| inspectorg | I have searched the forums and google, and I am learning a lot, but I don't know enough yet to solve this problem. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| aveilleux | inspectorg: Ubuntu doesn't use runlevels | 00:00 |
| inspectorg | I thougth it started at run level 1 or 0 and changed to 2 or 3 when gdm started. | 00:01 |
| inspectorg | Do any of the experts have voice capability to communicate? | 00:02 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: Well, runlevel 0 in the Linux kernel is System Halt | 00:03 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: But I believe Ubuntu runs fully in runlevel 2 (multi-user mode) | 00:03 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: I mean runlevel 7 (tty7) | 00:04 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: Ubuntu doesn't use runlevels in the Red Hat/SuSE sense... its runlevels can be defined as "modes" with 0 being Halt, 1 being single-user (recovery) mode, 2-6 multi-user mode, and 7 being multi-user graphical mode | 00:05 |
| inspectorg | So you are saying that run levels are not my problem, since /etc/rc.local is run by all the run levels, right? | 00:05 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: It's not a permission issue. /etc/rc.local is run as root. | 00:05 |
| inspectorg | Okay so why doesn't xbmc start with a command in /etc/rc.local? | 00:06 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: Your service command is incorrect. The command should be "/etc/init.d/lirc start" | 00:06 |
| inspectorg | It starts from a terminal command line with "xbmc" or "exec xbmc" | 00:07 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: Oops, read the wrong command. Also, the correct file is /etc/init.d/rc.local, not /etc/rc.local | 00:09 |
| inspectorg | have I lost connection? | 00:10 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: No | 00:11 |
| inspectorg | Ok Isn't /etc/init.d/lirc start interchangeable with service lirc start? | 00:11 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: Yes, I already said that I misread the question | 00:12 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: Can you pastebin ( http://pastebin.ubuntu.com ) the output of the following command: ls -l /etc/init.d/rc.local /etc/rc.local | 00:12 |
| inspectorg | Okay, I will try /etc/init.d/rc.local, but what do I enter to start xbmc? | 00:13 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: Are you lagging? | 00:14 |
| inspectorg | what does lagging mean? | 00:14 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: It means I think that you are recieving my questions much later than I am asking them. To answer my own question: No, you are not lagging. Please read my instructions and answer my questions so I can try and help you solve the problem faster | 00:15 |
| inspectorg | Give me a few minutes to try your command. Thanks for the help. | 00:15 |
| inspectorg | Here is what I get: john@john-desktop:~$ ls -l /etc/init.d/rc.local /etc/rc.local -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 801 2009-09-07 14:58 /etc/init.d/rc.local -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 306 2010-04-29 08:18 /etc/rc.local | 00:16 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: When I ask for a "pastebin", I mean I want you to post the output at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/ and give the link to me, so we can avoid long strings of Terminal output | 00:17 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: Okay, so there's no permission issue with either file. Can you pastebin the output of "cat /etc/rc.local" ? | 00:18 |
| inspectorg | Okay I will try that also. | 00:19 |
| inspectorg | I am sorry, I just realized that I am not on the computer with the problem. I will sign off here and try from there. I am embarrassed. | 00:21 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: Don't worry, it happens to everyone ;-) See you soon | 00:21 |
| inspectorg_ | Okay I am back. Is avielleux still there? | 00:30 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg_: Indeed | 00:31 |
| inspectorg_ | Could you please give me the directions again. Thanks for your patience. | 00:32 |
| inspectorg_ | By the way, how to you include my name each time. I would think you are not typing it in. | 00:33 |
| aveilleux | aveilleux: Pastebin (http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/ ) the results of ls -l /etc/init.d/rc.local /etc/rc.local | 00:33 |
| tenach | aveilleux, tab fail? | 00:33 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg_: Actually, I am typing it every time. My client's tab-completion is broken. | 00:33 |
| aveilleux | tenach: No, just a fail on my part ;-) | 00:33 |
| tenach | aveilleux, :D I'm not the only one who manually types AND still fails at it :D | 00:34 |
| * tenach quits butting in. | 00:34 | |
| aveilleux | inspectorg_: Pastebin (http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/ ) the results of ls -l /etc/init.d/rc.local /etc/rc.local (mistyped the first time) | 00:34 |
| inspectorg_ | aveilleux, I posted it in pastebin with my nick name (inspectorg). | 00:39 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg_: can you give me the URL? | 00:39 |
| inspectorg_ | aveilleux Here is the url http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/485192/ | 00:40 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg_: Okay, so that's fine. Can you pastebin the output of cat /etc/rc.local now? | 00:41 |
| inspectorg_ | aveilleux It is in http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/485194/ | 00:43 |
| inspectorg_ | aveilleux: Where is the client's tab. I don' t see it on my terminal. | 00:44 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg_: I *just* figured out the problem. XBMC is a media center interface, correct? Well, /etc/rc.local is run *before* login, not after, meaning XBMC would not display if run through /etc/rc.local | 00:45 |
| inspectorg_ | Aveilleux: Great. So what do I do, instead? | 00:47 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg_: You still have the Ubuntu Desktop system, right? Go to System > Preferences > Sessions; under "Startup Programs" add a new entry with "exec xbmc-standalone" as its command | 00:47 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg_: That should run that command in tty7 (your graphical login session) and boot XBMC right when you log on. | 00:47 |
| inspectorg_ | aveilleux: I have done that and it starts XBMC fine, but my remote doesn't work. I think you joined the session after I had described the problem in full, Let me tell you more. | 00:48 |
| inspectorg_ | aveilleux: I need to run sevice lirc start before XBMC starts. So I tried to do that with the /etc/rc.local. | 00:49 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg_: Oh, so.... when you restart lirc (after XBMC has already started) the remote works fine | 00:50 |
| inspectorg_ | What runs before logon in and before xbmc starts automaticly? | 00:50 |
| inspectorg_ | No, when I start lirc before xbmc it works fine. | 00:51 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg_: Okay. I think I know a solution. Give me a moment to write a script for you | 00:51 |
| inspectorg_ | Any idea why I have to restart or start lirc? When I restart it it stops it and then starts it. So I would think it is running. when i start xbmc?\ | 00:53 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg_: Can you run service lirc restart without sudo? (I assume not, but it's worth a shot) | 00:53 |
| inspectorg_ | I think I can, I will try it. | 00:53 |
| inspectorg_ | Aveilliex: No you are right, I need sudo. | 00:54 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg_: I can't think of anything that you're doing wrong, /etc/rc.local should be correct... | 00:59 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg_: I have a workaround, but it seems kludgy (ie. not perfect) | 00:59 |
| inspectorg_ | aveilleux: I thought had it right when you said that /etc/rc.local was run before login, therefore the xbmc command would not be recognized, since it is not system command. Would a location help? | 01:01 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg_: xbmc should not be run in rc.local. That part is incorrect. | 01:01 |
| inspectorg_ | Aveilleux: At this point I will try anything. I am embassed to tell you how much time I have spent on this.But it has been a learning experience. | 01:02 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg_: I'm throwing together a quick script, let me test it on my system | 01:04 |
| inspectorg_ | Aveilleux: I started with Ubuntu a couple of weeks ago and I has consumed me. My wife is definitely not happy. I am very used to windows. | 01:04 |
| inspectorg_ | Aveilleux: I appreciate your help. | 01:05 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg_: Okay. Open up text editor for me please, and paste this into it: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/485203/ | 01:07 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg_: Then save it as "xbmc.sh" in your Home folder | 01:08 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg_: Let me know when you've done that | 01:08 |
| inspectorg_ | aveilleux: Okay, done. | 01:10 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg_: Okay. Close the text editor and open up Terminal. | 01:11 |
| inspectorg | aveilleux: done | 01:11 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg_: type "chmod +x xbmc.sh && sudo mv xbmc.sh /usr/bin/" without the quotes and hit Enter. You'll be prompted for your password. | 01:12 |
| inspectorg | aveilleux:okay | 01:13 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: Real quick: What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 01:14 |
| inspectorg_ | 10.4 | 01:14 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: Okay. Now, tell me what happens when you enter the command "xbmc.sh" | 01:16 |
| inspectorg_ | aveilleux: I says no such file or directory. | 01:18 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg_: Are you on the correct system? I see you going back and forth between usernames | 01:18 |
| inspectorg_ | yes, I am on the corect system, it say john@john-desktop:~$ xbmc.sh /usr/bin/xbmc.sh: line 1: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/485203/: No such file or directory | 01:19 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: Oh, noo no no :-P Type "gedit /usr/bin/xbmc.sh" for me. It'll open the script on text editor | 01:21 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: Go the the URL in the file in a web browser (Firefox or whatever) | 01:22 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: Then delete the contents and replace them with what I put into that pastebin | 01:22 |
| aveilleux | on -> in | 01:22 |
| inspectorg_ | okay | 01:24 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg_: Then save the file, and try that command again | 01:26 |
| inspectorg_ | I am having trouble navigating windows, so it will be a little longer, I am working on it. | 01:29 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg_: I have no idea what you mean by that | 01:29 |
| inspectorg_ | Okay, it is done. I wil try to execute it. | 01:33 |
| inspectorg | aveilleux: I am on another system now. The xbmc.sh command started lirc and entered xbmc, the remote worked, but I tried to exit and it hung. | 01:36 |
| aveilleux | Hm.... | 01:37 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: what is the difference between "exec xbmc-standalone" and "start xbmc"? | 01:38 |
| inspectorg | Aveilleux: no mouse, no remote, nada. Should I restart or try ctl-alt-f1? | 01:38 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: Yeah try ctrl+alt+f1... I can walk you through killing processes by command-line | 01:38 |
| inspectorg | I don't think it matters. Both have worked, but xbmc-standalone seemed to start faster. | 01:39 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: Oh, clear your /etc/rc.local file. It should look like this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/485210/ | 01:41 |
| inspectorg | Okay, my system is back by restarting gdm, Yes I forgot I stlll had that stuff in rc.local | 01:43 |
| inspectorg | aveilleux: YES, YES, YES. It worked. THANK YOU. | 01:46 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: You're welcome | 01:46 |
| inspectorg | Tell me what we did and how the stuff in rc.local hurt please. | 01:46 |
| inspectorg | so I assume I now put the xbmc.sh command in the startup applications, right? | 01:47 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: I honestly have no idea. I think it may have been a resource conflict (root tried to access files and locked them [while executing rc.local] then user couldn't access them) | 01:47 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: Yes, put xbmc.sh into startup applications | 01:48 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: It'll ask you for your password twice (once to login, once directly after login), which is why it's a kind of nongraceful solution, but it works. | 01:48 |
| inspectorg | so it looks like the script starts lirc and then executes xbmc. What does the gksudo do? | 01:49 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: gksudo is the graphical version of sudo. Since startup applications run in the background, I had to invoke gksudo so it wouldn't just hang in the background, waiting for input that would never arrive (sudo is nongraphical) | 01:50 |
| inspectorg | And I also assume the chmod command made it executible? | 01:50 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: Yes. chmod +x makes a text file (or other binary) executable. | 01:51 |
| mcw | Arr me harties!!!! | 01:51 |
| inspectorg | Aveilleux: Thanks again, I am going to sign of and celebrate with some dinner. | 01:52 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: have fun :D | 01:52 |
| mcw | been a while | 01:52 |
| mcw | Hows everbody tonight?? | 01:53 |
| mcw | Great good to hear lol | 01:55 |
| inspectorg | aveilleux: Are you still there. I spoke too soon. When I restarted, I needed to enter a password prompt for lirc. How do I get arounc that? | 02:00 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: That's what I meant. gksudo is that password prompt. I don't know of any way around it besides disabling password protection on sudo entirely | 02:01 |
| inspectorg | How do I do that? That would be fine. | 02:02 |
| inspectorg | Can't I execute as the administrator with out a password? | 02:03 |
| inspectorg | I guess I would still have to enter a password to become root. | 02:03 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: run sudo -k real quick (to kill your last sudo session) | 02:04 |
| inspectorg | Okay, but I had previouly ran gedit to look at the xbmc.sh | 02:05 |
| inspectorg | Why the sudo -k? What is your concern? | 02:06 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: We'll be editing the sudoers file in a second, and I don't want anything interfering with it. | 02:07 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: Run the command sudo visudo, and select "nano" as the editor | 02:08 |
| inspectorg | Is security an issue on Ubuntu with all the scripts flying around? | 02:08 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: Always! | 02:08 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: I should say: rather than not worrying about security on a secure system (Linux), one should always be aware of the dangers | 02:08 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: Not that security is a major problem; on the contrary, Linux's security is extremely simple and extremely effective. But just in case, you know? | 02:09 |
| inspectorg | it says that it needs to be run as root, I will do a sudo -s ## okay? | 02:09 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: sudo visudo should run visudo as root. Did you forget sudo? | 02:09 |
| inspectorg | yes | 02:10 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: Okay, so is the file open in nano? | 02:11 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: Note that nano is command-line based, so your mouse will not work in nano. You'll have to use the arrow keys to navigate. | 02:11 |
| inspectorg | okay it is open | 02:12 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: Now navigate to the last line (should start with "%admin") and change it so it looks like this: %admin ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL | 02:13 |
| inspectorg | I guess I was in originally but saw the message to run as root, so I went back. Anyhow I am there. | 02:13 |
| inspectorg | should NOPASSWD be in quotes? | 02:14 |
| inspectorg | I mean parentheses | 02:15 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: Not that I know of, let me check my sudoers file real quick | 02:16 |
| inspectorg | I only say that because what I was replacing ALL was in ( ). | 02:17 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: WAIT no don't do that | 02:18 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: The guide I was looking at was old | 02:19 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: Instead uncomment (delete the #) on the line that starts with %sudo | 02:19 |
| inspectorg | Aveilleux: there is no line with a # in front of %sudo | 02:21 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: Wait no no no, I'm so very confused right now. Just replace the line like I said before. No parenthesis. | 02:22 |
| inspectorg | It says %sudo ALL=(ALL) ALL | 02:22 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: Make the %admin line say %admin ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL (exactly) | 02:22 |
| inspectorg | Okay. Should I save it? | 02:23 |
| inspectorg | That is what it says. | 02:23 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: Yes. Hit Ctrl+O to save it, then ctrl+x to exit | 02:23 |
| inspectorg | Okay, shall I restart? | 02:24 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: Yeah, give it a shot | 02:27 |
| geirha | Restart? For a suodoers change? | 02:28 |
| aveilleux | geirha: He's testing a startup script. | 02:28 |
| geirha | Should be enough to just log out and back in then | 02:29 |
| aveilleux | geirha: logging out then logging back in doesn't rerun /etc/rc.local (I want to see if some changes stuck) | 02:29 |
| inspectorg | It was very weird, I got a black screen with a mouse cursor like in XBMC, then the gdm desktop and then it went to XBMC. | 02:30 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: /etc/rc.local should be blanked, right? | 02:30 |
| geirha | aveilleux: But rc.local is run as root, and the root user does not need to use a password when using sudo | 02:30 |
| aveilleux | geirha: We're working on several problems at once. Sudoers happens to be the latest. Don't worry about it. | 02:31 |
| inspectorg | Actually we are not running in /etc/rc.local but in /usr/bin, right? | 02:32 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg.... No, I was making sure blanking /etc/rc.local was blanked, which is was. /usr/bin has nothing to do with it. | 02:32 |
| inspectorg | I wonder why the delay? I can live with it but it seems strange. | 02:32 |
| geirha | Ah, sorry. I didn't read the entire conversation before I barged in | 02:33 |
| inspectorg | Okay I will check it again. | 02:33 |
| inspectorg | Aveilleux: Yes the only command is the exit 0 | 02:34 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: I don't know where the lag is coming from, then | 02:35 |
| inspectorg | I tried it again and it was much faster. I think we are there and I will quit while I am ahead. Thanks again!!! | 02:37 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: You're very welcome. Come back if you need anything | 02:38 |
| inspectorg | Aveilleux: Good night. | 02:39 |
| aveilleux | inspectorg: Good night | 02:39 |
| jason2023 | does anyone know if there is a easy-convenient way to read the document files and or the man pages from a single interface | 04:27 |

| stlsaint | jason2023: help.ubuntu.com | 04:33 |
| jason2023 | I am probably to dense but is there some thing that i can use localy help.ubuntu.com tends to be overwhelming | 04:35 |
| stlsaint | jason2023: what do you mean locally? | 04:40 |
| jason2023 | ?like a document browser? | 04:42 |
| stlsaint | jason2023: im sorry im not following you...you want to view the tutorials locally like in pdf format or something? | 04:43 |
| jason2023 | help.ubuntu.com covers every thing and I want to learn about what I have on my machine | 04:43 |
| stlsaint | jason2023: than do a search at help.ubuntu.com on whatever application you want | 04:44 |
| stlsaint | jason2023: the search bar will guide you to the subject of your choosing | 04:44 |
| stlsaint | jason2023: do you see the search bar? | 04:48 |
| jason2023 | I'm sorry I must be getting sleepy to much of a bone head right now, and can't think straight. thank you for all of your help. G'night | 04:48 |

| vipinb | hi all | 15:43 |
| zkriesse | vipinb: Hello!!!!!! | 15:44 |
| zkriesse | Hi cookr35!!! | 15:44 |
| vipinb | zkriesse : please anyone help me . i'm getting " pulseaudio[14089]: ratelimit.c: 113 events suppressed" .This message is populating syslog | 15:45 |
| zkriesse | vipinb: You've asked that same question twice in #ubuntu already | 15:45 |
| zkriesse | Have patience | 15:45 |
| zkriesse | !patience > vipinb | 15:46 |
| ubot2 | vipinb, please see my private message | 15:46 |
| bobo123 | hi vipinb, perhaps someone in #ubuntu may know.... | 15:47 |
| zkriesse | bobo123: Hes already asked twice without waiting | 15:48 |
| zkriesse | So now hes spamming the questiin | 15:48 |
| bobo123 | aha :-) | 15:50 |
| vipinb | zkriesse: sorry if it asked twice. But i want to know if anyone know what is the reason for this error message. | 15:50 |
| bobo123 | perhaps I can ask here too since noone in #ubuntu seems to know: | 15:52 |
| bobo123 | o I have some problem with a devicedriver or a settings somewhere in my ubuntu-installation? burning a dvd goes extremely slow... While it was burning (a normal DVD+R) ubuntu said "3522 KB/s (2.6x)". And I haven't changed burningspeed or anything so it was set to max (and btw the only options there are "6x" spin and "max"). And my dvd-discs are 16X | 15:53 |
| vipinb | bob123: I'm very curious to know. Noone is getting this message in syslog?? | 15:53 |
| bobo123 | *Do I have... I mean. | 15:54 |
| bobo123 | vipinb: I haven't looked in syslog so I don't know.... where is it? | 15:54 |
| vipinb | bobo123: ok fine.... | 15:55 |

| indratta | I i didn't wanna make a mess using empathy for irc... tx | 16:12 |
| hobgoblin | neither would I :) | 16:12 |
| newbie | i had a dual OS 1 windows vista and 1 Ubuntu 10.04 | 16:12 |
| newbie | but when I got a problem in Grub menu and solved it...my problem now when i like to choose the windows vista i cannot boot when i use UBUNTU is ok no problem | 16:13 |
| hobgoblin | newbie: please open a terminal, run this command and then use paste.ubuntu.com to get a pastebin url | 16:14 |
| hobgoblin | sudo fdisk -l &&cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 16:14 |
| newbie | hobgoblin what do you men i go to the terminal and type that... | 16:15 |
| hobgoblin | yep or copy paste - then copy the output to the paste ubuntu site = put a name in the box, hit paste and then com here with the url you get | 16:16 |
| bobo123 | are there some DMA-settings in ubuntu that might be wrong or something that causes the dvd-burner go so slow? (I think that is a problem that accour in Windows so perhaps here too?) | 16:16 |
| hobgoblin | indratta: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XChatHowto | 16:16 |
| newbie | why i never saw the the drive C in my hardisk i only saw only the drive D...it is mean the boot is in drive D any explanations | 16:17 |
| hobgoblin | nope | 16:18 |
| hobgoblin | no idea about windows anymore I'm afraid | 16:18 |
| newbie | windows vista ( loader ) ( on /dev/sda2 ) | 16:21 |
| newbie | insmod ntfs set root='(hd0,2)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 00000000000 chainloader +1 ANY EXPLANATIONS ABOUT THIS.. | 16:22 |
| newbie | HOBGOBLIN ARE U THERE... | 16:23 |
| hobgoblin | yes | 16:26 |
| hobgoblin | I told you what I wanted you to do | 16:26 |
| hobgoblin | newbie: please open a terminal, run this command and then use paste.ubuntu.com to get a pastebin url | 16:26 |
| hobgoblin | sudo fdisk -l &&cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 16:26 |
| hobgoblin | when you have done that and supplied the url I will look | 16:26 |
| newbie | OK | 16:27 |
| bobo123 | Any idea of what I can search for in google to find any solution for my problem with dvd-burning speed? | 16:27 |
| newbie | ONLY A DEVICE BOOT | 16:29 |
| hobgoblin | bobo123: not really - maybe start with dvd burn speed slow | 16:29 |
| hobgoblin | bobo123: try using a linux search engine though - like googlubuntu | 16:30 |
| hobgoblin | newbie: I'm off now - next time someone tries to help you - do as they ask and don't shout at them - good luck | 16:31 |
| newbie | hello how can i solve this ..... | 16:31 |
| hobgoblin | bobo123: you could check in BIOS that the settings are right I guess if it is both windows and ubuntu | 16:36 |
| bobo123 | hobgoblin: oh a google.searchpage just for linux :-) and yes perhaps I should burn my next dvd in windows to check that everything works perfect there. I haven't started windowsXP for a while... | 16:39 |
| bobo123 | newbie: seems you have problems with grub bootmenu, or? | 16:41 |
| newbie | YES... ..i cannot boot a windows vista in grub menu but i can boot the ubuntu os...and I cannot see my drive C only a drive D.... | 16:42 |
| newbie | so what is the solution here... | 16:43 |
| bobo123 | ohh... you can't even see the c:-partition from ubuntu? strange... I haven't used vista but I suppose it use a normal NTFS-partition just like windowsXP right? | 16:44 |
| newbie | http://paste.ubuntu.com/485485/plain/ here is my pastebin .... | 16:48 |
| geirha | sda2 will be (hd0,1) in grub terms | 16:57 |
| geirha | If you have grub2, sudo update-grub should detect the windows and add it | 16:59 |
| hobgoblin | newbie: of course - if you had run the command and pasted it like you were asked - no-one would be trying to second guess what is going on. | 17:06 |
| newbie | i log in paste it already so what's the next | 17:13 |
| bobo123 | hi again newbie, I was just about to say "what tdoes system-administation-GParted say about your c:-partition" before my program hanged here | 17:15 |
| hobgoblin | newbie: I still want to see the /boot/grub file - do the end of the command I showed earlier again - cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 17:17 |
| bobo123 | Now I have checked in nero in windows about my dvd, and it seems that my burner don't like these dvd-disks or something, becuase Nero say that they are "4X" (still faster than ubuntus 2.6X but anyway). I have allso found one unburned dvd leftover from an earlier pack and it is said fo be able to burn in (2.4X to 16X) in both windows/nero and ubuntu (I havent yet test burning to it yet though) so I guess it is my new disks fault then... | 17:20 |
| newbie | hobgoblin....i send it already in the pastebin...u mean can i start over again..\ | 17:38 |
| hobgoblin | newbie I wanted to see the grub file - but I've run out of time now | 17:42 |
| newbie | check http://paste.ubuntu.com/485485/plain/ here is the grub file | 17:43 |
| hobgoblin | nope - that is the fdisk output | 17:43 |
| newbie | o your mean the program below the fdisk output | 17:44 |
| hobgoblin | I understand that it is probably all new to you - which is why I gave the first command I gave - it would have run 2 commands and given you one long output | 17:44 |
| newbie | how can i copy paste the output message in the pastebin ... | 17:45 |
| hobgoblin | newbie: I have run out of time now - see if someone else can help now | 17:46 |
| newbie | back to manual system of copying it ok...thanks and bye | 17:46 |

| sebsebseb | an is | 19:49 |
| * sebsebseb is learning | 19:49 | |
| * sebsebseb is thinking | 19:49 | |
| sebsebseb | that kind of thing yeah | 19:50 |
| harrisonk | I know. once I do something I am more likely to remember. | 19:50 |
| sebsebseb | shoudn't really do it that often in channels though, becuse it might annoy someone | 19:50 |
| stlsaint | hello sebsebseb | 19:50 |
| sebsebseb | harrisonk: whats nice as well is the logs | 19:50 |
| sebsebseb | harrisonk: in HTML format, show the /me 's :) | 19:51 |
| sebsebseb | !logs | harrisonk | 19:51 |
| ubot2 | harrisonk: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ | 19:51 |
| sebsebseb | stlsaint: hello | 19:51 |
| harrisonk | I do find those helpful | 19:51 |
| sebsebseb | harrisonk: sure, but your IRC client probably logs as well, your own personal log | 19:51 |
| sebsebseb | most will log by default | 19:52 |
| harrisonk | irssi? | 19:52 |
| harrisonk | does irssi do a local log? | 19:52 |
| sebsebseb | harrisonk: wow in a way, your on IRSSI, the noobs/newbies tend to use Xchat | 19:52 |
| sebsebseb | I think with irssi you would have to set it up to log | 19:53 |
| harrisonk | I use it because I run it on my server in screen, if the computer I am using crashes or something I can move to another one. | 19:54 |
| sebsebseb | harrisonk: So you got Ubuntu server? | 19:54 |
| harrisonk | yes | 19:54 |

| mininessie | hey is there broadcom sta version for kernel 2.6.35 | 22:16 |
| mininessie | anyone here | 22:20 |
| mininessie | can someone answer me | 22:25 |
| mininessie | !voice | 22:32 |
| ubot2 | Factoid 'voice' not found | 22:32 |
| mininessie | stlsaint, can you see what i am typing | 22:32 |
| pleia2 | !ask | 22:32 |
| ubot2 | 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. :-) | 22:32 |
| pleia2 | mininessie: did you have a question? | 22:33 |
| mininessie | is there broadcom sta version for kernel 2.6.35 | 22:34 |
| pleia2 | looks like the broadcome site itself has some patches http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php | 22:36 |
| pleia2 | I don't use it though, so I don't know the answer for sure | 22:36 |
| stlsaint | mininessie: yes | 22:36 |
| mininessie | pleia2, i got them but when i opened the 33 i got this cd top level directory | 22:41 |
| mininessie | 'ls' should show src, lib, Makefile, etc | 22:41 |
| mininessie | . | 22:41 |
| mininessie | patch -p0 < patch | 22:41 |
| mininessie | what am i suppose to do | 22:42 |
| pleia2 | mininessie: I really don't know, is there a README or something that came with it? | 22:42 |
| pleia2 | and is the broadcom driver in ubuntu not working? | 22:42 |
| mininessie | pleia2, well when 10.04 upgrades to 10.10 it won't be working | 22:43 |
| stlsaint | mininessie: when the release is final there will more than likely be a driver | 22:44 |
| pleia2 | 10.10 is still in alpha, you probably want to stick with 10.04 | 22:44 |
| starcraftman | there any major grub bugs in lucid? I'm getting a 15 error after a clean install (disk fine, did a second clean too). | 22:47 |
| mininessie | help i need to patch broadcom sta when i opened the patch file i got this cd top level directory | 23:10 |
| mininessie | 'ls' should show src, lib, Makefile, etc | 23:10 |
| mininessie | . | 23:10 |
| mininessie | patch -p0 < patch | 23:10 |
| stlsaint | mininessie: what is making you think that you need to apply a patch? what is your source of information? | 23:13 |
| mininessie | stlsaint, never mind i got what i need | 23:13 |
| stlsaint | mininessie: i can tell you know that syntax for patch command is wrong (from my experience) | 23:13 |
| stlsaint | s/know/now | 23:13 |
| stlsaint | alrighty | 23:13 |
| mininessie | but if it doesn't work then i be back here | 23:14 |
