| NewBuntu | DIL: What do you mean? I think smb.conf has been installed from Synaptic Package Manager | 00:12 |
| cablop | bint... you don't use vnc to access a server... you use ssh or a remote tty... | 00:12 |

| NewBuntu | DIL: The terminal returned the following: # Change this to the workgroup/NT-domain name your Samba server will part of | 00:25 |
| NewBuntu | workgroup = WORKGROUP | 00:25 |
| NewBuntu | DIL: I didn't change Windows 7 workgroup name | 00:26 |
| NewBuntu | DIL: so surely that should match with the workgroup name of my ubuntu laptop | 00:27 |
| DIL | NewBuntu, which is workgroup? win7 and samba has issues | 00:27 |
| NewBuntu | DIL: What do you mean issues? In what way..? | 00:28 |
| dmex | NewBuntu: samba doesnt support NTMLv2 well | 00:28 |
| DIL | NewBuntu, shares not being seen | 00:28 |
| dougb_freebsd | IIRC the default workgroup name in windows 7 was not "WORKGROUP" you might want to check that on the windows 7 box | 00:28 |
| Fendaril | This is a really stupid question by I somehow made my pdf viewer full screen | 00:28 |
| dmex | NTLM^ | 00:28 |
| aaroninfidel | dougb_freebsd: well right now I've mostly been developing websites, but I wanted to get into building my own MMO with 2d sprites. and I looked into node.js and socket.io and after reading a few lines of documentation I just felt really overwhelmed and confused. | 00:28 |
| Fendaril | How do I change it back | 00:28 |
| Fendaril | This is the default one that comes with ubuntu | 00:29 |
| DIL | NewBuntu, see message from dougb_freebsd | 00:29 |
| dougb_freebsd | aaroninfidel: by MMO do you mean Massively Muliplayer Online game? | 00:29 |
| aaroninfidel | dougb_freebsd: yes. | 00:29 |
| NewBuntu | DIL and dmex: Does that mean that it isn't possible to copy data across network by accessing files from other Windows machines? | 00:29 |
| dougb_freebsd | If so, you're going to need to learn C++ | 00:29 |
| Josesordo | Hello all | 00:29 |
| dougb_freebsd | .... so better to start with good books on C++, rather than trying to learn concepts from other languages, that'll just confuse you | 00:30 |
| Fendaril | dougb_freebsd:he should learn NASM since it's 100x easier then c++ right? | 00:30 |
| Josesordo | I have a question, I just installed ubuntu 10.04 64bits again and I want to know if is neccesary to install driver for ATI HD Radeon 2600 to use compiz? | 00:30 |
| DIL | NewBuntu, i have several boxes on my network xp is fine having issues with win7 | 00:30 |
| dougb_freebsd | Fendaril: evil :) | 00:31 |
| dmex | NewBuntu: type secpol.msc into your win7 start-menu searchbox | 00:31 |

| edju | Running Kubuntu Lucid and trying to get the system to recognize a 1st gen iphone. I can mount it w/ ifuse, but that's it. Neither Amarok nor Rhythmbox recognize it. I've tried searching, but all I can find are posts that it "just works." Well, not here. Any hints, pointers, work-arounds, etc. appreciated. | 00:31 |
| dmex | NewBuntu: Go to: Local Policies > Security Options and then find "Network Security: LAN Manager" authentication level. Once there, change the Setting from "Send NTLMv2 response only" to "Send LM & NTLM -- use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated." | 00:31 |
| Josesordo | so, what drivers I install the one that ubuntu download for me or the one from ati.com? | 00:32 |
| NewBuntu | dmex: You mean in Wind7 laptop? | 00:32 |
| whiterabbit1337 | Jose, Have you tried using Compiz before downloading any drivers? | 00:33 |
| dmex | NewBuntu: yes | 00:33 |
| aaroninfidel | dougb_freebsd: but if the server is going to be written in node.js do you still think it's a good idea to learn C++ ? or do you mean I should learn C++ because it'll allow me to understand the core concepts of programming? | 00:34 |
| dmex | NewBuntu: type secpol.msc into your win7 start-menu searchbox, open it and goto Local Policies > Security Options | 00:34 |
| dougb_freebsd | aaroninfidel: it makes no sense to write an MMO server in node.js | 00:34 |
| klappi | dougb_freebsd: and why so? | 00:35 |
| dougb_freebsd | but if you want to learn node.js, learn node.js ... or maybe I'm not understanding your question :) | 00:35 |
| aaroninfidel | dougb_freebsd: I heard it was a good idea because it's no-blocking | 00:35 |
| dougb_freebsd | klappi: because of the whole concept of "massively multiplayer" ... javascript doesn't scale on the "massively" OR the "multiplayer" levels | 00:36 |

| dmex | NewBuntu: whats the exact error? you shouldnt get a mount error from browsing either. | 00:48 |
| lumos | dougb_freebsd: i need to rename it, but its a failsage | 00:48 |
| lumos | safe* | 00:48 |
| freezway | drem, you might try the xpress 200 drivers, but I dont think they'll work... backup first if you do... this could get messy | 00:49 |
| NewBuntu | dremx: Dialogue box which says: Unable to mount location. Failed to retrieve share list from server | 00:49 |
| datta | can anyone please tell me how I can copy a file to usr/share | 00:49 |
| datta | it does not allow me at all to do that | 00:49 |
| dougb_freebsd | lumos: well, someone else already gave you the right answer, open a terminal and type: su root | 00:49 |
| drem | ha! ok thank you. | 00:49 |
| drem | I don't think I will hassle with it because I just wanted to install the driver to change effects of my desktop and such | 00:50 |
| datta | I am trying to transfer a directory from desktop to usr/share | 00:50 |
| freezway | drem, I honestly dont think it will work, but its worth a try... | 00:50 |
| lumos | dougb_freebsd: but i cant, its expecting to log me on at ubuntu@ubuntu, when i need to log on for lumos. it says authentithication failure | 00:50 |
| freezway | drem, ok... | 00:50 |
| Sunderphon | is there an alternative to notify-osd I can use? The enforced expiry time (10 seconds for a 1 word notification? Really?) is ridiculous | 00:50 |
| dougb_freebsd | lumos: you can't log in as your normal user on the livecd | 00:50 |
| lumos | dougb_freebsd: how would i do that? | 00:51 |
| lumos | dougb_freebsd: oh sorry i see | 00:51 |
| dmex | NewBuntu: do you have cable or adsl? | 00:51 |
| drem | freezway, I am guessing the reason why I can't apply themes with emerald or use effects with compiz is because I do not have my driver installed right? | 00:51 |
| lumos | dougb_freebsd: then how can i change this file? | 00:51 |
| NewBuntu | dremx: adsl. Couldn't be that Ubuntu is an upgrade from 8.04 to 9.10 to 10.04. Would a fresh install resolve the issue | 00:52 |
| dougb_freebsd | lumos: when you open a terminal and type 'su root' what happens? | 00:52 |
| lumos | dougb_freebsd: authentithication failure | 00:52 |
| lumos | dougb_freebsd: after it asks for pw | 00:52 |
| dougb_freebsd | what happens if you just type 'su' | 00:53 |
| dmex | NewBuntu: yes | 00:53 |
| lumos | dougb_freebsd: same | 00:53 |
| dougb_freebsd | are you sure you're booted into the livecd ? | 00:53 |
| NewBuntu | dmex: What has the upgrade not fixed the problem? | 00:53 |
| dougb_freebsd | and if so, what version? | 00:54 |
| lumos | dougb_freebsd: yes | 00:54 |
| lumos | dougb_freebsd: ubuntu 9.1 | 00:54 |
| drem | I am guessing the reason why I can't apply themes with emerald or use effects with compiz is because I do not have my driver installed right? | 00:54 |
| dmex | NewBuntu: its probably causing the problem using old configuration files. | 00:54 |
| zzzed__ | dougb_freebsd, lumos: it 'sudo su', will give you UID=0, which is root for all filesystems, but if you don't understand this, you probably shouldn't do it | 00:54 |
| freezway | drem, most likely yes | 00:55 |
| dougb_freebsd | ok, you might try burning a 10.04 version then, what I'm describing worked fine for me with the 10.04 livecd | 00:55 |
| NewBuntu | dmex: I am considering edubuntu dvd copy. How is this comparing to Ubuntu | 00:55 |
| drem | freezway, thank you for your help | 00:55 |
| datta | why does not hp-toolbox open anything? | 00:55 |
| lumos | zzzed__: my brother told me i need to rename the file, to fix my graphics | 00:55 |

| lumos | zzzed__: he wont help me though :( | 00:55 |
| dougb_freebsd | lumos: ok, what happens if you type 'sudo su' | 00:55 |
| lumos | dougb_freebsd: ok thanks, i think i might have some more updated live cd;s | 00:55 |
| freezway | drem, you're welcome, sorry theres no driver | 00:55 |
| dmex | NewBuntu: an educational build? | 00:56 |
| zzzed__ | lumos, well to get root permissions 'sudo su' | 00:56 |
| lumos | dougb_freebsd: i already told you, it asks for pass word then authentithication failure | 00:56 |
| dougb_freebsd | lumos: that command that zzzed__ suggested is different from the ones I suggested | 00:56 |
| BiggFREE | Try sudo su - | 00:56 |
| datta | no gui, in terminal it does not stay for much long | 00:56 |
| lumos | dougb_freebsd: how is it? | 00:56 |
| billy_ | bye folks - guess i'll just use windows - it's not broken by design | 00:57 |

| jefinc | I loaded ubuntu netbook edition onto a LGX120 and it is extremely slow, any suggestions? | 01:40 |
| dominicdinada | dclake: ubuntu one you mean ? | 01:40 |
| dclake | you know the menu with your status and you can tweet from it | 01:41 |
| dclake | that one | 01:41 |
| tt33l3r | Having a problem with "Keep Aligned" setting on gnome changing back to set on every reboot. Anyone know how to fix this? | 01:41 |
| Scrumps | dominicdinada, I don't see anything about torrents/filesharing being against the channel rules or code of conduct on the wiki. | 01:41 |
| jMyles | dclake: Sounds like gwibber stopped on you | 01:41 |
| pseudosmart | Well, I restarted X, but no dice | 01:41 |
| dominicdinada | dclake: no i don't know that one. I don't tweeter | 01:41 |
| jMyles | dclake: You can run it again from applications -=> internet | 01:42 |
| jefinc | dclake: if you right click on the panel and click on add, the one you are looking for is "Indicator Applet Session" | 01:42 |
| pseudosmart | and I have tried xrandr to add resolutions, but that hasn't worked either | 01:42 |
| Izinucs | Scrumps: it's not.. and really your question deals with samba.. but most likely it might be a windows issue since you can see the windows share but can't save.. | 01:42 |
| savid | Hi, I need to check in some code with svn, and I'm getting this: "Password for '(null)' GNOME keyring:" . I've never seen it before, and my normal password does not work with it. What's causing this? | 01:42 |
| dclake | gwibber is running but I still dont have the box for my posts | 01:42 |
| pseudosmart | should I purchase the support from canonincal to figure this out? Is it worth it? | 01:42 |
| jefinc | dclake: see above ^^ | 01:42 |
| pseudosmart | nobody on the forums has been able to figure it out either | 01:43 |
| jMyles | pseudosmart: I have no idea, but I'm curious about your issue. What do you mean "too big"? | 01:43 |
| Josesordo | What is more cute or beatiful: Emerald or GTK Windows decorator? | 01:43 |
| Izinucs | pseudosmart: could be that the wrong driver is loaded for your card.. what do you have? | 01:43 |
| pseudosmart | the screen is cut off on the right side and the bottom of the display | 01:44 |
| pseudosmart | so I don't see the panel at the bottom of the screen, and the right side of the top panel is cut off | 01:44 |
| Scrumps | Izinucs, well, that is what I thought... so, I set the permissions for the drive temporarily to "Everyone" and then tried again, it still didn't work. So, that is why I came here, but, I will try samba. | 01:44 |
| dclake | I reloaded the indicator applet session b ut it does not have the text box | 01:44 |
| savid | I'm aslo getting "Error communicating with gnome-keyring-daemon" when trying to run seahorse. Any idea what's going on here? | 01:45 |
| jefinc | dclake: have you tried logging off/on ? | 01:45 |
| dclake | yeah ..and rebooting | 01:45 |
| Izinucs | Scrumps: drive permissions on the windows machine probably isn't the issue.. it's more in line with it's internal permissions.. win pro is easier.. win home isn't | 01:45 |
| Scrumps | Izinucs, it is Windows Server 2008 R2. | 01:46 |
| jefinc | dclake: you could try restarting X since reloading the indicator applet sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 01:46 |
| Scrumps | Owernship of the drive, sharing, and file permissions are set to Everyone. | 01:46 |
| dclake | ok | 01:46 |
| dclake | trying | 01:46 |
| Izinucs | Scrumps: ah.. then there should be an easy way to do this.. check in ##windows. | 01:46 |
| Izinucs | Scrumps: might also be that you need to add the server name to samba as a valid user | 01:47 |
| savid | Anyone have any idea? I really need to check in this code... | 01:47 |
| Scrumps | Izinucs, what do you mean? Add the server name to samba? Under the samba config file? | 01:48 |
| dclake | that didnt work | 01:48 |
| maco | savid: kill the seahorse-agent and just let normal ssh-agent handle it? | 01:48 |
| Izinucs | Scrumps: if you added samba to your system and not just smbfs then typically samba has it's own method of registering users and passwords.. first thing you should do is add yourself as the user on the machine... | 01:49 |
| MarkSS | hey all | 01:49 |
| Scrumps | Izinucs, smbfs is installed and added. | 01:49 |
| pseudosmart | Does anyone have any thoughts on whether or not the canonical $140 support is worth it, I haven't been able to find a solution to my problem here or in the forums? | 01:49 |

| dclake | I have the menu but not the text box | 01:50 |
| poi77 | pseudosmart: what is the issue | 01:50 |
| pseudosmart | my desktop is bigger than my screen, so it is cut off on the right side and the bottom | 01:51 |
| pseudosmart | I have tried installing proprietary NVIDIA drivers, I have tried xrandr, but nothing seems to work | 01:51 |
| Scrumps | So... I should try replacing smbfs with cifs? | 01:51 |
| dominicdinada | pseudosmart: have you tried adjusting your monitor :O | 01:52 |
| Scrumps | As my current fstab folder looks like that exactly, except I am using smbfs instead of cifs. | 01:52 |
| Izinucs | pseudosmart: ah ha.. did the nvidia drivers install totally and correctly? if so you might also install nvidia-settings.. go there and set the resolution | 01:52 |
| HermanDE | anybody know of Openssh supports dns srv records? | 01:52 |
| poi77 | pseudosmart: in my experience nvidia-settings works | 01:53 |
| Izinucs | HermanDE: in /etc/ssh/sshd_config there is a line at the bottom about dns.. check it out | 01:53 |
| savid | marco, nope -- still doesn't work. Any other ideas? How can I just make SVN use normal authentication? It's always worked for me before -- just all of the sudden stopped working | 01:53 |
| Fendaril | man how do you get the xterm menu | 01:53 |
| MarkSS | I restarted my computer and now I am asked to start with low graphics mode and when I hit okay it takes me to a set of menus. Nothing in those menus will fix my problem though. What can I do? | 01:53 |
| savid | maco ^ | 01:53 |
| pseudosmart | is nvidia-settings an application I can install? I'm kind of new at this | 01:53 |
| geirha | Fendaril: xterm doesn't have a menu | 01:54 |
| HermanDE | Izinucs, Thanks. | 01:54 |
| Izinucs | pseudosmart: yes.. sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings.. then you'll find it in system>Admin>Nvidia something | 01:54 |
| Fendaril | geirha:so you cannot ctr+right-click to get a menu of configuration in ubuntu? | 01:54 |
| maco | savid: try hitting ctrl+alt+f1 and checking it in from there | 01:54 |
| maco | savid: it wont be able to try to use gnome stuff then | 01:54 |
| jefinc | I loaded ubuntu netbook edition onto a LGX120 and it is extremely slow, any suggestions? | 01:54 |
| dougb_freebsd | pseudosmart: open the ubuntu software center and search for nvidia-settings | 01:55 |
| geirha | Fendaril: Never heard of that key-binding. What programs does that work on? | 01:55 |
| pseudosmart | well, I installed it, but I don't see it in system>Admin menu | 01:56 |
| savid | maco, ah, why didn't I think of that :-/ thanks! | 01:56 |
| dougb_freebsd | pseudosmart: open up a terminal and type nvidia-seettings | 01:57 |
| geirha | Fendaril: Oh, I get a menu with uxterm. Interesting. | 01:57 |
| pksadiq | Type sudo | 01:57 |
| pksadiq | then nvidia-settings | 01:57 |
| dougb_freebsd | you usually don't have to use sudo for nvidia-settings | 01:58 |
| dougb_freebsd | but if it doesn't work as a regular user that's worth trying | 01:58 |

| edbian | mickster04, That's what I though. | 02:28 |
| boodroscotch | Hey guys, just a little question. I'm on Lucid, and I've just installed FGLRX (for I am using an ATi) card, and I was wondering; can you remove the native xorg ati drivers safely after installing fglrx? | 02:28 |
| Fableflame | okay, I emptied trash again and I have more space now | 02:28 |
| edbian | Fableflame, There is a hidden trash folder on the / of the device. It's called .Trash You have to change a setting in nautilus to see it. | 02:28 |
| edbian | Fableflame, Which trash are you emptying? | 02:28 |
| Fableflame | Now only 264 MBs are being taken up | 02:28 |
| Fableflame | edbian: the trash in the bottom right corner of the desktop | 02:29 |
| edbian | Fableflame, That's the trash on the computer. | 02:29 |
| edbian | Fableflame, There is a hidden .Trash folder on the device. | 02:29 |
| Fableflame | edbian: jeeeeez, how many trash cans do I need? How do I see that trash folder? | 02:29 |
| edbian | Fableflame, I am quite annoyed I had to say that twice. | 02:29 |
| edbian | Fableflame, view -> show hidden files | 02:29 |
| mickster04 | Fableflame: go to the device in nautilis and type ctrl+h | 02:30 |
| magn3ts | How do I reinstall / such that it respects the existing /home that is on another drive? | 02:30 |
| kisuke | does anyone know how to defragment a NTFS partition in ubuntu? | 02:30 |
| edbian | Fableflame, Ubuntu will use a .Trash folder on every partition on every device that supports having one. | 02:30 |
| Fableflame | edbian: I got this "Unable to trash file: Invalid argument" | 02:30 |
| zzzed | kisuke, I don't think you can | 02:30 |
| metrahla | may ubuntu 10.10 be less system consumning? | 02:31 |
| kisuke | zzzed, well an answer is better than nothing thanks | 02:31 |
| metrahla | comparing with 10.04 | 02:31 |
| Blue1 | metrahla: big changes in 10.10 | 02:31 |
| mickster04 | Fableflame: try shift delete? | 02:31 |
| mickster04 | Blue1: such as? | 02:31 |
| Blue1 | mickster04: sizes will no longer be reported in binary - they will be reported in decimal | 02:32 |
| Fableflame | edbian, mickster04, ok they're gone, thanks | 02:32 |
| mickster04 | Blue1: what?! thats stupid | 02:32 |
| Blue1 | mickster04: welcome to shuttleworth's world | 02:33 |

| pie_time | i cant get my radar map to work for the weather panal applet in ubuntu | 02:34 |
| Blue1 | pie_time: not all locations have radar | 02:35 |
| jamie_ | My .conkyrc contains a line 'own_window_type desktop override' but when I click the desktop conky disappears (but it's still in 'top'...) | 02:35 |
| edbian | pie_time, My radar doesn't work either :( | 02:35 |
| pie_time | Blue1, this is in north america for pete's sake | 02:35 |
| metrahla | Blue1, may there be anything meaning, that i will become faster, or slower? | 02:36 |
| Blue1 | pie_time: YMMV applies - NOT all locations have radar | 02:36 |
| pie_time | Blue1, but ive had radar in the past | 02:36 |
| edbian | pie_time, So have I :( | 02:36 |
| Blue1 | pie_time: feeds go down all the time -- not a priority | 02:36 |

| 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! | 02:41 |
| Blue1 | pie_time: well first you have to determine if your machine is 64 bit | 02:42 |
| pie_time | Blue1, why? | 02:42 |
| agus | yes, I installed ubuntu 32 bit to 64 bit computer | 02:42 |
| mickster04 | agus: then why not? | 02:42 |
| nogo | what? | 02:42 |
| Blue1 | because you can't run 64 bit on a 32 bit system | 02:42 |
| jamie_ | agus he wants to know if he can upgrade to 64 (I think he already has 32 installed) | 02:42 |
| mickster04 | agus: oh wait upgrade? | 02:42 |
| Blue1 | pie_time: try this: if grep -q ' lm ' /proc/cpuinfo; then echo "is 64 bits"; else "No luck :("; fi | 02:42 |
| agus | how to install using terminal | 02:43 |
| mickster04 | agus: no that wont work as for installing from terminal sudo apt-get | 02:43 |
| Blue1 | agus: upgrade NOT recommended | 02:43 |
| edbian | agus has 32 bit Ubuntu installed on 64 bit hardware. He wants to upgrade to 64 bit OS | 02:43 |
| kisuke | !apt |agus | 02:43 |

| pie_time | Blue1, i dont know what you're talking about | 02:43 |
| agus | so there is no way beside reinstall with 64 bit? | 02:44 |
| mickster04 | agus: you will have to reinstall to change from 32 to 64 bit | 02:44 |
| Blue1 | pie_time: sorry that was from agus | 02:44 |
| mickster04 | agus: no | 02:44 |

| Josesordo | How I change the Login Screen in Ubuntu 10.04? | 02:44 |
| jamie_ | agus - the best way to do it is to backup/reinstall anyway - needs new kernel, etc, etc. | 02:44 |
| Blue1 | jamie_: you just need to backup /etc/ and /home/ and should be gtg | 02:44 |
| Scrumps | What command can I use to unmount all filesystems? As umount -f and umount -a is not working on the filesystems that are needing to be unmounted? | 02:45 |

| pie_time | jamie_, i need conky help | 02:48 |
| bosco | hey i used ""devede"" to burn an iso dvd file and i burned it to a dvd and now it is telling me that it wont play in my dvd due to ""area Limitations"" i know what that means just how to i fix that ????? | 02:48 |
| jamie_ | pie_time what's your issue? | 02:48 |
| kisuke | fruitwerks, weird | 02:48 |
| fruitwerks | bosco: probably need to set the region in the burning app | 02:49 |
| Blue1 | bosco: I've had problems with that - try re-burning the iso onto a CD and NOT a dvd. shouldn't matter, but it does. | 02:49 |
| bosco | fruitwerks, didnt have one lol | 02:49 |
| pie_time | i have no clue how to get the conky thing to work with config files | 02:49 |
| Fableflame | rww: umm, I have registered my nick here, and it won't let me join. . . | 02:50 |
| fruitwerks | I pointed it to /dev/sdc1 - but that didn't work, and busybox isn't horribly helpful | 02:50 |
| rww | Fableflame: You're not identified with nickserv. | 02:50 |
| jamie_ | pie_time you have to create a .conkyrc file in your home dir (in a terminal do 'cd ~' then 'touch .conkyrc' then 'sudo gedit .conkyrc' and paste your code in there. | 02:50 |
| rww | Fableflame: /msg nickserv help identify | 02:50 |
| Fableflame | rww: i thought that was automatic? | 02:50 |
| kisuke | Fableflame, are you signed in right now? | 02:50 |
| deevz | is there a way to change the print interface in ubuntu? the default one cant do what I need | 02:51 |
| rww | Fableflame: not if you don't properly set up your client to identify automatically | 02:51 |
| deevz | and no matter which program I try to print with, its the same print interface | 02:51 |
| Blue1 | deevz: what do you mean by "print interface?" | 02:51 |
| deevz | the window that is brought up when you click on "print" for an image | 02:51 |
| mickster04 | deevz: no, what do you need it to do? | 02:52 |
| Blue1 | deevz: not that I am aware of....that's pretty standard...you just don't like it, or it doesn't work? | 02:52 |
| mickster04 | deevz: i mean of course you can, but its a faff | 02:52 |
| jamie_ | pie_touch try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=867076&highlight=conky and it's related links on the first post | 02:52 |
| deevz | it cant even rotate the image... | 02:52 |
| fruitwerks | what alternate boot-from-usb methods are there? I have a windows machine and a linux machine handy right now | 02:52 |
| Blue1 | deevz: what programme are you trying to use to rotate an image? | 02:53 |
| mickster04 | deevz: well im sure you can set landscape or portraint | 02:53 |
| deevz | doesnt work | 02:53 |
| pie_time | jamie_, how much resources does conky use | 02:53 |
| ring0 | i'm using 10.04 with lvm and luks. boot is on a separate usb-stick, which actually works like a charm. now, i came back from a 10 day vacation and the system wouldn't start from the stick, until i used a live-cd and chroot with grub-install. i shut down the system correctly, any ideas how this could have happened? does flash memory have problems when not in use? | 02:53 |
| deevz | oh well nm, image viewer can rotate and it affects the print model | 02:53 |
| Blue1 | deevz: could you be more specific, what doesn't work? | 02:53 |
| mickster04 | deevz: well rotate it in the image program | 02:53 |
| deevz | its all good now | 02:54 |
| deevz | solved the problem | 02:54 |
| mickster04 | Blue1: it doesnt have the functionality to change wether it prints in portrait or landscape aooarently | 02:54 |
| deevz | thats right | 02:54 |
| jamie_ | pie_time: mine right now is using.... lemme see... 2%cpu (on a C2D e8400 OCed to 3.6) and 0% ram -- good luck :-) And be careful - it can get addicting getting it all customized XD | 02:54 |
| Blue1 | mickster04: I don't know about the image viewer - but other programmes like gimp do. | 02:54 |
| cablop | i got an stupid problem | 02:55 |
| mickster04 | Blue1: i thought it did too | 02:55 |
| jamie_ | cablop: don't we all XD | 02:55 |
| mickster04 | cablop: well tell us in detail about it an maybe we can help | 02:55 |

| mickster04 | deevz: what orogram are you using? | 02:55 |
| cablop | using the liveCd ubuntu detects my wireless device, i installed it, but now my ubuntu does not detect it! :( | 02:55 |
| mickster04 | fruitwerks: 10.04 | 02:55 |
| dougb_freebsd | TiK: just say no to overclocking | 02:56 |
| fruitwerks | mickster04: yeah - but what is the release name, as found here http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ | 02:56 |
| jamie_ | TiK try www.overclock.net that's where I learned the ropes (depends on your MB, NB, CPU (type, revision, and serial number) and your FSB if you're intel) | 02:56 |
| dougb_freebsd | it rarely gives you an actually useful performance benefit, and it can damage your system in hard-to-detect ways | 02:56 |
| mickster04 | fruitwerks: Lucid | 02:56 |
| deevz | whats an orogram mickster84? | 02:56 |
| deevz | program, im dumb | 02:56 |
| deevz | im on imageviewer | 02:56 |
| TiK | jamie_: yeah Im using an intel certrino hm Ill check it out | 02:57 |
| mickster04 | deevz: oh ok. | 02:57 |
| jamie_ | Extraclassic: yay! You're here! maybe you can help me real quick... | 02:57 |
| deevz | fuck this | 02:57 |
| deevz | ima relog into windows | 02:57 |
| maco | TiK: something most people dont know about overclocking if they havent taken a computer architecture class is that higher clockspeeds = more missed instructions | 02:57 |
| cablop | how can i make ubuntu detect my wireless device? live cd does... but installed system won't... :( | 02:57 |
| jamie_ | TiK: I would not recommend it with a centrino, but ask around on OCN (overclock.net) and they'll know more than I do | 02:57 |
| mickster04 | deevz: try instaling something like gimp, its much more powerfull | 02:57 |
| maco | !language | deevz | 02:57 |
| ubottu | deevz: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 02:57 |
| deevz | mickster: seems like its the print interface that is limited | 02:58 |
| deevz | gimp wouldnt help | 02:58 |
| maco | TiK: also, centrino isnt a CPU | 02:58 |
| deevz | the size scaling doesnt even work | 02:58 |
| extraclassic | jamie_: it's possible | 02:58 |
| maco | TiK: its basically a marketing word....its a bundle of whatever intel's latest cpu is along with an intel chipset and gpu | 02:58 |
| mickster04 | deevz: well gimo would do all that | 02:58 |
| jamie_ | maco: run orthos for 24 hrs and you get ram check and cpu ;-) | 02:58 |

| jamie_ | extraclassic: My .conkyrc contains a line 'own_window_type desktop override' but when I click the desktop conky disappears (but it's still in 'top'...) Any known issues? it's Conky 1.8.0 | 02:59 |
| fruitwerks | trying a netboot.. thanks all | 03:00 |
| deevz | oh wow mickster | 03:00 |
| extraclassic | jamie_: the lines need to say "own_window yes" and "own_window_type override" | 03:00 |
| kisuke | Jordan_U, yes you know how to (ab)use the bot how about reading the whole comment next? | 03:00 |
| deevz | thats weird how the paper type is set up at two different places, looks like a misconception | 03:00 |
| mickster04 | deevz: sheesh | 03:00 |
| deevz | but it should solve it | 03:00 |
| deevz | thx | 03:00 |
| mickster04 | deevz: well done on looking yourself first.... | 03:01 |
| jamie_ | extraclassic - it worked until I shutdown and powered on after dinner - if I just do override then other windows go underneath it (basically its always on top) | 03:01 |

| TiK | maco: there is a sticker that says "intel centrino" inside if its not a CPU what is it | 03:05 |
| pie_time | dougb_freebsd, is freebsd as easy as ubuntu if you add gnome to it? | 03:05 |
| dougb_freebsd | pie_time: /join ##freebsd and I'll be glad to answer that, it's OT here | 03:06 |
| maco | TiK: like i already said, its the combination of intel's latest cpu, intel's latest chipset, and intel's latest gpu. it's a marketing term for that bundle | 03:06 |
| pie_time | dougb_freebsd, may i pm you | 03:06 |
| extraclassic | pie_time: ubuntu is probably easier cause of synaptic | 03:06 |
| dougb_freebsd | you'll get better more interesting answers in ##freebsd :) | 03:06 |
| maco | TiK: 4 years ago, "centrino" meant core duo and 3945 chipset / 945 gpu. 2 years ago it meant core 2 duo and 4965 | 03:06 |
| Scrumps | zzzed, does firestarter have to be installed? As I don't see it in the System menu or Application menu. | 03:06 |

| zzzed | Scrumps, yes it needs to be installed | 03:07 |
| Scrumps | Alright. | 03:07 |

| kisuke | what is the command to have dpkg configure a package? | 03:09 |
| Scrumps | zzzed, is there a different program? As apparently firestarter limits ICMP? | 03:10 |
| extraclassic | kisuke: i think it's dpkg -i [filename] | 03:10 |
| kisuke | extraclassic, its installed, just didnt configure because its dependencys configured after it did | 03:11 |
| zzzed | kisuke, dpkg --configure <pkgname> | 03:11 |

| cablop | Soggystefan: that's up to you and your comparisson criteria | 03:19 |
| cablop | if what you want is freedom to choose options stick with ubuntu 8.04 or 8.10 | 03:20 |

| Soggystefan | Would you suggest a VM? | 03:20 |
| kisuke | Soggystefan, what processor do you have? | 03:21 |
| baba | where is /etc/sysconfig ?? | 03:21 |
| Soggystefan | Processor? I'm not very good with the finer points... | 03:22 |
| Soggystefan | I'll link you the computer info, though | 03:23 |
| cablop | Soggystefan: then... you'll end in the same problem as Google Chrome... lucid on VM just have two possible outcomes... one... it runs nice and well... or it will run retardedly bad... no intermediate point, but give it a try, you have a good Pc, and maybe it will run nice there | 03:23 |
| Josesordo | the ubuntu 10.04 dont have the GDM where I can change the login Screen Style.. :( | 03:23 |

| kisuke | well looks like its reinstall time | 03:25 |
| Soggystefan | actually | 03:25 |
| cablop | Soggystefan: but the best way is a live cd, you can test your hardware also | 03:26 |
| Soggystefan | Does that just mean burning a disc? Or is it something else? | 03:26 |
| cablop | Soggystefan: a cd of course, download it from ubuntu | 03:27 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | I just did a partial upgrade to 10.04.1 with the alternate CD and now I was trying to reinstall the nvidia driver but I cant seem to get gdm to stop like I used to do. Does "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" not work anymore? | 03:27 |

| nogo2 | do you notice? your cpu's external clock is too low | 03:29 |
| cablop | Soggystefan: if you have enough time and bandwidth then download the dvd iso, not the cd one, just cause the dvd has more packages and it's more useful | 03:29 |

| Sunderphon | is there an alternative to notify-osd around? | 03:39 |
| Sunderphon | The enforced expiry time (10 seconds for a 1 word notification? Really?) is quite constricting | 03:39 |
| cablop | grab an openvpn, install on your linux machine, your server or even your router then setup it to give a subset of your lan addresses, and then just connect the remote machine through the vpn as any other local machine, slacker | 03:39 |
| cablop | slackeri | 03:40 |

| Sunderphon | ThomasB2k: I still can't change the expire time on notifications | 03:47 |
| Soggystefan | Gary, do you have the nessecary plugins for the type of movie-file-thingamijig? | 03:48 |
| avi_ | wcGary83: Well, sshfs is dirt-simple. You literally only need install ssh on your computer, and then sshfs -o user@server:/path/to/remote /path/to/local | 03:48 |
| wcGary83 | Soggystefan: I was thinking of trying to set up vlc for that, doesn't it specialize in that type of stuff? | 03:48 |
| avi_ | wcGary83: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS would help you with the nitty gritty. I personally think that SaMBa is faster (and most def. more secure) than SSHFS. But i'm trying to use SSHFS as i couldn't figure out how to get samba to auto-mount on login. :D | 03:49 |
| Soggystefan | Does it? It probably does, I'm not the person to ask. Listen to avi! | 03:50 |
| wcGary83 | avi_ I am trying to mount the folder to play movies right from the desktop... ssh only transfers files, right? | 03:50 |
| avi_ | wcGary83: So I thought a week ago! SSH actually is a magical thing that does a bajillion super useful things. | 03:50 |
| avi_ | wcGary83: You can in one command, mount an SSH server's hard drive, and browse it natively in nautilus, with no mods whatsoever. | 03:50 |

| Soggystefan | What avi said >.> | 03:59 |
| dougb_freebsd | kenthree: why don't you describe what you're trying to accomplish | 03:59 |
| avi_ | rodeo_: Alternatively, you can try Beagle. I don't myself use either service (I use Gnome-Do to search files), and I can't remember which was better. | 03:59 |
| Soggystefan | Just go through like, 3 clicks, and you have it. If you just want a terminal | 03:59 |

| kenthree | dougb_freebsd: I need to start a php script on login | 04:00 |

| TiK | User_007: You can play music from the iPod and transfer music to it by drag-and-dropping files from the Library onto the iPod icon. Please note: you might need to restart the Rythmbox for it to recognize the album art on the newly uploaded tracks. | 04:14 |
| ikar | sacarlson, ok. Thanks for your help. I'll test it now. Good bye | 04:14 |
| sacarlson | ikar: did you look with startup-manager? | 04:14 |
| ikar | sacarlson, yes | 04:14 |
| TiK | User_007: just use rythmbox | 04:14 |

| plouffe | I'm trying to run ubuntu live cd on an old laptop, but it doesn't recognize the mouse. I've restarted 3 times using different external mice, but every time the mouse cursor just hangs. How could I get that to work? | 04:14 |
| cihan | hi | 04:15 |
| westley333 | hi | 04:15 |
| cihan | :) | 04:15 |
| User_007 | TiK, but as i said when i put A video on rhythmbox it is not shown on the list | 04:15 |
| sacarlson | ikar: I would think you would see it then, did you enter as I stated sudo grub-install /dev/sda | 04:15 |
| cihan | vlc | 04:16 |
| cihan | on wine | 04:16 |

| Soggystefan | I'm not seeing an ISO file for macpuppy x< | 04:16 |
| avg_guy | hey I was wondering if I wanted to make a multi boot dvd with os such as ( konboot , ophcrack, dls, bt4, gparted, and maybe others depending on what would fit) so I am wondering how I would do this in ubuntu or what app I could use to get this done? | 04:16 |
| ikar | sacarlson, i just wrote sudo grub-install | 04:16 |
| sacarlson | ikar: I'm not sure where that will install it | 04:17 |
| avi_ | avg_guy: Not sure about DVDs, but usb-multipass would be great for a USB (which is usually a better solution than a DVD, providing you have one available :D) | 04:17 |
| ikar | sacarlson, ok, i'll try it your way. | 04:17 |
| dz2 | is avahi a necessary part of ubuntu? | 04:18 |
| edguix | ~edguix | 04:18 |
| Soggystefan | Should I burn the dmg file to a disk, if I wanted to have macpuppy, or should I click on the ejectable thing that doesn't have a file type shown? | 04:19 |
| dz2 | i see a weird network device called eth0:avahi when I do ifconfig: is that normal? | 04:19 |
| User_007 | TiK, when there is a video on ipod it can be sent for linux, but it is not shown on lib's list, but i can't send any video from Linux to ipod | 04:19 |
| ikar | i'll try reboot now, brb | 04:20 |
| hiku | dz2: its not a big deal | 04:20 |
| zkriesse | cihan: Hi | 04:20 |
| sacarlson | dz2: not for me it's not but I have a static IP setup so maybe it's different | 04:21 |
| hiku | dz2: if you really want to learn more about avhai or "zero config" there are tons of websites regarding it. | 04:21 |
| dz2 | hiku: the question is do I need it? | 04:22 |
| hiku | dz2: nope. | 04:22 |
| Soggystefan | Question---> Should I burn the dmg file to a disk, if I wanted to have macpuppy, or should I click on the ejectable thing that doesn't have a file type shown? | 04:22 |
| avi_ | dz2: It's useful if you have Mac OS running devices on your network, but it's by no means an essential part of Ubuntu. | 04:22 |
| tpw_rules | is there any way to watch streaming netflix on ubuntu? | 04:22 |
| dz2 | I'm trying to set up this box as a router and it is causing problems with dhcp | 04:22 |
| hiku | dz2: how so? | 04:23 |
| dz2 | thanks avi, looks like a big security risk | 04:23 |
| sacarlson | dz2: mine is setup as a router. I would think you would need to setup a static IP for that. | 04:23 |
| hiku | dz2: setting of ubuntu as a router really isn't hard "iptables" all the way | 04:24 |
| dz2 | syslog is telling me I need a subnet for 169.254.6.66. tghis address has nothing to do with me. What is it? | 04:24 |
| avi_ | dz2: Maybe, I wouldn't tend to think so, but I don't really know how zeroconf/bonjour/avahi work. Surely you won't need them for your intended use, and you should be using ufw/iptables anyway. | 04:24 |
| Tempus_Fugit | hey if I installed something with adobeair how do you uninstall or | 04:25 |
| Tempus_Fugit | remove it | 04:25 |

| sacarlson | mbrigdan: I guess you should make a backup of ~./mozilla dir next time. | 04:33 |
| mbrigdan | Coded1, Synaptic, but I've also tried the site (and the ppa) in an attempt to get it to work | 04:33 |
| mbrigdan | sacarlson, I do, in fact, have a backup. 3 of them (Incremental rsync). Copying them over did nothing | 04:34 |
| van7hu | quit | 04:34 |
| cafard74 | Coded1 : hummm, its pretty long! | 04:34 |
| Coded1 | mbrigdan, it could be that you installed the file manually as root ;) try to run it as root from the command line : # sudo firefox &" | 04:34 |
| sacarlson | mbrigdan: where do they keep those then? | 04:34 |
| Coded1 | cafard74, paste it anyway | 04:34 |

| Crankygeek01 | Hello room | 04:37 |
| WXZ | is it a smart idea to install windows xp on top of windows xp + ubuntu? | 04:37 |
| pie_time | bullgard4, it is a picture of a frame of the video that is used as an icon for the video instead of some generic icon of a video | 04:37 |
| cafard74 | Sorry for that | 04:38 |
| mbrigdan | WXZ, It will overwrite grub, so you won't be able to access your ubuntu without a little fixing. | 04:38 |
| bullgard4 | Janhouse: A backup tool for linux that is usable from command line, is rsnapshot. You will love it after having it installed and got running. | 04:38 |

| bullgard4 | pie_time: Ok. But I do not know the answer to your question. | 04:39 |
| mbrigdan | WXZ, you'll have to run a live cd, and (I forget the command right now), but it should be very simple | 04:39 |
| Coded1 | WXY, you can look into VMWare Player if you have >1GB ram | 04:39 |
| sacarlson | pie_time: I noticed in nautilus that you can chose to make or not make thumbnails depending on files size. I'm not sure what needs to be added to make it work. | 04:39 |
| WXZ | virtual machines are too slow for what I want coded | 04:39 |
| Coded1 | WXY, np | 04:40 |
| WXZ | ok, well I'll back everything up just in case | 04:40 |

| Soggystefan | How do I erase this disk? I have an old copy of the first Stagecast on it, and I want to take it off so I can put macpup on it. How do I erase it? It's not giving me and option to erase, like, it's in the un-clickable thing, where it's faded. | 04:41 |
| sacarlson | pie_time: on and also the location was dependent if the file was local or mounted from a network was also a config in nautilus for that. | 04:41 |
| bullgard4 | Blue1: Start with Alt+F1. | 04:41 |
| pie_time | sacarlson, neither local nor networked videos have thumbnails | 04:41 |
| sacarlson | pie_time: maybe it already works and you just need to set the config | 04:41 |
| pie_time | sacarlson, what config? | 04:41 |
| Soggystefan | Can anyone help? | 04:41 |
| sacarlson | pie_time: well video file size may be big so that would triger no thumbnails if set that way | 04:42 |

| osubuck_ | a GUI application? | 04:43 |
| pie_time | sacarlson, yeah i dont know what to add | 04:44 |
| bullgard4 | Soggystefan: You usually do not erase disks but rather files or filesystems on a partition of a disk. | 04:44 |
| Soggystefan | Well, it's not giving me any options to mess with the disk. | 04:44 |
| Soggystefan | In fact | 04:44 |
| Soggystefan | It doesn't look like it says it's even in there. | 04:44 |

| mininessie | sacarlson, well how do i know that it is actually searching repos or whatever they search for | 04:52 |
| dougb_freebsd | timh____: my vague recollection is that the vmware host component already had the right dhcp server bits | 04:52 |
| mininessie | sacarlson, i just update to 10.10 about an hour ago | 04:52 |
| sacarlson | mininessie: you can check your repo list and you should see activity when it tries to update with sudo apt-get update | 04:53 |
| mininessie | sacarlson, how | 04:53 |
| timh____ | dougb_freebsd>don't I wish. the manual is saying I need to setup server on the host. | 04:53 |
| dougb_freebsd | ah | 04:54 |
| sacarlson | mininessie: in synaptic is what I normaly look at repos | 04:54 |
| dougb_freebsd | well, you can bind it to 127.0.0.1, or wherever the vmware host stuff needs it to be | 04:54 |
| dougb_freebsd | .... or you could just use virtualbox, which IMO is much easier to use | 04:54 |

| jlw | shinzeh, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Lucid <-- that should have everything you need about codecs | 05:09 |
| shinzeh | Thanks jlw. This is way better than what google said. :P | 05:09 |
| sacarlson | shinzeh: I think this is what your looking for https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats | 05:13 |
| shinzeh | Thank you. :) | 05:14 |
| hediyant | I'm currently booted from Ubuntu LiveUSB in nopersistent mode -- how can I get files from the root filesystem onto the USB stick? | 05:18 |
| jlw | hediyant, I don't think you can. At all. | 05:19 |
| seidos | hediyant, hmmm, you mean the file system on the hard disk? | 05:19 |
| john--__ | good evening | 05:20 |
| hediyant | jlw: I have the files I want to keep in RAM in /home. | 05:20 |
| hediyant | jlw: I want to put them back onto my USB stick without using any other storage medium. | 05:21 |
| jlw | But you didn't set the usb stick up to have a separate save space? | 05:21 |
| john--__ | anyone using subversion to store config files from servers? | 05:21 |
| hediyant | Good evening, john-- | 05:21 |
| hediyant | jlw: Well, I did originally. | 05:21 |
| hediyant | But I was having problems with a dodgy casper file so I deleted it :P | 05:22 |
| jlw | I don't think it's possible to write do that usb stick while it's moutned as a read-only filesystem | 05:22 |
| hediyant | jlw: but there should be room on the partition :) | 05:22 |
| hediyant | Yeah that seems to be the problem, jlw | 05:23 |
| jlw | Not without that file... | 05:23 |
| jlw | Maybe online space? | 05:23 |
| hediyant | Also, jlw, does UNR actually have any advantage for netbooks over regular ubuntu? | 05:23 |
| jlw | Ubuntu one? | 05:23 |
| hediyant | jlw: Clever idea! | 05:24 |
| jlw | UNR Is designed for smaller screens | 05:24 |
| hediyant | :P | 05:24 |
| hediyant | Yeah, it's just it seems to me like it's got added bloat just for the sakeof making Windows users feel at home or something :P | 05:24 |
| hediyant | Maybe Xubuntu would be moresuitable. | 05:24 |
| jlw | I tried it once and the UI was extremely unresponsive, but that was a long time ago. | 05:25 |
| hediyant | Oh, it's better in 9.10 than 9.04 | 05:25 |
| hediyant | Still, clutter is cluttery and I prefer traditional GNOME menus. | 05:25 |
| roky | is there a way to get Ubuntu one to sign on as soon as there is an available internet connection? I always find myself having to go open it manually. | 05:25 |
| jlw | Hrm, I thought that was the whole point of ubuntu one. | 05:26 |
| hediyant | jlw: I'd like to be able to boot in persistent mode next time, but like I said, I got rid of my casper file. How can I get it back? | 05:27 |
| mininessie | having a problem Failed to download repository information | 05:28 |
| mininessie | Check your Internet connection. | 05:28 |
| jlw | hediyant, without formatting the stick again? Beats me. | 05:28 |
| hediyant | jlw: Okay... perhaps I should just go and think properly about serious solutions for using this netbook, rather than LiveUSB sticks. | 05:28 |
| === Prodego_ is now known as Prodego | ||
| hediyant | jlw: Anyway, thanks for helping. | 05:29 |
| shcherbak | lol, who can point me to mouse configuration in tty (links2+vesa) | 05:29 |
| jlw | no problem | 05:29 |
| hediyant | Bye | 05:29 |
| hediyant | :) | 05:29 |
| tpw_rules | is there any way to watch streaming netflix on ubuntu? | 05:29 |
| jlw | heh, welcome to my world, tpw_rules. My sad, sad world. | 05:30 |
| Wiesshund | Want to trade? | 05:30 |
| tpw_rules | heh | 05:30 |
| jlw | I don't think there is a good solution to streaming netflix in linux. | 05:31 |
| Wiesshund | How bad is your world? i may trade you | 05:31 |
| jlw | Well, other than this netflix issue I have, not so bad. | 05:31 |
| Wiesshund | hmm, wanna trade encoding a huge amount of non replaceable disney films to dvd storage? | 05:32 |
| jlw | I surely do not | 05:32 |
| Wiesshund | 80gb raw dump per film, and have to fit that into a 4gb or less mpeg2 in the end | 05:33 |
| tpw_rules | get a fast computer | 05:33 |
| jlw | Sounds slow | 05:33 |
| mbrigdan | Does anyone know if there is a way to make gpg encrypt a file using a key specified in a file, rather than having to import my key, use it, then delete it again? | 05:33 |
| dumont | how can I clean some space in /dev/root partition, it got full :( | 05:34 |
| Wiesshund | tpw hehe there is no such thing, atleast not in this regard. atleast the raw digitzing part is relatively painless since its done in hardware | 05:35 |
| tpw_rules | how long does it take per movie? | 05:35 |
| jlw | dumont, you can try sudo apt-get clean, to remove old temporary packages, I believe | 05:35 |
| dumont | i don't think its packages that take up space | 05:35 |
| piglit | dumont sometimes i remove the kernels i dont use anymore manually | 05:36 |
| Wiesshund | jlw what does netflix stream to? propriety app and container or ? | 05:36 |
| tpw_rules | it uses silverlight | 05:36 |
| tpw_rules | but i don't think moonlight will work | 05:36 |
| Wiesshund | silverlight the MS thing? | 05:36 |
| bsmith093 | is there a way to search about 12000+ txt files for similarity such as a nintey percent exact match | 05:37 |
| sacarlson | mbrigdan: I just use gedit plugin to gpg encrypt files and seahorse to play with keys. | 05:37 |
| jlw | Wiesshund, I'm not sure. It seems like supporting linux would be relatively easy, though. That's what makes it aggravating. | 05:38 |
| Wiesshund | tpw_rules what about installing IE8 under wine and silverlight as well? no go? | 05:38 |
| mallory | can anyone give advice on how to fix my lucid install? | 05:38 |
| tpw_rules | dunno | 05:38 |
| dumont | apt-get clean didn't help | 05:38 |
| jlw | As far as I can tell, wine is a no go for netflix. | 05:38 |
| tpw_rules | it's supported on osx | 05:38 |
| dumont | i just deleted some logs and got some free space, but where are the rest of the 18GB on the root partition? | 05:39 |
| dumont | i remember it was only 22% full | 05:39 |
| dumont | now its 99% full, why? | 05:39 |
| Wiesshund | cat dev/root/.p0rn ? | 05:39 |
| Cloud | hey all, is there any way to enable framebuffer? | 05:39 |
| dumont | its a fking server | 05:39 |
| dumont | not a desktop | 05:39 |
| Cloud | the usual vga=789 stuff doesn't work in grub | 05:40 |
| avi_ | Wiesshund: rofl! | 05:40 |
| Wiesshund | im teasing dumont | 05:40 |
| bsmith093 | delete old downloaded packages | 05:40 |
| dumont | I ALREADY DID! | 05:40 |
| Wiesshund | Cloud 1 sec | 05:40 |
| dumont | apt-get clean did NOT help | 05:40 |
| bsmith093 | then sort folders by size | 05:40 |
| Cloud | Wiesshund: why is the pr0n in /dev/root? | 05:40 |
| jlw | heh | 05:40 |
| pepeamid | Hi !! someone have a macbook 3.1 with the configuration file? | 05:40 |
| Cloud | root appears to be a home directory to me | 05:40 |
| bsmith093 | prune whichevers taking up a massive amount of space | 05:40 |
| Cloud | home dirs can be in /dev? | 05:41 |
| pepeamid | Hi, someone have a macbook 3.1 with the Kernel's configuration file? | 05:41 |
| avi_ | Cloud: Yeah always put it in /usr/share/pixmaps/gnome/evolution :D | 05:41 |
| dumont | bsmith093 i don't know what it is and how am I supposed to sort by size? if I don't know where to issue ls -l to? | 05:41 |
| bsmith093 | check insode the biggest folder first then go from there | 05:41 |
| Cloud | avi_: care to explain what's so special about that directory? :p | 05:42 |
| mallory | i have some strange behavior with some applications. as if it's unable to modify configuration and settings files | 05:42 |
| Cloud | I come from OSX so I'm not all that familiar with linux paths | 05:42 |
| avi_ | Cloud: Uhh Uhh nothing :) | 05:42 |
| mbrigdan | sacarlson, My problem is that my key is on a usb drive, and I don't want to import, use, then delete it every time | 05:42 |
| bsmith093 | so is it posible to search of large blocks of exact matches in aporx 10gb of text files | 05:42 |
| avi_ | Cloud: Oh really? I do too! Well I used to at any rate lol. When did you make the switch? | 05:42 |
| dumont | bsmith093 how do I find whats taking up most of the space on the root partition? | 05:43 |
| bsmith093 | is there a gui | 05:43 |
| Cloud | avi_: not exactly a switch per se, I installed it in vmware to try it out, because i needed to compile some stuff that wouldn't work in OSX | 05:43 |
| avi_ | dumont: Disk usage analyser. | 05:43 |
| Cloud | it failed but after some googling, i found out that i was missing a lib | 05:43 |
| dumont | i'm in console mode | 05:43 |
| avi_ | dumont: That is, that's a GTK GUI app that ships with Ubuntu.. | 05:43 |
| avi_ | dumont: Oh. | 05:43 |
| sacarlson | mbrigdan: you could write a script that uses what you want I would think. | 05:43 |
| iammisc | This is just pathetic, grub2 can't boot a computer that grub1 can??? | 05:44 |
| Cloud | you? | 05:44 |
| avi_ | dumont: That's a rather interesting problem then. have you tried going to / and then la? | 05:44 |
| dumont | la? | 05:45 |
| Cloud | ls i guess | 05:45 |
| avi_ | Cloud: Ah I see. I stopped using OS X months ago.. i haven't even booted back. This is on a modern iMac, mind you. The linux filesystem structure is pretty difficult to muck through.. but I'm getting there lol. | 05:45 |
| dumont | bin cdrom etc home lib media opt root srv ........... | 05:45 |
| dumont | duh | 05:45 |
| avi_ | Cloud: The path I said before is about the same as Mail.app/Resources/icons | 05:45 |
| Cloud | avi_: so kind of like hiding your pron in a resources directory eh? | 05:46 |
| mallory | i need to reinstall gnome, but there's a dependency swfdec-mozilla that's in the way. help? | 05:46 |
| Cloud | "WHY THE HELL IS MAIL.APP 8GB IN SIZE?!" | 05:46 |
| shcherbak | for grub2 with properiary drivers google "tux idillc" easy fix and good explanation | 05:46 |
| StevenX | Hi. Can anyone point me to the most up-to-date link on installing a Mac OS X theme on Ubuntu? | 05:46 |
| avi_ | Cloud: Yeah. The absolute best place however, is in an external hard drive, make a folder called ".Trashes", and replace the icon to look like a blank document as opposed to a folder. It's impossible to find because .trashes are ignored by like every OS. | 05:47 |
| dumont | so? | 05:47 |
| xangua | StevenX: http://gnome-look.org/ | 05:47 |
| StevenX | thanks xangua | 05:47 |
| mallory | shcherbak: i don't think swfdec-mozilla is a driver | 05:47 |
| shcherbak | what this have to do with grub? | 05:48 |
| mallory | sorry, i thought your message was to me earlier | 05:48 |
| mallory | i'm not getting much of a response to my questions | 05:48 |
| shcherbak | ;) | 05:48 |
| shcherbak | what the Q | 05:48 |
| shcherbak | ? | 05:48 |
| Wiesshund | Cloud http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:crsrrDGg3OoJ:news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth-Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml+ubuntu+%2Bboot+%2Blogo+%2Bresolution&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us | 05:49 |
| mallory | i have problems with gnome | 05:49 |
| mallory | it seems like settings aren't being written. it causes weird behavior for some applications | 05:49 |
| Wiesshund | er wow sorry i didnt realize that link was so long | 05:49 |
| shcherbak | everyone have, more? | 05:49 |
| jlw | a flash codec is blocking you from reinstalling gnome? | 05:49 |
| mallory | yes | 05:49 |
| avi_ | jlw: I've had that problem.. I have no idea what went wrong, I got stuck in dependency hell.. | 05:50 |
| jlw | Weird. That's my professional opinion. | 05:50 |
| Cloud_ | darn | 05:51 |
| pepeamid | Hi, someone have a macbook 3.1 with kernel's configuration file? Thks | 05:51 |
| RealOpty | anyone know of free VPS/VDS hosting? | 05:51 |
| foureight84 | is empathy available on windows? | 05:51 |
| avi_ | jlw: I'll say. But I was but a humble Linux noob at the time and I didn't even bother troubleshooting, I just nuked the thing. | 05:51 |
| jlw | That's what I would have done, and have before, more than once. I try to use my wee little brain now, though. | 05:51 |
| Cloud_ | 3 years of on-and-off linux usage and i'm still a noob | 05:51 |
| shcherbak | something similar happend to my scid, it keeps old setting despite of chnges. chmod failed to resolve so time to purge ;) | 05:52 |
| mallory | i can't even nuke gnome. it says it isn't installed if i look in synaptic | 05:52 |
| Cloud_ | blame it on each distro having different ways to do things | 05:52 |
| mallory | but all sorts of gnome things are installed | 05:52 |
| shcherbak | mallory have u made online upgrade? | 05:53 |
| mallory | i'm not using kde although there were two applications installed that use kde4 libraries. i got rid of them because i thought the settings write problems were because of a kde/gnome conflict | 05:53 |
| avi_ | mallory: I also had that result of my problem.. Like i said, I just wiped the whole OS. Have you tried running the dpkg tool at single uyser mode? | 05:53 |
| jlw | I found a thread titled dependency hell made by someone having the same issue. | 05:53 |
| mallory | yes | 05:53 |
| maco | mallory: your gnome settings are in ~/.gconf and ~/.gnome2 | 05:53 |
| mallory | i would really like to avoid reinstalling the os | 05:53 |
| maco | mallory: and other . files with names of the apps | 05:53 |
| Cloud_ | avi_: is the grub2 on your mac an EFI app? | 05:53 |
| maco | mallory: reinstalling the software wont change your user's settings | 05:53 |
| mallory | right, i moved those settings files, deleted them, etc. | 05:54 |
| mallory | the problem remains | 05:54 |
| john____ | Hi. I was wondering if this was possible: I have a disk with 200GB ish of data on it and I just got a new blank 1TB disk which I wanted to set up in RAID so that the size of the RAIDED volume was 1.2TB - is this possible without reformatting the 200GBdisk? | 05:54 |
| avg_guy | how to run a .sh as root wouldn't I just go to rthe dir and sudo the .sh | 05:54 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: Not entirely sure how it works, but I use software called rEFIt, which, from what I gather, basically blesses it's own little folder at bootup, which then lets you boot to other OSs. | 05:54 |
| Cloud_ | avg_guy: chmod+x it? | 05:54 |
| Cloud_ | i mean u+s | 05:54 |
| iammisc | How do i get rid of the search lines in the /boot/grub/grub.cfg by using the the /etc/grub.d system? | 05:55 |
| Cloud_ | avi_: you use refit to boot ubuntu? | 05:55 |
| mallory | jlw: what is the link to that thread? | 05:55 |
| jlw | mallory, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1442090 ...though I didn't read through it to see if they found a solution. | 05:55 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: And Windows and, well, I used to boot mac but it killed itself.. not because of rEFIt, but just because I hacked the living hell out of it. It always booted into safemode, and now it just stalls after login. I'm planning on erasing that parition, shrinking it, and reinstalling a vanilla OSX on it. | 05:56 |
| Cloud_ | avi_: maybe its just permissions | 05:56 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: Explain. | 05:56 |
| Cloud_ | you could boot singleuser and cat the system.log | 05:56 |
| Cloud_ | avi_: you mentioned that you hack stuff | 05:57 |
| shcherbak | iammisc press e while in grub, or edit gurb.cfg and grub-update | 05:57 |
| Cloud_ | if you did stuff like replacing resources and the like | 05:57 |
| Cloud_ | sometimes the permissions/owners arent set properly | 05:57 |
| iammisc | How do I disable automatic updates? | 05:57 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: Well, I'd assume that I wouldn't have to do that, since it auto boots in safemode, which SHOULD do that, right? | 05:57 |
| Cloud_ | and sometimes the hacked resources give the app indigestion and it bombs out | 05:57 |
| dougb_freebsd | mbrigdan: are you still looking for gpg help? | 05:57 |
| Cloud_ | avi_: safemode wont help if a core executable keeps bombing out | 05:58 |
| Cloud_ | X's safemode just disables some drivers and clears the kextcache (iirc) | 05:58 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: And yeah, now that I think about it, that's probably the issue. I mod'd some art files (like the bootsplash) and changed some other stuff, but I didn't even think about permissions. | 05:58 |
| Cloud_ | if Finder's having indigestion | 05:58 |
| Cloud_ | then you'll just get blank screen after login | 05:58 |
| shcherbak | iammisc: update manager has option for it | 05:58 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: I always thought that OS X safemode rebuilt directories and tried repairing permissions. | 05:58 |
| Cloud_ | if you messed up loginwindow, then you'll get the blank screen with just a mouse cursor | 05:58 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: No, it can login, but after it starts loading the DE it just stalls and I get SBOD'd. | 05:59 |
| Cloud_ | maybe system.log will have some clues | 05:59 |
| shcherbak | iammisc: menu: system>admin..>update manager, synaptic may have option too | 05:59 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: I honestly don't even have interest in mucking around with fixing it because I honestly want to nuke it anyway.. It has wayyy too much space that I could be using for Windows or Ubuntu. | 06:00 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: Speaking of which, can Ext4 "grow" itself nonvoliality? | 06:00 |
| Cloud_ | i see | 06:00 |
| mrpinky | Hi :D I installed gstreamer binaries on my machine with apt-get install blah, and it's all working well. Now I want to modify the sources, recompile and run the modified version. I can download the sources, modify, recompile, install, but it installs to a different location than the apt-get version. Is there a more appropriate way to do this? | 06:00 |
| Cloud_ | avi_: beats me, I'm a linux n00b | 06:00 |
| Cloud_ | i only turned to linux because OSX didn't want to compile ddwrt modkit | 06:01 |
| Cloud_ | and i have no intention of using macports to install the libs that it needs | 06:01 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: Right right I forgot. :) Because I know that HFS+ can like, absorb the windows bootcamp partition afterwords. | 06:01 |
| dumont | where can I find the Disk usage analyser in the KDE start menu? | 06:01 |
| john____ | posted this earlier, but my firefox crashed so I missed if there was a reply: Hi. I was wondering if this was possible: I have a disk with 200GB ish of data on it and I just got a new blank 1TB disk which I wanted to set up in RAID so that the size of the RAIDED volume was 1.2TB - is this possible without reformatting the 200GBdisk? | 06:01 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: Ahh dd-wrt.. what kind of router are you using that on? I've been meaning to get a compatible one. | 06:01 |
| dumont | avi_ ^ | 06:02 |
| Cloud_ | WRT610N v2 | 06:02 |
| dumont | where can I find the Disk usage analyser in the KDE start menu? | 06:02 |
| Cloud_ | 480mhz MIPS 74K (whatever that is) | 06:02 |
| Cloud_ | i wonder if 74k is faster than the r10000 of some sgi boxes | 06:02 |
| Cloud_ | :p | 06:02 |
| Wiesshund | john its possible, but thats a risky unrecoverable way to set up a raid | 06:02 |
| administrator_ | ou mai gad | 06:02 |
| avi_ | dumont: Sorry man I haven't a clue, I'm a Gnome guy. But I'm sure it's there, probably under a different but similarly titled name. You could also try booting to the Ubuntu livecd and running it from there. | 06:03 |
| Cloud_ | avi_: would you believe it, i had to install linux to compile the modkit so i could get a copy of nano-mipsel onto the router | 06:03 |
| Wiesshund | John, oh no not with out reformating no | 06:03 |
| dumont | avi_ ITS A SERVER!!!!! | 06:03 |
| abhinav_singh | hey i am not able to open firefox in unbuntu.....when i am running firefox in terminal it is giving me following error Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 611: _dl_open: Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize (0, args.nsid)->r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed! | 06:03 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: Hah. Wait is that 610 or 160? Because I have the same model if the latter is true.. | 06:03 |
| dumont | dedicated! | 06:03 |
| john____ | thanks, I guess i will just need to reformat the disk | 06:03 |
| Cloud_ | 610 | 06:03 |
| avi_ | dumont: Ah crud I keep forgetting.. | 06:03 |
| Cloud_ | siz-one-naught | 06:03 |
| Cloud_ | six* | 06:04 |
| dougb_freebsd | couldn't you create the raid with the 1tb disk, copy the data over, then add the 200 gb disk to the raid array? | 06:04 |
| Wiesshund | John_ you do realize the risk of the raid your thinking of making right? | 06:04 |
| avi_ | dumont: Well, I suppose if you managed to get KDE onto it, you could get Gnome onto it, right O.o? | 06:04 |
| dumont | no | 06:04 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: Oh bummer. Was thinking you figured out a way to get that on a 160. ;) | 06:04 |
| Wiesshund | John_ if 1 drive fails you lose it all | 06:04 |
| Cloud_ | avi_: i have no idea how to use toolchains so i couldnt compile my own nano, lucky a .deb of it meant for openwrt worked | 06:04 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: Ah I see. | 06:05 |
| jlw | dumont, can't you just google kde compatible disk usage analyzers and then run it from command line once you've found the name? Assuming you have one installed at all? | 06:05 |
| Cloud_ | it segfaults if you use certain functions though, i bet that's 'cause of not-so-compatible libs and stuff | 06:05 |
| avi_ | jlw: dumont: That would make sense. | 06:05 |
| Cloud_ | but at least I DONT HAVE TO USE VI ANYMORE YAY | 06:05 |
| Wiesshund | i hate vi | 06:05 |
| shcherbak | mouse in console (links2+vesa), help? | 06:05 |
| Cloud_ | avi_: the 160 isn't compatible, at all | 06:05 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: Really, I would think that once you know vi you don't wana go back.. | 06:05 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: yeah, so i've heard lol. That's why I asked again lol. | 06:06 |
| Wiesshund | avi_ me personaly? i know vi and i hate it, its clunky and unintuitive, and slow. for me anyways | 06:06 |
| Cloud_ | avi_: do you know your hardware revision? | 06:06 |
| === _LibertyZero is now known as LibertyZero | ||
| Cloud_ | avi_: no way, in an age where even the cheapest netbooks have arrow keys, theres no reason to use vi anymore! | 06:07 |
| avi_ | Wiesshund: Interesting. I personally can't use Vi for crud, but I can see why people would prefer it to nano. | 06:07 |
| Josesordo | someone is a expert in WineHQ? | 06:07 |
| Cloud_ | unless you were trying to use it on an iphone, then it'd be an advantage :p | 06:07 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: Yup, it's v2. | 06:07 |
| Cloud_ | tough luck! | 06:08 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: Yup. I was googling it and I'm like you have _got_ to be kidding me.. Just my luck.. | 06:08 |
| Thqrmt | i'm trying to copy the entire file system using nautilus to an external hdd. I get an error about access to read a folder called "private". am I going about this wrong? | 06:08 |
| avi_ | Thqrmt: Did you just go to / and control + a and click+drag? | 06:09 |
| Cloud_ | avi_: thats why i went router shopping with my iphone in hand | 06:09 |
| Thqrmt | essentially, yes | 06:09 |
| Josesordo | I installed office 2007 with wine 1.2 and when I try to open Powerpoint or Word the application get freeze :( | 06:09 |
| Thqrmt | avi_ | 06:09 |
| Cloud_ | punching in all the router models into the ddwrt firmware page | 06:09 |
| avi_ | Thqrmt: Ah. In gksu? | 06:09 |
| Cloud_ | to see which one had the fastest cpu and was compatible | 06:09 |
| Thqrmt | avi_ donno what gksu refers to, i ram sudo nautilus and used that | 06:09 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: See I'm only 14, and I was like 12 when I got that router, and I couldn't even tell you what an ubuntu was let alone custom router firmware :D Next time around I'll have to do that though. | 06:10 |
| avi_ | Thqrmt: Yeah, it's graphical sudo. meaning nautilus as root. | 06:10 |
| Cloud_ | avi_: when i was 13 i got a random wifi router for my new centrino laptop (at that time) | 06:10 |
| Cloud_ | and guess what? it turned out to be a wrt54gs v3 or somthing | 06:11 |
| Cloud_ | the one with the most RAM/flash of all the WRT54's | 06:11 |
| Thqrmt | avi_ now what I did precisely was open gksu select the files, then I clicked the hdd icon on desktop and dragged to a folder in there | 06:11 |
| Thqrmt | if that makes a difference | 06:11 |
| Cloud_ | but it just had to burn out soon after | 06:11 |
| Cloud_ | a year later i think | 06:11 |
| avi_ | Thqrmt: and was this external HD mounted as root? | 06:11 |
| === Guest41687 is now known as fork | ||
| avi_ | Cloud_: Lucky :D | 06:12 |
| Thqrmt | avi_ I doubt it because that doesnt sound familiar | 06:12 |
| Cloud_ | no freaking way, i was so sad when it burnt out and all i could find by then were v7 units | 06:12 |
| Cloud_ | the ones running vxworks with a pitiful amount of ram and flash | 06:12 |
| Cloud_ | that could only run micro | 06:13 |
| avi_ | Thqrmt: What filesystem is the ext HD using? | 06:13 |
| Thqrmt | avi_ NFST by necessity | 06:13 |
| Thqrmt | I may have to return it yes? | 06:13 |
| avi_ | Thqrmt: Ahhh. That's your problem then. | 06:13 |
| Thqrmt | well I'm going to follow a guide to get nfst support | 06:13 |
| avi_ | Thqrmt: Well wait a sec, is this like a blank HD for new backup systtems? | 06:13 |
| Thqrmt | will that work? | 06:13 |
| Thqrmt | yes | 06:13 |
| === Greyscale is now known as Greysc[a]le | ||
| Thqrmt | they tried to put some BS software on there to auto backup and I formatted it away | 06:13 |
| avi_ | Thqrmt: I'm no expert on NTFS or linux or whatever, but from personal experience, NTFS support, especially with a complex operation like that is always bound for the failbag. | 06:14 |
| Wiesshund | Ok guys here is your laugh for tonight, i just turned an 8gb video into 200gb :( /facepalm | 06:14 |
| Thqrmt | avi_ what are your thoughts on formatting in general | 06:15 |
| jlw | that's counter-productive, yes? | 06:15 |
| avi_ | Thqrmt: If you're just going to use this drive for Ubuntu backups, consider A: formatting as native (ext4) and/or B: Using a GUI tool to make your life easier like DejaDup or backInTime | 06:15 |
| Thqrmt | avi_ I mean to ask what exactly is fat vs ntsfs | 06:15 |
| Cloud_ | avi_: you are so like me back in 2006 | 06:15 |
| Cloud_ | except that i was using OSX instead of linux | 06:15 |
| Cloud_ | LOL | 06:15 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: Haha. Well I used to be the BIGGEST Apple fanboy ever. But now I despise them. | 06:15 |
| Thqrmt | avi_ no univeral storage space for xp/7/Ubuntu | 06:15 |
| Cloud_ | i am not a fan of linux on desktops, i think linux is only well-behaved when put on embedded devices :p | 06:16 |
| avi_ | Thqrmt: Well basically, NTFS is like FAT on steroids. FAT only let's you have single files as large as 4GB, and it's not as "smart" as ntfs. | 06:16 |
| Wiesshund | FAT also frags like a raped ape | 06:16 |
| Thqrmt | avi_ should all external devices be able to be formatted to Fat? I get errors every time but is there a linux program that's more forceful than windows? | 06:16 |
| Cloud_ | avi_: but they're still the best out there though, albeit turning more and more to nazism | 06:16 |
| avi_ | Thqrmt: Right right, if you need Windows compatibility NTFS is where it's at. Out of curiousity, why are you backing up / instead of ~? | 06:17 |
| dougb_freebsd | Thqrmt: what are you trying to accomplish? | 06:17 |
| Cloud_ | idid you hear?? they are thinking to brick jailbroken iDevices remotely in the future | 06:17 |
| === sebrock_ is now known as sebrock | ||
| Wiesshund | Thqrmt it you need to have a universal FS for xp/7/linux i would use ntfs | 06:17 |
| Thqrmt | avi_ I'm just wiping all my computers clean for the time being and sorting through data at a later date | 06:17 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: Well... That's debatable. As much as I hate to say it, I agree though with that mainly because it's.. well it's pretty rock solid. But for people who are fortuneate enough to be in the "know", like us, we have the luxury of using Linux, which, for me at least, is 10000x more functional and beautiful than OSX will/ever/was/will be. | 06:18 |
| abhinav_singh | how to uninstall mozilla in ubuntu | 06:19 |
| Cloud_ | avi_: i don't quite agree with your last point :p | 06:19 |
| Cloud_ | or your second last | 06:19 |
| avi_ | Thqrmt: I see. Well, there's really not much doing in /. If you're looking to back up like documents and stuff, that's usually in ~. | 06:19 |
| Cloud_ | for the second last, i'd describe it as "open-ended and expandable" | 06:19 |
| Cloud_ | but not functional | 06:19 |
| Thqrmt | avi_ ? | 06:19 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: Well.. I can do everything on Linux I can do on OSX with more freedom to muck around with it. How not functional? | 06:20 |
| avi_ | Thqrmt: Well, what were these computers used for? | 06:20 |
| Cloud_ | avi_: i think everybody has different definitions of "functional" | 06:20 |
| Cloud_ | for me, functional is "getting it right without too much mucking" | 06:20 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: No doubt. For me it's geek-factor and sex appeal lol. | 06:20 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: Aha. | 06:20 |
| Thqrmt | avi_ me doing stuff, to summarize. | 06:21 |
| S4ry | Hello ubuntu | 06:21 |
| Cloud_ | ubuntu works, but typically only after "googling the problem text" | 06:21 |
| Cloud_ | for example, making shortcuts | 06:21 |
| avi_ | Thqrmt: Because I don't really see the point of backing the whole /... User documents and stuff is in ~. | 06:21 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: I disagree, but go on, what about shortcuts? | 06:22 |
| Cloud_ | in mac i can just drag while holding command-opt | 06:22 |
| akaruz | Cloud_, im agree with avi_ becouse im too using linux ubuntu and when im using it :D im really feel that im working on a real pc: D | 06:22 |
| abhinav_singh | how to uninstall firefox in ubuntu | 06:22 |
| Cloud_ | in ubuntu, for some reason, the make link button is disabled if the source directory isnt writable | 06:22 |
| Cloud_ | therefore, i have to open terminal and do a ln-s | 06:22 |
| Cloud_ | ln -s* | 06:22 |
| S4ry | Whats wrong with maverick iso , i installed it and there was no GUI for the Live -CD | 06:22 |
| Thqrmt | avi_ i understand, system files vs user files. so what exactly do I select in gksu to do that? (thanks btdubz) | 06:22 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: Which is the better solution always... Symbolic links > all lol. | 06:22 |
| logan_wolf | abhinav_singh, what version are you using | 06:22 |
| Cloud_ | avi_: now explain that to the 50 year old average uncle next door? :p | 06:23 |
| avi_ | Thqrmt: Well, all gksudo does is launch nautilus as the root user, obviously. This can, in my experience, fix lots of write problems with NTFS formatted drives. | 06:23 |
| shcherbak | how explain blue screen to anyone? | 06:24 |
| rww | S4ry: Maverick discussion and support are in #ubuntu+1, not here. | 06:24 |
| Cloud_ | grub hates my guts | 06:24 |
| Thqrmt | avi_ what did you mean with the tilde? what does that refer to? | 06:24 |
| Cloud_ | why is it giving me all widescreen resolutions on a 4:3 screen?! | 06:24 |
| Cloud_ | http://i35.tinypic.com/2a8j05f.png | 06:24 |
| Thqrmt | avi_ i am infering that / refers to the root folder | 06:24 |
| S4ry | rww, :) thanks mate | 06:24 |
| avi_ | Thqrmt: So if you haven't already tried that, I'd reccomend doing that before you go on and hit the forums, because that's about all the help I can offer I'm afraid, I'm no expert on filesystems or nautilus's inner workings :) | 06:25 |
| logan_wolf | abhinav_singh, if you are working on lucid you can do it simply through software centre | 06:25 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: The ~ is the universal shortcut for /home/$user, like /home/bob | 06:25 |
| avi_ | Thqrmt: ah that last comment was ment for yoy. | 06:25 |
| Thqrmt | yeah I got it now | 06:26 |
| Thqrmt | all is clear | 06:26 |
| avi_ | Thqrmt: Good good. | 06:26 |
| Cloud_ | avi_: huh? | 06:26 |
| Cloud_ | i didn't ask anything about home directories | 06:26 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: Wrong person sorry ^^ | 06:26 |
| avi_ | Dang irssi. | 06:26 |
| Cloud_ | use xchat!! | 06:26 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: I normally do, but I'm feeling rather 1337ish today. :D | 06:27 |
| abhinav_singh | logan_wolf 10.04 | 06:27 |
| artinfrieden | Hi, what *iso do I need, if I want to encrypt the whole computer while installing Ubuntu? | 06:27 |
| Cloud_ | avi_: if you're feeling 1337ish, try to do as much computing as possible on an embedded device running linux | 06:27 |
| Cloud_ | =p | 06:27 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: Bahaha. | 06:28 |
| Cloud_ | with your computer acting strictly as a dumb terminal | 06:28 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: I'd rather try breaking my teeth on installing Gentoo... WITH NO GUIDE/GOOGLE. | 06:28 |
| Cloud_ | oh hell no gentoo | 06:28 |
| Cloud_ | i could never get anything more than pure textmode working properly | 06:28 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: Lol. Gentoo is seriously overkill for desktops. I mean HONESTLY, who needs to compile desktop apps from source? | 06:29 |
| rww | bored people | 06:29 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: I totally get it on distributed and managed computing, but not for desktop use.. | 06:29 |
| abhinav_singh | logan_wolf are you there? | 06:29 |
| Cloud_ | avi_: people trying to boil water with their cpu cores | 06:29 |
| avi_ | rofl. | 06:29 |
| rww | artinfrieden: alternate CD. The desktop CD will only encrypt your home directory. | 06:29 |
| artinfrieden | I once cooled a CPU with ice cubes inside a plastik foiul | 06:29 |
| avi_ | Arch is about the line between usefullness and un needed 1337ness. | 06:29 |
| avi_ | Niice. | 06:30 |
| Cloud_ | i like debian better | 06:30 |
| artinfrieden | rww: thank you very much! | 06:30 |
| avi_ | sudo apt-get install fireextinguisher. | 06:30 |
| logan_wolf | abhinav_singh, yes tell me | 06:30 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: Absolutely.. debian > all. | 06:30 |
| logan_wolf | abhinav_singh, 10.4 is called lucid | 06:30 |
| grendal_prime | man this whole google voice thing is making me crazy... | 06:31 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: And I really find myself having no reasons to use Arch/Debian.. Ubuntu is just so.. elegant. Like upstart and Software Center and the out-of-the-box gnome config.. | 06:31 |
| shcherbak | hm | 06:31 |
| logan_wolf | abhinav_singh, and the uninstall of firefox can be done through ubuntu software centre. | 06:31 |
| Cloud_ | avi_: i only ended up with ubuntu because of vmware support | 06:31 |
| Cloud_ | and i got tired of using a gentoo livecd and saving VM state | 06:32 |
| Cloud_ | or downloading everything and compiling every time i wanted to make changes | 06:32 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: Well, Ubuntu is the best imo, for basically everything. | 06:32 |
| Cloud_ | i still prefer OSX | 06:32 |
| Cloud_ | or windows XP (suck that vista and 7) | 06:33 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: Canonical has a nice dose of Apple-mentality -- the good ones that is. | 06:33 |
| dougb_freebsd | that's what's great about having choices :) | 06:33 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: Interesting.. why XP > 7? | 06:33 |
| avi_ | dougb_freebsd: :D | 06:33 |

| Marikawn | Does anyone's startup sound skip when they log in? I would like to fix it | 06:33 |
| FyreFoX | hi I'm running lucid and have installed KVM, when I try connect to the console of a vm I get RunConsole:77 : unable to open tty /dev/pts/5: Permission denied | 06:34 |
| avi_ | Marikawn: Skip? Like the audio skips or it doesn't play? | 06:34 |
| Cloud_ | avi_: because I have been using "traditional windows" for so long, I am accustomed to it already | 06:34 |
| Cloud_ | 7 has all those new stuff, yeah they're good | 06:34 |
| Marikawn | The audio skips, like a broken record | 06:34 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: Ah. Well I like W7. But IdleOne is right, it is OT. | 06:34 |
| Cloud_ | but often they're kludged for backwards compat | 06:34 |
| Marikawn | I'm running 10.4 | 06:34 |
| mrpinky | Hi, regarding https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdk-pixbuf/+question/91632, how can I find out which package replaces this removed one? | 06:34 |
| avi_ | Marikawn: Hmm, nope, have you tried googling it? | 06:34 |
| abhinav_singh | i am using ubuntu 10.04.please help me how to uninstall firefox | 06:35 |
| Cloud_ | like stuff always ending up in weird locations due to the UAC virtualizing the filesystem | 06:35 |
| Cloud_ | if you know what I mean | 06:35 |
| Marikawn | yes but no luck | 06:35 |
| avi_ | abhinav_singh: Sudo apt-get remove firefox | 06:35 |
| avi_ | Marikawn: Hmmph. That's strage. And sound works fine once you're loggin in? | 06:35 |
| avi_ | logged* | 06:35 |
| hendaus | hi | 06:35 |
| Marikawn | that's correct | 06:35 |
| nisstyre65 | abhinav_singh: apt-get remove firefox ? | 06:35 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: Yeah. | 06:35 |
| avi_ | Marikawn: That is pretty odd.. are you looking to fix it? Because it's very easy to disable it, if it's bothersome to you. | 06:36 |
| Cloud_ | and all those hard links made by default all over the place, grr | 06:36 |
| Cloud_ | example: Documents and Settings link to Users | 06:36 |
| Cloud_ | and so on | 06:36 |
| Cloud_ | why change it in the first place?! | 06:36 |
| IdleOne | Cloud_ I really don't want to be a pain but please move this convo to #ubuntu-offtopic. | 06:36 |
| Marikawn | Well I know that I can disable all of the system sounds but I just wanted to know if anyone else had this problem, I prefer to fix it | 06:36 |
| Marikawn | but no biggie | 06:36 |
| avi_ | Cloud_: yeah, he's right. We're kind of flooding the chat. | 06:37 |
| Cloud_ | IdleOne: ... eh? | 06:37 |
| Cloud_ | did I cross a line here?! | 06:37 |
| IdleOne | Cloud_: this channel is for Ubuntu support. | 06:37 |
| IdleOne | #ubuntu-offtopic is a nice place where you can chat | 06:37 |
| hendaus | can anyone tell me how to load a sound.wav on weechat query? | 06:37 |
| rww | Cloud_: #ubuntu is for support discussion. #ubuntu-offtopic is for everything else that's within our guidelines. You wandered into the "everything else..." territory | 06:37 |
| rww | IdleOne: s/nice/habitable/ | 06:37 |
| Cloud_ | oh i see, heh! | 06:37 |
| Cloud_ | sorry | 06:38 |
| abhinav_singh | i tried to uninstall firefox using apt-get remove firefox but it is having lot of dependecies.....what to do please help mw | 06:38 |
| IdleOne | rww: thanks for the correction | 06:38 |
| nisstyre65 | abhinav_singh: are you saying other programs depend on firefox? | 06:38 |
| avi_ | Marikawn: right right. I don't really know how to help you then, I'm afriad :( | 06:38 |
| djbasic | hello | 06:38 |
| Cloud_ | now for some ontopic chat, how do I get my framebuffer working? | 06:38 |
| abhinav_singh | nisstyre65:yes | 06:38 |
| djbasic | any1 help me | 06:38 |
| Cloud_ | hopefully the kernel has had framebuffer support compiled in | 06:38 |
| avi_ | !ask | djbasic | 06:38 |
| ubottu | djbasic: 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. :-) | 06:38 |
| Marikawn | no worries, thank you | 06:38 |
| rodeo_ | Avi: I am back! | 06:39 |
| djbasic | oh ok | 06:39 |
| nisstyre65 | abhinav_singh: then you can't remove firefox without removing the programs that supposedly depend on it | 06:39 |
| djbasic | my bad | 06:39 |
| systm_ | my mouse pad isn't being recognized, is there a way to probe for it without rebooting? | 06:39 |
| avi_ | rodeo_: Refresh my memory, who are you :-) | 06:39 |
| rodeo_ | Well your solution for desktop search, a few hours before! remember | 06:39 |
| avi_ | rodeo_: ah ah ah! I remember. How'd that work out? | 06:39 |
| rodeo_ | You told me Tracker | 06:39 |
| kevin__ | anyone know anything about RAM and voltage requirements? | 06:40 |
| avi_ | rodeo_: Right tracker and beagle. | 06:40 |
| djbasic | well my hard drive is taking a crap but it shows up in live cd but i also cant mount it or open it | 06:40 |
| abhinav_singh | wait i am giving you package list firefox-branding,firefox-gnome-support:, google-talkplugin: | 06:40 |
| avi_ | djbasic: Like hardware failure? | 06:40 |
| abhinav_singh | nisstyre65 | 06:40 |
| djbasic | yupp | 06:40 |
| rodeo_ | Avi; Well thats good for file searching, what about the applications? | 06:40 |
| avi_ | djbasic: Well, what do you want us to do about it ;) Back it up asap! | 06:40 |
| djbasic | but the harddrive works now and then | 06:40 |
| avi_ | rodeo_: Ah, like an application launcher? | 06:40 |
| nisstyre65 | abhinav_singh: you've got to remove those programs first then | 06:40 |
| rww | kevin__: try ##hardware (which would require you to register with nickserv) or #ubuntu-offtopic (which wouldn't) | 06:41 |
| rodeo_ | Yeah, the way you have it in mint, | 06:41 |
| djbasic | only like the first part of the hard drive is thier any way i can pass the bad sectors | 06:41 |
| abhinav_singh | nisstyre65:can you please help me how to remove these programs | 06:41 |
| dougb_freebsd | is there a way to tell nautilus, et al, to display information in power of 2 units, instead of base 10 units? | 06:41 |
| nisstyre65 | abhinav_singh: use the same command you used before except with each of those package names | 06:41 |
| nisstyre65 | instead of 'firefox' | 06:41 |
| rodeo_ | See I went on installing applications, but these have not been updated in the list as it should | 06:42 |
| rodeo_ | Avi you got my point | 06:42 |
| avi_ | rodeo_: Well I've no real experience in mint, not can I explain the software list not updating. however, I can say that a fantastic app launcher is Gnome-Do. | 06:42 |
| avi_ | rodeo_: Simply start typing the name of an app, and it finds it and then hit enter to launch it. | 06:43 |
| rodeo_ | how do I go for it | 06:43 |
| avi_ | rodeo_: sudo apt-get install gnome-do | 06:43 |
| avi_ | rodeo_: Or search in software center | 06:43 |
| djbasic | so avi is thier any way to fix it my self | 06:43 |
| rodeo_ | Avi: let me try that! I will be back with results | 06:43 |
| avi_ | djbasic: I personally can't think of a way, and even if I could, I probably wouldn't because it's likely to make things worse. | 06:44 |
| avi_ | rodeo_: good luck! | 06:44 |
| avi_ | djbasic: Consider bringing it into a local computer shop. | 06:44 |
| djbasic | well i love to try if u can point me in the right directions i can fig. it out since im getting a new one soon | 06:44 |
| djbasic | dont hurt | 06:44 |
| djbasic | no way im cheap | 06:45 |
| djbasic | i think i should go back to ITT | 06:45 |
| avi_ | djbasic: Ah I see. Well to be honest, I really don't know much about how to repair hard drives. I only know that there's a number of audio indicators that can let you know what's going on, or, it might be a local failure, which should have a somewhat easy fix. | 06:46 |
| avi_ | djbasic: ITT? | 06:46 |
| djbasic | yeah ..ITT i got dropped for attendance | 06:47 |
| djbasic | oh well been swell chatting thanks AVI | 06:47 |
| avi_ | djbasic: :D sure. | 06:47 |
| rodeo_ | avi: it worked, thanks man, I am relieved now | 06:48 |

| mcrawfor | like you can do with kde/gnome or something like that? | 07:06 |
| lwl | it will not boot the computer from the cd | 07:06 |
| Gnea | mcrawfor: the netbook edition uses gnome already | 07:06 |
| Gnea | lwl: so tell the computer to boot from the cd | 07:07 |
| S4ry | Excuse me | 07:07 |

| Gnea | lwl: when the system boots up, and if you try to 'explore' the cd, do you get a lot of files & directories or just one file? | 07:11 |

| ghostnik11 | gnea: very funny | 07:35 |
| S4ry | Gnea, you shouldn't answer if you don't know :) | 07:35 |

| Gnea | ghostnik11: or you could try this password: merlin | 07:43 |

| pfifo | gartral, if by pain you mean compiling from source, thats easy. whats this involve? | 08:17 |
| gartral | pfifo: unless you forked a seperate configuration for just your compiler.. with is also a pain | 08:17 |
| gartral | pfifo: recompileing half of ubuntu | 08:17 |
| Araneidae | Hmm. Model no ZGS. I wonder what that means... | 08:17 |

| Araneidae | fruitwerks, that's promising | 08:18 |

| emperium | ZykoticK9 the problem is that my laptop's graphic card is a sis 671 shared | 08:19 |

| fruitwerks | Araneidae: how much ram does it have? | 08:21 |
| emperium | i'll check it somewhere else | 08:21 |
| pfifo | I love my cross compiler, but the thing is so hard to build and tweak just perfectly that I really DO NOT want to rebuild it. However Im not a fan of 10.04 yet so Id rather use it in 9.10 | 08:21 |
| Araneidae | fruitwerks, it looks fine: it's got 512M RAM, and it appears to have 6.5G of flash ... according to `df -h`, actually don't think I altogether believe that | 08:22 |
| emperium | itsux2bu: is tvrip hd | 08:22 |
| fruitwerks | you will indeed need some swap then... might be fine for light use | 08:23 |

| TofuAttack | So a horse walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Why the long face? | 08:46 |
| rww | the horse replies, "Ask in #ubuntu-offtopic!" | 08:47 |
| suprengr | Comppiz question: running10.04 & wondering if I can get any use from compiz when usingan on-board Intel / Radeon Pro grahics set? | 08:47 |
| Cloud_ | whats the program that ubuntu 10.04 uses to draw the boot splash? | 08:47 |
| TofuAttack | i would but i hardly know what ubuntu is about so i dont really care | 08:48 |
| rww | Cloud_: plymouth | 08:48 |
| Cloud_ | is there any way i can change its operation to show the framebuffer console with a background image instead? | 08:48 |
| Cloud_ | i already got uvesafb working | 08:48 |
| Ben64 | how come the version of the nvidia driver is so ancient | 08:50 |
| itsux2bu | i just booted with a LiveUSB for the first time.. prior to this i Virtualbox which put ubuntu in a very protective shell and it doesn't see you hardware directly.. i have to say i've super impressed with how ubuntu detected my hardware and used it to it full advantage.. the more i see of ubuntu the more it impresses me.. | 08:50 |
| TofuAttack | what are the advantages of using ubuntu besides the price | 08:51 |
| itsux2bu | the most popular distro downloaded | 08:51 |
| iceroot | TofuAttack: freedom | 08:52 |
| TofuAttack | seems like a pretty lame OS.... | 08:52 |
| iceroot | TofuAttack: you have a support-question? | 08:52 |
| itsux2bu | dude.. look there are 1300+ users in here and its slow now | 08:52 |
| itsux2bu | 1300+ is like 300 or 400 more than any other room.. | 08:52 |
| TofuAttack | no i dont, i dont even know why i'm here. | 08:53 |
| itsux2bu | on freenode | 08:53 |
| itsux2bu | what else you looking at? | 08:53 |
| iceroot | TofuAttack: so maybe #ubuntu-offtopic is a better place for questions like that | 08:53 |
| suprengr | TofuAttack: what iceroot said ispertinentbut in answer... security, help, total cost of qwnership, better hardware life are but a few. | 08:54 |
| lon__ | I have ubuntu installed on my pc but all app software i download i cant open it. | 08:54 |
| TofuAttack | so i googled it and apparently the top reason is "Ubuntu 7.04 comes with just a few of the effects seen a lot nowadays, these effects include the rotating cube desktop and wobbly windows," LMFAO | 08:54 |
| van7hu | Hello | 08:55 |
| lon__ | CAN SOMEONE HELP ME? | 08:55 |
| itsux2bu | ubuntu Desktop gives you 4 virtual desktops | 08:55 |
| van7hu | does anyone here use JVJ 3G modem with ubuntu | 08:56 |
| van7hu | ? | 08:56 |
| itsux2bu | it detechs hardware others don't | 08:56 |
| lon__ | IM NEW TO UBUNTU IM USE TO WINDOWS | 08:56 |
| SwedeMike | lon__: please don't use caps lock. | 08:57 |
| lon__ | Ok sorry | 08:57 |
| itsux2bu | lon__, what apps and how are you downloading them? | 08:57 |
| van7hu | JVJ is not in 3G hardware list of ubuntu wiki | 08:58 |
| van7hu | but | 08:58 |
| TerrenceKJ | Hi everyone. I currently have Unbuntu 10.4 running on one workstation, and would like to install the exact same OS and extra's on another pc. Can I I write my config and software packages to a DVD | 08:58 |
| TofuAttack | that's cool i guess, but... it wouldn't be able to run any windows applications... which is like 90% of all software | 08:58 |
| TofuAttack | which is also the main reason i hate macs | 08:58 |
| van7hu | could anyone tell me how to do with JVJ moem | 08:59 |
| lon__ | im downloading from demonoid and the app is spyware doctor & others like that | 08:59 |
| van7hu | could anyone tell me how to do with JVJ modem | 08:59 |
| TerrenceKJ | so that I don't have to download all the extra's again | 08:59 |
| itsux2bu | TofuAttack, you use ms-office | 08:59 |
| itsux2bu | ? | 08:59 |
| suprengr | !wine > TofuAttack | 08:59 |
| ubottu | TofuAttack, please see my private message | 08:59 |
| itsux2bu | lon__, are these windows apps? | 09:00 |
| itsux2bu | or *nix? | 09:00 |
| TerrenceKJ | Put differently, can I package my installed ubuntu 10.4 and all installed extra's on an installation dvd/s | 09:01 |
| lon__ | well im new to all this i use to download from here all the time with windows but i changed to ubuntu and im lost | 09:01 |
| ghostnik11 | gnea: it seems my floopy drive is not writing to the diskette correctly as every time i try to put on windows 2000 img file on diskette it says file to large | 09:01 |
| SLierFox | is the netbook edition better than the desktop for laptops ? | 09:01 |
| Ben64 | TerrenceKJ: i don't think so, but you could probably get a list of packages from somewhere and just install those on the new install | 09:02 |
| TofuAttack | is the real reason that you guys use ubuntu, that you cant afford to buy windows, or even pirate it | 09:02 |
| ghostnik11 | gnea: i will have to get a usb floopy drive for my laptop instead of using my desktop with puppy linux | 09:02 |
| Ben64 | TofuAttack: nope, it works better than windows | 09:02 |
| SLierFox | i got all three on my laptop tofuattack what do u use ? | 09:02 |
| ghostnik11 | gnea: thanks for all the help and also everyone else who helped, goodnight this has made me tired | 09:03 |
| TofuAttack | windows 7 | 09:03 |
| itsux2bu | i run windows and ubuntu at the same time.. with Virtualbox.. | 09:03 |
| TerrenceKJ | Ben64: Thanks - can I copy the packages instead of having to download again. If so where are they | 09:03 |
| iceroot | TofuAttack: the ubuntu-community that you dont find on windows or other linux-distris | 09:03 |
| SLierFox | yea its nice few lil windows glitchs tho but not as secure as linux i like mint but Mrs wants to use ubuntu | 09:04 |
| iceroot | TofuAttack: and i already told you that this is the support-channel, everything else goes to #ubuntu-offtopic | 09:04 |
| shafi | TofuAttack, No. we get sick of windows viruses, crashes, and the Blue Screen of death + 1000000000000000 more reasons | 09:04 |
| SLierFox | il second that :) | 09:05 |
| iceroot | TofuAttack: download a live-cd and see the advantages of linux and ubuntu | 09:05 |
| TofuAttack | i haven't gotten any of those windows 7 | 09:05 |
| TofuAttack | on* | 09:05 |
| van7hu | Hello | 09:05 |
| itsux2bu | TofuAttack, so you like being held hostage by m$ for closed software that get upgrade just to make gates and friend billionares? | 09:05 |
| van7hu | Who has just sent private message to me | 09:05 |
| van7hu | sorry | 09:05 |
| TofuAttack | but then i have to reinstall, too much effort | 09:05 |
| TofuAttack | i pirate my software | 09:06 |
| Ben64 | TerrenceKJ: /var/cache/apt/archives/ ? | 09:06 |
| van7hu | I open it in new window | 09:06 |
| SLierFox | reinstall ? | 09:06 |
| van7hu | and it crash | 09:06 |
| itsux2bu | no need to pirate *nix.. they give it away | 09:06 |
| TofuAttack | yah i'll have to reinstall windows | 09:06 |
| SLierFox | just dual boot or use live cd tofuattack | 09:06 |
| van7hu | please resend it | 09:06 |
| Diverdude | I am in a folder. I wish to search current folder and all subfolders for files or folders containing something with the string "25" in the name of the file or folder. How can i do that? | 09:06 |
| itsux2bu | your not breaking the law with *nix | 09:06 |
| Ben64 | Diverdude: find | grep 25 | 09:06 |
| lon__ | how can i open affter effects useing ubuntu | 09:06 |
| TofuAttack | i'll try it on my desktop later | 09:06 |
| Cloud_ | hey i want fbcondecor on my install | 09:07 |
| TofuAttack | will i still have all my data intact | 09:07 |
| Cloud_ | is it possible? | 09:07 |
| itsux2bu | the liveCD boots and doesn't install anything | 09:07 |
| shafi | TofuAttack, You have to try ubuntu once | 09:07 |
| rww | Diverdude: find . -name *25* | 09:07 |
| TofuAttack | so it's like a software than runs within windows?! | 09:07 |
| TofuAttack | not a complete operating system? | 09:07 |
| shafi | then u will get the idea | 09:07 |
| Ben64 | uh | 09:07 |
| TerrenceKJ | Ben64: Thanks a mil | 09:07 |
| Ben64 | it's a complete OS, but it can run off a cd | 09:07 |
| Ben64 | although not as fast as installed | 09:08 |
| itsux2bu | you create a LiveCD.. when you boot you tell your bios to boot from the CD | 09:08 |
| TofuAttack | oh... | 09:08 |
| itsux2bu | no writing to your hard drive | 09:08 |
| SLierFox | Tofuattack i like mint for eyecandy like win 7 but ubuntu is more widely supported i belive n installing software is easier than windows it does it for u on ubuntu or mint but there are loads of other s too google it | 09:08 |
| itsux2bu | i just did the same thing with my usb pendrive | 09:09 |
| TofuAttack | the fact that there are 1300 in the "support" channel does not make me feel confident. | 09:09 |
| TofuAttack | doesn't this mean there would be a lot of "problems"... | 09:09 |
| frameRelay | mint is based on ubuntu SLierFox | 09:09 |
| itsux2bu | and where in the official "Microsoft" support irc channel? | 09:09 |
| itsux2bu | 1300+ mean there are lots of people around the globe to HELP YOU | 09:10 |
| SLierFox | frameRelay yea but changed as ubuntu is debian after all :) | 09:10 |
| hozeHoze1 | hi, i am trying to setup a cronjob to rsync files from remote host to my local box. because of permissions problems i need to sudo rsync, but when i do that, the remote host is prompting me for a password (root id_rsa.pub is not set) and the cronjob wont execute. any ideas? | 09:10 |
| TofuAttack | what's mint | 09:10 |
| Araneidae | Why am I able to type `mount /dev/dvd0` as an ordinary user? It's not in /etc/fstab | 09:11 |
| SLierFox | Tofuattack possibly but with all this help ul get sorted mint is just a eye candy version of ubuntu | 09:11 |
| TofuAttack | why are there so many... ubuntu, debian, gentoo, etc | 09:11 |
| pfifo | gartral, I booted the 10.04.1 livecd and with a simple symlink was able to get my cross compiler working perfectly. Its kind of a pain but since I only need to use the cross compiler to make the final exe it seems like it will work | 09:11 |
| mneptok | Mint is offtopic for this channel | 09:11 |
| SLierFox | with added parts and it own community an support | 09:11 |
| itsux2bu | when i ran my LiveUSB of ubuntu.. it recognized all my hardware.. right from the first boot.. | 09:11 |
| SLierFox | only prob i seem to have at mo with Ubuntu and its green equivelant it ATI gpu cards | 09:12 |
| itsux2bu | ubuntu is an offshoot of debian | 09:12 |
| TofuAttack | so i can still run all my windows software on ubuntu...? | 09:13 |
| TofuAttack | all my games etc | 09:13 |
| shafi | TofuAttack, Because its open source and every one is able to customize it according to his/her interest. | 09:13 |
| itsux2bu | TofuAttack, why are there so many different kinds of Coffee? | 09:13 |
| SLierFox | Tofuattack if ur interested look up unix wars and get the history an ul see why there are so many different distros of linux | 09:13 |
| TofuAttack | touche. | 09:13 |
| frameRelay | é * | 09:13 |
| SLierFox | lol | 09:14 |
| itsux2bu | TofuAttack, if you wanted to make your own distro.. TofuLinux you could | 09:14 |
| pfifo | What dose the word Ubuntu mean? | 09:14 |
| itsux2bu | try that with any windows software? | 09:14 |

| shafi | TofuAttack, there are many packages that could resolve all your problems, but beside this you still could install your windows app via the "wine" | 09:15 |

| itsux2bu | Wine is a windows emulator for linux | 09:15 |
| hozeHoze1 | Wine = Wine Is Not Emulator | 09:16 |
| noplamodo | More a compatibility layer | 09:16 |
| itsux2bu | well whatever it is | 09:16 |
| frameRelay | !wine | 09:16 |
| pfifo | TofuAttack, you dont want to run windows software in linux unless you really have to. thats why its possible to have both windows and linux installed on your computer at the same time | 09:16 |
| ubottu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 09:16 |
| hozeHoze1 | :) | 09:16 |
| gartral | mneptok: auto-correction chose wrong word. I'm not inheriently that bad with grammar. | 09:17 |
| hozeHoze1 | Tofu, just install ubuntu, and setup winblows on a virtual machine | 09:17 |
| TofuAttack | why is it free, how do the developers get paid? just from generous supporters? | 09:17 |
| TofuAttack | i would have to memorise the altcodes | 09:17 |
| TofuAttack | cbf | 09:17 |
| SLierFox | Wine works ok in my experiance but u need to check up if the exe in windows will work ok in Wine | 09:17 |
| mneptok | gartral: "inherently" | 09:17 |
| itsux2bu | you can dual boot.. you can use a virtual machine, you can liveCD/LiveUSB.. | 09:17 |
| gartral | he isnt satisfied either way, huh? | 09:17 |
| frameRelay | TofuAttack devs don't get paid | 09:17 |
| rww | gartral: I believe mneptok is making a point :) | 09:17 |
| pfifo | WAIT!! Were getting paid for this? when can I get my check? Whats my payrate anyway? | 09:18 |
| gartral | whatever, it's 4:18 AM, iI have room for a smegging typo or two, ok? | 09:18 |
| frameRelay | Wait, what? Was I wrong all these years? | 09:18 |
| frameRelay | I CAN FINALLY BUY MY HOUSE! | 09:18 |

| gsedej_work | hi! I have 10.04 and flash content is always gray (firefox, chrome) but it plays - I can hear sound (youtube). I already tried to reinstall flash plugin | 09:18 |
| itsux2bu | the developers believe so strongly in open source and ubuntu, they volunteer they time | 09:19 |
| rww | gartral: perhaps you shouldn't frivolously correct others, then :) | 09:19 |
| TofuAttack | if only ubuntu could run on an ipad or something... | 09:20 |
| SLierFox | open source as it will be supported or open sorce code ? | 09:20 |
| drygrain | zing! | 09:20 |
| drygrain | lol | 09:20 |
| drygrain | SLierFox: huh? | 09:21 |
| gartral | rww: how does this degrade my initial point? | 09:21 |
| pfifo | TofuAttack, actually its not that simple, I need linux, and use a free version. Since Im somewhat knowledgeable about how linux works internally, I can fix problems when they arise, and instead of keeping the fix to myself, I give it to other users who need it. And im just 1 out of 1371 users | 09:21 |
| industrial | I have default-jdk and default-jre installed but cannot view java in firefox. What package am I missing? | 09:21 |
| itsux2bu | well there's another closed machine.. apple keeps even tighter control of its IP then m$ | 09:21 |
| pfifo | TofuAttack, ubuntu will run on an iPad | 09:21 |
| === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz | ||
| itsux2bu | and charges an arm and leg.. apple is expensive | 09:22 |
| SLierFox | Apple is bsd aint it ? | 09:22 |
| itsux2bu | i'm sure the *nix community would love to run on apple hardware.. but apple would never ever allow it.. don't blame *nix for apples policies | 09:23 |
| gartral | Apple was allway the big 'Why Bother?' of the computer industry for me. | 09:23 |
| mneptok | SLierFox: please stop the offtopic-ness. this is a support channel. | 09:23 |
| rooks | SLierFox, it is bsd-ish with some strangness on top | 09:23 |
| TofuAttack | programming software seems so hard... can't believe anyone would develop it for free. | 09:23 |
| TofuAttack | are you serious?!?!? | 09:23 |
| TofuAttack | why do you ugys say m$ and not ms | 09:23 |
| SLierFox | ahh | 09:23 |
| rooks | SLierFox, more or less its to bsd what chromium is to linux | 09:23 |
| rww | TofuAttack: because they're silly and immature | 09:24 |
| * topyli throws in a quick advertisement for #ubuntu-offtopic | 09:24 | |
| rww | Also, way over half of Linux kernel development is done under the auspices of a company, as is a lot of work on the other parts of Linux. | 09:24 |
| pfifo | TofuAttack, programming is easy. Ya im srs. m$ seems to be more derogatory, linux users generally dont like anything related to microsoft | 09:24 |
| rww | topyli: you're not the first person to do so :\ | 09:24 |
| topyli | :( | 09:25 |
| drygrain | lol | 09:25 |
| industrial | TofuAttack: programming software isnt hard. it's a job thousand of people do | 09:25 |
| industrial | TofuAttack: it's also way more fun if you can decode on your own what to make instead of what your boss requires | 09:25 |
| industrial | so you make it good and are proud of it | 09:25 |
| industrial | welcome to open source. | 09:25 |
| industrial | decide* | 09:26 |
| Ben64 | soooo... how come my nvidia driver is 195 instead of 256? | 09:26 |
| SLierFox | So would the netbook version of ubuntu be better suited to a laptop than the desktop version of the new ubuntu ? | 09:26 |
| Ben64 | seems like a really really old version for ubuntu to be giving me | 09:26 |
| industrial | I have default-jdk and default-jre installed but cannot view java in firefox. What package am I missing? | 09:26 |
| topyli | SLierFox: no | 09:26 |
| rww | SLierFox: they're just different interfaces. Try them both, see which you like. | 09:26 |
| Ben64 | SLierFox: i have normal version on my laptop, works fine | 09:26 |
| pfifo | SLierFox, laptop should get the desktop and netbooks should get netbook | 09:26 |
| SLierFox | ok will try desktop for mrs laptop | 09:27 |
| industrial | rww: can I test both interfaces on 10.04 ? | 09:27 |
| itsux2bu | you can be a slave to microsoft's overprice bloated code that you have no control over or enjoy the freedom of *nix | 09:27 |
| rww | and netbooks work fine with the desktop version too :\ | 09:27 |
| rww | industrial: yes | 09:27 |
| pfifo | i hate the netbook interface cause im the cli type | 09:27 |
| industrial | rww: what's the package :P? | 09:27 |
| Ben64 | if you want to run all the newest and greatest games, use windows | 09:27 |
| itsux2bu | *nix has very low memory overhead.. | 09:27 |
| rww | industrial: ubuntu-netbook and ubuntu-desktop | 09:27 |
| industrial | cheers | 09:28 |
| industrial | rww: maybe you know this aswell; I have default-jdk and default-jre installed but cannot view java in firefox. What package am I missing? | 09:28 |
| industrial | :P | 09:28 |
| itsux2bu | everyday i hear stories of kids taking out old laptops to slow for windows and loading *nix on it and runs like new | 09:28 |
| rww | industrial: My solution to java problems involves bleach and nuclear missiles. I suspect you want a different person. | 09:28 |
| Ben64 | so nobody knows why the nvidia driver is so out of date? | 09:28 |
| industrial | rww: darn :( i know :( stupid button on a webpage for work :( | 09:28 |
| pfifo | industrial, there is a firefox plugin for java, you need to make sure its in firefox's plugin directory | 09:29 |
| Ben64 | industrial: java works for me as of 10.04 | 09:29 |
| topyli | industrial: the plugin package | 09:29 |
| itsux2bu | TofuAttack, what do you do with your windows computers? | 09:29 |
| SLierFox | itsux2bu good you can help me with mine then when ive got ubuntu downloaded :) | 09:30 |

| mnord | Hi, I accidentally added stuff to the Evolution calendar instead of the Google calendar. Now I've added the Google calendar to Evolution and want to copy the contents of Evolutions calendar. I right click the old one and press "copy" which lets me choose which calendar to copy to, and I choose Google, but when it says "Kan inte öppna mål" (can not open target, or something similar). I can see the Google calendar and all the content s | 09:31 |
| mnord | o there should be no problem. Any ideas? | 09:31 |
| TofuAttack | i might install it on my old desktop actuallly, i only use that for browsing and msn... | 09:32 |
| itsux2bu | TofuAttack dude.. DUAL-BOOT.. its not a either or world | 09:32 |
| drygrain | they arent mutually excluzive TofuAttack | 09:32 |
| industrial | topyli: hmm, that was already installed | 09:32 |
| topyli | itsux2bu, TofuAttack: you are seriously offtopic. stop it | 09:33 |
| itsux2bu | i'm done.. | 09:33 |
| pfifo | TofuAttack, use ubintu for the linux tools that run faster and more stable than anything in windows, and boot up to windows to kick back and throw some frags | 09:33 |
| Ben64 | i hate booting into windows | 09:34 |
| DASPRiD | TofuAttack, if you define SC2 as the currently newest and greatest game, ubuntu will do fine ;) | 09:34 |
| Ben64 | DASPRiD: does it work fine really? | 09:35 |
| itsux2bu | yea.. its seems so slow now that i've gotten used to ubuntu | 09:35 |
| DASPRiD | Ben64, yup, flawless | 09:35 |
| TofuAttack | all that's going through my mind is... hannah montana.. best of both worlds... | 09:35 |
| Ben64 | saw it on winehq, gonna try it later tonight | 09:35 |
| mnord | Problem solved by restarting Evolution. There seems to have been some connection problem only. | 09:35 |

| Araneidae | How do I persuade Ubuntu to show the original console when booting rather than the stupid "user friendly" splash screen? | 09:38 |
| rww | Araneidae: edit /etc/default/grub, remove "splash" from the relevant line, save, run "sudo update-grub" | 09:39 |
| itsux2bu | Araneidae you want to boot to command line? | 09:39 |
| Araneidae | itsux2bu, no, I was after rww 's answer, thanks | 09:39 |
| itsux2bu | just wanted to get rid of slpash screen.. but still load desktop? | 09:40 |
| TofuAttack | will i still be able to network transfer data from my win7 laptop to ubuntu desktop??? | 09:40 |
| Araneidae | Just so: would rather see what's happening during the boot process, particularly if something goes wrong | 09:40 |
| Araneidae | I'm afraid Ubuntu is getting more and more reticent about error messages :( | 09:40 |
| itsux2bu | Araneidae, got ya | 09:41 |
| rww | Araneidae: you can also remove "quiet" from the same place for more verbosity :) | 09:41 |
| Araneidae | Just clicked on "Try Ubuntu-Netbook 10.04" on a netbook boot and it's just sitting there, spinning that icon | 09:41 |
| gartral | Araneidae: how long? | 09:43 |
| Araneidae | Good grief! It's still unzipping crap off the USB disk (I can see `lzma` hammering the CPU in top on the alternate console) | 09:43 |
| gartral | Araneidae: ive seen systems take a hour too boot from live cd | 09:43 |
| dyret | guys, what is the shorctur keys to open up the search app that lets you type in the name of the program you'd like to start? | 09:44 |
| Araneidae | That's so encouraging. Think somebody's not thought things through here... | 09:44 |
| Araneidae | Sounds like a "papercut" candidate, actually | 09:44 |
| rww | dyret: Alt-F2? | 09:44 |
| dvaske | dyret, gnome-do? | 09:44 |
| gartral | Araneidae: sounds like your low on ram | 09:44 |
| Araneidae | gartral, 512M ought to be enough? | 09:44 |
| Araneidae | I thought the whole point of Netbook was low resource usage | 09:44 |
| gartral | Araneidae: erm.. no.. the cd image itself is 650~ mb | 09:45 |
| Araneidae | yeah, good point | 09:45 |
| Araneidae | ouch | 09:45 |
| dyret | dvaske: I think that might be it yeah | 09:45 |
| Araneidae | Well, it's still lzma'ing away like mad | 09:45 |
| gartral | Araneidae: i *bet* you tryed toram huh? | 09:45 |
| Araneidae | toram? | 09:46 |
| Araneidae | goes google | 09:46 |
| Ben64 | loading livecd from a flash drive? | 09:46 |
| gartral | linux=toram | 09:46 |
| topyli | Araneidae: the point of the netbook edition is not low resource usage. it's regular ubuntu with a different desktop | 09:46 |

| Fudge | how do u generate id_rsa and pub key with cli ssh? | 09:47 |
| Araneidae | Fudge, ssh-keygen | 09:47 |
| topyli | Araneidae: 512M is usable for ubuntu. it won't be fast, but it'll work just fine | 09:47 |

| Ben64 | i bet it doesn't :( | 09:49 |

| Ben64 | wireless drivers hardly work | 09:49 |
| pfifo | Ben64, im lost with the window controls on the right | 09:50 |
| Ben64 | really? | 09:50 |

| Ben64 | its how almost everything does it | 09:50 |
| Ben64 | ha you guys made a thing for that | 09:50 |
| Araneidae | Well, it seems to think the wireless network is there | 09:51 |
| rww | Ben64: it's awfully popular :( | 09:51 |
| pfifo | Ben64, oops got my lefts and rights mixed up | 09:51 |
| pfifo | Ben64, im lost with the window controls on the LEFT | 09:51 |
| Araneidae | Have to type in my ridiculously complicted password now. | 09:51 |
| Ben64 | rww: its the first thing i did when i upgraded to lucid | 09:51 |
| Araneidae | (doesn't help that the keyboard map is wrong) | 09:52 |
| Araneidae | Woo! Wireless works on this machine, out of the box! | 09:54 |
| pfifo | whers my $5? | 09:54 |
| itsux2bu | rww, comment out 'GRUB_CMDLINE_DEFAULT="quiet splash"' in /etc/default/grub ? | 09:54 |
| rww | itsux2bu: no, remove quiet and splash from it | 09:55 |
| rww | GRUB_CMDLINE_DEFAULT="" | 09:55 |
| ComradeHaz` | o, guys I need a little help configuring 'dhcp3' for a single net-bootable machine. I cannot see how I can make one machine net-bootable while leaving all other dhcp requests as normal dhcp leases. | 09:55 |
| Araneidae | Should that be GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT? That's all that's in my /etc/defaults/grub | 09:55 |
| pfifo | ComradeHaz`, in your dhcpd.conf you need to configure the client via mac address. | 09:56 |
| itsux2bu | rww, so 'GRUB_CMDLINE_DEFAULT=""' ? | 09:56 |
| rww | Araneidae: yes, actually. I was just going off what itsux2bu said :) | 09:56 |
| ComradeHaz` | of cours, pfio, but I cannot find the syntax to tell it a specific mac is to bre responded to with a boot reply rather than a normal reply | 09:56 |
| ComradeHaz` | Ah. Unless.... | 09:57 |
| rww | itsux2bu: 1) find the line that has quiet and splash in it, 2) remove quiet and splash. 3) sudo update-grub. You appear to be overthinking this :\ | 09:57 |
| ComradeHaz` | Have I missed the point?! Does the request look different? | 09:57 |
| === Kaie` is now known as Harpo | ||
| === Harpo is now known as HarpoTheWale | ||
| === HarpoTheWale is now known as HarpoTheWhale | ||
| Ben64 | i like how ubuntu lets you enter in passphrase for wireless, but windows doesn't | 09:58 |
| pfifo | ComradeHaz`, yes it looks a little different | 09:58 |
| itsux2bu | rww, no just double checking.. my thot was that if no values in the quotes why have the line.. .. but i got it now.. | 09:58 |
| ComradeHaz` | OK, so one of the things I am unhappy about is that in the sample config file it says specifying a range for netboots is not recommended | 09:58 |
| ComradeHaz` | but it doesn't show a recommended way of doing it | 09:58 |
| ComradeHaz` | and the guids I find on the web all specify ranges. | 09:59 |
| rww | someone really needs to make a GUI for /etc/default/grub. | 09:59 |
| Araneidae | rww, itsux2bu: here's a command to do the job: sudo sed -i 's/quiet splash//' /etc/default/grub; sudo update-grub | 09:59 |
| ComradeHaz` | As it happens I don't want a range, I want one machine, to get one IP and boot from a pxe server. | 09:59 |
| pfifo | ComradeHaz`, you still setup a range, of just 1 ip address | 10:00 |
| zamba | i want to set up an interface in /e/n/interfaces that should get its ip address from a dhcp server, but it should ignore the gateway.. how can i do that? | 10:00 |
| itsux2bu | Araneidae, cool | 10:00 |
| ComradeHaz` | OK, so that goes at the top... What about the specification for the actual machine? | 10:01 |
| ComradeHaz` | Does that dissappear? | 10:01 |
| Araneidae | itsux2bu, the sed command is a bit of a blunderbus, a safer version would be sed -i '/^GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=/s/quiet splash//' /etc/default/grub | 10:02 |
| pfifo | ComradeHaz`, you have to specifically setup DHCP todo pxeboot, you really need to go review the documentation for it closer. But perhaps this will give you an idea http://linux-sxs.org/internet_serving/pxeboot.html | 10:02 |
| ComradeHaz` | I have done the rest | 10:03 |
| ComradeHaz` | but all the guides seem to be under teh strange dilluded impression you're only wanting to boot a bunch of diskless machines | 10:03 |
| ComradeHaz` | and totally fail to mention you may also have conventional machines using the same dhcp server | 10:04 |
| itsux2bu | Araneidae, but what if in a future version theres 2 spaces between quiet and splash.. or they reverse the order to splash space quiet? | 10:04 |
| pfifo | ComradeHaz`, that link has exactly what you want to copy and paste | 10:04 |
| itsux2bu | Araneidae, since you brought up safety | 10:04 |
| Araneidae | itsux2bu, you're quite right | 10:05 |
| Araneidae | Even better would be: | 10:05 |
| ComradeHaz` | Ah, indeed, it probably does. | 10:05 |
| ComradeHaz` | Thanks pfifo | 10:05 |
| Araneidae | sed -i '/^GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=/{s/quiet//; s/splash//;}' /etc/default/grub | 10:05 |
| pfifo | np | 10:05 |
| Araneidae | That'll leave a space behind, but we don't care, I'm sure | 10:05 |
| rww | that space could kill us all! | 10:05 |
| rww | (also, I now know more sed-fu than before this conversation started) | 10:06 |
| ComradeHaz` | hmm, one other thing I do need though pfifo is to specify the pxe server is not local | 10:06 |
| ComradeHaz` | I need to pass the IP of that machine. | 10:06 |
| ComradeHaz` | Can I do that in the host specification too? | 10:06 |
| * Araneidae knows too much sed | 10:06 | |
| Araneidae | I can't play tetris in it though -- I've seen it done | 10:06 |
| pfifo | ComradeHaz`, pxeserver? you mean your tftp server? | 10:07 |
| ComradeHaz` | Sorry, yes. | 10:07 |
| itsux2bu | also i like hand editting.. i can put in a comment about returning it to factory defaults.. | 10:07 |
| itsux2bu | copy the line.. comand out the original line.. than removing quiet and splash | 10:08 |
| itsux2bu | and add a comment about running sudo update-grub | 10:09 |
| Araneidae | Think I rather like the Netbook GUI. It's simple and to the point | 10:10 |
| pfifo | ComradeHaz`, next-server 192.168.1.50; | 10:10 |
| pfifo | ComradeHaz`, http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/478 | 10:10 |
| ComradeHaz` | Yeah, I know. Question is can I put it in the host specifcation | 10:10 |
| ComradeHaz` | Unlike what they do there..... | 10:11 |
| itsux2bu | since we are on the topic of desktop booting.. how can i boot the desktop version to a cmdline and just load gdm when i want? | 10:11 |
| Araneidae | That'll be a runlevel | 10:11 |
| Araneidae | Oh damn. No inittab anymore | 10:12 |
| pfifo | you should be able to use next-server in a host section | 10:12 |
| itsux2bu | in grub i see #GRUB_TERMINAL=console if i remove the comment and sudo update-grub ? | 10:13 |
| Araneidae | Anybody know how to set the runlevel in Ubuntu now that inittab is gone? | 10:13 |
| Araneidae | itsux2bu, I think that's too early. You need to change what's started once init gets going | 10:14 |
| itsux2bu | i was told to do this.. sudo nano /etc/init/gdm.conf then look for Start and add 'never and ' inside the parens. but i wanted to ask if that grub console entry was better? | 10:14 |
| AnxiousNut | how can i continue a stopped process from the command line? after using kill -STOP <pid>, is there something like -CONTINUE or -UNSTOP? | 10:15 |
| Araneidae | Definitely *not* the grub entry ... I think | 10:15 |
| Araneidae | AnxiousNut, SIGCONT | 10:15 |
| itsux2bu | Araneidae, ok.. i'll stay with what i got | 10:15 |
| Araneidae | See signal(7) | 10:15 |

| here2day | hi, new to linux, just wondering if start-up disk creator, only for ubuntu iso's?.... it wont allow me to use other distro iso's to make startup ubb | 10:17 |
| Araneidae | itsux2bu, there is a notion of runlevel in the /etc/init/gdm.conf, so upstart clearly still understand runlevels | 10:17 |
| Araneidae | I reckon you want to set the right runlevel ... | 10:17 |
| itsux2bu | the only thing left that still bothers me is when i exit gdm and at the command line the screen blanker still runs. i can turn it off in desktop.. but not command line.. | 10:17 |
| pfifo | here2day, startup disk creator convers a ubuntu iso into a USB bootable install disk | 10:18 |

| === Routers is now known as Rou | ||

| dyret | how do I find out what my ip address is? | 10:34 |
| ZelenyKralik | yeah:) | 10:34 |
| pfifo | dyret, goto the comman line and type in 'ip addr' | 10:34 |

| pfifo | barrito, no thats not the same | 10:35 |

| itsux2bu | Araneidae, sudo sed -i '/^GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=/{s/quiet//; s/splash//;}' /etc/default/grub; sudo sed -i '/^GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=/{s/" "//;}' /etc/default/grub; sudo grub-update would that get rid of the space between the quotes? | 10:35 |

| ZelenyKralik | whatsmyipaddress.com | 10:36 |
| ZelenyKralik | this one | 10:36 |
| Araneidae | Firstly you don't need a separate command, you can just do the substitution after the s/splash// one | 10:37 |
| itsux2bu | Araneidae, sudo sed -i '/^GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=/{s/quiet//; s/splash//;}' /etc/default/grub; sudo sed -i '/^GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=/{s/" "/""/;}' /etc/default/grub; sudo grub-update would that get rid of the space between the quotes? | 10:37 |
| Araneidae | and secondly you mean s/" "/""/ | 10:37 |
| itsux2bu | yup.. i just saw that | 10:37 |
| Araneidae | yeah, but better: sudo sed -i '/^GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=/{s/quiet//; s/splash//; s/" *"/""/;}' /etc/default/grub | 10:37 |
| pfifo | dyret, if your connecting through a router, than you will nedd to loginto your routers config, find the IP address that your ISP is giving you, and possibly setup port forwarding | 10:37 |

| pfifo | dyret, im not sure, it depends on what your doing. can you give me more details? | 10:39 |
| ZelenyKralik | dyret well just look what your ip adress is there:) | 10:39 |
| dyret | the server host needs to give me exclusive access to their sft account | 10:40 |

| Tanvir | topyli, thanks, its working.. 84 MB | 10:49 |
| Araneidae | erdnase, you need to install using Ubuntu's package manager | 10:49 |
| topyli | erdnase: that's a red hat package, it won't work in ubuntu | 10:49 |
| hacked_kernel | I need a program to do software engineering process modeling like to define milestones & so on, any ideas please? | 10:49 |
| Araneidae | You were lucky that Ubuntu doesn't understand rpm! | 10:49 |
| pfifo | erdnase, rpm is for redhat/fedora, ubuntu uses deb files | 10:49 |

| erdnase | Package manager it is then. :) | 10:49 |
| timewriter | how do i change it back to normal ? | 10:50 |
| topyli | erdnase: look for openjdk packages. if you absolutely need sun's java, look for sun-java6 | 10:50 |
| pingufan | There's no such one. | 10:50 |
| pfifo | pingufan, the command is 'displayconfig-gtk' | 10:50 |

| pingufan | can I run it throug ha vnc session? I currently have no screen connected, but I can see the machine's entire desktop. | 10:51 |
| jussi | Sargun: 10.10 question in #ubuntu+1 please | 10:52 |
| Araneidae | topyli, if they can I guess that'll be cool. | 10:52 |
| Araneidae | What state is 10.10 in now? | 10:52 |
| erUSUL | hacked_kernel: openproj | 10:52 |
| pfifo | pingufan, yeah, that should work | 10:52 |
| topyli | Araneidae: varying degrees of brokenness | 10:52 |
| Araneidae | sounds normal | 10:52 |
| pingufan | Then it does not. :( "RuntimeError: could not open display" | 10:52 |
| Araneidae | also sounds implausible for 10/10, but I guess we'll see | 10:52 |
| jussi | Araneidae: #ubuntu+ 1 also :) | 10:52 |
| jussi | err #ubuntu+1 | 10:53 |
| Araneidae | jussi, I'd forgotten about that channel. But then I'm not really an early adopter | 10:53 |

| itsux2bu | Araneidae, and this would be the opposite of what we been working on.. putting back quiet and splash back in the quotes and running grub-update ? | 10:54 |

| === bilalakhtar_ is now known as bilalakhtar | ||
| Araneidae | itsux2bu, really no. You could do: s/"/"quiet splash / if you wanted to | 10:57 |
| pingufan | Let's start with the easier thing: Why does my little machine not shut off its power when I do a shutdown? The power button also immediately kills the machine instead of a controlled shutdown... | 10:57 |
| pingufan | I gues, ACPI or APM issue? | 10:57 |
| Araneidae | itsux2bu, if you really wanted to replace everything in the quotes you'd write s/".*"/"quiet splash"/ -- the . matches any character | 10:58 |
| Araneidae | but you don't | 10:58 |

| ZelenyKralik | I just dont think that problem is in your computer | 11:03 |
| deep_ | ZelenyKralik ok.....maybe i will redownload it | 11:03 |

| madfox | jca1981 whats the issue? | 11:07 |
| jrib | jca1981: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) | 11:08 |
| Araneidae | Can I throttle my package download? It's saturating my connection :( | 11:08 |
| jrib | Araneidae: "trickle" maybe, never used it | 11:09 |
| pfifo | Araneidae, /etc/wget.conf | 11:09 |
| jca1981 | my upgrade to lucid failed, getting this error when i do a dpkg --configure -a http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/485784/ | 11:09 |
| itsux2bu | your downloading something TOO FAST? | 11:09 |
| madfox | itsux2bu sometimes people have small network pipes | 11:10 |
| Araneidae | itsux2bu, alas, yes. My line won't do more than 2.5Mbit, and the Ubuntu servers easily fill that | 11:10 |
| itsux2bu | that like being TOO Rich or Too Thin or being Too good looking.. or having sex with too many woman.. | 11:10 |
| Araneidae | I'm more that 5 miles from the exchange :( | 11:10 |
| jrib | jca1981: why did your upgrade fail? | 11:10 |
| erdnase | Lol. | 11:10 |
| Araneidae | pfifo, does update-manager use wget under the hood? If so, that's useful to know | 11:11 |
| jca1981 | jrib, yes it did | 11:11 |
| jrib | jca1981: "why?" | 11:11 |
| pfifo | Araneidae, im pretty sure all package managers use wget, and wget has settings for throttling | 11:11 |
| jca1981 | jrib, upgraded over ssh and connection died | 11:12 |
| itsux2bu | if i could have a internet connection thats as fast as my hard drive.. i'd be happy.. until then.. faster the better | 11:12 |
| Araneidae | pfifo, I guess you mean /etc/wgetrc | 11:12 |
| jrib | jca1981: I see... how did you upgrade? | 11:12 |
| SLierFox | Any ideas on why a boot disc would fail to load on a toshiba satellite 1130 ? | 11:12 |
| jca1981 | jrib, i did a sudo do-release-upgrade | 11:13 |
| pfifo | Araneidae, im not sure if it will work the way its expected, you have little control over how much data others send to you. your recvQ will still fill up | 11:13 |
| Araneidae | I did hear that the core of the problem is stupid queue management on the ISP side | 11:13 |
| === Mike___ is now known as Mike__ | ||
| madfox | SlierFox because satellites risk messing up data streams like downloading an ISO cause of how the tech works. | 11:13 |

| SLierFox | madfox the iso on the disc works on this laptop fine ? samsung r40 plus ? | 11:14 |
| itsux2bu | Araneidae, guess you need a dedicated download PC | 11:14 |
| pfifo | Araneidae, if you have a routerbox i remember reading an article that used tc and iptables to setup some advanced stuff for managing bandwidth | 11:15 |
| jrib | jca1981: check? | 11:15 |
| madfox | SlierFox so it works fine on one laptop but not the other? | 11:15 |

| skumara | jca1981, why dont u use update manager? | 11:16 |
| jrib | jca1981: basically just goodle "start: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused", figure out what causes that, fix it (maybe by selectively upgrading/configuring specific packages instead of everything) | 11:17 |
| jca1981 | skumara, i dont have any x desktop installed | 11:17 |

| ilovefairuz | erdnase: being a .jsp is unrelated (this is a server-side language), it could be just that site being overloaded | 12:07 |

| industrial | I have compiled and installed Application X (vim 7.3 in my case) to ~/Applications/ApplicationX-0.1/. It is in my path because it is sourced in ~/.bashrc.

| sacarlson | amikrop: well I see that hub 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub maybe that's build into your computer? | 12:45 |
| amikrop | sacarlson: keyboard, mouse, camera, and the HITACHI hard drive that isn't working. Those 4 devices. | 12:45 |
| Ben64 | root hub = the motherboard | 12:45 |
| amikrop | sacarlson: I don't know, maybe. | 12:45 |
| industrial | s/\.$/?/ | 12:45 |
| KE1HA | psyt7: easiest way to turn it off, is to remove the SW that uses it, like cheese or something. The to remove the kernel module: modprobe -r <kernel_mole_fer_webcam> | 12:46 |
| Ben64 | amikrop: you try the command i said earlier? | 12:46 |

| industrial | Dr_Willis: How are other programs recognized as programs that are startable in the list of applications you can choose from when assigning one to a given file type? | 12:50 |
| Dr_Willis | thedudester: X should reconfigure/auto configure by default if theres no xorg.conf | 12:50 |
| Dr_Willis | industrial: from the definitions in the various whatever.desktop files i belive. | 12:51 |
| thedudester | Dr_Willis: so how come i cant see nothing when ubuntu loads? | 12:51 |

| itsux2bu | i was told to use a command.. sudo grub-update but ubuntu says command not found.. i tried sudo apt-get install grub-update couldn't find package grub-update.. what other command might they have meant? | 13:17 |
| bazhang | itsux2bu, update-grub | 13:17 |
| Dr_Willis | itsux2bu: its sudo update-grub i belive... | 13:17 |
| amikrop | ilovefairuz: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/WgWJtiTa | 13:17 |
| itsux2bu | ok.. lol | 13:17 |
| ilovefairuz | eztop: fix it yourself or switch a distro of your liking, it's Free software | 13:17 |
| sacarlson | eztop: my terminal window title bar is painted. so maybe your problem is in your video driver? do you use propriatary? | 13:18 |
| eztop | ilovefairuz: yes, I will be switching | 13:18 |
| ilovefairuz | eztop: farewell then | 13:18 |
| Leman_Russ | eztop; what do you mean that the title bar is not painted | 13:18 |
| itsux2bu | worked.. | 13:18 |
| Leman_Russ | :) | 13:19 |
| eztop | sacarlson: it's not the driver... i installed debian lxde and it works | 13:19 |
| Esat | i use Ubuntu 10.04, when i leave in front of pc for a few minutes, the screen turns black mode (it is screensaver). this is normall. But when i type my password, it searchs more than 3 minutes, then the same window appear and i type passowrd and sign in. why the first time it takes for a long time? | 13:19 |
| xrfang | my kde desktop (kubuntu) suddenly lost all sounds, how do I diagnose and fix it? thanks | 13:19 |
| KE1HA | itsux2bu: for updates: [ sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg ] if grub is not installed [ sudo apt-get install grub-pc /dev/sdxx ] where sdxx is the mbr partition. | 13:19 |
| tyrus | ok got it | 13:19 |
| ilovefairuz | amikrop: sudo modprobe -v uhci_hcd .. any messages? | 13:19 |
| sacarlson | eztop: well if it's not the driver what is it? gnome? if it's paited for me why not you? | 13:19 |
| Leman_Russ | xrfang; systematically work through all the places where the sound levels can be altered, and make sure they are all turned up | 13:19 |
| eztop | sacarlson: because no one wants to fix the problem, that's why | 13:20 |
| tyrus | so like i was saying whenever i plug in my htc g1, after a reboot, its detected and the driver is loaded as usb-storage. | 13:20 |
| Leman_Russ | xrfang; once you have done that, and if you still dont have sound, we can look at alternatives | 13:20 |
| amikrop | ilovefairuz: on dmesg you mean? | 13:20 |
| jad | Cloud_, have u tried it, cuz on my pc its not working | 13:20 |
| sacarlson | eztop: well the first method of fixing something is to find out what is broken | 13:20 |
| amikrop | ilovefairuz: no, nothing | 13:20 |
| eztop | I reported two bugs in Launchpad already | 13:20 |
| thedudester | how can i make cairo dock load on everyboot? | 13:20 |
| eztop | no change | 13:20 |
| Leman_Russ | tyrus; what software are you using to access it normally? | 13:20 |
| tyrus | When i unplug the device and plug it in again, it doesnt get detected at all. | 13:21 |
| itsux2bu | KE1HA, this was the command they gave me.. sudo sed -i '/^GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=/{s/quiet//; s/splash//; s/" *"/""/;}' /etc/default/grub; sudo grub-update | 13:21 |
| ilovefairuz | eztop: are you paying them to fix it? are you compensating them for their time and effort? | 13:21 |

| ilovefairuz | amikrop: strange, anyhow, try https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/88746/comments/209 | 13:22 |
| tyrus | Leman_Russ: I usually just auto mount it and it gets detected and yes it is usually detected after a boot or a reboot. After that it isnt detected at all. | 13:22 |
| sometux | how to make ubuntu boot faster? | 13:22 |
| KE1HA | itsux2bu: that's just changing a parameter /default/grub | 13:22 |
| eztop | ilovefairuz: so even though there's no problem with debian or mint... the devs need extra money to track it down? i would rather switch distros but thanks for the remark | 13:22 |
| psyt7 | KE1HA: I can turn it off temporary enabling usb suspend from powertop. this "cools down the cam" and saves me 0.8 W. is there any way to disable it (using usb suspend specifically for it) permanently? | 13:22 |
| KE1HA | and, the last bit was updating, but it was wrong way around :-) | 13:22 |
| xrfang | Leman_Russ: I think it is not volume problem, about a few days ago, kde popup a window saying that my sound card related device does not work and its gonna "permanently disable the device"... I am sorry that I didn't catch the mesage before ignorantly clicked "OK". | 13:22 |
| eztop | sacarlson: what for? apparently, the devs need extra money to fix these bugs | 13:23 |
| Leman_Russ | tyrus; and once it is mounted, what software are you using with it? I mean, are you using something like F-Spot to access photos, or what? | 13:23 |
| ilovefairuz | eztop: they are swamped with issues, so eventually this or that issue will get overlooked | 13:23 |
| amikrop | ilovefairuz: ok, I am shuting down and power on | 13:23 |
| eztop | I've already pastebinned the bugs here and in the lubuntu channel | 13:23 |
| sacarlson | eztop: you won't get any support if you don't respond to questions. | 13:23 |
| tyrus | Leman_Russ: yes I am getting an auto run using F-Spot | 13:23 |
| Esat | i use Ubuntu 10.04, when i leave in front of pc for a few minutes, the screen turns black mode (it is screensaver). this is normall. But when i type my password, it searchs more than 3 minutes, then the same window appear and i type passowrd and sign in. why the first time it takes for a long time? | 13:23 |
| xrfang | the problem may be related to an interuupted update, after reboot, I totally cannot control the keyboard and mouse (touchpad, while external mouse keyboard worked). | 13:23 |
| KE1HA | psyt7: pass, dont know about that one mate. | 13:23 |
| jad | anyone here familiar with `beep` or `tput bel` or other beeping techniques | 13:23 |
| xrfang | and after resumed the upgrade, sounds does not come back | 13:23 |
| jad | cuz i can't seem to get them working | 13:24 |
| psyt7 | KE1HA: oki. should be able to do it from bios, but not possible | 13:24 |
| OltreIrc`10003 | hoi | 13:24 |
| Leman_Russ | tyrus; OK, I have had some similar issues with a Canon IXY 3000IS camera. It doesn't appear to mount when I plug it in (doesn't show up in Computer or anything like that) but when I access it in F-Spot, I can see it fine | 13:24 |

| mickster04 | thedudester: add a cronjob? sudo crontab -e | 13:25 |
| === abhijit is now known as Guest74580 | ||
| KE1HA | psyt7: it's probably a USB cam, most integrated ones are, so enabling with modprobe and disabling with modprobe -r should work. It does not delete the module, just disables it. | 13:25 |
| ilovefairuz | amikrop: remove the file and try http://www.bhcblog.com/2009/02/11/fix-for-device-descriptor-read64-error-71/ | 13:26 |
| mickster04 | thedudester: theres an @boot or something like that, read up about it | 13:26 |
| tyrus | Leman_Russ: this is happens ONLY after i reboot. When i unplug it, it doesnt get detected at all. and I have to reboot to have it detected once again | 13:26 |
| Leman_Russ | tyrus; I though t it might be something to do with the fact that my Camera is essentially an SD card with a lens attaches, which is putting an extra proprietary layer between the SD card and the computer, causing detection issues | 13:26 |
| Leman_Russ | tyrus; plug in the phone, go to the Terminal and type lsusb | 13:26 |
| mcl | ubuntu lucid gives probs : fatal server error : no screens found | 13:27 |
| tyrus | Leman_Russ: done, its detected via lsusb | 13:27 |
| psyt7 | KE1HA: tried it. the module is back after reboot. found a workaround here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OGerlich/Powertop | 13:27 |
| Leman_Russ | Right, so it is being detected then! | 13:28 |
| Leman_Russ | That is a start! | 13:28 |
| psyt7 | KE1HA: will try to add "echo auto > /sys/bus/usb/devices/5-8/power/level" to /etc/rc.local | 13:28 |

| undifined | Adamus, and share files by group | 14:02 |
| ankush | sipior: i used convert $file.jpg $file.xpm | 14:02 |
| gnomefreak | switchgirl: never a good idea to do that unless you expect people to click a link without knowning | 14:02 |
| sipior | ankush: right, but what failed, exactly? | 14:03 |
| Adamus | undifined, okay what if i backup data to a DVD from user Adam, on my Ubuntu box, for later use and when I go back to the disc, I'm using SUSE with a different username, will the files be accesible? | 14:03 |
| ankush | sipior: it didnt work , the image did chng at boot but it all become flooded.. colors blowing away...etc | 14:03 |

| ilovefairuz | switchgirl: export your favorites, close firefox, delete your firefox profile (~/.mozilla) and reimport them on next run | 14:04 |

| sacarlson | davidstrauss: I'm using it GParted 0.5.1 on 10.04 ubuntu | 14:37 |
| davidstrauss | sacarlson, And it is not a whitelabel of gparted. I have used gparted. | 14:37 |
| adminewb | sacarlson, just eliminated a few variables, it's somewhat easier triggering the lockup than I thought: doesn't matter if the inactive session has any user launched processes or not, and you don't have to logout to cause it -- switching users again triggers it too | 14:37 |
| davidstrauss | sacarlson, But I'll happily install gparted. | 14:38 |
| KE1HA | You can id you want too, but if fdisk -l and Disk Utility aren't picking up the disk, odds are gparted won't either. | 14:38 |

| adminewb | sacarlson, there appears to be plenty of memory for as many users as I care to start up | 14:49 |

| Dynamic_Fail | I am having trouble getting my com port to work in ubuntu. I enabled it in the bios and then when I try to connect to my device via putty it only will show one letter each time i hit enter. When I connect the device to another pc it works fine via serial... any ideas what could be the problem? | 14:50 |
| adminewb | sacarlson, yes that's the purpose | 14:50 |
| Pici | commander-ape: I don't know of any :/ | 14:50 |
| adminewb | sacarlson, FaH is there to consume otherwise idle CPU clocks | 14:51 |
| sacarlson | adminewb: well my guess is without those running it won't freez | 14:51 |
| adminewb | sacarlson, actually I just tried that, no go | 14:51 |
| adminewb | sacarlson, with or without FaH, system still locks up | 14:51 |
| jimmy51_ | in fstab, what does noatime 0 1 mean? | 14:52 |
| sacarlson | adminewb: well what if you do it from a live boot cd? | 14:52 |
| adminewb | sacarlson, I'll try live boot image, but I strongly suspect that's the same deal | 14:53 |
| adminewb | sacarlson, my suspicion is it's more connected to your initial question, having to do with the display driver | 14:53 |
| sacarlson | adminewb: well all I know is it don't do it to me. so if it does then it is eather your hardware or some combinations of software you setup. with live boot it should isolate it to hardware. | 14:54 |
| adminewb | ok off to some lab work to isolate this... | 14:54 |
| adminewb | sacarlson, yes my dual display might give it conniptions | 14:55 |
| sacarlson | adminewb: I would say that's posible since it seems my video goes flashing into another mode when move sesions. | 14:55 |
| adminewb | sacarlson, even though the 2nd display isn't in use | 14:55 |
| kokozedman | hey people | 14:56 |
| sacarlson | adminewb: yes snd display could do it. try turn it off or disable it. | 14:56 |
| kokozedman | just a question: is it possible to combine multiple internet into one? | 14:56 |
| adminewb | sacarlson, it is turned off & disabled | 14:56 |
| sacarlson | adminewb: in bios? | 14:56 |
| adminewb | sacarlson, fact that it shows up in PCI inventory though might matter... | 14:57 |
| kokozedman | i have 3 distinct internet from 3 different modems ... it would be really great if it is possible to combine the bandwidth of the 3 into 1 | 14:57 |
| adminewb | sacarlson, I doubt the BIOS knows anything other than the primary display it talks to | 14:57 |
| bastidrazor | jimmy51_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fstab ..this will explain all options for fstab | 14:57 |
| sacarlson | adminewb: I would think it's the most lickly some kind of conflict with irq or something with the displays. if you try disable one in bios it won't be seen. | 14:57 |
| adminewb | sacarlson, doubtful that dual display has resource conflict; both displays are in use on my Windows installation | 14:58 |
| jimmy51_ | bastidrazor: thanks. i think he's got fstab correct... /dev/sda1 /media/Storage ext3 defaults 0 2. it's acting read only though. would the creation of /media/Storage by sudo mean a standard user can't write to a partition mapped under it? | 14:58 |
| NBrepresent | Hey, I'm currently dual-booting XP and ubuntu. Can anyone link me to a tutorial on how to switch completely to ubuntu without having to set everything up again (no fresh install)? | 14:58 |
| jimmy51_ | *mounted | 14:58 |
| sacarlson | adminewb: I asume you have one internal to the motherboard and anotherpluged in. so you can eather unplug one or disabe the other | 14:59 |
| adminewb | sacarlson, it's just too much headache to get them both configured on Linux | 14:59 |
| adminewb | sacarlson, yes it's one IGP unit (PCI bus) and one expansion slot (PCIe) | 14:59 |

| thedudester | just downloaded eclipse, but i need eclipse PHP and not eclipse java... i downloaded the tar.gz plugin but i dont know how to install it.. anyone? | 15:01 |
| adminewb | sacarlson, since Windows is fine with dual display, I see no reason to believe there's an IRQ conflict affecting only Linux | 15:02 |
| thedudester | why no one answer my question? | 15:02 |

| bhest | Hi, im trying to install teamspeak3 server on my Ubuntu machine. But im lacking som basic insight in how to start the server. Im using the following command to start it: user@server:~$ sudo start-stop-daemon --chuid teamspeak --chdir /opt/tss2_rc2 --start --exec /opt/tss2_rc2/server_linux But it says it cannot find the file oddly enough | 15:05 |
| adminewb | sacarlson, I understand that somehow my situation is unusual | 15:05 |
| sipior | xektrum: by default, the desktop kernel does not include PAE, i believe, and so you'd be left with 4GB. | 15:05 |
| Crankygeek01 | Anyone know of a web based irc client ? | 15:05 |
| thedudester | ok so i post my question for the last time, hope it will be answered | 15:05 |
| thedudester | just downloaded eclipse, but i need eclipse PHP and not eclipse java... i downloaded the tar.gz plugin but i dont know how to install it.. | 15:05 |
| sacarlson | adminewb: you can think about it all day or you can just go try it. | 15:06 |
| Pici | ta_bu_shi_da_yu: Actually, it looks like its working fine, but you need to make sure that the urls in your sources.list look like http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/ubuntu/archive/ (note the /pub/ in there) | 15:06 |
| bhest | anyone has a clue? | 15:06 |
| xektrum | sipior, so I suppose that adding pae should do the work for desktop right?, anyway thanks | 15:06 |

| ta_bu_shi_da_yu | directly | 15:07 |

| woble | KE1HA its a small notebook disc, so will go for ~8 then. | 15:09 |

| erUSUL | !firewall | oliver_ | 15:14 |
| ubottu | oliver_: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 15:14 |
| woble | bhest, be sure permissions are set right, and the file does exist (look for it manually). Thats where i would start, but no experience with teamspeak servers | 15:14 |

| new2Ubuntu | Ichim, I think that would be too complex to do ...btw, I forgot to mention that it was my HDD-installed ubuntu which was creating issues... and I guess ureadahead with liveCD doesnot make sense...because it tries preloading stuffs from HDD only....and liveCD storage is not persisten.... | 15:45 |

| rantic | adminewb: Unfortunately this is my first experience with Ubuntu, I'm not sure if it's a grub issue or not ... I have managed to find 4-5 other threads with the same issue but noone seems to know the fix or has posted one. | 16:04 |
| rantic | adminewb: I guess it won't hurt to ask though! | 16:04 |
| adminewb | rantic, if I understand correctly your issue arises during grub's control, is that not so? | 16:04 |
| rantic | adminewb: If grub is in control after I've chosen which operating system to boot and before the Login screen appears then yes. | 16:05 |
| Ichim | new2ubuntu: my hardware isn't that new... maybe 2/3 years. I thought of that because the problem seems to appear in luvid lynx only? | 16:06 |
| adminewb | rantic, grub loads up your selected kernel pretty much instantly when you choose an option, so I'd guess not... any long delays are likely not attributed to grub itself but the kernel it loads | 16:06 |
| new2Ubuntu | Ichim, in that case, may be old kernels would work...but still for a decent amount of time all are backward compatible...that means they are going to work pretty well even with the old h/ws | 16:07 |
| xiven | How do I find out the currently installed driver for a wireless network adapter (USB)? | 16:07 |
| adminewb | rantic, you might have better luck trying a channel where kernel experts hang out... those who can tell what all those console log messages mean | 16:07 |
| Crankygeek01 | Mbroeker: I created the database again- I am getting the same error, do I need to restart the apache server, or postgres? | 16:08 |

| mbroeker | Crankygeek01, normally not: can you post a picture of your error message? | 16:08 |

| edbian | xiven, He is in the man page. | 16:16 |
| edbian | Madwill, no problem | 16:16 |
| gery | my notebook is axiio neon mnc 915c | 16:17 |
| Kaolc | okay, so I logged into the VPS via PuTTy. Now what exactly? | 16:17 |
| Kaolc | apt-get install xserver? something like that? | 16:17 |
| edbian | Kaolc, Is this ubuntu server edition? | 16:17 |
| Madwill | someone really out of his mind asked me to set-up a command line ubuntu server via ssh | 16:17 |
| Kaolc | edbian, I don't know. I'm not experienced. | 16:17 |
| * Madwill is listening to kaolc question | 16:17 | |
| edbian | Kaolc, Did you install the operating system? | 16:18 |
| Kaolc | No | 16:18 |
| Kaolc | I purchased access to the server, it's a VPS | 16:18 |
| edbian | Kaolc, I have to use the restroom. I would be happy to help but I will be back in 2 minutes :) | 16:18 |
| Kaolc | Thanks man (: Not in a hurry | 16:18 |
| Madwill | kaolc what are you trying to do | 16:18 |
| Madwill | setup a server remotly via ssh | 16:18 |
| zira_p | can we use with all my ubuntu network with http://www.i2p2.de/ ? What i have to do, if i want to use all my network with i2p protocol ? or i have to integrated all softwares (firefox, chrome, pidgin...) to ip2 protocol by one by ? | 16:18 |
| Kaolc | Well I'm trying to get something installed on my ubuntu server so I can connect to it remotely from Windows and have a nice GUI | 16:19 |
| Kaolc | like VNC or something | 16:19 |
| Madwill | oh | 16:19 |
| Madwill | in my case its a command line, which will stays in command line | 16:19 |
| Madwill | fml | 16:19 |
| Kaolc | Why? | 16:19 |
| Madwill | clients choice | 16:19 |
| Kaolc | Oh. I don't know about mine | 16:19 |
| Kaolc | Is that the difference between ubuntu and ubuntu server edition btw? | 16:20 |
| Kaolc | commandline only? | 16:20 |
| Madwill | we have no expertise and they think i have i can do it | 16:20 |
| Madwill | pretty much and comes pre packaged with server stuffs | 16:20 |
| Kaolc | and if so, how do I check if mine is server edit? | 16:20 |
| Madwill | well if you take desktop remove gui and add server stuff you end up with the same thing | 16:21 |
| Crankygeek01 | Mbroeker: Any other ideas? | 16:21 |
| jimcooncat | Kaolc: in times past, I don't know about now, the server kernel used a different scheduler than the desktop kernel | 16:21 |
| jrib | Kaolc: ubuntu server doesn't have X by default (and runs a -server kernel) | 16:21 |
| Madwill | so i guess you cannot know | 16:21 |
| jrib | Kaolc: check what kernel you are running | 16:21 |
| Madwill | oh | 16:21 |
| Kaolc | So is there some sort of easy command I can use? | 16:21 |
| mbroeker | Crankygeek01, psql -U egroupware; select * from egw_access_log; | 16:21 |
| jrib | Kaolc: uname -r | 16:22 |

| jrib | Kaolc: what ubuntu version is this? That's not a standard kernel | 16:23 |
| Kaolc | I have no idea. Edbian, why? | 16:23 |
| edbian | Kaolc, You're in luck I used to do this all the time. I just don't have putty in front of me so I can help walk you through the settings. | 16:23 |
| jrib | !version | Kaolc | 16:23 |
| ubottu | Kaolc: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 16:23 |
| Kaolc | ah, so what do you want me to do? | 16:23 |
| edbian | Kaolc, We need to change the settings you use to connect. Have you started xming? | 16:23 |

| edbian | Kaolc, Well in order to forward the graphics you need it so start that download. | 16:24 |
| multi_io | is editing /etc/network/interfaces the recommended way? | 16:24 |
| Kaolc | edbian, do you want me to get teamviewer or something and help me if you have the time? | 16:24 |
| edbian | Kaolc, Additionally you should sudo apt-get install nautilus on your server. | 16:24 |
| edbian | Kaolc, I don't even know what teamviewer is. I do have time though. | 16:24 |
| mbroeker | Crankygeek01, when in doubt, install phppgadmin and check it online :) | 16:24 |

| preetam | can anybody tell me how to check my internet speed in ubuntu 10.04 | 16:24 |
| Kaolc | teamviewer is a remote desktop controller sorta thing | 16:24 |
| Kaolc | But I guess you're not running windows. | 16:25 |
| edbian | Kaolc, nautilus is the linux equivalent of windows explorer. It will depend on X server and install all things necessary for a guy. | 16:25 |
| edbian | gui. | 16:25 |
| edbian | Kaolc, We don't need teamviewer. | 16:25 |
| Kaolc | Ahhh.. I thought it was unbuntu-desktop | 16:25 |
| edbian | Kaolc, I'd rather you learned anyway :) | 16:25 |
| qwd | preetam: http://www.speedtest.net/ maybe? | 16:25 |
| Kaolc | sure, okay | 16:25 |
| famicube64 | I like Speakeasy for those kinds of things | 16:25 |

| === Ziaeon_ is now known as Ziaeon | ||
| qwd | preetam: it uses flash though. You could also try just getting a popular torrent. | 16:26 |
| Kaolc | nautilus is already the newest version. | 16:26 |
| edbian | Kaolc, Then you have graphics installed. | 16:26 |
| edbian | Kaolc, Which is excellent | 16:26 |
| Kaolc | So I need to download xming on my windows computer now? | 16:26 |
| edbian | Kaolc, http://www.math.umn.edu/systems_guide/putty_xwin32.html This lays out how to set putty very clearly. You need xming running before this will work. | 16:26 |
| Kaolc | xming running on windows, correct? Also, server version for windows or what? I'm sorta confused about that one. | 16:27 |
| jca1981 | my upgrade to lucid failed, getting this error when i do a dpkg --configure -a http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/485784/ | 16:27 |

| ChrisBuchholz | Hey guys. Where can I get both the maverick radiance and ambiance themes? In the packages i have installed, and can find, i only get the ambiance theme. Any ideas? | 16:27 |
| Kaolc | edbian, so I download this correct? http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/ | 16:28 |
| edbian | Kaolc, It doesn't matter what the hell the client is. Windows xp client or 7 server | 16:28 |
| kshatriya | running karmic,rhythm box 0.12.5,empathy 2.30, curretn song is not being updated in emapthy....im status is checked in plugin | 16:28 |

| bbeck | I was wondering if the new ubuntu desktop font has finally made it into public beta yet? I'm very anxious to try it on a KDE desktop. | 16:29 |
| edbian | Kaolc, I like this tutorial even better than the other one. It explains more and is closer to what you're doing. http://www.cs.caltech.edu/courses/cs11/misc/xwindows.html | 16:29 |
| Kaolc | edbian, xming running, I got a tray icon | 16:29 |
| edbian | Kaolc, Good. Follow that most recent guide. Just make the settings in putty and connect. | 16:29 |
| Kaolc | ebdian, do you want me to read it or follow your advice? | 16:29 |
| Kaolc | edbian, okay | 16:30 |
| edbian | Kaolc, My advice and reading the tutorial should be the same. | 16:30 |
| Madwill | Wait a minute can i download Xming and have a interface for my remote server which will communicate via SSh with xmins | 16:30 |
| amit | hi all | 16:30 |
| jca1981 | Need Help : my upgrade to lucid failed, getting this error when i do a dpkg --configure -a http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/485784/ | 16:30 |
| edbian | Kaolc, Once you have xming running and putty properly configured and connected to the server. YOu should be able to run a command like "xclock" or "firefox" and it shows up on the client but is actually on the server. | 16:31 |
| edbian | Madwill, Yes | 16:31 |
| bbeck | BTW, I'm using the droid font, and it is wonderful. (Just in case there are people that are unhappy with their fonts and are looking for something better.) | 16:31 |
| Madwill | Wow just wow, so does the server needs any aditionnal installation | 16:31 |
| ChrisBuchholz | Pici: thanks ;) | 16:31 |
| kshatriya | hi all m having problem...current song not getting updated in empathy status | 16:31 |
| hyxf | hello | 16:31 |
| edbian | Madwill, The server needs to have graphical apps and therefore an X server of it's own. It is important to note that the server does not need to run it's X server at all. | 16:32 |
| edbian | Madwill, Most don't. | 16:32 |
| hyxf | I am coming | 16:32 |
| Kaolc | edbian, I gotta go for half an hour. I'll follow the link when I get back. Thank you for your help! (: | 16:32 |
| Madwill | fine edbian you sir are a gentleman and a scholar | 16:32 |
| === Weust` is now known as Weust`afk | ||
| edbian | Madwill, You can't run firefox and forward the gui over an X session if firefox isn't installed. Installing firefox automatically installs all the things you need for a graphical environment. But once it's installed you don't have to run any of that stuff on the server. | 16:33 |
| Kaolc | seconded. Cya. | 16:33 |
| kshatriya | hi all..... | 16:33 |
| kshatriya | are my quetiongs visible? | 16:33 |
| FlashDeluxe | @all: how can i backup my partitiontable which is currently running (i made changes to it, these changes will take effect by the next reboot and it don`t want them to take effect, so i want to correct my changes back) | 16:33 |

| kshatriya | ok.. i thought my updates are not visible....i thoght i did some mistaked in configuring IRC.. | 16:34 |
| edbian | Madwill, ha ha thanks? | 16:34 |
| Madwill | ok, sounds fine, if my points is only to get some phpfiles, a couple of swfs and a big sql command i should not go for a x server integration right | 16:35 |
| edbian | Kaolc, Bye | 16:35 |
| adminewb | is there an easy way, like from a terminal, to reset my DVD drive controller? Brasero didn't like me canceling out of a long simulated blank disk rewrite and the controller now refuses to eject; can I do this without rebooting? | 16:35 |
| pksadiq | !hungry | 16:35 |
| ilovefairuz | FlashDeluxe: so are you trying to backup your partition or to roll back changes? | 16:35 |
| edbian | Madwill, Are your phpfiles in a sql server? I'm a bit confused there. | 16:35 |
| edbian | Madwill, x forwarding won't let you transfer files. You should use scp for that. | 16:35 |
| Madwill | haha | 16:35 |
| Madwill | ok | 16:36 |
| ilovefairuz | adminewb: it's just stimulated, kill the app | 16:36 |
| Madwill | i've got a vanilla server | 16:36 |
| FlashDeluxe | ilovefairuz: roll back changes :) | 16:36 |

| FlashDeluxe | ilovefairuz: the partition ID | 16:36 |
| ilovefairuz | adminewb: try "reject" from the command line | 16:36 |
| ilovefairuz | FlashDeluxe: how did you change it? and do you still have the old ID? | 16:37 |
| ilovefairuz | adminewb: ** "eject" | 16:37 |
| adminewb | ilovefairuz, 'reject'ed at the shell, it says nothing but gives a new prompt... did it do anything? | 16:37 |
| adminewb | oh heh | 16:38 |
| ilovefairuz | sleepy spelling | 16:38 |
| adminewb | ilovefairuz as I mentioned, it won't eject | 16:38 |
| adminewb | ilovefairuz how can I reset the controller? | 16:38 |
| ilovefairuz | adminewb: yes, but any error messages? | 16:38 |
| adminewb | ilovefairuz no error message | 16:38 |

| ilovefairuz | Don't use Wubi! | 16:57 |
| erdnase | Why? o_o | 16:58 |
| ilovefairuz | erdnase: it doesn't play well with grub2 | 16:58 |
| edbian | erdnase, It complicates things. When you have a problem on wubi it is more difficult to solve. | 16:58 |
| Leman_Russ | Araneidae; what are you talking about? | 16:58 |
| edbian | erdnase, Many people when confronted with a problem on a wubi system usually see the solution as "oh get rid of wubi then it will work" | 16:58 |
| Araneidae | Leman_Russ, I was mostly responding to Augustus | 16:59 |
| erdnase | Lol, Ok. I'll get rid of this. | 16:59 |
| guntbert | !who | Araneidae | 16:59 |
| ubottu | Araneidae: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 16:59 |
| Araneidae | Huh. | 16:59 |
| erdnase | edbian, ilovefairuz , anyhow, is it ok if i only give ubuntu 10gb worth of hard disk space? :P | 16:59 |
| Leman_Russ | I was referring to the point that Araneidae made about not being able to run Ubuntu from an HDD | 16:59 |
| Leman_Russ | Where the hell else are you going to run it from?? | 17:00 |
| ilovefairuz | edbian: you have no idea what you're talking about, wubi is known to NOT work with grub2 upgrades and leaves people locked out of their machine, unable to boot windows or ubuntu | 17:00 |
| Araneidae | Leman_Russ, my point is that the HDD is beside the point, what matters is the machine that's going to run it | 17:00 |
| edbian | erdnase, Yeah. That system only takes up 2Gb when it's first installed. Most people take up about 6 or 7Gb. Then whatever files you personally put on there varies widely. | 17:00 |
| erdnase | edbian, will it affect it's performance? | 17:01 |
| edbian | ilovefairuz, That sucks. I didn't claim to know anything about grub2 and wubi. | 17:01 |
| Leman_Russ | Araneidae; OK, you were being pedantic. fair enough | 17:01 |
| edbian | erdnase, There isn't any performance gain unless you fill a drive to >98% capacity. | 17:01 |
| edbian | performance drain... | 17:01 |
| Araneidae | I suppose I was, sorry, didn't really mean to be | 17:01 |
| basman1 | hi | 17:01 |
| erdnase | edbian, Thank you. | 17:01 |
| edbian | erdnase, Have fun! | 17:02 |
| ilovefairuz | edbian: then don't claim people just get rid of wubi because of ignorance of the true cause of their problems | 17:02 |
| erdnase | btw, is there a way for me to install ubuntu, without going through the whole ndiswrapper thing again? | 17:02 |
| ylmfos | 15555555555 | 17:02 |

| ylmfos | 6444444448848444444444444444444448 | 17:02 |
| Araneidae | What's mode +z, keep seeing that. Is it part of enabling -q? | 17:03 |
| ylmfos | #ubuntu ylmfos!*@ | 17:03 |
| sipior | ylmfos: something we can help you with? | 17:03 |
| edbian | ilovefairuz, What I said isn't false. wubi complicates issues with Ubuntu and people are reluctant to help with it. | 17:03 |
| Kaolc | edbian, I'm back. Will read the link you gave me and will let you know if I get in trouble if that's ok | 17:04 |
| erdnase | Guys. Is there a way for me to install ubuntu, and still retain the changes I've done in this wubi thing? | 17:04 |
| edbian | ilovefairuz, If you don't want me to talk about anything that I don't know in 100% entirety then I'm not sure I'd be able to talk about anything. | 17:04 |
| ilovefairuz | edbian: unless it gets proper quality assurance, the only reasonable advice for everyday users is to simply not use it | 17:04 |
| yukis | I copied a directory to another partition, then destroyed the old one (encrypted, ntfs) . but I found there are no directory but a file, how to extract it, and why? | 17:05 |
| Abhinav1 | hey dhruvasagar :) | 17:05 |
| edbian | erdnase, Back up your entire home folder somewhere outside of wubi. Like onto a USB key or something. Then when you install ubuntu for you real you can put them back in place. All user settings are stored in /home/userName in hidden files/folders that start with a . | 17:05 |
| edbian | ilovefairuz, I agree. | 17:05 |
| ilovefairuz | edbian: i wasn't "attacking" you personally, i was only responding to your wubi comment, sorry if it sounded harsh | 17:06 |
| erdnase | edbian, Thank you so much. (Yay, no more ndiswrapper install thingy >_>) | 17:06 |
| edbian | ilovefairuz, O good to know :) Do you mean that I shouldn't have suggested he get rid of it because that opens new problem? | 17:06 |
| edbian | erdnase, You might still need that ;) That has no bearing on wubi | 17:07 |
| jimcooncat | erdnase: as edbian said. if you don't have a USB or writeable CD, at least copy those files to your Windows partition -- it will be easier than trying to dig back into where wubi stores its files | 17:07 |
| erdnase | edbian, jimcooncat, I just copied everything to a portable hard drive. I'm... good to go. | 17:08 |
| erdnase | See you guys later, bye. :P | 17:08 |
| matthatesspam | I'm having a problem with my wireless card. Could I get some help? :) | 17:08 |
| ilovefairuz | edbian: If it's already installed, then it's only a problem when it becomes a problem. But for new installs, I highly recommend against it. | 17:08 |
| edbian | erdnase, Bye | 17:08 |
| edbian | ilovefairuz, Ok. We're on the same page :) | 17:09 |
| guntbert | ilovefairuz: may I PM you? | 17:09 |
| ilovefairuz | guntbert: yes | 17:09 |
| matthatesspam | I'm having a problem with my wireless card. Could I get some help? :) | 17:09 |
| edbian | guntbert, Not to gossip about me I hope! :P | 17:09 |
| edbian | matthatesspam, yeah. | 17:09 |
| erdnase | matthatesspam, what is it matt? | 17:09 |
| matthatesspam | edbian: Netbook remix won't recognize my wireless card. | 17:09 |
| edbian | matthatesspam, Does it show up in the output of sudo lspci ?? | 17:10 |
| matthatesspam | Desktop edition will, but I prefer the netbook remix. | 17:10 |
| matthatesspam | edbian: I'm rather new to linux, so what's that command? | 17:10 |
| edbian | matthatesspam, also, look at the end of the output of dmesg. Do you see anything regarding your wireless card? | 17:10 |
| edbian | matthatesspam, sudo lspci | 17:10 |
| edbian | matthatesspam, dmesg | 17:10 |
| matthatesspam | I'm actually not in ubuntu now | 17:10 |
| Kaolc | ebidian, I can't get xming to work | 17:11 |
| Guardian_ | Hola muy buenas tardes | 17:11 |
| matthatesspam | edbian: Should I log out and boot back into ubuntu? | 17:11 |
| guntbert | !es | Guardian_ | 17:11 |
| Kaolc | ebidian, I followed the link you gave me, but when I use the command xeyes & it gives me "Error: Can't open display" | 17:11 |
| ubottu | Guardian_: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 17:11 |
| edbian | matthatesspam, Yeah. To run those commands you need to be running Ubuntu :) | 17:12 |
| edbian | Kaolc, xming is running? | 17:12 |
| matthatesspam | edbian: All right. I'll be right back. | 17:12 |
| matthatesspam | :) | 17:12 |
| Bauldrick | how much slower should i expect my netbook to run if I output it to my TV 1028x* - when the normal resolution runs at 800x* with its screen? | 17:12 |
| Guardian_ | Thankas | 17:12 |
| yukis | I copied a directory to another partition, then destroyed the old one (encrypted, ntfs) . but I found there are no directory but a file, how to extract it, and why? | 17:12 |
| Guardian_ | thanks | 17:12 |
| Kaolc | edbian, yes xming is running, I have the tray icon | 17:13 |
| edbian | Kaolc, What settings did you do in putty? | 17:13 |
| edbian | Kaolc, I lost the link, can you give it to me so that I can see it again? | 17:13 |
| Kaolc | default settings, checked the x11 thing | 17:13 |
| Kaolc | edbian http://www.cs.caltech.edu/courses/cs11/misc/xwindows.html | 17:13 |
| edbian | Kaolc, If you hover the mouse over the icon it says "0:0 ?? | 17:14 |
| tehgeekmeister | do i need to restart cron for it to recognize new files in cron.d? | 17:14 |
| jimcooncat | tehgeekmeister: you're not supposed to have to | 17:15 |
| Kaolc | Yes, it does | 17:15 |
| sacarlson | tehgeekmeister: no, enless you didn't use crontab -e | 17:15 |
| Kaolc | hover over says "Xming Server:0.0" | 17:15 |
| edbian | Kaolc, They have a typo in the instructions. in X Display Location you should put localhost:0.0 NOT localhost:0:0 | 17:15 |
| Kaolc | I tried both | 17:15 |
| tehgeekmeister | sacarlson: ah, so i need to run crontab -e? | 17:15 |
| Kaolc | using a dot instead gives me the following error: | 17:16 |
| sacarlson | tehgeekmeister: only if you don't want to reboot or reset cron | 17:16 |
| edbian | Kaolc, Ignore 0:0 that is wrong. | 17:16 |
| edbian | Kaolc, lemme see the error :) | 17:16 |
| tehgeekmeister | sacarlson: well i was adding a new file to cron.d anyway, not editing crontab | 17:16 |
| unam3 | does any one know any site to read up on, booting a usb flash with ubuntu server on from a cd with grub, anything or similar would be helpful :-D | 17:16 |
| Kaolc | [1] 17675 | 17:16 |
| Kaolc | Error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0 | 17:16 |
| Kaolc | Weird thing is I put 1.0 not 10.0 in putty. | 17:16 |
| sacarlson | tehgeekmeister: well that's not the normal method, but I guess you must know what your doing. | 17:17 |
| jimcooncat | Kaolc: Putty adds 10, otherwise you'd be looking at your own display | 17:17 |
| Kaolc | Oh wait, I put localhost:0.0 and it gives me 10.0 for some reason. | 17:17 |
| tehgeekmeister | sacarlson: no, i have no clue, actually. | 17:17 |
| Kaolc | But then why isn't it working? | 17:17 |
| tehgeekmeister | sacarlson: should i put the entry into crontab instead? | 17:18 |
| tehgeekmeister | sacarlson: i was reverse engineering the sysstat cron file to figure out how to do mine | 17:18 |
| sacarlson | tehgeekmeister: cron is setup so any user account can setup a timed event. if that's what you want to do that is the normal method | 17:18 |
| guntbert | Kaolc: 10:0 is the default when working with ssh -X | 17:19 |
| Kaolc | guntbert, what doesthat mean exactly? | 17:19 |
| sacarlson | tehgeekmeister: try man crontab for more info | 17:19 |
| edbian | Kaolc, That is the problem. 10.0 != 0.0 | 17:19 |
| === syonzet is now known as syon | ||
| matthatesspam | edbian: Back | 17:19 |
| tehgeekmeister | sacarlson: okay, thanks | 17:19 |
| Kaolc | So should I set it to -10.0? O_o | 17:19 |
| edbian | Kaolc, You're running xming at 0.0 you have to get putty to connect to it or change it. | 17:19 |
| sacarlson | tehgeekmeister: systat? | 17:19 |
| edbian | Kaolc, I don't know. | 17:19 |
| jimcooncat | Kaolc: how do you start xming? you'll need to tell it to use display 10 | 17:19 |
| edbian | guntbert, He should be able to tell putty to connect to whatever sever he wants | 17:20 |
| tehgeekmeister | sacarlson: yeah, it dumps reports for sar | 17:20 |
| Kaolc | I just ticked run after installation | 17:20 |
| bkeating | Morning guys. Wondering if anyone could help me figure out why this is not working: http://dpaste.com/236317/ | 17:20 |
| edbian | jimcooncat, He should be able to tell putty to use whatever X server he wants | 17:20 |
| guntbert | Kaolc: I didn't follow - was just a hint | 17:20 |
| sacarlson | tehgeekmeister: what account does it run in? | 17:20 |
| matthatesspam | edbian, what do I do from here? | 17:20 |
| edbian | matthatesspam, Sorry I forget what we are working on? | 17:20 |
| matthatesspam | Wireless trouble | 17:20 |
| Kaolc | Okay, so basically.. What do I do? I still don't understand the error. | 17:20 |
| tehgeekmeister | sacarlson: sysstat runs as root, think it has to | 17:20 |
| guntbert | edbian: yes, but obviously he didn't until now | 17:20 |
| edbian | guntbert, He is specifying 0.0 and it's attempting to connect to 10.0 | 17:21 |
| tehgeekmeister | sacarlson: or at least i *believe* it runs as root. if it doesn't, i don't know what account it uses. | 17:21 |
| rantic | Hi everyone, I just freshly installed 10.04.1 and am getting an error every time my computer boots for 15-20 seconds. Could anyone help me find out where it might be logged on my system? | 17:21 |
| edbian | Kaolc, Those are locations of server. It's a virtual location. Basically you have to get those numbers to be the same number. | 17:21 |
| matthatesspam | edbian, we were discussing wireless trouble in the netbook remix | 17:21 |
| Kaolc | edbian, okay, I see.. Why does it add 10? | 17:22 |
| edbian | Kaolc, Either figure out how to get putty to connect to 0.0 or get xming to have a server at 10.0 | 17:22 |
| sacarlson | tehgeekmeister: not sure what it does or what it is. what is it you want to do with cron or what is it you want to modify in systat? | 17:22 |
| edbian | Kaolc, I don't know how to do either one (well I do know putty but it doesn't seem to be listening) | 17:22 |
| edbian | matthatesspam, What did dmesg have to say? | 17:22 |
| Kaolc | okay, I set it to localhost:-10.0 and it's still trying 10.0 | 17:22 |
| edbian | matthatesspam, What about lspci? Does the hardware show up there? | 17:22 |
| Kaolc | How do I run my xming server on 10.0 then? Would be easier | 17:22 |
| tehgeekmeister | sacarlson: i want a script to run right after sysstat dumps it's statistics, to send me an email if the idle percentage drops too low | 17:22 |
| edbian | Kaolc, putty is ingoring you. Right click the xming icon. Are there settings for that? | 17:22 |
| guntbert | Kaolc: can you tell me shortly what you want to do? | 17:22 |
| edbian | guntbert, X forward over ssh using putty and xming on a windows client | 17:23 |
| Kaolc | well that was fast, yeah | 17:23 |
| blabluh | hey everybody | 17:23 |
| matthatesspam | edbian: It's showing an ethernet controller and a network controller | 17:23 |
| sacarlson | tehgeekmeister: if you just modify something like that just restart cron. it should work fine. | 17:24 |
| matthatesspam | edbian: And I'm not sure what dmesg pulled up. | 17:24 |
| tehgeekmeister | sacarlson: cool, thanks | 17:24 |
| edbian | matthatesspam, Well then I'm not sure what to do next. | 17:24 |
| Kaolc | edbian, I got xming to say 10.0 now | 17:24 |
| rantic | Hi everyone, I just freshly installed 10.04.1 and am getting an error every time my computer boots for 15-20 seconds. Could anyone help me find out where it might be logged on my system? | 17:24 |
| edbian | matthatesspam, No offense but I didn't ask you to run dmesg and then forget the output. | 17:24 |
| edbian | Kaolc, So restart your putty connection with x forwarding and all that. | 17:25 |
| guntbert | Kaolc: that is easy, you must have the xming running on your windows machine, the in putty set (in the SSH region) "enable X forwarding", connect to the server and start any graphical app | 17:25 |
| matthatesspam | edbian, I don't know what dmesg was. | 17:25 |
| matthatesspam | I'm new to linxu | 17:25 |
| guntbert | *then in putty.... | 17:25 |
| Kaolc | guntbert, that's exactly what I did | 17:25 |
| Kaolc | guntbert, it gives me an error and won't work. We're trying to fix it | 17:25 |
| guntbert | Kaolc: what was the error | 17:26 |
| edbian | matthatesspam, It is a general system log. It is good for solving problem early on. Run it again ("dmesg") and see if it has anything helpful. Look only at the last 25 lines though. The beginning is not going to be relevant. | 17:26 |
| Kaolc | umm sec | 17:26 |
| matthatesspam | Oh, OK | 17:26 |
| Kaolc | Error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0 | 17:26 |
| edbian | Kaolc, Now that you got them on the same server number does it work? Or still no? New error? | 17:26 |
| guest__ | Question: I'm trying to prepare for LPI-C 1 (101 and 102) Has anyone here done this with Ubuntu (or a derivative thereof)? I'm concerned that going sans root will leave me knowing workarounds instead of the 'Linux' way of doing things... Any thoughts? | 17:26 |
| Kaolc | Still not working. | 17:26 |
| edbian | Kaolc, It has the same error? What does hovering over xming show? 10.0 ?? | 17:27 |
| jimcooncat | edbian: perhaps Kaolc's sshd on the other end isn't set up for X forwarding | 17:27 |
| matthatesspam | edbian, the last twenty lines or so it repeats this rtl8192_SetWirelessMode(), wireless_mode:10, bEnableHT = 1" | 17:27 |
| Kaolc | Same error, hovering gives 10.0 | 17:27 |
| guntbert | Kaolc: I know that error - the remote machine - is it a "normal" ubuntu machine? | 17:27 |
| Kaolc | guntbert, define normal | 17:27 |
| Kaolc | guntbert, it's a rented VPS server | 17:27 |
| edbian | matthatesspam, Hmmm it appears to be working? Wireless networks do not show up in the panel applet? | 17:27 |
| edbian | guntbert, It is. | 17:28 |
| edbian | guntbert, It's not "server edition" | 17:28 |
| Kaolc | ah right | 17:28 |
| edbian | guntbert, What is with this error? | 17:28 |
| matthatesspam | edbian: The problem is ubuntu isn't recognizing my wireless network, but it has no problems with viewing my neighbor's. | 17:28 |
| guntbert | Kaolc: aahh - that changes things - did you install the OS yourself? | 17:28 |
| Kaolc | guntbert, no | 17:28 |
| edbian | matthatesspam, Then that's a problem with your wifi not your laptop. | 17:28 |
| Scans | hello,am facing a lil problem with reading arabic font from text that was in windows os and i already install arabic package, is there any way to read the text again? | 17:29 |
| edbian | guntbert, What difference does it make with it's server edition? I feel like you're holding out on us! :) | 17:29 |
| matthatesspam | edbian: I can connect when I'm using Win7 though, and when I'm in the 10.04 desktop live CD | 17:29 |
| guntbert | Kaolc: I had that problem on some remote machine too - they seem to prevent that method of X tunneling | 17:29 |
| Kaolc | guntbert, what do I do then? | 17:29 |
| Kaolc | guntbert, I talked to them and they wouldn't help setting up any GUI but said that if I wanted one I'd have to do it myself, which leads me to believe it's possible | 17:30 |
| guntbert | edbian: no, nothing to do with server/desktop see ^^ | 17:30 |
| aeon-ltd | edbian: no X related crap in server edition | 17:30 |
| guntbert | aeon-ltd: please... | 17:30 |
| edbian | aeon-ltd, Hes running normal | 17:30 |
| guest__ | Anyone here with LPI Certs? | 17:31 |
| edbian | guntbert, Who is "they" ?? The people who own the server? | 17:31 |
| guntbert | edbian: yes, they installed the OS too and made changes | 17:31 |
| edbian | guntbert, It is odd that it is a normal Ubuntu install and not server edition especially since they won't allow him to x forward. | 17:31 |
| edbian | guntbert, I see. | 17:31 |
| edbian | Kaolc, This sucks | 17:31 |
| Scans | hello,am facing a lil problem with reading arabic font from text that was in windows os and i already install arabic package, is there any way to read the text again? any idea guys? | 17:31 |
| xstex | ciao a tutti | 17:33 |
| guntbert | Kaolc: sorry, I gave up on that machine (text mode is fine :-)) - so I cannot really help you | 17:33 |
| guest__ | Thanks guys. Guess I should have a better nick if I want to be noticed. I feel like im in a | 17:33 |

| Kaolc | guntbert, I need a GUI to run mirc with scripts etc on it | 17:33 |
| guest__ | peace | 17:33 |
| guntbert | Kaolc: then run irssi | 17:34 |
| Kaolc | guntbert, what's irssi? I need something that supports the MIRC scripting language | 17:34 |
| sipher | Kaolc: nothing for linux that supports mIRC scripting. | 17:34 |
| guntbert | irssi | Kaolc | 17:34 |
| IdleOne | Kaolc: in that case you need to run mirc | 17:34 |
| guntbert | !irssi | Kaolc | 17:34 |
| ubottu | Kaolc: Irssi is a terminal based IRC client. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi for help. See also !screen | 17:34 |
| Kaolc | Idle0ne, exactly. That's why I need a GUI | 17:35 |
| IdleOne | Kaolc: xchat is a GUI client | 17:35 |
| sipher | Kaolc: x-chat supports perl scripts and has a gui. | 17:35 |
| Kaolc | I don't need perl scripts, I already made a huge mirc script which I need running 24/7. | 17:35 |
| sipher | Kaolc: they WILL NOT run on linux. | 17:36 |
| IdleOne | Kaolc: you can run mirc in wine if you absolutely need to | 17:36 |
| sipher | Kaolc: unless you run mIRC in wine. | 17:36 |
| Kaolc | Idle0ne, wine requires a GUI version of Unbuntu though, right? That's where I get stuck again | 17:36 |
| Kaolc | I mean, to fully operate mirc | 17:36 |
| tommjames | i ran mIRC in wine for a while, had some strange window refresh issues though | 17:36 |
| IdleOne | Kaolc: you want to run a GUI client with a GUI? | 17:36 |
| sipher | Kaolc: lol. of course. You need X for anything graphical. (other than ncurses interfaces) | 17:36 |
| IdleOne | without* | 17:36 |
| Kaolc | idleone, yes | 17:37 |
| Kaolc | sipher, problem is that x isn't working out | 17:37 |
| IdleOne | Kaolc: that is not possible | 17:37 |
| sipher | Kaolc: you have a VPS? from that sounds of it... | 17:37 |
| Kaolc | Idle0ne, are you saying it's not possible to run xserver - > server -> wine -> mirc? | 17:37 |
| sipher | the | 17:37 |
| Kaolc | sipher, yes | 17:37 |
| sipher | Kaolc: ask your hosting provider to re-install the VPS with ubuntu desktop. | 17:37 |
| sipher | that or install X | 17:38 |
| Kaolc | sipher, okay. I wonder if they'll do it, but okay. Thanks. | 17:38 |
| Pici | Kaolc: or with windows. | 17:38 |
| Kaolc | X isn't working, that's my problem | 17:38 |
| aetaric | sipher: that might not be possible. | 17:38 |
| Kaolc | Pici, yeah, except that's way more expensive, so I wanted to try this first | 17:38 |
| Kaolc | Plus, I guess I learned something. Oh well. | 17:38 |
| Kaolc | Now, I wonder what to do with the Ubuntu VPS. Any suggestions? | 17:39 |
| axisys | what is "best practice" method to move from a 250G (100G free) disk to 750G disk .. i am replacing the hard drive in my laptop.. i am running ubuntu desktop 64bit 10.04 | 17:41 |

| Fendaril_ | Can somebody explain why I need uterm to bring up any vterm menus? | 17:41 |
| Fendaril_ | it seems logical that the thing I am trying to emulate should have its own menu | 17:41 |
| Fendaril_ | but no | 17:41 |
| sipher | axisys: dd has worked well for me in the past. | 17:41 |
| Fendaril_ | only uterm does that | 17:41 |
| Fendaril_ | I mean whats the difference between a unicode emulating terminal and juist xterm | 17:41 |
| fjkldlkjdkljj | hey | 17:41 |
| Fendaril_ | xterm should bring a menu | 17:42 |
| fjkldlkjdkljj | i just learned something serious | 17:42 |
| axisys | sipher: i dont need exact snapshot really.. | 17:42 |
| sipher | axisys: another way would be to install a fresh ubuntu on the new disk, and copy over the data you want. | 17:42 |
| fjkldlkjdkljj | my brother works for the police and there's this guy named "kenichi" on here | 17:42 |

| axisys | sipher: yep | 17:45 |

| ZykoticK9 | Thecake, if you've removed pulse you won't get the default volume control | 17:46 |

| MarkRich | Hello Everyone, | 18:34 |
| MarkRich | I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 with Evolution 2.28.3. I just installed client & as I went through the installation the dialog box for selecting the incoming & outgoing mail servers was not selectable. | 18:34 |
| MarkRich | After the install I went into Edit, Preferences, & for the Recieving Mail menu showed the server type as none. When I click on the drop down arrow nothing happens. The Server Type menu for the outgoing mail server is not even selectable. | 18:34 |
| lenswipe|debian | how do i find out what make and model my video card is? | 18:34 |
| MarkRich | I removed & reinstalled it several times. I also installed the evolution-exchange even though I figured this would be installed by default. What do you think it might be? Thanks | 18:34 |
| smw | lenswipe|debian, try lspci | grep -i "vga" | 18:35 |

| sacarlson | smw: do you have a bluetooth device on that computer? | 18:35 |
| Fendaril_ | I was experimenting with my menubar and unclicked the show menubar option | 18:35 |
| Fendaril_ | how Do I bring it back? | 18:35 |
| synvilla | avi_: It's not under appications. I installed 7zip, because archieve manager won't let me open RAR | 18:35 |
| smw | sacarlson, yes. When I don't have one. It does not even give me the option to enable it | 18:35 |
| th0r | seidos: look at the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications (usually), or run the program and look at 'ps ax' | 18:35 |
| sanduz2 | can someone tell me how to use Emacs through the terminal and not graphically? | 18:35 |
| geirha | Fendaril_: Right-click in the terminal window and choose show menubar | 18:35 |
| avi_ | synvilla: Then it would most likely not have an entry there. It probably just added a contextual menu item to Nautilus | 18:35 |
| === CrEddy_ is now known as CrEddy | ||
| synvilla | avi_: not following | 18:36 |
| avi_ | synvilla: So just right-click the compressed file and select 7zip. | 18:36 |
| adalal | hi, i was just wondering, can UID range restrictions be changed? as in, any uid < 1000 is a system user, could that be extended to be up to 2000? | 18:36 |
| Fendaril_ | geirha: Thank you sir | 18:36 |
| synvilla | avi_: that doesn't work, it wants to know where on the computer it is, I need to click on browse blabla. because 7zip is not in the list | 18:37 |
| jrib | ubuntu: pastebin /mnt/etc/fstab | 18:37 |
| KrisKo | hi, anybody using screen? Is there a way to move opened tabs to a different possition? | 18:37 |
| trism | synvilla: the 7zip in the repos is only a command line version, but archive manager and the right-click compress option can both use it when it is installed | 18:37 |
| avi_ | synvilla: Try typing "killall nautilus" into a terminal. | 18:37 |

| Fendaril_ | avi_: i WILL TRY | 18:38 |
| Fendaril_ | killall nautilus | 18:38 |
| Fendaril_ | oh right this is irssi not a terminal prompt | 18:38 |
| dobak | hello | 18:38 |
| jrib | ubuntu: I don't see what's wrong, the UUID is clearly correct and you can mount the partition fine on the live cd. Was there nothing else on the screen with the error message? | 18:38 |
| avi_ | Fendaril_: Aha. | 18:38 |
| seidos | th0r, thanks. so they are .desktop files? interesting | 18:38 |

| ubuntu | jrib: while upgrading it hangs during setup and while booting it hangs on login itself it doesnt login | 18:41 |
| trism | synvilla: there is no 7zip gui like in windows, if you want to unrar, you need to install unrar | 18:41 |
| trism | synvilla: then archive manager can extract rars | 18:41 |
| jrib | is there a better way to create 63 new users than to write a small shell script involving useradd and crypt()? | 18:41 |
| synvilla | hmm | 18:41 |

| synvilla | Anyone - how do I unrar now that I have unraring software? | 18:47 |
| trism | synvilla: at this point you should just be able to select the right file, right click, and "Extract here...", or open with archive manager | 18:47 |
| ulisse | erUSUL: is there any specific command to purge the logs? | 18:47 |

| adalal | smw: right... maybe you should try installing it :P... try sudo apt-get install bluetooth | 18:48 |
| erUSUL | synvilla: maybe you have to log out and log in again so nautilus and file-roller notice that you have unrar or rar installed | 18:48 |
| erUSUL | !java | JamesC | 18:48 |
| ubottu | JamesC: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. | 18:48 |

The best google research I could do was to determine it's probably an issue with the memory card reader. | 18:49 |

| robyromania | ikonia, they don't do much talking about ubuntu. they just said, i should move to another distro which is not broken, or ask the devs | 19:02 |
| ikonia | idhenk: open the hardware driver manager, and click enable against the nvidia option | 19:02 |
| robyromania | ikonia, there is no problem in the package | 19:02 |
| ikonia | robyromania: they don't have to talk about it, they need to log a bug against it | 19:02 |
| idhenk | cant | 19:02 |
| robyromania | ikonia, it's in the system, i don't know. it just works on karmic, but not on lucid | 19:02 |
| ikonia | robyromania: then they need to log a bug ? | 19:03 |

| MarkRich | Hello Everyone, | 19:03 |
| MarkRich | The Evolution mail client for Ubuntu is not working. | 19:03 |
| MarkRich | I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 with Evolution 2.28.3. I just installed client & as I went through the installation the dialog box for selecting the incoming & outgoing mail servers was not selectable. | 19:03 |
| robyromania | ikonia, i don't know, do they? it's no bug, the application is working. it's only not doing what it's supposed to | 19:03 |
| MarkRich | After the install I went into Edit, Preferences, & for the Recieving Mail menu showed the server type as none. When I click on the drop down arrow nothing happens. The Server Type menu for the outgoing mail server is not even selectable. | 19:03 |
| JamesC | I'm still kind of confused so I'll repost the question: | 19:03 |
| robyromania | ikonia, have you ever used aircrack-ng? | 19:04 |
| ikonia | robyromania: look - if there is a bug, they need to log a bug, if there is not a bug, what are you talking about | 19:04 |
| MarkRich | I removed & reinstalled it several times. I also installed the evolution-exchange even though I figured this would be installed by default. I also deleted the .evolution directory. | 19:04 |
| MarkRich | What do you think it might be? Thanks | 19:04 |
| robyromania | ikonia, maybe it's broken functionality. i'm telling them to log a bug, let's see what they say | 19:05 |

| ikonia | robyromania: not really, it means you need to log a bug against the problem | 19:09 |
| Pici | JamesC: 'repos' are the Ubuntu package repositories, which are the proper way to install software on Ubuntu. | 19:10 |

| Scans | cccasket: what do u mean | 20:20 |
| whitepheasant | Trying to make a double click "instant start up" desktop thing. Usually, I make a file, type in "terminal commands inside", then save it and mark the file with permission to execute. (Those type of things will not need to run as root, but now I have this apache server that always bugs me to put in a password after I run a terminal command like this: sudo /opt/lampp/lampp startapache | 20:20 |
| wizzle | securityxxxpert, static ip, u told me to read it | 20:21 |
| whitepheasant | SO i just want to "double click and forget". This would be "same machine", I'm not doing anything over the network. | 20:21 |
| cccasket | whitepheasant: you can set up passwordless sudo for specific commands only | 20:21 |
| securityxxxpert | wizzle yeah man that's what you need to read on | 20:21 |
| securityxxxpert | it woudl be in your router config | 20:22 |
| lesh4rk_ | maco: ok! but i can search from help here? or it's wrong? because i need from simple help, nothing much. i can? | 20:22 |
| tasslehoff | erUSUL: hmmm. I deleted the two lines about eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces, and the applet is back... | 20:22 |
| erUSUL | rantic: you just add three lines to the file | 20:22 |
| jrib | whitepheasant: why don't you just use the apache in the repositories? | 20:22 |
| tasslehoff | (after a reboot) | 20:22 |
| cccasket | whitepheasant: basically whitelist your startup script | 20:22 |
| maco | lesh4rk_: no, only ubuntu stuff is on topic here, sorry | 20:22 |
| rantic | erUSUL: Yep done, I'm going to reboot and hope everything goes Ok. Thanks guys and brb | 20:22 |
| erUSUL | tasslehoff: weird; nm should ignore ifaces listed there | 20:22 |
| lesh4rk_ | maco: no problem! bye! | 20:22 |
| cccasket | whitepheasant: or just make your dev server owned by a non admin user | 20:22 |
| dendrite | zpm: got it working. installed the wine 1.3 beta and all is fine | 20:23 |
| whitepheasant | I'm using "Xampp" because it's short, simple, easy and too the point. It's even portable and I'm not runnng a serious webserver. I just "unzip my xampp download" and test my PHP webpage scripts. | 20:23 |

| cccasket | whitepheasant: actually, i misspoke - changing owner won't help, because you need to bind to a privileged port unless you change from port 80 | 20:24 |
| rantic | erUSUL: Unfortunately it now hangs with the black screen slightly longer then before and I have no message. | 20:24 |
| cccasket | whitepheasant: you will find support a lot easier with the ubuntu supplied apache/php/mysql as jrib said | 20:24 |
| erUSUL | rantic: :/ then maybe we need to take a look at the dmesg... | 20:25 |
| whitepheasant | Hmm, using certain ports makes the apps bug me for passies? | 20:25 |
| pure_hate | ikonia, ping | 20:25 |
| rantic | erUSUL: It's entirely possibly mine is different from their's, it's just that the forum messages about what happens to them on boot sounded bang on. Also because the message flickers so quickly I could only pick up that one "Uknown controller" piece of it | 20:25 |
| erUSUL | whitepheasant: ports under 1024 are restricted. the ones above are not. | 20:25 |
| cccasket | whitepheasant: yes. try changing the port to a 5 digit high port, see if it recognizes that it doesn't need root privileges | 20:26 |
| cccasket | whitepheasant: i know nothing of xampp's control structure | 20:26 |

| SLierFox | Hi all having trouble booting ubuntu on a toshiba satellite 1130 can anyone help me ? | 20:27 |
| jrib | Humle91: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) | 20:27 |
| dougl | err if nvidia drivers are installed? | 20:28 |
| erUSUL | securityxxxpert: no init found? that means that either 1) grub passed the wrong root option to the kernel ( the wrong partition ) 2) the filesystem in the partition is hosed/messed up and init ( is a program ) is not there anymore / corrupt | 20:28 |
| rantic | erUSUL: Nothing shows up like "Unknown etc etc etc..." do I need to delete those blacklists I made, reboot and dmesg again? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/9iu3ic1v | 20:28 |
| Pici | dougl: Not to my knowledge. iirc, there is a vlc ppa that has it enabled. | 20:28 |

| securityxxxpert | erUSUL: I know for a fact i can mount /dev/sda1 though | 20:30 |
| seidos | SLierFox, you might want to try the LTS version | 20:30 |
| erUSUL | securityxxxpert: and everything seems to be there ? | 20:30 |
| SLierFox | seidos what is the lts ver ? | 20:31 |
| Raydiation | why does flash work so well in ubuntu? | 20:31 |
| sergio__ | salve | 20:31 |
| seidos | SLierFox, 8.04 hardy heron i believe | 20:31 |
| Raydiation | i can even watch fullscreen yt vids | 20:31 |

| ubottu | This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » | 20:31 |
| securityxxxpert | erUSUL: from what I can tell everything is there. My guess is the uid's changed or something or the root partition isn't correct, but I can't get root to edit the grub file | 20:31 |
| seidos | Raydiation, talented hard working developers? | 20:31 |
| SLierFox | seidos is that still supported ? | 20:31 |
| seidos | SLierFox, good question. | 20:32 |
| Raydiation | seidos: all other distros have problems with flash | 20:32 |
| seidos | Raydiation, they must not support non-free flash plugins | 20:32 |
| MichealH | seidos: The current lts is 10.04 | 20:33 |
| erUSUL | securityxxxpert: you will have to take a look at /boot/grub/grub.cfg and see if it passes the correct uuid to the kernel « sudo blkid » is the command to find out the uuids of your partitions | 20:33 |
| MichealH | Not 8.10 | 20:33 |
| SLierFox | MichealH so what is the LTs version compared to the desktop ver ? | 20:33 |
| MichealH | !lts | SLierFox | 20:34 |
| ubottu | SLierFox: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 20:34 |
| securityxxxpert | erUSUL: Does having the disc encryption option change anything | 20:34 |
| erUSUL | securityxxxpert: really dunno; never used it myself | 20:34 |
| SLierFox | so the desktop version isnt the lts ver ? im confused | 20:34 |
| discozohan | should i mirror swap for raid1 for system ? Or how should partitions look like ? | 20:35 |
| seidos | SLierFox, sorry, i confused matters. 8.04 used to be the Long term support (LTS) version, but now 10.04 is. my thinking is the problem is probably with the kernel and your video driver. | 20:35 |
| securityxxxpert | erUSUL: when I mounted the /dev/sda1 it shows me what looks to be kernel files. As well as a grub one, but when I open the grub one in nano it's blank | 20:35 |
| MichealH | SLierFox: The Desktop Version which id the one you will use by standard is supported for 3 years | 20:35 |
| seidos | SLierFox, which is why i recommended trying 8.04 (different kernel). | 20:35 |
| MichealH | seidos: :-) | 20:35 |
| rantic | erUSUL: No luck | 20:36 |
| erUSUL | securityxxxpert: what file did you open? /boot/grub/grub.cfg ? /boot/grub/menu.lst is not used anymore | 20:36 |
| erUSUL | rantic: :/ | 20:36 |
| adampiek | Hey guys, I've got a problem... | 20:37 |
| securityxxxpert | erUSUL: I did this mount /dev/sda1 /media/root | 20:37 |

| Gobgrot | Can anyone help? Brand new user and Im having a problem. One of my hard drives is no longer showing up in the file manager | 20:37 |
| seidos | SLierFox, honestly, i am guessing only a developer could help you with your problem. i would be surprised if i am wrong. sounds like a bug between your video adapter and the kernel | 20:37 |
| securityxxxpert | ErUSUL: when I cd'd to /media/root and did ls is all it said was grub. Want a paste bin? | 20:37 |
| SLierFox | MichealH/ seidos ok so as the laptop is using a i855 gpu cant i just change the 'quiet splash' command and tell it which to use ? | 20:37 |

| rantic | erUSUL: I just don't understand what could be causing this ><. It didn't occur on Ubuntu 9.10 and it didn't happen on LInux MInt 9 which as far as I can tell was based on 10.04 | 20:40 |
| erUSUL | securityxxxpert: it looks like you mounted /boot/ not root / | 20:41 |
| SLierFox | MichealH i had this problem installing Mint and guessing they use the same kernal there is a gpu bug with both i used radeion.modeset=1 to work around it | 20:41 |
| mawst | Sounds like the drive is toast adampiek | 20:41 |
| mawst | You could try cleaning the lense etc. | 20:41 |
| discozohan | what is the best practice to use mdadm RAID1 for system ? Should i mirror swap ? | 20:41 |
| mawst | At your own risk. | 20:41 |
| erUSUL | rantic: looks like a kernel regression/bug | 20:41 |
| MichealH | SLierFox: All you have to do is edit your grub bootline :) | 20:41 |
| erUSUL | securityxxxpert: you have boot in a separate partition | 20:41 |
| erUSUL | ? | 20:41 |
| adampiek | I suppose...but it just suddenly stopped working after I barely used it | 20:42 |
| SLierFox | kool il keep diggin :) | 20:42 |
| securityxxxpert | erUSUL: I just went with the defaults for a entire hard disc use + encryption | 20:42 |
| Maahes | how well does the live-cd handle broadcom wireless drivers these days? | 20:42 |
| erUSUL | securityxxxpert: probably for encryption separate boot is mandatory. the root partition is elsewhere | 20:42 |

I have a big chunk of empty space before one of my primary partitions (sda3). I would like to make an extended partition (new sda3) and put the old sda3 inside it (sda5).

| erUSUL | securityxxxpert: i do not think the orthere really matters much. you have to do all steps before attemping to mount though | 21:11 |
| sado | when i try ..download adobe flash player tell me its virtual ? | 21:11 |
| dominicdinada | dbruns: Depends on how you added the desktop. I was told if you added it Via Aptitude it was easier to remove. | 21:12 |
| dbruns | dominicdinada: i'm pretty sure I just did apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 21:12 |

I then decided to install Ubuntu to the flash drive from a CD and run a "real" installation from the flash drive, I removed swap entirely as I have 4GB of RAM. However, it runs really "jerkily".

| histo | benbloom: is the printer shared? | 21:14 |
| benbloom | histo, yes. shared by the win7 machine | 21:14 |
| erUSUL | dbruns: that will remove most stuff. you may want to continue with anothe xserver packages | 21:14 |

| itsux2bu | trivial question and i hate to repeat.. but.. in system files a # comments out a line.. does a second one on same line "uncomment" the line.. this example is from /etc/default/grub: '# To return splash screen and hide boot messages remove comment(#) from" having 2 # on the same line is OK? | 21:16 |

| whitepheasant | erUSUL: Changing the port number didn't do what I expected. Regardless oof that 5-digit port I do, I still asks me to run the script as root. This is because Xampp made the program to behave that way. (There can be some workarounds, but I will not bother with that. Thanks anyway, You too jrib). | 21:21 |

| mIRC- | what is the default pass for root user in ubuntu 10 | 21:38 |
| jrib | !root | mIRC- | 21:38 |
| ubottu | mIRC-: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 21:38 |
| BluesKaj | !root | mIRC- | 21:38 |
| krad | hey. a normal user can't bind to port 113 right? | 21:39 |
| mIRC- | then how if i want install any program ask me for root pass | 21:39 |
| ubuntu | anyone mind telling me what they think? http://pastebin.com/BgRjGG2C | 21:39 |
| Shiba | BluesKaj: thanks. That wiki page is useful, but it only lists info on 6.06. I have been asked *specifically* for 6.04 and *not* 6.06. Do you know if 6.04 was ever released? | 21:39 |
| Owlship | npope: so I should do grub install on the hd that my ubuntu install is on and then follow the live cd steps to rewrite the mbr? | 21:40 |
| jrib | mIRC-: it doesn't. It asks for your user's password (who, if he is the first user on the system, should be able to sudo) | 21:40 |
| famicube64 | If you really need to log in as root, do "sudo su" then "passwd" | 21:40 |
| BluesKaj | !sudo | mIRC- | 21:40 |
| ubottu | mIRC-: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 21:40 |
| Shiba | BluesKaj: honestly I don't know, and this guy could just be full of it. | 21:40 |
| famicube64 | Then you can log into root with the chosen password | 21:40 |
| jrib | !noroot | famicube64 | 21:40 |
| ubottu | famicube64: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 21:40 |
| Daekdroom | Shiba, 6.06 is what 6.04 was supposed to be, but it was delayed and therefore the number changed to fit its release date. | 21:40 |
| jrib | famicube64: he doesn't need any of that | 21:40 |
| jrib | (no one does) | 21:40 |
| Daekdroom | (month 06 from 2006) | 21:40 |
| muellisoft | krad: well. simple answer is yes. | 21:40 |

| mIRC- | ok thanks alot | 21:42 |
| Muelli | benbloom: #windows probably. Not in here. | 21:42 |
| Muelli | I guess | 21:43 |
| Shiba | benbloom: what isn't working? Asking if someone can help isn't useful, please state your problem. | 21:43 |

| nikos_ | Hello! is there a way to disable the keyring request that appears when I log in in order to connect with the wireless? | 21:44 |
| mIRC- | when i try to make install i get this error make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1, whats mean that | 21:44 |
| Shiba | benbloom: you need to enable printer sharing in smb.conf, and possibly edit the cups config file to allow raw printing. | 21:44 |
| jrib | mIRC-: what are you trying to install? | 21:44 |
| Shiba | benbloom: oh I get it. you're trying to do it the other way around. | 21:44 |
| Seveas | mIRC-, it means you should try finding a package for whatever you're installing :) | 21:44 |
| puff | npope: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/tKuY2JYY | 21:44 |
| Shiba | benbloom: sadly, I don't have any experience with Windows 7 or its printer sharing :) | 21:44 |

| benbloom | sorry Shiba. I am trying to print from my lucid box to win7 | 21:45 |
| npope | ubuntu: i am still a newb when it comes to encryption, someone else would be better to get help from :) | 21:45 |
| jrib | mIRC-: what is that? | 21:45 |
| ubuntu | npope: no prob | 21:45 |
| Shiba | benbloom: I'd suggest getting two windows boxes talking to each other before attempting a CUPS configuration. | 21:45 |
| BluesKaj | puff, maybe the package is corrupted or missing dependencies or libs ..looks like it's searching for something on your install that doesn't exist , so it's stuck in limbo | 21:45 |
| mealstrom | hi, have anyone problem with changed owner of home folders? | 21:45 |
| mIRC- | jrib: am try to install new Matrix Screensaver | 21:46 |
| Shiba | benbloom: if you can print from Windows -> Windows, then its a CUPS issue. Otherwise we can't really help in this channel. | 21:46 |
| benbloom | Shiba, I only have one windows box. | 21:46 |
| benbloom | i understand what you';re say ing though | 21:46 |
| benbloom | I'll ask at #windows | 21:46 |
| jrib | mIRC-: link? | 21:46 |
| Daim540 | @nikos_ : try to disable "auto connect" (or something like that) in your network config | 21:46 |
| Shiba | benbloom: we have no idea how your systems are configured here. If you're fairly certain that Windows is configured correctly for sharing then we'll give hte CUPS side a shot. | 21:47 |

| Daim540 | @nikos: (in your network wireless properties) | 21:47 |
| Shiba | benbloom: the little bit I hear about Windows 7 is that it correctly applies access controls now instead of just connecting to whomever wants to access it | 21:47 |
| puff | BluesKaj: I think the dpkg warning in that last attempt was because I didn't dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq ater killin the previous attempt. | 21:48 |

| DrNick_ | hi. have just upgraded a server to 10.4, since then it refuses to recognise the printer attached to the parallel port. /dev/lp0 isn't created upon boot. the lp module is loading, with the message "lp: driver loaded but not devices found". have tried switching parallel port modes in the bios with no luck. worked ok before the upgrade | 21:51 |
| X32 | Im not sure if this is an ubuntu 10.04 issue or MPD but recently my sound stops working after a random amount of time I think..(alsa only no pulse) resetting alsa-utils and restarting mpd does not fix the issue, any ideas? | 21:51 |
| BluesKaj | npope, ?? | 21:51 |
| puff | BluesKaj, npope: Well, downloaded it and ran dpkg -i curletc.deb on it, same results, it appears. | 21:51 |
| puff | BluesKaj: Okay, i'm game, I'll try synaptic. | 21:51 |

| DrNick_ | reloading the lp module presents the same message btw. any ideas anyone? | 21:52 |
| puff | Odd.... I have about eight dpkg processes. | 21:52 |

| enkidu | hello guys, I need someone from france :) | 21:53 |
| puff | BluesKaj, npope: Just a wild guess here, but I suspect the existing dpkg processes may be part of the problem. | 21:54 |
| npope | puff: most likley is your problem... sudo killall dpkg | 21:54 |
| jrib | mIRC-: actually just read the "Installation" section on the softpedia site, but make sure you trust the author... | 21:54 |
| puff | BluesKaj, npope: Maybe I should kill them? | 21:54 |
| Seveas | npope, that's a really bad idea | 21:54 |
| npope | Seveas: why? | 21:54 |
| mIRC- | jrib: yes i do compile but the problem when i come to make install part i cant amke it with out error | 21:54 |
| Seveas | dpkg does not like being killed and may leave your system in an inconsistent or even unbootable state | 21:55 |
| jrib | mIRC-: the instructions don't mention "make install", do they? | 21:55 |
| mIRC- | jrib: why ist not safe to install somthing like that? | 21:55 |
| X32 | Im not sure if this is an ubuntu 10.04 issue or MPD but recently my sound stops working after a random amount of time I think..(alsa only no pulse) resetting alsa-utils and restarting mpd does not fix the issue, any ideas? | 21:55 |
| asdf_baron | So after upgrading to Maverick Alpha 3, somehow my two-finger scrolling stopped working. It's greyed out in the mouse preferences. Using xinput --set-prop I can apparently enable two-finger scrolling but this isn't working | 21:55 |
| npope | Seveas: and how do you propose exiting those processess then? | 21:55 |
| mIRC- | jrib: yes they do here #make install | 21:56 |
| BluesKaj | puff, sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a | 21:56 |
| Seveas | npope, I'd first examine the output of 'ps -aufx | cat' to see whether dpkg is running and what it is doing | 21:56 |
| jca1981 | when i run update-grub if finds the kernel on the rescue cd not on my chrooted install? | 21:56 |
| npope | Seveas: ok now you know what its doing... now how do you exit the process? | 21:56 |

| deathbyliqour | hi guys | 21:57 |
| mIRC- | jrib: yes | 21:57 |
| deathbyliqour | are there any msn cam IMs in ubuntu tt work? | 21:57 |
| mIRC- | jrib: ist enough? | 21:57 |
| Seveas | npope, I don't the pastebin showed only dpkg processes. dpkg launches a lot of things (hence why I wnted the -f and the | cat) | 21:57 |
| Seveas | s/ the pastebin/. The pastebin/ | 21:57 |
| deathbyliqour | pidigin has no MSN support. amsn says tt msn updated their cam encryption again | 21:57 |
| jrib | mIRC-: and then you run "sudo checkinstall"? | 21:57 |
| deathbyliqour | emesene cam doesnt seem to work ether | 21:58 |
| jrib | !checkinstall > mIRC- | 21:58 |
| mIRC- | jrib: no | 21:58 |
| ubottu | mIRC-, please see my private message | 21:58 |
| npope | Seveas: no i am saying.. hypathetically you figured out what it is doing... how would you go about exiting the process now that you know what it is doing | 21:58 |
| BluesKaj | puff, I thought curl was installed by default anyway ..don't understand why you're reinstalling using dpkg ? | 21:58 |
| mealstrom | can anyone send me "/ets/fstab | grep home" with 2+users ? | 21:58 |
| egertonm20 | deathbyliqour pidgin works perfectly well with MSN | 21:59 |
| jrib | mIRC-: do so | 21:59 |
| Seveas | npope, that depends on what it is doing. I usually encounter this at work with a crappy proxy setup and kill the wget process that tries to download the flashplayer (yes, this is where I notice it usually). Doesn't leave dpkg in an inconsistent state. | 21:59 |
| deathbyliqour | ahh yes it does | 21:59 |
| jrib | mealstrom: number of users wouldn't matter | 21:59 |
| deathbyliqour | but MSN webcam | 21:59 |

| Seveas | IdleOne, well, if his filesystem is corrupt and thus remonted read-only, I'd rather do a backup before it fails to boot :) | 22:25 |
| puff | Seveas: Oddly, there is call trace output in dmesg. | 22:25 |

| grkblood | whats a good media server that i can player files remotely from? | 22:26 |
| smw | grkblood, for what purpose? | 22:26 |
| grkblood | to view them on one computer from another | 22:26 |
| weechat_user | hi my main boot ext3 partition wont mount. whats a good program to fix it? | 22:26 |
| Seveas | grkblood, depends on what you want to play and from where. Do you want a filserver, stream server, dlna server? | 22:26 |
| grkblood | i was thinking vnc but the picture looks bad | 22:27 |
| smw | grkblood, I have used mediatomb for pc -> ps3 | 22:27 |
| grkblood | and no sound | 22:27 |
| weechat_user | I tried fsck.ext3 | 22:27 |
| grkblood | i have mediatomb | 22:27 |
| grkblood | thats only for ps3 | 22:27 |
| BluesKaj | grkblood, VLC will if you configure it properly , but if you don't it become useless | 22:27 |

| Seveas | puff, oh damn. That's messed up | 22:28 |
| puff | That doesn't sound good. | 22:28 |
| jason__ | How can I given different applications different desktop geometries. I have a kiosk application that uses the right 1/4 of the screen for status information. I don't want the user to be able to move applications like vlc and flash windows into the right 1/4 of the screen even if they run in full screen mode. | 22:28 |
| puff | The IPW2200 thing is a separate issue, btw. | 22:28 |
| Seveas | puff, in a nutshell: dpkg called sync() to get the filesystem in consistent state and the kernel can't complete that syscall. This could be a bug in the kernel that disappears after a reboot but can also mean a defect in the disk. My bet is on the latter. | 22:29 |
| crazydiamond | hi anyone. is google available? http://google.com/ | 22:29 |

| okapi14 | hi all, I wondering if there is a way to telnet to a specific virtual terminal? | 22:30 |
| dougb_freebsd | crazydiamond: http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/google.com | 22:30 |
| erUSUL | okapi14: telnet? back to 1987 ??? | 22:30 |
| crazydiamond | thx | 22:30 |
| erUSUL | okapi14: what are you trying to do ? | 22:31 |
| Seveas | wasutton3-Laptop, sort of. You need rsync --av --exclude /sys --exclude /dev --exclude /proc | 22:31 |
| BluesKaj | okapi14, try ssh , more secure , as long as you have the destination IP and pw | 22:31 |
| okapi14 | erUSUL: I know but i am dealing with old stuff | 22:31 |
| dominicdinada | why do things that were remove via APT not remove the assoicated cron jobs ? | 22:31 |
| wasutton3-Laptop | Seveas: perfect just what i was looking for | 22:31 |
| Seveas | dominicdinada, because cronjobs live in /etc and are thus considered configfiles. Those are only removed if the package is purged (dpkg -P packagename / apt-get remove --purge packagename) | 22:32 |
| erUSUL | okapi14: yu can not telnet to a VT that makes no sense ... VT are for local access. maybe you want telnet (if you are forced) + screen | 22:32 |
| erUSUL | !screen | okapi14 | 22:32 |
| ubottu | okapi14: Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen | 22:32 |
| dominicdinada | Seveas: I did remove but not purge :/ | 22:32 |
| Seveas | dominicdinada, you can purge now, even though the package is removed | 22:32 |
| Seveas | !purge | 22:33 |
| okapi14 | Ok, even SSH I want to connect to a specific virtual terminal...Ubuntu allow you to have 7 virtual terminals... | 22:33 |
| puff | Seveas: Since I just reinstalled, I have month old backups, so I guess I'll run rsync to update them. | 22:33 |
| === ZNC_DoubleString is now known as DoubleString | ||
| erUSUL | okapi14: you log in in a VT (physicaly) run screen run some program. detach from screen log out. later on from the other side of the building connect via telnet resume screen session and the program is there where you left it still running | 22:34 |
| puff | Seveas: This thing *is* under warranty, so I could just call up IBM and get a replacement. | 22:34 |
| erUSUL | okapi14: is that wnhat you want ? | 22:34 |
| puff | Seveas: Though I'd have to figure out how to convince them the drive is failing. | 22:34 |
| Seveas | !purge is <reply> To purge all removed but not yet purged packages, use the following command: dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/{print $2}' | xargs dpkg -P | 22:34 |
| puff | The warranty has come in handy several times, I've replaced the drive twice. | 22:34 |
| erUSUL | puff: send the kernel dmesg with all the scary errors .... | 22:34 |
| Seveas | puff, it may not be failing. See if it happens again after a reboot. Are you on maverick by any chance? | 22:35 |
| Seveas | (I've seen it a month or so ago on my system on Maverick) | 22:35 |
| puff | Seveas: No, lucid. | 22:35 |
| puff | Seveas: lucid on a thinkpad t43p. The drive is about a year old. | 22:35 |

| puff | Seveas: The thinkpad is about five or six years old, but I replaced the drive somewhere in very late 2008/early 2009. | 22:36 |
| IdleOne | Seveas: that command requires that sudo be used both times, it doesn't carry over. | 22:36 |

| puff | Seveas: Gotta love rsync, but USB external drive support is kinda annoying. When I was backing up last month, rsync would get a big chunk of the files backed up, then somethign would go wrong with the USB. | 22:37 |

| Seveas | madjoe, ye scurvy dog, we be pirates! | 22:38 |
| jca1981 | sorry grub2 | 22:38 |
| puff | Seveas: The simplest fix turned out to be disconnecting and reconnecting the cable, and then ubuntu would automount it under a new name, and I'd have to go tweak my backup scripts, then run again. | 22:38 |
| puff | Seveas: Several times, sigh. | 22:38 |

| erUSUL | okapi14: use screen. log in in VT1 run screen in screen run the program you want to continue using even if you log out to log in later. dettach from screen ( is Crtl a + D ) log out from vt1. when you telnet in you can run « screen -r » and screen will reattach to the previous screen sesion and you can continue to work where you left | 22:39 |

| ChesterX | erUSUL: well I downloaded both packages rpm.bin and .bin, I did start trying with the rpm because I don t really know the difference xD. Btw, what is it? | 22:54 |
| danial | Quick question. I had a broken package, and while trying to fix it I uninstalled indicator-datetime | 22:54 |
| wele | erUSUL: how i dont know what i do | 22:54 |
| erUSUL | !rpm | ChesterX | 22:55 |
| danial | Now when I try to reinstall it it gives me dependency errors. | 22:55 |
| ubottu | ChesterX: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 22:55 |
| erUSUL | ChesterX: follow the instruvtions in the wiki | 22:55 |
| ChesterX | I ll do so, thanks | 22:55 |
| MeXTuX | I'm using Ubuntu Server Lucid and I'm trying to share a directory using Samba. My question is what is the difference between using browseable = yes and browseable = no ?? Tnx in advance :) | 22:55 |

| erUSUL | ChesterX: run this in terminal « sudo dd-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" && sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jdk » | 22:56 |
| ComradeHaz` | danial sudo aptititude why-not indicator-datetime | 22:56 |
| erUSUL | ChesterX: that will install the sun jdk | 22:56 |
| ChesterX | ok, thank you very much | 22:56 |
| Maletor | the eth0 driver is just whatever has been working on my asus board all this time.. will lshd | grep eth0 show me the card and then i search /etc/modules for the driver? | 22:56 |
| erUSUL | Maletor: probably r8169... « lsmod | grep 8169 » | 22:57 |
| ComradeHaz` | further, danial, just try sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install indicator-datetime | 22:57 |
| danial | ComradHaz: It is already installed. | 22:57 |
| danial | So it says unable to find a reason to remove. | 22:57 |
| danial | libido-0.1-0: Breaks: indicator-sound (< 0.3.7) but 0.2.3-0ubuntu1 is installed. | 22:58 |
| ComradeHaz` | You said you uninstalled it.... | 22:58 |
| danial | I uninstalled datetime, not sound. | 22:58 |
| danial | Maybe I just need to purge the une ppa. | 22:59 |
| ChesterX | Does anyone know a well working, and Unix native, alternative for Tubemaster++? | 22:59 |
| erUSUL | ChesterX: what does that program do ? | 22:59 |
| ComradeHaz` | what happens if you aptitude update and aptitude full-upgrade | 22:59 |
| ComradeHaz` | does that work? | 23:00 |
| danial | Let me see. | 23:00 |
| ComradeHaz` | aptitude is much better than apt-get in my experience at dealing with dependancies | 23:00 |
| ChesterX | capture streams, (mainly flash etc...) and gives you the option to convert the video/sound in mp3/avi | 23:01 |
| danial | It gives me the unresolved dependency errors again. | 23:01 |

| IdleOne | dominicdinada: I am going to look up the definition of that and if I am insulted I will be back :P | 23:18 |

| bluefoxicy | mysql -u root -p mypassword | 23:36 |
| JusticeZero | I | 23:36 |
| valbaca | linuxusesubuntu, /root shouldn't contain sensitive information. however, / can. The only problem is booting into an encrypted filesystem is a little more complicated than the "average desktop" user can handle, so isn't in ubuntu | 23:36 |
| Seveas | bluefoxicy, yeah, that's silly | 23:37 |

| valbaca | !wireless > JusticeZero | 23:37 |
| ubottu | JusticeZero, please see my private message | 23:37 |
| Seveas | bluefoxicy, for 2 reasons: no need to run that as root and passwords on the commandline are not a good idea | 23:37 |
| linuxusesubuntu | Seveas: what do you mean by "how's that sensitive"? It can be sensitive in the same sense that /home can be, can't it? | 23:37 |
| bluefoxicy | seveas: I keep a shit-I-shouldn't-have collection at my employer | 23:37 |

| ActionParsnip | JusticeZero: ok what is output when you try? | 23:38 |
| bluefoxicy | seveas: No, I mean in general. That's one way I get passwords though, nabbing them from .bash_history on servers | 23:38 |
| PeterNL | But it still doesn't work | 23:38 |
| Seveas | bluefoxicy, your colleagues are dumb :) | 23:38 |

| Seveas | PeterNL, sure, find a nice pastebin and paste it there | 23:38 |
| linuxusesubuntu | ActionParsnip: "vulnerable" within the context that encryption is being used to protect "/home"'s "vulnerability" but not used to protect "/root"'s. The fact that you don't consider using encryption necessary doesn't mean anything as far as such context is concerned. | 23:38 |
| JusticeZero | It spins away on it for awhile, then says that authentication is required and asks for a password. I put the password in and repeat. | 23:39 |

| JusticeZero | Meanwhile, the Windows partition, and both sides of the dual boot on the other laptop connect without issue. | 23:40 |
| linuxusesubuntu | valbaca: I know that whole disk encryption would be a complete hassle and that's why it's avoided, but encrypting "/root" besides "/home", I don't know to what extent that might be impractical, that's why I ask | 23:40 |
| Seveas | PeterNL, gconftool-2 doesn't work from cron as it doesn't know the ORBIT_SOCKETDIR variable | 23:40 |
| sinnedam | im having a problem with my panel..whenever i minimize a window it doesnt show up on the bottom panel..it just disappears..any ideas? | 23:40 |
| puff | Seveas: Hm, well, it looks like all's fine. | 23:40 |
| PeterNL | So how di I fix that? | 23:40 |
| ActionParsnip | sinnedam: add the windows list applet to the panel, they will then show up ok | 23:41 |
| puff | Seveas: dmesg doesn't seem to have any scary messags. | 23:41 |
| Seveas | PeterNL, you could try setting it to /tmp/orbit-yourloginnamehere as that is the default. It'll still only work when you're logged in though. | 23:41 |
| valbaca | linuxusesubuntu, on installation you ought to be able to create a seperate partition for /root and then encrypt it | 23:41 |
| sinnedam | ah..thanks! | 23:41 |
| PeterNL | okay, good enough | 23:41 |
| eriksson25 | Anyone know how I can get /dev/xxx to stay even if I add other disks. And dont say UUID becouse it dosent work. Need a other way. | 23:41 |
| Seveas | puff, good. Now time to fix dpkg. dpkg --configure -a. And then install curl again | 23:41 |
| linuxusesubuntu | ActionParsnip: that's not relevant at all to the question asked, given that it's about systems that encrypt the "/home" partition and whether not encrypting "/root" as well could be considered a contradiction (i.e. given that /home is encrypted, why not /root?). | 23:42 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxusesubuntu: you could always put /root on its own partition and encrypt it | 23:42 |
| puff | Seveas: Yay, it appears to be working, this time. | 23:42 |
| Seveas | woo | 23:42 |
| puff | I still wonder wtf went wrong to begin with... | 23:42 |
| Seveas | puff, kernel bug or disk failure. If your disk seems to work fine now, cross your fingers and hope it was a fluke in the kernel | 23:42 |
| puff | Seveas: Any way I could test it programmatically? | 23:42 |
| * PeterNL waits 'till 0:50... | 23:42 | |
| puff | Seveas: e.g I just did a backup, I'd rather stress-test it now than later. | 23:43 |
| Seveas | puff, yeah, by overwriting the entire disk repeatedly. | 23:43 |
| eriksson25 | Anyone know how I can get /dev/xxx to stay even if I add other disks. And dont say UUID becouse it dosent work. Need a other way. | 23:43 |
| Seveas | puff, that destroys all data though | 23:43 |
| puff | Seveas: uhhhhhhhhh... | 23:43 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxusesubuntu: you will most likely find /root is largely unused in Ubuntu due to the use of sude | 23:43 |
| ActionParsnip | *sudo | 23:43 |
| puff | Seveas: Okay, I guess I should just keep my backups up to date, and pray. | 23:43 |
| linuxusesubuntu | valbaca: ActionParsnip , good point, or a loopback device could be created as well, I was just wondering why Ubuntu doesn't do that by default when you say "yes" to "Do you want to encrypt /home"? I mean, if a user is going through the trouble of encrypting /home, not encrypting /tmp and /root could be considered inconsistent, unless I am missing something | 23:43 |
| Seveas | easiest way is to boot from a live cd, unmount all swap partitions and use wipe on the entire disk. | 23:43 |
| Seveas | or shred | 23:44 |
| Seveas | backups and praying is a reasonable alternative. It's what I do too :)( | 23:44 |
| linuxusesubuntu | ActionParsnip: that's just what I was wondering about, whether or not issuing commands through sudo wrote anything to /root | 23:44 |
| valbaca | linuxusesubuntu, it all goes back to the fact that when using ubuntu you should never be root, only using sudo. | 23:44 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxusesubuntu: /root isnt used due to sudo so there will be no data in there as Ubuntu doesn't support users using root, so its a waste of effort. It can be done if you really want but it wont achieve much | 23:44 |
| datta | does anyone know why hplip does not open up even after I have instaled the GUI of it with the whole package from synaptic? | 23:45 |
| ActionParsnip | as far as I am aware | 23:45 |
| ActionParsnip | datta: could try using the latest from the hplip site | 23:45 |
| puff | Seveas: Sigh... well that's another day shot... many thanks for your help. | 23:45 |
| linuxusesubuntu | valbaca: sometimes one has got to use "sudo su" in order to become root, since you cannot use "sudo cd" (sudo doesn't work with "cd") when needs to get into read protected directories | 23:45 |
| Seveas | puff, np | 23:45 |
| puff | npope: Yours as well. | 23:45 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxusesubuntu: sudo -i is advised | 23:45 |
| PeterNL | Seveas: still not working: http://pastebin.com/JiZcgQ0X | 23:45 |
| datta | ActionParsnip: I have tried that also but does not help | 23:45 |
| delx | I've got a problem. I shared my "software" folder via Samba. The problem is: The windows user can't write on this folder, because his user is not "deluxe" like mine. How do I change the user of the running samba process? | 23:46 |
| voidmage | that reminds me, what's the difference between sudo -i and sudo su? | 23:46 |
| ActionParsnip | datta: log a bug then | 23:46 |
| Seveas | PeterNL, needs an export | 23:46 |
| puff | Now I just need to figure out how to get rails 3.0 working. Apparently the package versions of ruby, gems, etc, have some serious incompatibilities with rails 3.0. | 23:46 |
| Seveas | PeterNL, and no semicolon | 23:46 |
| datta | ActionParsnip: all right | 23:46 |
| PeterNL | Does the semicolon matter? I'm used to it | 23:46 |
| ActionParsnip | voidmage: sudo -i uses the users profile with elevated access, su effectively makes you rrot | 23:46 |
| ActionParsnip | can't type today | 23:46 |
| linuxusesubuntu | ActionParsnip: so basically, unless one logs in as root in a virtual console or one gets into "God mode" using "sudo su", no data is going to be written into "/root"? | 23:47 |
| Seveas | PeterNL, it shouldn't but it's unnecessary | 23:47 |
| voidmage | that explains why i lose my vimrc | 23:47 |
| voidmage | colors and whatnot | 23:47 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxusesubuntu: as far as I am aware, thats right | 23:47 |
| Eclorian | Okay, COMPLETE newbie here, I was wondering if 10.04 will run on an old laptop with 512mb of RAM? | 23:47 |
| valbaca | linuxusesubuntu, I know that there are times when it is necessary to become root. But I was simply explaining the "inconsistencies" of the /home&/root encryptions. | 23:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Eclorian: sure, use Xubuntu or Lubuntu | 23:47 |
| Wavesonics | does anyone know if you can use Proxy's with Transmission? I'm looking into soemthing like btguard | 23:47 |
| puff | Is there any way to permanently get rid of the pretty graphics during startup/shutdown, and see the gory details like I used to? | 23:47 |
| PeterNL | Seveas: it is necessary, as I will cause syntax errors in PHP if I forget them. I started using them in bash and javascript and whatnot since I started using php :D | 23:47 |
| Seveas | Eclorian, and don't expect it to be lightning fast. It won't be slow as molasses either though. | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Wavesonics: sure, theres a section in the config to setup the proxy | 23:48 |
| Eclorian | Nah, mostly I want the experience | 23:48 |
| linuxusesubuntu | ActionParsnip: I knew it had to make some sense and now I can see it, thanks to your explanation :) | 23:48 |
| linuxusesubuntu | valbaca: thanks to you as well | 23:48 |
| Seveas | PeterNL, that's a pretty silly reason to do it. Each language is different and should be treated as such... | 23:48 |
| === macode is now known as macode|afk | ||
| linuxusesubuntu | valbaca: that makes it have much more sense than I could see before | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip | puff: remove the boot options in the quotes in /etc/default/grub | 23:48 |
| valbaca | linuxusesubuntu, glad to help :D | 23:48 |
| ZykoticK9 | puff, add /etc/default/grub set GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" and update grub | 23:48 |
| PeterNL | Seveas: true, but not always as easy as it sounds... | 23:48 |
| === patrick is now known as Guest10141 | ||
| JusticeZero | i've done, with xubuntu, on a smaller system in fact. Gave it to my nephew. Who saved up and bought a new PC. and is, like, 6 years old. o.O | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip | puff: the: quiet splash text, then save the file and run: sudo update-grub to apply the setting | 23:49 |
| Barridus | anyone else getting "assertion failed" messages all the time in firefox? | 23:49 |
| Wavesonics | ActionParsnip, right, but i read somewhere that it is only for the initial connection, and that after that it doesn;t use the proxy for actual peer connections | 23:49 |
| linuxusesubuntu | valbaca: in any case, one area that they left untouched was that of not encrypting the /tmp directory, though that can be easily accomplished just adding one line at /etc/crypttab and /etc/fstab. | 23:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Eclorian: you just need a light desktop to suit the hardware, linux isnt like windows with it needing higher and higher specs | 23:49 |
| PeterNL | Seveas: still not working... | 23:50 |
| JusticeZero | It does creep up a little bit though. | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Wavesonics: you can set http_proxy and ftp_proxy to make it use the proxy | 23:50 |
| Seveas | PeterNL, make your cron entry redirect output to something in /tmp and pastebin the output | 23:50 |
| linuxusesubuntu | valbaca: As far as consistency goes, I think that, at a minimum, if /home is encrypted, both swap and /tmp should be too (ubuntu already takes care of swap encryption). I don't know if there is anything else out there were the user's data could be spilt, maybe /var/log? | 23:51 |
| Eclorian | I remember reading that much, I was going to use it as a gateway to play movies from my main P.C. to my TV, but everytime I install it on this old desktop I have, it goes haywire | 23:51 |
| Wavesonics | ActionParsnip, ah it uses ftp for the peer to peer and http for the tracker? | 23:51 |
| valbaca | linuxusesubuntu, or, like I do, you can put /tmp and /var in RAM :D fewer writes to my hd | 23:51 |
| linuxusesubuntu | valbaca: with 512MB RAM that would be pretty impractical :) | 23:51 |
| PeterNL | Seveas: like this? http://pastebin.com/pwgfFn7x | 23:52 |
| linuxusesubuntu | though /var could be put there I guess, but do you put the ENTIRE /var directory there? | 23:52 |
| valbaca | linuxusesubuntu, yes that would. Sounds like you really just want full disk encryption | 23:52 |
| Seveas | PeterNL, no | 23:52 |
| PeterNL | Oh, what do you mean instead? | 23:52 |
| valbaca | no, just /var/tmp | 23:52 |
| === macode|afk is now known as macode | ||
| valbaca | and /tmp | 23:52 |
| Seveas | in the crontab entry, do this: * * * * * /path/to/your/script >> /tmp/somelogfile | 23:52 |
| PeterNL | ok | 23:53 |
| maco | lilium: putting /var in ram would be...silly. no logs. and apt's cache would be wrecked... and if it was a server, bye bye web stuff! | 23:53 |
| maco | lilium: not you | 23:53 |
| Seveas | then /tmp/somelogfile should give some clues :) | 23:53 |
| Seveas | linuxusesubuntu, /var isn't for temporary things. Losing /var usually means reinstalling. | 23:53 |

| litatacos | hey hey there. i have a pretty common problem from the forums but i tried all the reccomended solutions without any luck :( i installed ubuntu studio but i cant connect to the interner. tried installing with hard wire connection and from cd rom. thnx for the awesomeness!!! | 23:54 |
| litatacos | ^internet sorry | 23:55 |
| nuk | what's up with 10.04 ? on my older laptop, the mouse and keyboard won't work when installing it, but other distros work fine.... now, i just bought a new Acer laptop yesterday, and it worked fine right away??? | 23:55 |
| linuxusesubuntu | valbaca: not really, I was really trying to find security glitches in ubuntu, so that they can fix them. I don't think full disk encryption is practical, since it interferes with the boot process. To give you an example, I was trying to know what are the maximum number of things that can be encrypted without interferring with the boot process, init, system mounting, etc. | 23:55 |
| Seveas | PeterNL, yeah. Now wait for /tmp/thingy to contain logs :) | 23:55 |
| PeterNL | ok... | 23:55 |
| linuxusesubuntu | Seveas: that's what I thought. Once you install the system, does /var tend to change with time as you install new things? Or does it structure remain pretty static? | 23:55 |
| PeterNL | Seveas: "run as peter at Tue Aug 31 00:55:01 CEST 2010" but didn't change the colors | 23:55 |
| Seveas | linuxusesubuntu, very dynamic. | 23:55 |
| maco | linuxusesubuntu: hence the name :P | 23:56 |
| Seveas | linuxusesubuntu, you dpkg info about installed packages is there for instance. Or your mysql databases if you install mysql | 23:56 |
| linuxusesubuntu | Seveas: so it wouldn't be practical to "regenerate" /var with a new key everytime you boot, would it? | 23:56 |
| maco | Seveas: and your webpages with either apache2 or tomcat | 23:56 |
| Seveas | PeterNL, and no output from gconftool? | 23:56 |
| Seveas | maco, those should live in /srv :) | 23:56 |
| nuk | I also have the Ubuntu Satanic Edition: I havn't really seen any difference except the themes ?? anyone haveany input on this? | 23:56 |
| Seveas | but yeah, most of the time they end up in /var/www | 23:56 |
| maco | Seveas: tomcat stuff goes in /var/lib/tomcat6/ | 23:57 |
| PeterNL | nope, only the run as-lines | 23:57 |
| Seveas | PeterNL, then the gconftool-2 command worked :) | 23:57 |
| Seveas | antually, that's a lie | 23:57 |
| Seveas | instead of >> /tmp/thingy, you need this: >> /tmp/thingy 2>&1 | 23:57 |
| PeterNL | But I was looking at gconf-editor and plenty of things-that-should-get-a-new-color and nothing happened | 23:57 |
| Seveas | to redirect stderr as well :) | 23:57 |
