18 |
| smackmanic | =/ | 08:19 |
| sweetpi | hehe.. "other than 'use livecd'" | 08:19 |
| smackmanic | fml | 08:19 |
| smackmanic | im sooooooooooo fried | 08:19 |
| tik | take a break | 08:19 |
| ikonia | smackmanic: sorry, when you said "other than use the livecd" does that mean you don't have a livecd | 08:19 |
| smackmanic | ikonia: at the moment i can't get one. not enough space (believe i tried to clear everything) | 08:20 |
| ikonia | smackmanic: ok, tell me about your system, how many disks, how many partitions ? | 08:20 |
| smackmanic | one harddrive...linux/windows dual boot | 08:20 |
| Suit_Of_Sables | does anyone know how to 'restore' a volume from a .dmg file in ubuntu? Do i need to convert it to an ISO? | 08:20 |
| smackmanic | im currently in windows | 08:20 |
| pawan | hi | 08:20 |
| MaRk-I | smackmanic: can you boot from an earlier kernel? | 08:20 |
| ikonia | smackmanic: how many partitions ? | 08:20 |
| pawan | can i upgrade from 8.04 64 bit lts to 10.04 32 bit | 08:21 |
| ikonia | pawan: no | 08:21 |
| pawan | then | 08:21 |
| ikonia | pawan: you can't change 64->32 or 32->64 | 08:21 |
| smackmanic | ikonia, i wanna say 3...windows, linux...and whatever you'd call the other...sorry, newbie | 08:21 |
| ikonia | smackmanic: swap ? | 08:21 |
| smackmanic | right...i guess we count that | 08:21 |
| smackmanic | MaRk-I: I'm not sure | 08:21 |
| ikonia | smackmanic: so including swap 3 ? | 08:21 |
| smackmanic | yea | 08:22 |
| smackmanic | including swap 3 | 08:22 |
| ikonia | smackmanic: ok, so was windows on the machine first ? | 08:22 |
| TheSarge | Which virtualbox package do I need to just install virtualbox? There is so man in apt-cache search virtualbox | 08:22 |
| smackmanic | yeah | 08:22 |
| ikonia | smackmanic: ok, you may want to make a note of this | 08:22 |
| smackmanic | windows was on here first, then ubuntu | 08:22 |
| smackmanic | ok | 08:22 |
| TheSarge | virtualbox-ose? | 08:22 |
| ikonia | smackmanic: boot the machine, you'll get grub | 08:22 |
| cntrational | how do i make a gparted liveusb | 08:22 |
| ejv | hello, i had ubuntu installed, then decided to install windows, now grub is gone, and only XP boots, how do I fix ? | 08:22 |
| ikonia | smackmanic: scroll down to the ubuntu 10.04 kernel using the arrow keys | 08:23 |
| cntrational | ejv: easiest way is to reinstall ubuntu | 08:23 |
| ikonia | smackmanic: press "e" when the ubuntu kernel is hilighted | 08:23 |
| smackmanic | right | 08:23 |
| ikonia | smackmanic: this will put you into an "edit" mode. | 08:23 |
| smackmanic | yes... | 08:23 |
| smackmanic | i've been there for a good 3 hrs...lol | 08:23 |
| theDom | anyone fix the Eclipse crashing on startup problem in 10.04? | 08:23 |
| DavidJHeinrich | hi all, question...I had a GNOME panel that I made to to the right side of the screen & autohide...now it won't show up again...how can I fix this? | 08:23 |
| ejv | cntrational: why reinstall ubuntu, can't i just reinstall Grub somehow... | 08:23 |
| pawan | hello | 08:23 |
| ikonia | smackmanic: move to where the uuid is referenced, and change it to /dev/sda2 and then enter, then press "b" to boot | 08:23 |
| cntrational | ejv: hmm wait a second | 08:24 |
| ikonia | smackmanic: if that doesn't work change it to /dev/sda3 | 08:24 |
| ikonia | smackmanic: the reason I can't be sure is I don't know which is your swap and which is your root file system | 08:24 |
| smackmanic | what about hd0,1 | 08:24 |
| pawan | pawan here | 08:24 |
| ikonia | smackmanic: that shoulnd't need changing | 08:24 |
| efuse | having some random linux fun | 08:25 |
| smackmanic | ikonia...it might...heh | 08:25 |
| ikonia | smackmanic: that gives me a hint that your disks should be /dev/sda2 though | 08:25 |
| ikonia | smackmanic: why would it need changing ? | 08:25 |
| smackmanic | ikonia, i can actually pull up windows sys info and show which part is which | 08:25 |
| ikonia | smackmanic: doesn't matter what windows see's it as | 08:26 |
| ikonia | smackmanic: ubuntu may see it different | 08:26 |
| smackmanic | no I can tell by the gig space | 08:26 |
| smackmanic | lol | 08:26 |
| ikonia | smackmanic: I'm %80 confident it's /dev/sda2 though | 08:26 |
| TheSarge | can you not run virtualbox on a 64 bit install? | 08:26 |

| kzmc99 | Is it simply not possible for an internal drive's GRUB bootloader to see USB drives? | 08:29 |
| ikonia | kzmc99: totally possible | 08:29 |
| pawan | pawan from australia | 08:29 |
| kzmc99 | ikonia: what am I doing wrong? GRUB rescue doesn't even see the usb drive | 08:29 |
| ikonia | kzmc99: it depends on a lot of things how/if the external drive can be used | 08:30 |
| ikonia | kzmc99: has the external drive ever booted ubuntu before ? | 08:30 |
| pawan | hello | 08:30 |

| kzmc99 | ikonia: freshly partitioned in gparted | 08:30 |
| ikonia | kzmc99: how did you install ubuntu on it ? | 08:31 |
| tik | uhm instaling ubuntu on a externa USdrive usually won't work | 08:31 |
| tik | USB | 08:31 |
| ikonia | tik: works fine | 08:31 |
| kzmc99 | ikonia: via the livecd, typical install | 08:31 |
| tik | go into boot menu and try booting off it | 08:31 |
| tik | not im what I've read | 08:32 |
| tik | USB ok | 08:32 |
| ikonia | tik: it depends on the motherboard and how it presents the disk | 08:32 |
| tik | external, only in 10% | 08:32 |
| tik | thumbdriers are ok | 08:32 |
| tik | drives | 08:32 |
| ikonia | tik: as I said it depends on the motherboard and how / when it presents a disk | 08:32 |
| tik | ok | 08:32 |
| kzmc99 | tik, ikonia: it's a typical 300gb western digital external. motherboard is outdated laptop | 08:32 |
| tik | usualy won't ork | 08:33 |

| ikonia | kzmc99: ok, in that situation, I'd bet it won't work as tik suggested | 08:33 |
| tik | google it if you don't believe me | 08:33 |
| kzmc99 | what's the way to go then? | 08:33 |
| kzmc99 | there's no workaround even? | 08:33 |
| ikonia | kzmc99: in what respect ? | 08:33 |
| ikonia | kzmc99: , the motherboard doesn't present the disk in a way that grub can see | 08:33 |
| tik | di you try booting off of it in the boot menu of your computer? | 08:33 |
| tik | usually escape | 08:34 |
| ikonia | kzmc99: does your laptop support booting from usb ? | 08:34 |
| kzmc99 | unfortunately this model doesn't have a boot menu of its own | 08:34 |
| ikonia | kzmc99: no work around then | 08:34 |
| tik | why are you installing to a usb drive anyway? | 08:34 |
| kzmc99 | what about with lilo or the windows bootloader? same deal? | 08:34 |
| cntrational | I've tried using unetbootin to install gparted onto a usb drive, but it gets errors if i try to boot | 08:34 |
| kzmc99 | the laptop hasn't got enough internal drive space for ubuntu | 08:34 |
| ikonia | kzmc99: can't use the windows boot loader, and lilo will have the same problem | 08:35 |
| tik | um | 08:35 |
| tik | hm | 08:35 |
| MaRk-I | kzmc99: last thing would be if theres a BIOS update for that laptop that'll make it detect usb drives at boot up... (but that hardly happens) | 08:36 |
| pawan | hello | 08:36 |
| ikonia | pawan: you've said that | 08:36 |

| tik | kzmc99: id install the ubuntu sever version | 08:38 |
| pawan | then | 08:38 |

| ikonia | tik: why would the server version make a difference ? | 08:38 |
| ikonia | tik: he's still going to want to put a desktop on it | 08:38 |
| tik | because hes ose on space | 08:38 |
| tik | low | 08:38 |
| pawan | anyone from india | 08:38 |
| ikonia | tik: but if he wants a desktop experience, it will be the same space | 08:38 |
| kzmc99 | it's for someone who has never used linux before, and he's really enthusiastic about giving it a try..so i hate to let him down | 08:38 |
| tik | then install openbox | 08:38 |

| tik | sirninja: change the port and restrict ip's in iptables | 08:59 |
| TheEskimo | tik: that isn't all | 08:59 |
| TheEskimo | One sec | 08:59 |
| ikonia | sirninja: enable ssh keys only and make sure you are the only one with a key, tie it down with iptables to your ip address, use hosts.allow to only allow your ip address | 08:59 |
| llutz | sirninja: use AllowedUsers in sshd.config | 08:59 |
| TheEskimo | sirninja: Yes. Use public/private key auth. Not passwords | 09:00 |

| sirninja | I don't know if the ip I'll be accessing it from will always be the same though | 09:00 |
| Frijolie | tik, yeah I wasn't thinking... | 09:00 |
| sirninja | is it possible to make it block an ip after so many failed attempts? of course running on a nonstandard port would stop 99% of people from trying to begin with wouldn't it? | 09:01 |
| tik | sirninja: add a range | 09:01 |
| tik | and check log regularly | 09:01 |
| tik | yes install fail2ban | 09:01 |

| s4 | if in ubuntu some program hangs then i have to restart the system is there any way to closee the non responding running program. it really annoys when you try to run mplayer and play a movie and it haangs and no mousse click responds niether the keyboard responds. something like in window i run task manager and close the non responding applicatiooon | 09:23 |
| ndevastator | ok i have found how to manually alter that list | 09:23 |
| TheEskimo | s4: run xkill and click on it. If that fails run kill -9 pid | 09:24 |

| TheEskimo | s4: You can run xkill by hitting alt+F2 and then typing xkill. You can find the pid by running ps -Aux | grep -i program name and then using that with kill. | 09:24 |
| s4 | theeskimo mouse and keyboard also becomes non responding | 09:25 |

| TheEskimo | Gogu: When you start up there should be a message saying "Press x for setup" or similar. For example f2, f12, or delete. When you hit that key you will be taken to the bios setup screen. Here you need to find a 'Boot order' option and raise the cd-rom option to above the harddrive one. After that hit f10 to exit and save and try again | 09:44 |

| RandyRKelly | Mouse r nothing would | 09:51 |
| TheEskimo | Gogu: Actually, you can just press both (not just once, contune to press them until the bios setup screen appears or grub appears) and not have to know which it is exactly. | 09:51 |
| tik | did you burn at a slow speed and check your cd-rom and the md5sum ? | 09:51 |
| RandyRKelly | Yes I did | 09:51 |
| RandyRKelly | Maybe bad? | 09:51 |
| tik | maybe | 09:52 |
| tik | I burnt to a cd-r twice and i was bad each tie I had to use a dvd at slow speeds | 09:52 |
| tik | cause the cdr would freeze up ubuntu and cause crashes | 09:52 |
| tik | I dropped into console and sw I/O errors | 09:52 |
| TheEskimo | RandyRKelly: You can usually verify after burning | 09:52 |
| tik | saw | 09:52 |
| tik | yeah | 09:52 |
| RandyRKelly | Mmmmm well I don't have any DVD disk | 09:53 |

| mExIoUs | wandering if somone could please help i am getting this error "networking main process (631) terminated with status 1" and the system hangs at boot. am running ubuntu server 10.0 | 10:01 |
| tik | mExIoUs: whatdid you install? | 10:01 |
| Gogu | TheEskimo Tik, I did | 10:01 |
| TheEskimo | gogu: you hit f10 and saved? | 10:01 |
| tik | does it boot from livecd now? | 10:01 |
| mExIoUs | installed mythtv backend was the most recent | 10:01 |
| Gogu | TheEskimo yes | 10:01 |
| mExIoUs | it has been working fine, just today decided to do this to me | 10:02 |
| tik | remove it and reboot and see if it helps | 10:02 |
| TheEskimo | Gogu: Now if it does not boot from the live cd we must bring into question the cd. Does it boot from it? | 10:02 |
| Gogu | TheEskimo it is not booting from CD | 10:02 |
| tik | hmmm | 10:03 |
| TheEskimo | Gogu: do you have another computer you can test the disk on to make sure it can boot? I suspect it is faulty | 10:03 |
| TheEskimo | Better yet, have you used it before and how long ago? | 10:03 |
| mExIoUs | tik: how do i remove it i cant even get it to boot, it just hangs with that error | 10:03 |
| nickjohnson | Can anyone suggest why ivman might've stopped detecting when I insert a DVD after I upgraded to 10.4? | 10:04 |
| Gogu | TheEskimo Will try and get back | 10:04 |
| TheEskimo | mExIoUs: You should be able to use the recovery option in grub, yes? | 10:04 |
| TheEskimo | Gogu: okay. Best of luck. | 10:04 |
| mExIoUs | i can boot from the cd and access recovery | 10:04 |
| nickjohnson | Or how I can debug hal events? | 10:05 |
| mExIoUs | the other recent thing i did was configure eth0 from webmin for static ip rather than dhcp as it has been using | 10:06 |
| tik | TheEskimo: you really hav your work cut out for you in here :P | 10:06 |
| erUSUL | !webmin | 10:06 |
| tik | mExIoUs: that might be the problem | 10:06 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 10:06 |
| TheEskimo | tik: back. was afk for a sec | 10:06 |
| tik | TheEskimo: didn't notice | 10:07 |
| mExIoUs | aahha ok, so is there some way i can get the system too boot lol and fix the problem that has been caused | 10:07 |
| ManDay | Where do I put commands which are supposed to be executed right after the booting has finished?! | 10:07 |
| ManDay | in /etc/init/ ? | 10:07 |
| tik | um | 10:07 |
| tik | you add a script to init/d yes | 10:08 |
| TheEskimo | ManDay /etc/init.d/ | 10:08 |
| tik | init.d | 10:08 |
| rav014 | is it possible to change the login screen? | 10:08 |
| TheEskimo | rav014: Yes | 10:08 |
| ManDay | but that would be SystemV init not the new grandiose upstrart, eh? | 10:08 |
| ManDay | and then id also have to supply a complete script, eh? | 10:08 |
| tik | ManDay: http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/09/07/adding-a-startup-script-to-be-run-at-bootup/ | 10:08 |
| mExIoUs | ok, so boot from the install cd and access recovery and then edit init.d | 10:08 |
| ManDay | tik: I DONT want to add a startup script - just a SINGLE command | 10:09 |
| ManDay | no daemon | 10:09 |
| tik | i know | 10:09 |
| ManDay | nothing like that, a SIMPLE PLAIN command | 10:09 |
| llutz | ManDay: /etc/rc.local | 10:09 |
| tik | #1/bin/bash | 10:09 |
| tik | #! | 10:09 |
| tik | sudo ls | 10:09 |
| TheEskimo | mExIoUs: /etc/init.d/networking might need to be edited to fix it | 10:09 |
| tik | thats al a script is | 10:09 |
| ManDay | llutz: fair enough | 10:09 |
| erUSUL | ManDay: /etc/rc.local just before the "exit 0" line | 10:09 |
| mExIoUs | thanks tik | 10:09 |
| ManDay | erUSUL: equally fair | 10:09 |
| ManDay | thanks | 10:09 |
| llutz | ManDay: should work with upstart too | 10:09 |
| tik | either way.. meg :) | 10:10 |
| tik | meh | 10:10 |
| ManDay | can someone tell me what all the rc....d things are? I think this was all SystemV ?!ß | 10:10 |
| ManDay | why is it in ubuntu? | 10:10 |
| ManDay | tik thanks :P | 10:10 |

| ncurses | hey guys... im a noob on this irc thing and of course on ubuntu...i do have a question... what do you guys recommend on using firewall on ubuntu? im currently using firestarter but i want a little more versatile and of functionsmuch more like i do have control on everything and lot | 10:11 |
| ncurses | of functions... | 10:11 |
| Kwpolska | ncurses: do not use firewall. | 10:11 |
| TheEskimo | ncurses: You can use many things. iptables if needed. But you don't raelly need one usually | 10:12 |
| ncurses | @Kwpolska why? | 10:12 |
| ncurses | because ubuntu is safe when used on internet? | 10:12 |
| llutz | ncurses: just make sure that no unwanted services are running and the needed things are well configured and kept actual | 10:13 |
| Kwpolska | ncurses: on irc we do use Kwpolska: rather than @Kwpolska. | 10:13 |
| Kwpolska | @ is reserved for ops, but not used when hilighting someone. | 10:14 |
| ncurses | @TheEskimo sorry im not used on iptables... i was using freebsd on most servers. but whoa... i love ubuntu on my laptop... | 10:14 |
| TheEskimo | ncurses: It is a good tool to get used to. Good luck! | 10:14 |
| red2kic | Kwpolska: Sometimes people use @Kwpolska (as... to Kwpolska or at Kwpolska) | 10:14 |
| poopsmith | boobs | 10:14 |
| ncurses | =) | 10:15 |
| Kwpolska | red2kic: But this shall not be used. Just sounds bad with @ at non-ops. | 10:15 |
| red2kic | Kwpolska: It all depends on how the newcomers see the client. | 10:15 |
| ncurses | oopps sorry for the @... =) | 10:15 |
| red2kic | ncurses: You can use tabs. Try type "red2" then press tab. | 10:16 |
| ncurses | im using xchat | 10:16 |
| ManDay | Can anyone tell me what rcS.d is and why we have 6 rc.d directories although ubuntu doesnt know runlevels?! | 10:16 |
| ncurses | thanks for that... i guess im really a newbie on these irc client thing | 10:16 |
| ncurses | :) | 10:17 |
| ManDay | ncurses: you only need to know one thing about irc | 10:17 |
| RandyRKelly | Were can I get 9.10 | 10:17 |
| ManDay | its is evil | 10:17 |
| iceroot | ManDay: for compatibility, rcS.d is holding the (S)tart scripts | 10:17 |
| ncurses | ManDay, lol | 10:17 |
| ManDay | http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=download+ubuntu+9.10&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 | 10:17 |
| ManDay | @ RandyRKelly | 10:17 |
| RandyRKelly | Thank | 10:17 |
| ManDay | yw | 10:18 |
| ManDay | iceroot: what compatibility? | 10:18 |
| iceroot | ManDay: to packages like apache and so on | 10:18 |
| ManDay | for packages which are not packed for ubuntu or what? iceroot | 10:18 |
| iceroot | ManDay: so you dont have to patch all packages because the go into different run-level-directorys | 10:18 |
| ManDay | hm | 10:18 |
| ManDay | and natively rcS.d is executed for every Runlevel? | 10:19 |
| iceroot | ManDay: also its part of LSB | 10:19 |
| ManDay | as if ubuntu cared | 10:19 |
| iceroot | ManDay: you want to flame? | 10:19 |
| ManDay | no just kidding | 10:19 |

| ibrahim | oCean_: dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-current ..... /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure must be run as root | 10:56 |
| oCean_ | ibrahim: start with sudo | 10:56 |
| ibrahim | oCean_: sorry i dont know what does it mean. | 10:56 |
| ibrahim | oCean_: ah okay | 10:57 |
| oCean_ | ibrahim: start the command 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure ...' | 10:57 |
| ibrahim | oCean_: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: nvidia-current is broken or not fully installed | 10:58 |
| chrislabeard | When setting permissions on a directory who does it need to be owned by for the server to write to it? | 10:58 |
| oCean_ | ibrahim: try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current && sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-current" | 10:59 |
| ibrahim | oCean_: i have to use them serperated right ? first : "sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current" and second "sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-current" | 11:00 |
| oCean_ | chrislabeard: should be owned by the user running that specific process. (for example apache webserver runs user www-data) | 11:00 |
| oCean_ | ibrahim: no, it's one single command | 11:00 |
| oCean_ | ibrahim: but you *coud* separate them, up to you | 11:01 |
| oCean_ | could | 11:01 |
| chrislabeard | oCean_: The directory says its owned by my admin user name "beard' but it still won't allow the server to write to it when trying to install | 11:01 |
| oCean_ | chrislabeard: what install are we talking about? | 11:01 |
| chrislabeard | oCean_: Well its wordpress | 11:02 |
| ibrahim | oCean_: after using them serperated i got this for the first one now i using both at the same time E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) | 11:02 |
| === AnEskimo is now known as TheEskimo | ||
| oCean_ | chrislabeard: wp is installed through webserver, so the directory where you want to install wp (e.g. /var/www/wordpress) should be owned by www-data, since apache runs under that user | 11:02 |
| chrislabeard | Alright | 11:03 |
| chrislabeard | What group would that be | 11:03 |
| oCean_ | ibrahim: nvm, then the combined commands won't work either | 11:03 |
| oCean_ | chrislabeard: same | 11:03 |
| ibrahim | oCean_: the same result after using both ! still getting the error message yes | 11:03 |

| ibrahim | oCean_: done . please visit http://paste.ubuntu.com/471421/ | 11:05 |

| NeverCast | chrislabeard, what are you trying to do? | 11:08 |
| chrislabeard | NeverCast: I'm trying to use this for a test server so I need to be able to upload directories and allow my server to write to them. | 11:08 |
| oCean_ | chrislabeard: should be ok if wwmcd is your wp directory, I would do: "chown -R www-data:www-data wpdir/" | 11:08 |

| Xonnie316 | -> Hardware Drivers, in which I've uninstalled and re-installed the nVidia Driver. But it would still stay the same…. I've also noticed before Ubuntu loads up it takes a long time to bring up the desktop and it shows an error "nforce2_smbus 0000:00:03.2: error probing SMB1" | 11:23 |

| tik | hmm | 11:59 |
| tik | do ou umount it before reboot? | 11:59 |
| tik | you | 11:59 |
| fml-ish | yes | 11:59 |
| * cast finds life much easier when you avoid proprietary garbage | 11:59 | |
| fml-ish | but isn't that pointless? shouldnt it unmount anyways | 11:59 |
| tik | yeah | 11:59 |
| tik | just asking | 11:59 |
| fml-ish | cast: ok but nouveau doesnt support my card | 12:00 |

| __AJ | ? | 12:01 |
| tik | fml-ish: make a note of the /dev/sd whatever for your windows partition | 12:01 |
| fml-ish | cast: nvidia 8200m G 1GB isnt that crappy tho | 12:01 |
| fml-ish | tik: what do you mean? | 12:01 |

| zongo_ | was wondering if any of you knew the which .conf file would I need to modify | 12:02 |
| zongo_ | in order to have a static IPv4 address | 12:03 |
| cast | not just intel. | 12:03 |

| mkanyicy | fml-ish, so if I understand you correctly. You say the dual boot works until you boot into ubuntu AND then mount the windows partition (ntfs) in ubuntu? | 12:10 |
| fml-ish | mkanyicy: can i make it simple? my english isnt that great | 12:10 |
| mkanyicy | fml-ish, yes please. | 12:11 |
| fml-ish | mkanyicy: 1 i install windows 2 i install ubuntu 3 i realize i can't see my ntfs partition 4 i force its mount 5 i access my partition and just say hi 6 i unmount 7 i restart my computer 8 i choose windows xp from grub 9 my pc restarts with no errors or such | 12:11 |
| mkanyicy | blargg, what is vsftpd ? | 12:11 |

| ikonia | keitherz: contacting the wine maintainer for help with your wine problem is not a good idea, as you are not using the ubuntu packages | 12:50 |
| soreau | keitherz: So you are trying to compile wine? If its complaining at configure time, that means you are missing build dependencies | 12:50 |
| ikonia | keitherz: you need to contact the maintainer of the repo you are using | 12:50 |

| Jin16 | I have instal it from a cd, where there was/ are windows on too | 13:07 |
| Jin16 | the my pc there are windows on | 13:07 |
| _johnny | Grozzy: the reason i mentioned the paranthesis (), was in case your current homedir is /home/Grozzy and when you reinstall you have no user called Grozzy :) but assuming you'll use the same username, then no problem | 13:07 |
| WaltzingAlong | Jin16: so seems like you could just boot into ms windows already. do that instead of ubuntu. from within ms windows you could format the partition containing ubuntu, as suggested by c3l | 13:08 |

| Audible | anyone know a good recovery tool ? | 14:10 |
| abhijit | coz_, so only one option remain i.e. to fresh install ubuntu? | 14:10 |
| iceroot | !recover | Audible | 14:10 |
| ubottu | Audible: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 14:10 |
| aeon-ltd | tik: its not officially out yet https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine1.2 | 14:10 |
| mkanyicy | antonio_, what do you want to achieve? | 14:10 |
| coz_ | abhijit, if it comes down to it... and you have to reinstall... let me suggest downloading and burning the minimal install cd and choose edubuntu-desktop...this offers the advantage of both gnome and kde libraries and applications and is far faster than either ubuntu or kubuntu..somehow | 14:10 |
| Guest9929 | anybody got advice on editing this : mysql> update user set password=PASSWORD(“newrootpassword”) where user=’root’; | 14:10 |

| Mike_Flip79 | Hi agian I ve got Lucid Lynx Netbook up and running on my acer aspire 5000 but cant get the wireless working. possible reasons are the hardware button on the front that switches wlan on/off isnt supported and/or the B43xx needs ndiswrap which I cant DL cuz my wireless isnt working yet | 14:11 |
| Mike_Flip79 | any advice? | 14:11 |
| aeon-ltd | tik: then do this --> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wine | 14:11 |
| abhijit | !fixgrub | arunkumar413 see this | 14:11 |
| ubottu | arunkumar413 see this: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 14:11 |
| coz_ | abhijit, I have made a permanent switch to Edubuntu installed via minial cd... it has some applicatoins you might want to remove afterwards but overall it functions far better | 14:11 |
| mkanyicy | antonio_, then why are you using gparted? | 14:11 |
| antonio_ | to format the drive as ntfs | 14:11 |
| USGIshimura | lol | 14:11 |
| abhijit | coz_, ok. thanks | 14:12 |
| Guest9929 | yeah it may be jusy my syntax but im getting this error : mysql> update user set password=PASSWORD(“newrootpassword”) where user=’root’; | 14:12 |
| MaRk-I | Mike_Flip79: connect the pc with ethernet do updates and it will offer to install drivers | 14:12 |
| mkanyicy | antonio_, but you will lose data then unless you first resize the partition | 14:12 |
| arunkumar413 | abhijit: actually i have 3 distributions on my system. i can boot fedora and 9.04 but not 10.4 | 14:12 |
| Guest9929 | mysql> update user set password=PASSWORD(“xxxxxx”) where user=’root’; do i modify just the xxx part | 14:12 |

| Gnea | arunkumar413: well, heh, you're going to need one grub to "rule them all" | 14:14 |
| abhijit | arunkumar413, you tried in fedora channel? | 14:14 |
| sometux | eliezer, lsmod | 14:14 |

| arunkumar413 | abhijit: yes | 14:14 |

| Gnea | arunkumar413: if fedora was the last distro that you installed, you should be able to boot the 10.04 livecd and make it so that 10.04's grub is the 'master grub', if you understand my meaning, and that should detect and boot all 3 linux | 14:16 |

| ZykoticK9 | UberN00b, close any Synaptic or Ubuntu Software Cetner windows, then try again. | 15:03 |

| ZykoticK9 | UberN00b, or install using sudo? | 15:03 |
| Agiofws | where can i find the right analogy ? | 15:03 |
| UberN00b | Zykotick9 thatnks, sudo worked :) | 15:04 |

| ZykoticK9 | Agiofws, i wouldn't, i doubt you will need those repos now (but i could be wrong, I don't use any of that software), but I'd guess it's all in the default repo, just try all the "apt-get install stuff" lines. good luck | 15:07 |
| Agiofws | ok | 15:07 |

| dshbusiness | At first I installed ubuntu 10.04 | 15:08 |
| dshbusiness | I encrpted my /home | 15:08 |
| tik | pay for your internet access | 15:08 |
| dshbusiness | However, now, when I reinstalled OS. I just can't visit my home | 15:08 |
| dshbusiness | Can someone tell me how to deal with this situation? | 15:08 |
| ikonia | dshbusiness: you will have lost your encyption key with the install | 15:09 |
| tik | dshbusiness: better off doing a fresh install | 15:09 |
| dshbusiness | But now, How can I rescue my data? | 15:09 |

| Utrinqueparatus | is there a gconf command for removing password required for remote desktop? | 15:10 |
| Monkey_Dust | folx, I'm using irssi and need to know the ubuntu chatnet for the config file | 15:10 |
| tik | Utrinqueparatus: pretty secure... | 15:10 |
| ZykoticK9 | dshbusiness, :o i hope you didn't have anything important in your home directory. best of luck man, i think you'll need it. (i "doubt," but certainly don't "know" for sure, you'll get anything back) | 15:11 |
| dshbusiness | ikonia: Can I rescue my data on /home? They are important. | 15:11 |
| Utrinqueparatus | its only a 2 minute solution | 15:11 |
| ikonia | dshbusiness: I don't know/believe how to as you'll have lost your encyption key | 15:11 |
| Utrinqueparatus | i will be disabling remote dekstop straight after | 15:11 |
| tik | so why not just use the passwd? | 15:11 |
| Utrinqueparatus | i have no keyboard or mouse and need to change something in gui | 15:11 |
| Utrinqueparatus | cos i cant remember what i set it as | 15:11 |
| ohir | dshbusiness: unless you have your home partition backuped bit by bit (with dd) you have lost this data | 15:11 |
| ikonia | tik: they key will have changed, can he simpley use a password without the key that was used ? | 15:12 |
| tik | maybe | 15:12 |
| tik | idk | 15:12 |
| ohir | dshbusiness: encryption is exactly for that - so anyone, including you, can not acces data if one has no key | 15:12 |
| dshbusiness | ikonia: Thanks. | 15:12 |

| kishajos | I want to play Counter-Strike, or something like that | 15:31 |
| ixbidie | kishajos, for that, u have to emulate windows. | 15:31 |
| arc01 | kishajos, you'd probably first need Wine and then install CS | 15:31 |
| kishajos | but CS is only for Win | 15:31 |
| ixbidie | kishajos, Wine emulates windows and than it's no prob | 15:31 |

| grkblood | what is a video editing tool that i can use to slow down certain frames of a video files | 15:46 |
| jrib | Xaifas: yes, if there's a router in between, you need to forward to the server | 15:46 |
| grkblood | file* | 15:46 |
| Traveler7 | ixbidie, oCean: When it works, /var/log/messages seems the partitions, and nautilus opens the drive automatically. After bootup (when doesn't work) it knows the usb device, but not the partitions, etc. | 15:46 |

| wedwo | in synaptic, what's the difference between *Remove and *Remove Completely? | 15:48 |
| CAPcap | wedwo remove completely removes all associated configuration files | 15:48 |
| CAPcap | wedwo and i believe it also removes all associated files that no other program is dependent on. | 15:49 |
| nordle | pyTopher: greyed out. wtf. I luv computers :) damnit, same result. I even used gparted to destroy and start again. AND told usb-creator-gtk to "erase the disk". The files are there, the boot loader is on the stick, it loads syslinux. It just wont see the kernel image "Could not find kernel image: casper/vmlinuz" | 15:49 |
| wedwo | CAPcap, so *Remove doesn't remove dependencies? | 15:49 |
| Traveler7 | ixbidie, oCean_: I hate it too. I don't know, why is this. Maybe uhci driver gets to work later. Is it required? | 15:50 |
| * guampa can't believe he has been using pidgin instead of kvirc all this time for irc'ing | 15:50 | |
| CAPcap | wedwo, remove just removes that one item. and possibly anything that will break if you remove it | 15:50 |
| CAPcap | that second bit im not sure about | 15:50 |
| wedwo | CAPcap, Gotit, thanks muchly | 15:50 |
| oCean_ | Traveler7: I really have no clue, sorry. | 15:50 |
| nordle | pyTopher: I know the linuxmint lxde cd ISO is ok too because I've booted it under VirtualBox. | 15:51 |
| CAPcap | wedwo youbetcha | 15:51 |

| olskolirc | quit | 15:51 |
| CAPcap | alright so ive been having a lot of problems with my panels recently. is this a common problem with 10.04? maybe its just my old computer? or maybe my panels have some corrupted files? they load incorrectly the majority of the time. sometimes its just like a little white bar - something that doesnt effect function, but sometimes the applets load in the wrong spot, dont load at all, load with the wrong settings, or load on top of another | 15:52 |
| CAPcap | so that i cant get to the one under it. | 15:52 |
| pyTopher | nordle: i'm stumped. I'm new to Linux and i've been trying lots of different distros | 15:52 |

| CAPcap | guampa, how do i do that? | 15:53 |
| ringtenniswm8 | Hey ho :) | 15:53 |
| nordle | pyTopher: Cheers mate, appreciate the replies, at least I know it _should_ work. I'll keep trying. I'll also try other distros and maybe on another PC just in case its something freaky. | 15:53 |

| Tniffoc | m | 16:17 |
| picard1421 | even on USB drive? | 16:18 |
| ixbidie | picard1421, much faster? | 16:18 |
| Tniffoc | picard1421, especially on a USB drive. | 16:18 |

| th_ | IdleOne, yes thats wise. xinerama is running now but i hate running inappropriate apps | 16:18 |
| magicianlord | picard1421: yes, hard drive or solid state drive is faster than usb. although, it is possible to install ubuntu to usb. i have ran it. | 16:18 |
| notme | c3l: i just ask you if it's in your lan because then you can know it's ip by using a netscanner | 16:18 |

| kishajos | i've got a problem | 16:19 |
| kishajos | I installed Wine | 16:19 |
| magicianlord | picard1421: you install to the usb drive, then select advanced during the boot loader screen and select /dev/sdb, to install boot loader to the drive instead | 16:19 |
| Tniffoc | kishajos, theres your issue. ;D | 16:19 |
| th_ | btw Internet told me that Gnome should support 2 different wallpapers for 2 screens. But I cant figure out how :S | 16:19 |
| ixbidie | kishajos, what went wrong? | 16:19 |
| kishajos | I Can't open any file with Wine | 16:19 |
| Tniffoc | mondragon, your name sounds familiar. Where do you live? | 16:19 |
| kishajos | I get a Wrong message | 16:19 |
| kishajos | i tried Steam installer | 16:19 |
| kishajos | and i tried the CD | 16:20 |
| ixbidie | kishajos, Did u configured Wine ? | 16:20 |
| kishajos | no | 16:20 |
| c3l | notme: tell me more! :) | 16:20 |
| Tniffoc | kishajos, Try running notepad.exe first. And make sure to check WineHQ before running more complex programs | 16:20 |
| picard1421 | hmm | 16:20 |
| picard1421 | wont it give me an option for GRUB bootloader? | 16:20 |
| th_ | Internet told me that Gnome should support 2 different wallpapers for 2 screens. But I cant figure out how :S | 16:21 |
| Tniffoc | picard1421, Ubuntu automatically uses GRUB2 as its bootlaoder when you install | 16:21 |
| nordle | pyTopher: joy :) Tried a diferent ISO and it worked. I went back to check the iso and while its called "i386", the properties say AMD64. So looks like the iso is the wrong one. | 16:21 |
| notme | c3l: just install nmap, menawhile figure out your own ip and netmask, with those you can determine the netblock to scan | 16:21 |
| picard1421 | so when its installing grub or partitioning HD's | 16:21 |
| picard1421 | where is this secret menu | 16:21 |
| Tniffoc | picard1421, What secret menu... | 16:21 |
| notme | c3l: then you scan the netblock looking for the tcp port you want, which i assume is 22 | 16:21 |
| pyTopher | nordle: hooray! | 16:21 |
| picard1421 | what am i Configing to make the USB drive bootable | 16:21 |

| Doonz | hey guys can someone point me to a how-to on how to use multiple byobu sessions together | 16:21 |
| kishajos | :D | 16:22 |
| magicianlord | picard1421: after the installer finishes, it will ask you to confirm where to install the boot loader | 16:22 |
| picard1421 | ok.. | 16:22 |
| magicianlord | you should select advanced | 16:22 |
| magicianlord | then select the usb drive, not the local hard drive of your machien | 16:22 |
| picard1421 | so when its asking about the GRUB | 16:23 |
| magicianlord | be aware that installing to a usb drive will normally take a long time | 16:23 |
| magicianlord | yes, GRUB | 16:23 |
| picard1421 | how about booting off hte usb drive? i understand install will be a pain? | 16:23 |
| vivek243 | hellow everyone.... | 16:23 |
| picard1421 | actual use off usb drive | 16:23 |
| magicianlord | the install is not a pain. you just have to put the boot loader on the usb drive instead | 16:23 |
| vivek243 | happy friendship day.. | 16:23 |
| skumara | what is ttyusb0 command for? | 16:24 |
| c3l | notme: is netmask this: Mask:255.255.240.0 ? | 16:24 |
| magicianlord | booting off it, you have to select to boot from a usb drive while your computer boots. this is usually done by pressing a function key, like F10 to bring up a menu that allows you to boot from the local hard drive, from cd, or usb, etc. | 16:24 |
| notme | yes | 16:24 |

| MarkSS | oops | 16:35 |

| MarkSS | I mean... | 16:35 |
| c3l | notme: you mean the '83.226.144.0/20' part? | 16:35 |

| notme | yes | 16:35 |

| c3l | notme: correcy, but theyre not getting a local ip, but they are on lan | 16:35 |
| dshbusiness | How can I see the empty space of my u-disk via command line? | 16:36 |
| rlankfo | Fernandos: you could open up the machine and look at the card.. lspci might give you some info | 16:36 |
| notme | c3l: got it, another way (if this doesn't work) it's to sniff a little onyour lan traffic | 16:36 |
| ncurses | c3l, i think that\s because you are connected to the modem and the modem broadcasts your static ip's | 16:36 |
| rlankfo | Fernandos: if you are dual booting you could use something like pcwizard in windwos | 16:36 |

| spooky | That was for MarkSS...sorry | 16:37 |
| martianixor | OK | 16:38 |
| rww | MarkSS: Umm, because they want to write to directories that aren't owned by the user, like /usr/loca/bin/ or /opt/ ? | 16:38 |
| MarkSS | Ah! That makes sense | 16:38 |

| Fernandos | rlankfo: how did you fix it? | 16:39 |
| meLon | I had public key authentication on my computer working. I login as another local user to perform a couple of tasks. It was working perfectly and then I played around and ultimately changed the permissions of the other user's home directory. Now I am being prompted with a password. I'm not 100% sure that it's a permission issue, as I believe you get an ERROR when trying to login and the keys have bad permissions, but I am looking for the s | 16:39 |

| martianixor | ubottu: answered | 16:40 |
| rww | MarkSS: Presumably, if it doesn't require admin access, it's installing to somewhere in your home directory | 16:40 |
| Fernandos | rlankfo: would you say I should install ndiswrapper ? | 16:40 |
| MarkSS | Are admin access and sudo access the same thing? | 16:40 |
| Fernandos | or are there known problems with my card? | 16:40 |
| rww | MarkSS: running a command with sudo would give it root or admin access, yes | 16:41 |
| ncurses | meLon, try usinf root and change the home directory ownership | 16:41 |

| oparia | extraclassic: Look in php.ini for the line with mysql.so, and uncomment it if it's commented | 17:31 |
| notme | meLon: it would need also x bit, so it should have 0700 | 17:31 |
| _pg_ | what is the gcc library and where is it located? | 17:31 |
| abhijit | _pg_, its c compiler | 17:32 |

| ubottu | _pg_: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 17:32 |
| _pg_ | abhijit: vmware tools is asking for it | 17:32 |
| extraclassic | I've found that line, uncommented it, pointed it to the right place, restarted apache, and it still doesn't work | 17:32 |
| headkase314 | _pg_: (G)NU (C) (C)ompiler. It is a tool to compile source code into programs. | 17:32 |
| _pg_ | headkase314: is it part of ubuntu by default? | 17:32 |
| IdleOne | _pg_: install the build-essential package | 17:33 |
| _pg_ | or do i need to go get it from somewhere? the installed cant find the directory | 17:33 |
| headkase314 | _pg_: sudo apt-get install build-essential to get it | 17:33 |
| notme | meLon: do you have access to the server? | 17:33 |
| meLon | notme, Yes. Working on the permissions | 17:33 |
| _pg_ | headkase314: jsut like that? or build-essential gcc | 17:33 |
| abhijit | !info gcc | _pg_ | 17:33 |
| ubottu | _pg_: gcc (source: gcc-defaults (1.93ubuntu1)): The GNU C compiler. In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.4.3-1ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 4 kB, installed size 64 kB | 17:33 |
| headkase314 | _pg_: but if you install software from source you lose all the benefits of apt-get like the management it does for you, always try to find a package first before compiling from source. | 17:33 |
| oparia | extraclassic: What about mysqli.so? The next line, usually | 17:34 |
| itsux2bu | oh.. thats how gcc got its name.. gnu c compiler | 17:34 |
| _pg_ | headkase314: its just in a vm im not too worried about it | 17:34 |
| itsux2bu | which vm are you using? | 17:34 |
| extraclassic | I tried using that file too, since I read it was recommended over the other, but no luck | 17:34 |
| headkase314 | _pg_: just build-essential, that pulls in gcc | 17:34 |

| temp | k whats up with the bluetooth retardedness in 10.04 i have to use an on screen kbd | 17:36 |
| notme | ok, but make sure it's called authorized_keys2 with a 2 in the end | 17:37 |
| shurane | When is ~/bash_login called in Ubuntu? | 17:37 |
| notme | also in the server, if you have a line AllowUsers you have to put the remote user in there | 17:37 |
| _pg_ | itsux2bu: i dont feel comfortable trying to convert you here but i also hang out in #mac if youre ever curious haha | 17:37 |
| itsux2bu | _pg_ does vmware charge for fusion? last offtopic question.. | 17:38 |
| _pg_ | itsux2bu: yeah they do | 17:38 |
| notme | meLon: and reload sshd's cfg | 17:38 |

| notme | thx IdleOne | 18:22 |

| ShapeShifter499 | does generating 4024 bit pgp keys take a long time? | 18:22 |
| trism | tle_: enable it and you will see them in glade | 18:22 |
| headkase314 | notme: There is also Dropbox OR UbuntuOne. You can save in those folders and have them automatically mirrored to a cloud? | 18:22 |
| tle_ | trism: ah ok, so its essentially a default theme issue then? Is there a way that I can override this within my application (or even better, Glade)? | 18:23 |

| trism | tle_: you can explicitly set the contents of the button (load the stock icon then attach it to the button), but this is really beyond the scope of this channel | 18:25 |
| notme | headkase314: kinda don't like the cloud for storage, let alone for my personal stuff. an external disc should be fine, just some way to add incremental | 18:25 |

| mikebeecham | xangua: nope | 18:38 |
| headkase314 | UberN00b: it is done on the command line, the preload functions set up the compatibility mode for skype and then you run skype in that compatibility environment. It can be a bit confusing especially when you need to create a menu item with the preloads. | 18:38 |
| sunson | Dr_Willis: I guess its because of ARP discovery claiming the route to nic2 of B to be going via nic2 of A only... unless of course, we login via nic1 and clear off the ARP cache. right? | 18:38 |
| ikonia | pharasoth: the xserver version is not important | 18:38 |
| mikebeecham | I've been away on holiday, come back to find that Ubuntu has some updates to do...I set it off and BOOM. | 18:38 |
| Dr_Willis | sunson: one of the featuires of network manager i THINK is to do the task. but still programs can get confused if eth's suddendly change. | 18:38 |
| ikonia | pharasoth: if you read the README in the nvidia packge it will explain it's limitations | 18:38 |
| roboto3785 | Hi all. Recently I've had some trouble keeping my WindowPickerApplet displayed. I've tried using Emerald, and have also added window manager (gnome-wm) to my startup, and still it hides itself on me... 'metacity --replace' will make it reappear but it usually disappears soon there after... any suggestions? | 18:38 |
| bugre | I'm problem whit | 18:38 |
| sunson | Dr_Willis: there is no NetworkManager here. this isn't a Desktop. its a 10.04 server. | 18:38 |
| bugre | smart lan usb | 18:38 |
| Dr_Willis | sunson: not sure. this is getting beyond my 'offical' network training. :) Im more of a hands on. | 18:38 |
| bugre | uw54 | 18:39 |
| Dr_Willis | sunson: wicd has a command line version. so it can work as a 'network manager' i belive. | 18:39 |
| headkase314 | exit | 18:39 |
| [thor] | itsux2bu: some sort of voodoo magic, or databases being matched to deviceIDs.. something like that. | 18:39 |
| UberN00b | headkase314 so how do i do that again ? XD | 18:39 |

| pharasoth | ok does anyone have nvidia 71.86.13 working and if so what distro are you using | 18:39 |
| sunson | Dr_Willis: yeah, we no use any funky stuff. just plain ol' /etc/network/interfaces managed via puppet | 18:39 |
| Dr_Willis | sunson: theres proberly guides for redundant/failsafe/network type connections | 18:39 |
| ikonia | pharasoth: this channel is for ubuntu support only | 18:39 |
| xangua | roboto3785: do you have compiz setting manager installed¿¿ | 18:40 |
| pharasoth | ok does anyone have nvidia 71.86.13 working and if so what version of ubuntu are you using | 18:40 |
| roboto3785 | Yep. | 18:40 |
| itsux2bu | ok.. so ubuntu has a built-in db of devices and looks it up somehow | 18:40 |
| ikonia | pharasoth: the nvidia drivers that are shipped as part of the ubuntu hardware drivers tool is what is supported | 18:40 |
| sunson | Dr_Willis: I'm trying to avoid the switch. we need the switch to talk to others... but A is a web server and B is a DB server. A talks to B too much. but also talks to others... | 18:40 |
| [thor] | itsux2bu: i lean more toward the voodoo magic myself. | 18:40 |
| xangua | roboto3785: ten better remove that window applet you use, open compiz settings and go to the window decoration plugin | 18:41 |
| headkase314 | UberN00b: You see where it says "bash -c"? In a console don't type that instead type everything between the two single quotes. Then Skype will run and you can test your webcam. Then if it works you can make the menu item with the bash -c part in it. | 18:41 |
| pharasoth | yeah but they are not working out for me. There is this graphical glitch around the cursor in opengl apps | 18:41 |
| itsux2bu | so the usb devices still need drivers but they keep details from the user | 18:41 |
| xangua | in Comand it says '/usr/bin/compiz-decorator' , replace it with 'emerald --replace' | 18:41 |
| headkase314 | UberN00b: Also in a console type: gstreamer-properties to get some web-cam configuration options to play with. | 18:41 |
| xangua | roboto3785* | 18:41 |
| roboto3785 | Ok, xanqua, I'll check that out. Thanks :) | 18:41 |
| pharasoth | i don't need "supported" drivers, i need functional drivers | 18:41 |
| pe4nut | ... | 18:41 |
| ikonia | pharasoth: ok, so you'll need to contact nvidia to log a bug. Have you checked your cards supported status with ubuntu package drivers | 18:42 |
| UberN00b | headkase314 thanks, gime a sec to try it | 18:42 |

| headkase314 | UberN00b: If you have Skype set to start everytime you log in (System > Preferences > Startup Applications then you just edit that and in the command to start you put the full "bash -c '..." line. Then log out and log back in to make sure it's done right. The hard part is over, you know the command you need now just need to get it into startup applications! | 18:45 |

| kreme191 | xangue: how do i do that | 19:03 |
| ZykoticK9 | eyoung101, so long as all goes as planned (it doesn't always ;) grub2 should be able to automatically find both ubuntu & gentoo kernels for booting, and grub1 will no longer be required. best of luck. | 19:03 |
| magicianlord | can ubuntu fix alsa please? | 19:03 |
| kreme191 | xangue: i checked them on skype but it did not recognized the camera, yet the video works | 19:04 |
| storf | IdleOne: what? | 19:04 |
| storf | where are you talking about? | 19:04 |
| ikonia | storf: I understand alsa may not be your thing, but check the status of your card's support in oss4 | 19:04 |
| IdleOne | I am done with you storf. I hope you can get the help you need. | 19:04 |
| ikonia | storf: it doesn't appear that oss4 is actually packaged into the ubuntu repos | 19:04 |
| xangua | magicianlord: ubuntu uses pulseaudio by defaul | 19:04 |
| Dr_Willis | magicianlord: sounds like an alsa bug. You did check the forums/bug reports? for your speicifc card and alsa? | 19:04 |

| ZykoticK9 | xangua, ubuntu uses pulseaudio which uses alsa for low level sound support. just sayin' | 19:05 |
| storf | IdleOne: yes ikonia helped me perfectly. I dont see why you bully new people like this. You dont have to be elitist or something | 19:05 |

| raven | Dr_Willis, only the size of all file of one single folder | 19:06 |
| xcthulhu | Hi! I | 19:06 |
| eyoung101 | so I should let ubuntu handle the booting, as such do i need to put ubuntus kernel and image in my gentoo boot partition? hda1= windows, ditching 4 ubuntu hda2=/boot hda3=/ hda4=swap | 19:06 |
| Dr_Willis | raven: not sure on what you mean.. but du has dozens of options | 19:06 |
| xcthulhu | I'm trying to wite a daemon that moves a *.tsv file every time one gets dumped into a folder | 19:06 |
| storf | ikonia: yes it is because my card is not in the driver or ssomething, but the driver should support it | 19:07 |
| raven | Dr_Willis, du always runs every folder | 19:07 |
| storf | the normal xonar is in it | 19:07 |
| xcthulhu | I'm wondering if anybody knows something that already does this | 19:07 |
| Dr_Willis | eyoung101: use of /boot/ partitions are a bit 'old skool' these days. | 19:07 |
| ikonia | eyoung101: you're going to have a mass ammount of problems, as gentoo's updates will want to update menu.lst, on the gentoo disk, and ubuntu will want to use grub2 in /etc on the ubuntu disk, neither will be aware of each other | 19:07 |
| storf | thank you ikonia | 19:07 |
| ZykoticK9 | eyoung101, ehhh. i wouldn't want to comment on your rather complex setup. you might want to ask in the gentoo irc channel for advice as well. good luck man. | 19:07 |
| ikonia | Dr_Willis: they used to work for dual boot situations, but with ubuntu's grub2 layout, it's a real pain now | 19:07 |
| Dr_Willis | du -hs bin/ | 19:07 |

| ohir | raven: man du. du -sh /top/path to get summary size | 19:07 |
| raven | Dr_Willis, ohir that's it tnx | 19:08 |
| eyoung101 | is there a way i can make ubuntu use grub 1? | 19:08 |
| lathan | hi, i had a question, if someone could offer some insight | 19:08 |
| ikonia | eyoung101: sure, look at the grub-legacy package | 19:08 |
| ohir | raven: any command you have on terminal has its manual | 19:08 |
| ohir | raven: man command will give you quick insight into | 19:09 |
| Dr_Willis | It pays to read the man pages.. :) or command --help | 19:09 |
| guydoingstuff | having trouble with grub2 and booting. In a live cd session and fdisk -l is not seeing one of my HDs | 19:09 |
| raven | ohir du not ;) | 19:09 |
| kreme191 | xangue: fixed it, thanx | 19:09 |
| xangua | sudo apt-get install grub eyoung101 | 19:09 |
| xangua | i don't know if that removes grub2 package or if you have to do something else | 19:09 |
| xangua | kreme191: better use Tab to auto-complete names | 19:10 |
| guydoingstuff | cant install grub to a drive i cant find | 19:10 |
| Dr_Willis | eyoung101: what are you going to gain by using grub1 on both os's ? | 19:10 |
| === pionar is now known as pionar|away | ||
| ZykoticK9 | guydoingstuff, grub2 is separate from hd detection. if "sudo fdisk -l" doesn't list your device you might want to have a look through "dmesg" and see what the kernel is saying (if anything) about your HDs. Is the HD seen in BIOS? | 19:10 |
| xcthulhu | Hmm... well, just in case someone ever runs across a log of this IRC chat through google or something, the answer to my question is that I want to use "watch" | 19:10 |
| kreme191 | xangue: what do u mean auto complete names | 19:10 |
| guydoingstuff | HD is seen in bios | 19:10 |
| eyoung101 | can i get that during the install? if i use grub 1 i can chainload ubuntu from Gentoo | 19:11 |
| Barnabas | guydoingstuff, can you find the related device in /dev? | 19:11 |
| Dr_Willis | eyoung101: you can proberly chainload with grub2 also.. or let grub2 handle the whold booting prlcess and not chainload. | 19:11 |
| guydoingstuff | i see it, should be dev/sda | 19:11 |
| guydoingstuff | dont really know what to do with it there though | 19:11 |

| josephseraos | oCean_, To change, do I need restart pc? | 19:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | eyoung101, there are some advanced grub options during an install (sorry not familiar with exactly what is there, other then install to different location) but i doubt grub1 is available... at that point. perhaps selecting not to install grub might be an option? | 19:13 |
| Kungfood | hello all | 19:13 |
| Barnabas | guydoingstuff, something happened to you partition table then | 19:13 |
| oCean_ | josephseraos: you can set is for now using the hostname command (hostname mynewhostname). Editing /etc/hostname will make it persistent at reboots | 19:14 |

| Kungfood | i installed 10.04 netbook edition on an old toshiba laptop (just a a place to learn linux, it was a free laptop) i cant seem to get the screen to display correctly, it have a black border and inch or two thick around it\ | 19:15 |
| frenchy | im trying to boot from a live cd and all i get at the bottom there is an icon that looks something like a film strip maybe, its rectangular and a circle with a person in it | 19:15 |
| frenchy | does anyone know what this means | 19:16 |
| guydoingstuff | yeah. it is a 150 hd. first 80gb are ubuntu 10.04. 40-50gb are ntfs xp sp3. remaining ext 3 i think | 19:16 |
| bullgard4 | What is the function of the /tmp/.ICE-unix directory? Does "ICE" here mean »Information_and_Content_Exchange" (specification)? | 19:16 |
| guydoingstuff | frenchy, use a serial keyboard and hit any key | 19:16 |
| Kungfood | i have checked the packages, and the correct package IS installed, for the trident driver | 19:16 |
| gnomefreak | Kungfood: it is best to use normal installer for laptops. netbook installer for netbooks | 19:16 |

| Kungfood | when i go to ch3eck the available resolutions though, 800x600 is the highest it will give me | 19:17 |
| guydoingstuff | i have no idea | 19:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | Kungfood, i'd recommend desktop over NBE if you have the room, NBE is very "limited". Good luck man. the screen issue sounds like graphics drivers, "lspci | grep -i vga" to find you video card ;) | 19:17 |

| Kungfood | ive got the iso for the regualr 10.04, but i wanted to sort this out first, reason being is that when it was an xp machine, it had the same issue until i got the right driver installed | 19:17 |

| magicianlord | Kungfood: what issue | 19:18 |
| guntbert | !hostname | josephseraos | 19:18 |
| ubottu | josephseraos: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 19:18 |
| Kungfood | lol yeah | 19:18 |
| oCean_ | josephseraos: nope, you have to change that too | 19:18 |
| Kungfood | i figure fixing this will teach me a bit about linux :) | 19:18 |
| lathan | can anyone help with my question? i can type it again if need be | 19:19 |
| Kungfood | can i msg someone so i wont lose responses in the flood? | 19:19 |

| lathan | so, i have an SD card with Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.4 on it. So, i boot from the SD card, and click to "test" ubuntu, but I also have a persistence file. Now, i want to install UNR on my hdd. how would i go about transferring my changes from my SD card's persistence file to my hdd install? | 19:19 |
| xangua | lukafulmine: gmail pop or imap¿¿ you first need to go to gmail web and enable one of those | 19:19 |
| headkase314 | lathan: Possible solution. Install Ubuntu to the hard drive. Then boot off the SD card and mount the Ubuntu HD. Then copy the files over and reboot into the Ubuntu HD. | 19:19 |
| Kungfood | ha, well i have been readin a bit a bout that...i did find a solution that involves editing the xorg.conf file, except that the file does not exist on my system... | 19:20 |
| xangua | lathan: just coppy your home | 19:20 |
| Dr_Willis | lathan: you can mount the persistantce file and copy files from it. via the proper 'mount' command | 19:20 |
| guntbert | Kungfood: you can tell your irc client to not show the joins/parts -- so the screen will not scroll so fast | 19:20 |
| Kungfood | ok | 19:20 |
| frenchy | ok unplugging the USB keyboard i still get the icon and when i press enter its just a black screen with a cursor flasshing at the top | 19:21 |
| lathan | does /home contain all my changes? | 19:21 |
| twoeightone | My CD/DVD drive doesnt respond anymore after I've installed Ubuntu. I am dualbooting, so it works just fine in Windows. Anyone experienced something like this? | 19:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | lathan, this isn't really what you are asking about but it's probably a lot easer to fresh install and simply backup you homedirectory files/settings and use !clone to reinstall apps. good luck. | 19:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | !clone | lathan | 19:21 |
| ubottu | lathan: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 19:21 |
| Dr_Willis | lathan: /home is where your users files are at. not sure what you mean about 'changes' | 19:21 |
| pjc | boas onde posso descarrgar o tema do ubuntu 9.10 (aquele amarelo) | 19:21 |
| headkase314 | lathan: All your settings are in /home some of them are hidden by having a . before the file name | 19:21 |
| mikebeecham | I wonder if anyone can explain this to me....I just did an update, which seemed to have corrupted my video drivers. I could not enable desktop effects and the only way I could repair the damage was to revert back to Nvidia drivers 173 - Can anyone help me understand why? | 19:21 |
| guntbert | !pt | pjc | 19:22 |
| ubottu | pjc: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. | 19:22 |
| lathan | by changes, i meant my installed programs and such | 19:22 |
| pjc | ok | 19:22 |
| Dr_Willis | lathan: the perisstant save file has all the 'changes' - your USERS setings will be in the /home dir on that pereisant file. | 19:22 |
| frenchy | guydoingstuff, unplugging the usb and using serial does the same thing | 19:23 |
| Kungfood | so if i know that i have the trident package installed, but i still see no xorg.conf file..what do i do? | 19:23 |
| lathan | okay, thanks everyone. i'll try it out later today | 19:23 |
| Dr_Willis | lathan: if you want to reinstall all the same apps. use that 'clone' factoid info. then copuy the files from the persisnats /home/ to your actual home. | 19:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Kungfood: X auto configures for the most part these day. No xorg.conf needed for most people | 19:23 |
| gnomefreak | guntbert: please use !bleh > nick instead of | | 19:23 |
| magicianlord | when you install xorg and nouveau at the same time, do you absolutely need to configure xorg.conf or is this optional for a single screen setup with native resolution? | 19:24 |
| lathan | okay, thanks | 19:24 |
| guydoingstuff | frenchy, then it must be tied to bios. WHen I get that icon you described, I have to either wait a minute for the installer session to kick in or use a serial keyboard | 19:24 |
| alexander_ | err... ebook reader and calibre wont open an ebook... it's just blank i guess | 19:24 |
| josephseraos | guntbert, When I set hostname, do I need restart pc? | 19:24 |
| Kungfood | is it possible to make an xorg.conf for just the purpose of configuring for this driver? | 19:24 |
| Dr_Willis | magicianlord: somnthing is not clear.. xorg uses nouveau, for nvidia cards.. and you dont need a xorg.conf normally these days | 19:24 |
| zack1 | I just installed 10.04 on a new hard drive i got for my laptop. Upon booting I recieve this error "error:out of disk." and i have a prompt that says "grob rescue>" is there something wrong with the harddrive or grub? | 19:24 |
| axisys | how do take a snapshot or memory of your system in linux? is solaris you run uadmin 5 0 to panic it and that saves the memory/kernel and dump into a disk | 19:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Kungfood: you could make one if yiou wanted to | 19:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Kungfood: my nvidia-settings tool makes one with a few settings in it for my systems. | 19:25 |
| guntbert | josephseraos: I would say no need for restarting | 19:25 |
| alexander_ | the only reason i installed linux was to /open this ebook and it wont work/ can anyone possibly help? | 19:25 |
| Kungfood | i guess i will go ahead and reinstall with desktop, then try and tackle this again | 19:26 |
| gnomefreak | alexander_: you would have to aska question before anyone can think about helping you | 19:26 |
| Dr_Willis | alexander_: theres ebook readers for windows I imagine.. but if it has some sort of DRM/protection on the ebook.. well.. that limits what you can do | 19:26 |
| alexander_ | yeah... basically ebook reader and calibre don't open it | 19:26 |
| alexander_ | and the barnes and noble program crashes | 19:26 |
| frenchy | guydoingstuff it goes away then i just get a black screenw ith a blinking cursor | 19:26 |

| magicianlord | Dr_Willis: so i can install nouveau and not configure anything? | 19:27 |
| gnomefreak | magicianlord: it is installed for you | 19:27 |
| zack1 | after installing 10.04 on a new hard drive for my laptop, I recieve this error "error:out of disk." upon booting. i have a prompt that says "grub rescue>" I'm at a loss as to what to do. I was also having problems installing xp as well. Is it the hard drive? | 19:27 |
| Dr_Willis | magicianlord: nouveau is imnstalled by default I thought. My nvidia cards DONT work right with it.. and it does seem to be the default | 19:27 |
| gnomefreak | magicianlord: install the nvidia drivers from jockey-gtk | 19:27 |
| gnomefreak | Dr_Willis: it is but no 3D support | 19:27 |
| Dr_Willis | gnomefreak: it barely works with 2d on my box. :) has a lot of other issues also. | 19:28 |
| lopek | i installed 'libircclient' library from ubuntu repository, tried to compile some example code and received this: http://pastebin.com/9pHzmKcx | 19:28 |

| alexander_ | i'm just going to call barnes and noble n try to get my money back | 19:29 |
| Dr_Willis | alexander_: good luck with that. | 19:29 |

| josephseraos | guntbert, Local Area Network | 19:36 |
| ilovefairuz | moesian: that's if you're in the directory of the command, if you're not, type the full path, like /opt/maya/bin/mayapy | 19:36 |

| jeiam | tensorpudding: windows xp sp3. i would like to set the computers up to run microsoft office 2003 and internet explorer 8 | 20:38 |
| tensorpudding | jeiam: if you switched from some version of Windows, you're not going to be able to use all of it, probably only a small portion | 20:38 |
| jeiam | how can i do this? | 20:38 |
| ilovefairuz | tensorpudding: eclipse requires xulrunner to render web content inside itself (like its welcome screen and web previews) | 20:38 |
| jpds | jeiam: You'd have to use Wine to run those, or just use alternatives like OpenOffice and Firefox. | 20:38 |
| tensorpudding | jeiam: I believe Crossover will support Office 2003 | 20:38 |
| ResQue | Thank you so much people, i dont think moving to linux would have been so easy if it wasnt for all the help people in this channel give for free. it can be very stressful sometimes, and talking to people who have done it before really helps. So THANK YOU to anyone how offers help for free in here. | 20:39 |
| tensorpudding | jeiam: It mgiht also run in Wine, but that's less certain. | 20:39 |
| ilovefairuz | jelam: but openoffice is very smiliar, free, and runs on windows, mac and gnu/linux | 20:39 |
| jpds | Office 2007 works fine under Wine 1.2. | 20:39 |
| tensorpudding | jeiam: CrossOver is not free though. | 20:39 |
| jeiam | jpds: unfortunately, alternatives to microsoft internet explorer 8 will not be justifiable, as our corporate intranet requires internet explore | 20:39 |
| jpds | jeiam: Ew. | 20:39 |
| nite | sup | 20:39 |
| jeiam | does microsoft develope an internet explorer for linux? | 20:40 |
| nite | why would you ever want to use it.. firefox always. | 20:40 |
| ResQue | jeiam: can you not just run ie with wine, or even terminal servies | 20:40 |
| ilovefairuz | jelam: get someone from google to talk to them about chrome and their Chrome Frame for IE | 20:40 |
| k00giez | jeiam: you can run it through wine | 20:40 |
| red | jeiam: no :P | 20:40 |
| headkase314 | jeiiam: I vouch for Crossover Linux. It runs Microsoft Office almost perfectly. Crossover is a paid app and unless there is a specific reason you can't work around by using OpenOffice then you should really consider the Open alternatives. | 20:40 |
| jpds | nite: You joined to late to see why. | 20:40 |
| ilovefairuz | k00giez: no, not IE8 | 20:41 |
| nite | it happens | 20:41 |
| k00giez | hi ilovefairuz really | 20:41 |
| tensorpudding | jeiam: It's unfortunate, but IE8 isn't supported in Wine or CrossOver | 20:41 |
| ResQue | jeiam: or run ie on windows inside a vm like sun virtualbox | 20:41 |
| tensorpudding | jeiam: I believe that IE7 is though | 20:41 |
| jeiam | does openoffice support the same functionality as microsoft office? does it support doc and xls? | 20:41 |
| ilovefairuz | jelam: using free/open source alternatives will cost less, be more manageable in the long term | 20:41 |
| nite | I've attempted to conform IE7 to Wine.. no luck, but it is possible | 20:41 |
| _hunter_ | jeiam - yes | 20:42 |
| tensorpudding | jeiam: It supports doc and xls, not sure about docx | 20:42 |
| red | openoffice is an awful awful suite | 20:42 |
| red | it works, but is not nearly at the level of ms office :p | 20:42 |
| jeiam | docx support is a must | 20:42 |
| _hunter_ | jeiam - but open office can't open microsoft data base | 20:42 |
| ilovefairuz | jelam: yes it does, please download a copy and conduct a feasibility test for your corporate | 20:42 |
| _hunter_ | jeiam - docx support too ;] | 20:42 |
| headkase314 | jeiam: It will read practically most files you receive and you can "save as.." to Microsoft Office formats but sometimes there are small errors in the layout of the documents you send to others. | 20:42 |
| ResQue | tensorpudding: i think it opens docx, but will not save it, in the offical release | 20:42 |
| tensorpudding | jeiam: It will not support everything that Office 2003 supports, you might have to give it a try and see yourself. | 20:42 |
| red | and foremost, the openoffice powerpoint equivalent is .. no words to describe it | 20:42 |
| wilton | #sexo | 20:42 |
| HeadAche | need install help (livecd/fdisk/aligning). sadly in a bit over my head. http://paste.ubuntu.com/471590/ | 20:43 |
| jeiam | docx support is good news - unfortunately it is an absolute imperative that it supports everything that microsoft office supports | 20:43 |
| jeiam | does openoffice support presentations? | 20:43 |
| ilovefairuz | jelam: you may also use the free web-based office suit from mircosoft to open any problematic documents | 20:43 |
| _hunter_ | emm, yes ? :P | 20:43 |
| erUSUL | jeiam: yes | 20:43 |
| _hunter_ | just like i said | 20:44 |
| _hunter_ | open office only don't support mdb | 20:44 |
| jeiam | okay, i will look into both of these suggestions - thank you all very much! | 20:44 |
| headkase314 | jeiam: Since you're already on Linux you should already have OpenOffice installed. Do some tests? Try to open some documents you already have and see the results? | 20:44 |
| _hunter_ | mdb = microsoft data base (access) | 20:44 |
| abhijit | _hunter_, what is mdb? | 20:44 |
| tensorpudding | jeiam: If Office support is paramount, and you have licenses for 2003 that you bought and paid for, it would probably be best to purchase CrossOver and use Office through that. | 20:44 |
| abhijit | _hunter_, ok | 20:44 |
| _hunter_ | abhijit, no problem | 20:44 |
| ilovefairuz | jelam: also check http://office.microsoft.com/ | 20:44 |
| nite | openoffice comes embedded already, most of the time.. but either way, easily doomed into your distro use. | 20:44 |
| jeiam | headkase314: i am on my home computer right now, but tomorrow i will look into openoffice support | 20:45 |
| subcool | Hey, i just goofed- I was trying to install tigervnc, and in the process i somehow uninstall xserver-common ... which appears to have uninstalled a bunch of stuff, but when i try to sudo apt-get install xserver-common, it fails | 20:45 |
| subcool | lil help- my boot is kinda messed up | 20:45 |
| jeiam | from what you have all said, it sounds like a decent replacement for the microsoft suite | 20:45 |
| erUSUL | jeiam: all this info can be gathered in the oo.org website | 20:45 |
| Tux414 | I have an acer aspire 3810TZ and my mic doesn't work at all. I have tried gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and it isn't helping much. | 20:45 |
| jeiam | erUSUL: thank you very much for your help :) | 20:46 |
| jeiam | okay, as for my second problem with internet explorer, does microsoft release an internet explorer for linux? | 20:46 |
| ilovefairuz | !sound | Tux414 | 20:46 |
| ubottu | Tux414: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 20:46 |
| _hunter_ | no, | 20:46 |
| nite | use firefox.. | 20:47 |
| nite | lol | 20:47 |
| _hunter_ | jeiam... | 20:47 |
| ilovefairuz | !who | _hunter_, nite | 20:47 |
| ubottu | _hunter_, nite: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 20:47 |
| jeiam | _hunter_ yes?_ | 20:47 |
| headkase314 | jeiam: Microsoft does not generally support Linux for reasons stemming from their business model. There is no Internet Explorer on Linux. | 20:47 |
| _hunter_ | !jeiam it's a heresy :P | 20:47 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 20:47 |
| madhu_ | hi | 20:47 |
| tensorpudding | i believe they once did release an IE for Unix-likes | 20:47 |
| tensorpudding | that was ages ago though | 20:48 |
| tensorpudding | Ah, IE5 was the last version supported on Unix | 20:48 |
| jeiam | headkase314 _hunter_: so there is no way of running internet explorer on ubuntu? | 20:48 |
| _hunter_ | !jeiam no | 20:48 |
| tensorpudding | jeiam: IE6 will run in Wine and CrossOver | 20:48 |
| abhijit | !ot | 20:48 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 20:48 |
| tensorpudding | jeiam: Newer versions are not going to work | 20:48 |
| madhu_ | i have a problem with pppoe , it alway show modem hangup | 20:48 |
| madhu_ | plz suggest me what to do | 20:48 |
| headkase314 | jeiam: As stated I'm pretty sure Crossover will run up to IE7 but for IE8 no. | 20:48 |
| jeiam | tensorpudding: my business requires internet explorer 8 | 20:48 |
| _hunter_ | !jeiam but you have other, like firefox, google chrome, opera | 20:48 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 20:48 |
| ilovefairuz | jelam: google releases a very good web browser for windows, mac and gnu/linux, it can be even used as the "engine" for existing IE installations, giving you the advantage of having the same IE interface but using a modern, very secure browser | 20:48 |
| tensorpudding | jeiam: There is an IE emulation mode in Google Chrome I think. | 20:49 |
| tensorpudding | Or was that Firefox that had that IE mode | 20:49 |
| ilovefairuz | tensorpudding: it's called, Chrome Frame | 20:49 |
| _hunter_ | i think that was firefox | 20:49 |
| _hunter_ | i don't see it in chrome | 20:49 |
| jeiam | i'm not sure if any of these suggestions are feasible - my business develops websites for the internet explorer browser | 20:49 |
| ilovefairuz | tensorpudding: _hunter_: firefox has an IE Tab, it's a different thing | 20:49 |
| tensorpudding | It was an extension | 20:49 |
| Tux414 | I tried other forums and I tried on ubuntu website and had no luck | 20:49 |
| ResQue | why does one need to use ie anyway, i mean it reads data in an opensource format? what do you have that needs I.E? | 20:49 |
| Tux414 | I had some help in ubuntu women but still having no luck | 20:50 |
| tensorpudding | ResQue: corporate intranet software requires IE, is what jeiam said | 20:50 |
| jeiam | ResQue: my business develops websites for internet explorer. | 20:50 |
| ilovefairuz | jelam: unless they use very specific technologies, like activex, using a different modern browser, won't be a problem at all | 20:50 |
| ResQue | tensorpudding: did he mention the software, 80% of the time i have had problems i just changed the refer head in firefox and it worked fine | 20:50 |
| jeiam | ilovefairuz: we require that our clients do not use a different browser :( | 20:50 |
| mawst | Netflix uses activex. | 20:50 |
| mawst | :/ | 20:50 |
| tensorpudding | In this world with Mac and Linux and mobile devices, requiring people to use IE is just ridiculous | 20:51 |
| erUSUL | ^ | 20:51 |
| ResQue | ^ | 20:51 |
| erUSUL | hear hear | 20:51 |
| TeslaTony | In this world with Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, etc. it's silly to require IE | 20:52 |
| wildeja | Hi could someone direct me to help on installing a third party package to ubuntu please, The program is btanks and the readme mentions 'scones' if that would be of any help in direction. Thanks | 20:52 |
| jeiam | tensorpudding: other browsers are not in high enough demand for our company to develop for them. there is an ie for mac, i am to understand? also, mobile devices have ie mobile. | 20:52 |
| erUSUL | not to mantion you must follow standars... and IE is *not* a standar | 20:52 |
| ResQue | with html 5 and the iphone i think we will be seeing a lot less of activex and flash, i hope so anyway | 20:52 |
| ilovefairuz | jelam: then you'll end having to tear your web interface and rebuilt it at some point n the future, supporting popular modern browsers is a lot easier now than before | 20:52 |
| TeslaTony | Screw the operating systems. You have to deal with all those browsers regardless of your platform | 20:52 |
| tensorpudding | jeiam: Which mobile devices use IE mobile? Surely no iPhone or Android phone or Blackberry? | 20:52 |
| headkase314 | jeiam: Your requirements are "locking-in" to Microsoft technologies. Open alternatives take more work but generally give you more control - if that is a priority for you - over your own information. | 20:52 |
| tensorpudding | jeiam: IE for Mac hasn't been supported in years. | 20:53 |
| Tux43 | My internet connection information speed says unknown or 1mbps does anyone know how to fix this? | 20:53 |
| jeiam | headkase314: microsoft technology is a standard in the workplace, which is why we require it :/ | 20:53 |
| _hunter_ | so why you install ubuntu? | 20:53 |
| jeiam | i was unaware that ubuntu lacked support for microsoft technology before i installed it | 20:53 |
| phaer | jeiam: Why do you just support ie? Most things should be quite easy in cross-browser dev nowadays. | 20:54 |
| ilovefairuz | jelam: most modern browsers just use one of two engines, gecko and webkit, so they work in a very very close manner | 20:54 |
| ResQue | jeiam: Hold on MS isnt the standard in the work place, its the standard in your work place | 20:54 |
| nite | VM Widows and use Office | 20:54 |
| jeiam | phaer: most of the sites we create often do not display correctly in sites other than ie... | 20:54 |
| tensorpudding | Virtualization probably isn't an option for underpowered office computers | 20:54 |
| nite | true... underpower is such a depressing contept.. I love my beast.. | 20:55 |
| ilovefairuz | jelam: than you have incompetent web developers | 20:55 |
| jeiam | ResQue: and other workplaces besides. | 20:55 |
| koios | hi all | 20:55 |
| ilovefairuz | jelam: professional web developers keep compatibility in mind at all times | 20:55 |
| nite | I often forget my VMs require such taxing on my processors.. | 20:55 |
| phaer | jeiam: Well then its a problem of your sites. It should be possible for any company to accept web standards and create a few workarounds for old browsers like ie 6. | 20:55 |
| sweetpi | ilovefairuz: amen | 20:55 |
| jeiam | ilovefairuz: i'm not allowed to comment on the skill of my web developers ;) | 20:55 |
| scribawf | firefox3.5 bundled w/ubuntu 10.04 fails/crashes to start what do I do? | 20:55 |
| headkase314 | jeiam: You need to re-think your situation very carefully. Open is a very sound position, proprietary technologies are the opposite of that. You need a top to bottom evaluation of your priorities. Google "Open Source vs. Proprietary" to get some reading materal. | 20:55 |
| koios | does anyone know a website indicating speed up of of Lucid at boot time ? | 20:55 |
| headkase314 | *material | 20:56 |
| ResQue | jeiam: i admit that a lot of work places use windows, but its not the standard every where, and 90% of windows network will be reliant on a linux kernal somewhere in there inferstructure | 20:56 |
| ilovefairuz | jeiam: no need to comment, it's obvious | 20:56 |
| phaer | scribawf: Try to start it from a terminal and look at the output. | 20:56 |
| tensorpudding | jeiam: I'm sure you're not solely responsible for your businesses decisions, and we're not trying to denigrate your business, but if you wish to only support Microsoft's software, you should definitely stick to Windows, because no other OS is able to | 20:56 |
| High_Priest | hi ppl, I need to add some things to xorg.conf to enable scroll button on my ThinkPad laptop but seems there is no xorg.conf in /etc/X11 | 20:56 |
| padhu | I want small games to play in ubuntu 10.04. please list out. Don't point playdeb. | 20:56 |
| phaer | scribawf: If you do not understand it, paste it on a pastebin site and put the link in here ;) | 20:56 |
| kyubutsu | take it to offtopic, folk | 20:56 |
| scribawf | phaer: OK will give it a try tu | 20:56 |
| ResQue | padhu: not so much a small game, but look for savage 2 | 20:56 |
| HeadAche | would very much like help with install. sadly in over my head (livecd/fdisk/aligning). http://paste.ubuntu.com/471596/ | 20:56 |
| nite | Micro$oft true facts.. proprietary.. | 20:57 |
| padhu | ResQue: sure | 20:57 |
| nite | hence.. OPEN SOURCE floats my thoughts... | 20:57 |
| wildeja | Hi could someone direct me to help on installing a third party package to ubuntu please, The program is btanks and the readme mentions 'scones' if that would be of any help in direction. Thanks | 20:57 |
| ResQue | padhu: its a very very additive game, works on mac, windows and linux nativly and is a mix between an RTS and a FPS | 20:57 |
| ResQue | padhu: and its free, there is a pro version but only for clans and scoreboards and stuff | 20:57 |
| phaer | padhu: Frogatto! Its a nice jump and run | 20:58 |
| padhu | ResQue: apt-get ? | 20:58 |
| ilovefairuz | wildeja: specify the name of the application | 20:58 |
| phaer | padhu: Or maybe OpenTyrian its a retro aracde shooter | 20:58 |
| wildeja | ilovefairuz, Battle Tanks | 20:58 |
| ResQue | padhu: no you will need to download it, they dont have a repo so apt-get will not work, you can download the binary from | 20:58 |
| nite | <<<< OpenSuse, Mint 8 & 9, BT4... choose your weapon.. | 20:58 |
| nite | apt-get... to got get.. etc.. | 20:58 |

| ResQue | padhu: i will give you a game later if you like, i got work todo now | 20:59 |
| ilovefairuz | wildeja: sudo apt-get install btanks | 20:59 |
| BiggFREE | ilovefairuz: What is ndiswrapper ? | 20:59 |
| wildeja | ilovefairuz, I downloaded the latest version v0.98 but now realise i dont have a clue to get it working | 20:59 |
| BiggFREE | Is it right written ? | 21:00 |
| nite | ndiswrapper provides setup possibilities for your wiress NICs | 21:00 |
| padhu | ResQue: sure, it is for childrens 10 year old | 21:00 |
| ilovefairuz | wildeja: ubuntu has the most recent version, use the command i've given you | 21:00 |
| erUSUL | wildeja: it seems to be a mod for warcraft iii you need the game installed ( dunno if it works in wine) | 21:00 |
| BiggFREE | nite ... ty | 21:00 |
| nite | normally is the only way of getting your wireless to recognize in any of the Ubuntu distros | 21:00 |
| erUSUL | wildeja: either way no very ontopic here | 21:00 |
| ResQue | padhu: also if you have any ideas for simple games let me know, i run a small amature games dev team. and we are focusing on 2d cross platform games at the moment | 21:00 |
| jeiam | i would love to switch entirely to non-proprietary software, but at the moment my business explicitly requires internet explorer :/ | 21:00 |
| ilovefairuz | BiggFREE: it's a wrapper to use windows wireless drivers on gnu/linux | 21:00 |
| vershan | hi there guys, im using ubuntu 10.10 alpha 1 - any ideas on upgrading to alpha 2 instead of downloading it | 21:01 |

| stukad | hey, anyone tryed http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ (10.10) ? | 21:01 |
| wildeja | erUSUL, Not talking about warcraft, must be mix up, i asked about installing program to ubuntu | 21:01 |
| ResQue | jeiam: i think you need to run internet explorer then haha | 21:01 |
| jeiam | so until non-proprietary software is the norm, i'm afraid i must stick to my companies wishes | 21:01 |
| padhu | ResQue: ok | 21:01 |
| nite | Jeiam, I understand and it's unfortunate.. so, keep your head in the opensource game and your work status in the Micro-shit areas.. it'll get better sooner or later.. | 21:01 |
| wildeja | erUSUL, sorry | 21:01 |

| grubtrouble | hi, is there a safe way to update grub/ update linux kernel? i keep getting an unbootable system :( | 21:47 |
| cablop | thanks ilovefairuz | 21:47 |
| grubtrouble | i have a double boot windows/ ubuntu but im scared to update | 21:47 |
| Cheval_Boiteux | r4z0rw0lf, when I try to repair the boot of windows with its DVD, the OS isn't recognize. So I can't try commands like "Bootrec.exe /Fixmbr". You understand ? | 21:47 |
| mcnellis | How can I create a link that will go to the actual link's final path? | 21:48 |
| guntbert | cablop: don't use sudo passwd ... to change the password, instead use the "me" menu, that way the keyring password should stay in sync | 21:48 |
| ilovefairuz | grubtrouble: boot livecd and open a terminal: pastebin the output of: sudo fdisk -l | 21:48 |
| n0pz | Having an issue, desktop effects say they cannot enable. I tried activating proprietary drivers but it says, diffrent version of this recommended driver is in use. Lets me activate but then i restart to blinking cursor and have to recover mode reset Xorg.conf. | 21:48 |

| andrewax | hi | 21:48 |
| andrewax | That's issue with caps lock was really a bug | 21:49 |
| lathan | anyone? | 21:49 |
| cablop | guntbert: where's that me menu? | 21:49 |
| edbian | n0pz, Check out the compiz check script! http://forlong.blogage.de/entries/pages/Compiz-Check | 21:49 |
| grubtrouble | ilovefairuz, http://pastebin.com/Pf0VFyUd | 21:49 |
| mcnellis | e.g. I have my ~/Documents folder link to ~/Dropbox/Documents but I'd like ~/Documents to essentially redirect to ~/Dropbox/Documents (so my right click menu has the Dropbox features) | 21:49 |
| n0pz | When i go to nvidia settings it says you are not currently using a nvidia driver please use Xorg -Nvidia to create Xorg.conf then i do it and restart to same blinking cursor/login. | 21:49 |
| n0pz | edbian okay will do. :) | 21:49 |
| edbian | n0pz, It's very helpful :) | 21:50 |
| ilovefairuz | grubtrouble: you have two gnu/linux installations? which one is the most recent version ? | 21:50 |
| cablop | mcnellis: maybe thtough a hardlink | 21:50 |
| guntbert | cablop: in the right upper corner you find your user name , click on that and select the first entry | 21:50 |
| andrewax | does mouse works in screen in your Ubuntu installation? | 21:50 |
| andrewax | In X.Org, it works if I type TERM=xterm | 21:50 |
| r4z0rw0lf | Cheval_Boiteux: Yeah I understand, What exactly is wrong with your system? did you install GRUB over the original MBR? | 21:51 |
| andrewax | but in console, with gpm, not | 21:51 |
| === spiros is now known as spyrosebastos | ||
| grubtrouble | ilovefairuz, i had an ubuntu installed from windows.. but during update it became unbootable.. so i reinstalled froma livecd this time | 21:51 |
| ilovefairuz | mcnellis: doesn't work this way | 21:51 |
| n0pz | edbian I dled and ran it, it said more than one graphics chip detected. Cannot handle that. Aborted. | 21:51 |
| cablop | guntbert: ah! i've never realized it as my me menu... i thopught that was just an ubuntu one thing | 21:51 |
| edbian | n0pz, Do you have more than one graphics card installed or something? | 21:51 |
| ilovefairuz | grubtrouble: so which one has ubuntu? sd5 or sd7? | 21:51 |
| andrewax | ilovefairus: do you installed ubuntu with wubi? | 21:51 |
| n0pz | Its a laptop and I believe it has both Intel & Nvidia graphics. One for saving power and one to run for high performance. | 21:52 |
| Utrinqueparatus | why doesnt the keyboard work on 10.04 virtualised in vmware workstation 7? | 21:52 |
| ilovefairuz | andrewax: not at all | 21:52 |
| grubtrouble | ilovefairuz, /dev/sda7 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro) | 21:52 |
| ilovefairuz | andrewax: but why ? | 21:52 |
| surfereddie | Enter text here...hello all | 21:52 |
| edbian | andrewax, It is possible to install using wubi but that is not a normal install. The proper way is to use a live CD and create a new partition(s) for ubuntu. | 21:52 |
| edbian | n0pz, MM sounds very tricky. I'm not sure what to do. Never worked with anything like that before! | 21:52 |
| grubtrouble | i had a wubi too that went wrong :( | 21:53 |
| ilovefairuz | grubtrouble: ok type, in a terminal: sudo mount /dev/sda7 /mnt | 21:53 |
| andrewax | ilovefairus: I know what, if you install Ubuntu inside windows with wubi | 21:53 |
| surfereddie | anybody using NX server? | 21:53 |
| edbian | surfereddie, Hi | 21:53 |
| d9500 | lathan, does your computer see the persistent-SD card as simply another /dev/sdX device? | 21:53 |
| n0pz | edbian That blows. =( lol. Thanks anyways. =) | 21:53 |
| andrewax | ilovefairus: and Ubuntu doesnot boots anymore | 21:53 |
| mcphail | surfereddie: occasionally | 21:53 |
| edbian | n0pz, Good luck. Make a forum post. !forums | 21:53 |
| guntbert | cablop: :-), you can change your password from CLI too -- just type passwd (don't use sudo for this) | 21:53 |
| andrewax | ilovefairus: a simple chkdsk in windows ca solve this problem | 21:53 |
| edbian | !forums | 21:53 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums. | 21:53 |
| grubtrouble | ilovefairuz, it's already mounted. im in it now.. i just fear that when i upgrade grub it will become unbootable again | 21:53 |
| ilovefairuz | grubtrouble: then: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda | 21:53 |
| nubix | Hey, someone here who has experience with installing the 10.04 version from an usb drive? I got some trouble because the installation says its not possible to determine the codename for the release. | 21:53 |
| nubix | it's the alternate install | 21:54 |
| andrewax | ilovefairus: but if Ubuntu is phisically installed, you can try a fsck or reinstall grub | 21:54 |
| grubtrouble | im pretty sure updating grub will make it unbootable, since it's in such a weird state now :( | 21:54 |
| ilovefairuz | grubtrouble: make what unbootable? | 21:54 |
| grubtrouble | my computer | 21:55 |
| ilovefairuz | grubtrouble: if ubuntu is installed correctly on sda7, then it will work just fine | 21:55 |
| mcnellis | cablop: hard link not allowed for a directory it seems. ilovefairuz so it's impossible to get the original path? | 21:55 |
| surfereddie | anybody know the command to exit the text editor ie. :sudo ti /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 21:55 |
| magicianlord | sda7? why do you have 7 partitions | 21:55 |
| ilovefairuz | grubtrouble: (and assuming you did BOTH commands) | 21:55 |
| grubtrouble | i already spend 2 days getting it back to this state | 21:55 |
| nikitis | cd #gnome | 21:55 |
| andrewax | surfereddie what text editor? | 21:56 |
| surfereddie | when you do "sudo ti" | 21:56 |
| grubtrouble | if i run the update manager and it upgrades grub and kernel, how can i be sure it wont be in a nonbootable state again? | 21:56 |
| ilovefairuz | mcnellis: the extra features are only for that special directory | 21:56 |
| High_Priest | if I remove tcl/tk 8.4 installation (I installed 8.5) will I break something? | 21:56 |
| erUSUL | surfereddie: vi ? press ":q" then enter | 21:56 |
| r4z0rw0lf | #cbase | 21:56 |
| andrewax | i never hear about ti | 21:56 |
| surfereddie | where in the heck do you find that | 21:56 |
| andrewax | in vi you can type :q! | 21:56 |
| erUSUL | High_Priest: try; if something depends on it apt will tell you | 21:56 |
| High_Priest | erUSUL, thanks | 21:57 |
| mcnellis | ilovefairuz: yes I know, that's why I want to get redirected to the special directory lol | 21:57 |
| surfereddie | thanks both of you | 21:57 |
| ilovefairuz | grubtrouble: to what state? if ubuntu is booting fine now, then what is your problem ? | 21:57 |
| erUSUL | surfereddie: if you want to save changes you have to do ":wq" | 21:57 |
| Tall | can you help-me? | 21:57 |
| erUSUL | surfereddie: in the future use nano. is easier. | 21:57 |
| joona | Tall: What's your problem? | 21:57 |
| Tall | channel in Portugueses is #Ubuntu_BR? | 21:57 |
| grubtrouble | my problem is , when grub updates, it runs scripts and overwrites things... making it unbootable... andi have to spend another 2 days getting it back in order :(\ | 21:57 |
| surfereddie | I'm just trying to get NX server running so I can practice without haveing to switch monitors and keyboards | 21:58 |
| ilovefairuz | Tall: ubuntu-br | 21:58 |
| andrewax | surfereddie vi can be very hard for beginners. Neither I dominate it | 21:58 |
| lathan | so, can anyone tell me what I would need to do in this situation? I have a 2 GB SD card with a Live-Persistent version of Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.04 on it. Now, I want to install this on my internal HDD, but I want to transfer all the stuff from my SD version to the full install (as i've installed programs, made changes to the OS, etc.). I would just copy the SD to the HDD completely, but the SD is a "live" version. any ideas anyone? | 21:58 |
| Tall | great | 21:58 |
| andrewax | surfereddie you can try nano or mcedit what are more friendly | 21:58 |
| ilovefairuz | grubtrouble: then use the commands i've given you | 21:59 |
| surfereddie | I nano in the software center? | 21:59 |
| andrewax | nano alread come installed ;) | 21:59 |
| ilovefairuz | surfereddie: yes it is | 21:59 |
| erUSUL | surfereddie: is installed by default | 21:59 |
| andrewax | yes | 21:59 |
| surfereddie | andreway, do you use NX server? | 21:59 |
| andrewax | just type nano | 21:59 |
| andrewax | no | 21:59 |
| |grzesag| | Hi I need to set up ssl over http using virtual host? | 21:59 |
| grubtrouble | ilovefairuz, what guarantee do i have grub is in an ok state after running that? | 21:59 |
| andrewax | there is no nano available? | 21:59 |
| grubtrouble | how can i tell ? | 21:59 |
| ilovefairuz | !who | andrewax | 21:59 |
| ubottu | andrewax: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 21:59 |

| magicianlord | lathan: copy your home directory files, but reinstall the apps | 22:00 |
| ilovefairuz | grubtrouble: tell what? | 22:00 |
| lathan | there's no way to avoid reinstalling everything? | 22:00 |
| magicianlord | !bacon | 22:00 |
| d9500 | lathan, see my earlier message. if the machine sees it as another standard disk drive (that is, a /dev/sdX device) then you may be able to clone it. | 22:00 |
| grubtrouble | ilovefairuz, tell me it will give me a boot menu at bootup in stead of a prompt that i dont undersatnd | 22:00 |
| magicianlord | youhave to write the image | 22:00 |
| magicianlord | to copy all | 22:01 |
| Tall | BrOffice waht wireter pps? | 22:01 |
| lathan | yeah, someone mentioned !clone, but i don't know what that means | 22:01 |
| magicianlord | you'd have to use clonezilla or something similar | 22:01 |
| d9500 | lathan, are you in the live-persistent sd session now? | 22:01 |
| ilovefairuz | grubtrouble: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 , there you go, you're on your own from now | 22:01 |

| lathan | i'm booting up gparted right now | 22:01 |
| frenchy | is there a way to get HD resolutions for an nvidia card without an xorg.conf? | 22:02 |
| lathan | my internal HDD is sda and my live-persistent sd is sdc | 22:02 |
| grubtrouble | dont things like grub get tested before they put an update in the update manager? :/ sorry but i have 0 faith left in it running well | 22:02 |
| d9500 | ok, then the machine sees it as a /dev/sdX device, so you're good. you should, I think (never tried it) be able to use clonezilla in disk-to disk mode to clone the SD t a hard drive. | 22:03 |
| c3l | frenchy: the nvidia controll center doesnt wkrk? | 22:03 |
| lathan | would that make the HDD version a live install though? and not a full-install? | 22:03 |
| irvken | what does it mean if you have agreen dot in front of your nick in the nicklist in xchat | 22:03 |
| gotroot | Hello, I have a Ubuntu Server. I have installed IRC-Hybrid, it has compiled and installed fine. However I can't connect to 127.0.0.1. How come? | 22:03 |
| surfereddie | mcphail, you just helping out in here? | 22:04 |
| mcphail | surfereddie: just lurking tbh | 22:04 |
| Hilikus | gotroot: are you sure the server's running? | 22:04 |
| d9500 | lathan, is the drive itself a live-only? or totally persistent, so that if you install in app when running ubuntu off the SD, then reboot, the app is still there? | 22:04 |
| mcphail | surfereddie: i was looking out an nxserver howto i wrote a while ago... | 22:04 |
| gotroot | Hilikus, how do I double check? | 22:04 |
| nathanhelp | have anyone upgraded from 9:10 to 10.04 overtop of their previous installation? I've heard some people only like installing each version, from a clean install. What are the pro's and cons to each method? | 22:04 |
| guntbert | irvken: you are op in that channel | 22:04 |
| Hilikus | gotroot: ps aux | grep serverName | 22:05 |
| surfereddie | mcphail - thanks I've been trying to figure it out for days | 22:05 |
| lathan | yes, it is persistent, that is, if i install something, it is still on my SD when i reboot. however, when ubuntu starts up i still click "test ubuntu" and i want to avoid this with a full install | 22:05 |
| magicianlord | nathanhelp: quicker to do fresh intall and less conflict. | 22:05 |
| lathan | but at the same time, i want to keep the changes I made to my SD when I install UNR fully to my HDD | 22:05 |
| nathanhelp | magicianlord :howso? | 22:05 |
| iksf | fresh installs never go wrong really, and get fresh new better performance etc | 22:05 |
| ilovefairuz | nathanhelp: clean install will likely give you a lot less problems, upgrade will keep all your existing settings intact, you can copy your home directory though | 22:05 |
| surfereddie | mcphail - i'd settle for local connection just so I don't have to switch monitor and keyboard | 22:06 |
| gotroot | Hilikus, I never set a servername. I can't find the ircd.conf anywhere. However, from the looks of ps aux, the server isn't running | 22:06 |
| mcphail | surfereddie: http://pastebin.com/RB4knjuM - it is a bit out of date as you'll see, but uses google's nx stuff | 22:06 |
| Hilikus | nathanhelp: i usually upgrade. most of the times i have no problems. the advtanges is that i highly customize everything so a fresh install needs customization all over again | 22:06 |
| Hilikus | gotroot: servername i mean the name of the process | 22:06 |
| surfereddie | mcphail - have you ever done it? I'd hate to switch to another product. | 22:06 |
| nathanhelp | Hilikus, yes that's where I'm leaning too. (customisation) | 22:06 |
| gotroot | gotroot 380 0.0 0.0 3320 792 pts/1 S+ 22:06 0:00 grep --color=auto irc | 22:06 |
| mcphail | surfereddie: see my paste - that's how i did it | 22:07 |
| gotroot | I think that's the server? | 22:07 |
| Hilikus | gotroot: if the process is called IRC-daemon then to grep IRC-daemon | 22:07 |
| Hilikus | gotroot: no, that's the grep command | 22:07 |
| mcphail | surfereddie: i'm not using it at present | 22:07 |
| z0r0 | what are alternative methods for installing ubuntu? Is there a way to run it on the same filesystem as my winxp? | 22:07 |
| ilovefairuz | gotroot: no, that's 'grep' itself | 22:07 |
| nathanhelp | is there a way to quickly "copy" customisations onto a new fresh install? | 22:07 |
| Hilikus | gotroot: look at the last column | 22:07 |
| gotroot | Ahh, sorry :) | 22:07 |
| ilovefairuz | !install | z0r0 | 22:07 |
| ubottu | z0r0: 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 | 22:07 |
| gotroot | Hilikus: I don't think it's running. | 22:07 |
| Hilikus | gotroot: are you sure the server has irc in its name? | 22:08 |
| ResQue | goodbye all | 22:08 |
| lathan | where did my helper go? :-p | 22:08 |
| ilovefairuz | z0r0: you're probably looking for the wubi method | 22:08 |
| Hilikus | gotroot: if it's not running you need to start it using "service" | 22:08 |
| d9500 | lathan, cloning will keep the changes, but i'm guessing that there's something on the persistent sd, some kind of script or program that runs at boot, that generates that "try ubuntu" screen, so clozing wouldn't remove it | 22:08 |
| d9500 | cloning* | 22:08 |
| gotroot | I'm not sure, I downloaded the server from irc-hybrid.com, done ./configure then sudo make && sudo make install | 22:08 |
| Hilikus | gotroot: sudo service irc_whatever start | 22:08 |
| z0r0 | ilovefairuz: Thanks : ) | 22:08 |
| hiexpo | !wubi > z0r0 | 22:08 |
| ubottu | z0r0, please see my private message | 22:08 |
| Hilikus | gotroot: why are you compiling it?? why not get it from the repos? | 22:09 |
| gotroot | Hilikus: I followed the tutorial on the ubuntu website. | 22:09 |
| Hilikus | gotroot: what's the name of the server | 22:09 |
| jrib | gotroot: where exactly? | 22:09 |
| erUSUL | !wubi > z0r0 | 22:09 |
| ubottu | z0r0, please see my private message | 22:09 |

| IdleOne | gotroot: I suggest you read the irc-hybrid documentation | 22:09 |
| magicianlord | hmm | 22:09 |
| frenchy | c3l, it doesnt have HD resolutions | 22:09 |
| surfereddie | mcphail - whoa that looks good. but the problem I think is something in my server authorization. I'm to much of a networking noob | 22:10 |
| erUSUL | z0r0: ooops sorry; did not see the previous one | 22:10 |
| hiexpo | erUSUL, ^ | 22:10 |
| surfereddie | mcphail- thanks again peace | 22:10 |
| lathan | so, what's the difference between full install and live-persistent, aside from the prompt to try/install ubuntu? i tried to do a full install to the 2GB SD, but it said I needed 2.4 GB free and my SD is only 2GB, so somehow the live-persistent, is only 700MB allowing for 1.3 GB of persistence. What makes the full-install so much bigger? | 22:10 |
| gotroot | Hilikus, jrib, c31, IdleOne: I read it from the tutorial here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IrcServer | 22:10 |
| z0r0 | erUSUL: no prob. | 22:10 |
| c3l | frenchy: thats strange, it should have all available resolutions. are you sure your GPU can handle it? | 22:10 |
| Hilikus | gotroot: use the first method they mentioned, not the second one | 22:10 |
| IdleOne | gotroot: try /server localhost | 22:10 |
| hiexpo | live persistant is on an usbdrive > while a full instakk is on harddrive os | 22:11 |
| hiexpo | ^install | 22:11 |
| Dr_Willis | lathan: its a trade off of speed and ram ussage. | 22:11 |
| c3l | lathan: I guess the full one contains all packages unpoacked etc, go for the smaller one if you just want to install | 22:11 |
| gotroot | IdleOne: It says unable to connect. | 22:11 |
| Hilikus | gotroot: sudo apt-get install ircd-hybrid | 22:11 |
| gotroot | Hilikus: I will try that now. Thankyou. | 22:11 |
| frenchy | c3l, yes it works fine on windows, its going to a rear projection HDTV throught the s-video out | 22:11 |
| IdleOne | gotroot: then the server is not running | 22:11 |
| c3l | lathan: it contains all packages, or at least downloads them if any is missing after the install is complete | 22:11 |
| Dr_Willis | lathan: also if you ever try to 'update/upgrade' a live-persis. setup. You will fill up that 1.3gb real real fast | 22:11 |
| c3l | frenchy: can svideo take hd? | 22:12 |
| gotroot | Hilikus: Thankyou! :) It works! | 22:12 |
| c3l | frenchy: im sorry, I dont know much about graphics | 22:12 |
| lathan | okay, so i guess i will just start over with a full install and just install things again as i need them | 22:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Svideo can not do 'HD' video last i checked. :) | 22:12 |
| Hilikus | gotroot: if you install from source you don't get all the post-installation configuration and you won't be notified of updates | 22:12 |
| anon_ | In Nautilus, how do I move the tabs to the top? | 22:12 |
| Dr_Willis | lathan: a full install may not fit on a 2gb flash. I would suggest a 4 to 8gb at a min | 22:12 |
| Hilikus | gotroot: always go for packaged installations | 22:13 |
| gotroot | Hilikus: Thankyou, I will always try the repo's first from now on :) | 22:13 |
| lathan | Dr_Willis: yeah, my netbook HDD has a 4 GB partition, i will do a full install on that | 22:13 |
| hiexpo | fulll install is best on an 8 gig | 22:13 |
| Dr_Willis | lathan: a Hute 4gb! :0 I got 5+GB in just wallpaper and fonts. :) | 22:13 |
| c3l | gotroot: I must ask, why do you want to run your own irc server? there are pleny of servers, a channel or two would suffice | 22:14 |
| d9500 | lathan, yes, what Dr_Willis said. That's not really a lot of space. You may also want to try something like Lubuntu (base ubuntu install but w/ LXDE instead of Gnome) which is a little smaller | 22:14 |
| wolfric | can someone check this out for me... go cat /bin/rmdir and ctrl + z half way through and tell me what their terminal looks like | 22:14 |
| lathan | unfortunately, the OS that comes with an EEEPC 901 is horrible. and i don't have many options with the way they used 2 separate drives... | 22:14 |
| wolfric | it seems to completely screw up the font. if i just rerun the command it fixes it but until then (even logging in and out) it stays all screwed up | 22:15 |
| erUSUL | wolfric: that's spected | 22:15 |
| lathan | how do i refer to someone in the chat (i'm using pidgin)? | 22:15 |
| wolfric | why does it happen? | 22:15 |
| c3l | lathan: or just skip the whole DE, use some slim wm and youre fine (if youre used to do some tinkering on your own to make things appear as you want) | 22:15 |
| wolfric | lathan: usually just like this | 22:16 |
| erUSUL | wolfric: dumping random binary data in a terminal is a secure way to desconfigure it... | 22:16 |
| lathan | can I click on someone's name or i type it myself? | 22:16 |
| Hilikus | lathan: most clients have auto completion, type some keys and press tab | 22:16 |
| hiexpo | lathan, just like here | 22:16 |
| wolfric | erusul: could you do anything malicious with it? | 22:16 |
| erUSUL | wolfric: the binary data has code/char secuences ( scape codes) that reprogram the terminal emulator | 22:16 |
| lathan | Hilikus: thanks, that worked | 22:17 |
| hiexpo | ^ = xchat tab | 22:17 |
| Dr_Willis | wolfric: use the 'reset' command to reset the terminal back to normal.. and stop catting 'binaries' to the terminal :) | 22:17 |
| Hilikus | lathan: np | 22:17 |
| lathan | c3l: what did you mean by skipping the whole DE (?) and use slim wm? | 22:17 |
| erUSUL | wolfric: you can type "reset" hit enter when that happens ( there is a key combo too iirc ) | 22:17 |
| wolfric | erusul: anyway to prevent it? other than catting binaries :) | 22:17 |
| Dr_Willis | wolfric: its printing binary to the terminal. so its printing escape codes and other special termional codes. | 22:18 |
| wolfric | i was just curious if they were all compiled or were any shell scripts | 22:18 |
| gotroot | Hilikus: Sorry to bother you again, in the ircd.conf it says to encrypt my password using '/usr/bin/mkpasswd' however that doesn't exist on my system... | 22:18 |
| Dr_Willis | wolfric: use the 'file' command on a binary. | 22:18 |
| erUSUL | wolfric: check with "file" first | 22:18 |
| Hilikus | gotroot: just type that in a terminal and see if ubuntu suggests a package that contains that bin | 22:18 |
| Hilikus | gotroot: otherwise, google it | 22:18 |
| gotroot | Hilikus: Tried that, nothing. Will google. | 22:19 |
| wolfric | ah thanks @dr_willis @ erusul :) | 22:19 |
| Hilikus | gotroot: it worked for me | 22:19 |
| lathan | i guess c3l is gone. So, for my 4 GB partition on my EEEPC 901. would I be better off with UNR or Lubuntu? | 22:19 |
| Hilikus | gotroot: hilikus@mazinger:~$ mkpasswd | 22:19 |
| Hilikus | The program 'mkpasswd' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: | 22:19 |
| erUSUL | wolfric: most people do not realize that xterm and its ilk actually are emulating real hardware... (they are colling emulator for a reason ) | 22:20 |
| Hilikus | gotroot: it suggested the right package | 22:20 |
| c3l | lathan: gnome and KDE are DE (desktop environments) shipped with loads of packages and stuff, if youre short of space you should consider using a lightweight DE as previously stated, or like me for instance. im using xmonad and trayer. thats all I need, and its slim and powerfull :) | 22:20 |
| c3l | lathan: how familiar are you with linux and so on? | 22:21 |
| High_Priest | what audio player do you recommend? I was using amarok before while I was on kde but I'd satisfy with some small nice clean player (playlist/controls) | 22:21 |
| erUSUL | High_Priest: try the default Rhythmbox; | 22:21 |
| lathan | c3l: uh, not a lot. i can install things, i'm familiar with partitioning, but i don't stray to far from mainstream OSes as they have the most software available | 22:22 |
| headkase314 | High_Priest: Seconded, Rhythmbox - especially with the radio browser addon from the repositories : 1000's of stations! | 22:22 |
| c3l | lathan: to someone who is familiar with linux and looking for something really lightweight Id suggest archlinux, it doesnt really "just work", it requires some tinkering | 22:22 |
| c3l | lathan: okay, 4 gig you say. gimme a sec | 22:22 |
| headkase314 | High_Priest: Rhythmbox comes with some radio functionality but the add on is a different one to give many more stations. | 22:23 |
| nikitis | On modern 10.04, how does one remotely log into a distribution before having to actually log onto gdm? | 22:23 |
| lathan | c3l: my only problem with less mainstream distros is usually the software that's available. or rather, fewer programs that can be easily installed. (for instance, ubuntu is usually an option when downloading a program). | 22:23 |
| c3l | lathan: archlinux has it all | 22:23 |
| c3l | lathan: check gentoo too | 22:24 |
| lathan | i wanted to try out chromium os, but i don't have a 64-bit to compile the code | 22:24 |
| lathan | c3l: thanks, i'll check out those two | 22:24 |
| c3l | or just 'plain' debian. thats what ubuntu is in the core. | 22:24 |
| karlo | anyone know any program or command (for terminal) which I can see clipboard history ? | 22:26 |
| c3l | "Damn Small Linux is a very versatile 50MB mini desktop oriented Linux distribution." | 22:27 |
| lathan | c3l: so will i have to worry about not being able to do something on archlinux that i could easily do on ubuntu? could i use wine for instance? | 22:27 |
| headkase314 | karlo: Check out Pastie -> http://www.webupd8.org/2010/06/pastie-very-simple-clipboard-manager.html | 22:27 |

| c3l | lathan: yeah, all common packages exists in the repos, and alot less common too. the community is really helpful and they have a great wiki where everything can be found. many of my ubuntu probolems and so often have their solution in arch wiki ;) | 22:29 |

| lathan | c3l: cool, perhaps i'll check it out later | 22:29 |
| lathan | c3l: how light are we talking? | 22:30 |
| c3l | lathan: yeah do that, but it expects you to do most of the work, or at least configure it to do it for you :P | 22:30 |
| guampa | i've searched a lot but to no avail, my logs are full of "end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector XYZ", root fs fills up, the vts are unusable. All this is with an audio cd on | 22:31 |
| guampa | what on earth is it? | 22:31 |
| janos | some people know if is possible sand command AT^ to modem USB HSDPA UMTS with network manager | 22:32 |
| hspaans | guampa: if the disc is clean, then or your drive is broken or drm | 22:32 |
| c3l | guampa: not sure, but sr0 is your cdrom | 22:33 |
| guampa | it isn't broken, i can read & write discs and this cd isnt drmed | 22:33 |
| lathan | well, thanks, everyone, for the input. i'll do some review checking and maybe try a lighter distro. | 22:33 |
| leGally_Mad | hello | 22:33 |
| hspaans | guampa: a lot of audio disc have drm on them without saying it on the box | 22:34 |
| guampa | hspaans: this specific disc has a 1% chance of being drmed, i know sounds nonsensical but it's like that | 22:35 |
| leGally_Mad | i am using ubuntu with wubuilder. can i install lynx on a system and overwrite wubi's folder on root,to get my settings and desktop environment | 22:36 |
| Sneebs | Hello! | 22:37 |
| guampa | i'm kind of forced to have a disc in the drive, been 3 o 4 years that ubuntu throws lots of io errors (other kind) if i don't | 22:37 |
| guampa | and a data cd wont do as it starts to index or cache something and spins too much | 22:38 |
| leGally_Mad | anyone can reppy please | 22:38 |
| mun | hi | 22:39 |
| Sneebs | Would someone be able to help me with my version of 9.10 semi-crashing the system every time I try to boot from disk? | 22:39 |
| guampa | these two probs seem to be the last ones i have in my setup, i really wish i could do something about it | 22:40 |
| mun | does anyone know how to change the default theme for gnome's menu bar? mine's always blue for some reason. | 22:40 |
| GreenBerry | My friend gave me some Ubuntu disk to try out, but left no instruction on how to use it. Now I can't get my PC to run it. | 22:41 |
| mun | I meant the bar where 'Applications', 'Places', etc. are | 22:41 |
| Sneebs | @mun: does this help? http://www.linuxnov.com/replace-default-gnome-menu-bar-with-gnomenu-applet/ | 22:41 |

| Sneebs | @ GreenBerry: what shows up[ when you stick the disk into the drive? | 22:42 |
| mun | Sneebs, thanks. i'll try that. | 22:42 |
| Sneebs | I can't make promises, I just googled it. | 22:42 |
| Sneebs | ;) | 22:42 |
| GreenBerry | It's a window | 22:42 |
| guampa | noone with MCP based laptops has had IO errors? | 22:43 |
| GreenBerry | "Demo and full installation", "Install inside Windows", and "Learn More" | 22:43 |
| Sneebs | @GreenBerry: so, you stick the disk into the drive, a window pops up (I assume you're running this on a microsofy/windows system | 22:43 |
| GreenBerry | I am running Windows XP | 22:43 |
| Sneebs | Lucky man! I'm running Vista, my main reason for making me want to try linux | 22:44 |
| Sneebs | Go to My Computer, right clikc on your CD rom drive (you know where that is?) and click explore | 22:44 |
| excitatory | so I have an hp mini 210 netbook, and i've been following forum posts on how to enable some of the multitouch features of the trackpad.. everything is great except i can't click and drag, or drag and highlight.. any ideas? | 22:44 |
| GreenBerry | K | 22:44 |
| Sneebs | I'm gonna assume no one can help me with my quandary, then? | 22:45 |
| muddtusk | I removed my connection, clock, and shutdown/logout items from a panel. I restored the clock, but I don't see an option to restore the connection and shutdown button (the shutdown button is offered, but doesn't look the same or have options to customize it). | 22:46 |
| GreenBerry | Alright, It popped up a bunch of folders and Files | 22:46 |
| edbian | Sneebs, What is a semi crash? What disk, the hdd or the cd ?? | 22:46 |
| GreenBerry | I'm unsure what to do with this CD | 22:47 |
| Sneebs | Semi-crash is a term I'm just parroting from another source. it means that when I try loading the thing from disk, the screeen blinks on & off, the keyboards are sluggishly responsive | 22:47 |
| morpf | hello everyone | 22:47 |
| GreenBerry | Lol, that's my pc half the time xD | 22:47 |
| Sneebs | i.e. keystrokes take upwards of minutes to show up | 22:47 |
| Sneebs | @greenberry: Okay, then | 22:48 |
| leGally_Mad | can some one hlep me out please | 22:48 |
| Sneebs | Could you name any .exe files you see | 22:48 |
| trism | muddtusk: the network applet shows up in the Notification Area, and the shutdown/logout items are in Indicator Applet Session | 22:48 |

| Sneebs | What about i other non.exe files | 22:51 |
| trism | scot: not shut off, not included, you need the proprietary version from the virtualbox website | 22:51 |
| tensorpudding | scot: The USB support isn't included in the OSE is it? | 22:51 |
| Sneebs | No files called Readme? | 22:51 |

| d9500 | jimbo_, yes, you can create an xorg.conf. you'll need to drop to a command prompt to do it, though, unless you already know all the settings you want to use | 23:39 |

| edbian | ibrokegrub, on the live CD grub-install --root-dir=/path/to/mounted/fs /dev/sdXY | 23:45 |
| d9500 | jimbo_, in that case, if you're comofortable outside of the GUI, then just hit ctl+alt+f1 to switch to a virtual terminal, then type sudo service gdm stop (and maybe sudo killall X for good measure) then run the command Xorg -configure. It will create the xorg.conf file in /root, so you will need to copy it over to /etc/X11 | 23:45 |

| d9500 | jimbo_, today's X and desktop environments tend to auto-configure..there still exists the option to use the settings in xorg.conf, though. If you create the file, and the syntax is correct, then I would think X should read the settings from it. | 23:48 |

| edbian | ibrokegrub, Also, you don't install grub to /dev/sda1 you install it to /dev/sda the entire hdd not just 1 partition. | 23:56 |
| ibrokegrub | edbian, because doing that seems to grab the grub.cfg that is on it now, and i need to do an update-grub on it to fix it 1st | 23:56 |
