| latagore | PresuntoRJ: I think you typed update twice before =o But okay | 00:24 |
| DasEi | roscogruen: canon and logilink have good compatibility, most times the handhelds offer cf support, so latest can have a cheap reader then, but usb should also work | 00:24 |
| roscogruen | the other cameras we have are not on the list and work w/o installing anything. hope same is true with this new camera. thx DasE | 00:24 |
| PresuntoRJ | latagore: nope, there must be a $sudo apt-get update | 00:24 |

| PresuntoRJ | the newer empathy has an icon on the notification area which helps unhide some of the features, and blinks when you are called privately on a IRC msg | 00:28 |
| PresuntoRJ | latagore: nope, I hate this too, but you can keep looking at the history of the conversation for the same effect | 00:28 |
| sjm | latagore, PresuntoRJ , My opinion, use empathy for IM and xchat for IRC | 00:28 |

| fenrir265 | i dont know | 00:33 |

| fenrir265 | ijust got them with the ubuntu application thing | 00:33 |
| snow_ru | Coronade, what is C++0x ? | 00:33 |
| PresuntoRJ | fenrir265: you must be aware of what you are doing because you could end up crippling your system beyond repair... any way, you can get any application uninstalled if you know its package name (usually, nut not necessarily, the name of the application)... then a $ sudo apt-get autoremove --purge will remove the package and autoremove any dependencies installed that do not affect any other program installed, and will clear any config files to get ri | 00:33 |

| DasEi | Coronade: #windows is there | 00:35 |
| snow_ru | yes | 00:35 |
| Coronade | :( | 00:35 |
| coz_ | fenrir265, yes or alt+F2 gnome-terminal | 00:35 |
| mibber | coz_: so i restarted it okay, i dn't see any errors in the console, but i still have my problem - i double click anything on the desktop, and nothing happens! | 00:35 |
| RickiiBETA | k, i have everything hooked up and good to go, the cpu, gpu, cd, and hdd all start | 00:35 |
| RickiiBETA | but no bios | 00:35 |
| Coronade | I decided to go to the more Developer friendly (hopefully) room... | 00:35 |
| Coronade | I'm just making sure my IRC client works properly. | 00:36 |
| Coronade | WHich it does. | 00:36 |
| handjob | What the fuck is this channel? | 00:36 |
| coz_ | mibber, what were you doing or installing or uninstalling just before all of this occurred?? | 00:36 |
| PresuntoRJ | latagore: 2.30.2-1~ppa10.04+1 | 00:36 |
| stunts513 | lmao | 00:36 |
| Coronade | and i need lots of traffick | 00:36 |
| Coronade | to test it fully | 00:36 |
| Cmdr_W_T_Riker | Coronade: it works. | 00:36 |
| Muelli | Coronade: could you please /part this channel then? Thanks. | 00:36 |
| Coronade | I know. | 00:36 |
| RickiiBETA | i already tried resetting everything, and its all hooked in good | 00:36 |
| latagore | PresuntoRJ: My client didn't update then | 00:36 |
| Coronade | Can I idle here? | 00:36 |
| bpietro | DasEi, this is on Desktop Lucid, server version the same, zope main package not mentioned | 00:36 |
| mibber | coz_: i haven't installed anything, i was writing some code, nothing that would really be similar as i can recall | 00:36 |
| Coronade | i'm not a bot, just a shitty client | 00:36 |
| Coronade | I'm going to idle here all night. | 00:36 |
| PresuntoRJ | latagore: no I really mean UPDATE | 00:37 |
| mibber | coz_: are there error logs or something? | 00:37 |
| timewriter | im affraid im gonna do that too | 00:37 |
| zergling_ | my account is an admin account but when i tried to change the permissions on a read only file so i can edit it, it says "you are not the owner, so you cannot change these permissions." help me please | 00:37 |
| timewriter | as long as i cant do anything just irssi | 00:37 |
| latagore | PresuntoRJ: Could I ask for your instructions on how to upgrade it or how to view the history on Empathy | 00:37 |
| coz_ | mibber, mmm this is puzzling then.... you can check under system administration for log files | 00:37 |
| stunts513 | if the bot says im spamming, does that mean ou guys cant see it? | 00:37 |
| coz_ | mibber, although ...unless you actually ran the code you were creating ...this makes no sense | 00:37 |
| sjm | latagore, for apt, there is "update" which updates the list of current packages it knows about, and "upgrade" which actually upgrades the packages. You have to "update" the list first. | 00:38 |
| stunts513 | not that im doing it on purpose just wondering | 00:38 |
| RickiiBETA | muellisoft: you there? | 00:38 |
| DasEi | bpietro: I've some extra repos enabled, this is what I get : http://pastebin.com/hcQnqsHu | 00:38 |
| mibber | coz_: yes it is weird, i don't know whats going on | 00:38 |
| PresuntoRJ | latagore: I will try to talk prv with you | 00:38 |
| coz_ | stunts513, no we see and hear everything :) | 00:38 |
| latagore | PresuntoRJ: Alright | 00:38 |

| snow_ru | coz_, | 00:39 |
| snow_ru | how did you know IRC ? | 00:39 |

| zergling | my account is an admin account but when i tried to change the permissions on a read only file so i can edit it, it says "you are not the owner, so you cannot change these permissions." help me please | 00:40 |

| zergling | snow_ru: how do i do that (im still a newb | 00:41 |
| Cmdr_W_T_Riker | tracy69: a whole disk doesn't immidiately make much sense, maybe you mean all the linux partitions as seen as a whole? | 00:41 |
| DasEi | tracy69: gparted let's you grafically view whole disk | 00:42 |
| stunts513 | ilovefairuz:http://pastebin.com/YXF3bvcF | 00:43 |
| Izinucs | zergling: DasEi try .. sudo chown <your user name>:<your user name> Afile .. then after if needed use chmod to +xw Afile | 00:43 |
| tracy69 | <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> i have one hdd 500gb other 350gb i want to see them both not swap or some hda5 or sda7 i want to see hdd or sda 500gb used 30gb etc | 00:43 |
| tracy69 | ubuntu is installed on 500gb where i have made partition 50gb for it | 00:43 |
| tracy69 | the partition is called sdb5 thats all i managed to see in conky | 00:43 |
| DasEi | lzinucs : I know, zergling asked, and to write w is enough | 00:44 |
| Izinucs | DasEi: k.. didn't catch the previous part of the conversation | 00:44 |
| stunts513 | ilovefairuz:going tell you right now thoes are not the only resolutions it can run, because i have been in 1024x768 in windows for a while, i dont have the driver installed on windows right now cause i recently reformatted, and my wifi card now only seems to work on linux.....not because of missing driver, but because windwos cant seem to comprehend my wifi card with the right driver... | 00:44 |
| sjm | tracy69, you might try #conky | 00:45 |
| Cmdr_W_T_Riker | tracy69: okay i get your point. hmmm, i'm not very fmailiar with conky, but i could have a look | 00:45 |

| flupke | I need to run a command as root at startup, where can I add it ? | 00:47 |
| DasEi | zergling: Afile you must change to the files name, then sudo chown zergling (or whatever username) AFile && sudo gedit Afile should work | 00:47 |
| zergling | DasEi: ohhhhh | 00:47 |
| DasEi | yes yes :) | 00:48 |
| ilovefairuz | stunts513: : in the monitor section add: Modeline "1024x768_60.00" 63.50 1024 1072 1176 1328 768 771 775 798 -hsync +vsync | 00:48 |
| ilovefairuz | stunts513: and: Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024_60.00" | 00:48 |
| DasEi | zergling: but chmod +w will also give write acces, see above | 00:48 |
| DasEi | zergling: even if you're not the owner, if done as root (sudo) | 00:49 |
| DasEi | !chmod > zergling | 00:49 |
| ubottu | zergling, please see my private message | 00:49 |
| bpietro | DasEi, thanks, but still don't see zope2.11-....-i386.deb package as in pool/directory of official repos. So I think, (a) somebody forgot insert it in index list or (b) there is some reason, why it wasn't be included. Because all guides start with "install Zope: apt-get install zopeX.XX, where X.XX is major and minor release number" When I do so, result is "can't find this package" | 00:49 |
| DasEi | !chown > zergling | 00:49 |
| stunts513 | ok | 00:49 |
| stunts513 | sorry i had to go in other room , im back | 00:50 |
| tracy69 | stunts513, what for did you go to the other room? | 00:51 |
| stunts513 | ilovefairuz: you sure i can run 1280x1024? | 00:51 |
| stunts513 | o my mom called me | 00:51 |
| stunts513 | thats y i was in other room | 00:51 |
| zergling | is this the right way to word this? sudo chown aj:aj /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf | 00:51 |
| sjm | tracy69, why do you need the whole disk rather than the partitions? Linux works with the filesystems inside the partitions not the disk (there is no filesystem on the disk, it's inside the partitions) | 00:51 |
| stunts513 | and im not a child... im a computer tech, but more so on windows.. | 00:52 |
| tracy69 | sjm cuz i have many partitions so if i wanted to put all of them it will cover whole screen so i wanted to see hdd instead | 00:52 |
| mibber | how can i create a new user and have it work on ubuntu from terminal? I did useradd, but it says nautilus needs home folders, etc, and this like IECheckfile or something | 00:52 |
| mibber | a command i can use to generate all the necessary stuff besides useradd? | 00:53 |
| newfedoranoob | after i install the nvidia driver on my machine in ubuntu 10.04 it gives ne a very crappy resolution | 00:53 |
| sjm | tracy69, but the filesystem is what is being filled and those reside inside the partitions. You might see if you can script (in conky or outside) something to sum the different partitions. | 00:53 |
| ilovefairuz | stunts513: sorry, typo! | 00:54 |
| newfedoranoob | http://pastebin.com/Nc8Rme1t | 00:54 |
| newfedoranoob | here is the paste of lspci | 00:54 |
| DasEi | mibber: sure, sudo adduser mibber | 00:54 |
| newfedoranoob | can some1 help me with this | 00:54 |
| mibber | DasEi: i did that but now when i login as the user it complains that he doesn't have like /home/mibber, /home/mibber/desktop, etc | 00:54 |
| DasEi | mibber: adduser not useradd | 00:55 |
| mibber | DasEi: ah okay thanks | 00:55 |
| sjm | mibber, I can't remember the exact switches to create the home directory, but you can "man useradd" | 00:55 |
| mibber | -d maybe? | 00:55 |
| DasEi | newfedoranoob: what's the problem ? | 00:56 |
| stunts513 | olovefairuz: ok im assuming i just need to type:sudo stop gdm, then suudo start gdm, and maybe clik restart x if it pops up a message? | 00:56 |
| newfedoranoob | bad resolution | 00:56 |
| newfedoranoob | im on a 42' screen | 00:56 |
| newfedoranoob | and it only displays to 1/4 of it | 00:56 |
| sjm | mibber, or "-m" | 00:57 |
| realubot | Do you think it's possible to adjust overscan at a plasma-TV using xrandr to get the Desktop fit the TV screen? | 00:57 |
| ilovefairuz | stunts513: add the line but change it to the same resolution | 00:57 |
| newfedoranoob | DasEi, i installed the recommended driver for nvidia also | 00:57 |
| stunts513 | ok got that done | 00:57 |
| newfedoranoob | so i have no idea what the problem is | 00:57 |
| DasEi | newfedoranoob: (please put my Nick when answering) , thats the internal on a lappi you use there ? | 00:57 |
| newfedoranoob | DasEi, yes but the screen is broken so i use an ex monitor | 00:58 |
| newfedoranoob | well a tv | 00:58 |
| stunts513 | ilovefairuz: so i just run those commands now right? | 00:59 |
| mibber | ah so i created a new user but it didn't work - can someone help me? Basically the desktop loads fine, but when i click any icon, nothing happens, the desktop refreshes -- any log files i can check or anything? maybe something isn't loading correctly on start? | 00:59 |
| DasEi | newfedoranoob: sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 01:00 |
| DasEi | newfedoranoob: dpkg -l | grep nvidia | pastebinit , give URL from terminal here | 01:00 |
| sjm | mibber, create the directory manually, change ownership to the user and add the home directory in /etc/passwd. | 01:00 |
| newfedoranoob | DasEi, umm im on fedora rite now cause i cant read anything on ubuntu | 01:01 |
| mibber | sjm: the adduser command worked for that | 01:01 |
| stunts513 | ok uh im going to run that command so il be disconnected from my wifi and such, brb | 01:01 |
| carandraug | I am having some trouble restoring from a backup I made with rsync. During boot, I get a initramfs shell because it can't find the root device (it's looking for the old HD altough I already changed fstab) | 01:01 |
| sjm | mibber, ok. you said above that it "didn't work" . I'm glad it's fixed now. | 01:02 |
| ilovefairuz | stunts513: just add those to xorg.conf and restart x | 01:02 |
| DasEi | newfedoranoob:I see, will problaby be nouveau-firmware that collides there, but would be good to know which nvidia packages are installed, once the obsolete one are removed, run sudo nvidia-xconfig and restart xserver | 01:02 |
| mibber | sjm: well, the user account was fixed, the desktop still doesn't work though | 01:02 |
| sjm | mibber, did you log out and back in? | 01:02 |
| mibber | sjm: yep | 01:02 |
| newfedoranoob | ok | 01:02 |
| DasEi | newfedoranoob: you can do this from terminal, too, so don't need x for it | 01:03 |
| mibber | sjm: its the original problem of why i created a new account, that happens will all accounts, namely i get this error when running 'startx' but i'm not sure if its the problem: 'error setting MTTR (...) inappropriate ioctl for device(25) | 01:03 |
| newfedoranoob | DasEi, thx i will try when i boot ubuntu | 01:03 |
| sjm | mibber, so it's no longer a problem with the home directory? | 01:04 |
| DasEi | newfedoranoob: dpkg -l | grep nvidia shows you the nv-packets, ii means installed on that output | 01:04 |
| mibber | sjm: errr no | 01:04 |
| sjm | mibber, sorry, can't help more right now on that. | 01:05 |
| mibber | sjm: cool thx | 01:05 |
| DasEi | mibber: more issues ? | 01:05 |
| stunts5131 | ilovefairuz:well that didnt work | 01:06 |

| CkhiKuzad | hello! | 01:06 |
| mibber | DasEi: the original issue mainly -- desktop loads fine but when i double click programs it just refreshes and doesn't run anything, i ran console and did sudo service gdm stop, then 'startx', and this desktop doesn't work either, when i switch back to console i only have 1 error, namely 'error setting MTRR (base = 0xd00000000 ... ) Inappropriate oictl for device (25) | 01:07 |
| wcomnisky | how can i secure clean my /var/log dir? | 01:07 |
| mibber | *ioctl | 01:07 |
| wcomnisky | i'm creating a continuous integration server, and i would share the iso without this logs | 01:08 |
| DasEi | mibber: approbiate cmd to restart x is sudo service gdm restart; the error you get there I can't predict once, pastebin your syslog : sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 01:08 |
| DasEi | mibber: pastebinit /var/log/syslog | 01:09 |
| mibber | DasEi: okay | 01:09 |
| Antonis | Hello folks. How can I make the panel in ubuntu 10.04 netbook transparent? I have tried tweaking to theme's config folder but that only worked on ubuntu desktop edition (tried on my notebook). in netbook edition it doesn't | 01:09 |
| DasEi | !ccsm | Antonis | 01:09 |
| ubottu | Antonis: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz | 01:09 |
| aeon-ltd | Antonis: usually transparency doesnt work without compiz | 01:09 |
| aeon-ltd | DasEi: damn you beat me | 01:10 |
| DasEi | :) | 01:10 |
| ilovefairuz | student7: pastebin the log and the conf | 01:10 |
| Antonis | will compiz be too heavy on a netbook? | 01:10 |
| DasEi | Antonis: by the way, compiz is very ressource hungry, I wouldn't do that on a nettbook | 01:10 |
| aeon-ltd | Antonis: what kind of netbook? | 01:10 |
| Antonis | I have an HP mini 210 | 01:11 |
| DasEi | Antonis: you beat me.. hehe | 01:11 |
| aeon-ltd | Antonis: intel integrated gpu? | 01:11 |
| Antonis | not sure :p | 01:11 |
| stunts5131 | ilovefairuz: hey it didnt work, i restarted gdm and still same old same old | 01:11 |
| Antonis | I have been running ubuntu desktop on it though | 01:11 |
| Antonis | :p | 01:11 |
| ilovefairuz | stunts5131: pastebin | 01:12 |
| aeon-ltd | Antonis: we'll have to assume the bare minimum i'd vote against it due to it criplling battery life | 01:12 |
| DasEi | mibber: give url of last cmd here | 01:12 |
| stunts5131 | ilovefairuz:lemme guess u want the log file? | 01:12 |
| ilovefairuz | stunts5131: and the conf | 01:12 |
| stunts5131 | ah ok | 01:12 |
| aeon-ltd | Antonis: not sure its good to use with metacity, but i think tint2 has pseudo-tranparency for a panel | 01:12 |
| Antonis | but isn't there a way to add transparency without compiz? the interface of it (where all icons are9 is transparent.. | 01:12 |
| DasEi | mibber: pastebinit /var/log/syslog <<will show a url in terminal, bring this here | 01:13 |

| Antonis | thanks DasEi and WinstonSmith | 01:26 |
| Fr3d0 | well i've been using amarok for a while and i'am having annoying issue | 01:26 |
| PresuntoRJ | ross_: there is a video resolution applete | 01:26 |
| PresuntoRJ | ross_: unless you are using nvidia, then you need to use the nvidia applet | 01:26 |
| Fr3d0 | it's seem every time i boot my machine doesn't have any sound | 01:26 |
| docid | hey guys, got an oddity, was playing with a hotspot controler on ubuntu server 9.10... after a reboot all my network interfaces save for a virtual bridge and lo are gone... lshw sees them and lists them as UNCLAIMED, dmesg has nothing relating to them, although tcpip does come up.... any ideas? | 01:27 |
| wcomnisky | who can help me? i need to clean the /var/log folder before sharing my continuous integration server in an ISO | 01:27 |
| ross_ | presuntorj: how do i check if i'm using nvidia? | 01:27 |
| Fr3d0 | but when i erase one file in .pulse wich is called .pulse/89d6ae6ee9e76d1cdd7a8e0e4c0707d5-runtime | 01:27 |
| === APERSON is now known as aperson | ||

| etrask | Hello, I recently changed my Ubuntu 10.04 login password, but some things (like Empathy) still make me put in my old password to "unlock" my personal details. How can I change this? | 01:28 |
| PresuntoRJ | ross_: well, it is the brand of the videocard, but if you are not sure, $ lspci should list many hardware including your video card | 01:28 |
| DasEi | mibber: is there any floppy in the drive ? remove it; apart from that , you should for a test remve pulse audio, to see if that causes the lock, and also have alook at group permissions, if the lockup just happens to your new user | 01:28 |
| PresuntoRJ | ross_: if its nvidia, it will say there | 01:29 |
| DasEi | lspci | grep -i vga, PresuntoRJ: ross_: | 01:29 |
| PresuntoRJ | ross_: you can also try looking for a nvidia green icon on the system/preferences menu... if its not there, its a big clue | 01:29 |
| Fr3d0 | in fact i'm using amarok 3.2 | 01:29 |
| PresuntoRJ | DasEi: thanx | 01:30 |
| mibber | DasEi: no floppy drives, i had a user that was fine, but one day it just locked desktop for this user (can't run programs) -- what do i do to pulse audio? remove it? how? | 01:30 |
| DasEi | PresuntoRJ: hwinfo gives even more details | 01:30 |
| PresuntoRJ | ross_: it may even be nvidia but not have the propetary drivers and controls installed... | 01:30 |
| amaury_ | hola | 01:30 |
| PresuntoRJ | DasEi: he was trying to determine only the manufacturer of the video card... ;) | 01:30 |
| DasEi | ah, ok | 01:31 |
| DasEi | mibber: sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio | 01:31 |
| Fr3d0 | sorry i meant amarok 2.3.1 and kde 4.4.2 | 01:31 |
| PresuntoRJ | DasEi: and hwinfo is not installed by default on new systems, so users might need to be able to use lspci before trying other software | 01:31 |
| nitwit | just built new pc but can't get ubuntu to install. it hangs at the boot logo. very simple hardware setup - just mb (h55) cpu (i3) and sata hd connected by hdmi to lcd tv. can anyone suggest why it wont boot? tested ubuntu flash drive on other hardware and it works fine, | 01:32 |
| PresuntoRJ | ross_: any news? | 01:32 |
| DasEi | nitwit: tried to boot a live cd ? | 01:32 |
| mibber | DasEi: under 'the following packages will be removed', one of them is 'ubuntu-desktop' -- isn't this a problem? | 01:33 |

| PresuntoRJ | snow_ru: good to know | 01:36 |
| DasEi | mibber: then let's have an example-app: sudo apt-get install vlc, if not installed yet | 01:36 |
| Fr3d0 | hello i have my desktop with xubuntu and i've installed amarok but i'am having this annoying issue whenever i boot the sound does not work and the only way to make it back is erasing .pulse/89d6ae6ee9e76d1cdd7a8e0e4c0707d5-runtime after that the sound goes back i'm using amarok 2.3.1 | 01:37 |
| PresuntoRJ | DasEi: sudo apt-cache policy vlc should help determine that | 01:37 |
| mibber | DasEi: okay i'm installing vlc,what is an example -app | 01:37 |
| weblordpepeq | sound in linux is a mess | 01:37 |

| PresuntoRJ | weblordpepeq: it is getting better... what is wrong with your system sound? | 01:38 |
| latagore | PresuntoRJ: To be honest xD I can't see the difference | 01:38 |

| MrJones | anyone? :x | 01:55 |
| stunts5131 | thats what i did | 01:55 |
| trimeta | stunts5131: Can you be more specific about what you're trying to do? Do you want to have the output of a specific command sent to a pastebin? Try piping it to wgetpaste. | 01:55 |
| DasEi | mibber: so idk what is then, and running out of time, maybe just reinstall the whole desktop package and let it run ? | 01:55 |
| MrJones | I really have no idea where those settings are stored. somewhere in /etc/ I suppose >.> | 01:55 |

| bpietro | o-brown: don't ask pernission to ask, pls, what's problem | 02:21 |
| dan86 | wasser i'd like to know the answer to that question as well | 02:21 |

| === branden is now known as Guest24992 | ||
| ritlee | dougb_freebsd, shouldn't it just checks a directory for .avi's and moves them to where they should go, also it appears to stop running from crontab when it finds a file... but runs perfectly when executed from cl | 02:26 |
| ritlee | mibber, bash | 02:26 |
| ritlee | mibber, language correctly defined on the first line | 02:27 |
| mibber | ritlee: have your code write to a file at the top of it? maybe there are errors? output stdout / stderr to a file as well | 02:27 |
| bpietro | zephr: what don't work, you can't change exec bit on file or file isn't run either? how you try to run it? is it file's directory in your PATH? | 02:27 |

| stunts513 | hey is ilovefairuz still here? | 02:29 |
| stunts513 | o good | 02:29 |
| stunts513 | hes on the list | 02:29 |
| ritlee | mibber, how so? haven't learned to use those cmds yet :(... if necessary the script itself can be found at http://pastebin.com/Qk0cUknu | 02:29 |
| bpietro | jazzz25: yes, I saw it, loop of testing some (probably unknown or defect) device. But it's on USB bus. is there some USB stuff connected? | 02:29 |
| ilovefairuz | stunts513: yes | 02:30 |
| tracy69 | <stunts513> he was deported | 02:30 |
| stunts513 | ilovefairuz: hey i got the screen pretty far, but when it tries to get into the resilution i want it says crtc0 error | 02:30 |
| tracy69 | :) | 02:30 |
| ilovefairuz | stunts513: what's the exact error string | 02:30 |
| Coronade | hey I have a question, when I installed ubuntu on my old ass laptop it says not-an-authentic copy of Ubuntu?? wth | 02:31 |
| stunts513 | uh i gotta open terminal gimme a sec, some weird command got run and it maed computer lag up so bad i had to reboot | 02:31 |
| bpietro | Coronade, LOL | 02:31 |
| hiexpo | Coronade, did u md5sum it / | 02:31 |
| hart | ugh can someone give me a list of what i should download to make ubuntu 10.04 better? | 02:31 |
| IdleOne | Coronade: watch your language and I don't know where you got your copy of Ubuntu but that is not official | 02:31 |
| Izinucs | Coronade: really? <sarcasim> | 02:31 |
| IdleOne | hart: there are tons of Top 10 things to do after you install ubuntu blogs | 02:32 |
| stunts513 | ilovefairuz: crap i dont know what happened but its not letting me use that resolution agian..... lemme screw with it | 02:32 |
| Wasser | Hi, i changed my fstab to automount a partition in my main hard drive in ~/Music. It works fine, but it always shows the icon of the harddrive in the desktop. Is it possible to remove that icon? | 02:32 |
| hart | ahh ty ^.^ | 02:32 |
| mibber | ritlee: i mean do something like this at the top of your script: date > /tmp/my_task_runtime.txt at the top of your file, so you know that it at least got into your script. Then, in the cron, do this * * * * * myscript.sh &> /tmp/some_output.txt | 02:32 |
| hart | that helps | 02:32 |
| thetimes | well how do I get an authentic copy?? | 02:32 |
| stunts513 | ok now it says it can idk | 02:32 |
| stunts513 | here we go | 02:32 |
| Coronade | well how do i get an authentic copy?? | 02:32 |
| hiexpo | ubuntu.com | 02:33 |
| Coronade | okie... | 02:33 |
| ritlee | hmmm good idea | 02:33 |
| mibber | ritlee: then you check if the files exist, u know ur program ran | 02:33 |
| stunts513 | xrandr --output default --mode "1024x768_60.00" | 02:33 |
| stunts513 | xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed | 02:33 |
| mibber | ritlee: then u know its not cron | 02:33 |
| hanasaki | I set appearance / Extra and it works fine.. however when I logout/logback in it is back to Standard... how do you get it to stay on extra between logout/login? | 02:33 |
| stunts513 | ilovefairuz: xrandr --output default --mode "1024x768_60.00" | 02:33 |
| stunts513 | ilovefairuz: xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed | 02:33 |
| ritlee | mibber, ok i see what your saying, i have something simular, but it's actually at the END of the script | 02:34 |
| mibber | ritlee: yep better to place at start before any script logic | 02:34 |
| ritlee | mibber, good idea ;) | 02:34 |
| Coronade | so... about this non-authentic copy.. | 02:36 |
| Coronade | did it have a rootkit in it or something? | 02:36 |
| red2kic | Coronade and thetimes is the same person living in pretty awful small population. Clearly he have no life. :( | 02:36 |
| Coronade | I know you can't really know for sure, but how does that happen? | 02:36 |
| thetimes | how often do hackers put a rootkit in a ubuntu image? | 02:37 |
| stunts513 | there are rootkits for linux? | 02:37 |
| tracy69 | <thetimes> 75/day | 02:37 |
| thetimes | I don't know, but I would imagine.. | 02:37 |
| stunts513 | i thought linux was supposed to be almost completely virus preoof | 02:37 |
| thetimes | uhh.. | 02:37 |
| thetimes | no. | 02:37 |
| IdleOne | Coronade: thetimes Please pick a client and stick with it. no need to ask the same question on separate nicks | 02:37 |
| Izinucs | stunts513: yes but you typically have to accept its install | 02:38 |

| rjt | "ip link set eth1 up dynamic on" throws 'either "dev" is duplicate or "dynamic" is garbage.' | 02:39 |
| ilovefairuz | stunts513: yes, looking it up | 02:40 |
| rjt | i noticed that on Fedora13, dhclient runs much much much more quickly after running "ip link set eth1 up dynamic on" and this LiveCD ipconfig dhcp client times out too quickly. | 02:40 |
| rjt | BusyBox v1.15.3 (ubuntu1.15.3-1ubuntu4) | 02:41 |
| Izinucs | rjt: is this in the live cd or server? or an install? | 02:42 |

| latagore | Hi, I'd just like to know how to modify GRUB so it doesn't auto pick an OS | 02:42 |
| Izinucs | rjt: could be networkmanager interfearing with your manual attempt | 02:43 |
| Coronade | <sigh> | 02:43 |
| stunts513 | you don't want to fix it manually i dont suppose? | 02:43 |
| Dr_Willis | latagore: you want it to never auto-start a selection. you want it to wait forever for you to hit enter? | 02:43 |
| rjt | NetworkManager is not even on the CD at this point. live-initramfs calls ipconfig which does a dhcp that times out. | 02:43 |
| uRock | ilovefairuz, You were right in the advice earlier. When changing from 64bit to 32bit without changing the /home there were no problems. | 02:43 |
| Izinucs | !grub2 | latagore Look for the "timing" line | 02:44 |

| mmnicolas | does anyone have any experience with live-helper and upstart, im trying to set up root auto-login but /etc/init/tty1.conf gets rewritten by some other scripts, during boot its says these scripts are loaded from /scripts but no such irectory exists | 02:44 |
| latagore | Dr_Willis: considering GRUB autostarts an OS that doesn't work properly at the moment, yes | 02:44 |
| Dr_Willis | latagore: edit the proper entry in /etc/default/grub to set the timeout. I think -1 waits for4ever. | 02:45 |
| Wasser | Hi, i changed my fstab to automount a partition in my main hard drive in ~/Music. It works fine, but it always shows the icon of the harddrive in the desktop. Is it possible to remove that icon? | 02:45 |

| latagore | lzinucs: I'm not running grub2 | 02:45 |
| latagore | Dr_Willis: Thanks a bunch | 02:45 |
| Dr_Willis | mmnicolas: ive made a /etc/init/ script taht started a bash terminal as root on a cons0ole at boot time. - if thats what you are trying to do. | 02:45 |
| Dr_Willis | latagore: if not using grub2. then you will need to edit the /boot/grub/grub.cfg i belive. | 02:46 |
| Izinucs | latagore: then /etc/default/grub is the wrong place.. /etc/boot/grub I seem to remember is close | 02:46 |
| mmnicolas | Dr_Willis: this will probably get overridden by the live scripts too | 02:46 |
| Izinucs | latagore: actually Dr_Willis has it right :) | 02:46 |
| sfears | grub2 uses /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 02:46 |
| Quantum_Ion | man I hate grub2 | 02:46 |
| Dr_Willis | mmnicolas: mine dosent.. becasue its not called /etc/init/ttyS1.conf its called /etc/init/SOMTHINGELSE :) | 02:46 |
| Izinucs | sfears: except that gets overwritten automatically | 02:46 |
| millertimek1a2m3 | jason235 I'm having issues maintaining a connection with an Atheros 928X wireless card | 02:46 |

| Quantum_Ion | I look at grub2 and I don't even want to touch it | 02:47 |
| latagore | Dr_Willis: Thanks to you too :] | 02:47 |
| * sfears also gets confused by grub2 | 02:47 | |
| mmnicolas | Dr_Willis: do you use it in a live environment ? | 02:47 |
| mmnicolas | but mine needs to show up on tty1 | 02:47 |
| * l03a_JR is away, auto-away after 15 minutes, (log\off pager\on) | 02:47 | |
| Dr_Willis | mmnicolas: It uses the openvt command thats not installed by default. You can force it to start on tty1 if you w2anted to. | 02:47 |
| mmnicolas | Dr_Willis: but then it will also start the other tty1.conf | 02:48 |
| realcoolguy | Grub2 problems may grow more prevelant in dual boot environments as a lot of windows programs are now modifying bytes outside of partitioned space. So it is a good idea to know how it works. | 02:48 |

| Izinucs | Dr_Willis: nope.. set in both ssh_config and sshd_config | 02:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Izinucs: or the ssh agent/tool isent running when you connect. i recall thats what sets that variable | 02:50 |
| realcoolguy | latagore: any recent changes? has it worked before and now it doesn't? Also have you ruled out hardwares issues (checking the Ram can be a good idea, memtest86) | 02:50 |
| sfears | latagore: xorg config problems perhaps? | 02:50 |
| Izinucs | Dr_Willis: how do you mean, agent/tool? | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | latagore: can you ssh in, does alt-ctrl-f1 throuigh f5 work? | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Izinucs: when you ssh in, theres some ssh-SOMTHING that runs and sets those variables | 02:51 |

| Izinucs | Dr_Willis: even when logging in locally with "ssh localhost" it gives the same result. | 02:52 |
| Alexander_ | Seeking advice | 02:52 |
| realcoolguy | latagore: hmmm well I always like to test it on the live cd too. If I can get in and everything works there, it's usually something I did to the system. | 02:53 |
| latagore | Dr_Willis: a couple seconds later, the SSH freezes as well | 02:53 |
| Dr_Willis | latagore: so you go to the console... then GDM 'pops back up' eh.. thats odd.. ssh freezing? thats VERY odd. | 02:53 |
| latagore | Talking to two people at the same time is rather difficult =o | 02:53 |
| songoku | How do who know what it is mean of this line: pkgdatadir = $(datadir)/@PACKAGE@ | 02:54 |

| Maahes | I just had a problem with my liveUSB install.....It went into suspend when I closed the laptop lid, which is fine, but I lost my touchpad when it came back up, is there some way to reinitialize the touchpad? | 03:00 |
| latagore | Izinucs: Yep; I did get it working with advice to use nomodeset as a boot parameter | 03:00 |
| Izinucs | latagore: using what parameter? | 03:00 |
| Izinucs | Alexander_: might be a DNS issue.. not sure how to solve that one. | 03:00 |

| MaRk-I | nimbiotics: if you're using vbox OSE you cant use USB devices, need to install the vbox PUEL version | 03:09 |
| Izinucs | latagore: ok.. that a brand name.. not the chipset | 03:09 |
| SubCool | no one? Widget? :-) | 03:10 |
| Izinucs | nimbiotics: the PUEL version is only available on the vbox site.. they do have a deb for ubuuntu | 03:10 |
| latagore | Izinucs: I can't find anything explicitly under chipset | 03:11 |
| Izinucs | latagore: well you could add pci=nomsi anyway and see if that helps.. won't hurt anything in the live environment | 03:12 |

| Izinucs | !clone | avi_ | 03:19 |

| ubottu | avi_: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 03:19 |

| latagore | sfears: It gets past booting | 03:24 |
| latagore | sfears: and onto the logon screen | 03:24 |
| DistantStar | sfears, Hm, well I'm not running Gnome. I'm running Xfce4. Also, I tried the test with aplay and Youtube with no feedback. Another thing is, I'm guessing Ubuntu is running the default GPU HDMI setting instead of the motherboard onboard speaker output. | 03:25 |
| Izinucs | latagore: could also be just a bad burn of the cd | 03:25 |
| latagore | Izinucs: I'm talking to you on a computer installed from the same live CD | 03:26 |
| Izinucs | DistantStar: gnome has a setting section for changing the default for audio from hdmi to others.. perhaps you have a menu item like that | 03:26 |
| Izinucs | latagore: ah.. well. bad cdrom? <I'm shooting in the dark here> | 03:26 |
| latagore | I actually installed it on the other computer first and then this one | 03:27 |
| sfears | latagore: you said your tty screens freeze as well?? | 03:27 |
| latagore | sfears: Yep | 03:27 |
| DistantStar | Izinucs, I'm curious if Xfce4 has that setting and if not, what would you recommend? | 03:27 |
| Izinucs | DistantStar: it may be there.. or it may be a supplemental program you install to change the settings.. it's been a long time since I've run Xfce | 03:28 |

| Izinucs | !root | theyranos | 03:29 |
| ubottu | theyranos: 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 | 03:29 |
| Micheal` | hmmmm like gnome is a 3 min install? | 03:29 |
| sfears | latagore: perhaps some kind of script is being executed pre-login crashing your system? i wouldn't know where to start with that. does recovery mode freeze as well? | 03:29 |
| Maahes | theyranos, why would you want to enable root? | 03:30 |
| theyranos | Maahes, liznucs: Because I need to do apt, and a recent apt-get dist-upgrade broke sudo | 03:30 |

| Izinucs | theyranos: boot to the recovery kernel.. you're root there by default | 03:31 |

| Jordan_U | theyranos: What happens when you try to use sudo? What package do you think broke sudo? | 03:34 |
| theyranos | Maahes: I assume you've already tried this, but do you know what kernel module is driving your trackpad? You might be able to reinit with a simple rmmod followed by modprobe. | 03:34 |
| sfears | latagore: looks like it loads vesa display configs.. i've had problems at login before with nVidia chips, that's why i asked if your tty's freeze | 03:35 |
| latagore | Mibber: shouldn't you refresh or something? | 03:35 |
| Maahes | theyranos, THANKYOU, I had forgotten the damn command, the only thing I could remember was depmod | 03:35 |
| theyranos | Jordan_U: Something to do with NFS. Sudo itself works, but I'm no longer in the admin group... or any group for that matter. | 03:35 |
| mibber | latagore: refresh what | 03:35 |

| JabDesign | anyone else experience that? | 03:35 |
| sfears | latagore: since your tty's freeze i would say it's not a display driver problem, but nVidia stuff is pesky sometimes. Try loading a generic xorg.conf file and see what happens | 03:36 |
| latagore | sfears: I wouldn't know how to do that | 03:36 |
| Jordan_U | theyranos: Is your /etc/group on NFS? | 03:36 |
| sfears | well.. first try the nomode set boot option | 03:36 |

| theyranos | Jordan_U: NIS, sorry, and yes. | 03:36 |
| latagore | sfears: I tried it before and I know it works | 03:36 |
| theyranos | Jordan_U: The existence of my user account, and the fact that it should be in admin, are both NIS things. | 03:37 |
| sfears | latagore: it sound kind of like the nomodeset option loads generic display options which might solve your problem, if so we've diagnosed your problem and can play with your xorg settings then | 03:37 |
| latagore | sfears: Alright, though I wouldn't know how to change xorg | 03:38 |
| theyranos | I can probably just tweak /etc/group on the virtual machine to get back in... | 03:38 |
| sfears | ohh.. well then latagore, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" | 03:38 |

| latagore | sfears: Yep | 03:43 |
| upgrdman | anyone know of a good gui for syncing folders between two linux boxes? | 03:43 |
| sfears | ok.. "lspci" what does it say by VGA? | 03:43 |
| xangua | upgrdman: ubuntu one, dropbox¿ | 03:43 |
| i_is_broke | can i safely remove konqueror from my system, and if so whats the easiest way? | 03:44 |
| Micheal` | avi_, chack here: http://clonezilla.org/ | 03:44 |
| latagore | sfears: ATI Radeon HD 4200 | 03:44 |
| Izinucs | rsync has a gui.. look in synaptic | 03:44 |
| Micheal` | grsync | 03:44 |
| sfears | i_is_broke: "sudo apt-get remove --purge konqueror" maybe? | 03:44 |
| Izinucs | that's it !! | 03:44 |
| avi_ | Micheal`, That's what I'm angling at right now. Can you personally vouch for it's success? | 03:44 |
| Micheal` | you're welcome | 03:44 |
| i_is_broke | latagore, i have the same onboard graphics card and it sucks...bought an nvidia and works like a charm.. | 03:45 |
| Micheal` | i havent done those in a while i just backup my home and rebuild | 03:45 |
| latagore | i_is_broke: lol Mine is the netbook version | 03:45 |
| Micheal` | grsycn it to be exact lol | 03:45 |
| theyranos | i can now sudo su - on the virtual machine thanks to some config file tweaking from the host machine, but I would still like to enable root on this machine so I have a backup for when this happens again. | 03:45 |
| avi_ | Micheal`, Right. But i'm concerned about apps and settings not data.. all my media/documents I have on an external ext4 drive specifically for that. :D | 03:46 |
| Izinucs | theyranos: create a secondary user account for backup.. | 03:46 |
| sfears | latagore: did you say you currently have no "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" file? | 03:46 |
| i_is_broke | latagore, sorry about your luck...lol i left my laptop running win 7 just for that reason. i didnt want to mess with it. | 03:46 |
| === Guest45235 is now known as chazz | ||
| latagore | sfears: That's just my conjecture; I'll look for it now | 03:46 |
| latagore | i_is_broke: It | 03:46 |
| Micheal` | what app settings? they should all be in your home , well in most cases | 03:46 |
| * sfears is looking up the definition of conjecture | 03:46 | |
| latagore | i_is_broke: It's apparently one of the best netbook graphics cards lol | 03:47 |
| adante | how can i disable compiz from the command line, when the gnome-session/x display is not running (ie next time gnome starts i don't want it to start compiz) | 03:47 |
| DistantStar | Izinucs, I have played around with the sound settings, between the on board and the HDMI, but no sound still. Is this a problem with the asound.conf issue? | 03:47 |
| Izinucs | adante: metacity --replace | 03:47 |
| soreau | adamx: chmod -x `which compiz` | 03:47 |
| avi_ | Micheal`, I mean like, all the apps I've installed, custom settings, server config files, and other settings that (I don't think are in /home/$USER | 03:47 |
| * sfears adds conjecture to his dictionary | 03:47 | |
| Jordan_U | adante: Easiest way is "sudo apt-get remove compiz" | 03:47 |
| sfears | the world is flat, that is my conjecture | 03:47 |
| theyranos | Izinucs: Thanks. Donno why I didn't think of that :-) | 03:47 |
| i_is_broke | latagore, oh i love it on win 7, just not for my linux box... its got great graphics, just amd needs to make it easier for everyone to install them right. | 03:47 |
| Izinucs | DistantStar: sounds like a mystery to me.. no pun intended :).. sorry I don't have the answers | 03:47 |
| adante | Izinucs: that requires an x display | 03:47 |
| Micheal` | avi_, well cloning the wholedrive wont help you | 03:47 |
| === jdef is now known as johnmn3 | ||
| DistantStar | Izinucs, Ok, thanks anyways. :) | 03:48 |
| avi_ | Micheal`, Oh no? | 03:48 |
| latagore | sfears: I checked the directory; it's empty | 03:48 |
| latagore | sfears: I mean the file is not there; wtf am I saying | 03:48 |
| adante | Jordan_U: thanks... any idea if it is possible to disable it, not remove ? | 03:48 |
| Izinucs | theyranos: simple is best :) | 03:48 |
| theyranos | DistantStar: Have you already ruled out something locking your sound devices? sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/* | 03:48 |
| Micheal` | avi_, well if you clone the whole drive and them reinstall the whole system are you just going to copy parts over? | 03:48 |
| i_is_broke | latagore, did you use the alternate disk to load ubuntu on your laptop? | 03:48 |
| sfears | alright latagore, does anyone know how to create a generic vesa xorg.conf file if "dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" doesn't work? | 03:48 |
| Micheal` | avi_, and if you restore the clone well you gain nothing from reinstalling | 03:49 |
| Izinucs | adante: I realize that.. however I think he was mixing gnome with x.. if gnome doesn't load or hangs X may still be running. | 03:49 |
| DistantStar | theyranos, They are all controled by pulseaudio, if that's what you're asking. | 03:50 |
| latagore | i_is_broke: I installed it onto my hard drive and then booted | 03:50 |
| avi_ | Micheal`, No I don't intend to like "drag" the files over. I am hoping for a system where I can click "backup/clone" in my current install of Lucid, then, after i've wiped the HD and set up the partiton map as I like, install vanilla lucid to the partition i've assigned for it, and simply hit "restore" and walk away. Then I'll come back and my system will be *exactly* as I left it. | 03:50 |
| avi_ | Micheal`, Yes, I should've mentioned that, the reason I'm reinstalling is not about Lucid.. it's actually about OS X. | 03:50 |
| avi_ | Micheal`, But sadly I can't just reinstall the OS X partiton, because OS X | 03:51 |
| Micheal` | freebsd gotcha | 03:51 |
| nimbiotics | i downloaded a file with extension .bundle How do I install this package? | 03:51 |
| avi_ | Micheal`, 's restore CD crashes when it has to deal with ext4 cds. | 03:51 |
| Micheal` | thats right | 03:51 |
| latagore | sfears: I'll google it | 03:51 |
| adante | Izinucs: the person who asked was me - and x isn't running. I want to disable it so the next time i run gnome-session in my X session it does not try to start compiz (and hopefully no longer crashes) | 03:51 |
| Izinucs | avi_: simply backing up /home will retain most if not all of your settings.. then the aptitude line to clone the packages that are installed should do it.. | 03:52 |
| Micheal` | avi_, are you looking to duel boot? | 03:52 |
| theyranos | DistantStar: unfortunately I'm not familiar with pulseaudio, so I'm out of my league. Sorry | 03:52 |
| soreau | adante: Jordan_U has the best probable solution with 'sudo apt-get remove compiz' | 03:52 |
| avi_ | Izinucs, It probably will. Wait a sec I need to explain my situation more to the both of you. | 03:52 |
| Izinucs | adante: then uninstall compiz.. | 03:53 |
| Baxnie | i'm trying to connect using ssh, but after connect, server instantly closes connection | 03:53 |
| theyranos | DistantStar: May want to try to kill pulseaudio and test with aplay again just to be sure that's not it, if that's what came up from that fuser command. | 03:53 |
| Izinucs | avi_: I think I got it.. | 03:53 |
| adante | soreau, Izinucs, Jordan_U : ok, thanks guys | 03:53 |
| sfears | latagore: "apt-cache search envy" does a program envyng-qt still exist? | 03:53 |
| Izinucs | avi_: you want to save your programs and settings for a future reinstall with manual partitioning.. | 03:53 |
| latagore | sfears: Nothing | 03:54 |
| Micheal` | ok the wife and her boobies call me later yall | 03:54 |
| j3rg | yo | 03:54 |
| greezmunkey | Baxnie: Are you connecting locally? | 03:54 |
| j3rg | wats up everyone | 03:54 |
| j3rg | one small question | 03:54 |
| j3rg | nothing hard | 03:54 |
| greezmunkey | j3rg: put it on one line, and ask away. :) | 03:54 |
| Baxnie | greezmunkey: i've a dedicated server, i'm connecting to it, it was normal then a friend told me to use 'screen', after it a could not connect again | 03:55 |
| DistantStar | theyranos, No, it doesn't seem to be it. I must say, I'm confused. | 03:55 |
| Jordan_U | adante: There is also a gconf key for setting the default window manager. | 03:55 |
| j3rg | what's the term when one computer gives another computer internet access? | 03:55 |
| Baxnie | donno if screen has any relation | 03:55 |
| j3rg | I know it involves port forwarding | 03:55 |
| greezmunkey | j3rg: connection sharing | 03:55 |
| avi_ | Micheal`, Izinucs, Okay. I currently have a tripleboot system that works fine mostly, on my mac. (Win7, Lucid, latest OS X). Except my OS X partition needs to be reinstalled. To do that, because of complications/limitations with Apple's reinstall functions, I need to basically WIPE the whole drive and then set up 3 partitions.. then install OS X+Win7+Lucid. So naturally there's nothing wrong with my Win7 and Lucid partitions, hence my desi | 03:55 |
| avi_ | re to retain their EXACT state. I'm explaining this because i want to make sure that it's understood that I have NO need to resintall the Ubuntu base system at all.. | 03:55 |
| Agu10 | hey | 03:55 |
| j3rg | greezmunkey: thanks alot | 03:55 |
| j3rg | of to google it in Ubuntu | 03:56 |
| Agu10 | if I want to make a virtualbox machine to run without having to install virtualbox on ubuntu, what can I do? | 03:56 |
| greezmunkey | Baxnie: The connection drops as soon as it gets connected, or you just see a blank screen? | 03:56 |
| Izinucs | avi_: how many partitions are you currently using for your ubuntu install? | 03:56 |
| Agu10 | is there any virtualbox portable for ubuntu? | 03:56 |
| pseudomorph | can anyone tell me how to disable an addon via about:config? updates seem to have killed access to menu's | 03:56 |
| Agu10 | or is there any offline installer so I don't need internet? | 03:56 |
| sfears | latagore: i see something else here, but i'm hesitant to try becuase i don't want to leave your recovery gui useless, but if you kill your xserver session, in ubuntu "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" then run "X -reconfigure" you may get to manually setup your xorg. Just make sure you choose VESA drivers | 03:56 |
| pLr | Agu10, no. You must install virtualbox to run it | 03:56 |
| Baxnie | greezmunkey: after it connects, i get a message talking about last login, etc and then it closes connection | 03:56 |
| Baxnie | strangest thing is that i just connected with filezilla with no problem | 03:57 |
| avi_ | Izinucs, Well I'm pretty sure just an ext4 partition for my system and a swap file. I installed Ubuntu to use the remaining free space.. so whatever sort of partition scheme that would be is what I've got. | 03:57 |
| greezmunkey | Baxnie: ok. Can you access the target machine via console, to run // sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog // so you can troubleshoot further?? | 03:57 |
| latagore | sfears: That's okay, I can always boot from USB (hopefully there is a command line) | 03:57 |
| sfears | latagore: see here http://blogs.koolwal.net/2009/04/24/howto-resolve-x-server-video-driver-errorscrashes-in-debian-linux/ | 03:58 |
| Baxnie | greezmunkey: didnt understand ur point | 03:58 |
| Baxnie | i cant acess it via terminal cause i disconnects as soon it connects | 03:58 |
| greezmunkey | Baxnie: do you have keyboard access to the target machine? | 03:58 |
| theyranos | DistantStar: Okay, when you start alsamixer, what do you get for Card and Chip? Does that correspond to your sound card or the new card you installed? | 03:58 |
| Baxnie | no | 03:58 |
| Izinucs | avi_: ok.. if you let the installer do it's own thing then you have 2.. one that is everything but swap and then a swap partition.. if clonezilla will do ext4 then that's the way to go. the answer to that though is a bit nebulous | 03:58 |
| theyranos | \me is still guessing | 03:58 |
| latagore | sfears: I can't seem to stop it | 03:59 |
| greezmunkey | Baxnie: what command are you issuing to access the box? (dummy up the actual IP address) | 03:59 |
| sfears | you need to be in a tty screen, you can't kill X if your using it | 03:59 |
| negers | any nederlanders here? | 03:59 |
| Izinucs | avi_: another way is by using dd but I have no experience with it. | 03:59 |
| Baxnie | greezmunkey: ssh root@ip | 03:59 |
| Baxnie | then i enter password | 03:59 |
| DistantStar | theyranos, According to pavucontrol, ALSA plugin-in reads [npviewer.bin]. Alsamixer shows the on board sound card being read and active and maxed out. | 04:00 |
| avi_ | Izinucs, from what i've found out, Partimage does _not_ currently support ext4, while dd (i think that's more trouble than it's worth) and CloneZilla support ext4. | 04:00 |
| greezmunkey | Baxnie: And, this is a Ubuntu box? Do you have another account that has remote access permissions? | 04:00 |
| theyranos | DistantStar: aaaand I'm out of ideas. | 04:00 |
| sfears | dd if=/dev/sr0 of=/place/of/file/filename.iso | 04:00 |
| iShanwnW | Hey is there a way to add a panel to second monitor in 10.04? | 04:00 |
| theyranos | sorry | 04:00 |
| latagore | sfears: I'm using the recovery console; it says no service found, so I think I'll be able to modify it | 04:00 |
| DistantStar | theyranos, That's fine. Thanks for your help. :) | 04:00 |
| Izinucs | avi_: ah there you go.. sfears gave you the line above | 04:00 |
| sfears | latagore: try "sudo X -reconfigure" | 04:01 |
| TiK | sfears: what about bootable iso's? | 04:01 |
| kerdal | what do i use to put video files on my IPOD | 04:01 |
| Baxnie | greezmunkey: its a debian box but i'm using ubuntu, and yesterday everything was going fine | 04:01 |
| Baxnie | i noticed the issue after entering the screen command | 04:01 |
| avi_ | Izinucs, Okay. So let me get this straight. Now that you know what I'm looking to do.. I right now go and install clonezilla and tell it to clone my whole HD to some file/folder on an external HD I've got. Then once I set up the other OS's as I like, I install Lucid from a normal install CD, install CloneZIlla, and then hit "restore" or something? | 04:01 |
| sfears | dd makes an exact copy.. so if the iso is bootable DD will make a bootable copy | 04:01 |
| latagore | sfears: I did -configure and my console terminated | 04:02 |
| Maahes | anyone know what kernel module besides psmouse drives the synaptic driver? | 04:02 |
| holmser | how do I allow my new server to access the mysql database on another network machine? | 04:02 |
| iShanwnW | How can I add a panel in 10.04? | 04:02 |
| avi_ | Izinucs, sfears, I think my problem is that I don't know how to go about "restoring" a partiton from a .iso I make of it. So let's say I used dd to save my current machine's HD to an ext HD, how can I go about restoring that? | 04:02 |
| greezmunkey | Baxnie: wierd. Have you ever tested logging into the box multiple times before you installed screen? | 04:02 |
| red2kic | iShanwnW: Right-click on an existing panel and "Add New Panel" | 04:02 |
| holmser | I have already edited the config files so it is listening, but I am still getting denied | 04:02 |
| mibber | hi guys can someone help plz, i can't run icons from my desktop | 04:02 |
| mibber | i've tried so many things but i can't figure this out | 04:03 |
| avi_ | !details | mibber | 04:03 |
| ubottu | mibber: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 04:03 |
| greezmunkey | Baxnie: I mean concurrent logins that is... | 04:03 |
| sfears | dd (disk dump) if (input file) of (output file) dd if=/place/of/file/filename.iso of=/dev/hda1 | 04:03 |
| latagore | sfears: It's not responding to my power button either; usually it would start turning off by bow | 04:03 |
| iShanwnW | red2kic: non-exsistant | 04:03 |
| red2kic | !resetpanel | iShanwnW | 04:03 |
| ubottu | iShanwnW: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 04:03 |
| Baxnie | greezmunkey: oh!!! | 04:03 |
| Baxnie | the screen command keeps a connection alive right? | 04:03 |
| sfears | not sure what that would be latagore | 04:03 |
| latagore | sfears: I forced it to turn off | 04:03 |
| greezmunkey | Baxnie: usually :) | 04:03 |
| Sonja | how do i make a folder password-protected so only i can access it? | 04:03 |
| Baxnie | greezmunkey: how do i get this screen back? | 04:04 |
| iShanwnW | red2kic: I want to add a pannel to my second monitor. | 04:04 |
| mibber | I have version 10.04 inside vmware, i've been debugging this all day, the problem is with my desktop, when i double click an icon nothing happens, it doesn't run the program, mouse cursor goes busy, then goes back to normal and nothing happens | 04:04 |
| kerdal | looking for video to ipod | 04:04 |
| Izinucs | avi_: ah.. but you said earlier that you weren't going to reinstall... clonezilla will put back all data in the same partition.. no choice.. so if you don't want to reinstall then clonezilla will do it for you maintaining the same partitioning sceme you had previously.. if you want to separate /home to its own partition after the restore you can do that anytime. | 04:04 |
| red2kic | iShanwnW: Hold ALT and drag the panel to second monitor. | 04:04 |
| xangua | iShanwnW: right clic>new panel | 04:04 |
| sfears | avi_: there may be some permission issues | 04:04 |
| latagore | sfears: I rebooted the console | 04:04 |
| avi_ | sfears, Wait wait. So I guess I'd need to boot into a LiveCD to do that, right? Because I can't restore to the partition that I'm running dd from.. | 04:04 |
| sfears | avi_: you may need to use su in order to copy some of the files at which point may cause issues when you put them back becuase you wil be a different user | 04:04 |
| greezmunkey | Baxnie: you have to issue the ssh command in such a way as to reconnect to that session. I'd have to look that up, but I'm sure there are others here who can give that up off the top of their heads. | 04:04 |
| Izinucs | avi_: clonezilla has it's own live cd | 04:04 |
| iShanwnW | red2kic: xangua: nope still don't get another panel or move exsisting one | 04:05 |
| latagore | sfears: I have one question; if someone is trying to use my computer, and they use root; they don't even need to put in a password O_o | 04:05 |
| sfears | i would say that's correct avi_ | 04:05 |
| Baxnie | greezmunkey: i'll restart computer :P thanks for ur help | 04:05 |
| velociostrich | I've got a bit of a hardware conundrum that I'm struggling to solve: I'm building a machine for someone and I can't get the darn thing to even light up the display. It's got an ASUS M4N75TD motherboard that has a "DRAM" LED that (I think) is supposed to show when the RAM isn't quite right, and it lights up with both sticks of (matched) DDR3 are in; it blinks when only one is in. The manual is kinda vague; anyone know what the LED sho | 04:05 |
| velociostrich | uld be doing or where I could find out, and if there's some way of pinpointing whats wrong? | 04:05 |
| greezmunkey | Baxnie: btw... uh, ok. | 04:05 |
| sfears | latagore: recovery modes do boot into root | 04:05 |
| sfears | i think | 04:05 |
| velociostrich | sfears: they give you the option of dropping to a root shell or w/e | 04:06 |
| Izinucs | avi_: the other issue you'll have to deal with is grub.. it most likely will have to be reinstalled. | 04:06 |
| avi_ | Izinucs, Ahhh. I see. That makes much sense. So to "save" the current partiton i need to boot from the CD... then, once I need to restore, I boot to the same CD again, and point it in the right direction of where to load/save from/to.. correct? | 04:06 |
| latagore | sfears: So what would stop someone from accessing my computer and deleting everything | 04:06 |
| sfears | you need to remove the recovery mode lines from your grub file | 04:06 |
| Izinucs | avi_: basically.. the clonezilla cd will make use of the external usb drive to store the image.. and restore the image | 04:06 |
| avi_ | Izinucs, I think i'll go with CloneZilla.. I think it is more suited for my purpose and makes things a bit easier. | 04:06 |
| latagore | sfears: Okay; I'll ask about that after I get this silly thing solved | 04:07 |
| sfears | avi_: i've had mixed results with the dd, i use it mostly for copying cds | 04:07 |
| avi_ | Izinucs, Well that's exactly what I'm looking for then! Thanks a ton, I think i'll burn that CD and poke around with it before I make a commit. | 04:07 |

| sfears | turns all bits to 0 | 04:07 |
| avi_ | sfears, As do I, I would've assumed that cloning/resoting a WHOLE drive with dd would cause a whole mess of problems. | 04:07 |
| * undifined hits sfears with a cluebat | 04:08 | |
| Izinucs | avi_: you can use dd for partiitons too. | 04:08 |
| sfears | latagore: try X --reconfigure | 04:08 |
| latagore | sfears: I tried configure again and it stopped responding | 04:08 |
| negers | latagore: try X --reconfigure | 04:08 |
| negers | sfears: I tried configure again and it stopped responding | 04:08 |
| avi_ | Izinucs, Right right. Well I think that i'm going to go with CloneZilla any how. Thanks very much! | 04:09 |
| negers | Izinucs, Right right. Well I think that i'm going to go with CloneZilla any how. Thanks very much! | 04:09 |

| velociostrich | latagore: the padlock? lol | 04:11 |
| sfears | well latagore i think your issue is with your xorg file, or lack of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. you need to load a generic xorg.conf using vesa drivers, from there you can install functional ATI drivers to get good resolution and 3D rendering. since your "dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" doesn' t seem to work i'm not sure what your next step is, but figure out how to get your vesa drivers in your xorg.conf file | 04:11 |
| latagore | velociostrich: no disabling USB boot and putting a password on the bios | 04:11 |
| sfears | got to go... peace | 04:11 |

| latagore | That's one DAMN good idea | 04:12 |
| greezmunkey | Baxnie: Chack this: ssh -t user@machine.com screen -r, see if that format works. | 04:13 |

| luke-jr | RQ-170: … IMAP is plenty secure with SSL, and the point of PGP is that it doesn't need to be | 04:27 |
| greezmunkey | latagore: when you ran the xorg reconfig, did you look in your home directory for the output? | 04:28 |

| timdrake | help on printing | 04:40 |
| heizmann | kk9822 generally, I use this: sudo su -c "apt-get update; apt-get -y --force-yes dist-upgrade" && sudo -k | 04:40 |

| nocturnus | itcan't bios update | 04:50 |
| nocturnus | i* | 04:50 |
| nocturnus | can't | 04:50 |
| qldvic217 | order12: I meant installing a fresh install over your existing one. Upgrade breaks things so thats what I normally do. | 04:50 |
| adminewb | nocturnus, my question had to do with screen presentation | 04:51 |
| Roasted_ | Hey guys. I'm going to look into rsyncing 1 ubuntu box to another for backup purposes. What do I need to know to get started? I've used rsync heavily, but only with local drives. With networking it, I'm kind of lost. | 04:51 |
| nocturnus | adminewb: i press f12 and then select 'boot form usb' | 04:51 |
| SubCool | greezmunkey, i installed KDE via CLI on ubuntu 9.1,, after the computer boots and i login, - all that occurs is i get a Command prompt. - no desktop, nothing. | 04:51 |
| nocturnus | adminewb: then it fails, and i have to press the power-button, no error message given | 04:51 |
| adminewb | nocturnus, ok that's plain enough | 04:51 |
| SubCool | greezmunkey, well i get a background- thats it. | 04:52 |
| heizmann | another question :) Anybody knows a script which install all git component for the Compiz Fusion system??? :) an example of a such script can be downloaded from http://phatandfresh.free.fr/cfinstall.sh (it is in french, very interesting but non maintaining) | 04:52 |
| greezmunkey | SubCool: what kind of background? | 04:52 |
| nocturnus | adminewb: what now? | 04:52 |
| nocturnus | adminewb: should i kill myself? | 04:52 |
| heizmann | Izinucs :-/ bad news :-/ | 04:52 |
| SubCool | greezmunkey, normal kde blue | 04:52 |
| adminewb | nocturnus, i gather from what you said that your USB disk is partitioned in the old fashioned MSDOS scheme, true? | 04:52 |
| order12 | qldvic217, I am thinking installing 8.04 again | 04:52 |
| order12 | that was the most stable | 04:52 |
| Izinucs | heizmann: as I remember prelink and preload were used to speed a system up but isn't necessary these days | 04:53 |
| greezmunkey | SubCool: can you do a ctrl+alt+F2 to get to a console prompt? | 04:53 |
| SubCool | greezmunkey, i think i forgot a package while installing KDE, but- i cant figure out which one. | 04:53 |
| SubCool | im already at a console prompt- | 04:53 |
| qldvic217 | 10.04 is quite stable as a fresh install, plus its a LTS so you won't have to upgrade and still get updates for 3 years | 04:54 |
| SubCool | thats all that shows up- the blue background, and a console prompt. Thats it | 04:54 |
| heizmann | Izinucs :) okay... Personally, I do not see the difference before and after the installation of preload and prelink. | 04:54 |
| soreau | heizmann: It's just called compiz now, the 'fusion' part has been dropped. This is how to use the compiz build script for git: sudo apt-get install git-core && git clone git://anongit.compiz.org/users/soreau/scripts && ./scripts/build_compiz++ | 04:54 |
| greezmunkey | SubCool: Try typing startx | 04:54 |
| SubCool | greezmunkey, ya- that worked | 04:54 |
| adminewb | nocturnus, as in fdisk sets up as many as 4 primaries, or 3 primary + extended, etc | 04:54 |
| SubCool | greezmunkey, it brings me to gnome- well it does if i exit out of the kde, and then type startx | 04:54 |
| nocturnus | adminewb: what? | 04:54 |
| nocturnus | adminewb: its primary | 04:54 |
| order12 | qldvic217, whats the difference between the normal and LTS version ? 8.04 | 04:55 |
| nocturnus | adminewb: its partioned in 10G block fat32 starting at the first sector | 04:55 |
| heizmann | soreau :) good news !!! :D !! All is in 1 script??? | 04:55 |
| adminewb | do you have more partitions that just the 1 primary, which is marked as active/bootable? | 04:55 |
| SubCool | greezmunkey, in kde when i type that, it says user not authorized to run the X Server | 04:55 |
| soreau | heizmann: That repo has a set of scripts to do different things | 04:55 |
| greezmunkey | SubCool: ok, that's more info than I had to start with...I think you broke it. | 04:55 |
| soreau | heizmann: but yes, it builds all compiz components from git with that sscript | 04:55 |
| qldvic217 | order12: LTS is supported for much longer. 8.04 was an LTS too, but that will only be supported for another year while 10.04 will be for three | 04:56 |
| SubCool | greezmunkey, lol- broke it? all i did was install kde!!! | 04:56 |
| adminewb | nocturnus, I follow on the fat32, but not clear what 10G block means | 04:56 |
| SubCool | greezmunkey, gnome works | 04:56 |
| greezmunkey | SubCool: how did you install KDE? | 04:56 |
| nocturnus | adminewb: 10G partition, starting at the 'front' of the drive, sector 0 | 04:56 |
| SubCool | CLI | 04:56 |
| nocturnus | adminewb: the disk is 150G, but the partition is 10G | 04:56 |
| SubCool | sudo apt-get install kdm, kubuntu desktop kdecore | 04:56 |
| greezmunkey | SubCool: can you back it out, and try again? | 04:56 |
| SubCool | blah lah | 04:56 |
| order12 | qldvic217, I dont want 10.04 | 04:56 |
| heizmann | soreau :p hum, good!!! Very good! No problem with this script??? (updating, locales (e.g. french locales), special configurations of x11... ? | 04:56 |
| SubCool | idk- how do u do that? | 04:56 |
| order12 | will wait another year for it to become stable | 04:57 |
| adminewb | nocturnus, so then you have some 140Gb free on disk, undedicated to any partition | 04:57 |
| order12 | I think its eating up my system | 04:57 |
| soreau | heizmann: If it fails in any way, it should guide you to the compiz forums or the compiz channels here on irc | 04:57 |
| nocturnus | adminewb: yes, but its at the end | 04:58 |
| bsmith093 | Is there a definitive list of dvd ready codecs for a video file, so i dont have to waste time transcoding it | 04:58 |
| nocturnus | adminewb: and its not partiition, so it wouldnt attempt to boot it | 04:58 |
| adminewb | nocturnus, I may be mistaken on this, but it seems ill advised to start a FAT32 partition at sector 0, which is the boot sector | 04:58 |
| samoangunner | HI need some help | 04:58 |
| greezmunkey | SubCool: sudo apt-get remove -purge ... ... ... | 04:58 |
| nocturnus | adminewb: no its okay, the partitioner reserved space for the MBR | 04:59 |
| heizmann | soreau :) thanks!... but before to exec the command ./scripts/build_compiz++ may I uninstall my actual (git)compiz? :) | 04:59 |
| SubCool | oh my- lol | 04:59 |
| soreau | heizmann: But there is no special configuration.. if compiz 0.8 is already working for you, this should install compiz 0.9 into a nonstandard prefix, leaving your 0.8 install in tact | 04:59 |
| samoangunner | anyone having problems with the desktop crashing. | 04:59 |
| SubCool | ok | 04:59 |
| bsmith093 | for example this: DivX MS-MPEG-4 Version 3 is what my file says under video codec and the audio is mp3 | 04:59 |
| adminewb | nocturnus so then your FAT32 starts at the next cylinder boundary or some such | 04:59 |
| NeverCast | Hey question, What's up with the naming of so libraries ? | 04:59 |
| heizmann | soreau :) ok... my actual compiz is installed on /usr/local | 04:59 |
| soreau | heizmann: You can do whatever you want but the script should be able to install and run regardless what ever else you have installed | 04:59 |
| samoangunner | when it happens I can still move the mouse and thing more. | 04:59 |
| nocturnus | adminewb: yes, probably | 04:59 |
| samoangunner | I cant even reboot | 05:00 |
| soreau | heizmann: The script default it /opt/compiz++ but you can change the PREFIX in the script if you like | 05:00 |
| adonis | hello can anyone help me with VMware player and how to resize the VM window??? | 05:00 |
| heizmann | soreau :) but if is intalled on /usr/local ??? no problem wih that? Actually, I'm using the smo-script | 05:00 |
| NeverCast | in /usr/lib there are libraries, <somename>.so, but they have like version numbers appended to them? Why? and is there a way I can just keep the latest version or something? Because I'm having to go change config files with all these names. | 05:00 |
| samoangunner | an error comes up when I try reboot | 05:00 |
| adminewb | nocturnus in that case the question comes up about how grub2(?) may have set up your bootability | 05:00 |
| samoangunner | an I/O error | 05:00 |
| heizmann | soreau (if you know what is it, of course ^^) | 05:00 |
| soreau | heizmann: you shouldn't have a problem other than having to setup ccsm after everything is installed | 05:00 |
| Proxhotdog | hi | 05:00 |
| nocturnus | adminewb: unetbootin uses grub1 | 05:01 |
| travis | quit | 05:01 |
| travis | exit | 05:01 |
| nocturnus | adminewb: actually there is no boot manager | 05:01 |
| Proxhotdog | does anyone know why when i tried to boot with live cd, it said i8042.c: No controller found | 05:01 |
| heizmann | soreau :) I backup my datas, and let's go =) | 05:01 |
| adminewb | nocturnus, hmm haven't dealt with grub legacy for a long time | 05:01 |
| samoangunner | I have reloaded many times and still the same | 05:01 |
| nocturnus | adminewb: there is no boot manager since there's only one partition | 05:01 |
| adonis | anyone know how to get VMware player to run full screen when running ubuntu???? | 05:01 |
| adminewb | nocturnus not familiar either with netbootin | 05:01 |
| soreau | heizmann: Great, let me know if you have any trouble with it, in #compiz | 05:01 |
| pie_time | what's the command to find out how many watts my power supply is | 05:01 |
| nocturnus | adminewb: unetbootin is the official way to install this distro! | 05:01 |
| SubCool | greezmunkey, idk- doesnt look promising- that would take out my xorg, and xserver-org | 05:02 |
| samoangunner | I also have it running on 3 other computer and all have the same problem | 05:02 |
| samoangunner | please help | 05:02 |
| adminewb | nocturnus that was not my impression | 05:02 |
| heizmann | soreau ;) okay... bitchx is my friend in a tty, if all crash lol | 05:02 |
| greezmunkey | SubCool: you are right, that would be a pain... | 05:02 |
| adonis | hello! | 05:02 |
| === phurl__ is now known as Phurl | ||
| adminewb | nocturnus can't imagine how you can boot lucid without grub2, when you at least need to be able to choose a certain kernel? | 05:03 |
| tracy69 | <adonis> hello | 05:03 |
| SubCool | greezmunkey, im logging into gnome now- so .. its something stupid. If its anything, the KDE splash never occurs... the console pops up when the splash should | 05:03 |
| fred2040 | @Adonis, VMWare have an utility... http://www.vmware.com/support/ws55/doc/new_guest_tools_ws.html | 05:03 |
| nocturnus | adminewb: because the bios is able to boot a device from reading the MBR, installing a partiiton manager installs it to the MBR | 05:03 |
| tracy69 | how are u <adonis> | 05:03 |
| greezmunkey | SubCool: the best thing you can do then is to try to start kde, and then check your logs. Maybe you'll get lucky and find what the system is missing. You can backtrack it from there. | 05:03 |
| SubCool | im missing something stupid- which is sad because im looking at a lot of tutorials, and they all say the same thing | 05:03 |
| nocturnus | so instead of seeing "grub2" in mbr, it will see "partition begins at space 123" | 05:03 |
| heizmann | soreau so... it's time to go (continue my encoding with x264 ^^)... and test your script | 05:04 |
| adonis | im good thanks how are you | 05:04 |
| Tempus_Fugit | does anyone know how to update the AV Engine in clamtk antivirus | 05:04 |
| SubCool | good idea- where is that log? /var/log .... | 05:04 |
| SubCool | ??? | 05:04 |
| adminewb | nocturnus ok | 05:04 |
| tracy69 | tired a bit <adonis> | 05:04 |
| adonis | im new to ubuntu this is first time i logged onto IRC thru it :D | 05:04 |
| Proxhotdog | congraz | 05:05 |
| adminewb | nocturnus so you have no choice at boot time which kernel it loads for you | 05:05 |
| Tempus_Fugit | adonis: Once you go Ubuntu you wont go back to windows | 05:05 |
| SubCool | greezmunkey, IT WORKS!!! | 05:05 |
| greezmunkey | ok, good. What did you do? | 05:05 |
| SubCool | i didnt do anything!!! lol | 05:05 |
| heizmann | <Tempus_Fugit> does anyone know how to update the AV Engine in clamtk antivirus <=== download the clamav-freshclam, and launch it :) (please remove your firewall if you have one) | 05:05 |
| DistantStar | theyranos, I found the solution. It was completely stupid that I'm embarrassed to say. The stereo cable was connected though to my motherboard. :P | 05:05 |
| nocturnus | adminewb: yes ... but since there's only one it should work | 05:05 |
| greezmunkey | SubCool: you threatened to remove it... | 05:06 |
| SubCool | tried to reinstall a couple things, logged out- logged into gnome, logged out- logged into kde | 05:06 |
| adminewb | nocturnus fair enough | 05:06 |
| adonis | i hope so! Im actually running back tracker 4 atm.. but just waiting for the month to end so i can download ubuntu! | 05:06 |
| theyranos | DistantStar: If you think that's stupid, then we're all morons. Glad you figured it out :-) | 05:06 |
| SubCool | WOOHOOO | 05:06 |
| Tempus_Fugit | heizmann: why do i need to remove my firewall?? | 05:06 |
| adminewb | nocturnus the burden in that case for making a bootable device is with the tool you used partitioning it, to lay down a workable MBR for linux | 05:06 |
| mitermayer | teste | 05:07 |
| SubCool | greezmunkey, THANKS!!!! | 05:07 |
| greezmunkey | SubCool: bookmark this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=601848 | 05:07 |
| adminewb | nocturnus and sounds as if you believe that grub legacy was not a factor there either? | 05:07 |
| heizmann | Tempus_Fugit :) to open several ports I suppose... I'm not sure that it is useful | 05:07 |
| Tempus_Fugit | heizmann: why are you having a hard time hacking me??? | 05:08 |
| greezmunkey | SubCool: this also: http://forum.soft32.com/linux/Novell-Enterprise-Desktop-blank-screen-KDE-update-ftopict434395.html | 05:08 |
| heizmann | Tempus_Fugit ><"!!! | 05:08 |
| SubCool | close-but not it. | 05:08 |
| meh3 | hey guys, does a repo DVD exist? | 05:08 |
| greezmunkey | SubCool: I know - the first one is for future reference... | 05:08 |
| meh3 | if i was away and had no access to interent for example | 05:08 |
| SubCool | thanks!! | 05:09 |
| meh3 | and wanted to install something off the default repos | 05:09 |
| Tempus_Fugit | heizmann: well sorry for your troubles but i believe that is the purpose of a firewall is it not?? | 05:09 |
| adonis | where is the best place to learn all of the commands to run ubuntu?? is there a site with shell commands? | 05:09 |
| th0r | adonis: check the documents available in synaptic, I think there is a bash reference | 05:10 |
| heizmann | Tempus_Fugit Sure, but I do not intend to hack you ... | 05:10 |
| adonis | synaptic? | 05:10 |
| th0r | adonis: in the System menu....the software repositories software | 05:11 |
| greezmunkey | SubCool: Additionally check out .xsession-errors in your home directory... | 05:11 |
| th0r | !synaptic | 05:11 |
| ubottu | synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 05:11 |
| adonis | thanks :D | 05:12 |
| Geoffrey2 | is there a website for setting ubuntu up to run on a PowerPC? | 05:13 |
| Geoffrey2 | I tried google, but a lot of the results are several years old... | 05:14 |
| greezmunkey | laterz... | 05:14 |
| adminewb | nocturnus, not meaning to waste your time or anything, but what I see of the unetbootin package description, it hardly sounds like the standard way of installing lucid | 05:15 |
| pfifo | Geoffrey2, im not entirely sure that ubuntu is built for ppc, i think its i386 and amd64 only | 05:16 |
| nocturnus | adminewb: no it's the way to install usb sticks | 05:16 |
| adonis | i downloaded ubuntu 10.04 and booted it off USB but it ran so so so slow i couldnt even move the mouse properly! should i d/l a diff version? | 05:16 |
| adminewb | nocturnus, actually for that you can use Startup Disk Creator utility | 05:16 |
| nocturnus | adminewb: in windows? | 05:16 |
| adminewb | nocturnus in Ubuntu, the System / Admin menu | 05:17 |
| adminewb | in gnome that is | 05:17 |
| nocturnus | adminewb: im in windows, why are yout elling me about ubuntu | 05:17 |
| nocturnus | are you even trying? | 05:17 |
| KE1HA | Geoffrey2: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/powerpc/pr01.html | 05:17 |
| Tempus_Fugit | man we are getting a hella storm here in MO | 05:17 |
| adminewb | ok, just thought you were starting from a LiveCD basis or something | 05:17 |
| Tempus_Fugit | brb | 05:17 |
| nocturnus | adminewb: no man, i told you im in windows and i told you im using the equivalent of fdisk in windows | 05:18 |
| m1ck3y | nocturnus: what are you trying to do? | 05:20 |
| Coronade | ahhh, no one here but me... | 05:20 |
| Coronade | oh there you all are | 05:20 |
| m1ck3y | lol | 05:20 |
| nocturnus | m1ck3y: what do you mean? You've been here at least 15 minutes so which part are you confused about? | 05:21 |
| th0r | yeah...that attitude will get him lots of help | 05:21 |
| m1ck3y | The part where you specified what problem it was you were having. Check the logs, I seem to have just missed it. | 05:21 |
| m1ck3y | th0r: lol | 05:21 |
| S4ry | To burn Ubuntu iso , try Infra Recorder , ISO Recorder. or in Windows 7 just Right-click the iso and burn disc image' | 05:22 |
| sticky_ | heh | 05:22 |
| m1ck3y | Infra works well for me, and if that's the problem you were having, you should have check the useful "How do I make a live cd" part of ubuntu's website. | 05:22 |
| sticky_ | imgburn is the only way to go on windows | 05:22 |
| nabcore | I'm ssh'ed into a live booted 10.04.1 machine. I want to reboot it remotely with out it waiting to hit enter after ejecting the cd... any ideas on how to do this? | 05:22 |
| S4ry | To burn the iso to a USB flash stick .. Download the Universal USB Installer | 05:23 |
| S4ry | Yeah , imgburn as well | 05:23 |
| m1ck3y | And do a system check, I bat about 40% with usb sticks.. :( | 05:23 |
| nocturnus | th0r: are you useful? | 05:23 |
| m1ck3y | haha | 05:24 |
| adminewb | more useful than I of course :) | 05:24 |
| S4ry | burning to a CD , make sure the speed is set to 2-4x | 05:24 |
| m1ck3y | th0r: It's a test, he won't re-ask the question, and you have 30 seconds to get it right. | 05:24 |
| stunts513 | ilovefairuz: hey you still here | 05:24 |
| daniel__ | d | 05:25 |
| stunts513 | anyone know what to do when u are configuring you display with xrandr and you get an error saying "error configruing crtc0" | 05:26 |
| adminewb | nocturnus, you may have better luck if you use a utility to mount your ISO image as a virtual optical drive | 05:26 |
| nocturnus | adminewb: that will not write the MBR, which is in fact the problem | 05:26 |
| nocturnus | i can see the files being placed correctly on the drive | 05:26 |
| adminewb | ok scratch that | 05:26 |
| === th0r is now known as Guest31597 | ||
| adminewb | nocturnus so can you describe how unetbootin acquires control in your scenario? | 05:28 |

| Tanvir | hello, i am having problem with my pc.. the os is ubuntu and the pc is restarting after mouse and keyboard get freezed.. | 05:30 |
| Tanvir | is it a problem of some virus? | 05:30 |
| nocturnus | adminewb: i specify which drive letter, and it does the rest | 05:30 |
| nocturnus | adminewb: i then reboot and expect to see ubuntu load screen but then i contemplate existance of my laptop and me | 05:31 |
| Coronade | one time | 05:31 |
| Coronade | in the 90's | 05:31 |
| Coronade | i had this virus, and it did nothing but show me porn. | 05:31 |
| Coronade | :D | 05:31 |
| adminewb | nocturnus presumably it's a conventional windows install, it handles your partitioning as part of its lucid install process... ? | 05:32 |
| m1ck3y | Coronade: Being 15 is not a virus :P | 05:32 |
| nocturnus | adminewb: no - but it can install succesfulyl without partitoning | 05:32 |
| Coronade | lies! fascism! | 05:33 |
| Coronade | oh well, i'm still downloading my "authentic" ubuntu.. | 05:33 |
| Coronade | i'll keep you posted | 05:33 |
| Coronade | g'night | 05:33 |
| Geoffrey2 | KE1HA, thanks for the info! | 05:33 |
| adminewb | nocturnus does your installer tell you when it's putting the grub legacy or other bootstrap on? | 05:34 |
| pfifo | Tanvir, yes you definatly have a virus | 05:34 |
| Tanvir | pfifo, how can I solve this problem? | 05:34 |
| infid | why does ubuntu.com say the 64-bit version of ubuntu is 'Not recommended for daily desktop usage' | 05:35 |
| infid | i've used it on my desktop for a year | 05:36 |
| adminewb | infid, that seems to be a source of much contention | 05:36 |
| Coronade | because with C and C++ developers get to mess with the size and location of memory. | 05:36 |
| Coronade | so when 64 bit comes along, oh .. the processor's word size is now 64 bits... | 05:36 |
| AlbertoP | infid: actually that's not the reason :) | 05:37 |
| Coronade | let's just port everything to 64 bit (including the assembly) and hope it just works absolutely fine :) ? | 05:37 |
| nocturnus | adminewb: no | 05:37 |
| Coronade | lol | 05:37 |
| IdleOne | !ot | Coronade | 05:37 |
| ubottu | Coronade: #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! | 05:37 |
| Coronade | ok ok | 05:37 |
| Coronade | g'night | 05:37 |
| AlbertoP | infid: basically because flash and some other plugins are not available out of the box and ubuntu does not provide an automated solution for it :) | 05:37 |
| infid | AlbertoP: so it doesnt mean that even 64-bit users should download the 32-bit version? | 05:38 |
| Coronade | flash is kind of important | 05:38 |
| pfifo | flash works fine in amd64 tho | 05:38 |
| AlbertoP | infid: well, if you want a complete, out of the box, experience sort of yes | 05:38 |
| Coronade | ok i get it, g'night sry. no more i promise but somsone (the open source community) should pwn flash entirely. | 05:38 |
| Coronade | g'night | 05:38 |
| noisewaterphd | i've got a working 64bit flash so if anyone needs it | 05:38 |
| AlbertoP | infid: or you get the 64 bit and work a bit on it | 05:38 |
| infid | pfifo: i dont know about 'fine' but it works :P | 05:38 |
| infid | Coronade: html5 | 05:39 |
| AlbertoP | pfifo: yes I just meant there is no immediate way to get it ;-) | 05:39 |
| AlbertoP | infid: not sure about acroread, skype... | 05:39 |
| * AlbertoP is new to ubuntu too | 05:39 | |
| pfifo | AlbertoP, what do you mean? you just download it and pop it in you plugin directory | 05:40 |
| adminewb | nocturnus, sorry just not familiar with the unetbootin animal; could you mount it and try running wubi.exe instead? | 05:40 |
| Tanvir | pfifo, do you know how can I remove this virus? | 05:40 |
| AlbertoP | pfifo: nope, you need a plugin wrapper, since it is built at 32 bit :) | 05:40 |
| pfifo | Tanvir, you dont have a virus, ubuntu will never get a virus. | 05:40 |
| AlbertoP | pfifo: I mean in apt however | 05:40 |
| zkriesse | pfifo: don't say that | 05:40 |
| noisewaterphd | I've got a pure 64 bit flash binary working great | 05:40 |
| pfifo | let me rephrase | 05:41 |
| Tanvir | pfifo, then what it is? | 05:41 |
| pfifo | Tanvir, you dont have a virus, ubuntu will never get a virus, unless I make a virus for ubuntu | 05:41 |
| zkriesse | pfifo: There is the remote possibility..but that exists on ANY operating system as nothing is ever truly secure 100% | 05:41 |
| seidos | Tanvir, did you download software other than from the repositories? | 05:41 |
| noisewaterphd | Tanvir: what is your issue | 05:41 |
| AlbertoP | hehe well pfifo that's optimistic ;-) | 05:41 |
| m1ck3y | Tanvir: Did you just install ubuntu? It's possible something went wrong during install | 05:41 |
| Tanvir | seidos, yes. | 05:42 |
| montather | hi guys | 05:42 |
| nocturnus | adminewb: no, it doesnt work for live usb sticks | 05:42 |
| montather | how are you ? | 05:42 |
| noisewaterphd | oh restart after mouse and keyboard freeze | 05:42 |
| montather | is any body here ? | 05:42 |
| noisewaterphd | no, NOT a virus | 05:42 |
| Tanvir | noisewaterphd yes | 05:42 |
| pfifo | Tanvir, we need to know what version of ubuntu your running, and can you be a little more specific on what happens | 05:42 |
| montather | i want to chat with some one | 05:42 |
| seidos | Tanvir, what did you download? | 05:42 |
| IdleOne | !ot | montather | 05:42 |
| ubottu | montather: #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! | 05:42 |
| Tanvir | seidos, i can't remember.. | 05:42 |
| adminewb | nocturnus, so wubi will only install to a hard disk on ATA interface or the like? | 05:42 |
| montather | hi idle one | 05:42 |
| montather | how are you ? | 05:43 |
| nocturnus | adminewb: in fact wubi is just a WM | 05:43 |
| Tanvir | pfifo, its 10.04 | 05:43 |
| adminewb | ok | 05:43 |
| noisewaterphd | montather: this is a support channel, not a chat 4 fun channel. Go to the offtopic channel if you don't need technical help | 05:43 |
| seidos | whois Tanvir | 05:43 |
| seidos | O_o | 05:44 |
| montather | okay noisewaterphd | 05:44 |
| montather | sorry , bye | 05:44 |
| shawnboy | How do I remove latest multi-boot installation without removing grub2? | 05:44 |
| Zombie | Hello. | 05:45 |
| Zombie | I have a Dellbuntu laptop and I have a Display issue with TV output. | 05:46 |
| Tanvir | i was just restarted again.. damn | 05:46 |
| latagore | Thanks for all the help I've gotten today! Good day everyone! | 05:46 |
| ljsoftnet | Zombie: does your TV output display TV signal?' | 05:46 |
| pfifo | Tanvir, dose it give any messages? at what point in the boot process dose it reboot? | 05:46 |
| noisewaterphd | Zombie: detail your problem a bit | 05:46 |
| xp_prg | does ubuntu work well as a live cd? | 05:46 |
| Tanvir | what kind of message pfifo ? | 05:46 |
| Zombie | Yes. I have extremely jittery video when playing videos in full screen. | 05:47 |
| S4ry | xp_prg, of course | 05:47 |
| Zombie | Its almost like the sync rate is wrong. | 05:47 |
| seidos | Tanvir, perhaps you should backup your data and reinstall ubuntu 10.04 if you believe you have been infected or hijacked? | 05:47 |
| ljsoftnet | Zombie: have u tried setting up Contrast? | 05:47 |
| pfifo | Tanvir, what point in the boot process dose it reboot? | 05:47 |
| pfifo | Tanvir, can you login? | 05:47 |
| Zombie | I am running Lucid on an Intel i945. | 05:47 |
| coldboot|home | Is there a decent music player that's not a bloated piece of crap like Amarok? | 05:47 |
| noisewaterphd | Zombie: sounds like a driver issue, what is your video card, and what driver are you using | 05:47 |
| Tanvir | pfifo, yes I can. | 05:47 |
| brandon420 | coldboot|home, banshee | 05:48 |
| Zombie | Its the stock Intel Driver. | 05:48 |
| Tanvir | pfifo, and i am using it now | 05:48 |
| ljsoftnet | coldboot|home: have u tried VLC? | 05:48 |
| pfifo | Tanvir, so your mouse and keyboard work, they let you login, and then after you login what happens? | 05:48 |
| Zombie | Someone using an Nvidia card said he fixed it by setting XVideoSyncToDisplay = 0 | 05:48 |
| Zombie | But. | 05:48 |
| coldboot|home | ljsoftnet: Not for music, is it well designed for music, or does it merely play music? | 05:48 |
| noisewaterphd | Zombie: This happens with any video you try in fullscreen? | 05:49 |
| brandon420 | coldboot|home, banshee organizes everything really well, noting fancy, but has all the features that you would want, without using too many resources | 05:49 |
| === th0r1234 is now known as th0r | ||
| Zombie | Yes. | 05:49 |
| Tanvir | pfifo, i can work fine.. everything.. after few minutes the mouse and keyboard got freezed, don't moves.. everything on the screen freezed and then it starts restarting | 05:49 |
| tucemiux | branden792, does banshee automatically find your mp3s like a virus? | 05:49 |
| ljsoftnet | coldboot|home: it has a very simple interface, it plays a huge amount of list of video, audio files and disks | 05:49 |
| brandon420 | lol, no, but you can set it to scan folders. | 05:50 |
| Tanvir | seidos, that's my last choice :( | 05:50 |
| ljsoftnet | Zombie: but what? | 05:50 |
| noisewaterphd | coldboot|home: banshee is definitely slimmer than amarok, but still has nifty web integration. Rythmbox is great if you just want a straight up player | 05:50 |
| tucemiux | im installing banshee | 05:50 |
| noisewaterphd | I use banshee these days and like it fine | 05:50 |
| seidos | Tanvir, well, if you can't recall what you downloaded outside the repositories, how can you possibly verify you haven't been hijacked? did your system ever work? | 05:50 |
| tucemiux | rhythmbox is awesome except it now automatically finds your music which acts like a virus and I hate that | 05:50 |
| noisewaterphd | amarok can perform a lot better if you use the mysql backend too | 05:50 |
| brandon420 | thats all i use, im running a p4 with a gig of ram, and it does great, not to mention i have over 30gb of music | 05:50 |
| Lenin_Cat | can I change the frequency of my CPU? | 05:51 |
| Zombie | That solution was valid for Nvidia chips only. | 05:51 |
| noisewaterphd | tucemiux: you can turn that off in rythmbox though I think | 05:51 |
| Zombie | I use Intel chips. | 05:51 |
| ljsoftnet | Lenin_Cat: if your CPU supports changing CPU frequency, its possible | 05:51 |
| coldboot|home | noisewaterphd: I already have mpd for web integration, just want a player that's slim. | 05:51 |
| Lenin_Cat | LjL, intel atom? | 05:52 |
| Lenin_Cat | ljsoftnet* | 05:52 |
| pfifo | Tanvir, your problem is way too general to just solve, there are way to many things that could create this problem. THat leaves you with 2 choices, #1 reinstall ubuntu. #2 Go through your system and troubleshoot on your own and come back to us once you have a more (and highly detail) information regarding your problem | 05:52 |
| Tanvir | seidos, i downloaded skype only i think | 05:52 |
| noisewaterphd | Lenin_Cat: are you talking about changing your kernel timer frequency, or your actual cpu frequency? | 05:53 |
| ljsoftnet | Lenin_Cat: intel atom processors have a full ID, did u search for it? | 05:53 |
| matthewopersico | Hello. I have a laptop - AMD Sempron2800+ .755 GH and 640 RAM. Yeah it's old and XP takes forever to boot. Can I put Ubuntu on this with reasonable performance? Do I use Desktop or Netbook version. Thanks | 05:53 |
| shawnboy | I have an easy problem to solve. How do I remove latest installation without removing grub2? | 05:53 |
| ljsoftnet | Zombie: did you connect your TV cable to your laptop? | 05:53 |
| th0r | matthewopersico: you might consider xubuntu or lubuntu...better for old equipment | 05:54 |
| adminewb | nocturnus, if you get desperate enough, a poor solution may seem better than none, or trying BSD or something... care to entertain more on this? | 05:54 |
| xp_prg | can anyone recommend a good laptop that runs ubuntu, is a netbook good? | 05:54 |
| seidos | Tanvir, you think? well you have to know, not just think. reinstall if you suspect your system has been compromised. | 05:54 |
| noisewaterphd | matthewopersico: desktop version...but with your low ram, and I'm assuming shared memory integrated video, you should look into xubuntu instead | 05:54 |
| ljsoftnet | matthewopersico: i recommend the Netbook version, which meant for low powered devices | 05:55 |
| nocturnus | adminewb: what is that supposed to mean, entertain you? | 05:55 |
| avi_ | xp_prg, I've got to go like NOW, but check out system76.com | 05:55 |
| adminewb | nocturnus no | 05:55 |
| avi_ | xp_prg, Their new Starling is supposed to be great, and I've got their lemur ultrathin, which rocks. | 05:55 |
| Zombie | ljsoftnet: Yes. | 05:55 |
| deepu | wat is the major functions of kernal? | 05:55 |
| Zombie | It works when not in full screen. | 05:56 |
| ljsoftnet | xp_prg: i heard netbooks hardly play flash videos like youtube, is this true guys? | 05:56 |

| xp_prg | that is 100.00 more then a dell mini | 05:56 |
| noisewaterphd | xp_prg: I run ubuntu on my macbook pro, and it works awesome, literally all of the features are supported by ubuntu | 05:56 |
| ljsoftnet | Zombie: you can change the picture settings rigth, like Contrast, Brigthness??? | 05:56 |
| Lenin_Cat | ljsoftnet, No, but im pritty sure its alllowed | 05:56 |
| Lenin_Cat | noisewaterphd, actual cpu | 05:57 |
| matthewopersico | Thanks for suggestions. Netbook seems the way to go. | 05:57 |
| adminewb | nocturnus entertain me, as in consider what I say, even though it's not been so gratifying for you thus far, when others here may have better tech chops here but haven't tended to your issue? | 05:57 |
| Zombie | Its like the X.org driver de-syncs laptop normal out and S-video out. | 05:57 |
| Zombie | Its not that. | 05:57 |
| Zombie | Its frame skipping and jitter. | 05:58 |
| Tanvir | pfifo, it makes a sound before freeze (sound that makes when we insert a disk in ROM).. and yes I have a problem with my DVD ROM's SATA port. sometimes it said (in windows) its not pluged in.. is this information has any value? | 05:58 |
| noisewaterphd | matthewopersico: i would say it depends more on your personal needs for the machine. I can't stand netbooks, but the ubuntu netbook version is really cool | 05:58 |
| deepu | wat is the major functions of "kernal"? | 05:59 |
| Tanvir | pfifo, thats all info I got | 05:59 |
| noisewaterphd | deepu: kernel? | 05:59 |
| ljsoftnet | Lenin_Cat: i recommend you to search the intel website if, your intel atom processor supports changing CPU frequency | 05:59 |
| deepu | mmmmm.ya | 05:59 |
| Lenin_Cat | ljsoftnet, I figured it out, it works. :) | 05:59 |
| nocturnus | adminewb: just forget it dude | 05:59 |
| GHH | I am downloading ISO file with this command wget -c but sometime show this error:Read error at byte 1235873408/2015311872 (Connection timed out). Retrying. | 05:59 |
| nocturnus | i'm not into poetry | 05:59 |
| Lenin_Cat | But thanks anyway. | 05:59 |
| ljsoftnet | Zombie: what TV software are u using? | 05:59 |
| pfifo | Tanvir, yes, that very well could be it, what type of harddrive did you install to? | 05:59 |
| adminewb | nocturnus suit yourself | 05:59 |
| GHH | is it problem? | 06:00 |
| nocturnus | why would you even tell me that? | 06:00 |
| noisewaterphd | deepu: odd question, but use google, explaining what a linux kernel is and does isn't really the purpose of this channel | 06:00 |
| Tanvir | pfifo, SATA | 06:00 |
| pfifo | Tanvir, internal or external? | 06:00 |
| Tanvir | pfifo, internal | 06:00 |
| deepu | mm....ok | 06:00 |
| Tanvir | pfifo, i am telling this, because if it made the error then reinstall will not be a solution for it (i think) | 06:01 |
| GHH | hep me any one? | 06:02 |
| pfifo | Tanvir, if your harddrive is coming unplugged for one reason or another that will imadetally freeze your system. | 06:02 |
| === pbarros is now known as turt1e | ||
| coldboot|home | noisewaterphd: I'm impressed, Rhythmbox looks like it's not crap. | 06:02 |
| S4ry | GHH, help us to help you .. | 06:02 |
| noisewaterphd | deepu: if you are doing homework, make sure you spell kernel right eh? | 06:02 |
| noisewaterphd | coldboot|home: good deal | 06:02 |
| Tanvir | pfifo, how can I fix that or check that? | 06:03 |
| coldboot|home | noisewaterphd: Nevermind, it doesn't properly scan the folder I told it to, and it's got a ton of import errors on the first attempt. It also seems to not have a file system browser. | 06:03 |
| coldboot|home | Looks like crap. | 06:03 |
| ljsoftnet | GHH: have u tried downloading from a web browser? | 06:03 |
| coldboot|home | I loved XMMS, it was the best. | 06:04 |
| Tanvir | pfifo, in widows the warning was "SATA Driver not pluged in" then the dvd rom disappeared | 06:04 |
| noisewaterphd | Tanvir: open computer, check that your sata cables are all plugged in properly, and that the cables themselves aren't bad | 06:04 |
| noisewaterphd | matthewopersico: awesome | 06:04 |
| pfifo | Tanvir, replace cables, RMA your drive, the issue is hardware, nothing in software can fix that | 06:05 |
| Tanvir | pfifo, okay. what is RMA? | 06:05 |
| noisewaterphd | coldboot|home: are you running gnome? | 06:05 |
| S4ry | coldboot|home, you need to install some plugin's first for Rhythmbox | 06:06 |
| === _LibertyZero is now known as LibertyZero | ||
| pfifo | Tanvir, RMA means to send the drive back and get a replacement or your money back | 06:06 |
| noisewaterphd | coldboot|home: look into ario | 06:06 |
| noisewaterphd | coldboot|home: and goggles | 06:06 |
| th0r | coldboot|home: the old xmms is repackaged as audacious now | 06:06 |
| coldboot|home | noisewaterphd: Ario is a front-end to mpd. | 06:06 |
| noisewaterphd | coldboot|home: maybe those will behave better for you | 06:06 |
| Tanvir | pfifo, okay. thanks. | 06:07 |
| noisewaterphd | coldboot|home: ya | 06:07 |
| noisewaterphd | coldboot|home: is that a problem? | 06:07 |
| coldboot|home | I already have Ario, it's alright for an mpd front-end. But I want something local that has more features. | 06:07 |
| noisewaterphd | coldboot|home: see if you like goggles | 06:07 |
| coldboot|home | noisewaterphd: mpd front-ends tend to not have many features. | 06:08 |
| coldboot|home | noisewaterphd: Okay, thanks. | 06:08 |
| coldboot|home | noisewaterphd: Amarok has lots of features, but it seems to have been written by idiots, because it barely performs. | 06:08 |
| pfifo | i like amarok | 06:08 |
| S4ry | coldboot|home, how about Enna .. | 06:08 |
| coldboot|home | pfifo: It was better before Amarok 2 came out. Now it's a bloated POS. | 06:09 |
| noisewaterphd | coldboot|home: ya, amarok sucks in performance. But if you like it otherwise, it might be worth trying out the mysql backend for it, it does speed it up substantially | 06:10 |
| noisewaterphd | coldboot|home: and banshee is good if you haven't already tried it | 06:10 |
| coldboot|home | There shouldn't be any reason for it to need MySQL... | 06:10 |
| pfifo | the new version dose have too much stuff, but the basics are all i use | 06:10 |
| noisewaterphd | coldboot|home: i have never used goggles, but I have always wanted to, it looks cool. Might be just what you are after | 06:10 |
| noisewaterphd | coldboot|home: agreed | 06:11 |
| Meshezabeel | does gparted or any other partition manager come with the live cd? | 06:11 |
| coldboot|home | noisewaterphd: Where is goggles? It's not in the apt-cache at all. | 06:11 |
| noisewaterphd | http://code.google.com/p/gogglesmm/ | 06:12 |
| S4ry | How about .. Moovida Media Center .. | 06:12 |
| frobisher | Meshezabeel ,gparted is a live cd | 06:12 |
| coldboot|home | S4ry: Enna's way too slow, all those stupid transitions feels like using an iPod. Looks more like a TV interface, with no option to fullscreen. | 06:13 |
| coldboot|home | Holy shit almost every music player for Linux is a complete piece of crap. | 06:14 |
| hart | lol | 06:14 |

| meh3 | hey guys, can someone help me with ubuntu server network problem? it gives me "Host desitination unreachable" when i try to ping my router or any device on the network | 06:14 |
| meh3 | any suggestions? | 06:14 |
| coldboot|home | There's like 400 morons out there each trying to make their own, and eventually it gets bloated. | 06:14 |
| sticky_ | coldboot|home, Have you tried audaicous? | 06:14 |
| coldboot|home | They all have showstopper bugs in them that you can find in two seconds. | 06:14 |
| sticky_ | or however it's spelled | 06:14 |
| coldboot|home | sticky_: Yeah, when you click+drag move the Audacious window around, it's extremely laggy. Disqualified. | 06:15 |
| hart | where in the world am i? | 06:15 |
| noisewaterphd | meh3: did you plug it in to the network and configure it properly? | 06:15 |
| coldboot|home | The original XMMS was much better, but clearly some idiot messed it up. | 06:15 |
| sticky_ | How about Songbird? | 06:15 |
| hart | i downloaded Xchat but GNOME version | 06:15 |
| coldboot|home | sticky_: I think I tried that a while ago, I remember it not being total crap. | 06:15 |
| noisewaterphd | songbird had so much potential, but it sucks | 06:15 |
| hart | is songbird ok for apple devices? | 06:15 |
| meh3 | noisewaterphd, it is plugged in yes, and i think its configured properly | 06:15 |
| noisewaterphd | meh3: is it plugged into the ethernet port that you configured? | 06:16 |
| coldboot|home | sticky_: Songbird's website doesn't seem to have a Linux version. | 06:16 |
| sticky_ | They must have done away with it =( | 06:16 |
| noisewaterphd | songbird is worse than amarok | 06:16 |
| coldboot|home | Yeah they dropped Linux support. | 06:16 |
| sticky_ | It used to support the big 3, linux, windows, osx | 06:16 |
| noisewaterphd | or was, apparently | 06:16 |
| === may is now known as Guest25070 | ||
| Guest25070 | hi there. I am trying to chroot into my system thats not booting via live cd. However update-grub isn't available...any help? | 06:17 |
| meh3 | noisewaterphd, yes, it is plugged in.. i forgot to mention that this is a virtual machine | 06:18 |
| noisewaterphd | meh3: is your router configured to allow pings | 06:18 |
| noisewaterphd | meh3: so can the host OS ping the router? | 06:18 |
| meh3 | noisewaterphd, yes, the hostos can ping the router and get online fine, i cant ping the guest os from the hostos | 06:19 |
| meh3 | the router allows pings locally, yes | 06:19 |
| noisewaterphd | meh3: what virtualization technology are you using | 06:19 |
| meh3 | noisewaterphd, vmware | 06:19 |
| coldboot|home | sticky_: They dropped support a while ago, probably because barely anyone uses Linux. | 06:19 |
| noisewaterphd | meh3: did you choose nat/bridged/etc...which one | 06:19 |
| meh3 | noisewaterphd, Bridged | 06:19 |
| ChaoRhi | Hi. I'm trying to route my Wifi on my Lucid box so that my connection goes in one Wireless adapter and out the other. I found some community documentation online but it's about as clear as mud. Help? | 06:19 |
| noisewaterphd | assuming this is a server that you want to access from the outside world that may not work out great | 06:20 |
| meh3 | noisewaterphd, im using this localy | 06:20 |
| meh3 | and for my local network only | 06:20 |
| noisewaterphd | meh3: you have oficially entered the realm where this is more of a vmware issue | 06:21 |
| meh3 | so it should atleast b accessed by the hostos | 06:21 |
| meh3 | noisewaterphd, actually they said its an ubuntu issue | 06:21 |
| noisewaterphd | meh3: been a long time since i used vmware | 06:22 |
| meh3 | noisewaterphd, ifconfig shows eth0 is up and it has its ips correct | 06:22 |
| noisewaterphd | meh3: but try hostonly, and nat methods | 06:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | sticky_, coldboot|home <OT> i miss songbird </OT> | 06:23 |
| noisewaterphd | meh3: as long as you have it configured correctly it will work fine | 06:23 |
| coldboot|home | How do you get Banshee to read the file system? | 06:23 |
| mxe5 | What's the easiest way to change the boot sequence on a 10.04 Lucid & Windows on the the other partition - Booting to Lucid 1st - Want to have Window as 1st boot ? ? | 06:23 |
| thune3 | Guest25070: could you explain a bit more. not available? | 06:24 |
| noisewaterphd | meh3: and if it is indeed configured correctly, then it is a hardware issue...in your case the hardware is vmware, which is why i say it is a vmware issue | 06:24 |
| TiK | mxe5: edit /etc/default/grub and run pdae-gru | 06:24 |
| pfifo | mxe5, edit grub.cfg so it reads 'default="4"' inb4 everyone jumps down my throat | 06:24 |
| TiK | mxe5: edit /etc/default/grub and run update-grub | 06:24 |
| meh3 | noisewaterphd, hmm is it possible that vmware nic drivers require an update? | 06:25 |
| meh3 | or the wrong ones installed | 06:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | mxe5, edit /etc/default/grub (as stated above) and change GRUB_DEFAULT=0 to your windows | 06:25 |
| meh3 | because i know for a fact that ubuntu 10.04 server works fine with vmware including the network | 06:25 |
| TiK | meh3: I use virtualbox i's faster :P | 06:25 |
| noisewaterphd | meh3: assuming that you just barely installed vmware tools in your ubuntu vm, then they should be the latest on that side | 06:26 |
| turt1e | mxe5: or just install startup manager and set windows as default | 06:26 |
| noisewaterphd | meh3: as far as vmware itself needing an update, I have no idea | 06:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | meh3, VB is much faster - it's why VMware doesn't allow benchmarks to be posted | 06:26 |
| thune3 | mxe5: many options, i recommend renaming /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober to /etc/grub.d/09_os-prober | 06:26 |
| Guest25070 | thune3, well I rebooted last night and got a "kernel panic not syncing vfs" error. So I assumed that there is something wrong with that kernel and wanted to boot using another kernel. The thing is that grub2 is skipping because timeout is set at 0 by default. So I wanted to chroot into my system so I can change /etc/default/grub and run update-grub | 06:26 |
| noisewaterphd | ZykoticK9: and XEN is even faster than that | 06:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | noisewaterphd, i image kvm is as well | 06:27 |
| Izinucs | Guest25070: either shift or esc on boot will give you the boot menu.. | 06:27 |
| mxe5 | turtle: tried that but did not work for some reason - This is actually running the Netbook version of Lucid. | 06:27 |
| Izinucs | forgot which | 06:27 |
| thune3 | Guest25070: you can hold down shift during boot to get grub2 menu, and maybe try older kernel | 06:27 |
| Guest25070 | thune3, didn't know that just a sec lemme try | 06:28 |
| noisewaterphd | ZykoticK9: in aserver environment under moderate load I've never really seen a difference between recent vmware offerings and vbox | 06:28 |
| ljsoftnet | how do i add shutdown in Main Menu? | 06:28 |
| === apstanto_ is now known as astanton | ||
| noisewaterphd | ZykoticK9: that being said, i don't personally use either of them in a server environment | 06:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | noisewaterphd, it's an OT issue really. but VMware doesn't allow benchmarks for a reason! | 06:28 |
| Madpilot | ljsoftnet, kill the power-symbol applet in the top right corner, and the shutdown/logout/etc stuff re-appears in the System menu like it used to | 06:29 |
| === ZNC_DoubleString is now known as DoubleString | ||
| ljsoftnet | Madpilot: thanks man, gonna rigth it down, so that i wont forget | 06:29 |

| mxe5 | ZykoticK9: Ah I'm running the netbook version of Lucid 10.04 - the file mgr is fairly simple - not sure how to get to folder you mentioned as root etc. ? | 06:32 |
| pfifo | why dosent ubuntu have a full featured mingw32 cross compiler like back in the day? | 06:32 |
| Zombie | Anyone else willing to help me with my Intel Graphics card issue? | 06:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | mxe5, "gksu gedit /etc/default/grub" should give you a gui editor as root | 06:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | pfifo, as that is not a support question you really should ask in #ubuntu-offtopic and yes i know, there are a lot fewer people :( | 06:34 |
| thune3 | Guest25070: i stepped away, glad you figured out to press shift after bios checks keyboard | 06:35 |
| S4ry | Zombie, | 06:38 |

| mxe5 | ZykoticK9: This my current configuration < GRUB_DEFAULT=6 > Just change to < GRUB_DEFAULT=0 > and be good to go ? ? | 06:44 |
| thune3 | Karen_m: headphones were working? did any system changes happen before headphones stopped working? | 06:44 |
| === _dinya__ is now known as dinya_ | ||
| ZykoticK9 | mxe5, you need the number that corresponds to windows - 0 is the first partition for example, 1 is second, etc. etc. | 06:45 |
| Karen_m | thune3, , the only change I did was installed festival beforehand. I had rebooted, I wanted to try text-to-speech | 06:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | mxe5, if you want to pastebin your output of "sudo fdisk -l" or if you can figure out which partition it is from that output. | 06:46 |
| S4ry | Karen_m, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting | 06:47 |
| mxe5 | ZykoticK9: Ah - Yes my 1st and main partition was loaded with Windows - After installed then resized - and installed netbook 10.04 on 2cnd partition. | 06:47 |
| thune3 | Karen_m: is anything other commands listed in the right column of "sudo fuser -v /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/* /dev/seq*" | 06:47 |
| Karen_m | thune3, no :( | 06:48 |
| Karen_m | S4ry, i did all that already | 06:48 |
| thune3 | Karen_m: is anything other than "pulseaudio" listed in the output | 06:48 |
| Karen_m | there is no output | 06:48 |
| S4ry | Karen_m, O' okay. | 06:48 |
| ZykoticK9 | Karen_m, <just a test, not a solution & assumes 10.04> if it was due to a kernel update, hold shift while computer starts to get the Grub2 menu, then select an older kernel to see if your sound works. Good luck. | 06:50 |
| Karen_m | does the headphones port auto-sense? | 06:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | Karen_m, depends on the hardware | 06:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | Karen_m, see if you have a headphone/front level in pulse that might be turned down or muted | 06:51 |
| Karen_m | i don't | 06:52 |
| mxe5 | ZykoticK9: What's the site for pastebin - Do not have bookmark handy ? | 06:52 |
| thune3 | Karen_m: the fuser command has no output? so pulseaudio isn't running or the snd device doesn't exit. Did you do anything to sound system to get festival running? | 06:52 |
| ZykoticK9 | !paste | mxe5 | 06:52 |

| ZykoticK9 | mxe5, have you tried 0 - that's the most likely i think. I'm really not good with Windows interoperability issues by the way. | 06:53 |
| Karen_m | i'm going to reboot and see if this fixes it | 06:54 |
| Karen_m | ZykoticK9, I edited a /etc/festival.scm file that some documentation said.. i removed festival and am goign to reboot to see if that resolves it | 06:55 |

| bnixy7 | I have setup my latest ubuntu version and setup my network for my home. When I transfer a file from XP to Ubuntu (documents folder), it has a lock which opens into read only. How can I fix this? i am new so explain exactly. | 06:56 |
| jlw | Does anyone have any ideas as to why audio would be coming out of both the front audio jack and the rear audio jack simultaneously? | 06:56 |
| mxe5 | ZykoticK9: < http://paste.ubuntu.com/486608/ > Looks like I would need to change to " 1 " - correct ? | 06:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | mxe5, you got it, 1! | 06:57 |
| pLr | jlw, there is a volume control for each one | 06:57 |
| Karen_m | why o' why does a reboot sometimes end up taking you to be logged out and at the login window. Then you click the button in the bottom right to restart or shutdown, and nothing happens? | 06:58 |
| jlw | pLr, in sound preferences? | 06:58 |
| pLr | jlw, yes but it could vary depending on your sound setup | 06:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | Karen_m, are you using ubuntu or xubuntu? i've only personally experienced that with mythbuntu. | 06:59 |
| jlw | I've been playing with it for a while and can't seem to find the right setting. | 06:59 |
| noisewaterphd | jlw: type alsamixer from the cli | 06:59 |
| pLr | jlw, you have a default install? | 06:59 |
| Karen_m | I'm using ubuntu | 06:59 |
| noisewaterphd | jlw: you should be able to turn off the reaer if you need | 06:59 |
| jlw | plr, yes | 06:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | Karen_m, sorry, i have no idea - but it's a bug really | 07:00 |
| ZykoticK9 | ^guess it worked the second time (i don't see join/parts) | 07:01 |
| mxe5 | ZykoticK9: Cool this stuff a bit more of a challenge trying to do this stuff in a smaller real estate of a 10" netbook and trying to learn how to use this other Netbook version of 10.04 lucid - I'd personally rather have lucid start 1st but have to use windows more for one of my business apps - thanks a bunch! | 07:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | mxe5, glad to help. enjoy ubuntu. | 07:02 |
| Black_Phantom | My ubuntu sometimes freezes and the window goes gray, that especially happens when youtube is on, even though am on good hardware specs. | 07:02 |
| pfifo | dose the LiveCD (10.04.1) search for any extra partions to mount under its aufs during bootup (ie, can i get it to save changes to my harddrive instead of memory) | 07:02 |
| Black_Phantom | What could be the root of the problem ? | 07:03 |
| Zombie | ubuntu-motu | 07:03 |
| turt1e | Black_Phantom, most likey it's the flash plugin, which one are you using, gnash or adobe's | 07:04 |
| Black_Phantom | Adobe | 07:04 |
| Black_Phantom | and everything is updated | 07:04 |
| Black_Phantom | and am not that heavy user to blame myself | 07:04 |
| Black_Phantom | Am using Google chrome btw | 07:04 |
| Zombie | Its almost like the sync rate is wrong. | 07:05 |
| pfifo | Black_Phantom, and this also happens when your not running a browser/flash? | 07:05 |
| Black_Phantom | very rarely, I can blame the heavy multi-task at that time | 07:05 |

| mxe5 | ZykoticK9: Is there a way to save this session of Xchat for future reference of some of the shell commands I used ? | 07:07 |

| bnixy7 | I have setup my latest ubuntu version and setup my network for my home. When I transfer a file from XP to Ubuntu (documents folder), it has a lock which opens into read only. How can I fix this? i am new at this also. Maybe I do not have full permissions. | 07:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | mxe5, i know that all #ubuntu logs exist online - if you search for your nic and/or date, otherwise i imagine your client would have to be setup to be logging already. | 07:08 |
| Black_Phantom | pfifo, sometimes the system freezes and the mouse stops moving for like 6 sec, sometimes goes gray and comes back fast, sometimes freez the tab and I should close the page. It happens mostly on youtube. | 07:08 |
| pfifo | Black_Phantom, can you reproduce this problem at will? | 07:09 |
| Black_Phantom | Is like flash still facing nightmares with linux ? | 07:09 |
| pfifo | always | 07:09 |
| Black_Phantom | pfifo, no it just happens | 07:10 |
| Black_Phantom | sometimes I can even load a 720p without no troubles | 07:10 |
| turt1e | Black_Phantom, try installing htop and have it running before you go to youtube. then see what happens when you go youtube | 07:10 |
| Black_Phantom | sometimes even a 360p freezes | 07:10 |
| pfifo | Black_Phantom, im thinking it might be ACPI or your screensaver | 07:10 |

| v4vijayakumar | any idea ?! | 07:11 |
| mxe5 | ZykoticK9: I just figured out a way - If you click on "Window" on top toolbar it drops open and there's a "save text..." command - Saved it as text file I can edit later. | 07:11 |

| Black_Phantom | 31% CPU usage for Google Chrome | 07:13 |
| Black_Phantom | 8.8% Mem usage | 07:13 |
| Black_Phantom | 2 GB ram | 07:14 |
| turt1e | Black_Phantom, now this won't fix the problem. but you may be able to zero in on what process is spiking when it freezes | 07:14 |
| mxe5 | ZykoticK9: I went back and forth on trying to decide to run the Netbook version or the regular Gnome desktop version I'm running on one of my desktops - have you ran the regular desktop version on a smaller 10" or so screen before ? | 07:14 |
| Black_Phantom | I leave my laptop on for days | 07:14 |
| Black_Phantom | Does that affect the problem ? | 07:14 |
| Black_Phantom | But I think its linux :/ | 07:14 |
| pfifo | Black_Phantom, ohh its a laptop, that makes it even more likely that its ACPI | 07:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | mxe5, i chose to run regular desktop on my EEE1005pe with a 10" screen (i used to really like UNR, but am not a fan of UNE the 10.04 version) | 07:15 |
| Black_Phantom | pfifo, I see, if it was the ACPI, how can I fix it ? | 07:15 |
| pfifo | Black_Phantom, dose this happen more ofern when your running on battery or AC | 07:15 |
| turt1e | bnixy7, the files probably just got copied over as read only, do you just want to know how to change the permissions on them? | 07:15 |
| Black_Phantom | pfifo, I always run on AC | 07:15 |
| bnixy7 | turtle, they are regular files on windows, not read only. They are basic word documents. | 07:16 |

| Black_Phantom | then ? | 07:17 |
| sambamount | anyone know where the default mountpoint is in ubuntu 10.04 for samba shares (like the mounted folders in the Places menu)? | 07:17 |
| mxe5 | ZykoticK9: Yup - Water under bridge as of now - might wipe this partition and try the newer 10.10 gnome desktop when it's final. | 07:17 |

| Black_Phantom | everything is never except Blank screen when laptop lid is closed | 07:18 |

| DragonZulu | Is Wubi a fair way to see how the OS would behave with hardware? | 07:20 |
| DragonZulu | Without messing with partitions | 07:20 |
| pfifo | Black_Phantom, first type 'lsmod' into your terminal, find the name of the acpi module and add it to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | 07:21 |
| Black_Phantom | pfifo, my cpu is 1.73 ghz intel core duo, and I can Google chrome already using 31% with 15 tabs open | 07:22 |
| Black_Phantom | see* | 07:22 |
| sambamount | DragonZulu: both Wubi and LiveCD should test the hardware, though the speed is said to be slower using both than an actual install (especially with ext4) | 07:22 |
| DragonZulu | sambamount: But it should give a general idea? | 07:22 |
| turt1e | bnixy7, yeah... how exactly where these files transfered? | 07:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | DragonZulu, using the LiveCD is probably a "better" test actually | 07:22 |
| pfifo | Black_Phantom, I dont think heavy CPU usage or low memory would cause your screen to go grey | 07:22 |
| sambamount | DragonZulu: it will give hardware compatibility, but not benchtesting speeds of things, such as graphics cards, etc. | 07:23 |
| Black_Phantom | window* | 07:23 |
| pfifo | Black_Phantom, my crappy eeepc dosent do that atleast | 07:23 |
| DragonZulu | sambamount: So I couldn't really get a good idea if my games would run under wine worth anything in Wubi ? | 07:23 |
| Black_Phantom | pfifo, fair enough lol | 07:23 |
| Black_Phantom | pfifo, i cant figure out which one it is there are many *stuff* | 07:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | DragonZulu, check the winedb, much faster | 07:23 |
| sambamount | DragonZulu: you could see if they run, but not their speeds of running from an actualy install | 07:23 |
| bnixy7 | turtle, I have a netbook, I use these documents daily for general purposes... i setup samba, shared the documents folder on ubuntu, got on my netbook, opened the shared folder on my xp machine, and drag/drop the document onto ubuntu. opened it on ubuntu and says read only | 07:24 |
| pfifo | Black_Phantom, try 'lsmod | grep acpi' | 07:24 |
| sambamount | anyone know where the default mountpoint is in ubuntu 10.04 for samba shares (like the mounted folders in the Places menu)? | 07:24 |
| thune3 | Black_Phantom, low memory could cause the issue, i'm running of a flash drive and i/o stalls do cause application to become unresponsive (grey/dim) while waiting for io | 07:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | sambamount, check ~/.gvfs | 07:25 |
| Black_Phantom | pfifo, no results | 07:25 |
| pfifo | Black_Phantom, dose the application turn grey/dim or is it your whole monitor that does it? | 07:25 |

| _mrn_ver_ | i installed "wine" 2 days backto use offline oxford dictionary .the system has got too slow.what to do? | 07:25 |

| sambamount | Zykotick9: thanks, thats the location, wish it would also mirror a symlink in /media | 07:25 |
| Black_Phantom | and sometimes other applications get unresponsive too and sometimes only the greyed one | 07:25 |
| pfifo | Black_Phantom, ok in that case, it has nothing todo with ACPI, its just cause your computer is slow | 07:26 |
| Black_Phantom | Perhaps the 1.73 ghz ? | 07:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | DragonZulu, i tried crysis and failed, never tried unreal 3 | 07:26 |
| DragonZulu | ZykoticK9: what about Half-Life to HL2:EP2 ? | 07:26 |

| _mrn_ver_ | i installed "wine" 2 days backto use offline oxford dictionary .the system has got too slow.what to do? | 07:27 |
| turt1e | bnixy7, Ahh.. that's probably why they have been set to nobody. Did the permissions tab allow you to change the file to read/write? If not you will have to make the change as root | 07:27 |
| pfifo | Black_Phantom, if you know how, try compiling your browser by hand with optimizations and tailored to your CPU, I did that on my mom's machine and she gets better respons time | 07:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | DragonZulu, i haven't tried either - more into native games really my page at http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/gaming | 07:27 |
| Black_Phantom | pfifo, normal compiling, or I should so some customized stuff ? | 07:28 |
| DragonZulu | ZykoticK9: Source doesn't have a native linux client (yet) | 07:28 |
| Black_Phantom | do* | 07:28 |
| DragonZulu | ZykoticK9: Steam* | 07:28 |
| bnixy7 | turtle, it will not let me change the permissions of the document. How do I set up my user as root so these problems do not occur? | 07:28 |
| thune3 | Black_Phantom: i guess I'm saying that the most likely candidate for the cause is i/o stall/wait. This can happen for several reasons. | 07:28 |
| DragonZulu | ZykoticK9: Q4 I have the disk for. UT04 comes on steam. | 07:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | DragonZulu, it's not coming :( rumors where recently denied by a VP or something :( </ot> | 07:28 |
| DragonZulu | ZykoticK9: I have the Q3 disks too | 07:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | DragonZulu, steam i mean | 07:29 |
| DragonZulu | ZykoticK9: Maybe it was "Too hard and needed to be scrapped" | 07:29 |
| Black_Phantom | You think its the CPU or the graphics memory ? | 07:29 |
| DragonZulu | like the PS3 | 07:29 |
| pfifo | Black_Phantom, its complicated, but you need it to compile with -O3 and -march=i686 or similar | 07:30 |
| DragonZulu | Then in about 2 years Dug or whoever will show up at a pengiun place screaming "Portal3 is coming to linux!" | 07:30 |
| DragonZulu | like he did the Playstation 3 | 07:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | pfifo, lol - is this gentoo all of a sudden? | 07:30 |
| DragonZulu | but that's another story | 07:30 |
| Black_Phantom | hmmm | 07:30 |
| Black_Phantom | ok thanks pfifo and turt1e :) | 07:31 |
| pfifo | ZykoticK9, nice to know someone know where i learned that trick | 07:31 |
| DragonZulu | Also, I've wondered if I need to install the Dell version of Ubuntu? | 07:31 |
| DragonZulu | Or is the regular CD fine? | 07:31 |
| whosjose | regular is fine i believe | 07:32 |
| DragonZulu | whosjose: I can't find the dell ISO for jack | 07:33 |

| ljsoftnet | how do i know the size of my swap partition? | 07:34 |
| pfifo | ljsoftnet, 'free' on command line | 07:34 |

| i_is_broke | ljsoftnet, try fdisk -l | 07:34 |
| whosjose | DragonZulu: Dell only goes up to 9.04, so I do believe that the Ubuntu 10.04 should work without any problems | 07:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | ljsoftnet, or "free -m" to see it in MBs | 07:34 |
| DragonZulu | why not df -h ? | 07:35 |
| DragonZulu | whosjose: Yeah I'm only seeing 9.04 too | 07:35 |
| pfifo | df-h wont show swap | 07:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | pfifo, swap is memory | 07:36 |
| whosjose | DragonZulu: Yea that's all what I see even on the Dell communities and wiki | 07:36 |
| pfifo | ZykoticK9, are you saying df -h WILL show swap? | 07:36 |
| whosjose | DragonZulu: Are you using a desktop or notebook? | 07:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | pfifo, no, but "free" the memory command will | 07:37 |
| DragonZulu | I see. | 07:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | pfifo, "sudo fdisk -l" would work as well | 07:37 |
| pfifo | ZykoticK9, thats what i recommended | 07:37 |
| whosjose | DragonZulu: I'm off to sleep perhaps someone here can help you, but I'm pretty sure that you will be okay with the original. | 07:37 |
| DragonZulu | whosjose: Desktop | 07:37 |
| whosjose | goodnight everyone | 07:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | pfifo, lol sorry, you actually beat me too it - didn't notice your reply | 07:38 |
| turt1e | bnixy7, that part I'm not real clear on. can you explain again the setup | 07:38 |
| pfifo | ZykoticK9, lol | 07:38 |
| DragonZulu | I'll just install wubi with the regular disks | 07:38 |
| DragonZulu | disk* | 07:38 |
| bnixy7 | I use xp for these documents. I want to pass them over to ubuntu just over the basic network. I shared the "documents" folder on ubuntu to throw files from xp onto it. I open documents folder in ubuntu, and on the document, there is a lock on the upper right area of the file. | 07:39 |
| bnixy7 | i installed samba to share the documents folder | 07:39 |
| DragonZulu | Odd, I put the disk in and got Execption Processing Message c000000013 Parameters 75b... | 07:40 |
| u-foka | Hy! After I used alt+sysrq+r to disable raw input on Xorg, how can I revert the effect without restarting X?? | 07:40 |
| DragonZulu | Cancel , Try Again, Continue | 07:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | u-foka, "compiz --replace" perhaps? | 07:40 |
| DragonZulu | It's not letting me use the disk | 07:40 |
| u-foka | ZykoticK9, it didn't help :( | 07:41 |
| DragonZulu | Says "No Disk" | 07:41 |
| u-foka | somehow I need to reenable raw input from keyboard | 07:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | u-foka, do you need to restart compiz or are you trying to do something else? | 07:41 |
| turt1e | bnixy7, can you tell me what the "writable" line in your /etc/samba/smb.conf file says? | 07:41 |
| u-foka | the prob is after raw input is disabled, alt+f1, alt+f2 keys switches tty's | 07:42 |
| bnixy7 | turtle, writeable = yes | 07:42 |
| lundh | I have installed windows xp then windows 7 on a different parition and now lastly ubuntu, why doesnt grub2 ket me boot windows xp? | 07:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | u-foka, oh, sorry, thought you where looking for something else. I'm no help at all with that. Best of luck. | 07:43 |
| foolguy | in xchat, how do I display multiple windows at once? like multiple channels | 07:43 |
| turt1e | bnixy7, what about the "creat mask" and "directory mask" lines? | 07:43 |
| pfifo | foolguy, right click the channel name and choos detatch | 07:44 |
| S4ry | foolguy, #xchat | 07:44 |
| bnixy7 | turtle, create mask = 0700 directory mask = 0700 | 07:45 |
| ljsoftnet | just did a fresh install of ubuntu, on a 500GB hard disk, when i open Disk Usage Analyzer it says 3.2GB used, 452.5GB available, but when i go to File Browser(nautilus) and click on "File System" the status bar says Free Space: 429.3 GB, where can i find the 30 GB which is not recognized? | 07:45 |
| bnixy7 | how do i edit the smb.conf file? sudo gedit etc/samba/smb.conf? | 07:45 |
| joljam | I am about to finish installation of Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx on my desktop. Towards the end I am getting a fatal error saying "unable to install GRUB in /dev/sda. What should I do? | 07:46 |
| ruckuus | hello everybody | 07:46 |
| turt1e | bnixy7, sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf | 07:47 |
| pfifo | ljsoftnet, by default 5% of your disk space is reserved for root, use tune2fs to adjust this | 07:47 |
| adminewb | pfifo ok if I pm something off topic here? | 07:47 |
| pfifo | yeah | 07:48 |
| turt1e | bnixy7, change create mask to 0666 and directory mask to 0777, but make a backup of the original file with sudo cp /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf.bak first | 07:48 |
| Jordan_U | lundh: What is the output of "sudo os-prober"? | 07:48 |
| foolguy | whoever told me to uninstall xchat gnome and install regular xchat, thanks | 07:49 |

| matt___ | xzwerm | 07:50 |
| turt1e | bnixy7, oh and make sure you are making the changes under the "[shared_local] setting for your share | 07:50 |
| i_is_broke | hmmm anyone have win 7 running in vbox, and if so, did it activate no problems for you? cause mine didnt give me any trouble, and it was activated twice. | 07:51 |

| foolguy | hello | 07:52 |
| matt___ | g | 07:52 |
| thune3 | joljam: looking through the forums, the recommendation is to consider the os installed and then try to fix grub from livecd. There may be some complicating factors if you are installing to a RAID array. | 07:52 |
| ljsoftnet | pfifo: thanks man | 07:52 |
| joljam | S4ry: thank you | 07:52 |
| bnixy7 | turtle, as strange as it sounds, I do not see a shared-local | 07:52 |
| Jordan_U | lundh: And selecting the windows 7 entry doesn't give you another menu with an option to boot XP? (they may be sharing the same boot partition) | 07:52 |
| lundh | Jordan_U: no | 07:52 |
| logan_wolf | baltazar, yes you can you need just the deb file | 07:53 |
| Jordan_U | !offline | baltazar | 07:53 |
| ubottu | baltazar: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.alturl.com/ - See also !APTonCD | 07:53 |
| lundh | Jordan_U: I had dual booting between 7 and XP working before | 07:53 |
| pfifo | ljsoftnet, np, leave root a little tho, syslogd and stuff may need it | 07:53 |
| bnixy7 | turtle, I also searched the document for both names, and nothing. | 07:53 |
| lundh | Jordan_U: XP was installed first so there is no special small windows 7 partition | 07:53 |
| lundh | either | 07:53 |
| Jordan_U | lundh: Can you run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the results? | 07:54 |
| ljsoftnet | pfifo: im just gonna leave it as is, tune2fs is kinda complicated, and i dont know how to use it | 07:54 |

| kimi_s | When i check my updates from update manager of Ubuntu 10.04 (updated) some of package information are not downloading (i mean they are failing) but the update manager works fine. Why some of them are failing? How to understand which are the softwares who are not updating for me ? | 07:55 |
| Jordan_U | joljam: Can you pastebin the output of "mount"? | 07:55 |
| baltazar | so downloading the .deb and doing dpkg -i is the same as installing from aptitude? | 07:55 |

| xzwerm | Greetings | 07:56 |
| xzwerm | from the interior | 07:56 |
| turt1e | bnixy7, actually that may be ok. It's been a while since I've messed with samba shares. Just looked at my current one also and don't see that either. you can either try the value I gave or go with the 0755 values now given in the comments of the smb.conf. I'd actually try 0775 first, reboot and see if that fixes it | 07:56 |
| joljam | Jordan_U After the installation, I am booting with the live CD. What should I do? Should I type mount in the terminal? | 07:57 |
| pLr | kimi_s, use the terminal try sudo apt-cache show pkgnamehere | 07:57 |
| Jordan_U | joljam: Yes. | 07:57 |
| S4ry | baltazar, you mean apt-get = aptitude .. | 07:57 |
| pfifo | kimi_s, I believe you can see errors by looking at the contents of the file /var/log/dpkg.log | 07:57 |
| bnixy7 | turtle, for your authentication section, do you have "security = user"? | 07:58 |
| Kane_Hart | I'm having a crap load issues with my ATI card I think I got it installed right but apparently a few games I'm trying to run hate my ati card it's a 4870 and glxgears gives me a score of like 30k and that was per 5 secs and I don't think that is high from other people who used nvidia cards 5 times older lol. If I reset my pc now and install my nvidia card 8800GX2 will I have issues with driver conflicts betwee | 07:59 |
| Kane_Hart | n ati/nvidia or ubuntu take care of that? | 07:59 |
| kimi_s | pfifo: the log file is empty. i use a cleaner for ubuntu. i think the cleaner has delete it. but i have check many times the updates after the last time i use the cleaner. | 07:59 |
| Jordan_U | baltazar: Basically, yes. Just make sure that the .deb files you download are the same that apt-get/aptitude would be installing. You can do that by using Synaptic's package download script option or by getting them from packages.ubuntu.com and making sure you choose the correct Ubuntu release. | 07:59 |
| thune3 | kimi_s: if i'm understanding you, some repository listings aren't downloading. running "sudo apt-get update" should give you an idea of what repos aren't downloading. | 07:59 |
| jesperv | Hi, I know this is not a windows channel but i hope you will answer my question anyway. I'm using winddows xp on work and want to move a window. In Ubuntu i just use <ALT> and drag the window. Can i do something similar in windows xp? | 07:59 |
| S4ry | Kane_Hart, what is n ati ! | 07:59 |
| kimi_s | pLr: can you please give me a command ? i can use the command which you gave me... | 08:00 |
| matt___ | whats the difference between #ubuntu on irc.freenode.net and irc.ubuntu.com??? | 08:00 |
| yubahaq | i dont have a bigger resolution how can i add it | 08:00 |
| Jordan_U | matt___: Nothing, they are different servers that connect to the same network. | 08:00 |

| lundh | Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/486623 | 08:01 |
| kimi_s | thune3: hmm i see them. should i delete them ? | 08:01 |
| pfifo | ljsoftnet, i completely agree with you, tune2fs is complicated | 08:01 |
| turt1e | bnixy7, I do, but by default it seems to be commented out | 08:01 |
| yubahaq | how i add a new resolution | 08:01 |
| pfifo | ljsoftnet, 'man tune2fs' | 08:01 |
| thune3 | kimi_s: if you could pastebin the info, i'll take a look | 08:01 |

| lundh | Jordan_U: no, did not move it | 08:02 |
| kimi_s | thune3: http://textsnip.com/f960ff but nautilus elementary theme is not updating. this is something bad for me ?! :( i have to fix it... but i dont know why is not updating. | 08:03 |
| adminewb | jesperv afaik Windows doesn't allow windows to move unless you drag it by the title bar, i.e. no special control keys to drag from any part of the window | 08:03 |
| pfifo | ljsoftnet, i think its 'tune2fs -m 1% /dev/sdXX' | 08:04 |
| Jordan_U | joljam: Can you follow this guide: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide and tell me what the exact error from grub-install is? | 08:04 |

| Jordan_U | lundh: Your XP partition is not in (hd0,2) it's in (hd0,5). | 08:06 |
| pLr | kimi_s, the ubuntu software center does always include detailed information for all packages | 08:07 |
| kimi_s | thune3: no error. there is no another output from this command. but it is not ok now. opera is not updating from that i understand. | 08:07 |
| kimi_s | thune3: i remeber i update many times the opera. how it is possible now to ignore it ? | 08:07 |
| pLr | kimi_s, but using the command i gave you earlier would | 08:07 |
| joljam | Jordan_U: when I type in sudo fdisk -l in the terminal i get the message saying "Unable to seek on /dev/sda | 08:08 |
| kimi_s | pLr: i know the software center. but i am talking about updates now... | 08:08 |
| pfifo | adminewb, you can select move from the dropdown menu and then grab it at any loction | 08:08 |
| turt1e | bnixy7, you mean you tried the settings change and the files are still getting copied over as read only after a reboot? | 08:08 |
| lundh | Jordan_U: triend hd0,5 aswell | 08:09 |
| kimi_s | pLr: my system's all packages are not updating. that is a big problem. opera is not udpating. this is not possible.. | 08:09 |
| adminewb | pfifo I stand corrected | 08:09 |
| Jordan_U | joljam: Something is definitely odd then. Is your hardware special in any way that you can think of? | 08:09 |
| bnixy7 | turtle, yes. I just made one other change, I went to samba under system, and went to the shared folder, properties, and under access i clicked all the boxes. so im going to reboot again and see what happens | 08:10 |
| turt1e | ok | 08:10 |
| joljam | Jordan_U: its a HP Pavilion 64 bit onto which i am installing a 32 bit ubuntu | 08:10 |
| ljsoftnet | pfifo: 'tune2fs -m 1% /dev/sdXX' where do i refer /dev/sdXX do i put the main partition or the swap? | 08:11 |
| pLr | kimi_s, ok. whats the output of : sudo apt-get install opera | 08:12 |
| joljam | Jordan_U .. last time I installed ubuntu 10.04 it was an upgrade from 9.10 not a full blown install | 08:12 |
| pfifo | ljsoftnet, type mount or df -h at the command line to track down which partition it is that your looking for | 08:12 |
| kimi_s | pLr: it says is already installed latest version. | 08:12 |
| thune3 | kimi_s: and after that "apt-cache policy opera". the latest version from your repo is 10.61.6430 | 08:12 |

| thune3 | kimi_s: if it says that's installed, you have the latest version. it hasn't been updated since Aug 13, but 10.61 is the latest | 08:14 |
| joljam | Jordan_U: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/QuwiVhBE | 08:15 |
| kimi_s | thune3: yes i know it the latest version. but the main problem is why they are not updating. i mena there are other packages which are ignored (failed) when i check the udpates. | 08:15 |
| thune3 | kimi_s: ign means that there is no new information from the repository to be downloaded. ign==up-to-date | 08:15 |
| bnixy7 | turtle, I have under samba, properties, for anyone to access the folders and write/viewable | 08:16 |
| thune3 | kimi_s: but i think i'm misunderstanding you | 08:16 |
| kimi_s | thune3: i think you are not true. because after i check the updates, update manager says that there is no update. so why some one them are ignored ? | 08:16 |
| kimi_s | thune3: yes you did not understand me. | 08:16 |
| kimi_s | anyway i will ask to forums. | 08:17 |

| kimi_s | pLr: but how i update the Opera 2 weeks before ? | 08:17 |
| Jordan_U | joljam: Ok, so you have some type of RAID (or at least blkid thinks you do). Do you know anything about it? | 08:18 |
| bnixy7 | turtle, now it is saying that I need to type a username and pw to connect to ubuntu. and it will not let me access the folders anymore. bah hum bug. i need to re install ubuntu | 08:18 |

| pLr | kimi_s, if you move to the unstable non-free you can update more often w/ more problems | 08:20 |
| pfifo | HBSC, tcp port 21 is all that is needed, unless you changed what port number it listens on. tcp/udp 20 is for something else (i forget what) | 08:21 |

| Jordan_U | joljam: You're welcome. Even if it does work you may want to consider disabling RAID in the BIOS and re-installing Ubuntu with the "nodmraid" option. What you have is called Fake RAID, called that because companies try to pass it off as true hardware RAID when all it is is some code in the BIOS and software raid. It's often a pain to deal with as Fake RAID is generally proprietary and poorly documented (if at all). | 08:30 |
| turt1e | bnixy7, sure | 08:30 |
| Jordan_U | joljam: The only real advantage is that you can boot windows from it. While linux can boot from pure software RAID, windows can't. | 08:31 |
| S4ry | I remember saving someone data files to back it up from his Windows through Ubuntu live-cd :) | 08:32 |
| joljam | Jordan_U: In fact I do not want to have the ability to boot Windows | 08:32 |
| thune3 | Chr|s: the control is found in Nautilus (the file browser) under Edit->Preferences|Preview|Sound File. If it is on, i would guess you don't have a codecs installed for that sound type, or it is not a type recognized. | 08:32 |

| nogienugz | hi guys, I have a problem with java jre. I often visit a site ---> www.citiseconline.com, this website site doesn't display well, when i'm using ubuntu. but doesn't show any problem if i use windows... Second, in the website, when it always ask to install JAVA, but i ALREADY HAVE java installed... is anyone familiar w/ this problem? | 08:37 |
| pfifo | nogienugz, you have to install the java-plugin part of java as well as the jre | 08:38 |
| Ubuntu-monitor | pfifo, I am using 8.04, dont see monitors there | 08:38 |
| pfifo | Ubuntu-monitor, upgrade to 10.04 OR write your own xorg.conf | 08:39 |
| Ubuntu-monitor | pfifo, 10.04 ate all my stuffs, first mouse, then wifi then nvidia | 08:39 |
| Ubuntu-monitor | how can I change the xorg.conf | 08:39 |
| nogienugz | pfifo, huh? but in the synaptic package manager, i already checked all the "java6" related packages, and installed,, is the java plugin different from those? | 08:40 |
| pfifo | Ubuntu-monitor, writing your own xorg.conf is complicated, but there are pleny of resources on google and you can also view the manual by typing 'man xorg.conf' into a terminal | 08:40 |
| pfifo | nogienugz, yes | 08:40 |
| mosno | so in 10.04, if i change the user account password, shouldn't the system also update the gnome keyring password? if not, is there a way to enable this functionality? | 08:41 |
| nogienugz | pfifo, i'll try to search for that java package at home. thanks. | 08:42 |
| pfifo | monzo, i think the answer is no and no, but i rarely use the keyring and never change my password, so i may be wrong | 08:43 |
| monzo | pfifo, you probably mean mosno instead of monzo ;) | 08:44 |
| joljam | how can I disable Fake RAID in my BIOS with nodmraid option | 08:44 |
| pfifo | monzo, yes, in fact, i did! | 08:44 |
| pfifo | joljam, what type of motherboard do you have? | 08:44 |
| mosno | monzo, thanks | 08:45 |
| mosno | pfifo, i don't seem to remember having to worry about gnome-keyring falling out of sync on fedora, but i could be wrong | 08:45 |
| mosno | will need to research further | 08:45 |

| pfifo | joljam, no thats not what im looking for, your motherboard itself will have a model number. I need to find the documentation for it | 08:49 |
| Andr00 | oh ok... | 08:49 |
| joljam | pfifo. where can I get the model number from | 08:49 |
| pfifo | joljam its usually printed on the motherborad, you may have to open your PC and grab a flashlight | 08:50 |
| Andr00 | lets DELETE the linux kernel then see what ubuntu is now? | 08:50 |
| pfifo | no, dont delete it, use dpkg to safely remove it | 08:50 |
| Andr00 | ubuntu - linux kernel = a bunch of useless code | 08:51 |
| rww | Andr00: Do you have an Ubuntu support question somewhere in there? | 08:52 |
| pfifo | Andr00, it should be possible to use a bsd kernel with the files ubuntu provides, but i would expect some problems | 08:52 |

| SGHi7 | pfifo, I peeked through both and it doesn't seem to show. | 09:02 |

| jasonmchristos | what command should i issue? | 09:27 |

| falmog | ddavids: yea lookin good so far... | 10:49 |
| linux_inferno | S4ry yea man, eyes are starting to haze over... | 10:49 |
| S4ry | if thats so , give it a rest | 10:50 |
| linux_inferno | S4ry I'm determined to start a render before I go to sleep | 10:51 |
| pfifo | linux_inferno, isnt there a 32bit version of maya? that seems like it would be the easy route | 10:51 |
| fep | when i added 2 gig swap, i also got an dva2 extended partition with same size, why? | 10:52 |
| fep | dev2 even | 10:52 |
| linux_inferno | pfifo I fixed it... | 10:53 |
| fep | sd2 i mean, sorry | 10:53 |
| umc | guys, besides installing samba and sharing a folder, do I need to do anything to be able to map a network drive in windows 7 to access my home folder ? I did these steps, I can see my share in the network, but I can't figure out what users to use. I'm trying my ubuntu user and password and it won't accept it | 10:53 |
| pfifo | fep, a swap PARTITON is a PARTITON on your harddrive | 10:53 |
| logan_wolf | umc, I don't think samba works well for win 7 | 10:53 |
| umc | it worked before I installed ubuntu. I had mandriva before and I could access my shared folder without problems | 10:54 |
| umc | but there I have set up the share with some gui, not like here | 10:54 |
| umc | there I had to add a user and password | 10:54 |
| pfifo | umc you need to set user/pass using smbpasswd | 10:54 |
| linux_inferno | S4ry pfifo - I hate myself... sudo apt-get install libxp6 did it... i didn't see the libxp6 package before because i was trying to autocomplete libX.... and blah blah blah case sensative eat a chode-sicle | 10:54 |
| fep | pfifo: yes, and i gparted i have one swap (2gig), the main system partition (150gig) and some unalocated free partition, BUT i also got an extended partition (2gig) wich i didnt make, why ? | 10:54 |
| falmog | ddavids: installed successfully. i played movie but it suggests to search for a plugin | 10:56 |
| umc | pfifo: ever encountered this ? http://pastebin.com/j6LeQmhf | 10:56 |
| pfifo | fep it sounds like you chose to create your swap partition as a logical drive in the extended partion but you were expecting to create your swap partition as a primary partition | 10:56 |
| fep | i should have unallocated, system partition and swap partition, not an extra extended partiton too | 10:56 |
| fep | oh, ok | 10:56 |
| dabukalam | Hi I've just switched out the motherboard on my laptop, and when turning it on, it gives me "Unable to Mount Filesystem". Yet, "ls /" shows the contents on my HDD, what's gone wrong? | 10:56 |
| pfifo | umc run smbpasswd as root by using sudo | 10:56 |
| fep | pfifo: what should swap partition be? ext or prim? | 10:57 |
| pfifo | fep either way will work, depends on your setup, if you only want 2 partitions then both as primary should be optimal | 10:57 |
| umc | pfifo: indeed, that doesn't error out, except that it says it can't find an entry for my user. so it's not the system user... I guess I need to create it somehow... | 10:57 |
| fep | pfifo: i see, and someone says i should have the same as my ram, someone say the double, and some say no swap at all... what is the standard? | 10:58 |
| fep | when i have 6gig ram | 10:58 |
| umc | smbpasswd -a user. got it :) | 10:58 |
| pfifo | umc, you were trying to set the password for root, you need to supply smbpasswd with the username you want to change the password for, read the help file for smbpassword to get a better idea of how the system works | 10:58 |
| umc | pfifo: I did smbpasswd umc | 10:59 |
| umc | but samba didn't have that user | 10:59 |
| umc | but I googled that I had to add it first with smbpasswd -a umc | 10:59 |
| umc | now all works, even from windows 7 | 11:00 |
| umc | thanks for the tips | 11:00 |
| skumara | i have a bug (i think). My sound system was working well until just now when i start my pc i get no sound. when i open gnome-volume-control from terminal i get this error ** (gnome-volume-control:3280): WARNING **: Default sink stream not found. In the volume control i see my hardware internal audio but in output tab i dont see this hardware!! | 11:00 |
| pfifo | fep, well double is the standard, the way pages work you need to have double or more for it to be completly effective, but in your case with 6gb of memory, you will probbaly never use swap unless your running some serious server daemons | 11:00 |
| pfifo | umc, enjoy | 11:00 |
| fep | sorry guys, i need an answer. what should the swap partition be? extended or primary? | 11:00 |
| rww | fep: doesn't matter whether it's extended or primary | 11:01 |
| pfifo | fep, go logical in your extended partition if you are unsure | 11:01 |

| xeviox | mount ... -o "user=....;password=...." .... but it didn't work | 11:08 |
| linux_inferno | xeviox = xevious? | 11:08 |
| pfifo | harrz, Im pretty sure there is a mount option for that, something like noatime or async, but itll fry your stick alot quicker than usual, review the mount manpage for all the possible options | 11:08 |
| xeviox | linux_inferno: nope | 11:08 |
| linux_inferno | xeviox - There is no way around that issue. Can't use @ either I don't think | 11:09 |
| xeviox | I also tried "mount ... -o user=...;password... ... but that didn't work, too | 11:09 |

| Name141 | is FGLRX the best ATi driver for the 4670? | 11:09 |
| linux_inferno | xeviox I think it has to do with the fact that samba has to translate characters to windows | 11:10 |
| xeviox | linux_inferno: oh, so there can't be an "#" in the password? Can I use a variable to set it up? | 11:10 |
| Name141 | or is there one that would provide better 3D support? | 11:10 |
| skumara | Name141, FGLRX works fine in ATI 4500. | 11:10 |
| pfifo | xeviox, no, you simply have to escape the # on the command line | 11:10 |
| linux_inferno | xeviox what do you mean use a variable to set it up | 11:10 |
| Name141 | skumara, I tried Half-life2 on wine, and it was choppy | 11:10 |
| xeviox | linux_inferno: the password itself works without problem, if I use just "-o user=..." it asks me for the password and everything works fine .. | 11:10 |

| jeepersz | ubuntu is pretty much worthless for anyone with dialup | 12:07 |
| pfifo | adi11, yes | 12:08 |
| pfifo | jeepersz, thats not true, linux practically invented dialup | 12:08 |
| jeepersz | I can't download all the dumb stuff it says because I don't have an internet connection to do it | 12:09 |
| arunkumar413 | hi friends | 12:09 |
| pfifo | jeepersz, yes that can be a problem, download from elsewhere and then copy them to your computer | 12:10 |
| jrib | jeepersz: how are you here now? | 12:10 |
| jeepersz | jrib: windows | 12:10 |
| jrib | jeepersz: that's fine, use that | 12:10 |
| jeepersz | those programs don't work in windows | 12:10 |
| jeepersz | I can't look at the website in ubuntu, either | 12:10 |
| jrib | jeepersz: what programs? Don't you just need some debs. | 12:10 |
| jeepersz | It looks like i have to compile drivers | 12:11 |
| jeepersz | and identify my modem | 12:11 |
| jeepersz | and blah blah blah | 12:11 |
| HeTaL | Well, you didn't pay for it. If you don't like it, don't use it. | 12:11 |
| jrib | jeepersz: well that's what you need to do. It's possible, just seems like you don't want to do it. Which is fine, you don't have to | 12:11 |
| jeepersz | I also didn't like the install. It was resizing my partitions before I even knew what it was up to. It could have said that was what I was agreeing to | 12:12 |
| erdnase | jeepersz, it took me 3days just to connect through my wlan. linux isn't windows. | 12:12 |
| adi11 | pfifo | http://paste.ubuntu.com/486706/ | 12:12 |
| jrib | jeepersz: it doesn't resize partitions unless you tell it to | 12:12 |
| erdnase | jeepersz, ubuntu actually tells you everything. | 12:13 |
| Stefanos90 | how does it slap? | 12:13 |
| jeepersz | jrib: I clicked on "install side by side" and the next thing I knew, it was resizing partitions and making new ones | 12:13 |
| erdnase | jeepersz, you should've read everything in there. | 12:13 |
| HeTaL | jeepersz: There is a bar there that you can slide to choose partition sizes. | 12:14 |
| HeTaL | This is linux, not OSX. | 12:14 |
| HeTaL | Albeit userfriendly, not idiot friendly. | 12:14 |
| bazhang | HeTaL, that's uncalled for | 12:14 |
| pfifo | adi11, it looks like your missing a huge portion of your dmesg, try this instead "dmesg|tail -n100" | 12:14 |
| jeepersz | it's just retarded. I could use a real partition manager just fine, but it's dumbed down to the point of being obtuse | 12:14 |
| adi11 | ok thanks | 12:14 |
| HeTaL | bazhang: Did I say somethign wrong? | 12:15 |
| jrib | jeepersz: I always thought the install was fairly explicit but if you think it should warn you more, file a bug | 12:15 |
| bazhang | HeTaL, the part about idiot | 12:15 |
| jeepersz | and then grub wouldn't install. That failed. So now i have ubuntu on a partition I can't boot to, and if I do, dialup doesn't work | 12:15 |
| jeepersz | yay, ubuntu! | 12:15 |
| jrib | jeepersz: so what do you want help with now? You seem to be going all over the p lace | 12:15 |
| HeTaL | bazhang: I understand. Just showing the difference between user-side interactions. | 12:15 |
| erdnase | jeepersz, Jeep this isn't windows. | 12:15 |
| adi11 | pfifo | http://paste.ubuntu.com/486707/ | 12:16 |
| jeepersz | erdnase: clearly. Windows isn't such a terrible mess ;) | 12:16 |
| erdnase | jeepersz, so why did you try ubuntu in the first placE? | 12:16 |
| HeTaL | jeepersz: If you don't like it, don't use it. | 12:16 |
| kpkarl | jeepersz: because Ubuntu is a separate operating system, it is not possible to install it inside your windows partition | 12:16 |
| bazhang | kpkarl, sure it is. using wubi | 12:16 |
| jrib | kpkarl: you can with wubi | 12:17 |
| HeTaL | kpkarl: you can | 12:17 |
| hiexpo | just got my twitter back working in pidgin what a pain | 12:17 |
| pfifo | thats weird, dmesg isnt working like I expected it to, i guess it changed in 10.04 | 12:17 |
| aeon-ltd | vm | 12:17 |
| kpkarl | bazhang: I meant the actually system files | 12:17 |
| kpkarl | *actual | 12:17 |
| jeepersz | erdnase: I didn't know, going into it, that it would resize my partitions when I clicked "install side by side" I didn't expect it to fail at installing grub, and I thought that it was pretty obvious to include things like dialup drivers | 12:18 |
| pfifo | adi11, try 'sudo blkid' and 'sudo fdisk -l' paste that | 12:19 |
| HeTaL | bazhang: I think now my comment sounds in place. | 12:19 |
| erdnase | jeepersz, try going through the installation process again. I'm positive that you can see that ubuntu is goin to resize your partition. | 12:19 |
| kpkarl | jeepersz: I'm sorry you're having trouble with Ubuntu, may I recommend you try installing inside a virtual machine next time | 12:19 |
| bazhang | HeTaL, no it is never in place here. lets move on. | 12:19 |
| adi11 | this are two difrentt commands or just one? | 12:20 |
| pfifo | adi11, 2 different commands | 12:20 |
| adi11 | root@adi-desktop:~# sudo blkid | 12:20 |
| adi11 | /dev/sda1: UUID="fdc8a3f0-b51b-452c-8928-ec84ef5f97b0" TYPE="ext4" | 12:20 |
| adi11 | /dev/sda5: UUID="79a80956-4fe0-43da-bfd8-860820ff9021" TYPE="swap" | 12:20 |
| erdnase | Gtg, dinner. | 12:20 |
| jeepersz | so why did grub fail? | 12:21 |
| adi11 | pfifo | http://paste.ubuntu.com/486709/ | 12:21 |
| adi11 | pfifo | i think i have two swap partitions. am i right? | 12:22 |
| kpkarl | jeepersz: how were you installing Ubuntu? via Wubi.exe or cd or usb? | 12:22 |
| jeepersz | kpkarl: cd | 12:22 |
| LXCC-Vincenzo | hi all , i want take a byte from a file (not-textfile), using bash, anyone can help me? | 12:23 |
| adi11 | pfifo | i think i forgot to delete the old swap :) | 12:23 |
| pfifo | adi11, it definatly looks like this device is not using the standard usb flash drive setup. You said that this thing said its compatable with linux, did it come with a CD? | 12:23 |
| kpkarl | jeepersz: did you get an error message? | 12:23 |
| jrib | LXCC-Vincenzo: try #bash | 12:23 |
| pfifo | adi11, no you have a extended partition and inside that partition you have a logical partition with a swap filesystem on it | 12:23 |
| jeepersz | kpkarl: Something vague about the grub pkg fialing to install | 12:23 |
| jeepersz | failing, even | 12:24 |
| LXCC-Vincenzo | ok,ty jrib | 12:24 |
| adi11 | pfifo | yes i google it and every where says its compatible with wins macs and linux 2.4 | 12:24 |
| pfifo | adi11, yeah, but did it come with a CD? | 12:24 |
| adi11 | no cause some gave it to me to use it as pendrive | 12:25 |
| adi11 | it was not new | 12:25 |
| adi11 | i dont have any usermanual or cd | 12:25 |
| kpkarl | jeepersz: ok, I see. well, I know there was a problem with 10.04 and grub that has sense been fixed. Other than that, I can't really say much | 12:25 |
| pfifo | adi11, ok, weve run out of things to troubleshoot here. If i were you I would try a different usb cable, and also try it on a windows machine. And this is a longshot but who knows, try to boot from the device. If all that fails, you might have a broken peice of hardware | 12:27 |
| adi11 | pfifo | the guy gave it to me told me that win xp recongized but his ubuntu not | 12:28 |
| adi11 | pfifo | concerninc the logical partion swap do you think i can get that space back? | 12:28 |
| pfifo | adi11, when you try it on XP check to see what filesystem is on it, normally those things use fat32 but if its using something wierd that would explain it | 12:28 |
| pfifo | adi11, yeah you can delete both the logical and extended partition, then resize you main partition to use the whole drive | 12:29 |
| jeepersz | kpkarl: So what am I supposed to do? try to install grub manually? | 12:29 |
| kpkarl | pfifo: but if that were the case, wouldn't the player show in lsusb? | 12:29 |
| === lorenzosu_ is now known as lorenzosu | ||

| pfifo | kpkarl, im leaving that one as undefined, with dmesg borked all to hell, im asuming the lsusb and related utilities are broken | 12:30 |
| adi11 | do you think i can do it without reinstall ubuntu? | 12:30 |
| kpkarl | jeepersz: you could. Do you want to try that? | 12:30 |
| jeepersz | not really | 12:31 |
| pfifo | adi11, yeah use a livecd to do that, you dont want it to be mounted | 12:31 |
| pfifo | adi11, use gparted on the livecd | 12:31 |
| jeepersz | but I have to do something at this point because I have partitions with ubuntu 10.04 on them that I can't get to ;) | 12:31 |
| kpkarl | jeepersz: I can give you the command. Otherwise, to remove ubuntu you can delete the ubuntu partitions with gparted, then expand the windows partition, then use your windows CD to reinstall the windows bootloader | 12:32 |
| adi11 | ok thanks pfifo | 12:32 |

| wessel | There will be windows installed on the hard disk, it it possible to see if all the hardware works correctly with ubuntu before I remove the windows? I would like to do a windows refund. | 13:15 |
| bazhang | wessel, try the live cd | 13:16 |
| ibrahim-kasem | bazhang, installing this package libk3b6-extracodecs will add new options to the application ? k3b ? so i can create mp3 disc | 13:16 |
| bazhang | ibrahim-kasem, correct | 13:16 |
| wessel | There will not be a CD/DVD player, but I can install from USB stick, did this before. | 13:16 |

| bazhang | wessel, that will work too: live usb | 13:17 |
| youngblood | pfifo, output from iwconfig, lo no wireless extensions | 13:17 |
| pfifo | wessel, you can boot from a USB stick and Install to a different USB stick if you really wanted to | 13:17 |
| wessel | ubuntu-10.04-netbook-i368.iso will this also be a live USB? | 13:17 |
| ibrahim-kasem | bazhang, in the new project list, I can only see create audio cd project no mp3. | 13:17 |
| wessel | pfifo: well I want to check if all the hardware works, I'm worried that if the netbook is broken somehow they will blame me for installing linux | 13:18 |
| pfifo | youngblood, somehow the modules for your network adapters are not being loaded. | 13:18 |
| wessel | but I can't run the pre installed windows, because after I accept the EULA I can't get a windows refund anymore. | 13:19 |
| youngblood | pfifo, can i do that manually? | 13:19 |
| pfifo | wessel, linux will not 'break' you computer the worse that can happen is that it will delete all your files, in which case you can just format and reinstall windows | 13:19 |
| wessel | I can not reinstall windows, its really silly | 13:20 |

| pfifo | wessel, when you boot from the livecd, it will not make any change to your computer unless you specifically tell it to install onto your harddrive | 13:20 |

| cast | wessel: one way to work out if linux supports your netbook is to google, either the whole netbook or the parts. wireless is the main issue | 13:22 |

| frando | binas: and my hardware is definitely supported, i've been using the radeon driver before | 14:03 |
| frando | binas: mobility radeon hd2600 is what i have | 14:03 |
| binas | frando:sorry, much knowledge about this topic | 14:04 |
| Tafffash | good afternoon everyone | 14:04 |
| rgnr | hi all | 14:04 |
| rgnr | a question | 14:04 |
| frando | /j #xorg | 14:04 |
| rgnr | simple enough | 14:04 |
| pfifo | frando, well, can you get access to a command line on your system? | 14:04 |
| frando | pfifo: yeah I can get into a root shell | 14:05 |
| rgnr | i wanna partition my hdd so that base system and installed apps will reside on separate partitions | 14:05 |
| rgnr | like in windows | 14:05 |
| pfifo | frando, try deleting your xorg.conf file and then start X with its built in defaults | 14:05 |
| sebsebseb | Hi | 14:05 |
| rgnr | system and storage | 14:05 |
| frando | pfifo: did that, no help | 14:05 |
| youngblood | pfifo, I'm on a liveCD, when I select firfox i get a pop-up that tells me I need the broadcom drivers. I then install the drivers, but still no connection. | 14:05 |
| rgnr | so in case of failure i'll have to reinstall only os | 14:06 |
| sebsebseb | youngblood: you can try Ndiswrapper with a Windows driver, if can't do it natively | 14:06 |
| bazhang | rgnr, separate home | 14:06 |
| frando | pfifo: weird thing, also tried a failsafe xorg.conf with driver "vesa" and I *still* get that very weird thing where the screen is first filled with some green-ish color and then slowly fades to white and then freezes | 14:06 |
| bazhang | !home > rgnr | 14:06 |
| ubottu | rgnr, please see my private message | 14:06 |
| pfifo | youngblood, yeah thats what i was going to suggest | 14:06 |
| sebsebseb | youngblood: I just joined, what was the actsaul issue? | 14:06 |
| pfifo | frando, are you dual booting this machine? | 14:07 |
| frando | pfifo: however, when I select an older kernel in grub (right now 31-11-rt) I can get X to start with driver "vesa" | 14:07 |
| frando | pfifo: yeah also have an windows 7 installation on the machine | 14:07 |
| pfifo | frando, so its definatly not faulty hardware? | 14:07 |
| youngblood | sebsebseb, I have a new Dell laptop with release 10.04 installed. I can't get any internet connection. My network card is a broadcom 4727. My ethernet card is Atheros Comm AR8152.v1.1. The package manager shows that module bcmwl-modaliases is installed. what should i look for next to get net connected? | 14:08 |
| frando | pfifo: nope, windows 7 works everything fine, and also before the update to 10.04 + switch from fglrx to radeon driver everything worked perfectly, including dri and compositng (with fglrx) | 14:08 |
| pfifo | frando, you should do a fresh install. | 14:08 |
| Planet8 | What is the name of the desktop used in Ubuntu 10.04 netbook version? | 14:09 |
| frando | pfifo: hhrrm. yeah maybe. thought there might be a way. really not too fond of doing a reinstall, there's a lot of stuff installed and configured on the machine that I need.. | 14:09 |
| youngblood | pfifo, it looks like the system see the wireless, but I still can not connect. | 14:09 |
| bazhang | !une > Planet8 | 14:09 |
| ubottu | Planet8, please see my private message | 14:09 |
| frando | pfifo: i might try to swith back to fglrx first | 14:09 |
| Tafffash | Guys Im sick of windows, can i dual install ubuntu? If so what do i need to download please? | 14:09 |
| sebsebseb | Tafffash: of course | 14:10 |
| pinaka_ | hi\ | 14:10 |
| timewriter | frando , boot rescue mode , drop to terminal , remove any drivers , blacklist some modules , and install the latest drivers | 14:10 |
| Tafffash | sebsebseb what do i need to download? | 14:10 |
| timewriter | thats how i did today , after x failed | 14:10 |
| nastas | youngblood: could you post the output of lspci -vv iwconfig and ifconfig in pastebin please? | 14:10 |
| sebsebseb | Tafffash: to install a Linux distro be that Ubuntu or another one, you will need install media, easy way is to download the ISO, check that is a good download, and burn your own CD | 14:10 |
| lucenut | Hi peeps. I have a machine with 10.04 installed and I want to make it dual boot with windows 7. | 14:11 |
| frando | timewriter: so what i did is apt-get remove --purge fglrx and also apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-ati libgl1-mesa-glx | 14:11 |
| sebsebseb | Tafffash: in the case of Ubuntu can order a free CD, but they take a while to get sent | 14:11 |
| frando | timewriter: what else do you suggest? blacklist some modules - what do you mean? | 14:11 |
| pfifo | youngblood, its hard to believe that theres a card out there thats not supported, but its starting to look that way | 14:11 |
| lucenut | I booted into a live cd and tried gparted but it says you have to have root priviledges to run gparted. | 14:11 |
| frando | timewriter: my /etc/modules lists just "lp" | 14:11 |
| lucenut | What do I do? | 14:11 |
| rgnr | !user | 14:11 |
| jrib | lucenut: gksudo gparted | 14:11 |

| timewriter | frando , fglrx drivers may fail to install without blacklisting some modules | 14:12 |
| pfifo | youngblood, try ubuntu 32bit | 14:12 |
| nastas | ok | 14:12 |
| Tafffash | thanks all | 14:12 |
| timewriter | i dont know about ati , but this happened with my nvidia card | 14:12 |
| Tafffash | time to read up lol | 14:12 |
| frando | timewriter: actually, i want to use the open source radeon driver | 14:12 |
| rgnr | !proc | 14:12 |
| frando | timewriter: what do you mean by blacklisting some modules? how would I do that? | 14:12 |
| timewriter | just a second | 14:12 |
| youngblood | pfifo, i'll give that a try in a sec. | 14:12 |
| timewriter | need to do a research | 14:13 |
| Tafffash | I have downloaded the iso and burnt to cd | 14:13 |
| Tafffash | so i just pop it in and install? | 14:13 |
| sebsebseb | Tafffash: not quite | 14:13 |
| cast | Tafffash: and reboot | 14:13 |
| sebsebseb | Tafffash: 1. you should check the ISO is good | 14:13 |
| timewriter | frando , did you tried this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI | 14:13 |
| sebsebseb | Tafffash: 2. you might have to tell your computer to boot from CD in its bios, by changing the boot order | 14:13 |
| ibrahim-kasem | why sound disappears suddenly, I have to restart to fix this !! | 14:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Tafffash: pop it in and | 14:14 |
| Dr_Willis | boot from the cd | 14:14 |
| sebsebseb | Tafffash: 3. don't just install, try the Live session on the CD first, to find out that your hardware is ok or not | 14:14 |
| Tafffash | ok number 2 i know how to boot form cd | 14:14 |
| Tafffash | how do i check number 1? | 14:14 |

| Tafffash | ok thanks guys | 14:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Tafffash: check your bios settings, many pc's also have a Fkey you hit to select what item to boot from | 14:14 |
| timewriter | i remember the days i use to own ati cards , i always installed the drivers using that procedure | 14:15 |
| timewriter | never had problem with them | 14:15 |
| adolfo | holq | 14:15 |
| timewriter | i had much more problems iwht nvidia | 14:15 |
| Tafffash | ok going to check if the iso burnt right now | 14:16 |
| sebsebseb | Tafffash: ok :) | 14:16 |
| sebsebseb | Tafffash: by the way in the future, when you got a Linux distro on there, much easier to do it in that | 14:16 |
| Dr_Willis | timewriter: i would consider you 'very lucky' then. | 14:16 |

| dv_ | i was tried din´t work | 15:28 |
| dv_ | but | 15:29 |
| Yautja_Cetanu | IS ebox better then webmin? | 15:29 |
| Cmdr_W_T_Riker | Yautja_Cetanu: i recommend getting familiar with the command line if you're going to do manage server(s) instead of relying on a webbased tool | 15:29 |
| Chell | pfifo, yes I have. 1 application. don't exactly know which. Is it important to find out? | 15:29 |
| Kyle__ | Yautja_Cetanu: noob you may be, but it's worth putting in the effort to get familiar with the CLI (command line interface). | 15:29 |
| aeon-ltd | Tater3000: wubi? wubi does cause a lot more problems that a regular install wouldn't maybe that could be the real cause of your suspend dilemma | 15:29 |
| Kyle__ | Yautja_Cetanu: It wont save you hour's a year, it will save you perhaps _weeks_ a year. | 15:29 |

| Tater3000 | thanks | 15:30 |
| Yautja_Cetanu | Kyle__: ok is the best way to go about doing that by just reading the manual? Or is there a more direct route for learning? | 15:30 |
| dv_ | okay i will try | 15:30 |
| Kyle__ | eein: from the command line, type groups, hit enter, and tell us what you see. It's probably a permissions issue. | 15:31 |

| Cmdr_W_T_Riker | wessel_: try holding shift | 15:55 |
| aeon-ltd | mobal: say wut? you'd rip a dvd with a dvd drive, cuda wouln't speed anything up besides the re encoding part | 15:55 |
| wessel_ | ah, that works! thanks | 15:55 |
| user43890 | sacarlson: yeah, programs like this are abundant in Windows, but I haven't found a Linux alternative. | 15:55 |
| CR0W | Kyle__ > works! :) It turns out for vfat you need to specify a user or it will set to the user from witch mounting | 15:55 |
| Dr_Willis | mobal: handbrake is popular for that. | 15:55 |
| Dr_Willis | mobal: or dvd::rip | 15:55 |

| pfifo | should I use 10w40 or 5w30 in my ubuntu install? | 15:56 |
| ksbalaji | Dr_Willis, Do you suggest that I do not reboot from here? - I tried to reboot to a recovery kernel and operate dpkg and aptitude from there. It failed. | 15:57 |
| bimmerman1911 | pfifo, i think that gave me the answer actually, seams to be as simple as some hidden files in the home directory! Thanx! | 15:57 |
| pfifo | bimmerman1911, yeah i figured it was accurate. have a good one | 15:57 |
| user43890 | sacarlson: yeah, but say I want to capture a window that is larger than my display. Some of the window isn't visible on the screen. I have to believe there's a screenshot program that will be able to capture that entire window, whether or not it is visible on my screen. | 15:57 |
| Dr_Willis | ksbalaji: odd that it failed.. the recovery console/kernel entry is just a more basic bootup of the normal system. whats failing exactly with it? | 15:57 |
| dv_ | rr | 15:58 |
| sacarlson | user43890: well did you try ctl-printscreen I never did | 15:58 |
| sacarlson | user43890: I assume it only gets what you see | 15:58 |
| user43890 | sacarlson: yeah, i'm pretty sure that's the issue. | 15:59 |
| ksbalaji | Dr_Willis, there are four entries at the mbr display which I can choose. Two regular kernels and two recovery kernels. Only one recovery kernel successfully completes upto commandline accepting level. | 15:59 |
| user43890 | sacarlson: I mean, X is still serving the window, whether or not it fits on my display... | 16:00 |

| askhader | sacarlson: The perl script executes without error | 16:10 |
| askhader | And has the desired deffect | 16:10 |

| askhader | Pici: There is no newline... | 16:10 |
| Dr_Willis | majster_: Clarify what you mean. | 16:10 |
| xuekan | Pici:thanks, the only problem of #Ubuntu_cn is there are almost have noone in the room. | 16:10 |
| Dr_Willis | deepu: it depends on what you download. | 16:10 |
| Pici | askhader: There needs to be. | 16:11 |
| askhader | Pici: Adding now, let's see if this works. | 16:11 |
| blendmaster1024 | how do I detect what VT is active from the command line? this has to work from bash scripts running under X too. | 16:11 |
| sacarlson | askhader: running with the wrong user? | 16:11 |
| sysf1 | my is ubuntu new user | 16:11 |
| Dr_Willis | blendmaster1024: check the 'set' command see if theres a variable set somewhere to the info, | 16:11 |
| chapmant | configuration question for you guys. | 16:11 |
| askhader | sacarlson: It is executable by all. | 16:12 |
| askhader | sacarlson: I already posted the permissions. | 16:12 |
| chapmant | where's the configuration setting to make my mouse stop moving to new windows when i open them? | 16:12 |
| deepu | can i say .deb is equivalent to .exe in windows? | 16:12 |
| jpds | deepu: No. | 16:12 |
| Dr_Willis | deepu: thats incorrect. | 16:12 |
| chapmant | i can't find it anywhere, and it's driving be bonkers. | 16:12 |
| askhader | Pici still seems to be not be working. | 16:12 |
| deepu | why both will execute | 16:12 |
| Dr_Willis | deepu: a .deb is technically an archive. | 16:12 |
| Dr_Willis | deepu: you dont execute a .deb | 16:12 |
| blendmaster1024 | deepu: compare .deb more to .zip | 16:13 |
| dajhorn | blendmaster1024: Console VTs are different than ptys inside an X11 environment. What are you trying to do? | 16:13 |
| Dr_Willis | deepu: you install it... | 16:13 |
| jpds | deepu: A .deb contains the .exe and it's needed libraries (it can depend on other .debs to run). | 16:13 |
| sacarlson | askhader: I hope you saw (10:10:06 PM) Pici: statment | 16:13 |
| blendmaster1024 | dajhorn: trying to detect what vt is active. you know - ctrl+alt+F[0-12]? | 16:13 |
| jpds | deepu: It is an archive so it can contain multiple .exe's, etc. | 16:13 |
| elliot_ | You know Ubuntu releases are like alpha 1, 2, 3 etc what does that mean? | 16:14 |
| dajhorn | blendmaster1024: Why? Describe what you're trying to accomplish. | 16:14 |
| chapmant | Anyone? Please? | 16:14 |
| deepu | ohhh...thx | 16:14 |
| tehowe | Hmmmn. Firefox twitter plugins seem to be breaking with the OAuth rollover, and blaming the OS and/or Firefox 'can't get OAuth' connection | 16:14 |
| askhader | sacarlson: Wow, so for you've said nothing useful. | 16:14 |
| Pici | askhader: There should be an entry in /var/log/auth.log for cron when it tries to run the job, is there one there? (something like: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user $user) | 16:14 |
| Dr_Willis | elliot_: just the stages of testing untill its 'rc' (release canadite) (almost done) and then 'Final' | 16:14 |
| blendmaster1024 | dajhorn: chvt to a specific VT when the VT is changed off | 16:14 |
| blendmaster1024 | dajhorn: I'm working on a kiosk system | 16:14 |
| askhader | Pici: Hundreds of line that says Sep 1 11:14:01 lambda CRON[28176]: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user askhader by (uid=0) | 16:14 |
| sacarlson | askhader: as far as I know you are correct nothing. | 16:15 |
| elliot_ | ah cool. I could not download 1 or 2 for 10.10 so I got 3 | 16:15 |
| Dr_Willis | elliot_: that makes sence. | 16:15 |
| deepu | ubuntu is free of cost so from where v get supports? | 16:15 |
| Dr_Willis | elliot_: the 'daily build' version is redone daily, :) | 16:15 |
| Dr_Willis | deepu: you can buy comercial support.. depending on wha tyou need in 'support' | 16:15 |
| blendmaster1024 | deepu: here | 16:16 |
| askhader | Pici: Does this mean that Ubuntu reports the cron job as being run? | 16:16 |
| deepu | ok | 16:16 |
| Dr_Willis | deepu: then theres here and the forums.. and of course the internet.. | 16:16 |
| Pici | askhader: And theres a shebang on the first line of the script? like: #!/path/to/perl | 16:16 |
| dajhorn | blendmaster1024: Console VTs stay 'active' in the background. From userland, they behave no differently in the foreground or background. You probably need to peek a kernel value from /proc or /sys, which means that you need to read the kernel Documentation/. | 16:16 |
| blendmaster1024 | deepu: just remember that since it's free support it will be of slightly lower quality when people are not feeling like helping | 16:16 |
| deepu | mmmmmm....ya ya | 16:16 |
| askhader | Pici: #!/usr/bin/env per | 16:16 |
| deepu | v the people give supports ..........right? | 16:16 |
| askhader | Or is just /usr/bin/perl preferred? | 16:16 |
| Dr_Willis | I often wonder what paid commercial support people actually 'support' do they help people learn bash and so forth? :) | 16:16 |
| blendmaster1024 | dajhorn: well I know they're still ... eh ... 'live'. but only one can be shown on the display at the time. I want to lock it to a specific one. | 16:17 |
| Pici | askhader: No, that should be fine. | 16:17 |
| CR0W | One more question: is it safe to upgrade from karmic to lucid or would it be better to do a reinstall and if i make an upgrade can I prevent uprader from removing things (as it eg wants to remove xscreensaver) | 16:17 |
| Dr_Willis | askhader: t the usr/bin/env way is more 'system agnostic/correct' :) | 16:17 |
| CR0W | ? | 16:17 |
| askhader | Dr_Willis: Hehe | 16:17 |
| askhader | Well I changed it, it has no effect. The cron job is still being neglecte4d. | 16:17 |

| blendmaster1024 | dajhorn: the problem is that when they switch away from the main kiosk VT, they can log in to the shells in the other VTs | 16:19 |
| Dr_Willis | dv_: check the LFS homepage perhaps.. or just GUess and try #LFS | 16:19 |

| eraggo | seekwill: CPU core temp and... | 16:21 |
| Dr_Willis | dv_: IF you plan on using 'LFS' then you Will need to be reading the LFS guide.. | 16:21 |
| dajhorn | blendmaster1024: There are a variety of ways to handle untrusted users. You may want to look at things like the LTSP. | 16:21 |
| sacarlson | askhader: I should have asked to see what was in you *.pl file but maybe you need this DISPLAY=:0.0 to do xserver stuf | 16:21 |
| askhader | sacarlson: It could be. | 16:21 |

| blendmaster1024 | dajhorn: chroot can't do X last I checked, but also I want to be able to lock someone out of their X session. my idea is to switch them to another VT and then stop them from changing back, then once I'm done locking them out change back. | 16:22 |
| Dr_Willis | uRock: I cant imagine why it would.. | 16:22 |

| area51pilot | :) | 16:25 |
| dogmatic69 | if i do sudo xyz and enter my pw all is good, but trying us <return> enter pw gives auth fail... (im kinda new to linux and dont know what pw that could be) | 16:25 |
| Schmorgluck | I'm considering reverting back to Jaunty, but I'm hesitant on the method | 16:25 |
| dogmatic69 | anyone know... i have been told its the same as sudo but its *not* on my pc | 16:26 |
| eraggo | seekwill: so uhm... temp3 is now 70 degrees and only gnome-terminal in use.. | 16:26 |
| ilovefairuz | d | 16:26 |
| ilovefairuz | !root | dogmatic69 | 16:26 |
| ubottu | dogmatic69: 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 | 16:26 |
| blendmaster1024 | ilovefairuz: a classroom solution similar to lanschool but for linux. I'm trying to replace lanschool because it has huge security holes. | 16:26 |
| askhader | Are there restrictions on what can be in a crontabbed script? | 16:26 |
| askhader | Can system commands be run from with in? | 16:26 |
| dogmatic69 | ilovefairuz: right i see | 16:27 |
| sacarlson | askhader: I get no man on feh | 16:27 |
| Schmorgluck | is there any clean way to downgrade from Karmic to Jaunty without reinstalling completely? | 16:27 |
| askhader | Look, I have nmy script writing the exact command it will execute (system command) and clearly that command is not being executed because it's a valid feh command | 16:27 |
| blendmaster1024 | Schmorgluck: no. | 16:27 |
| eraggo | seekwill: for me (i think) 70 degrees under processors is kind of high | 16:27 |
| Schmorgluck | aww | 16:28 |
| dogmatic69 | ilovefairuz: so how do i see what is in /var/lib/mysql/... | 16:28 |
| Schmorgluck | I guess I'll have to do this overnight, then | 16:28 |
| sacarlson | askhader: so maybe feh need a total path? and or I need the source for that. | 16:28 |
| ilovefairuz | dogmatic69: see what exactly? a list of the files? sudo ls /var/lib/mysql | 16:29 |
| ilovefairuz | dogmatic69: if you want a root shell, sudo -i | 16:29 |
| seekwill | eraggo: What I'm saying is that one of those temps might be the CPU reported temp, from the core itself. The other ones are from sensors on the motherboard | 16:29 |
| Arepie | Hello.. i just finishing installing ubuntu server. why i can't use "unalias" and "cp" command? how can i enable it? | 16:29 |
| look | My network manager has disabled itself and i cannot access the internet with it. | 16:30 |
| dogmatic69 | ilovefairuz: cool thanks | 16:30 |
| dogmatic69 | i was trying sudo cd /var/... :P | 16:30 |
| eraggo | seekwill: oh.. :) thanks. However; do you think i need/can decrease that temperature? | 16:30 |
| blendmaster1024 | dogmatic69: hahahaha | 16:30 |
| dogmatic69 | hey, only been using ubuntu for a week | 16:31 |
| Schmorgluck | because since I upgraded to Karmic, I have many issues, the main one being the complete impossibility to make my video card work properly | 16:31 |
| look | my network manager has stopped working it says that its disabled for some reason but the last time i used ubuntu it was just fine is there anyway i can reenable it? | 16:31 |
| dogmatic69 | how do i "logout" the root shell? | 16:31 |
| blendmaster1024 | use it some more, tell us about it, someone with a sense of command line humor is always needed, dogmatic69 | 16:31 |
| seekwill | eraggo: Are you an EE? | 16:31 |
| dogmatic69 | sudo -i thing? | 16:31 |
| zzzed | dogmatic69, 'exit' | 16:31 |
| look | dogmatic69: type exit | 16:31 |
| eraggo | seekwill: EE? | 16:31 |
| dogmatic69 | cool | 16:31 |
| seekwill | eraggo: Guess that's a no... | 16:32 |
| seekwill | eraggo: Since I'm not one either... how do you or I know what's a good temp for a CPU? | 16:32 |
| ebel | Is there any stock taking software for ubuntu? (pref. some php app) ? | 16:32 |
| dogmatic69 | blendmaster1024: im sure i can keep you lol'ing for a long time | 16:32 |
| dogmatic69 | i have noticed a bug (that is irrtating more than anything) when switching work spaces | 16:32 |
| baltazar2 | Is there a way to download apt-get list and transfer to offline computer and do apt-get update? | 16:32 |
| Schmorgluck | baltazar2, yes | 16:33 |
| Dr_Willis | !clone | baltazar2 | 16:33 |
| dogmatic69 | there is a popup that appears and does not go away till you hover it | 16:33 |
| ubottu | baltazar2: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 16:33 |
| Dr_Willis | baltazar2: and check the aptoncd tool | 16:33 |
| eraggo | seekwill: atleast i know that for my processor manufacturer promises about 75 degrees max temperature. sometimes that temperature has been 81 :/ | 16:33 |
| sacarlson | seekwill: cold but over 0c | 16:33 |
| Dr_Willis | baltazar2: or cheat and copy over the /var/cache/apt/ dir :() but that can also be large | 16:33 |
| ilovefairuz | !aptoncd | baltazar2 | 16:34 |
| ubottu | baltazar2: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline | 16:34 |
| Zombie | Does anyone know how to tell Ubuntu to manually set the refresh rate to 60 Hz? | 16:34 |
| baltazar2 | dr_willis: nice Ill try that first | 16:34 |
| eraggo | (and without load) | 16:34 |
| Dr_Willis | baltazar2: i set up a home lan and let one pc work as the apt-cacher machine. | 16:34 |

| blendmaster1024 | ilovefairuz: thank you thank you I've wondered what that was called for weeks | 16:34 |
| sacarlson | Zombie: I think in System>preference>monitor | 16:34 |
| seekwill | eraggo: Well, then in that case, I'd find out what that temp really means then. | 16:34 |

| Arepie | anyone knows, how to use "unalias cp rm mv"? because im facing an error.. | 16:38 |
| blendmaster1024 | ilovefairuz: someone sitting next to me wants to know if there is a mormon remix | 16:38 |
| ilovefairuz | Arepie: paste command and error | 16:38 |
| ilovefairuz | blendmaster1024: there could be, i don't know | 16:38 |
| dajhorn | Arepie: `cp`, `rm`, and `mv` are not aliased in a default Ubuntu installation. | 16:39 |
| Arepie | ilovefairuz: command: unalias cp rm mv --> output: -bash: unalias: cp: not found, -bash: unalias: rm: not found, -bash: unalias: mv: not found | 16:39 |
| ilovefairuz | Arepie: what are you trying to accomplish ? | 16:40 |
| saml | how do i do screencast? | 16:40 |
| dajhorn | Arepie: Pastebin the output of `alias` by itself. This will show you the currently defined aliases in your shell. | 16:40 |
| bastidrazor | Arepie: just like dajhorn said. they are not aliased to begin with and hence why you're getting 'not found' | 16:40 |
| Pici | !screencast | saml | 16:40 |
| ubottu | saml: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Xvidcap, pyvnc2swf. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. | 16:40 |
| saml | kthx | 16:41 |
| Arepie | dajhorn: i see.. so i need to modified the script -_-. Thanks for the info | 16:41 |
| Schmorgluck | I'm reluctant to go for a full reinstall that would take hours, but I'm growing desperate : I haven't been able to find any way to make my video card work properly since I upgraded to Karmic, and I've been searching for a long time | 16:41 |
| ilovefairuz | Arepie: what script are you using? some scripts do this to ensure that they will run the standard utilities with no added options, if so, just ignore the error | 16:42 |
| ilovefairuz | Schmorgluck: what ubuntu version are you using and pastebin: sudo lshw -C display? | 16:43 |
| dajhorn | Schmorgluck: If youre Karmic system is busted, then you should try your luck with Lucid. In-place downgrades are very difficult. | 16:43 |
| Arepie | ilovefairuz: some script from cisecurity. im hardening my server. | 16:43 |
| * dajhorn cringes at his 'youre' | 16:43 | |
| ilovefairuz | Arepie: that unalias line should be harmless | 16:44 |
| tjubaluba | can one break/resume a kernel build (using dpkg-buildpackage) .. maybe by using the "-nc" flag? | 16:44 |
| Arepie | ilovefairuz: yup, maybe. But there are some logic i need to re-script.. | 16:45 |

| nibbier | hi. how would i install a completely encrypted ubuntu nbr? | 16:48 |
| ilovefairuz | Schmorgluck: and what's your issue with it? | 16:48 |
| gp5st | i have a system which keeps getting file system problems. I'm not sure why. The smart status seems to be OK. Why would the filesystem become inconsistent every few weeks? | 16:49 |
| blendmaster1024 | how would I, as the sysadmin, lock someone out of a running X session? | 16:49 |
| joey__ | where can i post sysdiag info? just did a fresh 10.4 install, loaded tons of stuff & upgrade-manager, gdm kept dieing, then did today's kernel upgrade and now grub can find' some files in /lib...best support place to ask? | 16:49 |
| dajhorn | gp5st: Is it actually an inconsistency, or is it a regular check? By default, a Ubuntu computer will run fsck every few weeks and every few mounts. | 16:49 |
| Schmorgluck | ilovefairuz, I can't make anything involving 3D run anymore | 16:50 |
| zulax | if i want x.com to show x.com/index.php?id=5, but still want the browser to show x.com, how should the htaccess be | 16:50 |
| ilovefairuz | gp5st: download the vendor's disk check bootable cd and run it | 16:50 |
| ilovefairuz | blendmaster1024: kill Xorg | 16:51 |
| tjubaluba | can one break/resume a kernel build (using dpkg-buildpackage) .. ctrl-c to stop.... and maybe using the "-nc" flag, to resume? | 16:51 |
| blendmaster1024 | ilovefairuz: I suppose ... | 16:51 |
| gp5st | ilovefairuz: i didn't know those existed. how can i tell what the vendor of a disk is w/o opening the machine | 16:51 |
| nibbier | blendmaster1024, use who to find his pts/tty whatever and fuser -k /dev/ttyXX | 16:51 |
| home | hi, how can I set gnome-keyring to be opened without password prompt when using gdm autologin? | 16:52 |
| blendmaster1024 | I want to lock them out, not kick them out | 16:52 |
| blendmaster1024 | in other words I wanna be able to let them back in to the same session later | 16:52 |
| gp5st | dajhorn: actual inconsistencies that happen while running and kill procs and force the fs to be r/o | 16:52 |
| ilovefairuz | gp5st: what's the first few letters of the disk identifier in palimpsest ? | 16:52 |
| nibbier | blendmaster1024, oh sorry, is there a difference? | 16:52 |
| sacarlson | blendmaster1024: don't you already have the solution? | 16:52 |
| dajhorn | gp5st: Run memtest from the Ubuntu boot menu. | 16:52 |
| nibbier | blendmaster1024, back to their old session, after logging out? that ould not be locked out | 16:52 |
| blendmaster1024 | sacarlson: no | 16:53 |
| blendmaster1024 | yours is a good idea, but it doesn't quite work right | 16:53 |
| dajhorn | gp5st: and watch the /var/log/messages files for disk IO and CPU errors like segfaults and dumps. | 16:53 |
| sacarlson | blendmaster1024: what part is missing? the let back in part? | 16:53 |
| Schmorgluck | ilovefairuz, and sorry, I was mistaken, I'm under Lucid | 16:53 |

| ilovefairuz | Schmorgluck: did you try the binary drivers? not sure if it supports your card, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI | 16:56 |

| dajhorn | ilovefairuz, Schmorgluck: fglrx release notes say that the IGP 320 become unsupported near the 8 release. A solution could be to use the newer/newish 'radeon' driver. | 17:00 |
| nibbier | sacarlson, ah okay ;-) | 17:00 |
| abys | hello people , can somebody tell me what to choose , denyhost or fail2ban .. | 17:01 |
| nibbier | blendmaster1024, then you need to write a application that blacks the screen, like screensaver, without the password-input stuff. and start/kill it yourself | 17:01 |
| nibbier | abys, chose life | 17:01 |
| ilovefairuz | Schmorgluck: the Free/open source 'radeon' driver (that your card currently uses) has only a partial/limited support for 3d | 17:01 |

| Dr_Willis | whosjose: if you think the linux install is some how breaking the cd.. you could delete all the linux parittions, and even use dd to zero the hard drive.. making it totally unallocatged/unformated | 17:16 |

| erdnase | Goooood day. I'm using xubuntu and I installed (more like added) the ubuntu studio desktop thingy. Will that affect my laptop's performance in a bad way? | 17:17 |
| dajhorn | ilovefairuz: It makes them more likely to return to Ubuntu. | 17:17 |
| whosjose | Dr_Willis: I believe if I can reformat the hard drive to at least a fat32 or ntfs it will work. | 17:17 |
| ilovefairuz | dajhorn: that's debatable .. | 17:17 |
| sacarlson | whosjose: so what is stoping you? with a windows cd you ca do just that | 17:18 |
| dajhorn | whosjose: The part number is stamped on the front of the CD-ROM like ABC-12345. It sounds like you have a burned copy, which is a no-go. | 17:18 |
| Dr_Willis | whosjose: thats easially done... I would suggest you grab a live linux cd or 2 BEFOR you try all this. in case you need an OS to get to the internet with | 17:18 |

| xenon_ | hi, is there anyone with knowledge about openoffice base? I created a database I have a from which I use as a view to insert data. Now I need to export to pdf ALL the pages of all the records in the same document. | 17:19 |
| randomOfAmber | erdnase: it'll add more stuff, so less hdd space, and if you run more programs, it might be slower (possibly yes) | 17:19 |

| Schmorgluck | I have another question: a few months ago, I bought some two 512 Mo memory modules to extend my laptop's memory to 1Go, but my computer doesn't seem to be aware that said memory modules are 512 Mo instead of the former 256 | 17:20 |
| dajhorn | abem: If the scanner appears in the list, then you have a driver for it. Try an alternate program like Xsane, or Gimp. | 17:20 |
| erdnase | randomOfAmber, but other than that, i won't notice any... loss of speed, yes? | 17:20 |
| Schmorgluck | is there anything I should do to correct that? | 17:20 |
| Dr_Willis | sacarlson: I imagine he mnay be back and stuck with No OS at all... having them get a Live cd NOW that they can use.. may save trouble later. :) | 17:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Schmorgluck: check the laptop makers bios/forums/homepage there may be updates.. or it may be a limit of the laptops design | 17:21 |
| Schmorgluck | Dr_Willis, theoretically, the limit is 1Go, but you're right, I should check out there | 17:22 |
| dajhorn | Schmorgluck: You said that your computer had a Mobility U1 in it, which means that it was manufactured near 2005 or earlier. It is entirely likely that the chipset has a small limit like that. | 17:22 |
| kpettit | does ubuntu have a default desktop search like tracker? Was wondering what the best one is for a large set of files (500-750k files) | 17:22 |

| === marius is now known as Guest89597 | ||
| Guest89597 | What command do I have to type to remove xfce? | 17:26 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest89597: fire up the package manager and search for and remove all packages that have xfce in their names perhaps.. | 17:27 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest89597: its often easier to install.. then to remove these large XXXXXX-desktop meta packages | 17:27 |
| rocket16 | Is there a way to switch to a particular workspace automatically, after Ubuntu starts? | 17:27 |

| Dr_Willis | I would like to see4 some more 'work and polish' done in the area of having more then one XYZ-desktop installed on a system at a time.. It can get.. awkward and quirky at times if you have kubuntu and ubuntu and xubuntu all on a box at the same time. | 17:29 |
| Guest89597 | Seems like the terminal is deleting files, thanks | 17:29 |

| samir | hi | 18:08 |
| Dr_Willis | mame is Very picky about where the files are located at. | 18:09 |
| Magnetro | lol, i'm trying to break out of that Dr. Willis, and I know. | 18:09 |
| Magnetro | So since i'm guessing there aren't any frontend m.a.m.e reconmmended, what about the commandline? | 18:09 |
| Dr_Willis | the gnome mame front end worked well i recall. Theres proberly dozens of mame front ends out there. many not in the repos | 18:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Magnetro: what about the command line... use it.. | 18:10 |
| Dr_Willis | mame romname (if its installed in the right place) | 18:10 |
| Magnetro | Don't know how, i'm only weeks old on Unbuntu | 18:10 |
| Dr_Willis | or was it xmame (i forget now) | 18:10 |
| Magnetro | kxmame | 18:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Magnetro: time to hit the mame homepage and man pages. odds are you are missconfiguring kxmame i am guessing | 18:11 |
| Dr_Willis | everything MUST be in its proper places for mame to find the files it needs. | 18:11 |
| Magnetro | k' let me pull that up then. | 18:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Magnetro: you DO have the proper game roms? | 18:11 |

| cardamon_ | anyone run qemu? which packages do I need? I'm grabbing qemu launcher, but should I grab qemu too? it's description says "Dummy transitional package to kvm-qemu" Not familiar with your package system so I'm only guessing that that means it'll redirect to right package. | 18:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Magnetro: you did tell it to 'audit' the games/roms ? | 18:12 |
| Magnetro | Honestly, I haven't touched the configs. | 18:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Magnetro: time to check the kxmame docs and config settings then. | 18:13 |
| Magnetro | It's not as simple as the Zsnes which I have working w/e sound tho oddly | 18:13 |

| jrib | -how | 18:25 |
| zachary | jrib, a bit | 18:25 |
| zachary | jrib, i tried g++ file file.cpp | 18:25 |
| zachary | jrib, but no luck | 18:25 |
| jrib | zachary: install build-essential, cd to the directory with the .cpp file, g++ -o NAME_OF_OUTPUT file.cpp, ./NAME_OF_OUTPUT | 18:25 |
| StevenX | Hello. I think there is something wrong with my hard drive. What utility can I use to check / repair it? (I'm running Ubuntu off a CD-ROM). | 18:26 |
| ectospasm | zachary: try "g++ -o file file.cpp" | 18:26 |
| StevenX | The Disk Utility that comes with Ubuntu is not finding any errors. | 18:26 |
| ectospasm | StevenX: it may not be a problem with the disk, but the filesystem could have errors. Try fsck | 18:26 |
| zachary | ectospasm, i tried it but nothing ran | 18:27 |
| zachary | just took me to the next line prompt | 18:27 |
| ectospasm | zachary: it won't have any output if it succeeds. | 18:27 |
| sothe | Travis_42, I have the same problem, bearly notise when i get a msg | 18:27 |
| zachary | ectospasm, so if i have a program that does cout >>"hello"; where will it show? | 18:28 |
| StevenX | ectospasm, I will try that. | 18:28 |
| StevenX | How do I remove a directory using the terminal? | 18:28 |
| jrib | zachary: g++ compiles, it doesn't run your program | 18:28 |
| zachary | jrib, ah | 18:28 |
| ectospasm | zachary: it will show in the linux shell (standard output), but you have to run the command. Like "./file" | 18:28 |
| Travis_42 | sothe: so, nothing that can be done? is there anything better? | 18:28 |
| jrib | zachary: after you run g++, you'll see a new file (a.out if you didn't specify a name with -o), so you run that | 18:28 |
| zachary | jrib, so what is command to run the .out file? | 18:29 |
| sothe | Travis_42, I don't know any way:/ | 18:29 |
| ectospasm | zachary: ./a.out | 18:29 |

| StevenX | ectospasm, can fsck only check linux filesystems? | 18:29 |
| zachary | ectospasm, i dont even see a .out file in the directory | 18:29 |
| jrib | zachary: because you specified a name using -o... | 18:30 |
| ectospasm | zachary: not a .out, a.out | 18:30 |
| ectospasm | if you run it with the -o option like I said, in your example it would be an executable file named "file" | 18:30 |
| zachary | ectospasm, when i run ./a.out nothing happens | 18:30 |
| blendmaster1024 | my dpkg is broken - http://pastebin.com/C6i12p0B | 18:31 |

| blendmaster1024 | anyone have any clue why that file is missing? | 18:31 |
| zachary | ectospasm, so when it complies it wont give me any errors? | 18:31 |
| ectospasm | StevenX: fsck only runs on Linux filesystems, unless there's a fsck.vfat or fsck.ntfs or something | 18:32 |
| Belias | my university wifi uses smart filter, and it prevents torrent, how can i bypass it? | 18:32 |

| zachary | ectospasm, does dev++ have the compiler already in it so i just have to hit build/run and it does it for me? | 18:33 |
| ectospasm | Belias: you would probably be violating your university's Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). I won't help you do that. | 18:33 |
| ectospasm | zachary: I don't know what dev++ is | 18:33 |
| zachary | ectospasm, IDE | 18:33 |
| blendmaster1024 | errr ... sorry to break the fun, but c++ is offtopic for #ubuntu, try #c++ | 18:34 |
| ectospasm | zachary: there are a BAZILLION IDEs, most have a compile/link/run step. Consult your class notes or dev++ documentation | 18:34 |

I would like to make sure I get it working in a way that the update manager is aware of it so I don't have to hand-patch it in the future (if possible). I have installed sl-modem-daemon but no joy yet, needs something else before starting successfully. gnome ppp still sees no modem device. Ideas anyone? | 18:47 |

| pfifo | ohh poo, you got my hopes up | 18:49 |
| aeon-ltd | Roasted_: copy. | 18:49 |

| doncams | i'm downloading ubuntu desktop edition. what's the diff with i386 and amd64? sorry, i'm ignorant with these | 18:52 |
| mickster04 | thomass: what seems to be your problem | 18:52 |
| jrib | tman: changeg the domain name in your sources.list | 18:52 |
| Besogon | doncams, It depends on your processor | 18:52 |
| dausmus | Any SL-MODEM gurus here right now? | 18:52 |
| aeon-ltd | doncams: 32 and 64bit | 18:52 |
| thomass | doncams, amd is for 64 bit processors and x86 is for 32bit | 18:52 |
| doncams | i have core2duo 32bit | 18:52 |
| thomass | doncams, are you sure its 32 bit? i thought those duos were all 64bit | 18:53 |
| jrib | doncams: they made 32bit core2duos? | 18:53 |
| Besogon | doncams, you need i386 edition | 18:53 |
| mickster04 | doncams: you want i386 then | 18:53 |
| doncams | sorry let me check | 18:53 |
| thomass | arent all core 2 duo's 64 bit? | 18:53 |
| aeon-ltd | thomass: yes | 18:53 |
| jrib | thomass: that's what I thought | 18:53 |
| thomass | go with amd64 then | 18:53 |
| doncams | core2duo System type: 32-bit Operating System | 18:54 |
| mickster04 | doncams: eitherway i386 will definatley work :P | 18:54 |
| * undifined has a 3.9 ghz xeon, which is em64t, so basically a dual 32 bit machine | 18:54 | |
| aeon-ltd | doncams: your os is 32bit not your cpu | 18:54 |
| doncams | ohhhh | 18:54 |
| tracy69 | whats different between i386 and i686 ? | 18:54 |
| mickster04 | thomass: so do you have a problem with browsing your network? | 18:55 |
| pfifo | tracy69, 300 | 18:55 |
| aeon-ltd | tracy69: i386 - compiled for one core, i686 compiled for 2 cpus | 18:55 |
| mickster04 | tracy69: implentation number | 18:55 |
| thomass | doncams, you can run either one you want. 64bit may be a better choice | 18:55 |
| mickster04 | aeon-ltd: really? i thought i saw i486 once? | 18:55 |
| dausmus | Ok then nobody on with sl-modem expertise, next question: Does anybody know the Ubuntu development status of the SL-MODEM stuff? Did not seem to install by default so I installed the daemon using software center, hand started it in init.d but no joy... who should I talk to about this? | 18:55 |
| thomass | mickster04, yes. when i click on windows network, it returns the error: | 18:55 |
| doncams | ok thomas | 18:55 |
| aeon-ltd | tracy69: wait no i'm wrong, they are just compiled differently to take advantages of different cpu types | 18:55 |

| drupalne | hello, i am a newbie on ubuntu,, im using Ubuntu 9.04 / Linux version 2.6.28-19 server, i have my broadcom 5786 (VEN = 14E4 | DEV = 4727) i am seeking a driver for that network adapter, anyone can lead the way? | 19:05 |
| thomass | drupalne, try a search for the b43 driver. it may cover your driver. | 19:06 |

| thomass | drupalne, ill do a search quick and see if i find anything | 19:07 |
| drupalne | thomass ty, im also diong that now as i can see that they have drivers near to the DEV and VER but i did not find the exact one till now.. | 19:07 |

| drupalne | yes as a matter effect i found something called Linux tg3 i downloaded it but i dont know what oes tg3 mean.. | 19:08 |

| crekarasu | hi ! I installed ubuntu but o don't know sudo password ! anyone can help me ? | 19:09 |
| jrib | !sudo | crekarasu | 19:09 |
| thomass | drupalne, i think tg3 is the archive file extension | 19:09 |
| ubottu | crekarasu: 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.

| thomass | drupalne, try this http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/driver-sla.php?driver=570x-Linux | 19:10 |
| pfifo | !gksu | 19:10 |
| jrib | Oins: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ureadahead/+bug/484677 might be helpful | 19:10 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 19:10 |
| _raven_ | when will be released ARDOUR with MIDI ? | 19:10 |
| thomass | drupalne, that is the direct link to the download for your driver | 19:11 |
| jrib | Oins: and I meant, to try to run an older kernel | 19:11 |
| drupalne | thomass great i downloaded it and i've opened it, i found many files in it including an .rpm extension file | 19:11 |
| thomass | drupalne, extract the files and read the readme | 19:12 |

| thomass | drupalne, extract the tar.gz file that is inside the orignal archive | 19:13 |
| jrib | Oins: what exactly did you try from the bug report? | 19:13 |
| drupalne | thomass i will do that, i saw smt called Building Driver From TAR File also | 19:13 |
| ax | anyone have info about how to use gnome-keyring-manager or ssh-agent in a non-gnome window manager started via gdm? | 19:13 |
| thomass | drupalne, read that. everything you need is in that archive | 19:13 |
| drupalne | aight | 19:14 |
| Polysics | heeeeeeelp | 19:14 |
| delac | does anyone have any idead why AT+CREG? might give you +CREG:0,5 immediately after AT+COPS=0 (which should reset the modem) on some carriers? | 19:14 |
| Oins | jrib: the old kernel the problem is that i can't try a lot, cause i got no shell | 19:14 |
| jrib | Polysics: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) | 19:14 |
| thomass | drupalne, i would be hppy to keep helping you, but i have to leave for football practice | 19:14 |
| Polysics | i accidentally chmodded the whole of /usr | 19:14 |
| jrib | Oins: the bug report suggests an older kernel? | 19:14 |
| Polysics | which apparently blew up quite a bit of things | 19:14 |
| drupalne | thomass ow.. ty and well good game | 19:14 |
| thomass | would someone help drupalne build and install a driver from source code? | 19:14 |
| jrib | Polysics: reinstall | 19:14 |
| jrib | drupalne: what driver...? | 19:14 |
| drupalne | jrib wirless driver, broadcom | 19:15 |
| jrib | drupalne: system -> administration -> hardware drivers | 19:15 |
| thomass | jrib, he has the source file in an archive | 19:15 |
| drupalne | :) | 19:15 |
| drupalne | thomass ty | 19:15 |
| drupalne | jrib im in there now | 19:15 |

| thomass | drupalne, no problem! have a great day | 19:15 |
| drupalne | thomass ty! same to u! | 19:16 |
| jrib | Oins: right, but I'm telling you to review the bug as one of the comments towards the end suggests there is a workaround in the dupe | 19:16 |
| Besogon | When do we need ip forwarding? | 19:16 |

| Polysics | oh no :-( | 19:18 |
| drupalne | jrib no need to know what is cloudera bro.. i just want to know how to install the rpm / .tar.giz files that i downloaded to make the wireless adapter work | 19:18 |
| jrib | drupalne: read ubottu's link I guess. However, I recommend you install ubuntu 10.04 as you should just get the broadcom STA driver in Hardware Drivers then | 19:18 |

| drupalne | jrib i see this documentation is for a newer version of ubuntu, can u please help me with the installation of the driver that i downloaded | 19:20 |
| jrib | drupalne: no | 19:20 |
| jrib | drupalne: view the page's history if that's really true... | 19:20 |
| bludog_anchorite | tftp works to "get". need to be able to "put" w/o creating a file on the /tftpboot first | 19:20 |

| eblume | bludog_anchorite: the Ubuntu community doc is a bit thin: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC/Provisioning/TFTP | 19:28 |
| bludog_anchorite | strange thing is i have it working just fine in 8.04, but 10.04 w/ the same config is different somehow | 19:28 |

| muellisoft | asdzek: that's a highly windows specific issue. So you won't find an answer in here. | 19:31 |
| === muellisoft is now known as Muelli | ||
| xangua | asdzek: don't thinks is possible besides it has nothing to do with ubuntu | 19:32 |

| eblume | asdzek: you'll probably want the usb-creater package but I don't know if that package is ubuntu-specific. | 19:32 |
| xangua | eblume: that's only for linux distros | 19:32 |
| bludog_anchorite | it gives me permission errors if i try to "put" without logging into the server first and "touch"ing the file | 19:32 |
| asdzek | are you kidding me? making bootable USB stick is "highly windows specific issue"? | 19:32 |
| Arepie | Hi, i have ubuntu server as my guess OS via vmware from my win7. Im in a LAN network with router. How could i manage to let other user ssh my server? | 19:33 |

| bludog_anchorite | pfifo: or in the case of tftpd-hpa, i get a "error code 1: file not found" | 19:34 |
| dajhorn | Arepie: You must also install the openssh-server package. | 19:34 |
| pfifo | bludog_anchorite, dose your tftpd support file uploads? | 19:34 |
| eblume | Arepie: I can confirm dajhorn's response, you're looking for bridged networking. If your host was a linux distro you'd want the 'bridge-tools' package. | 19:35 |
| bludog_anchorite | pfifo: it does if i create the file on the server first. then it will update the file | 19:35 |

| dajhorn | Arepie: Welcome. | 19:36 |
| mlaci | mickster04, no. i've already checked that out and i cannot found it | 19:37 |

| drupalne | eblume The driver will be compiled for the running kernel by default. To build the driver for a kernel different than the running one, specify the kernel by defining it in KVER: make KVER=<kernel version> | 19:58 |
| drupalne | eblume there is no "src" i guess they mean by that, the newly created file | 19:58 |
| Crankygeek01 | I am trying to configure a VNC server to start up when I boot the machine, I don't want to have to log into the computer to be able to connect remotely.....that way I can remotely reboot and still be able to log in...Any ideas? | 19:58 |
| martez89 | I removed the ppa | 19:58 |
| eblume | drupalne: whatever folder has the Makefile, that's the folder you want to run make in. | 19:58 |
| martez89 | but not with ppa-purge | 19:58 |
| drupalne | eblume the new file is tg3-3.110g this it its ls : ChangeLog , LICENSE , Makefile , makeflags.sh , README.TXT , tg3.4 , tg3.c , tg3_compat2.h , tg3_compat.h , tg3_firmware.h , tg3.h , tg3_vmware.c , tg3_vmware.h == no tg3.o or tg3.ko in it | 19:58 |
| eblume | drupalne: did you run make yet? tg3.[ko,o] won't exist until you do. | 19:59 |
| pfifo | bludog_anchorite, at this point you have 2 tftpd serves installed, are you sure that you are running the right program? | 19:59 |
| drupalne | oh ok | 19:59 |
| eblume | drupalne: make will "make" those files. | 19:59 |
| eblume | (well technically cc will - but make runs cc) | 19:59 |
| drupalne | eblume it gave me alot of no such directory | 19:59 |
| martez89 | so is there any other option? | 20:00 |
| eblume | drupalne: can you point me to the source you are trying to build? Where can I get this file? | 20:00 |
| drupalne | eblume http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/driver-sla.php?driver=570x-Linux | 20:00 |

| glaksmono | any idea what's the problem with this? http://pastebin.com/s1iknKMr | 20:02 |
| pfifo | bludog_anchorite, you should uninstall the other tftp packages and have only one installed on that machine. | 20:02 |
| === pbarros is now known as turt1e | ||
| martez89 | i found some unity packages | 20:03 |
| martez89 | ill remove themn | 20:03 |
| bludog_anchorite | pfifo: only one tftp server is installed per pc here. i think we misunderstood eachother | 20:03 |
| eblume | drupalne: it worked fine for me. I downloaded that file, unzipped it. I changed directory to "Server/Linux/Driver". I expanded the "tg3-3.110g.tar.gz" archive (archives in an archive? Yuck!) | 20:03 |
| delemi | NickServ set email delemi@gmail.com | 20:03 |
| eblume | drupalne: I changed in to that new expanded archive and ran "make" | 20:03 |
| ChogyDan | glaksmono: does the directory exist? maybe it doesnt | 20:04 |
| pm2 | I've having an unusual problem with Yahoo messenger on my network. I'm using a linux firewall to do NAT, that right now does not block any traffic. We're having trouble receiving messages over yahoo messenger on some internal computers, when the messages originate from outside the network. Is there any chance that its firewall related? We're just using iptables on the latest ubuntu | 20:04 |

| Oins | i installed ubuntu desktop on an usb-stick. after booting i tried to install lvm2, but there are many errors. is there a liveCD where lvm2 is already installed? | 20:05 |
| eblume | drupalne: No worries. Unless we're seeing drastically different things for some reason, this is a very common Linux operation, so knowing how to do it is important. I'll be glad to walk you through it. | 20:05 |
| martez89 | Also I have a problem with deluge, everytime I start it (autostart with ubuntu) a lot of torrents are stuck on checking. | 20:05 |

| sivas | How come when I start my computer, grub loads to a terminal instead of the menu? | 20:08 |

| shuman | Moral_: maybe man find can help | 20:08 |
| drupalne | eblume sure but i deleted the inner files and cut those inner files in the main folder: Server | 20:08 |

| Soulsaker | hi all, I need to remove someone in a photo, how i can? | 20:09 |

| Oins | dajhorn: ok thank you! | 20:09 |
| eblume | drupalne: so just to be sure, you're saying you moved the file called tg3-3.110g.tar.gz up to the Server directory? | 20:09 |

| mattt_ | i686 isn't necessarily 64-bit | 20:13 |
| tracy79 | <xangua> i dont think so i installed 32 ver of ubuntu and it show i686 | 20:13 |

| tracy79 | mattt_, what do you mean by 386 and newer ? | 20:15 |
| pfifo | if / is my c:\ drive then what is my A:\ drive? | 20:15 |
| jrib | pfifo: / isn't your c: drive | 20:15 |
| mattt_ | tracy79: The 386 was one of intel's earlier CPUs.. circa 1985 | 20:16 |
| mattt_ | i386 stuff would be compiled to run on that architecture (so it'd work on later intel archs) | 20:16 |
| tracy79 | ok even when i install ubuntu 32 and it detect i have q9000 it will install i686 right? | 20:16 |
| jrib | pfifo: forget about windows, / is the roof of your filesystem and partitions get mounted to directories... | 20:16 |

| ZykoticK9 | AaronMT, ChosenOne, pipeep don't talk about it! don't make comments | 20:33 |
| Pici | Its already been taken care of. I now return you to your regularly scheduled support channel. | 20:33 |

| Nirkus | dajhorn: for my NTFS partitions, my user is able to mount them, but my girlfriends account is required to give my accounts pw | 20:34 |
| Vagrant_ | Please help. You guys and ubuntu forums are ignoring me. Using the default "Keyboard Shortcuts" GUI in Ubuntu 10.04 I want to make it so that when I press Ctrl+Q it outputs Alt+Home. Does anyone know how to do this? | 20:34 |
| mickster04 | Vagrant_: i dont think thats possible using the GUI | 20:34 |
| SOS | can someone tell me how to md5checksum my ubuntu cd with the windows version? jrib told me to do it like it was possible, but all I see this utility is capable of is files, not drives | 20:34 |
| Shogoot | Anyone know of a downloadmanager that will work on ubuntu with Chrome? | 20:34 |
| Muelli | Vagrant_: xmodmap | 20:34 |
| Nirkus | mbroeker: dajhorn it's a primary partition on a AHCI SATA drive | 20:35 |
| Muelli | Shogoot: wget | 20:35 |
| coz_ | eshannon, ok not sure how to set totem and vlc for video I only use mplayer | 20:35 |
| benbloom | I'm curious, what's all that "you make the shameless look good" stuff about? | 20:35 |
| Pici | SOS: When you boot off the CD there should be an option there to verify the disk, | 20:35 |
| Muelli | SOS: md5sum will happily checksum a drive as well | 20:35 |
| pfifo | SOS, boot from the CD and select the option to verify the contents | 20:35 |
| Shogoot | Muelli, ill take a look, thanks | 20:35 |
| SOS | Pici: I can't boot off the cd. This is why I was told to md5checksum LOL | 20:35 |
| Hounddog | i don't know where to start somehow... is still showing "loading operating system..." since 10 minutes and not doing anything | 20:35 |
| ReadPlease | Did anybody get that Q I loaded up earlier about the kernel? | 20:36 |
| pfifo | SOS, md5sum on a CDROM is not possible without a 3rd party tool | 20:36 |
| dajhorn | Nirkus: Remember that you need to explicitly dismount an NTFS volume in Nautilus before you change user accounts, or the device will be unavailable for the second user. | 20:36 |
| eshannon | Thanks I will go check out my other computers that work and see what the difference is | 20:36 |
| ReadPlease | not sure which kernel to select -- | 20:36 |
| Muelli | Hounddog: it's because it found a windows partition and is ashamed... Just messing. Are you trying to boot your regularly installed ubuntu off a hard drive? | 20:36 |
| ReadPlease | Jeeze, dude. Every time I type something 5 people type. | 20:36 |
| Hounddog | Muelli yes, i just installed it fresh and that is a brand new system. | 20:36 |

| pfifo | Muelli, windows dose not support the dev filesystem | 20:37 |
| __cool__ | Muelli: not in windos | 20:37 |
| Muelli | Hounddog: hm. I'm sorry for you. Could you press Escape and see whether it prints anything? | 20:37 |
| ChogyDan | ReadPlease: the latest? | 20:37 |
| ReadPlease | Dude, sotp making more bots talk, mickster04! Jeeze | 20:37 |
| Muelli | pfifo: oh, on windows. Sorry. I don't know anything about that | 20:37 |
| SOS | You know, I've gotten 3 seperate versions of ubuntu over the years, pressed CDs, and not a one has ever worked right. I think the subset of hardware ubuntu actually works on without tons of issues is TINY | 20:37 |
| Hounddog | Muelli nothing | 20:37 |
| triplc | hi all | 20:37 |
| dajhorn | Nirkus: If you want more than one user to access an internal NTFS disk, then you almost certainly want an /etc/fstab entry. Doing it any other way is too much unnecessary work. | 20:37 |
| ni| | hi, i have my monitors in portrait mode -- however it seems like the system is really slow on rendering -- like each line that comes in on my irssi window requires a full (visual) re render of the screen | 20:37 |
| acalbaza | where can i find glib2 package in the repo? | 20:37 |
| ReadPlease | ChogyDan, I'm on a virtual machine running a P4, and I'm trying to pick between virtual, generic, and 386 | 20:37 |
| SOS | perhaps the devs should slow down and make quality releases | 20:37 |
| triplc | how to get wine1.3? the stable version, not betas on ppa? | 20:37 |
| ReadPlease | I don't think a p4 is a 386.... | 20:38 |
| ReadPlease | But that's what I'm defaulting to. | 20:38 |
| pfifo | SOS, burn another copy, and use your recording to to verify burned contents after the session is done | 20:38 |
| ni| | this re-render is usual but it being visual is not | 20:38 |
| Hounddog | i heard of slow starting operating systems but this beats everything lol... just kidding... nether had problems with linux/ubuntu otherwise | 20:38 |
| Muelli | Hounddog: hm. weird. Well. You can just retry by powercycling the machine. if that doesn't work, we can modify boot parameters, i.e. remove "splash" option. | 20:38 |
| ChogyDan | ReadPlease: I think just generic | 20:38 |
| * triplc using lucid | 20:38 | |
| ni| | anyone running portrait mode? | 20:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | eshannon, the solution to the blue video with nvidia is on this page http://www.wiredrevolution.com/ubuntu/fix-blue-tinted-video-in-ubuntu | 20:38 |
| ReadPlease | well what's 'virtual'? | 20:38 |
| mickster04 | ReadPlease: i think yyou'll find this is a very busy channel, there aren't many bots apart from the flood team and ubottu so just chill out | 20:38 |
| dajhorn | ReadPlease: No, a Pentium 4 is indeed an i386. You need the -386, -generic, or -virtual kernel. | 20:38 |
| Muelli | acalbaza: apt-cache search glib | 20:38 |
| triplc | how to get wine1.3? the stable version, not betas on ppa? (i am using lucid) | 20:38 |
| __cool__ | ni|: this is because most gfx drivers have *no* hardware acceleration in the 'turned' modes | 20:38 |
| Hounddog | Muelli but how, this comes directly after the hd check... i don't even think grub is loaded by then | 20:38 |
| Shogoot | Muelli, seems i alredy got wget on 10.4. how do i use it up against chrome? | 20:38 |
| Muelli | triplc: follow instructions on the Wine website as to how to build Wine. | 20:39 |
| Muelli | Shogoot: wget --continue $URL | 20:39 |
| Nirkus | dajhorn: i just need one user to be able to mount that NTFS drive at any time | 20:39 |
| Vagrant_ | Muelli: can you walk me through doing it? | 20:39 |
| dajhorn | ReadPlease: The -virtual kernel is optimized for things like VMware and Xen. It has fewer drivers for real hardware and is packaged as a subset variant of the regular kernel. | 20:39 |
| ReadPlease | I thought it was a 686. | 20:39 |
| Hounddog | and i just reinstalled again as i thought there migt be something that went wrong during install | 20:39 |
| triplc | Muelli: ok, so build! | 20:39 |
| ChogyDan | triplc: the latest stable looks like 1.2 | 20:39 |
| Nirkus | dajhorn: but i cant even mount it as the girlfriends user directly after booting | 20:39 |
| Muelli | Hounddog: that's weird. | 20:39 |
| dajhorn | Nirkus: The best solution for an internal disk is to leave it mounted all the time. Rather, why does it need to be dismounted? | 20:39 |
| Coronade | I'm quite pleased with my IRC client, I've been idling here for 16+ hours and have had no bugs :) | 20:39 |
| __cool__ | ni|: i have not tried, but in theory it could be faster when running compiz, then the 3d drivers could to the rotating... i only used the portrait modes for texting, where it didn't matter | 20:39 |
| dajhorn | Nirkus: Okay, you've confirmed what I suggested earlier. | 20:40 |
| Coronade | so.. who wants to buy my IRC client? | 20:40 |
| Coronade | it rules.. | 20:40 |
| ni| | __cool__: i use it for programming | 20:40 |
| Muelli | Vagrant_: Probably not. I already forgot what you were asking. | 20:40 |
| ReadPlease | or... i mean 786 | 20:40 |

| SOS | my connection is far too slow to download the iso | 20:40 |
| ni| | __cool__: this isn't a built in card -- its an ATI running drm from KMS | 20:40 |
| SOS | ugh | 20:40 |
| SOS | this is why I got the cd in the first place | 20:40 |
| ReadPlease | So, because I am using a VM, I should use the -virtual kernel rather than the -generic kernel? :D | 20:40 |
| Nirkus | dajhorn: using fstab would be ok, but ill need to set user, group & permissions, wont i? | 20:40 |
| ReadPlease | That's what I suspected... | 20:41 |
| acalbaza | Muelli: thanks | 20:41 |
| pfifo | SOS, you have an official copy? | 20:41 |
| SOS | pfifo: yes | 20:41 |
| Muelli | ReadPlease: yep, virtual will do fine for you I geuss. | 20:41 |
| pfifo | SOS, did jrib know this? | 20:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | ReadPlease, what virtualization software are you using? | 20:41 |
| SOS | pfifo: yes | 20:41 |
| ReadPlease | oracl vm virtualbox | 20:41 |
| SureKnee | hello, do you guys mind a newbie question on module installation? | 20:41 |
| pfifo | SOS: is it scratched? | 20:41 |
| Nirkus | dajhorn: i still dont get how Gnome decides, which user is allowed to mount it. both users are members of plugdev | 20:41 |
| SOS | pfifo: no | 20:41 |
| SureKnee | I got the wirelss driver working | 20:41 |
| Hounddog | hmmm ok there is one thing i can do | 20:41 |
| SureKnee | but I need to make each time I reboot | 20:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | ReadPlease, then you can using any 32/64bit architecture you choose, you don't need a virt-kernel | 20:42 |
| SureKnee | is that normal? | 20:42 |
| Hounddog | if i insert a usb and press c it starts loading the usb | 20:42 |
| eshannon | <ZykoticK9> Thanks for the link still have the blue tint | 20:42 |
| dajhorn | Nirkus: Yes. Read the man page and give it an appropriate group= parameter. NTFS doesn't store the user/group information that Ubuntu uses. | 20:42 |
| Shogoot | Muelli, nice actually its going way faster then the download via chrome. You know if it is pulling data from several locations? | 20:42 |
| Muelli | SureKnee: nope. you probably forget a "make instal". | 20:42 |
| dajhorn | Nirkus: The way that you've got it now, Nautilus is mounting it on-demand. | 20:42 |
| pfifo | SOS: the likelihood of it being corrupted is slim. Can you boot from other CDs? | 20:42 |
| Muelli | Shogoot: nope. IT doesn't. | 20:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | eshannon, try again... it "should" really work. | 20:42 |
| ReadPlease | well, i mean someone already told me I could click any of them. I'm trying to decide what's best for general usage... for web servers | 20:42 |
| SureKnee | so I need the install argument when I run make? | 20:42 |
| Nirkus | dajhorn: yeah, but only for my user | 20:42 |
| SOS | pfifo: yes, and ubuntu does mostly boot. It just fails towards the end | 20:42 |
| Shogoot | Muelli, is it possible to do so with wget? | 20:42 |
| ReadPlease | local testing..., messing around.... Nothing fancy. I don't know awgh | 20:43 |
| Muelli | SureKnee: probably. It might brick your installation though. You have been warned. | 20:43 |
| pfifo | SOS, what dose it do when it fails? | 20:43 |
| Muelli | Shogoot: probably not. | 20:43 |
| dajhorn | Nirkus: No, based on what you've said, it is claimed by the first user that asks for it. | 20:43 |
| SOS | the error screen flashes by too fast to see what it says, but it says something about installation failing | 20:43 |
| ni| | __cool__: compiz is installed | 20:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | eshannon, you might want to try logging out to verify that all gstreamer apps are closed properly | 20:43 |
| ReadPlease | Just when I was ready to pick the -virtual, I got steared away. :P | 20:43 |
| Nirkus | dajhorn: nope | 20:43 |
| pfifo | SOS, what version is that disk? | 20:43 |
| SureKnee | I'll take the risk, wish me luck :-) | 20:43 |
| SOS | pfifo: 10.04 | 20:43 |
| cardamon | Nautilus has spoiled me. I have some USB drives I need to get to. How do I know where buntu's automounting them to? | 20:44 |
| ReadPlease | all these conflicting opinions. Just after I installed debian, someone told me to install ubuntu, and visa versa. ;;PP It's all so wishy-washy. | 20:44 |
| craigbass1976 | I've got an architect's pdf plan; how do I get it to print out to scale? | 20:44 |
| Nirkus | dajhorn: let me reboot and try directly afterwards | 20:44 |
| eshannon | Thanks be back in a bit going to restart | 20:44 |
| pfifo | SOS, can you work on installing linux and chat on IRC on a different computer? | 20:44 |
| SOS | pfifo: afraid not | 20:45 |
| aetaric | !info jailer | 20:45 |
| mickster04 | craigbass1976: it should be to scale in the pdf, the printer will just print out what it gets... | 20:45 |
| ubottu | jailer (source: jailer): Builds and maintains chrooted environments. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4-15 (lucid), package size 12 kB, installed size 116 kB | 20:45 |
| __cool__ | ni|: i've not tried portrait mode for a long time (except once, where it was *slow*)... but have you found and checed the links in the comments of 'anon' on http://tieguy.org/blog/2007/08/10/oh-great-lazyweb-of-video-cards-and-portrait-monitors-again/ ? maybe the answer is *not* using compiz and using xrand | 20:45 |
| __cool__ | ni|: *xrandr* | 20:45 |
| craigbass1976 | mickster04, wicked small; all I need is the kitchen, so I'm wondering if I can gimp at least that section to scale and print it out | 20:45 |
| Shogoot | Muelli, im downloading a 3gig file, and ive done half already. you recon i can copy that half file to where the file is being downloaded by wget and it will resume the downloading correctly? | 20:45 |
| ni| | __cool__: ok | 20:45 |
| ReadPlease | I'll just try one more time.... | 20:45 |
| ni| | __cool__: thx | 20:45 |
| ReadPlease | Which kernel should I pick: virtual, generic, or 386? | 20:45 |
| Muelli | Shogoot: if you do wget --continue, yes :-) | 20:45 |
| ChogyDan | ReadPlease: you can also just pick both, and see if one works better than the other. The virtual kernel _might_ just lack allot of drivers, so it may not be a big difference performance wise | 20:45 |
| SOS | pfifo: It wasn't actually installing at the time. I was simply booting from the cd, and that gives me an installation error, I have no idea why | 20:46 |
| mickster04 | craigbass1976: well you have to work out what scale it is atm... it should be written around the esge somewhere | 20:46 |
| Shogoot | Muelli, where does wget download to? :) | 20:46 |
| ReadPlease | Alright, choganum. Thanks. | 20:46 |
| Muelli | Shogoot: to the directory you're in unless you tell it otherwise. | 20:46 |
| ReadPlease | Obviously, that's the only way I'll figure it out. LoL | 20:46 |
| cardamon | Shogoot: Where ever you want it to. man wget to find the destination option | 20:46 |
| Shogoot | Muelli, great, thanks alot for the help. | 20:46 |
| craigbass1976 | mickster04, it is, probably the architect shrunk it; I remember using really big paper in high school when I drew house plans | 20:46 |
| === justin__ is now known as superslacker87 | ||
| ReadPlease | But because having fewer drivers sounds like a good thing, we're starting with -virtual. :D | 20:47 |
| cardamon | Nautilus has spoiled me. I have some USB drives I need to get to. How do I know where buntu's automounting them to? | 20:48 |
| pfifo | SOS: when you boot that CD, it first shows a menu that lets you choose things like "try ubuntu without change" and "Install Ubuntu" dose it not (i havent burned a livecd since 8.10 so im not 100% sure of this anymore) | 20:48 |
| slops17 | hey i am trying to set up vnc4server onmy ubuntu 10.4 box and have folled all the instructions i can find to comment out lines in .vnc/xstartup and i keep getting a grey screen | 20:48 |
| mickster04 | craigbass1976: well...i have no idea then... | 20:48 |
| Monotoko | cardamon, ubuntu should mount to /media | 20:48 |
| Nirkus | cardamon: /media/$LABEL mostly | 20:48 |
| SOS | pfifo: I get no such option | 20:48 |
| Muelli | cardamon: well. USB drives have kind of an ID and I think it's udev that automounts it to /media/$ID, but I mihgt be mistaken | 20:48 |
| cardamon | Thanks. | 20:49 |
| cardamon | that's it. | 20:49 |
| mickster04 | craigbass1976: no in short, you would have to work out how much its shrunk by and then scale it back again in gimp, which is possible, only you have to know how much | 20:49 |
| Muelli | cardamon: you can type "mount" to find out about mouted disks. | 20:49 |
| Muelli | slops17: well. if no applicatino is started then the screen remains rather boring, I'd say. | 20:49 |
| dajhorn | slops17: At a minimum, you need to call gnome-session in the vnc startup script so that the desktop environment ships. The empy gray screen is the default X11 window. | 20:49 |
| slops17 | this is my xstartup http://www.pastie.org/1132231 | 20:50 |
| Nirkus | dajhorn: directly after bootup, Gnome still requires account B to input password of account A when trying to mount the device? | 20:50 |
| Schmorgluck | heh, imagine if somehow "umount" displayed a list of all existing disks that are NOT mounted on your system | 20:51 |
| pfifo | SOS, after it shows the error message what happens then | 20:51 |
| Nirkus | dajhorn: or did you mean, Nautilus has some sort of database where it stores some form of FS UUID to first user information? | 20:51 |
| dajhorn | slops17: You cut-and-pasted from a not-Ubuntu tutorial. You need to change this script to do it The Ubuntu Way. Mostly, replace everything with `gnome-session` and see if you get any further. | 20:52 |
| slops17 | dajhorn, it works on 9.10 just not 10.4 | 20:53 |
| mickster04 | Schmorgluck: what would be the point in that? | 20:54 |
| Muelli | mickster04: to be feature compatible with windows ;-) | 20:54 |
| SureKnee | Muelli: make install worked! I shall never forget this. Thank you. | 20:54 |
| Schmorgluck | mickster04, that would be weird and tedious | 20:54 |
| Muelli | SureKnee: I'm glad I could help :-) | 20:54 |
| Muelli | SureKnee: next time buy proper hardware though! | 20:55 |
| mickster04 | Muelli: lol i like | 20:55 |
| imanc | taffflash: oi oi oi | 20:55 |
| dajhorn | Nirkus: Yes, but you would have needed to explicitly enabled it sometime earlier. | 20:55 |
| SureKnee | Muelli: not as glad as I am! U>Google | 20:55 |
| Nirkus | dajhorn: mhhh | 20:55 |
| dajhorn | Nirkus: You comment regarding the password makes me think that your passwd and groups files are borked. Did you ever manually edit those files without using the `vipw` command? | 20:56 |
| Muelli | SureKnee: *blush* So enjoy your free operating system now :-) and tell your friends and family that free software rocks. And keep supporting the people in here :) | 20:56 |
| Nirkus | dajhorn: so, ill get busy on my fstab. at least there i have one man page to read instead of some mambo jumbo services doing magic | 20:56 |
| Nirkus | dajhorn: sure, i did | 20:56 |
| Nirkus | vipw is like visudo for passwd and group? | 20:56 |
| dajhorn | Nirkus: Yes. | 20:57 |
| SureKnee | Meulli: This is a machine I'm setting up for a friend. I've already spread Ubuntu to 3 people and counting! | 20:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | eshannon i'm SO sorry the link/directions i sent wasn't what i thought it was, sorry. Open "gstreamer-properties" from a terminal and in the Video tab, for Default Output Pluin: select "X Windows System (No Xv)", i'd get rid of that "videobalance hue=-1 ! autovideosink" that the page recommended. [looks like you might not be returning to sending to channel :( ] | 20:57 |
| Crankygeek01 | I am looking to setup some sort of remote access to my system, I need to have the ability to remotely reboot and still be able to grab a desktop session after it reboots....any ideas? | 20:57 |
| dajhorn | Nirkus: You probably want a gid= parameter in the fstab, not a group= parameter like I suggested earlier. | 20:57 |
| Muelli | Crankygeek01: openssh-server and GNOME. Maybe FreeNX | 20:57 |
| jayne | note that jayne != jayyne, to all those who nick-highlighted me earlier | 20:58 |
| xektrum | hello | 20:58 |
| mickster04 | sorry jayne :P | 20:58 |
| Nirkus | dajhorn: tried vipw, vipw -s. vigr, vigr -s .. none of them did mention any errors | 20:58 |
| xektrum | somebody knows which driver can I use with an old ati rage XL | 20:59 |
| xektrum | ? | 20:59 |
| xektrum | and how do I enable it? | 20:59 |
| mickster04 | xektrum: what ubuntu? does it not tell you to install proprieteery drivers? | 20:59 |
| Muelli | xektrum: you probably don't need to do anything. Just boot and use. | 20:59 |
| xektrum | ubuntu server | 20:59 |
| xektrum | 32 bits | 20:59 |
| Crankygeek01 | Muelli: Do you know if there is a way to setup VNC to run in the backgroup somehow, so that when I log in it'll give me the normal login prompt to choose my user? | 20:59 |
| mickster04 | xektrum: you dont need a special driver | 21:00 |
| xektrum | when I do lshw -C display it says its unclaimed | 21:00 |
| mickster04 | xektrum: it only uses text | 21:00 |
| Muelli | Crankygeek01: well. GNOME ships a VNC server called Vino. Other than that: I don't konw. | 21:00 |
| mickster04 | xektrum: it shouldn't matter? your not running Graphical programs on it? | 21:00 |
| dajhorn | Nirkus: Okay, you may be on the cusp of learning how to fix a munged fuse/gvfs configuration. :P | 21:00 |
| xektrum | mickster04, yeah the clean install does but I had installed gnome | 21:00 |
| mickster04 | xektrum: and it doesn't work? | 21:01 |
| xektrum | yeah but like *** | 21:01 |
| xektrum | **** | 21:01 |
| Crankygeek01 | Muelli: Yes, the only issue that I see with that is that it doesn't autostart, and you need to be logged into the desktop to share it....so if I reboot, that's it, no more remoting to the desktop | 21:01 |
| mickster04 | xektrum: dont | 21:01 |
| xektrum | slow as hell | 21:01 |
| mickster04 | xektrum: why bother doing it that way round, just install ubuntu and install the server stuff after? | 21:01 |
| Muelli | Crankygeek01: you could make GDM log you in automatically. | 21:01 |
| Nirkus | dajhorn: bummer :) | 21:02 |
| xektrum | mickster thats an option indeed but I would like to learn how to do this | 21:02 |
| Muelli | Crankygeek01: or set up VNC or set up NoMachineNX or it's free alternative. | 21:02 |
| Crankygeek01 | Muelli: The box is sitting in plain view and I wouldn't want to leave it logged in | 21:02 |
| Muelli | xektrum: the thing is, that there is not that much to do. Install and use... | 21:02 |
| mickster04 | xektrum: well thats how you do it if you want a GUI, if you wanna Learn this, then do it without the GUI | 21:02 |
| SOS | is there a way I can pause the error screen that flashes to my screen when ubuntu fails boot off the cd and gives me an error, so I can actually read it? | 21:03 |
| Muelli | Crankygeek01: you could automaticaly lock the screen once you're logged in. | 21:03 |
| Muelli | SOS: yes. You have a Pause key on your keyboard that should do the trick | 21:03 |
| xektrum | mickster04, so theres no way to load a driver for the display after the installation is done? | 21:03 |
| SOS | Muelli: How intuitive ;) I thought i tried that, however | 21:04 |
| slops17 | dajhorn, do you have a tut i should follow | 21:04 |
| dajhorn | slops17: Did you try what I suggested? | 21:05 |
| mickster04 | xektrum: yes, and no, its very hard when you might as well install ubuntu and do it that way round. if you can live without a GUI and do it "properly" without it. eitherway you don't do it the way you're doing it ccos its unneccessarily difficult to get right | 21:05 |
| slops17 | dajhorn, yes and still get the same result | 21:06 |
| Overand | Is there a "right" way to add a new software-RAID device to ubuntu (server, but it's the same) 10.04 - not a fresh install. | 21:06 |
| Overand | i.e. I read that the installer uses udev rather than mdadm - and i know *nothing* about this, and wasn't able to really track it down via docs. I've always used an mdadm.conf type setup | 21:06 |
| coz_ | Overand, not sure here but I think there is an #ubuntu-server channel | 21:07 |
| mickster04 | xektrum: yes you could do it that way. and if you suddenly needed a GUI on a long term server you would need to do it that way, but seeing as yours is fresh, i really wouldn't bother | 21:07 |
| csgeek | is Choqok broken under lucid? | 21:07 |
| dajhorn | slops17: Look in /usr/share/doc for the sample configuration file. Start from scratch. | 21:07 |
| slops17 | ok | 21:07 |
| dajhorn | slops17: Double check that you have the ubuntu-desktop meta package installed. VNC needs everything that a regular desktop uses. | 21:08 |
| xektrum | mickster04, and theres no malpraxis in using ubuntu desktop as a LAMP server | 21:08 |
| xektrum | ? | 21:08 |
| mickster04 | xektrum: when i said long term i meant long astanding | 21:08 |
| hiexpo | has anyone else had a problem logging into twitter with pidgin | 21:08 |
| sebsebseb | hiexpo: theres some issue at the moment, it seems | 21:08 |
| mickster04 | xektrum: any problem using the desktop edition is the same when you install a GUI yourself... | 21:09 |
| hiexpo | sebsebseb, ok i fixed it mine anyways | 21:09 |
| mickster04 | xektrum: what were you thinking of malpraxis... | 21:09 |
| SOS | Muelli: Is there a way to make it show me everthing that's going on in the background instead of that pretty install screen? So that I can make more sense of what's going wrong? | 21:09 |
| slops17 | dajhorn, it needs some packages | 21:09 |

| DJones | hiexpo: Twitter have changed to a OAuth instead of plain login so looks like the app's are playing catch up at the minute | 21:09 |
| Muelli | SOS: not really knowing what you're talking about, but Ctrl+Alt+F1 might drop you to a more verbose console. | 21:09 |
| sebsebseb | hiexpo: or maybe I am thinking Gwibber | 21:10 |
| slops17 | dajhorn, i had removed openoffice | 21:10 |
| hiexpo | no it is a login prob / authenication problem but i found the fix for it | 21:10 |
| xektrum | ok so the thing is, if I want GUI go for desktop, if dont stay with server ? | 21:10 |
| dajhorn | jangell: The .d configuration breakout makes it easier for dependent packages to change the configuration. | 21:11 |
| mickster04 | xektrum: yeah, if you're setting up a server for anything other than personal use you really want to concider not having a GUI | 21:11 |
| jangell | dajhorn: I'm trying ot move from centos to ubuntu and have a amavisd.conf file that is pretty well setup for exactly what we need. trying to figure out what to do... | 21:12 |
| dajhorn | jangell: You can get the current configuration by running `cat * | less`. You can add your site-specific stuff to a new XX-stub, or you can delete everything and try your luck with the old conf file. | 21:13 |
| jangell | dajhorn: is everything in that directly loaded? | 21:14 |
| dajhorn | jangell: Yes. If you want to read more about this configuration style, then look at the 'run-parts' documentation. | 21:15 |
| dajhorn | jangell: Use the 50-user file if at all possible. This will ensure easy upgrades. | 21:16 |
| slops17 | dajhorn, that didnt fix it maybe i need to reboot | 21:16 |
| dajhorn | slops17: No, if OpenOffice was the only thing missing, then you have another problem. | 21:16 |
| slops17 | dajhorn, i just rebooted ill test it when it comes back up | 21:17 |
| slops17 | dajhorn, yeah that didnt fix it | 21:18 |

| deploy | Any runaway process catcher for gnome? Something keeps going mental and locking up the thing entirely. | 21:19 |
| lap_dragon | where can I get different gui themes? | 21:19 |
| dajhorn | slops17: If the sample configuration file doesn't work, then you should check your system for sanity. Try VNC through System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop. | 21:19 |
| xangua | lap_dragon: http://gnome-look.org/ | 21:20 |
| lap_dragon | ok | 21:20 |
| slops17 | dajhorn, right now the box is headless so i can only get to it via ssh | 21:20 |
| dajhorn | slops17: Doesn't matter. Shell into the computer with `ssh -X` and run `vino-preferences`. | 21:21 |
| meltingwax | can anyone provide me with a command to enable sudo access for a user? | 21:21 |

| Nirkus | dajhorn: after deploying LDAP, all our users disappeared from the login screen and have to type in their account name manually | 21:31 |
| d3vdil | hello how can i install ubuntu with windows in the same pc ? | 21:31 |
| dajhorn | Nirkus: No, but it is buried in the man page somewhere. | 21:31 |
| mickster04 | !dualboot | d3vdil | 21:32 |
| ubottu | d3vdil: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 21:32 |
| coz_ | d3vdil, is this windows 7? | 21:32 |
| d3vdil | yeah | 21:32 |
| Nirkus | dajhorn: maybe i did lack of patience :) | 21:32 |
| dajhorn | Nirkus: If you're using something like windbind or the ldap pam module, then you must explicitly enable the getpwenum in the pam.d for things like GDM to behave sanely. | 21:32 |
| coz_ | d3vdil, ok well I like to defrag windows before doing this however,,, just stick in the live cd and when it gets to the partitioning manager you want to install side by side with windows | 21:32 |
| dajhorn | Nirkus: By default, LDAP and winbind don't enumerate because large user databases can take a long time to return. | 21:33 |
| coz_ | d3vdil, there will be a slider to pull back and forth to adjust the size of the ubuntu install partition | 21:33 |
| Nirkus | dajhorn: ah, thats a great tip | 21:33 |
| d3vdil | coz_, ok i will start by defragmentation, thanks a lot | 21:34 |
| coz_ | d3vdil, no problem | 21:34 |
| dajhorn | Nirkus: Run `getent passwd` and `getent group` as the root user. Any user missing from that output is unlikely to appear in various gnome lists. | 21:36 |
| Nirkus | dajhorn: i guess, that will be the nss module, wont it? | 21:36 |
| dajhorn | Nirkus: Yes, nsswitch is the right place to do it, unless you're feeling masochistic. | 21:37 |
| Nirkus | dajhorn: they are all in getent passwd | 21:37 |
| Nirkus | dajhorn: if they hadnt been, i would have turned it all upside down on PAM/NSS level already | 21:38 |
| private_meta | What's the File Explorer in Ubuntu called? I need to start it via x forwarding | 21:38 |
| dajhorn | Nirkus: Heh. Then the man pages for you. | 21:38 |

| Nirkus | dajhorn: libnss-ldapd does not provide any man page :) | 21:38 |
| Nirkus | dajhorn: and nothing useful in /usr/share/doc, either | 21:39 |
| dajhorn | Nirkus: Well, you are wandering into guru land. | 21:39 |

| amadews | hy i am new whit linux my ask is>ther is a program theat can se the stucture of the hdd to se the bad sectors or errors ? | 21:41 |
| dajhorn | Nirkus: There is at least one bug report saying that GDM has an enumeration override. People likely complain when their 10,000 object ActiveDirectory tree causes gnome to snooze. | 21:41 |
| pfifo | amadews, 'badblocks' is the program you want | 21:42 |
| Nirkus | dajhorn: ah, so its GDM i should be looking at for that override. | 21:42 |
| Muelli | amadews: you mihgt find palimpset interesting | 21:43 |
| luist | how do i display license of a deb package in ubuntu? | 21:43 |
| dajhorn | Nirkus: Commentary in bug 590813 says that an LDAP user must login at least once to appear in the GDM list. | 21:43 |
| Muelli | luist: probably apt-cache show | 21:44 |
| turt1e | amadews, do a man on badblocks | 21:44 |
| amadews | okk i will try hope i can manage | 21:44 |
| Nirkus | dajhorn: well i logged in about 100 times since deploying LDAP and still there is only the one local non-system account in the greeter | 21:45 |

| askhader | Thanks | 21:49 |
| mickster04 | ShadarLogoth: ext4? whatelse | 21:49 |
| ectospasm | ShadarLogoth: I think ext4 can do that | 21:49 |
| Muelli | ShadarLogoth: probably anything except FAT or NTFS :> | 21:49 |
| Nirkus | dajhorn: it could also base its decision on the shadow information/ password hash | 21:50 |
| Kyle__ | ShadarLogoth: Over 100GB even, I would only reccomend XFS or JFS. | 21:50 |
| Kyle__ | ShadarLogoth: Ext3 (and presumably 4 as well) is perfectly stable at those sizes, but is less than optimal. | 21:50 |
| ShadarLogoth | mkfs.ext4 errors out over 16TB with 4k blocks | 21:50 |
| ectospasm | Kyle__: I thought XFS and JFS were rather spotty? | 21:50 |
| mickster04 | Muelli: why not htfs? | 21:50 |

| Kyle__ | ectospasm: In a nutshell, JFS and XFS have been used in production for decades. They are B-Tree (or B+ tree) based, and in both real-world and lab testing, they both perform better on small files, large files, and many files than ext3. | 21:55 |

| azjo | it journals what? | 21:55 |
| FoolishOwl | azjo, ext3 includes journaling, which facilitates rolling back pending filesystem changes in the event of a system crash or the like. ext4 is supposed to have performance improvements over ext3. | 21:55 |
| azjo | ahhh | 21:55 |
| ectospasm | Kyle__: yeah, but I always read the Linux implementations weren't as good as on other OSes | 21:56 |
| ectospasm | Kyle__: I don't know, that's why I was asking | 21:56 |
| azjo | so not exactly a good thing to use on a usb drive. | 21:56 |
| azjo | ext2 updates read access times right? i read that was a big issue and it was disabled at sometime.. | 21:56 |
| ectospasm | azjo: that's controlled by the atime option for mount and /etc/fstab | 21:57 |

| ectospasm | azjo: none, except WinXYZ can't read ext? | 21:59 |
| mickster04 | azjo: ntfs works with windows | 21:59 |
| aeon-ltd | azjo: windows can mount it natively? i'm not really sure of other pro's | 21:59 |
| azjo | not sure why i would want that? | 21:59 |
| guntbert | azjo: file system preferences are not really on topic here | 21:59 |
| ectospasm | guntbert: they are support related, though | 22:00 |
| azjo | ah alright, i got my answers basically, anyway :P | 22:00 |
| azjo | trying to understand ext ;p | 22:00 |
| pfifo | azjo, there are ext2 drivers for windows, so really there is no advantage over eachother, the only advantage is VS fat32 which cant handle files over 4GB | 22:00 |
| guntbert | ectospasm: this channel is for ubuntu support, not for talking about ubuntu related things | 22:00 |
| azjo | ahh | 22:00 |
| azjo | well im using ext2 now so its all good ;) | 22:01 |
| ectospasm | guntbert: he was asking which filesystem to use, that's not a support question? | 22:01 |
| pfifo | azjo, it really comes down to which os will be working with the partition more, format for that OS | 22:01 |
| ectospasm | pfifo: also, NTFS/VFAT can't handle/don't store UNIX file permissions | 22:01 |
| guntbert | ectospasm: ack, but the discussion was getting long :-) | 22:01 |
| amadews | :(( seams thea i cant use badblocks :( | 22:02 |
| pfifo | azjo, ectospasm is right is security is a concern throw all of what i said out the window and do some research | 22:02 |
| turt1e | amadews, why is that? | 22:02 |
| amadews | because the system is runing | 22:03 |
| pfifo | amadews, thats the kind of program you run overnight | 22:03 |
| dschuett | anybody use mdadm in 10.04? | 22:03 |
| amadews | :( | 22:04 |
| turt1e | amadews, yeah... you really shouldn't run it on a mounted filesystem. also you may want to look into possibly running e2fsck -c I remember badblocks saying something about not running it directly | 22:04 |
| amadews | i cant stop the system because i have a web page | 22:05 |
| azjo | amadews: take it down at a time where it is rarely accessed, so supposedly overnight, or make a quick copy to another drive and go on with that | 22:07 |
| azjo | amadews: even doing such a huge task as scanning the whole drive, can potentially kill it, so the first you should do, is take a copy, or make an image | 22:08 |
| pfifo | amadews, wait until the harddrive forces you offline and then run badblocks >:D | 22:08 |
| ectospasm | amadews: the scheduling of maintenance windows on production machines is always a challenge | 22:08 |
| amadews | cant make a copy because i use lvm | 22:08 |
| azjo | lvm? | 22:08 |
| ectospasm | azjo: Logical Volume Manager | 22:08 |
| amadews | :) | 22:08 |
| azjo | ah | 22:08 |

| dajhorn | Nirkus: Just ask the Truth Machine about "gdm ldap". | 22:14 |
| coz_ | iCEAGE, ok here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/bash the only change i made was so the prompt just says "password" | 22:15 |

| coz_ | iCEAGE, no problem as I said when terminal asks for your user password it will now only say "password" | 22:17 |
| tedbundy | Shiba: that's shit! thanks anyway. any recommendations other than running itunes in a win vm? | 22:17 |
| pfifo | ratdog, well since its a javaapp, i have no idea, i would try just typing vuze and see what happens | 22:17 |

| amadews | tedbundy, you can use gtkpod | 22:20 |
| tedbundy | guntbert: sorry | 22:20 |
| coz_ | tedbundy, also the fact that itunes doesnt work on linux is apples doing... easily ported over if they wanted to | 22:21 |
| tedbundy | so gtkpod seems to be coming out an overall winner then yeah? | 22:21 |

| qwebirc97065 | the proplem is that i can not conect to wireless in ubuntu | 22:28 |
| ShadarLogoth | azjo: well I can't find a way to make mkfs.ext4 to run on a partition > 16TB, and google only says "that's a high priority to get working" which isn't really encouraging. | 22:28 |
| jouyt_ | well im leaving... bye! | 22:28 |
| Muelli | ShadarLogoth: well. then ext4 might not support >16TB just yet. | 22:28 |
| azjo | you got over 16tb?! | 22:28 |
| ShadarLogoth | 22TB... | 22:28 |
| amadews | what 22t wow | 22:29 |
| CkhiKuzad | O.O | 22:29 |
| CkhiKuzad | jebus. | 22:29 |
| ShadarLogoth | I could split it, but the smaller partition would be annoying to work with for my application, which isn't so much IO performance driven as it is just about having a lot of space | 22:29 |
| azjo | geez :P not our fault you timetravelled a few years to the future :P | 22:29 |
| wickedSA | zfs if you're brave ;) | 22:29 |
| azjo | well as long as you know the issues with xfs and can deal with it then.. but the speed of ext4 may be a good reason to split up? | 22:30 |
| ShadarLogoth | azjo: yeah, well i have high turnover so I guess if it gets to be a problem I'll split it up, guess I'll see going forward. | 22:30 |
| CkhiKuzad | is there a working youtube downloader that works with the new video system on youtube? | 22:31 |

| pfifo | http://pastebin.com/GqEQdsRp | 22:39 |
| CkhiKuzad | is there a working youtube downloader that works with the new video system on youtube? | 22:39 |
| valbaca | voidmage, i have heard the daily ppa for gwibber fixes it (I'm looking for link now) | 22:40 |
| pfifo | turt1e, as you can see during the first 38 seconds of the boot process, it works as normal, but then it stops for 15 minutes, it seems like something else is doing waht dmseg is doing | 22:40 |
| pfifo | turt1e, im also noticing things like removing usb devices dont always show | 22:41 |
| valbaca | voidmage, http://bit.ly/aGOUfg | 22:41 |
| voidmage | thanks | 22:42 |
| turt1e | pfifo, that is strange. I'm not noticing the same behavior on my system though. | 22:43 |
| turt1e | pfifo, just checked mine again by plugging in a thumb drive and it popped right up in dmesg. Something is not right with yours | 22:45 |
| pfifo | turt1e, yeah, it is dmesg shows messages from the kernel so its hard to imagine that it could be replaced or turned off, but at this point im not relying on dmesg giving useful information. What has me troubled even more is that i beleive dbus uses dmesg to create nodes and do setup so im completly baffeled at how linux is even running | 22:46 |
| pfifo | turt1e, im on the 10.04.1 livecd and have 9.10 installed, i was trying to troubleshoot some other users problems when i noticed this dmesg situation | 22:48 |
| syke | hi | 22:49 |
| pfifo | hey skye | 22:49 |
| syke | I have an Intel x58-based motherboard, and my Western Digital 10KRPM SATA drive is only being detected as UDMA/133 | 22:49 |
| syke | I appear to have everything set correctly in the BIOS; how can I get the drive to operate in SATA mode with NCQ? | 22:50 |
| azjo | syke: what have u set it to in bios? IDE? AHCI? | 22:50 |
| clone1018 | So I've tried googleing for the past 3 years. Does anyone know a fix for the ATI Radeon Xpress 1250 refresh rate problem with the output ports? Thanks | 22:50 |
| syke | azjo: it's set to always be RAID | 22:50 |
| RudyValencia | syke: check the drive's jumpers - maybe it's set to 1.5Gbit/sec mode? | 22:50 |
| turt1e | pfifo, can't remember for sure, but I thought I read that dmesg doesn't write all msgs to /var/log/dmesg . is that what you pastebined was your /var/log/dmesg file? | 22:50 |
| guntbert | pfifo: dmesg is only a way to read the kernel log, it doesn't do anything else | 22:51 |
| RudyValencia | (some drives have a jumper that sets them to go slower than normal) | 22:51 |
| pfifo | turt1e, i ran thins 'sudo dmesg|pastebinit' | 22:51 |
| guntbert | pfifo: look into /var/log/syslog | 22:51 |
| pfifo | guntbert, why is 90% of the kernel log absent then? | 22:51 |
| guntbert | pfifo: that I don't know because it is your system, here this is not the case | 22:52 |
| pfifo | guntbert, syslog looks just fine | 22:52 |
| CT1 | Hi. I have 2 screens set up and everything is fine, except fullscreen flash videos. They always play on my left screen. I've set main screen as my right one in nvidia settings and restarted, everything works except for flash which AGAIN shows on my left screen in fullscreen. Any ideas or a link? | 22:53 |
| pfifo | guntbert, actually no its not my system, my sestem works just fine. im on the 10.04.1 livecd | 22:53 |
| syke | rudyvalencia: there aren't any jumpers on the drive right now | 22:54 |
| guntbert | pfifo: ah yes - you said so - sorry no more ideas then :-) | 22:54 |
| pfifo | i know its like staying in a haunted house over night, just plain weird | 22:55 |
| RudyValencia | syke: Okay, that's odd... | 22:55 |
| rocket16 | Is there any applet in Ubuntu, which can be used for exercise timer? I need one code/applet/gui app which needs to do a simple task. It should say "L Quad", and then after 20 seconds" "Stop", then after 10 seconds "R Quad" and then after 20 seconds "Stop" and so on, and play three types of sounds with "stop", "R Quad" and "L Quad". | 22:56 |
| RudyValencia | It should have detected as SATA 300 (or at minimum, SATA 150) | 22:56 |
| pfifo | rocket16, surely ther are hundeds of workout flashapps on the web | 22:57 |
| Divecks | Hello, I think that in attempting to set my default file browser to Thunar, I have messed up the way nautilus works. From a fresh reboot/login, I can browse things as I always have, however, my desktop wallpaper is not there and I can not drag things to the desktop, interact with files on the desktop (graphically), or drag a box to select files. However, when I open any file as an administrator, or run >> gksudo nautilus >>, all is rest | 22:58 |
| Divecks | ored and my wallpaper shows and I can see and interact with files on my desktop. Does anyone know what caused this/how to remedy this? Thanks!! | 22:58 |
| syke | rudy: I'm going to check out the RAID controller's BIOS settings, they're apparantly separate from the motherboard's BIOS settings | 22:58 |

| Craig` | hey | 23:00 |
| Craig` | i was trying to follow this tutorial (i know it's aimed @ ubuntu 8.04) i'm using 10.04 -- http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_linux_and_windows_xp_linux_installed_first.htm?page=2 | 23:01 |
| Craig` | any way, when i `sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst the file is blank | 23:01 |
| hiexpo | i have getdeb repos so got it like that | 23:01 |
| aeon-ltd | Craig`: grub2 doesn't use menu.kst | 23:02 |

| datacrusher | hello everyone, i got a new notebook, and i wish to have windows xp, windows 7 and ubuntu altogether. hows the best order / way to install the 3 systens? i got a 500g hd | 23:02 |
| aeon-ltd | datacrusher: imo, xp then 7 then ubuntu | 23:02 |
| Hounddog | ubuntu and forget the 2 others... just kidding | 23:03 |
| Craig` | aeon-ltd: ah i see | 23:03 |
| VCoolio | datacrusher: xp (it needs c: or the first partition), then 7, then ubuntu so installing a windows doesn't remove grub | 23:03 |
| aeon-ltd | datacrusher: why xp & 7, 7 has xp mode | 23:03 |
| Craig` | can you give me some advice on how i'd install xp on a new partion i made? | 23:03 |
| datacrusher | Hounddog, well, ill mostly use windowze for gaming and a moth*** app from my job that i need xp to run | 23:03 |
| Craig` | i heard installing xp will remove grub | 23:03 |
| Craig` | and i've lost my live cd | 23:03 |
| Craig` | what should i do? | 23:03 |
| datacrusher | i swim well on ubuntu, will mostly use it | 23:03 |
| hiexpo | oops disregard my message sorry | 23:03 |
| aeon-ltd | Craig`: got another spare cd? | 23:04 |
| datacrusher | aeon-ltd, i coudnt get the app to run on 7, even with compatibility settings | 23:04 |
| syke | ok | 23:04 |
| Craig` | will a dvd suffice? | 23:04 |
| Craig` | i haven't gotten any spare cds | 23:04 |
| syke | in my dmesg, I see this: | 23:04 |
| syke | [ 3.502319] ata1: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) | 23:04 |
| hiexpo | craig windows need to be install first i believe | 23:04 |
| syke | [ 3.505706] ata1.00: ATA-8: WDC WD1500HLFS-01G6U1, 04.04V02, max UDMA/133 | 23:04 |
| Hounddog | datacrusher i use windows vista... but only cause of gaming and ubuntu server for most other stuff | 23:04 |
| Craig` | hiexpo: oh | 23:04 |
| hiku | !paste > syke | 23:04 |
| ubottu | syke, please see my private message | 23:04 |
| Craig` | hiexpo: well i had windows xp first | 23:04 |
| Hounddog | at least if i get this nonsense running! | 23:05 |
| Craig` | then ubuntu said it'd install beside it | 23:05 |
| === obadiah is now known as Vivek | ||
| aeon-ltd | Craig`: just reburn a ubuntu cd/dvd and reinstall grub2 that way | 23:05 |
| datacrusher | Hounddog, man from vista to 7 i saw a huge difference | 23:05 |
| Craig` | but then when i try to boot into xp it complains of a missing file. | 23:05 |
| datacrusher | 7 seems like a xp with kde | 23:05 |
| Craig` | aeon-ltd: righto, so i'm going to have to download the livecd again then? | 23:05 |
| turt1e | syke, not sure if this relates or not http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1360987 | 23:05 |
| syke | so, I'm confused. the first line says ata1 has a 3.0GBps SATA link, but the next line seems to indicate it's UDMA/133 | 23:05 |
| aeon-ltd | Craig`: hal.dll? | 23:05 |
| Kyle__ | How do you go about installing ubuntu on hardware that's too new for the iso to have drivers? | 23:05 |
| Craig` | aeon-ltd: that could be the one | 23:05 |
| Craig` | it's a dll file at least. | 23:05 |
| datacrusher | actually im thinking to set up a virtualbox with xp inside 7 | 23:05 |
| syke | and this drive is a new 10KRPM drive and the benchmarks aren't much improved over the 7200RPM drive it replaced | 23:06 |
| datacrusher | so i would have only 2 systems | 23:06 |
| Craig` | but i just deleted the xp partion | 23:06 |
| aeon-ltd | Kyle__: pnp and udev can handle some of it, but usually not make a large use of it | 23:06 |
| Craig` | so it'll be no good any way. | 23:06 |
| hiku | syke: what benchmark testing are you doing? which apps? | 23:06 |
| hiexpo | i am pure linux so windows if dif tome | 23:06 |
| Hounddog | anyone maybee know about any issues with ubuntu running on a gigabyte m63m board? i installed it and only getting "loading operating system" after install... looks to me like the drives are not recognized somehow | 23:06 |
| Hounddog | sata drives... | 23:06 |
| bludog_anchorite | try a live CD | 23:07 |
| Hounddog | just installed debian | 23:07 |
| syke | hiku: using the System Testing app under System->Administration | 23:07 |
| Craig` | oh | 23:07 |
| Craig` | i just found my livecd | 23:07 |
| Hounddog | just finished... will see if it works | 23:07 |
| Kyle__ | aeon-ltd: The new mac mini I've got here has some nvidia sata chipset that's not on the CD :( | 23:07 |
| hiku | syke: ok, and what is your MB/s writes to the drive | 23:07 |
| Craig` | well the cd to install ubuntu | 23:07 |
| === Fableflame_away is now known as Fableflame | ||
| hiku | syke: and reads | 23:07 |
| Hounddog | bludog_anchorite that was for me with the livecd? | 23:07 |
| Craig` | so..should i boot then install xp on the spare partion, the when xp is installed reboot w/ ubuntu cd, boot into live and install grub? | 23:08 |
| bludog_anchorite | Hounddog: correct. if it boots from a liveCD you have hard drive problems | 23:08 |
| bludog_anchorite | Hounddog: or a bios problem | 23:08 |
| Kyle__ | aeon-ltd: if I boot off the internal CD, I see no drives (cd or hdd). If I boot off of an external usb cdrom, I only see the external. | 23:08 |
| Hounddog | hum.. i have 2 systems with same config... both have same issue ARGH | 23:08 |
| hiku | syke: what file-system did you put on your new 10k drive? is this the primary drive where ubuntu is installed, or a second drive? | 23:09 |
| VCoolio | !grub | Craig` | 23:09 |
| ubottu | Craig`: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 23:09 |
| Hounddog | bludog_anchorite i have no idea anymore... i went through the complete bios screen etc... | 23:10 |
| syke | hiku: it says 9323MB/sec for cached reads and 121MB/sec for buffered disk reads | 23:12 |
| hiku | syke: ok, that looks good. how about writes? | 23:12 |
| hiku | syke: try this as well. dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/new/disk/test$RANDOM.img bs=1M count=1000, this will create a 1GB file. You should see 900+ MB/s for writes. | 23:13 |
| syke | hiku: disk_bench_test doesn't list the writes | 23:13 |
| aeon-ltd | Kyle__: i have no idea how to solve that, but just in general macs have never been that great at linux | 23:13 |
| Kyle__ | aeon-ltd: Lately they've been pretty good at it. At least that was the impression I've gotten from several people. | 23:14 |
| * Kyle__ sighs | 23:14 | |
| hiku | syke: throw that command in a while loop and let it run for abit. log the output and follow it with tee if you want. I'd say, stop dd'ing after about 15-20 passes | 23:14 |
| aeon-ltd | Kyle__: i've known macbooks to be the closest to anything a pc could do, but i've never seen a desktop mac with linux to be that popular. also whats wrong with osx? (and spaces + a VM) | 23:15 |
| hiku | syke: what did you format the drive? ext3? ext4? | 23:15 |
| Kyle__ | aeon-ltd: External drives aren't mounted on boot (need to login first), can't run without keyboard and mouse, and the really bad part: the virtualbox vm I've got running on it's brother crashes. | 23:16 |
| syke | hiku: ext4; used the ubuntu 10.04.1 install default | 23:16 |
| Kyle__ | aeon-ltd: So I'm migrating that linux vm over to this hardware. if I can. | 23:16 |
| syke | hiku: interestingly, 1GB size results in poor performance: 125MB/sec, 130MB/sec, 160MB/sec, 190MB/sec | 23:17 |
| hiku | syke: ouch. | 23:17 |
| syke | taking the count down to 100 yields 1.5GB/sec | 23:17 |
| aeon-ltd | Kyle__: was this the server mac mini btw? | 23:17 |
| hiku | syke: hmm, try remounting it with noatime | 23:17 |
| syke | taking same with 250 | 23:17 |
| hiku | syke: mount -o remount,rw,noatime | 23:17 |
| Kyle__ | aeon-ltd: The one with the vbox that's crashing? That's an imac. The one I'm setting up now, mac mini (brand new!) | 23:17 |
| syke | at count=500, it starts to degrade | 23:18 |
| hiku | syke: what drive is this? | 23:18 |
| syke | why would throughput suck so bad with large files as opposed to smaller ones? | 23:18 |
| adam2new | i need help w/ clamtk/clamscan: no antivirus database found after installing | 23:18 |
| Kyle__ | syke: What type of drive, how full, etc? | 23:19 |
| syke | hiku: Western Digital WD1500HLFS | 23:19 |
| syke | 10KRPM 150GB | 23:19 |
| hiku | syke: syke is this part of raid? | 23:19 |
| Kyle__ | syke: Hum. 10krpm drive and that's what you're getting? | 23:19 |
| syke | hiku: no, it's a single drive | 23:19 |
| hiku | syke: hmm... | 23:19 |
| syke | but it is connected to the RAID controller | 23:19 |
| hiku | syke: is it a built in raid controller? | 23:19 |
| syke | yes | 23:20 |
| hiku | syke: is it enabled in the BIOS? | 23:20 |
| syke | built-in on Intel x58 | 23:20 |
| Kyle__ | Well in that case the raid controller won't provide any real bennefit. But anyway. what FS? | 23:20 |
| syke | er yes | 23:20 |
| hiku | Kyle__: ext4 | 23:20 |
| syke | kyle__: ext4, the default for 10.04.1 install | 23:20 |
| Craig` | now where have i put my xp disc d: | 23:20 |
| Craig` | D:* | 23:20 |
| hiku | syke: you could try to disable the raid fuction of the hd controller, that may/may not help | 23:20 |
| syke | kyke__: I'm doing incremental benchmarks to figure out what gives the best performance for the money | 23:20 |
| Kyle__ | Weird. | 23:20 |
| syke | when buying hardware for build machines/compile farms | 23:21 |
| * Kyle__ ponders | 23:21 | |
| hiku | syke: imho, internal raid controllers suck. | 23:21 |
| adam2new | Craig`: i have a nice copy a friend burnt for me... but i dont use it due to copyright violations | 23:21 |
| syke | hiku: that might be so, but Anandtech got great performance out of this one | 23:21 |
| syke | (on Windows) | 23:21 |
| Craig` | adam2new: yeah that's my situation, i'm not going to use it i just think it needs, eh, dusting again | 23:21 |
| Kyle__ | To update a kernel without a network connection, you'd just copy the linux-image-*.deb packages onto a usb-stick right? | 23:21 |
| syke | but also, this is the "standard" workstation here, so I'm trying to work with what's easy to customize | 23:22 |
| hiku | syke: got ya | 23:22 |
| syke | hiku: I'll try turning off RAID | 23:22 |
| Craig` | found it | 23:22 |
| baltazar | I try to get stumpwm to work, I have created the xsession file as mentioned on the forum, but when I try to start it from gdm it just blinks and goes back to gdm | 23:22 |
| syke | but I'm now wondering if this is some weird thing with ext4 :( | 23:22 |
| adam2new | Craig`: why not use the Windows 9x Project (found via torrent sites)? | 23:23 |
| syke | mind you, writing 1GB files isn't something these build servers would do | 23:23 |
| Craig` | adam2new: sorry not to google but what's that? | 23:23 |
| syke | more like 10-100MB individual files | 23:23 |
| Craig` | Windows 9x is a generic term referring to Microsoft Windows computer operating systems based on an extended and modified Windows 95 kernel. This includes all versions of Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows Me.[1] | 23:23 |
| adam2new | Craig`: it contains windows 95, 98, 98 SE, ME all on one iso | 23:23 |
| Craig` | i don't really want that though | 23:24 |
| Kyle__ | syke: it could be. There have been some performance regressions from what I've heard. If you're dealing with lots of little files, maybe use the default ext4 for /, but compile everything in a nice bit xfs formatted /home? | 23:24 |
| syke | hiku: have you heard of any ext4 performance issues? | 23:24 |
| Craig` | i'm wanting windows only for playing gamse. | 23:24 |
| adam2new | Craig`: i like it for its themes i can copy to XP | 23:24 |
| Craig` | alright. | 23:24 |
| syke | craig`: try wine1.2 or CrossOver games. CrossOver has been worth every penny for me for both Outlook and game support | 23:24 |
| hiku | syke: is write cache enabled? | 23:25 |
| Craig` | is there a command i can use to view which wireless adapter i'm using? | 23:25 |
| ruffleS | hi guys. i'm affected by this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/441941. i have a dual boot (win 7 + ubuntu lucid). does anyone know of a workaround to this problem? | 23:25 |
| syke | hiku: enabled where? no such setting in the BIOS... | 23:25 |
| hiku | syke: ext4 issues? no, I run alot of TB raids all with ext4 | 23:25 |
| Craig` | syke: the games i'm wanting to play are a few years old so i initially thought wine would be a good candidate but i heard that wine was really laggy with games. | 23:25 |
| ruffleS | every time i boot into windows grub becomes unusable by the net reboot so i have to recover it with a livecd | 23:25 |
| hiku | syke: it's a jumper feature on the drive | 23:25 |
| ruffleS | next boot* sorry | 23:25 |
| adam2new | Craig`: i use PlayOnLinux | 23:26 |
| syke | Craig`: download the trial of CrossOver Games 9.1 and see if they work :) ig they don't, go ask in #crossover for help | 23:26 |
| Craig` | i just installed that before. | 23:26 |
| Craig` | PlayOnLinux, that is. | 23:26 |
| * adam2new slaps himself | 23:26 | |
| syke | hiku: hm, it didn't look like there were jumpers... I'll look again | 23:26 |
| Craig` | can someone give me a hand? i downloaded this game torrent before but it has to be mounted etc and i'm clueless, new to linux (and game downloading) | 23:27 |
| Craig` | PM would be great :D | 23:27 |
| adam2new | Craig`: if it is an iso... i can easily help | 23:27 |
| adam2new | .iso | 23:27 |
| Craig` | it's not an iso | 23:27 |
| Craig` | it's cue/bin | 23:27 |
| latagore | Craig`: If you get an answer to that, I'd like to know too :3 | 23:27 |
| syke | hiku: there's pegs that look like jumpers, but no jumper itself was included | 23:27 |
| hiku | syke: yeah, they don't include them anymore. it sucks. lol | 23:27 |
| syke | hiku: are you looking at the manual for this drive? | 23:28 |
| adam2new | i have no idea how to mount cue/bin in Linux (i never tried either) | 23:28 |
| hiku | syke: I just got 2TB x16 and none of them came with a jumper | 23:28 |
| latagore | I can't get internet to work on my laptop; wireless or wired | 23:28 |
| hiku | syke: yeah. | 23:28 |
| Cmdr_W_T_Riker | convert to iso with uif2iso | 23:29 |
| latagore | He left lol | 23:29 |
| spasysheep | is there a way to zero-out a HDD without risking overwriting parts that may render the drive inoperable? | 23:29 |
| hiku | syke: just fyi. check out the reviews. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=22-136-296&SortField=3&SummaryType=0&PageSize=50&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&IsFeedbackTab=true#scrollFullInfo | 23:30 |
| Craig` | sorry about that. | 23:30 |
| hiku | syke: still poking around | 23:30 |
| riz0n | Hey guys, I have a computer with Ubuntu (and Grub bootloader) and Windows XP. I'm about to erase Ubuntu from the hard drive, but I'm concerned that Grub may give mess up and I can no longer access XP. Once I erase the Ubuntu partition, will Grub still function where I can still access Windows, or do I need to do something different to rewrite the XP bootloader | 23:30 |
| theconartist | spasysheep, how would you make it inoperable? | 23:30 |
| latagore | Craig': Cmdr_W_T_Riker said to convert it with uif2iso | 23:30 |
| adam2new | spasysheep, it requires to "dd" to the drive itself (i forgot how to do it safely w/ this) | 23:30 |
| Craig` | latagore: both the bin and cue files? | 23:30 |
| latagore | riz0n: Grub is on the partition you installed Ubuntu, it will boot up to Windows XP once you have formatted it | 23:31 |
| Cmdr_W_T_Riker | Craig`: it uses both to create the iso iirc | 23:31 |
| Blue1 | riz0n: here;s what you need: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=314 | 23:31 |
| latagore | riz0n: At least from my personal experience | 23:31 |
| turt1e | latagore, do you know if ubuntu is detecting the network adapters? have you tried lspci or ifconfig? | 23:31 |
| Craig` | the basic structure is: oh i see. | 23:31 |
| Craig` | oops the first part haha | 23:31 |
| latagore | turt1e: I will try that now | 23:31 |
| pfifo | hiku, i lold, WD is crap and that says it all | 23:31 |
| riz0n | latagore: I just did a little google searching and it says I can use the XP installer CD to do a "Recovery Console" and "Fixmbr" to rewrite the XP loader | 23:32 |
| pfifo | they should make a deal with apple | 23:32 |
| spasysheep | theconartist: i have heard people say that if you overwrite certain sectors with zeros the pc may stoop recognising the drive. im not sure if this is true but i dont want to risk it | 23:32 |
| MIRV- | Hey guys, I got a drive I'm trying to do an install on which previously had GPT , but is now MBR , gparted is picking up the old GPT signature and displaying that data.. any way to fix? | 23:32 |
| hiku | syke: heres some more info. http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?p=16910324 | 23:32 |
| syke | hiku: all reviews are pretty good | 23:32 |
| spasysheep | adam2new: dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sd* | 23:32 |
| Blue1 | MIRV-: no clue what gpt is. | 23:33 |
| turt1e | latagore, 'lspci |grep -i network' will tell you if the os is even seeing the network devices | 23:33 |
| MIRV- | Guid Partition Table | 23:33 |
| sebsebseb | spasysheep: those kind of commands can wipe your whole hard disk, as far as I know | 23:33 |
| hiku | pfifo: yeah, for the price... I'd go sas, then ssd (took a spare 80gb ssd and installed ubuntu on it..). | 23:33 |
| Random832 | spasysheep: where did you hear that? they may have confused it iwth the partition no longer being recognized by an OS, or with it no longer being able to boot | 23:33 |
| hiku | syke: the first set was mixed, the second link isn't | 23:33 |
| latagore | riz0n: Good luck with that | 23:34 |
| adam2new | spasysheep, i think it would be if=/dev/zero | 23:34 |
| hiku | syke: what is this disks primary purpose? just running an os? or a data bucket? | 23:34 |
| area51pilot | spasysheep: I zero'd out a drive a month or so ago and now its a paperweight ... :_P | 23:34 |
| Craig` | Cmdr_W_T_Riker: i just executed, `sudo apt-get install uif2iso` is it a command line program just i can't seem to find it in my applications | 23:34 |
| latagore | turt1e: One device turned up, I need to make sure it is my wireless in Windows | 23:34 |
| latagore | turt1e: Time to restart | 23:34 |
| Squarism | what are gnome themes called : GDM Themes? GTK 2.x? | 23:34 |
| Blue1 | gnome themes | 23:35 |
| spasysheep | area51pilot: that's what im trying to avoid | 23:35 |
| Cmdr_W_T_Riker | Craig`: yes, it's probably a command line program | 23:35 |
| latagore | turt1e: By the way, what is the password for root O_o I never had to define the password | 23:35 |
| syke | hiku: yea, SSDs are a better choice for desktops that aren't mostly writing lots of data all over the disk all the time | 23:35 |
| spasysheep | Random832: I thought that may be the case, but I wasn't sure | 23:35 |
| syke | no? | 23:35 |
| Craig` | uif2iso, just by the name will it work with cue/bin files? | 23:35 |
| spasysheep | sebsebseb: that's the intention | 23:35 |
| VCoolio | Squarism: gtk2 for controls, everything inside windows (scrollbars, buttons, menus); gdk is for the login window | 23:35 |
| geirha | Squarism: GTK-themes for the components inside each window, metacity themes for the window borders, then there's icon themes for icons. Often gtk themes are bundled with metacity and/or icon themes. | 23:35 |
| area51pilot | spasysheep: ran DBAN on the drive, could not get it to work right using linux or Win | 23:35 |
| Craig` | aha yeah it is | 23:36 |
| sebsebseb | area51pilot: theres another tool on Ultimate Boot CD, that can be used instead of dban, or two | 23:36 |
| Squarism | VCoolio, geirha: thanx | 23:36 |
| turt1e | latagore, not sure what ubuntu sets as default. I always use sudo or sudo su if I absolutly need root access | 23:36 |
| Squarism | geirha, so what will change MOST is the metacity packages? | 23:37 |
| jrib | !root | latagore | 23:37 |
| ubottu | latagore: 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 | 23:37 |
| spasysheep | the hard drive im trying to wipe is an external drive, there's an error on the drive somewhere and I've heard that a complete overwrite (zero fill) will make it remap bad sectors when it tries to write to them | 23:37 |
| Blue1 | sudo the "mother may I, of linux" | 23:37 |
| syke | hiku: it's going to be building source code all the time | 23:37 |
| pfifo | ive looked at every single menu in the toolbar and cannot find control panel anywhere. how do I get to the control panel? | 23:37 |
| syke | my main goal is trying to get the build times down | 23:37 |
| area51pilot | sebsebseb: I know...still broke | 23:37 |
| Blue1 | pfifo: there is no control panel per se, what are you wanting to do? | 23:38 |
| jrib | pfifo: gnome-control-center? Why do you want to? | 23:38 |
| latagore | jrib: So do I have to worry about people hacking into the root account? | 23:38 |
| hiku | syke: ah, well the more spindles you have in say a raid 0, the faster it will be than just 1 disk | 23:38 |
| jrib | latagore: no | 23:38 |
| syke | hiku: yea, I figured that much. I have another WD 10KRPM drive here :) | 23:38 |
| pfifo | i want to get to my system properties so i can veiw my hardware profile | 23:38 |
| geirha | Squarism: Depends what you mean by MOST, but try some metacity themes and see what changes ;) | 23:38 |
| baltazar | Has anyone succeded in getting stumpwm to work in ubuntu? I have followed forum recommendations without luck | 23:38 |
| syke | i was just expecting noticable performance difference (in lower build times) over the single 7200RPM drive | 23:39 |
| hiku | syke: nice =). try a software raid first before going to your MB raid. | 23:39 |
| pfifo | i was looking all over for a link to my computer too and i dont even see that | 23:39 |
| syke | hiku: will software RAID do the elevator seeking that NCQ allows for? | 23:39 |
| Craig` | Cmdr_W_T_Riker: sorry can you help me with the syntax? it says `uif2iso <input.UIF> <output>' (it says it supports cue/bin), my files are called rld-thua.bin rld-thua.cue what command would i execute? | 23:39 |
| hiku | syke: hmm, good question. | 23:39 |
| Squarism | geirha, and those are compatible "out of the box" with gnome.. no need for extra packages installed? | 23:39 |
| hiku | syke: maybe? | 23:39 |
| latagore | turt1e: My wireless adapter shows up in Linux but not my wired one | 23:39 |
| syke | hiku: my guess is no | 23:39 |
| hiku | syke: you'd have to read up on mdadm | 23:40 |
| bastidrazor | pfifo: right click on Applications then Edit Menu then single click System .. there is a control panel there you can check. | 23:40 |
| Blue1 | pfifo: this might give you some information - not sure exactly what your are looking for: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=127 | 23:40 |
| hiku | syke: your most likely right =) | 23:40 |
| dreux | ah k | 23:40 |
| Cmdr_W_T_Riker | Craig`: i'm sorry i don't have that software installed | 23:40 |
| syke | hiku: yea. I'm going to try controller RAID first and see how that works out | 23:40 |
| hiku | syke: don't happen to have a 3ware/LSI 9690 laying around do ya | 23:40 |
| Craig` | alright thanks | 23:40 |
| syke | it's also possible that the disk isn't the bottleneck for the build | 23:40 |
| syke | hiku: ha, no ;) | 23:40 |
| Craig` | anyone here got experience with uif2iso and could help me? thanks.k | 23:40 |
| syke | I'm using GCC 4.5.1 -O3 -flto, and it's possible that causes the build to be more CPU-bound that I/O bound | 23:41 |
| syke | so far, the biggest performance boost I've gotten was tp enable HyperThreading | 23:41 |
| syke | allowed me to scale the build from the lowest time at -j6 (2m45s) to -j9 (2m15s) | 23:41 |
| latagore | Craig': Did you try google? :p | 23:41 |
| dreux | hey im a new to linux and I just installed ubuntu. Everything is fine, but I can | 23:41 |
| hiku | syke: are you not using -j for your cpu's or is that already built into your code | 23:41 |
| turt1e | latagore, you may need to boot into windows and get the specifics for the wired adapter and check to see if it should be support under linux | 23:41 |
| pfifo | no thats not it, i need to find the place where it lists my joystick so I can update its driver, my gamepad is a 16 button programmable with dual analog and an 8 way hatswitch for a dpad but only 4 buttons work | 23:42 |
| latagore | turt1e: How would I find if it's supported? | 23:42 |
| dreux | hey im a new to linux and I just installed ubuntu. Everything is fine, but I can't get my wireless internet to show up on my laptop. Can anyone help? | 23:42 |
| === spasysheep is now known as spasysheep|away | ||
| Craig` | latagore: currently trying | 23:42 |
| syke | hiku: I'm testing -j1 thru -j9, doing a warmup run, then 3 runs and recording the times, in single user mode | 23:42 |

| ubottu | spasysheep|away, please see my private message | 23:42 |
| geirha | Squarism: Yes | 23:42 |
| syke | testing the build times of scummvm right now | 23:42 |
| hiku | syke: nice.... | 23:42 |
| syke | will try gcc profiledbootstrap next | 23:42 |
| syke | also going to try another 4-core 2.8GHz CPU but with a 1333mhz bus to see what that does to performance | 23:43 |
| latagore | turt1e: and even if wired is not working, I'd at least want to get one of them working | 23:43 |
| turt1e | latagore, there is a supported hardware page somewhere in the ubuntu site. just don't know where exactly. haven't had to refer to it in a while. | 23:43 |
| syke | anyways | 23:43 |
| dreux | hey im a new to linux and I just installed ubuntu. Everything is fine, but I can't get my wireless internet to show up on my laptop. Can anyone help? | 23:43 |
| hiku | syke: well, sorry I couldn't be more help. Good luck... | 23:43 |
| Xubuntu_Newb | I'm running Xubuntu on a very bad laptop, and I don't have much HDD. I want to try to install certain non-essential apps, like games, on a usb stick, as to save space. How can I install programs to my usb stick? (other than installing to /usr/local/) | 23:44 |
| syke | hiku: thanks for the help, I appreciate it! I may come back in if I need help setting up the RAID mirror :) | 23:44 |
| latagore | turt1e: I'll google it :p | 23:44 |
| hiku | syke: ok I'll be here (for another 2 hours) | 23:44 |
| turt1e | latagore, so your wireless adapter shows up with lspci, how about with ifconfig? and btw, are we talking about ubuntu 10.04 desktop or server edition? | 23:44 |
| latagore | turt1e: Desktop; time to reboot into Linux | 23:45 |
| aeon-ltd | Xubuntu_Newb: wouldn't it make more sense to uninstall unneccessary apps on the hdd? | 23:45 |
| Xubuntu_Newb | Why? I have VERY little HDD on this laptop so I want to put apps on my usb stick | 23:46 |
| aeon-ltd | Xubuntu_Newb: how little is little? | 23:46 |
| latagore | turt1e: What am I looking for? | 23:47 |
| Xubuntu_Newb | Well, my main computer has over 1TB, but this VERY old laptop has only 2 GB remaining lol | 23:47 |
| dreux | can anyone help me with getting ubuntu to find my wireless connection? | 23:47 |
| aeon-ltd | Xubuntu_Newb: out of? | 23:47 |
| Xubuntu_Newb | 4.8 GB for the Xubuntu partition | 23:47 |
| latagore | dreux: I'm having the same problem :p | 23:47 |
| turt1e | latagore, in windows? | 23:47 |
| Craig` | a bit of googling and i found this tutorial on bchunk | 23:47 |
| Craig` | works wonders ;) | 23:47 |
| latagore | turt1e: in ifconfig | 23:47 |
| asdfasdfasdfasdf | if i install kubuntu-desktop would i get the exact same thing as if i downloaded the Kubuntu live cd? | 23:47 |
| aeon-ltd | Xubuntu_Newb: and what of the other partitions? | 23:47 |
| dreux | are you latagore? | 23:48 |
| aeon-ltd | asdfasdfasdfasdf: basically, but to get exactly the same as the kubuntu liveCD you;d have to uninstall the gnome stuff | 23:48 |
| latagore | dreux: Yep; not getting any wireless signals | 23:48 |
| Xubuntu_Newb | Taken up with windows XP (gift comp), and I would just like to install the apps on the usb stick | 23:48 |
| turt1e | latagore, oh... see if it is returning info under wlan0 or eth0. if all it shows is 'lo' then its not getting configiured | 23:48 |
| asdfasdfasdfasdf | aeon-ltd, and after uninstalling the gnome stuff would there be all kind of config files, settins wandering througout my /home folder? i dont think that comes with the live cd | 23:49 |
| latagore | turt1e: I have eth0 and lo | 23:49 |
| dreux | hmm k im going to try and google or use youtube to figure it out | 23:49 |
| dreux | ill let you know if I do | 23:49 |
| aeon-ltd | Xubuntu_Newb: ok, i suppose you could have the binaries on the usb stick, but then the dependencies would have to be on the hdd | 23:49 |
| latagore | dreux: Thanks a bunch | 23:49 |
| Xubuntu_Newb | Like the shared libraries? | 23:49 |
| aeon-ltd | asdfasdfasdfasdf: some will be but they are just small dot files | 23:49 |
| asdfasdfasdfasdf | ok | 23:49 |
| turt1e | latagore, thats odd that you are getting eth0 but lspci is showing only your wireless adapter. you sure lspci is picking up the wireless adapter and not the ethernet? | 23:50 |
| asdfasdfasdfasdf | also is there any way to install ubuntu to another partition from my Fedora linux? some sort of Wubi, but for linux? | 23:50 |
| hiku | asdfasdfasdfasdf: run virtualbox in fedora, then install ubuntu | 23:51 |
| aeon-ltd | Xubuntu_Newb: i suppose so, kinda | 23:51 |
| Craig` | what's the easiest way to increase a partition's storage? linux only has 28GB atm but i'm wanting to boost that to the other 900GB of free space | 23:51 |
| bastidrazor | asdfasdfasdfasdf: if you Fedora uses grub you could boot directly into the ubuntu ISO and install that way. | 23:51 |
| Xubuntu_Newb | aeon-ltd: Yeah, so how would I do that, when I'm using ./configure do I just have to use --prefix? | 23:51 |
| aeon-ltd | Craig`: gparted, or another partition manager | 23:51 |
| Craig` | i'm using disk utility but i see no option to change partion capactiyt | 23:51 |
| hiku | Craig`: use gparted | 23:51 |
| latagore | turt1e: Oh, without the filter I see my ethernet adapter | 23:51 |
| bastidrazor | asdfasdfasdfasdf: if using Lilo i do not know if that is possible. | 23:51 |
| latagore | turt1e: Sorry about that | 23:51 |
| asdfasdfasdfasdf | hiku, dont want to virtualize anything. | 23:51 |
| Xubuntu_Newb | And direct it to my USB? | 23:51 |
| asdfasdfasdfasdf | bastidrazor, it does use grub | 23:51 |
| hiku | asdfasdfasdfasdf: then you'll have to install them side by side and dual boot | 23:52 |
| Divecks | Hello, I think that in attempting to set my default file browser to Thunar, I have messed up the way nautilus works. From a fresh reboot/login, I can browse things as I always have, however, my desktop wallpaper is not there and I can not drag things to the desktop, interact with files on the desktop (graphically), or drag a box to select files. However, when I open any file as an administrator, or run >> gksudo nautilus >>, all is rest | 23:52 |
| Divecks | ored and my wallpaper shows and I can see and interact with files on my desktop. Does anyone know what caused this/how to remedy this? Thanks!! | 23:52 |
| Coronade | :D I have a helmet, it's so much better than a tin foil hat! | 23:52 |
| aeon-ltd | Xubuntu_Newb: not sure, i've never compiled anything to be portable, but you could try compileing it in a user's folder then move the folder and all its content to the usb stick and try to launch it | 23:52 |
| dreux | anyone know how I can find my wireless card’s Interface Name? | 23:52 |
| Coronade | Steel army helmet? | 23:52 |
| asdfasdfasdfasdf | bastidrazor, i didnt know you could boot ISOs. is that safe? or is there any small chance of things messing up and my hard drive ending up formatted :D | 23:52 |
| hiku | !ot | Coronade | 23:52 |
| ubottu | Coronade: #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! | 23:52 |
| aeon-ltd | Divecks: theres a option for nautilus to manage the desktop somewhere | 23:53 |
| randerzander | is there a substantive difference between tightvnc and vnc4server? | 23:53 |
| theconartist | have you tried dmesg dreux | 23:53 |
| dreux | idk what dmesg is im brand new to using ubuntu | 23:53 |
| Xubuntu_Newb | Well, I don't want ANYTHING to be left in usr/bin for that program, what I want is just to be able to plug in my USB, and run the binaries for the programs | 23:53 |
| Divecks | aeon-ltd, I'm sure. But what i don't get is why it works when i run nautilus as root.. | 23:53 |
| theconartist | type it in the terminal dreux | 23:54 |
| dreux | k let me get my laptop | 23:54 |
| aeon-ltd | Divecks: because that option has probably been checked for root | 23:54 |
| dreux | what is terminal under conartist? | 23:55 |
| aeon-ltd | Xubuntu_Newb: when you compile a app, everything should be in the folder you compiled in | 23:55 |
| aeon-ltd | dreux: say wut? | 23:55 |
| Divecks | aeon-ltd, I see. Any idea how I could remedy the problem then? I'm not even sure what to google really :P | 23:55 |
| bastidrazor | asdfasdfasdfasdf: the only way the drive would be formatted is if you told the ubuntu installer to format it. the installer is smart enough to give you options of how you want to install. entire disk(not the choice you want), create a partition for Ubuntu(resizing your current partition to create a new).. probably the latter choice, also you have the ability to manually partition | 23:55 |
| aeon-ltd | Divecks: the option should be in the nautilus preferences somewhere | 23:56 |
| Adriannom | hi. is it possible to rsync a home dir between several machines? i.e. if i delete a file on my local machine it gets deleted on my server and other workstations | 23:56 |
| dreux | where do i go to type in the terminal | 23:56 |
| theconartist | dreux, accessories | 23:56 |
| bastidrazor | !terminal | dreux | 23:56 |
| ubottu | dreux: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 23:56 |
| evansp | can anyone help me get my laptop montor to display ubuntu? I'm connected to an external monitor which displays it fine | 23:56 |
| Divecks | aeon-ltd, I see. Okay thanks. | 23:56 |
| hiku | evansp: unplug the monitor from the laptop? | 23:57 |
| aeon-ltd | Divecks: oh wait, if you launch 'nautilus' in alt-f2 it should bring the desktop back | 23:57 |
| latagore | turt1e: Are you still there =o | 23:57 |
| dreux | so i just type dmsg? | 23:57 |
| Xubuntu_Newb | aeon-ltd: You mean when I do the /configure, make, make install, everything is kept there? Because I thought the binaries would anyway be installed to /usr/local, /usr/local/bin, so then if I just type the command to run the program I compiled, it will work since it's in the PATH variable? | 23:57 |
| hiku | dreux: dmesg | 23:57 |
| evansp | my laptop monitor just displays a blank screen after the boot options | 23:58 |
| Divecks | aeon-ltd, Yeah it usually does.. but still its not doing that on boot, which is the heart of the problem. | 23:58 |
| hiku | Xubuntu_Newb: no... to install your binarys and config files in a say $HOME/bin/myapp do; ./configure --prefix=$HOME/bin/myapp | 23:58 |
| asdfasdfasdfasdf | bastidrazor, oh ok and now that we are in the topic of installation i ran Kubuntu live cd in VirtualBox and during installation i was never prompted to where should i want grub to be installed. since i have a boot partition i'd like to install ubuntu's grub into its partition and add manually a line to it in my Fedora's grub installed to my hard drive's mbr.a i was never asked for this choice during installation.. | 23:58 |
| aeon-ltd | Divecks: make it start every session, in administration -> sessions | 23:58 |
| aeon-ltd | hiku: thanks for answering for me :) | 23:58 |
| turt1e | latagore, sorry, had to step away, had burgers burning on the grill!!! | 23:59 |
| hiku | aeon-ltd: sorry bro... you looked busy. figured I'd help where I could | 23:59 |
| Xubuntu_Newb | Yeah that's what I was asking about using prefix in ./configure lol K thanks | 23:59 |
| hiku | Xubuntu_Newb: hehe np | 23:59 |
| Xubuntu_Newb | So if I do that, the entire program would be kept in that folder? And it can be used just fine portably? | 23:59 |
| Divecks | aeon-ltd, Ah okay. Will do. | 23:59 |
| latagore | turt1e: Oh that's okay. Shouldn't you be at the grill instead of IRC xD | 23:59 |
| Cmdr_W_T_Riker | asdfasdfasdfasdf: perhaps because the installation process didn't see an exisiting boot loader | 23:59 |
| aeon-ltd | Xubuntu_Newb: should do, yeah, assuming you have the dependencies to run it | 23:59 |
