| Dr_Willis | razz1: shareing the virrent visible desktop is going to be more sluggish then haveing a 'seperate hidden desktop' , FreeNX will give even better perforamce. but its harder to setup | 00:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Xase: yeah but I'm after an actual app to plug into that, transdroid on adroid allows you to open torrents and it will tell the server to download the file/s | 00:00 |

| Marouane | hello | 00:03 |
| tripelb | ubuntu, mgolisch spinningcompass not detected in ubuntu gui, only gparted --- still unallocated in gparted | 00:03 |
| razz1 | Dr_Willis: tried to setup freenx, but the setupnx file was missing when I installed freenx, to fix this I would have had to get that file from ubuntu forums, someone posted it there, I don't want to that. Not sure whether it's wise to use executable files from forums!! I already have a secure ssh to the remote machine using keys. | 00:03 |
| spinningcompass | tripelb: If the disk itself is visible in gparted but no partitions are showing up elsewhere, that suggests that the disk hasn't been partitioned or perhaps the partitions haven't been formatted. | 00:03 |
| spinningcompass | tripelb: Do you know how to partition and format a hard disk? If so, that'll be your next step (if you're sure you don't have data on that disk). | 00:04 |
| tripelb | spinningcompass: right. I understand that but the word _format_ does not occur in the menus??? lost soul=me | 00:04 |
| Dr_Willis | razz1: ther is also an amterantive to freenx, but i forget its name. saw it on the (confuseing) nx ubuntu wiki page. | 00:05 |
| Dr_Willis | razz1: if its a linux to linux box. uyou could just ssh -X in and run whatever app you wanted. No need to have a full desktop going | 00:05 |
| spinningcompass | tripelb: Ah. OK. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jT8n9PKiFE | 00:05 |
| Dr_Willis | the whole NX system is a littel.. confuseing :) | 00:06 |
| marekw2143 | hi, how to invoke from the console app finder? | 00:06 |
| tripelb | spinningcompass: this is a brand new 1T HD, I have only formatted in MS fdisk and when ubuntu installs on a(n already formatted) disk | 00:06 |
| marekw2143 | I need app to find app that finds app :) | 00:06 |
| spinningcompass | tripelb: YouTube has a four-minute tutorial on the subject. Did you get the URL that I posted? | 00:07 |
| ilovefairuz | marekw2143: software center? | 00:07 |
| razz1 | Dr_Willis: neatnx, or the nomachine proprietary one, yep I use x-forwarding via ssh most of the time, but the users on the remote system are not computer savvy . I will need access to their desktop to show them stuff | 00:07 |
| tripelb | spinningcompass: ok will watch.. oh no I cant. I am on a liveCD and have no ability to watch youtube (I think) because of no-flash (flash=nonfree) - I can understand text. lol | 00:07 |
| marekw2143 | ilovefairuz: I don't know its name | 00:07 |
| Dr_Willis | marekw2143: clarify what you mean by 'find' | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Xase: theres transgui :). There's a PPA for it | 00:07 |
| spinningcompass | tripelb: Click on the partition. The drop-down menu will include "Format to" as a submenu. | 00:08 |
| tripelb | oh | 00:08 |
| ilovefairuz | marekw2143: it's in applications menu | 00:08 |
| marekw2143 | Dr_Willis: maybe other - I want find app to find files that has some text inside | 00:08 |
| Xase | nice | 00:08 |
| marekw2143 | ilovefairuz: I have blackbox | 00:08 |
| Dr_Willis | marekw2143: so you want to 'find a string' in different files . | 00:08 |
| Xase | still personally trying to get help with my oversca issue | 00:08 |
| marekw2143 | Dr_Willis: yes | 00:09 |
| marekw2143 | DrWillis: and there is some graph app for that, but can't remember its name | 00:09 |
| gafir | hello, does anybody know of an application on ubuntu with tv channel streaming etc? | 00:09 |
| razz1 | Dr_Willis: i asked around which implementation would be most responsive, most of them suggested I try different options and pick one myself. Thats what I am doin | 00:09 |
| rlankfo | i guess packages are called apps these days | 00:09 |
| gafir | maybe an application with video shoutcast like the kind you get on winamp? | 00:09 |
| Xase | i thi k my daughtee has somethingbin her throat but not her obstructing her throat. shoulx i induce vomitting? | 00:10 |

| rimanluis | não consigo configurar vidalia tor | 00:10 |
| psycho789 | what can I use to make flow charts and stuff, kinda like MS Visio | 00:10 |
| rlankfo | Xase: you should ask else where | 00:10 |
| Xase | i meant to dude | 00:10 |
| ilovefairuz | ActionParsnip: it's in the preferences dialog | 00:10 |
| Xase | my ocerscan issue blows i cant click oyher channels | 00:10 |
| Xase | damnit i just closed the othee one | 00:10 |
| rlankfo | Xase: call a doctor | 00:11 |
| tripelb | spinningcompass: OK here I go. (format to=grey) picked new, "create new partition". ext2 is default. Should I just leave the defaults? (Do I need to make a primary and extended or logical partition so I can break it up later? This is my memory from the ooold DOS days, lol) | 00:11 |
| ActionParsnip | ilovefairuz: yep but i want an app to connect to the web interface :) | 00:11 |
| razz1 | Dr_Willis: when I ssh the remote system, and enter something like "evince xyz.pdf" at the remote machine's command prompt, xyz.pdf doesn't open on the remote machine's desktop. any guess why? | 00:11 |
| ActionParsnip | ilovefairuz: its a server, no gui | 00:11 |
| Xase | it was a theoretical question for another channel | 00:12 |
| ilovefairuz | ActionParsnip: there's an ncurses interface | 00:12 |

| spinningcompass | tripelb: I mean, you're asking a good question, but the short answer is, "You don't need to partition it unless you need to partition it." :) You "need" to partition it if you want to make it harder for other users to accidentally crash the server, or if you want to make it easier for you to add more disks later, or if you're a control freak. :) You pick. :) | 00:13 |
| nul | I can't get the live CD, or installed OS to boot with my satelite card (PCI) inside, but it works completely otherwise. I had thought maybe the card was defective, so I installed windows XP, where it not only works but also finds and can watch channels etc.. | 00:13 |

| * dddw trusten | 00:14 | |
| ActionParsnip | duffydack: use a proxy ;) | 00:14 |
| duffydack | ActionParsnip, or just not use torrent? | 00:15 |
| Dr_Willis | use torrents legally.. and annoy them :) | 00:15 |
| ilovefairuz | ActionParsnip: all the interfaces talk to the daemon | 00:15 |
| Dr_Willis | many of the MMORPG's out are using torrent features to push theior updates | 00:15 |
| duffydack | yeah, I could seed ubuntu for like 6 months | 00:15 |
| duffydack | non stop | 00:15 |
| nul | So anyone else have a similar issue? PCI satelite card causing ubuntu not to boot at all? | 00:16 |
| tripelb | spinningcompass: This is my new big drive. I'm not smart enough (yet) to know why and what I want to do. I have several sets of data (40/40/10/120G/backup DVDs/CDs) to be compied and integrated. I know that I will want partitions later if not now. Right, I want to be able to redo the system without losing data etc. ((I also have a Windows 40G connected so that grub will make it a dual boot- or so I understand) | 00:16 |
| duffydack | I`m sure with their incompetence I`d get some letter warning me of being banned | 00:16 |
| spinningcompass | tripelb: Do you keep Windows on a separate drive? | 00:16 |
| tripelb | spinningcompass: yes. | 00:16 |
| razz1 | Dr_Willis: but -X is for forwarding X, what I am trying to do is just open a pdf (it's already present in the remote's home folder,) on the remote machine | 00:16 |
| Dr_Willis | razz1: and you want it to appear on teh remote box? or locally? | 00:17 |

| razz1 | Dr_Willis: on the remote box | 00:17 |
| Xase | godd | 00:17 |
| Dr_Willis | razz1: you need to set your DISPLAY and 'xhost' settings properly | 00:17 |
| trism | razz1: DISPLAY=:0.0 evince xyz.pdf; substituting the correct DISPLAY, although that is probably right | 00:17 |
| tripelb | spinningcompass: there is no "keep" this is all new and changeable. I put windows on one drive (cause this dell does have legal windows) so that I can do some things: use my webcam with skype, Photoshop Essentials. Play games that are on movie dvd's. More? | 00:18 |
| duffydack | sshfs | 00:18 |
| spinningcompass | tripelb: Ubuntu will make recommendations for the partitioning of your drive, when you double-click on "Install". | 00:18 |
| spinningcompass | tripelb: The easiest thing is to install it the way Ubuntu recommends. It will offer to put the OS across the entire (new) drive. Say 'yes'. :) | 00:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive seen some 'new' machines with win7 that are using 4 primary partitions allready. :() that makes it a bit harder. | 00:18 |
| Jordan_U | aeon-ltd: apt doesn't use md5 for authenticating packages, and relying on what appears to be a "known" source on the internet isn't real security. | 00:19 |
| tripelb | spinningcompass: so if it is not partitioned and not seen by the gui but only by gparted, I am ready to install? or not yet? | 00:19 |
| duffydack | razz1, use samba or ssh and nautilus to mount the sshfs | 00:19 |
| spinningcompass | tripelb: Well, strictly, Ubuntu *should* say, "Hey, this drive is blank. May I put Ubuntu on here?" | 00:19 |
| kballash | hey everyone I just downloaded blender a 2d cad program i get the tar.bz2 file and it opens in my file viewer but won't I can't seem to run. (Newbit here) | 00:19 |
| Jordan_U | aeon-ltd: So using apt with bittorrent (which is possible today) is perfectly secure. | 00:19 |
| spinningcompass | tripelb: If it doesn't, then we'll talk about it, but I think Ubuntu will offer to use the blank, unformatted, unpartitioned drive. | 00:19 |
| duffydack | razz1, no X`in needed | 00:19 |
| Dr_Willis | kballash: blender isent really a 'cad' app. | 00:19 |

| nul | no flash 10.1? | 00:31 |
| Dr_Willis | down with flash :) | 00:31 |
| duffydack | 32bit works for me.. but 64bit security holey worked better | 00:31 |
| ActionParsnip | gnoob: System -> prefs -> sound | 00:31 |
| spinningcompass | tripelb: The extended partition is an old DOS hangover. It's a place where you can put multiple logical partitions. In your situation, I would use *one* primary partition and *one* swap partition. If you delete all partitions and then run the Ubuntu Live Installer, it should partition the disk for you. | 00:31 |
| extraclassic | Dr_Willis: your suggestion worked...I appreciate the help | 00:31 |
| gnoob | but from commandline? Im sshing into a ltsp ubuntu server | 00:31 |
| ActionParsnip | nul: sure if you use 32bit + wrapper. If you install flashplugin-nonfree it will all be handled for you | 00:31 |
| nul | k :)\ | 00:32 |
| Dr_Willis | extraclassic: great.. what was the probolem? i forget.. | 00:32 |
| extraclassic | floppy controller was enabled in the bios even though I don't have a floppy drive | 00:32 |
| nul | it's mostly an HTPC with additional capabilities hehe | 00:32 |
| extraclassic | so the ubuntu install froze | 00:32 |
| ActionParsnip | gnoob: set no sounds | 00:32 |
| Dr_Willis | extraclassic: :) yep. the good old days | 00:32 |
| Luija1006 | Dr_Willis: I added the repo and still could not find the java, also the link to your pages guides to install icedtea java | 00:32 |
| gnoob | ActionParsnip hmm dont remeber how.. Tried the alsamixer.. but after a restart it went back to "standard" | 00:33 |
| spinningcompass | tripelb: http://www.mepisguides.com/Mepis-6/Install/gparted/gparted-set-partition.html | 00:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Luija1006: tried this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-install-sun-java-runtime-environment-jre-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html | 00:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Luija1006: enable the repos.. and you did 'update' the package listing? You could use 'synaptic' for a nice gui for all this | 00:33 |
| extraclassic | Dr_Willis: I can't believe it was set up like that, cause it's only a year old and I got it build to order | 00:33 |
| duffydack | me guessing no apt-get update | 00:33 |
| spinningcompass | Dr_Willis: Didn't you hear? Nice GUIs finish last. ;) | 00:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive never had any issues with the icedtea java. SO i rarely bother with the sun jkava | 00:33 |
| DOUglas | oi | 00:33 |
| Dr_Willis | extraclassic: proberly the bios defaults.. | 00:34 |
| wildman | hello #ubuntu | 00:35 |
| ilovefairuz | !hi | wildman | 00:35 |
| ubottu | wildman: 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! | 00:35 |
| wildman | hello #ubuntu. Is there any way to 'downgrade' from ext4 to ext3 without data loss? | 00:35 |
| wildman | ilovefairuz: Fairuz... my mother listened to her all the time :) | 00:36 |
| duffydack | wildman, no | 00:36 |
| haugmeir | Where can I ask/find information about indicator-messages and libindicate? I'm trying to query whether there are unread messages in the Messaging Menu so that I can display that information in xmobar. I'm not sure if I can get that information from libindicate, and I've gotten pretty confused reading libindicate-doc. | 00:36 |
| wildman | duffydack: sigh... I guess I'll have to find another 1TB disk to backup this one then :(((( thx | 00:36 |
| ilovefairuz | wildman: please ask only ubuntu questions here, come to #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics :) | 00:36 |
| wildman | well, I'm running on Ubuntu, so this, albeit a general Linux question, does matter on Ubuntu :) | 00:37 |
| Luija1006 | ActionParsnip: Dr_Willis thanks guys :) | 00:37 |
| ilovefairuz | wildman: and no you can't downgrade, the filesystem format is different | 00:37 |
| wildman | ilovefairuz, duffydack: ok, thanks a lot, and sorry if I've done an OT ;) | 00:37 |
| wildman | have a nice night/day/whatever fits for your timezone! | 00:37 |
| duffydack | wildman, cp -av stuff /elsewhere; mkfs.ext3 /dev/hmm; cp -av /elsewhere stuff/ | 00:37 |
| wildman | yep, I need 'only' 1TB 'somewhere' to do that ;) | 00:38 |
| duffydack | wildman, heh | 00:38 |
| wildman | little kid bath time, bbl | 00:38 |
| duffydack | wildman, floppy disks.. | 00:38 |
| duffydack | sorry :) | 00:38 |

| Jinxzs | thanks slart | 00:43 |
| Slart | Jinxzs: you're welcome | 00:43 |
| spinningcompass | I really should tinker w/ Mondo again. | 00:44 |
| x86br | pleaaase,..ehhehehe rtl8191se works or not on ubuntu | 00:44 |
| x86br | who know? | 00:44 |
| psycho_oreos | try it yourself | 00:44 |
| ilovefairuz | dickybob: post this stuff to #ubuntu-offtopic, not here | 00:44 |
| tripelb | spinningcompass - ah, thanks. meanwhile I found another page. it assumed lshw would see the disk, which it cant. -- I mess around some more. I didnt click the "checkmark". <bold> This is Damn Obscure.</bold> I would expect a dialog box for confirmation. Now it is actually doing something that takes some time (which is what I would expect on a new terabite drive. ((I have a heckle with the workflow, clearly. But I will slog through it! | 00:45 |
| ilovefairuz | x86br: pastebin: lshw -C netwrok | 00:45 |
| ilovefairuz | !details | x86br | 00:45 |
| ubottu | x86br: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 00:45 |
| spinningcompass | tripelb: Cool. May the force be with you. :) | 00:46 |
| tripelb | spinningcompass: thanks. I'll return to install it later. That 15 minute install on a new drive estimate I got from Dr_Willis was off by many-time, hah. | 00:46 |
| tripelb | spinningcompass: and also with you! | 00:46 |
| orbisvicis | how exactly do I install packages from a different release again ? | 00:46 |
| orbisvicis | apt-get install release/pkgname ? | 00:46 |
| x86br | Not problem yet. Downloading now the Ubuntu 10. Just wanna know if the wireless card realtek8191se works out of box. | 00:47 |
| Slart | orbisvicis: man apt-get should tell you the specifics | 00:47 |
| x86br | alright, be right back. Let me test the ubuntu and let us know | 00:47 |
| ilovefairuz | x86br: that's the right way! | 00:47 |
| wildman | duffydack: hehe, indeed... I do have some 3.5in floppies around... just not enough ;) | 00:49 |
| LetsGo67 | How much should I sell my computer for in CADs? I have Pentium 4 3ghz faster than Speedy Gonzales, 512MB RAM memory. | 00:49 |
| LetsGo67 | Sorry I meant to join #ubuntu--offtopic. | 00:49 |
| wildman | ilovefairuz: now comes an Ubuntu-10.04-only Q ;-) I've inadvertently wiped out the upper panel having the speaker, and docking area for some apps, like Transmission, how can I get it back? | 00:50 |
| wildman | upper panel -> applet in the upper panel | 00:50 |
| ilovefairuz | !panels | wildman | 00:51 |
| ubottu | wildman: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 00:51 |
| wildman | ilovefairuz: thanks a lot | 00:51 |
| Jordan_U | wildman: Right click > Add to panel > Notification Area | 00:51 |
| wildman | ah, better than lossing my current setup with ilovefairuz's tip | 00:51 |
| wildman | let's see | 00:51 |
| wildman | Jordan_U: thx, it did the trick | 00:52 |
| wildman | ilovefairuz: thx to you too | 00:52 |
| Jordan_U | wildman: You're welcome. | 00:52 |
| wildman | Jordan_U, ilovefairuz: though indeed the recursive-unset one did actually fully reset it. The Notification Area doesn't have the volume applet, for example | 00:54 |
| Peter-C | I think my download is frozen :S | 00:54 |

| ChrisBuchholz | Hey - i wanna run ubuntu on my macbook pro - have tried it out before, but i don't think i got it just right with the whole booting process, setting up grub and EFI correctly, so i wanna do it over. Currently, my macbook pro runs OS X, and i'm looking for some guides, clues and the likes for setting up partitions correctly for running ubuntu. Do you know any of such? Thanks. Btw, i'm not gonna do a dual boot, so its just clean ubuntu on macbo | 00:55 |
| ChrisBuchholz | pro | 00:55 |
| ilovefairuz | wildman: gnome-volume-control | 00:55 |
| wildman | ilovefairuz: thx | 00:56 |
| Peter-C | what should I do? Can I just restart my laptop? | 00:56 |
| Peter-C | Or will it ruin my computer | 00:56 |
| ilovefairuz | Peter-C: won't likely ruin stuff | 00:56 |
| wildman | ok ppl, gotta go, thanks for your help! | 00:57 |
| thune3 | Peter-C: are you totally locked up? can you get tty (ctrl-alt-F1) | 00:57 |
| Peter-C | thune3 to late :/ | 00:58 |
| thune3 | Peter-C: fsck will run, but you will likely be fine | 00:58 |
| ilovefairuz | ChrisBuchholz: check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation | 00:59 |
| Peter-C | Everything looks ok :D | 00:59 |

| x86br | how i can boot using a external drive usb? | 01:03 |
| ilovefairuz | !unetbootin | x86br | 01:03 |
| ubottu | x86br: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 01:03 |
| x86br | i try use unetboot for make the external drive bootable | 01:03 |
| x86br | not pendrive,..i mean a usb external | 01:04 |
| ilovefairuz | x86br: i think it's essentially the same process, as long as the computer can boot from it | 01:04 |
| x86br | from pendrive works great,..but using external usb hd doesnt boot | 01:05 |
| Dr_Willis | x86br: Unetbootin can do that. or you could do a normal install to a exteranal usb hard drive | 01:05 |
| Dr_Willis | x86br: unetbootin will do a 'live cd' type setup on the HD. | 01:05 |
| Dr_Willis | x86br: that wonet let you save changes.. and it will be a LOT slower then a normal install | 01:06 |
| x86br | hmmm, let me try | 01:06 |
| Dr_Willis | if instgalling to a external HD. be SURE in teh last dialog of the installer - the advanced button. to tell it where to install grub to. You want the USB hd.. NOT the internal HD. | 01:06 |
| x86br | i want extract to external usb and use it for install to internal | 01:07 |
| x86br | like a pendrive,.. | 01:07 |
| Dr_Willis | x86br: then the unetbootin setup can do that. | 01:07 |
| TxMatt | http://s7icky.com/ufc/ufc-117-live-stream/ starts in 1 hour for those of you who want to watch it:) | 01:08 |
| Dr_Willis | TxMatt: and thats ubuntu related how exactly? | 01:08 |
| laughter | hey, I'm currently running bleachbit, it is removing abou 1.5 GB and it has been saying that it is cleaning the system for about 20 minutes? is this typical? | 01:09 |
| Dr_Willis | laughter: ive noticed it taking a VERY long time also.. i think it may be hanging, OR you selected the clean free area option | 01:09 |
| haugmeir | Is this the best IRC channel to ask about Ubuntu-specific APIs? Is there a better targeted channel? | 01:10 |
| Dr_Willis | haugmeir: theres may be some more specific ones.. but you can ask in here and perhaps get pointers to them | 01:10 |
| Dr_Willis | i dont do any programing :) (well very little) | 01:11 |
| laughter | Dr_Willis, i did select the free space option, the idea of freeing a gig of space sounded amazing. it warned it would slow things, but it's been chillin for a while | 01:11 |
| Dr_Willis | laughter: its actually overwriting the free space to 'securely delete' things from how i read the tooltops | 01:12 |
| x86br | brb, gona try boot using external hd | 01:12 |
| Dr_Willis | laughter: i think that option should proberly be disabled by default. :) its a little over paranoid | 01:12 |
| === Kyngd0m is now known as kingdom | ||
| test34 | haugmeir, maybe #ubuntu-devel ? | 01:12 |
| === kingdom is now known as kyngdom | ||
| laughter | Dr_Willis, yeah, that's what i was thinking, i have no secrets, so i will never run it again. i'll just give it some more time. thanks! | 01:13 |
| Dr_Willis | laughter: it would be nice if bleachbit also let you know the last time a 'fix' has been ran. I dont see the point in doing some of those cleaning tasks more then once a week :) | 01:13 |
| Dr_Willis | laughter: i got a 1TB HD.. so it was going to take it some time. :) | 01:13 |
| Jinxzs | i have 2 disk in gparted but i do see only 1 in mycomputer. i want to know where the ubuntu installed | 01:14 |
| haugmeir | test34: The channel list says that's for "Ubuntu development coordination", which sounds like it's meant for people who are actually working on developing Ubuntu, and not just people who want to mess with an API. I did try #ubuntu-app-devel, which was really the closest thing I could find. It's pretty quiet there. | 01:15 |
| laughter | Dr_Willis, true, i'm fairly religious about deleting old packages and the like, bleachbit will be added to the weekly cleaning! | 01:15 |
| stepenmac7 | How do I enable XAMCP support in my gdm? | 01:15 |
| Adventurer | This is perhaps a stupid question (it may or may not be OS specific, but since I'm building a linux rig I thought I'd ask it here). I am building a new computer, I have 2 x nVidia 8400GT graphics cards using two pci-express (x16) slots. Can I use both of them for quad monitor (they each have a dual head setup with one dvi and one vga port). I'd like to have quad monitor or something setup, but wasn't sure if I needed SLI. | 01:15 |
| unperson | I'm setting up key-based auth for ssh. My private key is password connected, but ideally I'd like to have access to it cached with some timeout. It looks like something like this happens by default with gnome-keyring-manager. How do I set a timeout period? Also, does this require gnome to be running for the caching to work? So, if I login remotely caching won't work? | 01:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Jinxzs: the / mountpoint is shown as 'Filesystem' here. you can check in /media/ and the mount command output to see where things are at. | 01:15 |
| unperson | (Somehow I'm guessing that the answer to my first question will involve gconf :-/ ) | 01:16 |
| laughter | Dr_Willis, a window popped up to prompt me that I have 0 bytes remaining and i should empty my trash, i hope that means bleachbit progress, or is this a bug? | 01:16 |
| unperson | stepenmac7, I'm guessing you mean XMDCP? | 01:16 |
| x86br | no advance | 01:16 |
| Dr_Willis | Adventurer: sli is for Hard core games normally. You shoudl be able to do 4 monitors also. | 01:17 |
| AndrewMC | laughter~ this is bleechbit working | 01:17 |
| x86br | on boot ask for boot mgr | 01:17 |
| AndrewMC | laughter~ dont worry | 01:17 |
| Adventurer | Dr_Willis, is there any special config in ubuntu needed for it to recognize the two seperate video cards? | 01:17 |
| Jinxzs | yea i could see it Dr_Willis | 01:17 |
| Adventurer | I'm just trying to decide if I should go out and buy another LCD monitor tonight :( | 01:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Adventurer: takes me all of 30 sec to run nvidia-config and get my multi=head monitor setups going | 01:17 |
| laughter | AndrewMC, thanks, oh no worries, it's my first time running it and i didnt know what was typical | 01:17 |
| AndrewMC | Adventurer~ there shoudnt be | 01:17 |
| Adventurer | Thanks a lot <3 | 01:18 |
| x86br | dr_willis master, whats wrong? on boot ask for boot mgr x.x | 01:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Adventurer: you got a Deskt big enough for 4 monitors? | 01:18 |
| Adventurer | Yeah, built a desk myself by hand lol | 01:18 |
| Dr_Willis | x86br: never heard/seen that errior message befor. Tell the channel the details | 01:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Adventurer: i saw a 'twin' monitor the other day. 2 Monitors with one 'stand' | 01:18 |
| Adventurer | was a little bit harder then "make desk" || "sudo make install desk" | 01:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Adventurer: 4x8 Plywood. and 2 sawhorses.. | 01:19 |
| Adventurer | lol, I got the plan for mine off some goat in a tree website.. can't remember the URL off hand. | 01:19 |
| x86br | well, ubuntu extracted using unetboot on external usb hd. Reboot and select the external usb and got this message. bootmgr | 01:19 |
| Adventurer | I've sunk 800$ into my rig now, so I'm hoping it's worth it lol. | 01:19 |
| Dr_Willis | x86br: You sure the pc is booting form the usb hd? it could be unetbooti messed up. I never use its 'instal,. to hard disk' type feature. I only use it with flash drives. | 01:20 |
| steevo_ | hello | 01:20 |
| unperson | stepenmac7, Or XDMCP, even. :-) I haven't used it (personally use NX), but this might get you started in the right direction: http://www.zolved.com/synapse/view_content/28158/Remote_Login_via_XDMCP_on_Ubuntu | 01:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Adventurer: by xmas it will be a $400 rig. | 01:20 |
| Ghosty | i am having authentication failure with su root, but i have the password set correctly, and can even login as root | 01:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Ghosty: perhaps 'sudo -s' ? | 01:20 |
| x86br | yes 100% sure. | 01:20 |
| Ghosty | i dont need to run as root | 01:20 |
| x86br | :S ill die with windows | 01:21 |
| Ghosty | i actually need to subtitute user | 01:21 |
| x86br | sad end heheheh | 01:21 |
| Adventurer | I know it will be :). AM3 Mobo, AMD Athlon II X4 Processor at 3.0Ghz. 2 x 2TB Sata HDD's, HDMI, USB3.0 Ports on the mobo, 2 x nVidia 8400GT, liquid cooling kit, antec 300 illuminated case, 2 x dvd burners. | 01:21 |
| Ghosty | Dr_Willis, i was using root as an example, i cannot su to any user | 01:21 |
| Ghosty | authentication failure | 01:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Ghosty: you are using the password of the User you are suing TO? | 01:22 |
| Ghosty | yes | 01:22 |
| Dr_Willis | SU-ing. :) su'ing ? :) | 01:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Ghosty: so if you 'sudo adduser billgates' and 'su billgates' it also fails eh? | 01:23 |
| Ghosty | ill try that now | 01:23 |
| stepenmac7 | I saw that. gdmsetup is different. I also use the xfce theme so it does not have an options menu | 01:24 |
| olskolirc | found it never mind thanks | 01:24 |
| Dr_Willis | stepenmac7: gdm2 in ubuntu has been radically changes since the older GDM. | 01:24 |
| stepenmac7 | I am only planning on viewing (to test my arch linux server) | 01:24 |
| Ghosty | Dr_Willis, yes it fails | 01:24 |
| steevo_ | what are the best media players for linux | 01:24 |
| rdavila | Hi guys, I've a mobile phone Nokia 1600: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_1600 connected to my pc and my question is how to I can see if the device has been recognized by ubuntu an get its device name under /dev ? | 01:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Ghosty: odd. makes me wonder what changes you did to the system | 01:25 |
| Dr_Willis | steevo_: depends on your exact needs. | 01:25 |
| stepenmac7 | Exactly, so I can't change it. Wait 5 min. | 01:25 |
| ActionParsnip | !players | steevo_ | 01:25 |
| ubottu | steevo_: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs | 01:25 |
| ActionParsnip | steevo_: there is NO BEST anything in life | 01:25 |
| steevo_ | DR_Willis:Amazing video quality | 01:25 |
| ActionParsnip | steevo_: well, single best | 01:25 |
| Ghosty | Dr_Willis, im thinking, a mistake i made a while back, might be causing it | 01:25 |
| Dr_Willis | steevo_: then you want to ask whats the best 'video' player.. :) ? | 01:25 |
| shawnboy | I mount shares over my LAN using cifs or nfs, but how do I mount (CLI) a drive on another Ubuntu machine to /media/mountpoint/ ? | 01:25 |
| steevo_ | Dr_Willis:sorry | 01:26 |
| ActionParsnip | steevo_: video quality depends on the codec, not the player | 01:26 |
| Dr_Willis | steevo_: try the different ones out. decide what you want. | 01:26 |
| Ghosty | i ran chown incorrectly, and accidentaily changed all perms from root dir on.. i fixed it, and fixed sudo | 01:26 |
| steevo_ | Let me refraze. what is the best video player for linux | 01:26 |
| Ghosty | Dr_Willis, but i dont know how to fix su | 01:26 |
| Ghosty | steevo_, mplayer is nice | 01:26 |
| Dr_Willis | steevo_: if you want just to play videos.. vlc, mplayer, smplayer, gnomes movieplayer, . | 01:26 |
| ActionParsnip | steevo_: there is no single best app for anything, there is no single best anything in life | 01:26 |
| Dr_Willis | steevo_: if you want a fancy 'home theater system/gui' => xbmc, moovidia, enna, boxee | 01:26 |
| Ghosty | Dr_Willis, can you help? | 01:27 |
| rooks | what torrent client for headless server would you guys reccomend, preferably something that has normal gui that can one attach to with | 01:27 |
| ilovefairuz | Seveas: I found it http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/introduction-to-mysql-55.html ! | 01:27 |
| Dr_Willis | Ghosty: untill we kniow what you changed.. i cant really help. | 01:27 |
| ActionParsnip | steevo_: best is a comparison of a product to needs and/or taste, no all users needs are the same so there will never be a single best | 01:27 |
| Ghosty | Dr_Willis, i just said it | 01:27 |
| Dr_Willis | Ghosty: sounds like you got some perms wrong from your chown.. that may be very very veyr hard to fix | 01:27 |
| Ghosty | Dr_Willis, <Ghosty> Dr_Willis, im thinking, a mistake i made a while back, might be causing it | 01:27 |
| unperson | stepenmac7, Unfortunately I don't think I can be much help, having never messed with it. Hopefully someone else has. | 01:27 |
| Ghosty | Dr_Willis, <Ghosty> i ran chown incorrectly, and accidentaily changed all perms from root dir on.. i fixed it, and fixed sudo | 01:28 |
| aloon | I have no virtual terminals ctrl-alt-fkey , Nvidia 310M video , I cant get them to be anything but black screen , i'm good with linux and have been searching for months , can anyone point me in the right direction ? | 01:28 |
| Dr_Willis | Ghosty: so you chowned EVERYTHING by mistake.. souinds liek it may be time for a reinstall.. | 01:28 |
| unperson | stepenmac7, I considered it before, but dropped it the idea for security reasons. Maybe that's not an issue in your case, though. | 01:28 |
| Ghosty | Dr_Willis, darn...:( | 01:28 |
| Ghosty | thanks | 01:28 |
| Dr_Willis | Ghosty: thats the only sure fix - i can think of. | 01:28 |
| Dr_Willis | Ghosty: or reinstall every package.. (which may take even longer) | 01:28 |
| Dr_Willis | aloon: i had the same issue with the default NEOUVU drivers.. but once i instgalled the nvbidia drivers. they started working | 01:29 |
| aloon | i'm using nvidia-current (185) | 01:29 |
| Dr_Willis | aloon: odd that yours is still having the issue. perhaps blacklist the framebuffer module the consoel are using | 01:29 |
| coz_ | aloon, which version of ubuntu ? | 01:29 |
| aloon | under nouveau they worked ... I should have looked at xorg.conf at the time | 01:29 |
| aloon | 10.04 | 01:30 |
| Dr_Willis | default xorg.conf is empty. :) | 01:30 |
| aloon | fresh install | 01:30 |
| coz_ | aloon, ok you meant driver 195 then just makng sure | 01:30 |
| Dr_Willis | aloon: i would guess plymouth, or framebuffer issue. | 01:30 |
| aloon | ive tried both | 01:30 |
| aloon | i get good splash res , but no VT's | 01:30 |
| Mr_Giraffe | is there any way to set up a guest login in Lucid that works from the login screen? | 01:31 |
| Dr_Willis | I disabled plymouth the other day.. notice4d today.. its some how got re-enabled. :) | 01:31 |
| Dr_Willis | Mr_Giraffe: 'sudo adduser guest' :) | 01:31 |
| aloon | i also tried many settings 1024x768 24 bit , 1699X etc | 01:31 |
| aloon | but never get VT's | 01:31 |
| Mr_Giraffe | Dr_Willis, that technically works... | 01:31 |
| Dr_Willis | Mr_Giraffe: i think theres some guest-gdm package also for that. | 01:31 |
| Dr_Willis | aloon: tried those settings where exactly? | 01:31 |
| aloon | xorg.conf | 01:32 |
| aloon | as the plymouth fixing wikis show | 01:32 |
| Dr_Willis | aloon: the xorg.conf does not affect the console res's - thats the framebuffer stuff. | 01:32 |
| Dr_Willis | aloon: which is why i suggested blackinsting the framebuffer | 01:32 |
| unperson | No one has any idea about setting the timeout on the gnome keyring? | 01:32 |
| aloon | http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/ | 01:33 |
| Dr_Willis | aloon: i had to blacklist the --> vga16fb module - so the consoles are using the old-fashoned normal text only console. no framebuffer.. and they work decently well for me now.. FASTER then using the framebuffer also | 01:33 |
| aloon | thats a typical link to fixing plymout ... it covers the frame-buffer etc | 01:33 |
| aloon | in the nvidia install was blacklisting all them and noveau | 01:33 |
| Dr_Willis | the nviodias install did not blacklist vga16fb - last i checked here.. | 01:34 |
| Dr_Willis | since i see it loaded on my other nvidia box. :) | 01:34 |
| aloon | no , i did it as part of the instructions | 01:34 |
| Dr_Willis | aloon: what if you close out X, 'sudo service gdm stop' does the consoels come back? | 01:34 |
| XunZi_ | is there anything similar to .chm for Ubuntu but with pdf support? | 01:35 |
| Dr_Willis | XunZi_: theres chm readers for ubuntu. | 01:35 |
| ActionParsnip | XunZi_: do you want a chm viewer? | 01:35 |
| Dr_Willis | theres chm2pdf congerters also | 01:35 |
| XunZi_ | no no, I want to make something similar to chm. | 01:35 |
| Dr_Willis | i think.. ;) | 01:35 |
| aloon | one sec I'll try that | 01:35 |
| Dr_Willis | why not html? | 01:35 |
| XunZi_ | I want to group documents into one single file with search, toc features | 01:35 |
| Dr_Willis | XunZi_: use tiddly wiki or 'woas' (wiki on a stick) :) but that may be overkill. | 01:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Or perhaps not.. | 01:36 |

| mattwj2002 | hi anyone here? | 01:41 |
| mattwj2002 | sorry dumb question | 01:41 |
| Zorix | ActionParsnip, anything is better than running the binary driver script from nvidia, caused my system not to boot | 01:41 |
| zaftig | i am here lol | 01:41 |
| mattwj2002 | I found at least part of that bug | 01:41 |
| mattwj2002 | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tightvnc/+bug/572389 | 01:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Zorix: if you use the bin file you will need to run it each time you get a new kernel | 01:42 |
| Kyuusai-San | hiyu does anyone know how i can get japanese characters to display in file folders | 01:42 |
| trism | Kyuusai-San: if they are utf8 they should work fine, if they're shift-jis or something else you'll need to view them in the ja_JP locale | 01:42 |
| Zorix | ActionParsnip, yea and it used to work, now it just causes problems | 01:42 |
| mattwj2002 | I think I might be affected by this too I am not sure my ubuntu box is broke right now! | 01:42 |
| ilovefairuz | TomOwens: it grabs only the public key | 01:42 |
| mattwj2002 | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tightvnc/+bug/237362 | 01:42 |
| TomOwens | ilovefairuz: Yeah. | 01:42 |
| TomOwens | How do I grab my private key? | 01:42 |
| ilovefairuz | TomOwens: you don't grab it from a server, you import it from a file, like a usb stick | 01:43 |
| Zorix | ActionParsnip, this x-updates ppa, does it update anything else other than display drivers? | 01:43 |
| unperson | TomOwens, Your private key should not be on the key server. | 01:43 |
| alex87 | i'm looking for something similar to google wave (foss), where i can add a few people to a topic and we can colaborate. any ideas? | 01:43 |
| Kyuusai-San | trism erm how do i view them in this locale | 01:43 |
| ilovefairuz | TomOwens: don't you have it saved somewhere? the key server only contains public keys | 01:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Zorix: i believe it has a later version of xorg as well, check it out. I'd just install the driver etc then remove it | 01:43 |
| TomOwens | ilovefairuz: Ah. So I can import it from my Windows machine? | 01:43 |
| trism | Kyuusai-San: as long as you have the fonts installed from System/Administration/Language Support for Japanese | 01:43 |
| TomOwens | I made the key using gpg4win. | 01:43 |
| XunZi_ | what is the command to start the hard disks management tool? | 01:44 |
| Zorix | ActionParsnip, ok thats what i was afriad of | 01:44 |
| ilovefairuz | TomOwens: mount the partition and browse for the file | 01:44 |
| TomOwens | It's a separate computer. | 01:44 |
| trism | Kyuusai-San: you can log into gnome setting the language to 日本語 | 01:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Zorix: if you just install the driver and don't run upgrade, you will be fine | 01:44 |
| TomOwens | I can throw it on an external drive or something. It's good now. Thanks. | 01:44 |
| ilovefairuz | TomOwens: you're welcome | 01:44 |
| mattwj2002 | :O | 01:45 |
| mattwj2002 | there is a workaround! | 01:45 |
| mattwj2002 | :D | 01:45 |

I cleared the mbr with "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1". When I realized what I did it was too late. The entire mbr is erased including the partition table. Is there a way te rewrite the partition table without loosing everything or am I screwed? | 02:01 |

| mattwj2002 | has anyone ever tried running a server of CF disk? | 02:17 |
| aloon | still get a black screen. | 02:17 |
| mattwj2002 | cf = compact flash? | 02:17 |
| mattwj2002 | oops there shouldn't have been a question mark there | 02:17 |
| mattwj2002 | :P | 02:17 |
| dodecanesand | my tv receiver runs on linux, i get mad to install ADF | 02:17 |
| jamiewan | dodecanesand: most peoples problems with grub come from them playing around with stuff they know nothing about | 02:17 |
| wildbat | Palm76, give it some time ~ no worry you can recover all | 02:17 |
| ilovefairuz | white: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20GRUB%202 | 02:17 |
| mattwj2002 | I know Cisco routers run on CF disk | 02:17 |
| mattwj2002 | some of them anyways | 02:17 |
| thune3 | Palm76: are you still booted into the same session you cleared the mbr from? | 02:18 |
| dodecanesand | jamiewan: yeah i played with grub too, its very strange. i hope someone build a better grub with xml config, and gui to configure | 02:18 |
| wildbat | Palm76, it will have to scan for the whole disk which take times | 02:18 |
| Palm76 | wildbat: I hope so. | 02:18 |
| mattwj2002 | I was thinking of buying a CF to IDE adapter | 02:18 |

| chrOnik | what driver do i need for ubuntu 64 with a ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] ? | 02:19 |

| [jfcaron] | I'm having trouble with a digital camera USB interface. Under 8.10 it worked alright, but now with 10.04, it is barely recognized at all. When I plug the camera into the USB and select Webcam Mode (on the camera), nothing is added to /dev/video. The kernel does recognize a USB device though: /var/log/kern.log: "usb 3-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice" Anyone have any ideas on how to further troubleshoot? | 02:20 |
| ilovefairuz | chrOnik: it's 'radeon' and don't expect any thing modern from it, it's very old | 02:20 |

| chrOnik | i think the drivers are installed just no 1920x1080 i, can't seem to find out on google | 02:21 |
| thune3 | Palm76: testdisk might get everthing (i've never used it). /sys/class/block/sda?/ files "start" and "size" might still have useful information for reconstructing partition table. | 02:21 |
| ilovefairuz | chrOnik: lshw -C display | 02:22 |

| [jfcaron] | mlmg317-himts: try "lsusb" | 02:23 |
| chrOnik | ilovefairuz: pastebin.com/A8Yy5hbY | 02:24 |
| chrOnik | does that look right? | 02:24 |
| [jfcaron] | mlmg317-himts: If you do it before and after plugging it in, the new entry should be your device. | 02:24 |

| tesuji | ilovefairuz, something is constantly accessing disk and i think that's it - running on a thumbdrive and that will kill it over time | 02:24 |
| ilovefairuz | chrOnik: yes looks fine, does your monitor support the higher resolution you want? | 02:25 |
| chrOnik | yes ofc | 02:25 |

| ubottu | DOUglas, please see my private message | 02:28 |
| [jfcaron] | mlmg317-himts: Hum, by the way I'm not an expert at all, I just happen to have remembered the "lsusb" command. If it's a large hard drive, maybe it needs to spend some time reading the disk before it can respond? I have no idea though, sorry. =\ | 02:29 |
| chrOnik | ilovefairuz: it shows maximum 4096 x 4096 | 02:29 |

| tripelb | Again (sigh) I want to install ubuntu on my HD (sata new formatted recognized.by.the.gui), Install does not see it. Nautilus sees it. Is install "stuck at" the way my computer was when I booted up at first rather than what it is now?? (If so, how UNlinuxlike!!) | 02:35 |
| aloon | can anyone tell me what their GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= line is in /etc/default/grub ? I'm wanting to see how it compares to mine. | 02:36 |
| aloon | ... so I can get VT's working | 02:36 |

| Xeon3D | erm how can I fix the maximum resolution that xrandr outputs? | 02:38 |
| thune3 | Palm76: can I pm you with some /sys inquiry commands? | 02:38 |
| ilovefairuz | chrOnik: now: xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 20 | 02:38 |

| chrOnik | ilovefairuz: do i have to reboot? | 02:40 |
| chrOnik | for it to show with xrandr | 02:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Xeon3D: you do have the proper drivers installed for your video card/chipset? is this a dvi or vga monitor setup> | 02:41 |
| ilovefairuz | chrOnik: not sure, restart X? log out and back in | 02:41 |
| chrOnik | roger, brb | 02:41 |
| rblst | can i convert mozilla thunderbird eml files into xml/html/pdf in ubuntu? | 02:41 |
| [jfcaron] | Is "uvcvideo" a package I can install with Synaptic, or is it built into the kernel? | 02:41 |
| ilovefairuz | rblst: you can "print" to a pdf file | 02:42 |
| ilovefairuz | [jfcaron]: if by that you mean the driver, yes it's included with the kernel | 02:43 |
| chr0nik | ilovefairuz: Nah its not showing :/ want me to post output of ? | 02:43 |
| ilovefairuz | [jfcaron]: 'lshw' to see what drivers in use | 02:43 |
| ilovefairuz | chr0nik: ok post | 02:43 |
| chr0nik | sorry, what was the command again? | 02:43 |
| ilovefairuz | chr0nik: xrandr | 02:44 |
| rblst | ilovefairuz, yes, but i want bulk conversion | 02:44 |
| [jfcaron] | ilovefairuz: Ah, I think I fixed some stuff. My webcam normally doesn't work. It's recognized as a USB device, but nothing shows up in /dev/video*. If I do sudo modprobe uvcvideo, all of a sudden it works (and is mounted at /dev/video0). Any idea why it's not doing it automatically? | 02:44 |
| ilovefairuz | rblst: no option in thundebird to print one than one message? | 02:44 |
| chr0nik | ilovefairuz: yeh, the other one? the longer one >.< | 02:44 |
| chr0nik | xrandr output is the same, no new 1920x1080 | 02:44 |
| Dr_Willis | [jfcaron]: you could always set the module to be autoloaded. | 02:44 |
| chr0nik | ilovefairuz: here anyway //pastebin.com/p0QejH27 | 02:45 |
| ilovefairuz | [jfcaron]: add it to /etc/modules and it will be loaded automatically | 02:45 |
| [jfcaron] | ilovefairuz: Are there user-specific kernel settings? I installed 10.04 with a fresh /, but my /home was on a different partition and I just installed "on top" of that. Could it be my old settings that are screwing it up? | 02:46 |
| tripelb | Trying to install Ubuntu. (sigh) I want to install ubuntu on my HD (sata new formatted recognized.by.the.gui), Install does not see it. Nautilus sees it. (thanks for the help) | 02:47 |
| rblst | ilovefairuz, if i select more than one message to print, only the last message will be printed | 02:47 |
| ilovefairuz | chr0nik: it seems the changes have to be redone after X startup each time (or naturally added to xorg.conf) .. | 02:47 |
| ilovefairuz | rblst: ask the thunderbird guys | 02:48 |
| chr0nik | mmmh | 02:48 |
| tripelb | It seems like it should be easy to start ubuntu on a new hard drive. when I asked how long they said 15 mins. I've been at this all day today. | 02:49 |
| rblst | ilovefairuz, thanks for the answers | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | tripelb: check how its currently formated and partitioned.. you may want to delete all the partitions on it. and let the installer parittion it. or partition it via gparted how you want. befor you start the installer | 02:49 |
| rblst | ilovefairuz, the tbird channel is virtually dead | 02:49 |
| Xeon3D | Dr_Willis, Yes do I have proper drivers installed for my graphics. Chipset is intel G41, Graphics is Nvidia GT220 VGA monitor setup | 02:50 |
| ilovefairuz | chr0nik: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution .. redo both commands, i think there's a third needed.. --addmode | 02:50 |
| ActionParsnip | tripelb: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? If you are using a CD have you checked it for defects and did you burn the CD slowly? | 02:50 |
| chr0nik | okay, ty | 02:50 |
| Xeon3D | Dr_Willis, Nvidia drivers detect my LCD (Asus VW223b) as a CRT-0 | 02:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Xeon3D: are you using the VGA outut on your graphics card? | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Xeon3D: I was thinking the xrandr stuff had some issues with the nvidia drivers.. but i cant even recall where i read that at. I rarely use xrandr these days | 02:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Xeon3D: or the white connector? | 02:51 |
| Xeon3D | ActionParsnip, using the DVI thru a DVI-VGA adaptor (but it works the same on the vga port) | 02:51 |
| Xeon3D | My monitor's EDID is shot. | 02:51 |
| ilovefairuz | tripelb: thought it's a rather vague advice but I recall tinkering with sata settings in BIOS fixing this problem | 02:51 |
| Xeon3D | ActionParsnip, I have to custom add the resolutions as well in Windows 7 and OS X | 02:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Xeon3D: thats why then, if you use the vga it will be seen as a CRT, its not an issue though | 02:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Xeon3D: windows runs on mac hardware? nice | 02:52 |
| Xeon3D | ActionParsnip, lol it's not Mac Hardware. | 02:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Xeon3D: then you are running illegal software | 02:53 |
| Xeon3D | I'm running Ubuntu. :) | 02:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Xeon3D: the mac license states it can only be ran on mac hardware | 02:53 |
| ilovefairuz | Xeon3D: check this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 02:54 |
| chr0nik | ilovefairuz: | 02:55 |
| chr0nik | i did cvt 1920x1080 amd then xrandr --newmode "commandline" | 02:56 |
| Xeon3D | ActionParsnip, sue me. I'm here since I'm having ubuntu issues. If I'd want to speak about my OS X install I'd go somewhere else. | 02:56 |

| ChrisBuchholz | I about to install ubuntu on my MacBook pro. I have os x installed ln an external harddrive and want to only have ubuntu on my macbook pro, but how do i get EFI to boot grub upon startup? I have looked at grub2/grub efi, but it seems to be for dualboot and such, or and i totally wrong about this? | 03:11 |

| ilovefairuz | chr0nik: you can install pastebinit and append to the end of commands: | pastebinit - | 03:12 |
| chr0nik | sounds nice, thanks.. i'v just been messing so much with fluxbox/openbox and getting used to everything | 03:13 |
| chr0nik | just this video card is breaking me lol | 03:13 |
| ilovefairuz | SCD[Eire]: what you're referring to is called Web scrapping and it very much depends on what you're trying to do, there are some generic web crawlers that act like search engines | 03:13 |
| adelcampo | how do I get libvisual-projectm to show up in rhythm box? | 03:13 |
| chr0nik | mpd is awesome ! im glad i found out about that | 03:13 |
| chr0nik | much easier to manage your music :p | 03:14 |
| SCD[Eire] | ilovefairuz, I meant if you were using a specific page. So you would copy and paste the source into the script and it'd do the rest | 03:14 |
| ilovefairuz | SCD[Eire]: it's what *extactly* it is supposed to do it what makes a difference, i'd also suggest looking into greasemonkey scripts since they are so powerful for doing this kind of stuff | 03:15 |

| Peter-C|Laptop | 2 thinks - Can I get ubuntu to auto connect to a wifi point and can I have it still run stuff while locked? | 03:18 |
| ilovefairuz | chr0nik: it requires the full mode line you used to make new mode | 03:18 |
| ilovefairuz | Peter-C|Laptop: 1) it will autoconnect by default, 2) yes | 03:19 |
| chr0nik | omg this seems so easy but im clueless, lol | 03:19 |
| chr0nik | the modeline i got from the cvt command yh? | 03:19 |
| Peter-C|Laptop | ilovefairuz, how? also it doesn't connect to my LAN - os that because it is not secured? | 03:20 |

| blackarray | trism: thanks, I'll start there | 03:25 |
| nul | IF you have an nvidia video card, the easiest way: 1) nvidia-xconfig, 2) google your monitors horizontal and vertical min-to-maximums (eg 30-160khz), write em down, 3) edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, find your monitor, where it autodetected the horizontal and vertical, pop in real values.. log off, log back in | 03:25 |
| nul | klappi: ty | 03:25 |
| sync3times | a|3x, sorry /proc/driver/nvidia/cards/0 | 03:25 |
| nul | klappi: does this work for non-ext3 etc? | 03:25 |
| ilovefairuz | chr0nik: so try arandr | 03:25 |
| Peter-C | thanks! | 03:26 |
| chr0nik | im looking at it now, cant seem to find add on the gui menus | 03:26 |
| klappi | nul: dont know read the docs | 03:26 |
| nul | chr0nik: read what I said | 03:26 |
| nul | chr0nik: it DOES work | 03:26 |
| nul | only prob is adding custom modes after | 03:26 |
| nul | but it depends how custom | 03:26 |
| a|3x | sync2times, GeForce 7350 LE | 03:26 |
| nul | a | 03:26 |
| jedi06 | so i'm trying to apply a patch (step 2) how do i do it? patch csharp csharp.patch? http://imaginary-project.net/wiki/building_qyoto_for_window | 03:26 |
| chr0nik | about the nvidia nul? | 03:26 |
| nul | what mode are you talking about a|3x? | 03:26 |
| nul | chr0nik: yeah | 03:26 |
| chr0nik | this is a VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] | 03:26 |
| a|3x | nul, mode? | 03:26 |
| nul | a|3x: your problem is adding a custom mode right? what mode do you need? | 03:27 |
| sync3times | a|3x, ok, you have nvidia, do you have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? | 03:27 |
| chr0nik | just need 1920x1080 :/ 16:10? ;P | 03:27 |
| nul | yeah that's easy | 03:27 |
| a|3x | nul, no, i need it to start x when monitor is not plugged in | 03:27 |
| nul | that will work immediately as soon as you change horizontal/vertical refresh rates in xorg | 03:27 |
| nul | oh I see | 03:27 |
| nul | so nothing to do with custom mode, k | 03:27 |
| nul | chr0nik: is that your problem though? | 03:27 |
| chr0nik | yes | 03:27 |
| nul | k | 03:27 |
| chr0nik | where is org located? | 03:28 |
| nul | can you pastebin me your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 03:28 |
| chr0nik | usr/x11? | 03:28 |
| nul | I may be able to fix it immediately | 03:28 |

| keith4141 | Does anyone know if its possible to configure gnome panels to not show on a specific workspace?. eg always show the panels on workspace one, but not on workspace 2. So in the end I would have panels configured per workspace? | 03:28 |
| ilovefairuz | chr0nik: no "new' button on toolbar? | 03:28 |
| chr0nik | nul: http://pastebin.com/Y361eLK6 | 03:29 |
| sync3times | a|3x, its going to take some research on your part, but if you can use the MetaModes Option and fool with EDID options, you may be able to force the card to startup in the absence of a monitor. | 03:29 |
| chr0nik | it seems to be in there? | 03:29 |
| chr0nik | eh wtf will it work? | 03:29 |
| nul | chr0nik: awesome, this should take 2 seconds | 03:29 |
| sync3times | a | 03:29 |
| nul | what's your monitor name? | 03:29 |
| chr0nik | prolite iiyama | 03:29 |
| nul | like brand etc | 03:29 |
| a|3x | sync2times, no, i don't have that file | 03:30 |
| sync3times | a|3x, nvidia has lot of options documented in /usr/share/doc/NVI* | 03:30 |
| chr0nik | e2407hdsd | 03:30 |
| nul | k sec | 03:30 |
| sync3times | a|3x, you dont have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf? | 03:30 |
| a|3x | sync2times, no | 03:30 |
| theredundant | hi guys, uber noob here, how do i install unyaffs? | 03:30 |
| theredundant | shows me 3 files at site | 03:30 |
| chr0nik | did u open it with sudo a|3x ? | 03:30 |
| theredundant | and ive no idea which to choose or how to install | 03:30 |
| chr0nik | mine was empty untill i did "sudo" | 03:31 |
| sync3times | a|3x, you might try running nvidia-settings and see if it will create one for you | 03:31 |
| nul | chr0nik: reload it | 03:31 |
| a|3x | chr0nik, sudo su | 03:31 |
| nul | chr0nik: copy changes | 03:31 |
| nul | HorizSync and VertRefresh is what you need | 03:31 |
| nul | then logout, log in | 03:31 |
| sync3times | a|3x, you need a xorg.conf file to put in the extra stuff to override edid detection and stuff | 03:31 |
| nul | it should work in theory | 03:31 |
| chr0nik | so that in pastebin looks good? | 03:31 |
| chr0nik | no need to change anything? | 03:32 |
| nul | chr0nik: can you see my pastebin changes? | 03:32 |
| nul | I made changes | 03:32 |
| chr0nik | ah sorry 1sec | 03:32 |
| a|3x | sync2times, ran nvidia-xconfig and it was created | 03:32 |
| pharasoth | im using the nvidia driver in ubuntu 8.04. in windowed opengl apps there is this graphical glitch around my cursor, its not there in fullscreen apps that offer their own cursor. How can i fix this? | 03:32 |
| nul | chr0nik: ok anyway edit the file, where it says Horiz change it to 31-80, and Vert 56-75 | 03:32 |
| nul | can you do that chr0nik | 03:32 |
| ilovefairuz | chr0nik: nevermind arandr, doesn't support adding modes | 03:32 |
| nul | easiest way to fix bad monitor shit is changing the horiz/vert refresh limitations set in the xorg.conf | 03:33 |
| sync3times | a|3x, good. look at the nvidia documentation in /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA-xxxxx to see about overriding EDID and using MetaModes | 03:33 |
| nul | it works every time | 03:33 |
| chr0nik | lol nul can u upload it to fresh pastebin? ;/ | 03:33 |

| Taev | its not starting at boot | 03:41 |
| sacarlson | I have been trying some new kernels like 2.6.33.29-realtime-pae I change the boot with startup-manager and at boot at a point the screen with text flashes then ends with a text login. I can't get X to start. | 03:41 |
| chr0nik | its dvi now | 03:41 |
| chr0nik | but i had vga before | 03:41 |
| chr0nik | lol i installed this os on a p4 1gig rams | 03:41 |
| nul | I would think DVI would just instantly work.. but you could try switching it to VGA and see if it works | 03:41 |
| chr0nik | and then put it quadcore | 03:41 |
| nul | although that's counter-intuitive advice ;) | 03:42 |
| nul | hmm | 03:42 |
| sacarlson | Taev: what do you see when you #/etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 03:42 |
| sync3times | sacarlson, if you login with text, what happens when you run xinit | 03:42 |
| ilovefairuz | Taev: check the logs | 03:42 |
| nul | chr0nik: DVI should just autodetect.. VGA has issues with that, that's why we have issues.. but on DVI, it shouldn't happen. | 03:42 |
| chr0nik | lol yh. im sick of looking on google so i came here | 03:42 |

| sync3times | sacarlson, you can also look in /var/log/X* for error messages | 03:44 |

| sacarlson | sync3times: I don't remember seeing any even in /var/log/syslog I don't see any error maybe I looked at the wrong log | 03:44 |

| pharasoth | can someone please help, there is this box around my cursor where my graphics are glitched up in opengl applications. im using the nvidia 71.86 driver in ubuntu 8.04lts. you can see it here http://imagebin.ca/view/4eO0iE.html | 03:53 |

| nul | Generally speaking, is it better to reinstall on a new ver of ubuntu, or can you upgrade your distribution safely? | 03:53 |
| nul | is it safe / will stuff break is my question | 03:54 |
| psycho_oreos | reinstall to install a new version | 03:54 |
| Taev | http://pastebin.com/i1FhaHZ4 | 03:54 |
| Taev | there /etc/apache2/apache.conf | 03:54 |
| Taev | er apache2.conf sorry. | 03:54 |
| sikilpaake | is there a way to be able to launch gparted from terminal without doing a sudo? | 03:54 |
| alex87 | sacarlson, i think it's a bigger issue, both dvd and cds fail to read, on multiple machines (all running recent version of linux) | 03:55 |
| psycho_oreos | sikilpaake, gksu | 03:55 |
| Taev | but what I can't figure out is why Apache failed to start at boot time twice in a row | 03:55 |
| sacarlson | nul: It seems if you upgrade you need to go only one step at a time like 9.04 to 9.10 upgrades. I tried to jump from 8.04 to 10.04 and I had problems. | 03:55 |
| Taev | I've had this web server running for 2 years and thats never happened and I made no updates or changes to config before this happened | 03:55 |
| sikilpaake | psycho_oreos: gksu? hmm.. | 03:55 |
| nul | sacarlson: interesting | 03:55 |
| vhugox | Hi there!. I have a problem on Ubuntu 9.10. My microphone doesn't work with my Siragon Laptop. I've been trying a lot of suggestions that i found on google, but it doesn't work. | 03:55 |
| psycho_oreos | sikilpaake, it'll ask your password as you normally would in sudo but without terminal | 03:56 |
| sikilpaake | damn.. ok | 03:56 |
| sacarlson | nul: oh part of my problems may of been caused by me going outside ubuntu distobution | 03:56 |
| ilovefairuz | Taev: pastebin: ls /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ | 03:56 |
| psycho_oreos | sikilpaake, if you want to not make sudo ask for password, you need to edit sudoers file and append NOPASSWD | 03:56 |
| nul | sacarlson: yeah that seems likely to ;) | 03:56 |
| sikilpaake | psycho_oreos: thanks, dude... this is what i'm trying to do ---> ssh -X -C -c blowfish verbatim@192.168.1.103 "gksu gnome" | 03:56 |
| psycho_oreos | sikilpaake, hmm ok no worries | 03:57 |
| sikilpaake | psycho_oreos: i just need sudo to not ask password for gparted, though | 03:57 |
| Taev | http://pastebin.com/DB6YFY4i | 03:57 |
| psycho_oreos | sikilpaake, which is what I said, edit the sudoers file.. you need to execute via visudo | 03:58 |
| hylian | anyone know if there is a distro that does all it can to stay small like dsl, puppy or wolvix, but then can become as robust as say, ubuntu? | 03:58 |
| sikilpaake | psycho_oreos: but what do i add there, though? | 03:58 |
| ilovefairuz | Taev: sudo rm ls /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/log_sql.load; sudo rm ls /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/log_sql_mysql.load; | 03:58 |
| psycho_oreos | sikilpaake, NOPASSWD.. there are some examples of that scattered all over the net | 03:58 |
| xangua | !lubuntu | hylian | 03:59 |
| ubottu | hylian: lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu | 03:59 |
| Taev | you want me to delete it? | 03:59 |
| sikilpaake | psycho_oreos: werd, thanks a lot | 03:59 |
| Taev | will that damage my install? | 03:59 |
| ilovefairuz | Taev: sorry just rm, not rm ls | 03:59 |
| psycho_oreos | sikilpaake, no worries | 03:59 |
| ilovefairuz | Taev: no these are not the actual files, just symlinks, won't delete anything | 03:59 |
| hylian | xangua: thank you, i will take a look at that. | 03:59 |
| ilovefairuz | Taev: it will only deactivate the modules | 03:59 |
| sacarlson | sikilpaake: in visudo you need to add a line for the account you want to use without passwords like: yourusername ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL | 04:00 |
| misteralexander | How do i find out if I'm running 32-bit or 64-bit Ubuntu? | 04:00 |
| misteralexander | a simple command line trigger? | 04:00 |
| nul | actually uname could tell you | 04:00 |
| sikilpaake | sacarlson: i need only ONE program to be able to run without passwords.. not an entire user | 04:00 |
| Taev | ok its done | 04:00 |
| sacarlson | sikilpaake: ok google that but it can bee done | 04:01 |
| nul | misteralexander: uname -a | 04:01 |
| nul | then if theres "x86_64", yep | 04:01 |
| ilovefairuz | Taev: ok test | 04:01 |
| nul | err x86_64 == 64-bit | 04:01 |
| Taev | how? | 04:01 |
| fancybit | how can I login as root in a new ubuntu system? | 04:01 |
| ilovefairuz | Taev: you said it doesn't start at boot, so reboot? | 04:01 |
| Taev | well you can use sudo, but if you really want to log in as root, run kuser and set a root password | 04:01 |
| Taev | that way you can su in, fancybit | 04:02 |
| misteralexander | nul: i ran that, and it confirms I'm running the 64-bit version, but my system only recognizes 3.2GB of my 4GB of RAM . . . why? | 04:02 |
| chr0nik | would ubuntu be fine to run from usb flash drive? "Not install" Run and use? | 04:02 |
| nul | misteralexander: onboard video is likely the reason | 04:02 |
| Taev | ok rebooting | 04:02 |
| sacarlson | sikilpaake: I used to have it setup so a single or group of users could use a group of admin commands but I forget how. | 04:02 |
| nul | misteralexander: but 3.2 is a lot of ram to give an IGP.. that is odd | 04:02 |
| nul | so maybe I'm wrong =/ | 04:02 |
| sikilpaake | sacarlson: no prob ;) thanks | 04:02 |
| psycho_oreos | under wheel group | 04:02 |
| psycho_oreos | %wheel | 04:02 |
| misteralexander | nul: perhaps you are, but it gets me closer to a reason . . . THANKS! | 04:02 |
| fancybit | in fact, I want to install a software by a .bin file | 04:02 |
| fancybit | but ubuntu tells me I don't have the power | 04:03 |
| ilovefairuz | fancybit: bad idea! use a package | 04:03 |
| ilovefairuz | fancybit: what software? | 04:03 |
| fancybit | jdk | 04:03 |
| ilovefairuz | fancybit: sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk | 04:03 |

| thune3 | chr0nik: persistent or full install on usb can have lots of stalls due to the bad random write performance of usb flash drives. | 04:08 |
| ilovefairuz | Taev: man, and thank you. | 04:09 |
| Taev | so is it ok to delete old logs? | 04:09 |
| ilovefairuz | Taev: yes | 04:10 |
| chr0nik | i might try it thune3 with some "slim ubntu distro" | 04:10 |
| bastid_raZor | sdondley: from what i've read compiz doesn't play very well with vnc/remote desktop viewer. on the remote box turn compiz off by typing in terminal: metacity --replace :see if this makes any difference. | 04:10 |
| Taev | ilovefairuz, I'd tell you why apache2 wasn't starting at boot, but you'd laugh. | 04:10 |
| sacarlson | Taev: there should be auto cron jobs that delete old logs automagicly out of the box | 04:10 |
| babyju | Anyone. I'm getting a segmentation fault whenever I try to start any processes on my system. I think I have a software raid failure. All the filesystem is in readonly mode. I only have ssh access to the system right now. Anyone know how I can force a reboot? shutdown and reboot command return a bus error. | 04:11 |
| klappi | thats the job of logrotate | 04:11 |
| sacarlson | Taev: you forgot to turn on the computer? | 04:11 |
| ilovefairuz | Taev: I suspect mysql starting after it not before, but tell. | 04:11 |
| Taev | Umm No. | 04:11 |
| Taev | Apparently Apache2 was disabled to start at boot under the services | 04:11 |
| Taev | I have no idea how that happened Since I don't recall doing it. | 04:11 |
| sdondley | bastid_raZor: thanks, will give it a shot | 04:12 |
| fancybit | how can I speed up the software pack downloading? | 04:13 |
| thune3 | chr0nik: it's actually firefox that give the most headaches, it does disk cacheing by default, and it also does a bunch of osync writes to keep your history/bookmarks current. | 04:13 |

| c4pt | hello i seem to be having a problem. i built a custom kernel from xen pvops sources. the problem seems to be now that i have enabled nouveau patches into the kernel image and built the kernel image + headers i cant seem to rebuild nouveau.ko in /usr/lib/modules/pvops.2.6 ....... | 04:14 |
| c4pt | .....even though nouveau.ko is in /usr/lib/modules/generic-2.6 | 04:14 |
| c4pt | because i didnt build nouveau.ko in make menuconfig as a module or into the kernel | 04:14 |
| sikilpaake | psycho_oreos: dude... much thanks to you | 04:14 |
| sikilpaake | psycho_oreos: it totally worked | 04:15 |
| sikilpaake | psycho_oreos: i owe you a hug | 04:15 |
| sikilpaake | psycho_oreos: thanks | 04:15 |
| psycho_oreos | sikilpaake, mmm -_- no worries | 04:15 |
| c4pt | is there a way i can just simply rebuild nouveau.ko for pvops.2.6 without having to recompile the entire kernel and rebuild? | 04:15 |

| RealOpty | i have a bad hdd that im gonna use. Id like to make the partition table setup so that the one partiton contains the good side and the other is bad side (bad blocks) oh and swap. | 04:15 |
| fancybit | does it supports multi-thread tech? | 04:16 |
| RealOpty | any suggestions on this ? :) | 04:16 |
| xibalba | no one here has any nprobe/ntop expierience? | 04:16 |
| xibalba | i'm suprised :( | 04:16 |
| ilovefairuz | RealOpty: you want to bury the swap in bad sectors? that sounds so wrong | 04:16 |
| sacarlson | c4pt: as far as I know as long as the source in a link hasn't changed it won't recompile that part unless you do a make clean | 04:17 |
| ubuntu | Hello. I have recently burned the latest version of Linux and I tried to boot from it. I got to the loading screen with the logo and the four progress red/white dots, but after that I got an error message that reads: "(process: 268): GLid - WARNING: ** getpwid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)" | 04:17 |

| RealOpty | ilovefairuz, lol | 04:17 |
| RealOpty | ilovefairuz, i dont even care about having swap atcually. | 04:17 |
| c4pt | sacarlson, that seems to make sense all of a sudden i did an rm -rf linux-2.6 and then git checkout but not a make clean. | 04:17 |
| c4pt | sacarlson, it was odd because when i ran make (without menuconfig or oldconfig figuring the changes took effect it didnt even prompt me as usual) | 04:18 |
| ilovefairuz | RealOpty: then don't use it, and I recall a utility that mapped bad blocks graphically, but not sure of the name... | 04:18 |
| wombatguy | how do i find files by size and also list their sizes? I know find but I can't seem to get anything to work with exec that would help me accomplish this | 04:18 |
| wombatguy | i really just can't get exec to work | 04:18 |
| wombatguy | -exec i mean | 04:18 |
| sacarlson | c4pt: you might be able to just change the config enable the new stuf and compile. it will find the change and compile and link it | 04:18 |
| c4pt | sacarlson, so rm -rf linux-2.6/ then git checkout then cp -rf config then make clean? (should prompt me with a yes or no (single question) the way i have the config set as of current | 04:18 |
| ilovefairuz | wombatguy: do you append the last ';' ? | 04:19 |
| wombatguy | yea | 04:19 |
| ilovefairuz | wombatguy: paste command | 04:19 |
| RealOpty | ilovefairuz, cool at least theres a tool thats related. | 04:19 |
| wombatguy | can you paste a command to me because some of this has been cut and paste | 04:19 |
| wombatguy | ok | 04:19 |
| c4pt | sacarlson, as of current...it did a single yes or no when i ran make it didnt do it the second time after i didnt run make clean. | 04:19 |
| RealOpty | ilovefairuz, another Q | 04:19 |
| mmar | question regarding wine and firefox: I have office 2007 installed under wine. It will open both 2003 and 2007 files by default EXCEPT in firefox. In firefox, any 2003 file will open in openoffice while 2007 will open in wine/office. Anyone know where I should be starting to change the default behaviour of firefox with 2003 files to open wine/office 2007? | 04:19 |
| sacarlson | c4pt: I'm not an expert at git. I normaly just make clean and do it all over. I have lots of time | 04:19 |
| c4pt | sacarlson, so if i presently run make clean it will make the new options hopefully? | 04:20 |
| RealOpty | ilovefairuz, is it ok to run 32bit ubuntu on a 64bit machine? | 04:20 |
| wombatguy | find -iname '*.*' -size -5000k -exec -ls -k -s {\}\ \; | 04:20 |
| Dr_Willis | RealOpty: that can work. | 04:20 |
| RealOpty | Dr_Willis, indeed | 04:20 |
| RealOpty | ok thanks | 04:20 |
| sacarlson | c4pt: oh I'm not sure I think you might need to go into the config editor and turn it on also | 04:20 |
| c4pt | sacarlson, ok thanx i will give it another try if i am back in like 2 or 3 hours it will probably be because i cant see it in menuconfig or something. | 04:20 |
| wombatguy | i don't really understand -exec but even when i paste other examples it gives me the same errors with exec | 04:21 |
| c4pt | sacarlson, yeah but i am not sure what to enable to make nouveau show up in the options of make menuconfig | 04:21 |
| wombatguy | find: missing argument to `-exec | 04:21 |
| wombatguy | is that error | 04:21 |

| c4pt | sacarlson, yeah. | 04:22 |
| sacarlson | c4pt: I think I recall seeing nvidia support in menuconfig | 04:22 |
| Dr_Willis | wombatguy: i think you need some quoteing around the exec argument.. | 04:22 |
| reff67 | Turn debugging information off <--Ubuntu kernels build with debugging information on, which makes the resulting kernel modules (*.ko files) much larger than they would otherwise be. | 04:22 |

| So_Confused | Greetings room. If I ssh into my Ubuntu laptop (for a web proxy) on port 8080, will that interfere with web browsing? I know that I should use a port that isn't being used, but isn't 8080 used for web browsing? | 04:30 |
| sacarlson | Jerad: oh and that's 100,001 now cause I got one a week ago | 04:30 |
| Jerad | i doubt it. i deal with kingston on a daily basis. | 04:31 |

| alex87 | anyone have any ideas why all my ubuntu 10.04 machines can't read cds or dvds properly? (gvfs will mount the audio cd, but i can't copy the disc, or dd it) | 04:31 |

| linziyan | there is no "module" sections in my xorg.conf i want to add "dbe" to the "module"section ....anyone who can solve my problems? many thanks.... | 04:32 |
| ilovefairuz | So_Confused: "web browsing" doesn't bind to a port, a proxy server does, but browsing itself doesn't | 04:32 |
| So_Confused | ilovefairuz: Understood... but port 22 is blocked by starbucks and other hotspots. So I found a tutorial on how to change the default listening port, and using putty is easy enough to specify a port... | 04:33 |
| bastid_raZor | So_Confused: you would have to have ssh listening on a specific port before you can connect to the box. | 04:33 |
| So_Confused | ilovefairuz: kk... that's what I was hoping for. | 04:33 |
| Jerad | seeing as i have had 29.7GB of raw video on this drive at one point, and that all fed well into a frame server for post-processing i will have to eliminate the flash drive as a problem. | 04:33 |
| So_Confused | bastid_raZor: ty... now I need a way to test my port change. | 04:33 |
| ilovefairuz | So_Confused: if you run another server that tries to use the same port, they will conflict | 04:34 |
| So_Confused | ilovefairuz: kk... just this one server. | 04:34 |

| linziyan | there is no "module" section.....if i add it by me,reset computer,i can enter my graph.... | 04:36 |
| bastid_raZor | So_Confused: if you're behind a router, which most hotspots are.. then the router would need to port forward the port. | 04:36 |
| Gambit- | hey guys | 04:36 |
| Gambit- | I've got a multi-homed ubuntu box | 04:36 |
| Gambit- | I'm trying to get it to act as a router between the two interfaces | 04:36 |
| Guest23025 | haayy gambit | 04:36 |
| Nebulosa | linziyan: so just add three strings | 04:36 |
| Gambit- | echo 1> ip_forward doesn't seem to be enough | 04:36 |
| Guest23025 | whats multihomed? | 04:37 |
| So_Confused | bastid_raZor: open the port on the router... gotcha. | 04:37 |
| Gambit- | what am I missing? | 04:37 |
| Gambit- | Guest23025, multiple ethernet interfaces. | 04:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Gambit-: youa re echoing the ip forawf to the right path? not just the current working directory? | 04:37 |

| So_Confused | bastid_raZor: kk... editing the config file now. I'll try that in a few | 04:38 |
| Guest23025 | quick question for any tor users | 04:38 |
| Guest23025 | is there a way to change the rate the at which your endpoint ip changes? | 04:39 |
| Guest23025 | say instead of x minutes, maybe y minutes? | 04:39 |
| IdleOne | Guest23025: there is a #tor you can try asking in | 04:40 |
| Guest23025 | IdleOne: perhaps you are right | 04:40 |
| Guest23025 | thank you | 04:40 |
| c4pt | sacarlson, i figured out why the option wasnt available i had to git remote add the driver source (as in the nouveau wiki) to /usr/src/pvops.2.6/ then menuconfig then enable it as <m> then make clean | 04:40 |

| alex87 | i'd love to have a privately hosted website where my friends can post and organise upcoming events, any suggestions? | 05:05 |

| bastid_raZor | alex87: apache2 | 05:05 |
| === ubuntu is now known as ubunt1 | ||
| alex87 | bastid_raZor, any existing projects that you know of? | 05:06 |
| ilovefairuz | alex87: buy a web hosting package and use a CMS like drupal or joomla | 05:06 |
| Guest43775 | i used the command line you gave me, and the screen show me a message having me to use apt-get autoremove bla bla ant it worked | 05:06 |
| Guest43775 | thank you | 05:07 |
| ilovefairuz | alex87: most of these packages come with a one-click install nowadays | 05:07 |
| vishal_ | Dr_Willis, Then no any such a practice which do similar work as like of aptoncd, but I wanting each and every package's copy, yep, apt-on-cd doesn't do that! | 05:07 |
| alex87 | ilovefairuz, fortunately i do a lot of work with drupal, i guess i was just hoping for something google wave-like | 05:07 |
| Guest43775 | thank you | 05:07 |

| bastid_raZor | vishal_: that would be a huge set of .debs consider each version more than likely has a different version dependency | 05:08 |
| Dr_Willis | vishal_: never tried. You could proberly write up some script that could go through your installed packages and apt-get 'download only' them then you could backup that.. | 05:08 |

| vishal_ | bastid_raZor, Dr_Willis: I wanting to do such a job because mine friends are using Ubuntu (as I encouraged them for that) and they are having no network connection, so as every time (when they wanting any debian package) I need to make a new one DVD by using apt-on-cd, surely it's take much time, as well as time too... | 05:12 |
| Chriss83 | I'm a newbie to linux (recovering Windows user) who needs some help with the install process. RE: Newbie. | 05:12 |
| student | Is it possible for malware from my karmic partition to affect my windows 7 partition?? | 05:13 |
| vishal_ | *cost~time | 05:13 |
| Dr_Willis | apt on cd can work to a flash drive or hard drive i thought. | 05:13 |
| xangua | Chriss83: install what¿ ubuntu¿ software¿ | 05:13 |
| Jerad | student: i have never seen that happen unless you're accessing this "malware" from within windows. | 05:14 |
| Dr_Willis | student: what malware? it would be odd that anything on the linux side would affect windows or visa-versa | 05:14 |
| Chriss83 | just tried to install ubuntu 10.04, ran into a hang, read the message boards, and saw greek. again, newbie. don't know code. | 05:14 |
| Dr_Willis | student: if you want to be truely safe. dont mount your windows partitions. | 05:14 |
| student | Dr_Willis: Just a hypothetical question | 05:14 |
| SteveThing | Chriss83, what's happening during install? | 05:14 |
| Dr_Willis | student: then the hypothetical answer is 'no' | 05:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | !virus | student | 05:15 |
| ubottu | student: 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 | 05:15 |

| So_Confused | Thank you room once again for helping me through another question. | 05:15 |
| Dr_Willis | vishal_: You could get a largeish hard drive. and just clone the whole repository to it for your friend. | 05:15 |
| Chriss83 | I get through all of the initial screens, hard drive partitions successfully, and when I click the final "forward" all I see is the background. no hard disk activity, no cdrom activity. | 05:15 |
| Dr_Willis | j4y: you dont normally download things from the web to install on ubuntu.. use the package manager to install wine. | 05:16 |
| Dr_Willis | j4y: sudo apt-get install wine <----------- and it auto downloads it as needed | 05:16 |
| Baumer | Hi, I have an issue with the install. The installation CD boots, and brings me to a login screen (The same one for 10.04). It's not my current installation, as it has none of the users.

Anyone ever have a similar issue? | 05:16 |
| Dr_Willis | j4y: ive no idea what IMVU even is. | 05:16 |
| j4y | i have already installed wine, im trying to open it from download (IMVU is a chat program) | 05:17 |
| j4y | *open IMVU download with wine | 05:17 |
| j4y | http://www.imvu.com/catalog/web_download_steps.php | 05:17 |
| vishal_ | By the way, could I copy (backup) just a only package (with it's dependencies) to flash-drive/removable-drive/hdd? | 05:17 |
| j4y | when it asks to open with, i want to choose wine | 05:17 |
| Dr_Willis | j4y: you are douible clicking on a .exe you downloaded? | 05:17 |
| j4y | (open with wine windows product loader) | 05:18 |
| Jerad | that reminds me... my install freezes while dpkg is running, but i don't see a log file in /var/log/. i'm assuming there should be a dpkg.log that i can reference. | 05:18 |
| j4y | no just once | 05:18 |
| Dr_Willis | j4y: download the program to your downloads directory.. then double click on the exe. or right click on the exe and use the opwn with windows loader/wine.. dont try to run it in wine from the browser.. | 05:18 |
| Dr_Willis | j4y: or download it to your Downloads directory, then from a terminal use a command like 'wine ~/Downloads/whatever.exe' | 05:19 |
| j4y | ok i will try that, thank you willis...also..how are you talking to me in red? | 05:19 |
| Dr_Willis | j4y: its not in red :) | 05:19 |
| j4y | oh i see it in red | 05:19 |
| j4y | lol | 05:19 |
| vishal_ | And could I get the markings of the installed packages from Synaptic Package Manager, so as by reading that markings' text file next time, I can easily retrieve all those? | 05:19 |
| Dr_Willis | j4y: thats your irc client... | 05:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | j4y, when you use an IRC Nic(name) it will appear in red in xchat | 05:19 |
| j4y | ok ty | 05:20 |
| j4y | didnt know that | 05:20 |
| Dr_Willis | j4y: you DID check the wine app database to see if that program works in wine at all? | 05:20 |

| ubottu | vishal_: 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 | 05:23 |
| Dr_Willis | vishal_: those commands make a text file list of whats hinstalled.. | 05:23 |
| Dr_Willis | vishal_: watch out for installing things on other machines that you dont need.. ie: nvidia drivers on an ati box and so forth | 05:23 |

| jimbo_ | I accidentally installed ubuntu 10.04 with gnome, when all I really wanted was a minimal machine (give me a kernel, bash, and apt, I'll do the rest); In the interest of saving time and learning something, how can I get a list of packages to remove to get a minimal system? | 05:25 |
| Dr_Willis | vishal_: also backup your apt sources listings | 05:25 |

| LilyFaith | So I made a big boo boo and am wondering if anyone can help (Or if there is any help) I was attempting to migrate my mother from Windows to Ubuntu and made the assumption that all of her family photos from the last 5 years were in the Documents folders, but as usual windows stored it in some programs folder or something, but i already wiped the computer and installed ubuntu. Is there a ubuntu app for searching freespace for file re | 05:26 |
| Dr_Willis | jimbo_: perhaps thiose will help | 05:26 |
| Dr_Willis | LilyFaith: you mean Undelete stuff from a repartiioned/formated hard drive? or SCAN/search the windows drive that you hopefully dident erase for all images? | 05:27 |
| jimbo_ | Dr_Willis: good stuff, wonder why I couldn't find that. Weak goo-fu tonight | 05:27 |
| LilyFaith | Unfortunately the first one, its the drive I formatted and installed ubuntu on | 05:28 |
| Dr_Willis | minimal is the new 'big' thing these days. :) | 05:28 |
| Dr_Willis | LilyFaith: i would imagine they are gone. | 05:28 |
| jimbo_ | Dr_Willis: not complete, but a good start. pure-whatever still assumes xorg and a WM. | 05:28 |
| Dr_Willis | LilyFaith: you have written over the drive after formating it.. so thats not good. | 05:28 |
| Dr_Willis | LilyFaith: you assumed the 'user migration' tool/thing in the uibuntu installer copied the images over? | 05:29 |
| jimbo_ | LilyFaith: how big is the drive/ | 05:29 |
| jimbo_ | I have have good results with `foremost` against disk/partition images. | 05:29 |
| jimbo_ | Particularly with jpegs | 05:29 |
| LilyFaith | Ya, well I know you can search freespace for data patterns using an app called R-Studio even if you have formatted, etc, but thats a windows app so was wondering if there was a ubuntu equiv | 05:30 |
| jimbo_ | foremost is one. | 05:30 |
| LilyFaith | Ji,mbo that probably what Im looking for | 05:30 |

| Chriss83 | installing ubuntu 10.04 I get through all of the initial screens, hard drive partitions successfully, and when I click the final "forward" all I see is the background. no hard disk activity, no cdrom activity. read the message boards, but I don't understand code. very new to this, trying to learn. can anyone help? | 05:31 |
| sikilpaake | Dr_Willis: /media/ will mount it to its own automatic mountpoint? | 05:31 |
| Dr_Willis | sikilpaake: i said make a directory. that will be its mountpoint. | 05:32 |
| Dr_Willis | sikilpaake: if the auto mounting sybsystem does it - it should make some directory for it in /media/ | 05:32 |
| sikilpaake | Dr_Willis: perfect | 05:32 |

| sacarlson | Jub369: did you try reinstall grub2 with a live boot cd? | 05:38 |

| _schism_ | ubudad thanks you sir I had a 9.04 that I updated to 9.10 and then today went to 10.04 and now x will not work and I have no idea why. still fairly new to nix I can still ssh into the machine | 05:40 |
| Chriss83 | jimbo_: thx. think I may just try installing ubuntu alone. I have another machine I have access to with windows on it. | 05:41 |
| jimbo_ | student: unless karmic is silly (and it might be), your XP partition won't be mounted automatically. | 05:41 |

| RealOpty | when using et2fsch with option -c where is this 'bad block list' ? | 05:42 |
| jimbo_ | student: if you really want to be safe, you can blacklist the ntfs and ntfs-3g kernel drivers. These make accessing windows partitions possible in the first place. You can do that via /etc/modprobe/blacklist if I recall correctly. Also no, Windows will not mount Karmic, because MS makes no attempt at interoperability. | 05:42 |

| chipnt | i am thinking to use solr to index meta data from 15 tb of pdf files, i never did this before so i need to know how much delay for solr solr to serve about 10 searches in same time, (I guess that by having 10.000 computers doing this 8 9 hours per day, at each 10 mins interval probably) | 06:08 |

| Gabloco | yes before I came here I read everything I could there | 06:09 |
| ubudad | [L]: What does it do? | 06:09 |
| Gabloco | I have linux installed on ntfs (bad idea) | 06:09 |
| Gabloco | but now after an uprgrade on synapsys | 06:09 |
| [L] | can't in to GUI mode | 06:09 |
| joebobjoe | i just bought a new router and now i cannot connect to my ubuntu server using its hostname, when im ssh'd into the box it says "cannot resolve hostname", any advice? | 06:09 |
| _schism_ | ubudad, think that could cause it to fail a lot of stuff including init.d? | 06:09 |
| Gabloco | grub2 does not load | 06:09 |
| jimbo_ | So_Confused: agh, I can't get into that machine right now. I have a simple shell script to update dyndns though. The short version: you can HTTP POST to something like http://dyndns.org/?u=user&p=pass&i=new_ip | 06:10 |
| [L] | just blank screen | 06:10 |
| jimbo_ | So_Confused: put that in a 5-minute crontab and you're always updated. | 06:10 |
| will_ | I just tried the instructions from the Wifidocs; no improvement. The problem may be that I tried some other things first, including blacklisting the 43xx drivers (since then I deleted the blacklist), but now my wireless card is not even detected whereas when I first installed the os it was at least detected just inactive. Any thoughts? | 06:10 |

| So_Confused | jimbo_: I set up the updater and copied the text from the dyndns website into the file they specified. If it's working or not I really can't tell being there doesn't seem to be any window or readout from it. | 06:12 |
| _schism_ | ubudad, yeah I played with lubuntu on an older system but if I remeber correctly one of the machine si used this same cd on only had 256 megs | 06:12 |

| joebobjoe | bastid_raZor: im getting "sudo: unable to resolve host elephant" | 06:16 |
| So_Confused | jimbo_: well... it's in there so I'm not gonna bother it. | 06:16 |
| bastid_raZor | joebobjoe: what is the command you're using? | 06:17 |
| joebobjoe | sudo | 06:17 |
| bastid_raZor | joebobjoe: sudo what? | 06:17 |
| joebobjoe | but it says "unable to resolve host elephant" all the time | 06:17 |
| joebobjoe | bastid_raZor: sudo * | 06:17 |
| bastid_raZor | joebobjoe: did you change you're hostname? | 06:17 |
| jimbo_ | haha, that happened to me once too. | 06:18 |
| lelle_ | hi ive been trying to connect wireless for some time now without success... i have a paper with both a wep and a wpa key on it, but ubuntus internet connection settings only allow one at the same time, which is the most important? | 06:18 |
| joebobjoe | bastid_raZor: no but i changed my router | 06:18 |
| jimbo_ | joebobjoe: what is the output of `hostname` and `cat /etc/hosts`? | 06:19 |
| jimbo_ | and `cat /etc/hostname` while we're at it | 06:19 |
| bastid_raZor | joebobjoe: "sudo *" is not a valid command. | 06:19 |
| jimbo_ | might be, but it's a bad idea :p | 06:20 |
| ubudad | lelle_: Your router can only be setup for one or the other. Given the choice, WPA is far more secure, but your choice on your Ubuntu system must use whatever your network uses. | 06:20 |
| ubudad | lelle_: I'm guessing that one of those is old and no longer used. | 06:20 |
| dave__ | Can someone help me figure out why this figure function in mallard isn't coming up right? | 06:20 |
| lelle_ | ubadad hmmm.. how do i know what it uses? both keys are exactly the same tho | 06:21 |
| joebobjoe | jimbo_: 1. "elephant" 2. http://pastebin.com/Pm1QERpe | 06:21 |
| bastid_raZor | joebobjoe: what are you trying to do? | 06:21 |
| MaRk-I | lelle_: check your router setup... if it's set to use WEP or WPA.... not both | 06:21 |
| jimbo_ | joebobjoe: typo in /etc/hosts | 06:22 |
| ubudad | lelle_: most likely, when you first try to connect, network manager will detect the encryption type and simply prompt you for the appropriate key. If both are the same -- no worries. | 06:22 |
| joebobjoe | jimbo_: i see | 06:22 |
| joebobjoe | oops | 06:22 |
| joebobjoe | bastid_raZor: when i said sudo * i meant that any command gives the unable to resolve hostname problem | 06:22 |
| ubudad | lelle_: Now... if what you have is two different *network names* (one using WEP and the other WPA), then use the one using WPA. | 06:23 |
| joebobjoe | jimbo_: fixed, thanks | 06:23 |

| tensorpudding | If you don't use flash or any proprietary software, you won't notice at all | 06:39 |
| Viking667 | i.e. for every server he decides to install (proftp, apache, etc etc etc) there'll be configuration he'll need to do. | 06:39 |

| Alazare | anyone know of a way to have ubuntu 10.04 lucid automount any internal drive as i swap drives alot (use bitdefender nix version to scan drives) it would make things so much easier | 07:05 |
| mattyb | nope | 07:05 |
| mattyb | h | 07:06 |
| mattyb | hi | 07:06 |
| sacarlson | Alazare: i think you need to look at modifiing you /etc/fstab file | 07:07 |
| Alazare | yea but as i swap drives if i have a drive in fstab it would stall my boot if its not connected | 07:07 |
| sacarlson | Alazare: it seems mine are already auto mount all I did is make sure the disk wasn't in the fstab file | 07:08 |
| sacarlson | Alazare: maybe my user has privliage to mount things? | 07:09 |
| Alazare | well it will show the drive | 07:09 |
| Alazare | it isnt physically moutned tho till a file is first accessed on the drive | 07:09 |
| Devilinops | anyone know if there is an instaler for 3d max or maya or should i just set it up thru wine? | 07:09 |
| sacarlson | Alazare: it only mounts when I use nautilus to access it | 07:09 |
| _pingu | Do I have ot install the lpr and/or the cupswrapper driver for a printer ? | 07:10 |
| sacarlson | Alazare: so you want it to mount as soon as it connects like a usb flash or cd? | 07:10 |
| Alazare | sacarlson: yes, that is correct but my problem in lies, i have 2 sata ports on my motherboard, my boot / programs drive and my data drive with all my movies, | 07:10 |
| Alazare | my data drive is frequently removed, in place for a client's drive thats infested with viruses etc | 07:11 |
| Alazare | if i edit fstab | 07:11 |
| Alazare | and go to boot with the customers drive in | 07:11 |
| Alazare | it stalls the boot and wont let me go any further because fstab reports an error | 07:11 |
| Alazare | cant skip cant go past home cant collect 200 dollars | 07:11 |
| Devilinops | pingu not shere if this helps http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=678407 this is what i used to install my printer | 07:11 |
| Alazare | then i have to boot up via live cd live usb etc | 07:11 |
| Alazare | redit the fstab | 07:11 |
| Alazare | to remove the drive | 07:11 |
| Alazare | as you can tell this is very frustrating | 07:12 |
| Alazare | now the reason i want it to always be mounted is because my music and stuff is on that drive | 07:12 |
| sacarlson | Alazare: I've had that problem also but I just hit cntl-d to continue boot | 07:12 |
| Alazare | if i add music to rythmbox's library or mythbuntu etc and i fire it up and the drive isnt there etc it will wipe the library | 07:12 |
| Alazare | thats what i did too but since 10.04 it doesnt work now.. | 07:13 |
| sacarlson | Alazare: i guess if you are removing and replacing sda disk there would be no way to get around your problem. can't you just be sure you are changing sdb or sdc? | 07:15 |
| Alazare | here i guess the easiest way to explain things is, you know in windows | 07:16 |
| Alazare | when you connect an internal drive | 07:16 |
| Alazare | it says new drive foudn and instantly gives it a letter | 07:16 |
| Alazare | thats what i want | 07:16 |
| i_is_broke | is ati getting any better with there video ? | 07:16 |
| Alazare | no | 07:16 |
| joebobjoe | i heard the nvidia linux drivers are better, bet the ati ones are open | 07:17 |
| i_is_broke | what nvidia card is pretty easy and good to set up? | 07:17 |
| sacarlson | Alazare: ya that's how our flash disk also work so maybe look at /etc/fstab and see how they are configured | 07:17 |
| xangua | i_is_broke: ¿¿ | 07:17 |
| Alazare | i guess i could do a shortcut in home, add it to auto start, and make the shortcut direct itself to nautilus /media/datadrive/testfile.txt | 07:17 |
| Alazare | then it would auto start the drive long as its there | 07:17 |
| i_is_broke | or does someone know of a place that rates them?? | 07:18 |
| sacarlson | Alazare: that sounds posible | 07:18 |
| Alazare | and not have to mess with fstab | 07:18 |
| Alazare | its just fstab foobars my boot if its not connected | 07:18 |
| sacarlson | Alazare: well the cd drive is in fstab also and it's not always there | 07:18 |
| Alazare | the drive itself is | 07:18 |
| Alazare | but the media isnt | 07:19 |
| Alazare | thats the diffrence | 07:19 |
| Devilinops | is there anyway to still get 9.10 server edition i dont like 10.04 | 07:19 |
| sacarlson | Alazare: flash drives are the same also they aren't there until they are there and mount as soon as installed. they must have fstab entry | 07:19 |
| Alazare | see thats the problem they arent tho... | 07:20 |
| Alazare | there has to be somewhere else in the files | 07:20 |
| Alazare | since usb is hotswapable | 07:20 |
| sacarlson | Alazare: ok I just checked and I'm wrong no entry for usb or cd | 07:20 |
| Alazare | and sata drives are too | 07:20 |
| Alazare | why dont internals just mount as soon as there seen | 07:20 |
| sacarlson | ya that's what you want hotswap | 07:21 |

| Alazare | 120gigs worth of programs? | 07:23 |
| kk_hacker | Dr_Willis: not even ie 7? | 07:24 |
| ibrahim-kasem | how to activate video call with emesene ? | 07:24 |

| ubottu | liubo: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 07:24 |
| sacarlson | Dr_Willis: wow I didn't know you can install IE in wine. I wonder if it would work with ruby watir | 07:24 |
| Alazare | well you could install ubuntu,windows on the same drive, with programs, fstab the second drive long as you never remove it your fine, | 07:24 |
| Dr_Willis | kk_hacker: No idea. I cant see any reason for me to ever want to run IE under wine. | 07:24 |
| Alazare | or | 07:24 |
| Alazare | raid them in your bios | 07:24 |
| Alazare | and there just 1 drive | 07:24 |
| liubo | hi | 07:24 |
| xangua | ibrahim-kasem: webcam support is really bad, there will be better support for it in emesene2 | 07:25 |
| rezolute | IE should never be heard of in a place like this. | 07:25 |
| rezolute | it is unholy | 07:25 |
| Sickler | alazare: i dont want to raid ssd as it will lose trim support, i just want to know if grub2 will reconize ubuntu and windows from 2 diff drives | 07:25 |
| kk_hacker | Dr_Willis: even I hait it and is a rather stupid thing. but some dirty politics here in india has started a digital mafia. They make sites in a way that they only behave properly in IE. | 07:25 |
| ibrahim-kasem | xangua, what client should I be using if i want to make a vedio call ? | 07:25 |
| joebobjoe | DR_Willis: "At the moment, Ubuntu 10.04 doesn't support Trim as support is coming in the next kernel, which will be out after the final release of Lucid Lynx." http://blog.burlock.org/ubuntu/183-review-of-lucid-lynx-ubuntu-1004 | 07:26 |
| Dr_Willis | kk_hacker: under linux then you use IE6. or try to fake the useragent in Firefox and see if the site behaves | 07:26 |
| sacarlson | kk_hacker: I had one of my banks refuse to let me access without IE but I was able to fool it with a firefox seting | 07:26 |
| Alazare | Sickler: in all honesty i have no clue, as thats not how must people install | 07:26 |
| Dr_Willis | joebobjoe: may bee stuff ive been reading in 10.10 then. or been in some testing ppa's - ive been reading some benchmarks on it. I cant afford a SDD anyway. | 07:26 |
| kk_hacker | rezolute: yes it is unholi | 07:27 |
| Alazare | Sickler: your best bet would be to use to old drives and find out first | 07:27 |
| kk_hacker | rezolute: but there is a lot of digital terrorisom going on to restrict the digital freedom of users | 07:27 |
| Alazare | Sickler: maybe 2 old ide drives or something | 07:27 |
| kk_hacker | Dr_Willis: yes I tryed faking the agent | 07:27 |
| xangua | ibrahim-kasem: skype, ekiga -their own account- empathy, pidgin - this last two only with xmpp account - | 07:27 |
| kk_hacker | Dr_Willis: ok, then how can I run IE 6 in wine? | 07:27 |
| joebobjoe | Dr_Willis: ironically TRIM support will make SSD's more affordable, since MLC performance will be almost on par with SLC...well relatively | 07:27 |
| Alazare | Sickler: it might not see them at first but im sure if you updated grub in nix manualy in the cfg file im sure it will work then | 07:28 |
| Dr_Willis | kk_hacker: see the bots 'ies4linux' fatoid. I DONT use ie in linux.. so thats the extent of my knowledge basically | 07:28 |
| Alazare | Sickler: as all you have to point it to is the dev/sd* of the drive | 07:28 |
| ibrahim-kasem | xangua, thank you very much. | 07:28 |
| Dr_Willis | joebobjoe: i will belive it when i see it. :) | 07:28 |
| ibrahim-kasem | xangua, that was helpful | 07:28 |
| ibrahim-kasem | xangua, can I run Kmess on gnome ? | 07:28 |
| Dr_Willis | ibrahim-kasem: you can run kde apps on gnome and visa versa of course. | 07:29 |
| Sickler | alazare: from what i hear from several ppl is that it is possible, its just a big step to move from the price of one ssd to two | 07:29 |
| xangua | ibrahim-kasem: sure, you will need to install kde libraries if it's needed | 07:29 |
| ibrahim-kasem | Dr_Willis, thank you I will install it now. | 07:29 |
| joebobjoe | Dr_Willis: 5 years, youll be all SSD | 07:30 |
| ibrahim-kasem | xangua, but I don't think video call is supported with Kmess as well | 07:30 |
| Alazare | Sickler: in fact i know its possible i was just looking at /default/grub | 07:30 |
| reggi | hello all | 07:31 |
| Sickler | alazare: sweet, i might go ahead and buy two ssd drives while on sale | 07:31 |
| Alazare | ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### | 07:31 |
| Alazare | menuentry "Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition (on /dev/sda1)" { | 07:31 |
| reggi | would someone help me with a noob question regarding compiling? | 07:31 |
| Alazare | thats the line to my xp partition | 07:31 |
| Alazare | so if it was on a diffrent drive it would be /dev/sda2 | 07:32 |
| reggi | please? | 07:32 |
| xangua | !ask | reggi | 07:32 |
| ubottu | reggi: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 07:32 |
| joebobjoe | reggi: just ask it | 07:32 |
| reggi | ooh sorry | 07:32 |
| reggi | ok | 07:32 |
| joebobjoe | np | 07:32 |
| Alazare | can i ask a question | 07:33 |
| reggi | i'm trying to compile something called OpenSceneGraph, if I copy the source files to my desktop and then run ./configure, make, then make install, where does it install the 'installed program'? | 07:33 |
| Alazare | !ask | alazare | 07:33 |
| ubottu | Alazare, please see my private message | 07:33 |
| joebobjoe | reggi: whereever OpenSceneGraph tells it to | 07:33 |
| reggi | oh ok | 07:34 |
| Sickler | im confused.... i thought ubuntu supported trim but this website says otherwise http://blog.burlock.org/ubuntu/183-review-of-lucid-lynx-ubuntu-1004 | 07:34 |
| MaRk-I | reggi: depends on the make file... could be /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin | 07:34 |
| reggi | thanks joebobjoe | 07:34 |
| joebobjoe | np | 07:34 |
| joebobjoe | Sickler: supposedly 10.10 will | 07:34 |
| Sickler | joebobjoe:thats not what the site says | 07:35 |
| joebobjoe | Sickler: link? | 07:35 |
| reggi | so there is also an 'old' version of OpenSceneGraph already installed using synaptic. Would I have to uninstall that before installing (compiling) the latest version? | 07:35 |
| nits | wow the terminal is awesome! :P | 07:35 |
| joebobjoe | reggi: not usually | 07:35 |
| reggi | or does the compiled version 'upgrade' the existing 'old' version. | 07:35 |
| MaRk-I | reggi: yes | 07:35 |
| reggi | damn! | 07:35 |
| Sickler | joebobjoe: yea http://blog.burlock.org/ubuntu/183-review-of-lucid-lynx-ubuntu-1004 | 07:35 |
| reggi | that is where i've gone wrong then. | 07:36 |
| reggi | sigh | 07:36 |
| reggi | well thanks for helping me folks | 07:36 |
| reggi | i'm an ol'skool windows tech trying to get my head around linux and ubuntu | 07:36 |
| So_Confused | Trying FoxyProxy with the dyndns addy to tunnel all my web traffic through my laptop. The ssh tunnel is working but I get an error when trying to browse through the proxy. Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections. | 07:36 |
| reggi | and it's great to get questions answered by folks like you. | 07:36 |
| _pingu | I want to install drivers for a Brother 7030 printer: http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_prn.html#DCP-7030 But they are for i386, and I have AMD64. What should I do? | 07:37 |
| reggi | thanks joebobjoe and MaRk-I | 07:37 |
| joebobjoe | np | 07:37 |
| MaRk-I | reggi: yw | 07:37 |
| joebobjoe | Sickler: yeah i know, ive seent that post, let me dive into the release notes | 07:37 |
| ibrahim-kasem | is there a program that i can use to access blocked sites in my network like facebook ? instead of adding a proxy manually? | 07:37 |
| Sickler | joebobjoe: k | 07:38 |
| loculinux | estoy comensando en el mundo de linux | 07:39 |
| MaRk-I | !es | loculinux | 07:39 |
| ubottu | loculinux: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 07:39 |
| Dr_Willis | ibrahim-kasem: by 'my network' you mean your work network? or one at your home? | 07:39 |
| loculinux | pero quisiera saber como ejecutar photoshop porque lo necesito | 07:39 |
| ibrahim-kasem | Dr_Willis, my isp provider doesn't allow us to browse facebook so I have to add a proxy manually :( | 07:40 |
| loculinux | #ubuntu-es | 07:40 |
| Dr_Willis | that seems like somnthing odd for an ISP to do. | 07:40 |
| ibrahim-kasem | Dr_Willis, and the proxy stops working after two days so I have to search for another one | 07:40 |
| loculinux | como usar photoshop en ubuntu | 07:41 |
| Dr_Willis | could try TOR i guess.. | 07:41 |
| reggi | could someone please direct me to a tutorial about 'how to compile'? I'd like to understand what happens in each process of the ./configure, make, and make install, processes. | 07:42 |
| reggi | (wiki, online help etc) | 07:42 |
| Dr_Willis | !compile | reggi | 07:42 |
| ubottu | reggi: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 07:42 |
| reggi | !compile | 07:42 |
| Dr_Willis | 'read' what the bot said... | 07:42 |
| reggi | lol | 07:42 |
| Nebulosa | reggi: ./configure&&make&&make install :) | 07:42 |
| reggi | oh ubutto is the bot - right got it... | 07:43 |
| reggi | thanks Dr_Willis just what i'm looking for | 07:43 |
| joebobjoe | Sickler: TRIM support is only available in the 2.6.33 kernel i believe | 07:43 |
| joebobjoe | Sickler: so yeah it should be in the next release | 07:43 |
| MaRk-I | !manual > reggi | 07:44 |
| ubottu | reggi, please see my private message | 07:44 |
| ibrahim-kasem | Dr_Willis, what I am asking for is an application like ultra surf or cc proxy , http tunnel . | 07:44 |
| MaRk-I | reggi: you could read that too plenty of stuff in there | 07:44 |
| Sickler | joebobjoe: :( | 07:44 |
| joebobjoe | Sickler: its only two months | 07:45 |
| reggi | thanks MaRk-I this is what i've been looking for i think. | 07:45 |
| deostroll | hi my lucid lynx is getting stuck @ the login screen...I always hve 2 restart, go into recovery mode, and start gnome via shell... | 07:45 |
| Sickler | joebobjoe: what literature did u use to come to that concusion | 07:45 |
| deostroll | is this a known bug? | 07:45 |
| joebobjoe | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/571476 | 07:45 |
| mast` | is it possible to just install KDE, from gnome, from the package manager and then just pick between kde and gnome at boot? or is it a bit more complicated than that? | 07:45 |
| joebobjoe | Sickler: get the link? | 07:45 |
| Sickler | joebobjoe:yes | 07:46 |
| bazhang | mast`, kubuntu-desktop | 07:46 |
| MaRk-I | mast`: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktopt and yes at login you have a choice to which one you want to use | 07:46 |
| Dr_Willis | mast`: GDM login screen has a menu to select... | 07:46 |
| MaRk-I | mast`: oops kubuntu-desktop | 07:46 |
| Dr_Willis | mast`: the only annoyance is you may get redundant/extra cluttered programs in the menus | 07:46 |
| mast` | oh, nice. I was hoping it was gonna be just a matter of installing something from aptitude | 07:46 |
| mast` | thanks :) | 07:47 |
| deostroll | hi my lucid lynx is getting stuck @ the splash screen (prior to login)...I always hve 2 restart, go into recovery mode, and start gnome via shell... | 07:47 |
| ibrahim-kasem | is there an application that I can use to browse the blocked sites by my isp ? | 07:48 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: so you can boot in single user mode? | 07:48 |
| deostroll | sacarlson, didn't understand question? single user mode? | 07:49 |
| lifetoward | Hi folks I have one for you related to type handling files via SMB... anyway care to hear it? | 07:49 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: I guess recover mode single user is the same. so you can get into X gui envirment manualy? | 07:50 |
| Dr_Willis | ibrahim-kasem: could try TOR i guess.. | 07:51 |
| deostroll | sacarlson, yes I type startx in the shell to start X and gnome... | 07:51 |
| ibrahim-kasem | Dr_Willis, where can i download it from ? i can't find tor in the software center | 07:52 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: so maybe you can look in /var/log/syslog and see what error you might of had at boot | 07:52 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: sounds like a driver problem or maybe a disk that's still in /etc/fstab that it gets stuck on | 07:53 |
| enix316 | i dual boot on this box and i want to merge my vista partiton into the ubuntu filesystem. i have messed with partitions and filesystems befor but never with the built in disk utility in ubuntu 10.04. is this utillty able to do this? is there a better option in the repos? | 07:53 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: does sound and network still work when you startx | 07:54 |
| johan | anyone who knows how t o communicate under modbus with the millenium 3 from crouzet? | 07:54 |
| deostroll | sacarlson, yes...they don't hve a prob... | 07:54 |
| lifetoward | Situation: I have my Lucid linux attaching as a client to a Mac OS X Snow Leopard serving SMB; I have files there of various OpenDoc format types, such as blah.ods. I can see these files there in Nautilus. If I double click blah.ods it launches Archive Manager and I get an empty archive. If I right click the file the primary choice to launch is archive manager while Open Office is not there. The Type of the file according to "List" vie | 07:54 |
| Dr_Willis | ibrahim-kasem: its not in the repos. Theres a ubuntu wiki page on it. | 07:55 |

| deostroll | sacarlson, i seem 2 notice that the OS doesn't do it routine hard disk checkups like it normally does...can this b the issue? | 07:58 |
| [seb] | i have a little problem -_- | 07:58 |
| Dr_Willis | deostroll: should check every 30 mounts I belive... | 07:58 |
| [seb] | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/474827/ | 07:59 |
| [seb] | why isn't working? | 07:59 |
| Dr_Willis | [seb]: and a summary of the problem is? | 07:59 |
| sacarlson | mrb: I never got openvpn to work with networkmanager I always used the terminal | 07:59 |
| [seb] | i never saw this before -_- | 08:00 |
| sacarlson | mrb: or I would just create a script that I setup on the control panel with custom setup | 08:00 |
| deostroll | sacarlson, do u mean the text I see in recovery mode...? | 08:00 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: yes before it stops don't you see text that indicate the error it has? | 08:01 |
| [seb] | Dr_Willis any idea? | 08:01 |
| joebobjoe | are there any public logs of this channel? | 08:02 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: maybe it tries a few kernel entry before it stops? | 08:02 |
| Dr_Willis | [seb]: and a summary of the problem is? Dont expect people to go to a web site just to read the actual problem. | 08:02 |

| ethrealite | Hey everyone one guess what? I'm just another idiot that can't get sound working. pate bin http://pastebin.com/sdtng6tF | 08:02 |
| meke | guys, I am downloading ubuntu currently and will start using linux for the first time. Here is a stupid question. Will I be able to access the files I saved with windows from ubuntu? | 08:02 |
| Dr_Willis | meke: yes. | 08:02 |
| deostroll | sacarlson, yes there ws something...can't rem wht it exactly is...it says it tried mounting the hard disk more than 34 times, hence its forcing to do something... | 08:03 |
| Dr_Willis | meke: linux can access your windows partitions. | 08:03 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: lets see when it does start working what you have ended up with: do a uname -a | 08:03 |
| joebobjoe | when will be the day that everything is simply an upstart process? | 08:03 |
| nits | meke: Linux can access Windows partitions but Windows can't access Linux partitions :D | 08:04 |
| [seb] | Dr_Willis my english is poor so i'll try to be clear: on my web server i have a .tar.gz file and i tried to untar or gunzip it but i get an error message that i never saw before... the file isn't corrupted | 08:04 |
| deostroll | sacarlson, but then I somehow get out of it...since I am in recovery mode...the recovery mode menus turn up... | 08:04 |
| Dr_Willis | joebobjoe: actually all the sysv services are now launched by a upstart process that sort of 'emulates' sysv | 08:04 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: ok so how many partitions do we have on this computer? | 08:04 |
| mrb | thx guyz | 08:04 |
| [seb] | Dr_Willis i've downloaded it on windows and no problem to uncompress it and the file are ok | 08:04 |
| meke | Good to know, can't wait to try out ubuntu | 08:04 |
| [seb] | Dr_Willis when i try it on my server i get this error message | 08:05 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: now I understand it is having problems mounting something and fails | 08:05 |
| joebobjoe | Dr_Willis: interesting | 08:05 |
| [seb] | gzip: stdin: not in gzip format | 08:05 |

| MaRk-I | !hdaintel | ethrealite | 08:05 |
| ubottu | ethrealite: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto | 08:05 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: so if it's not needed we can just remove the disk that has the problem from your /etc/fstab file | 08:05 |
| Dr_Willis | [seb]: your tar arguments maybe wrong. try the 'unp' command. it can unpack most everything in a smart way | 08:06 |
| SuNk8 | hey people, just wondering if it's possible to use brasero to split a big file and burn as disks? | 08:06 |
| Dr_Willis | [seb]: or your file got currupted transfering it from windows | 08:06 |
| deostroll | sacarlson, well, I hve 2 hard disks!!! | 08:06 |
| [seb] | Dr_Willis unp lol_8.tar.gz? | 08:06 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: well I think one is failing to mount. one has windows? | 08:07 |
| [seb] | Dr_Willis the files are correct i use it in my eggy running on the same server | 08:07 |
| Dr_Willis | !info unp | [seb] | 08:07 |
| ubottu | [seb]: unp (source: unp): unpack (almost) everything with one command. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.15 (lucid), package size 10 kB, installed size 76 kB | 08:07 |
| deostroll | sacarlson, the result of uname -a ->http://paste.ubuntu.com/474832/ | 08:08 |
| [seb] | i also d/l it to my computer (windows) to analyse all the files and everything is ok | 08:08 |
| SuNk8 | Dr_Willis, , just wondering if it's possible to use brasero to split a big file and burn as disks? | 08:08 |
| deostroll | sacarlson, had windows 1ce...now its over written w/ ubuntu, an older version... | 08:08 |
| Dr_Willis | SuNk8: proberly is. but gettting them back to one big file may be the issue | 08:08 |
| Nebulosa | [seb]: test file by command - "file lol_8.tar.gz" i think it's tar not gz | 08:08 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: ok that looks good but what's on that secound drive? | 08:09 |
| deostroll | sacarlson, ubuntu 8.10 | 08:09 |
| Nebulosa | [seb]: when u did tar cvjf u get just tar-archive | 08:09 |
| [seb] | Dr_Willis worked fine with unp | 08:10 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: so now it's just used as an extX data disk? I think for now we should just remove that entry from your /etc/fstab | 08:10 |
| [seb] | no error message(s) | 08:10 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: then if that's the problem we will eather fix it or format it | 08:10 |
| Nebulosa | [seb]: plz read my msgs.. | 08:10 |

| [seb] | Nebulosa i tried to compress a folder (.tar.gz) what i did wrong? | 08:11 |

| [seb] | to make it i used "tar cvjf" and to extract "tar zxvf" | 08:12 |
| deostroll | sacarlson, this is wht /etc/fstab looks like http://paste.ubuntu.com/474833/ | 08:13 |

| sacarlson | deostroll: just put a # in front of it | 08:16 |

| makson_ | what should permissions be on home directory for a user i get this errpr when ssh in to my box Authentication refused: bad ownership or modes for directory /home/test1 | 08:17 |
| deostroll | sacarlson, isn't that something to do with the cdroM? | 08:17 |
| Mr_Sonoma | RealOpty, yes what do you need? | 08:18 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: yes | 08:18 |
| RealOpty | Mr_Sonoma, ok heres what i want to do: | 08:18 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: I have no entry for my cdrom on my copy | 08:18 |
| magicianlord | what's the best lightweight media player | 08:18 |
| Nebulosa | magicianlord: mplayer | 08:18 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: worst case you won't have a cd drive for one boot | 08:18 |
| [seb] | Nebulosa and to extract it "tar zxvf lol_8.tar.gz" ? | 08:19 |
| Dr_Willis | magicianlord: media as in video ? or audio? | 08:19 |
| nits | magicianlord: if u are looking for a cli player - mplayer is good, if u want a full fletched, but superfast music player try quodlibet | 08:19 |
| deostroll | sacarlson, so this means I can't boot from my cd drive? | 08:19 |
| Nebulosa | [seb]: yes. tar can only extract gz | 08:19 |
| magicianlord | i want something that installs in under 50mb | 08:19 |
| RealOpty | Mr_Sonoma, on one machine i have a folder that contains files that im commonly editing. id like this to be the host | 08:19 |
| magicianlord | like vlc media player, but less disk space | 08:19 |
| nits | magicianlord: definitely quodlibet, and it's in python, superlight | 08:19 |
| magicianlord | k | 08:19 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: no your cd drive will still boot boot but when this patition boots you may not have a cd automounted | 08:19 |
| RealOpty | Mr_Sonoma, and on the client end id like to keep those files updated on that side so i can compile the stuff over there. | 08:20 |
| ibrahim-kasem | Dr_Willis, can you help me installing tor please ? | 08:20 |
| rww | makson_: your home directory shouldn't be world-writable, and your ~/.ssh directory shouldn't be world-readable | 08:20 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: you will still be able to manualy mount it | 08:20 |
| magicianlord | does quodlibet play video? | 08:20 |
| ibrahim-kasem | Dr_Willis, I couldn't understand the guide. | 08:20 |
| Dr_Willis | ibrahim-kasem: not really. I just follolwed the TOR wiki page and last id id that was over a year ago. | 08:20 |
| rww | (and with appropriate ownership) | 08:20 |
| ttyX | magicianlord: tinycore linux? | 08:20 |
| magicianlord | ttyX: no | 08:21 |
| ibrahim-kasem | Dr_Willis, thnx again :) | 08:21 |
| Dr_Willis | ibrahim-kasem: all i recall doing was enabling some PPA's and instlling it.. then following the config directions. then dident like it.. so i removed it a day or 2 later | 08:21 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: I also don't see your secound drive in here. | 08:21 |
| [seb] | Nebulosa i tried it but makes nothing | 08:21 |
| RealOpty | Mr_Sonoma, im reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync atm | 08:21 |
| RealOpty | i see that there is a gui app for rsync | 08:21 |
| [seb] | Nebulosa i want to extract (like unzip on windows) this folder | 08:21 |
| RealOpty | will this work even if im not logged in? | 08:21 |
| Nebulosa | [seb]: on windows use 7zip | 08:22 |
| _pingu | locate .ttf | grep -i times prints nothing under 10.04. locate .ttf | grep -i helv not, too. Where are alle the fonts like Helvetica, Times ENw Roman..? | 08:22 |
| [seb] | Nebulosa no, on linux | 08:22 |
| Nebulosa | it knows .tar.gz | 08:22 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: what we should also do is see where it did mount # mount | 08:22 |
| Nebulosa | [seb]: ok i can shows u.. | 08:22 |
| Mr_Sonoma | RealOpty, ok give me a sec to see what your looking at. there are a few good tutorials on the use of rsync. You can run rsync from your client system to pull the files | 08:22 |
| [seb] | on windows i use winrar to extract .tar.gz that works fine | 08:22 |
| nits | how do u search for a particular mp3 file on the system using the terminal can somebody tell me with an example please | 08:23 |
| Mr_Sonoma | RealOpty, are your home directories encrypted? if so no you will have issues | 08:23 |
| RealOpty | Nope | 08:23 |
| _pingu | nits: locate filename | 08:23 |
| nits | _pingu : already tried it's not showing up mp3 jus other kind of files | 08:24 |
| deostroll | sacarlson, wait...i log off n try to come back from another machine...2 min. | 08:24 |
| rww | nits: find ~/Music/ -iname somefile.mp3 | 08:24 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: I also want to see what is mounted where with the mount comand | 08:24 |
| MaRk-I | _pingu: look for this package ttf-mscorefonts-installer | 08:24 |
| _pingu | nits: do sudo uodatedb and try the locate again | 08:24 |
| [seb] | Nebulosa lol_8.tar lol_8.tar.gz | 08:24 |
| Mr_Sonoma | RealOpty, ok then there should be no issue using rsync to maintain current files on the client system | 08:24 |
| [seb] | this is what i see | 08:24 |
| _pingu | nits: do sudo udatedb and try the locate again | 08:24 |
| _pingu | nits: do sudo updatedb and try the locate again | 08:24 |
| Nebulosa | [seb]: plz do this "file lol_8.tar.gz" | 08:24 |
| RealOpty | Mr_Sonoma, k good | 08:24 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: maybe you moved the phisical plug position of your disk drives as of late? | 08:25 |
| [seb] | Nebulosa xplicit@Yoshi:~/test$ file lol_8.tar.gz | 08:25 |
| [seb] | lol_8.tar.gz: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Sun Aug 8 03:17:11 2010 | 08:25 |
| deostroll | sacarlson, yes, I am back | 08:25 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: maybe you moved the phisical plug position of your disk drives as of late? | 08:25 |
| Mr_Sonoma | RealOpty, i've never used the gui with rsync but that screen shot looks promising doesnt it? | 08:25 |
| RealOpty | Mr_Sonoma, ive used rsync to do this before but i forget how i did it. | 08:25 |
| deostroll | sacarlson, i hve 2 disks...but i manage them separately.... | 08:26 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: I also want to see what is mounted where with the mount comand | 08:26 |
| RealOpty | Mr_Sonoma, it does lol. but thats not necessary. im pretty good at cli | 08:26 |
| Mr_Sonoma | RealOpty, kinda where i'm at. I'm using my laptop at the moment and not the desktop that has it scripted to transfer files to another computer for backup/redundancy purposes | 08:26 |
| deostroll | sacarlson, if I want to boot ubuntu 8.10, i boot frm tht hard disk from the bios it self... | 08:27 |
| RealOpty | Mr_Sonoma, my goal is to compile my software faster. :) | 08:27 |
| oki- | is there a list of irc handles and developer names, or any way to contact devs via launchpad? | 08:27 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: ok well that will change the device names | 08:27 |

| deostroll | sacarlson, nw i've commented wht u told and restarted, but it is still stuck...i'll restart and go to recovery...wait | 08:28 |
| _pingu | MaRk-I: ok, thanks. now I have Times... . Does sombody know a package for Helvetica? | 08:28 |
| oki- | oh launchpad has irc handles | 08:28 |
| JUON | ??? | 08:28 |
| MaRk-I | _pingu: should be the same it downloads several types | 08:29 |
| JUON | Hello???? | 08:29 |
| snowrichard | fsck on my 2TB drive is taking a while | 08:29 |
| oki- | JUON: hello how are you today | 08:29 |
| RealOpty | Mr_Sonoma, so basicly i need the client to keep everything uptodate but dont upload anything to the host other than one folder. | 08:30 |
| Mr_Sonoma | RealOpty, with -c you could skip unchanged files by comparing checksums. That should work well i would think. | 08:30 |
| deostroll | sacarlson, weird now it goes to the login prompt, i don't think the problem is fixed tho...nw wht do you want me to do? | 08:30 |
| Mr_Sonoma | RealOpty, i'm trying to remember the switch to have it pull from the server and not upload | 08:30 |
| _pingu | MaRk-I: Helvetica is not part of ttf-mscorefonts-installer. Do you mean something else? | 08:30 |
| JUON | I'm fine and you??? | 08:30 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: mount | 08:31 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: from a terminal the comand #mount | 08:31 |
| [seb] | Nebulosa any idea how can i extract it? | 08:31 |
| MaRk-I | _pingu: you're right I just checked the list... might be another package | 08:32 |
| Mr_Sonoma | RealOpty, doh! lol its the way you order the systems in the command. i feel so dumb now i should have known that. | 08:32 |
| Nebulosa | [seb]: heh.. tar xf will works fine for me.. ever it's tar.gz.. tar xzvf works too) | 08:32 |
| ronny | hi | 08:32 |
| ronny | is there any ui to configure the services upstart is supposed to start? | 08:32 |
| JUON | hi | 08:32 |
| RealOpty | Mr_Sonoma, i found a old script i used to use(i think?) take a peek. | 08:33 |
| [seb] | Nebulosa i did it | 08:33 |
| ibrahim-kasem | i am using this kernel on 10.04 is there a newer one ? 2.6.32-24-generic | 08:33 |
| [seb] | but i get nothing | 08:33 |
| RealOpty | Mr_Sonoma, http://paste.ubuntu.com/474841/ | 08:33 |
| preetam | can anybody tell me how to download the youtube videos in google chrome in ubuntu 10.04. | 08:33 |
| Nebulosa | [seb]: can i download archive? | 08:33 |
| [seb] | Nebulosa i still have lol_8.tar and lol_8.tar.gz | 08:33 |
| _pingu | MaRk-I: I search with KPackageKit for fonts, but it would take long to find one with Helvetica. And there is no match for that font. Do you know a better way to search? | 08:33 |
| Nebulosa | [seb]: what tar version u have? | 08:34 |
| _pingu | MaRk-I: I meant: There is no match for Helvetica. | 08:34 |

| Nebulosa | yes | 08:36 |
| jasonwryan | preetam: youtube-dl | 08:36 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: it looks ok but maybe just unplug your secound drive and see if it works. if it does just reverse the position you plug them in | 08:37 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: maybe you can just disable one disk in bios | 08:38 |
| deostroll | sacarlson, disable in the bios...hw do u do that? | 08:38 |
| MaRk-I | _pingu: hhmm no idea ATM | 08:38 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: I would do it in hardware but I thought you played in the bios and knew | 08:39 |
| melfy | stupid motd keeps changing back wtf =( | 08:40 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: it is booting as sdb the secound drive so it's getting the grub from sda and I think that could mess it up | 08:40 |
| kuttan_ | Hi all | 08:41 |
| pinPoint | anyone use the Chat Accounts... in ubuntu 10lts? | 08:41 |

| So_Confused | Anyone use DynDns? | 08:46 |
| joebobjoe | So_Confused: i used to :) | 08:46 |
| Slart | So_Confused: yes, I hear it's quite popular | 08:46 |
| pico1234 | anyone know how to connect to a remote terminal application? I can't use the keyboard at the moment. | 08:46 |
| sacarlson | So_Confused: I think so the dynamic dns server? | 08:47 |
| joebobjoe | pico1234: ssh? | 08:47 |
| sacarlson | So_Confused: so I can access my computer from the outside world | 08:47 |
| pico1234 | I can ssh but how do I access the terminal app? | 08:47 |
| So_Confused | sacarlson: yes. I can't get firefox to use the dyndns addy as a proxy. I've an ssh tunnel running to the laptop (server) | 08:47 |
| So_Confused | sacarlson: that's what I want to do, but for a proxy | 08:48 |
| Pap1kott | hi all | 08:48 |
| Pap1kott | ðóññêèå åñòü?:) | 08:48 |
| joebobjoe | are there any benefits to using passive ftp? | 08:48 |
| sacarlson | So_Confused: I have to setup my adsl to forward all trafic port to my static set nat address inside my local network | 08:48 |
| Mr_Sonoma | RealOpty, thats a lot of code LOL its a little late for me to be looking at that much code. but essentially i think this is what your looking for from the command line. rsync -avz -e ssh remoteuser@remotehost:/remote/dir /this/dir/ | 08:48 |
| Pap1kott | so many peoples here | 08:49 |
| kuttan | hi all | 08:49 |
| deostroll | sacarlson, wht is the indication that it is disabled? | 08:49 |
| So_Confused | sacarlson: that confused me | 08:49 |
| RealOpty | Mr_Sonoma, cool thanks. i think this script is gonna work too, testing it out now. | 08:49 |
| Mr_Sonoma | RealOpty, i did see a line or 2 in there that looks like its getting around to running that command. | 08:49 |
| sacarlson | So_Confused: I never did what your doing I just ssh into my system or go to my apache2 server that runs on it | 08:49 |
| ibrahim-kasem | who is using hp laptop ? | 08:50 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: well after boot if you go to terminal and do a fdisk -l you should not see it | 08:50 |
| Mr_Sonoma | RealOpty, basically the command is rsync [the options you want] remotehost:location destinationhost:location to pull from your server | 08:50 |
| kuttan_ | I like my hp laptop with ubuntu 10.04 | 08:50 |
| ibrahim-kasem | kuttan hi I am using hp dv6 1045ee | 08:51 |
| sacarlson | So_Confused: can you already remote into your server from the outside internet? | 08:51 |
| kuttan_ | brahim-kasem: why are you telling that ? anyway hope you like it | 08:51 |
| sacarlson | So_Confused: that's what dynamic dns is for | 08:52 |
| So_Confused | sacarlson: I had someone test the ssh with port 8181 and it worked, but I can't figure out why firefox isn't being redirected with the dyndns addy as a proxy | 08:53 |
| ibrahim-kasem | I have an issue with the update manager, http://paste.ubuntu.com/474851/ | 08:53 |
| _pingu | MaRk-I: Ok, thanks | 08:54 |
| sacarlson | So_Confused: did you forward all port or just 8181 | 08:54 |
| rww | ibrahim-kasem: copy the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list to pastebin | 08:54 |
| So_Confused | sacarlson: just 8181 | 08:54 |
| deostroll | sacarlson, opening up the box is going to take a while... | 08:55 |
| sacarlson | So_Confused: ok then if you want apach2 to use 8181 you would have to set that up also | 08:55 |
| sacarlson | So_Confused: apach2 default to use port 80 | 08:55 |
| ibrahim-kasem | rww, this is the contents of sources.list http://paste.ubuntu.com/474852/ | 08:55 |
| So_Confused | sacarlson: :P | 08:55 |
| sacarlson | So_Confused: can't you just forward all and try it? | 08:56 |
| So_Confused | sacarlson: I don't know how to forward apache2.... don't even know what it is. Didn't hear about it until now. | 08:57 |
| rww | ibrahim-kasem: change "[ YOUR_DISTRO_VERSION]" on line 55 to "lucid", remove the lines with ’quotes’ in them, and consider reading TOR's setup guide more closely. | 08:57 |
| sacarlson | So_Confused: oh and firefox is also default to use port 80 unless you put a url like http//yoursite.com:8181 | 08:57 |
| sacarlson | So_Confused: well apache2 is the other side of what your browser is looking at | 08:58 |
| So_Confused | sacarlson: in firefox prefs/Advanced/network/settings.... I read that after the ssh tunnel and ports are forwarded all I'd have to do is put in the dyndns addy as the proxy | 08:58 |
| So_Confused | sacarlson: isn't apache2 a web server? | 08:59 |
| sacarlson | So_Confused: yes | 08:59 |
| sacarlson | So_Confused: I can only help you with dyndns not your proxy | 08:59 |
| sacarlson | So_Confused: it sounds like you had it working since your friend got in with ssh | 09:00 |
| So_Confused | sacarlson: yes... it was nice to see I made some progress. | 09:00 |
| kuttan_ | 09:00 | |
| MaRk-I | So_Confused: dyndns just gives a name to your IP.... so basically you're proxying through your own IP? | 09:01 |
| sacarlson | So_Confused: I have played with some proxy in the past but I don't recall ever geting it to work. it's hard to test when your always on the same side | 09:01 |
| So_Confused | sacarlson: yes it is | 09:01 |
| bihari | HI MaRk-I | 09:02 |
| kuttan_ | 09:02 | |
| MaRk-I | hello bihari | 09:02 |
| sacarlson | So_Confused: you kind of need two isp in the same location or maybe try setup a vpn so it apears you have two isp to test it | 09:02 |
| bihari | MaRk-I, i have installed it the one use said to me :) | 09:02 |
| So_Confused | MaRk-I: no.... the dyndns addy is always redirected to my dynamic ip. So all I'd have to do is enter that dyndns addy instead of finding out what my ip is | 09:02 |
| bihari | but need some sort of more help :) | 09:02 |
| bihari | MaRk-I, can i Pm you if you dont mind. | 09:03 |
| ibrahim-kasem | rww, is it correct ? deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org lucid main | 09:03 |
| MaRk-I | So_Confused: I understand that, but you want to proxy your own IP | 09:03 |
| sacarlson | So_Confused: why do you need a proxy? | 09:03 |
| MaRk-I | bihari: ok | 09:03 |
| So_Confused | MaRk-I: ah... no. Right now all comps are behind the same router. Going over seas and want to browse through my laptop proxy | 09:03 |
| sacarlson | So_Confused: I think I played with squid | 09:04 |
| ronny | again: anyone aware of a ui tool to configure upstart? | 09:04 |
| rww | ibrahim-kasem: yes | 09:04 |
| So_Confused | sacarlson: squid... I'll look into it | 09:04 |
| So_Confused | sacarlson: that looks like something I'd use if I were hosting a web site | 09:05 |
| Dr_Willis | ronny: ive never seen one. Not a lot to confguring it really | 09:05 |
| Viking667 | ronny: I can't say I've heard of one, and I just installed sysv-tools or -utils (can't remember which) and use a commandline | 09:05 |
| ibrahim-kasem | rww, thank you very much, I was about to format again | 09:05 |
| Dr_Willis | many services use the upstart /etc/init/ type configs. so a lot of the old sysv tools wont work with them | 09:06 |

| shawnboy | I'm having the craziest time trying to record CD from cue sheet. Brasero and Gnomebaker both error saying "cdrdao was compiled without mp3 support." Can anyone help? | 09:13 |
| OpenSourceCode | Then you can't fix it | 09:13 |
| OpenSourceCode | why do you need it? | 09:13 |
| Dr_Willis | shawnboy: install tyhe ubuntu-restricted-extras for mp3 support | 09:13 |
| ibrahim-kasem | OpenSourceCode, that would be great, do you know how ? | 09:13 |
| Dr_Willis | shawnboy: at least i think that pulls in the proper packages | 09:14 |
| shawnboy | Dr_Willis, but I can already play MP3s. Doesn't that mean I already have them? | 09:14 |
| OpenSourceCode | Ibrahim, why do you need nvidia drivers? | 09:14 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: you think the disk is just retrys out sometimes and after enuf tries it just works? | 09:14 |
| ibrahim-kasem | OpenSourceCode, I like the visual effects | 09:14 |
| shawnboy | Dr_Willis, I just verified. I have that package installed. | 09:14 |

| OpenSourceCode | Try google it, maybe someone discovered how to fix that | 09:15 |
| OpenSourceCode | I don't use visual effects so... | 09:16 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: if you think that what it might be maybe boot a live cd and do an fsck /dev/sda1 or something like that | 09:16 |
| ibrahim-kasem | OpenSourceCode, yes I just did and I found this thank you very much http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth-Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml | 09:16 |
| OpenSourceCode | No problem. I hope you fix that | 09:16 |

| deostroll1 | sacarlson, wht wer u trying to say | 09:19 |
| So_Confused | MaRk-I: Here's the link that started all of this with me. Mind you I DO have the tunnel running. But instead of using an ever changing ip addy for the proxy, I've registered at dyndns.com and the addy they gave me is always pointing to my dynamic ip. It's using THAT dyndns address as the proxy I can't figure out. http://lifehacker.com/software/ssh/geek-to-live--encrypt-your-web-browsing-session-wi | 09:19 |

| sacarlson | deostroll: you think the disk is just retrys out sometimes and after enuf tries it just works? | 09:19 |

| shawnboy | Dr_Willis, FYI I may have figured out solution. I think I may have to install tiny package named cue2toc. | 09:19 |
| sacarlson | deostroll: if you think that what it might be maybe boot a live cd and do an fsck | 09:19 |
| shawnboy | Dr_Willis, the short description from aptitude show cue2toc is informative | 09:20 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | If I start with a fresh installation, using the live CD as the source, is there a straight forward command/tool to strip all packages out and get to a minimal system, so that I can build it up from that point? | 09:21 |
| Dr_Willis | LinuxGuy2009: not that i have ever seen or heard of. | 09:21 |
| MaRk-I | So_Confused: yes but the socks is configured for "localhost" meaning you can use 127.0.0.1:8080 once you have the connection established | 09:21 |

| helpmelinux | would someone be able to help me with a question about livecds? | 09:22 |
| MaRk-I | So_Confused: and you need to start the ssh as: ssh -ND <<< note the D | 09:22 |
| deostroll1 | sacarlson, i hve the 2nd hdd w/ ubuntu 8.10...should I boot via that n try wht u said... | 09:23 |
| CerNuNnos | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats | 09:23 |
| So_Confused | MaRk-I: what does -ND stand for? | 09:23 |
| Viking667 | ... though -D needs a port number after it. | 09:23 |
| Viking667 | "man ssh" tells you why | 09:23 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | [seb]: Yes and that is one of the reasons I need this stripped down functionality so I can make an offline repo DVD-R with XFCE, LXDE, KDE, and Gnome, and lots of software packaghes and build my system up custom. I just dont know how to do it. Or if its even possible. | 09:23 |
| helpmelinux | my understanding is that livecd let you know whether your hardware will work for a particular distribution. Is this correct? | 09:24 |
| === deostroll1 is now known as deostroll | ||
| sacarlson | deostroll1: ya I guess that would be ok and find out what it mounts as then do a fsck /dev/sdXX on the ubuntu 10.04 disk | 09:24 |
| kuttan_ | 09:24 | |
| deostroll | sacarlson, k | 09:24 |
| MaRk-I | So_Confused: read that page where it says "update" N tells ssh not to open an interactive window | 09:25 |
| MaRk-I | D for socks i believe | 09:25 |
| neo_ | Hi :) | 09:25 |
| So_Confused | MaRk-I: kk... | 09:25 |
| helpmelinux | why can't i get a distro to install even though the livecd will work on my system? | 09:25 |
| Viking667 | MaRk-I: -D means to do forwarding, I think. but you need to specify at least a port number after D | 09:25 |
| songer | hello | 09:26 |
| helpmelinux | i am trying to understand why a distro will not install on my system even though the livecd will run without a hitch on the same system. Any explainations? | 09:27 |
| So_Confused | MaRk-I: ssh -N -D 8181 user@192.168.2.3 Is that right? Because it's saying that it's trying to connect on port 22, and it's refused | 09:27 |
| abhijit | hi. | 09:28 |
| ibrahim-kasem | abhijit, hi :) | 09:29 |
| So_Confused | MaRk-I: each way I enter the command it's saying that port 22 is refusing | 09:29 |
| helpmelinux | Can anyone explain why an Ubuntu distro does not install on my system although my system will run the Ubuntu livecd without a hitch? | 09:29 |
| Viking667 | uh, no idea? | 09:30 |
| Viking667 | What error do you get when it tries to install? | 09:30 |
| abhijit | hello ibrahim-kasem | 09:30 |
| songer | hello | 09:31 |
| helpmelinux | no errors. it tells me that it completed and that I need to restart the system. When I do, it boots up to a grub rescue prompt. | 09:31 |
| songer | i'm trying to install a program | 09:31 |
| helpmelinux | I'm not very astute with Linux. | 09:31 |
| Viking667 | helpmelinux: hm. What are you telling grub when it asks where to install to? | 09:32 |
| ibrahim-kasem | abhijit, :) ;) | 09:32 |
| songer | how can i go to the directory where i have the program | 09:32 |
| songer | like desktop | 09:33 |
| ibrahim-kasem | songer, why do you want to see the directory ? | 09:33 |
| pepper_haze | I am pissed off, I installed virtual-box OSE from the ubuntu repositories and found that I got a error msg that virtual box doesn't run with Ubuntu's kernal? | 09:33 |
| helpmelinux | I instruct the installer to wipe out the entire disk and use it all. When I look into where the installer is loading grub, it is set to hd0 | 09:33 |
| songer | says no such file or direcotory | 09:33 |
| songer | to install the program | 09:33 |
| Viking667 | helpmelinux: sounds about right... | 09:33 |
| songer | Then go to the uncompressed directory and begin the installatio | 09:33 |
| ibrahim-kasem | songer, are you installing a program from a deb file ? | 09:34 |
| songer | tar.gz | 09:34 |
| helpmelinux | Viking667: any idea as to what's happening for the installer not to install grub correctly? | 09:34 |
| songer | i uncompressed on desktop | 09:34 |
| pepper_haze | does anyone know why a ubuntu package wouldn't be compatible with its kernal? | 09:35 |
| abhijit | songer, use cd | 09:35 |
| Viking667 | helpmelinux: I wish I knew, frankly. | 09:35 |
| SwedeMike | pepper_haze: compatible how? | 09:35 |
| songer | cd | 09:35 |
| ibrahim-kasem | when you install it using the terminal make sure that you are in the same folder use pwd to know where you are | 09:35 |
| helpmelinux | Viking667: any suggestions of a workaround? | 09:35 |
| ibrahim-kasem | songer, when you install it using the terminal make sure that you are in the same folder use pwd to know where you are | 09:35 |
| abhijit | songer, not here. in your terminal to go to your software directory e.g. cd /home | 09:35 |
| jasonwryan | songer: then cd Desktop/program | 09:35 |
| Viking667 | honestly? Boot up with LiveCD, mount the hard disk's partition, cd to the mountpoint, chroot . /bin/sh | 09:36 |
| pepper_haze | SwedeMike, the ubuntu site said that ubuntu was built for virtualisation with kvm, and I got a error msg with virtual box saying that the linux kernal I use has a kvm extension on it and I need to recompile it | 09:36 |

| Fate_Testarossa | why are you !tab`ing others? | 09:58 |
| abhijit | Fate_Testarossa, to let them know that they dont need to copy paste nicks. nick can be autocompleted. it saves time. | 09:58 |

| robyromania | Fate_Testarossa, so what's the best codec for decoding mkv in mplayer? i have a 3 ghz pentium 4 | 10:00 |
| paranoidphreak | KE1HA: oh, is there any other download manager out there that allows me access to the downloading file? | 10:00 |
| Fate_Testarossa | mkv is a container | 10:00 |
| Fate_Testarossa | codecs are different thing | 10:00 |
| afief | Is it possible to change the text on the 10.04 boot screen? | 10:00 |
| Fate_Testarossa | but i reckon you`ve got AVC (also called H.264 among other names) there | 10:01 |
| Fate_Testarossa | which means you want ffh264 (FFmpeg H.264 implementation) | 10:01 |
| Fate_Testarossa | if it`s available, mplayer will use it | 10:01 |
| Fate_Testarossa | btw, it`s compiled in mplayer | 10:02 |
| Fate_Testarossa | at least usually | 10:02 |
| tripelb-liveCD | I need to know some things (please) how is sda and sdb determined? Why can't I partition sdb and ignore sba? must the system go onto sba? That's not the drive I want it on. | 10:02 |
| Fate_Testarossa | no idea about precompiled mplayer builds in ubuntu as i build it myself | 10:02 |
| Fate_Testarossa | oh | 10:02 |
| Fate_Testarossa | right | 10:02 |
| KE1HA | paranoidphreak, It also depends on the file type, if it's a Binary file (compiled) its a non-starter, but as asci file, you could use Tail -f or something in a terminal to show new data. You risk file corruption on a file that's being DL'ed. I dont know of a DL manager that will do that off hand. | 10:03 |
| Fate_Testarossa | robyromania, you could try vlc for starters | 10:03 |

| robyromania | Fate_Testarossa, ok, thanks. i'm not really a starter, there's just a lot of codecs and it takes me too much time to test them all, with all the options. i thought, maybe i find someone experienced in HD vide decoding | 10:04 |
| songer | thaks for your help guys | 10:05 |
| Fate_Testarossa | robyromania, oh you meant that by hd | 10:05 |
| Fate_Testarossa | :D | 10:05 |
| Fate_Testarossa | vlc is pretty bad | 10:05 |
| paranoidphreak | KE1HA: i'm interested in dloading ISO files | 10:05 |
| robyromania | Fate_Testarossa, yeah, i meant high definiton. like 720p and 1080p | 10:06 |
| Fate_Testarossa | but for a change it currently does work though i didn`t do extensive testing | 10:06 |
| Fate_Testarossa | and i suspect there will be problems with ASS | 10:06 |
| Fate_Testarossa | also there aren`t that many codecs | 10:06 |
| songer | jasonwryan. abhijit Ibrahim-kasem | 10:06 |
| Fate_Testarossa | most use ffh264 | 10:06 |
| ibrahim-kasem | songer, your welcome :) | 10:06 |
| bareego | is ffh264 any better than the x264 codec ? | 10:07 |
| Fate_Testarossa | on windows (and on Linux via win32codecs wrapper) you can use coreavc | 10:07 |
| Fate_Testarossa | x264 is for ENCODING | 10:07 |
| Fate_Testarossa | only | 10:07 |
| Fate_Testarossa | and it`s the best the world has | 10:07 |
| bareego | oh, sorry, you were talking about decoding, lol | 10:07 |
| paranoidphreak | KE1HA: thanks anyways for your help......i'll keep looking in the synaptic to find a package that's suitable to me | 10:07 |
| Fate_Testarossa | if only anyone could help with my cute problem... | 10:08 |
| KE1HA | paranoidphreak, Oh, ok, I certainly don't know of an app for ISO viewing during download. I use Zsync to keep all the ISO I want up to date. | 10:08 |
| bareego | cute or acute ? | 10:09 |
| Fate_Testarossa | well, if ffh264 workds, it`s the best | 10:09 |
| Fate_Testarossa | if not, one can try CoreAVC | 10:09 |
| Fate_Testarossa | bareego, both | 10:09 |
| Fate_Testarossa | <Fate_Testarossa> hi, when my laptop is on battery ubuntu doesn`t recognise my nokia 6120c as a mobile broadband modem but on a/c it does it without a problem | 10:09 |
| KE1HA | paranoidphreak, check out ubuntu-qa-tools there's a script in it called d-ubuntu-test-iso. can be useful for other ISO's as well. Just ahve to do a few mods / tweeks to it. | 10:10 |
| KE1HA | dl-ubuntu-test-iso* | 10:11 |
| bareego | wouldn't know, don't even have a lappy | 10:11 |
| Raptors | Hey guys, is there a good light scheduling application for ubuntu that'll create a popup to remind me to do something? | 10:11 |
| mcnellis | what's the difference between nano and pico? | 10:11 |
| kuttan_ | anybody who can help with privoxy | 10:11 |
| bareego | Fate_Testarossa, it wouldn't have something to do with the power profile ? | 10:11 |
| Viking667 | mcnellis: not much. | 10:11 |
| bareego | Fate_Testarossa, might put USB on power saving or summink on bat | 10:11 |
| Viking667 | licencing, I think | 10:11 |
| paranoidphreak | KE1HA: my filesystem partition is very small and i'm worried the incompleted file is being downloaded on that before it's moved to the location i had specified to save the files | 10:11 |
| Fate_Testarossa | as far as i can tell that profile is to primitive to handle that | 10:11 |
| Fate_Testarossa | also lsusb does list my nokia as connected | 10:12 |
| Viking667 | mcnellis: pico went with the pine mailclient, nano was a rewrite under a different licence. | 10:12 |
| rww | mcnellis: nano is a free software clone of pico | 10:12 |
| bareego | tried it on a powered usb hub ? | 10:12 |
| ph8 | hey all, i had a windows disk that i'd unplugged while installing ubuntu - i've plugged it back in now - how can i add it to grub? grub2 looks so much more complicated than grub 1 ! | 10:12 |
| Fate_Testarossa | <bareego> tried it on a powered usb hub ? <--- uh? | 10:12 |
| Kwpolska | ph8: congratulations. | 10:13 |
| Viking667 | ... given that the pine client was written under a somewhat restrictive licence from some university. | 10:13 |
| Kwpolska | you can try grub-update or somewhat else. | 10:13 |
| rww | ph8: if you run "sudo update-grub", it should autodetect | 10:13 |
| tripelb-liveCD | I need to know some things (please) how is sda and sdb determined? Why can't I partition sdb and ignore sba? must the system go onto sba? That's not the drive I want it on. | 10:13 |
| MaRk-I | ph8: try : sudo update-grub see if auto detect gets it | 10:13 |
| ph8 | sexy! | 10:13 |
| ph8 | lets see | 10:13 |
| Kwpolska | I would install it with the W. disk | 10:13 |
| ph8 | oh so it did | 10:13 |
| ph8 | that was easy :-) | 10:13 |
| Kwpolska | tripelb-liveCD: by magic | 10:13 |
| FloodBot2 | ph8: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:13 |
| bareego | you can get lil external USB device with extra ports that has it's own power supply | 10:13 |
| Kwpolska | tripelb-liveCD: it doesn't, I think. | 10:13 |
| ph8 | yeh i would have installed with the windows disk but it had some other issues that are now sorted | 10:13 |
| ph8 | thx for help | 10:13 |
| Slart | tripelb-liveCD: you don't have to install the system to sda | 10:13 |
| KE1HA | paranoidphreak, if you specified the final location, and there's plenty of space there, you should have any trouble. | 10:13 |
| bareego | if you happened to have one it would have been something to try out | 10:13 |
| KE1HA | oops you should "not" have .. .. | 10:14 |
| farkgis | salut | 10:14 |
| sandking | how can i update BIOS from linux? | 10:14 |
| Fate_Testarossa | bareego, the point is i want to use it without external power source | 10:14 |
| Viking667 | sandking: you don.t | 10:14 |
| KE1HA | paranoidphreak, what app are you using to download with ? | 10:14 |
| Viking667 | sandking: you put the BIOS image onto a FreeDOS boot disk | 10:14 |
| Viking667 | (floppy, usually) | 10:14 |
| Slart | sandking: it depends on who made your motherboard.. some manufacturers are very windows-focused.. others are somewhat better | 10:14 |
| farkgis | quelqu'un sais pourquoi | 10:14 |

| tripelb-liveCD | hi slart: I want to put it on sdb. I ask to partition it and it jumps to partition sda. I'm reading gparted help. this is new. | 10:15 |
| sandking | Viking667, i assume that booting it from pendrive should work? | 10:15 |
| tripelb-liveCD | farkis bon chance. | 10:15 |
| Raptors | is there a application that I can run that'll output a text in a popup? | 10:15 |
| Raptors | from the terminal | 10:15 |
| paranoidphreak | KE1HA: im currently using "MultiGet" and it only shows the file in that folder once it's completed | 10:15 |
| maco | Raptors: zenity | 10:15 |
| tripelb-liveCD | Raptors: yes but I forget, it's almost like gedit | 10:15 |
| Slart | tripelb-liveCD: hmm.. never had gparted do that.. I've partitioned lots of drives.. it's always done its thing as I asked | 10:16 |
| tripelb-liveCD | Raptors: yes but I forget, it's called something almost like gedit | 10:16 |
| Viking667 | sandking: only if the OS on the pendrive knows how to read the drive in question | 10:16 |
| Slart | Raptors: notify-send | 10:16 |
| kuttan_ | 10:16 | |
| KE1HA | paranoidphreak, if its the partition space you worked about, not th file itself initially, use the system resource monitor or DF to watch the disk space closely. I use Zsync or rsync because it dramatically cuts down on DL time. | 10:18 |
| KE1HA | .. worried* | 10:18 |
| tripelb-liveCD | slart, this is in "install" I think I'll go to gparted. -- I've been working on this installation all day. I'm learning as I go. I didnt realize what some things were and I see it now. It can be in front of my eyes but I might not know how to interpret it. (and someone gave me a good idea of what sized to make the sections.) Question: LVM is automatic in fedora/redhat? the same in ubuntu? | 10:18 |
| Slart | tripelb-liveCD: I have no idea how lvm works in ubuntu, I've never used it myself | 10:19 |
| paranoidphreak | KE1HA: got it, thanks | 10:19 |

| tripelb-liveCD | please look at my question - more fun than bodyparts - as I understand it in ubuntu we use a partition table of type msdos. Is this true? | 10:23 |
| maco | tripelb-liveCD: someone already said "true" to you | 10:24 |

| Minifab | u can use dig util | 10:25 |
| Minifab | for dns reverse | 10:25 |
| Fate_Testarossa | just try resolve<tab> | 10:25 |
| ph8 | thx | 10:25 |
| Fate_Testarossa | nobarking, gentoo does have that | 10:25 |
| Fate_Testarossa | so yes | 10:25 |
| andyn | host should also work just fine. dig will output all the information it can get from the dns server | 10:25 |
| heyboy | I am not able to my USB Modem on Kubuntu 10.04 | 10:25 |
| Fate_Testarossa | how: via porting of features | 10:25 |
| tripelb-liveCD | Fate_Testarossa: I've been learning ie working on setting up this new hd all day. back in gparted. want to set up partitions. Does ubuntu need a primary partition or can it all be extended and logical? | 10:25 |
| heyboy | sorry, | 10:26 |
| heyboy | I am not able to connect my USB Modem on Kubuntu 10.04 | 10:26 |
| Fate_Testarossa | tripelb-liveCD, it can be any kind of partition, afaik | 10:26 |
| Fate_Testarossa | but i generally go with primary | 10:26 |
| MaRk-I | heyboy: is that one of them modems that have their own windows drivers? | 10:26 |
| heyboy | yes | 10:27 |
| heyboy | ZTE | 10:27 |
| Fate_Testarossa | also i think at least some bioses expect at least the first partition to be primary | 10:27 |
| heyboy | Connects as a flash drive with driver installer on it. | 10:27 |
| MaRk-I | heyboy: install usb-modeswitch, unplug the usb, plug it back and just unmout the folder | 10:27 |
| heyboy | let me try. | 10:28 |
| andyn | Fate_Testarossa: my amilo l1300 expects a msdos type partition table and it won't boot the mbr if there is no active partition :P | 10:28 |
| heyboy | I do have usb-modeswitch installed though | 10:28 |
| MaRk-I | heyboy: then just right click the folder "unmount" and check network manager | 10:28 |
| andyn | Fate_Testarossa: so, it really depends on the bios. anything should work on a decent one, though | 10:28 |
| ss_ | hi. i got ubuntu 10.04. and apple mac book pro. i cant adjust brightness | 10:29 |
| heyboy | let me try | 10:29 |
| Fate_Testarossa | andyn, does that meant that you tried to format the whole drive without partitioning? | 10:29 |
| Fate_Testarossa | as you mentioned an msdos partition table | 10:29 |
| KE1HA | tripelb-liveCD, is this new Hard-Drive going to have only Ubuntu instilled on it ? If so, Download the Ubuntu-Alternate-Desktop versions. From that ISO you will have several options for install, two of which being LVM. | 10:29 |
| andyn | Fate_Testarossa: no, i partitioned it normally and expected it to boot grub from mbr as any real bios should do. instead it just reported no os found. i had to set that active partition even though it should only affect dos and win bootloaders | 10:30 |
| KE1HA | tripelb-liveCD, and for standard install, stick with the suggesitons /boot ext4 /root ext4 /swap not FS and your LVM make it whatever you choose / need. | 10:31 |
| Fate_Testarossa | KE1HA, /boot can/should be unjournalised | 10:32 |
| Fate_Testarossa | ext2 works fine | 10:32 |
| Fate_Testarossa | as for / - ext4 is awful | 10:32 |
| Fate_Testarossa | i prefer xfs | 10:32 |
| Raptors | is there a application that I can run that'll output a text in a popup? | 10:32 |
| Fate_Testarossa | the rest: definitely xfs/tmpfs | 10:32 |
| KE1HA | Fate_Testarossa, can be any number of FS, but the current mode (which makes support much easier) is ext4 | 10:32 |
| Raptors | from terminal | 10:32 |
| Slart | Raptors: what was wrong with notify-send? | 10:32 |
| Fate_Testarossa | number? | 10:33 |
| Fate_Testarossa | KE1HA, number? | 10:33 |
| heyboy | MaRk-I: it is not mounted anywhere. | 10:33 |
| KE1HA | Fate_Testarossa, riserfs, ext2, ext3 etc etc any number of file_systems etc. | 10:33 |
| Raptors | <Slart> Raptors: what was wrong with notify-send? | 10:33 |
| Raptors | its not in repo :\ | 10:33 |
| Slart | Raptors: or zenity.. which was also suggested to you | 10:34 |
| Fate_Testarossa | KE1HA, stfu | 10:34 |
| heyboy | MaRk-I: but is recognized and is showing in the NM applet (in the tray) | 10:34 |
| Fate_Testarossa | try xfs for /boot | 10:34 |
| Raptors | Slart, I can't figure out how to use zenity | 10:34 |
| Raptors | :\ | 10:34 |
| jussi | !stfu | Fate_Testarossa | 10:34 |
| ubottu | Fate_Testarossa: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. | 10:34 |
| Fate_Testarossa | btw, despite what you might find, it does actually work | 10:34 |
| KE1HA | that's my fvorite actually XFS. | 10:34 |
| Slart | Raptors: the package is called libnotify-bin, the command is notify-send | 10:34 |
| Fate_Testarossa | but it`s slightly tricky to pull off | 10:34 |
| MaRk-I | heyboy: then you select it and edit settings | 10:35 |
| Slart | !info libnotify-bin | Raptors | 10:35 |
| ubottu | Raptors: libnotify-bin (source: libnotify): sends desktop notifications to a notification daemon. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.5-1ubuntu4 (lucid), package size 6 kB, installed size 68 kB | 10:35 |
| Raptors | Slart, that's perfect :) | 10:35 |
| Raptors | thanks | 10:35 |
| nisstyre65 | Why doesn't the stock ubuntu xinitrc have something like 'exec gnome-session' ? It references some script instead... | 10:35 |
| KE1HA | Fate_Testarossa, hence, for the non-filesystem experts, they are better off sticking with the main-stream recomendaitons, if for no other reason than support, especially if extreme performance is not a key selection factor. | 10:36 |
| Fate_Testarossa | KE1HA, more like ext4 is pretty slow | 10:37 |
| Fate_Testarossa | also, for / blocksize is very important | 10:37 |
| KE1HA | Fate_Testarossa, we use XFS on out HPC clusters, but the minor performance achievements are only "seen" when running apps that take days to compile, and the average user would "never" see the diff. | 10:38 |
| Fate_Testarossa | i`d suggest going with 1024 for / and 4096 or even 8192 for partitions that will hold BIG files | 10:38 |
| Fate_Testarossa | KE1HA, what kind of apps are those? | 10:39 |
| KE1HA | Maxwells equations. | 10:39 |
| Fate_Testarossa | i see | 10:39 |
| KE1HA | real-time-regression of optial refractions in silicon substrates. | 10:39 |
| Fate_Testarossa | for solar panels or something like that? | 10:40 |

| Viking667 | weird | 10:48 |
| llutz | Muffler: you cannot chown a non-unix filesystem, use mountoptions (read man mount) | 10:48 |
| tripelb-liveCD | KE1HA: I'm trying to. But I've been working on it all day. the installer wont make partitions on sdb, when I request that it changes to sda (which is windows and should be untouched). I have no idea why one is sda and one is sdb. sdb is a SATA drive. sba is an IDE drive. sdb is a new drive. I made one big primary partition so far. I want to subdivide it. | 10:48 |
| KE1HA | tripelb-liveCD,so this is a Dual-Boot system then yes ? | 10:49 |
| tripelb-liveCD | KE1HA: to help me out, please use my name in every line for me. That makes it color it. | 10:49 |

| KE1HA | Addtionally, in allot of BIOS, you need to set the flag to "allow USB Boot Also" | 11:04 |
| AlphaWaves | hi | 11:04 |

| x86br | yes, same thing | 11:06 |
| x86br | Remember its a external hd, not a flash drive. | 11:06 |

| abhijit | leenuks, there is scanner software in appliations>graphics. also you check the cd you got with printer. see if it has some driver or software for linux | 11:12 |
| KE1HA | x86br, ok, We still can't rule-out that the ISO you burnt to the CD isn't bad. Sounds like the ISO itself is valid, as the flash drive boots it ok. What speed did you burn the ISO to CD at ? | 11:12 |
| abhijit | dwade----, compiz fusion is there in ubuntu software cneter | 11:12 |

| coz_ | blue_, oh! and with the usb install ...is there a menu that shows up just before the install ...with options like Start without installing...or check for errors ?? | 11:28 |
| blue_ | does it have anyting to do with my hdd setup? I have them setup as raid 0 striped | 11:29 |
| leenuks | abhijit, thanks for your help. | 11:29 |
| blue_ | yes | 11:29 |
| abhijit | leenuks, printer working? | 11:29 |
| coz_ | blue_, well it should not have issues with raid...but if it has options for checking for errors...that should be run first | 11:29 |
| KE1HA | chilli0, Just checked, Banshee does have a plug-in for iTune Library: http://code.google.com/p/banshee-itunes-import-plugin/ | 11:29 |
| blue_ | ok, will do, Ill be back | 11:30 |
| coz_ | blue_, however... if it does have issues with raid set up.... I am not aware of it | 11:30 |
| chilli0 | KE1HA, It doesn't work =O , ipod doesn't show up on it. | 11:30 |
| yudi1 | bullgard: KE1HA: how would I set up empathy so that it does not ue third party protocol. the reason i was asking about ekiga - it supports h323 which is supposed to be very good | 11:30 |
| intel | how do we delete temp files | 11:30 |
| abhijit | intel, sudo rm /tmp/filename | 11:31 |
| coz_ | intel, where is this "temp" file located? | 11:31 |
| KE1HA | chilli0, well that's not good :-) .. I've not used it personally, so don't know all the setup requirements. Did you go though the Apps manager ? Also, there's a site i know for setting these up, hold on, will go look it up. | 11:31 |
| alex87 | can you get back ported kernels in ubuntu (ie, 2.6.33+)? | 11:32 |
| leenuks | abhijit, it was always working i was just looking for a way to be able to scan to pc.j | 11:32 |
| chilli0 | KE1HA, Thanks. And yeah I had a look at most of the stuff. But All I need is either something that can add songs. Or a music player that can play from a folder on the ipod touch. | 11:32 |
| abhijit | leenuks, so is scanner working now? | 11:32 |
| leenuks | abhijit, not yet, the hp utility is not finding my printer and i don't have any more time to hang around now. thanks though. | 11:32 |
| abhijit | leenuks, ok. bye | 11:33 |

| Viking667 | hm. | 11:34 |
| KE1HA | chilli0, Have a read of this one: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/9266 | 11:34 |
| Viking667 | See if metacity appears in "ps ax" listing | 11:34 |
| coz_ | cambosandman, hit alt+F2 type metacity --replace | 11:34 |
| chilli0 | KE1HA, Will do thanks. | 11:34 |
| Viking667 | ^^ if you don't see metacity running ^^ | 11:34 |
| coz_ | cambosandman, why did you remove compiz... and how did you do that? | 11:34 |
| chilli0 | KE1HA, I dont have windows =P , but gtkpod might work. | 11:35 |
| rooks | in which repository gm-notify is placed? | 11:35 |
| cambosandman | coz_, compiz appeared to be causing my mouse/keyboard to lock up after running for 5 to 30 seconds | 11:36 |
| abhijit | !info gn-notify | rooks | 11:36 |
| cambosandman | with apptitude | 11:36 |
| ubottu | rooks: Package gn-notify does not exist in lucid | 11:36 |
| KE1HA | chilli0, its sounds like it's a mount / umount issue if it's not beeing seen by USB. when you plug it in, cna you go to Places >> and see it listed there ? | 11:36 |
| coz_ | cambosandman, mmm thats odd | 11:36 |
| chilli0 | KE1HA, I can see the ipod touch , get into it and everything. | 11:36 |
| blue_ | coz_ the only test option there was is to test memory | 11:36 |
| cambosandman | That command fixed it | 11:36 |
| chilli0 | But to get the music showing in the default player , you need to edit the database. | 11:36 |
| coz_ | cambosandman, cool | 11:36 |

| guntbert | rooks: you asked for the command line tool to make notifies appear? | 11:37 |
| coz_ | cambosandman, if not ...come back ...I am sure someone here can help with the hunting down of the culprit | 11:38 |

| blue_ | well i didnt have to but... | 11:39 |
| === emil is now known as Guest52305 | ||
| guntbert | rooks: yes, but there is no package gm-notify, so it cannot be in any repo, I misinterpreted then... | 11:39 |
| chilli0 | KE1HA, Thanks. | 11:39 |

| mahioo | hello guy, | 11:45 |
| ankit | yes saw,but it does not changes | 11:45 |
| coz_ | blue_, definitly puzzling.... did you try downloading the alternate cd or the minimal install cd and try it from either or both of those?? | 11:45 |
| AlphaWaves | im banned | 11:45 |
| Viking667 | shahrooz: hm. Did you read the README file? | 11:45 |
| Viking667 | (if there is one) | 11:45 |
| rooks | guntbert, i guess , meh, i should keep notice of installing one-off packages | 11:45 |
| rooks | :) | 11:45 |
| shahrooz | Viking667: yes, it says just type makeall and I did | 11:45 |
| Viking667 | "make all" | 11:45 |
| Viking667 | right. | 11:45 |
| mahioo | in ubuntu 10.04 and mint 9 , the xsplash has changed to plymouth or no !! | 11:45 |
| ankit | it does not changes to new one | 11:45 |
| Viking667 | What are the prerequisites? It's missing something | 11:46 |
| coz_ | mahioo, I am not sure about mint | 11:46 |
| shahrooz | Viking667: I dont know, its for my dvb card | 11:46 |
| mahioo | coz_: and ubuntu | 11:46 |
| blue_ | coz_, have not tried that. When I do get this installed, am I out of luck with a x-fi sound card or is there a way to get it to work? | 11:46 |
| guntbert | rooks: :-) | 11:46 |
| skumara | is there any way i can find out signal strength, download speed and connection type like 3G or EDGE or HSDPA in my mobile broadband in ubuntu? | 11:47 |
| Viking667 | shahrooz: there's probably some stuff that provides what you're missing | 11:47 |
| shahrooz | Viking667: I didnt find anything, thats why I put the package cuz maybe someone sees something I dont | 11:47 |
| coz_ | blue_, again ...not sure... my first concern would be the actual install and I would definitly try burning one or both the minimal and the alternate cd at 1x but be sure to check the md5sum on those... the seeif the sound works | 11:47 |
| Wildcat_ | ode.net | 11:47 |
| coz_ | blue_, there is always the alternative to manually compile alsa ...most likely...for that | 11:48 |
| blue_ | coz_, ok will do, thanks for your time bro | 11:48 |
| coz_ | blue_, no problem let me know | 11:48 |
| mahioo | coz_: tell me !! | 11:48 |
| blue_ | coz_, looking for minimal cd now | 11:48 |
| shahrooz | Viking667: would you check it please ? http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/archive/0276304b76b9.tar.bz2 | 11:49 |
| coz_ | mahioo, I dont know anything about mint...however in ubuntu the plymouth images have changed from before if that is what you mean | 11:49 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | I tried doing an Ubuntu Minimal installation on an offline machine and it looks like it cant be done. Does the alternate CD have a minimal install option for an offline machine? | 11:49 |
| blue_ | coz_, where do I find the minimal? | 11:49 |
| ankit | still no success,it does not changes the password | 11:49 |
| coz_ | blue_, the minimal install cd works very much like the alternate install..hold on | 11:49 |
| mahioo | coz_: so in lucid there no xsplash , he moved to plymouth | 11:50 |
| wers | error building sparkleshare. got "No package 'ndesk-dbus-1.0' found" no 'ndesk-dbus-1.0 in the repos. how do I fix this? | 11:50 |
| coz_ | mahioo, as far as I know that is correct | 11:50 |
| mahioo | coz_: ok | 11:50 |
| Viking667 | shahrooz: can't do. | 11:51 |
| coz_ | blue_, read this while I look for the download link...<<, talks about installing onto raid https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation | 11:51 |
| blue_ | coz_, im seeing 3 options, server, desktop (which i have) and alternate. so I go for alt image? | 11:51 |
| coz_ | blue_, hold on | 11:51 |
| shahrooz | Is there anyone to help me to install my dvb card ? | 11:52 |
| coz_ | blue_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 11:52 |

| Viking667 | compiz-config | 11:53 |
| KE1HA | blue_, the minimal-install is just that though, very minimal. The server install has all of of good tools that are used often in most cases. | 11:53 |
| coz_ | freeride, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem | 11:53 |
| Viking667 | I can't remember the binary's name, it begins with c, I know that much | 11:53 |

| KE1HA | and is a good command-line only distro. | 11:53 |
| Viking667 | that's it | 11:54 |
| verbatimss | is there any important difference between apt-get and aptitude? | 11:54 |
| Viking667 | aptitude builds its own database separate from apt, doesn't it? | 11:54 |
| coz_ | verbatimss, well there is ... I personally only use apt | 11:54 |
| riyaz | please tell me how to get 3d cube,sphere effects in ubuntu 10.04!! | 11:55 |
| Viking667 | riyaz: ccsm. | 11:55 |

| Jelou | Hello, anyone with a Vodafone mobile knows how to access to the filesystem? i've tried BitPim but doesn't work | 11:55 |
| coz_ | blue_, one thing about minimal cd...everything is downloaded from the net and all of the current updates are installed at this time...there will be a window to choose which type of install use the arrows to scoll and the spacebar to tick the box | 11:56 |
| Viking667 | Jelou: what sort of phone? That often depends. | 11:56 |
| Viking667 | Jelou: i.e. I use wammu to access the filesystem on our phone. | 11:56 |

| LjL | abhijit: if you say so. i don't have an Ubuntu to test now, but i think if "!find" here gives a result, then so should "aptitude search" | 11:58 |
| coz_ | blue_, you will have the choice of kubuntu ubuntu edubuntu and many other choices... I have just recently switched to edubuntu since it has both kde and gnome libraries and I chose the edubuntu desktop but it also is must more speedy than if you installed it on an exisiting ubuntu system | 11:58 |

| coz_ | TiK, on the left click the "Effects" category | 12:04 |
| medfly | Kwpolska, not switching partitions or anything :| | 12:04 |
| coz_ | TiK, then click the "Animations" plugin to get into it's settings | 12:04 |
| medfly | I suppose I could try. | 12:04 |
| Kwpolska | medfly: copy it to another disk or whatever | 12:04 |
| coz_ | TiK, there you will see the minimize animation tab | 12:04 |
| TiK | cuz: ah nice | 12:04 |
| coz_ | TiK, now just to be sure | 12:04 |
| medfly | ok nvm, so there is no convenient way, thx | 12:04 |
| medfly | just seemed like a pretty common thing someone would wanna do | 12:05 |
| coz_ | TiK, under that tab ...and just below the words.."Open Effect" you should see 3 animations listed in the field | 12:05 |
| riyaz | how can i extract the root password?\ | 12:05 |
| TiK | coz: yes | 12:05 |
| oCean_ | riyaz: there is no root pw | 12:05 |
| coz_ | TiK, click the first one in the list then hit the "Edit" button just below this is where the options are for that including choosing the animation | 12:05 |
| Viking667 | geez. Stop trying to CRACK the machine already! | 12:05 |
| TiK | riyaz: you can change it with sudo | 12:05 |
| mahioo | can i see my plymouth theme without restating the system !! | 12:05 |
| TiK | coz: ok | 12:06 |
| riyaz | oh thanks | 12:06 |
| sidharth | hi there. | 12:06 |
| coz_ | TiK, let me know if you get hung up with it | 12:06 |
| oCean_ | TiK: we don't recommend setting a root pw | 12:06 |
| coz_ | mahioo, mmm let me find the command hold on | 12:06 |
| ibrahim-kasem | I am losing the rdp connection to a remote server machine ! what should I do , i am the only one having this issue it happened after updating from 9.10 to the new luicd | 12:07 |
| sidharth | is it possible to connect to mysql database using a c based frontend. I mean are there any sockets in library for the same? | 12:07 |
| coz_ | mahioo try this sudo plymouth --show-splash ; for ((I=0; I<10; I++)); do sudo plymouth --update=test$I ; sleep 1; done; sudo plymouth quit | 12:07 |
| riyaz | i have given a password while installing but now when i give it to change to root by su i doesn't work but it works on gui,why it is so?? | 12:08 |
| oCean_ | sidharth: how is that an ubuntu issue? | 12:08 |
| TiK | coz: awesome | 12:08 |
| guntbert | !root | riyaz | 12:08 |
| ubottu | riyaz: 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 | 12:08 |
| TiK | coz: I just set it too random | 12:08 |
| abhijit | sidharth, ask in #mysql | 12:08 |
| guntbert | !sudo | riyaz | 12:08 |
| ubottu | riyaz: 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 | 12:08 |
| coz_ | TiK, cool that is one options for sure :) | 12:08 |
| sidharth | thanx dude. | 12:08 |
| Karen_m | is there a gnome top? | 12:08 |
| Viking667 | yup, I think there is. | 12:08 |

| * Viking667 shrugs | 12:09 | |
| michiellus | hello, why doesnt the ubuntu 10 install .iso have the option to choose for encrypted filesystem during installation setup? | 12:09 |
| coz_ | mahioo, understood...it didnt work here either ...hold on | 12:09 |
| guntbert | michiellus: use the alternate CD for that | 12:09 |
| ibrahim-kasem | why am i losing the rdp connection ?? | 12:09 |
| TiK | question: How do I made the desktop backround changeevery 10 mins or so? | 12:09 |
| verbatimss | what system calls should I "grep" in order to know everything a given program stores in my disk (logs, temp files, etc.). I am "grepping" for O_WR, mkdir and rename at this moment. Is that enough or should I look for anything else? | 12:10 |
| michiellus | ;9 | 12:10 |
| michiellus | :( | 12:10 |
| Kwpolska | ibrahim-kasem: your network might work inproperly | 12:10 |
| verbatimss | (I am using strace, by the way) | 12:10 |

| Kwpolska | unix* | 12:10 |

| Kwpolska | skumara: wghy do you need that? | 12:21 |

| Viking667 | hang on... _modem_ ? | 12:21 |
| skumara | Kwpolska, why not more than 3! | 12:21 |
| kriss3d | Can anyone tell me what this means ?: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.34_2.6.34-10.00.Custom-bt8_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/lib/firmware', which is also in package udev | 12:22 |
| LetsGo67 | Kwpolska: proxy/filter to block bad sites. | 12:22 |
| Kwpolska | skumara: b'coz of it's not normal | 12:22 |
| Kwpolska | l;I wouldn't install something like this. | 12:22 |
| Kwpolska | kriss3d: some system problems | 12:22 |
| LetsGo67 | Kwpolska: Now it's installed on the router, but I want to get it off the PC. | 12:22 |
| kriss3d | Kwpolska, uhmm yeah i sorta figured that out.. thanks.. THAT really helped alot :D | 12:23 |
| g0tcha | hmm is it normal for ubuntu to b slow if booted from USB? | 12:23 |
| Legendary_Bibo | yeah kind of | 12:23 |
| Kwpolska | LetsGo67: find some uninstaller or remove its package | 12:24 |
| g0tcha | hmm so what version is best if planning to install it on a USB stick? | 12:24 |
| g0tcha | the best verstion" | 12:24 |
| riyaz_ | will 3d effects work on 512 mb ram?? pls any ine tell.. | 12:24 |
| Viking667 | riyaz_: of COURSE they'll work. but it depends upon the card, the kernel and the drivers. | 12:24 |
| skumara | Kwpolska, cannot find wghy in synaptics. | 12:25 |
| Legendary_Bibo | g0tcha: If you're making a Live USB to install then 10.04 is fine, but if you're just making a Live USB to run anywhere you should try something like Puppy, or slackware | 12:25 |
| Legendary_Bibo | riyaz: Yeah, but it really depends on your card. | 12:25 |
| Kwpolska | skumara: wut? | 12:25 |
| Kwpolska | a typo is a typo and it's not a package | 12:25 |
| riyaz_ | viking667:it means graphics card needed?? | 12:25 |
| skumara | ok | 12:26 |
| Kwpolska | riyaz_: each computer needs it, lolowut | 12:26 |
| Legendary_Bibo | riyaz: yeah what's your graphics card? | 12:26 |
| Kwpolska | Legendary_Bibo: I propose dsl. | 12:26 |
| Viking667 | well, YES. You can't view stuff in graphics without a graphics card either on the motherboard or in a slot. | 12:26 |
| skumara | Kwpolska, i need that to see what is my umts signal strength in my huawei modem. | 12:26 |
| Viking667 | if you're reading stuff on a monitor, odds are, it's plugged into a video controller. | 12:26 |
| Legendary_Bibo | Kwpolska: Fine choice! :) | 12:26 |
| Kwpolska | skumara: it's unneeded. | 12:26 |
| riyaz_ | sorry i don't have graphics card.. | 12:26 |
| Kwpolska | Legendary_Bibo: thx. | 12:26 |
| Kwpolska | riyaz_: lolwut | 12:26 |
| riyaz_ | what is lolwut?? | 12:27 |
| Kwpolska | riyaz_: what is google? | 12:27 |
| skumara | my modem connection is very slow. i need to check wheather it is signal problem or not? | 12:27 |
| Kwpolska | skumara: no idea. | 12:27 |
| Legendary_Bibo | riyaz_: uhhhh...Then you won't even be able to run X, much less effects | 12:27 |
| LetsGo67 | Kwpolska: Doesn't do the trick. | 12:27 |
| Kwpolska | without gfx card you won't be able to use linux. | 12:28 |
| coz_ | riyaz_, are you runnin a server? | 12:28 |
| Kwpolska | LetsGo67: no idea. googled? | 12:28 |
| coz_ | riyaz_, or are you on gnome or kde desktop? | 12:28 |
| Kwpolska | riyaz_: if yes, NOBODY instsalls graphics on servers. | 12:28 |
| Legendary_Bibo | don't all computers have at least an integrated graphics chip so you could at least run the console mode | 12:29 |
| Viking667 | nope. | 12:29 |
| Viking667 | well, kinda | 12:29 |
| Viking667 | they _may_ have a terminal mode instead | 12:29 |
| Palm76 | Hey guys. I have a problem. I completely erased my MBR with the dd command (yeah, I know it's dumb). Debians diskutility still show the partition and the correct size (in bytes also). Is there a way to use that information to recreate the partition table? | 12:29 |
| Legendary_Bibo | well yeah doesn't that use some form of video or graphcis card? | 12:30 |
| coz_ | Palm76, if no one can help here you may want to try the ##Linux channel | 12:30 |
| Palm76 | Not, partition, but partitions | 12:30 |
| Legendary_Bibo | Palm76: That's out of my league, you could just reinstall | 12:30 |
| riyaz_ | coz:i am not running server | 12:31 |
| Kwpolska | riyaz_: so you need a graphics card | 12:31 |
| coz_ | riyaz_, ok open a terminal type lspci | grep -i vga | 12:31 |
| Palm76 | Legendary_Bibo, yeah, but that would mean loosing all my datat | 12:31 |
| Legendary_Bibo | riyaz_:If you don't have a graphics card then how are you talking here? | 12:31 |
| Viking667 | serial port | 12:31 |
| Viking667 | ? | 12:31 |
| Takatori | Hah, my Ubuntu server went up in smoke yesterday... Power pack blew. | 12:32 |
| Legendary_Bibo | Palm76: Well I guess you could back it up, or you can try to find the answers you're looking for on the linux channel | 12:32 |
| Viking667 | ugh. Messy. | 12:32 |
| Legendary_Bibo | Takatori: That blows | 12:32 |
| Takatori | Legendary_Bibo xD | 12:32 |
| Palm76 | Legendary_Bibo, I'm going to visit the Linux channel. What's the adrress? | 12:33 |
| riyaz_ | coz:"00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)" is displayed | 12:33 |
| KE1HA | :-) Literally | 12:33 |
| LetsGo67 | Kwpolska: Yes. Lots. | 12:33 |
| pre7o | hey, ich mounte mit smb Ordner meines Servers z.b. in /home/Music. Nun werden aber unter "Places" die Ordner nochmal angezeigt. Wie z.B. wechseldatenträger. Was ich aber nicht verstehe, da der mount Punkt nicht /media ist. | 12:33 |
| Legendary_Bibo | Palm76: #Linux | 12:33 |
| Kwpolska | !de | pre7o | 12:33 |
| ubottu | pre7o: 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. | 12:33 |
| Palm76 | #Linux | 12:33 |
| Viking667 | pre7o: Sprache Englisch? | 12:33 |
| Palm76 | ok | 12:34 |
| riyaz_ | coz:can u get me | 12:34 |
| glickity | anyone have any luck playing avchd files in ubuntu? | 12:34 |
| coz_ | riyaz_, ok I see you have an intel card on that... the driver for that card should have initiated when you installed ubuntu | 12:35 |
| Legendary_Bibo | riyaz_: you do have a graphics card then, I don't know if it's powerful enough to run effects | 12:35 |
| glickity | when i try to play them they are super choppy, horrible sound, dropped frames, etc | 12:35 |
| coz_ | riyaz_, are you having video issues ? | 12:35 |
| Legendary_Bibo | glickity: What graphics card? | 12:35 |
| pre7o | ubottu, Viking667 ... sorry wrong window | 12:35 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:35 |
| coz_ | riyaz_, tell me what the problem is | 12:35 |
| riyaz_ | coz_:no vedio is running good.. | 12:35 |
| glickity | Legendary_Bibo, like a 7800gt nvidia | 12:36 |
| coz_ | riyaz_, ok then tell me what the issue is :) | 12:36 |
| Legendary_Bibo | glickity: Well we can rule out the graphics card. I run HD videos on an old GeForce480MX and the videos are smooth | 12:37 |
| riyaz_ | coz_:problem is that i like to get some 3d desktop effects i have installed compiz too!! | 12:37 |
| glickity | hmm | 12:37 |
| Legendary_Bibo | riyaz_:System>Administration>Hardware Drivers | 12:37 |
| coz_ | riyaz_, ok what exactly and how did you install compiz?? it is already installed | 12:37 |
| abhijit | whats the difference betwen playonlinux and wine? | 12:37 |
| erUSUL | abhijit: playonlinux is a gui/script on top wine | 12:38 |
| coz_ | abhijit, not sure exactly but i hear wine is more reliable but that is just hearsay | 12:38 |
| kriss3d | abhijit, nothing afaik. the playonlinux is merely a front for it | 12:38 |
| Legendary_Bibo | abhijit: Playonlinux is a frontend to Wine which makes it easier to setup and tweak games to play in wine | 12:38 |
| bilalakhtar | abhijit: playonlinux is just a frontend of wine | 12:38 |
| abhijit | :-o | 12:38 |
| bilalakhtar | !playonlinux | abhijit | 12:38 |
| bilalakhtar | sorry | 12:38 |
| riyaz_ | coz_:some of its files r installed as default some of i installed through synaptic package manager.. | 12:38 |
| KE1HA | riyaz_, effects will work (just not very well). The UB requirements for a Desktop now days are stated at 1GB I believe. With 512MB, it's gonna be choppy at best. | 12:38 |
| LetsGo67 | Kwpolska: Also I tried to stop dansguardian/tinyproxy/firehol but problem is still there. | 12:39 |
| coz_ | riyaz_, ok and did you also install compizconfg-settings-manager? | 12:39 |
| abhijit | coz_, erUSUL kriss3d Legendary_Bibo bilalakhtar so i now install only wine or both? which is better? | 12:39 |
| bilalakhtar | abhijit: when you install playonlinux wine is automatically installed | 12:39 |
| atude | how do I uninstall an application and remove all the settings with it? | 12:39 |
| kriss3d | abhijit, wine will be just fine | 12:39 |
| kriss3d | and yes.. playonlinux will install wine too | 12:39 |
| riyaz_ | coz_:yes i installed it .. | 12:39 |
| abhijit | bilalakhtar, kriss3d okk. now installing. thank all | 12:39 |
| coz_ | abhijit, in all honesty I dont use either of them so I am not a good source of information for this one :) | 12:39 |
| Legendary_Bibo | riyaz_: I ran 3d just fine in Xubuntu with only 256mb of RAM and an 64mb graphics card | 12:39 |
| abhijit | coz_, :) | 12:40 |
| coz_ | riyaz_, ok and did you go to system/preferencea/ appearance..visual effects tab | 12:40 |
| bilalakhtar | atude: use synaptic package manager and select the package you wanna remove and select 'Complete remove' | 12:40 |
| coz_ | riyaz_, tell me which is ticked there? | 12:40 |
| rezolute | KE1HA: you're insane. effects wont work well with 512 meg of ram? lol. | 12:40 |
| atude | bilalakhtar: I originally used apt-get to install. does that matter? | 12:40 |
| rezolute | do you people even realize what bs you're saying? | 12:40 |
| Legendary_Bibo | abhijit: I think play on will install Wine anyways, it doesn't hurt to have both | 12:40 |
| bilalakhtar | atude: just type sudo apt-get purge <PACKAGE NAME> | 12:40 |
| KE1HA | Legendary_Bibo, probably not running allot, and if so, Im wouldnt' thikg the system to be very responsive. | 12:41 |
| riyaz_ | coz_:Extra is ticked. | 12:41 |
| verbatimss | Legendary_Bibo, don't you get the impression with XFCE kind of like the screen hurt your eyes and, at the same time, that the fonts rendering is bad quality?¿ | 12:41 |
| bilalakhtar | atude: That works the same way as Synaptic | 12:41 |
| coz_ | riyaz_, ok then open compizconfig settings manager | 12:41 |
| MaRk-I | atude: with apt just add --purge | 12:41 |
| bilalakhtar | atude: Like I told you, sudo apt-get purge <PACKAGE NAME> | 12:41 |
| Legendary_Bibo | verbatimss: lol the monitor is so old and crappy it does that on its own. I didn't have any issues with it. | 12:41 |
| riyaz_ | coz_:i have opened it.. | 12:42 |
| coz_ | riyaz_, you may want to meet me in #compiz for this discussion though | 12:42 |
| atude | bilalakhtar: you didn't have to say it twice. Thanks :) | 12:42 |
| verbatimss | bilalakhtar, how would you check which dependencies a given program has with apt-get? and with dpkg? | 12:42 |
| kriss3d | anyone here playing wow in ubuntu ? | 12:42 |
| bilalakhtar | verbatimss: apt-cache show <PACKAGE NAME> | 12:42 |
| Legendary_Bibo | rezolute: what are you talking about? | 12:42 |
| coz_ | riyaz_, do you know how to switch channels on your irc client? | 12:42 |
| atude | kriss3d: what is wow? | 12:43 |
| verbatimss | Legendary_Bibo, with XFCE something doesn't work like GNOME in the "hurting my eyes" sense, even though I configure the fonts, screen resolution and refresh rate exactly the same I do in gnome (in gnome it doesn't hurt) | 12:43 |
| coz_ | World of Warcraft I blieve = WOW | 12:43 |
| Legendary_Bibo | riyaz_:XChat>New>Open Channel tab | 12:43 |
| riyaz_ | coz_:sorry i am new user i do no | 12:44 |
| bilalakhtar | !WoW | kriss3d | 12:44 |
| ubottu | kriss3d: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php | 12:44 |
| intel | who | 12:44 |
| atude | bilalakhtar: are you sure that removes all settings as well? | 12:44 |
| coz_ | riyaz_, generally where you type here just type /join #compiz | 12:44 |
| bilalakhtar | atude: yes | 12:44 |
| verbatimss | bilalakhtar, I was willing to be able to show the dependencies before having downloaded such program (no cache installed). If I have downloaded the program there's a much more convenient and direct method using dpkg packagename.deb | 12:44 |
| atude | bilalakhtar: because I reinstall the application and the settings are the same. | 12:44 |
| riyaz_ | /join #compiz | 12:44 |
| bilalakhtar | verbatimss: just a minute, I give you exact command | 12:44 |
| kriss3d | coz_ yup. im just having an odd problem that when i have my firewall on (iptables) it often get 3-4 disconnects before getting into the game. But it eventually gets in so its not like dropped packages.. what could cause this ? | 12:44 |
| bilalakhtar | atude: check it, if not, then come back here | 12:44 |
| atude | bilalakhtar: I did | 12:45 |
| verbatimss | okay, thanks bilalakhtar | 12:45 |
| Legendary_Bibo | verbatimss: It's your theme, I turned mine into an Windows 7 clone and it looked great. Changing panel bars is annoying though, but it at least doesn't have problems like with the gnome panel | 12:45 |
| coz_ | kriss3d, wow I am batting 100 here today.... i dotn think I can help with this one :) | 12:45 |
| bilalakhtar | ate? | 12:45 |
| coz_ | riyaz_, ok its not important | 12:45 |
| glickity | anyone know how to get smooth playback of .mts files on ubuntu? | 12:45 |
| bilalakhtar | verbatimss: Have you run sudo apt-get update ? | 12:45 |
| coz_ | riyaz_, now you have the settings manager opened.... on the left are the categories | 12:45 |
| bilalakhtar | !codecs | glickity | 12:45 |

| kriss3d | coz_ 100ms in wow ?? thats pretty descent | 12:45 |
| coz_ | kriss3d, ok cool :) I believe you :) | 12:46 |
| riyaz_ | coz_:yes exactly.. | 12:46 |
| coz_ | riyaz_, ok click the Effects category on the left | 12:46 |
| verbatimss | Legendary_Bibo, it's not the theme believe me. When I say "hurt my eyes" I am not just being metaphorical, I am being quite literal. Fluxbox doesn't even have a theme and it doesn't hurt my eyes... in fact fluxbox looks even better than Gnome in the fonts department (when it comes to the terminal at least), although it has problems managing different firefox fonts | 12:46 |
| riyaz_ | coz_:i have made it | 12:46 |
| coz_ | riyaz_, make sure these plugins are ticked...Animations...animations add- on....cube refelction and deformation...fading windows...window decoration and wobbly windows | 12:47 |
| verbatimss | bilalakhtar, I have run sudo apt-get update, yes. Okay, maybe I should tell you what I can do first. Do you know a program called Keryx? I want to be able to do manually the underlying processes Keryx follows | 12:47 |
| coz_ | riyaz_, tell me when you have finished with that | 12:48 |
| Legendary_Bibo | verbatimss: I'm like that with Openbox, I have Lubuntu now instead of my Win7 clone Xubuntu, and I hate the fact that menus are all freaking white, and I can't change the colors, at least I have elementary icons | 12:48 |
| verbatimss | I guess that it is all about downloading the main package and afterwards running dpkg -f packagename.deb | 12:48 |
| bilalakhtar | verbatimss: You can use apt-cache show <PACKAGENAME> when you don't have the package installed | 12:48 |
| bilalakhtar | or having it downloaded, verbatimss | 12:48 |
| verbatimss | bilalakhtar, where does "apt-cache show" LOOK in order to get to know what <PACKAGENAME> depends on? | 12:49 |
| bilalakhtar | verbatimss: It looks in the local package info cache. If you have run apt-get update then it will work | 12:49 |
| bilalakhtar | for sure ^^ | 12:49 |
| littlepenguin | how can i bandwidth limit synaptic donwloads?? | 12:50 |
| riyaz_ | coz_:i ll tell pls wait | 12:51 |
| HinHin | by pulling ethernet plug | 12:51 |
| verbatimss | bilalakhtar, but is the information "apt-cache show" give relative to my system or, on the contrary, does it give info on all the dependencies that such program needs -regardless of the distro -? | 12:51 |
| HinHin | :P | 12:51 |
| littlepenguin | hinhin that would be the firewall activated :d | 12:51 |
| HinHin | littlepenguin, haha | 12:51 |
| Legendary_Bibo | littlepenquin: You can't | 12:51 |
| HinHin | just a sec | 12:51 |
| riyaz_ | coz_:i ticked it all | 12:52 |
| HinHin | yes you can... :\ not sure how easy is it to setup though | 12:52 |
| wessel | hello, how can I log in to another linux shell account and send some files there? | 12:52 |
| littlepenguin | when i download somethings with synaptic it grabs the whole bandwidth and my neighbour the owner of net gets nothing | 12:52 |
| coz_ | riyaz_, ok now click the Desktop category | 12:52 |
| wessel | On windows I used to use winSCP for this | 12:52 |
| oCean_ | wessel: linux has scp | 12:52 |
| littlepenguin | legendary : can t?? | 12:52 |
| riyaz_ | coz_:yes made i made it | 12:52 |
| KE1HA | littlepenguin, an app called Trickle does it. | 12:52 |
| oCean_ | wessel: scp file user@remotemachine:/path/to/location | 12:52 |
| Legendary_Bibo | wessel: By ssh tunneling, I had a professor show me an application called Putty that he used | 12:52 |
| coz_ | riyaz_, disable Desktop wall...then make sure Desktop cube...rotate cube..show desktop...and viewport switcher are enabled | 12:52 |
| wessel | ah, forgot linux has scp in console xD! | 12:53 |
| littlepenguin | ke1ha nice thanks | 12:53 |
| coz_ | riyaz_, do you want the cube?? | 12:53 |
| riyaz_ | coz_:i made it.. | 12:53 |
| KE1HA | littlepenguin, then add something like : trickle -s -d 25 gksu synaptic for your shortcut, see Trickle for more info. | 12:53 |
| Legendary_Bibo | I'm awesome, I just finished making a shell script that uses espeak to sing the fresh prince of bel-air intro | 12:53 |

| Legendary_Bibo | riyaz_: You'll get bored of it | 12:54 |
| coz_ | riyaz_, if you need more help with compiz let me know | 12:54 |
| wessel | oCean_, if I'm logged in with ssh on this remote machine how do I acces the machine I'm working on? | 12:55 |
| Legendary_Bibo | riyaz_: Try the expo effect | 12:55 |
| x86br | alright,..back | 12:55 |
| Legendary_Bibo | wessel: Remote terminal? | 12:55 |
| littlepenguin | ke1ha thats nice ..what i wanted :D | 12:55 |
| bilalakhtar | verbatimss: It is relative to your distro | 12:55 |
| verbatimss | bilalakhtar, I have just run "apt-cache show PROGRAM" versus "dpkg -f PROGRAM_long_name.deb" and they seem to display the same basic information: all the deps the packet needs, regardless of what you have or don't have in your system, i | 12:55 |
| wessel | yes I did ssh user@remotemachine | 12:55 |
| oCean_ | wessel: so you want the remote files to be on your local machine? | 12:55 |
| wessel | I had to find out where I want to copy the files to | 12:55 |
| wessel | no the other way around, I want files from the machine I work on to be copied to the public_html of the remote machine | 12:56 |
| Legendary_Bibo | wessel: You probably have to setup a network share file | 12:56 |
| glickity | anyone have any luck getting smooth .mts playback? | 12:56 |
| oCean_ | wessel: well, that is in my previous example | 12:56 |
| Bennit | Hi | 12:56 |
| verbatimss | bilalakhtar, I don't know to what extent is relative to the distro, since karmic comes with libc6 already installed and yet the command states the package's dependence on libc6 | 12:56 |
| x86br | god, someone help me. I want boot ubuntu using external usb hd for install on internal laptop hd. | 12:56 |
| Legendary_Bibo | glickity: I've never heard of that format | 12:56 |
| atude | I need to install cmake 2.8.1, but the default is 2.8.0.. what do I do? | 12:56 |
| KE1HA | littlepenguin, I've not used it fer a while but did in the past. works good. | 12:56 |
| wessel | oCean_, but what if the path/to/location is really long? | 12:56 |
| bilalakhtar | verbatimss: It is general | 12:56 |
| bilalakhtar | verbatimss: A computer cannot function without libc6 | 12:57 |
| x86br | KE1HA no advance bro :( | 12:57 |
| Bennit | Is there a general way (using gnome) to set the application opened when doing something like mailto:<email>, or general 'email' option in programs | 12:57 |
| glickity | Legendary_Bibo, its avchd | 12:57 |
| oCean_ | wessel: there are 2 ways: 1) scp local_file account@remotemachine:/path/to/file 2) scp account@remotemachine:/path/to/file . <-- the dot being your current workingdir | 12:57 |
| KE1HA | Oh sri, did see your post hold on. | 12:57 |
| x86br | KE1HA i try boot-menage but doesnt make any diference | 12:57 |

| suprengr | Hi folks. Is it ok (grub included) to have a multi-boot with both 32bit and 64bit Ubuntu? I want to move to 64 bit whilst (temp only) keeping current 10.04 32bit going till 64 proven ok. | 12:58 |
| x86br | on boot-manager shows mine 3 internal drivers (ntfs) and a external usb drive (mbr) | 12:58 |
| atude | I need to install cmake 2.8.1, but the default is 2.8.0.. what do I do? | 12:58 |
| KE1HA | x86br, I would do, based on out previos conversation: disable the Internal HD, then install to the USB Drive. If that works, then do a Dual-Boot install, having Grub be your boot-manager. | 12:58 |
| Legendary_Bibo | atude: install it | 12:58 |
| shiv | need a good incremental backup gui based program for ubuntu. Any suggestions? | 12:59 |
| kriss3d | suprengr, im pretty sure grub and your computer wont care at all. as long as you keep it on seperated partitions | 12:59 |
| x86br | KE1HA already do that,..same error | 12:59 |
| atude | Legendary_Bibo: Yeah, I got that part... how? | 12:59 |
| KE1HA | x86br, you need to verify that the external USB drive is capable of Booting, until you sort that out, ya can't go any further. | 12:59 |
| atude | Legendary_Bibo: there seems to be only one version in repo | 12:59 |
| littlepenguin | k1han whats that first i worked now its at maximum?? | 12:59 |
| x86br | oki doki | 12:59 |
| Legendary_Bibo | atude: google it, and it'll be a deb probably | 12:59 |
| suprengr | kriss3d: would most definitely be on different partitions... cheers. | 12:59 |
| atude | Legendary_Bibo: so it's not something that's going to be in the repo? | 13:00 |
| === Tina12 is now known as Kasjopaja | ||
| KE1HA | x86br, Something, and Im not sure what, probably BIOS related, is preventing that Drive from being able to be a Boot-Drive Device. | 13:00 |

| atude | Legendary_Bibo: it's not a lib, but okay. | 13:00 |
| Legendary_Bibo | atude: You could also find a PPA of it, but if it's for one program the PPA isn't worth it | 13:01 |
| KE1HA | littlepenguin, -d 25 is the Kbps throttle. | 13:01 |

| x86br | KE1HA yea maybe thats it. Im gona leave and buy a flash drive. Nothin more to do :S. Many thanks for the help | 13:02 |
| Legendary_Bibo | XunZi_: Brasero | 13:02 |
| abhijit | XunZi_, brasero? | 13:02 |
| KE1HA | littlepenguin, another way to throttle apt-get is through gksu gedit /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/76download | 13:02 |
| KE1HA | Dl-Limit "25" | 13:03 |
| Legendary_Bibo | I have a request, can people change their names to get rid of the underscores? | 13:03 |
| XunZi_ | Legendary_Bibo, it does not have anoption to rip | 13:03 |

| MaRk-I | XunZi_: audio cd extractor | 13:04 |
| XunZi_ | Marine__, what is the command? | 13:04 |
| KE1HA | littlepenguin, here's another approach: http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/05/howto-limit-uploaddownload-speeds-and.html | 13:05 |
| TiK | hmmm' | 13:05 |
| Legendary_Bibo | XunZi_: you could go into the software center and probably find like 10 of them, plus I think Rythmbox can rip them for you | 13:05 |
| oCean_ | XunZi_: hm, I see 'grip' is removed from the repositories. It was there in jaunty | 13:05 |
| KE1HA | littlepenguin, note, that trickle is agian used for this, so I'd circumvent the previous, and go with the origial source, trickle. | 13:06 |
| steve__ | hello, need help. how do I use the cd command in terminal to change dir to a folder named using greek font? | 13:06 |
| steve__ | example: cd /home/steve/λήψεις | 13:06 |
| XunZi_ | Legendary_Bibo, I need one where I can set the bitrate | 13:06 |
| Legendary_Bibo | steve__:you could copy and paste the location | 13:06 |
| MaRk-I | XunZi_: go to software center and look for cd extractor or sound juicer | 13:07 |
| steve__ | dir command shows me the location but the cd command shows not found error | 13:07 |
| oCean_ | XunZi_: actually 'grip' does a very decent job (with bitrate option, yes) | 13:07 |
| Legendary_Bibo | XunZI: Asunder | 13:07 |
| XunZi_ | sound-juicer can't rip to mp3 | 13:08 |
| iceroot | steve__: i guess you have to escape the name, easiest way is using cd TAB until the correct folder is there, then you know how to escape something like that in the future | 13:08 |
| marianne_ | hiya, i was just wondering where the console and X keymap files are on ubuntu 10.04? i want to do a slightly custom keymap | 13:08 |

| myke2 | Is there anyone succeed to compile the linux kernel | 13:09 |
| oCean_ | XunZi_: there is ppa for grip. It can do what you need | 13:09 |
| iceroot | !anyone | myke2 | 13:09 |
| ubottu | myke2: 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? | 13:10 |
| marianne_ | Legendary_Bibo, i want to be able to make a new keymap, for the console as well as X, so i need to find the files? | 13:10 |
| marianne_ | i think | 13:10 |
| kballash | you might like to try CADSTD-LITE .... its a windows program but runs well under wine I download casstd-lite and get the .exe file. I go to wine and then browse c drive and try to execute casstd-lite and it still isn't running how do I run stuff through wine | 13:10 |
| steve__ | all those possibilities? | 13:10 |
| Legendary_Bibo | myke2: uhhh...you do know that you don't have to compile a kernel for Ubuntu right? | 13:10 |
| juro | anyone else experiencing Chrome as a hog? | 13:10 |
| Legendary_Bibo | marianne_: like a keyboard layout? | 13:11 |
| myke2 | Ok,but I compile the linux kernel and it makes ndiswrapper failed | 13:11 |
| KE1HA | juro, FireFox, yes, but not so much on Chrome. | 13:11 |
| juro | KE1HA, Firefox is ok on my side (although not super great), Chrome just sux | 13:11 |

| abhijit | hello | 13:12 |
| marianne_ | Legendary_Bibo, yeah, i wanna swap @ and " but otherwise have a UK layout (well, UK dvorak)... should be a simple modification of layout files :) they're in /usr/share/keymaps for the console under debian, but not in ubuntu it seems | 13:12 |

| juro | KE1HA, ok, I'll have a look at that .. are there any Flash problems with Epiphany? | 13:17 |
| steve__ | they were made during greek installation of ubuntu | 13:17 |

| KE1HA | juro, in the package manager, search Epiphany and it pulls all the add-on's and extension, you can read about each of them there before installing. | 13:18 |
| matt_ | my netbook screen smashed so I'm using my TV to 'mirror' the screen - problem is as soon as I 'un-mirror' the screen I lose the top and bottom toolbars. Mirrored screen is 800x600, but I want 1028x | 13:18 |
| Legendary_Bibo | steve__: I hadn't realized the ancient greek alphabet was still in use outside of math | 13:19 |

| OpenSourceCode | Does anyone? | 13:24 |
| Legendary_Bibo | OpenSourceCode: System>Administration>Users and Groups | 13:24 |
| KE1HA | juro, let me check-real quick to be sure I'll install on a VM | 13:24 |
| jussi | !hostname | OpenSourceCode | 13:24 |
| ubottu | OpenSourceCode: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 13:24 |
| noren | cant run alsamixer, but i already got alsa-utils whats the prob here ??? | 13:24 |
| juro | KE1HA, nah, too much work - I'll just apt-get install it | 13:25 |
| juro | thank you | 13:25 |
| KE1HA | juro, just doo: sudo apt-get install epiphany-browser epiphany-extensions | 13:25 |
| KE1HA | That should get you rolling. | 13:26 |
| OpenSourceCode | Why is not suggested to be root? | 13:26 |
| ikonia | OpenSourceCode: because that is the ubuntu security model | 13:26 |
| BluesKaj | noren, install alsa-base too | 13:26 |
| abhijit | !root | OpenSourceCode | 13:26 |
| ubottu | OpenSourceCode: 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 | 13:26 |
| juro | KE1HA, yeah busy downloading the packages | 13:26 |
| KE1HA | OpenSourceCode, change your hosname file | 13:26 |
| abhijit | :( | 13:26 |
| noren | BluesKaj: i have the alsa-base latest version already installed | 13:27 |
| OpenSourceCode | where can I find hostname | 13:27 |
| KE1HA | juro, You'll like it, it's fast and light weight. Load real quick. | 13:27 |
| ikonia | /etc/hostname | 13:27 |
| Legendary_Bibo | OpenSourceCode:It's possible to root your Ubuntu, but it's hard and really just opens up your system | 13:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | OpenSourceCode, KE1HA changing ONLY hostname file will break sudo! be SURE to change both files!!! | 13:27 |
| abhijit | OpenSourceCode, in /etc/hostname | 13:27 |
| epinky | !rootpassword | OpenSourceCode | 13:28 |

| reggi | question: in microsoft windows it is not possible to transfer an installed application by copying the folder in the "\program files\" to another computer, instead, you must reinstall the application. Is this true for linux / ubuntu? | 13:41 |
| epinky | Guest3153: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot | 13:41 |
| abhijit | reggi, no | 13:42 |
| KE1HA | Flynsarmy, looks like 1.2 is the package version, but the compile package is 1.1.42 so when ya --version it pulls the compile --version number. | 13:42 |
| Guest3153 | epinky: thanks but I am afraid it will crash the machine | 13:42 |
| Guest3153 | I will loose warranty | 13:42 |
| reggi | abhijit, would you be able to point me to a wiki or website so I can learn more about moving apps to another computer? | 13:42 |
| reggi | thanks | 13:42 |
| Flynsarmy | KE1HA: does that mean we're on the latest one from the wine devs or the ubuntu repos got it wrong and we're on an old version as a result? | 13:43 |
| abhijit | Guest3153, you will not loose warranty. you have freedom to install your choice os in your pc. you owns that pc and not microsoft. | 13:43 |

| abhijit | reggi, i dont have exact that info. but i have another one which is useful for you just wait | 13:43 |
| KE1HA | Flynsarmy, yes, I belive so. | 13:43 |
| reggi | thanks KE1HA | 13:43 |
| reggi | ok i'll wait for your info abhijit | 13:43 |

| abhijit | reggi, now this is solution for full os copy http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087 now you need to apply the same logic to copy individual program. though i never tried it and i dont know further. | 13:46 |
| KE1HA | reggi, Just FYO, like andi5 said, it's best for fresh installs, unless your making clones for "exact" replication. | 13:46 |

| BluesKaj | ZykoticK9, thought so...thanks for checking | 14:10 |
| Kyuusai-San | done that | 14:10 |
| Kyuusai-San | i can put in japanese characters | 14:10 |
| Kyuusai-San | lol | 14:10 |
| ZykoticK9 | Kyuusai-San, if it's the missing key that your having issues with see http://paste.ubuntu.com/474946/ | 14:11 |

| Kyuusai-San | thanks ZykoticK9 | 14:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | Ramseize, vmware? how does that apply? if you have vmware you might want to just try both and see which you prefer. | 14:11 |
| Kyuusai-San | it could be that | 14:11 |
| weebles | if you don't want smartcard reading software on your computer you have to uninstall network-manager | 14:12 |
| Kyuusai-San | but im not entirely sure that its going to solve my problem | 14:12 |
| Kyuusai-San | lol | 14:12 |
| Ramseize | ZykoticK9 i guess, okies, thanx .. ill just try both and see which one works fine with me... | 14:12 |
| Kyuusai-San | cause i have lots of stuff with japanese characters and when i try to look at them in like documents for instance i get jibberish same with amarok | 14:13 |

| ZykoticK9 | Kyuusai-San, when i search google for 058A05E90C4ECFEC i see several references to japanese characters in the results - perhaps this repo has the fonts you are looking for? good luck man. | 14:14 |
| abhijit | !ibus | 14:14 |
| ubottu | IBus is used to allow input of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) characters in !GUI applications - See also: !SCIM | 14:14 |
| llutz | weebles: its not network-manager, "apt-cache rdepends libpcsclite1" | 14:15 |
| Kyuusai-San | lol thanks ZykoticK9 that key you see there was something of what i was looking for i just couldnt get it to work | 14:15 |

| DarkSector | abhijit, thats an IRC thing, I think ubottu just holds ubuntu related stuff | 14:23 |
| saby | jgeli, i had done that but i removed those and installed then manually from their site | 14:24 |
| jgeli | thats your problem | 14:24 |
| abhijit | oCean_, DarkSector hmm | 14:24 |
| Kyuusai-San | ZykoticK9 i tried the code on your pastebin and got an error | 14:24 |
| saby | jgeli, i did the manual thing cos i was having the same problem | 14:24 |
| vivek243 | abhijit u also have doubts and difficults?? | 14:24 |
| jgeli | i would recommends using the hardware drivers | 14:25 |
| oCean_ | abhijit: you seem to be factoid fan, I prefer personal response | 14:25 |
| saby | jgeli, i was using those but they were giving the same problem | 14:25 |
| abhijit | vivek243, yes. what do you think? I am not any expert. We are student in whole our life. we keep learning a lot from all. from each thing in nature. | 14:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | Kyuusai-San, sorry i had 2 almost identical pastebins - did i send you http://paste.ubuntu.com/474946/ | 14:25 |
| jgeli | saby, oh i see. whats the exact model of your wifi card? | 14:25 |
| sidharth | any good ide for python? | 14:25 |
| saby | so i installed them manually from the site and it was working fine until aptitude update and after that again the same problem | 14:25 |
| abhijit | oCean_, yah. i need to type so many lines explaining that 'he is not me' :( | 14:25 |
| saby | jgeli, could you tell me how to find out | 14:25 |
| Kyuusai-San | ZykoticK9 yeah you did | 14:25 |
| Kyuusai-San | lo | 14:26 |
| Kyuusai-San | ll | 14:26 |
| saby | sysinfo app is showing me broadcom 4353 | 14:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | Kyuusai-San, what error did you get? | 14:26 |
| kuttan_ | hi all | 14:26 |
| jgeli | uninstall the driver first thru synaptic | 14:26 |
| AlphaWaves | im banned | 14:26 |
| oCean_ | AlphaWaves: discuss in #ubuntu-ops | 14:26 |
| sidharth | any python ide? | 14:26 |
| jgeli | then go to system > hardware drivers | 14:26 |
| AlphaWaves | oCean_: i did it | 14:26 |
| oCean_ | AlphaWaves: So? You're ban dodging now? | 14:26 |
| abhijit | sidharth, which ubuntu version you are using? | 14:26 |
| AlphaWaves | oCean_: they check the counseil already | 14:26 |
| sidharth | 10.04 | 14:26 |
| saby | jgeli, only the bcmwl-modaliases is installed | 14:27 |
| oCean_ | AlphaWaves: you know ban dodging makes it worse? | 14:27 |
| AlphaWaves | oCean_: ubuntu-fr | 14:27 |
| abhijit | sidharth, in application>software center under there there is search utility you can searc for available softwares. try typing python | 14:27 |
| Kyuusai-San | ZykoticK9 i wont paste it here cause itll be a spam | 14:27 |
| saby | jgeli, remove that and install b43-fwcutter ? | 14:27 |
| trizicus | I have weird problem that is hard to explain. When I leave my computer idle and come back to do something it freezes temporarily makes a click then becomes responsive again. It does this regularly. This doesn't happen in windows, and only in Linux. Anyone have any suggestions? | 14:27 |
| jgeli | saby, try unsinstalling the broadcom STA wireless driver and leave the b43 wireless driver | 14:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | Kyuusai-San, sorry you need to use "sudo apt-key add -" on the 2nd line | 14:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | !pastebin > Kyuusai-San | 14:28 |
| ubottu | Kyuusai-San, please see my private message | 14:28 |
| jgeli | the STA driver can give you problem especially on connections with WPA2 | 14:28 |
| oCean_ | AlphaWaves: do you have an actual question for this channel? | 14:28 |
| sidharth | well I dont want to try on installing different ides. Could u suggest a good one you may have experienced using? | 14:28 |
| AlphaWaves | oCean_: they dont want to change their position | 14:28 |
| oCean_ | AlphaWaves: this is not the place to discuss | 14:28 |
| AlphaWaves | oCean_: for instance i have no question | 14:28 |
| abhijit | sidharth, if no one answers here then try in #python | 14:29 |
| kuttan_ | AlphaWaves: what did you do | 14:29 |
| sacarlson | trizicus: I'm guessing this might be the screen saver kicking in and out. you can disable it or change the time. | 14:29 |
| oCean_ | kuttan_: AlphaWaves drop it, this is not the place | 14:29 |
| AlphaWaves | kuttan_: i talk about Jesus | 14:30 |
| sidharth | Well how to log into #python from xchat? | 14:30 |
| trizicus | sacarlson: Nope, it does this every 5 seconds that I don't do something; it's not a screensaver, standby, etc. | 14:30 |
| abhijit | sidharth, type /j #python | 14:30 |
| sidharth | thanx | 14:30 |
| sacarlson | trizicus: your right it's not screen saver | 14:31 |
| kuttan_ | AlphaWaves: This is certainly not a place for that | 14:31 |
| trizicus | sacarlson: My system pauses for a second, makes POST sound, then click and it's responsive again. I want to say it's kernel power settings but I have no clue how to adjust anything like that. | 14:31 |
| magicianlord | it's your cpu trizicus | 14:32 |
| trizicus | magicianlord: I have it running at full; what do you suggest? | 14:32 |
| magicianlord | trizicus: when i switched out my cpu from a lower power cpu to a quad core, the pause to the beep increased and i see no post screen now | 14:33 |
| MrWGW | I'm having some trouble getting amanda-client to work | 14:33 |
| vivek243 | abhijit i thought so... | 14:33 |
| MrWGW | do any of you have it running on your systems? | 14:33 |
| jjmartin | it boots to flashing under score | 14:33 |
| trizicus | magicianlord: I'm using a quad atm and power mode isn't ondemand. So idk what to do to fix this. | 14:34 |
| MrWGW | when I do an amcheck daily on the server (which is a box running a different OS) I get a WARNING: fragola.sfarm1.com: selfcheck request failed: amanda/udp unknown protocol | 14:34 |
| MrWGW | err blah | 14:34 |
| MrWGW | I meant to excise the domain name | 14:34 |
| MrWGW | ah well | 14:34 |
| FloodBot2 | MrWGW: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:34 |
| magicianlord | trizicus: this is just something i noticed on my system. dont know why exactly it happens, because i didnt research it. i have cool and quiet on | 14:34 |

| Yura87 | 0hai | 14:37 |
| Yura87 | Is there a way to set PPPoE LAN without bobbing with mac address? | 14:38 |
| sacarlson | trizicus: I guess you can try the command top to see what is running that could be using the resources to cause something like this but magicanlord may be correct. also maybe look in the /var/log dir to see if cron is running something every 5 secounds | 14:40 |
| trizicus | sacarlson: I have cron disabled atm :) | 14:40 |
| sacarlson | trizicus: was it always disabled? | 14:40 |
| trizicus | trizicus: yes | 14:41 |
| sacarlson | trizicus: what about top | 14:41 |
| Yura87 | In Puppy, you do not bob with mac address, you just click Network Setup > Eth0 > Static IP, type 192.168.1.4 as your IP, and 192.168.1.1 as both gateway and DNS1 | 14:42 |
| trizicus | sacarlson: Just xorg and compiz | 14:42 |
| droundloopy | I been trying to find a updated site on how to surf anonymously any urls? | 14:42 |

| jjmartin | I installed ubuntu 10.04, ran some updates and now it boots to a blinking underscore. I cannot ctrl alt F1 -F8 to change terminals. how do i fix this | 14:42 |
| droundloopy | I am a newbie looking for a howto | 14:42 |
| sacarlson | trizicus: I think I might try disable compiz it's power hungry | 14:42 |

| magicianlord | i read about a fix to this. you're gonna have to hold shift and edit the grub boot line before the system boots to blacklist b43 and ssb (i dont remember the exact syntax atm) and then once in the desktop, blacklist both modules in /etc/modules/blacklist.conf | 14:44 |

| Yura87 | so, how come Puppy sets up PPPoE LAN (Eth#) without bobbing with mac address? | 14:47 |
| baBY_MiLO | tq guys... | 14:47 |

| jjmartin | magicianlord, is there a file that lists all the drivers that are loaded or a way to check to see what drivers and modules are used? | 14:47 |
| baBY_MiLO | actually where u are come from... | 14:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | saby, with sudo that should work | 14:47 |

| abhijit | glick, yes. I like it. | 14:47 |
| baBY_MiLO | sorry | 14:47 |
| baBY_MiLO | :( | 14:47 |
| sacarlson | jjmartin: the command is modprobe -l | 14:48 |
| glick | abhijit, whats the best format to convert .mts files to preserve quality, what do all those numbers mean and whats the diff between 1 pass and 2 pass? | 14:48 |
| kuttan_ | 14:48 | |
| zakwilson | Sometimes when I suspend (not hibernate) my laptop, it spends forever and a day with the hard drive grinding during resume before it becomes usable. Most of the time, resume only takes a few seconds. Is there a known issue? Something I might be able to tweak? | 14:48 |
| jjmartin | sacarlson, but does that just list what is running like lsmod? | 14:48 |
| abhijit | glick, ha ha :D i never tried .mts. | 14:48 |
| abhijit | glick, ask in #kdenlive | 14:49 |
| kuttan_ | 14:49 | |
| abhijit | 14:49 | |
| Yura87 | never ssp/hyb, always shutdown | 14:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | glick, re: 2 pass - it basically pretends to encode the first pass, then really encodes on the 2nd. you get better quality, more accurate size, with 2pass encoding (generally) | 14:49 |
| glick | i see | 14:50 |
| glick | thanks ZykoticK9 | 14:50 |
| vincenzo | yy | 14:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | glick, it takes longer obviously | 14:50 |
| Yura87 | ssp/hyb are unsafe on modern archs and are zombie functions | 14:50 |
| magicianlord | jjmartin: did you find your solutino | 14:50 |
| daniel_b_ | hi! just switched from kde to gnome and installed ubuntu on my new x201 lenovo. Multitouchpad and umts dont seem to work (alongside having to set i925.modeset to 0) , How can i switch on Multitouch? | 14:51 |
| jjmartin | not yet. I'm looking up info on the chipset | 14:51 |
| sacarlson | jjmartin: I guess it just shows what modules are installed | 14:51 |
| saby | hi, when i start windows, my bootloader is getting corrupted and i then have to reinstall grub from the live cd | 14:51 |
| Nikyo | Greetings, I am making a headless Ubuntu box, using vino VNC so I can remote to this ubuntu headless workstation. Issue is that I cannot get vino, (or any VNC server that I install), past 1024x768 screen resolution when viewing the headless ubuntu box remotely. | 14:51 |
| SauLus | hmm, i cant boot my ubuntu box. some shell is showing up. now ibooted the ubuntucd, ran fsck and did not find any error. any ideas? | 14:52 |
| jjmartin | does the d in conf.d stand for deamon? | 14:52 |
| SauLus | jjmartin: directory | 14:52 |
| ZykoticK9 | jjmartin, i believe so | 14:52 |
| llutz | jjmartin: directory | 14:52 |
| sacarlson | saby: windows must hate us. maybe run your windows in virtualbox so that won't hapen and you can run windows at the same time as linux | 14:52 |
| * ZykoticK9 fail ;) | 14:52 | |
| Yura87 | SauLus, is your install full or frg? | 14:52 |
| SauLus | frg? my installation is some weeks old and the sys was running fine. | 14:53 |
| Yura87 | with frugal, just get rid of all your session-files | 14:53 |
| BluesKaj | saby,fyi , always install windows first , then linux | 14:53 |
| Yura87 | and ensure that linux is in frugal setup on one of the secondary drives (not C:) | 14:54 |
| SauLus | Yura87: what is frugal? was it the answer to me? i did not insztall ubuntu in ntfs, if that is frugal | 14:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | SauLus, if you're not familiar with "frugal" don't feel alone - i've never heard of it... | 14:55 |
| BluesKaj | me neither | 14:55 |
| Yura87 | frugal install is when you have it in .sfs's that are mounted into a "no-emulation" img | 14:56 |
| Israfel | Well, I did it again. 3 times in a row I corrupt my Ubuntu installation by removing evolution. | 14:56 |
| SauLus | fine, but do you have any ideas what i could try to find the problem why my ubuntu 10.04lts64 is not starting any longer? | 14:56 |
| BluesKaj | Israfel, why remove it , just don't use it | 14:57 |
| licensed | anybody knows how can i do to change my password when using encrypted /home | 14:57 |
| Israfel | Because I'm running on a 4GB USB stic | 14:57 |
| Israfel | BluesKaj: And I was running out of space. | 14:57 |
| Yura87 | SauLus, if your install is frugal, try to delete .2fs or .3fs or w/e session files | 14:57 |
| mahioo | hello guy | 14:57 |
| Yura87 | as you are on ntfs, your install obviously contains of .sfs's | 14:58 |
| mahioo | it's possible to get the source code of software from binary file | 14:58 |
| SauLus | Yura87: i just booted the standard ubuntu64bit cd. i assume i am not using frugar | 14:58 |
| BluesKaj | Israfel, you could try a smaller footprint ubuntu | 14:58 |
| Yura87 | SauLus, LiveCD IS frugal | 14:59 |
| Israfel | BluesKaj: I'll be fine if I can take out the stuff manually. | 14:59 |
| mahioo | is it possible !! | 14:59 |
| SauLus | Yura87: m installation is not booting. so why should i delete temporary files during the live-session? | 14:59 |
| Israfel | BluesKaj: I'm working on removing the games, OO, Evolution, etc. And trying Minimal wasn't working well. | 14:59 |
| BluesKaj | Israfel, does it try to take out the gnome desktop? | 15:00 |
| SauLus | my | 15:00 |
| Yura87 | mahloo, it's not possible in most cases to grab src off bin | 15:00 |
| Israfel | BluesKaj: I was told that it shouldn't if I use apt-get remove openoffice* | 15:00 |
| sacarlson | mahioo: you can disasemble bin code but it's not the source. | 15:00 |
| Yura87 | Delete sessionfiles of your usual install | 15:00 |
| saby | BluesKaj, i have done that | 15:00 |
| BluesKaj | Israfel, ok , understood | 15:00 |
| mahioo | sacarlson: how !!! | 15:00 |
| sphiryx | hi, Im currently trying to install the ubuntu server x86 iso via usb. the installation stick has been built using unetbootin. however, when booting from the stick the installation tool is searching for a cdrom which is not present. | 15:01 |
| Yura87 | they are usually .2fs or something - refer to ubuntu wiki or UnionFS wiki | 15:01 |
| sacarlson | mahioo: for one thing disasembled will be the procesor machine code | 15:01 |
| Israfel | BluesKaj: I wasn't having any luck with minimal. Plus I want a few nice features that Ubuntu has. | 15:01 |
| Israfel | Does anyone have a good way to remove Evolution without kililng GNOME? | 15:01 |
| BluesKaj | Israfel, why are you running on a stick ...HDD full ? | 15:02 |
| Baphomet | Hi all... Is there any way to get Evolution to display different IMAP accounts in one single inbox? Failing that, is there a way to get it to automatically download all messages to the inbox without messing up other message filters? | 15:02 |
| Israfel | BluesKaj: because I like to have an OS in my pocket. And a CD is too big for that. | 15:02 |
| mahioo | sacarlson: ok thank you | 15:03 |
| === jay is now known as Guest14826 | ||
| sphiryx | I tried mounting /dev/sdb1 to /cdrom but then i recieve a debootstrap error | 15:03 |
| Yura87 | SauLus, did you delete your 2fs? | 15:03 |
| sacarlson | mahioo: if your really interest look at the program biew | 15:03 |
| Israfel | BluesKaj: And I'm not going to start deleting partitions and pushing for space on the HDD. | 15:03 |
| Yura87 | Haha, you ubuntu people use frugal install without knowing what it is! | 15:04 |
| BluesKaj | ok, neat idea Israfel , I should show ubuntu to some of my friends that way | 15:04 |
| SimonSayez | Yura87, because its easier | 15:04 |
| Yura87 | and, why does Puppy's eth# setup go easier than that in Ubuntu? | 15:05 |
| chrismeo | hi, I want do delete my usb storage. So created a file on the device and filled it with urandom. I did this 2 times. Is this a good thing to do? | 15:05 |
| Israfel | BluesKaj: And it's persistent if you install it. Most people just use the Live version for USB/CD but that doesn't save settings. | 15:05 |
| sphiryx | anyone who could help me out? I dunno why this stupid setup tool is searching for a cd rom nor how to make it look at the same device it has been started from | 15:05 |
| chrismeo | i used dd | 15:06 |
| mahioo | sacarlson: ok thanks | 15:06 |
| SauLus | Yura87: i think you misread my problem. so i reinstalled grub and retried booting . . . still waiting for the system, but it stays black after grub | 15:06 |
| Israfel | Anyone know of a good ghosting software that can run from a USB? I'm on a netbook and don't want to have to rip the HDD out to back it up. | 15:06 |
| jgeli | is deborphan effective or does it remove valid files? | 15:07 |
| robertpayne | lol tasksel install lampserver isn't adding root mysql user | 15:07 |

| SimonSayez | Yura87, yup we know | 15:07 |
| BluesKaj | oops | 15:07 |
| oCean_ | robertpayne: yes it is, it even asks you to set a pw | 15:07 |
| EdwardIII | i'm on ubuntu, how come gnome can audo detect screen res/horiz/vert settings correctly, but the login screen seems to be massively off centre? it's a bit of a bugger 'cos other window managers have the same problem | 15:07 |
| Israfel | BluesKaj: Not the right kind of ghost. | 15:08 |
| tuliohm | Hi people, i want to know if the openoffice.org package is the openoffice or go-oo... | 15:08 |
| BluesKaj | hehe | 15:08 |
| robertpayne | oCean_: eh I've tried to "reset" it using mysqld --skip-grant-tables and it shows 0 rows affected | 15:08 |
| mahioo | sacarlson: can you give me the home page of project | 15:08 |
| Yura87 | SimonSayez, so what is the reason for Puppy's eth# setup being easier than in Ubuntu? | 15:08 |

| SimonSayez | Yura87, I have no idea | 15:08 |
| sphiryx | :-( | 15:09 |
| llutz | Yura87: write a feature request to the ubuntu-devs if you like puppys way (however they realize it) | 15:09 |

| sphiryx | hi, Im currently trying to install the ubuntu server x86 iso via usb. the installation stick has been built using unetbootin. however, when booting from the stick the installation tool is searching for a cdrom which is not present. | 15:10 |

| ksou_ | can anyone point me to a good music creation app | 15:10 |
| robertpayne | oCean_: yes I know.. I'm able to get into mysql w/o authentication but using UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = PASSWORD('newpassword') WHERE User = 'root' results in 0 rows updated | 15:10 |

| ScottG | Why are you piping through chmod? | 15:12 |
| llutz | EthanZ6174: what do you want to chmod? | 15:12 |
| joeka | ScottG: ffmpeg can do that. with GUI cheese or WebcamStudio(has affects etc.) | 15:12 |
| EthanZ6174 | ScottG, I wanna chmod the file only, no directory | 15:12 |
| joeka | effects | 15:12 |

| robertpayne | oCean_: haha I confirmed it.. I just did SELECT * FROM mysql.user and it has no root entry | 15:13 |
| sphiryx | or will I have to use some kind of different image which doesnt depend on cd rom? | 15:13 |

| SauLus | EthanZ6174: that does '-type f' does | 15:16 |
| llutz | SauLus: you don't want general 755 on files | 15:16 |
| EdwardIII | SauLus, how can i figure out what resolution i should select? | 15:16 |
| EthanZ6174 | SauLus, Ohhhh I see. a better way I think~ | 15:16 |
| SauLus | llutz: right. but i dont know what EthanZ6174 did want to achieve | 15:16 |
| oCean_ | robertpayne: I still would think the *user* would be there.. | 15:17 |
| robertpayne | oCean_: it shows debian-sys-maint as the user with the password I put into tasksel | 15:17 |
| llutz | EthanZ6174: find is much better than your way | 15:17 |

| sphiryx | anubis same problem as i have | 15:28 |
| JanCBorchardt | anubis: it’s likely that there was just an error in copying, so you best try again. and md5-check the image before it | 15:28 |
| sphiryx | anubis is zour setup also searching for a cdrom? | 15:28 |
| Israfel | Anubis, have you tried using 'unebootin'? it takes a linus .iso file and makes a bootable USB. | 15:28 |
| anubis | yeah, it keeps refering to cd-rom :P | 15:28 |
| sphiryx | Israfel unetbootin doesnt solve this... | 15:28 |
| Israfel | Anubis, Unetbootin | 15:28 |
| sphiryx | Israfel I have used unetbootin at setup is still searching for a cd rom when trzing to install the base system | 15:29 |
| anubis | it's as if it keeps looking for a cd to copy files from, when all is on the usb stick | 15:29 |
| hiwi | frikinz: does invoking the start script manually from init.d/lighthttpd... work? | 15:29 |

| JanCBorchardt | anubis, sphiryx: (I guess you have, but) do you have it formatted as fat32 and md5-checked the image after download? | 15:30 |

| sphiryx | JanCBorchardt stick is fat32 yes. also checked the image and downloaded it from different mirrors. tried ubunto mirror and rwth aachen halifax. | 15:31 |
| anubis | Israfel: it boots, gets me into the install etc, but halts and asks for cd-rom/fiels | 15:31 |
| anubis | files* | 15:31 |
| Israfel | anubis, Did you check to make sure the MD5 sum for the ISO is correct? I had that issue the first time I downloaded the iso.. The part where it asks for the CD-Rom is misleading because the USB only thinks it's a CD-Rom | 15:31 |
| Green13 | I have some trouble getting ejabberd started on 10.04 server | 15:31 |
| JanCBorchardt | anubis, sphiryx: are you installing from live version or directly? (10.04?) | 15:32 |
| Green13 | can anyone help me with ejabberd? | 15:32 |
| anubis | JanCBorchardt: define live/directly? :) | 15:32 |
| sphiryx | Im installing directly from usb using the ubuntu x86 server image. also tried the alternate install image. same resul | 15:32 |
| anubis | ah, yeah.. directly from usb then :p | 15:32 |
| frikinz | hiwi: yes it does | 15:32 |
| frikinz | hiwi: I have now added a echo "test" > /root/x to see if at least it is called on boot | 15:33 |
| anubis | Israfel: thanks.. first one i tried was 64bit, trying fresh download of 32bit now | 15:33 |
| JanCBorchardt | anubis: live = live desktop version where you can test drive ubuntu, directly is a direct install ;) | 15:33 |
| JanCBorchardt | anubis: but the question is irrelevant for server installations of course | 15:33 |
| Israfel | anubis, don't forget to check that MD5. | 15:34 |
| anubis | i c :) thanks^^ | 15:34 |
| sphiryx | JanCBorchardt also tried another workaround by copying the iso onto the stick and mount it to /cdrom but this gives me a debootstrap error | 15:34 |
| JanCBorchardt | sphiryx: I never tried that ;) | 15:34 |
| anubis | might have been a .iso error, cause i'm trying the 32-bit version now, and it works fine so far.. got past "loading additional components" | 15:34 |
| frikinz | ahah. it _sometimes_ starts | 15:35 |
| JanCBorchardt | so, I have a problem while compiling a package, it says I haven’t got gstreamer-0.10 installed – synaptic was of no help. the output is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/474972/ – any ideas? | 15:35 |
| anubis | good thing ubuntu-users are so helpful :) tried installing another distro a few years back, and all i got then was the fashion-term rtfm :P | 15:36 |
| JanCBorchardt | anubis: rtfm really needs to die ;) | 15:36 |
| anubis | haha, true ;) | 15:36 |

What should I do? | 15:54 |

So today I finally got sick of the problems and rebooted to the oldest kernel with 10.04 and removed the newer one. Then I went to update manager and tried to install the latest kernel. It froze for about 40 minutes. I rebooted and booted up to the older kernel again. Im in software center now trying to inst | 16:15 |

| erUSUL | Kaspi: i doubt it but hey i'm not going to press this further. is up to you | 16:48 |
| Roasted | SauLus - is this often a fix for problems like this? Or were you just banking on the fact that if the archive cache was removed, it would stop the mysql stalling? | 16:49 |
| TomOwens | That's for FireFox. I want Thunderbird. But is out-of-date repositories going to be a recurring problem with Ubuntu? | 16:49 |
| TomOwens | I want to always be running the latest stable versions of all of my software. | 16:49 |
| TomOwens | And if that's not in the primary Ubuntu repositories, that's going to be a major problem. | 16:50 |
| erUSUL | TomOwens: then you should look at using a rolling distribution like arch | 16:50 |
| llutz | TomOwens: then you'll need a distribution with rolling releases and no fixed release cycles | 16:50 |
| TomOwens | I think I will, then. I went with Ubuntu since I know a lot of people who use it, but if I can't be running latest stables, then it's not for me. I guess I'll look at Arch. Are there any other distribitions I should be looking at that meet my needs? | 16:51 |
| llutz | TomOwens: debian sid | 16:51 |
| Roasted | SauLus - its done. should I do the dist upgrade command from earlier? | 16:51 |
| SauLus | Roasted: yes please | 16:51 |
| SauLus | Roasted: The important part was dpkg-reconfigure. Maybe it found some problems. | 16:51 |
| erUSUL | TomOwens: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_release | 16:52 |
| edbian | TomOwens, Arch is great for bleeding edge software. Be aware though "stable" and "new" are not the same. I use Debian for that reason exactly. | 16:52 |
| Roasted | SauLus - froze again at the same place. | 16:52 |
| Roasted | I like how me installing updates via update manager results in these problems. :( | 16:52 |
| TomOwens | edbian: That's my problem. I want stable, up-to-date software. When someone releases a new stable version, I want it available to me quickly through my repositories. | 16:53 |
| edbian | TomOwens, You and I have different definitions of stable my friend. I think what you're asking for though is arch. | 16:53 |
| llutz | TomOwens: or look at slackware | 16:53 |
| TomOwens | Stable is anything that's not a nightly/weekly build. | 16:53 |
| erUSUL | TomOwens: if it is for a handfull of major apps a good solution may be use ubuntu + ppa's | 16:53 |
| SauLus | Roasted: open another terminal and have an eye on the command 'tail -f /var/log/apt*/*' during the aptitude thing | 16:53 |
| sacarlson | Roasted: i'm sure you tried to reinstall before remove. I've had some success with that in similar cases | 16:54 |
| TomOwens | For example, Mozilla Thunderbird 3.1.2 is Stable. As would 3.1.3 be. But the nightly builds of Firefox and Thunderbird...not stable. | 16:54 |
| Roasted | sacarlson - reinstall before remove what? the kernel? | 16:54 |
| erUSUL | TomOwens: mozilla wine openoffice and a few others may be all you really need | 16:54 |
| Roasted | SauLus - that command comes up with text in a different language, it appears. | 16:54 |
| edbian | TomOwens, For me stable means "it does not crash and has 0 or very few bugs" | 16:54 |
| sacarlson | Roasted: oh no didn't know it was that bad | 16:54 |
| Roasted | sacarlson - I have no idea anymore :P | 16:54 |
| edbian | TomOwens, I understand what you're asking for though. Arch linux is your best bet. In fact it might even have un-stable software by your definition. | 16:55 |
| Roasted | I got some updates, it backfired, then it caused system wide issues ( couldnt install anything) so I hopped on an old kernel, removed the newer problematic one, and then tried to bypass that all together and get the latest one that was pending in update manager. | 16:55 |
| Roasted | But somehow Ubuntu didn't like that. | 16:55 |
| kuttan_ | 16:55 | |
| TomOwens | See, Stable for me is "latest official release", with the assumption that such a release has been tested and has minimal bugs. But I'll be looking at Arch. Thanks for your help. | 16:55 |

| simion314 | package or metapackage i mean | 16:57 |
| SauLus | Roasted: open another terminal and have an eye on the command 'tail -f /var/log/apt*/* /var/log/syslog' during the aptitude thing | 16:58 |

| brontosaurusrex | the regular version seems to be (entire family missing, bold, italic and such) | 17:06 |
| SauLus | Roasted you have two terminals open, right? | 17:07 |
| gondek | hi ppl | 17:07 |
| dshbusiness | thune3: well, it seems that there is some problem with my software source. I just can't connect to it | 17:07 |
| riyaz | any body tell me what is the application equi for run in windows | 17:07 |
| Roasted | SauLus - sure do. | 17:07 |
| SauLus | Roasted: Work on the first. Watch the logs with 'tail ...' on the second. Create a new one and write 'sudo pkill aptitude' | 17:08 |

| Israfel | Apparently every google link takes me to a forum where they talk about how there's no good calculators for Ubuntu. That's sad. | 17:08 |
| Roasted | SauLus - it still says its locked even after pskill aptitude. | 17:09 |
| Roasted | pkill | 17:09 |
| SauLus | Israfel: how shall it be calculated? Implicitly? Explicitly? Parametric? Do you want a numerical result or a visual output? | 17:09 |
| transom324 | i need help with my network connections | 17:09 |
| Roasted | SauLus - see why Im so confused now? | 17:09 |
| Israfel | SauLus: Any of the above would be nice. | 17:09 |
| edbian | transom324, What's the problem? | 17:09 |
| SauLus | Roasted: pkill -f aptitude | 17:10 |
| Israfel | SauLus: Graphing would be a nice bonus. | 17:10 |
| riyaz | saulus:what is equi application as Run in ubuntu? | 17:10 |
| erUSUL | Israfel: install wxmaxima is like mathematica. | 17:10 |
| transom324 | after an update last night my wireless and ethernet connections stopped working | 17:10 |
| Roasted | still locked | 17:10 |
| Israfel | AH, thanks. I know mathmatica. | 17:10 |
| erUSUL | Israfel: or the one already mentioned. | 17:10 |
| edbian | transom324, Do you have a wired connection. (e.g. the wire is plugged in and should be working by all accounts?) | 17:11 |
| SauLus | Israfel: there is one very nice parametric. Sadly I cant reach my box at the moment to have a look for the name. | 17:11 |
| erUSUL | Israfel: in the sense that it has simlar capabilities. symbolic math etc ... | 17:11 |
| edbian | transom324, Please being your posts with my name like I'm doing for you. It makes it easier for me to catch when you say things. | 17:11 |
| saby | hello | 17:11 |
| SauLus | riyaz: what does 'run' on windows do? | 17:11 |
| kuttan_ | Roasted: just do sudo su - | 17:11 |
| sacarlson | transom324: what do you see at a terminal with ifconfig | 17:11 |
| transom324 | yes but that's not working either | 17:11 |
| === pepper_ is now known as Spoko | ||
| edbian | transom324, What if you run "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" | 17:12 |
| edbian | ?? | 17:12 |
| riyaz | saulus:it will run an application if path is given.. | 17:12 |
| transom324 | im currently using a live boot for this session | 17:12 |
| kuttan_ | Roasted: then execute strace -o /tmp/strace.log apt-get dist* | 17:12 |
| SauLus | Roasted: whats the status? | 17:12 |
| edbian | transom324, If you ran off a live CD it's not going to affect your real install. | 17:12 |
| kuttan_ | Roasted: later on upload /tmp/strace.log to pastebin | 17:13 |
| Roasted | SauLus - its still locked even after pkill -f | 17:13 |
| Israfel | Thanks, installing both of them now. | 17:13 |
| SauLus | riyaz: you dont need 'run' on linux. you can type a command and it is being executed. Press ctrl+alt+t for a terminal or alt+f2 for just one command entry box | 17:13 |
| transom324 | it is the only way that i could connect to the internet to ask for help | 17:13 |
| saby | how do i set a drive to auto mount on startup ? | 17:13 |
| SauLus | Roasted: did you uses sudo pskill -f aptitude? | 17:14 |
| SauLus | -s | 17:14 |
| erUSUL | !fstab | saby | 17:14 |
| ubottu | saby: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 17:14 |
| Roasted | SauLus - yep | 17:14 |
| edbian | saby, By creating an entry in the file /etc/fstab | 17:14 |
| SauLus | Roasted: then I think I cant help you. Sorry. | 17:14 |
| blet | how to monitor every applications' netflow ? | 17:14 |
| shockmount | i have a laptop and i having problems using my external monitor. Every time i close the laptop lid it goes into suspend mode how do i go about changing that? | 17:14 |
| SauLus | blet: iftop | 17:14 |
| edbian | Roasted, Maybe I can. You killed all apt / dpkg related processes? | 17:14 |
| riyaz | saulus:where our installed components executable file will lie? | 17:15 |
| saby | edbian, but wouldnt that mount it as a folder ? | 17:15 |
| blet | SauLus, thx | 17:15 |
| SauLus | shockmount: change the energy settings in gnome | 17:15 |
| saby | or will it mount as a separate partition ? | 17:15 |
| Roasted | SauLus - I appreciate the help bro. | 17:15 |
| edbian | saby, Mounting anything means "putting it inside a folder" | 17:15 |
| edbian | saby, You mount a partition inside a folder. | 17:15 |
| Roasted | edbian - killed all as in, what? It seems to lock up by running 1 command, and nothing releases the lock except a reboot. | 17:15 |
| saby | oh ok so i can set it to mount in /mnt | 17:15 |
| edbian | Roasted, To be perfectly clear. What command are you running that isn't working? | 17:16 |
| SauLus | riyaz: depends on the file. usually it has a name which is in the $PATH. Then you execute a program as /bin/ls by typing "ls". | 17:16 |
| transom324 | edbian: i'll try your suggestion. thanks for your help | 17:16 |
| shockmount | SauLus: I dont get that option to change it to "off". Only thing I see is hibernate, suspend, shutdown, blank screen | 17:16 |
| saby | edbian, /dev/sda3 /mnt/ auto rw,auto,user,uid=your username 0 0 | 17:16 |
| saby | is this fine ? | 17:16 |
| edbian | Roasted, And in answer to your question. Look at ps -e (ps -e lists all the processes running on the system) If you see any processes in there that are related to apt they are the reason the file is locked. | 17:16 |
| edbian | saby, That looks good. | 17:16 |
| saby | :) | 17:16 |
| SauLus | edbian: please use the word directory instead of folder when you leave the desktop-metapher | 17:16 |
| edbian | saby, You have to specify the file system. auto won't do it. | 17:16 |
| Roasted | edbian sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade iy | 17:17 |
| Roasted | -y | 17:17 |
| saby | ok | 17:17 |
| edbian | SauLus, sure | 17:17 |
| makulkar_ | I'm in bit trouble as I have presentation tomorrow, and for some reason Im unable to project anything to projector! please help! | 17:17 |
| edbian | Roasted, Yeah. Look at ps -e make sure there aren't any processes running that have to do with the package manager. | 17:17 |
| saby | edbian, could you explain me "rw,auto,user,uid=your username 0 0" | 17:17 |
| edbian | If you'd like to use the gui then look at the system monitor, process tab | 17:17 |
| edbian | saby, rw = read/write, auto = mount at aboot time, user = user's can mount it, uid = I don't know, 0 and 0 means don't check the file system for problems ever. | 17:18 |
| SauLus | shockmount: it is "system > preferences > energy" and there have a look for the "lid" related things. | 17:18 |
| edbian | makulkar_, Boot the computer with the projector connected. | 17:18 |
| saby | edbian, thank you :) | 17:18 |
| edbian | saby, Yep. | 17:18 |
| Roasted | edbian - nothing sticks out as being related to package meneger that I see. theres aptitude, dpkg, frontend, and update-notifier, thats the closest I see. | 17:18 |
| sacarlson | makulkar_: I asume you have a laptop and you want an external monitor/projector conected? | 17:19 |
| edbian | Roasted, You see aptitude in the output of ps -e ?? | 17:19 |
| edbian | makulkar_, And with the projector turned on. | 17:19 |
| Roasted | edbian - I do. kill it? | 17:19 |
| tuberkulos | Does having Vista installed effect anything when using Ubuntu, except using memory on the harddrive? | 17:19 |
| makulkar_ | edbian, ok let me try. Btw Systeim->Preferences->System resolution detects the LCD but fails to project | 17:19 |
| edbian | Roasted, Yes, that process is the reason for the lock file. | 17:19 |
| SauLus | aptitude and dpkg both block the system Roasted | 17:19 |
| Roasted | tuberkulos - it uses hard drive space, not memory. Two different things. :P | 17:19 |
| Roasted | edbian - pkill? | 17:20 |
| makulkar_ | sacarlson, yes right. I was able to till yesterday but not today | 17:20 |
| edbian | makulkar_, All I know is that when I want any external display to work that I have to have it plugged in during the boot process. | 17:20 |
| shockmount | SauLus: What version of ubuntu are you running because i dont have "energy" i have "power management". | 17:20 |
| edbian | Roasted, kill <pid of aptitude> | 17:20 |
| edbian | Roasted, Then check ps -e again. If it didn't kill it you might have to "kill -9 <pid of aptitude>" | 17:20 |
| SauLus | Roasted: hard drive space is also memory ;) | 17:20 |
| pooper | i have just installed 10.04 32-bit and I cant get the sound card to work. I need some help in figuring this out :S | 17:21 |
| SauLus | shockmount: youre right. I was just translating it. | 17:21 |
| makulkar_ | edbian, ok it used to work without it before. Anyways will try rebooting. I suspect it may be due to gnome login error I get after login screen. | 17:21 |
| Roasted | edbian - it needed the -9 to kill it. | 17:21 |
| Roasted | SauLus - TECHNICALLY memory and storage are two different things. :P | 17:21 |
| edbian | makulkar_, Maybe. Errors are generally not good. | 17:21 |
| edbian | Roasted, now try your command again. | 17:21 |
| SauLus | Roasted: Ok, we hang on definitions. Its time to stop ^ | 17:21 |
| makulkar_ | "An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for Encryption Key Agent (Seahorse). Some of your configuration settings may not work properly." | 17:21 |
| SauLus | ^^ | 17:21 |
| Roasted | SauLus - just going by what I was taught bro :P | 17:22 |
| shockmount | SauLus: Yes but if my options are: suspen, hibernate, blank, shutdown. I have no option other option to keep connection to HDMI | 17:22 |
| tuberkulos | Roasted, as you can see I am far from being a tech savvy | 17:22 |
| makulkar_ | edbian, ^^ what does that error mean? | 17:22 |
| tuberkulos | Thank you for the prompt reply | 17:22 |
| SauLus | shockmount: where exactly are you looking for the setting? | 17:23 |
| edbian | makulkar_, I can't tell you very well. I'd have to research it myself. | 17:23 |
| edbian | makulkar_, Doesn't appear to be anything to do with your monitor / external display though. | 17:23 |
| edbian | Roasted, Did it work? | 17:23 |
| shockmount | SauLus: I am looking in power management | 17:23 |
| makulkar_ | edbian, ok will try to reboot now. Thanks! | 17:23 |
| edbian | makulkar_, Good luck. | 17:23 |
| pooper | what do you guys recommend alsa or pulseaudio?? | 17:24 |
| Roasted | edbian - Im able to run the command, but when I run it again, it requires me to run configure -a first. I do that, then run the command again, and it freezes @ something about mysql server. After I run configure -a, I see errors were encountered while processing linux kernel 23, linux kernel 24, mysql-server-5.1, and linux-headers-generic. | 17:24 |
| sacarlson | pooper: no sound comes out. if you play like mp3 does it seem to play but no sound or not seeing any sound device and can't play? | 17:25 |
| saby | edbian, that isnt working | 17:25 |
| saby | edbian, i used this "/dev/sda3 /media/OS/ ntfs rw,auto,user,uid=saby 0 0" | 17:25 |
| SauLus | shockmount: where exactly? There are three tabs | 17:25 |
| pooper | sacarlson, the device is recognized when i do an lspci, however there is no audio comming out | 17:25 |
| The_Dude | I've got a brand new HDD wich I'm going to manualy partition. I know that grub2 needs at least 63 sectors of free space in front on the first partition to embed the core.img. How large is 63 sectors in bytes? | 17:26 |
| sacarlson | pooper: I'm sure you checked that the sound is not muted | 17:26 |
| pooper | sacarlson, i checked | 17:26 |
| pooper | sacarlson, its not muted | 17:26 |
| pooper | sacarlson, sshould i give alsa a try? | 17:27 |
| SauLus | The_Dude: I think you can not touch the first part of the disc drive using usual partition managers. So dont worry. Just partition and everything will be alright | 17:27 |
| shockmount | SauLus: I read on ubuntu that its a bug, so I may have to manual set it | 17:27 |
| saby | hi could anyone tell me how to mount a partition at startup, i am trying this in fstab "/dev/sda3 /media/OS ntfs rw,auto,user,uid=saby 0 0" | 17:27 |
| sacarlson | pooper: so lspci what card is it. I use pulseaudio the now default. I'm not sure alsa would be better or worse | 17:27 |
| SauLus | shockmount: ok | 17:27 |
| The_Dude | Well, the last time (on Debian) I got the message that the embedding area was unusually small | 17:28 |
| SauLus | saby: do you have created the directory /media/OS? Does /dev/sda3 exist? Is it a ntfs partition? What happens with your command? | 17:28 |
| makulkar_ | edbian, it worked and started showing login screen. Once it started logging in, couple of errors and "No Single" on external display | 17:28 |
| pooper | sacarlson, lspci outputs: "Audio device: VIA technologies, Inc. VT1708/A [Azalia HDAC] (VIA high Definition Audio Controller) (rev 10) | 17:29 |
| BluesKaj | pooper, alsa is the default kernel source driver , pulseaudio uses it to run on top as a optional audio processor.So it's not an either or situation | 17:29 |
| SauLus | The_Dude: which program do you want to use for the partitioning? | 17:29 |

| The_Dude | SauLus, I want to lay out the drive my own way | 17:30 |
| Roasted | edbian - in regard to the 4 errors I found (kernel 23, 24, linux headers generic, mysql server) do you think thats a red flag? | 17:30 |
| SauLus | The_Dude: then do the partitioning with the ubuntu installer. It knows how to handle grub_2 | 17:30 |
| kuttan | hi | 17:30 |
| SauLus | The_Dude: you can do that using the installer. just use your own scheme. The installer creates it for you. | 17:31 |
| pooper | sacarlson, what if I reinstall pulse-audio?? | 17:31 |
| The_Dude | SauLus, OK, gonna use the Ubuntu installer. | 17:31 |

| SauLus | The_Dude: makes life easier ;) | 17:31 |
| saby | SauLus & edbian thank you :) | 17:32 |
| edbian | saby, "saby" is not a uid. I suggest just getting rid of uid. UID is a number. A user ID number. | 17:32 |
| saby | edbian, so i should use 1000 instead of saby | 17:32 |
| edbian | Roasted, Uhh, sudo aptitude install -f | 17:32 |
| edbian | saby, If that's your uid. (probably is) | 17:33 |
| thune3 | saby: not a huge thing, but ubuntu convention puts fixed mountpoints under /mnt/, /media is for dynamic (auto) mounts. Not a big deal. (fstab *will* understand uid=saby) | 17:33 |
| saby | ya shows that in passwd file :) | 17:33 |
| edbian | Roasted, That fixes broken packages. Aptitude does a better job and resolving problems than apt-get does. | 17:33 |
| edbian | saby, Then yes. | 17:33 |
| saby | thune3, ok :) | 17:33 |
| pooper | sacarlson, any suggestions? Or should I look for another sound card :p | 17:33 |
| sacarlson | pooper: well did it work in a previose version? | 17:34 |
| ozan | Can you give me as where komfigurasi postfi mail server... | 17:34 |
| edbian | Roasted, The package manager is running again which means we fixed the original problem. Now you just have broken / misconfigured packages. That's another beast :) | 17:34 |
| Roasted | edbian - while the command completed and came back to the regular prompt, I did get some errors, including for kernel 23, 24, linux headers generic, and mysql server (again) | 17:34 |
| edbian | Roasted, Mmm, I'm not sure? | 17:34 |
| pooper | sacarlson, This machine had 8.04 on it... I did a fresh install of 10.04 and the sound is dead | 17:34 |

| pooper | sacarlson, so just to be sure, you're saying that installing alsa will not make a difference? | 17:39 |
| zelrikriando | hello | 17:39 |
| Roasted | edbian - what kind of time frame am I looking to get this working? Should I just reinstall? | 17:39 |
| edbian | Roasted, The packages that are broken are kde packages. A lot of these packages are kde packages! plasma widgets workspace kpackagekit kubuntu-debug-installer | 17:39 |
| edbian | Roasted, Oh no no, we're close. | 17:40 |
| sacarlson | pooper: it won't kill you to try but it looks like alsa has a history of a bug in that model sound card | 17:40 |
| Roasted | edbian - I have no idea about the kde packages - the only kde application I have installed (to my knowledge) is ktorrent. | 17:40 |
| edbian | Roasted, Did you say you had some front-end running in ps -e? | 17:40 |
| zelrikriando | Is there somebody experienced at installing Wow on ubuntu here? | 17:40 |
| Roasted | edbian - let me recheck | 17:40 |
| edbian | Roasted, ktorrent will depend on a lot of kde stuff. | 17:40 |
| edbian | Roasted, on second though, just pastebin your ps -e | 17:40 |
| Roasted | edbian - I have a process simply called frontend | 17:40 |
| pooper | sacarlson, and pulseaudio is the default controller in 10.04 correct? | 17:40 |
| edbian | Roasted, I'll give back of a list of all the things we need to kill. | 17:40 |
| edbian | Roasted, It'll be easier that way. | 17:40 |
| AlphaWaves | hey ul banned$ | 17:41 |
| Roasted | edbian http://pastebin.org/457777 | 17:41 |
| edbian | Roasted, What happened last time was the package manager crashed and left a bunch of it's little sub processes running. Now we have to stop them all before any instance of the package manager can work again. | 17:41 |
| sacarlson | pooper: yes , I think I would try see about installing that latist kernel for 10.04 first, if that fails go for the backport fix | 17:41 |
| BluesKaj | pooper have you tried alsa without pulseaudio ? | 17:41 |
| edbian | Roasted, kill frontend | 17:41 |
| edbian | Roasted, You know you're running a web server? | 17:41 |
| saby | how do i remove the mounted partition icons from the desktop ? | 17:42 |
| pooper | BluesKaj, no I have not | 17:42 |
| BluesKaj | what soundcard , pooper ? | 17:42 |
| edbian | Roasted, That appears to be it. Just frontend. Then try that command again. sudo aptitude install -f | 17:42 |
| edbian | saby, Reboot. | 17:42 |

| saby | edbian, not that, i mean permanently remove so that it doesnt show the mounted drives on the desktop :) | 17:43 |
| edbian | saby, Mount them in a different place than /media | 17:43 |
| Roasted | edbian - yeah I have apache running if I want to host a file real quick to a buddy. Other than that it doesnt serve any other purpose. | 17:44 |
| edbian | Roasted, cool. | 17:44 |
| saby | edbian, isnt there anyway other than mounting them in a place other than /media as when pen drives or external drives auto mount, it will still show that | 17:44 |
| bonhoffer | is there a way to get the last 5 files from ls -lt | 17:44 |

| Roasted | gave me the same output as before, command completed, but said errors with kernel 23, 24, generic headers, and mysql 5.1 | 17:45 |
| Roasted | server | 17:45 |
| edbian | Roasted, We are trying to get to the point where running aptitude install -f does nothing. | 17:45 |
| saby | edbian, ya i think there is cos i had done it in 9.04 and i cant remember it now how i did it :P | 17:45 |
| Roasted | edbian - ehh... hmm. | 17:46 |
| edbian | Roasted, Can you pastebin the output again? | 17:46 |
| Roasted | edbian - sure | 17:46 |

| ubottu | pooper: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto | 17:47 |
| transom324 | edbian: I tried sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart. it didn't fix the problem. I'm back on the live cd | 17:47 |
| Roasted | edbian - http://pastebin.org/457796 | 17:47 |
| edbian | transom324, I don't know then! Sorry. I have to go soon and I don't have time to help you. | 17:47 |
| bonhoffer | llutz: is there a way to see more of the file in tail | 17:47 |
| llutz | bonhoffer: sure, "man tail" tells you | 17:47 |
| BluesKaj | pooper,your VIA soundcard usues an intel chip , hence the tutorial above | 17:47 |
| transom324 | edbian: thanks again | 17:48 |
| bonhoffer | llutz: thought of that as soon as i hit enter | 17:48 |
| pooper | BluesKaj, I will give that a shot | 17:48 |
| pooper | thnx! | 17:48 |
| BluesKaj | pooper, let's hope it works | 17:48 |
| edbian | Roasted, I'm not sure. That same file is still locked. My suggestion: restart the PC (will kill a bunch of processes) and if that command still doesn't finish. (It might be ending but it's not doing what it set out to do. You should get nothing like lines 24 - 36. | 17:48 |
| edbian | Roasted, If it still doesn't finish without errors ask around here some more. Additionally re-installing the OS will fix the problem but it will be overkill on a massive scale. | 17:49 |
| Roasted | edbian - rebooting. youre saying run the install -f command when I boot up again? | 17:49 |
| SauLus | edbian: what is the status with Roasted ? | 17:49 |
| transom324 | Anyone: Is there a way to undo a update manager change? | 17:49 |
| Roasted | edbian - well I have my partitions split fortunately. | 17:49 |
| edbian | Roasted, Yeah, run aptitude install -f after you've rebooted. | 17:49 |
| Roasted | edbian - besides, I have a listing of all of the programs I have installed, so a single apt-get install blah blah blah blah blah command I could have my stuff back pretty soon. | 17:49 |
| edbian | SauLus, aptitude install -f cannot finish because it is stuck on a locked file /var/cache/debconf/config.dat | 17:50 |
| Roasted | edbian - I've used Ubuntu long enough to find out the easy ways of getting things running again when a problem comes about - Im just stubborn and like to try and figure out the problem before I reinstall. :P | 17:50 |
| SauLus | edbian: did you try lsof? | 17:50 |
| edbian | Roasted, It's better to fix the problem this way than to re-install. It's akin to "The light at the top of the stairs is out" I'll buy a new house with a light bulb that isn't burned out and burn down my old house. Also I have a storage locker I put all my stuff in so this will be easy. | 17:51 |
| edbian | SauLus, Nope | 17:51 |
| SauLus | Roasted: what does lsof /var/cache/debconf/config.dat results to? | 17:51 |
| edbian | SauLus, Have fun! | 17:51 |
| noob7 | how can I get a sorted(by size) table of all the files/directories from the terminal (I tried du -s * |sort -n but I'd like to see it human-readable) | 17:51 |
| edbian | Roasted, Good luck! | 17:51 |
| SauLus | hrhr edbian ;) | 17:51 |
| edbian | Off to work with me! :) | 17:51 |
| edbian | noob7, Hell of a question for a "noob" | 17:52 |
| edbian | noob7, :) | 17:52 |
| Roasted | edbian, its locking up again when running that command. | 17:52 |
| Roasted | edbian - thanks for your help, but I think we're toast. | 17:52 |
| noob7 | yep | 17:52 |
| Roasted | I probably shouldnt have removed the newer kensl in synaptic | 17:52 |

| gsp2009 | can anyone tell me if installing many fonts on 10.04 can slow down system performance? | 18:43 |
| saganbyte | nisstyre65, should i install wicd before installing fluxbox? | 18:44 |
| nisstyre65 | saganbyte: it doesn't really matter | 18:44 |
| darkzay | gsp2009 i doubt it would slow down it probably would only slow down if your in a text document | 18:44 |
| nisstyre65 | I guess if you don't want to have to get the wifi up manually | 18:44 |
| xangua | gsp2009: it could just slow down openoffice | 18:44 |
| saganbyte | nisstyre65, coz i wont have the wireless internet up and running immediately when i log in thru fluxbox right? | 18:44 |
| xangua | or other office suite | 18:44 |
| nisstyre65 | saganbyte: yeah, that's correct | 18:44 |
| abhijit | hey i was disconnected. | 18:44 |
| abhijit | Zzubuntoo, then contribute by translating it. | 18:45 |
| saganbyte | nisstyre65, then how will i be able to install wicd at that time | 18:45 |
| saganbyte | wired? | 18:45 |
| nisstyre65 | saganbyte: well, you can get the wifi up with some command line tools | 18:45 |
| gsp2009 | darkzay: xangua. thanks. I didn't think so, but I had heard that it would so I didn't want to install a couple of hundred fonts at once, just in case. | 18:45 |

| saganbyte | nisstyre65, oh i m so sorry, i ll look through that, thanks for your patience tho :) | 18:47 |

| X-Sleepy-X | So, I'm comparing my two installations of Ubuntu 10.04 and I'm searching synaptic for "samba" on one of the computers i see that libpam-smbpass is installed and it's not on the other computer. The one that has it installed can see the computers of the network and vice versa, i've done the same setup on both of the computers so how come one of them has that package and one doesn't? I've not installed anything through synaptic when | 18:47 |
| X-Sleepy-X | it comes to file sharing, I've only done it by clicking in nautilus... Any help / guidance in this matter is most welcome! :) | 18:47 |
| magicianlord | you can connect wirelessly with 3 commands in cli | 18:47 |
| nisstyre65 | saganbyte: however it's more convenient to use a tool like network-manager or wicd | 18:47 |

| slidinghorn | thefatloverboy: why? | 18:48 |
| saganbyte | nisstyre65, if i use fluxbox, will i have to reinstall xchat again or will i be able to use this existing one | 18:48 |
| thefatloverboy | cuz is so old | 18:48 |
| ActionParsnip | saganbyte: you can use xchat in any DE | 18:48 |
| thefatloverboy | and i got not optiones | 18:49 |
| slidinghorn | thefatloverboy: what functionality are you looking for in a newer version? what problem do you have (specifically) with the current version | 18:49 |
| saganbyte | ActionParsnip, okay thanks | 18:49 |
| ActionParsnip | thefatloverboy: if its the latest for linux then thats it, the fact its old is moot. If skype dont want to update their crap more oftn then thats their issue as the protocol is proprietary | 18:49 |
| nisstyre65 | saganbyte: you can use xchat for sure | 18:49 |
| saganbyte | ActionParsnip, actually i m only worried about getting the wireless running once fluxbox is installed | 18:49 |
| MaT-dg | How do I install the AAC encoder? | 18:49 |
| ActionParsnip | saganbyte: you can use your usual network app in fluxbox if it is currently installed. I think you are confused what fluxbox is | 18:50 |
| nisstyre65 | ActionParsnip: doesn't network-manager require gnome dependencies? | 18:50 |
| thefatloverboy | ok, i think i cant have a video call in this version | 18:50 |
| ActionParsnip | nisstyre65: sure but if they are installed then it will run in any DE | 18:50 |
| ActionParsnip | nisstyre65: just like you can run KDE apps in gnome | 18:51 |
| thefatloverboy | that ś what i think | 18:51 |
| nisstyre65 | yeah, I thought he was getting rid of gnome all together | 18:51 |
| saganbyte | ActionParsnip, yes i feel the same.. a little confusion about it.. i m under the impression i ll have to setup wireless network (incl enable drivers etc) all over again | 18:51 |

| nisstyre65 | nb72: there might be something under /var/log | 19:15 |
| kbmaniac | anybody got google gears working on 10.04 ? | 19:15 |
| nb72 | nisstyre65, thanks I'll take a look | 19:16 |
| some1 | because i need to go to a site that doesn't support anything but IE | 19:16 |
| slidinghorn | some1: deca-prime POL is like a front end for wine :) | 19:16 |
| nisstyre65 | /var/log/cups/error_log for me | 19:16 |
| slidinghorn | some1: then you need to go to a different site ;) if it's netflix -- there is no linux support at this time -- send a letter to them :) | 19:16 |
| some1 | ok ,,, i'll try wine and get back | 19:16 |
| Nylos | Hello | 19:16 |
| saby | hi, i mounted a partition in /mnt, is there a way to view that partition in "Computer" | 19:17 |
| pil | hello everyone - I am studying the ubuntu pocket guide and I have a question - it says that "To allow GUI login as root, click System - Administration - Login - Window. Select the Security tab and put a check in the box marked - Allow Local System Administrator Login. Then logout and back in." But when I open the Login screen in system - administration there is no Allow Local System Administrator login.:( What gives?...!!! | 19:17 |
| nisstyre65 | pil: what version of ubuntu is it based on? | 19:17 |
| slidinghorn | pil: why do you want to login to a GUI as root...this is very dangerous | 19:17 |
| pil | slidinghorn: the latest which is downloadable from the ubuntu URL... | 19:18 |
| iceroot | pil: dont run the gui as root | 19:18 |
| bootstrap | Hello, are there any issues with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 and Ubuntu? I have always used Nvidia, I'm not sure about ATI. | 19:18 |
| Hilikus | i can't find any guides on installing virtualbox on LVM, is this not recommended or something? | 19:19 |
| llvllonk | Anyone know the command line to see my sound driver? and or how to update the driver for it? Sound works when i reboot...but after a few hours it doesn't work....btw how do i adjust volume >.< | 19:19 |
| slidinghorn | pil: that was nisstyre65 that asked the version.....my question (which is more important) is *why* you want to login to a GUI as root? | 19:19 |
| pil | iceroot, nissytyre65: I am not gonna do it of course but I just wanna finish the book without left any questions in my mind... thats why... :) | 19:19 |
| iceroot | pil: look at the gdm cofig, the rest is not supported here | 19:20 |
| nisstyre65 | if you REALLY wanted to log in as root you could do it from the command line by running 'sudo startx' probably | 19:20 |
| pil | ok - thanks everyone... | 19:21 |
| pil | :) | 19:21 |
| slidinghorn | nisstyre65: that won't work, and please don't try to tell people how to login to a GUI as root...it's not supported here as far as I'm aware | 19:21 |
| patholio | is there a way of choosing what OS you want to boot back into after you reboot, but you choose before you shutdown? | 19:21 |
| Nylos | Hello, when i run ubuntu without "save graphics mode" i get this -> "http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/9558/screenelf.png" screen - what can i do? | 19:21 |
| nisstyre65 | slidinghorn: I'm fairly sure it would work, and he already said he isn't going to do it | 19:21 |
| riyaz | how to run postgresql to create databases | 19:21 |
| llutz | nisstyre65: it will mess up permissions of some user-files most likely | 19:22 |
| nisstyre65 | unless startx won't run as root | 19:22 |
| nisstyre65 | llutz: yeah probably, which is why nobody does it | 19:22 |
| pil | slidinghorn: my point is to read the book and understand it without any questions - thats why I asked :) | 19:22 |
| slidinghorn | !root | pil take a look here for more info | 19:23 |
| ubottu | pil take a look here for more info: 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 | 19:23 |
| riyaz | anybody pls tell how to run postgresql to create databases???? | 19:23 |
| iceroot | riyaz: #postgresql | 19:24 |
| pil | slidinghorn, ubottu: okay... thanks alot ... much appreciated.. :) | 19:24 |

| luw | where # is your interface | 19:44 |
| almoxarife | bccar: one of the easiest ways to see if you have the port open to at least thru the modem/router is to use one of the web firewall checkers, it will tell you what ports are open looking from the outside | 19:44 |
| denverdave | coz_ you are correct | 19:44 |
| Dr_Willis | saby: that is weird. sounds like the MBR is getting trashed. You may want to double check teh bios. but i cant think of any other reason for it to be doing that. You may want to ask in #windows they may have some suggestions. | 19:44 |
| luw | try that | 19:44 |
| coz_ | denverdave, go here http://se.releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ and download the correct "Desktop CD" x86 or 64 bit | 19:44 |

| === slidinghorn is now known as [-slidinghorn-] | ||
| IceD^ | ext2/ext3 is possible via some weird software (not ifs driver) | 20:00 |

| IceD^ | ext4 is possible if it's without extends (which is unlikely) | 20:00 |
| IceD^ | so - proper solution - get rid of windows xp | 20:00 |
| mrman208 | IceD^: Yup, basically. | 20:01 |
| fearful | IceD^, I actually don't have windows xp, wanted to see installing it but not anymore. | 20:01 |

| IceD^ | mrman208, don't use apt-get in ubuntu | 20:02 |

| IceD^ | there is aptidude | 20:02 |

| mrman208 | IceD^: What is the difference | 20:03 |
| abhijit | !apt-get | 20:03 |
| ubottu | APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 20:03 |

| abhijit | !aptitude | 20:03 |
| mrman208 | guntbert: Good point, sorry | 20:03 |
| 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 | 20:03 |

| abhijit | augustRush, hey ask then! | 20:04 |
| IceD^ | they keep separate db of installed software - and if you'll install package + deps via apt-get - you'll have no way (well, deborphan or smth) to auto remove deps when pacakage is removed | 20:04 |
| augustRush | I have some movie with .avi extension and it runs only in x3 player | 20:04 |

| plunder | ilovefairuz: yea i guess ill try the mouse on a windows to see if the mouse is ok | 20:58 |
| pagan0ne | plunder, look for the line... "Identifier "mouse0"" | 20:58 |
| scott__ | @running_rabbit @ilovefairuz ok will check that out | 20:59 |
| plunder | paganOne: theres no line like that | 20:59 |
| suprengr | scott__: tried xchat-gnome &severely regretted it... wnt staright back to xchat | 20:59 |
| pagan0ne | plunder, eh 10.04 took a lot out of xorg.conf so i have no idea where thats set at now lol | 20:59 |
| suprengr | *went | 20:59 |
| running_rabbit07 | no need for bashing other versions | 20:59 |
| plunder | paganOne: yeah 10.04 messed me all up, i dunno how to get in grub anymore :| | 20:59 |
| scott__ | @supreng: thats what I am using now....seems pretty bland | 21:00 |
| jefinc | is ubuntu server just a barebone desktop edition? | 21:00 |
| ChogyDan | LinuxGArReT: that is the wine thing, right? Have you tried wine? | 21:00 |

| pagan0ne | hey guys, hows it going... i need some help with a triple head setup on 10.04, i got all 3 working, correct resolutions, etc, but the wrong display is "primary" i want the center monitor to be the primary display (gdm login, top and bottom toolbars etc) however can not find the option where to set this... any ideas? im using xinerama on nvidia cards with nvidia drivers, twinview is not an option. | 21:00 |
| sarawara | what should i type to join the dutch ubuntu chat? | 21:00 |
| running_rabbit07 | what is a triple head setup? | 21:00 |
| pagan0ne | running_rabbit07, 3 monitors | 21:00 |
| running_rabbit07 | si | 21:00 |
| LinuxGArReT | ChogyDan, Yes I have tried Wine. I can't install or Run My Steam Application through wine. My Friend told me that I have to install Cedega to fix that. | 21:01 |
| suprengr | scott__: which one, xchat or xchat-gnome is bland? | 21:01 |
| running_rabbit07 | xchat | 21:01 |
| abhijit | bye all ! | 21:01 |
| abhijit | :) | 21:01 |
| ChogyDan | LinuxGArReT: that's odd. You may need an updated Cedega. Have you tried the appdb? | 21:01 |
| cyphase | is there a way to install ubuntu with the desktop installer without formatting the root filesystem? | 21:01 |
| running_rabbit07 | cyphase, no | 21:02 |
| scott__ | @suprengr xchat-gnome | 21:02 |
| pagan0ne | i guess we dont have any xorg guru's in here lol | 21:02 |
| cyphase | running_rabbit07, how about the alternate installer? | 21:02 |
| running_rabbit07 | not that I know of | 21:02 |
| LinuxGArReT | ChogyDan, that is the thing. I do have the latest Cedega. And I have no clue what is appdb... What is that? | 21:02 |
| suprengr | scott__: for what it's worth - xgat-gnome is more pleasing on netbook edition but I found it too restrictive on a full screen | 21:02 |

| plunder | ilovefairuz,pagan0ne: the mouse went bad somehow, :| ty fellas | 21:04 |
| sarawara | :) thanks | 21:04 |
| pagan0ne | plunder, good luck, i doubt it was caused by the fsck, but it is an odd issue | 21:04 |
| pagan0ne | plunder, try it on another system... windows, another linux distro etc, see if its the mouse of an issue in ubuntu 10.04? | 21:04 |
| plunder | pagan0ne: i did, i tried it on windows, the mouse is bad, keeps reconnecting | 21:05 |
| plunder | pagan0ne: new mouse time :p | 21:05 |
| pagan0ne | plunder, yeah that sounds like the usb controller interface is fried.... | 21:05 |
| plunder | pagan0ne: as long as thats the one in the mouse im happy haha | 21:06 |
| pagan0ne | plunder, i doubt its in the computer, most likely its in the mouse if the mouse has issues with other systems as well | 21:06 |
| pagan0ne | lol | 21:06 |
| pagan0ne | plunder, and the computer is able to recognize other usb devices on the port(s) in question | 21:07 |
| LinuxGArReT | ChogyDan, might be a stupid question. I've looked at the website, and it showed that Steam is supported... but it's not working for me... It growls something about a .dll file that cant be found... but I know it works since it works perfect on Windows | 21:07 |
| suprengr | scott__: at the start of this [when he tought erroneously that I was knocking other s/w running_rabbit07 mentioned chatzilla - I've no experience with that one - why not try that if xc-gnomeisn't good for you | 21:07 |
| michiellus | for some reason when i run a .ica or .rdp file from my desktop and choose the program to open it with it doesnt remember the setting for the file type even while its marked | 21:07 |
| scott__ | @suprengr Yes I will take a look at that. | 21:07 |
| ChogyDan | LinuxGArReT: sometimes that website has additional instructions, like where to get that dll | 21:08 |

| Wormfall | Everytime I start my computer I get to the user select screen and my computer automatically hibernates.. | 21:08 |
| pagan0ne | ok, well if i cant get xinerama help here, any ideas where? #nvidia is dead, and its not really a nvidia issue, #xorg wont let anyone talk..... | 21:08 |
| ChogyDan | LinuxGArReT: but you should ask in #winehq. Steam is pretty popular, Im sure someone knows the issue | 21:08 |
| LinuxGArReT | ChogyDan, Thank you. Will try that now | 21:09 |
| Wormfall | When i click the lid button, it turns back on; however, there is now image on the screen.. really frustrating.. reinstalled three times | 21:09 |

| Uhmm | i have a problem about my 10.4 ubuntu , on my toshiba qosmio x505-q870 | 21:14 |
| Wormfall | Has anyone ever encountered my problem? | 21:14 |
| Wormfall | Everytime I start my computer I get to the user select screen and my computer automatically hibernates.. | 21:14 |
| Uhmm | i can not connect wireless network :/ | 21:14 |

| Uhmm | :) | 21:14 |
| running_rabbit07 | azlon, the server does have to have DHPC, if you turn off DHCP in your router and allow the server to do it, then your scripts will run better | 21:15 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall: do you "start" from hibernation ? | 21:15 |
| Uhmm | i have a problem with connecting my wireless network , 10.4 , when i try to do connect from network manager.. i can not list my network. | 21:15 |
| ilovefairuz | Uhmm: do you see a list of wireless networks when you right click the network icon? what happens when you click on a wireless network? | 21:15 |
| sigmab3ta | does anyone else's lucid install take forever to login after a reboot? | 21:15 |
| sigmab3ta | the boot itself is fine but the login takes like almost an extra minute and a half | 21:16 |
| DocPlatypus | henkpoley: what happens if I just "sudo kill -9 1909"? not like it is even responding to that, mind you | 21:16 |
| sigmab3ta | and i'm on a core 2 duo with 4GB ram so it's not that... | 21:16 |
| ilovefairuz | Uhmm: do you see any other networks or no networks at all? | 21:16 |
| Uhmm | ilovefairuz no...sometimes.. other networks shown.. except mine. | 21:16 |
| Uhmm | no , just my wireless network. | 21:16 |
| running_rabbit07 | Uhmm, is your router set to not broadcast the SSID? | 21:16 |
| Wormfall | henkpoley: No i start normally.. off of a fresh installation. It shouldn't start from hibernation. I can boot the demo off of the live cd but not through the installation file | 21:16 |
| Uhmm | i ll check 1 min. | 21:16 |
| running_rabbit07 | aka hidden network? | 21:16 |
| azlon | running_rabbit07: ok, so when i disable DHCP on the SOHO router, i will make this machine the DHCP server. I still need the SOHO router for wifi. this will create a new network for all wifi devices, correct? | 21:16 |
| running_rabbit07 | azlon, you will have to set the IPs on the wireless machines statically | 21:17 |
| === fred_ is now known as Guest38623 | ||
| Uhmm | running_rabbit07 it should be set by broadcast ssid? | 21:19 |
| azlon | running_rabbit07: hrmm... ok, so even if i tell the wifi router that this machine is the gateway, it wont dynamically assign the IP addresses? what i am getting at is that i don't care about statically assigning wired devices an IP address (already doing so right now), but i do want wifi devices to dynamically get IP addresses, any way to do this? | 21:19 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall: are you able to install SSH from the console and login with another system to watch the dmesh during your desktop login ? | 21:20 |

| romulobr | hi, i installed ubuntu 10.4 64 bit and i' m very happy with everything except for flash performance. Is there any way to make flash to run any better? would it perform better if i had made an 32 bit install? ubuntu page says I shouldn' t use 64 bit for a desktop, but I have 4GB of ram and i want to upgrade to 8GB very soon, a 32 bit system would work with that ammount of ram? | 21:21 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall: just checking :-P | 21:21 |
| Wormfall | henkpoley: no problem, I have a toshiba a70 that I am installing on and appearently its kind of hard to install ubuntu on them.. not to sure though.. frustrating none-the less.. any suggestions?\ | 21:22 |
| rww | romulobr: in order: not really; no; ignore the download page, it's wrong; yes, 32-bit will install a PAE kernel if the regular one wouldn't address your RAM fully | 21:22 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall: is there a 'safe' desktop you can login to? usually Ubuntu goes into gnome, but you can chose another one before you log in. | 21:23 |
| st__ | my system wants 232 MB of updates, is it normal? | 21:23 |

| jessica56 | hi all.. new to linux, wondering... if there is a way to create a bootable usb, within ubuntu? maybe an app? Also Im using chrome, and my webpages are being redirected constantly.. any solution? Id appreciate any help, on these issues | 21:23 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall: I mean, start ubuntu, then when you need to enter your username, first click around to see if you can chose another desktop. | 21:24 |
| azlon | is it difficult to setup multiple OS's using PXE? for example, i want to be able to choose between a windows install and an Ubuntu install. i have read plenty on how to install Ubuntu over PXE, but nothing about being able to choose between the two | 21:24 |

| panzi | has anyone any idea why that might be? | 21:25 |
| azlon | panzi: i have an Asus EEE box nettop and had a similar issue. | 21:25 |
| scott__ | what network card do you have ? | 21:25 |
| rww | hiexpo: Ubuntu doesn't have a root password by default, and we don't support having one set, and "su root" asks for one. You possibly want "sudo -i" | 21:25 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall: what do you mean with 'hibernation mode' ? Please describe, so I can be sure we are on one line :P | 21:25 |
| panzi | azlon: how did you resolve it? | 21:25 |
| Novalok | panzi possibly a bios setting? | 21:26 |
| hiexpo | rww ok thought so but want to verify | 21:26 |
| panzi | Novalok: she chooses the usb device in the bios to boot from! still the installed OS is booted | 21:26 |
| Uhmm | henkpoley ; i can not connect my wireless network , my os is 10.4 , i can with my windows without any prolem :/ | 21:26 |

| azlon | panzi: it ended up being a problem with my thumb drive. I was using a sandisc piece of crap that had a CD partition and a drive partition. the EEE box saw the CD partition as a usb removable device (thumb drive) and the thumb drive partition as a hdd. make sure you set the priorities in the HDD section so that the thumbdrive is above the HDD | 21:27 |
| Novalok | WUSB100v2 anyone know how to get it working | 21:27 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall: I know what 'hibernation' means, it might just be that you are slightly mistaken and it's crashing or something | 21:28 |
| Uhmm | henkpoley ; i can not connect my wireless network , my os is 10.4 , i can with my windows without any prolem :/ | 21:28 |
| Wormfall | henkpoley: The computer starts and when I get to the select the user.. I lose ability to control the mouse and the computer goes to sleep/hibernates and I can see that by the orange at the front of the laptop | 21:28 |
| panzi | azlon: hm, I'm trying another usb stick then | 21:29 |
| Wormfall | henkpoley: and when I hold down the lid close button and let it go.. the computer does start back up, and my power light goes blue and I can hear the fan and hard drive wokring i just dont get an image on the screen | 21:29 |

| red2kic | ohad: Write a script that will mount the partition and generate a shortcut link? | 21:38 |
| ilovefairuz | ohad: or set the partition to automount at boot | 21:39 |
| ilovefairuz | ohad: /etc/fstab | 21:39 |

| Novalok | Im having a problem with my Linksys Wireless usb adapter(WUSB100v2), i've attempted many fixes including ndiswrapper, im running 10.04. Ubuntu can see my USB drive and identify it as linksys wireless usb when i run lsusb, Im pretty much lost. | 21:41 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall: or does it just show a list with windows & ubuntu ? | 21:42 |
| ilovefairuz | jessica56: someone probably hijacked your router or your ISP DNS server | 21:42 |
| Wormfall | henkpoley: I can make it boot into grub 1 sec | 21:42 |
| jessica56 | what should I do? | 21:42 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall: at least select ubuntu from the list, then press 'e' to edit the boot options | 21:42 |
| ilovefairuz | mustafa: not all laptops have it, some do, some don't | 21:42 |
| ubunt1 | Hi. I created a panel on Ubuntu and it is invisible. I was just exploring, so now I want to delete the panel. The right area of my screen is occupied by a supposedly invisible panel, so when I expand a window, it fills the screen but that space keeps there. When I right click it, I get the dialog I would get if I simply right clicked my desktop. How can I delete this panel and reclaim the lost screen space? | 21:42 |
| ilovefairuz | mustafa: should be next to the wireless button | 21:42 |
| Wormfall | henkpoley: I am in the GNU Grub menu.. | 21:43 |

| Wormfall | henkpoley: alright give me one second | 21:43 |
| === Guest39869 is now known as whyme | ||
| henkpoley | Wormfall: then go to the line that starts with "/boot/vmlinuz-" and press e | 21:43 |
| ilovefairuz | jessica56: you can try resetting the router, but you'll have to contact the customer support to get the correct settings | 21:43 |

| jessica56 | Oh I dont need to install Ubuntu.. I just want to burn an iso imaGE ... | 21:44 |
| ilovefairuz | gabriel: is there's an SSH server running on the windows machine? | 21:45 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall: then add "noacpi" (no quotes) somewhere in there, at the end is fine I believe. Hit enter, and press b to boot with these options | 21:45 |

| gabriel | Whats the difference between sharing files over a network and ssh? | 21:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | denverdave, see if you can move your current /etc/X11/xorg.conf to a different name, then see if you can boot using the opensource driver again. | 21:51 |
| imaginativeone | Would someone help me to fix my system? | 21:51 |
| red2kic | gabriel: ssh are not designed for sharing files. It allows you to run commands on remote computer. | 21:51 |
| imaginativeone | It hangs | 21:51 |
| imaginativeone | Indefinitely | 21:52 |
| denverdave | ZykoticK9 ok le me try that.. brb | 21:52 |
| gabriel | then what is the most secured way to share files over a network? | 21:52 |
| red2kic | gabriel: Oh and you could share files too, I suppose. I forget about "Connect To Server" option. | 21:52 |
| panzi | are there ubuntu images you can "install" on a netbook per dd? | 21:52 |
| Preludelinux | ssh using scp works great for file transfers plus there encrypted | 21:52 |
| ZykoticK9 | gabriel, you can actually use ssh to share file! | 21:52 |
| Wormfall | henkley: i selected the kernel and put noacpi nolapci and still nothing | 21:52 |
| ilovefairuz | Uhmm: screenshot the router settings page | 21:52 |
| Wormfall | after the quiet splash line | 21:53 |
| yeremey | hello all | 21:53 |
| imaginativeone | I already removed the CMOS battery and put it back | 21:53 |
| denverdave | ZykoticK9 um I do not have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file | 21:53 |
| katoen | gabriel: /n | 21:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | gabriel, for Gnome clients - Places / connect to Server / select SSH and enter the details - easier then Samba/NFS really | 21:53 |
| gabriel | thats what I want to do, but when I try to ssh to my windows xp machine it says that port 22 refused to connect | 21:53 |
| katoen | gabriel: nevermind that :P | 21:53 |
| brontosaurusrex | ZykoticK9: yes, but transparent work seems to be only possible with ubuntu to ubuntu | 21:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | denverdave, then you're still using opensource driver then | 21:53 |
| Preludelinux | windows dont have an ssh server running on it .... | 21:53 |
| katoen | one could run sshd in cygwin | 21:53 |
| Preludelinux | yeah thats possible | 21:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | denverdave, you could try "sudo nvidia-xconfig" and restart to see if the proprietary driver would work (oppose of removing xorg.conf) | 21:54 |
| whyme | only one computer needs the server, so you could install the server in linux and only use client in Windows | 21:54 |
| denverdave | ZykoticK9 roger that trying now | 21:54 |
| Changey | dit u allow 22 tcp on wndows machine? | 21:54 |
| gabriel | I would like to share files over the network but with a password for more security | 21:54 |
| ilovefairuz | !hi | yeremey | 21:54 |
| ubottu | yeremey: 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! | 21:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | brontosaurusrex, sorry i don't understand your statement really? | 21:54 |
| manhunter | hi | 21:55 |
| squarebracket | so i upgraded from 9.10, how can i get that social bar thingy? | 21:55 |
| brontosaurusrex | ZykoticK9: well try to watch a film over ssh on mac (server is ubuntu) | 21:55 |
| sheepz | why is it that there's a UUID field in fstab? | 21:55 |
| Dr_Willis | gabriel: sshing TO a windows machine? You installed a ssh server? | 21:55 |
| switch10_ | squarebracket: sudo apt-get install gwibber | 21:55 |
| ilovefairuz | Preludelinux: katoen: gabriel: windows DOES have native ssh servers, please ask in ##windows for guidance | 21:56 |
| denverdave | ZykoticK9 cant find nvidi-config just did a find from / | 21:56 |
| gabriel | Dr_Willis> thats the part I dont understand | 21:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | brontosaurusrex, ummm, portability of SSH may be an issue - but that's the other OS's fault! ssh is open source, they could build proper support if they wanted too! | 21:56 |
| brontosaurusrex | ZykoticK9: yes thats true of course | 21:56 |
| sheepz | there's ssh for cygwin :P | 21:56 |
| Dr_Willis | gabriel: what part? if you are sshing to an OS. it needs a ssh server.. now what you are going to DO once you ssh intop a windowes box.. ive no idea. | 21:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | denverdave, if you typed "nvidia-xconfig" and it wasn't there, then you don't have to propritary drivers installed. | 21:56 |
| squarebracket | is 10.04 using usplash or something else? | 21:56 |
| gabriel | I would like to share files on the network but with password protection | 21:56 |
| Dr_Willis | squarebracket: its using Plymouth | 21:56 |
| Dr_Willis | gabriel: samba and the windows share system can do that | 21:57 |
| sheepz | is it safe to remove this field from /etc/fstab UUID=ntfs /media/sda1 ntfs-3g users 0 0 | 21:57 |
| gabriel | How do I password protect with samba? | 21:57 |
| denverdave | gabriel run smbpasswd as user or as root to set a password for a user | 21:57 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall: I believe it's "noacpi nolapic" (different order acpi <- and -> apic) | 21:57 |
| brontosaurusrex | gabriel: make linux box the server and win boxes the clients, easy way to access is using filezilla client on windows for example, or that scp thingy | 21:57 |
| Dr_Willis | gabriel: check the windows docs/help for 'shares' if you want a share thats protecxted on a windows machine. | 21:57 |
| squarebracket | Dr_Willis, is there any sort of config i can edit? | 21:58 |
| ilovefairuz | sheepz: that will make the partition not mounted at boot, you'll have to mount it manually after you log in | 21:58 |
| denverdave | ZykoticK9 installing proprietary nvidia driver now | 21:58 |
| sheepz | ilovefairuz: ok, thought so | 21:58 |
| Dr_Willis | squarebracket: its a pain to alter plymouth. | 21:58 |
| brontosaurusrex | gabriel: talking about ssh, or setup samba if you need better transparency from win side | 21:58 |
| sheepz | ilovefairuz: but if I create fstab entry do I need to include an UUID? | 21:58 |
| Wormfall | henkpoley: after i type that in after the quiet splash what should I press to save the file | 21:58 |
| erik14213us | hi all | 21:59 |
| frxstrem | is Ubuntu (and other Linux distros) backwards-compatible when it comes to software, so that I can use a program designed for Linux 15 years ago in Ubuntu 10.4? (theoretically speaking) | 21:59 |
| whyme | sheepz: no, you don't. | 21:59 |
| Wormfall | i see press ctrl-x to boot, but this doens't save it | 21:59 |
| squarebracket | Dr_Willis, no simple config file or anything? i'm using ubuntu-studio, and something seems to be off with the resolution it picks (or something) | 21:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | sheenobu, you "should" but the old /dev/sdX# will still work | 21:59 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall: hit enter, then press 'b' when you are at the list again | 21:59 |
| gabriel | ok, Thanks a lot for the help, Thanks everyone that helped me | 21:59 |
| ilovefairuz | sheepz: you don't have to but it's more fault tolerant | 21:59 |
| sheepz | currently ubuntu prompts me with a screen that the ntfs partion could not be automatically mounted | 21:59 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall: this is not saved at all, it is just an overrider | 21:59 |
| erik14213us | i still have had no success in editing grub | 21:59 |
| Dr_Willis | frxstrem: in theory yes.. but theres proberly going to be issues if you dont recompile it. (ie just have a binary) | 21:59 |
| DocPlatypus | frxstrem: *sometimes* you can run older software written for Unix or a GNU variant in something modern. it depends on the libraries used etc. | 21:59 |
| haarp_ | hi all. , i can just connect to internet with my cable , my wireless it not working with my 10.04 ...what can be the problem? | 21:59 |

| frxstrem | Dr_Willis, DocPlatypus: ok, thanks | 22:00 |
| ilovefairuz | haarp_: do you see any wireless networks listed? | 22:00 |
| DocPlatypus | frxstrem: also as Dr_Willis said it *really* helps to have source code and recompile. | 22:00 |

| Wormfall | henkpoley: It is stating press ctrl-x to boot, should i just do that | 22:01 |
| ilovefairuz | haarp_: also check system > administration > hardware drivers | 22:01 |
| haarp_ | ok | 22:01 |

| Dr_Willis | Guest: if the command is 'patch' just type it on the terminal and it should say what package is needed, | 22:10 |
| thune3 | nico_: are you trying to change the password to <blank>? that sound like the error. | 22:10 |
| erik14213us | that means shitting down | 22:10 |
| haarp_ | ilovefairuz , i checked all the forums about the problem.. they are mentioning ndiswrapper.. i also installed it., and the last chance i came here. | 22:10 |
| haresh | hello | 22:10 |
| erik14213us | an reinstalling 10.04 | 22:10 |
| Guest | Dr_Willis: I'm using slicehost, and the version of ubuntu installed doesn't do that for me. | 22:10 |
| Gnea | what? | 22:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | erik14213us, from the main menu, press F6 and highlight then press enter on NoACPI and noapic - then select try again | 22:11 |
| Gnea | !language | 22:11 |
| ubottu | Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 22:11 |
| Gnea | erik14213us: I realize you meant 'shutting down', but please, be careful | 22:11 |
| erik14213us | is this with gnome running | 22:11 |
| mrman208 | Hi | 22:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest: no idea what slicehost is.. You could install whatever packatge does that job. bnut i dont know what that is either. or just try apt-cache search patch | 22:11 |
| Gnea | ZykoticK9: that's assuming quite a bit | 22:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | erik14213us, i though you couldn't get to gnome? | 22:11 |
| erik14213us | i cant | 22:11 |
| haresh | guys need some help in installing my grafix card | 22:11 |
| erik14213us | im only asking question | 22:11 |
| Dr_Willis | !find patch | 22:12 |
| ubottu | Found: dpatch, patch, patchutils, speech-dispatcher, bsdiff (and 25 others) | 22:12 |
| Gnea | erik14213us: if you want an answer, you need to answer our questions. | 22:12 |
| Guest | ok thanks! :) | 22:12 |
| ZykoticK9 | erik14213us, so from LiveCD try the various boot options with the F6 key, good luck man. | 22:12 |
| Gnea | that's how the troubleshooting process works. | 22:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest: seems its called 'patch' :) | 22:12 |
| erik14213us | ok | 22:12 |
| mrman208 | IRC is crazy :P | 22:12 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall: recovery mode from Grub works huh ? | 22:12 |
| Dr_Willis | mrman208: it is? Never noticed. | 22:12 |
| erik14213us | i mean once i install it | 22:12 |
| ilovefairuz | haarp_: pastebin /var/log/messages | 22:12 |
| Gnea | erik14213us: are you in windows? | 22:13 |
| Guest | Dr_Willis: yeah i thought patch was so basic that it wouldn't be in apt-get, i was surprised it wasn't installed by default | 22:13 |
| mrman208 | Dr_Willis: Well, here it is, so many q/a conversations going on at once xD | 22:13 |
| squarebracket | ah! indicator applet icons are huge now!! how do i undo? | 22:13 |
| Wormfall | henkpoley: I can boot into recovery mode with no problem | 22:13 |
| haarp_ | ilovefairuz , ok | 22:13 |
| erik14213us | does 10.04 have more boot options than 9.10 | 22:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest: why would it be installed by default. :) the compiler and stuff are not default either.. | 22:13 |
| erik14213us | no | 22:13 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall: but that only gives you a command prompt isn't it ? | 22:13 |
| erik14213us | im on xubuntu 9.04 | 22:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest: build-essential may pull it in. I never uinstalled it manually. | 22:13 |
| Iceman_B | when I want to use an HDD with an encrypted home folder in another Ubuntu system, how do I get to my files ? | 22:13 |
| Guest | Dr_Willis: yeah that surprised me too :) well i'm a ubuntu noob, thanks for the help | 22:13 |
| Gnea | erik14213us: boot options are pretty much all the same. it's just a matter of doing it. | 22:13 |
| mrman208 | !apt-get | 22:13 |
| ubottu | APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 22:14 |
| Wormfall | henkpoley: it gives me resume clean, dpkg, failsefX, feuv, netroor, root | 22:14 |
| Gnea | erik14213us: what are your system specs? cpu/ram/etc? | 22:14 |
| Wormfall | henkpoley: those are my options | 22:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest: Only so much can fit ion a 700mb cd.. | 22:14 |
| haarp_ | ilovefairuz , http://pastebin.com/4uWkXgQj | 22:14 |
| erik14213us | 2.8 ghz 1 gig ram | 22:14 |
| erik14213us | intel | 22:14 |
| Gnea | ok | 22:14 |
| enix316 | i have an internal blu ray/ hd dvd player in my windowz box. does anyone have similar and run ubuntu 10.04 ok? | 22:14 |
| ilovefairuz | haarp_: paste all the file | 22:15 |
| erik14213us | someone said i needed to edit grub | 22:15 |
| haarp_ | ok | 22:15 |
| Gnea | erik14213us: yeah, try reinstalling 10.04, then see if the problem reproduces. if it does, come back and ask again. | 22:15 |
| Dr_Willis | enix316: You mean 'watch blueray movies in ubuntu' ? ubuntu should run on a system with blieray with no oproblems. | 22:15 |
| Gnea | erik14213us: it's really impossible to tell you what the problem is when it's not installed. | 22:15 |
| erik14213us | i can tell u exactly wat happens | 22:15 |
| Gnea | it doesn't matter. | 22:15 |
| erik14213us | on startup | 22:15 |
| Gnea | nope | 22:15 |
| Gnea | that doesn't count | 22:15 |
| erik14213us | i see the logo | 22:16 |
| Gnea | need to know what dmesg says | 22:16 |
| Gnea | you don't have that. | 22:16 |
| erik14213us | then monitor goes bl;ank | 22:16 |
| Gnea | yeah | 22:16 |
| Gnea | and then nothing happens, i know | 22:16 |
| Gnea | seen it | 22:16 |
| FloodBot2 | Gnea: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:16 |
| haarp_ | ilovefairuz , how can select all the sentences in terminal? i can not select all. | 22:16 |
| Wormfall | henkpoley: even if i run in failsafex mode it still wont work.. the problem is when ubuntu is starting :( | 22:16 |
| erik14213us | so whats the point of reinstalling | 22:16 |
| Gnea | erik14213us: you'll just need to reinstall and then turn on verbosity on-boot | 22:16 |
| ilovefairuz | haarp_: sudo pastebinit /var/log/messages | 22:16 |
| haarp_ | ok | 22:17 |
| enix316 | Dr_Willis: just curious if harware is compatable, google is not returing good results | 22:17 |
| Gnea | to see what the real problem is | 22:17 |
| haresh | guys need some help in installing my grafix card | 22:17 |
| Gnea | otherwise, stick with xubuntu | 22:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | enix316, i'm sure the drive will work (test with a LiveCD), not sure about the HD/BR stuff (check out support with mplayer) - also see the !restricted factoid for any pointers. good luck man. | 22:17 |
| ilovefairuz | !details | haresh | 22:17 |
| ubottu | haresh: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 22:17 |
| erik14213us | how do u turn on verbosity | 22:17 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall: personally I would drop to a root shell, and use `aptitude update` and then `aptitude safe-upgrade` to update everything to latest versions. | 22:17 |
| Gnea | remove 'quiet splash' from the bootup sequence | 22:17 |
| erik14213us | how do i do that | 22:17 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall: I expect that would be the 'root' option | 22:17 |
| Gnea | erik14213us: try it with your xubuntu | 22:17 |
| haarp_ | ilovefairuz , http://pastebin.com/7sh5NWYT | 22:18 |
| mrman208 | Is this related to ubuntu? I wan't to install Ubuntu on a 4GB USB pen drive, created with a Mac, and boot my mac to the USB Drive. When I install on the flash drive and hold option on Mac startup it only shows the main hard drive. | 22:18 |
| thune3 | erik14213us: what video chip do you have "lspci | grep VGA", http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/05/06/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup-workaround/ or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes may be relevant depending | 22:18 |
| Gnea | erik14213us: okay, when you turn on the computer, it goes through POST, then it boots xubuntu, right? | 22:18 |
| Dr_Willis | enix316: its a sata opticel drive.. should be rather standard.. for data ussage at least. | 22:18 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall: do you have you laptop plugged in with a network cable ? | 22:18 |
| erik14213us | yes | 22:18 |
| Dynetrekk | hi, how can I set rtorrent's upload "throttle" to 0 kb/s? | 22:18 |
| Wormfall | henkpoley: Yea | 22:18 |
| Gnea | erik14213us: okay, well there's a small amount of time for you to press ESC (it should say so on the screen) - that's when you can edit it | 22:18 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall: whew, no way I would be going to guide you through configuring wireless on the command prompt :P | 22:18 |
| aeon-ltd | erik14213us: dlete the options in /etc/default/grub | 22:19 |

| ZykoticK9 | haresh, are you using nvidia? | 22:22 |
| ilovefairuz | haresh: it means a program is crashing with no error, pastebin: lshw -C display | 22:23 |

| henkpoley | Wormfall: what does `ls /etc/X11/x*` say ? | 22:25 |

| floating | ilovefairuz: hmm that didn't stay there though.. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH.. when relogin | 22:27 |

| henkpoley | Wormfall: but are you back at the command prompt ? | 22:28 |
| mrman208 | Oer: on, correct | 22:28 |

| aristo | JohninLex, why | 22:33 |
| haarp_ | i ailovefairuz , i am on cable now.. how can i check the listed wireless networks? | 22:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | Anyone know how to add kernel parameters easily to 10.04? i'd love to through "text" in for denverdave | 22:33 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall: doh, try X instead of Xorg | 22:33 |
| JohninLex | or at least someone that knows about pcmcia devices, doesnt think there old videos cards | 22:33 |
| agib | does anyone know how I can automate the installation of java? i.e. if I'm setting up a server with chef and I have `package "sun-java6-jre"` will it get stuck on the DLJ license? | 22:33 |
| ritztech | for the life of me i cant remember CLI verion to view a web page | 22:33 |
| UmlautBanana | So I have a linksys router, and internet doesn't work on Ubuntu 9.10 or 10.04. I think I need a driver of some sort, but I don't know where to get it. | 22:33 |
| ilovefairuz | haresh: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/300304/comments/16 | 22:33 |

| henkpoley | Wormfall, so: `X -config /root/xorg.conf.new` | 22:33 |
| haarp_ | ilovefairuz , i am on cable now.. how can i check the listed wireless networks? | 22:34 |
| mrman208 | Oer: I don't think that will work. I want to use the USB drive and boot to it on the Mac | 22:34 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall: and it's "hibernating" again ? | 22:34 |
| henkpoley | 22:34 | |
| ilovefairuz | haarp_: iwlist wlan0 scan | 22:34 |
| haarp_ | ok | 22:34 |
| mrman208 | Oer: That one has it booting on a Non-Mac | 22:34 |
| Wormfall | henkpoley: no, not hibernating... everything seems normal just no picture | 22:34 |
| JohninLex | Scunizi: and aristo you see why now | 22:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | agib, you need to take adding the partner repo as well (possibly) good luck [i've heard others ask the same question for automation purposes, don't recall an answer] | 22:34 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall: no mouse even ? | 22:34 |
| Oer | mrman208, sorry, then you have to burn the cd | 22:34 |
| haarp_ | ilovefairuz , wlan0 No scan results | 22:34 |
| Scunizi | JohninLex: you using that for internet access? is it pcmcia to ethernet? or ?? | 22:34 |
| haarp_ | :/ | 22:34 |
| denverdave | ZykoticK9 ok got grub menu up.. goig to boot to recovery mode yes? | 22:34 |
| agib | ZykoticK9: think it's possible? | 22:34 |
| Wormfall | henkpoley: I can't see anything.. its as if the screen is off.. \ | 22:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | denverdave, sure | 22:35 |
| Oer | i do not own a mac, just knew these helppages | 22:35 |
| wildeja | bye | 22:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | agib, i doubt it - but i'm a pessimist ;) | 22:35 |
| JohninLex | Scunizi: yea but not wireless, 10mbps card | 22:35 |
| mrman208 | Oer: I have a CD, but When I install to the drive and hold option on startup, it does not show the USB drive as a bootable option. Only the main hard drive | 22:35 |
| denverdave | ZykoticK9 now booting into failsafe graphic mode | 22:35 |
| Scunizi | JohninLex: is the system just not recognizing it? | 22:35 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall: Try hitting Ctrl-Alt-Backspace | 22:35 |

| Scunizi | JohninLex: are you cli only or do you have a gui? | 22:37 |
| JohninLex | Scunizi: and I am just playing with Ubuntu 5.04 on and older toshiba 320cdt | 22:37 |
| frxstrem | are there any good XML/(X)HTML editors for Ubuntu? | 22:37 |
| denverdave | ZykoticK9 I see ilovefairuz gave that command already will run it | 22:37 |
| haarp_ | ilovefairuz , just libc6 .. it's upgragind now;. | 22:37 |
| Wormfall | henkpoley: seems as if some stuff started.. and it tried to do something but then it just stopped | 22:37 |
| JohninLex | Scunizi: I am just cli only right now | 22:37 |
| ilovefairuz | haarp_: are you on 64bit? if so check http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9530415&postcount=2 | 22:38 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall: are you back at the command prompt ? | 22:38 |
| Scunizi | JohninLex: ah.. wow.. I think I still have my iso from that release.. let's see. .. hang on a sec | 22:38 |
| Wormfall | henkpoley: last lie is (II) [KMS] kernel modesetting eneabled. | 22:38 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall: else, hit Ctrl-C | 22:38 |
| haarp_ | ilovefairuz , yeah i am on 64bit Ubuntu. ok ill check. | 22:38 |
| JohninLex | aristo: and I am just playing with Ubuntu 5.04 on and older toshiba 320cdt | 22:38 |
| Wormfall | im there now | 22:38 |
| aristo | JonhinLex, wow you want to feel pain ^^ | 22:38 |
| wmcinnis | anyone have a fix for flash | 22:39 |
| JohninLex | Scunizi: I am a vintage laptop collector and I fine what OS will work on them, and that is it boo for me | 22:39 |
| denverdave | ZykoticK9 ok running upgrade after update this may take a few | 22:39 |
| Wormfall | henkpoley: back at the command prompt | 22:39 |
| wmcinnis | when in full screen its slow... | 22:39 |
| aristo | wmcinnis, what do you mean? | 22:39 |
| ilovefairuz | haarp_: reboot after you install | 22:39 |
| mrman208 | anyone have any ideas? | 22:39 |
| haarp_ | ilovefairuz , ok. | 22:39 |
| wmcinnis | aristo, when in full screen its choppy and slow | 22:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | denverdave, you might want to just restart after the updates are completed to see if it resolved the issue... | 22:39 |
| SimonP86 | hello, I have a 64-bit program which requires a library located in my /usr/local/lib dir. When I try to run the program I get the following error message: "error while loading shared libraries: libantlr3c.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". I've checked in the /etc/ld.so.conf.d dir and the libc_conf file contains the line "/usr/local/lib" so I don't understand how it can't find the shared library? | 22:40 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall: try `less /var/log/Xorg.0.log` | 22:40 |
| denverdave | ZykoticK9 good idea.. will do so and then report back | 22:40 |
| Scunizi | JohninLex: I play with this so rarely I"ve forgotten most of it.. /etc/resolv.conf has some settings if it is in the 5.04 release and there is another .conf file that lists IP, network card etc.. ifconfig will give you stats and more info | 22:40 |
| aristo | wmcinnis, it depends if you are using some via gpu you are doomed, if using nvidia propietary drivers try deactivatig hardware accel in flash player options | 22:40 |
| ilovefairuz | mrman208: how did you install to the drive? | 22:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | SimonP86, is the program looking for the 32bit or 64bit library? | 22:40 |
| wmcinnis | aristo, where do i do that | 22:40 |
| twobitsprite | so, I'm running ubuntu, but I installed the kubuntu desktop. When I log out, and then log in with KDE, my wireless network doesn't come up... am I missing like a KDE version of the network manager thing or something? | 22:40 |
| SimonP86 | 64bit | 22:40 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall: go to the end and look for Errors (usually marked with [EE] and [WW] or "error" and "warning", "fail"..) | 22:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | SimonP86, sorry you started with that. good luck. | 22:41 |
| wmcinnis | aristo, i have the nvidia ion | 22:41 |
| Wormfall | henkpoley: A lot of information came up.. not sure what I am looking for | 22:41 |
| Scunizi | JohninLex: in /etc/network is "interfaces".. look there too. | 22:41 |
| mrman208 | ilovefairuz: First, I erased it with Disk Utility on the Mac. The installed to it using the whole disk and installed the bootloader on the USB. | 22:41 |
| mrman208 | *Then | 22:41 |
| aguitel | twobitsprite, in kde network manager get bug | 22:41 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall: you can search around within a file in `less` by hitting / and then entering the word you are looking for | 22:41 |
| agib | ZykoticK9: going to try openjdk-6-jre :) | 22:41 |
| ilovefairuz | !usb | mrman208 | 22:42 |
| ubottu | mrman208: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 22:42 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall: so /error[enter] for example | 22:42 |
| aristo | wmcinnis, which driver are you using? | 22:42 |
| twobitsprite | aguitel: you mean, there is a bug in the kde network manager? or are you telling me to get something called "bug"? | 22:42 |
| wmcinnis | the latest binary | 22:42 |
| JohninLex | I see a problem here Scunizi there bothe empty time to build some building thanks | 22:42 |
| Scunizi | JohninLex: the interfaces file will list which card to use, static or dhcp, auto connect, netmask, gateway etc.. | 22:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | agib, hope it works for you app! no silly license to accept ;) | 22:42 |
| agib | heh | 22:42 |
| agib | me too | 22:42 |
| agib | thank you | 22:42 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall: questionmark (so": ?) searches upwards | 22:42 |
| wildeja | Hello again, Would anyone happen to know why every time i try to install a package from the repos i get told that the package cannot be authenticated please | 22:42 |
| mrman208 | ilovefairuz: But that's the thing, I am not trying to install FROM a USB drive, I am trying to install TO it and boot from the USB on a Mac | 22:42 |
| aguitel | twobitsprite, there is a bug in the kde network manager | 22:43 |
| SimonP86 | ZykoticK9: I've made a workaround by adding the line "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib" to ~.bashrc | 22:43 |
| twobitsprite | aguitel: is there a workaround? | 22:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | SimonP86, nice! well done man. | 22:43 |
| mrman208 | ilovefairuz: Wait, nvm, just read the last part :P | 22:43 |
| owen1 | i wanted to convert a friend with macbookpro to ubuntu. i chose to 'run ubuntu without installing' from the menu but nothing happend. we waited for 10 minutes but the screen remained black. please help lost soul switch to ubuntu! | 22:43 |
| ilovefairuz | wildeja: what repo? standard repo? sudo apt-get update and see if there are any errors | 22:43 |
| aguitel | twobitsprite, try to use nm-applet from gnome | 22:43 |
| wildeja | ilovefairuz, on it, | 22:43 |
| Dr_Willis | owen1: totally depends on the video card/chipset | 22:43 |
| owen1 | Dr_Willis: let me google for macbookpro 5.1 | 22:44 |
| pagan0ne | ok, i managed to hose my xorg.conf file, and x hangs on boot... i have a bluetooth keyboard, and the when i boot into init1 it drops me to a prompt, at that prompt bluetooth has not yet been initilaized, and the kernel had been handed control of the keyboard so i can not make a selection, is there anyway to boot directly into shell w/o any weird help menus on the way? | 22:44 |
| Dr_Willis | owen1: ive noticed the live cd - can be VERY slow at tiomes to boot up also | 22:44 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall: just have a good look around for anything that tells you it is having a problem. It's free form, basically the driver programmer can write there whatever he wants. | 22:44 |
| twobitsprite | aguitel: where do I find that? aptitude doesn't recognize that name | 22:44 |
| wildeja | ilovefairuz, worked fine, last line said "Fetched 138kB in 8s (15.5kB/s)" | 22:44 |
| SimonP86 | ZykoticK9: can I just add the line "/usr/local/lib" to x86_64-linux-gnu.conf? | 22:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | pagan0ne, hope you have a usb keyboard handy (man that's a chicken-n-egg / catch 22 type situation, good luck) | 22:45 |
| Wormfall_ | henkpoley: input is not a pipe (press return) | 22:45 |
| aguitel | twobitsprite, you have gnome to? | 22:45 |
| ilovefairuz | wildeja: what ubuntu version are you running and what package are you trying to install ? | 22:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | SimonP86, not sure | 22:45 |
| SumoJim_ | Hello, I have just booted the latest 32bit live CD onto my laptop. It shows the Ubuntu logo along with the little progress dots... Once that screen finishes the screen goes black and nothing else happens. (There isn't even a flashing cursor.) | 22:45 |
| twobitsprite | aguitel: yep | 22:45 |
| === trineox is now known as rootcop | ||
| SumoJim_ | This laptop is from 2005 and has run many previous versions of Ubuntu without a problem. | 22:45 |
| pagan0ne | ZykoticK9, i dont however @ grub my keyboard works as a normal usb keyboard because kernel has not been passed control, i tried setting 1 after the kernel line, but it boots into a txt menu asking me to select which i cant | 22:46 |
| SumoJim_ | Has anyone else experienced something like this? | 22:46 |
| aguitel | twobitsprite, alt+f2:and type :nm-applet | 22:46 |
| wildeja | ilovefairuz, Ubuntu 10.04 AMD64 Desktop, Any package dose the same, i have to install everything through cli to get the option to 'install anyway(y/n)' | 22:46 |
| Wormfall_ | henkpoly: how do I get out of this log file | 22:46 |
| aristo | aguitel @debian-es too? | 22:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | SumoJim_, my suggestion is at the first text menu, to press F6 then turn off ACPI but pressing enter on it to select it. Then try LiveCD option again, if you want to install you can from inside Live Environment. good luck. | 22:46 |
| pagan0ne | ZykoticK9, i would ssh into the box but apparently sshd is loaded after x which doesnt make any sense to set it up that way! | 22:46 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall_: is that in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file, or by less itself ? | 22:46 |
| wildeja | ilovefairuz, VLC, gcompris, everything :) | 22:46 |
| Wormfall_ | henkpoley: in the file | 22:47 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall_: you can quit less by pressing 'q' | 22:47 |
| aguitel | aristo, i am now with ubuntu | 22:47 |
| Wormfall_ | alright im back at the root command prompt | 22:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | pagan0ne, actually ssh should be loaded before X, but are you using wireless? could be nm-applet hasn't run. | 22:47 |
| aguitel | aristo, in my laptop | 22:47 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall_: personally I would expect it having problem with choosing the right "modeline", or choosing something that is far too big for your lcd | 22:47 |
| pagan0ne | ZykoticK9, no im not using wireless | 22:47 |
| Wormfall_ | henkpoley: i ran the grep DEriver /root/xorg.conf.new command again and radeon is still there | 22:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | pagan0ne, then ssh should be running. | 22:47 |
| ilovefairuz | wildbat: choose another mirror in "source sources" | 22:48 |
| Wormfall_ | henkpoley: should I install notebook instead of desktop for my laptop?\ | 22:48 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall_: the info why it doesn't work should be in the log file | 22:48 |
| ilovefairuz | wildbat: then "reload" | 22:48 |
| pagan0ne | ZykoticK9, the host is unreachable via anything, it appears networking wont even come up till after x has loaded, could it be because network-manager manages all this? | 22:48 |
| SumoJim_ | ZykotickK98, is ACPI a BIOS option? | 22:48 |
| x86br | i got mine wireless card working out of box on ubuntu 10. But for some reason, the wificard dont search any hotspot | 22:48 |
| aristo | aguitel, ubuntu on desktop pc, debian VMs for network services | 22:48 |
| x86br | what i need do? | 22:48 |
| pil | is it possible to change ae user without logoff? | 22:48 |
| wildeja | ilovefairuz, sorry? I don't understand "sources sources" | 22:48 |
| ZykoticK9 | SumoJim_, no a boot option | 22:48 |
| ZykoticK9 | !tab > SumoJim_ | 22:48 |
| ubottu | SumoJim_, please see my private message | 22:48 |
| ilovefairuz | wildeja: from synaptic | 22:48 |
| Wormfall_ | henkpoley: I only have two WW (warnings) that say /usr/share/fonts/x11/cyrillic - does not exist | 22:48 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall_: as far as I know the netbook version mostly has a different desktop manager, no differences in drivers. | 22:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | henkpoley, correct | 22:49 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall_: fonts come and go, not important | 22:49 |
| wildeja | ilovefairuz, ahh light dawns, i'll go try now | 22:49 |
| Wormfall_ | henkpoley: hmm so the problem is that we can not isntall the radeon drivers? | 22:49 |
| x86br | so, no one? | 22:49 |
| henkpoley | you do have the radeon driver, else you would not have a black screen even | 22:50 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall_: can you find out ( nearish to the end) what resolution it chooses ? | 22:50 |

| Guest98482 | hi | 22:51 |
| nico_ | please can anyone tell me how to fix this password problem? | 22:51 |
| Oer | pil yes, only if the user is not active. | 22:51 |
| henkpoley | pil: yes, if your desktop manager (say: gnome) is compatible with your login manager (say GDM) | 22:51 |
| brontosaurusrex | pil: in terminal i think 'su someotheruser' | 22:51 |
| Wormfall_ | henkpoley: i do see Monitor "Monitor0" and Device "Card0" | 22:51 |
| uRock | nico, what is the password problem? | 22:52 |
| ZykoticK9 | SumoJim_, first menu of livecd is text based - asks LiveCD or Install - press F6 to get "kernel options", enter to select them. | 22:52 |

| henkpoley | It usually says "Modeline: blah blah" | 22:52 |
| uRock | nico_, what is the password problem? | 22:52 |
| SumoJim_ | ZykoticK9: I tried redownloading and making a new CD in case there was some issue with my copy too. | 22:53 |
| nico_ | urock: it says that there is "no password supplied" when i try to change the password in this computer i am repairing | 22:53 |
| Wormfall_ | henkpoley: not on the screen there might be some moer information i just don't know how to continue nfor more | 22:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | SumoJim_, strange. Afraid I don't have any other suggestions. Good luck man. | 22:53 |
| Wormfall_ | henkpoley: i do see "allowemptyinput is on" | 22:53 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall_: you can use up and down keys | 22:53 |
| denverdave | ZykoticK9 ok updated and that did fix issue. I saw GPU lockup just fore the screen went to black/white blocks | 22:53 |
| SumoJim_ | ZykoticK9: Alright, I'll try to just use a previous version of Ubuntu that I know to work then. Thanks. | 22:53 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall_: also [Enter] works, and page up/down too I believe | 22:53 |
| denverdave | ZykoticK9 correction did not | 22:53 |
| owen1 | Dr_Willis: Nvidia GeForce 9400M | 22:54 |

| Iceman_B | when I install an hdd with an Ubuntu system + my files into another system which boots from another hdd, whats the quickest way to strip the old OS from the freshly added HDD ? | 22:54 |

| wildeja | ilovefairuz, done | 22:56 |
| SumoJim_ | ZykoticK9: Yup, Ubuntu 9.10 booted straight to live CD menu.... Strange. I'm suprised I'm the only one with this problem. | 22:56 |
| Wormfall_ | henkpoley: under radeon driver for ATI radeon chipset i do see ati radeon 9000 ig \ | 22:56 |
| ilovefairuz | wildeja: url? | 22:56 |
| XunZi_ | what is the command to launch the disk management utility? | 22:56 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall_: well, sometimes the devices are so similar that the driver just reports one of the names | 22:56 |
| Wormfall_ | henkpoley: i do see a lot of information nfor Radeon(0) assuming that is the default installed file | 22:57 |
| wildeja | ilovefairuz, Where shall i put it? | 22:57 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall_: "default installed file" odd phrasing :P | 22:57 |
| wildeja | ilovefairuz, Pastebiun? | 22:57 |
| wildeja | pastebin? lol | 22:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | denverdave, have you tried installing the nvidia driver? | 22:57 |

| denverdave | yet | 22:58 |

| ZykoticK9 | denverdave, i'd try current first "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current" | 22:58 |
| denverdave | ZykoticK9 ok one min | 22:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | denverdave, after install you need to reboot, as it's a kernel module. | 22:58 |

| denverdave | ZykoticK9 roger that reboot | 22:59 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall_: does it tell anything about displays it finds ? | 22:59 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall_: like the terms LVDS or TMDS | 22:59 |
| ilovefairuz | wildeja: you can change the mirror manually: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list | 23:00 |
| wildeja | ilovefairuz, http://imagebin.org/108668 | 23:00 |
| Wormfall_ | henkpoly: output lvds has no monitor section | 23:01 |
| denverdave | ZykoticK9 OMG it came up to the desktop and did not freaking crash.. too freaking cool | 23:01 |
| Wormfall_ | henkpoly vga-0 using monitor section Monitor0\ | 23:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | denverdave, nice | 23:01 |
| denverdave | gota love cli | 23:01 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall_: not LVDS too ? | 23:01 |
| Wormfall_ | henkpoley: I do see modeline's but those are all the diferent resolutions and then down further towards the end output lvds using initial mode 1280x800 | 23:01 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall_: if so.. it tries to use the VGA output | 23:01 |
| denverdave | ZykoticK9 should I ever meet you.. the drinks are on me | 23:01 |
| Iceman_B | ilovefairuz: when I copy files over SSHFS, will the permissions/ownerships change? if so, how ? | 23:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | denverdave, ;) | 23:02 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall_: is that correct 1280x800 ? | 23:02 |
| Wormfall_ | henkpoley: nope, usually run 1024x800 | 23:02 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall_: do you have a screen to attach so we can test if it thinks the VGA port is the primary display ? | 23:03 |
| Wormfall_ | henkpoley: I have to go please add me on msn @ thefly_123@hotmail.com or I will be back in this chat in rougly two to three hours | 23:03 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall_: I'll be asleep then, damn Europeans huh :P | 23:03 |
| ilovefairuz | Iceman_B: they will be own by the user who fetched them | 23:04 |
| Iceman_B | ok | 23:04 |
| Wormfall_ | henkpoley: I will then catch you maybe tomorrow.. thanks a lot! | 23:04 |
| henkpoley | Wormfall_: anyways, that VGA thing could be important, there are options to override it back to the internal LCD though | 23:04 |
| henkpoley | Ah missed him | 23:04 |
| nico_ | please anyone have any ideas? | 23:06 |

| nico_ | i was changing it through the about me in the system settings | 23:09 |
| nico_ | how u change in command line | 23:09 |
| wildeja | ilovefairuz, WOW!, all i can say is WOW!, Thank you so much, Problem soleved! | 23:09 |
| Dr_Willis | nico_: passwd command. | 23:10 |
| * Dr_Willis finds that 'me' menu to be rather problematic. | 23:10 | |
| ilovefairuz | wildeja: you're welcome | 23:10 |
| Dr_Willis | bbl. off to the store. | 23:10 |
| nico_ | dr_willis: in terminal do i type it just that way? | 23:11 |
| DIL | bring one back for me | 23:11 |
| aeon-ltd | nico_: yes | 23:11 |
| nico_ | that did not work | 23:12 |
| nico_ | it says command not found | 23:12 |
| aeon-ltd | nico_: did you make sure it wass 'passwd' its not a typo | 23:12 |
| nico_ | yes | 23:13 |
| aeon-ltd | nico_: just 'passwd' | 23:13 |
| aeon-ltd | nico_: who are you logged in as? | 23:13 |
| henkpoley | heh, you really should have passwd.. :p | 23:13 |
| Rolotony | Why does it take so long to resolve hosts in 10.4? | 23:14 |
| henkpoley | nico_: try /usr/bin/passwd | 23:14 |

| tripel-livecd | New Ubuntu installation: partitioning drive: only ubuntu on drive: ext3: how much space for / and /home then the rest /data --- can I have the system on disk sdb ? windows is now on sba but I am going to remove that drive sometimes. | 23:14 |
| Rolotony | even when using an Ethernet cable it takes like 2minutes to resolve any website | 23:14 |
| henkpoley | Rolotony: the routers on your network tell your system ipv6 is available, but it doesn't route to the internet. I guess that's your problem | 23:15 |
| Rolotony | and I'm using Open DNS | 23:15 |
| sigmab3ta | hey guys, i am trying to build something from source, ./configure --help lists some things at the end under "some influential environment variables", for example "LIBISOFS_LIBS", I would like to disable/enable some of those. how is that done? | 23:15 |
| Rolotony | oh my router supports ipv6 | 23:15 |
| maco | Rolotony: opendns has AAAA records | 23:15 |
| Rolotony | sweet | 23:15 |
| henkpoley | Rolotony: yes but does your ISP do that too ? | 23:15 |
| nico_ | thank you i got it changed. one more question how do you set up your video card and ensure the 3d is working? | 23:15 |
| tripel-livecd | I dont find the right information googling ubuntu hard drive allocation / /home | 23:15 |
| henkpoley | Rolotony: for mine I have to go through all kinds of hoops to use an ipv6 tunnel system that might have been a good idea in 2004 or so. | 23:16 |
| Chariblaze | If my new installation is telling me it's completing the installation on a BIOS type screen and has been like this for around two hours, should I just force a restart? | 23:16 |
| maco | tripel-livecd: by default ubuntu puts / and /home as all one partition because our installer has an option not to delete /home on reinstalls | 23:16 |
| tripel-livecd | How many gigs do I need for the Ubuntu OS partition. | 23:16 |
| aeon-ltd | tripel-livecd: whatever you like for / /home but for ubuntu an minimum of 8-10gb for / /home should be all remaining space | 23:16 |
| Rolotony | lol i don't have any options in my router for Ipv6 | 23:16 |
| maco | tripel-livecd: i generally go for 10GB / and the rest /home on normal installs to give them room to grow, but as a developer needing debugging, development, and documentation packages, 15GB is better | 23:16 |
| Cazzzzzzzzzzzo21 | it's nice for ubuntu related | 23:17 |
| Cazzzzzzzzzzzo21 | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBB8zTdY4NU I don't know | 23:17 |
| Cazzzzzzzzzzzo21 | how made it | 23:17 |

| tripel-livecd | maco, aeon I thought that / and /home were separate things ?? | 23:17 |
| maco | tripel-livecd: optionally | 23:17 |
| === qbert_ is now known as kazi | ||
| maco | tripel-livecd: you CAN put home on a separate partition, but you dont HAVE to | 23:17 |
| aeon-ltd | tripel-livecd: they are but everything can be put under / | 23:17 |
| tripel-livecd | maco thanks. I'll check on what I made. - new drive is 1Terabyte so I thought I should put them separate. | 23:18 |
| tripel-livecd | ly | 23:18 |
| maco | tripel-livecd: /home is just a directory under / ... you can choose to put it on a separate partition and mount that partition at /home if you want user data on a separate partition | 23:18 |
| henkpoley | Rolotony: you can disable ipv6 on ubuntu's side for now. Use the google to find out how. | 23:18 |
| Rolotony | It is disabled | 23:18 |
| aeon-ltd | tripel-livecd: its just nice to have /home so you can access it with different linux os partitions | 23:18 |
| Rolotony | thats the first thing i did | 23:18 |
| Iceman_B | how do I see the ID instead of the username owning a file/dir? | 23:19 |
| tripel-livecd | maco ok I would like a site/page to teach me so I have an allover understanding. Even a book reference. | 23:19 |
| Rolotony | so it can't be an ipv6 problem | 23:19 |
| henkpoley | Rolotony: ah well, then it's something different | 23:19 |
| henkpoley | ] | 23:19 |
| ritztech | whats the command to view a webpage Via linux CLI | 23:19 |
| maco | tripel-livecd: about the filesystem hierarchy standard? | 23:19 |
| maco | ritztech: w3m is the default text browser in ubuntu | 23:19 |
| tripel-livecd | aeon-ltd: explain that a little more. If I were to decide to play with fedora, couldnt I access it anyway? -- maco, I dont know what I dont know. But long ago and far away I used to be a programmer so I'd prefer a higher level thing, not a reference standard. ((thinking of the "definition of Pascal" all on one page diagram. Elegant but not the best teaching tool.)) | 23:21 |
| ritztech | you think i could bash with it .. hhaa | 23:21 |
| maco | tripel-livecd: there is a standard organisation for the system folderes in linux. thats the FHS | 23:21 |
| * tripel-livecd laffs at her conbination of experience and newness-dom. | 23:21 | |
| ilovefairuz | haarp_: which nick? | 23:21 |
| erUSUL | ritztech: w3m ? lynx ? links ? | 23:21 |
| maco | tripel-livecd: it includes things like "user data goes in /home/*/" | 23:21 |
| tripel-livecd | maco I'll google those words and see. | 23:22 |
| aeon-ltd | tripel-livecd: you could mount the whole partitio if you'd like but /home separately means you can reinstall on / without affecting /home think of it as a non-offshore backup of your personal files | 23:22 |
| maco | tripel-livecd: and /etc being for config files, /var/log being where logs go, /usr/bin/ being where binaries for user software are (their corresponding libraries in /usr/lib/...) | 23:22 |
| maco | aeon-ltd: its still the same disk. not much of a backup | 23:22 |
| maco | aeon-ltd: and its still only one copy | 23:23 |
| maco | aeon-ltd: plus, ubuntu's installer has an option that doesnt overwrite directories named "home" when you reinstall | 23:23 |
| tripel-livecd | thanks guys maco aeon-ltd because I am tired of asking questions and would like a deeper understanding. I've been at this install over a day on the partitioning a new disk end of things. | 23:23 |
| aeon-ltd | maco: really? wow ubuntu has changed alot since i used it | 23:23 |
| maco | aeon-ltd: in the manual install thing, you can choose to not format a partition before installing. that keeps /home | 23:24 |
| maco | aeon-ltd: er manual partition thing, i mean | 23:24 |
| ritztech | hmm is there a way to pull data from a perl query that was on a web page im trying the w3m | 23:25 |
| maco | ritztech: i suspect you want to learn to use curl magic | 23:26 |
| denverdave | ZykoticK9 and crew.. thanks.. I am up and running and now playing with installing apps and learning this interface.. cuz I will have to support Ubuntu at work soon | 23:26 |
| denverdave | later | 23:26 |
| ritztech | curl majic haha | 23:27 |
| erUSUL | ritztech: wget or curl if you d not wont to view it | 23:27 |
| maco | tripel-livecd: ps, you said "her"? do you know about the Ubuntu Women project? | 23:27 |
| maco | tripel-livecd: http://women.ubuntu.com | 23:27 |
| ritztech | well i want to view it but bash some output so its easier to view via CLI then web page | 23:27 |
| floating | friend is trying to get some libraries, but he has trouble getting it to the .bashrc... he tried export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the .bashrc, but his .bashrc is not executing | 23:28 |
| erUSUL | floating: putting . dot in a PATH variable is a bad idea... | 23:29 |
| tripel-livecd | One more thing maco aeon-ltd - about "primary" (vs extended>logical) partitions. Must a disk have a primary. must the system be on a primary? do *I* need to make a partition for /boot? -- I have old hard drives with data, saved things photos etc -- that I havent looked at for a while and I want to organize, sort and merge. Should these be on a separate partition? | 23:29 |
| maco | tripel-livecd: linux doesnt care if its on primary. windows does | 23:29 |
| gafir | hello, what program would you recommend to make loose diagrams / brainstorming? | 23:29 |
| floating | erUSUL: he tried to put some echo text in the .bashrc and that didin't work either | 23:29 |
| maco | gafir: i hear freemind is good | 23:30 |
| tripel-livecd | maco, why should women not be in the regular group? I'll go look at it. | 23:30 |
| erUSUL | floating: how he is testing the modifications ?? sourcing bashrc ? opening a new shell ? | 23:30 |
| floating | he connects with putty. relogins | 23:30 |
| floating | a user account, not admin | 23:30 |
| maco | tripel-livecd: its not separatist. there are members of UW on many of the major boards in ubuntu (i'm on a regional membership board), but it's a nice group to get support within the community | 23:31 |
| toni | alguien habla español | 23:31 |
| gafir | maco: I'll check it out thx | 23:31 |
| maco | !es | toni | 23:31 |

| wizzo50 | Can you use NetFlex on Ubuntu? | 23:33 |
| wizzo50 | sebsebseb | 23:34 |
| maco | wizzo50: netflix? | 23:34 |
| wizzo50 | Yea | 23:34 |
| wizzo50 | Mispelled, sorry | 23:34 |
| maco | wizzo50: the instant watch thing? no. that has DRM--technology made to prevent "unauthorized" people from viewing (and they consider linux users unauthorized) | 23:34 |
| geazzy | halo | 23:34 |
| wizzo50 | maco so i can't watch movies on here from it? | 23:35 |
| === pat_ is now known as igloos_pat | ||
| ritztech | seems like im gonna have to learn ALOT of AWK | 23:35 |
| ritztech | unless theres a better verion of curl | 23:35 |
| ritztech | haha | 23:35 |
| maco | wizzo50: if theyre on DVD sure, but not instant watch | 23:35 |
| wizzo50 | maco No plug-ins or anything | 23:35 |
| hagabaka | ritztech: what do you need to do with awk and curl? | 23:36 |
| maco | wizzo50: the necessary plugin (moonlight, to replace microsoft's silverlight) exists. however, you need a special encryption key to view netflix instant watch, and they only share that key with microsoft | 23:36 |
| wizzo50 | maco/ Yea I know that, but didn't know if we can watch straight through them on here. Do they plan to set it up for that in the future? | 23:37 |
| LinuxPhreak | Does anyone know how I can setup PXE booting with an ISO image stored on a hostgator shared hosting account? | 23:37 |
| Iceman_B | if I'm setting up a new system and I want to be able to enforce quota's for users, how do I go about it? | 23:37 |
| maco | wizzo50: ask netflix. write to them and tell them DRM is evil | 23:37 |
| ritztech | im building a script to take some things out of a WEb page and doing llike Showing configuration files // Neighboring sites and Curling the output but then somehow grepping out lines that Match certiain words and such | 23:37 |
| hagabaka | oh | 23:37 |
| wizzo50 | Maco, thanks anyway | 23:38 |
| hagabaka | I think a parser would be better for HTML/XML, but I don't know much about awk | 23:38 |
| tlarson | what's the command to find out what package a file was installed from? | 23:38 |
| === pat_ is now known as igloos_pat | ||
| hagabaka | tlarson: dpkg -S | 23:39 |
| steve__ | ritztech, I cant really advise on what to use but I can say for sure that there must be a better option than awk/sed. I tried doing just that a couple of days ago and the result wasnt pretty! | 23:40 |
| tlarson | hagabaka: thanks | 23:40 |
| iceroot | tlarson: dpkg -S if the package is installed, apt-file if you want to search in packages which are not installed | 23:40 |
| ritztech | script is in bash so i basically want to CURL a site and get info out of what was from a query of a site taht the user generated from the CLI to query the site it self ... then display what i want to see as the output | 23:40 |
| erUSUL | ritztech: use w3m -dump to output plain text | 23:40 |
| maco | ritztech: i recommend python's xml.dom if you're parsing html. also, BeautifulSoup.py if the html isnt well-formed xml | 23:41 |
| ritztech | instead of bash | 23:41 |
| ritztech | use some sort of python script | 23:41 |
| steve__ | erUSUL, Thanks for that! I will use that one in future! | 23:42 |
| erUSUL | steve__: no problem | 23:43 |
| Iceman_B | can I mount an entire hdd into an already existing and populated folder ? | 23:43 |
| Iceman_B | if so, what would happen? would all the files from the other hdd simply appear in the existing dir? | 23:43 |
| erUSUL | Iceman_B: yes; but the files witihng the folder would not be visible | 23:44 |
| Iceman_B | erUSUL: oh | 23:44 |
| tensorpudding | Iceman_B: unionfs | 23:44 |
| Iceman_B | tensorpudding: no clue what that is, but I'll look into it | 23:44 |
| live | bot | 23:44 |
| Iceman_B | maybe i should just create another dir and mount the drive there | 23:44 |
| erUSUL | Iceman_B: you will see the contents of the disk on the folder if any, the existing files will be inaccessible | 23:45 |
| trelayne | anyone know how to change the password from the command line? | 23:45 |
| tensorpudding | I think it allows you to have a filesystem mounted on top of another and have both of the files visible | 23:45 |

| erUSUL | kisplit: bashrc ? | 23:57 |
| kisplit | erUSUL: I'm sorry, I'm fairly new. What is bashrc? | 23:57 |

| kisplit | tensorpudding: Thanks for the info too :) | 23:58 |
| Dr_Willis | .bashrc is ranevery time you start up a new bash shell Normally. | 23:58 |
| tensorpudding | read the manpage for more information on the difference between .bash_profile and .bashrc | 23:58 |
| tensorpudding | and /etc/profile also | 23:59 |
| Dr_Willis | I think by default its .profile .bash_profile is emoptuy | 23:59 |

| tensorpudding | yeah | 23:59 |
| floating | how can I export a ld_library_path when i run screen ./something | 23:59 |
| kisplit | gotcha got a lot of reading to do haha. I'll be back ;) | 23:59 |
| floating | so it is exported there.. exporting it during login in bash_profile won't do it | 23:59 |
