| maco | Rabbitbunny: are you trying to configure a static ip? | 00:00 |
| aeon-ltd | raven: you don't your router & isp assign your ips, unless you meant local | 00:00 |
| maco | raven: ^ | 00:00 |
| maco | Rabbitbunny: sorry | 00:00 |
| raven | marco right | 00:00 |
| br4inp4in | ger channel? | 00:00 |
| maco | raven: you're talking about your /internal/ ip, right? | 00:00 |
| raven | maco right | 00:00 |
| glassresistor | [thor]: nm its actually just byobu-conf | 00:00 |
| maco | raven: /etc/network/interfaces is where you can setup a static ip | 00:00 |
| maco | raven: there's a man page with the syntax; man 5 interfaces | 00:01 |
| maco | raven: would tell more, but ive never actually done static, so.... have to refer you to the manpage | 00:01 |
| [thor] | glassresistor: nice.. i just recently found the joys of byobu hehe.. i spent 20mins or so figuring out what all the readouts were.. and trying to memorize their color combos.. | 00:01 |

| So_Confused | I have Ubuntu installed on a separate partition on my macbook. Is it odd that they BOTH show up in my routers dhcp client list even though I booted in Ubuntu? | 00:02 |
| Quaxir | glassresistor, which one is right input method? "libstatnet" or "/proc/net/dev", both of them show network-card and some bandwith :S | 00:02 |
| glassresistor | [thor]: spent some time making a pretty sweet purple color combo, b4 lucid came up still haven't updated my laptop | 00:02 |
| nimbiotics | hello everyone. Which is the file i need to edit in order to open a shared folder in a windows pc? TIA! | 00:03 |
| Jordan_U | So_Confused: Routers often cache DHCP leases, sometimes for days or weeks after the machine in question has disconnected. | 00:03 |
| headkase314 | cesc, you still there and making any headway? I'm now home on my own machine! hooray! ;) | 00:03 |
| erUSUL | nimbiotics: Places>Connec to serve or Places>Network>windows network | 00:03 |
| glassresistor | Quaxir: i don't have libstatnet but i think it probably just polls that file so it doesn't matter | 00:04 |
| adi11 | ```````````` | 00:04 |
| So_Confused | Jordan_U: cool beans.... ty | 00:04 |
| Quaxir | glassresistor, ookey.. I'll stick with "/proc/net/dev" thingy then | 00:04 |

| adi11 | anyone know what this is about? | 00:05 |
| erUSUL | glassresistor: a netbook as DB server ??? | 00:05 |
| headkase314 | adi11, is it a downloaded .flv file? | 00:05 |
| cesc | headkase314 no I just gave up for now... I switched off that pc which makes a lot of noise... and just woking on my ubuntu 10.04 right now. I'll continue tomorrow. | 00:05 |
| glassresistor | erUSUL: not as a server, as a dev box | 00:05 |
| adi11 | its a youtube video trogh totem media player | 00:05 |
| Jordan_U | adi11: Is there another user who recently was watching a youtube video? If you're grabbing the video from /tmp you may have grabbed another user's file. | 00:06 |
| headkase314 | cesc, good luck then. I hope someone can help you soon! | 00:06 |
| adi11 | its not a downloaded file in pc | 00:06 |
| nimbiotics | erUSUL: a few days ago i was instructed to modify a file so i could access this share, just cant rememeber which one it is, cause none of the other methods have worked for me | 00:06 |
| glassresistor | erUSUL: so one user, i could have the db run on server at home but i don | 00:06 |
| Jordan_U | adi11: You're using the youtube browsing plugin? | 00:06 |
| glassresistor | 't wanna kill my offices bandwidth for data dumps and the like | 00:06 |
| headkase314 | adi11, you are trying to play a video directly from the youtube website? | 00:06 |
| erUSUL | nimbiotics: maybe was /etc/fstab ? to mount a windows share on boot ? | 00:06 |
| adi11 | no | 00:06 |
| cesc | headkase314, I think is a matter of perseverance. Sooner or later I'll find the solution. | 00:06 |
| nimbiotics | erUSUL: thats is, thatnks! | 00:07 |
| opij | erUSUL, are you an op or staff for #ubuntu? | 00:07 |
| adi11 | totem media player has a plugin to play youtube video through totem | 00:07 |
| erUSUL | opij: no | 00:07 |
| headkase314 | cesc, yes - it will probably be you come online sometime and by chance there will be someone who knows the exact method! So, don't give up! | 00:07 |

| raven | how to write a vbox vdi image to a real hdd? | 00:07 |
| adi11 | totem | 00:07 |

| adi11 | it used to work fine in other version of ubuntu | 00:08 |
| adi11 | im on lucid now | 00:08 |
| cesc | headkase314, for sure. Here I always find people prone to help other people. Very helpful channel this one. | 00:08 |
| erUSUL | raven: use quemu-imag to convert to raw image? then dd to final destination ( a partition ) ? sunno if it would work | 00:08 |
| adi11 | is it just me who have this? | 00:09 |
| erUSUL | dunno* | 00:09 |
| headkase314 | adi11, youtube recently had a change in the web-pages that broke downloading programs. Do you know if your totem received an update recently specifically for that issue? | 00:09 |
| Jordan_U | adi11: It looks like a bug, youtube probably changed their URLs a bit recently breaking the plugin. | 00:09 |
| headkase314 | cesc, ;) :) | 00:09 |
| Jordan_U | adi11: No, I just tried it and it's happening to me also (was working for me recently, in 10.04) | 00:09 |
| adi11 | so every body cant watch youtube video through totem? or its just me? | 00:09 |
| adi11 | is there a workaround | 00:10 |
| Oer | shockwave flash 10.1 r82 works fine in Firefox | 00:10 |

| anubis | ty | 00:24 |
| erUSUL | anubis: "sudo service --status-all" may be more handy | 00:24 |
| Jordan_U | carlosgaldino: According to their site they offer free DNS, so wherever you are connecting to the internet probably uses them for DNS. | 00:25 |
| anubis | and then sudo kill service? | 00:25 |
| Jordan_U | carlosgaldino: You can use openDNS instead. | 00:25 |

| headkase314 | gbally, what are you trying to find? | 00:47 |
| gbally | chrome .deb file downloaded by firefox | 00:47 |
| toxew | Hi everyone | 00:47 |
| Dr_Willis | rhonda_: close any programs accessing teh usb thing. | 00:47 |
| sacarlson | gbally: did you look in firefox preference>genererl>download | 00:47 |
| zagabar | For some strange reason, mutt has changed the editor it uses for mails from nano to some strange "joes own editor". How can I revert it? I haven't consciously changed it to this. | 00:47 |
| headkase314 | gbally, see Muelli - does that work? | 00:47 |
| erUSUL | gbally: run in terminal --> « find ~/ -name '*.deb' -print » | 00:48 |
| gbally | it downloaded and I can't run it in the gui. I tried clicking in firefox open with gdebi but it doesnt work | 00:48 |
| Dr_Willis | zagabar: it may be using what ever the EDITOR variable is set to | 00:48 |
| erUSUL | zagabar: check your VISUAL or EDITOR env variables | 00:48 |
| Ober7 | gbally: < Muelli> gbally: press Ctrl+Y in firefox to bring the download widget up, then rightclick your download and "open folder". | 00:48 |
| gbally | preferences - i stated desktop, but its not there | 00:48 |
| zagabar | Dr_Willis, erUSUL: I just set the EDITOR variable to "vi". No change. | 00:49 |
| gbally | and ober7, i've done that. everytime i select open location, it asks with what file..instead of showing me the location | 00:49 |
| erUSUL | zagabar: also the alternative for editor « sudo update-alternatives --config editor » | 00:49 |
| headkase314 | gbally, redownload it and take note of where it's going - try to put it in ~/Downloads | 00:49 |
| rhonda_ | says the file system is busy and wont erase | 00:49 |
| headkase314 | gbally, under Edit > Preferences in Firefox you can set the download location or make it ask you for every download. | 00:50 |
| _Tinman_ | I'm on the ubuntu 10.04 live cd, mounted a remote smb share and can access it from the current user - but can't access the share from root account... any idea?! | 00:50 |
| glassresistor | im having an issue with the bootdisk mounting my swap on harddrive so i can't format it | 00:50 |
| headkase314 | gbally, just looked in firefox, the download settings are under the General tab | 00:50 |
| glassresistor | wtf | 00:50 |
| gbally | headkase, i've done that. i've selected desktop, but its not there. | 00:50 |
| zagabar | erUSUL: Yeye, that solved it. Thanks. Any idea on how it could have magically changed to joe? | 00:50 |
| rhonda_ | Kingston DT 101 II: PENDRIVE is what its cALLED | 00:51 |
| erUSUL | zagabar: during joe installation i guess. it may have precedence over vi and nano | 00:51 |

| headkase314 | gbally, do you have your desktop icons hidden? If so they won't show although it will still be in Places > Desktop | 00:51 |
| zagabar | erUSUL: I don't ever recall installing joe. | 00:51 |
| _Tinman_ | the reason I need access from root, is because I try to clone the hdd to the remote share, i.e., dd if=/dev/sda of=/remote/smb/share/clone.img | 00:51 |
| gbally | well i see 3 files there, so it should not be hidden | 00:52 |
| erUSUL | zagabar: well; someone did. i do not think is a requeriment of any other package | 00:52 |
| _Tinman_ | dd seems to need root to access /dev/sda | 00:52 |
| maco | _Tinman_: makes sense | 00:52 |
| gbally | why does it ask me what file i want to use when i select Open File Location in the firefox downloader | 00:52 |
| headkase314 | gbally, edit firefox preferences so it asks you where to download it then save to /home/yourUserName/Downloads and then when the download is complete go to Places > Downloads | 00:53 |
| maco | _Tinman_: since itd be reading bits of files that belong to everybody | 00:53 |
| _Tinman_ | maci, indeed, the problem is that root can't access the remote smb share | 00:53 |
| _Tinman_ | maco* | 00:53 |
| maco | _Tinman_: manually mount the remote share as root rather than using the normal user's gui way of mounting | 00:53 |
| headkase314 | gbally, if you are opening it it will be stored in /tmp and if you close firefox before installing in gdebi then gdebi will lose the file because firefox will clear its /tmp files on exit | 00:53 |
| sacarlson | _Tinman_: on the same computer? | 00:54 |
| glassresistor | anyone know how to umount swap or keep if from being mounted by the livecd? | 00:54 |

| Karen_m | using alacarte, how can I add a menu entry for "ssh -l karen domain.com" . I added it like that, and it is not smart enough to pop up a gnome-terminal. I tried "gnome-terminal ssh -l karen domain.com" and it doesn't pop up either :( | 00:55 |
| glassresistor | aeon-ltd: on the boot command or in the shell? | 00:56 |
| aeon-ltd | Karen_m: gnome-terminal -e "ssh -l karen@domain.com" | 00:56 |
| gbally | shall do | 00:56 |
| aeon-ltd | glassresistor: in a terminal | 00:56 |
| cesc | erUSUL, maybe we have different keyboard layouts and CTRL+D works differently from each other... damn it.. now I don't know how to exit to shell promt. | 00:56 |
| zagabar | erUSUL: That is really strange then... I am the only root and I have never heard of the joe editor before so I can't have installed it if it is not a requirement. :S | 00:57 |
| aeon-ltd | glassresistor: you might need sudo | 00:57 |
| erUSUL | cesc: crtl + c ? | 00:57 |
| Karen_m | aeon-ltd, , thank you | 00:57 |
| cesc | erUSUL, no it doesn't work | 00:57 |
| aeon-ltd | Karen_m: your welcome | 00:58 |
| erUSUL | cesc: crtl + d is universalyy EOF end of file in many unix commands | 00:58 |
| glassresistor | aeon-ltd: thanks ill try it | 00:58 |
| cesc | erUSUL, so I don't know what's going on here. | 00:59 |
| Pici | cesc: make sure that you don't have caps-lock on. | 00:59 |
| rhonda_ | how do i go in terminal as root? | 00:59 |
| erUSUL | cesc: neither do I... | 00:59 |
| erUSUL | !rootshell | rhonda_ | 00:59 |
| ubottu | rhonda_: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) | 00:59 |

| Dr_Willis | blade: the aircrack homepage/forums perhaps? | 01:05 |
| cesc | headkase314, sudo shutdown at now +2 hours would work as well? | 01:05 |
| Dr_Willis | I though aircrack only worked with specicic chipsets also. | 01:06 |
| blade | Dr_Willis, tryed but no joy | 01:06 |
| headkase314 | cesc, I think that is what you are trying to do.. Can someone else confirm too? | 01:06 |
| hiku | cesc: why not use cron to have your system shutdown in 2hrs? or schedule it with the shutdown command? man shutdown | 01:06 |
| headkase314 | cesc, in a console try "man shutdown" and that will tell you all about it's options. Quit "man" with the q key and use arrow keys to scroll text. | 01:07 |
| cesc | hiku, cron is an app? | 01:07 |
| === raven is now known as Guest94709 | ||
| hiku | cesc: cron is similar to windows at command | 01:07 |
| Pici | cesc: the shutdown command itself probably does exactly what you need. | 01:07 |
| hiku | cesc: man crontab | 01:07 |
| headkase314 | cesc, "man" is the (man)ual command, works for practically all programs. | 01:07 |
| gbally | headkase, no change | 01:08 |
| cesc | thanks guys. | 01:08 |
| gbally | should i reinstall gdebi | 01:08 |
| === Guest94709 is now known as _raven | ||
| headkase314 | gbally, edit firefox preferences so it asks you where to download it then save to /home/yourUserName/Downloads and then when the download is complete go to Places > Downloads | 01:08 |
| headkase314 | gbally, once you go to where you downloaded it you can double-click it and gdebi will come up then you can install Chrome. | 01:09 |

| es | Ober7: of dpkg | 01:16 |
| n-iCe | headkase314: right click, and select always on top, you know what I'm talking about? | 01:16 |
| sacarlson | es: then just remove the files that were installed in the package off the disk I guess. | 01:16 |
| Ober7 | purge is only for comfiguration files, wont make a difference | 01:17 |

| n-iCe | yeah, the windows as it does not allow to use the option, clicking on the bar window does. | 01:18 |
| headkase314 | n-iCe, because I'm using the beta version of Chrome and sometimes it doesn't update the screen fully. I switch back and forth - right now with firefox.. | 01:18 |

| sentry | I have dvd::rip | 01:35 |
| sacarlson | zelrikriando: try places>connect to server>service type ssh | 01:35 |
| headkase314 | sentry, ok awesome! | 01:35 |
| isaia | how can i add samba to a group and run it as a user ? | 01:36 |
| sentry | i tried dvd::rip but i could never get a dvd to rip | 01:36 |
| headkase314 | sentry, I found that dvd::rip would copy the files to the hard drive fine then hang, closing it and restarting it then it would continue normally from there. That was an older version however: I do not know if this still happens with Ubuntu 10.04's version. | 01:38 |
| gbally | still around headkase? | 01:38 |
| kyentei | People... what's this with dvd::rip? Why not simply just dd or cat /dev/sr0 to a file? | 01:38 |
| headkase314 | sentry, specifically it would hang on making the thumbnails so closing it and restarting you would then have the files on your hard drive and it could continue. | 01:39 |
| gbally | i continue to re-download google-chrome .deb on firefox, and it continues to not show me the location | 01:39 |
| headkase314 | gbally, yup! how goes the battle? | 01:39 |
| gbally | all i want to do is have it work. | 01:39 |
| gbally | download chrome and run | 01:39 |
| kyentei | gbally: then copy the download link, open a terminal and type in "wget LINK" | 01:40 |
| gbally | yes, i know that possible, yet I want to have the GUI work | 01:40 |
| headkase314 | gbally, can you go to Tools > Downloads in firefox and open the location from there? | 01:40 |
| gbally | the location i have stated in the firefox preferences is desktop. desktop is blank. | 01:40 |
| gbally | other files are visible on desktop | 01:41 |
| gbally | just not any downloads | 01:41 |
| zelrikriando | sacarlson: connect to what server? | 01:41 |
| sacarlson | the one you want to connect to | 01:41 |
| zelrikriando | ... | 01:41 |
| === kierra is now known as Guest45863 | ||
| headkase314 | gbally, is there a single period (.) before the file name? If so it will be hidden but it really shouldn't be that - I'm grasping at straws here.. | 01:41 |
| kyentei | gbally: Open your desktop in nautilus then. You could be hiding your icons. | 01:41 |
| zelrikriando | that s ok, something is working now | 01:42 |
| gbally | if I go to tools and downloads, i can have the file run from there, yet when i choose gdebi as the opener - nothing happens. | 01:42 |
| sacarlson | zelrikriando: do you know the ip address of the computer you want to connect? maybe look at this it's old but almost the same http://thanhsiang.org/faqing/node/114 | 01:42 |
| sentry | what is command for updating a file | 01:42 |
| headkase314 | gbally, give me a second with google | 01:42 |
| gbally | if I select open containing folder, it too brings up the OPEN with option, which is odd. | 01:42 |
| sentry | nvermind | 01:43 |
| sentry | nevermind* | 01:43 |
| gbally | i really want to know where the files are downloading to , i tried "Locate google-chrome" but it returns with nothing. | 01:44 |
| headkase314 | gbally, you should be downloading the .deb file and are you downloading the correct architecture? Are you 32 or 64-bit and are you choosing the matching .deb file? | 01:44 |
| gbally | i'm on 32. architecture is right, and that should not be an issue in terms of finding the file or selecting open location in the download bar | 01:45 |
| headkase314 | gbally, if you are 32-bit and downloading the 64-bit file gdebi may be failing silently when trying to open the file or vice-versa if you are 64-bit and opening a 32-bit file? | 01:45 |
| Ober7 | gbally: try locate debfilename.deb | 01:45 |
| === neutrino is now known as tar- | ||
| sentry | what is gwibber? | 01:46 |
| headkase314 | gbally, choosing open with gdebi should work as long as you don't close firefox before installing it in gdebi. I'm at a loss to why gdebi is not handling the file. | 01:46 |
| Daekdroom | sentry, a small program that handles social networks like twitter, facebook | 01:46 |
| sentry | what do it have to do with mencoder? | 01:46 |
| gbally | nothing. | 01:47 |
| gbally | can't find the file | 01:47 |
| gbally | locate returns nothing | 01:47 |
| headkase314 | gbally, have you tried to save the file to somewhere other than "desktop"? | 01:47 |
| isaia | is there a posibility to make samba run as user : "www-data" for example, and if yes how do you do that ? | 01:48 |
| mintypu | can any one help me to use terminal viewer client | 01:48 |
| gbally | no I have not. | 01:48 |
| jk_ | gbally, try "sudo find / -name google* -print" and see if that does anything. "locate" uses an index that may not get rebuilt until tomorrow morning's cron.daily run. | 01:48 |
| kyentei | gbally: Just use wget now.. please. | 01:48 |
| gbally | but i believe the solution may lie in the fact that not even selecting open file location is working | 01:48 |
| headkase314 | gbally, try to save it to your "Downloads" folder then when downloaded go to Places > Downloads | 01:48 |
| headkase314 | kyentei, do you have a complete command line for wget? | 01:49 |
| sacarlson | gbally: after you changed you firefox download directory you downloaded the file you wanted again? | 01:50 |
| kyentei | headkase314: let me get you one with the .deb file of chrome included. THat's required, right? | 01:50 |
| headkase314 | kyentei, ;) hoping the effort could be distributed across multiple people! :p | 01:51 |
| gbally | yes, i downloaded the file over 20 times now | 01:51 |
| kyentei | headkase314: 64 or 32 bit? | 01:51 |
| kyentei | headkase314: wget http://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb | 01:52 |
| gbally | Right now i'm using wget which is downloading now. I'm also going to attempt to download with the choice menu of where i want to save the file to. | 01:52 |
| headkase314 | kyentei, 32 bit yup that's the line! Thank you very much! | 01:52 |
| gbally | in firefox | 01:52 |
| headkase314 | gbally, see kyentei's line just above | 01:52 |
| sacarlson | gbally: maybe we should take a look at what you have set your download directory to by going to firefox >edit>preferences>general and hit the keys alt print-screen-request | 01:53 |

| gbally | sorry, sound retarded but i'm new to this system | 01:56 |
| tonsofpcs | gbally: what do you mean by "took a prntscrn" ? | 01:56 |
| sacarlson | gbally: I thought you already found the file so I guess we don't need it? or are we still looking for it? I thought you found it in /tmp | 01:56 |
| deco | screen shot | 01:56 |
| deco | tonsofpcs: | 01:57 |
| gbally | i've also realized that, when i went back in to change the location, it wouldnt allow me to select Desktop as the download location. I could only force it once I right clicked and selected show hidden files. Then i was able to reselect DeskTop as the download location | 01:57 |
| gbally | you wanted a print screen correct, to take a look at my desktop? | 01:57 |
| IdleOne | !paste | 01:57 |

| sacarlson | gbally: I didn't want the desktop I wanted a shot of firefox on the preferences page but I think you got it already fixed up | 01:58 |
| gbally | my question was after the print screen. does it autosave to a location, or how do i get ahold of the shot? | 01:58 |
| headkase314 | gbally, it'll save to your - wait for it - desktop ;) | 01:59 |
| IdleOne | gbally: it should open up a window and ask where to save it | 01:59 |
| m_a_r_k | anybody here know how to fix apt package version problems? | 01:59 |

| sacarlson | gbally: well you you want to share it with us idleone has showed you the place to go to send it http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | 02:00 |
| headkase314 | gbally, if the file exists in /tmp you can also go there using nautilus and double-click it there. | 02:00 |

| robertzaccour | coz_: if thats the case i'll get on amazon and order one | 02:07 |
| sacarlson | gbally: I'm not sure about why you can't use desktop but I would set the download path to /home/gbally/download gbally=you_unix_account_name the name you see in the top right of your screen | 02:07 |
| IdleOne | gbally: that is because you are running irc as root | 02:08 |

| coz_ | robertzaccour, hold on though let me find a link for priters and ubuntu | 02:08 |
| IdleOne | gbally: there is a reason why on the backtrack site it says that it is NOT for beginners | 02:08 |
| robertzaccour | coz_: which one do you use? if its cheap i'll order that one | 02:08 |
| xanatos | I'll be back, change to the laptop problem | 02:08 |
| gbally | i know, its not recommended to run on root | 02:08 |
| robertzaccour | coz_: oh ok thanks | 02:09 |

| olskolirc | oh im on kubuntu | 02:16 |
| xanatos | yes | 02:16 |
| coz_ | xanatos, the driver should be already installed | 02:16 |
| coz_ | xanatos, what is the issue other than no xorg.conf? | 02:16 |
| sacarlson | coz_ but does the default nvidea let you have transparant background? maybe that's a compiz thing? | 02:17 |
| robertzaccour | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecommendedHardware is this link pretty reliable? | 02:17 |
| coz_ | sacarlson, sure with compositing on either compiz or matacity's compositing | 02:17 |
| coz_ | sacarlson, i would suggest compiz for that however | 02:17 |
| coz_ | sacarlson, and I would suggest also the nvidia_current driver | 02:18 |
| xanatos | well the controller is already loaded, but when I tried to change the resolution is when I have problems, I have 1449x900 resolution actually, | 02:19 |
| xanatos | I don't know if I can use a better resollution | 02:19 |
| sacarlson | did you hear that olskolirc, looks like you need compiz too for what you want | 02:19 |
| coz_ | xanatos, ok is the resolution you have now comfortable to work within? | 02:19 |
| xanatos | nop, I see all the windows too big | 02:20 |
| robertzaccour | it seems the cheap ones are the ones to stay away from using Linux | 02:20 |
| robertzaccour | printers i mean | 02:20 |
| coz_ | xanatos, I see | 02:20 |
| headkase314 | olskolirc, I don't know kubuntu very well but I think compositing is what you need, in kde is that kwin? | 02:20 |
| headkase314 | !kwin | 02:20 |
| xanatos | :) | 02:20 |
| olskolirc | yes headkase314 its kwin | 02:20 |
| headkase314 | !info kwin | 02:20 |

| coz_ | xanatos, ok I know too little about setting resolutions for intel I would assume it is no different however I have been spoiled by nvidia so I am sure someone here can help with that , however... if not go to the ##linux channel or #ubuntu-x channel | 02:21 |
| xanatos | before I just modify the xorg.conf file :P | 02:21 |
| olskolirc | compiz bores me | 02:21 |
| olskolirc | i have compiz though | 02:21 |
| headkase314 | olskolirc, ok that's my limit for being able to help you.. ;) | 02:21 |
| coz_ | xanatos, you can generate an xorg.conf still I believe | 02:21 |

| headkase314 | Alazare, sometimes you BIOS will disable the onboard adapter if it detects a PCIe adapter, have you gone into your BIOS to see if settings related to that exist? | 02:25 |
| Alazare | headkase314: see i have it working under windows xp | 02:25 |
| xanatos | Barnabas let me see | 02:26 |
| headkase314 | Alazare, ok that's a good first step! | 02:26 |
| coz_ | Alazare, yes headkase314 is correct... generally if pcie card is installed it will default to that and turn off onboard nvidia | 02:26 |

| IdleOne | Robertf: HP's are very well supported in Linux | 02:26 |
| IdleOne | robertzaccour: ^^^ | 02:26 |
| coz_ | headkase314, but I will listen in just in case :) | 02:26 |
| robertzaccour | IdleOne: not the one i got | 02:26 |
| headkase314 | coz_, I just ruled out perhaps one thing - still open for anyone to proceed! | 02:26 |
| Barnabas | xanatos, I think the standard is 1600x900 | 02:26 |
| xanatos | not, is not touch screen | 02:27 |
| Alazare | coz_: headkase314 if i enable the primary as the onboard in xp, i can also use the external long as my drivers installed under xp, now the problem underlinux is im using noveou driver because the linux nvidia driver newest 256 i belive and older dont display my movies properly in the nvidia version of xinerama, 1 big monitor | 02:27 |
| coz_ | robertzaccour, did you chech those links I gave you for printers and ubuntu?? | 02:27 |
| wissem | can't boot Gparted :s | 02:27 |
| wissem | any help plz | 02:27 |
| coz_ | Alazare, you have dual monitors? | 02:28 |
| Alazare | triple | 02:28 |
| econdudeawesome | Hey all, got a question. I built minitube from source, and when I want to run it I type in ./build/target/minitube -- the problem is when I put the same command on a launcher on the desktop, I get an error. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? | 02:28 |
| headkase314 | Alazare, I'm not familiar with nvidia - but now as a base to start with someone else you know that the physical hardware for both are enabled. | 02:28 |
| robertzaccour | hey coz_ this one here http://www.amazon.com/Deskjet-F340-All---One-Multifunction/dp/B000VCCXRK/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1281921777&sr=1-1 is listed on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecommendedHardware so does that mean it works in Ubuntu? and yes i got the links but found a link that has a one thats listed in the link on amazon thats cheaper | 02:28 |
| Jordan_U | wissem: Do you have an Ubuntu LiveCD? The GParted LiveCD is not supported here, but the Ubuntu liveCD is (and it contains GParted). | 02:28 |
| coz_ | Alazare, ah ok you would have to change a setting in xorg.conf once the nvidia_current driver is installed but the problem is that it will also maximize windows acroos all three monitors however... let me check online for setting up 3 monitors | 02:29 |
| Flannel | robertzaccour: HP printers should all work with Ubuntu just fine. | 02:29 |
| Alazare | 1 hdmi 65inch dlp tv, 1080 1920, 1 720p 19inch 1280 x 720 and 1 4:3 19inch 1280x1024 | 02:29 |
| Oros | Hi :) | 02:29 |
| robertzaccour | Flannel: mine doesn't | 02:29 |
| wissem | yes Jordan_U , i have one | 02:29 |
| robertzaccour | Flannel: mine is an HP Deskjet D1660 | 02:29 |
| hhassey | Is there any way to be able to issue the command poweroff on a terminal without having to use sudo? | 02:29 |
| hhassey | I mean if I use the icon it will not ask for a password, but to me it is funnier to do it by command. | 02:29 |
| wissem | how can i access the Gparted from ubuntu live cd? | 02:29 |
| Jordan_U | wissem: System > Administration > GParted | 02:30 |
| rww | Flannel: some of the newer ones have issues, actually. HP's overall quality has gone downhill over the last few years :( | 02:30 |
| coz_ | Alazare, as far as I am aware you would have to use xgl to set this up ..unfortunately xgl is not longer developed or supported but I will continue to check | 02:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Anyone with smore more Samba Insight then me. care to explain why sometimes when o connect to a machine. (via windows) it returns me to a login/password dialog where it adds SERVERNAME/willis Instead of my user name of 'willis' ? i never have figured that out | 02:30 |
| rww | having said that, I have a D7460 that works awesomely over wifi | 02:30 |
| Oros | quick question? :) is there any way to recover a system that have been phucked up by using the live cd or entering some of the folders from the system that is on the computer? | 02:30 |
| econdudeawesome | wissem it may not be installed on the livecd, iirc. But you can install it if you have internet connection: sudo apt-get install gparted (sudo password will be blank) | 02:30 |
| wissem | i have the 10.04 ubuntu live cd , am i going to find it Jordan_U ? | 02:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Oros: a live cd could of done ANYTHING.. so theres no quick and easy way. | 02:31 |
| coz_ | Alazare, did you check here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo | 02:31 |
| Dr_Willis | Oros: to be safest - backup imporntant data, and reinstall. | 02:31 |
| hhassey | Dr_Willis: I had the same problem, and discovered that the windows I was using was a versioin that only supported X amount of machines connected at the same time, after that I got the same message | 02:31 |
| Flannel | Oros: just "entering" the directories from a liveCD shouldn't have done anything to the computer, so if that's all that was done, you've got something else going on | 02:31 |
| econdudeawesome | Hey all, got a question. I built minitube from source, and when I want to run it I type in ./build/target/minitube -- the problem is when I put the same command on a launcher on the desktop, I get an error. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? | 02:31 |
| wissem | well can i just install it here then ? econdudeawesome | 02:31 |
| Oros | ok, i allready reinstalled 2 times today ^_^ | 02:31 |
| jm2 | any one use WPA for wireless? | 02:31 |
| hhassey | now we are fewer people on the office, and have never had it again! | 02:31 |
| robertzaccour | coz_: that other link i found as you saw had one of those on amazon for real cheap. is that other link i fould a reliable one? | 02:32 |
| olskolirc | Think IRC will have have audio/video chat like Paltalk? | 02:32 |
| econdudeawesome | jm2: yes | 02:32 |
| wissem | yes jm2 | 02:32 |
| econdudeawesome | olskolirc: probably not. Try finch/pidgin | 02:32 |
| Jordan_U | econdudeawesome: Are you using the full path in the launcher? | 02:32 |
| econdudeawesome | Jordan_U: I think so. hmm, that's actually a really good idea--let me check | 02:32 |
| olskolirc | thanks econdudeawesome | 02:32 |
| coz_ | robertzaccour, it should be yes... as i said I know epson is supported for the most part and nearly all of hp gateway probably not much | 02:32 |
| Alazare | coz_: nVidia TwinView (two outputs on one card, a single desktop split across two monitors. 3d/video stuff works seamlessly across both). | 02:32 |
| jm2 | my atheros 5001 worked until we put in WPA.. I've tried several things and can't get it connect. | 02:32 |
| Oros | no i'm running backtrack4 and i wanted to make changes to the drivers to the network card. and then i screwed up, it won't even boot up :p | 02:32 |
| coz_ | Alazare, right that I have here | 02:33 |
| linux-dj | hi guys thanks for the awesome 10.04 i can finnally leave windows for good | 02:33 |
| rww | Oros: Backtrack4 isn't supported here. Try #backtrack-linux. | 02:33 |
| coz_ | Alazare, I have not ever tried ...nor do I have the equipment at hand for dual or more video cards... I have seen up to eight and even 20 or more montirs with ati and 6 monitors with nvidia | 02:33 |
| Oros | ok, kewl. didn't find anywhere else to turn but now i know. thx :) | 02:34 |
| opij | rww, is lubuntu supported? | 02:34 |
| econdudeawesome | Jordan_U: worked like a charm. I'll be glad when I move beyond asking such newb questions :-D | 02:34 |
| coz_ | Alazare, howevr the mulitple monitors with nvidia all used xgl | 02:34 |
| econdudeawesome | opij: no, but a lot of us run it | 02:34 |
| Oros | It sais that i'm banned from there but i haven't been there before, weird :S | 02:34 |
| rww | opij: no idea, I haven't looked into it | 02:34 |
| coz_ | Oros, from which channel? | 02:35 |
| linux-dj | has ubuntu got a package yet to make me coffee in the morning | 02:35 |
| Oros | well, on the bright side. i got ubuntu too ;) | 02:35 |
| linux-dj | lol | 02:35 |
| Oros | the backtrack channel | 02:35 |
| hhassey | Is there any way to be able to issue the command poweroff on a terminal without having to use sudo?o | 02:35 |
| hhassey | Nobody??? | 02:35 |
| opij | rww, it seems everyone either doesnt know or a the few people that do know say it is supported | 02:35 |
| olskolirc | Oros i got that on Efnet last night from room to room and never been there | 02:35 |
| coz_ | hhassey, mmm probably not but sudo init 0 will power down and init 6 a restart | 02:35 |
| opij | !aisleriot | 02:35 |
| Oros | hhassey.. halt? | 02:35 |
| hhassey | I wil try halt... | 02:36 |
| Oros | it will shut it down i think | 02:36 |
| hipitihop | hhassey, you'll find repeating questions doesn't get you very far. The reason people don't answer is not because they are ignoring you but simply don't know the answer to your question | 02:36 |
| hhassey | bus as a general question is there a way to define which commands need sudo and what others do not??? | 02:36 |
| econdudeawesome | opij: you can try #lubuntu | 02:36 |
| coz_ | hhassey, also if that happens and no one is answering you could try a channel like ##linux | 02:36 |
| jm2 | hhassey - modify the /etc/sudoers file for the user | 02:36 |
| Oros | what does sudo? is it like admin rights? | 02:36 |
| Oros | or installing? | 02:37 |
| Jordan_U | Oros: Likely someone using the same nick as you are currently using, or your ip, was trolling in that channel. Or maybe you're not actually banned but it just requires you to be registered with nickserv. | 02:37 |
| Flannel | opij: Supported by whom? | 02:37 |
| opij | Flannel, supported in this channel | 02:37 |
| Oros | ok, i'll change username and try again | 02:37 |
| robertzaccour | wait a sec | 02:37 |
| linux-dj | why dosent sudo make me coffee work | 02:37 |
| Oros | don't know how to change ip, forgot =/ | 02:37 |
| hhassey | I will take a look at that file | 02:37 |
| coz_ | Alazare, you probably have seen this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DWzuIreDGA and the web page http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=884161 | 02:37 |
| Flannel | opij: It is. However you're more likely to find better LXDE (and the assorted other things) support in #lubuntu | 02:37 |
| robertzaccour | i found a link where a user said his hp deskjet d1660 works well in pclinuxos 2010 but not in ubuntu. can this be true? | 02:38 |
| Flannel | opij: Just due to the window manager differences (the same thing goes for kde and #kubuntu) | 02:38 |
| linux-dj | maybe its sudo apg-get coffee | 02:38 |
| sacarlson | Oros: ifconfig ethx 192.168.2.111 | 02:38 |
| opij | Flannel, can i ask you a quick question in #ubuntu-offtopic | 02:38 |
| Flannel | opij: Always | 02:38 |
| Oros | ok, thx sacarlson :) | 02:38 |
| catatafish | do any ubuntuforums mods hang out on irc? | 02:38 |
| zcat[1] | linux-dj, sudo make me a sandwich http://xkcd.com/149/ | 02:39 |
| coz_ | Alazare, also ...even though this is ati and not practical you might want to look at this video http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NzUyNQ | 02:39 |
| Jordan_U | linux-dj: sudo only helps with *local* permissions issues, it can't help you if you need to controll a remote person/machine. Unfortunately your local machine appears to be too lazy to make coffe on its own :) | 02:39 |
| Alazare | hmmm | 02:39 |
| Alazare | ill have to take a further look into this another time | 02:39 |

| hipitihop | anyone familiar with checkinstall ? I have done 'sudo checkinstall' and 'sudo checkinstall make cd-sounds-install' and 'sudo checkinstall make cd-moh-install'. Does this create a single package with both options or am I creating a new package reconfigured only with latest option ? | 02:41 |
| zcat[1] | robertzaccour, totally, support for various hardware differs widely by distro | 02:41 |
| yyanzq | thanks | 02:41 |

| linux-dj | anyway back to seriousness whats the ubuntu equivilent of a shortcut to a folder and how do i do it | 02:41 |
| robertzaccour | zcat[1]: oh ok thanks i'll give pclinuxos a try then | 02:41 |
| zcat[1] | eg none of my hardware works in gnewsense ;) | 02:41 |
| hipitihop | linux-dj, see symlinks | 02:42 |
| mast` | linux-dj, ln -s | 02:42 |
| zcat[1] | usually it's just a matter of configuring something though.. if it can be made to work in pclos, getting it to work in any other distro should be possible too | 02:42 |
| ring1 | to create an encrypted usb drive with cryptsetup, do i need to create a partition on the usb-drive first? | 02:42 |
| robertzaccour | If it works in this distro I won't have to buy another printer or keep using win 7 :) | 02:43 |
| Barnabas | hipitihop, just do a checkinstall in the folder with the make / configure file | 02:43 |
| Barnabas | the rest is automatic | 02:43 |
| hhassey | ring1 have you seen Truecrypt? | 02:43 |
| noobuntu | hi, how do I set a gdm theme? | 02:43 |
| hipitihop | Barnabas, I have run the above as individual runs | 02:43 |
| Barnabas | hipitihop, provided you have the compile prerequisites of cause, but the configure step should sort that out | 02:43 |
| xangua | hhassey: in the new gdm version (incluided in ubuntu 9.10. 10.04), you can't | 02:44 |
| zcat[1] | robertzaccour, try looking through synaptic, there's a bunch of packages for HP printers that aren't installed by default... | 02:44 |
| Barnabas | hipitihop, checkinstall will make a deb pkg for you | 02:44 |
| noobuntu | xangua: eh :/ | 02:44 |
| yeabean | Hello I ' m here ! anyone chat with me ? | 02:44 |
| Barnabas | install that by double clicking it when the compile is done | 02:44 |
| ring1 | hhassey, i've seen and used it, yes. but i want to use luks this time | 02:44 |
| robertzaccour | zcat[1]: i know none of them worked in Ubuntu, thats why I'm using win 7 right now. hopefully pclinuxos2010 will be fine, installing it now :) | 02:44 |
| randomseed | linux-dj, if you left click in nautilus on the folder you want to link to it gibes you the option Make Link | 02:45 |
| keith | I'm planning on installing Xubuntu 10.04 on an older Gateway E-3400. I increased the RAM to 512MB and it still has the 20GB hard drive. Is this likely to work? | 02:45 |
| randomseed | gibs/gives | 02:45 |
| hhassey | keith, yes it should work | 02:46 |
| headkase314 | keith, that should meet the minimums fine | 02:46 |
| hipitihop | Barnabas, yes .. but what is it doing when I run it again with the extra parameters ... it seems to do the right thing and even download additional tar.gz stuff, so I am assuming it creates a new package each time | 02:46 |
| keith | thanks | 02:46 |
| hhassey | I had ubuntu 9.04 on 512 MB | 02:46 |
| Barnabas | hipitihop, it should prompt you for a package name and description ? | 02:46 |
| Barnabas | it does here | 02:46 |
| allguru | is there a software for ubuntu, that help tomake livestream with my videocam in my website? | 02:46 |
| hipitihop | Barnabas, yes it does that. I think I am not explaining myself well, let me try again | 02:48 |
| hipitihop | Barnabas, I ran teh first time with 'sudo checkinstall' and it went through its motions and finished saying I can remove the package anytime via 'dpkg -r xxxx' ... | 02:49 |
| Barnabas | hipitihop, thats should be ok then? You should be able to find that pkg in synaptic | 02:50 |
| pwp | helloHello | 02:50 |
| hipitihop | Barnabas, .. but then reading further install docs, which said you should also consider 'make cd-moh-install', so I ran checkinstall again this time with 'sudo checinstall make cd-moh-install' | 02:50 |
| bathacid | anyone here know any mmo's kinda like guild wars and wow that run natively on linux no wine emulation? | 02:51 |
| Barnabas | hipitihop, try to check synaptic and see if the pkg is installed - then check info to see what files it installed | 02:51 |
| hipitihop | Barnabas, second run also went through similar motions, this time downloading additonal tar.gz files and completed the same way... | 02:51 |
| xangua | bathacid: try http://www.playdeb.net/ & http://www.ubuntugames.org/ | 02:52 |
| pil | hello - I have a problem with my Lucid ubuntu - whenever I work with openoffice or abiword which is like openoffice for writing pdfs, everything locks up and it leads me to power down my gear and power it up again - I am even thinking about switch to fedora because of that .

I bought a new samsung with nvidia graphic card just for ubuntu but the problem driving me crazy - it is like windows fr | 02:52 |
| pil | eezing... what should I do? :( | 02:52 |
| opij | if i follow the instructions on this page http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde is there any chance i could lose personal settings or files like firefox plugins, bookmarks, irssi scripts, documents or anything else? | 02:52 |
| hipitihop | Barnabas, so what I'm not sure of if I run again with further make parameters, like 'sudo checkinstall make cd-sounds-install' does the latest get added to the previous, or do I somehow have to specify both lots of make arguments | 02:53 |
| === xangua is now known as b0rreguito | ||

| Barnabas | if a prerequisite is missing the configure step should fail | 02:54 |

| pil | Jordan_U: it happens often - first I thought it happens because of OpenOffice because whenever I work with openOffice, it freezes then I installed the Abiword which is like OpenOffice but the freezing thing happened again - I don't know it it is because Compiz because normally what I know of freezing things are because of graphical stuff-by the way I have 4 GB Ram - it is a damn powerful samsung laptop | 03:11 |

| Barnabas | Murali, if you will se a performance improvement is more doubt full | 03:11 |
| Murali | Ah.. Thx Barnabas, will try to run using VirtualBox... I assumed that Windows 7 might 'bark' at activation when I do this.. | 03:11 |
| Barnabas | Murali, It may | 03:12 |
| allguru | is there a software for ubuntu, that help tomake livestream with my videocam in my website? | 03:12 |
| Barnabas | Murali, but not more than wmware I think | 03:12 |
| Murali | Barnabas, anyway worth a try.. Will report back... | 03:12 |
| hipitihop | Murali, I actually used a vmware tool to rip an installed windows xp to a vm file, which I am now running under virtualbox as a vmdk | 03:12 |
| allguru | i mean a webinar | 03:12 |
| pil | Jordan_U: where should I look in in order to see what causes the freezing in ubuntu? | 03:12 |
| Jordan_U | pil: Does it freeze immediately and without any previous symptoms that you've noticed? | 03:12 |
| Murali | hipitihop, which tool is that? | 03:12 |
| pil | immediately | 03:13 |
| _genuser_ | hello people | 03:13 |
| Jordan_U | pil: Do you have another computer? | 03:13 |
| hipitihop | Murali, sorry too many moons ago, something from vmware I had to download | 03:13 |
| caoanroad4800 | Murali, i suggest u turn off gnome-do before openning vmware or virtualbox. it does speed up a little bit for virtual image | 03:13 |
| pil | Jordan_U: yes my sis has a PC with windoze Xp why? | 03:13 |
| Murali | caonanroad4880, thanks for the tip, will try that too | 03:14 |
| Jordan_U | pil: You can try connecting via ssh, often it's just X (the GUI) that has crashed, and ssh will allow you to examine the situation while it's still crashed. | 03:14 |
| caoanroad4800 | hey guys. anybody has experience about apt-check or update-notifier's high CPU usage ? | 03:14 |
| pil | Jordan_U: how can I connect with ssh? Just give me a link which explains it will do - I dont wanna bust your b*lls about it... | 03:15 |
| Jordan_U | pil: "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" to allow remote login via ssh, then use putty to actually log in via ssh from windows: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 03:17 |
| thune3 | caoanroad4800: other than turning it off or setting a longer check interval, i probably don't have a suggestion. But how long is CPU usage elevated? | 03:18 |
| pil | Jordan_U: thanks alot - you are my savior | 03:18 |
| pil | thanks so much | 03:18 |
| Jordan_U | pil: You're welcome. | 03:19 |
| cobelloy | hi how do I configure xserver in ubuntu/gnome? | 03:19 |
| Jordan_U | cobelloy: What are you trying to configure specifically? | 03:19 |
| caoanroad4800 | thune3, i have to "sudo pkill apt-check" it every 10 min maybe. it auto restarts every time .... not it's eating my 98% cpu usage | 03:19 |
| caoanroad4800 | thune3, now the output of "sudo top" is 4724 simon 39 19 65040 25m 3704 R 96 0.7 30:33.97 apt-check | 03:20 |
| caoanroad4800 | thune3, how to sett a longer check interval for apt-check then ? | 03:20 |
| cobelloy | Jordan_U, I dont have an xorg.conf file that I can edit, and I dont think i am using correct intel driver | 03:20 |
| cobelloy | i dont know how to drop to console to do dpkg-recofigure either | 03:21 |
| Jordan_U | cobelloy: Xorg is pretty smart now and while you can still create an Xorg.conf manually and it will be used, I doubt that is the problem. The only likely issue with choosing a driver would be KMS vs non KMS, which is actually not an Xorg configuration. | 03:22 |
| thune3 | caoanroad4800: that sounds broken then. The settings (you can get there several ways), System->Admin->Software-Sources updatesTAB. | 03:22 |
| Jordan_U | cobelloy: What problem are you having specifically with the default setup? | 03:22 |
| IngForigua | Good evening | 03:23 |
| cobelloy | Jordan_U, i dont know what kms is, the crux of the problem is that there is no 3d acceleration at the moment | 03:23 |
| cobelloy | Jordan_U, lspci -v says driver is i915, but have 945 chip | 03:23 |
| caoanroad4800 | thune3, thanks. i've turned off the "auto update" option during your suggestion. and i'll wait to see if it works .... | 03:24 |

| cobelloy | Jordan_U, can u suggest anything? how can I turn off X and get console to do a dpkg-reconfigure? | 03:29 |
| Jordan_U | cobelloy: Can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? | 03:31 |
| headkase314 | blackMatrix, turn your laptop off bring it into the shop and get them to replace all the fans. - really if it's overheating there's something wrong with the hardware. | 03:31 |
| abhijain | hello | 03:32 |
| AndrewMC | !hi abhijain | 03:32 |
| abhijain | i dont know hoe to compile c program on command can any pne help me | 03:32 |
| headkase314 | blackMatrix, the heat sinks could be clogged with dust and you won't know unless you open it. And laptops are all custom so getting the proper replacement parts could be difficult. | 03:32 |
| cobelloy | Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/eGpBxnVb | 03:32 |
| headkase314 | blackMatrix, also the battery might have issues, do you have a spare battery you can put into it for a while? | 03:33 |

| Funhouse | hi there, so i installed, ubuntu, latest version, then apache, now when i try to open index.html in var/www/ its read only? what can i do to remove this? | 03:35 |
| headkase314 | blackMatrix, you should not do anything unless you absolutely know what you're doing. If you don't you should bring it into your local computer repair shop. | 03:35 |
| blackMatrix | headkase314: I think it should be pretty straight forward...but I was more looking for apps that can show you temprature of cpu | 03:36 |
| === Damn3d is now known as damn3d | ||
| mudnick | sure. running 10.4. I just hooked up these speakers, I get no sound. | 03:36 |
| headkase314 | blackMatrix, overheating is a classic sign of dust-clogged heatsinks. They'll only be able to tell in the shop when they open it | 03:36 |
| mudnick | I dumpstered these speakers, but they appear in perfect condition, power on, all cords connected correctly | 03:37 |
| Jordan_U | cobelloy: Can you pastebin the output of "glxinfo"? | 03:37 |
| headkase314 | blackMatrix, the problem with just blowing the dust out of the heatsink is that the dust gets in the fans and ruins the rotors so the fan needs to be replaced. I don't know what your laptop issue is but I do know that overheating is bad(tm). Do you have proper ventilation on the bottom of the laptop? Is it on a hard-flat-surface (should be) or on a soft surface it sinks into (should not be)? | 03:38 |

| pmp6nl | Hey, does anyone know if Ubuntu can index ntfs or windows files? | 03:39 |
| Jordan_U | !root | Funhouse | 03:39 |
| ubottu | Funhouse: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 03:39 |

| cobelloy | Jordan_U, why does it identify as i915 tho when 945G is one of the listed chips? | 03:40 |
| Jordan_U | cobelloy: "direct rendering: Yes" Means you have 3D acceleration. | 03:40 |
| cobelloy | Jordan_U, is there an easy way to check its working? | 03:40 |
| Funhouse | Jordan_U thank you but, why is it when i try to open the index.html file in apache2 folder, it says permission denied? | 03:41 |
| xangua | xomp: have you looked at the software center¿ | 03:41 |
| mudnick | Looking for help setting up speakers Boston BA745. New ubuntu user | 03:41 |
| xomp | xangua, well not knowing what to look for is a bit more cumbersome don't you think? | 03:42 |
| AndrewMC | !patience | mudnick | 03:42 |
| ubottu | mudnick: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 03:42 |
| Jordan_U | Funhouse: You probably don't have read permission as your user. You can run "gksudo gedit /path/to/file" to open the file as root. | 03:42 |
| xomp | xangua, besides, I'm not sure the software center accepts search strings in the form of questions heh | 03:42 |

| headkase314 | Funhouse, when sudo doesn't do the job then you need to rethink your approach to the problem. | 03:44 |
| Funhouse | headkase314 sudo does the job but do i need to do that everytime? and can i sudo from gui? | 03:44 |
| cobelloy | there used to be a way to activate the root account so you could log in with it didnt there? | 03:44 |

| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 03:45 |
| headkase314 | Funhouse, no user should have full access to the filesystem. What is it, in detail, you are trying to do? | 03:45 |
| pmp6nl | ubottu: index ntfs | 03:46 |
| cobelloy | Jordan_U, glxgears gets around 4000 frames/5sec - is that good or bad performance? | 03:46 |
| headkase314 | Funhouse, sudo is required any time you need to do an administrative task. You use sudo each time. | 03:46 |
| Funhouse | ok thank you headkase314 and Jordan_U | 03:46 |
| headkase314 | Funhouse, you're welcome! | 03:46 |
| Jordan_U | cobelloy: That's fast enough to suggest you have 3D acceleration, beyond that glxgears is a poor benchmark | 03:46 |

| cobelloy | Jordan_U, is there a better test? | 03:47 |
| Jordan_U | cobelloy: All intel cards use the "i915" kernel driver. | 03:47 |
| cobelloy | oh OK | 03:47 |
| dexi | oops, i am specifically referring to torrents, sorry ^ | 03:47 |
| nietoyface | Hellooo people!!! | 03:48 |
| egross | hello | 03:48 |
| headkase314 | dexi, is UPnP enabled both in your router (if you are using one) and if so in the torrent client as well? This only applies if you go through a router. | 03:48 |
| cobelloy | Jordan_U, thanks, I will try to change the memory allocation of the chip that might improve performance | 03:48 |
| headkase314 | dexi, UPnP = Universal Plug and Play | 03:49 |
| Kjeldor | Pidgin always hangs when I load it, why is that? | 03:49 |
| dexi | headkase314, I do go through a router, yes, would that change between windows and linux? I have tried it both ways on here and no result either way. I unfortunately don't have electronic access to the router :-/ | 03:49 |
| headkase314 | dexi, the router probably has UPnP enabled because you seed on xp, under Ubuntu the first thing to check is if your torrent client has UPnP enabled, do you use Transmission? That I have installed so I can look to see where the setting is.. | 03:50 |
| xangua | Kjeldor: if you are refering to msn account, it takes time to conect | 03:51 |
| Kjeldor | YM xangua | 03:51 |
| dexi | headkase314, i've checked, i saw where it was, tried with it on and off in transmission, i also tried using qbittorrent. also, just for clarification, i seed on 7, not xp. | 03:51 |
| Kjeldor | once its connected, 5 seconds later, it hangs | 03:51 |
| headkase314 | dexi, regardless of whether it solves your issue directly UPnP should be enabled in your torrent client, that's all I can think of at the moment. And sorry, 7 - gotcha, not xp ;) | 03:52 |
| xangua | Kjeldor: no idea, i don't use it; you cold also update it with the instructions at http://www.pidgin.im/ or ask and give more details in #pidgin | 03:52 |
| digitaldoll | . | 03:53 |
| dexi | headkase314, Well, it is, haha. it's weird because i swear it was uploading the other day... and it's not that I don't have anyone trying to download, theres plenty. and I have connections :-/ | 03:54 |
| dexi | headkase314, actually, im sure it was working before because transmission is reporting my "total ratio" as 1.31 | 03:54 |
| headkase314 | dexi, which client do you want to use? Transmission or qBitorrent? | 03:54 |

| ilovefairuz | r3sno: what error do you get when trying to install ? | 04:20 |
| sacarlson | xisorshadow: oh and in most application there is help at the top | 04:20 |
| gimmickless_ | xisorshadow: unless you're playing in window's partition, you won't break anything | 04:20 |
| ilovefairuz | xisorshadow: not likely | 04:20 |
| r3sno | ilovefairuz: the package isnt found | 04:20 |

| ilovefairuz | Dhani: yes you can, have you actually tried ? | 04:21 |
| tensorpudding | xisorshadow: there are reports of wubi breaking the boot manager, but they're rare and it won't delete any of your files or anything | 04:21 |
| Guest3641 | Hi guys, I've got a 3in1 Magic Joy Box gamepad adapter but it is not recognized when i plug it in, is there a package I need to install in order to get this to work? | 04:21 |
| xisorshadow | breaking it after its already installed and booted? | 04:21 |
| ilovefairuz | headkase314: makes zero-difference when it comes to software | 04:21 |
| tensorpudding | xisorshadow: if you reall want 0 risk, you can run Ubuntu in a virtual machine. | 04:21 |
| randomseed | xisorshadow, grab yourself an older used cheap computer and install Linux so you can break it repair it and break it again and not worry whether it will wreck your good box | 04:22 |
| headkase314 | ilovefairuz, thank you. | 04:22 |
| thune3 | North_Italian69: maybe i'm misunderstanding what you are trying to do, or what you are seeing that is worring you. | 04:22 |
| bathacid1 | if i set up a samba server will it show up like a nas? | 04:22 |

| bazhang | digitaldoll, watch the language | 04:23 |

| condon | the compiz channel seems to be dead tonight... anyone who's updated from 8.04 to 10.04 and can help me get my cube back? | 04:25 |
| ilovefairuz | Dhani: i'm not familiar dlink but it depends on the particular chipset you have, as i have said, pastebin lshw -C network and check system > administration > hardware drivers for any related entries | 04:25 |
| thune3 | North_Italian69: there are three levels of dependencies: depends, recommends, and suggests. Suggests are not installed in ubuntu by default like the others. apt-cache unmet is probably showing suggests. | 04:25 |
| sacarlson | j_ayen_green: It might run cron in another user account like maybe root or other that is setup at install | 04:25 |
| tensorpudding | condon: you have the compiz control program installed right? | 04:25 |
| condon | Yep | 04:26 |
| tensorpudding | condon: it should be under the Desktop section | 04:26 |

| === TheAnswer is now known as Thornton | ||
| condon | how do I use !tab? | 04:28 |
| tensorpudding | condon: enabling the cube requires disabling the desktop wall extension which is on by default in 10.04 | 04:28 |
| Dhani | ilovefairuz, okay i will.. & 1 more thing. is there any way i can extend my WiFi signal because when i logged on to windows, i can get a good wireless reception but the signal is too low in ubuntu. is there any workaround for this? Thanks for your help. | 04:29 |
| headkase314 | !tab | condon | 04:29 |
| ubottu | condon: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 04:29 |
| j_ayen_green | sacarlson: yes, it runs daily around midnight, but crontab -l only shows the anachron daily, weekly, monthly entries, and the files in those directories don't appear to be related, and the anachron entries don't show up in gnome-schedule | 04:29 |
| bazhang | condon, type two or three letters of a nick and hit tab key | 04:29 |

| condon | xangua: that pastebin's coming, I start compiz in command but it crashes to fallback window manager | 04:30 |
| sacarlson | j_ayen_green: try crontab -l in your user account. also in /var/log you should see each time that a cron tab has run in any account | 04:30 |

| khamar | ascheel you need to fix it in the bios screen, then I recommend using ntp for keeping them close to actual time after boot. | 04:54 |

| bazhang | ilovefairuz, no idea, but definitely not supported | 04:55 |
| ascheel | khamar, yeah going to. I'll figure it out, I was just hoping someone else had seen this. Thanks a ton | 04:55 |
| Dhani | nvm... i just want to give it a try | 04:55 |
| ilovefairuz | hasek79: you can't do this, yet | 04:55 |

| ilovefairuz | r3sno: what package are you trying to install ? | 04:57 |
| ascheel | iredux: That's why when I fix the time in one OS, the other gets hosed by the same time difference. | 04:57 |
| hajmola | ilovefairuz, yeah, I just checked, didn't seem to return any hits | 04:57 |
| inzi1985 | has anyone compared lightspark to adobe Flash | 04:57 |
| ascheel | iredux: you rock, my friend. | 04:58 |

| khamar | iredux I agree, good find. | 04:58 |

| F2Z | and move on | 05:30 |
| prince_jammys | F2Z: err, 'gksudo gedit /etc/init.d/teamspeak' | 05:30 |
| prince_jammys | F2Z: you could use cat, paste the stuff, and then ctrl-d when you're done. | 05:30 |
| digitaldoll | you might want to make a soft link F2Z with: ln -s /to/the/directory/that/team/speak/requires | 05:31 |
| ilovefairuz | yeabean: open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 05:31 |
| yeabean | There is a Readme.txt . tald me : | 05:31 |
| yeabean | uilding: | 05:31 |
| yeabean | Quicktime for Linux requires a built copy of of libmpeg3 in a directory next to itself. | 05:31 |
| yeabean | This is used for the mp3 interface. | 05:31 |
| yeabean | Your directory structure should thus be: | 05:31 |

| egross | does anyone know of a good place to learn regex that works well in sed? | 05:32 |
| yeabean | can you see ? | 05:32 |
| ilovefairuz | yeabean: as far as i can see, it's not a player | 05:32 |
| condon | Anyone know why my compiz will not start... using fallback window manager and there are no errors in the output... | 05:32 |
| digitaldoll | sudo ln -s /etc/init.d F2Z | 05:32 |
| prince_jammys | egross: 'man grep' describes BREs, basic regular expressions, as used by sed. | 05:32 |
| ilovefairuz | egross: regex is like a language by itself, there are books on it, search google | 05:32 |
| yeabean | Is'n t it ? | 05:32 |
| digitaldoll | <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mediabuntu <<< stupid bot | 05:32 |
| egross | prince_jammys, thanks | 05:32 |
| ilovefairuz | yeabean: no, it's a software library | 05:33 |
| yeabean | just like K-codes? | 05:33 |
| ilovefairuz | yeabean: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 05:33 |
| prince_jammys | egross: if you search online, make sure you're reading about BREs. Most online stuff talks about PCREs, or perl regexes. | 05:33 |
| ilovefairuz | yeabean: that command is like k-codecs | 05:34 |
| egross | prince_jammys, what are BREs? | 05:34 |
| yeabean | yeah , what ever , I want it | 05:34 |
| condon | anyone know what will cause compiz to launch fallback window manager? No errors reporting in command line. | 05:34 |
| prince_jammys | egross: Basic Regular Expressions. sed has its own irc channel, btw, ##sed. | 05:35 |
| drichert | I'm hearing interface sounds when I click buttons in awesome wm. Where do I disable? | 05:35 |
| yeabean | The problem is I can install it | 05:35 |
| egross | prince_jammys, thanks | 05:35 |
| ilovefairuz | yeabean: it's NOT a codec, it's code used for writing programs | 05:35 |
| yeabean | no It is a media player from Apple . which company very famous | 05:36 |
| bazhang | yeabean, not its not | 05:36 |
| trim | yet, it co-works with a slave factory | 05:37 |
| xangua | yeabean: there is not quicktime for linux, how many more times do i have to repeat it for you to understand¿ | 05:37 |
| ilovefairuz | yeabean: quicktime is the name for many things, not just a media player | 05:37 |
| bazhang | mplayer and the like will play those fine yeabean | 05:37 |
| yeabean | Ok , I just want to play my video .Which can played in | 05:38 |
| yeabean | Windows | 05:38 |
| trim | mplayer can play anything | 05:38 |
| xangua | yeabean: we have already told you to install restricted-extras to play quicktime files | 05:38 |
| ikey | sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras @ yeabean | 05:39 |
| ikey | If you want a frontend try gmlayer or use smplayer | 05:39 |
| trim | how about kmplayer? | 05:40 |
| ikey | depends if you fancy pulling in all those deps or not | 05:40 |
| yeabean | I will try @ ikey | 05:41 |
| Jordan_U | xangua: ilovefairuz: Just for reference, this is the project he's talking about, (and it's not a player): http://heroinewarrior.com/quicktime.php | 05:41 |
| ikey | Then again yeabean if you're happy with using Qt I'd say go the full mile and install VLC | 05:42 |
| ikey | Having smplayer + VLC is a good combination in my experience | 05:42 |
| ilovefairuz | Jordan_U: i see, it's obvious from the docs included that it's just a library | 05:43 |

| connermcd | whats up | 06:09 |
| zus | ilovefairuz, thanks | 06:09 |
| ikey | connermcd, Make sure status bar is showing when you start the ROM (CTRL+S) or the video window wont realize properly | 06:09 |
| ikey | connermcd, Then hide it when the rom starts (CTRL+S) to stop it flickering | 06:09 |

| bugaloo | guys... I have a problem with hibernate on my HP laptop... if I run the "hibernate-disk' command on terminal, it works fine, but using hibernate on the gnome menu or when the battery is low, hibernate just turns my computer off. Does anyone know how to fix it? | 06:23 |
| abhijit | North_Italian69, sudo apt-get build-dep | 06:23 |
| abhijit | North_Italian69, sudo apt-get build-dep <package> | 06:24 |
| hendaus | peepingtom, yes it shows several lines | 06:24 |
| peepingtom | hendaus: That means gnome-panel is running, alt+F2 should work for you. alt+f2 calls gnome-panel to launch the Ubuntu equivalent of the "run" dialog from Windows | 06:24 |
| ilovefairuz | Core357: you didn't say it was vnc.. that requires X.. what package did you install ? | 06:25 |
| Core357 | ilovefairuz: ah vnc4server | 06:26 |
| hendaus | peepingtom, i hit ctrl+f2 several times and its not working | 06:26 |
| North_Italian69 | abhijit: thank you for answer me. if you see my log, are 300 at east. so i need something that do automatically the task | 06:26 |
| peepingtom | hendaus: Yes that is because you see an entry for a bunch of the "applets" on the panel. Sorry I don't have any more advice for you! | 06:26 |
| peepingtom | hendaus: It's ALT+F2, not ctrl | 06:26 |

| Steve132 | So, I installed evdev by accident | 06:42 |

| Surlent777 | hey guys...I am curious as to why, when I run initramfs -u, it tells me that "cryptsetup" is saying that my swap partition, /dev/sdb6, has "more than one resume device candidate". That seems to defy all logic. | 07:00 |
| hendaus | scriptwarlock, ok so why alt+f2 is not working and also alt+f1 | 07:00 |
| peepingtom | Surlent777: "cryptsetuP" is likely saying that because you set up an encrypted swap partition, does swap still mount? | 07:02 |
| Surlent777 | peepingtom: I don't recall ever encrypting it. =/ I am not sure if it mounts or not, honestly. GParted seems to still see it as a plain swap and I can turn it on and off without any messages from GParted | 07:02 |
| kala | anyone got experience making emerald themes? | 07:03 |
| Surlent777 | peepingtom: In fact, just now I told it to format it as swap and then tried again...same message =/ | 07:03 |

| Surlent777 | peepingtom: I've also noticed that sometimes the system doesn't boot up, and when I look behind the Plymouth splash (Alt+B) it tells me that same thing and then asks me to either press enter or type the path to the resume image, but accepts no keyboard input anyway. It's rather annoying. Any idea on how I can resolve this? | 07:06 |

| chipdipson | # Appears as ANNA | 07:06 |
| peepingtom | Surlent777: well I don't know much about this, but "more than one resume device candidate" probably means that you have more than one swap partition. So, my understanding is that Swap is Swap, it isn't specially formatted as encrypted swap or unencrypted swap. you can write encrypted or unencrypted files to it. So I imagine that you either have more than one swap partition, or that because swap can either be mounded as encrypted or unencryp | 07:07 |

| shreymech | fck no body is replying :( | 07:11 |
| peepingtom | Surlent777: Well, my understanding is that when you hibernate a machine, it dumps the memory to the swap partiton, so that's probably wat it means by "more than one resume device candidate" | 07:11 |
| chipdipson | (#G810E:10M1) on this end it's extremely hilarious | 07:11 |
| chipdipson | (#G010E010M1) sorry to break up your support discussion | 07:12 |
| peepingtom | Surlent777: of course I may be completely wrong and it writes the memory to the hard disk, but i'm pretty sure it uses swap | 07:12 |
| Seveas-train | chipdipson, on this end you are really annoying. Quit it. | 07:12 |
| bazhang | chipdipson, stop it. | 07:12 |
| Surlent777 | peepingtom: That was my understanding too. I never use Hibernate because it has always been unreliabe | 07:12 |
| scriptwarlock | hendaus: interchanging alt's doesnt matter as long as your only using the keyboard | 07:13 |
| Surlent777 | peepingtom: I tried going to suspend and back but that didn't do anything. You'd think redoing the partition would fix that but apparently not. Maybe I need to be in a live cd to do that? | 07:13 |

| bazhang | shreymech, chipdipson last warning | 07:14 |
| peepingtom | hendaus: I have an idea, you should try using one of those "virtual keyboards" like onboard | 07:14 |
| Seveas-train | rww, feel like going jerkcity on their ass? | 07:14 |
| hendaus | scriptwarlock, thanx dude :) | 07:14 |
| Seveas-train | ty2u, there are some things (like flash) that don't work properly on 64 bit | 07:14 |
| Surlent777 | ty2u: It's there as a warning simply because some things can get a little funny, like Flash | 07:14 |
| hendaus | peepingtom, how? | 07:15 |
| ty2u | ahh, ok. i think flash is ok these days. thanks | 07:15 |
| trim | even on iphone | 07:15 |
| shreymech | bazhang, sorry dude.. but i don't know what that code do..???? i just saw chipdipson doing that..??? | 07:15 |
| Surlent777 | ty2u: I happen to run 64-bit with excellent results. It just might take a little work once in a while on your part, and if you ever download a deb with i386 in the name you'll have to install it with the command line | 07:15 |
| peepingtom | hendaus: I cant believe youre still in this channel ;) but run "onbard" in terminal | 07:15 |
| Surlent777 | ty2u: which is not hard to do, incidentally: sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture /path/to/deb/file | 07:16 |
| Seveas-train | onboard, not onbard :) | 07:16 |
| trim | ubuntu has two directories called lib64 and lib32 | 07:16 |
| peepingtom | hendaus: erm actually there's no Fnum keys on onboard so that idea's dead ;) | 07:16 |
| peepingtom | unless someone knows how to show the f keys | 07:16 |
| shreymech | hi all ! search files and folders stopped working in ubuntu , not returning any result even if the file exists | 07:17 |
| Seveas-train | Fn keycombinations are handled by the keyboard itself | 07:17 |
| Surlent777 | shreymech: judging from rww's comment that funny # stuff may be a string that only MS Comic Chat puts out and presumably uses to tell other MS Comic clients to modify the "comic" in some way, would be my guess | 07:17 |
| peepingtom | Yeah I just thought that since most keyboards are USB and don't have those fancy ps/2 interrupts or whatever that ther was a way to do it virtually | 07:17 |
| rww | Surlent777: your hypothesis is accurate | 07:18 |
| shreymech | Surlent777, man my revious problem..?? files and folder one | 07:18 |
| Surlent777 | rww: Awesome. Good to know. | 07:19 |
| Surlent777 | shreymech: I'm afraid I don't know enough about how Nautilus works to advise you much on this =/ | 07:19 |
| Seveas-train | shreymech, use locate in the terminal :) | 07:19 |
| shreymech | Surlent777, what is a MS comic chat | 07:19 |
| hendaus | peepingtom, ok i open onboard but there is no showing the f1 f2 .. till the end | 07:19 |

| Surlent777 | shreymech: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Comic_Chat | 07:20 |
| shreymech | Seveas, my GUI is not working | 07:20 |

| peepingtom | comic chat loks wildly entertaining | 07:22 |
| Surlent777 | shreymech: I cannot, as neither of us use that chat client. | 07:22 |
| shreymech | Surlent777, than how come i was creating problem by that # command..???? | 07:22 |
| Surlent777 | shreymech: It was not a problem, it was just seen as annoying by your fellow users, who no doubt justifiably consider it "spam" | 07:23 |

| Spyzer | hi all, i just installed windows 7 over ubuntu and then through live cd got my ubuntu back | 07:25 |
| Spyzer | but | 07:25 |
| Spyzer | windows 7 is not showing in the grub list | 07:25 |
| ikey | Tried running sudo update-grub ? | 07:25 |
| Spyzer | instead the old entry of windows xp profesional(which no longer exists) | 07:26 |
| trim | grub2? | 07:26 |
| Spyzer | grub2 yes | 07:26 |
| trim | everybody hates it | 07:26 |
| rww | i don't | 07:26 |
| trim | hehe | 07:26 |
| Surlent777 | I use BURG | 07:26 |
| Spyzer | okay | 07:26 |
| peepingtom | Surlent777: Well with the file /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume it points to a UUID, a partition to resume from. Do you have that file? maybe it's complaining because you haven't specified which swap partition the ram is dumped to upon hibernation? | 07:26 |
| Spyzer | thanks one more question, I am on a lan | 07:26 |
| Spyzer | everything is fine on ubuntu that is i can ping other systems | 07:27 |
| Surlent777 | peepingtom: Can you refresh me on how to find UUIDs? | 07:27 |
| peepingtom | Surlent777: Like the installer normally takes care of that for you, but perhaps you moved your swap partition and the uuid changed? | 07:27 |
| Spyzer | but in windows it doesn't ping anything(if u can help, please tell) | 07:27 |
| * ikey would say use blkid | 07:28 | |
| peepingtom | Surlent777: run "blkid" | 07:28 |
| Surlent777 | peepingtom: thanks. Interestingly, the UUID in /etc doesn't match what I have here | 07:29 |
| Surlent777 | peepingtom: safe to assume I should replace it? | 07:29 |
| peepingtom | Surlent777: I bet! | 07:29 |
| Surlent777 | peepingtom: changing it and changing it back give me the same error message, but with the corresponding UUIDs | 07:30 |
| navetz | hi, I am trying to do sudo aptitude upgrade but i am getting this message: http://pastebin.ca/1917970 , can someone tell me how I can install all these things? | 07:31 |
| Spyzer | is there any way to check my lan card driver info in ubuntu | 07:31 |
| Surlent777 | navetz: the Kubuntu PPA seems to slooowly push out packages as it sees fit, apparently after enough people complain about dependency problems, or as they're discovered. When this happens, I usually just wait it out and eventually it usually fixes itself | 07:32 |
| peepingtom | Surlent777: You know I just checked it and my /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume doesnt correspond to my swap parition either | 07:32 |
| navetz | Surlent777: ah I see, thanks | 07:32 |
| Surlent777 | peepingtom: seeing that, I will keep it at the original value and move on | 07:32 |
| peepingtom | Surlent777: But I do use an encrypted swap partition | 07:32 |
| Surlent777 | peepingtom: Again, I don't remember doing this =/ I just reinstalled; surely I would have noticed such a thing, right? I only told it to do a private directory I thought? | 07:33 |

| jgcampbell300 | thanks | 07:42 |

| Surlent777 | jgcampbell300: yes | 07:44 |
| Surlent777 | jgcampbell300: the add-ons | 07:44 |
| jgcampbell300 | ok thanks again | 07:44 |
| peepingtom | Surlent777: well yeah comments are different but I only use Ubuntu. So if this really bothers you, this can be fixed the "windows way" by complete reinstall instead of understanding the problem. You can jst boot to a liveCD, mount your partitions, move everythign into a single folder at / , reinstall and then slectively moving stuff back. much faster than using an external hard drive, just don't format when you install ;) | 07:46 |
| Surlent777 | peepingtom: I just reinstalled and don't want to again. Surely there must be a different solution, and some day I will discover it. In the mean time, I have my first day of community college tomorrow and must sleep. Thanks for your assistance. | 07:47 |
| peepingtom | yup no | 07:47 |

| intranut | good | 11:38 |
| intranut | your ram is more than enough | 11:39 |
| Shish | JoeMaverickSett: perhaps you have so much ram, swap isn't needed? | 11:39 |

| matt007 | Shish: http://code.google.com/p/perl-net-im/source/checkout | 11:40 |
| Shish | I have 2GB RAM, ~500MB of which is free, no swap used; though this is having just booted and opened a couple of terminals | 11:40 |
| JoeMaverickSett | trijntje: so, i got 2Gb of RAM and therefore my 6Gb of swap is not being used. | 11:41 |
| trijntje | yeah, I would think so | 11:41 |
| intranut | JoeMaverickSett: my 1 gb is more than enough | 11:41 |
| JoeMaverickSett | so, swap is used only when there seems to be not enough space on RAM, am i right? | 11:41 |
| Shish | if you want to use it, open up any modern web browser and leave it on a javascript-heavy page overnight :P | 11:42 |
| JoeMaverickSett | intranut: oh! okie! | 11:42 |
| trijntje | JoeMaverickSett, yes, because RAM is fast and Swap is slow | 11:42 |

| sebsebseb | judgen: Grub 2 is well rather boring looking by default in Ubuntu, just the black background and white text and such on it. no theme by default | 12:22 |

| topyli | abhinav_singh: the shell sees that as "file DC.png in the directory called AC" and that directory does not exist | 12:23 |

| sebsebseb | judgen: failsafe you mean the uhmm? | 12:23 |
| judgen | lucid | 12:23 |
| Wipster | rdw200169, yeh I am totally stumped | 12:23 |
| judgen | sebsebseb: rescue mode where you can repair packages and stuff. | 12:23 |
| funkyweasel | Sadly, disabling JRE in OpenOffice has not stopped it from crashing once more. :( | 12:23 |
| sebsebseb | judgen: ok thought you meant that | 12:24 |
| sebsebseb | judgen: so yeah theres the normal boot option in that, and the recovery option or something | 12:24 |
| sebsebseb | judgen: and then if you do the recovery option or whatever it was, you get text boot, if I remember correctly | 12:24 |
| sebsebseb | why are you in there anyway, whats the problem? | 12:25 |
| judgen | sebsebseb: sudo and some other packages got broken i just need to repair them | 12:25 |
| Wipster | rdw200169, well I guess it was my fault, apparently it was software flow control opps | 12:26 |
| judgen | when i get to the "this will install <number of packages> do you wish to contineu", the splash steals focus and i cant type Y | 12:26 |
| sebsebseb | judgen: probably a command for that, well sure there will be. Also I would suggest leaving Plymouth alone in 10.04, because they haven't exactly put it into the distro in a good way, and as a result there have been many problems with it, for various people, including myself on the other computer when it ran Ubuntu. | 12:26 |
| rdw200169 | Wipster: at least it works now! ;) | 12:27 |
| judgen | sebsebseb: i had the splash disabled before the update... so i know i can shut down that splash somehow. | 12:27 |
| judgen | but as the grub-update overwrites my grub.cfg every time i do not remember what settings i used. | 12:28 |

| sebsebseb | nogo: Grub 2 sucks | 12:29 |
| nogo | data exchange | 12:29 |
| sebsebseb | nogo: as a result quite a few distros still use the old version by default :) | 12:30 |
| judgen | do not be silly, this is rather pointless.. i just hit google... i know i have disabled them before through grub. | 12:30 |
| sebsebseb | judgen: been a while since I went into recovery mode, and can't just get that in my vm's of Ubuntu it seems. and I no longer have a pshyical install, because of certain issues with 10.04. | 12:31 |
| sebsebseb | judgen: however yeah, so theres like a kind of safe mode in Windows option for recovery mode if I remember correctly, that would boot up Ubuntu? | 12:31 |

Now when I try to run ./setup.py I get the errors shown at http://pastebin.com/McmJ3ZBV. How do I install the missing modules? | 12:38 |
| tomcullinane | hi all i need help | 12:38 |
| manuel__ | my problem is that there is a hidden area on the disk | 12:38 |
| caim | I set the boot parameter to dummy=dummy as I read this is a workaround to other problems with grub2. | 12:38 |
| manuel__ | it is mounted as virtual cd and has wd software on it | 12:39 |
| manuel__ | and is 600 mb big | 12:39 |
| manuel__ | i want to remove that software | 12:39 |
| JonathanEllis | !ask | tomcullinane | 12:39 |
| ubottu | tomcullinane: 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. :-) | 12:39 |
| manuel__ | but the dev is mounted read only | 12:39 |
| manuel__ | how can i remount with rw rights ? | 12:39 |
| JonathanEllis | manuel__: Can you please ask the whole question on one line. Otherwise its very difficult for anyone to read all of it | 12:40 |
| manuel__ | ok | 12:40 |

| Arcidias | JonathanEllis: do you have a readme file, containing the dependencies for scribus? | 12:48 |
| erUSUL | dom_dom: maybe you have to manually instruct the instaler to load the SATA/SAS/RAID drivers ? | 12:48 |
| Arcidias | JonathanEllis: or for the script, more like | 12:48 |
| erUSUL | dom_dom: #ubuntu-server may be a better place to ask | 12:48 |

| dom_dom | erUSUL: i'm trying to use megaraid_sas or mtpsas none of them worked | 12:50 |
| erUSUL | dom_dom: i'm done. that blog post has an update with the three possible drivers you may want to check. mptsas and megaraid_sas | 12:50 |

| cesc_xubuntu | Hi there. I have a wireles usb adapter Alfa Network AWUS036H which works fine on my ubuntu 10.04 PC (It worked straight away without installing drivers), but on this machine with xubuntu it doesn't work. Yesterday I installed the Realtek drivers for chipset rtl8187L and after some problems compiling the source code I finally managed to install the driver successfully. But still doesn't work. Then I though I made a mistake because I reckon the chipset it | 12:53 |
| cesc_xubuntu | uses is rtl8187 without the final L. But I'm having problems compiling this driver, it gives me some errors and if someone could help me I would appreciate. | 12:53 |

| natrixnatrix89 | how do you set workgroup on samba? | 12:57 |
| aeon-ltd | natrixnatrix89: its in the config file, if you meant the name of the workgroup | 12:57 |
| airtonix | natrixnatrix89, easiest way for you is to use samba-admin | 12:57 |
| airtonix | !info system-config-samba | 12:58 |
| ubottu | system-config-samba (source: system-config-samba): GUI for managing samba shares and users. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.63-0ubuntu4 (lucid), package size 568 kB, installed size 5860 kB | 12:58 |
| natrixnatrix89 | airtonix: thanks | 12:58 |
| natrixnatrix89 | but samba-admin is in terminal, right? | 12:58 |
| airtonix | natrixnatrix89, no. | 12:58 |
| JonathanEllis | Arcidias: Thanks. All of those packages could not be found except "sqlite is already the newest version." The readme for the script is at http://tools.assembla.com/scribusmailmerge/browser/lib/README | 12:59 |
| airtonix | natrixnatrix89, install the package : system-config-samba, then run gksudo samba-admin | 13:00 |
| natrixnatrix89 | airtonix: but which is the config file? | 13:00 |
| natrixnatrix89 | i didnt find it in the man | 13:00 |
| airtonix | natrixnatrix89, if you do not understand the concepts behind samba and what effects changing the settings have, then i do not recommend you try (yet)... but anyway the config file is at /etc/samba/smb.conf | 13:01 |
| natrixnatrix89 | this /etc/samba/smb.conf | 13:01 |
| natrixnatrix89 | ? | 13:01 |
| natrixnatrix89 | oh | 13:01 |
| natrixnatrix89 | thanks | 13:01 |
| kyentei | Every time I start my computer. it switches my sdb and sda around. So sometimes I don't get any errors mounting my /dev/sda6 to /home because my fstab says so, the other time I have to manually mount /dev/sdb6 to /home because the devices have changed.. or something. | 13:04 |
| Dr_Willis | kyentei: this is why the change4 to using UUID in fstab instead of /dev/sdXX method | 13:05 |
| Dr_Willis | !uuid | 13:05 |
| ubottu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 13:05 |
| kyentei | Dr_Willis: Okay, thank you | 13:05 |
| Kartagis | hey | 13:06 |
| aeon-ltd | Kartagis: hello | 13:06 |
| Dr_Willis | You could even mount based on Label if you wanted. | 13:06 |
| kyentei | Dr_Willis: So in fstab, I just replace /dev/sda6 with UUID=1234567... | 13:06 |
| Dr_Willis | kyentei: itss odd that sda and sdb are switching. are they both internal HD's ? | 13:06 |
| kyentei | Dr_Willis: Yes. One's IDE and the other's SATA. It never happened before. | 13:07 |
| Dr_Willis | # /home was on /dev/sdb3 during installation | 13:07 |
| Dr_Willis | UUID=18acf0f9-d497-4400-b266-21d4d5c5137c /home ext4 defaults 0 2 | 13:07 |
| kyentei | Dr_Willis: And it doesn't matter of which one I boot. (Both have grub installed on them) | 13:07 |
| kyentei | Dr_Willis: Thanks. :) | 13:07 |
| Dr_Willis | IDE drives ages ago were called by a /dev/hd## type name. | 13:07 |

| Dr_Willis | When i boot a different HD via ther bios or menu. the drive i BOOT is 'sda' ive noticed | 13:07 |
| pk__ | but it starts only when i logon to computer | 13:07 |
| Dr_Willis | the otehrs move around | 13:08 |
| tomcullinane | i have iwlwifi.....ucode how do i install this? i am a newbie to linux | 13:08 |
| pk__ | but i want to run it as soon as computer boots | 13:08 |
| Kaga | pk__, i think the init.d script should launch at boot | 13:08 |
| Dr_Willis | pk__: It does start at boot up here. | 13:08 |
| pk__ | yes it normally used to run when i used older versions of ubuntu | 13:09 |
| pk__ | dunno why it is not doing it now | 13:09 |
| pk__ | Kaga: what? init.d script? | 13:09 |
| Dr_Willis | pk__: what uuntu version you using. | 13:09 |
| pk__ | lucid | 13:09 |
| pk__ | lynx | 13:09 |
| Dr_Willis | ssh in 10.04 is using upstart and /etc/init/ NOT /etc/init.d that i see | 13:09 |
| Dr_Willis | /etc/init/ssh.conf | 13:09 |
| pk__ | then how do i make it to start as service | 13:10 |
| ikonia | Dr_Willis: nice spot, I didn't notice it had been migrated to upstart | 13:10 |
| Pici | Dr_Willis: Its more likely that networking is only starting when pk__ logs in. | 13:10 |
| kyentei | Dr_Willis: He could add it to /etc/rc.local .. :-P | 13:11 |
| Dr_Willis | actually it has somthing in BOTH directory | 13:11 |
| pk__ | Pici : yes probab;ly | 13:11 |
| Dr_Willis | kyentei: it should be starting at boot.. thats how its supposed to default | 13:11 |

| kyentei | Dr_Willis: Nothing wrong with it here either ;-) | 13:11 |
| pk__ | may be i dont get my network started at boo ttime | 13:11 |

| Dr_Willis | pk__: you have a /etc/init/sshd.conf and a /etc/init/ssh ? | 13:11 |
| Dr_Willis | pk__: THATS very likely | 13:12 |
| kyentei | Dr_Willis: That should not matter at all. It's listening on that port, not sending out any data. | 13:12 |

| tomcullinane | Dr_Willis: thats the thing though the card is always defaulted to off, so i have to turn it on each time, dont know why fujitsu didt think it was a good idea to have a physical switch | 13:24 |
| blink | bazhang: so?? | 13:25 |
| Jinxed- | Dr_Willis, the cams will be sending streams (udp, rtsp, rtp) | 13:25 |
| Dr_Willis | tomcullinane: on one of my laptops it looks like a switch but its actually just a button. :() You may want to check teh forums. | 13:26 |
| Dr_Willis | Jinxed-: VLC should be able to capture it then. or perhaps streamtuner/streamripper | 13:26 |
| bazhang | blink, did you need a link to a tutorial or something along those lines? | 13:26 |

| sebsebseb | Dr_Willis: yeah 9.04 the last version to use the good Grub, ah well | 13:57 |
| crunchbang | Dr_Willis, so I guess its (hd0,1) ? | 13:58 |
| Oer | jordi_margalef, maybe the drive is broken ? | 13:58 |
| Dr_Willis | crunchbang: I mean Hard Drives.. not parittions.. if you have 2 actual hard drives.. the first one should be hd0 second hd1 | 13:58 |
| sebsebseb | rousing: install KDM, tell it to use KDM, and then KDM should just show when the computer is turned on or re booted | 13:58 |

| abhijit | Kjeldor, you can just format it? | 14:46 |

| vintner | sacarlson: apparently im running that version or newer, however it is not custom compiled but just the original. is there any way to verify the packages for flash are installed correctly? | 14:47 |

| Stale | vintner: you are in luck, try the opera browser. That is the most powerful mainstream browser I ever used. Works well if you have the WineHQ working. | 14:51 |

Installed Ubuntu 10.04 via a usb hdd (the laptop dosen't have a dvd player). Realised the wlan was disabled with no way of turning it on (the "hardware" key on the side of the computer dosen't work). Installed backports, still wouldn't work. Downloaded latest driver and compiled it, still | 14:57 |
| ivers | Micke_: have you checked that your revision is supported and working ? | 14:57 |
| airtonix | Stale, i think you are confusing the concept of a "repository" and a "program"... repositories are not "installed". | 14:58 |
| Stale | sacarlson: I know wineHQ might be heavy on the Ubuntu, but it works like a windows would, only difference is that it is free from wga. | 14:59 |

| frxstrem | is there a program for viewing binary files in Ubuntu? | 15:02 |
| pranay_09 | Oer; thanks, but i already have a local apt mirror on my server ,for karmic and i need to change to lucid , so just by substituting karmic for lucid in the apt-mirror configuration file will do? | 15:02 |
| Stale | airtonix: I think the guide also works for jaunty, Intrepid, and Hardy too. | 15:02 |
| prizm | and ubuntu LTS is just certain ubuntu versions with special support | 15:02 |
| atyz | prizm: i know that, but i always thought lts was like long term service, so i figured it would stay 10.04 even when 10.10 came out? | 15:02 |
| airtonix | Stale, i stopped using hardy 3 years ago. | 15:03 |

| sacarlson | vintner: very good | 15:04 |
| airtonix | Stale, it's assumed that in this channel when you ask for help about ubuntu , that you are using the latest version (being 10.04)...unless you say otherwise when you ask for help. | 15:04 |
| prizm | What is a good graphics card that will get good framerates in games like The Sims 3 (normal mode) - I won't have compositing BTW/ | 15:05 |

| eztop | airtonix: letting my laptop go to sleep results in a crash... screen goes white at the bottom... unresponsive and artifacts everywhere | 15:07 |
| sacarlson | spasysheep: good question, I'm not sure, unless you just write a big file and compare it with what it was? | 15:07 |
| BluesKaj | Micke_, what about NM , does it show a wifi option and wlan0? | 15:07 |
| Pici | spasysheep: Either from system>administration>Disks (I thinks thats what its called) or manually by installing smartmontools. | 15:07 |
| Stale | sacarlson: that is also a good idea, but I will remember to use the Windows (wubi) version for Ubuntu 10.04. | 15:08 |
| eztop | I have debian and ubuntu partitions | 15:08 |
| airtonix | eztop, I rarely power my netbook off. it suspends fine. | 15:08 |
| eztop | I'm switching the ubuntu to a mint one to see if it's better | 15:08 |
| sacarlson | Stale: they are telling me NOT to use wubi | 15:08 |
| hvralpha | Micke, presume you did restart after changing the setting? | 15:08 |
| sacarlson | Stale: in virtualbox you can install ubuntu direct you don't need window to have virtualbox | 15:09 |
| eztop | airtonix: I rarely power down too ... but, then I can't put the lid down in ubuntu or i have to reboot | 15:09 |
| Micke_ | BluesKaj: The applet only shows "wireless is disabled". | 15:09 |
| eztop | airtonix: so, I use debian more and recommend it | 15:09 |
| sacarlson | Stale: you can have as I do in virtualbox ubuntu 8.04, 9.10 , 10.04, 10.10 .... | 15:09 |

| Kjeldor | What is a good lightweight system monitor? | 15:13 |
| RainRain | kyentei: thanks - yes but it's not that important - i was just thinking it would be somewhere on the net | 15:13 |
| kyentei | corpsicle: ubuntu with the lxde desktop environment. | 15:13 |
| bons | ctrl + shift + arrow | 15:13 |
| kyentei | RainRain: perhaps some googling, of deviantart, if you do know the file name | 15:13 |
| === emc_ is now known as emc | ||
| BluesKaj | sacarlson, I had it working on my laptop with atheros driver on 9.10 , but NM on 10.04 worked out of the box so to speak | 15:13 |
| eztop | drcode_: lxde or xfce in debian is a good option | 15:13 |
| eztop | lubuntu is plagued with bugs that no one attends to | 15:14 |
| BluesKaj | sacarlson, wicd that is | 15:14 |
| kyentei | RainRain: You could even use a live cd and get your hands on it :-P | 15:14 |
| guampa | Kjeldor: conky is the best | 15:14 |
| etrisnanto | hello all | 15:14 |
| RainRain | kyentei: thanks | 15:14 |
| eztop | lubuntu is lxde + bugs | 15:14 |
| Stale | airtonix: that is good to know. I thought I must install windows on wineHQ, virtualbox on windows, and finally dual-boot Ubuntu10.04 on that windows. | 15:14 |
| shamez | kjeldor, have you tried sysmon | 15:14 |
| bons | !info rootstock | 15:14 |
| ubottu | rootstock (source: rootstock): shellscript to create armel rootfs tarballs using a VM. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.1.99.3-0ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 13 kB, installed size 72 kB | 15:14 |
| itmustbejj | bons: that scrolls up/down in the scroll bar, I mean actually browse the the command history as in previously used commands | 15:14 |
| bons | lol | 15:14 |
| kyentei | eztop: Is that so? Which bugs? | 15:14 |
| shamez | guampa, sometimes conky is kinda buggy | 15:15 |
| eztop | kyentel: ongoing terminal windown title bar bug | 15:15 |
| sacarlson | BluesKaj: I see some people that have perfect drivers that just need wicd it seems. but I have seen some people that I tried to help that as you no longer work in 10.04 | 15:15 |
| Kjeldor | ill try conky, can anybody guide me thru to set it up? | 15:15 |
| eztop | kyentel: hibernate bug i just mentioned | 15:15 |
| guampa | shamez: could be, haven't had problems myself | 15:15 |
| eztop | kyentei: crashes, browser crashes | 15:15 |
| Alt096 | hi all | 15:16 |
| eztop | many more | 15:16 |
| kyentei | eztop: As result of what? Firefox runs just fine on Lubuntu 10.04 | 15:16 |
| Alt096 | do you believe that ubu is stable under sun vm? | 15:16 |
| Alt096 | i use w7 | 15:16 |
| shamez | guampa, there are some systems which dont comply with its ability of double buffering | 15:16 |
| kyentei | eztop: it's just ubuntu minimal with Lxde. | 15:16 |
| sacarlson | BluesKaj: another solution for virtualbox run your wifi in there on ubuntu 9.1 and share you conection with your new ubuntu 10.04 | 15:16 |
| guampa | shamez: such as? | 15:16 |
| Oer | eztop stop calling all ubuntu distro's buggy, it is not true :( | 15:16 |
| eztop | kyentel: yes, with bugs.. | 15:16 |
| eztop | Oer: it is! | 15:17 |
| cosmic | hello | 15:17 |
| cosmic | i am new | 15:17 |
| erUSUL | !hi | cosmic | 15:17 |
| ubottu | cosmic: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 15:17 |
| kyentei | eztop: I'd like to see bug reports. | 15:17 |
| BluesKaj | sacarlson, yes , I tried wicd with a belkin wifi usb adapter on a desktop we have in one of the far bedrooms , trying to save running cat5/6 thruout the house , but wicd connects to the router only , it can't get to the interner | 15:17 |
| Alt096 | hi I am new | 15:17 |
| Stale | Oer: but is free, yes. | 15:17 |
| eztop | Oer: I just described a bug with hibernate that debian doesn't have! | 15:17 |
| shamez | guampa, well i have an old pentium which doesn't work very well with conky..flickers all the time | 15:17 |
| Gangrel | is there a way to change xsplash and usplash on lucid? | 15:17 |
| Alt096 | too | 15:17 |
| kyentei | eztop: specific to your hardware ;-) | 15:17 |
| eztop | I have reported two bugs but not much response | 15:17 |
| sacarlson | BluesKaj: that's how I got my canon printer to work in ubuntu 8.04 64bit, they didn't have drivers for 64bit so I just shared the printer in virtualbox running ubuntu 8.04 32bit | 15:18 |
| kyentei | eztop: So it could very well be a kernel issue | 15:18 |
| eztop | kyentel: I don't know | 15:18 |
| guampa | shamez: tried disabling the double buffering? | 15:18 |
| eztop | kyentei: if it is, then they don't care about hardware | 15:18 |
| eztop | kyentei: kernel issue? | 15:18 |
| Kjeldor | Can anybody help me set this up? http://conkyhardcore.com/screenshots/2009/by-crinos512/ | 15:18 |
| kyentei | eztop: But if you prefer debian, by all means ;-) I still use debian sid on some of my machines. But there's no need for replying to every question here that whatever they ask includes bugs. | 15:18 |
| Arcidias | http://conkyhardcore.com/screenshots/2009/by-crinos512/ | 15:18 |
| Arcidias | http://conkyhardcore.com/screenshots/2009/by-crinos512/ | 15:18 |
| eztop | 10.04 kernel is 2.6.32-5-686? | 15:19 |
| Kjeldor | ? | 15:19 |
| guampa | shamez: anyway i'm talking nonsense, db is supposed to aleviate flickering | 15:19 |
| Stale | optimum performance requires RAM, just letting people know about it. | 15:19 |
| Jinxed- | Does anyone know how to stream a webcam with ffmpeg over your network in ubuntu 10.04? | 15:19 |
| kyentei | eztop: 2.6.32-24-generic | 15:19 |
| Kjeldor | Can anybody help me set this up? http://conkyhardcore.com/screenshots/2009/by-crinos512/ | 15:19 |
| eztop | kyentei: well, I have no choice but to use debian instead | 15:19 |
| shamez | guampa, have you ever tried having a terminal as wallpaper... | 15:20 |
| cosmic | is there anyone good at fortran ? | 15:20 |
| ilovefairuz | !info webcam-server | Jinxed- | 15:20 |
| ubottu | Jinxed-: webcam-server (source: webcam-server): a tool to share webcam streaming in www-browser. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.50-4 (lucid), package size 56 kB, installed size 152 kB | 15:20 |
| eztop | kyentei: well, if you download the iso and install, isn't it at 2.6.32-5? | 15:20 |
| Arcidias | Kjeldor: you need to replace everything in your .conkyrc with the one on this site | 15:20 |
| eztop | I should upgrade my kernel? | 15:20 |
| kyentei | eztop: I'm not so sure. | 15:20 |
| Arcidias | Kjeldor: then, copy the scripts into the hidden conky directory in your home dir | 15:21 |
| eztop | oh, wait, nevermind | 15:21 |
| Kjeldor | yes, how do I do that, Its my 2nd day using UBUNTU | 15:21 |
| sacarlson | Jinxed-: I'm not sure about stream but I like the package motion it detects changes in images and posts them to a local web site | 15:21 |
| guampa | shamez: to be honest, i dont know how it performs on an old pentium, but afaik it isn't the same with conky | 15:21 |
| guampa | (to embed a terminal) | 15:21 |
| eztop | that's the debian kernel | 15:22 |
| eztop | anyway, are those large differences? | 15:22 |
| Jinxed- | ilovefairuz, do you have any more info on that package google i not being too helpful | 15:22 |
| cosmic | is there any good at fortran ? | 15:22 |
| ilovefairuz | !who | eztop | 15:22 |
| ubottu | eztop: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 15:22 |
| Stale | Kjeldor: Do what? | 15:22 |
| kyentei | eztop: Perhaps they are. Try 10.10 ;-) | 15:22 |
| ilovefairuz | Jinxed-: why don't you install it and read the manpages? | 15:22 |
| tomcullinane | hi could somebody please help me install acerhk-0.5.35 | 15:23 |
| caim | grub2 is retarded I can't believe I spent 2 days trying to figure out the problem with it and it was a "return" between two kernel parameters | 15:23 |
| Pici | cosmic: This channel is only for Ubuntu support, try #fortran for fortran help. | 15:23 |
| eztop | kyentei: really? | 15:23 |
| Arcidias | Kjeldor: the .conkyrc is in your home dir, open nautilus (file manager) then press ctrl+h so you see hidden files (everything in *nix based systems with a . in front is treated as hidden file) | 15:23 |
| Goliath | hey | 15:23 |
| bazhang | cosmic, in #fortran | 15:23 |
| sacarlson | cosmic: wow old stuf havn't writen frotran since 1982 | 15:23 |
| shamez | cosmic, well is it related with java | 15:23 |
| Goliath | whats the default video driver for ubuntu? | 15:23 |
| cosmic | Pici: thanks | 15:23 |
| kyentei | eztop: Perhaps 10.10 works.. :-) who knows ;-) | 15:23 |
| ilovefairuz | Jinxed-: after installation type: dpkg -L webcam-server (to list its files) | 15:23 |
| Arcidias | Kjeldor: then copy the .conkyrc you downloaded from that site into your home dir | 15:23 |
| Kjeldor | dont i need to install conky first? | 15:23 |
| eztop | kyentei: I didn't think the kernel changes would be such that it would make a difference with hibernate | 15:23 |
| Arcidias | Kjeldor: I assume you have conky | 15:23 |
| Kjeldor | not yet | 15:23 |
| Kjeldor | i have no idea how to | 15:23 |
| shamez | cosmic, what are you planning to do with that language anywayz its so ancient.. | 15:23 |
| Arcidias | Kjeldor: hahah, then install conky - sudo apt-get install conky | 15:23 |
| ilovefairuz | Goliath: to find your display driver, type in a terminal: lshw -C display | 15:23 |
| eztop | ilovefairuz: sorry | 15:24 |
| ilovefairuz | !who | Kjeldor | 15:24 |
| ubottu | Kjeldor: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 15:24 |
| eztop | ubottu: oops | 15:24 |
| kyentei | eztop: Well it's not just that the software is shutting down on your machine. It's very much hardware related, so it could easily be something in the 10.04 kernel and your hardware. | 15:24 |
| Stale | Kjeldor: You do not need conky to install ubuntu. | 15:24 |
| eztop | kyentei: maybe | 15:24 |
| Arcidias | Stale: wtf?! | 15:24 |
| avi_ | hey guys, I've got a bunch of HFS+ (journaling disabled) partitions, and I can browse them in Nautilus and stuff. However, I can't write to them. Not even in gksudo+Nautilus.. Am I needing to do something else? | 15:24 |
| eztop | kyentei: but, I reported what I thought was bugs...but not much attention given | 15:24 |
| sacarlson | cosmic: you need to find an old fart like me with 3 times more brain cells. | 15:25 |
| cosmic | shamez: oh. it is one of my course next term | 15:25 |
| eztop | kyentei: that's insulting | 15:25 |
| Stale | Goliath: Ubuntu has various RAM requirements. | 15:25 |
| kyentei | eztop: What's insulting? | 15:25 |
| adminewb | Help? Earlier I'd been told to enable sharing of the internet connection from Network Manager; both interfaces are configured there, but I can't find where to link the two, to share one through the other. | 15:25 |
| eztop | kyentei: the fact there is little attention given to the bugs | 15:25 |
| Jinxed- | ilovefairuz, do you know how to stream with ffmpeg by chance. The thing is Im trying to get it to work with zoneminder which takes an ffmpeg stream | 15:25 |
| wildman | I'm having a lot of these lately: geeqie-standard[3474]: segfault at 4 ip b69bbad8 sp bf9092c0 error 4 in libfreetype.so.6.3.22[b6973000+71000], mediatomb[2704]: segfault at 4a4235a2 ip b68a800e sp b1a7b430 error 4 in libavcodec.so.52.20.1[b676c000+52f000], any ideas? | 15:25 |
| eztop | kyentei: they're serious... not having a title bar for your console windows..that's pretty....BAD | 15:26 |
| Stale | Goliath: for instance, the Ubuntu 8.04.1 requires nearly 255 RAM | 15:26 |
| cosmic | sacarlson: sorry, i am not quite understand your mean. | 15:26 |
| eztop | kyentei: and it gets worse if you try to move the terminal around | 15:26 |
| kyentei | eztop: Ah. Well there are not any software upgrades within a version release. So you can probably find these bugfixes in 10.10 ;-) | 15:26 |
| sacarlson | cosmic: if you have to take obsolete languages I suggest taking asembly language if that was an option | 15:26 |
| kyentei | eztop: That's an option you can configure. | 15:26 |
| ilovefairuz | Jinxed-: trust me, manpages are the way to go for this stuff | 15:26 |
| Pici | eztop: Have you logged your bug? | 15:26 |
| eztop | kyentei: I would like to try 10.10 but my optical drive is not working... can i boot 10.10 via usb stick? | 15:27 |
| sacarlson | cosmic: I was just restating what other have said it's an old language let it die in peace | 15:27 |
| Jinxed- | ilovefairuz, alright the ffmpeg man doc is as long has the harry potter series | 15:27 |
| eztop | Pici: yes, I did | 15:27 |
| kyentei | eztop: Of course you can. | 15:27 |
| tomcullinane | i am new to linux and i'm having trouble understanding how to install acerhk-0.5.35, i have downloaded it and the folder contains an install file a .c file a .h file an install file and a installl file | 15:27 |
| eztop | Pici: both bugs although I perceive more | 15:27 |
| kyentei | eztop: if the default startup disk creator doesn't work, just use unetbootin. | 15:27 |
| eztop | Pici: but, the ones that were more serious for me | 15:27 |
| cosmic | sacarlson: oh. but i major in chemistry, not code | 15:27 |
| kyentei | eztop: Run it live, and test hibernate..? ;-) | 15:27 |
| Oer | ah eztop, maybe your laptop is old and buggy ? not ubuntu .. | 15:27 |
| eztop | kyentei: oooh, I don't like netbootin...never works for me | 15:28 |
| ilovefairuz | Jinxed-: haha, yes, here's a tip to make it easier to read, alt+f2 and type: yelp man:ffmpeg | 15:28 |
| sacarlson | cosmic: so they don't port the chemistry into newer stuf? | 15:28 |
| shamez | tomcullinane, well try compiling | 15:28 |
| kyentei | eztop: Okay, well. that sure ain't a bug ;-) | 15:28 |
| eztop | Oer: it's old but hibernate should still work! | 15:28 |
| tomcullinane | shamez: how do i compile | 15:28 |
| eztop | Oer: not paying attention to my chat? :) hibernate works in debian | 15:28 |
| prizm | tomcullinane: You got the source code, you have to compile it into a program | 15:28 |
| prizm | tomcullinane: open a terminal. | 15:28 |
| eztop | I guess it could be kernel-related with ubuntu's kernel but still | 15:28 |
| cosmic | sacarlson: yes, my teacher told me that i should learn fortran wel | 15:28 |
| prizm | Applications->accessories->terminal | 15:29 |
| tomcullinane | prizm: yeah opened terminal | 15:29 |
| bazhang | !ot | sacarlson cosmic | 15:29 |
| ubottu | sacarlson cosmic: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 15:29 |
| prizm | tomcullinane: type this: | 15:29 |
| sacarlson | cosmic: wow speak of chemistry I should go off line with you to chat about hydroponics problems I have with my chemistry solutions | 15:29 |
| eztop | I think there's a few other usb apps that can create the live iso | 15:29 |
| shamez | tomcullinane, cd in the folder using the terminal type ./configure then ... make && make install | 15:29 |
| prizm | sudo apt-get install build-essentials | 15:29 |
| Pici | sacarlson, cosmic: Could we please stay on topic here, #ubuntu-offtopic awaits. | 15:29 |
| eztop | i'd like to try 10.10 to see if it's fixed | 15:29 |
| Pici | prizm: no s at the end of that. | 15:29 |
| prizm | ahhh | 15:29 |
| bazhang | prizm, build-essential not an s | 15:29 |
| tomcullinane | prizm: right | 15:30 |
| prizm | My knowledge at building from source is rustier than a spoon. | 15:30 |
| cosmic | Pici: sorry for my off topic | 15:30 |
| sacarlson | cosmic: he (your teacher) must be an old fart like me. he needs an upgrade | 15:30 |
| SingAlong | How do I find the IP address of my router from ifconfig? | 15:30 |
| eztop | I'm building a desktop and I think 10.04 or 10.10 would work on that... I'll admit that but not an enthusiastic ubuntu user! i feel bugs are neglected | 15:30 |
| wildman | I'm having a lot of these lately: geeqie-standard[3474]: segfault at 4 ip b69bbad8 sp bf9092c0 error 4 in libfreetype.so.6.3.22[b6973000+71000], mediatomb[2704]: segfault at 4a4235a2 ip b68a800e sp b1a7b430 error 4 in libavcodec.so.52.20.1[b676c000+52f000], any ideas? | 15:31 |
| guampa | SingAlong: ifconfig lists the ip addresses of the interfaces of your machine, can't show interfaces of an external router | 15:31 |
| airtonix | SingAlong, ifconfig won't show you the ip addresses of other devices | 15:31 |
| SingAlong | guampa: oh. | 15:31 |
| shamez | singAlong, are you in a class 'c' network | 15:31 |
| cosmic | sacarlson: maybe you are right | 15:32 |
| SingAlong | I'm tethering wifi from my phone and to share desktop using remote desktop I need to know the server's address (which is the address of the phone right)? | 15:32 |
| ilovefairuz | eztop: there's only so much "engineering bandwidth" to fix stuff, if you really need something, roll up your sleeves and get it done or pay someone to do it | 15:32 |
| SingAlong | shamez: now whats that? :P | 15:32 |
| airtonix | SingAlong, i suggest you investigate the use of either nmap or zenmap to discover or map out the ip addresses of your network | 15:32 |
| jk_ | SingAlong: the others are right, but your router's address may be listed as the gateway address for the internal interface you're using. | 15:32 |
| adminewb | Help? I'd been told internet connection sharing can be enabled from Network Manager; both interfaces are configured there, but I can't find where to link the two, to share one through the other. | 15:32 |
| RogProg | Why does captain picard uses sunglasses | 15:33 |
| shamez | singAlong, ok thats hard explaining google at your own time... your ip router might be 192.168.1.1 thats my gues | 15:33 |
| BluesKaj | SingAlong, if your phone is connected to the desktop , try route in the terminal | 15:33 |
| eztop | ilovefairuz: they can't look at it that it works in debian and use that as a guide? | 15:33 |
| guampa | jk_: that could be the case if the machine has been autoconfigured with dhcp | 15:33 |
| RogProg | Because he wants to cooly go where noone has gone before! | 15:33 |
| Stale | adminewb: hello. what is shared net connection? | 15:33 |
| eztop | ilovefairuz: I didn't think it would be a complicated issue... | 15:33 |
| bazhang | RogProg, please stay on topic | 15:33 |
| cosmic | it's my first time chatting in IRC | 15:33 |
| ilovefairuz | eztop: did you point that out to them? | 15:33 |
| === iqbal is now known as Guest14287 | ||

| eztop | ilovefairuz: yes, I pointed that out | 15:34 |
| FlashDeluxe | hi@all! Has anybody got experiences with bluetooth headset and can tell me how he connects to his/er headset? | 15:34 |
| ilovefairuz | eztop: what package is it? | 15:34 |
| eztop | ilovefairuz: I sent pastepins of the output ...whatever was requested | 15:34 |
| adminewb | Stale: I'm sharing a wired eth0 connection over wireless ad hoc | 15:35 |
| ilovefairuz | FlashDeluxe: right-click on bluetooth icon, select add new device, complete the pairing with your headset, done! | 15:35 |
| adminewb | did that answer? | 15:35 |
| eztop | ilovefairuz: I was suggested to try 10.10 ..and a daily build but i don't want to install it... I would try a live 10.10 though | 15:35 |
| Stale | adminewb: yes | 15:35 |
| ilovefairuz | eztop: what package is it? | 15:35 |
| eztop | I created a live cd on my desktop, it's a daily build installer.... but the cd wouldn't be read on my cd-rom in the laptop | 15:35 |
| eztop | ilovefairuz: which one? | 15:36 |
| shamez | eztop, did you make it bootable | 15:36 |
| ilovefairuz | eztop: that has the issue fixed in debian | 15:36 |
| eztop | ilovefairuz: one bug is the terminal titlebar | 15:36 |
| Stale | adminewb: it seems as if you wanted to connect networks, right? | 15:36 |
| adminewb | Stale: yes what should I do? | 15:37 |
| eztop | shamez: yes... that is my hardware, though... my laptop sucks! :'( | 15:37 |
| FlashDeluxe | ilovefairuz: Ok, it does find my blackberry but it does not find the hedset :( | 15:37 |
| ilovefairuz | FlashDeluxe: what's the model of your headset? does it have a button to make it discoverable ? | 15:38 |

| user_ | sany | 15:40 |
| bons | why are u missing it? | 15:40 |
| abstrakt | hi, what client should I use/install for VPN? | 15:40 |
| bons | did u check in your home? | 15:40 |

| itmustbejj | bons: no clue, just set up a new username and logged in and it was never there | 15:40 |
| abstrakt | has not made it clear to me | 15:40 |
| eztop | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/614180 | 15:40 |
| abstrakt | my sysadmin gave me a zip file with a folder called 'openvpn' | 15:40 |
| itmustbejj | bons: gunna try logging out/in to see if it creates it | 15:40 |
| bons | k | 15:40 |
| tomcullinane | is there a way to pause an irc | 15:40 |
| abstrakt | that has apparently the secure keys | 15:40 |
| adminewb | Stale: in Network Manager I can get connection info showing both interfaces set up as expected; can't see where though to link them together with one default gateway on eth0 | 15:41 |
| abstrakt | tomcullinane, no | 15:41 |
| tomcullinane | :/ | 15:41 |
| eztop | I would like to do as suggested at the end of the bug report but the created dvd iso would not boot in my optical drive | 15:41 |
| erUSUL | tomcullinane: define "pause" | 15:41 |
| abstrakt | but the openvpn website only has Ubuntu 8 and Ubuntu 9 | 15:41 |
| gentooxer | tomcullinane: just scroll up | 15:41 |
| shamez | FlashDeluxe, what bout hidd --search | 15:41 |
| erUSUL | !find openvpn | 15:41 |
| ubottu | Found: openvpn-blacklist, ebox-openvpn, gadmin-openvpn-client, gadmin-openvpn-client-dbg, gadmin-openvpn-server (and 6 others) | 15:41 |
| abstrakt | tomcullinane, that would go against all ideas of IRC, that's just kind of pointless | 15:41 |
| eztop | some cds and dvds work, some don't... i would replace the optical drive but not worth it | 15:41 |
| Stale | adminewb: Maybe your can see if they are connected to the same network name. | 15:41 |
| headkase314 | tomcullinane, scroll up then it won't autoscroll until you scroll back to the bottom. If the window loses focus usually it will put a red line in the conversation where it last had focus. | 15:41 |
| abstrakt | erUSUL, hrm, so should I install one of those? | 15:42 |
| eztop | if I can get my usb stick to boot 10.10, I could test it | 15:42 |
| erUSUL | abstrakt: install network-manager-openvpn-gnome <<< that adds support to networkmanager | 15:42 |
| abstrakt | i'm guessing maybe I should install gadmin-openvpn-client | 15:42 |
| abstrakt | ahh ok thx | 15:42 |
| FlashDeluxe | shamez: nothing :( doesnt find anything | 15:42 |
| erUSUL | abstrakt: the network icon in the right corner | 15:42 |
| adminewb | Stale: I don't understand | 15:42 |
| tomcullinane | it keeps autoscrolling :(] | 15:42 |
| itmustbejj | bons: didn't work, I have .bashrc and .bash_logout but no .bash_history | 15:42 |
| Stale | adminewb: I usually see a network name for one LAN. | 15:42 |
| bons | try this http://rubenlaguna.com/wp/2007/01/08/bash/ | 15:42 |
| gentooxer | tomcullinane: use an other client | 15:42 |
| eztop | ilovefairuz: anyway, if I have to abandon pursuing the issue... I'll let it go... I would like to help solve the bug but yes, my hardware is in bad shape | 15:42 |
| abstrakt | erUSUL, oh and my GNOME panels are fairly heavily modified from the default | 15:42 |
| abstrakt | so that icon may or may not be where you said it was :) | 15:43 |
| erUSUL | tomcullinane: use a proper irc client... empathy is good for im but irc ... | 15:43 |
| tomcullinane | gentooxer: i will do in future :) | 15:43 |
| utkanos | quick q, is there an escape sequence during the initial install process of ubuntu 10.04 to see what its currently doing? having an issue on a laptop where it just shows the first graphic with the guy with his hands in the air and it stops there | 15:43 |
| eztop | can I change the subject? can I ask about graphics cards? | 15:43 |
| shamez | FlashDeluxe, try playing around with /etc/hcid.conf | 15:43 |
| tomcullinane | erUSUL: i usually do and will do in future | 15:43 |
| adminewb | Stale: eth0 is the only name referencing the wired ethernet | 15:43 |
| erUSUL | abstrakt: is the network manager icon the one you use with wifi or wired | 15:43 |
| tomcullinane | :) | 15:43 |
| utkanos | drive continues to seek but nothing happens | 15:43 |
| abstrakt | ah ok | 15:43 |
| abstrakt | yeah so I have a wifi icon | 15:43 |
| headkase314 | tomcullinane, xchat is good just make sure you install xchat and not xchat-gnome | 15:43 |
| gentooxer | eztop: you could give it a try | 15:43 |
| abstrakt | I use wifi... i can use wired too but right now I'm on wifi | 15:44 |
| eztop | I want to upgrade my video card... does 10.04 or 10.10 work with ati cards? or should i stick with nvidia? | 15:44 |
| tomcullinane | headKase314: thanks :) | 15:44 |
| eztop | any ati owners here? | 15:44 |
| erUSUL | abstrakt: well it can configure vpn connections too if you install the plugins | 15:44 |
| FlashDeluxe | shamez: woo :S That file doesnt exist?! | 15:44 |
| headkase314 | tomcullinane, you're welcome. | 15:44 |
| eztop | gentooxer: i'll try :) | 15:44 |
| Stale | adminewb: how about the wireless connection? Is the wireless connection connected to 'eth0'? | 15:44 |
| abstrakt | ok cool, yeah i just ran sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn-gnome | 15:44 |
| abstrakt | and there is infact a VPN tab | 15:44 |
| gentooxer | eztop: do you need glx? | 15:44 |
| adminewb | Stale: no the wireless has its SSID but I don't think that's what you mean | 15:44 |
| headkase314 | eztop, I'm an Ati Radeon HD 4670 | 15:44 |
| eztop | I use video a lot and I was wondering if hd 5000 cards work in ubuntu 10.04 | 15:45 |
| eztop | headkase314: can you use vlc? | 15:45 |
| eztop | I was told there's tearing | 15:45 |
| headkase314 | eztop, I have 10.7 proprietary drivers installed and VLC and all other tasks work as expected. | 15:45 |
| utkanos | having install issue where after it boots from CD and shows the man w/ hands in the air graphic at the bottom and just freezes, any way to escape out of it to see what its hanging on? | 15:45 |
| sacarlson | aminewb: did you ever pastebin your route and ifconfig and iwconfig if wifi? mabe I didn't look back far enuf | 15:45 |
| eztop | headkase314: oh? | 15:46 |
| shamez | FlashDeluxe, my guess you have some bluetooth apps conflicting with bluezutils | 15:46 |
| gentooxer | eztop: WoW in wine and ati doesn't work ... | 15:46 |
| adminewb | Stale, in the Connection Information page, it gives wired tab for "Auto eth0 (default)" & "homenet" for the wireless; how are these names used? | 15:46 |
| Aiya | Greetings.Im now in ubuntu netbook remix edition.My laptop has build in bluetooth where i was able to use in my windows 7.How do I confiure it and turn on the bluetooth in ubuntu.Thanks | 15:46 |
| headkase314 | eztop, I don't really use WINE, sorry. Give a second. | 15:46 |
| eztop | gentooxer: oh, i see... does wow and wine work with nvidia cards? | 15:46 |
| judgen | how do i disable ubuntu from running X or gdm at startup? | 15:46 |
| bazhang | !nox | judgen | 15:46 |
| ubottu | judgen: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 15:46 |
| eztop | headkase314: I probably wouldn't use wine much either... just curious | 15:47 |
| gentooxer | eztop: yes | 15:47 |
| judgen | thanks | 15:47 |
| hmw | On my 9.10 Karmicm, I can't find the packet "astrolog" in my repos nor can I install a .deb (which I could install on my 9.04) - is there any astrology software for Karmic, that works "out of the box"? | 15:47 |
| FlashDeluxe | shamez: damn....how can i get rid of these tools? :( | 15:47 |
| eztop | gentooxer: yes? with any nvidia card? | 15:47 |
| headkase314 | eztop, have you checked out this guide -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft | 15:47 |
| Stale | adminewb: the auto eth0/ethernet is just a name for the wired internet connection. | 15:47 |
| utkanos | having install issue where after it boots from CD and shows the man w/ hands in the air graphic at the bottom and just freezes, any way to escape out of it to see what its hanging on? | 15:47 |
| gentooxer | eztop: I don't know if any card will work | 15:47 |
| adminewb | Stale, right | 15:47 |
| Milos_SD | Is there someone here that mentain xorg-edgers PPA? | 15:47 |
| eztop | headkase314: no, not until you linked it ;) | 15:47 |
| Pici | Milos_SD: #ubuntu-x would be your best bet. | 15:48 |
| headkase314 | eztop, ok hope the link is useful ;) | 15:48 |
| eztop | gentooxer: why don't you know?!? ;-) | 15:48 |
| adminewb | Stale, is there something I have to do in a terminal to link these 2? | 15:48 |
| shamez | FlashDeluxe, try 'apt-get --purge remove ' most of the blue* tools and reinstall bluezutils | 15:48 |
| Stale | adminewb: so everytime you use a ethernet cable, you get your wired internet with hardly any waiting. | 15:48 |
| eztop | headkase314: it will... at least, it is interesting to check out ;) | 15:48 |
| gentooxer | eztop: I don't have all cards at home ... | 15:48 |
| FlashDeluxe | shamez: OK | 15:48 |
| eztop | gentooxer: haha... | 15:49 |
| RainRain | for some reason i cant find a simple way of having a shortcut to my <name> folder in home on my desktop - what am i missing? | 15:49 |
| adminewb | Stale, er yes, why are we talking about waiting? | 15:49 |
| Stale | adminewb: as far as I know, I do not see a reason why I would link the two connections. | 15:49 |
| eztop | gentooxer: I have a 7950gt in my desktop box | 15:49 |
| abstrakt | erUSUL, ok I have configured my VPN connection in the network manager | 15:49 |
| headkase314 | eztop, I actually have crossover games purchased and installed - but yet I still don't have any Windows games installed! I'll get around to it sometime! ;) | 15:49 |
| abstrakt | and now it appears in the list of VPN Connections when I click on my network icon in my panel/tray thing | 15:49 |
| eztop | gentooxer: but, family computer died so not using the desktop at the moment | 15:49 |
| utkanos | anyone? heh | 15:49 |
| gentooxer | eztop: I think nvidia is better | 15:49 |
| abstrakt | but, when I select that VPN connection essentially "nothing happens" | 15:49 |
| abstrakt | i don't get a window, I don't get an error, I don't get an error window | 15:50 |
| hmw | RainRain: you could open the /home directory in Nautilus and use the middle Mouse button to drag your <name> folder to the Desktop and make "link here" | 15:50 |
| adminewb | Stale, I want to link the two in order to share wired connection with other wireless clients | 15:50 |
| eztop | gentooxer: probably | 15:50 |
| abstrakt | just... nothing | 15:50 |
| abstrakt | how can I troubleshoot my vpn connection? | 15:50 |
| eztop | headkase314: I'd probably use windows for games but... | 15:50 |
| eztop | headkase314: if I needed any ms software, i'd want to try wine | 15:50 |
| headkase314 | eztop, if you need games then the ideal solution is a dual-boot - much less bleeping around. | 15:50 |
| eztop | headkase314: yes, agree with that | 15:51 |
| bons | abstrakt wich vpn server/client are you using? | 15:51 |
| sacarlson | aminewb: I think for simplicity what you want to do is bridge eth0 and wlanX there is software to do that brctl I think. another solution is to route them as I do on my network, but that's just so I can filter out people I don't want. | 15:51 |
| Aiya | reetingss.I have install ubuntu in my laptop where at the beginning windows 7 already installed.Now how do I configure to make it ubuntu as my defult login when its came to dual boot menu(currently its will go to windows 7)... | 15:51 |
| abstrakt | bons, openvpn | 15:51 |
| eztop | headkase314: i have a dual-boot now...well, triple boot on my laptop | 15:51 |
| bons | are you calling it from commandline? | 15:51 |
| MarkSS | Let's say I have two Ubuntu partitions? How do I delete one or get rid of it? | 15:51 |
| eztop | is there any grub problems with windows 7? | 15:51 |
| adminewb | sacarlson: sounds all right; see man page for brctl then? | 15:51 |
| bons | MArkSS install gparted | 15:51 |
| bazhang | MarkSS, gparted livecd | 15:51 |
| bons | lal | 15:51 |
| bons | if your partition is not active you can just install it | 15:52 |
| RainRain | hmw: yip that worked thanks - when i tried it with regular right click it said something about not being able to copy a folder onto itself ... thanks though | 15:52 |
| headkase314 | eztop, I'm Ubuntu only on my only computer - I play some games, the id games that have native Linux clients - other than that most of my gaming is filled by my Xbox 360. Getting a 360 solved needing games on my computer for me. | 15:52 |
| bons | abstrakt? | 15:52 |
| abstrakt | bons, yes? | 15:52 |
| bons | i did u a question | 15:52 |
| eztop | headkase314: i see.. | 15:52 |
| lost_and_unfound | greetings, what is the best way to move or change the partition '/var' is located on? should i `ln -s /var /home/new-var-dir` ? | 15:52 |
| abstrakt | bons, i answered your question | 15:52 |
| sacarlson | adminewb: maybe look at this first https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkConnectionBridge | 15:52 |
| abstrakt | bons, openvpn | 15:52 |
| bons | no | 15:52 |
| bons | the second one | 15:52 |
| eztop | headkase314: i can't afford the extra Xbox console though ;( | 15:53 |
| adminewb | sacarlson: thanks much for the link | 15:53 |
| abstrakt | ah, no I am not calling from commandline | 15:53 |
| Aiya | How do I find out that which version of GRUB im using? | 15:53 |
| abstrakt | not right now, I don't know the syntax for that | 15:53 |
| abstrakt | I was trying to launch it from the Network Manager panel applet | 15:53 |
| bons | omfgf | 15:53 |
| eztop | Aiya: should display when at grub screen? | 15:53 |
| Aiya | eztop: how do i check it? | 15:53 |
| abstrakt | bons, where can I find the syntax for launching openvpn from the commandline? | 15:54 |
| bons | openvpn depends only from your .conf files and the certificates and key files you created | 15:54 |
| headkase314 | eztop, yup it is duplication of effort somewhat but for myself the ability to have only Ubuntu on my general purpose computer was a good trade - anyway we're getting off-topic, anything to respond with or just let it go for now? | 15:54 |
| eztop | Aiya: when your grub screen is coming up, doesn't it show the ver.? | 15:54 |
| lost_and_unfound | Aiya: grub --version | 15:54 |
| sacarlson | abstrakt: man openvpn | 15:54 |
| RainRain | on the desktop i have "keep aligned checked" but i still have to keep pressing "clean up by name" to actually keep them aligned - how do i get this to work or is it a bug or something | 15:54 |
| bons | abstrakt everything can be executed by cl... just type openvpn --help | 15:54 |
| eztop | headkase314: well, what topic do we want? :) | 15:54 |
| lost_and_unfound | greetings, what is the best way to move or change the partition '/var' is located on? should i `ln -s /var /home/new-var-dir` ? | 15:54 |
| Aiya | eztop: Its does but now im already in ubunutu and dont tell me to reboot.Im sure there is command for it | 15:54 |
| bons | it works also for all the rest | 15:54 |
| Aiya | lost_and_unfound: Thanks | 15:54 |
| abstrakt | bons, ok well I have a zip file that my sysadmin gave me with the certs and a conf file. I set up a connection in the VPN network manager and selected my certs, but I didn't see anywhere to specify my conf file | 15:54 |
| headkase314 | eztop, heheh - let's see who's day we can make better as the messages scroll by... ;) | 15:55 |
| bons | just | 15:55 |
| bons | run | 15:55 |
| eztop | Aiya: oh yeah, I forgot about that, sorry... haven't needed grub from CLI in a while ;) | 15:55 |
| bons | openvpn --config filename.conf | 15:55 |
| bons | asbstrakt | 15:55 |
| Pici | !who | bons | 15:55 |
| ubottu | bons: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 15:55 |
| RainRain | ooh - i just figured it - it IS keeping them aligned but the grid is so loose it;s useless - anyone know how to set the grid on the desktop | 15:55 |
| bons | ... | 15:56 |
| eztop | headkase314: yeah... well, since i am building a desktop, I was curious about video cards | 15:56 |
| bons | Pici | 15:56 |
| lost_and_unfound | what is the best way to move or change the partition '/var' is located on? should i `ln -s /var /home/new-var-dir` ? | 15:56 |
| bons | vati fa na zuppa | 15:56 |
| Micke_ | the wlan adapter shows up as *-DISABLED when I run "lshw -C network". I then ran "rfkill list" which returned "Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes". The issue seems to be with the hardware switch being unavailible in linux. | 15:56 |
| eztop | headkase314: easier to ask here than wait for responses in the forums ;) | 15:56 |
| Pici | bons: Excuse me? | 15:56 |
| datta | I have this error popping up whenever I try to install something Check if you are using third party repositories. If so disable them, since they are a common source of problems. | 15:56 |
| datta | Furthermore run the following command in a Terminal: apt-get install -f | 15:56 |
| bons | i wrote after | 15:56 |
| LucidGuy | Is there an easier way to auto encrypt home directory then this ..https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EncryptedHomeFolder Using Lucid. Lubuntu prompted on setup which was nice. | 15:56 |
| bons | just forgot it | 15:56 |
| sacarlson | lost_and_unfound: ya that sounds about right | 15:56 |
| headkase314 | eztop, I've been Ati for 10 years and really like them but I always hear people recommend nvidia for Linux. I've had no issues with Ati so I can relate that and have no experience with nvidia so you'll need another source for that information. | 15:57 |
| Aiya | When I wan to check the version of grub the result was : aiya@ubuntu:~$ grub --version | 15:57 |
| Aiya | The program 'grub' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: | 15:57 |
| Aiya | sudo apt-get install grub.I wonder how came i have dual boot without grub (windows 7 and ubuntu) | 15:57 |
| itmustbejj | bons: do you know where $HISTFILE variable is set? | 15:57 |
| eztop | headkase314: but, you have no tearing when watching videos? I read that xv output is not usable... | 15:57 |
| lap_dragon | ./join ##urbandictionary | 15:57 |
| lap_dragon | oops, disregard that | 15:57 |
| datta | I tried to run sudo apt-get install -f but I receive this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/478892/ | 15:57 |
| headkase314 | eztop, yes sometimes there is tearing but I do not find it bothersome. | 15:57 |
| bons | itmustbejj, i don't remember, i think if you read there you can do it | 15:58 |
| sacarlson | lost_and_unfound: I do get it reversed sometimes and my link goes to ? you can create links with nautilus | 15:58 |
| BluesKaj | Aiya, you have grub2 installed | 15:58 |
| eztop | headkase314: i'm looking at cards for around $100...so that allows some good older cards, 4870 used , even 4770 new and maybe one of the newer ones but a htpc card | 15:58 |
| SingAlong | how can I access the localserver on my computer from another computer (connected via the same router) | 15:58 |
| FlashDeluxe | shamez: didnt work :( i removed everything related to bluetooth an reinstalled bluez-utils and bluez-compat | 15:58 |
| ubuntu_ | #situbondo | 15:58 |
| Stale | adminewb: A router has the capabilities to connect clients on either wired/wireless methods. Of course, if you wanted to use the computer as a bridge, you can connect ethernet cables between that computer to client to client and so on. As for making the computer as a wifi router, I have not seen any technology that makes the wireless NIC as a router or the computer as a transmitter. | 15:58 |
| datta | any way to fix this issue with the error that is showing up here http://paste.ubuntu.com/478892/ | 15:58 |
| sacarlson | lost_and_unfound: after I create a link with nautilus I just cut an move the link where it's needed | 15:58 |
| lap_dragon | what is the file name for the manual? I know I downloaded it but I cannot find it | 15:58 |
| Aiya | BluesKaj: Are you sure.?But how came when I did the command its askes me to install first | 15:59 |
| headkase314 | eztop, speaking of htpc (Home Theatre Personal Computer) my computer right now is hooked up to my HDTV in the living room via HDMI. | 15:59 |
| bazhang | !manual | lap_dragon this? | 15:59 |
| BluesKaj | Aiya, try the comand as grub2 | 15:59 |
| ubottu | lap_dragon this?: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 15:59 |

| Aiya | aiya@ubuntu:~$ grub2 --version | 15:59 |

| eztop | headkase314: nice... well, i would watch movies on my computer for now... but, tearing is a big deal for me, though.. any major issues w/ video | 16:00 |
| adminewb | Stale, looks as if my answers are on the network bridging page, thanks | 16:00 |
| Guest14287 | life so good with ubuntu | 16:00 |
| Aiya | FloodBot2: Sorry | 16:00 |
| Stale | adminewb: your welcome. | 16:00 |
| abstrakt | ok much better, runnning openvpn from the command line actually gives me output :) | 16:00 |
| BluesKaj | Aiya, sudo update-grub | 16:00 |
| lost_and_unfound | sacarlson: thanks, will give it a go | 16:00 |
| bons | abstrakt, exctly | 16:00 |
| sacarlson | utkanos: burn a new cd? maybe check the cd see if it's corrupted | 16:00 |
| bons | thats the way | 16:00 |
| utkanos | sacarlson, CD works fine on other boxen | 16:00 |
| headkase314 | eztop, the ability to watch video directly on the tv with VLC was the primary reason I hooked it up to the HDTV. It works great. Of course I'm sure nvidia also has HDMI options so both ati and nvidia are still to be considered for you. | 16:01 |
| eztop | headkase314: I used mythtv before but now just watch on vlc videos i have | 16:01 |

| datta | abstrakt: only paste.ubuntu.com | 16:02 |
| eztop | headkase314: mythtv was a headache...but, this was a while ago...it might be a bit easier now ;) | 16:02 |
| headkase314 | eztop, yes and unlike nvidia it is integrated right on the graphics card and Ubuntu detects and uses it fine. | 16:02 |
| BluesKaj | Aiya, does grub show your windows partition ? | 16:02 |
| eztop | headkase314: I think ubuntu was at 8.10 or 9.04 when i used it | 16:02 |
| sacarlson | utkanos: not that I know. there might be a way to see more if you hold shift at boot and change kernel settings so you see the text as it boots to get a better idea what failed | 16:02 |
| datta | abstrakt: it is up on the description of the channel | 16:02 |

| sacarlson | utkanos: I asume it's a cd sector seek error but hard to say with no text to tell you | 16:03 |
| Aiya | bazhang: Thanks | 16:03 |
| lap_dragon | ok | 16:03 |
| Aiya | slacker_nl: man what is that? | 16:03 |
| slacker_nl | Aiya: you can google for it too :) man $command will give you plenty of results | 16:03 |
| utkanos | sacarlson, agreed.. I will try to burn another copy I guess.. or perhaps usb stick | 16:03 |
| lap_dragon | Are there many viruses that are compatible with the ubuntu os? | 16:03 |
| Aiya | slacker_nl: Thanks | 16:04 |
| eztop | headkase314: I'd like to get an ati card but if i get a used card, i can't send it back ;) | 16:04 |
| bazhang | lap_dragon, nope | 16:04 |
| sacarlson | utkanos: other posibility it is a graphic driver problem when it gets as far as xserver | 16:04 |
| headkase314 | eztop, I'm pretty sure with nvidia you have to pass through your audio from a separate card for the HDMI audio, with ati it is all built into the card - no other audio card needed. I may be wrong with nvidia not having integrated audio though - need some research there. | 16:04 |
| slacker_nl | Aiya: run man man, it will tell you :) | 16:04 |
| bazhang | !lnw > lap_dragon | 16:04 |
| ubottu | lap_dragon, please see my private message | 16:04 |
| BluesKaj | Aiya, then you are all set , you can scroll down to your windows install and boot it as well when needed | 16:04 |
| utkanos | sacarlson, doesnt even get to boot prompt though, it shows that strange graphic with what looks like a keyboard, an equals sign, and a stick figure | 16:04 |
| eztop | headkase314: oh, okay | 16:04 |
| sacarlson | utkanos: ya usb stick that's sounds like a good move if you have a 2gig usb? not sure how big you need | 16:04 |
| Aiya | BluesKaj: How do I set ubuntu as my primary(defult) os when its asking for options.Now is defult is windows 7 | 16:05 |
| headkase314 | eztop, by pass though I mean you just have the extra step of plugging your audio output from a separate card into the nvidia graphics card - once done you don't think about it anymore. But the big qualifier is do some research to confirm that. | 16:05 |

| abstrakt | i've also got some lines that say e.g. /sbin/route add -net 10.0.0.0 | 16:11 |
| headkase314 | eztop, the biggest thing you should look for in an LCD is the response time - 5 milliseconds or less is what you want. | 16:11 |
| abstrakt | and 192.168.0.0 and 172.16.0.1 | 16:11 |
| bons | abstrakt, you have a new network interface and can communicate with the other hosts of the same network depending how your sysad configured, you can check your virtual interface running the command ifconfig or ifconfig tap0 | 16:11 |
| abstrakt | am I going to need to know the IP address of the computers on the vpn? | 16:11 |
| eztop | headkase314: what brand is it? | 16:11 |
| sacarlson | bons: It took me 3 days to get my openvpn to work the way I wanted. there are so many combos of options | 16:11 |
| abstrakt | ahh, ok lemme ifconfig then, one sec | 16:11 |
| bons | abstrakt, yes | 16:11 |
| abstrakt | ok I have tun0 | 16:12 |
| bons | sacarlson, seems just the case of a basic conf | 16:12 |
| eztop | headkase314: I researched them way back.... i ended up buying a sharp lcd 32" but brought it back cuz of stuck pixels | 16:12 |
| abstrakt | which I assume stands for tunnel | 16:12 |
| abstrakt | and that's running on the 172.16 subnet | 16:12 |
| ilovefairuz | Aiya: you were asking earlier: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto | 16:12 |
| eztop | headkase314: that's when they were $1000 | 16:12 |
| headkase314 | It is a "Haier" brand. It wasn't a familiar brand for me so I purchased Wal-Marts 3 year electronics warrenty for $CAD 50.00 and did some googling on the brand after the fact and it turns or "Haier" has a good reputation. | 16:12 |
| eztop | headkase314: yes | 16:12 |
| headkase314 | eztop, my screen has zero defects. | 16:12 |
| sacarlson | bons: with me it was more than getting openvpn to work you need to setup the routeing around it the way you want the trafic to go | 16:13 |

| ilovefairuz | Aiya: bookmark the page and use it when needed | 16:14 |
| headkase314 | eztop, the single biggest consideration when hooking up a computer, like said, is the response time: 5 milliseconds (ms) or less. | 16:14 |
| ilovefairuz | NickAlternativo: what's your question ? | 16:14 |
| Aiya | ilovefairuz: How do I bookmark pdf?Is that possible? | 16:14 |
| eztop | headkase314: yes, 5ms response time is good... and i look whether the black screen is a rich black color because that seems to indicate (to me) how good the color might be | 16:14 |
| xtra_ | some can help me ? I'm new to Kubuntu and I'm trying to enable kwin zoom effect ( magnifier or somethin like that) and I've got it enable but it don't works | 16:14 |
| sacarlson | bons: you got it. just when I got it to ping the other side I thought I was done | 16:14 |
| bons | sacarlson, but thats not the point, you see, we go back to my theme, we should try to make things simple for simple beginners, not think about how complex it can be... this is just unuseful | 16:14 |
| bons | and? | 16:15 |
| eztop | headkase314: yes, my lcd monitor is 2ms, I think | 16:15 |
| headkase314 | eztop, I find my colors do seem richer on this tv compared to my monitor - not over saturated just richer. | 16:15 |

| datta | any idea how I can fix this? I have been dealing with this for a long time, please help | 16:41 |
| datta | please someone help me with broken packages | 16:42 |
| soreau | datta: Do you have any output from this? sudo grep ppa /etc/apt/sources.list | 16:42 |
| bacon | Please, when compiling occur while building a .deb files, the compiled files will be part of the .Deb package, right? | 16:42 |
| datta | soreau: I get this output: # deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jason-scheunemann/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main # disabled on upgrade to jaunty | 16:43 |

| bacon | (compilation due to debian/rules rules is used to build binary package, not source package, that's what i mean) | 16:43 |
| soreau | datta: So its an upgrade plus you still have some ppas enabled. I suggest a clean install as a sure fix | 16:44 |

| andrej | hi. can you help me please? how I can choose another desktop on my ubuntu with my keyboard? I have 2. thanks | 16:44 |
| soreau | ubuntu | 16:44 |
| datta | soreau: do I have to clean install ubuntu? there is no way other than that? | 16:44 |
| soreau | andrej: With compiz enabled, Ctrl+Alt+Right/Left arrows | 16:45 |
| andrej | soreau...thanks :) | 16:45 |
| soreau | datta: The other way is to fix your broken packages, which may be very simple or quite impossible depending on what all youve done to break it | 16:45 |
| sacarlson | datta: you can try comment out the ppa line and apt-get update and see if it install then | 16:45 |
| philinux | datta: usually reinstall last resort. I just joined channel what exactly are the symptoms errors etc. | 16:46 |
| soreau | datta: Yea the first thing would be to comment out that ppa, then run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade | 16:46 |
| soreau | datta: See if it succeeds and go from there | 16:46 |
| sacarlson | datta: no garantees just small glimmer of hope | 16:46 |
| datta | soreau: what do you actually mean by commenting out? | 16:47 |

| datta | sacarlson: okay I will try that | 16:47 |
| soreau | datta: Lines that start with # are ignored by the system and are called comments | 16:48 |
| philinux | datta or use admin>software sources and untick them | 16:48 |
| datta | phillinux: was doing that | 16:48 |

| soreau | but it wont remove any packages | 16:49 |
| Cluster_1 | is there a program similar to TVersity for ubuntu that I can stream media to my ps3 and xbox360? | 16:49 |
| datta | now the error seemed to have changed Package libcompizconfig-backend-gconf is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 16:50 |
| datta | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 16:50 |

| datta | sorry for the flood | 16:51 |
| soreau | datta: Look at the output of apt-cache policy compiz | 16:51 |
| soreau | datta: Its probably that you have old packages lying around from the upgrade | 16:51 |
| Cluster_1 | Would it be better to install WINE and try to run TVersity through that? | 16:51 |
| LibertyZero | !upnp | Cluster_1 | 16:52 |
| ubottu | Cluster_1: To stream media to other UPNP aware devices (such as the Xbox, PS3, or iRadio) you need a UPNP server. See !info mediatomb for information regarding the MediaTomb package | 16:52 |
| IdleOne | Cluster_1: check out mediatomb | 16:52 |
| datta | soreau: this the output I get from apt-cache policy compiz http://paste.ubuntu.com/478916/ | 16:52 |
| Cluster_1 | ok | 16:52 |
| sacarlson | Cluster_1: I guess it's just a podcaster | 16:53 |
| datta | to me it seems compiz is installed, which was my initial goal | 16:53 |
| bacon | can someone explain me quickly how the debian/rules file is processed? is it a make command summoned in the dpkg-buildpackage routine? | 16:53 |
| soreau | datta: Which version of ubuntu are you currently running? | 16:53 |

| blendmaster1024 | elitexray, install mplayer or vlc | 18:11 |
| erUSUL | arooni-mobile: disable the bell in terminal preferences | 18:11 |

| blendmaster1024 | what do you mean? | 18:11 |
| arooni-mobile | erUSUL, that works in terminal but not in other apps like xchat or firefox | 18:11 |
| BlueEagle | kn100: Well, given that you're running an emulator I would most likely blame it or more accurately the blitting in the original game. Ie. the coin is still there it is just painted over. However the screen recorder captures the screen without or before the covering tile is drawn. | 18:11 |
| elitexray | you can watch movies on firefox through xvid | 18:11 |
| banished | arooni-mobile: system->settings->audio, there you can set and disable the 'warning noise' | 18:11 |

| kn100 | BlueEagle, thats the thing | 18:12 |
| kn100 | when I'm playing the artifacts aren't there | 18:12 |
| kn100 | it's only when the video is encoded | 18:12 |
| arooni-mobile | banished, my sound theme is no sounds; alert volume is down to 0 and set to "Mute" | 18:12 |
| BlueEagle | kn100: If the coins are animated, does the animation complete in the video before the coin disappear? | 18:13 |
| kn100 | BlueEagle, it's not just the coins | 18:13 |
| kn100 | it happens to non-animated elements too | 18:13 |

| cesc_xubuntu | Hi there. I have a wireles usb adapter Alfa Network AWUS036H which works fine on my ubuntu 10.04 PC (It worked straight away without installing drivers), but on this machine with xubuntu it doesn't work. Yesterday I installed the Realtek drivers for chipset rtl8187L and after some problems compiling the source code I finally managed to install the driver successfully. But still doesn't work. Then I though I made a mistake because I reckon the chipset it | 18:32 |
| cesc_xubuntu | uses is rtl8187 without the final L. But I'm having problems compiling this driver, it gives me some errors and if someone could help me I would appreciate. | 18:32 |
| banished | cesc_xubuntu: is your xubuntu machine maybe using an older ubuntu release? | 18:33 |

| Azureum | With grub you can set it to install on mbr, which then points to stage 2 files elsewhere, can I install the stage files to a seperate drive than the one that stores the os's I have installed (on the first drive?) | 19:06 |
| capleton | banished, nevermind, i just tried taking out and reinserting the card!\ | 19:07 |

| headkase314 | cryptk, the only issue I know of is you may have kde mouse cursors in gnome. Other than that should be no issues. | 19:23 |

| maheanuu | I was thinking (know that that is a really big mistake) all the doo dads for Ubuntu Studio would be there upon installation, and now I am headed out to find gimp and some video editors/rippers for DVD s that I need to back up and also other fun things...

| ZykoticK9 | q_a_z_steve, just different interfaces to the same underling APT-mechanism really | 19:53 |

| elkclone | to unpack archived software. and do the make intalls | 19:54 |
| Malaika | banished, I couldn't acess the kernel. How can I do that, please? | 19:54 |
| q_a_z_steve | thought so. Why provide both then? | 19:54 |
| murlidhar | ePirat: try reinstalling it maybe. and this time install it by sudo aptitude install software-center | 19:54 |
| banished | Malaika: did you get to the grub menue? | 19:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | q_a_z_steve, synaptic is in many distros - Ubuntu Software Center is ubuntu specific | 19:55 |
| rooks | q_a_z_steve, synaptic lets you harm yourself if youre not careful, software center is more consumer oriented | 19:55 |
| Malaika | banished, yes | 19:55 |
| rooks | when i login my alsamixer always shows speakers to 0, even tho i manually set it to 100, and then issue sudo alsactl store, it still sets to 0 on my next login, its on msiwind u100, any idea whats going on? | 19:55 |
| banished | Malaika: end did you select the first entry with e | 19:55 |
| maheanuu | I have found that the software center doesn't always have all the bits and pieces required in an install available, and synaptic tells me what all I am going to need | 19:55 |

| gridbag | How do i disable the .Trash-1000 folder in File Explorer? | 19:57 |
| cryptk | I am planning to isntall the -all package, but that breaks dependencies for ubuntu-desktop | 19:57 |
| cryptk | should ubuntu-desktop depend on libsdl1.2-pulseaudio OR libsdl1.2debian-all? | 19:58 |

| murlidhar | sorry | 19:59 |
| headkase314 | gridbag, in Nautilus' preference you can enable a right-click-menu Delete command that bypasses Trash. | 19:59 |
| banished | Malaika: you should be able to select an entry with e, then you get to a edit window where you go to the line that begins with linux, press the end button to get to the end of the line ad append i915.modeset=0, after that boot by pressing ctrl+x and see what happens ;-p | 19:59 |

| banished | asanir22: so you are using the server cd` | 20:11 |
| Jinxed- | banished, should i restart and see if it is able to see the ssd's now? | 20:11 |

| stinger05 | elkclone: why not provide a package for each version distribution? wouldnt that be a good idea? :) | 20:39 |
| elkclone | stinger05: hard to keep up | 20:39 |
| nalyd_relwof | dandee: I am having similar issues, I have a Dell Dimension E521 which is doing about the same thing. | 20:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | dandee, hold shift on boot and see if an older kernel is available, see if it works, if there is one. | 20:39 |
| elkclone | open source constantly changes and evolves. | 20:39 |
| bandar_ | banished : i just download guvcview | 20:40 |
| nanotube | hey, how do i find out which agp mode is being used by the video card? | 20:40 |
| * elkclone rushes off to get the latest wikileak. | 20:40 | |
| mneptok | stinger05: gstreamer-plugins-bad and gstreamer-plugins-ugly | 20:40 |
| nalyd_relwof | Does any one know if Radeontool is required for the Radeon X1350 Pro?, it says it is for laptops and I think removing it could help. | 20:41 |
| nanotube | nvm, i grepped the xorg.0.log ;) | 20:41 |
| stinger05 | mneptop: what packages are those for? | 20:41 |
| mneptok | stinger05: these will not include Flash playback, however. it's better to get the machine online and install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 20:41 |
| mneptok | stinger05: those *are* packages | 20:42 |
| dandee | ZykoticK9: i held down shift, it said loading grub, and then still booted to the blank screen | 20:42 |
| jordi_margalef1 | For a few hours, my DVD drive hasn't recognized any CD's or DVD's when I put them in | 20:42 |
| Jinxed- | Anyone know how to get an SSD to work with ubuntu... mine aren't showing up as I try to install | 20:43 |
| Jordan_U | dandee: nalyd_relwof: Could you run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the output? | 20:43 |
| dandee | ZykoticK9: i would love too, but i cant even get a command line. | 20:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | dandee, i'm affraid I don't know what to suggest. Do you have a LiveCD you could try booting? (from there you could chroot into your HD install, see !grub2 factoid for those directions) - but I really don't know why you're getting a "blank screen" right now, or have any suggestions :( | 20:44 |

| stinger05 | does ubuntu 10.04 come with its' firewall enabled by default ? | 20:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | stinger05, no | 20:46 |
| headkase314 | !ufw | stinger05 | 20:46 |
| ubottu | stinger05: 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. | 20:46 |

| bandar | gateway i guess | 20:51 |
| winterweaver | xangua, the big problem being that the PPA overwrote libgtk with it's own version.... I want to revert that back to the ubuntu default | 20:51 |
| x23r | Hello! | 20:51 |
| xangua | winterweaverdo you have ppa-purge in your system¿¿ | 20:51 |
| headkase314 | winterweaver, you use ppa-purge - give me a minute to get some links | 20:52 |
| winterweaver | headkase314, xangua: ah ok didn't know that will solve my issue. thx I found it in launchpad | 20:52 |

| headkase314 | winterweaver, download ppa-purge by itself as a .deb package and install - don't add a random repository for it because you may pull in all sorts of stuff. Link to just the .deb file is in the previous link. | 20:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | dandee, i'd agree. what version of ubuntu are you using? | 20:55 |
| headkase314 | winterweaver, also the given link has instructions. | 20:55 |

| headkase314 | winterweaver, you're welcome! | 20:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | dandee, perhaps dkms failed to build your graphics card kernel driver or something. What graphics card are you using? | 20:56 |
| dandee | poulbos | 20:56 |
| dandee | ZykoticK9: poulbos | 20:57 |
| dandee | ZykoticK9: anyway to just take it back to stock? | 20:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | dandee, is that a type/make of graphics card? "lspci | grep -i vga" | 20:57 |
| Slart | Jinxed-: well.. try connecting the drives, one by one, to a proper sata port and see if the BIOS picks them up.. if that works then you might want to focus on the multiplier.. if that still doesn't work you might need to see if the drives might be damaged | 20:58 |

| dandee | ZykoticK9 is there anyway i can tell it to rebuild the default xconf file so i can get graphics back? | 20:59 |

| dandee | ZykoticK9 yeah | 21:03 |

| q_a_z_steve | hiku: Really? I have a web link for a simple.conf, but not sure if it's up yet. | 21:03 |
| dandee | ZykoticK9 it says warning cannot open display | 21:03 |
| ZykoticK9 | dandee, "ls /etc/X11" do you see xorg.conf | 21:03 |

| ZykoticK9 | dandee, "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.orig" | 21:04 |
| hiku | q_a_z_steve: yea, I used that same config with eggdrop -m my.conf | 21:04 |
| q_a_z_steve | headkase314: k, cool, just trying to grab some quick possibilites... Where do conf files usually go? I have /usr/share/eggdrop | 21:04 |
| headkase314 | q_a_z_steve, i think it really depends on the program using the config file - different per program? | 21:04 |

| raubvogel | Is there support for the RTL8188S usb wireless thingie in 10.04? | 21:05 |
| q_a_z_steve | hiku: so you just created /home/user/my.conf ? | 21:05 |
| Slart | Jinxed-: see if it shows up when you boot.. you might need to disable any of those pretty boot up screens some BIOS's have though | 21:05 |
| hiku | q_a_z_steve: yea, then run eggdrop -m /home/user/my.conf | 21:05 |
| q_a_z_steve | right | 21:06 |
| headkase314 | q_a_z_steve, as in: some programs may store your configuration within hidden files and folders in /home while others may be in a system-wide folder - depends on program? | 21:06 |
| hiku | headkase314: yea I thought the same thing, but after an eggdrop install, there are no hidden dirs or files for eggdrop | 21:06 |
| q_a_z_steve | headkase314: The install page I'm using mentions system-wide, that you can at least start from. | 21:07 |
| headkase314 | hiku, the only eggs I'm familiar with are Python .egg files, and you use easy_install from Python setuptools for them. | 21:07 |

| headkase314 | winterweaver, I know you can figure it out from System > Administration > Software Sources, and under the "Other Software" find the line for it. I don't know how to convert that line to what ppa-purge accepts BUT once you find the line do a search on Launchpad to find that ppa - the text will be similar enough - and then get the exact ppa-line for ppa-purge there. That's what I do! | 21:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | yashi-, so at least you know it's a firefox issue and can perhaps narrow your search | 21:12 |

| Dwade09 | Rienzilla, there should be a setting to untick that says something like, do not connect to this wifi automatically. | 21:21 |
| Dwade09 | Rienzilla, it should be under your network or under the wifi settings. | 21:22 |

| ZykoticK9 | Jordan_U, escaping inside double quotes looks funny though | 21:23 |
| headkase314 | Rienzilla, I'm not an expert but in the upper-right corner is the network manager: I think what you need is in there so when you are advertising your issue say that too? | 21:23 |
| Rienzilla | i was talking about networkmanager yes | 21:24 |
| Dwade09 | Rienzilla, im not in ubuntu im in windows but whne i did run it, it was there when i did run it. | 21:24 |
| definebyte | how do i get frame handling working in elinks? every time i enable it (vt100 or linux) i get garbage around the screen. Anyone here use elinks successfully? | 21:24 |
| Rienzilla | and there is a new connection type in its dropdown as soon as the connection to the phone is made, but the connection itself cannot be configured, just turned off or on | 21:24 |
| tsafe | Hi | 21:24 |
| tsafe | One question | 21:25 |
| Dwade09 | Rienzilla, then why not just turn it off when you leave the computer? | 21:25 |
| tsafe | How do I get Internet on ubuntu (wireless) | 21:25 |
| yashi- | tsafe: whats the problem? | 21:25 |
| Rienzilla | the point is that it enables itself automatically when I turn it on | 21:25 |
| Jordan_U | ZykoticK9: Just look at it as two single quoted strings, 'echo "it' and 's a bar!"' , with an escaped single quote in between them. | 21:26 |
| Rienzilla | and I want to prevent for example that ubuntu is going to download 50 megs of updates when I';m abroad or something like that | 21:26 |
| Jinxed- | How do i tell in my bios if it sees my ssd's connected with http://www.addonics.com/products/host_controller/ad5sapm.asp | 21:26 |
| headkase314 | Dwade09, and it's expensive. | 21:26 |
| yashi- | tsafe: type iwconfig in a terminal | 21:26 |
| headkase314 | !who | Rienzilla | 21:26 |
| ubottu | Rienzilla: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 21:26 |
| Dwade09 | Rienzilla, ah ok, and headkase314 yeah i know, | 21:26 |
| q_a_z_steve | hiku: what did you do for "user file"? | 21:26 |
| shsek | what would cause 'sudo -u svn id' to show different groups than running 'id' from another place (SVN hook)? when I run it manually, I get 'uid=107(svn) gid=117(svn) groups=33(www-data),117(svn),118(trac)', but from the hook I get 'uid=107(svn) gid=117(svn) groups=33(www-data),117(svn)' - notice the missing 'trac' group. What could cause that ? | 21:27 |
| hiku | q_a_z_steve: the -m creates that and runs the bot. the nextime you run the eggbot you don't need to use the -m option | 21:27 |
| q_a_z_steve | well so just leave those lines alone, as they are in simple.conf? | 21:27 |
| hiku | q_a_z_steve: yeah | 21:27 |
| q_a_z_steve | kk | 21:28 |
| hiku | q_a_z_steve: thats what I did anyway | 21:28 |
| Dwade09 | im sorry Rienzilla , im not running ubuntu anymore and i do not have a live cd or vbox with it, or i would try to help you more. | 21:28 |
| Rienzilla | Dwade09: no problem, thanks | 21:28 |

| TMM | hi all! I have a question: The fonts in all my GTK applications look great, but in Firefox it seems to use less hinting. I compared by changing the font hinting style in xfce to 'Slight' and that is exactly the same as I see firefox do, but it seems unaffected by the settings in XFCE. I want the fonts in all the apps to be hinted 'medium' 'Slight' is blurry as hell :) | 21:32 |
| Jinxed- | CAN gparted see an unpartioned ssd? | 21:32 |
| definebyte | elinks, frame handling. dosn't work. any ideas? | 21:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | riis, i sent you the message, it's not as good as the old services GUI but it's an alternative-of-sorts. The "real" way is just to use command line management at the moment. | 21:33 |

| definebyte | ok, i'll try the elinks channel :) | 21:34 |
| yashi- | tsafe: well ubuntu detects your wireless card so its just an easy software issue. youve got 2choices one 1.networkmanager(upperright corner on your desktop) 2. via wpasupplicant.conf | 21:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | riis, that's for init stuff yes - which Upstart should be backwards compatible with i believe. but i've had to rename scripts in init (not init.d) to disable stuff? hopefully you'll learn better method ;) | 21:35 |

| banished | Jinxed-: are you shure the port multiplier is working at all with them? Do they show up somewhere else? (Bios, windows)? - why not just using the sata ports on your mainboard | 21:37 |
| shade34321 | I just want to partition it so basically it has a separate home parition so if i do a clean install of ubuntu later i don't lose all of my data | 21:37 |
| shade34321 | mainly trying to make sure i give enough space to the ubuntu install | 21:37 |
| Jinxed- | banished, well im using pc 104 form factor so im guessing there weren't sata ports avaialble? | 21:38 |
| banished | Jinxed-: it came with the port multiplier? | 21:38 |

| === heinrich_ is now known as Shurakai | ||
| shade34321 | yeah. | 21:39 |
| rafeisdamanfosho | why not just back it up when you do a clean install? | 21:39 |
| shade34321 | i installed ubuntu a while back and had a friend help me with it and he told me it was smarter to install it with ubuntu on one partition and then have the home folder on another... | 21:40 |
| rafeisdamanfosho | i don't see why that would make any sense | 21:40 |

| VCoolio | AndyGraybeal: as in, create a launcher for it? or what do you mean? | 21:42 |
| banished | Jinxed-: try connect the SSDs directly to the mainboard, will save you a lot of trouble | 21:42 |
| rafeisdamanfosho | shade34321: if i were you i'd just install it normally. otherwise to access your files you'd have to go to a mounted drive any time | 21:42 |
| shade34321 | rafeisdamanfosho it's just something i was told...he gave me a reason ive just forgotten it | 21:42 |
| rafeisdamanfosho | shade34321:if you want to do that you can just install it normally | 21:43 |
| shade34321 | ok...thanks | 21:43 |
| rafeisdamanfosho | shade34321: and then after that use gparted to make a partition out of your ubuntu partition for the home folder | 21:43 |
| VCoolio | rafeisdamanfosho: if you have /home on a different partition it's just automatically mounted, nothing fancy; and if the system gets screwed you don't need the livecd to recover your files | 21:43 |
| opij | I was wondering, if I do a completely new install of Lubuntu and then use programs such as mplayer, Dolphin, Firefox, Azureus and Thunderbird, will I be defeating the purpose? | 21:43 |
| headkase314 | shade34321, having /home on it's own partition means you can clean re-install / without losing the contents in /home. However you must be certain the new install does not format /home when you do it. | 21:43 |
| rafeisdamanfosho | shade34321: okay i see, never heard of that before but thanks. if it's automatically mounted then you should do that | 21:44 |
| rafeisdamanfosho | shade34321: just use gparted after you install to make a new partition | 21:44 |
| VCoolio | opij: with dolphin, yes, a little, it will take qt and more kde libraries with it | 21:44 |
| shade34321 | VCoolio that's what my friend told me at that time....anything particular i need to make sure that's what happens | 21:44 |
| slow-motion | n8 | 21:45 |
| VCoolio | shade34321: no, just do the partitioning right while (clean) installing | 21:45 |
| opij | VCoolio, would it be less memory intensive to use nautilus? | 21:45 |
| rafeisdamanfosho | shade34321: yeah just be careful how you set things up initially | 21:45 |
| VCoolio | opij: NO, use pcmanfm or, in my opinion better, thunar | 21:45 |
| opij | VCoolio, i really would like something with previews | 21:46 |

| shade34321 | ok...thanks banished | 21:59 |
| headkase314 | shade34321, if you decide to make a /boot partition then choose ext4 as the file-system - don't choose btrfs or something weird like that. The /boot filesystem must be in the kernel not loaded as a module and ext4 is in the kernel. | 21:59 |

| Dr_Willis | j_dalmond: becuse elightnemt is a work in progress and lacking polish. | 22:58 |
| tomatto_ | please, has ubuntu ftp client in gui? | 22:59 |
| banished | Starmage: buildroot produces a portable gcc version, but there is a hen and egg problem… | 22:59 |
| Dr_Willis | yashi-: server name is Gits1 ? or share name is gits1 | 22:59 |
| frank | I'm trying to get a driver for a webcam on a thinkpad z61t, any suggestions ? | 22:59 |
| Dr_Willis | tomatto_: the default file manger can do FTP | 22:59 |
| yashi- | Dr_Willis: server 127.0.0.1 folder gits1 | 22:59 |
| tomatto_ | Dr_Willis: how? | 22:59 |
| j_dalmond | Dr_Willis: thanks a lot. is there a way to fix it? | 22:59 |
| Dr_Willis | yashi-: so smb://127.0.0.1/gits1 works? try your actual ip, not 127.0.0.1 | 22:59 |
| Dr_Willis | tomatto_: places -> connect to server... is one way. | 23:00 |
| VCoolio | j_dalmond: ask in #e | 23:00 |
| yashi- | Dr_Willis: cant mount it: Failed to mount Windows share | 23:00 |
| tomatto_ | Dr_Willis: can it remember connection? | 23:01 |
| j_dalmond | Vcoolio, the problem is the #e says "cannot send to channel". *shoked* | 23:01 |
| Dr_Willis | tomatto_: Try it.. notice it has 'bookmarks' option... | 23:01 |
| j_dalmond | :-)/ | 23:01 |
| insulina_ | hello, I am trying to compile assimp project but I get this undefined reference to `gluPerspective' , I have glut mesa installed so I dont know why I get this error | 23:01 |
| VCoolio | j_dalmond: are you registered on freenode? | 23:01 |
| VCoolio | j_dalmond: #e is active right now, i'm in it | 23:02 |
| headkase314 | insulina_, do you have the needed -dev packages installed? | 23:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Starmage: in theory. IF you found a .deb of your irc client (bx, or weechat,) you could perhaps exctract the binaries to your home dir and run them from there. | 23:03 |
| j_dalmond | Vcoolio, mmm... apperently not reg'ed ))). I though there's no need for registration | 23:03 |
| j_dalmond | thought' | 23:03 |
| j_dalmond | * | 23:03 |
| Starmage | IF i found | 23:03 |
| tomatto_ | Dr_Willis: ok.thx for now | 23:03 |
| VCoolio | j_dalmond: some channels require that, apparantly #e does too | 23:03 |
| Starmage | thats not the case i guess | 23:03 |
| Dr_Willis | Starmage: for weechat and irssi - that would be easy.. for BX.. no idea.. I dont use or reccomend BX. | 23:04 |
| Starmage | btw... help Dr_willis and banished | 23:04 |
| Simeon_H | well that was a waste of $50 | 23:04 |
| insulina_ | headkase314: I think I do, it just says glut ... | 23:04 |
| kikela | Hi, rhythmbox failed to download a lot of podcast (lucid lynx x64) an idea ? | 23:04 |
| === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk | ||
| j_dalmond | Vcoolio, thx so much, i'll try it now :-) | 23:04 |
| mikelifeguard | How can I change the passphrase on my GnuPG and SSH keys from the command line? | 23:04 |
| Simeon_H | powerdvd linux doesn't work with ubuntu lucid :( | 23:04 |
| VCoolio | j_dalmond: workaround would be right click icon top left in title bar, hit 'create icon' and edit as you wish, but it shouldn't be too much apps without icons | 23:05 |
| headkase314 | insulina_, if the package is called "glut" then you need to install another package called "glut-dev" to go along with it for compiling. Beyond this tip there is not much help I can offer. | 23:05 |
| Starmage | i meant "thanx for the help" Dr_Willis and banished | 23:05 |
| VCoolio | j_dalmond: that creates .desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications with icon indications | 23:05 |
| piju | ubuntu for ham radio | 23:06 |
| j_dalmond | Vcoolio, well, more than half of apps r without. | 23:06 |
| Dr_Willis | piju: there are ham radio apps in the repos i belive. | 23:06 |
| piju | Dr_Willis, | 23:06 |
| piju | Dr_Willis, yes | 23:06 |
| piju | Dr_Willis, there is a channel for Ubuntu-hams too | 23:06 |

| j_dalmond | Vcoolio, thx again. i'll see if i'm not so stupid to do that )) | 23:07 |
| baxterton | when I try to run my driver discs ubuntu can't find the autorun.exe, any ideas why? | 23:09 |
| Dr_Willis | baxterton: you dont use windows drivers in Linux normally./ | 23:09 |
| banished | baxterton: obviously because it's not windows | 23:09 |
| Dr_Willis | baxterton: what are you trying to install exactly? | 23:09 |
| Dr_Willis | baxterton: theres no need to MSG me.. keep it in the chnanne; | 23:10 |
| puff | I fired up update manager, did check, then install all. It appears to have hung while "unpacking replacement base-files". Is there anything I should try before killing the process? | 23:10 |
| Dr_Willis | baxterton: #1 thing to rember linux is not windows... | 23:10 |
| Dr_Willis | baxterton: what Is your video card? and have you tried the system -> admin -> hardre drivers tool yet? | 23:11 |
| baxterton | my mobo came with a disk with all the drivers on it | 23:11 |
| Dr_Willis | baxterton: and are you SURE they are linux drivers? they may be out of date if they are. and may allready be included in the repos.. | 23:12 |
| puff | Ah well, kill it is, then. | 23:12 |
| baxterton | I just put it in and double clicked the icon when it came up on the desktop | 23:12 |
| banished | baxterton: your ubuntu came with a linux with probably all drivers in it ;-) | 23:12 |
| baxterton | I'm a new user so I don't really have any idea how to use ubuntu | 23:12 |
| Gazi11i0n | any laptop recommendation fully supported with ubuntu ?? | 23:12 |
| Dr_Willis | baxterton: start with the video card.. what IS your video card/chipset? | 23:12 |
| Dr_Willis | !manual | baxterton | 23:12 |
| puff | So much for update manager being safer/more reliable than apt :-). | 23:12 |
| Dr_Willis | baxterton: bookmark that ubuntu manual page.. and read it sometime tolearn the basics. | 23:13 |
| baxterton | it's a sapphire radeon hd5670 | 23:13 |
| yashi- | Dr_Willis: ok i made a discovery...it looks like i can mount some folders and some not :/ i checked the write/read rights | 23:13 |
| banished | baxterton: just use the hardware driver tool, it will care about that | 23:13 |
| aeon-ltd | Gazi11i0n: eee pc? i don't think there is a notebook perfectly supported due to acpi issues | 23:13 |
| Dr_Willis | baxterton: and you have gone to 'System -> administartion -> hardware drivers' yet? | 23:13 |
| baxterton | no | 23:13 |
| baxterton | not yet | 23:13 |
| Dr_Willis | yashi-: yep - you have to watch out for the permissions/ownership of the directories. | 23:14 |
| VCoolio | puff: it's also much slower; go apt-get upgrade next time; go cli | 23:14 |
| puff | Hm, killed update manager and ran it again, it said it couldn't upgrade all files, but offered me a partial upgrade. | 23:14 |
| reff67 | dell inspiron mini10 netbook here everything works | 23:14 |
| baxterton | so if I use that it will take care of all my hardware's drivers? | 23:14 |
| banished | aeon-ltd: I'd highly doubt that, most notebooks work well | 23:14 |
| baxterton | and update them all to the most recent versions? | 23:14 |
| tobe | does anyone know how to install a .bin file? | 23:14 |
| Dr_Willis | baxterton: thats the TOOL to use for most 'fancy' drivers. | 23:14 |
| puff | I selected partial and it said it couldn't get a lock. I'm guessing the lock-file is still lying around from the old upgrade manager. Where is that, can can I just remove it? | 23:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | puff, don't do "partial" upgrades. it will break things. | 23:14 |
| banished | baxterton: yes, that's the idea | 23:14 |
| Dr_Willis | tobe: chmod +x foo.bin, sudo ./foo.bin | 23:14 |
| puff | ZykoticK9: Good point. | 23:15 |
| aeon-ltd | banished: well but not 'fully supported' | 23:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | puff, use "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" from cli instead | 23:15 |
| Dr_Willis | tobe: Depends on what the .bin is also.... | 23:15 |
| baxterton | is there a utility to update my bios too? | 23:15 |
| Dr_Willis | tobe: .bins are best avoided. | 23:15 |
| puff | ZykoticK9: Where does the lock file live? | 23:15 |
| Dr_Willis | baxterton: that would be MB specific. | 23:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | puff, partital upgrade = the only time i use aptitude | 23:15 |
| yashi- | Dr_Willis: well the home folder is an old one.. its on a seperate partition and i used it with other distributions before :/ | 23:15 |
| baxterton | ok | 23:15 |
| baxterton | I have the window open | 23:15 |
| tobe | Dr_willis: its a point of sale program form sourceforge... | 23:15 |
| Dr_Willis | yashi-: check its ownsdership/permissions and compare to ones taht work. | 23:15 |
| baxterton | it shows my graphics card drivers | 23:16 |
| puff | ZykoticK9: Do you know where the apt/upgrade manager lock file is? | 23:16 |
| banished | baxterton: well, there is indeed one, but I think you better use the update cd of your board manufacturer, maybe it can even do it from usb by now | 23:16 |
| baxterton | running and in use | 23:16 |
| Dr_Willis | tobe: thats weird they distribute it as a .bin | 23:16 |
| baxterton | how do I run the disk though? | 23:16 |
| Dr_Willis | baxterton: so your video card should be working fine.. | 23:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | puff, not really - could you reboot? if one locked up? | 23:16 |
| baxterton | that's what I've been trying to do | 23:16 |
| Dr_Willis | baxterton: run the disk.. short answer.. YOU DONT. | 23:16 |
| puff | ZykoticK9: I could reboot, I guess, would that clean up the lock file? | 23:16 |
| Dr_Willis | baxterton: if you were installing a windows game.. that would be a different thing.. drivers for your MB.. you dont want to use whats on the disk | 23:16 |
| tobe | Dr_WIllis: yea well they did and im stuck... so you say chmod +x <filename> | 23:16 |
| andain | go to gentoo | 23:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | puff, i believe so | 23:17 |
| baxterton | I see | 23:17 |
| Dr_Willis | !permissions | tobe | 23:17 |
| ubottu | tobe: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 23:17 |
| baxterton | but | 23:17 |
| baxterton | how do I run a disk, period? | 23:17 |
| baxterton | when I double click the icon it doesn't auto run, just opens the file browser | 23:17 |
| Dr_Willis | baxterton: I insert the game cd... then in a terminal. 'wine /media/CDROM/setup.exe' or whatever its cammed | 23:17 |
| Dome | Hi | 23:18 |
| baxterton | ok | 23:18 |
| Dr_Willis | baxterton: you run the 'installer' on the cd.. or whatever programs are on the cd. | 23:18 |
| VCoolio | puff: try /var/cache/apt, also man apt-get to check the fix command I forgot, doesn't always work though | 23:18 |
| Dome | Can i get wireless internet by using live cd | 23:18 |
| baxterton | got it | 23:18 |
| Dr_Willis | autorun is a blight. :) | 23:18 |
| banished | well, if you have wine installed you don't really need to use the terminal, you can just select 'run with wine' in the context menue | 23:18 |
| banished | Dome: sure | 23:18 |
| puff | Oh great. | 23:18 |
| puff | My mom is ego-surfing me now. | 23:18 |
| Dr_Willis | banished: except that may not work on a cd.. it wanted the .exe to actually be 'executable' last i tried that.. and you may not be able to do that on a cd. | 23:19 |
| puff | And telling me about the cool stuff she's finding with my name on it :-). | 23:19 |
| puff | Let's hope she doesn't find some old usenet posts... | 23:19 |
| puff | VCoolio: Okay, will try that and check back here later with results. | 23:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | banished, you might run into an issue with executable permission if you try running the executable directly from the cd - the terminal doesn't have the issue | 23:19 |
| puff | VCoolio, ZykoticK9: thanks. | 23:19 |
| Dome | ok | 23:19 |
| Dome | i cannot select enable wireless, why? | 23:20 |
| Dr_Willis | ZykoticK9: hopefulkly they fix that odditiy in the next release. | 23:20 |
| yashi- | Dr_Willis: i copied the gits1 folder into another folder and shared that one...no i can access the parentfolder network and the gits1 folder itself ...crazy | 23:20 |
| === McPeter_ is now known as McPeter | ||
| ZykoticK9 | Dr_Willis, it's an upstream nautilus file/permission issue... not sure of details but believe it's a "won't fix" situation | 23:20 |
| Dr_Willis | yashi-: the permissions of the parants also have to allow shareing.. | 23:20 |
| yashi- | Dr_Willis: i guess it was a rights problem after all. thanks for your help :) | 23:21 |
| Dr_Willis | ZykoticK9: if you say so.. ive never really looked into it much. | 23:21 |
| Dome | i cannot select enable wireless, why? | 23:21 |
| nimbiotics | Using ubuntu 10.04, I'm trying to share a NTFS partition which I created using "Samba Server Configuration Tool", allowing "Everyone" to see and write to this share. When I go to Places->Network and click on "Windows Network" I get error message "Unable to mount location. Failed to retreive share list from server." Of course,neither can a Windows 7 PC see the share nor the ubunto machine.... | 23:21 |
| tobe | Dr_Willis: it just says that their is no such file. the install instructions tell me to download a .bin installer .... where would i get one..? | 23:21 |
| nimbiotics | ...What can I do? TIA! | 23:21 |
| andain | use nfs server | 23:22 |
| banished | Dome: which wireless card are you using? | 23:22 |
| C_Okie | hi | 23:22 |
| Dr_Willis | tobe: no idea. its their directions... if you have a .bin file in your dir you downloaded .. you need to run it.. | 23:22 |
| yashi- | tobe: cant you execute the binfile itself? | 23:23 |
| Dr_Willis | tobe: be sure to use ./whatever.bin and get the CaSE CoRReCt/ | 23:23 |
| Dr_Willis | tobe: inux command line hates typos. :) also try the TAB key to complete filenames. be sure you are in the right directroy also | 23:23 |
| Dome | broadcom STA wireless driver | 23:23 |
| C_Okie | Does Ubuntu let to explore the innings of a computer more, like other open source linux dist... or does the ease of ubuntu make much of the ability to edit stuff be negated? | 23:23 |
| KikkyMonk | How do I delete a file named "x5 ÿ"Îáx+?sC{éU*?«.txt" (don't ask how it got there) | 23:23 |
| Dome | on live cd | 23:24 |
| yashi- | C_Okie: it lets you look deeper than you want to :P | 23:24 |
| banished | C_Okie: you sure can do anything you could do with any other linux distribution | 23:24 |
| Dr_Willis | KikkyMonk: rm -- "x5 ÿ"Î?áx+?sC{éU*?«.txt" perhaps | 23:24 |
| C_Okie | Even the Wubi version | 23:24 |
| Dr_Willis | KikkyMonk: rm -- x5<TABKEY> perhaps | 23:24 |
| c3l | C_Okie: its debian based, so its as open as debian, onyl difference is basically the set of packages its shipped with and the repos, and the community ofc | 23:24 |
| banished | Dome: have you also tried the other one? what is dmesg saying? | 23:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | C_Okie, WUBI is great for "testing", but if you want a better experience I'd suggest dual-booting. | 23:25 |
| tobe | Dr_Willis: yes im in the right dir... now it doesnt say anything it just moves to a blank command line no error message does that mean i did it right? | 23:25 |
| Dr_Willis | C_Okie: its all linux underneeth you can dive under the hood and break stuff if you want. :) | 23:25 |
| Dr_Willis | tobe: commands in linux normally dont print anyt hing if they succede | 23:25 |
| yashi- | ^^ | 23:25 |
| C_Okie | Dual bootings not that much mor difficult anywa correct | 23:25 |
| Dr_Willis | tobe: so you did a './whatever.sh' and it just returns? | 23:25 |
| tobe | Dr_Willis: ok thnx now im one step closer | 23:26 |
| yashi- | C_Okie: install windows first than ubuntu | 23:26 |
| C_Okie | *more anyway | 23:26 |
| Dr_Willis | C_Okie: i find it trivial to do. :) | 23:26 |
| tobe | Dr_Willis: yes it just returns | 23:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | C_Okie, dual booting "should" be very smooth with the installer. | 23:26 |
| seyman | Hi, is there a way to make execution bit on for newly created files? | 23:26 |

| Dr_Willis | nimbiotics: or i edit my smb.conf and add the share by hand. a read of the 'using samba book' in the samba-doc package is handy :) | 23:37 |
| mattt_ | Shouldn't installing libapache2-mod-php5, php5, and php5-common automatically modify my apache configuration to load the php5 module and associate content types with the appropriate extensions?

| Dr_Willis | I can do the basics of samba stuff.. but these gui tools often just add another lauyer of confusion. :) | 23:40 |
| hullo | if uname -a shows i am running i686 do i need amd64 packages or i386 packages? | 23:40 |
| C_Okie | I set the boot order to the cd drive as the first but yet I have to hit a key to confirm I want to boot | 23:40 |
| Dr_Willis | hullo: x86_64 is '64bit' you are the 386/32bit | 23:40 |
| Aemaeth | in soviet OS key confirms YOU | 23:40 |
| C_Okie | Why would I set the order if I didnt want to boot to a disk ( besides the fact you might not want to ) | 23:41 |
| Dr_Willis | C_Okie: why ask why... | 23:41 |
| hullo | so i386 packages are what I need? thank you | 23:41 |
| Dr_Willis | hullo: for a 32bit OS - yes.. | 23:42 |
| nimbiotics | Dr_Willis: i did delete the share thru the samba admin tool, same thing ... Now ... why is it that whn I click on Places->Network->Windows Network; I get error message "Unable to mount location. Failed to retrieve share list from server"? | 23:42 |
| jevidl | so, I rebooted my computer to enable AHCI mode. My RAID array is no longer coming up. Both discs are still recognized, but it doesn't want to recognize the /dev/md1 (the array designation). Any suggestions on where to start? | 23:42 |
| Aemaeth | when i'm having problems with file transfer i dump the folder in /var/www/ and let apache do the thinking | 23:43 |
| tupi | Yesterday i had a suddenly power shutdown at my house and when i select the ubuntu at grub all i get is that animation of ubuntu lucid lynx that means the system is being loaded, but then nothin happens, the animation just never end. Anybody knows what to do? | 23:43 |
| Dome | um | 23:43 |
| Dome | im not using the ubuntu | 23:43 |
| banished | jevidl: well, if you switched from Raid to ahci mode, no wonder your raid is no longer comming up - raid mode is just as fine as ahci | 23:43 |
| mrgenixus | my grub configuration isn't automatcially updating when I instlal a new kernel via update-manager | 23:44 |
| KenBW2 | C_Okie: i believe in Lucid they removed the need to press anything at boot | 23:44 |
| mrgenixus | I assume that there's a package that's supposed to mamange that | 23:44 |
| mrgenixus | and I can, if I know what it is, do a 'dpkg-reconfigure' on it to correct the issue, I suspect. I need to know how the system works, in order to do that | 23:44 |
| mrgenixus | any suggestions | 23:44 |
| jevidl | banished: actually, it went from "Disabled" to "AHCI". I wasn't using chipset RAID. I am using mdadm for software RAID. So I doubt it has anything to do with the Chipset RAID setting. I suspect that perhaps it is being presented differently to udev and that the uuid may have changed, but I would like to confirm that the information is intact before I do something potentially damaging to the data. | 23:45 |
| jevidl | Also, RAID is not as fine as AHCI when you would like to have hot swappable esata | 23:45 |
| nimbiotics | Dr_Willis: The share is NOT in the smb.conf file ... How can I read the book you mentioned? | 23:47 |
| tobe | anyone: im trying to do <chmod +x start.sh> but it says there is no such file of directory... wut do i do? | 23:47 |
| C_Okie | Ubuntu Desktop on a CD wont restrain the abilities though right, it's just when you have the try CD for wubi that is for "trying" | 23:48 |
| p1und3r | has anyone else had their nm-applet not start up on boot after a fsck? | 23:48 |

| Benkinooby | i removed all language packages, but still i got 321 updates, and most of them are language packs... some1 encountered this problem too? | 23:49 |
| tupi | Yesterday i had a suddenly power shutdown at my house and when i select the ubuntu at grub all i get is that animation of ubuntu lucid lynx that means the system is being loaded, but then nothin happens, the animation just never end. Anybody knows what to do? | 23:49 |
| duffydack | p1und3r, I notice my wifi not connecting regardless if I use NM or plain /etc/network/interfaces file. If it takes too long to boot, my networking doesnt seem to start | 23:49 |
| ilovefairuz | p1und3r: some people reported it inexplicably disappearing | 23:49 |
| thune3 | tupi: it's hard to tell. It might just be fsck running on "unclean" disks, but that shouldn't take more than a few minutes in an absolute worst case scenario. You could edit the grub boot line to remove "quiet splash" and see if you get any useful debugging information. | 23:50 |
| duffydack | p1und3r, I have to restart networking, or reboot | 23:50 |
| p1und3r | duffydack,ilovefairuz: my boot is still fast, but i get no connection unless i run nm-applet in terminal now | 23:50 |
| p1und3r | duffydack,ilovefairuz: i know i could just rc.local nm-applet but i rather know the problem :\ | 23:50 |
| duffydack | p1und3r, fast? mine isnt slow but any slower than normal (like fsck) and it fails to startup | 23:50 |
| p1und3r | duffydack: yeah but now i've restarted 6 times normall without fsck and it's still gone | 23:51 |
| tobe | has ANYONE installed OPENBRAVOPOS succesfully? | 23:51 |
| duffydack | p1und3r, and starting network-manager works? | 23:51 |
| ilovefairuz | p1und3r: check system > preferences > startup applications | 23:51 |
| vatzec | Hey, folks. :-) I use Ubuntu on two desktops, one in one town, the other in another. Being a university student, I must have my stuff synchronized, so that I can work on projects while wherever. Due to the obvious number of applications used nowadays, I need to have 'em all synchronized. Do you know of any good desktop synchronization methods? | 23:51 |
| p1und3r | duffydack: network-manager is running on bootup, just not nm-applet | 23:52 |
| fixxxermet | I am pxe booting ubuntu from a NFS share. Every time I reboot these (http://pastebin.com/tBEiRbmF) lines get added to /etc/fstab and then it fails to boot, saying "waiting" for those filesystems | 23:52 |
| Dome | banished: i get internt connection but its not working | 23:52 |
| thune3 | mrgenixus: are these normal distro kernels? or custom/mainline kernels? | 23:52 |
| samrobert | hi | 23:52 |
| duffydack | p1und3r, ah. not that that problem... | 23:52 |
| mrgenixus | yeah, this is the normal i386 kernel | 23:53 |
| ryoohki | i see "initctl" is like red hat's "service" command | 23:53 |
| p1und3r | ilovefairuz: NetworkManager is in my startup applications "nm-applet --sm-disable" is that disable normal? | 23:53 |
| ryoohki | i see "initctl" is like red hat's "service" command, what is like "chkconfig". i want to stop some services from starting but upstart starts them anyway | 23:54 |
| mrgenixus | ryoohki: Ironically, service used to be redhat's 'service' command | 23:54 |
| mrgenixus | thune3: yeah -- normal kernel | 23:55 |
| nimbiotics | Dr_Willis: How can I read the book you mentioned? | 23:55 |
| bamrejjeej | I have a problem with my wifi connection: I have dhcp disabled in my router, therefore I must set the IPs manually, I do this using the commands ifconfig and route, but the wireless device insists on keeping a self-assigned Ip, even when "ifconfig eth1" displays the ip I have set. | 23:55 |

| songer | hello how you doing | 23:57 |
| Four2zero | when i try to connect to my win-machine using my ubuntu machine i not able to access the the network... | 23:57 |
| mrgenixus | ryoohki: soory -- don't know anything about that -- man pages? | 23:57 |
| tobe | ANYONE..... how do you know whether your command was successful or not....? | 23:58 |
| tupi | Yesterday i had a suddenly power shutdown at my house and when i select the ubuntu at grub all i get is that animation of ubuntu lucid lynx that means the system is being loaded, but then nothin happens, the animation just never end. Anybody knows what to do? | 23:58 |
| mrgenixus | the only error I get on reconfigure is 'dpkg-trigger must be called from maintainer script' which doesn't really say what it didn't do. I'm running grub2 AFAIK. I had to fix it a while back because of other issues ... I miss legacy grub. I knew how it worked, could use it to boot manually without having to consult the internets or swear a lot | 23:58 |
| songer | i have a computer with 256 ram if i install it Maverick Meerkat it will run ok?? | 23:58 |
| Dome | i get internt connection but its not working | 23:58 |
| ryoohki | mrgenixus: thanks! i found initctl( like sevrice) already but there seems to be no way to "chkconfig undesired off" | 23:58 |
| mrgenixus | thune3: ^^ | 23:58 |
| yashi- | songer: what do you want to do with that pc? | 23:58 |
| Dome | i get internt connection but its not working. im using live cd | 23:59 |
| jevidl | I had a software RAID array using mdadm. I enabled AHCI on my motherboard, and my drive assignments changed. My system still boots fine, but my RAID array no longer comes up since it is no longer /dev/sda1/ and /dev/sdc1, but should be /dev/sdb1/ and /dev/sdc1. Any suggestions on how to proceed? I would be ok bringing the array up in a degraded mode and rebuilding it, however I am having trouble putting my finger on those comma | 23:59 |
| Leemp | It seems that all the files within my external hard drive are set to executable, how can i change this? If i rightclick them and remove that setting in the file browser it is ignored and immediately reverted. Any ideas? | 23:59 |
| mrgenixus | ryoohki: the simple answer would seem to be 'you can't do that | 23:59 |
| songer | surf the web listen music | 23:59 |
| mrgenixus | ryoohki: usually, if it's something you can do, it will be documented | 23:59 |
| mrgenixus | Leemp: what filesystem is it? | 23:59 |
| tobe | does anyone know how you know if a command you did was successful | 23:59 |
| songer | yashi- nothing heavy | 23:59 |
| samrobert | Dome, simply re-connect again :) | 23:59 |
| Oer | tobe no error is oke. | 23:59 |
