| coz_ | jae_, yeah I am convinced not each install installs identically.. not sure I can help with wireless.... first thing Iwould try is sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to see if anything needs updated or upgraded | 00:04 |
| sandking | ChogyDan, i already got the latest | 00:04 |
| jae_ | >coz thanks i'll give that a try | 00:04 |

| sandking | KE1HA, does the info http://www.pasteall.org/14779 i gave you says something interesting? | 00:16 |
| Dr_Willis | faryshta: when a supported cam is plugged in. it normally loads the proper modules and makes that /dev/video0 device. You could chekc 'dmesg' output and near the end it may mention some info about that camera | 00:16 |
| sandking | after installing new kernel i need to update grub, reboot and that's all?\ | 00:16 |
| KE1HA | sandking, no, not really, jsut says you ahve the generic ath9k driver installed. | 00:17 |
| KE1HA | sandking, follow the how too, then let us know how it turns out. | 00:18 |
| sandking | ok | 00:18 |
| ChogyDan | sandking: it looks like you should already have the driver, if you have 2.6.35 installed... | 00:18 |
| sandking | i'll try to build it tomorrow it's 1:20 am and i need to wake at 7 | 00:19 |
| sandking | so no luck this time for me | 00:19 |
| Dr_Willis | faryshta: i would say check the !webcam factoid and the forums. thats basically the extent of my webcam trouble shooting. In the past either they worked from teh start.. or were totally unsupported. | 00:19 |
| KE1HA | sandking, ok, also post a bug report or add to a bug that's listed for you card so you / we can track ur progress. | 00:21 |

| Dr_Willis | Somelauw: bash job controll. use '&' after a command to put it in the background. | 00:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Somelauw: ie--> gedit & | 00:43 |
| khalidmian | aeon-ltd: when i insert cd it runs install and asks we to run wubi.exe | 00:43 |

| red2kic | Bisu[Shield]: You said "Surfing or using bit torrent" -- I say stay away of bit torrent if you want to keep your Internet active. | 00:44 |
| Dr_Willis | Somelauw: then either use the exit command, or the 'disown' command. avoide just hitting the close button. that may kill the spawned jobs | 00:44 |
| Dr_Willis | Bisu[Shield]: stop surfing also.. :) | 00:44 |

| ChogyDan | Somelauw: you can also just do: gedit & disown | 00:46 |
| aeon-ltd | khalidmian: sorry i can't help you if the installer went perfectly fine, you have to remember wubi is still fresh software and errors occur, for maximum cconsistency you should really just use the proper installer | 00:46 |

| aeon-ltd | khalidmian: yeah i've heard cases of wubi's hit and miss nature, unless you changed some settings during install, or it could be grub2 causing the boot problems | 00:50 |
| ChogyDan | Somelauw: the & makes it run in the background, and the disown makes it separate from the terminal process, so if you close the window it doesn't get closed. not sure if that was what you were looking for | 00:50 |

| KE1HA | I need to submit a bug, my KB doesnt' listen to my fingers :-) | 01:18 |

| bobsomebody | when i load my server its kicking me into a "grub shell" i guess | 01:19 |
| Dr_Willis | TiK: did you try the simple --> unzip '*.zip' | 01:19 |
| bobsomebody | can anyone tell me what i forked up? | 01:19 |
| TiK | Dr_Willis: yeah :P | 01:19 |
| TiK | ill just do it from GUI | 01:19 |
| KE1HA | TiK, what error did you get ? | 01:19 |
| TiK | nve hough of that | 01:19 |
| hotstew | hi guys, sometimes I don't receive over WLAN anymore even it's shown as connected | 01:19 |
| TiK | filename unmatch errors | 01:20 |
| hotstew | when I reload ndiswrapper over modprobe it works again | 01:20 |
| Dr_Willis | TiK: thats worked for me in the past. Not tried it lately | 01:20 |
| dublisk | Hi, how do I install sun java sdk ? I did this "add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner" " but it still isn't showing up | 01:20 |
| Dr_Willis | !info unp | TiK | 01:20 |
| ubottu | TiK: unp (source: unp): unpack (almost) everything with one command. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.15 (lucid), package size 10 kB, installed size 76 kB | 01:20 |
| Dr_Willis | dublisk: you did 'update' the package listing? | 01:20 |
| mikeru | simple question | 01:20 |
| hotstew | is there a more elegant way to make this automatic than write a small ruby script hat continuously runs in the background all the time? | 01:20 |
| mikeru | how do I know if ubuntu is using both cores? | 01:21 |
| KE1HA | TiK, with "unzip *.zip" you need to be in the directory where the files reside, so "unzip ./*.zip" should work. | 01:21 |
| === c14nadziewacz is now known as DaZ | ||
| TiK | ./ hmm ok | 01:21 |
| KE1HA | But as said, the GUI is probably easier, although not fo batch processing. | 01:21 |
| jinxzs | i need help to install Psi how? | 01:21 |
| duffy | TiK, gui also works.. select them and extract.. | 01:22 |
| duffy | why the cli method? | 01:22 |
| dublisk | Dr_Willis : How do I do that? (I've been using ubuntu for 5 minutes) | 01:22 |

| FloodBot2 | TiK: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:22 |
| TiK | duff: trying now | 01:22 |
| mikeru | jinxzs: easy. Ubuntu Software Center » Search for psi » Install | 01:22 |
| mikeru | now, wasn't that easy? | 01:22 |
| bobsomebody | never mind i was able to boot it | 01:23 |
| Docteh | hotstew: have you tried fiddling with ndiswrapper, like different driver version, or w/e? | 01:23 |
| mikeru | or if you prefer command line: sudo apt-get install psi | 01:23 |
| jinxzs | @mikeru thanks..il be bback if i have any questions | 01:23 |
| TiK | duffy: that worked it's slow though | 01:23 |
| Dr_Willis | dublisk: package manager ment basics.. you add a repiository. you update the listing. otherwise it dosent know whats in the new repo. | 01:23 |
| mikeru | heeeeey | 01:23 |
| mikeru | simple question | 01:23 |
| mikeru | how do I know if ubuntu is using both cores? | 01:23 |
| KE1HA | TiK, if that fails try a recurssive approach: find . -name "./*.zip" | while read filename; do unzip -o -d "`basename -s .zip "$filename"`" "$filename"; done; | 01:23 |
| Dr_Willis | dublisk: 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade' | 01:23 |
| duffy | TiK, slow is relative to your system | 01:23 |
| TiK | duffy: no im on a p fast system | 01:23 |
| hotstew | I think there's only one driver working at all. | 01:24 |
| TiK | thts why I was doing to from console for speed | 01:24 |
| dublisk | k thanks | 01:24 |
| duffy | TiK, it does each 1 by 1, so job done afaic | 01:24 |
| TiK | true | 01:24 |

| Docteh | mikeru: time an app that uses multi cores and see if it comes back with like 4mins CPU time 2mins clock time | 01:24 |
| mikeru | Docteh: is that the only way? :S | 01:25 |
| Docteh | mikeru: or uname -a look for "SMP" and cat /proc/cpuinfo and look for multiple cpus | 01:25 |
| Dr_Willis | mikeru: the app also has to make proper use of both cores. | 01:25 |
| duffy | mikeru, it probably is. | 01:25 |
| Dr_Willis | mikeru: ubuntu by default uses all cores.. apps may or may not make full use of them. | 01:25 |

| Docteh | FliesLikeScreen: do the create commands as a pre-up for the bridge | 01:50 |
| FliesLikeScreen | Docteh: it's in /etc/network/interfaces. it looks like this issue is described by this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dhcp3/+bug/580319 | 01:50 |
| Docteh | oh | 01:50 |
| slidinghorn | vinicius, sem o espaço "/ join # ubuntu-br" (sem aspas também) | 01:50 |
| FliesLikeScreen | Docteh: the bridge comes up fine, the problem is that dhcp is being started before the interfaces are up | 01:50 |
| Docteh | whoopsies | 01:50 |
| FliesLikeScreen | Docteh: I'm looking for a way to say " don't start dhcp until interfaces are all up" | 01:51 |

| Docteh | who is running dhcp then? | 01:51 |

| FliesLikeScreen | Docteh: it's this box running dhcp too. dhcpd tries to start at boot, but the interfaces aren't up yet. so dhcpd fails. a few seconds later the bridge interface finishes coming up, but dhcpd never comes up | 01:51 |

| xomp | FliesLikeScreen, sure thing thanks! | 02:06 |
| FliesLikeScreen | xomp I don't see that listed as a module that comes with Apache on Ubuntu | 02:07 |
| FliesLikeScreen | xomp look through your configs in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and /etc/apache2/mods-enabled for anything mentioning it | 02:07 |
| xomp | FliesLikeScreen, this is my loaded modules http://pastebin.com/MzmnADTQ | 02:07 |
| FliesLikeScreen | it has to be loaded from somewhere in those files, so find it and comment it out | 02:07 |
| xomp | FliesLikeScreen, I found "reqtimeout.load" & "reqtimeout.conf" in my /etc/apache2/mods-enabled folder. What do I do with them? | 02:08 |
| FliesLikeScreen | rm them both | 02:09 |
| xomp | oh ok | 02:09 |
| FliesLikeScreen | they're probably just symlinks to the mods-available folder | 02:09 |
| xomp | FliesLikeScreen, yeah they look like symlinks | 02:09 |

| LordZiru1 | NETbook, samsung n140 | 02:14 |
| shaggystyle | /var/run/mysqld only has mysqld.sock | 02:14 |

| skumara | the zoom works well | 02:22 |
| Dr_Willis | skumara: sort of crippling things.. you wont be able to do most of the compiz/other effects.. look in keyboard preferances , options | 02:22 |

| jinxzs | o there i see it now | 02:24 |
| jinxzs | thanks dr willies | 02:25 |
| edbian | amy_, We here you. It's just that your question has nothing to do with Ubuntu. | 02:25 |
| bazhang | amy_, this is ubuntu support; did you have an ubuntu support question? | 02:25 |
| Dr_Willis | jinxzs: use the command line tool then, or the 'fileroller' tool. | 02:25 |
| amy_ | i only wanted to ask about the programming languages | 02:25 |
| bazhang | amy_, this would not be the correct channel for that | 02:25 |

| p_res | jdahlin: No. | 02:28 |
| Dr_Willis | Graves: you mean to (and lets see if i have esp) you are truying to use the remote desktop feature of gnome and have it set to auto login and it cant do it? | 02:28 |

| p_res | jdahlin: Directory on a different system you mean? | 02:30 |
| jdahlin | p_res: right, created by debootstrap so far | 02:30 |
| KE1HA | Graves, Here's another method: http://davestechsupport.com/blog/2009/01/16/how-to-remove-ubuntus-password-keyring/ | 02:30 |
| p_res | jdahlin: It shouldn't matter what kernel your host pc is using. | 02:30 |
| dive_ed | i did an in place update from 9-10 to 10-04. since then have had intermittent problem with window bar missing from from program windows. Sometimes an get back with log off and back on. other times requires reboot. any idea what could cause this. | 02:30 |

| p_res | jdahlin: Is this on the same system or a remote login? | 02:32 |
| KE1HA | mikegerwitz, me too, it doesnt' send what I type, but maybe it's brain -> to finger -> to keyboard issue for me :-) | 02:32 |
| jdahlin | p_res: same system | 02:32 |
| p_res | jdahlin: Sorry, I wish I could help you but I simply don't understand what exactly you're tying to do. | 02:33 |

| p_res | Gumby``: I also can not connect at the moment. | 02:35 |
| 20QABK82T | Dr_Willis, it apears so | 02:35 |
| Dr_Willis | 20QABK82T: its just some packages you can remove. its a meta-package that instaslled several other packages used by the netbook system. having it on your machine shouldent hurt anything | 02:36 |

| Graves | it keyrings it again | 02:38 |
| mikeru | ,,so, can someone help me? | 02:39 |
| KE1HA | Graves, you could try SSH keys, that will circumvent the need for sending your password, if you only need command line access. | 02:39 |
| Kyo | Aionym: Thank you very much | 02:39 |
| mikeru | again, | 02:39 |

| KE1HA | Graves, have a look at this and see what you think: http://maketecheasier.com/auto-unlock-keyring-manager-in-ubuntu-intrepid/2009/03/14 | 02:42 |
| Graves | k ty | 02:42 |
| Aionym | gogeta: mesa isnt installed... i installed it about two hours ago and my boot sector went kaplooey | 02:42 |
| gogeta | you need mesa-utils | 02:43 |
| gogeta | to get glxinfo | 02:43 |
| gogeta | not just mesa | 02:43 |
| Graves | grrr | 02:43 |
| Graves | i dont have that password keyrings tab | 02:44 |
| KE1HA | Graves, it appears if you've set Gnome-Desktop to Autoog on, this does't pass through the Keyring manager, and onece your logged on it ask for a PW agian. Setting a Null PW in the key-ring manager seems to solve this. | 02:44 |
| gogeta | without some form of mesa i do not open gl 3d will work | 02:44 |
| Aionym | gogeta: im installing mesa and the utils now... | 02:44 |
| Graves | yeah | 02:44 |
| Graves | it looks like a good solution | 02:44 |
| Graves | now i just have to figure out how to do that | 02:44 |

| Graves | i think i got it | 02:46 |
| gogeta | Aionym: it should have grabbed it when you installed the utils | 02:46 |
| Graves | i changed the password to null | 02:46 |
| Aionym | gogeta; with karmic it did but since ive started playing around with lucid i dont have it | 02:46 |

| Blackweb | Does anyone know of a good program to burn Bin Cd Images | 02:50 |
| Dr_Willis | bin/cue can be converted to iso, or k3b can burn them i recall. | 02:51 |
| KE1HA | Sing1gniS, kenel support for trim was in 2.6.28 or there abouts, if its not supported then it's probably a bug. Check Ubuntu Bugs for appropriate soluitons. | 02:51 |

| Aionym | gogeta: i must have goofed something im not seeing it | 02:53 |
| Blackweb | As far as converting it goes then what program would do it | 02:53 |
| Blackweb | or is my best bet to transfer them over to a windows based system and burn them that way | 02:54 |
| gogeta | Aionym: scrool up to direct rendering it will say yes or no | 02:54 |
| Aionym | gogeta: the wine, not the rendering lol i should have specified | 02:54 |

| ubottu | Graves: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 03:04 |
| Blackweb | I thought only programs, but what i did is have a partition on my harddrive for windows that I only use for grams | 03:04 |

| KE1HA | whoops, then su | 03:05 |
| Graves | but i want to sahre a folder | 03:05 |
| Graves | and apparently only su can do that | 03:05 |
| gogeta | Aionym: lol your wine app crash | 03:05 |
| ugliefrog | Blackweb, Im following instructions from a forum but i dont know the mount point of the the cdrom | 03:06 |
| Dmstrdj | gogeta, will it start at startup or would i need to manually run it | 03:06 |
| KE1HA | it takes Samba to share folders, and thus, yes, su would be required to install it, if it's not already installed. | 03:06 |
| Blackweb | ugliefrog most mount points are /media/Folder | 03:06 |
| Graves | installing samba was easy | 03:06 |

| Aionym | gogeta: i think it was a pibkac error... | 03:07 |

| Pici | picard1421: That application is no longer present in 10.04 | 03:08 |
| Blackweb | then try going into like cdrom0 cdrom1 and see which one brings up your CD data | 03:08 |
| KE1HA | Graves, or right click on a folder to share, should be straight forward. | 03:08 |

| paissad | any idea ? | 03:08 |
| gogeta | Dmstrdj: intels cards do have oss drivers there just crapy same for via | 03:08 |
| gogeta | Dmstrdj: ati and nvida have there own drivers | 03:09 |
| Dmstrdj | gogeta, its an ati card | 03:09 |
| Graves | says permision denied when i try | 03:09 |
| gogeta | Dmstrdj: IF ITS A OLD CARD IT USES OSS DRIVERS IF ITS A NEW CARD YOU CAN INSTALL ATIS DRIVERS | 03:09 |
| gogeta | dam caps | 03:10 |
| Blackweb | Graves what you trying to do | 03:10 |
| Blackweb | you can change the permissions with chmod | 03:10 |
| xomp | could someone please help me with an apache2 issue? I'm getting access denied errors pertaining to server configuration and can't find out why. | 03:10 |
| Dmstrdj | gogeta, i tried those, my card would not work with it | 03:11 |
| KE1HA | Graves, what folder you trying to share ? is it one owned by your user or root ? | 03:11 |
| Graves | owned by root im guessing | 03:11 |
| gogeta | Dmstrdj: then its probly a old model that uses oss and 3d works on prety mutch all old ati cards under oss | 03:11 |
| Graves | var/www | 03:11 |
| n3vv3k | annyone know how to configure digital audio output | 03:11 |

| Aionym | how do i force close a window? alt+F4 doesnt work and just the window is frozen i can alt+tab out and in but its nonresponsive | 03:11 |
| gogeta | Dmstrdj: my 9200 work fine under oss | 03:12 |
| KE1HA | Graves, I dont think you can do that from SU, you'd need to be root, but why you need to share a root folder ? | 03:12 |
| Graves | i want to host a personal website | 03:12 |
| Graves | and thats the folder apache uses | 03:12 |
| Graves | and i want to place html files from windows into it | 03:12 |
| Dmstrdj | gogeta, pardon my newishness, whats oss | 03:13 |
| KE1HA | Zzeiss, yes, this bug manifested in a fairly rescent kernel. It's since been resolved at the Dev levels, but not distro levels. 10.10 its fixed Im pretty sure. | 03:13 |
| Graves | like i said ima complete nub | 03:13 |
| gogeta | Dmstrdj: open source softwhere | 03:13 |
| Graves | i prolly shoulda went wamp instead of lamp | 03:13 |
| gogeta | Dmstrdj: in the case of a old ati open source driver | 03:13 |
| Dmstrdj | gogeta, oh ok, well that was the first thing i tried | 03:13 |
| gogeta | Dmstrdj: oss drivers are out of the box | 03:14 |
| Dmstrdj | gogeta, right | 03:14 |
| KE1HA | Graves, root is the big-dog, you should rarely if ever have to use root for anything. If su can't do it, then there's somethign not quite right. With a few exception of course. | 03:14 |
| gogeta | Dmstrdj: no installing nedded | 03:14 |
| Graves | o ok | 03:14 |
| Graves | so it would be easier for me to tell apache to look elsewhere then | 03:14 |
| Dmstrdj | gogeta, and i went back to them after removing the others i tried | 03:14 |
| gogeta | Dmstrdj: if thers a closed driver for your card all you have to do is go to your system and hardware if thers a driver it will do all the work of installing it for you | 03:15 |
| Aionym | how do i close a window thats nonresponsive? i can move it to different spaces and tab in and out but i can close the bl**dy thing | 03:15 |
| KE1HA | Graves, Apache owns the web-root I'm pretty sure, but that has nothgin to do with the system root, what you trying to do? | 03:15 |
| Dmstrdj | gogeta, the performance was shabby, and someone on here told me that the drivers for it did not run on 10.04 | 03:15 |
| Dmstrdj | gogeta, not this card | 03:15 |
| Graves | put html files where apache can use them | 03:16 |

| bluejeans | good evening all... i am trying to purge some packages from my system.. 'aptitude purge x' purges 'x' and deps but leaves the recommends.. how do i remove the recommends as well? | 03:16 |
| gogeta | Dmstrdj: well people say that but if its a old card shabby preforance is due to age | 03:16 |
| KE1HA | Graves, Ok, now ya need to google some Apache2 How-Too, nothign to do with system root. | 03:16 |
| Dmstrdj | gogeta, i googled it, tried to find another alternative | 03:16 |
| Graves | l | 03:16 |
| Graves | k | 03:16 |
| gogeta | Dmstrdj: turning off visul effects should take alot of load off it | 03:16 |
| Dmstrdj | gogeta, its not the newest card, but obviously you have not had problems with a radeon card in ubuntu | 03:17 |
| cody_ | any one else have the problem of there virtual desktops limited to 16? | 03:18 |
| Dmstrdj | gogeta, so i was trying to find another route to throwing the card away lol | 03:18 |
| gogeta | Dmstrdj: yep the oss drivers are pretty good but just rember its a old dog and not to turn on all the eye candy wile it works it will drage any games etc down | 03:18 |

| shihan | zzeiss, ooo, what type of touchscreen? | 03:19 |
| gogeta | foir its age | 03:19 |
| Dmstrdj | gogeta, the eye candy was down already, for there was no video card recognized, i had nothing to change, and tried on all 3 settings | 03:19 |
| Zzeiss | shihan: the one on a Toughbook CF-18. | 03:19 |

| gogeta | Dmstrdj: ohhh its a hd isnt it | 03:20 |
| shihan | ahhh, fair enough | 03:20 |
| gogeta | Dmstrdj: there is a bug on one that 3d is disabled due to it being unstable | 03:20 |

| gogeta | Dmstrdj: yea i saw that guide to retofit the old closed driver to lucid to make it work | 03:21 |
| Jeaton | thank you | 03:21 |
| Dmstrdj | gogeta, right, the older drivers wont work in .04, and i was wondering if wine would help | 03:21 |
| hotstew | I had regular deb packages installed and I think they might be faulty | 03:22 |
| Dmstrdj | gogeta, instead of taht | 03:22 |
| gogeta | Dmstrdj: no wine uses linux drivers it transcodes to opengl | 03:22 |
| hotstew | is there a direct way to download the packages? | 03:22 |
| xangua | hotstew: faulty'' | 03:22 |
| xangua | ¿¿ | 03:22 |
| bluejeans | can anyone tel me why my computer is so slow with ubuntu? | 03:22 |
| hotstew | yeah, they seem to crash or something | 03:23 |
| xangua | you can get ndisgtk and ndiswrapper package from the ubuntu cd hotstew | 03:23 |
| Dmstrdj | gogeta, so building my own probably only solution possibly | 03:23 |
| gogeta | Dmstrdj: yea untill they fix that broken driver | 03:23 |
| Dmstrdj | gogeta, thanks | 03:23 |
| gogeta | Dmstrdj: i forgot what model hd but it will not show up due to the 3d being disabled | 03:23 |
| Zzeiss | bluejeans: Howso "slow"? What machine/cpu/memory/disk, and what release? | 03:23 |
| hotstew | guess I'll try that | 03:23 |
| gogeta | Dmstrdj: i beleve ther is also a way to configure the xorg.conf to force the driver to work | 03:24 |
| Dmstrdj | gogeta, cool good to know | 03:24 |

| soadkombucha | Couple of questions. I'm aware that the Ubuntu derivative I'm using is not Canonical supported, however most of it is added apps and a changed UI, and I am being told to remove broken packages before updating but I don't know how to do that. Secondly, I am having issues with windows install discs does anyone know how to get an ISO extracted to a partition and flag it as bootable so that I can install Windows? | 03:50 |

| soadkombucha | xangua: It's not an OS that even really has a webpage, but I figured somebody would be able to help remove broken packages | 03:52 |
| xangua | Frankiitaa: what do you mean by it doesn't work¿¿ are you putting a data cd/dvd, a VCD or a comercial DVD ¿ | 03:52 |
| gogeta | ndevastator: yea they leave them for you to remove just in case the new kernel failes and have a fallback but if everything goed smooth like it does 99% of the time you can remove them after a update | 03:52 |
| gogeta | ndevastator: just a failsafe | 03:53 |
| ndevastator | gogeta, yea i like it that way | 03:53 |
| Fishscene | Ubuntu just saved my life. My Mac HD somehow had a corrupted HFS+ block... brought my Mac to the apple store today and they told me my next step was to try to recover files off and wipe drive clean and start from scratch. Booted to OSX cd... hard drive had no partition... what to do? pop in ubuntu 9.04, install hfsprogs, check the disk for problems, reboot, Mac works just fine. HURRAH! | 03:53 |
| ndevastator | gogeta, cuz i tried manually changing a kernel once >.> | 03:54 |

I just upgraded to 10.04 today from 9.10 hoping this issue would be fixed but it wasn't. Anything I can try that doesn't include reinstalling? I also ticked the display trash icon box in gconf-editor and that didn't help. I mean it seems that the trash applet doesn't exist | 03:56 |

| ubuser5 | what does i386 mean? | 04:46 |
| Fishscene | it should dump a list of all mounted drives | 04:46 |
| Frankiitaa | anything at all | 04:46 |
| [V13]Axel | SteelWing: Not that I know of. | 04:46 |
| Fishscene | i386 = x86 processor architecture. It is NOT 64-bit compatible. | 04:46 |
| [V13]Axel | ubuser5: i386 is basically a way of saying 32-bit processing. It comes from the line of Intel processors from back in the day. | 04:46 |
| Wiesshund | SteelWing i dont think so | 04:46 |
| eliezer | im ok my problem hasnt benn solved so far,,but im looking some info online about the trash can issue | 04:46 |
| [V13]Axel | ubuser5: Also known as, "x86." | 04:46 |
| Frankiitaa | [v13]Axel anything at all | 04:46 |
| ubuser5 | oh, cool | 04:46 |
| Wiesshund | Frankiitaa can you give a bit more detail on what it isnt doing? | 04:47 |
| SteelWing | Well, then my attempts at updating Glib couldn't have caused the problem... Then aggggain it did tell me to delete 2 files | 04:47 |
| SteelWing | again* Jeeze how did I do that? | 04:47 |
| [V13]Axel | Frankiitaa: Okay, do you know the manufacturer of the drive? | 04:47 |
| Frankiitaa | [v13] no i dont, is from a olidata tower | 04:48 |
| itsux2bu | http://blog.stochasticbytes.com/2010/05/installing-ubuntu-1004-server-on-usb.html in the Fixing Grub section it says to "mount your usb stick" how do i do that? | 04:48 |
| ubuser5 | back in the day lalw | 04:48 |
| ubuser5 | snes on ubuntu 5.1 | 04:48 |
| Jordan_U | Frankiitaa: What is the output of "ls -l /dev/dvd"? | 04:48 |
| ubuser5 | bishes | 04:48 |
| itsux2bu | my usb stick is sdh | 04:48 |
| bazhang | ubuser5, 5.10 is not supported here | 04:49 |
| ubuser5 | ^^bishes | 04:49 |
| itsux2bu | mount /dev/sdh yes or no? | 04:49 |
| Wiesshund | itsux2bu cant you use unetbootin to install server to usb? | 04:49 |
| destroth | Does anyone know how I can set the channel on my mon mode, so it doesn't try using a random channel? | 04:49 |
| Frankiitaa | jordan_u lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2010-08-02 22:21 /dev/dvd -> sr0 | 04:49 |
| [V13]Axel | itsux2bu: /mount /dev/sdh /mountpath | 04:50 |
| [V13]Axel | Oops. | 04:50 |
| itsux2bu | Wiesshund, i've never used it.. i don't know what that is.. | 04:50 |
| [V13]Axel | itsux2bu: mount /dev/sdh /mountpath | 04:50 |
| Wiesshund | itsux2bu its a very nice tool for doing various installs like to USB or to HDD with no usb or cdrom etc | 04:50 |
| itsux2bu | ok.. :/ | 04:50 |
| Jordan_U | Frankiitaa: Interesting, and "ls -l /dev/sr0"? | 04:50 |
| Wiesshund | itsux2bu take a look at it, takes alot of guesswork and typing out of the equation | 04:51 |
| [V13]Axel | itsux2bu: The easiest way to remember is that /mountpath is usually "/media/diskX" where X is a number. | 04:51 |
| jojojo | Axel am now downloading (activating) from Hardware Drivers "version current", the card is a nvidia 6800 gts pci-e | 04:51 |
| itsux2bu | i'm on a windows system.. i am going to reboot with my ubuntu .iso cd i created and do a alt-ctrl-f2 | 04:51 |
| Frankiitaa | jordan_u brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 11, 0 2010-08-02 22:21 /dev/sr0 | 04:51 |
| [V13]Axel | jojojo: Okay. What part of it isn't working? | 04:52 |
| Jordan_U | Frankiitaa: Ok, are you sure that you typed "sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt" correctly when you ran that command earlier? | 04:52 |
| [V13]Axel | itsux2bu: The easiest way is to boot from the LiveCD on a computer without a hard drive, and then install on the flash drive like you would any other drive. | 04:52 |
| ubuntu__ | For cloning my filesystem, would you guys suggest using GParted? | 04:52 |
| Frankiitaa | jordan_u i can try again | 04:53 |
| Frankiitaa | lets see | 04:53 |
| jojojo | i tried nvidia173 but when rebooting it has a prompt something about loading low graphics driver, or the nvidia driver dont work | 04:53 |
| itsux2bu | i can't remove the hard drives | 04:53 |
| Cocoabean | @ubuntu_ I would recommend using a block level tool to copy your partition to another drive, something like gnu ddrescue | 04:53 |
| JPeezy | Axel. it did not work | 04:53 |
| [V13]Axel | ubuntu__: The easiest tool I've ever found was 'Clonezilla." | 04:53 |
| [V13]Axel | JPeezy: Hmm. Sorry, that was the only thing I could think of. :/ | 04:53 |
| Wiesshund | itsux2bu you can disable hdd controller in bios usualy | 04:54 |
| JPeezy | good thought. thank you | 04:54 |
| elitexray | ubuntu_ are you as amazing as your name implies you to be?? | 04:54 |
| jojojo | will try this version current and see what happens, still downloading :D | 04:54 |
| Frankiitaa | jordan_u umount: /dev/sr0: dispositivo desconocido | 04:54 |
| [V13]Axel | jojojo: Then try with the new one and let me know. | 04:54 |
| jojojo | 32bit seems to be much easier to enable the nvidia173 | 04:55 |
| plustax | I just installed easytether with a .deb im running lucid lynx. Trying to tether my droid and I cant find the program anywhere even though I installed it. help? | 04:55 |
| dougb | does anyone else have issues with intel HDMI not working for audio? i have selected Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output and i can't hear anything | 04:55 |
| Cocoabean | @dougb: do you have audio in VLC by chance? | 04:56 |
| gduncan | dougb: could it be a drm issue with the monitor? | 04:56 |
| Frankiitaa | jordan_u dispositivi desconoido means unknow device | 04:56 |
| gduncan | Is it a TV or computer monitor? | 04:56 |
| eliezer | dougb install pulse audio equalizer and see ig u can get mor options | 04:56 |
| dougb | gduncan: tv | 04:56 |
| gduncan | Can you test by piping audio to the appropriate device? | 04:57 |
| Jordan_U | Frankiitaa: Does it work with normal CD's? Has it ever worked on this machine? | 04:58 |
| remu | Hey folks, quick question. I just installed Ubuntu 10.04. I am trying to have a skype conversation and run VLC at the same time, but I can't get audio out of VLC if I'm in a skype call. Does anyone know how to fix this? | 04:58 |
| Frankiitaa | jordan_u i installed ubuntu whit a cd | 04:58 |
| ubuntu__ | does anyone know of a way to monitor the progress of a GParted operation? Some log file I could view in the CL? | 04:59 |
| Fishscene | would dmsg have gparted info? | 04:59 |
| Jordan_U | Frankiitaa: Can you try inserting a normal data CD and if you can see the files on it pastebin the output of "mount"? | 04:59 |
| === ubuntu__ is now known as Colonel_Panic | ||
| gduncan | Fishscene: Unlikely. | 05:00 |
| dougb | Cocoabean: audio isn't working in vlc | 05:00 |
| gduncan | You probably have to start gparted with extra debugging. | 05:00 |
| picard1421 | hey guys | 05:00 |
| picard1421 | what is the XFCE login manager | 05:00 |
| Fishscene | ah- I was just throwing it out there because I just recently discovered dmesg, but I don't know it's scope yet. | 05:00 |
| picard1421 | like for example Gnome uses GDM what does XFCE use? | 05:00 |
| xangua | xdm | 05:01 |
| Frankiitaa | jordan_u what? i don t get it | 05:01 |
| gduncan | dmesg dumps the kernel ring buffer. You'll only find kernel messages | 05:02 |
| picard1421 | xdm? | 05:02 |
| picard1421 | kk thanks! | 05:02 |
| Fishscene | gotchya | 05:02 |
| gduncan | ANyone know what happened to /proc/bus/usb in 10.04? | 05:02 |
| Jordan_U | Frankiitaa: Try inserting a CD with data, like the Ubuntu install CD. If you can browse the files on that CD then running "mount" in a terminal will give information about how it was mounted, which will hopefully help us figure out how to mount your DVD. | 05:03 |
| dougb | eliezer: that tool shows audio is going out, but the TV hears nothing | 05:04 |
| Frankiitaa | jordan_u /dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro) | 05:04 |
| Frankiitaa | proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) | 05:04 |

| Niglop | when I x out xchat, it goes to tray for like 2 seconds and then closes? *tray always on is checked* | 05:05 |
| JPeezy | Does anyone know what files this "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" changes? | 05:05 |
| Frankiitaa | jordan_u what ? | 05:06 |
| JPeezy | yeah i might not have asked that right | 05:06 |
| itsux2bu | "fdisk /dev/sda" what does fdisk do? | 05:06 |
| remu | Hey, is there a reason why in Ubuntu 10.04 only one audio application runs at a time. | 05:06 |
| ThomasB2k | okay, i've downloaded TF2 in steam in ubuntu and I'm about to try it. wish me luck | 05:06 |
| eliezer | what about the monitor app ? | 05:07 |
| Jordan_U | Frankiitaa: When you paste multiple lines into the channel it causes a lot of scrolling, so you should use a service like pastebin instead where you can just post a link to the full output. | 05:07 |
| eliezer | that ubuntu have as default | 05:07 |
| nm5tf | !fdick | itsux2bu | 05:08 |
| Frankiitaa | Jordan_u and how i have to use that service ? | 05:08 |
| nm5tf | ! fdisk | itsux2bu | 05:09 |
| Wiesshund | !pastebin | Frankiitaa | 05:09 |

| vbnm | job | 05:09 |
| vbnm | vlc | 05:10 |
| eliezer | i wonder why when i use my girlfriend PC with her name real nice and look for help i get 25 people helping me and even off-topic chit-chat here | 05:10 |
| vbnm | ub | 05:10 |
| vbnm | guess | 05:10 |

| Wiesshund | eliezer because we then think your a fat 45 year old man living in his moms basement looking for attention? best answer i could create on short notice | 05:11 |
| nm5tf | !fdisk | itsux2bu | 05:11 |
| Niglop | when I x out xchat, it goes to tray for like 2 seconds and then closes? *tray always on is checked* | 05:11 |
| plustax | is anybody familiar with easytether? | 05:11 |
| Frankiitaa | jordan_u http://paste.ubuntu.com/472477/ | 05:12 |
| Wiesshund | Niglop is it close to tray or minimize to tray? | 05:12 |
| Frankiitaa | jordan_u is it right ? | 05:12 |
| Jordan_U | Frankiitaa: Yes. | 05:13 |
| Frankiitaa | jordan_u thanks | 05:13 |
| vbnm | yo | 05:13 |
| JPeezy | My GUI will not load, i hear the sound but no video. Video on initial startup. No Ubuntu load screen, just blinking line. Any suggestions on files to check? | 05:13 |
| Niglop | Wiesshund» I don't see no option like that, I just have 'enable system tray icon' checked. | 05:13 |
| eliezer | too bad,,im not 45,,not fat,,and independent and not looking for attention neigther,,im gona come up with a real nice name that make me get help | 05:13 |
| Wiesshund | Niglop it may be minimize to tray as opposed to clicking X. let me install it and see | 05:14 |
| Jordan_U | Frankiitaa: I don't see any CD listed there, do you have a data CD inserted currently? | 05:14 |
| Niglop | ok thankyou Wiesshund :) | 05:14 |
| Frankiitaa | yes | 05:14 |
| Frankiitaa | jodan_u yes the ubuntu install cd | 05:14 |
| wiesshund_ | Niglop>> ok let me restart it | 05:15 |
| Niglop | kk | 05:15 |
| wiesshund_ | Niglop>> i got your answer | 05:16 |
| Niglop | :D? | 05:16 |
| Niglop | what is it wiesshund_ | 05:16 |
| Wiesshund | When you first set it, and click X a dialog box pops up asking to minimize to tray or exit. if you clicked exit by mistake and told it never ask again, its exiting | 05:17 |
| AnonBoots | Hello. I am running apache on my computer, and I want to be able to get it a name server so I can associate it with a .co.cc address. Anyone have any help for this? | 05:17 |
| Niglop | I must have clicked x and never again :(? How can I get it back? | 05:17 |
| TheEskimo | AnonBoots: Find a dns registrar and buy one. This is not an ubuntu question. | 05:18 |
| Wiesshund | Niglop look in your home dir for .xchat directory or file, id guess your prefs are stored there. | 05:18 |
| wiesshund_ | Niglop its /home/you/.xchat2 | 05:19 |
| Sasha | HI !! How can i get my camara working guys,i got skype and it show me the cam but is not working | 05:19 |
| Niglop | ya which file wiesshund_ ? | 05:19 |
| TheEskimo | Niglop: It is easier to use ~/.xchat | 05:19 |
| coz_ | Sasha, you can try to install camorama or cheese to see if one of those picks up the camera | 05:20 |
| wiesshund_ | Niglop>> i would assume xchat.conf but i can look in it for you | 05:20 |
| Niglop | yes that would be helpfull wiesshund_ : | 05:20 |
| coz_ | Sasha, as far as skype...i cant help with that | 05:20 |
| Sasha | ok are those in software center ? | 05:20 |
| TheEskimo | wiesshund_: What is he trying to change? I have xchat.conf open | 05:20 |
| coz_ | Sasha, yes they are :) | 05:20 |
| Sasha | thanks | 05:20 |
| wiesshund_ | Niglop>> xchat.conf find word tray, reset them to 0 i believe | 05:21 |
| Niglop | KK im going to restart brb | 05:21 |
| wiesshund_ | TheEskimo>> he accidently told it to close on X and never ask again, rather than minimize to tray | 05:21 |
| TheEskimo | ah. thanks | 05:21 |
| Sasha | u see what im talking about,i just prove my point,,with a girl name i get a 3 second response for any question i make | 05:21 |
| Sasha | thats not good guys | 05:22 |
| coz_ | Sasha, :) | 05:22 |
| wiesshund_ | No eliez you got ignored by me, lol | 05:22 |
| Frankiitaa | no one knows? | 05:22 |
| TheEskimo | Frankiitaa: What is the question? (sorry, I missed it) | 05:23 |
| coz_ | Frankiitaa, sorry I didnt see the original issue | 05:23 |
| Sasha | thats not good for the community | 05:23 |
| JPeezy | If i wanted to replace some GUI startup files, what files might I be aiming for? | 05:23 |
| [jfcaron] | How do I turn off join/parts in empathy? | 05:23 |
| Niglop | Wiesshund» there is alot of tray's | 05:23 |
| Sasha | is like a monopoly | 05:23 |
| coz_ | JPeezy, like which ones? | 05:23 |
| wiesshund_ | Sasha ya make an ugly girl come back as yourself ;) | 05:23 |
| coz_ | Sasha, actually people seem to not answer if they dont the answers | 05:24 |
| TheEskimo | Sasha: #ubuntu is largely composed of males. We are volunteering. Sexism is expected to a degree really. The important bit here is that all help is voluntary so they can help anyone they choose | 05:24 |
| xomp | how do I change the password of my root account via SSH? | 05:24 |
| coz_ | Sasha, i dont find it leaning one way or the other ...male or female | 05:24 |
| Frankiitaa | my dvd drive is not reading anythin at all | 05:24 |
| coz_ | xomp, I dont know I am sure someone does but if not try the ##linux channel | 05:24 |
| wiesshund_ | Sasha>> you also had sasha ask a simple question, not one that requires any research | 05:24 |
| [jfcaron] | Isn't Sasha typically a man's name? | 05:24 |
| TheEskimo | Sasha: I try to be fair and answer what I know. I don't think many are (consciously at least), but whatever. | 05:24 |
| JPeezy | Well i ran the sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop command and after restart i get sound but no video after initial boot up screens | 05:25 |
| coz_ | Frankiitaa, ah oh.... when this start happening? | 05:25 |
| Sasha | i ask the same question not too long ago | 05:25 |
| Sasha | never got answer | 05:25 |
| Sasha | had to go look for it | 05:25 |
| Sasha | myself | 05:25 |
| coz_ | Sasha, probably because the people here did not know the answer | 05:25 |
| Frankiitaa | i m not sure | 05:25 |
| TheEskimo | Sasha: Probably noone noticed or it was too busy. I do not think this was a comprehensive test | 05:25 |
| Sasha | is ok | 05:25 |
| h00k | !patience | Sasha | 05:25 |
| ubottu | Sasha: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 05:25 |
| Sasha | is ok | 05:25 |
| Frankiitaa | i install ubuntu 10.04 a couple days ago | 05:25 |
| TheEskimo | Sasha: Also, it is important to note that looking for things is good. That is one way to learn more about ubuntu. Experimenting without help. | 05:26 |
| Frankiitaa | and to day i relaize it | 05:26 |
| TheEskimo | Frankiitaa: Can you post your fstab? or at least open it and check the dvd drive's line? | 05:26 |
| coz_ | Frankiitaa, mmm | 05:26 |
| Sasha | like is an easey OS to work with | 05:26 |
| Frankiitaa | how can i do that ? | 05:26 |
| Mr_Sonoma | having a little trouble with setting up msmtp, this is the config file aside from the password i've hashed out to post, what have i missed? getting a connection reset by peer error when trying to send from mutt. http://paste.ubuntu.com/472481/ | 05:26 |
| JPeezy | coz_: were you able to catch my explanation? | 05:27 |
| Sasha | i guess been a girl here is an advantage is all i said | 05:27 |
| coz_ | JPeezy, yes but let me scroll back a bit hold on | 05:27 |
| TheEskimo | Frankiitaa: It can be found at /etc/fstab | 05:27 |
| JPeezy | K thank you | 05:27 |
| Sasha | i got a 3 second response | 05:27 |
| wiesshund_ | elieze channel is kind of slow now, when you asked about webcam it was busy and i dont think you answered the guy who asked what kind of cam | 05:27 |
| Sasha | thats the best ever for ubuntu help | 05:27 |
| Sasha | ok | 05:27 |
| TheEskimo | Sasha: Please, if you have further questions ask. I believe that gender discussion is not relevant and has already been fully explored. | 05:28 |
| coz_ | JPeezy, and did you try a hard reboot to see if it works? | 05:28 |
| Sasha | enjoy the rest of the nigth guys | 05:28 |
| wiesshund_ | And i didnt answer you cause i cant make any of my cheap logitec ball cams work ;P | 05:28 |
| coz_ | Sasha, actually never assumed you were a woman | 05:28 |
| wiesshund_ | coz_>> he isnt lol | 05:28 |
| JPeezy | coz_: As in turning the machine off and on from the switch? then yes | 05:28 |
| coz_ | Sasha, I though sasha was both male and female | 05:28 |
| dreadazzy | i got a question if i may ask o-o; | 05:29 |
| coz_ | JPeezy, and still no video? | 05:29 |
| Frankiitaa | TheEskimo i go see it | 05:29 |
| coz_ | JPeezy, you mean you cant see the desktop at all? | 05:29 |
| JPeezy | That is correct. I can get into the Live CD ok. | 05:29 |
| TheEskimo | Frankiitaa: Do you mean you have found a line relating to your disk drive? | 05:29 |
| JPeezy | that is correct, no desktop. I hear the startup sounds though. | 05:29 |
| coz_ | JPeezy, ok and did you run the "Check cd" option from the live cd to be sure the cd itself is not corrupted?? | 05:29 |
| wiesshund_ | coz_>> that depends on where in the world you come from, some places sasha is only a female, others its almost the opposite. wierd huh | 05:30 |
| coz_ | Wiesshund, for sure thats why i didnt assume male or female ...actually i did assume male | 05:30 |
| wiesshund_ | Niglop>> is it working right now? | 05:30 |
| JPeezy | coz_: As in my installation is corrupt? | 05:30 |
| Sasha | i have more names want me to try another one,,have planty og questions too | 05:30 |
| Sasha | see how fast i get response | 05:30 |
| coz_ | JPeezy, no if the live cd is corrupt if it is then the install is also | 05:30 |
| Sasha | i timed too | 05:30 |
| Sasha | well i have to go | 05:31 |
| wiesshund_ | Sasha>> sure, join the channel as Virtual_Valerie hehe | 05:31 |
| Sasha | i prove my ponit | 05:31 |
| xangua | Sasha: stop that please | 05:31 |
| bazhang | !ot | Sasha lets move on | 05:31 |
| ubottu | Sasha lets move on: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 05:31 |
| Niglop | no wiesshund_ | 05:31 |
| Sasha | support--define that | 05:31 |
| Niglop | wiesshund_» there is lots of the word tray highlighted, i dont know which one to change | 05:31 |
| wiesshund_ | Niglop>> ok rename that file. to back it up. and restart xchat | 05:32 |
| JPeezy | coz_: I have not checked the live cd. i am currently using it on my windows laptop to talk to you | 05:32 |
| wiesshund_ | gui_tray Niglop | 05:32 |
| coz_ | JPeezy, understood... but at some point you need to run the check cd option on the live cd to be sure | 05:32 |
| Niglop | ok i will try wiesshund_ | 05:32 |
| Niglop | brb | 05:32 |
| coz_ | JPeezy, if the cd is in fact having errors then you need to redownload the iso image.. and burn it at the slowest speed 1x preferred | 05:33 |
| JPeezy | ok i will. it was only after running that command it happened. it did not even get to the command promt | 05:33 |
| coz_ | JPeezy, oooo | 05:33 |
| Colonel_Panic | yawn.... GParted is taking forever and I don't see anything that looks like it in 'top' or system monitor :/ how do I ensure it's doing what it says it is? | 05:34 |
| JPeezy | that info changes your mind? | 05:34 |
| Niglop | ok Wiesshund set gui_tray to 0? | 05:34 |
| coz_ | JPeezy, if you mean sudo /etc/ init.d/gdm stop command and then sudo restart gdm those commands should not cuase any issues that were not there previously | 05:34 |
| wiesshund_ | Niglop>> gui_tray and gui_trayflags | 05:34 |
| Niglop | kk brb | 05:35 |
| wiesshund_ | Niglop>> that should let you repick the option and get the popup again | 05:35 |
| JPeezy | coz_: hmm, ok so by using the command i just gave the problem a little push? | 05:35 |
| HeadAche | col panic, i use htop | 05:36 |
| coz_ | JPeezy, probably my guess is something became "dislodged" :) somehow and the restart gdm just apmplified it | 05:36 |
| coz_ | htop is very cool | 05:36 |
| coz_ | JPeezy, it is always a good idea to check the md5sum of the iso image before burning it also | 05:37 |
| gwildor | hello, anyone around to help with ICS without losing host capabilities? | 05:37 |
| JPeezy | coz_: im just suspicious that it wasnt me that caused this. i was messing with the display drivers trying to get compiz working | 05:37 |
| coz_ | JPeezy, oooooo then it may have been that | 05:37 |
| coz_ | JPeezy, which video card do you have on that machine? | 05:37 |
| charley__ | anyone knows if i can make windows forms in monodevelop? | 05:38 |
| JPeezy | Nvidia geforce 5200 | 05:38 |
| Niglop | Wiesshund» no luck. | 05:39 |
| JPeezy | its old | 05:39 |
| coz_ | charley__, I do no but if no one here does you can try ##linux channel ...they have a broader base of info | 05:39 |
| coz_ | JPeezy, yes that is the "lowest" card that can handle compiz | 05:39 |
| wiesshund_ | Niglop>> ok rename that file then so xchat wont use it and retry | 05:39 |
| coz_ | JPeezy, you may not be able to use all of the plugins available | 05:39 |
| Niglop | kk | 05:39 |
| charley__ | coz_: thx | 05:39 |
| coz_ | JPeezy, but it should work | 05:39 |
| coz_ | charley__, no problem | 05:39 |
| JPeezy | i should have just left it well enough alone | 05:39 |
| HeadAche | how can i figure out (if) where my raid card has mounted it's array? ...i see a scsi7 associated with the card in dmesg, but I dont see anything like ~'sda2' :( | 05:40 |
| coz_ | JPeezy, was it working? | 05:40 |
| Colonel_Panic | HeadAche: Thanks, this is a great program! | 05:40 |
| JPeezy | compiz? no. the ubuntu install, yes, it worked well | 05:40 |
| coz_ | JPeezy, then yes you should have joined me in #compiz and we may have gotten it to speed up slightly with disabling some plugins and compiz settings if it was in fact working | 05:40 |
| coz_ | JPeezy, oh ok | 05:40 |
| HeadAche | :) any time col panic | 05:40 |
| Niglop | Wiesshund» no luck. | 05:41 |
| coz_ | JPeezy, well then if this was a fresh install then reinstall it | 05:41 |
| wiesshund_ | Niglop>> you changed that file and restarted xchat? | 05:41 |
| Niglop | yeah wiesshund_ | 05:41 |
| wiesshund_ | Niglop>> i mean changed the name of it | 05:41 |
| coz_ | JPeezy, then come to #compiz channel and we can talk there to get compiz hopefully running on that card | 05:41 |
| Niglop | yeah wiesshund_ i did | 05:42 |
| fatum | How can I make a bootable USB flash drive? | 05:42 |
| JPeezy | it was fresh-ish. i had set up a fair amount of stuff, and im just trying to save that time.... i guess i will bite the bullet and reinstall | 05:42 |
| bazhang | fatum, with unetbootin | 05:42 |
| coz_ | ok guys I am breaking for the night ..it is nearly 1am here so thats it for me :) | 05:42 |

| wiesshund_ | Niglop>> define no luck. after you restart exactly what are you doing? | 05:47 |
| Niglop | wiesshund_» I did sudo killall xchat, then went back to applications menu> xchat, reconnected. when I try to close it again it does the original error and doesn't sit in tray. | 05:48 |
| wiesshund_ | Niglop>> its no longer set to try | 05:48 |
| Niglop | i dont get what you mean =\ ? | 05:49 |
| wiesshund_ | unless you went and reset it (the tray option) its now set to just close normal | 05:49 |
| wiesshund_ | now if you go to prefs and pick to run in tray, you should get dialog box again | 05:49 |

| Niglop | there is no dialog box :s? | 05:51 |
| wiesshund_ | tray in now 0 meaning off | 05:51 |
| wiesshund_ | now go into the same place in xchats settings that you turned tray on before and turn tray back on and try to close it | 05:51 |

| picard1421 | hey guys i did sudo apt-get install xdm on Karmic.. | 05:58 |
| picard1421 | but for some reason when i boot up it does not go to XDM?? | 05:59 |
| mikeru | picard1421: sudo apt-get remove gdm ? | 05:59 |
| wiesshund_ | Niglop you may try renaming the folder .xchat2 but i personaly see no other files in it that store that kind of config | 05:59 |
| mikeru | WHY would you want xdm? | 05:59 |
| picard1421 | i just have | 05:59 |
| picard1421 | server edition installed mikeru | 05:59 |
| picard1421 | i wanted to install xdm | 05:59 |
| mikeru | ah! | 05:59 |
| picard1421 | for gui login | 05:59 |
| picard1421 | and i installed xserver with | 05:59 |
| picard1421 | apt-get install xinit and also apt-get install xdm | 05:59 |
| picard1421 | and when i boot up nothing happens? | 06:00 |
| FloodBot2 | picard1421: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:00 |
| mikeru | picard1421: maybe because... it's a server install ? | 06:00 |
| picard1421 | well with X installed it should not matter lol (; | 06:00 |
| mikeru | for it to default to gui login, you have to install *ubuntu-desktop | 06:00 |
| Colonel_Panic | hmmmm I used 'resize partition' in GParted and it's taking forever! I understand moving data can be time consuming but the odd thing is, I shrunk the partition from the end, where no data was, so nothing should have to be moved right? (there was free space between the resized partition and the next so it's not that subsequent partitions are getting moved) | 06:00 |
| picard1421 | i typed in startx and still nothing happens??Z?Z?Z | 06:00 |
| mikeru | picard1421: you want a desktop environment? | 06:00 |
| mikeru | picard1421: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop will install GNOME. kubuntu-desktop kde, you can figure the rest | 06:01 |
| picard1421 | i dont want a desktop enviornment though | 06:01 |
| picard1421 | all i want | 06:01 |
| picard1421 | is a GUI login | 06:01 |
| vbnm | disk defrag ment for ubuntu | 06:01 |
| picard1421 | and then go to DWM | 06:01 |

| picard1421 | Display window manager | 06:02 |
| mikeru | picard1421: me not know then :) | 06:02 |
| picard1421 | not a big deal.. basically i all i want to do is have a GUI login with a CLI interface.. yes it a weird request.. but its still what i want lol.. I want to use something that is compatible with the GDM | 06:02 |
| picard1421 | so i wanted to use XDM | 06:02 |

| comron | xangua: E: Sub-process returned an error code when I run sudo apt-get update | 06:28 |
| comron | xangua: seems like almost anything i do with apt-get i get that error | 06:28 |
| picard1421 | ok ? | 06:28 |

| HeadAche | installed 10.04 fine. now i need to get the raid card recognized. found the card in the dmesg, but it's listed as scsi7.. when i was expecting it to have like a sda1 or something. does that mean the bios sees it but a driver has not been loaded, or...? | 06:29 |
| wiesshund_ | If it is getting it, after its done you should be able to startx | 06:29 |

| ActionParsnip | !keyboard | 06:35 |
| ubottu | To switch your keyboard layout on GNOME: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard (GNOME) - KDE: K -> System Settings -> Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout (KDE) - Xfce: see https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/switch-keyboard-layout.html - See also !Shortcuts | 06:35 |
| ActionParsnip | !shortcuts | 06:35 |
| ubottu | Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts | 06:35 |
| comron | tim: OK, i'll take a look. Thanks. | 06:35 |
| jerald | ubottu, okay..sorry newbie here.. I am using ubuntu 10.04 lucid.. I installed this Ubuntu as wubi.. and now I can't hear a sound.. I tried installing hardwares but it still don't work | 06:35 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 06:35 |
| ActionParsnip | wrektjet: the shortcuts factoid is what you need ^ | 06:36 |
| HeadAche | help please...-> installed 10.04 fine. now i need to get the raid card recognized. found the card in the dmesg, but it's listed as scsi7.. when i was expecting it to have like a sda1 or something. does that mean the bios sees it but a driver has not been loaded, or...? | 06:36 |
| ActionParsnip | jerald: ok what is the product line in the output of: sudo lshw -C sound | 06:36 |
| IdleOne | dhanuu: stop your trolling now | 06:36 |
| tim | comron: I think the problem is your package installer (apt-get / aptitude / synaptic / software center) can't connect to the ec2 cloud and needs to be set to a main Ubuntu server. | 06:36 |
| comron | tim: are priorities built into apt-get? meaning does it make a difference if i use 'backports' will apt-get give me a supported package before an unsupported one? | 06:37 |
| jerald | ActionParsnip, hold on.. can you give me the link where I will paste the output? | 06:37 |
| ActionParsnip | HeadAche: dmesg will find everything by default. Doesn't mean its configured | 06:37 |

| ActionParsnip | jerald: ok is the system a laptop? | 06:39 |
| ActionParsnip | jerald: the product line you can see, just read your pastebin | 06:39 |
| jerald | ActionParsnip, It's a desktop | 06:39 |

| jerald | ActionParsnip, you mean this one? VT1708/A [Azalia HDAC] (VIA High Definition Audio Controller) | 06:40 |
| tim | comron: I don't think the official Ubuntu packages will overlap. If you install someone's PPA or a separate package, you might encounter difficulties. | 06:40 |
| jerald | ActionParsnip, it's homebuild | 06:40 |
| ActionParsnip | jerald: exactly. Websearch for that to find guides | 06:40 |
| comron | tim: ok. | 06:40 |
| jerald | ActionParsnip, thanks.. I'll look for it.. I'll be back if I can't find one | 06:41 |
| ActionParsnip | jerald: brands help but now you know your sound chip and can find guides | 06:41 |
| tim | comron: IMHO, I wouldn't edit the sources.list file manually. I always use synaptic for my packages. | 06:41 |

| xae8koo | Hello | 07:20 |
| xTheGoat121x | I'm trying to share my wireless card via ethernet to a WinXP machine... last time I did this it worked no problem, but no I just get limited connectivity | 07:20 |
| BeeBuu | rdw200169: i don't know how to do | 07:20 |
| arooni-mobile | tim, i already did thagt | 07:20 |
| w_ | >.> | 07:20 |
| xae8koo | I thougth I had an older version of Ubuntu, turns out I have Lucid Lynx :S | 07:20 |
| cmwslw | as a followup on my problem, it seems the script i use does some checking on /bin/sh | 07:20 |
| tim | arooni-mobile: Sorry... I've got nothing... | 07:21 |
| rdw200169 | BeeBuu: i agree with TuxSax, its also possible, considering that there are so many serial interfaces, that your mobo is using multiple chipsets to control them all. perhaps ubuntu can recognize some, but not all, the serial interfaces. check dmesg/syslog for signs of issues. | 07:21 |
| cmwslw | can i temporarily link /bin/sh to /bin/dash just to run this script? | 07:21 |
| tensorpudding | sh is a link to dash by default | 07:21 |
| cmwslw | oops i mean /bin/dash | 07:21 |
| cmwslw | gah bash | 07:21 |
| BeeBuu | rdw200169: en.. let me check the syslog | 07:21 |
| BeeBuu | brb | 07:22 |
| tensorpudding | if it claims to use #!/bin/sh, but requires bash, then whoever wrote the script should be hit | 07:22 |
| dhanesh | tim:are you there | 07:22 |
| KE1HA | tey a dmesg | grep tty and see what's happening with the ports, then setserial -g /dev/ttyS[01234] to set them up. | 07:22 |
| tim | dhanesh: Yes. What. | 07:22 |
| cmwslw | tensorpudding: its this stupid installanywhere script | 07:22 |
| BeeBuu | KE1HA: thanks | 07:22 |
| tensorpudding | you can replace the #!/bin/sh with #!/bin/bash | 07:23 |
| tensorpudding | that should work | 07:23 |
| dhanesh | im:tv tuner card can be worked in ubuntu | 07:23 |
| dhanesh | tim:tv tuner card can be worked in ubuntu | 07:23 |
| tensorpudding | if it calls sh inside the script, replace all instances of sh with bash | 07:23 |
| BeeBuu | KE1HA: setseial can set the port up? | 07:23 |
| tensorpudding | using a text editor, sed, or whatever regex-based thing you prefer | 07:23 |
| dhanesh | tim:tv tuner card can be worked in ubuntu | 07:23 |
| KE1HA | setserial is a program designed to set and/or report the configuration information associated with a serial port. | 07:24 |
| cmwslw | tensorpudding: i could do that but i'd rather not mess with the script | 07:24 |
| dhanesh | pixelview is my tv card | 07:24 |
| cmwslw | but i will if i can't change what /bin/sh links to temporarily | 07:24 |
| tensorpudding | you can delete /bin/sh, then recreate it as a symlink to bash, but that's kinda gross | 07:24 |
| tim | dhanesh: I don't understand you... I'm sorry. Could you rephrase that? | 07:25 |
| dhanesh | tim:i have tv tuner card.will it works on ubuntu.it works inwin xp | 07:25 |

| KE1HA | BeeBuu, I would say, yes, that's an issue. | 07:31 |
| BeeBuu | KE1HA: Oh,how can i fix it? | 07:31 |
| KE1HA | BeeBuu, Like what was said earlier, start with your BIOS and make sure you have your IRQ's in order and they are all enabled then use app like minicom to test each one. | 07:32 |
| KE1HA | BeeBuu, Im assuming these are all physical COM ports, not USB-COM ports ? | 07:33 |
| BeeBuu | KE1HA: i did | 07:33 |
| BeeBuu | my port are: port1-Address:3F8/IRQ4 port2-2F8/IRQ4 port3-3E8/IRQ11 port4-2D8/IRQ10 port5-2f0/IRQ11 port6-2e0/IrQ10 | 07:35 |

| helpmeeee | but WUBI is my default boot and im not really that good at computer tech stuff... so i dont know what to do | 07:47 |
| comron | tim: http://paste.ubuntu.com/472528/ | 07:48 |
| KE1HA | BeeBuu, here's why I say this, in the kernel config there a line: The kernel configuration parameters: CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS=4 I think that's the default and possibly your porble. | 07:48 |
| KE1HA | BeeBuu, CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS=4 set the maximum number of ordinary serial ports (UARTs) equal to 4 | 07:49 |
| comron | tim: is there anyway to get more verbose output from apt-get? | 07:49 |
| mikeru | hey | 07:50 |
| tim | comron: Maybe try adding "-V" to the end of your apt-get command | 07:50 |

| comron | tim: no matter what i do to my sources.list I get this error. I've removed multiverse, I've used us.archive. | 07:52 |
| tim | comron: That's what I was going to suggest... | 07:53 |
| KE1HA | BeeBuu, A workaround to recompiling the Kernel would be: You may override this via the kernel command line for example: nr_uarts=16 (if serial support built into the kernel) or 8250.nr_uarts=16 (if serial support is via a module). The boot loader (grub) can be told to do this. | 07:53 |
| comron | tim: i even removed everything but the main line. same error | 07:53 |

| blitzo | how do you control what services will start on boot | 07:58 |
| tensorpudding | blitzo: ubuntu uses upstart for that | 07:58 |
| tensorpudding | !upstart | 07:58 |
| ubottu | Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 07:58 |
| BeeBuu | KE1HA: ls /dev/ttyS? get ttyS0~ ttyS3 | 07:58 |
| KE1HA | BeeBuu, No worries, read my posts up a bit. | 07:58 |
| blitzo | tensorpudding, tell me HOW to do that? | 07:58 |
| KE1HA | BeeBuu, I think the kernel is limiting you COM ports to 4. | 07:58 |
| Sandking | KE1HA: you're full time here? :] | 07:59 |
| BeeBuu | KE1HA: so i need build my own kernel? | 07:59 |
| blitzo | how do I configure what services will run on boot? | 07:59 |
| tim | comron: Have you tried contacting the devs for your AMI? | 07:59 |
| comron | Its a Ubuntu AMI :) | 08:00 |
| comron | like an official one :) | 08:00 |
| KE1HA | BeeBuu, not full-time no, but I spend a fair amount of time here, and on Launchpad Docs, Bugs and Questons. I would look into passing a Kernel command in Grub forst, then if that fixes it, re-compile the kernel. | 08:00 |
| tensorpudding | blitzo: I think the old sysv-rc-conf tool still works | 08:00 |
| comron | tim: I'll keep trying some stuff out | 08:00 |
| tensorpudding | I honestly don't know entirely what upstart is supposed to do | 08:00 |
| tim | comron: Best of luck! | 08:01 |
| tensorpudding | it has its own scripts but supports using system v's scripts | 08:01 |
| KE1HA | One way to tell fer sure, it to a test kernel build, but dont make it, just get to the kernel config portion, and look at the URAT values. | 08:01 |
| === zz_thyri0n is now known as thyri0n | ||
| BeeBuu | KE1HA: which part message i need change? i only tried running "make menuconfig" | 08:01 |

| KE1HA | Whoops ... That's where you want to be .. .. | 08:02 |
| blitzo | tensorpudding, i have been asking this question for weeks and no one has yet to give a definitive answer - ppl say "upstart does that" yeah i know, or they say "i think this tool might" - like they don't know? controlling services is at the heart of unix configirability and NOBODY KNOWS??? | 08:02 |
| KE1HA | BeeBuu, Goe by this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile#AltBuildMethod | 08:03 |
| helpmeeee | I've been looking around the web for a way to get windows xp as my default and its says to change a line in this file /boot/grub/menu.lst but i cant find it..? | 08:03 |
| KE1HA | BeeBuu, then at the menu-config, choose the xconfig for GUI type menu | 08:03 |
| comron | tim: so with a "fresh install" of the AMI, apt-get update works fine. | 08:04 |
| BeeBuu | KE1HA: xconfig? | 08:04 |
| comron | tim: i'll see what step it starts failing at | 08:04 |
| tim | comron: Yay! | 08:04 |
| Chousuke | blitzo: since upstart handles starting services nowadays, you need to go read upstart's documentation | 08:04 |
| tensorpudding | I don't know why Ubuntu uses upstart but still uses the old System V initscripts | 08:05 |
| KE1HA | BeeBuu, Yes, instead of menuconfig do "make xconfig" | 08:05 |
| tensorpudding | presumably because most all software outside of that sphere is only aware of System V | 08:05 |
| KE1HA | BeeBuu, that's an easier menu to navigate the Kernel options. | 08:05 |
| BeeBuu | KE1HA: i tring.. | 08:05 |
| Chousuke | tensorpudding: the initscripts are transitional. They're supposed to go away eventually | 08:05 |
| tensorpudding | Personally, I hated System V init, and have always favored BSD init | 08:06 |
| Chaorain | HEy, I have a dual boot computer and Windows is freaking out over a legit program that it thinks is a virus, long story short I need to run a .bat file, Can I do this from within Ubuntu? | 08:06 |
| blitzo | Chousuke, that is a cop-out answer - the real answer is there is NO way for the end user to control what starts and stops except by installing and uninstall packages | 08:06 |
| KE1HA | BeeBuu, you need to follow the How-Too as there's qt packages needed for "make xconfig" that aren't needed for menuconfig. | 08:06 |
| Chousuke | blitzo: eh, that's just not true. | 08:06 |
| Chousuke | blitzo: if there were no way to control these things, then upstart obviously wouldn't work. :P | 08:06 |
| BeeBuu | KE1HA: thanks.i just got error message. | 08:06 |
| tensorpudding | I wonder if not providing the rc.X functionality is a violation of some sort of standards compliance | 08:07 |

| BeeBuu | ? | 08:07 |
| === thyri0n is now known as zz_thyri0n | ||
| Chousuke | tensorpudding: LSB requires sysV init I think | 08:07 |
| blitzo | Chousuke, i have read the docs - they explain how to write a control file and what directories the files are in - there is no tool for starting and stopping services, you have to know the system and know what files to delete or rename - it is fairly complicated and only an experienced sysadmin is gonna be able to figure it out - this is beyond ridiculous | 08:08 |
| tensorpudding | so will Ubuntu violate LSB if it removes it? | 08:08 |
| KE1HA | The number of URAT ports. BeeBuu be carful with all this, you can Brick your system if you do this incorrectly. | 08:08 |

| BeeBuu | KE1HA: i wonder is the linux-rt has not this limits? | 08:09 |

| enzy | razer | 08:10 |
| tensorpudding | blitzo: you can use sysv-rc-conf to edit the /etc/rcX.d/ files | 08:10 |
| tensorpudding | so long as Ubuntu supports the old sysv init that will work | 08:10 |
| Chousuke | tensorpudding: that won't work for services that use native upstart configs | 08:10 |
| blitzo | tensorpudding, ubuntu uses both the new upstart and the old sysv, that does the old sysv but not the new upstart | 08:11 |
| Chousuke | blitzo: it seems upstart makes this fairly complicated. it seems you can't avoid editing config files. | 08:11 |
| tensorpudding | It sounds like upstart was a dumb idea. | 08:11 |
| Chousuke | It's probably not a dumb idea, just a dumb implementation | 08:12 |
| blitzo | tensorpudding, changing HALFWAY and with no configuration tools really means it is beyond stupid to use ubuntu for a server | 08:12 |
| Chousuke | systemd is another new init system, recently introduced in Fedora 14 I think? or was it rawhide | 08:12 |
| Chousuke | it seems very interensting. | 08:12 |
| Chousuke | blitzo: there's no other way that to change "halfway" | 08:13 |
| tensorpudding | I still don't find it more compelling than BSD's rc | 08:13 |
| blitzo | tensorpudding, ubuntu is not suited for commercial applications because of this | 08:13 |
| KE1HA | BeeBuu, You could also edit Grun menu.1st file and pass a paremeter like so: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32.24-686 root=/dev/sda2 ro 8250.nr_uarts=5 | 08:13 |
| KE1HA | with the important part ing the ro 8280.nt_urats=5 | 08:13 |
| Chousuke | blitzo: It's not like sysv is still installed. upstart is all that is used, it just still supports the old init scripts. | 08:13 |
| BeeBuu | KE1HA: after i build own kernel? | 08:14 |
| tensorpudding | Having all the distros use different tools is a bit of a pain | 08:14 |
| blitzo | Chousuke, some services are in init.d, some are in init, there is no way to control the ones in init but to DELETE them | 08:14 |
| KE1HA | BeeBuu, here a discussion on doing this without re-compiling the kernel. Read the whole Thread: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=440807 | 08:14 |
| BeeBuu | KE1HA: or just now? with default one? | 08:14 |
| Chousuke | blitzo: or you can edit their configs so that they don't start. | 08:14 |
| KE1HA | although it's an older thread, would still apply. yes with current Kernel. | 08:15 |

| ubottu | Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 08:21 |
| Chousuke | Compared to systemd, it is. | 08:21 |
| Chousuke | but it can't be compared to sysv init because it does many things sysv init simply can't. | 08:22 |

| saganbyte | SwedeMike, Okay I read up that, but it talks about circumventing th limitation by using the multi-extent (fragmentation) feature of ISO 9660 Level 3 | 08:23 |

| BentFranklin | Just sitting here tonight, a monitor on one of my ubuntu machines that has sat idle for a couple of days just turned on. No idea why. Ran ps aux and there was "/usr/sbin/packa" and /bin/bash. The only thing that matches the first one is packagekitd. Anh idea wht that would run and why would it make my monitor think there is activity? | 08:25 |
| BeeBuu | KE1HA: thanks for your help | 08:25 |

| DiploCat | AviMarcus|, are you cards being recognised at all? in a terminal try: lspci - are they listed? and if so, what info do you get from: ifconfig ? | 08:35 |
| big | hi! Beebuu | 08:35 |
| blitzo | Chousuke, that is beyond stupid | 08:35 |
| BeeBuu | big:guten tag. | 08:36 |
| KE1HA | BeeBuu, You'd have to install setserial I think, minicomm is probably a better option. | 08:36 |
| blitzo | Chousuke, it is an enormous security hole - if someone sets a job to run on boot that shouldn't be the sysadmin has no way to detect it | 08:37 |
| KE1HA | BeeBuu, but anythign you have that is true serial can be used to test them. | 08:37 |

| frxstrem | can Ubuntu handle multiple network connections (such as an ethernet connection and a wireless connected) properly? so that for instace if some host cannot be reached through the ethernet connection, it would try with the wireless connection (unlike what does now)? | 09:05 |
| drygrain | yes frxstrem | 09:06 |
| KE1HA | AviMarcus|, if the ndiswrapper / modprobe works, you may want to add ndiswrapper to /etc/modules so it cranks up at boot properly. | 09:06 |

| liberan | one short question: is http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ supported by ubuntu community or would you recommend or not to install it | 10:35 |
| AviMarcus | hey. I have 2 screens, and the "spare" is on the left. ubuntu correctly puts the panels and stuff on my LCD, but new windows tend to pop up on that spare screen, which isn't always on. Where can I fix that? | 10:37 |
| rdw200169 | liberan: your mileage will vary depending on how 'supported' you would like it to be. in a nutshell, it will probably never be included in the main repository | 10:37 |
| liberan | im just semi newb who doesnt want to mess with terminal or editing textual files in it, for now at least | 10:38 |
| rdw200169 | liberan: regardless, it is generally well-liked among ubuntu users and tends to make otherwise difficult (but occasionally necessary) steps a little easier for the user | 10:38 |
| liberan | just wanted to know will i compromise system security and stability with it | 10:38 |
| bullgard4 | [solved] | 10:39 |
| ilovefairuz | jon__: dpkg --listfiles dovecot-common | 10:39 |
| Jordan_U | glaucous: Then it's pretty simple. You boot to a LiveCD and resize your first partition "from the left" to make room for a small (100 to 500 meg) ext3/4 partition at the beginning of the disk. Then copy all of the files from /boot to the new partition and setup this new partition in the fstab to be mounted to /boot. Finally boot into the system and run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc -pcritical" | 10:39 |
| jon__ | ilovefairuz: long list of filenames, need me to pastebin? | 10:39 |

I'm having problems executing hpacucli in ubuntu server 10.04 64bit ( $HPACUCLI_BIN_INSTALLATION_DIR.hpacucli $* >>> ./hpacucli: line 17: /opt/compaq/hpacucli/bld/.hpacucli: No such file or directory ) and I think it has to do with Ubuntu switching to dash as this same software works fine in Debian Testing... Any ideas? | 10:54 |
| erUSUL | DGnome: run the scripts with bash then | 10:54 |
| Lcawte | [10:49:58] <Lcawte> Hm, anyone know where I can find / ask about the timescale of the latest ZNC stable being packaged for ubuntu? | 10:54 |
| DGnome | erUSUL: like this? /bin/bash ./hpacucli | 10:55 |
| erUSUL | DGnome: if that's the shell script yes | 10:56 |
| Jordan_U | DGnome: Any script that begins with #!/bin/sh and doesn't actually work with posix sh is broken. Fix the first line to read #!/bin/bash instead. | 10:56 |
| Jordan_U | DGnome: If that fixes things then also file a bug report with the author of the script. | 10:56 |
| DGnome | Jordan_U: nope, didnt fix it | 10:57 |
| TiK | DGnome: whats the script do? | 10:57 |
| DGnome | TiK: HP P400 Raid CLI | 10:57 |
| Jordan_U | DGnome: Then the problem is not caused by Ubuntu using dash for /bin/sh :) | 10:57 |
| DGnome | TiK: and other controllers | 10:57 |
| DGnome | Jordan_U: allrighty then | 10:58 |
| Jordan_U | DGnome: Can you pastebin the script? | 10:58 |
| TiK | DGnome: uhm is there a dir called /opt/compaq/hpacucli/bld/.hpacucli ? | 10:58 |
| TiK | DGnome: maybe if you creat the dir it might run | 10:58 |
| TiK | or something | 10:59 |
| TiK | ls -la /opt/compaq/hpacucli/bld/.hpacucli | 10:59 |
| DGnome | TiK: .hpacucli is the actual binary, hpacucli is a wrapper script | 10:59 |

| mcnellis | so I dont' have to do mv ./*.swp ./temp && mv ./*/*.swp ./temp && mv ./*/*/*.swp ./temp && etc... | 11:14 |
| tesuji | mcnellis, you would have to use find or a shell script | 11:15 |
| erUSUL | tesuji: use Synaptic if you want more info. not easy though... you discover things with time using the system | 11:15 |
| SteelWing | erUSUL: I know, "sudo make uninstall" but that didn't help. | 11:15 |
| tesuji | mcnellis, do you mean you need to delete them? once moved they don't work | 11:15 |
| erUSUL | tesuji: or when a need arises a little of googling | 11:15 |
| mcnellis | yeah | 11:15 |
| tesuji | erUSUL, is there a way to get a list for the repos? | 11:15 |
| SteelWing | erUSUl: Not to mention that package manager still shows a lot of glib 2.0 packages still installed... | 11:16 |

| jon__ | TiK: now its kind of in a mess i dont know how to get it back | 11:18 |
| mcnellis | tesuji: what is the best way to properly dispose of them?/ | 11:18 |
| mcnellis | tesuji: I have many of them from vim sessions. Not sure why they remain | 11:19 |
| alket | Is there something like AptOnCD but for USB ? | 11:19 |
| TiK | jon__: define "mess" | 11:19 |
| jon__ | TiK: I can't start mysqld | 11:20 |
| tesuji | mcnellis, .swp files exist while a file is being edited by vi - they disappear when the session ends - if a .swp exists it means either the file is still being edited of the vi session was discontinued abruptly (system rebooted during edit, for example) so why do you want to remove them, what's going on? | 11:20 |
| Ileden | Hi! Any ideas why has my computer become unbearably laggy after upgrading to 10.04? I thought it was about video card because of some issues with it, but now I've even changed that and it's still laggy! Everything was working ok and very fast on 9.04. How to debug this? | 11:20 |

| tesuji | mcnellis, i do not know what you mean by 'upload directories' | 11:22 |
| SteelWing | I have a problem: http://pastebin.com/d0EC2hgC | 11:23 |
| mcnellis | I'm working on a project. I uploaded my project folder to the webserver. Should I delete the project on my webserver, close vim, and then reupload my files? | 11:23 |
| mcnellis | tesuji: ^ | 11:23 |
| tesuji | mcnellis, you want to close your vim session before moving the directories around else the .swp files will go too, and then when you vi on the server you have an exiting .swp file and vi gets confused | 11:24 |
| === zz_thyri0n is now known as thyri0n | ||
| tesuji | mcnellis, where vim puts the .swp files is configurable i believe, you could cause them to be created outside your workspace | 11:25 |
| jon__ | any help? | 11:25 |
| glaucous | Anyone know of a calendar-program which features notifications (popups)? | 11:25 |
| mcnellis | tesuji: if I save my vim session does it persist the .swp files? | 11:25 |
| === david is now known as Guest54379 | ||
| tesuji | mcnellis, .swp files are removed when the session is closed | 11:25 |
| tesuji | mcnellis, the existence of a .swp file usually means either the file is being edited or the session terminated abnormally (hence the file needs to be recovered) | 11:26 |
| tesuji | mcnellis, i can't tell you what you should do with them but i can explain how they work so you can make appropriate decision whether to delete them | 11:27 |
| tesuji | mcnellis, i will tell you not to run that find command unless you know what you're doing - deleting .swp files while the file is being edited may trash your file | 11:29 |
| guzu | i have a small VIDEO_TS directory, how can i create a dvd from it? | 11:30 |
| mcnellis | yeah it's cool tesuji most of them went away when i close the session | 11:30 |
| mcnellis | had a few that dated back to weeks ago so i just deleted those | 11:30 |
| ddavids | ilovefairuz: thanks, it worked | 11:31 |
| mcnellis | i had a basic understanding what they were i jsut didn't know how to properly dispose fo them which is why i wnated to move them ( move them and see how the environment reacted after they were gone and if it was bad I could mv them back) | 11:31 |
| mcnellis | anyway tesuji thanks for the help | 11:31 |
| mcnellis | different question: How can I change the user and group of files easily in ubuntu without opening a terminal e.g. when I have nautilus open | 11:32 |
| mcnellis | or is root the only user that can chgrp and chown things? a user can't chown a file away from himself unless he is root? | 11:33 |
| guntbert | mcnellis: yes, only root can do that (use sudo/gksudo) | 11:34 |
| Jordan_U | mcnellis: Correct. A normal user can chgrp a file they own, but cannot chown any file. | 11:34 |

| Jordan_U | blah_sphemer: Boot from the internal by selecting it in the BIOS, grub should load. Boot Ubuntu and run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" to configure the grub pacakge to install to the external rather than the internal drive (Select only your external drive and *no* partitions). | 11:39 |
| tesuji | mcnellis, either close your vim sessions or package up everything but the .swp files to move | 11:39 |
| tesuji | mcnellis, better to close your vims | 11:39 |

Freenode webchat doesn't even work at all. How can I fix this? Disabling ipv6 didn't help. Karmic had the same problem, but eventually a fix was released (actually ridiculously too late!). Jaunty was just fine. | 11:55 |
| Halabund | Windows XP is also just fine. | 11:56 |
| Jordan_U | _raven_: You're welcome. | 11:56 |
| Jordan_U | blah_sphemer: Boot a LiveCD. | 11:56 |
| tesuji | Halabund, are you using dhcp to get your nameservers? | 11:56 |
| soreau | Halabund: Is the karmic fix the same problem as lucid? if so file a bug | 11:56 |
| Halabund | this is one of the main reason I can rarely use Ubuntu with this connection (over which I have no control, it's what the uni provides, both at home & work) | 11:56 |
| blah_sphemer | Jordan_U, and then run the commands on the link you gave me? | 11:56 |
| soreau | Halabund: Also which nameserver are you using? cat /etc/resolv.conf | 11:57 |
| Halabund | tesuji, I use dhcp, then connect to a VPN to get internet access | 11:57 |
| Mjuksel | hello guys | 11:57 |
| tesuji | does anyone know how to use X from remote? | 11:57 |
| Mjuksel | good morning here, goor afternoon to some :P | 11:57 |
| soreau | ! hi | Mjuksel | 11:57 |
| ubottu | Mjuksel: 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! | 11:57 |
| Mjuksel | hi | 11:57 |
| tesuji | Halabund, i don't know anything about vpn sorry | 11:57 |
| Jordan_U | blah_sphemer: Yes, though by then I might not be here to read the boot info script output. | 11:57 |
| Mjuksel | can someone help me ? | 11:57 |
| soreau | tesuji: What do you mean by use X and remote? | 11:57 |
| Halabund | soreau, just give me a minute until the bloody pastebin site loads ... | 11:58 |
| Halabund | soreau, veeeery slow as usual | 11:58 |
| Mjuksel | my theme suddenly tripped out, and now i have the top bar (minimize close etc) in a windows style :? | 11:58 |
| blah_sphemer | Jordan_U, oh no. | 11:58 |
| Halabund | soreau, http://pastebin.org/444926 | 11:58 |
| tesuji | soreau, ssh -X user@domain, then you run x apps from the remote box the output appears on your local - but indiviodual apps are not enough and i can't figure out how to get a full desktop | 11:58 |
| === thyri0n is now known as zz_thyri0n | ||
| soreau | tesuji: To actually see the remote desktop, use a vncviewer | 11:59 |
| Mjuksel | teamviewer is a good one | 11:59 |
| Mjuksel | :) | 11:59 |
| Mjuksel | my theme suddenly tripped out, and now i have the top bar (minimize close etc) in a windows style :? | 11:59 |
| soreau | Halabund: Have you tried 8.8.8.8 or 192.168.1.1 (or whatever your router ip is, if applicable) | 11:59 |
| tesuji | soreau, i thought vnc gave access to my own desktop to a remote user - not what i want - i want the remote user to have his own desktop | 11:59 |
| Halabund | soreau, try what exaqctly? | 12:00 |
| mmman | ubottu, if i shutdown the machine would it write some data ? | 12:00 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:00 |
| soreau | tesuji: Then you should start an X session on the remote machine and vnc into it | 12:00 |
| === zz_thyri0n is now known as thyri0n | ||
| jigal | hello where can i find my .bash_aliases | 12:00 |
| soreau | tesuji: you can run multiple X sessions on different vts on the same box | 12:00 |
| tesuji | soreau, vnc ties people together so two people use one desktop - not what i want - i want the remote user to be independent from me | 12:01 |
| Jordan_U | blah_sphemer: Here is a guide for re-installing grub2 from a LiveCD which may be usefull: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide | 12:01 |
| soreau | tesuji: vnc doesnt tie anything together. It simply allows to view a desktop remotely | 12:01 |
| jrib | jigal: ~ | 12:02 |
| Mjuksel | can someone help me :( | 12:02 |
| Mjuksel | ? | 12:02 |
| jrib | !helpme | Mjuksel | 12:02 |
| soreau | tesuji: You can start another X session on the remote machine, using a different user if you like | 12:02 |
| ubottu | Mjuksel: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude | 12:02 |
| tesuji | soreau, also the remote user is not running ubuntu and i don't want to have to compile special software | 12:02 |
| jigal | jrib: i am looking for the file where i can add new aliases | 12:02 |
| jrib | Mjuksel: what do you mean in a "windows style"? | 12:02 |
| soreau | tesuji: There is no special software to compile. Just use vino-server or any vnc server on the remove machine | 12:03 |
| Mjuksel | uhm | 12:03 |
| jrib | jigal: ~/.bashrc. Sometimes ~/.bashrc will source ~/.bash_aliases (read it and see). If it does, then you can also use ~/.bash_aliases | 12:03 |
| Mjuksel | the title bar looks like it came from hell (windows xp style) | 12:03 |
| jrib | Mjuksel: change your theme? | 12:03 |
| Mjuksel | i need to turn it back to ubuntu style | 12:03 |
| pranay_09 | is there any software in linux where one can record songs in one's own voice with the voice of the original singer removed but the music still plays? | 12:03 |
| Mjuksel | yeah i did , but it doesnt change anything.. | 12:03 |
| Karen_m | how can I remove a package but leave the dependancies alone? I want to source compile, as the ubuntu version does not support my driver | 12:03 |
| soreau | Mjuksel: Which window manager are you using? | 12:04 |
| jrib | Karen_m: what package? | 12:04 |
| Mjuksel | dont know sorry, im not really familiar yet | 12:04 |
| Mjuksel | how can i check ? | 12:04 |
| jrib | Mjuksel: what were you doing when this happened? | 12:04 |
| Karen_m | jrib, kismet | 12:04 |
| Mjuksel | nothing i installed a theme | 12:04 |
| jigal | jrib: i was looking for bash_aliases where i can add new aliases. can it be right that ~./bash_aliases is totaly empty? | 12:04 |
| jrib | Karen_m: jigal that's not the right file. Sure it can be empty or not even exist. Make sure you read what I said last | 12:05 |
| jrib | erm, not for Karen_m , that was... | 12:05 |
| soreau | Mjuksel: Assuming you are using gnome, this command in your terminal ps ax|egrep "metacity|compiz" | 12:05 |
| jrib | Karen_m: if you remove a package, it won't remove the dependencies | 12:06 |
| DiploCat | tesuji, http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-set-up-a-terminal-server-in-linux-using-ubuntu-9.10-and-freenx | 12:06 |

| Mjuksel | and now ? | 12:07 |
| DiploCat | np | 12:07 |

| Mjuksel | yes | 12:08 |
| Mjuksel | 0:24 compiz | 12:08 |
| jrib | Karen_m: anyway, why don't you just do this the right way and rebuild the package? | 12:08 |
| Mjuksel | and 0:00 egrep --color=auto metacity|compiz | 12:08 |
| jigal | jrib: pleas look at the highlited lines http://pastebin.com/3BfarhnG i saw in a tutorial that it's better to add new aliases in the file mentioned in the highlighted lines see here http://www.sucka.net/2009/09/ubuntu-command-line-tip-1-%E2%80%93-aliases/ | 12:08 |
| soreau | Mjuksel: And assuming you are using gtk-w-d, use gnome-appearance-properties to change the theme | 12:08 |

| blah_sphemer | Jordan_U, I hope the contents of my internal HD aren't disturbed because of the ubuntu installation. | 12:12 |
| blah_sphemer | Jordan_U, I am positive that I installed ubuntu only on the exteral HDD without any partitions. | 12:12 |
| tesuji | DiploCat, i want to tell you this is a way to use an old piece of junk laptop with little memory and no harddisk as if it had tons of both | 12:13 |
| SteelWing | I have a problem with glib the explanation is here: http://pastebin.com/d0EC2hgC | 12:14 |
| somethinginteres | Hi all, how can I get in depth info on the hardware in my PC? I am looking for an equivalent of Windows device manager... | 12:14 |
| DiploCat | tesuji, yeah, perfect for a remote desktop... I haven't tried that tutorial, so can't vouch for it... but at my old work we used RDP on windows and it worked nicely | 12:14 |
| jrib | SteelWing: where did you install it to? | 12:15 |
| jrib | somethinginteres: lshw | 12:15 |
| Karen_m | so use the patch command on the source tree for the package and the tree that i downloaded for kismet? | 12:15 |
| SteelWing | jrib the default location | 12:16 |
| blah_sphemer | i installed ubuntu on my external HDD while my internal HD contains Fedora 12 and Win xp. When I tried to boot after intallation, I got a grub error. What must I do? | 12:16 |
| jrib | Karen_m: if that's what you want to do... | 12:16 |
| SteelWing | jrib: rather where make install pointed it to. | 12:16 |
| Bobby_Cape | Hi I just upgraded to 10.4 on my sony vgn-fw55gf 64bit laptop and my touchpad stopped working.Anyone had the same problem. I have to plug in a mouse now to use it Thanks | 12:16 |
| jrib | SteelWing: I do not know this information. | 12:16 |
| SteelWing | jrib: let me go look through it. | 12:16 |
| somethinginteres | jrib: thanks | 12:16 |
| Karen_m | jrib, once you have the source for the package done, how do you install that source package? | 12:17 |
| DiploCat | blah_sphemer, can you boot to the external drive? | 12:17 |
| jrib | Karen_m: you build the package, then install that (ubottu said how) | 12:17 |
| AviMarcus | how do i choose which screen things open up on? | 12:17 |
| jrib | Karen_m: you should also run « dch -i » and appen something like ~karen1 to the version | 12:18 |
| blah_sphemer | DiploCat, no I can't. | 12:18 |
| jrib | !devilspie | AviMarcus | 12:18 |
| ubottu | AviMarcus: devilspie is a tool that performs actions on windows in GNOME's metacity such as resizing, positioning, and pinning. Usage information can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Devilspie | 12:18 |
| jrib | AviMarcus: depends on your setup, but that might work | 12:18 |
| blah_sphemer | DiploCat, With my external plugged in, I tried to boot and I got the GRUB error5. | 12:18 |
| AviMarcus | I'll have a look, thanks jrib | 12:18 |
| blah_sphemer | DiploCat, then without the external I got GRUB error 21 | 12:18 |
| soreau | AviMarcus: I guess you got your new kernel working with internet now? :) | 12:19 |
| SteelWing | jrib: hmm... I just noticed a big problem | 12:19 |
| jrib | SteelWing: hmm? | 12:19 |
| SteelWing | When I compiled it with ./configure it made a glib folder with the make file | 12:19 |
| SteelWing | in the directory | 12:19 |
| blah_sphemer | DiploCat, I think, if I remove the newly installed GRUB all will be back to normal. What do you feel? | 12:19 |
| AviMarcus | ah soreau - yes, thank you! | 12:19 |
| SteelWing | so I wasn't deep enough when I sudo make install'd which probably installed a completely broken version. | 12:19 |
| jrib | !enter | SteelWing | 12:20 |
| ubottu | SteelWing: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 12:20 |
| AviMarcus | soreau, both screens work full resolution as well as I fixed the wifi again. | 12:20 |
| DiploCat | blah_sphemer, it's not about removing it... it sounds like the new install wrote grub to the MBR with a config that is wrong | 12:20 |
| SteelWing | Sorry! | 12:20 |
| DiploCat | blah_sphemer, you probably need a live cd like knoppix to run grub-install again | 12:20 |
| soreau | AviMarcus: Glad it is all working now ;) | 12:20 |
| AviMarcus | soreau, do you have the newest X that you had me install? it seems a tiny bit.. funny | 12:21 |
| soreau | AviMarcus: Now, if you use compiz, you can use the Place Windows plugin in ccsm to tell windows where to be placed | 12:21 |
| SteelWing | In short the compiled source was in folder b which was inside of folder a the folder I ran make install from. I just ran make uninstall from folder and and am now going into folder b to perfom a make install to see if that fixes it. | 12:21 |
| blah_sphemer | DiploCat, can't anything be done with the ubuntu cd itself. | 12:21 |
| AviMarcus | I think I'm using compiz, it certainly seems to be running | 12:22 |
| SteelWing | I mean ran make uninstall from folder a | 12:22 |
| blah_sphemer | DiploCat, like re-installing the grub oir something | 12:22 |
| soreau | AviMarcus: Yes, I use the xorg-edgers X too. The repo is updated often, so make sure to do apt-get update/upgrade regularly | 12:22 |
| blah_sphemer | *or | 12:22 |
| gmonnerat | exists something like "/etc/rc.local" for non-root users? i need start my app but i don't have root permissions | 12:22 |
| SteelWing | jrib: No dice. | 12:22 |
| jrib | !startup | gmonnerat | 12:23 |
| ubottu | gmonnerat: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 12:23 |
| jrib | SteelWing: you still haven't answered my question | 12:23 |
| somethinginteres | is there an ubuntu channel for discussing hardware specifically? | 12:23 |
| DiploCat | blah_sphemer, I'm not sure... just looking online, you need to be able to run a live distro to get a terminal without booting from the disk | 12:23 |
| gmonnerat | ubottu: and in ubuntu server? | 12:24 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:24 |
| blah_sphemer | DiploCat, that I already have. | 12:24 |
| blah_sphemer | DiploCat, and I got this link: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide | 12:24 |
| SteelWing | jrib: I don't know where it installs to. According to the install instructions one of the files is in exec_prefix/lib/glib/include. But to behonest the instructions were merely ./configure, make, rm -rf 2 files, make install.. I'm sorry but I have no idea where this went to. | 12:24 |
| DiploCat | blah_sphemer, so can you see the internal disks if you run "fdisk -l" from the terminal? | 12:26 |

| tesuji | hi - i am trying to boot the xubuntu 10.04 livecd on an ancient laptop and the video isn't working - it is a dell inspiron 700m - i was able to get it up with another distro using xvesa drivers - how do i specify that at boot with xubuntu? | 12:51 |
| jrib | Jason213: does the fullscreen video, have minimize, maximize and close buttons in the corner? | 12:52 |
| Jason213 | nope | 12:52 |
| jrib | Jason213: what flash are you using? | 12:52 |
| Zwei | Are there any other programs like Graphics Layout Engine (GLE), I want to compare a few before I start learning / using one. I would google but I don't know what to search for. | 12:52 |
| Jason213 | the newest one | 12:52 |
| jrib | Jason213: that's not an answer. | 12:53 |
| blah_sphemer | DiploCat, sda1 is one of the internal drives partitions. | 12:53 |
| Minas | !seen ajboy | 12:53 |
| blah_sphemer | DiploCat, so sdb is the excternal. now what? | 12:53 |
| ubottu | I have no seen command | 12:53 |
| Jason213 | 10.1 | 12:53 |
| tesuji | hi - is there a way to tell livecd to use xvesa drivers at boot? | 12:53 |
| jrib | Jason213: adobe's? | 12:53 |
| Jason213 | yep | 12:53 |
| tesuji | erUSUL, DiploCat Jordan_U hi - is there a way to tell livecd to use xvesa drivers at boot? | 12:54 |
| jrib | Jason213: disable effects in Appearance Properties, see if there is any change | 12:54 |
| Jason213 | i dont have effects enable | 12:54 |
| jrib | Jason213: how come? | 12:55 |
| tesuji | hi - is there a way to tell livecd to use xvesa drivers at boot? | 12:55 |
| Jason213 | i dont like effects | 12:55 |
| TiK | tesuji: asl once | 12:55 |
| soreau | jrib: heh | 12:55 |
| TiK | tesuji: ask once | 12:55 |
| Jason213 | if i wanted a blooted system i use windows | 12:55 |
| somethinginteres | I'm having some issues with Grub I currently have 3 HDD's in my PC 2 NTFS formated and one ext4 that has Ubuntu on it but GRUB is detecting the other drives as bootable Windows. This means I need to actively select Ubuntu from within the list. How can just have the computer boot without showing GRUB? | 12:55 |
| soreau | Jason213: Compiz != bloat | 12:55 |
| TiK | tesuji: don't insall GUI imo get an alternative insall and install text mode | 12:55 |
| jrib | Jason213: enable them as a troubleshooting step | 12:56 |
| soreau | Jason213: In any event, does it make a difference if you enable them then test? | 12:56 |
| tesuji | tik i am not installing - i am running off the livecd | 12:56 |
| TiK | tesuji: o | 12:56 |
| DiploCat | does sda1 have a /boot directory? if so, then proceed with that webpage you linked me from "Once we have our system mounted..." - but where it says /mnt, replace it with /mnt/disk1 - so /mnt/disk1/dev, /mnt/disk1/proc, /mnt/disk1/sys etc | 12:56 |
| Jason213 | i enable them | 12:56 |
| blah_sphemer | DiploCat, k | 12:57 |
| Dr_Willis | somethinginteres: boot Ubuntu by default you mean? or what exactly>? | 12:57 |
| TiK | tesuji: and you just get a black screen? | 12:57 |
| DiploCat | blah_sphemer, and also the "sudo chroot /mnt" becomes "sudo chroot /mnt/disk1" | 12:57 |
| blah_sphemer | DiploCat, so what will happen is: I am reinstalling GRUB on the Fedora. Am I right? | 12:57 |
| Jason213 | it work like that jrib but vid laggy | 12:58 |
| jrib | Jason213: interesting | 12:58 |
| tesuji | tik yes | 12:58 |
| jrib | Jason213: can you verify that you're running metacity without effects enabled? | 12:58 |
| soreau | Jason213: The other thing you can do is use compiz ezoom (Super+Scroll by default) to zoom into the video in the browser | 12:59 |
| tesuji | tik using another distro i am able to specify xvesa and it works | 12:59 |
| TiK | tesuji: no ideas sory | 12:59 |
| soreau | jrib: I suspect flash attempts to detect compiz and doesnt use acceleration if compiz is running | 12:59 |
| soreau | jrib: Not sure why flash using 3D would go on top though | 12:59 |
| jrib | soreau: hmm | 13:00 |
| tesuji | hi - is there a way to tell livecd to use xvesa drivers at boot? this is for running on the livecd, not an install | 13:00 |
| soreau | err.. I mean ff would be on top | 13:00 |
| Jason213 | i have nivdia driver think i should try get the diver off nvidia website | 13:00 |
| soreau | tesuji: You can specify boot options, yes | 13:00 |
| tesuji | soreau, please tell me how | 13:01 |
| soreau | tesuji: Press Esc when it goes to load | 13:01 |
| tesuji | soreau, at what stage? | 13:01 |
| Jason213 | jrib, thanks for the try i will see if i can fix it | 13:02 |
| soreau | tesuji: As soon as the cd loads, when it shows the little icon at the bottom of the screen, then select your language and press esc again IIRC | 13:02 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | hi all | 13:02 |
| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | so who needs help? | 13:03 |
| darknemesis | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DansGuardian << i tried following thiss but dont think i have it right as i can only get to google | 13:03 |
| soreau | ! hi | ta_bu_shi_da_yu | 13:03 |
| ubottu | ta_bu_shi_da_yu: 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! | 13:03 |
| tesuji | soreau, i press escape when booting, i end up at a boot: prompt - now what? | 13:03 |
| somethinginteres | Dr_Willis: I'm not 100% b/c I am very new to linux but when I boot my computer GRUB appears and presents me with a number of boot options - I just want Ubuntu to boot without GRUB showing. I don't' think it really should be appearing anyway as the other drives are simply storage drives and have no other OS to boot. | 13:03 |
| darknemesis | any ideas? | 13:03 |
| soreau | tesuji: type your boot options? | 13:03 |
| tesuji | soreau, if i knew what they were i wouldn't be asking | 13:04 |
| soreau | tesuji: Its probably something like video=xvesa or something | 13:04 |
| etrisnanto | hello | 13:04 |
| tesuji | soreau, can you tell me where to find out? | 13:04 |
| JoeMaverickSett | what could be the cause of this problem? "E: Could not open file /var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_do-core_ppa_ubuntu_dists_lucid_main_source_Sources - open (2: No such file or directory)" | 13:04 |
| tesuji | soreau, guessing is not going to work | 13:05 |
| Dr_Willis | somethinginteres: I perer grub to show.. its not there very long.. and it should default to the ubuntu os after a short timeout. | 13:05 |
| soreau | tesuji: Google? I really dont know what boot option it would be exactly | 13:05 |
| tesuji | soreau, have googled already, i am confused and need help | 13:05 |
| soreau | tesuji: Maybe it would help if you explained why you think you need xvesa | 13:05 |
| somethinginteres | Dr_Willis: how can I check/change the timeout value? | 13:06 |
| Dr_Willis | somethinginteres: if your NTFS drives have no windows OS on them.. then that is weird that its showing them. You can the windows os's from getting added to the grub menu via --> sudo chmod -x /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober | 13:06 |
| tesuji | soreau, because this laptop works using xvesa on another distro, will not boot ubuntu | 13:06 |
| Dr_Willis | somethinginteres: grub2 has config fikles you edit.. then rerun 'sudo update-grub' | 13:06 |
| Dr_Willis | somethinginteres: grub2 is worth learnuing a bit about. :) time out is in /etc/default/grub i belive | 13:06 |
| Dr_Willis | !grub2 | somethinginteres | 13:06 |
| ubottu | somethinginteres: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 13:06 |
| soreau | tesuji: Which graphics card is it and at what point in the boot does it fail? | 13:06 |
| bigtone | hi folks. I just upgraded to 10.04. System has LVM over LUKS. On reboot, after putting in password, I see "cryptsetup: lvm fs found but no lvm configured", before being dropped to an initramfs shell. Help! | 13:06 |
| bigtone | can anyone offer clues? | 13:07 |
| somethinginteres | Dr_Willis: thanks | 13:07 |
| soreau | bigtone: just what the message says, you apparently didnt setup lvm correctly | 13:08 |

| bigtone | soreau: except, it was working before the upgrade. | 13:08 |
| soreau | bigtone: Upgrades are problematic at best. Use a fresh installation | 13:09 |
| tesuji | soreau, according to what i can find on the net, it is intel extreme grahics. this is an ancient dell laptop. when it boots i get the ubuntu logo then the screen goes blank | 13:09 |
| bigtone | soreau: mmmmmmmm | 13:09 |
| soreau | tesuji: Alright, try booting with nomodeset | 13:09 |
| bigtone | soreau: as in, that's a shame | 13:09 |
| tesuji | soreau, please be explcit what to type and when | 13:10 |
| soreau | tesuji: Actually, use intel.modeset=0 | 13:10 |
| g0tcha | anyone here has a link on how to install ubuntu on a usb drive so i can boot with it from any pc? | 13:10 |
| tesuji | soreau, is this at the boot: prompt? | 13:10 |
| soreau | tesuji: yes | 13:10 |
| DiploCat | blah_sphemer, (sorry about delay), grub actually gets installed to the MBR, which is the first sector on the hard drive... the reason you need to chroot into fedora is so that it recognises that as your default disk / install... when you installed the external disk, it must have written over the MBR with info about the external disk | 13:11 |
| tesuji | soreau, it says "Could not find kernel image: intel.modeset=0" | 13:11 |
| soreau | tesuji: ok that is the wrong prompt then | 13:12 |
| airtonix | g0tcha, look in your system > admin menu. | 13:12 |
| tesuji | soreau, i follow your directions exactly | 13:12 |
| soreau | tesuji: I dont have a livecd booted in front of me so I cant tell you exactly how to get to boot options but try pressing e | 13:12 |
| g0tcha | airtonix, what am i supposed to look at there? | 13:12 |
| tesuji | soreau, at what stage? | 13:12 |
| soreau | tesuji: Highlight try ubuntu then press e | 13:12 |
| airtonix | g0tcha, one of the options should be obvious. | 13:12 |
| airtonix | g0tcha, you wanted to know about "boot" and "usb" | 13:13 |
| tesuji | soreau, when boot it asks language, then there are 4 options: try it, install it, memtest, and check disk. then what? | 13:13 |
| soreau | tesuji: Highlight try it, then press e | 13:13 |
| Mostafa | Hi,Some month ago i copy file from my hard to ex hard disk to have backup of them, but now i find that i have 3 or some times more than 3 copy of same file, is there any software than can help me to delet the copy of files? | 13:15 |

| abhijit | i just written kubuntu to my external hdd. my external hdd is sdc and it has two partitions amongh that i write to sdc2. and it gives error Operating System missing. | 13:16 |
| abhijit | help | 13:16 |
| Mostafa | soreau, can we talk in pm? | 13:17 |
| abhijit | where to get virtaul box help? which channel? | 13:17 |
| Ileden | Mostafa: why can't you just delete the file from the file system explorer? | 13:17 |
| soreau | Mostafa: I dont think it will be of much benefit. Try #bash | 13:17 |
| Pici | abhijit: #vbox | 13:17 |
| abhijit | Pici, thanks | 13:17 |
| TiK | abhijit: you have to install the bootloader on a different partitio i think | 13:17 |
| Mostafa | Ileden,cuz these alot folder and file | 13:18 |
| Ileden | Mostafa: if it's 2 extra copies of a file, it should be easy to just go find them delete those... or did I miss something? | 13:18 |
| tesuji | soreau, that doesn't work. when livecd boot there is a row of options at the bottom tied to fkeys. if you select one of them there is a menu, you can use arrow keys up and down and 'enter' selects or deselects, but you have to hit escape to get out of the menu and it isn't clear that the option was saved. one of the options nomodeselect however it still boots to a blank screen | 13:18 |
| abhijit | TiK, means? i have ubuntu running in my main internal hdd. | 13:18 |
| Ileden | Mostafa: oh, ok, there are a lot of duplicate files. sorry, I misread you | 13:18 |
| soreau | tesuji: Alright, hang on let me boot a lucid cd | 13:19 |
| tesuji | soreau, i am using xubuntu | 13:19 |
| TiK | abhijit: sometimes you can't boot off an external drive | 13:20 |
| abhijit | TiK, then how to do this ? ----withought affecting my original ubuntu----- | 13:20 |
| TiK | abhijit: I'm no expert but I would have tried notinstallinga boot manager and adding kub to your other ubuntu's grub list | 13:20 |
| aguitel | i am using remastersys to create live cd to share with others ,when it start ,how login ? | 13:21 |
| zhutong | where am i | 13:21 |
| abhijit | TiK, ok | 13:21 |
| soreau | testi: ok you do F6, then esc, then the boot line will appear where you can type. Put any kernel options there, each are separated by a space | 13:22 |
| soreau | tesuji: At the end of the kernel boot line | 13:22 |
| guampa | hey | 13:22 |
| blah_sphemer | DiploCat, What does this do? grub-install /dev/sda | 13:23 |

| blah_sphemer | soreau, it gave me this: Vould not find device for /dev/mapper/* in 4 lines. then said 'Installation finished' | 13:26 |

| g0tcha | airtonix, this lets me put the livecd on the usb.. it doesnt let me install it on the usb so i can boot from it.. does it? | 13:28 |
| airtonix | g0tcha, yes | 13:28 |
| g0tcha | it does? hmm ill do more reading about it | 13:28 |
| airtonix | g0tcha, it will even let you assign a portion of the usb to "persistant storage" | 13:28 |
| tesuji | soreau, it displays the kernel boot line when i use a menu option but does not let me edit | 13:29 |
| tesuji | soreau, if i do not use menu option it does not even display the boot line | 13:29 |
| soreau | JoeMaverickSett: You have to install the patch first, before compiling | 13:29 |
| guampa | JoeMaverickSett: patches should be applied before compiling, step 6 seems to have debs with the compiled kernel already | 13:29 |
| soreau | tesuji: idk, wroksforme | 13:30 |
| tesuji | soreau, this is xubuntu and the boot screen is diff from ubuntu (in all their infinite wisdom) | 13:30 |
| JoeMaverickSett | oh! could you guys write on that post? please. soreau, guampa. | 13:30 |

| soreau | JoeMaverickSett: Yes | 13:31 |
| JoeMaverickSett | soreau, thanks. | 13:31 |
| soreau | JoeMaverickSett: You have to ditch the deb packages you have, apply the patch and rebuild again | 13:31 |

| JoeMaverickSett | soreau, i'm new on Ubuntu. been only 2months on it. so if you would, could you explain on the post, descriptively? if and when you got time. | 13:32 |
| soreau | blah_sphemer: Perhaps you dont have to worry about unmounting it.. | 13:33 |
| blah_sphemer | soreau, okay. :) | 13:33 |
| Kyuusai-San | hey quick question anyone got a good program for converting a whole folder or .nef (raw) files to .jpg | 13:33 |

| blah_sphemer | i love you soreau, DiploCat, Jordan_U. you saved the day for me :) | 13:34 |
| soreau | JoeMaverickSett: It depends on how the patch was generated and how the source was obtained and I really dont feel like replying there. Google for how to apply patch ubuntu | 13:34 |
| Ileden | soreau: not really. it makes the lagging have a bit diffent "feel" | 13:34 |
| Benkinooby | when ever i plug in a pendrive, it tells me unable to mount, not authorized. i can not find a solution. any hints/soulutions? | 13:34 |
| JoeMaverickSett | soreau, alright, thanks for the help. will certainly Google it up. | 13:35 |
| blah_sphemer | is there a specific guide I must follow to install ubuntu on my external HD and use it on whichever computer I want, on the fly? | 13:35 |

| Mostafa | i want to install fdupes but is give me this error, what should i do? | 13:35 |
| jrib | Mostafa: are you using APT? | 13:36 |
| JoeMaverickSett | soreau, okie, will look it up again. | 13:36 |
| Mostafa | The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources. | 13:36 |
| guampa | i have copied my ubuntu partition to my sisters machine, will now reinstall grub in the target and adapt /etc/fstab with the new uuids... is there a dpkg-reconfigure for fstab? | 13:36 |
| Mostafa | jrib, what is that? | 13:36 |
| Mostafa | idk | 13:36 |
| Kyuusai-San | blah_sphemer nope i dont think so, i think all you need to do is specify the drive when your installing ubuntu and then make sure that you have got the bios on your machine to boot from external device | 13:37 |
| soreau | Mostafa: apt, as in apt-get, apt-cache, apt-file.. default package management tools in ubuntu | 13:37 |
| abhijit | :'( | 13:37 |
| Mostafa | jrib, yes | 13:37 |
| blah_sphemer | Kyuusai-San, how do I get a BIOS of that sort. Because I have to | 13:37 |

| Kyuusai-San | you dont need to it should already be built in to your machine | 13:38 |
| Kyuusai-San | when you turn it on it usual asks for a key for you to press to access your bios such as f12 or delete or something | 13:38 |
| Kyuusai-San | when in there you can specify what device to boot from | 13:38 |
| === killahop is now known as Guest21687 | ||

| Mostafa | soreau, fdupes | 13:41 |
| karlo | is there any command (in terminal) for force quit some program ? | 13:41 |
| airtonix | g0tcha, reason for this is that the space it creates for you is not easily mountable for novices at the moment. | 13:41 |
| airtonix | g0tcha, (when you're not using it as a boot disk that is ) | 13:42 |

| armor-64 | hi!i cant install 2 updates that are necessary for me the updates are(nvidia-current,flashplugin-nonfree)can you help? | 13:49 |
| hariom | Hi, I am logged in to my ubuntu server as a normal user. When I want to execute any service, I do it using sudo and provide the password of the login user. But when I do "su" and systems I asks for the password, it doesn't accept the password. Why? | 13:50 |
| cmpsalvestrini | armor-64: you need to enable the restricted sources to install those updates. | 13:50 |
| cmpsalvestrini | hariom: the standard mode of operating for getting yourself elevated to root is sudo su | 13:51 |
| armor-64 | cmpsalvestrini, how to do this? | 13:51 |
| kancerman | how do I get around an 'immediate configure' thrown exception ?? | 13:51 |
| abhijit | how to extract .tar.gz command prmpt? | 13:51 |
| blip- | hi, when i click on the play button on youtube, nothing happens. the video doesn't start loading. i have firefox and flash-nonfree installed, any ideas ? | 13:51 |
| cmpsalvestrini | armor-64: System --> Administration --> Software Sources | 13:51 |
| blah_sphemer | I have a desktop with 2 internal HDDs, one of which contains important files. but on windows I am unable to copy them onto a external hd, cuz it keeps saying delayed write failed. can ubuntu solve this? | 13:52 |
| armor-64 | cmpsalvestrini, and were to go? | 13:52 |
| hariom | cmpsalvestrini: ok. I got that part. Now I have created another user and logged into it using su <username> and password for that user. But when I do sudo from the new users, it get this: <newuser> is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. | 13:52 |
| cmpsalvestrini | hariom: try not using su but instead use sudo directly | 13:53 |
| cmpsalvestrini | for instance sudo rmmod foo | 13:53 |
| thune3 | hariom: new users need to have "admin" group added to gain sudo privliges | 13:54 |
| === kuba_ is now known as Guest86384 | ||
| hariom | thune3: how to do that? | 13:55 |
| cmpsalvestrini | armor-64: you will be asked for your password | 13:55 |
| cmpsalvestrini | armor-64: once in the program you can select under the ubuntu software tab the sources you want to activate in this case restricted | 13:57 |
| hariom | Ok I did that using users and groups GUI | 13:57 |
| thune3 | hariom: you can use gui System->Admin->users and groups or I think that command is sudo adduser user group ........ oh ok you got it | 13:57 |
| User534 | hi | 13:59 |
| neo__ | hi!i have a problem with the wi-fi connection. every time i use Transmission, after a while the connection goes down, has someone else had the same problem? (i use ubuntu 10.04 LTS) | 14:00 |
| User534 | can somebody create account in Czech site www.pipni.cz (i need free linux vps) | 14:00 |
| magnetron | neo__: do you happen to use a home router? | 14:00 |
| neo__ | yes | 14:00 |
| _raven_ | how to copy local files via SSH with CP? | 14:00 |
| magnetron | _raven_: use scp | 14:00 |
| neo__ | it happens only when transmission is runniig | 14:01 |
| magnetron | neo__: do you happen to use a router? | 14:01 |
| neo__ | magnetron: yes | 14:01 |
| bihari | _raven_, ? what do you mean by cp? | 14:01 |
| User534 | somebody from Czech republic? | 14:02 |
| _raven_ | bihari, with command tool cp | 14:02 |
| bihari | oki | 14:02 |
| _raven_ | magnet, gives me Could not resolve hostname ssh: Name or service not known | 14:03 |
| magnetron | neo__: it's probably a problem with your router, bittorrent generates alot of connections and some routers will crash if they get too many | 14:03 |
| magnetron | _raven_: probably because you typed it wrong. | 14:03 |
| neo__ | ok......thanks, and how can i fix it? | 14:03 |
| _raven_ | magnetron, how to do it right? | 14:03 |
| llutz | _raven_: "man scp" | 14:04 |
| magnetron | neo__: in some routers it's a setting of "maximum connections". others needs to be flashed with an alternative firmware, and some others can't be used for bittorrent | 14:04 |
| JoshyFox | Gaiz, I'm having an issue broadcasting anything with flash, it is horribly pixellated | 14:05 |
| JoshyFox | I can give an example if one is needed | 14:06 |
| aj00200 | I want to sell a harddrive I have, but I would like to know if there is a way to wipe in completely first (even from undeletion) because it contains some sensitive data | 14:06 |
| llutz | aj00200: use "shred" | 14:07 |
| fsl1 | nick fsl | 14:07 |
| aj00200 | llutz: thanks, I'll look at it :) | 14:07 |

| paulmcatee | Hi guys, I got some help a while ago reguarding a bug for NVIDIA drivers, I had to reinstall after a fatal crash due to the lastest updates and the sound issues, but I'm back to square one. I have the solution to the NVidia drivers, but now I can't edit the damn xorg file. HELP! | 14:07 |
| _raven_ | magnetron, possible to save the connection? or necessary to enter the password for each file | 14:07 |
| Mjuksel | anybody know how to play cod mw2 on ubuntu btw? | 14:07 |
| Pici | !wine | Mjuksel | 14:08 |
| ubottu | Mjuksel: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 14:08 |
| Mjuksel | i know i have wine installed | 14:08 |
| Mjuksel | but it wont work | 14:08 |
| slow-motion | hi | 14:08 |
| neo__ | magnetron: but when i used windows XP it didn't give me troubles. so i thought about a library error or something similar | 14:08 |
| Pici | Mjuksel: #winehq can help you get specific applications running under Wine. | 14:08 |
| Mjuksel | ok cool | 14:08 |
| Mjuksel | thnx | 14:08 |
| JoshyFox | Guys, any help why the flash broadcasting issue? | 14:09 |
| paulmcatee | What flash are you running? | 14:09 |
| bihari | JoshuaL, ? whats the issue? can you tell me your problem ? | 14:09 |
| JoshyFox | The newest one, adobe | 14:09 |
| JoshyFox | Well, whenever I broadcast, it is horribly pixellated | 14:10 |
| paulmcatee | Are you running 32 or 64 bit? | 14:10 |
| JoshyFox | 32 | 14:10 |
| JoshyFox | That is broadcasting anything, not just webcam | 14:10 |
| paulmcatee | So you are using Flash 10.1?? | 14:10 |
| magicstuff | hey everyone... | 14:11 |
| magicstuff | so I tried to do a dual boot with win7...and its not working | 14:11 |
| JoshyFox | 10.1.53.64 | 14:11 |
| magnetron | neo__: well, you haven't given anymore info so router problems is the most likely cause here | 14:11 |
| TommyThaGun | I just got a bunch of these "N: Ignoring file 'google-chrome.list.distUpgrade' in directory '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension" when I ran an update. They were all for different files. | 14:11 |
| TommyThaGun | how do I fix it? | 14:11 |
| chilli0 | Does anyone know how I can change my mouse pad ( laptop) input to a midi input. ( trying to use it as a crossfader mixxx) | 14:11 |
| magicstuff | chilli0: i like that idea...interesting | 14:12 |
| paulmcatee | What kind of connection do you have? | 14:12 |
| chilli0 | magicstuff, Thanks. Any clue how =P | 14:12 |
| JoshyFox | wireless | 14:12 |
| red2kic | TommyThaGun: My assumptions were that you upgraded to Lucid. All third-parties PPA are disabled when you do that. Invalid filename extension -- (distUpgrade). | 14:12 |
| magicstuff | nope, sorry :d | 14:12 |
| paulmcatee | And your graphics card? | 14:12 |
| TommyThaGun | red2kic, I upgraded from Lucid almost 2 months ago | 14:12 |
| tierge | Hello everyone! sorry for my english, but i need ur help. i need to know how can i find out what happens when i am oppening exe file, actually i do know that exe is trying to open some txt file,that can not be found on my pc, but i need to know where exe is looking for that file. hope u understood me( thx | 14:13 |
| red2kic | TommyThaGun: In other words, fix your PPA (from Karmic to Lucid, perhaps?) then try and "sudo aptitude update" | 14:13 |
| TommyThaGun | red2kic, that was the first time I have had this error | 14:13 |
| Pici | TommyThaGun: What version of Ubuntu are you running now? | 14:13 |
| TommyThaGun | red2kic, excuse me, actually, I upgraded from Lucid to Maverick | 14:13 |
| JoshyFox | Graphics card, hmm | 14:13 |
| paulmcatee | Are you running on a laptop? | 14:13 |
| JoshyFox | Lemme find out | 14:13 |
| JoshyFox | I am, yes | 14:13 |
| soreau | tierge: Are you using wine to run this exe? | 14:13 |
| neo__ | magnetron: actually, you're right. but in the system log there's nothing. only one time it logged something about /build/buildd/linux-2.6.32/net/mac80211/tx.c | 14:13 |
| TommyThaGun | red2kic, but that was about a montha nd a half ago. This was the first I've seen this error though | 14:14 |
| neo__ | magnetron: and the relative call trace | 14:14 |
| tierge | soreau, no - mono | 14:14 |
| red2kic | TommyThaGun: It's not errors -- but -- notifications. You could have overlooked it in the past. | 14:14 |
| paulmcatee | OK, I did notice a few posts about wireless problems on the Ubuntu forums have you had a look through them? | 14:14 |
| soreau | tierge: Then use strace | 14:14 |
| Pici | TommyThaGun: Then you should be asking in #ubuntu+1 | 14:14 |
| TommyThaGun | red2kic, I couldn't have overlooked 20 of them | 14:14 |
| JoshyFox | It isn't a wireless problem, it happens even on a wired connection | 14:14 |
| oo | Anyone here know anything about OpenVPN? I have a VERY simple question: What is the point of the 128.0.0.0 routes I see? | 14:14 |
| magnetron | neo__: wait, you are torrenting via wifi? you didn't tell me | 14:15 |
| tierge | soreau: mono strace exe.exe ? sry once again ( i am nnob | 14:15 |
| Mostafa | i install fdupes where i can find it to run? | 14:15 |
| Gnea | oo: what 128.0.0.0 routes? | 14:15 |
| paulmcatee | OK, graphics card? | 14:15 |
| neo__ | magnetron: yes | 14:15 |
| JoshyFox | Just finding out for you | 14:15 |
| cognitiaclaeves | system came up this morning without window decorations. I recall having a blue icon that I could use to fix this. I don't remember what it was called. It allowed me to switch from 3d to metacity and reload. Anyone know what it was? | 14:15 |
| TommyThaGun | Pici, I asked there, but it's been quiet. And I figured this may be a problem seen on different Ubuntu versions | 14:15 |
| TommyThaGun | I guess I'll just wait patiently | 14:16 |
| erUSUL | cognitiaclaeves: fusion-icon | 14:16 |
| cognitiaclaeves | Yes, that was it. Thanks! | 14:16 |
| neo__ | magnetron: i saved the log with the call trace but i dont't kwnow who to send it to | 14:16 |
| JoshyFox | Intel, mobile 945GM/GMS | 14:16 |
| oo | Gnea: I'm testing a bunch of VPN services and they all do the "push" configuration, they always have a route like 128.0.0.0 10.8.0.1 128.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 tap0 | 14:16 |
| magnetron | neo__: there are a millions of reasons your wifi could go down. for instance, some other wifi user could be using an overlapping frequency | 14:16 |
| tesuji | soreau, i tried all your suggestions regarding my laptop with intel video and none work, the display dies when X is launched. ALSO, I edited the boot options to show progress messages and I can see it griping about missing broadcom drivers. are these not included on the cd? | 14:16 |
| oo | Gnea: that being Destination, Gateway, Genmask | 14:16 |
| TiK | question: how do I unzip *.zip in console ? in the gui it puts them all in seperate folders and I don't want that | 14:16 |
| paulmcatee | OK, let me take a quick look at something. | 14:16 |
| soreau | tesuji: No proprietary drivers are installed by default | 14:17 |
| Mostafa | where i can run fdupes? | 14:17 |
| soreau | ! broadcom | tesuji | 14:17 |
| ubottu | tesuji: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 14:17 |
| erUSUL | TiK: unzip *.zip | 14:17 |
| Gnea | oo: oh, that's probably just a sample configuration. no serious sample would use real ip information. | 14:17 |
| JoshyFox | Ok :D | 14:17 |
| TiK | erUSUL: doesnt work | 14:17 |
| erUSUL | TiK: error message ? | 14:17 |
| soreau | Mostafa: Did you ever pastebin the output of apt-get install fdupes? | 14:17 |
| Gnea | oo: the point is so that it won't screw your network up while testing | 14:17 |
| tesuji | soreau, this laptop has no internet access without wifi so downloading is impossible if wifi does not work | 14:17 |
| soreau | Mostafa: Try running fdupes in your terminal | 14:17 |
| TiK | caution: filename not matched: for all the zip files | 14:17 |
| skellll | hello hello | 14:17 |
| jmspeex | I just did an upgrade to Lucid and near the end, the "upgrade manager" just told me it was aborting the upgrade (and leaving me with an inconsistent state) just because some irrelevant package couldn't be upgraded. | 14:17 |
| Mostafa | soreau, how? | 14:17 |
| jmspeex | Where do I go from here? | 14:17 |
| TiK | err | 14:18 |
| llutz | TiK: for i in *.zip; unzip "$i";done | 14:18 |
| amir`` | is there a way to mirror a signle webpage with all the css and content? | 14:18 |
| TiK | erUSUL: caution: filename not matched: for all the files | 14:18 |
| jmspeex | I removed the offending package, but it's not clear how I can resume the upgrade | 14:18 |
| soreau | tesuji: Yep, that is why hardware mfgrs that do not cooperate with OSS suck | 14:18 |
| erUSUL | TiK: for file in *.zip; do unzip "$file"; done | 14:18 |
| llutz | erUSUL wins | 14:18 |
| neo__ | magnetron: if this is a problem that would stand also with windows so i don't think because this problem issued only with ubuntu | 14:18 |
| soreau | Mostafa: Open your terminal and run fdupes | 14:18 |
| erUSUL | TiK: ok llutz was faster ;P | 14:18 |
| red2kic | amir``: wget --help (See --mirror) | 14:18 |
| llutz | missing "do" | 14:18 |
| paulmcatee | When did you last update the flash package? | 14:18 |
| cognitiaclaeves | erUSUL: That did the trick. Thanks! | 14:18 |
| amir`` | pavok is good? | 14:18 |
| erUSUL | cognitiaclaeves: no problem | 14:18 |
| skellll | i have a problem , i my / partition i have 0 bits avaible , even if the used space is less than the available space , so i can boot but not log on | 14:19 |
| TiK | llutz: do I put that in a bash script? | 14:19 |
| oo | I am really stupid and don't know much about NAT, but I can't figure out why they always add a route for 128.0.0.0 when that is one of those formerly reserved blocks | 14:19 |
| erUSUL | TiK: in command line | 14:19 |
| llutz | TiK: why, just one line at cli | 14:19 |
| Gnea | oo: again, it's just a *sample* | 14:19 |
| JoshyFox | Last updated it, hmm | 14:19 |
| TiK | llutz: bash: syntax error near unexpected token `unzip' | 14:19 |
| JoshyFox | I think it is the most recent one | 14:19 |
| TiK | ed1703: ill try yours | 14:19 |
| llutz | TiK: missing "do" see erUSULs | 14:19 |
| neo__ | magnetron: before instead, the screen became black and i was forced to switch it off pushing the button | 14:19 |
| Gnea | you don't use a sample in a real configuration, you're supposed to modify it to suit your needs | 14:19 |
| erUSUL | TiK: llutz version had a mistake | 14:19 |
| paulmcatee | OK, wanna try reinstalling it? | 14:19 |
| JoshyFox | How? | 14:19 |
| tesuji | soreau, well, that's a headache but i can load the drivers on a thumbdrive IF i can get it to boot. any other ideas? | 14:19 |
| Gnea | oo: if you're new to networking, then maybe #networking can help you out | 14:20 |
| neo__ | magnetron: that's why i thought about a kernel errore | 14:20 |
| magnetron | neo__: i thought you said your network went down | 14:20 |
| oo | The reason I ask is that I'd like to make it so that only traffic to certain IP ranges goes trough the tap interface | 14:20 |
| paulmcatee | Applications/Ubuntu software center/ internet | 14:20 |
| chilli0 | How do I install gtk+-2.0 ? | 14:20 |
| neo__ | magnetron: recently yes | 14:20 |
| TiK | erUSUL: thanks worked | 14:20 |
| soreau | tesuji: I think that the reason it does not boot is because of the intel drivers though that is just a guess. Other problems could be you have not enough ram to load the livecd or that the machine is just old | 14:20 |
| coz_ | chilli0, are you on gnome right now? | 14:20 |
| tesuji | soreau, to recap, it works ok with xvesa drivers on another distro, are they included on the livecd and if so how to use them? | 14:20 |
| chilli0 | coz_, Yeah. | 14:21 |
| erUSUL | TiK: no problem | 14:21 |
| Mostafa | soreau, i can't run it, whyy | 14:21 |
| * TiK bows to the master | 14:21 | |
| chelito | could any of you know how to forward web traffic to a private server using iptables?? I've been looking for something but nothing work for me, help | 14:21 |
| Mostafa | can you told me the command? | 14:21 |
| coz_ | chilli0, gtk2 is already installed...are you trying to compile something? | 14:21 |
| JoshyFox | What am I looking for | 14:21 |
| tesuji | soreau, it works with other distros just not ubuntu | 14:21 |
| soreau | tesuji: Right, my guess is to boot with video=vesa or whatever | 14:21 |
| JoshyFox | Should I search for adobe? | 14:21 |
| chilli0 | coz_, Yes. | 14:21 |
| oo | Gnea: That makes sense....sorry I just had huge latency there so I didnt se your message. Thanks a lot! | 14:21 |
| paulmcatee | if that doesn't work try in system/ Administration/ Synaptic package manager | 14:21 |
| coz_ | chilli0, ok then it is going to ask for .dev files which is is asking for? | 14:21 |
| neo__ | magnetron: maybe that error was fix in a kernel update, but now there's another one | 14:21 |
| neo__ | magnetron: *was fixed | 14:22 |
| chilli0 | coz_, checking for PACKAGE... configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.4.0) were not met: | 14:22 |
| coz_ | chilli0, ok hold on | 14:22 |
| chilli0 | kay. | 14:22 |
| paulmcatee | Applications is at the top left of your screen, in the drag down menu you'll find Ubuntu software center at the bottom | 14:22 |
| JoshyFox | I know, I changed into synaptic because I prefer it :B | 14:22 |
| red2kic | paulmcatee: (or bottom left for me) ;) | 14:23 |
| paulmcatee | Should be under Adobe Flash Player | 14:23 |
| paulmcatee | No worries | 14:23 |
| JoshyFox | Right, its reinstalled | 14:23 |
| paulmcatee | OK | 14:23 |
| magicstuff | can anyone take a few minutes to help me fix this dual boot? | 14:23 |
| paulmcatee | Any luck? | 14:23 |
| JoshyFox | Should I restart Chrome? | 14:23 |
| bihari | JoshuaL, why dont you download it from synptic package manager | 14:23 |
| paulmcatee | yes | 14:23 |
| chilli0 | coz_, What I'm trying to do is use my mouse track pad ( on the laptop) as a midi controller. And the program needs this, or is there any other programs you know that can do this? | 14:23 |
| JoshyFox | Ok :D | 14:24 |
| magicstuff | chilli0: not that this helps..but did you see that turntable made out of a mouse? | 14:24 |
| paulmcatee | All good? | 14:24 |
| JoshyFox | Just checking | 14:24 |
| KrimZon | in Lucid, the gui forgets all my shared folder settings (as in i choose 'sharing options' on a folder menu and the resulting dialog looks the same as an unshared folder) - but my shares are still accessible via the network. how do i fix this so the gui remembers? | 14:24 |
| chilli0 | magicstuff, Yeah i did haha. | 14:24 |
| coz_ | chilli0, try sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev | 14:24 |
| bihari | JoshuaL, go and install it from synpatic package manager | 14:24 |
| litel | hey, sometimes with firefox some web sites are bugy, i only get a white page with lines of "?" | 14:24 |
| JoshyFox | No, no change at all | 14:24 |
| chilli0 | coz_, Doing it now. | 14:25 |
| chilli0 | Thanks. | 14:25 |
| KrimZon | also, the folder icons have no emblems to indicate being shared | 14:25 |
| coz_ | chilli0, also...what are you trying to compile? | 14:25 |
| chelito | someone that can work with iptables? | 14:25 |
| chilli0 | coz_, http://home.earthlink.net/~gmoonlit/raton/raton.html | 14:25 |
| erUSUL | !iptables | 14:25 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 14:25 |
| neo__ | magnetron: who can i send the kernel trace to? | 14:25 |
| coz_ | chelito, there are probably man that can but if not try ##linux channel | 14:25 |
| bihari | System ->administration->synpatic package manager | 14:25 |
| chelito | thank you coz_ | 14:25 |
| paulmcatee | OK, so its not the synaptic package, does it change with different sites? | 14:25 |
| coz_ | chilli0, did that work for you? | 14:26 |
| JoshyFox | No, on chatroulette it is terrible and also on places like watchtail | 14:26 |
| JoshyFox | Watchtail is like... Ustream | 14:26 |
| chilli0 | coz_, I have slowish internet. Still downloading =P | 14:26 |
| coz_ | chilli0, ok | 14:26 |
| dirk_ | whats ur prob, paulmcatee? | 14:27 |
| xckpd7 | any verdicts on that new maverick font? I'm on jaunty jackalope and wondering if I can take advantage | 14:27 |
| paulmcatee | How about on just a simple game site ,eg. mouse breaker? | 14:27 |
| === guest is now known as tuesday03082010 | ||
| chilli0 | coz_, Yeah it did. But now getting alsa issues =S | 14:28 |
| JoshyFox | Beep | 14:28 |
| JoshyFox | I've not killed it have I? D: | 14:28 |
| chilli0 | coz_, configure: error: ** Couldn't find ALSA library libasound. ** | 14:28 |
| coz_ | chidge_, right you will need alsa development files hold on | 14:28 |
| JoshyFox | Ugh | 14:29 |
| JoshyFox | Nooo! | 14:29 |
| JoshyFox | He quit ; ; | 14:29 |

| paulmcatee | But they are rather intense on the video, I'm just guessing it might be the connection rather than flash. | 14:32 |
| coz_ | chilli0, no problem... if you get stuck like with compiling simply go to google type ubuntu and then the error message... you should get hits | 14:32 |
| Pici | Zeus__: We do not support Mint here. Please use their support channel in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 14:32 |

| bareego | AviMarcus, for a whole partition your can use dd | 14:38 |

| jamdatadude | I've gotta buy a laptop from bestbuy, but I want to get something that will run well with ubuntu | 14:40 |
| bareego | you could move home to a seperate partition | 14:40 |
| littlepenguin | mouse to midi??i know devices like music keyboards to midi converter or sthg like this | 14:40 |
| cmpsalvestrini | jamdatadude: any good old laptop will do | 14:40 |
| soreau | tesuji: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 14:41 |
| chilli0 | littlepenguin, Yes mouse to midi. | 14:41 |
| bareego | otherwise find out which folders you don't need to backup then just make a lil script with cp | 14:41 |
| AviMarcus | home is on it's own partition. grsync simulation grabbed that too for / | 14:41 |
| littlepenguin | but mouse to midi never heard for what reason to do this?? | 14:41 |
| jamdatadude | cmpsalvestrini: are their brands that tend to be more friendly? | 14:41 |
| littlepenguin | @chili | 14:41 |
| AviMarcus | or do you mean a separate partition in some other way, bareego ? | 14:41 |
| chilli0 | littlepenguin, So I can use my mouse on the laptop as a fader for mixxing songs. | 14:42 |

| sektorNBA | how do i turn off default firewall on ubuntu 10.04 ? | 14:42 |
| chilli0 | DJING @ littlepenguin | 14:42 |
| bareego | with dd you can make a bitcopy of a whole partition, then zip it to make it small | 14:42 |
| cmpsalvestrini | jamdatadude: Dell, Acer and Toshiba are linux friendly AFAIK the rest work reasonably well but have their own quirks | 14:42 |
| soreau | tesuji: or keep pressing esc at the screen till it goes into test mode | 14:42 |
| littlepenguin | chilli but for what mouse to midi=?=? | 14:42 |
| blunder | what is the repo for adobe acrobat | 14:42 |
| jamdatadude | cool there are several toshibas at the local store | 14:42 |
| chilli0 | littlepenguin, For what I just said? | 14:42 |
| cmpsalvestrini | blunder: ubuntu-restricted | 14:43 |
| bareego | so the emtpy space gets compressed | 14:43 |
| blunder | thanks | 14:43 |
| ssureshot | does mailutuls need to be installed for the php mail function to work properly with postfix? | 14:43 |
| AviMarcus | cool, didn't realize zip would do that. I'm gonna look at some more gui's first | 14:43 |
| edbian | bareego, It's a bit more complicated than that. The file gets smaller is the bottom line. | 14:43 |
| cmpsalvestrini | jamdatadude: I recommend a clean install, dual boot is a pain | 14:43 |

| * abhijit not expecting !anyone factoid! | 15:00 | |
| uRock | Artel, the only wat to resize is to first shrink the ubuntu partition within it. You will have to shrink it to the right, which will make space on the left. | 15:00 |

| Artel | so I shrinked it the wrong way | 15:01 |

| soreau | tesuji: well for the record, ubuntu has not dropped support for intel. But if modesetting is off by default that just means they built the kernel wrong or have it off for any other ignorant reason | 15:02 |

| serkus | Pici: ну ну | 15:02 |
| abhijit | hello please help? | 15:02 |
| uRock | Artel, if you only just installed ubuntu, then it may be easier to just use the LiveCD to delete the ubuntu and extended partition, then create the extended one again, but make it smaller to the right, so you can make the Windows partition larger. | 15:02 |
| jiffe | after reboot I am now getting errors saying 'ureadahead-other main process (xxx) terminated with status 4 | 15:03 |

| magicstuff | its always shown teh win 7 loader..when I try the loader...I get "no such partition" | 15:13 |

| magicstuff | no... | 15:14 |
| magicstuff | still had that win7 problem | 15:14 |

| BentSpace | I'm on Ubuntu 10.4 and have Intel Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator 950 GM in my Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop. Video playback on youtube is smooth, unless I try to watch HD in fullscreen. The 720p is watchable but studders and is really annoying. 1080p only puts up about 1 frame per second. Doesn't have to do with download speed as I can let it download completely and then play with the same results. Any ideas what the p | 15:16 |
| BentSpace | roblem might be, please? Thank you. | 15:16 |
| edbian | magicstuff, Try and reboot and see if it fixes it. What is /dev/sda2? Use the live CD and look at the hdd using gparted. | 15:16 |
| mahn | edbian, magicstuff: or you can terminal 'sudo fdisk -l' | 15:17 |
| edbian | magicstuff, The only thing you need to get working to dual boot is to have grub launch the windows bootloader. There is nothing else going on really than this. | 15:17 |
| magicstuff | mahn: what does that do? | 15:17 |
| edbian | mahn, But but it is hard to tell windows 7 from windows 7 recovery from windows 7 boot partition etc etc. | 15:17 |
| oo | Does anyone know of a good repository for apparmor profiles? | 15:17 |
| edbian | magicstuff, It lists all the partitions on all the hdd connected to the computer. | 15:17 |
| edbian | magicstuff, Handy command. but like I said difficult to tell the difference between partitions. | 15:17 |
| oo | It seems awesome but as far as I can tell Ubuntu doesn't come with a working repository | 15:17 |
| edbian | magicstuff, sudo fdisk -l | 15:17 |
| tesuji | i have questions about USB-creator - i am running ubuntu but i want to make usb to use xubuntu | 15:18 |

| oo | BentSpace: Also that sounds like a horrible bug, would you like to try a more recent video driver as a possible workaround? | 15:18 |
| sektorNBA | I am installing a lot of tools using apt-get. Did it store all inatallation packages? Which dir? | 15:19 |
| magicstuff | ok...in gparted...I hvae my dellutility part...(sda1), ntfs (recovery) sda2, os (ntfs) with a yellow exclamation point by it...extended (sda4)...sda5 (ext4)...and 3 gigs unalloacted (swap?) | 15:19 |

| ddavids | hi, pls can anyone help me with the command to install LAMP using the CLI? | 15:22 |

| abhijit | !lamp | ddavids | 15:23 |
| ubottu | ddavids: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 15:23 |
| wazzup | hello can i just install ubuntu 10.4 next to windows 7 ? | 15:23 |
| peepingtom | wazzup: yes you can | 15:23 |
| edbian | magicstuff, So now I have to look up how to edit grub 2... | 15:23 |
| wazzup | because i read there were some problems with the dual boot menu | 15:23 |
| mahn | edbian, magicstuff: what are you tring to do? | 15:23 |
| wazzup | or was that fixed in 10.4 ? | 15:23 |
| edbian | wazzup, No, it's called dual boot. | 15:23 |
| BentSpace | oo, so my specs should be capable of smooth HD playback, right? | 15:24 |
| magicstuff | edbian: when I right click on sda3 (win7) in gparted I get (ntfsresive...etc...cluster accounting failed at 633392....ntfs is inconsistent...etc | 15:24 |
| edbian | mahn, grub-update finds windows 7 on partition /dev/sd3 but really it's on /dev/sda2. How can we manually tell it that? | 15:24 |
| peepingtom | wazzup: It generally goes pretty smoothly. There are 2 methods, using "Wubi" or a standard install where you repartition your drive | 15:24 |
| magicstuff | mahn: I tried to setup a dual boot today..messed it up somehow.. | 15:24 |
| edbian | magicstuff, Not a huge deal. Ubuntu will put up a stink about it because there is some problem with the disk but windows will happily chug along pretending it doesn't notice that problem. Let's fix grub first than handle the cluster count. | 15:25 |
| peepingtom | BentSpace: Honestly its hard to say with Flash :) I have an i5 and it still lags sometimes | 15:25 |
| magicstuff | is there a way to totally delete my ubuntu installation, and then try to do it again with the livecd? | 15:25 |
| magicstuff | ok thanks | 15:25 |
| peepingtom | BentSpace: but not 1fps like you're seeing | 15:25 |
| wazzup | so i can just install ubuntu 10.4 next to windows 7 without any problems with teh dual boot menu ? | 15:25 |
| edbian | magicstuff, The partition will still boot. We just have to point grub at it. | 15:25 |
| mahn | edbian, magicstuff: looking | 15:25 |
| edbian | magicstuff, Not really. Deleting Ubuntu still leaves the boot loader on the hdd. The bootloader is grub. Grub can't find windows. BAsically if you delete ubuntu you won't have any working OS on the system. | 15:26 |
| dayofswords | ok, heres my issue. when i do the command 'java -version | head -n1' i get the full 3 lines which it would normally output. i tried 'java -version | wc' and i got 0 0 0 , no lines, no words, no chars. . i tried less and more and they worked to get the text. but i can do 'java -version | cat | head -n1 | less', it displayed all 3 lines. shouldn't the text from java- version have been piped into wc, head (did it with awk too)? | 15:26 |
| === Guest67078 is now known as on_my_own | ||
| Emanon | hola all, so i'm on 10.04 with an encrypted system, and everything works great until i apply my proprietary nvidia driver, then the encryption key entry screen (on bootup) has the wrong resolution (which it didnt before) any fixes come to mind? | 15:26 |
| edbian | magicstuff, Be patient. I know you feel like you're 2000 ft in and falling but we're very close. The answer / problem is quite clear to me. | 15:26 |
| peepingtom | wazzup: probably, it only becomes complicated when people have "recovery" partitoons on laptops, where grub misdetects a recovery partition as a windows installatio. For example, look at edbian's conversation in this room | 15:26 |
| magicstuff | ok thanks! | 15:26 |

| ManDay | magicstuff: you know what they say about people without trustworthy sources? | 15:41 |

| ManDay | magicstuff: ok i hope you dont want to be like the media | 15:42 |

| Kenjiro | good morning/afternoon | 15:44 |
| magicstuff | hey | 15:44 |
| kyentei | Kenjiro: Hi :-) | 15:44 |
| Kenjiro | guys, if I want to upgrade an Ubuntu server 9.10 to 10.4, a simple "apt-get dist-upgrade" would do the trick? | 15:44 |
| Kenjiro | (it is a testing server, not production) | 15:45 |
| kyentei | Kenjiro: You could modify your sources.list too... | 15:45 |
| Pici | Kenjiro: No. Use sudo do-release-upgrade | 15:45 |
| mahn | magicstuff: sorry about the delay, had something to do | 15:45 |
| magicstuff | np | 15:45 |
| Pici | !dist-upgrade | Kenjiro | 15:45 |
| ubottu | Kenjiro: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. Please see !upgrade for the proper way to upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu. | 15:45 |
| Kenjiro | !upgrade | 15:46 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 15:46 |
| Pici | Kenjiro: The upgrade for servers is just 'do-release-upgrade' | 15:46 |
| Kenjiro | ubottu: thanks | 15:46 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 15:46 |
| mahn | magicstuff: so are you re-installing ubuntu, or what is going on? | 15:46 |

I've purged and reinstalled nvidia drivers, xorg, and kernel modules to no avail. Anyone think they can help me? | 16:27 |

| mattgyver | that would load that entry into your path on each login which would do the same thing really.. just add it at the very bottom of the file. | 16:33 |
| jigal | mattgyver: so i just add that line to the bash_profile on the bottom of the file? | 16:34 |

| picard1421 | hey i have GDM-2.20 installed now (the themeable one)... | 17:20 |
| picard1421 | i dont have a full desktop though.. only GDM... how do i go about changing themes without the full desktop.. | 17:21 |
| slow-motion | bye | 17:21 |
| picard1421 | i add hte theeme folder to /usr/gdm/themes ... but i need to edit a config file somewhere to tell it to use the new themes installed??? i have no idea where to go and i have searched google for a while trying to find the answer?? | 17:21 |

| picard1421 | how do i change the login theme | 17:23 |

| picard1421 | which is the themable one... | 17:23 |
| picard1421 | i have added the theme folder i want to usr/share/gdm/themes/ | 17:23 |
| Curt | strange, I installed ubuntu just fine from my optical drive, yet my optical drive doesn't seem to work in ubuntu... | 17:23 |
| econdudeawesome | picard1421 ah. Um, you can try googling it--I found a command that opened the gnome "change background" when gdm started | 17:23 |
| picard1421 | i just do know how to tell the system to use that theme when logging in | 17:23 |

| econdudeawesome | picard1421 I found a site that opened the program to change all that--probably when you open that program you could install the theme, as with regular ubuntu "change background" options | 17:27 |
| picard1421 | but there has to be a config file somehwere that tellls which theme to use.. and i cannot find that file.. or a guide to manually change the theme.. Remember i dont have a desktop installed | 17:27 |

| vivek243 | kyentei why it is necessory to use that one? | 17:29 |
| duffydack | zamanian, i take it you added the ppa? updated? I personally use the stable version, too many quirks with bleeding edge dailys | 17:29 |
| picard1421 | i dont want the full blown Gnome desktop.. only GDM | 17:29 |
| kyentei | vivek243: Because a normal user does not have write permissions in /var/www ;-) | 17:29 |
| vivek243 | kyentei but i am admin na at my pc? | 17:30 |
| econdudeawesome | picard1421 this is by choice? Ah, I see. Well, I'm not sure what program handles that. You might check out the LXDE wiki to see if you can find the LXDE analogue, and figure out what gnome program controls that | 17:30 |
| zamanian | duffydack: Yep, sudo add-apt-repository'd it. Updated. I love the bleeding edge. :) But all of a sudden the latest package won't arrive. :/ | 17:30 |

| FoolsRun | Hi, where does Ubuntu store its default Applications menu? I have a program that I uninstalled but new users keep seeing it in their applications menu. | 17:32 |
| vivek243 | kyentei i mean to say, if i type sudo once, then it has to execute several times na? | 17:32 |
| kyentei | vivek243: Why don't you try alt+f2 and enter 'gksu gedit' (or 'gksu kate' if you use KDE instead of gnome) and then modify your files? | 17:32 |
| vivek243 | ubottu i knw about sudo.. | 17:32 |

| r15 | hi, i converted few rpm files to deb format, while installing .deb file, i have few post scripts which is calling /bin/sh | 17:33 |
| vivek243 | kyentei to goto KDE i need to log out and select the session na? | 17:33 |
| kyentei | vivek243: Then you start gedit/kate as root. So you can modify these files. | 17:33 |
| picard1421 | mmkk | 17:33 |
| r15 | i checked /bin/sh is a soft link of /bin/dash | 17:34 |

| vivek243 | kyentei u said above "use KDE instead of gnome".. | 17:34 |
| picard1421 | that is w gconf-editor? | 17:35 |

| lid | I have a machine that normally had a different ethernet adapter in it, which I replaced with another (for reasons too long and not necessary to explain). The card shows as having a kernel module loaded for it with lspci -k, and I'm configuring the network with the /etc/network/interfaces file to just use DHCP, but I can't get it to work because the card doesn't show up with ipconfig -- i.e., it doesn't have a name like eth0 or anything. How can I get it to work? | 18:01 |
| Slart | Sander_: then you might need to ask the people who support that gameserver.. | 18:01 |
| Sander_ | itś my own VPS | 18:01 |

| tesuji | i have just done a proper install to a thumbdrive and it won't boot - any suggestions? | 18:01 |
| rhodan | lid: That's no surprise. ipconfig is a Microsoft Windows NT® command. | 18:01 |
| kyentei | mudnick: or right click somewhere on an empty space, select "create document" and then enter the filename.zip ? | 18:02 |
| kyentei | mudnick: Then drag your photo's in it. | 18:02 |
| lid | rhodan: silly me, I meant ifconfig | 18:02 |
| rhodan | lid: ifconfig -a | 18:02 |
| lid | rhodan: I did try ifconfig | 18:02 |
| Slart | Sander_: start.sh is probably just a bash script.. we don't know what is inside that script... perhaps it's just a line that prints out "Killed".. | 18:02 |

| tesuji | i have just done a proper install to a thumbdrive and it won't boot - any suggestions? | 18:03 |
| lid | rhodan: it showed up with that, so I guess I just use /etc/network/interfaces to use eth1 (which is what it shows up as) instead of eth0? | 18:03 |

| tesuji | rhodan, /dev/sdb | 18:10 |
| bronchmx | yes they don't work | 18:10 |
| sid3k | rhodan: why? | 18:10 |
| rhodan | tesuji: syslinux /dev/sdb | 18:10 |
| bronchmx | so how do you redirect subdomains? | 18:10 |
| bronchmx | is it possible? | 18:10 |
| oCean_ | bronchmx: you would have to add all subdomains, or setup your own nameserver maybe. There's no easy fix | 18:10 |
| Pici | pyghassen: Hm. Can you restart apache2 and try again? | 18:10 |
| rhodan | sid3k: Xorg should start fine if you remove all configs. | 18:11 |

| Epsilon987 | hey, quick q, how do i figure out the eth mappings, eg. eth0 is mapped to netgear, eth1 is mapped to intel card, etc... | 18:11 |
| tesuji | rhodan, syslinux is for a fat filesystem - this is a regular ubuntu install, ext4 filesystem | 18:11 |
| rhodan | tesuji: Do it. | 18:12 |
| rhodan | It will tell you whether there is an MBR. | 18:12 |
| mbeierl | I'm happy 64 bit running on a laptop with 4gb of ram. problem is I keep running out of memory very quickly (eclipse and jboss development). If I switch to 32 bit would I use less memory | 18:12 |

| mbeierl | Slart: k thanks! | 18:13 |
| tesuji | rhodan, "syslinux: this doesn't look like a valid FAT filesystem" | 18:13 |

However the most recent version (including the source in the Ubuntu repository) fully supports amd64 and I tested it after running dpkg-buildpackage myself. Who should I go to, to get it released into the amd64 repository? | 18:13 |

| Slart | mbeierl: and those two apps use 4GB of memory between them? sigh.. talk about bloatware | 18:14 |
| rhodan | tesuji: aptitude install qemu-kvm, if you don't mind. | 18:14 |
| rhodan | It's an emulator. | 18:14 |
| rhodan | That way you can try if it boots in a VM. | 18:15 |
| mbeierl | Slart: exactly. memory hogs indeed | 18:15 |

| oCean_ | rhodan: abhi__ Please stay on topic | 18:30 |
| tesuji | rhodan the usb-creator made a bootable thumb - do you think it would work if i used usb-creator again, the used dd to copy off the first however so many bytes, and use dd again to copy that block to my other thumb? | 18:30 |
| rhodan | abhi__: It's the only way things are going to change. You could still use Windows but tell him that you don't like it. That's how Ubuntu will prevail! | 18:31 |
| rhodan | tesuji: Did you use usb-creator now or did you do a real install? | 18:31 |
| tesuji | rhodan, this time i did a real install | 18:31 |
| abhi__ | rhodan, :) | 18:31 |
| abhi__ | ubottu, thnz for private msg. i'm using tab now | 18:32 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:32 |
| tesuji | rhodan, usb-creator makes a bootable device, real install does not | 18:32 |
| rhodan | tesuji: Why would a real install not do that? | 18:32 |
| rhodan | It would install GRUB2 into the MBR and booting would be no problem. | 18:33 |
| rhodan | It's usb-creator that can't even handle partition tables. | 18:33 |
| tesuji | rhodan, if i knew that i wouldn't be here asking for help :) but my guess is that something different is needed to boot of a thumb than off a harddisk | 18:33 |
| rhodan | tesuji: Nope, GRUB2 is perfectly fine. | 18:33 |
| tesuji | rhodan, the fact remains that it won't boot... | 18:33 |
| jiffe | rhodan: it is a vmware virtual machine | 18:34 |
| alket | is there any Ubuntu Games Remix , or an ubuntu that comes only with games ? | 18:34 |
| rhodan | But that partition table seems suspect. My recommendation to you is to dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M count=1 | 18:34 |
| rhodan | Then you fdisk it, creating a new MBT partition table | 18:34 |
| rhodan | *MBR | 18:34 |
| rhodan | But no partitions. Then usb-creator should succeed in making it bootable. | 18:35 |
| rhodan | If you do a real install, partition the drive manually. | 18:35 |
| rhodan | You really don't want swap there. | 18:35 |
| cmpayc | Hello. How do I install G++-4.4 and libstdc++-dev ? They have circular dependencies. | 18:35 |
| rhodan | And probably only one single partition. | 18:35 |
| abhijit | cmpayc, sudo apt-get buil-dep g++ (may be) | 18:36 |
| freax | freax | 18:36 |
| rhodan | cmpayc: Shouldn't you use the developer-metapackages? | 18:36 |
| rhodan | freax: freax | 18:36 |
| tesuji | rhodan, ok you are saying to reintall and partition manually... | 18:36 |
| Laughing_God | I want to know how to create shells in VPS.Is there any tutorial for ir?Please give me the link. | 18:37 |
| rhodan | tesuji: Nope, I'm saying to wipe that table. | 18:37 |
| cmpayc | abhijit: I cannot use apt-get, the computer has no Internet connection, I bring debs on a portable disk. | 18:37 |
| rhodan | tesuji: *telling | 18:37 |
| tesuji | rhodan, let me explain again: i do not want what usb-creator makes; i want a real install | 18:37 |
| cmpayc | rhodan: thanks, I will. | 18:37 |
| tesuji | rhodan then i will have to reinstall | 18:37 |

| Lichurec | Hi.. got a weird situation lately.. I have found that my /etc/resolv.conf got somehow "locked" (chattr +i ) with DNS like 4.2.2.1 & 4.2.2.2 | 18:43 |
| vonguard | marcn: eht0: negotiated 100basetx-fd flow-control, link ok | 18:44 |
| Edward123 | hey | 18:44 |
| Lichurec | I am 1000% sure noone manually locked nor set such DNSs anywhere.. | 18:44 |
| Edward123 | something very odd going on - i just upgraded to the latest version. i can ping external hosts (e.g. www.google.co.uk) fine. however i can't seem to access the web via firefox anymore? | 18:44 |
| rhodan | cmpayc: Dunno, search for develop in synaptic. | 18:44 |
| Toxicsg | Pending purchase, Intel or AMD? | 18:44 |
| MarcN | vonguard: so the kernel sees the NIC and thinks it is okay. has a link (ie cable is plugged in) | 18:44 |
| vonguard | yep | 18:44 |
| Lichurec | network has always been configured automatically via DHCP.. does anyone have any idea on "what" could lock it like that/ | 18:44 |
| vonguard | lights on and everything | 18:44 |
| cmpayc | rhodan: Thanks for nothing. | 18:44 |
| Edward123 | i tried w3m on google.com - it starts to receive cookies then it quits: 'can't load www.google.com' | 18:45 |
| Pici | cmpayc: build-essential is the meta package you want. | 18:45 |
| Edward123 | any tips? | 18:45 |
| vonguard | when i use the network menu to select the ethernet, it tries to sign on and get an address, then stops | 18:45 |

| aeon-ltd | [V13]Axel: lol. but you could just do a dist upgrade anyways] | 18:48 |
| Lichurec | anyone? | 18:48 |
| vonguard | marcn: no msgs about eth- | 18:48 |
| vonguard | marcn: only about wlan, which is all old | 18:48 |
| vonguard | marcn: nothing in the log cept stuff from yesterday | 18:48 |
| [V13]Axel | aeon-ltd: Well, I could've, but I prefer to start from scratch each time I install, because so many things change~ | 18:48 |
| Shapeshifter | So on this laptop I have the latest ubuntu installed and there's a problem with the WLAN. Whenever the laptop resumes from standby, the connection won't automatically be reestablished. I have to untick "wireless activated" and re-tick it. Then it connects just fine. It's a bit annoying. Any ideas? | 18:49 |
| MarcN | vonguard: in one window do sudo tail -f /var/log/daemon.log and in another sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 18:49 |
| [V13]Axel | Shapeshifter: Not a clue. What wireless chipset is it? | 18:49 |
| vonguard | marcn: doing it | 18:50 |
| Boromir | Dudes and dudettes: I need to backup my cell phone contact list. On windows I would use Nokia PC Suite, but I don't think they got any Linux apps. Any suggestions? | 18:50 |

| rezolute | Dudes and dudettes? | 18:51 |
| tesuji | what app does jabber? | 18:51 |
| vonguard | marcn: says some stuff about avahi not being configured i think | 18:52 |
| duffydack | Boromir, tried gammu/wammu ? | 18:52 |
| MarcN | vonguard: should see lines about dhclinent -- bound to, DHCPACK, DHCPREQUEST | 18:52 |
| MarcN | vonguard: using network manager? | 18:52 |
| erUSUL | tesuji: empathy pidgin etc ... | 18:52 |
| Shapeshifter | [V13]Axel: mhh, actually I can't find out which it is. It's an intel chipset (945GM) so I assume it has an intel wlan chip but I don't see any hints in dmesg or lspci and I don't see any loaded modules (iwl3945 or so) in lsmod. | 18:52 |
| vonguard | marcn: a little yeah | 18:52 |
| Boromir | duffydack: Nope, thougt I should ask for suggestions here instead of trying and failing alot. Thnx :o) | 18:52 |
| vonguard | marcn: it looks like tail shows it getting dhcp | 18:52 |
| [V13]Axel | Shapeshifter: Tell me your output from "iwconfig". | 18:53 |
| vonguard | marcn: and avahi is disabling itself | 18:53 |
| thune3 | Lichurec: very strange. it is not possible that you ran a script for setting up some network thing that might have done that? | 18:53 |
| duffydack | Boromir, does your provider offer a sync option? I`m with orange and mine does.. There is also ubuntuone contact sync | 18:53 |
| Shapeshifter | [V13]Axel: wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg, blablabla. There's nothing specific to the chipset. The rest is just about the connection | 18:53 |
| [V13]Axel | Shapeshifter: Okay. Hm.. Google the model of the computer, and see if there's a specifications list from the manufacturer. | 18:54 |
| Boromir | duffydack: Not sure. Never heard of it before, I live in Norway. Dows it automatically upload your contacts from the SIM card? | 18:54 |
| MarcN | vonguard: avahi is some adhoc network naming, not a problem. | 18:54 |
| vonguard | marcn: figured | 18:54 |
| duffydack | Boromir, syncs with a server, from your phone. | 18:54 |
| vonguard | marcn: well it says its getting a dhcp lease | 18:54 |
| vonguard | marcn: but nothing goes through | 18:55 |
| MarcN | What is your DHCP server? a linksys router or such? | 18:55 |
| urzk | hi. if i copy the .thunderbird directory, and then restore it after system reinstall - will all the settings and mail be preserved? can i quickly restore all my mail this way? (this works for windows) | 18:55 |

| MarcN | vonguard: and that IP is not showing up on eht0? | 18:55 |
| vonguard | marcn: but this hasn't worked on any router | 18:55 |
| Lichurec | thune3: nope.. | 18:55 |
| duffydack | Boromir, some providers offer one.. look it up, see if you can configure one in your phone. | 18:55 |
| MarcN | vonguard: what kind ow hw? | 18:55 |
| Shapeshifter | [V13]Axel: do you know which scripts are run upon resume? I looked in /etc/acpi/ but I couldn't figure out which one was responsible for wireless | 18:55 |
| vonguard | asus eee 1005ha | 18:55 |
| Boromir | duffydack: Cool.. I'll check it out just in case :) I think my SIM card is about to die, so it's pretty urgent :oP | 18:55 |
| vonguard | netbook marcn | 18:55 |
| Shapeshifter | [V13]Axel: because I could just '(sleep 10; <wlan-stuff>) &' it, maybe that helps. | 18:56 |
| duffydack | Boromir, no phone memory to back up to ? | 18:56 |
| Shapeshifter | or rmmod/modprobe the module | 18:56 |
| [V13]Axel | Shapeshifter: Not a clue, man. The only script I know that's ever run automatically is /etc/rc.local. That's the only one I've ever heard of. | 18:56 |
| MarcN | vonguard: strange. try turning off the wifi from network manager. by default network manager should switch to the writed connection if it sees both wifi and wired. assumption is it is faster | 18:56 |

| Lichurec | I fixed the conf by: chattr - i /etc/resolv.conf && rm /etc/resolv.conf && rm /etc/resolv.conf* (there were some .tmp files created by the NetworkManager hence it could not edit the main file) | 19:12 |
| thune3 | Lichurec: i have searched an found nothing, except a couple people who couldn't edit /etc/resolv.conf, and had no idea how it got +i attribute. Seemed like they just chattr -i, and went about their business. But it is curious. | 19:13 |

| kyentei | androidJonathan: Isn't that the size? ;-) | 19:48 |
| ilovefairuz | dave305: you can install ANYTHING on the desktop version | 19:48 |
| Pici | androidJonathan: The number is the file size in bytes. | 19:48 |
| Grouper | ALSO, the connection is now listed as ra0 instead of wlan0 | 19:48 |
| dave305 | ok thanks alot for the help | 19:49 |
| dave305 | keep well | 19:49 |
| kyentei | androidJonathan: If you execute ls -lh (h of human) you get the size in MB, GB, etc ;-) | 19:49 |
| rhodan | Yadira: No, I am trying to give you the neccessary hints so you develop more skills than you would if I simply told you the reason. | 19:49 |
| Grouper | i tried installing wicd, which seems to work but when i try to connect the entire computer just freezes at the point where it says something about generating a WPA file in wicd | 19:49 |
| rhodan | Grouper: Did you stop networkmanager first? | 19:50 |
| ilovefairuz | Grouper: pastebin: lshw -C network | 19:50 |
| androidJonathan | kyentei: I dont' think you guys see it. Like you have permissions, some number, owner group, size, date, and name. What is 'some number' for? | 19:50 |
| TechMiX | androidJonathan: the count of directories | 19:50 |
| Mr_Sonoma | -rw-r--r-- 1 chris chris 131072 2010-07-30 23:02 brasero.iso i think he's meaning the 1 after the permissions. well that's obviously not the file size | 19:50 |
| rhodan | Yadira: You still moping? ;) | 19:51 |
| kyentei | androidJonathan: what is the command you are giving? | 19:51 |
| Grouper | that was my first thought, so i rebooted and stopped nm-applet but i still get the same problem, so i tried turning network manager off in the Startup Applications but I still get the same problem | 19:51 |
| androidJonathan | kyentei: ls -l | 19:51 |
| dave305 | 1 more question: when I boot from the Ubuntu cd, whats the diff between the Ubuntu Server & Ubuntu Cloud? | 19:51 |
| rhodan | Mr_Sonoma: What are you trying to do again? | 19:51 |
| Grouper | first I just tried rebooting but wifi still wouldn't show up in networkmanager | 19:51 |
| kyentei | androidJonathan: Ah, I'm understanding you now. | 19:51 |
| Yadira | well my pc it says 4.4G what do i need to understand,,i dont fit on a 4.7DVD thats all my screen tells me so far | 19:51 |
| Mr_Sonoma | rhodan, sorry talking about andriodjonathan's question | 19:51 |
| rhodan | Yadira: Does it say 4.4G? I doubt that. | 19:51 |
| rhodan | Yadira: Right click the DVD symbol. | 19:52 |
| rhodan | What does it say, exactly? | 19:52 |
| Yadira | i send u a screenshot NOW so u can see | 19:52 |

| Edward123 | rhodan, i'm at home - i have a router, there's no http proxying on my network here. my isp does do nasty transparent http proxying, but this machine (winxp) can see the web fine, and so could the ubuntu one until a couple of days ago, shortly after a dist-upgrade | 20:36 |
| rhodan | SeySayux: Did you do it as root? | 20:36 |
| nascentmind | rhodan, i don't want to control anything. I want to just monitor. I want to uninstall fancontrol if I can | 20:36 |
| rhodan | Edward123: What is in /etc/resolv.conf? | 20:36 |
| Sid123 | can Netbeans be used to design Uml or ER diagrams? | 20:36 |
| zdravi | Shact: It sounds like it might be. My first guess was that you just don't have it set to boot quietly anymore, but if it's not booting at all, I'm not sure what the root problem is :x | 20:36 |
| Yadira | I PM someone and it was bad,,why people PM me with out permission | 20:36 |
| Shact | rhodan: I don't know what a backtrace is | 20:36 |

| SeySayux | rhodan: okay, seems I managed to disable the nm watchdog and the remote claims a connection, let's test | 20:51 |
| XuMuK | SubCool, is it freeware? | 20:51 |
| khalidmian_ | t appears that your graphics driver does not support the necessary extensions to use this tool. Do you want to use your graphics driver vendor's tool instead? | 20:51 |
| SubCool | XuMuK, you can get the server for free i think. | 20:52 |
| rhodan | SeySayux: Cool, dhcp-stuff, then. | 20:52 |
| deanimean | vmware player is free and has the ability to create vms now.. I`d go for that personally. | 20:52 |

| Dr_Willis | SubCool: ive rarely ever used a vpn. last one i tried. it was just a few clicks amnd it worked. :) (some free vpn service) | 20:54 |

| SeySayux | rhodan: any idea if this is possible at boot time? | 20:54 |

| Edward123 | uh huh | 20:57 |
| XuMuK | SubCool, thanks! | 20:57 |
| Edward123 | got any more tips for me rhodan? | 20:57 |
| soadkombucha | MichealH: OK I can fix windows, but then when I reinstall ubuntu and try to boot into it through grub, I get an "error invalid signature" thing | 20:57 |
| zdravi | Hm. Okay, oddity. Pulling up the detailed debug info on wpa_supplicant, it's not attaching to my set network because "non-WPA network not allowed", despite the fact that it's most def. a wpa network. | 20:57 |
| SeySayux | rhodan: okay, to be honest with you, the computer I'm talking about is a laptop with a broken screen... Broken as in I can only see the upper left corner. That's enough to launch a terminal, but not enough to see the NM dialog asking me for my key each time | 20:57 |
| Edward123 | rhodan, seems sort of like ubuntu isn't even reading my resolv.conf perhaps? | 20:58 |
| MichealH | soadkombucha, No idea | 20:58 |
| soadkombucha | MichealH: Damn it | 20:58 |
| khalidmian_ | how do i install windows drivers | 20:58 |
| Edward123 | wild.... rhodan i install bind9, pointed my resolv.conf to localhost and now it works. how odd!! | 20:58 |
| chris_osx | khalidmian_: on windows? | 20:58 |
| SubCool | XuMuK, np- | 20:58 |
| khalidmian_ | chris_osx: in ubuntu | 20:58 |
| rhodan | Edward123: Wat. | 20:59 |
| trojan_spike | SeySayux, hook your laptop to a t.v or pc screen?? | 20:59 |
| rhodan | Edward123: You installed bind9? | 20:59 |
| zdravi | khalidmian_: linux doesn't usually work like that. What drivers? | 20:59 |
| phaidros | SeySayux: then again, try wicd-curses .. it is like nm, simple to use and is the ncurses gui (terminal) for wicd | 20:59 |
| rhodan | You could have told. | 20:59 |
| Edward123 | rhodan, yeah - just this very second | 20:59 |
| deanimean | SeySayux, use the interfaces file, if you dont want a tool to manage wifi | 20:59 |
| MichealH | khalidmian_, Computer> RightClick > Manage>Device Manager> Look for Device> RightClick> Update Driver Software | 20:59 |

| rhodan | SeySayux: You can tunnel X11 over ssh and do it that way. | 21:00 |
| SeySayux | trojan_spike: Let me rephrase that. It's a broken MacBook, and I don't have a connector. I'm going to buy one soon though, probably | 21:00 |
| MichealH | khalidmian_, Oh Ubuntu? | 21:00 |
| ilovefairuz | stercor: no option to ignore? | 21:00 |
| MichealH | Look for the deb and install, khalidmian_ | 21:00 |
| chris_osx | khalidmian_: what drivers do you want to install? generally speaking, you have to install linux drivers not windows drivers on linux | 21:00 |
| SeySayux | rhodan: Yes, I can tunnel X11 over ssh. Oh erm, that does require a network connection, right? Like the very one we're trying to set up here? | 21:00 |
| SubCool | anyone VPN? stupid Q- before i mess up my network. | 21:00 |

| Kasgeck | zdravi: How? | 21:05 |
| zdravi | Kasgeck: Unless you downloaded a version that's not for your OS, which is possible if it didn't come with an extension. I'd double check that first. | 21:05 |
| rhodan | So a display sucks without wobbly windows? | 21:05 |

| zdravi | Zeus__: If you boot from the CD, can you read that partition? It could be hardware, or just a wonky partition setup | 21:06 |
| rhodan | Kasgeck: You don't need unetbootin for that, for sure, and even if you did, you would better be off using the version in the repos, if they have it. | 21:06 |

| era | hi, what's the url for the launchpad build queue? | 21:07 |
| Kasgeck | rhodan: Then how do you suggest I do it? | 21:07 |
| rhodan | Zeus__: Probably Ubuntu automounting again and then forgetting about it. Don't mount any stuff on sda while partitioning. If you can, wipe the partition table and make it one big partition. | 21:08 |
| Zeus__ | zdravi, I cannot get into some of the partitions on the hard drive. Do you think I should use g-parted on the live session? | 21:08 |
| oCean_ | MrJW: maybe ask in ##programming? | 21:08 |
| zdravi | Zeus__: Are you going to be saving information from the hard drive or are you partitioning from scratch? | 21:08 |

| Zeus__ | zdravi, partitioning from the scratch | 21:08 |

| rhodan | gparted is completely pussy-whipped. | 21:09 |
| zdravi | Zeus__: Then I'd use fdisk or gparted to wipe it clean and try to make a full partition out of it from there | 21:09 |

| Kyle__ | I'm going through an expert install, and it ran out of space, so I flipped to another VT and expanded. Now I went to continue, and it's still failing. Any ideas? | 21:11 |
| oCean_ | MrJW: you are trying to *compile* ..that has nothing to do with ubuntu. Find the documentation on whatever it was that you downloaded, or contact the programmers | 21:11 |
| khalidmian_ | yes | 21:11 |
| es | rhodan: I don't see any 32bit package in the repo and the one download from mozilla.com is 64bit automatically do you have a suggestion where to get it and how to make it work? | 21:11 |
| MrJW | oCean_, I've read through a few tutorials online about compiling source on the internet, but they don't seem to connect with the source i have.. there is no make or configure files anywhere | 21:11 |
| rhodan | Dr_Willis: Good luck. | 21:11 |
| rhodan | Don't forget to use numeric IDs. | 21:12 |
| Edward123 | rhodan, permenantly? | 21:12 |
| khalidmian_ | Dr_Willis: yes pls | 21:12 |
| rhodan | And have fun extracting those files. | 21:12 |
| Dr_Willis | khalidmian_: err.. open terminal type 'nvidia-settings' | 21:12 |
| MrJW | oCean_, i know the programmer, he made a game engine (EXE) and released the source code, I'm trying to compile it in Ubuntu 9.10 | 21:12 |
| rhodan | Sequential or nothing. TAR is useless for backups. | 21:12 |
| Destructo | hello all. | 21:12 |
| rhodan | For a quick backup, use squashfs. | 21:12 |
| histo | khalidmian_: you need that package to run it. You can also find it in system > admin I believe | 21:12 |
| Destructo | one quick question. when i do iwconfig . my pcmcia card shows up. why doesnt it give me internet | 21:12 |
| ilovefairuz | MrJW: pastebin the output of: ls -al | 21:12 |
| Kyle__ | rhodan: I seriously disagree. | 21:12 |
| MrJW | oCean_ the programmer doesn't use Linux. | 21:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Kyle__: yea.. i was going to also.. but dident feel its wiorth the argument. :) | 21:13 |
| oCean_ | MrJW: that makes no difference. It's offtopic here. Contact the programmer. Stop asking here | 21:13 |
| rhodan | Kyle__: Show me how to selectively extract some files in a TAR without seeking the whole thing first. | 21:13 |
| fact | any opinion ? | 21:13 |
| ilovefairuz | MrJW: it all depends on the build system, regardless of GNU/Linux or Windows. Is there a CMakeLists.txt ? | 21:13 |
| khalidmian_ | Dr_Willis: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. | 21:13 |
| Dr_Willis | khalidmian_: so did you run 'sudo nvidia-xconfig' ? | 21:14 |
| rhodan | es: I'm sure there is a 32-bit version in the repo. | 21:14 |
| khalidmian_ | Dr_Willis: i have run sudo xconfig-nvidia under terminal various times no chng | 21:14 |

| Frankiitaa | hi | 21:14 |
| Kyle__ | rhodan: If you're having problems based on the seek time in a tarball, prehaps you need to look at how you're creating them. | 21:14 |
| oCean_ | MrJW: stop it now | 21:14 |
| Dr_Willis | khalidmian_: its possible you dont have the drivers installed or they are the wrong version. check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and the X logs. | 21:14 |
| Frankiitaa | some body knows how to get trasnmision 1.0.3 in ubuntu 9.04? | 21:14 |
| rhodan | Kyle__: Seek time? | 21:15 |
| rhodan | What? | 21:15 |
| Kyle__ | Anyway. Anyone know how to restart the installer without rebooting? | 21:15 |
| jcxl | hey guys, I'm having trouble installing BackupPC | 21:15 |
| Kyle__ | rhodan: the time to seek through the tar-file. | 21:15 |
| rhodan | You know anything about TAR? | 21:15 |
| deanimean | Frankiitaa, a ppa ? | 21:15 |
| aeon-ltd | Frankiitaa: look for a ppa | 21:15 |
| Mxyzpltk | I just installed ubuntu 10.04 netbook edition on a very old thinkpad, works just fine but the interface lists things backwards from my acer netbook, and the scrolling with the mouse is backwards, if I move the mouse down it scrolls up, where do I start looking? | 21:15 |
| OpenBluntSurgery | rhodan: what u need to know about tar? | 21:15 |
| Kyle__ | rhodan: From your statements, more than you. | 21:15 |
| MrJW | ilovefairuz there is no CMakeList.txt, or even a readme, it was programmed by a weekend coder :) | 21:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Frankiitaa: theres PPA's for transmission, but not sure if they support 9.04 or not. Been using the latest transmission in 10.04 lately.. but im going to dump it and try Deluge for a while. | 21:15 |
| thune3 | fact: fetch the .debs (that's what they are right?) to local computer and run dpkg *.deb . I'm sure there is some way to create a mountpoint for sftp, but that's getting complicated. | 21:15 |
| rhodan | OpenBluntSurgery: It has no effing index. | 21:15 |
| thune3 | fact: dpkg -i i mean | 21:15 |
| MrJW | oCean_, could you direct me where i could get some compiler help then? | 21:15 |
| rhodan | You have to seek from the start forward to find a file. | 21:15 |
| crankharder | why the sam hell does apt-get install vim-ruby install all of gnome. that makes no sense :( | 21:16 |
| oCean_ | MrJW: I did | 21:16 |
| Frankiitaa | what is ppa? | 21:16 |
| Dr_Willis | !ppa | Frankiitaa | 21:16 |
| ubottu | Frankiitaa: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and should be used at your own risk. | 21:16 |
| rhodan | TAR is used for streamers! Tapes! Magnetic tapes! | 21:16 |
| siteswapper | Hi everyone! I want to use postfix on my notebook. How can I instruct it to send mail via an external smtp-server? | 21:16 |
| Mxyzpltk | for example, in System it lists first the administration icons and then preferences... | 21:16 |
| OpenBluntSurgery | rhodan: --index-file=FILE send verbose output to FILE | 21:16 |
| rhodan | OpenBluntSurgery: That's a hack. | 21:16 |
| Dr_Willis | are we haveing a 'targument' in the channel? :P | 21:17 |
| rhodan | And you can't even mount it. SquashFS is much more suited. | 21:17 |
| es | rhodan: copy&paste 'aptitude search firefox' i don't see any marked 32b and other version looks like are just virtual | 21:17 |
| MrJW | oCean_, i must have missed your helpful advice, | 21:17 |
| OpenBluntSurgery | rhodan no a hack is using sticky keys to get a command prompt in windows =) | 21:17 |
| rhodan | Instead of TAR I could just use dd and then use losetup. | 21:17 |
| purplefool | i had been running a mobile broadband usb stick on my computer until the motherboard fried. now i am trying to run the stick on an older (and slower) computer but it won't even recognize the stick, let alone connet with the net. does anyone have any ideas as to how to troubleshoot this? | 21:17 |
| * Kyle__ sighs. | 21:18 | |
| OpenBluntSurgery | rhodan my sound dissappeared | 21:18 |
| stercor | How do I determine the scripts used at power-on, | 21:18 |
| rhodan | OpenBluntSurgery: It's a Hörsturz. | 21:18 |
| OpenBluntSurgery | lol | 21:18 |
| oCean_ | MrJW: contact the programmer, does not matter if he uses windows. Or visit channel ##programming. | 21:18 |
| rhodan | You should get your Pulse checked. | 21:18 |
| Dr_Willis | stercor: scripts to do what? theres dozens if not hundereds of them | 21:18 |
| OpenBluntSurgery | I CANT SEE MY SOUND! lmao ;) | 21:18 |
| MrJW | oCean_, thanks | 21:18 |
| rhodan | The computer does not work! | 21:18 |
| rhodan | What doesn't work? | 21:18 |

| sandking | hi | 21:19 |
| OpenBluntSurgery | Nothing Is working guys!! I think ninjaz are in my tubez! | 21:19 |
| Dr_Willis | stercor: 'into my userid' ? You mean to say it 'auto logs in' to your user? | 21:19 |
| stercor | y\ | 21:19 |
| stercor | Dr_Willis: yes. | 21:19 |
| Zeus__ | rhodan, I tried g-parted and it says that it cannot detect any devices. Again, I can boot the live CD and everything seems fine. Any ideas? | 21:19 |
| artinstartin | I can take pictures in HD with the webcam, but not videos (only 320x240) any ideas? | 21:19 |
| rhodan | What the hell. | 21:19 |
| thune3 | purplefool: does it show in "lsusb"? is it showing up as a cdrom? | 21:20 |
| ilovefairuz | MrJW: he's using visual studio, .dsw | 21:20 |
| rhodan | Zeus__: fdisk -l | 21:20 |
| Dr_Willis | stercor: so? theres settings to change that. - system -> admin -> login (i think) | 21:20 |
| OpenBluntSurgery | Zeus__: gparted sucks | 21:20 |
| oCean_ | OpenBluntSurgery: move on please, get serious | 21:20 |
| OpenBluntSurgery | Zeus__: parted magic | 21:20 |
| Zeus__ | will do that now. | 21:20 |
| OpenBluntSurgery | oCean_: yawn | 21:20 |

| khalidmian_ | Dr_Willis: http://imagebin.org/index.php?mode=image&id=108000 | 21:20 |
| zdravi | Zeus__: all the liveCD booting means is that it can access your ram, it's not really related to your hard drive | 21:20 |
| jcxl | so guys, I tried to install BackupPC, uninstalled it, and then tried to install it again, and now it won't start | 21:20 |
| rhodan | OpenBluntSurgery: Very gutsy of you. | 21:20 |
| MrJW | ilovefairuz, thank you for the information :) | 21:20 |
| rhodan | Repeating my rants. | 21:20 |
| histo | Zeus__: what are you trying to do? | 21:20 |
| MrJW | i love fairuz, though she killed my router :P | 21:20 |
| kyentei | Is anybody familiar with another way of stopping "Recent Documents" to show up in places under GNOME? (I now remove .recently-used.xbel and create a folder with that name, but that gives gtk errors) | 21:20 |
| rhodan | Zeus__: Don't listen to him | 21:21 |
| Zeus__ | when I fdisk -l I get nothing | 21:21 |
| histo | kyentei: I would look in gconf maybe | 21:21 |
| OpenBluntSurgery | lol | 21:21 |
| purplefool | thune3 yes it does...well, i haven't used ls yet, but through the system test, usb was definitely shone... | 21:21 |
| jcxl | " Can't create a test hardlink between a file in /var/lib/backuppc/pc and /var/lib/backuppc/cpool. " | 21:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Zeus__: 'sudo fdisk -l' | 21:21 |
| deanimean | kyentei, make it readonly? | 21:21 |
| histo | Zeus__: you need to use sudo | 21:21 |
| kyentei | histo: Searched a lot, can't find anything | 21:21 |
| rhodan | Dr_Willis: Thank you. | 21:21 |
| OpenBluntSurgery | I think if you are new to linux you need to start with gentoo | 21:21 |
| rhodan | Dr_Willis: Seriously, I wouldn't have thought about that. | 21:21 |
| kyentei | deanimean: Tried, GDM sets it back. Remember that GDM has permission to do so. | 21:21 |
| histo | kyentei: i'm sure someone on the forums has posted a way to get rid of recent documents | 21:21 |
| deanimean | kyentei, i did your method years ago but now I just dont care about it enough :) | 21:21 |
| OpenBluntSurgery | ubuntu is too easy that doing something like checking your drives becomes hard | 21:21 |
| rhodan | OpenBluntSurgery: No way! | 21:22 |
| Zeus__ | Dr_Willis, histo, I used sudo but I still get nothing | 21:22 |
| OpenBluntSurgery | "Linux is hard, lets go shopping." | 21:22 |
| histo | OpenBluntSurgery: checking drives isn't hard | 21:22 |
| oCean_ | OpenBluntSurgery: this is not a discussion channel. Take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic please | 21:22 |

| Zeus__ | histo, what do you mean? | 21:22 |
| Zeus__ | histo, I use the terminal | 21:23 |
| kyentei | deanimean: Well... no luck :-P Not on the forums either btw. | 21:23 |
| khalidmian_ | no wonder ppl dont install ubuntu | 21:23 |
| Dr_Willis | sandking: install the 'ubuntu-desktop' package. and select ubuntu/gnome at teh GDM login screen. | 21:23 |
| stercor | Dr_Willis: Perfect. Now to do a power-on reset. | 21:23 |
| Frankiitaa | maybe i cant use transmission 1.9.2 en ubuntu 0.94 | 21:23 |
| deanimean | sandking, choose ubuntu standard desktop from login screen. | 21:23 |
| FunnyLookinHat | Can I use tar to add three specific files to a .tar.gz ? | 21:23 |
| Dr_Willis | sandking: or select 'netbook' at gdm for teh netbook interface | 21:23 |
| rhodan | If those little chicken start invading #gentoo screaming "hey how do i get my windwos menu back i did dfisk but it didnt do anything you're disrtibutoin sux!" | 21:23 |
| FunnyLookinHat | i.e. tar -czvf file./tar.gz file1 file2 file3 | 21:23 |
| FunnyLookinHat | ? | 21:23 |
| Mr_Redhat | is it possible to set up an ad hoc network with ubuntu? | 21:23 |
| zdravi | khalidmian_: ubuntu bashing's 3 chanels that way | 21:23 |
| histo | Zeus__: what type of hardware are you using perhaps its not supported by whatever kernel you are running | 21:23 |
| deanimean | sandking, or whatever its called : I forget.. but its there to use, thats why they ditched the desktop switcher tool | 21:23 |
| rhodan | Then I'm going to keel you. | 21:23 |
| oCean_ | rhodan: please move on | 21:23 |
| purplefool | thune3 ok, just read you question again and i honestly don't know if it comes up as cd...if it does, what do i do with that? | 21:23 |
| sandking | i got automatic login and no login screen | 21:23 |
| sandking | what's gdm ? | 21:24 |
| kyentei | sandking: gnome display manager | 21:24 |
| sandking | [what does it stand for] | 21:24 |
| sandking | thx\ | 21:24 |
| deanimean | sandking, log out after you logged in then. | 21:24 |
| Dr_Willis | sandking: the login screen. YOU have it set to autologin. You can tell it to not autologin. | 21:24 |
| zdravi | sandking: the service that starts your GUI up when you start your computer. | 21:24 |
| Zeus__ | histo, I have no Idea about the internal HDD of the laptop. I was able to see its details when I was trying to install | 21:24 |
| rhodan | Zeus__: So the live CD detects the disk but the other system does not? | 21:24 |
| zdravi | Zeus__: how handy are you with a command line? | 21:24 |
| Dr_Willis | sandking: for the 2nd time -> system -> admin -> login screen | 21:24 |
| rhodan | What is the other system? | 21:24 |
| JoeMaverickSett | i was to apply a this patch: http://www.mail-archive.com/dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org/msg01446.html to Linux 2.6.35-rc, now 2.6.35 has been released and i'm wondering, if i updated to 2.6.35 will the bug be fixed? | 21:24 |
| histo | Zeus__: again what are you trying to accomplish here? | 21:24 |
| sandking | k, thx | 21:24 |
| Dr_Willis | JoeMaverickSett: you would have to check teh changelogs - | 21:25 |
| rhodan | histo: Installing Ubantu. But it won't let him because the partition tables aren't tidy enough. | 21:25 |
| Zeus__ | histo, I am trying to format the HDD and try to install Ubuntu. Because in the installation I get an error msg on the partitioning | 21:25 |
| Dr_Willis | JoeMaverickSett: or just try the newer version and see if its been fixed. | 21:25 |
| rhodan | Zeus__: Which system do you have booted now? | 21:26 |
| Mr_Redhat | Zeus_ what is the error if you can recall it? | 21:26 |
| khalidmian_ | so long and thanks for all he fish uninstalling ubuntu as there no point as i cant fix my display | 21:26 |
| JoeMaverickSett | Dr_Willis, the thing is i don't know how to read this: http://www.kernel.org/diff/diffview.cgi?file=%2Fpub%2Flinux%2Fkernel%2Fv2.6%2Fpatch-2.6.35.bz2;z=3014 | 21:26 |
| rhodan | Mr_Redhat: See above. | 21:26 |
| zdravi | khalidmian_: Bye. | 21:26 |
| lewis_ | hi | 21:26 |
| Zeus__ | rhodan, the installation detects the HDD and the GParted does not | 21:26 |
| rhodan | Don't make him repeat himself. | 21:26 |
| thune3 | purplefool: you choose "eject" from desktop cdrom icon right-click menu. Installing usb-modeswitch should do this automatically. | 21:26 |
| ilovefairuz | FunnyLookinHat: http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/tar/append.html | 21:26 |
| Dr_Willis | JoeMaverickSett: i dont either. I dont bother with ekrnels much any more. | 21:26 |
| Zeus__ | zdravi, I am not that handy | 21:26 |
| rhodan | Zeus__: Gparted from where? | 21:26 |
| lewis_ | my sound card does not work, how to i fix it | 21:26 |
| rhodan | From the ubuntu cd? | 21:26 |
| JoeMaverickSett | Dr_Willis, okie. might try the latest one then. thanks. | 21:26 |
| Zeus__ | rhodan, gparted from the live session | 21:26 |
| ilovefairuz | !sound > lewis_ | 21:26 |
| ubottu | lewis_, please see my private message | 21:26 |
| zdravi | Zeus__: Boot up the installation and hit Ctrl+Alt+F1, it should drop you into a command line that you can fdisk -l from | 21:26 |
| rhodan | Zeus__: OK, so what do you have started now? | 21:26 |
| stercor | Dr_Willis: It worked perfectly. There was this here check box that said it all. And I got rid of the login sound as well. | 21:26 |
| rhodan | Also, do what zdravi says. | 21:26 |
| Dr_Willis | stercor: what worked perfectly? :) | 21:27 |
| Zeus__ | rhodan, the Xchat and the gparted. | 21:27 |
| Zeus__ | zdravi, should I Ctrl, alt, f1 now? | 21:27 |
| stercor | Not having it automatically log me in --- without a password. | 21:27 |
| rhodan | Zeus__: You can come back with ctrl-alt-f7 | 21:27 |
| Dr_Willis | stercor: so the tool did the job it was designed to do. :) | 21:27 |
| zdravi | Zeus__: Neg, start up with the installation CD, the one that can see your partitions | 21:28 |
| rhodan | zdravi: We would have lost him. | 21:28 |
| OpenBluntSurgery | oCean_: my pipes are broken.. =) | 21:28 |
| ejv | im trying to add the byobu PPA, i've added the neccessary entries into sources.list, but how do I load the GPG Signing Key, so that apt sees it? | 21:28 |
| stercor | Dr_Willis: yep. I just didn't know where to go to find it. | 21:28 |
| zdravi | rhodan: I assumed he was on another computer, since he's talking to us while booting his computer around >< | 21:28 |
| chris_osx | OpenBluntSurgery: maybe you have one in the oven | 21:28 |
| ejv | im trying to add the byobu PPA, i've added the neccessary entries into sources.list, but how do I load the GPG Signing Key, so that apt sees it? - http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xCF5E7496F430BBA5 | 21:28 |
| Zeus__ | zdravi, I went out and typed the sudo fdisk command and I got many errors | 21:28 |
| purplefool | thune3 now i understand what you meant. ok, no, the usb stick is just red (light that shows it is getting power, but that is it) and there is no entry of the stick in the entire computer...as if it isn't there. before, it would appear as a massive storage thingy (i know, very technical...) | 21:28 |
| Frankiitaa | i cant use my dvd drive in ubuntu 10.04 | 21:28 |
| OpenBluntSurgery | chris_osx: mebee | 21:28 |
| Dr_Willis | stercor: You may want to check out a tool called 'gdm2setup' also - it has a few more settings/tweaks | 21:29 |
| rhodan | OpenBluntSurgery: ¦ know ¦-¦ow you fee¦. | 21:29 |
| zdravi | Zeus__: It sounds like it's a hardware issue then | 21:29 |
| ilovefairuz | ejv: use add-apt-repository | 21:29 |
| stercor | Dr_Willis: I admit to ignorance in Linux; but try me on MVS... | 21:29 |
| zdravi | Zeus__: What were the errors, exactly? Malformed parition tables, partitions ending and starting in odd spots? | 21:29 |
| OpenBluntSurgery | Zeus__: what kind of drive? 2.5 /3.5 sata? | 21:29 |
| rhodan | purplefool: unplug, plug, dmesg | tail -n 100 | 21:29 |

| ilovefairuz | ejv: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:byobu/ppa | 21:29 |
| Frankiitaa | it works if i had the disc inside when i turn on the pc | 21:30 |
| rhodan | purplefool: Nopaste that so we can see what your kernel thinks about that little device. | 21:30 |
| Zeus__ | zdravi, let me check again | 21:30 |
| zdravi | dshbusiness: Do you want the iso on the usb, or the contents of the iso on the usb? | 21:30 |
| Dr_Willis | dshbusiness: unetbootin, or the usb-disk-creator tool to generate a bootable live flash drive. | 21:30 |
| ejv | ilovefairuz: will that solve this: W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net lucid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY CF5E7496F430BBA5 | 21:30 |

| phaidros | argh .. lucid | 21:31 |
| Frankiitaa | any ideas? | 21:31 |
| zdravi | Zeus__: Yeah that's sounding a lot like a hardware ish. When's the last time you used it successfully? | 21:31 |
| rhodan | Zeus__: Sounds like a broken drive to me. | 21:31 |

| OpenBluntSurgery | Zeus__: throw it in a enclosure load up ubuntu live cd and plug it in | 21:31 |
| Zeus__ | zdravi, a week ago | 21:31 |

| zdravi | Zeus__: and then it stopped booting? | 21:31 |

| === [SW]Dodge is now known as [SW]Dodge`oFF | ||

| rhodan | Zeus__: Seagate? | 21:32 |
| Zeus__ | zdravi, so I'm going for a replacement | 21:32 |
| purplefool | rhodan i have the jockey log file with me (am somewhere else so i have internet now) and the files that it refers to with regards to the stick...will they do? otherwise i need to go get them... | 21:32 |
| stercor | zdravi: What about the old stick-it-in-the-freezer trick? | 21:32 |
| rhodan | stercor: No. | 21:32 |
| Zeus__ | rhodan, No but I ll buy one from them | 21:33 |
| ejv | Preparing to replace byobu 2.68-0ubuntu1.1 (using .../byobu_3.0-0ubuntu1~ppa4_all.deb) ... | 21:33 |
| stercor | zdravi: Or am I speaking out of turn. | 21:33 |
| Zeus__ | anyway | 21:33 |
| ejv | success! | 21:33 |
| rhodan | That can work for stuck heads. | 21:33 |
| zdravi | stercor: That only works when drives overheat. It shrinks the bearings and gives you a bit of time to save your data. But if it's at that point, you're going to need to replace it anyways. | 21:33 |
| OpenBluntSurgery | dshbusiness: dd | 21:33 |
| rhodan | zdravi: You made that up. | 21:33 |

| Zeus__ | zdravi, rhodan, OpenBluntSurgery, thank you for your help I guess I am going for a new drive :) | 21:33 |
| OpenBluntSurgery | Zeus__: new drive? dude thats extreme | 21:34 |
| dshbusiness | OpenBluntSurgery: I have used dd command. But still can't install it. | 21:34 |
| rhodan | Thing is, sometimes the heads get stuck on the platter becaus power is cut off while they are falling. | 21:34 |
| stercor | zdravi: Thanks for the info. I thought of it as a cure-all for hard drives, | 21:34 |
| OpenBluntSurgery | Zeus__: do what I say, go buy a 3$ enclosure, pop the drive out and see if it works via usb | 21:34 |
| OpenBluntSurgery | Zeus__: if it does, then the drive is good. | 21:34 |
| ikonia | roknir: Zeus__ keep in mind this is "ubuntu" support please, not hardware support | 21:34 |
| rhodan | And once they're stuck they're damn hard to get off. | 21:34 |
| Mxyzpltk | I just installed ubuntu 10.04 netbook edition on a very old thinkpad, works just fine but the interface lists things backwards from what they should be, and the scrollbar with the mouse is backwards, if I move the mouse down it scrolls up, where do I start looking? | 21:34 |
| thune3 | purplefool: the purpose of the dmesg output is to see what the kernel is doing with the device, and if it is getting properly registerd to a tty. if you pastebin the jockey file, it might help *if* the process got far enough | 21:34 |
| Lap-top | How do I bring text to the exact center of a cell in a table in open office? I can bring it to the center from left to right but not from top to bottom | 21:34 |
| Lap-top | sorry, wrong place to ask I believe but I thought someone might know | 21:34 |
| ejv | cool command ilovefairuz ;) | 21:34 |
| Zeus__ | ikonia, of course :) | 21:34 |
| zdravi | rhodan: If the head is on the platter you've got a crash and you're pretty much already fucked >< | 21:34 |
| ikonia | maybe take this conversation to a better channel | 21:34 |
| ikonia | Lap-top: if you know it's the wrong place, please don't ask | 21:35 |

| Lap-top | rhodan, Okay. Thank you. | 21:35 |
| ikonia | rhodan: then don't say anything instead of teasing people | 21:35 |
| rhodan | OpenBluntSurgery: Never say a drive is good. | 21:35 |
| rhodan | Lap-top: Hint: Format. | 21:35 |
| purplefool | thune3 ok, will past the jockey file and wait to see what you think and them do the dmesg thing and bring it in tomorrow for further review. btw, how do i pastebin? | 21:35 |

| ikonia | rhodan: stop talking about physical drive hardware, take it to ##hardware | 21:36 |

| rhodan | ikonia: You may have noticed that I solved more problems in the last few hours than you, BY YOUR POWERTS COMBINED! | 21:36 |
| ikonia | OpenBluntSurgery: please stop discussing hardware, this is the last time I'll say it | 21:36 |

| qubodup | IdleOne: thanks | 21:43 |
| IdleOne | welcome | 21:43 |
| thune3 | purplefool: as the advice was. plug the device into usb, wait 10-20 seconds, and then save off the "dmesg | tail -n 100 > saveme.txt. Getting lsusb info would be good. Either way, the advice you get will probably just be one more step, it would be easiest if you could figure a way to get help while connected to that machine. | 21:44 |

| matrix | sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties | 21:44 |

| oCean_ | mrman208: you could try your question here | 21:45 |
| oCean_ | matrix: YES | 21:45 |
| tensorpudding | maybe no one uses ubuntu for a server | 21:45 |
| mrman208 | oCean_: ok, thanks! | 21:45 |
| matrix | i want to gnome login screen theme change | 21:45 |
| oCean_ | matrix: it is EXACTLY as the url says | 21:45 |
| kyentei | oCean_: You are aware of the fact thatyou cannot modify the theme from within GNOME anymore. Right? | 21:45 |
| mrman208 | are there any good mouse daemons for pure server (no X) that support the scroll whell? | 21:45 |
| oCean_ | kyentei: nonsense | 21:45 |
| oCean_ | kyentei: http://somedom.com/?p=21 | 21:45 |
| mrman208 | ... | 21:46 |
| red2kic | ,,, | 21:46 |
| tensorpudding | I think FreeBSD's moused supported the scroll wheel, maybe it has been ported? | 21:46 |
| deanimean | mrman208, I find it just 'nicer' to ssh into a server.. just is that way.. | 21:46 |
| mrman208 | tensorpudding: | 21:46 |
| kyentei | matrix: Log out of your gnome session. Then switch to TTY1 by pressing CTRL+ALT+F1. Then login as root adn type "export DISPLAY=:0.0", that done, type "sudo -u gdm gnome-control-center" | 21:47 |
| mrman208 | tensorpudding: I will look it up real quick | 21:47 |
| tensorpudding | Ah, there's gpm | 21:47 |
| tensorpudding | maybe gpm supports it? | 21:47 |
| kyentei | matrix: And then switch back to TTY7 by using CTRL+ALT+F7 | 21:47 |
| oCean_ | kyentei: WHY whould you tell that, while the URL solution exactly fixes the issue? | 21:47 |
| mrman208 | tensorpudding: I tried with gpm and no scroll wheel support | 21:47 |
| guntbert | mrman208: just a small advice: if you ask a question in some channel don't leave again within one minute (not that it would have made any difference in this case :-)) | 21:47 |
| kyentei | oCean_: Because I have experienced the same problem, not being able to change my login from within GNOME. | 21:47 |
| kyentei | oCean_: I told you just that | 21:48 |
| mrman208 | guntbert: Ok, thanks | 21:48 |
| oCean_ | kyentei: so you have not tried what is in the url? | 21:48 |

| id10t | any ideas as to why i can't do X over ssh? using ssh -CY user@remotehost i then log in and try to launch an app but it claims it can't open my X display - remote box is headless | 22:04 |
| matrix | thank you | 22:04 |
| kyentei | id10t: use -X too. | 22:04 |
| mrman208 | id10t: try ssh with -X option | 22:04 |
| guntbert | mrman208: probably <alt>+arrow -- see http://linuxreviews.org/software/irc/irssi/#toc6 | 22:04 |
| ilovefairuz | khalidmian: the card is very very new | 22:04 |
| erUSUL | id10t: maybe you have to modify xhost access permissions | 22:04 |
| id10t | kyentei, tried -X as well mrman208 | 22:04 |
| ilovefairuz | khalidmian: try: nvclock -i` | 22:05 |
| kyentei | id10t: ssh -X user@remotehost application | 22:05 |
| mrman208 | guntbert: I got the /window command working thank you though | 22:05 |
| ilovefairuz | khalidmian: -i | 22:05 |
| mrman208 | guntbert: and <alt>+arrow brings me to a login screen | 22:05 |
| kyentei | id10t: You need the app you want to run at the end of the syntax. ;-) | 22:05 |
| kyentei | id10t: err, command. | 22:05 |
| AviMarcus | I have a CD with windows software, but to install with wine it says I need an executable bit on. How do I make the cd executable? | 22:06 |
| khalidmian | ilovefairuz: The program 'nvclock' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install nvclock | 22:06 |
| guntbert | mrman208: :) I don't use irssi myself - thats why I said "probably " :-) | 22:06 |
| id10t | kyentei, i typically can ssh in with -CY args and then launch an app via command line once i've logged in | 22:06 |
| kyentei | AviMarcus: Copy the content to your local disk. Then use chmod +x filename.exe | 22:06 |
| joofl | Ok my dvd player can't play mp3's on a data disc | 22:06 |
| id10t | oh well | 22:06 |
| AviMarcus | hmm, I'll try that kyentei | 22:06 |
| id10t | i can use a text browser just as well | 22:06 |
| kyentei | id10t: I have no experience with that. The command I just gave you does the trick for me. | 22:06 |
| ilovefairuz | khalidmian: then install it | 22:07 |
| kyentei | id10t: Once again: "ssh -CX username@remotehost application" | 22:07 |
| khalidmian | nvclock-i: command not found | 22:07 |

| prince_jammys | khalidmian: apt-get install | 22:08 |
| chris_osx | lol | 22:09 |
| prince_jammys | apt-get takes a "sub-command" argument, since it can do so much stuff. | 22:09 |

| AviMarcus | kyentei, the console chocked on the spaces in the folder, so I just right clicked and the permissions was there. just wondering, how do I access folders with spaces from terminal? | 22:11 |
| kyentei | AviMarcus: add a \ before the space | 22:11 |
| mrman208 | AviMarcus: Escape them with backslashes, eg: my\ dir | 22:11 |
| erUSUL | AviMarcus: or use " " around the names | 22:11 |
| kyentei | AviMarcus: If you partly type the folder name, and then hit TAB, it does that for you. (TAB finishes everything by the way) | 22:12 |
| mrman208 | I have another question: On my machine, whenever it beeps it gives me a visual beep instead of an audible one, any ideas on how to make it audible? | 22:13 |
| AviMarcus | what folder am I in when I open a terminal? | 22:13 |
| kyentei | AviMarcus: So you could use: cd my\ folder or cd "my folder" or just type cd my [TAB] | 22:13 |
| mrman208 | AviMarcus: Your home folder | 22:13 |
| WaaC | hey is there a e-mail server built into ubuntu server edition? | 22:13 |
| kyentei | AviMarcus: Per default, you are in your home directory. | 22:13 |
| AviMarcus | hmm | 22:13 |
| erUSUL | !mta | WaaC | 22:13 |
| ubottu | WaaC: A Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) is the server software that sends and queues mail. The default MTA (and !MDA) on Ubuntu is !postfix ("exim" is also officially supported). See also !MailServer and !MUA | 22:13 |

| Frankiitaa | kyentei yes it does but take a time | 22:14 |
| AviMarcus | ah, I put a / at the beginning and apparently that was unnecessary | 22:14 |
| WaaC | thank you | 22:14 |
| WaaC | !mailserver | 22:14 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu supports the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and provides mail server software of many kinds. You can install a basic email handling configuration with the "Mail server" task during installation, or with the "tasksel" command.

| Endafy | please help | 22:15 |
| mrman208 | ilovefairuz: I am sorry, but how do you do that? | 22:15 |

| deanimean | Gerrin, apart from opening ports (6881 - 6900? or something) or use emesene which I think tries to be a more complete msn. Or just use xmpp and be done with it. | 22:25 |

| kyentei | sharris: That's more likely because of your kernel. ;-) | 22:27 |
| ilovefairuz | !terminal > sharris | 22:27 |
| ilovefairuz | kyentei: could be a display or wlan driver | 22:27 |
| kyentei | ilovefairuz: So that could be fixed by booting without using any display manager, right? | 22:28 |
| tensorpudding | urzik: look like them how? | 22:28 |
| kyentei | ilovefairuz: or.. tested, that is. | 22:28 |
| ilovefairuz | kyentei: it depends on what driver or if it's a driver at all, i've had that happen because of faulty hard disks | 22:29 |
| ilovefairuz | kyentei: that's why /var/log/messages is important too | 22:29 |

| picard1421 | hey guys is there any way to edit Plymouth themes | 22:33 |
| tensorpudding | urzik: you mean, you want to know the default hinting and smoothing settings for ubuntu? | 22:33 |
| picard1421 | for example if i want to use hte solar one but istead of it saying Ubuntu its says ... w.e i want it to say (;? | 22:33 |
| Dr_Willis | picard1421: thers has to be ways to make them. so yes.. but it may not be trivial. | 22:33 |
| urzik | tensorpudding: right ) | 22:33 |
| tensorpudding | it depends on the machine | 22:33 |
| picard1421 | well i wnat to keep everything the same just change it from saying Ubuntu to something else? | 22:33 |
| AviMarcus | Dr_Willis, so I see. I tried a few. One wouldn't back up the whole system w/o trying to mirror the external hard drive too, and another went sooo slow | 22:34 |
| picard1421 | Dr_willis where are the plymouth themes stored on the machine? | 22:34 |
| tensorpudding | i don't think subpixel smoothing is used if it knows that you're on a CRT | 22:34 |
| ilovefairuz | picard1421: sudo plymouth-set-default-theme solar --rebuild-initrd | 22:34 |
| Frankiitaa | kyentei yeas | 22:34 |
| Frankiitaa | of course | 22:34 |
| Dr_Willis | picard1421: no idea. check some wiki/gides/google (i just googled and found) --> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/quick-tipplymouth-themes-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html | 22:34 |
| tensorpudding | If you have an LCD screen definitely use subpixel smoothing | 22:34 |
| Drone4four | Jordan_U, if i don't bump my posts, how else is it going to get exposure? | 22:34 |

| jguzikowski | Anyone know why my USB flash drive isn't showing up? | 22:39 |
| ^peanut^ | AviMarcus: Cool. gj. | 22:39 |
| Solow | Dr_Willis: it's in windows share yeah. thanks ) | 22:39 |
| gartral | profanephobia: erm.. 9.04 has manymanymany x0based bugs, get 10.04 | 22:39 |
| AviMarcus | Dr_Willis, I'm using ATI. After updating the kernal and getting new X, it's working fine. | 22:39 |
| AviMarcus | other than this, heh. | 22:39 |
| Benkinooby | jguzikowski, not showing up? where? in file manager? or in /dev/ directory? | 22:39 |
| nomike | I was thinking of modifying the UUID's in fstab, changing the hostname, regenerating the ssh-host-keys and that's it. Anything else I need to be aware of or just "BAD IDEA"? | 22:39 |
| AviMarcus | windows xp did it sometimes, too.. | 22:39 |
| aeon-ltd | nomike: do you really have that many configs and setups that a fresh install will be that much of a problem? | 22:40 |
| jguzikowski | Benkinooby, I'm not sure where to look to be honest | 22:40 |
| ^peanut^ | nomike: why not just to a fresh install? | 22:40 |
| profanephobia | gartral, thats not an acceptable solution to a problem | 22:40 |
| slidinghorn | picard1421, the links I sent you should answer the question you asked...if those aren't helpful then what are you trying to do? | 22:40 |
| gartral | Benkinooby: only if you really understand what your doing, and feel comfortable with potentially irrecoverablr frying your computer and anything connected too it | 22:40 |
| slidinghorn | !pm | picard1421 | 22:40 |
| ubottu | picard1421: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 22:40 |
| gartral | profanephobia: 9.04 is known as the bug-monster release... your only real option is a total upgrade.. even that might fail spectacularly | 22:41 |
| nomike | aeon-ltd, ^peanut^: well its a relatively complex setup with kerberos and some PAM modules where users home directories lie on an openAFS share | 22:41 |
| Benkinooby | jguzikowski, open a terminal and type "ls /dev/sd*" | 22:41 |
| AviMarcus | kyentei, how do I remove some of those workspaces? | 22:41 |
| urzik | tensorpudding: ok. going to install ubuntu on a virtual machine. thanks anyway. just hate the default settings i have right now | 22:41 |
| ^peanut^ | nomike: you can just scp over configs that you would like to remain in tack on a new host. like apache, etc. etc. | 22:41 |
| haresh | hello which msn do u guys recommand | 22:41 |
| picard1421 | ok so basically lets take the solar rise as an example.. | 22:41 |
| Benkinooby | jguzikowski, then remove the pendrive, type the same command again, and see if you get a difference | 22:41 |
| kyentei | AviMarcus: By default, there's an applet on your panel. (bottom right) Right click it, select something like preferences and lower the amount of workspaces to 1. | 22:41 |
| picard1421 | at hte bottom the words Ubuntu appear.. si there anyway to change that text? | 22:41 |
| profanephobia | Im running ubuntu 9.04 and everytime I try to start system-config-printer it locks up. When ran in the terminal it returns this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/472818/ | 22:41 |
| jguzikowski | /dev/sda /dev/sda2 /dev/sda5 /dev/sdb | 22:41 |
| jguzikowski | /dev/sda1 /dev/sda3 /dev/sda6 /dev/sdb1 | 22:41 |
| jguzikowski | is what comes up | 22:41 |
| nomike | ^peanut^: Yes, I'm considering that as an option too. I was just wondering if copying over "/" would work. Why not? | 22:42 |
| slidinghorn | !paste | jguzikowski | 22:42 |
| ubottu | jguzikowski: 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. | 22:42 |
| ^peanut^ | nomike: so can't you just copy over the krb5 stuff that you need along with the pam stuff? that's how I've setup my ldap systems. | 22:42 |
| haresh | help me when i trying to install emesene: | 22:42 |
| haresh | Depends: python (>=2.6) but 2.5.2-0ubuntu1 is to be installed i get this how to slov this | 22:42 |
| AviMarcus | kyentei, preferences. No clue why I didn't see that before. | 22:42 |
| Benkinooby | gartral, can i really physically damage my computer with a wrong kernel? | 22:42 |
| ilovefairuz | haresh: aMSN is the closest to the official client but looks ugly, emesene looks nicer but not as many features | 22:42 |
| nomike | ^peanut^: of course I could, cloning the whole system was just an idea... | 22:42 |
| ^peanut^ | nomike: yeah, copying / would be a bad idea. Tho, you could dd your primary disk if all you have is 1 drive to the new drive for the new host. | 22:42 |
| kyentei | AviMarcus: That's okay ^^ You know now though.. :) | 22:42 |
| ilovefairuz | haresh: pastebin the whole output | 22:43 |
| ilovefairuz | !paste > haresh | 22:43 |
| ubottu | haresh, please see my private message | 22:43 |
| Benkinooby | jguzikowski, so now remove the pendrive... is tere still something with sdb? | 22:43 |
| haresh | okie sorry | 22:43 |
| ^peanut^ | nomike: if the disk is say a few hundred gigs in total space, then it could take a couple of hours. | 22:43 |
| slidinghorn | haresh, that's probably a better question for the emesene support forum, but it appears that there's a python dependency that isn't met. post the entire output to http://paste.ubuntu.com | 22:43 |
| haresh | http://paste.ubuntu.com/472823/ its here | 22:44 |
| nomike | ^peanut^: I don't know if dd is such a good idea as the harddrives are different. I don't know if todays file-systems and disks still have to deal with that C/H/S stuff | 22:44 |
| jguzikowski | Benkinooby, /dev/sdb and /dev/sdb1 are missing now | 22:44 |
| ^peanut^ | nomike: personally I use kickstart for all my servers and realy only use ubuntu for my work desktop, I don't have any ubuntu servers setup yet. but I will be doing that shortly. | 22:44 |
| picard1421 | anyone? | 22:44 |
| ardian | Hi, what's the name of the log file that I can see who SSH last time into my server ? | 22:44 |
| nomike | ^peanut^: I did not think about using "cp" but using "rsync" which keeps permissions and special files (e.g. device nodes safe). | 22:45 |
| ilovefairuz | haresh: that's not ALL of the output | 22:45 |
| Dr_Willis | ardian: /var/log/access perhaps | 22:45 |
| Dr_Willis | !info logwatch | 22:45 |
| ubottu | logwatch (source: logwatch): log analyser with nice output written in Perl. In component main, is optional. Version 7.3.6.cvs20090906-1ubuntu2 (lucid), package size 391 kB, installed size 2604 kB | 22:45 |

| === jan is now known as Guest87702 | ||
| Dr_Willis | ardian: check out logwatch also. | 22:45 |
| Yadira | where can i get some support for mandvd,,is playng a movie while making me a DVD,,like in the background i cant even see the movie | 22:45 |
| ^peanut^ | nomike: yea they do. so if your primary drive is say 60 gig, and your new drive is say 250 gig, then only 60 of space will be used on the new disk with more space for partitioning etc. if it's reverse then no it won't work. | 22:45 |
| ardian | Dr_Willis, logWatch ? | 22:45 |
| haresh | thats all i get when i install from the synaptic package installer | 22:45 |
| Benkinooby | jguzikowski, ok, this means, that the pendirve is physically reconized | 22:46 |
| gartral | profanephobia: im sorry, but the only way for you to fix that is upgrade.. i went through a similar issue.. there _is no fi_ | 22:46 |
| Benkinooby | jguzikowski, are you uing gnome? | 22:46 |
| Dr_Willis | ardian: thats the name of the tool.. see what the bot said abou it 4 lines up. | 22:46 |
| ilovefairuz | haresh: aha, well then continue, it | 22:46 |
| jguzikowski | Benkinooby, yes | 22:46 |
| slidinghorn | picard1421, no one got your question because you put it on more than one line & spaced it out by like 5 minutes. please ask *detailed* questions, and all on one line -- see !details and !paste | 22:46 |
| ilovefairuz | haresh: it's not an error, proceed with install | 22:46 |
| Benkinooby | jguzikowski, did it work before? | 22:46 |
| haresh | cant | 22:46 |
| picard1421 | kk one sec.. | 22:46 |
| ^peanut^ | nomike: before I started using kickstart the engineers here were using dd for our product dev systems. they thought it was ok, until I introduced them to kickstart. =) | 22:46 |
| Guest87702 | hoe is ubuntu | 22:46 |
| jguzikowski | Benkinooby, no, this is the first time trying to find it | 22:46 |
| ardian | ok thank you | 22:46 |
| ilovefairuz | !screenshot > haresh | 22:46 |
| ubottu | haresh, please see my private message | 22:46 |
| jguzikowski | Benkinooby, i just want to see its contents in an explorer window | 22:46 |
| nomike | ^peanut^: wasted/insufficient space is not that much of a problem as I could resize the filesystems | 22:47 |
| profanephobia | gartral, i cant update, it was functional before, this is a new development. im sure there is a fix | 22:47 |
| picard1421 | ok basically what i want to do.. is take a plymouth themee.. ( i like the solar sunrise..) and after the sun is rising the words ubuntu appear.. I want to change those to different words.. what would have to config/edit to do that? | 22:47 |
| ^peanut^ | nomike: totally. | 22:47 |
| * nomike is googling for kickstart | 22:47 | |
| haresh | when i use terminal i get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/472824/ | 22:47 |
| Benkinooby | jguzikowski, when you open nautilus you don't see it? | 22:47 |
| gartral | profanephobia: im sure you get intermittent functionality.. but honestlyh, the way to permafix it is up to 10.04.. im sorry | 22:47 |
| slidinghorn | picard1421, find the configuration file within the theme package and edit it | 22:47 |
| picard1421 | ? | 22:47 |
| picard1421 | where | 22:47 |
| blak | anybody got expierence with the b43's? | 22:48 |
| ^peanut^ | nomike: kickstart is used mostly on redhat based systems. I believe ubuntu uses preseed files that work similar to kickstart yet alot more work is needed from what I've read. | 22:48 |
| jguzikowski | Benkinooby, i dont think so..maybe im doing it wrong, how should i be opening it? | 22:48 |
| slidinghorn | !anyone | blak | 22:48 |
| ubottu | blak: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 22:48 |
| slidinghorn | picard1421, wherever you installed the theme to. | 22:48 |
| ilovefairuz | haresh: what ubuntu version are you using? did you upgrade or did you add any external repositories ? | 22:48 |
| AviMarcus | what is "nice" column in the system monitor? | 22:48 |
| deanimean | blak, sup. | 22:48 |
| meera | what can I do when chat is too fast? how can I set up the right way that colours can be sanned by xsane image scanner? | 22:48 |
| haresh | how do i check that please guide thanks | 22:48 |
| Dr_Willis | AviMarcus: scheduling priority | 22:48 |
| MarkSS | I am trying to listen to my voicemail messages. It says I need a plugin for a text/html decoder. How do I fix this so I can listen to my voicemail messages? | 22:48 |
| Dr_Willis | AviMarcus: see 'man nice' :) | 22:49 |
| haresh | i installed gos 3.1 | 22:49 |
| slidinghorn | meera, I don't know about xsane, but if this channel is too fast for you, you can also try #ubuntu-beginners -- it's a lot quieter | 22:49 |
| blak | Deanimean: i've tried all the b43 topics in the forums, fwcutter, everything ( i think) and i still get nothing from my b4312 wireless card | 22:49 |
| Dr_Willis | AviMarcus: also see --> info coreutils 'nice invocation' | 22:49 |
| AviMarcus | so negative is good | 22:49 |
| slidinghorn | !details | MarkSS | 22:49 |
| ubottu | MarkSS: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 22:49 |
| meera | thanxx | 22:49 |
| AviMarcus | heya blak ! | 22:49 |
| AviMarcus | hmm | 22:49 |
| Dr_Willis | AviMarcus: depends on your needs. | 22:49 |
| AviMarcus | I have a b4311 | 22:49 |
| ilovefairuz | haresh: we only support ubuntu here | 22:49 |
| sandking | can someone tell me about this one http://linuxon1001p.blogspot.com/2010/03/fixing-brightness-controls.html ? | 22:49 |
| AviMarcus | I got it working yesterday | 22:50 |
| sandking | it says i need to add the line to the options | 22:50 |
| haresh | yeah but its running ubentu | 22:50 |
| deanimean | blak, doesnt the STA driver work with it? Thats the only one I use.. I get nothing but hassle from the fwcutter version | 22:50 |
| slidinghorn | !enter | sandking | 22:50 |
| ubottu | sandking: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 22:50 |
| haresh | ok nvm about it how can i check the version | 22:50 |
| nomike | ok...I'm currently working on the machine i need to reinstall. So I'm going offline to experiment with it. But as it's midnight here I don't expect to be finished today. So thank you for your help. CU soon | 22:50 |
| AviMarcus | erm Dr_Willis I was distracted. I meant to say negative is high priority | 22:50 |
| sandking | slidinghorn, i didn't used that | 22:50 |
| Dr_Willis | AviMarcus: yep I think so. ive rarely needed to mess with those. | 22:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | haresh, "lsb_realease -a" will show what version of Ubuntu you are using, not sure aboug gOS | 22:50 |
| MarkSS | I go to SmartZone communications center. Go into inbox and listen to my voicemail. Won't listen to my voicemail. Asks me to search for suitable plugin. Asks me to find a text/html decoder. Using Firefox as browser | 22:50 |
| blak | yup, I've had the sta up the whole time, but never has it worked, i've tried reinstalling it from the broadcom site as well | 22:51 |
| ilovefairuz | haresh: version of what? do you have ubuntu or gOS? | 22:51 |
| haresh | ubuntu | 22:51 |
| Dr_Willis | blak: on my wireless on my laptop the sta driver dident work. had to use the older b43 | 22:51 |
| deanimean | blak, Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g thats mine.. using STA driver. | 22:51 |
| Dr_Willis | blak: which is weird.. because i was SURE the sta driver worked in beta. | 22:51 |
| haresh | ok i am running Linux haresh-desktop 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Jun 18 14:43:41 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux | 22:51 |

| ilovefairuz | !version | haresh | 22:52 |
| ubottu | haresh: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 22:52 |
| slidinghorn | sandking, that page is telling you to modify your kernel mods...if you don't know what/how to do it, chances are you shouldn't do it at all. | 22:52 |
| ilovefairuz | haresh: lsb_release -a | 22:52 |
| haresh | http://paste.ubuntu.com/472826/ this is what i get | 22:52 |
| Dr_Willis | deanimean: mine is a --> Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01) | 22:52 |
| sandking | slidinghorn, that's why i'm asking here - it's quite essential for me to have brightness control on laptop | 22:53 |
| deanimean | Dr_Willis, dont understand why it wont work... :( | 22:53 |
| === jenkins is now known as ubuntujenkins | ||
| ilovefairuz | haresh: sudo apt-get update; and try installing again | 22:53 |

| blak | i've got the driver, and my iw shows up eth1 w/ 802.11 device, quality 5 | 22:53 |

| will` | ilovefairuz it's a user job | 22:55 |
| Dr_Willis | will`: perhaps you may want to try newer versions of pidgin, from a PPA perhaps. they may fix the crashing bugs. | 22:55 |
| will` | Dr_Willis sadly the PPA has not been updated :/ | 22:55 |
| blak | i can't do anything with it, network manager shows wireless disabled, i've tried manually install the b43 drivers, ndis'ing the drivers ... | 22:55 |

| nosajdraw_ | zykotick9 I think I do mean empathy, but I never liked IRC (used it several times over the years) so don't want a special client for it, will hardly ever use it. But I wanted to come here and talk about some form of login server for my network, then I will be gone. But got stopped cause Empathy just keeps saying "network error" meaningless. | 23:01 |

| nosajdraw_ | ZykoticK9 are you sure? Documentation on Ubuntu website says since 9.10 nothing needs to be installed to make it work | 23:03 |
| Dr_Willis | sandking_: you mean where you hit win-space and type stuff? or are you refering to the mint 'menu' they use instead of the ubuntu main menu? | 23:04 |
| ZykoticK9 | nosajdraw, it's a BUG that Empathy developers have said they won't even bother to fix, because empathy's IRC support is so bad... | 23:04 |
| Licuador | Does Ubuntu detects if a CPU is multithreading, or do you have to compile it? | 23:04 |
| blak | deanimean: when i did it by hand though i did a cp to /kernel/...wireless/ and then since reinstalled the common sta driver. scanning shows none of my interfaces support scanning | 23:04 |
| deanimean | blak, a few people seem to have issues with NM, so try wicd.. or the interfaces file..dont know what else to suggest if you have the driver installed etc. | 23:04 |
| sandking_ | Dr_Willis, yes - i heard i can do the same in Ubuntu | 23:04 |
| Licuador | Cause i read somewhere that some OS did not reckongnize Multithreading | 23:04 |
| Dr_Willis | sandking_: err.. yes to what part? Try gnome-do for the win-space thing | 23:04 |
| sandking_ | Dr_Willis: typing part :] | 23:05 |
| soosfarm | anyone know where I could find some racoon support? | 23:05 |

| mrman208 | Somelauw: Would the contents be to long to put here? | 23:34 |
| Somelauw | mrman208, yes, it is very long | 23:34 |
| dexi | whenever i try to download something, (firefox) I get a "could not be saved because the source file could not be read" error... ideas? | 23:34 |
| mrman208 | AviMarcus: export DISPLAY=:1.0 | 23:34 |
| mrman208 | AviMarcus: type that in a terminal window | 23:34 |
| [V13]Axel | When I use the command, "dpkg --set-selections /host/package.selections"(package.selections is output from get-selections), I get the error, "Set-selections takes no arguments." If this is the case, how do I restore them? | 23:35 |
| kb9tui | ikonia: tnks agn bye-bye | 23:35 |
| tripelb | I need a smaller typeface in Pidgin because this goes by so fast. | 23:35 |
| mwhudson | is there a channel for talking about ubuntu netbook edition specifically? | 23:35 |
| tripelb | and my name is not colored | 23:35 |
| mrman208 | triplelb: I do not believe it comes with a built in IRC client. Sorry. | 23:35 |
| Somelauw | mrman208, it can be downloaded from http://netbeans.org/downloads/index.html (I chose java SE) | 23:35 |
| tripelb | mrmann208 this is stupid | 23:35 |
| ilovefairuz | dexi: did you try other browsers? | 23:35 |
| brian__ | I'm using 10.4, AEGIR_HOST=`uname -n` | 23:35 |
| brian__ | resolveip $AEGIR_HOST | 23:35 |
| brian__ | , it's retruning 127.0.1..1 and not 127.0.01. How can I change? | 23:35 |
| AviMarcus | well mrman208, it changed it. now.. how to test.. | 23:35 |
| [V13]Axel | tripelb: Go to Ubuntu Software Center, and install "XChat IRC Client." it's the best one I've found. | 23:35 |
| augdawg | tripelb : i use xchat and love it | 23:36 |
| mrman208 | AviMarcus: Alright, good luck! | 23:36 |
| dexi | ilovefairuz, not yet, I was trying to install chrome which caused the error, lol | 23:36 |
| AviMarcus | is that going to persis to next reboot, mrman208 ? | 23:36 |
| AviMarcus | persist* | 23:36 |
| magicianlord | xchat is fine for gui, or irssi for cli | 23:36 |
| coz_ | ^^ | 23:36 |
| mrman208 | AviMarcus: If you put it ~/.bashrc it will | 23:36 |
| coz_ | xchat and irssi are the 2 top irc clients in my opinion | 23:36 |
| deanimean | xchat <3 | 23:37 |
| kyentei | meh, you can't run xchat in a screensession. I prefer to have irc open on my servers.. so irssi it is | 23:37 |
| mrman208 | AviMarcus: To put it in ~/.bashrc, type sudo nano ~/.bashrc in a terminal window and add export DISPLAY=:1.0 anywhere in the file | 23:37 |
| ilovefairuz | dexi: wget http://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb | 23:37 |
| coz_ | dexi, or install chromium | 23:38 |
| dexi | coz_ chromium? | 23:38 |
| magicianlord | apt-get install chromium-browser | 23:38 |
| coz_ | dexi, ` it is the free licensed version of google chrome I believe | 23:38 |
| magicianlord | they're both free. chromium is just unbranded and more up to date | 23:38 |
| [V13]Axel | I don't like Google Chrome. Too insecure with your personal information. | 23:38 |
| ilovefairuz | coz_: same version, just branded | 23:39 |
| coz_ | magicianlord, ah I see | 23:39 |
| mrman208 | [V13]Axel: It is? in what ways? | 23:39 |
| Samus_Aran | I am trying to load the PiTiVi video editor from apt, but it gives me the error "can't initialize module gst" which happens while loading a module "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gst-0.10/gst/__init__.py" on line 193, which is "from _gst import *" | 23:39 |
| syslq | If i open network location trough gnome gui, where is it (mounted location in filesystem), cat /etc/mtab does not show it, but I can access data | 23:39 |
| Samus_Aran | any suggestion of how to get it working? | 23:39 |
| dexi | coz_, i'll try that if ilovefairuz's doesnt work | 23:39 |
| coz_ | dexi, here is the ppa https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa | 23:39 |
| ilovefairuz | [V13]Axel: you can turn all this stuff off in options | 23:39 |
| tripelb | this goes buy so fast, pidgin, can I make the typeface smaller? | 23:40 |
| ikonia | syslq: believe it's done through fuse | 23:40 |
| [V13]Axel | mrman208: Google's whole "Google Ads," campaign uses your personal information such as history and even your name, address, etc. that you put in sites to give you ads more centric to your likes and dislikes. It also sells this information to companies. | 23:40 |
| deanimean | dont like daily`s.. autoscroll doesnt work, its crashed while watching tube vids.. et cetera | 23:40 |
| red2kic | tripelb: Change your font size? (Maybe under Appearances) | 23:40 |
| dexi | haha is it bad if i forget which bit i installed? *blush* | 23:40 |
| Scala | Hey, I'm having problems getting sound to come out of my headphone jack on my laptop. It works fine on the speakers but when I check alsamixer the column for 'headphone' looks disabled. What can I check to fix it? | 23:40 |
| ikonia | [V13]Axel: is that anything to do with ubuntu support discussion ? | 23:40 |
| syslq | ikonia: and it does not need a mountpoint under /? | 23:40 |
| mrman208 | [V13]Axel: Yes, but doesn't that happen on all browsers? | 23:40 |
| [V13]Axel | ikonia: It has to do with what was being stated earlier. | 23:40 |
| ilovefairuz | [V13]Axel: you're talking non-sense, read google chrome privacy policy | 23:40 |
| ikonia | [V13]Axel ilovefairuz please drop it | 23:41 |
| ikonia | syslq: look in ~/.gvfs | 23:41 |
| [V13]Axel | mrman208: Sort of. It doesn't happen as often, nor does Mozilla sell your information :) | 23:41 |
| dexi | ilovefairuz, what is the 64 bit rather than "i386"? | 23:41 |
| ikonia | [V13]Axel: please drop it | 23:41 |
| tripelb | red2kic: I cant find it. I looked everywhere inc under Preferences. That's why I want a terminal command IRC but noe seems to come installed. | 23:42 |
| magicianlord | [V13]Axel: is this true? | 23:42 |
| mrman208 | [V13]Axel: What about Safari? | 23:42 |
| dexi | gosh it's been so long since i used linux lol | 23:42 |
| dexi | i forget almost everything haha | 23:42 |
| [V13]Axel | mrman208: Anyway, this is an off-topic subject. | 23:42 |
| * Lt-Elmo reaches for my foil hat | 23:42 | |
| ikonia | mrman208: [V13]Axel magicianlord take it to #ubuntu-offtopic please | 23:42 |
| [V13]Axel | magicianlord: I wouldn't lie to you. | 23:42 |
| mrman208 | [V13]Axel: Ok, sorry | 23:42 |
| mrman208 | ikonia: Sorry | 23:42 |
| ikonia | not a problem | 23:42 |
| brian__ | how do I change from 127.0.1.1 to 127.0.0.1? | 23:42 |
| ikonia | brian__: you don't, why do you need to | 23:42 |
| mrman208 | Is there any way to scroll up in irssi? | 23:42 |
| red2kic | tripelb: Right-click -- Change Desktop Backgrounds --> Fonts? | 23:42 |
| ikonia | mrman208: page up/down | 23:42 |
| syslq | ikonia: thanks a lot | 23:43 |
| red2kic | tripelb: On the desktop. | 23:43 |
| ilovefairuz | dexi: 'amd64' | 23:43 |
| kyentei | mrman208: page up | 23:43 |
| mrman208 | ikonia: thanks | 23:43 |
| dexi | ilovefairuz, thanks | 23:43 |
| [V13]Axel | brian__: 127.0.0.1 is your loopback address, meaning your own IP address. What are you trying to change? | 23:43 |
| mrman208 | AviMarcus: Did it work? | 23:43 |
| brian__ | ikonia, the install script im running says it should be 0.0.1 http://git.aegirproject.org/?p=provision.git;a=blob_plain;f=docs/INSTALL.txt;hb=provision-0.4-alpha9 | 23:43 |
| ikonia | brian__: it's mapped in /etc/hosts, but I strongly advise you not to change it | 23:44 |
| AviMarcus | hmm. the edit did, mrman208 . I'm still not sure that helps everything though. It seems to re-open windows where they were last closed. | 23:44 |
| oal | Can you recommend a project planning/project management software? I prefer an installable linux application, but web apps might also work. Help? | 23:44 |
| mrman208 | AviMarcus: Can you move them between monitors though? | 23:44 |
| Samus_Aran | mrman208: you can set how many lines it scrolls as well | 23:44 |
| mrman208 | Samus_Aran: Cool, thanks | 23:44 |
| antibody | hi. in 10.04 the pulseaudio daemon always starts with /etc/pulse/daemon.conf or stuff in user home space? | 23:44 |
| kyentei | brian__: Instead of changing it. Just add a new line with the one you wanted to change 127.0.0.1 into. | 23:45 |
| AviMarcus | yes mrman208 . The issue is I don't always turn the second monitor on | 23:45 |
| Samus_Aran | mrman208: /set scroll_page_count ... | 23:45 |
| Samus_Aran | mrman208: if you put in /2 then it scrolls by half a page, /3 by one third page. if you enter a whole number, it is how many lines. I use 3. | 23:45 |
| mrman208 | AviMarcus: Ahh, I do not think there is a way to make them open where they weren't closed | 23:45 |
| brian__ | kyentei: im not sure I follow...im trying to get the resolveip to return the server ip | 23:45 |
| AviMarcus | hmm. can I set a keyboard shortcut to move it from the left screen to the right? I didn't notice one for that. | 23:45 |
| ilovefairuz | aol: "Planner" ? | 23:45 |
| mrman208 | AviMarcus: If you were on a Mac I could give you an AppleScript to do it :P | 23:45 |
| ilovefairuz | oal ^ | 23:46 |
| === jordan is now known as Guest40517 | ||
| AviMarcus | winsplit on PC did it :) | 23:46 |
| mrman208 | AviMarcus: Move all windows to one monitor, that is | 23:46 |
| deanimean | AviMarcus, use compiz config | 23:46 |
| Samus_Aran | AviMarcus: ICEWM has that feature (using the numeric keypad to represent where to place a window, it's handy. e.g. 5 centers, 9 in the upper right corner) | 23:46 |
| === Guest40517 is now known as jordan99 | ||
| deanimean | AviMarcus, ah. well, no idea. | 23:46 |
| dexi | ilovefairuz, that wget worked and chrome seems to download things just fine... I wonder what firefox's problem is :-/ | 23:46 |
| Samus_Aran | night | 23:46 |
| oal | ilovefairuz, yea, an application that can be used for planning, drafts, mind maps etc. I'd like to get a more organized planning solution before starting to work on a new project | 23:47 |
| magicianlord | what's better: gnome or kde | 23:47 |
| mrman208 | dexi: Firefox's problem is is that it uses gecko :P (Not really) | 23:47 |
| mrman208 | magicianlord: In terms of ease of use, IMHO, GNOME is better. | 23:47 |
| magicianlord | firefox is still good | 23:47 |
| ilovefairuz | oal: there's an actual application called 'planner' | 23:47 |
| magicianlord | yes | 23:47 |
| magicianlord | what about blackbox? | 23:47 |

| Somelauw | mrman208, I uninstalled netbeans 6.8 | 23:48 |
