| coz_ | panfist, I do not | 00:00 |
| dominicdinada | merl15: there is prob 100 howto articles i will quick google for it and give you the results | 00:00 |
| MusicJunkieK1 | my compositing is disabled on login, why does this keep happening? | 00:00 |

| nerdy_kid | ok im confused; im compiling a wireless driver for ubuntu lucid: do i compile the mac80211 version or the IEEE80211? thanks in advance | 00:01 |
| panfist | when a user is added to an ubuntu system, where is the default gnome configuration pulled from? it's not in /etc/skel ... i'm trying to use sabayon but it seems buggy and it's not working | 00:01 |
| ikonia | panfist: it's created upon login | 00:01 |
| dominicdinada | merl15: and here is how to PROPERLY make a live/usb installer | 00:02 |
| dominicdinada | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick | 00:02 |
| panfist | it's created upon login but it can't be created from nothing...what script defines what is created upon login | 00:02 |
| ikonia | panfist: the gnome binaries make the default settings, then writes them to file in the users home dir on login | 00:03 |
| Newbiez | can someone try to help me | 00:04 |
| merl15 | dominicdinada, what about that link? The netbook-remix install iso works just fine after using UNetbootin. I want the alternate installer though and that one doesn't work. This is probably a UNetbootin issue, it not doing something quite right maybe. I'll take a look at that second link. | 00:04 |
| E8newallm | Anyone know how I can change the login sound? | 00:04 |
| ikonia | E8newallm: in the sounds setting | 00:04 |
| Blue1 | Newbiez: sup? | 00:04 |
| Newbiez | i added 20 ip address in eth0, its work about 10 hours. but now, when i type ifconfig so i just see 3 of 20 ip's. i missing 17 another ip's. any suggestion ? | 00:04 |
| E8newallm | It doesn't offer any options for changing it | 00:04 |
| thune3 | panfist: i'm not clear on this one but there is some stuff in /usr/share/gconf, and I think you set a file in /usr/share/gconf/defaults/ to change a default key. | 00:05 |
| E8newallm | Just for changing the sound theme. | 00:05 |
| nerdy_kid | what is the difference between mac80211 and IEE80211 and which does ubuntu use? (and please no wikipedias...been trying to fix a driver for 3 hours) | 00:05 |
| dominicdinada | merl15: I read in great depth of howtos on netbooks and myself personally i decided to go with Snow Leopard | 00:05 |
| Blue1 | Newbiez: why would an ethernet port have 20 ip addresses? | 00:05 |
| E8newallm | Nobody know? | 00:06 |
| TemperingPick | merl15: Try this: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ | 00:06 |
| TemperingPick | if you are on Windows | 00:06 |
| ikonia | E8newallm: there is a sound theme editor, just looking for it | 00:06 |
| Newbiez | its possible. if i have 20 public ip's and assign all of the ip in one server | 00:06 |
| E8newallm | Is there? | 00:06 |
| merl15 | dominicdinada, why's that? Also, I chose to go with the alternate Ubuntu installer because of its easy-to-set-up LVM "full disk encryption" | 00:06 |
| merl15 | TemperingPick, not on Win | 00:06 |
| itsux2bu | anybody know if netsavy006 got his problem fixed? | 00:06 |
| dominicdinada | merl15: Mac ? | 00:06 |
| E8newallm | Will it be in the Synaptic? | 00:06 |
| Blue1 | Newbiez: well you are obviously beyond me... | 00:06 |
| merl15 | dominicdinada, Linux | 00:07 |
| ikonia | E8newallm: it used to be in the settings | 00:07 |
| rob_p | Newbiez: You can add them with ifconfig at the command prompt. | 00:07 |
| TemperingPick | I assume you followed the directions here then? | 00:07 |
| TemperingPick | http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download | 00:07 |
| dominicdinada | merl15: no you asked what Snow Leopard was and I was saying Mac? like you never heard of it | 00:08 |
| E8newallm | :/ | 00:08 |
| merl15 | dominicdinada, does Snow Leopard or any other OS X installer come with an option of easily setting up disk encryption? I was considering going with Gentoo and manually going through the whole tedious process but decided I'm not masochist enough to do that right now. | 00:08 |
| Jmisl | can anyone help me out with connecting to the internet while on ubuntu? | 00:08 |
| merl15 | I asked "why's that?" not "what's that?" :) | 00:08 |
| itsux2bu | my mirc windows has a number 1366.. is that how many people are here? | 00:08 |
| itsux2bu | *window | 00:08 |
| scunizi | yep | 00:09 |
| TemperingPick | itsux2bu: Yes | 00:09 |
| itsux2bu | well damn.. | 00:09 |
| Blue1 | itsux2bu: yup | 00:09 |
| rob_p | Newbiez: If you want to add that many IP aliases to one interface, I'd suggest a simple shell script that you can have the system call upon booting. | 00:09 |
| Jmisl | How do i install wifi radar if i transfer it from a disk onto ubuntu? | 00:09 |
| dominicdinada | merl15: I never really looked into it, I don't have the time to leave a 4th OS in and out. a simple google result on it ??? but you would need to Cough Buy the OS | 00:09 |
| dominicdinada | learn not leave* | 00:10 |
| Blue1 | Jmisl: sudo dpkg -i <somename>.deb | 00:10 |
| TemperingPick | merl15: You can use Truecypt to encypt. | 00:10 |
| TemperingPick | Works on Linux, Win, Mac | 00:10 |
| === samitheb1rber is now known as samitheberber | ||
| merl15 | so dominicdinada, do tell why you would choose OS X for a netbook. Just got my first netbook ever and I'm still trying to decide what to put on it.. | 00:10 |
| TemperingPick | OS X won't go on a Netbook easily. | 00:11 |
| dominicdinada | merl15: to see what the hype was about. | 00:11 |
| merl15 | s/chose/choose | 00:11 |
| Blue1 | merl15: I dual boot win 7 starter, and ubuntu netbook remix | 00:11 |
| Jmisl | do you know where i can download a working version of wifi radar for ubuntu 10.04? | 00:11 |
| dominicdinada | TemperingPick: check those sources again theres at least 50 youtube howtos for both linux and mac | 00:11 |
| Blue1 | Jmisl: I do not -- I've never heard of it, sorry. | 00:11 |
| dominicdinada | dell mini 9 = gravy | 00:11 |
| Jmisl | well do you know how to enable wifi through the terminal? | 00:12 |
| alise | "Literally. Gravy." | 00:12 |
| Blue1 | Jmisl: ifup | 00:12 |
| dominicdinada | infact before i first got one i did research of expandability and os's | 00:12 |
| TemperingPick | jmisl: This doesn't work | 00:12 |
| TemperingPick | sudo aptitude install wifi-radar | 00:12 |
| Jmisl | i dont have access to the internet while on ubuntu | 00:12 |
| TemperingPick | dominicdinada: Oh I know it'll work. I said easily. | 00:12 |
| Blue1 | Jmisl: want kind of lan card to you have? | 00:13 |
| Blue1 | Jmisl: wlan | 00:13 |
| TemperingPick | jmisl: You can try Softpedia.http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/Networking/WiFi-Radar-3594.shtml | 00:13 |
| dominicdinada | TemperingPick: I was saying the videos on the tube for both Ubuntu/Osx made it so simple a 5 year old could do it | 00:13 |
| itsux2bu | of the 24875 channels the list command provided.. #ubuntu is the largest by 500+ of users | 00:13 |
| merl15 | TemperingPick, yep, I know of Truecrypt. I actually make part of my living in the security field..I'm just exploring the other possibilities and options right now. I do kind of like the ease of setting up the LVM/dm-crypt with the alternate ubuntu installer or with Fedora. Other linux flavors really should offer a similar feature with their installers one way or another.. | 00:13 |
| Jmisl | 1394 network adapter | 00:14 |
| Jmisl | my mistake | 00:14 |
| itsux2bu | freenode should be called PlanetUbuntu | 00:14 |
| Jmisl | Dell wireless 1395 WLAN Mini-Card | 00:14 |
| Blue1 | Jmisl: could you please prepend your comments with my nick - that would help a lot - thanks. | 00:14 |
| Jmisl | Blue1: sure | 00:15 |
| dominicdinada | but Mac on a dell mini or any netbook gives you all the hype at a 10th of the cost | 00:15 |

| TemperingPick | merl15: Debian offers an option to do that as well. | 00:15 |
| merl15 | TemperingPick, oh ok, nice. Thanks. | 00:16 |
| Jmisl | Blue1: I have installed ndiswrapper-common, ndiswrapper-utils, ndisgtk from the cd in that order | 00:16 |
| TemperingPick | dominicdinada: Okay, I believe you. :) | 00:16 |
| RenatoSilva | How to rename a user? | 00:16 |
| TemperingPick | merl15: and Red Hat 6 has that as well. The beta is from Red Hat's site. Just google it. | 00:17 |
| Blue1 | RenatoSilva: edit hostname in /etc | 00:17 |
| RenatoSilva | Blue1: How to rename a user? Not just full name, not just /home/username, I want to change the login name itself. | 00:17 |
| Jmisl | Blue1: I have have also downloaded the dell drivers and installed them from the system/admin/windows wireless drivers | 00:17 |
| Blue1 | Jmisl: it says here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsDell that you might need the broadcom driver... | 00:18 |
| rob_p | Newbiez: http://pastebin.com/8S8ZucHY <--- In case you're interested in a simple shell script that can add IP aliases. It should be fairly self-explanatory. | 00:18 |
| Blue1 | RenatoSilva: System/Administration/User and groups | 00:19 |
| itsux2bu | so there are man pages not just for commands but for their non-executing (non-binary) support files..? ie.. i just read there is a man page for ssh-config .. | 00:19 |
| ESTALE | RenatoSilva: usermod -l login-name old-name | 00:19 |

| merl15 | dominicdinada, Ubuntu has an "alternate" text based installer, which has the FDE feature. The normal graphical installer doesn't | 00:26 |

| AndrewMC | dugger5688, when you say nm you mean network manager correct? | 00:33 |
| itsux2bu | vpn is better at graphics than ssh? | 00:33 |
| gizmobay | yes, I grepped for usb and Logitech | 00:34 |
| dugger5688 | AndrewMC: yeah, they're part of the same package I believe (?) | 00:34 |
| gizmobay | didn't see anything at all | 00:34 |
| rockhopper | ikonia, are you there? | 00:34 |
| olskolirc | what is my video device please /dev/? | 00:34 |
| AndrewMC | dugger5688, well have you tried making the connecting avalible to all users | 00:34 |
| dominicdinada | itsux2bu: ssh is command line vnc usually has a gui.... VPN is just a communications protocol... you need to learn to distinguish between them all otherwise you will confuse everyone you are talking to | 00:35 |
| collabra | olskolirc: usually /dev/video or /dev/video0 | 00:35 |
| olskolirc | thanks | 00:35 |
| dominicdinada | itsux2bu: ssh is usually commandline**** | 00:35 |
| dugger5688 | AndrewMC: I'll check that out. | 00:35 |

| ikonia | rockhopper: no, you'll need to re-install dpkg for that, but as you've not got dpkg thats going to be a problem | 00:36 |
| Saguaro | is there somewhere else that applications are kept? | 00:36 |
| suprengr | d3s3rt3gl: revert to 9.04/9.10 [check which one first]... its part of the user choices to switch to "full" desktop mode/display.... a [sadly] missing function in 10.04 | 00:36 |

| rockhopper | ikonia, i have jolicloud installed on dualboot, which 's also based on ubuntu.. | 00:37 |
| itsux2bu | dominicdinada, i've used ssh from windows to my shared host account at godaddy and i used tinyvnc to take control of mom's desktop upstairs.. but never been exposed to vpn | 00:37 |
| AndrewMC | dugger5688, im not sure i only have one account on this PC | 00:37 |
| rockhopper | ikonia, Can i copy those files into the ubuntu's dpkg directory? | 00:37 |
| ikonia | rockhopper: you can chroot from a livecd (so it uses the ubuntu repos) and re-install it | 00:37 |
| ikonia | rockhopper: don't copy from another disro | 00:38 |
| aperson | has anyone gotten the webcollage screensaver working with driftnet? | 00:38 |

| dominicdinada | itsux2bu: ssh from windows? by default there is no client on windows for ssh, unless u got putty or something. | 00:38 |
| iflema | d3s3rt3gl logout and select gnome as the session...... | 00:38 |
| Newbiez | thanks a lot for help. now i restart my server and using the script to add ip aliases. i hope this ip stay up without error. thx alot | 00:38 |
| itsux2bu | dominicdinada, putty is a ssh client in windows | 00:38 |
| itsux2bu | dominicdinada, yea.. i used putty | 00:39 |
| RenatoSilva | I created a new group for the user with the same id it seems. So all file permissions where that group is mentioned are not affected right? For example, the permission of file1 stands that the group is old-group. Because the new group has the same id, it will point to the new group automatically right? | 00:39 |
| dominicdinada | itsux2bu: putty is totally different from windows. it runs on windows but not apart or installed on any windows machine. lol | 00:39 |
| itsux2bu | dominicdinada, i know that.. sorry i phrased that wrong.. | 00:40 |
| dominicdinada | errr not packaged with any windows installs unless it is a installer built via WAIK or so | 00:40 |
| dominicdinada | Anyhow GRRRRR at my problem. Why doesn't a remotely mounted filesystem have a path such a /media/ or /dev/ or etc... for use in such programs as netbeans etc..... | 00:40 |
| itsux2bu | dominicdinada, i should have said.. i've used the windows-based putty client to access my godaddy host account | 00:40 |
| dominicdinada | ok bbiab | 00:41 |
| olskolirc | did i modprobe right: sudo modprobe CX23416 | 00:41 |

| itsux2bu | basix-, its free | 00:46 |
| basix- | jrib | 00:46 |
| basix- | i am using windows telnet app | 00:47 |
| wi | hi | 00:47 |
| jrib | indeed putty is the way to go on windows | 00:47 |
| dugger5688 | basix- you want putty | 00:47 |
| basix- | and i am going to the ip that my router has assigned for my machine running openssh server | 00:47 |
| itsux2bu | basix-, i don't think telnet and ssh are the same thing | 00:47 |
| RenatoSilva | thanks all | 00:47 |
| basix- | i had a thought that may be the reason | 00:47 |
| dugger5688 | basix- your server should also be statically assigned, not DHCP. | 00:47 |
| basix- | but was not sure | 00:47 |
| collabra | telnet doesn't encrypt the transmission | 00:48 |
| basix- | ok | 00:48 |
| collabra | ssh does | 00:48 |
| jrenner | hey guys I'm havin some issues connecting to wireless... anyone wanna gimme a hand? | 00:48 |
| basix- | so my problem is the client, i need putty to connect? | 00:48 |
| itsux2bu | basix-, i'm a newbie but have gone thru all this and i'm a windows user from wayback | 00:48 |
| collabra | basix: if you are trying to connect to an ssh server then yes you want putty | 00:48 |
| basix- | k | 00:48 |
| basix- | downloading putty then :) | 00:49 |
| nDuff | I'm getting warnings that "packages cannot be authenticated" even on upstream distro packages (most recently, openssl-doc). Is there a potential bug involved, or is someone doing something evil? | 00:49 |
| basix- | thx everyone i'm sure once i download it i'll have another problem lol | 00:49 |
| basix- | hopefully not | 00:49 |
| collabra | lol | 00:49 |
| basix- | big newb | 00:49 |
| collabra | it sure does seem that way huh. | 00:49 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| jrenner | hey anyone wann help me wireless up and going? | 00:49 |
| collabra | the learning curve is very high with linux | 00:50 |
| basix- | what is the diff between staitc ip | 00:50 |
| basix- | and dhcp? | 00:50 |
| basix- | dhcp is like 192.168.1.149 | 00:50 |
| KB1JWQ | collabra: I'd argue the learning curve is very high with computers; it's not specific to Linux. | 00:50 |
| basix- | static is? my IP the my ISP gives me? | 00:50 |
| itsux2bu | basix-, there are 2 types of IP addresses | 00:50 |
| collabra | dhcp allocate the ip automatically static is just that static one ip that it always uses | 00:50 |
| nDuff | basix-, DHCP means that a server on your network (or your router, or such) is assigning you an address | 00:50 |
| nDuff | basix-, static means you're putting in your system's IP address manually | 00:50 |
| itsux2bu | basix-, static and dynamic | 00:51 |
| basix- | k | 00:51 |
| itsux2bu | basix-, static stays the same.. dynamic can change | 00:51 |
| collabra | what he saidd | 00:51 |
| Aliselyn | hey, I'm having a bit of trouble with my laptop getting the dialup working on 10.04. Does anyone here know much about this, and might be able to help me out? | 00:52 |
| dugger5688 | basix- most likely your external IP is dynamic as it is assigned by your ISP. Unless you make it a habit of turning of ur modem for several days though it will often remain the same for a year or so. | 00:52 |
| * nDuff checks the checksum for his openssl-doc package against packages.ubuntu.com, and the checksums match... | 00:52 | |
| Faithful | in the UK which company has the best mobile broadband coverage? | 00:52 |
| suprengr | basix-: its the same as in windows | 00:52 |
| jrenner | hey guys how do I get the internet icon to reappear in my panel | 00:52 |
| itsux2bu | basix-, DHCP assigns dynamic ip addresses | 00:52 |
| basix- | okay | 00:52 |
| Faithful | jrenner, you must run network manager in you login | 00:52 |
| itsux2bu | basix-, DHCP ip addresses come from you ISP | 00:53 |
| suprengr | basix-: but linux / unix is more secure... and at that poimt ...over to the experts | 00:53 |
| basix- | so if i reset my modem i will have to mess with router config for my laptop to connect to the network again? | 00:53 |
| jrenner | Faithful: what's the command? | 00:53 |
| jymmy | anyone know what is the process name update-apt-xapi ?? | 00:53 |
| basix- | if i use static over DHCP | 00:53 |
| scunizi | I'm having issues with my laptop getting much hotter than it did on 9.10. I did a fresh install for 10.04 keeping the original /home. What do I look for to diagnose this? | 00:53 |
| collabra | basix- : ubuntu defaults to dhcp,... automatic ip allocation,... just like windows | 00:53 |
| dugger5688 | jrenner: Did you switch users with fast user switching? | 00:53 |
| Faithful | jrenner, system --> prefs --> startup apps | 00:53 |
| skered | I'm dealing with someone that removed the top panel from the default Gnome install (Apps, Places, System,....., Network, etc...$) | 00:54 |
| basix- | k | 00:54 |
| skered | How do you get that panel back? | 00:54 |
| basix- | i am connected to my computer now with Putty btw | 00:54 |
| jrenner | okay its there... | 00:54 |
| collabra | basix- : if your internet service provider gives you a static ip,... they would have told you | 00:54 |
| jrenner | but its not in my panel.... | 00:54 |
| basix- | appreciate the help on that one ;) | 00:54 |
| jrenner | it goes in the notification area right? | 00:54 |
| itsux2bu | basix-, well in theory you'll get a new ip address whenever you reboot your router.. but my isp usually gives me the same IP | 00:54 |
| basix- | ah ok | 00:54 |
| Faithful | jrenner, you need to have the system notification applet running on your panel | 00:55 |
| basix- | i am using a linksys wireless-G router | 00:55 |
| itsux2bu | basix-, you just can't count on it.. | 00:55 |
| jrenner | Faithful: I do | 00:55 |
| ChogyDan | scunizi: you might be better off filing a bug report against linux: ubuntu-bug -p linux | 00:55 |
| scunizi | ChogyDan: I'll do that.. thanks | 00:55 |
| itsux2bu | basix-, but your router most likely has DHCP server in it too | 00:55 |
| basix- | okay | 00:55 |
| ChogyDan | !panels | skered | 00:56 |
| ubottu | skered: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 00:56 |
| basix- | i can change it? | 00:56 |
| basix- | or no? | 00:56 |
| jrenner | lemme try and relog | 00:56 |
| basix- | because right now I cannot connect to my laptop through SSH unless i am on the network, correct? | 00:56 |
| itsux2bu | basix-, with most routers i believe you can have both | 00:56 |
| basix- | k | 00:56 |
| collabra | basix: sure,... you can configure your router to use static ip's,... but it's so much more convienient to use dhcp | 00:56 |
| itsux2bu | basix-, let the router give each device a dynamic IP.. but you can assign a static one if you want | 00:57 |
| basix- | haha ok | 00:57 |
| basix- | im a bit confused | 00:57 |
| itsux2bu | dynamic is automatic.. static is manual.. once.. | 00:58 |
| basix- | with dynamic can i connect to my laptop outside of the network? | 00:58 |
| collabra | basix- : if you were setting up a server behind your router,... you would want to use a static ip for it,... then, you would always know the ip address for your other machines to connect to it | 00:58 |
| chobaz-kun | mhhh | 00:58 |
| basix- | ok | 00:59 |
| UbuntuNoob | !terminal | 00:59 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 00:59 |
| basix- | exit | 00:59 |
| basix- | wrong keyboard.. | 01:00 |
| collabra | lol | 01:00 |
| itsux2bu | basix-, what makes this a bit more confusing.. is that you have 2 ip addresses.. one between you isp and router.. and one between router and devices connect to it | 01:00 |
| Faithful | basix-, you more root passwds that way than any other | 01:00 |
| Renski | 1337 channel members :) | 01:01 |
| dugger5688 | Limitations of IPv4 :-) | 01:01 |
| basix- | ok | 01:01 |
| jrenner | so it didn't work :( | 01:01 |
| collabra | should we get into the elegant frustration of NAT routing,..? | 01:01 |
| Faithful | did you reboot the machine? | 01:01 |
| Faithful | jrenner, ? | 01:02 |
| itsux2bu | collabra, no.. his brain will pop | 01:02 |
| collabra | lol | 01:02 |
| basix- | difficult if i want to use an IP address inbetween my route and devices connecting to it, how to i get an IP for that? | 01:02 |
| itsux2bu | poor guy is having enough to get his brain around | 01:02 |
| basix- | sry bout the typos | 01:02 |
| jrenner | i tried relogging and the nm-applet still isn't there :( | 01:02 |
| ChogyDan | basix-: does your router have port forwarding? That is the easiest... | 01:03 |
| thune3 | nDuff: i used to know this, but now... "sudo apt-key list" do you have " Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key"? | 01:03 |
| dugger5688 | jrenner: Are you using fast user switching? | 01:03 |
| Faithful | jrenner, is there another user on the box? | 01:03 |
| collabra | basix- : you would usually point your internet browser either at 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 and configure your router | 01:03 |
| basix- | Port Range Forward? | 01:03 |
| basix- | collabra, i'm in my router now | 01:03 |
| collabra | basix- : exactly | 01:03 |
| jrenner | dugger: no | 01:03 |
| basix- | okay | 01:03 |
| jrenner | Faithful: yes | 01:03 |
| Renski | basix-, you should get yourself on a network course, or if able to learn that way, a few good books and a network to play with | 01:03 |
| jrenner | Faithful: its not really an important account (aka I could delete and care less) | 01:04 |
| dugger5688 | jrenner: I think you are, log out all users then log on with your account. It will probably by back. | 01:04 |
| basix- | haha i know | 01:04 |
| nathan_ | hey guys i need your help with flash | 01:04 |
| itsux2bu | basix-, how many PC's connected to you router? | 01:04 |
| basix- | should take a class at the local junior college | 01:04 |
| basix- | itsux2bu, 2 pcs | 01:04 |
| nathan_ | it seems to be a little glicthy with flash games in ubunut | 01:05 |
| collabra | basix- : if you want to assign a specific computer to an ip ,... a static ip,... connect that computer to your router and ,... well,... choose i think the LAN setting and assign a static ip for that machine based on your MAC address | 01:05 |
| sacarlson | Renski: who needs a course when we have google and you to teach us. | 01:05 |
| itsux2bu | basix-, good.. thats a network.. | 01:05 |
| nathan_ | firefox | 01:05 |
| ChogyDan | basix-: please don't use enter as punctuation | 01:05 |
| hexbomber | This is a noob question :( I am trying to setup a quad monitor display for the first time on Ubuntu, and I am running into some problems with xinerama, there is a supposed patch for my problems available here: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=35383 although, I am not sure how to apply this patch :( | 01:05 |

| ironfoot495 | hello IU just installed gnome-chess and I need to know how to find servers for it. Is there a way to find them??? | 01:06 |
| miststlkr | wondering if someone could point me at the .menu file for the System menu in 10.04 please | 01:06 |
| ChogyDan | jrenner: what happens when you run nm-applet? | 01:06 |
| nDuff | thune3, two of them (dated 2004-09-12 and 2004-12-30). | 01:06 |
| UbuntuNoob | when i want to install a program and i go to terminal and type sudo apt-get after that how do i know what the package name for it is? do i have to find their website and it will tell me? | 01:07 |
| aeon-ltd | miststlkr: why? | 01:07 |
| sacarlson | miststlkr: I think it's at the top of the screen 3rd place over from the left? | 01:07 |
| aperson | UbuntuNoob, there's tab complete, other wise I just use aptitude search | 01:07 |
| jrenner | ChogyDan: nm-applet is already runnig | 01:07 |
| jrenner | *running | 01:07 |
| hexbomber | UbuntuNoob: sudo apt-cache search packageName | 01:07 |
| ChogyDan | hexbomber: have you tried maverick? | 01:07 |
| hexbomber | ChogyDan: maverick? | 01:08 |
| ChogyDan | jrenner: have you reset your panels? | 01:08 |
| basix- | ok sweet | 01:08 |
| UbuntuNoob | aperson: how do i use aptitude search? like what hexbomber said? | 01:08 |
| sihnu | hello, could someone help me? I compiled a development version of package and now I would like to get rid of it but I just don't know how | 01:08 |
| basix- | i got it all figured out i think | 01:08 |
| basix- | ;) | 01:08 |
| jrenner | yup | 01:08 |
| sihnu | I would like to reinstall the older version | 01:08 |
| aperson | UbuntuNoob, yes | 01:09 |
| ChogyDan | hexbomber: it is the development version of ubuntu, it has a new xorg which may have the patch. | 01:09 |
| hexbomber | ChogyDan: No, It took me 3 weeks to get Lucid up and running :( | 01:09 |
| aperson | UbuntuNoob, they're both essentially the same thing | 01:09 |
| ChogyDan | hexbomber: you could try a live install, just to test it | 01:09 |
| thune3 | nDuff: if you "sudo apt-get update" you still get the probem (was this just a bum update)? | 01:09 |
| Faithful | jrenner, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-network-manager-applet-missing-from-notification-area-in-ubuntu-10-04.html | 01:09 |
| sacarlson | sihnu: normaly they tell you how in the readme files of the tar package. I think each is a bit different. | 01:10 |
| hexbomber | is there anyway to just update Lucidś xorg to mavericks? | 01:10 |
| Faithful | jrenner, method 1 for you | 01:10 |
| thune3 | nDuff: and the 2004-12-30 should be the "Ubuntu CD Image" key | 01:10 |
| ChogyDan | sihnu: how did compile and install it? | 01:10 |
| nDuff | thune3, I ran an "apt-key update", and can no longer reproduce the problem. | 01:10 |
| thune3 | nDuff: so you're fixed! | 01:11 |
| nDuff | yup -- thanks! | 01:11 |
| ActionParsnip | hey all is there an email client which has a web frontend like the webui transmission has? | 01:11 |
| sihnu | I followed the instructions in tha package I downloaded | 01:11 |
| sihnu | like ./configure --> make --> make install etc | 01:11 |
| sihnu | I can't find anything about removing the package | 01:12 |
| ChogyDan | sihnu: then I think your only option is to try something like make uninstall. But you have to read the directions in the package you downloaded | 01:12 |
| ActionParsnip | sihnu: you could make a deb using checkinstall, install the deb, then remove it | 01:13 |
| UbuntuNoob | aperson: after i search and i find what i wanted, how to i install it? sudo apt-get packagename? | 01:13 |
| ActionParsnip | UbuntuNoob: close: sudo apt-get install packagename | 01:13 |
| UbuntuNoob | thanks | 01:13 |
| Faithful | jrenner, killall nm-applet then restart it again with Alt+F2 nm-applet. | 01:14 |
| sihnu | ActionParsnip, how can I do that? | 01:14 |
| UbuntuNoob | say i install something and i dont want it anymore, what is the command to delete it? | 01:15 |
| chrysanthemum | UbuntuNoob: sudo apt-get remove packagename | 01:15 |

| giannis | could anyone help me | 01:16 |
| UbuntuNoob | !ask | giannis | 01:16 |
| ubottu | giannis: 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. :-) | 01:16 |
| Faithful | giannis, anyone definitly cannot help... but someone might be able to. | 01:16 |
| giannis | how can i connect my laptop with tv with hdmi | 01:17 |
| giannis | i;m in ubuntu | 01:17 |
| UbuntuNoob | thanks chrysanthemum | 01:17 |
| Faithful | giannis, you have hdmi out on you notebook? | 01:18 |
| ActionParsnip | sacarlson: i'll look into it, cheers :) | 01:18 |
| giannis | yes | 01:18 |
| giannis | i have | 01:18 |
| Faithful | plug it in | 01:18 |
| giannis | i plugged but nothing | 01:19 |
| LorgonJortle | Hi! | 01:19 |
| Faithful | if the driver you are using supports it... then look in system --> prefs --> monitors | 01:19 |
| Faithful | giannis, or reboot with it plugged in. | 01:19 |
| LorgonJortle | I want to mount a windows share in ubuntu. I've tried: mount -t cifs //computer-name /mnt/ -o username=theusername | 01:20 |
| Faithful | LorgonJortle, that is not how you use it | 01:20 |
| giannis | did;nt have ubuntu any application for this?? | 01:20 |
| Faithful | a computer name is not mountable | 01:20 |
| ActionParsnip | LorgonJortle: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindows | 01:21 |
| ActionParsnip | oops | 01:21 |
| LorgonJortle | I reckoned it was a pointer. | 01:21 |
| LorgonJortle | Sorry 'bout that. | 01:21 |
| sacarlson | LorgonJortle: I've had some trouble with that, you mean you want to mount a folder that is on a windows system? It easier to share a ubuntu folder with windows. | 01:21 |
| ActionParsnip | LorgonJortle: i have mine in my fstab: //fileserver/Leanne /home/andy/Fileserver/Leanne smbfs username=***,password=***,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0 | 01:21 |
| LorgonJortle | Yeah, I want to access Windows from ubunty | 01:21 |
| LorgonJortle | Ubuntu* | 01:22 |
| sacarlson | ActionParsnip: that's cool anything need changing on the windows side? I'll give that a try. | 01:23 |
| rpj8 | Is there anyway to resize my lvm partition so that I may install windows on newly freed up space? | 01:23 |
| Faithful | LorgonJortle, cifs not smbfs | 01:23 |
| UbuntuNoob | is there a way to share itunes wirelessly from my windows desktop to rhythmbox on ubuntu laptop like itunes can share between itunes? | 01:23 |
| ActionParsnip | sacarlson: for the share, you'll need an account with a password, I know windows users love to have no passwords | 01:23 |
| sacarlson | ActionParsnip: oh and those *** do I need real passwords? what if my windows has no password? | 01:23 |
| giannis | how can i record a program from tv to my laptop? | 01:23 |
| giannis | ela s parakalw | 01:23 |
| LorgonJortle | So what command can I use to do this manually, as a command? | 01:23 |
| ActionParsnip | sacarlson: yes you'll need real passwords and the account you use will need appropriate rights to the share | 01:24 |
| Lancelot | giannis: if you just want to get video in you can get a capture card | 01:24 |
| sihnu | I tried sudo make uninstall and I reinstalled but now I can't seem to open the program. It reads: bash: /usr/local/bin/ncmpcpp: No such file or directory" | 01:24 |
| giannis | how does it cost? | 01:24 |
| sacarlson | ActionParsnip: ok yes I think that's why I have problems. ok just need a windows with an account got it thanks. hear that LorgonJortle? | 01:24 |
| giannis | it is external?? | 01:24 |
| LorgonJortle | I've an Admin account on the given computer, sacarlson. | 01:25 |
| Lancelot | giannis: it depends on which one you get. They range from about 60 to a few hundred. Not all are external, you can get cards that go in PCI slots, or use USB | 01:25 |
| Faithful | LorgonJortle, you were heading in the right direction with your mount command you just have it complete | 01:25 |
| LorgonJortle | by specifying the sahre... | 01:26 |
| LorgonJortle | share* | 01:26 |
| giannis | how it connect? | 01:26 |
| sacarlson | LorgonJortle: yes but do you have to login at boot? it must have a password on the windows side. | 01:26 |
| sihnu | Hey, I had to just restart terminal. It is working now and is the right version :-) | 01:26 |
| billy__ | hi does anyone know of a gui app for configuring apparmor? | 01:26 |
| UbuntuNoob | what is the command to update sources from terminal? | 01:26 |
| Andrew_708476 | How do I type in Ubuntu Beginers into the Channel | 01:27 |
| LorgonJortle | Faithful: So, //computer-name/Admin$ ?? | 01:27 |
| TiK | sources? dunno | 01:27 |
| TiK | sudo apt-get upgrae does upgrades... | 01:27 |
| Faithful | Yuk no... | 01:27 |
| Faithful | Leanne ? | 01:27 |
| LorgonJortle | Or, it's a folder... | 01:27 |
| DasEi | !register > Andrew_708476 | 01:27 |
| ubottu | Andrew_708476, please see my private message | 01:27 |
| Faithful | LorgonJortle, it is the share name | 01:27 |
| sihnu | oh well, thanks mates! :-) | 01:27 |

| Dravekx | I have lamp installed on ubuntu server. Made a webpage with a form and submit button. can someone tell me how to send it without it asking for a local mail program? | 01:28 |
| Andrew_708476 | I find it difficult | 01:28 |
| Lancelot | giannis: depends on the one you get, some have HDMI, some have component, it varies with each card | 01:28 |
| LorgonJortle | Dravekx: Send it where? | 01:28 |
| DasEi | Andrew_708476 : ask in #freenode for irc-related questions | 01:28 |
| giannis | this card it is ok for ubuntu?? | 01:28 |
| giannis | it depends drivers? | 01:28 |
| Lancelot | it depends on which one you get | 01:29 |
| Lancelot | yes | 01:29 |
| Divecks | hey guys, I'm loving Ubuntu, but not the number of times I'm asked for my password. I get that it makes things more secure, but it gets extremely annoying, and there's almost nothing on my machine of value. Is there any way to stop the constant password prompt boxes (in Lucid)? | 01:29 |
| LorgonJortle | Dravekx: mailto: is going to ask for an application | 01:29 |
| itsux2bu | Dravekx, thats a complex question | 01:29 |
| Faithful | LorgonJortle, you can try but might have to quote or backslash the $ | 01:29 |
| Dravekx | LorgonJortle, I want the information sent to my email account on godaddy. I know the smtp server, but not sure how to make it work. | 01:29 |
| ChogyDan | Dravekx: you might be able to just write a script that logs the answer to a file | 01:29 |
| Lancelot | Dicvecks: the whole point of those, is to provide root access | 01:29 |
| Dravekx | ChogyDan, would that be PHP? | 01:29 |
| itsux2bu | Dravekx, yes | 01:29 |

| n4xus | Yohahw:l please look at your about:plugins in your browser | 01:44 |
| yonahw | n4xus: thanks I appreciate the link but my real concern at the moment isn't so much the speedtest as much as the flash not working | 01:44 |
| ChogyDan | olskolirc: is linux-generic installed? | 01:44 |
| sacarlson | yonahw: it works ok for me 7meg down 1 meg up | 01:44 |
| olskolirc | yes ChogyDan | 01:44 |
| n4xus | OK copy your flash file to your /home/name/.mozillia/plugin directory | 01:44 |
| n4xus | dont for get to set permissions | 01:44 |
| ChogyDan | yonahw: just remove the swf package | 01:45 |
| olskolirc | i chose to "keep" the old kernel by accident ChogyDan when i went from karmic to Lucid | 01:45 |
| n4xus | OK copy your flash file to your /home/name/.mozillia/plugins directory | 01:45 |
| ChogyDan | olskolirc: if you have linux-generic installed, then you should have the new kernel | 01:45 |
| ChogyDan | yonahw: sudo apt-get remove gnash maybe | 01:46 |
| yonahw | I am rather confused, n4xus what is my flash file that I should be copying? ChogyDan what will play flash if I remove the swf package? | 01:46 |
| littlegirl | My son would like to play DVDs in Ubuntu 10.04. He installed ubuntu-restricted-extras. He already had libdvdread4 which the Ubuntu wiki says to install. He then followed the Ubuntu wiki's instructions and typed sudo /usr/share/libdvdread4/install-css.sh and rebooted. He has tried viewing the DVD in Mplayer and VLC and both programs have the same error. He's getting object artifacting (lots of cool little colored blocks moving | 01:46 |
| littlegirl | everywhere, and he can partially see the image beneath them. He also get stuttery sound). Any idea what he should do to fix it? | 01:46 |
| n4xus | Download the flashplayer.so file | 01:46 |
| n4xus | its called libflashplayer.so | 01:46 |

| yonahw | n4xus: firefox seems to see that file libflashplayer | 01:47 |
| n4xus | remember to set your permissions | 01:47 |
| Dr_Willis | littlegirl: personally I Rip dvd'd to avi or other video file formats with Handbreak or other tools. | 01:47 |
| sacarlson | n4xus: the package install should do all that stuf for them. I just installed extras package that includes java and flash | 01:47 |
| n4xus | ok check your permissions yonahw | 01:47 |
| olskolirc | its still the Karmic kernel ChogyDan but I'm on Lucid now. | 01:48 |
| littlegirl | Dr_Willis: Thanks, but what if he wants to watch them from the drive? | 01:48 |
| n4xus | try and give the libflashplayer.so chmod 755 libflashplayer.so | 01:48 |
| yonahw | n4xus: I don't have a .mozilla/plugins I have .mozilla/firefox but no plugins under there either | 01:48 |
| n4xus | OMG I could never get the .deb packages to work for me. | 01:48 |

| n4xus | create a plugins directory in the .mozilla directory | 01:50 |
| sacarlson | yonahw: you should just install the full extras package maybe remove that swf thing you put in not sure. maybe it's just you don't have java installed also. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats | 01:50 |

| ChogyDan | philter: yah, I was wrong on that, I dunno, wait for maverick I guess | 01:58 |
| sacarlson | yonahw: yes you should have | 01:58 |

| UbuntuNoob | edbian: thanks | 01:59 |
| mom | itsux2bu, well it says 50% done because it deleted the existing partition in 6 secs | 01:59 |

| Maletor | edbian: n4xus you guys are right | 02:06 |
| ActionParsnip | linux-dj: its a full release, just the UI is optomised for smaller screens | 02:06 |
| edbian | Maletor, Read the man page about what umount -l does though. | 02:06 |
| Maletor | what does -l do or i can read about it myself | 02:06 |
| edbian | Maletor, I'm right about what? | 02:06 |
| Maletor | edbian: it worked :) | 02:06 |
| olskolirc | yeah im thinking of that ChogyDan do you know how I can reinstall with the Lucid.iso? I don't have a dvd burner | 02:06 |
| edbian | Maletor, -l is lazy un mount. It's in the man page. It says "unmount when you're ready" The fs unmounts itself. | 02:06 |
| yonahw | sacarlson: I have not found it yet but still looking, I see others who have created shell scripts but I would like to inspect first before running | 02:06 |
| linux-dj | ActionParsnip: so as far as trouble shooting is concerned i can count it as a full release | 02:06 |
| edbian | Maletor, It usually works for me too when a fs is "busy" :) | 02:07 |
| n4xus | make sure you dont have anything opened when you umount | 02:07 |
| ActionParsnip | olskolirc: use the universal installer in windows to transfer the iso to usb | 02:07 |

| yonahw | n4xus: speakleasy works | 02:08 |
| ActionParsnip | dualbus: theres ies4linux but its pretty crappy | 02:08 |
| Visitor_19800 | is it possible to emulate mac os in ubuntu or on a pc in general? | 02:08 |
| Maletor | edbian: Then why would opening terminal say: there was an error creating child process for this terminal | 02:08 |
| Dr_Willis | dualbus: the only ie like browser would be IE.. | 02:08 |
| DasEi | dualbus: change plugin useragent of ff | 02:08 |
| Maletor | and my background is gone | 02:08 |
| Maletor | etc. | 02:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Visitor_19800: yes its possible. | 02:09 |
| === Visitor_19800 is now known as BKTech86 | ||
| ActionParsnip | dualbus: if you are web testing it i advise you shell out for an XP license and run IE in that to get an accurate test | 02:09 |
| edbian | Maletor, ha. Perhaps you did! :) | 02:09 |
| n4xus | yonahw are you running virtual box and having problems with flash?? | 02:09 |
| ActionParsnip | BKTech86: it's not legal for one | 02:09 |
| Maletor | edbian: christ. and that means i can't dissasemble my raid because it can't even get bash let along mdadm | 02:09 |
| yonahw | n4xus: no virtualization involved | 02:09 |
| edbian | Did Visitor_198000 quit? | 02:09 |
| n4xus | ok | 02:10 |
| BKTech86 | no | 02:10 |
| BKTech86 | changed nick | 02:10 |
| BKTech86 | its also illegal just for personal use? | 02:10 |
| Maletor | edbian: what's the process for mounting my drives on the live cd and starting up the raid over there. last time i tried to `mount /dev/sda /mnt/sda` it didn't work... | 02:10 |
| edbian | BKTech86, Hi. You can create a virtual machine to run any OS you want. | 02:10 |
| dualbus | ActionParsnip: Thanks, but I don't like Windows, I'll have to stick with browsershots.org | 02:10 |
| ActionParsnip | BKTech86: the apple licnse states the OS can ONLY be installed on apple hardware | 02:10 |
| Dr_Willis | BKTech86: techniocally anything apple says is illeagle . so yes. :) it would be. | 02:10 |
| edbian | Maletor, I don't know how to set up raid :( Never done it! | 02:10 |
| linux-dj | hey guys you dont release mixxx as a comercial product in that someone can sell it do you | 02:11 |
| yonahw | sacarlson: adobe labs closed the 64bit player labs work apparently there were some serious security and performance issues | 02:11 |
| dualbus | Dr_Willis: :( I was hoping there was a IE emulator | 02:11 |
| BKTech86 | edbian, you're saying you can use e.g. VirtuaBox ? | 02:11 |
| Dr_Willis | BKTech86: so if they said you could only run it on every other tuesday... | 02:11 |
| edbian | BKTech86, yes. | 02:11 |
| BKTech86 | hm | 02:11 |
| Dr_Willis | dualbus: how could such a thing even exist and be proven to be accurate? If that was the case then Firefox could just act totally like IE for example. | 02:11 |
| edbian | BKTech86, But it is illegal. And this technically isn't the channel to do it. | 02:11 |
| ActionParsnip | !illegal | 02:11 |
| ubottu | piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music, and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o | 02:11 |
| sacarlson | yonahw: what I had running in a 64bit ubuntu 8.04 was a 32bit version of firefox running. | 02:12 |
| BKTech86 | thanks ppl | 02:12 |
| BKTech86 | <3 irc | 02:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Or at least against the EULA :) | 02:12 |
| Maletor | Does anybody know how to mount 4 hard drives on the live cd and get mdadm goign? | 02:12 |
| edbian | Dr_Willis, You could write firefox or ie entirely in javascript and then run it inside a browser! :) | 02:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Maletor: you dont mount drives, you mount partitions | 02:12 |
| hunterm | hello, i have a question with networkmanager | 02:12 |
| Maletor | ActionParsnip: so `mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1` | 02:12 |
| linux-dj | i was in a store the other day that buys and sells second hand goods they had a product that looked suspiciosley like a copy of mixxx it looked like someone had burned it and sold itto the shop | 02:12 |
| dualbus | Dr_Willis: Yeah, but IE has a different rendering engine, and a lot of different things, a different approach to comply with the standards, and I need to test that | 02:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Maletor: if you want to mount /dev/sda1 sure | 02:13 |
| hunterm | is there any way to use networkmanager from the console? | 02:13 |
| yonahw | sacarlson: I see what you mean, it's certainly a possibility | 02:13 |
| IdleOne | !ot | linux-dj | 02:13 |
| ubottu | linux-dj: #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! | 02:13 |
| dualbus | Dr_Willis: The semantics change between browsers | 02:13 |
| hunterm | when i used arch, there was a cneworkmanager | 02:13 |
| hunterm | i can't find it here | 02:13 |
| ActionParsnip | hunterm: wicd has wicd-curses | 02:13 |
| n4xus | hunterm. Why do you want to do that? | 02:13 |
| sacarlson | yonahw: it worked for me for 2 years | 02:13 |
| hunterm | because, i like using the console :) | 02:14 |
| ActionParsnip | n4xus: ubuntu server has no gui | 02:14 |
| yonahw | I think I am going to leave this alone until my wife complains about something not working for her | 02:14 |
| yonahw | thank you all for your help | 02:14 |
| linux-dj | this isnt a ubuntu question its a question regarding mixxx | 02:14 |
| hunterm | ActionParsnip: i'd rather use networkmanager instead of wicd | 02:14 |
| n4xus | hunter then write bash scripts | 02:14 |
| IdleOne | linux-dj: making it offtopic | 02:14 |
| ActionParsnip | hunterm: not sure then dude | 02:14 |
| hunterm | n4xus: that isn't much help. :( | 02:14 |
| sacarlson | yonahw: it won't take long 70% of sites have flash now. how can you look at youtube? | 02:15 |
| ActionParsnip | n4xus: if you dont use 3G then both are fine | 02:15 |
| n4xus | well have you ever wrote a script? | 02:15 |
| IdleOne | linux-dj: well technically mixxx is not offtopic but the discussion about it being sold in a store is. | 02:15 |
| hunterm | yes | 02:15 |
| n4xus | u can you nano | 02:15 |
| eipi-1 | hey, i want to initiate a gdm-login via ssh. Any ideas on that? | 02:15 |

| fancybit | hello | 02:15 |
| yonahw | sacarlson: flash in general works. youtube, pandora, hulu all work. only problem thus far is speedtest.net | 02:15 |
| hunterm | but, i do not know how to connect or what commands to use in that case | 02:15 |
| ActionParsnip | !info minitube | 02:15 |

| hunterm | n4xus: i know | 02:16 |
| hunterm | but what commands would i use?! | 02:16 |
| hunterm | that's what i'm asking | 02:16 |
| sacarlson | ActionParsnip: oh I didn't know that very cool. that should keep you wife happy yonahw | 02:16 |
| fancybit | helo? | 02:16 |

| yonahw | sacarlson: that's what I'm figuring. If it turns out that the problem is more widespread I will investigate other options | 02:17 |
| ActionParsnip | sacarlson: its great on low end rigs as it doesnt have all the flash / web browser overhead | 02:17 |

| benjamin01 | I'm having an issue where an external drive (powered externally via wallwart) is randomly unmounting. Any ideas what could be wrong? | 02:18 |
| sacarlson | yonahw: try virtualbox it will give you 32bit if she or you really needs it. | 02:18 |
| fancybit | what the last login means? | 02:18 |
| edbian | benjamin01, Start by looking in dmesg. | 02:18 |
| edbian | benjamin01, Sometimes they turn themselves off to save power. | 02:18 |
| ActionParsnip | boobsbr: when it drops, run: dmesg | tail it may give clues | 02:18 |
| benjamin01 | edbian what's dmesg? | 02:18 |
| yonahw | sacarlson: I was planning on checking out virtualbox anyway since I still need to run visual studio from time to time. | 02:18 |
| n4xus | You can configure your network using scripts | 02:18 |
| edbian | benjamin01, type dmesg in the terminal. It's a basic system log. | 02:19 |
| itsux2bu | yonahw, vbox is cool | 02:19 |
| fancybit | 1 | 02:19 |

| hunterm | i'm typing it in now | 02:19 |
| n4xus | ok | 02:19 |
| fancybit | so what should I paste? | 02:20 |

| n4xus | remember to run it like this "./filename.txt" | 02:20 |
| n4xus | proceed it with the ./ | 02:20 |

| Dr_Willis | Im just happy the last laptop i bought worked 100% in Ubuntu with no hassles. :) | 02:23 |
| Dr_Willis | I havent tried the SD slot yet. ... so i guess its 96% actually | 02:23 |

| acovrig | how do I use a bluetooth mouse in icewm without using a mouse to set it up (aka terminal) | 02:23 |
| yonahw | I was running windows until friday and spending most of my time in an ubuntu vm. I finally decided to just pave the machine and install ubuntu as my main os. Haven't setup a vm with windows yet but I imagine it will happen | 02:23 |
| Dr_Willis | ActionParsnip: actually I just picked out the laptop with the best nvidia card.. that just happened to be in my picerange. :) | 02:24 |
| boobsbr | Can't find anything useful in the logs. This was happening a lot before I upgraded (fresh install) from karmic to lucid today, and I could not find anything in the logs either. | 02:24 |
| ActionParsnip | acovrig: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-setup-bluetooth-keyboard-and-mouse-in-ubuntu.html | 02:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: good call | 02:24 |
| fancybit | I install both, boot by grub | 02:24 |
| lahwran | edbian, what's dmesg? | 02:25 |
| Maletor | ActionParsnip: I'm so screwed. I just tried to boot and grub told me I had an unknown filesystem. | 02:25 |
| Maletor | All I did was I was in the live cd's disc utility and I said to start the raid array which seemed to be successful but there was no mount point | 02:26 |
| edbian | lahwran, It's a terminal command. It prints out a list of basic system messages. | 02:26 |
| edbian | lahwran, Helpful for starting the hunt on a problem. | 02:26 |
| Maletor | Is there anyway I can recover my data | 02:26 |
| lahwran | ah. I remember now, I've known that for at least 6 years. | 02:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Maletor: why do you not have a backup!!!?? | 02:26 |
| edbian | lahwran, Usually things that go wrong are posted to dmesg. Most of the things in there are trivial happenings though. | 02:26 |
| acovrig | ActionParsnip: google gave me that, id doesn't work because a)/etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf doesn't exist; b)/etc/init.d/bluez-utils doesn't exits; c)hidd doesn't exist why? | 02:27 |
| Maletor | ActionParsnip: I do... It will take me a few weeks to get back though and it's a few months old but it's way better than nothing. | 02:27 |
| Maletor | ActionParsnip: I would really love to get my data back. | 02:27 |
| ActionParsnip | acovrig: do you have bluez installed? | 02:28 |
| acovrig | ActionParsnip: yes, as far as apt-get says, but nothing seems to be there | 02:28 |
| boobsbr | the networking stops seemed to start happening after 2.6.31-20 | 02:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Maletor: you'll need to recreate the raid in the livecd environment and then get the data from there, you really should keep your backups up to date | 02:28 |
| Maletor | ActionParsnip: I was trying to recreate the RAID but it didn't work. | 02:29 |
| acovrig | ActionParsnip: dpkg --get-selections|grep bluez returns that its installed... | 02:29 |
| gaelsong | libgcflashplayer.so is crashing in chrome anyone have a fix for that? | 02:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Maletor: ive not used software raid in linux, only hardware raid, its much better | 02:29 |
| Maletor | ActionParsnip: tell me about it | 02:29 |
| yonahw | ActionParsnip: what are you using for backups? Do you have an online solution? I used to use Mozy in windows and would love a solution which allows me tons of space for cheap. | 02:30 |
| Dr_Willis | 'redundant stack of usb hard drives' is my backup :) | 02:30 |

| gaelsong | libgcflashplayer.so is crashing in chrome anyone have a fix for that? | 02:31 |
| yonahw | I hear, I don't have an extra hard drive and figure that cloud space is much more likely to have redundant backups and such. | 02:32 |
| ActionParsnip | gaelsong: don't you mean libflashplayer.so | 02:32 |
| ActionParsnip | yonahw: ifits suitable for you, go for it. Dropbox will give you 250Mb free | 02:32 |
| gaelsong | ActionParsnip no, I mean libgcflashplayer.so thats the name of the file as reported by chrome | 02:32 |
| itsux2bu | ok.. what about a usb device.. like my HP all-in-one inkjet printer.. or my logitech orbit at webcam AND mic ? | 02:33 |
| ActionParsnip | gaelsong: i use chrome, let me see if I have the file | 02:33 |
| itsux2bu | *Orbit AF | 02:33 |
| Dr_Willis | itsux2bu: You should go read the virtualbox docs.manual at the vbox homepage. YouMust use the vbox from their download site to acess usb devices like that. | 02:33 |
| gaelsong | am guessing "gc" is for google chrome. its integrated now, instead of the old plugin like firefox uses | 02:34 |
| Dr_Willis | itsux2bu: and you have to configure the Settings to allow access | 02:34 |
| gaelsong | using Google Chrome 5.0.375.127 | 02:34 |
| yonahw | ActionParsnip: thanks I'll have to look at the options. I guess it is likely that the extra hard drive would be a much more economical solution. | 02:34 |
| ActionParsnip | gaelsong: here are all the .so files on my system with "libgc" in them: http://pastebin.com/gL4B9V28 | 02:34 |
| sacarlson | yonahw: for real important stuf I just mail it to myself but there is sync that is cool it only sends what has changed. you can use it on network or to a local hard disk. they have gui for it also. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=604966 | 02:35 |
| arturo393 | how can i disable the keyring ?? | 02:35 |
| gaelsong | ActionParsnip thanks I'll take a look at that. | 02:35 |
| Dr_Willis | arturo393: You can set a blank password. so it dosent popup/ask for the password at login. if thats what you mean.. | 02:35 |
| ActionParsnip | gaelsong: if you move the file do you lose flash? | 02:35 |
| gaelsong | ActionParsnip I haven't tried moving the file yet, some flash players work, others crash | 02:36 |
| gaelsong | about 25% of the flash content I encounter works | 02:36 |
| yonahw | sacarlson: thanks, I am familiar with rsync | 02:36 |

| itsux2bu | ok | 02:38 |
| ActionParsnip | itsux2bu: theres also vlc with vlc-nox | 02:38 |
| Dr_Willis | arturo393: theres guides and forum posts all over the place on how to do it, just google for 'gnome keyring reset' or similer. Or i made a video ages ago at http://drop.io/dr_willis - You use the appliations -> accessories -> keyring tool. RIght click in the right plac . z(over passwords:login) and you get a menu item to change the password | 02:38 |

| wiredvamp | ok how do i get skype? | 02:43 |
| Dr_Willis | !skype | 02:43 |
| ubottu | To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga | 02:43 |
| yayo1 | for web calls wiredvamp use skype | 02:43 |
| wiredvamp | tvm | 02:43 |
| yayo1 | ekiga is good to, takes some getting use to though | 02:44 |
| ActionParsnip | gaelsong: ok then try this: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 02:44 |
| yayo1 | if looking for easy interface use skype | 02:44 |
| sacarlson | ActionParsnip: you mean to have a group conference. your right it only works with one on one | 02:44 |
| Dr_Willis | Use skype to play checkers with the grandkids. :) | 02:44 |
| nyu | i just added a printer to this pc and when i send jobs to it they disappear and nothing prints | 02:44 |
| Dr_Willis | nyu: check the cups logs in /var/logs perhaps. | 02:45 |
| ActionParsnip | nyu: what make / model? | 02:45 |
| yayo1 | that works to Dr_Willis | 02:45 |
| nyu | hp dj d1600 | 02:45 |
| rww | fun fact: "remove --purge is equivalent to the purge command" | 02:45 |
| sacarlson | ActionParsnip: oh and it is propriatary so it's free but not open source if that's what you mean | 02:45 |
| ActionParsnip | sacarlson: sure but i was unaware pidgin could do voice over skype | 02:46 |
| gaelsong | ActionParsnip, result of that command sha256sum mismatch install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz | 02:46 |
| gaelsong | The Flash plugin is NOT installed. | 02:46 |
| ActionParsnip | nyu: could try the latest HPLIP | 02:46 |
| sacarlson | pidgin works with skype with the skype api | 02:46 |
| nyu | i think thats what its using | 02:46 |
| acovrig | how do I adjust mouse sensitivity in the terminal (icewm doesn't have the same menus) | 02:46 |
| ActionParsnip | sacarlson: makes sense, cheers duder | 02:46 |
| acovrig | or just in icewm for that matter | 02:47 |
| ActionParsnip | gaelsong: http://klaith.wordpress.com/2009/04/04/the-flash-plugin-is-not-installed/ | 02:47 |
| Dr_Willis | acovrig: icewm has its own settigns/configs. there used to be a GUI config for icewm in teh repos.. but iove not tried it in ages. | 02:47 |
| gaelsong | ActionParsnip, not that it would matter that much I don't think, Google Chrome has Flash Integrated 5.0.375.127 so it doesn't use the external plugin | 02:47 |
| ActionParsnip | gaelsong: not sure then. I use chromium daily and its flawless | 02:48 |
| gaelsong | ActionParsnip, yeah I do to, on all but this computer. /shrug, first time I've had this happen | 02:49 |
| gaelsong | need to reload Ubuntu on this machine anyway. Guess Tuesday I'll get a 6 pack and get after it. | 02:49 |
| Jake2|cfl | Boot failed during fsck. Says do manually. Boot live CD. "sudo fsck /dev/sda1" fails: no hda1. How do I find name of partition? | 02:49 |
| Snug | can anyone help with gnome power manager error? | 02:49 |
| sacarlson | gaelsong: I think chromium might have flash in it. when my firefox crashes sometimes on some sites like youtube I bring up chromium and it works. | 02:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Jake2|cfl: sudo fdisk -l will list all partitions | 02:50 |
| gaelsong | sacarlson lol, i've been having to do the exact opposite on this machine only, when chrome has a flash crash i pull the site up in FF, I'm going to upgrade Ubuntu on Tuesday anyway, so it'll likely work itself out when I do that. | 02:50 |
| wiredvamp | can skype be use though pidgin? | 02:50 |
| Jake2|cfl | ActionParsnip: even when botted from the live CD? | 02:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Jake2|cfl: its the same thing, one just runs from the internal drive, one uses a ramdisk | 02:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Jake2|cfl: otherwise the OS is exactly the same | 02:51 |
| Jake2|cfl | ActionParsnip: ok will try | 02:51 |
| sacarlson | wiredvamp: yes but not sure why you would want to | 02:52 |
| ActionParsnip | sacarlson: i only use chromium, its flawless and rips the pants off firefox | 02:52 |
| ActionParsnip | sacarlson: couple it with a local dns and nice extra broadband options in sysctl.conf and you have a winner | 02:52 |
| sacarlson | ActionParsnip: but I can't use my ruby watir autimation with chromium, or just not yet. | 02:52 |
| olskolirc | I put Lucid.iso on my flash drive and I want it to boot and it brought me back here - how do I boot this iso | 02:53 |
| thune3 | !ask | Snug | 02:53 |
| ubottu | Snug: 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. :-) | 02:53 |
| nyu | i use seamonkey, then whenever i mention it no one knows what im talking about | 02:53 |
| wiredvamp | so i could use the video call though yahoo messager | 02:53 |
| ActionParsnip | olskolirc: you dont just copy the iso to the device, its needs transferring in a special way | 02:54 |
| Maletor | How can I recreate my RAID on live cd? | 02:54 |
| olskolirc | how ActionParsnip | 02:54 |
| olskolirc | oh wait i think i have a tool to make a usb | 02:54 |
| ActionParsnip | olskolirc: if you have a windows PC then pendrivelinux have a universal ISO copier, Ubuntu has usb-creator-gtk which can transfer the iso over so it is bootable | 02:54 |
| ActionParsnip | peace out kids, its 3am | 02:55 |

| n0body | a workaround to get on-line with Ubuntu using usb modems which are not recognized by Ubuntu: -stick usb dongle in windows, open dongle properties under "my computer" and disable usb storage device so that only modem is not disabled.. - next: while still connected to Internet leave the dongle inside the usb (do not disconnect), put in cd-drive Ubuntu and install the system side by side with windows by resizing the windows partition, when you log | 03:00 |
| n0body | into the new Ubuntu the usb dongle will get connected and online by itself.. | 03:00 |

| bilderbergs | the most linux exp i have is with backtrack4 crackin WEP keys | 03:59 |
| xangua | bilderbergs: if you have a question related to ubuntu go ahead, if not then try #ubuntu-offtopic and stop that !language | 03:59 |
| smil3y | wiredvamp> yeah, the icon that says "reload" towards the top of the synaptic window | 03:59 |
| coz_ | twig_, since I am the channel's doof on networking issues I would check at the ##linux channel | 03:59 |

| coz_ | twig_, however... if they help solve this ...i would apprciate let us know :) | 04:00 |
| twig_ | np | 04:00 |
| wiredvamp | it didnt work | 04:00 |
| IdleOne | bilderbergs: it is channel policy. Please follow the rules | 04:00 |
| coz_ | bilderbergs, well this has been a family channel for about 6 years now... :) | 04:00 |
| tanath | anyone? | 04:00 |
| smil3y | wiredvamp> what didnt work? reload? | 04:00 |
| bilderbergs | he young do u expect ppl to be here , not many even know wat irc is let alone ubuntu. we got 10 years old in here ? | 04:00 |
| MaRk-I | bilderbergs: are you 12? | 04:00 |
| wiredvamp | smil3y> yes | 04:00 |
| coz_ | tanath, sorry I didnt see your question | 04:00 |
| xangua | (21:50:45) MaRk-I: wiredvamp: type this in console: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:baudm/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gyachi | 04:00 |
| bilderbergs | im 23 and also from NY | 04:01 |
| tanath | coz_, i have a couple packages i can't install or remove. basically this problem: http://casedogdesigns.com/wordpress/ubuntu-inconsistent-apt-get-state/ | 04:01 |
| smil3y | wiredvamp> type gyachi in the search window in synaptic | 04:01 |
| bilderbergs | any1 use BT4 ? | 04:01 |
| IdleOne | bilderbergs: they do in #backtrack-linux | 04:01 |
| bilderbergs | i just might switch to ubuntu as my main o.s | 04:01 |
| ianwizard1 | bilderbergs: as my emergency distro. always on my flash drive on my keyring. | 04:02 |
| wiredvamp | oK | 04:02 |
| tanath | if anyone knows how to forcibly remove the packages and fix the inconsistent state, it'd be much appreciated | 04:03 |
| coz_ | tanath, ok well one thing to do is places/search for files and type in the name of the app and search in both file system and usr..then open terminal sudo rm -rf place and name of file its slow but it might do the trick just dont use spaces like /usr/share nameof file instead /usr/share/nameoffile | 04:03 |
| coz_ | brb nature call | 04:03 |
| d3s3rt3gl | how to shutdown frozen ubuntu ?? | 04:03 |
| IdleOne | d3s3rt3gl: alt-sysrq-k | 04:03 |
| ianwizard1 | d3s3rt3gl: press and hold the power button. | 04:03 |
| rww | !reisub | 04:03 |
| ubottu | In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 04:03 |
| rww | IdleOne: iirc, that kills the current program, it doesn't shutdown | 04:03 |
| rww | ianwizard1: not the best first step ;P | 04:04 |
| ianwizard1 | d3s3rt3gl: if Ubuntu freezes, there's usually no comming back | 04:04 |
| IdleOne | rww: it restarts X from what I understand | 04:04 |
| Bynw | my computer clock seems to be out of sync ... i'm attempting to run ntpdate from the terminal but i get the following error: 22 Aug 21:59:02 ntpdate[2392]: bind() fails: Permission denied | 04:04 |
| wiredvamp | smil3y now what? | 04:04 |
| TemperingPick_ | d3s3rt3gl: Can't you just hold the power button down? | 04:04 |
| rww | IdleOne: ah, I checked, it kills everything on the current virtual console. if X is on your current virtual console, then yeah. | 04:04 |
| IdleOne | rww: often times that is all that is needed and not a shutdown/reboot | 04:05 |
| ianwizard1 | rww: if he can't do anything, then that's about it. I assume (probably a mistake) that he can't Ctrl-Alt-F2 | 04:05 |
| IdleOne | but reisub is always good to remember :) | 04:05 |
| smil3y | wiredvamp> did gyachi show up in the window as being able to install? | 04:05 |
| === ianwizard1 is now known as ianwizard | ||
| rww | ianwizard1: the factoid ubottu gave will restart safely, and allow the filesystem to sync properly. manually powering off won't. | 04:05 |
| wiredvamp | i am not sure what would it look like ? | 04:05 |
| smil3y | wiredvamp> ? have you ever installed a program before through synaptic? | 04:06 |
| wiredvamp | no | 04:06 |
| smil3y | wiredvamp> what happened when you typed gyachi in the search window on synaptic | 04:06 |
| xangua | wiredvamp: have you already do what MaRk-I told you¿ | 04:07 |
| coz_ | tanath, actually..better still gksudo nautilus then hunt down the files and delete them from there | 04:07 |
| d3s3rt3gl | reisub worked | 04:07 |
| boobsbr | Blue1: have you seen this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8124833&postcount=294 | 04:07 |
| wiredvamp | smil3y it poped up a list | 04:07 |
| smil3y | wiredvamp> you know. the "search" bar at the top of the synaptic window? | 04:07 |
| wiredvamp | yes | 04:07 |
| coz_ | tanath, could you tell me again the packages you installed that are giving you issues?? | 04:07 |
| smil3y | wiredvamp> and is gyachi listed in that list? | 04:07 |
| wiredvamp | yes | 04:07 |
| MaRk-I | wiredvamp: select all except gyachi xmms plugin | 04:08 |
| smil3y | wiredvamp> so check the box next to gyachi and click "apply" | 04:08 |
| tanath | coz_, python-wxgtk2.8 & python-wxversion | 04:08 |
| wiredvamp | ok | 04:08 |
| smil3y | wiredvamp> trying to be patient here, but its really not rocketscience | 04:09 |
| coz_ | tanath, ok thanks ... I am going to check these out while you do that | 04:09 |
| tanath | coz_, tried to use the crash report that came up to report bug, but it gave me invalid openid token or something | 04:09 |
| wiredvamp | now what? | 04:09 |
| coz_ | tanath, did you install these via synaptic ? | 04:09 |
| smil3y | wiredvamp> your done. its installed | 04:10 |
| tanath | coz_, they were dependencies from other things.. | 04:10 |
| wiredvamp | ok | 04:10 |
| tanath | coz_, i typically use aptitude | 04:10 |
| smil3y | wiredvamp> now goto applications> internet, and start it | 04:10 |
| wiredvamp | tvm | 04:10 |
| coz_ | tanath, do you remember which things these were dependencies for? | 04:10 |

| asdf_baron | Would you guys know what would cause https only to fail? | 04:13 |
| IanWizard | is there some way to record audio that is being played / output | 04:14 |
| thune3 | Bynw: i would guess ntpd is already running. you can check "ps aux | grep ntp" | 04:14 |
| jk_ | asdf_baron: if your firewall is blocking its port that could cause it. | 04:14 |
| asdf_baron | does ubuntu have a firewall in a default install? | 04:15 |
| IanWizard | Bynw, thune3: or just pgrep ntpd (or pgrep -l ntpd) | 04:15 |
| xangua | !firewall | asdf_baron | 04:15 |
| ubottu | asdf_baron: 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. | 04:15 |

| asdf_baron | same problem across the board | 04:21 |
| coz_ | Flynsarmy, ok that seems like it would be large enough...what that means though is the 8192 is a hardware limitiation on the card...your resolutions cannot excede that in any one direction combined | 04:22 |

| Omen_20 | xangua, i think i might have found the issue. I was trying Google Talk in iGoogle. In GMail it seems like it might work. At least looks different. | 04:24 |
| coz_ | Flynsarmy, I know you did this already ....but when you installed the nvidia driver you rebooted ....yes? | 04:24 |
| asdf_baron | local cert problem? as in certificate? What would I do about it | 04:24 |
| tanath | coz_, this has been holding up my updates for a while, so it'll be a couple mins before i find out if it can fix it now... | 04:24 |
| th0r | anthony_: you might try toning it down if youwant a response | 04:24 |
| jk_ | anthony_:Open synaptic, click the "custom filters" button, and select "broken" which should show you the broken package in the file window, and let you fix or delete it. | 04:24 |
| coz_ | tanath, ok | 04:24 |
| Flynsarmy | coz_: yep | 04:24 |
| smil3y | wiredvamp> click "setup" on top of gyach window, towrds bottom shows you the webcam feature | 04:24 |
| coz_ | Flynsarmy, and you used nvidia-settings to test and check the monitor resolutions and set twinview? | 04:24 |
| Flynsarmy | coz_: there's an 'overscan compression' setting i can change for the external in nvidia-settings that gets me the left side of the screen back but at teh expense of having the right, top and bottom shrunk down | 04:24 |
| anthony_ | i can't even use synaptic i dose not open. god | 04:24 |
| reya276 | here is the output of my dmesg http://www.pastebin.org/740097 | 04:24 |
| Flynsarmy | coz_: yes | 04:25 |
| Flynsarmy | coz_: wait...winview? | 04:25 |
| coz_ | Flynsarmy, rather "twinview" | 04:25 |
| coz_ | sorry | 04:25 |
| coz_ | new keyboard | 04:25 |

| anthony_ | th0r: i can't even use synaptic i dose not open. god | 04:25 |
| Flynsarmy | coz_: yep, its on twinview | 04:25 |
| Flynsarmy | coz_: another quirk of the nvidia-settings is that i can zoom on my laptops screen but not hte external with compiz | 04:26 |
| th0r | anthony_: if god is helping there isn't anything else I can do for you | 04:26 |
| tanath | coz_, ok, i seem to have fixed them all now :) | 04:26 |
| anthony_ | jk: i can't even use synaptic i dose not open. god | 04:26 |
| tanath | coz_, thanks | 04:26 |
| coz_ | Flynsarmy, ok this is puzzling and since I have never had the opportunity to actually work with laptops i cannot troubleshoot this however perhaps the #ubuntu-x channel can help? | 04:26 |
| coz_ | Flynsarmy, or even #nvidia channel | 04:26 |
| Flynsarmy | coz_: I'll give them a shot. thanks | 04:26 |
| cyberjorge | Hi, I need to migrate a cpanel add-on domain to its own account on another server | 04:27 |
| coz_ | Flynsarmy, if you find a solution i would like to know what that is if you dont mind :) | 04:27 |
| cyberjorge | is it possible to migrate emails from one server to another including its credentials? I have moved the /home/mail already, anything else? | 04:27 |
| asdf_baron | do you know what program deals with ssl connections? | 04:27 |
| jk_ | anthony_: try "apt-get -f" which is supposed to do the same thing but works from the command line. | 04:27 |
| Flynsarmy | coz_: will do | 04:27 |

| zinny | I'm building ubuntu from the ground up. What package do I need to install to be able to automatically install .deb files? | 04:29 |
| rooks | zinny theres minimal ubuntu cd | 04:30 |
| rooks | forgot its proper name, it gives you only installer and needed stuff for it | 04:30 |
| reya276 | here is the output for my HDMI http://www.pastebin.org/740209 | 04:30 |
| maco | !mini | zinny | 04:30 |
| ubottu | zinny: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 04:30 |
| zinny | maco, i used that | 04:30 |
| [--X--] | hi, I need to install a driver? for lexmark x1270 which is z600cups and it requires libcupsys2 as a dependecy which have been replaced by something else in 10.04. is there a way to make a sym link onto the new one? Thanx | 04:31 |
| zinny | what package do i need now for installing .debs? | 04:31 |
| rooks | dpkg ? | 04:31 |
| Aliselyn | hi, I was wondering if anyone here knows much about getting a dialup connection running in 10.04. | 04:31 |
| smil3y | zinny> its installed by default dpkg | 04:31 |
| thune3 | asdf_baron: ipv6 and proxy are two other possible angles. (ipv6 seemed like an old problem though) | 04:31 |
| IanWizard | zinny: .deb files can be installed with dpkg or gdebi | 04:31 |

| IanWizard | zinny: I suggest gdebi, since it has a gui also | 04:32 |
| reya276 | MaRk-I: Yes | 04:32 |
| asdf_baron | I'm thinking ipv6 could have something to do with it. I was having some problems a while ago and disabled ipv6 in firefox.. That fixed my connection problems temporarily | 04:32 |
| smil3y | zinny> download a deb to your desktop, double click it, what happends? | 04:32 |
| asdf_baron | now whether it's enabled or not I still have this problem | 04:32 |
| zinny | thanks IanWizard | 04:32 |
| IanWizard | zinny: no prob (P.S. they are both already installed, just type gdebi-gtk) | 04:33 |

| Barnabas | zzzed, in DK theres quite a lot :-) | 04:46 |
| zzzed | Barnabas, oh ok | 04:46 |
| Vovk | also has nobody else experienced the problem where a laptop (running on AC power) always suspends after 5 minutes even though that option has been disabled in the power manager? (ubuntu 10.04) | 04:46 |
| wiredvamp | gyache is not working right | 04:46 |
| thune3 | asdf_baron: you could temporarily try 'echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6' , restart networking and see if it's any better. | 04:46 |
| MaRk-I | Vovk: also check screensaver settings | 04:47 |
| wiredvamp | it is going on-line then off-line | 04:47 |
| Vovk | Mark | 04:47 |
| asdf_baron | i seem to have done something stupid, i went for apt-get remove libssl-dev | 04:47 |
| Vovk | i feel stupid | 04:47 |
| wiredvamp | and it is not stopping | 04:47 |
| Vovk | thank you | 04:47 |
| Barnabas | zzzed, traffic on the public ip directed directly onto the pc nic | 04:47 |
| asdf_baron | which removed it.. but now i can't reinstall it | 04:47 |

| sacarlson | asdf_baron: do you have this port 443 problem when you use the live boot cd in try mode? | 04:48 |
| Barnabas | xomp-ubuntu, unetbootin | 04:48 |
| Vovk | xomp you can do this with the startup disc creator iirc... or something like that lemme check. i think it's built in to the default install | 04:48 |
| dimz | Would Xen be the best choice to setup a virtual desktop for windows 7 for gaming? | 04:48 |
| dimz | or should I just rock wine? | 04:48 |
| xomp-ubuntu | Barnabas, cheers | 04:48 |
| smil3y | wiredvamp> make sure that where you type your username in, below that you are using this server scsa.msg.yahoo.com | 04:48 |
| wiredvamp | ok how do i check that? | 04:49 |
| cfedde | dimz: if you are serious about windows online games then you probably don't want to do it in emulation. | 04:49 |
| MaRk-I | smil3y: I still think he's logged in somewhere else... yahoo mail perhaps, has it's own lil chat thing in it | 04:49 |
| Funhouse | anyone else have issues getting VPN to work with 10.4? | 04:49 |
| Vovk | dimz what games are you going to play? | 04:49 |
| dimz | There is only two that I play css and tf2 | 04:49 |
| Vovk | dimz I've had mixed results with tf2 on linux | 04:49 |
| asdf_baron | the annoying this is, traceroute for these websites which don't work in browser complete succesfully in terminal | 04:50 |
| dimz | i can give them up, i do not want to run windows on any comp ever again | 04:50 |
| gerald309 | gotta a Netbook (windows) destroyed in corruption, no way to access in BIOS want 2 install....CONT'D | 04:50 |
| Vovk | it all depends on your setup. sometimes it runs smoother than windows and sometimes it's crap | 04:50 |
| smil3y | MaRk-I> probbly. i had the same problem last week, changed servers and it works fine now | 04:50 |
| Vovk | since css is the same engine i think it would be similar | 04:50 |
| gerald309 | want 2 install Linux... any way to wipe the disk to install linux ? | 04:50 |

| Vovk | Virtualbox !good for gaming iirc | 04:53 |
| asdf_baron | a bunch of ip addresses and times | 04:53 |
| Vovk | since it has to create a virtual video card | 04:53 |
| asdf_baron | not quite sure what they mean | 04:53 |

| boobsbr | How can I change the automount settings for all USB drives from 'sync' to 'async'? | 04:53 |
| cfedde | dimz: the biggest problem with games is that they typicaly make lots of assumptions about access to the hardware. | 04:53 |
| Vovk | especially with intel's virtualization integration or whatever they call it | 04:54 |
| dmex | asdf_baron: did you try reinstalling using the command I gave you? | 04:54 |
| asdf_baron | so remove and install right | 04:54 |
| jen_h | asdf_baron: this is an old thread, but good, if you haven't seen it before: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=159661 | 04:54 |
| Vovk | still if you have a copy of the OS that the game was programmed for | 04:54 |
| Vovk | you're going to have better results than an emulator or a VM | 04:54 |
| dimz | Yeah, games are not too big of a deal for me, just would have been nice. I am trying to get more into development and security pen so I shouldn't be wasting my time with them anyways | 04:54 |
| cfedde | dimz: Virtualbox and Xen will probably work. | 04:54 |
| Vovk | for TF2? | 04:54 |
| Vovk | i doubt they would do that | 04:55 |
| Vovk | maybe for AoE2.... | 04:55 |
| cfedde | they both present idealized hardware. | 04:55 |
| sacarlson | asdf_baron: you should pastebin all the info and let us look at it, ifconfig, route, iptables -L -t nat --line-number, iptables -L | 04:55 |
| djrickkk | ALGUM BRASILEIRO AQUI? | 04:55 |
| asdf_baron | Yo dmex should i uninstall even though terminal tells me it's potentially harmful? kindve an intimidating message | 04:55 |
| Vovk | asdf what? | 04:55 |
| cfedde | and so with a big enough multicore system with plenty of ram you might get reasonable game performance from a virtualized platform. | 04:56 |
| Vovk | ah iptables... i have no knowledge beyond basic stuff with iptables ;_; nvm | 04:56 |
| Vovk | cfedde that's just because you would be able to spare resources for an uber virtual CPU and video card | 04:56 |
| dmex | asdf_baron, yes | 04:56 |
| Vovk | cfedde, kind of brute-forcing it.... | 04:56 |

| Vovk | cfedde, the thing is that your game would send commands to your guest windows OS, which would send commands to the virtual hardware, which would send commands to the VM, which would send commands to the Host OS, which would then send commands to your hardware... and then all the output would come back the same way | 04:57 |
| Vovk | it's a very long chain... | 04:57 |
| wiredvamp | and where do u install that? | 04:57 |
| MaRk-I | wiredvamp: same way you installed gyachi........ search, select to install, click apply | 04:58 |
| Vovk | it's not bad when you're hosting a webserver or something... but rendering graphics is much more intensive, ya? | 04:58 |
| wiredvamp | ok ty | 04:58 |
| cfedde | Vovk: that's not exactly how hypervisors typicaly work. they don't so much emulate the hardware as use the CPU's virtualization features. | 04:59 |
| tantiv | How do I add a gnome autostart for all users? | 04:59 |
| Vovk | much better to cut as many middlemen as possible and go for a dual boot. think of the windows partition as a gaming console | 04:59 |
| boobsbr | How can I change the automount settings for all USB drives from 'sync' to 'async'? | 04:59 |
| UbuntuNoob | hey is there a force quit sort of option for programs or some sort of terminal command line for it? i installed blender and cant close it now | 04:59 |
| Vovk | cfedde, srry. i didn't know so much, it was my understanding that the hypervisor creates a virtual version of all required hardware for the guest to use? | 04:59 |
| wiredvamp | that didnt work | 04:59 |
| asdf_baron | right so pastebin apparently doesn't work | 04:59 |
| asdf_baron | as in... I hit submit and it hangs | 05:00 |
| sacarlson | boobsbr: I don't know how but I do know where, /etc/fstab file | 05:00 |
| wiredvamp | i searched for it and nothing | 05:00 |
| zzzed | UbuntuNoob, open a terminal, type xkill, then click on the window you want killed | 05:00 |
| UbuntuNoob | right on thanks | 05:00 |

| wiredvamp | MaRk-I that would be nice | 05:05 |
| ilovegoogleandub | itsux2bu: all depends on your video card and the drivers and the monitor connected | 05:05 |

| yondering | so I have a weird one.. already fixed but I'm puzzled at what would have caused it. 32-bit lucid installed on the box, with /home on /dev/sda6. Duplicate, empty /home directory on /dev/sdb1 - with identical UUID. Why? | 05:05 |
| hiku | scampbell: I use google about 30% of the time for most of the questions in here. | 05:05 |
| MaRk-I | wiredvamp: just to make sure, you installed the w32codecs and still says you're missing them? | 05:06 |
| yondering | home partition rather. | 05:06 |
| UbuntuNoob | i need help finding my shared itunes music in rhythmbox how do i do that? | 05:06 |
| hiku | yondering: left over from old install? | 05:06 |

| jack | hi all | 05:06 |
| wiredvamp | i could find then at all how could i install then??? | 05:06 |

| hiku | *is | 05:07 |
| ppman|lap | jack: for what? | 05:07 |
| MaRk-I | wiredvamp: huh? did you or not? | 05:07 |
| UbuntuNoob | also i used xkill and clicked on the blender window and its still there | 05:07 |
| yondering | hiku, thanks anyway.. was an easy fix once I saw what happened, but I'm still trying to wrap my little brain around the how/why of it ;) | 05:07 |
| UbuntuNoob | and i uninstalled the software but it still has an open window | 05:07 |
| UbuntuNoob | maybe restart? | 05:07 |

| MaRk-I | !w32codecs | wiredvamp | 05:08 |
| ubottu | wiredvamp: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 05:08 |
| hiku | yondering: yea that would drive me nuts too. =) good luck, and... if you do find out what happened, maybe you could post it on the forums just so the info is out there. | 05:08 |
| ppman|lap | so reboot is easiest | 05:08 |
| smil3y | wiredvamp> you need to read this page, it explains howto install w32codecs | 05:08 |

| dontput | ppman|lap, all OS? | 05:10 |
| ppman|lap | or just regular tools like dd and cat and stuff | 05:10 |
| ppman|lap | you get just a disk image, so why not? | 05:11 |
| wiredvamp | y is that????? | 05:11 |
| dontput | tried the systemrescuecd but during an image copy it saves a huge amount of image ;( | 05:11 |

| wiredvamp | MaRk-I: i dont think u did | 05:12 |
| sacarlson | Guest81678: I use vuze but that's only good for download with torrents | 05:12 |
| drewdatrip | Anyone have a good resource to find Ubuntu 10.04 on a newsgroup server. The ftp or http download is relly slow for me | 05:13 |
| thune3 | yondering: there are only two options really: that they were both set to same UUID at their independent creations, or you at one time you copied (dd for instance), from one partition to the other. (btw, UUID is a property of the filesystem) | 05:13 |
| Guest81678 | jdownloader thx all i willtry it :) | 05:13 |
| xangua | what predicaments UbuntuNoob¿ | 05:13 |
| MaRk-I | wiredvamp: yes I did first thing I said... "only in chat rooms" for voice | 05:13 |
| MaRk-I | drewdatrip: try torrent | 05:14 |
| UbuntuNoob | xangua, im trying to get my shared itunes music to appear in rhythmbox and i went to the connect to daap server or whatever it is and im not sure what to enter to make it work correctly | 05:14 |

| Aliselyn | is anyone here able to help me out with getting dialup running on my laptop with 10.04? I'm having some driver issues | 05:14 |
| yondering | thune3, thanks.. :) I can't remember ever doing any of those, but no harm done. This was a box that rarely (if ever) gets rebooted, and apparently it picked the empty /home partition today instead of the usual one. | 05:14 |
| ppman|lap | Aliselyn: what modem? | 05:14 |
| MaRk-I | wiredvamp: I said.... webcam works and voice "only in chat rooms" so please dont make me repeat | 05:15 |
| Aliselyn | ppman|lap: CXT AC-Link Modem | 05:15 |
| thune3 | yondering: there is a third option: that you were modifying UUIDs at one point (using tune2fs) and you accidently changed the wrong one too. | 05:15 |
| mek||malloc | I noticed there's a ~/.tilda/config_0 script for tilda... Is there a way to have screen automatically open within tilda upon startup? | 05:15 |
| purrdeta | Any reason opening programs would freeze the entire system for a few seconds while the program loads? | 05:15 |
| wiredvamp | MaRk-I: i see | 05:15 |
| mek||malloc | purrdeta: Tons of reasons? It could have a high priority on your scheduler. | 05:16 |
| Rummage | Hello, I'm having trouble with what windows terms "Internet Connection Sharing", in that my ubuntu laptop is connected via an ethernet cable to my WinXP tower, which is in tern connected via modem to the internet. It worked for about five hours, but has suddenly ceased functioning and I cannot think of anything having been done which could have caused a problem. | 05:16 |
| purrdeta | hmm Well, this is a new install | 05:16 |
| MaRk-I | wiredvamp: you want both, not yahoo try skype | 05:16 |
| smil3y | purrdeta> you using compiz on a low powered system? | 05:16 |
| purrdeta | ooh perhaps. Let me check | 05:16 |
| mek||malloc | Rummage: Are you talking about some type of file server? Take a look at samba or nfs (both have great tutorials online) | 05:16 |
| yondering | thune3, that is a possibility I suppose.. I'm not the only one with access to this box in question. | 05:16 |
| mek||malloc | Rummage: If you right click on a directory while in the gnome desktop environment, you should be able to select 'share this file' or some such. | 05:17 |
| ppman|lap | Aliselyn: I'm not on ubuntu - got a package named ac97-modem? | 05:17 |
| wiredvamp | MaRk-I: will video calls (cam and voice together) work in a im? | 05:17 |
| Rummage | No, that's not really what I'm on about. | 05:17 |
| smil3y | purrdeta> does it even sometimes on my dualcore | 05:17 |
| purrdeta | system isnt that low but still | 05:17 |
| purrdeta | yeah | 05:17 |
| purrdeta | I turned "visual effects" to none | 05:17 |
| mek||malloc | Oh, you want your windows box to act as a router | 05:17 |
| purrdeta | I dont really need them. Lets check if that helped | 05:17 |
| Aliselyn | ppman|lap: no, I do not | 05:17 |
| purrdeta | it did it seems | 05:18 |
| purrdeta | <3 smil3y | 05:18 |
| MaRk-I | wiredvamp: just webcam no voice in IM | 05:18 |
| mek||malloc | Sorry*, Rummage: You want your windows machine to act as a routeR? | 05:18 |
| Rummage | Windows has this feature called Internet Connection sharing, where Computer B on a network, say LAN, can use computer A's internet connection. | 05:18 |
| smil3y | purrdeta> np | 05:18 |
| Aliselyn | ppman|lap: should I get and install that? | 05:18 |
| MaRk-I | wiredvamp: you talking about gyachi or skype? | 05:18 |
| yondering | thune3, although the primary users of said box are my retired parents, and well.. one has trouble finding the caps lock key, and the other is just discovering the wonders of google earth.. I can't imagine either of them playing with tune2fs or dd o_0 | 05:18 |
| mek||malloc | Rummage: I wouldn't trust windows for anything. Especially networking. I suggest asking the windows folks. | 05:18 |
| ppman|lap | no, because apparently they opened a sourceforge project and didn't do anything | 05:18 |
| itsux2bu | my monitor and NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT vid card can do 1680 x 1050 in windows.. i want to get 64-bit ubuntu desktop to the same res level.. how do i go about doing that? | 05:18 |
| Rummage | I'm betting windows is at fault, but I still can't figure out why it would quit suddenly with no changes. | 05:18 |
| Rummage | I mean, I actually managed to use it to update Synaptic and install VLC :\ | 05:19 |
| mek||malloc | Rummage: I don't know why you're asking a car mechanic to fix your broken television set. | 05:19 |
| wiredvamp | MaRk-I: ok i am looking for a program that will do both in i an im not just vid | 05:19 |
| imnichol | Holy crap, I'm failing hard in my quest to find a caldav server for ubuntu | 05:20 |
| Rummage | Because there are car mechanics around, and the TV repairman show's up days late and with terrible advice. | 05:20 |
| denysonique | itsux2bu, your resolution is not available in settings riht? | 05:20 |
| denysonique | right | 05:20 |
| jshsu|alt | i just upgraded to lucid from karmic, and my usb wasn't working, added an AutoAddDevice False to my xorg, and got mouse working, but keyboard isn't, any help? | 05:20 |
| denysonique | Rummage, stay on topic | 05:20 |
| Blue1 | is there an m4v player (podcast player) for ubuntu? | 05:20 |
| mek||malloc | Rummage: Fine, fair enough. My suggestion is to format that windows machine and but some flavor of GNU Linux on it. | 05:20 |
| thune3 | yondering: a fourth option would involve a split raid-1 array, but that would be tough.... The ususal reason of this UUID issue is copying of a partition (perhaps during a partition move). | 05:20 |
| zzzed | Rummage, did you try rebooting your windoze box? | 05:20 |
| wiredvamp | MaRk-I: that will work with yahoo im or something like logitech Vid | 05:20 |
| denysonique | Blue1, mplayer, vlc should be able to play that | 05:20 |
| Rummage | zzzed: It looks like that's my only recourse. | 05:21 |
| Blue1 | denysonique: okay let me try vlc thanks. | 05:21 |
| mek||malloc | Rummage: You haven't tried restarting the machine?... | 05:21 |
| denysonique | Blue1, np | 05:21 |
| MaRk-I | wiredvamp: skype, no | 05:21 |
| Rummage | mek: It's a thing of last resort, as you may be familiar, windows machines are terribly ornery when it comes to rebooting. | 05:21 |
| wiredvamp | MaRk-I: that will not cost me to use | 05:21 |
| yondering | thune3, it's been a while, I could've copied the partition at one time or other. | 05:21 |
| mek||malloc | Rummage: I think that's the first thing I'd retry. | 05:22 |
| === jshsu|alt is now known as jshsu | ||
| Rummage | Well, see, it takes longer to reboot than it has taken to ascertain that's the only idea we've got here. | 05:22 |
| mek||malloc | Rummage: Either that or ipconfig /release all and then try to renew your network information | 05:22 |
| Rummage | Thanks anyhow. | 05:22 |

| skumara | Ologn, how to move grub from sda1 to let say sda6? | 05:39 |
| denysonique | UbuntuNoob, I wouldn't be suprprised if Apple had the ability to delete any song from your iTunes. For example if they thought your music was illegal. | 05:39 |
| Ologn | skumara: grub-install /dev/sda6 | 05:40 |
| UbuntuNoob | denysonique: what do you mean proprietary software? | 05:40 |
| _pg_ | denysonique, paranoid much? | 05:40 |
| Ologn | skumaraq: Read the man page for grub-install | 05:40 |
| denysonique | _pg_, Amazon already done things like that with its Kindle | 05:40 |
| boobsbr | wow, my read speeds seem horrible | 05:40 |
| Ologn | skumara: Also read the update-grub man page as well...but a privileged user who does grub-install /dev/sda6 should do it | 05:40 |
| _pg_ | denysonique, Apple loves it's customers and would not do anything that drastic to violoate their trust | 05:41 |

| Need4Feed | and you are talking to it | 05:45 |
| _pg_ | Dasda, nvidia geforce 5200- lol but hardware drivers usually finds it | 05:45 |
| Jordan_U | skumara: You almost never want to install grub to a partition boot record, instead you should install grub to the master boot record (mbr). | 05:45 |
| boobsbr | DasEi: just did that, cached reads @ 3202.41 MB/sec, buffered reads @ 101.01 MB/sec | 05:45 |
| Need4Feed | _pg_ that should be the 73 or 85 driver? | 05:45 |
| Need4Feed | they'll be in synaptic | 05:45 |
| DasEi | _pg_: yes, that should work with jockey-gtk, but can also manually do it | 05:45 |
| boobsbr | DasEi: are these normal speeds? | 05:45 |
| skumara | Jordan_U, the problem is my mbr is in sda1 which has a spoiled version of ubuntu. i want to recover that space now. but my current grub is installed there. | 05:46 |
| _pg_ | Need4Feed, DasEi yeah im not really intelligent at all. I just know that ive used "hardware drivers" app in the past and on this install that app doesnt find any drivers and performance is lacking without them | 05:46 |
| DasEi | boobsbr: no new counts from last given commands;; 7MB/s.. depends on hardware normaol for old ide on crypted hd maybe | 05:46 |
| Need4Feed | sudo apt-get install yum_yums | 05:46 |
| _pg_ | Need4Feed, yum yums @ me? | 05:47 |
| DasEi | _pg_: sudo apt-get install jockey-gtk | 05:47 |
| _pg_ | Dasda, what does this do? | 05:47 |
| Need4Feed | _pg_, no sir, my belly | 05:47 |
| Jordan_U | skumara: The mbr is the first sector of the disk, it cannot by definition be "in sda1". | 05:48 |
| _pg_ | Dasda, Need4Feed well should i do yum or jockey? what even are those? | 05:48 |
| DasEi | _pg_: nick is DasEi, it's just that thingy , case it's not installed (Hardwaredrivers) | 05:48 |
| sacarlson | _pg_: I'm sure you tried System>aministration>hardware drivers ? | 05:48 |
| Need4Feed | _pg_, Jockey | 05:48 |
| _pg_ | sacarlson, yes; it finds nothing | 05:48 |
| skumara | Jordan_U, when i do fdisk -l my sda1 start with number 1. it must the mbr isn't it? | 05:49 |
| DasEi | _pg_: Need4Fe.. is just joking | 05:49 |
| boobsbr | DasEi: my drive is not encrypted, it's a sata2 drive from western digital, and it is connected on AHCI | 05:49 |
| Need4Feed | _pg_ yums are for me, jockey is an application that finds drivers for your hardware. | 05:49 |
| Ologn | The first 512 bytes is the MBR. It is not part of a disk partition. | 05:49 |
| DasEi | boobsbr: erm, that's too slow then, tired hdparm with / without cache ? | 05:49 |
| Jordan_U | skumara: No, the mbr is sector 0. So you want "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" . | 05:49 |
| DasEi | tried* | 05:49 |
| _pg_ | Need4Feed, ahhh ok-apparently i need to wait until synaptic is done anyway | 05:49 |
| _pg_ | i feel your grub pain skumara | 05:50 |
| Need4Feed | _pg_, Need4Feed= Hungry | 05:50 |
| DasEi | boobsbr: sudo hdparm -T /dev/sda1_OrWhateverParti | 05:50 |
| skumara | Jordan_U, so grub is in mbr the first 512 bytes. than sda1 is my boot device, is it? | 05:50 |
| _pg_ | Need4Feed, Ah. well go get some internal destruction fast food. on me. | 05:51 |
| skumara | thanks _pg_ | 05:51 |
| Jordan_U | skumara: There are two different parts of grub, there is the part installed to the mbr (or partition boot record) and the parts stored in the filesystem (within your Ubuntu partition, the files in /boot/grub). | 05:51 |
| Ologn | skumara: no. Think of it as the MBR being sda0, even though it is not designated that way | 05:51 |
| DasEi | _pg_: so was already installed ? | 05:51 |
| boobsbr | DasEi: Timing buffered disk reads: 294 MB in 3.00 seconds = 97.90 MB/sec / Timing cached reads: 6506 MB in 2.00 seconds = 3254.33 MB/sec | 05:51 |
| _pg_ | DasEi, im not sure. i need to let synaptic finish i gues before i can jockey it up | 05:52 |
| DasEi | boobsbr: that's fine and normal, fs corrupt ? | 05:52 |
| Need4Feed | _pg_, lol | 05:52 |
| boobsbr | DasEi: it doesn't seem corrupt, ran fsck before booting and it went ok | 05:52 |
| boobsbr | DasEi: it's ext3 btw | 05:52 |
| Jordan_U | skumara: What you need to make sure of is that the mbr portion will look for the rest of the files in the correct partition. So you want to run grub-install from within the Ubuntu installation that you plan to keep, and the parameter that you pass to grub install will be "/dev/sda". | 05:53 |
| _pg_ | welll synaptic is not going to finish anytime soon. so i will see you chaps later. thatnks for thje tip about that jockey. he sure is a trickster | 05:53 |
| DasEi | boobsbr: try a copy with rsync -P | 05:53 |
| skumara | Jordan_U, Ologn if i want want format my sda1, the grub will still be in mbr, i need to just grub update after format sda1 so that on next reboot i can boot from ubuntu 2. is it right? | 05:53 |
| DasEi | skumara: yes | 05:54 |
| boobsbr | DasEi: ok, brb | 05:54 |
| AndroidBruce | could anyone tell me how to get X running via SSH | 05:54 |
| Ologn | skumara: Yes. You can install-grub, which will go into the first 512 bytes of your disk. /dev/sda1 probably starts at the 513th byte and goes on. Formatting sda1 will not affect grub or the MBR. | 05:55 |
| Jordan_U | skumara: The command "update-grub" only changes a single file, /boot/grub/grub.cfg. If the mbr portion of grub is looking in the wrong partition (in this case one that will no longer exist) then it won't even get far enough to read /boot/grub/grub.cfg. | 05:55 |
| DasEi | AndroidBruce: sure | 05:55 |
| === hannibal is now known as Guest89381 | ||
| AndroidBruce | DasEi, i would like to access some applications GUI when i log in via ssh | 05:56 |
| DasEi | AndroidBruce: configure /etc/ssh/sshd_config properly and then ssh in by : ssh -X UserName@IPaddress | 05:56 |
| AndroidBruce | configuring /etc/ssh/sshd_config properly consists of? | 05:56 |
| prince_jammys | enabling X forwarding | 05:56 |
| Jordan_U | skumara: So what you need to do is 1: Boot into the Ubuntu installation you plan to keep 2: From there run "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" 3: Delete the Ubuntu install you no longer want using gparted from a LiveCD | 05:57 |
| boobsbr | DasEi: copying a 4 GB file with rsync -P within the same partition yields ~5 MB/s | 05:57 |
| AndroidBruce | this what it looks like now http://pastie.org/1109194 | 05:57 |
| DasEi | boobsbr: maybe cache (ram) not enabled ? | 05:58 |
| boobsbr | DasEi: how can I check that? | 05:58 |
| skumara | Jordan_U, why i need gparted. i can format from the the ubuntu i want using system>administration>disk utility | 05:58 |
| DasEi | AndroidBruce: is enabled by default, but apart from it go through this one essential config file to learn ssh | 05:58 |

| rww | mondragon: the default ufw configuration doesn't block anything, as far as I know :\ | 06:00 |
| mondragon | rww: the default input policy is drop... | 06:00 |

| AndroidBruce | Jordan_U, once i've logged in with -X, how can i 'see a gui' | 06:01 |
| mondragon | well, ufw isn't running by default in the OS...but the default ufw config is to drop | 06:01 |
| Jordan_U | skumara: You won't be able to resize the Ubuntu partition to make use of the free space while you are booted from that partition (if that's what you plan to do). | 06:01 |
| DasEi | boobsbr: sudo hdparm -W /dev/sda or whatever | 06:01 |
| Jordan_U | AndroidBruce: Run a GUI application. | 06:01 |
| skumara | oh i see the point Jordan_U | 06:01 |
| prince_jammys | AndroidBruce: you don't. you just run programs, and the windows are rendered on your end. | 06:01 |
| AndroidBruce | could this be done from a windows machine? | 06:02 |
| boobsbr | thune3: can't any sync/async options on mtab and fstab | 06:02 |
| MarkSS | If someone has 3 different partitions on their hard drive...is it possible to see the other two while logged into one? | 06:02 |

| prince_jammys | AndroidBruce: yes, if the windows machine has X installed. | 06:02 |
| AndroidBruce | ahh i see i see ok | 06:02 |
| AndroidBruce | so the machine renders the gui using the X is currently has natively | 06:02 |
| skumara | i'm happy i finally understand grub better. | 06:02 |

| MarkSS | Crap! All this time I have been telling others I have been teaching Linux to that it is impossible. Gah! How do I prevent it? | 06:03 |
| DasEi | boobsbr: idk then, maybe look in syslog, that shall be least 30, more 60 then 7 | 06:04 |
| MarkSS | Is being able to see what is in other partitions a security hazard? | 06:05 |
| abhijit | can i tell rythmbox to directly start playing selected radio when i run rythmbox? | 06:05 |
| DasEi | MarkSS: no | 06:05 |
| Jordan_U | MarkSS: It depends on why you want to prevent it. If there are files that you personally don't want people to see then you may want to use an encrypted home directory. | 06:05 |
| boobsbr | DasEi: didn't understand that last bit. 30, 60, 7 what? | 06:06 |
| MarkSS | How do I encrypt my home directory? | 06:06 |
| DasEi | boobsbr: mb / s | 06:06 |
| Jordan_U | MarkSS: First I think it would be good to confirm that you actually need an encrypted home directory. Are you going to be allowing people to have physical access to your computer without your supervision? | 06:07 |
| MarkSS | Yep and they complete idiots | 06:07 |
| DasEi | MarkSS: better anencrypted container you just mount offline | 06:07 |

| arundracula | BIOS showing 95C, but in k8temp each core around 47C. CPU heatsink is not so hot. I already re-applied the compound. | 07:30 |
| adityavpratap | It was working on my previous install of 10.04 | 07:30 |

| olskolirc | ok viking667 thanks | 07:33 |
| rww | olskolirc: there isn't a supported way of doing that | 07:33 |
| DasEi | arundracula: basically hit enter still it's done, see the section cut here ? | 07:34 |
| arundracula | yes | 07:34 |
| yondering | better question, why go from intrepid to karmik when lucid is available? | 07:35 |
| DasEi | arundracula: sudo modprobe blah54whatever (first line of section) | 07:35 |
| DasEi | arundracula: sudo modprobe blah54whatever (second line of section, and so on) | 07:35 |

| arundracula | After that full list after ENTER, there are two things, Driver it87 and Driver k8temp autoloaded | 07:37 |
| DasEi | arundracula: sudo modprobe it87 | 07:37 |
| DasEi | arundracula: sudo modprobe k8temp | 07:38 |

| arundracula | It said use the service module-init-tools start | 07:43 |
| arundracula | start | 07:43 |
| DasEi | arundracula: sensors <<more realistic values | 07:43 |
| DasEi | ? | 07:43 |
| arundracula | In that k8temp shows, two Core0 Temp and two Core1 Temp. All are normal temps | 07:44 |
| arundracula | But in ACPI, it shows CPU Temp 95C | 07:44 |
| viking667 | hm. Nope, doesn't seem to show what I want. just shows what packages it depends on, what it conflicts with and what it replaces. | 07:44 |
| arundracula | I think the temp sensor is faulty, because AMD K8 will be showing the correct values, right? | 07:45 |
| arundracula | OK, thank you. | 07:46 |
| DasEi | arundracula: sudo apt-get innstall sensors-applet | 07:46 |

| DrTinker | i have ubuntu insytalled alongsude windows help?xp, had to reinstall windows, now cannot access ubuntu...help? | 08:04 |

| lili1 | ikonia: my teacher ssaied mee to do it. | 08:04 |
| erry | lili1, i want to go to your school | 08:04 |
| ikonia | lili1: then your teacher is wrong, you should not be compiling a kernel on ubuntu without a good reason as it will break compatibility | 08:04 |
| lili1 | ikonia: yes. | 08:05 |
| lili1 | ikonia: kernel 2.6 and 2.4 dont need for it. | 08:05 |

| lili1 | ikonia: my teacher want that i learn iptables from base | 08:05 |
| suresh | how do i update my repositories? | 08:05 |
| ikonia | lili1: then you don't need to compile a kernel to learn iptables | 08:05 |
| lili1 | ikonia: i'm downloding kernel 2.6.35 now | 08:06 |
| erry | suresh, sudo apt-get update, however i think you need to cdownload the google earth installer from google itself | 08:06 |
| lili1 | ikonia: what do i? | 08:06 |
| ikonia | lili1: custom kernels are not supported in this channel, even less so when there is no reason for it | 08:06 |
| lili1 | ikonia: i dont see | 08:07 |
| ikonia | lili1: customer compiling kernels is not supported in this channel, from my point of view less so when you are doing it for no reason at all | 08:07 |
| lili1 | ikonia: ok. for make a firewall with iptables what i do? | 08:07 |

The wireless all of a sudden stopped working, when going up to the applet, the network "OPTUS" is there, but it is greyed out and cannot be selected. So far as I know, the user didn't do anything to cause this, it just happened. Any ideas? | 10:17 |

| murlidhar | abhijit: btw did you get the internet working on your friend's desktop or lappy whatever it is ? | 10:18 |

| sacarlson | callipygous: I assume it's a privlige problem try System>administration>Users and groups make sure the box is checked | 10:20 |
| callipygous | erUSUL: I'm not at the computer at the moment to run that, but I remember on a different machine I ran in to the same trouble - it was blacklisted somewhere or the network was turned off in a config file | 10:20 |
| nogo | i guess, all are fine but just can't use the internet | 10:21 |
| nogo | for a while | 10:21 |
| erUSUL | callipygous: blacklists are in /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf files ( "grep -R blacklist /etc/modprobe.d/" should tell you ) | 10:21 |
| suresh | abhijit: wierd thing .. it installed with tons of errors and then it crashed .. but now i found the icon in app/internet and clicked it and google earth works | 10:21 |
| erUSUL | callipygous: without more info is hard to help | 10:22 |
| callipygous | erUSUL: agreed | 10:22 |
| abhijit | suresh, :D | 10:22 |
| callipygous | I'll have to ssh in to it somehow | 10:22 |

| North_Italian69 | How to close all incoming ports? My Ubuntu has 10 ope ports wih runing service that i dont want at all | 10:28 |
| erUSUL | !ufw | North_Italian69 | 10:28 |
| ubottu | North_Italian69: 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. | 10:28 |
| viking667 | Find the services that have those ports open. "sudo netstat -pan | less" will tell you the processes. | 10:29 |
| rww | sudo ufw enable | 10:29 |
| viking667 | It's up to you to decide if you want to stop those services | 10:29 |
| rww | who cares what's opening ports if iptables is blocking them | 10:29 |
| rww | but yeah, viking667 has the more rigorous route :) | 10:29 |
| ari-tczew | does anyone know whether can I install package from another release using $ apt-get install ? | 10:30 |
| erUSUL | ari-tczew: no; you can not | 10:30 |
| ari-tczew | I have maverick and I want to install package from karmic, is it possible through apt-get? | 10:30 |
| erUSUL | ari-tczew: karmic questions go in #ubuntu+1 btw | 10:30 |
| erUSUL | ari-tczew: maveric questions go in #ubuntu+1 btw | 10:30 |
| sacarlson | North_Italian69: you can look at the return of this command sudo netstat -pant and kill the process that you don't want or need. | 10:31 |
| rww | ari-tczew: mixing packages from different versions of Ubuntu isn't supported by this channel | 10:31 |
| jimcooncat | new install (old user!), graphics not working except failsafeX, reconfigure wizard of no help. Can you? | 10:31 |

| sacarlson | jimcooncat: oh command line I forget but there is a way | 10:36 |

| NightTail1 | grr | 10:36 |
| jimcooncat | thanks guys. It was working in older version. I now ran across a wiki article X/KernelModeSetting | 10:37 |
| jimcooncat | littlepenguin: I'll try that, can't make it worse than it is! | 10:37 |
| sacarlson | North_Italian69: only ports I have open are the ones I created except maybe cups, not sure what you installed or what you have running | 10:37 |
| North_Italian69 | sacarlson: sorry, but i don't accept that a service open ports w/o my permission. this is a very stupid policy from Ubuntu, Canonica or whaever | 10:37 |

| jimcooncat | littlepenguin: no response from your command | 10:39 |
| littlepenguin | NightTail1 just installed the ati drivers for 32 bit and it says its not compatible with kernel.. | 10:39 |
| North_Italian69 | try this command. im sure that all of you are full of listening ports netstat -l -t -u -p -e | 10:39 |
| North_Italian69 | netstat -l -t -u -p -e | 10:39 |
| sacarlson | North_Italian69: what application are these so called ports comming from? | 10:39 |
| littlepenguin | jimcooncat, when done as sudo it rewrites the config file for xserver | 10:39 |
| North_Italian69 | sacarlson: would yo lke a pastebin? | 10:40 |
| littlepenguin | North_Italian69, or netstat -tulpen | 10:40 |
| jimcooncat | littlepenguin: I'm at a root command prompt, it did not give me any output, just back to the cli | 10:40 |
| littlepenguin | jimcooncat, does startx start the gui? | 10:40 |

| umc | gotta love ubuntu... comming from a mandriva install (which isn't bad, but rumors of bankruptcy don't confort me), but ubuntu works excellent. wifi just works, my multifunctional printer just works (it didn't even install drivers for it), scanning just works). changed the window buttons to the right, feels more natural. are there any nice themes that you recommend ? | 10:45 |
| sacarlson | North_Italian69: for one thing I don't see an appache2 server so why is mysqld running? | 10:46 |

| sacarlson | North_Italian69: most are packages you installed except for cups so you can install those on debian also not sure I see a difference | 10:49 |
| abhijit | umc, welcome. you try them they are really cool themes!!! | 10:49 |
| sacarlson | North_Italian69: like icecast what is that? | 10:50 |
| North_Italian69 | sacarlson: these are services, doesn't matter some need locally. but no open ports please. if i do a nmap it is a disaster. I am lucky that my dsl router has a nice firewall. incredible if i had a direct connection with a modem for instance all the word can enter on my Ubuntu. this is *unmissable* | 10:50 |
| sacarlson | North_Italian69: so if you need these services localy I guess you want a firewall. | 10:50 |
| llutz | North_Italian69: why do you blame ubuntu for your incompetence to setup your local services properly? | 10:51 |
| North_Italian69 | sacarlson: so, you don want undestand me. even xp if an application try to go in listening mode ask you if it can or not, can you understand me??????? i believed linux was secure ... | 10:51 |
| zealiod | is it possible to get Postfix Mail to relay to a smarthost that requires a username and password for authentication? | 10:51 |

| sacarlson | North_Italian69: the default firewall is to deny all | 10:53 |

The command is "update-grub" or "sudo update-grub" depending on your current user permissions. | 11:36 |

| lov255 | What is the most current version of perl? | 13:25 |
| jk_ | tuntun: to change the owner of a file, you must either be the original owner, or be running as root. Since root isn't on the list you see, that leaves only one possibility. | 13:26 |

| stefan33 | minty: (sorry, I think I typed syslog, yes, it is the system logs you want to check, but on 10.04 it is messages that will include all the kernel boot messages) | 14:37 |
| pek | ACK | 14:38 |
| herbmonk | sipior: thanks you | 14:38 |
| herbmonk | ikonia: thankyou as well | 14:38 |
| `Xander` | winehq chann is a graveyard | 14:39 |
| otswim | is it risky to resize a partition and create another one with a live cd? | 14:39 |
| `Xander` | i think nobody is alive | 14:39 |
| `Xander` | lol | 14:39 |
| Vigo_ | erUSUL: Not stepping on your toes there, is just an option that I used once, .... | 14:39 |
| iceroot | otswim: make a backup | 14:39 |
| otswim | iceroot: i can't | 14:40 |
| otswim | iceroot: the computer that i'm trying to fix got very slow | 14:40 |
| otswim | and i have 30GB that i need to backup and it's taking days to copy on the kubuntu live cd, and even longer on the windows installation | 14:41 |
| `Xander` | wow..30gb >.< | 14:41 |
| Vigo_ | 'Xander': Some of us are actually here.... | 14:42 |
| `Xander` | yeah ur here on this channel | 14:42 |
| otswim | 30GB of photos ;p | 14:42 |
| `Xander` | but on wine theres none | 14:42 |
| `Xander` | lol | 14:42 |
| `Xander` | omg.photos?! | 14:42 |
| Vigo_ | sweet | 14:42 |
| Pici | `Xander`: Don't expect every channel to be as busy as this one. | 14:42 |
| `Xander` | yeah i know Pici.i guess ill try when i wake up tomorrow | 14:43 |
| Vigo_ | otswim: Is the computer itself slow , hardware? or is the drive in a failure mode? | 14:43 |
| `Xander` | maybe its the time thing | 14:43 |
| roberto_ | hi matrix | 14:43 |
| otswim | Vigo_: it seems slow on the live cd too | 14:44 |
| otswim | Vigo_: maybe it's the drive yes, but how could i know? | 14:44 |
| minty | stefen33: i just checked my syslog did not see anything suspeciuos. anyway i just want to put a command "ifconfig ethX up" is a startup script, can someone guide me... where to place the command. | 14:44 |
| otswim | Vigo_: how can i know if it's the drive, and how can i fix it | 14:45 |
| Vigo_ | otswim: Have you fdisk and or chckdisk? I forgot abunch of the Windows calls, | 14:45 |
| jaz72 | Hi anyone know how to make irc chat fonts bigger? | 14:45 |
| otswim | Vigo_: i'm on the kubuntu live cd for now | 14:45 |
| ikonia | minty: you're using mint atre you not ? | 14:45 |
| otswim | it took one minute to mount the internal hard drive | 14:45 |
| stefan33 | minty: A Q&D solution, but effective. Look into /etc/rc.local to execute local scripts after boot. | 14:45 |
| bilalakhtar | jaz72: Which client are you using? | 14:45 |
| stefan33 | minty: (Q&D -> Quick & Dirty, a good way to just get something working) | 14:45 |
| jaz72 | xchat on ubuntu | 14:46 |
| Vigo_ | otswim: Yes, maybe a chckdisk in Windows would help the Data Pile on the drive. | 14:46 |
| minty | ikonia: yes, it's version 7 i thnk | 14:46 |
| ikonia | minty: please take that to the mint support channel | 14:46 |
| bilalakhtar | jaz72: just a minute, I will get the docs and tell you | 14:46 |
| ikonia | minty: I can see you are already in it and asking the question | 14:46 |
| minimec | minty: Do you do some configuration in /etc/network/interfaces? In that case I would rather do 'sudo ifup ethX' | 14:46 |
| elpapo | X11 portforwarding with ssh works so nice... da*n. :) | 14:46 |
| ikonia | minty: please keep it in that channel | 14:46 |
| jaz72 | ok thanks | 14:46 |
| stefan33 | minty: If you want to write a script that will do all you need, then just call that script before the "exit 0" line in /etc/rc.local | 14:46 |
| ikonia | minimec: we do not support mint here - please don't discuss it any futher | 14:46 |
| ikonia | stefan33: same to you | 14:46 |
| xor | Hi there! | 14:46 |
| ozzy | Hello, is it possible to ask questions regarding installation of a wifi netwok here? | 14:47 |
| elpapo | I tested it years ago, then it was slow. Using it now... xchat threw the tunnel | 14:47 |
| minty | this is my desktop... but i have problem with "ubuntu server 64" | 14:47 |
| otswim | my computer is very slow, and the drive seems slow on the live cd too, is there a way to fix it? | 14:47 |
| minty | my server is headless | 14:47 |
| bilalakhtar | jaz72: http://xchat.org/docs/xchat-5.html | 14:47 |
| stefan33 | ikonia: Does mint handle this any differently? (I was under the understanding this was a 10.04 amd64 issue they were having) | 14:47 |
| minimec | ikonia: Oh he uses mint... Didn't realize that... | 14:47 |
| jaz72 | ok thanks | 14:47 |
| `Xander` | i think its the read/write thing otswim | 14:47 |
| minty | stefan33, i will put the comand it /etc/rc.local" and see how's that | 14:48 |
| xor | I can't see the splash screen, and I can't find the log file with the error messages during boot. Can someone help me out? | 14:48 |
| stefan33 | minty: Remember, no sudo in rc.local, it is run as root already. | 14:48 |
| ibrahim-kasem | guys press the win key + w D: | 14:48 |
| minimec | minty: rc.local is a good start ;) | 14:48 |
| Vigo_ | otswim: Is it slow on one OS or is it slow running any OS? | 14:48 |
| bilalakhtar | jaz72: got it? | 14:48 |
| `Xander` | nice ibrahim-kasem | 14:48 |
| jaz72 | yes thankyou for he help | 14:49 |
| bilalakhtar | jaz72: you're welcome, whenever you need help, don't forget to come to #ubuntu ! have a great time using Ubuntu! | 14:49 |
| ibrahim-kasem | `Xander`, :P yeah i liked it but am sure its an old tip that you know | 14:49 |
| minty | ok... i will try just now and see how, thank guys :) | 14:50 |
| otswim | Vigo_: it's really slow on windows, and it's a bit slow on the live cd of kubuntu | 14:50 |
| === aner is now known as Wone | ||

| `Xander` | <skumara> how do i set lucid to change desktop image at time interval from pictures from my picture folder? <--- u can do that?! | 14:52 |
| otswim | Vigo_: can i run the e2fsck thing to try to fix it with the live cd? or is it risky too? | 14:53 |
| marcuy | I have the following problem when I try to execute "apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev" http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/482403/ any ideas? | 14:53 |
| jaz72 | I have brought DVD r discs that are ignored when in dvd-drive two types | 14:53 |
| Pici | skumara: I believe that drapes can do that. Its in the repositories. | 14:54 |
| jaz72 | used linux format dvd to install ubuntu which wasregonised | 14:54 |
| skumara | if u go to system preference and appearence under wallpaper u can find cosmos which is changing wallpaper every minute. 'Xander' | 14:54 |
| skumara | pici see my msg | 14:54 |
| Pici | skumara: Yes, but that involves creating an xml file, It doesn't do it based on the contents of a folder. | 14:55 |
| lov255 | okay I am teaching myself perl I need a break anyone need help with Ubuntu? | 14:55 |
| Vigo_ | otswim: Rule of computing is Make a Backup, then there is no risk. First off I would checksum the CD , but if the Windows slice/partition is slow on its own, then take a look at the link I posted before going further, and always make a backup. | 14:55 |
| NevroPus | Hi. I have an xterm that blinks when using tab for auto-completion. Does anyone know how to turn that of? It's quite annoying:P | 14:55 |
| otswim | Vigo_: i can't make a 30GB backup because it's taking days and days to copy on an external hard drive | 14:55 |
| skumara | Pici, how to create this xml files? | 14:56 |
| abhijit | skule, i use desktop drapes. | 14:56 |
| lov255 | NevroPus insert key | 14:56 |
| Pici | skumara: I don't know off the top of my head. Its probably easier to use drapes. | 14:56 |
| skumara | desktop drapes? | 14:56 |
| abhijit | yah | 14:56 |
| NevroPus | lov255: Pressing Insert didn't do anytinh. Or was it not what you meant? | 14:56 |
| erUSUL | NevroPus: is the bell; disable it. | 14:57 |
| Vigo_ | otswim: Have you tried mounting the External as C:? | 14:57 |
| `Xander` | couldnt find the cosmos skumara | 14:57 |
| NevroPus | erUSUL: How do I disable the bell? .bashrc? | 14:57 |
| Stavros | hello | 14:57 |
| otswim | Vigo_: i'm using the live cd for now | 14:57 |
| otswim | should i resize the partitions or run e2fsck, which one is the less risky? | 14:57 |
| Stavros | i have a headless, keyboardless pc i need to install ubuntu on, is there a livecd with ssh access enabled | 14:57 |
| skumara | Pici, abhijit i'm now downloading drapes. thank u | 14:57 |
| erUSUL | NevroPus: try "xterm +vb" see if it helps | 14:57 |
| minty | stefan33: what does this mean "In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution bits" found it in the rc.local | 14:57 |
| skumara | 'Xander' look for a pic with space things like galaxy | 14:58 |
| NevroPus | erUSUL: Thanks, that worked | 14:58 |
| Vigo_ | otswim: What erUSUL stated earlier, Gparted is a fine utility for that. | 14:58 |
| `Xander` | thats in preferences>appearance right? | 14:58 |
| otswim | i don't have gparted on the live cd :/ | 14:58 |
| skumara | 'Xander' yes | 14:59 |
| lov255 | NevroPus I thought you where talking about the terminal window | 14:59 |
| valdur55 | sudo apt-get install gparted | 14:59 |
| valdur55 | otswim, sudo apt-get install gparted | 14:59 |
| minty | erUSUL: what does this mean "In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution bits" found it in the rc.local test | 14:59 |
| `Xander` | still cant find it..lol | 14:59 |
| `Xander` | so sorry. im a noob :( | 15:00 |
| erUSUL | minty: it means that if you want the script to not run on boot just disable the execute permissions | 15:00 |
| Vigo_ | otswim: Then there is this: http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=partedmagic | 15:00 |
| erUSUL | minty: sudo chmod -x /etc/rc.local | 15:00 |
| `Xander` | oh i found it | 15:00 |
| erUSUL | minty: this restores the eXecutable perm. --> sudo chmod +x /etc/rc.local | 15:00 |
| `Xander` | how do you make you own changing wallpaper thingy? | 15:00 |
| minty | erUSUL: ic.. thankx | 15:01 |
| skumara | 'Xander' look under the wallpaper tab. put your curser on top of picture and the name appear. look for name cosmos. | 15:01 |
| skumara | 'Xander' use desktop drapes. its cool... | 15:01 |
| `Xander` | is that on software center skumara ? | 15:02 |
| skumara | yes 'Xander' | 15:02 |

| abhijit | mew-chan, dear. i ddnt say that is monitors who downloaded what. i said it monitors who used 'HOW MUCH' internet? | 15:15 |
| rypervenche | I have a program installed on my computer and I wanted to manually install a newer version of it not available in the Ubuntu repositories. I tried to do it using ./configure then make then make install, but it did not work. How can I remove any changes that that may have had? | 15:15 |
| rypervenche | Is anyone available to help me with this? | 15:16 |
| khazamondo | with what? | 15:16 |
| Stavros | rypervenche: you need to do it by hand | 15:16 |
| stefan33 | rypervenche: Does the Makefile have a 'clean' option? | 15:16 |
| khazamondo | did you try man? | 15:16 |
| otswim | Vigo_: what if the hard drive is really damaged? don't i need to fix it before using gparted? | 15:16 |
| stefan33 | rypervenche: (or uninstall, etc...something that will "undo" it for you? Otherwise, yes, by hand is your option) | 15:17 |
| topyli | ezy: nothing gets to your system without root permissions, which your browser hopefully doesn't have | 15:17 |
| Vigo_ | otswim: I would say yes to that. | 15:17 |
| marcuy | I have the following problem in Karmic when I try to execute "apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev" http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/482403/ any ideas? | 15:17 |
| minimec | janicko: Why don't you have any router access? You lost it? So reset the router to its defaults and reconfigure it again. --> Harware Reset (manual) That also sets the login back. All info should be in the manual (also on the internet). Passwords normally are like 'admin' '0000' '1234' | 15:17 |
| abhijit | how to know if a device is mounted read only? | 15:17 |
| rypervenche | stefan33: It does have a clean option. How do I run that? (I'm still very new to Ubuntu) | 15:17 |
| otswim | Vigo_: so i run e2fsck? that's right? | 15:18 |
| khazamondo | Z | 15:18 |
| khazamondo | D | 15:18 |
| khazamondo | sorry | 15:18 |
| khazamondo | elbow | 15:18 |
| minimec | janicko: It is the router that desides wheather or not you can access the internet. If you cannot access it right now, you will have to do the 'reset thing' | 15:18 |
| khazamondo | or just connect directly | 15:18 |
| otswim | e2fsck is not for windows partition i guess :/ | 15:18 |
| Vigo_ | otswim: You can try ddrescue or some other utilities, looking others up now... | 15:18 |
| stefan33 | rypervenche: make clean | 15:19 |
| stefan33 | However, it is very possible if you already did the "make install" that clean is only going to deal with what was made in the source directory. Check the 'clean' rule in the Makefile to see if it removes anything from the install rule. If not, you need to walk through the install rule and rm files by hand :( | 15:19 |
| topyli | abhijit: see what 'mount' says about the device. just the 'mount' command without any options will list all mounted devices | 15:19 |
| otswim | ntfsfix, i'll try that one | 15:19 |
| mew-chan | abhijit: Thanks, that seems to be kinda what i am looking for, if only i where a bit more savy in networking and could understand it a bit better | 15:19 |
| rypervenche | stefan33: Ok, thank you very much :) | 15:19 |
| abhijit | mew-chan, ok | 15:19 |
| abhijit | topyli, thanks. | 15:19 |
| erUSUL | abhijit: check the line for it in /proc/mounts | 15:20 |
| Vigo_ | lap_dragon: Yes | 15:20 |
| abhijit | erUSUL, yah | 15:20 |
| mew-chan | janicko: (i know you already anwsered this but just wondering what router are you using?) | 15:20 |
| Mimo | hi, is /dev/hda2 /mnt/winc vfat rw,exec,auto 0 0 <- is this correct to automaticly give user rw and exec permissions? | 15:20 |

| Selive-win98 | hi i try to load lucid but i need the command apci=off at the start | 15:28 |
| lap_dragon | I am trying gimp but I do not like it. Gimp can be awkward and slower to use. I much prefer photoshop or psp | 15:28 |
| Selive-win98 | i did e on bootloader | 15:29 |
| Selive-win98 | but it is not markt the line | 15:29 |

| slow-motion | hi | 15:30 |
| lov255 | janicko: okay well you have to work with someone on getting ndiswrapper unloaded | 15:30 |
| ezy | topyli, :-) I would understand if I hurt myself by downloading a linux worm that disguised itself as a decent application. Im more scared of those scrpts that self install while browsing the net without my knowledge | 15:30 |
| lov255 | once you do that you should be up and running | 15:30 |
| lap_dragon | btw, where do I open ports in ubuntu? | 15:30 |
| lov255 | can anyone help Janicko uninstall ndiswrapper? | 15:30 |
| erUSUL | lap_dragon: no ports are closed by default. so if something is listening the port is open | 15:31 |
| janicko | lov2555: so you think that is problem? why? | 15:31 |
| lap_dragon | ok | 15:31 |
| Selive-win98 | someone can help me to start the pc with this comand apic=off on grub2 | 15:31 |
| lov255 | Yes, big time | 15:31 |
| tgreer | lov255, apt-get remove ndiswrapper? | 15:31 |
| lov255 | tgreer, yeah but there is going to be a lot of stuff left over from ndiswrapper | 15:31 |
| lov255 | I had to work on getting my ndiswrapper with ilovefairuz, it took us 5 hours | 15:31 |
| lov255 | stuff kept stayinig | 15:31 |
| erUSUL | Selive-win98: modify /etc/default/grub add acpi=off to the string that has "splash quiet" --> "splash quiet acpi=off" | 15:31 |
| erUSUL | Selive-win98: run « sudo update-grub » | 15:32 |
| lov255 | but janicko: that is the first step apt-get remove ndiswrapper | 15:32 |
| mil0 | Janicko: unload ndiswrapper. rmmod ndiswrapper. apt-get remove ndiswrapper | 15:32 |
| Selive-win98 | i did this from the live cd but it is not at the start | 15:32 |
| Selive-win98 | gksu gedit /etc/default/grub | 15:33 |
| erUSUL | Selive-win98: did you run « sudo update-grub » ? | 15:33 |
| Selive-win98 | yes | 15:33 |
| minimec | janicko: Well... Sudo apt-get remove --purge ndiswrapper Then I guess you had to black list some drivers in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist... and maybe modified /etc/modules. <-- Undo these both things... | 15:33 |
| erUSUL | Selive-win98: in the chroot ? | 15:33 |
| Selive-win98 | i changed root befor and mounted sda5 | 15:33 |

| MarkRich | Hello Everyone, I'm using Gnome 2.30.2 with Ubuntu 10.4 would like to shut down X Windows properly. There are a bunch of ways of doing it that I've seen, but the two most recommended methods each cause the same errors. The methods are sudo service gdm stop and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop. | 15:48 |
| MarkRich | Both of these cause the laptop to freeze & display this message: fsck from util-linux-ng, Checking battery state. I disabled the battery power option in Gnome at startup which then causes it to freeze with this error: Enabling additional executable binary formats binfmt-support. I've tried running the gdm stop commands from terminals 1 & 2. Any idea what this might be? Thanks Mark | 15:48 |
| lov255 | janicko: I found the log file - I am going to read through and see if can get you started here | 15:48 |
| lov255 | I will help janicko with this everyone, as much as I can :) | 15:48 |

| minimec | openstandards: shutdown the computer. Then start it and right after the 'boot screen' press (and hold) the left <shift> button. The grub menu should then start. | 16:03 |
| minimec | twig_: You could then change /etc/networking/interfaces and add your interface (ethX) like 1.line: auto eth0 2nd. line iface eth0 inet dhcp That should bring up the interface at boot and do a connect. | 16:05 |

| MarkRich | Hello Everyone, I'm using Gnome 2.30.2 with Ubuntu 10.4 would like to shut down X Windows properly. There are a bunch of ways of doing it that I've seen, but the most recommended methods each cause the same errors. The methods are sudo service gdm stop, sudo stop gdm && sudo pkill X, and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop. | 16:15 |
| MarkRich | After these commands are run I receive the following message: gdm stop/waiting. Then I switch to console 7 & notice that the screen is froze. All of these cause the laptop to freeze & display this message at console 7: fsck from util-linux-ng, Checking battery state. I disabled the battery power option in Gnome at startup which then causes it to freeze with this error: Enabling additional executable binary formats binfmt-sup | 16:16 |
| MarkRich | port. I've tried running the gdm stop commands from terminals 1 & 2. | 16:16 |

| nnilk46 | wyn, Terminal just shows the typical messages "Processing triggers, Unpacking, Selecting previously deselected package, setting up" then skips a line and goes to "Setting up os-prober (1.29ubuntu2)..." then "Setting up grub-pc (1.96+20080724-12ubuntu2.1) ...", The next line is just a blinking cursor. Nothing happens from here on. | 18:03 |

| FastReading | sacarlson: that's one of the things that I am finding most difficult in this transition to Linux: most often (in programs in general, display settings, fonts, etc.) there are several files in the system that configure the same thing, and I don't know which of them has the highest priority | 18:05 |
| nnilk46 | I would love to just install from the 10.04LTS disc however the OS install always hangs at just before the disk partitioner starts up. Same on 9.10. The only one that seems to work is 9.04 (Which installs grub legacy, and I want everything to upgrade for this new machine.) | 18:05 |

| ubottu | lindsaymobil22: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 18:08 |
| Doug_Edey | FastReading: new users to linux shouldn't have to edit conf manually, infact, only superusers should, if an app requires you to edit a file manually then it needs to sort itself out | 18:09 |
| razass | anyone know of any ubuntu compatible software/hardware raid controllers? I simply need a 2hd raid array nothing too intense | 18:09 |
| sacarlson | FastReading: well fonts are in ttf files that can be added. I"m not sure how to set the default on that on your windows. I only change them in writer | 18:09 |
| lindsaymobil22 | ilovefairuz: well nnilk46 was saying about grub2 over legacy, so i replied, is that a crime!? | 18:09 |
| nnilk46 | lol i hope not | 18:09 |
| ilovefairuz | lindsaymobil22: read the guidelines | 18:09 |
| nnilk46 | I can't find any info online about my particular problem | 18:09 |
| lindsaymobil22 | ilovefairuz: i am not stupid | 18:09 |
| Doug_Edey | razass: aren't most of the really cheap ones you get in shops compatible if you just want to see a couple of drives and software RAID, HW raid with 2 drives is kinda pointless imo | 18:10 |
| nnilk46 | It's always assumed that the upgrade process goes through without a hitch, but unfortunately mine hitches! heh... | 18:10 |
| sacarlson | FastReading: if you want to change you active window fonts you can look at themes | 18:10 |
| lindsaymobil22 | why is it every irc has people that randomly give you into trouble with whatever excuse they get | 18:10 |
| lindsaymobil22 | ? | 18:10 |

| atdiehm | Hey guys, I'm not able to read my media card on my aspire one netbook ( 10.04 ) ... anyone know what I might be able to do? | 18:11 |
| razass | Doug_Edey: no its not pointless....anything I can find online doesnt mention ubuntu in its 'compatibility' list, nor debian | 18:11 |
| lindsaymobil22 | atdiehm: what filesystem is on it? | 18:11 |
| Pici | lindsaymobil22: We're just trying to keep the offtopic conversations out of here. #ubuntu is for support only, #ubuntu-offtopic for other chatter. | 18:11 |
| coz_ | lindsaymobil22, generally that is not the case here or most other official channels what was the bad advice? | 18:11 |
| KE1HA | nnilk46: are your referring to Grub2 upgrade again or another application? | 18:11 |
| mbeierl | lindsaymobil22: what is being asked is that if you are going to help, then help. The question asked of you is "do you know why it stalled" and your response was not generally helpful, sorry. | 18:11 |
| FastReading | Doug_Edey: that depends on one's philosophy... I love the CLI. To give an example: I spent the whole weekend manually configuring my wireless WPA connection (with hidden ssid and all that)... I proceeded to install network-manager (which was just a nuisance rather than an aid) and then set it all from scratch, configuring /etc/network/interfaces. It was worth. That's why I give so much importance to knowing which config file and( | 18:11 |
| nnilk46 | KE1HA, grub2 again. | 18:11 |
| Doug_Edey | razass: hardware RAID for just two drives? srsly? | 18:11 |
| atdiehm | lindsaymobil22, that's the problem... it was in my android phone, and I was copying files to it, and I think it got corrupted.... phone says no filesystem, as does windows | 18:12 |
| wyn | noobie1: http://www.amsn-project.net/wiki/InstallOnUbuntu my notes are here http://pastie.org/1110332 use my notes first then the svn | 18:12 |
| FastReading | Doug_Edey: I made a typo, I meant "I proceeded to UN-install network-manager" | 18:12 |
| sipior | Doug_Edey: hardware raid 1 mirrors aren't exactly unheard of. | 18:12 |
| lindsaymobil22 | atdiehm: have you tried formatting the sd card? or giving it a new partition table? | 18:12 |
| KE1HA | nnilk46: did you specific /dev/hda or /dev/sda when you said install grub .. .. | 18:12 |
| Doug_Edey | FastReading: I don't deny understanding them, but manually editing them is backwards | 18:12 |
| LCID_Fire | Pici: thx | 18:12 |
| atdiehm | lindsaymobil22, I don't want to format it because I want to try to get the data off it... | 18:12 |
| clectch | UBUNTU FUCKING SUCKS | 18:12 |
| razass | Doug_Edey: no it can be a software raid, I just need a card that can work in ubuntu.... | 18:13 |
| Doug_Edey | sipior: I've heard of it, just don't see the point in it since it doesn't protect against bad writes, there's no true redundancy | 18:13 |

| dt` | hi, so i've encountered a minor nuisance. on occasion I would press a key (somewhere near ctrl, alt or winkey) and my keyboard input would be suppressed until I just randomly press every key to fix it | 18:13 |
| wyn | nnilk46: there could be many reasons why, something bad in the file or customizations it is having trouble with, you could also do it from a live disk | 18:13 |
| lindsaymobil22 | qq how do i change the so called "Act" in irssi? | 18:14 |
| dt` | any idea what I may be pressing for this to happen? | 18:14 |
| nnilk46 | KE1HA, I didn't have to specify anything as the defaults "just work" going throught the OS install. | 18:14 |
| FastReading | Doug_Edey: I guess it's just a matter of perspective. Part of that which motivates my transition from windoze to linux is having the chance to understand things at low level, it gives me a deeper understanding and the ability to be able to get more and more distribution independent. My ultimate goal: being able to create my own distribution with LFS :) | 18:14 |
| nnilk46 | so it boots just fine from legacy right after OS install. | 18:14 |
| mbeierl | dt: all apps or only some of them? | 18:14 |
| dt` | i think it's a combination of keys as I haven't been able to reproduce this by pressing just one key | 18:14 |
| dt` | mbeierl, firefox in particular | 18:14 |
| ReadPlease | Dude, if I have an error with the OS, how long does it take for it to get fixed? | 18:14 |
| nnilk46 | the grub2 upgrade is what fails me. | 18:14 |
| sacarlson | Doug_Edey: FastReading: I agree with doug most configs are done in gui envirments on in text and in each application in most cases. | 18:14 |
| dt` | if it matters, I was in the software centre at the time | 18:14 |
| atdiehm | lindsaymobil22, actually, 'disk utility' sees it after a reboot...... | 18:14 |
| minimec | atdiehm: Did you try to boot once, the card inserted? Does it work then? | 18:14 |
| KE1HA | nnilk46: for upgradeing from Legacy Grub, you ahve to do 3 things: 1)- sudo apt-get install grub2 2) sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy 3) sudo grub-install /dev/sda where /dev/sda is your MBR or boot drive. | 18:14 |
| atdiehm | minimec, yup, that's what I just did! | 18:14 |
| Pici | lindsaymobil22: ^X ? #irssi would be a better place to ask if you don't get an answer here. | 18:14 |
| atdiehm | minimec, and it sees it as unformatted too :( | 18:14 |
| FastReading | Doug_Edey: all in all, I felt great satisfaction when I got to the point of understanding how the system handles network connections and I don't regret having had to go through all those manpages | 18:14 |

| dt` | mbeierl, when I began typing into a text input box, the flashing text cursor would disappear and I would be redirected to the panel (like letters wouldn't produce output and arrow keys allowed me to move around through my top panel where all my icons are) | 18:15 |

| dot-slaSh | I'd like to show transfers with time/speed/bandwidth metrics for things like downloading from a central server from across our global WAN. | 18:21 |
| Doug_Edey | FastReading: AIX is IBMs UNIX, runs on their hardware and nothing else (cos no-one else is silly enough) | 18:21 |
| EckoO | computerfreaker: also turn acpi off at startup sometimes it might cause problems | 18:21 |
| minimec | atdiehm: Are you running the normal 2.6.32 ubuntu kernel? If you tried the 2.6.35 kernel for lucid from the 'ubuntu kernel mainline' (unfortunately still rc1). WOuld that be worth a try? | 18:21 |

| Doug_Edey | bsod1, ncftpput | 18:45 |
| KevinSJ | FastReading, I did adduser username | 18:45 |
| KevinSJ | FastReading, I did adduser username group | 18:45 |
| dot-slaSh | wyn: there's also a big need for Security and authentication/access-control as well for certain projects... but that's later if we can show management the cloud solutions improves over our existing solution. | 18:45 |
| bsod1 | Doug_Edey: I couldn't find it in my synaptic | 18:45 |
| Doug_Edey | it comes with nccftp | 18:45 |
| wyn | bsod1: just use scp IE scp somefile user@someserver: | 18:45 |
| FastReading | KevinSJ: did it work? | 18:45 |
| bsod1 | Doug_Edey: do you mean ncftp? with one 'n' | 18:46 |
| bsod1 | with one 'c', sorry | 18:46 |
| Doug_Edey | bsod1, yes, bouncy keyboard :) | 18:46 |
| bsod1 | wyn: it looks good, let me try | 18:46 |
| TheLimeRunner | Okay, I have a question now. | 18:46 |
| KevinSJ | FastReading, Seems so. Is it possible to list a group's member | 18:47 |
| TheLimeRunner | When I install the proprietary nVidia drivers for my GeForce 4MX 420 | 18:47 |
| TheLimeRunner | my screen resoltuion is capped at 800X600 | 18:47 |
| Doug_Edey | TheLimeRunner, better be a good one ;) | 18:47 |
| wyn | dot-slaSh: Munin is for monitoring and you can then compare, we did not use a cloud but switched to virtual servers and improved our network infrastructure, you can also consider hosting large downloads at a host setup for it which i guess is what you mean | 18:47 |
| dot-slaSh | bsod1, You can use SCP, RSYNC, NCFTP... but you will be required to enter username/password. To avoid this you can copy your SSH/RSA public key to the remote server to use just one command. Or use a Perl script or something.... | 18:47 |
| TheLimeRunner | But when I don't have it installed I can do the full 1024x768 | 18:47 |
| TheLimeRunner | Any ideas? | 18:48 |
| wyn | bsod1: do remember the : on the end as that puts it in your home folder | 18:48 |
| bsod1 | dot-slaSh: I have no idea about ssh/rss keys | 18:48 |
| cached | how do i find out where the postgres databases are being physically stored? I want to do a file-system level backup | 18:48 |
| FastReading | KevinSJ: yeah, "cat /etc/group" , look for the row with the group you want to query and in the same line, separated by commas, there will be the list of users | 18:48 |
| Doug_Edey | TheLimeRunner: Which driver? | 18:48 |
| wyn | dotslaSh: Im way to para about security to do that : ) | 18:48 |
| dot-slaSh | bsod1, it basically is uploading or adding your SSH public key to the remote server to have "password-less" access. you can read on that... | 18:48 |
| TheLimeRunner | I don't know the exact one, as I am currently doing the reinstall. But only one came up in the hardware drivers dialouge. | 18:49 |
| bsod1 | dot-slaSh: then I can use scp? | 18:49 |
| seekwill | cached: I'd talk to #postgresql about your plans... | 18:49 |
| iRy | Does somebody have a HOWTO to install the Qualcomm Gobi firmware and driver? | 18:49 |
| cached | seekwill: why's that? | 18:49 |
| Doug_Edey | TheLimeRunner, You need to manually install the legacy driver, | 18:49 |
| TheLimeRunner | What's the name of the package? | 18:49 |
| wyn | cached: normally tar -cf backup.tar /usr/local/pgsql/data will do it | 18:50 |
| dot-slaSh | bsod1, you can use scp without the rsa/ssh keys but it will prompt for username/password. if you dont wnat to have to enter user/passwd then you can use the rsa/ssh keys. | 18:50 |
| cached | wyn: there is no /usr/local/pgsql | 18:50 |
| bsod1 | dot-slaSh: ok, thanks. | 18:50 |
| Doug_Edey | TheLimeRunner, http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html You want the 96.43 series I think | 18:50 |
| wyn | cached: maybe a diffrent place on mine then yours , grep for it | 18:50 |
| KevinSJ | FastReading, Thanks. | 18:50 |
| cached | wyn: grep for what? pgsql? | 18:50 |
| KevinSJ | FastReading, what does the xNumber mean? | 18:51 |
| KevinSJ | FastReading, for an example: ksj:x:1005: | 18:51 |
| FastReading | that's the password, which is shadowed, so that the file cannot be cracked | 18:51 |
| TheLimeRunner | Doug_edgy Alright I'll give it a shot. | 18:51 |
| TheLimeRunner | Thanks. | 18:51 |
| dot-slaSh | bsod1, you can read on rsa/ssh keys here: http://linuxproblem.org/art_9.html | 18:51 |

| TheLimeRunner | Oops sorry. | 18:52 |
| dot-slaSh | cached, your looking for pgsql? yea it might be in /var/lib/ | 18:52 |
| wyn | cached: on mine its here (checked lucid) /var/lib/postgresql/8.4/main | 18:53 |
| Taravel | PS.: I tryed debian stable and it worked creating a boot partition because thi PC is old and need this partition | 18:53 |
| wyn | cached: I was on another flavour on ssh, forgot it wasnt ubuntu : ) | 18:53 |

| sacarlson | Taravel: there used to be a trick to setup graphics to vesa if the graphic drivers didn't work. not sure how to implement that now. | 18:54 |

| cached | wyn: so if i backup /var/lib/postgresql/8.3/main i'm safe? | 18:54 |
| Taravel | d'oh so I can't run ubuntu? | 18:54 |
| Doug_Edey | Taravel: Boot off the livecd, mount the internal hard drive on the PC and etc /media/drive_name/etc/xorg.conf (may need to be recreated) | 18:55 |
| sacarlson | Taravel: it was a boot thing like add vga=XXX or something like that | 18:55 |
| wyn | cached: yes, though there are better ways to back it up which mean you can restore much faster if you need to make a clean install | 18:55 |
| cached | dot-slaSh: there is a /var/lib/postgresql | 18:55 |

| wyn | cached: ouch : ( yeah back that folder up, then move it back on | 18:55 |
| dot-slaSh | cached: you're better off backing up with postgres dump first, you can also stop pgsql and then copy that directory but the dump is preferred | 18:55 |
| Taravel | the problem is that I can't run live cd...I installed ubuntu by means of alternate cd | 18:56 |
| cached | dot-slaSh: i can't run the server. it's broken =( | 18:56 |
| dot-slaSh | cached, use this: pg_dumpall -U postgres > ${BUALL_FILE} | 18:56 |
| dot-slaSh | cached, eewww | 18:56 |
| computerfreaker | Does the LiveCD require a minimum amount of RAM (I'm using the 8.10 desktop version, if that makes a difference)? I'm asking because I just removed a faulty RAM module from the laptop that won't work with the LiveCD. | 18:56 |
| dot-slaSh | cached, I guess having a backup of that /var/lib/pgsql/data/ would be next best thing but not a guarantee..... | 18:57 |
| Doug_Edey | Taravel: when the screen goes blank can you use ctrl-alt-F1 to get to a text screen? | 18:58 |
| dot-slaSh | cached, I would cp -r /var/lib/pgsql/data/ /var/lib/pgsql/data.bak or somewhere else outside of that area and try to re-install pgsql-server | 18:58 |
| wyn | cached: best way is to backit up and make a clean same version install, move that daa folder out the way and cp over your backup, restart and do a pg_dump to rescue it | 18:58 |
| dagny_taggart | computerfreaker: 256 is minimum for 8.10 - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidReleaseNotes | 18:58 |

| Viliny_ | hello, am i here? :) | 19:35 |
| wastl | amikrop: I don't think it will | 19:35 |
| mbeierl | dschuett: are you using iptables directly or ufw (ubuntu firewall) ? | 19:35 |
| mbeierl | Viliny_: no. | 19:35 |
| dschuett | iptables directly | 19:35 |
| Young_Money | its best to switch to 64bit if you have more than 2GB of RAM | 19:36 |
| wastl | ah thats humbug | 19:36 |
| Doug_Edey | computerfreaker, hmmm, no idea, I'm willing to suspect that when it tries to load the CD into RAM it has issues and hence the issue | 19:36 |
| Viliny_ | hey quick question. Ubuntu has the remote desktop setup GUI but theres no place to input preferred port there, where can i configure the listening port? | 19:36 |
| wyn | Viliny_: do you think ? | 19:36 |
| Viliny_ | do i think? | 19:36 |
| wyn | Viliny_: therefore are you ? | 19:36 |
| mbeierl | dschuett: what I do is an iptables-save > /etc/iptables.txt and then add "/sbin/iptables-restore < /etc/iptables-txt" to /etc/rc.local | 19:36 |
| Doug_Edey | Young_Money, why? Just use PAE | 19:36 |
| Linden940 | viliny try team viewer | 19:36 |
| wyn | Viliny_: I think therefore I am :D | 19:36 |
| computerfreaker | Doug_Edey: like too little RAM, perhaps? (Not sure if you saw my earlier message or not, but I just finished removing a faulty RAM module from the computer - it only has one RAM module left) | 19:37 |
| Viliny_ | hehe, didn't mean to sound existential. Just wondering if my nick registering vent a-ok! | 19:37 |
| Doug_Edey | computerfreaker, how much is in there? How do you know it was that module that was faulty and not the other? | 19:37 |
| mbeierl | Viliny_: it vent vell apparently :) | 19:37 |
| felicity | am trying to compile tint2, but i kep getting this error, "gtk+-x11-2.0 not found" what do i need to install? | 19:37 |
| wyn | Viliny_: ah, you never now ; ) | 19:37 |
| wyn | or know... | 19:38 |
| erUSUL | felicity: libgtk2.0-dev ? | 19:38 |
| gabrielcz | Hi all there... I need some help with MONIT please? | 19:38 |
| amokpaule | Hello, when i watch a video on youtube and when i dont use keyboard or mouse ubun tu switches back to the login screen, can i turn that off? | 19:38 |
| wastl | felicity, sounds like you're missing some o the gtk devel packages | 19:38 |
| Young_Money | fact that 32 bits can't address more than 2GB of RAM | 19:38 |
| gabrielcz | anyone can helpping me setting a new monitoring using MONIT? | 19:38 |
| Viliny_ | Young_Money: the fact being somewhere closer to 3 | 19:38 |
| Doug_Edey | Young_Money, yes, yes it can, 3.25GB infact | 19:38 |
| computerfreaker | Doug_Edey: when I tried booting into Windows, I got a BSOD due to RAM issues, then all kinds of weirdness on the screen, so I figured it had to be a RAM issue. I removed one module and tried booting up with the other and got the same issue; I replaced the second module and pulled out the first, and the system is working better now. | 19:38 |
| Young_Money | lol | 19:38 |
| dschuett | mbeierl: ok, that makes sense! thanks! - I am having trouble getting my ubuntu router/firewall to work properly - do you know what i need to add to allow traffice to get routed out my eth0 (external/internet)?? | 19:38 |
| wastl | the configure scripts use some tool to check for libgtk that is in the devel package | 19:39 |
| erUSUL | Young_Money: therical limit is 4 GiB usually is less ( aroun 3.3 GiB ) | 19:39 |
| Young_Money | Doug_Edey, I have 4GB in a dual core AMD64 | 19:39 |
| mbeierl | dschuett: you are attempting to do masquerading? | 19:39 |
| wastl | or maybe your error is from pkg-config then it means that just this package is not installed | 19:39 |
| Doug_Edey | Young_Money, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension | 19:39 |
| Young_Money | Doug_Edey, thanks | 19:39 |
| * wyn loves Monit | 19:39 | |
| computerfreaker | There are 256 MB of RAM in the machine now; there were 512 MB of RAM in there when I started working on it. | 19:40 |
| Doug_Edey | computerfreaker, There could still be issues on that other module, do you have any known good? | 19:40 |
| wyn | gabrielcz: whats the issue with it ? | 19:40 |
| goldins | how do I install openoffice.org-base ? | 19:40 |
| Doug_Edey | Young_Money, limit is applications, not the OS | 19:40 |
| Young_Money | computerfreaker, You must have a tough time compiling programs on your computer | 19:40 |
| gabrielcz | Don´t know, wyn Im trying to setup a new monitoring service "mumble-server" using if failed port 80 then alert | 19:41 |
| KomiaPoika | why does gnome in ubuntu lucid lynx sometimes crash my wifi connection and it's impossible to restart it until i reboot? | 19:41 |
| Viliny_ | well while i was waiting for someone to know where to change the default vnc server port on ubuntu i gone done remembered the port i managed to put it to sometime in the past - so if nobody knows the answer i'll just be piping down :) | 19:41 |
| Young_Money | Doug_Edey, okay thanks for the info | 19:41 |
| gabrielcz | But, I get some error | 19:41 |
| computerfreaker | Doug_Edey: no, I don't have any modules that are proven OK, but the total absence of BSODs & screen weirdness since I removed the one module is just about enough to convince me | 19:41 |
| wyn | goldins: use the package manager or synaptic or apt | 19:41 |
| gabrielcz | I can paste you the conf. wyn | 19:41 |
| goldins | wyn: what's the package called? | 19:41 |
| computerfreaker | Young_Money: it's not my machine, it's a friend's. My machine has 2 GB. | 19:41 |
| goldins | wyn: never mind | 19:41 |
| wyn | goldins: open office will install it when you install open office.. | 19:42 |
| amikrop | wastl: when I get into BIOS settings, it shows 4GB RAM, but with the Ubuntu utility I am shown only 3.2GB | 19:42 |
| gabrielcz | https://gist.github.com/345b760e19deb326401b wyn that for you :) the MUMBLE-SERVER part is not woking | 19:42 |
| Doug_Edey | could still be issues though computerfreaker that Windows doesn't detect, XP can run in 128MB IIRC, whereas a liveCD uses much more. Does the CD cause the system to crash instantly | 19:42 |
| wyn | gabrielcz: its off topic here but NP with me | 19:42 |
| Doug_Edey | amikrop, install the PAE kernel | 19:42 |
| Young_Money | computerfreaker, any computer with under 1GB RAM nowadays is a very slow turtle | 19:42 |
| gabrielcz | ho, thanks wyn for helping me :) I don´t know where to ask it #monit is empty :( | 19:42 |
| amikrop | Doug_Edey: won't the 64bit Ubuntu work? | 19:43 |
| LunaVorax | How can my macbook pro can be way more hotter in ubuntu than under mac os :/ | 19:43 |
| goldins | wyn: does not. | 19:43 |
| Alonea | has anyone gotten usb to work with virtual box? I uninstalled what I have and installed the Lucid one from their website. I added the usb filters for the devices I want to use, I checked the 2.0 thing. No dice. How do you get usb to work??? | 19:43 |
| Doug_Edey | Young_Money, I only just retured a system with 128MB of RAM due to issues with the screen dying | 19:43 |
| wyn | gabrielcz: NP , if we get told off switch to #plone.org | 19:43 |
| LunaVorax | It's really alarming, it gets really hot even if I force both cpu cores to be at half the speed | 19:43 |
| computerfreaker | Doug_Edey: not instantly. I can get to the Ubuntu menu, but as soon as I select an option everything hangs, then the system shuts down about 5 minutes later | 19:43 |
| goldins | wyn: at least, I had OO installed but not base | 19:43 |
| wyn | goldins: use administration - synaptic then search for open office | 19:43 |
| TheLimeRunner | Now it fails to boot. Looks like I'm retrying a minimal install again. | 19:43 |
| Young_Money | Doug_Edey, Right 128MB that is nuts | 19:43 |
| Doug_Edey | amikrop, yes and no, not all libraries are compiled for 64bit yet and I don't feel its worth the hassle to use chroot | 19:43 |
| LunaVorax | btw wyn as I though the tip you gave me doesn't work with my mac :/ | 19:43 |
| computerfreaker | Young_Money: yeah, I know, but there's nothing I can really do about it right now. | 19:44 |
| Doug_Edey | computerfreaker, OK, could be other issues with the HW elsewhere | 19:44 |
| computerfreaker | Doug_Edey: wouldn't surprise me. This machine apparently has a long history of trouble. | 19:44 |
| Doug_Edey | Young_Money, depends on how you use it. I had it as a file server | 19:44 |
| amikrop | Doug_Edey: If I install the PAE kernel will the problems be solved? Is it difficult? Is there an official guide for Ubuntu? | 19:45 |
| Doug_Edey | computerfreaker, place on floor, put C4 on top, walk away quickly, detonate C4 | 19:45 |
| Young_Money | computerfreaker, I tried to compile a Java program on a Windows machine with 512MB and Eclipse kept crashing on me | 19:45 |
| aeon-ltd | LunaVorax: dude, limiting cpu and running intensive programs is much worse than not lmiting it | 19:45 |
| Doug_Edey | amikrop, what problems? | 19:45 |
| wyn | LunaVorax: if you find another method would be intrested to hear about it | 19:45 |
| Doug_Edey | amikrop, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE | 19:45 |
| LunaVorax | aeon-ltd, if i was running intensive program i woudn't be complaining seriously | 19:46 |
| vock | I'm having trouble with Lucid: It currently freezes on boot. Already running it with noplymouth and nomodeset flags in grub and removed quiet and splash, it seems to crash just when gdm is about to start. Trying to start gdm from the command line gave me "Failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager" | 19:46 |
| amikrop | Doug_Edey: ok, thanks | 19:46 |
| Young_Money | Even little netbooks have 1GB RAM as standard anything less and you will be struggling on your pc | 19:46 |
| LunaVorax | sure wyn ! | 19:46 |
| Jigal | hello my system (10.04) starts up every time in low graphics mode. What can i do about it | 19:46 |
| xiong | I'm not a shell warrior but I've been using bash for some time. I can't say I'm an enthusiastic command line user; I like the control/power/flexibility but I don't find the interface particularly usable. How do you remember all the commands, all their options? How do you manage typing long path names again and again? | 19:47 |
| mneptok | xiong: long pathnames are easily done with proper tab-complete | 19:48 |
| mneptok | xiong: and shell commands are no different from learning what icon to click where and what tab the setting is under | 19:48 |
| amokpaule | Hello, when i watch a video on youtube and when i dont use keyboard or mouse ubun tu switches back to the login screen, can i turn that off? | 19:49 |
| Wintemute_ | Any one here familiar with the default mounts on ubuntu??? | 19:49 |
| Wintemute_ | No one? | 19:49 |
| xiong | mneptok, Sorry but I don't think our perspectives are going to meet in the middle. No offense. | 19:50 |
| vock | is it easy to reinstall gdm from failsafeX? | 19:50 |
| wastl | Wintemute_: what do you mean with "default mounts"? | 19:50 |
| Wintemute_ | I just want to know which process mount this none on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755) | 19:50 |
| Wintemute_ | "none on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755)" | 19:50 |
| Wintemute_ | init? | 19:50 |
| Young_Money | Wintemute_, When you dual boot with Windows and Ubuntu Linux-Linux stuffs everything into / root | 19:50 |
| xiong | Is anyone aware of more friendly shells; or tools that assist with command line work? | 19:51 |
| Wintemute_ | and if I can configure it's opitions | 19:51 |
| Wintemute_ | ??? | 19:51 |
| Wintemute_ | dual boot? | 19:51 |
| _DGM_ | xiong: what exactly do you mean with that? | 19:51 |
| nndev | hi all, How do I set up in ubuntu so that by default all compilers will run on 4 processors instead of just 1 | 19:51 |
| _DGM_ | xiong: tab is your friend | 19:51 |
| Wintemute_ | Why I would do that???? | 19:51 |
| Young_Money | Wintemute_, are you on a dual boot Windows and Ubuntu Linux | 19:51 |
| itsux2bu | why does a 32-bit ubuntu desktop from ubuntu.com take 1.5 hours.. but a torrent under 10 minutes? | 19:51 |
| Wintemute_ | Noo | 19:51 |
| Wintemute_ | ubuntu server | 19:51 |
| xiong | _DGM_, Well, not to be obtuse but if I were exactly sure what I wanted, I'd probably have it already. :) | 19:51 |
| wastl | hm maybe the kernel or init.../var/run is used to store lockfiles, sockets and pid files | 19:51 |
| _DGM_ | itsux2bu: pick a different mirror | 19:52 |
| Jordan_U | xiong: There are many options, with all of them their value is very subjective. | 19:52 |
| wastl | so better don't play around with it or some service will refuse to work | 19:52 |
| Wintemute_ | Which process mout the /dev for example? | 19:52 |
| Wintemute_ | or this: none on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755) | 19:52 |
| itsux2bu | 7 mins 40 secs.. done.. torrents wins by hours.. | 19:52 |
| wastl | Wintemute_, either kernel (if using devfs) or udevbv | 19:52 |
| Wintemute_ | Is the init process? | 19:52 |
| Wintemute_ | Can I change it's options? | 19:53 |
| _DGM_ | itsux2bu: not for me really. I download with 6 mb/s from the (dutch) ubuntu mirrors.. my torrents wont even come close to that | 19:53 |
| Wintemute_ | put noexec for example? | 19:53 |
| Wintemute_ | or mount as ro | 19:53 |
| din | so i have this usb disk that i keep getting 'sd 11:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to offline device' with. | 19:53 |
| Wintemute_ | Or should I do a script for it? | 19:53 |
| din | the drive works on other OS's | 19:54 |
| wastl | why do you want to change options on system mounts? | 19:54 |
| din | any ideas? | 19:54 |
| xiong | _DGM_, Let me try a specific example, bearing in mind that I'm asking a larger question: -- I often find it useful to "dry run" a command but the option to do so is different in various commands (--dry-run, -n, ...) and I want verbose output with this, too, of course. What's a quick way to turn the current command from "verbose dry run" to "verbose really do it" to "quiet really do it"? | 19:54 |
| Wintemute_ | <wastl> Security :P | 19:54 |
| Wintemute_ | avoid file injection and execution | 19:54 |
| dschuett | would anyone be kind enough to have a pm convo with me to help me understand what I need to add to my iptables firewall to allow traffice to get routed out of my eht0(external/internel) interface -- i am trying to get use ubuntu server 10.04 as my router/firewall | 19:54 |

| Wintemute_ | No sense to have a mount point with both... rw and exec... | 19:55 |
| === Young_Money is now known as Operation_Noodle | ||
| dschuett | I have looked at ICS in the ubuntu forums, but it doesn't explain the firewall part of it very well... | 19:56 |
| Alonea | anyone know how to get usb to work with Virtual Box in Lucid? I installed the guest additions, added my user to the vbox group thing, I added my usb devices to the filter list, and I checked the USB 2.0 box. what else do I need to do? Using latest VirtualBox for lucid from their website | 19:56 |
| dschuett | any help is appreciated | 19:56 |
| wastl | well if /dev is mounted ro the system cannot create any device nodes...which it has to if you connect e.g. some usb drive | 19:56 |
| Wintemute_ | Is a server... | 19:56 |
| Wintemute_ | no drivers | 19:57 |
| _DGM_ | every system has drivers... | 19:57 |
| _DGM_ | even if they're generic.. they're still drivers | 19:57 |
| Wintemute_ | no | 19:57 |
| wastl | Alonea: hm i updated my virtualbox to the latest one from the virtualbox website for lucid and usb worked out of the box | 19:57 |
| * _DGM_ slaps Wintemute_ | 19:57 | |
| _DGM_ | yes. | 19:57 |
| Wintemute_ | Hmm... | 19:57 |
| wastl | no need to manually start hald or such crap like before | 19:57 |
| Wintemute_ | no | 19:57 |
| erUSUL | Wintemute_: root has to be exec a rw so you can run ( exec) the programs you install ( r-Writting them ) | 19:57 |
| Jordan_U | xiong: Unfortunatly I think there is no better answer than to look at a man page / cheat sheet for the correct options (using up arrow to edit a previously run command). | 19:57 |
| Alonea | wastl: :(...I see my devices on the list at the bottom, but they are all greyed out | 19:58 |
| Wintemute_ | Why should I install things on a production box???? | 19:58 |
| Wintemute_ | or... | 19:58 |
| Wintemute_ | use the usb??? | 19:58 |
| Wintemute_ | Is a server guys... pre-built | 19:58 |
| _DGM_ | build your own kernel... | 19:58 |
| _DGM_ | remove the crap you dont want | 19:58 |
| Wintemute_ | ¬¬ | 19:58 |
| xiong | Jordan_U, I've made much use of man pages. I like the bash memory well enough that I have dozens of Terminal windows open with several tabs each. | 19:59 |
| Wintemute_ | only to remount as ro??? | 19:59 |
| wastl | a server....then you better go to #ubuntu-server dude ;) | 19:59 |
| Wintemute_ | Wa! | 19:59 |
| Wintemute_ | <wastl> Thanks!!! :) | 19:59 |
| Scunizi | for some reason CUPS is not starting on boot all of a sudden | 19:59 |
| xiong | I don't find tab completion particularly helpful. | 20:00 |

| ximal | Hey guys ... I just installed 10.04 and enabled my video restriced drivers and then I get a blank screen upon login with my hd screen saying no signal | 20:01 |
| ximal | Hey guys ... I just installed 10.04 and enabled my video restriced drivers and then I get a blank screen upon login with my hd screen saying no signal , is there any way to fix this ? | 20:01 |
| Alonea | wastl: like, did you do anything special to get usb to work? maybe I need to restart instead of logging and and out after I added my user the the vbox user group thing | 20:01 |
| ximal | And I keep getting Buffer I/O Errors on device fd0 | 20:01 |
| bencc | I'm trying to edit a csv with openoffice but ubuntu tells me it is locked for editing by root. I restarted but getting same message. How can I remove the lock? | 20:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | Scunizi, i've noticed several people having the same issue - sorry i have no ideas however | 20:02 |
| xiong | Closely related in my mind (though the connection may not be apparent) is an issue about the way files and folders are stored in a filesystem. For each file there is data and a small amount of metadata. Is there any way to add *more* metadata to a file|folder, either free-form or structured, either by hand or under program control? | 20:02 |
| wastl | Alonea this was a known vbox issue in lucid...maybe you try to start hald manually before starting virtualbox | 20:02 |
| Scunizi | bencc: save the file first as an openoffice doc then reopen. .you'll be able to edit | 20:02 |
| Alonea | wastl: tried that as welll | 20:02 |
| Alonea | wastl: I am going to try rebooting... | 20:03 |
| wastl | Alonea: did you try both as root? | 20:03 |
| Scunizi | ZykoticK9: first samba bugs... now cups.. arg.. | 20:03 |
| robertzaccour | should i have my hard disk to spin down? does it matter? | 20:03 |
| Alonea | wastl: I did sudo hald, however sudo VirtualBox doesn't load it...just sits | 20:03 |
| ZykoticK9 | Alonea, don't use "sudo VirtualBox" use gksu if you MUST - but i'd recommend against running vbox as root. | 20:04 |
| bencc | Scunizi: thanks. trying | 20:04 |
| dendrite | could anyone recommend a channel where i could ask about proxies? | 20:04 |
| * MichealH seconds ZykoticK9 | 20:04 | |
| _DGM_ | theres no need to run any program like that as root | 20:05 |
| xiong | Are there *any* tools that make working with the command line or filesystem more "friendly"? | 20:05 |
| christian_lappy | dendrite: google for squid | 20:05 |
| xiong | I don't say, yet more *powerful* tools. | 20:06 |
| christian_lappy | dendrite: best gpl web por´roxy out there | 20:06 |
| christian_lappy | imho | 20:06 |
| Scunizi | xiong: screen is one.. there are also cli based file managers. | 20:06 |
| smw | xiong, what type of work with the filesystem? | 20:06 |
| dendrite | what about a proxy to use for everything, mail, chat, etc | 20:06 |
| Scunizi | xiong: nano for text editing.. mutt for email .. elinks, w3m and others for browing the net | 20:06 |
| xiong | Scunizi, Searching for 'screen' might take me awhile. Could you disambiguate? | 20:06 |
| Scunizi | !screen | xiong | 20:07 |
| ubottu | xiong: Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen | 20:07 |
| christian_lappy | dendrite: don't know such a programm | 20:07 |
| * _ng discovers christian_lappy's picture at uglypeople.com | 20:07 | |
| xiong | Thank you Scunizi++ | 20:07 |
| smw | xiong, I am not sure how screen makes things easier. It is very useful though | 20:07 |
| xiong | smw, I would like to add and make use of metadata. | 20:07 |
| smw | xiong, never used it, but this might help. http://www.midnight-commander.org/ | 20:07 |
| robertzaccour | should i have my hard disk to spin down? does it matter? | 20:07 |
| Scunizi | xiong: np :) .. once you get use to it screen is invaluable. It saves opening several tty's | 20:07 |
| smw | xiong, ok | 20:08 |
| Scunizi | xiong: irssi for irc :) | 20:08 |
| christian_lappy | _ng: ha ? | 20:08 |
| dendrite | ok here's an ubuntu question. how about compositing? i have the latest nvidia installed and removed all compiz, but i still would like compositing | 20:08 |
| Alonea | ZykoticK9: I don't want to use it as root. I just want usb to work! | 20:08 |
| dendrite | system>preferences>appearance>effects does nothing. has no options available to click | 20:08 |
| _ng | christian_lappy sorry :p | 20:09 |
| Pici | Alonea: The version of vbox that is in the Ubuntu repositories does not have USB support. You need to use the one from vbox's website for that. | 20:09 |
| ZykoticK9 | Alonea, sorry i don't have any suggestions for that. Best of luck. | 20:09 |
| Alonea | ZykoticK9: I am using the one from their website... | 20:09 |
| xangua | dendrite: enable metacity composite: gconf-editor > /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager | 20:09 |
| Pici | Alonea: Then ask in #vbox | 20:09 |
| ZykoticK9 | Alonea, i hope so - as it's the one that supports USB ;) | 20:09 |
| dendrite | ok i'll try that | 20:09 |
| Alonea | Pici: trying to...but no luck there | 20:09 |
| dendrite | it's already clicked | 20:10 |
| dendrite | terminal still wont show proper transparency | 20:10 |
| xiong | smw, I hope it comes clear, the connection between file metadata and command line friendliness. I might tag several files 'foo', then supply '-tag=foo' instead of a shell path with wildcards. | 20:10 |
| smw | xiong, I have never worked with file metadata | 20:10 |
| xangua | dendrite: then install compiz again | 20:11 |
| smw | xiong, part of the issue is everyone has come up with a system of adding metadata | 20:11 |
| xangua | metacity compositing is only for basic shadows dendrite | 20:11 |
| xiong | smw, Well, aside from the native metadata -- mtime and so forth -- I have seen nothing. | 20:11 |
| Jigal | hello my system (10.04) starts up every time in low graphics mode. What can i do about it | 20:11 |
| smw | xiong, exactly | 20:11 |
| dendrite | o ok | 20:12 |
| dendrite | thx xangua | 20:12 |
| smw | xiong, are you using a special filesystem that has support for metadata? | 20:12 |
| xiong | smw, I'm not. | 20:12 |
| guntbert | Alonea: when did you ask in #vbox? | 20:12 |
| Alonea | guntbert: a few minutes ago | 20:12 |
| smw | xiong, then how does it work? I did not think extx did that | 20:12 |
| guntbert | Alonea: try again | 20:13 |
| Taravel | can I open a terminal with a alternate cd ? | 20:13 |
| xangua | starg by giving more details Jigal | 20:13 |
| xiong | smw, I'm looking for solutions. I don't know what they are. | 20:13 |
| itsux2bu | why doesn't ubuntu.com go to dvd .iso and just ask the user which version to install.. ? | 20:13 |
| wastl | vbox btw also has some woes with ext4 | 20:13 |
| minimec | Jigal: Are you able to install some drivers in <system <administration <Hardware Drivers? | 20:13 |
| Jigal | minimec, which drivers do i need to install? | 20:13 |
| Jigal | xangua, which details you want | 20:14 |
| Alonea | guntbert: and I just got it to work...why is it when applications say to log out and back in after doing something, it never works? I added myself to the user group for vbox, logged out, logged in. No usb. I reboot. I get usb | 20:14 |
| ximal | I'm on a fresh boot and I am in the cli and cannot get sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade to work because I get an error that it is locked and in use ... What is the manual override command to undo or ignore the lock please ? | 20:14 |
| minimec | Jigal: If there are some drivers for your GPU you will see that... | 20:14 |
| smw | xiong, in that case step back. I believe you first need to use a different fs that supports metadata | 20:14 |
| xiong | smw, There are dozens, maybe hundreds of shell commands. I limit this to stuff intended for the command line that does a certain thing and exits; I draw the line at plain invocation of a interactive application. | 20:14 |
| guntbert | Alonea: strange, but nice that it works now :-) | 20:15 |
| n0body | any suggestions on a extreme small web browser for small laptops? I find all the firefox alike take too much space, with all the toolbars covering 1/4 of the screen | 20:15 |
| smw | xiong, what are you talking about? | 20:15 |
| Alonea | guntbert: heh. but seriously. over the years on all apps that said all you needed to do was log out and back in. not once has it worked....^^; | 20:15 |
| minimec | n0body: midori maybe | 20:15 |
| Jordan_U | n0body: chrome(ium) | 20:15 |
| n0body | ok guys I'll try | 20:15 |
| xiong | smw, Um, what kind of explanation should I make? I just said that there are a large number of shell commands. | 20:16 |
| smw | n0body, firefox can be made smaller | 20:16 |
| smw | n0body, I use it on my netbook | 20:16 |
| n0body | smw, how? | 20:16 |
| guntbert | Alonea: here it has, but nvm :-) | 20:16 |
| smw | n0body, get the "classic compact" theme | 20:16 |
| Jigal | minimec, no proprieatry drivers are in ise on this system , is the message i get when going to hardware drivers | 20:16 |
| tchebb | n0body: +1 for chrome(ium), but I found the privacy controls a bit shallow. | 20:16 |
| smw | n0body, next disable the bookmarks bar | 20:16 |
| n0body | smw, okay thanks | 20:17 |
| xiong | smw, Where did I get confusing? | 20:17 |
| smw | n0body, then there is an extension to get rid of the file bar and place it on the address bar area | 20:17 |
| minimec | Jigal: That means that your system is using the best possible solution. Can you give me the output of 'lspci |grep VGA' (on a console)? | 20:17 |
| emacs_noob | gnome-session in latest Lucid does NOT honor neither "/desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager" nor deprecated "/desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager" setting! Does anybody know a fix for this? | 20:17 |
| n0body | smw, good advice | 20:18 |
| smw | n0body, then get rid of the tab bar always being there (only show up when needed) | 20:18 |
| n0body | k | 20:18 |
| smw | n0body, I do this to my laptop too :-) | 20:18 |
| smw | n0body, this is years of making it smaller and smaller :-D | 20:18 |
| Jigal | http://pastebin.com/3gc9ZXG3 | 20:18 |
| n0body | okey :) | 20:19 |
| Jordan_U | n0body: Have you heard of Ubuntu netbook remix? | 20:19 |
| smw | n0body, of course, now I only use chromium and use firefox on my netbook for its size | 20:19 |
| minimec | Jigal: OK. You have an intel GPU. That line you pasted could be a good starrt for bug tracking. | 20:20 |
| n0body | Jordan_U, yes, I should have installed that one.. | 20:20 |
| smw | Jordan_U, I installed it after the fact. It is very easy to do | 20:20 |
| smw | n0body, , I installed it after the fact. It is very easy to do | 20:20 |
| minimec | Jigal: In your case you will probably be able to deactivate kms KErnelModeSettings at boot... Maybe that helps. | 20:20 |
| smw | n0body, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook | 20:21 |
| minimec | Jigal: disable kms intel ubuntu | 20:21 |
| minimec | Jigal: http://www.google.ch/search?hl=de&source=hp&q=disable%20kms%20intel%20ubuntu&meta=&aq=f&oq= | 20:21 |
| n0body | smw, hmm, would that work?? | 20:21 |
| n0body | ok | 20:21 |
| minimec | Jigal: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/KernelModeSetting | 20:22 |
| smw | n0body, it takes affect when you restart | 20:22 |
| maxie | someone know about a software i can use 2 control the bass output so i don't tear down the whole house with the bass xD | 20:22 |
| hacked_kernel | I installed kubuntu-desktop on Ubuntu and then I uninstalled it but the splash image and cursor is for kubuntu how can I return the gnome stuff again? | 20:22 |
| n0body | neat, love linux :) | 20:22 |
| smw | n0body, you can switch back and forth at login :-) | 20:23 |
| lahwran | hello everyone | 20:23 |
| dendrite | anyone here play eve online? | 20:24 |
| dendrite | with linux i mean :P | 20:24 |
| smw | Hi lahwran | 20:24 |
| smw | !ask | dendrite | 20:24 |
| ubottu | dendrite: 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. :-) | 20:24 |
| dendrite | what. ubottu. i did ask a question. "does anyone play eve online" | 20:25 |
| smw | ubottu is a bot | 20:25 |
| ubottu | Yes, I can confirm that I am a bot. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots for all information. | 20:25 |
| dendrite | yea whatever. shows u right. dumb bot | 20:25 |
| dendrite | jk jk | 20:26 |
| tchebb | dendrite: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=2249 | 20:26 |
| === ejv_ is now known as ejv | ||
| yondering | dendrite, I don't personally, but there are a lot who do. Are you having trouble getting it to work, and have you checked the appdb page for help? | 20:26 |
| smw | dendrite, lol. Do you have an issue with eve? | 20:26 |
| tchebb | I haven't tried to run it myself. | 20:26 |
| dendrite | yea it works fine except for audio, but in ubuntu 10.04 i get sloow fps. i have the latest nvidia driver from their website, and wine 1.1.42, and installed directX via wine, and used to work before, but its slow and choppy | 20:27 |
| maxie | i have a more emergency questin xD someone know about a software i can use 2 control the bass output | 20:27 |
| lahwran | dendrite, if you're just socializing, see #ubuntu-offtopic | 20:27 |
| dendrite | no no. not socializing. i need help with eve online | 20:27 |
| tchebb | dendrite: I've had so many audio issues with WINE. WinePulse fixed them all for me. | 20:27 |
| smw | dendrite, that is a question. Not, "does anyone play eve online" :-) | 20:27 |
| dendrite | technically they're both questions. but one is a more 'techinal" question than the other | 20:28 |
| dendrite | but i understand | 20:28 |
| smw | dendrite, but technically the one I said was a real question is not a question :-P | 20:29 |
| jeiworth__ | dendrite: might want to add winhq's repos and install the latest and greatest wine version 1.2 | 20:29 |
| Viglite | dendrite: tchebb, asked and answered the question, looks like | 20:29 |
| smw | jeiworth__, they are up to wine 1.3 | 20:29 |
| dendrite | viglite. its not the audio that is the problem. its just the slow fps | 20:29 |
| jeiworth__ | that's still beta, or alpha even iirc | 20:29 |
| smw | jeiworth__, I don't think so | 20:30 |
| dendrite | and smw. lol you're right...u win | 20:30 |
| KomiaPoika | in gnome how do i save my terminals positions for next login?? | 20:30 |
| Viglite | dendrite: Ahhh, many ways to help that, tweaking or hardware upgrade? | 20:30 |
| yondering | wine 1.2 (the lucid standard one) doesn't seem to require winepulse for me at least. | 20:30 |
| dendrite | ok i'll try wine repos. and look into winepulse | 20:30 |
| yondering | dendrite, side note.. you might get more help in #winehq if you haven't tried them yet. | 20:31 |
| dendrite | hardware is good. eve online worked fine with past ubuntu distributions, just for some reason i get slow fps here. im gonna try the winehq repos and see if wine pulse might help | 20:31 |
| dendrite | oki doki. thx yondering | 20:31 |
| duffydack | KomiaPoika, if you use compiz then use the Place Windows plugin | 20:31 |
| maxie | hmmm seems no answer to get here so i guess i just have 2 try again later-_- | 20:32 |
| jeiworth__ | smw: by jolly, it's even available in the repo :D | 20:32 |
| smw | jeiworth__, I know my wines. But I guess that is offtopic | 20:32 |
| jeiworth__ | ^^ | 20:33 |
| jeiworth__ | well, it's not _that_ offtopic | 20:33 |
| jeiworth__ | we _are_ talking about the ubuntu package here ;) | 20:34 |
| smw | jeiworth__, yes, of course we are... | 20:35 |
| Jordan_U | smw: http://www.theworldwidewine.com/Wine_reviews/Weekly_cheap_wine_reviews/wine_lovers_bargain_review_saub.php | 20:35 |
| Pici | Can we at least *try* to stay ontopic here? | 20:35 |
| smw | Pici, it is not like anyone is asking questions | 20:36 |
| jeiworth__ | smw: in the end we were both right though: This package is based on a recent Wine beta. ;) | 20:36 |
| khani3s | When I try to install the flash nonfree with apt-get i get: "Connecting to archive.canonical.com|91.189.88.33|:80... Timeout". I'm behind a proxy but wget and apt-get for others packages works fine. I'm using Ubuntu Server 10 | 20:36 |
| tchebb | khani3s: What package? | 20:36 |
| wildeja | Hello and good evening to all. Hope that you've all had a good day :) | 20:37 |
| khani3s | tchebb: flashplugin-installer | 20:37 |
| jeiworth__ | khani3s: can you ping archive.canonical.com ? | 20:38 |
| khani3s | jeiworth__: Yes | 20:38 |
| Viglite | I read the forums about e17, can I install that to save power and resources and do I have to add a PPA or is it in the Repositories as a one shot clean migration? | 20:39 |
| wildeja | Question: Why dose my ubuntu(LL) keep presenting me with a dialog | 20:39 |
| wildeja | sorry, hit enter accident :) | 20:40 |
| minimec | Viglite: packages.enlightenment.org Take a deb sourceline available there and replace for example 'karmic' with 'lucid'. Packages are working. There is also a key available. | 20:40 |
| AegNuddel | Why can't more than one version of a piece of software be installed? | 20:40 |
| cdavis | I am using recordmydesktop and want to specify a --window id but dont' know how to get a list of current window ids? | 20:40 |
| arzhar | erm, guys | 20:42 |
| Viglite | minimec: Thank you, so I import the key, make install/apt-get, reboot and run it? | 20:42 |
| arzhar | why the hell doom3 says that 1008 MB System Memory | 20:42 |
| arzhar | 64 MB Video Memory | 20:42 |
| arzhar | Oo | 20:42 |
| smw | AegNuddel, because the software wants the same files? | 20:42 |
| arzhar | i dont have 64mb video | 20:42 |
| wildeja | Question: Why dose my Ubuntu(LL) keep presenting me with a dialogue that tells me my password dose not match the password on my keyring? Tanks | 20:42 |
| wildeja | thanks | 20:42 |
| smw | ok | 20:43 |
| smw | oops, wrong window | 20:43 |
| AegNuddel | WEll, I do not want to use the simultaneously. It is that one version does one thing better and the other does another better | 20:43 |
| minimec | Viglite: If you have autologin set on on gdm, you will have to logout the session and then choose e17 as session. Remember! To have the network working run nm-applet. Also you may want to start gnome-settings-daemon. If you are lost, you can even start a gnome-panel with 'gnome-panel' ;) | 20:44 |
| m0ar | Hey, trying to help a friend running ubuntu to install ncmpcpp. However, his apt-get cannot find the package, can someone verify this very frightening problem? | 20:45 |
| fedtx | AegNuddel, if you want to use different versions a think u have to install a version in an other directory | 20:46 |
| Viglite | minimec: That makes sense, Thank you kindly. | 20:46 |
| VCoolio | Viglite: an alpha version of the core e packages has just been released; if you know how to compile stuff I'd do that; the deb packages are probably outdated (working, but lacking new features) | 20:46 |
| Viglite | VCoolio: That was an area where I was getting lost at, I am easily confused I guess. | 20:47 |
| tchebb | m0ar: What version is your friend running? | 20:47 |
| VCoolio | Viglite: also to save resources don't run that daemon and use other stuff for settings like ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and lxappearance for gtk themes | 20:47 |
| coreyman | what is the command line option for configuring nvidia x server? | 20:48 |
| VCoolio | Viglite: no problem, try the repo then | 20:48 |
| m0ar | tchebb: Give me a minute | 20:48 |
| dendrite | holy smokes. updating to wine. 1.2 made everything perfect | 20:48 |
| dendrite | thx guys | 20:48 |
| Viglite | VCoolio.minimec: On it now, I thank you kindly for the assistance and help. | 20:49 |
| minimec | Viglite: np. I am on it too ;) | 20:49 |
| coreyman | what is the command line option for configuring nvidia x server? | 20:50 |
| ney | hello everyone, im trying to make a lock up profile here in ubuntu 10, using sabayon. Epiphany have all my network printers on its favorites, and i didnt manage to delete this links.. how do i remove them? | 20:50 |
| dendrite | coreyman. try sudo nvidia-xconfig | 20:50 |
| m0ar | tchebb: 9.04 apparently | 20:51 |
| coreyman | dendrite thanks | 20:51 |
| tchebb | m0ar: That package is only in the default repo on 9.10 and later. | 20:51 |
| dendrite | reboot. then go to system>preferences>nvidia xserver settings | 20:51 |
| VCoolio | coreyman: in these cases, use apropos, like 'apropos nvidia' | 20:51 |
| tchebb | I'll look for a repo he can add | 20:51 |
| m0ar | tchebb: Yeah, thanks a bunch | 20:51 |
| Viglite | minimec: Looks like is better to do the LiveCD install then add the repo, or will it do that voodoo that it does so well on an already installed Gnome Desktop? | 20:52 |
| Tweaky | hi. anyone know how to go about playing live music over internet or what software i should use? im not talking about playing files i mean real time streaming guitar etc | 20:52 |
| macdonalder | I need suggestions for troubleshooting methods of a particular problem... I have several machines, Intel D510MO-based, Micron eUSB 4GB flash drives, ubuntu server install, generic kernels, ext3 filesystems... I've written a script that goes around and ssh's into each, and periodically a box will stop responding, it will accept the connection, then drop it immediately. This happens with ssh, as well as a running instance of Tomcat. | 20:52 |
| coreyman | dendrite, vcoolio every time i try to save nvidia settings it says it can not open x config file for writng. | 20:52 |
| VCoolio | coreyman: run it with gksudo, it needs to write to xorg.conf and needs root privileges I guess | 20:53 |
| macdonalder | I don't know what the problem is... connections that are already established still work (snmp traps generated from the box still make it to me), but I can open any new ones from my end | 20:53 |
| m0ar | coreyman: sudo | 20:53 |
| tchebb | m0ar: A quick search turns up this: https://launchpad.net/~aguignard/+archive/ppa | 20:53 |
| m0ar | yeah, as said | 20:53 |
| Viglite | Tweaky: Rythmbox plays streaming, is nice. | 20:53 |
| coreyman | vcoolio oh i was using sudo... also @ m0ar | 20:53 |
| ney | is there a text based editor for epiphany bookmarks? i got all my network printers in it, and cant remove | 20:53 |
| rotham | !dualboot rotham | 20:53 |
| emacs_noob | does anybody know how to change default window manager in 10.04? nothing seems to work! gconf'ing required_components/windowmanager is not being honored, metacity gets loaded even before user logs in... it's a nightmare | 20:53 |
| m0ar | emacs_noob: Welcome to ubuntu! | 20:54 |
| minimec | Viglite: Are you talking about the new compiz like morph features? That's a unofficial trunk... They are available by installing e17-morph or so... | 20:54 |
| AegNuddel | fedtx, how do you install to a different directory? | 20:54 |
| minimec | Viglite: Never tested this. | 20:54 |
| jahid | i have a NAS running with raid1, is it possible to install ubuntu on nas? my laptop running windows xp, and i dont want to overload it by installing ubuntu there. but want to install ubuntu on nas. any link or tutorial will be highly appreciated | 20:54 |
| emacs_noob | m0ar: very quaint | 20:54 |
| coreyman | m0ar, Vcoolio, still unable to write | 20:54 |
| m0ar | emacs_noob: I'm completely serious. | 20:55 |
| wildeja | Why dose my Ubuntu(LL) keep presenting me with a dialogue that tells me my password dose not match the password on my keyring? Thank you | 20:55 |
| VCoolio | Viglite: ecomorph is nice, but e17 has it's own composite module which is getting better too | 20:55 |
| seon | have you installed a glassfish app server with ubuntu lucid and the synaptic manager | 20:55 |
| robertzaccour | should i have my hard disk to spin down? does it matter? | 20:55 |
| VCoolio | coreyman: is there a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? | 20:55 |
| Tweaky | VigLite: I mean to actually stream live performace audio myself | 20:56 |
| coreyman | vcoolio i sure hope so, or i wouldn't be here now.... and yes there is | 20:56 |
| Viglite | minimec: I was looking at the Forums, looks like most ran it LiveCD and selected it, I will try it on Gnome first, like VCoolio said, log in and check Watts/Amps, CPU /MEM, if no go then I will do the LiveCD method. | 20:56 |
| emacs_noob | m0ar: guess you're serious about welcoming me... thanks! but i interpreted your response as "ubuntu doesn't allow changing WM" | 20:57 |
| Jinxed- | what is a kernal source tree? | 20:57 |
| Viglite | Tweaky: Oh, ok, there are many or a few packages for that, are you on a Server? | 20:57 |
| minimec | Viglite: I rather use e17 on a dual screen setup, as it gives you two inipendent Desktops... | 20:57 |
| m0ar | emacs_noob: Feel welcomed, but I was actually referring to the latter | 20:57 |
| gary_inNYC | is there a way to sync tasks with Ubuntu One? | 20:57 |
| m0ar | emacs_noob: It's an insane process, I hated it when I were running ubuntu | 20:57 |
| abhijit | gary_inNYC, ask in #ubuntuone | 20:58 |
| wildeja | I've posted a question, but no one has even said hello, I am a noob so am i doing something wrong? | 20:58 |
| ejv | Jinxed-: when you download the kernel sources in a tarball, unpack it, it builds the source dependency tree; typically the symbolic link is /usr/src/linux to the currently selected sources | 20:58 |
| Viglite | minimec: I solved or figured that out using a BSD then on Debian then Ubuntu, is fun learning that stuff. | 20:58 |
| emacs_noob | m0ar: yeah... insane it is. | 20:58 |
| VCoolio | wildeja: hi; if someone knows, he'll reply; else, wait some minutes and ask again | 20:59 |
| m0ar | emacs_noob: Don | 20:59 |
| m0ar | emacs_noob: Dont want to recommend it to someone new, but you _could_ purge metacity completely | 20:59 |
| Jinxed- | ejv, I need to point to it to use a makefile for some drivers for ubuntu desktop 10.04... do you know where it is? | 20:59 |
| minimec | Viglite: it definitly is... | 20:59 |
| m0ar | emacs_noob: And hurl in something good, like awesome | 20:59 |
| abhijit | bye. | 21:00 |
| Viglite | back in a few, Thank you all kindly. | 21:00 |
| ejv | Jinxed-: i have no idea what you just said, sorry dude lmao | 21:00 |
| bilalakhtar | m0ar: compiz wraps metacity, so one shouldn't purge it, as long as he/she is running GNOME | 21:00 |
| emacs_noob | m0ar: unfortunately it's not possible to get rid of metacity, since gdm obviously depends on it for decoration, all i'm trying to do is to run my preferred StumpWM... | 21:00 |
| m0ar | Ah, carp | 21:01 |
| robertzaccour | should i have my hard disk to spin down? does it matter? | 21:01 |
| m0ar | robertzaccour: Energy saving, annoying. I keep mine spinning | 21:01 |
| bilalakhtar | !metacity | m0ar | 21:01 |
| m0ar | bilalakhtar: No thank you, I say | 21:02 |
| Jinxed- | ejv, in a readme file it says KERNELDIR: Defines where the complier mayt find your (well configured ) kernel source tree... then i am supose to do make VIDEO_MEM_BLOCKS=3072 KERNELDIR=/something/something/something | 21:02 |
| robertzaccour | m0ar, thanks. man. i was starting to wonder if any of the hundreds of people here knew after an hour of no responses lol thanks | 21:02 |
| quentusrex | Anyone know how to purge a manual install of vlc, and install the packaged version? | 21:02 |
| m0ar | robertzaccour: Np man | 21:02 |
| m0ar | robertzaccour: Actually, if you keep your PC on 24/7 it only makes the disk take more damage, even if it's extremely minor | 21:03 |
| m0ar | robertzaccour: The art of slowing down and speeding up is often more grueling than to keep it at the correct RPM | 21:03 |
| robertzaccour | m0ar, so its better to leave my computer on and not turn it off? | 21:03 |
| VCoolio | quentusrex: depends on how you manually installed; if with 'make install' go into the source folder and do 'sudo make uninstall' | 21:03 |
| jimmy51_ | my device notifier is acting up. it's still listing some stuff that is no longer connected and isn't listing newly plugged in USB stuff. how can i have it re-detect? | 21:04 |
| m0ar | robertzaccour: Depends, if you don't have any reason to keep it on you should turn it off :) | 21:04 |
| jimmy51_ | ( i could reboot, but i have VM's running i don't want to stop) | 21:04 |
| quentusrex | thanks VCoolio I didn't know about make uninstall | 21:04 |
| m0ar | robertzaccour: But torrents/folding/important stuff may keep it on for me | 21:04 |

| wildeja | VCoolio, "He'll"? lol | 21:05 |
| emacs_noob | well... gnome-session depends on metacity, so is gdm.... insanity, real insanity | 21:05 |
| m0ar | emacs_noob: Hurl gnome+everything into the bin, run your WM without a DE and run SLIM as log-in manager if you want that :) | 21:05 |
| quentusrex | VCoolio, luckily vlc dev's did add those rules. | 21:05 |

| Jinxed- | how much would it cost to have someone update a driver for a pc 104 mpeg video encoder that used to work with the 2.6.12 kernal to get it to work for 2.6.32 and more imporantantly how long | 21:06 |

| yggdrasil | i have a second hard drive in my box, sdb and i always have to go place > sdb1 to mount it, is there a gui method of making this mount with permissions for everyone automatically? | 21:17 |
| coreyman | When I run 'sudo nvidia-settings' and try to save to file it says it can not write to the file no matter what file I try to write to. I tried to make a clean xorg.conf in my home directory with only the device block and I still get this error that it can't write to the file. Can someone help me? | 21:17 |
| Quintin | yggdrasil: yggdrasil edit /etc/fstab | 21:18 |
| Tweaky | anyone know how to stream live audo in ubuntu? not listen to but rather broadcast from audio input | 21:18 |
| yggdrasil | Quintin: im just wondering if theres a gui method of that | 21:19 |
| Quintin | Tweaky: ustream.tv ? | 21:19 |
| yggdrasil | there should be. | 21:19 |
| dataviruset | Tweaky: something like SHOUTcast? | 21:19 |
| Quintin | yggdrasil: no idea. dont' care. yes, there probably should be. :) | 21:19 |
| Tweaky | basically i want to be able to play guitar live over the net | 21:19 |
| Quintin | Tweaky: ustream.tv then | 21:19 |
| emacs_noob | m0ar: yeah, still here | 21:20 |
| Quintin | yggdrasil: I had to think for like a minute what file had mountpoints. :\ | 21:20 |
| emacs_noob | m0ar: dbus is needed for an app i'm working on | 21:20 |
| Tweaky | no video though just audio | 21:20 |
| emacs_noob | m0ar: plus it's the only indirect way to communicate with bluetooth devices | 21:20 |
| m0ar | emacs_noob: Well, then I understand :) | 21:20 |
| razass | can I uncompress a *.tgz file into another directory in the terminal? | 21:20 |
| Makdaam | hello | 21:21 |
| yggdrasil | Quintin: i didnt but i hate goign i nthere, and then i always get confused about permeissions | 21:21 |
| dreamer000 | Tweaky: just pulseaudio which will be taken over a server with maybe just PHP? Will that work? | 21:21 |
| emacs_noob | m0ar: i had a choice, to either use blueZ directly from within my app or to use dbus, i chose the latter | 21:21 |
| Quintin | yggdrasil: confused about permissions in what regard? | 21:22 |
| yggdrasil | im gonna try psydm | 21:22 |
| yggdrasil | well one can generally only give permissions to one user, and then it almost always end up so that only root can write to it. | 21:23 |
| Tweaky | dreamer000: hmm im not sure. just want to broadcast audio only i suppose. not sure how to do that. live audio broadcast from PC input | 21:23 |
| dreamer000 | pulseaudio as a local server | 21:24 |
| dreamer000 | if bandwidth enough, then just dynDNS? | 21:24 |
| guntbert | yggdrasil: every file is owned by a group and every memebr of that group gets its permissions | 21:25 |
| Tweaky | dreamer000 dynDNS? | 21:25 |
| dreamer000 | http://www.dyndns.com/ | 21:26 |
| yggdrasil | guntbert: thanks | 21:26 |
| ejv | Jinxed-: what are you trying to compile? | 21:26 |
| ejv | Jinxed-: your kernel source tree will be under... /usr/src | 21:26 |
| Makdaam | pulseaudio is not a good solution for general audio broadcasting | 21:26 |
| Makdaam | it's uncompressed | 21:27 |
| guntbert | yggdrasil: no problem :) | 21:27 |
| dreamer000 | so maybe compress a stream on the fly? | 21:27 |
| dataviruset | may I steal more IP adresses to my server by simply adding more "auto" lines in my /etc/network/interfaces file? (i've got 1 NIC) | 21:27 |
| erUSUL | dataviruset: no you add "virtual" ifaces. eth0:1 eth0:2 etc ... one interface can only have one ip | 21:28 |
| ramvi | How do I aptitude remove everything but ubuntu-minimal ? | 21:28 |
| ramvi | something like grep -v which does the opposite of the regular | 21:29 |
| dataviruset | erUSUL: can't i just add "auto eth1" and "iface eth1 inet dhcp"? :p | 21:29 |
| minimec | Tweaky: I would rather think in the direction of icecast http://www.boutell.com/newfaq/creating/broadcastlive.html | 21:30 |
| === JimmyJ|zz is now known as JimmyJ | ||
| ejv | Jinxed-: ls -lha /usr/src/ | grep "linux-headers" | 21:30 |

| TimeRider | darn ubuntu.... been having a lot of issues with a virtual machine since updating to 10.04-1 | 21:30 |
| Jordan_U | erUSUL: Isn't that notation used for vlans though? You can have a nic listening for multiple IP addresses without vlans, though whether you *should* is another question :) | 21:30 |
| TimeRider | ureadahead, fsck, then hangs till it dumps loadsa errors... anyone else seeing similar? not sure if it's only when mounting an ext3 drive | 21:31 |
| Scunizi | TimeRider: virtualbox? | 21:31 |
| TimeRider | qemu | 21:31 |
| Scunizi | ah | 21:31 |
| erUSUL | Jordan_U: i do not know of a way with idconfig to assing more than one ip to a single iface ( eth0 ) | 21:31 |
| dataviruset | erUSUL: okay, so it's only names? :) | 21:31 |
| swaj | When trying to enable protocol 41 in ufw, I get Unsupported protocol '41' -- does anyone know how to enable proto 41 with ufw? | 21:32 |
| TimeRider | all has been fine, just installed it a few days ago, then update and bang.... seems more3 stable since I took out smartmontools, but not sure... | 21:32 |
| dataviruset | erUSUL: that's not what i wanted to do, i wanted to have more interfaces (more IP adresses), but with just one NIC | 21:32 |
| erUSUL | dataviruset: and that's exactly what you got | 21:32 |
| TimeRider | data: eth0:1 eth0:2 | 21:32 |
| guntbert | dataviruset: virtual interfaces still share one real interface | 21:32 |
| dataviruset | nice | 21:33 |
| erUSUL | dataviruset: a single nic with ultiple ifaces each one with one ip | 21:33 |
| swaj | I had to manually set a rule (iptables -A INPUT -p 41 -j ACCEPT) to get protocol 41 working, but I'd really prefer to do this with ufw if possible. any ideas? | 21:33 |
| dataviruset | erUSUL: thanks :) | 21:33 |
| dataviruset | and thanks to you other guys too :D | 21:34 |
| murlidhar | how can i change the tty resolution ? | 21:35 |
| Jordan_U | erUSUL: It looks like adding multiple ips to an interface does create eth0:0, eth0:1 etc. | 21:36 |
| erUSUL | Jordan_U: that's my understanding of the things.... maybe the "ip" command can make more creative names i dunno | 21:36 |

| ViN86 | kkerwin: youre on XP? | 21:45 |

| LorgonJortle | I've recently purchased a Dell Studio 17, and I Ubuntu 10.04 x64 on it. I love the machine, but the function (F1, F2, F3, etc) buttons don't perform regular tasks. Instead, they do things like change the volume or brightness. Is there any way to control this? | 21:46 |
| ViN86 | kkerwin: apparently it can be done in vista and later, but XP requires 3rd party extensions | 21:47 |
| swaj | for those that care, enabling protocol 41 in ufw can be done like this: sudo ufw allow proto ipv6 from 72.52.104.74 <-- where that IP on the end is the REMOTE ipv4 endpoint for your tunnel | 21:47 |
| kkerwin | Damn. | 21:47 |
| ViN86 | kkerwin: an alternative is a VPN with a samba share on the linux client | 21:47 |
| switch10_ | ikonia: sorry I meant jahid | 21:47 |
| ney | minimec: got neither of this files | 21:47 |

| swaj | ikonia: it's a protool by which ipv6 traffic is routed over ipv4 in a tunnel. ufw didn't like the decimal protocol number, I had to use the friendly name | 21:51 |
| erUSUL | FrozenFire: checked the logs around the time transmission dies ? | 21:51 |
| ikonia | swaj: shouldn't ufw referece services (file) ? | 21:51 |
| ney | minimec: i see. to be honest this was the first place iv searched, in home for the hidden epiphany files related. But the annoying is that i can only use epiphany to use lockup features from gnome + sabayon, and epiphany get stucked with this bookmarks i dont wanna the kiosk user to visit | 21:51 |
| switch10_ | FrozenFire: do you get any errors starting transmission from command line? | 21:51 |

| ikonia | LorgonJortle: this may sound stupid, but have you tried a reboot ? | 21:58 |
| lap_dragon | Does that tell me how to rip DVDs or just how to play them? | 21:58 |

| panfist | i have created a new user on my machine, and i want to lock down the permissions as much as possible. when i log in with the new, locked-down account, an NFS network drive isn't showing up properly | 22:15 |
| guntbert | LorgonJortle: then something is really wrong, here it reports eycode 151 (in the 3rd line of a block) | 22:16 |
| LorgonJortle | guntbert: It gives nothing for the FN key. It also gives nothing for F6, which turns on the keyboard backlight. But if I press FN+F6 (which is the "normal" F6), it throws an event. | 22:16 |
| projeta | rww: yes. should I download the UpgradeTool ? | 22:16 |
| mickster04 | panfist: then you haven't allowed the user to access the drive, what restrictions have you placed on the user? | 22:16 |

| mickster04 | olskolirc: have you installed the latest grub (default after 9.10) | 22:17 |
| Maletor | Let's say I want a separate /home partition, but I'm also going to have a huge database? What do? | 22:17 |
| zeknox | Blazento: can you see wireless networks when you left click? | 22:17 |
| Blazento | no | 22:17 |
| mickster04 | Blazento: click on a wireless network name | 22:17 |
| panfist | mickster04 i have gone into the gnome system > administration > users and groups dialog and disabled all the permissions for that user in the advanced dialog | 22:17 |
| zeknox | Blazento: then the drive is not installed | 22:17 |
| stevecoh1 | how do I find hardware info? I know it has 4GB of ram | 22:17 |

| mickster04 | panfist: can you connect to the network with that user> | 22:17 |
| erUSUL | Maletor: separate both /home and /var ( where ususally DB are) to its own partitions ? | 22:17 |
| zeknox | stevecoh1: if you have 4GB of ram and it is hanging you have issues | 22:17 |
| jk_ | olskolird: to change menu colors you have to go into /etc/grub.d and edit the "05" file. It's a bit of a pain. | 22:17 |
| LorgonJortle | guntbert: Alright, thanks. | 22:18 |
| rww | projeta: I'm out of ideas, so unless anyone else has any, then that's what I'd do. Some things to note: | 22:18 |
| Maletor | erUSUL: That does not seem scalable... | 22:18 |
| panfist | mickster04 except i actually can browse the share, the links just appear broken until i click them | 22:18 |
| erUSUL | Maletor: becouse? ... | 22:18 |
| Blazento | what about the driver? | 22:18 |
| Maletor | erUSUL: Is there a more scalable solution? Something that could vary? | 22:18 |
| olskolirc | oh wow jk_ im not liking this grub2 or grub-pc whatever it is | 22:18 |
| guntbert | LorgonJortle: Good luck :-) (and good night, its past bedtime here) | 22:18 |
| rww | projeta: 1) you should create a new directory and untar the upgrade tool there, because it's set up to extract its contents into the current directory. 2) you'd run it with sudo ./dist-upgrade.py | 22:18 |
| Maletor | erUSUL: Well the database may be big and it may not be big, how could we ever reasonably estimate that? | 22:18 |
| mickster04 | panfist: what does appear broken mean? (i havent had this problem sorry) | 22:18 |
| erUSUL | Maletor: instad of partitions use lvm so you can grow the space as needed ? | 22:18 |
| LorgonJortle | guntbert: G'night. :P | 22:18 |
| Blazento | I have been able to connect before and I can connect to the wireless network using my iphone | 22:18 |

| emacs_noob | to anybody who's interested in changing their default window manager in latest Ubuntu Lucid - It IS possible and no hack is required! There's a proper way! Just copy /usr/share/applications/metacity.desktop to "any WM name".desktop in same directory, then edit it to reflect your required WM. | 22:19 |
| rww | projeta: let me know whether it ends up working | 22:20 |
| erUSUL | Maletor: well i can not for sure even do a stmate from where i am. but you are installing the system and you know what db are going to use and for what. | 22:20 |
| mickster04 | panfist: the prolem will be some of the restrictions you have set will be too limiting...network related ones. On my set up i can select individual settings to restrict | 22:20 |
| Maletor | erUSUL: So you are saying you always know how big the database you are designing for is going to be? | 22:20 |
| pie_time | what package do i need to install for my laptops multimedia buttons to work? | 22:20 |
| zeknox | Blazento: you need to install the missing wireless driver | 22:20 |
| Maletor | erUSUL: I guess the goal here is efficiency. | 22:21 |
| zeknox | Blazento: goto System -> | 22:21 |
| Jordan_U | olskolirc: Sorry, looks like a difference between Debian's default theme setup and Ubuntu's. | 22:21 |
| erUSUL | Maletor: no; i say that you have more info than I to make the guess. i also pointed out the tecnology solution ( lvm ) for the problem you are presenting | 22:21 |
| zeknox | Blazento: goto System -> Administration - Hardware Drivers | 22:21 |
| olskolirc | i edited, im goint to reboot now | 22:22 |
| Maletor | erUSUL: Also, feel free not to answer this, but do you know of any hardware controller capable of doing 6 drives? Or do you daisy chain them? | 22:22 |

| panfist | i have a user that is configured to log in automatically, but the user is actually logging in too fast, because the desktop is rendered before network shares are mounted, causing all my links to appear broken | 22:34 |
| Linden940 | but I think you maybe able to set them as "quick keys" to have them open apps | 22:34 |
| Linden940 | well i am out of here for now | 22:35 |
| olskolirc | thanks Jordan_U | 22:36 |
| Linden940 | take care ya'll | 22:36 |
| mickster04 | panfist: as far as I'm aware, the network shares are always mounted once the user is loggeed in...well done on working that out..I can't imagine you'll fix that unless you can set up share mounting at boot... | 22:36 |
| Jordan_U | olskolirc: You're welcome. | 22:36 |
| test34 | panfist, are you using fstab? | 22:37 |
| panfist | mickster04 in the gnome system > administration > login screen, i configured a 30 second delay to allow other users to log in, and in that time, the network shares mount and everything looks great | 22:37 |
| panfist | test34 yes | 22:38 |
| gabrielcz | anyone can try to help me? :D | 22:38 |
| mickster04 | panfist: well done:D | 22:38 |
| panfist | well, ideally, i'd like to do away with the delay, but this is working for now | 22:39 |
| panfist | gabrielcz you might have better luck asking in #linux or #python | 22:39 |
| gabrielcz | panfist: is on a bashscript | 22:39 |
| gabrielcz | but, I will ask on #linux | 22:39 |

| Andy-at-home | 'yum install MySQL-python26' says 'No package MySQL-Python26 available.' but its been mention in lots of forums | 23:05 |
| rww | Andy-at-home: umm. EPEL is a Fedora thing, assuming we're using the same acronym. Perhaps you should try #fedora? | 23:05 |

| rww | xomp: yes | 23:18 |
| xomp | rww, cool, thought I'd ask. I don't have it installed or anything but am on a tiny netbook now and was curious about it | 23:18 |
| xomp | someone said there was to be big changes to the netbook remix here real soon, anyone know if that's the case? I tend to stumble upon stuff a week before a major point release lmao | 23:19 |
| rww | xomp: Ubuntu Netbook 10.10 will have a significantly different interface to Ubuntu Netbook 10.04 | 23:20 |

| xomp | oh thanks | 23:21 |

| trism | cgroza: indentation is part of the syntax in python, you need to make sure you indent your blocks with the same number of spaces or tabs so they match, or python will not be able to interpret it correctly, you'll probably find more help in #python | 23:23 |
| pucko- | indented? | 23:23 |
| trism | cgroza: although if you pastebin the file, I'll take a look | 23:23 |
| olskolirc | now i forgot what i wanted to ask | 23:23 |
| rww | olskolirc: the bots aren't broken, you weren't identified. | 23:23 |
| olskolirc | yeah i see i had a _ under my name | 23:24 |
| cgroza | trism, thankyou, i will pastebin the file. thanks very much | 23:24 |
| olskolirc | hey umm, i have a paragraph of software im writing a bash install script and I don't rember how to sort alphabetically even with -d its the same | 23:24 |
| rww | olskolirc: sort -df, perhaps? | 23:25 |
| olskolirc | thanks rww | 23:25 |
| rww | without -f, it sorts all upper-case before all lower-case | 23:25 |
| cgroza | trism, http://pastebin.com/9SzxbwbX | 23:25 |
| cgroza | trism, there is a link, also, im a begginer | 23:26 |
| olskolirc | no its still scrambled rww | 23:26 |

| bichonfrise74 | Does anyone know how to configure VZaccess Manager (Verizon Access Manager) in Ubuntu 10.04? | 23:32 |
| trism | cgroza: definitely incorrect indentation, but I'm not sure of a straightforward way to fix it because of all the inner function definitions, that seem like they will never be called. Only tip I can give is that you need to remember to indent every line after each block that you want to be part of the block, such as the if statements, and function definitions | 23:33 |
| infid | does anyone know if iTunes works in WINE? | 23:33 |
| olskolirc | sort so sux | 23:33 |
| cgroza | ok, thanks | 23:33 |
| rww | infid: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1347 : in short, not really | 23:34 |
| infid | do you know if a way in linux to put songs on a non jailbroken ipod touch? | 23:34 |
| rww | infid: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone is our community help page for iPhone and iPod Touch, see if that helps at all | 23:35 |
| olskolirc | wow ls -a and grep and sort doesn't work on karmic | 23:36 |
| trism | cgroza: you should really separate the perimeter/volume/surface functions, they can each recursively call selection (although python has a very low recursion limit, so generally not a great idea), and modify selection call perimeter/surface/volume depending on the input | 23:36 |
| olskolirc | oh i got it i was in the wrong dir | 23:36 |
| infid | thanks rww | 23:37 |
| sdk | Here's a puzzler for you. When I try and open a volume in Gnome, my media player opens (in this case, Miro). As in I have a link on the Gnome desktop pointing to /media/storage/. I click on it and Miro opens rather than Nautilus. Any ideas why and how I reset it? Not sure what happened to set it that way. | 23:38 |

| shawnboy | Anyone here use Bluefish 2.x editor in Lucid? | 23:52 |
| trism | cgroza: more like this http://pastebin.com/7GkL4Mjz although I would remove the recursion and use an infinite loop instead, so you don't hit the limit | 23:52 |
