| magicianlord | how do you create an installable custom ubuntu iso? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| d9500 | jimbo_, fglrx? Is that why you need the xorg.conf? I thought amd had a utility to create the xorg.conf for you? drop to VT, stop X server, install driver, and run aticonfig --initial or something like that/ | 00:00 |
| magicianlord | say, i want to create an installer with openbox | 00:00 |
| d9500 | jimbo_, keep in mind, i don't know much abpout fglrx...i'm just trying to remember stuff from old phoronix.com forum posts | 00:00 |
| d9500 | and not even forum posts that i made, at that | 00:01 |
| jimbo_ | d9500: going for 2-head fglrx and a third on displaylink; the first two are easy enough with automatic config, for the third I think I need to author an xorg.conf -- that's why I want the working 2-head xorg.conf as a starting point | 00:01 |
| jimbo_ | d9500: I'll try the aticonfig | 00:02 |
| Doonz | hey can someone point me to a goo x over ssh document for me to follow | 00:03 |
| jimbo_ | d9500: gotta get my ride in before the sun goes down. back later on, thanks so far, I had forgotten about aticonfig --initial which is what I used before all this auto-Xorg stuff become popular. | 00:03 |
| Doonz | my google fu is failing and all im getting is useless blogs | 00:03 |
| edbian | Doonz, Just ssh -X user@host | 00:04 |
| jimbo_ | Doonz: GatewayPorts On and AllowXF11Forwarding Yes, ssh -X, not much more to it. | 00:04 |
| jimbo_ | bbl | 00:04 |
| edbian | Doonz, That simple :) The servers are usually configured by default to allow X-Forwarding. | 00:04 |
| Doonz | oh | 00:04 |
| d9500 | jimbo_, ok... you can try it, but i freely admit that's just from memory. you might want to look up some more documentation first. | 00:04 |
| Doonz | so i just need to install gnome and im good to go? | 00:04 |
| edbian | Doonz, Strictly speaking you just need Xorg | 00:05 |
| === spyrosebastos is now known as spiros | ||
| Doonz | ok | 00:05 |

| cast | s/general/general rule/ | 00:33 |
| LLStarks | is there a reason that if i uninstall 10 kernel, update-grub must run 10 times? | 00:33 |
| d9500 | sjefen6, open terminal and run uname -a | 00:33 |
| trollboy | I know cast | 00:33 |
| trollboy | but I'm being lazy | 00:33 |
| trollboy | to VIM I go | 00:33 |
| trollboy | I just didn't wanna hand write zone files | 00:33 |
| cast | if you're lazy, then don't run bind ;) | 00:33 |
| trollboy | for .local domains | 00:33 |
| trollboy | well cast how do I set up wildcard host entries then, lol | 00:33 |
| d9500 | sjefen6, if it contains x86_64 in the output, then you're running 64-bit | 00:34 |

| realubot | I get "connection timed out" trying to connect by ssh usign this command: ssh -i .ssh/id_rsa_key1 -p 5555 username@ip. I have changed the PubkeyAuthentiation to yes in the sshd_config and I have checked by netstat and by using ps that the sshd is running. I also have restarted sshd several times without any problem. The .ssh/authorized_keys file has permissions 600. Why can't I connect to openssh-server? | 00:35 |
| cast | realubot: is it actually listening on port 5555? is there a firewall in the way? | 00:35 |
| realubot | The sshd_config file also says port 5555 to be used and password authetication is set to no. | 00:35 |
| realubot | cast: Well, the only firewall in the way should be the default iptables in Ubuntu then. | 00:36 |
| silvertip257 | I added the FreeNX PPA, updated my pkg list, and installed freenx (all through commands). However the nxsetup binary is not present as indicated in this documentation >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX | 00:36 |
| realubot | Maybe there is a firewall that is default in the ADSL modem from the ISP. I don't know about that. | 00:36 |
| cast | nmap -p 5555 ip | 00:37 |
| realubot | silvertip257: FreeNX is old I think. You may be using another package in 10.04 at least. | 00:37 |
| linux_is_my_hero | where do i go for gaming help? | 00:38 |
| silvertip257 | realubot: what other package are you suggesting? I'm getting the packages from the Lucid repo. | 00:38 |
| realubot | silvertip257: neatx is it's name: http://code.google.com/p/neatx/ | 00:38 |
| realubot | silvertip257: "As of Ubuntu 10.04, Lucid Lynx, users have two choices for their NX server, 1) FreeNX from the FreeNX team or 2) neatx from Google. " | 00:38 |
| realubot | silvertip257: Maybe it will work using FreeNX too. | 00:39 |
| silvertip257 | realubot: it's half-baked at best ... thanks for the suggestion. Yes, I read that in the Docu. | 00:39 |

| Q_Continuum | 10.04-64, ATI HD3200/HD5770 - blank screen on bootup, both from upgrade from 9.10 and attempting fresh install of 10.04 - any workarounds? | 00:40 |
| JRowe | cool | 00:41 |
| realubot | cast: I don't have the computer by my side right now but I did execute netstat -nap and I saw that sshd was listening. And I can login into another computer from the same client so the problem has to do with the openssh-server (or the specific key at my client computer). | 00:41 |
| realubot | silvertip257: I got neatx working at one computer but not at anothe rusing the same config and commands. | 00:41 |
| freedfromtheevil | hello | 00:42 |
| freedfromtheevil | can someone smart help me? | 00:43 |
| silvertip257 | realubot: I really would rather use FreeNX than NeatX until NeatX can become more mature | 00:43 |
| silvertip257 | freedfromtheevil: ask your question and if someone can help they will | 00:43 |
| chrissharp123 | pear: did you get it sorted out or are you still getting the lockfile error? | 00:44 |
| realubot | cast: I did set port to 5555, disabled rootlogin, password login (clear text login), enabled PubkeyAuth... Do I have to change more of the default settings in the sshd_config file? | 00:44 |
| freedfromtheevil | okay I installed ubuntu, everything looks nice and stuff.... so i installed the restricted drivers for nvidia... now the splash screen for the startup and shut down are huge//// | 00:44 |
| realubot | silvertip257: Ok, nice to know. | 00:44 |
| freedfromtheevil | but everything else is fine once it boots into ubuntu | 00:44 |
| realubot | cast: I disabled clear text password login. | 00:44 |
| cast | realubot: root login, password login, they don't matter, the client isn't talking to the sshd | 00:45 |
| cast | realubot: if it were you'd get a different error | 00:45 |
| JRowe | I want to install plone via ssh, and I'm horribly rusty - do i want to wget from tmp and then run the installer script? | 00:45 |
| silvertip257 | freedfromtheevil: if you don't need the restricted drivers, then turn them off and see if it goes away | 00:45 |
| realubot | cast: I did generate the keys at my client, then moved the .pub key to the host and changed it's name to authorized_keys. Maybe that was the wrong methos of creating the authorzed_keys file? | 00:45 |
| realubot | cast: Yeah, they don't even get in contact. | 00:46 |
| realubot | cast: Ofcourse not. | 00:46 |

| JRowe | i guess thats a general practice question, too - do i wget any and all new software from the tmp directory? Or is there a better place to put it | 00:47 |
| realubot | cast: I did install openssh-server as anopther user using sudo aptitude install openssh-server. Maybe that did give me some trouble when creating the authorized_keys file at another user .ssh direcotry? :S | 00:47 |
| cast | thats not the current problem | 00:48 |

| alexander_ | I downloaded a "tarball" release of a chess program for linux and extracted it, but it's just a bunch of files. How do I "install" it? | 00:48 |
| realubot | Ok, well, maybe there is some kind of firewall anyway. | 00:49 |
| freedfromtheevil | so no one can help me with my splash screen problems? | 00:49 |
| realubot | Is there any way to check if there is a firewall blocking the traffic at one specific port? | 00:49 |
| realubot | I can ping the computer's ip address at least. | 00:49 |
| aeon-ltd | manases: alt-f2 'wbar' maybe or whatever wbar is called in /usr/bin | 00:50 |
| freedfromtheevil | try the IP address : port number | 00:50 |
| manases | does any body have wbar install in ubuntu 10.04? | 00:50 |
| freedfromtheevil | so 192.168.1.1:81 | 00:50 |
| manases | ok | 00:50 |
| freedfromtheevil | or whatever the numbers are | 00:50 |
| aeon-ltd | freedfromtheevil: you may need to set resolutions at boot with grub to fix your problem | 00:50 |
| realubot | Feier: Aha, ok. Thanks. Didn't know it was that easy to ping a port at a specific ip adress. | 00:51 |
| realubot | Feier: Sorry. | 00:51 |
| realubot | freedfromtheevil: Ok. | 00:51 |
| freedfromtheevil | realubot: not sure that will work was just an idea | 00:51 |
| manases | when i hit alt+f2 it gives me an run aplication option | 00:52 |
| manases | whats now? | 00:52 |
| aeon-ltd | manases: type wbar | 00:52 |
| realubot | ping -p <port nnumber> -c 5 <host> | 00:53 |
| realubot | Maybe like that? | 00:53 |
| guampa | realubot: ping doesn't work with ports whatsoever | 00:53 |
| rohdef | I'm trying to compile nvidia's latest drivers on Lynx, but can't.

| rohdef | how to proceed? Maybe at least to force an useful log message | 00:53 |

| ActionParsnip | FabParma: its not a rolling release so the package has become old, next package review the package may get upgraded, then it WIL be in the repos | 01:18 |
| ActionParsnip | FabParma: its very simple | 01:19 |
| bazhang | FabParma, just get the gparted live disk. also no need for the excessive question marks | 01:19 |

| fml-ish | could anyone help me out? | 01:34 |
| bazhang | Davids, ubuntu support | 01:34 |
| bazhang | Davids, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:34 |
| Davids | What is that? | 01:34 |
| Sia- | fml-ish, what is about sudo fdisk -l ? | 01:34 |
| fml-ish | sia-: want me to paste it? | 01:35 |
| Sia- | yes | 01:35 |
| bazhang | Davids, check the channel topic. It's a computer OS | 01:35 |

| fml-ish | sia-: ops forgot about my fat32, i tried it to share files between the systems | 01:36 |
| koshari | Bridge|A you can use a hypervisor, which effectively runs both as a VM, | 01:36 |
| Bridge|A | yea | 01:36 |
| Sia- | fml-ish, or go System >> Admin... >> Disk Utility | 01:37 |
| fml-ish | sia-: is that an alternative to the fdisk -l? because i pasted a pastebin link for it | 01:38 |
| koshari | Bridge|A: Hypervisor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervisor> | 01:38 |
| Sia- | fml-ish, where is your pastebin link? | 01:39 |
| fml-ish | sia-: pasted it earlier but here it is again, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/C4eRs7Tb | 01:39 |
| ivo_ | Hi ubuntu guys I have a small problem, when I run a couple of VMs and my RAM gets used up my machine begins swapping (no not this is the problem ) it gets almoust unusable, on OpenSolaris I had a there was a slowdown but it was not such a big deal | 01:39 |
| ivo_ | I guess linux is doing stuff differently | 01:40 |
| Sia- | fml-ish, "/dev/sda4 29820 30402 4669440 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)" | 01:40 |
| Sia- | is your windoof right? | 01:40 |
| ivo_ | I already have 8GB of Memory (The MAX my board supports ) | 01:40 |
| fml-ish | sia- : no, that was a desperate attempt to share files between the systems, my windows partition is the ntfs | 01:40 |
| ivo_ | if I buy really fast SSD and use it as swap drive | 01:40 |
| fml-ish | sia- : # | 01:41 |
| fml-ish | /dev/sda1 1 14024 112640000 7 HPFS/NTFS | 01:41 |
| Sia- | so sda1 ? | 01:41 |
| ivo_ | will it have the desired effect: no slowdown?? | 01:41 |
| fml-ish | ops | 01:41 |
| magicianlord | how do you use up 8gb? | 01:41 |
| fml-ish | sia-: yes thats it | 01:41 |
| ivo_ | I use 64bit Win 7 | 01:41 |
| Sia- | ok and you 'll mount it? | 01:41 |
| ivo_ | to Program C+# | 01:41 |
| ivo_ | to Program C# | 01:41 |
| ivo_ | and a couple of client systems to test stuff | 01:41 |
| bazhang | !enter | ivo_ | 01:41 |
| ubottu | ivo_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 01:41 |
| ivo_ | sometimes I have my virtual ubuntu server with lamp | 01:41 |
| fml-ish | Sia- : im not very experienced in that because since Intrepid Ibex i never used windows for any purpose but back in the days it used to show me the partition automatically | 01:41 |
| ivo_ | to program java | 01:42 |
| fml-ish | sia- : now it doesn't anymore unless i use ntfs-config or mount, if i use gparted it will give me an error, if you want i can copy it here? | 01:42 |
| thenoob | Ubuntu 10.04 best user friendly distro ever. | 01:42 |
| Sia- | fml-ish, you need to see windoof partion in your ubuntu? | 01:42 |
| ivo_ | and "play" with dbs and Win7 with VisualStudio compiling big solution | 01:42 |
| fml-ish | sia- : yes that would be nice, and i'd also need to mount it without making vista crash (if i force mount with what i described earlier and then i boot vista, pc will hang at loading screen then restart) | 01:43 |
| fml-ish | Sia- : i mean, its ok if ubuntu doesn't see my windows partition, im happy, its some kind of comfort to me, but it can't see any ntfs//fat partition and if i mount them my windows partition wont start, vista will just crash and so would xp | 01:43 |
| ivo_ | I also made some tunings because the system was not responsive enough. I currently use Q9550. So do you think a nice SSD will help solve this "problem" | 01:44 |
| magicianlord | ivo_: probably not a hdd problem | 01:44 |
| Sia- | fml-ish, sudo mkdir /media/mywin ; sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/mywin | 01:44 |
| fml-ish | sia- : i'm trying it right now but, unless my brain gone that will make my vista not boot, just crash and restart my pc | 01:45 |
| ivo_ | no I have a soft RAID5 and currently lag the time to move my / on RAID1 | 01:45 |
| fml-ish | Sia- : not being stubborn though, give me a second to try | 01:45 |
| Sia- | if you start the machine then is no problemo | 01:45 |
| fml-ish | Sia- : what do you mean? | 01:46 |
| jamescarr_ | node.js | 01:46 |
| Sia- | if you want to see the win partion in your ubuntu nautilus, then you have to mount it | 01:46 |
| fml-ish | Sia- : but if i do i can't boot that partition | 01:46 |
| fml-ish | Sia- : windows will go to loading screen then crash and restart my pc | 01:47 |
| ivo_ | Mem: 8125764k total, 8031420k used, 94344k free, 45468k buffers | 01:47 |
| Sia- | fml-ish, that have nothing to do with mounting from ubuntu | 01:47 |
| fml-ish | Sia- : apparently that didn't kill my vista partition since if i remove ubuntu and install open suse or fedora it will work fine, but i dont like open suse and cant use fedora | 01:47 |
| Sia- | Fedora is bad :) don't use it | 01:48 |
| fml-ish | Sia- : yes but intrepid ibex used to work fine why lucid doesnt O_O | 01:48 |
| fml-ish | Sia- : lol fedora is good to me but it gives me troubles with my video card | 01:48 |
| Sia- | fml-ish, what is your problem in 10.4? | 01:48 |
| fml-ish | Sia- : and since im going to sell this pc i need ti with ubuntu | 01:48 |
| xila | quick question, what package do i need for wmv to dvd iso ? | 01:49 |
| fml-ish | Sia- : problem is that if i mount a ntfs partition, any then any windows operating system wont start from that pc | 01:49 |
| Sia- | xila, gstreamer-uglly ...blbla | 01:49 |
| ivo_ | gstreamer-ugly is not good | 01:49 |
| ivo_ | buy the codec pack from fluendo | 01:49 |
| Sia- | fml-ish, i can' get you problem | 01:49 |
| spooky | Mornin' | 01:50 |
| xila | i have a file on wmv i'm trying to get to play on a regular dvd player, i THINK there is a package with a gui for (gnome) that allows for such thing to be done | 01:50 |
| fml-ish | Sia- : my english isnt that great can i make it simple? | 01:50 |
| X__ | can't get sound to work in Amarok using Ubuntu 9.10! | 01:50 |
| Sia- | ivo_, the codec from multi media debian is good | 01:50 |
| xila | i use lucid with medibuntu repo | 01:50 |
| ivo_ | I have bought the codec pack from fluendo and am really happy with it | 01:50 |
| ivo_ | I also own the dvd player :) | 01:50 |
| magicianlord | fluendo is really good | 01:50 |
| Sia- | fml-ish, if you upgrade you ubuntu to last LTS what is the problem? | 01:50 |
| fml-ish | Sia- : ill try to make it basic so i wont get lost with my english | 01:51 |
| Sia- | xila, use vlc player | 01:51 |
| Sia- | ok, fml-ish are tried to upgrade you ubuntu to last version? | 01:51 |
| fml-ish | Sia- : 1 i installed windows vista 2 i installed ubuntu 10.04 3 i succesfully booted from vista 4 i successfully booted from ubuntu 5 i downloaded ubuntu updates 6 mounted my ntfs partition from ubuntu 7 i tried to boot from vista 8 vista crashed | 01:52 |
| fml-ish | Sia- : vista just wont boot without any error BSOD or such | 01:52 |
| fml-ish | Sia- : if i do the same with fedora or open suse it will work though so i wouldn't blame vista | 01:53 |
| === TannerF is now known as TannerF-withoutb | ||
| Sia- | fml-ish, if you mount the hardisk then is for one session. after rebooting is every thing the same. grub load the system and i dont think that is ubuntu issue is vista fuckt up :) | 01:53 |
| === TannerF-withoutb is now known as OfflineT | ||
| fml-ish | Sia- : vista is a clean install, if i wipe out my HD and do the same with fedora or open suse it will work | 01:54 |
| fml-ish | Sia- : i don't think Microsoft likes fedora or open suse more than ubuntu | 01:54 |
| Sia- | fml-ish, fml-ish you have all of this on you pc? | 01:54 |
| greezmunkey | It's a conspiracy... | 01:54 |
| Sia- | fedora, suse ..etc | 01:54 |
| xila | fml-ish: i thought M$ had some sort of agreement with novell(suse) | 01:54 |

| ivo_ | :D | 01:55 |
| fml-ish | Sia- : lol no, at the moment just ubuntu + windows, i did some tries with fedora or suse | 01:55 |
| fml-ish | Sia- : i was reporting you my previous attempts | 01:55 |

| phobiac | Is it possible to completely restart whatever manages USB devices? | 01:56 |
| Sia- | fml-ish, ok remove vista partion and try to create from begin and install vista completely new on this partition | 01:56 |
| phobiac | lsusb reports that I have a webcam plugged in that isn't | 01:56 |
| fml-ish | Sia- : erm.....thats what i did | 01:57 |
| FabParma | which are the releases that maintain more updated the packages? thanks | 01:57 |
| greezmunkey | *Q* Is there any way to find out what changes are in kernel updates? Like this latest x.x.23 -> x.x.24? | 01:57 |
| fml-ish | Sia- : i totally wiped my HD like hundreds of times now lol | 01:57 |
| FabParma | sorry, i mistaken. which are the DISTROS that maintain more updated the packages? thanks | 01:58 |
| phobiac | I know a restart will fix this but I really don't want to have to restart this machine | 01:58 |
| Sia- | fml-ish, 1. go to System > Administration > Disk Utility 2. Remove and format vista partition 3. install vista on this partition 4. added vista in grub booat loaded and update-grub | 01:59 |
| fml-ish | Sia- : tried that | 01:59 |
| phobiac | FabParma: Fedora has a "bleeding edge" variant that is updated fairly often | 01:59 |
| Sia- | if you start vista alone working fine? | 01:59 |
| fml-ish | Sia- : only vista on my hd? yes, even if i dual boot but dont mount the ntfs partition it will work fine | 02:00 |
| greezmunkey | phobiac: you will have to modprobe (remove) the webcam driver, then reinstall it, most likely. | 02:00 |
| phobiac | FabParma: Newer does not always mean better though, unless you have very new hardware or need a new feature stick with a more stable system | 02:00 |
| Sia- | why you mount it from ubuntu? | 02:00 |
| fml-ish | Sia- : because windows needs me to download thousands of drivers before working.......lol | 02:01 |
| greezmunkey | phobiac: like "sudo modprobe -vr {modulename}, then sudo modprobe -v {modulename}" | 02:01 |
| Sia- | really i can't believe that, that you mount a partition but after reboot system doesn't working!!?? | 02:01 |
| phobiac | greezmunkey: I've tried that, but lsusb still reports the same webcam is plugged in | 02:01 |
| Sia- | is something wrong, hmm | 02:01 |
| fml-ish | Sia- : thats right | 02:01 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: wait, what's the problem? | 02:02 |
| Sia- | you can mount the partition and umount it agian | 02:02 |
| Sia- | again* | 02:02 |
| xila | Sia-: forgive me for being slow but will VLC allow for avi to dvd iso? | 02:02 |
| fml-ish | phobiac : i can't dual boot vista + ubuntu 10.04, first of all i cant mount ntfs partition, if i force it with mount or ntfs-config and reboot my vista partition wont boot, would just go to loading screen and restart | 02:03 |
| bazhang | xila, try devede | 02:03 |
| fml-ish | Sia- : tried that too, i even tried vodoo rituals to be honest lol | 02:03 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: what error is given when you don't force the mounting of the ntfs partition? | 02:03 |
| th3_4zarado | julian assange ....god bless tis man ...he is a modern day hero | 02:03 |
| greezmunkey | phobiac: check this out: http://superuser.com/questions/141908/how-do-i-reset-an-usb-device-without-unplugging-it-in-linux | 02:03 |
| xila | thanks bazhang | 02:03 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: it can't see any ntfs partition, the only error is given by gparted, else ubuntu just seems to not realize that any ntfs partition exists | 02:04 |
| phobiac | greezmunkey: ubuntu doesn't use hal anymore unless you have hardware that needs it for some reason | 02:04 |
| fml-ish | phobiac : i know where it is so i can use mount or ntfs-config but else ubuntu will just ignore of ntfs partition existance | 02:04 |
| phobiac | greezmunkey: I tried restarting udev but that didn't work either :( | 02:04 |

| phobiac | antonio_2: I'm not saying you can't do it, it just causes less problems down the line | 02:09 |
| gotroot | hspaans? | 02:09 |
| antonio_2 | phobiac: what about the fact that I have backed up my home folder, etc and usr from the 9.10 machine? | 02:09 |
| hspaans | gotroot: you talk in riddles | 02:09 |
| gotroot | hspanns: Sorry :) I'll try to explain better. | 02:10 |
| xila | Question: Lucid will notice that i'm on a multi-core on install correct and how do i check to see if it notices? | 02:10 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: Can you pastebin me your /etc/fstab? | 02:10 |
| antonio_2 | if I install lucid and copy/paste those folders, won't that come with problems? | 02:10 |
| TechNeZo | whats the best partition prog for ubuntu? or is there one other what it has installed? | 02:10 |
| bazhang | xila, sure it will. uname -r to check the kernel | 02:10 |
| phobiac | antonio_2: you're MUCH more likely to have problems using settings from a 9.10 system on a 9.04 install | 02:10 |
| gotroot | hspaans: I installed the ProFTPD server, it all worked fine and I could connect to it, however I was jailed to my home directory, I couldn't change to /var/www (which is where I want to go). I tried changing the DocumentRoot in proftpd.conf, but that didn't help at all. | 02:11 |
| bazhang | TechNeZo, no best; gparted is good though | 02:11 |
| TechNeZo | phobiac: you see my two questions? | 02:11 |
| antonio_2 | ah so just download 9.10 copy everything..then upgrade to lucid? | 02:11 |
| phobiac | antonio_2: Really, your best bet here is to get at least ubuntu 10.04 | 02:11 |
| TechNeZo | thanks bazhang | 02:11 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: sure | 02:11 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: is that what you need? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Ejs3hPyc | 02:11 |
| phobiac | TechNeZo: Gparted is perfectly fine and works for almost all needs | 02:11 |
| bazhang | phobiac, you mean 10.04; 10.10 is still in development | 02:11 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: i feel like i did some bs now lol | 02:11 |
| phobiac | bazhang: I said 10.04 :P | 02:12 |
| bazhang | phobiac, must have misread your 'at least' | 02:12 |
| antonio_2 | so can I install 10.04 then backup my 9.10 folders (home, etc and usr) without any problems? | 02:12 |
| xila | bazhang: isn't there some sort of command line command that displays everything ubuntu regonizes and is using ? | 02:12 |
| gotroot | hspaans? | 02:12 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: Okay, do you want me to just walk you through hopefully fixing it or do you want a quick explanation of what I'm doing as well? | 02:12 |
| bazhang | xila, all installed packages? or processes running? which one | 02:13 |
| xila | hardware | 02:13 |
| phobiac | antonio_2: Did you make /home a seperate partition on the old install? | 02:13 |
| bazhang | xila, sudo lshw | 02:13 |
| xila | thanks | 02:13 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: both would be great but probably i could get what i'm doing, lets try just fixing it if i have questions i ask? | 02:13 |
| antonio_2 | I don't think so phobiac | 02:13 |
| antonio_2 | how would that make a difference | 02:13 |
| steve__ | hi, does anyone know what || means in computer science? | 02:13 |
| tacotron | Hey guys trying to install kernel 2.6.33 onto my ubuntu 10.04 amd64 i followed some instructions but they didnt work it wouldnt let me install the kernel headers.. whats the easiest way to get from 2.6.32 to 2.6.33? | 02:13 |
| gotroot | Can anyone help me install an FTP server so I can get to /var/www? | 02:14 |
| bazhang | !ot | steve__ | 02:14 |
| ubottu | steve__: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 02:14 |
| hspaans | gotroot: take a look at DefaultRoot and DefaultChdir | 02:14 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: so you won't lose much time | 02:14 |
| gotroot | hspaans: I changed DefaultRoot, but it didn't work at all. | 02:14 |
| phobiac | antonio_2: What you should do is backup everything in your /home/whateveryourusernameis folder, then install 10.04 completely clean (wipe everything! unless you're dual booting) and then put the backup stuff back in | 02:14 |
| phobiac | antonio_2: that only saves settings, not what you had installed | 02:14 |
| steve__ | like (Recpt City -> Rcpt District,(lansing||8)) | 02:14 |
| antonio_2 | ok... | 02:14 |
| steve__ | anyone? | 02:14 |
| hspaans | gotroot: restarted ftpd and logged in again? | 02:14 |
| bazhang | steve__, that has nothing to do with ubuntu | 02:14 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: sorry, I'm not trying to ignore you. just doing to simple solutions first really quick | 02:14 |
| bazhang | steve__, try #ubuntu-offtopic | 02:15 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: okay basically you want the windows partition automatically mounted, right? | 02:15 |
| gotroot | hspaans: Yes | 02:15 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: erm, i know you are not ignoring me i just said that if i ask explanations just when i dont get what im doing probably you lose less time with me | 02:15 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: and if you do it right it should solve the other issues | 02:15 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: probably i expressed bad myself =P | 02:15 |
| hspaans | tacotron: install "kernel-package" and use make-kpkg | 02:15 |
| antonio_2 | I downloaded the 10.04 dvd already..its the alternate version..thats not the livecd is it? | 02:15 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: I know, I just didn't want to come across that I was ignoring you | 02:15 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: no i dont care if mount is automatic, i just want it to mount without making my vista boot crash | 02:16 |
| phobiac | antonio_2: the DVD is perfectly fine for installing | 02:16 |
| tacotron | hspaans: literally apt-get install kernel-package and that will upgrade me to 2.6.33? im trying to get StarCraft 2 to run and they said if i do .33 then patch it it should owrk | 02:16 |
| bazhang | antonio_2, its the install only text based version | 02:16 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: there are 1421 users right now, it's obvious that you can't care only me =] | 02:16 |
| antonio_2 | bazhang: so I need to download the desktop one, right? | 02:16 |
| phobiac | bazhang: I don't think so, the DVD is an alternate install (sort of) | 02:16 |
| hspaans | gotroot: drop the statements | 02:16 |
| phobiac | antonio_2: if you have the DVD you're fine | 02:17 |
| bazhang | antonio_2, depends what you are trying to do | 02:17 |
| phobiac | bazhang: the alternate install you're thinking of is only a CD | 02:17 |
| gotroot | hspaans: What do you mean? | 02:17 |
| antonio_2 | I'm trying to do a dual boot | 02:17 |
| hspaans | gotroot: and did you change them on the right section? | 02:17 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: okay, so basically the /etc/fstab file is how linux knows what to mount automatically | 02:17 |
| gotroot | hspaans: I changed DocumentRoot to /var/www/ in proftpd.conf | 02:17 |
| antonio_2 | the alternatve one I have is only like 600 megs... | 02:17 |
| nwmatt | i am running ubuntu 10.04. When I insert a blank CD, it shows up as Blank CD-R disc on my "Computer" folder. When I go to burn the disc however, it only will allow me to make an iso saying i need to insert a blank cd. where should i start with debugging | 02:17 |
| antonio_2 | so its probably a cd I imagine | 02:17 |
| hspaans | tacotron: did I said that? no | 02:17 |
| bazhang | antonio_2, if you are less familiar with Ubuntu and/or text based installer the live cd will be easier | 02:17 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/75eKgqj0 this is what mine looks like | 02:18 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: thats the only thing i know of fstab to be honest lol | 02:18 |
| hspaans | gotroot: turn debugging on and see which decisions proftpd takes | 02:18 |
| gotroot | hspaans: how do I do that? | 02:18 |
| tacotron | hspaans: im just asking to make sure.. ive only done kernel upgrades when ive been auto prompted.. i dont knwo what im doing here.. i did apt-get install kernel-package.. but when i run make-kpkg it says i need to be in a top level kernel source tree.. wheres that? | 02:18 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: what were you using to mount the windows partition? just sudo mount /dev/sda1? | 02:18 |
| phobiac | antonio_2: oh, yeah, you have the alternate install | 02:19 |
| phobiac | antonio_2: get the regular 10.04 CD | 02:19 |
| hspaans | gotroot: sudo apt-get install proftpd-doc | 02:19 |
| phobiac | antonio_2: you only need to jump through hoops and get the alternate installer in very limited and special cases | 02:19 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: honestly i tried tons of times, i used mount -ntfs (not sure its correct) i tried ntfs-config i tried gparted (which said device was locked O_O or such error, if you want i can reproduce) the first 2 mounted it but made my vista partition not bootable, better, it boots but at loading screen it crashes and restarts | 02:19 |
| antonio_2 | whats up with the windows installer? | 02:19 |
| hspaans | tacotron: if you have those questions then stop right here and don't go any further | 02:20 |
| antonio_2 | does it make the dual booting easier to setup? | 02:20 |
| phobiac | antonio_2: the windows installer installs ubuntu as if it were a program. it isn't really a true install and isn't dual booting, it's more to test out ubuntu before doing a full install | 02:20 |
| tacotron | um.. why.. i just need some help to update my kernel.. | 02:20 |
| bazhang | antonio_2, wubi? install from inside windows? | 02:21 |
| antonio_2 | ah, so scratch that then | 02:21 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: the proper way to do it is using the ntfs-3g tools | 02:21 |
| gotroot | hspaans: Now everytime I connect it says my password is incorrect... | 02:21 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: is it mounted right now? | 02:21 |
| antonio_2 | is it kind of like having a virtual box then/ | 02:21 |
| antonio_2 | ? | 02:21 |
| phobiac | antonio_2: yes, exactly | 02:21 |
| hspaans | gotroot: read the logfiles | 02:21 |
| phobiac | antonio_2: if you get the regular ubuntu 10.04 install CD and just load it up, the installer is very informative and will walk you through it | 02:21 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: not sure i used ntfs-3g tools, bad memory here, can we try? and no its neither mounted nor shown anywhere, ubuntu just ignores its existance as i said previously its like there isnt any vista (woooo hooooo that would be good but right now is needed lol) | 02:22 |
| nwmatt | anyone available to help debug a problem with writing cd/dvd's? | 02:22 |
| phobiac | antonio_2: have you already backed up old settings? | 02:22 |
| jrib | nwmatt: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) | 02:22 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: well, fdisk sees it, so ubuntu knows it is there. it just doesn't know it's supposed to do something with it (that's fstab's job) | 02:22 |
| hspaans | tacotron: if 2.6.32 in ubuntu misses something crucial then raise a bug report. 2.6.33 is not a long term kernel release, 2.6.32 is | 02:22 |
| nwmatt | jrib: did earlier but will try again | 02:22 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: seems clear enough | 02:23 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: where do you want the windows partition to be mounted to? (I us /windows) | 02:23 |
| tacotron | hspaans: then what about 2.6.35? i can use that one as well.. | 02:23 |
| phobiac | err, I use /windows | 02:23 |
| phobiac | but you could use any directory really | 02:23 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: i dont care, to be honest i prefer it in /media/windows or any name / position would be fine) | 02:23 |
| nwmatt | when i insert a blank cd, it shows up as blank cd. When I copy files into it and hit burn, iso is the only option | 02:23 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: i mean, anywhere is good to me | 02:23 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: do sudo mkdir /windows (or /media/windows, although it's better to not use the media folder for this) | 02:24 |
| hspaans | tacotron: raise a bugreport, I'm not going to help you to shoot yourself in the foot | 02:24 |
| phobiac | that's an old method, /media is more for USB drives and the like | 02:24 |
| aldo | teste | 02:24 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: i didnt know about that media thing, thanks for the information ill use /windows | 02:24 |
| tacotron | hspaans: why do i need to raise a bug report? theres nothing wrong.. i just need a specific kernel (as instructed by wine) to run StarCraft II! | 02:25 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: it really doesn't matter that much, but the "rules" say that | 02:25 |
| phobiac | where these "rules" are written down I have no clue | 02:25 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: i hate rules usually lol but yeah lets do so >.< | 02:25 |
| nwmatt | when i insert a blank cd, it shows up as blank cd. When I copy files into it and hit burn, iso is the only option. where should i start debugging. have replaced the burner but that didnt help | 02:25 |
| hspaans | tacotron: ubuntu is supplied with 2.6.32 and nothing else and you're missing something | 02:25 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: oklay, so /windows is made? | 02:25 |
| rww | umm. There's no problem with using /media/windows :\ | 02:25 |
| fml-ish | phobia: yes it is | 02:26 |
| tacotron | yeah.. i know lucid comes with 2.6.32.. thats why i need to get it to .33 or .35! what could i possibly be missing | 02:26 |
| fml-ish | rww: what phobia said, and what i used to do till now but, new look for it? | 02:26 |
| phobiac | rww: it isn't a huge deal, it doesn't cause problems, it's just better not to. | 02:26 |
| rww | phobiac: Why? | 02:26 |
| headkase314 | phobiac: how about /mnt? | 02:26 |
| hspaans | tacotron: 2.6.32 in ubuntu is a hybride between 2.6.32 en 2.6.33 | 02:26 |
| fml-ish | that i know you can mount them anywhere just probably phobiac wanted to follow a standard | 02:27 |
| tacotron | if thats the case.. wouldnt a diff patch for 2.6.33 work for 2.6.32? | 02:27 |
| NTQ | hi there. I have a problem with curlftpfs. I did the how-to on http://www.exanto.de/sftp-und-ftp-unter-linux-mounten.html but I still have no rights to write in files. creating empty files is working, but not writing in it. | 02:27 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: tell me what happens when you do sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /windows | 02:27 |
| fml-ish | phobia: no erros apparently it did it | 02:28 |
| phobiac | rww: that's the word I'm looking for, it's standard to use /media for hotpluggable drives and the like. not things you mount all the time | 02:28 |
| hspaans | tacotron: no, 2.6.32 is a long term kernel and with 2.6.33 they started to change certain curcial things like API-calls | 02:28 |
| fml-ish | phobia : i cd-ed there i can see my windows stuff | 02:28 |
| tacotron | well then.. i need .33 then or else i cant get my game to work | 02:28 |
| fml-ish | phobia: problem is that if i reboot now vista will crash lol | 02:28 |
| phobiac | headkase314: /mnt is fine. Hell, you could really use anything that isn't already being used. Whatever works for you | 02:28 |
| fml-ish | phobia : not sure 100% tho | 02:28 |
| rww | phobiac: I'm not aware of a standard that says that. | 02:28 |
| hspaans | tacotron: good luck with your feed and good bye | 02:28 |
| hspaans | s/feed/feet/ | 02:29 |
| tacotron | dont know why u had to be so rude.. im not rude when im helping people.. seriously | 02:29 |
| headkase314 | tacotron: you looking for kernels? | 02:29 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: Okay, try rebooting. You might have to reboot vista twice, and it might tell you it needs to do a chkdsk. LET IT DO THIS. | 02:29 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: twice? what do yo mean? | 02:29 |
| phobiac | rww: it seems to be what the distros are doing now and really I don't see any reason to argue about this | 02:29 |
| tacotron | headkase314: i was.. but i found a diff .33 kernel that is working.. couldnt get the headers to install on 2.6.33 but on rc5 i could.. thanks tho! | 02:30 |
| headkase314 | tacotron: Late to the conversation, you know about -> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ | 02:30 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: I mean boot into Vista. Restart. Boot into Vista. | 02:30 |
| tacotron | yeah i just found that ^^ thanks tho | 02:30 |
| fml-ish | phobia: so vista is supposed to boot? | 02:30 |
| tacotron | i just installed the most recent .33.. gonna reboot see if that works | 02:30 |
| headkase314 | tacotron: that is as close as you'll get to non-standard kernels still supplied by Canonical. | 02:30 |
| fml-ish | phobia: ok i ll be right back | 02:30 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: well yes, usually operating systems do that... :P | 02:30 |
| fml-ish | phobia: rofl | 02:30 |
| fml-ish | phobia: i meant to boot and to not restart like it uses to | 02:30 |
| fml-ish | phobia: brb and thanks so far | 02:31 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: hopefully it won't | 02:31 |
| rww | phobiac: I'm not arguing, I'm just curious as to where you got that point of view, since I've never heard it before. | 02:31 |
| * rww shrugs | 02:31 | |
| sweetpi | rww: http://tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy.html#media | 02:31 |
| phobiac | rww: sorry, I looked into it more. I'm just saying this based off of experience. I haven't seen a distro set up windows to automount in /media for almost two years now | 02:32 |
| rww | sweetpi: ta | 02:32 |
| phobiac | Err, I mean I looked into what you said too much. | 02:32 |
| phobiac | Got the wrong impression | 02:32 |
| profxavier | I am attempting to get putty+Xming to work together, i have sshd setup on my Ubuntu box, but Xming doesn't seem to be playing nice, can someone lend a hand ? | 02:33 |
| phobiac | ah, okay, so it wasn't just my imagination | 02:33 |
| phobiac | profxavier: I can attempt to help. I got this working once in the past. Did you set sshd to allow X11 forwarding? | 02:33 |
| profxavier | yes, phobiac, sshd is setup and ready | 02:34 |
| phobiac | profxavier: by the way, unless you're using a local network or really fast internet X11 forwarding over ssh is slow as all kinds of slow things | 02:34 |
| === SteveJobs is now known as Guest76095 | ||
| profxavier | X11Forwarding yes X11DisplayOffset 10 X11UseLocalhost yes | 02:35 |
| phobiac | profxavier: what is Xmind doing/not doing? | 02:35 |
| profxavier | well, I attempt to use it, by starting XLaunch | 02:35 |
| profxavier | (putty is already connected, I setup putty too] | 02:36 |
| phobiac | does Xlaunch not run? | 02:36 |
| phobiac | also, when I used Xming it did the connection part. You didn't have to already have putty running | 02:36 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: omfg!!! it worked just fine not even chkdisk needed | 02:37 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: it hasnt asked me to | 02:37 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: thanks so much! | 02:37 |
| profxavier | winClipboardProc - DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 | 02:37 |
| profxavier | winClipboardProc - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened the display. | 02:37 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: WAIT! I can do more | 02:37 |
| profxavier | looks like its running correctly | 02:37 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: date me? | 02:37 |
| fml-ish | Phobiac: lol | 02:37 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: If you give me a moment I can give you an fstab to automount windows for you | 02:38 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: i wasn't going anywhere i just said thanks so much | 02:38 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: oh that would be awesome, i don't really need it AT THE MOMENT but in a future that would do me | 02:38 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: I'm a dude and straight, so dating is likely not going to happen | 02:38 |
| phobiac | profxavier: and then nothing happens? | 02:38 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: i was joking of course, was neither offending you nor being sarcastic | 02:38 |
| phobiac | profxavier: did you set it to autostart xterm? | 02:38 |
| profxavier | xeyes | 02:38 |
| profxavier | Error: Can't open display: | 02:38 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: I was just joking too :P | 02:38 |
| phobiac | profxavier: oh god that problem. Okay, I know I had that. If you give me a second to help out fml-ish I can try to did up whatever helped me before | 02:39 |
| fml-ish | phobiac : yes got you, just didnt want to be misunderstood | 02:39 |
| profxavier | sure, no rush here, either | 02:39 |
| RandyRKelly | Is there a driver disk for Ubuntu | 02:41 |
| Kizaru | on step 4 of the gui installation, it says my hdd is empty when fdisk -l reports (accurately) that there are 2 other partitions on the drive | 02:41 |
| bazhang | RandyRKelly, codecs and drivers and such? | 02:42 |
| lbakalinsky | Hey is anyone running the latest 10.10 build? | 02:43 |
| bazhang | lbakalinsky, people in #ubuntu+1 | 02:43 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: can you pastebin the output of ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid | 02:43 |
| phobiac | please | 02:43 |
| phobiac | profxavier: if you don't want to wait around for me, although you probably already have, try googling the error message | 02:44 |
| RandyRKelly | Yes | 02:44 |
| phobiac | RandyRKelly: The kernel is the driver disc | 02:44 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: no need to say please you are the one helping i should say please http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/11qGHB5W here it is | 02:44 |
| vmf007 | need to find out if my soundcard supports midi, how do I find out the specs on it to go on it's website and read on it? | 02:44 |
| bazhang | RandyRKelly, no, you would need to install codecs with the ubuntu-restricted-extras package, and there are various drivers that can be installed once Ubuntu itself is on your system | 02:44 |
| RandyRKelly | Were I get the kernel? | 02:45 |
| profxavier | which error message ? | 02:45 |
| profxavier | Error: Can't open display ? | 02:45 |
| phobiac | RandyRKelly: you have the kernel if you have linux installed | 02:45 |
| bazhang | RandyRKelly, its installed with the system | 02:45 |
| RandyRKelly | phobiac: kernel? | 02:45 |
| phobiac | profxavier: yeah, google that with "Xming ssh" tacked onto the end | 02:46 |
| RandyRKelly | Well not working | 02:46 |
| phobiac | RandyRKelly: what isn't working? | 02:46 |
| headkase314 | RandyRKelly: Unlike Windows the installation of Ubuntu takes care of most drivers for you: they are included. This is not an absolute rule just the general case. | 02:46 |
| bazhang | RandyRKelly, not all drivers are in the kernel | 02:46 |
| bazhang | RandyRKelly, particularly the proprietary ones | 02:46 |
| bazhang | RandyRKelly, you really need to explain the issue rather than say 'not working' | 02:47 |

| vmf007 | need to find out if my soundcard supports midi, how do I find out the specs on it to go on it's website and read on it? | 02:48 |
| RandyRKelly | Brb | 02:48 |
| headkase314 | RandyRKelly: Is it sound, or video not working? | 02:48 |

| ubottu | RandyRKelly, please see my private message | 02:48 |
| Kizaru | so, why would the gui install not see win7 partitions? | 02:49 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/GSmY9xSs Do EXACTLY this, to prevent problems. Copy /etc/fstab (you can use sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.backup) then put the contents of that pastebin in the fstab file, not the backup one but the normal one. It's easier to do this with a GUI, so run gksu gedit /etc/fstab | 02:49 |
| phobiac | then just copy and paste and save | 02:49 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: when we are done with this do you think i can ask you another thing? its not realted in any way to the original problem, oh and thanks for the pastebin | 02:49 |
| phobiac | next time you boot windows should be in /windows | 02:49 |

| kn100_ | I have a slight problem | 02:50 |
| kn100_ | my webcam works with ubuntu, but I want to be able to adjust the exposure | 02:50 |
| headkase314 | vmf007: Do you want to use your soundcard to control an external MIDI device? | 02:50 |
| kn100_ | because at higher exposures the framerate goes to crap | 02:50 |
| phobiac | vmf007: you need the details of the card? do lspci | grep -i audio | 02:51 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: anything about macs? (not mac os x but ubuntu on a mac) | 02:51 |
| phobiac | vmf007: it should give you just the audio device | 02:51 |
| kn100_ | but i can only set the exposure from certain programs and not for emesene and skype | 02:51 |
| phobiac | profxavier: does the system you're X11 forwarding have X running? | 02:51 |
| uRock | !webac > kn100_ | 02:51 |

| fml-ish | phobiac: so am i allowed to ask you? | 02:52 |
| kn100_ | uRock, I'll look into it | 02:52 |
| headkase314 | vmf007: Does your soundcard have the appropriate port on the computer to plug a MIDI device into it? | 02:52 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: ask away, someone else might know it too | 02:52 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | If I installed the default ubuntu which uses gnome, and then create a repository disc using aptoncd of all installed apps, then I put that repo disc in a kubuntu machine, and try to install those same set of apps, will all of the dependencies be there or is there a chance that some will be missing? | 02:52 |

| phobiac | profxavier: did you see what I said before? | 02:53 |

| vmf007 | don't think so | 02:53 |
| vmf007 | but when I used windows I was able to use cakewalk on this same pc | 02:54 |

| vmf007 | now I'm trying out rosegarden | 02:54 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: lets see :P even tho i think solution wasnt there | 02:54 |
| phobiac | profxavier: I can't remember if X is supposed to be running or not for X11 forwarding, but I think it is supposed to be. | 02:55 |
| kn100_ | and what's the name of that command that lets you create masks for commands | 02:55 |
| kn100_ | so you could make sagu launch sudo apt-get update | 02:55 |
| perfect | hello | 02:55 |

| perfect | inubu | 02:55 |
| kn100_ | perfect, hello! | 02:55 |
| vmf007 | probiac, the command u gave me to find out my sound card specs said the following. syntax error near unexpected token `do' | 02:55 |

| crux000 | Anyone out there a guru with 'find'? | 02:59 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: did you try just using the install cd and seeing what happens? | 02:59 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: i just didnt want to use rEFIt because im concerned about security rofl and i wanted a native solution | 02:59 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: also, I'm glad it's working | 02:59 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: alternate, it said i cant install grub lol | 02:59 |
| phobiac | crux000: not sure what you are looking for, but did you try locate instead of find? | 02:59 |
| vmf007 | off, to find out in the website, thanks phobiac and headkase | 02:59 |
| fml-ish | phobiac: ill see in future with the desktop version and cross my fingers =P | 02:59 |
| crux000 | phobiac: I need to rename a bunch of files that have a space as the last character in filename; turns out fat32 doesn't like it. | 02:59 |
| phobiac | I tried to make sense of find one and locate ended up working better for the situation | 02:59 |
| * crux000 has had success with colons, quotes, and a few other illegals, but the space-at-end-of-line is a PITA | 03:00 | |
| phobiac | crux000: sorry, I'd end up making it worse if I tried to help. I know enough to know that | 03:00 |
| phobiac | fml-ish: good luck | 03:00 |
| crux000 | np, think I figured it out. | 03:01 |

| phobiac | profxavier: do you have X running on the machine you're connecting to? | 03:02 |
| profxavier | phobiac, I believe so, I copied the last two lines of the .log in the channel before | 03:03 |
| phobiac | OH wait I know what it is | 03:03 |
| phobiac | maybe | 03:03 |
| phobiac | how did you set up Xming? | 03:03 |
| phobiac | profxavier: did you use the wizard? | 03:03 |
| profxavier | XLaunch | 03:04 |
| profxavier | i also have to configure putty | 03:04 |
| profxavier | in putty, I enable X11 forwarding | 03:04 |
| profxavier | then I need to specify 'X display location' | 03:04 |
| warren94 | i need help with my wifi | 03:04 |
| phobiac | profxavier: yeah, did you set it all up by using the Xlaunch wizard? | 03:05 |
| RandyRKelly | Hey guys let me log onto PC | 03:05 |
| headkase314 | warren94: is this a new installation and wifi has never been configured before? | 03:06 |
| phobiac | profxavier: if you use the XLaunch wizard you don't need to have putty running seperately, assuming you got the plink install | 03:06 |
| supercom32 | In bash, is there a way to do a FOR loop returning directories instead of files? | 03:06 |
| bazhang | supercom32, try #bash ? | 03:07 |
| warren94 | @headkase314 i just inslaled ubuntu as the mane os i hade it as a side by side and it was working | 03:07 |
| profxavier | oh, wait | 03:07 |
| profxavier | really ? | 03:07 |
| profxavier | then how do I config my key, for putty ? | 03:07 |
| phobiac | profxavier: ya | 03:07 |

| === fizk_ is now known as Guest21839 | ||
| profxavier | ok, whats this about plink ? | 03:08 |
| headkase314 | warren94: Have you gone into System > Administration > Hardware Drivers and checked for the drivers there? (Before doing this run System > Administration > Update Manager at least once and Check for Updates while in it). You will need Internet on the Ubuntu machine so you want to have that connected to a wired port while you do these two things. | 03:08 |
| profxavier | its not in the package for putty | 03:08 |
| === Guest21839 is now known as fizk_ | ||
| fizk_ | hey guys, I installed ubuntu on a quad core and i'm seeing 8 CPUs | 03:09 |
| warren94 | headkase314: i have whent to hardwarer drivers and thier is nothing their | 03:09 |
| phobiac | profxavier: plink is the thing Xming uses to make putty connections | 03:09 |
| phobiac | profxavier: it should be in the Xming install folder | 03:09 |
| fizk_ | intel i930 | 03:09 |
| ForestBear | nvm, I used mobile media converter and solved my problem without ffmpeg | 03:09 |
| phobiac | fizk_: sweet! ubuntu gave you 4 more | 03:09 |
| headkase314 | warren94: you have to run Update Manager at least once for Hardware Drivers to work correctly and you need Internet on the machine - through a wired port is ideal. | 03:10 |
| fizk_ | phobiac, yea.. is that hyperthreading? | 03:10 |
| warren94 | headkase314: i have done that it does the same thing | 03:10 |
| phobiac | fizk_: I was just trying to find a confirming source but I think that's what it is | 03:10 |
| phobiac | fizk_: unless things are running weird, it's fine | 03:11 |
| headkase314 | warren94: ok, someone is going to have to get you to run the "lspci" command and be able to interpret it for you. That person is not me ;) My knowledge goes as far as "is it in Hardware Drivers?" ;) | 03:11 |
| RandyRKelly | How long does ubuntu usually take to boot? | 03:11 |
| fizk_ | phobiac, nice, thanks | 03:12 |
| tik | uhm from the time you hit the power button about 30 seconds | 03:12 |
| phobiac | warren94: what do you need? I can maybe help but didn't follow what was said | 03:12 |
| Dr_Willis | RandyRKelly: on my laptop.. perhaps 30 sec.. | 03:12 |
| phobiac | RandyRKelly: depends on the machine | 03:12 |
| fizk_ | by the way, Ubuntu's installer doesn't cope well with VGA and DVI plugged in at the same time | 03:12 |
| warren94 | headkase314: ok, im new to this how do i do that? | 03:12 |
| phobiac | but yeah, usually around 30 seconds | 03:12 |
| fizk_ | I had to use a single VGA | 03:12 |
| phobiac | warren94: do you need to find out what card you have? | 03:12 |
| RandyRKelly | Mine took a few min | 03:13 |
| warren94 | phobiac: i need to set up my wifi i dont know what to do | 03:13 |
| spooky | fizk_: 10.04 installed fine with 2 monitors, VGA/DVI for me...with an NVIDIA 7600GS card | 03:13 |
| phobiac | fizk_: the installer has REALLY basic drivers for legal reasons | 03:13 |
| spooky | d | 03:13 |
| profxavier | ugh | 03:13 |
| profxavier | phobiac, thanks O_o | 03:14 |
| Dr_Willis | VGA+DVI here. nvidia. Installer worked. it just dident get everything 100% untill i installed the nvidia druvers however. | 03:14 |
| phobiac | warren94: did you just install ubuntu? | 03:14 |
| tik | 'question: do you I change my res on boot... itsooting at 640x and I want it to boot at 1280 or 1024 like the livecd | 03:14 |
| phobiac | profxavier: did that get it working? | 03:14 |
| warren94 | phobiac: yes i did | 03:14 |
| Dr_Willis | fizk_: you perhaps would be more acureate to say the 'live cd' has some problamtic drivers :) Not the installer itself. | 03:14 |
| profxavier | wow, I think I know what I did | 03:14 |
| RandyRKelly | After it boots this is what happens, it just basically freezes. I can't use mouse nor keyboard. I have a alienware area 51m. Has XP and Ubuntu. Want let me do nothing | 03:14 |
| Dr_Willis | tik: and your video card is ? | 03:14 |
| profxavier | do I have to use the -X flag in connecting ? | 03:15 |
| UberN00b | hey ... again :D , I cant open a web page in ...ermm normal view ? i get it in text-only version, and that is for this specific web page only. is this because of firefox ? | 03:15 |
| RandyRKelly | Any thoughts ^^^^^ | 03:15 |
| Q_Continuum | 10.04-64, ATI HD3200/HD5770 - blank screen on bootup, both from upgrade from 9.10 and attempting fresh install of 10.04 - any workarounds? | 03:15 |
| fizk_ | Dr_Willis, not the live cd, the software that runs the installer | 03:15 |
| phobiac | warren94: is the wireless card internal or a USB one you plug in? | 03:15 |
| headkase314 | tik: If you installed proprietary drivers that seems to make Plymouth (the splash screen on booting) render in a very low-res mode. Not much can be done about it. | 03:15 |
| * profxavier waits for the obvious of course | 03:15 | |
| phobiac | profxavier: Woo! | 03:15 |
| phobiac | profxavier: uhh, what's the -X flag? | 03:15 |
| warren94 | phobiac: it is internal | 03:15 |
| profxavier | enable Xforwarding | 03:15 |
| fizk_ | Dr_Willis, not a big deal, just wanted to point it out | 03:15 |
| tik | headkase314: yah thats what I notced no biggy | 03:16 |
| Dr_Willis | fizk_: never saw the installer progarm have any issues with my 2 monitor setup. whats the issue its having exactly? | 03:16 |
| tik | ts ust ugly | 03:16 |
| tik | its just ugly | 03:16 |
| Dr_Willis | fizk_: file a bug report. | 03:16 |
| phobiac | profxavier: Probably not, try it without it first | 03:16 |
| tik | headkase314: thanks | 03:16 |
| phobiac | profxavier: that's a flag for a server | 03:16 |
| tik | headkase314: in Linux Mint you can change it | 03:16 |

| warren94 | phobic: ok i did the lspci.... but output? | 03:27 |
| viyyer | The thing is I can see the wireless networks on my network manager applet disabled (kida grayed out) | 03:28 |
| headkase314 | Dr_Willis: If you try to uninstall the main Plymouth package it removes essential core components as well. The workaround is to just remove the optional Plymouth stuff. However, I boot once a day and usually I'm away making coffee for the 30 seconds. So, I'd be best to just leave it as is ;) | 03:28 |
| Dr_Willis | headkase314: theres also the 'text' option at boot time to the kernel that prevents gdm from starting, and plymouth, and i think the framebuffer.. but its a little overkill for most people | 03:28 |
| phobiac | warren94: the command should have given you some result with a bit of text that said acer in it | 03:28 |
| phobiac | warren94: possibly not | 03:28 |
| Dr_Willis | headkase314: i had issues with plymouth and the framebuffer stuff basically killing off my consoles.. so it was more then just an eyecandy issue here. | 03:29 |
| warren94 | phobiac: it did not it just gave me a new command | 03:29 |
| headkase314 | Dr_Willis: I'm still too n00b to be going there - yet! | 03:29 |
| Dr_Willis | headkase314: looking at what i did. it basically removes the plymouth themes.. dosent really remnove plymouth | 03:29 |

| phobiac | warren94: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1378485 see if what they suggest doing works | 03:30 |
| ridin | okay phobiac, because usually it uses up 323mb which i thought was pretty weird | 03:30 |
| Dr_Willis | headkase314: when i got 5+ weeks uptime. :) its not a big issue abouyt eyecandy.. but the way it messed my consoles were a big annoyance. | 03:30 |
| phobiac | ridin: that is a lot. is that even if you have nothing open? | 03:30 |
| radar3d | what is a good video converter for ubuntu? Like to convert mkv and m4v into AVI files. In windows I used winavi?? Any help? | 03:30 |
| phobiac | ridin: I mean, no filebrowser open | 03:30 |
| ridin | phobiac: yes | 03:30 |
| warren94 | phobiac: ok i will | 03:30 |
| Dr_Willis | radar3d: ffmpeg, mencoder, and front endsd to those tools (like winff) | 03:31 |
| Dr_Willis | radar3d: its all about the codecs. 'to avi' means very little.. | 03:31 |
| radar3d | will it run in ubuntu? Have a link? | 03:31 |
| === v is now known as they | ||
| Dr_Willis | They are in the repos.. of course they run on ubuntu.. and ported to windows also. | 03:31 |
| MaRk-I | Q_Continuum: for ati not sure I think it's the "xforcevesa" mode check this http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/05/06/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup-workaround/ | 03:31 |
| bazhang | radar3d, handbrake | 03:31 |
| Dr_Willis | radar3d: its very likely your winavi tool was using ffmpeg or mencoder | 03:31 |
| phobiac | ridin: that isn't a normal amount. does it use this all the time? | 03:32 |
| Dr_Willis | Handbreak is handy. :) but not in the repos.. I also found it harder to use. | 03:32 |
| warren94 | phobiac: im running ubuntu 10.04 does that matter/? | 03:32 |
| ridin | phobiac: yes most of the time even though i have nothing opened | 03:32 |
| radar3d | ok but I need one for ubuntu do I have to use WINE? | 03:32 |
| * Dr_Willis had issues with Handbrake breaking.. :) | 03:32 | |

| === ceeeps is now known as cps | ||
| radar3d | aye lemme check it out | 03:33 |
| bazhang | radar3d, not really no | 03:33 |
| Dr_Willis | radar3d: many of them were for linux first :) then ported to windows | 03:33 |
| phobiac | warren94: if you follow the 9.10 instructions it should be fine | 03:33 |
| bazhang | ffmpeg and winff or handbrake radar3d | 03:33 |
| Dr_Willis | radar3d: learning about video codecs and how ffmpeg and mencoder work.. is time well spent if you really want to learn about 'videos' | 03:33 |
| bazhang | err mencoder | 03:33 |
| phobiac | ridin: I'm not sure what to do to help. If you google around about nautilus memory usage you might find something. | 03:33 |

| bazhang | radar3d, then try devede | 03:34 |
| phobiac | warren94: I have to go, but I don't want to leave you high and dry. If that thread doesn't work try googling the wireless card name with the word ubuntu and see if you can find some solutions | 03:34 |
| Dr_Willis | radar3d: you have to make them into 'avi's with the proper 'codec' If your player can play video files... | 03:34 |
| phobiac | ridin: if you google for replacing nautilus in ubuntu I know there are guides | 03:34 |
| phobiac | basically everyone here with a problem, google it! it's all we're doing (for the most part) | 03:35 |
| Dr_Willis | radar3d: You can create a 'dvd' from video files with devede. | 03:35 |
| FabParma | phobiac: Thank you very much. i searched on net long time before to ask here, but i haven't found nothing resolutive. your link has fixed everything. thanks again | 03:35 |
| radar3d | yes video player can play video files | 03:35 |
| warren94 | phobiac: ok thank you 4 what you have done | 03:35 |
| phobiac | anyway, I gotta go. | 03:35 |
| phobiac | FabParma: good to hear! | 03:35 |
| phobiac | warren94: I hate wireless issues. I'm sorry you're having them. :( I used to have that problem with some old broadcom cards. | 03:35 |
| Dr_Willis | radar3d: examine a file it can play. and determine what res/codecs it can handle.. or check its docs/manual very closely. | 03:35 |
| phobiac | warren94: good luck | 03:35 |
| Dr_Willis | radar3d: also practice converting some short videos first. :) | 03:36 |

| radar3d | Dr_Willis, how do I examin a file to determine codec? | 03:37 |

| MaRk-I | Q_Continuum: I mean by this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9361177&postcount=2 | 03:37 |
| Dr_Willis | ibrokegrub: neat 'trick' i learned.. do a normal install to a flash drive and plug it in/boot then run 'udate-grub' on it.. it can see and add an entry for the other os's you may have broken. :) | 03:37 |
| Dr_Willis | radar3d: divx and xvid are basically the same thing. :) (well from a codec sort of point of view) | 03:38 |
| Q_Continuum | MaRk-I, I've got something plugged into every available port, so no. | 03:38 |

| neil_d | can anyone tell me if ubuntu will work on a HP Compaq 620s Laptop, I can't find any website saying yes or no. | 03:38 |
| Dr_Willis | radar3d: theres the ffprobe command, or play the video in a player like vlc and check its properties/details as to what codeds its using also | 03:39 |
| ibrokegrub | Dr_Willis, i didnt have a flashdrive large enough handy unfortunately. my mp4 player doesnt reliably go into mass storage mode prior to OS | 03:39 |

| ibrokegrub | Dr_Willis, luckily ive lost nothing, everything is in /home/me and any changes i did to the system are copied in scripts in /home/me as well | 03:43 |
| ibrokegrub | Sad thing is i know exactly where i typoed while editing /etc/default/grub. One fat thumb can be fatal LOL | 03:45 |

| SpyderBite | Try i Mozilla "File, Work Online" or does it is the only otion Work Offline there, st33l ? | 04:34 |
| Dr_Willis | heh - the site i picked seems to be down.. | 04:34 |
| st33l | yeah | 04:35 |
| st33l | i was goin to tell u that | 04:35 |
| st33l | hey spyder | 04:35 |
| st33l | im not using linux for the first time!!! | 04:35 |
| dewman | Dr_Willis, Sorry your address is not working...Please correct so we can view what you have to offer to the world.... =P | 04:35 |
| Dr_Willis | dewman: I just pinged a web suite and got the ip#. but it seems the site doswnt work that way | 04:35 |
| AndIrc_ | need ubuntu on my evo 4g... | 04:35 |
| Dr_Willis | wich is weird... | 04:36 |
| rockets | Is it possible to make the gnome keyring passwordless? I'm running ubuntu netbook edition, which by default does passwordless autologin. But then it prompts you for the keyring password every time you log in, which totally defeats the purpose. | 04:36 |
| SpyderBite | Wasn't questioning your aptitiude, st33l. Some programs switch that off without you knowing while being confgured and don't turn it back on. | 04:36 |
| st33l | btw i was able to ping google.com | 04:36 |
| nomnex | clean install 10.04, where is the option SWAP as mount point? I don't see it? | 04:36 |
| st33l | yeah i checked that | 04:36 |
| st33l | rember i told u google was loading | 04:36 |
| Dr_Willis | rockets: you can set it to use an empty password.. yes.. | 04:36 |
| rockets | Dr_Willis, how? | 04:36 |
| nomnex | Create partition, I want to create a swap partition, thanks | 04:36 |
| st33l | and search etc etc | 04:36 |
| rockets | Dr_Willis, I don't see an app to manage the keyring. | 04:36 |
| nomnex | oh, I found, sorry about it... | 04:37 |
| Dr_Willis | rockets: apps -> accessories -> passwords. rigjht click on the entries in the bottom area | 04:37 |
| Dr_Willis | rockets: its a common faq on the forums. :) i evem made a video how to change it at --> http://drop.io/dr_willis | 04:37 |
| st33l | let me try some more stuff.. | 04:37 |
| st33l | be bk.. | 04:37 |
| rockets | Dr_Willis, thanks! | 04:38 |
| Dr_Willis | st33l: what if you ping cnn.com what ip does it give? try http://thatip | 04:38 |
| hello | hello | 04:38 |
| modulexploited | thune3: Thank you ! that helped | 04:38 |
| luig1 | The automatic fsck at startup found errors and I hit f to fix them. What now? It just says that "The disk drive for /tmp is not yet readt or not present." | 04:38 |
| SpyderBite | let us know if you figure it out st33l. Be interested in knowing what it was in case somebody else has the same problem.. I try to note these things for future referecne | 04:38 |
| st33l | i could ping in.yahoo.com | 04:39 |
| st33l | though it wasnt loading | 04:39 |
| st33l | yeah will do.. | 04:39 |
| st33l | off now | 04:39 |
| warren94 | someone help me plz with my wifi | 04:39 |
| Dr_Willis | warren94: clariofy what the problem is... | 04:40 |
| rockets | Dr_Willis, It'd be nice if there was a way to remove the password without the passwords being stored unencrypted. | 04:40 |
| hello | 1 | 04:40 |
| rockets | hello, hello! | 04:40 |
| Dr_Willis | rockets: never noticed.. i always set it to use a blank when it first asks. :) | 04:41 |
| rockets | Dr_Willis, yeah, it just totally defeats the point of autologin. | 04:41 |
| Dr_Willis | You want them encrypted.. but accessable with no password... | 04:41 |
| hello | 有人说中文的吗？ | 04:41 |
| SpyderBite | warren94, without more detail about your problem you may as well be asking the doctor to make you better but the only symptom you give him is "i don't feel good". | 04:41 |
| rockets | Dr_Willis, my computer is bios password protected. if somebody pulls my drive out, id rather they not be able to just read the file in plain text. | 04:41 |
| rockets | Dr_Willis, but the chance of a computer thief knowing linux is slim, so whatever. | 04:42 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont even know what file they are stored in. :) | 04:42 |
| warren94 | spyderbite: the problem is that i can see the network i whant to conect to i just get conect to it via wifi | 04:42 |
| Docteh_ | rockets: do you have a tpm chip? | 04:43 |
| luig1 | Yeah, my files being on an ext3 partition is almost as good as if they were encrypted, that's the way I see it | 04:43 |
| rockets | Docteh_, no, it's just a shitty netbook. anyway I don't want whole-drive encryption. | 04:43 |
| rockets | I'm thinking about a new laptop, but I haven't decided what to get yet. Haven't decided what model of thinkpad to get, that is to say. | 04:45 |
| luig1 | Speaking of ext3fs, I totally asked a fsck question up there if anyone feels like helping. Just saying... | 04:45 |
| rockets | luig1, sudo flux-capacitor --recalibrate | 04:45 |
| === radar3d is now known as radar3d|Zzz | ||
| luig1 | Rockets: That did the trick. I've got a login screen now. | 04:47 |
| rockets | luig1, <3 | 04:47 |
| === ZachK_ is now known as zkriesse | ||
| luig1 | rockets - And Abiword was bugged before but now it's starting cleanly. You've fixed my desktop! (I'm not being sarcastic either, fsck finished around when you suggested that.) | 04:48 |
| rockets | luig1, it's all about the flux capacitors. | 04:49 |
| luig1 | Clearly. Well I'm out, peace everyone. | 04:50 |
| rockets | luig1, Flux capacitors are so powerful that sometimes merely mentioning recalibrating one in passing will fix everything. | 04:50 |
| warren94 | Dr_Willis: are you still able to help me? | 04:50 |
| Nilos | Can anyone help me set a cronjob to run at startup. | 04:51 |
| hello | same questions | 04:52 |
| tensorpudding | my dns seems to handle the us.archive.ubuntu.com domain really badly, I think every other time I do an aptitude update it gives an error on resolving that host | 04:52 |

| warren94 | plz someone help me with my wifi. i can see the network i whant to conect to but something wont let me conect to it. i have tryed googleing what to do and i cant find any thing. i also cant find anything in the hardware drivers so if someone can help we i would love it | 04:57 |

| Dr_Willis | warren94: if its your network. You could try disableing the security/passwords and see if you can connect to it then. | 04:59 |

| Wolfwalker_Prime | Here's the situation: My friend has a desktop with a blown graphics card. I have a laptop with Linux, a crossover ethernet cable and a 2-headed USB cable. We don't have a spare graphics card and he wants to access some files on his desktop. | 05:02 |
| Wolfwalker_Prime | Is there a way to access the hard drive from my laptop, either through ethernet crossover or USB? | 05:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Wolfwalker_Prime: usb to usb? that would require specuial stuff.. | 05:04 |
| Dr_Willis | Wolfwalker_Prime: in theory you could boot up a live cd on teh laptop that has a ssh server or somthing you can then access over the network. | 05:04 |
| Dr_Willis | or on the dead displaymachine i mean. :) | 05:04 |
| tik | Hi, im missing all the gnome panel information.. how do I reload it? | 05:04 |
| Dr_Willis | !resetpanel > tik | 05:05 |
| ubottu | tik, please see my private message | 05:05 |
| xangua | killall gnome-panel ¿¿ | 05:05 |

| genoskill | my Desktop resolution is 1366x768 but my Login screen resolution is like 800x600. my login screen looks so ugly. how can i fix that | 05:09 |
| Mr_Sonoma | see thats the problem with sending the factoids through priv. if people are watching and following but not saying anything they miss some key stuff. | 05:09 |
| Dr_Willis | genoskill: you could try the following --> sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties | 05:09 |
| Wolfwalker_Prime | Here's something I googled up, but it's for mac. I want to know how to do it for PC: | 05:09 |
| Wolfwalker_Prime | 1) connect the nonworking computer to another mac with a firewire cable | 05:10 |
| Wolfwalker_Prime | 2) turn the nonworking computer and hold down T – will let you access it as if it is an external hard drive | 05:10 |
| fridgerator | so back in the day i used to be able to hit alt+shift f1 or whatever function button and it would let me out of xwindows to a terminal screen... ubuntu with gnome doesnt do this, how come? | 05:10 |
| Dr_Willis | genoskill: that runs the gnome settings stuff as the gdm user. so you can tweak the gdm login screen . But im not wure if that lets you set teh screen res | 05:10 |
| === euphorial is now known as Guest34247 | ||
| d9500 | fridgerator, you sure that wasn't ctrl alt f1? | 05:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Wolfwalker_Prime: basically you dont. :) thats a special feature in teh mac's bios (well they call it somthing else) | 05:10 |
| roberto_ | hola | 05:10 |
| Hackey | Can anyone help with ether(0) | 05:10 |
| roberto_ | como estan | 05:10 |
| chilli0 | Hello , I'm having some weird perm errors again. Samba has the umask= 000 . but I can't copy files over...... And the samba mask is set to 777 | 05:11 |
| d9500 | fridgerator, b/c ubuntu still does that. | 05:11 |
| genoskill | Dr_Willis: It didnt work :( | 05:11 |
| bareego | on PC you'd still be stuck with taking the hdd out and connecting it internally | 05:11 |
| genoskill | Dr_Willis: i mean there are no option for change resolution | 05:11 |
| Mr_Sonoma | !es : roberto_ | 05:12 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:12 |
| Dr_Willis | genoskill: perhaps run the tool that lets you change teh res as the 'gdm' user. | 05:12 |
| Mr_Sonoma | !es | roberto_ | 05:12 |

| indrora_ | I'm using b43 drivers on a Linksys WPC54G card | 05:12 |
| st33l | catch u all later | 05:13 |
| genoskill | Dr_Willis: how? | 05:13 |
| fridgerator | d9500 you're a genius, haha | 05:15 |
| fridgerator | i feel sheepish now | 05:15 |
| Dr_Willis | genoskill: you could try the following --> sudo -u gdm 'whateverprogramsetstheres' | 05:15 |
| Dr_Willis | genoskill: perhaps. My res is set by the nvidia drivers/tools so its not the same issue. | 05:15 |
| d9500 | fridgerator, no big deal. i've done the same kinda thing.."now what was that shortcut again?" | 05:16 |
| genoskill | Dr_Willis: my notebook drivers cant do that | 05:16 |
| SubCool | hey- could someone help me. Im so lost with this VNC. I have just followed a very ncie walk through on how to setup my vnc, and i still can not log in. | 05:23 |
| SubCool | I use to be able to when i first got it setup, now i cant. | 05:23 |
| KB1JWQ | SubCool: Is the server listening? Is there a firewall blocking it? Is the process bound to the proper port in netstat? | 05:23 |
| SubCool | I have tried soo many vnc's. are there any that just work? | 05:23 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: what vnc server are you using? | 05:23 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: ive had very few issues with them :) | 05:23 |
| SubCool | KB1JWQ, the server is listen, supposed. | 05:23 |
| SubCool | Dr_Willis, I've tried a few at this point. | 05:24 |
| SubCool | Im on TightVNC i think? | 05:24 |
| SubCool | there are sooo many differnet parts involved now- its hard to say. I followed tightvnc instrucitons, abut all i see is the normal vnc stuff. I just cant stand KRDC | 05:24 |
| wiesshund | Is there any way to have a normal HD boot resemble the live cd's boot? graphically i mean, full screen splash, very concise coloured minimal boot text. Ive got the splash screen at the menu but it goes away after picking an OS and then of course the screen spews out tons of text about everything its doing. | 05:25 |
| KB1JWQ | SubCool: So you've got a half dozen half-installed VNC servers running? Good bloody lick. | 05:25 |
| KB1JWQ | luck* | 05:25 |
| SubCool | Dr_Willis, i have an Iphone, XP, 10.04 laptop and the 10.04 headless server, I am having issues with ALL of them at this point. The Headless server is bare except these installations, but ill reformat if itll make it work. lol | 05:25 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: ssh in, run vncserver, run client connect... | 05:26 |
| SubCool | KB1JWQ, well, i tried my best to uninstall everything. | 05:26 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: check .vnc logs for errors and so forth... | 05:26 |
| Blue11 | wiesshund: netbook remix maybe? | 05:26 |
| Blue11 | KB1JWQ: DE KA5FVE | 05:26 |
| wiesshund | Blue11>> kind of rather not put netbook on a desktop though | 05:27 |
| SubCool | Dr_Willis, running vncserver created a second instance. where do i run client connect, on the server? | 05:27 |
| Blue11 | wiesshund: yeah it works great on a netbook, but you have to learn to adapt a few things. - | 05:27 |
| Mr_Sonoma | Blue11, more than a few hams here i believe. 73 | 05:27 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: every time you run vncserver it makes a new instance.. yes.. thats how vncserver works.. | 05:28 |
| wiesshund | Blue11>> 1st id have to go and remove ume etc | 05:28 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: you run the vncclient on the pc you want to 'see' the desktop on. | 05:28 |
| Blue11 | Mr_Sonoma: kewl | 05:28 |
| SubCool | Dr_Willis, ya, i get that. But, that means there was already an instance of it running- but whenever i try to connect, it says server not found. | 05:28 |
| SubCool | just making sure i wasnt testing something- idk | 05:28 |
| Blue11 | wiesshund: I don't find the boot process particularly harsh unless you have an older machine | 05:28 |
| Dr_Willis | vncclient server.ip.num.ber:2 (or whatever port# its using) | 05:29 |
| alexander_ | it says that python is installed but it's not listed under programming. how would I go about running it? | 05:29 |
| Dr_Willis | alexander_: python dosent have a 'gui' spefifically. | 05:29 |
| Dr_Willis | alexander_: open teminal type 'python' | 05:29 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: you can make a vncserver instace close with 'vncserver --kill :#' (where # is a nuimber) | 05:30 |
| SubCool | Dr_Willis, any particular client u use? | 05:30 |
| SubCool | and where is the log? .vnc? | 05:30 |
| alexander_ | gotcha, so would I save a text file with a python program and then run it from this interface? | 05:30 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: most all should work with all servers | 05:30 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: yes in .vnc on the server | 05:30 |
| SubCool | Dr_Willis, but which one do u use | 05:31 |
| Dr_Willis | alexander_: you use a text ecitor.. make a script then run it . python foo.py' or make its first line like #!/bin/python and make it executable | 05:31 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: depends on teh OS. :) | 05:31 |
| Dr_Willis | alexander_: you may want to check out some Python tutorials. | 05:31 |
| wiesshund | Blue11>> harsh? not sure what you are meaning there. mines a big blog of horribly low rez text thats not very readable anyways, but if i hit control alt F8 there is a nice concise output kind of resembling the liveCD boot, maybe 10 lines total, as opposed to 30 pages | 05:31 |
| SubCool | To Ubuntu and XP/Win7 | 05:31 |
| Mr_Sonoma | SubCool, i use tightvnc on windows, and remote desktop viewer in GNOME, i forget the one in KDE but there's on there too | 05:32 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: any vnc client should work. | 05:32 |
| wiesshund | Blue11>> just was wondering if there was a way to have it show that over the splash instead, kind of like redhat in Interactive startup mode i guess | 05:32 |
| winmutt__ | hi diddley doo | 05:32 |
| SubCool | KRDC sucks, Im fine working FROM Windows- its TO windows, i have issues. | 05:33 |
| SubCool | Dr_Willis, They all should- meanwhile nothign works forme.. | 05:33 |
| winmutt__ | i have eth0 configured for static in /etc/network/interfaces yet it keeps coming up with dhclient running | 05:33 |
| === chazz is now known as Guest63609 | ||
| Mr_Sonoma | ok your having problems connecting to the windows machine? | 05:33 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: Its possible windows has some firewalling going on.. | 05:33 |
| SubCool | wow- interesting error, read this- let me paste it | 05:33 |
| SubCool | Dr_Willis, check them- windows has some issue that the Ubuntu screen wont refresh. | 05:34 |
| winmutt__ | anyone know why dhclinet would be comin up | 05:34 |
| Mr_Sonoma | Dr_Willis, i'd agree windows firewall probably getting in way. unless the router firewall (assuming remote location of windows machine) is getting in the way. | 05:34 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: i find it often best to use as minimal a window manager for your vncsession as possible also. the full 'gnome' desktop can overload the connetion and make it sluggish | 05:35 |
| nwmatt | when i insert a blank cd, it shows up as blank cd. When I copy files into it and hit burn, iso is the only option. where should i start debugging. have replaced the burner but that didnt help. any suggestions on where to start debugging? | 05:35 |

| jgomo3 | Hello. I gave an uncle a CD with Ubuntu, now i want to give him a CD with GIMP and Python3 because he don't have Internet. How can i do it? | 05:35 |
| SubCool | Dr_Willis, Very true, im getting use to SSh and such now. i hate to do it- but, its neccesary. but not everythign i do i will every be able to do via CLI | 05:36 |
| Docteh_ | jgomo3: what cd did you give him? | 05:36 |
| bastid_raZor | aptoncd | jgomo3 | 05:36 |
| Docteh_ | the regular livecd? | 05:36 |
| jgomo3 | Ubuntu 10.10 | 05:36 |
| bastid_raZor | err | 05:36 |
| Docteh_ | !aptoncd | 05:36 |
| ubottu | APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline | 05:36 |
| bastid_raZor | !aptoncd | 05:36 |
| cheosite | hi | 05:36 |
| jgomo3 | Docteh_: yes, the livecd | 05:37 |
| cheosite | all | 05:37 |
| Mr_Sonoma | nwmatt, uh did you select a device to burn to? I use k3b for cd burning because for me its more well laid out. (that part is personal pref really) | 05:37 |
| SubCool | Dr_Willis, http://pastebin.org/437502 | 05:37 |
| Docteh_ | jgomo3: easiest might be to boot the livecd in a vm or w/e and then apt-get stuff and use the aptoncd tool | 05:37 |
| thune3 | winmutt__ have you restarted networking and networkmanager (or rebooted), since changing /etc/network/interfaces? can you pastebin your interfaces file. | 05:38 |
| === Guest63609 is now known as chazz | ||

| slgma | how come mouse themes only work when your cursor is over certain windows? | 05:38 |
| MengXingHun | 中文？ | 05:39 |
| guampa | sigma: same prob here. using compiz right? | 05:39 |
| Dr_Willis | slgma: those windows may of opened/started after you changed the theme. the older ones dident 'see' the change.. | 05:39 |
| jgomo3 | it will not work in my current machine because it already has GIM and Python3 installed? | 05:39 |
| Dr_Willis | slgma: try logging out/back in.. | 05:39 |
| slgma | been like that for weeks Dr_Willis | 05:39 |
| slgma | after 10+ restarts | 05:39 |
| profxavier | trying to get putty/XMing/Ubuntu to work together, in a Windows 7 environment, anyone else have luck with this :D ? | 05:39 |
| Dr_Willis | slgma: no idea then on that. Unless some are kde vs gnome apps. | 05:39 |
| slgma | nope | 05:39 |
| Dr_Willis | profxavier: not with WIn7 | 05:39 |
| === artveee is now known as EvilAz | ||
| Docteh_ | jgomo3: I guess you could do that, gives a chance of a package on the cd requiring something not around | 05:40 |
| profxavier | well, do you mind just trying a thing or two with me ? | 05:40 |
| Docteh_ | actually do the apttocd then fire up livecd in vm and test it out | 05:40 |
| SubCool | Dr_Willis, i cant figure out how to find those files in aptitutde... is there a base dependency i can install?- for my pastbin file | 05:40 |
| jgomo3 | Docteh_: right. Thankyou, i'll try that. If it don't work, then i'll do it in the livecd in vm given that i'm already there | 05:41 |
| profxavier | DR_W: if I configure sshd_config to allow X11forwarding, and I connect with putty [configured as well to allow forwarding, using localhost:0, then 'echo $DISPLAY' should give me 0, correct ? | 05:41 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: the font warnings are not imporntant - the last one seems to be the issue. | 05:42 |
| Dr_Willis | exec: 5: /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: Permission denied | 05:42 |
| SubCool | oh- | 05:42 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: set up Your .vnc/xstartup to run a specific window manager perhaps. Such as icewm. | 05:42 |
| Docteh_ | profxavier: DISPLAY=:0 is like 6000 or somesuch you also need to make sure the X server is listening on TCP | 05:43 |
| Dr_Willis | profxavier: with ssh i dont think it would be :0 on putty, it does some of its own forwarding. | 05:43 |
| cheosite | hi all, I have a question, there is a download manager in linux like IDM in windows? | 05:43 |
| profxavier | DR_W: which is set in the sshd_config ? correct ? | 05:43 |
| Docteh_ | ssh -X might work around that | 05:43 |
| Dr_Willis | profxavier: I tend to just use the xming wizard to start specific apps. after i start one app. Ive noticed i can putty (ssh) to the linux box and then run more gui apps. | 05:43 |
| Dr_Willis | profxavier: Not sure. It may be. | 05:44 |
| Docteh_ | cheosite: download manager for what | 05:44 |
| SubCool | Dr_Willis, not entirely sure how i would do that. just i just add KDE a space after it? | 05:44 |
| Dr_Willis | ssh i thought had set DISPLAY to be some # other then :0.0 or whatever.. as part of its forwarding | 05:44 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: try a SIMPLE window manager.. | 05:44 |
| SubCool | Dr_Willis, i dont know the difference. | 05:45 |
| cheosite | for download some file like video and other.. | 05:45 |
| profxavier | Docteh, where do you use the -X flag ? | 05:45 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: install 'icewm' and try making the xstartup run that. | 05:45 |
| SubCool | Dr_Willis, Ok, but do i just add icewm a space after xinitrc? | 05:45 |
| Docteh_ | profxavier: ssh -X somewhere.com, putty should have a X forwarding option | 05:46 |
| profxavier | Docteh, have you used putty before ? :D | 05:46 |
| Dr_Willis | you edit the .vnc/xstartup file | 05:46 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: check the contents oif your 'xstartup' file now. | 05:46 |
| Docteh_ | profxavier: not for X forwarding, just for chatting on irc | 05:46 |
| profxavier | Docteh, so you have two options, for -possibly- setting your flag | 05:47 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: you can change the last line --< /etc/X11/Xsession | 05:47 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: tobe 'exec icewm' | 05:47 |
| profxavier | when you configure a host, you do user@IP | 05:47 |
| Docteh_ | so you're running an app on a remote server onto your X server on windowsbox? | 05:47 |
| profxavier | so you dont actually pass the ssh command | 05:47 |
| Metraa | 1400 people here in one big room... are there smaller rooms on this server? I don't think I can handle the feed... | 05:47 |
| profxavier | also, there is, under SSH, enable X11 forwarding [which I normally set] | 05:48 |
| Dr_Willis | Metraa: depends on what topics you are interested in | 05:48 |
| pawan | hi | 05:48 |

| Metraa | @ubottu thanks | 05:49 |
| _NEAToTECH_ | hello shubbar | 05:49 |
| Mr_Sonoma | pawan, open a terminal and type cd ~/.kde4/share/wallpapers/ | 05:49 |

| jgomo3 | i'm using the aptoncd, but the list of packages doesn't show me GIMP neither Python3. The list is a subset of what i see in synaptic. do you now why is happening that? | 05:50 |
| Mr_Sonoma | hmmmmm | 05:50 |
| Dr_Willis | pawan: use the TAB key to properly complete file/dir names perhaps.. | 05:50 |
| SubCool | Dr_Willis, ok< we'll see what happens. Thanks. it is rebooting now. | 05:50 |
| pawan | no its not working | 05:51 |
| anika | ciank,k.............. | 05:51 |
| profxavier | Docteh, which is pretty much the same as standard putty | 05:51 |
| Docteh_ | jgomo3: do you have gimp installed? | 05:51 |
| profxavier | so you dont actually pass the flag | 05:51 |
| profxavier | you just enable X11 forwarding | 05:51 |
| jgomo3 | Docteh_: yes | 05:51 |
| Dr_Willis | pawan: if you dont get the names and CaSe Correct.. it wont work. :) then again. it could be that dir dosent exist... | 05:52 |
| profxavier | and when you do so, you can 'echo $DISPLAY' within the shell | 05:52 |
| TUplink | anyone have issuse with install mailscanner? | 05:52 |
| Docteh_ | profxavier: I know, I looked around for that option | 05:52 |
| pawan | how to check directory exist or not | 05:52 |
| Docteh_ | jgomo3: check in /var/cache/apt/packages <-- might be wrong here, for gimp packages | 05:53 |
| TUplink | apt-get issue http://pastebin.com/ytV2X5XR cant get mailscanner to install | 05:53 |
| nwmatt | Mr_Sonoma: I was using Brasero since it is part of gnome. This worked a few weeks ago. In answer to your question, it does not allow me to select the correct drive, the only option is to write to a file as an iso | 05:53 |
| Metraa | Any help with media codecs? I'd like to play a DVD (region 1) in the default media player instead of VLC, but it doesn't have codecs - the codecs are on my box, for VLC though, and libdvdcss package is installed... any thoughts? | 05:53 |
| Docteh_ | /var/cache/apt/archives | 05:53 |

| Mr_Sonoma | pawan, locate wallpapers and see what that returns | 05:53 |
| jgomo3 | Docteh_: Gimp is not there | 05:53 |
| pawan | how | 05:54 |
| jgomo3 | Docteh_: how can i refresh that cache so it have all the Gimp packages and Python3 too | 05:54 |
| profxavier | ok, anyone else? DR_W ? | 05:54 |
| Mr_Sonoma | pawan, locate wallpapers | 05:54 |
| pawan | it shows /usr/share/backgrounds | 05:54 |
| Mr_Sonoma | pawan, thats the command | 05:54 |

| Docteh_ | jgomo3: the cache dir is stuff downloaded for installing, so either manually download or uninstall and reinstall :-/ | 05:55 |
| Metraa | Thanks, ubot, not really helpful... (lol) Anyway, do I need to copy codecs into mplayer's codec directory? or should I just recompile/reinstall it? | 05:55 |
| Docteh_ | jgomo3: boot the livecd and do like: apt-get install <packages> -d | 05:56 |
| Metraa | aptitude > apt-get | 05:56 |
| Docteh_ | download only, no sense actually installing them :) | 05:56 |
| Dr_Willis | !dvd | 05:56 |

| jgomo3 | Docteh_: yes, i think boot livecd is the solution | 05:56 |
| CkhiKuzad | i am trying to install my lexmark 2600 printer, and the program to install it says my CUPS is out of date, and it requires a version of 1.2 or higher. i checked, and APT thinks that its up to date. | 05:56 |
| Mr_Sonoma | pawan, i'm suspecting the wallpapers are not in your home dir...but i cant remember for sure where KDE puts them. you could ask in #kubuntu since its really a KDE question | 05:56 |
| profxavier | trying to get putty/XMing/Ubuntu to work together, in a Windows 7 environment, anyone else have luck with this :D ? | 05:56 |
| Metraa | Yeah, bad luck... | 05:57 |
| Metraa | lol | 05:57 |
| Docteh_ | hmm | 05:57 |
| Dr_Willis | profxavier: does just the xming stuff work? You dont need to be using putty to get xming going. | 05:57 |
| Dr_Willis | profxavier: xming has its own built in putty last i checked. | 05:57 |
| profxavier | Dr_W: no idea how to set it up | 05:57 |
| Metraa | I never used putty, but there's still a problem. | 05:57 |
| profxavier | how would I run an application, if I just have XMing running ? | 05:58 |
| profxavier | do I run it each time, for each application ? | 05:58 |
| Docteh_ | profxavier: so you fill in :0 on putty for a display and echo $DISPLAY gives you localhost:10.0? | 05:58 |
| Dr_Willis | profxavier: err.. time to read the xming docs then i think | 05:58 |
| profxavier | Docteh | 05:58 |
| profxavier | no, I get nothing from echo $DISPLAY | 05:58 |
| Dr_Willis | profxavier: xming has a wizard you run.. you tell it the ip of the server, user name/pass and program to run. (ie gnome-terminal) | 05:58 |
| Docteh_ | profxavier: i usually just use xming on a lan so DISPLAY=192.168.0.6:0 works | 05:58 |
| Docteh_ | profxavier: ohhhh check your sshd conf | 05:59 |
| profxavier | Docteh, in putty or in XMing ? | 05:59 |
| profxavier | Docteh, my sshd_config, is very correct | 05:59 |
| Dr_Willis | profxavier: i think you are making this harder then it is. :) | 05:59 |
| profxavier | based on everything I have read | 05:59 |
| Docteh_ | profxavier: i punch that in to bash shell like: DISPLAY=192.168.0.6:0 firefox | 05:59 |
| profxavier | Dr_W, if its so easy, then please, do tell me how ? | 05:59 |
| Docteh_ | or export DISPLAY=stuffff | 05:59 |
| profxavier | and 0.6 is your local Windows machine, or the remote Ubuntu box ? | 06:00 |
| Docteh_ | windows | 06:00 |
| profxavier | No protocol specified | 06:00 |
| profxavier | Error: cannot open display: 192.168.0.150:0 | 06:00 |
| Dr_Willis | profxavier: the basics of how i do it on a clean install.. i install xming on the windows box.. install ssh server on linxu box.. run the xming wizard on windows.. tell it my name/pass/ip # and tell it to run gnome-terminal.. a few moments later i get a gnome-terminal window on my linux box.. | 06:00 |
| profxavier | and you have to configure sshd_config... | 06:01 |
| Dr_Willis | profxavier: I could then later use putty if i wanted.. but i dont need to manually use putty at all. | 06:01 |
| Docteh_ | hmm .6 is my voip phone, whoops | 06:01 |
| slgma | how do i set my mousewheel speed | 06:01 |
| slgma | whenever i boot into windows it stays really sensitive | 06:01 |
| Krishna | Is there a H264 GStreamer codec for ubuntu? | 06:02 |
| profxavier | do you configure XMing using XLaunch then ? | 06:02 |
| Dr_Willis | xming 'xlaunch wizard' -> http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/#head-143 | 06:02 |
| profxavier | or do you configure via command line ? | 06:02 |
| Dr_Willis | profxavier: all i ever really do is use that wizard. | 06:02 |
| Dr_Willis | xming IS the 'x server' that runs on windows. t eh wizard starts an instance of it.. If you DONT have any xming running at all.. your X apps CANT be displayed on the windows box. | 06:02 |
| profxavier | ok, so start a program: gnome-terminal | 06:03 |
| profxavier | then, run local ? | 06:03 |
| profxavier | run remote? | 06:03 |
| profxavier | using putty, plink.exe ? | 06:03 |
| profxavier | using ssh? | 06:03 |
| shell-fu | how do i update wine to the latest version? | 06:03 |
| profxavier | shell-fu, sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude safe-upgrade | 06:04 |
| profxavier | shell-fu, that wont be the latest-latest | 06:04 |
| Dr_Willis | profxavier: --> http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/#head-143 PuTTY Link for Xming SSH client) or [WWW]SSH (e.g. using [WWW]Cygwin OpenSSH) with plink.exe or ssh.exe respectively. | 06:04 |
| Viking667 | if you're not using xming, then you'd probably be using another X server (i.e. the X server that comes with Cygwin is a later one than the publically-available xming which has been stuck at 6.9) | 06:04 |
| * Viking667 is disappointed the author of xming decided to charge for versions later than 6.9 | 06:05 | |
| * test1 too | 06:05 | |
| Dr_Willis | xming has its own built in 'mini putty' i guess you can say. | 06:05 |
| shell-fu | profxavier, i need the latest, 1.2 | 06:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Viking667: yep. a bit annoying.. but he has to eat.. | 06:05 |
| CkhiKuzad | ugh. not again. youtube decided to update their crap. is there an update for gstreamer out that fixes the streaming from youtube in totem? | 06:06 |
| profxavier | this is retarded | 06:06 |
| * Viking667 hates the flash player from youtube... | 06:06 | |
| profxavier | there is no way this is easy, its insulting to say so | 06:06 |
| * CkhiKuzad does too. thats why he uses totem instead | 06:06 | |
| Viking667 | What I do is: youtube-dl the link, then use mplayer to play it - seems to come up much faster | 06:06 |
| Viking667 | I've never had much success with totem playing flv files | 06:06 |
| Dr_Willis | profxavier: I found it every easy. Not sure where you are having the issues at. | 06:07 |
| profxavier | the website is the worse set of instructions for doing this | 06:07 |
| Krishna | Is there a H264 GStreamer codec for ubuntu? | 06:07 |
| profxavier | DR_W, its entirety | 06:07 |
| Docteh_ | !x264 | 06:07 |
| profxavier | firstly, you have to add display 10 in the sshd_config | 06:07 |
| Dr_Willis | i always tell it to use plink.exe i recall. thats the xming mini-putty. | 06:07 |
| Docteh_ | haha really? nothing? | 06:07 |
| profxavier | thats a jewel | 06:07 |
| profxavier | DR_W, so I actually launch plink ? | 06:07 |
| Dr_Willis | profxavier: i dont recall ever needing to edit my sshd_config its been a while. | 06:07 |
| CkhiKuzad | Docteh_ i think this might work | 06:08 |
| profxavier | Dr_W: ofcourse you would have to | 06:08 |
| Dr_Willis | profxavier: you run the xming launch wizard and if it wants to know what tool to use to connect to the remote.. i tell it plink | 06:08 |
| CkhiKuzad | nevermind, it didnt | 06:08 |
| * CkhiKuzad tested the command first | 06:08 | |
| Viking667 | !h264 | 06:08 |
| profxavier | Dr_W, now I just find your telling me random things | 06:08 |
| profxavier | if its not specific, its not helping | 06:08 |
| profxavier | ill wait for others to help | 06:08 |
| Dr_Willis | profxavier: you are not being thast spefific either. I dont recall ever having to edit the default ssh config on ubuntu to get this work the last dozen times ive used it, | 06:09 |
| Metraa | My question was misspoken before... I have libdvdcss2 pkg installed, but MOVIE PLAYER won't play dvds, I have to use VLC for it, and I'd rather use the default packaged software. Any tips? | 06:09 |
| Docteh_ | hmm i thought the default sshd config has X11 forwarding disabled | 06:09 |
| profxavier | Dr_W, well, I have been very specific, when I can | 06:09 |
| Viking667 | Metraa: I don't know how to get totem to play them. | 06:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Docteh_: not sure. Ive not used xming in ages. (at least 6 mo) | 06:09 |
| profxavier | DR_W, and us fussing about it is getting us no where, aka: ill get someone else to help | 06:09 |
| Viking667 | I've steered away from that, as I find that mplayer plays everything I throw at it except for chiptune songs (sid, nsf, etc) | 06:10 |
| Docteh_ | I stand corrected, in lucid its not disabled by default | 06:10 |
| Viking667 | (oh, and mod and midi) | 06:10 |
| Metraa | Viking667: it's totem still? (labeled as "Movie Player" at least in lucid) | 06:10 |
| Viking667 | Yeah, totem's the "Movie Player" as I understand it. | 06:10 |
| Krishna | Is there a H264 GStreamer codec for ubuntu? | 06:11 |
| Metraa | that's why I can't get anything to work with it then! haha | 06:11 |
| Viking667 | I can go check out what Mental Murray says when it eventually comes out, but under Lucid at least... | 06:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Im not even sure i got xming installed on my only windows machine any more. | 06:11 |
| Docteh_ | profxavier: is running the X11 traffic via ssh important part of the whole mess? | 06:11 |
| Viking667 | Dr_Willis: if you can, grab cygwin-x - you may find you can do more stuff. | 06:11 |
| profxavier | Docteh, ill pass on the assistance, thanks | 06:11 |
| Metraa | is mplayer better than VLC? (and why?) | 06:11 |
| Docteh_ | ok | 06:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Viking667: last i used cygwin it had some nasty issues.. but that was at least 2 years ago. | 06:11 |
| Viking667 | I find (personally) that mplayer plays more movie formats, and doesn't require that X be running. | 06:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Metraa: i perfer the latest vlc. | 06:12 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 06:12 |
| Viking667 | I've got all three on board - vlc, totem and mplayer. I only seem to use mplayer. | 06:12 |
| Metraa | mplayer plays more than vlc??? that's surprising... | 06:12 |
| Dr_Willis | ive rarely found anything that i cant play in vlc or mplayer. | 06:12 |
| === abhijit is now known as Guest11404 | ||
| Dr_Willis | I cant stand totem much these days. | 06:12 |
| === abhijit_ is now known as abhijit | ||
| Viking667 | Dr_Willis: as I said earlier, sid and nsf, mod and midi tunes.... pretty much it. For those I use xmms (1, not 2 - can't stand 2) | 06:13 |
| Metraa | I have VLC on my win7 box, but it doesn't seem to like DVDs. On linux I seem ok, but I feel a bit on edge... I guess there's no harm in trying mplayer | 06:13 |
| * profxavier jumps around | 06:14 | |
| Metraa | I'll see how many dependencies there are | 06:14 |
| Viking667 | Metraa: don't forget to add win32codecs | 06:14 |
| Metraa | Thanks for your input, guys! I appreciate it! | 06:14 |
| SubCool | Dr_Willis, you seem swamped. Im back- so far no success. but, just hit me if/when ur free | 06:14 |
| Viking667 | (if you haven't already) | 06:14 |
| Viking667 | Metraa: by the way, I had a statement for you over on #mplayer, | 06:14 |
| Docteh_ | I've only tried VLC with deprotected dvds :-/ | 06:14 |
| Viking667 | let me see if I can pull it up again | 06:14 |
| rkvirani | happy I got my dads old P4 1GB laptop with a dead graphics card to boot Ubuntu server so now I can use it as a headless machine!!! | 06:14 |
| Metraa | Viking667: done and done ;-) medibuntu repos are up, win codecs are up, and all that jazz | 06:15 |
| Viking667 | I had said: "Movie Player" is probably totem anyhow... | 06:15 |
| Metraa | VLC works with DVDs but it buffer slower | 06:15 |
| Metraa | I think | 06:15 |
| Viking667 | Metraa: cool. What's complaining then? Totem? or what? | 06:15 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: i cant even rember your problem :) i was about to toy with xming.. but my laptops battery is dead. heh | 06:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Metraa: slower? huh? it plays them at slower speeds? :) | 06:15 |
| SubCool | Dr_Willis, VNC- its ok. | 06:16 |
| Metraa | Viking667: "Movie Player" i.e. Totem is complaining. I have libdvdcss2, win32codecs and all the medibuntu recomended stuff... I pop in a DVD and it says it doesn't know the format... it's a region 1 dvd! | 06:16 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: did you try a simpiler windowmanager and tweaked the xstartup? | 06:17 |
| Metraa | Dr_Willis: buffers slower, from what I can tell - or, in smaller chunks... and more often - so it stops for a second every few minutes | 06:17 |
| Viking667 | do you have libdvdnav as well? | 06:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Metraa: cant say that ive ever noticed the issue.. seems like it would be some other issue going on causeing the stuttering. | 06:17 |
| Metraa | enough to be annoying | 06:17 |
| Metraa | I dont' think I have libdvdnav... never knew about it :-/ should I? | 06:18 |
| Viking667 | helps with front end menus. | 06:18 |
| Viking667 | (I think) | 06:18 |
| Krishna | I installed pidgin from pidgin.im's download page for ubuntu. My friend too did the same. But we cannot have voice chat on google account. But we can have voice chat on Skype. I wish anyone can help me fix this. | 06:18 |
| Viking667 | means mplayer can use dvdnav:// uri | 06:18 |
| SubCool | Dr_Willis, i just removed the /etc/x11/initi/something and put icewm - | 06:18 |
| Viking667 | Krishna: hm. I don't know how to do tat. | 06:19 |
| Viking667 | "that" | 06:19 |
| Metraa | Viking667: sorry, I left #mplayer so I didnt' see it, but thank you for your help | 06:19 |
| * Viking667 bows fractionally. | 06:19 | |
| Metraa | Dr_Willis: I only noticed it on my Win7 box when compared to windows media player (I use VLC for everything on my winbox except DVDs) | 06:19 |
| Krishna | I think i only need to make pidgin use my mic How to ? | 06:20 |
| Krishna | #pidgin provides zero help :( :'( :( | 06:20 |
| profxavier | ok progress | 06:20 |
| profxavier | i have to export DISPLAY | 06:20 |
| profxavier | so I have echo $DISPLAY | 06:21 |
| SubCool | holy shit- ij ust vnc'ed into my windows box- | 06:21 |
| Viking667 | Krishna: have you made sure that Pidgin even _does_ voice chat? | 06:21 |
| SubCool | there has to be something wrong with my ubuntu box. | 06:21 |
| Metraa | Thanks for the media help, guys! Time to get that DVD spinning! catch you later - Thanks Viking and Willis! | 06:21 |
| Metraa | ./bow | 06:21 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: you got vnc from linuix -> windows working ? | 06:22 |
| guampa | profxavier: can u use xdmcp over ssh? | 06:22 |
| profxavier | what is xdmcp ? | 06:22 |
| dustin | Hello, anyone know why i cant set my wireless passphrase (ubuntu server), i get Set encode error when its longer than 5 characters? | 06:22 |
| guampa | kinda "remote gdm" | 06:22 |
| guampa | remote x login | 06:22 |
| IdleOne | !language | SubCool | 06:22 |
| ubottu | SubCool: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 06:22 |
| Dr_Willis | profxavier: a way that X machines can have applitions dispklayed across the network. | 06:22 |
| guampa | i've used it once with xming | 06:23 |
| profxavier | guampa, I cannot even get xeyes to work | 06:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Its nifty. but a little 'old' so lacking in some ways | 06:23 |
| guampa | you see gnome panel along with windows bar | 06:23 |
| profxavier | so I doubt that will work | 06:23 |
| guampa | ah ok | 06:23 |
| Dr_Willis | to get xdmcp working. You need to configure GDM to allow it. | 06:23 |
| guampa | Dr_Willis: but can it be done over ssh -X¿ | 06:23 |
| guampa | ? | 06:24 |
| Dr_Willis | basucally with it. you sit down at PC #1. and on teh login screen you can tell it to 'query' the network. and you can see what other remote boxs you can access. You login to them and basically have a 'desktop' runniong on them that you see on your local machine | 06:24 |
| Dr_Willis | guampa: never noticed. It sort of is like the old way it was done.. ssh has grown to do basically the same thing. only more securely | 06:24 |
| Suit_Of_Sables | hey gang, the mactel ubuntu documentation page suggests keeping an install of OSX on your machine to ensure you can get firmware updates. I would like to single boot for speed and simplicity. I have a cloned OSX install on an external. I should be able to boot into that for firmware upgrades correct? | 06:25 |
| Viking667 | xdmcp works okay until you need to have it connect to your local X server. Then it goes a bit awry. | 06:25 |
| Suit_Of_Sables | oops, documentations says thats fine. sorry for the unnessisary question | 06:26 |
| profxavier | how would I check the firewall on my Ubuntu box, to ensure I can X11 over ssh ? | 06:26 |
| Viking667 | just make sure that port 22 is open in both directions | 06:26 |
| Dr_Willis | I recall ages ago using xdmcp to have on one (local on my desk) machine with 4 differnt X sessions - each on a different machine on the lan. | 06:26 |
| Viking667 | i.e. target-box:22 | 06:26 |
| profxavier | which it is, cause I can ssh in | 06:26 |
| abhijit | profxavier, sudo ufw status | 06:26 |
| guampa | i only remember having used it once, to connect to a colinux instance in winXP | 06:26 |
| SubCool | Dr_Willis, ya, my laptop to my other laptop | 06:26 |
| guampa | when i couldn't run native linux at work | 06:27 |
| Dr_Willis | profxavier: to see what firewall rules are enabled --> sudo iptables --list | 06:27 |
| profxavier | whats with the offset! | 06:27 |
| Dr_Willis | guampa: ywa. those linux 'in windows' setups can be very nice. | 06:27 |
| profxavier | the offset is 10 in sshd_config | 06:27 |
| Dr_Willis | guampa: ive seen some that use vnc, others that use xming. | 06:27 |
| guampa | it was damn cool to have gnome and windows running along | 06:27 |
| profxavier | but I configure putty for 0 | 06:27 |
| profxavier | and I set DISPLAY to 0 ? or 10? | 06:28 |
| Viking667 | 10 | 06:28 |
| profxavier | grrrr! | 06:28 |
| Viking667 | on the remote end, DISPLAY=localhost:10 | 06:28 |
| zyw | hello | 06:28 |
| Dr_Willis | ssh sort of auto-reroutes things to a differnt #. :) not sure why.. | 06:28 |
| Viking667 | but that only works if yours is the only ssh connection being forwarded to X | 06:28 |
| profxavier | winClipboardProc - DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 | 06:28 |
| profxavier | winClipboardProc - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened the display. | 06:28 |
| Viking667 | Dr_Willis: yes, there isa reason. | 06:28 |
| profxavier | thats in my XMing logs | 06:28 |
| Viking667 | profxavier: hmmm. Weird. | 06:29 |
| st33l | hmmm | 06:29 |
| st33l | after some more failures im back :( | 06:29 |
| profxavier | and I tried various export statements | 06:29 |
| Viking667 | I wonder if Xming is talking about connections to itself | 06:29 |
| Dr_Willis | ssh -X 192.168.1.20 | 06:29 |
| Viking667 | Dr_Willis: heh. Yup. | 06:29 |
| Hilikus | i have a server and a laptop. the server uses dynip and the laptop can access it when outside the LAN by using the dynip name, but once the laptop is in the same network it can not access the server using the same name. i have to use the server's hostname directly. this breaks all my bookmarks and apps configs cause sometimes the server is called one thing, and when outside the network another thing | 06:29 |
| Hilikus | how can i fix this? | 06:29 |
| Dr_Willis | $DISPLAY ---> localhost:10.0 | 06:29 |
| zyw | how to play? | 06:29 |
| SubCool | Dr_Willis, ya- xtightvncviewer: ConnectToTcpAddr: connect: Connection refused | 06:29 |
| SubCool | Unable to connect to VNC server | 06:29 |
| Krishna | Viking667, Yes, only for pidgin to pidgin on gmail account | 06:29 |

| wiesshund | Hilikus>> does the laptop have internet access when on the lan? | 06:30 |
| st33l | has anyone had networking issues with ubuntu 10.04 | 06:30 |
| st33l | on ethernet | 06:30 |
| abhijit | !cn | zyw | 06:30 |
| ubottu | zyw: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 06:30 |
| Hilikus | wiesshund: yes, it has internet access in both cases and it can access the server in both cases, but using different addresses, i want to use a single address (the external one) | 06:30 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: i ssh to remote 'server' run vncserver, it says -> New 'X' desktop is server:1 | 06:30 |
| guampa | Hilikus: you can modify your /etc/hosts to force a name resolution | 06:31 |
| * profxavier thinks maybe just using VNC is the best solution | 06:31 | |
| shell-fu | fml, is anything better/equivalent to empathy for IRC? | 06:31 |
| SubCool | Dr_Willis, xtightvncviewer | 06:31 |
| SubCool | is what i put- i got a lil box for the addy- and that was it. | 06:31 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: so i --> $ vncviewer 192.168.1.20:1 | 06:31 |
| guampa | profxavier: haven't you tried nx? | 06:31 |
| Hilikus | guampa: i know, but i cant resolve to 1 thing since it depends wether i'm in or outside the network | 06:31 |
| wiesshund | Hilikus>> if you have net access on the laptop inside the lan, and the server is using a dynip service, you should still be able to see the server on the lan as you do outside | 06:31 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: i tell it the ip# of my server and the port:1 | 06:31 |
| SubCool | same | 06:31 |
| profxavier | Viking, did you check the URL ? | 06:31 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: saves it asking in a dialog. | 06:32 |
| guampa | script a net detector and voila | 06:32 |
| doctorZeus | anyone know of or recommend any hard drive performance/diagnostic utilities for Ubuntu/linux? I've been screwing around for days trying to get a raid enclosure working and I'm afraid I may have screwed with the bios and lowered performance for all my drives | 06:32 |
| SubCool | oh | 06:32 |
| profxavier | guampa, no, I have not | 06:32 |
| SubCool | ya, doesnt work | 06:32 |
| guampa | profxavier: well i use it and runs over ssh | 06:32 |
| profxavier | im have been soly working on xming | 06:32 |
| guampa | and it's way faster than plain X | 06:32 |
| profxavier | guampa, is it windows or linux ? | 06:32 |
| SubCool | Dr_Willis, for some reason the computer is refusing the connection | 06:32 |
| SubCool | idk y? | 06:32 |
| Hilikus | wiesshund: i see it, but not using the dynip address | 06:32 |
| guampa | has clients for both | 06:32 |
| SubCool | i can ssh into it | 06:32 |
| wiesshund | Hilikus>> what is handling the DNS on your lan? | 06:32 |
| Viking667 | Plain X works pretty darn quick for me, at least until they turned off TCP listening on the X server by default. *sigh* | 06:33 |
| Dr_Willis | nx/freenx is a LOT faster then vnc. :) but its a little more complex. | 06:33 |
| Hilikus | wiesshund: nothing. my isp | 06:33 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: the linux box is refusing to let the windows machuine in? or what exactly? | 06:33 |
| dustin | anyone knowledgable with wifi setup? my passphrase refuses to set :x | 06:33 |
| === slidinghorn is now known as [-slidinghorn-] | ||
| guampa | Viking667: over slow networks there's a big difference imo. over lan probably not | 06:33 |
| profxavier | i see freenx | 06:33 |
| profxavier | which has Debian packages | 06:33 |
| Viking667 | I like using compression to Norway. | 06:34 |
| profxavier | what is the Windows one ? | 06:34 |
| guampa | profxavier: be aware there's freenx and a commercial nx | 06:34 |
| Viking667 | from here, it's pretty much around the other side of the world. | 06:34 |
| Dr_Willis | NX also had some other neat features compared to vnc. | 06:34 |
| guampa | the latter has a "beer free" version, that's the one i've tried | 06:34 |

| profxavier | ok, sorry | 06:38 |
| profxavier | to get the nx server? | 06:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Theres 'freenx' and 'neatx' from what i am reading at --< https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX | 06:38 |

| guampa | ah neatx i hadn't heard of | 06:39 |
| SubCool | although it does allow ssh. - i dont hink changing the file did anything. | 06:39 |
| Viking667 | SubCool: for what reasons again? | 06:39 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: ok. lets clarify. You did ssh in? and run vncserver ? you are checking the vnc logs in .vnc/ | 06:39 |
| Viking667 | you're using thedefault port (5900)? | 06:39 |
| SubCool | Viking667, what? | 06:39 |
| ibrahim | Is there RDP with ubutnu ? | 06:39 |

| frimend | How come? | 06:39 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: you DID close.restart the vncserver after altering that file>? | 06:39 |
| profxavier | is the repos case sensitive ? | 06:40 |
| SubCool | Dr_Willis, i rebooted the machine | 06:40 |

| ibrahim | Viking667: VNC is too slow | 06:40 |
| SubCool | Viking667, supposedly | 06:40 |

| SubCool | ibrahim, ya- but sometimes its necessary | 06:40 |
| Dr_Willis | frimend: short answer 'idiot proofing' | 06:40 |
| ibrahim | SubCool: what is necessary ? | 06:41 |
| student | Can I ask about processors In here? | 06:41 |
| Viking667 | SubCool: does that mean you don't know? Does it turn up in a process listing? Or is it activated with xinitd? | 06:41 |

| SubCool | _st33l, ouch | 06:42 |
| frimend | Dr_Willis: I'll read the article, it seems to be exacly what I was looking for. Or even better than that. | 06:42 |
| frimend | Thank you. | 06:42 |
| SubCool | Im a gui person- im finally giving up andgoing with cli | 06:42 |
| ibrahim | SubCool: but rdp is gui as well vnc is too heavy and slow unlike rdp | 06:42 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: so.. check your .vnc/whatever log and see if its giveing a clue why vncserver is not running | 06:43 |
| SubCool | Viking667, i logged in ssh and ran the server manually.. and i have a script to auto run it every time the server boots | 06:43 |
| _st33l | hmmm | 06:43 |
| Viking667 | SubCool: right. So, at the moment, is the server running? What does its logs say? | 06:43 |
| student | I have been ignored. | 06:43 |
| SubCool | ibrahim, i cant stand rdp- i just got it working and everythign fell apart. thats why im doing thismess. because rdp sucks. it always falls the #@#R . VNC is better- | 06:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Reading along at --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX and it seems to say enable the ppa:freenx-team PPA. then install 'neatx' but.. ths seems a confuseing name for the PPA... | 06:43 |
| ibrahim | SubCool: but vnc is slower, right ? | 06:44 |
| Dr_Willis | student: this is 'ubuntu support' theres also the #hardware channel and #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:44 |
| student | Thank you very much Dr_Willis | 06:44 |
| profxavier | ok, looks like nxserver is installed | 06:44 |
| SubCool | ibrahim, then rdp? no- depends on ur network | 06:45 |
| profxavier | but it doesnt appear to be -running- | 06:45 |
| profxavier | i cannot connect, from the Windows client | 06:45 |
| guampa | profxavier: which nx have you installed? | 06:45 |
| SubCool | Dr_Willis, the log has changed. i no longer have that error with the icewm. But i do still have the font eros. and that securitypolice error still | 06:45 |
| ibrahim | SubCool: I have an internal network and the switch speed is 10/100 mb | 06:45 |
| profxavier | sudo aptitude install neatx-server | 06:46 |
| SubCool | ibrahim, is it a seperate switch? | 06:46 |
| ibrahim | sorry what do you mean by serperate ? | 06:46 |
| SubCool | i have a 4 port router.. and a 4 router switch piggie backed onto it | 06:46 |
| guampa | sorry can't help with that one | 06:46 |
| profxavier | ah, its from Google :D | 06:47 |
| SubCool | the router cant handle the switch work and the router work- it slows everythign down. if u take the load of the router chipset, and put it on something else- like its own. Its SOO much faster. i found such higher transfer rates across the board | 06:47 |
| ibrahim | SubCool: 5 computers are connected to that switch | 06:48 |
| SubCool | the wireless is a pitfall. if that could be seperate with a Cisco AP or soemthing- ;-) | 06:48 |
| Rabbitbunny | So... I can't find my volume manager, it disappeared. 9.10 upgraded to 10.04. | 06:48 |
| * profxavier is feeling deflated | 06:48 | |
| SubCool | ibrahim, what kinda switch | 06:48 |
| SwedeMike | SubCool: most likely the 4 switch ports on the router is a switch chip, the performance of L2 switching between those ports is excellent since this is not handled by the router cpu | 06:48 |
| SubCool | SwedeMike, idk what they say they do- i have tested it all... i know what works.. | 06:49 |
| guampa | SubCool: sounds reasonable, wonder how it never came up | 06:49 |
| SubCool | did it for work :-) | 06:49 |
| SubCool | same goes for the gigbit vs gigbyte crap | 06:50 |
| profxavier | what do you use for nx server? | 06:51 |
| SubCool | just fiddling with numbers to make a profit, either way- the chipset can barely handle the work. - Most PCI Ethernet cards useto , and still do. come with a spot for a chip so u can add ram or something. It maximizes performace by like 30% or something | 06:51 |
| ibrahim | SubCool: Dlink | 06:52 |
| SubCool | guampa, it has come up- that is why when you see a commercial rack, each device is seperate. you CAN have a router and a switch- but thats just to save people from having to buy two different things. | 06:52 |
| SubCool | ibrahim, if you want- grab another 4port router, and put it into bridge switch mode | 06:53 |
| rkvirani | ls | 06:53 |
| SubCool | DD-wrt | 06:53 |
| SubCool | tomato | 06:53 |
| SubCool | you'll see a lil differnce- a real switch will do the thing. | 06:53 |
| SubCool | i have 3- | 06:53 |
| SwedeMike | guampa: just for reference, I haven't experienced a single residential router with switch ports that didn't have a separate switch chip for that port and had excellent switching performance between those ports. I've been in the networking business for 15+ years, CPU based switches/routers stopped being used around 1995-96. | 06:54 |
| Viking667 | heh. I have one 8-port switch here, and a DSL router/modem with four more ports on it. | 06:54 |
| SubCool | so does anyone know to figure this error log out? how do i install the fonts? | 06:54 |
| SubCool | let me grab a link | 06:54 |
| Viking667 | so I have about ten ports to play with once I link the two together | 06:54 |
| SubCool | http://pastebin.org/437677 | 06:55 |

| Dr_Willis | SubCool: then ran 'vncserver' then answered the questions, then quit the server 'vncserver -kill :1' then edited .vnc/xstartup as i wanted | 07:03 |
| SubCool | yep | 07:04 |
| profxavier | node and client are needed for server | 07:04 |

| OxDeadC0de | anyone know of a .deb or ppa that has jackd with portaudio support already working for 10.04? | 07:04 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: i can then ssh to the remote server. run 'vncserver' then i monitor the logs (in another terminal/ssh session) tail -f ~/.vnc/server:\1.log | 07:05 |
| hotfloppy | yeah.. download the package then put it on CD/DVD.. | 07:05 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: i see my clients connect/disconnect in the log output | 07:05 |

| pawan | hi | 07:05 |

| SubCool | Dr_Willis, tail -f ~/.vnc/server:\1.log | 07:09 |

| Viking667 | SubCool: hm. Do you have a /home/subcool/.vnc directory? | 07:09 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: my vnc SERVER's name is 'server' :) yours may differ. | 07:10 |
| SubCool | my server name is "shitbucket" | 07:10 |
| SubCool | no joke | 07:10 |
| Dr_Willis | SubCool: LOOK in the .vnc directory and see whats there | 07:10 |

| GladosS | So how do I get another browser? | 07:20 |
| seidos | Dr_Willis, all right, that's what I'm already doing. I thought I could make a nifty icon and what not. Thanks Dr_Willis | 07:20 |
| profxavier | guampa, so it doesnt use my ssh stuff directly | 07:20 |
| profxavier | like my key | 07:20 |
| Dr_Willis | GladosS: firefox is instaklled by defauilt. | 07:20 |

| profxavier | i have to add it into this dir | 07:20 |
| Dr_Willis | GladosS: since when? | 07:20 |
| Dr_Willis | GladosS: you are confused I guess.. its free. | 07:20 |

| iammisc | I have three 100gb hard disks which I'd like to install ubuntu on. But I'd like them to appear as one disk. This is possible with the linux mdadm driver. However, Does 10.04 desktop edition support this setup? or will I have to use the alternate installation cd? | 07:28 |
| iammisc | And if I use the alternate cd, will I get the same desktop features? | 07:28 |
| Hidnshadows | is i386 the newest version, or did I do something wrong? | 07:29 |
| guampa | iammisc: afaik yes and yes | 07:29 |
| hiexpo | Hidnshadows, i386 is 32 bit | 07:29 |
| iammisc | guampa: Will the alternate cd ask me if I want to install the desktop packages? | 07:30 |
| Hidnshadows | it said it was the preferred for most users, and I'm running it on a netbook | 07:30 |
| SubCool | #topic | 07:30 |
| ibrahim | is there an easy software for backing up my system or clonning it ? | 07:30 |
| guampa | iammisc: haven't used it for a long while, but i ended up with a desktop with alt installer | 07:30 |
| Hidnshadows | which alternate installer? just wondering | 07:31 |
| guampa | so yes it installed the desktop packages | 07:31 |
| * Viking667 disconnects | 07:31 | |
| iammisc | Okay cool. Thanks for your help. I'm trying to migrate my setup from gentoo to ubuntu. Gentoo's nice but my parents can't wrangle with portage. haha | 07:31 |
| profxavier | guampa, so I should just use the default generated keys? | 07:31 |
| profxavier | or can I use my password protected ones ? | 07:32 |
| Hidnshadows | so I'm guessing the 32-bit system has been cut down to run? | 07:32 |
| ibrahim | Can i clone my system and install it on another pc ? | 07:33 |
| profxavier | ibrahim, sure can | 07:33 |
| Dr_Willis | ibrahim: thats possible. | 07:33 |
| Hidnshadows | I would think that just installing it there would be easier | 07:33 |
| === spyrosebastos is now known as spiros | ||
| ibrahim | profxavier: how to this | 07:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Yep. it can cause issues.. | 07:34 |
| guampa | profxavier: don't know for sure if it supports passphrased keys | 07:34 |
| Dr_Willis | I wonder how the UUID's would gethandled.. that could be a problem | 07:34 |
| guampa | letme check | 07:34 |
| profxavier | ibrahim, are they using similar hardware ? | 07:34 |
| Hidnshadows | so is there any way to change splash or login screens on 32Bit? | 07:34 |
| ibrahim | profxavier: actually no so i guess it will not work right ? | 07:34 |
| Janus5 | I just wish to say: To anyone that contributes to this OS, THANK YOU. | 07:35 |
| profxavier | ibrahim, well, its not the best solution, no | 07:35 |
| guampa | profxavier: it looks like it don't | 07:35 |
| profxavier | guampa, agreed | 07:35 |
| profxavier | so, ill use the generated keys, I guess | 07:35 |
| ibrahim | profxavier: well can you please tell me how to back up my system anyway ? | 07:35 |
| profxavier | so do I have to reconfig sshd ? | 07:35 |
| guampa | anyway try first with the default ones | 07:36 |
| profxavier | or thats just a totally seperate service ? | 07:36 |
| ibrahim | profxavier: i tried clonezilla but it was a bit hard to a newbie like me. | 07:36 |
| guampa | profxavier: no it uses your existing sshd | 07:36 |

| profxavier | guampa, so ill have to not allow password enabled keys? | 07:36 |
| Hidnshadows | @mmfb are you using a graphics card? | 07:36 |
| profxavier | in its entirity | 07:37 |
| guampa | profxavier: if you are using the AllowUsers option, be sure to add the nx user to the list | 07:37 |
| ibrahim | profxavier: I will only use it on my laptop because different hardware on the computers. | 07:37 |
| guampa | profxavier: no not at all, you can accept them in the server, just don't use them for the nx session | 07:37 |
| guampa | use different pairs of keys | 07:38 |
| profxavier | let me try this | 07:38 |

| bazhang | Hidnshadows, this is support only | 07:40 |
| Hidnshadows | I know, and I came here with a question | 07:41 |
| Janus5 | Question: Is there a way to adjust the size of one's Swap Partition? | 07:41 |
| guampa | profxavier: yes the private one | 07:41 |
| casualjim | hi guys, I'm having trouble making java based daemons to start from upstart, init.d or rc.local | 07:41 |
| euphorial | of course you can, but you might compromise your current installation/boot/files/etc. | 07:41 |
| Hidnshadows | So basically, don't expect entire customization with the 32 bit version? | 07:41 |
| blitzo | can someone point me to a URL that clarifies the difference between kubuntu, xubuntu, and ubuntu? | 07:41 |
| profxavier | weird | 07:42 |
| profxavier | im tired | 07:42 |
| profxavier | i give up | 07:42 |
| Hidnshadows | Night profxavier | 07:42 |
| euphorial | I installed kubuntu primarily because of the KDE environment. | 07:42 |
| Janus5 | Ah, so poor idea. When I originally installed Ubuntu, I WAY overdid the size of my Swap. | 07:42 |
| guampa | profxavier: happend exactly like you the first time | 07:42 |
| euphorial | ubuntu is gnome oriented and works with different programs | 07:42 |
| guampa | tomorrow it will work, just read up some docs | 07:42 |
| Janus5 | I tried Kubuntu a long time ago, but had problems finding software. | 07:42 |
| guampa | it's not too difficult | 07:42 |
| Hidnshadows | Okay, I'll just take that silence as an affirmative. Night guys, and thanks for helping everyone | 07:43 |
| euphorial | In the end, it's all ubuntu, just different environmental things, and different programs. | 07:43 |
| blitzo | can someone point me to a URL that clarifies the difference between kubuntu, xubuntu, and ubuntu? | 07:43 |
| profxavier | everything done under linux is difficult | 07:43 |
| euphorial | Have you tried google or ubuntu.com ? | 07:43 |
| Hidnshadows | blizto, the only thing I can think of would be to just Wiki them | 07:43 |
| profxavier | whether you say it or not :D | 07:43 |
| Niglop | Is there a way I can make it so my terminal is always the size I want? | 07:43 |
| euphorial | Everything about *ubuntu is on the sites. | 07:43 |
| Hidnshadows | Night | 07:43 |
| blitzo | Niglop, create a profile for your terminal - you can specify the screensize | 07:44 |
| Janus5 | I tried Googling about 'resize swap space', but what I found tended to be about live disks. Unless maybe I NEED a live disk to perform such an operation. | 07:44 |
| Niglop | thanks blitzo | 07:44 |
| mmfb | I'm currently trying to play Hitman: Codename 47 through Wine 1.2-rc3 but when I try to run hitman.exe I get this error message: "Direct3D: No suitable hardware found" I'm running a NVIDIA V.173 driver, so what happened? | 07:44 |
| blitzo | Janus5, why do u need to resize swap | 07:44 |
| guampa | profxavier: won't deny it, but it changes over time :D | 07:44 |
| Janus5 | I would not say everything under Linux is hard, but it you're an old DOS hand like myself, things like "Sudo" and whatnot make the eyes spin. =) | 07:44 |
| Niglop | blitzo» i created a new profile, how do i specify the screensize? | 07:45 |
| blitzo | Niglop, it's one of the options | 07:45 |
| === geowany is now known as geowany`sleeping | ||
| guampa | also i agree with Janus5, i'm a cli junkie | 07:45 |
| Niglop | blitzo» i looked but i cant find it? | 07:45 |
| profxavier | guampa, its like when I wanted to play guitar, I just wanted to wake up someday and I was great at it | 07:45 |
| blitzo | Niglop, hang on i go look | 07:45 |
| profxavier | that day, never happened | 07:46 |
| Niglop | tnkas | 07:46 |
| Niglop | thanks** | 07:46 |
| Janus5 | Blitzo: I have a 2GB RAM system and made my swap space about 18GB. WAY overkill. | 07:46 |
| guampa | profxavier: yes, but the click happens always, that's the oblig mindset | 07:46 |
| Janus5 | I need a book or something on Ubuntu 10, or some overall guide, really, before I get anywhere NEAR as comphy in *nix as I am in Windows. | 07:47 |
| Janus5 | Even *sigh* Vista. | 07:47 |
| bazhang | !manual | Janus5 | 07:47 |
| ubottu | Janus5: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 07:47 |
| blitzo | Niglop, if you are using the default terminal, click on 'terminal' and it is one of the options. just explore them. | 07:47 |
| Niglop | sorry blitzo accidently disconnected, what did you say? | 07:48 |
| Janus5 | Thanks, Bazhang, ubottu. Hopefully, I can resize the swap without killing the PC. | 07:48 |
| profxavier | ok, so two keys are generated | 07:48 |
| bareego | Janus5, just keep using it, you be fine | 07:48 |
| profxavier | on my client, I can click default | 07:48 |
| bareego | and fiddle with stuff | 07:48 |
| profxavier | and that generates a private key | 07:48 |
| profxavier | also, in /var/lib/nxserver/home/.ssh there was a key | 07:49 |
| profxavier | which is a public key | 07:49 |
| blitzo | Janus5, theoretically your swap shouldn't exceed 1.5x the size of physical memory but i don't know as if it will really slow the system that much. still, if i had to resize it, i think i'd boot off a livecd, delete the swap partition, and make a new one. i can't see how you'd recover the lost space, it won't be part of any partition | 07:49 |
| profxavier | what am I missing ? | 07:49 |
| bareego | depends on the file system | 07:49 |
| guampa | profxavier: what error exactly does it give you? it has a details display | 07:50 |
| Janus5 | Blitzo: Gotcha. I'll Need to go get a LiveCD image then. I've been doing a lot of x264 encoding and web surfing, never saw swap space exceed 100MB. Hence my thinking 18GB is a trife overkill. | 07:50 |
| kk9822 | hi | 07:50 |
| guampa | profxavier: also on the server run "tailf /var/log/secure" while you connect, it will show useful info | 07:51 |
| blitzo | Janus5, use gparted to do that - which might not be on the livecd. so after you boot the livecd, go to a shell and "apt-get install gparted". or you could use fdisk if you are more comfortable with that | 07:51 |
| Janus5 | I installed Ubuntu 8 then gave up 'till the other day when I restarted it, updated to 10, and made an effort to learn it this time. | 07:51 |
| profxavier | how about tailing auth? | 07:51 |
| profxavier | i never knew there was a tailf | 07:51 |
| Janus5 | Blitzo - gparted, got it. This is NOT something that should be attempted on a running system, correct? | 07:51 |
| blitzo | Janus5, the problem is if you get into using the swap, having an excessively large space defined can make your system slow. | 07:52 |
| guampa | tailf is a great tool | 07:52 |
| kk9822 | i have a prob i cant update my ubuntu 10.04 | 07:52 |
| blitzo | Janus5, you cannot remove the swap space on system that is using it | 07:52 |
| profxavier | i always just use tail, with the flag | 07:52 |
| Janus5 | Blitzo: That may explain a few things; it's at 18GB now, I was going to shrink the swap down to 3GB or something. | 07:52 |
| Janus5 | Understood. | 07:52 |
| guampa | it's an alias almost | 07:53 |
| profxavier | now auth fails | 07:53 |
| blitzo | Janus5, make it 1.5 physical ram | 07:53 |
| profxavier | i must have messed something up | 07:53 |
| kk9822 | when i try to do it gives error like this ailed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/universe/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.45 80] | 07:53 |
| kk9822 | Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. | 07:53 |
| kk9822 | pl help me | 07:53 |
| ^Jay2^ | aside from gyachi, is there a better yahoo messenger replacement that supports voice and video calls? | 07:53 |
| Janus5 | I had originally created the partitions in Vista; naturally, the Windows application I had used can't modify it anymore, as it has no clue what the file systems linux uses are. | 07:53 |
| kk9822 | it is since 12 days i updated | 07:53 |
| blitzo | Janus5, windows also uses swap but they don't give you options to config at setup time | 07:53 |
| Janus5 | Blitzo: 1.5? Awesome. | 07:53 |
| guampa | profxavier: the only way to know what is wrong is to find out what error the server/client are indicating | 07:53 |
| profxavier | kk9822, copy your 'sudo apt-get update' to pastebin | 07:53 |
| profxavier | that would be really helpful | 07:54 |
| ^Jay2^ | sorry not yahoo messenger replacement but gyachi replacement. I need yahoo messenger voice and video call | 07:54 |
| blitzo | Janus5, 1.5 times physical ram. if you have 4g of ram, make your swap 6g | 07:54 |
| Janus5 | I' | 07:54 |
| guampa | profxavier: so tail all the logs you can | 07:54 |
| Janus5 | I've 2GB. | 07:54 |
| blitzo | Janus5, then 3g is a fair number | 07:54 |
| Suit_Of_Sables | is there a nondestructive way to set up your partition tables? or is only the resizing of existing partitions with GParted potentially nondestructive? rEFIt's sycn function tells me my GPT and MBR partition tables overlap | 07:54 |
| Janus5 | Older Gateway I'm flogging to death. The new toys come with 6GB these days. Wow. | 07:54 |
| profxavier | yeah, just tailed auth.log | 07:54 |
| profxavier | and there was an issue | 07:54 |
| blitzo | Janus5, the 1.5 is not a hard and fast rule | 07:55 |
| profxavier | Jul 31 23:59:57 profx-ubuntu sshd[10996]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user nx by (uid=0) | 07:55 |
| profxavier | Jul 31 23:59:59 profx-ubuntu sshd[10996]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session closed for user nx | 07:55 |
| profxavier | but I do have sshd setup to only allow keys | 07:55 |
| profxavier | so do I have to use a different user ? | 07:55 |
| Janus5 | Blitzo: Your advice seems sound, though. I'll probably not even use 3GB, but I want to be ready should I ever decide to try playing Fallout via WINE. | 07:55 |
| blitzo | Janus5, linux is extremely efficient with ram - 2g ram is not enough to run any windows version but more than enough for any linux | 07:56 |
| blitzo | Janus5, better to be too big than too small!!! | 07:56 |
| guampa | profxavier: i remember having the same problem | 07:56 |
| guampa | letme check | 07:56 |
| blitzo | Janus5, do you know what swap is? | 07:56 |
| Janus5 | Blitzo: Tell me about it. Vista uses 1.4BG or so AT STARTUP. And this Gateway (GT5408, Core2Duo e4300) came with ONE GIG. | 07:56 |
| kk9822 | nothing is happening profxavier | 07:57 |
| Janus5 | Blitzo: Swap being the physical space on an HDD that an OS uses when RAM becomes too packed? | 07:57 |
| profxavier | kk9822, are you sure? | 07:57 |
| profxavier | sudo apt-get update OR sudo aptitude update | 07:57 |
| guampa | profxavier:hang on i think i have it | 07:58 |
| kk9822 | nothing is happening profxavierrkk5413 | 07:58 |
| blitzo | Janus5, when your system runs low on physical ram, it writes out part of its memory to swap to free it up for other things. when the running program whose memory has been swapped starts running again, its memory copy is read back in off of disk. if you run out of swap you will crash | 07:58 |
| profxavier | kk9822, paste the output, into pastebin.ca, anyways | 07:59 |
| profxavier | lets have a look | 07:59 |
| profxavier | kk9822, also, cat /etc/apt/sources.list | 07:59 |
| profxavier | and pastebin that too | 07:59 |
| Janus5 | Blitzo: Thanks, it's been a long while... used to be IT Support (end-user) but that was some time back now. Now... I'm busted back to Level1 Nubie. | 07:59 |
| kk9822 | prof it finished updating next what | 08:00 |
| guampa | profxavier: are you running sshd on port 22 ? | 08:00 |
| profxavier | kk9822, what do you want to do ? | 08:00 |
| profxavier | guampa, have always been :D | 08:00 |
| crash_ | Linux is infinitely customizable, right? | 08:00 |
| kk9822 | i wnt to update ubuntu and my update manager should work | 08:00 |
| blitzo | Janus5, when you start running low on both physical and swap, your system will thrash - copying back and forth between swap and physical memory quickly, the harddisk goes berserk and system slows to a crawl. you don't want to get to that. use enough swap. 1.5 times to 2 times physical ram is about right | 08:00 |
| profxavier | crash, every computer software has its limitations | 08:00 |
| guampa | crash_: to the last quark | 08:00 |
| profxavier | quark O_o | 08:01 |
| profxavier | qubit :D | 08:01 |
| guampa | :D | 08:01 |
| crash_ | Then how do I make it so that when I select a text box, having the cursor on the right side of the caret actually selects that text instead of the text opposite? | 08:01 |
| profxavier | i wonder if ill be alive during quantum computing... | 08:01 |
| profxavier | i do hope so :D | 08:01 |
| Janus5 | Blitzo: Will do. I'll shrink it down to 4GB. That should be enough, based off of what you're saying, for a 2GB system. Linux,as you said, seems to use RAM very efficiently, unlike Vista, which is my other OS here. | 08:02 |
| Tonius | Hi! Can you help me? I want to my bond0 is work, when I turn off first link or second... And speed must be 200mb/s (eth0 and eth1 - 100mb/s) What mode i need to use ? | 08:02 |
| Janus5 | Blitzo: I figure I might not even need 4GB ,but better safe than sorry. I DO know my current 18GB is silly, though. | 08:02 |
| profxavier | lol | 08:03 |
| profxavier | 18GB for ? | 08:03 |
| kk9822 | how do i paste to bin | 08:03 |
| bareego | Janus5, depends what you wanna run on it, if it's just a desktop your normally don't need much at all | 08:03 |
| profxavier | kk9822, pastebin.ca | 08:03 |
| bareego | if it's a proxy server with big databases etc it might be a different story | 08:04 |
| abhijit | !paste | kk9822 | 08:04 |
| ubottu | kk9822: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 08:04 |
| profxavier | kk9822, copy text, paste it into site, click button, supply room with URL | 08:04 |
| [thor] | pastebinit is the way of the future heh | 08:04 |
| Janus5 | bareego: Yup, just a desktop. Of late, I've done a LOT of h.264 encoding in handbrake, and MAY at some point try Fallout 3 via Wine. (Or I'll just use Windows for that). | 08:04 |
| kk9822 | pl give me the terminal command | 08:04 |
| picard1421 | nhey whe ni do ./configure --with is there a without? command or is it --with-whatever=false??? | 08:04 |
| [thor] | Kk9822: sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 08:05 |
| Grivvel | Heya. Does anybody know if there's a good X-Windows channel? I'm looking for some information about xlib (specifically, how to get an XID for an existing window by name) | 08:05 |
| Janus5 | Hmm. Let's see what THIS does... | 08:05 |
| profxavier | [thor] :D | 08:05 |
| bareego | only done 264 encoding with mencoder.. but even that shouldn't use much ram at all | 08:05 |
| profxavier | guampa, anymore ideas ? | 08:05 |
| bareego | I used to do that on my 64MB xbox running debian | 08:05 |
| bareego | and it never ran out of ram | 08:06 |
| profxavier | what? | 08:06 |
| profxavier | 18GBs of RAM in your 20GB HD ? | 08:06 |
| [thor] | kk9822: once pastebinit is installed it is ' foo | pastebinit ' where foo is your desired command line | 08:06 |
| guampa | profxavier: can you pastebin a grep -R NX /var/log ? | 08:06 |
| Janus5 | Nope, not much at all. It's shocking to me that Ubuntu uses so little RAM and is so much faster than Vista. AND it's 64-Bit, no less. | 08:07 |
| kk9822 | thanks prof i think it works now | 08:07 |
| CkhiKuzad | are there any programs to merge a rar file's split contents into one rar? | 08:07 |
| profxavier | auth failed errors, everywhere | 08:07 |
| bareego | and ubuntu uses a lot, too | 08:07 |
| Janus5 | Wow, 64MB | 08:07 |
| profxavier | im beat, I think ill pick this up tomorrow | 08:07 |
| Janus5 | No, I've got a 1TB drive, split 50/50 between Win Vista, and Ubuntu. | 08:08 |
| bareego | my xbox ran my torrent client, samba file server and was encoding my 264 for me | 08:08 |
| kishajos | Is there anybody who plays World of Warcraft on his/her Linux PC? | 08:08 |
| Janus5 | Ahh, that's cool! Using the old XBOX for something other than gaming. | 08:08 |
| bareego | got sick of it though now... if there is an issue and I can't ssh I have to go hook it up to tv | 08:09 |
| Janus5 | Not to bad considering the original XBOX was naught but a slightly specialized PC. | 08:09 |
| Krishnandu | Hey guys...I'm using Deluge but it never seeds | 08:09 |
| guampa | allright, better luck tomorrow ! | 08:09 |
| Grivvel | Heya. Does anybody know if there's a good X-Windows channel? I'm looking for some information about xlib (specifically, how to get an XID for an existing window by name) | 08:09 |
| profxavier | hopefully :} | 08:09 |
| Janus5 | I've heard of X-Windows, but don't know anything about it, Grivvel. Wish I could answer your inquiry. | 08:09 |
| bareego | gonna whack a lil 500GB drive in the xbox and sell it cheap on ebay | 08:09 |
| Grivvel | Janus5: Well, thanks for the thought. (X-Windows is the window manager Ubuntu uses by default) | 08:10 |
| bareego | ah, btw, does anyone know if you can use a normal dvd drive on an xbox with chromwell bios ? | 08:10 |
| jsnems | hi | 08:11 |
| Janus5 | Grivvel: So GNOME or KDE is... what, a front-end or wrapper around X-Windows, or is X-Windows the actual file system? | 08:11 |
| Krishnandu | Hye guys please help me with deluge. It never seeds :( | 08:12 |
| bareego | Janus5, that'll get confusing.. cause your have the xserver which gives you the grahpical ability, then windowmanager and gui | 08:12 |
| Janus5 | It's cool you used your XBOX is such a way. So much console hardware is never used to it's potential. One of the reasons I love my PS3 is that it can run Folding@Home and contribute something beyond just games. | 08:12 |
| Janus5 | Heh heh. Okay, I'll read up on it. I was under the impression X-Windows was something like GNOME or what-have-you. I've much to learn. | 08:13 |
| jigal | what is the proper way to reinstall apache. I had installed zend server and now i want to remove everything and reinstall apache on a normal way | 08:13 |
| Grivvel | Janus5: Both GNOME and KDE run on top of the X-Window system | 08:13 |
| bareego | Janus5, I almost bought a PS3 but got pissed off with Sony's latest antilinux crap | 08:13 |
| abhijit | among the web site pastebinit supports which one supported programming code highlight? | 08:13 |
| guampa | Janus5: xwindow gives you the ability to write to a graphical display, gnome or kde use X for that task | 08:13 |
| Janus5 | Cool! I just resized my swap. I'll add the newly freed space to the main partition later. | 08:14 |
| viraj | Can anyone help me: I need to figure out how to use xchat in a proxy | 08:14 |
| [thor] | CkhiKuzad: i just tried "rar x example_with_multiple_parts.rar | rar a test.rar" | 08:14 |
| [thor] | output is slooooow | 08:14 |
| rkvirani | I need a twitter Gadget on my Ubuntu Desktop... Where would I start? | 08:14 |
| Janus5 | grampa, Grivvel: Thanks for the info! Every little bit helps me get a better feel for Linux and I really appreciate it. | 08:14 |
| CkhiKuzad | but did it work [thor] ? | 08:14 |
| [thor] | still waiting | 08:15 |
| guampa | np Janus | 08:15 |
| abhijit | viraj, http://xchat.org/faq/#q25 | 08:15 |
| Janus5 | No kidding about the PS3. I wasn't going to use it for a PC, but I imagine a LOT of users are tickedabout the sudden removal of a very nice function. | 08:15 |
| [thor] | CkhiKuzad: i think it is decompressing to memory or something | 08:15 |
| bareego | Janus5, KDE and gnome are kindof huge, you can get MUCH smaller guis and windowmanagers | 08:15 |
| Janus5 | rkvirani: I think Pidgin is well-loved. Does it do Tritter? | 08:16 |
| rkvirani | XFCE is good | 08:16 |
| viraj | Thanks. also, will it work when the proxy in my university asks for a username and pass to access the net | 08:16 |
| Krishnandu | Hey friends, Please help me with deluge | 08:16 |
| Krishnandu | It never seeds | 08:16 |
| rkvirani | Janus5: check out XFCE | 08:16 |
| bareego | I used xfce now on lxde | 08:16 |
| rkvirani | apt-get install xubuntu-desktop :D | 08:16 |
| abhijit | viraj, see on their docs. i just found that link on google. | 08:16 |
| rkvirani | lxde eh | 08:16 |
| rkvirani | hrm... | 08:16 |
| guampa | fluxbox is good and small too | 08:16 |
| bareego | lubuntu ! | 08:16 |
| rkvirani | lubuntu? | 08:17 |
| Janus5 | So, smaller guis such as xfce would be useful for older hardware, correct? | 08:17 |
| bareego | ubuntu on lxde | 08:17 |
| Krishnandu | Guys please help with deluge. It never seeds | 08:17 |
| Janus5 | I've an old Celeron 1.8 that may be able to use that. | 08:17 |
| guampa | they demand lots less cpu power | 08:17 |
| bareego | Janus5, it'll fly on it | 08:17 |
| bareego | you can still install your fav kde/gnome apps and use them if you must | 08:18 |
| abhijit | viraj, ask in #xchat | 08:18 |
| Janus5 | Good to know. The Celeron is acting as a phone and printer server at the moment on a VERY old copy of WinXP (legal) that I can't update because it breaks MagicJack's functionality. | 08:18 |
| Bones | this is probably not a chat for ultimate droid support, eh? | 08:18 |
| Janus5 | Damnit Bones, I'm a newbie, not a... er... cell tower! | 08:19 |
| bareego | lol | 08:19 |
| Bones | sorry | 08:19 |
| Bones | bye | 08:19 |
| Janus5 | LOL | 08:19 |
| NightKhaos | I need to install an (old) piece of software for University that depends on glib1.2. Of course, libglib1.2-dev is not in the default packages for Ubuntu 10. How can I install libglib1.2-dev? | 08:19 |
| Janus5 | I see "Bones"and I think "Awesome, kindly doctor". | 08:19 |
| [thor] | Krishnandu: have you used a firewall config tool, or 'ufw' in the commandline to open the ports that deluge is using? | 08:19 |
| rkvirani | NightKhaos: I think if you add an old repo it will become available to you... | 08:20 |
| rkvirani | ... or just download the source and compile the code you need. | 08:20 |
| rkvirani | do a static compile | 08:20 |
| jigal | what is the proper way to reinstall apache. I had installed zend server and now i want to remove everything and reinstall apache on a normal way | 08:20 |
| Krishnandu | thor, Nope, I'm using my modem in PPPoE mode. | 08:21 |
| NightKhaos | rkvirani: I'd like to avoid installing from source where possible... okay, how do I add an old repo? | 08:21 |
| titus | pathafrica2 | 08:21 |
| Krishnandu | [thor], Nope, but I'm using my modem in PPPoE mode | 08:21 |
| frimend | I have troubles booting from a burned dvd. | 08:22 |
| frimend | Am I obliged to burn ubuntu on a regular CD, to be able to boot it up? | 08:22 |
| bareego | frimend, exactly what problem | 08:22 |
| titus | heoo | 08:22 |
| titus | hello | 08:22 |
| frimend | I get a blinking "_" when trying to boot. | 08:22 |
| frimend | Nothing happends. | 08:22 |
| Janus5 | Hello Titus. How goes defending Spira? | 08:22 |
| [thor] | CkhiKuzad: that rar experiment didn't work.. my syntax is wrong | 08:22 |
| CkhiKuzad | damn. well i guess i am stuck with this file being screwed up | 08:23 |
| bareego | frimend, could be...also try to keep burn speed as low as possible | 08:23 |
| [thor] | CkhiKuzad: i know there must be a commandline to do that procedure, but i don't know the argument to specify using the output of one command as the input of another command. | 08:23 |
| [thor] | other than piping | 08:23 |
| frimend | I am in a tight spot then. | 08:23 |
| frimend | I have 200+ blank dvds. | 08:24 |
| frimend | No cd. :< | 08:24 |
| bareego | know the feeling... I keep a spare cdrw though | 08:24 |
| Taev | something really strange is going on with my system guys I need help. No matter what browser I use, its opening spam pages | 08:24 |
| Taev | like crazy | 08:24 |
| CkhiKuzad | frimend, you might want to set your BIOS to be bootable, if you havent done so? | 08:24 |
| bareego | you got an usb flash drive, you might go that way | 08:24 |
| NightKhaos | rkvirani:? | 08:24 |
| CkhiKuzad | cd-bootable** | 08:24 |
| Taev | Im at a loss. | 08:24 |
| [thor] | Krishnandu: if the firewall is blocking the port that deluge is using, it shouldn't matter what your modem is using,. | 08:24 |
| Janus5 | A linux... virus? Odd. | 08:24 |
| [thor] | err | 08:24 |
| Taev | every few seconds a new browser, whether in Opera or Firefox opens to junk sites | 08:25 |
| NightKhaos | Janus5: they are not unheard of. :P | 08:25 |
| bareego | Janus5, but they can't do much if you're properly setup | 08:25 |
| Taev | I tried clearing the cache, nothing, I looked for suspicious processes, none that jumped out at me | 08:25 |
| Janus5 | NightKhaos: That's a shame, but to be expected. | 08:25 |
| [thor] | hosts file? | 08:25 |
| guampa | nite folks, dreamland awaits for my soul | 08:25 |
| picard1421 | im trying to make opencv 2.0.0 without openmp how do i disable openMP???? | 08:25 |
| Janus5 | The best anti-virus is healthy skepticism and a load of caution. | 08:25 |
| [thor] | err.. dunno the linux equivalent | 08:26 |
| Krishnandu | [thor], Ok, so how to set that?? I did nothing | 08:26 |
| Janus5 | Night, Guampa. | 08:26 |
| bareego | Janus5, and don't use root unless your really have to | 08:26 |
| frimend | CkhiKuzad: I think bios is set up accordingly. I can boot fine from all CDs | 08:26 |
| frimend | just not from DVDs | 08:26 |
| Krishnandu | [thor], one more thing if firewall is blocking the port then how come my downloading is working perfectly fine?? | 08:26 |
| Janus5 | bareego: I think I *am* Root at the moment. I only created one account when I installed Ubuntu. | 08:26 |
| frimend | I am now trying to burn a dvd at low speed, just to make sure. | 08:26 |
| CkhiKuzad | frimend, its possibly that your BIOS cant boot DVDs | 08:27 |
| bareego | don't go online as root, ever | 08:27 |
| bareego | hah | 08:27 |
| Janus5 | How can I tell if I'm using the system as ROOT? | 08:27 |
| [thor] | Krishnandu: in deluge, Edit > Preferences > Network | 08:27 |
| bareego | run whoami | 08:27 |
| ubuntu | heya. my 3yr old windows xp box is on it's last legs. I'm running ubuntu right now off a flash drive, but it's not recognizing the wifi card - a dell inspiron 6400/e1505. ubuntu is telling me its the broadcom 4311 and it's installed it and reinstalled the drivers, but it keeps telling me it failed. Any suggestions? | 08:27 |
| Taev | so what could cause firefox and opera to launch pop up spam pages constantly? | 08:27 |
| bareego | !whoami | 08:27 |
| ubottu | use @whoami | 08:27 |
| bareego | @whoami | 08:27 |
| [thor] | Krishnandu: copy active port, and open terminal | 08:27 |
| === ubuntu is now known as AviMarcus | ||
| Janus5 | Ah,good. I'm not ID'd as ROOT. =) | 08:28 |
| AviMarcus | hmph, that was a silly automatic screen name. | 08:28 |
| picard1421 | anyone? | 08:28 |
| bareego | iirc irc chat clients will often complain if you use them as root | 08:28 |
| CkhiKuzad | [thor], the archive manager seems to allow you to merge and extract files with unrar :D | 08:28 |
| NightKhaos | bareego: yes, a lot do. | 08:28 |
| Krishnandu | [thor], ok then?? | 08:28 |
| Janus5 | Sorry, Jean-Luc, I cannot help you. | 08:28 |
| Taev | So I guess nobody has any suggestions.. | 08:28 |
| picard1421 | lol Janus | 08:29 |
| Janus5 | Taev: I'm really sorry. That's.... I mean, when did that start happening? | 08:29 |
| picard1421 | kk | 08:29 |
| picard1421 | well i mean i thought iwas an ok fix.. | 08:30 |
| [thor] | Krishnandu: sudo ufw allow <port#> | 08:30 |
| Taev | yesterday | 08:30 |
| Krishnandu | [thor], hey my firewall was disabled | 08:30 |
| Taev | I didn't make any system changes | 08:30 |
| bareego | AviMarcus, you might be able to use your old windows drivers with ndiswrapper | 08:30 |
| Janus5 | Any websites you may have gone to that installed anything in your browser? | 08:30 |
| === zahra is now known as Guest28587 | ||
| Krishnandu | [thor], do I've to post that #?? | 08:31 |
| [thor] | Krishnandu: sudo ufw enable && ufw allow ##### && ufw status | 08:31 |
| AviMarcus | bareego: I've never used ubuntu before. How do I do that? | 08:31 |
| [thor] | where ##### is the port number | 08:31 |
| Taev | I didn't think they could do that under Linux | 08:31 |
| Taev | Assume I did, where would I look ? | 08:31 |
| Janus5 | Cool, a Linux Firewall. Think I'll install that. | 08:32 |
| Janus5 | Usually, your History folder... Have you tried clearing out your Browser's history, stored password, cache, etc? | 08:32 |
| AviMarcus | and there seems to be a native linux install in the package manager from the manufacturor.. just it's not working | 08:32 |
| Taev | its in Opera and Firefox | 08:32 |
| Taev | and I don't use Opera | 08:33 |
| Taev | i just fired it up now to see | 08:33 |
| Taev | and sure enough | 08:33 |
| Taev | i cleared firefox's cache, still happening | 08:33 |
| bareego | AviMarcus, when you run iwconfig do you get an entry for the wifi ? | 08:33 |
| Krishnandu | [thor], done | 08:33 |
| frimend | CkhiKuzad: I burned a new dvd at slowest possible speed, now it's booting. :) | 08:33 |
| frimend | Thanks for the help ppl! | 08:33 |
| AviMarcus | bareego: where do I get a commandline? :P | 08:33 |
| bareego | there should be an entry in accessories for a terminal | 08:34 |
| [thor] | Krishnandu: so now it should let incoming p2p connections to communicate on that port without your system initiating the connection | 08:34 |
| AviMarcus | got it | 08:34 |
| Janus5 | Is there such thing as a Linux Anti-Virus, gents? It sounds like Taev has caught a cold. =) | 08:34 |
| [thor] | Krishnandu: aka being connectable | 08:34 |
| [thor] | clamAV | 08:34 |
| AviMarcus | lo no wireless extensions. | 08:34 |
| AviMarcus | eth0 no wireless extensions. | 08:35 |
| Krishnandu | [thor] I'm sendig u a screenshot please see that | 08:35 |
| [thor] | janus5: clamAV is a likely suspect | 08:35 |
| Taev | I think maybe its some java exploit | 08:35 |
| AviMarcus | eth0 is this wired connection | 08:35 |
| bareego | good, so you have inet connection | 08:35 |
| yessir_turan | Janus5: | 08:35 |
| AviMarcus | well, I'm on irc on this machine, so yeah :) | 08:35 |
| yessir_turan | Janus5: Yes there is, because there are linux malware | 08:35 |
| Janus5 | Taev, thor: the thing that gets me about your issue is that you don't use Opera, and yet it, too, is affected. | 08:35 |
| yessir_turan | just that they aren't widespread. | 08:35 |
| [thor] | i don't have an issue | 08:36 |
| Janus5 | Think I'll install ClamAV as a preventative measure. | 08:36 |
| yessir_turan | Liking something is one thing, but turning a blind eye towards the other side would not be such a smart issue | 08:36 |
| NightKhaos | rkvirani: neverminded, figured it out all on my lonesome | 08:36 |
| Taev | BOTH my boxes are affected | 08:36 |
| Taev | I have 2 seperate machines | 08:36 |
| Taev | running ubuntu | 08:36 |
| yessir_turan | *smart tihng | 08:36 |
| Janus5 | Sorry, Thor, I means Taev's issue. =) | 08:36 |
| yessir_turan | *smart thing | 08:36 |
| Taev | they are both doing the same things | 08:36 |
| thune3 | Taev: so your router is hijacked? | 08:36 |
| Taev | i have a thinlinux router i made myself, I doubt it but its possible | 08:37 |
| Taev | you think? | 08:37 |
| Janus5 | Hey, good idea: What's your network setup? Tell the more experienced people here: I'm not that brushed up on these things yet. | 08:37 |
| [thor] | Taev: you have a liveboot CD handy? | 08:37 |
| bareego | AviMarcus, now you basically want to do what's on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper from 3 onwards | 08:37 |
| bareego | AviMarcus, you might have to install ndiswrapper first with sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper | 08:37 |
| Janus5 | Ahh, I LOVE Ubuntu's software center. So easy. | 08:38 |
| AviMarcus | k, I'll take a look, thanks bareego. | 08:38 |
| bareego | Janus5, yeah... make sure you install gimp | 08:38 |
| Taev | Yeah thor | 08:39 |
| Janus5 | Gimp... image editor? | 08:39 |
| Janus5 | Installed! | 08:39 |
| brandon420 | heyy | 08:39 |

| brandon420 | can someone help me with nvidia drivers on freakin ubuntu? | 08:39 |
| bareego | it's similar to photoshop | 08:39 |
| Janus5 | Not once. Let's load it up and see. | 08:40 |
| bareego | very powerful | 08:40 |
| Janus5 | I've messed around in Paint.Net before in Vista. | 08:40 |
| [thor] | Taev: just thinking it might make for a mostly uncorruptable installation ( uninfected from a local bug ) | 08:40 |
| [thor] | Taev: to rule out the comps as the source of the redirection | 08:40 |
| brandon420 | can someone help me with nvidia driver on ubuntu? i cant use compiz or anything, and nexis is playing soo effed up | 08:40 |
| brandon420 | i cant figure out whats wrong for my life | 08:41 |

| Janus5 | Brandon420: Sorry, I'm a newbie. What's up, is the system hanging or something? | 08:43 |

| brandon420 | ibrahim, just read and try to understand what you are coping, thats what im doing | 08:43 |

| tibz | ibrahim, terminal is a way to run commands one at a time, use "man bash" to learn more about the command interpreter, and "man apropos" to learn how to search man pages for what you seek... | 08:44 |

| [thor] | Krishnandu: those drop-down boxes in the Firewall Configuration tool are the default states for all ports | 08:46 |
| jigal | brandon420: well was working on a zend framework project. But then decided to upgrade to TLS 10.04 and then it all begun. I am still busy to get my application working. | 08:46 |
| [thor] | Krishnandu: it should actually be Incoming DENY, outgoing ALLOW by default | 08:46 |
| Krishnandu | [thor], ya that means I'm allowing everything | 08:46 |
| Krishnandu | [thor], ok :) | 08:46 |
| [thor] | Krishnandu: and then you open specific ports for access | 08:46 |
| brandon420 | kucker: im not sure how that is relevant to my graphics? sorry is im jsut miss understanding that... | 08:46 |
| Krishnandu | [thor], ok done:) | 08:46 |

| Krishnandu | [thor], ok thanks. Now I've Incoming Deny and Outgoing Allow and a rule TO #### Action Allow In From Anywhere | 08:48 |
| Krishnandu | [thor], is it ok now?? | 08:48 |

| Krishnandu | [thor], something has changed to deluge but not getting upload speeds | 08:49 |

| thune3 | alexander_: see http://docs.python.org/tutorial/modules.html#the-module-search-path | 08:50 |
| bsh_ | hi all. | 08:50 |
| Krishnandu | [thor], hmm it's showing 1(24) like that...previously that was not happening also | 08:50 |
| [thor] | yeah.. that's an open connection or a polling peer | 08:51 |
| blitzo | how do i have kde and gnome on the same box and choose between them? | 08:51 |
| dajxd | happy wedding, lisa. | 08:51 |
| brandon420 | blitzo, you installed both of them, i have flux and gnome | 08:52 |
| FakeName | blitzo> Install both with synaptic (pick the metapackages) | 08:52 |
| FakeName | blitzo> pick session at logon | 08:52 |
| blitzo | brandon420, once installed do i get a choice when x starts up? | 08:52 |
| alexander_ | cheers thune3 | 08:52 |
| FakeName | blitzo> so.... yes. at the login screen | 08:52 |
| blitzo | FakeName, thx | 08:53 |
| brandon420 | blitzo, i take it you are on ubuntu? if so you will be able to choose when you log on the computer | 08:53 |
| blitzo | brandon420, FakeName, if i restart x will it give me the choice then? | 08:53 |
| brandon420 | no | 08:53 |
| brandon420 | but you will either start gdm or kde | 08:53 |
| chris_osx | hi | 08:54 |
| alexander_ | thune3 that didn't fully solve it for me. in usr/lib there's no python folder | 08:54 |
| blitzo | brandon420, does flux and xfce run under gnome or kde? i'm still a little fuzzy the diff between a DE and a WM and which is which | 08:54 |
| thune3 | alexander_: looking... | 08:54 |
| Bridge|A | hey thinking of installing ubuntu on my girlfriends laptop for when i use it, Even if it's not a notebook, do you guys think UNE(Ubuntu Notebook Edition) would be a better choice then a regular Ubuntu Install? | 08:54 |
| FakeName | I'd go with Xubuntu | 08:55 |
| Bridge|A | ThinkPad T40-series | 08:55 |
| brandon420 | flux box is its own window manager in its self | 08:55 |
| chris_osx | what is xubuntu? | 08:55 |
| FakeName | Ubuntu with XFCE instead of Gnome | 08:55 |
| chris_osx | ah ok | 08:55 |
| blitzo | Bridge|A, don't see why not | 08:55 |

| Bridge|A | well thats kinda why i was thinking UNE | 08:56 |
| FakeName | <Bridge|A>They're probably similar | 08:56 |
| Guest29018 | How come this keeps asking me to identify? | 08:56 |
| chris_osx | but kde and gnome have nice apps and eyecandy | 08:56 |
| chris_osx | why not use it? | 08:56 |
| Guest29018 | I'm the real Sam_Fisher | 08:56 |
| FakeName | slow | 08:56 |
| brandon420 | blitzo: to be honest man, i have only used gnome and flux(for a short time) | 08:56 |
| blitzo | Bridge|A, i was just reading a wikipedia article you might want to check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28Linux_distribution%29#Versions | 08:57 |
| brandon420 | guest type /ns identify *password* | 08:57 |
| ibrahim | what is the best copy of ubuntu is good for my laptop hp 1045ee core2due what i mean is 64bit or 32 bit ? and ubuntu gnome desktop edition or notebook edition ? | 08:57 |
| FakeName | You do need to register to identify, though | 08:57 |
| brandon420 | Can anyone help me with Nvidia graphics/drivers (nvidia 8800GS 512mb) reguarding compiz, and 3d games? | 08:57 |
| chris_osx | with a core 2 duo you can use 64 bit | 08:58 |
| Guest29018 | FakeName, You talking to me! | 08:58 |
| blitzo | FakeName, pls use a person's nick when replying | 08:58 |
| Janus5 | 64-Bit seems just as stable and useful as ever. | 08:58 |
| [thor] | brandon420: i am using nvidia 195.36.24 with no issues in compiz/3D games | 08:59 |
| Guest29018 | When scanning from Ubuntu a windows hard drive for virus what is your favorite tool? | 08:59 |
| brandon420 | Guest29018: type /ns register password email then its /ns identify password | 08:59 |
| [thor] | brandon420: what version of the hardware driver do you have installed? | 08:59 |
| ibrahim | and which one is better ? notebook edition or desktop one ? | 08:59 |
| chris_osx | have only tried desktop | 08:59 |
| brandon420 | 185.18.36 | 08:59 |
| chris_osx | so far | 08:59 |
| FakeName | <ibrahim> It's likely that the only differences are the bundled packages | 08:59 |
| brandon420 | thor: 185.18.36 | 09:00 |
| Janus5 | I'd only use a Notebook package on... a notebook. Imagine is has power-saving aps and the like that would just waste space on a desktop. | 09:00 |
| FakeName | <ibrahim> Presumably, the notebook edition comes with a bunch of notebook utilities, for controling the back-light, battery monitors, etc... | 09:00 |
| thune3 | alexander_: you can put it in the same directory as the script, make your own dir and add it to PYTHONPATH, or you could put it in one of the places python is looking. use two line python to see what the options are, i don't know what the right place is: >>>import sys >>> print sys.path | 09:00 |
| aSt3raL | is there a program that i can put on a computer running ubuntu with and arm cpu that will let me access irc when im on a public windows machine? | 09:00 |
| blitzo | brandon420, FakeName so if i install xubuntu, i just only need to use synaptic to add gnome and it would run just like a vanilla ubuntu installtion if i selected gnome at login? i wonder about that because (for example) xubuntu's xfce setup is different from standard xfce (they've customized menus and such) also some things work under xfce that don't work on gnome | 09:01 |
| frimend | I have troubles mounting my newly created mirrored disks. | 09:01 |
| FakeName | <aSt3raL> VHC? | 09:01 |
| aSt3raL | like ssh into it | 09:01 |
| frimend | They don't show up in /dev/sdXX | 09:01 |
| ibrahim | FakeName: Ah i see it this information was bot listed on its features list thnx | 09:01 |
| aSt3raL | vhc? | 09:01 |
| [thor] | brandon420: it might be worth it to get the freshest drivers, but i am at a loss as to how you would do that outside of using the "Hardware Drivers" application | 09:01 |
| FakeName | <blitzo> Basically, yes. You would need to change your default window manager, but that's faily simple | 09:01 |
| FakeName | <aSt3raL> You could also use SSH, or nx | 09:02 |
| brandon420 | thor: how did you get the newer ones? | 09:02 |
| FakeName | <aSt3raL> all require the linux box to be internet-facing, though | 09:02 |
| brandon420 | Thor: i have the lastest ones that i can get. =/ | 09:02 |
| [thor] | brandon420: this was the version that was first installed when i added the vidcard | 09:02 |
| brandon420 | blitzo: like i said, you can install both now | 09:02 |
| brandon420 | thor: those dirty basterds | 09:03 |
| aSt3raL | so ssh into the linux box and then run a terminal based irc client? | 09:03 |
| brandon420 | blitzo:http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde | 09:03 |
| FakeName | aSt3raL> It doesn't have to be SSH | 09:05 |
| FakeName | aSt3raL> VNC and NX are visual | 09:05 |
| FakeName | aSt3raL> Hell, I'm currently using NX from a windows box to a linux box for IRC, but they are on the same lan | 09:05 |
| brandon420 | aSt3raL: apt-get install vnc4server | 09:05 |

| Janus5 | "Portal". Just google "Cake is a Lie" and "Still Alive", | 09:22 |

| Juniksz | thanks | 09:29 |
| bareego | ker use the DNS of your ISP in /etc/resolv.conf | 09:29 |

| matthiaskrgr_ | hello | 09:30 |
| jasonwryan | frimend: no raid devices listed? you have no raid... | 09:30 |
| bareego | you could also run a caching dns server on your machine | 09:30 |

| frimend | jasonwryan: I installed ubuntu 10.04 on samsung disk. | 09:31 |
| matthiaskrgr_ | ok | 09:31 |
| bareego | matthiaskrgr_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | 09:31 |
| frimend | I then entered the raid utility and made a raid from two other, wdc disks. | 09:31 |
| jasonwryan | frimend: to create a raid array, you need the alternate disk | 09:31 |
| frimend | Ctrl+I, to enter the raid utility. | 09:31 |
| matthiaskrgr_ | bareego: I already took a look at this page, that's the problem ;) | 09:32 |
| frimend | To be able to use my created raid in ubuntu, I need to make a new installation of ubuntu, using the "alternate disk" ? | 09:32 |
| * cossier is back (gone 00:17:16) | 09:32 | |
| FakeName | frimend> I don't know if this is specific to using LVM, but my RAID shows up under /dev/VolGroupXX (xx bing the number of raids) | 09:32 |
| jasonwryan | frimend: you don't have a 'newly created raid' - it would show in mdstat if you did... | 09:33 |
| matthiaskrgr_ | bareego: I already installed libdvdread4 and did install-css.sh and rebooted, but it still seems to not work | 09:33 |
| frimend | I have a created raid, I can see it in the raid utility. | 09:33 |
| bareego | what program you try to use to watch dvd ? | 09:34 |
| quietone | Our ubuntu machines can no longer access the XP shared folder and printer since I reinstalled XP (and enabled sharing). Been searching and getting confused | 09:35 |
| matthiaskrgr_ | bareego: totem | 09:35 |
| cossier | bareego, I use vlc | 09:35 |
| matthiaskrgr_ | bareego: totem says "An error occured. Could not read from resource. | 09:36 |
| jasonwryan | frimend: are you dual booting? | 09:36 |
| frimend | No | 09:36 |
| bareego | just try another player to make sure | 09:36 |
| bareego | I use gmplayer or vlc | 09:36 |
| CountDuckula | quietone: assuming xp shares have been redone, have you enabled file and printer sharing option? | 09:36 |
| frimend | the raid utility is built in, motherboard. | 09:36 |
| matthiaskrgr_ | vlc: "Playback failure: | 09:36 |
| matthiaskrgr_ | VLC cannot set the DVD's title. It possibly cannot decrypt the entire disc. | 09:36 |

| FloodBot1 | matthiaskrgr_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:36 |
| frimend | I see the two disks there, "Member Disk(0)" on both of the disks. | 09:36 |
| frimend | they are part of the raid that I created. | 09:37 |
| frimend | I simply can't access the raid from unbutu. | 09:37 |
| frimend | I can see the disks as regular disks. | 09:37 |
| matthiaskrgr_ | enna fails, too | 09:37 |
| frimend | ubuntu does not acknowledge them as a raid though. | 09:37 |
| jasonwryan | frimend: Ah! different thing entirely. IIRC, that is not so reliable for linux... You may want to google for details, but I think you will need the alternate disk | 09:37 |
| jasonwryan | frimend: hardware raid is primarily built for windoze | 09:38 |
| TuxSax | frimend: have you set up the raid volume disk correctly? | 09:39 |
| quietone | CountDuckula, yes I have and I just checked, again | 09:39 |
| matthiaskrgr_ | bareego: any ideas what I could do? | 09:39 |
| frimend | TuxSax: Most probably not. | 09:39 |
| TuxSax | if it's totally hardware built, the linux shouldn't even be aware it's raid | 09:39 |
| CountDuckula | quietone: does the xp machine have a firewall and is it enabled? | 09:39 |
| kickingintender | i want a job as a linux admin | 09:40 |
| kickingintender | please help | 09:40 |
| frimend | the two disks are connected to the motherboard with sata cables. | 09:40 |
| TuxSax | I have a few IBM servers where the raid controller is set up to a single disk volume | 09:40 |
| frimend | Just like regular disks. | 09:40 |
| frimend | a MSI x58pro motherboard. | 09:40 |
| quietone | CountDuckula, let me check again | 09:40 |
| TuxSax | when linux boots up it only sees one disk | 09:40 |
| frimend | I then access this raid utility, and make the disks there. | 09:40 |
| kickingintender | CountDuckula xp does have firewall enabled by default | 09:40 |
| frimend | "Intel(R) Matrix storage manager option ROM v8.50.1030 ICH10r/O vRAID5" | 09:41 |
| chris_osx | bah compiling gentoo takes forever | 09:41 |
| CountDuckula | quiteone: if firewall enabled, stop it and try connect to share | 09:41 |
| bareego | matthiaskrgr_, you got vlc ? | 09:41 |
| frimend | thats the header inside the raid utility tool. | 09:41 |
| jave | how do I change kernel options when I cant boot the system? | 09:41 |
| TuxSax | frimend: you need to first select which hardisks you want to use and initialize them as raid, then you can create a logical volume | 09:41 |
| matthiaskrgr_ | bareego: fails, too | 09:41 |
| Bridge| | Tux your other disks mounted? | 09:41 |
| CountDuckula | kickingintender: yes by default it does | 09:41 |
| frimend | TuxSax: Do I do this inside ubuntu? | 09:41 |
| bareego | can you rip a track with mencoder ? | 09:42 |
| vsds | if I run ubuntu from a live cd, can I burn a cd in the same cd drive? Or remains that drive busy with the OS? | 09:42 |
| TuxSax | frimend: no, first on the raid utility | 09:42 |
| jave | sorry, I'm new to ubuntu, my other machines run fedora | 09:42 |

| TuxSax | frimend: if it's only for storage I'd recommend you to use LVM | 09:53 |
| matthiaskrgr_ | I'll try another on, brb | 09:53 |
| matthiaskrgr_ | bareego: other, newer dvd: http://pastebin.com/bn0jQuaU | 09:56 |
| frimend | This is getting out of hand.. | 09:56 |
| frimend | I was hoping to gain some speedup by raiding my two disks. | 09:56 |
| frimend | But the time I spend trying to set it up, I won't regain the time I have lost during my lifetime! | 09:57 |
| matthiaskrgr_ | bareego: enna finds that one, but no demux is available *tries to install* | 09:57 |
| jasonwryan | frimend: RAID gives you _redundancy_, not speed... | 09:58 |
| TuxSax | frimend: you may find that LVM is suitable for you not less than a FAKE RAID | 09:58 |
| CountDuckula | unless its RAID0 | 09:58 |
| TuxSax | LVM is also easily configurable and scalable | 09:58 |
| frimend | both raid0 and radi1 gives speed. | 09:58 |
| TuxSax | frimend: raid1 is not faster than a normal hardisk | 09:59 |
| CountDuckula | RAID0 best speed but forget data if one disc says goodbye | 09:59 |
| Nullslash | ls | 09:59 |
| TuxSax | it writes twice the data | 09:59 |
| Nullslash | ls -alth | 09:59 |
| bareego | matthiaskrgr_, honestly don't know, sorry | 09:59 |
| frimend | raid1 reads from two disks. | 09:59 |
| frimend | That can prove a good speedup. | 09:59 |
| breakingborders | Hihello | 09:59 |
| TuxSax | if you want both speed and redundancy you then need raid10, but for this you'll need proper hardware | 10:00 |

| jquery | anybody could help with jquery logout? | 10:02 |
| * jasonwryan gives CountDuckula a beer | 10:02 | |

| TheTosh | but get this error Couldn't untar Net-SSLeay-1.36.tar | 10:18 |
| TuxSax | you plug the USB, run the little program, select the .ISO you want, choose the USB drive (generally auto detected) and then you make it | 10:19 |
| TuxSax | once finished you can plug the USB and boot from it | 10:19 |
| cllrofwar | ok, thanks Tux and Count | 10:19 |
| cllrofwar | i'll give it a go :) | 10:19 |
| TheTosh | How do I install it? | 10:19 |
| somethinginteres | Hi all, is there any easy way to find the max capacity and usage of the drive ubuntu is installed onto? I've tried disk analyser but it doesn't seem to give me what I am after | 10:19 |
| glaucous | jasonwryan, do you know of a way I can keep all my programs and settings after format? This includes /usr and so on, not only /home | 10:19 |
| euphorial | I currently have a thing that runs in rc.local, and I do *not* want it to load for me.. just certain users. Can someone help me? I think it's .bashrc but I have NO idea how to operate that file. The script can NOT run for my account or root obviously. | 10:19 |
| euphorial | Anyone, please? | 10:20 |
| TheTosh | Couldn't untar Net-SSLeay-1.36.tar | 10:20 |
| TheTosh | what is wrong? | 10:20 |
| jasonwryan | glaucous: _after_ you have backed everything up, I'd use dd (if the drive was the same size or bigger) | 10:20 |
| TuxSax | TheTosh: you can install perl modules via apt-get | 10:20 |
| TheTosh | TuxSax: What would I be looking for? | 10:21 |
| CountDuckula | somethinginteres: try df -h from a terminal | 10:21 |
| glaucous | jasonwryan, well the drive is four times bigger. But how do I backup everything? For instance, can I keep installed programs and libraries which I guess exist in /usr somewhere? | 10:22 |
| jasonwryan | glaucous: or you could go with clonezilla | 10:22 |
| Oprtz | hi can i use webcam in Empathy for yahoo chat, i am on ubuntu 10.04? thanks | 10:22 |

| glaucous | jasonwryan, I might be better of doing a real format I think. I just have to write down most of my settings and configs. | 10:24 |
| TheTosh | thune3: E: Couldn't find package libio-socket-ssl-perl | 10:24 |
| Friktion | Can someone help me compile sdl on codeblocks ? | 10:24 |
| somethinginteres | CountDuckula: thanks :) | 10:25 |
| glaucous | jasonwryan, do you by any chance know if the WIndows partition needs to be a primary partition? | 10:25 |
| TuxSax | TheTosh: Try apt-get install libio-socket-ssl-perl | 10:25 |
| thune3 | TheTosh: it's in universe repository, you may have to enable it System->Admin->Software Sources | 10:25 |
| jasonwryan | glaucous: as in a reinstall? It's not a bad idea (you can clean house at the same time) | 10:25 |
| CountDuckula | glaucous: back up homedir and apt cache - most program settings get stored in hidden folder under homedir | 10:25 |

| TheTosh | thune3: I'm using 9.04 server | 10:26 |
| jasonwryan | glaucous: sorry, no windoze skillz | 10:26 |
| thune3 | TheTosh: you can uncomment universe lines in /etc/apt/sources.list and run apt-get update | 10:27 |
| CountDuckula | glacous: if u intend to boot windows then it needs a primary partition | 10:27 |
| glaucous | CountDuckula, okay, thanks. | 10:27 |
| CountDuckula | you can have up to 4 primary partitions on a drive | 10:28 |
| TheTosh | thune3: Forgive me... I am a noob. | 10:28 |
| thune3 | TheTosh: you have gui? synaptic? or just cli? | 10:28 |
| Friktion | is it just me or when you do fullscreen on youtube and then exit parts of the screen is black ? | 10:28 |
| TheTosh | thune3: I'm using Terminal | 10:29 |
| glaucous | CountDuckula, yup and one logical. Just to make sure, it is only /boot that requires primary? | 10:29 |
| ndevastator | eh okay i added my user to the web group and set my web folders owners to root:web and i still cannot modify files | 10:30 |
| smackmanic | no bios boot option for usb for my liveusb. dell dimension 8200, desktop...any workarounds? I'm googling as I type this | 10:31 |
| TuxSax | TheTosh: do you know how to edit a file with terminal? | 10:31 |
| TheTosh | TuxSax: I have the apt file open | 10:32 |
| glaucous | About partitioning the drive. I usually just use /, /home and swap. Do you gain anything by adding /boot as well? And perhaps /usr? | 10:34 |
| TuxSax | TheTosh: great, find a line that says something like deb http://xx.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu karmic universe | 10:35 |
| jasonwryan | glaucous: for debian/ubuntu, I do the same (/, /home & swap): it works fine... | 10:35 |
| TuxSax | TheTosh: there are two lines, one starts with deb and one below it with deb-src | 10:35 |
| TheTosh | TuxSax: I did apt update | 10:36 |
| TheTosh | and apt-get install libio-socket-ssl-perl and it worked | 10:36 |
| TuxSax | TheTosh: I'm glad to hear | 10:36 |
| TheTosh | =D | 10:36 |
| TuxSax | generally it's easier to find perl modules via apt | 10:36 |
| TuxSax | than using the cpan | 10:36 |
| misc-- | hi all, I was wondering if anyone knows of some kind of "on/off" icon for the desktop... soooo... you double click it, the icon changes until the script finishes, and then changes back again... anything like that available? | 10:37 |
| glaucous | jasonwryan, is swap a primary partition, or a partition at all? | 10:37 |
| TuxSax | you can search for them with aptitude search perl | grep module | 10:37 |
| tik | ow do I lock a package so it won't be updated? | 10:37 |
| TuxSax | for example for this case I used aptitude search perl | grep socks | 10:37 |
| glaucous | jasonwryan, never mind, noticed that my swap is on a logical partition | 10:37 |
| jasonwryan | glaucous: :) | 10:37 |
| TuxSax | then you get a list of a few, and you can chose the one that best fits the name you are looking for | 10:38 |

| Taev | so that if finds the PID and kills it | 10:40 |
| Taev | in one command | 10:40 |
| xStink | Installed 10.4 and everything works on first boot.... after upgrading all packages and rebooting i have no permission to sound or anything else that is not specifically "owned" my my user | 10:40 |
| karlo | hi... do I need firewall ? | 10:41 |
| smackmanic | bleh | 10:42 |
| xStink | Taev: killall -9 processname ? | 10:42 |
| Taev | Im saying is there a way to combine ps aux | grep something , with a command to kill that process | 10:43 |
| JamesMR | Is it possible to get MS Office running in Ubuntu? | 10:43 |
| Taev | like ps aux | grep something | kill -9 $PID , I know that doesn't work, but something like that | 10:43 |
| Taev | why would you want to JamesMR? | 10:44 |
| chris_osx | JamesMR: sure | 10:44 |
| Taev | Open Office and or KOffice are just as good. | 10:44 |
| JamesMR | Taev: I beg to disagree | 10:44 |
| chris_osx | Taev: koffice isn't stable enough for production use | 10:44 |

| JamesMR | and slow | 10:44 |
| xStink | JamesMR: CrossoverOffice from codeweavers is best solution for outof the box almost flawless | 10:44 |
| xStink | however use Openoffice like the rest of usd | 10:45 |
| xStink | its better faster and more stable | 10:45 |
| xStink | and its actually compatible with it self | 10:45 |

| karlo | do I need firewall ? | 10:45 |
| JamesMR | I recently fell in love with MSOffice 2007 | 10:45 |
| Taev | kill -9 `ps aux | grep eggdrop | cut -d " " -f 1` | 10:45 |
| smackmanic | I will agree with Taev, never had any probs with open office and it is stable | 10:45 |
| xStink | karlo: Thats a broad question | 10:45 |
| xStink | Do you? | 10:45 |
| JamesMR | it has such a nice interface | 10:45 |
| thune3 | Taev: what was the answer on the browser redirect problem, i'm curious | 10:45 |
| smackmanic | as far as it being clunky or anything, I run an ancient machine and with very little ram or cpu and it runs fine | 10:46 |

| [thor] | Taev: well then.. another one to add to the books. | 10:48 |
| JamesMR | chris_osx: I like ribbon menus :( | 10:48 |

| thune3 | Taev: thx for update | 10:48 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | JamesMR, you are insane! :-) | 10:48 |
| karlo | I do not know if I must have firewall... is my computer in dangerous without firewall ? | 10:49 |
| chris_osx | JamesMR: then go install it. try wine or get crossover office | 10:49 |
| JamesMR | but ribbon menu's are cool! | 10:49 |
| JamesMR | trying crossover office | 10:49 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | I find them insanely confusing... | 10:49 |
| [thor] | karlo: it is a good idea to use a software firewall if you do not run a hardware firewall or commercial router. | 10:49 |
| JamesMR | they make things quicker to access and find | 10:49 |
| xStink | I'm done paying for software that dont work | 10:50 |
| xStink | :-p | 10:50 |
| JamesMR | well, for my mind anyway | 10:50 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | so anyway... does anyone know the answer to my PPA question? | 10:50 |

| JamesMR | I like my software to have a good interface, not just featureset | 10:50 |
| JamesMR | OO feels bloated to me | 10:50 |
| Taev | it allows you to add all kinds of cool security measures like honeypots and decoy networks | 10:50 |
| xStink | Mohahaha | 10:50 |
| karlo | [thor]: than I do not need firewall ? | 10:50 |

| xStink | So MS products arent bloated? | 10:51 |

| coz_ | wolfric, well you could try sudo apt-get autoremove to see if the older kernels are removed | 12:36 |
| callipygous | ...I booted off the install cd and networking worked, but booting off the hard drive it says "disabled" | 12:36 |
| Monkey_Dust | madjoe: what keeps you from flashplugin-nonfree ? | 12:36 |
| callipygous | any clues? | 12:36 |
| madjoe | Monkey_Dust: I'm on it :) | 12:36 |
| thune3 | wolfric: good to have one previous "known good kernel" in addition to the latest. just in case | 12:37 |
| madjoe | Monkey_Dust: should I remove something first? | 12:37 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | madjoe, try installing gnash | 12:37 |
| madjoe | Monkey_Dust: I'm only worried to have multiple versions installed | 12:37 |
| madjoe | ta_bu_shi_da_yu: what's gnash? | 12:37 |
| frimend | TuxSax: It's a very long path. | 12:37 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | a free version of flash | 12:37 |
| chrissharp123 | madjoe: the 'flashplugin-nonfree-installer' is part of the 'flashplugin-nonfree' package - you should install 'flashplugin-nonfree' | 12:37 |
| TuxSax | heheh, start from the beginning. | 12:37 |
| wolfric | @thune3@coz_ thanks guys | 12:37 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | chrissharp123, will that work? he's using a 64-bit platform | 12:38 |
| chrissharp123 | ta_bu_shi_da_yu: it has worked for me on 64-bit | 12:38 |
| madjoe | chrissharp123: I don't have it installed in my Synaptic... but my flash works in chrome and Firefox... should I remove the previous version and how? | 12:38 |
| chrissharp123 | madjoe: don't mess with what works! ;-) | 12:39 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | chrissharp123, cool :-) | 12:39 |
| * ta_bu_shi_da_yu agrees with chrissharp123! | 12:39 | |
| duffydack | 64bit flash is still available but with some security bug, | 12:39 |
| coz_ | madjoe, dont remove flash if it is working....did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras? | 12:39 |
| madjoe | coz_: I should.. the old version is not working well with some flash apps | 12:40 |
| TuxSax | frimend: get into that path, one level higher than what you want to remove, then try first to get root permissions with "sudo -i" | 12:40 |
| coz_ | madjoe, oh I see... ok how did you install this flash? | 12:40 |
| madjoe | coz_: I forgot :) | 12:40 |
| coz_ | madjoe, oooo | 12:40 |
| TuxSax | frimend: if your dir is /path/to/dir, get to /path/to/ | 12:40 |
| coz_ | madjoe, ok open synaptic pacakge manager Hit the Search button and type in flash see which package is installed | 12:41 |
| madjoe | coz_: I think manually | 12:41 |
| TuxSax | frimend: then sudo -i, supply your password and when in root shell try rm -rf dir/ | 12:41 |
| madjoe | coz_: I don't see any flash* package installed through Synaptic.. and I have ubuntu-restricted-extras enabled in Synaptic | 12:41 |
| coz_ | madjoe, oh ok... well all you really needed to do is sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 12:41 |
| TuxSax | frimend: perhaps you don't have space available on the drive | 12:41 |
| === zz_thyri0n is now known as thyri0n | ||
| coz_ | madjoe, ok then ubuntu restricted extras includes adobe flash | 12:42 |
| coz_ | madjoe, the big problem with the extras is it also installs icedtea / open java | 12:42 |
| madjoe | coz_: oh that's how I have it installed! | 12:42 |
| duffydack | flashplugin-installer is what ubuntu-restricted-extras installs | 12:42 |
| coz_ | madjoe, right that would install flash for you | 12:42 |
| frimend | doesn't work. No differance. | 12:42 |
| frimend | Should be plenty of room on the disk. | 12:43 |
| frimend | And besides, I only want to remove something, should that require space? =) | 12:43 |
| coz_ | madjoe, exactly what is not working with this flash? | 12:43 |
| madjoe | duffydack: flashplugin-installer is disabled in my Synaptic | 12:43 |
| frimend | I'll try to work around the problem. | 12:43 |
| coz_ | madjoe, disabled or marked? | 12:43 |
| TuxSax | frimend: sometimes when the disk is totally full you can't delete anything because even for deleting you need to swap some data | 12:43 |
| madjoe | coz_: ehm... now sit down, please... errr... when I go to my Zynga poker, I can't play.. I know, I know... *blushing* | 12:44 |
| justakill | hey does anyone know Debian? | 12:44 |
| coz_ | madjoe, no problem :) | 12:44 |
| madjoe | coz_: not marked | 12:44 |
| coz_ | madjoe, let me try it here hold on | 12:44 |
| TuxSax | justakill: yes, the gusy at #debian | 12:44 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | frimend, are you sure nothing is using the file? | 12:44 |
| madjoe | coz_: and btw, I'm still on Karmic | 12:44 |
| SauLus | my mouse does not work anymore. When I remove .gconf it does. So what could it be? | 12:44 |
| TuxSax | justakill: try / join #debian | 12:45 |
| justakill | thanks | 12:45 |
| coz_ | madjoe, ah i see... I dont think that should make much difference even with karmic | 12:45 |
| SauLus | no, this was wrong. again: | 12:45 |
| JoeMaverickSett | how do i restart the X server? | 12:45 |
| frimend | ta_bu_shi_da_yu: no, but I don't know what could possibly be using it. =) | 12:45 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | you can find out | 12:45 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | run lsof | less | 12:45 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | what's the file name again? | 12:45 |
| duffydack | just install flashplugin-installer , thats all there is to do... | 12:46 |
| coz_ | madjoe, ok I cant get into that without having facebook logon | 12:46 |
| madjoe | coz_: to be more precise - I could run the application, but I can't see a list of tables and I can't join my friends, so the application kinda works, but not with all the features presented as it should | 12:46 |
| rapchee | hi | 12:46 |
| SauLus | my touchpad does not work anymore. an external mouse does. But when I remove .gconf the touchpad does work. So what could it be? any ideas? | 12:46 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | frimend, what was the directory again? | 12:46 |
| usf | hi,i installed lamp-server but i cant access to phpmyadmin,someone help please | 12:46 |
| madjoe | coz_: and I've seen lots of other ppl have the same issue: http://www.icemanblogger.com/2010/05/enabling-zynga-poker-table-list-and.html | 12:46 |
| TuxSax | frimend: as ta_bu_shi_da_yu said, use lsof, you can try lsof | grep filename | 12:47 |
| Blackheart | can anybody how does axel work it isnt workin with anylink it just opens some weird terminal | 12:47 |
| rapchee | is it only me or the 10.46 stores screen resolution information in a new way? i have a too low refresh rate and i wanted to change xorg.conf but it wasn't in /etx/x11 | 12:47 |
| coz_ | madjoe, ok and did you try that solution on that link? | 12:47 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | SauLus, there's probably a gconf setting | 12:47 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | I think it's touchpad_enabled | 12:48 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | let me check | 12:48 |
| madjoe | coz_: scroll down to the bottom of the page... "Update" | 12:48 |
| dinosaurvskitten | is there a way to get some kind of prompt when I plug in an external hard drive so that I count mount it through truecrypt without having to go through the command line to figure which /dev/sd* it is and then manually mounting? | 12:48 |
| ubuntu-usr | hi all | 12:48 |
| dinosaurvskitten | I could* | 12:48 |
| madjoe | coz_: so I'm just worried if I should manually remove an existing flash version for my browsers.. | 12:48 |
| callipygous | why does my ubuntu say "networking disabled" ? | 12:48 |
| duffydack | dinosaurvskitten, install cryptsetup | 12:48 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | SauLus, go into gconf-editor | 12:48 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | then browse to /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/ | 12:49 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | SauLus, there's a key there - touchpad_enabled | 12:49 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | put a tick in it | 12:49 |
| callipygous | what does it mean by "networking disabled"? | 12:49 |
| coz_ | madjoe, ok so if you uninstall what you have and download from adobe and follow those instructons ... it sayd it is solved for you poker player guys :) | 12:49 |
| madjoe | coz_: that "newest" flash player supports only x32 version platforms | 12:49 |
| callipygous | why would it be disabled if I hadn't disabled it? | 12:49 |
| ubuntu-usr | about dd command: when count parameter have any meaning? it is unnecessary to use it when mbr is restored? | 12:49 |
| coz_ | madjoe, oh i see | 12:49 |
| duffydack | If you are aware of the security flaw and wanna use a slightly old 64bit flash, https://launchpad.net/~sevenmachines/+archive/flash | 12:49 |
| dinosaurvskitten | duffydack, does that even support truecrypt? | 12:49 |
| dinosaurvskitten | duffydack, doesn't seem to be the case | 12:50 |
| duffydack | dinosaurvskitten, now you mention it, idk | 12:50 |
| === tyler is now known as Guest38091 | ||
| coz_ | madjoe, then I am at a loss for another solution | 12:50 |
| madjoe | coz_: I still didn't try sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer - should I remove that ubuntu extras first? | 12:50 |
| duffydack | dinosaurvskitten, thats what I used to setup my usb sticks encryption anyway... | 12:50 |
| coz_ | madjoe, no because it is the same falsh installer | 12:50 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | SauLus, does that solve your issue? | 12:50 |
| madjoe | coz_: so there's no help for me to waste my time I guess :) | 12:51 |
| SauLus | ta_bu_shi_da_yu: ty for your fast answer, i can try it in 5 minutes | 12:51 |
| coz_ | madjoe, well unless you google more about adobe flash 10 64 bit | 12:51 |

| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | that's an AWFUL error! | 13:17 |
| dinosaurvskitten | ta_bu_shi_da_yu, there was actually an appropriate error message but only in dmesg, sigh | 13:17 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | what was the error message is dmesg? | 13:17 |
| dinosaurvskitten | oh well, that's linux for you | 13:17 |

| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | bloody hell | 13:18 |
| manzoor | Hey | 13:18 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | that sounds like a bug to me | 13:18 |
| gartral | how do i force refresh the network list in ubuntu? | 13:18 |
| manzoor | How can I use WAN MINIPORT (PPTP) in Ubuntu? | 13:18 |
| manzoor | it uses the MS CHAP v2 authentication | 13:19 |
| dinosaurvskitten | still can't use the label though, I have to use /dev/sdc1 | 13:19 |
| manzoor | in Windows, my ISP has given me a dialer which lets me connect to the VPN but how do I in Ubuntu? Any help? | 13:19 |
| gartral | manzoor: right click your nm-applet and edit connections, go to mbile broadband and follow that | 13:20 |
| gartral | manzoor: im not sure about that auth method though... | 13:20 |
| xrfang | how do I know my Xorg version? I am running kubuntu10.04. tks | 13:22 |
| manzoor | gartral: hmm... let me try | 13:22 |
| chrissharp123 | !info pptp-linux | manzoor | 13:22 |
| ubottu | manzoor: pptp-linux (source: pptp-linux): Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) Client. In component main, is optional. Version 1.7.2-4 (lucid), package size 47 kB, installed size 180 kB | 13:22 |
| TuxSax | manzoor: you could try to just set up a new pptp connection | 13:22 |
| manzoor | TuxSax: how do I do that? | 13:22 |
| chrissharp123 | manzoor: it's command line but there may be a GUI frontend | 13:22 |
| TuxSax | manzoor: but you will need to install the support for it first | 13:22 |
| === bilalakhtar is now known as sabdfl_ | ||
| TuxSax | manzoor: so you can set it up via network manager | 13:22 |
| manzoor | TuxSax: how do I install it then? | 13:23 |
| gartral | manzoor: sudo apt-get install pptp-linux | 13:23 |
| manzoor | pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ seems outdated? | 13:23 |
| manzoor | are the pptpclient and pptp-linux same thing? | 13:23 |
| gartral | !APT | manzor | 13:24 |
| ubottu | manzor: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 13:24 |
| dinosaurvskitten | oh I'm retarded, you have to use /dev/disk/by-label/blah, not LABEL=blah | 13:24 |
| NeverCast | Lol | 13:24 |
| NeverCast | I have KPacketKit in gnome.. Unknown to me, Why. | 13:24 |
| gartral | manzoor: use apt to install things, not stuff you find on the internet, unless you have too | 13:24 |
| TuxSax | manzoor: sudo apt-get install network-manager-pptp pptp-linux pptpd | 13:24 |
| NeverCast | *Package | 13:24 |
| chrissharp123 | manzoor: they are the same thing: http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-ubuntu.phtml | 13:24 |
| chrissharp123 | manzoor: those instructions are older, but they are probably valid | 13:25 |
| manzoor | alrite thanks, one more thing what information do I need from ISP to get connected? | 13:25 |
| callipygous | well I didn't get much from /var/log/messages TuxSax | 13:25 |
| thune3 | Shinydan: possible it is related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/585444 ? | 13:25 |
| TuxSax | callipygous: nothing happens when you plug the belkin adapter? | 13:26 |
| callipygous | not much just a few inconsequentaial messages | 13:27 |
| Shinydan | thune3: don't think so. I'm going to try and reset fstab with pysdm and see if that works. | 13:28 |
| skumara | my laptop gets an error while loading and now running in low graphic mode. Acer 4520 and nvidiamgeforce 7000M | 13:29 |
| thune3 | Shinydan: you have an entry for cdrom in fstab? | 13:29 |
| skumara | any help? | 13:29 |
| === Tina12 is now known as Kasjopaja | ||
| === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest37188 | ||
| chrissharp123 | skumara: what's the error you're getting? | 13:30 |
| Shinydan | thune3: yes: /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 | 13:30 |
| dinosaurvskitten | is there a way to get a uuid or label for a hard drive that's been encrypted with truecrypt? blkid /dev/sdb1 gives nothing. | 13:30 |
| TuxSax | manzoor: you need the endpoint IP, user/password, and then you can follow this howto: http://www.tuvpn.com/tutoralcont.php?ln=en&id=108 | 13:30 |
| thune3 | Shinydan: if you are on modern ubuntu release, you should comment those out, you shouldn't need them. | 13:30 |
| dinosaurvskitten | all the symlinks in /dev/disk/by-* point to the /dev/mapper/truecrypt* devices, which are created only *after* having mounted them... | 13:30 |
| Shinydan | Just keep the UUID stuff? | 13:30 |
| skumara | chrissharp23 nvidia failed to load. ubuntu running in low graphic mode. | 13:30 |

| thune3 | Shinydan: i just mean comment out the *one* or *two* lines related to cdrom | 13:31 |
| Ragnar | gotta problem with dualboot | 13:31 |
| Shinydan | Done that, thune. Testing. | 13:31 |
| TuxSax | manzoor: but I think in your case you want to remove the point-to-point encryption (MPPE) and on the authentication methods select only the MS-CHAP-V2 | 13:31 |
| Ragnar | windows is on h0,1, ubuntu is on h0,2 | 13:31 |

| NeverCast | Torcs runs so much nicer on 10.04 | 13:32 |

| smackmanic | gartral: old. dell dimension 8200 desktop | 13:36 |
| smackmanic | gartral: have been trying to install plop boot manager which would allow to be boot from usb...having a big issue with it getting installed. | 13:36 |
| duffydack | smackmanic, is your previous kernel not in the menu ? | 13:36 |
| gartral | smackmanic: check to see if a later BIOS addresses the issue? (i know, it's a Dell... Good Luck!) | 13:36 |
| masia | hola sabais como instalar mi webcam en bt4 | 13:37 |
| smackmanic | gartral: pretty scared to update BIOS haha... you know? | 13:37 |
| smackmanic | duffydack: they're both broken beyond what I can do with tem | 13:37 |
| smackmanic | *them | 13:37 |
| gartral | smackmanic: sometimes the risk is worth it for the fix it brings | 13:37 |
| smackmanic | gartral: very true. worried i'm going to fry this comp though...and won't have access to anything for a few weeks | 13:38 |
| Ragnar | cmon guys | 13:38 |
| Ragnar | any help\ | 13:38 |
| gartral | Ragnar: what's up? | 13:38 |
| Ragnar | gartral: gotta problem dualbooting windows | 13:39 |
| Ragnar | gartral: i restore grub and it's gone, only the listing | 13:39 |
| duffydack | Ragnar, update-grub | 13:40 |
| Ragnar | no help | 13:40 |
| Ragnar | nothing | 13:40 |
| duffydack | Ragnar, doesnt find the windows install? | 13:40 |
| TuxSax | callipygous: I've been searching for some info on that and I've found a place where it says the card "goes to sleep" until you do the command ifconfig up .* | 13:40 |
| gartral | Ragnar: are you SURE you didnt select "use entire disk" at install? | 13:40 |
| slaman | Could someone help me install this: http://intellinuxgraphics.org/2010Q2.html | 13:40 |
| slaman | the one in the repos is old. | 13:41 |
| Ragnar | of course | 13:41 |
| th1 | hi, I have an eee 1000he netbook with intel graphics and 1024x600 display. in Win XP it has 1024x768 mode where the gfx card compresses the image, is this possible to do in ubuntu and how? it's very useful for apps that need more space.. | 13:41 |
| Ragnar | grub overwrites mbr | 13:42 |
| stefandebacker | I use ubuntu unr on my eeepc works perfect | 13:42 |
| callipygous | well TuxSax, I'm missing /etc/modprobe.d/aliases :S | 13:43 |
| duffydack | Ragnar, not in a way that stops windows loading. | 13:43 |
| masia | hi how to install my webcam on bt4 | 13:43 |
| masia | plees | 13:43 |
| callipygous | I don't know what was in there, but I think it might be needed to bring up the interface | 13:43 |
| callipygous | I'll try rebooting on to the live cd and copying that file across :/ | 13:43 |
| terry__ | Cant see the trash on the lower right side of the screen! Please help I have to empty it! | 13:43 |
| livingdaylight | ikonia, are you helping lots of people still? | 13:43 |
| duffydack | terry_, use file manager | 13:43 |
| gartral | masia: this is #ubuntu not #backtrack | 13:44 |
| * smackmanic hangs himself | 13:44 | |
| TuxSax | callipygous: the modprobe.d/aliases is the startup kernel modules that are loaded at boot | 13:44 |
| terry__ | How? | 13:44 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | ragnar, hold on a second | 13:44 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | ragnar, you can restore this | 13:44 |
| callipygous | yes, so drivers aren't being loaded, it would seem :/ | 13:44 |
| TuxSax | callipygous: if your adapter needs a module you don't need to reboot, we can fix it | 13:44 |
| Monkey_Dust | terry__: right click on the task bar, Add to panel, Trash | 13:45 |
| duffydack | terry_, nautilus | 13:45 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | can you copy /etc/grub/menu.list to pastebin? | 13:45 |
| TuxSax | let me find the exact module you need | 13:45 |
| callipygous | too late, rebooted | 13:45 |
| callipygous | but sure, go ahead | 13:45 |
| slaman | terry_: right click where it used to be and press add to panel | 13:45 |
| slaman | then find it on the list and add it again. | 13:45 |
| slaman | right click it and "Lock to panel" | 13:46 |
| * duffydack said the module might not be loaded 2 hours ago lolz | 13:46 | |
| TuxSax | callipygous: for now try modprobe rtl8180 or modprobe rtl8187 | 13:46 |
| TuxSax | callipygous: and see if the network goes up | 13:46 |
| wolfric | aptitude can't seem to find 3ddesktop. Anyone know how i can get either that package or an alternative 3d desktop program | 13:46 |
| TuxSax | callipygous: or if the NIC is detected now, then ifconfig wlan0 up may restore your networking | 13:46 |
| wolfric | ubuntu 10.04 | 13:46 |
| callipygous | TuxSax: tried that | 13:46 |
| duffydack | smackmanic, there are guides out there to boot iso with grub, if you can get the iso on the hd...maybe hook it up to another machine etc... | 13:46 |
| TuxSax | callipygous: and? | 13:47 |
| smackmanic | duffydack: boot the iso on another partition even? | 13:47 |
| callipygous | nothing | 13:47 |
| callipygous | it brought up wlan0 but nothing resolved | 13:48 |
| TuxSax | callipygous: did you test with iwconfig to see if it sees the card ? | 13:48 |
| duffydack | smackmanic, yes | 13:48 |
| smackmanic | duffydack: will def look that up | 13:48 |
| duffydack | smackmanic, I use that method for clonezilla. | 13:49 |
| duffydack | http://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live/livehd.php | 13:49 |
| TuxSax | callipygous: what does cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf contains? check that there is no rtrtl8180 blacklisted there... | 13:49 |
| duffydack | the iso method below. | 13:50 |
| callipygous | okay | 13:51 |
| callipygous | give me one sec to boot | 13:51 |
| TuxSax | callipygous: and add a line for rt8180 on /etc/modules so it loads at boot, then try to reboot and see what happens | 13:51 |
| callipygous | just give me a sec TuxSax | 13:51 |
| TuxSax | callipygous: no prob | 13:51 |
| callipygous | I think you're barking up the wrong tree, hold on | 13:51 |
| g0tcha | hey guys, does ubuntu have a Desktop streaming program? for webbrowsers | 13:52 |
| TuxSax | callipygous: LOL, at least I'm trying to bark at something... | 13:52 |
| callipygous | true | 13:52 |
| evilgeenius | I have just installed Xubuntu, but how can I change the boot menu so that windows is the default OS on startup? | 13:54 |
| callipygous | TuxSax: just did an lsmod and rtl8180 shows up :) | 13:54 |
| callipygous | so it's not that :/ | 13:54 |
| cenciu | who can find out for me which is the audio driver for an hp pavilion ze5400 .please | 13:54 |
| TuxSax | callipygous: and iwconfig shows your card? | 13:54 |
| callipygous | yes | 13:54 |
| callipygous | shows it as not-associated | 13:55 |
| duffydack | callipygous, you have more than 1 kernel to boot from ? | 13:55 |
| callipygous | duffydack: no | 13:55 |
| duffydack | k, nvm | 13:55 |
| cenciu | can anyone help me to find out what audio driver has hp pavilion ze5400 ? | 13:55 |
| duffydack | cenciu, lspci -vv | grep Audio | 13:56 |
| cenciu | duffydack: i don't have linux on it. this is the problem. please help me to find out. i tried on google, but nothing | 13:56 |
| duffydack | cenciu, well look under windows device manager then | 13:57 |
| duffydack | callipygous, have you tried using the interfaces file? | 13:58 |
| bareego | evilgeenius, you edit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 13:58 |
| TuxSax | callipygous: it seems all is good with your hardware, you've been just D/C from the wireless lan | 13:58 |
| DarkNemesis | keyboard is broken so excuse missing etters: wat is MPS contro or OS? | 13:58 |
| callipygous | maybe I should set the wireless lan up properly in wpa_supplicant.conf? | 13:58 |
| titus | * | 13:58 |
| callipygous | rather than using the nm-applet? | 13:58 |
| callipygous | duffydack: interfaces file? | 13:59 |
| duffydack | http://pastebin.org/438456 thats mine, for my wpa2 config | 13:59 |
| callipygous | sorry, I'm not really up to speed with ubuntu yet | 13:59 |
| duffydack | I dont have to wait for NM to wake up on boot then :) | 13:59 |
| cenciu | duffydack: i did, but it doesn't tell me that. please... help | 13:59 |
| TuxSax | callipygous: try in command line to run ifconfig wlan0 up and then ifconfig wlan0 key xxxxxx | 13:59 |
| rgnr | ta_bu_shi_da_yu: sec | 14:00 |
| duffydack | TuxSax, I think it needs the long hex version and not the plain ascii key... or not ? | 14:00 |
| smackmanic | duffydack: what do you think about maybe...running the iso in a virtual box or something inside windows...would I be able to properly format/clean out my old ubuntu and install this way do you think? or no...it seems like it would pose a prob (being inside windows) but im not sure | 14:00 |
| TuxSax | callipygous: what kind of wireless network do you have? | 14:00 |
| duffydack | TuxSax, well the interfaces file does | 14:00 |
| duffydack | wpa_passphrase <your_essid> <your_ascii_key> = the long string to use in interfaces file. | 14:01 |
| thune3 | evilgeenius: for grub2 what goes in /boot/grub/grub.cfg is from files in /etc/grub.d/ in order. if you "sudo mv /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober etc/grub.d/09_os-prober", whatever the top listing is from os_prober will be first in the list. There might be a better way. | 14:01 |
| callipygous | WPA | 14:01 |
| callipygous | seems wpa_supplicant.conf doesn't really exist in the same format that I'm used to :/ | 14:01 |
| callipygous | it's some funky hal file | 14:01 |
| TuxSax | callipygous: that might be the problem then... | 14:02 |
| trichard | hey, I'm trying to share some files in a windows network. The sharing works, when i type in my IP address directly on a windows computer i can access my files. For some reason though, my computer doesn't show up in the workgroup when i try to browse computers | 14:02 |
| smackmanic | duffydack: I ask because booting an iso from grub is lookg sketchy. but im still looking into it | 14:03 |
| bareego | trichard, run WINS server on your linux machine | 14:03 |
| TuxSax | trichard: you're not a member of that workgroup | 14:03 |
| callipygous | what might be the problem? | 14:03 |
| TuxSax | trichard: edit the file /etc/samba/smb.conf and change the workgroup = WORKGROUP to match the desired workgroup | 14:04 |
| bareego | callipygous, I found it's good to keep the key simple | 14:04 |
| bareego | lower key | 14:04 |
| trichard | bareego: Will the network still work when my linux computer is not on? | 14:04 |
| bareego | sure | 14:05 |
| trichard | i mean, browsing computers | 14:05 |
| bareego | it'll do browser elections | 14:05 |
| trichard | ok, i thought netbios should have done the trick | 14:05 |
| bareego | normally winders computers without a designated wins server will do browser elections | 14:06 |
| duffydack | smackmanic, you mean use the hd as direct access in vbox? | 14:06 |
| trichard | TuxSay: i'm in the correct workgroup so that ain't the problem ;) | 14:06 |
| trichard | bareego: ok thanks, i'll try it out | 14:06 |
| Monkey_Dust | 'ain't' | 14:06 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | what happened to Ragnar? | 14:07 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | you still about? | 14:07 |
| ker | why sometimes Ubuntu blocks certain websites? | 14:08 |
| ker | now I can't access to art.gnome.org and google.com | 14:08 |

I have a liveusb ready, but my machine doesn't actually support booting from usb.... Plop looked promising but for the life of me cannot get it working | 14:08 |

| smackmanic | duffydack: been trying to figure it out for 4 days now. bleeeeh | 14:12 |
| andrewax | I bet what is a DNS problem | 14:12 |
| andrewax | try use OpenDNS | 14:12 |
| andrewax | or Google DNS | 14:12 |
| smackmanic | tibz: i can get into single user mode yeah, but it appears it broke both kernels. so I'm not sure what you're getting at | 14:12 |
| ker | I have the same DNS (google DNS) on all PCs | 14:12 |
| ker | just this one doesn't work | 14:12 |
| smackmanic | tibz: but I'm open to suggestions for sure | 14:13 |
| duffydack | smackmanic, so this hd has windows and linux on | 14:13 |
| duffydack | smackmanic, and you can boot to windows. | 14:13 |
| andrewax | if router has DHCP enabled, maybe can be a misconfiguration in ip ranges | 14:13 |
| ker | no DHCP | 14:13 |
| tibz | smackmanic: perhaps in single user mode you can cp /mnt/usb/newkernel /boot/kernel | 14:13 |
| trichard | bareego: i've set wins support to yes and restarted smbd but that didn't seem to help | 14:14 |
| smackmanic | tibz: I can try...but it's been sketchy about mounting things... uhmm... lemme think | 14:14 |
| smackmanic | duffydack: yeah | 14:14 |

| callipygous | has anybody got any idea why, all of a sudden (after working flawlessly) it'd say "Networking disabled"? | 14:15 |
| duffydack | callipygous, think maybe its just plain dead? | 14:16 |
| callipygous | and nothing I seem to do gives me any option to reenable it | 14:16 |
| smackmanic | tibz: plus I'm not very good in the console. heh. so I'm not sure exactly how'd mount, e.g. I don't know what my usb would be listed as | 14:16 |
| callipygous | no it's not dead, it runs fine off the livecd | 14:16 |
| callipygous | it's something to do with the harddrive install | 14:16 |
| cba123 | I'm doing "rsync --verbose --progress --recursive /home/cba123/foo/ /media/backup/foo" and it keeps copying the same files on top of themselves, not the differences. Any ideas? | 14:17 |
| duffydack | smackmanic, thinkin about some way using wubi..... | 14:18 |
| smackmanic | duffydack / tibz: right now googling for alternatives to Plop...if i can just get a boot manager that will have usb as an option... | 14:18 |
| callipygous | I noticed "networkenable=false" in | 14:19 |
| callipygous | /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state | 14:19 |
| duffydack | smackmanic, I still think your best bet is to get the iso on another partition/drive and boot it with grub... | 14:19 |
| smackmanic | duffydack: I'm having trouble finding a decent guide | 14:20 |
| dinosaurvskitten | I don't have any sound in mplayer ever since I upgraded to lucid lynx. What gives? It seems to be fine in other programs. | 14:22 |
| alecs | hello | 14:22 |
| _ting_ | hello | 14:22 |
| TheEskimo | !hi | alecs | 14:22 |
| ubottu | alecs: 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! | 14:22 |
| _ting_ | could anyone help me ? | 14:23 |
| dinosaurvskitten | hm, works fine if I use -ao alsa | 14:23 |
| TheEskimo | !help | _ting_ | 14:23 |
| ubottu | _ting_: 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. :-) | 14:23 |
| alecs | can anyone help me debugging why the startup disk creator can't load iso files ? | 14:23 |
| _ting_ | I upgrade my ubuntu to 10.04, and now my nvidia hdmi audio is not working | 14:23 |
| dinosaurvskitten | guess that means pulse is broken | 14:23 |
| _ting_ | I followed several solution provided in differents forums but not luck | 14:23 |
| TheEskimo | _ting_: have you tried reinstalling the official drivers? | 14:23 |
| _ting_ | theEskimo yes | 14:24 |
| andre | any hint or article how to enable mp3 import in rhythmbox? gstream package is already installed for mp3 support. | 14:25 |
| TheEskimo | _ting_: I'm not sure I can help. I have an ati card and so very little experience with nvidia. I hope someone else can help you. | 14:25 |
| _ting_ | Thanks TheEskimo | 14:25 |
| thune3 | alecs: usb startup disk creator is for making a USB bootable (slightly changed) version of what's on the livecd | 14:25 |
| TheEskimo | andre: I'm surprised it doesnt import them already. Can you open an mp3 with it directly? (open the mp3 file. Choose to open with rythmbox) | 14:25 |
| alecs | thune3: then, how can i create from ubuntu a Win xp instalation usb disk ? | 14:26 |
| andre | TheEskimo, yupp. mp3s are playing nicely in rhythmbox | 14:26 |
| Jan0 | Can anyone help me? | 14:26 |

| Jan0 | but its a big question | 14:27 |
| === zz_thyri0n is now known as thyri0n | ||
| TheEskimo | andre: You might need the plugins too. Try getting gstreamer plugins (ugly) | 14:27 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | then it will be a long line! | 14:27 |
| Jan0 | i need to upgrade my computer | 14:27 |
| TheEskimo | jan0: Type out the full question as best you can. | 14:27 |
| andre | TheEskimo, thanks for that hint, will give at try | 14:27 |
| thune3 | alecs: i've see that asked here 10 times and never have seen an answer. | 14:27 |
| Jan0 | and i need to know that the components i will buy, will fit | 14:27 |
| TheEskimo | andre: I hope that does help. I think it should. | 14:27 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | Jan0, you mean like hardware components? | 14:28 |
| Jan0 | yes | 14:28 |
| inoh | hi, how do you disable certain updates from coming through on karmic? | 14:28 |
| dinosaurvskitten | ta_bu_shi_da_yu, neat thanks | 14:28 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | Jano0, are you looking for assistance on driver compatibility? | 14:28 |

| oCean_ | Jan0: join ##hardware for hardware support, this is ubuntu support only | 14:29 |
| Jan0 | but noone answers there:S | 14:29 |

| aguitel | i installed with minimalcd ubuntu the gnome-core ,how manage usplash theme in startup and restart process ? | 14:30 |
| smackmanic | i think i may be one of the few with even a computer around here | 14:30 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | Jan0, no offense here, but if you don't get help there, posting to #ubuntu is probably not going to be any better! | 14:30 |
| Shinydan | thank you, my DVD drive now works and my CPU is better. Bloody cats. | 14:30 |
| tibz_ | smackmanic: i know what you mean. i'm on dialup here (thus i timed out) | 14:30 |
| andre | TheEskimo, installed gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly, no mp3 support at all. maybe i need a restart of gnome. | 14:31 |
| TheEskimo | andre: Try that | 14:31 |
| hotstew | sorry to ask, but is this channel on irc.ubuntu.com? | 14:31 |
| andre | no mp3-import support to be correctly | 14:31 |
| hotstew | Pidgin's IRC is a mess | 14:31 |
| padhu | which package to be installed to measure internet usage recording? | 14:32 |
| oCean_ | hotstew: ubuntu channels are hosted at freenode.net | 14:32 |
| smackmanic | tibz_: such a headache | 14:32 |
| hotstew | but what server am I on now? | 14:33 |
| bareego | smack you still have fun with the same problem from last night ? | 14:33 |
| hotstew | is this Rizon? | 14:33 |
| thune3 | inoh: there is pinning and holding for specific packages. The easiest is under "Introduction to Holding Packages" in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 14:33 |
| andrewax | i guess what this server is freenode | 14:33 |
| oCean_ | hotstew: card.freenode.net | 14:33 |
| smackmanic | bareego: went more in depth with it....turns out i reaaaaaaaaaally just need to reformat and install | 14:33 |
| bareego | haha | 14:33 |
| oCean_ | hotstew: further irc/freenode support in #freenode please | 14:34 |
| bullgard4 | Chatzilla 2.0.6 interprets the input text line 'file://T43:/home/detlef/Dokumente/fremde/Bücher/sockets.pdf' rather dull, opens www.google.com/search and tells me: "Your search - file://T43:/home/detlef/Dokumente/fremde/Bücher/sockets.pdf - did not match any documents." Firefox 3.6.8 more intelligently opens the dialog window "Opening sockets.pdf" and finally opens this local document using... | 14:34 |
| bullgard4 | ...Document Viewer. Why can Seamonkey not do this also? | 14:34 |
| smackmanic | bareego: which is fine by me. i want to get back into my effin OS! but always a prob..hah | 14:34 |
| hotstew | thx | 14:34 |

| hotstew | see, I have two IRC accounts and there is no way seperating them on Pidgin | 14:34 |
| smackmanic | bareego: having fun with that ? ... | 14:34 |
| smackmanic | hotstew: i use xchat personally | 14:35 |
| hotstew | I reinstalled Ubuntu yesterday and am superhappy :3 | 14:35 |
| bareego | it's already running torrent client and encoding some h.264 while I copy data back, so yeah :O) | 14:35 |
| smackmanic | or did...when i had ubuntu working.. >_< | 14:35 |
| hotstew | guess I'll do that | 14:35 |
| aeon-ltd | hi | 14:35 |
| hotstew | I just like to have all my chat stuff in one program | 14:35 |
| inoh | thanks oCean_ and thune3, I don't want the lucid upgrade of any firefox upgrades | 14:35 |
| oCean_ | padhu: there are tools like bmon ifstat ipband iptotal nload in the repositories | 14:35 |
| smackmanic | hotstew: me too, but pidgin/irc bugs me lol | 14:35 |
| inoh | *or any firefox upgrades | 14:35 |
| hotstew | back in a minute :3 | 14:35 |
| padhu | oCean_: which one is nice one? | 14:36 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | hey, do we have an X Window channel somewhere? | 14:36 |
| oCean_ | padhu: really can't tell. It's up to your requirements. Doing some research on the net should give you information on those tools | 14:37 |
| bareego | bmon is nice | 14:37 |
| padhu | oCean_: okey, thanks | 14:37 |
| thune3 | inoh: hmmm, that's one program certianly want up-to-date. Do you have an issue that might be better fixed some other way? | 14:37 |
| ker | fixed the website problem :) | 14:37 |
| tibz_ | padhu: "saidar", or for detailed one try "iptraf" with text-gui | 14:37 |
| bareego | ker what was it ? | 14:37 |
| andrewax | ker wow! How did you? | 14:38 |
| ker | I just installed firestarter :) | 14:38 |
| airtonix | why | 14:38 |
| ker | I read that on a tutorial... | 14:38 |
| ker | http://www.ventanazul.com/webzine/articles/cannot-access-websites-ubuntu-gutsy-gibbon | 14:38 |
| bareego | but that's...firewall ? | 14:38 |
| ker | yes, it's a firewall... | 14:38 |
| andrewax | isn't Firestarter a gui for iptables? | 14:39 |
| bareego | yeah | 14:39 |
| padhu | tibz_: I need GUI | 14:39 |
| airtonix | ker, firestarter is a dead project with unfixed bugs that won't ever be fixed. | 14:39 |
| bareego | seems to have fixed ker's problem though | 14:39 |
| bareego | ironic, haha | 14:39 |
| ker | yeah, it worked for me :D | 14:39 |
| airtonix | ker, ufw and by extensions gufw are ones you want to focus on | 14:39 |
| andrewax | this is the important | 14:39 |
| duffydack | smackmanic, im getting my head around some sort of wubi install, boot to it, maybe then can access the drive to make some partitions, drop an iso on one, and something else.. head hurts | 14:39 |
| padhu | airtonix: then we have only gufw | 14:40 |
| ker | also, I installed dnsmasq for faster DNS resolution (caching) | 14:40 |
| airtonix | padhu, what's your point ? | 14:40 |
| andrewax | but would be useful to see ker's iptables configs | 14:40 |
| Friktion | i get Error unmounting: umount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: | 14:40 |
| Friktion | umount: only root can unmount /dev/sda2 from /media/sda2 when trying to unmount my drive, how come ? | 14:40 |
| andrewax | padhu: do your system haven't graphical interface? | 14:40 |
| duffydack | smackmanic, i take it recovery mode wont boot? | 14:40 |
| ker | andrewax, I had no config in iptables | 14:40 |
| padhu | airtonix: I just need to know total time and total bytes sent& received | 14:40 |
| andrewax | friktion: /etc/fstab | 14:41 |
| airtonix | padhu, ? there are other tools for that | 14:41 |
| nagendra | I have installed ubuntu 10.04. But whenever i install softwares, Its asks to mount ubuntu 9.10. Plz help | 14:41 |
| ker | brb! | 14:41 |
| hotstew | hoho I'm back | 14:41 |
| padhu | andrewax: I have GUI | 14:41 |
| airtonix | ker, (running firestarter as root just to see network traffic bandwidth usages is a bad idea) | 14:41 |
| hotstew | I tried arch over virtualization today. | 14:41 |
| EugZol | nagendra: try going System -> Administration -> Software sources | 14:41 |
| Friktion | andrewax: im pretty new to linux, what am i supposed to do there ? | 14:41 |
| EugZol | and disabling cdrom as source | 14:41 |
| hotstew | But it seems like too much of a hassle. | 14:41 |
| andrewax | padhu and what is the problem? | 14:41 |
| dns53 | Friktion perhaps another user is using it, use lsof to see who has what open | 14:42 |
| padhu | andrewax: I am preparing Customized DVD for an ubuntu workshop to New bees | 14:42 |
| bareego | hotstew, yeah... since I'm used to decent ubuntu packages I don't bother with some distros anymore that I used to fiddle with | 14:42 |
| oCean_ | nagendra: have you updated? In that case the cdrom for 9.10 still might be in your sources file | 14:42 |
| andrewax | padhu WOW! | 14:42 |
| hotstew | anyway yesterday I found out that the best media player for Linux is XBMC ^^ | 14:42 |
| Friktion | dns53: im the only used on this computer | 14:42 |
| bareego | hotstew, I use that on my xbox, hahah | 14:42 |
| dns53 | Friktion where you the first account created on that computer? | 14:42 |
| Friktion | yes | 14:43 |
| andrewax | do someone here seen this ahead? http://www.trollaxor.com/2009/08/my-unsettling-ubuntu-experience.html | 14:43 |
| dns53 | are you sharing the drive with samba or something? | 14:43 |
| hotstew | it plays 1080p mkvs without any stutter and displays and can hide all subtitles and languages | 14:43 |
| smackmanic | duffydack: don't worry about it...if it's hurting your head I won't be able to do it | 14:43 |
| hotstew | it's great for people like me | 14:43 |
| Friktion | hmm nope i dont think so | 14:43 |
| andrewax | it seens be a virus report in ubuntu | 14:43 |
| smackmanic | duffydack: going to post at the Plop forums and see if they can get that working for me..if so my USB will be bootable... | 14:43 |
| hotstew | I thought there was no windowed mode, but there is :3 | 14:43 |
| hotstew | thanks to "\" | 14:43 |
| padhu | andrewax: nothing to excite, We formed ubuntu team and doing it to people | 14:43 |
| smackmanic | duffydack: but I appreciate you taking the time....always good to hash out ideas.... | 14:44 |
| smackmanic | I'm gonna run...have a cig break...some coffee. hit a few walls. | 14:44 |
| smackmanic | take care everyone | 14:44 |
| oCean_ | andrewax: no need to post such nonesense in this channel | 14:44 |
| bullgard4 | Chatzilla 2.0.6 interprets the input text line 'file://T43:/home/detlef/Dokumente/fremde/Bücher/sockets.pdf' rather dull, opens www.google.com/search and tells me: "Your search - file://T43:/home/detlef/Dokumente/fremde/Bücher/sockets.pdf - did not match any documents." Firefox 3.6.8 more intelligently opens the dialog window "Opening sockets.pdf" and finally opens this local document using... | 14:44 |
| andrewax | oCEAN I guesses interesting | 14:44 |
| bullgard4 | ...Document Viewer. Why can Seamonkey not do this also? | 14:44 |
| FloodBot1 | bullgard4: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:45 |
| duffydack | smackmanic, think maybe using portable ubuntu (ubuntu running as a program in windows) it might be able to mount the real ubuntu partitions and then maybe can chroot to it and install kernels. | 14:45 |
| Friktion | what should i do, seems to be more werid things happening like the button to get the list for shutdown, log out etc is gone | 14:45 |
| oCean_ | andrewax: even if you think it is interesting, it is OFF topic. You're welcome to discussin #ubuntu-offtopic | 14:45 |
| c3l | hotstew: mplayer iz teh bezt | 14:45 |
| hotstew | lol I thought so | 14:45 |
| hotstew | but I can't configure it right I guess | 14:45 |
| smackmanic | duffydack: will look into that after I destress, that's a good idea though, will look into that + plop + suicide | 14:46 |
| smackmanic | take care mate | 14:46 |
| hotstew | XBMC just does everything out of the box | 14:46 |
| c3l | isnt it big and bloaty? | 14:46 |
| hotstew | also I like the thumbnails and stuff | 14:46 |
| duffydack | k | 14:46 |
| hotstew | it is a media center and not just a media player | 14:46 |
| c3l | aah you like the blingbling | 14:46 |
| hotstew | guess not everyone needs the same | 14:46 |
| Friktion | andrewa: do you want me to show you my fstab file ? | 14:47 |
| andrewax | well, let's see | 14:47 |
| hotstew | btw how do I see the users in the channel in xchat for gnome? | 14:47 |
| bareego | vls isn't too bad, either | 14:47 |

| Friktion | http://codepad.org/rMhgW0QC | 14:47 |
| andrewax | you said what only root can mount your device, right? | 14:47 |
| Friktion | yes | 14:47 |
| oCean_ | hotstew: View > User list | 14:48 |
| Friktion | i can unmount it and mount it in terminal | 14:48 |
| Friktion | but | 14:48 |
| hotstew | on Windows I use the MPC+CoreAVC setup | 14:48 |
| c3l | hotstew: try /names, but I dont use xchat. you should see the users in the right panel | 14:48 |
| Friktion | i wonder why i cant do it like normally i could do it like 20 minutes ago -. - | 14:48 |
| hotstew | but maybe I should just use XBMC there as well | 14:48 |
| === root is now known as Guest52509 | ||
| hotstew | oh, that thing is a button | 14:49 |
| hotstew | problem solved | 14:49 |

| inoh | thune3: Lucid doesn't get along with Nvidia and firefox was super slow last time I upgraded it | 14:49 |
| mrpinky | hello :D is it true that iPod touch does *not* appear as a standard removable drive? in which case, is it possible to copy files to/from iPod touch using ubuntu? | 14:49 |
| hotstew | iPod touch + iPhone ugh | 14:50 |
| hotstew | love the device, hate the restrictions | 14:50 |
| Friktion | how would i check that ? | 14:50 |
| hotstew | especially that bloatware called iTunes | 14:50 |
| hotstew | coupled with the fact that they don't show up in file browsers | 14:50 |
| mrpinky | i really love the ipod touch interface... but if it doesn't appear as a removable drive, then i will choose another device instead | 14:50 |
| andrewax | Ubuntu bypasses iPhone restrictions and mount it as common pendrive ;) | 14:51 |
| tik | hmm.. how to I add a delete option to the right clck menu? I hadit before but had to reinstall.... | 14:51 |
| bareego | dang, I want my tax return already | 14:51 |
| mrpinky | andrewax, is that for iPod touch? | 14:51 |
| bareego | hardware needs to be bought ! | 14:51 |
| hotstew | oh really? | 14:51 |
| mrpinky | andrewax, or only earlier generation iPods? | 14:51 |
| hotstew | I'll probably get the iPhone 4 | 14:51 |
| andrewax | see here | 14:52 |
| hotstew | but I hate raping my Windows with iTunes | 14:52 |

| hotstew | it's just devaluing your PC for the sake of your phone | 14:52 |
| andrewax | but says the models | 14:52 |
| tik | for iTunes and ipadsi just use windows on a vbox..... | 14:52 |

| dive-o | switching from heimdal to mit krb which i've done on other boxes just fine, removed all of gnome, and most of everything else | 14:59 |
| Misterio | qwert666: It should be mounted in /media or /mnt | 15:00 |
| dive-o | thanks, apt-get autoremove :( | 15:00 |
| Misterio | I don't remember what was folder | 15:00 |
| bareego | dive kinda... but it was sarge | 15:00 |
| qwert666 | Misterio, ye i know, but it isn`t thats the problem ;) | 15:00 |

| Friktion | andrewax: what should i look for in user privilleges ? | 15:00 |

| bareego | you su to a new user ? | 15:02 |
| Macsu | irc.rizon.net | 15:02 |
| dive-o | bareego: or at least was smart enough to realize that libpam-heimdal is not something that means "nuke all of gnome, and everything else while you're there" | 15:02 |
| quickstart_ | how do I change user then? | 15:02 |
| bareego | on my sarge based debian on my xbox server all I did was apt-get install mplayer | 15:03 |
| dive-o | i'd finally gotten gnome exactly how I liked it, then it decides to screw itself. wonderful. | 15:03 |

| dive-o | yeah, this is why I don't like trusting dpkg | 15:03 |
| mkanyicy | quickstart_, can you do a 'sudo su -' | 15:03 |
| bareego | so now I plugged the disk in a normal pc so I just run a new distro on it | 15:04 |
| dive-o | at least freebsd backs up my packages before arbitrarily deleting them during dependency hell :P | 15:04 |
| mkanyicy | quickstart_, you should set set the new users password first | 15:04 |
| dive-o | bareego: if it ends up being more of a pain to recover than to reinstall, I'm ditching ubuntu on that machine | 15:04 |
| bareego | I put lubuntu on it and it works wonderfully | 15:04 |
| dive-o | love it on my netbook, but i have to reconsider trusting it with anything important if it's gonna pull crap like this | 15:04 |
| bareego | setup was really quick.. .just copying the data back takes some time | 15:05 |

| bareego | this time round I bothered to keep the data partition seperate to the linux partition, doh | 15:06 |

| dive-o | bareego: the data i most care about is on other machines, but still, this is ridiculous. I've seen package management screwups on just about everything i've ever used, but never a case of "removing a package nothing uses? ok, i'll take out your whole system" | 15:08 |

| bareego | dive-o, know what you mean | 15:09 |

| dive-o | bareego: I guess at least when I've shot myself in the foot on BSD I can think of a distinct stupid thing I did :P | 15:10 |
| dive-o | this was just a case of trusting dpkg like usual - never done this to me before | 15:10 |
| bareego | distro is only as good as the package maintainers | 15:10 |
| dive-o | true that | 15:11 |

| bareego | I had a xebian install on my xbox file server | 15:11 |

| bareego | no problem now, just ripped the hard drive out and put it in a normal pc and installed lubuntu on it | 15:13 |

| TheEskimo | alexander__: Sudo should let you work with it | 15:19 |
| alexander__ | i wouldn't know how to move the folder without dragging and dropping.. | 15:19 |
| TheEskimo | alexander__: You can use chmod or chown to make it writable by your user. | 15:19 |
| cannonball | I've been trying to get ubuntu installed for 4 days now | 15:19 |
| minimec | cannonball: So you wanted to install ubuntu as second OS besides the WIn7 install and after that install, the ubuntu partition is not found? | 15:19 |
| minimec | cannonball: CAn you start the win7 partition? | 15:20 |
| TheEskimo | alexander__: you could go to a terminal and use "sudo nautilus" and use that window to move the folder. | 15:20 |
| cannonball | correct | 15:20 |
| alexander__ | theeskimo thanks | 15:20 |
| quickstart_ | ok, I've added this line ( aegir ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/apache2ctl) to the sudoers file but when I'm logged in as user and try sudo is asks for password. Why?! | 15:20 |
| TheEskimo | alexander__: I hope it works for you :) | 15:20 |

| minimec | cannonball: As I know, the config files are now in the /etc section (if you use lucid) | 15:23 |
| blitzo | i'm trying to load sun-java6 ... I added the partner repo (http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner), did "apt-get update" then "apt-get install sun-java6" - it says no such package - what am I doing wrong? | 15:23 |
| cannonball | yeah I read about editing the /ect/fstab | 15:23 |
| oCean_ | Jason3: 3rd colum (or 4th, 5th...) are hostname aliases, | 15:24 |
| adac | erUSUL, How can I see if it is a zombie process? | 15:24 |
| minimec | cannonball: If you know something about the old grub syntax, you should be able to understand the new syntax. But a I said. I am not a hero in grub editing. | 15:24 |
| Jason3 | right which is greek to me at the moment and my google search isn't answering the question. Is the hostname alias equivelenet to what I have named my machine? | 15:24 |
| duffydack | blitzo, sun-java6-jre | 15:24 |
| cannonball | I know little to non | 15:25 |
| txsky7 | everybody they? | 15:25 |
| cannonball | and what I did know I have forgotten | 15:25 |
| erUSUL | adac: ps aux | less | 15:25 |
| blitzo | duffydack, i also need the browser plugin, what would that be? | 15:25 |
| duffydack | blitzo, sun-java6-plugin | 15:26 |
| erUSUL | adac: see the stat column if it is Z )or sometines D) | 15:26 |
| Jason3 | oCean_: so gatoarade is my alias? | 15:26 |
| TheEskimo | adac: ps aux | grep -i processName is an alternative | 15:26 |
| xangua | blitzo: openjdk plugin should work as boog as sun java; you have it if you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras | 15:26 |
| oCean_ | Jason3: first field is ipadress. 2nd field is fqdn, after that, you can add any alias you want. like so: http://paste.ubuntu.com/471859/ | 15:27 |
| duffydack | the things I use dont like openjdk as much... | 15:27 |
| mclipsco | anyone know in BASH shell, option where watch command can show elapsed time rather than clock time? | 15:27 |
| adac | erUSUL, TheEskimo http://p't have a clue how nagios could be started 3 times ;) | 15:28 |
| oCean_ | Jason3: yes, and you can have many aliases. Your machine's name (command: hostname) has to resolve at least one of them | 15:28 |
| TuxSax | adac: pgrep proccessname can retrieve the process(es) PID | 15:28 |
| adac | http://pastie.org/1069654 | 15:28 |
| mclipsco | for example # watch -n 5 -d df | 15:28 |
| blitzo | xangua, what is "boog"? openjdk is pretty worthless really | 15:28 |
| xangua | blitzo: good* | 15:28 |
| oCean_ | Jason3: preferrable your "hostname" = fqdn and "hostname -s" is your (first) alias, after that add any alias you want | 15:28 |
| xangua | well then install sun java if you preffer ;) | 15:28 |
| erUSUL | adac: the unkillable processes are nagios ? all of them ? | 15:29 |

| adac | erUSUL, yeah well I had some strange kernel mesages when I entered this virtual machine (openvz). So I tried to restart the virtual machine but stop won't work. Killing those thre processes (nagios) does not work either | 15:30 |

| erUSUL | adac: they seem to be blocked waiting for i/o ( D ) | 15:35 |

| === chazz is now known as Guest58663 | ||
| erUSUL | adac: not familiar with penvz. maybe you forced an umount under their feet or closed some connections... maybe a reboot is the only way to get rid of them | 15:36 |
| qwert666 | Tuxist, when i tried to copy some 700mb file from the cdrom i got 500-600kb/s i expect higher speed then that | 15:36 |

| adac | erUSUL, I can't reboot the whole pysical machine... ;) and vzctl stop does not work. So I'm kinda fracked up | 15:37 |

| TuxSax | qwert666: the hdparm you pasted shows better speeds than that | 15:37 |
| TuxSax | where are you copying them to? | 15:37 |
| erUSUL | adac: maybe google has some clue. "how to kill process stuck in D state " ? | 15:37 |
| Tuxist | bad disk ? | 15:37 |
| TuxSax | adac: did you try to kill -9 them? | 15:38 |
| TuxSax | try this one: for i in `pgrep nagios` ; do sudo kill -9 $i ; done | 15:38 |
| adac | TuxSax, sure thing | 15:39 |
| adac | erUSUL, kk, thx | 15:39 |

| qwert666 | there was only 2 files in the folder * | 15:39 |
| adac | erUSUL, quite a nice explanantion | 15:40 |
| erUSUL | adac: i'm told in #bash ( full of clever people) that reboot can be the only way | 15:40 |
| adac | erUSUL, I agree #bash is a very clever channel :) | 15:40 |
| adac | erUSUL, and yeah tmorrow i will tell my boss to stop playing around with nagios hehehe | 15:41 |
| TuxSax | adac: the best solution is to rather to halt instead reboot, and never power it on again, you'll see there won't be more problems anymore... | 15:42 |

| TuxSax | adac: a container cannot be killed | 15:46 |
| erUSUL | adac: well « kill -9 » is not the answer ... as you saw it lefts all sort of things around | 15:46 |
| Friktion | edbian: it started since i installed pysdm | 15:46 |
| Mr_Sonoma | hemant_, are you trying that from log in screen? | 15:46 |
| erUSUL | Friktion: what error messages you get ? | 15:46 |
| hemant_ | lucid lynx, ctrl alt f1-6 i just gives a blanks screen with cursor blinking but no login prompt | 15:46 |
| adac | TuxSax, erUSUL yeah you are right | 15:46 |
| adac | i can't kill it | 15:46 |
| hemant_ | Mr_Sonoma: no, from my deskop | 15:46 |
| adac | so restart is needed | 15:46 |

| adac | that could work | 15:48 |
| edbian | Friktion, Oh, if you add the user option in fstab then anybody can mount it and you'll be able to using nautilus. Can you pastebin your /etc/fstab?? | 15:48 |

| dhanesh | dont know how to use xchat | 15:56 |
| edbian | Friktion, No no, if you throw in the user option then Ubuntu will boot and automatically mount the ntfs partition. If it does this it will be done as root and should work just fine. You still won't be able to double click the icon in computer but it won't matter because it will already be mounted. Make sense? | 15:57 |
| edbian | Friktion, First try ntfs-3g under type. | 15:57 |
| Friktion | edbian: how would i do that then ? | 15:57 |
| edbian | Friktion, In your /etc/fstab. See the type column? You have ntfs, I'm saying change that type to ntfs-3g. | 15:58 |

| Friktion | edbian: dude i fixed it, i like freaked out and erased the 2 lines to the partition in the fstab and restarted and now it work =) | 16:41 |
| mouse | erUSUL, I used defaults. It had some weird read and write effects. Like files had to be deleted immediately and couldn't be moved to trash. | 16:41 |
| edbian | mouse, Take a look at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab | 16:41 |
| edbian | Friktion, Mmm, the system knows better than we did! :) | 16:41 |
| edbian | Friktion, Glad it's fixed :) | 16:41 |
| drag0nh3art | still upgrading, but thanks everyone who tried to help me... | 16:41 |
| minimec | mouse: Only thing could be the jumpers!! Verify that you set the jumpers on the harddrive correctly (at least with IDE drives) | 16:41 |
| Friktion | yes, and thanks for trying =) | 16:41 |
| livingdaylight | can someone tell me whether paltalk express works in their browser? flash keep crashing here. Works perfectly in Win 7 | 16:41 |
| Friktion | really appreciated | 16:41 |
| guampa | shiftingcontrol: run it as root | 16:41 |
| edbian | Friktion, No problem | 16:42 |
| mouse | minimec, It's sata drive. | 16:42 |
| Friktion | i guess i can stay on ubuntu now =) well bye no need for help anymore | 16:42 |
| IndigoMan | headkase314 when I did this a few weeks ago it seems to me that I had to put a ppa for xchat in the repositories but I can't find where I read that any longer. | 16:42 |

| robertzaccour | do lexmark printers work in Ubuntu? | 16:43 |
| blitzo | guampa, i just did the suggested netstat and it seems i have a process listening at port 631 but netstat doesn't know what the program is - how can i find out? | 16:43 |
| minimec | mouse: If you have some problems, the jumpers are the first start while debugging... | 16:43 |
| robertzaccour | that seems to be the cheap brand and i wanna know if i'm using the right OS for it | 16:43 |
| headkase314 | IndigoMan: Here is where to search PPA's -> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas and here are the xchat results -> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=xchat | 16:44 |
| headkase314 | IndigoMan: Bookmark that first link, it's very useful ;) | 16:44 |

| blitzo | guampa, duh! i figgered that out - it's cups :) | 16:45 |
| mouse | minimec, It only happens when I use the default options in fstab. Any other time it works as a normal hd storage file system. | 16:45 |
| guampa | there! it's true that's its port | 16:45 |
| === thyri0n is now known as zz_thyri0n | ||
| minimec | mouse: I cannot remember the last time I had to edit anything in fstab... MY advise... Check jumpers and maybe install gparted to se how your harddrive is recognized. | 16:47 |
| === Bridge|_ is now known as Bridge|A | ||
| IndigoMan | ok, that didn't work. I wish I could remember how I got that xchat repository into the update manager... | 16:48 |
| bastid_raZor | mouse: does fstab list your drives/partitions by UUID or by /dev/id? | 16:48 |
| headkase314 | IndigoMan: you use the "sudo add-apt-repository <PPA>" to add a PPA, is that what you mean? | 16:49 |
| minimec | IndigoMan: Try this https://launchpad.net/~ken-vandine/+archive/xchat-gnome | 16:49 |
| mouse | minimec, I'm new to fstab. I'm just trying to set up my system so the hd will be mounted when it starts up. | 16:49 |
| Bridge|A | I've tried netstat and the port i'm looking for isnt listed as being active on it, but every time i try 'sudo ident2' i get tihis error msg: | 16:49 |

| minimec | mouse: ONe more reason NOT to touch your fstab ;) | 16:49 |
| IndigoMan | minimec thank you, looking now... | 16:50 |
| mouse | minimec, Good point. But then again, how will I learn? | 16:50 |
| kishajos | rere | 16:51 |
| minimec | mouse: again. If your hardrive is attached correctly in your computer, the drive should be recognized by the system and should be available. | 16:51 |
| kishajos | hi all | 16:51 |
| profxavier | hi guys, looking for someone to help me with permissions, I want to setup NX | 16:51 |
| mouse | bastid_raZor, By default it's uuid but I'm sure id would fly. | 16:51 |
| profxavier | nx server, to be exact | 16:52 |
| kishajos | my friend wants to play World of Warcraft on ubuntu (with Wine, or something like that)... What do you think? | 16:52 |
| kishajos | is it possible? | 16:52 |
| profxavier | kisha, yes | 16:52 |
| headkase314 | kishajos: WoW does work through WINE | 16:52 |
| carlos82 | Hello community | 16:52 |
| bastid_raZor | mouse: UUID is best. do you know how to add a drive to your fstab? | 16:52 |
| carlos82 | im running amarok on ubuntu with gnome | 16:52 |
| carlos82 | but it no sound | 16:53 |
| carlos82 | someone can help me? | 16:53 |
| headkase314 | kishajos: the easiest way to get it working is Crossover Games -> http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxgames/ but that is a paid app: 1 week full trial is available if you want to test it! | 16:53 |
| kishajos | he's got an "old" PC with AMD 2x00+, 1GB DDR, Ati 9550 | 16:53 |
| mouse | bastid_raZor, Yeah. I just seem to be having trouble with the options. Unless giving the label and uuid would make a difference. | 16:53 |
| bastid_raZor | minimec: adding drives to fstab is very simple. | 16:53 |
| profxavier | carlos82, does sounds work for anything ? | 16:53 |
| carlos82 | profxavier: yes | 16:53 |
| bastid_raZor | mouse: paste the line your adding. | 16:53 |
| minimec | bastid_raZor: Yeah, but you normally don't need it, that's all. When was the last time you had to do this? seriously? | 16:54 |
| kishajos | and what do you think about Cedega?:D | 16:54 |
| AntiCasp3r | can anyone help installing my tvcard via xawTV? | 16:54 |
| carlos82 | profxavier: i have sound in SO or rhythmbox or something | 16:54 |
| kishajos | i heard about it today | 16:54 |
| carlos82 | profxavier: but for amarok dont sound | 16:54 |
| bastid_raZor | minimec: when i add a drive i manually add it to fstab. just last week to be honest. | 16:54 |
| minimec | bastid_raZor: a normal hardrive should be recognized by ubuntu without touching anything. | 16:54 |
| profxavier | carlos82, you can configure amarok to use a specified audio device | 16:55 |
| headkase314 | kishajos: Cedega has a history that many people don't like, they pulled an old version of WINE and closed-sourced it against community wishes. Technically it works well, community wise there is resentment. | 16:55 |
| carlos82 | profxavier: where? | 16:55 |
| profxavier | carlos82, i am sure you can just look around and find it | 16:55 |
| bastid_raZor | minimec: but not mounted automatically. | 16:55 |
| AntiCasp3r | can anyone help installing my tvcard via xawTV? | 16:55 |

| teofren | How do you find Ubuntu's fonts? Better or worse than Windows? | 17:00 |
| aloon | better | 17:00 |
| Sia- | is no more possible to update installed apps with CLI apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade? | 17:00 |
| aloon | synaptic makes installing fonts easy as pie | 17:01 |
| wayne | Why does it seem every time I reboot Kubuntu, Xorg fails to start? Using nvidia drivers... | 17:01 |
| io | Sia-: Why not? | 17:01 |
| xangua | sontek: if you delete them you will we unable to call menu (alt+f1) and launcher (alt+f2) | 17:01 |
| aloon | cause nvidia drivers need to be installed properly | 17:01 |
| Sia- | because with gui update manager can see all apps to update but with apt-get upgrade said " The following packages have been kept back:" | 17:01 |
| Bridge|A | besides netstat any other way to see what service is running on port 113, trying to run ident2, but it keeps telling me | 17:01 |

| xangua | are you sure you want to do that sontek¿ | 17:01 |
| io | Sia-: What packages? | 17:01 |
| Sia- | io, ^^ is ubuntu they change the rules :D | 17:01 |
| wayne | I'm installing via the installer that I download from NVIDIA's site | 17:01 |
| Sia- | io, bluefish | 17:01 |
| aloon | how did you install nvidia ? from jockey hardware app , or with gdm closed in a command line ? | 17:02 |
| aloon | is it a newer nvidia card and computer ? | 17:02 |
| wayne | I think it's a geforce 8200 or something. | 17:02 |
| wayne | not exactly sure | 17:02 |
| io | Sia-: Try "aptitude why-not bluefish". | 17:02 |
| rdw200169 | Sia-, just do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 17:02 |
| IVIarcell | how do I install the firefox 3.6.8 java plugin? | 17:02 |
| Sia- | rdw200169, dist-upgrade is bad | 17:03 |
| Sia- | io, why aptitude i'm talking about apt-get | 17:03 |
| rdw200169 | Sia- if i'm not mistaken, that will do the kernel updates | 17:03 |
| magicianlord | aloon: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 17:03 |
| headkase314 | lVlarcell: I believe that "sudo update-java-alternatives" will do the trick but am not totally sure. | 17:03 |
| Sia- | rdw200169, no you mistaken | 17:03 |
| aloon | do you have two computers ? I ask because you need to close gdm and go to a command line and then you cant copy and paste you need to type in a few commands | 17:04 |
| Sia- | manpage dist-upgrade | 17:04 |
| wayne | aloon, I'm on a terminal right now. I can kill KDM. | 17:04 |

| Sia- | !dist-upgrade | rdw200169 | 17:06 |

| aloon | sucka.net how-to-install-nvidia-driver ... it works where-as the othe rmethods dont | 17:08 |

| wayne | oh ok. I'll check it out. | 17:09 |
| guampa | Bridge|A: anyway 123 is ntpd | 17:09 |
| aloon | if you install from nvidia page downloaded you will have issues with every kernel upgrade | 17:09 |
| wayne | yes I've noticed issues with kernel upgrades in ubuntu and red hat | 17:09 |
| aloon | you need to purge nvidia as the wiki says , because you have previous attempted installs in there | 17:10 |
| blitzo | smackmanic, you can find out what's running with htop (apt-get install htop) - run it as root | 17:10 |

| wayne | sounds good to me. :) | 17:11 |
| Sia- | smackmanic, ps-aux | grep firefox | 17:11 |
| IdleOne | aloon: looking at that page. I have to agree with you. | 17:11 |
| Sia- | or simplly kill him with pkill firefox | 17:12 |
| aloon | Do you have ubuntu tweak installed ? after you get the driver in that program can help set things up | 17:12 |

| bullgard4 | Chatzilla 2.0.6 interprets the input text line 'file://T43:/home/detlef/Dokumente/fremde/Bücher/sockets.pdf' rather dull, opens www.google.com/search and tells me: "Your search - file://T43:/home/detlef/Dokumente/fremde/Bücher/sockets.pdf - did not match any documents." Firefox 3.6.8 more intelligently opens the dialog window "Opening sockets.pdf" and finally opens this local document using... | 17:13 |

| quickstart_ | Hi, I'm trying to work out why when I run AEGIR_HOST='uname -n' then reoslveip $AEGIR_HOST is retusn 127.0.1.1 when the hosts file has that again 127.0.0.1. Any ideas? | 17:19 |
| blitzo | bastid_raZor, how do i turn it back on? | 17:19 |
| Sia- | smackmanic, or Alt+Tab | 17:19 |
| bastid_raZor | blitzo: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm :this used to work in early version. | 17:19 |
| smackmanic | im restoring the panel right now...sorry, this is reallly lagged beyond belief | 17:19 |
| duffydack | smackmanic, I have your fix | 17:20 |
| smackmanic | okay, restoring the pale worked | 17:20 |
| Docteh_ | quickstart_: whats resolveip? | 17:20 |
| xangua | livingdaylight: lucid lynx, fx 3.6 latest flash plugin from partner repository | 17:20 |
| smackmanic | now what about this lag lol | 17:20 |
| duffydack | smackmanic, wubi install and then mount linux drive, chroot it and isntall kernel. done | 17:20 |
| smackmanic | it's seriously hitting 30 percent on my CPU and Xchat is all I'm running basically | 17:20 |
| smackmanic | duffydack, oh, I got it installed buddy....went through hell | 17:21 |
| wayne | aloon, thanks a lot. I have X back up and running. We'll see if it remains after the next kernel upgrade. :) | 17:21 |
| livingdaylight | xangua, fx 3.6 =firefox? | 17:21 |
| headkase314 | smackmanic: Are you using Ati with proprietary drivers and have lag when minimizing or restoring windows? | 17:21 |
| julianoliver | Docteh_: it returns the hostname of a computer from the IP | 17:21 |
| duffydack | smackmanic, ah. ok . | 17:21 |
| Bridge|A | oskar is said something about ident being on 113 when i did that command, but earlier i tryed ident and it said not installed that why i installed ident2 | 17:21 |
| smackmanic | duffydack, but now it's eating my CPU like it's no tomorrow...I type and it takes 3 secs for me to see what I typed.. | 17:21 |
| Docteh_ | ah, must not be a standard util | 17:21 |
| blitzo | bastid_raZor, it says i have to choose a default display manager and only that one will run - i want to chose at startup | 17:21 |
| wayne | yes? | 17:21 |
| Docteh_ | or its standard with ubuntu-desktop | 17:21 |
| erUSUL | Bridge|A: sudo lsof -i :113 | 17:21 |
| duffydack | smackmanic, how did you reinstall it? shame I didnt think of this earlier..would have done the job nicely. | 17:21 |
| Bridge|A | does ubuntu 10.04 come with a ident server/daemon installed? | 17:22 |
| Bridge|A | k 1 sec | 17:22 |
| Docteh_ | oic it is standard, was on wrong compy | 17:22 |
| erUSUL | Bridge|A: no; but maybe you installed one | 17:22 |
| livingdaylight | xangua, i'm a lilttle confused as there appear ot be a couple adobe flash plugins. | 17:22 |
| quickstart_ | Docteh_: it's in this document for debian: (http://git.aegirproject.org/?p=provision.git;a=blob_plain;f=docs/INSTALL.txt;hb=HEAD) and it doesn't seemt o resovle to the localhost one. Any ideas? | 17:22 |

| smackmanic | guess i gotta google this lag/cpu issue. seriously, this is insane | 17:22 |
| Bridge|A | yea i installed indent2 cuz it said indent wasnt installed | 17:22 |
| Bridge|A | erUSUL: inetd 9640 root 5u IPv4 90469 0t0 TCP *:auth (LISTEN) | 17:23 |
| Docteh_ | quickstart_: I thought 127.x.x.x worked as loopback | 17:23 |
| * smackmanic waits for firefox to come up | 17:23 | |
| erUSUL | Bridge|A: do you need a ident server fo a specific reason ? | 17:23 |
| erUSUL | Bridge|A: if you don't just uninstall it | 17:23 |
| Bridge|A | yea i cant get on me pysbnc, lol | 17:23 |
| quickstart_ | Docteh_: so if it's returning 127.0.1.1 (which is the name of my desktop) that's ok? | 17:23 |
| smackmanic | why thank you firefox....that only took 20 seconds... | 17:24 |
| livingdaylight | xangua, i usually abbreviate it to ff for firefox, yea got 3.6.8 here also running lucid and running the non-free version of flash here too | 17:24 |
| erUSUL | Bridge|A: then if you need it. there is nothing wrong in it being there ... | 17:24 |
| Docteh_ | yea | 17:24 |
| === [Apple] is now known as [Apple]{mobile} | ||

| Docteh_ | never seen firefox abbreviated to fx before, seems odd | 17:25 |
| livingdaylight | xangua, ok | 17:25 |

| murlidhar | Docteh_ well firefox is generally abbreviated as ff | 17:26 |
| headkase314 | smackmanic: Are you Ati with proprietary drivers? | 17:26 |

| viktor | Anyone got a eee pc with a "Fn" key on the keyboard? | 17:26 |
| Docteh_ | I have a 2g surf woot woot | 17:27 |
| smackmanic | headkase314: idk to be honest...just installed....I forget what graphics card I'm using TBH, it's been a long 4 days | 17:27 |
| smackmanic | whatever ubuntu installed for me, that's what installed. I haven't messed with anything | 17:27 |

| smackmanic | what's the command again in term to see the processes? I'd like to pastebin this stuff info if I can | 17:29 |
| siba | hello, I have a big problem with external monitor and acer aspire 2930 and ubuntu 10.04 | 17:29 |
| siba | it looks like the refresh rate of the external monitor is not correct | 17:30 |
| julianoliver | smackmanic: ps ax | 17:30 |
| siba | and I can't find a way to fix it | 17:30 |
| n-iCe | how to know my linux arch? | 17:30 |
| lyanne | which ubuntu version is the best? | 17:30 |
| livingdaylight | xangua, looking in synaptic I see two. I have installed flashplugin-installer and flashplugin-nonfree 10.1.53 but there is another one called adobe-flashplugin 10. What is the difference? | 17:30 |
| Docteh_ | !best | lyanne | 17:30 |
| ubottu | lyanne: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 17:30 |
| julianoliver | n-iCe: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 17:30 |
| Docteh_ | eh, its close enough | 17:30 |
| erUSUL | smackmanic: to see them ordered by cpu usage use « top -b -n1 > output.txt » pastebin that file | 17:30 |
| siba | is there any ubuntu channel I can ask for that? something like an ubuntu-laptop or ubuntu-video related irc channel? | 17:31 |
| smackmanic | one sec...well....few seconds.... | 17:31 |
| lyanne | who is good in backtrack? | 17:31 |
| Docteh_ | siba: I'd try searching the ubuntuforums for your problem | 17:31 |
| n-iCe | it does not says julianoliver | 17:31 |
| erUSUL | lyanne: #backtrack-linux | 17:31 |
| julianoliver | n-iCe: 'uname -m' ? | 17:31 |
| siba | Docteh_: didn't find anything that can fix my problem | 17:32 |
| siba | I think it is something related to the video card the acer aspire 2930 have | 17:32 |
| siba | but I'm not sure | 17:32 |
| xangua | livingdaylight: adobe-flashplugin is from partner repos i belive, flashplugin-nonfree is actualy empty (it can be removed with no priblems) and redirects to install flashplugin-installed | 17:32 |

| xangua | n-iCe: 64 bits | 17:32 |
| headkase314 | n-iCe: that means the system is 64-bit | 17:33 |

| miststlkr | hey all. I am running a persistent ubuntu 10.04 install off an SD card on my netbook but can't seem to get the fstab to load the built-in hard drive, and I'm guessing that I am doing something stupid wrong. if I open /etc/fstab as root and add "/dev/sda2 /media/acer ntfs defaults 0 0" [also tried ntfs-3g] then save and reboot, that line has been removed and the drive not mounted. if I just sudo mount it manually it works as int | 17:34 |
| miststlkr | ended. Am I editing the wrong file or is this perhaps not supported in a persistent install?? | 17:34 |
| Ka[z] | I installed "sudo tasksel install lamp-server" and it doesn't seem to have installed php? | 17:34 |
| julianoliver | erUSUL: is flash and all that foo working in x86-64 currently? | 17:34 |
| livingdaylight | xangua, i'm confused. I should also ask whether your is a 32 or 64-bit system install. Maybe this makes adifference to flash working for paltalk express or not? | 17:34 |
| julianoliver | erUSUL: it's been years since i've looked into this stuff. | 17:34 |
| erUSUL | julianoliver: mostly yes. flash is not stelar in performance but it works | 17:34 |
| julianoliver | righty | 17:34 |
| Hilikus | miststlkr: if the line is removed then it's not a persistent file | 17:34 |
| Hilikus | miststlkr: what does the rest of fstab look like | 17:35 |
| xangua | livingdaylight: myne is 32bit | 17:36 |
| xangua | mine* | 17:36 |
| miststlkr | hilikus: That was all I could come up with as well... that the persistent installs don't actually keep everything in the casper file, which would make perfect sense. | 17:36 |
| livingdaylight | xangua, ok, same here, so, why not working here? mystery | 17:36 |
| livingdaylight | xangua, hardware? | 17:36 |
| Hilikus | miststlkr: whats a caspter file?? | 17:36 |
| miststlkr | hillikus: fstab is as follows | 17:37 |

| Hilikus | how can i tell the dns ip my computer is using? | 17:54 |
| Euthanatos | woble, you mean your routers is your modem, like a 2wire sbc or something? | 17:54 |

| Hilikus | bastid_raZor: they are assigned by my isp every time i connect | 17:56 |
| soreau | xangua, Docteh_: It is the recovery partition the Toshiba mfgr put on there | 17:56 |
| bastid_raZor | Hilikus: look in nm-applet in the top panel | 17:56 |
| soreau | and I want to know how to install ubuntu next to it | 17:56 |
| Docteh_ | recovery partitions are usually stuffed full of things, cant shrink a full partition | 17:57 |
| bastid_raZor | Hilikus: you do need to be connected before /etc/resolv.conf is populated. and nm-applet is what adds servers there | 17:57 |
| _L30_ | how do i add a ppa repository ? | 17:57 |
| Hilikus | bastid_raZor: it shows my router. i know in windows it actually shows the dns server, not my router | 17:57 |

| smackmanic | tntc, fresh install bro, yeah | 18:00 |
| EvilPhoenix | Hilikus: oh, try 4.2.2.4 and 8.8.8.8 for DNS servers | 18:00 |

| Hilikus | i guess i'll have to boot into windows for it :( | 18:00 |
| EvilPhoenix | Hilikus: no you wont | 18:00 |
| Docteh_ | _L30_: i have no idea what to make of that error, maybe the PPA doesn't have anything for the version of ubuntu you're using? | 18:01 |

| erUSUL | MarkRich: no | 18:42 |
| MarkRich | OK, I'll print them again. | 18:42 |
| MarkRich | OK, I just did this command: grep -rw 'bash test' **/*[1,2] which gives me the listings for the sudirectories, but not the working directory. If glob is necessary to accomplish this, what does it mean? | 18:42 |
| craigbass1976 | erUSUL, dmesg | tail sayeth: ext4_check_descriptors: Block bitmap for group 168 not in group (block 655...)! | 18:43 |

| craigbass1976 | erUSUL, next line says group descriptors corrupted. This sounds bad, to me. | 18:44 |

| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 18:55 |
| mistabechet | the top bar is very thin | 18:55 |
| lymera1n | ok | 18:55 |
| mistabechet | how i make it bigger? | 18:55 |
| lymera1n | mistabechet, what ubuntu remix are u using? | 18:55 |
| lymera1n | mistabechet, if u are talking about the top bar with applications/places/system, u would right click it and hit Properties. | 18:56 |
| mistabechet | lymera1n, ubuntu remix 10.04 | 18:56 |
| mistabechet | but i cant see Properties | 18:56 |
| mistabechet | all the options is disable | 18:57 |
| bastid_raZor | mistabechet: right click the top bar > properties > size ..increase the size by clicking the up arrow | 18:57 |
| lymera1n | mistabechet: try opening a terminal and running "gnome-panel --replace" without the quotes | 18:57 |
| lymera1n | mistabechet: that will reset the panel properties, therefore salving your issue | 18:58 |

| tensorpudding | is the application indicator in 10.04 ubuntu-specific, or is it a gnome thing? | 19:35 |
| danielig | well, I still could not get rid of the nepomuk stuff | 19:35 |
| lymera1n | tensorpudding: gnome | 19:35 |
| oCean_ | danielig: how did you install? | 19:35 |
| trism | tensorpudding: it is an ubuntu addition | 19:36 |
| danielig | it got installed on its own, I think during some update process a dependancy was added. I just have kile from the kde package (there was konqueror and some other stuff withit but I really just wanted kile... ) | 19:37 |
| byte | I'm having some difficulty getting my netbooks wireless to connect to a WPA access point. I've configured the appropriate settings in wpa_supplicant.conf and whatnot. | 19:37 |
| tensorpudding | trism: That's unfortunate...can it be ported? | 19:37 |
| oCean_ | danielig: is it installed as a .deb package? What happens when you try to remove it the usual way? | 19:37 |
| byte | The documents I've read say that its supposed to report association with the AP, but it doesnt ever do that, it just continually reports the results of a scan of all visible AP's. | 19:38 |
| byte | (wpa_supplicant) | 19:38 |
| trism | tensorpudding: yes, it would be possible, but a bit of work because most of the applications that support it have ubuntu-specific patches to add that support | 19:38 |
| tensorpudding | darn | 19:39 |
| tensorpudding | I suppose it's the nicese change I've seen in Gnome in a while | 19:41 |

| tensorpudding | jeaton: installing and configuring openssh server will allow you to log into a shell remotely and securely | 20:38 |
| jeaton | ok | 20:38 |
| c3l | hspaans: hm, so whats stopping an entirely free mobile platform to exist is that no hard ware developer will join, and without compatible hardware its fail | 20:38 |
| profxavier | duffyduck, I think thats what I want, but it wasn't pulling from the place I want to grab the color from, Firefox | 20:38 |
| jeaton | what i meant by remote access is by log onto this machine from a different box | 20:38 |
| hspaans | c3l: you mean the N700, N800, N810 and the N900? | 20:39 |
| tensorpudding | jeaton: but if by remote access you meant something more like Windows remote desktop, it's more involved | 20:39 |
| c3l | and alot of stuff to communicate with th enetworks etc is patented, but the case is the pretty much the same in computers | 20:39 |
| jeaton | im just needing to log in through a shell | 20:39 |
| c3l | hspaans: whtas that? | 20:39 |
| Kwpolska | haavaros: resize it | 20:39 |
| Kwpolska | use gparted for example | 20:39 |
| duffydack | profxavier, click the colout selector, and you can choose the tool from there and it will pull from where-ever | 20:39 |
| Kwpolska | shall work ok | 20:39 |
| jeaton | thanks tensorpudding | 20:40 |
| Kwpolska | haavaros: the minimum I use is 8 gb for vms and 20 gb for real machines. | 20:40 |
| Kwpolska | vms = lightweight as possible | 20:40 |
| tensorpudding | jeaton: okay, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH provides a lot of information on how to configure SSH | 20:40 |
| haavaros | Kwpolska: Yeah, but the thing is that the partition IS 77 GB already... at least that's what it looks like in Palimpsest. So I'm missing ca. 63 GB somewhere | 20:41 |
| hspaans | c3l: it is not about patents, but about certification. the communication part is only one chip from three supplies in the whole world and is seperate from the OS and it's processor | 20:41 |
| profxavier | duffydack, actually it did work | 20:41 |
| profxavier | had to do it in the color selector | 20:41 |
| Kwpolska | haavaros: install gparted and gimme a screenshot | 20:41 |
| duffydack | <duffydack> profxavier, click the colour selector, and you can choose the tool from there and it will pull from where-ever | 20:41 |
| hspaans | c3l: you have heard of Nokia? | 20:41 |
| c3l | hspaans: oooh, what about the phones you linked, are they free? | 20:42 |
| hspaans | c3l: on the N900 you can install your own OS, it already runs a Debian-branche | 20:42 |
| c3l | hspaans: whaat, I didnt know anything like that existed, ive been on search for a free phone, tired to be locked inside my iphone, those nokia phones seems very interesting | 20:45 |
| nv7f | test | 20:45 |
| Wiesshund | free phone? | 20:45 |
| haavaros | Kwpolska: Palimpsest: http://bildr.no/view/695818 . Gparted: http://bildr.no/view/695820 | 20:46 |
| c3l | Wiesshund: freer* less locked than an iphone | 20:46 |
| Kwpolska | don't use palimpsest | 20:46 |
| hspaans | c3l: jups, I prefer no to have my live controlled by an American-company | 20:46 |
| Kwpolska | haavaros: I see, friend. | 20:46 |
| Kwpolska | haavaros: remove your pr0n | 20:46 |
| haavaros | Kwpolska: NEVER :P | 20:47 |
| Wiesshund | c31 ive seen people unlock iPhones and use them on verizon and sprint etc. | 20:47 |
| hspaans | c3l: search planet.debian.org and planet.gnome.org. sometimes there are updates about this | 20:47 |
| Kwpolska | I could also suggest upgrading by fresh install to 10.04 and making the swap a primary partition | 20:47 |
| hspaans | c3l: meego was the new project name if I'm not mistaken | 20:47 |
| Kwpolska | the lastest is possible without fresh install | 20:47 |
| c3l | Wiesshund: yeah my iphone is unlocked too, I have access to the filesystem and so, and other carriers too. but I dont want to support a company that locks their users | 20:48 |
| c3l | hspaans: thanks for sharing info about this :) | 20:48 |

| hspaans | zopiac: remove the file, do an update and try again? | 20:53 |
| Wiesshund | c31 i like my pc but not enough to shrink it and carry it with me | 20:53 |
| zopiac | i cleared out /var/cache/apt/archives/ and it still gave the error | 20:54 |
| Wiesshund | zopiac use package manager to find then remove broken packages | 20:54 |
| zopiac | it redownloaded it and started yelling at me again >_< | 20:54 |
| ogex | zopiac, try "apt-get clean all; apt-get update; apt-get install -y wine" | 20:54 |
| robertzaccour | hspaans: d1660 isn't in the list. it jumps from d1400 to d2300 but d1660 isn't in the list | 20:54 |
| c3l | Wiesshund: after using an iphone daily for a year, I cant really see my selfe not having a smartphone | 20:54 |
| zopiac | ogex: it says permission denied, even though i used it as root | 20:55 |
| Wiesshund | zopiac yea i had that happen on an app, and apt-get couldnt fix it, but using the package manager and using the broken filter fixed it in seconds | 20:55 |

| Lt-Elmo | in driver tab change from hplips to hpcups | 20:57 |
| Lt-Elmo | done | 20:57 |

| Cowhm | when i ran dpkg --get-selections mysql* it returned that everything is installed | 21:06 |

| Wiesshund | zopiac you could install OS by mounting the ISO image | 21:11 |
| chrissharp123 | Cowhm: dunno - you might try 'sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start' and see if an error happens | 21:11 |
| hspaans | zopiac: you tried? sudo apt-get install -f | 21:11 |

| kishajos | My friend has got more, and he's got only a GMA945 | 21:11 |
| chrissharp123 | Cowhm: might be '/etc/init.d/mysql-server start' if that doesn't work :-) | 21:11 |

| mroiler | quit | 21:12 |
| chrissharp123 | Cowhm: then try 'sudo start mysql' | 21:12 |
| Wiesshund | zopiac yes from within a running OS, look at unetbootin | 21:12 |
| hspaans | zopiac: and? ls -l /var/cache/debconf | 21:12 |
| edbian | Dmstrdj, I have some ideas. Look at the output of sudo lspci -k | 21:13 |
| Dmstrdj | edbian k | 21:13 |
| zopiac | Wiesshund: ive never seen unetbootin be able to run within a boot of an OS... | 21:13 |
| edbian | Dmstrdj, It will list the driver in use and the kernel modules (drivers not in use) but are availabe. | 21:13 |
| Cowhm | chrissharp123: that returned start: job is already running: mysql | 21:13 |
| zopiac | hspaans: hmmm. ls: cannot access /var/cache/debconf: No such file or directory | 21:13 |

| Dmstrdj | edbian, ok give me min goota boot it again | 21:14 |
| Wiesshund | zopiac its used all the time to install on eeePC's that have no cd and the user has no flash drive | 21:14 |
| chrissharp123 | Cowhm: ah - ok - I think that just means that the message you got was informational - not an error message | 21:14 |
| chrissharp123 | Cowhm: so try logging in to mysql client | 21:14 |
| zopiac | Wiesshund: interesting, i will check it out | 21:14 |
| edbian | Dmstrdj, sure. | 21:14 |

| Cowhm | chrissharp123: it gives me error #2002 cannot log in to the mysql server | 21:15 |
| zopiac | hspaans: any way to restore /debconf? | 21:15 |
| hspaans | zopiac: sudo mkdir /var/cache/debconf && sudo apt-get install --reinstall -f debconf | 21:15 |

| visiON_ | [visiON_] Is it possible to get a BSOD from faulty drivers? | 21:16 |
| visiON_ | [visiON_] Basically my friend is getting BSOD's in normal windows, none in safe mode. | 21:16 |
| visiON_ | [visiON_] The same one i reformatted HDD | 21:16 |
| visiON_ | [visiON_] He tried different RAMS, and onboard GFX card, still BSOD | 21:16 |
| visiON_ | [visiON_] Which lead me thinking it might be drivers, since most drivers are not loaded in safe mode | 21:16 |
| FloodBot1 | visiON_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 21:16 |

| aeon-ltd | The_Saint: disconnect from this channel, /connect to the irc server you want then /join the channel you want | 21:16 |

| lapion | shouldn't that be #$windows ? | 21:19 |
| edbian | jesse_, You need some sort of windows recovery disk or something and run the fixmbr command from a prompt. Technically your question is about windows now and not linux so we are a little bit off topic here... | 21:19 |
| hspaans | zopiac: you may want to install debsums and run it to see what more you're missing | 21:19 |

| kinygos | ok, i asked earlier, then did a bit more research...anyone know how to configure the default keyboard layout in ubuntu server 10.04? | 21:57 |
| chrissharp123 | Cowhm: I don't know to be honest... you could check with 'df -h' to check your disk space | 21:57 |
| Cowhm | chrissharp123: nah there is plenty, hmm | 21:58 |
| Sir_Konrad | guntbert and coz_: Check finished. No errors. :( | 21:58 |
| bash_rockstar | kryocat it's not YYYY-MM-DD http://pastie.org/1069936 | 21:58 |
| guntbert | Sir_Konrad: strange - so burning another CD would not help :( | 21:59 |
| Sir_Konrad | nope. :( | 21:59 |
| kinygos | i've found the directory /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty contains a file defkeymap.kmap.gz, which i've replaced with a copy of uk.kmap.gz. sudo loadkeys --default will load the keyboard layout i want...but it doesn't persist through power cycles | 21:59 |
| Sir_Konrad | but I can't figure out what's choking it. | 21:59 |
| Sir_Konrad | I certainly don't want to install Windows on this machine. | 22:00 |
| amir` | hey, im looking for mirroring a single page with images&scripts (make cache of external website) ... what is the best solution? curl? wget? | 22:00 |
| guntbert | Sir_Konrad: what version are you trying to install? | 22:00 |
| Sir_Konrad | guntbert: 10.04 LTS Desktop | 22:00 |
| agib | how to I install libc6 >= 2.12 -- when I do apt-get install libc6 it install 2.11 ... I'm using ubuntu 10.04 | 22:00 |
| Sir_Konrad | guntbert: you think I should try the alternative CD? | 22:01 |
| kinygos | any ideas anyone? sorry if it's a n00b question | 22:01 |
| hspaans | Freeaqingme: your part of the ipv6 pilot? | 22:01 |
| Freeaqingme | hspaans, what pilot? | 22:01 |
| jigal | how can i check which php libraries are installed | 22:01 |
| guntbert | Sir_Konrad: I honestly don't know (I was suspecting the alpha version) | 22:02 |
| hspaans | Freeaqingme: xs4all ipv6 pilot or just a tunnel? | 22:02 |
| chrissharp123 | agib: libc6 is *probably* not one you want to mess with, at least on a production machine :-) | 22:02 |
| hspaans | Freeaqingme: it is tunnel space, sorry for asking | 22:02 |
| unclemike | anyone in florida that has Comcast for internet server ? | 22:02 |
| Freeaqingme | hspaans, oh, it's just a /48 tunnel from xs4all. Though they're going to nativy it next week I hope :D | 22:02 |
| hspaans | Freeaqingme: they are not as far as I know | 22:03 |
| Freeaqingme | hspaans, not officially | 22:03 |
| agib | chrissharp123: hmm I'm trying to install nginx-0.7.67 from the packages here: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/n/nginx/ and it's saying it needs libc6 >=2.12 | 22:03 |
| Freeaqingme | but it helps if you 'know' people hspaans | 22:03 |
| hspaans | Freeaqingme: like my native ipv6 connection at xs4all? | 22:03 |
| kinygos | at the risk of spam...anyone know how i can persist my chosen keyboard layout through power cycles on ubuntu server 10.04 lts? | 22:03 |
| Freeaqingme | hspaans, if it's native; yes ;) | 22:04 |
| guntbert | kinygos: did you already ask in #ubuntu-server ? | 22:04 |
| k0sh | ok, evolution tells theres one message unread on gmail acct, but notificator still tells theres 0 messages on that account, any ida wtf? | 22:04 |
| k0sh | idea | 22:04 |
| kinygos | ah...i didn't know there was that channel....thanks guntbert :) | 22:04 |
| guntbert | KindOne1: Good luck :-) | 22:05 |
| chrissharp123 | agib: is there a particular reason you need that version? the current version of nginx in the lucid channels is 0.7.65... | 22:05 |
| hspaans | Freeaqingme: it is native ;-) no the final test would be a massive renumbering without issues for the big rollout if may believe Marco | 22:05 |
| ElvenArcher | I have a problem about playing .mkv files in video players and experiencing 3d application related problems such as moving windows around. i have tried to intall drivers that i've downloaded from the ati's website and that didn't work, i have tried the open source ati drivers for my ati gpu card also but that didn't work too. using laptop model HP DV6 1144et and ati mobility radeon hd 4650 in kubuntu 10.04. I apriciate any help. | 22:05 |
| Freeaqingme | hspaans, wait, renumbering, why that? | 22:05 |
| agib | chrissharp123: I guess I could use 0.7.65 | 22:05 |
| guntbert | !ot | Freeaqingme hspaans | 22:05 |

| Freeaqingme | that's what I wanted to ask, tnx :P | 22:06 |
| chrissharp123 | agib: probably easier/better - libc6 is going to be a dependency for *many* integral programs | 22:06 |
| * chrissharp123 has learned from experience :-) | 22:06 | |

| Kungfood | srry Jib, complete nub here...can you explain that a bit more? | 22:14 |
| EvilPhoenix | soreau: yeah remove the package files | 22:14 |
| aeon-ltd | soreau: whats wrong with the apt way? | 22:14 |
| Jibadeeha | Kungfood, type man ls and then man less | 22:14 |

| agib | maybe I'll try spinning up a new version | 22:15 |
| soreau | I want a command to say remove the headers and all things related to a kernel. ie. a way to use wild characters like apt-get --purge *2.6.32-12* | 22:15 |
| agib | err new instance on ec2 | 22:15 |
| ActionParsnip | soreau: just manually is fine, just dont remove the current kernel | 22:16 |
| chrissharp123 | agib: can you post the full output at http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/ and share the URL? | 22:16 |
| soreau | ActionParsnip: I know that but I want a way to remove all kernel packages of a same version | 22:16 |
| th1 | in Ubuntu wiki how can I insert #!/bin/sh in the text? I am showing a shell script for users to copy/psate but it just ignores the # | 22:16 |
| soreau | to easily remove all packages for older kernel | 22:16 |
| soreau | How can you use wild characters with apt-get? | 22:17 |
| deco | soreau, apt-get autoremove ? | 22:17 |
| agib | chrissharp123: yeah -- I'm just going to try a fresh ec2 instance first and see if it still happens... I messed with a bunch of things (libc6, installing from a downloaded .deb, etc.)... I think I just screwed up the os | 22:17 |
| ActionParsnip | soreau: ust covering all bases :) | 22:17 |
| soreau | deco: autoremove does not remove kernels | 22:17 |
| deco | k | 22:17 |
| ActionParsnip | soreau: i'd remove them individually so you dont mess up, sensitive stuff dude | 22:18 |
| soreau | I want a way to remove all kernel packages of a certain version, the -image and -headers or anything else with the same kernel version. I want a command to remove the suite of kernel packages of a same version | 22:18 |
| chrissharp123 | soreau: apt-get accepts fileglobbing - (using *), but listen to ActionParsnip :-) | 22:18 |
| Tapout | is there a "pc wizard" for ubuntu, where I can see what video card I put in the machine? | 22:18 |

| rfm | I want to remove a flaky hard drive and throw it away, but don't want somebody fishing it out and reading it. it's not super secure info so "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb" seems good enough.

| Slart | Tapout: there are some hardware information apps.. lshw is one | 22:19 |
| Kungfood | Jibadeeha, really sorry here...i must be dense, i tried the command like you said (minus the "-R" got an error with that) and it worked...but will i have to use theat command every time? | 22:20 |

| ActionParsnip | rfm: why not just hit it with a hammer to shatter the platters?? | 22:20 |
| Slart | rfm: it does kind of the same thing that regular "nice" does.. but for io usage | 22:20 |
| rfm | Slart: yes, reading man page now. looks like the first thing to try. thanks. | 22:21 |

| Slart | eviltoaster: try something like DISPLAY=:0.0 vlc and see if that works | 22:22 |
| Slart | tenochslb: probably.. if the encryption app is available for both distros and you know the keys | 22:22 |

On the other hand when I mount dvd with "unhide" option as mounally or automatical from fstab, in this time instead of showing hiddedn files, I can not use these files because of permission "user 501". any idea? | 22:28 |

| k0sh | is there some indicator-applet friendly lightweight imap mail notificator, preferably that is aware of evolution mboxes and checks them in background when evolution is turned off? | 22:39 |

| rewati | hi is there any way to add apples voice greeting feature in ubuntu | 22:40 |
| edbian | fincan, Yeah, some gnome magic. It looks at /etc/fstab and if there is no entry for whatever you're mounting it makes a bunch of assumptions. In order to change what it does you edit /etc/fstab. Either that or change the source code and re-compile it to your liking. | 22:41 |
| ActionParsnip | rewati: you could add an entry in your startup to run a command to launch espeak or festival to say "Welcome to Ubuntu" if that gets you off | 22:41 |
| fincan | | 22:41 |
| fincan | edbianN: well, can I enchant this gnome magic with unhide option? :) | 22:41 |

| SoldOut | jj_: please explain last comment | 23:49 |
| AviMarcus | hmm, k. | 23:49 |
| headkase314 | jj_: you need a device separate from your hard-drive to hold the image while you are installing. What did you use before? | 23:49 |

| chrissharp123 | CkhiKuzad: with sudo | 23:50 |
| headkase314 | maelstorm: what is the issue? | 23:50 |
| aeon-ltd | Dantonic: it may be that you have too many partitions on it, however i don't think thats stopped an installer from seeing it completely | 23:51 |
| SoldOut | jj_: please explain last commen | 23:51 |
| EvilPhoenix | jj_: you cant install linux if you're running linux within daemon tools | 23:51 |

| An_Ony_Moose | I keep getting the indicator applet and the notification area confused >_> | 23:54 |
| jj_ | yeh it does dcrw | 23:54 |
| texastwister | jj_: k3b is another good option if you don't have brasero | 23:55 |

| AviMarcus_ | -gnome | 23:57 |

| Dr_Willis | Everyone seems to hate xchat-gnome. :) I never use it. | 23:57 |
| AviMarcus_ | wrong one? | 23:57 |
| Ffej5647 | i want to dual boot windows with ubuntu and someone told me i can have ubuntu access files from the windows partition is this true? | 23:57 |
| trism | An_Ony_Moose: they both have similar functionality so I suppose they are trying to migrate everything over to the indicator applet instead | 23:57 |
| CkhiKuzad | i have given up on trying to figure out how to install this with google. i resorted to calling (dun dun dun!!!!) technical support -.- | 23:57 |

| AviMarcus_ | k, brb | 23:57 |
| === Bridge|A is now known as Bridge| | ||
