| Adriannom | hiku, it sits on your machine and ecrypts everything before uploading. very nice | 01:00 |
| mickster04 | jsolera: #ubuntu-server | 01:00 |
| adac | It did replace my sshd | 01:00 |

| ActionParsnip | adac: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-check-linux-rootkist-with-detectors-software/ | 01:00 |
| hiku | Adriannom: yeah, very cool. rsync+ssh does the same thing =) | 01:00 |
| hiku | Adriannom: I'm just old school that way =) | 01:01 |
| adac | thune3, yes thats what i will do probably. Currently I'm just to curious to find some more things out about this thing | 01:01 |
| Adriannom | hiku, sounds good, except this needs 0 experience ;) | 01:01 |
| hiku | Adriannom: yeah I was just gonna mention that. =) | 01:01 |
| windowxpuser | i have a hp laptop that has broadcom builtin wireless.. that it does not recognize | 01:02 |
| UnderSampled | I'm installing kate on (gnome)ubuntu 10.04, and it seems to be stuck at: kbuildsycoca4(4788) kdemain: Emitting notifyDatabaseChanged ("servicetypes", "xdgdata-mime", "services", "apps") | 01:02 |

| ubottu | venzil: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 01:02 |
| razz1 | is there a live cloning application for ubuntu that I can use to save the image to a remote location? | 01:02 |
| Adriannom | hiku, however, don't suppose there's a good guide on doing it with rsync+ssh? | 01:02 |
| Riddell | UnderSampled: it's just updating the settings cache | 01:03 |
| UnderSampled | Riddell: why is it stuck there? | 01:03 |
| Riddell | you can run kbuildsycoca4 manually if you want to check if it's running ok | 01:03 |
| hiku | Adriannom: just for starters. - http://troy.jdmz.net/rsync/index.html | 01:03 |
| Falcon500 | Send me a PM if anyone knows about one. | 01:03 |
| UnderSampled | Riddell: can I just ^C out of it? | 01:03 |
| hiku | Adriannom: - secure way to do it - http://sial.org/howto/rsync/ | 01:03 |
| Adriannom | hiku, thanks. is rsyncing a home dir between machines better than using nfs? | 01:03 |
| Riddell | UnderSampled: I doubt that'll do anything, kate runs in the background usually | 01:04 |
| windowxpuser | one time it recognized the wireless but could not access.. the radio wireless indicator does not light up | 01:04 |
| hiku | Adriannom: also at a command prompt type without "" "man rsync" it's an old, stable and proven tool | 01:04 |

| rotham | any ideas on how to fix it? | 01:05 |
| thune3 | adac: maybe "sudo lsof -p 1535" might give you some ideas | 01:05 |
| windowxpuser | iwconfig recognizes the wireless card.. | 01:05 |
| UnderSampled | Riddell: I thought this was in the apt-get | 01:05 |
| foul_owl | why does uptime say three users logged in when I am the only one? | 01:05 |
| adac | thune3, I'll try that | 01:05 |
| Adriannom | hiku, know if rsyncing a home dir between machines is better than using nfs? | 01:06 |
| UnderSampled | Riddell: I can't check though, because it's filled the terminal's buffer | 01:06 |

| foul_owl | venzil: ssh | 01:06 |
| Riddell | UnderSampled: if you just press return do you get your prompt? | 01:06 |
| UnderSampled | venzil: ssh for commandline | 01:06 |
| JoeTheGuest | Someone I need some assistance.. my ubuntu vps won't accept incommming connections to any ports and with a netstat I can see that the ports I need have TIME_WAIT how do I fix this | 01:06 |
| mickster04 | venzil: ssh imo | 01:06 |
| UnderSampled | Riddell: lol. I do | 01:06 |
| UnderSampled | Riddell: what''s that mean? | 01:06 |
| hiku | Adriannom: nfs is not rsync. you can rsync data over an nfs mount "man nfs", nfs is just a way to share a central set of data between computers. | 01:06 |
| UnderSampled | venzil: and if you are connecting to a linux machine, ssh can forward the gui's of programs | 01:07 |
| venzil | ok thanks so im guessing ssh is the ovious way but . is there a program i can use? | 01:07 |
| ActionParsnip | venzil: there is no "best" way for anything, each way has its benefits and disadvantages. it also matters what you are connecting for | 01:07 |
| jsolera | hello, is there a room to discuss about asterisk? | 01:07 |
| Adriannom | hiku, yeah, i know that ;) currently my home dir is on an nfs drive. if the network goes down the relevant machines freeze. | 01:07 |
| UnderSampled | venzil: ssh is two parts: ssh and sshd | 01:07 |
| UnderSampled | ssh is the client, and sshd is the server | 01:07 |
| windowxpuser | i'm using debian live cd | 01:07 |
| windowxpuser | how to enable wireless device | 01:08 |
| venzil | well im trying to connect from a linux machine to a windows | 01:08 |
| hiku | Adriannom: how are you nfs mounting? async or the default sync | 01:08 |
| Riddell | UnderSampled: apt-get installed some files which caused kbuildsyscoca to go "ooh new files, best update myself" and it printed some debugging stuff while doing the update | 01:08 |
| UnderSampled | !ssh | venzil | 01:08 |
| ubottu | venzil: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 01:08 |
| windowxpuser | laptop has broadcom | 01:08 |
| hiku | Adriannom: hard mount or soft mount? | 01:08 |
| Adriannom | hiku, default. will async fix my problems? | 01:08 |
| cromag | is there anyway to "trick" ubuntu into NOT care if a screen is attached ? | 01:08 |
| ActionParsnip | venzil: you can use rdesktop to use RDP | 01:08 |
| Riddell | UnderSampled: you probably started a KDE app on the same terminal earlier so kbuildsycoca outputs to that terminal | 01:08 |
| mneptok | venzil: you want VNC | 01:08 |
| Adriannom | hiku, whatever's default | 01:08 |
| Riddell | UnderSampled: I should fix it so it doesn't output needless debugging by default | 01:08 |
| mneptok | cromag: what do you mean "care?" | 01:08 |
| hiku | Adriannom: async tells the client that it has written data to disk, when it's really lieing | 01:08 |
| mickster04 | venzil: or rpc | 01:08 |
| will | hi alol | 01:08 |
| JoeTheGuest | Is someone going to help me.. | 01:08 |
| UnderSampled | VNC is a protocol, and is a replacement for RDP, not a client | 01:09 |
| ActionParsnip | venzil: you can enable remote login on windows and login securely with RDP. VNC has no security | 01:09 |
| will | *all | 01:09 |
| cromag | mneptok: i want to be able to unplug the screen and still run x just as normal. | 01:09 |

| JoeTheGuest | Anyone... | 01:09 |
| mickster04 | venzil: rdp is wat i meant | 01:09 |
| hiku | Adriannom: if you don't like your system to hang, I would get away from nfs mounting your home dir and just use rsync to sync changes back to the central data server | 01:09 |
| venzil | i will use ssh but does the other computer need a program | 01:09 |
| JoeTheGuest | WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO HELP ME | 01:09 |

| Adriannom | hiku, right. just so i know i'm on the right track. thanks a lot :) | 01:10 |
| mickster04 | JoeTheGuest: what? | 01:10 |
| JoeTheGuest | I asked like 5min ago | 01:10 |
| JoeTheGuest | No answer | 01:10 |
| maco | JoeTheGuest: try #ubuntu-server if its a server thing | 01:10 |

| maco | JoeTheGuest: no answer often means "we dont know either" | 01:10 |
| ActionParsnip | JoeTheGuest: then wait longer, 5 mins is nothing at all | 01:10 |
| hiku | Adriannom: your welcome! | 01:10 |
| WinstonSmith | ubottu : lol | 01:10 |
| JoeTheGuest | Its simple port issue I can't figure out | 01:10 |
| ubottu | Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 01:10 |
| Adriannom | hiku, :D | 01:10 |
| ActionParsnip | JoeTheGuest: reboot the server | 01:10 |
| JoeTheGuest | I did | 01:11 |
| foul_owl | why does uptime say three users logged in when I am the only one? | 01:11 |
| JoeTheGuest | First thing I did | 01:11 |
| maco | JoeTheGuest: i would *guess* you have a hung process listening on a port since it says WAIT | 01:11 |
| JoeTheGuest | Iv tied different ports | 01:11 |
| JoeTheGuest | Remade the conf | 01:11 |
| JoeTheGuest | Rebooted | 01:11 |
| BrixSat | how do i uninstall a program? like complete remove so i can install it again and reconfigure it | 01:11 |
| JoeTheGuest | Nothing fixes it | 01:11 |
| jsolera | what room is for asterisk ? | 01:11 |
| ActionParsnip | JoeTheGuest: is the server on some hosted service out on the web? | 01:11 |
| razz1 | venzil: the fastest way to connect and least hassle free is to use a VPN that way you do not have to worry about portforwards, and security. try logmein hamachi. It also depends which way you want the connection. Ubuntu to windows or the other way around. SSH is a big security risk if you do not set it up properly and its not easy to setup | 01:11 |
| hiku | BrixSat: apt-get remove "package" | 01:12 |
| JoeTheGuest | The ports are still refusing connections | 01:12 |
| hiku | BrixSat: sudo apt-get remove "package" | 01:12 |
| WinstonSmith | ubottu : just thought you comment funny... and i do not use it on a regular basis. i quite enjoy refined language | 01:12 |
| UnderSampled | foul_owl: I think that each terminal logs you in again | 01:12 |

| windowxpuser | thanks for help | 01:15 |
| jsolera | thanks | 01:15 |
| mickster04 | BrixSat: humm... and why is that a problem anyway? | 01:16 |
| foul_owl | who shows tty7 (assuming x) and pts/0 (assuming gnome terminal) but uptime still says three users. is there a bug in uptime? | 01:16 |
| BrixSat | mickster04: i get no config files | 01:16 |
| Agu10 | can I leave my computer suspended until I want to start remote desktop? | 01:16 |
| Agu10 | or something like that? | 01:16 |
| thune3 | adac: i'm not an expert in these things, i just was hoping that would give you further info. it is an sshd and not yours? | 01:16 |
| mickster04 | BrixSat: right so run the program, it will auto generate prolly | 01:16 |
| BrixSat | no | 01:16 |
| WinstonSmith | razz1 : which version ? cause i have since years running the same version which has timeout issues with the new logmein | 01:16 |
| BrixSat | mickster04: wont start due to lack of config :p | 01:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Agu10: i see, then vnc is for you, vnc has no security so I hope you are using an ssh tunnel | 01:17 |
| UnderSampled | foul_owl: try running "users" to see just the list of users | 01:17 |
| edbian | Agu10, You can't come out of suspend remotely. On some computers though (with a wired nic) you can turn them on remotely using wake on lan (wol)! :) | 01:17 |
| Agu10 | ActionParsnip: I'm not. | 01:17 |
| mickster04 | BrixSat: check the -h command it may give you an optoin to generate the config | 01:17 |
| kwikwag | is this a good place to ask a question about problems connecting via samba/cifs to a windows vm? | 01:17 |
| Agu10 | edbian: how can I set that up? do most modern computers have this feature? | 01:17 |
| iConfused | thune3, I found out something about my audio troubles. I can keep the PCM all the way up, and just turn off the LFE completely. I just don't get the subwoofer. But, bam, no audio quality degradation :D | 01:18 |

| adac | thune3, well ps aux | grep ssh shows nothing. But still the ssh server is running. I noticed it because normally I run sshd on port 2222 then on one day it was not accessible anymore i realized it was accessibel over 22 again. | 01:18 |
| razz1 | WinstonSmith: its ver 2, heres the link https://secure.logmein.com/US/labs/, you will be impressed | 01:18 |
| edbian | Agu10, Yes. Most modern computer do. Look in the bios for a WOL or Wake On Lan feature. (like I said only on wired nics) then use a program like etherwake to send a magic packet to that computer(s IP address). And the machine should turn on! :) It's very cool. | 01:18 |
| WinstonSmith | razz1 : THX man :D | 01:18 |
| mickster04 | adac: ps aux | grep sshd | 01:18 |
| adac | thune3, so when i killthat strange process now, then also sshd dies. This must be a trojan | 01:18 |
| adac | mickster04, is the same | 01:19 |
| Agu10 | edbian: also wake up from sleeping? | 01:19 |

| WinstonSmith | razz1 : cool ver 2.x | 01:19 |
| Agu10 | edbian: I just have to send that package (even through the internet) ? | 01:19 |
| edbian | Agu10, Like I said you cannot return from suspend remotely. Not that I know of. You can however from hibernation because that is essentially off to the hardware. | 01:19 |
| edbian | Agu10, Yes even through the internet. Packet. Not package ;) | 01:20 |
| edbian | Agu10, It's very simple. | 01:20 |
| kwikwag | (well then, I guess I'll ask) q: when trying to connect to a windows (vm) share I keep getting "permission denied" on the ubuntu side; i've tried via mount.cifs, smb4k and smbclient; the windows is vmed using virtualbox ose with a bridged network. no firewall is running. on the windows side i get: "Unknown user name or bad password" | 01:20 |
| Agu10 | edbian: well, when I push the "power on" button, it wakes up from sleeping. :P I'd intuitively say it should wake up instead if it's sleeping | 01:20 |
| thune3 | iConfused: cool, glad you found something that is satisfactory | 01:21 |
| adac | thune3, mickster04 additioanlly i cn't restart sshd anymore | 01:21 |
| edbian | Agu10, It's worth a shot. | 01:21 |

My only gripe is that I cannot use the network lock feature, its only for paid versions | 01:23 |
| mickster04 | adac: have you installed ssh server? | 01:23 |
| Blue1 | adac: means you probably don't have the openssh-server instealled | 01:23 |

| cldrain | I have an HP Mini and i just installed the latest version of the netbook remix - both the wired and wireless connection does not work - | 01:25 |
| WinstonSmith | razz1 : yeah its really easy to use, been using it for years for games and to ssh into my server (dont like open ports) but since they updated th win client it started to timeout. found a fix for that but still it disconnected sometimes only to reconnect seconds later | 01:25 |
| adac | mickster04, Blue1 sudo dpkg --list | grep ssh | 01:25 |

| mickster04 | adac: then you need to work out what is using the port | 01:28 |
| kwikwag | cldrain: this might be too simple, but it's always a good check for notebooks: there's usually a shortcut for disabling/enabling the wireless features of the notebook via the keyboard; is this what you're referring to when you say 'hardware toggle"? | 01:28 |
| mickster04 | adac: what programs do you have running? | 01:28 |
| adac | mickster04, Blue1 see this: http://pastie.org/1116712 this Process �6� is using it. If I kill it then sshd dies | 01:28 |
| Agu10 | using VNC (with password) is not safe? | 01:29 |
| razz1 | WinstonSmith: if you do not want to add any more users to you network, you can lock it down, its safe that way. But right now I just use a password and manual authorisation to allow users. | 01:29 |

| edbian | Agu10, They could see the password you sent. | 01:31 |
| adac | mickster04, it seems to be exactyl my problem | 01:31 |
| mickster04 | adac: do sudo service ssh stop then see if its there | 01:31 |
| edbian | Agu10, So they could log in later. | 01:31 |
| S4ry | Hello ubuntu | 01:31 |
| edbian | S4ry, Hi | 01:31 |
| Agu10 | edbian: how can I make it safe? | 01:31 |
| edbian | Agu10, By creating an ssh tunnel. | 01:31 |
| jk_ | adac, that list you pasted shows an IP in the 172 area as the connection; that's NOT you so the concluision is that you have been invaded. | 01:32 |
| Agu10 | is that any slower, edbian ? | 01:32 |
| adac | mickster04, still there | 01:32 |
| edbian | Agu10, No. It isn't any slower: https://secure.jabsupport.com/support/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=139 | 01:32 |
| edbian | Agu10, Just more steps. | 01:32 |
| S4ry | if lubotu3 , has been kicked .. how to invite the bot back | 01:32 |
| Agu10 | thanks | 01:32 |
| mickster04 | adac: well then I guess it is extra-curricular.... I wouldn't know how to fix it:/ | 01:32 |
| edbian | Agu10, It is significantly easier to just log in remotely using ssh in the first place though. However you will be cli only (to some people that seems to be constraining but really it isn't). | 01:33 |
| adac | jk_, 172.16.1.187:22 (server internnal ip) 172.16.1.160:48142 (my internal ip) | 01:33 |
| mickster04 | adac: kill it then manually restart sshd yourself | 01:33 |
| adac | mickster04, on the next restart it would be overwritten again | 01:33 |
| Agu10 | edbian: it is in windows | 01:33 |
| maco | adac: try "ps -ef" to see the full path of that binary | 01:33 |
| maco | adac: then you can delete it | 01:33 |

| edbian | Agu10, What is. The server or the client? | 01:34 |
| Agu10 | edbian: and it is usually much slower... it depends on the use | 01:34 |
| Agu10 | it's slower to use on CLI than it is on GUI sometimes, edbian | 01:34 |
| kwikwag | q: can anyone please assist me with my troubles in cifs/samba I mentioned above? | 01:34 |
| edbian | Agu10, Oh I see. windows cli is slower. Yes probably true :) | 01:34 |

| George_e | prince_jammys: If I try to open the port in Bluetooth manager, it says "Connection Failed - port already in use." | 01:42 |
| S4ry | maco, Okay | 01:42 |
| thune3 | adac: it's appearance after atd and cron could be unrelated but it's somewhere to look /etc/cron stuff and /var/spool/cron/ stuff. Also I would install debsums and run "debsums -ac" | 01:42 |

| edbian | LinuxFetus, Try installing the package uswsusp | 02:11 |
| WinstonSmith | razz1 : same here cheers :) | 02:11 |
| mickster04 | asdf-: so why were you using the camera when you have a sd slot? | 02:12 |
| LinuxFetus | edbian: I did, but I got an error message saying something like it couldn't find my swap space. | 02:12 |
| quietone | dougsko, no output from that. | 02:12 |
| vava | How could i start a daemon process with an Owner permissions | 02:12 |
| asdf- | mickster04, i don't have an sd adapter on my windows computer | 02:12 |
| LinuxFetus | edbian: And I didn't know what to do, so I just selected no. | 02:12 |
| asdf- | mickster04, i only have my camera as an adapter for windows. my netbook has a sd slot | 02:13 |
| mickster04 | ooooh ok, well I wouldn't recommend just unzipping the iso to the disk, that probably won't work, but you may as well try | 02:13 |
| mickster04 | asdf-: what is on your netbook atm? | 02:13 |
| mickster04 | asdf-: OS wise? | 02:13 |
| puff | WinstonSmith: a) first I've heard of it, b) looks neat, c) according to it, amarok should be on the sound & video menu, but it isn't. Maybe I'll have to restart or something (ugh, how windows-y :-) | 02:15 |
| puff | WinstonSmith: and d) thanks. | 02:15 |
| dougsko | quietone: well, do a startx or something and see if it worked. you might also wanna check if /dev/fb* exists | 02:15 |
| WinstonSmith | my GnomeDo just start sometimes although its in system>preferences>startup applications. other apps work. any solutions? | 02:16 |
| WinstonSmith | puff : :) | 02:16 |
| quietone | dougsko, startx fails, same error msgs, and there is no /dev/fb. | 02:17 |
| WinstonSmith | puff : killall nautilus? | 02:17 |
| dougsko | quietone: well, thats the problem i think, but im not really sure the best way to fix it though | 02:17 |
| asa | http://pastebin.com/yRJRq5TT I'm making a bash script to take the names of files and insert them as image sources in a HTML file but I've done something wrong. Can someone take a look for me/ | 02:18 |
| dougsko | quietone: you could manually create the device, but that doesnt address the core reason that it doesnt exist in the first place | 02:18 |
| n0a1ias | nickserv identify Ye8@ | 02:18 |
| puff | WinstonSmith: Uh... what would be the point of that? I.e. wouldn't it just trash much of my UI? | 02:18 |
| Dr_Willis | WinstonSmith: could be its starting and crashing for some reason. I tell it to always show a systemtray icon, i dont see it crash/fail to startup here. | 02:18 |
| n0a1ias | Bah! i forgot the / ! | 02:18 |
| n0a1ias | lol | 02:18 |
| quietone | dougsko, thanks for trying. I been trying to use kubuntu since May ..... | 02:19 |
| asa | I advise you change your nickserv password n0a1ias ._. | 02:19 |
| WinstonSmith | asa : look for dir2html. neat little program to make a html for file access . can be restricted to images | 02:19 |
| excess^ | Can anyone help me with a RDP and VNC problem? When I connect using VNC the screen does not refresh past my the inital screen. | 02:19 |
| n0a1ias | yea im on it | 02:19 |
| excess^ | So it basically doesn't update the screen | 02:19 |
| n0a1ias | thanks asa | 02:19 |
| excess^ | And it doesn't register clicks. | 02:19 |
| asa | WinstonSmith: This is more a learning exercise, I need to learn to progress | 02:19 |
| dougsko | quietone: give this method of reconfiguring X a try, it might work out: sudo Xorg -configure | 02:19 |
| prince_jammys | asa: for filename in "$directory"/*; do | 02:19 |
| WinstonSmith | puff : not if you restart nautilus after and the point would be to reload the menu | 02:20 |
| vava | how could i start a deamon process as a owner before the system loging in page,anybody can help me | 02:20 |

| === patrick is now known as Guest67612 | ||
| dougsko | quietone: when youre done, give it a reboot and cross your fingers | 02:21 |
| ActionParsnip | vava: make a script to execute the app as the user then add that to the boot process | 02:21 |
| n0a1ias | also, does anyone use Guarddog? | 02:21 |
| Guest67612 | seeking help. how can i install 32 bit apps using getlibs???? | 02:21 |
| asa | WinstonSmith: Yes, I'm attempting that but I've become stuck and I'm requesting assistance | 02:21 |
| mda_ | I am running package "linux-rt" with ubuntu 10.04 LTS desktop x64. I've tried to make the RT kernel the default in grub by many means...commands...editing the grub files....how do I do it? The only thing that works now is holding down the left-shift key at startup and manually selecting each time. | 02:22 |
| DJAshnar | ok... Ubuntu 10.10 A3 installing. Resizing partition. Stuck on 0% for 10 minutes... | 02:22 |
| ActionParsnip | !maverick | DJAshnar | 02:22 |

| === mike is now known as Guest67690 | ||
| WinstonSmith | asa : did you install all the kde libs for amarok? | 02:23 |
| Guest67612 | can someone help me with getlibs? | 02:23 |
| WinstonSmith | eg does it run? | 02:23 |
| ActionParsnip | WinstonSmith: apt will install all needed deps | 02:23 |
| WinstonSmith | ActionParsnip : yes but he could have compiled from source | 02:24 |
| Guest67612 | can someone help me with getlibs? | 02:24 |
| asa | WinstonSmith: I don't think I'm using Amarok | 02:24 |
| PeterFA | I have an ich10 device that does not work. The model is IDT 92HD73E1X5. | 02:24 |
| PeterFA | What should I do? | 02:24 |
| vava | ActionParsnip, thanks,should i use `su myusername` to change the role in the script | 02:24 |
| mickster04 | good night all :D | 02:24 |
| WinstonSmith | mickster04 : cya:) | 02:25 |
| WinstonSmith | asa : sry got mixed up :| | 02:25 |
| a5h15h | int sudo umount /dev/sdxx what should be sdxx? | 02:26 |
| a5h15h | in... sudo umount /dev/sdxx what should be sdxx? | 02:26 |
| quietone | dougsko, the configure made /home/me/xorg.conf.new and then tells me to "X -config newfile". but that fails with 'invalid argument' do I need to sudo it? | 02:26 |
| n0a1ias | how do i change a nickserv pass? | 02:26 |
| WinstonSmith | mda_ : did you try to uninstall all other kernel versions? | 02:26 |
| bazhang | n0a1ias, ask in #freenode | 02:26 |
| ^4a656e | a5h15h: df -k and figure out which one of those you want to unmount | 02:26 |
| prince_jammys | a5h15h: type 'mount' and you'll see the devices mounted. pick the one you want to unmount. | 02:26 |
| ^4a656e | make sure you make the right choice... | 02:26 |
| dougsko | quietone: run 'X -config /home/me/xorg.conf.new' | 02:26 |
| firecow | ? | 02:27 |
| * mda_ back from afk | 02:27 | |
| thune3 | Guest88149: what do you want getlibs for? | 02:27 |
| dougsko | quietone: its telling you how to specify an arbitrary config file | 02:27 |
| vava | ubottu, thanks | 02:27 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 02:27 |
| mda_ | WinstonSmith: I don't want to uninstall them, just make rt the default at boot | 02:27 |
| quietone | dougsko, yes, that fails, "Fatal server error: Invalid argument for -config ...." | 02:27 |
| Centurion210 | evening all | 02:28 |
| thune3 | Guest67612: what do you want getlibs for? it might be easier to help with the root problem | 02:28 |
| dougsko | quietone: ok, just copy your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to something like, /home/me/xorg.conf.old, then copy /home/me/xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and reboot | 02:29 |
| * mda_ afk for a while...will check log | 02:29 | |
| puff | WinstonSmith: Okay, so how do I restart nautilus? Just /usr/bin/nautilus? | 02:29 |
| ActionParsnip | quietone: dougsko: you can just restart the x server, no need to reboot | 02:29 |
| WinstonSmith | puff : yes or ALT+F2 : nautilus | 02:30 |
| dougsko | ActionParsnip: i know, but the problem here is a missing framebuffer device. i dont know if restarting X will create it | 02:30 |
| dougsko | ActionParsnip: the problem might lie before X even enters the equation | 02:30 |
| dougsko | just a precaution anyway for the sake of completeness | 02:30 |
| quietone | dougsko, if it means anything, i don't have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf only /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe | 02:30 |
| Centurion210 | ppl, just installed lucid on a 12TB array machine :P and i'm stuck with partitioning. i created tiny ( 20GiB for / and 25GiB for swap ) now i want to put the rest on /home, but cant create a 2+TB partition with *fdisk (cfdisk, etc too), i know this is because of the disk table, how can this be done without destroying everything in my disk ? or is it impossible ? | 02:31 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | I'm having difficulty installing ubuntu | 02:31 |
| WinstonSmith | mda : the default kernel is defined in /boot/grub/grub.conf | 02:31 |
| dougsko | quietone: oh. well then, dont worry about backing up your original, just copy over the new one to /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 02:31 |

| excess^ | Can anyone tell me why went I connect through VNC, can I not interact with my Desktop?? | 02:32 |
| dougsko | quietone: then try restarting X i guess before rebooting- leave that for if this fails | 02:32 |
| quietone | dougsko, all done. same errors. | 02:32 |
| a5h15h | ^4a656e, thanks a lot | 02:32 |
| quietone | dougsko, that is, made the changes and then 'startx' | 02:32 |
| a5h15h | prince_jammys, thank you | 02:32 |
| a5h15h | have a nice day all | 02:32 |
| ^4a656e | no problema, you, too! | 02:33 |
| puff | WinstonSmith: Doh... okay, killall/restart nautilus didn't do th trick, but it occurred to me that I could uncheck/recheck amarok in System/Preferences/Main Menu,that worked. | 02:33 |
| prince_jammys | a5h15h: welcome | 02:33 |
| WinstonSmith | puff : thats what i meant in the beginning sorry for not being clear :( | 02:33 |
| dougsko | quietone: unfortunately, i dont really know what else to tell ya at this point | 02:33 |
| WinstonSmith | my GnomeDo just start sometimes although its in system>preferences>startup applications. other apps work. any solutions? | 02:34 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | Every time I boot ubuntu it plays the startup sound, sometimes repeating a portion and then crashes | 02:34 |
| n0a1ias | ok so my account is safe again | 02:34 |
| excess^ | Can anyone tell me why went I connect through VNC, can I not interact with my Desktop?? | 02:35 |
| quietone | dougsko, thx for trying! | 02:35 |
| n0a1ias | how do i use Guarddog? | 02:36 |
| asa | http://pastebin.com/b0bVZBVh Got a new problem. This time in the area I'm trying to display the filename it just returns everything on / | 02:36 |
| excess^ | Can anyone tell me why went I connect through VNC, can I not interact with my Desktop?? | 02:36 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | Anyone know how to fix my problem? | 02:37 |
| thune3 | Centurion210: there appears to be a tool called gdisk that can convert your partition table, but i've never used it and can't speak to its safety. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man8/gdisk.8.html | 02:37 |
| Centurion210 | thune3 thanks anyway, just decided to do everything again | 02:37 |
| Centurion210 | using bootstrap is not that funny but i'll do it :P | 02:37 |
| razz1 | WinstonSmith: just a quick qts, do you know how to setup empathy in a LAN/VPN environment. I heard it can be done but cannot find documentation anywhere. I do not want to go with mumble because its between just two systems. | 02:38 |
| thune3 | Centurion210: starting over with GPT is the best plan | 02:38 |
| n0a1ias | i use gdisk, its good | 02:38 |
| n0a1ias | ill take the blame if it screws u over | 02:38 |
| Centurion210 | thune3 yeah, will do it, simply didnt remember MBR wouldnt support gigantic partitions | 02:38 |
| WinstonSmith | razz1 : sry cant help u there :( | 02:39 |
| WinstonSmith | not my field | 02:39 |

| a5h15h | quit Take Care | 02:41 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | Just call me nerdy | 02:41 |
| ActionParsnip | n0a1ias: use tab to complete nicks, makes typig easier | 02:41 |
| razz1 | WinstonSmith: no probs, worth an ask. I have been using skype but it needs their servers. I was thinking there has to be a tool to connect two systems without any servers in the middle. | 02:41 |
| WinstonSmith | excess : maybe u configured the vnc server for viewing only? | 02:41 |
| n0a1ias | ActionParsnip, right | 02:41 |
| excess^ | WinstonSmith, Its configured for interaction. | 02:41 |
| WinstonSmith | razz1 : just for chat? | 02:41 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | I've been trying to install ubuntu but when I try and boot into it, the startup music plays and repeats. Then it freezes and just sits there | 02:42 |
| n0a1ias | Nerdy3_14159265, what do you need? | 02:42 |
| razz1 | WinstonSmith: voice chat | 02:42 |
| excess^ | Oh wow!!!!! | 02:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Nerdy3_14159265: did you MD5 test the iso you downloaded? did you burn as slowly as you were allowed? Did you chec the CD for defects/ | 02:42 |
| excess^ | It was visual effects/ | 02:42 |
| excess^ | I had to turn it down to none. | 02:42 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | I don't know how to MD5 test it but it was from the ubuntu site | 02:43 |
| WinstonSmith | razz1 : sry ive never done something like that.... maybe worth losing an afternoon (and night) tinkering heheheh | 02:43 |
| n0a1ias | Nerdy3_14159265, are you using the 32 or the 64 bit version? | 02:43 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | I burned it at max speed but it was verified for errors | 02:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Nerdy3_14159265: doesn't matter where its from, if the data gets damaged in transit then you'll get issues | 02:43 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | It's 64 bit because that's what I have for a computer | 02:43 |
| WinstonSmith | excess^, good for you | 02:43 |
| n0a1ias | Nerdy3_14159265, and are you on the live cd right now? | 02:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Nerdy3_14159265: basically you have pulled down a file and not checked it, it could have errors in the data which you havent checkd for, md5 is a way to test the image BEFORE burning so you know the data is good | 02:44 |
| puff | WinstonSmith: no problem, thanks for the help. | 02:44 |
| ActionParsnip | !md5 | Nerdy3_14159265 | 02:44 |
| ubottu | Nerdy3_14159265: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 02:44 |
| razz1 | WinstonSmith: mumble can do it, heard lot of gamers use it, it has a server and allows lot of clients to connect. for me its overkill. i will keep trying. thanks | 02:44 |
| poutch | hi everybody | 02:44 |
| poutch | i've got a problem | 02:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Nerdy3_14159265: you can also boot to the CD, when the stickman appears, press spacebar, you can then check the cd for defects. This is also needed to be completed so you know the cd you burned with the good image isnt botched | 02:45 |
| WinstonSmith | razz1, u could install teamspeak or ventrillo i installled teamspeak wasnt hard | 02:45 |
| poutch | i'd like to install some exe through wine | 02:45 |
| n0a1ias | Nerdy3_14159265, if you ok with using another cd and on the live cd right now we can walk you threw the burn and md5 test. | 02:45 |
| ChogyDan | erm, help! I can't get my the other person to hear me on google voice. Any ideas to identify the problem? | 02:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Nerdy3_14159265: dont worry most users have the same "it'll be ok jack" attitude but the fact is that PCs arent perfect and errors can and do occur | 02:45 |
| poutch | but i can't get through it | 02:45 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | I'm not on the live cd because it won't even boot off the cd, it plays the sound lets me move the mouse for awhile on a black screen then freezes | 02:45 |
| ActionParsnip | poutch: what app? | 02:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Nerdy3_14159265: then you still need to test the iso | 02:46 |
| n0a1ias | Nerdy3_14159265, all signs point to a bad disk | 02:46 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | Okay now how do I do it | 02:46 |
| ActionParsnip | !md5 | Nerdy3_14159265 | 02:46 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | Also I've burned 2 disks, one brand new and one that was used before | 02:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Nerdy3_14159265: ubottu gave you the ink earlier | 02:47 |
| FrozenFire[work] | How do I go about getting or building a deb file of a package that I can copy to a non-networked computer, to install it? | 02:47 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | I thought someone said they were going to walk me through | 02:47 |
| poutch | so | 02:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Nerdy3_14159265: doesnt matter, if your image is bad, ANY CD you burn willbe bad | 02:47 |
| poutch | oh don't worry in fact | 02:47 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | I'll check the iso | 02:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Nerdy3_14159265: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM | 02:47 |
| razz1 | WinstonSmith: heard about them, they are similar to mumble from what I understand. I read somewhere that ekiga can connect two computers using IP. If I cannot figure out soon, I guess I will have to use teamspeak or mumble | 02:47 |
| n0a1ias | Nerdy3_14159265, i though you were on the live cd, i dont kow how to do it anyother way | 02:47 |
| n0a1ias | !md5 | n0a1ias | 02:48 |
| ubottu | n0a1ias, please see my private message | 02:48 |

| FrozenFire[work] | ActionParsnip, Missing a step there :P. How do I build the deb? | 02:49 |
| WinstonSmith | razz1, TS was quite easy to install its a bit overkill though just for 2 machines but you should have it running in 30 min | 02:49 |
| n0a1ias | Nerdy3_14159265, the best way is to be pationt and have them mail you one, but I was to impatient myself... | 02:49 |

| iflema | n0a1ias unless you have services actived to listern your pretty much good to go.... really... or just turn on gufw and block incomming only if it makes you feel better :). or does outgoing concern you =) | 03:00 |
| WinstonSmith | bootfail, u could try to open it up and look if there are hairs etc obstructing the airflow. but only if u are good at mechanicla things.. dismanteling laptops is a PITA | 03:00 |

| seth_ | I need help with graphics (resolution especially) in Ubuntu 10.04. I just clean-installed onto my desktop PC and the resolution is too low. Plus, the screen wraps around the side edges a few pixels, and the mouse clicks a few pixels off from where it points. I also can't change the Visual Effects to Normal | 03:01 |
| zzzed_ | Nerdy3_14159265, ok, boot the cd and run checkdisk | 03:01 |
| seth_ | When I tried installing the proprietory driver, it blanked my screen | 03:01 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | okay, I'll be back in a few minutes then | 03:01 |
| WinstonSmith | seth_, what driver? ati nvidia? | 03:02 |
| n0a1ias | iflema, how do I turn on gufw? | 03:02 |
| seth_ | nvidia | 03:02 |
| bigfishy | i have a question regarding configuration of input devices, specifically mouse input devices. My mouse will stop processing inputs regardless if i reconnect it or not. The only way to solve the issue seems to reboot. | 03:02 |
| iflema | n0a1ias install the gufw package ufw is installed by default gut gufw is an easier way to configure ufw | 03:02 |
| WinstonSmith | seth_, sry ATI user here no expertise with nvidia | 03:02 |
| n0a1ias | iflema, thanks | 03:03 |

| okapi14 | hi all | 03:03 |
| WinstonSmith | hi | 03:03 |
| ChogyDan1 | seth_: I don't think you can use packages from the nvidia website | 03:04 |
| velociostrich | I have a PDF document that is comprised of black and white scanned images that are rather noisy, so I'd like to clean them up. Thing is, the document is (as mentioned) in PDF form, which can't (to my knowledge) be opened by the GIMP, so I need to convert it to ordinary image files. I tried using ImageMagick's `convert' utility, but the end result looks /terrible/, not near as nice as the original PDF, making it even harder to read. I | 03:04 |
| velociostrich | tried passing a higher DPI to `convert', but all that did was make it blurry, as if I just scaled up the results from my first attempt. Is there a better way of converting PDFs to images? | 03:04 |
| okapi14 | anyone know how to telnet to a specific virtual desktop? | 03:04 |
| seth_ | ChogyDan1 what do I do, then? | 03:04 |
| === IPNixon_ is now known as IPNixon | ||
| seth_ | How do I get back normal resolution? | 03:04 |
| ChogyDan1 | seth_: I dunno, why aren't you using the standard packages? | 03:05 |
| ActionParsnip | velociostrich: could use printscreen and crop the images to just the individual pictures you require | 03:05 |
| Guest96369 | is there a group here that is porting linux/unix to the ipad.. commands and etc | 03:05 |

| velociostrich | ActionParsnip: True, but I need all of the document. It is only ten pages, so I guess I could do it that way (ugh)... thanks anyways | 03:05 |
| ChogyDan1 | seth_: did you use the driver manager? | 03:05 |
| WinstonSmith | velociostrich, GIMP can open pdfs | 03:05 |
| lee_ | velociostrich, have u tried a screen shot / gimp / noise reduction.. | 03:06 |
| ActionParsnip | velociostrich: the guys in #gimp may know something | 03:06 |
| zzzed_ | seth_, did you try System->Administration->Hardware Drivers? | 03:06 |
| ActionParsnip | velociostrich: could try pdf2html too | 03:06 |
| velociostrich | WinstonSmith: it can?!?? I must try! thanks | 03:06 |
| WinstonSmith | np | 03:06 |
| velociostrich | ActionParsnip: I don't know if that would do the images, though it's worth a try | 03:06 |
| lee_ | gimp should open,, buh depends on format | 03:06 |
| ChogyDan1 | seth_: make sure to uninstall the previous things installed before you try that | 03:06 |
| seth_ | ChogyDan1:, how do I do that? | 03:07 |
| bigfishy | would anyone know how to fix an issue with my mouse input device? it stops processing inputs i am not sure how to configure it. i just bought a new mouse and have a driver cd if there was some way to run those drivers like ndiswrapper | 03:07 |
| seth_ | Plus, if I uninstall a graphics driver, I won't have a screen to work with | 03:07 |
| velociostrich | WinstonSmith, ActionParsnip, lee_: The gimp imported the PDF just fine! thanks again | 03:07 |
| ChogyDan1 | seth_: what did you install? | 03:07 |
| ActionParsnip | bigfishy: try i8024.reset or i8024.nomux=1 or irqpoll or a combination as boot options | 03:08 |

My samba server is Ubuntu Lucid with an external dyndns address. So what exactly would I put in for "//fileserver/Leanne", assuming my address was google.com? Thanks! :) | 03:14 |

| Divecks | ActionParsnip, Oh, that's the problem then. Interesting. I'll change that up and see if I get it to work! | 03:15 |

| ridin | WinstonSmith, how about just show me where the older kernel is, so i have 20 billion problems i have | 03:53 |
| WinstonSmith | ridin, but i dont know about the livecd ... never tried to install anything on it | 03:53 |
| dougb_freebsd | thune3: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/hE6ZjH8V | 03:54 |
| WinstonSmith | ridin, i have no idea if u can install such an old kernel on lucid | 03:54 |
| iflema | bootfail try alt+F1 then do ctrl+alt+del | 03:54 |
| iflema | bootfail ctrl+F1 i mean then ctrl+alt+del | 03:55 |
| iflema | bootfail one more tim =) ctrl+alt+F1 | 03:55 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| WinstonSmith | iflema, lol ... the keys wont stand still ;) | 03:55 |
| dougb_freebsd | thune3: also, freebsd and linux seem to disagree on the track/cylinder boundaries ... these partitions were made in the freebsd installer, which says that they are aligned, but if I do the partitions in linux (ubuntu 10.04) then freebsd says that they are not aligned | 03:56 |
| egsome | How should i get "perlcc" package in ubuntu ?, I can't find it in the repositories. | 03:56 |
| dougb_freebsd | thune3: the partition 2 that both freebsd and linux say IS aligned was created in win95 | 03:56 |
| bootfail | iflema: i hard booted it then tried the sysreq thing after a reboot and it did a screenshot | 03:56 |
| ridin | WinstonSmith, bootable, but not sure about installing it | 03:57 |
| dougb_freebsd | I've been having a heck of a time trying to shoehorn everything in | 03:57 |
| WinstonSmith | egsome, install libperl-dev | 03:57 |
| bluezone | egsome maybe google that and they have it on their website | 03:57 |
| bluezone | nvm :P | 03:57 |
| bootfail | cntrl+alt+del and cntrl+alt+f1 failed too - tried those. cntrl+alt+backspace and cntrl+alt+esc failed too | 03:57 |
| egsome | bluezone, I can't find it on google | 03:58 |
| egsome | WinstonSmith, Going to try that | 03:58 |
| iflema | bootfail no, ctrl+alt+F1 followed by ctrl+alt+del | 03:58 |
| bluezone | egsome, install libperl-dev | 03:58 |
| bootfail | iflema: will try that next time | 03:58 |
| bluezone | thats whatwinston said | 03:58 |
| egsome | bluezone, Installed it now, and can't find that command also. | 03:59 |
| bluezone | humm im not sure but i think theres extended unofficial ubuntu reps somewhere | 03:59 |
| egsome | WinstonSmith, , Installed it now, and can't find that command also. | 03:59 |
| bluezone | 1 min | 03:59 |
| knightrage | i have an ATI video card. how do i know if im using the proprietary or open-source drivers? | 03:59 |
| egsome | bluezone, OK | 04:00 |
| Shpook | Hello everyone. Just installed the latest ubuntu using wubi. Almost everything worked great right off the bat, except the graphics are odd. At first I was getting graphical anomalies when I would scroll in Firefox. Now the fonts are messed up throughout the system, with black boxes replacing random letters. | 04:00 |
| WinstonSmith | egsome, try installing perl_5.8.8-7ubuntu3_i386 | 04:00 |
| ridin | WinstonSmith, http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/i386/linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic/download ? | 04:00 |
| egsome | WinstonSmith, Can you run that command ? "perlcc" ? | 04:01 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | Back again | 04:01 |
| bluezone | shpook: maybe ubuntu doesn't ship your video card driver... or a graphics card defect, what your graphics card? | 04:01 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | I messed with boot options a bit | 04:01 |
| ridin | can you use karmic kernel packages in lucid? | 04:01 |
| victorhugo | Hi! I want to resize my linux partition. But I don't know if I do that I will lose my grub. Someone here can tell me if it will hapen? | 04:01 |
| famicube64 | you shouldn't | 04:01 |
| ridin | victorhugo, i haven't | 04:01 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | I disabled ACPI and it booted but I couldn't get my wireless to work | 04:02 |
| acovrig | how do I do reverse ssh, ssh into the client from the server w/out sshing into the client ip, but from an open connection | 04:02 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | also my computer has booted into ubuntu awhile ago, without messing with boot options and my wireless worked | 04:02 |
| victorhugo | ridin, what? | 04:02 |
| egsome | WinstonSmith, I asked now on #perl, they said that it has been deprecated, and PAR is the alternative | 04:02 |
| egsome | WinstonSmith, Thanks for help anyway. | 04:02 |
| Shpook | bluezone, not sure, it's an ATI radeon mobile | 04:02 |
| WinstonSmith | egsome, im no perl freak sry | 04:03 |
| ridin | victorhugo, i've resized my partition, and i didn't lose grub | 04:03 |
| egsome | WinstonSmith, No problem | 04:03 |
| bluezone | anyone know the command that shows you your harware model numbers etc? | 04:03 |
| bluezone | shpook: one sec lol | 04:03 |
| Shpook | I was so hopeful that ubuntu actually installed without having to fight with drivers for days :-/ | 04:03 |
| Shpook | bluezone, lol ok | 04:03 |
| ridin | can you use karmic kernel packages in lucid? | 04:04 |
| knightrage | nm | 04:04 |
| victorhugo | thanks ridin! | 04:04 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | Anyone have any ideas about that? | 04:04 |
| WinstonSmith | bluezone, hwinfo | 04:04 |
| bluezone | yeah | 04:04 |
| intranut | bluezone, hwinfo | 04:04 |
| bluezone | shpook: hwinfo xD | 04:05 |
| ActionParsnip | ridin: no as the kernel for karmic is a karmic kernel, you could maybe install the backports | 04:05 |
| ridin | ActionParsnip, the karmic backports? | 04:05 |
| bluezone | shpook: u can find your video card with that and google for a driver, i hope its not a defect though | 04:05 |
| WinstonSmith | ridin, thats what i told u:| | 04:05 |
| WinstonSmith | well ppl gotta go. cya all | 04:05 |
| ActionParsnip | ridin: it will be the lucid backports but I believe they will install something karmic shaped (not sure though) | 04:06 |
| bluezone | bye win thanks | 04:06 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | Action, I did what you said and messed with boot options | 04:06 |
| Shpook | bluezone, I'll give it a shot. Graphics are perfect on Win6, it's only here on Ubuntu I have issues | 04:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Nerdy3_14159265: cool | 04:06 |
| Shpook | as usual :( | 04:06 |
| TiK | heh win6 | 04:06 |
| ridin | ActionParsnip, ugh, i guess no ubuntu for me. anyway i can get linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic instead? | 04:06 |
| TiK | win7? :P | 04:06 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | I disabled ACPI and it loaded but my wireless wouldn't work | 04:06 |
| ActionParsnip | ridin: just use karmic, it's supported waaaay into next year | 04:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Nerdy3_14159265: then use a wired connection and get upgraded, it may help | 04:07 |
| ridin | darn, then i wasted a cd :( | 04:07 |
| ShinyDarkness | Hello. Is there one way to tell Ubuntu not to open several instances of the same application, and bring the one that is already running instead? | 04:07 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | upgraded? | 04:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Nerdy3_14159265: sure, the debs on the CD are not fully up to date. Upgrades may help the OS | 04:07 |
| hendi | hai | 04:08 |
| ridin | well, i have no more cds, i have no more money, guess no ubuntu for me. thanks ActionParsnip | 04:08 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | The only thing about that | 04:08 |
| bluezone | ShinyDarkness: thats usually automatic | 04:08 |
| ActionParsnip | ridin: use usb | 04:08 |
| ridin | i don't have any ActionParsnip | 04:08 |
| ActionParsnip | ridin: or SD card etc (assuming your hardware can boot it) | 04:08 |
| bluezone | ShinyDarkness: for what application are we talking about | 04:08 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | is that on that one time that it booted without me changing anything, the wireless worked right away | 04:08 |
| ShinyDarkness | My IRC client (XChat): I successfully opened a second copy of it in another virtual desktop. | 04:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Nerdy3_14159265: i'd test the ram then, the feature is on the livecd, wait for the stickman, spacebar, select test ram | 04:09 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | Why would the ram be the problem? | 04:09 |
| ShinyDarkness | And for a good while I thought someone had hacked my account. | 04:09 |
| bluezone | ShinyDarkness: you have 2 virtual computer with ubuntu on both? | 04:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Nerdy3_14159265: think about it | 04:09 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | I have no idea | 04:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Nerdy3_14159265: the livecd runs in a ram drive so as not to disturb the internal drive, if the ram is bad you ill get issues | 04:10 |
| ShinyDarkness | No, no... I only have one virtual machine, but it has several virtual desktops. | 04:10 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | ah | 04:10 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | The ram shouldn't be bad this is a fairly new computer | 04:10 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | also it hasn't had any ram issues before | 04:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Nerdy3_14159265: means nothing. hardware can be DOA | 04:10 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | I'll run a ram test, but how would that explain the one time it booted from the disk | 04:11 |
| n0a1ias | can somebody hack me? im testing security | 04:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Nerdy3_14159265: wellif you didnt change something and it booted, then the other boots under the same situation were bad, something is amiss | 04:12 |
| ActionParsnip | n0a1ias: if your system is connected in some way to the WWW then its possible | 04:12 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | and would the ram explain that | 04:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Nerdy3_14159265: maybe, thats why the test exists | 04:13 |
| n0a1ias | ActionParsnip, yes, but i want it to be hard enough to deter most people. | 04:13 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | whatever, I'll go test that | 04:13 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | but I can't for a little while first | 04:13 |
| bluezone | ShinyDarkness:not sure if you can change that i beleive its done automatically for people who want to run clones | 04:13 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | I'll report back after I've done it | 04:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Nerdy3_14159265: could be a dirty CD lens as well, or maybe the BIOS needs tweaking to be nicer | 04:14 |
| ShinyDarkness | bluezone: Okay. Thanks, anyway. | 04:14 |
| bluezone | ShinyDarkness: maybe another client wouldnt do it, not sure, but i couldnt find that in the options | 04:14 |
| bluezone | k | 04:14 |
| n0a1ias | ActionParsnip, what would be the right channel to ask that in? | 04:15 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | I'll run a cd cleaner then before the ram test but still later | 04:15 |
| syn-ack | n0a1ias: Nothing on this network | 04:15 |
| n0a1ias | syn-ack, do you know the right network? | 04:16 |
| TiK | I dunno man linux distros don't like my cd burer i get sr0 errors so I istall from a usb drive | 04:16 |
| TiK | its burns and reads fine though | 04:17 |
| fishfly | i try to compile WiMAX driver 1.3.2 on Unbuntu 10.04 , gcc version is 4.4.3 but failed it says cannot find ./tmp.config.mk does anybody know where the problem is ? thanks | 04:19 |

| thetem | anyone? | 04:26 |
| jrib | thetem: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) | 04:26 |
| sebsebseb | jb12: old Grub is really easy to make better, Grub 2 no not quite | 04:26 |

| thetem | i want to install Ubuntu first | 04:26 |
| n0a1ias | thetem, om not an expert, but ill help if i can | 04:26 |
| sebsebseb | thetem: uhmm | 04:26 |
| jrib | thetem: (on a single line) | 04:26 |
| sebsebseb | thetem: better to install Windows first | 04:26 |
| thetem | then XP on top of it so the windows bootloader is the default | 04:26 |
| sebsebseb | thetem: otherwise it will go over the Grub bootloader, when you put Windows on, and re installing the bootloader isn't that easy | 04:27 |
| thetem | i installed Ubunt | 04:27 |
| thetem | reinstalling the bootloader is very simple | 04:27 |
| thetem | i have done it thousands of times | 04:27 |
| sebsebseb | thetem: anyway jrib is a sort of expert, and there will be some others around | 04:27 |
| thetem | but the issure is that i want to use Microsoft's MBR for the default system bootloader | 04:27 |
| thetem | can i not do this? | 04:27 |
| n0a1ias | thetem, ok now make the partion for windows | 04:28 |
| Tempus_Fugit | thetem: you cant install windows on top of linux have to install linux on top of windows to get the linux bootloader | 04:28 |
| sebsebseb | thetem: if you hack it you can use the Windows bootloader | 04:28 |
| sebsebseb | thetem: or if you use Wubi, which I woudn't normally recommend | 04:28 |
| === localhost2 is now known as localhost | ||
| sebsebseb | !wubi | thetem | 04:28 |

| thetem | no no no | 04:28 |
| dougb_freebsd | thune3: no luck ... I tried hd0,4 and hd0,4,a, both of which were listed by ls, and it still booted into the first freebsd partition instead of the second | 04:28 |
| ActionParsnip | thetem: the windows boot loader is quite limited, grun is much more encompassing and can boot both OSes easil | 04:28 |
| thetem | i want to use the microsoft bootloader | 04:28 |
| === kt0sh_ is now known as Pepito | ||
| ActionParsnip | *grub | 04:28 |
| thetem | yeah | 04:28 |
| thetem | but it confuses most of the people i work with | 04:28 |
| thetem | infact | 04:29 |
| thetem | it confuses all of them | 04:29 |
| jrib | thetem: why do you want to use the microsoft bootloader instead of grub? With grub it will likely "just work" | 04:29 |
| Tempus_Fugit | not sure why anyone would want to use a microsoft bootloader but to each their own I guess | 04:29 |
| ActionParsnip | thetem: once its installed and configured, you never have to touch it | 04:29 |
| sebsebseb | thetem: indeed @ jrib | 04:29 |
| thetem | there is not a command i can just rwrite in by hand in the bootloader> | 04:29 |
| thetem | ? | 04:29 |
| thetem | or do you simply just not know | 04:29 |
| thetem | what i am asking | 04:29 |
| dougb_freebsd | ActionParsnip: that sounds great in theory, but I'm having problems configuring it :) | 04:29 |
| sebsebseb | thetem: the chance of Grub 2 messing up afer you have installed Ubuntu, is not that likely at all | 04:29 |
| thetem | oh my gosh | 04:29 |
| ActionParsnip | thetem: install windows and leave inpartitioned space. Install Ubuntu to the free space. You will NEVER have to touch grub | 04:29 |
| sebsebseb | thetem: unless you do something silly like putting Windows on after Ubuntu of course | 04:29 |
| thetem | so you have no clue what i am taking about | 04:30 |
| thetem | anyone else in here know what i am asking? | 04:30 |
| thetem | yes | 04:30 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | I cleaned the disk drive | 04:30 |
| thetem | that is just it | 04:30 |
| sebsebseb | thetem: you want to use the Windows bootloader to boot Ubuntu, well that is not so easy to do, and not standard | 04:30 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | I'll do the ram test in a minute | 04:30 |
| thetem | i want to install ubuntu fisrst, then windows | 04:30 |
| ActionParsnip | thetem: i'd ask in ##windows how to configure there bootloader to do it, you'll most likely find they tell you to use grub or lilo | 04:30 |
| thetem | oh man | 04:30 |
| Tempus_Fugit | thetem ....yes we understand what you want just cant figure out why??? | 04:31 |
| thetem | i really dont wana do that | 04:31 |
| spinull | ... | 04:31 |
| jrib | thetem: seriously, just use grub | 04:31 |
| ActionParsnip | thetem: http://bkpavan.wordpress.com/2008/04/02/how-to-boot-linux-using-windows-bootloader-xp/ | 04:31 |
| thetem | so the only solution is grub?! | 04:31 |
| thetem | really?!?! | 04:31 |
| psilo2 | You want the Windows bootloader to boot Linux? | 04:31 |
| ActionParsnip | god knows why, its soooo much harder | 04:31 |
| thetem | yes | 04:31 |
| jrib | thetem: it's the sensible solution | 04:31 |
| thetem | that is exactly what i am asking | 04:31 |
| psilo2 | And you think that's remotely possible? | 04:31 |
| ActionParsnip | thetem: you can use lilo if you like too, both are great bootloaders | 04:31 |
| spinull | anyone know anything about 3d accel with rs690m x1200 video | 04:31 |
| thetem | yes i do | 04:31 |
| Tempus_Fugit | grub........WORKS!!!!!! | 04:31 |
| thetem | i can get it to boot Solaris | 04:31 |
| thetem | but then again | 04:32 |
| jrib | thetem: stop pressing enter. | 04:32 |
| thetem | solaris is run by actual engineers | 04:32 |
| sebsebseb | thetem: oh you want to boot Solaris? | 04:32 |
| thetem | no | 04:32 |
| psilo2 | I don't believe that to be honest. Good luck. | 04:32 |
| thetem | i want to use Ubuntu | 04:32 |
| thune3 | dougb_freebsd: i'm wondering if the boot flag thing is an issue | 04:32 |
| thetem | nope | 04:32 |
| ActionParsnip | it can be done, its just not very graceful | 04:32 |
| Tempus_Fugit | thetem type ..../join #Solaris | 04:32 |
| dougb_freebsd | so I actually want to use grub2, but it can't seem to boot my second freebsd partition (the menu entry for it always boots the first one instead) | 04:33 |
| n0a1ias | thetem, is there a reason you need to use ms boot loader? | 04:33 |
| thetem | when i change the flag back to the ex4, n | 04:33 |
| thetem | no | 04:33 |
| dougb_freebsd | thune3: ok, thanks | 04:33 |
| thetem | *sigh* | 04:33 |
| ActionParsnip | considering the flexibility of grub and the stagnant nature of the bootloader in windows. I'm suprised you want to use it but hey it's your blood pressure | 04:33 |
| sebsebseb | dougb_freebsd: not sure, but I think there may be some issue with the Ubuntu version of Grub 2 and booting up other OS's that aren't Windows. | 04:33 |
| dougb_freebsd | thetem: did you read the article that ActionParsnip pasted for you? | 04:33 |
| sebsebseb | !grub2 | dougb_freebsd | 04:33 |
| ubottu | dougb_freebsd: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 04:33 |
| thetem | no i did not | 04:33 |
| rrndman | how can I disable those annoying black bubble notifications? | 04:33 |
| ActionParsnip | thetem: if you ask for help, try reading the links people give: http://bkpavan.wordpress.com/2008/04/02/how-to-boot-linux-using-windows-bootloader-xp/ | 04:34 |
| sebsebseb | rrndman: I guess removing notify-osd is the easiest way to do that | 04:34 |
| dougb_freebsd | sebsebseb: I've read that one, thanks .... it got me as far as creating the menu entries, and the first one works | 04:34 |
| thetem | i missed it | 04:34 |
| thetem | i am pulling an all nighter | 04:34 |
| thetem | so my eyes are fussy and i am in a bitchy mood | 04:34 |
| sebsebseb | rrndman: I assume thats what your refering to, for example the black message when there are updates? | 04:34 |
| ActionParsnip | thetem: no worries, basically it makes a bin file of the grub stuff on the disk and tells the win loader to run it, it will then kick off linux | 04:35 |
| ActionParsnip | not very elegant at all | 04:35 |
| rrndman | sebsebseb: yes... they aren't particularly useful for me | 04:35 |
| sebsebseb | rrndman: indeed they aren't really that great, they are ok though, however upstream Gnome has a nicer notifcation bubble | 04:36 |
| rrndman | really? any screens? | 04:36 |
| thetem | that might do it | 04:36 |
| thetem | i am not looking for eligance | 04:36 |
| dougb_freebsd | so a different grub question, how do I get it to choose the last OS that was selected from the menu by default? GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true doesn't seem to do it | 04:36 |
| sebsebseb | rrndman: not sure about having the Gnome thing instead, in Ubuntu | 04:37 |
| thetem | i am looking for something that wont freak out the morons in IT that cant use anything but windows | 04:37 |
| sebsebseb | thetem: in IT? | 04:37 |
| thetem | the "techies" that keep up the windows systems | 04:38 |
| sebsebseb | rrndman: most other distros using Gnome, will have it instead though, I guess | 04:38 |
| trism | sebsebseb: notification-daemon is in the repo if that is what you mean | 04:38 |
| n0a1ias | thetem, if you dont wana freak them out, linux may not be the best option... | 04:38 |
| thetem | seb: not from the US, eh? | 04:38 |
| sebsebseb | trism: yeah thats probably what I mean | 04:38 |
| thetem | oh no no no | 04:38 |
| thetem | i know it is | 04:38 |
| n0a1ias | thetem, ok as long as you know | 04:39 |
| sebsebseb | !info notification-deamon | 04:39 |

| thetem | ok, people... thank you very much for the read... i am gana read it now... and yes, i love Ubuntu! The best Linux load out there | 04:39 |
| n0a1ias | whats the name of the currant distro? | 04:39 |
| sebsebseb | rrndman: above ^ | 04:39 |
| thetem | 2nd... Puppy! | 04:40 |
| sebsebseb | trism: thanks | 04:40 |
| sebsebseb | trism: I guess | 04:40 |
| sebsebseb | rrndman: anyway you may prefer that its worth a try, and thats the way it is meant to be done really :) | 04:40 |
| rrndman | sebsebseb, okay, I'll do that then :) thx | 04:41 |

| === Chikin_ is now known as STiK | ||
| dougb_freebsd | thune3: so, something like this? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/4Vm2V5VA | 04:49 |
| thune3 | dougb_freebsd: there is also information in that doc about bsd subpartitions, which that "a" thing makes me think you have. I don't know what difference it might make http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Device-syntax | 04:49 |
| dougb_freebsd | yeah, I was actually reading that doc when you pasted the other link, and I saw that reference to using ,a in other docs too, but I don't need it for the first menu entry, and when I tried it for the second entry it didn't help | 04:50 |

| Lock_drive_ | send me the link....so that i can download google earth through terminal | 04:55 |
| sebsebseb | highclasshole: you can't just use Outlook in non Windows OS's however, there is some sort of Outlook web access, and rather good alternatives such as Evolution and Mozilla Thunderbird | 04:55 |

| ActionParsnip | salted: not if you dont ask | 05:09 |
| salted | so I've never used linux before and I thought I would try installing it on an external hard drive tonight. I do the install, reboot and choose to boot from the external hard drive. I get the error "File not found" and then I get some kind of grub recovery prompt. Also its a brand new hard drive. | 05:09 |
| === becquervera is now known as reisilver | ||
| dendrite | sacarlson. I mean when i boot into console mode or press Ctrl+Alt+F1 I would like to see the text in a widescreen mode. not a stretched 1024x768 mode | 05:09 |
| salted | I choose the option to use the entire drive in the install | 05:09 |
| Blue1 | salted: how did you format the drive, or take the default? | 05:10 |
| salted | I just did the option for use the entire drive | 05:10 |
| salted | i don't know what it did to format it, but it took forever | 05:10 |
| sacarlson | dendrite: then sounds like you had it right, not sure what numbers after vga=XXX part. | 05:10 |
| Blue1 | salted: prolly defaulted to ext4 | 05:10 |
| prince_jammys | dendrite: you may set that in /etc/default/grub, and 'sudo update-grub' after you edit the file. | 05:11 |

| salted | Blue1: yeah, its a usb external drive | 05:12 |
| prince_jammys | dendrite: you're using grub2, right? | 05:12 |
| salted | Blue1: its brand new so the drive shouldn't be a problem I hope | 05:12 |
| dendrite | i believe so. im on ubuntu 10.04 | 05:12 |
| Blue1 | salted: what error are you getting on boot? -- I have had new drives that were doa, so newness is im-material | 05:12 |
| salted | Blue1: I think it said, File not found and then a grub recovery prompt shows up | 05:13 |
| upgrdman | how do i remove the panel applet in the upper right corner, the one that has my username listed and when clicked lets me set "away" "busy" etc... | 05:13 |
| prince_jammys | dendrite: i use these two lines: GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x1024 and GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep | 05:13 |
| salted | Blue1: I've done the install twice now | 05:13 |
| salted | Blue1: same error both times | 05:13 |
| thune3 | salted: i assume you installed grub in the wrong place during installation, does you internal drive still boot correctly? | 05:13 |
| Blue1 | thune3: that was my next question - I'll let you take over from here - sounds like exactly the problem | 05:14 |
| sacarlson | salted: did you modify you bios settings to boot from a drive other than /dev/sda1 ? like hd(1,1)? | 05:14 |
| jadoe | "gdm-control --shutdown" gives me "** (process:2516): WARNING **: Failed to establish a connection with GDM: No such file or directory", any ideas? | 05:14 |
| salted | Blue1: yeah, the internal drive boots fine, if I don't choose the bootup drive in the bios startup it goes to the internal one with no questions and boots windows | 05:14 |

| S4ry | sudo = Super user | 05:17 |
| dendrite | anywho im trying tha right now. tyvm. brb | 05:17 |
| thune3 | salted: when the installer had you install grub bootloader do you remember what you put? | 05:17 |
| sacarlson | salted: your changes in the bios settings has confused grub2 and has made it modify the mbr on the wrong drive. you can manualy change grub2 to install on the disk you want to boot in bios or change bios to boot from the the mbr grub2 modifies by default /dev/sda | 05:17 |

| Geo|Android | Is there a keyboard shortcut to open a terminal window? | 05:18 |

| aslam | Any one developing android apps in ubuntu? | 05:18 |
| salted | thune3: The stupid dell bios doesn't give me an option to boot from the external drive unless I select it in the boot menu after pressing f-12. So how do I change grub2 to realize its on the external drive thing? | 05:19 |

| ActionParsnip | Nerdy3_14159265_: is it ok then? | 05:20 |
| sacarlson | salted: grub2 doesn't need the root to be in the same place as the mbr, but the mbr must be set as the point of boot in the bios | 05:20 |

| plouffe | Nerdy3_14159265_, try chairs sometimes. Much more comfortable | 05:20 |
| TiK | oh nm | 05:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Geo|Android: ALT+CTRL+T | 05:20 |
| Nerdy3_14159265_ | ActionParsnip: It's working, only thing is how can I import stuff from firefox off windows? | 05:20 |
| TiK | i mssed that line | 05:20 |
| deevz | Mark-I, my working directory is the one the .run file is in | 05:20 |
| Geo|Android | Thanks ActionParsnip. | 05:20 |
| Nerdy3_14159265_ | ActionParsnip: I saw that you can do it during install but I didn't do it because I thought it was the problem at a time | 05:20 |
| timewriter | salted , you can install grub on a different drive that can be the 1st boot device | 05:21 |
| MaRk-I | deevz: doesnt matter... add ./ to it | 05:21 |
| timewriter | i got that accidentally | 05:21 |
| prince_jammys | deevz: yeah, but the file is not in your sudo PATH, then. | 05:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Nerdy3_14159265_: it should be the same kinda layout but I am not sure,the bookmarks are stored in a html file if I recall, there are guides around for that sort of thng | 05:21 |
| deevz | hey, it works... | 05:21 |
| TiK | cool... | 05:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Geo|Android: if you use terminal alot, youmay consider guake (gnome) or yakuake (kde) | 05:21 |
| salted | timewriter: what if the external hard drive I want to install it on can't be made 1st boot device cause its a stupid dell computer? | 05:21 |
| Nerdy3_14159265_ | ActionParsnip: What does the install import then? | 05:22 |
| bluezone | g2g hf all | 05:22 |
| deevz | my sudo path eh? | 05:22 |
| Geo|Android | Well my problem right now is my mouse doesn't work :) | 05:22 |
| timewriter | salted , install grub on the internal HDD | 05:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Nerdy3_14159265_: http://www.nirmaltv.com/2007/07/25/how-to-back-up-bookmarks-in-firefox/ | 05:22 |
| deevz | so when I use a command I always need to use the absolute path? | 05:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Nerdy3_14159265_: no idea, i havent used firefox for ages now | 05:22 |
| sacarlson | salted: grub2 it totaly automatic it maters not if the drive is external but the mbr must be set to /dev/sda | 05:22 |
| salted | timewriter: how do you do that without erasing the drive in the install? | 05:22 |
| upgrdman | how do i remove the panel applet in the upper right corner, the one that has my username listed and when clicked lets me set "away" "busy" etc... | 05:22 |
| prince_jammys | deevz: not if the file is somewhere in the PATH used by sudo. | 05:23 |
| Nerdy3_14159265_ | I wasn't looking for bookmarks necessarily but also add ons and stuff. | 05:23 |
| Nerdy3_14159265_ | Doesn't matter then, I can figure it out now that ubuntu is working | 05:23 |
| ActionParsnip | deevz: only with executable binarys like that, otherwise theinterpreter will chck $PATH only | 05:23 |
| salted | I'm really new to all this | 05:23 |
| timewriter | grub doesnt erase your drive , if im not wrong | 05:23 |
| deevz | I see | 05:23 |
| deevz | and where is the sudo PATH defined? | 05:23 |
| prince_jammys | deevz: i.e. if it's at say, /usr/bin, or /sbin, you can just invoke the command by name. that doesn't apply to all dirs. | 05:23 |
| salted | I had the options to share drives, install on entire drive, or advanced, and I had no idea what to do in advanced | 05:23 |
| Nerdy3_14159265_ | Hey, how can I edit grub because it thinks I have 2 vista's installed along with my windows 7 and I want to delete them | 05:23 |
| salted | lol | 05:23 |
| timewriter | when i installed ubuntu , i did it on my sata raid array | 05:23 |
| spinull | soreau: got it | 05:24 |
| xangua | upgrdman: right clic UNDER session applet (not motification area) > remove | 05:24 |
| ActionParsnip | !grub2 | Nerdy3_14159265_ | 05:24 |
| timewriter | but the grub was installed on the IDE drive i have | 05:24 |
| ubottu | Nerdy3_14159265_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 05:24 |
| spinull | soreau: thanks | 05:24 |
| prince_jammys | deevz: it can be configured, and if it's not, i think it's hard coded in the prog. | 05:24 |
| BiggFREE | prince_jammys: I agree with you about Cap | 05:24 |
| timewriter | so i always have to boot the IDE drive first | 05:24 |
| prince_jammys | BiggFREE: me too. | 05:24 |
| BiggFREE | lol | 05:24 |
| SeanInSeattle_ | Hey all. How to configure VLC to play normal DVDs that I get from netflix | 05:24 |
| SeanInSeattle_ | ? | 05:24 |
| timewriter | and i had a lot of data on that IDE drive , and grub didnt erase anything | 05:24 |
| sacarlson | salted: grub2 just scans all drives hooked to your computer and creates a menu list to boot any of them external and internal including windows | 05:24 |
| deevz | cool prince_jammys, thx for the hint | 05:24 |
| blackstar | I have a rtl8192se wireless card on my laptop, any body know how can i get the mon0 to work with aircrack ? | 05:25 |
| deevz | im not really knowledful about all these PATH variables thingies. | 05:25 |
| Nerdy3_14159265_ | ubottu: Thanks | 05:25 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 05:25 |
| sacarlson | salted: but if you don't tell your bios to run the mbr that grub2 created it will never boot ubuntu | 05:25 |
| timewriter | salted , you can try something else : boot the ubuntu live cd , and reinstall grub , with your external drive plugged in | 05:25 |
| Nerdy3_14159265_ | ubottu: What? | 05:25 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:25 |
| timewriter | it may fix the problem | 05:25 |
| fugdnscerd | whats the difference between using apt-get dist-upgrade and the gui to do distro upgrade? | 05:25 |
| prince_jammys | deevz: they're there so you can invoke commands by name, not having to type their full path. sudo uses a stripped down version of PATH, for security. | 05:25 |
| ActionParsnip | deevz: if you run: echo $PATH you can see the folders, the apps in there can be called from any pwd in the system | 05:25 |
| salted | cool, well I'm gunna reboot and try that I guess, thanks, I'll be back if it al fails | 05:25 |
| Geo|Android | Alt ctrl T isn't working. I'm running some really old distro because it's all I could find lying around. [Sigh] | 05:25 |
| deevz | speaking of which, the installer just told me "Please make sure your PATH includes /usr/local/cuda/bin" | 05:26 |
| timewriter | btw guys i like 10.04.1 | 05:26 |
| Nerdy3_14159265_ | That's convenient, smart idea setting up a bot guys to solve some of the simpler questions | 05:26 |

| Nerdy3_14159265_ | ActionParsnip: Thanks for the help, sorry if I was a bit trying | 05:26 |
| timewriter | i need a coffee | 05:26 |
| deevz | prince, is that in the etc folder? | 05:26 |
| prince_jammys | deevz: [ -d /usr/local/cuda/bin ] && PATH=/usr/local/cuda/bin:$PATH in ~/.profile | 05:26 |
| prince_jammys | deevz: no, in your homedir. | 05:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Nerdy3_14159265_: we got there in the ed and thats what counts,you also know your hardware is healthy | 05:27 |
| fugdnscerd | actionparsnip: is there any way to do a distro upgrade from cli | 05:27 |
| sacarlson | timewriter: all salted had to do is put his bios back to default boot of the first disk /dev/sda or sometimes call hd(0,1) or hd(0,0) | 05:27 |
| ActionParsnip | !upgrade | fugdnscerd | 05:27 |
| ubottu | fugdnscerd: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 05:27 |

| prince_jammys | deevz: you'll have to log out and back in for that change to take effect in every shell you open. | 05:27 |
| TiK | night. | 05:27 |
| deevz | ok prince, thx... trying to find profile in my home directory | 05:28 |
| ActionParsnip | prince_jammys: can't you use: source ~/.profile ? to save a log off? | 05:28 |
| wildbat | hi~ anyone know y if i change the MAC address of my wlan0 ~ it can't connect to my router(MAC filtering is off ), while i still can connect to other router ? | 05:28 |
| prince_jammys | ActionParsnip: in every shell, yes. | 05:29 |
| prince_jammys | you'd have to manually source it every time. | 05:29 |
| ActionParsnip | wildbat: you can in /etc/network/interfaces | 05:29 |
| timewriter | sacarlson , if he has grub on the external drive , and the bios cant boot from external drives , now that may be a bit of a problem | 05:29 |
| deevz | I forgot '.' means the file is hidden... I had to check something to show hidden files | 05:29 |
| blackstar | I have a rtl8192se wireless card on my laptop, any body know how can i get the monitoring mode to work to work with aircrack to work under Lucid? | 05:29 |
| MaRk-I | wildbat: macchanger | 05:29 |
| gasull | Hi. I'm trying to install K-EncFS http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=54078 but because it's for KDE3 aptitude tries to remove most of my apps because of a conflict. Is there a way to solve this? With a chroot or something fancy? Is there an easier way? Thanks. | 05:29 |
| timewriter | i mean , bios cant be set up that way | 05:29 |
| sdubois | when i change an artist name in rhhthmbox, it changes but after a few seconds reverts to it's original name | 05:30 |
| jellow | blackstar: airmon-ng start wireless_interace? | 05:30 |
| wildbat | ActionParsnip, huh? | 05:30 |
| gasull | wildbat: also: macchanger-gtk | 05:30 |
| ActionParsnip | sdubois: do you have write access to the partition storing the file? | 05:30 |
| sacarlson | wildbat: it may be due to your ethernet switch that auto detects you mac address. try unplug and replug you ethernet plug | 05:30 |
| blackstar | jellow yes it does, but it does not create the mon0 | 05:30 |
| blackstar | thanks fpr answering | 05:30 |
| blackstar | for | 05:30 |
| sdubois | ActionParsnip: yes, it's all in ~/Music | 05:30 |
| gasull | wildbat: you will have to run it as root with gksudo | 05:31 |
| ActionParsnip | wildbat: you can change the mac in the interfaces file, or you can use macchanger | 05:31 |
| timewriter | anyone playing world of warcraft on ubuntu ? | 05:31 |
| sdubois | only seems to happen to one artist | 05:31 |
| sdubois | but i made sure to 777 that directory just to be sure | 05:31 |
| seidos | timewriter, I'm playing chess | 05:31 |
| ActionParsnip | sdubois: try easytag, does it act te same | 05:31 |
| gasull | blackstar: try in #aircrack-ng channel | 05:31 |
| timewriter | i can play chess using a real table and pieces :) | 05:31 |
| ActionParsnip | sdubois: 777 is a REALLY bad idea | 05:31 |
| torki | hjkkjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj | 05:31 |
| jellow | blackstar: Does it say monitor mode enabled on any of the interface or sipt out an error? | 05:31 |
| timewriter | too bad i cant do the same with wow | 05:31 |
| sdubois | ActionParsnip: it's just for one directory on my own computer | 05:32 |
| timewriter | whats PlayOnLinux ? | 05:32 |
| timewriter | wine based ? | 05:32 |
| ilmenite | is there a meta package to install all the devel packages? like g++, autoconf, etc? | 05:32 |
| sdubois | obviously not on anything important | 05:32 |
| sacarlson | sdubois: I think the name you see in the music is not the file name but the tag3 in the mp3 file | 05:32 |
| timewriter | ilmenite , maybe build-essential ? | 05:32 |
| prince_jammys | ilmenite: doubtful. that'd be a ton of packages. | 05:32 |
| ActionParsnip | ilmenite: build-essential | 05:32 |
| prince_jammys | ah, took it too literally | 05:32 |
| ilmenite | thanks :) | 05:32 |
| blackstar | it say on enable | 05:32 |
| gasull | timewriter: like wine, but it creates a .wine directory with its configuration for each Windows application installed | 05:32 |
| timewriter | thatnks gasull | 05:33 |

| timewriter | im waiting for Valve to bring Steam to linux | 05:33 |
| deevz | prince_jammys, is there a way to verify if I correctly set up the path? | 05:33 |
| timewriter | now , how do i fix the v-sync issue i have ? | 05:33 |
| prince_jammys | deevz: in a shell: echo $PATH | 05:33 |
| timewriter | after i installed the nvidia-current driver , i have no v-sync | 05:33 |
| MaRk-I | TimeRider: not happening, no steam | 05:34 |
| prince_jammys | deevz: you have to log out an back in if you want your new PATH available in every terminal you open. otherwise you'd have to manually source .profile every time you open a new terminal. | 05:34 |
| deevz | ok | 05:35 |
| deevz | it hasnt changed yet | 05:35 |
| blackstar_ | jellow it say rtl819xSE (monitor mode enabled) | 05:35 |
| deevz | but the current path is weird: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games | 05:35 |
| prince_jammys | deevz: your profile gets sourced once, on login | 05:35 |

| prince_jammys | deevz: looks like a standard ubuntu PATH | 05:35 |
| deevz | its like a very long recursive path or something | 05:35 |
| prince_jammys | deevz: just a list of dirs, separated by colons. | 05:35 |
| deevz | ill have to find an article on the subject | 05:35 |
| jellow | blackstar_: Then what is the porblem , just use that interface ? | 05:36 |
| deevz | sounds fair | 05:36 |
| timewriter | whats the best temperature monitoring app for ubuntu ? | 05:36 |
| ActionParsnip | timewriter: there is no best app, for anyting | 05:36 |
| blackstar_ | when i try to deauthenticate, my cel phone it does not work | 05:37 |
| prince_jammys | deevz: when you type say 'ls', bash will scan every dir starting with the first, looking for a file 'ls' to run. that's basically how it works. in that same terminal, bash will remember 'ls' after that. | 05:37 |
| ActionParsnip | timewriter: there is no best anything for anything in life | 05:37 |
| deevz | why is it I have to end my declaration in ~/.profile with the $PATH variable tho? | 05:37 |
| timewriter | ok , but we are talking about practical things , not phylosophy :) | 05:37 |
| prince_jammys | huh? | 05:37 |
| deevz | its a little weird PATH=/usr/local/cuda/bin:$PATH | 05:37 |
| blackstar_ | the interface mon0 is not created | 05:37 |
| === lintian is now known as yermandu | ||

| timewriter | thanks | 05:38 |
| prince_jammys | deevz: "path is the same as the current path, with the new dir prepended" | 05:38 |
| dougb_freebsd | so I have GRUB_DEFAULT=saved and GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true in /etc/defaults/grub.conf, but it's not working as advertised ... any ideas how to get it to boot the last OS chosen in the menu by default? | 05:38 |
| timewriter | i brought gkrellm | 05:38 |
| deevz | doesnt the $PATH at the end return the value of what I see in my terminal when I write echo $PATH? | 05:38 |
| ActionParsnip | timewriter: you are using an OS which gives freedom and choice, then you ask some complete strangers what you should use on your system. Sound familiar? | 05:38 |
| timewriter | yes | 05:38 |
| deevz | looks to me like there should be some recursion | 05:38 |
| timewriter | haha | 05:38 |
| ActionParsnip | timewriter: smacks of microsoft doesnt it | 05:38 |
| deevz | I must be confused somewhere | 05:39 |
| timewriter | ActionParsnip , considering that your way better than me with ubuntu , id like your advice | 05:39 |
| timewriter | thats why i ask | 05:39 |
| prince_jammys | deevz: no. you need the "$PATH" because you don't want to lose what's already in it. | 05:39 |
| timewriter | you`re* | 05:39 |
| deevz | Ohh... | 05:39 |
| deevz | makes sense | 05:39 |
| ActionParsnip | timewriter: search around dude, there are tonnes of temp monitoring solutions | 05:39 |
| Jordan_U | dougb_freebsd: What is happening? | 05:39 |
| DLIndy | Hey, I just reinstalled Ubuntu 10.04 and was having some issues with network manager. It is now not showing up in the top right, nor starting when I run nm-applet | 05:39 |
| timewriter | why bother to search when you can get the best answer from a ubuntu guy ?> | 05:39 |
| deevz | thats where my logic failed, I thought for some reason it was getting appended twice | 05:40 |
| dougb_freebsd | Jordan_U: it continues to show ubuntu as the default | 05:40 |
| DLIndy | I want to get on wireless, but do not know how now | 05:40 |
| prince_jammys | deevz: the system-wide PATH is already set higher up, before your profile gets sourced. you're just modifying it for your user. | 05:40 |
| deevz | yes, I understand now | 05:40 |
| greezmunkey | timewriter: it's always best to double check any advice, especially if it comes for free! | 05:40 |
| deevz | btw, what does this line do: . "$HOME/.bashrc" | 05:40 |
| prince_jammys | deevz: sources the file ~/.bashrc | 05:41 |
| timewriter | im not that paranoid , greezmunkey , and i trust those guys | 05:41 |
| deevz | "sources" uh? new concept to me, Ill have to look into that :) | 05:41 |
| dougb_freebsd | deevz: man bash | 05:41 |
| ActionParsnip | DLIndy: if you run: sudo lshw -C network you will see the wireless device identified. Websarch for that product line and you will find guides | 05:41 |
| timewriter | i have nothing special on my machine , and as long as they cant steal components via WAN , its ok for me | 05:41 |
| prince_jammys | deevz: this is a file that gets sourced every time you open a terminal. typically contains aliases, shell settings, your prompt string ... | 05:41 |
| Jordan_U | dougb_freebsd: Can you pastebin your /boot/grub/grubenv? Is your /boot on RAID/LVM ? | 05:42 |
| dougb_freebsd | lots of useful information there, even if you don't grasp it all in the first go | 05:42 |
| DLIndy | Thank you | 05:42 |
| timewriter | how do i install grub on my raid array ? | 05:42 |
| deevz | cool dougb | 05:42 |
| dougb_freebsd | Jordan_U: does lvm == logical volume? If so, then yes | 05:42 |
| deevz | I still have much to learn | 05:42 |
| greezmunkey | deevz: Specifically, the variable $HOME calls out your home directory, but is written that way to be useable for any user that is logged in, and running the script. | 05:43 |
| dougb_freebsd | deevz: we all started somewhere :) | 05:43 |

| === digitalvectorz is now known as grammarNazi | ||

| === edo32mb is now known as dvz- | ||
| deevz | :O | 05:43 |
| prince_jammys | that is a command, believe it or not. | 05:43 |
| deevz | thats weird | 05:44 |
| prince_jammys | so you're right, it's a command argument. | 05:44 |
| deevz | and ] is a command too then I guess | 05:44 |
| dougb_freebsd | Jordan_U: well, that was anticlimactic ... /boot/grub/grubenv has nothing in it | 05:44 |
| timewriter | ActionParsnip , and another think you get from asking profesionists , is that you can learn a lot :) | 05:44 |
| DoubleString | hey all | 05:44 |
| prince_jammys | deevz: no, ] is the last arg :) | 05:44 |
| deevz | such a confusing command then | 05:44 |
| prince_jammys | deevz: if you really want to learn bash, /join #bash and read the guide in the topic. | 05:44 |
| Jordan_U | dougb_freebsd: Savedefault doesn't work with LVM. GRUB2 does not write to LVM because it's complex enough that it can't be done completely safely. | 05:44 |
| rawfodog | Hi guys I was wondering if I can boot my ubuntu live usbkey in virtua box ? Im at an internet cafe right now and I dont think they want me turning off this computer. Im basically allowed to download anything I want though. | 05:44 |
| deevz | ok thx prince | 05:45 |
| prince_jammys | welcome | 05:45 |
| deevz | you helped me a lot | 05:45 |
| timewriter | anyway , same data transfer rate on windows 7 = 40 mb/sec , ubuntu 85 mb/sec | 05:45 |
| timewriter | i love this car | 05:45 |
| Geo|Android | Lol this device cannot do calls on its own. It is no modem | 05:45 |
| dougb_freebsd | Jordan_U: ah, crap ... well thanks for the definitive answer anyway :) | 05:45 |
| dougb_freebsd | I guess that means I'll have to be more-than-usually-awake when I first power up the laptop in the morning | 05:46 |
| Atomship | is there a uPnP server and client type software that works on ubuntu? | 05:46 |
| Jordan_U | dougb_freebsd: You can still use grub-set-default, just not savedefault. | 05:47 |
| Jordan_U | dougb_freebsd: You're welcome. | 05:47 |
| deevz | what about the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable, do I declare that in .profile too? | 05:47 |
| Geo|Android | Um how do I get out of ctrl f2 or whatever | 05:47 |
| prince_jammys | deevz: yes | 05:47 |
| ilyekkakai | How do I use a crossover cable to transfer files from my imac to my ubuntu pc? | 05:48 |
| dougb_freebsd | Jordan_U: I read the stuff about grub-foo but I was a little fuzzy on it ... is grub-set-default something I run at the command line in ubuntu to set the default for the next boot? | 05:48 |
| Geo|Android | Sudo reboot? | 05:48 |
| Jordan_U | dougb_freebsd: Yes. | 05:48 |
| prince_jammys | deevz: make sure you export it. 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=whatever' | 05:48 |
| prince_jammys | deevz: PATH is already exported, so you didn't have to bother with that. | 05:49 |
| timewriter | i love the super nintendo emulator | 05:49 |
| deevz | prince, I dont see the export keyword in front of path tho | 05:49 |
| ilyekkakai | how do I use a crossover ethernet cable? | 05:49 |
| timewriter | and i also love my 128 kbps line | 05:49 |
| dougb_freebsd | Jordan_U: ok, that's what I thought, that's just not what I was looking for | 05:49 |
| deevz | anyway, do I have to use the keyword everytime I redefine LD_LIBRARY_PATH? | 05:49 |
| greezmunkey | ilyekkakai: hub to hub, PC to PC... | 05:50 |
| Lock_drive_ | how to install the downloaded item using terminal | 05:50 |
| jr1 | looking for a rootkit for freebsd | 05:50 |
| ActionParsnip | ilyekkakai: you will need to set each PC with an address as there is no dhcp server | 05:50 |
| greezmunkey | ilyekkakai: like interface to like interface, get it?! | 05:50 |
| prince_jammys | deevz: not if you export it in your profile. | 05:50 |
| timewriter | Lock_drive_ , it is a .deb package ? | 05:50 |

| dougb_freebsd | I'll have to experiment with setting the default in the config file, I'm not quite ready for ubuntu to be my primary desktop yet :) | 05:51 |
| ActionParsnip | ilyekkakai: something like 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 will be fine, with the same netmask of 255.255.255.0 | 05:51 |

| === Tricia is now known as Guest16536 | ||

| ActionParsnip | ilyekkakai: you can now communicate between the two using the IP addresses (as there is no DNS server) | 05:51 |
| timewriter | .bin may be a disk image extension | 05:51 |

| Geo|Android | Srsly is sudo reboot the only way to get out of alt f2? | 05:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Lock_drive_: mark it as executable and run it. If you are STILL on about googleearth then the whole command I agave you will make it work | 05:52 |
| prince_jammys | Geo|Android: you mean you want to go back to an X session? | 05:52 |
| deevz | prince, im trying to get started with cuda | 05:52 |
| Geo|Android | I want my gui back even if I don't have a mouse | 05:52 |
| Geo|Android | Yessss please. | 05:52 |
| prince_jammys | Geo|Android: ctrl-alt-f7 | 05:52 |
| ActionParsnip | timewriter: file extensions mean very little in linux | 05:52 |
| Geo|Android | Oh you win at life | 05:52 |
| Geo|Android | Bless you | 05:52 |
| deevz | im not deep into linux and programming in general, but I know a bit of java | 05:52 |
| prince_jammys | Geo|Android: your X session runs at tty7 in ubuntu | 05:52 |
| timewriter | ActionParsnip , indeed | 05:52 |
| Geo|Android | Wat | 05:53 |
| Lock_drive_ | which command | 05:53 |
| deevz | now im trying to learn linux and c to code in cuda, I need to do stuff that java would be too slow to do | 05:53 |
| timewriter | thats why i said that it may be | 05:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Lock_drive_: are you trying to install googleearth still? | 05:53 |
| Lock_drive_ | yup | 05:53 |
| timewriter | anyway , im gonna play donkey kong country , right away | 05:53 |
| ilyekkakai | ActionParsnip, how do I configure the IP address on the Ubuntu side? At the moment when I put the plug in, the ubuntu network manager thing tries to automatically connect, then after a while fails. | 05:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Lock_drive_: i gave a big command earlier to download the .bin and install it, all you had to do was copy and paste it to terinal | 05:53 |
| dougb_freebsd | if I want to play flash in firefox, which plugin should I choose? | 05:53 |
| ActionParsnip | ilyekkakai: use network manager | 05:54 |
| dougb_freebsd | adobe, swfdec, or gnash? | 05:54 |
| ActionParsnip | dougb_freebsd: i'd go with the adobe one | 05:54 |
| prince_jammys | deevz: install the one from the repositories. | 05:54 |
| iherdsumthings | this crap is so illegal | 05:54 |
| prince_jammys | (which is from adobe) | 05:54 |
| Lock_drive_ | if don't mind please send it to me once again | 05:54 |
| dougb_freebsd | ok, thanks | 05:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Lock_drive_: jeez.....ok | 05:54 |
| iherdsumthings | you are all stealing from microsoft | 05:54 |
| deevz | prince_jammys, install what from the repos? | 05:55 |
| prince_jammys | iherdsumthings: no trolling. | 05:55 |
| Lock_drive_ | I am sorry to bother you | 05:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Lock_drive_: if you ask a question, in future do us all a favour and READ the replys | 05:55 |
| prince_jammys | deevz: wrong nickname. | 05:55 |
| Lock_drive_ | sure | 05:55 |
| deevz | iherdsumthings, you sir are funny | 05:55 |
| deevz | oh good, he left | 05:55 |
| prince_jammys | s/he left, amazingly | 05:55 |

| prince_jammys | quickie-troll | 05:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Lock_drive_: copy all that and paste it to a terminal, it will then setup everything for you. I gave you the exact same command earlier | 05:56 |
| greezmunkey | troll and run??? | 05:56 |
| prince_jammys | would be nice if it were always like that. | 05:57 |
| hiexpo | wow gave it to you easy way | 05:57 |
| deevz | prince_jammys, is there a way to list all the env variables in my terminal? | 05:57 |
| Lock_drive_ | Thank you very much Axtion..... | 05:57 |
| prince_jammys | deevz: 'env' | 05:57 |
| thune3 | dougb_freebsd: you can also change the filename numbering in /etc/grub.d to change boot order, like renaming 40_custom to 09_custom would put those entries before the ubuntu ones in 10_linux | 05:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Lock_drive_: use tab to complete nicks, its easier | 05:57 |
| Tempus_Fugit | hey does anyone know any free usenet or newsgroups i can get to ?? | 05:57 |
| Lock_drive_ | how do u do that | 05:57 |
| dougb_freebsd | thune3: yeah, that bit of the docs I actually understood, but thanks :) | 05:58 |
| Geo|Android | So angry! | 05:58 |
| Geo|Android | Ggrrrrr | 05:58 |
| Lock_drive_ | actually I want to learn ubuntu like anything but I am not being able that is why I am asking you all the silly questions | 05:58 |
| Lock_drive_ | hope you all guys won't mind | 05:59 |
| deevz | cool | 05:59 |
| timewriter | Lock_drive_ , youre able to learn anything | 05:59 |
| deevz | I feel like linux must be very fun when you can use bash to its fullest potential | 05:59 |
| Geo|Android | When I type stuff in ctrl alt f5 it says it can't open gui displays | 05:59 |
| dougb_freebsd | so what are my chances of mounting a freebsd ufs partition in ubuntu? what I've read so far has not been encouraging | 05:59 |
| MeXTuX | I'm using Lucid with two monitors and Ubuntu notifications are appearing on the right screen and I want the notifications to appear on my left screen for example when I'm using rhythmbox. IS it possible??? Tnx in advance :) | 06:00 |
| psilo2 | deevz: absolutely. some people will even tell you zsh/korn are more powerful than bash | 06:00 |
| timewriter | MeXTuX , maybe on the dual screen configuration | 06:00 |
| Tempus_Fugit | for some reason using the tab to complete a name doesnt work in empathy?? | 06:00 |
| Lock_drive_ | how do we learn about the terminal commands | 06:00 |
| dougb_freebsd | Lock_drive_: man pages are a good start | 06:01 |
| timewriter | you can set your left screen to be the main display , if not using clone | 06:01 |
| Tempus_Fugit | Lock_drive_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 06:01 |
| dougb_freebsd | ... or that | 06:01 |
| timewriter | Lock_drive_ , i dont know , ubuntuguide.org maybe can help | 06:01 |
| Geo|Android | I'm going to have to install winxp and I was really hoping to avoid that. | 06:01 |
| Tempus_Fugit | Geo|Android: just install a dual boot | 06:02 |
| timewriter | why Xp | 06:02 |
| Geo|Android | Is there no way to open a terminal window without a mouse so I can try to find the drivers for it? | 06:02 |
| greezmunkey | Lock_drive_: check this: http://www.linux-books.us/ubuntu_0002.php | 06:02 |
| prince_jammys | Geo|Android: alt-f2, and type 'xterm' | 06:02 |
| greezmunkey | Lock_drive_: there are many many resources available! :) enjoy! | 06:02 |
| Geo|Android | Dual boot still lands me with no mouse. | 06:02 |

| StepNjump | ActionParsnip: Thanks! | 06:08 |
| ActionParsnip | netrider: i'd ask in #winehq if its a wine issue | 06:08 |
| Geo|Android | Tried tab. You are 75 minutes too late. | 06:08 |
| OvermindDL1 | ActionParsnip: No response when I press the screen buttons, plenty of responses if I press anything else | 06:08 |
| OvermindDL1 | And they do work fine in windows | 06:08 |
| netrider | yes | 06:09 |
| timewriter | Tempus_Fugit , do you play world of warcraft ? | 06:09 |

| timewriter | use lock instead | 06:10 |
| deevz | aw | 06:10 |
| OvermindDL1 | ActionParsnip: I am used to working on SCO Unix at work, so, elaborate 'hcl'? Hardware Compatibility List? On the ubuntu wiki or so? | 06:10 |
| deevz | no, I need to log out in particular for something | 06:10 |
| netrider | pp | 06:10 |
| bigfishy | Actionparsnip: I tried renaming the syntax on that particular code segment with no luck. | 06:10 |
| ilyekkakai | ActionParsnip, I found the solution - on Ubuntu go to Network Connections > Add > IPv4 Settings > Method Link-local only. Then get the IP address from terminal with ifconfig. Then on the imac configure a corresponding IP address on the ethernet interface. Plug in the crossover cable and the imac automatically appears under the Network folder on the Ubuntu machine - no further configuration required. | 06:10 |
| rj1 | dougb_freebsd: no I havent | 06:10 |
| dougb_freebsd | rj1: that'll probably do the trick, unless you can log into the router (like dd-wrt) and flush the arp cache | 06:11 |
| timewriter | damn this 3G connection :( | 06:11 |
| dougb_freebsd | ... but reboot is probably your best bet | 06:11 |

I'm interested in launching an application (GNU Screen) whenever I open gnome-terminal - I added "screen" to my ~/.bashrc file earlier, but rather than doing what I hoped, it just kept creating new screen sessions. I tried an "exit 0" following the call to "screen" in the .bashrc but it didn't make a difference. Any ideas? | 06:19 |
| timewriter | sikun , you can create a bootable USB drive | 06:19 |
| MrBIOS | ah, thanks. Ye Olde "Alternative Lifestyle" Installre | 06:19 |
| * ActionParsnip uses elementary theme with a different background and the default decorator | 06:19 | |
| sikun | timewriter, yeah, if i could find my flash drives.... just finished moving and can't find a single thing of mine | 06:20 |
| maco | chu_: you'd want screen -r to reattach to a session | 06:20 |
| timewriter | harsh | 06:20 |
| ilmenite | chu_, make your default profile screen | 06:20 |
| ActionParsnip | sikun: if you dont check the iso files, it could be a corrupted or incomplete download | 06:20 |
| prince_jammys | i have an idea, type 'screen' | 06:20 |
| timewriter | i always have a 4GB usb drive tied to my house keys | 06:20 |
| timewriter | you never know when you need it | 06:20 |
| AshDragon | installing win7 on an intel ssd raid0 :D | 06:20 |
| timewriter | AshDragon , i have the same | 06:21 |
| timewriter | anyway | 06:21 |
| AshDragon | which raid drivers do you use? | 06:21 |
| chu_ | maco, the problem is, I don't always detach a screen session before leaving the terminal, so I don't quite think that's what I'm after (though I did consider it earlier). | 06:21 |
| timewriter | single SSD give better performance than RAID SSD | 06:21 |

| bigfishy | i am having issues with my mouse usb input device. After variable times the device stops responding. | 06:21 |
| chu_ | ilmenite: How does one go about that? I'm rather daft :) | 06:21 |
| bigfishy | Actionparsnip: I tried renaming the syntax on that particular code segment with no luck. | 06:21 |
| mae_tae | ActionParsnip, what do you mean? result of typing netstat -a | grep tftp is 0 0 *:tftp 0 | 06:21 |
| prince_jammys | chu_: that's why you can just type 'screen' and move on with your merry life. | 06:21 |
| timewriter | AshDragon , i was wrong , i dont have ssd , just WD sata drives | 06:21 |
| prince_jammys | trust me. | 06:21 |
| AshDragon | i googled it for awhile, but the only drivers i found with trim support were the '06 MS ones. are there any better? @timewriter | 06:21 |
| feodor | is there a good guide for setting up neverwinter nights on lucid lynx? | 06:21 |

| deevz | There should be a terminal at the bottom of file browser, like it can be done in gedit... is there any way to do that? | 06:22 |
| feodor | unless there are no special steps required to get it to work | 06:22 |
| timewriter | presario , its proven | 06:22 |
| presario | feodor use play on linux | 06:22 |
| python | it tells me input output error | 06:22 |
| timewriter | AshDragon , you need the Intel Rapid Storage Technology | 06:22 |
| chu_ | prince_jammys: Yeah, but it's tedious to type screen everytime I start a terminal session. I know this has to be possible. | 06:22 |
| python | without formating the drive | 06:22 |
| feodor | presario, eh? | 06:22 |
| timewriter | presario , raid arrays are different with SSds | 06:22 |

| JoeTheMan | I just installed 10.04 a few weeks ago (first Linux for me) and have been having issues with Compiz ever since, and it seems to be getting worse recently. Every once in a while, at seemingly random times, everything on my screen freezes up except for my mouse (well, it doesn't freeze, I get something like 1 frame every 3 seconds). To fix it, I have to open terminal, kill compiz, and restart it. Sometimes this can start happening every | 06:23 |
| presario | timewriter if you beleave so | 06:23 |
| chu_ | prince_jammys: Nah, I always want to run screen :) | 06:23 |
| presario | play on linux | 06:23 |
| python | its saying input output error | 06:23 |
| timewriter | AshDragon , doesnt that mobo use a Nforce controller ? | 06:23 |
| mae_tae | Actionscript, so how do i solve it? | 06:23 |
| presario | feodor play on linux | 06:23 |
| ActionParsnip | mae_tae: the packet got lost as it uses UDP which does not have all the extra functionality of TCP but is faster as it has less overhead | 06:23 |

| prince_jammys | chu_: then do what i do, have a term open full-time, running screen, in a workspace, and set that to start at startup. | 06:24 |
| AshDragon | typewriter: yes, but you can swap drivers from within win7 to the MS ones that support trim, which is what i'm going to do. | 06:24 |

| timewriter | presario , i got 3GB/sec transfer on my raid 0 sata raid | 06:24 |
| prince_jammys | chu_: but i _do_ type 'screen' the *first* time, and never close it. | 06:24 |
| mae_tae | ActionParsnip, so what do you suggest? how will i fix? what config file will i modify? | 06:24 |
| timewriter | ActionParsnip , its opening | 06:25 |
| presario | and do u really think you would get that with only 1 ssd drive | 06:25 |
| timewriter | way better | 06:25 |
| presario | what does a single drive data transfer at then timewriter | 06:26 |
| timewriter | but i cant afford to buy SSD yet | 06:26 |
| chu_ | prince_jammys: But even that first time is tedious! | 06:26 |

| StepNjump | maco I did a apt-get install on inux-headers-2.6.32-21 2.6.32-21.32 | 06:26 |
| StepNjump | and just found out it should have been a different version I should have installed. How could I uninstall the current version please? | 06:26 |
| presario | timewriter u have never had a ssd drive | 06:26 |
| deevz | can I exit X and still access a terminal to install a video driver? | 06:26 |
| timewriter | presario , you can check the charts and do a comparison , using HDDtach | 06:26 |
| prince_jammys | chu_: problem is that screen may already be running, maybe more than one | 06:26 |
| timewriter | ActionParsnip , i use the same decorator , but with awoken icons | 06:26 |
| AshDragon | the intel ssd drives are 3gb/s individually. if you have two and the i/o requests are sent to separate drives, that should be a 100% improvement; of course with misaligns where the data is on separate drives, the performace goes down, but the overall should be substantially higher than a single drive. on paper this should work perfectly, in practice.. i'll see in a few days. | 06:26 |
| StepNjump | sorry.. linux-headers-2.6.32-21 2.6.32-21.32 | 06:27 |
| timewriter | presario , no , but i read articles | 06:27 |
| timewriter | practice is different :) | 06:27 |
| StepNjump | Guys, how could I uninstall file: linux-headers-2.6.32-21? | 06:27 |
| bigfishy | thune3: its a usb mouse | 06:27 |
| timewriter | its also a matter of the raid controller | 06:27 |
| AshDragon | true; but even with a crappy one, it should be a performance improvement. especially with a high stripe size | 06:28 |
| timewriter | StepNjump , apt-get autoremove may fix it | 06:28 |
| timewriter | performance is better with smaller strip size | 06:28 |
| timewriter | like 64kb better than 128kb | 06:28 |
| ActionParsnip | StepNjump: sudo apt-get install headers-2.6.32-21-generic | 06:28 |
| timewriter | on raid 0 | 06:28 |

| StepNjump | ActionParsnip so I just install the correct one on top of the wrong one? | 06:29 |
| ActionParsnip | mae_tae: use ftp instead of tftp and it will use TCP and give guaranteed delivery once the connection is made | 06:29 |
| timewriter | ActionParsnip , didnt see the awn-dock | 06:29 |
| AshDragon | larger, not smaller; the smaller stripe size means data is read and written to/from both drives; you want to maximize the number of i/o requests that get data from a single drive, meaning the drives cann work independantly on separate queued requests. if they're both working on the same request, there's much less of a performance improvement. | 06:29 |

| StepNjump | So do I need to uninstall the one I installed in error first? | 06:30 |
| jamie__ | so...I want debian, but I'm lazy. What will I gain/lose from using Ubuntu and stripping down the features? (i.e. gwibber, make my own themes, etc, etc. basically use Ubuntu as a Debian installer...) | 06:30 |
| ActionParsnip | StepNjump: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.32-24-generic linux-headers-generic | 06:31 |
| AshDragon | i'm done :) @ bazhang | 06:31 |
| chu_ | Ahhh, can't send to #screen :( | 06:31 |
| SomethingElse | Can someone please tell me how to find out how much ram I have? | 06:31 |
| maco | SomethingElse: free -m | 06:31 |
| Flannel | jamie__: Get the alternate CD, it uses debian-installer (and will save you the effort of having to strip stuff out) | 06:31 |
| SomethingElse | thanks | 06:31 |
| timewriter | bazhang , ok | 06:31 |
| StepNjump | ActionParsnip thanks! | 06:31 |
| prince_jammys | jamie__: you may install ubuntu from the alternate/minimal cd. | 06:31 |
| mae_tae | ActionParsnip, i see, actually what im trying to do is implement that THIN client, the client side is actually recieve already its DHCP IP but have an error in TFTP - File Not Found | 06:31 |
| jamie__ | Flannel: really? | 06:31 |
| ActionParsnip | jamie__: you can use ubuntu minimal if you wish and build up | 06:31 |
| Flannel | jamie__: Yes. | 06:31 |
| bigfishy | i am having issues with my mouse usb input device. After variable times the device stops responding. | 06:31 |
| ActionParsnip | mae_tae: then i'd look at the config of the pxe server | 06:32 |
| Roky | Ubuntu minimal is awesome! Just so people that are thinking about using it know ;) | 06:32 |
| prince_jammys | jamie__: though this is very similar to installing debian from a netinstall, so if you're lazy ... | 06:32 |
| Flannel | jamie__: by default it installs a full desktop, but if you choose a "command line" install, you'll just install a base system | 06:32 |
| jamie__ | flannel: will anything be missing? Will it have Gnome, etc? | 06:32 |
| ActionParsnip | bigfishy: when it drops press CTRL+ALT+T and run: dmesg | tail it will give clues | 06:32 |
| coz_ | Roky, ubuntu minimal or minimal install cd? | 06:32 |
| jamie__ | Flannel: nm I type slow lol | 06:32 |
| Roky | jamie__: You choose what you want. | 06:33 |
| Flannel | jamie__: You can install gnome afterwards from the repositories, of course. | 06:33 |
| thune3 | bigfishy: the only thing i know along those lines, is that some devices have problems with usb suspend. you could try disabling it for all devices (as a test), and if it works then disable it on mouse only later. sudo bash -c 'echo "-1" > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend' | 06:33 |
| Roky | coz_: minimal install cd. | 06:33 |
| coz_ | Roky, yes I agree | 06:33 |
| ActionParsnip | bigfishy: make sure the usb is set to legacy, this can help usb mice and keyboards | 06:33 |
| jamie__ | flannel: is it much/any different from a Debian netinstall? | 06:33 |
| SomethingElse | I would like to use a USB key as the swap file. Is that easy to do? | 06:33 |
| Roky | the ncurses based synaptic app is sweet. | 06:33 |
| Tempus_Fugit | SomethingElse: free -m | 06:33 |
| bigfishy | actionparsnip: i will save a log of those clues thank you | 06:34 |
| Flannel | jamie__: it uses debian-installer. Alternate CD doesn't need the internet, minimal CD does (same installer, one has packages on the CD, the other doesn't and needs the internet to download them) | 06:34 |
| ActionParsnip | SomethingElse: sure, just partition and format it as swap then add it in fstab as your swap space | 06:34 |
| StepNjump | ActionParsnip: I get this error message when I attempt to install the correct package: /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission non accordée) | 06:34 |
| StepNjump | permission not granted | 06:34 |
| jamie__ | Roky: aptitude>apt-get as well - keep that in mind ;-) | 06:34 |
| ActionParsnip | StepNjump: do you have software centre open? | 06:34 |
| ActionParsnip | jamie__: both are equally good | 06:34 |
| StepNjump | I can do that | 06:34 |
| thune3 | SomethingElse: my usb flash drive has random write performance in the 20kB/s range, i would NEVER consider it for flash duty with that performance | 06:34 |
| prince_jammys | jamie__: that's what s/he meant by the "ncurses synaptic", aptitude. | 06:34 |
| ActionParsnip | StepNjump: no, its a question, do you have it running? | 06:34 |
| StepNjump | oh | 06:35 |
| StepNjump | you are right | 06:35 |
| StepNjump | I were | 06:35 |

| FloodBot3 | StepNjump: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:35 |
| ActionParsnip | StepNjump: thats why then, the software centre was locking the packages | 06:35 |
| jamie__ | Flannel: Will I end up with a basic Ubuntu or will I end up with basic Debian though? (debian seems to not like my graphics card.... can't even login once installed) | 06:35 |

| coz_ | SomethingElse, how big is the hard drive and what do you have on it ? | 06:36 |
| prince_jammys | jamie__: can't argue with that | 06:36 |
| jamie__ | Flannel: Thanks for the help! Only took me 3 minutes to get the info off this channel! I'll definitely be back here! | 06:36 |
| ActionParsnip | SomethingElse: remove old kernels, remove ubuntu-docs (if you never use it (likely)), remove openoffice and install abiword if you only use writer | 06:36 |
| SomethingElse | that drive is 200 gig.. and I use it as the down load drive.. | 06:37 |
| Roky | jamie__: Both really esentually do the same thing. And it is a base of ubuntu. But if you have installed debian, you will recognize some things and the default wallpaper if you install the gnome-base ;) | 06:37 |

| Tempus_Fugit | rww: sorry you feel that way but i kinda get the feeling if more people on the planet knew there was a better alternative alot less people would be using "windows" | 06:49 |
| ActionParsnip | ElTimo: i recommend you use one. routers have 4 connectors on the back you can easily use | 06:49 |

| ActionParsnip | ElTimo: otherwise you will need a connection to download stuff | 06:53 |
| ElTimo | ActionParsnip: wireless worked when I first installed, but once I updated the kernel it went kaput | 06:53 |

| lophted | mneptok: thanks again. Like i said, i'm looking for something Desktop based. I appreciate the input. | 07:01 |
| nikolam | Why there is stated "Not recommended for daily desktop usage" beside 64-bit desktop ubuntu image download link?? | 07:01 |
| netbkneutrino1 | is it a problem if grub always starts up | 07:02 |
| nikolam | I use it happily as a desktop for.. several years on 64bit | 07:02 |
| nikolam | and especially now, I have no as of any problem at all | 07:02 |
| prince_jammys | netbkneutrino1: no, that's normal. | 07:02 |
| umc | because probably some people don't know if they have 32 bit or 64bit nikolam | 07:02 |
| joebobjoe | which high end graphics are the best for *nix, ati or nvidia? | 07:02 |
| crazy | hello world | 07:02 |
| netbkneutrino1 | thanks prince jammys | 07:02 |
| umc | and 32 works on all machines, vice-versa not always | 07:03 |
| nikolam | umc, that does not sound as good answer. They sure will discover if 64bit disc does not work and they will realize that they made mistake not distro. | 07:03 |
| lophted | nikolam: i believe the reason 64bit is not recommended for daily desktop usage is because proprietary flash is not officially supported on the 64bit version of ubuntu. | 07:03 |
| umc | crazy, I've never had problems with ati, can't speak on nvidias behalf | 07:03 |
| sacarlson | nikolam: ever use google earth, a canon printer, skype , ruby watir? the list goes on that don't support 64bit yet. I lived with it for 2 years. without more than 2gig don't bother. | 07:04 |
| dougb_freebsd | I was curious about that as well ... is the 64-bit version generally safe? I have a core 2 duo and 64 bit windows works fine | 07:04 |
| nikolam | lophted, that also is not good reason, since I use 64bit flash, like.. for a long time now and it is there automatically and.. working rather well, too | 07:04 |
| nikolam | sacarlson, yes, I use skype on 64bit for a LONG time, google earth, too, ever since 10.04 i used it on 64bit without problem.. | 07:05 |
| nikolam | And beside list, I AM using it with no problems.. | 07:05 |
| lophted | nikolam: Check your version of the driver you have. | 07:05 |
| nikolam | lophted, what driver you are reffering to? | 07:05 |
| sacarlson | nikolam: that's only one of the many that are starting to support 64bit they still don't all support it. I'm sure there will be a day when they all do but just not yet. | 07:06 |
| nikolam | I am thinking, memory is VERY cheap now. People are going outside shops with machines that have 4GB+ ram these days. Telling people it is not OK to use 64bit Ubuntu is ridiculous | 07:06 |
| lophted | nikolam: i'm sorry i meant plug-in. In all likelyhood, you have the proprietary version of the flash 32bit plug-in, which works fine with 64bit ubuntu. | 07:06 |
| nikolam | lophted, nope, you are wrong. there IS 64bit flash | 07:07 |
| nikolam | for linux at least | 07:07 |
| sacarlson | nikolam: they also have kernels now that support 4gig+ with 32bit | 07:07 |
| maco | nikolam: adobe killed it | 07:07 |
| nikolam | But nevermind, it works well thats my point | 07:07 |
| ElTimo | nikolam: they discontinued it because they're lazy | 07:07 |
| maco | nikolam: the last version is from before a major security update | 07:07 |
| lophted | nikolam: i never said there wasn't a 64bit version of the plug-in. | 07:07 |
| sacarlson | nikolam: well take a look at the long list of people 1000's with just the problem of no canon printer. that alone is enuf for me. | 07:08 |
| lophted | nikolam: i said you most likely have the 32bit version. The 64bit version is at what stage of development? | 07:08 |
| nikolam | and 64bit linux had always edge over windblows, etc. Point is. 64bit works VERY well for Years for me and I see absolutely no reason to fear people | 07:08 |
| === Weretiger is now known as Tricia | ||
| maco | lophted: 64bit flash was alpha, maybe beta, and was killed. a few weeks later a new version of flash 10 came out that fixed a major security vulnerability | 07:08 |
| === tomas-_ is now known as tomas-_|away | ||
| nikolam | sacarlson, like, I don't care at all about Canon if they don't want to support their hardware.. their choice and I also don't think that support for one manufacturer of printers is valid reason for scaring people of Good-working 64-bit Ubuntu for desktop | 07:09 |
| nikolam | OK. Will not push further. i think still there is no valid reason not to use 64 bit on recent machines, when memory is so cheap | 07:09 |
| === alex88[away] is now known as alex88 | ||

| VegasMike | Hi Ubuntu Gurus. I try to install gnome desktop and I get: Depends: swfdec-mozilla but it is not going to be installed. Then I install swfdec-mozilla, try to install Gnome and I get: Depends: epiphany-extensions but it is not going to be installed. I, then, install epiphany-extensions and I get: Depends: swfdec-mozilla but it is not going to be installed. This endless loop is frustrating. I just want Gnome. Any insight? | 07:14 |
| UbuntuNoob | whats up | 07:14 |
| itsux2bu | i have 100+ linked html webpages locally on my computer.. can FF print them all in order? | 07:15 |
| Tempus_Fugit | has anyone else tried the new 3.0 gnome-shell and have it configured so that I might see a screen shot of what is possible?? | 07:15 |
| prince_jammys | VegasMike: how are you installing gnome? | 07:15 |
| sacarlson | itsux2bu: you can export them into html and print that in openoffice | 07:15 |
| nikolam | sacarlson, i think it took me no time at all and that I ahd it installed from medibuntu or whatever, right after install | 07:15 |
| VegasMike | Synoptic package manager | 07:16 |
| === unnamed is now known as Guest21093 | ||
| prince_jammys | VegasMike: what package? | 07:16 |
| sacarlson | nikolam: most these people aren't experts like you | 07:16 |
| itsux2bu | sacarlson, they are already html | 07:16 |
| sacarlson | nikolam: including myself | 07:16 |
| VegasMike | I mark gnome etc. | 07:16 |
| sacarlson | itsux2bu: then open it in openoffice and try printing it | 07:16 |
| prince_jammys | VegasMike: sounds not right, but the usual way to install gnome is by installing 'ubuntu-desktop' | 07:16 |
| nikolam | sacarlson, I think regular user should not be an expert to add repository, and click search for installing apps. That is actually basic functionality i suppose, everyone get used to under Ubuntu desktop, sooner or later when he/she wants more apps. | 07:17 |
| VegasMike | Looked for ubuntu desktop... didn't see it in synaptic | 07:18 |
| sacarlson | nikolam: is medibuntu enven releated to ubuntu? I think they are like ubuntu and debian different | 07:18 |
| prince_jammys | !info ubuntu-desktop | 07:18 |
| ubottu | ubuntu-desktop (source: ubuntu-meta): The Ubuntu desktop system. In component main, is optional. Version 1.197 (lucid), package size 31 kB, installed size 60 kB | 07:18 |
| prince_jammys | VegasMike: look again | 07:18 |
| nikolam | sacarlson, well, yes, but also it is So easy to add and use it. It is best to be in separate repo. | 07:19 |
| VegasMike | ok... hold... | 07:19 |
| sacarlson | nikolam: well I could go ahead and start mixing my repository with debian then and hope that won't cause any problems | 07:19 |
| sacarlson | nikolam: what do I do when I upgrade? | 07:20 |
| === vaibhav1 is now known as Koalabear | ||
| nikolam | sacarlson, that is not mixing with debian. who told you that. Everu repo and PPA I added is strictly for Ubuntu version I use. Medibuntu , Getdeb and all PPA and other sources, too | 07:20 |
| sacarlson | nikolam: ppa is where I started getting my original upgrade problems. that's why I asked. | 07:21 |
| VegasMike | Only have ubuntu-xen-desktop... using netbook edition of Ubuntu | 07:21 |
| nikolam | sacarlson, nothing, usually you remove packages from, like getdeb when upgrading and re-add them later. rest of them are there to stay and need mostly no intervention. If you are also on LTS for long installation, some people even stay on LTS for some time and they are happy | 07:21 |
| zzzed_ | nikolam, what is Getdeb? | 07:21 |
| maco | zzzed_: a third party source of debs that have not been reviewed by ubuntu developers | 07:22 |
| nikolam | zzzed_, repo /site with newer apps for current ubuntu releases, see #getdeb (getdeb.net) | 07:22 |
| sacarlson | nikolam: wow easy for the experts. but poor not so smart people like me give up and reinstall and loose stuf. but that's just me. | 07:22 |
| shawn146 | good evening | 07:22 |
| zzzed_ | thx all | 07:22 |
| VegasMike | Thanks for helping Prince | 07:23 |
| nikolam | sacarlson, anyway, If one have new machine he should use 64bit and thats it. | 07:23 |

I know in Linux there is no system restore. Not knowing what I did exactly to crash my system, is there a way to revert back to the original drivers I used to use for ub | 08:09 |
| StepNjump | untu that came pre-installed? I can't even remember which bash command I issued now that the computer is down | 08:09 |
| ReadPlease | I'm trying to install using a USB drive.... | 08:09 |
| ReadPlease | I already downloaded the file. Do I need to run the Universal USB Installer's download function? | 08:09 |
| TerrenceKJ | Hi all | 08:09 |
| TerrenceKJ | I need some help with wxWidgets on codelite | 08:10 |
| ReadPlease | It's kind of lame. Step 1, download. Step 2, download again and install.... I should read all the steps, first, next time. :> | 08:10 |
| TheMusicGuy | jellow, I ended up apt-get purge-ing evolution from my system, then reinstalling it. That seems like it did the trick. | 08:10 |
| Eksra | any knowledge on min install and deb netinstall diff? | 08:10 |
| Eksra | TheMusicGuy: aptitude>apt-get every time. | 08:11 |
| TerrenceKJ | My wxString assignments throw an error saying 'use of = operator is ambiguous' - any help | 08:11 |
| TheMusicGuy | Eksra, why? | 08:11 |
| TerrenceKJ | Whats the command to show the channels | 08:12 |
| Eksra | ncurses based, gives more information, has more flags available. More robust, and probably more stable | 08:12 |
| psilo2 | TerrenceKJ: first of all, totally wrong channel. secondly, wxWidgets is fucking evil. thirdly, it's because you're assigning a string on the rhs and wx isn't sure how to cast it. Explicitly cast it for wx. | 08:12 |
| timewriter | TerrenceKJ , /list | 08:13 |
| TheMusicGuy | Eksra, kind of unnecessary if you already know exactly what package names you want and what you want to do with them. | 08:13 |
| Eksra | TheMusicGuy: old habits die hard, I suppose :-) Aptitude has been around for, what, 15 years now? | 08:13 |
| TheMusicGuy | emacs has been around longer than me. But I still don't use it. :) | 08:14 |
| Rums | Okay, just gonna throw this question out there because googling is gaining me nothing. | 08:14 |
| Eksra | TheMusicGuy: hehe some actually have legit reason to use emacs over vi/vim, but I see your point. When was Emacs released, anyway? | 08:15 |

| Rums | I'm installing ubuntu off a USB drive (Universal USB creator). I'm putting it on my netbook. Boots and installs okay. Reboot to finish the installation and I get a blank screen with a blinking cursor. Nothing else. Anyone? | 08:15 |

| Eksra | ***Any help with MinInstall Ubuntu 10.04 vs Debian Squeeze Netinstall? Any difference???*** | 08:16 |
| TheMusicGuy | I'm just saying, there's no point mucking around in menus of any kind, whether graphical or terminal-based, if you can just type exactly what it is you want to do. | 08:16 |
| acid | hi | 08:16 |
| uncle_sin | hi | 08:16 |
| TheMusicGuy | Menus are for when you _don't_ know exactly what you want. | 08:16 |
| Eksra | TheMusicGuy: I know, I just type "sudo aptitude install foo" or "sudo aptitude update/upgrade" etc. | 08:16 |
| uncle_sin | i hare menus | 08:16 |
| acid | im having something funny going on my ubuntu server | 08:16 |
| uncle_sin | *hate | 08:16 |
| presario | rums sounds like the xorg is not configuring | 08:17 |
| acid | everytime i try to do something i get an error message saying "a read only file system" | 08:17 |
| acid | i googled with no luck | 08:17 |
| Eksra | uncle_sin then why do you use X server? | 08:17 |
| timewriter | whats chmod -R ? | 08:17 |
| TheMusicGuy | Eksra, also, I want to say emacs has been around for about ~40 years, but I'm probably wrong about that. | 08:18 |
| TerrenceKJ | thanks Timewriter | 08:18 |
| TerrenceKJ | timewriter: thanks | 08:18 |
| timewriter | TerrenceKJ , youre welcome , but what for ? | 08:18 |
| uncle_sin | when i deal with programmes that need X | 08:18 |
| Rums | any thoughts on my completely blank boot? | 08:18 |
| TheMusicGuy | I probably ought to learn how to use emacs just so I can see what all the fuss is about, but that would be like learning a new language... | 08:19 |
| Eksra | themusicguy: hmmm... that's around the time my mother was working on the VR training for what was *then* the M1X Abrahms tank for the Army (X was bc it was x-perimental at the time ;-) | 08:19 |
| dougb_freebsd | more like a new operating system :) | 08:19 |
| sacarlson | Rums: but it worked in try mode from the usb boot disk? | 08:19 |
| Eksra | uncle_sin: like a DE? | 08:19 |
| AshDragon | emacs is nice. | 08:19 |
| Rums | sacarlson: yea, installed from the live USB | 08:19 |
| bazhang | TheMusicGuy, Eksra please take editor chat to #ubuntu-offtopic | 08:19 |
| AshDragon | doesn't mean i like using it, but it is nice. | 08:19 |
| sacarlson | Rums: try shut off and on again? any sign that grub2 started? | 08:20 |
| TheMusicGuy | Ah, I'm probably going to lose all my time to this discussion...sorry, but as much as I'd like to continue I must leave | 08:20 |

| uncle_sin | my KDE in ubuntu 10.04 got crashed | 08:21 |
| Eksra | uncle_sin: you have no DE? just a WM? | 08:21 |
| Rums | sacarlson: nope, just get the HP splash screen and it goes right to the blinking cursor | 08:21 |
| timewriter | gnome for the win | 08:21 |
| uncle_sin | specially logoff and turn off button | 08:21 |
| presario | rums start in safe mode and try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 08:21 |
| sacarlson | Rums: well the splash screen means it got part way into grub | 08:21 |
| presario | rums or ctrl alt f1 | 08:21 |
| sacarlson | Rums: did you unplug the usb disk yet? | 08:21 |
| Rums | No, I mean the HP splash screen. For the laptop. | 08:22 |
| uncle_sin | they're not responding | 08:22 |
| Rums | Yea, USB is removed | 08:22 |
| sacarlson | Rums: oh the bios screen | 08:22 |
| Eksra | uncle_sin: Wow, for someone who hates menus, you used Kubuntu???? lmao. noob. and @timewriter +1 gnome=ftw. | 08:22 |
| Rums | Yea, sorry. No grub | 08:22 |
| Rums | Is there another way to start it in safe mode? | 08:22 |
| Eksra | So NOBODY can help me with the install differences? Alot of info in this room. I'll be sure to be back. Thanks, useless. | 08:22 |
| thune3 | acid: if filesystem errors are encountered, your system may be set to drop to read only. You can check the logs. You might need an fsck | 08:22 |
| timewriter | Eksra , thanks for calling me a noob . | 08:23 |
| maco | !noob | Eksra | 08:23 |
| ubottu | Eksra: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. | 08:23 |
| timewriter | oh , sorry , my english is bad Eksra | 08:23 |
| sacarlson | Rums: ok boot from usb boot again and mount the location you installed it to see if it installed. if it's there then reinstall grub2 | 08:23 |
| presario | from start up use grub to select safe mode | 08:23 |
| psilo2 | Eksra: give me a break. run a tiling window manager before you run around calling people noobs. I like XMonad. | 08:23 |
| acid | thune3, i did fsck -y /dev/sda1 | 08:23 |
| maco | psilo2: xmonad++ | 08:23 |
| timewriter | i apologize | 08:23 |
| Flannel | Eksra: There are differences, yes. | 08:23 |
| acid | and waiting for the results | 08:23 |
| uncle_sin | firefox in ubuntu 10.04 always crash | 08:23 |
| Rums | Okay, I'll go back into the USB, one second. | 08:23 |
| uncle_sin | after update firefox, it still happen | 08:24 |
| maco | uncle_sin: you can start up the plasma-desktop by running that command in your terminal | 08:24 |
| acid | thune3, but what causes this kind of error regularly ? | 08:24 |
| ShinyDarkness | What were you doing to make it crash? | 08:24 |
| sacarlson | Rums: oh and did you change the bios to boot from a different location? if so put it back to boot default for /def/sda | 08:24 |
| maco | uncle_sin: alt+f2 (krunner) should still work after plasma-desktop or plasma-netbook crashes too | 08:24 |
| psilo2 | This channel has a stifling official policy, I have to say. | 08:24 |
| Eksra | Ok, everybody flame Eksra after people use the work "fuck" in the room, for calling someone out on saying their KDE crashed after they said they don't use DEs. I guess that'll teach me to try Ubuntu lol. I just wanted Aptitude. Oh well. | 08:24 |
| bazhang | psilo2, please stay on topic | 08:24 |
| psilo2 | Exactly. | 08:25 |
| maco | Eksra: watch your langauge | 08:25 |
| psilo2 | I think we'd be a lot better off without ubottt. | 08:25 |
| Sebbie | Wow. This is intense. | 08:25 |
| Eksra | maco: scroll up and read other peoples writing before telling me off. | 08:25 |
| thune3 | acid: sometimes it's random, sometimes it's that a series of unclean mounts without automatic fsck takes its toll, sometimes its a hardware connection/power problem. | 08:25 |
| maco | Eksra: im seeing misbehaviour right now, so im saying something right now | 08:25 |
| psilo2 | bazhang doesn't even contribute anything, he just waits vigilantly for someone to go off topic and then sics a bot on us | 08:25 |
| maco | psilo2: bazhang and i are both ops | 08:26 |
| acid | ohh so its nothing to worry about | 08:26 |
| psilo2 | maco: ok? | 08:26 |
| acid | i thought someone was trying to mess around | 08:26 |
| maco | psilo2: we're like the channel police | 08:26 |

I feel like Vanilla WoW in the Barrens General chat...... I'll be leaving now. This has been a wonderful waste of my time. Thanks for nothing guys. Enjoy your **noob** distro. If you don't want a DE, then get slack sans kde or LFS/Arch for that matter. | 08:31 |

| mneptok | uwjweq: try the server version or JEOS | 08:32 |
| maco | !mini | uwjweq | 08:32 |
| ubottu | uwjweq: 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 | 08:32 |

| AshDragon | srv: look at the ftp log if you have access. if the remote computer doesn't connect at all, it's a networking issue on either end. if it doesn't authenticate, that's easy enough to fix. | 08:33 |

| bazhang | ReadPlease, no drivers needed for that | 08:41 |
| ReadPlease | Right. That's probably it, timewriter. It does require that. | 08:41 |
| timewriter | then you need to provide the username and password in order to connect to the internet | 08:42 |
| ReadPlease | That was the annoying part. The username is some kind of strange code. | 08:42 |
| ReadPlease | Drivers won't be a problem, though? | 08:42 |
| ReadPlease | Cool. Good to know. | 08:42 |
| bazhang | ReadPlease, none needed | 08:42 |
| timewriter | no drivers problem , just grab the in ternet contract or call provider | 08:42 |
| ReadPlease | now I just need to go to ##windows and see if they know how to get the username? :D | 08:42 |
| ReadPlease | orrrrrr maybe someone here knows? | 08:42 |
| timewriter | you get the username from the internet provider | 08:43 |
| bazhang | ReadPlease, windows issue? sounds like router issue | 08:43 |

| industrial | I have installed and compiled vim to ~/Applications/vim-7.3. I source it's bin/ dir in my bashrc. My gnome session does not recignize the program vim and it is not in the path there. How do I make it so? | 08:46 |

| timewriter | vi works for me | 08:47 |
| bazhang | industrial, why compile? | 08:48 |
| timewriter | no need to install vim | 08:48 |
| industrial | so? vim 7.3 compiled just fine | 08:48 |
| industrial | I have path issues | 08:48 |
| industrial | vim > vi | 08:48 |
| industrial | any day :P | 08:48 |
| timewriter | youre a big text editor , arent you ? | 08:48 |
| maco | timewriter: vi is an alias for vim on ubuntu... | 08:48 |
| timewriter | maco , i know :) | 08:48 |
| timewriter | but vi works out of the box | 08:48 |
| bazhang | industrial, its in the repos, no need to compile | 08:48 |
| industrial | bazhang: because it is not updated in the repo and I want the Lua programming API that the new vim 7.3 provides | 08:49 |

| Vbitz | mxe5, really a question for #freenode | 08:53 |
| simoncpu | mxe5: just change your nickname | 08:53 |
| simoncpu | and if it complains that it's already registered, then it is | 08:53 |
| simoncpu | hehehe | 08:53 |

| dreamor | I'm setting up a raid 1 data volume with LVM and encryption. Should I put the encryption at the mdraid mirror volume layer or the lvm (vg) layer? Does it matter and why? | 08:56 |
| mneptok | dreamor: i'd use dm-crypt at the LVM level. and be sure /boot sits outside that. | 08:57 |
| mxe5 | rww: So you could run - /msg nickserv info (Nickname I want use ) and this would give results if it's taken correct ? | 08:57 |
| Ximal | I can't get any games I download from the ubuntu software center to run . I downloaded open arena and alien arena and neither will work . What am I doing wrong ? | 08:57 |
| dreamor | mneptok, I'm only encrypting the data volume. Why did you choose the lvm layer? | 08:58 |
| Ximal | It sure would be nice if someone had the time to help me trouble shoot this crud | 08:58 |
| rww | mxe5: correct. It says it's not registered if it isn't. | 08:58 |
| mneptok | dreamor: i trust the kernel's dm-crypt and LVM support more so than RAID | 08:59 |
| mxe5 | rww: Ypu just did it with this Nick that I regetered and am using. | 08:59 |
| mxe5 | rww: Is it ok to have more than one NIckname registered ? | 09:00 |
| dreamor | mneptok, Thanks, is dmcrypt different than the luks base encryption on the raid device? | 09:01 |
| rww | mxe5: see "/msg nickserv help group" for the preferred way of doing that. | 09:01 |

| KE1HA | jcpennerson: there KB issue fixed .. Yes, and after editing what you need, run [ sudo update-grub ] | 09:07 |

| Strashniq2 | hello can someone tell me where i can find this file :xf86_ansic.h | 09:10 |
| godbod | Hello everybody, how can I create a repository of my Ubuntu packages ? | 09:10 |
| bazhang | godbod, how large a repo | 09:10 |
| Ximal | Is there a way to see what kind of errors the games I am trying to start in linux are giving my computer ? like a forced log ?a debug mode ? | 09:10 |
| maco | Strashniq2: apt-file's not coming up with anything in a search | 09:10 |
| bazhang | godbod, just your machine? aptoncd then | 09:11 |
| dougb_freebsd | Ximal: have you tried starting them in a terminal? | 09:11 |
| KE1HA | godbod: you want a download script, ot a list of files installed ? | 09:11 |
| Strashniq2 | maco I`m not using ubuntu actually but i got no other place to ask | 09:11 |
| maco | Strashniq2: yes i see you in that channel too | 09:11 |
| Ximal | hmm doug ... be back momentarily.. | 09:12 |
| bazhang | !aptoncd | godbod | 09:12 |
| ubottu | godbod: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline | 09:12 |
| Strashniq2 | well i`ve been told the driver`s sorce code needs to be update | 09:12 |
| godbod | okay, but how is it possible that only some packages appear...? not all as far as I am concerned. | 09:12 |
| bazhang | godbod, not installed via package manager then? | 09:12 |
| godbod | well...okay, I understand, thanks | 09:13 |
| sacarlson | KE1HA: I just checked your link after I just wrote this one so I added yours to it http://paste.ubuntu.com/483850/ | 09:14 |
| Ximal | Umm .. How do I start these games in the terminal if they are not even in the user bin files ? | 09:15 |
| KE1HA | sacarlson: tnx, I've got a bucn of Grub2 links, been doing script testing on mods for it. | 09:15 |
| tarzeau | Ximal: /usr/games ? | 09:16 |
| Lazy^ | dougb_freebsd: someone elses | 09:16 |
| Ximal | yep | 09:16 |
| Lazy^ | dougb_freebsd: but then it might be impossible right ? | 09:16 |
| dougb_freebsd | Lazy^: then the answer is, "you can't" | 09:16 |
| KE1HA | sacarlson: SUM does ok for basics' but lacks many of the features grub2 can do. | 09:16 |
| Strashniq2 | can someone help me make a script that starts with the X and changes my resolution to 800x600 and then to 1024 x 7** | 09:16 |
| maco | Strashniq2: just ask in ##slackware. we've established you dont use ubuntu :P | 09:17 |
| Strashniq2 | well slackware people are all dead | 09:17 |
| Strashniq2 | and slackware and ubuntu are almost identicle | 09:17 |
| sacarlson | KE1HA: SUM? is that a different bootloader? | 09:17 |
| bazhang | Strashniq2, its offtopic here. try in ##linux perhpas | 09:17 |
| KE1HA | sacarlson: and just FYI all the hard drives are looked at as (hdx,x) even thought they are sda devices, like /dev/sda would be (hd0,1) | 09:17 |
| Ximal | http://pastebin.org/774203 <--- this is the error I get when I try to start my game .. I would like to know where to start with the errors here as I am unsure what I would search for in the forums to read up on so I can fix this issue ? | 09:18 |
| maco | bazhang: im talking to Strashniq2 in ##slackware too | 09:18 |
| bazhang | maco, nice | 09:18 |
| maco | Strashniq2: i think slackware people would be offended by that second statement | 09:18 |
| Fliplip | quit | 09:18 |
| KE1HA | sacarlson: Start Up manager | 09:18 |
| Strashniq2 | maco if the true hurts them - it`s their problem | 09:18 |
| Strashniq2 | *truth | 09:18 |
| sacarlson | KE1HA: on my newer bios it calls out /dev/sda sdb some bios call out different | 09:18 |
| Ximal | slackware is NOTHING like ubuntu .. it's more bsd style man | 09:18 |
| Ximal | Slackware is closer to ARCH Linux In My Humble Opinion | 09:19 |
| Strashniq2 | what is ARCH Linux ? | 09:19 |
| bazhang | !ot | 09:19 |
| Lazy^ | dougb_freebsd: ty | 09:19 |
| ubottu | #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! | 09:19 |
| RWHR | Now that I have copied the images into the background directory, when I look in there they don't appear, is there something special I have to do now to get them to appear when I "Changebackground"? | 09:19 |
| Strashniq2 | another Distro ? | 09:19 |
| maco | Strashniq2: yes | 09:19 |
| dougb_freebsd | Lazy^: sorry that's not the answer you wanted | 09:19 |
| logan_wolf | RWHR, have you set the permissions??? | 09:20 |
| KE1HA | sacarlson: that depeds on how many drives you have, 1x sata = sda, 2x sata sdb and so on. | 09:20 |
| Ximal | http://pastebin.org/774203 can anyone tell me anything about the bottom section of this error report ? I am really dying without my unreal tournament let alone my dang linux based games | 09:20 |
| Ximal | something about to many lines for the xlib ? | 09:21 |
| sacarlson | KE1HA: I think a whole nother doc could be writen on just all the different bios versions and how they call out disks and the order of boot. | 09:21 |
| RWHR | >logan_wolf: More than likely not, I've just done the "sudo chmod 777 backgrounds" command and then copied the files across. | 09:22 |
| KE1HA | sacarlson: also, the BIOS can name the differently due to the port they are physically attached too, but the OS sees it as sda sdb sdc etc | 09:22 |
| jcpennerson | goddamn ubuntu! argh | 09:22 |
| Ximal | !languange jcpennerson | 09:22 |
| jcpennerson | sorry | 09:22 |
| rww | needs more pipe | 09:22 |
| Ximal | i spellt it wrongt .. againt | 09:23 |
| sacarlson | KE1HA: yes but to simplify for the layman I just tell them to give it the smalist number. what more can you do to make it simple? | 09:23 |
| jcpennerson | i am having quite the problem with ubuntu | 09:23 |
| KE1HA | jcpennerson: are you trying to do ? | 09:23 |
| sacarlson | KE1HA: by default grub2 installs on the smalist sda | 09:24 |
| jcpennerson | This is my problem : I have a Dell Pavillion dv9500 with nvdia graphics card. when i try to install ubuntu (or even, try the 'use ubuntu without installation' mode), it crashes 90% of the time. So i read up on it, apparently its a driver problem and i need to add the line i915.nomodeset=1 to my etc/default grub file. is this correct ? | 09:24 |
| KE1HA | sacarlson: it installs where ya tell it too /dev/sda or hda or you can selct another first part from sdc is you have 3x drives | 09:25 |
| maco | jcpennerson: you can test this by hitting any key while at the "install or run without install" screen and then going to options and setting that as part of your boot line | 09:25 |
| sacarlson | KE1HA: yes but without telling it (and that's what many people do) it goes to sda so in hopes that's what they did maybe it will fix it. | 09:26 |
| jcpennerson | yea i read that in one of the paste-bins but when i hit any key, it does take me to the command line where i can see what packages are being loaded or not but i cannot type anything there. | 09:26 |
| KE1HA | maco: IS THAT NOMODSET 1 OR 0 though I can't remember. | 09:26 |
| maco | KE1HA: 1 | 09:26 |
| KE1HA | SRI abt the caps | 09:26 |
| maco | KE1HA: well actually.... | 09:27 |
| maco | KE1HA: i think its i915.modeset=0 ... not nomodeset | 09:27 |
| KE1HA | yes, thats what I though, was 0 .. | 09:27 |
| RWHR | logan_wolf: More than likely not, I've just done the "sudo chmod 777 backgrounds" command and then copied the files across. | 09:27 |
| KE1HA | jcpennerson: also are you using the Desktop ISO or the ALT ISO ? | 09:28 |
| sacarlson | KE1HA: one of the problems I found is that if I give someone more than one solution they just get confused and don't know what to do. the problem with ubuntu and linux is there is always another way. | 09:28 |
| shawn146-ubuntu9 | oiyh | 09:28 |
| shawn146-ubuntu9 | ubuntu crashes | 09:28 |
| jcpennerson | i have no idea Ke1Ha- i downloaded ubuntu on a disk from the website and installed it | 09:28 |
| === elk is now known as elk1988 | ||
| jcpennerson | so if i go to terminal, modify the grub line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.modeset=0", it will solve all my problems ? | 09:29 |
| === Routers is now known as Rou | ||
| shawn146-ubuntu9 | whats the gtk command for installing gtk? | 09:29 |
| KE1HA | jcpennerson: another option, that scan help get you though the install, if it's a graphivs crash, is using the Alternate ISO, which is the debian-installer. | 09:29 |
| fanjabi | whenever i install or remove something i get an error: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) | 09:30 |
| jcpennerson | so how do i use desktop ISO ? | 09:30 |
| KE1HA | jcpennerson: the i915 hack solves some problems, not all. | 09:30 |
| castor | anyone else has problems with ipod touch | 09:30 |
| jcpennerson | u mean i gotto re-download ubuntu desktop installer and do this all over again ? *gasp* | 09:30 |
| castor | idevice info will show all info but ipod wont show up on desktop | 09:30 |
| KE1HA | I wish I could solve the bug between my brain and my keyboard though :-) | 09:30 |
| logan_wolf | RWHR, try sudo chmod -R 777 backgrounds | 09:31 |
| elk1988 | hello all | 09:31 |
| jcpennerson | ke1ha so do u think i should try this ? | 09:31 |
| KE1HA | jcpennerson: Yes, it's the alternate ISO , same arch, i386 or AMD64 whichever you need / want. | 09:31 |
| Strashniq2 | hello ,how can i revert to Xfree86 4.5.0 ? | 09:31 |
| elk1988 | what help my please | 09:31 |
| logan_wolf | elk1988, dont ask for help just float your query | 09:32 |
| jcpennerson | so should i re-download ubuntu desktop ISO and do this all over again or try the i915 hack ? what do u recommend ? | 09:32 |
| shawn146-ubuntu9 | o.o | 09:32 |
| bazhang | jcpennerson, no. the alternate iso | 09:32 |
| logan_wolf | elk1988, if anyone is having a solution you will get it | 09:32 |
| shawn146-ubuntu9 | terminator :D | 09:32 |
| bazhang | !alternate | jcpennerson | 09:32 |
| ubottu | jcpennerson: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 09:32 |
| KE1HA | jcpennerson: sure, you can try it, if it fails on install, then id' go the ALT-ISO route. | 09:32 |
| elk1988 | LOL | 09:33 |
| RWHR | logan_wolf: Shares have changed but I still can't see the files when I want to change the backgrounds, I think it would just be easier if I store them in a folder and point to them via the "ADD" button.. | 09:33 |
| elk1988 | can anyone help me configure ejabberd | 09:34 |
| logan_wolf | RWHR, ok that would certainly be a work around | 09:34 |
| jcpennerson | do u see my HP Pavillion vd9500 with nvdia graphics card having installation problems with the alternate iso ? does anyone know if this line of laptops work with the latest ubuntu ? | 09:34 |
| logan_wolf | RWHR, try ls -la once in background dir | 09:34 |
| logan_wolf | that will certainly tell you what the issue is | 09:35 |
| logan_wolf | :) | 09:35 |
| bazhang | jcpennerson, should do. try the alternate cd | 09:35 |

| logan_wolf | RWHR, change the ownership of the files you added to root | 09:44 |
| m4F | HelloP | 09:45 |
| logan_wolf | RWHR, you will most probably be able to view the files then | 09:45 |
| KE1HA | fanjabi: have you updated first with sudo apt-get update? | 09:45 |
| gary_inNYC | how can i get Empathy to do google voice & video chatting? | 09:45 |
| RWHR | logan_wolf: I can see the files on the CLI and also when I go there via places, just not when I "Change desktop background" | 09:46 |
| Phylock | i have created a new user, but he has no sound(cant see the sound card), he is added to the sound group is there anything else i can check/have to do?? | 09:46 |

| shawn146-ubuntu9 | and is their an address bar for nautilus | 09:53 |
| mathk | hi | 09:53 |
| KE1HA | fanjabi: aside form forcing the package ( which is normally not a good idea) then, update and try reinstall again, not sure where the issue could be. you could try cd /var/lib/dpkg/info nd look for any bad packages and remove them, but that can be dangerous. | 09:53 |
| sacarlson | fanjabi: I had that problem before I don't recall what application it was I had to remove it or reinstall it to fix. | 09:53 |

| FIGHTER` | Hi, is it possible to create a new user account that has access to reload nginx? | 10:38 |
| madf0x | ReadPlease yes? no? do you think you could try a networked install? like connecting to a network and installing from another comp? | 10:38 |
| ReadPlease | I should put context in. I'm kind of new. Not a CIS major or anything. I'm really just trying to confirm this because I heard it from a friend. I think Wubi is a great option, but is there a huge--like 99.9%--risk of watching my harddrive corrupt? | 10:38 |
| sacarlson | nano_: are you running a 64bit system? | 10:39 |
| ReadPlease | madf0x, I don't have another computer. | 10:39 |

| ReadPlease | :) | 10:39 |
| nano_ | yes | 10:39 |
| sacarlson | nano_: then I guess you can install the 32bit libs | 10:39 |

| DJNomad | hi all I need a walkthrough on how to install a program (minitube) from the archive | 10:40 |
| sacarlson | nano_: you would have to link them into your compile. but why don't we already have a fortran compiler? | 10:40 |
| madf0x | ReadPlease plus i'd probably have to mess with a bunch of port forwarding and crap x.x | 10:40 |

| DJNomad | KE1HA, I am on a ancient system is chromium light weight? | 10:48 |
| KE1HA | DJNomad: yes. | 10:48 |
| DJNomad | I am kinda fond of google toolbar and I dont think it is on chromium | 10:48 |
| DJNomad | although much of the things I like about the toolbar are on chromium | 10:48 |

| DJNomad | I have been bouncing back and forth between linux and windoz and being a hastle setting up | 10:49 |
| KE1HA | :-) no worries, works well on my netbook, and it's as powerful as a burned out light bulb. | 10:49 |

| karlo | where I can modify options so screen saver can't run wail I'm watching flash (on youtube or page like that) ? | 10:50 |
| kuttan_ | Helloo | 10:51 |
| intok | Weird networking issue, I can get on any chat network, pings are successful, no packet loss, typical latency, but firefox and seamonkey time out on any site unless I am currently pinging it, stuff loaded from other servers times out as well. if I download something from the repos the file downloads at normal speed. Tested with 2 different modems | 10:51 |
| erUSUL | FIGHTER`: you can tweak sudoers so it have to use password or not. is NOPASSWD keyword or some such | 10:51 |
| madf0x | intok sounds like something is f0ing with your outgoing port 80 | 10:51 |
| DJNomad | karlo good question my "movie player" needs to keep my screensaver from activation as well | 10:51 |
| presario | karlo u can go to system/prefrences/screensaver | 10:51 |
| minimec | DJNomad: You can have a working machine. I would say xubuntu or ubuntu with fluxboe or e17 would do... | 10:52 |

| madf0x | intok check your gateway and see if anything is interfering with http I messed with a friend once by blocking access for a few minutes :) | 10:52 |
| KE1HA | DJNomad: yeah, thats' pretty lite, FF I'd stay away from them. Epiphany is another option for a browser. | 10:52 |
| DJNomad | I play a facebook game nearly all the time so that factors into it aswell,chromium seemed laggier in it | 10:53 |
| acid | i did fsck but i still get the error message "failed to open /var/webmin/miniserv.error : Read-only file system " | 10:53 |
| erUSUL | FIGHTER`: found an example line --> « your_user_here ALL=(root)NOPASSWD:/etc/init.d/nginx restart » | 10:53 |
| DJNomad | also another question ...is anyone familiar with conduits toolbar where you can make your own ? | 10:54 |
| acid | i did fsck but i still get the error message "failed to open /var/webmin/miniserv.error : Read-only file system " | 10:54 |
| erUSUL | FIGHTER`: check with docs. to edit sudoers use « visudo » | 10:54 |

| erUSUL | FIGHTER`: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1132821 | 10:54 |
| KE1HA | DJNomad: just guess, I'd say, Epiphany, then Chromium, then FF in weights. | 10:54 |
| acid | anyone has any idea? | 10:54 |
| DJNomad | anyway using the toolbar for some reason the "radio player" part of it does not show up using linux | 10:54 |
| pie_time | how does the "purge rm" command work? i cant seem to get it working | 10:54 |
| presario | what are u trying to purge or remove pie_time | 10:55 |
| DJNomad | I am assuming there is a plugin I need to get it to work but I do not know what to get | 10:55 |
| murlidhar | pie_time: sudo aptitude purge <package name> ? | 10:55 |
| KE1HA | DJNomad: plug-in for which one ? | 10:55 |
| presario | i concur with murlidhar pie_time | 10:55 |
| DJNomad | KE1HA, the toolbar is a ie and firefox only toolbar | 10:56 |
| presario | the rm is a complete different command eg sudo rm filename | 10:56 |
| DJNomad | so firefox | 10:56 |
| KE1HA | DJNomad: ahh ok, and it's a radio plug-in / extension ? | 10:56 |
| elliot98 | how do get more info about the cdrom I am using? | 10:57 |

| levene | I know I can convert jpg files to a pdf file with convert -compress jpeg *.jpg output.pdf but that seems to recompress the jpeg files, which I guess is lossy and slow. Is there a way to convert jpeg files to pdf without recompressing them? | 11:27 |

| eino | okay | 12:29 |
| eino | sacarlson do I need X to be running in order to use that? | 12:29 |
| sacarlson | eino: well nothing is too dificult if you know how to do it. this is just my prefered method | 12:29 |
| Dr_Willis | You could just start a command from /etc/rc.local | 12:29 |

| SPM_ | eino: ok and have you symlink /etc/rc2.d/S20<scriptname> ? | 12:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Ubuntu uses Upstart these days. the 'rc.d' (sysv) method is slowly getting phased out. | 12:30 |
| sacarlson | eino: if not then no you don't need xserver to be running | 12:30 |
| SPM_ | then it's better run program with xsession or similar.. | 12:31 |
| Dr_Willis | !autostart | 12:31 |

| eino | sacarlson: no it is not, ok | 12:31 |
| eino | SPM_ no, what is that? | 12:31 |
| sacarlson | SPM_: seems some of the startup sequence has moved from /etc/init.d to /etc/init with some if then stuff added. I don't have a full understanding of it yet. | 12:31 |

| Dr_Willis | sacarlson: what remanes of /etc/init.d is actually (for the most part) upstart scripts that just look like the old sysv system. Upstart is the way ubuntu is heading | 12:32 |
| SPM_ | sacarlson: hmm, I now tried update-rc.d command and it only create symlinks in rcX.d... | 12:32 |
| eino | oh yea and I'm using the 9.04 version | 12:32 |
| eino | if that changes anything | 12:32 |
| === manu is now known as Guest31470 | ||
| sacarlson | SPM_: I think they are like running parts of both upstart and sysv but at some point I think it will all be upstart so you might be better off moving to cron that I guess might continue to be supported. | 12:33 |

| sacarlson | cool thing with crontab is you can start your program at boot without being a super user. | 12:36 |
| Dr_Willis | sacarlson: rc.local is ran as root.. at boot. | 12:36 |
| Dr_Willis | starting things at 'boot' via crontab seems.. awkward | 12:36 |
| eino | Dr_Willis: can I put "screen rtorrent&" before the last line and it'll work? | 12:36 |
| Dr_Willis | eino: proberly. Try it and see.. | 12:37 |
| sacarlson | Dr_Willis: don't you need to be a supper user to modify the contents of rc.local then? | 12:37 |
| eino | okay :P | 12:37 |
| Dr_Willis | eino: you mey need to read up on the screen docs. | 12:37 |
| SPM_ | sacarlson: for running cron jobs as root you have to be root too... I think | 12:37 |
| Dr_Willis | sacarlson: rc.local is ran when the system boots befor users login. You could set up a command to run an app as a user if you wanted.. it does Not run apps at set time.. just once at bootup. | 12:38 |
| sacarlson | SPM_: yes true but any user can have a cron that he can modify without becoming root that's all I'm saying. | 12:38 |
| sacarlson | Dr_Willis: user cron is also started before users login but never require supper user to modify or start them. | 12:39 |
| SPM_ | sacarlson: yes... but if user has root account on his computer, is maybe better to use rc.local or similar.. | 12:39 |

| mstacey | need help with lock screen | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | eino: then you need to use a proper command and read up on screen | 12:40 |
| eino | screen -r nor screen -rd nor sudo * those wont work | 12:40 |
| eino | what do you mean proper? | 12:40 |
| SPM_ | eino: you have to type screen -r as root | 12:40 |
| SPM_ | oh | 12:40 |
| eino | SPM_ I did | 12:40 |
| SPM_ | with sudo, ok.. | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | eino: figure out how to do it from a terminal. i do Not think 'screen whatever' runs whatever in screen.. try it from a terminal | 12:41 |
| mstacey | when the screen is locked the dialog that pops up has an "unlock" button that bypasses entry of the login | 12:41 |
| sacarlson | SPM_: they can both do almost the same thing if the user that has the cron has sudo rights he too can start a root event. not saying it's wrong to do it your way just providing another way that you never require to be root. | 12:41 |
| eino | Dr_Willis: if I type screen rtorrent its starts up fine | 12:41 |

| coz_ | doorknob, which video card do you have? | 12:45 |
| Batch | Although I have no idea how to fix it | 12:46 |

| jrib | eino: no. | 12:46 |
| eino | okay | 12:46 |
| eino | hmph | 12:46 |
| Dr_Willis | eino: you do realize that rc.lcoal is getting ran as root.. so your torrent app is getting ran as root. this may not be what you want | 12:46 |
| Dr_Willis | rc.local has nothing to do with crontab | 12:46 |

| Batch | My wireless decides to deauthenticate straight away, Started happening out of the blue. Error that I think is causing it is; wlan0: deauthenticating from XXXXX by local choice (reason=3) | 12:52 |
| Ximal | sorry jrib | 12:52 |
| jrib | Ximal: how did you turn the monitors on and off? Using a gui tool? Anyway, I don't think the dpkg configure script does much nowadays. But by default xorg.conf should be empty or even non-existent. Try that. Also you can pass some switch to Xorg to generate some kind of configuration file. I'd try just deleting xorg.conf for starters | 12:53 |

| Batch | forlz. | 12:55 |
| madf0x | pranay, just asking why festival(never used it mind you, not a rhetoric question)? Cause if you dont NEED it you can avoid the problem :) | 12:55 |
| Belgicano | weird, could it heve been some "appending" of data due to positionning of objects? | 12:56 |
| sipior | e3c333: yes, several. postfix is quite capable, for example. | 12:56 |

| coz_ | stacken, sorry i didnt see your question | 13:02 |
| levene | Dr_Willis: although this seems not to be the issue. it's a download from archive.canonical.com that files when the script tries to fetch it, but I can access it with wget from the same machine | 13:02 |
| madf0x | levene well if it says its not installed then the obvious answer is to install it instead of --reinstall :) | 13:02 |

I have had the same problem with lucid from day one... also on lucid edubuntu.. synaptic will freeze the system... text console...as root... killall synaptic ...log in open software sources first then open synaptic for it to work | 14:06 |

| rsv | when i try rsync, it just lists the file, it wont download it | 14:07 |
| aeon-ltd | coz_: hdd full? | 14:08 |
| coz_ | aeon-ltd, no not even close | 14:08 |
| coz_ | i did find a report on ubuntu forums just now | 14:08 |
| sipior | coz_: you get the console by logging in remotely, or via alt-f1? | 14:08 |
| sipior | ctrl-alt-f1, rather. | 14:09 |
| UndiFineD | coz_, you may want to remove the *.bin files from /var/cache/apt, they will be rebuild on update | 14:09 |
| A71KR117 | coz_, try emptying out the cache, in the console type this in: sudo apt-get clean | 14:09 |
| coz_ | sipior, well I have to use ctrl+alt+F1 after the system freezes | 14:09 |
| sipior | coz_: so the system doesn't actually freeze... | 14:09 |

| RainRain | could someone explain what launchers are - i have tried making a launcher on the desktop to both a script and a folder(location) and neither work at all | 14:12 |
| sipior | Routers: check out the "-u" switch to killall | 14:13 |
| WinstonSmith | hi ppl | 14:13 |
| aeon-ltd | RainRain: launchers are the equivalent of shortcuts to apps | 14:14 |
| A71KR117 | RainRain: a launcher is like a shortcut on windows. Right click on the menu bar (the one with apps, places, system) and click new launcher. | 14:14 |
| sacarlson | Routers: try this and see if it works sudo pkill -u username | 14:14 |
| RainRain | can i not just put a launcher on the desktop ? | 14:15 |
| A71KR117 | RainRain: oops, click edit menu, then click new launcher | 14:15 |
| RainRain | i was right click on dtop >> add new launcher >> fill in the bits = nothing happened | 14:15 |
| A71KR117 | RainRain: you can right click on it in the menu and then click add launcher to desktop | 14:15 |
| RainRain | which menu again | 14:16 |
| Routers | sacarlson : its says invalid passwd sudo for me | 14:16 |
| A71KR117 | RainRain: just right click on any | 14:17 |
| sacarlson | Routers: what does that mean you don't have sudo privliges? | 14:17 |
| Routers | i must root first ? | 14:17 |
| A71KR117 | sacarlson: Routers: maybe you misspelled the password | 14:17 |
| jinxx | Ubuntu keeps breaking my triple-boot configuration (Sabayon, Fedora, Ubuntu) -- currently Ubuntu is only recognizing Fedora and doesn't add Sabayon to grub. Is there some way to fix this automatically or do I have to keep modifying my grub.cfg every time ubuntu updates it? | 14:18 |
| RainRain | A71KR117: doesnt work --- the option comes up but nothing happens | 14:18 |
| sacarlson | Routers: no but your user must be in the sudoers list and yes maybe you misspelled your password | 14:18 |
| A71KR117 | RainRain: what doesnt work? | 14:18 |
| Routers | sudo pkill -u routers <- like this rite ? | 14:18 |
| RainRain | add this launcher to panel works but to desktop just does nothing | 14:18 |
| sacarlson | Routers: looks right to me | 14:18 |
| sacarlson | Routers: can you sudo ls | 14:19 |
| Routers | wait pls | 14:19 |
| RainRain | A71KR117: yes - weird right clicking and then clicking add this launcher to dtop literally does nothing for some reason --- i did an update earlier and need a restart maybe that could be the problem | 14:19 |
| A71KR117 | RainRain: Hit ALT-F2 and paste this in: gconftool-2 --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop --type bool 1 | 14:20 |
| coz_ | UndiFineD, that may have worked at least for now ... i will continue to test this though ... | 14:20 |

| A71KR117 | Routers: the password isn't suppose to show up for security reasons | 14:21 |
| tcha | hi | 14:21 |

| lap_dragon | can you give me the command to install it? is it sudo apt-get install openoffice ? | 14:23 |
| aeon-ltd | lap_dragon: should be might be open-office though | 14:23 |
| lap_dragon | hmm then I am thinking of something else. | 14:23 |
| A71KR117 | RainRain: did it work? | 14:23 |
| Pici | lap_dragon: the package name is openoffice.org | 14:23 |
| lap_dragon | What is the free program that is just like microsoft word? | 14:24 |
| Pici | lap_dragon: Thats it. | 14:24 |
| lap_dragon | isnt it openoffice writer? | 14:24 |
| lap_dragon | ok | 14:24 |
| aeon-ltd | lap_dragon: open office writer | 14:24 |

| aeon-ltd | lap_dragon: speakers built in to what? | 14:34 |

| aeon-ltd | lap_dragon: no. (short answer) without modding | 14:35 |
| Mimo | sacarlson: but i just heard that ext3 will do as well cause if u share over samba the underlying partition type does not matter | 14:35 |
| theslob | lap_dragon: its only 2 wires so you don't need a diagram | 14:36 |
| aeon-ltd | lap_dragon: experimental but you could use a 3.5mm jack going out of the usb audio card to the input jack of your laptop then output using built in speakers(although imo built in speaker suck for notebooks) | 14:36 |
| sacarlson | Mimo: oh I thought you needed windows support, yes ext3 would be better if you just want ubuntu to access it. | 14:36 |
| aeon-ltd | lap_dragon: kind of a dirty workaround though | 14:36 |
| Mimo | well i use win7 and have a fileserver (ubuntu) | 14:36 |
| theslob | aeon-ltd: danger, might damage internal audio or both | 14:37 |
| Mimo | so still need ntfs? | 14:37 |
| aeon-ltd | Mimo: does windows need to mount it? | 14:37 |
| sacarlson | Mimo: oh I see, ya ext3 then is better | 14:37 |

| pie_time | what is the easiest method for filesharing in a LAN between ubuntu computers? | 14:43 |
| aeon-ltd | pie_time: samba, nfs | 14:44 |
| pie_time | aeon-ltd, someone told me it was sshfs | 14:44 |
| pie_time | and that it was safer | 14:44 |
| WinstonSmith | tcha, try this : gconftool-2 --set --type boolean /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled true | 14:44 |
| Karen_m | samba | 14:44 |
| aeon-ltd | pie_time: if you've got a firewall they're pretty much the same, yeah ssh keys might be slightly safer but not significantly better | 14:45 |
| jrib | pie_time: you asked "easiest" not "most secure", do you need the transfer to be encrypted on your local network? | 14:46 |
| pie_time | jrib, bo | 14:46 |
| aeon-ltd | bo? | 14:46 |
| pie_time | jrib, no | 14:46 |
| aeon-ltd | lawl :) | 14:46 |
| jrib | pie_time: then use samba or nfs as aeon-ltd suggested. You can use samba by just right clicking on a directory in nautilus and sharing it | 14:47 |

| sacarlson | Sid123: i Can't remember but it seems at install of mysql it requires you to enter a admin user and or password. if you don't remember I think I might just reinstall mysql. there must be other ways if you forget the password. I'm just not sure | 14:59 |

| mandravel | ok | 15:19 |
| switch10_ | mandravel: just passwd mandravel | 15:19 |

| duffydack | Agionz, odd.. are you running the installer from a live session (actually logged into gnome with the live user) or just the installer only | 15:49 |
| sacarlson | jellow: kind of a big file | 15:50 |
| fidelix | jrib, this has to be on PM. Its not general ubuntu help. I wont take more than 30 seconds, please! | 15:50 |

| Azerus | it is a usb wifi | 15:50 |
| Viglite | X_Tech__: ls tmp,,,hold on ,that looks tooooo easy | 15:50 |
| jrib | fidelix: this channel is for ubuntu support only please | 15:50 |
| Agionz | duffydack, I'm at the moment on the live user. But I've tried the pure installer too. | 15:50 |
| fidelix | jrib, ok. Thanks for nothing. | 15:50 |
| duffydack | Agionz, is this 10.04.1 or the older release | 15:51 |

| Agionz | duffydack, 10.04 it says on the disc. Other ubuntus have worked, but 10.04 hasn't | 15:51 |
| sacarlson | jellow: I accepted but it's not coming in at all zero bytes so far. | 15:51 |
| Viglite | X_Tech__: Here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto | 15:52 |
| X_Tech__ | Oh Sorry | 15:52 |
| Azerus | so is there anyway to patch the d-link dwa 110 driver to support injection? | 15:52 |
| Viglite | X_Tech__: There are a few ways, that Apt page shows one way, | 15:52 |
| duffydack | Agionz, when did you download the iso | 15:52 |
| Agionz | it came with linux magazine I suppose. | 15:53 |
| Agionz | July, it says. | 15:53 |
| slayton | I currently am recording video from a old camera using a dvd player that records to disk, off of a coax input.

| ayam_jago | helo, ive problem with my firefox @ ubuntu 10.04 | 15:53 |
| ayam_jago | it wouldnt start | 15:53 |
| sacarlson | jellow jellow_ so I guess it's broken I accepted the short 13 byte also zero movement | 15:53 |
| ayam_jago | but if run from terminal by $sudo /etc/bin/firefox it works fine | 15:53 |
| X_Tech__ | oK... | 15:54 |
| duffydack | Agionz, right, well there is a newer release (10.04.1) so I`d try that.. means downloadin the iso and burning it to cd or usb tho. | 15:54 |
| cousteau | ayam_jago: the problem is that you have run a graphical app using sudo, that's not save | 15:54 |
| cousteau | safe | 15:54 |
| duffydack | Agionz, it will also save you getting a LOT of updates after installing :) | 15:54 |
| Agionz | duffydack, I tried usb but it didn't start.. Well, I guess I have to get a dvd :D | 15:54 |
| ayam_jago | cousteau, how do i fix this firefox? | 15:54 |
| cousteau | maybe you can do something like sudo chown -R youruser:youruser firefox-config-folder | 15:54 |
| jellow | sacarlson: Yes very possible or a firewall issue | 15:55 |
| duffydack | Agionz, a cd is enough | 15:55 |
| duffydack | Agionz, what did you use to make the usb | 15:55 |
| sacarlson | jellow: yes I just fully opened my firewall but the only thing I now I filter is samba | 15:55 |
| Viglite | slayton: Have you looked at Pitivi? | 15:55 |
| cousteau | sudo chown -R youruser:youruser /home/youruser/.mozilla | 15:56 |
| cousteau | ayam_jago: ^^ | 15:56 |
| Agionz | duffydack, I just moved the files to usb drive.. It probably doesn't work like that, does it? :D | 15:56 |
| duffydack | Agionz, nope. | 15:56 |

| ayam_jago | cousteau, thanks it works now | 15:57 |
| duffydack | Agionz, try unetbootin | 15:57 |
| sacarlson | jellow: ok try that 13 byte one again. I have wireshark running to see what it tries to do. | 15:57 |
| jellow | sacarlson: ok ill send again | 15:57 |
| Agionz | duffydack, this is a different computer though.. | 15:57 |

| X_Tech__ | how can I work in terminals....some links or tips | 15:58 |
| Azerus | guys in the ubuntu forum the dwa-110 exists and works fine but i dnt know how to configure it please advise | 15:58 |
| duffydack | Agionz, umm.. there is no unetbootin for mac. | 15:58 |
| duffydack | Agionz, do you have another windows/linux system? | 15:58 |
| SPM_ | fabi_an_: I don't know if it printing output... But if it is working, it should create devices under /dev/mapper/ | 15:58 |
| Agionz | duffydack, did, until I remove it just recently. | 15:58 |

| Agionz | viglite, duffydack, thanks to you both, I'll try that out. | 16:01 |
| duffydack | Viglite, it says on there "There is an unresolved issue in that you cannot create a bootable USB stick from within Mac OSX. You must create the stick in Linux or Windows." is that still a problem | 16:02 |
| sacarlson | gasull: well it's easy to setup with just your personal home dir encrypted. just create a new account that's encrypted. on 10.04 it's built in | 16:02 |
| avis | if i run windows 7 under is it virtualbox would i be able to use that magicjack applicance within lucid ? | 16:03 |
| Viglite | duffydack: I think is resolved in 10, but the info and other data needed is linked on that official page. | 16:03 |
| sacarlson | gasull: if you want to change the encryption method I guess you can do that. but I would setup a secound account to encrypt and keep a usable unencrypted account for service and repair. | 16:03 |
| duffydack | Viglite, is there a "dd" for mac? | 16:03 |
| duffydack | could just use that, it works for ubuntu isos 9.10 and later as i recall. | 16:04 |

Do I add the users to the www-data group, or do i make a new goup that ows the www folder and add www-data to it? | 16:13 |
| cousteau | Viglite: was that for slayton? | 16:13 |
| gary_inNYC | i installed a newer version of empathy from ppa and now it's no longer in the unified message indicator applet. what can i do to put it back? | 16:13 |
| Viglite | cousteau: No, you asked about Flash Plugin, you can do that Adobe 10 or use the gstreamer from the 'ugly' or 'bad' set, see wich one works best with your hardware. | 16:14 |
| slayton | Viglite, thanks for the heads up on VLC I thought it was just a player | 16:14 |

| FalsAlarm | only port 88 and my ssh port are open currently and I'm wondering if I should ever apt upgrade on it, ever? | 16:19 |
| sacarlson | gasull: it can do eather but I setup so that is encrypted /home/myuser dir | 16:19 |
| guntbert | FalsAlarm: you are probably asking about "sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade" or (IMO better) "sudo aptitude update and sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" , I'd say run the "update" part once a week and look what it is offering, when you feel comfortable do the "upgrade/safe-upgrade" | 16:20 |

| x-x---x- | Anyone know how to take a video stream (udp,rtp,rtsp, or even http) and save it to disc in linux (ubuntu 10.04) in specified file chunks (size or length) without interupting the video stream (vlc doesn't work) | 16:39 |
| sacarlson | jellow: and seeing that security is not needed you could quickly setup a nonencrypted vpn link | 16:39 |
| Dug__ | any ideas on whats wrong ? :( | 16:39 |
| duffydack | Dug__, hmm, try sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel | 16:40 |
| Dug__ | ok | 16:40 |
| WinstonSmith | sudo service mysqld status or so | 16:40 |
| gasull | TerrenceKJ: you should be more explicit and post the error somewhere, like dpaste.com | 16:41 |
| FalsAlarm | how to see the full output of top linux command, it's too much for screen? | 16:41 |

| blink | hi. i have too much free swap memory. my system uses high amounts of ram. how can i increase my rams and decrease my swap? i did 'free -m' in the terminal firstly. | 16:46 |
| Dug__ | duffydack, here you go http://pastebin.com/bfHFU3sE | 16:46 |
| jbwiv_ | is anyone aware of a tool that lets you watch the network connections (and their content) opened by a particular process? I know lsof will list the connections, but i need something that will list and also allow inspect of the packets | 16:46 |
| FalsAlarm | how can i see the full output of top command, then i can just browse it | 16:46 |
| WinstonSmith | blink, u want to use all ur memory and no swap...swap just slows things down | 16:46 |
| jellow | jbwiv_: wireshark listening on localhost ? | 16:47 |
| blink | WinstonSmith: yeah i got 0.98GB ram and 2.86 swap. it would be extremely good if i switched both amount. | 16:47 |
| jbwiv_ | jellow, but can wireshark trace all connections initiated by a particular process id? | 16:47 |
| jellow | jbwiv_: Don't think so :P | 16:48 |
| WinstonSmith | blink, u cant switch that since ur amount of ram is physical.... what exactly are u trying to accomplish? | 16:48 |
| duffydack | Dug__, run alsamixer from terminal | 16:49 |
| Dug__ | ok | 16:49 |
| WinstonSmith | blink, and linux will try to use all ram there is normally also for the disk cache | 16:49 |
| seekwill | blink: Paste the output of free -m | 16:49 |
| sacarlson | jbwiv_: I guess you would need to look at it with two peaces of software, wireshark for the content, another to find the process to find the port it used that you will watch from wireshark. | 16:49 |
| blink | WinstonSmith: i am assuming that i can't increase my rams without installing a new chip, so what am thinking of is to take certain amount of my swap and put use it for ram | 16:49 |
| Dug__ | im guessing i type in "alsamixer" if so im getting "cannot open mixer: No such file or directory" whcih is weird becuase it was working the other day :s | 16:50 |
| Pici | blink: Thats what swap is though.... | 16:50 |
| WinstonSmith | blink, no the system handles that for u.... | 16:50 |
| seekwill | lol | 16:50 |
| blink | total used free shared buffers cached | 16:50 |
| blink | Mem: 1000 712 288 0 31 278 | 16:50 |
| blink | -/+ buffers/cache: 401 598 | 16:50 |

| FloodBot3 | blink: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 16:50 |
| Diverdude | what command can i write to see the version of an installed program | 16:50 |
| Dug__ | even going Applications, Sound&Video and trying to open the gui version of alsamixer wont work :s | 16:50 |
| seekwill | blink: Basically, the 401 number is your "magic" number. That's how much RAM you are really using | 16:51 |
| guntbert | blink: swap space is on the HD | 16:51 |
| delinquentme | So im trying to join a channel in IRC ... when i connect up i get this error: #web :Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services .... how do i "identify" with services??? | 16:51 |

| ChogyDan | Diverdude: apt-cache policy <package> | 16:51 |
| Dug__ | you think i need to reinstall gnome alsamixer ? :s | 16:51 |
| sacarlson | jbwiv_: and the other software needed to find the process ID to port would be sudo netstat -pant | 16:51 |
| blink | seekwill: guntbert: WinstonSmith: Pici: so.. is there a way to accomplish what i really want? | 16:51 |
| WinstonSmith | Diverdude, try programname --help? | 16:52 |
| guntbert | blink: buy more RAM | 16:52 |
| seekwill | blink: You don't know what you really want :) Your system is fine. | 16:52 |
| delinquentme | Pici ... how do i do that for a specific channel?? for example #web | 16:52 |
| duffydack | Dug__, I`m stumped. try sudo /sbin/alsa force-reload | 16:52 |
| Pici | blink: I think you may be confused as to what swap actually is. Take a gander at 11:44:16 <hiku> LzrdKing: atleast my wife loved it anyway | 16:52 |
| Dug__ | ok | 16:52 |
| blink | seekwill: heard if you had more ram your system will run faster. | 16:52 |
| Diverdude | none of those worked | 16:52 |
| Pici | blink: argh, wrong paste... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq | 16:52 |
| Diverdude | ChogyDan, i didnt install it using packet manager | 16:53 |
| seekwill | blink: It will. So you have to buy more RAM, not swap | 16:53 |
| duffydack | Dug__, and try alsamixer again. if not, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-base | 16:53 |
| Dug__ | i just get a ton of warnings :s | 16:53 |
| Pici | delinquentme: You don't. you register/identify for the whole irc network. | 16:53 |
| blink | seekwill: i am saying that i want to reduce swap if possible | 16:53 |
| seekwill | blink: It'll run faster depending if you need it. So far, you don't seem to be pushing your system very hard (you're not using swap) | 16:53 |
| WinstonSmith | Diverdude, try programname --help? | 16:53 |
| seekwill | blink: You're not really using it though... | 16:53 |
| Dug__ | and alsamixer still wont open lol, ill try the dpkg thing then | 16:53 |
| Falcz | Hey, ubuntu refuses to boot and is giving an error. Any help would be much appreciated :) | 16:53 |
| gary_inNYC | blink: it won't run "faster" rather more efficiently by enabling you to run more applications and programs simultaneously without relying on slow swap | 16:53 |
| blink | seekwill: assuming i need more ram, i figured that i take some from swap and put it in ram | 16:54 |
| delinquentme | Pici, im already registered :D | 16:54 |
| WinstonSmith | !ask | 16:54 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 16:54 |

| ubottu | constantin_mike: 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. :-) | 17:23 |
| vingian | gasull: not using gnome - using lxde - however already checked gnome-power-preferences | 17:23 |

| duffydack | Dug_, and put these, 1 per line snd_hda_codec_si3054 snd_hda_codec_realtek snd_hda_intel | 17:32 |
| IdleOne | ubun00b: Do the drivers provided by Ubuntu work ? | 17:32 |
| ubun00b | these startup drivers work ok, but don't provide 3D or animations in GUI, so it says | 17:32 |
| gasull | vingian: sorry, I don't know | 17:32 |
| duffydack | Dug_, reboot | 17:32 |
| ikonia | ubun00b: so what says | 17:33 |
| Dug_ | ok in terminal "edit /etc/modules" or go to the actual location myself and edit ? | 17:33 |
| ubun00b | The ubuntu drivers list that shows "this driver is not activated" and Activate button | 17:33 |
| duffydack | Dug_, gksu gedit /etc/modules | 17:33 |
| ubun00b | but it's running anyway | 17:33 |
| Dug_ | ok | 17:33 |
| ikonia | ubun00b: it's not | 17:33 |
| ikonia | ubun00b: if it's not active, it's not using the nvidia driver | 17:33 |
| mori64 | when i run pidgin it doesn't active up to i deleted my account and add new account ! what can i do? | 17:33 |
| ikonia | ubun00b: I'll ask 1 more time | 17:33 |

| ubun00b | i'll try to refind the tool I first encountered last night on 1st use of Ubuntu Lucid | 17:34 |
| ikonia | ubun00b: once you click activate, you'll need to reboot | 17:34 |
| ikonia | ubun00b: once you've rebooted, you need to check using the same tool if the driver is now marked as "Active" | 17:34 |
| Dug_ | duffydack you mind i pastebin what i have to you before i save it and reboot ? just incase it screws up on me if i done it wrong :P | 17:34 |
| IdleOne | ikonia: in the Hardware Drivers it says that Ubuntu does not provide support for those drivers ( can't update them) | 17:35 |
| mcl0vin | howdy folks, have a n00be question here, so i am running 9.10 on my mini hp notebook and i want to change it to remix..is there a way i can do this without loosing my data ? | 17:35 |
| IdleOne | ikonia: I think he is misunderstanding what that means exactly | 17:35 |
| ikonia | IdleOne: what ? | 17:35 |
| ubun00b | it was the Hardware Drivers icon in top upper right bar that I first opened to install drivers when Gnome desktop first loaded from Live USB flash drive. | 17:35 |
| duffydack | k | 17:35 |
| ikonia | ubun00b: are you using a livecd ? | 17:35 |
| ubun00b | OK, this a.m. I have totally rebooted and autologged in as live user (default) and will recheck the tool | 17:36 |
| Dug_ | ok here you go duffydack http://pastebin.com/5kgRtKF6 | 17:36 |
| duffydack | Dug_, just 1 more thing. ls -al /lib/modules/2.6.32-24-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda/ is there an sis one there? | 17:36 |
| Dug_ | ok ill check | 17:36 |
| ubun00b | Live USB thumbdrive boot that works nicely, created with pendrive | 17:36 |
| ikonia | ubun00b: ok - you won't be able to do that | 17:36 |
| duffydack | Dug_, your other pastebins are saying the files arent there or something else... | 17:36 |
| IdleOne | ikonia: when you use the hardware drivers tool there is a "warning" about the drivers being supported by nvidia and not by Canonical or something to that effect. I don't remember the exact wording | 17:36 |
| ubun00b | do what exactly? | 17:36 |
| Dug_ | oh :s | 17:36 |
| ikonia | ubun00b: the reason is, to activeate the propriatary drivers, you need to reboot, but the livecd is not stateful, so it won't allow that | 17:36 |
| duffydack | Dug_, is snd-hda-codec-si3054.ko or snd-hda-intel there? | 17:37 |
| ubun00b | so since I now love Ubuntu/linux I should proceed with a real install to HDD of Lucid LTS? | 17:37 |
| Dug_ | hmm | 17:37 |
| IdleOne | ubun00b: yes :) | 17:37 |
| ubun00b | will that allow the proprietary nvidia drivers to run & persist? | 17:37 |
| IdleOne | yes | 17:37 |
| Dr_Willis | ubun00b: Thats how it normally works. | 17:37 |
| Dug_ | snd-hda-codec-si3054.ko is there | 17:38 |
| ubun00b | Nokay guys thanks loads, I can't wait to finally ditch Windoze Pista after I learn this for 1 week. | 17:38 |
| Dr_Willis | ubun00b: you can set up a persistant-save file on a usb 'pendrive' live type install and get them working. but a 'real' install is thebest way | 17:38 |
| mcl0vin | Dr_Willis: will you be able to help me please | 17:38 |
| Dug_ | and so is snd-hda-intel but it has .ko at the end so snd-hda-intel.ko | 17:39 |
| Dug_ | is that good or ? | 17:39 |
| ikonia | ubun00b: it's called "windows Vista" please use it's proper name rather than stupid attempts to be derogatory | 17:39 |
| duffydack | Dug_, pastebin cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf | 17:39 |

| Dug_ | ok | 17:46 |

| Dug_ | fter saving | 17:46 |

| WinstonSmith | mcl0vin it will install on top | 17:57 |
| Dug_ | so is that good or ? | 17:58 |
| duffydack | Dug_, ok.. it might be possible to copy the good files to the bad kernels files.. a dirty fix but might work. or just stick with the old kernel.. | 17:59 |
| Dug_ | hmm i think id like to lay it safe and stick with the older kernel for a while and maybe try update when a newer kernel comes out | 18:00 |

| Migi32 | hey everyone, can I "export" the packages I have installed on this ubuntu to another? | 18:05 |
| preetam | please help my blueZ deamon is not starting so unable to run blueman | 18:05 |
| IdleOne | !clone | Migi32 | 18:05 |
| ubottu | Migi32: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 18:05 |
| ikonia | ubun00b: are you running from a proper install now ? | 18:05 |
| duffydack | Dug_, just sayin. when did you install ubuntu | 18:05 |
| Dug_ | erm cant quite remember think it was like begining of this month | 18:05 |
| Dug_ | or atleast 2 weeks ago | 18:05 |
| chetnick | ubun00b: try reinstalling nvidia-settings, It looks like it's not installed. | 18:06 |
| ubun00b | no, the live usb but it seems to have persisted the drivers install from earlier after rebooting. | 18:06 |
| Dug_ | but i havent used this laptop that much since installing ubuntu tbh | 18:06 |
| ubun00b | yes, it's not, but all I did was the recommended hardware drivers tool activation then reboot, how would i reinstall the nvidia-settings child process? | 18:07 |
| timewriter | hi | 18:07 |
| Migi32 | IdleOne, sorry I'd like to export the full packages, not just a list of their names | 18:07 |
| timewriter | anyone can help me with a display issue ? | 18:07 |
| chetnick | ubun00b: I'm not on Ubuntu now, but I belive apt-get install nvidia-settings would do it. | 18:07 |
| guest | does anybody know how to promote an idea to 'Ideas in development' in ideatorrent? | 18:07 |
| duffydack | Dug_, just wondering if reinstalling that newer kernel might fix it.. | 18:07 |
| IdleOne | Migi32: doing it that way you would also have to export the package dependencies...lots of packages but see !aptoncd | 18:08 |
| Dug_ | hmm | 18:08 |
| Migi32 | !aptoncd | 18:08 |
| ubottu | APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline | 18:08 |
| timewriter | i have activated the nvidia-current drivers , and it seems that vertical sync isnt enabled anymore | 18:08 |
| ubun00b | since nvidia sez it's an X Server is there a simple way to stop/restart that nvidia X Server settings? | 18:08 |
| Dug_ | how would i do that ? | 18:08 |
| Migi32 | !offline | 18:08 |
| ubottu | If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.alturl.com/ - See also !APTonCD | 18:08 |
| chetnick | ubun00b: nvidia-settings is just graphical front end (configuration tool) for nvidia-drivers. | 18:09 |
| duffydack | dug hangon | 18:09 |
| Dug_ | ok | 18:09 |
| chetnick | ubun00b: now i'm not even sure what are you trying to accomplish. | 18:09 |
| ubun00b | yes, trying 1st run Settings GUI after tool installed the correct tested proprietary nVidia drivers | 18:10 |
| ubun00b | from clicking menu item: System/Administration/Nvidia X Server Settings | 18:10 |
| chetnick | ubun00b: Ok once you install nvidia proprietary drivers, run sudo nvidia-xconfig, that will create new xorg.conf and backup old one. Restart X (log out, or reboot) and then try. | 18:11 |
| duffydack | Dug_, just stick with the working kernel | 18:11 |
| Dug_ | ok i will | 18:12 |
| chetnick | ubun00b: make sure you have nvidia-settings install before you try to run it. | 18:12 |
| Dug_ | how do i remove the new one so that i always boot on the older one instead of having to shift on bootup ? | 18:12 |
| duffydack | Dug_, run synaptic | 18:12 |
| chetnick | is there like emerald theme pack? When I install emerald on other distro/OS (Gentoo, FreeBSD), emerald is by default installed with a dozen of themes. | 18:12 |
| Dug_ | ok | 18:12 |
| Dug_ | synaptic is open now | 18:13 |
| JackyAlcine | Excuse me, I need to reset my audio configuration; how do you do that? | 18:13 |
| duffydack | Dug_, click search type 2.6.32-24 | 18:13 |
| duffydack | Dug_, the 3 files marked green (installed) just right click them and remove | 18:13 |
| Dug_ | ok then i should be always running of the old kernel once they are removed ? | 18:14 |
| duffydack | Dug_, just reboot and press shift, should be only one there. | 18:14 |
| Dug_ | ok :) | 18:14 |
| p1und3r | hey all, is there any way I could secure a Windows formatted drive with Ubuntu | 18:14 |
| Dug_ | i have a quick question about the "shift" on boot thoug if you dont mind ? | 18:14 |
| duffydack | Dug_, have you not updated the kernel before now? | 18:14 |
| Dug_ | apparently not :s | 18:15 |
| Dug_ | i dont read the updates when i do them lol | 18:15 |
| duffydack | Dug_, so there are only 2 to choose from at boot | 18:15 |
| Dug_ | if i remove this im guessin gi should have the working kernel showing with another option in safe mode ? | 18:15 |
| duffydack | Dug_, ye | 18:15 |
| Dug_ | ok, so am i right in thinking each time there is a kernel update they all display in there so if i update my kernel 4 times it will give me 4 options on shift boot ? | 18:16 |
| duffydack | Dug_, only for newer versions.. | 18:16 |
| Dug_ | hmm | 18:17 |
| Dug_ | so it iwll show the old and new version it wont store the version before last ? | 18:17 |
| Dug_ | so at most it will show 2 at all times ? | 18:17 |
| === Nwab is now known as Benwa | ||

| elkclone | hamidreza: its a card | 18:18 |
| HamidReza | yes in laptop | 18:19 |
| Dug_ | ahh ok | 18:19 |
| ubun00b | chetnick: and ikonia: I successfully ran this command in terminal: sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings and part of the script included lines: Unpacking nvidia-settings (from .../nvidia-settings_195.36.08-0ubuntu2_i386.deb) ... ... cp: cannot stat `/vmlinuz': No such file or directory | 18:19 |
| ubun00b | and after it completed, now the new Nvidia X Server Settings runs, and appears it will let me tweak video settings. Thanks. | 18:19 |
| duffydack | Dug_, dont worry about it. just use older kernel for now | 18:19 |

| elkclone | hamidreza: could the card be faulty? | 18:30 |
| ubun00b | Folks, every install event I've done in past 24 hours on this fresh 1st ever Lucid LTS system has apparently succeeded with programs runable and drivers installed, yet every install ended with the standard installation failed box, and all scripts end up reporting "... returned an error code (1)". That seems contradictory, why is Ubuntu reporting "failed" installations, when they have all apparently succeeded (dozens of them)? | 18:30 |
| Dug_ | duffydack ? | 18:30 |
| Dug_ | it worked :) | 18:30 |

| bint | how can i install a desktop | 18:40 |
| PigeonCluster | bint: ask all in one line please, this channel can get busy and it's hard to read | 18:40 |
| bint | ok | 18:40 |
| iRy | started ./configure normaly for alsa utilities and it stops like this: checking for curses header name... <ncurses.h> | 18:40 |

| tuxifier | imanc: /media | 18:42 |
| imanc | tuxifier: thanks! | 18:42 |
| sipior | guest1: the usual pattern is: you give us all the data you can, and then we try to answer your question. | 18:42 |
| Strife89 | PigeonCluster: He seems to be the only active poster on this bug aside from me, and I wanted to discuss the behavior of my computer. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/382806 | 18:42 |
| tuxifier | imanc: but it doesn't automount | 18:42 |
| kiffer | by connecting to it | 18:42 |
| PigeonCluster | ah. try messaging him on the bug system, eh, Strife89? | 18:43 |
| kiffer | o | 18:43 |
| kiffer | sorry wrong channel | 18:43 |
| tuxifier | imanc: but u should see it in your gnome file manager | 18:43 |
| Strife89 | PigeonCluster: .... I completely forgot the bug tracker had a PM system. >.< | 18:43 |
| WinstonSmith | xoveruk, u can use rythmbox for that | 18:43 |
| iRy | sorry here again my failure: started ./configure normally and this failure came up http://paste.ubuntu.com/484065/. i don't have a idea what to do. | 18:44 |
| Strife89 | Then again, it's related to the bug, so perhaps I should just write a long-ish comment. | 18:44 |
| imanc | tuxifier: so the media dir is there, but the C: drive needs mounting manually? | 18:44 |
| tuxifier | imanc: yepp | 18:44 |
| guest1 | My bad 1st time here. Here it goes fresh install of Ubuntu server 10.4, like wise open and then samba last just like the docs say to do. Install of server ans like wise went well. I can ssh to the server with doman account. I can also log in w/ domain account 2 console. its the dang samba thats getting me. I can not browse the file server from a win machine. | 18:45 |
| Tetracomm | I can't find an autopsy channel and autopsy GUI won't load. | 18:45 |
| imanc | what is the ubuntu equivalent of winamp? | 18:45 |
| PigeonCluster | so, anyone with experience with AUFS copy-on-write or such? | 18:45 |
| tuxifier | imanc: and you need ntfs support installed (ntfs-3g) | 18:45 |
| RobertV | is there an equivalent mv syntax to do this: ren /really/long/directory/file.ext newfilename.ext | 18:45 |
| PigeonCluster | imanc: there are many music players, but xmms is the closest | 18:45 |
| RobertV | mv puts it in the current directory | 18:46 |
| sipior | guest1: which docs were you following? | 18:46 |
| ubun00b | On fresh install, what was program .../vmlinuz and where did it go? Why did it poof when some install scripts still look for it? | 18:46 |
| Strife89 | Ah, yes, I was wondering about that .... I recently installed Ubuntu in a dual boot setup and wish to automount my NTFS partition on startup (currently it must be mounted manually). | 18:46 |
| trism | iRy: looks like you need libncurses5-dev | 18:46 |
| JackyAlcine | Excuse me, I need to reset my audio configuration; how do you do that? | 18:46 |
| guest1 | sipior the docs directly from the ubuntu server 10.4 docs | 18:46 |

| Strife89 | PigeonCluster: <imanc> tuxifier: so the media dir is there, but the C: drive needs mounting manually? | 18:48 |
| sipior | RobertV: mv /really/long/directory/{oldname,newname} (that's bash doing the work, of course, not mv proper) | 18:48 |
| Strife89 | PigeonCluster: That line made me think about it. | 18:48 |
| PigeonCluster | ahhh. I can answer that. | 18:48 |
| PigeonCluster | add the partition to /etc/fstab - you'll have to be root - and make sure to have an empty directory to mount it on. | 18:49 |
| RobertV | thanks | 18:49 |

| Migi32 | also, ActionParsnip, what is it with this "3GB"? 32-bit OS systems should be able to address 2^32 addresses = exactly 4GB of ram. | 19:20 |
| Wild | anyone know what the issue might be or how I could fix this? | 19:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Joker__: ok it has a driver. If you run: sudo iwlist scan ,do you see access points? | 19:20 |
| ZykoticK9_nothom | !pae | Migi32 | 19:20 |
| ubottu | Migi32: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 19:20 |
| PigeonCluster | Migi32: probably his mistake. last I checked, my ubuntu 32bit non-pae can see 4G of ram on my 8Gig machines | 19:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Migi32: it will only see 3.4Gb under 32bit. I just round off | 19:21 |
| polter | Wild: run it from terminal and paste output to paste.ubuntu.com | 19:21 |

| ActionParsnip | amokpaule: run: dmesg | less ,and read the boot messages. It may give clues | 19:23 |
| WinstonSmith | wild : install the older version | 19:23 |
| infid | ActionParsnip: you cant do it from gconf, have to use a script like http://www.ivy.fr/blog/index.php/2008/05/08/85-from-macos-to-ubuntu-show-hide-desktop-icons-on-gnome | 19:23 |
| WinstonSmith | the last one crashes | 19:23 |
| Migi32 | well, I think saying 64-bit is "not recommended" => most people use 32-bit => applications are developed/tested mainly for 32-bit => 64-bit is "not recommended". | 19:24 |
| Migi32 | we need to break out of that | 19:24 |
| Migi32 | but anyway I gtg | 19:24 |
| Migi32 | bye | 19:24 |
| WinstonSmith | gtg cya all :D | 19:24 |
| vivek312 | where do i can get free projects?? | 19:24 |

| ecivo | Hi, if my harddrive has bad sectors and routinely produces errors, which tool do I use to transfer a drive image to a new drive, even if the new drive has a diffrent size? | 19:39 |

| michael2 | hi; can i someho restore screen settings for a user externally? i tried rotation and everytime i login the screen is fully black | 19:40 |
| ecivo | There are multible partions on the old drive, including win & linux partions | 19:40 |

| ecivo | m0gg, I thought of that... So simply connecting the new drive as slave and copying from the old one, then replacing old with new? | 19:41 |
| Nikie | Marcuy - Am a newbie to linux & ubuntu...:) So, Unlike in windows, if the battery is fully charged, wouldn't it show that the battery is charging ?? | 19:41 |
| michael2 | well; it works until i login to my gnome desktop; so there should be some user settings i have to remove | 19:41 |
| marcuy | Nikie, if it's charging it won't show when charged | 19:42 |

| arielCo | Hello everyone! I just configured my router with Static DHCP, so that my machine always gets '192.168.1.42'. BUT, when the interface comes up, dhclient issues a DHCPREQUEST 192.168.1.101, and the router complies. I expected dhclient to send a DISCOVER, because otherwise it won't get the assigned address until I type 'dhclient -r wlan0; dhclient wlan0' to force it. | 20:04 |
| openofficefail | marcuy: any suggestion on how to debug openoffice? | 20:05 |

| Rob235 | i ran a system update in ubuntu and for some reason a new kernel was listed but im pretty sure it was the one i already had installed, 24-32 or the other way around, either way, i installed it and decided id upgrade my graphics drivers at the same time, so i installed the nvidia drivers before rebooting and when i rebooted i cant use the graphics drivers, some kernel problem | 20:05 |
| maheanuu | I am running Ubuntu Studio 10.04 on this laptop and since I installed it over Lucid I need to re do all my audio and video ripping and conversion stuff and now I am in a hole that just keeps gettin deeper and help is continents away | 20:05 |
| Rob235 | i tried reinstalling the drivers | 20:06 |
| openofficefail | arielCo: you could always remove the package dhclient? | 20:06 |
| jon_high9000 | VCoolio: there are additional engines and themes that was dropped when jaunty came out to my knowledge. i am not sure. | 20:06 |
| Rob235 | but it keeps booting up in safe graphics mode or whatever it says | 20:06 |
| Rob235 | any ideas? | 20:06 |
| geirha | kej: Easy to do afterwards though; using imagemagick and a shell one-liner. for f in ./*.tiff; do convert "$f" "${f%.tiff}.jpg" && rm "$f"; done | 20:06 |

| IdleOne | transom324: he's gone. | 20:08 |
| openofficefail | arielCo: yeah | 20:08 |
| mgolisch | arielCo: so it doenst read dhcp with static ip there? | 20:08 |
| VCoolio | jon_high9000: don't know; just copy the themes; if karmic complains about a theme missing, try 'apt-cache search <engine>' or google it; some engines are on gnome-look.org, you can compile those; it's not a reason not to upgrade anyway | 20:08 |
| arielCo | mgolisch: it asks for 192.168.1.101 instead of discovering. The router obliges with DHCPOFFER 192.168.1.101. | 20:09 |

I have Windows XP Pro as my host machine, and Oracle VirtualBox with Ubuntu 9.10 running inside.

| libihero | @aeon-ltd i know how to open the file, but i don't know how to edit the code | 21:16 |
| aeon-ltd | libihero: in the gtkrc file the options are pretty much self explanetary | 21:17 |
| tynot | duffydack, good question. what might that be? | 21:17 |
| aeon-ltd | libihero: what variable are you having trouble with? | 21:17 |

| tynot | yeah, the install runs fine. looks like everything's goin' groovy and then then message at the end. yeah, guess we should MD5? | 21:18 |
| libihero | the dropdown menu bg color black, sorry | 21:18 |
| duffydack | tynot, yes | 21:18 |
| duffydack | tynot, what message is it | 21:19 |
| libihero | hold on lemme type out everything | 21:19 |
| aeon-ltd | libihero: random speculation here, but thats the beauty of gtkrc's you can edit save and reload, and keep trying- changing #colors and experimenting, all in all this is the very basics of hacking and modding | 21:19 |
| Aimee | Hey there, me again. Wanted to ask a different question as well | 21:19 |
| Aimee | This laptop is an Acer Aspire 5810TZ | 21:19 |
| libihero | I want to make the background color for the dropdown menu's light while their text stay black. the theme i'm using, impression, has the menu as black and the text as white. i was able to edit the theme and make the menu how i wanted it. however, i cant edit the dropdown menu text color without editing the panel text color | 21:19 |
| Aimee | The DVD drive on it is a TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-U633A, and I can't get it to work | 21:20 |

| libihero | i want to make the panel text color white, while making the dropdown menu from the panel text black | 21:20 |
| duffydack | Aimee, define 'get it to work' | 21:20 |
| aeon-ltd | libihero: to keep conisistencies some gtk libraries do that | 21:20 |
| Aimee | duffydack: In other words, I insert the DVD, it does not come up on screen | 21:20 |
| Aimee | I've tried mounting manually | 21:20 |
| tynot | duffydack, "a component of the installation failed," or something along those lines. then, when I tried to setup users and passwords, that failed as well. sound like MD5? | 21:21 |
| Aimee | the only way i've gotten anything to show up is to boot up with the dvd in the drive already | 21:21 |
| libihero | @aeon-ltd is there a way to work around it? | 21:21 |
| duffydack | Aimee, ah.. ive heard of that workaround before... hangon... | 21:21 |
| Aimee | duffydack: And even then it doesn't work | 21:21 |
| duffydack | tynot, not sure. md5 check it anyway | 21:21 |

| sirje | arielCo: no dithering. text on black or white background looks almost fine. pictures are not. | 21:26 |
| duffydack | tynot, well if it runs, something is maybe wrong with the burn or the iso | 21:26 |

| ^jude^ | openofficefail: commenting out the display manager leaves me with the kubuntu boot screen permanently - I shall have to find out how to set runlevel in upstart | 22:21 |
| gartral | FlawITS: no.. you dont understand.. the drivers for ATI are in blob form, meaning theres no source, and extreamly little.. useless documentation. ATI are inheriently worse that NVidia.. for amny reasons.. bt for your case.. i dont think theres an override.. when the card is in fullspeed 2/3D accellerator mode, the refresh rate is software controlled.. when it's not.. it's locked to 60. | 22:21 |

| katoen | Nerdy3_14159265: what .bin files. perhaps you need to set the execute bit? | 22:41 |
| monochromatic | gartral: what? | 22:41 |
| dmex04 | njain: no idea, never had a problem like that. | 22:41 |
| gartral | monochromatic: you *DONT* install dvd too usbdrives... that is a Bad Idea. | 22:41 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | katoen: Adobe Reader | 22:41 |
| monochromatic | gartral: then what? | 22:42 |
| VCoolio | Nerdy3_14159265: to execute a file it needs that, or execute the shell instead: sh file.bin works without chmod-ing | 22:42 |
| gartral | gartral: you use unetbootin.. install the iso too the pendrive, then install from ram back too that pendrive making sure the MBR is written too it as well | 22:42 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | why couldn't they just make ubuntu do that automatically? | 22:42 |
| FlawITS | lets try something else then, how would one modify xorg.conf (or whatever) in 10.14? | 22:43 |
| monochromatic | gartral: hm. | 22:43 |
| erUSUL | Nerdy3_14159265: executing things automatically is what makes windows a virus festival | 22:43 |
| monochromatic | okay thanks, I'll look it up. | 22:43 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | I don't mean execute the file but make it so that you can execute the file | 22:43 |
| gartral | monochromatic: what you just did was replace someone's bootloader and took the installed os with you :P | 22:43 |
| sabayonuser | duffydack: any thoughts | 22:44 |
| monochromatic | gartral: it is an empty drive | 22:44 |
| monochromatic | gartral: and it's my mac, so no damage done | 22:44 |
| amikrop | OerHeks: so, since I don't want to keep logs to debug, I just have to disable "console output" (the 1st step only)? | 22:44 |
| dmex04 | gartral: deleting a bootloader doesnt delete the data ;) | 22:44 |
| katoen | Nerdy3_14159265: so one can specifically allow users or groups to allow execution of a file. | 22:45 |
| c_ukumar | Hi | 22:45 |
| katoen | hi | 22:45 |
| OerHeks | amikrop, yes, as i read it, add init='/sbin/init --verbose' | 22:45 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | katoen: I don't think I follow | 22:45 |
| duffydack | sabayonuser, im not sure tbh. tried adding the drive as a repo ? | 22:45 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | katoen: Also where is a good place to install all my programs to? | 22:46 |
| duffydack | sabayonuser, the package itself is in ubuntu/pool/main/b | 22:46 |
| glickster | hey how can i find out what version of a package i have installed? | 22:46 |
| amikrop | OerHeks: ok, thanks | 22:46 |
| katoen | Nerdy3_14159265: you can tell the system that certains users can not execute your program. | 22:46 |
| njain | dmex04: thanks anyways | 22:47 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | katoen: Okay I guess, now where should I install all my programs? | 22:47 |
| katoen | Nerdy3_14159265: i suggest sticking to your package manager as much as possible. it will keep track of your installed files and you don't have to worry where they're located in teh filesystem | 22:47 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | katoen: If you can't tell I'm a linux n00b | 22:47 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | what package manager? | 22:48 |
| hiku | Nerdy3_14159265: the ubuntu software center | 22:48 |
| marmalade | can anyone read me | 22:48 |
| marmalade | can anyone read me now | 22:48 |
| hiku | marmalade: yes | 22:48 |
| njain | Nerdy3_14159265: aptitude ot apt-get | 22:48 |
| njain | Nerdy3_14159265: synaptic from the system tab | 22:49 |
| marmalade | both times? | 22:49 |
| hiku | marmalade: yes | 22:49 |
| marmalade | oh okay | 22:49 |
| njain | Nerdy3_14159265: if you prefer a gui package manager | 22:49 |
| katoen | Nerdy3_14159265: from the GUI: applications -> ubuntu software center | 22:49 |
| katoen | Nerdy3_14159265: or from the command line: aptitude or apt-get | 22:50 |
| sabayonuser | i see it in the hardware drivers.. but when i go to activate it it fails | 22:50 |
| DJAshnar | scary Q. How do I REMOVE an Ubuntu install from my laptop without killing the other OS installed? | 22:50 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | katoen: I got it open, then I can just search for adobe reader and the such? | 22:50 |
| duffydack | sabayonuser, can you hook up a cable for internet access at all? | 22:50 |
| sabayonuser | i guess i could bring the laptop over here .. | 22:51 |
| duffydack | sabayonuser, what version of ubuntu are you using. | 22:51 |
| FlawITS | why does gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf present me with a blank document in 10.14 | 22:51 |
| sabayonuser | 10.4 | 22:51 |
| FlawITS | whatever | 22:51 |
| mcl0vin | how can i change the way remix shows the menu with icon on the workspace please | 22:51 |
| erUSUL | FlawITS: becouse Xorg does not need it anymore in recent versions | 22:51 |
| erUSUL | FlawITS: if one is present is obeyed | 22:51 |
| duffydack | sabayonuser, cd or usb | 22:52 |
| amikrop | OerHeks: this bug should be fixed, though, right? | 22:52 |
| sabayonuser | what would connecting an ethernet cable do.. | 22:52 |
| sabayonuser | live cd | 22:52 |
| katoen | Nerdy3_14159265: you can give it a try. you might need to add a source from adobe to the package manager, so that it knows where to downlaod your reader, when updates are available etc. | 22:52 |

| hiku | Nerdy3_14159265: sorry, wrong command | 22:53 |
| katoen | Nerdy3_14159265: then Other Software tab, then enable the partner source, i think | 22:54 |
| katoen | Nerdy3_14159265: then let it reload the sources and search again for adobe | 22:54 |

| RobertV | guys, to apply this patch, do i extract the bzip2 sources and run this command in the sources root directory? patch -p1 < bzip2-1.0.5-install_docs-1.patch | 22:55 |
| sabayonuser | duffydack: i did that nothing showed up in the list | 22:55 |
| systm-[school] | where do i find the gnome do banshee plugin? i've searched all of the sites for the launchpad but i cannont seem to find the actual download link | 22:55 |
| duffydack | sabayonuser, what about sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter | 22:55 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | katoen: I don't get what source to enable, do I need to add adobe to the list? | 22:56 |
| sabayonuser | ok.. under ubuntu software tab the cd is showing up | 22:56 |
| sheenobu | someone said my name | 22:56 |
| sheenobu | whatever | 22:56 |
| katoen | Nerdy3_14159265: well i just checked myself if i can install adobe reader, and its there. I did not add any adobe source, so it must be part of the sources you can enable in that menu | 22:57 |
| sometux | duffydack, if you want drivers for b43 wireless just install kernel >= 2.6.33 | 22:57 |
| Nerdy3_14159265 | katoen: I searched for adobe in the software and I could install it but it didn't say it was from adobe | 22:58 |
| duffydack | Nerdy3_14159265, ubuntu already has pdf viewer installed, it shows pdf`s.. | 22:58 |
| hiku | katoen: yea, and the flash plugin is there too without muckin with the sources | 22:58 |
| erUSUL | katoen: acroread is in medibuntu; probably you added it for codecs/dvd | 22:58 |

| Azjo | oops sorry, i am using 10.04 | 23:07 |
| mickster04 | Azjo: then you dont have a menu.lst | 23:07 |
| Azjo | i am trying to edit grub because it has hijacked control over sda with windows 7 | 23:07 |
| mickster04 | Azjo: you are using grub2 | 23:07 |
| sabayonuser | duffydack: i did that but it is a huge list | 23:07 |
| Azjo | i just want to manually boot hd after preference, but when i pick sdc (ubuntu) it will NOT load | 23:07 |
| Azjo | grub2? how do i find out? | 23:07 |
| Azjo | all i know is that it came with ubuntu and there is no information for the newb in gui | 23:08 |
| mickster04 | Azjo: "grub-install -v" in terminal | 23:08 |
| Azjo | -v means? | 23:08 |
| mickster04 | Azjo: version | 23:08 |
| mickster04 | Azjo: tell us what it says | 23:08 |
| Azjo | 1.98 | 23:08 |
| mickster04 | Azjo: thats grub2 | 23:09 |
| mickster04 | now run update-grub and see if it mentions windows | 23:09 |
| Azjo | so how do i access menu.lst ? | 23:09 |
| sabayonuser | duffydack: when i did sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter b43-fwcutter is already the latest version | 23:09 |
| Akihiko | I got a problem. | 23:09 |
| mickster04 | Azjo: "update-grub" | 23:09 |
| Azjo | i tried vi menu.lst but it says it is new file | 23:09 |
| mickster04 | Azjo: there isnt one | 23:09 |
| duffydack | sabayonuser, is wifi enabled, I guess it is | 23:10 |
| erUSUL | Azjo: if you are using grub2 ( since 9.10) you do not have that file anymore | 23:10 |
| mickster04 | Azjo: gryb2 doesnt use a menu.lst | 23:10 |
| njain | when i modify /etc/[anyfile] it says No protocol specified | 23:10 |
| sabayonuser | how do i know that | 23:10 |
| Te3-BloodyIron | so uhh anyone know where the bluetooth daemon log is? | 23:10 |
| Akihiko | I burned the ISO to a cd, yet whenever I try to install it it is stuck at the loadign screen. | 23:10 |
| Akihiko | What am I doing wrong? | 23:10 |

| mickster04 | !grub2 > Azjo | 23:12 |
| ubottu | Azjo, please see my private message | 23:12 |
| sabayonuser | no .. the wireless indicator on the panel has an "!" | 23:12 |
| coz_ | Azjo, however that looks pretty normal to me | 23:12 |
| sabayonuser | when i connect the ethernet it connects immediately | 23:13 |
| Azjo | coz_ also if u do not want grub to boot up when booting from sda? | 23:13 |
| sabayonuser | i tried playing with the wireless button.. nothing | 23:13 |
| duffydack | sabayonuser, sudo modprobe b43 | 23:13 |
| hiexpo | different card | 23:13 |
| coz_ | Azjo, as I said I would check with the #grub people they are by far more knowlegeable than I am on this | 23:14 |
| Azjo | alright ill give it a shot | 23:14 |
| thune3 | Azjo: what are you tring to do. you want normal windows bootloader on sda and sdb, but grub bootloader on sdc? | 23:14 |
| Azjo | thune3: yes | 23:14 |
| sabayonuser | duffydack: is that supposed to do anything.. i just got the prompt back.. is that suppose to light my indicator? | 23:15 |

| Azjo | i dont want grub to interfere with my windows OS's | 23:15 |
| Azjo | when i pick sdc manually to boot, it will not boot | 23:15 |
| thune3 | Azjo: then you need to install the grub bootloader on sdc (not sda). You can pick sdc from bios? | 23:15 |
| Azjo | yes i can | 23:15 |
| duffydack | sabayonuser, try network manager now | 23:15 |
| Azjo | so it is installed on sda?? where? i cannnot see any files | 23:15 |
| sabayonuser | duffydack: "no network connection" | 23:16 |
| mickster04 | Azjo: it is on whatever one you currently boot from? | 23:16 |
| sabayonuser | still has the "!" | 23:16 |
| Azjo | that is sda, and i see NO files. | 23:16 |
| thune3 | Azjo: i believe you installed the grub on sda, where it seeks out the grub config files on sdc to boot. | 23:16 |
| Azjo | so what folder should it be in, on sda? | 23:16 |
| Azjo | which is ntfs | 23:16 |
| mickster04 | Azjo: is there a /boot/grub folder? | 23:16 |
| Azjo | no and thats not possible because its on ntfs, windows 7? | 23:17 |
| learstar | Is it worth upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 | 23:17 |
| sabayonuser | on lsmod i see one of the entry "cfg80211...126485...2...b43,mac80211 | 23:17 |
| mickster04 | well then you aren't booting from sda | 23:17 |
| mickster04 | Azjo well then you aren't booting from sda | 23:17 |
| Azjo | well i cannot boot when i manually pick sdc. and i do get grub loader when i pick sda. | 23:17 |
| thune3 | Azjo: if i'm understanding correctly, it's on the boot sector (mbr) of sda | 23:17 |
| Azjo | ..u mean MFT i assume? | 23:18 |
| mickster04 | no | 23:18 |
| mickster04 | mbr | 23:18 |
| mickster04 | master boot record | 23:18 |
| Azjo | i really hope it doesnt kill my w7. | 23:18 |
| Azjo | so how do i uninstall from sda and install it on sdc? | 23:18 |
| FlawITS | in lucid how would one use xrandr to change refresh rate? | 23:18 |
| Te3-BloodyIron | anyone around that can help me with the bluetooth daemon? | 23:19 |

| duffydack | sabayonuser, no, its not for 4306 chipset | 23:23 |
| maco | !resolution | Azjo | 23:23 |
| ubottu | Azjo: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 23:23 |
| njain | erUSUL: but when I am connected | 23:23 |
| Ntemis | hello | 23:23 |
| sabayonuser | duffydack: you mean the STA? | 23:23 |
| duffydack | sabayonuser, I dont know then. Until the OS is installed properly, I`m lost | 23:23 |
| learstar | Is there any big advantage upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 | 23:23 |
| duffydack | sabayonuser, yes | 23:24 |
| Ntemis | i need some help with a broadcom card | 23:24 |
| Ntemis | it installs the driver | 23:24 |
| njain | erUSUL: the hostname changes to user-laptop | 23:24 |
| Ntemis | ifconfig sees the card | 23:24 |
| hiexpo | learstar, i have stayed with 9.10 myself but personal prefs i guess | 23:24 |
| seekwill | Ntemis: I _highly_ suggest swapping out the Broadcom card to something like an Intel nic | 23:24 |
| Ntemis | but i cannot connect to wifi | 23:24 |
| sabayonuser | when i did an lsmod in opensuse the same entries showed up and it was working fine there.. | 23:24 |
| njain | erUSUL: and then, No protocol specified error comes | 23:24 |
| Ntemis | network manager dont have the wifi loaded | 23:24 |
| Ntemis | why? | 23:25 |
| Ntemis | it installed fineand activated | 23:25 |
| cfedde | thune3: the sysetm I'm running is an 8.04 LTS could I get packages from 10.04. I suspect it would be better to upgrade. | 23:25 |
| sabayonuser | the reason why i'm trying to get it done is some other ubuntu based distros have the same issue | 23:25 |
| hiexpo | enable networking | 23:25 |
| Ntemis | but doesnt work | 23:25 |
| duffydack | seekwill, nothing wrong with my broadcom.. had one since 8.04 | 23:25 |
| learstar | thanks hiexpo, learstar | 23:25 |
| erUSUL | njain: set a hostname for the machine? instead of leaving it to some automatic thing. | 23:25 |
| Ntemis | how i enable networking? | 23:25 |
| njain | erUSUL: can you help? | 23:25 |
| erUSUL | !hostname | njain | 23:25 |
| ubottu | njain: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 23:25 |
| Ntemis | please | 23:25 |
| njain | erUSUL: ci did | 23:26 |
| seekwill | duffydack: They have issues under load :( | 23:26 |
| hiexpo | np learstar | 23:26 |
| njain | erUSUL: but that is temporary | 23:26 |
| Ntemis | i can connect with lan | 23:26 |
| erUSUL | njain: you modify the two files ? | 23:26 |
| Daekdroom | cfedde, given both are LTS releases, you can do a direct update from 8.04 to 10.04 | 23:26 |
| duffydack | seekwill, 'they' must be other people then. | 23:26 |
| erUSUL | njain: see the ubottu message | 23:26 |
| njain | erUSUL:yeah | 23:26 |
| cfedde | Daekdroom: interesting | 23:26 |
| zfe | hi all | 23:26 |
| njain | erUSUL: saw | 23:26 |
| Ntemis | what i must type in terminal to enable wifi? | 23:26 |
| Ntemis | drivers are installed | 23:26 |
| Ntemis | but wifi not up | 23:26 |
| duffydack | I admit, for me, the b43 driver is complete and utter pants. The STA driver is perfect. | 23:27 |
| thune3 | cfedde: downloading and installing packages from 10.04 could get into dependency issues very quickly. is there a specific package? | 23:27 |
| erUSUL | Ntemis: sudo ifconfig wlna0 up | 23:27 |
| seekwill | duffydack: Yep. Under pretty consistent load, they tend to just stop accepting new connections. Has occurred at a number of our clients' servers | 23:27 |
| learstar | learstar had quit | 23:27 |
| sabayonuser | duffydack: is the light not coming on dependant on the driver? | 23:27 |
| erUSUL | Ntemis: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up | 23:27 |
| hiexpo | sabayonuser, what other ubuntu based distros you having problems with it < backtrack | 23:27 |
| cfedde | Daekdroom: given that the system is a VM it might even be easier. | 23:27 |
| cfedde | thune3: specificly apache2 | 23:27 |
| Ntemis | ok is up | 23:27 |
| duffydack | seekwill, I use usenet, 10mb/s for a few hours at a time. no problems here. | 23:27 |
| Ntemis | still nothing | 23:27 |
| njain | erUSUL: some other idea? | 23:27 |
| seekwill | duffydack: oh, hehe Ok :D | 23:27 |
| njain | erUSUL: or suggestion? | 23:27 |
| duffydack | seekwill, if thats not under load...what is :) | 23:27 |
| seekwill | duffydack: An Intel 1000bt nic... is like $30 | 23:28 |
| Ntemis | ifconfig wlan0 | 23:28 |
| erUSUL | njain: no; sorry. if you are using network manager see if it has an option to not change your hostname | 23:28 |
| zfe | hello, i installed ubuntu 10.04 on my new netbook, a Packard Bell dot s2, the trackpad is just crazy and there is no wireless connection available, how can i fix it? | 23:28 |

| joejoebob | guys i have a question, im installing ubuntu netbook onto my asus netbook. there is a 20mb unkown partition...can i format over it? | 23:28 |
| njain | erUSUL: are you sure this a hostname issue only | 23:28 |
| hiexpo | they all will with broamcom | 23:29 |
| njain | erUSUL: i think this hostname thingy is the effec of some other cause | 23:29 |
| delinquentme | joejoebob, id check to make sure its not a backup partition | 23:29 |
| sabayonuser | i tried the UltimateEdition too | 23:29 |
| njain | erUSUL: something like which sets the local user right | 23:29 |
| erUSUL | njain: no; but you say that problem only exist when hostname changes. and you have not give any other info. what programs error out? what are the exact error messages ? | 23:29 |
| Ntemis | so what is the nextstep to make wifi work? | 23:30 |
| sabayonuser | duffydack: does the light depend on the driver? | 23:30 |
| hope_ | i am haveing a issue with my netwrok interface settiong on my ubuntu 10.4.1 install | 23:30 |
| duffydack | sabayonuser, what light | 23:30 |
| Ntemis | clearly ubuntu can see the wifi card | 23:30 |
| njain | erUSUL: rhythmbox, xserver stops working | 23:30 |
| sabayonuser | the wireless radio light on the laptop | 23:30 |
| Ntemis | but cant use it | 23:30 |
| njain | erUSUL: No protocol specified | 23:30 |
| joejoebob | delinquentme: what do you mean a backup partition? its of an unkown format | 23:30 |
| duffydack | sabayonuser, lights on keyboards are a different matter. | 23:30 |
| FlawITS | sod it, winxp lite time | 23:30 |
| hiexpo | the light don't mean squat | 23:30 |
| sabayonuser | it lights up when the wireless is working in xp, opensuse etc | 23:31 |
| duffydack | sabayonuser, doesnt mean its not working.. | 23:31 |
| njain | erUSUL: rhythmbox says audioplayer not found | 23:31 |
| hope_ | i keep getting a interface called virbr0 and it has the ip address of my routers gateway how do i disable tha tprmintally | 23:31 |
| sabayonuser | i was talking about the "radio" button | 23:31 |
| njain | erUSUL: and it works when restarted | 23:31 |
| hiexpo | mine is always red now | 23:31 |
| hiexpo | what is it a bcm43 | 23:32 |
| duffydack | sabayonuser, if you wanna try out distros, dont just go by the live version, do it for real. | 23:32 |
| Azh | yay i did, god I love it when something works on ubuntu | 23:32 |
| duffydack | sabayonuser, backup your current distro.. then just flatten it or dual boot.. do it properly. | 23:32 |
| Azh | ubuntu is the best os ever | 23:33 |
| zfe | hello, i installed ubuntu 10.04 on my new netbook, a Packard Bell dot s2, the trackpad is just crazy and there is no wireless connection available, how can i fix it? | 23:33 |
| erUSUL | njain: well google tell me that it is an authentification error. xauth does not know you for some reason. but i dunno what is cousing it | 23:33 |
| sabayonuser | duffydack: i have ubuntu installed on one machine but that is not at this location.. and here i have limitation in the hardware.. i have to return the laptop so cannot install it on there.. | 23:34 |
| erUSUL | njain: when it happens run in a terminal « xhost SI:localuser:youruser » and see if that helps | 23:35 |
| sabayonuser | i'm basically testing/learning what to do if something doesn't work in linux | 23:35 |
| hope_ | i keep getting a interface called virbr0 and it has the ip address of my routers gateway how do i disable that permintally, i have 2 identical servers and this is only running on one of them fresh install ddint solve it | 23:35 |
