[00:17] <cprofitt> hey all -- anyone have a fix for the lack of being able to control flash videos when using Firefox in 64bit?
[00:21] <cprofitt> here is the answer if anyone gets the question: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1508485&highlight=Firefox+Youtube+Controls
[00:36] <mungo63> Hello?
[00:37] <mungo63> Can someone answer a couple of basic questions for me?
[00:37] <aveilleux> mungo63, What's up?
[00:38] <isiah> 42
[00:38] <mungo63> hey man!  I have a system76 laptop that I think the wireless card went out on.  I'm trying to figure out what to do.
[00:38] <aveilleux> What wireless chipset is/was it, mungo63?
[00:39] <isiah> there is a way of finding that
[00:39] <mungo63> A couple of weeks ago it just stopped working.  I could not find the device anywhere on my system.  That is a question itself - should I be able to find this device somewhere?  How do you find out the wireless device?
[00:40] <aveilleux> It was a system76 laptop? Which one was it?
[00:40] <mungo63> i'm doing this chat on a windows machine because my linux machine can't get on the network.  I think the wired connection may also be bad
[00:42] <mungo63> A pangolin - panp4 I believe?  Does that sound right?  I got it in Dec. 08 - home use laptop with Ubuntu
[00:44] <aveilleux> mungo63, this one? http://www.system76.com/product_info.php?cPath=28&products_id=100
[00:45] <mungo63> yes, similar to this, but mine has an Nvidia card
[00:45] <aveilleux> mungo63, go to System > Administration > System76 Driver
[00:45] <aveilleux> It should list the specifics in there
[00:49] <aveilleux> I apologize, but I am being called away
[00:49] <aveilleux> I will be back soon
[00:51] <mungo63> Interesting.  WHen I do this, I get a pop up box saying this driver design for System76 machines running Ubuntu versions 6 thru 8.10.  I'm up to date on 10.04
[00:52] <mungo63> It did not give me any driver info.
[01:07] <mungo63> it looks like I have an Intel Wireless Wifi Link 5100.  Ethernet controller RealTek Semi.
[01:23] <Gene_s> test
[01:24] <seidos> hello Gene_s
[01:27] <Gene_s> I need help over writing Ubuntu 9.04 with 10.04 but it stays on 9.04
[01:28] <Gene_s> I have an eeePC HAG1005
[01:29] <Gene_s> I am installing from a USB drive
[01:29] <seidos> Gene_s, any errors when you try installing?
[01:29] <Gene_s> no, the computer just comes up as 9.04
[01:30] <Gene_s> I have set the boot priority for the USB drive firsat
[01:32] <Gene_s> I am thinking the USB drive has not been properly load..I have done this twice or 3 times
[01:34] <seidos> Gene_s, hmmm, I'm not sure how to check the usb drive's configuration.  I've never created a bootable usb drive.
[01:34] <seidos> Gene_s, do you have another system to try the usb stick on?
[01:35] <Gene_s> yes, my windows computer
[01:36] <seidos> Gene_s, so check if it boots on their.  If it doesn't, then you know it's the usb stick, and that it needs to be set up differently.
[01:36] <Gene_s> ok, thanks
[01:36] <seidos> s/their/there
[02:01] <nathan_> hey guys i need some help
[02:02] <nathan_> im trying to use the abgx360gui and the cli window will not open
[02:05] <nathan_> anyone
[02:10] <seidos> nathan_, never heard of the abgx360gui
[02:10] <nathan_> its for checking xbox360 games
[02:11] <nathan_> well i guess im out of luck
[02:11] <nathan_> i kinda need it though lol
[02:11] <nathan_> oh well
[02:11] <nathan_> back win 7
[02:46] <mungo63> hello - Can someone help me with some questions about my wireless connection?
[02:47] <zkriesse> !ask | mungo63
[02:47] <mungo63> avielleux - I think you were trying to help me before
[02:47] <ubot2> mungo63: 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. :-)
[02:48] <aveilleux> That I was
[02:48] <mungo63> ok, understood.  My system76 machine has a problem with the wireless AND wired connection.  The wireless connection used to work until a couple of weeks ago
[02:48] <zkriesse> aveilleux: Hey my VERY GOOD friend!
[02:48] <mungo63> it looks like I have an Intel Wireless Wifi Link 5100.  Ethernet controller RealTek Semi.
[02:49] <aveilleux> Oh, both your wireless *and* wired connections are failing?
[02:49] <mungo63> Wen I do System-Administration-System76 drivers, I get a pop up box saying this driver design for System76 machines running Ubuntu versions 6 thru 8.10.  I'm up to date on 10.04
[02:50] <mungo63> yes, I don't think either connection works now.  I plugged the hard-wire in to my machine but I still can not connect to the internet
[02:50] <aveilleux> mungo63: This may be of use to you: http://knowledge76.com/index.php/Panp4/Panp5
[02:54] <mungo63> Are you saying I need to follow these instructions to fix my machine, or just to be able to run the System-Administration-System76 driver check?
[02:58] <mungo63> I was able to get some info from the System Testing option.  The report shows my Wireless to be intel and my ethernet controller to be Realtek.  Does this report mean the devices werre queried and responded, or does this system test just print out data from a stored file?
[02:59] <aveilleux> mungo63: I honestly don't know. It sounds like the drivers need to be updated, but I don't know enough about the s76 laptops to know where to get that. Try:
[02:59] <aveilleux> !networking |mungo63
[02:59] <ubot2> Factoid 'networking' not found
[02:59] <aveilleux> Durn.
[02:59] <aveilleux> !wireless |mungo63
[02:59] <ubot2> mungo63: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[02:59] <aveilleux> That's better,
[03:03] <mungo63> actually, it looks like my ethernet connection is now working.  I'm going to sign in on my Linux machine now and try to diagnose the wireless problem.
[03:05] <mungo631> How do I check the status of my wireless device on my System76 laptop?
[10:33] <shiloh09> finally have my ubuntu box running!!!!  no more crap Jolicloud on my netbook!!!
[10:34] <shiloh09> how do I execute a .sh file?
[10:35] <shiloh09> I have a .sh uninstall file
[11:48] <royprateek> hey is anybody here
[11:54] <Silver_Fox_> Yes, why?
[13:48] <paultag> heyya phillw
[13:49] <phillw> hi paultag
[16:14] <mhall119> good morning
[16:15] <mhall119> I have a script that shreds certain files before my laptop goes into suspend
[16:15] <mhall119> but that's only going to work if ext4 file data is written to disk before my laptop enters suspend
[16:15] <mhall119> does anybody know if ext4 does that?
[16:16] <paultag> mhall119: just call sync
[16:17] <paultag> mhall119: I think it does, but set up the call to run sync
[16:17] <mhall119> ah, that's what I've been looking for
[16:17] <paultag> it flushes the metaphorical hell out of the buffers
[16:17] <mhall119> thanks paultag
[16:17] <paultag> sure mhall119
[16:18] <mhall119> cool, doesn't even slow things down that much
[16:20] <paultag> mhall119: nopers
[16:20] <paultag> mhall119: Firefox does it pretty regularly ( which sucks for old drives _
[16:21] <paultag> tr "_" ")"
[16:24] <mhall119> yeah, I've seen FF causing my IO to spike
[16:24] <mhall119> makes my HDD click, which I don't like
[16:25] <mhall119> it's not FF so much as sqlite
[16:25] <mhall119> it's a know performance problem with sqlite3 on ext4
[16:28] <paultag> mhall119: it's not ext4
[16:28] <paultag> mhall119: it's because it calls sync();
[16:28] <paultag> mhall119: ibuclaw wrote up something one time with rewriting it's solib and using an LD_PRELOAD hack to noop the sync call
[16:28] <paultag> mhall119: and it fixes it
[17:58] <Krayons> Hey guys, If any of you have any experience in FTPd and a multi-user setup please could you check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1556395
[18:03] <geirha> Mount-binding should work
[18:04] <geirha> mount-binding is «mount a directory on another directory»
[18:06] <geirha> mkdir -p /home/users/<user>/shares && sudo mount -o bind /home/shares /home/users/<user>/shares
[18:06] <geirha> I have little to know experience with ftp-servers, so I don't know how to get those to handle symlinks properly.
[18:07] <geirha> gah. *little to no experience
[18:08] <geirha> ftp is an ancient protocol that should have died out years ago.
[18:50] <Krayons> Thank geirha
[18:51] <Krayons> Will try that
[23:57] <harrison_> anyone here?
[23:59] <smeag0l> yes
[23:59] <harrison_> anything happening?
