| bodwick | bobbytek i wouldnt reccomend wubi as a long term solution | 00:11 |

| itsux2bu | well in that case we'd limited to "oh golly gee wiz uncle bob.." | 00:12 |
| wiesshund | WUBI is for when you either have no other choice, or you want to try linux a bit more indepth than the live CD but want to retain the option to uninstall it. It isnt the greatest method for a permanant install | 00:12 |
| bodwick | b4r14 have you tried booting with noacpi kernel option ? | 00:12 |
| itsux2bu | dag namit | 00:12 |
| itsux2bu | or.. oh fudge | 00:13 |

| litropy | Hi, peeps. I've got an issue with spoofing my Atheros AR9285 wireless card running ath9k. See here, and thanks in advance: http://pastebin.com/fJPbQzaN | 00:15 |
| Fr3d0 | Hi I have a annoying issue with my xubuntu and amarok 2.3.1 well the trouble is every time i boot there is no sound at all but when i erase this: /home/alfredo/.pulse/89d6ae6ee9e76d1cdd7a8e0e4c0707d5-runtime the sound starts over | 00:15 |
| Karen_m | problem; double clicking or right clicking and hitting 'chat' on a nick in my contact list, won't pop up a box so that I can type to the person. Why is this... it happens once in a while | 00:15 |
| wiesshund | bobbytek wbui is a compressed image store in windows just like a big file, as such it is vulnerable to anything that might happen in windows, deletion corruption etc. | 00:16 |
| jack_ctu | hello, i have an old desktop running karmic, lspci shows pci video card (nvidia) and doesn't show integrated graphics (nvidia). Is this normal? | 00:16 |
| jack_ctu | (i have installed the nvidia drivers and now have nvidia x server settings in my menu) | 00:16 |
| burner | th0r: thanks for the gkrellm tip... that actually reminded me of fluxbox which reminded me of openbox which led me to conky!!! :) | 00:16 |
| b4r14 | bodwick, yes. this is like my problem | 00:16 |
| bodwick | bobbytek2 i prefer old schoold installation, and wubi can mess things up from time to time.. if you want to play with ubuntu try virtualbox ? | 00:16 |
| wiesshund | jack_ctu the if you are running on the integrated card, and its old, it may be on the pci bus. | 00:17 |
| b4r14 | Oer, yes. this is like my problem | 00:17 |
| michaelxq | glebihan, gmt 2setup doesn't work...any more ideas? | 00:17 |
| glebihan | litropy: did you try "/etc/init.d/network-manager restart" (I didn't really get what you did from your message) ? | 00:17 |
| jack_ctu | right now, i have two monitors plugged, but only the one connected to my pci vid card displays anything | 00:17 |
| Oer | b4r14, add your bug too. it helps development | 00:18 |
| jack_ctu | the one plugged into the mobo graphics is blank and doesn't appear in anything | 00:18 |
| Karen_m | does anyone know? | 00:18 |
| Kegg | So, I have a problem with nm-applet... It's running, but it won't show up in the system tray. It's rather annoying to join wireless networks without it. Anyone have any ideas? | 00:18 |
| litropy | glebihan: Yes, | 00:18 |
| wiesshund | jack_ctu is the onboard enabled in your bios? and is the bios set to boot agp 1st ? | 00:18 |
| glebihan | litropy: and "/etc/init.d/network restart" ? | 00:18 |
| glebihan | michaelxq: well I don't really have any other idea | 00:19 |
| litropy | glebihan: yes. | 00:19 |
| bodwick | b4r14 did turning off acpi help? | 00:19 |
| jack_ctu | wiesshund: not sure, i'll check that now | 00:19 |
| glebihan | michaelxq: theming gdmlogin is not a simple thing | 00:19 |
| wiesshund | jack you will want it enabled in bios, and should set it to boot agp first (diff bios have a different wording for that) | 00:20 |
| b4r14 | Oer, I run the test and submit my bug already. i think that i will wait a long time to acpi ubuntu time solve this problem | 00:20 |
| litropy | glebihan: when trying both commands, they go before ifup, right? | 00:20 |
| b4r14 | i read bugs from 2008 | 00:20 |
| b4r14 | bodwick, i will try it now | 00:20 |
| b4r14 | thanks | 00:20 |
| glebihan | litropy: I would try after ifup | 00:20 |
| michaelxq | glebihan, it was installed but the ok button when i choose the picture does not work...that's the only problem | 00:20 |

| xangua | Kegg: ahd do you have a tray area in the panel¿ | 00:22 |
| glebihan | michaelxq: that was point, no simple way, you can take a look at some tutorial about theming gdmlogin, but I can't help you there | 00:22 |
| cast | Austin25: could do it from within a vm | 00:22 |
| Austin25 | How? | 00:22 |

| xangua | Kegg: that's the indicator app, not the system tray | 00:22 |
| cast | Austin25: with dd | 00:22 |
| Austin25 | Do I need to unmount it? | 00:23 |
| Kegg | xangua: I'm a linux novice... What's the difference? | 00:23 |
| glebihan | litropy: well, that's quite weird | 00:23 |
| bodwick | b4r14 just add the noacpi option in /etc/default/grub and update grub | 00:23 |
| b4r14 | thanks | 00:24 |
| b4r14 | i will do it | 00:24 |
| bodwick | b4r14 the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line has kernel parameters | 00:24 |
| wiesshund | Kegg if you right click the task bar i think you can choose to add a system tray applet | 00:24 |
| xangua | Kegg: indicator is a new canonical's implementation to gradualy substitute the system tray | 00:24 |
| Kegg | wiesshund: I don't see an option for system tray under the options for adding applets | 00:25 |
| Kegg | my goal is to get the nm-applet back in the bar to make choosing wireless easier. | 00:25 |
| Austin25 | Good bye. | 00:25 |

| velzevool | Okay so here's my question.I want to install some up to date drivers for my graphics card,but i don't know how.A link from a game leads me here but i can't see Ubuntu in that list http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx | 00:41 |
| jrib | velzevool: are you drivers not in APT? | 00:41 |
| litropy | glebihan: They're not installed. Which package should I install? | 00:41 |
| jrib | your* | 00:41 |
| lux-b | the question i am requesting help in ubuntu is: does 10.04 Lucid for netbook have equivalents of these packages? Glibc 2.8, Libstdc++6, XFree86-4.7. If this is not right place to ask can you tell me where? | 00:41 |
| velzevool | What is Apt? | 00:41 |
| jrib | velzevool: the package system | 00:42 |
| glebihan | litropy: linux-backports-modules-wireless-(kernel-version) | 00:42 |
| bastidrazor | !apt | velzevool | 00:42 |
| ubottu | velzevool: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 00:42 |
| onn0_ | velzevool wich graphic card? | 00:43 |
| velzevool | Ati hd4850 | 00:43 |
| jrib | !ati | velzevool | 00:44 |
| ubottu | velzevool: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 00:44 |

| velzevool | that's ok :) | 00:45 |

| onn0_ | tell | 00:46 |
| jack_ctu | @onn0: old desktop trying to multiseat | 00:46 |
| pineapple | !wubi | 00:46 |
| ubottu | Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 00:46 |
| pineapple | does wubi have its own channel? | 00:47 |
| bazhang | pineapple, nope | 00:47 |
| pineapple | ok... | 00:47 |
| jack_ctu | @onn0: so i have an integrated nvidia graphics and another nvidia pci card, i have a monitor plugged into each | 00:47 |
| jack_ctu | @onn0 but only the monitor plugged into the card displays or shows up in the nvidia x server settings or lspci | 00:48 |
| pineapple | then i'll ask here: supposing i wanted to do a wubi-like install manually, without using wubi... how would i do it? | 00:48 |
| jrib | pineapple: you would read wubi source | 00:48 |
| bazhang | pineapple, you wouldnt. you could use vbox | 00:48 |
| jack_ctu | @onn0: tried to switch onboard/agp to primary in bios, nno luck | 00:49 |
| pineapple | jrib: i was looking for an answer that was a little more "high level" (in the sense of high level language) than that... | 00:49 |
| pineapple | bazhang: ? | 00:49 |
| bazhang | pineapple, wubi is unwieldy as is, why make it moreso? | 00:50 |
| edbian | pineapple, The source code is probably c. Which is a high level language. | 00:50 |
| jrib | pineapple: well wubi's website used to have decent summary of how it works | 00:50 |
| pineapple | edbian: only if you feel comfortable reading someone else's source code | 00:50 |
| litropy | glebihan: okay, installed | 00:50 |
| pineapple | also, there are those who debate that c is high level | 00:50 |
| bazhang | pineapple, some problem with just partitioning hard drive and dual booting? | 00:50 |
| glebihan | litropy: you'll have to reboot to enable it, and then check if it works | 00:51 |
| edbian | pineapple, Wubi makes a file inside the ntfs partition that it uses as a hard drive. It edits the boot loader and it creates an entry for windows add/remove. | 00:51 |
| edbian | pineapple, Outside of that I believe that it is normal Ubuntu. | 00:51 |
| jrib | pineapple: this isn't really relevant... | 00:51 |
| pineapple | bazhang: you mean apart from not wanting to do things that might make it harder for me to rescue things on my new laptop should anything go wrong? | 00:52 |
| velzevool | I went to the hardware drivers section and it says "This driver is activated but not currently in use".What should i do? | 00:52 |
| litropy | glebihan: what did it change, and how do I revert back if I need to? | 00:52 |
| Karen_m | How do i find out which version of mumble-server I have installed? I see backports is 1.1.8 and lenny has 1.1.4 | 00:52 |
| pineapple | edbian: ok... so i guess the next question is how to install to a loop-mounted file system... will google | 00:52 |
| glebihan | litropy: it enabled some features not implemented in kernel yet | 00:53 |
| jrib | Karen_m: apt-cache policy | 00:53 |

| litropy | glebihan: thx, rebooting | 00:53 |
| jack_ctu | i have the same question as karen too :) | 00:53 |
| mike9055 | if i plug a external harddrive into a ubuntu server do i have to type a command for it to be recognized by the system? | 00:53 |
| jrib | pineapple: go read wubi's site like I suggested, they explain the history and have links to specs and code which is probably going to be fairly helpful... | 00:53 |
| jack_ctu | @karen_m the default install is an old version of murmur | 00:53 |
| Karen_m | I'm getting a weird "the server is using an older ssh standard... " | 00:54 |
| Karen_m | I'm trying to figure out why, maybe installed via backports and lenny is not the best method, and I should be trying to find a *.deb from them? | 00:54 |
| Karen_m | jrib, i see my backports at 900 | 00:54 |
| bazhang | lenny Karen_m ? that's debian | 00:54 |
| jrib | Karen_m: are you using ubuntu? lenny isn't an ubuntu version | 00:54 |
| jk_ | mike9055, whenever I do so, the system automatically detects the additional drive and opens the file manager. I'm on Xubuntu, though, and pure Gnome might act differently. | 00:54 |
| velzevool | Am i allowed to make the question again if someone didn't see it? | 00:54 |
| jrib | !repeat | velzevool | 00:54 |
| ubottu | velzevool: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://ubuntu.stackexchange.com | 00:54 |
| Karen_m | oh darn, I'm using debian on my server, and ubuntu here.. lol, wrong channel | 00:55 |
| mike9055 | well this is a ubuntu server, there is no window manager | 00:55 |
| jrib | velzevool: erm, yes wait about ~10 minutes in between though | 00:55 |
| velzevool | ok | 00:55 |
| roccity_ | Karen_m, it could be using ssh1 | 00:55 |
| mike9055 | ubuntu server edition lucid to be exact | 00:55 |
| Karen_m | it is using ssh1 | 00:55 |
| jk_ | mike9055, Try the simple "mount" command to see if it was mounted automagically. | 00:56 |
| roccity_ | Karen_m, ssh2 is the newer | 00:56 |
| Karen_m | roccity_, , how do you force ssh2? | 00:57 |

| martin__ | hi, I have this idea of making desktop backgrounds...

| ShapeShifter499 | hi | 00:58 |
| roccity_ | Karen_m, I think you can try apt-get install libssh2-1 or search apt-cache search libssh2 | 00:58 |
| roccity_ | Karen_m, don't know about mumble | 00:59 |
| roccity_ | Karen_m, I found libssh2 in the debian package search online | 00:59 |

| Junior49MI | ok bodwick I will give that a try | 01:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | Junior49MI, to add the wine PPA correctly (after this is fixed) you can use the command "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa" | 01:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | Junior49MI, correction "sudo add-apt-repository ubuntu-wine/ppa" is i believe all you need | 01:19 |
| jk_ | mike9055, that could be. when i plug in an external drive, it shows up as the next drive in the /dev/sda sequence, but that's something that udev and/or hal can change... | 01:19 |

| Junior49MI | ok bodwick - it worked right now. Old info from an old book...LOL | 01:24 |

| iiprotocolii | mike9055: nano is pretty good too. :) Used it here and tehre. | 01:26 |
| iiprotocolii | there* | 01:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | iiprotocolii, i was just using the emacs thing as an example. i'm a vi-guy myself but "vi is the best..." type statements just lead to unneeded debate. there is no "best" | 01:26 |
| jk_ | mike9055, nano would be just fine, too. the key thing is the sudo prefix when editing files in /etc | 01:26 |

| josi | Hi , is there a key combo to turn off compositing? ( like ctrl shift f12 in kde) Or where can i turn it off anyway? ^^ | 01:29 |
| bodwick | josi fusion-icon | 01:29 |
| === erana_ is now known as erana | ||
| josi | uhm fusion-icon? | 01:30 |
| floody | josi -> settings->display | 01:30 |
| jk_ | mike9055, I believe that "auto" is one of the options that can be included in the list but is not part of the list generated by "defaults" so you may need to check the man page for mount to be sure. Manually mounting the drive would not modify fstab; it would, however, show up in /etc/mtab which is the list of currently mounted filesystems. | 01:30 |
| undecim | josi: pressing ALT+F2 and typing "metacity --replace" will switch off compositing unless metacity is set up with it enabled. | 01:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | josi, it's a program - adds an icon to system try to turn compiz on/off etc. | 01:31 |
| josi | Oh thanks | 01:31 |
| undecim | josi: And by enabled, I don't mean that "Desktop Effects" is on. It's a gconf setting for metacity. Metacity is used when desktop effects are turned off, compiz is used when it is turned on. | 01:32 |
| Ripp2 | Is there a PDF viewer that allows you to bookmark PDFs? | 01:32 |

| undecim | josi: You might find this useful: http://blog.undecim.org/2010/07/some-useful-custom-hotkeys-for-linux-gaming-and-fullscreen-video/ | 01:33 |
| undecim | josi: It describes how to set up hotkeys to change compositing | 01:33 |
| undecim | josi: If you want a single hotkey like KDE has, you might be able to make a small script that checks if compiz is running and launches the correct window manager accordingly. | 01:34 |

| EnigmaticCoder | Bash Scripting: How do I do a for loop from i = "a" to "z"? | 01:35 |

| ubottu | littlegirl: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 01:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | EnigmaticCoder, i think you can use [a-z] as a bash substitution, you could ask in #bash to be sure | 01:36 |
| undecim | littlegirl: if it's worth your time to do so, you can probably remove the directories related to gnome-panel inside those directories and save your settings in the other applications | 01:36 |

| raj__ | mom if you install the current .. the old one will be removed | 01:48 |
| spreda | is Xorg normally tops on top with onboard vidio? | 01:48 |
| bodwick | mom: open up a terminal and do sudo apt-get purge nvidia-* and then install sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 01:48 |
| bodwick | raj__ you can have more than one nvidia driver version installed at the same time | 01:48 |
| raj__ | bodwick: nit really .. if you do it throught the hardware drivers .. it takes off the old one | 01:49 |
| bodwick | raj__ you just swap the using update-alternatives or sth ;) | 01:49 |

| bodwick | raj__ one is active but is the old one purged from the system? | 01:50 |
| raj__ | bodwick: yup .. i even checked to see if its nstalled in apt-get it was gone | 01:52 |
| bodwick | raj__ seems my gf has something messed up .. she has 2 versions :) | 01:52 |
| raj__ | bodwick: i think in 10.04 they did that as a noob proof way not to get drivers more than once | 01:52 |
| raj__ | bodwick: lol | 01:52 |

| raj__ | Gh0st75: what sound card? do this lspci in the terminal and paste output for us on pastebin.com and give us the link | 01:54 |
| bodwick | mom you can just logoff and login | 01:54 |
| raj__ | bodwick: you should have recondigured xserver for her b4 reboot | 01:55 |
| Nighty | how can i get the sound icon back in my panel? :) | 01:55 |
| bodwick | raj__ i believe the xorg.conf was changed earlier ... | 01:55 |
| bodwick | raj__ well see :) | 01:55 |

| piwi | hi, a friend of mine has the following dmesg output on ubuntu 10.04 http://opensolaris.pastebin.ca/1932103 . the behavior she describes seems to be similar to the following bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kernel-package/+bug/555787 as it does the dmesg output. is it likely to be a hardware problem? as the bug was closed. she said it happend probably after applying a bunch of updates today. | 01:57 |
| kneaux | lucid server iso doesn't have it | 01:57 |
| Gh0st75 | nothing is mutes, ubuntu's volume bar responds to the volume dial on my keyboard fine and ic maxed | 01:57 |
| bodwick | mom cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver | 01:58 |
| * Wiesshund reboot [new kernel] | 01:59 | |
| bodwick | mom itll tell us if you have nvidia module selected in xorg | 01:59 |
| IdleOne | sorry bout flood folks | 01:59 |
| mom | bodwick, Driver "nvidia" | 01:59 |
| bodwick | mom so you have the right driver ... ehhhmm .. anything in system -> administration -> drivers? | 02:01 |
| raj__ | mom reconfigure your xserver | 02:01 |
| ThomasB2k | Quick question, are PNGs considered to be free as in speech? | 02:01 |
| raj__ | mom do this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 02:01 |
| bodwick | raj__ anything except changing Drivers line needed? | 02:01 |
| ThomasB2k | The actual PNG format | 02:01 |
| dominicdinada | where besides the hostname file are hostnames stored | 02:01 |
| bodwick | raj__ the module is right but it cannot be loaded :/ | 02:02 |
| pdk | yes thomas | 02:02 |
| raj__ | bad not really ... nvidia shouldnt be played with its well supported .. no hacking / changing is needed | 02:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | mom, actually the correct way of doing raj_'s suggestion for nvidia is run the command "sudo nvidia-xconfig" | 02:02 |
| pdk | png came to be as a response to the patents on parts of the gif format | 02:02 |
| raj__ | bodwick: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg try this and reboot | 02:02 |
| ThomasB2k | Okay, thank you pdk | 02:02 |
| kneaux | need package "links" to connect to the internet on new lucid server machine (our sysadmin is a fascist), ergo need cd-repository containing it, don't know what to do | 02:02 |
| bodwick | raj__ why should i? :D | 02:03 |
| === progre55__ is now known as progre55 | ||
| bobNIX | So my ISP assigns me a certain IP depending on the MAC address for the network card, I changed the MAC to "0014BBD9BB28" in windows (using amac software) and got the IP "78.96.186.137" (this is directly related, I'll get the same IP every time with that MAC). When I changed the mac on linux to the same mac address as under Windows using "sudo ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:14:BB:D9:BB:28" I got the IP 89.137.162.76 | 02:03 |
| bobNIX | Any clue as to why this is happening ? | 02:03 |
| raj__ | bodwick: i mean for mom .. this will update her xserver with the new drivers (current) she just installed | 02:03 |
| mom | ZykoticK9, ive tried that already | 02:03 |
| mom | bodwick, it says driver is activated but not currently inuse under drivers | 02:04 |
| dominicdinada | bobNIX: well that is ur actual IP address | 02:04 |
| bodwick | raj__ hmm .. thought its done by package manager ... | 02:04 |
| ZykoticK9 | mom, ok sorry. if this all happened because of a kernel update, you should be able to hold shift to get grub menu, then select the older kernel have have working nvidia. is that correct? | 02:04 |
| raj__ | mom can you tell us what packages are installed for nvidia? Go to your package manager and look for nvidia .. SEE what packages are installed .. there must be something blocking it | 02:04 |
| bobNIX | dominicdinada, ? | 02:05 |
| ZykoticK9 | mom, s/have have/and have | 02:05 |
| bodwick | mom: and if you try to switch this installed driver on ? | 02:05 |
| mom | ZykoticK9, i guess but i uninstalled the old kernel when i was installing new | 02:05 |
| dominicdinada | bobNIX: that is your IP address what are you not getting ? it is a routable valid IP address, Cable internet ? | 02:05 |
| raj__ | mom you can post screenshots of the package manager and nvidia installs .. and past eit here .. ill compare it to mine and se what you have missing / extra | 02:05 |
| bodwick | raj__ purge nvidia-* should have cleaned any garbage, right? | 02:05 |
| Gh0st75 | i tried adding the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf ......"options snd-hda-intel model=imac24" but no luck | 02:06 |
| ZykoticK9 | mom, it's always a good idea to keep 2 kernels - a known working and current... something to keep in mind for next time. | 02:06 |
| raj__ | bodwick: not always ... there are alot of nvidia junk in there that might be installed .. | 02:06 |
| mom | ZykoticK9, yes i removed too many kernels by accident | 02:06 |
| kneaux | can i make an iso with just "links" on it with eg remastersys? | 02:06 |
| bobNIX | dominicdinada, I dont think you understood my question which would be "why am I getting the same IP on windows with MAC 'X' " while on Ubuntu I'm getting a different IP with MAC 'X' | 02:06 |
| dominicdinada | bobNIX: if you are on a local area network and wondering why your computer is showing a external IP address...... it could be set that the machine is in a DMZ or .... | 02:06 |
| mom | raj_, ok let me restart x first see if that helps | 02:07 |
| evan0 | hey how do you change the default browser? | 02:07 |
| bobNIX | sigh | 02:07 |

| dominicdinada | bobNIX: heard of dhcp lease | 02:07 |
| raj__ | Gh0st75: like i said before | 02:07 |

| zilch | Are you not able to play it at all? | 02:33 |
| dominicdinada | bobNIX: that I am unsure about I have not tried it, not only that I am on a LAN and have a router which most likely is nothing like your ISP uses :( I guess the better question is to ask WHY having a specific IP is important? ? if it is because you say have a website that uses an HTAccess file to grant permissions based off of ip | 02:33 |
| usagi | it plays but it skips badly | 02:33 |
| bikcmp | IdleOne: oh | 02:33 |
| bikcmp | are you sure? i thought grub could do both | 02:33 |
| usagi | 2 gigs ram, amd athalon 5000+ x2 | 02:33 |
| dominicdinada | bobNIX: then update the allowed ip | 02:33 |
| bodwick | usagi what sound chip do you have? | 02:34 |
| bodwick | usagi same issue with audio in other players? | 02:34 |
| Chr|s | What is one of the better plugins for flash to use instead of Adobe Flash for amd64? | 02:34 |
| IdleOne | bikcmp: grub can but windows will install it's bootloader to the mbr and not see ubuntu | 02:34 |
| usagi | bodwick, yes | 02:34 |
| bikcmp | ah | 02:34 |
| usagi | but onlu *buntu | 02:34 |
| IdleOne | bikcmp: so you want to install windows first and then ubuntu so grub can recognize them both | 02:35 |
| usagi | nvidia | 02:35 |
| bobNIX | dominicdinada, nah, I was recieving some UDP packets to that IP and I wanted to handle them under Linux | 02:35 |
| bikcmp | IdleOne: darn it, that sucks... I just got my ubuntu usb drive | 02:35 |

| Chr|s | I am having issues viewing YouTube videos | 02:36 |
| IdleOne | welcome. | 02:36 |
| dominicdinada | bobNIX: wireshark and alot of utils are ported to windows... also you could virtualbox/pc. vmware a slave to capture packets from your windows machine | 02:36 |
| User_San | hey guys, i am trying to start lucid lynx liveCD on my pc, but everytime i get "out of frequency" error.... | 02:36 |

| IdleOne | chris|: install flashplugin_installer | 02:36 |
| IdleOne | chris|: install flashplugin-installer | 02:37 |
| IdleOne | err double fail | 02:37 |
| Chr|s | ok :) | 02:37 |
| bikcmp | k, off to reinstall ubuntu! :) | 02:37 |
| usagi | ahh I see, installing the bad plugins fixed it | 02:37 |
| MTec007 | hello all, and good evening. I am having problems with flash. I installed chromium-browser and i go to youtube and it tells me to install the latest flash player, but adobe.com says chromium comes with the latest player so i install flashplugin-installer and try again, i get the same message but other sites with show flash after i installed flashplugin-installer | 02:37 |
| dominicdinada | bobNIX: Someone else can correct me if I am wrong but VirtualBox is better because it comes with the network bridge in the installer where with say virtual pc you need to take alot more steps to network it correcrly | 02:37 |
| usagi | the one MP3 plugin thats apparantly legal sucks, but the bad one works best | 02:37 |
| bobNIX | dominicdinada, I was getting UDP flooded on that IP under windows and my firewall software, which is a piece of crap (outpost something) basically FROZE my PC when the UDP flood started | 02:37 |
| bobNIX | Was curious how Linux would handle the UDP flood | 02:38 |
| Chr|s | IdleOne: yeah already installed | 02:38 |

| meoblast001 | hi | 02:38 |
| meoblast001 | my mom's computer is having this issue where most of her applications can't grab the Xorg mouse | 02:38 |
| meoblast001 | what could be some possible causes? | 02:38 |
| IdleOne | Chr|s: try www.youtube.com/html5 just click the link on that page and almost all the videos will work | 02:38 |
| bodwick | usagi problem solved? :) | 02:39 |
| Chr|s | IdleOne: ok thanks | 02:39 |
| usagi | bodwick, yes but apparantly only with illegal plugins | 02:39 |
| dominicdinada | bobNIX: Angithum Outpost Pro is the best Windows Firewall in my opinion after many years of usage. It most likely is your settings because upon attacks it bans for 72 hours on mine but on a normal install it is defaulted to 5 mins | 02:39 |
| bodwick | usagi what's illegal about them? | 02:40 |
| usagi | idk it says they arent legal in the US | 02:40 |
| usagi | but it installed them anyway | 02:40 |
| Chr|s | IdleOne: nice, look at that, it worked :) | 02:40 |
| bodwick | usagi ok, im from europe so i didnt even know :) | 02:40 |
| bobNIX | dominicdinada, I had the ban time to high, thing is it BLOCKED the ip but still was going slow-motion afterwards, I was getting about 1000 UDP packets/5seconds | 02:40 |
| usagi | lol I dont care it works | 02:40 |
| IdleOne | Chr|s: yeah, like I said some of the videos won't but it's better then nothing | 02:40 |
| === zkriesse_ is now known as Guest89558 | ||
| meoblast001 | hm, usagi, you installing patented codecs? | 02:41 |
| dominicdinada | bobNIX: ya that is pretty nasty :P | 02:41 |
| IdleOne | Chr|s: you did restart chromium after installing the flashplugin? | 02:41 |
| dominicdinada | brb | 02:41 |
| usagi | meoblast001, no the bad ones from the repos | 02:41 |
| usagi | ffmpeg or something | 02:41 |
| matthewopersico | eek - had caps lock on. sorry. ByE | 02:41 |
| meoblast001 | ah | 02:41 |
| Chr|s | IdleOne: no I did not | 02:41 |
| meoblast001 | from a personal perspective, i don't respect software patents when it comes to using software, but take that as my opinion, not my advice | 02:42 |
| IdleOne | Chr|s: :) well you can go back to the youtube.com/html5 link and opt out of the html5 testing then restart your browser to test flash | 02:42 |
| bobNIX | dominicdinada, basically my PC was behaving like I was running Crysis and streaming it at the same time with a 256 mb card | 02:42 |
| IdleOne | Chr|s: if it still doesn't work, you already know how to get around it | 02:42 |
| Chr|s | IdleOne: ahh it is working now without the html5 | 02:43 |
| IdleOne | Chr|s: glad to hear it. | 02:44 |
| raj__ | Gh0st75: the utils the lib and driver | 02:44 |
| bobNIX | dominicdinada, yet it didnt freeze when I had windows firewall running | 02:44 |
| Gh0st75 | k, following those steps now, still 45 mins left to the download | 02:44 |
| raj__ | Gh0st75: sorry for the late reply you need to utils / lib (library) / and Driver | 02:44 |
| bobNIX | dominicdinada, well thanks for the help, buh bye | 02:45 |
| Firefishe | I'm using ubuntu 10.04. When using gpg to create a standard RSA key pair, I get this message on the terminal: http://www.pastebin.ca/1932121 - nothing appears to happen for a *very long time*. I end up doing a CTRL-C to stop the process. | 02:45 |
| raj__ | Gh0st75: the first download is the largest its downloading the required file sto let you compile .. your downloading the build-essential | 02:45 |
| raj__ | Gh0st75: the frst build-essential is what lets you compile stuff | 02:46 |
| Gh0st75 | yeah, only on a 3mb connection, so it's taking a bit...having some black cherry wine while i wait :) | 02:46 |
| raj__ | Gh0st75: the drivers are in kilobytes .. takes seconds to download.. but few minutes to compile | 02:46 |
| ShapeShifter499 | hi | 02:47 |
| raj__ | Gh0st75: lol | 02:47 |
| ShapeShifter499 | grub is not showing up on my netbook install at boot can I change this? | 02:47 |
| CkhiKuzad | is there a working voice-to-text program for ubuntu? | 02:47 |
| raj__ | Gh0st75: did you go to alsa's site to look at the latest? the ones in the tutorial i gave you are old (1.0.20) | 02:47 |
| meoblast001 | anyone know why a system might have issues grabbing the xorg mouse? | 02:47 |
| Gh0st75 | 1.0.23 are what the wgets in the guide refer to, and that's the newest on the site | 02:48 |
| raj__ | Gh0st75: the site is: http://www.alsa-project.org you should get download links for the newer drivers there | 02:48 |
| raj__ | Gh0st75: great :) | 02:48 |
| mom | bodwick, i cant get it to work on the old kernel either | 02:49 |
| raj__ | Gh0st75: hope this helps as they added new nvidia audio cards with the new release .. | 02:50 |
| mom | bodwick, maybe i should just reinstall tomorrow | 02:50 |
| bodwick | mom same info about kernel not loaded? | 02:50 |
| bodwick | *module | 02:50 |
| mom | bodwick, yep | 02:50 |
| bodwick | mom uname -r | 02:50 |
| Gh0st75 | cool, i think the macmini's hardware is just a poor fit for ubuntu, otherwise i'm sure it'd work out of the box | 02:51 |
| mom | bodwick, 2.6.32-22-generic | 02:51 |
| raj__ | Gh0st75: yeah you are right :) i did not notice that .. good no need to fetch anything new its all in the guide... ( i qrote it a while back) and updated it i guess without remembering :) | 02:51 |
| Gh0st75 | wireless required me to change from wpa to wep (not a fix but a workaround), and still can't get video effects enabled to play with compiz, but one thing at a time | 02:51 |
| bodwick | mom hmm .. try older nvidia drivers? not current? | 02:51 |
| raj__ | Gh0st75: we will get to your graphics .. after sound | 02:52 |
| bodwick | mom there should be two more versions available | 02:52 |
| Gh0st75 | yeah, i'm not worried about getting wpa working, since i need wep for my DS to connect anyway | 02:52 |
| raj__ | Gh0st75: about the graphics.... its nvidia should supported.. did you try looking for drivers under Admin > hardware drivers ? in your menu? | 02:53 |
| Gh0st75 | yeah, it installed drivers for wireless and for audio | 02:54 |
| Gh0st75 | er wireless and video i mean | 02:54 |
| pdk | pop quiz | 02:54 |
| raj__ | Gh0st75: what drivers did it install nvidia_current? | 02:54 |
| Gh0st75 | yep, that's the ones | 02:55 |
| pdk | what sort of issues could prevent a sabrent pci-802g from being detected as such in a 64 bit lucid install | 02:55 |
| pdk | or in other words why it done broke :( | 02:55 |
| raj__ | Gh0st75: did you restart after that? | 02:55 |
| Gh0st75 | yep, they were installed right after i finished the fresh ubuntu install | 02:55 |
| vlcn | hey guys | 02:55 |

| raj__ | Gh0st75: no i mean did you reboot right after installing the drivers?? | 02:55 |
| Gh0st75 | yes | 02:56 |
| seekwill | I seriously feel that the word processors in Ubuntu... suck. | 02:56 |
| mom | bodwick, ? | 02:56 |
| seekwill | Either that, or I shouldn't be comparing it to Apple's Pages. | 02:56 |
| raj__ | Gh0st75: okay we will see what we can do. ltry fixing your sound first i hope it works" | 02:56 |
| mom | bodwick, what do i install? | 02:56 |
| vlcn | using Universal USB Installer, but I seem to be just getting a SYSLINUX message when I boot theu sb drive | 02:56 |
| vlcn | usb* | 02:56 |
| vlcn | I've previously done with with 10.04 and it worked fine | 02:56 |
| raj__ | Gh0st75: so you have a MAC but wanted ubuntu :P what gives :) | 02:57 |
| bodwick | you have more than one version of nvidia drivers in system->administration->drivers, right ? | 02:57 |
| Gh0st75 | wanted something with a small footprint, plus wanted the best of all worlds | 02:57 |
| mrpink57 | anyone have the issue of seeing a drive in gparted within the live cd but cannot install to it through the install option? | 02:58 |

| bodwick | netbook__ firefox? | 03:04 |
| mrpink57 | raj__: that's not impossible. its a pretty old 36gb raptor. I'm not too concerned about it but was more curious if this was a common issue. | 03:04 |
| raj__ | mrpink57: not a common issue. could be a bad srive try repartitioning smaller partitions and install oin that | 03:05 |
| pocoyo | google logo logo.... | 03:05 |
| mrpink57 | raj__: I tried that and tried ntfs, fat32, ext4 | 03:05 |
| raj__ | mrpink57: then most probabaly a bad drive | 03:06 |
| mrpink57 | raj__: I think a virtual server will be a better option for this. Linux is a part of what I do all day I don't need more dual boots. | 03:06 |

| mrpink57 | whosjose: isoburner | 03:06 |

| valbaca | mrpink57, all I can think of is a) check the disk b) try the 10.04.1 disc c) make sure you have a 64-bit processor d) use the i386 unless you have MORE THAN 4GB (i you have exactly 4GB, I recommend 32-bit version | 03:07 |
| mrpink57 | whosjose: its a real program i wasnt poking fun if thats what you may have thought | 03:07 |
| valbaca | whosjose, brasero has never given me a problem | 03:07 |
| mrpink57 | valbaca: it's exactly 4gb | 03:07 |
| raj__ | whosjose: for windows or linux .. linux braser / k3b windows try imgburn | 03:08 |
| whosjose | so braser is the winner | 03:08 |
| raj__ | whosjose: yeah sorry its brasero its in the default on ubuntu / linux mint | 03:08 |
| Gh0st75 | i used k3b last time i tried linux, gonna give braser a try this time | 03:09 |

| mrpink57 | whosjose: what speed did you burn at? | 03:10 |
| Black_Phantom | whosjose, use k3b | 03:10 |
| valbaca | mrpink57, I have exactly 4GB as well and the x64 version would only see 3.8 (just like the 32-bit), plus it comes with all the flash player problems. Trust me, save yourself and use 32-bit | 03:10 |
| geoffmcc | trying rework a startup script to include user to run as. however, when i do it, it makes the server not see config file. i using $USER $DAEMON $CONFIG. is there a char i need to use between? | 03:10 |

| kneaux | henry puedo ayudar | 03:11 |
| raj__ | whosjose: burn it at a slow speed. go to options and choose a slower speed | 03:11 |
| mrpink57 | whosjose: I usually burn OS cd's at 3x | 03:11 |

| sacarlson | Xubuntu_Newb: try put your dir in bettween 'xxxx' single quotes | 03:34 |
| mrpink57 | Xubuntu_Newb: you could try ~/Downloads/Amsn\Scripts" | 03:35 |
| mrpink57 | you could also in th end rename the folder to aMsn_Scripts if all it is used for is your bash script | 03:36 |
| Xubuntu_Newb | Yeah, but I want to learn how to do this thing anyway :) I'm a very stubborn guy | 03:37 |
| sacarlson | mrpink57: directories are case sensitive also not like windows | 03:37 |
| Xubuntu_Newb | Yeah I double checked though | 03:38 |
| Xubuntu_Newb | And I used single quotes too, also did not work :( | 03:38 |
| sacarlson | Xubuntu_Newb: are you sure that your / is not suposed to be \ ? | 03:38 |
| sacarlson | Xubuntu_Newb: must be a typeo | 03:38 |

| mikeliss | Hi, I have a drive that's dying, and I want to replace it by copying all of its contents to another drive. I was thinking of using dd in a livecd. Can anybody help me do this? It should be pretty simple, but I've never done it before. | 03:42 |
| pfifo | How dose upstart work? | 03:42 |
| kneaux | mikeliss i just read about something called remastersys | 03:42 |
| kneaux | might do what you need | 03:42 |
| mikeliss | kneaux: was that on WebUpD8, or whatever it's called? | 03:43 |
| kneaux | http://www.ubuntugeek.com/creating-custom-ubuntu-live-cd-with-remastersys.html | 03:43 |
| kneaux | that's all i've read | 03:43 |
| kneaux | but it sounds pretty powerful | 03:43 |
| pfifo | Where is the documentation on how to use upstart? I need to create/modify atleast one of its scripts. | 03:44 |
| Xubuntu_Newb | THis does not make SENSE!?! I tried cd ~/Downloads/aMSN\ Scripts in terminal and it actually changed! But I typed it back into the script and again it fails me! | 03:44 |
| mikeliss | kneaux: I don't think that's what I'm after...it might work, but I'd rather use dd, or similar imaging techniques. | 03:45 |
| kneaux | k, i've never used dd | 03:45 |
| kneaux | sorry | 03:45 |
| valbaca | +1 remastersys | 03:45 |
| mikeliss | yeah, remastersys could work, but I have the two drives (the dying and the new) currently mounted, so I just need to move the data across properly... | 03:46 |
| mikeliss | I'm also pretty sure it will be more consistent by doing it with dd...I want to preserve the partition scheme and everything. | 03:47 |
| phoenix_ | have problem with k3b help please | 03:47 |

| phoenix_ | pfifo: whats wodim | 03:48 |
| ChogyDan | phoenix_: use pastebin | 03:48 |
| phoenix_ | ChogyDan: ok | 03:48 |
| pfifo | phoenix_, the command that kb3 uses to burn an iso. | 03:48 |

| phoenix_ | ChogyDan: http://paste.ubuntu.com/488102/ | 03:49 |
| mikeliss | anybody have any experience with dd? | 03:50 |
| thune3 | Xubuntu_Newb: you are just trying to change the path inside the script, or you want running the script to change your working dir in the shell you are in? | 03:50 |
| ChogyDan | phoenix_: beats me | 03:50 |
| phoenix_ | pfifo: do you think the problem is with the frontend | 03:50 |
| pfifo | so if im seeing this correctly, during startup, upstart is calling a program called mountall to run fsck and mount my filesystems, and I have zero control over the way mountall actually performs this task? | 03:50 |
| valbaca | dd if=the"in"fileOrLocation of=the"out"fileOrLocation | 03:50 |
| pfifo | phoenix_, thats why im telling you to burn from the cli, if it works then yes, if it fails then no | 03:51 |
| ChogyDan | phoenix_: are you sure it isn't working? try adding more files? | 03:51 |
| valbaca | for example: dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/null (this puts random information into the "black hole" of linux, i.e. /dev/null) | 03:51 |
| phoenix_ | ChogyDan: i burns iso with a decent size, but it fails when i tried an iso of size 4 mb | 03:52 |
| valbaca | be VERY careful that you DO NOT of=/dev/hda, it will wipe your hard drive | 03:52 |
| casio1374633 | so quiet | 03:53 |
| mikeliss | valbaca: What do you mean by that last line? That looks like what I thought I needed to do? | 03:53 |
| ofan | Hi~~ | 03:54 |
| phoenix_ | is there any frontend for wodim other than k3b | 03:54 |

| sacarlson | Chrono_Masters: shipit livecd? that maynot be a copy of ubuntu. maybe try download a real copy and try again. | 04:37 |
| bazhang | sacarlson, shipit sends out cd's | 04:38 |
| bikcmp | Hi, how would I tell evolution to put all mail into a single folder? | 04:38 |
| bazhang | !shipit | 04:38 |
| ubottu | Shipit is a service that sends free Ubuntu and Kubuntu CDs. See http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and http://shipit.kubuntu.org - Shipit will send !Lucid (10.04) CDs | 04:38 |
| sasori2501 | crohakon: and iConfused, cool, right on. sounds good to me, thats pretty much all i need. ill have to save the adress book seperately i guess. | 04:38 |
| sacarlson | bazhang: Chrono_Masters: I stand corrected thank you | 04:38 |
| crohakon | bikcmp, evolution does that by default... | 04:38 |

| bikcmp | crohakon: it doesn't seem to be doing it for me... | 04:38 |
| ElementalDragon | *sigh* | 04:38 |
| sasori2501 | iConfused: so how can i make that auotbackup as you were referring to?? | 04:38 |
| * bikcmp waves to iConfused | 04:38 | |
| bikcmp | :p | 04:38 |
| bazhang | Chrono_Masters, try some different boot options; failing that try the alternate cd | 04:39 |
| kneaux | ooh. | 04:39 |
| bikcmp | crohakon: maybe I just need to restart | 04:39 |
| bazhang | !alternate | Chrono_Masters | 04:39 |
| ubottu | Chrono_Masters: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 04:39 |
| iConfused | sasori2501, get dropbox | 04:39 |
| ElementalDragon | So..... i'm thinking about trying 10.10 beta.... but get the feeling i'll have the same issue as when i tried Lucid | 04:39 |
| kneaux | is it possible to ssh to a particular machine connected to an ethernet switch | 04:39 |
| bazhang | ElementalDragon, #ubuntu+1 for that | 04:39 |
| crohakon | sasori2501, the content of that directory includes everything in your profile(s)... meaning even your contacts are saved. | 04:39 |
| Fableflame | I just uninstalled Conky through the terminal, but it's still running on my desktop? | 04:39 |
| Chrono_Masters | bazhang, no chance. i have limited internet here, that's why i get the liveCD | 04:40 |
| sasori2501 | iConfused: dropbox is a package install or extension?? and crohakon, wow thats great! | 04:40 |
| sacarlson | kneaux: yes | 04:40 |
| bazhang | Chrono_Masters, no chance to try boot options? | 04:40 |
| kneaux | cool i don't have to kill myself | 04:40 |
| kneaux | what way is that | 04:40 |
| sasori2501 | crohakon: ahhhhhhhhh that makes snes | 04:40 |
| sasori2501 | sense | 04:40 |
| sasori2501 | i checked the properities and its 142 mb | 04:41 |
| sacarlson | kneaux: the other machine would require to have a ssh-server running | 04:41 |
| sasori2501 | now it makes way more sense | 04:41 |
| Chrono_Masters | bazhang, yes, i tried to enter single mode... no changes | 04:41 |
| kneaux | well they have the same ip | 04:41 |
| kneaux | how do i address the server | 04:41 |
| kneaux | and not...my laptop here | 04:41 |
| Wavesonics | i forget what port my smtp server is on | 04:41 |
| bazhang | Chrono_Masters, there are other bootoptions you realize | 04:41 |
| crohakon | sasori2501, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-dropbox-in-ubuntu-9-10karmic9-04jaunty8-10intrepid8-04hardy.html | 04:41 |
| Wavesonics | is there a way i acn tell? | 04:41 |
| ElementalDragon | bazhang: well.... i'm pretty sure that any issue i'd have with 10.10 would be the same issue i had with Lucid.... so i'm pretty sure either channel would work | 04:41 |
| bullgard4 | Ubuntu provides the kernels 2.6.32-24-generic #41-Ubuntu and 2.6.32-24-generic #42-Ubuntu. What is the name of this Ubuntu number (41)? | 04:42 |
| Chrono_Masters | bazhang, can you list them all? | 04:42 |
| iConfused | sasori2501, you have to get the .deb from dropbox's site | 04:42 |
| iConfused | I'll get you a link | 04:42 |
| sacarlson | kneaux: one thing they can't have the same IP that would cause a conflict. you would have to install ssh-server on the target sudo apt-get install ssh | 04:42 |
| extraclassic | Wavesonics: smtp is either 25 or 587 | 04:42 |
| === Aaron53672 is now known as Aaron5367|detach | ||
| Wavesonics | hhmmm | 04:42 |
| bazhang | ElementalDragon, then you would think wrong; #ubuntu+1 is for 10.10 discussion Only | 04:42 |
| thune3 | Fableflame: uninstalling usually just removes the files. an open instance will still run until it is killed (files actually don't get deleted until all open filehandles are closed) | 04:42 |
| Wavesonics | extraclassic, hhmm i tried both and cant seem to connect | 04:42 |
| kneaux | yeah the ethernet switch gives them the same ip | 04:42 |
| timdrake | guys i gav a problem with my installation using ubuntu 9.04 | 04:42 |
| Fableflame | thune3, oh okay, thanks, I was kind of worried | 04:42 |
| bazhang | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions Chrono_Masters have a read | 04:43 |
| timdrake | after installation i replaced my monitor then i cant see any video | 04:43 |
| extraclassic | Wavesonics: something besides a wrong port then | 04:43 |
| Chrono_Masters | bazhang, ty | 04:43 |
| timdrake | what should i do? | 04:43 |
| ElementalDragon | ... what i'm trying to say is.... i HAD a problem with Lucid that i never figured out how to work around. If i know how to work around it in Lucid.... then the same thing would probably apply to 10.10. Would be odd to try to get support for something i haven't even downloaded yet, let alone attempted to use | 04:43 |
| sacarlson | kneaux: you must mean by same ip that they reside on the same ip mask? on the client side just got to terminal and ssh ipoftarget. | 04:43 |
| bazhang | ElementalDragon, then fix the issue with 10.04 | 04:44 |
| sasori2501 | iConfused: hmmm dropbox seems to rely on a web based service... not really looking for an online solution. | 04:44 |
| ElementalDragon | .... that's kinda the point of my joining this channel. | 04:44 |
| === juanc is now known as spartan117 | ||
| bazhang | ElementalDragon, so ask a question then | 04:44 |
| ElementalDragon | so i could figure out what caused the issue in Lucid, and try it in 10.10 if i download that | 04:44 |
| ElementalDragon | Well... i had tried using Lucid quite a while ago.... and every time i tried to boot, i think i'd get as far as a black screen with the build information in the bottom corner.... if i even got that far, i don't remember | 04:45 |
| bazhang | ElementalDragon, so you don't have Ubuntu now? | 04:45 |
| kneaux | sacarlson: i currently have this laptop (that i'm ircing from) and my server together on an ethernet switch, sharing the ip 137.229.82.30. i want to connect from here to the server, but i'll also want to connect from elsewhere (other ip addresses). i don't know how ethernet switches work, is there a protocol for addressing a specific machine at a particular address? | 04:45 |
| ElementalDragon | someone told me it'd probably be due to a dual-GPU setup.... but seeing as i have a GTX 295, i wouldn't be able to help with that | 04:45 |
| ElementalDragon | no... i don't have it installed right now | 04:46 |
| Fableflame | ElementalDragon, so what are you using now? | 04:46 |
| ElementalDragon | .... Win7 | 04:46 |
| bazhang | ElementalDragon, so what was the support issue? this is not a complaints channel | 04:46 |
| murlidhar | ElementalDragon: even livecd don't bootup ? | 04:46 |
| thune3 | ElementalDragon: you meta conversation is sort of pointless, presenting your problem and asking questions about it is the best approach | 04:46 |
| sasori2501 | iConfused: and crohakon thanks guys! will keep that as the bkup | 04:47 |
| bazhang | ElementalDragon, and you never even tried the alternate cd? nor any bootoptions? | 04:47 |
| ElementalDragon | no..... nothing was able to boot. Someone said it probably had something to do with ACPI.... but i couldn't figure out if there was a command to do so | 04:47 |
| bazhang | ElementalDragon, you didn't md5 the iso, burn slowly and do the disk integrity check? | 04:47 |
| bazhang | !md5 | ElementalDragon | 04:47 |
| ubottu | ElementalDragon: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 04:47 |
| murlidhar | ElementalDragon: you can try booting the live cd using no-apci too but first check md5 as bazhang suggested you. | 04:48 |
| bazhang | ElementalDragon, as you are not even running ubuntu nor trying to, nothing can be done. | 04:48 |
| sacarlson | kneaux: you two systems you have are on a lan (local area network) they each have an address on that lan. on the internet they are seen as having the same address. so to find the address of each you can do the command ifconfig at a term. this is the address you will login with on ssh localy | 04:48 |
| ElementalDragon | think i might have tried no-acpi.... but even then, i only got slightly further in the boot process. think that's when i saw the build information and only a black screen | 04:49 |
| wogamycrazy | hi | 04:50 |
| ElementalDragon | hi | 04:50 |
| kneaux | sacarlson: which address? | 04:50 |
| sacarlson | kneaux: if you plan to connect to them from outside your local network from the Internet to one or both then you will require setup of your router port forwarding. | 04:50 |
| ignatius | sacarlson: any idea how I might just uninstall the nvidia drivers via tty? | 04:50 |
| murlidhar | ElementalDragon: it happens sometimes if the image does not get downloaded properly or burned properly. please do a md5 check just to analytically try to solve the issue. | 04:50 |
| kneaux | there's no router, it's an ethernet switch | 04:50 |
| sacarlson | ignatius: just do a full remove and install again | 04:51 |
| ignatius | I need the package name I guess | 04:51 |
| ignatius | nvidia-something | 04:51 |
| kneaux | ahh okay found the local address | 04:51 |
| bazhang | ignatius, settings | 04:52 |
| ignatius | bazhang: I'm in cli | 04:52 |
| ignatius | I can't get to x | 04:52 |
| ElementalDragon | .... which was the disk that was the installer, not live-boot..... the Alternate disc? | 04:52 |
| bazhang | that's using cli ignatius | 04:52 |
| bazhang | ElementalDragon, correct | 04:52 |
| ignatius | I just want a vanilla xorg.conf that's not going to whine about the nvidia .so | 04:52 |

| sacarlson | ignatius: I think apt-get purge driverpackage not sure the name of the propraitary package you have installed | 04:53 |

| phoenixandthor | that's way too rich for me :) | 05:09 |

| jjk9 | there is a way to rescript rm so that you can undelete | 05:14 |
| Maahes | phoenixandthor: I'm more limited off the hardware I'm running off of than the USB, yeah if you're planning on doing lots of write intensive or read-disk intensive operations (running certain types of servers) a usb isn't going to cut it, because they're not optimized for speed | 05:14 |

| bazhang | phoenixandthor, that's not so | 05:24 |
| ProfessorBacon | understood, i'd just rather have it work in whatever app i use to download podcasts | 05:24 |
| phoenixandthor | VLC, xmms, and a lot of other ones | 05:24 |
| bazhang | !xmms | phoenixandthor | 05:24 |
| ubottu | phoenixandthor: xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. | 05:24 |
| ProfessorBacon | i had it working in banshee, but banshee is a bitch | 05:24 |
| phoenixandthor | Oh, forgot about certain devices, like iPods and some smart phoens that also function as media players | 05:24 |

| ProfessorBacon | wish i never bought this Zen. anything on the market comparable is an ipod, and this very expensive. | 05:27 |
| ProfessorBacon | *thus | 05:27 |
| phoenixandthor | Oh, a Zen.... | 05:27 |
| mneptok | ProfessorBacon: does the Zen have a poper MSC mode? | 05:27 |
| mneptok | *proper | 05:27 |
| phoenixandthor | Keep in mind that it has store and play files somehow, so don't give up | 05:28 |
| ProfessorBacon | mneptok: msc? | 05:28 |
| artin | When I try to install the alternate ubuntu, it doesn't continue, because my wifi card isn't detected and therefore no mirror server can be found. Can I install without the mirror server? | 05:28 |
| mneptok | ProfessorBacon: Mass Storage Controller | 05:29 |
| mneptok | ProfessorBacon: look through the menus to see if you can put the device in MSC mode | 05:29 |
| phoenixandthor | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZEN_(portable_media_player) | 05:29 |
| phoenixandthor | that article mentions something called libmtp | 05:30 |
| phoenixandthor | Just trying to help here, not an expert (if there are any in the room, please speak up) | 05:30 |

| extraclassic | will rhythmbox do album art and seperate albums so it's not a giant list | 05:31 |
| phoenixandthor | I think it does that extraclassic | 05:32 |
| phoenixandthor | Of course, if it doesn't organize your content the way you want it, then perhaps you could get your file manager to it | 05:32 |
| frobisher | jhgffdddsss | 05:33 |

| picard1400 | help guys i just got a synology NAS and it has busybox installed... I wanted to know how i can install w3m on this thing? | 05:35 |
| sticky | Does it run Ubuntu? | 05:36 |
| phoenixandthor | I have found that when using Linux, it helps to get a little script happy from time to time, but rhythmbox will do the cover art and such | 05:36 |
| extraclassic | phoenixandthor: if i knew php, i'd make my own database and web interface, but I can't at the moment | 05:37 |
| phoenixandthor | lol | 05:37 |
| jjk9 | extraclassic: you could leeap into ruby on rails and skip learning php | 05:38 |
| phoenixandthor | rhythmbox and amorok should support the cover art for you, as well as a few other media player apps. In most cases, you just have to adjust settings related to pulling the cover art from the web | 05:38 |

| jjk9 | or send yr errors to a file if u paranoid or on a public web where don't want folks to see | 05:42 |
| gregbair | RockMeAmadeus, in your php.ini, you have to set displayerrors (or display_errors) to on, and then set the error level you want to see | 05:42 |
| RockMeAmadeus | thanks | 05:43 |
| jjk9 | I set my highest and it goes to file | 05:43 |

| Spyzer | umm some help please..... | 06:17 |
| tehowe | Spyzer: there's a way to save off your list of installed programs and feed it back into ubuntu if you reinstall. That and restoring your home directory should make most things go back to how they were. At least that's what I understand from the Doctorow | 06:17 |
| sinister | well not using grub as far as I know ubuntu is the only thing installed on my computer | 06:17 |
| phoenixandthor | Well, by default, GRUB is installed | 06:17 |

| Spyzer | wuth all the upgrades removed | 06:21 |
| xnixan | is there any ide to do it under ubuntu | 06:21 |
| Spyzer | ? | 06:21 |
| seidos | my system just lost mouse and keyboard input, but i could still hear music playing. any ideas? | 06:21 |
| phoenixandthor | xnixan, if you are talking about a file that was originally written on a Windows machine, then there may not be an easy way to do it | 06:22 |
| seidos | it was after i changed the brightness on the lcd screen using the shortcut keys, hmmm could be why | 06:22 |
| jjk9 | seidos replug fr starters | 06:22 |
| seidos | jjk9, replug what? | 06:22 |
| jjk9 | as in unlug and replug the keyboardand or the mmouse | 06:22 |
| seidos | jjk9, oh, it's a laptop | 06:23 |
| extraclassic | dendrite: it's a waste to try to record music in linux | 06:23 |
| phoenixandthor | AFAIK, it could be done with Mono, but adjustmets to the source code may be required | 06:23 |
| jjk9 | not so easy then lol | 06:23 |
| xnixan | phoenixandthor, yes, that is exactly what i mean! | 06:23 |
| jjk9 | u could try an external keyboard | 06:23 |
| * seidos nods | 06:23 | |
| holocene | Anyone know how to add a key on Luks? what is command? | 06:23 |
| dendrite | extraclassic, is there an alternative? besides going to mac or windows? | 06:23 |
| seidos | yeah, i suppose if i had one i could. i'll see if it happens again without adjusting screen brightness | 06:23 |
| phoenixandthor | Any Luks and Mono experts in the house? Your assistance is required | 06:24 |
| jjk9 | seidos maybe a key stuck? | 06:24 |
| Spyzer | tehowe: aptitude syays no command as dselect-upgrade or deselect-upgrade | 06:24 |
| Spyzer | tried both | 06:24 |
| tehowe | Spyzer: It won't put you back to the beginning of anything AFAIK but if you sudo dpkg --get-selections > packagelist right now AND back up your home directory then reinstall Ubunutu from scratch, my understanding is that sending that package list back to dpkg and restoring your home directory from backup will get you back to where you were prior to reinstalling | 06:24 |
| extraclassic | dendrite: not really....i use windows and ableton live....people like Logic also | 06:24 |
| seidos | jjk9, no beeping noise | 06:24 |
| xnixan | phoenixandthor, anyway, how to start compiling at least? thanks! | 06:24 |
| jjk9 | but modifier keys don't beep | 06:24 |
| artinfrieden | I cannot install Ubuntu alternate because after the step with the mirror server it doesn't continue | 06:24 |
| Spyzer | but this aptitude?? | 06:25 |
| Spyzer | its saying aptitude doesn't have super-cow powers | 06:25 |
| phoenixandthor | << never worked with mono, hence need for mono expert (Please? anyone?) | 06:25 |

| ubottu | phoenixandthor: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude | 06:25 |
| Spyzer | tehowe: is something wrong with aptitude | 06:25 |
| Spyzer | ? | 06:25 |
| phoenixandthor | not me, xnixan | 06:25 |
| tehowe | ?? Can anyone shed light onthe sudo aptitude **dselect-upgrade ** command? | 06:25 |
| xnixan | LOL | 06:26 |
| phoenixandthor | ... | 06:26 |
| bazhang | phoenixandthor, you are adding unnecessary noise to the channel with that | 06:26 |
| artin123 | sry, when trieing to install the Ubuntu alternat, it doesn't continue after the "mirror server" step. I think it is because my wifi card isn't recognized. Can I still install it somehoew? | 06:26 |
| ElementalDragon | hello again, bazhang | 06:26 |
| phoenixandthor | okay, I'll shutup | 06:26 |
| extraclassic | dendrite: since your card wouldn't allow you to use Pro Tools, you'll need to use Cubase, Ableton, or Logic | 06:26 |
| bazhang | ElementalDragon, there is no wallpaper on the alternate cd | 06:26 |
| xnixan | anyway thanks phoenixandthor for the help :-) | 06:26 |
| bazhang | !compile > xnixan | 06:27 |
| ubottu | xnixan, please see my private message | 06:27 |
| ElementalDragon | .... well apparently there is when it gets to the login screen after installing.... otherwise there's something seriously screwed up with the alternate CD | 06:27 |
| tehowe | Spyzer: I'm just |ing you what I got off of boingboing, I'm hitting the limits of my Ubuntu knowledge sorry | 06:27 |
| bazhang | ElementalDragon, no there is not. you downloaded the wrong cd then | 06:27 |
| austinium | Spyzer: are you able to login using the terminal(CTRL+ALT+F1)? | 06:28 |
| jjk9 | tehowe: **dselect-upgrade **? not found in man aptitude... | 06:28 |
| dendrite | extraclassic, thx but im not interested in those programs | 06:28 |
| ElementalDragon | "ubuntu-10.10-beta-alternate-amd64.iso" | 06:28 |
| dendrite | i just want to get LMMS to work :) | 06:28 |
| bazhang | ElementalDragon, thats not supported here | 06:28 |
| bazhang | ElementalDragon, #ubuntu+1 as I said before | 06:28 |
| ElementalDragon | it's the same freakin issue as i had in 10.04.... and that channel is practically dead silent | 06:29 |
| ubuntu_ | anyone downloaded "Uberstudent" | 06:29 |
| bazhang | ElementalDragon, this is not up for debate. thats the correct channel. be patient | 06:29 |
| extraclassic | dendrite: those are the best programs.....gearslutz is a good place to do research on a setup | 06:30 |

| chris59 | I know this is a newbie question | 06:30 |
| Spyzer | austinium : yes | 06:30 |
| bazhang | tehowe, the clone command? | 06:30 |
| bazhang | !clone | 06:30 |
| ubottu | 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 | 06:30 |
| ElementalDragon | ok.... do you know what would cause the issue in 10.04, then? | 06:30 |
| bazhang | ElementalDragon, get the alternate 10.04 cd and we can troubleshoot | 06:30 |
| * ElementalDragon sighs | 06:31 | |
| jjk9 | tehowe: that's cos u said aptitude...wot u want is in apt-get. Do man apt-get from a terminal and read all about it | 06:32 |
| sinister | k login screen taken care ofnow thanxs chr|s | 06:33 |
| ElementalDragon | so you're not even going to bother to attempt to help because of a negligible change to the OS when 10.10 is replicating the same EXACT issue i had in 10.04.... as if it were a completely different OS? | 06:34 |
| bazhang | ElementalDragon, please stop asking for assistance with the beta here. | 06:34 |
| ribblerob | is there any way to get visualizations working with banshee or amarok? | 06:34 |
| litropy | h, peeps. Where can I find an up to date blocklist? Looks like bluetack is on the fritz. | 06:34 |
| artin123 | Do I need a wifi card that is compatible with Ubuntu alternate to install it? | 06:35 |
| Spyzer | anyone to help me with the login and login and login | 06:35 |
| sinister | the initial boot screen in the /boot/grub folder, is it either the boot.img or boot.mod is what i need to look at to change that image | 06:35 |
| ElementalDragon | i'm not asking for help with the beta... i'm asking for help with an issue in 10.04 | 06:35 |
| bazhang | ElementalDragon, you just installed 10.10 | 06:35 |
| ElementalDragon | .... and you're telling me to download 10.04 and install it so i can come to the same exact point that i'm at now with no change | 06:36 |
| sisterd | hi guys.. running ubuntu 10.04 when I start up I don't have a visible cursor for about thef irst half hour. eventually it shows up, but is there a way to fix this? | 06:36 |
| tehowe | Spyzer jjk9 bazhang: Ah, good to know this needs some tweaking. What I was going off of was here: http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2010/07/cory-doctorow-what-i-do/ See the comment by -dsr- | 06:38 |
| JRummy16 | question: when I do `ls /some/directory | grep -i file_name | wc -l` I get the count but it is something like 12 :not found is there something I'm doing wrong or should do differently? | 06:38 |
| shauno | JRummy16: the backticks try to execute the results of what's inside them. if you do the same without them, you should just get the expected answer | 06:39 |
| sisterd | also, is there a way to get better volume control when playing videos? (10.04) | 06:40 |
| jjk9 | tehowe: ya just can't trust anyone these days lol | 06:40 |
| JRummy16 | shauno: thanks, that worked | 06:41 |
| tehowe | jjk9: Hehe well at least dumping your packagelist is a good idea for posterity | 06:41 |

| dendrite | indicator is running, but i can't see the sound applet. and audio is working fine too | 06:46 |

| Tempus_Fugit | Hey I have been watching some tutorial vids on youtube about command line and one thing I see them all do is somehow scroll thru previous commands in the terminal and they are not saying how they do that...I know about the tab to autocomplete but is it the same way to scroll through previous commands???? | 06:47 |
| dendrite | xangua: thx | 06:47 |
| jjk9 | tempus: use the up arrow | 06:48 |
| Tempus_Fugit | jjk9: ty | 06:48 |
| dhruvasagar | bazhang: I thought so, at least that's what I could make of firewire from the forums | 06:48 |

| bazhang | dhruvasagar, then camorama | 06:52 |
| bazhang | Excell-Home, should be a PPA for it | 06:52 |

| Dice-Man | someone has tested the samsung n150 on ubuntu 10.4 ? | 06:56 |
| artin123 | I cannot get further in the Ubuntu Alternate installation, because it stops at the step, where it asks for a mirror server. It cannot find it, maybe because my wifi card isn't supported. Then there is no option to continue, why? | 06:56 |
| Dice-Man | i cannot find tests about it on the web :( | 06:56 |
| rodeo | Yeah how to correct it , I am a new bee don't know the how to | 06:56 |

| ActionParsnip | austinium: has a command, you could add it to your startup | 07:04 |
| extraclassic | grub2 you need to edit the 40_custom file in /etc/grub.d | 07:04 |
| austinium | could this be a bug? | 07:05 |
| ActionParsnip | jjk9: then edit /etc/default/grub and delete quiet splash so the quotes exist but are empty. Then run: sudo update-grub | 07:05 |
| ActionParsnip | jjk9: it will make plymouth not load and you can observer the boot | 07:05 |
| ActionParsnip | austinium: if you add the command without sudo in /etc/rc.local it may work | 07:06 |

| sinister | is there a way to put a bootloader in a computer if it's just running ubuntu only | 07:34 |
| Spyzer | compiz is already the newest version says apt-get | 07:34 |
| thune3 | Spyzer: sounds like you are running a 2D driver now, or have borked GL | 07:34 |

| avi_ | Is there an eaiser way of mounting a CD from terminal (no DE) than doing mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/cdrom /cdrom ? | 07:41 |
| shauno | avi_: you could put a line in fstab to match it (with 'noauto' as one of the options so it's not done at boot) | 07:42 |
| jjk9 | avi_: u cud put that in a shell and then alias it | 07:42 |
| leonardo | buongiorno a tutti | 07:43 |

| avi_ | shauno, jjk9, Right right. Was just curious, thought I was maybe doing something wrong. | 07:44 |
| avi_ | Unrelated, does anyone know how to change the "Me Menu" mail notification icons? | 07:44 |
| shauno | avi_: /etc/fstab is pretty well commented, so it should work if you can follow instructions :) the useful options would be noauto,user so it's not mounted at boot, and non-root users can do the same. then just "mount /cdrom" would work. | 07:44 |

| Spyzer | is it because i am using compiz manager instead of emerald?? | 08:00 |
| Spyzer | is emerald lightweight or something | 08:00 |
| Spyzer | ? | 08:00 |
| soreau | !emerald | 08:00 |
| ubottu | emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. | 08:00 |
| frobisher | !cli | 08:01 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro | 08:01 |
| Spyzer | well that sems to be the issue | 08:01 |
| Spyzer | .. | 08:01 |

| === erana_ is now known as erana | ||
| jjk9 | avi_: gentoo for a pure hardened web server as can easily have least packages. also awesome package tools and security updates | 08:06 |
| avi_ | jjk9, Ah, I see. cool. | 08:07 |
| cast | jjk9: and what of the time delay in updating as you have to recompile for updates? | 08:08 |
| SwedeMike | spreda: sorry, wrong nick. | 08:08 |
| SwedeMike | spreda: it was spyzer I wanted to send to. | 08:08 |
| spreda | np | 08:08 |
| luftikuss | AC (1997) Adjustment | 08:09 |
| avi_ | cast, jjk9, Yeah that's the only real reason i'd pick Arch over Gentoo for that purpose. I can't really understand the benefit of using a compile-on-the-fly distro | 08:09 |
| Tempus_Fugit | night all!!! | 08:10 |
| cast | debian is nice and minimal, too | 08:10 |
| cast | should be a bit more familar to ubuntu users | 08:10 |
| avi_ | cast, Right, but if uber-bleeding edge is your thing, it's not really a substitute for a rolling distro. | 08:11 |
| cast | rolling distros don't have much place in production ;P | 08:11 |
| jjk9 | avi_: np updates are fine. Being a bad boy I recently rebooted first time for about 450 days (should really do say once a month) after upgrading all packages to latest. The server runs on happily while packages are compiling. The main advantage is very fine grained control of what packages you have. Top rate dependency checker and pkg search plus easy to write own installs for unsupported packages. But for a file server Ubuntu is easier. | 08:12 |
| avi_ | I don't get why. I mean, what end-user needs rolling? I thought rolling was for servers.. but I guess the potential for software regression isn't something a sysadmin would like to worry about :) | 08:13 |
| cast | why was the last linux root exploit? | 08:13 |
| avi_ | jjk9, Nice.. I can hardly stay in one distro for 4.5 hours lol | 08:14 |
| avi_ | cast, I'm sorry? | 08:14 |
| spinningcompass | cast: Getting the sysadm drunk. | 08:14 |
| cast | when* | 08:14 |
| avi_ | when he was using Ubuntu+3? | 08:14 |
| avi_ | lol | 08:14 |
| jjk9 | cast: depends on the kernel version | 08:14 |
| jjk9 | on my web server root exploits aren't so much a problem as I am the 1 and only shell user | 08:16 |
| cast | jjk9: of course it depends on the kernel version ;P, im asking what that last kernel version was | 08:16 |
| mikeliss | anybody know the new way of editing grub, since the menu no longer appears? | 08:17 |
| jjk9 | for me it was way back like 2.6.17 or so | 08:17 |
| jjk9 | |grub2 | 08:18 |
| itsux2bu | !grub2 | 08:18 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 08:18 |
| SwedeMike | jjk9: quite common that exploits are used to gain user priv on the machine, then they use local root exploits to gain root, it's much easier than to get root remotely. | 08:19 |
| SwedeMike | jjk9: so getting shell access with the web server user is fairly common. | 08:19 |
| jjk9 | SwedeMike: on my server users are in restricted shell | 08:20 |
| SwedeMike | jjk9: restricted how? | 08:21 |
| jjk9 | SwedeMike: rssh | 08:21 |
| avi_ | chroot jail? | 08:21 |
| SwedeMike | well, anyhow, if you have local users then it's even more important to keep things updated. | 08:21 |
| frobisher | sudo su | 08:21 |
| SwedeMike | and chroot and jails can be broken out of. | 08:21 |
| frobisher | password | 08:22 |
| avi_ | this is true | 08:22 |
| Dr_Willis | sudo su - is not a proper way to get a root shell. | 08:22 |
| jjk9 | SwedeMike: I am the 1 and only local user except for the rssh folks who can only do ftp like commands | 08:22 |
| jjk9 | SwedeMike: locks only buy time | 08:22 |
| SwedeMike | jjk9: I don't think you really understood what I said earlier about web server exploits to gain user access. | 08:23 |
| frobisher | What?is the proper way! | 08:23 |
| Dr_Willis | forceflow: 'sudo -s' or 'sudo -i' depening on you rneeds | 08:23 |
| jjk9 | SwedeMike: I think I did but because of my user base that isn't such a problem | 08:23 |
| frobisher | DR-Willis Thank You | 08:24 |
| jjk9 | SwedeMike: the users are all known to me and I have things fairly well tied down but as I say locks only buy time. Nothing is impenetrable given enough time | 08:25 |
| Dr_Willis | !sudo | frobisher | 08:25 |
| ubottu | frobisher: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 08:25 |
| oracle | hey | 08:26 |
| Chr|s | !hi | oracle | 08:27 |
| ubottu | oracle: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 08:27 |
| oracle | how does a person edit services on the server edition | 08:27 |
| SwedeMike | jjk9: users do stupid things, they login from a public console or re-use their password, their passwords get keyboard-sniffed or network-sniffed or something, someone uploads something that your webserver runs, and wham, they can open a shell as the web server user, and then they start looking for local root exploits. happens all the time. happened to me with ftp-only accounts way back. | 08:27 |
| oracle | like, is there a specialized tool that selects services to load at startup? | 08:27 |
| oracle | if you are familiar with how centos lets you manage them then you know what im looking for | 08:27 |
| === unix is now known as Guest40194 | ||
| oracle | a simple select/deselect services app | 08:28 |
| Dr_Willis | oracle: for the most part you just rename the file in /etc/init/ to disable a service. and name it back - to reenable it. | 08:28 |
| Dr_Willis | oracle: ive not really seen a gui to the 'upstart' init system yet. | 08:29 |
| Dr_Willis | oracle: Some services still use the older sysv method. theres a few guis out for the 'SysV' init system. but those wont alter services controlled by Upstart (that ive seen) | 08:29 |
| Dr_Willis | Its possible some of those tools are updated by now and may handle Upstart | 08:29 |
| simplexio | Dr_Willis: ? would it be more "clean" to rm files from /etc/rc?.d | 08:30 |
| sisterd | hi guys. newbie configuring ubuntu 10.04. brasero crashed during its first burn and now crashes upon launch. any ideas how to fix this? I tried removing/reinstalling but that did not help. | 08:30 |
| simplexio | or has things changed since last time | 08:30 |
| oracle | so far i hear lots of downsides to this new upstart | 08:30 |
| jjk9 | SwedeMike: true that. my users can't even change their passwords. I set them and update them for them. all user login is via sftp so sniffing is not a problem. of course keyboard sniffers are a problem on any machine and rootkits too. Best if you just unplug the server lol | 08:30 |
| oracle | are there any benefits? | 08:31 |
| cast | wouldn't happen to be a trival builtin command to kill a command if it doesn't return in N seconds? | 08:31 |
| Dr_Willis | simplexio: rc#.d are links you can remove. there are tools out that handle that process | 08:31 |
| Dr_Willis | simplexio: but as i have said.. 'UPSTART' is replaceing the SYSV system. so many services are not started from the rc#.d locatgion any more | 08:31 |
| Slart | cast: ulimit can do it.. but I suppose that doesn't fall under the "trivial" section =) | 08:32 |
| Dr_Willis | simplexio: see the directory /etc/init | 08:32 |
| cast | Slart: oh, how? | 08:33 |
| Dr_Willis | cast: i seem to recall a forum thread/post on a topic like that ages ago. - i dont recall how they did it. Some wrapper script perhaps | 08:33 |
| simplexio | Dr_Willis: ahh.. my server runs 9.04 and virtualized desktop hasnt needed any configuring so. i havent noticed | 08:33 |
| cast | could certainly write a wrapper, but i don't like reinventing wheels :) | 08:33 |
| avi_ | is upstart in upstream debian? Or is it just a canonical thing? | 08:33 |
| Dr_Willis | avi_: there are other disrtos that are starting to use it Ive heard. Not sure what ones. | 08:34 |
| Dr_Willis | !upstart | 08:34 |
| ubottu | Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 08:34 |
| Slart | cast: you use ulimit to set the maximum time for that shell.. then it will be killed automatically once it has used up its time | 08:34 |
| avi_ | very interesting. | 08:34 |
| avi_ | according to that link, debian has it as "an option" and chrome OS uses it. | 08:34 |
| simplexio | cast: and im not sure can you write such script.. atleast when my nfs mount stalls. i takes ages before simple commands return and kil dosent help that much. | 08:35 |
| avi_ | the latter I didn't know, that's very interesting indeed. | 08:35 |
| jjk9 | I noticed that sshd is still on init.d but most else I use is on upstart now | 08:35 |
| Dr_Willis | avi_: i was thinking RH was moving that way also. | 08:35 |
| Slart | cast: something like running ulimit -t 10 , it will only affect the current shell so it's safe to experiment | 08:35 |
| Slart | cast: note that it's measuring cpu time.. not regular clock time | 08:35 |
| Dr_Willis | jjk9: actually everything in init.d/rc#.d get read/handled by a higher Upstart script I recall. So even the sysv part is actually a 'upstart' feature ;) | 08:35 |
| avi_ | Dr_Willis, Well Fedora's on board isn't Fedora the usual guinea pig for RH? | 08:36 |
| Dr_Willis | jjk9: check ls -l /etc/init.d | 08:36 |
| Dr_Willis | avi_: i havent used fedora or RH in many years. so i dont pay atten tion to any RPM based disrtos | 08:37 |
| jjk9 | Dr_Willis: on my box service ssh or service sshd is not recognized but /etc/init.d ssh is | 08:37 |

| Gianni1 | avi_: sarebbe bello (very good) | 08:43 |
| _klk_ | does anyone have an idea of why this might be happening? | 08:43 |

| mikeliss | Dr_Willis: ah ha. So, I have two drives, one has /home, and the other -- which I just replaced -- has / and /boot. Will reinstalling grub work properly, in theory? | 08:44 |
| _mrn_ver_ | to do? | 08:44 |
| avi_ | Ho capito che senza nemmeno utilizzando Google Translate! | 08:44 |
| surgy | hello | 08:44 |
| Gianni1 | surgy: hello! | 08:45 |
| xempt | magnetron, what one of those three do you prefer? | 08:45 |
| Gianni1 | avi_: wowww | 08:45 |
| Kruptein | cast if I changed something in crontab -e and saved it, do I need to restart my session or is it automaticaly changed? | 08:45 |
| avi_ | Gianni1, :) | 08:45 |
| surgy | i have a removable sata harddrive bay and i just slid a sata hdd into it. why isnt it mounting properly and how do i make it automount? | 08:45 |
| magnetron | xempt: if you are unsure, i recommend you use the regular Ubuntu | 08:45 |
| xempt | already am on it =D | 08:46 |
| xempt | just download xubuntu and burned it a min ago | 08:46 |
| magnetron | xempt: you can turn your ubuntu into kubuntu or xubuntu later, if you change your mind | 08:46 |
| xempt | wanted to try it | 08:46 |
| _klk_ | magnetron: ya, i understand that but i don't understand why. this is the correct username and password! i've used this exact command line on another system a week ago and it worked | 08:46 |
| ibrahim-kasem | guys why ubuntu log in logo becomes big and ugly after activating nvidia drivers on my laptop | 08:46 |
| Kruptein | my second problem btw is that I have both empaty and pidgin, because empathy is the new default I tried it out, but it doesn't suit me that well, so I decided to stik with pidgin, but now when I'm online with pidgin, empathy sometimes just logges in :s verry annoying, is the only option removing empathy? | 08:46 |
| Gianni1 | avi_: tank you, good evening! :) (a presto) | 08:46 |
| _mrn_ver_ | magnetron: i have to start my gnomepanel each time i start my system by the command "sudo debconf gnome-panel" | 08:46 |
| _mrn_ver_ | what to do? | 08:47 |
| cast | Kruptein: shouldnt | 08:47 |
| avi_ | Gianni1, Adios! :) | 08:47 |
| magnetron | _mrn_ver_: please don't repeat yourself | 08:47 |
| cast | Kruptein: should be automatic | 08:47 |
| Kruptein | cast okay | 08:47 |
| viltsu | Kruptein: changes are included after the edit no restart needed | 08:47 |
| Gianni1 | avi_: , Espanol? :D | 08:47 |
| xempt | Kruptein, i love both of them but empathy has a few bugs and pidgin is hardcoded in some areas i wish it wasn't | 08:47 |
| avi_ | Gianni1, Oui hehehe. | 08:47 |
| xempt | so i cannot choose between the two sometimes | 08:47 |
| Kruptein | xempt, yeah I like the empathy bubbles :p but pidgin irc is better... | 08:47 |
| surgy | can someone help me mount my removable sata hdd please? | 08:47 |
| Gianni1 | avi_: ehehehe , merci' beaucoup! :D | 08:48 |
| xempt | plugin wise... pidgin all the way in my opinion | 08:48 |
| jjk9 | surgy: you may be able to see it by ls /dev probably as something like sdc1 . once you know its name you can use a mount command to mount it to a mount pojt | 08:48 |
| Gianni1 | bye bye :) | 08:48 |
| Ankitg | Can u help be in enabling visual effects | 08:48 |

| whosjose | question: I'm able to install Windows XP using VirtualBox using the CDRom has my host. I'm trying to boot the windows xp setup but it doesn't get picked up. Any idea's? | 08:50 |
| Ankitg | free | 08:50 |
| surgy | jjk9: it is partitioned allready. | 08:51 |
| Ankitg | ? | 08:51 |
| xempt | whosjose: what bootloader do you have? | 08:51 |
| Ankitg | i m using free drivers | 08:51 |
| jjk9 | surgy: then its should show more like sdb1 | 08:51 |
| surgy | whosjose: you have either a non bootable pirated copy of windows, which wont be discussed here, or you have a cdrom mounting issue | 08:51 |
| Ankitg | i m not very with all that i m just a new user | 08:52 |
| surgy | jjk9: yes i have sdb and sdb1 and sdb5 and sdc | 08:52 |

| cast | Wage: pastebin df output | 08:53 |
| whosjose | surgy: It's not a pirated copy. It can't be a mounting issue if it can be installed using VirtualBox | 08:53 |
| terrence | Hi all - TV Card working, but not with DSTV - are there settings I should change? Please help? | 08:53 |
| jjk9 | surgy: then something like mkdir /mnt/sdb1 then mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1 but may need a few more parms with mount so it knows ow to mount | 08:53 |

| Dr_Willis | whosjose: you are having an issue booting an 'actual' windows cd? this IS a actual cd from microsoft? or some backup/restore/system rescue version made by a pc? | 08:54 |
| Ankitg | i m not able to click on visual effects | 08:54 |
| surgy | jjk9: there isnt a command to mount everything plugged into the computer to default mount points? | 08:54 |
| cast | Wage: looks likely you're using ecryptfs | 08:54 |
| whosjose | Dr_Willis: I'm having problems booting the cd, and yes it came from microsoft. | 08:54 |
| surgy | Dr_Willis: sup man long time no see | 08:54 |
| cast | Wage: you could logount, umount /home/justin, and have a look whats in /home/justin | 08:55 |
| Kruptein | cast http://dpaste.com/238719/ | 08:55 |
| whosjose | Dr_Willis: what i don't understand is that when I use virtualbox everything goes fine. perfectly fine in fact. | 08:55 |
| Wage | cast: it didn't ask/tell me a passphrase | 08:55 |
| Dr_Willis | whosjose: could be a hard drive/cd issue where it can barely read the first boot sectors | 08:55 |
| jjk9 | surgy: onc mounted and put in fstab it can be automounted at boot or easily after | 08:55 |
| Dr_Willis | whosjose: vbox is being smarter about the errors. | 08:55 |
| cast | Wage: it may be the same as your user login | 08:55 |
| surgy | jjk9: it used to automount when i was using gnome | 08:55 |
| whosjose | Dr_Willis: so what do you recommend on me doing? | 08:56 |
| Wage | normally when i install it gives me something to save | 08:56 |
| Dr_Willis | whosjose: other then not using windows.. or making a copy of the disk under linux, or go see about it in #windows.. its not really a ubuntu related issue. You Could use vbox to install to a real physical hard drive (but that can get nasty) | 08:56 |
| artinstartin | Should I first overwrite the hard disk, before installing ubuntu alternate using lvm? | 08:56 |
| Dr_Willis | whosjose: you can also somehow convert a vbox install to a 'real' hard drive . (also nasty) | 08:57 |
| jjk9 | surgy: AFAIK it can only automount once fstab knows about it but don't quote me I'm a server command line kinda guy | 08:57 |
| edik | skype | 08:57 |
| Ankitg | initaly my desktop was having a menu in tranparent boxes right on the desktop but now its nnnnot which setting do i have to look for | 08:57 |
| whosjose | Dr_Willis: nah i can't risk it. i've tried it before and it took me almost two days to repair my hd | 08:57 |
| Dr_Willis | whosjose: thas why the vbox mnanual has BIG warnings in that area/topic :) | 08:58 |
| surgy | jjk9: so if it automounted in gnome, and this is the same install i just added xfce, then why wont it automount in xfce? | 08:58 |
| Dr_Willis | xfce has differnt mounting services then gnome perhaps. | 08:58 |
| whosjose | Dr_Willis: thanks for your time:) | 08:58 |
| jjk9 | surgy: you should be able to see the os find it i syslog or messages I don't recall which, as you plug it in. I am not familiar with xfce | 08:59 |
| surgy | Dr_Willis: hmm any suggested troubleshooting steps? | 08:59 |
| Dr_Willis | whosjose: if its a legal cd, try making a copy via dd/ddrescue then burning it back to cd. and try the copy. | 08:59 |
| Kruptein | cast ?? | 08:59 |
| whosjose | Dr_Willis: i've done that before | 08:59 |
| Dr_Willis | I just mount things by hand surgy :) im too busy to trouble shoot automounting issues these days. heh. actually i rarely have automounting issues these days | 09:00 |
| whosjose | Dr_Willis: nothing worked for some reason.... | 09:00 |
| whosjose | Dr_Willis: what im going to do is mess with the bios | 09:00 |
| surgy | Dr_Willis: could you help me mount manually? maybe if i can get it to mount manually i can write a short script and have a "clicky" on my desktop | 09:00 |
| cast | Kruptein: dunno man, not a crontab problem, ;) | 09:00 |
| Dr_Willis | surgy sudo mount /dev/whatever /media/PICKADir_That_Exists | 09:01 |
| infid | if i ssh to infid@foo and try to scp a file to infid@bar it doesn't work, just hangs, yet if i'm on infid@bar i can pull the file from foo with scp. does that mean foo has a firewall issue? bar has openssh installed/running | 09:01 |
| Dr_Willis | infid: ssh has a -v and -vv and -vvv (i think 3 is the max) that give more verbose error messages. thaty may give a clue as to the issue. | 09:01 |
| patheticproblems | i want 2 join yahoo chat rooms but empathy just gives me problems | 09:02 |
| surgy | Dr_Willis: "mount: you must specify the filesystem type" | 09:02 |
| Dr_Willis | surgy: so specify it then. :) | 09:02 |
| Dr_Willis | -t whatever | 09:02 |
| __good_day_ | Hello friends, I have just bought lenovo with I3 Processor 64 bit, I am not sure which version of ubuntu to install ? PC (Intel x86) install CD or 64-bit PC (AMD64) install CD. anyone has any idea ? | 09:02 |

| berty642 | morning all, i am using samba to share my files around the house and it works very well. But i was wondering is it possible for me to set timers on certain folders? so for example from 1am till 8am the movie folder is unacessable to everyone? | 09:03 |
| jjk9 | surgy: ext3 or | 09:03 |
| surgy | Dr_Willis: jjk9: should be ntfs | 09:04 |
| magnetron | __good_day_: how much RAM do you have? | 09:04 |
| __good_day_ | magnetron: 4 GB | 09:04 |
| __good_day_ | SwedeMike: reading. | 09:04 |
| thune3 | surgy: i don't use xubuntu, but it sounds like thunar would do automounting if it's available. You might see options in Preferences->Advanced->Volume Management | 09:04 |
| Dr_Willis | surgy you want write access to it? use the ntfs-3g command then, or -t ntfs-3g I think. (or -t ntfs) | 09:04 |
| jjk9 | if its ntfs then its ntfs :D | 09:04 |
| surgy | Dr_Willis: hmmmm | 09:05 |
| artinstartin | Will Ubuntu alternate with LVM overwrite the disk, or should I do that beforehand using a live cd, to make sure no data can be read anymore? | 09:05 |
| Dr_Willis | surgy: that also may explain WHY iots not auto mounting. | 09:05 |
| surgy | Dr_Willis: looks like your leading to the ultimate solution "reading" | 09:05 |
| Dr_Willis | surgy: if the ntfs needs 'checked' ntfs-3g wont automount it. | 09:05 |
| Dr_Willis | surgy: ntfs-3g --help :) | 09:05 |
| SwedeMike | artinstartin: it can remove your partition table, you don't have to do anything beforehand. | 09:05 |
| patheticproblems | hey guys problems with empathy | 09:05 |
| magnetron | __good_day_: x86-64 supports more RAM and x86 has a better version of Flash and zsnes | 09:05 |
| Dr_Willis | surgy: sudo ntfs-3g /dev/whatver /media/NTFS_MAKE_A_DIR | 09:05 |
| surgy | Dr_Willis: thune3: my problems could be fixed easily by reformatting to ext3, correct? | 09:06 |
| Kruptein | cast okay nevermind I found the solution :) | 09:06 |
| cast | x64-64 has more security features and 2x more registers | 09:06 |
| Dr_Willis | surgy: if the ntfs FS needs checked.. then let windows check it.. or use the force option to ntfs-3g | 09:06 |
| SwedeMike | __good_day_: for desktop use, I personally run x86 with the bigmem/PAE kernel since I want to use all my memory, but I don't want 64bit userspace. | 09:06 |
| surgy | Dr_Willis: the harddrive has 3mb used lol i dont mind loosing everything, i just need it to backup my real os (buntu) | 09:07 |
| patheticproblems | how 2 join yahoo rooms from empathy | 09:07 |
| Dr_Willis | surgy: you can also run the 'ntfs-config' command to handle ntfs FS's theres some permissions on it. | 09:07 |
| SwedeMike | x64-64 has one advantage on newer processors, AES-NI is a 64bit only feature. | 09:07 |
| Dr_Willis | surgy: if using it for Ubuntu. you proberly want it to be ext3/4 then | 09:07 |
| magnetron | __good_day_, SwedeMike: from what i've gathered, PAE is limited to 4GB per process | 09:07 |
| surgy | Dr_Willis: exactly, but whats the chances it will solve my problem? | 09:07 |
| artinstartin | SwedeMike: Some say you should overwrite with numbers, so afterwards you cannot read data anymore. Did you mean, that when the partition table is removed, no data can be read anymore? | 09:07 |
| jjk9 | surgy: parted perhaps | 09:07 |
| surgy | Dr_Willis: my mounting issue that is* | 09:08 |
| SwedeMike | magnetron: yes. | 09:08 |
| __good_day_ | SwedeMike: I got you. If I want to install x64-64, then which one I should download from http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/. Can you please suggest | 09:08 |
| SwedeMike | artinstartin: it can, but it's generally hard. If you want to be sure, overwrite everything first. | 09:08 |
| artinstartin | SwedeMike: in case someone steals my computer and wants to extract data with forensic tools | 09:08 |

| magnetron | __good_day_: it's the 64-bit version | 09:09 |
| artinstartin | SwedeMike: thanks a lot | 09:09 |
| SwedeMike | __good_day_: it depends on your needs, normally the regular desktop one is ok. | 09:09 |

| surgy | thanks for the help guys, im gonan go fidn a partition utility and switch to ext4 | 09:10 |
| magnetron | __good_day_: that's the 32-bit version | 09:10 |
| __good_day_ | ohh then where is 64 bit one, the later is for AMD-64 and not x86-64 | 09:11 |
| magnetron | __good_day_: amd64 IS x86-64 | 09:11 |
| Dr_Willis | surgy: as i mentooned.. if its a CUrrupted NTFS filesystem. the system will NOT automount it. | 09:11 |
| __good_day_ | Magnetron:okey. I got you then amd64 IS x86-64 will work for I3 processor also. There where I got confused | 09:12 |
| Dr_Willis | surgy: if you are going to reforamt it to ext2/3 you need to set the proper owndership of the files/device and perhaps make a proper fstab entry for it - if its to be always hooked up | 09:12 |
| magnetron | __good_day_: the 64-bit instruction set for x86-compatbile CPUs was created by AMD. the 64-bit desktop Intel CPUs is also AMD64 | 09:12 |
| surgy | Dr_Willis: yeah im seeing that now. the "disk utility" built into xfce is saying the hdd has "a few bad sectors" and it also shows two 500GB partitions, the hdd is 500GB total. | 09:13 |
| replicasex | Anybody heard any news on the whole plymouth splash hanging on boot bondoogle? | 09:13 |
| surgy | Dr_Willis: ill delete them both and reformat and see if that clears things up. is there any way to fix "bad sectors" ? | 09:13 |
| __good_day_ | Magnetron: Thank you for nice explanation. Makes me more clear. Just last question, incase I want to compile the fresh kernel which processor I need to select from make menuconfig ? | 09:14 |
| Dr_Willis | surgy: these days the HD is supposed to auto-remap them. | 09:14 |
| karts | I am having trouble making 10.04 recognize my laptop's maximum resolution.. I tried to search forums, but there is just too much information that I am lost.. whatever I did, I cannot make the "Monitors" application to detect 1280x768. I have used that resolution in XP, so I presume ubuntu should detect it as well. | 09:15 |
| Dr_Willis | karts: and your video chipset is what? | 09:16 |
| karts | nvidia | 09:17 |
| surgy | Dr_Willis: seams the "self test" fails on the first read and it says "The device is reporting 'current pending sector count errors' read errors on corrupt sectors will not be rewritten, only on failed write attempts will a sector be re mapped" | 09:17 |
| karts | I am not sure what model it is.. | 09:17 |
| Dr_Willis | karts: and you have used the hardware-drivers tool to install the suggested nvidia drivers? | 09:17 |
| Dr_Willis | surgy: sounds like that HD may be very sick | 09:17 |
| Dr_Willis | surgy: you may not want to trust it with backups | 09:17 |

| Dr_Willis | surgy: got a 2TB hd for $109 the other day | 09:18 |

| surgy | Dr_Willis: horrible for little girl fingers though* | 09:27 |
| mikeliss | Dr_Willis: Happy to say I got my new hard drive installed and working. I don't ever enjoy working with grub, but grub 2 does seem to be an improvement. Thanks for the help. | 09:27 |
| Dr_Willis | surgy: dont let kids swallow magnets either | 09:27 |
| n00by | guys ? | 09:27 |
| Dr_Willis | mikeliss: GRUB2 is a Huge improvbement :) people just hate change | 09:28 |
| surgy | n00by: ? | 09:28 |
| n00by | I downloaded a package, which is a tar file, how do I install it ? | 09:28 |
| Dr_Willis | n00by: - ask an actual question and see... | 09:28 |

| Dr_Willis | no-use: if its source code.. you recompiuld it. | 09:28 |
| surgy | Dr_Willis: grub has allways been my nemesis, i dont even want to see it (i guess they did improve it since i havnt seen it in a while) | 09:28 |
| Dr_Willis | n00by: if its binaries - you extract, cd to the dir. and run the proper binary | 09:28 |
| ilon | how do i get ubuntu to autostart my raid array? | 09:28 |

| surgy | n00by: and whats inside? | 09:29 |
| Dr_Willis | johnny_007: there are PPA's of updated bversions ive heard. | 09:29 |
| n00by | many files | 09:29 |

| johnny_007 | I' added the PPA, updated it using the update manager but it still not working... | 09:30 |
| n00by | and many folders, and many files | 09:30 |
| surgy | n00by: thats source code and has to be compiled and installed thats the most complicated way to install a program | 09:30 |
| surgy | n00by: what program do you want? | 09:30 |
| n00by | surgy: how did you know that's sourcecode ? | 09:30 |
| Dr_Willis | johnny_007: check the ppa forums/notes - perhaps you need a differnt ppa version. Ive seen some Ubuntu sites mention updated twitter clients | 09:30 |
| n00by | I want to learn :) | 09:30 |
| johnny_007 | Dr_Willis : Thanks... | 09:31 |
| surgy | n00by: i know how to program in the language C so i know that any file with the extension .c is a C source file | 09:31 |
| n00by | I c | 09:31 |
| n00by | surgy: what does ./configure then make and then sudo make install do ? | 09:31 |
| surgy | n00by: what program do you want to install? i bet its in the repos | 09:32 |
| n00by | surgy: gearmand(C) from http://gearman.org/index.php?id=download | 09:32 |
| Dr_Willis | gidna: i would be very suprised if ther ewas a way to do that in linux. You COULD backup the whole 'recovery' partition somewhere and restore it with linux however.. but making the DVD set.. may be a bit harder | 09:32 |
| thune3 | n00by: i really recommend using version available in repos (if this is indeed what you are looking for) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gearman otherwise see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware if you are bent on comiling | 09:32 |
| surgy | n00by: a "make" file is a script with a list of commands to download everything needed to compile and then the command to compile. the configure script actually sets things up and installs the program | 09:33 |
| gidna | Dr_Willis : I have installed ubuntu and now windows fails to load.... I didn't create the recovery cd.. | 09:33 |
| Dr_Willis | gidna: you mean the GRUB entry fails to boot windows? | 09:33 |
| Dr_Willis | gidna: or windows dosent boot properly? | 09:33 |
| surgy | n00by: search the repositories for programs you want using the command " sudo apt-cache search [program name]" without the "" or the [] | 09:33 |
| gidna | yes and also ubuntu sometimes.. | 09:34 |
| n00by | one sec, let me try | 09:34 |
| gidna | I boot windows and while loading the pc restarts | 09:34 |
| Dr_Willis | gidna: sometimes ubuntu fails to boot also? | 09:34 |
| n00by | surgy: that simply gave no output, does that means it's not in the repos ? | 09:34 |
| Dr_Willis | !info gearman | 09:35 |
| ubottu | gearman (source: gearmand): A distributed job queue. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.10-2 (lucid), package size 4 kB, installed size 36 kB | 09:35 |
| Dr_Willis | n00by: its in the repos it seems | 09:35 |
| karts | Dr_Willis: Thanks much! Updating my hardware drivers for nvidia and reboot brought back the real flesh in ubuntu!! It looks awesome!! | 09:35 |
| surgy | n00by: it either means there is no entry for it or you dont not have the repo | 09:35 |
| n00by | Dr_Willis: gearmand | 09:35 |
| n00by | surgy: so repository is what ubuntu servers have, right ? | 09:35 |
| Dr_Willis | karts: thats always step 1 on a new ubuntu install for me. :) i get it done befor that dialog even pops up and mentions it to me. | 09:35 |
| surgy | !repo | n00by | 09:36 |
| ubottu | n00by: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

| Dr_Willis | n00by: yes.. that line says gearmand rand the description matches.... | 09:36 |
| gidna | after chosing it from the grub menu it doesn't start... I boot windows the then the computer restarts and now can load linux | 09:36 |
| n00by | thanks , I should go and play with those links :) | 09:36 |
| karts | Dr_Willis: Will keep it in mind :-) | 09:36 |
| surgy | n00by: type this in your terminal: sudo apt-cache search gearman | 09:36 |
| surgy | n00by: exactly as shown | 09:36 |
| surgy | gearman - A distributed job queue | 09:37 |
| n00by | surgy: http://pastie.org/private/hgco8lperoa33b55nmkla | 09:37 |
| surgy | n00by: see its there | 09:37 |
| Dr_Willis | gidna: theres some way from within linux to restore the windows default boot loader.. but i cant recall how to do it. | 09:37 |
| n00by | ok, thanks! | 09:37 |
| n00by | surgy: though I would love to learn compiling method too :) | 09:37 |
| surgy | n00by: see now you have a list of those programs in the repos, to install something from that list you would use this command: sudo apt-get install [program] | 09:38 |
| Dr_Willis | !manual | n00by | 09:38 |
| ubottu | n00by: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 09:38 |
| surgy | n00by: so: sudo apt-get install gearman | 09:38 |
| n00by | yeah, I know the install command, thanks | 09:38 |
| Dr_Willis | n00by: start with the basics. | 09:38 |
| n00by | Dr_Willis: thank you | 09:38 |
| n00by | thanks a lot guys :) | 09:38 |
| surgy | Dr_Willis: lol does my hand in hand walking noobs through buntu bother you? | 09:38 |

| soreau | ubuntu_: Basically just run grub-install /dev/sdb from the live cd IIRC | 09:47 |

| Dr_Willis | and the fighting with the windows bootloaders... | 09:51 |
| ReadPlease | So, I guess I have a very nasty routing problem. | 09:52 |
| soreau | I much rather the idea of writing my own config file directly than writing config files that a program uses to write a config file | 09:52 |
| Dr_Willis | ReadPlease: localhost wold be the local machine you are on.. not the ip of the VM | 09:52 |
| ReadPlease | I'm trying to use NAT on the VM. Any help? | 09:52 |
| ReadPlease | Right, trying to forward. | 09:52 |
| Dr_Willis | soreau: you can still do that . with a little work. | 09:52 |
| soreau | Dr_Willis: Doesnt take any work. Just edit the damn file | 09:52 |
| pehden | Radplease the easy way is to share the widows folder | 09:53 |
| Dr_Willis | soreau: i take parts out of the generated grub.cfg and put in the /etc/grub.d/40_custome and edit and there ya go | 09:53 |
| soreau | just avoid your boot config prog running in the future | 09:53 |
| pehden | Readplease the easy way is to share the windows folder | 09:53 |
| Dr_Willis | I saw that theis 10.10 grub install saw my 10.04 grub/setup AND my 10.04 grub 40_custome setup.. and some how merged the 2.. not sure how it did that. | 09:53 |

| ReadPlease | oracal vm vb | 09:54 |
| pehden | readplease thats I dont know but via the GUI there should be a folder icon on the bottom to the right of the network | 09:55 |
| Dr_Willis | ReadPlease: check the Virtualbox docs. You can configure its settings so the VM machine appears on the local lan as a local machine (same ip range as all otehr machines on the lan) | 09:55 |
| ezrafree | anyone know how toconnect a mx5000 in ubuntu? | 09:55 |
| Dr_Willis | ReadPlease: the GUEST OS and Host machine have their own private network by default. check the ip in the guest OS. and see if the Host machine can ping that ip. | 09:55 |
| ReadPlease | What keyword would I be looking for? | 09:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Virtualbox Docs under Networking.. | 09:56 |
| ReadPlease | because I thought I had to forward port 22 to 22, 80 to 80... some stuff like that | 09:56 |
| Dr_Willis | ReadPlease: ive never had to forward ports to get my HOST to access the GUEST os. | 09:56 |
| Dr_Willis | If you want the rest of the lan to get to it. that is a little differnt. | 09:56 |
| ReadPlease | http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html | 09:57 |
| ReadPlease | Yes, that's the idea.... | 09:57 |
| ReadPlease | because the host is windows | 09:57 |
| ReadPlease | So, it is really rather backwards. | 09:57 |
| ReadPlease | But I imagine it's similar to the converse? | 09:58 |
| pehden | readplease are you hosting a vm webserver | 09:58 |
| Dr_Willis | ReadPlease: then you set up the netwoking settings to make it appear as a machine on the LAN. it will get a normal LAN ip from the dhcp server and eveyrthing as if it was a real physical machine on the lan | 09:58 |
| ReadPlease | Are you talking about chapter 6 there, Doc? | 09:58 |
| Dr_Willis | ReadPlease: no idea.. read the whole book - ive read through it several times in the past. | 09:58 |
| pehden | i wanted to know how to do this too lol | 09:59 |
| Dr_Willis | I recal it was a simple check some setting, start the virtual machine.. it was seen by my whole LAN... | 09:59 |
| Dr_Willis | May or been 'NAT' or some other name they used. | 09:59 |
| ReadPlease | Bleh. Okay. | 09:59 |
| ReadPlease | I have part of the command... and i'm just not sure what exactly to forward | 09:59 |

| pehden | Servertech sudo chmod -R 777 / | 10:12 |
| ServerTech | ok | 10:13 |
| pehden | sd-d ebooks hmm i think there are many websites that have free ebbok | 10:13 |
| slabovreme | command not found | 10:13 |
| pehden | slabovreme let me find it | 10:13 |
| greenIT | is "active desktop" (from win xp) possible in gnome and how? | 10:13 |
| ServerTech | Thx!! | 10:14 |
| slabovreme | sure how.. | 10:14 |
| scj | pehden: chmod'ing everything to 777 is pretty terrible advice | 10:14 |
| slabovreme | pehden: how would you found it | 10:15 |
| ServerTech | Its only one folder scj | 10:15 |
| pehden | scj i was hoping they would know i was refering to the folder they were needing | 10:15 |
| pehden | scj they said they were only getting access the the folder not the files in the folder fso i poster -R | 10:16 |
| greenIT | is it possible to have an "active desktop" in ubuntu (i don't wanna install kde-libs)? | 10:16 |
| pehden | slabovreme ok it has to be nm-applet | 10:16 |
| thune3 | Tweaky: i'm guessing the package is in "held-back" status (requires installing or uninstalling other packages). Try Synaptic Package Manager. | 10:16 |
| vu1kan | using ntfsundelete is it possible to recover whole directories? if so, what would the syntax be to accomplish this? | 10:16 |

| * Teirusu desktop | 10:18 | |
| slabovreme | it says that this command is in some pacage (network manager gnome) | 10:18 |
| jb__ | photorec = awesome recovery tool | 10:18 |
| greenIT | !"active desktop" | 10:18 |
| jb__ | it recovers anything from anywhere | 10:18 |
| greenIT | hm....^^ | 10:18 |
| slabovreme | anyway i cant do anything with this command | 10:18 |
| ServerTech | pehden, can i make the folder accessible to only my user?? | 10:18 |
| pehden | servertech chown user:user;chmod 754 -R / | 10:19 |
| encarna | hola, es la primera vez que uso este chat... no se si alguien estara ahí, jajajajaj | 10:19 |
| ServerTech | thx | 10:19 |
| greenIT | encarna, did u read the channel-rules? only english is allowed | 10:19 |
| pehden | slabovreme nm-applet is the icon in the panel | 10:19 |
| jb__ | its cool, dudes, today i used a 3.5' floppy disk | 10:19 |
| encarna | si hay alguien, porfa que me salude para saber si estoy sola con la maquina o alguien humano me ve. | 10:19 |
| jb__ | i shoved aircrak-ng and aircrak-ptw on it | 10:20 |
| slabovreme | hehe lol i was typing tah into the terminal | 10:20 |
| pehden | jb__lol | 10:20 |
| jb__ | guyz you should try using a floppy, its funny | 10:20 |
| jb__ | takes about 1 minute to copy over a 1MB file | 10:20 |
| jb__ | + makes funny noises | 10:20 |
| encarna | should i write in english?? | 10:20 |
| jb__ | mounting takes like 5 secs | 10:20 |
| jb__ | :D | 10:21 |
| pehden | jb__ i remember those days i even remember my comador 64 | 10:21 |
| greenIT | encarna, yes | 10:21 |
| vu1kan | jb__ ubottu says 'photorec' doesn't exist in the repo's...i'm walking a buddy through undelete via gtalk...repo accessible tools are much more useful | 10:22 |
| jb__ | its weird | 10:22 |
| encarna | thanks greenIT, it is useful... so I can improve my english... I have no written in english for years.... | 10:22 |
| slabovreme | is there any way to activate wireless from terminal?? | 10:22 |
| purvesh | how to store my nick password to xchat ? | 10:22 |
| jb__ | "Photorec is part of the Testdisk package" | 10:23 |
| greenIT | encarna, ok.. then it's a bit hard for the beginning i think^^ | 10:23 |
| abhijit | hi | 10:23 |
| jb__ | simple google command | 10:23 |
| vu1kan | ah...ic...it's already in my custom liveusb...woot | 10:23 |
| encarna | so.... the most of people here are all over the world...... | 10:23 |
| pehden | slabovreme you may need to run more updates to fix the little bug that caused that | 10:23 |
| jb__ | im not sure how well file recovery works with ntfs though | 10:24 |
| slabovreme | i susspect that update did thi..thou i am not sure | 10:24 |
| pehden | mine did it after reboot then i ran a new update and after i ran nm-applet it started working again | 10:24 |
| slabovreme | this* | 10:24 |
| jb__ | anyone ever craxored a wep key? | 10:24 |
| greenIT | encarna, if you want to write with support in your language, join #Ubuntu-es (i think u wrote in this language ;) ) | 10:25 |
| pehden | i run kismet | 10:25 |
| slabovreme | but befor i did regular updates everything ran just fine | 10:25 |
| encarna | well.... i will try.. I first use linux and this chat... but i like new things... | 10:25 |
| airtonix | !ot | jb__ | 10:25 |
| ubottu | jb__: #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! | 10:25 |
| pehden | slabovreme i know this happened too me last week | 10:25 |
| encarna | even i can learn more by reading from you all | 10:26 |
| slabovreme | as i said the onla thing i didn't try is wired networking... | 10:26 |
| airtonix | slabovreme, what is the question ? | 10:26 |
| pehden | airtonix his nm-applet stop showing up | 10:27 |
| slabovreme | well how to fix wireless connection | 10:27 |
| WienerWuerstel | Hi guys i have question. I had Windows XP installed on my intern HDD and now i installed Ubuntu on an external USB HDD and Both OS don't star anymore | 10:27 |
| WienerWuerstel | *start | 10:27 |
| jb__ | hehe you probably messed up MBR | 10:27 |
| jb__ | hmm | 10:27 |
| airtonix | slabovreme, i assume you've already tried : killall nm-applet && nm-applet ? | 10:28 |
| WienerWuerstel | Maybe i could edit it but i dont know how | 10:28 |
| thune3 | WienerWuerstel: the grub installer probably went to primary disk. it is the default and is easy to miss during installation. | 10:28 |
| maniez | heyyyyyyyyyyy leh knln | 10:28 |
| ilor | hi all, I'm looking for a IO benchmark that will roughly simulate the load caused by a large package reinstall via aptitude (but without having to have a system on the tested hard disk) | 10:29 |
| WienerWuerstel | So i should uninstall it or edit the Grub Config? | 10:29 |
| slabovreme | no i haven't..how do i do that | 10:29 |
| WienerWuerstel | And thanks for the Quick Response | 10:29 |
| dooglus | !java | 10:29 |
| ubottu | To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. | 10:29 |
| greenIT | !benchmark | 10:29 |
| airtonix | slabovreme, using a command line interface like gnome-terminal 1. applications > accessories > terminal | 10:30 |
| slabovreme | sure..what do i have to writte in it?? | 10:30 |
| ilor | I have two identical computers and one of them "feels" slow, but the only measurable difference I could find was that aptitude reinstall linux-headers-generic takes twice as much time on the "slow" one | 10:30 |
| airtonix | pehden, by the way, using nm-applet does not require sudo | 10:30 |
| ilor | the usual hard disk benchmarks show identical results | 10:30 |
| pehden | airtonix i discovered that after words when it happened to me | 10:30 |
| airtonix | slabovreme, 1. open a terminal 2. type what i showed you exactly as it was written. | 10:30 |
| magnetron | ilor: maybe it's a network issue? they may use different mirrors | 10:30 |
| ilor | magnetron: no, the package is cached and anyway both computers are hooked up to a university 100mbit line | 10:31 |
| ilor | the "normal" one does the reinstall in 4-5secs, the slow one in 10-20 | 10:31 |
| parapan | hi there fellows , does anyone know a good cr2 viewer for the linux world ? something like fastone from the Windows world ? | 10:32 |
| encarna | bye GreenIT | 10:32 |
| ilor | and the slow one gets a lot of IOWait during the process | 10:32 |
| ilor | I already tried a clean install on a different (but same model) hard disk, no difference | 10:32 |
| airtonix | parapan, hi instead of making us google for the term "cr2" just tell us | 10:32 |
| thune3 | WienerWuerstel: if grub files are OK on USB drive, you could put grub on USB drive from liveCD with these instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD If they are bad, then a chroot might be necessary | 10:33 |
| pehden | that wast wirerd | 10:33 |
| pehden | gnome xchat crashed | 10:33 |
| Draighth | Hello everyone! | 10:33 |
| magnetron | parapan: i recommend ufraw and gnome-raw-thumbnailer | 10:34 |
| parapan | airtonix : D yo man ....cr2 is the proprietary format for raw pictures that Canon is providing on the DSLR cameras | 10:34 |
| Draighth | I was wanting to know if anyone has Ubuntu 19.94 with a Dell laptop. | 10:34 |
| slabovreme | sry i missed what you have written..what do i have to put in? | 10:34 |
| WienerWuerstel | thune3: So that means i should install Grub2 from the Live CD and if that will not work i should try Chroot. Thanks i'm gonna try it right now | 10:34 |
| parapan | magnetron: are those stand alone programs or plugins for other applications ? | 10:35 |
| magnetron | parapan: both | 10:35 |
| airtonix | parapan, good, so instead of telling me include that in your requrest for help. expecting people to google for the term will reduce the amount of people that might be able to help you | 10:35 |
| thune3 | WienerWuerstel: OR, try plugging in USB drive, and the booting from Internal DISK. If the MBR is on the interal drive, it needs to find grub files on USB. You would still need to fix it. | 10:35 |
| owner | encarna what is your mother toungue ? | 10:35 |
| airtonix | Draighth, no one has use ubuntu 19.94 yet | 10:35 |
| thune3 | WienerWuerstel: but it should boot | 10:35 |
| ilor | so... anyone know IO benchmarks that are not just the usual "random write" tests but simulate something like package installing? | 10:35 |
| Draighth | duh, sorry about that... typing in the dark... 10.04, not 19.04 :D | 10:36 |
| owner | airtonix is it released i am still using 10.04 not gone for 11.04 | 10:36 |
| airtonix | ... | 10:36 |
| parapan | airtonix: I was putting the question specially to receive info from peoples who already had the same problem and know the issue; i don't expect someone from the channel to google that for me; this won't be the purpose of this channel I guess :d | 10:36 |
| parapan | magnetron: cool - I'll go for that on the net ..... | 10:37 |
| parapan | and come back :d | 10:37 |
| WienerWuerstel | thune3: when i boot from my external drive nothing happens and when i booot my internal one i get a grub command line | 10:37 |
| magnetron | parapan: just install them as ubuntu packages, with Synaptic or similar | 10:37 |
| airtonix | parapan, 1. i don;t know what cr2 is. nor do i care. 2. i know what a raw image is and could of assisted you... see what i did there ? | 10:37 |
| purvesh | abhinav_singh, hi | 10:37 |
| thune3 | WienerWuerstel: i'm saying you need to set bios to boot INTERNAL drive, but with USB drive plugged in. | 10:38 |
| purvesh | abhinav_singh, u from india ? | 10:38 |
| === erana_ is now known as erana | ||
| Draighth | so the issue you are having Wiener is that the grub menu isn't loading? | 10:38 |
| WienerWuerstel | thune3: Thats what i did. my external usb drive is plugged in and i booted from my internal drive | 10:38 |
| owner | purvesh, i am too from india | 10:39 |
| WienerWuerstel | yep @Draightth | 10:39 |
| Draighth | I've had that before. | 10:39 |
| purvesh | abhinav_singh, oh thats gr8 | 10:39 |
| Draighth | are you running grub 1 or 2? | 10:39 |
| thune3 | WienerWuerstel: it was worth a try. i recommend previous instructions with link (using LiveCD). | 10:39 |
| abhinav_singh | purvesh: hi ya | 10:39 |
| rek | hi all,how can i use my remote pc like folder in bash? to manage it... shutdown it...ecc | 10:40 |
| purvesh | abhinav_singh, u know we also have indian channels like #ubuntu-in and #linux-india | 10:40 |
| Draighth | @thune3, not trying to subvert you or anything... just seeing if I can also help... had this issue before. | 10:40 |
| magnetron | rek: is the remote PC running ubuntu? then sure, yes you can | 10:40 |
| abhinav_singh | hmm purvesh | 10:40 |
| Dr_Willis | rek: you can ssh to a remote pc and do all sorts of things. | 10:40 |
| rek | can i write riccardo@server:22/ecc eccc ? | 10:40 |
| WienerWuerstel | Draightth: I installed Ubuntu 10.4 so i should be Grub2 | 10:41 |
| abhinav_singh | #linux-india | 10:41 |
| Dr_Willis | !ssh | rek | 10:41 |
| rek | Dr_Willis: i'm already using ssh | 10:41 |
| ubottu | rek: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 10:41 |
| magnetron | rek: i think you are looking for sshfs | 10:41 |
| Dr_Willis | rek: then time to learn ssh basics.. clarify what you are wanting to do.. ssh, scp, and sshfs are handy tools. | 10:41 |
| purvesh | abhinav_singh, ya | 10:41 |
| WienerWuerstel | And thanks Darighth for helping me. And too thune3 too ;) | 10:41 |
| rek | fs ? i only need chrooting so that i can write shutdown -h now | 10:41 |
| WienerWuerstel | *to | 10:41 |
| Dr_Willis | rek: i ssh to a remote box and do 'sudo shutdown' (or sudo reboot) all the time. | 10:41 |
| Draighth | @Wiener, I take it by previous responses from thune3 that your are using the MBR on your internal drive? Or are you using a partition? | 10:42 |
| Dr_Willis | rek: that has nothign to do with a 'chroot' | 10:42 |
| rek | Dr_Willis: great | 10:42 |
| rek | Dr_Willis: no?why? | 10:42 |
| Dr_Willis | rek: what does it have to do with a chroot at all? You have a shell on the remote box when you ssh in.. | 10:42 |
| Dr_Willis | rek: same as if you were sitting in front of it. | 10:43 |
| rek | hw how can i shutdown it or use those folders in my pc when i need it... an i write user@server:22 ? | 10:43 |
| WienerWuerstel | Draightth: I had Windows Xp already installed on my INTERNAL Drive and i installed UBuntu 10.4 on my EXTERNAL Drive. | 10:43 |
| Draighth | ah | 10:43 |
| rek | Dr_Willis: i think u can even chroot in it to sd it | 10:43 |
| Dr_Willis | rek: if you want to access Files on the remote box. you use scp, to copy then to the local machine or visa versa. OR you use 'sshfs' and 'mount' the remote box to a local directory | 10:43 |
| Draighth | again did you getup using the MBR or the partition? | 10:44 |
| Dr_Willis | rek: i think you are confused about what you use chroot for. | 10:44 |
| WienerWuerstel | Draightth: And if i boot from the INTERNAL Drive i see a Grub Command Line and if i boot from my EXTERNAL Drive i see nothing | 10:44 |
| Draighth | I've used both when dual-booting Windows and Ubuntu | 10:44 |
| rek | sshfs this is the point great i need to mount it | 10:44 |
| Draighth | sounds like it can't find the grub.cfg | 10:44 |
| Dr_Willis | rek: the gnome file manager can do it without using sshfs, but sshfs is handy to learn about | 10:45 |
| thune3 | Draighth: that's whay i surmised, i thought that booting internal MBR, but with external drive plugged in it might boot. But it seems it didn't. I linked to instruction on putting MBR onto external drive. Fixing the windows MBR is beyond my knowledge | 10:46 |
| WienerWuerstel | Draighth: Sorry i don't know it exactly. Just installed both Os'es(?) like described above and i only get Grub Command Line when i start it from ther Internal One. And i probably should edit something there but i dnon't know which file i should edit | 10:46 |
| rek | done it ! | 10:46 |
| WienerWuerstel | *don't | 10:47 |
| rek | Dr_Willis: nutilus? and dolphin ?? | 10:47 |
| rek | see ya | 10:47 |
| Draighth | BTW, I am new to IRC... | 10:47 |
| Draighth | one sec... | 10:47 |
| surgy | Dr_Willis: loves dolphins* | 10:47 |
| Draighth | Wiener, do you see /boot/grub/grub.cfg? | 10:47 |
| Draighth | BTW, this might help also: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover%20Grub%202%20via%20LiveCD | 10:48 |
| lindsaymobil22 | i cant get an answer in #jolicloud, can someone help? | 10:48 |
| WienerWuerstel | Draighth: I see command line grub thingy and when i press Tab i get funny possible commands ;) | 10:49 |
| jrib | lindsaymobil22: if it's related to ubuntu support, just ask your question | 10:50 |
| lindsaymobil22 | jrib: why is it when i try to install certain apps they are greyed out, then i click on install for them again, it comes up with preparing for a few seconds then dissapears? | 10:50 |
| lindsaymobil22 | i know jolicloud is ubuntu based =S | 10:50 |
| Dr_Willis | surgy: they taste line chicken | 10:50 |
| thune3 | WienerWuerstel: you could try to boot using "Express Boot to the Most Recent Kernel" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 10:50 |
| surgy | Dr_Willis: dont they? | 10:50 |
| Draighth | @Wiener, you best bet is to use the ubuntu LiveCD to working on this | 10:50 |
| thune3 | WienerWuerstel: from that prompt | 10:50 |
| jrib | lindsaymobil22: unofficial ubuntu derivatives aren't supported here. Does that happen on ubuntu? | 10:50 |
| Dr_Willis | lindsaymobil22: when in doubt try installing them from the command line. I tried Joulicloud and dident see the point.. :) | 10:51 |
| lindsaymobil22 | jrib: no, but i wasnt getting an answer in #jolicloud so i though i would ask here, i dont use ubuntu anyway | 10:51 |
| lindsaymobil22 | Dr_Willis: but apps like spotify cant be installed natively through apt-get | 10:51 |
| jrib | lindsaymobil22: be patient in #joliclound then I guess | 10:51 |
| lindsaymobil22 | jrib: i asked my question over 15 mins ago there | 10:51 |
| jrib | lindsaymobil22: be more patient... | 10:52 |
| Dr_Willis | lindsaymobil22: we cant help with jolicloud hacks like that. so thats about where you are stuck. | 10:52 |
| WienerWuerstel | thune3 and Draighth: Thanks i'm gonna try both Solutions and see what works | 10:52 |

| roffe | Hi guys, I've got a weird problem with my gf's ubuntu I installed yesterday. In windows everything works very well(mind you, I won't tolerate MS in my household), but in ubuntu the touchpad is rather annoying. Sometimes when you tap it it works instantly, other times you have to press several times or harder in order to get a response. why? | 10:57 |
| berkes | I think it is simply a matter of some password or setting in either my phone or the NM settings being wrong. | 10:57 |

| jrib | roffe: well on macbooks the sensitivity is too low, you can try increasing it and see if that's the issue. See the macbook ubuntu lucid guide at help.ubuntu.com | 11:03 |
| bt4 | hey | 11:04 |
| zulax | sometimes when i boot up, i get no sound | 11:04 |
| roffe | jrib, thanks, but the thing is that it works perfect sometimes, and not so well other times you tap it. Which makes me think it shouldn't be about the sensitivity | 11:05 |
| zulax | its not muted, volume is high, but the sound icon displaya -- | 11:05 |
| parapan | magnetron: just installed the ufraw ..seems quite OK, except for a feature i was expecting to find ...where is the "NEXT picture" button ? it seems you have to open the raw files piece by piece ...is this correct ? | 11:05 |
| hsr | Hello | 11:05 |
| fi3ei2 | hi | 11:05 |
| Leroy | hello | 11:06 |
| jrib | roffe: excellent way to find out for sure | 11:06 |
| magnetron | parapan: i'm not sure. did you install the gnome-raw-thumbnailer package? it makes thumbnails for the pictures in nautilus | 11:06 |
| roffe | jrib, yes sure, I'll try it anyway then. thanks for now :) | 11:06 |
| parapan | nope ...cause the thumbnailes is based on the same original software and looks a little bit not supported ...however ...i'll give that one a try too ... | 11:07 |
| strange | hey guys my monitor (26" 1200p) only wants to run 640x480 | 11:07 |
| strange | videodriver works fine | 11:07 |
| Matic`Makovec | strange, have you configured your xorg.conf properly? | 11:07 |
| Matic`Makovec | Installed graphics drivers accordingly? | 11:07 |
| strange | well thats the weird part on VGA cable it works on dvi it doesnt | 11:07 |
| magnetron | parapan: ufraw can also be used as a GIMP plugin and a command-line too | 11:07 |
| Matic`Makovec | strange, why not use the VGA then? :) | 11:08 |
| strange | on vga cable i get normal 1920x1200 on dvi i get 640x480 i dont think the monitor gets detected right using dvi so i'd like to hardset the mode | 11:08 |
| zulax | when try force reload alsa, i get this error | 11:08 |
| zulax | lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/zulax/.gvfs | 11:08 |
| zulax | Output information may be incomplete. | 11:08 |
| strange | for some reason teh vga colours dont look as bright dvi gives a much better output | 11:08 |
| Matic`Makovec | I belive that. | 11:09 |
| Dr_Willis | strange: i had an odd issue simiuler to that. via dvi/hdmi a TV/Monitor dident get seen with the proper res. with VGA to the same tv/monitor it did work better | 11:09 |
| hsr | I need partition help here. My system is configured with the following partitions - /, /boot, swap and /home on sda (hd1). I need one more partition from sdb (hd2) for backup as ext4. My current partition manger is not allowing since limit is of four partitions. Using the live cd, will it be advisable to use the same root partition for installation for hd1 (keeping the rest same) and enabling ext4 on hd2? | 11:09 |
| fi3ei2 | "Checksums do not match. Retry?" | 11:09 |
| fi3ei2 | What does it mean while creatin live usb with usb-creator | 11:09 |
| strange | Dr_Willis, did you find a solution? | 11:09 |
| fi3ei2 | pfff | 11:09 |
| Dr_Willis | strange: i gave up on using the TV as a replacement moniotr for my desktop. it was 720P 26 inch and looked horrible compared to this smaller 22 In. monitor | 11:10 |
| Matic`Makovec | strange, just by the way - wierd stuff I tried typing to google and here's what it gave me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283911 | 11:10 |
| Matic`Makovec | Have you by any chance read through that and the link posted? | 11:10 |
| hsr | Dr_Willis: Could you help me with partition? | 11:11 |
| glebihan | hsr: another way would be to use extended partitions | 11:12 |
| Dr_Willis | hsr: depedns on the issue., | 11:12 |
| strange | Matic`Makovec, i dont have an ati card and the videocard is functioning fine its just the monitor :( | 11:12 |
| hsr | Dr_Willis:I need partition help here. My system is configured with the following partitions - /, /boot, swap and /home on sda (hd1).

Using the live cd, will it be advisable to use the same root partition for installation for hd1 (keeping the rest same) and enabling ext4 on hd2? | 11:12 |
| Dr_Willis | hsr: you can have 4 Primary partitions max.. thats an old limit. if you need 5+ parittions one has to be a extended to hold 1+ logicals | 11:12 |
| strange | there isnt an easy way to just force my videocard to push out 1920x1200 even though the monitor says it cant handle it? | 11:12 |
| Matic`Makovec | strange, true, it's kind of written for ATI but... | 11:12 |
| strange | thats all that needs to happen my video card is installed in a way that it supports that resolution just the monitor pretends it can | 11:13 |
| Matic`Makovec | strange, remove all other settings maybe? Just let xorg.conf know about 1920x1200 | 11:13 |
| hsr | glebihan: Dr_Willis: How to do that on my current configuration?? | 11:13 |
| strange | i didnt add any settings | 11:13 |
| magnetron | strange: you could do that by editing xorg.conf. i'm not saying it's easy | 11:13 |
| strange | well apart from my nvidia driver but thats a must i cant use the box without it | 11:13 |
| glebihan | hsr: you would have to backup your data and delete one of the partitions, then create a new one as extended | 11:13 |
| magnetron | strange: wait, did you manually install the driver from the nvidia website? | 11:13 |
| Dr_Willis | hsr: Not sure.. I always tend to just use 4 primaries. rarely need more. You could take your swap partiotion and delete it and remake it as a extended to hold logicals | 11:13 |
| strange | magnetron, could it be easy if i have another monitor on another computer with the identical monitor? | 11:13 |
| strange | can i copy paste? | 11:13 |
| Matic`Makovec | strange, pastebin.org preferably | 11:14 |
| strange | magnetron, i ran nvidia-xconfig | 11:14 |
| Matic`Makovec | Or, aptitude install pastebininit | 11:14 |
| strange | Matic`Makovec, i didnt mean paste in here | 11:14 |
| strange | i ment copy paste from 1 computer to the other seeing i have the same screen twice | 11:14 |
| Matic`Makovec | And just smack pastebininit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 11:14 |
| hsr | glebihan: Dr_Willis: What i was going to try.. won't it work? | 11:14 |
| Matic`Makovec | strange, you can try | 11:14 |
| Matic`Makovec | Make a backup of current file and smack the other one | 11:14 |
| Matic`Makovec | smack in* | 11:15 |
| strange | lets see | 11:15 |
| hsr | glebihan: Dr_Willis: Using the live cd, will it be advisable to use the same root partition for installation for hd1 (keeping the rest same) and enabling ext4 on hd2? | 11:15 |
| Dr_Willis | hsr: im not clear on what you were trying, or your setup. You sort of mentioned you had 2 hard drives also. | 11:15 |
| hsr | Dr_Willis: Yes.. i am using hd1 for linux and i need ext4 from hd2 for backup(rsync) | 11:16 |
| Dr_Willis | hsr: i dont get how the # of parittions on hd1 is affecting your use of hd2 at all.. *i may of missed somthing* | 11:16 |
| strange | Matic`Makovec, and after that just erboot? | 11:16 |
| strange | reboot* | 11:16 |
| hsr | glebihan:Using live cd, will it be advisable to use the same root partition for installation for hd1 (keeping the rest same) and enabling ext4 on hd2? | 11:16 |
| Matic`Makovec | You can just restart gdm or whatever your graphics manager is | 11:16 |
| Matic`Makovec | Together with xserver | 11:17 |
| zulax | i get no sound at this reboot, ubuntu doesnt detect my sound cards | 11:17 |
| Matic`Makovec | Reboot will do it as well, of course | 11:17 |
| hsr | Dr_Willis: Both the hds have 4+ partitions | 11:17 |
| glebihan | hsr: I don't understand exactly what you mean | 11:17 |
| zulax | i get the lsof warning | 11:17 |
| Dr_Willis | hsr: so you want to make a new parittion on hd2 to backup some of hd1 to it? if youy need 5+ partitions you have to somehow convert one to extended+logicals then. | 11:18 |
| zulax | lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon | 11:18 |
| hsr | Dr_Willis: Yes... oh ok | 11:18 |
| Dr_Willis | I must be one of the few people that uses 1 parittion per hard drive. :) | 11:18 |
| magnetron | Dr_Willis: mr LVM? | 11:19 |
| Dr_Willis | magnetron: nope.. just LOTS of hard drives :) | 11:19 |
| Dr_Willis | /home/ is on its own 2tb hd now | 11:20 |
| magnetron | Dr_Willis: sounds a little OCD TBH | 11:20 |
| glebihan | Dr_Willis: nice | 11:20 |
| fi3ei2 | is there anybody can create a usb of ubuntu 10.10 beta | 11:20 |
| fi3ei2 | ? | 11:20 |
| strange | no go | 11:20 |
| Dr_Willis | magnetron: i got the HDs to spare. :) | 11:20 |
| fi3ei2 | or could | 11:20 |
| hsr | glebihan: Well, i have two hds. hd1 for linux and hd2 for other os.. Both the hd have 4 partitions. I want to rsync /home of hd1 to hd2 partition, for which i need to create ext4 partition on hd2... | 11:20 |
| strange | im still stuck in 640x480 land | 11:20 |
| magnetron | fi3ei2: ask in #ubuntu+1 , it's the channel for beta and alpha software | 11:20 |
| Dr_Willis | fi3ei2: i used the usb-creator tool earlier on it.. and it had issues with the syslinux config. i had to edit the config to get it to boot properly | 11:21 |
| zulax | now another problem, if i shutdown/restart from nautilus, it takes me to login screen | 11:21 |
| parapan | just found out about the ufraw > when trying to open multiple files it does open the first raw pictures and if you close the window ( from X button ) the next pictures will be showed, piece by piece | 11:21 |
| glebihan | hsr: ok, so you'll have to create an extended partition on hd2 | 11:21 |
| hsr | glebihan: Will using live cd and keeping / of hd1 as it is and keeping rest same and then creating ext4 on hd2 will do or will it affect? | 11:21 |
| Dr_Willis | hsr: you have 4 windows parittions on hd2 ? | 11:22 |
| glebihan | hsr: this should work | 11:22 |
| === sagar is now known as Guest45691 | ||
| hsr | Dr_Willis: No..only three but linux created swap on it as well | 11:22 |
| hsr | glebihan: Are you sure? | 11:23 |
| Dr_Willis | hsr: check fdisk -l output on the 2nd hd.. last ichecked the installer made a extended on the hd to hold my logical partition that was swap. | 11:23 |
| glebihan | hsr: well, yes, the only restriction you have is to either limit to 4 partitions per disk, or create an extended partition | 11:23 |
| Dr_Willis | hsr: if that was the case. then you could do some resizeing and add a new parittion next to the swap | 11:23 |
| Dr_Willis | hsr: you proberly should pastebin the outoput of 'sudo fdisk -l' | 11:24 |
| hsr | Dr_Willis: Exactly.. thats what i was trying.. but its not allowing | 11:24 |
| rocket16 | Is there a way to allow Pidgin to show and use Skype, without separately running skype? | 11:24 |
| Dr_Willis | hsr: gparted resizeing a extended partition may take more then 1 step. resize the primary next to it.. then reboot. then try using it to expand the extdnded partition | 11:24 |
| erUSUL | rocket16: skype is closed,controlled protocol | 11:24 |
| hsr | Dr_Willis: Could you wait for a moment i think pastebin will help here... | 11:25 |
| Dr_Willis | hsr: you may want to use windows to shrink the windows parittions also. it can often do it MUCH faster | 11:25 |
| === ZNC_DoubleString is now known as DoubleString | ||
| DoubleString | hey all :) | 11:25 |
| surgy | Dr_Willis: shame on you! windows does nothing better! | 11:26 |
| hsr | Dr_Willis: http://pastebin.com/tw9u2Vhv | 11:27 |
| Dr_Willis | surgy: it most definatly can resize windows parittions faster | 11:27 |
| Dr_Willis | surgy: proberly some hidden trick MS wont share | 11:27 |
| strange | Matic`Makovec, xrandr doesnt show names for my output only just "default" | 11:27 |
| hsr | Dr_Willis: sda-linux and sdb is windows | 11:27 |

| surgy | Dr_Willis: your talking about muscular sclerosis right? | 11:28 |
| Dr_Willis | hsr: how many linux installs are on sda anyway? | 11:28 |
| hsr | glebihan: Dr_Willis: Hold on please | 11:28 |
| glebihan | hsr: all you have to do is resize the partitions as you want and create your new ext4 partition on the extended partition of the second disk | 11:28 |
| hsr | glebihan: How? | 11:28 |

| glebihan | hsr: which partition would you like to resize in order to make space for the new one ? | 11:30 |
| klaudij | can anyone help? | 11:30 |
| Dr_Willis | hsr: you basically need to shrink -> /dev/sdb3 25497 34420 71682030 7 HPFS/NTFS and grow sdb4 | 11:30 |
| Dr_Willis | hsr: how full is sdb3? you could just move all the data to a different windows drive and delete it.. | 11:31 |
| klaudij | please someone?! | 11:31 |
| abhay_ | hi | 11:31 |

| kaddi | Hi, I just tried to remove a kernel from my install and it nearly removed all kernels from the PC. Can somebody please explain me why "sudo apt-get remove --purge 2.6.31-14*" will remove linux-image-2.6.31-19-generic, linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic, linux-image-2.6.31-11-generic and linux-image-2.6.31-10-generic | 11:59 |

| skumara | klaudij, on the top panel at the network icon if you right click did u see 'wireless'? | 11:59 |
| Get_A_Fix | this is unfortunately the only disk i could get, at the moment, until monday | 12:00 |
| glebihan | Get_A_Fix: you just began, and you have an edgy version ?? | 12:00 |
| Get_A_Fix | i wanted to atleast upgrade some of the packages, until then | 12:00 |
| klaudij | strange is...i do not have network icon present.. | 12:00 |
| Get_A_Fix | but when i do, it just gives errors with apt | 12:00 |
| Get_A_Fix | glebihan: no, i've used linux, remotely, for a while | 12:01 |
| Get_A_Fix | this is the first time i'm running it as a desktop from home | 12:01 |
| klaudij | skumara: strange is that i do not have any network icon present there | 12:01 |

| Get_A_Fix | monday, i can get a set of stage-disc | 12:01 |
| Get_A_Fix | which i'll use to install | 12:02 |
| glebihan | Get_A_Fix: well, I'd really a fresh install, since edgy is not supported since some time now | 12:02 |
| Get_A_Fix | yeah, i have a couple of respositories | 12:02 |
| glebihan | Get_A_Fix: and I don't know if an upgrade is possible (anyway a clean upgrade) | 12:02 |
| Get_A_Fix | but even then, when i do update or -u upgrade | 12:02 |
| Get_A_Fix | the packages fail | 12:02 |

| Get_A_Fix | i have http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu | 12:03 |
| Get_A_Fix | but they had security.ubuntu.com - which fails | 12:03 |
| tuntun | What's the best word processor that doesn't require java? | 12:03 |

| rambo123 | I deleted a 2 gig file and dh stil shows 98% used of free space. Was it teleted or moved ?l | 12:05 |
| Get_A_Fix | hrmm, for edgy, i can't remember, i changed the sources.list to lucid and tried a dist-upgrade | 12:05 |
| Get_A_Fix | but ran in to pretty much the same problem, with conflicting packages and dependancies | 12:05 |
| zeeble | are you trying to upgrade to 10.10 or 10.04, Get_A_Fix? | 12:06 |
| glebihan | Get_A_Fix: you shouldn't have done that | 12:06 |
| Get_A_Fix | from 6.10 to anything | 12:06 |
| Get_A_Fix | heh | 12:06 |
| klaudij | is there any way to fix and instal all i need from terminal? some command? | 12:06 |
| kaddi | bbiab | 12:06 |
| glebihan | Get_A_Fix: you should put back the edgy repos, and then run dist-upgrade | 12:07 |
| Get_A_Fix | i'll change sources.list back, but if i do, a lot of what i want/need is no longer available :\ | 12:07 |
| Get_A_Fix | it was why i changed it | 12:07 |
| Get_A_Fix | to get other packages, but i guess that's why it's breaking | 12:07 |
| Get_A_Fix | i will clean, and dist-upgrade from there | 12:07 |
| Get_A_Fix | i also changed kern's, probably not good, atm | 12:07 |
| Get_A_Fix | 2.6.32.15+drm33.5 | 12:08 |
| Get_A_Fix | :\ | 12:08 |
| glebihan | Get_A_Fix: that doesn't matter, your kernel will be updated on upgrade anyway | 12:08 |
| Get_A_Fix | i think it was, to 2.6.17 | 12:08 |
| Get_A_Fix | and i've got an ipv6 tunnel running, which needs 2.6.20+ | 12:09 |
| Get_A_Fix | 6.10 is quite a few years ago | 12:09 |

| tuntun | erUSUL, I last used abiword about a year ago and it was a buggy POS. has it changed? | 12:15 |
| erUSUL | rambo3: unless you mount it in a different location tmp takes space from the root partition. | 12:15 |
| glebihan | klaudij: sorry "sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager restart" | 12:15 |

| Hounddog | ubuntu server installation hangs at i386_start_kernel.... :((( | 12:25 |
| erUSUL | rambo3: sorry; dunno what is overflowing here, could be any of the « grep tmpfs /proc/mounts | awk '{ print $2}' » | 12:25 |
| LjL | n00by: sure, actually that's the default behavior | 12:25 |
| erUSUL | rambo3: afaik | 12:25 |
| rambo3 | erUSUL, I am reading this : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=785575 | 12:25 |
| n00by | LjL: really? | 12:25 |
| n00by | someone said it would remove the dependancies too | 12:26 |
| miousername | Yes you can remove the package with dpkg -r --force-all package.deb | 12:26 |
| n00by | sudo apt-get remove gearman | 12:26 |
| n00by | wait, it's getting confusing :( | 12:26 |
| LjL | n00by: it does if you do "sudo apt-get autoremove gearman", but not with just "remove" | 12:26 |
| miousername | but you broke the dependecies tree | 12:26 |
| miousername | the best way n00by is | 12:26 |
| n00by | LjL: you mean autoremove removes the dependancies while remove does not ? | 12:27 |
| guitar-maniac | sudo alsa_setup.sh says the file cant be found? it is in the folder.. | 12:27 |
| miousername | not to remove in this way | 12:27 |
| miousername | the package | 12:27 |
| ksbalaji | when I start gdm I get this error message: http://pastebin.com/xHxT0K6T I pray someone could help! | 12:27 |
| miousername | we have to see spefically your problem | 12:27 |
| LjL | n00by: more or less. autoremove removes packages that are unneeded (i.e. not depended upon by any other package), so if your package was the only one that depended on them, they get removed | 12:28 |
| n00by | LjL: and remove would just remove the package but not the ones on which it's dependant? | 12:29 |
| chull | i'm stuck, we tried to upgrade flash to v 10 now it's not working at all. it's kubuntu.. how do i tell what version of kubuntu my husband has? | 12:29 |
| LjL | n00by: yes (although you can do "sudo apt-get autoremove" later) | 12:29 |
| n00by | I mean I have p1 and p2, p1 is dependant on p2, no other pakcgaes are dependant on p2, so remove will just remove p1 but autoremove will remove p1 and p2, right ? | 12:29 |
| LjL | n00by: indeed | 12:30 |
| n00by | LjL: thank you | 12:30 |
| miousername | Do you know a command line program to check the signal strength of a HSDPA connection?! | 12:30 |

| janisozaur | a friend of mine has a wifi nook. it is said (and he confirms) that it does not connect to ad-hoc wifi networks, and he can't root it (it's the newer hardware revision). Is is possible to spoof infrastucture wifi using laptop's wireless card? | 12:30 |
| pheonixman | how do i extract the header from an mp3 file..? | 12:31 |
| vu1kan | <<sudo ntfsundelete /dev/sdb1 -umf *.avi -d /dev/sda1/DrWho/>> is there anything wrong with my syntax? | 12:31 |
| LjL | n00by: although i have to ask, why do you want to keep dependencies installed if nothing is dependant on them? if it's because you have manually compiled stuff that APT doesn't know about, there's probably a better way | 12:31 |
| chull | n00by, thanks | 12:31 |
| n00by | LjL: so how do you want me to delete a pakcage ? | 12:31 |
| n00by | LjL: I thought sudo apt-get remove gearman would delete gearman and all it's dependancies, but you said autoremove will do that | 12:32 |
| n00by | so what shall I be doing, whats correct? please tell me | 12:32 |
| LjL | n00by: both are correct, but i would use "autoremove", because, why keep the dependencies installed if they're no longer needed? | 12:32 |
| LjL | unless you know you're going to reinstall it (or another package that depends on the same things) shortly after, i guess | 12:32 |
| chull | n00by, gah! he has 8.04 in here, he says it would not upgrade to any more recent version, it's not an old computer, what to do? | 12:32 |
| n00by | LjL: ok, I will use autoremove from now onwards :) | 12:32 |
| LjL | n00by: you can also use "remove" and then just do a "sudo apt-get autoremove" periodically, to get rid of unneeded things. matter of preference. | 12:33 |
| n00by | I remember upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 to 9.04 to 9.10 | 12:33 |
| n00by | so don't know what the issue is, maybe someone else can help, as my nick says, I am just a n00by :P | 12:33 |
| n00by | LjL: so sudo apt-get autoremove removes ALL the unneeded dependancies/packages ? | 12:34 |
| chull | n00by, umm and i'm not? but yes i did those too and suffered through all the broken things.. i can't believe he did this | 12:34 |
| LjL | n00by: yep | 12:34 |
| n00by | thanks a ton | 12:34 |

So, I decided to convert it to avi and see if maybe after that I will be able to hear it. I tried ffmpeg but I get this--> http://pastebin.com/LEhqM9te | 13:15 |

I have lost my sound upon reboot and the possiblity to shutdown properly from the login screen and also from the desktop I can not shutdown. Restart does not work. My sound card does not work at all. Sometimes when I boot up it works out but 9/10 times it keeps acting up like I described. Can someone give me some help on how to fix this issue? | 13:25 |

| phaedra | gucko, did you install and setup your lamp from the ubu repos or install the suite from apachefriends.org? apachefriends has one that you can use from a dir to have a test server. | 13:27 |
| ChogyDan | DrGrov: have you tried using the old kernel? | 13:28 |
| phaedra | gucko, they have a tomcat version. it might be easier to use that. | 13:28 |
| DrGrov | ChogyDan: It is really strange since there was no problems even though I kept updating kernel patches Update Manager suggested. It is just that last kernel update that messed up the system. No, I just kept on updating as suggestions. | 13:28 |
| gucko | phaedra: from the repos. I followed the ubuntu wiki instructions | 13:28 |
| ChogyDan | DrGrov: the old kernel should still be around, you should be able to select it at boot | 13:29 |
| DrGrov | ChogyDan: The thing is that I do not have way of accessing a boot menu... | 13:29 |
| phaedra | gucko, kk... you'd have to install tomcat et al from the repos. or you can just try the xampp version. | 13:29 |
| DrGrov | ChogyDan: It seems to go to fast so I do not see the option to choose kernel. | 13:29 |
| Vok | erUSUL: I got this : http://pastebin.com/atVRAfrt | 13:29 |

| ChogyDan | DrGrov: try holding shift? | 13:30 |
| Zombie | Now it won't let me have 3D accelleration at all. | 13:30 |
| Zombie | It says | 13:30 |
| DrGrov | ChogyDan: Ok. I think I gotta do a reboot then and get back if it does not work. | 13:30 |
| Zombie | "Cannot find an RGB GLX Double Buffered visual" | 13:30 |
| DrGrov | ChogyDan: Can I downgrade this kernel I have now which I got from Update Manager? | 13:30 |
| jrib | jabba: (grep and (cut or awk)) or sed | 13:30 |
| erUSUL | Vok: then it is not that ... / what does « file file.flv » returns ? | 13:30 |
| jabba | how is it possible at all to extraxt a substring (value) out of VAR="value" | 13:30 |
| jrib | jabba: I just told you 3 ways! :) | 13:31 |
| DrGrov | ChogyDan: It seems like the stock that comes with 10.04 has been working the best. | 13:31 |
| jabba | ok, jrib and now an example ;) | 13:31 |
| jabba | i am lazy | 13:31 |
| ChogyDan | DrGrov: like I said, you should be able to boot the old one | 13:31 |
| DrGrov | ChogyDan: But if I can not boot the old one? What is the next thing then? | 13:31 |
| pure_hate | anyone got a ubuntu linux server 10.04 kernel .config file available? | 13:32 |
| Vok | erUSUL: Macromedia Flash Video | 13:32 |
| ChogyDan | DrGrov: figure out why you can't boot the old one? | 13:32 |
| DrGrov | ChogyDan: Yeah, I will try to hold in shift at boot up to see if it works. | 13:32 |
| jrib | jabba: -_- me too... one sec | 13:33 |
| erUSUL | jabba: echo "$string" | awk { split($4,fstype,"="); print fstype[2] }' | 13:33 |

| norstrom | anyone know if there is a way to make the "grab zone?" edges of windows larger? | 13:34 |
| jabba | wow .. i'll never understand those hieroglyphs :) | 13:35 |
| jrib | jabba: it's easier to understand if you write it yourself :) | 13:35 |
| jrib | though erUSUL's doesn't use regex, so it's probably easier to understand | 13:36 |
| jabba | erUSUL, produces a failure concerning "(" | 13:36 |
| DrGrov | ChogyDan: The kernel switching worked. I am now using 2.6.32-23-generic-pae and that is not been acting up now with 2 boots. | 13:36 |

| cobra-the-joker | hey guys ... how can i change my whole locale settings in ubuntu ? | 13:37 |
| ChogyDan | DrGrov: if you like, you can file a bug reporting your experience. It can be very helpful for the devs to hear about such regressions | 13:37 |
| DrGrov | ChogyDan: I am not that bug report guy usually. Can someone else fill out that bug report with that information I described? | 13:38 |
| ChogyDan | DrGrov: no, but it is up to you | 13:38 |
| erUSUL | jrib: jabba correct you need a ' in awk '{ ... }' | 13:38 |
| jrib | erUSUL: so how would you get rid of the "" using only awk (I know barely any awk)? | 13:38 |
| DrGrov | ChogyDan: Can I somehow make the 2.6.32-23 back as my default kernel? | 13:38 |
| Vok | this is really weird :S I have the codecs but I still can't hear the flv video | 13:38 |
| erUSUL | jrib: sudo blkid | awk '{ split($3,fstype,"="); gsub(/"/,"",fstype[2]); print fstype[2] }' | 13:39 |
| cobra-the-joker | i really need to change the locale settings | 13:39 |
| jabba | erUSUL, jrib, now to make it harder: it's not always the 4th field, so it would be better to query the string "TYPE" :( | 13:39 |
| kaddi | is there a dedicated channel for apt-get issues? | 13:39 |
| jrib | erUSUL: thanks | 13:39 |
| ChogyDan | DrGrov: you can either remove the latest kernel, or change some of the grub2 configuration. removal is probably easier, just use synaptic | 13:39 |
| * jrib awaits the awk magic for this one :) | 13:39 | |
| jabba | hrhr | 13:39 |
| jabba | magic is the right word | 13:40 |
| jrib | jabba: mine will work if you just surround the regex with .* .* | 13:40 |
| DrGrov | ChogyDan: Ok, I think synaptic is the way to go with this one. So in Synaptic I find everything with 2.6.32-24 and remove those? | 13:40 |
| === Tscheesy_ is now known as Tscheesy | ||
| ChogyDan | DrGrov: that will do it, the main one is linux-image-2.6....-generic | 13:40 |

| jabba | jrib, no | 13:41 |
| jrib | jabba: meh just use sed | 13:41 |
| ChogyDan | kaddi: what's the problem? | 13:41 |
| ChogyDan | DrGrov: the version you pointed out | 13:41 |
| jrib | jabba: or you can grep and then pass it to awk | 13:41 |
| Vok | erUSUL: the only thing I got was Macromedia Flash Video | 13:42 |

| DrGrov | ChogyDan: It seems like these three are enough, linux-headers-2.6.32-24, linux-headers-2.6.32-24-generic-pae, linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic-pae? | 13:42 |
| kaddi | ChogyDan: I'm trying to find out why sudo apt-get remove --purge 2.6.31-14* would remove the kernels 31-10, 31-11, 31-14 and 31-19 | 13:42 |
| kaddi | sry | 13:42 |
| jrib | erUSUL: I guess you are going to use match()? | 13:42 |
| jabba | jrib, blkid /dev/sdh1 | sed 's/.*TYPE="\([^"]\+\)".*/\1/' <--- works | 13:42 |
| jabba | :) | 13:42 |

| MichealH | erdnase: Take note of the number and type it in synaptic and remove it :) | 13:43 |

| ChogyDan | kaddi: yeah, I duuno, maybe try linux*02.6.31-14* | 13:44 |
| jrib | jabba: of course the better question is why do you want to do this? | 13:44 |
| DrGrov | complete removal or just removal on the 2.6.32-24 kernel? | 13:45 |
| ChogyDan | DrGrov: like I said, you only need to get the linux-image-version you want to get rid of | 13:45 |

| DrGrov | ChogyDan: How do you mean really? | 13:45 |
| kaddi | ChogyDan: I want it to only remove 14, not 10,11 and 19 as well... This nearly killed my PC, trying to uninstall all present kernels on the system | 13:45 |
| ChogyDan | DrGrov: that is all you need to do | 13:46 |
| DrGrov | ChogyDan: I am bit lost here. I find the 2.6.32-24 kernel but how do I remove it? Complete removal or removal? | 13:46 |
| jabba | jrib, to learn... but grep only gives me lines, not substrings | 13:46 |
| jrib | jabba: that's why you must learn about -o | 13:46 |
| kaddi | ChogyDan: you're suggestion linux*02.6.31-14* says no package found | 13:46 |
| jabba | hmm.. lets have a look | 13:47 |
| jrib | jabba: echo 'cat="dog" foo="bar"' | grep -o 'foo[^ ]\+' | 13:47 |
| ChogyDan | DrGrov: just: sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic | 13:47 |
| DrGrov | ChogyDan: Thanks, will do :) | 13:47 |
| ChogyDan | kaddi: yeah, the 0 was a typo | 13:47 |
| DrGrov | ChogyDan: The linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic is not installed so not removing it..... | 13:48 |
| kaddi | ChogyDan: yeah, I tried it without the 0 too and got no hits | 13:48 |
| DrGrov | ChogyDan: Any other suggestions? | 13:48 |
| ChogyDan | DrGrov: you are good, do that command for every version you want to remove | 13:49 |
| DrGrov | ChogyDan: You sure, it is not installed? | 13:50 |
| kaddi | ChogyDan: I just think this is a rather dangerous behaviour, because if I were to uninstall the old 2.6.32-22 kernel, that would automatically also uninstall the 23 and the current 24 as well | 13:50 |
| DrGrov | ChogyDan: Synaptic still shows that I have the 24 installed | 13:50 |

| DrGrov | ChogyDan: Now every kernel that has the ending 24 in them are removed | 13:57 |
| __cool__ | Stefanos90: are you porting libraries to py3 itself? for the average user the prob is, not many libs are ported yet. this is not a #ubuntu topic mostly though | 13:57 |
| mbwins | mmm....kay | 13:57 |
| ChogyDan | DrGrov: you should be set | 13:57 |
| DrGrov | ChogyDan: Hopefully works, if not nothing big. Reinstall then | 13:57 |
| DrGrov | ChogyDan: rebooting to check if it works | 13:58 |
| Stefanos90 | <__cool__> I use it for very simple programms for example if a=b print bravo | 13:58 |
| erdnase | Good day, it's me again with another problem. I downloaded summong wars. It was a .tgz file, extracted it to /username/sumwars. I CDed to it and ran "make", and I get this error. make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. | 13:58 |
| erdnase | summoning* | 13:58 |
| erdnase | make makefile | 13:59 |
| erdnase | make and make install* | 13:59 |
| papul | is there something called checkinstall? | 13:59 |
| geirha | erdnase: How you build a program from source differs from program to program. Look for a README or INSTALL file for instructions. | 13:59 |
| amadews | first is ./configure make and make instal? | 13:59 |
| papul | checkinstall << is there something like that? | 14:00 |
| papul | that builds a .deb? | 14:00 |
| bobbytek2 | What steps can I take to get ubuntu to recognize my monitor. | 14:00 |
| bobbytek2 | The resolution is drastic | 14:00 |
| erdnase | amadews, was that for me? o_o | 14:00 |
| papul | bobbytek2, first of all attach ur monitor :P | 14:00 |
| amadews | yap | 14:00 |
| bobbytek2 | I'm also running over virtualbox | 14:00 |
| geirha | !info checkinstall | papul | 14:00 |
| ubottu | papul: checkinstall (source: checkinstall): installation tracker. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.6.1-10 (lucid), package size 121 kB, installed size 560 kB | 14:00 |
| bobbytek2 | the host is win7 | 14:01 |
| papul | bobbytek2, install virtualbox guest additions | 14:01 |
| erdnase | amadews, I get this after ./configure | 14:01 |
| geirha | bobbytek2: Install the guest additions in the guest, then reboot the guest. | 14:01 |
| erdnase | http://paste.ubuntu.com/488281/ | 14:01 |
| __cool__ | Stefanos90: well, it doesn't matter too much then. i'd still recommend py2. on the python.org site they even have changed back py2 to list above py3 some time ago. it may not matter too much for first steps. still this is not the place. msg/query me if you like | 14:01 |
| bobbytek2 | geirha: hmm, never heard of this | 14:02 |
| * bobbytek2 googles | 14:02 | |
| papul | bobbytek2, its available in a menu in the os running window. dont remember exactly | 14:02 |
| papul | brb | 14:03 |
| bobbytek2 | ah, found it | 14:03 |
| Dr_Willis | If using Virtualbox - it pays to go to the Vbox homepage and read the docs. :) | 14:03 |
| bobbytek2 | Dr_Willis: will do that as well :) | 14:03 |
| geirha | bobbytek2: It's in one of the menus at the top of the VM window. "Install Guest additions" or something like that. It mounts an iso in the wm with installers for many OSes. | 14:03 |
| jk_ | bobbytek2, At the top of the vbox window is a menu bar. pull down "devices" and at the very bottom will be "install guest additions." select that and follow its prompts. I have Xubuntu host and Windows guests so can't help from that point on... | 14:04 |
| hsr | Where are all software stored? | 14:05 |
| bobbytek2 | hmm, it does nothing | 14:05 |
| DrGrov | ChogyDan: Now the shit has hit the fan... :/ It was not a kernel thing. It still did not fix the sound issues and reboot functions.... | 14:05 |
| jabba | erUSUL, jrib , thanks for your help , btw | 14:05 |
| Dr_Willis | hsr: software packages that get download get cached to /var/cache/apt/ | 14:05 |
| geirha | bobbytek2: No CD-drive appeared in the guest? | 14:06 |
| Dr_Willis | hsr: software 'installs' stuff all over the system where ever its needed | 14:06 |
| Carlitos__ | hi do you know how to record a mp3 from a DVD ? | 14:06 |
| ChogyDan | DrGrov: I thought it did fix things | 14:06 |
| DrGrov | ChogyDan: I thought as well but not. The problem is somewhere else... | 14:06 |
| bobbytek2 | geirha: let me check, sorry this is all so new! | 14:06 |
| bobbytek2 | ah, it's on the desktop | 14:06 |
| hsr | Dr_Willis: I am installing google earth from its bin file.. what install path should i give? | 14:07 |
| DrGrov | ChogyDan: The reboot did not help. The problems persist still. | 14:07 |
| ChogyDan | DrGrov: did it work with an earlier reboot? | 14:07 |
| DrGrov | ChogyDan: Yes, it worked out as well on the 24 as it did on 23 and 22. | 14:07 |
| hsr | Carlitos:Whats the DVD format? | 14:07 |
| jk_ | bobbytek2, it may simply load it as the CD for linux hosts. if that's the case you need to change directory to the cd and run the program that's there. | 14:07 |
| geirha | bobbytek2: Open it, then in the file browser window, there should be a little banner saying there's some autorun stuff on the CD, click the button to run it. | 14:07 |
| hsr | Dr_Willis: I am installing google earth from its bin file.. what install path should i give? | 14:07 |
| DrGrov | ChogyDan: It seems like there is something else messing it up and not the kernel. 9/10 times it has not worked on 24 so that is why I thought it was a kernel issue. | 14:07 |
| bobbytek2 | i clicked and ran autorun.sh | 14:08 |
| hsr | Sorry | 14:08 |
| qazwsx | I'm having trouble compiling FLTK 2.0.x with GL support, ./configure and make result in this: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/PcEvALwX it *looks* like I'm missing GLUT libs, but I'm unsure which, could anybody be of assistance? | 14:08 |
| Dr_Willis | hsr: you dont need to give it a path really. You can install it in your users Home directory if you wanted to. | 14:08 |
| bobbytek2 | so, what does this do exactly? | 14:08 |
| Dr_Willis | hsr: google earth is in some repos. theres no real need to use that bin. | 14:08 |
| Dr_Willis | hsr: tell it /opt/ if you want to keep the system clean | 14:08 |
| geirha | bobbytek2: It installs drivers that allow virtualbox to have more control over the guest system. | 14:09 |
| hsr | Dr_Willis:yes opt will do (Medibuntu repo i was not insteresed in adding) | 14:09 |
| geirha | bobbytek2: You'll be able to change resolution by simply resizing the virtualbox window. | 14:09 |
| bobbytek2 | i see, neato | 14:09 |
| hsr | Dr_Willis:opt is for what? | 14:09 |
| Dr_Willis | hsr: optional stuff | 14:09 |
| bobbytek2 | I guess I have a second question | 14:09 |
| jk_ | bobbytek2, for Windows guests, it installs a new video driver, a new mouse driver, and also enables folder sharing and a few other options. I don't know what it does for Linux guests but it should be pretty similar... | 14:09 |
| bobbytek2 | Which is preferred, virtualbox or wubi? | 14:09 |
| bobbytek2 | or are they really just different | 14:10 |
| Dr_Willis | bobbytek2: the 2 are radically different. | 14:10 |
| bobbytek2 | I just wanted to be able to boot up my work os easily | 14:10 |
| Dr_Willis | bobbytek2: i would perfer virtualbox over wubi | 14:10 |
| bobbytek2 | without restarting | 14:10 |
| hsr | Dr_Willis:i want to know for others as well like usr etc var... from where i can know this? Any document link you can suggest? | 14:10 |
| DrGrov | ChogyDan: No ideas on the next step on how to make this thing work out? | 14:10 |
| Dr_Willis | bobbytek2: vbbox = run bothj at the same time | 14:10 |
| bobbytek2 | ya | 14:10 |
| bobbytek2 | what's the performance degredation? | 14:10 |
| Dr_Willis | hsr: check out the linux software base (i think is the site) | 14:10 |
| ChogyDan | DrGrov: unfortunately no, no for me | 14:11 |
| hsr | bobbytek2:Go for Virtualbox | 14:11 |
| Dr_Willis | bobbytek2: depends on the ram and system. I found vbox very useable | 14:11 |
| DrGrov | Guess it is time to get rid of Ubuntu then if it is this much issues on a daily basis. | 14:11 |
| Stefanos90 | why I can't join channels? it says :Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services | 14:11 |
| Dr_Willis | DrGrov: its a free country.. do what you want | 14:11 |
| __cool__ | Stefanos90: you need to be identified with services :) | 14:11 |
| DrGrov | Dr_Willis: Yes, I might but I like Ubuntu. Just that this issue is making it impossible to do much at all.. | 14:11 |
| hsr | Dr_Willis: Any ubuntu documentation? | 14:12 |
| Stefanos90 | what does this mean?? | 14:12 |
| Dr_Willis | DrGrov: ive no idea what your problem is/was. So cant really comment more | 14:12 |
| Dr_Willis | !manual | hsr | 14:12 |
| ubottu | hsr: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 14:12 |
| bobbytek2 | okay, so I installed guest additions, i just restart and boom? | 14:12 |
| __cool__ | Stefanos90: that is: register your nick, wait for a mail, follow the instructions to verify, then you are logged in aka identified | 14:12 |
| Dr_Willis | bobbytek2: boom? huh? | 14:12 |
| hsr | DrGrov: Whats the issue? | 14:13 |
| DrGrov | Dr_Willis: Sure, no worries. | 14:13 |
| Dr_Willis | bobbytek2: guest addations add some extra features. vbox shares, and better prefomacce | 14:13 |
| spunk | Hello, is there a shell command that displays the OS version? I've googled without luck... | 14:13 |
| bobbytek2 | well, the resolution is better now | 14:13 |
| Stefanos90 | <__cool__> thx.. I try to enter the python room, where sould I register? | 14:13 |
| bobbytek2 | but can't I get my monitor's native resolution? | 14:13 |
| hsr | Thanks Dr_Willis, ubottu | 14:13 |
| hsr | DrGrov: Whats the issue? | 14:13 |
| geirha | bobbytek2: Right-ctrl + F | 14:13 |
| DrGrov | Good evening. Have a problem with the new kernel it seems on 10.04. I have lost my sound upon reboot and the possiblity to shutdown properly from the login screen and also from the desktop I can not shutdown. Restart does not work. My sound card does not work at all. Sometimes when I boot up it works out but 9/10 times it keeps acting up like I described. Can someone give me some help on how to fix this issue? | 14:14 |
| bobbytek2 | ah! | 14:14 |
| bobbytek2 | nice | 14:14 |
| Dr_Willis | bobbytek2: check the vbox manual/pages for how to use vbox | 14:14 |
| jk_ | bobbytek2, on that vbox menu, pull down "machine" and study its options. they include things like fullscreen display and automatic size adjustment. | 14:14 |
| bobbytek2 | okay, this is good enough guys | 14:14 |
| bobbytek2 | thanks so much for all your help | 14:14 |
| __cool__ | Stefanos90: you register with the freenode system via the nickserv. type "/msg nickserv register <password> <email>" then follow the instructions in the email. takes 1 or more hours sometimes :/ | 14:14 |
| bazhang | DrGrov, got padevchooser and pavucontrol installed? checked in alsamixer that nothing is muted? | 14:14 |
| bobbytek2 | this concludes my proof of concept :) | 14:14 |
| DrGrov | hsr: that is the issue i keep having | 14:14 |
| DrGrov | bazhang: that is not the case. tested already. | 14:14 |
| bazhang | DrGrov, installed the first two items ? | 14:15 |
| DrGrov | bazhang: the alsamixer is completely muted without anything to be done. | 14:15 |
| DrGrov | bazhang: not that i know of. gotta check. | 14:15 |
| bazhang | DrGrov, its muted? why not unmute it then | 14:15 |
| DrGrov | bazhang: well, i am not that dumb. i can not unmute it without a restart. | 14:15 |
| DrGrov | and a reboot does not help since i need to go to tty1 and sudo reboot | 14:15 |
| DrGrov | nothing padevchooser nor pavucontrol is installed | 14:16 |
| DrGrov | i haven't had this issue at first so something is messing it up but not sure what now since it keeps happening even if i went back to the -23 kernel | 14:16 |
| bazhang | DrGrov, perhaps give those a try | 14:16 |
| DrGrov | bazhang: you mean i should install pavuchooser or?? | 14:17 |
| bazhang | DrGrov, pavucontrol padevchooser | 14:17 |
| DrGrov | bazhang: or what? i did not know that i need to go to tty1 and do a manual reboot since it has never caused any issues at all. | 14:17 |
| bazhang | DrGrov, not sure about your issue, just trying to be helpful | 14:18 |
| DrGrov | so the reboot and shutdown options are also unavailable and do not work. not just the sound. | 14:18 |
| DrGrov | so, perhaps time to reinstall this whole thing since this makes it impossible to work at all . | 14:18 |
| Emery | how would i go about updating to 10.10 from previous stable version ? | 14:18 |
| bazhang | well working on one issue at a time is normally the best course of action | 14:18 |
| bazhang | Emery, #ubuntu+1 for 10.10 | 14:18 |
| padster | hey, does anyone have a 64 bit libgcc_s.so.1? | 14:19 |
| bazhang | DrGrov, what about creating another user and testing with that, should padevchooser and pavucontrol not solve it | 14:19 |
| padster | i deleted mine and now almost noting works | 14:19 |
| budwaa | anyone know how to set default x login to gdm safe mode? | 14:19 |
| padster | nope, sry | 14:20 |
| Fableflame | Oh yeah, I just searched for and installed a game through the terminal. I'M SUCH A POWER USER. | 14:20 |
| padster | ^^ | 14:20 |
| padster | there's so many people some has to have 64 bit | 14:21 |
| padster | anyone? please? | 14:21 |
| __cool__ | padster: yeah, only not 10.04.... it's only 5k here, how important can it be? ;) | 14:21 |
| fiil_hpy | Hi! | 14:21 |
| padster | what version do you have? | 14:22 |
| padster | it's really important | 14:22 |
| __cool__ | padster: have you delted both, the real file and the link to it? | 14:22 |
| fiil_hpy | Which is do you think is the less banned (from some servers) torrent client for Linux ? | 14:22 |
| padster | well, skype won't start if there is a /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 | 14:22 |
| padster | so i wanted to delete it | 14:22 |
| === ganesh is now known as Guest40628 | ||
| padster | but i deleted /lib not /usr/lib | 14:23 |
| __cool__ | padster: oh, just checked, i don't have libgcc_s, only libgccpp | 14:23 |
| padster | fiil_hpy: idk, but i think deluge is the best | 14:23 |
| fiil_hpy | padster: many users had seen that the most blocked client on linux is deluge :) | 14:24 |
| padster | no? you have gcc installed? | 14:24 |
| padster | oh | 14:24 |
| padster | why would someone block it? | 14:24 |
| Compost | Howdy | 14:24 |
| padster | hey | 14:24 |
| fiil_hpy | padster: i mean banned. | 14:25 |
| padster | yeah, but ban from what? | 14:25 |
| Compost | Anyone who can answer me a question about fspot? When I use the fullscreen/slideshow function, its lags and looks bad. Can I some how turn that off, so the images just show up with no effects? | 14:25 |
| padster | sry, i don't use fspot | 14:26 |
| fiil_hpy | padster: many of them are banned from many sites... some sites write it also.. but i did not looked them.. | 14:26 |
| padster | hmm. that's dumb | 14:26 |
| __cool__ | padster: i do think i have gcc installed... oh, i have a file with that name in /usr/lib :) | 14:26 |
| padster | why block certain clients? | 14:26 |
| fiil_hpy | padster: banned from servers to do not download. | 14:26 |
| dr0id | guys can someone tell me what ./configure -> make -> make install does ? | 14:26 |
| __cool__ | padster: noes, /lib i mean... | 14:26 |
| Fableflame | Is Tovid any good for burning DVD's? | 14:26 |
| padster | installs stuff from source code | 14:26 |
| dr0id | padster: could you explain me in details about each of them? | 14:27 |
| padster | so you have the libgcc_s.so.1 in /usr/lib? | 14:27 |
| padster | i mean just lib | 14:27 |
| __cool__ | padster: and it's 100k :) ... i just don't know if this will work for you. it's ubuntu 9 on this machine | 14:27 |
| padster | well, it's better than nothing | 14:28 |
| padster | can you send it? | 14:28 |
| jk_ | dr0id, configure set up options that are customized to your specific system. make compiles the source code into executable form, and make install then moves the executable program to its final resting place(s). | 14:28 |
| dr0id | jk_: hmm, make and make install made sense, but configure didn't... | 14:29 |
| padster | configure sets up the thing for your system | 14:29 |
| amadews | hy can help my whit this >http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/qDPBhgYa | 14:29 |
| padster | __cool__: can you send it, or upload it somewhere? | 14:29 |
| DrGrov | bazhang: i am pretty sure it has nothing to do with padevchooser nor pavucontrol | 14:29 |
| __cool__ | padster: see my pm | 14:30 |
| padster | i can't get firefox open. | 14:30 |
| DrGrov | bazhang: this is a completely different thing | 14:30 |
| __cool__ | padster: wget? | 14:30 |
| padster | yeah, i would try that | 14:30 |
| jschoolcraft | trying to install "libmagick++-dev" on karmic (sudo aptitude install libmagick++-dev nor sudo aptitude install libmagick++-dev work) but I can see it in search and the package list is: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/packages/show/212924.

| stjuuv | hello all | 14:30 |
| realubot | Does all native Ubuntu games play work in MythTV? | 14:30 |
| jrib | jschoolcraft: pastebin | 14:30 |
| jrib | realubot: they should... | 14:30 |
| DrGrov | i will reinstall the whole thing before the shit hits the fan even harder | 14:30 |
| stjuuv | can anyone tell me if there is a way to use vlc as a default media player in chrome? | 14:31 |
| realubot | jrib: Ok, thanks. | 14:31 |
| padster | i'll copy it over now... thanks, i'll see if it works | 14:31 |
| bazhang | DrGrov, language please | 14:31 |
| DrGrov | bazhang: you serious with me? | 14:31 |
| jk_ | dr0id, many programs have dustomizeable options, and even make itself has to know where to put things. the "where" depends on the distro among other things, so configure does a lot of testing to determine what's needed on your system as opposed to a slackware or fedora installation. source files are "one size fits all" and configure does the fitting... | 14:31 |
| bazhang | DrGrov, so creating another user didn't do it either | 14:31 |
| DrGrov | bazhang: that is not even close to being offensive language | 14:31 |
| bazhang | DrGrov, completely serious | 14:31 |
| DrGrov | bazhang: nah, forget it. i remove ubuntu and go to something a bit more functional. | 14:31 |
| DrGrov | thanks though | 14:31 |
| bazhang | DrGrov, welcome. good luck. | 14:32 |
| stjuuv | Is there a way to change the default web player to vlc? | 14:32 |

| bazhang | stjuuv, what website | 14:35 |
| zadarmo3 | Help, I'm downloading 9.10 in Opera which should end at 699 mb but it keeps downloading from nowhere now and it says it downloaded 795 mb and it keeps growing. | 14:35 |

| rahro | what do you want exactly? | 14:35 |
| bazhang | stjuuv, that looks like a school website that needs a login and password | 14:36 |
| stjuuv | damn, you are right | 14:36 |

| bazhang | stjuuv, got w32codecs and ubuntu-restricted-extras installed? | 14:36 |
| stjuuv | w32codecs i did a while ago | 14:36 |
| stjuuv | i will look into the other one | 14:37 |
| rahro | what do you want exactly? <SwedeMike> | 14:37 |
| bazhang | stjuuv, works fine here on ff | 14:37 |

| dsirijus | i'm having a terrible drops in internet connection speed when using any of the torrent clients and i am not even downloading a lot nor do have i established a lots of connections... wha tcould be the issue? | 14:38 |
| __cool__ | padster: good for you! have fun :) | 14:38 |
| dsirijus | most of the web pages timeout | 14:39 |
| stjuuv | btw, i have the same problem as dsirijus | 14:39 |
| padster | yeah... i thought my interent sucked | 14:39 |
| SwedeMike | rahro: I don't want anything. I'm trying to help you give details so someone else can help you. Imagine you're writing an email to the car repair shop saying "my car doesn't work, what's wrong". There is no way any technician can help you with no information. | 14:40 |
| padster | probably some setting like too many peers on or too high an up/down speed that it takes too much bandwidth | 14:40 |
| rahro | I have a problem with network connection,I'm running Xubuntu version 4.6.1? | 14:40 |
| bazhang | rahro, there is no such version | 14:40 |
| pat|nG | hi | 14:40 |
| bazhang | rahro, do you mean backtrack 4 ? | 14:40 |
| stjuuv | can peers affect performance, even if up/down are both around 20kb/s? | 14:40 |
| dsirijus | padster, none of those, speed is down, nor there is a lot of opened or half opened connections | 14:40 |

| ubottu | 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 | 15:29 |

| Alanatiir | Can someone help me with Pidgin? For some reason certain people on my friends list are blocked...they can see when I send messages, but I cannot hear replies. I've tried tinkering with Tools->Privacy to allow everyone to message me at will, but that seems to have no effect. Anyone have any ideas to fix this? Google isn't giving me anything I can work with today...hence why I'm asking here. | 15:31 |

| jdawg | running ubuntu | 15:35 |
| mkanyicy | strouptastic, but you need to install madwifi tools to use ath_pci and the blacklist any ath5k/ath9k | 15:36 |
| reload | top will show you all running processes | 15:36 |
| reload | just type top in a terminal | 15:36 |
| BigC | well 32 bit will work on most all machines, and 64 bit will work only on newer machines | 15:36 |
| strouptastic | mkanyicy: is that in package manager? | 15:36 |
| BluesKaj | istvan, so you tried the nvidia current driver (196.36.24) for your 9600 cards ? | 15:36 |
| mkanyicy | strouptastic, don't think so | 15:36 |
| reload | then press k and enter the process id to kill it if you need to | 15:36 |
| jdawg | top doesn't show "wipe"...but system monitor does | 15:36 |
| `Alt096 | !net | 15:37 |
| mkanyicy | strouptastic, I think you would need to checkout the latest drivers from madwifi subversion | 15:37 |
| jdawg | originally ran "wipe" in terminal | 15:37 |
| mister2 | erdnase: looks like you're missing a dependency by the name of "enet", try installing it in the repos | 15:37 |

| BigC | my_haz: it might be a bad cd, so you might need to reburn it at a slower speed. | 15:39 |
| BluesKaj | istvan, do you have a tty avilable to reinstall or update/upgrade your system ? | 15:39 |
| dr0id | it allows you to use all IMs + IRC , cool aint it ? | 15:39 |

| jrib | !ask | bill_ | 15:43 |
| ubottu | bill_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 15:43 |
| jrib | fladd: works fine for sh scripts | 15:43 |
| fladd | not here, they are just not started | 15:43 |
| fladd | anything I have to do specifically? | 15:43 |
| jrib | fladd: how are you trying to start them? | 15:43 |
| BigC | well it could be a bad file download, cheap media, or something in the linux kernel that doesnt like you hardware, causeing it to have a kernel panic when trying to install | 15:44 |
| jrib | fladd: just give the full path and make sure it's executable | 15:44 |

| mister2 | Hey, how do i change the loaded driver in X? it's using VESA and i want r128. 10.04, thanks for any help | 15:44 |

| my_haz | BigC: this box has a nvidia graphics card, could that be causing the problem? | 15:45 |
| my_haz | BigC: because it has not driver for it? | 15:46 |
| dr0id | guys I want to know my hard disk usage, partitions, etc. how do I know it ? | 15:46 |
| fermulator | df -h -t ufs | 15:46 |
| dr0id | which OS installed on which partitions and so on | 15:46 |
| fermulator | ^^ that command in the terminal gives you clean output | 15:46 |
| fladd | jrib, the script works fine btw when I start it from a shell after login | 15:46 |
| dr0id | df: no file systems processed | 15:46 |
| fermulator | also, if you want graphical representation, use gparted | 15:46 |
| BigC | i might, but it will load the open source driver first, and use that before using the binary one from Nvidia | 15:46 |
| fermulator | df reports no file systems present?? | 15:46 |

| fladd | ./scipt.sh | 15:47 |
| fermulator | dr0id: sorry, my mistake, (mixed up between linux/freebsd) --- try just "df -h" | 15:48 |
| fermulator | it lists everything | 15:48 |
| fladd | here is the script: http://paste.ubuntu.com/488313/ | 15:48 |
| jdawg | ran ps -ef to show processes in terminal I want to show this one "root 6047 1 42 Sep03 ? 06:44:57 wipe /dev/sdb1" | 15:48 |
| jrib | fladd: but that's not what you put in autostart :) | 15:48 |
| BigC | yes, you can try that my_haz. It is simple to use, even though it is text based. | 15:48 |
| my_haz | BigC: yeah fbsd had something similar and i have installed that a few time | 15:48 |
| fladd | no, I put the whole path in there or course | 15:48 |
| my_haz | on different computers | 15:48 |
| binichpwaufkaput | fladd: "chmod +x yourscript.sh", the you can ./yourscript.sh run it or /full/path/yourscript.sh | 15:48 |
| jrib | fladd: almost certainly the issue is your script runs and then gnome overwrites your settings | 15:49 |
| dr0id | fladd: df stands for ? | 15:49 |
| fladd | binichpwaufkaput, that is what I have done already | 15:49 |

| bazhang | adahendra, monitor only? or monitor and shape | 16:04 |
| hansioux | erUSUL: thanks, but programs like pino, pigeon and empathy opens fine, is that because they have their own applet? | 16:04 |
| WinstonSmith | adahendra, for the desktop= | 16:04 |
| WinstonSmith | adahendra, ? | 16:04 |

| bazhang | iceroot, :) | 16:05 |
| adahendra | WinstonSmith: for server, | 16:05 |
| WinstonSmith | adahendra, try conky you can also use remote systems over ssh | 16:05 |

| erUSUL | ppa* | 16:08 |
| sebsebseb | Gaurav: security updates only by defaul useually for the repos | 16:08 |
| WinstonSmith | adahendra, you could try iptraf | 16:09 |
| Bubba_ | I love ubuntu 10.4 the user interface with gnome is easy to navigate | 16:09 |
| sebsebseb | Gaurav: or you can use these silly ppa's for example for later versions of software | 16:09 |

| Dropie | hi :) | 16:09 |
| Bubba_ | Hi Dropie | 16:09 |
| adahendra | WinstonSmith: not yet, ok Thank You, i'll try it | 16:09 |
| Dropie | just installed kunbuntu ;) | 16:09 |
| Get_A_Fix | i prefer gnome to KDE, but it's the users choice | 16:10 |
| WinstonSmith | adahendra, yw | 16:10 |
| Quantum_Ion | Dropie, Why Kunbuntu ? | 16:10 |
| Gaurav | I inserted the daily updates ppa but that didn't work. cause everytime i open the chromium my monitor goes off. | 16:10 |
| Quantum_Ion | Do you prefer Gnome or KDE ? | 16:10 |
| Quantum_Ion | I prefer GNOME | 16:10 |
| Dropie | it looks nice... and i think (hope) it's stable Quantum_Ion | 16:10 |
| Bubba_ | I prefer gnome, but kde has some good programs ie k3b | 16:11 |

| bobthemilkman | I read somewhere that a design goal of 10.10 was to be able to boot in under 10 seconds, is this true? y/n | 16:13 |
| sebsebseb | Bubba_: you can run KDE apps inside (Ubuntu's downstream changed Gnome, with features I am not particulery keen on) Gnome | 16:13 |
| Dropie | i don't know... i only installed xchat and firefox ... do i have cairo ? | 16:13 |
| sebsebseb | bobthemilkman: that was for 10.04 | 16:13 |
| van7hu | Does anyone know how to safety remove an usb 3G | 16:13 |
| van7hu | ? | 16:13 |
| sebsebseb | bobthemilkman: to have it booting in around 10 seconds | 16:13 |
| Quantum_Ion | Dropie, open up a terminal and type which cairo-dock | 16:13 |
| bobthemilkman | sebsebseb: Then why does mine take longer than 10 seconds to boot? :( | 16:13 |
| Dropie | ok Quantum_Ion i try | 16:14 |
| sebsebseb | bobthemilkman: not only yours, loads of peoples | 16:14 |

| sebsebseb | Dropie: Your on Kubuntu, and your using Xchat? | 16:16 |
| sebsebseb | Dropie: Xchat in Kubuntu would be kind of pointless, since rather nice KDE IRC clients such as Konversation, and sure Quassel would be ok as well. | 16:16 |
| handjob | Hi. Does apt store downloaded packages? If so how can I transfer them and use on another ubuntu istalation? | 16:16 |
| iceroot | handjob: /var/cache/apt/ | 16:16 |
| Get_A_Fix | irssi works ok too, if you can get used to it | 16:17 |
| Dropie | i'm used 2 slackware and i liked xchat thats why i installed it | 16:17 |
| sebsebseb | Dropie: and even in Gnome, Konversation is quite a bit better than Xchat really :) | 16:17 |
| Get_A_Fix | i'm used to mIRC, in a win32 env | 16:17 |
| Dropie | irssi i don't know, i tried bitchX | 16:17 |
| Gnea | sebsebseb: that's about as pointless as using k3b in Ubuntu | 16:17 |
| Get_A_Fix | lol, irssi is better than bitchx, but i did like /tog | 16:17 |
| handjob | iceroot: Thank You. Any ideas how to move them on another box and perform system update? | 16:17 |
| sebsebseb | Gnea: no since for example in my expereince Brasero will suck at making data DVD's, but will be ok at making CD's, where as K3B will be fine for both, and realy K3B is way better than Brasero as well | 16:18 |
| iceroot | handjob: copy them with scp to the other machine and install them with dpkg is one way | 16:18 |
| sebsebseb | Gnea: K3B is one of the most popular and loved K3B apps | 16:18 |
| Dropie | ok sebsebseb i try Konversation :) | 16:18 |
| handjob | iceroot: "scp"? | 16:18 |
| erUSUL | !aptoncd | handjob | 16:18 |
| ubottu | handjob: 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 | 16:18 |

| Gnea | sebsebseb: if it's so great, why did you bother telling him that Konversation would be better than Xchat? :) | 16:20 |
| sacarlson | handjob: I mean the packages you want to distribute from a local site or cd/dvd? | 16:20 |

| frxstrem | RCP: no, I use the same time zone (GMT+2) on both | 16:26 |

| sebsebseb | Himanshu: Why do you want the very laetest? | 16:33 |
| sebsebseb | !latest | Himanshu | 16:33 |
| ubottu | Himanshu: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 16:33 |
| Gifford | Or does it function like liveCD? | 16:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | erUSUL, are you sure copying the /var/cache/apt/archives would bring along the APT database? those are just the deb files that are downloaded aren't they? handjob | 16:33 |

| hellboy316 | hey guys can i some one give tell me how to limit bandwith with tc to 10 Mbs of my lan . | 16:35 |
| erUSUL | handjob: if the second machine does not have any inet access you have to use aptocd becouse it will set up the cd/iso to behave as repositorie | 16:35 |
| handjob | ZykoticK9: maybe adding something to sources.list will do the trick. | 16:35 |
| sacarlson | hellboy316: wow that might be a hard one | 16:35 |
| sebsebseb | Himanshu: you will get a later version of Banshee if you upgrade to 10.10, it's not time just yet, got to wait untill October 10th for the final | 16:35 |
| hellboy316 | then how do i limit it other than using ethtool | 16:36 |
| sebsebseb | Himanshu: there are ways you could install a later version yourself into 10.04, but probably not much point | 16:36 |
| ZykoticK9 | handjob, see erUSUL's comment above - if you don't have internet you HAVE to basically use apt-on-cd (something i haven't played with much) | 16:36 |

| handjob | Thanks for help guys. | 16:36 |
| sebsebseb | Himanshu: I used a old version of Banshee for over a year, and probably the one I got now in this other distro, is a bit old as well | 16:37 |
| wildem | mysql -u root gives ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' How can I get past this? | 16:37 |
| smc | I'm know desktop partitioning, but servers need to be different. Exactly what partition should I have? | 16:37 |
| sacarlson | hellboy316: I did have something like this working before but never perfect there are other ways but this is software I used http://www.metamorpher.de/fairnat/ | 16:37 |
| duffydack | handjob, you could, if you had internet elsewhere, run synaptic and choose your packages, then File - Generate download script, and it`ll make a script, then you can download the debs, and burn to cd, then just dpkg -i them on your other pc. | 16:38 |
| ilon | how do i add lukscryptet partitions so that i get prompted for password on statup? | 16:38 |
| duffydack | handjob, or there is the aptoncd method.. | 16:38 |
| sebsebseb | handjob: in fact I ran a lot of 2009 software, for about severn months or somnething in this particular distro, but going back to Ubuntu, think about LTS for a second. you know long term support, the software they have get pretty old, and the version of the distro is still ok, since security updates are still provided. Point is, you don't always need the latest. | 16:38 |
| Get_A_Fix | smc: usually just a seperate /home /usr /tmp etc, but all on the same partition is 'acceptable' | 16:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | handjob, just FYI - but backing up the files from /var/cache/apt/archive (without the lockfile) is really easy/handy if you are installing onto multiple machines. I've never found a good/easy way to get the required apt database (sudo apt-get update) onto offline machines/etc. best of luck, i'm under the impression apt-on-cd is certainly what you want. | 16:38 |
| sebsebseb | Himanshu: messaged wrong person, see above | 16:39 |
| hellboy316 | okies thanks i will check it .. will also i be able to limit internet bandwidth for a particular user with that .. | 16:39 |

| pat|nG | i need help...i got a dual os....and im plannin to use my ubuntu as primary but i got a online game which i would like to play using ubuntu os....but it's not yet supported....im planning to use vbox or vmware....which one is good? thanx | 16:39 |
| handjob | Thanks again for all Your suggesions. See ya gentleman. | 16:40 |
| Get_A_Fix | smc: it still uses the same partitioner, so you have the same options, guided, manual | 16:40 |
| sacarlson | sebsebseb: I agree don't always need the newist. I only get it when I need it. most problem I see are from people that upgrade when they didn't even need it. | 16:40 |
| Himanshu | wrong person? :/ | 16:40 |
| Get_A_Fix | guided allows for changes after the filesystem has been created, with possibly fdisk | 16:40 |
| smc | Get_A_Fix, Ok so it doesn't do like the desktop install and just default to a partition setting | 16:41 |
| erUSUL | pat|nG: playing games on a vm may be not possible. 3d acccel support in VM's is not very good. Tried wine? | 16:41 |
| erUSUL | !wine | pat|nG | 16:41 |
| hellboy316 | thanks sacarlson thats what i was looking for | 16:41 |

| sacarlson | opu: is this for all disks dvd and cd or just that one? | 16:43 |
| opu | no all disks.. | 16:43 |
| opu | the drive is okay, it is working fine in wwindows | 16:43 |
| Get_A_Fix | smc: i doubt it, it sounds fine with either install | 16:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | opu, if you type "eject" in a command line does your cd tray open? | 16:44 |
| opu | yes | 16:44 |
| opu | eject opens my drive | 16:44 |
| andreiutz | hi | 16:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | opu, put in a data disc | 16:44 |
| sacarlson | sebsebseb: the other option I use for new stuf is try it in virtualbox first. | 16:44 |
| andreiutz | hi, the network manager in ubuntu 10.04 doesn't let me configure NIC: when I change from DHCP to Manual(static) the Apply button becomes inactive. what can I do to be able to configure my nic from system>prefferences>network connections ? | 16:44 |
| tacomaster | what is the program called that allows you to make your desktop a 3d cube that you can ctrl+alt+left click to see all the windows | 16:44 |
| erUSUL | opu: try « udisks --mount /dev/dvd » | 16:44 |
| smc | What about LVM, is that important or just do normal partitioning. | 16:44 |
| erUSUL | opu: no sudo needed | 16:44 |
| sebsebseb | sacarlson: well sure can do that with most stuff, but not stuff like Unity or Gnome Shell, for example though | 16:45 |
| IdleOne | !ccsm | tacomaster | 16:45 |

| Himanshu | Thanks friends!!! I am really happy to use irc he he | 16:45 |
| porter1 | andreiutz, you have to set a static IP address and dns servers. | 16:45 |
| sacarlson | sebsebseb: yes but not all things are graphical. but ya compiz and stuff would never fly there. | 16:45 |
| sebsebseb | Himanshu: yeah it can be a pretty great thing, but also rather time consuming, depending on how it is being used | 16:45 |
| andreiutz | porter1, that is what i am trying, only that I need to do it in the GUI | 16:46 |
| sebsebseb | sacarlson: ah yes Compiz another one, good luck vm'ing that :D | 16:46 |
| porter1 | andreiutz, if you've set everything correctly, it should allow you to apply the settings. | 16:46 |
| Gaurav | chanser jd | 16:46 |
| sacarlson | sebsebseb: I guess that's were dual or multi boot comes in to try stuf | 16:46 |
| Get_A_Fix | smc: LVM is fine, not totally necessary, but has advantages - you'd have to google them, i can't remember, and don't know LVM well | 16:47 |
| Get_A_Fix | i never bother with it, when partitioning | 16:47 |
| sebsebseb | sardonyx: or Live CD's, but I am not sure if Unity works with Nivida cards from Live CD, but getting a bit off topic here, | 16:47 |

| radi | can anyone tell me where to get libva-dev package ? | 16:49 |
| radi | i need to compile something with vaapi support | 16:49 |
| Get_A_Fix | radi: did you; apt-cache search libva <- ? | 16:50 |
| andreiutz | porter1, actually the problem is that I connect to internet 2 ways: usb ethernet adapter and huawei wireless modem. I set the usb adapter in /etc/network/interfaces. but sometimes the dns from resolv.conf are not there, only a text that says #Generated by Network Manager | 16:50 |
| jonasfa | would it be possible to use an Android device as a multitouch trackpad? | 16:50 |
| radi | Get_A_Fix: tried aptitude search | 16:50 |
| IdleOne | radi: sudo apt-get install libva-dev | 16:50 |
| andreiutz | porter1, that is why I would want to configure everything graphically | 16:51 |
| radi | IdleOne: nope | 16:51 |
| radi | Get_A_Fix: is libvala-dev the same ? | 16:51 |
| Get_A_Fix | heh, between apt-get and dpkg, you can't go wrong :P | 16:51 |
| IdleOne | radi: this is on lucid? | 16:51 |
| radi | yes | 16:51 |
| Get_A_Fix | i am currently trying to upgrade to lucid, so i'm not sure, radi | 16:52 |
| IdleOne | radi: the package is not available in lucid. packages.ubuntu.com has the deb but for maverick | 16:52 |
| radi | IdleOne: do you think it will work ? | 16:52 |
| IdleOne | radi: you will probably run in to depends issues | 16:52 |
| radi | so, basically i cant get it ? | 16:52 |
| Bubba_ | Anybody try to install Libronix using wine? | 16:53 |
| IdleOne | radi: you can search for libva-dev at packages.ubuntu.com and yes you can download it. it will also list the depndecies for that package | 16:53 |
| radi | ok ill give a shot | 16:53 |
| radi | thanks | 16:53 |
| IdleOne | radi: but I don't know if it will work or break anything in lucid | 16:54 |

| Gnea | Stealth-: sure, but I have to go do things | 17:17 |
| Hounddog | erUSUL thanks, i set up one server and have to setup the next... just wanted to copy what i did hehe | 17:17 |
| Stealth- | Ok gnea, thanks for the help | 17:17 |
| Gnea | Stealth-: give it a good read and come back, I'm sure someone else can help you from there, good luck | 17:17 |
| Stealth- | Ok mate, thanks | 17:17 |
| erUSUL | Stealth-: if ubuntu is recent enough you need the grub2 instructions | 17:18 |
| lmg_ | X-Sleepy-X, not a problem, I am in the middle of nowhere, and I even have removed the WEP protection (only mac filtering) | 17:18 |
| X-Sleepy-X | lmg_: two links for you: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ndiswrapper/index.php?title=Netgear_WG311v3 and http://linuxcompatible.org/Netgear_WG311v3_WLAN_PCI_Card_with_Debian_Linux_Testing_t33271.html | 17:18 |
| Stealth- | ErUSL, I think it is grub 2 | 17:18 |
| Stealth- | grub-install (GNU GRUB 1.98-1ubuntu7) | 17:18 |
| Stealth- | Thats what I get in the terminal | 17:18 |
| erUSUL | !grub2 | Stealth- | 17:18 |
| ubottu | Stealth-: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 17:18 |
| lmg_ | X-Sleepy-X, thank you, I'll check that. | 17:18 |

| andreiutz | Hi, I connect my laptop to the internet in 2 ways: with an usb-ethernet adapter and sometimes with a wireless modem from huawei. I configured the usb-ethernet adapter in /etc/network/interfaces and the dns's in resolv.conf but sometimes when after I use the wireless modem and want to use again the usb-ethernet adapter the resolv.conf file is empty. What should I do ? | 17:19 |
| lmg_ | X-Sleepy-X, ok bye | 17:19 |
| X-Sleepy-X | bye | 17:19 |
| Stealth- | erUSUL, would you mind helping me with the reinstall? | 17:19 |

| erUSUL | Stealth-: if you have specific problems following the instructions i can help | 17:20 |
| Stealth- | Ok mate, thanks | 17:20 |
| Stealth- | erUSUL, I am reading the guide but not getting what it means by this, lemme pastebin the output | 17:21 |
| sacarlson | andreiutz: I write a script that sets up my static stuf. dhclient overwrites the /etc/resolv.conf so my script copies a template for my static over it when it's ran. | 17:21 |

| erUSUL | Stealth-: you want the Reinstalling from LiveCD Section in the wiki page. follow the first method showed there labeled "SIMPLEST - Copy GRUB 2 Files from the LiveCD" | 17:22 |

| jstoone | Hi everyone, can you guys tell me how I can get sun-java6 as default instead of OpenJDK? | 17:25 |
| Stealth- | I mounted it and installed grub again, the terminal said I did | 17:25 |

| TeaRex | erUSUL:Thanks again for your help dude!! | 17:25 |
| janisozaur | jstoone, sudo update-alternatives --config java | 17:25 |
| Guest24088 | ubuntu 10.04 why does something always change when I reboot or start my comp.. I started the sys today and now my cls min max buttons are gone again and my network button is on the left when it was on the right W T H | 17:25 |

| Stealth- | Wish me luck everyone | 17:26 |
| Guest24088 | good luck | 17:26 |
| Stealth- | i am getting 1 or 2 errors but lets see what happens | 17:26 |
| lmg_ | What does that mean when lshw -C network gives network UNCLAIMED | 17:26 |
| erUSUL | TeaRex: no problem | 17:27 |
| jstoone | janisozaur; thanks I'll try that, I've tried to du "sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun" and it did something just don't know how to check if it actually has become my default. | 17:27 |
| handjob | Hi again. I made iso with atpnocd and dropped it onto netless machine. The joy ended when I realized the the other maching don't have aptnocd installed. What to do now in order to perform sysytem update? | 17:28 |
| janisozaur | jstoone, the way i do this is simply remove any other jvms | 17:28 |
| erUSUL | jstoone: i prefer « sudo update-alternatives --config java » | 17:28 |
| CL1FF | <Get_A_Fix> I wasnt able to patch the kernel. tried it in different ways and kept getting errors from the terminal. | 17:28 |
| erUSUL | handjob: you have to add the cdrom as software source. | 17:28 |
| handjob | erUSUL: I mounted iso under /media/cdrom. I need to add that path to sources.list? | 17:29 |
| TeaRex | @jstone IIRC you can just say java -version to see what is your default | 17:29 |
| Get_A_Fix | CL1FF: you type the command from your /usr/src/linux* dir | 17:29 |
| erUSUL | handjob: sudo losetup apt_on_cd_image.iso && sudo apt-cdrom add /dev/loop0 | 17:30 |
| janisozaur | erUSUL, I realise I have a different keyboard layout, but I wonder how do you input « (<<) and » (>>) characters? | 17:30 |
| handjob | erUSUL: I will try that. Thx. | 17:30 |
| jstoone | erUSUL, janisozaur: I did the "--config java" and I've now got the little "*" in front of SunJava (: which means that it's my default right? | 17:30 |
| erUSUL | janisozaur: altgr + z and x | 17:30 |
| erUSUL | jstoone: correct | 17:31 |
| jstoone | erUSUL: Great, thanks (: | 17:31 |
| janisozaur | jstoone, you can type "which java" and "java -version" to verify | 17:31 |

| _Brun0_ | janisozaur: I think I found it: http://www.pastebin.ca/1932874 | 17:36 |
| janisozaur | jstoone, actually, it does | 17:36 |
| _Brun0_ | janisozaur: that's the end of my /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 17:36 |
| CL1FF | Get_A_Fix, Im folowing that but still get the error. I think it may be because my file is just .patch and not .patch.txt like ur example | 17:36 |
| incandenza | jstoone: that's normal. it's not really three different things, just three parts of the java install | 17:36 |
| Get_A_Fix | CL1FF: yes, you're supposed to edit it accordinally | 17:36 |
| === marianne is now known as `marianne` | ||
| Get_A_Fix | i gave it as an example | 17:37 |

| _Brun0_ | janisozaur: according to this: http://www.pastebin.ca/1932874 it is probably my mouse? | 17:37 |
| janisozaur | jstoone, "java -version" tells you what actual java is. since file returned by "which java" is a symlink, you can see where to it points by recursively executing "file `which java`" | 17:37 |
| bummer | Hi. What key should i press in order for the grub menu to appear? It just boots a kernel without asking me anything... | 17:37 |
| edbian | bummer, New grub = shift old grub = escape | 17:38 |
| stealth_ | Help | 17:38 |
| stealth_ | My ubuntu live CD has broke now from trying to install grub | 17:38 |

| erUSUL | handjob: http://www.debianhelp.org/node/10486 | 17:39 |
| stealth_ | sebsebseb, I tried reinstalling grub, it did ot work. Grub now loads from my USB device with a command promt | 17:39 |
| janisozaur | _Brun0_, sorry, I don't know how to interpret this. maybe there is #x or #xorg on freenode, where you could also try | 17:39 |
| stealth_ | I only now have SLAX on a USB stick I can use on my laptop | 17:39 |
| edbian | bummer, You have to press it at the pivotal moment. After the bios post before the Ubuntu logo. The secrect way to accomplish this is to press it a lot. Like 2 times a second ought to do it. | 17:39 |
| stealth_ | sebsebseb: I really need help here,I cant access my laptop | 17:39 |
| erUSUL | _Brun0_: 10.10 issues are handled in #ubuntu+1 | 17:39 |
| jstoone | janisozaur: I must admit I didn't fully understand the "file 'which java'" part :S | 17:39 |
| edbian | bummer, If the system speaker starts beeping at your in a wild and obnoxious manner that means you've pressed it too many times and the system is overloaded with key presses and is ignoring you. | 17:39 |
| itsjustme | where are my buttons.. they are missing again and alt-f2 brings up run box metacity but doesn't open the met window | 17:39 |
| erUSUL | _Brun0_: oops sorry. you said 10.04 ... | 17:39 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: ok I haven't been following your issue, realy, so whats up? | 17:40 |
| janisozaur | jstoone, if you wish, you can read "man file" | 17:40 |
| handjob | erUSUL: Sorry to bether You. I am running out of time. I think that maybe fastes way would be to generate install script of aptoncd install it and the perform the iso install. Can You tell me what software is used for making such a script? | 17:40 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: Why are you doing stuff with Grub or trying to and the Live CD? | 17:40 |
| xangua | itsjustme: metacity --replace > enter | 17:40 |
| stealth_ | sebsebseb, deleted a partition, it messed up grub so I get a error message when I start my computer. I tried reinstalling GRUB2 from my liveCD, but it instead just messed up my liveCD | 17:40 |
| stealth_ | I need help ASAP | 17:40 |
| erUSUL | handjob: i do not know what script you are talking about. the page a linkled has simple instructions | 17:41 |
| CL1FF | Get_A_Fix, yea I know I changed it in the command but it outputs everything as hunks failed. If it helps Im trying to patch this file: http://code.google.com/p/vaio-f11-linux/downloads/detail?name=enable-internal-microphone.patch | 17:41 |
| handjob | erUSUL: OK.thx again. | 17:41 |

| DroidLx | i just tried upgrading from v 8.04 to v 10.04. something wonky came about and now i can only boot into a CLI interface. is there a CLI command to upgrade? | 17:42 |
| stealth_ | It was the one controlling grub X.X | 17:42 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: ok so you have a net book? | 17:42 |
| stealth_ | 7yes sebsebseb | 17:42 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: oh your the one, who had desktop version installed and netbook? | 17:42 |
| erUSUL | DroidLx: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade | 17:42 |
| janisozaur | sebsebseb, stealth_, if the case is only deleted (and not formated) partition, I've had luck with gpart in the past | 17:42 |
| jstoone | janisozaur: Ah, ok (: well some tutorials on the internet says that i have to put a line in the jvm file.. but it doesn't seem to exist any longer? | 17:42 |

| itsjustme | wow... docky required composition to work.. how do I get it back again and HOW do I keep it from changing | 17:43 |
| jstoone | janisozaur: it should be located at /etc/jvm | 17:43 |
| stealth_ | i have a command promt for GRUB, I can type things into it | 17:43 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: yeah Grub is a pain if you delete the wrong /boot | 17:43 |
| stealth_ | But its saying "Unknown FIlesystem" sebsebseb | 17:43 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: of course | 17:43 |
| rag | ubuntu 10.04 internet problem any 1 tere about this problem | 17:43 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: since /boot is gone | 17:43 |

| sebsebseb | stealth_: your getting a command prompt, when? | 17:43 |
| stealth_ | When I try to start computer | 17:43 |
| bummer | Ok... so, neither ESC neither SHIFT worked... there is no file called /boot/grub/menu.lst . How do i change grub (last ubuntu version) in order to tell me to have time to choose | 17:43 |
| bummer | ? | 17:43 |
| janisozaur | jstoone, does anything require /etc/jvm? | 17:43 |
| stealth_ | It is a grub command promt thing | 17:43 |
| fregoMT | anyone know of an automated way to submit info on a web form? | 17:44 |
| erUSUL | bummer: /etc/default/grub | 17:44 |

| fregoMT | janisozaur> I'll take a look - Thanks! | 17:45 |
| itsjustme | xangua now docky requires composition to work.. How do i get it back and Keep it from changing | 17:45 |
| stealth_ | my netbook does not have a CD drive | 17:45 |
| stealth_ | I have a USB stick with ubuntu on it | 17:45 |
| jstoone | janisozaur: no but I was just slightly confused because I just follow the instructions from a-z. | 17:45 |
| xangua | itsjustme: compiz --replace | 17:46 |
| stealth_ | Right | 17:46 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: Grub 2 sucks, the old version of Grub is easier to do stuff with, but for either version when it comes to partitions, I woudn't want to mess with, and I know a work around for your issue, but not really the best thing to do I guess. | 17:46 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: yes a work around, rather than a fix the Grub you got on there. | 17:46 |
| janisozaur | jstoone, consider your java configured. eclipse should work. had it complained about not having /etc/jvm or anything else, come back and state your problem ;) | 17:46 |

| sebsebseb | stealth_: probably easiest thing is to use a Live CD or sure SLAX USB if you like, access data with that, put it on a external hard disk or CD or whatever, then re install Ubuntu, or put on another distro :) | 17:48 |
| stealth_ | I just checked and it works | 17:48 |
| xangua | anthon: #ubuntu-offtopic ¿ | 17:48 |
| janisozaur | !ask | facelessloser | 17:48 |
| ubottu | facelessloser: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 17:48 |
| anthon | thank you | 17:49 |
| edbian | DroidLx, You can try sudo aptitude -f install which will attempt to fix broken packages. It should recognize an unfinished upgrade as well and walk you through it. | 17:49 |
| stealth_ | Ok sebsebseb | 17:49 |
| itsjustme | xangua I started my computer But ok thanks for your time | 17:49 |
| todd_ | #java | 17:49 |
| BluesKaj | DroidLx, unfortunately you can't skip over other releases to get fro 8.04 to 10.04 | 17:49 |
| facelessloser | im having trouble running ttytter is just says that it stops at lines 451 and 247 | 17:49 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: well Unity is just round the corner for 10.10 netbook edition, so may as well have the netbook edition on there, I guess | 17:49 |
| edbian | DroidLx, Make sense? | 17:49 |
| stealth_ | sebsebseb | 17:50 |
| janisozaur | BluesKaj, wasn't it a feature of LTS to upgrade directly into another lts? | 17:50 |
| stealth_ | AM I going to be able to use my computer again normally? | 17:51 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: trying to fix Grub or Grub 2 is a pain, so for newbies, much easier to just re install the OS | 17:51 |
| stealth_ | i am really worried | 17:51 |
| stealth_ | Ok | 17:51 |
| DroidLx | edbian: i just tried that but nothing seems to have changed. just errors. | 17:51 |
| edbian | DroidLx, What kind of errors are you getting? | 17:51 |
| stealth_ | if I could fix my old ubuntu live CD i would be sorted D= | 17:51 |
| edbian | DroidLx, This may be obvious but in a healthy system sudo aptitude -f install will exit after doing nothing. | 17:52 |
| alkisg | stealth_: if you can't boot with an ubuntu live cd, how did you install in the first place? | 17:52 |
| === AnxiousNut is now known as PsyByte | ||
| stealth_ | alkisg, I did but I messed the ubuntu live CD up just now installing grub | 17:52 |
| denny | my system has recently (last week or two) stopped recognising DVDs when I put them in. Logs are full of "VFS: busy inodes on changed media or resized disk sr0" - is there a known solution for this? | 17:52 |
| plouffe | I'm trying to install ubuntu or xubuntu on an old laptop, but the mouse doesn't get recognized. The mouse works on windows though. What could I do to make it work on (x)ubuntu live cd? | 17:52 |
| alkisg | stealth_: ok, but if it's a live cd, you didn't write anything to it, right? you can boot from it again... | 17:52 |
| stealth_ | No alkisg, it gives me a GRUB menu from the live USB | 17:53 |
| stealth_ | alkisg when I boot live CD, I get the following. "Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the firest word, tab loists possible command completions. ANyebre e,se tab lists possable device or file complitations | 17:53 |
| === PsyByte is now known as AnxiousNut | ||
| stealth_ | sorry for typos trying to type blind | 17:53 |
| alkisg | stealth_: are you using a usb stick, on which you have written grub? | 17:53 |
| stealth_ | yes by accident I think | 17:53 |
| alkisg | stealth_: or a live cd, which CANNOT be messed up? | 17:53 |
| stealth_ | USB stick | 17:54 |
| alkisg | stealth_: ok, you need to create a new one then | 17:54 |
| stealth_ | Ok | 17:54 |
| stealth_ | I am doing it now alkisg | 17:54 |
| DroidLx | edbian: hold on, i'm on my droid. typing out the errors | 17:54 |
| DarkTatka | hi, not exactly ubuntu question - I want to automate opening tabs in gnome-terminal. I want to create new gnome-terminal window if not present and then add tabs to it with particular title and run command in them. How would I do about it? | 17:54 |
| edbian | DroidLx, :) | 17:54 |
| todd__ | I want to get to the #java room on this XChat... the channels list just hangs on me... HELP!? | 17:54 |
| erUSUL | todd__: define "hangs on me" | 17:55 |
| stealth_ | alkisg, so if i install ubuntu again, will GRUB magically come back? | 17:55 |
| stealth_ | please say it will d= | 17:55 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: yes | 17:55 |
| alkisg | stealth_: yes, but you don't need to, you can just fix grub | 17:55 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: it will overwrite the MBR for the Grub that is now messed up since no /boot | 17:55 |
| facelessloser | need help with ttytter it wont load says it stops at lines 451 and 247 | 17:55 |
| erUSUL | !register | todd__ | 17:55 |

| BluesKaj | janisozaur, agreed yes it's supposed to work, but unfortunately not in all cases ...the server editions seem to be ok | 17:56 |
| alkisg | stealth_: boot from a live ubuntu cd and I'll help you correctly follow that grub2 wiki page. | 17:56 |
| DroidLx | edbian: at the moment when i do "sudo aptitude -f install" no errors are occurring, but it also says nothing will be installed, upgraded or removed. so it seems i'm stuck? rebooting brings me back here. | 17:56 |
| edbian | stealth_, Part of the install process is to install grub. I can almost guarantee that a reinstall is not necessary and I don't even know what your problem is :) | 17:56 |
| Mba7eth | guys.... i have a wireless card installed, can i know brand name and model while running ? | 17:56 |
| Luija1006 | Please people I need your help my CD/DVD reader of my laptop is not working, this started like 2 months ago when I installed the new version of kubuntu. Please help me I need the reader urgently | 17:56 |
| === todd__ is now known as musheno | ||
| sebsebseb | edbian: actsaully a re install might be kind of neassrey, since they deleted the /boot that Grub was using | 17:56 |
| stealth_ | Alkisg, I just thought, lLast time I installed Ubuntu, it was desktop. I installled netbook ediiton BEFORE i installed desktop, but netbook edition still controlled grub, so yeah... | 17:56 |
| edbian | DroidLx, Alright. It boots into a cli I assume. What if you run "startx" or "sudo gdm" | 17:56 |
| stealth_ | What if it does not work | 17:56 |

| Mba7eth | erUSUL, thanks :) | 17:57 |
| X-2 | what is it with these spammers here o.O | 17:57 |
| musheno | ok I "registered" (was todd_) now should the channels list work? | 17:57 |
| denny | Luija1006: look in the file /var/log/messages and see if you have messages like that | 17:57 |
| sebsebseb | X-2: not everyone likes Ubuntu or Freenode | 17:57 |
| sebsebseb | X-2: that knows about it | 17:57 |
| erUSUL | musheno: you want to search chatrooms ? | 17:57 |
| guilhermeblanco | huh? someone pinged me? | 17:57 |
| edbian | sebsebseb, I see. (To be technically accurate you could probably copy the files from a live CD or some other Ubuntu install and change the config) That would probably open up some other can of worms though. | 17:57 |
| X-2 | sebsebseb: seems like it yeah | 17:57 |
| guilhermeblanco | ah... spammers | 17:57 |
| ShrekLappy | guilhermeblanco, its a spammer | 17:57 |
| stealth_ | Alkisg, I just thought, lLast time I installed Ubuntu, it was desktop. I installled netbook ediiton BEFORE i installed desktop, but netbook edition still controlled grub, so yeah (Not sure if you saw the message before spam) | 17:57 |
| guilhermeblanco | =( | 17:57 |
| erUSUL | musheno: use alis service « /msg alis list *name* » | 17:58 |
| alkisg | stealth_: was there some question there? I didn't understand... | 17:58 |
| musheno | erUSUL: yes... I want to find a java based chat | 17:58 |
| erUSUL | musheno: /join #java | 17:58 |
| alkisg | stealth_: boot from a new live usb stick, and we'll help you from there. | 17:58 |
| grv | musheno, #java is invite only | 17:58 |
| stealth_ | ok alkisg | 17:58 |
| sebsebseb | edbian: or Ubuntu could be re installed onto a small partition, and then get rdi of everything except for /boot | 17:58 |
| musheno | grv: is there one that is not invite only? | 17:59 |
| Luija1006 | denny: i dont know where are those files | 17:59 |
| xangua | grv: no, you need to register | 17:59 |
| stealth_ | wait | 17:59 |
| sebsebseb | edbian: and even have the partition re sized, and stealth_ could boot like that | 17:59 |
| edbian | sebsebseb, clever! :) | 17:59 |
| grv | musheno, lemme see | 17:59 |
| sebsebseb | edbian: thats what I did in 2007 | 17:59 |
| stealth_ | I have no USB sticks spare sebsebseb. The only one I have is the one with GRUB installed on it that i broke | 17:59 |
| sebsebseb | edbian: when an install messed up and yeah | 17:59 |
| Pyppe | Hi. ran apt-get upgrade yesterday. after boot I got an error message "cryptsetup: lvm device name (/dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxx) does not begin with /dev/mapper/". how to proceed? :O | 17:59 |
| edbian | stealth_, Or you could just reinstall proper and be done with it. Be aware though you will lose all your data if you don't copy it somewhere | 17:59 |
| stealth_ | WHat do you been edbian? | 18:00 |
| janisozaur | !register | musheno | 18:00 |

| Luija1006 | Please people I need your help my CD/DVD reader of my laptop is not working, this started like 2 months ago when I installed the new version of kubuntu. Please help me I need the reader urgently | 18:00 |
| sebsebseb | edbian: the difference though was that the old Grub back in 2007 messed up after deleting a NTFS partition, where as stealth_ 's issue is, because he deleted the partition that had the /boot that controlled Grub 2, since he had netbook edition and desktop installed | 18:00 |
| DroidLx | edbian: a pm told me to sudo install ubuntu-desktop. it's still running. i'll report back soon as it's done. | 18:00 |
| edbian | stealth_, Reinstall the operating system. But if you have stuff saved you will loose it unless you back it up somewhere. I don't know what's confusing you. | 18:00 |
| musheno | janisozaur: I already did that... shut up already :-) | 18:00 |
| alkisg | Luija1006: and you think this is not a hardware problem? E.g. can you boot from a live cd with it? | 18:00 |
| denny | musheno: you haven't identified | 18:00 |
| Luija1006 | alkisg: yes | 18:00 |
| stealth_ | Edbian or Sebsebseb, I have no spare memory sticks to install ubuntu live CD on, the last one I had spare i installed GRUB on by accident | 18:00 |
| musheno | denny: OK... so? | 18:01 |
| denny | in fact | 18:01 |
| Luija1006 | alkisg: I just recently booted the live CD to test it, no problems | 18:01 |
| edbian | DroidLx, That's good advice. You need that if it isn't installed :) | 18:01 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: got aother computer? | 18:01 |
| denny | musheno: you haven't registered your nick | 18:01 |
| denny | I just checked | 18:01 |
| janisozaur | musheno, oh. anyway, I can join java and it's not invite only. have you identified yourself with nickserv? | 18:01 |
| stealth_ | on it now sebsebseb | 18:01 |
| alkisg | Luija1006: if you're using kubuntu, why not ask in #kubuntu? | 18:01 |
| edbian | stealth_, Do you have a working computer (windows or otherwise) ? | 18:01 |
| grv | stealth_, u can reuse the usb stick since its screwed already | 18:01 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: make a bootable USB stick or Live CD on that computer | 18:01 |
| Luija1006 | alkisg: no one there....:/ | 18:01 |
| stealth_ | Sebsebseb, IU am saying I dont have a spare USB stick | 18:01 |
| musheno | janisozaur: OK... how does one register? | 18:01 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: I think unetbootin has a version for Windows, for the USB stick by the way | 18:01 |
| stealth_ | The last one I had I installed GRUB on it | 18:01 |
| denny | musheno is not a registered nick. Once you register your nick, then you need to verify it, then you need to identify. | 18:01 |
| edbian | stealth_, use the one with grub on it. | 18:01 |
| alkisg | Luija1006: sorry, no idea about kubuntu... | 18:01 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: yeah use the one with Grub on it, or make a Live CD | 18:02 |
| stealth_ | edbian, is it safe to plug into my computer? | 18:02 |
| denny | musheno: follow the instructions from the person you just told to shut up. | 18:02 |
| janisozaur | musheno, register or identify (read: login) | 18:02 |
| edbian | stealth_, yeah | 18:02 |
| stealth_ | ok | 18:02 |
| denny | http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration | 18:02 |
| sebsebseb | edbian: uh I thought you meant install onto the one with Grub on it? | 18:02 |
| janisozaur | musheno, in "server" channel type "/msg nickserv identify <password>" | 18:02 |
| denny | janisozaur: the nick isn't registered | 18:02 |
| janisozaur | musheno, you can also ask nickserv for help | 18:02 |
| edbian | sebsebseb, "Install Ubuntu onto the one" (what one? usb stick or computer?) | 18:02 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: anyway edbian can help you with this, I think i'll let him take over now | 18:02 |
| stealth_ | ok sebsebseb | 18:03 |
| edbian | sebsebseb, I didn't mean to muscle you out! | 18:03 |
| stealth_ | thanks for the help | 18:03 |
| sebsebseb | edbian: I know | 18:03 |
| RCP | MIRC Users: http://pastebin.com/LeQcVfg8 to block the spamers when they mass nick spam | 18:03 |
| edbian | sebsebseb, :) | 18:03 |
| sebsebseb | edbian: we'll whatever, lets try and help him | 18:03 |
| janisozaur | denny, if he wanted to identify without having his nick registered wouldn't nickserv return some helpful information? | 18:03 |
| edbian | stealth_, Is there any data on the target computer that you want to keep? | 18:03 |
| sebsebseb | edbian: and I meant make the Grub USB stick, into an Ubuntu install USB stick | 18:03 |
| stealth_ | On my netbook edbian, yes | 18:03 |
| facelessloser | could someone give me a hand with ttytter is wont load here is what is spits out http://paste.ubuntu.com/488363/ | 18:04 |
| sebsebseb | edbian: or maybe, can boot up from his Grub USB stick, go into his install, and then sort out Grub from there, but you will have to help him with that in that case | 18:04 |
| edbian | stealth_, a lot of data? | 18:04 |
| stealth_ | Yes edbian | 18:04 |
| musheno | ok it says >NickServ< VERIFY REGISTER musheno... is that it? | 18:04 |
| edbian | stealth_, If we reinstall the operating system all of that data will be lost. | 18:04 |
| stealth_ | I thought I could make a new partition from another ubuntu live cd..? | 18:04 |
| edbian | stealth_, You could do that. | 18:04 |
| stealth_ | Great. | 18:04 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: yes you can | 18:05 |
| stealth_ | SO basically I have 2 copys of ubuntu desktop | 18:05 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: you could do the work around I did in 2007 for a similar issue, and with the old Grub | 18:05 |
| stealth_ | How sebsebseb | 18:05 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: only thing with that is | 18:05 |
| edbian | stealth_, That's a good plan. We'll install to a new partition, (make sure grub is reinstalled as well so the netbook boots) and use the new OS to get the data from the old broken one. We'll move everything to the new partition. Then reboot using the Ubuntu USB stick and resize all the partitions so that they're proper. | 18:05 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: it might have changed now, but probably not, is that it will upgrade the Grub in your netbook edition install probably | 18:05 |
| edbian | stealth_, Step 1. Install Ubuntu onto a USB drive. | 18:05 |
| stealth_ | Ok mate, sounds good | 18:05 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: rather than the one on the other partition on /boot | 18:06 |
| stealth_ | Edbian, I opened the USb stick I installed GRUB on. Its already got a Ubuntu install on it but it does not work | 18:06 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: and if you have a seperate /boot partition, then you want that one to upgrade, since that is the one that would be responsible for the part of Grub on the MBR | 18:06 |
| Luija1006 | Please people I need your help my CD/DVD reader of my laptop is not working, this started like 2 months ago when I installed the new version of kubuntu. Please help me I need the reader urgently | 18:06 |
| stealth_ | ok | 18:06 |
| edbian | stealth_, wipe it. Start over and make it a new ubuntu live usb | 18:06 |
| stealth_ | ok ed | 18:06 |
| edbian | sebsebseb, Let's just install grub fresh from the live USB. Who cares what other broken half configured grubs there are laying around? | 18:07 |
| musheno | Thanks! that was very unclear I needed to do that... somone may want to add some documentation to xchat so you know you should do that when trying to use xchat | 18:07 |
| musheno | :-) | 18:07 |
| josip | Hello, I can not change the gtk theme using the gnome editor. It will change the icons, but not the theme | 18:07 |
| musheno | thanks | 18:07 |
| josip | the panels do not get customized either | 18:07 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: so its better to get, your data realy, and then just clean install | 18:07 |
| stealth_ | On my USB stick seb> | 18:07 |
| stealth_ | ? | 18:07 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: onto your computer | 18:07 |
| brontoeee | what could be the problems if i connect more than one home-grade router in a row? | 18:08 |
| stealth_ | Sebsebseb, I have Windows7 on here that I kinda need | 18:08 |
| stealth_ | ANd cant reinstall | 18:08 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: however can make the USB stick into Ubuntu install media, and then install from that | 18:08 |
| edbian | stealth_, It almost definitely won't fit on the USB stick because Ubuntu will already be on it. | 18:08 |
| edbian | stealth_, We won't touch windows 7 | 18:08 |
| stealth_ | Ok | 18:08 |
| stealth_ | edbian, I gotta go for dinner in about 2 mins | 18:08 |
| stealth_ | i will be 20 mins or so | 18:09 |
| edbian | stealth_, k | 18:09 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: Windows 7 will boot up as well, once Grub 2 has been re installed, with your clean install of Ubuntu netbook edition, onto your computer, that can be installed from your USB stick, if its made into Ubuntu install media | 18:09 |
| stealth_ | Incase you are not here, what do you suggest I do? | 18:09 |
| sebsebseb | !unetbottin | stealth_ | 18:09 |
| stealth_ | ok seb | 18:09 |
| sebsebseb | edbian: unetbottin has a Windows version right? | 18:09 |
| bobthemilkman | I set some bad options in cairo-dock, and now it refuses to run. I tried sudo apt-get purge cairo-dock, but I still can't get it to work right. | 18:09 |
| edbian | sebsebseb, yes and mac | 18:09 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: make Ubuntu install media, using unetbottin, after you have installed it into Windows | 18:10 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: then do a clean install of Ubuntu using that | 18:10 |
| stealth_ | so sebsebseb and edbian, will I be able to use my computer tonight properly with any luck? | 18:10 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: after you have got your data off the computer | 18:10 |
| stealth_ | And sebsebseb, I can use universal USB installer right? | 18:10 |
| edbian | stealth_, If all goes according to plan. | 18:10 |
| stealth_ | So I install Ubuntu Desktop again, and with any luck it installs Grub for me? | 18:10 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: no | 18:10 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: you got a netbook, so should re install the netbook version really | 18:11 |
| stealth_ | I dont like it that much sebsebseb | 18:11 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: you don't ned the desktop version as well | 18:11 |
| stealth_ | I installed netbook edition, did not like it, installed desktop and was happy with it | 18:11 |
| sebsebseb | stealth_: well it will soon be imrpoved by default, since Unity, but got to wait for 10.10 first | 18:11 |
| stealth_ | I tried deleting the netbook edition | 18:11 |
| stealth_ | And here we are | 18:11 |

| Get_A_Fix | and what desktop, if any | 18:53 |
| deepu | i have gforce nvidia card | 18:53 |
| pieter | little problem here: I replaced a atmega8 by a atmega48 and changed the registers and fuses... but now my one second delay is more like half a second | 18:53 |
| TeaRex | deepu: and on whether you want a GUI or rather very wide format support in a command line player, etc. etc. | 18:53 |
| deepu | GENOME | 18:53 |
| WinstonSmith | vlc runs everywhere (nearly) | 18:53 |
| VCoolio | deepu: the one that suits you most; for video, choose between mplayer, gstreamer or xine frontend, or vlc; for audio it depends how much and what features you want | 18:53 |
| deepu | GUI,wide formats | 18:53 |
| pieter | sorry wrong tab | 18:53 |
| TeaRex | deepu: I mean which file formats | 18:53 |
| pat|nG | TeaRex: im done | 18:53 |
| deepu | mkv,avi,mp4 | 18:54 |
| WinstonSmith | thats why vlc = no worries about file formats | 18:54 |
| BrianE | MashPotato: http://www.burn-blue.com/image/view/H1FunWBc/TopOutput.png | 18:54 |
| pat|nG | but i dont see anything works | 18:54 |
| pat|nG | like i typed sudo updatedb | 18:54 |
| pat|nG | then it brings me back to the same director pating@pating:~/downloads$ | 18:54 |
| pat|nG | nothing change | 18:55 |
| pat|nG | i dunno | 18:55 |
| pat|nG | did i do the right thing there? | 18:55 |
| MashPotato | BrianE: indeed no memory-expensive apps there.. do you have the laptop edition of ubuntu? | 18:55 |
| TeaRex | patnG that's normal | 18:55 |
| TeaRex | now try "locate java" | 18:55 |
| BrianE | MashPotato: It's 10.04 standard | 18:55 |
| TeaRex | updatedb just rebuilds the locat database | 18:55 |
| TeaRex | =locate | 18:55 |
| pat|nG | oh i got lots of directory here | 18:55 |
| WinstonSmith | pat|nG, updatedb updates your locate database it does not give any output | 18:55 |
| pat|nG | starts /var/lib/dpkg/.... | 18:55 |
| pat|nG | which one is the right one then? | 18:56 |
| TeaRex | give us any lines that have /bin/ or /usr/bin at the start | 18:56 |
| TeaRex | are there any? | 18:56 |
| pat|nG | i got usr/lib | 18:57 |
| === DrManhattan is now known as MrPoopyPants | ||
| pat|nG | nothing starts with /bin or /usr/bin | 18:57 |
| TeaRex | nothing at all with /bin/ in it even at a later point? | 18:57 |
| === MrPoopyPants is now known as DrManhattan | ||
| pat|nG | nope | 18:58 |
| pat|nG | nothing | 18:58 |
| TeaRex | I mean do you have any lines with "some stuff.../bin/...more stuff" where stuff is anything? | 18:58 |
| pat|nG | just /usr/lib | 18:58 |
| pat|nG | nope | 18:58 |
| TeaRex | OK then you don't have a java executable in an accessible place | 18:58 |
| pat|nG | i can't see /bin/ from the command locate java | 18:58 |
| TeaRex | you will need some other package then | 18:59 |
| pat|nG | but i just installed the java from synaptics | 18:59 |
| pat|nG | :( | 18:59 |
| TeaRex | install all the sun-java packages you can find in synaptics | 18:59 |
| pat|nG | omg...this is confusing | 18:59 |
| TeaRex | there will be more than one | 18:59 |
| UndiFineD | BrianE, did you try powertop ? | 18:59 |
| pat|nG | i just did mate | 18:59 |
| BrianE | pat|nG: It's not confusing, you're making it so ;O | 18:59 |
| pat|nG | i install all | 18:59 |
| TeaRex | pat|nG: wait a moment OK? | 19:00 |
| pat|nG | BrianE: mate sorry but i'm not as good as u bare with it ;) | 19:00 |
| geirha | pat|nG: Does ''type -P java'' output anything? | 19:00 |
| BrianE | pat|nG: It's not an ego-trip, I'm just trying to save you from storming off thinking Ubuntu is convoluted and hard-to-use | 19:00 |

| geirha | pat|nG, TeaRex: No, ''sudo update-java-alternatives --set java-6-sun'' | 19:05 |

| mikeliss | Anybody know how to restore compiz settings from a backup of /home? | 19:06 |
| geirha | pat|nG: And ''type -P java'' still doesn't output anything? | 19:07 |
| BrianE | UndiFineD: http://www.burn-blue.com/image/view/Qf97Rnxg/powertop.png | 19:07 |
| Jamesgamer_linux | mikeliss: Not sure if I'm anywhere near correct, but couldn't you just copy the compiz folder from the backup to the current? | 19:07 |
| erUSUL | mikeliss: ~/.config/compiz/ ? | 19:07 |
| TeaRex | pat|nG another attempt.... "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/java -version" | 19:08 |
| soadkombucha | Is there a drive for Toshiba ACPI that's up to date that works on the L500D-ST2543? I've been doing research and the only ACPI drivers I can find for Toshiba are outdated and do not work on the current BIOS that Toshiba laptops use | 19:08 |
| TeaRex | To see if its installed at all | 19:08 |
| mikeliss | Jamesgamer_linux, erUSUL: There's only one file in there, and it's not a config file... | 19:08 |
| BrianE | pat|nG: Try TeaRex' last command - that's where it should have installed to | 19:08 |
| pat|nG | i'll just have to type it? | 19:09 |
| TeaRex | yes | 19:09 |
| BrianE | Yes | 19:09 |
| TeaRex | the point is to find out if it's there at all | 19:09 |
| BrianE | You could copy and paste it, though, without the quotes | 19:09 |
| erUSUL | mikeliss: maybe in #compiz | 19:09 |
| Jamesgamer_linux | Hey everyone! Quick question: I recently deleted and recreated the swap partition for my Ubuntu installation. How do I make ubuntu realize the new location? Is it as easy as changing the UUID in /etc/fstab ? | 19:09 |
| erUSUL | Jamesgamer_linux: yes | 19:09 |
| TeaRex | normally when everything is configured right just "java -version" should work, but that's not the case with your system it seems | 19:09 |
| erUSUL | !uuid | Jamesgamer_linux | 19:09 |
| ubottu | Jamesgamer_linux: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 19:09 |
| Jamesgamer_linux | erUSUL: Cool, thanks! | 19:10 |
| pat|nG | reply: java version 1.6.0_20 | 19:10 |
| Jamesgamer_linux | erUSUL: I got it from "disk utility", is that ok? | 19:10 |
| Jamesgamer_linux | the new UUID i mean | 19:10 |
| UndiFineD | sorry BrianE had to put my daughter to bed | 19:10 |
| * TeaRex slaps pat|nG over the head with a large trout | 19:10 | |
| TeaRex | Congratulations | 19:10 |
| BrianE | pat|nG: Try closing your terminal and opening a new one, then "java -version"... does that give the same output? | 19:10 |
| BrianE | UndiFineD: No worries :) | 19:10 |
| BrianE | Jamesgamer_linux: Yes, it's the same UUID | 19:11 |
| TeaRex | You are under my control... you will Do what BrianE says..... | 19:11 |
| erUSUL | Jamesgamer_linux: sure. but a double check wont hurt anybody :P | 19:11 |
| pat|nG | same output mates | 19:11 |
| UndiFineD | BrianE, top power consumption is thus audio | 19:11 |
| BrianE | Then that's you sorted, right? | 19:11 |
| geirha | So it was just a wrong hash, as I suspected. | 19:11 |
| BrianE | UndiFineD: I'm not going without audio, heh | 19:11 |
| Jamesgamer_linux | BrianE, erUSUL : THANKS! problem solved, I think. | 19:11 |

| UndiFineD | BrianE, may you can use some of the tips it is givving | 19:12 |

| pat|nG | i'm just tryin to install mini web browser from opera | 19:13 |
| pat|nG | but first i need to install microemulator to be installed and i got .jar and .jad files | 19:13 |
| pat|nG | i dunno how to open up those files | 19:13 |
| pat|nG | it says i need a java to run those two | 19:13 |
| === the_rogue_smiler is now known as lap_dragon | ||
| BrianE | mikeliss: Try copying ~/.gconf/apps/compiz to your new home directory, then logging out & in again... That should do it ;) | 19:13 |
| TeaRex | pat|nG now in your new terminal go to the folder with the jar file | 19:13 |
| TeaRex | then type "java -jar <name of jar file>" | 19:14 |
| BrianE | ^ | 19:14 |
| UndiFineD | BrianE, 600 signals per 5 secs is a bit much | 19:14 |
| UndiFineD | BrianE, maybe when you tweak hz it reduces that | 19:14 |
| BrianE | UndiFineD: I was moving the mouse at the time of the screenshot, that would likely have increased the interrupts? | 19:14 |
| pat|nG | im in root directory and i got a reply :: unable to access jarfile microemulator.jar | 19:15 |
| TeaRex | not in root directory dood!! in the directory that has the jar file you downloaded!! | 19:15 |

| TeaRex | pat|nG: "unzip -l microemulator-2.0.4.zip" | 19:19 |

| wildc4rd | evening all, just a quickie, added a second external monitor to my netbook, and now all the menus have 'vanished' (running netbook remix, 9.10) | 19:24 |
| Adian | my parent's shuttle system recently started turning off randomly for no particular reason. It was running the older LTS (hoary?). | 19:25 |
| Adian | I finally narrowed it down to the nvidia proprietary driver. Using vesa or fbdev doesn't cause the problem but severely limits me in resolution. I tried upgrading to the most recent LTS and the nvidia driver has the exact same effect. | 19:25 |
| erUSUL | Adian: maybe the card overheats ? | 19:25 |
| Adian | I've done a bit of searching, but I haven't found any bug reports of machines actually shutting off | 19:25 |
| karts | I am having trouble ssh to my work computer with ubuntu 10.04. I just installed cisco vpn 4.8.02. If I connect through ethernet, the connections drops within 2 minutes and if I connect through wifi, the response time is very slow.. | 19:26 |
| Adian | well, I kind of doubt it. this nvidia card is onboard | 19:26 |
| pat|nG | paste.ubuntu.com/488402/ | 19:26 |
| Adian | I've tried turning off a number of acceleration options in X config, but there's no change | 19:26 |
| TeaRex | Ok, now do "unzip microemulator-2.0.4" without the -l | 19:26 |
| TeaRex | as BrianE wrote | 19:26 |
| Adian | so I guess I would be fine if I could get better resolution with vesa, nv, or fbdev, but I haven't had luck yet | 19:27 |
| BrianE | Hmm, seems I won't get a fix for my battery life this time; meh | 19:27 |
| pat|nG | done | 19:27 |
| pat|nG | then? type wat BrianE did? the cd thing? | 19:27 |
| BrianE | pat|nG: Along with the "cd microemulator-2.0.4"? | 19:27 |
| pat|nG | oh | 19:27 |
| BrianE | If so, try running "java -jar microemulator.jar" now | 19:27 |
| pat|nG | i'm here in the directory of microemulator | 19:28 |
| pat|nG | what's next? | 19:28 |

| Adian | my video chipset is: nVidia Corporation C68 [GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a] (rev a2) | 19:28 |

| ubottu | nouveau is an open-source nvidia driver included by default in 10.04. Currently 3D rendering is unsupported. More information can be found in http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ - See also !nvidia | 19:28 |
| BrianE | Adian: It does seem a little unlikely that such a big bug would persist through so many releases of the driver... | 19:29 |
| pat|nG | oh i got it | 19:29 |
| BrianE | Which would indicate it's a hardware problem, rather than the driver specifically | 19:29 |
| pat|nG | it's here already | 19:29 |

| sebsebseb | Stealth__: could do this in the channel really, but yeah ok | 19:32 |
| Stealth__ | Ok mate | 19:32 |
| Adian | anyone have any ideas for getting decent resolution with a different driver? | 19:32 |
| Adian | i don't need acceleration, but it's wasteful to buy a new card | 19:32 |
| Stealth__ | tell me when its open sebsebseb | 19:32 |
| === itsux2bu2theNthD is now known as itsux2bu | ||
| BrianE | Adian: You -could- try waiting to see if the computer will stall without the driver, that would give you an idea of whether it's the card or not | 19:34 |
| Adian | BrianE: yeah, that's the computer I'm on right now. | 19:35 |
| evan0 | how do you restart mysql? | 19:35 |
| BrianE | evan0: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart | 19:35 |
| evan0 | it says the folder cannot be found | 19:36 |
| BrianE | What, /etc/init.d? | 19:36 |
| Adian | briane: like I said, it would be perfectly fine if I could get this up to at least 1024x768 without the nvidia driver, then I can see if it's stable. as is, it's horrible on my aging parents' eyes | 19:36 |
| BrianE | Or is the 'mysql' script saying that? | 19:36 |
| evan0 | yeat | 19:36 |
| evan0 | *yeah | 19:36 |
| evan0 | the first | 19:36 |
| pat|nG | i got it working and installed but i can't see the mini browser of opera :( | 19:36 |

| BrianE | evan0: If /etc/init.d doesn't exist, you likely aren't running Ubuntu | 19:36 |
| BrianE | Or, you're chrooted in some way | 19:37 |
| evan0 | umm i am... | 19:37 |
| evan0 | lol | 19:37 |
| evan0 | lemme check again | 19:37 |
| Dj_Deutschi | Hello all | 19:37 |
| BrianE | Try "ls /etc/init.d", evan0 | 19:37 |
| pat|nG | paste.ubuntu.com/488406/ | 19:37 |
| Adian | BrianE: heh, no, you're thinking of font sizes, which I have increased | 19:37 |
| Dj_Deutschi | does somewone knows if there is an API or service for searching .deb packages descriptions | 19:37 |
| evan0 | it shows up | 19:37 |
| BrianE | pat|nG: Could you include the "http://" of those links? Makes it easier to click | 19:38 |
| BrianE | evan0: "mysql" does? | 19:38 |
| Dj_Deutschi | I use it for a irc bot, and till now the bot was using apt-cache since it was on Ubuntu machine, but now I moved it to opensuse server ... and there is no apt-cache | 19:38 |
| mbroeker | Highlight: Crankygeek :) | 19:38 |
| Adian | as much as Debian/Ubuntu people love to say "oh well you're using nvidia, sorry can't support it" there sure isn't good support for using generic drivers even without acceleration... | 19:39 |
| Adian | (speaking from past experience) | 19:39 |
| BrianE | Dj_Deutschi: There likely aren't any APIs out there for doing it, no | 19:39 |
| BrianE | You could write a script or something to check the repos yourself | 19:39 |
| Adian | And I'm happily buying ATI cards now, but seriously, this is still a big gap | 19:39 |
| evan0 | thats weird | 19:39 |

| BrianE | The numbers / etc in the middle won't be the same, though | 19:44 |
| evan0 | nope | 19:44 |
| evan0 | im getting some thing like | 19:44 |
| BrianE | evan0: Try "sudo service mysql restart" | 19:45 |
| evan0 | evan 6346 0.0 0.0 3324 792 pts/2 S+ 14.43 0.00 grep | 19:45 |

| BrianE | Try "sudo service mysql restart" | 19:45 |
| evan0 | k im waiting for it to respond | 19:45 |
| BrianE | Should get something like "mysql start/running, process 3685" | 19:46 |
| BrianE | The 3685 won't be the same, thoguh | 19:46 |
| duffydack | pgrep -l 'mysqld' | 19:46 |
| evan0 | it hasn't responded | 19:47 |
| BrianE | duffydack: I have a habit of using "ps aux | grep", heh | 19:47 |
| evan0 | it just says there | 19:47 |
| evan0 | *stays | 19:47 |
| duffydack | I used to :) | 19:47 |
| evan0 | i could always restart the computer | 19:47 |
| BrianE | evan0: Usually not needed, but it would be faster in this case than trying to debug it | 19:48 |
| BrianE | =\ | 19:48 |
| BrianE | Probably a pid file stuck somewhere | 19:48 |
| evan0 | ill restart | 19:48 |
| evan0 | then try your command again | 19:48 |
| BrianE | Try "pgrep -l mysqld" when you get back | 19:48 |

| BrianE | ewook: You're using strace and don't konw how to pipe output to a file? :O | 19:50 |
| BrianE | Odd, but try "strace [options] > filename" | 19:50 |
| Legendario | does anyone know where the mplayerplug-in packege is? | 19:50 |
| jrib | Legendario: in apt, with every other package :) | 19:50 |
| BrianE | If you're calling it programatically, or can't use a proper shell for some reason, try looking up the manuals for strace and see if it has a flag for outputting to a file | 19:51 |
| duffydack | ThomasB2k, heh, would of been quicker to copy the files elsewhere and repartition/format | 19:51 |

| Legendario | jrib, but gecko-mediaplayer is another media player different than mplayer, isn't it? | 19:55 |
| BrianE | gidna: Try running "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin", then restarting your browsaer | 19:55 |
| BrianE | Restart your browser, too | 19:55 |
| jrib | Legendario: not sure, but it is by the same author at least | 19:55 |

| CoolAzura | BrianE: hmm, somehow i typed and it didn't take all of it, "it was holding the icon" | 20:02 |
| trism | CoolAzura: rhythmbox icon is now part of indicator applet, so add that back to your panel | 20:02 |

| Datz | edbian: true, thanks | 20:24 |
| jrib | evan0: because visiting mcodonalds fixes mysql problems? I don't get it :P | 20:25 |
| edbian | snowmansmartie, Add the "notification area" to that panel. | 20:25 |
| gidna | guntbert, it works now.. thanks | 20:26 |
| Datz | heh. security update was just for wget :P | 20:26 |
| snowmansmartie | edbian, thanks, another dumb question, where do I find the notification area? | 20:26 |
| evan0 | jrib: problems come from being hungry you know | 20:26 |
| edbian | snowmansmartie, Right click the panel. Add to panel -> notification area is in that list. | 20:26 |

| evan0 | thats my response | 20:30 |
| snowmansmartie | edbian, thank you for that, just havnt got the envelope icon in there? | 20:30 |
| evan0 | i tried to run the command it tells me but it just stays there | 20:30 |
| jrib | DrManhattan: this channel is for support. If that's really your question, try #ubuntu-offtopic | 20:30 |
| edbian | gidna, ctrl + alt + F1 then shift + pageup or pagedown to scroll and ctrl + alt + F7 to get back. | 20:30 |
| edbian | snowmansmartie, Do you have evolution installed? | 20:30 |
| snowmansmartie | yeah I do | 20:30 |

| evan0 | i cant even start mysql it just sits there with a blinking cursor | 20:31 |
| edbian | snowmansmartie, That panel applet really isn't supposed to be started and stopped. It's a bug that not all the icons are there that are supposed to be. I suspect that rebooting will bring them all up though. | 20:32 |
| snowmansmartie | I have tried a reboot (cold), and nothing. | 20:32 |
| YankDownUnder | DrManhattan, Mate - Cinelerra is a tough interface to get used to, however, both it and LIVES work - just a matter of getting used to 'em - there's also a channel called #openvideo for them - and if you're really interested, there is also Openshot Video Editor for quickie editing that's quite nice, and their channel is #openshot. S'all good. | 20:32 |
| DrManhattan | thanks! | 20:33 |
| edbian | snowmansmartie, Mmm, that's odd. I'm not sure! | 20:33 |

| === kyngdom is now known as Kyng|UF | ||
| evan0 | guntbert: i thought uninstalled it | 20:47 |
| ipatrol | I was installing Lucid on a VBox when I noticed that the mouse pointer was integrated even during install, is this some new thing? | 20:47 |
| RF_ | hi | 20:47 |
| evan0 | guntbert: sudo apt-get remove mysql-server | 20:47 |
| mneptok | evan0: did you stop the running mysql process before purging/removing? | 20:47 |
| evan0 | yes | 20:47 |
| Geister | I found a bug in Ubuntu but don't feel like creating a launchpad account to report it. What else can I do? I really think Ubuntu should have anonymous bug reports available. | 20:47 |
| mneptok | evan0: how did you do that? what command? | 20:47 |
| ipatrol | Geister: what is it? | 20:47 |
| evan0 | um, sudo service mysql stop | 20:47 |
| RF_ | anyone here have any experience with Marvell Armada 510 | 20:48 |
| Linden940 | hey I have 2 hard drives and one has 10.04 and the other has the 10.10 beta...how can i make it so that i can pick witch one I want to start? I have been messing with this for a wile and starting 2 lose alot of hair lol | 20:48 |
| ipatrol | Geister: we don't allow anonymous bug reports because your repeated input is essential in solving any bug | 20:48 |
| delinquentme | im having issues w flash on chrome for ubuntu | 20:48 |
| smw | RF_, ask a question. If anyone knows they will probably respond | 20:48 |
| delinquentme | anyone have any suggestions?? | 20:48 |
| ipatrol | delinquentme: use gnash instead? | 20:49 |
| guntbert | Geister: noone will file a bug on your behalf - please do it yourself | 20:49 |
| ipatrol | !flash | 20:49 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 20:49 |
| Linden940 | anyone got a clue? | 20:49 |
| gaborn | hello :) I am looking for some tool(gui would be nice :)) that search through given directory and returns files that have duplicity there(at any subdirectory..) Thx for advice | 20:49 |
| ipatrol | !bugs | 20:49 |
| ubottu | If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots | 20:49 |
| smw | ipatrol, don't recommend gnash. That is just cruel :-P | 20:49 |
| kaddi | heh | 20:49 |
| jrib | gaborn: fdupes (not gui) | 20:49 |
| ipatrol | smw: why? | 20:49 |
| ipatrol | !gnash | 20:49 |
| Geister | ipatrol: I agree with that, being a developer myself it does help to have repeated input, but sometimes it's nice to just report a bug quickly and not have to go through a long process. | 20:49 |
| ubottu | An open source flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ | 20:49 |
| alkisg | Linden940: didn't grub2 pick up both of them automatically? You're seeing only one now? | 20:49 |
| smw | ipatrol, it does not work. I have tried it. | 20:49 |
| delinquentme | im not trying to switch browsers ... gnash is a flash substitute? | 20:50 |
| evan0 | so no ideas? | 20:50 |
| ipatrol | Geister: send something to the mailing list then | 20:50 |
| gaborn | jrib: thx .. and what about gui ?:) | 20:50 |
| ipatrol | delinquentme: yes, but it's still beta | 20:50 |
| Linden940 | alkisg, grub2 will only boot into the one drive....it wont see the other...but if i unplug the 10.04 then it will boot into the 10.10 | 20:50 |
| Realcoolguy9 | delinquentme, I have a netbook that while it has a reasonable atom processor the display adapter is very very weak, and just doesn't like flash regardless of OS, os performance is poor across OS. However you seem to indicate that you had it working better under another setup. | 20:50 |
| Geister | ipatrol: Good idea, thanks. | 20:50 |
| smw | delinquentme, gnash is a free (as in speech) substitute. IT does not really work... | 20:50 |
| jsemar | hey guys, I've just updated ubuntu to 10.04 on a vmware image, i think i used the exisiting grub conf file, anyway, now I am getting drive at uuid=22421xxx does not exist or is not ready when trying to bood, fdisk -l and df -h both show /dev/sda1 is available and mounted on | 20:50 |
| jsemar | / | 20:50 |
| jsemar | bood=boot | 20:50 |
| alkisg | Linden940: and if you run "update-grub", it doesn't see the OS in the other drive? | 20:51 |
| RF_ | ok, im running ubuntu on a Marvell Armada development board and everything is running OK, however the board has a GC600 graphics chip and I do not understand how to get it to get hardware accelleration to run. Do I need to install something ? | 20:51 |

| ipatrol | since when did Ubuntu support VM pointer integration right out of the proverbial box? | 20:51 |
| Linden940 | did not update the grub..did not think of that...whats the code line for that? | 20:51 |
| Linden940 | <<4got | 20:51 |
| smw | delinquentme, what exactly is wrong with flash on your computer? | 20:51 |

| craigbass1976 | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=833863&page=2 I've been following along with that post, among other things, and can'tread this fat partition still. It's a USB external drive that I removed from the box, plugged in directly (sata) and dd'd over to a new drive (so that I'd be messing with a copy, not the original) and I'm stuck | 20:51 |
| alkisg | Linden940: sudo update-grub | 20:52 |
| Geister | guntbert: I know it is bad to reference this, but Windows has an automatic crash reporting tool that is completely anonymous. I know Ubuntu has one, but it requires a launchpad account. For this, I know of many crash reports that never made it to the devs. | 20:52 |
| evan0 | guntbert mneptok: any of you two have an idea? | 20:52 |
| delinquentme | on chrome it says missing plugin | 20:52 |

| evan0 | mneptok: the did the first script and ran into the same problem again | 20:53 |
| delinquentme | smw .. use sudoapt-get or package manager? | 20:53 |
| smw | delinquentme, in a terminal, you can type sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 20:53 |
| guntbert | Geister: discussing the policy of the bug squad is not really on topic here :-) | 20:53 |
| mneptok | evan0: huh? | 20:53 |
| smw | delinquentme, either one works | 20:53 |
| delinquentme | kk | 20:53 |
| evan0 | it just hangs mid way through the command | 20:53 |
| smw | are the floodbots at war? lol | 20:53 |
| YankDownUnder | delinquentme, If Flash is simply black, and Chrome is not playing Flash - have you checked to see if something may have installed or changed your RGBA settings? I know that some themes that are installed WILL do so - along with some of the "extra bits" to Nautilus Elementary....just wondering mate. | 20:53 |
| Geister | guntbert: Sorry about this. I actually wanted to know if there was a way to report bugs anonymously in a quick manner. Guess not. | 20:53 |
| vwyodapink | I am on 10.04 and my laptop fan does not seem to run how do I go about fixing it | 20:53 |

| Geister | ipatrol: I definitely agree with you. Filing my bug report at the moment. | 20:54 |

| delinquentme | whats the difference between gdebi and the application manager?? | 21:04 |
| delinquentme | "ubuntu software manager" | 21:04 |
| smw | delinquentme, gdebi installs debs. | 21:04 |
| erUSUL | delinquentme: gdebi is a gui to install individual deb files you have previously download | 21:04 |
| smw | delinquentme, the ubuntu software manager downloads and installs from repos | 21:04 |
| erUSUL | delinquentme: managind dependencies | 21:04 |
| delinquentme | Ahh ok so the software manager is OFFICIAL ubuntu software .. and the gdebi will install anything thats a debi file | 21:05 |
| evan0 | mneptok: how long should this take? | 21:05 |
| delinquentme | smw, im reinstalling it real fast | 21:05 |
| lxndr | i just upgraded to lucid lynx and now the gui is failing to load, also, the computer fails to recognize the internet, so future aptitude attempts all fail. how can i get at least the cli to recognize the ethernet cable attached? | 21:05 |

| smw | delinquentme, the software manager can install from unofficial locations too. But you need to tell it where to look (by adding repos) | 21:06 |

| ipatrol | michaelxq: that's not even a valid URI | 21:08 |

| RF_ | anyone working with Lucid 2.6.32.9-dove-5.3.2 | 21:08 |
| delinquentme | smw, reinstalled chrome .. and flashplugin-nonfree is still installed... do they default to being configured to work w each other?? | 21:08 |

| ipatrol | guntbert: well then file a bug | 21:10 |
| smw | delinquentme, it should be installed | 21:10 |
| lxndr | how can i configure lucid to let me connect to the internet when it will not boot to the gui? i need access to the packages. please help. | 21:10 |
| smw | delinquentme, if it is still not working on firefox. Something else is wrong | 21:10 |

| YankDownUnder | delinquentme, Search in your package manager for anything related to RGBA and see if it's installed. If it is, remove it. Logout, and try Chrome and FF again. | 21:11 |
| guntbert | lxndr: you said you are on a wired network? | 21:11 |
| lxndr | ossfm there is a cable plugged in. ifconfig gives me a permission denied. | 21:11 |

| lxndr | guntbert i am on a wired network | 21:11 |

| ossfm | lxndr: put sudo in front of ifconfig | 21:11 |
| michaelxq | gunbert, ??????????????? | 21:12 |
| smw | delinquentme, maybe you should press the enable button? | 21:12 |
| smw | delinquentme, also, what does it say is the path? | 21:12 |
| smw | delinquentme, or actually, I want the description | 21:12 |

Question: if I set up a proxy that sits behind my isp router how would I run a service on that "proxy address" I have all traffic routed back to my internal machine, but I dont want to use my public addresss is there away I can use a proxy address and have all the connections going there forwarded over to my internal box? | 21:13 |
| delinquentme | shockwave flash ... shockwave flash 9.0 r999 disable | 21:14 |
| guntbert | michaelxq: you get that line ( something wicked....) when apt is unable to find the IP address of ppa.launchpad.net (the http part is just nonsense) | 21:14 |

| smw | delinquentme, disable? | 21:14 |
| doxy2 | hi | 21:14 |
| delinquentme | yeah .. its the option TO disable | 21:15 |
| delinquentme | it toggles it | 21:15 |
| smw | delinquentme, wait, what is the path (under description) | 21:15 |
| RF_ | doxy2, hi | 21:15 |
| guntbert | b3ntH00ti3: how is that an ubuntu support question? | 21:15 |
| doxy2 | seems like an obvious question but can't find an answer for it anywhere: which package provides wmv support for chromium? | 21:15 |
| paddy_ | mp3 is to lame as mp4 is to *****? | 21:15 |
| delinquentme | /usr/lib/swfdec-mozilla/libswfdecmozilla.so | 21:15 |
| guntbert | !ot | paddy_ | 21:16 |
| ubottu | paddy_: #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! | 21:16 |
| smw | delinquentme, there is your problem! | 21:16 |
| b3ntH00ti3 | guntbert: Yeah I guess your right... | 21:16 |
| delinquentme | why is it mozilla >_< | 21:16 |
| b3ntH00ti3 | : - ( sorry.... | 21:16 |
| smw | delinquentme, you need to uninstall swfdec | 21:16 |
| paddy_ | guntbert i dont see how that is offtopic | 21:16 |
| RF_ | doxy2, you need ffmpeg or gstreamer | 21:16 |
| b3ntH00ti3 | Thanks again.. | 21:16 |
| smw | delinquentme, I believe that is sudo apt-get remove swfdec | 21:16 |
| delinquentme | sudo uninstall swfdec ?? | 21:16 |
| guntbert | paddy_: how is that an ubuntu support question? | 21:16 |
| ossfm | lxndr: try "sudo dhclient". maybe that will get you an IP address. | 21:17 |
| doxy2 | RF_: i think i got both installed - there a generic browser module. mozilla plugins shouldn't work | 21:17 |
| doxy2 | ? | 21:17 |
| delinquentme | meh. couldnt find package swfdec??? | 21:17 |
| paddy_ | guntbert i am trying to read/write mp4 files on a ubutnu box. | 21:17 |
| lxndr | my lucid upgrade borked my computer. the gui fails, leaving it to boot into the command line interdace. attempts to fix this are failing because it does not recognize the active ethernet cable oalready attached. how do i fix this? | 21:17 |
| bastidrazor | paddy_: use mplayer or vlc | 21:17 |
| lxndr | ossfm that worked, thanks. any suggestions as to how to fix the install? | 21:18 |
| smw | delinquentme, you do not need 3 questions marks. Also please use my name in every message. Anyways, sudo apt-cache search swfdec | 21:18 |
| delinquentme | smw .. can i remove this in the app manager? | 21:18 |
| RF_ | doxy2, what do you have installed Totem? | 21:18 |
| smw | delinquentme, why not? | 21:18 |
| guntbert | paddy_: ah, you could have asked "how can I read/write mp4 files?" (sorry, I don't know the answer) | 21:18 |
| smw | delinquentme, just search for swfdec | 21:18 |
| ossfm | lxndr: try "sudo apt-get update" and then "sudo apt-get upgrade". Maybe that will install the packages you need. | 21:18 |
| paddy_ | bastidrasor I am doing it with gtkpod and i dont know what encoder it is trying to use but i know it cant find it. | 21:19 |
| delinquentme | smw, heres the readout http://pastie.org/1138442 | 21:19 |
| ilumi | the 10.10 beta comes with some kind of flash preinstalled, which doesnt work with youtube, anyone know what it is and how to remove it? | 21:19 |
| smw | delinquentme, sudo apt-get remove swfdec-mozilla | 21:20 |
| paddy_ | bastidrazor it uses lame for mp3 | 21:20 |
| lxndr | ossfm errors are happening. moving off my droid and back to the puter w/ irssi | 21:20 |
| smw | delinquentme, then restart chrome | 21:20 |

| ubottu | ilumi: Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 2010 - Maverick is Not released and Not Stable, discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 21:20 |
| RF_ | doxy2, if you downlaod a wmv onto you hardrive and play it back with Totem then you willknow youhave the correct codecs installed | 21:20 |
| delinquentme | smw.. check. shes All go ... youtube vids and all ... now will firefox still play video? | 21:21 |
| aeon-ltd | delinquentme: well only one way to know | 21:21 |
| delinquentme | hah yeah | 21:21 |
| delinquentme | its all good | 21:22 |
| doxy2 | RF_: but that doesn't automatically mean that chromium should be able to play it :) ? | 21:22 |
| smw | delinquentme, now it should start working in firefox too. But as aeon-ltd said, you should know better than me | 21:22 |
| delinquentme | thanks smw | 21:22 |
| doxy2 | RF_: anyway, i'm trying to stream it, maybe i should hav mentioned that | 21:22 |
| Edub05 | hello, is it possible to install ubuntu server over a slackware install remotely while remoted in to said slackware install via ssh? | 21:22 |
| paddy_ | edub05 i seccond that | 21:23 |
| doxy2 | RF_: ah, nvm, it's the page that's not working | 21:23 |
| doxy2 | thanks for the help | 21:23 |
| smw | Edub05, in theory. But it is not every worth the effort | 21:23 |
| RF_ | ok | 21:23 |
| smw | Edub05, you need to be an expert to begin with. And it is just far too difficult to make sense | 21:23 |
| smw | Edub05, it is a fun project though... | 21:24 |
| Edub05 | kinda what I figured.. might help me down the road to becoming an expert tho eh? | 21:24 |
| aeon-ltd | Edub05: why not just install the server tools you need on the slackware install? | 21:24 |
| Lxndr | ossfm, are you still here? I'm on my irssi. | 21:24 |
| smw | Edub05, If this is for fun... I would do it on an ec2 machine so I could reset the state to a normal install. | 21:25 |
| ossfm | lxndr: still here. | 21:25 |
| Lxndr | more generally: I tried to upgrade to 10.04 from 8.04. Sadly, there seems to be errors, as now my gui fails to load, and I am stuck on a command line interface. Sudo apt-get upgrade gets errors (not sure how to report those, without a GUI to help me get to various websites). What can I do? | 21:26 |
| Edub05 | aeon-ltd: suppose I could.. just an old slackware box I got sittin at my parents house I want to migrate to ubuntu | 21:26 |
| Lxndr | ossfm: "Processing was halted because there were too many errors." | 21:26 |
| [thor] | Lxndr: sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 21:26 |
| aeon-ltd | Edub05: oh ok, sounds hard trying to remotely install a different distro, out of my league :) | 21:27 |
| [thor] | Lxndr: then --> sudo apt-get upgrade | pastebinit | 21:27 |
| [thor] | and paste the url here | 21:27 |
| Lxndr | thor: installing pastebinit gives an error: "Processing was halted because there were too many errors." | 21:28 |
| [thor] | :( sorry pal | 21:28 |
| guitar-maniac | hi | 21:29 |
| erUSUL | Lxndr: sudo apt-get install -f ? | 21:29 |
| dkg | Hi guys. I've told told that I have to get a GNU, but I can't seem to find out what it is. Can you help me find one? | 21:29 |
| guitar-maniac | rhythmbox shuts itself down every once in a while..? shuold i post the terminal output here? | 21:29 |
| Lxndr | erUSUL: "Processing was halted because there were too many errors" with "sudo apt-get install -f" | 21:30 |
| jk_ | Lxndr, you say the gui fails to load. specifically what happens? I've had various similar problems with Lucid and most of them seem to revolve around the changes to the X window system it includes, so getting X to work properly might cure your main problem... | 21:30 |
| jef91 | Howdy All, I have a laptop with an ATI express 200m series card in it. According to this - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver - it should be supported by the FOSS driver. But when I try to boot the live CD I get no X server. Any idea why? | 21:30 |
| ossfm | lxndr: try "sudo aptitude full-upgrade". | 21:30 |
| [thor] | dkg: GNU is Not Unix | 21:30 |
| Lxndr | jk_: I get the splash screen. Following that, it dumps to the CLI. | 21:30 |
| dkg | [thor]: wat | 21:30 |
| Lxndr | ossfm: Trying that now. | 21:30 |
| Lxndr | ossfm: Same issue. "...too many errors." | 21:31 |
| [thor] | !gnu | dkg | 21:31 |
| ubottu | dkg: G(NU's) N(ot) U(nix). A project that aimed to develop a complete operating system of Free Software, which Ubuntu is based on. See http://gnu.org | 21:31 |
| jk_ | Lxndr, if you type "startx" at the CLI, what happens? | 21:31 |
| aeon-ltd | dkg: gnu? gnu license? dude they're licenses for Free Open Source Software or FOSS | 21:31 |
| Lxndr | jk_: I get a black screen with a mouse pointer that will move, but nothing else. | 21:31 |
| aeon-ltd | Lxndr: yeah thats X without a DE or WM | 21:31 |

| dkg | [thor]: I asked what it was, not what it isn't. | 21:32 |
| [thor] | dkg: follow ubottu's link | 21:32 |
| Lxndr | aeon-ltd: So how do I get to a usable state? | 21:32 |
| aeon-ltd | guitar-maniac: try updating first or reinstalling the package | 21:32 |
| ossfm | lxndr: that's a tough one. | 21:32 |
| guitar-maniac | ok, i try that. | 21:32 |
| jk_ | Lxndr, try "sudo X -configure" from the CLI and see if that does anything. The response you get to startx indicates that it's almost certainly an X configuration problem at heart. | 21:33 |
| aeon-ltd | Lxndr: install a Desktop Environment like gnome/kde/lxde or a Window Manager like openbox/fluxbox | 21:33 |
| === zz_sailerboy is now known as sailerboy | ||
| Lxndr | jk_: sudo X -configure gives no errors, but without access to pastebin I don't think I can report much more? | 21:34 |
| mister2 | Anybody know where i can get the vendor name and model of IBM's A22m's monitor? | 21:35 |
| Lxndr | aeon-ltd: Attempting to install a desktop environment gives me a long scroll that ends with "Processing was ended because there are too many errors." That's what I'm trying to solve. | 21:35 |
| ReAn | does ifconfig typically list the selected gateway for an interface? | 21:35 |
| prodigel | hi all. How about that skype screen sharing for linux. Is it available for ubuntu or not ?:) | 21:35 |
| Lxndr | ossfm: I agree. Any ideas as to where I should go from here? | 21:36 |
| aeon-ltd | Lxndr: really?, try sudo apt-get update then try again | 21:36 |
| erUSUL | ReAn: no; for that use. "ip route" or "route -a" | 21:36 |
| ReAn | thanks erUSUL | 21:37 |
| ossfm | lxndr: from the ubuntu lucid upgrade help page: "sudo apt-get install update-manager-core" | 21:37 |
| Lxndr | aeon-ltd: Tried it, and still no dice. "...too many errors." | 21:37 |
| ReAn | not i just gotta figure out why my ubuntu machine can't talk to ca.archive.ubuntu.com | 21:37 |
| ReAn | :( | 21:37 |
| Lxndr | ossfm: Doing that now. | 21:37 |
| paddy_ | i am trying to get gtkpod to convert to m4a but i am getting exit status 5, what is the problem | 21:37 |
| Lxndr | ossfm: "...too many errors" | 21:37 |
| jk_ | Lxndr, take a look at /var/log/xorg.0.log|grep EE and copy/paste any output one line per post to here so as not to flood. that may give us some hints. | 21:37 |
| aeon-ltd | Lxndr: what do the errors say?, don't attempt to type it all just noticable points | 21:38 |
| erUSUL | !ipod > paddy_ | 21:38 |
| ubottu | paddy_, please see my private message | 21:38 |
| paddy_ | erusul not relevent | 21:38 |
| ossfm | lxndr: try "sudo do-release-upgrade" | 21:39 |
| Lxndr | aeon-ltd: it includes a long list of programs where errors occurred. including "gsfonts" "ghostscript" "cups" and "nautilus" | 21:39 |
| Phr3ak_ | hi again ;-) | 21:40 |
| Lxndr | ossfm: "no new release found" | 21:40 |
| ReAn | So i've got an older version of ubuntu (probably like 6.04 or so, 100% terminal based machine) and it used to be able to download packages, now it just hangs while connecting to the archive server, which I've confirmed connects (the machine has a gateway, and can resolve the dns) but this is my apt-get output: http://pastebin.com/B08TmvAe | 21:40 |
| ReAn | Am i missing something here? | 21:40 |
| Phr3ak_ | maybe, who knows .. | 21:40 |
| xangua | ReAn: please use a distro with support | 21:41 |
| aeon-ltd | Lxndr: does it state the source of the error? | 21:41 |
| YankDownUnder | ReAn, Is it an LTS version (long term support)? | 21:41 |
| ReAn | xangua: it's the minimal cd + whatever i needed | 21:41 |
| ReAn | i dont recall as i built it a couple years ago | 21:41 |
| guntbert | !eol | ReAn | 21:42 |
| ubottu | ReAn: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 21:42 |
| ReAn | if there's an easy way to upgrade it to the newest distro id do it | 21:42 |
| xangua | ReAn: you just said 6.04 or somethins, that doesn't have support anymore | 21:42 |
| ReAn | could be 6.10 | 21:42 |
| ReAn | i dunno | 21:42 |
| ReAn | there a way to check? | 21:42 |
| ossfm | lxndr: how much time to you have? you may have to download the install cd and start over. i got hosed in the middle of an install once and had to do that. | 21:42 |
| mister2 | Hey, xorg config question, my display is fine in "safe display mode" but if i try to boot it normal it's diced. It's a rage 128 on an A22m IBM think pad, can i add anything to my xorg.conf or anything to change the dicedness? | 21:42 |
| ReAn | oh shoot | 21:42 |
| guntbert | ReAn: type lsb_release -a | 21:43 |
| ReAn | sorry guys | 21:43 |
| ReAn | it's 9.04 | 21:43 |
| ReAn | my bad | 21:43 |
| ReAn | like i said... i built it a couple years ago | 21:43 |
| ReAn | >_< | 21:43 |
| jk_ | ReAn, in a terminal, type "lsb_release -a" to get the exact release you are running. | 21:43 |
| ReAn | sorry, it's 9.04, and i can't get it to talk to the archive server | 21:45 |
| guntbert | !upgrade | ReAn | 21:45 |
| ubottu | ReAn: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 21:45 |
| ReAn | thankyou | 21:45 |
| guntbert | ReAn: 9.04 -> 9.10 -> 10.04 | 21:45 |
| viatech | Can anyone help me getting VNC remote setup for Gnome so I can access my VPS from a Windows Machine? | 21:45 |
| jk_ | mister2, you can try "sudo X -configure" to get an xorg.conf.new file created in your home directory, and then copy it into /etc/X11 (without the ".new" on the end). I had to do this to get an ancient Rage 128 card properly recognized here... | 21:46 |
| guntbert | ReAn: but 9.04 is still supported, look into your software sources/updates | 21:46 |
| mister2 | jk_ i've done that before, however i still end up getting a diced display | 21:47 |
| seanp2k | hello, i am having a problem with cpufreqd: i cannot manually adjust my clock rate | 21:47 |

| mister2 | jk_ so i ran a test with the new conf and all i got was a black screen, thoughts? | 21:50 |
| paddy_ | what encoder does gtkpod use for m4a? | 21:51 |
| guntbert | manpages-dev glibc-doc_ | 21:51 |
| An_Ony_Moose | is it possible to configure gdm to allow a remote X login connection in 10.04? I think it used to be enabled by default in earlier versions. | 21:51 |
| jk_ | mister2, type "grep EE /var/log/xorg.0.log" and tell us what shows up. Use pastebinit to show is the whole log file if you can (it's likely to be pretty big). | 21:52 |
| Lxndr | ossfm, aeon-ltd, jk_: I got disconnected. I think it was a network hicckup, not a symptom. Did I miss any messages? | 21:53 |
| jk_ | mister2, type "grep EE /var/log/xorg.0.log" and tell us what shows up. Use pastebinit to show is the whole log file if you can (it's likely to be pretty big). | 21:53 |
| jk_ | *us | 21:54 |
| aeon-ltd | Lxndr: just one message, does it state the source of the error? | 21:55 |
| dumuzid | so, | 21:55 |
| Lxndr | "sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg had an error code." | 21:56 |
| dumuzid | I would like to mirror a site that has a directory structure accessible via url queries... | 21:56 |
| bastidrazor | paddy_: Selected audio codec: [faad] afm: faad (FAAD AAC (MPEG-2/MPEG-4 Audio)) is what i get when playing an mp4 in mplayer | 21:56 |
| dumuzid | like dir=/this&file=that.zip | 21:56 |
| jk_ | Lxndr, type "grep EE /var/log/xorg.0.log" and tell us what shows up. Use pastebinit to show is the whole log file if you can (it's likely to be pretty big). | 21:56 |
| Lxndr | aeon-ltd: "Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code(1)" | 21:56 |
| bastidrazor | paddy_: Opening audio decoder: [faad] AAC (MPEG2/4 Advanced Audio Coding) | 21:56 |
| dumuzid | how would I get wget to just save the file as /this/that.zip? | 21:56 |
| Lxndr | jk_: "no such file or directory" . also, pastebinit gives the same errors as upgrading when I attempt to install it. | 21:57 |
| erUSUL | dumuzid: wget -O /this/that.zip urlhere | 21:58 |
| jk_ | Lxndr, right -- i'm in two conversations about X problems and copied the message over to you. if there's no log file, try startx again, use ctrl-c to get out of the black screen, then try the grep EE again. That should pick out just the error lines from the log. | 21:59 |
| dumuzid | erUSUL, thanks... that's almost it... is there a way to do some form of parameter replacement so wget could spider the whole directory? Or am I gonna need to use some perl magics? | 21:59 |
| Lxndr | TO EVERYONE: I upgraded from ubuntu 8.04 to ubuntu 10.04. Once this happened, after the splash-screen I am immediately dumped into a command line interface. Attempts to run 'startx' leave me with a black screen. Attempts to complete the upgrade, or to install many programs involves a dpkg error, stating "Process was stopped because there were too many errors." How can I proceed to fix this? | 21:59 |
| erUSUL | dumuzid: you want to extract the path from the url ? | 21:59 |
| Seveas | Lxndr, dpkg --configure -a | 22:00 |
| erUSUL | dumuzid: i do not think wget can do anything like that | 22:00 |
| Seveas | and apt-get -f install | 22:00 |
| Seveas | repeat those two until they give no output | 22:00 |
| dumuzid | erUSUL, kk, thanks anyway... | 22:01 |
| jk_ | l | 22:01 |
| Seveas | m | 22:01 |
| jk_ | Looks like Lxndr got disconnected again... | 22:01 |
| Seveas | yeah | 22:02 |
| Seveas | Lxndr, dpkg --configure -a; apt-get -f install | 22:03 |
| Seveas | repeat those two commands until they give no output | 22:03 |
| Lxndr | jk_, aeon-ltd: I just tried what jk_ proposed, typed 'startx'. Unfortunately, control-x failed to remove me, and I had to reboot. | 22:03 |
| jk_ | Lxndr, try what Seveas suggested (he may need to post it again for you) | 22:04 |
| Lxndr | seveas: I get "unknown option -o" | 22:04 |
| Lxndr | Seveas: when trying to run dpk --configure -a | 22:04 |
| Lxndr | dpkg, even | 22:04 |
| Seveas | Lxndr, I never said -o :) | 22:04 |
| JPeterson | anyone got "protocol error" in the terminal? | 22:04 |
| Seveas | you probably did -configure and not --configure | 22:04 |
| An_Ony_Moose | Can I connect to an X server running on a separate machine using XDMCP? | 22:04 |
| craigbass1976 | This is driving me crazy... I can see files using testdisk, but can't get the partition to mount. Is there any way to copy files out of testdisk and then I'll just wipe the drive after? | 22:04 |
| Lxndr | Seveas: Ah, yes. I did -config, not --config. | 22:04 |
| Lxndr | Seveas: Doing it the RIGHT way I get the same list of errors. | 22:05 |
| erUSUL | craigbass1976: testdisk is designed to copy files it recovers to a filesystemof your choosing afaik. check it homepage there is a detailed step by step tutorial | 22:05 |

| pat|nG | how to delete grub? | 22:06 |
| Seveas | Lxndr, did you try apt-get -f install | 22:06 |
| jk_ | Lxndr, you may need to download the Lucid iso, burn a disk, and re-install. should be finished in three or four hours, with luck. | 22:06 |
| Lxndr | Seveas: I did. It also is giving the same error. | 22:06 |

| erUSUL | CkhiKuzad: do « free -m » that will show how much swap you have | 22:09 |
| aeon-ltd | andreiutz: wicd? | 22:09 |
| Lxndr | Seveas: If I only had access to the web, I could probably decipher my username/password. Sadly, lynx also fails to install. | 22:09 |
| craigbass1976 | erUSUL, are you pretty familiar with it? Do I really have to reboot when I write something? | 22:09 |
| guntbert | pat|nG: use your favourite package manager to remove old kernels - so that you will hhave fewer lines in the grub menu | 22:09 |

| deathnight114 | fff | 22:16 |
| deathnight114 | -_- | 22:16 |
| deathnight114 | Well I think I may have fixed it just now though by messing with the compiz settings, but i'm not sure... | 22:17 |
| deathnight114 | i guess I'll just see | 22:17 |
| jk_ | Lxndr, you probably need a sudo in front of that rm command... | 22:17 |
| Lxndr | jk_: I figured that out. Sudo was put in front of everything Seveas was telling me to do. (Seveas, hope that was alright) | 22:17 |
| Seveas | Lxndr, yeah, I was actually assuming a rootshell (sudo -i) :) | 22:17 |
| YankDownUnder | deathnight114, Yeah mate - double check your Compiz settings - and also make sure that Emerald is set to decorate your windows...you can also check in #compiz for further information... | 22:18 |

| JPeterson | YankDownUnder: didn't find any timeout setting, it's probably hardcoded | 22:22 |
| mobasher | not running any..i think it's the dd-wrt access issue...the ip lands at dd-wrt router page | 22:23 |
| Seveas | Lxndr, it can take a while. Basically your upgrade wasn't finished and it is now finishing the upgrade | 22:23 |
| YankDownUnder | JPeterson, Have you checked the dox on the Samba homepage or in the documentation? I've never ever had time-out issues with it - even from pre-release, mate. | 22:23 |

| Lxndr | Minor question: How do I navigate between active windows in irssi? | 22:25 |
| JPeterson | Seveas: using -f "sudo umount -f -t cifs /home/user/Network/M" | 22:25 |
| JPeterson | waits 60 seconds, then times out and does apparently nothing | 22:25 |
| Seveas | Lxndr, /win 4 | 22:25 |

| Seveas | madjoe, heh, that's actually a nifty idea. There's no such thing but it isn't too hard to create. | 22:39 |

| nakhlawi | jrib: Nice one that :-) | 22:58 |

| Brandie | Hi. | 23:00 |
| Seveas | hello | 23:01 |
| luw | hi friends, question regarding system proxy settings | 23:01 |
| luw | where can i find this? | 23:01 |
| Brandie | Greetings loved ones, it's time to get horny! | 23:01 |
| luw | whoa! | 23:01 |
| Seveas | Brandie, wrong channel for that. Please behave. | 23:02 |
| luw | i didnt know that this is what ubuntu is all about! | 23:02 |
| Seveas | luw, system -> preferences -> network proxy | 23:02 |
| redbullfx_ | hey everyone | 23:02 |
| aeon-ltd | redbullfx_: hi | 23:02 |

| dublisk | Hi, I'm wondering what you think is the best solution for ~ 5 users connecting to a server to run various GUI apps (e.g. IDEs for coding). I've looked at VNC, X11 forwarding, and nomachine, any others I should look into? | 23:03 |
| aeon-ltd | dublisk: network booting(PXE) | 23:03 |
| heffay | I cannot get the stylus on my HP TC4200 tablet/pc working. I'm using kubuntu 9.10. I don't see any Wacom devices listed under lsusb or lspci. I have wacom-tools and xserver-xorg-input-wacom installed. | 23:03 |
| Seveas | aeon-ltd, how is pxe related to running gui apps remotely? | 23:03 |
| redbullfx_ | i need some help someone. I have tint2 installed.. all is working great. except, when i autostart tint2 my wifi manager from the taskbar appears in my tint2 at the bottom. i have no idea why. | 23:04 |
| redbullfx_ | Anyway know why? | 23:04 |
| aeon-ltd | Seveas: it isn't but hosting a OS on a server can allow client machines to do so | 23:04 |
| usr13 | dublisk: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ThinClientHowto | 23:04 |
| Seveas | dublisk, why are the apps running remotely? Just to keep them centralised? In that case LTSP/edubuntu may be something to look at | 23:04 |
| dublisk | Its one a blade server | 23:05 |
| dublisk | on | 23:05 |

| CkhiKuzad | How exactly do I install Ubuntu One in 10.04? | 23:06 |
| lousygarua | If i somehow kill my metacity, can I bring it back without moving to the alt+ctrl+f1 terminal and running something like `metacity --display=:0 &`? | 23:07 |
| luw | thank you Seveas, im still a little stumped however | 23:07 |
| heffay | anyone? | 23:07 |
| usr13 | !repeat | redbullfx_ | 23:07 |
| ubottu | redbullfx_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://ubuntu.stackexchange.com | 23:07 |
| erUSUL | lousygarua: if you have a xterm running in foreground ... :) | 23:07 |

| CkhiKuzad | It's not there. | 23:07 |
| lousygarua | erUSUL, I'll take that as a no :) | 23:08 |
| focusone | in Ubuntu is there a way to ssh over a console session that has an application running already? | 23:08 |
| erUSUL | lousygarua: well « alt + f2 » depends on metacity so we enter a catch-22 ... | 23:08 |
| usr13 | !screens | 23:08 |
| erUSUL | !screen | focusone | 23:08 |
| ubottu | focusone: Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen | 23:08 |
| focusone | no not a screen... a ssh session.. | 23:08 |
| smc | Well I got it installed, I just let Ubuntu setup the partitions, and I used LVM, because I heard it could be adjusted later. | 23:09 |
| lousygarua | focusone, screen is a program | 23:09 |
| focusone | Ohh.... | 23:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Screen is a MUST learn about tool :) | 23:09 |
| tjubaluba | what is the hotkey to get focus on the program menu? | 23:10 |
| aeon-ltd | or tmux if you don't like screen | 23:10 |
| lousygarua | focusone, you basically run screen on the ssh'ed terminal, then you can discnonect, and reconnect, and attach yousrself to the screen and continue where you left it, with all the programs aworking | 23:10 |
| Seveas | tjubaluba, alt+space | 23:10 |
| lousygarua | or smt like that :) | 23:10 |
| nakhlawi | tjubaluba: Alt + F1 | 23:10 |
| focusone | so if I putty in from work I can get to lets say console 1? | 23:10 |
| Seveas | focusone, no. | 23:11 |
| focusone | or tty1? | 23:11 |
| Dr_Willis | focusone: you get to 'screen session 1' the tty or consol eit was running on - doestne matter | 23:11 |
| erUSUL | focusone: you get to whatever screen sessions you left running | 23:11 |
| focusone | ok so my question is how do I do that? ; - ( I'm lost... | 23:11 |
| __cool__ | focusone: u have to start the programs already in 'screen' though to connect to them later | 23:11 |
| Dr_Willis | byobu is screen tweaked to be a bit mor euser friendly | 23:11 |
| Dr_Willis | focusone: read the screen docs | 23:11 |
| erUSUL | focusone: follow the ubottu link | 23:11 |
| aeon-ltd | focusone: install screen first | 23:11 |
| focusone | so screen is it.. | 23:12 |
| focusone | ok.. | 23:12 |
| Dr_Willis | focusone: or byobu | 23:12 |

| tjubaluba | with 10.04 i feel i can leave windows behind if someone just gets some games onto ubuntu/linux | 23:13 |
| my_haz | why will ubuntu only boot the livecd if there is a harddrive in the computer? | 23:13 |
| Dr_Willis | tjubaluba: I play many games in Linux. :) | 23:13 |
| infid | ifconfig can't tell you your external IP right? | 23:13 |
| my_haz | infid: no | 23:14 |
| infid | my_haz: no to what? that it can or can't? | 23:14 |
| erUSUL | infid: if you are directly connected to internet; it can | 23:14 |
| aeon-ltd | tjubaluba: steam is being developed, i think- well valve's denying it but i like to think so | 23:14 |
| my_haz | infid: ifconfig can not tell you your external ip address | 23:14 |
| erUSUL | infid: problem is most people are behind a router | 23:14 |
| tjubaluba | aeon-ltd, ah cool | 23:14 |

| infid | right | 23:14 |

| lxndr_ | I upgraded from 8.04 to 10.04. Now, I cannot get sound to play (except for system alerts). What can I do to get sound to play? | 23:15 |
| md-llyr | I'm using 10.04. When I try to access a particular adult flash video site the connection takes quite a while to happen and IF it happens to load correctly Ubuntu wants to download files instead of streaming them. This is using either Firefox or Chrome. Other flash vid sites work fine and I have no problem when booting up the Live CD. ANy ideas what might be wrong? | 23:15 |
| focusone | This is a very active channel.... | 23:15 |
| focusone | Very Cool.. | 23:15 |
| usr13 | !sound | lxndr_ | 23:15 |
| ubottu | lxndr_: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 23:15 |
| luw | hi again, so my system settings say "direct internet connection" and for firefox, they say use system settings. however, with these settings it takes very long to resolve a host. if i select "no proxy" in firefox, speed seems to be lighting fast again. IT sounds fishy to me... | 23:16 |
| aeon-ltd | md-llyr: easy solution. don't use the site. stay away from 'adult' sites | 23:16 |
| Razican | Hello, I have a problem with Wake On Lan in Ubuntu 10.04. When I shutdown the computer, it doesn't keep the interfaces on. In ethtool it says wake-on: g | 23:16 |
| usr13 | luw: Check to see what nameserver(s) you are using. ( /etc/resolv.conf ) | 23:17 |
| mzuverink | Solved the turning of touchpad entirely issue through the App>>Sys tools>>config editor, then just found touchpad and turned i off | 23:17 |
| lousygarua | does anyone has any idea why my xchat is so lagging? i tried the webchat on the same time as xchat was running and the response time there was much faster | 23:17 |
| md-llyr | aeon-ltd: considering the fact that I'm pushin' 60 'll let that pass | 23:17 |
| luw | ok one sec usr13, thank you | 23:17 |
| Jordan_U_ | my_haz: What exactly happens when it crashes? (I'm not able to reproduce this problem on my computer BTW) | 23:17 |
| my_haz | Jordan_U_: after it loads initd.gz the computer stops and reboots | 23:18 |
| usr13 | luw: Are you actually using a proxy server? Do you have a proxy server on your network? | 23:18 |
| my_haz | Jordan_U_: this does not happen with DSL livecd | 23:18 |
| Razican | Hello, I have a problem with Wake On Lan in Ubuntu Server 10.04. When I shutdown the computer, it doesn't keep the interfaces on. In ethtool it says wake-on: g | 23:18 |
| my_haz | Jordan_U_: but it happens on all the ubuntu livecds i have | 23:18 |
| my_haz | Jordan_U_: 9/10.04 both 32 and 64bit | 23:18 |
| usr13 | luw: If you are telling firefox to use a proxy server, you are going to bypass what ever nameserver you have coded into /etc/resolv.conf so.... | 23:19 |
| erUSUL | Razican: try in #ubuntu-server | 23:19 |
| luw | usr13: no i do not have a proxy setup, i have a name server and thats the only thing listed in my /etc/resolv.conf | 23:19 |
| luw | usr13: i would like to keep firefox as "use system settings" however, it takes very long to resolve hosts it say | 23:19 |
| usr13 | luw: Then do not tell firefox to try and use a proxer server, (which does not exist in the first place). | 23:19 |
| luw | usr13: ok understood | 23:20 |
| Stealth_ | Hey | 23:20 |
| Stealth_ | sebsebseb: its working | 23:20 |
| luw | usr13: however, im wondering how the setting got set in the first place? is that default? im a very parinoid person.... | 23:20 |
| usr13 | luw: And use the closest / fastest nameserver you can. | 23:20 |
| sebsebseb | Stealth_: good :) | 23:21 |
| Jordan_U_ | my_haz: The fact that memtest, which doesn't use the linux kernel at all, doesn't have this problem suggests that the problem is somewhere in syslinux. (or rather, it's probably a BIOS bug that in combination with syslinux is causing the computer to reset). | 23:21 |
| Stealth_ | sebsebseb, i was amazed at it to be honest, I did not expect it to work | 23:21 |
| my_haz | Jordan_U_: is syslinux something that DSL doesn't use? | 23:21 |
| sebsebseb | Stealth_: I did | 23:22 |
| Jordan_U_ | my_haz: Let me check, I'm betting that it does but possibly a different version. | 23:22 |
| sebsebseb | Stealth_: and your old partition works fine as seperate /home I assume and all that :) | 23:22 |
| sam898889 | why does this room keep asking me to register? | 23:22 |
| Stealth_ | Yeah sebsebseb | 23:22 |
| madmike | md-llyr, filthy animal! | 23:22 |
| madmike | md-llyr, use a different sie | 23:22 |
| madmike | *site | 23:22 |
| madmike | ? | 23:22 |
| Stealth_ | All my files are perfect | 23:22 |
| FloodBot1 | madmike: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:22 |
| sebsebseb | sam898889: probably since the spam bots | 23:22 |
| luw | usr13: i have a small 1000bt network in my house (< 30 computers) and i only use the nameserver to make my life easier | 23:22 |
| usr13 | luw: Actually, you sould go with the one recommended by your ISP. But if your router is coded with the one from the ISP you can use the router's caching nameserver, (which it should be sending to your PC to be placed automatically into /etc/resolv.conf in the first place). | 23:22 |
| sebsebseb | sam898889: and so they change the channel sometimes as a result, the mode of it | 23:22 |
| sebsebseb | !register | sam898889 | 23:23 |

| arkaxow | hello | 23:23 |
| arkaxow | is this the place to ask questions about installation of ubuntu ? | 23:24 |
| sebsebseb | Stealth_: yeah your welcome, and I expect you learned quite a bit after all that :) | 23:24 |
| sam898889 | but this is for ubuntu help the first place most people come when they have a problem. and in addition to that some people might not know how to use IRC ~ thus making a problem, into problems. i think its not very human at all. | 23:24 |
| Stealth_ | Yeah sebsebseb better than a IT lesson | 23:24 |
| Dekonega | arkaxow: hello and welcome and yes | 23:24 |
| sebsebseb | Stealth_: :) | 23:24 |
| Stealth_ | hEH] | 23:24 |
| focusone | Hi... do you know if there is away to hide an established connection when you do a netstat -an? | 23:24 |
| Jordan_U_ | sam898889: The channel would unfortunately likely be unusably inundated with spam without it. Can we move this discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic? | 23:25 |
| Stealth_ | Anyway sebsebseb i am knackered now, will probs be back on tommorow mate, I am going to go in a bit | 23:25 |
| luw | usr13: it is typical for routers to hold a list of name servers? i am using smoothwall 3.0 | 23:25 |
| Stealth_ | I will pop in to this IRC tommorow however when I have xchat installed | 23:25 |
| sam898889 | Jordan_U_, nobody there | 23:25 |
| arkaxow | I was wondering if there was any advantage to formatting a hard disk using the linux file system verus keeping it as NTFS ? I am installing ubuntu for the first time. | 23:25 |
| sebsebseb | Stealth_: personally I am not much of a fan of xchat, since another client, but yeah ok | 23:25 |
| Stealth_ | ehh I like xchat mate, but each to his own | 23:25 |
| Stealth_ | Anyway mate, see you tommorow | 23:26 |
| luw | usr13: i am just unsure how the whole thing works | 23:26 |
| usr13 | luw: The list of nameservers is placed there only by the one that sets up the network configurations on it. | 23:26 |
| Stealth_ | have a good night seb mate | 23:26 |
| sebsebseb | Stealth_: yeah ok your welcome, and have fun with your new Ubuntu install | 23:26 |
| Hanato_Kobato | Hello, I am having some problem with booting in the live cd installation | 23:26 |
| sebsebseb | oh he left already, ah well | 23:26 |
| nakhlawi | arkaxow: Use the Linux-native filesystem, it is better. | 23:26 |
| arkaxow | nakhlawi: in what ways will it be better ? | 23:27 |
| sebsebseb | arkaxow: by default Linux file systems are used | 23:27 |
| sebsebseb | arkaxow: you don't install Linux distros on Windows file systems, useualy | 23:27 |
| aeon-ltd | nakhlawi: native support :) | 23:27 |
| sebsebseb | arkaxow: as for why Linux file systems are better, well for a start, they don't need defragging like Windows file systems | 23:27 |
| nakhlawi | arkaxow: support is of course better. With NTFS there is reverse-engineering and you could face some issues | 23:27 |
| Jordan_U_ | arkaxow: Ubuntu can't boot without a linux filesystem. There are also other advantages like less fragmentation (to the point that you only need to defrag in extreme situations), journaling and others. | 23:28 |
| usr13 | luw: It is a good idea (once in a while) to check to make sure that the first one on the list is up and running and actually resolving domain names. Actually, now days, most of us just put one in there and if something happens to it, we just find another to use, (the alternate one suggested by the ISP). | 23:28 |
| lxndr_ | What would cause youtube to be silent in firefox, but have sound in Chrome? | 23:28 |
| arkaxow | nakhlawi: for example is the linux file system faster ? | 23:28 |
| usr13 | lxndr_: Could be that you are using two different versions of flash player. | 23:29 |
| Hanato_Kobato | Can I get some help with this silly problem? | 23:29 |
| nakhlawi | arkaxow: No, I am referring to possible filesystem corruption when you use NTFS as your Linux filesystem. | 23:29 |
| nakhlawi | arkaxow: instead, use ext3 | 23:29 |
| usr13 | Hanato_Kobato: No, because we don't know what the silly problem is. :) (Sorry couldn't resist) (Just ask your questions... | 23:29 |
| luw | usr13: so i should check this at the user level at this computer here? how would you go about doing that | 23:29 |
| Hanato_Kobato | I cannot boot into the 10.10 live-cd installation | 23:30 |
| arkaxow | sebsebseb: I am installing linux on a separate hard drive with the windows boot drive disconnected. I have video files on there that I have backed up. So formatting is ok. Just wanted to get the opinion if it was advantageous to format as linux. I will be using the other two hard drives as NTFS until I have weened myself from windows and made sure everything is working ok. | 23:30 |
| aeon-ltd | Hanato_Kobato: what happens? error? reboot? nothing? | 23:30 |
| usr13 | luw: Place the one you want to test in your /etc/resolv.conf and see if it resolves ok. (Put only one in there and see if it works) | 23:30 |
| redbullfx_ | i need some help someone. I have tint2 installed.. all is working great. except, when i autostart tint2 my wifi manager from the taskbar appears in my tint2 at the bottom. i have no idea why. Anyway know why? | 23:30 |
| aeon-ltd | redbullfx_: i have no idea, but is there 2 panels? | 23:31 |
| Hanato_Kobato | Hmm, I'll be back in a moment.. | 23:31 |
| focusone | Hi... do you know if there is away to hide an established connection when you do a netstat -an? | 23:31 |
| redbullfx_ | aeon-ltd: no | 23:31 |
| arkaxow | thanks everyone. I will continue with installation and come back if I need help :) | 23:31 |
| usr13 | focusone: man netstat | 23:32 |
| nakhlawi | arkaxow: sure. | 23:32 |
| aeon-ltd | redbullfx_: oh, sorry i read wrong. the window spawns under the panel? | 23:32 |
| Hanato_Kobato | "No init found" and it's taking me to the "BusyBox" | 23:32 |
| erUSUL | focusone: from root? maybe rotkit makers know how | 23:32 |
| sebsebseb | aeon-ltd: you intall Ubuntu using Linux file system, and you can use your NTFS's with it | 23:32 |
| sebsebseb | arkaxow: ^ | 23:32 |
| roxana | Is there a way to view wikipedia offline on ubuntu/ | 23:32 |
| roxana | I want to make it available for someone who has no internet connection. | 23:32 |
| redbullfx_ | aeon-ltd:no | 23:32 |
| focusone | so a rootkit would do the job | 23:32 |
| nakhlawi | roxana: the whole website? that is very big! | 23:33 |
| aeon-ltd | redbullfx_: please describe it more deeply | 23:33 |
| roxana | nakhlawi, No | 23:33 |
| roxana | nakhlawi, Just articles in Romanian language | 23:33 |
| aeon-ltd | roxana: thats still a lot | 23:33 |
| madjoe | Seveas: hi again! I've chmod that file as 755, edited last 4 lines, but it doesn't work.. I tested it on my eth0 connection | 23:33 |
| lxndr_ | How can I make sound play from firefox (youtube). Sound is already playing from every other program, chrome (youtube) included. | 23:33 |
| roxana | aeon-ltd, 149573 articles:( How much would It be? | 23:33 |
| nakhlawi | lxndr_: I think firefox is being blocked from using the sound card. | 23:34 |
| aeon-ltd | roxana: a lot including images, sound files etc | 23:34 |
| erUSUL | roxana: dwnload an offline version from somwhere http://www.aboutonlinetips.com/download-wikipedia-on-computer-for-offline-access/ | 23:34 |
| roxana | erUSUL, thanks | 23:34 |
| lxndr_ | nakhlawi: That could be the case. How can I fix it? | 23:34 |
| Hanato_Kobato | aeon-ltd, it's taking me to the "BusyBox" | 23:34 |
| roxana | aeon-ltd, I have like 20 gb available:) | 23:34 |
| usr13 | !flash | lxndr_ | 23:34 |
| ubottu | lxndr_: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 23:34 |
| nakhlawi | lxndr_: I think if you log off then log on again, start firefox alone and try. | 23:35 |
| madjoe | Seveas: oh, it's because I don't have mplayer installed.. can I use any other lightweight player that could play WAV files? or would you recommend me to install mplayer for that? | 23:35 |
| usr13 | lxndr_: You could check to see if chrome is using a different version of flash player. Look in it's plugin dir and compare with mozilla's (use diff) | 23:35 |
| infid | why is it i can't scp a file from computer A to computer B if i'm on A, yet if i'm on B i can scp from A to b? | 23:36 |
| redbullfx_ | Well when I dont autostart tint2, the wifi manager in my gnome panel is located where it should be. My tint2 is located at the bottom of my screen. where the windows usually go. but when i autostart tint2, the wifi manager appears on the tint2 bar. its strange | 23:36 |
| erUSUL | madjoe: aplay ? | 23:36 |
| usr13 | infid: Must be your syntax is incorrect | 23:36 |
| CkhiKuzad | I can't add my system to ubuntu one -.- | 23:36 |
| Belboz99 | hey all, I need some help with a routing issue on my "server" | 23:36 |
| Jordan_U_ | infid: Is there a router between the two (particularly, is one behind NAT)? | 23:36 |
| madjoe | erUSUL: ok, I'll take a look | 23:36 |
| CkhiKuzad | no matter what i try, it's not working. | 23:37 |
| erUSUL | madjoe: or paplay | 23:37 |
| focusone | Belboz99: whats the problem???? | 23:37 |
| usr13 | infid: In other words, there is no reason why you can't. | 23:37 |
| madjoe | erUSUL: does it have a GUI? | 23:37 |
| Belboz99 | I've got 3 nic's on my server, 2 wired, one for LAN, one for WAN, plus a wireless AP, the server does all the routing, NAT, and firewall duties for the LAN | 23:37 |
| focusone | ok... | 23:37 |
| focusone | so what are you trying to do? | 23:38 |
| erUSUL | madjoe: no; i thought you wanted some simple command to play a file | 23:38 |
| madjoe | erUSUL: is there any lightweight player without a GUI? complete robust version and as light as possible... | 23:38 |
| Belboz99 | focusone: the problem in a nutshell is that the wired LAN clients can't ping the wireless, or visa versa | 23:38 |
| aeon-ltd | Hanato_Kobato: try redownloading the iso and reburning on a clean disc, not really sure how to tackle this since i've never experienced the busybox prompt :( | 23:38 |
| madjoe | erUSUL: that's the one, then... thnx! | 23:38 |
| Jordan_U_ | !md5 | Hanato_Kobato | 23:38 |
| ubottu | Hanato_Kobato: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 23:38 |
| focusone | Belboz99: hang on open a private with me and I will see if I can help./ | 23:39 |
| bencc | how can I search a string in files in a folder recursivley? | 23:39 |
| usr13 | infid: scp user-name@192.168.1.x:Documents/file-name.doc . | 23:39 |
| madjoe | erUSUL: I don't see it in my Synaptic.. how to install paplay? | 23:39 |
| nakhlawi | bencc: grep <string> * | 23:39 |
| focusone | apt-get install name | 23:39 |
| bencc | nakhlawi: is it recursive? | 23:40 |
| erUSUL | madjoe: comes with pulseaudio afaik may be already there | 23:40 |
| madjoe | erUSUL: when I search for paplay I get pulseaudio-utils in my Synaptic tho... | 23:40 |
| nakhlawi | bencc: that would be: grep -d <string> directory | 23:40 |
| madjoe | erUSUL: that's it | 23:40 |
| erUSUL | madjoe: yep that's the package | 23:40 |
| elitexray | I installed qalculate and this program appears twice in my menu. I can't seem to delete one. | 23:40 |
| nakhlawi | bencc: try it please, I am not very sure | 23:40 |
| heffay | I cannot get the stylus on my HP TC4200 tablet/pc working. I'm using kubuntu 9.10. I don't see any Wacom devices listed under lsusb or lspci. I have wacom-tools and xserver-xorg-input-wacom installed. | 23:40 |
| erUSUL | nakhlawi: -R not -d | 23:40 |
| elitexray | Anyone know how to remove items from menu? | 23:40 |
| erUSUL | bencc: grep -R string dir/ | 23:41 |
| nakhlawi | erUSUL: thanks. | 23:41 |
| Jordan_U_ | usr13: That's not quite correct. If infid's computer A is behind NAT without port forewarding then it makes perfect sense that A would be able to initiate a connection with B, but not the other way around. | 23:41 |
| madjoe | erUSUL: works like a charm.. thanks! :) | 23:41 |
| usr13 | infid: OR: scp user-name@192.168.1.x:Documents/file-name.doc Documents/ | 23:41 |
| erUSUL | madjoe: no problem | 23:41 |
| aeon-ltd | elitexray: right click on your applications menu and click edit menus | 23:41 |
| infid | usr13: my syntax is de3finiletly right, i scp files 'to' computers all the time. however i can't here. i can only do an scp 'pull' | 23:41 |
| usr13 | Jordan_U_: Well, he didn't tell me that. | 23:41 |
| bencc | erUSUL: thanks | 23:41 |
| infid | usr13: it's probably a firewall issue | 23:41 |
| elitexray | aeon-ltd. i don't see that option | 23:42 |
| usr13 | infid: If you can not ping the ip address, you will not be able to scp from it. So try pinging it. | 23:42 |
| elitexray | oh wait, nm | 23:42 |
| elitexray | thanks | 23:42 |
| infid | usr13: if i'm on A, I can scp from A to B and from B to A. But if i'm on B i can't scp to A | 23:43 |
| aeon-ltd | elitexray: ok glad it sorted it out :) | 23:43 |
| infid | usr13: i can ping it | 23:43 |
| Gwar | Hi guys. I am trying to play music through teamspeak, and I can get the mic to pick up what is coming though my speakers, but of course, it then picks THAT up, causing an infinite echo feedback. I am using Alsa. I have googled to no avail. Anyone know how to do this? D: | 23:43 |
| elitexray | :) it worked | 23:43 |
| elitexray | qalculate is the best calculator in the world. | 23:43 |
| elitexray | I wish i could use it on my calculus test. | 23:43 |
| infid | bc is :P | 23:43 |
| elitexray | bc as is best calculator? | 23:44 |
| elitexray | as in* | 23:44 |
| usr13 | infid: ping -p 22 192.168.1.x | 23:44 |
| usr13 | infid: nmap -p 22 192.168.1.x | 23:44 |
| usr13 | infid: I meant nmap not ping | 23:45 |
| __cool__ | why not nc or telnet? | 23:45 |
| __cool__ | nc -v host post ; that's easiest to see the banner | 23:45 |
| __cool__ | uh po*r*t | 23:46 |

| jdawg | I just installed Lucid Lynx on my PC with no other operating systems..when in reboots after installation i get a blank screen with flashing cursor. | 23:51 |
| tjubaluba | is the syslog message "Sep 5 00:50:37 karlw-laptop kernel: [ 6311.899471] intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: MCP power or thermal limit exceeded" normal? | 23:52 |
| aeon-ltd | jdawg: any errors during install? | 23:52 |
| usr13 | jdawg: What happens when you do Ctrl-Alt-F6 ? | 23:52 |
| usr13 | jdawg: Nothing else at all on the screen but the flashing cursor? | 23:53 |
| jdawg | just flashing cursor | 23:54 |
| Jordan_U_ | jdawg: Do you see anything at boot if you hold shift? | 23:55 |
| usr13 | jdawg: And nothing happens when you do Ctrl-Alt-F6 ? | 23:55 |
| jdawg | I will try that now...what should happen when i hold down key combinations | 23:56 |
| usr13 | jdawg: Or Ctrl-Alt-F7 ? or Ctrl-Alt-F8 ? | 23:56 |
| mobasher | can anyone help me seutp vnc please :) | 23:56 |
| chilli0 | Hello , I'm about to install windows XP , and how can I make it so it doesn't screw with the bootloader? Well , I guess how can I easily reinstall grub so it shows ubuntu and windows xp. | 23:56 |
| usr13 | jdawg: When I say Ctrl-Alt-F6 I mean to hold Ctrl and Alt keys while hitting the F6 key. | 23:56 |
| Jordan_U_ | jdawg: If you boot while holding shift you should get to a menu with more options. | 23:56 |
| jdawg | will try...brb | 23:57 |
| massmc | have you installed the vncserver mobasher? | 23:57 |
| usr13 | Jordan_U_: Hope he saw what you said too.... | 23:57 |
| Gwar | Hi guys. I am trying to play music through teamspeak, and I can get the mic to pick up what is coming though my speakers, but of course, it then picks THAT up, causing an infinite echo feedback. I am using Alsa. I have googled to no avail. Anyone know how to do this? D: | 23:57 |
| VCoolio | !restoregrub | chilli0 | 23:57 |
| usr13 | Jordan_U_: Sounds like he is on the machine in question.... | 23:57 |
| VCoolio | !grub | chilli0 | 23:58 |
| ubottu | chilli0: 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. | 23:58 |
| Jordan_U_ | chilli0: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide | 23:58 |
| __cool__ | Gwar: if teamspeak has no tek built in to suppress local echoe, i think alsa (the linux sound sys) has not either | 23:58 |
