| ZykoticK9 | pepper_haze, 2010 10th month - you answered your own question... ;) | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| djstephen | does ubuntu still provide stickers free of charge | 00:00 |
| tsziklay | sparrW: I see, and to find the java files I would do something like "which java" correct? | 00:00 |
| aeon-ltd | ZykoticK9: damn you beat me, officer obvious :) | 00:00 |
| pepper_haze | Oh cool ZykoticK9 all 10s | 00:00 |
| Oer | ZykoticK9, the first time i mounted my dvd-rw, it took 1 minute to show the empty dvd-rw on desktop. | 00:00 |
| sparrW | tsziklay: possibly. 'which java' will probably lead you to a symlink to a symlink to a symlink to a binary somewhere under where JAVA_HOME should point :) | 00:00 |
| Pirat_Michi | hi, (wie) ist es möglich der Crontab zu sagen sie solle etwas jeden zweiten Sonntag ausführen? | 00:00 |

| ZykoticK9 | Ramza, see Oer's comment above | 00:01 |
| pepper_haze | !de | Pirat_Michi | 00:01 |
| ubottu | Pirat_Michi: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. | 00:01 |
| djstephen | so i take it they dont | 00:01 |
| tsziklay | sheesh, this seems way too complicated for something as simple as typing "grails dev run-app" into a terminal window... | 00:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | djstephen, i've never heard of free stickers before - there MAY still be free CDs with shipit, but that's being phased out... :( | 00:02 |
| polter | you used to get stickers with the cd's | 00:03 |
| djstephen | i got my free cd today the last one i got last year came with free stickers | 00:03 |
| SH-Chris | RedLance_: Does teh alternate installer include a partitioner as well? | 00:03 |
| ZykoticK9 | polter, djstephen i never got sticks with my 9.10 or 10.04 :( | 00:03 |
| RedLance_ | SH-Chris: Yes, it does. | 00:03 |
| Pirat_Michi | @ pepper_haze sry, didn't mentioned speaking german. ;) | 00:03 |
| deanimean | system76 provides stickers, but they are the old style | 00:03 |
| deanimean | ubuntu sells newer ones | 00:03 |
| polter | ZykoticK9, I haven't used shipit cd's since 7.04 I think | 00:03 |
| djstephen | i wanted to get a powered by ubuntu sticker | 00:03 |
| Ramzes | Zykotick9: thanks for the tip. Well this is weird. Cause I can play audio | 00:03 |
| Ramzes | CD via bankshee but cannot access via nautilus | 00:04 |

| ZykoticK9 | Ramza, try putting a data CD in the drive - see if it automounts, if not try manually mounting it from CLI and see any errors | 00:05 |
| Ramza | ZykoticK9: Please hit tab one more time each time. | 00:05 |
| ZykoticK9 | Ramza, sorry! | 00:05 |

| Sia- | Hi, why FF doesnøt take spellchecker from aspel-* like pidgin and xchat, because FF in debian does and no need to install dictionary from mozilla.org | 00:09 |
| StealFalcon | hi | 00:10 |
| soreau | Sia-: Ubuntu doesn't make firefox, mozilla does. | 00:10 |
| StealFalcon | i need help bad | 00:10 |
| StealFalcon | hello | 00:10 |
| soreau | ! ask | StealFalcon | 00:10 |
| ubottu | StealFalcon: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 00:10 |
| Sia- | soreau, JUST TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I TALKING ABOUT | 00:10 |
| Ramzes | Zykotick9: Thanks for the help. I experimented with audio CDs before. when I used a data CD it automounted. I wonder why it does not with audio CDs? You saved me a lot of frustration | 00:10 |
| StealFalcon | i downloaded a song from frostwire and both my built in players have probs opening the | 00:11 |
| soreau | ! caps | Sia- | 00:11 |
| ubottu | Sia-: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 00:11 |
| StealFalcon | them | 00:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | Ramza, i don't think nautilus/ubuntu does audio cds by default... not sure. | 00:11 |
| maco | Ramzes: audio cds dont need to be mounted | 00:11 |
| Sia- | soreau, please dont write me something | 00:11 |
| maco | Ramzes: only data cds | 00:11 |
| maco | Ramzes: audio cds just plain play when you open a music player | 00:11 |
| StealFalcon | hello? | 00:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Jello! | 00:12 |
| yawar | StealFalcon: what's the song's file format and what built-in players do you have? | 00:12 |
| soreau | StealFalcon: Are you sure the file you downloaded is a valid audio file? | 00:12 |
| StealFalcon | mp3 only the default ubuntu 9,10 players | 00:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | Sia-, i did a "quick" search on launchpad for a firefox/aspell bug(s) but I couldn't find anything. Good luck. | 00:13 |
| StealFalcon | 9.10 | 00:13 |
| soreau | StealFalcon: Which format is the song in and which player are you trying to use? | 00:13 |
| Sia- | ZykoticK9, i found this too, if is bugy then ok thnx alot | 00:13 |
| Ramzes | maco: Thanks for the info. Btw any idea how to rip audio music out from a cd to a hd? | 00:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Ramzes: dozens of tools to do that. | 00:14 |
| maco | Ramzes: rhythmbox (the default music player) can do that | 00:14 |
| Dr_Willis | most of the media players have the feature | 00:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | StealFalcon, have you installed "ubuntu-restriected-extras" | 00:14 |
| marija | the documentation is outdated for installing fglrx on 10.04. its 9.10 as latest version mentioned ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI ). are fglrx drivers still in the repos? | 00:14 |
| maco | marija: yes | 00:14 |
| StealFalcon | i dont think so y? | 00:14 |
| yawar | StealFalcon: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats#Playing Restricted Formats | 00:14 |
| Dr_Willis | marija: yes they are.. but what cards are supported by the drivers - changes | 00:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | marija, use System / Admin / Hardware Drivers (if you can, not sure about ATI stuff though) | 00:15 |
| StealFalcon | so whats with it | 00:15 |
| yawar | StealFalcon: sorry, make that https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats#Playing%20Restricted%20Formats | 00:15 |
| anml | currently I have the "error: no such device" issue, and am loaded into ubuntu on a live CD. now what do I do D: | 00:15 |
| cousteau`live | why does Empathy not support IRC by default? | 00:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | cousteau`live, BUG - you need to add another type of account PRIOR to trying to setup IRC! | 00:16 |
| cousteau`live | but support Facebook Chat? | 00:16 |
| cousteau`live | ZykoticK9: ok, let me try | 00:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | cousteau`live, BUT - Empathy is terrible for IRC, i strongly recommend a real client | 00:16 |
| StealFalcon | basicly installing pay only formats right? | 00:16 |
| StealFalcon | pigen | 00:16 |
| StealFalcon | pidgin | 00:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | StealFalcon, it's not "pay" - non-free as in freedom, not beer ;) | 00:17 |
| mistergibson | Please Help. I have an ATI X1650 XT - need a yes-this-will-work how to guide on getting glx running on it. fglrx refuses to modprobe | 00:17 |
| cousteau`live | ZykoticK9: if empathy is similar to pidgin, it will be terrible to any chat protocol | 00:17 |
| StealFalcon | ok im lost so the codects are closed source? | 00:17 |
| pepper_haze | did they ever update the ubuntu music store? | 00:17 |
| yawar | StealFalcon: once you install the package mentioned, you'll be able to play MP3 | 00:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | cousteau`live, i've never tried using IRC in either of them. i use them for IM only. | 00:18 |
| Dr_Willis | StealFalcon: restart the players after installing the packages. | 00:18 |
| StealFalcon | so its just the codects? | 00:18 |
| cousteau`live | argh, I can't create an MSN account without telling my computer to store the password on the keyring | 00:18 |
| anml | anyone? D: | 00:18 |
| StealFalcon | they arent open source | 00:18 |
| Dr_Willis | StealFalcon: codecs can have 'legal' limitations. | 00:18 |
| StealFalcon | as in? | 00:18 |
| cousteau`live | ZykoticK9: isn't IRC a type of instant messaging? | 00:19 |
| Dr_Willis | StealFalcon: as in what? as in theres legal restrictions on them... | 00:19 |
| pepper_haze | cousteau`live, if you want to use msn messenger with linux, don't use empanthy, aMSN is alot better | 00:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | cousteau`live, not in my opinion - 2 different things | 00:19 |
| StealFalcon | yes | 00:19 |
| incar | im drivig | 00:19 |
| imanc | incar - stop using computer and drive god damn you | 00:19 |
| StealFalcon | what are the legal implemetations? | 00:20 |
| yawar | StealFalcon: basically the implementations of the codecs are open source, but the codecs themselves are patented--so legally you shouldn't use the implementations in countries where the patents are enforced | 00:20 |
| ZykoticK9 | !ot | StealFalcon | 00:20 |
| ubottu | StealFalcon: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 00:20 |
| incar | hah pretty goo | 00:20 |
| incar | good | 00:20 |
| cousteau`live | pepper_haze: agree, but I'm on a LiveCD and I want to reserve my RAM for other purposes | 00:20 |
| StealFalcon | ty | 00:20 |
| ZykoticK9 | StealFalcon, i sent that cause this isn't the channel to "discuss" things - it's support only, or is suppose to be. | 00:20 |
| cousteau`live | *although I wasn't thinking of connecting to MSN, just creating the acount( | 00:20 |
| anml | I am receiving the "error: no such device" message when I try to boot into Win/Ubuntu. | 00:21 |
| diana_ | ? | 00:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | anml, likely a grub error? are you using grub1 or grub2 (if you're not sure tell what version of ubuntu you are using, AND if it was upgraded or not) | 00:22 |
| * cousteau`live dislikes gaim, pidgin and empathy and would like to have a good multi-protocol client | 00:22 | |
| anml | latest ubuntu, grub2 I assume | 00:22 |
| mikubuntu | guys, i'm at a friends trying to install 10.04, and it failed on the first partitioning step (says it failed to partition the ext4 file) what could be the problem, it will not go forward from here. this is a usb stick i'm using, but i do have an alt install in the car. | 00:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | !grub2 | anml | 00:22 |
| ubottu | anml: 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 | 00:22 |
| cousteau`live | next fresh install will be from the minimal cd | 00:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | anml, do the change root stuff from CD and let GRUB2 try to automatically resetup | 00:22 |
| anml | how D: | 00:23 |
| yawar | cousteau`live: kopete? | 00:23 |
| RedLance_ | Where is my kernel image located? Or, can I get a directory listing from the boot: prompt? | 00:23 |
| cousteau`live | yawar: gnome | 00:23 |
| anml | haven't used linux in a few years, I don't remember anything :P | 00:23 |
| cousteau`live | well, will give kopete a try | 00:23 |
| Dr_Willis | RedLance_: grub2 has some command line options - yes.. check the grub2 docs . i cant recall how to get a directory listing. | 00:23 |
| LUCHO2385 | HELLO!!!! | 00:24 |
| RedLance_ | Dr_Willis: Thanks | 00:24 |
| cousteau`live | if kopete is good, I'll suggest to make a clone of it for gnome | 00:24 |
| deanimean | go pete? | 00:24 |
| kermit | 10.4, chromium and java apps, how? | 00:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | anml, you need to read the link ubottu gave you. best of luck man, ask if you have any questions after reading it. | 00:24 |
| LUCHO2385 | KOPETE IS NOT BETTER THAN PIDGIN | 00:24 |
| latit | uh oh | 00:24 |
| jpds | !caps > LUCHO2385 | 00:24 |
| ubottu | LUCHO2385, please see my private message | 00:24 |
| deanimean | kermit, openjre or sun? | 00:24 |
| jpds | !best > LUCHO2385 | 00:24 |
| aeon-ltd | LUCHO2385: please don;t start flame wars | 00:25 |
| kermit | deanimean: anything that works would be fine | 00:25 |
| pepper_haze | cousteau`live, use aMSN, thats the best msg, and it really doesn't use that much ram | 00:25 |
| deanimean | kermit, they both do. | 00:25 |
| disse | help me, I'm at the ubuntu live cd and mounting a crypted device is not working | 00:25 |
| disse | http://codepad.org/jpcSlCQV | 00:25 |
| kermit | deanimean: how? | 00:25 |
| deanimean | kermit, chromium from where | 00:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | kermit, have you tried both java versions? i though chromium used java quite easily at this point. | 00:25 |
| disse | hmm? your @ a flame war.... | 00:25 |
| kermit | deanimean: from the usual way of installing anything | 00:25 |
| SimonSayez | Anyone have any problems with Google Earth on Ubuntu Linux ? | 00:25 |
| Ramzes | Once again Guys for your help. I am still learning linux and you saved me a lot of time and nerves!!! | 00:25 |
| cousteau`live | pepper_haze: it's the one I normally use for MSN, but I'm on a live CD now | 00:25 |
| hiexpo | pidgin ^ | 00:25 |
| deanimean | kermit, do you have any java installed now? | 00:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | !anyone > SimonSayez | 00:25 |
| ubottu | SimonSayez, please see my private message | 00:25 |
| cousteau`live | although I'm using MSN less each day | 00:25 |
| pepper_haze | cousteau`live, just install the live cd, and then install aMSN | 00:26 |
| Wiesshund | anyone tried the 10.7 catalyst driver yet? | 00:26 |
| cousteau`live | pepper_haze: actually, you don't need to install a cd to install programs on it, you can install them on RAM | 00:26 |
| SimonSayez | I get my java from Oracle and install from the shell script | 00:26 |
| deanimean | kermit, well for the openjdk install openjkd-jre and icedtea6-plugin for suns, enable the partner repo and install sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-jre | 00:26 |
| Ramzes | Thanks and goodnight | 00:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | cousteau`live, i agree with pepper_haze's remarks about aMSN (although i don't even use it anymore) | 00:26 |
| cousteau`live | I'm jsut testing Lucid before I upgrade | 00:26 |
| LUCHO2385 | sorry for uppercase... is my first time here. I never used this before | 00:27 |
| cousteau`live | don't want something critical such as music or youtube videos not working and not being able to downgrade | 00:27 |
| yawar | what's the general experience with the nouveau driver for nvidia cards? is it fast? stable? | 00:27 |
| kermit | deanimean, ZykoticK9: i have both sun and open installed | 00:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | kermit, +1 on deanimean's last suggsetion | 00:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | kermit, try open first if that fails try sun | 00:27 |
| SimonSayez | its not sun anymore its Oracle Java | 00:28 |
| maco | yawar: most systems it cant do 3D, but the nvidia user i know prefers it over the closed driver | 00:28 |
| pepper_haze | I use aMSN, the linux version of skype, and gyanchi for YM, I think those are the best messagers for linux | 00:28 |
| cousteau`live | yawar: have an nvidia card, the live cd didn-t display any 3D effects and requested me to install the nvidia drivers when I tried to enable them | 00:28 |
| maco | SimonSayez: and oracle's attempts at changing that string *totally* break eclipse | 00:28 |
| SimonSayez | maco lol | 00:28 |
| cousteau`live | so I guess (and it's just a guess) that it's not very good at 3D | 00:28 |
| cousteau`live | either that or I was using vesa and I'm now installing nouveau | 00:29 |
| maco | cousteau`live: 3D is in theory not supported at all | 00:29 |
| packrat | so, i have ubuntu 10.04 on my netbook. it would seem that the wireless has been disabled. I believe it is related to the switch used to toggle the wireless card but its not responding. thoughts? | 00:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | cousteau`live, you can't properly install nvidia from LiveCD i don't think! (requires reboot) | 00:29 |
| pepper_haze | cousteau`live, you have to set the graphics effects amount first, then you have to install the driver | 00:29 |
| maco | cousteau`live: in practice, a few cards (the ones that match what the developers of nouveau have) can do it | 00:29 |
| deanimean | kermit, sudo update-alternatives --config java (java{tab complete}) and select which you need. | 00:29 |
| cousteau`live | ZykoticK9: I bet I can just restart X | 00:29 |
| hiexpo | as far as all around messangers go the one i have found to meat my expectations and needs all a round being able to use msn , yahoo myspace, facebook and many others pidgin wins > thumbs up | 00:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | cousteau`live, incorrect it's a kernel module | 00:29 |
| cousteau`live | what's the live CD user password, just in case I lose my bet? | 00:29 |
| deanimean | kermit, apart from that, there is nothing else to it. | 00:30 |
| packrat | should i just elevate all actions on the signed in account? and if so, how do i do that? | 00:30 |
| maco | cousteau`live: ubuntu, i think | 00:30 |
| yawar | cousteau`live: weird that it asked you to install nvidia's driver | 00:30 |
| hiexpo | cousteau`live, there is none | 00:30 |
| cousteau`live | ZykoticK9: I've installed nvidia drivers and then just run sudo service gdm restart | 00:30 |
| cousteau`live | and they worked | 00:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | hiexpo, "sometime" there is! i've seen it several time. | 00:30 |
| maco | packrat: sudo modprobe -r [wireless driver] && sudo modprobe [wireless driver] <-- maybe that if you know your module's name | 00:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | cousteau`live, i don't believe you, best of luck man. | 00:30 |
| mikubuntu | guys, i'm at a friends trying to install 10.04, and it failed on the first partitioning step (says it failed to partition the ext4 file) what could be the problem, it will not go forward from here. this is a usb stick i'm using, but i do have an alt install in the car. | 00:31 |
| packrat | maco, i did a rfkill list, and it says wireless LAN is hard blocked | 00:32 |
| pepper_haze | Hey maco, how are you? | 00:32 |
| earthling_ | hi, I'm trying to install my printer, where do I find the PPD file for HP deskjet printers? can't find it on HP website or on hp-setup | 00:32 |
| hiexpo | i am sos so sorry to inform you of this greatly and devistating bad news but ubuntu has no password | 00:32 |
| maco | packrat: ok.... i dont know. i just know that when my rfkill switch didnt work my way of undoing it was to unload/reload the module | 00:32 |
| antonio_ | is there any easy way to share files between two ubuntu laptops? | 00:32 |
| packrat | hm | 00:33 |
| maco | hiexpo: mmm i thought sudo was configured on the live cd to not need one, but that if you somehow got to a gdm screen you needed one? | 00:33 |
| packrat | i dont know my modules name though | 00:33 |
| aeon-ltd | antonio_: samba? | 00:33 |
| deanimean | ssh | 00:33 |
| maco | pepper_haze: okie doo. you? | 00:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | earthling_, http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting might help, good luck. | 00:33 |
| antonio_ | aeon-ltd: so do I need samba installed on both machines? | 00:33 |
| maco | packrat: what kind of wireless card is it? | 00:33 |
| BraveSaintStuart | so, I'm having what I can presumably be described as a boot loader problem | 00:33 |
| packrat | not sure. its an acer aspire one | 00:33 |
| packrat | jas | 00:34 |
| pepper_haze | maco, I am a little depressed over the shooting that happened in the news yesterday, other then that, I am fine | 00:34 |
| maco | packrat: pastebin the output of "lspci" please | 00:34 |
| aeon-ltd | antonio_: no only one can host the samba server and if set up the other can access it with/without password | 00:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | antonio_, share between - SSH --- Places / Connect to Server / SSH - enter details. | 00:34 |
| hiexpo | there is only a couple of distros that i know of that had a password set to login live | 00:34 |
| mikubuntu | says :: The ext4 file system creation in partition #1 of Serial ATA RAID isw_bebjjhjaff_ARRAY (mirror) failed. | 00:34 |
| packrat | maco, uhm, im not on this chnnel with the netbook in question | 00:34 |
| aeon-ltd | antonio_: although since your already using nautilus i'd look up dropbox :) | 00:34 |
| BraveSaintStuart | I'm not exactly sure what is going on with my boot loader, but for now, all I know is that the only way I can boot an OS is by using my ubuntu installer file on my flash drive | 00:34 |
| antonio_ | zykotick9: how easy is that to steup? | 00:35 |
| earthling_ | thx Zykotick9 | 00:35 |
| maco | packrat: oh...ok then run lspci and look for something about network | 00:35 |
| packrat | got it | 00:35 |
| packrat | atheros AR5001 | 00:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | antonio_, easy install openssh server and you're done. | 00:35 |
| === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach | ||
| maco | hiexpo: when you boot you dont need one, it does autologin, but i think you can log out and then you do need one | 00:35 |
| maco | packrat: lsmod | grep ath | 00:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | earthling_, did you find it already? | 00:35 |
| BraveSaintStuart | i'm not sure if windows keeps uninstalling it or what's happening | 00:35 |
| maco | packrat: might see ath5k or ath9k or something like that? | 00:35 |
| earthling_ | I'm looking | 00:35 |
| BraveSaintStuart | but simply reinstalling grub doesn't seem to work either | 00:36 |
| packrat | yup, ath5k | 00:36 |
| maco | packrat: thatd be your module's name | 00:36 |
| hiexpo | never seen that | 00:36 |
| antonio_ | zykotick9: I have like 3 1/2 gigs to transfer...any idea how long it may take..other lappy gets weird after a few minutes | 00:36 |
| BraveSaintStuart | I hate to be annoying, but anybody got an answer for me on that? | 00:36 |
| ZykoticK9 | antonio_, technically "a long time" ;) | 00:37 |
| packrat | cool, that worked. thanks maco | 00:37 |
| maco | packrat: yay! | 00:37 |
| packrat | is there a way to disable the hard-disabling switch? | 00:37 |
| cousteau`live | &quit restarting session, let's see what happens | 00:37 |
| cousteau`live | oops | 00:37 |
| BraveSaintStuart | hi anyone | 00:38 |
| antonio_ | zykotick9: any idea for anything that would be faster? | 00:38 |
| racerd | how do i configure grub to find a windows installation on a drive i threw into my linux box? | 00:38 |
| hiexpo | i am being lazy but what was the problem witn a ath5k card? | 00:38 |
| SimonSayez | How are you downloading flv files from youtube to Ubuntu Linux ? | 00:39 |
| hiexpo | BraveSaintStuart, be patient if anyone can help they will ok | 00:40 |
| packrat | hiexpo, good question. ubuntu 10.04 seems unresponsive to hard-enable switches | 00:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | antonio_, 3+GB is going to take a long time across network, no matter what you use to share the files. | 00:40 |

| antonio_ | hmm | 00:40 |
| BraveSaintStuart | hiexpo: yessir | 00:41 |
| SimonSayez | I need a Linux method to grab flv files from youtube | 00:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | racerd, assuming Grub2 - just let grub autodetect from the chrooted LiveCD and it "should" pick up the new Windows option. See !grub2 for details. | 00:41 |
| JohnRobert | is f-spot still the most popular/best photo organising tool on ubuntu? | 00:41 |
| hiexpo | !youtube-dl > SimonSayez | 00:41 |
| racerd | chrooted livecd? | 00:42 |
| linxeh | JohnRobert: that or picasa (if you dont mind commercial software) | 00:42 |
| racerd | what is that? | 00:42 |
| SimonSayez | hiexpo, That doesnt work for me | 00:42 |
| packrat | SimonSayez, i think there is a javascript | 00:42 |
| JohnRobert | ta | 00:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | SimonSayez, as they are playing they are stored in /tmp as a Flashj3kjkj file - just get a download plugin for your web browser | 00:42 |
| SimonSayez | packrat, trying to Google more info on it | 00:42 |
| packrat | javascript:if(document.location.href.match(/http:\/\/[a-zA-Z\.]*youtube\.com\/watch/)){document.location.href='http://www.youtube.com/get_video?fmt='+(isHDAvailable?'22':'18')+'&video_id='+swfArgs['video_id']+'&t='+swfArgs['t']} | 00:42 |

| thune3 | SimonSayez: i always get the latest youtube-dl from http://bitbucket.org/rg3/youtube-dl/downloads , since ubuntu repo doesn't keep up | 00:43 |
| tesuji | anyone know about setting up dialup? i have an ancient laptop which wvdial does not recognize the modem | 00:43 |

| ubottu | 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 | 00:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | SimonSayez, if it's ONLY Youtube you want to download from check out the CLI application youtube-dl (NOTE the version in repo may be broken) | 00:43 |
| SimonSayez | thune3, let me try that thanks | 00:43 |
| hiexpo | SimonSayez, you need the new one use Google i can not discus that here OK it is illegal | 00:43 |
| === tuizim is now known as dtcrshr | ||

| kermit | deanimean: neither alternative worked | 00:45 |
| kermit | deanimean: i removed the open* things which would run but just spin the cpu, but i cant figure out how to install the sun-java6-plugin | 00:45 |
| cousteau`live | so you were right, I can't use the nvidia drivers, at least now! | 00:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | kermit, you need to add the parner repo | 00:46 |
| Dr_Willis | !partner | 00:46 |
| ubottu | Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 00:46 |

| outer_space | what do I do with this message when I login with "You have new mail in /var/mail/root" how to read this? | 00:51 |
| kuna | anyone know how to fix pointer styles being ignored in GNOME in 10.04? | 00:51 |
| antonio_ | zykotick9: how in the heck do I use openssh? this is confusing as hell | 00:52 |
| bastidrazor | outer_space: /var/mail/ should be thelocation of this | 00:52 |

| tesuji | anyone know about setting up dialup? i have an ancient laptop which wvdial does not recognize the modem | 00:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | antonio_, once the server is installed on one machine try "ssh localhost" then log in and use exit to close the ssh session - just to test it's working | 00:53 |
| bastidrazor | outer_space: go to that directory and read it with a text editor. there is normally a crazy named file there. | 00:53 |
| BraveSaintStuart | so... again, just because my mention of anything is long gone, here's the whole situation... I have a netbook with win7 on it. I installed Ubuntu. I haven't done anything additional that I know of that would affect the way the OSs boot, but now Grub will not come up and neither will any OS, unless of course I run Ubuntu from the installer | 00:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | antonio_, sorry "exit" is a command to close the ssh session (if that wasn't clear) | 00:54 |
| YankDownUnder | kuna, Have you tried "sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme" ? | 00:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | kuna, turn off compiz and i bet your cursor shows up! | 00:55 |
| earthling_ | Zykotick9, checked that link, still can't find it, I suppose I could try a PPD file for a different printer | 00:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | earthling_, so long as it's CLOSE in model! | 00:55 |
| kuna | ZykoticK9: aye, it does | 00:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | earthling_, have you just tried googling your printer model and PPD? sorry for the !google violation. | 00:56 |
| earthling_ | yes | 00:56 |
| BraveSaintStuart | in addition, I know that if I can get to the boot loader, everything boots fine | 00:56 |
| antonio_ | sorry zykotick9: this is confusing as hell...methinks samba or another gui might be a ton easier for me | 00:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | kuna, common issue - not sure if there are various bugs about it? | 00:56 |
| SimonSayez | okay that new youtube-dl works GREAT on Ubuntu | 00:56 |
| kuna | YankDownUnder: I would like the selection to follow the GNOME appearance pref's, not necessarily change the default every time I want to change the cursor. | 00:56 |
| BraveSaintStuart | so I don't know if it's just a problem with Grub being overridden by Windows or if it's something else | 00:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | antonio_, no forget about the cosole stuff now! you can use the Gnome GUI for connect to Server! | 00:56 |
| SimonSayez | I was able to capture flv file | 00:57 |
| antonio_ | ah | 00:57 |
| deanimean | SimonSayez, youtube-dl -b -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" youtube-url | 00:57 |

| antonio_ | ok np, brb | 00:58 |
| pepito | How can I use gdebi in order to install a program with all its dependencies locally (provided that I already have such program with all its dependencies in a folder)?? | 00:58 |
| deanimean | they changed it again? | 00:59 |
| Dr_Willis | pepito: well with dpkg you could do 'sudo dpkg -i *.deb' in that dir. | 00:59 |
| Dr_Willis | pepito: that might work with gedebi. or copy all the debs to /var/cache/apt/????? (whever the devbs are archived at) | 00:59 |
| earthling_ | Zykotick9, my printer is HP Deskjet D4160 , its 4 years old, so it should work with ubuntu right? | 00:59 |
| bastidrazor | Dr_Willis /var/cache/apt/archives/ .. you were close | 01:00 |
| Dr_Willis | earthling_: check the cups.org site to see where its at. | 01:00 |
| Dr_Willis | bastidrazor: yea. They need tab completion for paths on IRC. :) | 01:00 |
| ZykoticK9 | earthling_, i have no idea | 01:00 |
| antonio_ | so zkycotick9: I went to term...did open ssh...asked for a password... | 01:00 |
| antonio_ | seems like it worked thus far | 01:00 |

| cousteau`live | OMG it's true! | 01:02 |
| cousteau`live | now I do want a GUI for IRSSI | 01:02 |
| pepito | Dr_Willis, I am too much of a purist to consider the /var/cache/apt/?? approach. That leaves us the gdebi and dpkg route. With dpkg -i it would probably work, the only problem is that I have a giant folder with many programs and I would like dpkg to JUST install a given program and its dependencies (kinda like apt-get would do)... of course, I could classify programs and its dependencies by folders and that would do it,but still... | 01:02 |
| pepito | gdebi sounds good in principle | 01:02 |
| pepito | because it is intended to work locally | 01:02 |
| Dr_Willis | cousteau`live: smuxi is almost that.. I perfer weechat however. | 01:02 |
| cousteau`live | cause I'm too used to point-and-click... although it's good even from terminal | 01:02 |
| pepito | the problem is that it only takes the main *.deb program locally | 01:02 |
| pepito | in order to get the deps it tries to go online | 01:02 |
| pepito | which is against what I would like to do | 01:03 |
| deanimean | ZykoticK9, looks like they messed with it again....ugh | 01:03 |
| Dr_Willis | pepito: may as well copy them to /var/cache/apt/archives/ and be done with it.. they will get copied there anyway i belive once you install them | 01:03 |
| ZykoticK9 | deanimean, i miss -b :(.. | 01:03 |
| Dr_Willis | pepito: you would need ALL that it needs in the cache. one way or another. :) | 01:03 |
| antonio_ | zykotick9: whenever you have some free time, can you help me to fire up the gui and figure out how to do this | 01:04 |
| shiv | Ia m trying to use aptoncd but its not listing all the programs that are installed. I can add folders in which the other programs are but what is the C:\Program Files equivalent in linux? | 01:04 |
| Dr_Willis | pepito: problem with keeping an app and asll its 'debs' in a folder. is that you are wasting a lot of space with redundant debs, You could use links i guess.. but what are you gaining by this sorting stuff out. | 01:04 |
| ZykoticK9 | antonio_, now is always good, do you know the IP of the other machine (any firewall/routing issues we need to know about)? | 01:04 |

| antonio_ | whats the term command for discovering the ip? | 01:05 |
| pepito | Dr_Willis, that's why I didn't do it: I would end up having the same deps repeated over and over in different folders | 01:05 |
| ZykoticK9 | antonio_, from the other machine try Places / Connect to Server / then select SSH for type and enter the IP address of server and your username and stuff... | 01:05 |
| Queuetip | antonio_ ifconfig | 01:05 |
| pepito | an approach that worked kinda neatly was that of editing sources.list | 01:05 |
| pepito | and adding a "deb file:/" line | 01:05 |

| rockman | got some problem here | 01:06 |
| cousteau`live | echo "Your IP is: $(wget www.whatismyip.org -qO-)" | 01:06 |

| nixoeen | NetworkManager doesn't show up DSL Connections (PPPoE) when I'm connecting to a Wireless Accesspoint. However, it's showing them with wired Ethernet connection. Anyone else had this problem ? | 01:07 |
| deanimean | ZykoticK9, was the repo version, but use the newer script. just +x it and replace | 01:07 |
| deanimean | ZykoticK9, -b works. | 01:07 |
| pepito | but it works worse if you try to force apt-get to install from a local source such as a usb-drive or a folder in your hdd | 01:07 |
| zex | uhat is the command to list attached thumb drives? | 01:07 |
| pepito | somehow it insists in going online | 01:07 |

| johnf_ | any help would be appreciated | 01:23 |
| wildeja | ZykoticK9, That will work over network?, if so i will go do my research :) | 01:23 |
| tesuji | Dr_Willis, yes i looked and apparently i have to manuall configure and it is nontrivial | 01:24 |
| yaaang | help, update-notifier never pops up even when i have updates. using 10.04, installed from scratch 2 months ago. i think update-notifier never worked. | 01:24 |
| chromer | I am looking for away to make 10.04 LTS to properly disable the touchpad entirely when I have a mouse connected. I had it working in the 2 prior versions, but what I am trying to do as I did before is not working this time. | 01:24 |
| Dr_Willis | tesuji: very possible. Ive not used it in ages. but whats to configure? enter your phone # and other info.. and dial in... | 01:24 |
| Dr_Willis | tesuji: last i used dialup in linux it wasent too hard. :) but i used wvdial i recall | 01:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | wildbat, ya rsync can certainly be used across networks, but perhaps only through ssh pipes? I don't use rsync very much but you should Definitely look into it! | 01:25 |
| tesuji | Dr_Willis, networkmanager does not see my serial modem :( so i have to use setserial and give it information i don't know :( | 01:25 |
| deanimean | chromer, I think you might want gpointing-device-settings | 01:25 |
| MaRk-I | ndxtg: just search for cheat sheets ;^) http://www.scottklarr.com/topic/103/regular-expressions-cheat-sheets/ | 01:25 |
| chromer | I have tried touchfreeze and the command "syndaemon -d -t -i 1" | 01:25 |
| Dr_Willis | tesuji: are you sure the modem even has linux support. | 01:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | wildeja, see above. sorry wildbat (bad with tab today, and other days too ;) | 01:25 |
| tesuji | Dr_Willis, and like everybody else i haven't used a modem in 20 years | 01:25 |
| chromer | deanimean: where do I find that or do I need to get that from synaptic? | 01:26 |
| tesuji | Dr_Willis, i don't know | 01:26 |
| Dr_Willis | tesuji: since network manager dosent see it.. i would almost bet its not supported. | 01:26 |
| tesuji | Dr_Willis, but it's a serial device and there are standards... | 01:26 |
| cousteau`live | I guess every java based thing will be borked due to openjdk vs sun java... if I find bugs (although I avoid the usage of java) I'll install the old sun-java6 | 01:26 |
| deanimean | chromer, I *think* it has the option to disable touchpad.. but wether it has an option to disable when mouse is used I dont know. yes just in the main repo | 01:26 |
| === L33T_ is now known as L33T | ||
| tesuji | Dr_Willis, once you config with setserial then there are tools to configure and use - but it doesn't see the modem :( | 01:27 |
| chromer | deanimean: I will try it | 01:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | tesuji, i've NEVER used a modem with linux before, but i know a lot of "Win-modems" don't work. have you checked that your modem works in linux? | 01:27 |
| tesuji | ZykoticK9, if you aren't familiar with modems you need to read th docs | 01:27 |
| Dr_Willis | tesuji: I dont recall ever needing to use setserial on an internal modem.. or is this an external one on the serial port>? | 01:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | tesuji, ok sorry. | 01:28 |
| yaaang | help, update-manager never pops up even when i have updates. using 10.04, installed from scratch 2 months ago. i think this never worked. any ideas on where to look to start debugging this? | 01:28 |
| tesuji | Dr_Willis, it is internal and there is one - i suppose i have to start by figuring out how to figure out what the specs are | 01:28 |
| deanimean | chromer, its prefs are in system menu, it allows touchpad on/off/touchpad tapping scrolling off. | 01:28 |
| wildeja | ZykoticK9, Cheers | 01:29 |
| sparrW|2 | I have requested apt-get to install some packages that require a lot of other packages to be uninstalled. I appear to be stuck with "apt-get -f install" removing those packages, and I don't want that. How can I "cancel" the operation that is pending? | 01:29 |
| tesuji | Dr_Willis, i know! i'll just put windows back on my laptop! what a solution, eh? | 01:29 |
| Dr_Willis | tesuji: i would guss that an internal is 152000 8N1 - but as i said. ive never needed to set those settings for an internal modem. You could fire up minicom and just play with the settings till you can get it to dial out via 'ATDT some-safe-number' | 01:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | sparrW|2, close synaptic? or USC? | 01:29 |
| cousteau`live | sparrW|2: on my system, apt-get -f install also attempts to install or uninstall (can't remember) some packages | 01:30 |
| deanimean | why ubuntu by default doesnt have a simple touch pad OFF utility I dont know..it should. | 01:30 |
| sparrW|2 | ZykoticK9: I am using apt-get and aptitude from the command line | 01:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | sparrW|2, sorry I'm on the trolley now | 01:30 |
| cousteau`live | I think it's not important | 01:30 |
| sparrW|2 | cousteau`live: I can't install anything else until I fix it | 01:30 |
| Dr_Willis | tesuji: i dont care what you do really. :) but I think you may be hitting a 'modem not supported at all, issue. instead of a needing to confiogure it issue' but good luck. Windows MIGHT tell you waht settings you are looking for. | 01:30 |
| cousteau`live | oh | 01:30 |
| knoppies | I plan on upgrading 2 of my systems from 9.04 to 10.04, but I would like to downgrade GDM to 2.10. Are there any issues/concerns that I should be worried about? | 01:31 |
| ZykoticK9 | sparrW|2, "apt-get -f install" is quasi-required to fix your currently broken APT state. that command is suppose to FIX apt. | 01:31 |
| tesuji | Dr_Willis, i'm being facetious - it is not possible to put windows on this laptop - the harddisk croaked and i have installed ubuntu on a thumbdrive | 01:31 |
| jfcaron | Is there a way to copy the file permissions from one file "onto" another file, i.e. keep the contents of the files unchanged, but make the permissions the same? | 01:31 |
| Dr_Willis | jfcaron: if nothing else.. you could script such a thing,. | 01:32 |
| Dr_Willis | jfcaron: i got a possible answer just now when i googled 'bash clone permissions' :) | 01:32 |
| cousteau`live | chmod --reference=OTHERFILE FILE | 01:32 |
| tesuji | Dr_Willis, minicom defaults to tty8 which is an active console - thx for suggest | 01:33 |
| cousteau`live | man chmod | 01:33 |
| sparrW|2 | cousteau`live: I'm only maybe 3 packages away from getting a very conflicted package installed, and now I'm stuck | 01:33 |
| jfcaron | Dr_Willis, cousteau`live: Thanks. | 01:33 |
| cousteau`live | yw | 01:33 |
| sparrW|2 | ZykoticK9: the "fix" it wants to apply is to install 2 packages and uninstall 9 more. Those 9 packages are VERY HARD to install. I would prefer to keep them and not install the other 2. | 01:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | knoppies, that would require 9.04 to 9.10 then update to 10.04. are you sure you can't fresh install? | 01:33 |
| Dr_Willis | jfcaron: perhaps (test this out first) --> cp -rp <source> <target> will keep the perms of the source and put them on | 01:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | sparrW|2, i think those are the packages that are broken! | 01:34 |
| gimmickless_ | Setting up a new install of Ubuntu Server. Trying to use USB wireless to access router with WPA protection. I know the password. I don't know the command to access router with said pw. help? | 01:34 |
| sparrW|2 | ZykoticK9: they are quite broken, I had to use dpkg --ignore-depends heavily to get them installed | 01:34 |
| Dr_Willis | tesuji: set minicom to be the tty of the modem. (dmesg may tell you what that is) | 01:34 |
| jfcaron | Dr_Willis: Turns out the chmod command has that built-in, as cousteau`live mentioned. chmod --reference=REFILE. | 01:35 |
| Dr_Willis | tesuji: also i notice that /dev/ttyS* is owned by the dialout group. perhaps your users need to also be in that group | 01:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | sparrW|2, right! which in the process breaks your APT system. your choice you can keep you broken fix or fix your APT but not both. you also won't be able to update or install anything else you understand? | 01:35 |
| knoppies | ZykoticK9, I meant a fresh install. I had a bad experience with updating back in 2008. Always done fresh installs since. But should I have concerns about downgrading the GDM to 2.10? | 01:35 |
| cousteau`live | don't know if it will also change the owner, though | 01:35 |
| sparrW|2 | ZykoticK9: that is... less than ideal. How can I have packages with unmet dependencies installed and keep apt working? | 01:36 |
| ZykoticK9 | knoppies, i would too. but fresh install is the way to go ;) | 01:36 |
| aleoram | I have downloaded and extracted the latest version of Geany from the website. How do I start it? | 01:36 |

| ZykoticK9 | knoppies, i don't have any specific knowledge of changing GDM, certainly not the new GDM stuff! | 01:36 |
| cousteau`live | look for an already compiled .deb package, they usually have them | 01:37 |
| knoppies | Thank You ZykoticK9 | 01:37 |
| aleoram | cousteau`live, How can I compile it? | 01:37 |

| aleoram | cousteau`live, Repos don't have the latest version of geany. | 01:37 |
| chromer | deanimean: that looks like it is gonna work, it would've been nice tho if there was a utility that detected when no mouse was plugged in to allow it to be undisabled and then when a mouse was plugged in to immediately disable it. (it being the touchpad). and I do know about the "smack spacebar 3 times" trick to reenable the touchpad. | 01:37 |
| Dr_Willis | aleoram: theres PPA repos that have updated versions | 01:37 |
| aleoram | Dr_Willis, I got the source from the website. | 01:37 |
| Dr_Willis | aleoram: then you got to compile the source. good luck. | 01:38 |

| cousteau`live | aleoram: hmm, you're right, neither the repos nor the PPA repository have geany ~ | 01:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | aleoram, that's really not directly an Ubuntu issue... we can support the geany in repo, or quasi-PPA version, but compiling from source... | 01:38 |
| tesuji | Dr_Willis, here is what dmesg says about serial http://pastebin.com/77GmUg9R | 01:38 |
| cousteau`live | *geany 0.19 | 01:39 |
| Dr_Willis | looks like i got the latest geany from some PPA's | 01:39 |
| cousteau`live | well, you'll first need to install build-essential | 01:39 |
| aleoram | cousteau`live, Ok, I'll look in the terminal for that package. | 01:39 |

| ENeGMA | I'm having this exact problem: http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8646053&postcount=53 Does anyone know of any solution? | 01:43 |
| Dr_Willis | tesuji: is there even a /dev/ttyS# for the modem. you have any /dev/ttyS*? | 01:43 |
| frxstrem | is there some proxy software that can be used to log raw network traffic? | 01:43 |
| tesuji | Dr_Willis, yes, 0 to 3, but wvdial doesn't detect a modem on any of them | 01:44 |
| deanimean | chromer, yeah its a bit much there is not yet a nice easy tool to ditch the touchpad.. I`m happy with disabling scroll and mouseclicks.. | 01:44 |
| Dr_Willis | tesuji: this site mentiones that modem - https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=41216 Not ubuntu specific - but it may give some info | 01:44 |

| Dr_Willis | !info slmodem | 01:45 |
| ubottu | Package slmodem does not exist in lucid | 01:45 |
| frxstrem | ZykoticK9: yes, but the problem is that I want to analyze traffic for my iPod touch, and my computer does not receive network traffic from other devices on the network | 01:45 |
| frxstrem | therefore I though I could just get a proxy to do the same thing, and set my iPod up to use that proxy | 01:46 |

| Dr_Willis | ZykoticK9: it does? i just skimmed it.. and dident see it. | 02:06 |
| StuckMojo | this was my mom's old laptop, i'm unfamiliar with it | 02:06 |
| ZykoticK9 | Dr_Willis, it's there ;) | 02:06 |

| gimmickless_ | systemd0wn, no problem. Currently using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo but not yet working yet | 02:07 |
| Dr_Willis | ZykoticK9: seems out of order. :) they should mention that befor you do the ./configure.. but i guess it dosent matter :0 | 02:07 |
| ZykoticK9 | StuckMojo, if you upgraded you might be using grub1 (legacy) still! | 02:07 |
| StuckMojo | ZykoticK9: so? | 02:07 |
| ottermaton | Does anyone know anything about fixing a a slow resume from suspend? In particular on a Dell Vostro v13 | 02:08 |
| StuckMojo | that still had a prompt for single user | 02:08 |
| [thor] | ok, i've got a wierd one guys.. Applications dropdown menu is stuck open, entire top panel is inactive and unresponsive. the remaining desktop is working, docky is working. Which process should i kill to remove the panel? | 02:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | StuckMojo, it's not shift if you're using grub1 | 02:08 |
| StuckMojo | oh. i upgraded from Karmic | 02:08 |
| StuckMojo | fresh install of karmic | 02:08 |
| redvil | need help in mounting using iPod with ubuntu...it doesnt detect the device..how do i go about this? | 02:08 |
| StuckMojo | since the lucid install cd was locking up, but karmic live cd worked fine | 02:08 |
| oarion7 | [thor], gnome-panel, i beleive | 02:08 |
| systemd0wn | ottermaton, most of my suspend/hibernate problems come from driver issues. | 02:08 |
| StuckMojo | ZykoticK9: do you know what it is for grub1? | 02:08 |
| Dr_Willis | !ipod | redvil | 02:08 |
| ubottu | redvil: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod | 02:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | StuckMojo, ESC? i don't remember, sorry | 02:08 |
| StuckMojo | i tried esc i think | 02:09 |
| StuckMojo | shift worked | 02:09 |
| [thor] | oarion7: thanks for the help good sir, it even re-loaded itself! | 02:10 |
| systemd0wn | gimmickless_, what happens when you try to connect? | 02:10 |
| StuckMojo | hmmm...very interesting | 02:10 |
| ottermaton | systemd0wn, what would you suggest I look at? | 02:10 |
| StuckMojo | it boots fine using the old kernel from karmic | 02:10 |
| StuckMojo | i mean x starts and all | 02:10 |

| === IPNixon_ is now known as IPNixon | ||
| StuckMojo | uhhh.... | 02:12 |
| StuckMojo | what takes the place of /etc/inittab now days? | 02:12 |
| systemd0wn | ottermaton, wow, ya it could be damn near anything. Ok, MY issues all stem from acpi issues for instance I can't dim my screen and things like that. Ok, i would do an lspci and dmesg and comb through | 02:12 |
| StuckMojo | i want to see what runlevel is no x but fully up | 02:12 |
| Dr_Willis | StuckMojo: ubuntu dosent do it that way | 02:12 |
| systemd0wn | ottermaton, get a list of all your hardware and look up each one individually and its compatibility with linux | 02:12 |
| Dr_Willis | !upstart | 02:12 |
| 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/ | 02:12 |
| ZykoticK9 | !runlevels | StuckMojo one more for ya ;) | 02:13 |
| ubottu | StuckMojo one more for ya ;): In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 02:13 |
| Dr_Willis | StuckMojo: there is a 'text' option to tell the system to not start X and disables the fancy plymouth and other eye candys at boot. | 02:13 |
| === travis is now known as Guest11331 | ||
| systemd0wn | ottermaton, thankfully people much smarter than us have usually worked out many of these issues, especially with common laptops | 02:13 |
| reff67 | who -r check the current run level use | 02:13 |
| rxKaffee | in Lucid, what provides sound drivers? ALSA, or pulse, or something different? | 02:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | Dr_Willis, are you sure a grub setting can change GDM startup? i though you had to disable GDM separately then the Plymouth stuff. | 02:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | rxKaffee, Pulse is default in Ubuntu - Pulse uses ALSA for lowlevel soundcard stuff BTW | 02:14 |
| StuckMojo | hmph. this is all new | 02:15 |
| StuckMojo | damn it | 02:15 |
| Dr_Willis | ZykoticK9: the TEXT option makes gdm not load. | 02:15 |
| === james is now known as Guest93246 | ||
| ottermaton | systemd0wn, well, I've been searching around and can't find anything really relevant. I even came across a guy who says his vostro v13 resumes in 2.5 seconds. | 02:15 |
| StuckMojo | this is half of why i bailed on Sid earlier this year | 02:15 |
| Dr_Willis | ZykoticK9: not sure how. :) must be in the init scripts checking the boot options | 02:15 |
| rxKaffee | ZykoticK9: so I need to find an alsa kernel module for my sound card then? | 02:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | Dr_Willis, very cool - will try that right now! | 02:15 |
| Dr_Willis | StuckMojo: go back to linux 1.0 ? :) | 02:15 |
| StuckMojo | i f*$king hate insserv and such wacky init methods | 02:15 |
| iflema | !nox | ZykoticK9 | 02:15 |
| ubottu | ZykoticK9: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 02:15 |
| wildbat | any one have a pages that explain how to use iptables? | 02:15 |
| systemd0wn | ottermaton, and how long does that take? Is he using the same OS? 2.5 is pretty damn fast | 02:16 |
| Guest11331 | can someone help me on webkit crashes? any browser that uses webkit browser engine crashes? | 02:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | iflema, thanks! awesome. | 02:16 |
| Dr_Willis | StuckMojo: upstart seems to work decently well. not very wacky at all. Compared to the sysv.. | 02:16 |
| systemd0wn | ottermaton, er how long does yours take? | 02:16 |
| Dr_Willis | I still havent found a good 'upstart for dummies' guide yet. | 02:16 |
| StuckMojo | Dr_Willis: lenny still uses sysv init | 02:16 |
| StuckMojo | Dr_Willis: upstart is different from insserv? | 02:16 |
| ottermaton | systemd0wn, mine takes about 30 seconds. Same machine, same version (10.04) | 02:16 |
| Dr_Willis | StuckMojo: most of the sysv stuff works with upstart.. but its mainly from upstart 'seeing/doing the right thing' for sysv scripts | 02:17 |
| Dr_Willis | StuckMojo: ive never heard of innserv. | 02:17 |
| brummbaer | Dr_Willis: there's a pretty good guide in one of the recent Ubuntu Users magazines | 02:17 |
| Dr_Willis | !info insserv | 02:17 |
| ubottu | insserv (source: insserv): Tool to organize boot sequence using LSB init.d script dependencies. In component main, is required. Version 1.12.0-14 (lucid), package size 66 kB, installed size 288 kB | 02:17 |
| StuckMojo | insserv - Tool to organize boot sequence using LSB init.d script dependencies | 02:17 |
| systemd0wn | ottermaton, you upgraded to the latest kernel? | 02:17 |
| Dr_Willis | StuckMojo: init.d is not used by upstart, /etc/init is. | 02:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | iflema, Dr_Willis AHHH it all becomes clear - text = single user mode, thus the no X starting. | 02:17 |
| systemd0wn | question, FreeRadius PAM module, looking for a binary download since i'm getting compile errors (64bit 10.04) | 02:17 |
| StuckMojo | actually, odds are upstart is what debian switched to as well | 02:17 |
| ottermaton | systemd0wn, yes, I keep up with updates | 02:17 |
| Dr_Willis | ZykoticK9: its not really single user.. it dosent auto-log in does it? I thought single user. dropped to a root shell. | 02:18 |
| === cassiomelo is now known as su37 | ||
| Dr_Willis | StuckMojo: ive not heard of them switching.. but i think some other disrtos have | 02:18 |
| StuckMojo | aaaaanyway, so it's just "text" as a kernel option? | 02:18 |
| === su37 is now known as Su37 | ||
| StuckMojo | Dr_Willis: they definately did in side | 02:18 |
| StuckMojo | sid | 02:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | Dr_Willis, actually the switchs are -text or -S or -s or S or s for Single user modes | 02:18 |
| systemd0wn | ottermaton, ya, man if he has the same OS and hardware but yours is running slower i really have no idea. I would say driver issues but if both of you have default installs i dunno | 02:18 |
| StuckMojo | and i think they are in squeeze as well | 02:18 |
| StuckMojo | hmm | 02:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | Dr_Willis, i'm still going on documentation, haven't tried it yet. | 02:19 |
| Dr_Willis | StuckMojo got unstuck. :) | 02:19 |
| ottermaton | systemd0wn, I don't know if his is exactly a default install, but, yes it is puzzling | 02:20 |
| StuckMojo | yeah they use insserv | 02:20 |
| ottermaton | systemd0wn, thanks for the suggestions though | 02:20 |
| StuckMojo | Dr_Willis: for some reason any time i join #debian now, it kicks me off of freenode completely ;) | 02:20 |
| systemd0wn | ottermaton, no problem. dmesg doesn't have any errors after you come back from suspend? | 02:20 |
| Dr_Willis | StuckMojo: they hate ubuntu that much? :) | 02:20 |
| maco | StuckMojo: try the #debian on OFTC? most debian official channels moved there years ao | 02:21 |
| maco | *ago | 02:21 |
| ottermaton | systemd0wn, no it doesn't | 02:21 |

| sklav | filipe, try this i just googled your card and this is what i found http://nfolamp.wordpress.com/2010/05/02/ubuntu-10-04-and-broadcom-bcm43xx-wireless/ | 02:45 |
| SimonSayez | filipe, Do you know to burn an iso ? | 02:45 |
| ndxtg | filipe: i meant the switch button along the laptop side, not the key combination | 02:46 |
| Frankiitaa | i have tested on many pc and all shown problems | 02:46 |
| Dr_Willis | Frankiitaa: perhaps state the problem. | 02:46 |
| Tecna | SimonSayez: I would think dell would have a separate driverset rather than making you install the complete OS, like windows. >.> | 02:46 |
| sklav | anyways back to why i came here | 02:46 |
| Frankiitaa | dr_willis what do u mean | 02:46 |
| Dr_Willis | Frankiitaa: you have said you have a problem.. thats very Vague.... | 02:47 |
| sklav | anybody try pinging from a command line and notice some serious lag in name ressolution | 02:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Frankiitaa: i use my DVD drives just find under Ubuntu. | 02:47 |
| ndxtg | Dr_Willis: i mainly use egrep and /usr/share/words to test reg_expr | 02:47 |
| SimonSayez | Tecna, I have a Dell laptop and I always keep the Dell Version of Ubuntu Linux because the wifi drivers are built into that live disk | 02:47 |
| Dr_Willis | ndxtg: yea. egrep can be a little different from grep/perl/python. somthing to watch out for. | 02:47 |
| Frankiitaa | all my dvd drives have problems u can see it | 02:48 |
| Dr_Willis | ndxtg: the books i have made that point over and over and over. | 02:48 |
| ndxtg | Dr_Willis: what is the book name again? :) | 02:48 |
| Dr_Willis | Frankiitaa: cant see what? You cant access data disks? you cant burn disks? You cant play movies? they shoot flames out of the slot? | 02:48 |
| Dr_Willis | ndxtg: one by O'reaily. got it years ago | 02:48 |
| ndxtg | Dr_Willis: reg_expr for dummies? :D | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | ndxtg: i avoide books that have dummies in the title. | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | ndxtg: those are not the O;reialy books. :) theirs have the woodgraving prints on them normally | 02:49 |
| psycho789 | is ubuntu better than w7? why? | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | psycho789: Yes.. its free.. next question... | 02:49 |
| ndxtg | Dr_Willis: I've seen like a hundred books of the same yellow template with dummies on though :D | 02:50 |
| kochii | ok | 02:50 |
| Frankiitaa | dr_willis i just can use the dvd drive if the disk is inside when i turn on the pc once time i try to change the disk it become uselle until next reboot whit the next cd inside | 02:50 |
| red2kic | psycho789: Why should you pay for oxygen? :( | 02:50 |
| Dr_Willis | ndxtg: i dont even buy those if they are ont eh bargin bins. | 02:50 |
| ndxtg | *the word dummies | 02:50 |
| Frankiitaa | and i have 7 pc | 02:50 |
| psycho789 | other than it's free. because thats pretty horrible logic im talking about features and stuff. i know nothing about linux | 02:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Frankiitaa: you are right clicking on the disk on the desktop and using the 'eject' menu item? | 02:50 |
| kochii | hi all, is it suggestable that I do dual boot xp/ubuntu or it will make computer unstable | 02:51 |
| Frankiitaa | i have try all ways | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | psycho789: theres numerous sites that debate windows vs linux. | 02:51 |
| R3cur51v3 | Will dual-band wireless offer any advantages on a small network with 2-5 clients? | 02:51 |
| R3cur51v3 | err, I'll ask #offtopic nv | 02:51 |
| ndxtg | In graphics term: Ubuntu + Compiz is better than Win 7, equivalent to Mac | 02:51 |
| R3cur51v3 | nvm | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | psycho789: its main feature is 'its not windows' :) it dosent have teh same windows problems.. it has its own. | 02:51 |
| jrib | kochii: if you need xp, sure. It will not make your computer "unstable" | 02:51 |
| Tecna | Frankiitaa: You're doing it wrong. You can't eject a CD unless you've made sure that it's no longer in use by programs and has been unmounted. | 02:51 |
| epinky | dual band wireless ?:o | 02:52 |
| SimonSayez | ndxtg, Also you can do a lot more programming stuff with Linux than on Windows 7 | 02:52 |
| Paddy_NI | Hey there I am looking for a nice simple netbook email client that my mother could use on a netbook, I have already tried anjal but sadly it will not start.. so short of getting to the root of the anjal problem are there any other recommended email clients preferably with indicator-applet support that are suited to a netbook? | 02:52 |
| kochii | jrib: whats a good dual boot program ? | 02:52 |
| jrib | kochii: huh? | 02:53 |
| Tecna | psycho789: Ubuntu, like other distributions of linux, give you complete control over your system. | 02:53 |
| ndxtg | grub? | 02:53 |
| jrib | !dual | kochii | 02:53 |
| Frankiitaa | tecna: how i have to do it ? | 02:53 |

| kochii | jrib: ndxtg: yea is grup good ? | 02:53 |
| jrib | kochii: yes, you want to use grub... | 02:53 |
| SimonSayez | the Ubuntu Linux environment is good for Java and Android programming too | 02:53 |
| kochii | jrib: oh ok...heard a while ago (around 4 years) about ppl complaining about it | 02:54 |

| ndxtg | there is no dualboot program that enables you to "edit-on-air" the menu item of the boot menu like grub | 02:54 |
| SimonSayez | grub2 is a pain in the ass they could have simplified it a little better | 02:54 |
| kochii | tnx jrib: | 02:54 |
| ndxtg | <---- (failed sentence) | 02:54 |
| psycho789 | thanks i think im going to go ahead and put ubuntu on my old dell just to try it out | 02:54 |

| StealFalcon | anyone! | 02:55 |
| kochii | i have a lenovo and it doest provide linux drivers | 02:55 |
| KE1HA | psycho789, check the chipset, if it's an intel i8xx series, there's work around for install & boot. Just FYI. | 02:55 |

| SimonSayez | I would burn the iso | 02:56 |
| epinky | StealFalcon: could you define dual band wireless?, my MW knowledge is not that advanced :) | 02:56 |
| kochii | cool...tnx SimonSayez | 02:56 |
| Barnabas | kochii, the Lenovos are to my experience some of the best for ubuntu (linux) | 02:57 |
| Barnabas | good driver support | 02:57 |
| StealFalcon | i installed all interfaces for ubuntu it screwed the hekk up my pc | 02:57 |
| Tecna | Frankiitaa: Close programs that are accessing the disc(if something says to eject your disc, it probably isn't accessing it). This is usually enough to make it work, but sometimes you need to right-click the disc in nautilus to unmount and/or eject. You should also man umount and man eject for information about doing this manually, and possibly using the force option if needed. | 02:57 |
| StealFalcon | i need to roll back my whole sys by 30 mins | 02:57 |
| ndxtg | dual Lan is possible, but dual Wirelss ... no idea | 02:58 |
| kochii | I have a friends father who bought a ubuntu laptop...he wants windows xp on it though...i could have traded mine with him if my #7 key was not broken | 02:58 |
| IdleOne | StealFalcon: what do you mean by you installed all interfaces? | 02:58 |
| savid | Hi, every time I VNC into my desktop, I get the screen loaded, but it never updates. (e.g., I move a window, but nothing happens through vnc). I've confirmed that my keyboard and mouse movements are making it through, I'm just not getting screen updates. Any ideas what might cause this? | 02:58 |
| kochii | Barnabas: where do you get drivers for them though ? | 02:58 |
| StealFalcon | kde xfce | 02:58 |
| Barnabas | kochii, with the kernel | 02:58 |
| StealFalcon | i allready have gnome | 02:58 |
| === radar3d|afk is now known as radar3d | ||

| ubottu | radar3d, please see my private message | 02:59 |
| IdleOne | StealFalcon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome | 02:59 |
| Barnabas | kochii, you dont need to "get" them | 02:59 |
| IdleOne | StealFalcon: you will have to remove KDE and then follow the link to also remove xfce | 02:59 |
| kochii | Barnabas: so my hotkeys, volume etc work ? | 02:59 |
| Barnabas | kochii, they are part of your os | 02:59 |
| ShapeShifter499 | hi | 02:59 |
| kochii | Barnabas: really ? | 02:59 |
| StealFalcon | ok | 02:59 |
| StealFalcon | so just chage the command to fit xfce? | 03:00 |
| kochii | Barnabas: so ubuntu comes loaded with the drivers for all those devices from different manufacturers ? | 03:00 |
| IdleOne | StealFalcon: at the bottom of the page there is a link to remove xfce | 03:00 |
| Barnabas | kochii, on my last Lenovo (ibm) all buttons worked as designed | 03:00 |
| welinux | StealFalcon: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome | 03:00 |
| StealFalcon | E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 03:00 |
| kochii | Barnabas: or my concept of device is just totally wrong? | 03:01 |
| hiexpo | hmm | 03:01 |
| Frankiitaa | tecna: how do i have to take out de dvd ? | 03:01 |
| savid | oh, nm -- had to disable compiz | 03:01 |
| IdleOne | StealFalcon: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome this link is better | 03:01 |
| SimonSayez | The Dell Ubunto Linux isos are here I gave the wrong link sorry http://linux.dell.com/files/ubuntu/jaunty/iso-images/ | 03:01 |
| kochii | Barnabas: what lendovo did you have ? | 03:01 |
| === Sup|Lobby is now known as Sup|Away | ||
| Barnabas | kochii, no you are just used to the windows approach where you have to download drivers from a multitude of sources | 03:01 |
| Guest11331 | StealFalcon: go to http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce | 03:01 |
| xangua | StealFalcon: synaptic, apt, aptitude, software center¿ | 03:01 |
| IdleOne | StealFalcon: close Synaptic and or Software Center | 03:01 |
| welinux | StealFalcon: simple problem - close synaptic or close terminal aniway | 03:01 |
| SimonSayez | Burn the Dell Ubuntu Iso and see if the old drivers are there for your old Dell Machine they probably are | 03:02 |
| Barnabas | t61 - its an older model today | 03:02 |
| Tecna | Frankiitaa: once the dvd has been unmounted, you should be able to just press the eject button on your drive. | 03:02 |
| kochii | Barnabas: wow thats amazing man | 03:02 |
| StuckMojo | so...starting gdm hard locks the system | 03:03 |
| StealFalcon | ty | 03:03 |
| Barnabas | kochii, in general you can define your buttons to do what you want with them - also the multimedia ones | 03:03 |
| kochii | Barnabas:I think Im very close to knocking xp off my laptop | 03:03 |
| Barnabas | for all pcs | 03:03 |
| StuckMojo | i booted into text mode then sshed in and started gdm by hand | 03:03 |
| StuckMojo | and it almost immediately locked | 03:03 |
| Barnabas | but it is a bit technical | 03:03 |
| Frankiitaa | tecna: so i cant just take out the dvd like i used to do in windows | 03:03 |
| Frankiitaa | ? | 03:03 |
| psycho789 | the chipset on my dell is Intel 855PM Chipset would it be hard to install | 03:04 |
| === radi is now known as arzhar | ||
| Tecna | Frankiitaa: Tell me what you're doing before trying to eject. | 03:04 |
| Barnabas | kochii, XP is getting older - so yes you should probably look at ubuntu or perhaps win7 | 03:04 |
| Barnabas | kochii, support for XP is also about to be closed down | 03:04 |
| Barnabas | kochii, stay away from Vista :-) | 03:05 |
| SimonSayez | psycho789, Nope just burn an old Dell Ubuntu iso from here http://linux.dell.com/files/ubuntu/jaunty/iso-images/ | 03:05 |
| === travis is now known as Guest88579 | ||
| SimonSayez | psycho789, then upgrade | 03:05 |
| psycho789 | alright thanks | 03:05 |
| kochii | Barnabas: probably an obvious question but just want to confirm to get some more confidence haha...And ubuntu has features for power use like conserving battery by lowering cpu speed etc ? | 03:05 |
| pradeep | not a fan of windows but xp is about the best windows os | 03:05 |
| knoppies | kochii, yes | 03:05 |
| kochii | Barnabas: yea vista is shitte | 03:05 |
| Guest88579 | or windows 7, but i still rarely use it | 03:06 |
| welinux | pradeep: may be - but it is offtopic | 03:06 |
| knoppies | kochii, you can even force the CPU speed stepping to sit at the speed you want it to. | 03:06 |
| pepper_haze | Man, I feel better now | 03:06 |
| IdleOne | !language | kochii | 03:06 |
| ubottu | kochii: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 03:06 |
| Barnabas | kochii, yes there is a daemon kalled powernod you can install to throttle the cpu | 03:06 |
| kochii | I wouldnt want to touch any newer shites the push from seattle | 03:06 |
| Barnabas | kochii, but most BIOS today can do the same | 03:06 |
| pradeep | welinux, YUP IT IS REALLY IRRELEVANT | 03:06 |
| h00k | kochii: please watch the language | 03:06 |
| kochii | ooops...sorry...apologies | 03:06 |
| Barnabas | kochii, drop to reduced cpu speed when on battery | 03:06 |
| xangua | why not just recomend the new official ubuntu lucid to psycho, SimonSayez ¿¿ | 03:06 |
| StuckMojo | 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) | 03:07 |
| psycho789 | SimonSez, which of those iso files do i burn? | 03:07 |
| StuckMojo | hmmm | 03:07 |
| SimonSayez | psycho789, this one ubuntu-9.04-dell_A01.iso 05-Oct-2009 | 03:07 |
| kochii | Barnabas: cool...thanks yo | 03:07 |
| hiexpo | hmm | 03:07 |
| psycho789 | thank you | 03:07 |
| ShapeShifter499 | is there a download manager for package managers(like synaptic) ? | 03:08 |
| SimonSayez | xangua, because the Dell Ubuntu Linux live disk has wifi drivers pre installed | 03:08 |
| pradeep | my screen flickers alot any clues | 03:08 |
| n-iCe | hi I did a clean ubuntu 10.04 install, but the clock is one hour delayed, any suggestions? I already set it, and changes in every boot. | 03:08 |
| StuckMojo | ok, so starting X kills it | 03:08 |
| ShapeShifter499 | so I can fully use my ISP's internet speed | 03:08 |
| StuckMojo | so it's not gdm specifically. which is no surprise | 03:08 |
| SimonSayez | xangua, He can always upgrade to 10.04 later on | 03:08 |
| hiexpo | 9.10 | 03:08 |
| welinux | pradeep: I'm trying to understand but maybe your sentence in another way What's wrong | 03:08 |
| xangua | from 9.04 to 9.10 to 10.04 ¿¿ :S | 03:08 |
| kochii | alright...gnight all | 03:08 |
| SimonSayez | xangua, right | 03:09 |
| Tecna | n-iCe: sounds like your clock is being set with a NTP server and your location is set wrong. | 03:09 |
| xangua | SimonSayez: that sucks | 03:09 |
| n-iCe | Tecna: what to do | 03:09 |
| StuckMojo | no Xorg.0.log is writeen | 03:09 |
| Barnabas | ShapeShifter499, you can only utilize your total bandwith if the host you are downloading from serve at equal or higher speed than that | 03:09 |
| SimonSayez | xangua, yeah but the Dell Ubuntu Linux Live disk has wifi drivers | 03:09 |
| Tecna | n-iCe: I suggest checking your location in the clock settings. also check daylight savings options. | 03:10 |
| xangua | psycho789: better try first the ubuntu lucid live cd | 03:10 |
| pradeep | welinux, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/587935?comments=all | 03:10 |
| ShapeShifter499 | Barnabas: you know like download multiple chunks of one file so it downloads faster.. | 03:10 |
| pradeep | that is the issue | 03:10 |
| pradeep | i have | 03:10 |
| n-iCe | thanks | 03:10 |
| SimonSayez | xangua, the Dell Ubuntu Linux Live iso will have wifi drivers out of the box | 03:11 |
| Barnabas | ShapeShifter499, yes but the host you are dl'ing from still has a max speed determinded by its uplink speed | 03:11 |
| jeremie | Bonjou | 03:11 |
| SimonSayez | xangua, otherwise he would have to plug an ethernet cable into his machine | 03:11 |
| jeremie | Bonjour** | 03:11 |
| jeremie | exit | 03:11 |
| Frankiitaa | tecna i just tested it just inserting a disk after that i eject it and when i put another disk inside it dont works | 03:11 |
| xangua | SimonSayez: what wifi driver¿¿ then why not better install the oficial ubuntu ang get the drivers from the dell ubuntu cd¿¿ | 03:12 |
| Tecna | Frankiitaa: Are you saying that you were able to eject the first disc, but not the second? | 03:12 |
| SimonSayez | xangua, when he puts in the Dell Ubuntu Live disk into his machine it should detect his wifi card, 10.0.4 most likely wont | 03:13 |
| antonio_ | I'm going nuts..trying to transfer some files from my old lappy that is pretty muched effed up... | 03:13 |
| pradeep | welinux, cant hear from you again | 03:13 |
| Barnabas | SimonSayez, some of the newer dell wifi nics could not yet supported by the linux kernel | 03:13 |
| xangua | SimonSayez: that's what i said, he can JUST get the drivers from the dell ubuntu cd | 03:14 |
| welinux | pradeep: gotcha thanks I'm trying to participate because it is the best place to understand ubuntu in live mode from all over the world | 03:14 |

| antonio_ | is there any kind of quick fix to get around this? | 03:14 |
| SimonSayez | antonio_, you can buy a USB enclosure for your hardrive take your hard drive out your machine and hook it up to your current pc via usb | 03:14 |
| Tecna | antonio_: Transfer across the network. | 03:14 |
| Wiesshund | antonio_ you trying to install ubuntu? | 03:15 |
| antonio_ | wiesshund: already installed on this machine... | 03:15 |
| Frankiitaa | tecna i be able to eject the discs, but i can use my dvd drive once i have eject the first, it dont read any disc at all | 03:15 |
| psycho789 | my 2004 dell has no wireless anyway | 03:15 |
| antonio_ | tecna: using open ssh? I've got 3.2 gigs to transfer | 03:15 |
| psycho789 | so should i just install the other verison | 03:15 |
| SimonSayez | psycho789, its not a laptop ? | 03:16 |
| Wiesshund | antonio_ sorry i thought maybe you sere trying to do a driveless install. thats what i get for joining the channel late :) | 03:16 |
| psycho789 | it is a laptop | 03:16 |
| ShapeShifter499 | Wiesshund: is that driver suppose to be good for ATI Radeon Cards? | 03:16 |
| psycho789 | it has no wireless drivers or anything | 03:16 |
| psycho789 | its too old i guess | 03:16 |
| === davis is now known as Guest81909 | ||
| Tecna | antonio_: a few gigs shouldn't take very long to copy using a samba share. | 03:16 |
| SimonSayez | psycho789, Does it have a wifi card ? | 03:16 |
| psycho789 | no | 03:16 |
| Wiesshund | ShapeShifter499 10.7? yea | 03:16 |
| psycho789 | i would have to buy a wifi usb or something | 03:16 |
| SimonSayez | psycho789, then you might as well download the new ubuntu and install it | 03:16 |
| SimonSayez | psycho789, Do you have a PCMCIA slot on your laptop | 03:17 |
| Tecna | antonio_: unfortunately, I can't help with setting that up, because I'm here looking for help with that. | 03:17 |
| antonio_ | tecna: how long would moving over 3 gigs take across a network? | 03:17 |
| psycho789 | no | 03:17 |
| ShapeShifter499 | Wiesshund: I'm using the ones from xorg edgers PPA and there are a few native linux games that are fing up | 03:17 |
| SimonSayez | psycho789, type the model of your 2004 dell laptop please | 03:17 |
| Tecna | antonio_: that depends on the machines involved, but that usually would take me at most 15 minutes. | 03:18 |
| psycho789 | wait acutally yes i do | 03:18 |
| psycho789 | sorry | 03:18 |
| psycho789 | but its dell latiude d600 | 03:18 |
| Wiesshund | ShapeShifter499 10.7 = linux 8.75.5 i used the official package from ati and built it | 03:18 |
| psycho789 | latitude* | 03:18 |
| ShapeShifter499 | Wiesshund: how would I switch to those drivers? | 03:19 |
| Wiesshund | ShapeShifter499 i didnt try any of the 3rd party builds | 03:19 |
| ShapeShifter499 | Wiesshund: before (when switching) I totally messed my system up cuz I didn't switch divers correctly, I had to reinstall | 03:20 |
| antonio_ | is there any linux command/package to temporarily "fix" a drive..just so that I can actually move these dang files? | 03:20 |
| SimonSayez | psycho789, Is this your Dell Machine http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/latd600/en/ug/index.htm | 03:20 |
| Wiesshund | ShapeShifter499 you can download them from www.ati.com and make the build, ive got the packages i made but i dont know it they wind up being machine specific when built or not | 03:20 |
| Barnabas | ShapeShifter499, I have good experience with the fglrx drivers on Radeon 9700 - my old pc | 03:20 |
| Wiesshund | ShapeShifter499 yea when switching, deactivate then mark old driver for total removal. they forget to tell you that in the docs | 03:21 |
| psycho789 | simon: yes thats it | 03:21 |
| ndxtg | does anyone know what version of Catalyst for Radeon Mobility X1600? | 03:21 |
| ndxtg | I need to run OpenGL the fglrx doesnt work weel | 03:21 |
| SimonSayez | psycho789, you should have a PCMCIA slot on that machine | 03:21 |
| psycho789 | yeah sorry i corrected myself but you missed it | 03:21 |
| antonio_ | is there any linux command/package to temporarily "fix" a drive..just so that I can actually move these dang files? | 03:22 |
| SimonSayez | psycho789, I see it here http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/latd600/en/ug/pccards.htm#wp1104260 | 03:22 |
| Tecna | Wiesshund: when compiling from source, it's best to do it again on each system, unless you're sure the other system has the same dependencies and libraries | 03:22 |
| Wiesshund | Tecna yea thats what im thinking as well | 03:22 |
| psycho789 | yeah its there | 03:23 |
| ShapeShifter499 | Wiesshund: so should I mark all xorg drivers for full removal ? | 03:23 |
| Wiesshund | ShapeShifter499 also not noted is you wind up having to manualy remove your /urs/shate/ati directory | 03:23 |
| psycho789 | simon: i thought it did not have one but i was wrong | 03:23 |
| SimonSayez | psycho789, you need something like this for wifi access from that Dell Machine http://imagine41.com/orinoco-gold-11-mbit-s-wireless-pcmcia-slot-wifi-card.html?___store=english_11271901265 | 03:23 |
| Wiesshund | ShapeShifter499 yes if you want to build and switch drivers you have to, but dont reboot until new drivers are built and installed | 03:23 |
| Frankiitaa | dr_willis: i just can use my dvd drive just if i turn of the pc with the disc that i want to use inside, if i change the disk i can use my dvd drive to next reboot. | 03:24 |
| psycho789 | thank you | 03:24 |
| Barnabas | ShapeShifter499, or make an xorg.conf that utilizes the driver you select | 03:24 |
| === UdontKnow is now known as E | ||
| SimonSayez | psycho789, Orinoco PCMCIA cards work well in Linux | 03:24 |
| antonio_ | is there any linux command/package to temporarily "fix" a drive..just so that I can actually move these dang files? | 03:24 |
| SimonSayez | psycho789, That will give you wifi access | 03:25 |
| ShapeShifter499 | Barnabas: never messed with the xorg.conf file | 03:25 |
| psycho789 | ok | 03:25 |
| Tecna | antonio_: what do you mean by "fix"? What's wrong with it? | 03:25 |
| Wiesshund | Barnabas 10.04 doesnt have one by default | 03:25 |
| psycho789 | i will check those out | 03:25 |
| Barnabas | Wiesshund, no but you are free to make one | 03:25 |
| antonio_ | tecna: If I try copying files from .mozilla-thunderbird to a flash drive, burn them to a dvd, etc. I get a input/output error | 03:26 |
| Tecna | antonio_: what filesystem is it? | 03:26 |
| antonio_ | would that matter? considering I can't even burn them, its more than likely not anything to do with the filesystem... | 03:27 |
| Frankiitaa | i got this problem do u know somethin about it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1468035 | 03:28 |
| Wiesshund | antonio_ i missed the beginning. you having a drive failing or something? | 03:28 |
| ProfOak | Would any of you know where I would go about a question regarding unetbootin and syslinux.cfg editing? | 03:28 |
| antonio_ | yeah basical,ly wiesshund: | 03:28 |
| Tecna | antonio_: if you're getting i/o errors from that drive, you need to check the filesystem for errors, and that's done differently on some filesystems | 03:28 |
| sacul_ | hello | 03:28 |
| sosaited | I am in need of some quick and really needed help. I have been trying to install Lucid on my Karmic + XP system for the last 18 hours, and every method I have tried gives one or another error. I first tried with direct boot of ISO from grub. that eventually gave error of sort can't unmount /iso... Then I tried UnetBootin HDD method, that gave "Unable to mount medium for live.....". Then I tried UnetBootin USB, that just stuck on the purple screen for li | 03:29 |
| sosaited | ke 15 minutes. Then I burned two cds, One didnt boot at all, second gave me a "error reading boot cd" | 03:29 |
| ShapeShifter499 | Wiesshund: ok I've downloaded the drivers from the ATI page, but should I remove the xorg stuff before or after running the installer? | 03:29 |
| antonio_ | also on a side note, a minute ago I logged into failsafe gnome...now I can't select my normal login | 03:29 |
| Wiesshund | antonio_ what filesystem is the drive? | 03:29 |
| antonio_ | whoops..fixed failsafe gnome | 03:29 |
| duke_ | hello how i compile code cpp to asm using nasm | 03:29 |
| Wiesshund | ShapeShifter499 Yes, or i blieve you will find the build fail due to clashing libs | 03:29 |
| ProfOak | sosaited: Have you tried the wubi installer? | 03:29 |
| antonio_ | how can I tell what the fs is? | 03:29 |
| sosaited | And I have a "thing" with myself to not eat anything until I install this, so its kinda of an "underweight guy becoming really underweight" :) | 03:30 |
| antonio_ | wiseshund: and tecna: is there a linux command /term command to discover what the filesystem is? | 03:30 |
| sosaited | Prof0ak: No. I am trying everything from my Karmic. | 03:30 |
| Tecna | antonio_: mount (with no args/options) | 03:30 |
| ProfOak | antonio_: sudo fdisk -l | 03:30 |
| Wiesshund | antonio_ sudo fdisk -l | 03:30 |
| lovinglinux | What is happening with the forums? | 03:31 |
| Tecna | I like how there are a bunch of ways to do everything | 03:31 |
| antonio_ | /etc/sudoers is mode 0666, should be 0440 wiseshund: prof0ak: and tecna: | 03:31 |
| duke_ | you guys never user nasm? | 03:31 |
| duke_ | or gcc | 03:31 |
| Taev | hey guys I may have deleted some files I shouldn't have during a Clam AV scan and now Apache won't start | 03:32 |

| ProfOak | antonio_: You're not able to use sudo? | 03:32 |

| Taev | i reinstalled libapache2-mod-python | 03:32 |
| Taev | but i keep getting the same error | 03:32 |
| antonio_ | guess not... | 03:32 |
| hunahpu | Taev: the mython mod file has a different name, check your apache mods directory to get it and change it | 03:33 |
| Tecna | antonio_: ProfOak: inability to sudo could really screw you. | 03:33 |
| sosaited | For the love of Linux, someone please read my cry | 03:33 |
| Taev | huh. why would it have a different name? | 03:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | antonio_, sounds like you need to boot single user mode then change the permission on /etc/sudoers | 03:33 |
| duke_ | no withougt joke i really forget the line nasm -a bla.cpp | 03:33 |
| Taev | where would the apache mods directory be? | 03:33 |
| antonio_ | so what in the heck can I do...I NEED to backup these files really bad | 03:33 |
| duke_ | gets me tons of errors | 03:33 |
| hunahpu | Taev: the one you install via ubuntu repos has a different name, check your /etc/apache2/mods-available directory | 03:33 |
| Tecna | antonio_: are you using a livecd? | 03:33 |
| Taev | in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/? | 03:34 |
| Taev | ok | 03:34 |
| antonio_ | zykotick9: can I use "chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers" | 03:34 |

| StuckMojo | and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/554835 | 03:34 |
| Tecna | antonio_: also, do you have or can you make one? | 03:34 |
| SimonSayez | duke_, Why not try here type /join #nasm | 03:34 |
| antonio_ | I do have one... | 03:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | antonio_, single user mode give you root access - then you you'll be able to use chmod - without requiring sudo | 03:34 |
| Barnabas | antonio_, the first thing you must do is backup .. now | 03:34 |
| hunahpu | Taev: first check in mods-available, after that check the mods-enabled if it is not in the enabled one, just create a symbolic link (wiht ln -s) | 03:34 |
| Tecna | antonio_: can you make one | 03:34 |
| Barnabas | antonio_, dump your device | 03:34 |
| antonio_ | barnabas: thats what I am trying to do... | 03:35 |
| Barnabas | antonio_, work on that | 03:35 |

| StuckMojo | ZykoticK9: well...more like, found a solution | 03:35 |
| SimonSayez | duke go here type: /join #nasm and matland will help you with your NASM problem | 03:35 |
| StuckMojo | it was KMS | 03:35 |
| Barnabas | antonio_, dd if=/dev/<device> of=/path/to/file | 03:35 |
| Tecna | antonio_: That what I'm trying to tell you! | 03:35 |
| Barnabas | antonio_, this will take a while | 03:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | StuckMojo, nice work! glad you got it fixed. | 03:35 |
| antonio_ | thanks tecna: ;) firing up the cd :D | 03:35 |

| antonio_ | barnabas: whats that do? | 03:36 |
| roaddhogg | is the ubuntu installed with wubi any different than normal install of ubuntu? | 03:36 |
| StuckMojo | ZykoticK9: yeah me too | 03:36 |
| Barnabas | antonio_, it will dump the erraneous device to a file | 03:36 |
| ZykoticK9 | roaddhogg, yes | 03:36 |
| Taev | and in /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_python.so is there | 03:37 |
| Taev | so everything is correct | 03:37 |
| roaddhogg | how so | 03:37 |
| StuckMojo | ZykoticK9: to upgrade to grub2: install grub-pc ? | 03:37 |
| Barnabas | antonio_, there must be space on the target device to fit of cause | 03:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | roaddhogg, don't use WUBI unless you have too (it makes Ubuntu dependent on Windows - not really a great situation) | 03:37 |
| roaddhogg | ok | 03:37 |
| Barnabas | antonio_, that will make a raw dump of what you got right now | 03:37 |
| hunahpu | Taev: if you have just installed it, you'll need to restart apache so it is loaded | 03:37 |
| Tecna | antonio_: without sudo working properly in your installed system, live-cd is the only reliable option. | 03:37 |
| roaddhogg | thats what i thought, thanks for clearing that up | 03:37 |
| ProfOak | Is there something wrong with the Ubuntu forums? | 03:37 |
| antonio_ | can I use that command to just select one directory? | 03:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | StuckMojo, not sure (but sounds good) | 03:37 |
| Taev | i reinstalled the module | 03:37 |
| Taev | so I should restart? | 03:37 |

| hunahpu | Taev: first "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop" with that you'll stop it, then change stop for start to start it again.... | 03:39 |
| Taev | its not running | 03:39 |

| Taev | none of the other modules are | 03:44 |

| antonio_ | eft4 I think | 03:45 |

| Taev | so whats the problem? | 03:45 |
| Galaxor | Hi. I'm trying to play videos from dvd or file. I get a black box where the video should be. I get audio though. I've got nvidia with proprietary drivers, using 10.04. Anybody know anything about that? | 03:45 |
| antonio_ | ok | 03:45 |
| sosaited | Wiesshund: Yes. | 03:45 |
| Wiesshund | antonio_ is the drive clicking? if so shut it off, unplug it for now | 03:45 |
| Galaxor | Are there common fixes for black-box-instead-of-video, or is this likely to be a bug in the nvidia driver? | 03:45 |
| Wiesshund | sosaited can you tell us exactly what youve done so far in the unetbootin install? | 03:45 |
| IdleOne | antonio_: some people have had success with putting the drive in the fridge for 10-15 minutes and then backing up files. | 03:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | Galaxor, try another player VLC/Mplayer - try changing the Video Out VO to either GL or X11 and see if it works. | 03:46 |
| SimonSayez | Galaxor, Do you have a media player such as VLC installed ? | 03:46 |
| Barnabas | antonio_, Again I cannot stress the most imporant thing to do when a drive fails - get the data of the drive and put it somewhere else | 03:46 |
| Barnabas | before any fixes are attempted | 03:46 |
| xangua | Galaxor: what driver¿¿ the free, propietary¿ | 03:46 |
| Arthur___ | can anybody tell me how to get the volume control back on the task bar? | 03:46 |
| Tecna | antonio_: it sounds like your disk is physically damaged. if those files are important, you should consider taking it to a specialist. | 03:46 |
| Wiesshund | antonio_ how important is this data? if the drive has physical damage or failure you may have to ship it out to a place like ontrak | 03:46 |
| Galaxor | ZykoticK9, SimonSayez: Yeah, this isn't a totem issue. I've used vlc also. | 03:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | Arthur___, add to panel / indicator applet | 03:47 |
| IdleOne | Arthur___: right click the panel and add Indicator Applet | 03:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | Galaxor, change the VO in the player | 03:47 |
| Galaxor | xangua: nvidia 195.36.24 x86-64 | 03:47 |
| Arthur___ | ty | 03:47 |
| Galaxor | ZykoticK9: In VLC? | 03:47 |
| FabParma | can you read this text? | 03:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | Galaxor, i think it's an option in VLC ya. | 03:47 |
| IdleOne | I can FabParma | 03:47 |
| Wiesshund | antonio_ the only way to recover files from a physical failure it to take apart the drive and mount the platters in a special machine that can read and recover them and you cant do that at home :( | 03:47 |
| Tecna | Wiesshund: hivemind | 03:47 |
| FabParma | thankx | 03:48 |
| Arthur___ | works ty! | 03:48 |
| sosaited | Wiesshund: I first tried to write the ISO to HDD (root), restarted, the ubuntu screen came and everything, and after a while I got "Unable to find a medium containing a live filesystem" (or it was unable to mount). | 03:48 |
| Wiesshund | Tecna hmm? | 03:48 |
| SimonSayez | Wiesshund, lol too much work hahah | 03:48 |
| Galaxor | ZykoticK9: Hm. I'm not sure what a VO is. Where should I be looking for this? | 03:48 |
| antonio_ | this is such bs! | 03:48 |
| Wiesshund | sosaited you did the frugal install or something else? | 03:48 |
| Taev | what package has libpython2.5.so.1.0 | 03:48 |
| ZykoticK9 | Galaxor, sorry VO = Video Output - you need to try changing it from the default XV to GL or X11 | 03:48 |
| SimonSayez | I think VLC is the most advanced media player for Linux right now | 03:48 |
| Tecna | Wiesshund: we gave antonio_ the same answer at the same time | 03:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | SimonSayez, mplayer | 03:49 |
| Wiesshund | Tecna doh brain fart moment | 03:49 |
| sosaited | Wiesshund: Frugal install? You mean I selected the HDD? | 03:49 |
| antonio_ | tecna: or anyone else, would I come across the same problem if I tried to send the files across a network? | 03:49 |
| jrib | Taev: probably none if you're on lucid since there is no python 2.5 afaict | 03:50 |
| Tecna | antonio_: probably. the proplem seems to be the drive, so i wouldn't expect it to work for any destination. | 03:51 |
| Taev | Im on 8.04 | 03:51 |
| sosaited | Wiesshund: Yes I did the frugal install. | 03:51 |
| Taev | and there should be because my apache has worked fine for years | 03:51 |
| Wiesshund | sosaited ok. you still have access to windows then yes? | 03:51 |
| Taev | until stupid ass clamav | 03:51 |
| antonio_ | these files are all of my emails from thunderbird...I'm wondering if there is a kind of plugin for firefox to output all of this stuff to another drive? | 03:51 |
| jrib | Taev: 8.04 isn't lucid. Anyway, why don't you tell us the real issue? | 03:52 |
| Wiesshund | antonio_ if you keep spinnign the drive your going to damage it and make recovery expensive or impossible | 03:52 |
| sosaited | Wiesshund: I did it on Karmic btw. But yes I have access to windows AND karmic | 03:52 |
| Taev | apache won't start | 03:52 |
| jrib | Taev: what do you think I'm going to ask you next? | 03:52 |
| Galaxor | ZykoticK9: All right. It works when I set it to OpenGL. Previously, it was on "Default". Is there some way to make this the default? | 03:52 |
| Tecna | if you're willing to risk ruining the disk before finishing, you can just try copying in small chunks, but if the data is important, take it to a recovery specialist. | 03:52 |

| Wiesshund | sosaited i take it your trying to install 10.04 also? | 03:52 |
| dstanek | any reason why trayer isn't available in karmic? | 03:52 |
| Taev | and now its running | 03:52 |
| Taev | i reinstalled python2.5 | 03:52 |
| sosaited | Wiesshund: As I mentioned, I am trying to install 10.04 from Karmic, on a dual-boot system with Karmic + xp | 03:53 |
| z987k | anyone know of a ppa I can add to get the 2.6.35 kernel in lucid? | 03:53 |
| Taev | would some one please double check for me | 03:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | Galaxor, nope, i don't think it's possible to change in the default gstreamer based apps either :( | 03:53 |
| Taev | does http://provo.homelinux.net load? | 03:53 |

| ubottu | radar3d|Zzz, please see my private message | 03:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | SimonSayez, sorry i shouldn't have said anything - it's a vi vs. emacs type argument ;) | 03:54 |
| Wiesshund | sosaited try running unet in windows, sometimes people have more luck with booting the virtual fs from win than nix | 03:54 |
| ruhtranayr | i broke my xorg.conf and can no longer get my TV back to 1360x768 | 03:54 |
| antonio_ | wiesshund: the hd was getting pretty hot..I was already having a problem with cooling, so I placed a fan under it..helped a little bit in the past few weeks...I might try keeping another fan on it...to keep it even cooler | 03:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | SimonSayez, what ever works for YOU is best ;) | 03:54 |
| jrib | Taev: no it doesn't load. | 03:54 |
| Taev | hmmm | 03:55 |
| Wiesshund | antonio_ you are going to ruin it and not see your data again, how important is this data to you? | 03:55 |
| Taev | its loading for me | 03:55 |
| sosaited | Wiesshund: Ok. ANd one more thing. During the install, when it asks for where to install bootloader, should I leave it to "sda" or change it to my current grub/ubuntu partition? | 03:55 |
| Tecna | "Failed to retrieve share list from server" Somebody please help me figure out what's wrong with my samba server? CLI output: http://pastebin.com/j3n4niis | 03:55 |
| Galaxor | ZykoticK9: Hm. I can't even find this setting in totem at all. | 03:55 |
| antonio_ | not super super important...but I would like to have stuff backed up | 03:55 |
| jrib | Taev: now it is... | 03:55 |
| === E is now known as UdontKnow | ||
| ZykoticK9 | Galaxor, it isn't there! | 03:55 |
| Taev | strange now my wiki isn't working | 03:55 |
| Taev | grrrrr @ clam av | 03:55 |
| dstanek | iflema: thanks i'll check it out | 03:55 |
| Wiesshund | sosaited sda is where grub should always be. not that good to put grub in places like sdc1 etc | 03:55 |
| ruhtranayr | my tv is connected to my geforce 7100gs through vga...nvidia-settings will only show 640x480 and 320x300 | 03:56 |
| dstanek | ratpoison isn't the same without it | 03:56 |
| linuxmascot | hello | 03:56 |
| antonio_ | I've got 1.2 gigs of the 3 gigs already backed up...and I want to get the rest of it :( | 03:56 |
| ruhtranayr | ive reinstalled nvidia driver a few times, ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 03:56 |
| sosaited | Wiesshund: Is there any way I can confirm this? THough I am kinda sure it is already on sda and no sda5 (my linux partition). | 03:56 |
| Wiesshund | antonio_ well i can tell you with out a doubt if the drive is making noises and you keep running it, it is going to flat out die | 03:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | Galaxor, many of the media apps ubuntu uses will have this issue i'm affraid | 03:57 |
| Wiesshund | sosaited there is but at the moment my brain fails me in remembering exactly how to look | 03:57 |
| z987k | anyone know of a ppa I can add to get the 2.6.35 kernel in lucid? | 03:57 |
| linuxmascot | I'm seeking some help. It deals with upgrading from 8.04 to 10.04, when ever one of you has a spare minute, It'd be appreciated. | 03:58 |
| Tecna | antonio_: if you're not willing to pay a specialist to recover the data, and it's not vital data, just copy in small chunks, shutting down after a minute of two to let it cool. The drive will self-destruct if you keep using it, so if you do use it, only use it to very carefully back up the data | 03:58 |
| sosaited | Wiesshund: Ok, never mind. Thanks. I'll give windows a try, otherwise I'll try booting the ISO directly again and see if I can somehow fix the "can't unmount /iso...." problem | 03:58 |
| Wiesshund | antonio_ its your drive, but you seemed like you wanted to have a chance at recovering whats on it | 03:58 |
| iflema | dstanek ALSO trayer is available in Lucid Lynx 10.04 | 03:58 |
| hunahpu | z987k: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ | 03:58 |
| tesuji | what has to be done so that a running program does show up in the process list? | 03:58 |
| linuxmascot | I'm seeking some help. It deals with upgrading from 8.04 to 10.04, when ever one of you has a spare minute, It'd be appreciated. | 03:59 |
| z987k | hunahpu, won't that break a ton of kernel modules and such? | 03:59 |
| SimonSayez | that is why you should always have USB external backup hardrive | 03:59 |
| Galaxor | ZykotiK9: Aha. I used the program gstreamer-properties and set the default output plugin to "X Window System (no XV)" | 03:59 |
| antonio_ | wiseshund: someone told me that if I put the hd in a plastic bag, toss it in the freezer..wait 5 hours....pull it out and toss it into a volcanoe on the next island over and pray to the gods that it will magically repair it...will this work or is this just bs? ;) | 03:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | Galaxor, thanks! awesome! | 03:59 |
| Galaxor | ZykoticK9: No, thank YOU. | 03:59 |
| Wiesshund | antonio_ if you dont care too much about the drive. take it out of the pc case, put it in a water tight bag, and sit it in ice water, and pray the cables are long enough to reach | 03:59 |
| linuxmascot | I'm seeking some help. It deals with upgrading from 8.04 to 10.04, when ever one of you has a spare minute, It'd be appreciated. | 03:59 |
| hunahpu | z987k: if you want a 100% safe option, use the regular kernels only; the ones there a re RC versions so are not 100% safe | 03:59 |
| SimonSayez | hard drives die out all the time for no apparent reason | 04:00 |
| Galaxor | And now, I shall commence with my main objective: Watching Batman: The Animated Series on DVD. | 04:00 |
| SimonSayez | I had a brand new SSD hard drive die out me | 04:00 |
| Tecna | Wiesshund: that's a terrible idea | 04:00 |
| z987k | hunahpu, well, for instance, I already got those images, but the nvidia kernel module failed to load on reboot | 04:00 |
| antonio_ | wisehund: haha, I think I'll just try blowing on it :D | 04:00 |
| linuxmascot | I'm seeking some help. It deals with upgrading from 8.04 to 10.04, when ever one of you has a spare minute, It'd be appreciated. | 04:00 |
| Tecna | linuxmascot: what's the problem | 04:01 |
| hunahpu | z987k: yes you will need to rebuild nvidia modules, I use ATI but there should be documentation on how to do it in the nvidia site or ubuntu wiki (community docs) | 04:01 |
| linuxmascot | Thank you | 04:01 |
| Wiesshund | hard drives are mechanicaly devices, they have wear points and moving parts. starting and stopping them is actualy hard on them. and the little head servoes do wear out over time, plus heat takes a toll on the electronics | 04:01 |
| z987k | hunahpu, just the nvidia or every kernel module? | 04:01 |
| linuxmascot | Well, i've tried to upgrade from ubuntu 8.04 to 10.04 two times, each time the update freezez when it gets to installing the 10.04 dbus. So 75% through the update it freezes, and I have to completely re-format my computer back to 8.04 because on restart it tries to boot 10.04, which didn't fully install. | 04:02 |
| hunahpu | z987k: just the nvidia would be my guess... but the real answer is "every module you need and you don't already have/isn't working" but it's.. well a pretty obvious answer :p try it, always keep a back up kernel though | 04:02 |
| Wiesshund | linuxmascot how old is the pc? 10.04 may not be the choice for some older hardware | 04:03 |
| linuxmascot | I upgraded through the terminal with the update command ' update-manager- d' | 04:03 |
| linuxmascot | it's not THAT old. | 04:03 |
| linuxmascot | I'm running a 2.6ghz, 1gb ram, 32 bit graphics card computer. | 04:03 |
| Tecna | linuxmascot: if you're completely reformatting, why not just make a 10.04 cd and install with that instead of upgrading? | 04:03 |
| linuxmascot | acer extensa 4220 | 04:03 |
| Wiesshund | linuxmascot well 8.X is pretty old :) is why i asked | 04:03 |
| linuxmascot | Well, I don't have any blank cd's, and my two flash drives are gone. I was hoping to get it resolved tonight. | 04:03 |
| ZykoticK9 | wouldn't "update-manager -d" try installing 10.10? re: linuxmascot | 04:04 |
| rww | ZykoticK9: not if you're not already on 10.04 | 04:04 |
| ZykoticK9 | rww, they're on 8.04 | 04:04 |
| Wiesshund | linuxmascot what Tecna said, except you could use unetbooting since youve no media to use | 04:04 |
| rww | exactly | 04:04 |
| Dal | test123 | 04:04 |
| ZykoticK9 | rww, sorry though the -d was for development, my bad. | 04:05 |
| russ | hello, is there any way to get help with logging in to landscape with a (new) paid support contract? | 04:05 |
| Dal | cool. irc on my palm pre works :) | 04:05 |
| rww | ZykoticK9: it is, but as I understand it, it won't actually take effect unless you're using the current stable release (since update-manager respects supported upgrade paths) | 04:05 |
| linuxmascot | I've never net booted | 04:05 |
| Tecna | !ot | Dal | 04:05 |
| ubottu | Dal: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 04:05 |
| rww | I haven't tried it for myself, though, so maybe I'm wrong | 04:06 |
| jrib | russ: you should ask canonical, they can better help you | 04:06 |
| ZykoticK9 | rww, ok thanks for the clarification (even if a little uncertain feeling) | 04:06 |
| russ | jnb is there any way to reach them? They don't answer their phone you know. | 04:06 |
| SimonSayez | everything is done over the internet nowadays | 04:07 |
| SimonSayez | so phone ?? | 04:07 |
| jrib | russ: shouldn't you have some way to contact them after paying for support? | 04:07 |
| linuxmascot | wiess: I've never net booted, how would I start that process. | 04:07 |
| Tecna | linuxmascot: I'd strongly advise getting a cd for a live disc. if you can stand to wait until a store near you opens, that's your best option. | 04:07 |
| dstanek | iflema: is it safe it install that package on karmic? | 04:08 |
| pradeep | what the job opportunity for Linux like in your country | 04:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | !ot > pradeep | 04:08 |
| ubottu | pradeep, please see my private message | 04:08 |
| iflema | dstanek alltray? It is in the karmic repositories, yes | 04:08 |
| russ | jnb You would sure think so. So far worse than worthless. | 04:08 |
| linuxmascot | Tecna: well that takes the fun out of computing, doesn't it? : p | 04:08 |
| linuxmascot | Tecna: I suppose I can wait | 04:09 |
| SimonSayez | pradeep, lol jobs in this economy ??? | 04:09 |
| rww | russ: fyi, it's "jrib", not "jnb" | 04:09 |
| Wiesshund | linuxmascot you got room on your drive to download the 10.04 ISO? | 04:09 |
| jrib | russ: http://www.canonical.com/about-canonical/contact Try sales, maybe they can point you in the right direction? | 04:09 |
| linuxmascot | Wiess: yes | 04:09 |
| dstanek | iflema: no the trayer deb from lucid | 04:09 |
| Wiesshund | linuxmascot http://ansi.interblc.com/2010/02/06/howto-boot-iso-images-via-grub2-with-ubuntu/ | 04:09 |
| iflema | dstanek it may go on???/ | 04:10 |
| Wiesshund | linuxmascot you can give that a go. it would let you boot the liveCD from a location on the hard drive | 04:10 |
| russ | jrib sorry I these are new glasses too... I sent an email to canonical sales, hope they will answer soon | 04:10 |
| jrib | russ: anyway, I don't know anything about landscape, but that's what I would do. Good luck (I'm off to bed) | 04:10 |
| Tecna | linuxmascot: if you can understand it, the link Wiesshund gave you is work trying, too | 04:10 |
| jrib | russ: there are a few numbers on that page too you can try | 04:10 |
| tindefacto | Hello | 04:10 |
| Tecna | linuxmascot: *worth | 04:11 |
| Tecna | !hello | tindefacto | 04:11 |
| ubottu | tindefacto: 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! | 04:11 |
| linuxmascot | Tecna: I'm reading it, i'll see how well i do. | 04:11 |
| tindefacto | Does anyone here have a good knowledge of BitTorrent clients? | 04:11 |
| [IA]Zealot | Question: In 10.04 Server, how to I permanently disable screen blanking for all the ttys ? | 04:11 |
| linuxmascot | Wiess: it says they used 9.10 | 04:11 |
| rww | ubottu: anyone | tindefacto | 04:11 |
| ubottu | tindefacto: 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? | 04:11 |
| Tecna | tindefacto: I suggest azurus / vuze | 04:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | [IA]Zealot, IF you don't get an answer here, try asking in #ubuntu-server. | 04:12 |
| [IA]Zealot | ZykoticK9: Oh snap, I'll check there too | 04:12 |
| tindefacto | Question: I have my computer split between Windows and Ubuntu. I have uTorrent on Windows and wish to bring the torrent over to Ubuntu to seed. Is there a way that it's possible? | 04:12 |
| tesuji | anybody understand /proc ? what creates the entries? something in the kernel? | 04:13 |
| shauno | tesuji: exactly | 04:14 |
| Interwebs | Hi, can someone help me out, I'm panicking. | 04:14 |
| rww | tindefacto: should be. Copy the torrent's contents over to the Ubuntu box, download the .torrent file, and point the torrent client to where the contents are. It'll check that they match the .torrent file and start seeding. | 04:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | !ask | Interwebs | 04:14 |
| ubottu | Interwebs: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 04:14 |
| rww | tindefacto: pretty much any client -- including the one that ships with Ubuntu, Transmission -- can do that | 04:14 |
| tindefacto | Okay, thanks rww | 04:14 |
| Interwebs | My ethernet controller seems to have disappeared from lspci | 04:14 |
| Jeaton | is there a terminal base torrent app for linux? | 04:14 |
| tesuji | Shauno my system is hacked and i know there is stuff runig that doesn't show up in ps | 04:14 |
| outer_space | how can I read mail if theres no mail command in ubuntu or in apt-get? | 04:14 |
| shauno | Jeaton: a few, I think rtorrent is the most common | 04:15 |
| Interwebs | It was there last time I booted, and I was connected with it. Now its gone | 04:15 |
| zkriesse | outer_space: ah install a mail client | 04:15 |
| SimonSayez | testi, run the top command | 04:15 |
| zkriesse | outer_space: or use your web browser | 04:15 |
| rww | Jeaton: there are several. I use rtorrent. Deluge and Transmission both have command-line versions too, I think, and there's also bittornado and bittorrent. | 04:15 |
| Jordan_U | tesuji: Why do you think you have been hacked? That's very unlikely. | 04:15 |
| outer_space | i dont know how. its on a server that you ssh into | 04:15 |
| Jeaton | thanks rww | 04:15 |
| Wiesshund | tesuji its kind of hard for someone to do that unless you run alot of things as root | 04:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | rww, Transmission support something with ext4 that reduces fragmentation dramatically when using torrents. Jeaton | 04:16 |
| tesuji | Jordan_U, that is a saga, pls don't tell me what's going on, but if u will help me get info i'd appreciate | 04:16 |
| Tecna | tindefacto: mount your windows drive, start downloading the torrent, pause it, copy or symlink the previously downloaded files over the new files, then force a check in the torrent client. it should detect that the files are completely downloaded then move them to the seeding list | 04:16 |
| Wiesshund | tesuji or you got a room mate who likes putting crap in your init, still top will show the processes running | 04:16 |
| tesuji | Wiesshund, it is a long story but if you will give ifo it would help | 04:17 |
| rww | ZykoticK9: I assume you mean pre-allocation, which is also a standard torrent client feature. | 04:17 |
| Interwebs | I guess what I'm saying, is does anyone have any idea how/why a device that worked previously could not only stop working but disappear from lspci | 04:17 |
| Wiesshund | tesuji run top, you will see every process running | 04:17 |
| shauno | tesuji: in /proc, you'll find a directory matching each running pid. the file 'cmdline' within each of those will tell you what command corresponds to that pid | 04:17 |
| Wiesshund | Interwebs yes, device physicaly failed for some reason | 04:18 |
| SimonSayez | Wiesshund, I like running the top command | 04:18 |
| Jordan_U | tesuji: To get support you need to provide full information, as well as trust that your own diagnosis may not be correct. | 04:18 |
| hoosiers_83 | still looking for a decent media player that supports mtp (sansa). rhythmbox crashes when i adjust volume, don't like audacious or amarok, banshee's library watcher is broken. anything else to try? | 04:18 |
| Interwebs | Wiesshund: I guess what I was asking is: does that indicate definitively a failure with the device, or could it be a problem with Ubuntu? | 04:18 |
| SteveThing | can anyone suggest a good linux book (distro neutral) for a novice linux user, but technically inclined person (network admin)? I'm also looking for a good book on ubuntu | 04:19 |
| Wiesshund | Interwebs on the level lspci looks, its most likely the device. many bios wil give an lspci 'like' output during boot as well showing the devices it saw | 04:19 |
| SimonSayez | SteveThing, Why distro neutral ? | 04:20 |
| Wiesshund | SteveThing linux for dummies (no offense meant) | 04:20 |
| SteveThing | i'm looking for something that will explain scripting on multiple levels of complexity with an in depth explanation | 04:20 |
| ZykoticK9 | hoosiers_83, [I HATE to recommend this but] for music players i always liked Songbird (until they dropped linux support, so I dropped it - RIP Songbird) | 04:20 |
| SteveThing | SimonSayez, for basic linux reference | 04:20 |
| Interwebs | Wiesshund: also, lshw can't find it, but hwinfo makes some mention of it | 04:21 |
| SteveThing | Wiesshund, tried, it was too "Dummy" for me | 04:21 |
| xangua | !manual > SteveThing | 04:21 |
| ubottu | SteveThing, please see my private message | 04:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | hoosiers_83, you should report follow up on the rhythmbox volume issue/bug! | 04:21 |
| jru898 | has anyone successfully gotten a logitech quickcam for notebooks running in 10.04? | 04:21 |
| jru898 | If so could you direct me to how you did | 04:21 |
| SimonSayez | SteveThing, Its best to get a Linux specific book depending on what distro you will be working with | 04:21 |
| hoosiers_83 | it's fixed in .13. but that release doesn't remember my music library every time i start it. so i have to sit there as thousands of songs get reloaded | 04:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | jru898, does it not work in Cheese? | 04:21 |
| Wiesshund | jru898 what series/age ive gotten them to work in cheese but not other things like skype. but the ones i have are older | 04:22 |
| fishcooker | any pointer to linux based robot | 04:22 |
| fishcooker | ? | 04:22 |
| tindefacto | Okay, thanks for the help | 04:22 |
| hoosiers_83 | i'll probably just stick with banshee, and have to manually update my libraries because the extension that supposed to do that, is broke | 04:22 |
| SimonSayez | SteveThing, This is a very good Ubuntu Linux book http://www.amazon.com/Practical-Guide-Ubuntu-Linux/dp/013236039X | 04:23 |
| shauno | tesuji: really, the most useful suggestion I could give you in that situation is to get the machine offline. post-mortem if you're capable, reinstall (or *trusted* backup) if not. If you think someone's got far enough to patch ps/libproc, there's really nothing you can trust to be done with the system running | 04:23 |
| fishcooker | any pointer to linux based robot... | 04:24 |
| SteveThing | SimonSayez, I was looking at that already... seems a bit outdated already :( | 04:24 |
| tindefacto | Question: I have a partitioned hard drive (Windows 7/Ubuntu) and would like to set up all my music onto rhythmbox. Is there a way that iTunes on the Windows side and Rhythmbox can share the same files> | 04:24 |
| Wiesshund | fishcooker er you mean like a serial port robot? | 04:24 |
| jru898 | That's my question actually, it works in cheese, but nothing else | 04:24 |
| Wiesshund | tindefacto yes, use the win partition to store the music | 04:24 |
| xangua | jru898: nothing else like what¿¿ | 04:25 |
| tindefacto | Wiesshund: Thanks. Will Rhythmvox try to change the ID3 tags so iTunes won't read it or will it work without hassle? | 04:25 |
| Wiesshund | tindefacto easier for linux to see music on a ntfs drive than windows to see an etx4 | 04:25 |
| Kurogane | how i can check what app is using a port? | 04:25 |
| Wiesshund | tindefacto ive not noticed rhythmbox changing mine no | 04:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | tindefacto, by default Rhythmbox doesn't write to ID3 tags - i WISH it did! | 04:25 |
| tindefacto | Wiesshund: Thank you very much! | 04:26 |
| Jeaton | rww - already installed it and without reading how to operate it, I already open it up and don't know how to exit | 04:26 |
| jru898 | skype and flash based online alternatives | 04:26 |
| SteveThing | can KeePassX DB's be exported to other drives (i.e. thumb drives or CDs)? I can't figure out how | 04:27 |
| Wiesshund | jru898 yea i had the same issue, tried the webcam drivers from the repository and some 3rd party ones too. only thing it worked in was cheese | 04:27 |
| hermanlf | Yo anyone, what's the gui that lets you start/stop/restart system services from x? I've used it before but I can't remember the name. | 04:28 |
| jru898 | Also, when I do have image (in cheese) it's extremely dark, and I don't see the option to increase the exposure | 04:28 |
| Wiesshund | hermanlf system monitor? | 04:29 |
| hermanlf | hmm, nope, that's not it Wiesshund | 04:30 |
| Wiesshund | jru898 alot of the semi old chipset webcams dont adhere to the usb camera standard, and the makers dont put out any linux drivers to hack a work around | 04:30 |
| Jeaton | anyone familiar with setting up a local virtual host in apache2? | 04:30 |
| tntc | Hey, am I crazy for going from 64-bit ubuntu to 32-bit ubuntu with PAE? I've had a few compatability issues with 64-bit | 04:30 |
| jru898 | Well, that is quite lame | 04:30 |
| tntc | but I have yet to see a problem where a package was like "64-bit required" | 04:31 |
| * uRock wants to know who killed the ubuntuforums.org server. | 04:31 | |
| miniuser | hello. i have been googleing, but i cannot find anything usefull ... what is ICE? | 04:31 |
| hermanlf | Wiesshund: the app I'm talking about lets you also start a system service that's not already running. | 04:31 |
| fishcooker | Wiesshund: linux kernel on robot processor arch | 04:31 |
| miniuser | whats a "ICE listening socket"? | 04:32 |
| Wiesshund | jru898 yea i know. they still sell webcams that dont adhere to the proper standards, they make drivers for windows to hack around that. saddly none for linux | 04:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | hermanlf, i hope you get an answer... a non-"system monitor" answer... you just reposted. System / Admin / Services was removed a few Ubuntu versions ago i believe. i know of no replacements compatible with Upstart. Good luck man. | 04:32 |
| shauno | tntc: very little will actually require 64bit unless it's handling *very* large chunks of data. if you find 32bit more comfortable, it's your computer and it should work /for/ you. Go for it. | 04:32 |
| sharris | I still havent resolved my freezing issue, but i did find where somebody posted the same thing on the forum http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1527147 | 04:32 |
| hermanlf | Ah np. I'll just use the cli to start it. I was thinking of the service manager in fedora *DOH*. I've been on fedora for too long. | 04:33 |
| jru898 | Note to self, do your research before buying your next webcam | 04:33 |
| uRock | yup | 04:33 |
| matrix | hello | 04:34 |
| Wiesshund | hermanlf there may be a services manager for ubuntu you might look in the repository | 04:34 |
| uRock | !hi > matrix | 04:34 |
| ubottu | matrix, please see my private message | 04:34 |
| hermanlf | jru898: true that. If it doesn't work with linux, it's not a webcam :) | 04:34 |
| Wiesshund | hermanlf im sure such a thing does exist for ubuntu | 04:34 |
| kancerman | jru898: exactly what I did before completely switching to Ubuntu ;) | 04:34 |
| hermanlf | k, I'll take a peek | 04:34 |
| hermanlf | thanks Wiesshund. | 04:34 |
| tntc | shauno: well, I'm a coder. I'm honestly finding a lot of stuff like python is 32-bit anyhow. PAE means I can access more than 4gb, but I can't have a single application access more than 4gb still, correct? | 04:34 |
| tntc | well, the python modules I need are 32-bit. I know there is 64-bit python | 04:35 |
| shauno | tntc: spot on. the OS can see the whole chunk, but a single process can't allocate it all | 04:35 |
| Wiesshund | jru898 not that its any consolation, but the quickcams they sell now are STILL using a very old chip | 04:35 |
| jru898 | Update! I got it working with flash based alternatives | 04:35 |
| shauno | tntc: only really an issue if you want vmware to give more than 4Gb to a guest, or similar. Very few normal cases where one process will need a >4Gb alloc | 04:36 |
| jru898 | I had to run qcset /dev/video0 compat=dblbuf | 04:36 |
| jru898 | All that did was enable double buffering | 04:36 |
| jru898 | But that made the computer recognize it as a webcam | 04:36 |
| jru898 | Still no skype support | 04:37 |
| Wiesshund | heh | 04:37 |
| tntc | shauno: I run VMs, but I doubt I'm going to give any VM 4gb when I have 8gb total, so that works for me :) | 04:37 |
| jru898 | But it's progress | 04:37 |
| Wiesshund | jru no skype will probably crash when you enable it | 04:37 |
| hermanlf | yeah, skype for linux bites | 04:37 |
| Wiesshund | jru898 try opening cheese to tickle the cam on, then have skype try to use it | 04:37 |
| Wiesshund | jru898 you might try looking for this driver but no promises qc-usb-0.6.6 | 04:38 |
| jru898 | I already have that one | 04:38 |
| jru898 | It wasn't working until I enable the double buffering | 04:38 |
| Wiesshund | jru898 ah, ok | 04:38 |
| jru898 | And skype doesn't even recognize it exists | 04:39 |
| jru898 | But I'm fine with the flash programs | 04:39 |
| jru898 | And I'll mess around with it until I find a workaroudn | 04:39 |
| jru898 | workaround* | 04:39 |
| Wiesshund | jru898 oh it will if you open cheese 1st hehe, then skype will kill itself LOL | 04:39 |
| roaddhogg | will installing ubuntu delete windows | 04:39 |
| tesuji | roaddhogg, no | 04:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | roaddhogg, it can if done improperly! Proceed with caution! | 04:40 |
| Wiesshund | roaddhogg no, not unless you go and delete the windows partition | 04:40 |
| jru898 | @Roadhogg back important stuff up first just in case | 04:40 |
| tntc | roaddhogg: or just use WUBI | 04:41 |
| roaddhogg | id rather not use wubi | 04:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | roaddhogg, avoid WUBI if possible! | 04:41 |
| Snandy | I am trying to run Ubuntu 10.04 off of Live CD to recover files from my hard drive. The screen is all "fuzzy" and shaky. How do I either add graphic drivers are set it to 1680X1024 resolution? | 04:41 |
| tntc | reuteras: Personally, I just backed up windows, installed Ubuntu on the whole drive, and installed Windows in VMWare Workstation. | 04:42 |
| tntc | roaddhogg: ^ not reuteras, sorry. | 04:42 |
| JulieJulie | Hey guys, I don't have a usb stick that is over 2gb right now at home but I do have a blank external drive. How can I install ubuntu using my external hard drive to my netbook? | 04:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | Snandy, if you have a partial working screen i'd just recover the files - trying to get proper working drivers in LiveCD might be a lot more trouble then it's worth. good luck though :) | 04:43 |
| shauno | JulieJulie: I haven't tried it (for linux atleast), but there should be no difference in the process. they essentially appear as the same thing to the system (usb-massstorage, just one wildly bigger than the other) | 04:43 |
| tntc | JulieJulie: how big is your usb stick? I don't think you need a full 2gb for the install. | 04:43 |
| JulieJulie | well it is igb | 04:43 |
| Snandy | ZykoticK9: Hmmm good point. Do you think it will harm the monitor at all? | 04:43 |
| JulieJulie | tntc, it is 1gb and the site says it needs more | 04:43 |
| JulieJulie | tntc, I believe the image is only 700? | 04:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | Snandy, doubt it - it's being under used | 04:44 |
| JulieJulie | Shauno, I was thinking the same thing | 04:44 |
| JulieJulie | Shauno, but I didnt try it cause I feel like it is so specfic | 04:44 |
| tntc | JulieJulie: 1gb should be enough. give it a shot. | 04:45 |
| Jeaton | anyone here really familiar with apache and virtual hosts? | 04:45 |
| Wiesshund | JulieJulie you can use unetbootin and not need any drive | 04:45 |
| mariano_ | Hi, do you guys have an idea of why Lubuntu is not saving my display settings? | 04:46 |
| Snandy | Anyone here run WoW (or other games) off of Ubuntu. The plan was to recover my files and put Win7 on and replace vista. But honestly, I would love to switch to Ubuntu if I can get it to play my PC games, run Office 2007/2010 (I have to for school) and run Outlook. How doable are all of these things? | 04:46 |
| tntc | JulieJulie: my flash drive is only using 701M | 04:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | Jeaton, only "basically", but i believe vhosts is on by default on ubuntu - and you have to have settings in some hosts-available and hosts-active or something.... good luck man. | 04:46 |
| Wiesshund | Snandy i run WOW | 04:46 |
| JulieJulie | Wiesshund, what is unetbooting? | 04:47 |
| Wiesshund | Snandy and you dont need office, linux has open office and star office (think you have to buy star office now though) | 04:47 |
| Snandy | Wiesshund: With running PC games (I assume WineX? DUnno, I havent used unix since 1994), do you ever feel the need to dual boot a form of windows? | 04:47 |
| Wiesshund | JulieJulie http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/unetbootin/wiki/installmodes | 04:47 |
| JulieJulie | tntc, lol now it is the trouble of finding it too haha | 04:48 |
| Wiesshund | Snandy i dont need to dual boot unless i want to run some older not very well programmed game | 04:48 |
| ZykoticK9 | mariano_, reask same question in #lubuntu as well ;) good luck - lubuntu is kinda neat, i tried it in a VM for the 1st time the other day. | 04:48 |
| tntc | JulieJulie: HA! I know that feeling. | 04:48 |
| JulieJulie | tntc, lol welcome to my life! | 04:48 |
| welinux | !ping | 04:48 |
| ubottu | pong | 04:48 |
| tntc | JulieJulie: unetbootin would let you install to the external, but I think you'd have to wipe the drive. | 04:48 |
| SimonSayez | sleep() is a beautiful thing | 04:48 |
| ZykoticK9 | mariano_, are you using nvidia? | 04:48 |
| Wiesshund | tntc no | 04:49 |
| Snandy | If moving from Outlook 2007 to Evolution, will I miss any key features much? | 04:49 |
| Wiesshund | Snandy nah i dont think so. | 04:49 |
| albertl | hey guys, which app do you recommend me to virtualize windows and/or macos on ubuntu. I'm a newbie at this. thanks in advance | 04:49 |
| SimonSayez | stasis() | 04:49 |
| tntc | Wiesshund: if it's an external HD, it's probably NTFS. Does unetbootin work with NTFS? | 04:49 |
| mariano_ | Yeah... It made a junk P3 PC run much faster for internet browsing than few other PCs here... | 04:49 |
| Wiesshund | tntc unetbootin doesnt wipe your drive at all | 04:49 |
| mariano_ | nop, not nvidia | 04:50 |
| Snandy | Wiesshund: Ok thanks for the answers! | 04:50 |
| Wiesshund | tntc yea you run the win32 unetbooting and it works like a mini wubu livecd | 04:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | mariano_, ummm, try in #lubuntu then :) good luck. | 04:50 |
| mariano_ | is a very old graphics cars.. hmmmm... I think is Savage | 04:50 |
| === mjampala is now known as dude | ||
| Wiesshund | Snandy you can always keep windows for a while until your sure | 04:50 |
| JulieJulie | Wiesshund, lol unetbooting looks a bit complicated | 04:51 |
| Wiesshund | JulieJulie nope not really | 04:51 |
| Snandy | Shoooot Live CD isn't seeing my SATA raid hard drives, where I had hoped to move the files to | 04:51 |
| mariano_ | Oh you know you're right!! It is NVidia | 04:51 |
| mariano_ | Sorry, I got confuse with the older one | 04:51 |
| Snandy | Vista is FUBARed, I am reinstalling something tonight, I don't care what it is as long as it isn't Vista | 04:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | mariano_, "lspci | grep -i vga" | 04:51 |
| antonio_ | exit | 04:52 |
| antonio_ | haha..whoops | 04:52 |
| Snandy | I'd darn ear put WinME on before Vista now | 04:52 |
| Wiesshund | Snandy google grub and sata raid, there might be something you need to do at boot to see the raid | 04:52 |
| Snandy | Which will work via live cd? | 04:52 |
| Wiesshund | Snandy also did you create the raid in the windows management console? or other? | 04:53 |
| abhijit | hello | 04:53 |
| Snandy | The raid is through the motherboard | 04:53 |
| Wiesshund | Snandy any grub method will work fromthe liveCD youd hold shift at boot to get the grub menu | 04:53 |
| roaddhogg | so if i install ubuntu via boot cd, what do i do to make sure it won't do anything to W7? | 04:53 |
| Snandy | Thanks | 04:53 |
| xangua | roaddhogg: create a diferent partition for ubuntu | 04:54 |
| Wiesshund | Snandy i undertand the MB part but theres a windows method of making the raid, which unfortunately only windows can see | 04:54 |
| welinux | roaddhogg: believe Ubuntu | 04:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | roaddhogg, choose the install option to install "along side windows" - i think it's the default but be sure, it's the partitioning section of the install that's important to you right now. | 04:55 |
| Wiesshund | Snandy you would have dont that in the management console under storage, by modifying the partitions. most people dont do that but a few do | 04:55 |
| Wiesshund | er dont = done | 04:55 |
| Wiesshund | ZykoticK9 yea thats the default. personaly i like the eat windows option but hehehe | 04:56 |
| Wiesshund | Snandy silly question but why you running raid on what sounds like a normal desktop/game pc? | 04:56 |
| Strife89 | A friend of mine was browsing YouTube when he encountered the error message in the screenshot. Firefox crashed badly and currently cannot be killed (might just be slow about that, though). Any interpretations? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1905158/Screenshot%20%282%29.png | 04:57 |
| Snandy | I will say one thing, so far the Live CD rocks. In 10 seconds I was able to start doing something | 04:57 |
| Wiesshund | Strife89 kill its pid in top, bet it dies quick | 04:57 |
| Strife89 | Fair enough, but we're still wondering what the error message could mean. | 04:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | Strife89, perhaps the mozilla support channel might have insights into that specific error message?!? | 04:58 |
| Strife89 | I highly doubt it. | 04:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | Strife89, you could try searching LaunchPad? | 04:59 |
| Strife89 | All I'm after right now are educated guesses. | 04:59 |
| Wiesshund | Snandy if you decide to trash windows, rather than a raid youd maybe like to have the extra drive space. ive never got much advantage out of a raid array if i wasnt doing a ton of sequential file accesses | 04:59 |
| Strife89 | There is no way, as far as I'm aware, that this exact error is in any database. | 04:59 |
| Wiesshund | Strife89 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/558858 | 05:00 |
| ZykoticK9 | Strife89, perhaps true, but you need someone familiar enough with the code to actually get some useful info out of this error.... | 05:00 |
| Snandy | can I just install ubuntu unto this winVista partition and just use it, and once I get in delete all the winows crap I dont need? | 05:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | Wiesshund, nice! | 05:01 |
| Strife89 | Wiesshund: I stand corrected. | 05:01 |
| xangua | unto¿¿ | 05:01 |
| Wiesshund | Snandy no cause the win partition is NTFS file system and Linux uses ETX | 05:01 |
| Snandy | Thanks | 05:02 |
| Wiesshund | Strife89 ive no idea what caused it, but atleast your not alone | 05:02 |

| sharris | im having an issue with a new ubuntu install and the keyboard and mousepad randomly stopping, i finally bought a usb mouse and keyboard to try that and now the usb mouse stopped and the pad works again... but i tried to type something with the usb keyboard and its repeating the first letter i hit...and caps lock and stuff doesnt work at all as if the driver is frozen or something | 05:34 |
| shauno | xae8koo: (eg, 10.0.1.1 is the vps, .2 is another machine behind the nat, etc). solves the issue of nat traversal, after that it's just like managing them across a lan | 05:34 |
| trongthanh | tucemiux, I'm about to download them, I just think about maybe download to another location | 05:34 |
| xae8koo | shauno: That seams sensible | 05:34 |
| tucemiux | trongthanh, this guide will show you how to do that: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Synaptic/PackageDownloadScript | 05:35 |
| tucemiux | sharris, what type of machine do you have? manufacturer and model, sounds like your machine either doesnt like linux or you have hardware errors | 05:35 |
| trongthanh | ok I'll try | 05:35 |
| shauno | xae8koo: I'd set the vps as the server, have the nat'd machines connect outbound to it. and then pay attention to 'push route' options in the config files. you don't want to do that, else they'll tunnel all outbound traffic via the vps, and your bill will not be pretty. of course, I'm sure there's more than one way to do it | 05:35 |
| sharris | Alienware Area 51m Laptop | 05:36 |
| === jack is now known as Guest44519 | ||
| sharris | ok, both keyboards dont work and neither the mouse or the pad works... i thought it was frozen, but i hit the power button and the shutdown menu popped up and it counted down then shutoff :-/ | 05:37 |
| xae8koo | shauno: I would sort of like a fancy web interface and stuff that managed my computers. | 05:38 |
| tucemiux | sharris, sorry but i dont think that alienware laptop likes linux, it doesnt play nice with the hardware, I would suggest filing a bug report and asking a developer to fix the issues you are experiencing | 05:39 |

| ZykoticK9 | wrenny, installing ubuntu-restricted-extras will install flash and a bunch of codecs you might like MP3/AVI/etc. something to keep in mind. | 05:48 |

| ZykoticK9 | xae8koo, one linux remote control option is SSH, you can use X forwarding if you want GUI apps. not exactly what you're looking for i don't think... | 05:50 |
| Wiesshund | ZykoticK9 sounds like he wants a web app that shows server online and maybe issues some commands? | 05:50 |

| PythonPup | Yerushalmi, It means your kerlel can't boot. Sometimes, you can boot to a prior kernel and get into the system. | 06:08 |
| Yerushalmi | PythonPup: How do I do that? | 06:08 |
| PythonPup | Yerushalmi, carefully and with a fair amount of trouble. | 06:09 |
| Yerushalmi | PythonPup: Wonderful. Can you walk me through it? | 06:09 |
| Yerushalmi | Pretty please? :) | 06:09 |
| pepperjack | Yerushalmi: if the menu is hidden the prior kernel might be available as a menu entry. might try hitting esc at bootup to get into grub menu then arrow down to prevous kernel | 06:09 |
| Yerushalmi | Ah, okay, I'll try that | 06:10 |
| PythonPup | Yerushalmi, Installing kvm on Maverick caused that problem for me recently. I'll give you the basics. I used a Knoppix CD to boot the computer. I manually mounted the hard drive and then edited /boot/grub/grub.cfg to select a different default choice. | 06:10 |
| xangua | pepperjack: it wasn't the Alt key¿¿ | 06:11 |
| Yerushalmi | pepperjack: Tried hitting Escape every other second after the BIOS screen disappeared, no luck - still at the initramfs | 06:11 |
| pepperjack | ah might be different now. i may be thinking of grub1 | 06:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | Yerushalmi, hold down shift if you are using Grub2 | 06:11 |
| Yerushalmi | PythonPup: I have no idea what kvm and Maverick are. All I know is that yesterday evening I came out of hibernate, didn't have write (only read) access to anything, rebooted, and got this. | 06:12 |
| PythonPup | pepperjack,, the option is still there in grub2. The window where it looks for the key is just very brief. | 06:12 |

| razz1 | which vnc server is considered to be secure and efficient? I am looking at x11vnc and freenx to replace vino. | 06:18 |
| Yerushalmi | Booting up the previous kernel at least brings me to the ubuntu loading screen, but then "Errors were found while checking the disk drive for /" | 06:18 |
| PythonPup | razz1, freenx is much faster than vnc. No vnc is very secure. If you want that, tunnel it through a vpn or ssh. | 06:18 |
| melvster | hi all ... anyone know if i can move the mouse pointer from a command line script? | 06:19 |

| PythonPup | melvster, Sure, write a script to tell the user to move the mouse. | 06:19 |
| PythonPup | Yerushalmi, It sounds like you have some corrupted files this time. | 06:20 |

| PythonPup | Yerushalmi, I have used 2 different approaches. One was wiping the whole computer and reinstalling. Two was setting the old kernel to be the default and living with it until a newer kernel came out. In other words, I never directly fixed the problem. Sorry. | 06:26 |

| razz1 | which one is better freenx or neatx? | 06:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Yerushalmi: you could reinstall the kernel. See if its friendlier. Run: sudo apt-get clean ,so you have to download a fresh one | 06:27 |
| PythonPup | Are you using grub1 or grub2, Yerushalmi? | 06:27 |
| === zz_PhilMather is now known as PhilMather | ||

| ZykoticK9 | ActionParsnip, i don't fully understand Bum yet, but great tool! thanks | 06:28 |
| Yerushalmi | ActionParsnip: Oh, awesome. Don't have internet access right now, I'll do that from home, so in the meantime I'll set up the default boot on the previous one. | 06:28 |

| ZykoticK9 | ActionParsnip, i'm actually looking at the version in Maverick at the moment, will certainly install in Lucid when i reboot ;) | 06:30 |
| ActionParsnip | wrenny: the default install will use nouveau, you can install the proprietary if you like | 06:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | wrenny, System / Admin / Hardware Drivers - then activate whatever nvidia version is Recommended | 06:30 |
| Jinxzs | is it okay to remove all in start-up programs? | 06:31 |
| PythonPup | Yerushalmi, edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg. There is a line that says set default="0". You probably change the 0 to a 2. But, you need to look in the file to see if that is right. Count down to see where the prior kernel is. The first one is 0. | 06:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Jinxzs: sure if you want a very stripped down system. Just remove what you don't need, like cups if you never use it, or the filesharing stuff if you don't use that either | 06:32 |
| === PhilMather is now known as zz_PhilMather | ||

| wrenny | says Oracle VM virualbox guest additions for Linux Module | 06:33 |
| Yerushalmi | PythonPup: recovery modes don't count among the numbers, right? So if I'm using one kernel down, it's set default="1", and two kernels down it's 2, right? | 06:34 |
| PythonPup | Sounds dangerous, but it is your system, Yerushalmi | 06:34 |
| Yerushalmi | Why dangerous? | 06:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | wrenny, if you installing in VirtualBox install the Guest Additions! totally different the real hardware. | 06:34 |
| PythonPup | Yerushalmi, They do count. That was why I said 2, and not 1. | 06:34 |
| Yerushalmi | Ah, so I gotta do 4. | 06:34 |
| wrenny | wait what? | 06:34 |
| Yerushalmi | Previous kernel didn't work, I went two back. | 06:34 |
| ActionParsnip | wrenny: is the ubuntu install in a virtualbox? | 06:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | wrenny, is you Ubuntu installed inside a VirtualBox VM? | 06:35 |
| wrenny | yea | 06:35 |
| wrenny | i already install Guest thing i think | 06:35 |
| PythonPup | Yerushalmi, OK, 4 it is. Don't worry about the update-grub. It is not needed, and would probably erase your fix. | 06:35 |

| ActionParsnip | wrenny: you can use an xorg.conf to get a larger display too | 06:35 |
| wrenny | guide me there please | 06:36 |
| ZykoticK9 | wrenny, in the properties for the VM - in the main VBox window | 06:36 |

| sudharsh | Hi all, I am trying to setup NFS in my local network. Have installed nfs-kernel-server in my server and nfs-kernel-common in my client. Have put entries in /etc/exports and the server starts fine. However, I am not able to mount the directories in my client. Keep getting " RPC Error: Program not registered".. Is there any diagnostics I can do to fix this? | 06:36 |
| PythonPup | wrenny, did you install the guest package from Synaptic. It does not really help. You need the installer from Sun. | 06:36 |
| wrenny | all i see is Machine Devices help at top | 06:36 |
| Wiesshund | same | 06:36 |
| ActionParsnip | wrenny: your ubuntu won't seen an nvidia video chip. It will see a virtualised chip so you can't install nvidia drivers there | 06:37 |
| sudharsh | ... and this is the server version. So do not have the luxury of gvfs | 06:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | wrenny, right click on your ubuntu vm / settings / click Display - Enable 3d checkbox and increase the memory slider | 06:37 |
| ibrahim-kasem | Hi, If I want to update from 9.10 Karmic to 10.04 Lucid How much is the size of the update files because I have a slow internet connection kind of | 06:37 |
| PythonPup | Yerushalmi, Because you could accidently edit other files. I stay in a sudo command as little as needed. | 06:37 |
| Yerushalmi | PythonPup: Ah. I see. | 06:37 |
| wrenny | I dont see settings | 06:37 |
| Yerushalmi | Anyway, awesome! I'm booting up, using an older kernel | 06:38 |

| razz11 | how to add a user to suoders file, I created a new user and cannot use sudo!! | 06:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | wrenny, not in that window. in the main vbox window, you need to stop your current VM session to make any changes! | 06:38 |

| ZykoticK9 | razz11, add them to the admin group | 06:38 |
| Yerushalmi | PythonPup: If a new kernel shows up, will it appear automatically in Update Manager? | 06:39 |
| greezmunkey | sudharsh: did you restart the NFS daemon after your changes to /etc/exports ? If no, please do so. | 06:39 |
| PythonPup | Yerushalmi, great. Good luck a new kernel comes out every week or two. Wait until the minor version number changes. So, 2.6.32-25 | 06:39 |
| Daemonvs | i cant install ubuntu on my computer im stuck in step 4 of 8, could you help me please? | 06:39 |
| psycho789 | when i try to boot up the ubuntu disc i get a I/O Error - | 06:39 |
| Yerushalmi | *nod* And will it change the grub file back, or will I have to change it back to zero manually? | 06:39 |
| PythonPup | Yerushalmi, yes, it shows up in update manager. | 06:39 |
| psycho789 | it says error reading bood CD | 06:39 |
| ActionParsnip | razz11: use user management or cli to add the user to the admin group, then log it off then on, it will have sudo | 06:39 |
| Daemonvs | i cant install ubuntu on my computer im stuck in step 4 of 8, could you help me please? | 06:39 |

| sudharsh | greezmunkey, i did yeah, on both the server and the client, /etc/init.d/nfs-(kernel-server|common) | 06:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | wrenny, then that's as good as your graphics are gonna get i'm affraid. | 06:40 |

| wrenny | how much Video memory should I set | 06:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | wrenny, i set mine to max, it runs compiz poorly | 06:40 |
| PythonPup | Yerushalmi, It will set it back to 0, unless you stop it. I have to do that on one Maverick test system, because the default keral is a pae one which won't boot on my computer. | 06:40 |
| ibrahim-kasem | Daemonvs, what is the fourth step , please remind me, is it when building the file system ? | 06:40 |
| wrenny | does it make much of a diff with flash to set any more? | 06:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Daemonvs: did you md5 test the iso you downoaded? Did you burn the CD as slowly as you could? Have you tested your RAM? Did you test the CD for defects? | 06:40 |
| Yerushalmi | I have no idea what that meant, but at least I know that things should work automatically from here on... | 06:41 |
| Yerushalmi | PythonPup: Awesome. You've saved the doctoral dissertation of somebody you've never heard of (not me - I'm just the editor). Thanks so much! :) | 06:41 |
| === sudharsh is now known as Sup3rkiddo | ||
| PythonPup | Yerushalmi, keral -> kernel | 06:41 |
| Daemonvs | step 4 is the prepare partition | 06:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Yerushalmi: why don't you have a backup??? | 06:41 |
| PythonPup | Yerushalmi, glad to help. Good luck. | 06:41 |
| Yerushalmi | ActionParsnip: Oh, I do, but I don't have another computer :p | 06:41 |
| psycho789 | what do i do if i keep getting an "error reading boot CD" when i try to start up. ive tried 2 diff CDs | 06:42 |
| ibrahim-kasem | ActionParsnip, as to me I have tested the iso file using md5 and evverything was fine but when building the file system the operation freezes on 5% | 06:42 |
| Daemonvs | i cant see hard drives on step 4 | 06:42 |
| ibrahim-kasem | Daemonvs, yes I am having the same issue with 10.04 on my hp laptop | 06:42 |
| Sup3rkiddo | greezmunkey, showmount -e <ip> isn't helping either. Is there some command I can run to check is everything is alright, as in any troubleshooting steps? | 06:42 |
| Sup3rkiddo | .. and logs? | 06:42 |
| ActionParsnip | ibrahim-kasem: did you test the cd for defects once first booted to? | 06:42 |
| Daemonvs | <ibrahim-kasem> so what should i do? | 06:42 |
| PythonPup | psycho789, bad CD, cd drive, cable, or motherboard. Swap components until you figure out which it is. Hint: Don't start with the motherboard. | 06:43 |
| Yerushalmi | Anyway, you all have a good day, folks. You guys make using Ubuntu a blast. | 06:43 |
| Daemonvs | forget 10.04 and install 9.xx? | 06:43 |
| greezmunkey | sudharsh: rpcinfo ?? man rpcinfo, use would be rpcinfo -p | 06:43 |
| ibrahim-kasem | ActionParsnip, I have burned many cd's on many computers but sorry I don't know what are you talking about | 06:43 |
| Sup3rkiddo | greezmunkey, okie | 06:43 |
| PythonPup | Daemonvs, Always remember 10.04. But, it does not work for a few things. | 06:43 |
| ActionParsnip | ibrahim-kasem: when the stickman shows up, press space then use cursors and enter to select "check CD for defects" | 06:44 |
| Daemonvs | <PythonPup> should i install 9.xx instead? | 06:44 |
| ActionParsnip | ibrahim-kasem: if you burn as slowly as you are allowed, the chance of this passing is greatly increased | 06:45 |
| ibrahim-kasem | ActionParsnip, which one is better upgrading my current or installing a new fresh copy ? | 06:45 |
| Sup3rkiddo | greezmunkey, http://dpaste.com/225169/ I suppose something is up with the client then? | 06:45 |
| PythonPup | Daemonvs, is your problem that you see no drives during the install? If so, then sure try 9.10 and see if it works. My guess is it won't do better, but it is possible. | 06:45 |
| ActionParsnip | ibrahim-kasem: neither is better, nor worse. Both have clear advantages | 06:46 |
| greezmunkey | Sup3rkiddo: check this thread b4 moving on: http://forum.vectorlinux.com/index.php?topic=8800.0 | 06:46 |
| PythonPup | Daemonvs, If 9.10 see the drive, install it and then upgrade to 10.04. | 06:46 |
| Sup3rkiddo | greezmunkey, roger that | 06:46 |
| Daemonvs | <PythonPup> i'll try that | 06:46 |
| Daemonvs | <PythonPup> thanks | 06:46 |
| PythonPup | Daemonvs, but, you probably have a dead or unsopported component in the drive chain. | 06:46 |
| ibrahim-kasem | ActionParsnip, do you have an idea about the size of the update files please ? | 06:47 |
| Daemonvs | <PythonPup> well im using the live and can browse the drives without problems | 06:47 |
| Daemonvs | <PythonPup> live cd* | 06:48 |
| ActionParsnip | ibrahim-kasem: depends on how many packages you have installed. For example if you use abiword instead of whe whole bloated openoffice install, it will take a shorter amount of time as the data needed to install is less | 06:48 |
| ibrahim-kasem | ActionParsnip, yes I understand , thank you very much | 06:49 |
| ActionParsnip | ibrahim-kasem: in linux there are no hard and fast answers as the OS is so flexible. A server install running only print and samba servers will update in a fraction of the time someone with a full blown desktop + compiz + openoffice | 06:49 |
| hua_ | #join ubuntu-cn | 06:49 |
| PythonPup | Daemonvs, that happens every so often. Once installed, you should be fine. The live CD does not have all the drivers. I don't know if it is that some get downloaded during install or what. Your other choice might be to use the alternate installer for 10.04. That is what I'd do next. | 06:50 |
| ibrahim-kasem | Daemonvs, are you installing it on a laptop ? | 06:51 |

| LinuxGuy2009 | Hello, I was wondering if I install a package, lets say VLC for example, within the gnome desktop, if I take all of the packages that were downloaded in the gnome environment, to a different installation that has KDE, fluxbox, etc, installed as the graphical desktop instead, or window manager, is there any chance that a dependency will be missing? For example maybe a library or package that is a part of the gnome desktop will be missing? | 07:06 |
| jussi | GarbageMobileDev: I think youll get a lot more joy with those plugins installed | 07:06 |
| GarbageMobileDev | ubottu | 07:07 |
| GarbageMobileDev | lololol | 07:07 |
| tensorpudding | LinuxGuy2009: Be more specific what you mean by "take all of the packages" | 07:07 |
| GarbageMobileDev | Is there anything else someone wants ME to do for THEM in here? | 07:07 |
| PythonPup | LinuxGuy2009, Certainly, there is a chance | 07:07 |
| jussi | GarbageMobileDev: read the guidelines | 07:07 |
| GarbageMobileDev | Okay lets talk about all of your feelings | 07:07 |
| jussi | !guidelines | 07:07 |
| ubottu | The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 07:07 |
| GarbageMobileDev | before we get to my problem | 07:07 |
| GarbageMobileDev | Seeing "I" joined your network | 07:07 |
| GarbageMobileDev | Okay, ready.. | 07:07 |
| jussi | GarbageMobileDev: basically we just ask you to abide by the rules, thats all. | 07:08 |
| GarbageMobileDev | Rules... | 07:08 |
| tensorpudding | LinuxGuy2009: If you make a list of all the packages you have installed in Ubuntu, and on this theoretical installation running KDE you use aptitude to install those packages again, it will manage the dependencies for you. | 07:08 |
| GarbageMobileDev | Who about you guyys clean your forums | 07:08 |
| GarbageMobileDev | and stop wasting peopels time | 07:08 |
| xangua | GarbageMobileDev: if you are not looking ubuntu support you can just keep quiet or leave | 07:08 |
| GarbageMobileDev | lolol | 07:08 |
| tensorpudding | LinuxGuy2009: It's highly likely that installing those GNOME packages will pull in a lot of GNOME libraries as dependencies. | 07:08 |
| jussi | GarbageMobileDev: as I mentioned, forums help is in #ubuntuforums | 07:08 |
| GarbageMobileDev | See your feelings | 07:08 |
| GarbageMobileDev | Blah, garbage | 07:08 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | I would love a way to download a package along with 100% of dependency packages even the ones that are already on the system. So that I can use APTonCD and not worry about packages missing. Is there a command of some kind or a method to do this? | 07:09 |
| jussi | GarbageMobileDev: Ive attempted to help with your issue, and given a solution | 07:09 |
| tensorpudding | LinuxGuy2009: Such a package would likely be very large and difficult to use. | 07:09 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | What? | 07:10 |
| GarbageMobileDev | Im just goig to sit her and have a BF | 07:10 |
| GarbageMobileDev | here* | 07:10 |
| PythonPup | LinuxGuy2009, You could write a program to do that, I am sure. But, I don't know of one at this time. | 07:10 |
| tensorpudding | LinuxGuy2009: It'd need to be statically-linked to a large number of libraries, like what applications in Windows tend to be | 07:10 |
| xangua | LinuxGuy2009: you can just download the ubuntu DVD | 07:10 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | nm thanks anyways | 07:11 |
| tensorpudding | Actually, think that's a lie, since a lot of Windows applications are dynamically linked to the Windows libraries | 07:11 |

| PythonPup | dr0id, It is easy to make wget not download anything. | 07:14 |
| ActionParsnip | dr0id: as far as I know it just grabs the html file | 07:14 |
| dr0id | yeah, and saving to /home | 07:14 |
| dr0id | I don't want it to do that | 07:14 |
| dr0id | because my cron job will run everyday | 07:14 |

| greezmunkey | ActionParsnip: I increased their BW ten fold. Their pretty happy. So...I'd say I had a good day. | 07:16 |
| dr0id | open means processing | 07:16 |
| ActionParsnip | dr0id: if you wget something and its available then wget will download it. That's what wget does | 07:16 |
| ActionParsnip | greezmunkey: not too shabby. Mind you over wifi..thought it'd be slow | 07:17 |
| dr0id | ActionParsnip: seems like this works for me -> wget -S --spider http://www.google.com :) | 07:17 |

| dr0id | in a cron job | 07:21 |
| ActionParsnip | If you use enough zoom in nautilus you can use the preview function on a few images to observe multiple ip cams | 07:21 |
| dr0id | if I add this -> >> /dev/null 2>&1 | 07:21 |
| dr0id | what would this mean ? | 07:22 |
| ActionParsnip | dr0id: it mean "don't output the usual system output to stdout, I'm not interested" | 07:22 |
| dr0id | well, does the output get saved anywhere ? | 07:22 |
| Onia | *** I am back. Gone for 27mins 16secs *** | 07:23 |

| ActionParsnip | dr0id: /dev/null is a blackhole. It doesn't store anything and is infinite | 07:25 |
| dr0id | aah, thank you :) | 07:25 |
| xangua | cgtobi: use wicd | 07:26 |
| greezmunkey | dr0id: I may be wrong, but /dev/null afaik is the "bit bucket" the computers black hole. | 07:26 |
| ActionParsnip | cgtobi: the network manager process is part of a standard startup for ubuntu | 07:26 |
| === nikolam_ is now known as nikolam | ||
| PythonPup | dr0id, /dev/null is a special device that immediately throws away everything sent to it. | 07:26 |
| dr0id | ok, thanks a lot :) | 07:26 |
| dr0id | can I add more than 1 email ids in MAILTO in a cron entry ? | 07:26 |
| greezmunkey | (I really have to learn to type, and look at the screen at the same time) | 07:26 |
| ActionParsnip | cgtobi: if you don't use 3G then i'd go with xangua and install wicd. It will automagically remove network manager and run at boot | 07:26 |
| Wiesshund | cp windows* /dev/null | 07:26 |
| Blue1 | greezmunkey: it's tough some days... | 07:27 |
| PythonPup | greezmunkey, practice by walking and chewing gum. | 07:27 |
| ActionParsnip | dr0id: not sure dude. Can't see why not | 07:27 |
| RAX_bg | hi guys i was wondering if i can share a folder in the internet, so I can use its contents | 07:27 |
| Blue1 | Wiesshund: cp /dev/zero windows | 07:27 |
| dr0id | ok, thanks a lot, take care :) | 07:27 |
| dr0id | ActionParsnip: thanks a lot to you hehe :) | 07:27 |
| GarbageMobileDev | Im sorry for what i said, I dont think this is garbage OS. I think it can do well. I just want things to work | 07:27 |
| ActionParsnip | greezmunkey: I type looking at the keyboard. I know whe I've messed up :) | 07:28 |
| dr0id | and others too ;)] | 07:28 |
| greezmunkey | PythonPup: I tried that, every time I looked down to check on my feet, the gum fell out of my mouth, so I gave up on it... | 07:28 |
| dr0id | I type looking at the tft tbh | 07:28 |
| PythonPup | RAX_bg, that is what Ubuntu One does for you. | 07:28 |
| dr0id | I don't look at the KB at all | 07:28 |
| xangua | RAX_bg: ftp, ubuntu one, dropbox, opera unite, etc¿¿ | 07:28 |
| cgtobi | its a box with a wired connction, so so I guess xangua's suggestion is my way to go | 07:28 |
| cgtobi | thanks for your help | 07:28 |
| ActionParsnip | GarbageMobileDev: ubuntu isn't always the answer, other linux distros exist, as does BSD and BeOS | 07:28 |
| the_fool | anyone know if there is a way to change the wallpaper everytime I login? | 07:29 |
| PythonPup | BeOS is dead. Try Syllable. | 07:29 |
| RAX_bg | xangua: i dont want smth like ftp i want a folder shared like i share it in my local network | 07:29 |
| tensorpudding | Haiku! | 07:29 |
| cgtobi | the_fool: use a shell script and run it each time you log in | 07:29 |
| Wiesshund | Blue1 now i have a yellow windows | 07:29 |
| tensorpudding | It's almost usable, Haiku is. | 07:29 |
| RAX_bg | xangua: i want to share a game and to start it from other pc outside my local network | 07:29 |
| ActionParsnip | cgtobi: if it never moves you can setup the connectioon in /etc/network/interfaces and remove all graphical network management apps as they aren't needed | 07:29 |
| ActionParsnip | cgtobi: unless you mess with vpn etc | 07:30 |
| RAX_bg | is this possible? | 07:30 |
| the_fool | cgtobi, thanks, that's a good idea - quick follow up - how hard do you think it would be to check the boarder of the image and set backround color? | 07:30 |
| Wiesshund | the_fool yes kind of | 07:30 |
| Blue1 | Wiesshund: you weren't supposed to pee on it! hmm maybe that's what pee cee stand for? | 07:30 |
| ActionParsnip | RAX_bg: is the game 2D? | 07:30 |
| PythonPup | RAX_bg, Ubuntu One acts like a folder on your network. Once you login, and you can do that automatically, it is a folder whose contents get synced with a server in the cloud. | 07:30 |
| Wiesshund | the_fool look in usr/share/backgrounds/cosmos a script file like that will change it through out the day | 07:30 |
| RealEyes | hey guys i was just wondering of some good themes and also wanted to ask whats good to do after I've got compiz set up? | 07:30 |
| ActionParsnip | !theme | RealEyes | 07:31 |
| ubottu | RealEyes: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy | 07:31 |
| the_fool | Wiesshund, thakns, I'll look into it - think it would be hard to alter? | 07:31 |
| red2kic | RealEyes: Clearlooks. :) | 07:31 |
| Wiesshund | the_fool nope easy to alter. very simple format | 07:31 |
| RAX_bg | ActionParsnip: no, its 3d im talking about WoW | 07:31 |
| ActionParsnip | RealEyes: use your system is a good thing to do before after and during setting up compiz | 07:31 |
| RealEyes | whats clearlooks? | 07:31 |
| the_fool | Wiesshund, awesome well off i go :) | 07:31 |
| RAX_bg | PythonPup: I think this is what i want | 07:31 |
| ActionParsnip | RAX_bg: could be tricky, it'll lag like crazy | 07:31 |
| cgtobi | ActionParsnip: yeah, I thought about that but as I'll pass that installation(image) to a friend who is not that much of a linux guy he'll be better of with the gui version :) | 07:32 |
| RealEyes | i am using my system, eventhough i still use win7 to play SCII | 07:32 |
| cgtobi | ActionParsnip: but thanks for that suggestion | 07:32 |
| PythonPup | Try it. It is free for 1 gig of data. At least, I think that is the free limit. | 07:32 |
| Wiesshund | SCII? | 07:32 |
| ActionParsnip | RAX_bg: you could run wine in a very small windowed desktop and run it over a forwarded ssh, or you could vnc. Either way its gonna suck | 07:32 |
| red2kic | RealEyes: "sudo aptitude install gnome-themes" -- Oh wait. You should have that installed already. Look in Themes (in Appearance). Clearlooks. | 07:32 |
| DasEi | RealEyes: clearlooks is a theme for gnome | 07:32 |
| Wiesshund | RealEyes have you tried starcraft2 under wine? | 07:33 |
| RAX_bg | PythonPup: the other thing is that i want the folder to be visible from a windows based machine will that be possible with ubuntu one | 07:33 |
| ActionParsnip | cgtobi: if it never moves and will always use a wired link, the gui will never be used | 07:33 |
| RealEyes | clearlooks is ugly :/ | 07:33 |
| RealEyes | I was thinking something dark maybe blue? | 07:33 |
| RealEyes | transparent | 07:33 |
| RealEyes | and I'd like to keep the open/close buttons on the left lol | 07:33 |
| cgtobi | ActionParsnip: true | 07:33 |
| RAX_bg | ActionParsnip: the client machine will be windows based so dont need of wine | 07:33 |
| PythonPup | RAX_bg. I don't know. I don't use windows. The client is all in Python, so it should be possible. Give me a minute and I'll see what I can find out. | 07:34 |
| RAX_bg | ActionParsnip: but how do i do it over ssh? | 07:34 |
| ActionParsnip | RealEyes: there are lots of themes in the links ubottu gave, there's also the bisigi ppa with a few themes too | 07:34 |
| red2kic | RealEyes: shiki-brave-theme | 07:34 |
| RAX_bg | PythonPup: ty | 07:34 |
| Wiesshund | RAX_bg the load times etc in wow will be kind of crappy running the shared directory across the internet | 07:35 |
| PythonPup | RAX_bg, Evidently, it does nott work on Windows at present, but someone is working on it. http://www.geek.com/articles/news/ubuntu-one-cloud-storage-coming-to-windows-20100125/ | 07:35 |
| ActionParsnip | RAX_bg: the windows system will need putty and xming, xming must be running and putty to allow forwarded x apps. Openssh-server will need installing on the server side and port forwarding will be needed if you use a router | 07:35 |
| red2kic | What is the applet that allows me to add network up/down to Gnome Panel? | 07:35 |
| ActionParsnip | red2kic: nm-applet | 07:36 |
| ActionParsnip | ? | 07:36 |
| tik | hi | 07:36 |
| Wiesshund | red2kic the system notification widget does that | 07:36 |
| === tik is now known as TiK | ||
| RealEyes | where can i find that shiki brave theme? | 07:36 |
| red2kic | ActionParsnip: That's for Notification Area? | 07:36 |
| ActionParsnip | red2kic: indeed | 07:36 |
| ActionParsnip | red2kic: you can enable and disable interfaces as you need | 07:36 |
| PythonPup | RAX_bg, So, look at dropbox for now I guess. I don't trust them as much as Ubuntu One. You will have to evaluate them and see if you trust them. | 07:37 |
| xangua | RealEyes: in the repository | 07:37 |
| red2kic | ActionParsnip: An example --> http://tinyurl.com/24ckk3d | 07:37 |
| xangua | sudo apt-get install shiki-colors gnome-colors RealEyes | 07:37 |
| red2kic | Wiesshund: See what I mean? Traffic monitor. | 07:38 |
| Wiesshund | red2kic right click the bar theres one of those in the applets too | 07:38 |
| RealEyes | i feel like i've hit a wall with conky | 07:39 |
| RealEyes | <.<; | 07:39 |
| RAX_bg | PythonPup: ok ill check that | 07:39 |
| oops | wow | 07:39 |
| oops | chi | 07:39 |
| oops | oops | 07:39 |
| red2kic | Wiesshund: I don | 07:40 |
| Wiesshund | red2kic right click, add to panel , system monitor. set prefs network load | 07:40 |
| GarbageMobileDev | ActionParsnip Whats the best you think | 07:40 |
| red2kic | Wiesshund: I don't want charts. I want to see the numbers with my eyes. :o | 07:41 |
| === GarbageMobileDev is now known as mtm | ||
| mtm | Whats the best linux OS | 07:41 |
| mtm | besides Fedora | 07:41 |
| hermanlf | Anyone know how I can install the beam up animation plugin for compiz? | 07:41 |
| mtm | :) | 07:41 |
| PythonPup | mtm, the one that serves your needs. | 07:41 |
| red2kic | mtm: You're in #ubuntu -- We'll say Ubuntu. ;O | 07:41 |
| kvio04 | Ubuntu is not letting me create new partitions in gparted. The error is "/dev/sdc1 is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here!" however, dev/sdc1 does not exist | 07:41 |
| mtm | LOL | 07:42 |
| kvio04 | Any way around it? | 07:42 |
| Gnea | kvio04: use a livecd | 07:42 |
| kvio04 | Gnea: this /is/ a livecd :/ | 07:42 |
| mtm | Okay, my needs are iphone and web design | 07:42 |
| xangua | hermanlf: just activate 'animations add-on' in compizconfig seting maanger | 07:42 |
| Gnea | kvio04: so what is /dev/sdc1 being used by? | 07:42 |
| PythonPup | kvio04, what do you get from sudo fdisk /sdc | 07:42 |
| hermanlf | xangua: I have, but that animation doesn't seem to be there. Let me double check. | 07:43 |
| PythonPup | kvio04, oops, make that what do you get from sudo fdisk /dev/sdc | 07:43 |
| xangua | animation¿ | 07:43 |
| Gnea | sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdc perhaps? | 07:43 |
| kvio04 | No devices are listed | 07:43 |
| PythonPup | Gnea, even better. I usually run it and then do a p. | 07:43 |
| kvio04 | No partitions, rather | 07:44 |
| kvio04 | I see the columns but they're empty | 07:44 |
| hermanlf | xangua, well hell, there it is lol. Now even more animations have shown up. I could have sworn I only had a few just a minute ago. | 07:44 |
| PythonPup | Then gparted can't make a partition, because the system does not see the drive, kvio04 | 07:44 |
| Gnea | kvio04: well something isn't right | 07:44 |
| RAX_bg | PythonPup: i looked for dropbox but wont it make a folder on botth machines which folder will sync automatically and always have the same contents | 07:44 |
| kvio04 | The system does see it. The drive is listed, just no partitions | 07:44 |
| kvio04 | I'll pastebin it | 07:44 |
| greezmunkey | *Q* is there an _accurate_ system monitor out there that doesn't scew results by virtue of its own overhead? | 07:44 |
| Gnea | probably an illusionary process | 07:45 |
| Wiesshund | red2kic apt://netmon-applet | 07:45 |
| `blackmk4`linux | is there a command to write the current mounting setup to fstab | 07:45 |
| PythonPup | RAX_bg, That is in fact the only thing it does. | 07:45 |
| red2kic | !info netspeed | Wiesshund Actio | 07:45 |
| ubottu | Wiesshund: netspeed (source: netspeed): Traffic monitor applet for GNOME. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.15.2-1 (lucid), package size 348 kB, installed size 1344 kB | 07:45 |
| Gnea | `blackmk4`linux: not in one fell swoop, no. it has to be done by hand. | 07:45 |
| RAX_bg | PythonPup: yes but this will cost me alot of disk space which the so called client machine doesnt have | 07:45 |
| `blackmk4`linux | christ. | 07:45 |
| `blackmk4`linux | i have 60 drives mounted | 07:46 |
| Gnea | `blackmk4`linux: the way it should be done, to avoid problems. | 07:46 |
| `blackmk4`linux | this will take forever | 07:46 |
| red2kic | Wiesshund: This was it. :O | 07:46 |
| kvio04 | PythonPup, Gnea: http://pastebin.com/xS6jgSB8 | 07:46 |
| Wiesshund | red2kic that one works too, other one is just s simple text in out | 07:46 |
| Gnea | `blackmk4`linux: you could possibly script it | 07:46 |
| RealEyes | I feel bored with ubuntu, any suggetions? | 07:46 |
| el_seano | Go with arch! | 07:46 |
| PythonPup | RAX_bg, That part is right. I did not know you had the disk limit problem. I might look at sshd then. I have not set one up yet, but it should do what you want. | 07:46 |
| `blackmk4`linux | if you are bored with ubuntu | 07:46 |
| el_seano | that's what I'm planning, anyway. | 07:46 |
| `blackmk4`linux | i hope you are making money doing it | 07:47 |
| el_seano | :( | 07:47 |
| `blackmk4`linux | because you know more than anyone else | 07:47 |
| kvio04 | PythonPup, Gnea: Both drives are listed there -- just no partitions under sdc | 07:47 |
| Gnea | `blackmk4`linux: what's that supposed to mean? | 07:47 |
| kvio04 | PythonPup, Gnea: I tried rewriting the MFT again from scratch, which also seems to make no difference | 07:47 |
| PythonPup | kvio04, OK, you just don't have a partition table. | 07:47 |
| `blackmk4`linux | what that means | 07:47 |
| `blackmk4`linux | is that if he is bored he isn't learning anything | 07:47 |
| Gnea | kvio04: that shows that /dev/sdc is a 320G disk that hasn't been used yet | 07:48 |
| greezmunkey | RealEyes: pick a project, then see it through - like learning bash scripting. That'll keep you thinking. | 07:48 |
| `blackmk4`linux | if he's not learning anything then either he isn't trying new things or he knows everything | 07:48 |
| PythonPup | kvio04, try sudo fdisk /dev/sdc | 07:48 |
| kvio04 | PythonPup: I've recreated the MFT five or six times trying to recover this thing | 07:48 |
| Gnea | RealEyes: tried any other distros? | 07:48 |
| kvio04 | Gnea: The drive was being used, it had four partitions until today | 07:48 |
| RealEyes | I'm trying to learn bash but I don't know where to tart. | 07:48 |
| RealEyes | start* lol | 07:48 |
| kvio04 | Gnea: rewrote the MFT for other purposes | 07:48 |
| PythonPup | kvio04, Are you trying to recover data on a drive that had some problem? | 07:48 |
| kvio04 | PythonPup: This is a different drive from that one | 07:48 |
| RealEyes | It looks like art to me, the bash shell. | 07:48 |
| Gnea | kvio04: what's the MFT? | 07:48 |
| `blackmk4`linux | bash as in scripting? | 07:48 |
| kvio04 | PythonPup: Same computer, different drive | 07:48 |
| RealEyes | I haven't tried other distros. | 07:49 |
| Gnea | RealEyes: try 'hello world' | 07:49 |
| RealEyes | I'd like to get conky working and -- whats hello world? | 07:49 |
| `blackmk4`linux | i suggest you write a motd that gathers some info from the system every time you ssh in | 07:49 |
| kvio04 | Gnea: there were 4 partitions on here and a Ubuntu install failed, so we rebooted the machine from livecd and tried to create a new master file partition from gparted | 07:49 |
| Gnea | RealEyes: that's your problem. I suggest debian and slackware. | 07:49 |

| kvio04 | Gnea: now it's like this on two different computers | 07:49 |
| RealEyes | Gnea, just curious why you're suggesting that? | 07:49 |
| Gnea | RealEyes: "hello world" is the most basic program in any programming language in the world. | 07:50 |
| `blackmk4`linux | they require more messing around to get up and running | 07:50 |
| Gnea | RealEyes: it's designed to print "hello world" to the screen and exit | 07:50 |
| Gnea | RealEyes: because you asked. | 07:50 |
| kvio04 | PythonPup: http://pastebin.com/SSntbqs7 | 07:50 |
| PythonPup | kvio04, Run sudo fdisk/dev/sdc and choose option o to write a new partition table. Depending on what it says, you may have to reboot as the next step. | 07:50 |
| Gnea | RealEyes: there's nothing wrong with suggesting it. | 07:50 |

| xangua | Gnea: please stop | 07:51 |
| kvio04 | PythonPup: ok, one moment | 07:51 |
| `blackmk4`linux | what is good about slackware, in particular, is that you aren't all given a happy fun time into linux | 07:51 |

| PythonPup | I wish there were something open that worked half as well as spinrite. Beter would even be better, but it would be nice to have something basic. | 08:00 |
| ArghArgh200 | Hey, I seem to have removed some categories from the Main Menu on the Desktop. How would I go about getting these back? | 08:00 |

| kvio05 | PythonPup: sorry, I disconnected. two things did come to mind though | 08:03 |
| MACscr | anyone running colorzilla for firefox with their 64bit ubuntu system? Its driving me nuts that i cant get that plugin to work and i normally use it on a daily basis | 08:03 |
| kvio05 | PythonPup: the specific partition it says is in use (/dev/sdc1) was a 500mb /boot partition before failure. also, the drive is USB. would either of those factors play a role? | 08:03 |
| PythonPup | kvio05, I don't see how. | 08:04 |
| kvio05 | PythonPup: not possible that the livecd automatically is doing something with /boot on startup? | 08:04 |
| meral_k | hi all! | 08:05 |
| PythonPup | The live CD does not alter your hard drives automatically. That would be a real big nono. | 08:05 |
| kvio05 | PythonPup: if it were something simply just wrong with the drive itself..it seems odd to me that gparted would specifically identify /dev/sdc1 as the problem (even when there is no 1) | 08:05 |
| Wiesshund | kvio05 can you plug the drive in after boot? | 08:05 |
| LUCHO_2385 | hellooooooooo :D | 08:05 |
| kvio05 | Wiesshund: very good idea, i'll try that right now (or actually someone else will, i'm doing this all via teamviewer) | 08:05 |
| PythonPup | kvio05, did you reboot? | 08:06 |
| meral_k | i see new updates now "linux 2.6.32-24". but i already use this version of linux. so what should i do now ? can we check which version of linux i use from terminal ? | 08:06 |
| kvio05 | PythonPup: was waiting on a response from the person physically there | 08:06 |
| Wiesshund | kvio05 i mean if you think the livecd is trying to do something with /boot on it. im thinking not but no harm in checking | 08:06 |
| kvio05 | PythonPup: will respond with result shortly | 08:06 |
| razz11 | i installed freenx and I see x11vnc server under applications > internet, is that normal? and I already have a custom ssh keys setup between the server and the client. which I use regularly to connect to the server. I guess I will not need one more. can someone point me in the right direction as to how to set up freenx | 08:06 |
| PythonPup | meral_k, uname -a will show your current kernel. It must be a minor update. | 08:07 |
| rww | meral_k: PythonPup's right, it is. It's a security update that came out today. | 08:07 |
| meral_k | rww: PythonPup: ok thanks! | 08:07 |
| Wiesshund | razz11 its normal to see x11vnc server there, cant answer the other | 08:08 |
| RAX_bg | PythonPup: sry smth happened with my internet | 08:08 |
| PythonPup | razz11, I have not used it recently, so I better let someone else help. I use VNC all the time. Freenx is preferred for remote control of remote systems, but I don't do that. | 08:09 |
| RAX_bg | PythonPup: anything found on my problem? I looked for sshd but it doesn't seem to be the kind of software i need | 08:09 |
| razz11 | Wiesshund: thnx, | 08:09 |
| razz11 | PythonPup: I use vnc, it's inefficient, and sluggish. even with compression | 08:09 |
| Wiesshund | razz11 x11vnc is the only one i found that would work with compiz and desktop effect | 08:10 |
| razz11 | PythonPup: what server do you run, vino? | 08:10 |
| PythonPup | RAX_bg, There are several options. Are these computer both at home or the same location? | 08:10 |
| razz11 | Wiesshund: so freenx uses x11vnc. am I right? | 08:10 |
| Wiesshund | razz11 i believe so | 08:10 |
| razz11 | k | 08:11 |
| PythonPup | razz1, I used the default one under System/Preferences/Remote Desktop. On xubuntu, I setup vino. | 08:11 |
| Wiesshund | PythonPup only downside of that one is if the server is running compiz and desktop effects enabled, the screen doesnt update. If you can get the user to disable that stuff it works but.. | 08:12 |
| PythonPup | razz11, freenx may fall back to vnc, but it's default protocol is much better. That is why it is preferred for remote systems. VNC control of a machine in a remote location can be painful. | 08:13 |
| LUCHO_2385 | how can I edit a .pub file in ubuntu? | 08:13 |
| RAX_bg | PythonPup: no they both are part of one network but every computer of this network has real IP so i cant make something like LAN sharing, but what i want is to be able to see a folder like i see it when its shared in LAN because i want to use its contents without having the files on the client machine. is this possible? | 08:13 |
| KB1JWQ | LUCHO_2385: file $file.pub | 08:13 |
| KB1JWQ | What's it say? | 08:13 |
| LUCHO_2385 | .pub is a publisher file | 08:13 |
| razz11 | PythonPup: it's vino, I find it very sluggish even without any desktop effects? vinagre was shockingly buggy, so moved to remmina, its very good | 08:13 |
| PythonPup | Wiesshund, Yes, I disable compiz on machines I want to control. Who needs it on a server, anyway? | 08:13 |
| KB1JWQ | OpenOffice perhaps. | 08:13 |
| ArghArgh200 | I still can't restore the main menu items to my desktop... | 08:14 |

| razz11 | PythonPup: trying to setup nx, let you know when I get it right, thnx | 08:18 |

| rww | dr0id: yes, you can have as many as you want | 08:22 |
| dr0id | rww: thanks , that's awesome :) | 08:22 |
| aruntomar | greezmunkey, there is no virtual interface, i guess, my isp doesn't support mlppp | 08:22 |
| greezmunkey | aruntomar: there is the proviso! Both ends, remember?! | 08:23 |
| aruntomar | greezmunkey, can i use linux bridging concept to achieve this ? | 08:23 |
| PythonPup | RAX_bg, So, on their side, they will just browse for a windows share. Let's say your machine is 123.234.56.78 and you call the shared area gamespace. There are several ways they can do it. I usually go to a command prompt and type net use k: //123.234.56.78/gamespace | 08:23 |
| rounder | alow | 08:24 |
| PythonPup | RAX_bg, or maybe they put the slashess the other way. | 08:24 |
| greezmunkey | aruntomar: if you are trying to increase bandwidth by cobbing two desperate internet connections together - don't waste your time. You will have no end of problems with it. | 08:24 |
| PythonPup | RAX_bg, On your side, you just install samba nad setup a share. | 08:24 |
| RAX_bg | PythonPup: its the other way in win. my way to connect from win host is go to run and type \\IP\foldername | 08:25 |
| RAX_bg | PythonPup: i shared it with right click->sharing options | 08:25 |
| aruntomar | greezmunkey, oh :( | 08:25 |
| greezmunkey | aruntomar: It's just the way it rolls. | 08:25 |
| RAX_bg | because when i tried to install samba it said its already the newest version | 08:25 |
| aruntomar | greezmunkey, i thought may be with some other networking concept i could achieve this | 08:26 |
| PythonPup | RAX_bg, OK, then do it that way. | 08:26 |
| RAX_bg | another question | 08:26 |
| RAX_bg | PythonPup: do i need to configure the router | 08:26 |
| balr0g | hey guys, can anyone help on solving update kernel issue? | 08:26 |
| RAX_bg | PythonPup: i mean what port is samba using | 08:26 |
| PythonPup | RAX_bg, Then, just edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and add your new share and you are set. | 08:26 |
| aruntomar | greezmunkey, basically the client saw this kind of setup somewhere, those guys are using different 3G usb devices, and combining the network bandwidth | 08:27 |
| PythonPup | RAX_bg, Router? Do both machines have public IP addresses. You said that earlier. | 08:27 |
| aruntomar | greezmunkey, now he wants us to combine 2 or more 3G usb devices for uploading purposes | 08:27 |
| RAX_bg | well the router im behind does and the client machine has its own public IP | 08:28 |
| greezmunkey | aruntomar: There are two concepts, aggrigation and load balancing - you want load balancing. | 08:29 |
| PythonPup | Samba is not the most secure thing. I don't suggest people expose it over the internet. I thought y'all were in the same building. | 08:29 |
| KB1JWQ | PythonPup: Could always VPN it, but that's still ugly. | 08:29 |
| PythonPup | KB1JWQ, That is better than exposing your samba server to the world. | 08:30 |
| aruntomar | greezmunkey, ok. let me reconfirm the steps with u for mlppp, let me know if i'm doing something wrong | 08:30 |
| KB1JWQ | Yeah, but it's still something of an ugly hack. | 08:30 |
| KB1JWQ | I'd rather use something else for sharing files across a WAN. | 08:30 |
| PythonPup | RAX_bg, If your router is good enough, you can set it to only allow the samba ports from his IP address. That would be pretty safe. | 08:31 |
| === [-slidinghorn-] is now known as slidinghorn | ||
| LUCHO_2385 | bye bye | 08:31 |
| RAX_bg | PythonPup: yes i can do that but what ports the samba uses | 08:32 |
| TiK | or iptables | 08:32 |

| RAX_bg | PythonPup: also as i want to run online game do i need to forward its ports too | 08:32 |
| greezmunkey | aruntomar: you won't be using mlppp to do load balancing - it will be an iptables, or squid excercise | 08:32 |
| === akos is now known as Guest72599 | ||
| PythonPup | RAX_bg, samba uses Port 135/TCP, Port 137/UDP, Port 138/UDP, Port 139/TCP, Port 445/TCP | 08:33 |

| PythonPup | RAX_bg, I see something about letting high ports outgoing through the firewall. Most firewalls do that anyway. I have not setup samba exposed to the internet. Someone else may comment on that. | 08:34 |
| th0r | giantpune: I think that is defined in the mimetypes, so you might try starting there. But I have never edited them so I am not sure | 08:35 |
| RAX_bg | PythonPup: ok ill play around with it ty very much | 08:35 |
| aruntomar | greezmunkey, the point is that if mlppp works then it's great, but it doesn't , then what are my options, like iptables or squid | 08:35 |
| PythonPup | RAX_bg, a bunch of stuff. I don't have my samba template here. | 08:35 |

| greezmunkey | aruntomar: when you asked if it was possible to "combine" two ppp links, I responded with "mlppp" - once you described your desired result I told you that mlppp is not the tool you need. You want to set up a load-balancing application with iptables. This is not a task for the faint of heart, but it does work. | 08:41 |
| SwedeMike | balr0g: try makig a kernel package instead, then you might get all initrd etc as well. | 08:41 |

| mikubuntu | this is some output from a command they had me run today, but i don't know if its useful or not | 08:48 |
| TiK | xangua: ok thanks | 08:49 |
| greezmunkey | aruntomar: no, I said the iproute script shortcuts are unreliable. I finally found a good article for you, check this for iptables: http://serverfault.com/questions/93678/load-balancing-nat-ing-multiple-isp-connections-on-linux | 08:49 |
| PythonPup | mikubuntu, It looks like you have no free space to put linux. You will need to add a new drive or wipe one of those or uses a live CD or use partition magic. | 08:50 |
| RealOpty | hi | 08:50 |
| TiK | xangua: i have no system / pref / energy | 08:50 |
| TiK | energy | 08:50 |
| RealOpty | what kind code is this lol? 0x102 | 08:50 |
| RealOpty | is that hex or what? | 08:50 |
| KB1JWQ | RealOpty: That's a hex code. Not a lol. | 08:50 |
| th0r | RealOpty: yes, that is hex | 08:51 |
| RealOpty | k | 08:51 |
| xangua | TiK: 'gestor de energía' here in spanish, i don't know how is it called in english | 08:51 |
| RealOpty | any one have a hex to asci link? | 08:51 |
| mikubuntu | PythonPup: i specified to wipe xp, and to use the whole disk for ubuntu, there shouldn't be any lack of space ?? | 08:51 |
| PythonPup | Tik - use a little imagination. Sustem /Preferences /Power Management. | 08:51 |
| PythonPup | mikubuntu, can you get in front of his system and still use IRC? | 08:52 |
| PythonPup | mikubuntu, Knowing the exact error would help. | 08:53 |
| mikubuntu | i'm home now, have to go back tomorrow nite. i can get on irc using the livecd as i ws today | 08:53 |
| PythonPup | mikubuntu, the 4 gb drive is probably a pen drive. Is that right? | 08:53 |
| greezmunkey | RealOpty: use the calculator, set it to "programming" then use the buttons at the top right to convert back and forth. | 08:54 |
| mikubuntu | guess the best bet will be to take my laptop over there tomorrow so i can check into the channel | 08:54 |
| TiK | PythonPup: thats the first place looke settings seem to be correct | 08:54 |
| mikubuntu | PythonPup: yes, its a lexar 4gb usb | 08:54 |
| TiK | looked* | 08:54 |
| mikubuntu | PythonPup: its the first boot usb i ever made, and it runs live just fine | 08:55 |
| PythonPup | mikubuntu, I have not made a USB boot. So, you are ahead of me there. | 08:55 |
| Aemaeth | is there a command like iwconfig for cell phones? | 08:55 |
| fishcooker | how access hidden share by pyneighboorhod | 08:55 |
| fishcooker | ? | 08:55 |
| mikubuntu | PythonPup: but can't get the install past the ext4 creation | 08:55 |
| PythonPup | mikubuntu, You probably picked the wrong option, but I am guessing. You want remove all partitions and create default layout. | 08:56 |
| mikubuntu | PythonPup: k, i check back in tomorrow when i'm in front of the machine again .. thanx! | 08:56 |
| PythonPup | mikubuntu, Now, I would do something else first. | 08:56 |
| mikubuntu | PythonPup: ok, whats that | 08:57 |
| PythonPup | mikubuntu, Is there data on either drive he wants to preserve? | 08:57 |
| mikubuntu | PythonPup: no data to preserve | 08:57 |
| balr0g | MaRk-I, it seems to be solved man... tks sudo update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.35 and sudo update-grub was the solution ... | 08:57 |
| MaRk-I | balr0g: nice | 08:57 |
| PythonPup | OK, then you are OK. This is probably one of those dynamic raid setups that Windows supports. mikubuntu, you need to erase the partitions on both drives. That may be related to your problem. | 08:58 |
| yondie | hye , i found out in LTS 10.04 my X won`t start if there is no monitor attached to it | 08:58 |
| yondie | hwo can i solve it? | 08:58 |
| PythonPup | yondie, connect a monitor? | 08:59 |
| PythonPup | yondie, that was a trick question, right? | 08:59 |
| mikubuntu | PythonPup: what TWO drives? does his machine have two drives? | 08:59 |
| Aemaeth | PythonPup, sometimes easier said than done, I had old soviet system, she was like landwhale, killed three men | 08:59 |
| yondie | nope | 08:59 |
| yondie | PythonPup: i want to start it headlessly | 08:59 |
| yondie | but i need the X | 08:59 |
| yondie | to run | 08:59 |
| mikubuntu | PythonPup: is that RAID thing something that's on his drive that's impeding the setup? | 09:00 |
| PythonPup | mikubuntu, yes. The fdisk -l shows two 80 gb drives. If you open it and don't see two hard drives let us know. | 09:00 |
| PythonPup | mikubuntu, maybe. | 09:00 |
| mikubuntu | PythonPup: so, should i run 'darik's boot and nuke' on it before i try the install again? | 09:01 |
| Walex | yondie: configure it with an explicit X file. It does not start because by default it autodetects the monitor and autoconfigs it. | 09:01 |
| PythonPup | mikubuntu, you could. The ubuntu installer should handle it, but wiping the drive could be a fallback position. | 09:02 |
| Antonio_ | aloha folks.. | 09:02 |
| PythonPup | yondie, Yes, that is what I was going to suggest. create a xorg.conf file | 09:02 |
| mikubuntu | PythonPup: ok, i see you tomorrow .. thanks, i has to get to sleep | 09:02 |
| Antonio_ | Is anyone familiar with a program that I can use to convert a dvd to an avi/mp4/etc...and allow me to select the individual chapters/scenes that I want? | 09:02 |

| Benkinooby | the ubuntu netbook remix is just having a different unser interface... or are there also differences "under the hood"? | 09:04 |

| PythonPup | Jigal, configure your screensaver. | 09:05 |
| Slart | Jigal: turn off the screensaver? | 09:05 |
| TiK | Jigal: power management | 09:05 |
| PythonPup | Jigal, System / Preferences / Screensaver | 09:06 |
| Benkinooby | PythonPup: i use a lenovo ideapad s12. don't think that there will be remarkable performance changes | 09:06 |
| PythonPup | 5 minutes is the default for screensaver, so it is probably that. | 09:06 |
| Jigal | PythonPup, Slart TiK thanks | 09:06 |
| === gaveen_ is now known as gaveen | ||
| PythonPup | Benkinooby, no remarkable changes. Now, on the arm version they are working on, there are more changes. That is because the arm has problems with some apps, like firefox. | 09:07 |
| === Krana is now known as Rapture1781 | ||
| PythonPup | TiK, I don't know where you are now. Are you trying to get a picture up? I don't really know your root problem. | 09:08 |
| PythonPup | Benkinooby, The main thing about the netbook remix is that it is designed to run one screen app at a time. You can get around it, but normally, apps come up full screen. That is nice for a netbook, usually. | 09:10 |
| kenwiliest | how do i see the root account in 10.04 | 09:10 |
| Black_Prince | !sudo | 09:10 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 09:10 |
| Benkinooby | PythonPup: ok, thank you. i prefer to have serveral apps on my screen... | 09:10 |
| TiK | PythonPup: still goes dim// no big deal | 09:11 |
| PythonPup | Benkinooby, that is why I setup some netbook users with the standard Ubuntu. Good luck. | 09:11 |
| massimo_ | concert by the sea | 09:11 |
| PythonPup | TiK, I don't understand. Are you saying the screen dims? That is probably a screensaver setting. | 09:12 |

| e-DIO-t | does anybody know why ErrorDocument 503 /some/html/page isn't working...even if when i try to load the "urlmappedinvhost.com" it gives me error 503? | 09:12 |
| PythonPup | TiK, under Power Management in the screensaver settings. | 09:12 |
| e-DIO-t | [ps: modify /error/HTTP_SERVICE....is not working anyway] | 09:13 |
| gio1983 | I'm working on a minimalistic ubuntu environment, where most of the tools available in a standard ubuntu installation are not available | 09:13 |
| gio1983 | I have the following problem | 09:13 |
| PythonPup | kenwiliest, As the bot said. By default, there is no root user on an Ubuntu system. It is safer that way. | 09:13 |
| TiK | PythonPup: what am I looking for again? :( | 09:13 |
| Walex | gio1983: have you had a look at ubuntu for netbooks? | 09:14 |
| gio1983 | the system automounts usb storage devices, and I would like to be able to read the idVendor and idProduct | 09:14 |
| MaRk-I | yondie: read post #605 and below plus next page might give you an idea http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9244160#post9244160 | 09:14 |
| gio1983 | @Walex it's an ad-hoc thing not developed by us :\ | 09:14 |
| kenwiliest | pythonpup, wow, i was too lazy to read that... thanks... reading hanbook right now... | 09:14 |
| gio1983 | my problem is this | 09:14 |
| PythonPup | TiK, Go to screensaver preferences and look under power management. I don't see the same options as you, because I am using a desktop machine. | 09:14 |
| gio1983 | I have /proc and /sys | 09:14 |
| kenwiliest | i could fo swore in 8.04 or 9 series you could set a pass for root?? | 09:15 |
| Slart | kenwiliest: setting a root password isn't supported in here | 09:15 |
| TiK | PythonPup: that was the first place I looked.. I give up | 09:15 |
| gio1983 | I can list the mounted devices using /proc/mounts | 09:15 |
| Slart | !root | kenwiliest | 09:15 |
| ubottu | kenwiliest: 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 | 09:15 |
| gio1983 | and, for example I can find out that /dev/sdb1 is a vfat partition | 09:15 |
| gio1983 | coming from an usbkey | 09:15 |
| TiK | I think i's a bug | 09:16 |
| PythonPup | kenwiliest, The way root is used on Ubuntu has been the same since the first Ubuntu release. You can setup a root account. On servers, this is fairly commonly done. | 09:16 |
| gio1983 | now, how can I find out idVendor and idProduct? | 09:16 |
| TiK | bc its switching from AC to battery power......... | 09:16 |
| gio1983 | knowing this? | 09:16 |
| llutz | gio1983: lsusb | 09:16 |
| gio1983 | but how can I make the binding /dev/sdb ---> Bus 002 Device 015: ID 0930:1400 Toshiba Corp. | 09:17 |
| PythonPup | TiK, is that your problem? That it is switching from AC to battery. | 09:17 |
| star3am | hallo guys, anyone can hep with php5-mcrypt module ? | 09:17 |
| Benkinooby | PythonPup: i was wondering about the difference between ubuntu minimal install and ubuntu alternate install. i read about both of them, but i don't get the difference. looks like the minimal cd has only the most crucial packages, so everything has to be download from web for installation. the alternate cd is like the normal installation cd, but it runs with text interface and gives more chices during installation. is that coorect? | 09:17 |
| gio1983 | lsusb does not tell which device file is associated to a certain device :\ | 09:17 |
| Tohuw | is there a way to make an fstab include just for a certain user? e.g. user joe logs on and mounts everything in /etc/fstab, user john logs on and mounts everything in /etc/fstab AND another fstab-like file. | 09:17 |
| gio1983 | does it? | 09:17 |
| llutz | gio1983: read "dmesg" output | 09:17 |
| Tohuw | Benkinooby: you are correct. The "extra choices" are related to setting up software RAIDs | 09:18 |
| PythonPup | Benkinooby, I think you have it. The alternate gives you a full system. It has more install options and is what I normally use. The minimal install is used for servers and virtual machines, mostly. | 09:19 |
| gio1983 | @llutz dmesg does not tell this info, unfortunately | 09:19 |
| TiK | PythonPup: Ive looked in the options under power managemet.. and when I am on AC I want it to be bright and when I lose my lid I want it to remain bright. when I a nnot on AC I want to display tobe dimmed so I checked "Reduce Backlight Brightness" under on battery per. Now whneer I close my lid and wakeup my computer "on AC power" its dim | 09:19 |
| Benkinooby | Tohuw: ok thank you. | 09:19 |
| TiK | lose/close | 09:19 |
| PythonPup | Benkinooby, the important option for me on the alternate installer is the ability to setup encrypted disks. | 09:19 |
| Slart | Tohuw: I think fstab is parsed when the machine boots.. not when a user logs in.. so no.. I doubt you'll be able to work with the fstab that way | 09:19 |
| TiK | seems lik a big to me pythonpup | 09:20 |
| TiK | bug | 09:20 |
| llutz | gio1983: here it does | 09:20 |
| Benkinooby | PythonPup: so if a want ubuntu with flxbox (and no gnome; fluxbuntu seems to be dead) best is to use alternate cd | 09:20 |
| Slart | Tohuw: you could write a script that runs at login which mounts drives and such | 09:20 |
| llutz | gio1983: after plugin the stick in, dmesg logs lines like :[ 6494.035797] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] 15753215 512-byte logical blocks: (8.06 GB/7.51 GiB) | 09:21 |
| Tohuw | Slart: that's what I assumed... is there a way to make an fstab entry only mount for a certain user? I need to shake off the brain-dust in this area, but I seem to remember you can specify for each mount instruction who can actually access it. The issue is that I have a cifs share I want to mount, but only one user should be able to get to it (the share mounts in their home anyway) | 09:21 |
| TiK | PythonPup: anyway tanks for trying I am posting this as a bug | 09:21 |
| gio1983 | I get this for example | 09:21 |
| gio1983 | http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/AWMMNKES | 09:21 |
| MACscr | is there anything i can do to automatically keep my gnome ftp bookmark connections alive? Im constantly having to refresh the folder when i want ot open a file. Most of hte time i have to do it a couple times | 09:21 |
| TiK | Tohuw: make a script and allow them to mount with sudo | 09:22 |
| rgnr | bgj | 09:22 |
| TiK | idk... | 09:22 |
| llutz | gio1983: it only gives raw-device (sdc) in your case | 09:22 |
| Slart | Tohuw: I think your best option is to set permissions on the mounted drive so that only the specified user can access it.. ie it will still be mounted but only some user(s) will be able to read the files | 09:22 |
| TiK | thats what I'd do | 09:22 |
| sylon | hi my phone shows up as 2 mass storage drives on windows (phone internal memory and microSD card) but on linux it only shows one (the internal memory), any ideas whats up? | 09:22 |
| TiK | Slart: yeah good idea | 09:22 |
| ElBano | help! | 09:23 |
| PythonPup | Benkinooby, The alternate CD will install gnome. The kubuntu alternate CD will install KDE. You would want the server CD, probably. Then there is a package called fluxbox. I have not tried it lately. The lubuntu setup is what I use for a light desktop. | 09:23 |

| randhol | Hi. I have setup to autoimport photos from camera, that works great. However, I get asked if I want to import from SD card every time I turn on the printer-scanner as it has a SD card inside. Is there a way to remove this question? I only want to import fram cameras automatically | 09:23 |
| gio1983 | @llutz uhm that tells me the device [sdc] but it does not tell the usb bus thing where I can find idVendor etc.. | 09:23 |
| Jordan_U | gio1983: "lsusb" or "ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/" | 09:24 |
| Tohuw | Slart: over the course of our conversation, I've realized I'm worrying about a non-issue: it doesn't matter who logs in, this share is only accessible by this user (hence the stored credentials file) and the share point is only accessible by them. It doesn't matter that it mounts for everyone; they still can't get to it. File this in /mountains-out-of-molehills | 09:24 |
| PythonPup | TiK, sorry I could not do more. I need a laptop handy, I guess. I have one, but it has no battery, so it really acts like a desktop. | 09:24 |
| === WhiteKIBA is now known as [WhiteKIBA] | ||
| llutz | gio1983: there is no "one command" to show you all that info. you have to look at several places if you need it | 09:25 |
| Benkinooby | PythonPup: lubuntu... i'll have a look at it, thx for the hint. instead of using server, maybe the minimal install would be better, due to the fact that only the packages i explicitly choose are installed | 09:25 |
| gio1983 | @Jordan_U I can't use lsusb but the other suggestion might be interesting | 09:25 |
| gio1983 | @llutz I know unforttunately | 09:25 |
| gio1983 | in a previous project I was using gudev | 09:25 |
| gio1983 | but here I can't use it :\ | 09:26 |
| gio1983 | it's Android :P | 09:26 |
| Tohuw | Benkinooby: if you're aiming for a very lean system, and understand just what you want, the minimal install is perfect, I've found | 09:26 |
| ph8 | hey all, anyone know how i can fix a corrupted MBR on an NTFS Drive from ubuntu? | 09:26 |
| llutz | gio1983: write an udev-rule to assign a fixed device to your usb-id | 09:26 |
| PythonPup | Benkinooby, the minimal install would be fine. Just expect that you will be adding a lot of basic stuff. That is a decent way to start.\ | 09:26 |
| frogzoo | I get a protracted beep on shutdown at the message "unmounting temporary file systems" - didn't use to do this - any clues to fix it? | 09:26 |
| Tohuw | ph8, the best way to fix it is with the FIXMBR command on any WINNT or higher install CD. Other ways are not as "safe". | 09:27 |
| ph8 | can i make fixmbr available in a normal install rather than only in the 'recovery console'? | 09:28 |
| Benkinooby | Tohuw, PythonPup : thank you. thought the alternate cd would also give me choice about the packages to be "initally" installed. | 09:28 |
| PythonPup | frogzoo, Did you add some samba mounts recently. I know it takes longer to shutdown, if I don't unmount my samba share. I don't remember a beep. though. | 09:28 |
| PythonPup | Benkinooby, nope. No package install options. | 09:29 |
| frogzoo | PythonPup: no it's a different issue to yours - the beep is really loud & intrusive - I figure it as an alarm of some sort | 09:29 |
| Tohuw | Benkinooby: PythonPup: It's a shame though, because ubuntu-server does give you those options; the alt cd really should too | 09:29 |
| Benkinooby | Tohuw, +1 ;) | 09:30 |
| MaRk-I | gio1983: lshw ?? | 09:30 |
| Tohuw | frogzoo: it may be completely unrelated to unmounting the shares. have you tried fsck'ing, checking temperatures of CPU/hardware, checking fan states, etc.? | 09:30 |
| Tohuw | s/shares/drives | 09:31 |
| PythonPup | Tohuw, The alternate installer just uses the standard debian installer. I like it the way it is, but if you want a change, you would need to convince debian, not ubuntu. | 09:31 |
| Tohuw | frogzoo: a memtest may also be in order. PythonPup: thank you for that information; I didn't know that. | 09:31 |
| PythonPup | The alternate installer disk has memtest. Or, it did the last time I looked. | 09:32 |
| * Tohuw acknowledges that "ubuntu" is an African word for "I can't configure Debian" | 09:32 | |
| frogzoo | Tohuw: I guess a fsck may well be in order, tks | 09:32 |
| Jordan_U | gio1983: This is really the wrong channel :) | 09:32 |
| Tohuw | PythonPup: It's on the Live CD as well | 09:32 |
| PythonPup | memtest is small. I am glad they include it. | 09:33 |
| gio1983 | @Jordan_U I know, but since android is basically linux with some minor change | 09:33 |
| jihad | Has anyone been able to use itunes and mount an itouch or iphone? | 09:33 |
| frogzoo | debian has no one to blame but themselves for ubuntu stealing their thunder | 09:33 |
| gio1983 | I was trying to understand if some one had a similar issue | 09:33 |
| gio1983 | in linux | 09:33 |
| gio1983 | since in android it is more difficult to find answers | 09:33 |
| Jordan_U | gio1983: No, android is an operating system that happens to use the linux kernel :) | 09:33 |
| Tohuw | gio1983: this is not an Android support channel. Android has many major differences from Ubuntu. You would be best off pursuing an Android-specific support channel. | 09:34 |

| spencer | Hello, I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a good Antivirus for Ubuntu | 09:48 |
| decomp | hello all! | 09:49 |
| spencer | and how susceptible[?] the OS is to viruses | 09:49 |
| jussi | !virus | spencer | 09:49 |
| ubottu | spencer: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 09:49 |
| jetienne | q. is there a way to automatically install all the dependancies of a .deb (not in a repository) | 09:49 |
| mtm | hi jussi | 09:49 |
| jussi | hi mtm | 09:50 |
| mtm | guess what. i know what i did wrong | 09:50 |
| jussi | :) | 09:50 |
| decomp | Hi all, I changed me display manager to wdm and then back to gdm and now no display manager starts at all. I tried dpkg reconfigure-gdm, and opening synaptic and reinstalling gdm. no change. Can anyone please help? | 09:50 |
| mtm | its 1.0.2 now | 09:50 |
| spencer | okay, and is there any risk of a virus caught on Linux, to spread to Windows? | 09:50 |
| mtm | i installed 1.0.1 and i insralled in seperate files | 09:51 |
| Tohuw | spencer: the whole point is you won't "catch" a virus on Linux, unless you do something silly, like run an unknown executable as root | 09:51 |
| mtm | and the all that time for something stupid | 09:51 |
| spencer | I can't get viruses from the internet? | 09:52 |
| PythonPup | spencer, look at clamav. If you use it, be sure to install freshclams to get updated signatures. | 09:52 |
| mtm | .. | 09:52 |
| === WhiteKIBA is now known as [WhiteKIBA] | ||
| PythonPup | spencer, Linux can get viruses. But, it is much less likely than a Windows system. Windows practically encourages them. | 09:52 |
| spencer | Pythonpup, so true. | 09:53 |
| decomp | Hi all, I changed me display manager to wdm and then back to gdm and now no display manager starts at all. I tried dpkg reconfigure-gdm, and opening synaptic and reinstalling gdm. no change. Can anyone please help? | 09:53 |
| === [WhiteKIBA] is now known as WhiteKIBA | ||
| spencer | Alright thanks all, I'm out. Night | 09:54 |
| NightKhaos | PythonPup: *sigh* Same old agruement. The security model in Vista and above does not "encourage" users, in fact it's the best it's ever been. The majority of virues on Windows are now PEBKAC type errors, i.e. phishing and trojans. | 09:54 |
| NightKhaos | Anyways: | 09:54 |
| kenwiliest | decomp, you probably have to edit/add a line to a file like rc.conf or some shit | 09:54 |
| NightKhaos | Is it possible to do a multiple alais... i.e. I want to alais all binaries start with arm-none-eabi to arm-elf. | 09:55 |
| kenwiliest | decomp, i suggest you direct your attention to something like... the ubuntu documentation emphasizing that topic | 09:55 |
| PythonPup | spencer, I just removed rootkits that had been installed on 30 Linux systems. So, Linux can get them. I don't know how they got in. Someone else is doing the backtracking on that. | 09:55 |
| jetienne | q. i got a source package .dsc, _source.build, _source.change, and .targz, how can i recompile it ? | 09:56 |
| decomp | kenwiliest: The rc.conf file (/etc/rc.conf) is the core system configuration file used in Arch Linux. | 09:56 |
| mtm | So theres nothing suspicious about not having any trojans for over a year? | 09:56 |
| decomp | is that also used in ubuntu? | 09:56 |
| kenwiliest | decomp, yes.... | 09:56 |
| PythonPup | NightKhaos, I was being a little metaphorical. Saying Vista is the most secure Windows is not a very high standard. They still include IE, so they are not serious about security. | 09:56 |
| kenwiliest | also in freebsd too | 09:56 |
| kenwiliest | i think it's a universally vital file. | 09:56 |
| frenzied_coder | MaRk-I, thanks. works now. | 09:57 |
| NightKhaos | PythonPup: I'll grant you that, however IEs security model is improving. | 09:57 |
| kenwiliest | i've never even used arch linux | 09:57 |
| MaRk-I | frenzied_coder: yw | 09:57 |
| kenwiliest | what's arch linux's emphasis? | 09:57 |
| jasonwryan | kenwiliest: rc.conf in ubuntu? really? | 09:57 |
| decomp | anyone else having trouble logging into ubuntu forums? | 09:58 |
| PythonPup | kenwiliest, arch is for Linux users that want package management like BSD. That seems to be the dominant, but not only characteristic. | 09:58 |
| mtm | lol | 09:58 |
| === denny_ is now known as denny | ||
| NightKhaos | PythonPup: still got more holes in it than swish cheese, but IE8 can throw punches in terms of security with Firefox. However, there are other reasons (rendering) that mean I discourage the use of IE anyways. It could be the most perfectly secured, sandbooked browser out there, however if they don't fix their rendering engine... meh. | 09:58 |
| NightKhaos | PythonPup: however, Offtopic... aliases, any ideas? | 09:58 |
| kenwiliest | pythonpup, as in ports? | 09:58 |
| mtm | Opera #1 | 09:58 |
| jasonwryan | kenwiliest: as in pacman... | 09:59 |
| PythonPup | NightKhaos, I am sorry. I missed the first part about aliases. I am in favor of them, but that is not your problem, I bet. | 09:59 |
| KrisWood | Hello everyone | 10:00 |
| PythonPup | NightKhaos, So, could you repeat the original question? | 10:01 |
| NightKhaos | PythonPup: multiple alasies... I have two precompiled twochains on different machines, one of which I don't have admin access too so I can't update the toolchain. On one they are called arm-none-eabi-, however on the other they are called arm-elf-. I don't want to have to create a whole lot of symlinks in /usr/local/bin if I can avoid it, but I want to make sure that when I execute arm-elf-gcc it points to arm-none-eabi- | 10:02 |
| NightKhaos | gcc for example, that or do you know a way to make my makefiles contextual (i.e. it terms which gcc is valid and then uses that one) | 10:02 |
| PythonPup | kenwiliest, yes, as in ports. | 10:02 |
| kenwiliest | pythonpup, what are they called in arch? | 10:02 |
| NightKhaos | PythonPup: sed s/twochains/toolchains/ ... some typo. | 10:02 |
| jetienne | dpkg-source -x blabla.dsc was my answer :) | 10:02 |
| kenwiliest | pythonpup, the ports that is | 10:02 |
| KrisWood | I've got a silly question... I'm trying to download themes off the gnome-look and they're all in archives without any file extension to indicate what format they're in... Any ideas? | 10:03 |
| ogunay | hi, i use ubuntu lucid, i've some torrent files, and i could't change their ownership from root to user via #chown -hR <username:groupname> <torrentfile> | 10:03 |
| PythonPup | kenwiliest, That detail is too small for me to remember. It has been 6 months since I tries arch. I try a lot of Linux distros. | 10:03 |
| NightKhaos | ogunay: where you root (or at least sudoing) when you executed that chown? | 10:03 |
| erUSUL | ogunay: where are those torrent files stored ? | 10:03 |
| kenwiliest | pythonpup, which is your favorite? | 10:03 |
| jasonwryan | kenwiliest: ABS (Arch Build System) and they are called pkgbuilds | 10:04 |
| alsem | Does anyone have experience with Ubuntu file sharing on a wireless network? | 10:04 |
| kenwiliest | jasonwryan, thanks a lot. | 10:04 |
| ogunay | erUSUL: these are on /Torrents , i've changed the location to anohter partition /media/disk | 10:04 |
| jasonwryan | kenwiliest: np | 10:04 |
| jasonwryan | alsem what's up? | 10:04 |
| erUSUL | ogunay: what filesystem ? | 10:04 |
| ogunay | erUSUL: ext4 | 10:05 |
| PythonPup | kenwiliest, For most uses, I pick Ubuntu. It is what I use as my main desktop and once I make a few tweaks, it does quite well. | 10:05 |
| kenwiliest | PythonPup, IC. nice | 10:05 |
| erUSUL | ogunay: what error do you get from chown ? | 10:05 |
| ogunay | erUSUL: no error, i've checked the file, the same ownership (root) | 10:05 |
| KrisWood | ah ha, it's a gzip archive, just had to right click for properties :) | 10:06 |
| PythonPup | NightKhaos, The only thing I would suggest is to write a script to create the symlinks for you. Then, it is not much effort to keep it up to date. Have the script inspect the arm-none-eabi list to be sure it creates all the needed symlinks. | 10:06 |

| azlon1 | how can i enable vnc? | 10:08 |
| azlon1 | !vnc | 10:08 |

| Gnea | alsem: NFS is actually a unix component, SMB/CIFS is windows networking | 10:09 |
| PythonPup | NightKhaos, Something like that. I don't know your need or how the list changes to know if you need to remove the existing symlinks first. Are items likely to disappear from the list? | 10:10 |
| erUSUL | !checkinstall | 10:10 |
| ubottu | checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 10:10 |
| alsem | Jasonwryan: Let me go play with that page and see if I can get anywhere. Thanks I'll let you know later how it worked out. | 10:10 |
| NightKhaos | PythonPup: fairly unlikely to change. I'll know if/when I upgrade the toolkit, so I can redo the links and delete the broken symlinks. | 10:10 |

| PythonPup | el_seano, true, but the security on Firefox is so much better, I would not use anything else as my main web browser. | 10:18 |
| el_seano | i will admit i like that FF's search bar instantly grabs your bookmarks though, rather than the quick search | 10:18 |
| __goo__ | bacon, i dont find that in chrome, it just does a google search | 10:18 |
| el_seano | PythonPup: Security in what regard, if I may ask? | 10:19 |
| alsem | jasonwryan: I have a windows box on the network BUT when I go to Places --> Network --> Windows I get an error message that it can't mount the server or get some file from it. So I thought I'd try something simple like a Ubuntu to Ubuntu machine. | 10:19 |
| justin22885 | apparently id need to disable journaling on ext4, add the noatime option to fstab, and use /tmp in RAM | 10:19 |
| bacon | __goo__: i don't know if it exist in FF, but with chrome you can search directly on the website you need with a tabulation after the site's url | 10:19 |
| PythonPup | el_seano, Chrome has nothing like noscript. Chrome does not have the hooks it needs. Browsing the web without something like noscript is just crazy. | 10:20 |

| alsem | PythonPup: I think I pasted to large a file in here and got disconnected for a while. Did you get the file? | 10:29 |
| PythonPup | nebula_, but I use vlc and a player I am writing the most. | 10:29 |
| GDG | hi, | 10:29 |
| PythonPup | alsem, use a pastebin. Go to pastebin.com and post your contents. Then put a link here in irc.. | 10:29 |
| PythonPup | alsem, no I did not get it. | 10:29 |
| shai | Gnea, not a server per say ... just a station that I use via SSH. erUSUL I understand that I can edit /etc/network/interfaces... but currently, where is eth0 defined for the pc to be available via eth0 using DHCP? It must be written somewhere in a file, no? | 10:30 |
| alsem | PythonPup: where is pastebin.com? Is it obvious how to put a link in the irc? | 10:31 |
| GDG | how can I install an older version of gcc on my Ubuntu? | 10:31 |
| PythonPup | Use you web browser and look. It is really obvious, alsem. | 10:31 |
| erUSUL | shai: no; Network manager uses gconf so maybe it is in afile somewhere but you have to use gconftool-2 or gconf-editor | 10:31 |
| KrisWood | This is getting incredibly frustrating.... | 10:32 |

| justin22885 | annoying.. anyway, anyone know how to disable journaling? | 10:33 |
| mamooth | I'm running ubuntu 10.04 - With thunderbird, could someone point how to create an IMAP account. I really don't see where in the account configuration process I can select IMAP instead of POP3 | 10:34 |
| llutz | justin22885: isn't it "noload" boot-option? | 10:34 |
| GDG | how can I install an older version of gcc on my Ubuntu 10.4? | 10:34 |
| el_seano | Can anyone recommend me some good documentation or a tutorial regarding devices and how to mount them and get information and so on? | 10:34 |
| llutz | mount-option* | 10:34 |
| justin22885 | i dont know | 10:34 |
| justin22885 | ive never disabled journaling before | 10:35 |
| erUSUL | the_fool: this « length=34 ; a=$(( $RANDOM % ($length + 1) )) ; echo $a » works here | 10:35 |
| PythonPup | justin22885, did you go to http://lmgtfy.com/ and put in disable journaling ext4 | 10:35 |
| alsem | PythonPup: I pasted in the message box. the URL is http://pastebin.com/56d8D8Xd | 10:35 |
| Gothack | does anybody know how to install openoffice? | 10:36 |
| the_fool | erUSUL, I'll try that. MInd if i keep pestering you though? Because I'll need the script to get the number for length on the fly | 10:36 |
| erUSUL | the_fool: #bash may be a better place to ask | 10:37 |
| justin22885 | i have to use tune2fs to do it i believe | 10:37 |
| the_fool | erUSUL, ... ^_^" that's a good idea | 10:37 |
| PythonPup | alsem, are you going to be online a while? | 10:37 |

| ubottu | For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 10:47 |
| PythonPup | azlon1, probably. Look at gconf and see if there is a key to control it. You can script changing those. | 10:47 |

| ShapeShifter499 | xD | 10:47 |

| PythonPup | NightKhaos, That is a handy skill. | 10:47 |
| zhang | my English is very poor | 10:48 |

| justin22885 | first step is to load a liveCD, "tune2fs -o journal_data_writeback /dev/sdx1", then under fstab i used "/dev/sdx1 / ext4 noatime,nodiratime,data=writeback,nobh 0 0" | 11:51 |

| llvllonk | hrm....i can't even find the device in Devices-Control Center.. | 12:27 |
| ChrisMorgan | After upgrading to 10.04, I discovered the Sun Java plug-in had been replaced with IcedTea, and now I've got to the stage where I really need to switch back, as certain applets just aren't working in IcedTea. I've ticked the "partner" repository, but I'm being told that "Sorry, 'Sun Java 6.0 Plug-in' is not availabel for this type of computer (amd64)." Any ideas? | 12:28 |
| bibo | ChrisMorgan: Try downloading the deb from somewhere else | 12:28 |
| ChrisMorgan | Such as? | 12:28 |
| glxark | bibo how may I open network management? | 12:29 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| erUSUL | llvllonk: if it does no appear in ther then you have to use b43 driver. if you are connected to internet via wired in the machine just do « sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter » | 12:29 |
| === Deko is now known as _Deko_ | ||
| llvllonk | thanks erUSUL....I'll try that now | 12:29 |
| erUSUL | llvllonk: if the installation finish without issues reboot the machine | 12:30 |
| jrib | ChrisMorgan: you must not have partner enabled, sun-java6-plugin is certainly in partner for amd64 | 12:30 |
| bibo | glxark click on the icon in the top right that either looks like network bars or a radar or something (top right, top panel) and there's your network management | 12:30 |
| ChrisMorgan | jrib: the entry I enabled shows in Software Sources as "archive.canonical.com/ubuntu karmic partner". | 12:30 |
| welinux | ChrisMorgan: I have installed java from ofsite I now I have the freshest java upgrade 21 | 12:30 |
| jrib | ChrisMorgan: erm, why karmic if you are on lucid? | 12:30 |
| ChrisMorgan | Hmm, good point. Wonder why it's like that. | 12:30 |
| ChrisMorgan | So that wasn't upgraded. Thanks for spotting that for me :D | 12:31 |
| ChrisMorgan | That's the problem with calling it "karmic" and "lucid" rather than "9.10" and "10.04". If it had been the numbers I would have spotted it but with the names I didn't look quite closely enough to recognise that. | 12:32 |
| welinux | ChrisMorgan: http://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en&host=java.com | 12:33 |
| bibo | ChrisMorgan: yeah the animal names are annoying | 12:33 |
| jrib | karmic and lucid aren't animals :P | 12:33 |
| ChrisMorgan | I still reckon an April Fools Day joke should have been made about changing the default browser in lucid LYNX. | 12:33 |
| ChrisMorgan | You could make a brilliant article about it... speed benefits, increased security, greater accessibility... | 12:34 |
| bibo | jrib lol whatever | 12:34 |
| ChrisMorgan | ... sun-java6-plugin requires the package firefox :-( | 12:34 |
| ChrisMorgan | But I don't want that! I've got firefox-4.0! | 12:34 |
| bibo | ChrisMorgan: There was already a bunch of complaining about the buttons moved to the left, that would just make people cry :D | 12:35 |
| ChrisMorgan | And I *really* don't understand why they call it "Light"... when it's dark. | 12:35 |
| welinux | ChrisMorgan: I have mozilla nightly builds of firefox 4 and common firefox 3.6 together | 12:35 |
| ChrisMorgan | welinux: but I don't *want* firefox 3.6. | 12:35 |
| bibo | ChrisMorgan: I've tried some of those old school programs that apparently make you so efficient...after you learn them in a year | 12:36 |
| welinux | ChrisMorgan: you have remooved it already? | 12:36 |
| bibo | ChrisMorgan: I only use emacs because it has games on it | 12:36 |
| ChrisMorgan | For myself I've stayed with a nice green tinted Human-Clearlooks - Human as it was in 8.10 (and still in 9.04?). Didn't like Human of 9.10, don't like Light of 10.04, in my opinion Ubuntu is getting worse with its themes. | 12:37 |
| ChrisMorgan | welinux: yep, I removed the firefox package some weeks ago. | 12:37 |
| welinux | I'm using bisigi themes | 12:37 |
| JoshuaL | I am using Radiance, I like it :) | 12:37 |
| bibo | ChrisMorgan: Yeah I saw the new lucid wallpaper, and I changed in seconds. Their themes suck, at least you can change everything about it. | 12:38 |
| gezegenci | Hi every one when release new version of ubuntu netbook edition | 12:38 |
| JoshuaL | !release | 12:38 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases | 12:38 |
| bibo | welinux: hehe same here, I use a combo of Aquadreams for my titlebars, and Airlines for my controls | 12:38 |
| ChrisMorgan | Is there any way to get around a package dependency? I want to avoid getting firefox and firefox-branding if I can, I don't need them. | 12:38 |
| welinux | ChrisMorgan: after installing java by instructions from the site you will make a symlink to your Minefield 4.0b3pre folder | 12:39 |
| bibo | ChrisMorgan: there's an add on for firefox that let's you have multiple versions of it | 12:39 |
| ChrisMorgan | The point is I don't want to install the firefox package in the first place... | 12:40 |
| theholder | can anyone suggest a good program for clustering ubuntu server please? | 12:40 |
| welinux | bibo: I'm using gnome step into freedom | 12:40 |
| ChrisMorgan | And there's more mess, umlet depends on the OpenJDK JRE rather than any JRE... *sigh* | 12:40 |
| llvllonk | rebooting....both adapter not listed | 12:40 |
| bibo | Plan8 | 12:40 |
| bibo | *9 | 12:41 |
| theRealRon | can ony one suggest anything I can try to debug my ssh connection rest problem? http://pastebin.com/dE5PLs3e Shall I try a debian install? | 12:41 |
| bibo | welinux: I went with a silver theme, but now I just everything all colorful. Cairo dock, gnomenu, and Compiz really spice it up | 12:41 |
| welinux | ChrisMorgan: my firefox is in ".minefield version 4.0b3pre" folder in my home folder | 12:41 |
| ChrisMorgan | Seems like if I use apt-get I can get things to ignore their dependencies. | 12:42 |
| welinux | !aptitude | 12:42 |
| ubottu | aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide | 12:42 |
| theholder | use apt-get install -f | 12:42 |

| bibo | ChrisMorgan: I think that Ubuntu only gets the openjdk one | 12:48 |
| TiK | I compiled a version on my own but the webcam doesnt work | 12:48 |
| MaRk-I | I compiled from source | 12:49 |
| ChrisMorgan | bibo: the Sun one is in the partner repository, and that's what I'm trying to set up now... just for the sake of the browser plugin :-( | 12:49 |
| MaRk-I | TiK: your webcam works on cheese/other programs? | 12:49 |
| TiK | herm does your webcam work? | 12:49 |
| TiK | yes | 12:49 |

| ActionParsnip | Can somebody please tell me what package provides /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 thanks | 12:50 |
| MaRk-I | and from the PPA what's the error? | 12:50 |
| TiK | gyachi: Depends: gyachi-data (= 1.2.9-0.1~lucid1) but it is not installable | 12:50 |

| MaRk-I | glxark: from skype's website... and btw I'm using mirc for linux ;^) | 12:52 |
| glxark | MaRk-I, skype 2.1 has not web cammera | 12:52 |
| ChrisMorgan | welinux: I don't care about the updates, it's purely that the IcedTea plugin doesn't work for something I absolutely /need/ it for. So if I fail with getting the Sun JRE and plugin working, I'll need to use my Windows testing VM.... *shudder* | 12:52 |
| TiK | glxark: um skype works in linux with webcam support | 12:52 |
| glxark | MaRk-I, :) | 12:52 |
| ActionParsnip | welinux: you can always install using the .bin file but you will need to manually update it. Its a great way to get native 64bit java if your system is 64bit | 12:53 |
| MaRk-I | glxark: try version again you'll see | 12:53 |
| TiK | MaRk-I: do you still have to compile data? | 12:53 |
| TiK | maybe you can make a dep for me | 12:53 |
| TiK | deb | 12:53 |
| TiK | if you have time | 12:53 |
| glxark | tik I downloaded skype2.1 from Ubuntu software centre, but it does not have video call | 12:54 |
| welinux | ActionParsnip: a part of it -- I got the command "java -version" from that site but I was installing by the instructions directly from java.com | 12:54 |
| MaRk-I | TiK: hhmm no when you compile from source it's just one | 12:54 |
| TiK | or tar everything up and dcc it t me | 12:54 |
| TiK | glxark: add skypes PPA | 12:54 |
| glxark | TiK, ok :) | 12:54 |
| TiK | MaRk-I: owe | 12:54 |
| bibo | Tik: Couldn't you get Skype's deb or PPA or something? | 12:54 |
| ActionParsnip | welinux: thats where I get java from on my 64bit. I use that guide for 32bit | 12:54 |
| JoshuaL | How can I make the OpenOffice Quickstarter match the theme I am using? | 12:54 |
| MaRk-I | TiK: i'm not on ubuntu ATM... | 12:54 |

| JoshuaL | bibo, yes, it now shows some ugly colour behind it instead of the colour from the them itself. | 12:57 |
| welinux | ActionParsnip: I think you can give some good advices to ChrisMorgan to use .bin file | 12:57 |

| TiK | Butch1281: hmm | 13:18 |
| Diverdude | what would be a reason to recompile the kernel? | 13:18 |
| cached | i was hoping for osmething more lightweight than emacs, but i think that's what i'll end up using | 13:18 |
| ChrisMorgan | Don't know why the gvim package is "GVim" though - "gVim" is the correct form. | 13:18 |
| TiK | Butch1281: are you using VMware or VirtualBox? | 13:19 |
| Butch1281 | TiK: I can't SSH into the VM, but i can use vncviewer to get in | 13:19 |
| Butch1281 | TiK: KVM | 13:19 |
| TiK | never heard of it | 13:19 |
| Legendary_Bibo | cached, what are planning to do? You can use gedit, and get plugins for it. It becomes a very versatile text editor, and lightweight | 13:19 |
| TiK | you might want to check out VirtualBox by sun I recommend 3.1 | 13:19 |
| cached | Legendary_Bibo: was planning on editing files on a server through x tunneling | 13:19 |
| Butch1281 | TiK: It's the official linux VM, included directly in the kernel now | 13:20 |
| Butch1281 | TiK: I'll check out virtualbox though, thanks | 13:20 |
| Legendary_Bibo | cached, you can try to find a plugin with gedit, but emacs would probably be easier | 13:20 |
| Butch1281 | TiK: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM | 13:20 |

| cached | Legendary_Bibo: it's on a vps and i'd prefer not to use 200 megs for a text editor =) | 13:20 |

| imanc | Pici: I'm getting permission denied. I have set the pwd twice with usermod -p pass externaluser | 13:21 |
| Butch1281 | TiK: Well, no, there is full virtualization, paravirtualization.. etc | 13:21 |
| TiK | Butch1281: idunno.. I just know VirtualBox is the sh*t | 13:21 |
| MaRk-I | Butch1281: did you read "warning 2" on that page you posted? | 13:21 |
| Butch1281 | TiK: virtualization that runs in user-space, kernel-space, it can get confusing =) | 13:21 |
| Butch1281 | MaRk-I: warning 2? No, i dont see that on the page.. | 13:22 |
| cached | Legendary_Bibo: i guess opening it up remotely through a local gedit works | 13:22 |
| MaRk-I | Butch1281: Warning 2: Bridged networking does not work by default. Since the release of kernel 2.6.18 in Sep 2006 | 13:23 |

| Butch1281 | MaRk-I: Oh, I know. I configured bridged networking however, its just not turned on by default. | 13:23 |
| TiK | as I said I recommend VB | 13:23 |

| CkhiKuzad | I installed Half-Life today in wine, and now it is saying i need service pack 3 or above (which does not make sense, considering H-L was made for windows 95 originally) but wine apparently doesnt allow me to emulate SP3. is it possible to do so? | 14:13 |
| livindaylight | Aaron1: i'd like to know whether that works out | 14:14 |
| TiK | Aaron1: well if you ca boot off it it will work ;) | 14:14 |

| MaRk-I | Snandy: dvd players can read cd...? | 14:20 |
| Snandy | Yes, but that player is running the Live CD currently | 14:20 |
| kat_ | hello, i have windows vista and ubuntu in my computer, but ubuntu doesnot work, how can i recover my files? thanks | 14:20 |
| MaRk-I | Snandy: ah... you could try... you mean burn the .iso in a dvd? | 14:21 |
| kat_ | snandy what if you keep the files and then burn a cd? | 14:21 |
| bihari | kat_, try this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide may be it will help you a bit about you problem | 14:22 |
| Snandy | Well, I should state my goals, and maybe someone knows a better solution: I need to get to my RAID hard drives, so I was going to install an OS temporarily so I can get access to all my drives and prep for a permanent OS (either Ubuntu or Win7) Ubuntu Live CD won't recognize my raided or SATA hard drives. I could mayble also install to a USB stick and run it from there | 14:23 |
| AviMarcus | is there a way I can see/edit the current folder path in nautilus? | 14:23 |
| guntbert | Snandy: you could run the live system from an usb stick... | 14:23 |
| kat_ | bihari i read that and i dont know what to do | 14:23 |
| === xbb is now known as akravets | ||
| Snandy | guntbert: I might do that. I need to install raid drivers so I can see my other partitions and so I can clear off C and prep it for an OS | 14:24 |
| wildeja | Hi all, I am running amd64 desktop version of Ubuntu 10.04 on my netbook. I have been reading about netbook remix and was wondering if i could get the communities general feelings please. Thank you | 14:24 |
| bihari | kat_, ok wait | 14:24 |
| AviMarcus | wow. luckyBackup is so much faster than grsync. Unless it's playing me. | 14:24 |
| MaRk-I | AviMarcus: click the paper and pencil icon on top, it will show the path | 14:24 |
| guntbert | Snandy: wait a moment, I'm gonna try something (about your first question) | 14:25 |
| AviMarcus | that sounds familiar, but I don't see it now, MaRk-I . Might I have hidden it somehow? | 14:25 |
| MaRk-I | AviMarcus: it's right below the "back arrow" | 14:26 |
| agronholm | hi! could somebody explain to me how I can configure a static ip in ubuntu? | 14:27 |
| bihari | kat_ you have both vista and ubuntu? right? but ubuntu doesnot working | 14:27 |
| miso_h | hi all!!! | 14:27 |
| agronholm | the network manager does not seem to want to work with manual settings | 14:27 |
| rek | i,can i print something with a shared printer in a win pc ? | 14:27 |
| Pici | AviMarcus: ctrl-l should also work. | 14:27 |
| kat_ | bihari, that's it | 14:27 |
| MaRk-I | se_tools: you're gettin auto ignored stop PMing | 14:27 |
| wildeja | Is there any reason to change from ubuntu 10.04 40 netbook remix? | 14:27 |
| guntbert | Snandy: my idea didn't work - so create a stick from the live system, then boot from that... | 14:27 |
| wildeja | 40, sorry to | 14:28 |
| bihari | what error are you getting? when you start ubuntu? | 14:28 |
| AviMarcus | Pici, ctrl-L does work. thanks. But I remember that pencil, but I can't find it now. | 14:28 |
| gsal | hello, I'm trying to use xvnc, I can connect, but a screen comes with X sign with no gdm, I suspect that there is a limitation of gdm for peers connecting from outside of the network. I'm routing to the server right now | 14:28 |
| kat_ | bihari, it says something like: there's no wubildr | 14:28 |
| miso_h | i use 32 bit ubuntu. i will install winrar (latest version) with wine. but i am not sure if i have to install it as 32 or 64 bit. Because wine can install both of them. Which will work faster on me ? | 14:28 |
| ayekat | kat_: you could boot from the Ubuntu live CD and access the harddisk containing the data that should be recovered... | 14:28 |
| ayekat | ... then put them somewhere else | 14:28 |
| thune3 | wildeja: UNR has a desktop interface optimized for small screens. It is otherwise a normal 32-bit ubuntu. If you are having trouble navigating the desktop due to your screensize, then you might consider UNR | 14:29 |
| kat_ | ayekat, i tried to use the livecd, but i cannot find my files | 14:29 |
| se_tools | ok whats autoignore? how does that work????? | 14:29 |
| gsal | any idea ? | 14:29 |
| ayekat | kat_: what files are you actually trying to recover? | 14:29 |
| Snandy | Hmmm LIve CD so far is burning the DVD. I thought I'd attempt, at worst I have another coaster among many | 14:29 |
| AviMarcus | whatever, maybe it will reappear. Thanks Pici | 14:29 |
| kat_ | ayekat, text files, i had them kept in /usr | 14:29 |
| bihari | kat_, which version of ubuntu you have? | 14:30 |
| Oer | miso_h, why do you think 64 bit if your OS is 32 bit ? | 14:30 |
| ayekat | kat_, and now they aren't there anymore? | 14:30 |
| wildeja | thune3, Not having any problems with screen size. and am currently using 64bit desktop version so would you say i'm better off where i am then? | 14:30 |
| miso_h | Oer: i just asked ... i dont know. im thinking... | 14:31 |
| miso_h | Oer: maybe wine will work with it better... | 14:31 |
| kat_ | bihari, i had ubuntu 9.10, then i ¿actualized? to 10.04 | 14:31 |
| ayekat | Hi, how can I get the raw binary data from an ISO file? For example to make a floppy disk image? | 14:31 |
| bihari | kat_, try this https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/478717 | 14:31 |
| MaRk-I | kat_: post #4 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1515803 | 14:31 |
| thune3 | wildeja: if everything is running OK, i would not change anything. | 14:31 |
| kat_ | ayekat, no, they are not there | 14:31 |
| glxark | I do not see "Applictaion'' button on the top, how to see? | 14:31 |
| Oer | miso_h, on your 32 bit OS, only 32 bit application can be run. on any 64 bit OS, you can run 32 + 64 bit applications | 14:31 |
| bihari | glxark, ? huh you dont see ? | 14:32 |
| theRealRon | hello - sorry to be posting the same Q - I'm stumped ssh command line aborts with "connection reset by peer" Not the remote server - can connect from a different box, putty GUI on this box works. ssh debug: http://pastebin.com/dE5PLs3e | 14:32 |
| kat_ | bihari, mark-i, ayekat thanks, i'm goint to read that | 14:32 |
| glxark | bihari, there is not applictaion button on the top ) | 14:32 |
| wildeja | Second Question then. On this hard drive i also have the backup and windows 7 partitions that the machine came with. All i did when i got the machine was shrink them to make space for ubuntu. Is there any downside to keeping those partitions or should i be devoting the whole drive to Ubuntu? | 14:32 |
| miso_h | Oer: wine can open 64 bit windows softwares. but wine is something like emulator. | 14:33 |
| bihari | glxark, go to system<preference | 14:33 |
| miso_h | Oer: i can open 64 bit exe so . it is better to install them or not ? | 14:33 |
| Oer | miso_h, yes, wine can open 64 bit, if your OS is 64 bit. | 14:33 |
| theRealRon | (if it helps I also tried a basic Debian install and got same problem) | 14:33 |
| miso_h | Oer: hmm.... | 14:33 |
| bihari | glxark, go to system<preference<appearance | 14:33 |
| miso_h | Oer: sorry for that. i didn know it.. | 14:34 |
| Oer | miso_h, so you are bound to 32 bit winrar, why do you not use rar non-free from the repository's ? | 14:34 |
| distant2 | what package manager does ubuntu use? | 14:34 |
| miso_h | Oer: there is no a good software on linux with gui :( for compressing ... | 14:34 |
| ayekat | distant2 | dpkg - and apt or aptitude as frontend | 14:35 |
| miso_h | Oer: we have just peazip but it has some problem .. maybe i will try it 1 year later... | 14:35 |
| Oer | miso_h, when installed, rar is available in filemanager nautilus menu/mouse-menu | 14:35 |
| bihari | MaRk-I, can i pm you. | 14:35 |
| distant2 | what's more important in a linux distro, the package manager or the desktop environment? | 14:35 |
| MaRk-I | bihari: yes | 14:36 |

| miso_h | Oer: i know that. but it can not compress the files by level i want (high level, normal or store...) :( | 14:36 |

| agronholm | jgcampbell300: doesn't it work with the latest wine then? | 14:36 |
| thune3 | wildeja: unless you are experiencing diskspace issues with ubuntu, there is no downside to leaving those partitions as is. | 14:37 |
| jgcampbell300 | agronholm: I am trying to get away from Adobe , but It does work on Virtual Box | 14:37 |
| Commodore | Who uses Xubuntu? | 14:37 |
| Commodore | I can't seem to enable themes in Emerald... Someone help? | 14:37 |
| wildeja | thune3, Thank you for your time :) | 14:37 |
| distant2 | so is the pm linked to the de or is it independent, can gnome and kde run the same pm for exampl? | 14:37 |
| agronholm | jgcampbell300: there is no comprehensive replacement suite | 14:37 |
| Aaron1 | Tik , livindaylight: it did not work :( but I've noticed a "wubi" installer when I created the USB , is this installer install ubuntu completely ? | 14:37 |

| gsal | guys, what happens just after vnc connects ? supposed a graphical interface appears. but it appears nothing, only X sign with gray background. like gnome didn't start | 14:38 |
| ayekat | distant2 | i mean, there's no difference between kde or gnome - thy both use dpkg | 14:38 |
| miso_h | Oer: am i right ? | 14:38 |
| agronholm | no replacement for Flash, obviously | 14:38 |
| jgcampbell300 | agronholm: bummer ... I am wondering if there are indvidual packages I could move to like .. well gimp i have for photos but need to replace dreamweaver and a few of the others | 14:39 |

| agronholm | what the heck are those | 14:40 |
| bihari | arun_ ? | 14:40 |
| ResQue | agronholm: also with HTML5 i think flash with be used less and less | 14:40 |
| blue_ | hi | 14:40 |
| jgcampbell300 | well anyone know of a replacement for DreamWeaver ? | 14:40 |
| fencepost | Hi guys, Can someone tell me the equivalent to "eselect opengl" on ubuntu? | 14:41 |
| agronholm | ResQue: that's BS, html5 can barely do 15% of what Flash can, and there are *NO* developer tools to harness even that much easily | 14:41 |
| TiK | jgcampbell300: yeah dreamweaver in a VM unless you like editing text :) | 14:41 |
| fencepost | I need to get mesa running instead of the nvidia gl | 14:41 |
| miso_h | Oer: that is the problem. :( i was searching for it at least 2-3 mouths. the best program on linux with gui is peazip. but it has many many big problems now. (we have disscuss for compress softwares on many forums) | 14:41 |
| kieran | movie file on usb hd, would like to play it within ubuntu not win7 | 14:41 |
| jgcampbell300 | ha ha ha | 14:41 |
| jgcampbell300 | ok well looks like i will stay with adobe for now | 14:41 |
| jgcampbell300 | thanks for the info all | 14:42 |
| TiK | kieran: what format? | 14:42 |
| kieran | anyone please | 14:42 |
| TiK | kieran: have you mounted thedrive? | 14:42 |
| kieran | yes | 14:42 |
| agronholm | iceroot: gnash is a flash *player*, not an editor | 14:42 |
| TiK | s pla it :) | 14:42 |
| kieran | can see file, doesnt reconise extension | 14:42 |
| TiK | play.. | 14:42 |
| ayekat | distant2 | there might exist distros where conary is used as package manager - but there's no real special relationship between a GUI like GNOME and the package manager itself | 14:43 |
| TiK | wat media type is it? | 14:43 |
| iceroot | agronholm: correct, did not read a flash editor is needed | 14:43 |
| Oer | miso_h, the manual gives many options > http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/rar.1.html | 14:43 |
| sandywin | hello | 14:43 |
| TiK | kieran: try opening it in VCL or whatever mediaplayer you use | 14:43 |
| kieran | .mev extension | 14:43 |
| sandywin | it is very good | 14:43 |
| kieran | i'll try vcl | 14:44 |
| ayekat | distant2 | i have for example a debian without any GUI (i kicked gnome from the machine), and still the package manager works alright... the GUI is simply a program that can be installed or removed like any other | 14:45 |
| miso_h | Oer: this is just for rar. i use many types most 7z rar and zip.. | 14:45 |
| miso_h | Oer: i will not take you time. | 14:45 |
| miso_h | Oer: thank you very much... | 14:45 |

| agronholm | I can't get this crap to work | 14:46 |
| sussler | agronholm: easiest of ways: get rid of it and use classic ifup/ifdown | 14:46 |
| TiK | livindaylight: i he can bot off of it im sure he is installing happily :) | 14:47 |
| TiK | er boot | 14:47 |
| sussler | for a while that p** craps out on several distros on me, don't care to know why | 14:47 |
| agronholm | sussler: I wonder why it stays broken year after year without anyone bothering to fix it | 14:47 |
| rek | Dr_Willis, | 14:48 |
| sussler | i think because it is the usual "works for me" kind of thing to be honest | 14:48 |
| blueonyx | hey, i got this smart error: http://pastebin.com/uQ9hb4k8 how to investigate it further? thune3? | 14:48 |
| agronholm | probably | 14:48 |
| sussler | all i know that is only let live the fittest of foss projects on my box; if something pisses me off, it dies. Period. | 14:48 |
| thune3 | blueonyx: checking... | 14:48 |
| sussler | especially when i read WONTFIX in bug trackers | 14:48 |
| blueonyx | thune3: thanks :) | 14:48 |
| arun__ | when I tried using with a proxy I am unable to access gmail. Any experience using proxies!! | 14:49 |
| ResQue | arun__: a private or public proxy? | 14:49 |
| arun__ | ResQue: cant really differentiate from them :P I just tried a proxy from samair.ru ! it should be public proxy right? | 14:50 |
| distant2 | ayekat: in foresight linux, it uses conary (they say it's powerful and whatnot), but for the gui it uses packagekit, a software used i believe by other package managers. this is very confusing as to the difference between pms. | 14:51 |
| phil42 | what's in 2.6.32-24.39 ? | 14:52 |
| livindaylight | distant2: foresight linux is lol | 14:52 |
| ResQue | arun__: yes that is what i mean by a public proxy, something from a public list that anyone can access | 14:52 |
| distant2 | livindaylight: is lol? | 14:52 |
| ResQue | arun__: i would say gmail is blocking the IP address, most of these public proxy list get scanned and blocked every day becuase of how many people abuse them for spaming | 14:52 |
| ayekat | distant2 | is packagekit a program with a GUI? because on Ubuntu there is also a program named "Synaptic" which is like a graphical frontend to dpkg. | 14:53 |
| livindaylight | distant2: they have been bragging about their package manager for years; now foresight linux is not even on 100 distrowatch list. Maybe the revoluton will come soon | 14:53 |
| === glxark is now known as source | ||
| phil42 | i found it, thanks anyway | 14:54 |
| livindaylight | distant2: its very slow development basically. They been promsing a gui front end for conary for a long time too now. Seems like its just a couple part time hackers workingon that project on the weekend | 14:54 |
| distant2 | ayekat: "designed to provide a consistent and high-level front end for a number of different package management systems" | 14:54 |

| FoolsRun | Ridiculous question time! So I know that Google offers Google Apps Directory Sync, which is neat and all; it syncs your Google Apps users with an LDAP server. Does anyone know of a way to do the reverse of this? A way to give Google Apps authoritative whatever so that my LDAP server was updated to reflect my GApps users? | 14:56 |
| ayekat | distant2 | ok, it's some kind of a frontend... but i guess there is something below... like in Ubuntu APT (Terminal) underlying Synaptic (GUI) | 14:57 |

| bazhang | distant2, conary has nothing to do with ubuntu support; please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic | 14:58 |

| topyli | rek: ok, that's what i do in fact. my router runs samba and it works like a charm. not sure how your printer likes to do the sharing, but as a rule of thumb, it should work out of the box | 15:13 |

| bazhang | jgcampbell300, a kernel, available in the package manager | 15:54 |
| littlepenguin | purpzey wine actual version is 1.3 | 15:54 |
| guampa | is there a ppa or other repo with newer kernels than the official? | 15:54 |

| * guampa dreams of easily installing 2.6.35 | 15:55 | |
| bobthebuilder | where is fsck? /usr/bin??? | 15:55 |
| jgcampbell300 | cool thanks much | 15:55 |
| io | !fsck | bobthebuilder | 15:55 |
| ubottu | bobthebuilder: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 15:55 |
| jgcampbell300 | gona give it a shot ... is there a way to back up before i try ? | 15:55 |
| FoolsRun | guampa: I admit ignorance, what will 2.6.36 get you that you need? | 15:55 |
| FoolsRun | er... .35 | 15:55 |
| bobthebuilder | io : i see its in /sbin/fsck but it won't run on my laptop | 15:56 |
| littlepenguin | brontos have you changed the config somehow? | 15:56 |
| bobthebuilder | io : im locked out, can you help me :D | 15:56 |
| bazhang | jgcampbell300, sure; /msg ubottu backup for some links, but its perfectly safe | 15:56 |
| aguitel | jgcampbell300, you have /home separate partition? | 15:56 |
| guampa | FoolsRun: a sweeter kernel :) | 15:56 |
| io | bobthebuilder: Explain your problem. | 15:56 |
| jgcampbell300 | home is on the same partition | 15:56 |
| brontos | littlepenguin, I did not change the config originally. but like I said I went ahead and wiped my drive and reloaded ubuntu | 15:56 |
| bazhang | jgcampbell300, it wont be affected | 15:57 |
| bobthebuilder | io:i installed todays update through update manager, when i reboot it says file system errors and to run fsck manually | 15:57 |
| FoolsRun | guampa: but day-to-day, are there features you need, or are you compulsively early-adopting? :) | 15:57 |
| jgcampbell300 | kk thanks | 15:57 |
| aguitel | jgcampbell300, you need to backup your data before | 15:57 |
| bobthebuilder | io: the old kernels in grub don't work either | 15:57 |
| guampa | FoolsRun: the latter, obviously. | 15:57 |
| bazhang | aguitel, for installing the pae kernel with 32bit? not really | 15:57 |
| jgcampbell300 | k going to look for backup solutions now ... thanks for the help | 15:57 |
| littlepenguin | brontos that should not harm your setting normally | 15:57 |
| bobthebuilder | io: all tell me to do fsck manually, but i put in ubuntu server cd and a USB boot thing and I cannot run fsck off it | 15:57 |
| Xaratas | hmpf | 15:57 |
| mbeierl | how do I change the iTunes backup location in gtkpod? If I change it in the UI and click apply, then exit and restart gtkpod, it's back to its old location. If I delete the repo and recreate it, it goes back to its old location. | 15:57 |

| sacarlson | anivana I also had to modify my /etc/fstab to not use that id number and just use the /dev/sdaX | 17:00 |
| ActionParsnip | mr_hai: i believe its optional but should be on the install CD | 17:00 |
| anirvana | Black_Prince : I did that | 17:01 |

| zulgaban | nope. | 17:01 |
| ikonia | anirvana: are you sure it's not hd0 and not hda0 | 17:01 |
| cristian_ | chi siete?????? | 17:02 |
| ikonia | anirvana: grub references hd0 not hda, and for the root devices it should be sdx(something) | 17:02 |

| anirvana | Black_Prince , ikonia : sorry, Its hd0 | 17:02 |
| Black_Prince | hd1 is hda2 | 17:02 |
| Black_Prince | Sorry my mistake, hd0 is hda and hd1 is hdb | 17:03 |
| ikonia | Black_Prince: don't reference hda/hdb | 17:03 |
| anirvana | so what should I do now? | 17:03 |
| ikonia | Black_Prince: 9.04 uses a later libata which references ALL disks as scsi, so sda, sdb, sdc etc | 17:03 |
| franta | isn't it like hd(0,1) ? | 17:03 |

(with "nomodeset" on from grub I get CAPSLOCK and SCROLLLCOK leds blinking and system hang black screened) what can I do to fix that ? | 17:05 |

| abhijit | !ask | Kevin07 | 17:05 |
| ubottu | Kevin07: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 17:05 |

| sacarlson | anirvana all you need as super user is fdisk -l to get a list of disk that you system sees | 17:07 |

| ikonia | Kevin07: what command are you using ? | 17:35 |
| sacarlson | anirvana: this is the broken after power fail so that might find a fix for you supergrub | 17:36 |
| io | Likely that his e-mail client fetches the real name field from the user credentials, same as irssi etc. | 17:36 |

| ikonia | pondera: that comes with a lot of tools ready to go ? | 17:37 |
| pondera | i just wanted to mess around with the server i though it had been like for instance windows server that has a gui | 17:38 |
| Kevin07 | Thank you for help, I didn't appreciate the harshness but I have a hard shell | 17:38 |
| littlepenguin | pondera fe you could install webmin and access the webgui through network | 17:38 |
| anirvana | Black_Prince : Are those the complete commands? just /initrd | 17:38 |
| ikonia | pondera: the desktop and the server are the same core package, using the desktop version would be a better learning tool | 17:39 |
| iceroot | pondera: ubuntu-server is the same as the normal ubuntu but without x-server ad with pae-kernel | 17:39 |
| mamat | hi, how can i get a list of installed packages? like 'dpkg -l' but with just package names of installed ones | 17:39 |
| pondera | i seee | 17:39 |
| iceroot | pondera: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop to have the gui | 17:39 |
| ikonia | pondera: I suggest you install the desktop version, it's just as good a product for a home user and has a lot of useful tools to help you learn | 17:39 |
| Black_Prince | anirvana /initrd is symlink to /boot/initrd.img-2.6.xx-xx-generic | 17:39 |
| iceroot | pondera: but remeber, a real server does not need a gui, its just a useless waste to have a gui on a server | 17:39 |
| pondera | ausome thanks so much for the info | 17:40 |
| Black_Prince | whoops it is /initrd.img | 17:40 |
| anirvana | Black_Prince : Ah ok and just 'ro' not 'ro 3' ? | 17:40 |
| pondera | iceroot good point , but i should learn in the gui first | 17:40 |
| Kevin07 | ikonia: Many learning users have been BOLDLY told to install ubuntu-server because "ubuntu-desktop" is less secure. | 17:40 |
| ikonia | Kevin07: no it's not | 17:40 |
| Kevin07 | and for a server...most of them don't have monitors | 17:40 |
| ikonia | Kevin07: the desktop version is not less secure than the server version | 17:40 |
| iceroot | Kevin07: never heard someone saying that | 17:40 |
| littlepenguin | but the version depends on the needs | 17:40 |
| pondera | right | 17:41 |
| ikonia | Kevin07: you don't need a monitor for the desktop version | 17:41 |
| Black_Prince | I just used ro | 17:41 |
| ikonia | Kevin07: but as he's asking for a gui - I'm assuming he has a monitor | 17:41 |
| anirvana | ok | 17:41 |
| Black_Prince | change initrd line to "initrd /initrd.img" | 17:41 |

| ikonia | Kevin07: that still doesn't change the fact of he doesn't need the sever install | 17:42 |
| ikonia | scott__: that low resolution is usable to fix the issue | 17:42 |
| chadi | ActionParsnip: dd didn't work because it's an audio CD, fyi :) | 17:43 |
| scott__ | yeah no kidding .... how do I get out of it?? it won't change and I can't see the recovery console to run xorg --configure | 17:43 |
| ikonia | scott__: first of all, what video card do you have ? | 17:43 |
| scott__ | I have the intel package for g43/g45 and I have the xorg-intel package AND it says its installed (but obviously not working) | 17:44 |
| ikonia | scott__: what exact video card do you have | 17:44 |
| scott__ | intel g43/g45 integrated | 17:44 |
| ikonia | scott__: ok - so this is a laptop ? | 17:44 |
| scott__ | no, desktop | 17:45 |
| scott__ | asus | 17:45 |
| ubuntu_ | ksdahflksahf | 17:45 |
| ikonia | scott__: ok, can you open a terminal on your messed up resolution ? | 17:45 |
| ikonia | scott__: (I assume this is a 10.04 install) | 17:45 |
| scott__ | yes, 10.4 ... I can open a terminal now under this 800x600 | 17:45 |
| ikonia | scott__: great, first to "ls -la /etc/X11/xorg.conf" does it return a file ? | 17:46 |
| Kevin07 | ikonia: When exactly would you recommend the server install, if you don't mind me asking? Or is it completely worthless to you? | 17:46 |
| Euthanatos | i can't be the first to want to do this but i can't find anything anywhere on recording visualizations from libvisual to an mpeg stream | 17:46 |
| ikonia | Kevin07: on enterprise class server hardware | 17:46 |
| Kevin07 | and im really not trying to be a dork | 17:46 |
| scott__ | no it does not | 17:46 |
| ikonia | scott__: that's good | 17:46 |
| scott__ | I'll take your word for it at this point ;-) | 17:47 |
| ikonia | scott__: so what you need is a very basic xorg configuration and then to force the xorg.conf to use the "intel" driver | 17:47 |
| scott__ | yes | 17:47 |
| ActionParsnip | chadi: ok the burning aps may work. Ive not made an ISO in tiiiiime | 17:47 |
| ikonia | scott__: if you do an "sudo init 1" it will drop you into single user mode and you can then do your xorg -configure line | 17:48 |
| scott__ | thru terminal? | 17:48 |
| scott__ | now? | 17:48 |
| ikonia | scott__: correct | 17:48 |
| scott__ | ok, stand by ... I'll be back! lol | 17:48 |
| chadi | ActionParsnip: yeah, using k3b right now | 17:48 |
| Kevin07 | ikonia: so, basicly a brand new server w/ 6 core processor, 8GB ram ,etc in a true server case or a rack mounted machine in a climate controlled environment would be a candidate for ubuntu-server? | 17:48 |
| mamat | hi, how can i get a list of the names of the packages i have installed? | 17:48 |
| Kevin07 | other than that...go desktop? | 17:48 |
| ikonia | Kevin07: doesn't have to be brand new, just a true server architecture, or a real requirment for a stripped back server install on supported hardware | 17:49 |
| ikonia | mamat: dpkg -l | 17:49 |
| bastid_raZor | ubottu: tell mamat about clone | 17:49 |
| ubottu | mamat, please see my private message | 17:49 |
| ActionParsnip | chadi: it uses qtlibs so you wil have pulled down a whole bunch of extra gumf, if it fits the bill then I guess the hit is sanctioned | 17:49 |
| mamat | bastid_raZor: nice thx, looks like the kinda stuff i'm trying to do | 17:50 |
| Kevin07 | ikonia: a machine that will handle a heck of a lot of load doing many different tasks, running 50% cpu utilization quite often...im getting what your saying | 17:50 |
| bastid_raZor | mamat: you're welcome. | 17:50 |
| sacarlson | mamat: dpkg --get-selections | 17:50 |
| Kevin07 | stripped back so it can fully dedicate its cpu to doing what it needs to do | 17:50 |
| sheza | anyone know why my 10.04 desktop randomly corrupted /dev/hda1 my default hardrive | 17:51 |
| Kevin07 | ikonia: you're an alright person, i like you. i thought you were attacking me before, my apologies | 17:51 |
| ikonia | Kevin07: no, load has nothing to do with it, the desktop will handle that load just fine | 17:51 |

| kayvan | hi | 17:54 |
| KaiForce | i have a script that mounts a USB drive and starts SAMBA because the location of the mount is a SAMBA share. Frequently, when I run the "unmount" script, it won't let me unmount because it says it is in use. I stop samba before I unmount, and lsof reveals nothing. Any idea what I can do to cleanly unmount this? | 17:54 |

| wessel_ | hello | 18:25 |
| wessel_ | I wish to install unbuntu on my old laptop | 18:25 |
| wessel_ | is it possible that ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386 is only 25 MB? | 18:25 |
| shact | wessel_: that's probably an online installer | 18:25 |
| ActionParsnip | wessel_: no chance, the kernel is nearly that big no its own | 18:25 |
| headkase314 | shact, so you've executed: "./configure" then "make" and you're having trouble with "make install"? Are there any errors from the first two and are you typing "sudo make install" for the last one? | 18:25 |
| mbeierl | wessel_: do you mean install it in a 25m ram system? | 18:25 |
| ActionParsnip | wessel_: the minimal ISO is around that sort of size | 18:26 |
| sacarlson | wessel_: I think you need at least 4 gig for a full ubuntu | 18:26 |
| wessel_ | no I donwloaded a file, its only 25 MB :-/ | 18:26 |
| ActionParsnip | wessel_: the desktop ISO will come in at arout 700Mb | 18:26 |
| ActionParsnip | wessel_: its a bad file | 18:26 |
| wessel_ | hmm, I'll download it again | 18:26 |
| sacarlson | wessel_: 25meg is even too small for something like DSL (dam small linux) that is about 50 meg | 18:26 |
| shact | headkase314: there's no ./configure, but yes the issue is on "make install". I think it's this issue here (solved): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1208438 | 18:26 |

| jgcampbell300 | what kernal was i going to install on ubuntu 10.04 to bring it from 32bit to 64bit ? | 18:33 |
| mast` | umm, the Ubuntu Forums are going crazy here. as soon as I log in they start refreshing constantly, under firefox and chrome also | 18:33 |
| xangua | !pae | jgcampbell300 | 18:34 |
| ubottu | jgcampbell300: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 18:34 |
| Slart | jgcampbell300: you can't just install a 64bit kernel and make your distro 64bit.. you'll be better off reinstalling | 18:34 |
| jgcampbell300 | thanks | 18:34 |
| llutz | jgcampbell300: its not that easy, you have to reinstall to get 64bit-sys | 18:34 |
| Slart | jgcampbell300: or use PAE if you just want to use more than 3-4 GB of memory | 18:34 |
| jm2k | guest18001: if you're not considering VM then try this: http://maketecheasier.com/how-to-run-multiple-linux-distros-without-virtualization/2009/08/11 | 18:34 |

| ubottu | To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 18:34 |
| tuxifier | jgcampbell300: I wouldn't recommend PAE kernel - seems to be a bit crappy to me | 18:35 |
| jgcampbell300 | tuxifier: whats wrong with it ? | 18:35 |
| llutz | tuxifier: theres nothing crappy with PAE, it just has some limitations | 18:35 |
| shact | headkase314: make clean was right, but still loads of errors | 18:35 |
| jgcampbell300 | umm what kind of limitations ? | 18:35 |
| tuxifier | jgcampbell300: what I tried to say is you are better of with 64Bit | 18:36 |
| jgcampbell300 | is there a way i can reinstall and get all of my settings and files and sutch back easly ? | 18:36 |
| EdwardIII | hey chaps - any window manager other than metacity (e.g. icewm) doesn't show up centered on screen. how can i fix this? | 18:36 |
| tuxifier | jgcampbell300: depends on what you call easy ;) No if you reinstall your disk will be "reformatted" | 18:37 |
| headkase314 | shact, do you have all the dependencies installed for the package you are trying to install? Usually the error messages will give clues to this if that is the case. They will say along the lines of "missing, not found, etc." "./configure" if it was part of this package is really good for telling you if you are missing dependencies. | 18:37 |
| jgcampbell300 | hmm what about getting a list of everything i have installed ... and there config files ? | 18:37 |
| headkase314 | shact, when compiling from source you need a lot of "<package>-dev" packages installed. | 18:38 |
| tuxifier | jgcampbell300: just a second | 18:38 |
| bastid_raZor | !clone | jgcampbell300 | 18:38 |
| muthu | any shortcut key are there now...? | 18:38 |
| ubottu | jgcampbell300: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 18:38 |
| ActionParsnip | jgcampbell300: you will need to manually grab the configs | 18:38 |
| tuxifier | jgcampbell300: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/clone-your-ubuntu-installation.html | 18:38 |
| shact | headkase314: just a min :) | 18:39 |
| headkase314 | shact, ok | 18:39 |

| Snandy | How can I make a new slide show for my desktop? | 18:39 |
| thune3 | jgcampbell300: i would examine your motives, what you are trying to accomplish, and ask if upgrading to 64-bit ubuntu would serve any reasonable purpose. (if you are just doing it for kicks, then fine) | 18:39 |
| wad | Under windows I can adjust the sensitivity of the touchpad on my lenovo laptop. Is there a way to do that under Ubuntu? It's driving me nuts.

| headkase314 | JasenAngelov, If you are using Ati hardware with proprietary drivers then this may appy: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/07/fix-compiz-slowness-for-proprietary-ati.html MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE IT APPLIES TO YOU BEFORE TRYING. | 19:14 |

| tucemiux | JasenAngelov, look at headkase314 post, it could be the ATI drivers are making your machine slow to a crawl | 19:15 |
| headkase314 | JasenAngelov, tucemiux IT DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU. Proprietary drivers for an Ati X1950GT are not available for Ubuntu 10.04, JasenAngelov Are you on Ubuntu 10.04? | 19:16 |

| fission6 | ami going to regret getting a 630 dolalr laptop and putting ubuntu on it for programming, web surfacing, and word processing if the machine only has a dual core 1.3ghz processor | 19:17 |
| tucemiux | JasenAngelov, it could be your hard drive is about to die -- you can test by running a live CD on your machine, it could also be your motherboard, it could also be your trolling | 19:18 |
| nullp0inter | fission6: your getting ripped off...i paid 300 for a new laptop with better specs | 19:18 |
| fission6 | link me | 19:18 |
| BluesKaj | fission6, seems like a rather slow cpu for 600bucks | 19:18 |
| fission6 | was it thin and slick design, that matetrs to me too, yes i know its superifical | 19:19 |
| nullp0inter | fission6: do you have a microcenter near you? | 19:19 |
| fission6 | microcenter? | 19:19 |
| dragenov | which one ubuntu 10.04 or mint 9 ???? | 19:19 |
| Slart | dragenov: we only support ubuntu here.. | 19:19 |
| c3l | how do I show the permission for a folder/file in octal (xxx)? | 19:19 |
| Slart | dragenov: try the live cd's first.. use the one you like | 19:19 |
| BluesKaj | fission6, or is that 1.3 ghz each core? | 19:20 |
| kagekage | c3l, try this ls -l | awk '{k=0;for(i=0;i<=8;i++)k+=((substr($1,i+2,1)~/[rwx]/)*2^(8-i));if(k)printf("%0o ",k);print}' | 19:20 |
| Wavesonics | hey i got a transmission server running, what permissions does a directory need for transmission to be able to download to it? | 19:20 |
| kagekage | It displays the octal form, followed by the normal ls -l output | 19:21 |
| nullp0inter | fission6: its a store | 19:21 |
| tuxifier | kagekage: nice one :P | 19:21 |
| tucemiux | fission6, a machine with a dual core?? that's overkill!!! What you should worry about is to make sure your video and sound card work with ubuntu, if you dont care about audio and video and all you want is programming then just pick a laptop with the fastest processor, ubuntu should run fine on it, just do a search on a specific brand and model once you decide what laptop you want to buy | 19:21 |
| c3l | kagekage: thats just awesome, but awkward, thanks! | 19:21 |
| nixbox | with checkinstall, what if i have already done a "make" and do not want to do checkinstall again, is there a way to build a package then, without recompiling everything? | 19:21 |

| dragenov | slart: it isn't the matter of happiness it is the matter of perfection . and does n't ubuntu+debian=mint so mint =ubuntu | 19:21 |
| hotstew | Hey guys, I'm a bit confused to why so many program can only be found in launchpad but not in the official Ubuntu repository. Obviously they're trying to work with you. Also I wanted to know if there's an easier way to navigate through those launchpad program because I already actively use three of them. | 19:21 |
| Slart | dragenov: mint is based on ubuntu afaik but it's offtopic here.. we only support ubuntu | 19:22 |
| headkase314 | nixbox, even though I gave a link I've never used checkinstall so can't help there... ;) | 19:22 |

| ubottu | dragenov: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 19:22 |

| c3l | kagekage: ah nice :) | 19:23 |
| tucemiux | fission6, if you want to use that laptop for programming then it should be good. BEWARE: you ***could*** have issues with the video card and maybe the sound card | 19:23 |
| leifw | it looks like, when I tabcomplete /boot/grub/grub.cfg inside the grub prompt, it thinks there are some extra nonsense bytes at the end (smiley faces and such) | 19:23 |
| thune3 | hotstew: do you have an example one? | 19:23 |
| fission6 | is it 1.3ghz in each core? | 19:23 |
| leifw | which would explain why it doesn't load it | 19:23 |
| leifw | but this is not the case once I boot | 19:24 |

| tucemiux | fission6, ask in ##hardware | 19:24 |

I was searching the web for a method that would allow me to somehow install windows from the ISO without having to burn it to a disc or USB drive or anything. Is there a way this could work? If so, can you please walk me through it | 19:27 |
| kinjeta | Side note, if the windows installation wipes out ubuntu thats fine | 19:27 |

| sum | Hi! | 19:28 |
| th0r | kinjeta: what has this to do with ubuntu? | 19:28 |
| headkase314 | Shact1, do this: "make clean" "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" "make > tempfile" "pastebinit tempfile" And post the link "pastebinit tempfile" gives. | 19:28 |
| Shact1 | ok | 19:28 |
| tucemiux | kinjeta, ask in ##windows | 19:29 |
| headkase314 | Shact1, then you can "rm tempfile" | 19:29 |
| kinjeta | I'm using ubuntu as an OS .. | 19:29 |
| kinjeta | atm | 19:29 |
| thune3 | hotstew: ppas are precicely for these niche apps that update frequently | 19:29 |
| tucemiux | kinjeta, you can ask in windows but if youre using ubuntu you can install windows 7 inside ubuntu using virtualbox | 19:29 |
| th0r | kinjeta: well, you can mount the iso to a directory using fuseiso | 19:29 |
| th0r | kinjeta: or you can burn it to a dvd/cd with brasero | 19:30 |
| hotstew | fair but is the browser the only way to find these programs? | 19:30 |
| tucemiux | kinjeta, did you download the windows 7 trial version ISO ? | 19:30 |
| sum | isos can be mounted via mount -o loop foo.iso /taret/dir | 19:30 |
| hotstew | or is there a general launchpad repository? | 19:30 |
| kinjeta | tucemiux: No it's a full version Iso | 19:30 |
| Saevar | kinjeta, mount -t iso9660 -o loops <iso_path> <where to> | 19:30 |
| Shact1 | headkase314: pastebin.com/9sLpFmrQ | 19:31 |
| headkase314 | Shact1, ok, let me look at that... | 19:31 |
| thune3 | hotstew. no. you add an app specific repository (ppa), such as https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/ppa | 19:31 |
| kinjeta | Thanks for the assistance all, I'll try using virtualbox to install it | 19:32 |
| welinux | kinjeta: or try WMware Player | 19:32 |
| hotstew | okay thanks, I wish there was a more organized way to navigate through programs in launchpad | 19:32 |

| welinux | hotstew: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/sources | 19:34 |
| headkase314 | Shact1, when you did "make > tempfile" did you see anything output on the screen? You should have seen nothing, if you did see output then the redirect to a file (">") didn't capture it all? I say that because I see no error messages in what you posted? Perhaps someone else can post how to capture a complete "make" output if so? | 19:34 |
| kinjeta | With the utilization of virtualbox...once windows is installed, is removing Ubuntu and retaining windows an option? | 19:35 |
| Shact1 | headkase314: yes some stuff came up on screen | 19:35 |
| ActionParsnip | headkase314: just go oldschool and copy / paste | 19:36 |

| c3l | ActionParsnip: yeah, but I want to allow downloads via the browser, afaik no browser has ssh support | 19:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | c3l, i'm personally with ActionParsnip on this one - sftp would be a lot better. But i've used proftpd succesfully in the past (it's fairly easy to setup, and powerful as well) | 19:43 |
| ActionParsnip | LinoSP: try running: sudo nvidia-xconfig ,then reboot. This will force the use of the proprietary driver | 19:44 |
| jeroendv | ActionParsnip: but doesn't cron have the problem that it doesn't work if your laptop if not on? | 19:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | c3l, if it's only download and not upload you want - perhaps you could you a web server apache instead? | 19:44 |
| ActionParsnip | jeroendv: well, yeah. No power = cpu is off so no scheduler will run if the system is off in any OS | 19:44 |
| headkase314 | Shact1, when you come back describe what I just said to you! That will get you started again good! | 19:44 |

| llutz | jeroendv: anacron exists | 19:45 |
| jeroendv | ActionParsnip: well ok obviously, but will cron realise that it missed an action and perform it when the laptop is turned off? | 19:45 |
| ActionParsnip | LinoSP: your cards sound like they will be supported by the nouveau driver rather than the proprietary driver | 19:45 |
| orion_X11 | how do I configure volume applet panel to show its bar in a vertical mode, instead of horizontal? I do not like horizontal mode to put volume up and down | 19:46 |
| jeroendv | llutz: yeah, thought of that but its smallest period is 1 day, while i would rather have somthing like 6 or 12h | 19:46 |
| ActionParsnip | jeroendv: no, the scheduler will rerun at boot and the schedule will be re-examines and continued | 19:46 |
| ActionParsnip | jeroendv: if your bios supports it you can schedule a power on | 19:46 |

| jm2k | abhigit: my gnome login screen kicks me back to login after i enter my user/pass correctly. | 19:48 |
| jeroendv | ActionParsnip: so theoretically I could prevent cron from ever doing anything if I turn it off just before it should be executing? seems fischy | 19:48 |

| xtknight | cawnc, system-> preferences ->startup | 19:50 |
| abhijit | cawnc, System=>Preferences=>Startup Aps | 19:50 |
| bastid_raZor | !startup | cawnc | 19:50 |
| ubottu | cawnc: 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 | 19:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | cawnc, System / Preferences / Startup Applications | 19:50 |
| xtknight | jru898, in what context? | 19:50 |
| k0sh-mobile | Aj | 19:50 |
| jru898 | I.e., I have the webcam working, and I have it running in several flash-based applications | 19:50 |
| jru898 | But the image is extremely grainy | 19:50 |
| sanguisdex1 | so I just installed ubutntu onto a win7 machine for a dual boot and now I can't get past the file system check when booting into win 7. any sugestions | 19:50 |
| jru898 | And dark | 19:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | bastid_raZor, the !startup factoid need to be updated for 10.04 me thinks. | 19:50 |
| jru898 | I'd like to increase the exposure | 19:50 |
| bastid_raZor | that factoid is outdated for 10.04 :\ | 19:50 |
| bastid_raZor | ZykoticK9: agreed. | 19:51 |
| elyos | 19:51 | |
| tuxifier | I just want to say that haproxy is a pretty fancy tool :) | 19:51 |
| jru898 | And cheese doesn't offer the options I need | 19:51 |
| k0sh-mobile | rooks: hi, remember me? | 19:51 |
| xtknight | jru898, usually it needs more lighting. but im not sure there's a way to put a filter at the driver level other than modifying the source code. unless it has options already. there might be a V4L2 option in it, but sadly most apps dont expose access to these so readily | 19:51 |
| cached | so is there a difference between apt-get and aptitude | 19:52 |
| === xen|away is now known as xenthral | ||
| xtknight | cached, aptitude installed recommended applications, apt-get does not... i believe | 19:52 |
| ZykoticK9 | cached, yes - aptitude has actually been removed from default Maverick FYI | 19:52 |
| abhijit | ZykoticK9, which was last version having that Session menu? | 19:52 |
| gh | heh, serious hand holding goes on in here | 19:52 |
| ZykoticK9 | abhijit, not sure... 9.04? | 19:52 |
| jm2k | xtknight: you're awesome! i did have a syntax error. i'd like to offer you my first-born :) thanks | 19:52 |
| abhijit | ZykoticK9, ok | 19:52 |
| xtknight | jm2k lol | 19:53 |
| AviMarcus | heya. I'm trying luckybackup / rsync to synchronize two external drives. But it's only adding, not deleting files. What should I use to sync with deleting? | 19:53 |
| tesuji | i don't want to use the gnome keyring - can i just delete the files? | 19:53 |
| jm2k | bastid_raZor: thanks too. | 19:53 |
| greph | why we have to install all the 30 mb of kernel when needs even a mirror update ? (i know that linux is consisted from hundreds of packages, so it is not enough to install just the updated package ? ) | 19:53 |
| grendal_prime | anyone any good with virtualbox? | 19:54 |
| grendal_prime | networking that is? | 19:54 |
| xtknight | greph, most of the space is debug info (annotated code to help developers debug issues) | 19:54 |
| Snandy | How can I get Ubuntu to "see" my raid drives? | 19:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | !anyone | grendal_prime or see the #vbox channel | 19:54 |
| ubottu | grendal_prime or see the #vbox channel: 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? | 19:54 |
| DasEi | grendal_prime: not sure, just ask | 19:54 |
| xtknight | Snandy, software or hardware raid? | 19:54 |
| SimonSayez | tesuji, gnome-keyring is a pain in the ass | 19:55 |
| Snandy | Hardware, on the motherboard | 19:55 |
| abhijit | ZykoticK9, i submitted factoid update. let see what ops do to it? :) | 19:55 |
| greph | xtknight: sorry but i can not understand what you mean. i dont know if i have problem with my system. can you explain the reason of that easy. | 19:55 |
| DasEi | Snandy: load dmraid | 19:55 |
| DasEi | !info dmraid | 19:55 |
| xtknight | Snandy, usually you can setup your device with device-mapper and it'll be in /dev/mapper/xxxx | 19:55 |

| abhijit | ZykoticK9, :) | 19:55 |
| Snandy | !info dmraid | 19:55 |
| tesuji | SimonSayez, i noticed - but what happens i delete it | 19:55 |
| jm2k | back to my project with a deadline. thanks all for the help. | 19:55 |
| xtknight | greph, no you don't have a problem with your system, sometimes updates are just big | 19:55 |
| DasEi | !info dmraid > Snandy | 19:56 |
| Snandy | Thanks | 19:56 |
| greph | xtknight: big like 30 mb ? :)wow so developers are working fast :D | 19:56 |
| tesuji | i don't want to use the gnome keyring - can i just delete the files? | 19:56 |
| SimonSayez | tesuji, Delete those Gnome files in your home directory and leave the gnome keyring pasword field blank | 19:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | tesuji, is key ring coming up everytime for nm_applet? | 19:56 |
| DasEi | Snandy: install i, read its man - output for usage | 19:56 |
| DasEi | it* | 19:56 |
| tesuji | ZykoticK9, my wifi wont work until i enter password | 19:57 |
| DasEi | grendal_prime: what's on with vboxnetwork ? | 19:57 |
| xtknight | greph, yeah sort of, but most of that size is not new code | 19:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | tesuji, move rather then delete the current keyring settings - then the next time keyring should re-prompt, choose the Insecure storage option and it will stop asking. | 19:57 |
| k0sh-mobile | rooks: are you there? | 19:57 |
| Snandy | DasEi: Thanks, installed and reading now | 19:57 |
| xtknight | greph, ubuntu does not support delta like fedora or suse yet, it installs the whole new package. | 19:57 |
| polar|grr | sorry for the disconnection... I found something odd. I have a 80GB drive on /dev/sda, and a 160gb drive on /dev/sdb ... /dev/sdb1 WAS mounted on /, and that's ok, but 'mount /dev/sda1' says "/dev/sdb' is already mounted... any ideas? o_O | 19:57 |
| greph | xtknight: ok. thank you! | 19:58 |
| DasEi | polar|grr: output of mount without any parameters ? | 19:58 |
| Snandy | How do I add slides for my desktop? Like the default Cosmos | 19:58 |
| tesuji | ZykoticK9, move? where? why? | 19:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | Snandy, use Cosmos script as a base, and TRY to adapt it to your own files. I personally failed at it, good luck. | 19:59 |
| jeremyn | how can i verify that i am using the nvidia driver? System > Administration > Hardware Drivers say I am using nvidia, but System > Administration > NVIDIA X Server Settings says I am not | 19:59 |
| tesuji | does anybody use dropbox? | 19:59 |
| DasEi | jeremyn: stop gdm and run : sudo nvidia-settings first one time | 20:00 |
| jeremyn | DasEi: you mean log out and then login through the command line and run that? | 20:00 |

| ncurses | just a quick question... what do i need to install first since im planning on dual booting freebsd and ubuntu??? | 20:08 |
| bipolar | Has anyone else noticed a lot of interface lag and temporary hanging when you have a lot of programs running at once, copying files around, or compiling something? I looked into it and ended up changing the default scheduler, which make my UI much more responsive. If anyone else is having the same issues, I'd like you to try the same thing I did and see if it clears up. | 20:09 |
| ActionParsnip | SimonSayez: you can also remove old kernels to save space | 20:09 |
| abhijit | Yoska, try to use proper irc client if possible (my personal opion) e.g. xchat | 20:09 |
| SimonSayez | ActionParsnip, I never have my browser record my session and I use google-chrome in incognito mode on start up #google-chrome --incognito | 20:09 |
| Yoska | ok,thnk friend | 20:09 |
| Snandy | Is PlayOnLinux a good app? Is it a must have for a semi-novice? | 20:09 |
| DasEi | ncurses: can use grub for both, so no real matter, I'd go bsd-ubuntu, cause ubuntu has better support | 20:10 |
| jeremyn | Snandy: depends on what you're trying to do i suppose | 20:10 |
| ActionParsnip | SimonSayez: what does incognito do? I hope you aren't rrunning it as root | 20:10 |
| picard1421 | anyone know? | 20:10 |
| grendal_prime | DasEi, ya. webserver | 20:10 |
| picard1421 | if the w510 touch and multi touch feature are supported? | 20:10 |
| grendal_prime | from the host wich is also a router. | 20:10 |
| ActionParsnip | picard1421: check the hcl | 20:10 |
| picard1421 | hc1? | 20:10 |
| picard1421 | what is that? | 20:11 |
| Snandy | jeremyn: I am wanting to play PC games in Ubuntu. I am searching for WineX apps, and many more popped up than I expected | 20:11 |
| SimonSayez | ActionParsnip, Download Google-Chrome and install it and make a Desktop launcher and go to Properties and add --incognito to /usr/bin/google-chrome --incognito and your history never gets recorded | 20:11 |
| DasEi | grendal_prime: I assume you have a dynamic IP on the host, so you have to set up a (free) account like dyndnscom and then use a client on the vm to resolve the host(the vm itself in this case) | 20:11 |

| grendal_prime | DasEi, i was assuming that i would just dest-nat anything coming in on port 80. | 20:11 |
| SimonSayez | ActionParsnip, of course not, I would never run a web browser as root | 20:11 |
| jeremyn | Snandy: i've found wine by itself is decently usable. occasionally i've had trouble with wine and tried to use playonlinux but it still wouldn't work | 20:11 |

| kagekage | Snandy, if you download PlayOnLinux it will download WINE to fill the dependency, I believe | 20:13 |
| jeremyn | Snandy: if you install playonlinux from the repositories, it will install wine if you don't already have it | 20:14 |

| DasEi | !hi | munis | 20:23 |
| ubottu | munis: 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! | 20:23 |
| mleger | abhijit: will do, thank you! | 20:23 |
| SimonSayez | However Google Chrome appears to be much faster than FireFox | 20:23 |
| abhijit | tesuji, i am also not expert. but just repeat your question. | 20:23 |

| cawnc | Is open office the best Free linux supported word processor? | 20:24 |
| cablop | i can't enable my nvidia card to work, can i get some help? | 20:24 |
| fs_ | Anybody know how to follow a redirect with wget. I tried the --help and a few commands but can't seem to find the right one | 20:24 |
| kagekage | cawnc: you may want to check out Abiword. I haven't used it, I prefer OpenOffice, but some like it more | 20:24 |
| munis | hi | 20:24 |
| DasEi | cawnc: best is a poll, it's very huge and has a big footprint, but many features, I like Abiword for common officejobs | 20:24 |
| psycho789 | userJDownloader for long downloads | 20:24 |
| abhijit | cawnc, my local language fonts dont work properly on open office but they work good on abiword. oo is best but not in all cases. | 20:25 |
| cablop | how can i reinstall my graphics card? | 20:25 |
| welinux | fs_: what's the adress of the file? | 20:25 |
| DasEi | cablop: which nvidia ? | 20:25 |
| fs_ | http://www.vim.org/scripts/download_script.php?src_id=11006 | 20:25 |
| fs_ | something like that | 20:25 |
| cablop | geforce 6200 dasei | 20:25 |
| fs_ | but I always end up downloading the php file | 20:25 |
| cablop | and it was working before i moved it to a different board | 20:25 |
| DasEi | cablop: the standard will work there, first uninstall all nvidia stuff via synaptic, reconfigure graphics, then use hardwaredrivers | 20:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | cablop, if you currently have an xorg.conf - "mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.orig" then you could restart and be using Nouveau. If you want to retry nvidia - "sudo nvidia-xconfig". Good luck. | 20:26 |
| cablop | then what do i have to uninstall? | 20:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | cablop, i'd try it first without uninstalling anything. | 20:27 |
| DasEi | cablop: call synaptic, search for nvidia | 20:27 |
| cablop | ZykoticK9: ah i see | 20:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | cablop, IF you have nvidia enabled in Hardware Drivers | 20:27 |
| cablop | i moved the xorg.conf file | 20:27 |
| cablop | and started x | 20:27 |
| cablop | and i'm now in synaptic and searched for nvidia | 20:27 |
| DasEi | cablop: try ZykoticK9 first, might be faster , if not totally borked | 20:27 |
| abhijit | hey friends there was an option for show only text or text with icon or only icon. but now just i reinstall my lucid and i cant have that option in right click desktop>background prefenreces | 20:27 |
| abhijit | help | 20:27 |
| cablop | ZykoticK9: DasEi i entered the synaptic a while ago, then removed the nvidia things and hen removed the xorg.conf file, i can enter in ugly graphics mode... so what's your reommendatrion now? | 20:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | abhijit, it might be an option in ubuntu-tweak... can't check right now in wrong Ubuntu | 20:29 |
| abhijit | ZykoticK9, ohh ok. | 20:29 |
| DasEi | cablop: same or other machine currently speaking from ? | 20:29 |
| welinux | fs_: it's a zip file anyway You can unzip it or just rename it to *.zip | 20:29 |

| DasEi | haresh: a dvd iso yes, not a cd iso | 20:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | Ping_Floyd, ? i don't do too much ISO/USB stuff like that. Saevar | 20:35 |
| abhijit | crom, this what ubuntu tell me when i try to run command dund in terminal: The program 'dund' is currently not installed. To run 'dund' please ask your administrator to install the package 'bluez-compat' | 20:35 |
| Ping_Floyd | holis | 20:35 |
| maco | wessel: when a window goes grey, thats like "not responding" -- doesnt mean its crashed, just that its too busy to respond to clicks | 20:35 |
| ratcheer | haresh: Yes | 20:35 |
| haresh | if i were to burn a cd iso on a dvd it will not work right | 20:35 |
| maco | wessel: so, it might just be really busy with installiing | 20:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | haresh, yes | 20:36 |

| wessel | I waited like 3 minutes | 20:36 |
| haresh | no wonder was getting the error unable to find a medium containing a live file system | 20:37 |
| DasEi | haresh : anyway, usb is faster, if machine boots it and stick got least 1 gb, and saves a medium | 20:37 |
| maco | wessel: installation itself takes 15minutes to an hour depending on the hardware... | 20:37 |
| wessel | I'm now doing run ubuntu from usb | 20:37 |
| wessel | it goes gray again | 20:37 |
| maco | wessel: like after you hit the "go ahead" (or whatever it says) button at the end of the install wizard | 20:37 |
| wessel | after the * * * * * {o} screen | 20:37 |
| unclemantis | ok i need a dumb answer. How do i view my apache server log file and when an error is written view the update | 20:37 |
| unclemantis | you know, scrolling like | 20:37 |
| Pici | unclemantis: Can you rephrase that question? I'm not sure what you're asking. | 20:38 |
| DasEi | cablop: does it work after a reboot ? | 20:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | maco, i interpret wessel's * to mean Plymouth, perhaps X is failing to start? | 20:38 |
| Snandy | When using dmraid, I can't use any triggers, it keeps telling me "ERROR: you must be root" So how do I gain root to mess around in terminal? | 20:38 |
| unclemantis | i want to view the contents of error.log as well as any updates to it | 20:38 |
| unclemantis | monitor it | 20:38 |
| Pici | Snandy: sudo -i | 20:38 |
| DasEi | Snandy: sudo as a prefix it | 20:38 |
| wessel | maco: I start my pc, it boots from usb, asks options like start from usb, or install ubuntu to hard disk | 20:38 |
| Pici | unclemantis: tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log | 20:39 |

| wessel | i hit start from usb | 20:39 |

| === hokkos_ is now known as hokkos | ||
| unclemantis | tail... right | 20:39 |
| Pici | !sudo | Snandy | 20:39 |
| DasEi | !sudo | 20:39 |
| ubottu | Snandy: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 20:39 |
| unclemantis | thanks :) | 20:39 |
| wessel | it shows the ubuntu symbol --> {o} and 5 red dots * * * * * | 20:39 |
| maco | wessel: is it using an intel 8xx graphics chip? | 20:39 |
| DasEi | hehe | 20:39 |
| wessel | starts loading, and bam, gray | 20:39 |
| wessel | maco I think so | 20:39 |
| Snandy | !sudo | 20:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | wessel, try selecting "try ubuntu" to get into Live Mode to see if that works, if it does, select the Install icon on the desktop | 20:39 |
| wessel | its centrino I think | 20:39 |
| Pici | Snandy: Just look at what ubottu said above ^^ | 20:40 |
| maco | wessel: can you use an alternate install cd? | 20:40 |

| tesuji | has anyone configued wifi without using networkmanager? OR have you used networkmanager with a static? | 20:40 |

| wessel | its this | 20:41 |
| pandaren | f | 20:41 |
| DasEi | Snandy: in that info, factoids can be evoked just by their name, so !sudo here there is just sudo | 20:41 |
| Pici | DasEi: It doesn't hurt if you use the ! in pm. | 20:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | maco, i'd really encourage wessel to try a live environment to see if it works (would indicate a problem/get solution prior to actual install) | 20:41 |
| tesuji | has anyone configued wifi without using networkmanager? OR have you used networkmanager with a static? | 20:42 |
| wessel | ZykoticK9: what you mean live mode? | 20:42 |
| DasEi | Pici:but then I would be faster ;-) | 20:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | wessel, like a LiveCD or in your case a LiveUSB | 20:42 |
| wessel | don't I have this already? | 20:42 |
| tesuji | has anyone configued wifi without using networkmanager? OR have you used networkmanager with a static? | 20:42 |
| wessel | it asks "run ubuntu" from usb.. | 20:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | wessel, yes select Try Ubuntu instead of install | 20:42 |
| wessel | I did, goes gray | 20:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | wessel, then "run ubuntu" my bad | 20:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | wessel, right - you have an xorg issue for sure. | 20:43 |
| wessel | xorg? :-/ | 20:43 |
| DasEi | tesuji: again, edit inerfaces | 20:43 |
| maco | ZykoticK9: well a live one wont boot :P in cases where that happens, alternate is the only way to go, then you can repair from there | 20:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | wessel, maco intel issue may apply | 20:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | maco, true | 20:43 |
| maco | wessel: xorg = the graphics system | 20:43 |
| wessel | k | 20:43 |
| tesuji | DasEi, that's good for setting up a wired link but wifi needs a key | 20:43 |
| wessel | can this be fixed? | 20:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | maco, just recommending downloading another ISO if not required, is kinda... | 20:44 |
| maco | wessel: the screen where it asks...looks fully graphical? or is a solid screen with a list of options? | 20:44 |
| wessel | where it asks what? | 20:44 |

| wessel | ZykoticK9: its not a screenshot, its a photo with a photo camera | 20:59 |
| maco | ZykoticK9: oh i see | 20:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | wessel, of course! you'd need a framebuffer screenshot program running before the system started! impossible. | 20:59 |
| maco | wessel: this is called geeks forgetting about the world taht existed before computers ;-) | 21:00 |
| haresh | when i run the cd tp install ubentu it just stop at unable to find a medium containing a live file system | 21:00 |
| abhijit | haresh, just repeat your questions after some apprx 10 min rather than saying 'anyone can help' | 21:00 |
| haresh | okei | 21:00 |
| maco | ZykoticK9: in this new world of booting that has the "try" option in a window instead of on the boot splash plymouth thingy... is it possible to modify kernel boot parameters? | 21:00 |
| maco | ZykoticK9: if so, wessel could try disabling kms | 21:00 |
| DasEi | haresh: you burned the md5sum-checked cd on a cd-medium ? | 21:01 |
| haresh | yeah | 21:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | maco, hold shift on Grub2 and enter "text" as a kernel parameter | 21:01 |
| maco | ZykoticK9: er... there's grub on the cd? | 21:01 |
| DasEi | haresh: did you try the cd's self-test also ? verify medium ? | 21:01 |
| haresh | yeah i did | 21:02 |
| haresh | it passed | 21:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | maco, LOL good point! not sure? oops | 21:02 |

| jimdefied | greetings! | 21:02 |
| DasEi | haresh: so you can try some bootoptions, still, starting with ACPI=OFF | 21:02 |
| maco | ZykoticK9: to turn off kms you need: i915.modeset=0 <-- that added to end of kernel boot params, but i dont know how to do that on lucid CDs :-/ | 21:02 |
| haresh | hmm ok | 21:03 |
| haresh | brb | 21:03 |
| Watson516 | After grub loads, my numlock turns off for all operating systems installed. Is this a grub fix or bios fix I should be looking for? | 21:03 |
| jimdefied | I'm curious if anybody has heard of an issue with lshw on 10.10 | 21:03 |
| oCean_ | jimdefied: maverick discussion in #ubuntu+1 | 21:03 |
| jimdefied | thank you | 21:03 |
| hobbsc | i've got ufw turned off and i'm running motion. it's listening on ports 80 and 8081. i can connect to both ports locally, but not from another machine on the same subnet. i can ssh into the machine from other boxes on the same subnet, though | 21:03 |
| wessel | its still running windows still fine xD | 21:03 |
| wessel | windows XP | 21:03 |
| hobbsc | anyone have any idea how i can open those ports so that other boxes can get to it | 21:03 |
| trism_ | maco: it's the same as on other cds, you just need to hit some button to get the menu back (maybe escape?) | 21:04 |
| pieter_ | can anyone tell me if its possible to see how much power a usb device is drawing? | 21:04 |
| wessel | when I boot from hard disk that is, so I'm not sure about this grafics controller talk, ... but seems to me I should get a different version of ubuntu | 21:04 |
| ZykoticK9 | maco, i just tested in VM Lucid LiveCD hold shift bring up the "boot graphics" option. | 21:04 |
| wessel | a version of unbutu that has different graphic drivers | 21:04 |
| ZykoticK9 | maco, and kernel parameters | 21:04 |
| maco | trism_: previous CDs and the kubuntu cd have a "options" menu at the bottom if you hit f6 | 21:05 |

| grendal_prime | nevermind DasEi. I figured it out . just some stupid firewall issue had nothign to do with my configs at all...crap..ok done now though | 21:07 |
| ZykoticK9 | wessel, hold SHIFT down after selecting your boot device (right after BIOS by default) you should get a menu choice. | 21:07 |
| wessel | yes | 21:07 |
| DasEi | !yay | grendal_prime | 21:07 |

| === lilx is now known as Guest97353 | ||
| wessel | where I do this? | 21:07 |
| wessel | in the bios? | 21:07 |
| wessel | for me its F12 | 21:07 |
| wessel | to select bootable device | 21:07 |
| trism_ | maco: I'm pretty sure that is still there, it's just that the isolinux/syslinux menu isn't shown by default, you have to hit some button that I can't remember to get to it on the purple screen (I originally needed nomodeset, which was in the f6 menu) | 21:07 |
| cilly_ | okay I'm trying to get the z35 driver to work. According to the tutorial, I type /usr/lib/cups/backend/z35 at the terminal and the output should be direct z35:/dev/usb/lp0 “Lexmark Inkjet color printer” “Lexmark Printer” It returns nothing. Anyone know whats going on? | 21:08 |
| === trism_ is now known as trism | ||
| maco | wessel: dont go *into* the bios | 21:08 |
| wessel | ZykoticK9: I'm selecting USB | 21:08 |
| wessel | and then I'm gonna hold shift | 21:08 |
| maco | wessel: just after you see the bios thing, hold shift down so that the ubuntu catches that while it's booting | 21:08 |
| wessel | so I hold shift before I get the choice screen | 21:08 |
| AviMarcus | darn. only 20 minutes of scrollback. I'd like software to sychronize two folders, which also deletes files. Any suggestions? | 21:08 |
| wessel | k | 21:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | wessel, after bios - you should see "Load boot graphics" if you held shift properly. | 21:08 |
| wessel | nope didn't get it | 21:09 |
| wessel | and I was pretty fast | 21:09 |
| === bullgard5 is now known as bullgard4 | ||
| ZykoticK9 | wessel, don't tap, hold shift down is my only hint | 21:09 |
| wessel | it just goes to "automatically boot in 5 seconds" | 21:09 |
| wessel | I'm now in the choice menu, "run ubuntu from this USB" etc | 21:10 |
| wessel | I need press shift before this right? | 21:10 |
| cablop | ZykoticK9, DasEi i just reboted now... now i got screen again, ut i guess it's not the nvidia driver... also it's whowing the spalsh screen... butt i told it to not to do... weid | 21:10 |
| wessel | [Installer boot menu] | 21:10 |
| ZykoticK9 | wessel, autoboot hit enter - then try holding shift down | 21:10 |
| haresh | still the same bro | 21:10 |
| ZykoticK9 | cablop, proprietary nvidia destroys Plymouth (boot splash) - fact of life i'm affraid. | 21:11 |

| DasEi | haresh: So.. wrong architecture maybe (386/64 ?) | 21:12 |

| ZykoticK9 | Snandy, any app could, but you're likely to run into issue burning across a network, unless it's real fast! | 21:12 |

| cablop | ZykoticK9: yes, i'm in that place, but it's not detecting my card | 21:13 |

| kenwiliest | why... why does pkg_add keep freezing... and every time i make install clean a x11/ gnome2/ etc etc port (dealing with graphics) it never works... | 21:24 |

| wessel | ZykoticK9: what is Lucid CD anyways... | 21:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | maco, and example boot line would be like "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-k7 root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet splash noapic nolapic" which you could add the i8 intel fix too - but i'm not sure how you find the kernel info for wessel's system to put in there. | 21:25 |
| maco | wessel: ive been buying explicitly-linux-compatible hardware long enough that my what-to-do-when-its-not-supported-right pile of knowledge is like 3 years out of date | 21:26 |

| DasEi | haresh : use k3b | 21:28 |
| fenix | =) | 21:29 |
| SCD[Eire] | Thanks ZykoticK9, I'll try it now | 21:29 |
| cablop | DasEi: which prefered repositories? ubuntu-security or ubuntu-updates? | 21:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | wessel, that was only an example - some changes would need to be made, for example root=/dev/hda1 is probably incorrect as well. | 21:29 |

| erkan^ | I am very satisfied with BlogTK, abhmetji | 21:38 |
| tweepcat_ | gparted isn't showing any partitions, which means i cant install ubuntu | 21:38 |
| systemd0wn | andrew_2, if you're just using it for a backup i would make a script that compresses the home directory and then puts that file into the dropbox folder | 21:39 |
| andrew_2 | systemd0wn: Just what I was asking ;p | 21:39 |
| XunZi | I just installed handbrake-gtk but the command still can not be found. | 21:39 |

| === richard is now known as Guest12406 | ||
| thune3 | jd__: i personally don't see how it could increase the performance of the vm itself (unless the VM has fixed memory and is running out). Limiting the memory and setting dedicated swap (if your vm does that), would seem to be a way of preventing the vm from taking over your system memory, which reduces the performance outside the vm. | 21:49 |
| DasEi | filosofixit: kinda nics ? drivers needed or standard ones ? | 21:50 |

| CT1 | Hi. How can I disable middle click when I press left and right mouse buttons? ie, I want middle click to be triggered ONLY when I actually click the middle button, not when I click left+right. | 22:27 |
| Dr_Willis | CT1: thats a setting called 'mouse cording' (or chording), not sure where its set these days of No Xorg.conf | 22:27 |

| JonathanYC | Hello! :D | 22:33 |
| JonathanYC | My ubuntu installation says Tcl is installed | 22:33 |
| JonathanYC | but I can't execute tcl scripts using tcl <scriptname> | 22:33 |
| JonathanYC | Could anyone help me with this? | 22:33 |
| cablop | dasei ok, i restarted this thing... then sudo init 1 | 22:33 |
| Dr_Willis | JonathanYC: and the error it gives is ? output of 'tcl --version' is ? | 22:34 |
| cablop | but init 1 throw me that useless [plymouth thing!!! | 22:34 |
| JonathanYC | Dr_Willis: It says the tcl command is not present | 22:34 |
| JonathanYC | command not found :/ | 22:34 |
| Dr_Willis | JonathanYC: then sounds like TCL is not installed.. | 22:34 |
| DasEi | cablop: boot safemode from grub then | 22:34 |
| JonathanYC | Dr_Willis: Yet it is | 22:34 |
| Dr_Willis | JonathanYC: and what did you install? | 22:34 |
| JonathanYC | I just uninstalled it and reinstalled it twice. What more do you want? 8D | 22:34 |
| JonathanYC | Tcl of course | 22:35 |
| JonathanYC | This: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/tcl | 22:35 |
| cablop | ok dasei booting in recovery mode | 22:35 |
| JonathanYC | So the command would obviously be | 22:35 |
| JonathanYC | sudo apt-get install tcl | 22:35 |
| Dr_Willis | JonathanYC: what was the exact package name you installed? | 22:35 |
| enzotib | JonathanYC: tclsh is the same? | 22:35 |
| JonathanYC | enzotib: No, tclsh is installed | 22:35 |
| JonathanYC | Dr_Willis: As I have already said, tcl. | 22:36 |

| magicianlord | what is a good cli radio station player for music? | 22:36 |
| tesuji | what's a pastebin site that accepts binary files? | 22:37 |
| Dr_Willis | the 'tcl' package does not comntain a /bin/tcl or anytjhing named tcl -it has 2 binaries in it. (checking package manager) | 22:37 |
| Dr_Willis | JonathanYC: try the command 'tcl8.4 whatever.tcl' perhaps? | 22:38 |
| JonathanYC | Also, the tcl version provided by the repository seems to not be able to run this TI provided script | 22:38 |
| JonathanYC | Dr_Willis: Yeah, tclsh seems to work | 22:38 |

| Dr_Willis | tesuji: 'bin | 22:38 |
| cablop | dasei, the downloaded installer or the other one? | 22:38 |
| Dr_Willis | tesuji: 'bin' as in 'tash can' perhaps. | 22:38 |

| tesuji | Dr_Willis, i do not understand you | 22:39 |
| haresh | DasEi, cant be i can load other and run windows all using it | 22:39 |
| DasEi | haresh: the cd starts bootin, then stops ? | 22:39 |
| Dr_Willis | tesuji: the term 'bin' = 'a container' | 22:39 |
| tesuji | Dr_Willis, i need a pastebin site for binaries | 22:40 |
| JonathanYC | Fine, I'll actually ask the whole question: | 22:40 |
| purpleHaze | h | 22:40 |
| haresh | DasEi, it gose thru but then stuck on the mounting part and ask me to look for the path | 22:40 |
| JonathanYC | Has anyone here had success working with the eZ430 on ubuntu? | 22:40 |
| Dr_Willis | tesuji: i use drop.io for that . or ubuntu one. but i rarely need tio share binaries | 22:40 |
| cablop | it says it can't run in runlevel 1 dasei | 22:40 |
| tesuji | dr_willis what about for screen shots to do diagnostics? | 22:40 |
| === rootcop is now known as trineox | ||
| DasEi | cablop: ah sure, the modules won't be laoded there, exit, resume normal boot, log in in cmd line | 22:41 |
| tesuji | Dr_Willis, will pastebin work with drop.io | 22:41 |
| Dr_Willis | tesuji: drop.io can do that. and no drop.io is more then jsut a text pasteing service.. | 22:41 |
| cablop | ok, in shell now and installing... DasEi | 22:42 |

I would like to use the machine for web browsing and some word processing in another room for my dad to use. Thanks | 22:42 |

| cablop | the installed ran it at the end... f that's the thing to create a xorg.conf | 22:44 |
| haresh | DasEi, it gose thru but then stuck on the mounting part and ask me to look for the path | 22:44 |
| magicianlord | when will this be fixed | 22:44 |
| th0r | magicianlord: just as soon as nvidia supplies sufficient information for some programmer to write a decent driver. Feel free to contact them and request that | 22:45 |
| cablop | magicianlord: i think it's not an nvidia problem, but ubuntu forcing all of us to use plymouth | 22:45 |
| DasEi | haresh: that's a little weird, I have no idea for now, apart from: | 22:45 |
| DasEi | !bootoptions | 22:45 |
| ubottu | For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 22:45 |
| magicianlord | [thor]: we plan to conference call with nvidia about that | 22:45 |
| magicianlord | cablop: that is a big problem. ubuntu is no longer about choice | 22:46 |
| cablop | :( | 22:46 |
| Dr_Willis | The boot animation is a big problem? | 22:46 |
| cablop | yes, it is | 22:46 |
| cablop | not all of us need it, it interfers tooooooo much when trying to figure out what's happening to your drivers or boot or kernel at boot up | 22:47 |
| bogeyd6 | Where can I go to see the list of updates for a particular ubuntu version, preferably in date order. | 22:47 |
| cablop | and if it crashes while you are dealing with a video broken dribver, it could leave your card into a non good state | 22:47 |

| Dante123 | not twice that? | 22:55 |
| erUSUL | Dante123: not needed | 22:55 |
| Dante123 | ok | 22:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Dante123: it depends on your ussage.. if you use hibnernate/suspend - perhaps 1gb or more.. | 22:55 |
| Dante123 | it is a laptop | 22:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Dante123: if you got 1000000GB of HD space.. does it matter :) | 22:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Dante123: so it all depends on how you are going to use it. I would say 1gb then. | 22:56 |
| Dante123 | only have 30 gb to play with for /, /home and swap | 22:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Dante123: at a min. 512mb. if HD space is tight. | 22:56 |
| Dante123 | i think i will go 1gb....might use suspend/hibernate | 22:56 |
| Dante123 | thanks for advice | 22:57 |

| thune3 | 256MB is a tough squeeze for any variation of ubuntu. Of x/k/ubuntu, xubuntu would be the only one that might work. If there is any way to get to 512MB/1GB (cannibalize another machine), that would help greatly. | 23:05 |
| Gto286 | no i,m using the ubuntu. no X | 23:05 |

| fidess | hi from Abidjan | 23:05 |
| Aemaeth | Dasda, he has 512, with 256 i'm not sure if ubuntu will even install, xubuntu needs less ram for install | 23:06 |
| Dasda | thune3: would creating a swap file work? the pc does have 2 hdds in it. One being 120gb and other is 250gb | 23:06 |
| kc8pxy | thune3: it's an rv710 | 23:06 |
| Dasda | same question for you Aemaeth, would a swap file work? | 23:07 |
| thune3 | kc8pxy: is that one that supports fglrx? | 23:08 |
| Gto286 | Dasda, i would reccommend you try the Xubuntu on that machine since you so low on the memmory on that machine. | 23:08 |

| cage_raphel | Dasda: i would suggest u run " puppy Linux" .. it runs well on machines with low memory | 23:09 |
| Aemaeth | i have an old rack mounted server that had 256 and ubuntu wouldn't even install without it being xubuntu | 23:09 |
| Patric3 | gra5si: 10.04 | 23:09 |
| Gto286 | i have puppy. but i find it more a ultility then a o/s | 23:09 |
| Dasda | Gto286, yea i will give xubuntu a try instead then. really would have loved to run ubuntu b/c of the tremendous suppor available as I will need it as a new user | 23:09 |
| cablop | ok, time to rest for a while | 23:09 |
| cablop | see you | 23:09 |
| cablop | and thanks | 23:09 |
| Aemaeth | maybe you could play with settings after the xubuntu install if you feel it's missing something from ubuntu, but idk if it could gnome, felt pretty much the same | 23:09 |
| Gto286 | well Dasda up the anty to at least 512. then you can run the reg ubuntu | 23:10 |
| kc8pxy | thune3: yes.. i had fglrx runnign for at least a week now. i recently upgraded from 8.04 and yesterday was the first update manager notice since. now i have the random resets. | 23:10 |
| gra5si | Patric3: i don't seem to use compiz... sorry | 23:10 |
| Patric3 | np | 23:10 |
| cage_raphel | Dasda: did u try the " Damn Small Linux " | 23:10 |
| Dasda | Gto286: the mobo only supports rd ram and that has been discontinued | 23:10 |
| haresh | how to edit my source.list | 23:10 |
| Gto286 | ah! ok | 23:10 |
| Dasda | <cage_raphel: no haven't tried anything yet, I just use xp for now | 23:11 |
| gra5si | is it possible to revert to an old package that has been updated? | 23:11 |
| gra5si | i think an update of the usb-libs has screwed my sound-stuff... and would like to go back before that libusb-update on 10.4 | 23:12 |
| iceroot | gra5si: if you have the old package, yes | 23:12 |
| Dasda | i'lll run xubuntu on vmware on my windows 7 machine to see how it is | 23:12 |
| cage_raphel | Dasda: i seriously recommend damn small linux.. i have an another machine with 128 MB ram.. and a celeron processor.. damn small linux goes zooom on mine! | 23:12 |
| Aemaeth | rd ram? dell? | 23:12 |
| iceroot | gra5si: but normally you will have big fights with dependencies | 23:12 |
| gra5si | iceroot: the question is, do I have the old package.. | 23:12 |
| gra5si | iceroot: it was just a minor security update... | 23:12 |
| Dasda | Aemaeth: no it was a custom build about 10 years ago, it was from rambus in partnership with intel | 23:12 |
| iceroot | gra5si: the repo dont have the old package, so you have to find the old version | 23:12 |
| Gto286 | for me tho i have no dvd support :( i get errors like mpeg ect spit at me... | 23:12 |
| gra5si | iceroot: guess it was installed when i used the cd | 23:13 |
| thune3 | kc8pxy: it sounds like X is crashing, and one prime suspect is video drivers. I might try reinstalling video drivers, but I can't think of a rational reason why that might help. You might also boot into the kernel that existed before updates (hold shift during boot and select older kernel) to see if that helps | 23:13 |
| gra5si | iceroot: thanks anyway | 23:13 |

| LinuxGuy2009 | c3l: Listing is ok if I want to manually download each one. Is there any way to feed the list of deps to download them all? | 23:20 |
| Aemaeth | Guest88088, depends on the themes, can try right clicking the desktop to get your appearance settings, or use the system tab, and it has a section for importing themes | 23:21 |
| c3l | LinuxGuy2009: you want to foreceinstall dependencies that are already there? I dont think there is something that does that by default, I guess theres a better solution to your problem | 23:21 |
| thune3 | kc8pxy: i feel there is a better answer and I haven't found it | 23:21 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | c3l: Well no I dont want to re-install them at all. I just need a way to download a package, for example, VLC media player, and have it download to a folder along with every single dependency. | 23:22 |
| c3l | LinuxGuy2009: what is it you want to achieve? | 23:22 |
| BluesKaj | !kiba | 23:22 |
| kc8pxy | thune3: thanks for responding to my plee for help. ubuntu works pretty nice, but comming here to get help usually feels as simple, easy, and painless as pulling teeth from a shark. | 23:23 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | c3l: I want to make an offline repo CD/DVD with APTonCD that contains Gnome, KDE, fluxbox, etc, along with many apps, and I want to make sure that no matter which desktop environment I install that non of the dependencies were missed when making the disk. | 23:24 |
| maco | LinuxGuy2009: i'd start from a minimal install with none of them, then install ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop, fluxbox, and the other apps, then point aptoncd at your /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 23:25 |
| === tyler is now known as Guest67474 | ||
| maco | LinuxGuy2009: sudo aptitude install --download-only foo <--- thatll download without installing | 23:25 |
| thune3 | kc8pxy: just requires patience, you might try again in 15 minutes! if you can look at logs dmesg /var/log/syslog /var/log/Xorg.0.log after an incident you _might_ find some clues. You might just run updates again, just in case. | 23:25 |
| kermit | what's the typical motive for someone to submit patches? | 23:25 |
| haresh | can i install ubuntu without any cd or usb ??? | 23:25 |
| maco | kermit: because it doesnt work and they want it to | 23:26 |
| maco | haresh: yes, pxe installs are supported | 23:26 |
| haresh | how can i go about doing that ? | 23:26 |
| thune3 | kc8pxy: all the issues I could find don't seem to apply to your specific case. | 23:26 |
| will_ | Guys, Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop crashes to a blinking cursor after a while and my caps lock led starts blinking, can anyone help me with this? | 23:26 |
| erUSUL | kermit: becouse it is cool to say that you have a patch in the kernel ;P | 23:26 |
| c3l | maco: it seems that doesnt grab all dependencies, as I guess LinuxGuy2009 ran taht | 23:27 |
| maco | will_: that's a kernel panic. it's a bug | 23:27 |
| kermit | i'm still confused as to how all this software comes about :/ | 23:27 |
| maco | c3l: it wont grab ones already installed. thats why i said start at a minimal install | 23:27 |
| magicianlord | kermit: what | 23:27 |
| Brack10 | Hey | 23:27 |
| maco | kermit: #ubuntu-offtopic is the place for this | 23:27 |
| Brack10 | Booting Ubuntu on different hardware than I installed it on. Ethernet is missing. How can I get it back? | 23:27 |
| kc8pxy | thune3: yeah.. i seem to get that alot. it's probably a reason i use gentoo most often. all the problems in the system are then my fault, and not the result of an "update" :-( | 23:27 |
| maco | kermit: but i suggest reading "Just For Fun" and "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" | 23:28 |
| will_ | maco: that's what I tought, but is there a way to fix that, is it specific to some systems | 23:28 |
| kermit | maco: i thought this was the entire point of ubuntu | 23:28 |

| husimon | hey i have an image someone gave me and when I try and load it up with kvm i get "kvm: unhandled exit 4400 kvm_run returned -22" | 23:28 |
| husimon | any ideas? | 23:28 |
| kermit | maco: ...if thats off-topic, then i'm even more confused | 23:28 |
| maco | will_: itll likely be a bug in how the kernel supports *your specific hardware* yeah. so you need to file a bug | 23:28 |
| c3l | maco: ah, but there must be a way to do it without installing a new system | 23:28 |
| maco | kermit: this channel is only for tech support | 23:28 |
| husimon | err i guess this is a bit off topic but i'm running it in ubuntu :P | 23:28 |
| kermit | maco: oh | 23:28 |
| Brack10 | erUSUL: do you want the output or something? | 23:28 |
| maco | c3l: vm? | 23:28 |
| erUSUL | Brack10: yep | 23:28 |
| c3l | maco: still | 23:28 |
| will_ | maco: well ok i'll do that, thanks :) | 23:29 |
| Brack10 | erUSUL: It found my Ethernet card. Too long to type | 23:29 |
| delaney_ | hi | 23:29 |
| Brack10 | Intel 82545EM Gigabit Ethernet | 23:29 |
| maco | c3l: there are tools to get dependency graphs. could feed one of those into aptitude's --download-only | 23:29 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | maco: Biggest issue I think I may run into is if I use APTonCD to make a repo disk with apps installed on gnome environment, and then strip ouyt gnome and throw on KDE, that when I go to install one of the packages I put on the disk when I was in gnome, then maybe KDE might say hey your missing some stuff. | 23:30 |
| c3l | how do I show the 'special permissions' , the zeroth field in the octal number? | 23:30 |
| maco | LinuxGuy2009: thats why im saying to start at a minimal install. that is, one that doesnt yet have even X on it | 23:30 |
| maco | LinuxGuy2009: *just* ubuntu-minimal | 23:30 |
| erUSUL | Brack10: « sudo modprobe e1000 » | 23:30 |
| haresh | how can i go about doing that ? | 23:30 |
| maco | LinuxGuy2009: then your repo cd will have everything that goes on top of it | 23:30 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | maco: Ok that sounds like a bulletproof way of doing it. | 23:30 |
| maco | will_: you can file a bug with "ubuntu-bug linux" | 23:31 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | maco: Thank you. | 23:31 |
| pradeep | hi everyone | 23:31 |
| maco | will_: have a look at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Apport#How%20to%20enable%20apport for how to enable the crash-detector | 23:31 |
| maco | will_: if you use that, there's a chance itll catch a dump of what went wrong with the kernel which you can include in the bug report next time it happens | 23:32 |
| erUSUL | Brack10: does eth0 appear now ? | 23:32 |
| Brack10 | erUSUL: not in ifconfig... | 23:32 |
| erUSUL | Brack10: "dmesg | tail -n20" shows any error ? | 23:33 |
| Brack10 | erUSUL: no, it says a bunch of profile_load actions for network related stuff | 23:35 |
| Brack10 | no errors | 23:35 |
| will_ | maco: my comp just crashed again | 23:35 |
| will_ | maco: I just finished rebooting | 23:36 |
| maco | will_: is there any method to the madness? | 23:36 |
| erUSUL | well according to http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/E1000.html e1000 is the driver for you nick; dunno why it does not work | 23:36 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | maco: Whats the easist way to strip ubuntu down to minimal? tasksel and uncheck everything? Or aptitude? | 23:36 |
| digitalfiz | can anyone tell me where the nautilus scripts are stored? | 23:36 |
| will_ | maco: sorry, what? | 23:36 |
| maco | LinuxGuy2009: i think just installing a minimal vm will be the easiest thing | 23:36 |
| maco | !mini | LinuxGuy2009 | 23:36 |
| ubottu | LinuxGuy2009: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 23:36 |
| c3l | LinuxGuy2009: easiest way is to insatll a new minimal install | 23:36 |
| coz_ | LinuxGuy2009, mm well you could start in synaptic to uninstall things | 23:37 |
| maco | will_: is there a pattern to when it crashes? like, when your hard disk is in heavy use? high network traffic? connecting to wifi? starting open office? | 23:37 |
| coz_ | LinuxGuy2009, other than that I believe there is a version of ubuntu that is stripped down I cant recall its name | 23:37 |
| DasEi | LinuxGuy2009: use minimal installer, expert install, install no soft at all, then afterwards just desired packages from cmd-line | 23:37 |
| DasEi | !minimal | 23:37 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 23:37 |
| will_ | maco: not really | 23:37 |
| coz_ | DasEi, ah yes that is a good way :) | 23:38 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Ok yeah minimal in a Vbox would make it very easy to do this. Thanks thats a great idea. | 23:38 |
| DasEi | there you go | 23:38 |
| SH-Chris | Hi, i seem to have a problem when i start ubuntu | 23:38 |
| SH-Chris | My display cuts out whenever i load ubuntu but teh audio works | 23:38 |

| richthegeek | hey, my system is using 82% of RAM as a cache - considering I have 8gb of RAM, this seems excessive... I'm not doing any disk writes (so no bursting), but am playing a DVD | 23:38 |
| DasEi | SH-Chris: which g-card ? | 23:39 |
| will_ | maco: i'll file it and hope people will help | 23:39 |
| SH-Chris | DasEi: GeForce 6150 LE | 23:39 |
| coz_ | richthegeek, dvd accounts for some of it but that does seem excessive | 23:39 |
| will_ | maco: thanks a lot for caring | 23:39 |
| SH-Chris | DasEi: Built in chipset | 23:39 |
| richthegeek | coz_: yes indeed - also happens when I've got an NTFS drive mounted | 23:39 |
| DasEi | richthegeek: look up htop, sort pid's for mem to track the "eater" | 23:39 |
| DasEi | (F6) | 23:40 |

| pittstains1 | there's a command to monitor when devices (USB, etc) are plugged in or unplugged, but i can't remember what it is | 23:41 |

| DasEi | pittstains1: lsusb ? | 23:41 |
| coz_ | richthegeek, well its not using much of anything here when I attache an external with ntfs or ext4 or fat32 for that matter | 23:41 |
| SH-Chris | DasEi: I think so, i dont have any spare video cards and its a built in chipset with teh motehr board itself | 23:41 |
| erUSUL | pittstains1: tailf /var/log/messages | 23:41 |
| llvllonk | I did that yesterday, didn't work for me | 23:41 |

| SH-Chris | DasEi: Im not on Ubuntu now, im on windows | 23:42 |

| richthegeek | coz_: seems to be rhythmbox which is looking at my music on an ntfs drive | 23:42 |
| will_ | maco: I just realized that my fan runs terribly slow | 23:42 |

| Aemaeth | i found out how to have multiple wallpapers on gnome | 23:43 |
| llvllonk | oh yea...it said my adapter only works in PIO mode for now? | 23:43 |

| basemonkey | is there a irc channel for damnvulnerablelinux? | 23:43 |
| Aemaeth | it's easy, why would someone tell me otherwise? INTERNET! | 23:43 |

| ikonia | basemonkey: this channel is for serious ubuntu discussion only | 23:43 |

| DasEi | SH-Chris: safer bet is live cd and a chroot in the hd-os | 23:53 |
| DasEi | !chroot | 23:53 |
| ubottu | A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 23:53 |

| DasEi | igms: which ati ? | 23:55 |
| rideh | ikonia: if i wanted to align the bottom of my 1920x1080 with the bottom of my 1152x2048 i'd want to +1920 + 1080 right? | 23:55 |
| ikonia | rideh: I'd have to work it out, I've not done a hardcoded dual screen layout for a long time now | 23:56 |

| Aemaeth | recordmydesktop can be ok with the right settings, datacrusher, i think i had best luck with encode-on-the-fly | 23:56 |
| coz_ | octavio, what do you mean? | 23:56 |
