| ubunt1 | OK... Wine is installed. | 00:01 |
| kop | ubunt1, I had to resort to VirtualBox and XPSP3 for much the same reason | 00:02 |

| ubunt1 | It worked! | 00:08 |

| Karen_m | system->admin->hardware drivers (it gives 2 options for nvidia .. 173 and 'current recommendation' .. I went with 173 | 00:19 |
| duffydack | RealEyes, ask them | 00:19 |
| RealEyes | yeah, great idea. | 00:19 |
| [thor] | RealEyes: type "is anybody out there?" in the command line | 00:19 |
| RealEyes | is command not found | 00:20 |
| rainrain | is there any way to have a windows and linux system share the same drive and both use shortcuts/symlinks | 00:20 |
| KE1HA | Karen_m, Im using dual 8800-GTX cards on this box, 10.04 w/updates, I went with the recommended driver (current version), and all seems well at this point. | 00:20 |
| luw | <RealEyes> is there anyway to tell if someone is hacking you? | 00:20 |
| RealEyes | my chat wont get online either | 00:20 |
| luw | that ones going in the fav question bood | 00:20 |
| rainrain | by share the same drive i mean a data drive -eg documents | 00:20 |
| luw | k | 00:20 |
| KE1HA | Karen_m, the current version = not the 173 version. | 00:20 |

| RealEyes | Alright, next question... | 00:22 |
| RealEyes | How does one uninstall programs? | 00:22 |
| luw | make it good like the last one | 00:22 |

| bazhang | RealEyes, sudo apt-get remove package | 00:22 |

| RealEyes | I have the manual DL'd ... I just need to find it lol | 00:24 |
| hiexpo | sup bazhang | 00:24 |
| duffydack | bazhang, ive found with most beginners its a lack of flashing tray icon that is most difficult to grasp... | 00:24 |
| [thor] | rainrain: ubuntu only handles .lnk files when they are installed through wine, it seems | 00:24 |
| lepra | chemical-death, the first time i got it to work i installed it manually | 00:24 |
| lepra | chemical-death, thanks anyway | 00:24 |
| duffydack | bazhang, they seem to have a paranoia, a new found one.. | 00:24 |
| [thor] | rainrain: do you have wine installed? | 00:25 |
| chemical-death | lepra: so try it manually again | 00:25 |
| rainrain | thor: all i really need is to be able to have ubuntu shortcuts to files on the external drive - would that just work right out of the box | 00:25 |
| RealEyes | why is there a terminal AND a 'root' terminal | 00:25 |
| RealEyes | ? | 00:25 |
| rainrain | [thor]: no - havent used wine | 00:25 |
| brandonj | RealEyes: one opens up right as the root user | 00:26 |

| brandonj | luw: look on the virtualbox website | 00:26 |

| RealEyes | E: Invalid operation uninstall | 00:28 |
| tensorpudding | brandonj: it only happens for us.archive.ubuntu.com | 00:28 |
| brandonj | RealEyes: Its 'remove' not 'uninstall' | 00:28 |
| [thor] | rainrain: wine is the microsoft compatibility layer.. there is a lot of details to be had when talking about that, check out http://www.winehq.org/ or their channel #winehq | 00:28 |
| RealEyes | lol | 00:28 |
| brandonj | tensorpudding: I'm not sure then. You can always try using a different mirror | 00:28 |
| tensorpudding | it's truly infuriating because it prevents me from downloading things half the time | 00:28 |
| rainrain | [thor]: thanks for your help - i think i thought wine was just for running apps - but it seems to also interface with explorer ? | 00:29 |
| [thor] | rainrain: yeah that's pretty much the way it'll work out | 00:29 |
| tensorpudding | since the software center does not handle the error on "unauthenticated packages" | 00:29 |
| luw | Pici: thank you! that is it. i have trouble using the "find channel" window because it always crashes my client | 00:29 |

| radi | hiku: main problem is i cant start the wireless | 00:40 |
| belkinsa | Ubuntu might not have the drivers for that one. | 00:40 |
| RealEyes | is that a file? "./profile"? | 00:40 |
| RealEyes | er ... I meant, a *folder? | 00:41 |
| hiku | KE1HA: rc.local doesn't require someone to logon for the commands in it to excute. .bashrc or .bash_profile are for that purpose. | 00:41 |
| VegasMike | Acer aspire one internal mic driver | 00:41 |
| RealEyes | idk what you guys are even talking about. | 00:41 |
| m41n1 | belkinsa: is there a way to diagnose the poblem? | 00:41 |
| KE1HA | RealEyes, yes, in a terminal window, type: ls -al and you'll see all dir's normal and hidden files | 00:41 |
| Guest7947 | hi | 00:41 |
| m41n1 | to get a work around | 00:41 |
| === Guest7947 is now known as tux11 | ||
| belkinsa | m41n1: Yes, with the Iusb command. | 00:42 |
| hiku | RealEyes: if you want a script to simply start and hopefully it's not a gui your tryin to kick off. then ~/.bashrc would be a good place to put it. | 00:42 |
| KE1HA | RealEyes, But puttign it into rc.local will enact the script for any user that logs in. | 00:42 |
| belkinsa | Or what command is it gain? The one to show the usb devices? | 00:42 |
| RealEyes | o.O; I only have one user. | 00:42 |

| Karen_m | If i have 4 windows (4 terminals) .. is there a way to click a few buttons and have it automatically split each 4 into perfect sizes on my window? Or better yet, winkey+left or winkey+right to split the windows in half like win7 on gnome? | 00:43 |
| albertolempira | guys i got this problem, when I open chrome to watch videos on youtube for example and I try to open a video o play a song there would be no sound nor video playing, but when i close chrome it all start working again, any idea on what could this be? thanks. | 00:43 |
| xangua | TELL0_: or wubi if you have windows | 00:43 |
| luw | TELL0_: do you have an ethernet port and another computer? | 00:43 |
| m41n1 | dmesg says | 00:43 |

| Karen_m | by the way, the 'current version' nvidia drivers with compiz fixed my issue. Well, it has not popped up like it did before with the development drivers ... after about 10 minutes the machine was lagging... now, beautiful | 00:44 |
| tux11 | any use an iriver device with ubuntu? | 00:44 |
| KE1HA | Karen_m, cool, glad it worked. | 00:44 |
| belkinsa | m41n1: Hmmm, dunno, sorry. And thanks for understanding what I was talking about. | 00:44 |
| TELL0_ | this is the scenario. Is a laptop with windows XP on it. BIOS do not detect USB on boot and the CD/DVD Room is broken. I tried the wubi way, but always give me an error | 00:44 |
| tux11 | i just drag and drop folders into said device | 00:44 |
| hiku | RealEyes: if you place a command in /etc/rc.local. it will run regardless if you logon or not. If you want a script to run when you logon to the console then place the command in ~/.bashrc, if you want it to start when you logon to the gui/X/gdm (ubuntu default logon), then use System, Prefs, Startup Applications | 00:44 |
| hiexpo | lsusb see if it's there or not | 00:45 |
| belkinsa | Tell0: What was the error? | 00:45 |
| RealEyes | q | 00:45 |
| tux11 | seems to be the best way to use iriver device with ubuntu | 00:45 |
| luw | if you have another computer, set up a dhcp server and tftp server on it | 00:45 |
| RealEyes | how do i stop conky from running? | 00:45 |
| Karen_m | xangua, how did you know glipper was not in development in years? Where did you find that information so I can find if other packages have not been updated in years | 00:45 |
| tux11 | iriver question? | 00:45 |
| hiexpo | killall conky | 00:45 |
| TELL0_ | No more computer, just that one and ethernet connection | 00:45 |
| hiku | RealEyes: from a terminal, type: killall conky | 00:45 |
| belkinsa | Virtual Box is the way. | 00:46 |
| tux11 | any own an iriver t5 mp3 device ? | 00:46 |
| Karen_m | with debian I used to use; rcconf to toggle what starts up when I rebooted. I think you can use .. update-rc.d or something like that | 00:46 |
| xangua | Karen_m: it's in glipper's web, the last version was released in 2007 | 00:46 |
| belkinsa | But get the close clouse of it | 00:46 |
| belkinsa | source. | 00:46 |

| Dr_Willis | RealEyes: its .bashrc | 00:47 |
| tux11 | looking for info on syncing iriver t5 mp3 device | 00:47 |
| === wzkOFF is now known as wzk | ||
| Dr_Willis | RealEyes: if you mean the bash startup scripts | 00:47 |
| luw | TELL0_: mabye check out boot.kernel.org? | 00:47 |
| RealEyes | yes i do | 00:48 |
| luw | youre putting alot of hope in hardware there though | 00:48 |
| RealEyes | so i just add the script to the dot.bashrc? | 00:48 |
| luw | TELL0_: on second thought, scratch that | 00:49 |
| Dr_Willis | RealEyes: i dont know what you are trying to do.. read the .bashrc and learn its layout. | 00:49 |
| RealEyes | its like looking at japanese | 00:49 |
| Dr_Willis | RealEyes: time to learn some bash then i guess.. its rather straight forward i thought. | 00:49 |
| tux11 | looking for info on syncing iriver t5 mp3 device ! | 00:50 |
| detrix42 | anyone know how to get the bios with an "EZbook PC"??? | 00:50 |
| RealEyes | how does one learn bash? And dont tell me 'man bash' | 00:50 |
| Dr_Willis | RealEyes: all 90% of it is doing is setting ariables | 00:50 |
| WarrenSensei | hi.... | 00:50 |
| Dr_Willis | RealEyes: theres dozens of web sites and books on 'learning bash' | 00:50 |
| RealEyes | alrighty then | 00:50 |
| hiexpo | !bash | 00:50 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 00:50 |
| tux11 | looking for info on syncing iriver t5 mp3 device | 00:50 |
| Dr_Willis | It just takes some time and effort. and is worth learning. | 00:50 |
| WarrenSensei | anyone here know anything about PDF-xchange viewer installation problems? | 00:50 |
| hiku | RealEyes: the .bashrc file is in your home dir. the . infront of the bashrc means the file is hidden. So to edit, you can use any editor from the command line like vi, pico, etc to edit the file. example: %> vi ~/.bashrc | 00:51 |
| AndyGraybeal | can someone explain the differnce between ACL's and regular CHMOD attributes? I understand that ACL's are more fine-grained, but what does that mean in an example? | 00:51 |
| Dr_Willis | RealEyes: I have to ask why are you messing with the .bashrc exactly if you dont know any bash? what are you trying to do? | 00:51 |
| hiexpo | RealEyes, ^^ | 00:51 |
| RealEyes | Thanks for the concern, guys. | 00:52 |
| hiku | Dr_Willis: Trying to kick off a script auto-magicly when he logs in | 00:52 |
| RealEyes | Uh, basically, what I'm trying to do is make my terminal open at startup(done) and then run a series of scripts by itself. | 00:52 |
| RealEyes | One being a background changing script i came acrost, the other being conky | 00:52 |
| Dr_Willis | RealEyes: you want EVER terminal you open to do this? I think you are confused about some things. | 00:52 |
| RealEyes | No. | 00:52 |
| Dr_Willis | RealEyes: You can start conky from the gnome startup manager tookls/system. NOT .bashrc | 00:53 |
| RealEyes | A terminal opens at startup for me, now. | 00:53 |
| n-iCe | hi, a guy told me in here to install, linux-backports-modules-wireless-`uname -r`, said this could help me with my wireless is pretty unstable, but once I installed and rebooted, wlan0 dissapeared, any ideas, please? | 00:53 |
| Kritoslap | Hi, I'm running 10.04 on a laptop, and screen saver and put display to sleep when idle worked fine but not it doesn't work. Why? | 00:53 |
| hiku | RealEyes: conky can be started from the "Startup Applications" app under System>Prefs>Startup Applications. | 00:53 |
| Dr_Willis | RealEyes: .bashrc is ONLY for bash specific stuff. | 00:53 |
| Kritoslap | Is there a bug or something? | 00:53 |
| hiku | RealEyes: and, I bet money it will also work with your background changing script too. | 00:53 |

| Dr_Willis | RealEyes: check out http://www.webilder.org for a neat wallpaper changer | 00:55 |
| WarrenSensei | the terminal has just stopped showing any activity | 00:55 |
| joe___ | I once had the 64-bit native plugin installed and I remember that webcam worked, but now I cannot find that plugin anymore | 00:55 |
| Dr_Willis | hiku: its not doing a bash thing.. so its pointless.. You could put 'startx' in your .bashrc and it would startx.. that would be rather annouying however | 00:56 |
| hiku | Dr_Willis: lol yea for sure. | 00:56 |
| RealEyes | eh, that looks like an 'easy listening radio' website. I dont want photos from flickr. | 00:56 |

| RealEyes | I just dont want to have to copy/paste that script into my terminal everytime. | 00:56 |

| RealEyes | Dr_Willis, i was jk. Its not for me, man. | 00:57 |
| hiku | RealEyes: use the Startup Applications app to set things you want to start automatic. | 00:57 |
| RealEyes | I do not want photos from flickr. | 00:57 |
| Dr_Willis | RealEyes: it can also use your own images of course.. read up on it. | 00:57 |

| tim_ | cyphase, so every one on my network can use them | 01:23 |
| hughessd | tim: if so, 'chmod' | 01:23 |
| tim_ | hughessd, yes. | 01:23 |
| tim_ | Yeah chmod okay | 01:23 |
| tim_ | there is a recursive command | 01:24 |

| rww | sdbinwiiexe: http://design.canonical.com/the-toolkit/ubuntu-brand-guidelines/ should have one | 01:24 |

| hughessd | tim: if you want everyone to have permission, use 777 | 01:25 |
| rww | sdbinwiiexe: looks like http://design.canonical.com/brand/Logos/Ubuntu_brandmark_aw.zip has SVGs that should work | 01:26 |
| KE1HA | tim_, well you'll also ahve to share the folder, so you could chown -R nobody:nobody and then share the folder with Samba or from the desktop right click and share. | 01:26 |

| Ciruelo | people, i need help my mouse dont work on ubuntu 10.4 | 01:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | tim_, if you wan't "see" them, be sure the directory you are sharing had executable set for Other group (your 777 setting on the directory) | 01:30 |
| duffydack | dmar198, install soundconverter is probably best.. but 1-2mb, ouch | 01:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | tim_, s/wan't/can't | 01:30 |
| tim_ | dmar198, open ubuntu software center and type in mp3 converter | 01:30 |
| androidrocks135 | Ciruelo what, it just doesn't work? | 01:30 |
| dmar198 | okay....but the conversion, will it allow me to keep the same format and just specify the megabytes? | 01:31 |
| Ciruelo | just dont work... | 01:31 |
| radi | man my usb hard drive is faster than my desktop one -.- | 01:31 |
| androidrocks135 | have you tried re-syncing if its wireless, Ciruelo? | 01:31 |

| dmar198 | is there a specification on the effect variable bitrates will have on file size? | 01:33 |
| tim_ | KE1HA, the permissions confuses me. What 750, 650, and 777 mean and how do you know what it means? | 01:33 |
| rww | kisplit: you need to use /save afterwards to save configuration changes like that | 01:33 |
| radi | duffydack: do you know how to avoid the black screen on boot with a laptop except nomodeset ? | 01:33 |
| kisplit | rww: I did and it's written to the .config file | 01:33 |
| aeon-ltd | dmar198: no but its usually "less"(used loosely) than constant bitrate | 01:33 |
| SimonP86 | I'm currently running eclipse by typing "~/eclipse/eclipse" but if I just type "eclipse" terminal says "The program 'eclipse' is currently not installed." | 01:34 |

| pooper | aeon-ltd | 01:34 |
| kisplit | rww: .irssi/config* | 01:34 |
| rww | kisplit: odd. I used "/ignore -channel #ubuntu * JOINS PARTS QUITS" and it works fine | 01:34 |
| aeon-ltd | SimonP86: eclipse --version, maybe? | 01:34 |
| th0r | SimonP86: create a soft link in /usr/local/bin | 01:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | SimonP86, did you install eclipse yourself or with Ubuntu tool? | 01:34 |
| kisplit | rww: and after that command you used /save? | 01:34 |
| SimonP86 | myself | 01:34 |

| So_Confused | Hey room... Question. A friend is overseas and at her campus they can access the internet only AFTER they view a commercial.

| pooper | aeon-ltd, i strongly recommend installing the version of Helios that is available for download through their site | 01:35 |

| Spawn82 | just wodering how i fix a unresponsive scipt on firefox | 01:35 |

| radi | or something similar | 01:35 |
| SimonP86 | I wasn't sure where to extract the tarball | 01:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | SimonP86, it's not really "bad" - just not the Ubuntu way of doing things | 01:35 |
| radi | if i put nomodeset its ok | 01:35 |
| dmar198 | duffydack :: okay. There must be software that does it, though. 15 megabyte podcasts are all like 3 megabytes or so. | 01:35 |

| duffydack | radi, so you want a splash? | 01:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | SimonP86, typically you'd install eclipse by running "sudo apt-get install eclipse" or use Synaptic/or Ubuntu Software Center. If you have to "manually" install for whatever reason, then your home directory is fine really, or use /opt or whatever. good luck man. | 01:37 |

| duffydack | LorgonJortle, 'cheese' | 01:43 |
| kisplit | basix-: Do you mean IDE? The GUI IDE will use the gcc toolchain for compiling most likely. | 01:43 |

| ZykoticK9 | Gnea, i was told (perhaps incorrectly) that they'd decided on the 3X 10 - is that not final? | 01:48 |
| Gnea | androidrocks135: it is when you call people names. | 01:48 |
| th0r | androidrocks135: read that again and try to guess why no one is helping you | 01:48 |

| basix- | my software center will not install or remove anything, everytime I try it fails | 01:48 |
| LorgonJortle | alright, thanks, guys/gals. Cheese works perfectly. | 01:49 |
| Gnea | ZykoticK9: it will be final on 10.10.10 | 01:49 |
| KE1HA | linux_op, Dont think so, would be 10.XX.XX is they stay on the relase cycle. | 01:49 |
| KE1HA | If* | 01:49 |
| basix- | in the details i am left with this message, "E:I wasn't able to locate a file for the libmng1 package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package. (due to missing arch): " | 01:49 |
| Gnea | but seeing as how it's 8.9.10 now, it's not done yet :) | 01:49 |
| LorgonJortle | Dell did a great job with Studio 17 in terms of Linux compatability. | 01:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | Gnea, no i was talking about the day for release is it 10.10.10? confused... sorry. | 01:49 |
| glassresistor | i have a weird issue with a new install of lucid on amd64, using the flash installer hulu works but i can't click on youtube | 01:49 |

| ZykoticK9 | Gnea, all good ;) | 01:50 |
| LorgonJortle | duffydack: Yeah, I just got this beast today. I love it yet. | 01:50 |
| duffydack | LorgonJortle, 1747 or 1749 | 01:50 |

| KE1HA | Now how clever is that :-) .. next year 11.11.11 ? :-) | 01:51 |
| cablop | i have no sound in ubuntu | 01:51 |
| cablop | i just moved it to a new motherboard | 01:51 |
| Gnea | KE1HA: heh, not quite :) | 01:51 |
| LorgonJortle | duffydack: 1747 | 01:51 |
| soreau | ! audio | cablop | 01:51 |
| ubottu | cablop: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 01:51 |
| LorgonJortle | Is 1749 better? | 01:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | KE1HA, 11 isn't a release month - only 4 or 10 ;) | 01:51 |
| Gnea | 11.04 | 01:51 |
| Gnea | then 11.10 | 01:51 |

| === wickid is now known as HixT | ||
| duffydack | LorgonJortle, same here. 1600x900 or 19201x1080 | 01:52 |
| KE1HA | ZykoticK9, I know, was a vane attempt at levity :-) | 01:52 |
| LorgonJortle | 1920x1080 :-D | 01:52 |
| Gnea | f00bar80: about? | 01:52 |
| cablop | the other weird thing is.... i deleted the old referenced network cards... and they keep appearing there, but i have NOTHING in /etc/network/interfaces... :( | 01:52 |
| duffydack | LorgonJortle, same. no, not really any better | 01:52 |
| cablop | where is ubuntu storing network interface settings now? | 01:52 |
| psyt7 | anyone here with a Z520 asus product? | 01:52 |
| Gnea | cablop: interfaces does not control network cards by default | 01:52 |
| glassresistor | also firefox3 has been crashing often but without reason, i have it in the terminal but it only seems to crash when i don't have an error log running | 01:53 |
| f00bar80 | Gnea, i'm using ubuntu 10.04 and connecting to the internet using a wireless connection , how to share this connection to my lan i.e i want eth0 to share the wireless wlan0 ( both are on the same machine ) , any comment ? | 01:53 |
| Gnea | cablop: network manager or wicd usually take care of it | 01:53 |
| LorgonJortle | duffydack: Backlit keyboard, UBL + SRS Premium sound, 4GB RAM, 250GB HDD, and i7 quad | 01:53 |
| dmar198 | glassresistor :: Google Chrome. Boom. | 01:53 |
| SimonP86 | th0r, ZykoticK9: success! I've now got it installed in /opt/eclipse and running the "eclipse" command from my home dir launches it. Thanks for your help guys, I really appreciate it | 01:53 |
| cablop | gnea... well... then... why i see 5 things to enable in the network manager? | 01:53 |
| LorgonJortle | I haven't been able to put the i7 to work yet, but I'm excited to. :-) | 01:53 |
| Gnea | f00bar80: have you ever used ubuntu or any other linux, for that matter, to share a connection? | 01:53 |
| glassresistor | dmar198: no plugins boom | 01:53 |
| * kisplit loves chromium and wonders if any others here are using it | 01:53 | |
| cablop | gnea but those cards are not in the system... so no way to detect them :S | 01:53 |
| th0r | SimonP86: enjoy | 01:54 |
| dmar198 | glassresistor :: extensions, userscripts...but no plugins | 01:54 |
| glassresistor | kisplit: when opensoucre chromium is ready ill use it | 01:54 |
| Gnea | cablop: I don't know, could u post a screenshot? | 01:54 |
| kisplit | glassresistor: What do you mean by, "ready"? | 01:54 |
| cablop | well, hard to popst it, cause i'm fighting with he network on tnat machine :( | 01:54 |
| f00bar80 | Gnea, yea but really i forget it now | 01:54 |
| Gnea | !ics | f00bar80 | 01:54 |
| ubottu | f00bar80: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php | 01:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | glassresistor, dmar198 chromium-browser is open source version of "google chrome" and in the default 10.04 repos guys... | 01:55 |
| dmar198 | Chrome is so much prettier though | 01:55 |
| duffydack | LorgonJortle, no backlit, I went cheap..4gb, 500gb hd.. lots of problems and a new laptop after 6 call outs.. the 'engineers' didnt know their screwdriver from their mothers cat.. | 01:55 |
| LorgonJortle | haha | 01:55 |
| cablop | gnea i can type what i see, but it's not good enough | 01:55 |
| cablop | :S | 01:55 |
| glassresistor | kisplit: chromium still crashes randomly for my, im not using the daily builds, but also when it has things like chatzila, and firebug, noscript etc | 01:55 |
| duffydack | LorgonJortle, its off-topic anyway.. I`m goin to bed.. ciao for now | 01:55 |
| LorgonJortle | Later, man. | 01:55 |
| Gnea | !screenshot | cablop | 01:56 |
| ubottu | cablop: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://tinyurl.com/imagebin and post a link to it. | 01:56 |
| kisplit | glassresistor: Ahh, I do miss noscript :( | 01:56 |
| Gnea | cablop: well, if you can type on irc, you can upload an image | 01:56 |
| cablop | and how can i send the screenshot with no network? | 01:56 |
| cablop | in a different omputer | 01:56 |
| Gnea | oh | 01:56 |
| Gnea | didn't know that | 01:56 |
| cablop | :P | 01:56 |
| dmar198 | cablop :: do you have an SD card? or a USB stick? | 01:56 |
| glassresistor | kisplit: but i do think chromium's js implementation is great | 01:56 |
| cablop | let me try with a usb | 01:56 |
| Gnea | cablop: digital camera? | 01:56 |
| Gnea | ok | 01:57 |
| cablop | hehe | 01:57 |
| Gnea | :) | 01:57 |
| kisplit | glassresistor: I haven't played with chromium code at all but I sure can feel the speed =P | 01:57 |
| dmar198 | cablop :: here's an idea. Upload your screenshot from your dead computer to the cloud. Then download it to your live computer. Then re-upload it to the cloud using your live computer, so that your dead computer doesn't have to. | 01:57 |
| dmar198 | wait | 01:58 |

| KE1HA | Problem* | 02:12 |
| n00berthanyou | anyone know if I can enable 64 bit on a netbook edition of Ubuntu? | 02:12 |
| Hollow`Point | KE1HA: what you mean? big big problem? | 02:13 |
| maco | n00berthanyou: you cant change architectures after install | 02:13 |
| maco | n00berthanyou: you could do a 64bit install and then install the netbook UI afterward | 02:13 |
| n00berthanyou | dang. Alright, thanks maco. | 02:13 |
| hiexpo | n00berthanyou, use 32 bit it is better | 02:13 |
| Gnea | Hollow`Point: in the case of installing that pointer program, you need to prepend the command with the 'sudo' command, like this: sudo apt-get install gpointing-device-settings | 02:13 |
| cablop | gnea, login... | 02:14 |
| n00berthanyou | Thing is, I just realized that my computer can handle 64 bit. OK, thanks anyway | 02:14 |
| Gnea | maco: have you seen the new 64bit netbooks? | 02:14 |
| cablop | gnea... no network icon on the new user :( | 02:14 |
| Gnea | cablop: might need to make sure the new user is within the proper groups | 02:15 |
| hiexpo | i think 32 bit is better | 02:15 |
| maco | Gnea: nope... i thought a few atoms were avilable 64bit but that theyd gone away already | 02:15 |
| intangir | ok i shared a directory on ubuntu, it shared it wrong, the options were confusing and stupid, and now it wont let me unshare it, even though IT IS sharing it... | 02:15 |
| intangir | in ubuntu's attempt to simplify file sharing it apparently made it confusing, retarded, and NOT WORKING | 02:15 |
| maco | Gnea: i have a brand new netbook with one of the new atoms (n450) and afaik, thats 32bit | 02:15 |
| intangir | how do i unshare a directory i shared, but isnt showing up as being shared.. and has no option in the gui's to unshare, and isnt in my samba config... | 02:16 |
| pecar | hi, i'm installing ubuntu netbook to a asus eeepc 701 and it is stopped when installing grub in sda . Somebody knows what's happening? | 02:16 |
| maco | Gnea: im not sure youd want to use 64bit OS on a machine with little RAM... 64bit uses quite a bit of RAM, IME | 02:16 |
| cablop | gnea, better if i close my user first to? | 02:16 |
| linux_op | im trying to get gparted to set a partition as primary! | 02:16 |

| cablop | too? | 02:16 |
| linux_op | and I can't figure it out | 02:16 |
| intangir | linux_op: i think it can only be made primary on creation | 02:16 |
| Gnea | maco: acer has a new aspire one that's an athlon II neo | 02:16 |
| intangir | you cant change it later | 02:16 |
| cablop | gnea login... | 02:17 |
| Gnea | cablop: yeah | 02:17 |
| dmar198 | thank you everyone :) | 02:17 |

| androidrocks135 | wussap muthafuckkaz!!! I just changed my architecture from 32 to 64 bit with apt-get install 64bitMagic | 02:17 |

| KE1HA | So_Confused, sure, just SSH into that machine, and if APT is installed, the just do the normal sudo apt-get install [program] you'll need the sudo PW though. | 02:20 |
| TeachMePlease | I can open my aserisk o obuntu | 02:20 |

| m41n1 | guys, if i have two computer with ubuntu, is it possible to use the graphic card of computer a to run gdm in computer b? | 02:21 |
| SimonP86 | If I just use the command "sudo rm -r dirname" then I'd need to keep pressing y | 02:21 |
| Dr_Willis | SimonP86: system directories? or where exactly? | 02:21 |
| hiexpo | !apt | 02:21 |
| 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) | 02:21 |
| Dr_Willis | SimonP86: theres the 'f' option | 02:21 |
| KE1HA | !aptitude | So_Confused | 02:21 |
| So_Confused | KE1HA: is that installed as a default in Ubuntu? | 02:21 |
| ubottu | So_Confused: 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 | 02:21 |
| SimonP86 | a directory I stuck in /opt | 02:21 |
| guampa | SimonP86: add f to the switches | 02:21 |
| SimonP86 | ah ok, thanks | 02:21 |
| Dr_Willis | SimonP86: you will need root rights to remove system type dirs | 02:21 |
| KE1HA | !apt | So_Confused | 02:21 |
| ubottu | So_Confused: please see above | 02:22 |

| rallias | however, wifi is a pain to set up on a computer without a gui | 03:10 |

| rallias | doopy: fedorra has its advantages, and so does ubuntu. | 03:21 |
| rallias | Personally, in my experience, Fedora has a more up-to-date kernal by default, but Ubuntu tends to be more stable. | 03:21 |
| nick020487 | which one runs better with a wireless connection to windows? | 03:21 |
| doopy | rallias what is the major use of fedorra ? | 03:21 |
| Ace2 | rallias, http://paste.ubuntu.com/475722/ | 03:22 |
| sacarlson | himel: what ever device you want to mount and you will have to create a temp dir to mount it on | 03:22 |
| himel | thx sacarlson>>>im trying | 03:22 |
| rallias | doopy: umm... I don't know. It is one that has the capibility of dynamic wallpapers, I'm not sure ubuntu has the same. | 03:22 |
| nick020487 | doopy and rallias: which linux system runs best with a wireless connection to windows? | 03:22 |
| nick020487 | in order to access the internet | 03:22 |
| === jordan is now known as Guest43777 | ||
| rallias | nick020487: Unless you have some messed up system, it does not connect through a windows system. | 03:23 |
| doopy | nick020487, i have no idea i used ubuntu wireless to connect to internet only never tried pc to windows pc | 03:23 |
| Guest43777 | how do you download itunes in ubuntu | 03:23 |
| himel | i want to mount my local HDD | 03:23 |
| doopy | Guest43777, you cant use rythm box | 03:24 |
| nick020487 | rallias and doopy: wow i was afraid of that. Linksys strait said there is no way to run a wireless card from them through linux to a windows pc with the router attatced | 03:24 |
| doopy | i tried itunes on wine but i had problems | 03:24 |
| Guest43777 | wine? can you config wine with itunes??? | 03:24 |
| himel | mount: can't find /dev/sdb2/mnt in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 03:24 |
| himel | !!! | 03:25 |
| reese | hi | 03:25 |
| Gimped | Guest43777: you will have to check stability of it in winehq apps database | 03:25 |
| rallias | nick020487: if both machines have access to the same router, then both ubuntu and fedora have the capibility of detecting and connecting to the windows machine | 03:25 |
| sacarlson | himel: were is your local hard drive? try look at what you have with fdisk -l | 03:25 |
| aristo | hi i'm using 10.04.1 and now when i login gdm takes like a minute or two to complete log in, is that a known bug? | 03:25 |
| johnhamelink | hey there, i'm trying to get the wireless working on my samsung n130 netbook. I have it working but it sometimes times out, and sometimes it takes ages to resolve domains. It takes next to no time to access local IPs | 03:25 |
| rallias | johnhamelink: google bind9 cache config | 03:26 |
| nick020487 | rallias: sorry ignore the question about fedora. i have ubuntu on my comp now. i have a linksys router attatched to my dads dell running off windows and a linksys built in wireless card running off ubuntu. i just can't get it to connect to the router | 03:26 |
| johnhamelink | rallias, will do | 03:26 |
| johnedy | is there solution or tutorial for sharing data ubuntu to utuntu using peer to peer cable | 03:27 |
| rallias | nick020487: can you connect to the router? | 03:27 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | rallias: what does it got to do with Wine??? | 03:27 |
| nick020487 | rallias: no it says "device not ready" | 03:28 |
| rallias | Eryn_1983_FL: .exe programs are special in that they use a different dns lookup format then they do for linux | 03:28 |
| nick020487 | rallias: i guess it's not even recognizing my card in there properly | 03:28 |
| johnhamelink | rallias, I'm not sure what to do with this? What are you suggesting I do? | 03:28 |
| bob_newbie | looking for a logmein app for ubuntu, i'd like to not have to do the port forwarding thing any help here? | 03:28 |
| nick020487 | rallias: my friend told me to install ndiswrapper | 03:28 |
| doopy | nick020487, how are you connected in here ? you're using ubuntu right now ? | 03:28 |
| johnhamelink | bob_newbie, teamviewer is pretty good :) | 03:28 |
| rallias | nick020487: right click the networking notification icon, then click enable networking | 03:28 |
| himel | i can't | 03:28 |
| sacarlson | johnedy: local network you can use samba | 03:29 |
| rallias | johnhamelink: i am suggesting dns caching with bind9. It will cache websites that you commonly use in a dns cache. | 03:29 |
| nick020487 | rallias: yah im hardlined in a different room from where i usually am | 03:29 |
| heckler | How do I get rid of my purple default background on the login screen? | 03:29 |
| rallias | johnhamelink: do you have a love for firefox or are you willing to switch to chromium? | 03:29 |
| johnhamelink | rallias, is there no way to actually fix the problem I'm having with the wireless? (ethernet is perfect) | 03:29 |
| nick020487 | rallias: and trust me im not dumb, ive tried everything i know associated with windows and things like that | 03:29 |
| BalSak | hi guys. somehow my indicator applet on lucid 32 got borked; no volume or network indicator. is there some how to reset/reinstall the applet? force a reload of all components & setting? | 03:29 |
| johnhamelink | rallias, I use chromium already ;) | 03:29 |
| bob_newbie | johnhamelink thanks i'll check it out | 03:29 |
| johnedy | i'm new be can u give totorial using samba... | 03:30 |
| himel | fdisk -l nothing comes out | 03:30 |
| xangua | !panels | 03:30 |
| xangua | BalSak: tried to reset the panel¿ | 03:30 |
| ubottu | To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 03:30 |
| xangua | or maybe reinstall the indicator packages | 03:30 |
| IdleOne | himel: sudo fdisk -l | 03:30 |
| himel | thx IdleOne | 03:31 |
| heckler | !help | 03:31 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 03:31 |
| rallias | johnhamelink: then DNS caching is your best bet. If you visit google.com alot, then it keeps the ip address to google.com in the cache and doesn't reconnect to the dns server every request, just every time the cache link expires. | 03:31 |
| johnhamelink | rallias, i guess you're right | 03:31 |
| rallias | johnhamelink: for whatever reason, Ubuntu's networking mechanism seems to be incompetent in terms of its dns caching capibilities | 03:32 |
| sacarlson | johnedy: there are many but heres one i found on google http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 | 03:32 |
| johnhamelink | rallias, I've been trying to get past this annoying limitation for the past 2.5 hours, you have given me a silver lining of sorts :P | 03:32 |
| thune3 | johnhamelink: i think you are right to suspect a deeper root issue. dnscaching will make the problem less impactful but it will still exist | 03:32 |
| rallias | the only problem is that if you are running low on ram now you will go into swap rehab alot when you install this service | 03:33 |
| johnhamelink | rallias, aah - this is a netbook :S | 03:33 |
| johnhamelink | thune3, yeah: of all the ralink drivers my netbook could have come with >.< | 03:33 |
| albech_ | whats the name of the GD libraries for php? | 03:34 |
| rallias | johnhamelink: then in edit connections, select wireless -> your wireless access point -> edit -> IPv4 Settings, set method to automatic dhcp addresses only, and set the dns servers to "8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4" | 03:35 |
| himel | mount: can't find /dev/sdb2/mnt in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 03:35 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | sigh but it breaks my system if install it an avahi-daemone | 03:35 |
| himel | wht the meaning>>>mount: can't find /dev/sdb2/mnt in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 03:35 |
| So_Confused | question.... at Starbucks you need a browser to get on their wifi by accepting via a checkbox on the starbucks site. You can't ssh UNTIL that happens, right? | 03:35 |
| rallias | So_Confused: you can, it only proxies http connections i believe | 03:36 |
| johnhamelink | rallias: result! I actually tried that with opendns instead of google's dns. For some annoying reason it works now! | 03:36 |
| rallias | but i would click that box jic | 03:36 |
| elkclone | so_confused: no services till you login. | 03:37 |
| himel | wht is fstab/mtab | 03:37 |
| makson | I can someone help me troubleshoot ssh issues, i'm getting a public key error, i followed a bunch of guides all permissions are set right | 03:37 |
| sacarlson | So_Confused: I would asume so they will filter out any atempt to go outside there local network till you pay them money or they give you access | 03:37 |
| makson | i'm just stuck... i can't figure this out | 03:37 |
| rallias | makson: did you try adding an exception? | 03:37 |
| === pecar_ is now known as pecar | ||
| Gimped | himel: /etc/fstab is a location for your mounting partitions | 03:37 |
| So_Confused | sacarlson: that's what I thought... ty | 03:37 |
| So_Confused | elkclone: ty | 03:38 |
| So_Confused | rallias: ty... I'll try tomorrow | 03:38 |
| maxwellian | So_Confused: I agree with sacarlson, I think they drop all outgoing connections. There's no guarantee you can SSH even after paying. | 03:38 |
| Gimped | himel: fstab = doc that initiates which partitions will mount upon booting into linux | 03:38 |
| sacarlson | makson: is this ssh a client or server problem? | 03:38 |
| maxwellian | So_Confused: Unless you've done it before. | 03:38 |
| albertolempira | guys i got this problem, when I open chrome to watch videos on youtube for example and I try to open a video o play a song there would be no sound nor video playing, but when i close chrome it all start working again, any idea on what could this be? thanks. | 03:38 |
| So_Confused | maxwellian: haven't done it before.... and actually Starbucks offers free wifi now. No need for money or an att account like before. | 03:39 |
| makson | sacarlson: rallias yes, i believe it's a server side issus with the public key... | 03:39 |
| makson | brb | 03:39 |
| himel | Gimped: i want to access my window drive? | 03:39 |
| maxwellian | So_Confused: Ah, okay. Well just be aware that they might only allow HTTP traffic, or something like that. | 03:39 |
| sacarlson | maxwellian: So_Confused: that's true they can filter the ssh port if they don't want you to ssh to something but not sure why the would do that. you can also change the port that ssh uses to get around that | 03:39 |
| Gimped | himel: is your windows drive in the fstab document? if it is then it should load on linux boot | 03:39 |
| maxwellian | So_Confused: Don't get your hopes up. | 03:39 |
| johnhamelink | rallias: wow, epic fail - i left my ethernet cable in >.< Yeah there's no difference | 03:39 |
| rallias | johnhamelink: uhh... | 03:40 |
| Gimped | albertolempira: sounds like a pulseaudio problem maybe; just a guess | 03:40 |
| So_Confused | sacarlson: they do block port 22, but I've configured my server to listen to another port... I'm gonna try it tomorrow. | 03:40 |

| makson | Hi back | 03:41 |
| sacarlson | makson: did you just do a standard install of ssh? | 03:41 |
| makson | back | 03:41 |
| makson | sacarlson: it came with ubuntu server | 03:41 |
| rallias | johnhamelink: just like my dad says: they never tell you the whole story. You may end up charging 300 dollars just to change a light bulb (he did that once) | 03:41 |
| sacarlson | makson: what error do you see? | 03:41 |
| johnhamelink | rallias, sorry, what context do you mean? ^.^ | 03:41 |
| himel | im running win7+ubuntu.6h ago i access all drive from ubuntu.but this morning i can't access my win drives!! | 03:41 |
| makson | sacarlson: It works fine for my user, and another test user... I scp my public key up to the server create the .ssh dir and rename the public key to authorized_keys fiel with right permissions | 03:42 |
| rallias | johnhamelink: your dns issues | 03:42 |
| makson | sacarlson: I get Permission denied (publickey) | 03:42 |

| magn3ts | How can I access my files on a HD that are using ecrypt-fs? | 03:42 |
| maxwellian | himel: What happened in the last 6 hours that's relevant, and what happens when you try to access your drives normally? | 03:42 |
| makson | sacarlson: If i do a -v for the failing account I see it trying the private key, for the working account i see it trying public key | 03:42 |
| sacarlson | makson: ok you access without login with keys and you tried to install keys? | 03:42 |
| rallias | magn3ts: by logging into the user who owns those files. | 03:43 |
| pecar | hi, how do i install grub from the ubuntu cd? | 03:43 |
| makson | sacarlson: which deosn't make any sense to me because the private key is on my box and it should be trying that key, why would it try the public key and WORK? the public key shoudl be on the server | 03:43 |

| sacarlson | plunder: I don't know seems you did it right, try create a new user and login to that acount and see if it changes for that acount. maybe it's also someplace in the home dir | 04:04 |
| jellow | russ5811: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /home/$USER/Desktop/Backup | 04:04 |
| maxwellian | russ5811: No problem, and I didn't mean to keep you from what seemed like an acceptable solution for you. :) | 04:04 |
| himel | KB1JWQ: yes some1 try to help me but can't | 04:04 |
| monokrome | Does anyone here know the difference between a normal terminal and one opened with a login shell? | 04:04 |
| russ5811 | no problem. easy is better :), would i replace all the $USER with my id? | 04:05 |
| KB1JWQ | himel: Welp, good luck. | 04:05 |
| jellow | russ5811: no just copy paste | 04:05 |

| mxe5 | Can I change my password by booting to a Live CD ? ? ? | 04:05 |
| himel | KB1WQ: sudo mount not working | 04:05 |
| jellow | mxe5: yes you need to mount the hd and edit /etc/shadow | 04:06 |
| sacarlson | plunder: I don't see it in my home dir when I grep so I'm still not sure | 04:06 |
| russ5811 | max, I got this output: cannot access `/home/russ5811/Desktop/Backup': No such file or directory | 04:07 |
| himel | sacarlson: so wtat is the problem why i can't access?? | 04:07 |

| russ5811 | max, yes | 04:11 |
| plunder | sacarlson: yeah im gunna look in to it maybe in .bashrc | 04:12 |
| maxwellian | russ5811: Okay, I'm on Xubuntu so I can't guide you to figure out the full path of the directory you're viewing. Is it showing anywhere in Nautilus? | 04:12 |

| himel | sacarlson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/475730/ | 04:14 |
| maxwellian | russ5811: Where do you want these files to end up? | 04:14 |
| maxwellian | russ5811: Do you want to copy them to another drive, is that what you said? | 04:14 |
| * maxwellian can't remember | 04:14 | |
| russ5811 | my regular Desktop is fine, or anywhere that's simple | 04:14 |
| jellow | makson: The port not being blocked is it? | 04:14 |
| KB1JWQ | makson: I bet it does show up in the auth log or secure log ( I forget which Ubuntu uses). | 04:14 |
| KB1JWQ | makson: Are you seeing TCP session establishment? | 04:15 |
| russ5811 | no, they're on my HDD now, but they're only accessible through root. the external drive is now out of the equation | 04:15 |
| maxwellian | russ5811: Oh, great. | 04:15 |
| picard1421 | is there a computer channel here on this server.. i was thinking about getting a laptop and wanted some feedback which channel would i go to? | 04:15 |
| maxwellian | russ5811: What's your regular user login name? | 04:15 |
| russ5811 | russ5811 | 04:16 |
| maxwellian | russ5811: Ah...right. :) | 04:16 |
| russ5811 | original huh? | 04:16 |
| maxwellian | russ5811: ;) | 04:16 |
| sacarlson | himel: ok it's there just cd /mnt and ls to see what's in your disk | 04:16 |
| jellow | picard1421: you could try and brave #hardware .. | 04:17 |
| === aperson is now known as APERSON | ||
| sacarlson | himel: you had already mounted it you also have to look at it | 04:17 |
| maxwellian | russ5811: Still unclear about the actual path to the Backup folder though. Can you try right-clicking on one of the files and maybe there's a Properties option or something? | 04:17 |
| sacarlson | himel: you can also view the files in your nautilus file browser | 04:18 |
| salawank | Test | 04:18 |
| mxe5 | jellow: Thanks though - Appreciate it ! | 04:18 |
| maxwellian | russ5811: I guess in Ubuntu root's homedir is /root, but I want to be sure. | 04:18 |
| picard1421 | jellow hmm ok | 04:18 |
| himel | sacarlson: just i clicked and it says error>>Unable to mount System Reserved>>Not Authorized | 04:19 |
| magn3ts | Does anyone know how to recover FNEK from an external drive with an encrypted home folder? You know, as in, how to actually get data out of the encrypted partitions that ubuntu allows users to use. | 04:19 |
| makson | KB1JWQ: nothing in auth log which is anoying me... | 04:19 |
| Kravlin | magn3ts: do you have the key? | 04:19 |
| makson | KB1JWQ: nothing in syslog either | 04:19 |
| sacarlson | himel: did you try cd /mnt ? | 04:19 |
| russ5811 | max: I'll describe the best I can. I opened a terminal and typed gksudo nautilus then I navigated to Desktop, then I created a folder called Backup. when looking at the gui, it has root, then Desktop, then Backup on the folder heirarchy. | 04:19 |
| russ5811 | does that help? | 04:19 |
| jellow | picard1421: or come to think of it try #ubuntu-offtopic | 04:19 |
| magn3ts | Kravlin, I have the login phrase and I have the unwrapped passphrase... I just need the FNEK signature. | 04:19 |
| sacarlson | himel: sudo cd /mnt | 04:20 |
| Kravlin | magn3ts: good luck then :P. not sure how to recover that | 04:20 |
| maxwellian | russ5811: Yes, thanks. I messed around on my machine to figure some things out too, so we should be set. :) | 04:20 |
| himel | sacarlson: yes, and shows my all dir/files | 04:20 |
| magn3ts | Kravlin, omg, thanks anyway, just can't believe they ship this feature with absolutely no documentation to be found on how to undo it, especially considering its /encrypting/ my /data/. >_< | 04:20 |
| kisplit | I'm my laptop has dual GPUs: An intel card and an nvidia card. By default ubuntu was using the intel card. I installed the nvidia driver from restricted hardware but didn't like how fast my battery was draining. I uninstalled from restricted hardware but now when I lshw -C display I ONLY see the nvidia card with the driver=nouveau. How do I get back to the intel gpu :(? | 04:20 |
| sacarlson | himel: so it works? | 04:20 |
| maxwellian | russ5811: One more thing, do you have a different folder called Backup in your own home dir? | 04:21 |
| picard1421 | jewllow i need an invite to hardware | 04:21 |

| russ5811 | max: you mean the one I would normally see if not in root? | 04:21 |
| russ5811 | max: if so, then no i do not. | 04:21 |
| maxwellian | russ5811: Right, okay. | 04:21 |
| sacarlson | himel: but if it is mounted you can cd to the dir and view and manipulate the files | 04:21 |
| maxwellian | russ5811: Okay, so type 'sudo mv /root/Desktop/Backup ~russ5811/Backup' | 04:22 |
| himel | sacarlson: i can access this by terminal.why i cant by browser and why it shows this error msg? | 04:22 |

| bazhang | picard1421, /join #freenode for help | 04:23 |
| russ5811 | max: ok. trying now. | 04:23 |
| picard1421 | no but whats the thing to "login" | 04:23 |
| picard1421 | like /msg nickserv? | 04:23 |
| scarper | xangua, thanks! | 04:23 |
| xangua | !identify | picard1421 | 04:23 |
| ubottu | picard1421: You can identify automatically by using your NickServ password as the server password in your IRC client. When identifying manually, do NOT send the command from a channel's tab, or a typo may give away your password. If that happened, type « /msg NickServ set password <new-password> » in the server tab as soon as possible. | 04:23 |

| russ5811 | ok. | 04:27 |

| picard1400 | ok im registed | 04:28 |
| russ5811 | chmod then? | 04:28 |

| maxwellian | russ5811: We make them yours by typing (as your normal user, not root) 'sudo chown -R russ5811:russ5811 ~/Backup' | 04:29 |
| sacarlson | himel: yes but even admin only means you can have sudo priv to view and play from your acount without sudo you will have to sudo chown youruser:youruser /mnt | 04:30 |

| himel | sacarlson: do i reinstall my ubuntu | 04:38 |
| sacarlson | himel: if you want it to work at boot then there must be something wrong in /etc/fstab file pastebin that file | 04:38 |
| sacarlson | himel: that's an option if you don't have anything on this system yet. | 04:39 |

| maxwellian | russ5811: Great, but you should do a quick search on Unix file permissions. | 04:41 |
| himel | sacarlson: i go there wht i check | 04:42 |
| sacarlson | himel: look under your himel account user privliges make sure access external storage box is checked | 04:42 |
| russ5811 | Max: will do. Thanks... you guys have a great night/day. | 04:42 |

| Wingless | Links don't appear to be working on my machine: Ubuntu 8.10. When, in a terminal window, I create a file in a test directory with "touch file", create a link to it with "ln file link", confirm the file and the link's presence, and then remove the file with "rm file", the link remains. By default, ln creates hardlinks, so why does link remain when I delete file?? The same thing happens if I delete link instead of file. | 05:59 |
| pkores | Denyhost right. Thanks that's what I thought. | 05:59 |
| rww | Wingless: because that's the correct behavior for hard links? | 06:00 |
| Wingless | rww: so are you saying that the information here is not applicable to Ubuntu 8.10? http://dsl.org/cookbook/cookbook_8.html#SEC121 | 06:01 |
| Wingless | "This command makes a hard link from an existing file, `seattle', to a new file, `emerald-city'. You can read and edit file `emerald-city' just as you would `seattle'; any changes you make to `emerald-city' are also written to `seattle' (and vice versa). If you remove the file `emerald-city', file `seattle' is also removed. " | 06:01 |
| maco | Wingless: youre mixing up symlinks and hard links | 06:02 |
| Wingless | ls | 06:02 |
| rww | Wingless: if you removed all of the contents from 'seattle', they'd be removed from 'emerald-city' too. If you just rm seattle, emerald-city won't be deleted | 06:02 |

| maco | Wingless: may i suggest http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com/2009/11/links.html | 06:02 |

| bazhang | !unetbootin> enav | 06:03 |
| ubottu | enav, please see my private message | 06:03 |
| maco | Wingless: but your guide is describing symlinks while saying hardlinks | 06:03 |
| maco | Wingless: read my blog explanation instead ;-) | 06:03 |
| rww | Wingless: It's not that it's just wrong for Ubuntu, btw. The behavior is the same for all Linuxes I know of | 06:03 |
| rww | Wingless: by the way, Ubuntu 8.10 was End of Lifed back in April, so you're not getting security updates any more. I'd recommend upgrading asap. | 06:04 |
| Wingless | I see. well, I'll take a look at your blog entry and see if things make more sense | 06:04 |
| Wingless | as for my ubuntu version...is upgrading ubuntu itself difficult? | 06:04 |
| maco | !intrepid | Wingless | 06:05 |
| ubottu | Wingless: Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) was the ninth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 30th, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 06:05 |
| rww | Wingless: not particularly. I'll have the infobot send you instructions | 06:05 |
| maco | !eol | Wingless | 06:05 |
| ubottu | Wingless: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 06:05 |
| rww | ... or maco will ;P | 06:05 |
| maco | Wingless: there's a button you click that does it. but since it's EOL you have to do one step before that | 06:05 |
| maco | rww: i am faster than you! | 06:05 |
| === [WhiteKIBA] is now known as WhiteKIBA | ||
| Wingless | maco: I read your blog post. I didn't find the index example to be very informative, but if you're basically saying that hardlinks point to the data while symlinks point to the file name, which points to the data, then that makes sense. Is a hard link that points to some data any different from the "file name" that the data was originally given? | 06:14 |
| maco | Wingless: yes, thats exactly what its saying :) and no, its not any different. its just one piece of data having two names | 06:14 |
| Wingless | okay, so if I make a file by typing "touch foo", I've created what you could call a reference to some data somewhere. If I then create a hard link by typing "ln foo foolink", the new "hardlink" foolink is just another reference that points to the same data -- in other words, both foo and foolink are the same kind of thing (a reference), but foolink is referred to as a hard link simply because it wasn't the first one to be created? | 06:16 |
| maco | Wingless: exactly | 06:16 |
| Wingless | ok, cool | 06:16 |
| Wingless | thanks | 06:16 |
| Wingless | and so | 06:16 |
| Wingless | when I type "rm foo" or "rm foolink" I'm only removing that reference, not the data itself | 06:16 |
| Wingless | and so it's natural for foolink to remain if I remove foo, and for foo to remain if I remove foolink | 06:17 |
| Wingless | that makes sense. | 06:17 |
| maco | Wingless: yep. fun fact: even if you rm foo and theres no link the data still isnt *really* removed unless you've got your filesystem set to secure mode (at least in the case of ext3/4) | 06:17 |
| Wingless | BTW, I noticed that when I open up my test file foo in gedit by typing "gedit foo", another file of size 0 is created with the name "foo~" in the same directory. it's there after I close Gedit. what's up with that? | 06:18 |
| maco | Wingless: it becomes unfindable by normal means but forensics would still work. secure mode overwrites where the data was | 06:18 |
| Wingless | i see | 06:18 |
| Wingless | yeah. I've heard about that for Windows, but I see how that would work on Linux too | 06:18 |
| maco | Wingless: some editors make a backup of the original data and then write a new file then move the pointer to point to the new file, that way if theres a crash before write, at least the old data's still there | 06:19 |
| Wingless | yeah but why's gedit gotta clutter up my folders with foo~? is that unavoidable? :/ | 06:20 |
| booi | mine deletes the ~ file after you quit | 06:21 |
| rww | Wingless: there's an option in preferences to not make backup copies like that | 06:21 |
| Wingless | hmmmmm | 06:21 |
| rww | I'm not in GNOME, so I'm not sure where exactly it is. It's right by the autosave one, iirc | 06:21 |
| booi | the ~ file is only there while the file is open. | 06:21 |
| Wingless | My gedit seems to leave the files there even after I've closeed it | 06:21 |
| rww | booi: 8.10 leaves them there after you close gedit by default | 06:22 |
| Wingless | oh | 06:22 |
| rww | that wasn't changed until 10.04 I think | 06:22 |
| Wingless | So you have to change a preference in Gedit itself? | 06:22 |
| rww | yup | 06:22 |
| booi | rww: ah, i see. | 06:22 |
| booi | sounds like emacs. amirite guys? | 06:22 |
| rww | dunno, I use nano and mousepad ;P | 06:23 |

| iluminator101 | hey guys i get this error with my brother 7420 scanner failed to open device device ' brother2:bus2;dev1' invalid argument | 06:41 |
| maco | Connor1: check that DNS works? "host google.com" | 06:41 |
| Connor1 | tensorpudding no | 06:41 |
| tensorpudding | Is the website on your network? | 06:41 |
| Connor1 | rezolute no | 06:41 |
| Connor1 | tensorpudding no | 06:41 |
| tensorpudding | Okay, sounds like your DNS is not working. | 06:42 |

| Connor1 | My desktop is fine though | 06:42 |
| tensorpudding | What kind of errors are you getting? | 06:42 |
| tensorpudding | Connection timeouts? | 06:42 |
| Connor1 | None | 06:42 |
| maco | Connor1: check dns resolution | 06:42 |
| Connor1 | the website just loads forever | 06:42 |
| tensorpudding | That usually indicates a timeout. | 06:42 |

| tensorpudding | stupid dns making static hostnames hard to find | 06:43 |
| tensorpudding | If your network is fine, but DNS is down, it should show an error page with Access Denied. | 06:44 |

| ghufran | hi. im having trouble connecting to wireless networks. it doesnt work intermittently. it keeps asking me the security key but doesnt connect. the security key is fine and works with other non-ubuntu machines. sometimes restarting or disabling / enabling the network seems to make it work | 06:49 |

| hasenj | ghufran: I had a similar problem before | 06:50 |
| cablop | find a better driver for your wifi device | 06:50 |
| hasenj | ghufran: it was caused by a kernel installed from a ppa | 06:50 |

| AndroUser | I'm trying to use the alternate installer. but i keep getting the error "Failed to determine the codename for the release." | 06:52 |
| Wingless | If I install a program using apt-get (e.g., "sudo apt-get install lynx"), will Synaptic know about it? | 06:53 |
| AndroUser | I really need help, because my system is down untill i can get this installed. i assumed it was a problem with uname but it seems ok. | 06:53 |
| AndroUser | wingless, yes | 06:53 |
| Wingless | AndroUser: And I can remove the program safely and completely with either apt-get or synaptic? | 06:53 |
| AndroUser | it is stored in a central "database" on your system. | 06:55 |

| Ameise | I'm trying to compile a kernel (for VirtualBox use) that disables a lot of kernel-level debugging, and enables my CPUs optimizations. I put most of the SATA controllers into kernel (*) and the ext4, ramfs, and xfs file systems into the kernel. It builds, but when I boot | 07:04 |
| Ameise | it simply complains that it couldn't find the drive. | 07:04 |
| Ameise | any thoughts> | 07:04 |
| Ameise | im using the Ubuntu kernel from the Ubuntu GIT | 07:04 |
| dean[w] | Does anyone have any idea why skype for linux (latest version) would have context menus that are unreadable. For example when I right click a contact it is dark grey with black text which is unreadable. Any solutions would be great | 07:06 |
| n-iCe | dean[w]: change ubuntu theme | 07:06 |
| Ameise | it's frustrating me as the stock Ubuntu kernel works, and im using the Ubuntu configs | 07:06 |

| Ameise | im using GRUB2, so the mounts are set by UUID | 07:07 |

| vemon | anyone noticed that in lucid the windows don't stack the same way as in karmic? when i open four terminals, they don't open up nicely tiled and centered | 07:08 |
| N3VV3K | mine seem to open nicely | 07:08 |
| N3VV3K | vemon | 07:09 |
| vemon | instead i get two terminal windows next to each other to upper left corner of the screen, one in the lower left corner and one in the lower right corner | 07:09 |
| vemon | N3VV3K, hmh.. i wonder what's wrong with my setup then | 07:09 |
| Ameise | no one here who does kernel builds? | 07:09 |
| vemon | i get the same behavior with to comuters both running almost-out-of-the-box lucid | 07:09 |
| N3VV3K | i have a dual monitor setup | 07:09 |
| N3VV3K | i dont think that would make a difference | 07:10 |
| vemon | well it shouldn't | 07:10 |
| N3VV3K | does anyone know how i can have two different backgrounds | 07:10 |
| === nix is now known as Guest81453 | ||
| vemon | i figured it out! it's the desktop effects which cause this bad tiling behavior. when i turn effects off, i get nice tiling of windows | 07:11 |
| dean[w] | n-iCe, im using stock ubuntu theme | 07:11 |
| vemon | otherwise the windows seem to open up pretty randomly | 07:11 |
| dean[w] | context menus work in all other apps fine | 07:11 |
| N3VV3K | there must be some setting vemon | 07:11 |
| vemon | N3VV3K, yes i need to check the settings of compiz | 07:12 |

| Ameise | i'm not confident in it's success though | 07:12 |
| N3VV3K | im not to familiar with compiling | 07:12 |
| Ameise | well | 07:13 |
| Ameise | the compiling isn't the issue. | 07:13 |
| Ameise | it succeeds in that. | 07:13 |
| Ameise | booting the image is the issue | 07:13 |
| N3VV3K | im a little higher than an intermediate user but im not advanced yet | 07:13 |
| N3VV3K | what are you compiling | 07:13 |
| vemon | Ameise, do you also create an initrd image? | 07:13 |
| Ameise | Linux Kernel, Ubuntu flavor | 07:13 |
| Ameise | yes | 07:13 |
| vemon | ah, so you compile it from the ubuntu sources? | 07:13 |
| N3VV3K | when you say compiling what do you mean | 07:13 |
| Ameise | yes | 07:13 |
| vemon | should be easy enough | 07:13 |
| Ameise | it compiles, GRUB2 sees it | 07:14 |
| Ameise | then it won't boot. | 07:14 |
| vemon | what does it say? | 07:14 |
| Ameise | im recompiling... let you know the exact error when it's done | 07:14 |
| Ameise | mainly that it couldn't read te drive. | 07:14 |
| N3VV3K | is it better to compile ubuntu from source rather then using a normal install disk | 07:14 |
| Ameise | it timed out on it | 07:14 |
| Ameise | there were no drives listed in /dev/ | 07:14 |
| Ameise | i had the same problem at work today, but at work I tried compiling from the latest vanilla kernel | 07:15 |
| vemon | Ameise, that's what my realtime kernel also complains when launched from grub, but it still works | 07:15 |
| Ameise | mine complains, and exit causes a kernel panic. | 07:15 |
| vemon | no wait... the error was something like "failed to mount none in /dev" | 07:15 |
| Ameise | on this system, quick booting is necessary so I can't have a kernel that requires manual commands to start also | 07:15 |
| Ameise | mine can't find the drive, period | 07:16 |
| n-iCe | Hello! is there any way to know where was my Ubuntu installation done? | 07:16 |
| Ameise | at work I use it for actual work, so I need a fast kernel (it'd be nice) | 07:16 |
| vemon | Ameise, you should compare the grub.cfg listings of a working and non-working kernels | 07:16 |
| Ameise | here, I use it to switch between copying files and testing images. | 07:16 |
| Ameise | i only changed... maybe 7 things | 07:16 |

| grendal_prime | do you have any idea how many people are developing apps based on that kernel now. | 07:21 |
| Ameise | why not? | 07:21 |
| grendal_prime | its bound to be confusing. | 07:22 |
| andyis | hello | 07:22 |
| Ameise | well | 07:22 |
| andyis | Also, its a KERNEL | 07:22 |
| andyis | Its meant to be an interface into machine code | 07:22 |
| Ameise | linux is a product of million monkeys syndrome | 07:22 |
| Ameise | andyis incorrect abstraction, but close. | 07:22 |
| tensorpudding | The kernel is important. | 07:22 |
| Ameise | i could certainly go write an application for Win32 in machine code. | 07:22 |
| andyis | Well, yeah | 07:22 |
| andyis | Sorry | 07:22 |
| grendal_prime | dude...you should do that | 07:22 |
| Ameise | the kernel is the interface between your operating system runtimes and the BIOS | 07:22 |
| grendal_prime | run allong now and do that. | 07:23 |
| Ameise | im already a systems engineer - why would I want to punish myself and do that? | 07:23 |
| andyis | But its farther doen than almost anything you will use | 07:23 |
| Ameise | err | 07:23 |
| Ameise | I write kernels and drivers for a living. | 07:23 |
| grendal_prime | why are you here then...go do it al yourself | 07:23 |
| andyis | Oh | 07:23 |
| grendal_prime | in the mean time | 07:23 |
| Ameise | because you normally use a stable, proven system to develop off of | 07:23 |
| andyis | Well, Leave me and my PDS 3 and PPI ruleset language then | 07:23 |
| N3VV3K | does anyone use bsd? | 07:24 |
| grendal_prime | lots of people | 07:24 |
| Ameise | linux/GCC tends to be better at doing system-level work than Win32/VS | 07:24 |
| Ameise | :P | 07:24 |
| grendal_prime | i would not be one of them. | 07:24 |
| N3VV3K | is it mostly for server use | 07:24 |

| tensorpudding | if you're using Vbox | 07:28 |
| tensorpudding | You can have a shared folder | 07:28 |
| tensorpudding | You need to install Guest Additions for it though | 07:28 |
| garry | i have 2 system one is having windows and other is having linux | 07:28 |
| grendal_prime | dont be such a puss ...buy yourself a filler and be done with it | 07:29 |
| grendal_prime | hahaha | 07:29 |
| garry | how i share file between them | 07:29 |
| tensorpudding | garry: Read the VirtualBox documentation for shared folders | 07:29 |
| grendal_prime | install webmin on the linux box and set it up as cifs filler. | 07:29 |
| tensorpudding | Install the VirtualBox Guest Additions for Windows inside the VM, then configure the shared folders | 07:29 |
| grendal_prime | you could also just get winscp on the windows box | 07:30 |

| grendal_prime | but if you need a filler you need to set up a samba/cifs server. pretty simple with webmin..alot of things get very easy with that tool.. | 07:30 |
| roccity_ | Thopter, try running firefox and the file from a terminal | 07:31 |
| grendal_prime | its dangerouse but..you can lock it down and make it pretty safe..and its pretty easy to figer out. | 07:31 |
| garry | i have samba but i dont know how to share files | 07:31 |
| roccity_ | open a terminal and type firefox and file.html where file.html is the file | 07:31 |
| tensorpudding | There's really no reason to setup Samba for this situation, just use the VirtualBox guest additions... | 07:31 |

| garry | ya i open server | 07:32 |
| Thopter | roccity_: I know how to get the file open in firefox, I'm looking for a way to undo what has happened to my system, short of a reboot. the intefering behaviour continues indefinitely | 07:32 |
| grendal_prime | look at samba section. | 07:32 |
| grendal_prime | its pretty intuitive | 07:33 |
| grendal_prime | create a share...open it to everyone, then browse to the share from the windows box. | 07:33 |

| grendal_prime | grsync | 07:35 |
| grendal_prime | if you like clicky things grsync | 07:36 |
| Thopter | roccity_: yes, any html file, I've tried several | 07:36 |
| KE1HA | roccity_, Gftp is another option. | 07:37 |
| KE1HA | but I prefer rsync, it's best for minimal transfer times. | 07:37 |

| tpmccallum_ | ok so mysql cant do that in the mysql console | 07:45 |
| tpmccallum_ | I have never used postgres | 07:45 |
| hyu | help | 07:46 |
| jhattara | does grsync just synchronize folders or does it give prompt on what to synchronize ? | 07:46 |
| grendal_prime | you could...you would just be writing a loop in mysql...some sort of glue language...like..well see thats why i would use postgresql. you can use just about any lang as a procedural lang wit that db server. | 07:46 |
| sacarlson | tpmccallum_ maybe look at this http://rubylearning.com/blog/2007/05/14/ruby-mysql-tutorial/ | 07:47 |
| grendal_prime | tpmccallum_, it kinda depends on the data as well..i mean..does it need to be randomized? | 07:47 |
| sacarlson | tpmccallum_ ruby is my scripting tool of choice with all kinds of cool libs | 07:47 |
| grendal_prime | or...normalized...or | 07:48 |
| grendal_prime | ruby? | 07:48 |
| somethinginteres | is there a way to mount any and all HDDs on boot? | 07:48 |
| grendal_prime | i dont know..kinda new on the scene..Perl..php, bash..they been around a pretty long time...alot of libs for them and..well nice simple lang to. Python before ruby any day..again thats just personal pref though | 07:49 |
| grendal_prime | perl...well what can yousay...spend a few months learning it you will never use anything else. | 07:49 |
| sacarlson | grendal_prime: tpmccallum_ ya ruby is cool but php is cool too. like you said prime depends on what you need to do | 07:49 |
| grendal_prime | somethinginteres, ya look int /etc/fstab | 07:50 |
| andyis | learn shell script :P | 07:50 |
| tpmccallum_ | awesome thanks all, I already know Python quite well so I might just use that cheers :) | 07:50 |
| andyis | Also, learn HTML | 07:50 |
| andyis | It should only take a day if you are familliar with programming languages | 07:51 |
| sacarlson | andyis: shell scirpt or bash ruby perl php they all work and they all almost look the same. if you can read one not hard to learn the other | 07:51 |
| Ember[1] | is there anything i need to do so that autologin doesn't fail when i boot from a ubuntu cd? | 07:52 |
| andyis | Lol. I'm learning Pascal :P | 07:52 |
| andyis | Already know a lot of shell script/bash | 07:53 |
| andyis | And even how to use vim >.< | 07:53 |
| andyn | erlang (hello mike!) | 07:53 |
| sacarlson | andyis: does pascal have these cool libs that keep growing? like ruby or perl? | 07:53 |
| andyis | It has Skype :P | 07:54 |
| sacarlson | andyis: so does ruby | 07:54 |
| sacarlson | andyis: I had ruby sms me | 07:54 |
| andyis | Also it has better variable security than C++ generally. | 07:54 |
| tpmccallum_ | somethinginters take a look at using labels for your drives also, this helps identify them if they get removed and refitted. I create labels for external drives and usb sticks etc when I first use them. That way if they are connected they can be mapped to a specific folder by listing them in the /etc/fstab file | 07:55 |
| sacarlson | andyis: I'm not a bank I don't need securty I leave that to linux for that | 07:55 |
| robertd | having a problem with screen res .. have a 24" lcd mon. capable of1920x1080 and can only get full screen at 1680x1050 clips the top and bottom of wall paper | 07:55 |
| andyis | -.- | 07:55 |
| andyis | What is "a"+1 then? | 07:55 |
| robertd | hope I'm in the correct area | 07:55 |
| andyis | lol you are | 07:55 |
| robertd | k' | 07:56 |
| robertd | problem is I only get hdmi sound using ati fglrx driver | 07:56 |
| andyis | And comparing it to Python, Ruby, PHP, etc isnt really all that great, its far more like C | 07:56 |
| sacarlson | andyis: I'm too lazy I want it done in one line that's what ruby can do | 07:57 |
| tensorpudding | Perl can do that too | 07:57 |
| robertd | tis the loss of sound that drove me that direction | 07:57 |
| robertd | any thoughts | 07:58 |
| tensorpudding | You get no guarantees on how readable that line is though | 07:58 |
| robertd | either it's not a good question or it's a bad time for help | 07:59 |
| somethinginteres | grendal_prime: thanks | 08:00 |
| sacarlson | robertd: sound like at least you got it working that's more than most can say | 08:00 |
| robertd | LOL I guess so actually the install went rather easy | 08:01 |
| tpmccallum_ | when you guys answer each other do you type the name with a colon or is there a way to reply by clicking etc | 08:01 |
| robertd | just not the res I want for this editing htpc | 08:01 |
| vemon | tpmccallum_: in irssi you just type a couple of the first letters of the name and press tab | 08:02 |
| grendal_prime | somethinginteres, for what? | 08:02 |
| robertd | used the pop up window asking if I wanted the Propietary driver .. x64 sys | 08:02 |
| grendal_prime | oh fstab stuff | 08:02 |
| robertd | and some adjustments | 08:03 |
| tpmccallum_ | vemon: HAHA thanks that works awesome | 08:03 |
| robertd | guess I'll wait for the 10.8 cat and just deal with it for now | 08:04 |
| tpmccallum_ | vemon: I am using a firefox plug in called chatzilla but the tab thing also works :) | 08:04 |
| vemon | tpmccallum_: i guess it's quite a standard way to do it :) | 08:04 |
| sacarlson | vemon: ya I never knew that cool, I've been typing the whole thing with the colen, and I've been here for days | 08:04 |
| robertd | unless there is a clean way to revert to opne sources ...with sound | 08:04 |
| robertd | hdmi conncetion | 08:05 |
| sacarlson | you never stop learning | 08:05 |
| bj0 | is it possible to fix a package on your hdd install from a livecd? | 08:05 |
| thalal | quit | 08:06 |
| luftikuss | bj0: Yes. | 08:07 |
| robertd | oh well I'll come back when I can parse the question clearer | 08:07 |
| caddyjoe77 | hi all | 08:09 |
| caddyjoe77 | i have some weird behavior going on after the latest firefox on my ubuntustudio 10.04 box | 08:10 |
| caddyjoe77 | it looks like a javascript issue....not positive | 08:10 |
| caddyjoe77 | can someone help? | 08:10 |
| sacarlson | caddyjoe77: some site not resolving? | 08:11 |
| caddyjoe77 | no not at all...DNS is workeing great. When i go to google for instance, the search results get very squished, almost like i may be missing a font package perhaps | 08:11 |
| caddyjoe77 | very strange lemme tell ya | 08:12 |
| adalal | hey, when i 'shut down' my computer, it restarts... any idea? | 08:12 |
| caddyjoe77 | i went back to the old firefox, same issue...thats why i think its perhaps a font package or maybe javascript is being interpreted wrong | 08:13 |
| Aemaeth | could you give a screenshot of what you mean? | 08:13 |
| sacarlson | caddyjoe77: and the http page your are looking at | 08:14 |
| caddyjoe77 | hey adalal...a workaround can possibly be for you to do sudo init 5 in the terminla which is the command to shut down | 08:14 |
| adalal | caddyjoe77: thanks... any reason as to why this is happening? | 08:14 |
| federico | ciao | 08:14 |

| Jigal | can someone tell me where to dwonload 9.10 in stead of 10.04. | 08:16 |
| tensorpudding | Jigal: Why do you want 9.10 instead of 10.04? | 08:16 |
| sacarlson | caddyjoe77: look readable maybe font is a bit off. maybe just <ctl> + make it biger so you can read it | 08:17 |
| * prince_jammys hands the annual flood award | 08:17 | |
| Jigal | tensorpudding, because i developed a site under 9.10 it worked perfectly. Now busy 2 weeks in 10.04 can't get it working. I think it might have to do with os. So i want to test that. Thats why I want 9.10 | 08:17 |
| tensorpudding | Jigal: http://releases.ubuntu.com/ | 08:18 |
| jhattara | found my synchronize over ssh/ftp tool: Krusader | 08:18 |
| caddyjoe77 | tried that already....its almost like mozilla has decided to quite reading javascript | 08:18 |
| Jigal | tensorpudding, tnx | 08:18 |
| tensorpudding | It might that some software your site depends on has a buggy version in 10.04, I suppose. | 08:18 |
| bj0 | luftikuss, how? just chroot? | 08:18 |
| bj0 | is that enough? | 08:18 |
| tensorpudding | Huh, they still have some really outdated LTS versions there | 08:19 |
| sacarlson | caddyjoe77: maybe your sans-serif;font-size:15px font is bad | 08:19 |
| tensorpudding | Dapper Drake | 08:19 |
| caddyjoe77 | another interesting tidbit, and why i think its javascript related...is that some javascript type menus are blanked out | 08:19 |
| caddyjoe77 | so i am using chromium for now, as at least the google results are proper | 08:20 |
| sacarlson | caddyjoe77: can't you disable java and see if it's different? | 08:20 |
| caddyjoe77 | but the firefox is bugging me... | 08:20 |
| staar2 | ok how to make sure that swamp is used ? | 08:21 |
| sacarlson | caddyjoe77: try chrome | 08:21 |
| staar2 | i just qparted the swamp section | 08:21 |

| shayan | How can I install my modem in ubuntu 10.04? | 08:21 |
| caddyjoe77 | do you know what font package sacarlson? | 08:21 |
| Aemaeth | have you tried backing up your settings/profile in firefox, then complete removal and re-install? | 08:21 |
| caddyjoe77 | im using chromium...thats not the same? | 08:22 |
| sacarlson | caddyjoe77: the one that has sans-serif in it? | 08:22 |
| caddyjoe77 | hi Aemeuth....yes i have somepletely removed firefox...to include a dpkg -P to purge it....still the same | 08:22 |
| caddyjoe77 | yes sacarlson please | 08:22 |
| luftikuss | bj0: Usually this is not enough. I rather thought that you deinstall the package and reinstall it. | 08:24 |
| caddyjoe77 | i can try removing the ttf-freefont package | 08:24 |
| caddyjoe77 | and trying again | 08:25 |
| caddyjoe77 | same thing | 08:26 |
| Aemaeth | is there a way to get curl or wget to scan a page for files within a certain domain while excluding file names of a certain type? | 08:26 |
| bj0 | luftikuss, thats what i want to do, but i can't boot off the harddrive without this package, so i have to boot from a livecd | 08:27 |
| bj0 | if i boot from a livecd, mount my drive, and chroot to that mountpoint, can i fix it there? | 08:28 |
| sacarlson | caddyjoe77: from what my research shows is that sans-serif font problem is part of qt4. I guess you can install microsofts fonts to fix it but I can't find the package | 08:29 |
| caddyjoe77 | hmm..well i couldnt find anything so at least you found something :) | 08:30 |
| caddyjoe77 | i will try that | 08:30 |

| rocket161 | Hello all | 08:31 |
| saravan | my movie player is not working properly | 08:33 |
| saravan | voice is not coming any body help me please | 08:33 |
| DarsVaeda | can i rename localhost to something else and how? | 08:34 |
| ikonia | DarsVaeda: you don't change localhost, it's always there | 08:34 |
| ikonia | DarsVaeda: you can change your machines hostname | 08:34 |
| caddyjoe77 | DarsVaeda: how so?? you ,ean in your hosts file? | 08:34 |
| saravan | in my movie player voice is not coming help me some one | 08:34 |
| ikonia | caddyjoe77: no you don't | 08:34 |
| ikonia | caddyjoe77: you don't change loclahost | 08:34 |
| Ameisen | Does anyone here know what hardware virtualbox emulates | 08:34 |
| caddyjoe77 | i wasnt telling him to change localhost | 08:34 |
| ikonia | Ameisen: x86 | 08:34 |
| caddyjoe77 | i was trying to get more info :) | 08:34 |
| Ameisen | i want to make sure i have hardware support for it enabled in the kernel | 08:34 |
| Ameisen | that's not hardware | 08:35 |
| Ameisen | that's a platform. | 08:35 |
| DarsVaeda | i dont want to change it | 08:35 |
| sacarlson | caddyjoe77: I found it ttf-mscorefonts-installer | 08:35 |
| DarsVaeda | i want to rename it | 08:35 |
| ikonia | DarsVaeda: you don't rename localhost (renaming it is changing it) | 08:35 |
| DarsVaeda | http://localhost to http://foobar or something | 08:35 |
| sacarlson | caddyjoe77: I already had it installed | 08:35 |
| ikonia | Ameisen: ask the guys in #vbox then | 08:35 |
| caddyjoe77 | thanks sacarlson.... | 08:35 |
| ikonia | DarsVaeda: ok - so that's the http url | 08:35 |
| caddyjoe77 | lemme try that | 08:35 |
| ikonia | DarsVaeda: that works by changing your apache config to listen for traffic on a different name/ip mapping rather than the default which is localhost (127.0.0.1) | 08:36 |
| DarsVaeda | i guess localhost is just an identifier for 127:0:0:1 | 08:36 |
| ikonia | DarsVaeda: that's right | 08:36 |
| DarsVaeda | see what i want to do (if possible) change that identifier | 08:36 |
| Viking667 | quick query about openssh - I've got a userprofile (a .ssh directory of keys) that I share amongst multiple machines, and all of those machines can ssh to each other, except seemingly when I'm trying to ssh _to_ the ubuntu machine from another Ubuntu machine. | 08:36 |
| ikonia | DarsVaeda: however changing 127.0.0.1 to be something other than localhost is a very bad idea | 08:36 |
| DarsVaeda | not the ip or something | 08:36 |
| adalal | on a command line, how do you insert a value by reading it off a file.. ? as in.. i want to do a wakeonlan <HWAddress>, but the hardware address is located in a file | 08:36 |
| Viking667 | I can't quite explain it, but I would like to know what I need to look at, to work this out. | 08:37 |
| saravan | i recently installed ubuntu 9.10 i installed almost all packages still im not able to play vedios any one help me | 08:37 |
| sacarlson | Ameisen: it seems to mostly emulate the real hardware you have on your system | 08:37 |
| ikonia | Viking667: ssh -v (or -vv, or -vvv) for more info on the ssh connection | 08:37 |
| caddyjoe77 | that did it sacarlson | 08:37 |
| KE1HA | -vvv be prepared for allot of info :-) | 08:37 |
| sacarlson | caddyjoe77: cool ay | 08:38 |
| caddyjoe77 | thanks for finding that package......i had it installed but a purge and add fixed the issue | 08:38 |
| Aemaeth | saravan, medibuntu? | 08:38 |
| sacarlson | caddyjoe77: now stop blaming java | 08:38 |
| ikonia | Ameisen: ask in #vbox | 08:38 |
| caddyjoe77 | haha i wasnt blaming them :) | 08:38 |
| sacarlson | Ameisen: or private me | 08:38 |
| Wingless | When the shell tells me: "The program 'sview' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install slurm-llnl-sview", how does it know what the package name is? When I type something random like "gobbledeygooksifjsinioanfandkfj", it just says "bash: gobbledeygooksifjsinioanfandkfj: command not found" without telling me how I might go about getting it. | 08:40 |
| adalal | on a command line, how do you insert a value by reading it off a file.. ? as in.. i want to do a wakeonlan <HWAddress>, but the hardware address is located in a file | 08:40 |
| maco | Wingless: a very large file that lists all that stuff | 08:40 |
| ikonia | Wingless: there are cache files | 08:40 |
| saravan | Aemaeth, i didt get u dear | 08:40 |
| Wingless | How/when are those cache files update? | 08:40 |
| Wingless | *updated | 08:40 |
| Viking667 | doesn't seem to accept that the key is valid, and I've no idea why not. | 08:40 |
| ikonia | Wingless: part of the regular update process | 08:40 |
| Wingless | I see | 08:40 |
| Wingless | thanks | 08:41 |
| === AndIrc is now known as Guest74166 | ||
| Viking667 | I rather feel like regenerating keys all over, and seeing if that makes any significant difference. Somehow I doubt it. | 08:41 |
| Wingless | so like -- I don't need to open synaptic to confirm that there isn't something else I might be missing related to sview? bash knows all? | 08:41 |
| Viking667 | apt-cache showpkg sview | 08:41 |
| Viking667 | perhaps? | 08:41 |
| saravan | Aemaeth, reply dear | 08:42 |
| Viking667 | and no, bash just uses functions (now I've read your question correctly) | 08:42 |
| Aemaeth | saravan, not sure if ubuntu still requires it, but medibuntu used to have to be in your software sources to run some videos | 08:42 |
| maco | Wingless: the command-not-found package provides that feature | 08:43 |
| Viking667 | Those functions - one of them has a wee database of commands that ARE in packages, so if your typing results in something that could match but isn't on your system at the moment, it makes an educated guess and suggests the package name | 08:43 |
| adalal | Aemaeth: it does... depending on the type of videos... or atleast install the restricted packages | 08:43 |
| Wingless | maco: I think you replied earlier to my question about apt-get vs. synaptic, by the way. If apt-get and synaptic are not the same program, how do they communicate with one another to let each other know what's being installed or removed? | 08:43 |
| saravan | Aemaeth, how to install it | 08:43 |
| maco | Wingless: synaptic is a gui that uses libapt | 08:44 |
| Aemaeth | google up medibuntu the first link will have better instructions than i could give | 08:44 |
| sacarlson | saravan: you need to install this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats | 08:44 |
| * Viking667 likes synaptic more than adept. | 08:45 | |
| Wingless | and apt-get also uses libapt, then? | 08:45 |
| sacarlson | medibuntu might still work but it's the old way | 08:45 |
| hunterm | libapt uses apt-get, AFAIK | 08:45 |
| Viking667 | hunterm: err, you meant that the other way around, I'm sure? | 08:46 |
| hunterm | yeah :) | 08:46 |
| hunterm | :P | 08:46 |
| hunterm | mixed that up ;) | 08:46 |
| adalal | ... anyone here knows how to insert a value on the commandline by reading off a file? as in.. to enter 'wakeonlan <HWAddr>, whereas the HWAddr is in a text file | 08:46 |
| saravan | sacarison, what is that dear | 08:46 |
| maco | adalal: wakeonlan < yourfile | 08:46 |
| Viking667 | #bash describes that | 08:46 |
| administrator_ | login | 08:47 |
| maco | Wingless: im not sure how libapt and apt-get are implemented, but suffice that they share a database | 08:47 |
| administrator_ | 无聊阿 | 08:47 |
| Viking667 | -ENOSUCHUSER | 08:47 |
| Aemaeth | sacarlson, guess i'm out of the loop | 08:47 |
| adalal | maco: it shows up as an error :S | 08:47 |
| Wingless | okay, cool. thanks :D | 08:47 |
| sacarlson | Aemaeth: no that still works I think | 08:48 |
| maco | adalal: is more command going after the HWAddr ? | 08:48 |
| Aemaeth | anyone know enough about curl or wget to want to help me with something? some kind of setup for constantly scanning a site and downloading files with prerequisites? | 08:48 |
| adalal | maco: nope | 08:48 |
| maco | adalal: or is it going at the end of the line? | 08:48 |
| Viking667 | Aemaeth: "constantly"? _how_ constantly? | 08:48 |
| sacarlson | Aemaeth: I'm just lazy and find easier ways | 08:48 |
| adalal | maco: end of a line, but i will need to know how to do it in the middle of a line for other commands | 08:48 |

| hunterm | adalal: then, wakeonlan $file | 08:50 |
| adalal | sacarlson: thanks... i'll look into it, i just wanted it so that i dno't have to remember and or copy the HWAddr all the time... | 08:50 |
| Aemaeth | Viking667, i'd be happy with a quick mirror | 08:50 |
| adalal | maco: thanks | 08:50 |

| Viking667 | Aemaeth: As I said, how often do you intend to "mirror"? Daily? Hourly? | 08:50 |
| Aemaeth | daily | 08:50 |
| adalal | hunterm: that didn't work... :S | 08:51 |
| Viking667 | Some organisations don't look kindly upon constant prods | 08:51 |
| Aemaeth | true | 08:51 |
| adalal | maco: okay.. i'll look into bash scripting i guess | 08:51 |
| Viking667 | adalal: As I said, go check #bash out | 08:51 |
| Viking667 | there's a good FAQ in their /topic | 08:51 |

| Aemaeth | but i wouldn't have to hit the same servers twice, there's a program i can already do this with, i just have to run windows in virtualbox, but i'll just research some till i can do in a command line program already installed | 08:54 |
| Viking667 | Aemaeth: hang on. What is it you're trying to do? Mirror a site that doesn't provide a mirroring service? | 08:54 |
| Aemaeth | is that some violation? | 08:54 |
| Viking667 | Possibly, yeah. | 08:55 |
| Aemaeth | that seems kinda like saying i couldn't save the pics manually, even though they'd be in my cache if i manually clicked them | 08:55 |
| Aemaeth | no? | 08:55 |
| Viking667 | Doubtful, but it depends upon the content as to whether the company concerned is going to be bothered by you doing what amounts to a complete copy of their site. | 08:55 |
| Viking667 | that's why "wget" was written to respect robot.txt rules that websites often post. | 08:56 |
| maco | Aemaeth: the trouble is often that automated crawlers end up sending requests *so quickly* that it ends up looking like an attempted Denial of Service | 08:56 |
| Viking667 | I've been the "mirror a site" route... I make sure I don't do _that_ more than ... ooo, weekly? | 08:56 |

| Take0n | Hello folks. I need help uninstalling and reinstalling vlc. I get errors when trying to upgrade it.. I remove a PPA I used for the latest version but I still can't fix the problem.. when I try to upgrade I get "E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f" so I use apt-get -f upgrade but then I get this: http://pastebin.com/A05paFeP | 09:17 |
| israfel | Take0n, sudo atp-get remove vlc not wotking? | 09:19 |
| Take0n | israfel, no I get the same errors (almost) | 09:19 |
| Take0n | it still tells me to use -f install | 09:19 |
| Take0n | but nothing happens..I get the same error then again | 09:20 |
| ubuntu | hallo | 09:21 |
| halden | g jdk | 09:21 |
| halden | ops sorry, wrong keyboard :/ | 09:21 |
| Take0n | I can't install anything or remove anything or upgrade anything :\ | 09:22 |
| Take0n | I tried to fix the broken packages using synaptic but with no luck.. | 09:22 |
| israfel | Take0n, try autoremove It removes all unsed packages. | 09:23 |
| Joni | I am having problems with my ubuntu install. I am running it in vmware. I was showing someone how to use workspaces and we accidently set the number to 36, now i cannot change it back to 4. Also none of my applications show control buttons | 09:23 |
| Joni | any help | 09:23 |
| israfel | You may have a package in the list that's interfering with the install/removal | 09:24 |
| Take0n | I can't.. I still get the same error | 09:24 |
| israfel | Take0n, apt-get deselect-upgrades | 09:24 |
| Joni | it is ubuntu 10.04 | 09:25 |
| Jordan_U | Take0n: What about "sudo apt-get remove libavutil49 " | 09:25 |
| Take0n | first I get this error when trying to autoremove etc. http://pastebin.com/dTfkZC0D | 09:25 |
| mathk | hi how do I preserve the color in the find command ? For exemple with the --exec grep .. option | 09:25 |
| israfel | Jordan_U, I was assuming that file was the upgrade that was selected. If it's installed or now, I'm not sure. | 09:26 |
| Take0n | israfel, I get E: Invalid operation deselect-upgrades | 09:26 |
| israfel | Take0n, oops, dselect not deselect | 09:26 |
| israfel | Take0n, use apt-get --help to see all the commands. You can make better log files this way too. | 09:27 |
| Take0n | israfel, E: Invalid operation dselect-upgrades | 09:27 |
| israfel | Take0n, ug, my bad again.. not plural | 09:27 |
| Joni | does anyone have any clues? | 09:27 |
| Jordan_U | israfel: What exactly are you hoping that dselect-upgrade (the proper option) will accomplish? | 09:27 |
| Joni | or ideas about how to troubleshoot this issue? | 09:28 |
| Take0n | Jordan_U, I get almost same errors as the pastebin paste I did.. | 09:28 |
| Take0n | israfel, it won't work :\ | 09:28 |
| israfel | JOni, so you have 36 workspaces? | 09:28 |
| Take0n | I just want to get rid of the whole vlc thing and move on... I don't use it anyway :\ | 09:28 |
| Joni | israfel yep, and I cannot change the number back to 4 | 09:28 |
| Jordan_U | Take0n: Do you still get an error about the file /usr/lib/libavutil.so.50 ? | 09:29 |
| Take0n | Jordan_U, yes | 09:29 |
| israfel | Jordan_U, He said he tried to do an upgrade first and it failed, so I wanted him to dselect them | 09:29 |
| jie | 456456456 | 09:29 |
| jie | erter ter tert | 09:29 |
| Joni | israfel, it is really annoying and there are some other issues as well. I do no know if they are related. | 09:29 |
| Jordan_U | israfel: "dselect" is short for debian-select, a utility often used when installing a new system. It has nothing to do with "deselecting" a package. Please don't give advice about commands / topics you don't fully understand. | 09:30 |
| Joni | I have tried rebooting and running the recovery mode, but vmware tools decides to boot before I can use the menu to use dpkg to fix broken packages. | 09:31 |
| intgr | Hi, does 10.04 have ext4 "discard"/TRIM support? | 09:31 |
| israfel | Joni, I think you just need to right-click the workspace switcher on the gnome panel and hit properties. | 09:31 |
| Joni | israfel, I am | 09:31 |
| intgr | ISTR somewhere that it should, but I can't find any documentation | 09:31 |
| shadowfax | hi all | 09:32 |
| Joni | israfel, I can change it all I want and nothing happens. and then I lose the ability to change the number all I get is changing rows. | 09:32 |
| Ameisen | what's the proper binary to make an initd other than mkinitramfs on ubuntu | 09:32 |
| Take0n | it drives me crazy.. | 09:32 |
| israfel | JOni, make sure you're not on one of those higher workspaces, set it to a lower value and restart the GUI | 09:32 |
| shadowfax | i can install php5-dev but, i have error: Package php5-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package | 09:32 |
| shadowfax | i use 10.04 | 09:33 |
| glaucous | I'm having a "problem" while developing a C++ game. CodeBlocks IDE compiles the binary file to one directory, but leaves the image-files in another. How do I run the binary file and set the working directory to another? | 09:33 |
| glaucous | Obviously it works if I move the image files to the binary. | 09:33 |
| mingming_ | dsakf;a | 09:34 |
| mingming_ | afla;lf | 09:34 |
| Take0n | how do I clear the /var/cache directory?? | 09:35 |
| Joni | israfel, no good I cannot change the workspace either | 09:35 |
| Take0n | it's realy really annoying I can't do anything.. :¿ | 09:35 |
| dominicdinada | Take0n: bleachbit | 09:35 |
| dominicdinada | ? | 09:35 |
| israfel | glaucous, Is the problem related to that specific IDE? You may need to tweak the settings to have the binaries put in the proper place. | 09:35 |
| levene | the file /etc/cron.daily/beagle-crawl-system exists on my system, although beagle is not installed. it makes cron send me an error message every day. should I just delete it? | 09:35 |
| Take0n | dominicdinada, ? | 09:36 |
| dominicdinada | Take0n: I use bleachbit | 09:36 |
| glaucous | Not a problem with the IDE specifically. But there should be a way to execute most program and set a specific working directory. israfel | 09:36 |
| levene | and shouldn't this file have been removed when beagle was removed? | 09:36 |
| Take0n | dominicdinada, I am not able to install or remove or upgrade anything.. I want a command to try and remove the cache so that I can try again :\ | 09:36 |
| israfel | Joni, The keyboard shortcut to change workspaces is Ctrl+Alt Left/Right cursor. | 09:37 |
| dominicdinada | !cache | Take0n | 09:37 |
| Take0n | dominicdinada, didn't get anything (should I?) | 09:38 |
| israfel | Take0n, So nothing, even unrelated stuff, won't install or remove? | 09:38 |
| Take0n | israfel, no it keeps telling me to use -f install but when I do so I still get errors about vlc-nox and unmet dependencies etc. | 09:39 |
| dominicdinada | Take0n: no the bot didnt have anything on cache | 09:39 |
| dominicdinada | although google would be your answer on that one | 09:39 |
| littlepenguin | take0n you have activated all repositories? | 09:39 |
| Take0n | I try to fix broken packages with synaptic but I get a message box that tells me to run apt-get -f install | 09:39 |
| israfel | Take0n, You may have a corrupted package list. I've seen this problem twice in here. | 09:39 |
| Take0n | and so on | 09:39 |
| Take0n | israfel, what do I do in that case? | 09:40 |
| Take0n | I am about to throw my laptop out the window!!! | 09:40 |
| dominicdinada | Take0n: haha | 09:40 |
| israfel | Take0n, let me look up the solution quick. | 09:40 |
| Take0n | littlepenguin, yes.. I think the problem was caused due to a ppa I had for a new vlc version but I think I had to remove the old vlc before trying to install the new or something | 09:40 |
| mlk | hello | 09:40 |
| chadi | when I click on the network manager icon on the top, I get networking disabled; how can I know why? | 09:41 |
| yao-17 | 什么东西? | 09:41 |
| littlepenguin | maybe take0n you should choose the official repos first | 09:41 |
| hatake_kakashi | !cn | yao-17 | 09:41 |
| ubottu | yao-17: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 09:41 |
| Linuxson26 | Take0n, this could be to something not installing correctly, which is why it needs to (f)ix broken installations | 09:41 |
| littlepenguin | so take0n i would revert changes to sources.list sudo apt-get update and reinstall vlc | 09:41 |
| Joni | israfel, not working either, the workspace app is buggered it seems | 09:41 |
| Take0n | I removed the vlc ppa I added | 09:42 |
| mlk | I'm having trouble opening a file with less even so I'm in the same group and that file hase rw rights set for the groupe ? | 09:42 |
| Take0n | I did an update | 09:42 |
| Take0n | but still errors | 09:42 |
| dominicdinada | !aptitude | Take0n | 09:42 |
| ubottu | Take0n: 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 | 09:42 |
| israfel | JOni, you don't have Compiz installed do you? | 09:43 |
| Jordan_U | Take0n: Try "sudo dpkg --force-overwrite -r vlc vlc-nox vlc-plugin-pulse" | 09:43 |
| Flynsarmy | When copying a specific file i get "error splicing file: input/output error". Any ideas how I can fix this? How would I run a disk check/repair utility? | 09:44 |
| Ameisen | nope. Kernel won't start. | 09:46 |
| Ameisen | just recompiled | 09:46 |
| soreau | ! fsck | Flynsarmy | 09:46 |
| ubottu | Flynsarmy: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 09:46 |
| yao-17 | 哈哈 | 09:46 |
| Ameisen | "Gave up waiting for root device" | 09:46 |
| Take0n | Jordan_U, it did remove!! but I still get an error about libavutil50 when I try to upgrade. should I use the same command to remove that as well? | 09:47 |
| israfel | JOni, how do you know you have 36 workspaces? Is it just the panel app showing that many squares? | 09:48 |
| cyphase | Flynsarmy, there's also a file to create the checks on next boot. hold on, let me find it | 09:48 |
| cyphase | Flynsarmy, /forcefsck | 09:49 |
| Take0n | Jordan_U, now I get this error http://pastebin.com/d1f77xqP | 09:50 |
| Jordan_U | Take0n: Yes, but you may need to also remove the dependencies of libavutil50 first. Try "sudo dpkg --force-overwrite -r libavutil50" and if it fails I'll tell you how to find its dependencies. | 09:50 |
| Joni | israfel, yes I have copmiz installed and the workspace switcher app says 36 workspaces, If I turn on show workspace names it shows all 36 names and yes there are that many squares in the panel. | 09:50 |
| Take0n | it's ignoring it cause it's not installed | 09:50 |
| israfel | JOni, COmpiz has a setting to set the number of workspaces. | 09:51 |
| Take0n | there are many apps I use like mpd and mplayer that depends on libavutil49 I don't want to remove them.. how can I stop the 50 from trying to upgrade it? | 09:52 |
| israfel | ccms -> General Options -> Desktop Size (tab) -> Horizontal Virtual Size | 09:53 |
| Jordan_U | Take0n: You probably need to downgrade all of the packages from that ppa to their normal versions so that nothing is depending on 50 and trying to bring it in. The easiest way to do that is with the "ppa-purge" script. | 09:53 |
| Take0n | but which ppa is it? | 09:54 |
| israfel | JOni, err ccsm | 09:54 |
| Take0n | I did upgrade-purge to the vlc ppa | 09:54 |
| Take0n | but it didn't solve the problem as far as I can see | 09:54 |

| Kwpolska | it's not a desklet | 10:11 |
| Kwpolska | it's the conky | 10:11 |
| Kwpolska | you need to configure it yourself | 10:11 |

| reggi | but I want to share that connection to a switch using the lan0 port on my laptop. | 10:18 |
| Kwpolska | N3VV3K: I'm not sure if ti's possible in gnome | 10:18 |
| brandon420 | haha | 10:18 |
| Kwpolska | Take0n: see my message | 10:18 |
| N3VV3K | damnit | 10:18 |
| reggi | littlepenguin, i can do it easily on my vista machine using ICS but i don't know how to do it on ubuntu yet. cheers. | 10:19 |
| littlepenguin | reggi did you set the routing? | 10:19 |
| Nubulis_Maximus | Kwpolska: not having any luck with that | 10:19 |
| littlepenguin | reggi saw this guide?http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/ICS | 10:19 |
| Nubulis_Maximus | Kwpolska: used command sudo cp -rf /home/sleeve/aeon /usr/share | 10:19 |
| reggi | littlepenguin, i'll have a look at that website now, I had only tried to use Firestarter to share the connection but I'm not sure what I'm doing... | 10:20 |
| reggi | littlepenguin, let me take a peek at that link you sent | 10:20 |
| littlepenguin | sry reggi its in german.. | 10:20 |
| littlepenguin | maybe ill find it in english | 10:20 |
| reggi | ok thanks littlepenguin | 10:20 |
| brandon420 | http://uppix.net/5/d/8/799af2955cc8debfd59b7502da31b.png | 10:21 |
| littlepenguin | @reggi this one should do it https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing?action=show&redirect=InternetConnectionSharing | 10:21 |
| brandon420 | check that out, or shall i pastebin it? | 10:21 |
| reggi | thanks littlepenguin i'll look at it now. | 10:21 |
| Nubulis_Maximus | is there a way to copy directories using gui instead of sudo cp -r | 10:22 |
| littlepenguin | np reggi | 10:22 |
| littlepenguin | nubulis in nautilus rightclick copy? | 10:22 |
| hatake_kakashi | Nubulis_Maximus, you'll have to run gksu nautilus I think | 10:22 |
| littlepenguin | but be carefull with gksu nautilus.. | 10:23 |
| Nubulis_Maximus | hatake_kakashi: will give it a go | 10:23 |
| hatake_kakashi | you can't paste whatever you want into directories owned by root in which this case /usr is owned by root | 10:23 |
| brandon420 | Kwpolska, heyy, can you take a look at my source list? | 10:24 |
| Nubulis_Maximus | hatake_kakashi: that's the problem I'm having, I'm trying to copy dir to /usr using sudo cp -r, but I don't know if I'm getting the sytax correct as I'm not too proficient with linux command lines | 10:25 |
| saganbyte | Hello :) I m looking for a substitute for MS Visio, I ve tried dia, i d rather have a gnome based application. Any suggestions? | 10:26 |
| hatake_kakashi | Nubulis_Maximus, with cp -r if it comes back with nothing apart from prompt it means there were no errors during the process, otherwise you would have seen errors on the screen before it brings you back to the prompt | 10:26 |
| Nubulis_Maximus | hatake_kakashi: keep getting no such file or directory error | 10:27 |
| hatake_kakashi | Nubulis_Maximus, otherwise you can simply do cp -rv (note the v for verbose, which will dump its current actions onto the screen regardless if there's an error or its informational) | 10:27 |
| littlepenguin | @saganbyte http://linuxappfinder.com/alternatives?search_text=visual | 10:27 |
| saganbyte | littlepenguin, thanks :) | 10:27 |
| hatake_kakashi | Nubulis_Maximus, with that command you posted earlier? it sounds like you may have invalid source path.. which means your home directory | 10:27 |
| Nubulis_Maximus | hatake_kakashi: i know that the files-directories are there so not sure what it is | 10:28 |
| littlepenguin | fk saganbyte i have read wrong..visio u need??!! | 10:28 |
| littlepenguin | @saganbyte http://linuxappfinder.com/alternatives?search_text=visio | 10:28 |
| almoxarife | Nubulis_Maximus: there is a pckg called nautilus-gksu , it makes opening folder/dir/files as root from nautilus, I also don't use the terminal method or figure I need to if can get away it it | 10:28 |
| littlepenguin | so lunchtime... | 10:29 |
| hatake_kakashi | Nubulis_Maximus, I'd check to see if the source files/directories are correct by simply doing ls -l /home/sleeve/aeon for example | 10:29 |
| Nubulis_Maximus | almoxarife: I just downloaded nautilus-gksu from synaptic, where will I find it to browse files | 10:30 |
| ListedasWanted | How do i run a .sh file? | 10:31 |
| almoxarife | Nubulis_Maximus: I think you need to log out once then back in to see it as a option on nautilus | 10:31 |
| === cody_ is now known as bratsche | ||
| hatake_kakashi | ListedasWanted, first you have to make it an executable via chmod u+x and then you run it via appending period and forward slash like ./foo.sh | 10:31 |
| hatake_kakashi | well err make it so that you have execute permissions | 10:32 |
| Nubulis_Maximus | almoxarife: thx will try that | 10:32 |
| lelle | how to give my wireless connection a ip? only the cable has one | 10:32 |
| almoxarife | ListedasWanted: or you could highlight it in nautilus right click and under properties click on 'run as executable', but that might not be as much fun | 10:33 |
| hatake_kakashi | lelle, run dhclient, not a good idea if you already have a gateway set | 10:33 |
| === [1]zulgaban is now known as zulgaban | ||
| lelle | hatake_kakashi: ive done it but it wont give me | 10:33 |
| ListedasWanted | lol i see what you mean | 10:34 |
| ListedasWanted | hmm ill see what i can do | 10:34 |
| hatake_kakashi | lelle, try using wireless only and see if that works | 10:34 |
| Kwpolska | brandon420: what's your prob | 10:34 |
| ServerTech | Any software for ubuntu to monitor CPU temperatures? | 10:34 |
| bullgard | Is there no longer a man page for the Disk Mounter applet? | 10:34 |
| hatake_kakashi | ListedasWanted, its easy with command line.. with gui I think you need to right click on the file and click on properties, and you change the permissions | 10:35 |
| brandon420 | Kwpolska, i fixed it, lol, thanks. | 10:35 |
| hatake_kakashi | ServerTech, gkrellm, superkaramba, conky, etc | 10:35 |
| hatake_kakashi | ServerTech, err lmsensors package | 10:35 |

| Callum__ | N3VV3K: Whatvideo card? | 10:37 |
| marko | are there any problems withc watching movies on Quadro FX 1600M in ubuntu 10.04 | 10:37 |
| hatake_kakashi | marko, try | 10:37 |
| N3VV3K | nvidia | 10:37 |
| lelle_ | i do ifconfig and i get eth1 eth2 AND eth2:avahi which has an ip address, so thats the ip address for eth2 then? | 10:38 |
| N3VV3K | im looking into the xserver settings | 10:38 |
| Diverdude | Hello. I need a small easy tool to create timeplans. Any ideas if such a tool exists? | 10:38 |
| lelle_ | because eth2 doesnt have any | 10:38 |
| marko | hatake_kakashi, i did try and i got blury movies, or as i can say, you can see that when the whole picture changes i can see lines... | 10:38 |
| hatake_kakashi | lelle_, wait, why are you using avahi? | 10:38 |
| Callum__ | marko: depends, standard definition and below the CPU is usually fast enough to run it at full speed, but any high quality HD video will need to be hardware accelerated and I'm not sure about support for the Quadro | 10:38 |
| N3VV3K | but i cant seem to get it right i have 1 hp 24 inch monitor and one 32 inch lcd with hdmi | 10:38 |
| lelle_ | diverdude try osmo | 10:38 |
| garry | file sharing on ubuntu 10.04 and windows using samba | 10:38 |
| N3VV3K | the lcd is whats giving me trouble the monitor is fine | 10:38 |
| marko | Callum__, hm, so i cannot watch 720p or higher movies | 10:39 |
| hatake_kakashi | marko, well its an issue with driver then :) | 10:39 |
| lelle_ | hatake_kakashi dont know, its just there :( | 10:39 |
| Callum__ | marko: you can, but it might not be the fastest unless your graphics card is being utilised | 10:39 |
| BusMaster | i have a server with several virtual machines running on it. Each VM hosts a website, and all the websites have a common ip (that of the host). How should I setup routing in teh host so that a.com goes to VM1 and b.com goes to VM2 ? | 10:39 |
| hatake_kakashi | lelle_, pastebin me your iwconfig output | 10:39 |
| Diverdude | lelle_, url? | 10:39 |
| lelle_ | diverdude "the ubuntu software center" | 10:40 |
| lelle_ | hatake_kakashi: dont you mean ifconfig? | 10:40 |
| N3VV3K | ok should i change the panning | 10:40 |
| lelle_ | hatake_kakashi: ill do both.. | 10:40 |
| hatake_kakashi | lelle_, no I meant iwconfig, its for wireless | 10:40 |
| === IP-v6 is now known as guest4875 | ||

| Diverdude | lelle_, no not such a time planner....One where i can allocate e.g. 2 weeks for project a, 3 for project b and c runs meanwhile | 10:41 |
| Diverdude | lelle_, a gantt chart | 10:41 |
| marko | Callum__, it looks like it is problem with drivers, because i cannot play 1080p movies | 10:41 |
| === guest4875 is now known as IP-v6 | ||
| Diverdude | lelle_, ahh yes here it is:http://www.ganttproject.biz/ | 10:41 |
| hatake_kakashi | marko, you'll need the ati's proprietary driver | 10:41 |
| lelle_ | diverdude or this, http://www.getdeb.net/updates/Ubuntu/10.04/?q=osmo could be safer | 10:42 |
| hatake_kakashi | !ati | marko | 10:42 |
| ubottu | marko: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 10:42 |
| marko | hatake_kakashi, i cannot use ati on NVIDIA | 10:42 |
| ServerTech | Can you help me in installing gkrellm | 10:42 |
| hatake_kakashi | marko, correction nvidia, got confused :) that wiki page describes almost all | 10:42 |
| ServerTech | .. | 10:42 |
| ServerTech | Can some | 10:43 |
| marko | hatake_kakashi, it looks lie even divx movies are not playing good | 10:43 |
| hatake_kakashi | lelle_, weird, so eth2 is wireless, and avahi creates another interface.. which would most likely be virtual interface.. | 10:43 |
| marko | :S | 10:43 |
| jil | hello | 10:43 |
| ServerTech | hello | 10:43 |
| ServerTech | Can you help me install gkrellm?? | 10:43 |
| hatake_kakashi | ServerTech, have you tried seeking HOWTO on setting it up? | 10:44 |
| cecca | Hi all! I need help to configure my tablet hptx2... I can pay for a complete solution. If you are interested contact me:) | 10:44 |
| ServerTech | .... no | 10:44 |
| jil | For what reason could I not be able to reade a file with the following right ----rwx--- 1 jil jil even so I'm in the jil group ? | 10:44 |
| lelle_ | hatake_kakashi: you tell me... | 10:44 |
| hatake_kakashi | ServerTech, I'd do that first | 10:44 |
| ZoZo- | If Im only after Ati Catalyst for declocking/powerplay should I only use the proprietary drivers? | 10:44 |
| N3VV3K | it sucks i cant change panning and when i maximize the edges are cutoff | 10:44 |
| Diverdude | lelle_, no thats not a gantt chart | 10:44 |
| ServerTech | i want to know how to install it in ubuntu | 10:44 |
| ServerTech | through termina; | 10:44 |
| ServerTech | terminal | 10:44 |
| marko | hatake_kakashi, so, do yo know, what are best drivers for Quadro FX 1600M. open source or propriatery drivers? | 10:44 |
| ServerTech | tar file it is | 10:45 |
| cozziemoto | ServerTech, sudo apt-get install gkrellm | 10:45 |
| lelle_ | diverdude hmmm but its a planner.. | 10:45 |
| ServerTech | ok | 10:45 |
| hatake_kakashi | lelle_, for me I'd personally kill and disable avahi-daemon as that would be one that's making un-necessary interfaces.. once that's successfully killed I'd try and redo ifconfig | 10:45 |
| cozziemoto | ServerTech, but i would open synaptic package manager and hit Search and type in gkrellm to see if other packages or plugins etc are available as well | 10:45 |
| Diverdude | lelle_, has to be a gantt chart | 10:46 |
| ServerTech | thx its working | 10:46 |
| hatake_kakashi | marko, its almost always the proprietary drivers seem to function better than open drivers | 10:46 |
| lelle_ | diverdude try google ubuntu + gannt chart im sure youll find it | 10:46 |
| cozziemoto | hatake_kakashi, for nvidia? | 10:46 |
| hatake_kakashi | cozziemoto, yes but marko is the one having the issues | 10:46 |
| cozziemoto | hatake_kakashi, oh ok | 10:46 |
| lelle_ | hatake_kakashi: avahi-daemon : no process found | 10:46 |
| hatake_kakashi | lelle_, they run under the process name avahi | 10:47 |
| Diverdude | lelle_, ganttproject is perfect | 10:47 |
| lelle_ | hatake_kakashi: same there | 10:47 |
| cozziemoto | marko, I dont think it is going to be easy to install the proprietary from nvidia onto lucid or maverick... this is a mistake for sure by ubuntu but they have not allowed this to be done at least easily | 10:48 |
| hatake_kakashi | lelle_, no process? hmm what about /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon status ? | 10:48 |
| cozziemoto | marco however the nvidia_current driver is "fairly" decent but by no means the better of the ones available | 10:48 |
| chadi_ | when I click on the network manager icon on the top, I get networking disabled; why? | 10:48 |
| bullgard | Is there no longer a man page for the Disk Mounter applet? | 10:48 |
| hatake_kakashi | chadi_, probably some other daemon/process is interfering, right click on the same icon and click on enable networking | 10:49 |
| lelle_ | hatake_kakashi: it says it has been invoked an upstart(8) job | 10:49 |
| lelle_ | (8) shouldnt be there hi | 10:49 |
| hatake_kakashi | lelle_, hmm, which version is this? | 10:49 |
| lelle_ | hihi | 10:49 |
| bullgard | chadi_: To find out why please have a look in your error logs: /var/log/... | 10:49 |

| lelle_ | garry then you wont need samba, virtualbox can handle that automatically, dont know how to set it up tho, but its in virtualbox manual | 10:55 |
| hatake_kakashi | lunavorax, what exactly is the filename? | 10:55 |
| lunavorax | i know it's called "papersheet" | 10:55 |

| hatake_kakashi | lunavorax, you can try find / -name *papersheet* | 10:56 |
| lelle_ | N3VV3K: thats what happens when i have wrong side down.. maybe your burner cant handle dvd, lol? | 10:56 |

| Lazy^ | Heya, does anyone know which python-packages (or packages) include these: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/basemap/0.9.5 and http://www.pyngl.ucar.edu/Nio.shtml | 10:56 |
| N3VV3K | nope Bug #578910 i think this is the problem | 10:57 |
| hatake_kakashi | lelle_, hmm I got different output on mine, I'm on older version compared to yours (9.04) I dunno if you want to try experimenting you can stop the upstart service.. otherwise I'd check the forums to see if it helps | 10:57 |
| sweb | any body here ? | 10:57 |
| hatake_kakashi | !anybody| sweb | 10:57 |
| ubottu | sweb: 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? | 10:57 |
| lelle_ | hatake_kakashi: how to stop the upstart? | 10:58 |
| hatake_kakashi | lelle_, sudo /etc/init.d/upstart stop | 10:58 |
| hatake_kakashi | lunavorax, no worries | 10:58 |
| === mcl0vin_ is now known as mcl0vin | ||
| lelle_ | hatake_kakashi: i went haxxor and opened that file in gedit, its empty | 10:59 |
| hatake_kakashi | lelle_, weird, so its started by upstart which is empty and there's no avahi processes to kill.. it might be labelled as upstart.. check via ps aux instead | 11:00 |
| yong | have any body here? | 11:00 |
| hatake_kakashi | !anybody | yang | 11:01 |
| ubottu | yang: 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? | 11:01 |
| hatake_kakashi | lol whoops | 11:01 |
| lelle_ | hatake_kakashi: heres one of the two avahis..: root 2247 0.0 0.0 1808 392 ? Ss 11:35 0:00 avahi-autoipd: [eth2] callout dispatcher | 11:01 |
| N3VV3K | why is there no support oon the support channel | 11:02 |
| garry | or both | 11:02 |
| hatake_kakashi | lelle_, so the process name would be labelled as avahi-autoipd.. hmm wonder if you can just issue killall with wildmask | 11:02 |
| hatake_kakashi | N3VV3K, not every one has a solution to every possible problems one may encounter.. for everything else there's always ubuntu forums or google | 11:03 |

| lelle_ | hatake_kakashi: brb gotta do nr 2.. | 11:03 |
| hatake_kakashi | lelle_, they may reappear... | 11:03 |
| garry | i want to see both machine | 11:04 |
| hatake_kakashi | garry, your issue is more of networking related, it depends on how the guest OS is setup, maybe best idea is to have windows going through as bridged rather than NAT or host-only | 11:04 |
| randyrkelly | hello | 11:05 |
| randyrkelly | quick question i type su in terminal and type my pass but says fail an help | 11:06 |

| randyrkelly | ok | 11:06 |
| === gord_ is now known as gord | ||
| randyrkelly | should it change to #? | 11:07 |
| hatake_kakashi | N3VV3K, and no I don't have an ideal solution for your issue, I'd say the best idea is to hack the xorg.conf file.. first you need to generate one and then afterwards read up various xorg docs on how to adjust it according to your tastes | 11:07 |
| BlackDalek | How do I turn on the on screen keyboard in Ubuntu? | 11:07 |

| almoxarife | what is avail to monitor incoming traffic to my machine, I don't want to firewall it so much as just have something giving me realtime the ip/port of the incoming, gui would be nice too | 11:09 |
| randyrkelly | sweet that worked thanks im a noob to ubuntu | 11:09 |
| hatake_kakashi | almoxarife, don't know of GUI but there's ncurses based which looks somewhat like GUI but runs on console.. its called iptraf | 11:09 |
| hatake_kakashi | randyrkelly, no worries, btw we all had to start from somewhere :) | 11:10 |
| almoxarife | hatake_kakashi: thnks | 11:10 |

| Guest18219 | hello | 11:13 |
| pushdown | hi there i want to install dependecies of a package but not itself how can i do that | 11:13 |
| AnxiousNut | Does the alternate CD have the ability to make an installation exactly like the Desktop cd? | 11:14 |
| hatake_kakashi | pushdown, use apt-get or aptitude, etc | 11:14 |
| hatake_kakashi | AnxiousNut, yes | 11:14 |
| parapan | dmainou: in which way you are setting a small business? SBS from Microsoft do you mean ??? | 11:14 |
| ikonia | dmainou: there isn't one, exchange functionality is a real weakness | 11:14 |
| AnxiousNut | hatake_kakashi, thanks for verifying :) | 11:14 |
| ikonia | dmainou: there are products such as the suse exchange rival, but nothing really open source packaged for ubuntu | 11:14 |
| pushdown | hatake_kakashi, i know i should use one of them but i dont know what should i do | 11:15 |
| domen | i have a ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV250 [Mobility FireGL 9000] graphic card. what drivers do i need to install for ubuntu 10.04? | 11:15 |
| hatake_kakashi | AnxiousNut, afaik alternative just installs it using CLI with ncurses, so you basically don't have a fancy GUI desktop with the buttons and all to begin with | 11:15 |
| dmainou | Hi parapan, I am not an IT person. It is a non IT company. I just want to keep costs down and avoid microsoft as possible so want to build a case for open source | 11:15 |
| hatake_kakashi | pushdown, you type in the program name I mentioned and you type in the package name, from there on those dpkg front end handles the dependencies | 11:16 |
| ikonia | dmainou: you won't find one | 11:16 |
| pushdown | bu i dont want the program | 11:16 |
| pushdown | i want only its dependencies | 11:16 |
| dmainou | ikonia: so the alternative is go full open source? I don't think they are prepared for it | 11:17 |
| dmainou | Is there a middle of the way | 11:17 |
| hatake_kakashi | pushdown, ohh I see what you mean.. umm | 11:17 |
| ikonia | dmainou: no, there is no open source exchange platform | 11:17 |
| lelle_ | hatake_kakashi: i came back and it was on once again, but i killed it again and quickly checked ifconfig and it was gone.. still no ip for eth2 tho | 11:17 |
| N3VV3K | can you guys help me out with this http://pastebin.com/TCrVEcDU | 11:17 |
| N3VV3K | its a brasaro issue | 11:17 |
| BlackDalek | How do I turn on the on screen keyboard in Ubuntu? | 11:19 |
| hatake_kakashi | lelle_, yeah as much as I suspect its being respawned constantly most likely by init.. which means there's a script somewhere that's invoking the respawning process.. if you can kill it you can evade the stupid virtual interfaces.. but is your wireless network unprotected? | 11:19 |
| parapan | dmainou: like ikonia said .....make an ubuntu server and you'll be fine ....there wont be manny outlook facilities that the peoples will miss ....take note that outlook is developed to be integrated into the Microsoft developed products ...on the other hand, someone must always look for different open source alternatives to your needs...in order to meet the requirements of the peoples .... | 11:19 |
| lelle_ | N3VV3K: i see you have downloaded certain software ;D | 11:19 |
| parapan | dmainou: | 11:20 |
| Thund3rX | Hi all, did someone interfaced the Ubuntu Cloud Offering Sokution based on Eucalyptus with VMWare nodes? | 11:20 |
| hatake_kakashi | pushdown, there's no easy program to do this but you can for example do this: dpkg-query -s foo| grep Depends | 11:20 |
| dmainou | parapan, do you know any guids that state what wouldn't work | 11:20 |
| lelle_ | hatake_kakashi: ive enterned the router settings and turned off the firewall to see if it would help yes, but it still needs wpa pass but no problem there | 11:20 |
| radi | does anyone know how to configure gdesklets by terminal ? | 11:21 |
| parapan | dmainou: if you don't want the hassle of upgrading the apt-get each day, chanching the config files of different applications and so on .....you go for Microsoft and SBS | 11:21 |
| N3VV3K | i didnt have to install brasaro | 11:21 |
| lelle_ | hatake_kakashi: network manager says ive got a connection but routers wireless doesnt see my computer, i guess its because i have no ip for eth2.. | 11:21 |
| N3VV3K | but yeah can u help me | 11:21 |
| hatake_kakashi | lelle_, if so then you're going about it the wrong way.. if its wpa protected you'll need to use wpa_supplicant if you're going to go down the CLI path | 11:21 |
| dmainou | parapan: thanks, yes it has to work every time. I just would love to avoid microcrap as much as possible | 11:22 |
| parapan | dmainou: I have a SBS and a Win2008 Server installation on my office ....I am on Ubuntu myself ....I cannot managed to work any email client to get /connect to the exchange server ....so i'll check all my emails via webinterface | 11:22 |

| * miha agrees with ikonia | 11:36 | |
| N3VV3K | is there anyway i can skip windows all together | 11:36 |
| ikonia | N3VV3K: no, it needs a windows chkdsk | 11:36 |
| miha | ubuntu fsck can't really fix windows partitions | 11:36 |

| miha | N3VV3K perhaps, if you configure usb pass through correctly | 11:37 |
| tensorpudding | N3VV3K: if your VMware supports usb devices without emulation | 11:37 |
| ikonia | N3VV3K: ask in ##windows about that | 11:37 |

| keoz | jil : userflags dont allow you acces, groupflags yes | 11:41 |
| ikonia | jil: yes, but you are the owner, and your permissions explitly say "no access to the owner" - that will override the group | 11:41 |

| erUSUL | Kyuusai-San: this will remove all jpeg from dir and all subdirs --> find dir/ -name '*.jpeg' -delete | 12:03 |

| Kyuusai-San | erUSUL | 12:05 |
| wawawawa | oh... oops! | 12:05 |
| Kyuusai-San | what about the sudo | 12:05 |
| Kyuusai-San | cause im getting a permission denied | 12:05 |

| wawawawa | find -not -iname "*jpg" -and -not -iname "*gif" ... etc... -exec sudo rm {} + | 12:05 |

| Kyuusai-San | nope | 12:05 |
| Kyuusai-San | basically heres the deal | 12:06 |
| Kyuusai-San | i used a program to get back some files that i deleted accidently | 12:06 |
| erUSUL | Kyuusai-San: i thught you where cleaning your home folder or data you own | 12:06 |
| Kyuusai-San | but the program has filled my drive | 12:06 |
| Kyuusai-San | gnome wont log on because the drives full | 12:06 |
| jil | that's a dangerous move i think | 12:06 |
| erUSUL | Kyuusai-San: ok; then use sudo | 12:06 |
| jil | deleting all file but images files with sudo :) | 12:06 |
| Kyuusai-San | yeah | 12:07 |
| erUSUL | Kyuusai-San: but try first the command with -print instead of -delete so you see what files are going to be removed and can double check | 12:07 |
| jil | be sure of your folders content | 12:07 |
| Kyuusai-San | oh i know whats in these folders | 12:07 |
| Kyuusai-San | because the software put them in to folders e.g. recup_dir.366 | 12:07 |
| wawawawa | erSUL - you can negate and combine... just tested. | 12:08 |
| Kyuusai-San | lol wawawawa | 12:09 |
| Kyuusai-San | the -exec sudo rm {} + says theres a missing argument to sudo | 12:10 |

| raph_ael | hi i'm using jaunty with a grub 0.97, editing /boot/grub/menu.lst or /etc/default/grub does not change anything to defoptions, is there a secret ubuntu trick ? | 12:15 |
| domen | how do i add gnome sound properties to gnome panel? | 12:15 |
| ikonia | raph_ael: you need to know if it's grub1 or grub2 in use | 12:16 |
| raph_ael | ikonia: grub 0.97 is grub1 | 12:16 |
| ikonia | raph_ael: I know, but you need to be certain that's what you're using as /etc/default/grub doesn't exist on grub1 | 12:16 |
| raph_ael | ikonia: yes, i tried this after editing the menu.lst that did nothing | 12:17 |
| raph_ael | ikonia: thanks for help btw | 12:17 |
| ikonia | raph_ael: menu.lst will control grub1 | 12:17 |
| raph_ael | ikonia: it should but in this case it doesn't :) | 12:18 |
| ikonia | raph_ael: that's all that can control it, if editing makes no difference, than that menu.lst is not relevant to the grub install on the master boot record | 12:18 |
| raph_ael | ikonia: thanks i'll see if something comes between | 12:18 |

| misha | how can I make it will redirect to main page on https | 12:23 |
| vinus | how can i istall wget? | 12:23 |
| Dr_Willis | !info wget | 12:23 |
| ubottu | wget (source: wget): retrieves files from the web. In component main, is standard. Version 1.12-1.1ubuntu2 (lucid), package size 281 kB, installed size 2300 kB | 12:23 |

| Dr_Willis | standard = installed by default i think. | 12:23 |
| claudius | apt-get install wget | 12:23 |
| ikonia | misha: you need to do that at the application level, ask in #httpd | 12:23 |
| tiago | misha: https://mydomain.com??? | 12:24 |
| ZoZo- | So I setup some sensors with sudo sensors-detect and now ubuntu doesnt want to start, anyone ever encountered this problem? :p | 12:24 |
| misha | yes | 12:24 |
| Dr_Willis | vinus: type 'wget' at a terminal.. see if its installed. | 12:24 |
| KE1HA | misha, use an .htaccess for redirect | 12:24 |
| misha | .hta doesn't work at all | 12:24 |
| misha | i'm using apache mod_rewite | 12:24 |
| claudius | misha: you should have 2 config for 80 and 443 ... if you config them in differenent DocumentRoots, you just need a smal "index.html" with a http-meta-redirect | 12:24 |
| garry | so how ikonia how can i share file on my windows system and on my vbox windows xp | 12:25 |
| KE1HA | misha, that's a problme you need to solve too then, but as they said above, these are best asked in #httpd channel. | 12:25 |
| garry | i tried lots of time | 12:25 |
| garry | but i failed | 12:25 |
| garry | i installed smaba | 12:25 |
| misha | ok thanks for the help | 12:25 |
| garry | i installed webmin | 12:25 |
| garry | so tell me which can i used easliy | 12:26 |
| ikonia | garry: webmin changes your config layout to an unsupported configuration, we can no longer support it | 12:26 |
| garry | ikonia | 12:26 |
| vinus | no i cant install?is there any other way? | 12:26 |
| garry | kk | 12:26 |
| Dr_Willis | garry: virtualbox has its own 'share' feature built into Virtualbox you can use if you install teh guest addation. Or if you got the VM configured right it should appear on a lan with the host machine. | 12:26 |
| Dr_Willis | garry: easy way to get stuff from a windows->linux box is to use winscp on the windows side. easier to do then fight samba at times. | 12:26 |
| garry | so tell me how to share files using samba gui mode | 12:27 |
| KE1HA | garry, right flick the folder, then Share | 12:27 |

| garry | in netwrok browser it is not showning | 12:29 |
| Dr_Willis | garry: you set up and use samba server on the linxu side and the windows box 'should' see any shares you have made.. OR use the viortualbox guest addation 'share' feature. Or.. use some other service such as ssh/winscp | 12:29 |

| menatwork | Hi people...Is there a way to install a clean ubuntu installation on a VPS slice over the net ? | 12:34 |
| garry | in my vbox there is windows | 12:34 |
| KE1HA | oj_, first, I'd submit a bug report, then md5 chek you iso, and then try the ALT-ISO CD for install if it keeps failing. | 12:34 |
| Dr_Willis | garry: you enable a shared directory in the Virtualbox configs. then in the guest OS you Mount the shared directroy. The virtualbox manual descrivbes how you do it for different OS's its basically a samba share I recall. | 12:35 |
| Dr_Willis | garry: or install ssh on the linux side. and winscp on the windows side. and use that to transfer files. | 12:35 |
| KE1HA | menatwork, doubtfull, as you wont have access to a boot sector | 12:35 |

| ubottu | knightstalker, please see my private message | 13:05 |
| KE1HA | be prepared for a brain-ache when your done though. | 13:05 |
| knightstalker | erUSUL,however,I think its not as broke as Ubuntu 10.04 | 13:05 |
| knightstalker | so just how to do it? | 13:05 |
| sacarlson | KE1HA: I had enuf problem just geting it to work without security, I just filter internet access and have local lan open | 13:05 |
| garry | how i share files using smaba in ubuntu 10.04 to windows | 13:06 |
| sacarlson | garry: aren't you happy with my example? | 13:06 |
| Slart | !samba | garry | 13:06 |
| ubottu | garry: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 13:06 |

| knightstalker | erUSUL,hmm,no dist-upgrade is available :o | 13:08 |
| garry | sacarlson what i do with that paste it to smb.comf file | 13:08 |
| erUSUL | knightstalker: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade *after* you edited the sources.list sources.list.d files | 13:08 |
| knightstalker | okay Thank you a bunch! | 13:09 |
| sacarlson | garry: modify the files to fit your envirnment | 13:09 |
| gcleric | garry: the only thing that has really changed in 10.04 is the path tio the samba init script. | 13:09 |
| knightstalker | erUSUL,anyways,by editing sources.list you mean to change all 'lucid's to 'karmic' ? | 13:09 |
| erUSUL | knightstalker: no problem. you have backups; right? | 13:09 |
| knightstalker | ah no | 13:10 |
| erUSUL | knightstalker: yes | 13:10 |
| knightstalker | I do not know how to make backups anyway :p | 13:10 |
| sacarlson | garry: just use the global part and use some gui tool to setup the other part like nautilus with right click and select share | 13:10 |
| gcleric | garry: it was /etc/init.d/samba it is now /etc/init.d/smbd | 13:10 |

| FusionX | guys i need some help installing inadyn dyndns client in UBUNTU, in the inadyn.conf, WHAT does alias mean? | 13:14 |
| FusionX | i've asked 2 times | 13:14 |
| reggi | ok thanks sacarlson | 13:14 |
| FusionX | it's 3rd now | 13:14 |
| erUSUL | reggi: you should have used checkinstall. cleaner aproach | 13:14 |
| erUSUL | !checkinstall | reggi | 13:14 |
| ubottu | reggi: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 13:15 |
| KE1HA | reggi, you can also try to "make clean" but as stated, if the MAKEFILE doesn't support uninstall aint gonna happen, sometimed deleting the installed binary dir help also. | 13:15 |
| reggi | ok thanks KE1HA | 13:15 |
| Slart | FusionX: you've tried looking at man pages, reading at their site? | 13:15 |

| reggi | I'll try compiling it again and run checkinstall this time | 13:15 |
| FusionX | i don't understand what alias means | 13:15 |
| KE1HA | reggi, best approach, use apt-get or aptitude to install / remove :-) | 13:16 |

| fluxboxrulez | I have got the following problem with Fluxbox: the fonts look good in general (in fact the terminal looks even better than in Gnome), but within applications like Firefox or Skype in some places the fonts are tiny, even though in other places the font looks just fine, plus some buttons and icons within those programs look super-tiny. With firefox some pages display the font okay, with the size I set in preferences, but other pages | 13:16 |
| fluxboxrulez | display an extra tiny font...there's a lack of proportion: i.e. one frame in the page using the normal font size, while other using an extrasupertiny font size. These pages and programs look just fine under Gnome, it's when I use fluxbox that I get this problem. | 13:16 |
| Pici | FusionX: The inadyn manpage explains that alias is the hostname that your dynamic dns provider provides. like: mysite.dyndns.org | 13:17 |

Last week I was able to access the freenas shared folders by > connecting to server > freenas. But I have played around with some settings on my dns server and now I can only access the freenas shared drive by typing the ipaddress only because the name 'freenas' no longer resolves. how would you guys trouble shoot this? (incidentally th | 13:21 |
| reggi | is is why I attempted to install or compile dhcp-4.2.0 but I have little idea what i'm doing lol) | 13:21 |
| Pici | TiK: You can use your tab key to autocomplete nicknames here on IRC. | 13:21 |
| ikonia | lelle_: you assign it a dhcp config or an ip address through network manager | 13:21 |
| [thor] | jakung: i suggest installing it through "PlayOnLinux" | 13:21 |

| ikonia | lelle_: you need to set your wirless to dhcp to get an ip / routing information from your router | 13:34 |
| KE1HA | lelle_, no IP address = no connection. Let me look around a bit. | 13:34 |

| ZoZo- | Serious how do you get the "home screen" again? Nothing at all happens when I click the top left icon.. I even reinstalled it.. | 13:45 |
| BluesKaj | I discovered that c ertain routers won't work with NM wifi at my daughter's house for example ...did all the right setup/pw etc but would not connect..np with w7 tho. Then that evening I was able to connect without any probs at the hotel | 13:47 |
| KE1HA | ZoZo-, I dont know off hand, whet did you do or were doing when it vanished? Which Home Screen are we talking about? | 13:47 |
| Bodman456 | KE1HA: I think he means the main ubuntu apps menu | 13:48 |

| ServerTech | hey abhijit from india, im too from india | 13:49 |
| KE1HA | ZoZo-, ok, I think that's in the sesson manager options you can select at log in, did you check that? | 13:49 |
| sacarlson | ZoZo-: I think he mean he lost the xserver not coming up? | 13:49 |
| abhijit | ServerTech, good. | 13:49 |
| ServerTech | No possibilities of degrading?? | 13:49 |
| ikonia | johnathan: securing a server is a big task, it all depends on what your running and how far you want to go | 13:49 |
| abhijit | ServerTech, explain you question | 13:50 |
| ServerTech | someone can help me set up iptables | 13:50 |
| sacarlson | ZoZo-: you mean you have no graphic screen? like can't run gui stuf? | 13:50 |
| ikonia | ServerTech: #netfilter for iptables support | 13:50 |
| abhijit | !iptables | ServerTech | 13:50 |
| ubottu | ServerTech: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 13:50 |

| ZoZo- | sacarlson yea the gui home screen wont come up.. I can only run things through terminal | 13:50 |
| ServerTech | Hmm, its not for me, for one of my friends. He says that his server fails everyday with ubuntu 10.04 | 13:50 |
| ServerTech | But my server is runnung perfect | 13:51 |

| laurent_ | ikonia, it is still a bit complex: both systems use the same IP (dual-boot) and should also share same the same network config. But i didn't watch the guys installing it. Maybe they left out some parts for the 64Bit install ... | 14:06 |

| KE1HA | happydonut, is this a brand new install ? | 14:10 |
| joschi | happydonut: anyway, you can install dbus yourself anytime | 14:10 |
| happydonut | joschi: service mysql restart (cannot connecto system bus), so are you asking, why does mysql need "service mysql restart"? | 14:11 |
| ikonia | happydonut: it means don't use enter to end a sentence as it scrolls the channel to agressive | 14:11 |
| KE1HA | provided he can apt-get install, wich is more of a concern atm. | 14:11 |

| marko | i hava a laptop hp 8710w, what connections there is between graphic card and LCD i don't know, but i can find out | 14:19 |
| abhijit | mahmood22, it varies per laptop. | 14:19 |
| abhijit | mahmood22, have you done lsusb? | 14:19 |
| mahmood22 | yes | 14:20 |

| DjAngo23 | Hello everyone. I' m looking for a clipboard manager. Anyone any software ? | 14:20 |
| abhijit | mahmood22, is that a your bluetooth device? | 14:20 |
| abhijit | DjAngo23, search in ubuntu software center. | 14:20 |
| mahmood22 | don't know it is th only device name abhijit | 14:20 |
| abhijit | mahmood22, ohhh | 14:21 |
| abhijit | mahmood22, do this hcitool dev and see if there is any output. if output then you have bluetooth device. | 14:21 |
| KE1HA | DjAngo23, Parcellite or GLipper, Parcellite I've heard is nice, I use Glipper but it's unsupported now I think. | 14:21 |
| abhijit | mahmood22, If the id is all zeros, restart the bluez-utils service and retry | 14:21 |
| BluesKaj | ok marko , seems to me the source movies are to blame , not the graphics card > Are the movies on dvd or downloaded from the internet ? | 14:21 |
| marko | BluesKaj, they are downloaded from the internet | 14:23 |
| marko | BluesKaj, but i downloaded more then one sample, and they are all the same | 14:23 |
| BluesKaj | try a dvd | 14:23 |
| randyrkelly | ok im tryin to install irssi but when i type apt-get install irissi it doesn't wanna install | 14:23 |
| abhijit | randyrkelly, its sudo apt-get instal irssi | 14:24 |
| Pici | randyrkelly: you need to spell it correctly: sudo apt-get install irssi | 14:24 |
| bretzel | Hi there, SERIOUS BUG during boot time with fsck that leads to very grave confusion... I thought I've lost all partitions on my linux install -- | 14:24 |
| marko | BluesKaj, how does this change anything? a sample of a movie, is a sample, it doesn't matter from where is it downloaded or played directly... | 14:24 |
| KE1HA | happydonut, you still there? you get you dbus issue sorted? | 14:24 |
| aeon-ltd | randyrkelly: you using sudo? | 14:24 |
| abhijit | :( | 14:24 |
| randyrkelly | im just using apt | 14:25 |

| bretzel | Hi there, SERIOUS BUG during boot time with fsck that leads to very grave confusion... I thought I've lost all partitions on my linux install -- | 14:25 |
| mahmood22 | hcitool dev does not show any device , abhijit | 14:25 |
| aeon-ltd | randyrkelly: what does it say when you try to install it? | 14:25 |
| abhijit | mahmood22, then as per that guide given by ubottu there is not bluetooth device either connceted or installed. | 14:26 |
| KE1HA | bretzel, you think you have or fer sure you have ? | 14:26 |
| abhijit | randyrkelly, look for the spelling - irssi | 14:26 |
| BluesKaj | well marko fine , do your thing , but vlc isn't perfect either ..try another player , maybe mplayer and I would suggest installing ffmpeg and the medibuntu repos, and install ubuntu-restricted-extras too | 14:26 |
| pozic | How can I convert a cue file to an iso? | 14:26 |

When i throw in the 10.04 CD to install it over the 8.04, i go into the main install menu, after i click instal (or live CD) i get a blinking dash, top corner of screen, then it shuts off my screen, and then nothing... | 14:28 |

| Diverdude | Hello. I have saved a figure in .eps in matlab, and i am importing it inkscape because i need to annotate it further. The problem is that when i open the matlab plot contained in the eps file, in inkscape the sides are cut of for some obscure reason. How do i prevent that? | 14:29 |

| bretzel | In any situations where fsck must be started ( even for re-mount cycle value reached - thus very normal check) -- at boot time, fsck terminate and lets the system ( init process ) to wait for fsck status that never returns to the init execution. putting the boot process to hang | 14:31 |
| xerox1 | abhijit, thought that is only for local images? | 14:31 |

| xerox1 | abhijit, i would like to flip through the images of my contacts, so the images are not locally stored... | 14:33 |
| KE1HA | lnewlfe, we could go into all the gory details of why plymouth isn't working too smooth, but more times than not, the ALT CD solves at least the install portion. | 14:33 |
| abhijit | xerox1, no i dunno. | 14:33 |
| KE1HA | not to say ya wont ahve issues after, but we can work that then. | 14:33 |
| lnewlfe | is there a way of getting packages updated thru 8.04? | 14:33 |
| xerox1 | abhijit, thx anyway | 14:34 |
| KE1HA | Ye,s get the Upgrade ISO, but your better off w/New Install. | 14:34 |
| randyrkelly | brb | 14:34 |
| lnewlfe | gotcha. I dont have internet on comp. with ubuntu atm, so it makes everything a pain in the arse.... | 14:34 |
| shane2peru | errggh, I hate wmv, any way to convert wmv to anything that I can use? it is a video, totem doesn't play the video, just audio, vlc same. | 14:35 |
| KE1HA | lnewlfe, understand, try the ALT, ans see where that gets you, I've test allot of them, and they seemt o work well. | 14:35 |

| KE1HA | DjAngo23, Query for whar? | 14:37 |

| ovidius | Could someone point me to a software solution to reduce screen brightness? On Windows and Mac OS I have used Software that uses transparent fullscreen boxes, that add additional darkening. I would really like that under Ubuntu. | 14:39 |
| shane2peru | littlepenguin, avidemux complains about audio formats, it drives me crazy you have to be an expert video/audio guy to convert a dumb little video you want to see. | 14:39 |
| DjAngo23 | Thanks, it works like a charm ;) | 14:39 |
| happydonut | KE1HA: still here | 14:40 |
| KE1HA | DjAngo23, cool, glad it's sorted. | 14:40 |
| happydonut | I am a little concerned that nobody else apparently sees this, yet googling for the issue turns up lots of hits and people explaining it :( | 14:40 |
| KE1HA | happydonut, I'd run tasksel and have the system install the servers, then re-boot and see if it moans about dbus agian. | 14:40 |
| shane2peru | littlepenguin, I know it is not your fault, I appreciate the help, I tried winFF too, and it doesn't work either. | 14:41 |
| happydonut | hrm, that is tasksel? how can I, from a shell, get the system to install (unattended) a new ubuntu server? I guess you can't? | 14:41 |
| KE1HA | happydonut, search Launchpad for rescent bugs, that's the real tell-tell sign | 14:41 |
| KE1HA | sudo tasksel | 14:41 |
| littlepenguin | shane2peru but the wmv file has video in it?? | 14:41 |
| shane2peru | littlepenguin, yep | 14:41 |
| littlepenguin | shane2peru that is set to microloft for their own format | 14:42 |
| shane2peru | littlepenguin, they are all from here: http://www.bibleanalyzer.com/tutorial.htm | 14:42 |

| BluesKaj | marko I suggest installing ffmpeg and the medibuntu repos, and install ubuntu-restricted-extras , if you haven't already. I you have then I can't help you any further. | 14:42 |
| Mkools | I am using chromium os but first videos on http://gitcasts.com/ were running but not now? Can you tell me why? | 14:42 |

| reggi | hi folks, question: i know the command to add the default gateway on a client's eth0 which is, 'sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.1'. So what is the command to add the dns server to the client's eth0? Thank you. | 14:44 |
| littlepenguin | shane2peru ill try that for you takes a moment | 14:44 |
| abhijit | celldweller1591, try powertop | 14:44 |

| KE1HA | celldweller1591, the 173 is causing High-CPU usage. | 14:44 |
| shane2peru | littlepenguin, nope, just green screen with audio | 14:44 |
| celldweller1591 | wat is 173 driver ? | 14:44 |
| llutz | reggi: echo nameserver 1.2.3.4 |sudo tee -a /etc/resolv.conf | 14:44 |
| erUSUL | reggi: it is easier to use /etc/network/interfaces file for all that instead of using ifconfig or route | 14:44 |
| celldweller1591 | old driver for intel chipsets ?? | 14:44 |
| KE1HA | In restricted drivers | 14:45 |
| celldweller1591 | k | 14:45 |
| celldweller1591 | thanks for help..will try that ! | 14:45 |

| celldweller1591 | it will guiode me to cpu eating proceses i hope | 14:45 |

| abhijit | erUSUL, it is a powerful tool to manage power. let him try it first is failed then he dont pay anything. | 14:46 |
| shane2peru | littlepenguin, http://www.bibleanalyzer.com/tutorial.htm any of those videos | 14:46 |
| reggi | i'll try your suggestion first erUSUL. | 14:46 |
| littlepenguin | no shane2peru you said you got it..have you got a solution? | 14:46 |
| erUSUL | abhijit: top or htop will show him what is eating the cpu. that's the tool for the job | 14:47 |
| abhijit | celldweller1591, powertop is nothing to do with 100% cpu. its used for power management. | 14:47 |
| abhijit | erUSUL, ok | 14:47 |
| shane2peru | littlepenguin, oh, I tried the auto - flv and it said it worked, but no video in the output | 14:47 |
| KE1HA | just do a simple top -d 1 | 14:47 |
| celldweller1591 | k | 14:47 |
| KE1HA | the high CPU will be right at the top, no pun intended :-) | 14:47 |
| littlepenguin | ok wait shane2peru | 14:47 |
| littlepenguin | ill try | 14:47 |
| abhijit | celldweller1591, but i sugget you to give it a try. just try it. you have option for sudo remove powertop if you dotn ilke it | 14:47 |

| skumara | erUSUL, IE in wine may not be very secure for banking. | 14:57 |
| littlepenguin | shane2peru, needed codec is wmsdmod.dll | 14:57 |
| happydonut | bazhang: can we offer that feature to reduce noise, I am asking for this for non informative triggers, things like WINE are good, things like "how to ask a question" should be PM, and via PM | 14:57 |
| bazhang | !factoid > happydonut | 14:57 |

Is this a problem with grub, or should I really worry about my partition table? Is there some way of backing it up in case the HD fails or something? | 15:05 |

| reggi | ikonia, yes /etc/resolv.conf (i'm troubleshooting why internet is not working on my laptop) | 15:34 |
| KE1HA | bobo123, dist-upgrade is the only way I know to get round it. | 15:34 |
| bobo123 | aha | 15:35 |
| ikonia | reggi: it's dynamic you can change it on the fly | 15:35 |
| kotomi | I'm not sure what it is, but for example, I can only view the first tab in chrme | 15:35 |
| kotomi | when I try and view the other tabs, it automatically scrolls back to the first tab | 15:35 |
| KE1HA | but that's installing more than the packages requested to install. | 15:35 |
| Linux | look http://paste.ubuntu.com/475964/ | 15:36 |
| kotomi | GNOME do is also letting me hover to different windows without clicking on them | 15:36 |
| reggi | ok thanks ikonia | 15:36 |
| Linux | i shold upgrade? | 15:36 |
| kotomi | and my scroll wheel isn't working | 15:36 |
| bazhang | Linux, dist-upgrade won't change versions | 15:36 |
| kotomi | it's like my mouse is always set to scroll or something like that | 15:37 |
| KE1HA | Linux, well, it got the packages you wanted, but ya got a broken on in there now :-) | 15:37 |
| Linux | ok than...what can i do to fix that? | 15:37 |
| johnathan | hi there ppl another quick question. how can l run a inventory data base using mysql? | 15:38 |
| kotomi | does anyone know what I should do, my ubuntu is basically unusable | 15:38 |
| bobo123 | Linux: yeah do that, and afterwards reinstall libavcodec-extra-52 (I suppose it is some video format codec?) | 15:38 |
| kotomi | ok, when I hold the alt key, my windows start switching | 15:39 |
| Linux | http://paste.ubuntu.com/475966/ | 15:39 |
| Linux | yes or no? :)) | 15:39 |
| kotomi | Also, when I start scrolling down in the user list and let go, it starts erratically scrolling up | 15:40 |
| pablito | ciao | 15:40 |
| Oer | Linux, why not ? | 15:40 |
| pablito | ubuntu | 15:41 |
| Linux | ok then reinstall manualy the libavcodec-extra-52 ? | 15:41 |
| KE1HA | Linux, I'd recommend, reinstalling your gtstreamer as there's clearly broken players / incompatible codecs depending on what you've brought forward and done since initial install. | 15:41 |
| bobo123 | kotomi: is it a normal ps/2 mouse or some usb-mouse or some special? it sounds like the mosue sofware thinks one of your buttons is constantly pressed down or something... could help just to remove and reinstert the mouse perhaps | 15:41 |

| ubottu | Linux: 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) | 15:45 |

| reggi | ikonia and littlepenguin i finally got the internet to work. the reason it didn't work before was becuase my /etc/resolv.conf file was missing the text 'nameserver' before the dns address. | 15:47 |
| mdgeorge1 | bobo123: I can't think of an easy way, but I can think of some hard ways | 15:47 |
| bobo123 | mdgeorge1: I want to print two pages per page (because there a too many pages to waste paper on), so I want the margins to be as thin as possible (ideally just 1mm between the two pages on the same paper, and 7mm at the paper border) so the text isn't so small | 15:48 |
| bobo123 | mdgeorge1: aha, tell me a hard way! :-) | 15:48 |

| bihari | KE1HA, how to solve this issue | 16:19 |

| KE1HA | bihari, try this: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/YMYK6MEh | 16:22 |
| ServerTechPro | umm, how do i install the im-sensors package | 16:23 |
| KE1HA | bihari, I think the problem is either with the partition itself, or the mountall app is fubar. | 16:23 |
| llutz | ServerTechPro: sudo aptitude install lm-sensors | 16:23 |
| Pici | ServerTechPro: Its a lower case L not an i. | 16:23 |
| mdgeorge1 | lxsys: I also tried diffing the Xorg logs between the successful and unsuccessful kernels | 16:23 |
| ServerTechPro | ok | 16:23 |
| kyentei | Pici: Thanks for your assistance. I'm creating packs with the default wallpaper, iconset and theme so I can add them to later distributions. (I don't quite like how 10.04 looks) | 16:23 |
| bihari | yes i have not partision my computer when i have installed ubuntu | 16:23 |

| lxsys | mdgeorge1: are you able to pastebin your xorg.log for me? | 16:33 |
| KE1HA | bihari, the real answer is you need to get your system up to 10.04, however the 64bit soltion is this, all you need to do is find the 32bit backage v.s. the one Im about to give you: sudo dpkg --force-all -i mountall_2.15_amd64.deb | 16:33 |
| mdgeorge1 | lxsys: sure. do you also want the working one? | 16:33 |

| resno | !root | ServerTechPro | 17:48 |
| ubottu | ServerTechPro: 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 | 17:48 |
| ServerTechPro | no i need to remove one of the ids | 17:48 |
| KE1HA | joe___, From the APT man page: upgrade | 17:48 |
| KE1HA | upgrade is used to install | 17:48 |
| KE1HA | the newest versions of all packages currently installed on the system from the sources enumerated in /etc/apt/sources.list. Packages currently installed with new versions | 17:48 |
| KE1HA | available are retrieved and upgraded; under no circumstances are currently installed packages removed, or packages not already installed retrieved and installed. New versions of currently installed packages that cannot be upgraded without changing the install status of another package will be left at their current version. An update must be performed first so that apt-get knows that new versions of packages are available. | 17:48 |

| Pici | ServerTechPro: What do you mean by 'root users'? Do you mean someone who has access to sudo? | 17:49 |
| ServerTechPro | adding a user is adduser nick. how to remove a user. | 17:49 |

| ServerTechPro | yes | 17:49 |
| ServerTechPro | SSH access | 17:49 |

| ServerTechPro | ok | 17:50 |
| ServerTechPro | thx | 17:50 |
| andyn | ServerTechPro: you can remove sudo/root access form an user by removing him/her from group admin | 17:50 |
| chemical-death | ServerTechPro: but don't remove the Root! | 17:50 |

| aeon-ltd | New2Ubuntu: dreamweaver sucks anyway imo, its just way to bloated to be efficient | 17:59 |

| danub | Jigal: 'locate http.conf' | 18:00 |
| Pici | Jigal: its in /etc/apache2/ | 18:00 |

| Jigal | can that be? | 18:01 |
| danub | nope chemical-death will swap to the f1 screen and try it | 18:01 |
| Pici | Jigal: Whats empty? That file or that path? | 18:01 |
| danub | lol actually, i dont have to | 18:01 |
| danub | now it seems to be working fine | 18:01 |
| sacarlson | New2Ubuntu: I'm happy with linux it's stable I was formating my disk every 3 months back in 2002 gave up on it moved to linux | 18:02 |
| Jigal | Pici, the file | 18:02 |
| danub | guess the dist-upgrade to 10.4 fixed that issue ;) thank you anyway for the suggestion chemical-death | 18:02 |
| Pici | Jigal: Yes, the file is supposed to be empty. Settings are managed by /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and files in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ | 18:02 |

| Jigal | Pici, so where to load my rewrite_module? | 18:02 |
| sacarlson | New2Ubuntu: some not much | 18:02 |
| danub | Jigal: read the config file for apache, it will tell you where to put it | 18:03 |
| Jigal | danub, its empty | 18:03 |

| Pici | Jigal: If you issue: sudo a2enmod rewrite, it will install the mod symlinks in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ | 18:03 |
| danub | jigal, thats because your not looking at the apache2.conf | 18:03 |
| Tomcat_ha | thune3, i got it to work now | 18:03 |
| Tomcat_ha | thanks | 18:03 |
| danub | see Pici's solution | 18:04 |

| danub | not I | 18:05 |
| danub | :) | 18:05 |
| joe___ | sacarlson: yes, I will start from 1001. I think it's a good idea to keep the user 1000 created by Ubuntu installation as it is, like a backup admin user | 18:05 |

| biodegabriel | hiku, i am building a new web server environment, and my installation went from 40MB to 960MB with the updates (apt-get update; apt-get -u upgrade; apt-get install build-essential) | 18:44 |

| goreguts | I'm trying to install ubuntu using the minimal ISO and it cannot detect my ethernet interface. The drivers are not in the list. Is there a way for me to install the drivers during the installation? | 18:45 |

| hypn0 | todays updates broke mplayer, any fixes? | 18:47 |
| hiku | hypn0: have you tried un-installing mplayer, then re-installing? | 18:47 |
| chemical-death | KingChillbill: use purge instead of remove it removes packages with all the other files...with remove just this package you choose will be removed | 18:47 |
| === jono is now known as Guest70629 | ||
| hiku | hypn0: I just ran the latest updates for this am, and ran mplayer just fine | 18:48 |
| hypn0 | i think i installed medibuntus mplayer, and ffmpeg was uninstalled during updates, hiku , no didnt try that yet | 18:48 |
| goreguts | hiku: no, i'm going to try that next but I really wanted a "minimal" install of ubuntu. Can I tell it not to install a bunch of stuff if I'm using the server iso? | 18:48 |
| hiku | goreguts: if your using the server iso, you can manaully pick the stuff you want installed, then it will resolve the deps required and do the install. What you choose and what deps get installed are out of my scope. | 18:49 |
| goreguts | hiku: great, I can handle that. Thanks. | 18:50 |
| hiku | goreguts: Np.... good luck. | 18:50 |

| Xase | wy is it so diffficult to fix the overscan | 19:09 |

Specifically, I want to ssh into my freinds ipod (which I can do when it's at my house) when he's at his house on his wirelss network. (I will, when at his house, have complete access to his network settings/router settings). Also, would there be a way of accessing the wireless router settings remotely? | 19:26 |
| alkisg | OK got it, gparted crashed and left the udisks daemon in inhibit mode. | 19:26 |
| hiku | Edmund: ssh username@remotehostname | 19:26 |
| Edmund | hiku: really? can you jst use ssh to any ip address on the internet? | 19:27 |
| hiku | Edmund: most wireless routers have a setup option to enable remote management of the route usually with a static ip address of the remote host. | 19:27 |
| hiku | Edmund: well sure you could, but that wouldn't mean the end point would respond nor would or could it be running an ssh server. | 19:28 |
| Xase | weell that still does t help because i have no default modes listed | 19:28 |

| ZykoticK9 | jediknight304, you might be able to add it to your PPA if you can package it - then try getting it into debian, then perhaps it will end up in ubuntu. | 19:50 |

| Edmund | This one is Ubuntu specific: When transfering files to my mp3 player via usb, it starts of really fast, for example, as soon as the file transfer dialogue shows up, it says 30mb or so, but from there slows down and slows down untill it is really slow. So a 70mb file might be 50% done after 2 seconds, but then take another 3 mins or so to finish. I remember ages ago I saw a bug report on this, but | 19:52 |

| haresh | Edmund, i have installed as it says but this am getting http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/7qvGj28D when i want to install | 19:56 |
| jim_dandy | Edmund: some of that is probably due to buffering. there is a memory buffer which is being written to, which will appear faster to the application. (that is why you must eject a drive, in order to flush remaining writes to the drive even though programs 'see' these operations as having already been completed.) | 19:56 |
| oCean_ | haresh: there are many, many mono packages, I'm not sure what the requirements of your build are | 19:57 |

| Edmund | I don't know if it's related, but I also noticed a similar problem with my internet. I was using the scp command to transfer I file via wifi to my freinds ipod.In the terminal it would say transfering at 1.8mb/s, 1 sec later 1.7, 1.6, all the way down to about 30 Kb/s. With every file. So I'm thinking this problem is bigger than just usb. The symptoms seems exactly the same | 20:03 |

| jim_dandy | Edmund: can you confirm this behaviour on usb 2.0 system directly attaching your drive to the pc? (ie. no hub) | 20:03 |
| Edmund | there is no hub, just a male to femal extension wire, because the port is on the back of my pc, thats all | 20:04 |
| Edmund | if it helps, it's a usb 2.0 pci card | 20:04 |

| inaety | yeah js0 shows up | 20:18 |
| maco | Aeronius: the deal is, theres a lot of places where free() isnt called and should be, or a data structure with lots of substructures is free()d without those substructures being free()d first | 20:18 |
| inaety | _DGM_, ZykoticK9 ^ | 20:18 |

| maco | _DGM_: with a /very/ simple program maybe... but something the size of mozilla? with circular allocations? cant free A, its used by B. cant free B its used by A. dont free anything! thatll work! *headdesk* | 20:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | inaety, did you turn off any analog stuff in epsxe already? can you config any of the buttons in the plugin controls? | 20:23 |
| inaety | ZykoticK9, what do you mean by analog stuff | 20:23 |
| MrUnagi | i am on the live cd trying to create an hfs+ partition with gparted, but it is greyed out, any ideas? | 20:23 |
| _DGM_ | maco: you can tell if thats true according to the reference count? | 20:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | inaety, sorry man i don't have epsxe installed on my HTPC right now, so i can't see the preferences. | 20:24 |
| hiku | MrUnagi: are you using sudo gparted? | 20:24 |
| _DGM_ | just delete on 0.. and don't forget increasing/decreasing anywhere | 20:24 |
| MrUnagi | yes | 20:24 |
| MrUnagi | hiku: ^ | 20:24 |
| Aeronius | maco: aside from using another program, what's the best workaround? killall firefox and restart it? | 20:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | inaety, i remember a checkbox/setting for analog or just a checkbox besides an "a" in the input area - be sure that is off. | 20:25 |
| maco | _DGM_: but if its circular, youre going "its at 1, dont delete" on *everything* in the circle...instead of realising that once you delete 1 of them the 1s drop to 0s like dominoes | 20:25 |
| trijntje | MrUnagi, maybe you have to install support for hfs+ first? its the same with ntfs | 20:25 |
| annie | It's quiet in here | 20:25 |
| maco | Aeronius: pretty much | 20:25 |
| mustafa | <Aeronius> thank you | 20:25 |
| inaety | ZykoticK9, okay well there are two config options. one for the keyboard, essentially. and another for an external game pad which is obviously what i want | 20:25 |
| Aeronius | mustafa: you're welcome | 20:26 |
| inaety | ZykoticK9, oh wait i found the analog part | 20:26 |
| _DGM_ | maco: thats true but in that case i wouldnt pick a ref counting system at all really. i'd try to design that differently. | 20:26 |
| thune3 | MrUnagi: does that disk have a swap partition that might have been mounted by livecd? | 20:26 |

| maco | _DGM_: tell that to netscape 15 years ago? :P | 20:27 |
| MrUnagi | thune3: one post i read said that you had to have hfsprogs installed, but apt doesnt find that, it finds hfsutils, that only gives me hfs | 20:27 |
| _DGM_ | maco: hehe 15 years ago i was 9.. hmmmm :P | 20:28 |
| trijntje | Sid123, !grub2 | 20:28 |
| econdudeawesome | econdudeawesome, !grub2 | 20:28 |
| thune3 | MrUnagi: i think you need to enable universe repository in software sources first. | 20:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | c3l, "that" process is Xorg - the GUI on your system - do you have compiz enabled? try disabling that if you do. | 20:28 |
| c3l | ZykoticK9: I dont have compiz enabled. is it gdm thats messing, or is it xorg? | 20:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | c3l, the process is X - it "might" be gdm that affecting it though | 20:29 |
| Sid123 | <trijntje>yeah | 20:30 |
| Thqrmt | Shredder has no way of contacting them, should I just cancel the payment? | 20:30 |
| c3l | any idea how I fix this? I dont really like it using all my cpu | 20:30 |
| inaety | ZykoticK9, its not working, even with analog off. I can try and edit the buttons, like have triangle be another button for example but my terminal says that no input is detected | 20:30 |
| thune3 | MrUnagi: hfsplus and hfsutils are in main hfsprogs is in universe | 20:31 |
| trijntje | Sid123, its quite a common problem, i'm sure its mentioned in the wiki somewhere | 20:31 |
| MrUnagi | thune3 got it thanks | 20:31 |

| ZykoticK9 | inaety, open a new terminal then type "cat /dev/input/js0" and pressing buttons and moving your joystick "should" show character in the terminal window - use the X to close the window when done testing it's working. | 20:32 |

| inaety | ZykoticK9, ahhh i got it because of the ps3 button being pressed | 20:35 |

| ZykoticK9 | annie, according to maco i'm wrong actually ;) | 21:05 |

| maco | annie: then in firefox set proxy as a SOCKS proxy using localhost and port 9999 | 21:05 |
| Slart | smilebar: ok.. that's probably because it won't get unless it's running when you start the applications.. now go to that terminal and run "pkill -9 nm-applet" and then "nm-applet &" | 21:05 |

| Peter222 | it was most important option for me in GnomeDo | 21:06 |
| annie | maco: I used the -N argument and a different port. The tunnel is open, my server is listening to port 8282 at home. I just can't browse the web when using the proxy | 21:06 |
| _joey | IdleOne: i would if you' | 21:06 |
| _joey | IdleOne: i would if you'd go to google and find the answer for me | 21:07 |
| annie | maco: I'm actually using FoxyProxy. But I've tried the network settings in firefox as well. | 21:07 |
| maco | annie: you want -D in there so it binds to the port | 21:07 |
| andersix | maco: it's not in my (updated today) 10.04. Still shows 2.2.14. A bug fixed in 2.2.16. Was *hoping* it would make it into the LTS repos. | 21:07 |

| codazoda | Hi. Recently I've had gedit lock up on me. So, I kill it (with the x). Then, I go to a terminal and gedit is still running (ps aux | grep gedit). But, the process id is changing rapidly (it's starting over and over again). "killall gedit" does nothing to help. Any way to kill this thing, other than a reboot? | 21:09 |
| annie | maco: kk... I'll try that. Thanks | 21:09 |
| andersix | maco: have never "nominated for release" before, so am ignorant as to the process. | 21:09 |
| _DGM_ | biodegabriel: there is no such thing as "the fastest" server. It depends on where you live. You can modify your mirror in the synaptic package manager | 21:09 |
| maco | andersix: there's a button that says "nominate for release" on the page. click it. | 21:09 |
| ZykoticK9 | codazoda, try "killall -9 gedit" to 'really' kill something | 21:09 |

| codazoda | ZykoticK9, that doesn't do it. It just starts again (new pid). | 21:10 |

| codazoda | What might be trying to restart gedit after a crash? Maybe I can kill or restart that. | 21:10 |
| andersix | maco: thx | 21:11 |
| biodegabriel | _DGM_ Understood. So how do I find out which server is fastest for my location? | 21:11 |
| codazoda | Rebooting fixes it, but I'd rather not have to do that... | 21:11 |
| urthmover | the sleep on idle used to work fine in 9.04....and I'm not sure where to look to see what has changed | 21:11 |

| SealedWithAKiss | My network manager icon has gone from my task bar - how do I get it back? | 21:15 |
| annie | maco: I'm using foxyproxy, and I did set the port to 8282. That is the only port setting I see. | 21:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | EvilPhoenix, why are you mixing Ubuntu and Debian repos? | 21:16 |
| maco | annie: 8282 is the port on the /server/ -- what port did you set for it to bind to locally? | 21:16 |
| EvilPhoenix | ZykoticK9: so that's the issue? | 21:16 |
| xangua | SealedWithAKiss: alt+f2 > nm-applet > enter | 21:16 |

| ZykoticK9 | EvilPhoenix, it's currently erroring a missing GPG key for a Debian repo yes. | 21:16 |
| annie | maco: that I don't know. I thought the server port was all that mattered. Are you asking what port firefox is using to call out on? | 21:16 |
| EvilPhoenix | ZykoticK9: where's the sources list stored so I can edit it? | 21:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | EvilPhoenix, /etc/apt i think | 21:17 |
| epp | or is there a way to see what my output is called for xrandr? | 21:17 |
| bobo123 | ZykoticK9: so a simple game that don't need any libraries that isn't installed in the system, is possible (but I can't use apt for that but something else?)? | 21:18 |
| EvilPhoenix | ZykoticK9: got rid of the debian thing, what about this: http://starfleet.pastebin.com/2gn1psWi | 21:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | bobo123, maybe? that something else would be manually copying the binaries into a subdir. | 21:18 |
| maco | annie: you need to bind ssh to a local port. thats what -D doe | 21:18 |
| maco | *does | 21:18 |
| maco | annie: so you need to do -D 1234 in addition to your user@ip:8282 | 21:19 |
| doors | hey all, question - what music player do you use? | 21:19 |
| maco | annie: and then put 1234 (or whatever number you give to -D) into your firefox config | 21:19 |

| EvilPhoenix | this is from a VPS image | 21:22 |

| maco | frankbro: installs sure seem to go faster on ssd. but all the writing firefox does to your ~/.mozilla will still have a nice impact on performance | 21:22 |
| |ntegra| | from what I'm reading here is that webkit is khtml (kde), goes fast, -not sure if OSX uses "the same" though or it's just the name | 21:22 |
| almoxarife | medibuntu ppa=non free | 21:22 |
| maco | |ntegra|: webkit is a fork of khtml | 21:23 |
| rww | EvilPhoenix: non-free hasn't ever existed as an Ubuntu repository. Our free repositories are main and universe, non-free are restricted and multiverse | 21:23 |
| frankbro | maco: ./mozilla is in /home no ? That will stay on the HDD | 21:23 |

| doors | maco: I thought midori used webkit... | 21:25 |
| maco | annie: i dont know. ive never used foxyproxy. for me, just using ff network settings, and "ssh -D portnumber" is enough | 21:25 |

| hiku | annie: are you running a proxy server on your desktop? | 21:45 |
| mdgeorge | doors: at least that's where I started | 21:45 |
| hiku | annie: what ssh command are you using for the port tunneling.? | 21:46 |
| annie | hiku: I am as best as I understood how to do it. | 21:46 |
| hiku | annie: ok here is how I have my proxy gateway setup. | 21:46 |
| annie | hiku: ssh -D port user@remote -p port | 21:46 |
| annie | hiku: and any variation of the above | 21:47 |
| doors | mdgeorge: usually I'd go make && make modules_install | 21:47 |
| hiku | annie: proxy host (running squid on port 8002), my ssh command from my desktop to the proxy gateway is. ssh -L 8002:localhost:8002 ps1 (ps1 is the proxy gateway) | 21:47 |
| doors | then look for a file in that dir called bzImage | 21:47 |
| doors | then copy that to /boot, and point grub at it... | 21:47 |
| mdgeorge | doors: so you'd bypass the deb system | 21:47 |
| hiku | annie: then I have my firefox proxy settings look at localhost:8002 | 21:47 |
| doors | mdgeorge: unless it's giving you a .deb I guess it's worth a try | 21:48 |
| mdgeorge | doors: ok, I'll give that a shot. | 21:48 |
| mdgeorge | thanks! | 21:48 |
| doors | is it completing successfully, I mean what are you actually getting after you do make-kpkg clean | 21:48 |
| doors | mdgeorge: make SURE that you leave your old image there and pointed at by grub as a fallback | 21:48 |
| doors | :) | 21:48 |
| doors | have fun | 21:48 |
| mdgeorge | doors: natch | 21:49 |
| mdgeorge | doors: I'm getting a .deb, which I can install | 21:49 |
| doors | ohhh | 21:49 |
| annie | hiku: even more confused now. of all the tutorials I've read, this is the first I've even heard of squid | 21:49 |
| mdgeorge | doors: but that kernel doesn't boot, because there's no initrd | 21:49 |
| mdgeorge | doors: I managed to coax it into creating an initrd, and it will actually boot | 21:49 |
| mdgeorge | doors: but then there's no video | 21:49 |
| doors | might need to give it parameters... | 21:50 |
| mdgeorge | doors: whereas if I install the original ubuntu package it works (except it isn't patched, obviously) | 21:50 |
| hiku | annie: the -L option is to setup a local port of 8002:localhost to port 8002 on the remote proxy server. | 21:50 |
| clincher | i have a problem, i just installed ubuntu 10.04. Videos arent playing correctly, it feels like it has no video drivers but, according to ubuntu, it does. Its an HP dv4 2013 | 21:51 |
| doors | mdgeorge: try patching it, then genkernel | 21:51 |
| doors | genkernel is a bit of a sledgehammer, but it often works... | 21:51 |
| mdgeorge | doors: isn't genkernel a gentoo thing? | 21:51 |
| hiku | annie: so to test it, your proxyserver is by default running on port 3128 I believe. so you can use ssh -L 8002:localhost:3128 (proxy gate) | 21:51 |
| doors | isn't it just a package | 21:51 |
| mdgeorge | apt-cache search genkernel yields naught | 21:51 |
| hiku | annie: then make sure that firefox is listening to localhost:8002 | 21:52 |
| doors | mdgeorge: apparantly not. you learn a new thing every day | 21:52 |
| DJIndy | I'm running Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.04 and trying to play a video from a Flip Video UltraHD camera, which says its .mp4. I can play other .mp4 files and I have the restricted extras and gstreamer bad and ugly codecs, but the videos don't play correctly (audio works fine in the background). Are there more .mp4 codecs or some articles on fixing such issues? | 21:52 |
| mdgeorge | :) | 21:52 |
| doors | mdgeorge: in which case, what I guess it would do is just to enable loads of modules | 21:52 |
| guntbert | mdgeorge: doors: compiling kernels is not exactly on topic here :-) | 21:52 |
| mdgeorge | guntbert: ok, where would it be on-topic? | 21:53 |
| nimbiotics | hi guys ... I created a folder a couple of hours ago and the folder and the files i put in there showed a little white on red X on their icons. I thought it probly had to do with ubuntu one but now its only the folder that has the X. What does that X mean?? TIA! | 21:53 |
| annie | hiku: now I'm lost. I need some server software running on my desktop at home? | 21:53 |
| hiku | annie: yes, for it to act as a proxy gateway to the internet | 21:53 |
| mdgeorge | guntbert: because I'd really like to compile the kernel the same way it's done in the ubuntu packages | 21:53 |

| s3a | thune3, still not good unfortunately because i launch my terminals using my windows/super user key | 22:13 |

| doobiest | gnome-terminal --geometry=120x35+20+40 | 22:14 |

| doobiest | voxyn its in synaptic | 22:14 |
| s3a | doobiest, no that makes it temporary | 22:14 |
| doobiest | do you want the whole netbook remix or just the netbook-launcher? i just use the launcher | 22:14 |
| s3a | tehowe, is xterm for GNOME? | 22:14 |
| voxyn | i just want the interface ;) | 22:14 |
| doobiest | s3a i have that as a shortcut, if that does what you need | 22:14 |
| doobiest | s3a i added the terminal shortcut to the panel, then edited it and put in what i pasted to you | 22:15 |
| doobiest | maybe im misunderstanding what you want | 22:15 |
| tehowe | s3a: Yeah check that forum thread I pasted in, that's got all the details | 22:15 |
| s3a | doobiest, ya i thought about that too but that would imply that i need to click on a shortcut instead of pressing my windows key | 22:15 |
| doobiest | s3a, you want to launch a terminal with a hotkey then or what? | 22:15 |
| doobiest | you could make a script in /usr/local/bin, paste in what i gave you, and chmod +x to it | 22:16 |
| doobiest | then bind that to a hotkey | 22:16 |

| PumaMania | I am getting ready to install Ubuntu on my older (circa 2006) Dell Desktop. I would like to dual boot with my existing Windows XP and I am getting ready to install. I have empty space on my hard drive, if I choose "Install them side by side", it won't let me choose that empty space, but if I choose "Largest Continuous Free Space" it chooses what I want, but will I still be able to run XP and Ubuntu side by side? | 22:20 |
| doobiest | pumamania i personally would pick to specify the partitions manually.. it will launch gparted and let you pick | 22:21 |
| Masshuu | this is a silly question, but can i run LXC in an openvz container | 22:21 |
| rtrd | thechris: You specifically need this? It seems very outdated. | 22:22 |
| PumaMania | Ok doobiest, I chose that option and I found my free space, I double click and get a Create New Partition Window. What do I do from here? | 22:22 |
| random222 | hi all. what's the best software to remotely edit text files? I can ssh into the remote machine from a local ubuntu machine. | 22:23 |
| thechris | rtrd: yes, I'm attempting to run a 3rd party program. It seems that everything else uses libstdc++.so.6, except 1 program | 22:23 |
| doobiest | if it shows an ntfs partitiona and free space, right click on free space, make a swap partition the same size as how much ram you have, right click on the remaining free space, make a partition that is ext3 or ext4 | 22:23 |
| random222 | and i would like a graphical user interface like gedit. i know i can use vim on the remote machine. | 22:23 |
| doobiest | the ext patitions be mounted to / when you finish parititioning | 22:24 |
| doobiest | dont format the NTFS, theres a check box, and the installer will add XP to your boot menu | 22:24 |
| guntbert | random222: then use ssh -X (big X) and gedit | 22:24 |
| chemical-death | random222: "nano" is an easy editor | 22:24 |
| doobiest | random222 and guntbert, keep in mind that X11 forwarding has to be enabled on the server, which it probably is | 22:24 |
| PumaMania | What is the difference between "Primary" and "Logical" in this window? | 22:25 |
| tucemiux | how do I update using the command line?? | 22:25 |
| doobiest | make them primary | 22:26 |
| voxyn | sudo apt-get update? | 22:26 |
| doobiest | both | 22:26 |
| doobiest | you can only have 4 primary partitions, so a logical partition is basically a wrapper, to allow more than 4 | 22:26 |
| Gnurdux | hmm so: i just got a new Asus N61jq laptop. I updated the kernel so that Turbo Boost would work, but now the multitouch trackpad doesnt work :( | 22:26 |
| PumaMania | And I can still use XP with this, right? | 22:26 |
| bastid_raZor | tucemiux: sudo apt-get update :this will update your package list.. then sudo apt-get upgrade :this will do the actual upgrading | 22:26 |
| Gnurdux | it still works as a mouse, but in the old kernel, it worked properly | 22:26 |
| rtrd | thechris: What exactly? Is it pre-build? | 22:27 |
| andyn | so, the maximum is 4 primary partitions or 3 primaries + 1 extended which contains 4 logical partitions for a total of 7 | 22:27 |
| Gnurdux | is it incorrect that a newer kernel is needed for turbo boost? | 22:27 |
| doobiest | yes | 22:27 |
| jesgar | Hi! | 22:27 |

| C-S-B-N900 | you can create a socks proxy with ssh with -D, however its no use doing this between 2 pcs in your network. | 22:56 |
| ilovefairuz | Annie: will you be located on the same network while using the proxy? if so, you can more easily use SSH X forwarding feature to use remote applications without any further configuration | 22:56 |
| Annie | ilovefairuz: I will be outside of the network when using the proxy | 22:56 |
| C-S-B-N900 | Annie: do want to improve browsing speed or encrypt traffic? | 22:57 |
| Annie | C-S-B-N900: I've tried the -D argument, but that didn't seem to help. What does -D actually do? | 22:57 |
| ilovefairuz | Annie: it ultimately depends on the connection speed | 22:57 |
| C-S-B-N900 | Annie: use ssh -D8080 user@host | 22:58 |
| Annie | C-S-B-N900: I want to encrypt traffic, a friend is over sees and I want her to browse with no worries | 22:58 |

Alot of the times I'll have my left display off or on a tv channel or some other source but with 10.04 apps ALWAYS open to the left screen, forcing me to change the source, drag them over and change back, any ideas on a fix? | 23:34 |
| agmin | ilovefairuz: ah, thank you much for the help, looks like I can't get the newest version... | 23:34 |
| Tyrannis | Is there something in Python similar to subscripting a string | 23:34 |
| whileimhere231 | ilovefairuz I will give it a run. | 23:34 |

| gangil | ls -al | grep [java$] | 23:34 |
| gangil | is the above expression write if I need to find all java files in a dir>? | 23:35 |
| aeon-ltd | whileimhere231: what spec pc btw? | 23:35 |
| Tyrannis | gangil, just .java? or jar, class, etc | 23:35 |
| whileimhere231 | a p3 with 512 meg ram | 23:35 |
| ilovefairuz | agmin: why? check the versions available using: apt-cache policy libxml2 | 23:35 |
| gangil | Tyrannis: just java | 23:35 |
| aeon-ltd | whileimhere231: gpu? | 23:35 |
| ilovefairuz | gangil: ls *.java | 23:35 |
| whileimhere231 | 800mgz | 23:36 |
| whileimhere231 | I mean mhz | 23:36 |
| ilovefairuz | Tyrannis: ask in #python | 23:36 |
| aeon-ltd | whileimhere231: thats plenty for mame | 23:36 |
| Tyrannis | Thanks ilovefairuz | 23:36 |
| chimp | How can I make the system beep use the computer speakers rather than the internal beepy one? | 23:36 |
| whileimhere231 | yeah but there are roms like MK that work fine with the same setup but with high machine specs that a friend has | 23:36 |
| aeon-ltd | whileimhere231: to conserve resources just uninstall everything you don't and wouldn't ever use, watch what daemons upstart starts at boot and remove some of them | 23:37 |
| whileimhere231 | good idea. | 23:37 |
| whileimhere231 | Ill try that tonight. | 23:37 |
| whileimhere231 | I know that it cannot handle mame on Win XP. Everything goes slow | 23:38 |
| aeon-ltd | whileimhere231: if you want the lightest possible config, use ground up distros like gentoo, arch linux, ubuntu server and debian | 23:38 |
| whileimhere231 | Is there a better wm to use for MAME? I still need X to use the GUI for it. | 23:38 |
| aeon-ltd | whileimhere231: look up tiling WMs, they run apps full screen by default | 23:39 |
| ilovefairuz | whileimhere231: I second that, arch will probably give the least resource usage with little to no extra configuration (apart from installation) | 23:39 |

| ilovefairuz | whileimhere231: although ubuntu "jeos" will be pretty comparable | 23:40 |
| whileimhere231 | should I use a swap partition and if I should should I make it larger than my 512 of ram | 23:41 |
| ilovefairuz | whileimhere231: double that for swap | 23:41 |

| whileimhere231 | ty guys | 23:42 |
| whileimhere231 | Ill report back in a bit | 23:42 |
| aeon-ltd | whileimhere231: yeah the rule is 1.5x ram to 2x ram | 23:42 |
| Dr_Willis | whileimhere231: mame being slow.. would depend on what game you are playing on it. :) pacman runs quite well on my low low end machines. | 23:42 |
| whileimhere231 | Dr_willis: Oh Pacman runs fine. I am thinking more like samuri showdown and such. | 23:43 |
| whileimhere231 | I of course loved Atomic FE for a front end but that is windows only and I did give it a try. While Atomic FE worked flawlessly MAME itself would slow down on roms that never slowed down on the Linux install I did with this hardware. | 23:45 |
| Dr_Willis | Given the range of games/systems mame emulates im not suprised. :) | 23:45 |
| rsvp | aeon-ltd et al. -- what happens if one goes 5x RAM ?? is there ever a performance penalty for doing so? or is it just a matter of available disk space? | 23:45 |
| Trashi | hi guys. im using pureftpd with tcpserver but it ignores hosts.deny ... do you know what the reason could be? | 23:46 |
| aeon-ltd | rsvp: your just wasting hdd space unless you know a app that caches that much data to swap space | 23:46 |
| gary_inNYC | for some reason i have 2 broadcast accounts when i click the indicator applet. how can i manage this so i only have 1? | 23:47 |
| hiku | rsvp: I look at it this way. if any app I run requires lots of swap or for the most part, any swap, and I have 2GB or more of ram, then something is really wrong. usually 2GB ram = 4GB swap. but, I also run systems with -2x the swap and most of the time things are fine | 23:48 |
| trism | gary_inNYC: this happens occasionally, should be fixed if you log out, then back in | 23:48 |
| gary_inNYC | trism: thanks i'll try that | 23:48 |
| filosofixit | I've searched the net for information about vanilla-kernel support for mastermode on the RALINK RT61 chip in 10.04 but can not find anything... anyone here who knows? | 23:49 |

| filosofixit | is it possible to connect to computers via wifi without setting up one computer as a AP whick requires master mode? | 23:51 |

| pil | ubuntu pocket guide it says that "It’s important to note that the files aren’t literally copied to the folder. They’re made available in a virtual way. You can manipulate the files and folders like any other files and folders, and although it might appear as if they’re contained in that particular folder, they aren’t. Anything that might have already been in the folder used as the mount point will temporarily disappear. However, the contents are still th | 23:56 |

| thune3 | Martin|2: you might add the ppa and have it update all your git sub-packages. What requires git>1.6.6 ? | 23:56 |
| Dr_Willis | pil: if you accidently copy stuff to (for example) /media/MyFancyDisk directory.. when your 'MyFancyDisk' is not mounted.. it just goes to that directrry. | 23:56 |

| Guest2952 | got a grub problem. When I boot to windows I get "unknown device" and "unknown partition". I can fix windows with a fixmbr, but that breaks grub. I can fix grub with grub-install but now I have my first problem again. Help? | 23:57 |
