| mark__ | oh sorry im new here | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| histo | SCD[Eire]: if you hold the shift key down you should get a grub menu. | 00:00 |
| sebsebseb | mark__: a female bot computer program | 00:00 |
| Hopsa | SCD[Eire]: Couldnt get what into the grub menu ? | 00:00 |
| sebsebseb | !gender | mark__ | 00:00 |
| ubottu | mark__: yes, I can confirm I am a female bot :) | 00:00 |
| mark__ | male | 00:00 |
| SCD[Eire] | glebihan, it wasn't shown up when I did an fdisk -l and histo didn't work and Hopsa my computer lol | 00:00 |
| histo | SCD[Eire]: are you booting ubuntu off of usb ? | 00:00 |
| headkase314 | mark__, ubottu responds to lines that begin with a ! so when you see ubottu look just above to see who triggered her. | 00:00 |
| Hopsa | SCD[Eire]: and your computer what ? | 00:01 |
| SCD[Eire] | histo, nope I have it installed. I was booting DSL so I could edit etc/sudoers | 00:01 |
| histo | SCD[Eire]: what version of ubuntu? | 00:01 |
| SCD[Eire] | nd Hopsa I couldn't get my pc to display grub before booting into ubuntu. It didn't even show it | 00:01 |
| SCD[Eire] | 10.04 histo | 00:01 |
| steven | hi | 00:02 |
| sebsebseb | steven: hi | 00:02 |
| Hopsa | SCD[Eire]: Set the grub timeout | 00:02 |
| SCD[Eire] | Hopsa, how? | 00:02 |
| SCD[Eire] | I can't do anything that requires sudo | 00:03 |
| glebihan | Hopsa, histo: let me sum it up : SCD doesn't get to get admin privilege, so we suggested earlier that he reboot in recovery mode to edit /etc/sudoers | 00:03 |
| steven | Not strictly releted with ubuntu, but does someone know a diagram editor for use with LaTeX. I need to draw graphs, and need subscript and superscripts so DIA is no good. (Also, i already know dot) | 00:03 |
| Hopsa | SCD[Eire]: /etc/grub/grubmenu.1st or something like that. | 00:03 |
| mark__ | what is the best way for a noob to get help with a sound prob | 00:03 |
| sebsebseb | !details | mark__ | 00:03 |
| ubottu | mark__: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 00:03 |
| glebihan | Hopsa: yes but he cannot edit this file as he won't have the privilege | 00:03 |
| Hopsa | SCD[Eire], glebihan: Ah, yes he cant get admin privs. Use rescue | 00:04 |
| sebsebseb | mark__: unfortuantly the sound factoid isn't that great for newbies, but there it is anyway | 00:04 |
| sebsebseb | !sound | mark__ | 00:04 |
| ubottu | mark__: 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. | 00:04 |
| SCD[Eire] | Hopsa, using a netbook with no cd drive. The biggest USB I have is 512MB. Bit awkward | 00:04 |
| panfist | i've customized gnome a bit on one of my PCs and I was wondering what it takes to transfer the complete configuration to my other PCs | 00:04 |
| patman023 | glebihan: did you see my last post by chance? | 00:04 |
| Hopsa | SCD[Eire]: Cant you get an external cd for it ? | 00:04 |
| glebihan | patman023: recently ? | 00:05 |
| SCD[Eire] | Not right now Hopsa. Trying to just fix it tonight | 00:05 |
| histo | SCD[Eire]: you should be able to mount / in dsl | 00:05 |
| Hopsa | SCD[Eire]: Or a boot floppy that you can rescue from ? | 00:05 |
| histo | Hopsa: he can boot to DSL from usb | 00:05 |
| nullx | I was messing aroudn with my wireless card and changed it to monitor m ode. Now I have rebooted the machine and the device is no longer showing. iwconfig shows no wireless devices but lshw is showing network 0 unclaimed | 00:05 |
| SCD[Eire] | histo, it didn't recognise my hard drive | 00:05 |
| nullx | is there anyway i can re enable the device? | 00:05 |
| Hopsa | histo: Boot from DSL to run boot/rescue ? | 00:06 |
| mark__ | i am running ubuntu 10.04 new install downloaded today no hdmi audio dont know if there is analog or not dont have any to hook up sound is onboard intel dh55hc | 00:06 |
| histo | SCD[Eire]: you could boot the ubuntu mini.iso and maybe repair from there | 00:06 |
| patman023 | no, my kernel issue - i can copypasta... | 00:06 |
| sebsebseb | mark__: ok and its a lap top? | 00:06 |
| sedstapler | mark__: if it's a noob with a desktop PC, the easiest solution for sound problems by far is to install a sound card with an Emu10k1 chipset, for example an old SoundBlaster Live PCI that can be found on ebay for like $5 | 00:06 |
| SCD[Eire] | histo, how big is the mini.iso? Because that'd work | 00:06 |
| mark__ | desktop | 00:06 |
| glebihan | patman023: yes, go on | 00:06 |
| Hopsa | SCD[Eire]: there are many ways to rescue a dist :) | 00:06 |
| sedstapler | okay, disregard my comment if it's about HDMI :) | 00:06 |
| histo | SCD[Eire]: mini.iso is 12mb or somehting. Why are we jumping through all these hoops to begin with? | 00:07 |
| patman023 | glebihan: I cannot run (even from a livecd/dvd, 32 or 64 bit) any kernel newer than even the newest iteration of 2.6.31, I end up getting a stack trace (i think) that ends in: [ 0.557246] [<c0104087>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 | 00:07 |
| sebsebseb | !who | mark__ | 00:07 |
| ubottu | mark__: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 00:07 |
| sebsebseb | mark__: that will help you message peole in here directly ^ | 00:07 |
| Hopsa | SCD[Eire]: and how did you manage to install Ubuntu btw ? | 00:07 |
| histo | SCD[Eire]: let me bring up a mini.iso and see if I can get to anything of use | 00:08 |
| headkase314 | mark__, you only need to type 3 or 4 letters of the name and then press TAB to complete the name | 00:08 |
| SCD[Eire] | Hopsa, borrowed a USB drive | 00:08 |
| sebsebseb | headkase314: I was going to maybe type something like that, but you done it now :) | 00:08 |
| SCD[Eire] | And thanks histo | 00:08 |
| histo | SCD[Eire]: ughh virtualbox woes. Perhaps someone else can weigh in on if you can use the mini.iso to repair it. | 00:08 |
| Hopsa | SCD[Eire]: Nice to see that worked btw. | 00:08 |
| glebihan | patman023: I may not be of much help in that case | 00:08 |
| mark__ | headkase314, thank you | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | mark__: its lap tops that tend to get the hardware issues, when it comes to Ubuntu, not desktops | 00:09 |
| headkase314 | mark__, you're welcome! | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | mark__: also when you use someones name, their RIC client will useually high light the message | 00:09 |
| Hopsa | SCD[Eire]: Do you have a floppy or can you remove the usb stick ? | 00:09 |
| patman023 | glebihan: kk, #ubuntu-kernel is dead - any other ideas as to where to look? | 00:10 |
| sebsebseb | mark__: maybe it is simpally a pulseaudio issue of some sort, causing your problem | 00:10 |
| mikeyvee | hey guys im trying to install office 2010 but it says it needs msxml | 00:10 |
| mark__ | sebsebseb, well this is an htpc and really would like to use the hdmi audio | 00:10 |
| SCD[Eire] | Hopsa, I can but it's only 512MB big | 00:10 |
| glebihan | patman023: well, you can always have a look on launchpad to see if anybody reported the same kind of issues | 00:11 |
| gimmebottles | can someone tell me how to delete an autoconnect-channel in irssi? | 00:11 |
| ChogyDan | patman023: have you tried the mainline kernels? | 00:11 |
| Hopsa | SCD[Eire]: Do you have another usb stick ? | 00:11 |
| crohakon | My sound works perfectly in Ubuntu Lucid except when I plug in headphones. The headphones do work, I have tested. I have an Asus g50v. Anyone got any ideas? I check volume levels already as well. | 00:11 |
| SCD[Eire] | Yeah Hopsa but not bigger than 512 :( | 00:11 |
| patman023 | ChogyDan: yes, and nogo past 2.6.31 | 00:11 |
| Hopsa | SCD[Eire]: I have a 16 GB stick i could fax to you :P | 00:11 |
| jdawg | I'm new to Ubuntu, and confused about the terminal commands to set up NFS...Is there a GUI to do this????? | 00:11 |
| jdawg | <jdawg> I'm new to Ubuntu, and confused about the terminal commands to set up NFS...Is there a GUI to do this????? | 00:11 |
| SCD[Eire] | Hopsa, that would be handy :P | 00:12 |
| sedstapler | mikeyvee: ##winehq | 00:12 |
| iflema | SCD[Eire]: tried using supergrub disc to boot into ya system?? small iso.... | 00:12 |
| sedstapler | mikeyvee: sorry. it's #winehq | 00:12 |
| Hopsa | SCD[Eire]: Thing is, you need to boot the sucker with some media. | 00:12 |
| mikeyvee | thank you | 00:12 |
| ChogyDan | patman023: then you need to report this upstream, probably first by filing a report on kernel.org | 00:12 |
| glebihan | crohakon: just to be sure, could you pastebin the output of "amixer" ? | 00:12 |

| sebsebseb | mark__: oh | 00:13 |
| jdawg | any know GUI config setups for NFS client/server in ubuntu????? | 00:13 |
| patman023 | ChogyDan: ok, i assume they have some launchpad-like system for bug reports? | 00:13 |
| sebsebseb | mark__: so you got 10.10 installed at the moment? | 00:13 |
| ChogyDan | patman023: sorta, they use bugzilla | 00:13 |
| crohakon | glebihan, how? | 00:13 |
| nakhlawi | jdawg: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo | 00:13 |
| tracy68 | i have broadcom 4353 what driver should i use to get it working in 2.6.35 kernel? | 00:13 |
| SCD[Eire] | Brb Hopsa have an idea | 00:13 |
| mark__ | no formated and went back to 10.04 | 00:13 |
| patman023 | ChogyDan: kk, that works then :-) | 00:13 |
| jdawg | nakhlawi: that's too confusing for me to follow...I want GUI | 00:13 |
| sebsebseb | mark__: what other isues with 10.10 when you had it? | 00:14 |
| glebihan | crohakon: run "amixer" then copy the output to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com and tell me addreess | 00:14 |
| Hopsa | SCD[Eire]. Good, i like to instill those. | 00:14 |
| sebsebseb | mark__: this looks promising though, 10.10 may work with your sound, other distros probably do as well, and probably even kubuntu, which currently doesn't use pulseaudio by default, but will starting with 10.10. you could install that into your ubuntu install and find out if sound works with that or not | 00:14 |

| crohakon | glebihan, according to that my mic volume is not turned up? How do I adjust it? | 00:15 |
| gryllida | what should i install if i see a message `make[1]: lex: Command not found`? | 00:15 |
| sebsebseb | mark__: and if you had issues with 10.10, you could do bugreports and ask for help in #ubuntu+1, but right yeah, your back on 10.04 | 00:15 |
| jdawg | valbaca: I don't have that option in lucid | 00:15 |
| sebsebseb | !kubuntu | mark__ | 00:15 |
| ubottu | mark__: kubuntu is Ubuntu with the KDE Software Compilation instead of !Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support join #kubuntu - See also !kde | 00:15 |
| glebihan | crohakon: amixer set "Mic" 100% | 00:16 |
| valbaca | jdawg, right click on your Applications | Places | System menu, Edit Menus, and add the option there | 00:16 |
| sebsebseb | mark__: and its good to try out other desktop envirionments as well, if your wanting to learn this kind of software more | 00:16 |
| mark__ | sebsebseb, so your saying add kbuntu to my ubuntu setup and sound may work | 00:16 |
| sebsebseb | mark__: yeah exactly | 00:17 |
| sebsebseb | mark__: however | 00:17 |
| incognito | still having server boot problem | 00:17 |
| sebsebseb | mark__: if that works, then that means, your issue is something to do with pulseaudio | 00:17 |
| iflema | tracy68: STA should get ya there | 00:17 |
| jdawg | valbada: Connect to a remote computer or shared disk? that's i'll i found | 00:18 |
| sebsebseb | mark__: quite a lot of sound issues with Ubuntu since 8.04 (April 2008) when they introduced pulse audio into Ubuntu (and what makes that a bit worse is that it was with the previous Long Term Support release) | 00:18 |

Also yeah have a look at their site, so you have an idea what you would be installing, and then to log in to it you would from the log in screen, which you can change to the better KDM even when installing it. | 00:20 |
| zfelol | hello, i just updated my ubuntu 10.04 | 00:20 |
| jdawg | valbaca: I saw that post.....not GUI.. | 00:20 |
| zfelol | and somehow wifi doesn't work anymore | 00:20 |
| gryllida | zfelol: hi there | 00:20 |
| gryllida | !wifi | 00:21 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 00:21 |
| zfelol | the system can see the card | 00:21 |
| zfelol | but well, i type my wpa2 pass | 00:21 |
| zfelol | and it doesn't get connected | 00:21 |
| crohakon | glebihan, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/psFrTXWj <--- Headphone out put does not work... but mic works fine. | 00:21 |
| zfelol | saying "wrong password" | 00:21 |
| jdawg | There isn't a simple GUI config program to get NFS running for Ubuntu????????? | 00:21 |
| zfelol | i'm sure the apssword is right | 00:21 |
| tracy68 | <iflema> didnt u tell me much | 00:21 |
| sebsebseb | mark__: to install. open the terminal and sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 00:21 |
| tracy68 | where from should i get the sat driver ? | 00:21 |
| Hopsa | gryllida, sebsebseb: mayank_gupta2005 ??? | 00:21 |
| tracy68 | from synaptic? | 00:21 |
| gryllida | jdawg: not as main file system, no, though ubuntu can read/write it generally fine | 00:21 |
| zfelol | gryllida, already tried that way | 00:22 |
| zfelol | the point is that the card works | 00:22 |
| toshiba_linux | sorry if im just here to ask this question, but I cannot believe a toshiba a30 wont allow a linux installation :/ | 00:22 |
| zfelol | just the system got fucked up | 00:22 |

| * Hopsa Put on some deathmetal and yams | 00:22 | |
| headkase314 | sebsebseb, should he do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm" after? I don't know if that is the right command but basically to make kdm the session manager instead of gdm in case that matters? | 00:22 |
| Seeker` | !language | zfelol | 00:22 |
| ubottu | zfelol: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 00:22 |
| zfelol | ok sorry | 00:22 |
| sebsebseb | headkase314: I think KDM is better than GDM 2 :) | 00:22 |
| gryllida | zfelol: check out the !wiki documentation from ubottu that i linked you to | 00:22 |
| sebsebseb | headkase314: however sure there are ways to change back to GDM | 00:22 |
| glebihan | crohakon: did you try "amixer set Headphone 100%" ? | 00:23 |
| headkase314 | sebsebseb, what I mean is that just installing kubuntu-desktop does not change the session manager to kdm - it leaves it with gdm. | 00:23 |
| jdawg | gryllida: i have the nfs package installed, but i'm looking for a GUI program to config it | 00:23 |
| * Hopsa Mmmm, Eddie Meduza | 00:23 | |
| jdawg | gryllida: i know OpenSuSE has one | 00:23 |
| sebsebseb | headkase314: mark__ no it asks which one to use on install, and I would suggest going with KDM :) | 00:23 |
| headkase314 | sebsebseb, ok, thanks. | 00:24 |

| gryllida | Hi LorgonJortle | 00:28 |
| crohakon | glebihan, yes I did... and it just returned an error | 00:28 |
| glebihan | crohakon: what error ? | 00:28 |
| Hopsa | mayank_gupta2005: I can see its a c++ program. Show the url from which you got it plz... | 00:28 |
| headkase314 | sebsebseb, I'm wondering if that will work - seems like the chances don't seem so good. | 00:28 |
| sebsebseb | headkase314: the chances are good since Kubuntu uses alsa by default instead of pulseaudio | 00:29 |
| sebsebseb | headkase314: however starting with 10.10 it will also use pulseaudio :( | 00:29 |

| headkase314 | !info gnome-alsamixer | crohakon | 00:32 |
| ubottu | crohakon: gnome-alsamixer (source: gnome-alsamixer): ALSA sound mixer for GNOME. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.7~cvs.20060916.ds.1-2 (lucid), package size 52 kB, installed size 588 kB | 00:32 |
| histo | LorgonJortle: set up the router to connect to the pppoe service | 00:32 |
| headkase314 | crohakon, if you "sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer" it does the same thing but the interface is much easier than alsamixer | 00:33 |
| histo | LorgonJortle: but this is offtopic for #ubuntu | 00:33 |
| bruenig | crohakon: you can try to use OSS | 00:33 |

| sebsebseb | mark__: are you downloading it now? | 00:33 |
| crohakon | OSS? | 00:33 |
| toshiba_linux | thanks, when I boot from a live CD it reads the CD then goes to a blank screen, when I try a bootable usb..it trys to read it then goes to boot from my hd | 00:33 |
| glebihan | crohakon: it's the same as what you got with amixer, which didn't show any information about volume level for heaphones | 00:33 |
| Hopsa | mayank_gupta2005: Looks like the cimpile went fine but didnt install. Can you run it fron that directory: ./program ? | 00:34 |
| crohakon | glebihan, right... alsamixer just made the display look better lol | 00:34 |
| Hopsa | crohakon: Yeah, np | 00:34 |
| toshiba_linux | the CD drive is fine as I can install windows and the live cd is ok as ive tested it with another machine | 00:35 |
| mayank_gupta2005 | Hopsa: as in I should run it in the simple-sim directory? | 00:35 |
| Hopsa | crohakon: Yeah. | 00:35 |
| Hopsa | crohakon: If thats ok you should be able to run: "make install" | 00:36 |

| Hopsa | headkase314: Lol! Ill have a cigarette (Although it sais i could drop and die on the box) :P | 00:54 |
| aperson | Hopsa, there's a single util that will take an archive, determine the type, and will use the correct utility (tar, gzip, etc) | 00:54 |
| Hopsa | aperson: guis do that btw | 00:55 |

| crohakon | I take that back.. opensound works when I run osstest from console but I hear no sound when trying to play music | 00:58 |
| latagore | jrib: the same way I tried to do it when it didn't work | 00:59 |
| jrib | latagore: huh? Presumably, you installed ubuntu at some point since it's failing to boot from grub now | 00:59 |
| latagore | jrib: Let me rephrase that; I installed from the Live CD on a USB | 01:00 |
| jrib | latagore: ok. Use that | 01:00 |
| latagore | jrib: I no longer have the USB; I tried reinstalling and booting from it with no success | 01:01 |
| latagore | jrib: they both stopped at one point and didn't continue | 01:01 |

| steed | i run 'emerge dev-lang/php' | 01:07 |
| rsvp | latagore, just wondering that myself! because if the bios reads from the flash drive first, it must be able to handle FAT32, NTFS, or ext4 whatever well to do its bootup. -- maybe I am wrong... any correction appreciated. | 01:08 |
| steed | and i get: dev-lang/php-5.2.14 (Change USE: +gd) | 01:08 |

| silverpower | Because trying to figure out what Ubuntu calls all 30+ dependencies of CrystalSpace (svn trunk) is starting to become frustrating. | 01:12 |
| jrib | silverpower: you should just use the package in the repositories. But if you wanted to build the package in the repositories, « sudo apt-get build-dep crystalspace » would get you them. | 01:13 |

| brad8171 | valbaca ok | 01:29 |
| sebsebseb | ShapeShifter499: theres even a channel where you can talk about the spam. ##comment-on-spam | 01:29 |
| rww | vol7ron: freenode's ircd doesn't proactively filter messages, it places an unacceptable strain on resources. I'd recommend that you turn off away announcing on your client, or you're liable to be forcibly removed by an operator. | 01:30 |
| ShapeShifter499 | sebsebseb, really? | 01:30 |

| rockhopper | headkase314, when i pressed sudo apt-get update, the une ppa comes in there | 01:48 |
| filo1234 | sinman: not at all | 01:48 |
| headkase314 | rockhopper, can you do a "sudo apt-get install unity"? | 01:48 |
| netsurf3 | rww another thing on the same subject. can these interact with external smtp servers at all? | 01:48 |
| headkase314 | rockhopper, and really, good luck with unity - it's not final yet from what I gather. | 01:49 |
| netsurf3 | i am curious if it were possible to have the mta email to my gmail account for example | 01:49 |
| rockhopper | it shows an error that Broken Packages | 01:49 |
| rww | netsurf3: theoretically, yes. In practice, users on residential connections are usually prevented from doing so by their ISP. | 01:49 |
| rww | netsurf3: ah. I think that's possible with a smarthost setup. I don't know how to do it, though. | 01:49 |
| rockhopper | headkase314, how to remove a perository ppa? | 01:50 |
| rockhopper | *repository | 01:50 |
| headkase314 | rockhopper, ok, go to System > Administration > Software Sources and under the "Other Software" tab find that source and remove it. | 01:50 |
| netsurf3 | rww so MTA, is there any additional setup i need to do to get error events emailed to me? | 01:51 |
| netsurf3 | I dont know anything about MTA so a source I can read up on would be nice too | 01:51 |
| filo1234 | sinman: on fstab you can see what partition is assigned for / /home and so on... type cat /etc/fstab | 01:51 |
| headkase314 | rockhopper, you can do this because you haven't installed anything from the ppa yet. If you had installed stuff from a ppa removing the source like that directly would still leave it's packages installed on your system. | 01:51 |
| rockhopper | Ok!! | 01:52 |
| headkase314 | rockhopper, after removing it do add-apt-repository with it again. If that fails again, go back to software sources and remove it again. Repeat until it adds correctly. | 01:52 |
| rockhopper | Ok! | 01:52 |
| rockhopper | headkase314, seems i'm getting a public key problem! | 01:53 |
| p1und3r | hey all, is there anyway to "unsudo" in the middle of a script | 01:53 |
| rww | netsurf3: If I remember correctly, I just installed postfix and set it for local mail delivery when it asked during setup, and it worked fine. | 01:54 |
| headkase314 | rockhopper, ok, remove under software sources again and try it later. It is seeming that launchpad is just having issues at the moment. So, bookmark the page -> https://launchpad.net/~canonical-dx-team/+archive/une and try later? | 01:54 |
| rww | !postfix | netsurf3 | 01:54 |
| ubottu | netsurf3: postfix is the default !MTA and !MDA on Ubuntu. For help, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto - See also !MailServer | 01:54 |
| rockhopper | headkase314, OK! thanks | 01:54 |
| sinman | filo1234: np got it | 01:54 |
| headkase314 | rockhopper, any time an add-apt-repository fails you always need to manually remove the line in software sources, that's just for your information ;) | 01:54 |
| rockhopper | ok | 01:55 |

| vbundi | ChogyDan yeah I guess I will try that | 01:59 |
| ohmy | i've tried ext2fs from seven to access my ext4 partition and it was really a bad idea, now i can"t access no seven nor lucid | 01:59 |
| headkase314 | rockhopper, to be exact the reason you need to manually remove the line in software sources is because when add-apt-repository fails its usually while retrieving the key. Without the key that source line will give you all sorts of authentication errors. So, removing the line and then readding tries to get the key again. If you just readded without removing the source then you would get the key properly but you | 01:59 |
| headkase314 | would have a duplicate source line. So, removing the line if the add fails is just the best thing to do. | 01:59 |
| rockhopper | Oh!! | 02:00 |

| ganjanaut | guess not | 02:06 |
| sebsebseb | ohmy:re installing Grub is not an easy thing to do, so its much easier to just re install Ubuntu, and when you do that, it will let you boot Windows 7 again as well, assuming that partition is ok still | 02:06 |
| ohmy | sebsebseb: when i've uninstalled ext2fs he asked me something like do you want to remove all fixed drives i've answered yes, after i've rebooted but no grub, only a message saying no module found | 02:06 |
| sebsebseb | ohmy: what probably happended is that the driver you treid to use, currupted your Ubuntu partition a bit | 02:06 |
| sebsebseb | ohmy: your Windows 7 partiton on the other hand, is probably fine still | 02:06 |
| sebsebseb | hi th0r :) | 02:07 |
| sebsebseb | ohmy: also by the way, even if a partition was deleted, which hasn't happended for you, but if this was to happen. data is still on hard disk, and there are programs that can access it useualy | 02:07 |

| sebsebseb | vbundi: ohmy has a simialr issue it seems | 02:12 |
| Emotard | sebsebseb last resort is use boot and nook to format the drive clean reinstall linux | 02:12 |
| sebsebseb | ohmy: when the computer is turned on, the bootloader shows, Grub right? ,but you try to boot up Ubuntu or Windows 7, and get an error message | 02:12 |
| lotus | BluesKaj: did that. When I go to change the volume, it changes the "front" volume until it's full, then raises the master volume. After the "Front" meter is full, the changes to the master have no effect. | 02:12 |
| sebsebseb | ? | 02:12 |
| Emotard | grub will be reinstalled clean and mbr wont be corrupt | 02:13 |
| sebsebseb | Emotard: your on about dban? dban doesn't need to be used for this | 02:13 |
| filo1234 | /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?) maybe this is important | 02:13 |
| lotus | BluesKaj: and in fact when I lower the "front" volume, it lowers the master volume until it's empty and then it starts to lower front, causing a decrease in decibles. | 02:13 |
| ohmy | sebsebseb: No, when i restart i can't see grub message at all (at least i cant see grub-pc menu) instead i got a back screen with can't find module | 02:14 |
| sebsebseb | ohmy: ok that means, that maybe your MBR has got currupted | 02:14 |
| Eug | hi there, just wondering if its possible to restart ubuntu without restarting computer | 02:14 |
| sebsebseb | ohmy: however the Windows 7 CD, should let you sort out the MBR, so that at least Windows 7 can still boot | 02:14 |
| sebsebseb | ohmy: well DVD | 02:14 |
| brandon420 | can anyone in here help me set up conky? | 02:14 |
| sebsebseb | vbundi: in your case, you got rid of /boot. Grub still shows, but you try to open up a partition, and get error message? | 02:15 |
| Emotard | but using the windows 7 cd to reinstall the mbr will stop you from installing ubuntu again | 02:15 |
| sebsebseb | Emotard: right, but | 02:15 |
| sebsebseb | Emotard: ohmy 's Ubuntu install is probably currupted anyway, because he/she used the driver in Windows for trying to access the Ext4 | 02:15 |
| Emotard | Fer point | 02:15 |
| sebsebseb | Emotard: also apparently ohmy coudn't even use the DVD to make Windows boot | 02:16 |

| sebsebseb | Emotard: what they done isn't that easy to fix, but I have ideas on how to do it :) | 02:18 |
| BluesKaj | lotus, the master volume and front volume are the same in a stereo 2 speaker setup , you have to configure the mastet volume separately for all channels in pulseauduio in multichannel systems afaik | 02:18 |
| filo1234 | Eug: but after some ugrades....if it is you need to reboot all system | 02:18 |
| Eug | ok | 02:19 |
| sebsebseb | ohe: ok welcome back :) | 02:19 |
| th0r | brandon420: does it do anything? | 02:19 |
| sebsebseb | ohmy: welcome back :) | 02:19 |
| ohmy | GOD it works | 02:19 |
| vbundi | sebsebseb: raid error | 02:19 |
| Eug | filo1234: is it still ok to install other programs? | 02:19 |
| sebsebseb | ohmy: What does? | 02:19 |
| Eug | without rebooting/ | 02:19 |
| ohmy | sebner, it works ! | 02:19 |
| vbundi | sebsebseb: ie. mistake | 02:19 |
| sebsebseb | !raid | vbundi | 02:19 |
| ubottu | vbundi: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 02:19 |
| sebsebseb | ohmy: you can boot up Ubuntu and Windows 7? | 02:20 |
| lotus | BluesKaj: That's probably my problem. I have a multi-channel soundcard but I'm only using the 2 standard ports for in and out. | 02:20 |
| brandon420 | th0r, context | 02:20 |
| brandon420 | being NULL. Please fix your program. | 02:20 |
| ohmy | sebsebseb, sudo grub-install --root-directory=/998554f7-1d46-4c2e-bc1b-18d8af586736 /dev/sda | 02:20 |
| sebsebseb | ohmy: Did you try and restore Grub? | 02:20 |
| BluesKaj | lotus, how many speakers are connected ? | 02:20 |
| filo1234 | Eug: yes | 02:20 |
| ohmy | sebsebseb, sudo grub-install --root-directory=/998554f7-1d46-4c2e-bc1b-18d8af586736 /dev/sda i can seegrub-pc menu and i can boot into lucid and seven | 02:20 |
| sebsebseb | ohmy: ok good, I guess won't need to do a load of partition stuff then :) | 02:20 |
| lotus | BluesKaj: two and a sub | 02:21 |
| lotus | but the sub is the one connected to the computer and the two speakers are through the sub | 02:21 |
| ohmy | sebsebseb, thanks to all of you, and specially yo EauLand, god, i wanted to kill myself few minutes ago :) | 02:21 |
| headkase314 | ohmy, this would be a good time to do a thorough backup | 02:21 |
| sebsebseb | ohmy: however heres's some advice. 1. don't use that driver in Windows, as you now know as well. 2. have your data backed up for example an external hard drive, hard disks can just fail and so on | 02:21 |
| ohmy | headkase314, indeed | 02:21 |
| Barridus | is there a way to control automount of usb devices on a per-device level? i have one device i would not like automounted, but the rest are convenient to keep that | 02:21 |
| reggi_au | hey folks | 02:21 |
| sebsebseb | ohmy: also Ubuntu can access Windows parititons anyway | 02:21 |
| sebsebseb | ohmy: so not much point for that driver | 02:21 |
| BluesKaj | lotus also if you have a volume ctrl on the speakers then i would use that as the final volume ctrl , leave everything in alsamixer cranked up | 02:22 |
| ohmy | sebsebseb, of course, i've never been afraid as the last two hours | 02:22 |
| zmy | hello | 02:23 |
| lotus | BluesKaj: And normally I do. However, my headphones ignore that volume control. | 02:23 |
| lotus | :( | 02:23 |
| Emotard | lol its good to have a backup drive | 02:23 |
| rsvp | when we create a bootable USB Ubuntu drive, does the format actually matter: FAT32 or ext4 ?? | 02:23 |
| reggi_au | would someone pls point me in the right direction? i'm want to know how to setup a network boot so I can network install windows xp home, pro, vista, run clonezilla, UBCD4WIN. This is mainly setup so I can support / troubleshoot / repair laptops and desktops. | 02:24 |
| Emotard | rsvp: i asume FAT32 being windows and ext4 being linux if you format and install onto FAT32 then the usb drive would still be compatible with windows and linux | 02:24 |
| Emotard | were as ext4 will only be compatible with linux | 02:25 |
| headkase314 | rsvp, also I don't think you can boot off a ext4 usb stick - I think it needs to be fat32 | 02:25 |
| headkase314 | rsvp, I'm fairly certain of that | 02:25 |
| latagore | Is there any reliable way to repair grub when something screws up | 02:26 |
| Barridus | having flash memory formatted ext4 is counterproductive anyways, no need for journaling etc | 02:26 |
| Emotard | lol latagore: there was just a hole convo about that | 02:26 |
| latagore | Emotard: I will now scroll up and read | 02:26 |
| BluesKaj | !grub | latagore | 02:26 |
| ubottu | latagore: 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. | 02:26 |
| Emotard | latagore it was this part sudo grub-install --root-directory=/998554f7-1d46-4c2e-bc1b-18d8af586736 /dev/sda | 02:27 |
| latagore | BluesKaj: None of the solutions on that howto page work for me | 02:27 |
| ethana3 | greetings, all-- i'm trying to update the bios of a dell dimension 4400 with ubuntu 10.04.1, but this requires putting a bios executable onto a floppy disk | 02:27 |
| Doyle | Ahhh, Grub2 is featured in Linux Journal this month... haven't gotten up the article yet | 02:27 |
| rsvp | Emotard and headkase314, thanks for your input: the interface for usb-creator-gtk was not specific about the format issue -- curious though, why a hard drive can boot from ext4 but NOT the flash drive -- what's technically behind this difference. | 02:28 |
| ethana3 | .......ubuntu isn't handling the floppy disk well at all. i accidentally the block device | 02:28 |
| latagore | Emotard: That command makes absolutely no sense to me; I'm not sure if I have a drive with the same ID | 02:28 |
| BluesKaj | latagore, then tell us what the state of your grub is , so we can try to help | 02:29 |
| reggi_au | would someone pls point me in the right direction? i'm want to know how to setup a network boot so I can network install windows xp home, pro, vista, run clonezilla, UBCD4WIN. This is mainly setup so I can support / troubleshoot / repair laptops and desktops. | 02:29 |
| ethana3 | i've formatted the thing using fdutils, but I can't for the life of me mount it like normal | 02:29 |
| Emotard | rsvp: that one i do not know its a very good qustion to search for really | 02:29 |
| Emotard | rsvp: that one i will be reading about tomor lol | 02:29 |
| Dr_Willis | reggi_au: for network booting/installing windows - see #windows but that may not even be possible. as for linux based os's its proberly possible. | 02:30 |
| latagore | BluesKaj: I ran my laptop recovery from the Grub menu out of curiousity of what it was; but I exited when I figured what out what it was (I didn't okay it) and then when I rebooted it, then Grub didn't recognize the partition Ubuntu was on | 02:30 |
| Dr_Willis | !install | reggi_au | 02:30 |
| ubottu | reggi_au: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 02:30 |
| Barridus | is there a way to control usb automount? everything's moved around since the last time i ran ubuntu | 02:30 |
| rsvp | Emotard, very curious indeed, thanks again! | 02:30 |
| headkase314 | ethana3, you are in dangerous territory trying to update your computers BIOS without Windows. Be very certain of what you are doing. | 02:30 |
| ethana3 | headkase314: this particular method does not require windows | 02:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Barridus: give the usb drives a proper Label and they should mount to /media/LabelName | 02:30 |
| Blue1 | latagore: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=314 | 02:31 |
| ethana3 | ....but I do require being able to like, put a file onto the floppy drive. | 02:31 |
| Steve132 | So, does anyone else have a weird problem with gedit where the embedded terminal colorscheme doesn't match the system default color scheme | 02:31 |
| Steve132 | ? | 02:31 |
| filo1234 | ethana3: but require an executable file on a floppy :D | 02:31 |
| Barridus | Dr_Willis, i meant controlling whether or not it does automount, it works fine i just want to avoid it in certain cases | 02:31 |
| headkase314 | ethana3, almost all BIOS flashing tools are Windows based. Is it DOS? And will it not fail and break your computer if you use FreeDOS? You need to know exactly before hand. | 02:31 |
| ethana3 | it said it was a bios executable | 02:31 |
| reggi_au | thanks Dr_Willis | 02:31 |
| Emotard | latagore what state is your grub in ? | 02:31 |
| latagore | Emotard: How do you want me to answer that | 02:32 |
| ethana3 | hmm | 02:32 |
| filo1234 | ethana3: you need a flasher file for your bios on a floppy | 02:32 |
| headkase314 | ethana3, a failed BIOS update can require you to send your computer back to Dell through the mail for the factory to fix. If the BIOS update fails there is an actual chip on the mainboard that needs to be pulled and replaced. | 02:32 |
| Blue1 | latagore: I have successfully used that procedure several times, and others have as well. that seems to work | 02:32 |
| Emotard | latagore: Main reason you want to reinstall grub | 02:32 |
| ethana3 | filo1234: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&releaseid=R45077&SystemID=DIM_PNT_P4_4400&servicetag=&os=BIOSA&osl=en&deviceid=308&devlib=0&typecnt=0&vercnt=6&catid=-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=0&libid=1&typeid=-1&dateid=-1&formatid=-1&source=-1&fileid=53022 | 02:33 |
| filo1234 | headkase314: well said | 02:33 |
| Emotard | latagore: has some thing scred up ? you didant specify what | 02:33 |
| Emotard | screwed | 02:33 |
| BluesKaj | latagore, I have to ask the obvious , did you sudo update-grub ? | 02:33 |
| latagore | Emotard: Grub is expecting a partition | 02:33 |
| latagore | Emotard: The partition is there but it can't see it | 02:33 |
| Dr_Willis | ethana3: some times you go into the bios and theres a menu item that you select and then it finds/searches for the bios updates. | 02:33 |
| filo1234 | and i think that it is an OT question here.. | 02:34 |
| latagore | BluesKaj: Can't update grub if I'm not running Linux | 02:34 |
| Blue1 | latagore: good luck with that | 02:34 |
| blunt33232 | Ok, I've probably asked this many times. Is there a very similar DVD burning software for Ubuntu similar to "ConvertXToDVD" ? | 02:34 |
| Emotard | latagore: you can run linux using the live CD | 02:34 |
| BluesKaj | latagore, well, I didn't know that | 02:34 |
| ethana3 | right now i'm just trying to get ubuntu to mount a floppy drive. | 02:34 |
| ethana3 | that's the question at hand | 02:34 |
| blunt33232 | I will copy/paste this in my notebook so I don't forget | 02:34 |
| headkase314 | ethana3, now if you're on Windows the BIOS updating programs are almost always Windows based and usually you're pretty safe unless the power fails during the update - then you're also mailing your computer. | 02:35 |
| Barridus | is there a way to control usb automount? everything's moved around since the last time i ran ubuntu | 02:35 |
| latagore | Blue1: I'm hoping it will run update-grub when it installs again; but I'll have to try when I actually have the live CD :/ | 02:35 |
| BluesKaj | ok, I'll back off looks like we're getting a lotta cooks in the this kitchen , looking at grub | 02:35 |
| latagore | Emotard: I don't got a copy on hand at the moment | 02:35 |
| ethana3 | headkase314: i'm not asking for help updating a bios, i just need ubuntu to mount a floppy | 02:35 |
| Dr_Willis | blunt33232: To convert 'video' to DVD compatable formats and generate a dvd.iso file i burn to dvd for DVD players. i tend to use 'DeVeDe' Never seen/used ConvertXToDVD | 02:35 |
| Blue1 | latagore: if you follow the recipe I gave you http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=314 it should work. | 02:35 |
| Masshuu | T.T " This aptitude does not have Super Cow Powers." | 02:36 |
| latagore | Blue1: Yeah, I'm keeping the webpage for future reference | 02:36 |
| Masshuu | I don't want it then | 02:36 |
| blunt33232 | I have DEVEDE and never had success | 02:36 |
| headkase314 | ethana3, ok, just be careful dude, a failed update when you get to that step would be a disaster. | 02:36 |
| blunt33232 | I mean | 02:36 |
| blunt33232 | Alright this is what happened with Devede | 02:36 |
| ethana3 | every bios and firmware update i've ever done was a standalone thing | 02:36 |
| Dr_Willis | blunt33232: i use Devede all the time with no real problems. | 02:36 |

| Emotard | latagore once you got the live cd im sure u will sort it | 02:36 |
| blunt33232 | I burn it both, PAL and NTSC and it doesn't work for EVERY DVD player | 02:36 |
| blunt33232 | but for most it does | 02:36 |
| latagore | Emotard: do I just change to a different tty or whatever when I get the "Run from this CD, Install onto hard disk..."? | 02:37 |
| Dr_Willis | blunt33232: Ive had DVD players (cheap junky ones) that refuse to play SOME comercialy made (from the stores) dvd's - some are just picky (or junky) | 02:37 |
| headkase314 | ethana3, does this guide help for mounting the floppy -> http://www.fdlinux.com/mountfloppyhowto.html#Examples | 02:37 |
| BluesKaj | blunt33232, look into am app called tovid | 02:37 |
| BluesKaj | an app | 02:37 |
| BluesKaj | !tovid | 02:38 |
| blunt33232 | exactly Dr_Willis this one was $20 | 02:38 |
| Dr_Willis | blunt33232: Now you know why it was only $20 | 02:38 |
| Emotard | latagore Yes / or follow the steps on blue1 link | 02:38 |
| Blue1 | Dr_Willis: I got a lot of "quality challenged" B movies on dvd like 12 movies for $5 at wally's world - they all seem to work, thus far. | 02:38 |
| Dr_Willis | blunt33232: thats not really a fault of DeVeDE | 02:39 |
| blunt33232 | yea | 02:39 |
| latagore | Emotard: It asks to change to a terminal but I can't boot up Ubuntu from the CD to run gnome-terminal | 02:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Blue1: these $25 dvd players grandma gave out at Xmas wouldent play a lot of DVD's like the StarWars DVD's and so forth.. very annoying. | 02:39 |
| blunt33232 | well | 02:39 |
| blunt33232 | thank you for all your help everyone | 02:39 |
| blunt33232 | um | 02:39 |
| Dr_Willis | blunt33232: it could be they dont like DVD+r or DVD-r or similer quirks also | 02:40 |
| bart_ | hi all, i bought an Ubuntu/Dell last week, and have managed to get the video working correctly (the default proprietary drivers blow) and have gotten compiz to work somewhat. for some reason i have only one desktop and it wont let me change it in compiz. anyone else have that problem? | 02:40 |
| Emotard | latagore: so you cant boot from CD at all | 02:40 |
| soreau | bart_: The default driver is not proprietary | 02:40 |
| lingm | what is a recommended feed reader in gnome? | 02:40 |
| latagore | Emotard: I bet if I knew the command/boot option I could run Ubuntu as command line rather than GUI | 02:40 |
| blunt33232 | I'll try oh | 02:41 |
| Blue1 | lingm: rss reader? I use akregator which is for kde but works in gnome | 02:41 |
| blunt33232 | I didn't know that Dr_Willis | 02:41 |
| * ethana3 restarts | 02:41 | |
| soreau | bart_: Compiz uses viewports, not desktops. You want to have desktops always set to 1 then change the horizontal size instead | 02:41 |
| bart_ | soreau, the default one on the ubuntu install disk | 02:41 |
| blunt33232 | Thanks Dr_Willis | 02:41 |
| soreau | bart_: Yes, it is not a proprietary driver | 02:41 |
| lingm | Blue1, yes, but i don't want to get all the extra libraries. i'd rather a gnome/gtk based app | 02:41 |
| Emotard | latagore: its a strange one | 02:42 |
| sarthor | HI, is there any free linux based database software that can handle the supermarket pos/accounting having server and client, and can support printer, barcode readers etc. | 02:42 |
| Blue1 | lingm: understandable | 02:42 |
| latagore | Emotard: I can't get another Linux distro to work with GUI but I can make the command line work on that distro so that's just my assumption | 02:42 |
| blunt33232 | Question Dr_Willis | 02:42 |
| blunt33232 | for common DVD players, what format should I use? | 02:42 |
| doc|home | hello, I'm trying to migrate from a gentoo .evolution directory to evolution under ubuntu. I don't have a backup archive. just the .evolution dir. Anyone got any info on how to convert the directory to match? | 02:42 |
| === nso95 is now known as Nathan1995 | ||
| israfel | So you change the Compiz setting for how many desktops and it doesn't update? | 02:42 |
| bart_ | soreau, been there, done that, but it only lets me choose the first one in the desktop switcher | 02:43 |
| blunt33232 | PAL or NTSC | 02:43 |
| BluesKaj | sarthor, there's an old program that some supermarkets still use , unix based ..it's called ELVIS | 02:43 |
| soreau | bart_: What desktop switcher? | 02:43 |
| Dr_Willis | blunt33232: \it depends on what your TV does.. Its NTSC here in america. | 02:43 |
| Emotard | Latagore: is all you want todo is reinstall grub if so then the live disc and the links given should work | 02:43 |
| Blue1 | lingm: firefox seems to be able to handle rss feeds. I have used liferea -- it's okay. | 02:43 |
| === ToAsTcfh_ is now known as ToAsTcfh | ||

| bart_ | gnome desktop switcher? | 02:43 |
| Emotard | latalgore: boot from disc using ubuntu live CD, and follow the step by step for reinstalling grub/grub update | 02:44 |
| bart_ | What they work the workspace switcher | 02:44 |
| soreau | bart_: compiz uses viewports which are part of the EMWH spec. If any app only supports desktops and not viewports, it has missing functionality and should be fixed | 02:44 |
| israfel | latagore, There's many linux pocket guides that give almost all of the commands. It's not too hard to do. | 02:44 |
| Blue1 | soreau: we won't get into flamewars put compiz has documentation issues | 02:45 |
| lingm | Blue1, didn't know firefox read rss too - built in or through a plugin? | 02:45 |
| [sleepy] | im trying to uninstall all this itunes crap on ubuntu and the uninstall keeps on freezing up | 02:45 |

| ddilinger | anyone familiar with the flash video player stuttering(in firefox and chrome, in multiple sites like vimeo and youtube) not directly related to buffering? By that i mean the buffer clearly indicates more of the video is downloaded(perhaps 80% downloaded and i'm viewing at 20%), it is in some way related though because once the file is completely downloaded all stuttering stops | 02:48 |
| israfel | latagore, I believe the most popular one is irssi | 02:48 |
| soreau | bart_: then there is the Viewport Switcher plugin you can use to scroll-on-desktop to switch vps | 02:48 |
| ddilinger | or more precisecly, familiar with how to fix the flash player stuttering in that instance | 02:49 |
| BluesKaj | seanp2k, sudo /usr/bin/cpufreq-set -g performance or ondemand or whatever setting you want | 02:49 |
| BluesKaj | seanp2k, it only works for a session tho | 02:49 |
| israfel | sarthor, Do you not want to use MySQL? | 02:49 |
| lingm | ddilinger, no, but you can try and debug it by playing the half-loaded cached flash file for a start | 02:49 |
| Emotard | ddilinger: you tryed to update your video drivers | 02:49 |
| heffay | kubuntu 10.04 is not identifying my wacom digitizer in my hp tc4200 tablet pc. can someone assist me with troubleshooting? everything ive found online so far says it should just work. | 02:49 |

| ddilinger | Emotard: yea, i updated the nvidia driver last week, using their binary driver. | 02:50 |
| ddilinger | lingm: playing the half-loaded file is where the stuttering comes in, or how do you mean? | 02:50 |
| latagore | israfel: What are you directing me to exactly | 02:50 |
| Emotard | ddilinger: and b4 you did this was the streaming working ok | 02:50 |
| ddilinger | Emotard: it was having problems before that as well, its been having this issue for awhile now, just finally getting annoyed and trying to fix it | 02:50 |
| BluesKaj | seanp2k, I went into admin power manager and dumped the power profiles i didn't want | 02:51 |
| lingm | ddilinger, play the cached file. for firefox it'll be somewhere in ~/.mozilla/firefox/etc. | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | ddilinger: i always use some extension to download the flash video, then play it also. similer to what lingm suggests | 02:52 |

| blunt3232 | I'm looking to copy a DVD. I only have 2 folders of files, It's not a single file like a movie torrent, it's "Audio_TS" and "Video_TS" ...how do I make an exact copy with Ubuntu. | 02:57 |
| mikeyvee | hey guys i tried sudo rmdir blah and it says it cant becuause its not empty | 02:57 |
| lingm | mikau_, rm -r | 02:57 |
| rww | mikeyvee: try sudo rm -r instead | 02:57 |
| lingm | misfire ;) | 02:57 |
| Doyle | Lances: Nosql isn't something you can use, it's gerneralization for dbs that don't utilize key relationship structures like sql | 02:58 |

| mikeyvee | how can i change the name of a dir in the terminal | 02:58 |
| rww | mv oldname newname | 02:58 |

| Lances | Doyle,but i hear about nosql is very popularity.such as mongodb | 02:59 |
| BluesKaj | tvtime with family | 02:59 |
| latagore | israfel: I don't even understand why you referred me to a pocket guide | 03:00 |
| Lances | It's better than normal relationship database | 03:00 |
| Doyle | Lances: it's a catchphraise used by the industry to promote alternate db methods than just sql... nosql is a bad term that really represents many other types of db structures. | 03:01 |
| mikeyvee | thank th0r | 03:01 |
| blunt3232 | How do I open K9Copy Blue1 | 03:01 |
| blunt3232 | nvm | 03:01 |
| Doyle | Lances: rel dbs are useful, and so are document db like mongo for example, if the application is document centric | 03:01 |
| israfel | latagore, You said you wanted to use the command line instead. | 03:01 |
| latagore | israfel: I said I wanted to boot to a command line of Ubuntu | 03:02 |
| Doyle | Lances: it's up to the programmer to decide which db or combination of db strategies to employ for the application. | 03:02 |

| redblacktree | I am attempting a new ubuntu installation on a new setup (friend's old machine, my new hard drives) -- After the installation completes, it asks to reboot, I click the "reboot" button, and off it goes. | 03:06 |
| Lances | Doyle, oh I understand. It may only be adapted in certain scenarios | 03:06 |
| redblacktree | But it doesn't make it very far into the boot process | 03:06 |
| Blue1 | redblacktree: did you do a power off reboot? | 03:06 |
| redblacktree | I've booted again from the USB stick used to install it, but I don't know where to start troubleshooting the boot problem with the installation. By the way, I've installed twice now, and rebooted several times. | 03:06 |
| latagore | israfel: No more Linux for today; I'll figure it out from Google or something | 03:07 |
| Doyle | Lances: exactly, no one can say mysql is better than mongo or couch is better then cassandra, it's all relative. | 03:07 |
| redblacktree | Blue1: yep. rebooted using Ctrl-Alt-Del, as well as hard power off | 03:07 |
| redblacktree | Blue1: I've given it as much as 15 minutes | 03:07 |
| redblacktree | Blue1: all I get is a blinking cursor | 03:07 |
| Blue1 | redblacktree: does it just loop, or what does it do? have you tried to ctrl+alt+f1 to see if you can get console? | 03:08 |
| redblacktree | Blue1: it does not loop. It will hang on a blinking cursor indefinitely. The machine is still responding, in that num lock still works and ctrl-alt-del will cause a reboot | 03:08 |
| redblacktree | Blue1: I have tried ctrl-alt-f1, no console | 03:09 |
| redblacktree | I'm going to try that one again, after waiting a solid 2 minutes | 03:09 |
| redblacktree | ctrl-alt-f1 that is | 03:09 |
| Blue1 | redblacktree: couple of questions -- what is the boot device? hard drive, usb device? did you install grub to the proper drive (NOT partition?) | 03:10 |
| switz_ | Hey guys I have a problem where whenever I open an application now it maximizes so that I can't see the close maximize minimize buttons anymore. | 03:10 |
| redblacktree | Blue1: Boot device is two drives, mirrored raid using nvraid on an abn32-sli | 03:10 |
| redblacktree | Blue1: I accepted all of the defaults for installation | 03:11 |
| redblacktree | Blue1: I didn't make any choices about where to install grub | 03:11 |
| redblacktree | that is, abn32-sli motherboard | 03:11 |
| Doyle | switz_: set the task bar to autohide from it's properties | 03:12 |
| Blue1 | redblacktree: oy vey I am a simple ide or sata guy I have never played with raid -- sorry beyond my knowledge level. someone with more experience might be able to help. this may or may not help: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=314 YMMV applies. | 03:12 |
| redblacktree | I rebooted and waited more than 2 minutes, tried ctrl-alt-f1, no console | 03:12 |
| redblacktree | Blue1: ok. I think maybe the thing to do now is try the install again, and configure it manually | 03:12 |
| sinman | whats up with the #ubuntu-unregg channel. I done register but keep going into that channel | 03:13 |
| redblacktree | Blue1: rather than accepting the defaults | 03:13 |
| switz_ | doyle i tried that it just opens bigger. | 03:13 |
| redblacktree | Blue1: thanks for your help | 03:13 |
| Blue1 | redblacktree: try that worth a try and it only takes a few minutes | 03:13 |
| redblacktree | Blue1: yeah, it's nice when it's a new setup. You can always blow everything away and try again | 03:13 |
| mzuverink | after replacing my ddclient.conf with the personalized one, do I have do anything else,or will it carry out its duties without my intervention? | 03:14 |
| Blue1 | redblacktree: yes, I'd give that a shot, nothing to lose but it might fix it. | 03:14 |
| sinman | k now the reason i'm here I have partition that is pointing to /home/my_username/Downloads but when I go into my home folder that folder is locked, how can i unlock that folder so I can sue them | 03:14 |
| iflema | sinman did you identify yourself e.g. /msg nickserv identify [password] | 03:15 |
| Blue1 | sinman: sounds like a permissions problem | 03:15 |
| sinman | ifkema yes I did laast night and did what the email said | 03:15 |
| Doyle | switz_: use Alt+Space to see the window menu, then if you cant see it, press M to select Move | 03:15 |
| sinman | Blue1: how do I fix that | 03:15 |
| Blue1 | sinman: chmod | 03:15 |
| headkase314 | Blue1, chown? | 03:15 |
| Blue1 | sinman: chown changes the owner, chmod changes the permissions | 03:16 |
| sinman | blue1: k | 03:16 |
| Doyle | sinman: be careful of chown... don't chown / for example... it breaks stuff | 03:16 |
| sinman | the current owner is root and not the username | 03:17 |
| Blue1 | sinman: try this: ls -l | grep Download and paste the output here. | 03:17 |

| sinman | Blue1 | 03:18 |
| wasnik | could someone help | 03:18 |

| ubottu | wasnik: 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. :-) | 03:19 |
| wasnik | i deleted the 24.6.32-24 generic packages and now cannot connect using wicd | 03:19 |
| Blue1 | sinman: let's do this: sudo chown -R <youruserid> Downloads | 03:20 |
| sinman | k | 03:20 |
| Doyle | switz_: ok, change your screen resolution to something else then back, it should adjust the window sizes of all your open apps | 03:20 |
| wasnik | hi Bluel are you talking to me | 03:21 |
| redblacktree | ok, question: I chose "advanced options" on the last setp of installation, and I have some bootloader options. Under "Device for boot loader installation:" it lists /dev/sda -- which device is this? | 03:21 |
| Blue1 | wasnik: no helping sinman | 03:21 |
| Doyle | wasnik: why did you delete it? | 03:21 |
| Blue1 | redblacktree: that's wher eyou want to install the bootloader, on the device NOT a partition | 03:21 |
| redblacktree | I can also select what appears to be a more specific device: "/dev/mapper/nvidia_jajadejc Linux device-mapper (mirror) (1.0 TB) | 03:22 |
| simpleblue1 | likely the hard drive red : drive c | 03:22 |
| redblacktree | Blue1: ok, so I should leave this alone then | 03:22 |
| wasnik | i was havin no sound on my computer, so i read on ubuntu forum i am supposed to add these modules | 03:22 |
| wasnik | so i added some extra modules | 03:22 |
| Blue1 | redblacktree: if it says /dev/sda yes | 03:22 |
| redblacktree | or perhaps, again, it's a question for someone with raid exp. | 03:22 |
| wasnik | and wicd stopped working | 03:22 |
| Blue1 | redblacktree: yeah that might be an issue -- not certain | 03:22 |
| uchobby | I am also looking for help with sound wasnik | 03:23 |
| sinman | Blue1: I done it drwxr-xr-x 3 bjlvrch root 4096 2010-09-06 21:12 Downloads | 03:23 |
| my_haz | how do i find the chipset of my wifi card, `lsusb` just show "Ralink" | 03:23 |
| Blue1 | sinman: can you now access that? | 03:23 |
| redblacktree | Blue1: Thanks again for your help. I'm going to leave it installing and check on it in the morning. | 03:23 |
| redblacktree | Take care, all. | 03:23 |
| Blue1 | redblacktree: best of luck | 03:23 |
| sinman | yes I have about 3 other partitions for different type of storage do I do those the same way except put their name in the place of Downloads? | 03:25 |
| uchobby | where should I start looking for sound issues on my 10.04? | 03:25 |
| wasnik | Doyle u there | 03:25 |
| Blue1 | sinman: well the question really is, what did you do to change the owner from yourself to root? | 03:25 |
| Doyle | yea... say my name when you talk to me or I won't see it... I'm in other channels also | 03:25 |
| Doyle | wasnik: ok, gotcha, just a minute | 03:26 |
| sinman | Blue1: nothing, it done it afgter I had installed ubuntu using custom partitions | 03:26 |
| Doyle | wasnik: have you uninstalled and reinstalled wicd? start with the easy stuff I guess | 03:27 |
| wasnik | nope didnt do that | 03:27 |
| Doyle | wasnik: go for it, let me know what happens | 03:27 |
| wasnik | doyle: ok sure | 03:27 |
| Blue1 | sinman: well that's the general procedure for changing the owner to whatever - be careful doing that with system files or you may find that linux no longer works correctly. but if you stick to user files, you should be gtg | 03:27 |
| sinman | Blue1: i will because i need acces for these particuliarpartition since I set them up for storage | 03:28 |
| Blue1 | sinman: just be careful out there. | 03:29 |
| Blue1 | okay going to take a break | 03:29 |
| sinman | Blue1: I will, because if I have any tyupe of questions I'll ask here first so I don't screw nothing up while I'm learning | 03:29 |
| sinman | cd /Videos | 03:30 |
| Blue1 | sinman: dont be araid to ask, even if it seems trivial -- that's how you learn. | 03:30 |
| sinman | oops forgot to switch over to the terminal. lol | 03:30 |
| sinman | Blue1: I will, because I want to get around in linux as good as I did with windows but better, so I have a long road ahead of me on learning Linux | 03:31 |
| Blue1 | sinman: time and patience. I am 5 years out from windows now. | 03:32 |

| rww | Mr_Sir: the command-line Ubuntu system and server-related packages, regardless of whether you got them from a Server or Desktop CD, are supported for five years. Anything else, including graphical stuff, is not. | 04:03 |

| mobasher | chown moe:moe /home/moe | 04:26 |
| pfifo | mobasher, you home directory looks fine, can you reproduce the permission error? | 04:27 |
| Random832 | and what's actually _wrong_ with the permissions | 04:27 |
| mobasher | chmod 644 /home/moe | 04:27 |
| Random832 | uh, it should be 755 for a directory not 644 | 04:27 |
| mobasher | Random832 >>aha..okay there is the prblem... | 04:27 |
| mobasher | here is the home drive permissions | 04:27 |
| mobasher | http://pastebin.com/L6bigReA | 04:27 |
| Random832 | that's... 0700 - when did you do 0700? | 04:28 |
| Random832 | not that there's anything wrong with 0700 in particular, but i don't see anything indicating you did 644 | 04:28 |
| mobasher | almost messed up my desktop i must have did 700 or something too | 04:28 |

| mobasher | okay great | 04:32 |

| Guest34614 | hi | 04:53 |
| Guest34614 | do you like this? | 04:53 |
| Guest34614 | http://190.244.96.174/hotmail/login.php | 04:53 |
| mobasher | walterj89>> yea..it's cool...i don't do too much at home..just horsing around on the net and chat etc | 04:53 |
| walterj89_ | Actually a question: is there something that works more like remote desktop in Linux... I dont mean VNC. Like shell access with X excuted on the remote machine | 04:53 |
| mobasher | walterj89> tightvnc | 04:54 |
| infid | how come when i enter SMPT info in thunderbird it works, but when i enter the same smtp info in Evolution it refuses to send mail? | 04:54 |
| Guest34614 | walterj89_: how's that different to vnc? | 04:54 |
| walterj89_ | ya.. i use tightvnc all the time but it's just pictures of the desktop transfered | 04:54 |
| pfifo | Guest34614, im not impressed | 04:54 |
| Guest34614 | and you want? | 04:54 |
| dpac_ | Guest34614: Wow! Phishing attempt? | 04:54 |
| Guest34614 | dpac_: just showing it | 04:55 |
| mobasher | walterj89> ssh access is there if u want shell and security | 04:55 |
| walterj89_ | Remote Desktop comunicates more mouse movements and clicks so its snappier because of that... VNC depends on taking pictures of the desktop and transfering it | 04:55 |
| intmed | pfifo: ok thanks | 04:55 |
| walterj89_ | Thants the main difference | 04:55 |
| Guest34614 | walterj89_: oh, you mean without sending pictures? | 04:55 |
| Guest34614 | VNC without pictures? synergy+ | 04:55 |
| mobasher | walterj89_, not sure mate i haven't tried vnc yet either... | 04:56 |
| dpac_ | walterj89_: I am almost sure VNC has mouse communication too | 04:57 |

| Guest34614 | walterj89_: what do you want it for? | 04:57 |
| Guest29705 | anyone know why I keep getting similar errors when installing/uninstalling? | 04:57 |
| walterj89_ | if your on a pro windows box, compairing the 2 there are some differences that are nice... remote desktop is just more like actually having the server desktop right on your own and VNC is more like just transfering pictures... the difference isnt actually the big | 04:58 |
| simpleblue | i'd like to learn how to use the 'terminal'. i'm a beginner, and have no clue. is there any documentation for learners someone could suggest? | 04:58 |
| Guest34614 | walterj89_: oh, you mean a better VNC? | 04:58 |
| walterj89_ | dpac: ya Ultra Vnc has a nice driver that does some of those things | 04:58 |
| Guest34614 | idk... you have to look for the best VNC server and client out there | 04:59 |
| Guest34614 | or look for other protocols | 04:59 |
| walterj89_ | ultravnc is probably it. | 04:59 |

| white_magic | i re-installed grub2 following instructions from here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 . however, i forgot to unmount before rebooting. could that have been the reason why grub still didn't work right at all? | 05:06 |
| Pelo | Chr|s, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop and you won'T need to clean insall it , you'lljust need to remove the ubuntu-destop pakcages | 05:06 |
| Chr|s | ahh thanks guys | 05:06 |
| nimbiotics | Zelozelos: How do i make it a script? just save a text file and make it executable? | 05:06 |
| white_magic | also, when i re-install grub2, i get this error message: cannot open '/boot/grub/device.map'.. | 05:06 |

| Chr|s | thanks | 05:07 |
| white_magic | there are many pastebins.. one is www.pastebin.ca | 05:07 |
| Pelo | Chr|s, in a terminal not in the chat window | 05:07 |
| pfifo | white_magic, no, partitions get unmounted on reboot | 05:07 |
| Zelozelos | nimbiotics, use gedit, type the command, save it somewhere u can find it, find it, right click goto properties, the permissions tab , check make executable | 05:07 |
| walterj89_ | mobasher .. the java viewer is very convenent, although you should try to not use defualt ports if you make it accessable to the internet.. I get people tying to connect to my VNC daily for all ove the place | 05:07 |
| Chr|s | Pelo: Yes I know. | 05:07 |
| white_magic | pfifo, what do you think might have been at fault then? i wonder what i did wrong with my grub2 reinstallation | 05:07 |
| nimbiotics | Zelozelos: thanks! | 05:07 |
| mobasher | walterj89_, lol | 05:08 |
| Zelozelos | yvw nimbiotics | 05:08 |

| cuddlefish | white_magic: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com is preferred in #ubuntu | 05:08 |
| mobasher | walterj89_, i just installed it not sure how to execute it | 05:08 |

| Zelozelos | nimbiotics, if u prefer, open a terminal, navigate to the file, type chmod (filename) a+x | 05:08 |
| white_magic | well, grub flips out and i can't really read it properly because the font size and screen formatting is kind of not right | 05:08 |
| Mr_Sir | rww: ah so it's just the graphical packages that aren't supported for four years? | 05:08 |
| white_magic | suffice it to say im in live 9.04 again and i want to reinstall it properly this time.. | 05:09 |
| Guest29705 | http://pastebin.ca/1934796 | 05:09 |
| white_magic | i did 'mount /dev/sda6 /mnt' and it said 'installation finished. no error reported'.. | 05:09 |
| Mr_Sir | rww: sorry.. a bit late | 05:09 |
| white_magic | but im sure i i reboot, there will definitely be a problem | 05:09 |
| itsux2bu | is grub text based only? | 05:09 |
| white_magic | oh.. also, when i run sudo fdisk -l, it says at the botton 'artition table entires are not in disk order'.. | 05:10 |

| walterj89_ | IPv3 seriously? IPv4 is old enough... although I have seen a linux box commicate with just mac address's | 05:41 |
| Loshki | ratdog: that's nasty. How did you get that error to manifest? | 05:41 |
| white_magic | wait, i didn't run apt-get install grub & update-grub.. but i thought it would be enough if i ran grub-install & made sure that grub.cfg was there | 05:41 |
| sinman | I have a quick question on virtual desktops. How can I give each desktop their own background and not share the same background? | 05:41 |
| mickster04 | pfifo: there is no v3 | 05:41 |
| pfifo | then what about v2? | 05:41 |
| valbaca | pfifo, there's only ipv4 and ipv6 | 05:42 |
| walterj89_ | pfifo... lol IPv4 is the only one that will work | 05:42 |
| white_magic | or wait, i think the tutorial intends for me to use apt-get install grub & update-grub after i get commandline access to my ubuntu install | 05:42 |
| mickster04 | pfifo: Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) is the fourth revision in the development of the Internet Protocol (IP) and it is the first version of the protocol to be widely deployed. | 05:42 |
| walterj89_ | IPv2 was like... the 70's 80's when there were about 10 computers bein connected | 05:42 |
| Loshki | pfifo: Anything except ipv4 isn't gonna happen. But maybe we can fix your broken ipv4. What exactly do you mean by 'broken'.... | 05:42 |
| pfifo | but it dosent work so i need version 3 or 2, just for a little bit though | 05:42 |
| === ZachK_ is now known as zkriesse | ||
| mickster04 | pfifo: neither will work | 05:42 |
| dpac_ | white_magic: Well, you should've tried apt-get install grub. That would've freshly installed the grub. No need to upgrade it to grub2 yet. Just make sure you can boot into your ubuntu and you can upgrade to grub2 later on. | 05:43 |
| white_magic | ok | 05:43 |
| walterj89_ | pfofp I would love to see ipv2 or 3 working.. just for kicks | 05:43 |
| white_magic | i'll try this again | 05:43 |
| dpac_ | pfifo: Why don't you try to fix your ipv4 | 05:43 |
| pfifo | I mean my IPv4 just sits on the couch all day and wants more money. | 05:44 |
| * Loshki wonders if pfifo is trolling? | 05:44 | |
| sinman | how can I get each virtual desktop to have a different background? | 05:44 |
| walterj89_ | pfofp... if you really really wanted to, you can maybe connect to your router by mac address, and it will do all the IPv4 communicating.. but that is a very very big maybe | 05:44 |
| mickster04 | walterj89_: who are you talking to? | 05:45 |

| mickster04 | jp_: you can't, a hard drive is a size and thats it:p | 05:59 |
| dpac_ | Guest29705: Thats because the application remains there only until the sound is played. As soon as the sound is stopped, the program disappears from the list | 05:59 |

| krishnandu | Hey guys how to install java..?? I used sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-plugin. Whats wrong..?? I used this command many times before. But not working now | 06:04 |
| Blue1 | Anas: not fastest way, but it avoids a lot of problems and issues like you are having with x | 06:04 |
| jp_ | so how would i set up a dual boot from two drives? | 06:04 |
| Guest29705 | opps dpac_: I use mplayer for videos, exaile for music (trying to get xmms2 to install and run) and chromium for pandora and youtube | 06:04 |
| Karen_m | jp, install windows on one, ubuntu on another, after you're done... sudo update-grub | 06:04 |
| walterj89_ | jp dual boot from 2 drives isnt too bad | 06:04 |
| Anas | mean i should to backup ? | 06:05 |
| gunerh | hullo | 06:05 |
| dmex | Karen_m: you can backup apt. | 06:05 |
| jp_ | I have windows on a 80GB drive and ubuntu on a 500GB drive | 06:05 |
| Karen_m | dmex, how? | 06:05 |
| sarai | i get this with sensors command in terminal | 06:05 |
| Anas | can i marege the partion | 06:05 |
| sarai | sarai@sarai-laptop:~$ sensors | 06:05 |
| sarai | acpitz-virtual-0 | 06:05 |
| sarai | Adapter: Virtual device | 06:05 |
| sarai | temp1: +64.0°C (crit = +94.0°C) | 06:05 |
| FloodBot1 | sarai: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:05 |
| dpac_ | Guest29705: Thats weird. Only few seconds of audio plays, you mean, doesn't matter which player you use? | 06:05 |
| jp_ | if i install one then the other it won't give me the option to dualboot when i power up | 06:05 |
| Anas | my english is so bad | 06:05 |
| Guest29705 | any program and it gets about 10-20 seconds of audio and then goes silent | 06:05 |
| walterj89_ | jp depending on what bootloader uyou want to use, that part is well documented everywhere | 06:05 |
| krishnandu | Hey guys how to install java..?? I used sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-plugin. Whats wrong..?? I used this command many times before. But not working now | 06:05 |
| jp_ | because i had win7 installed then on the 500gb drive i installed 10.04 and it wouldn't let me choose what OS to boot from | 06:06 |
| Guest29705 | dpac_: any program and it gets about 10-20 seconds of audio and then goes silent | 06:06 |
| Sakara | The only error in the Xorg log is "Intel(0): Failed to initialize kernel memory manager" not sure if this is helpful to diagnose why x is unresponsive after an upgrade | 06:06 |
| bastidrazor | !java | krishnandu ::its in the partner repo | 06:06 |
| ubottu | krishnandu ::its in the partner repo: 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. | 06:06 |
| dpac_ | Guest29705: Its really weird. It should've been either no sound or full sound. | 06:06 |
| krishnandu | bastidrazor, thanks..!! | 06:06 |
| holocene | what is main reason for backing up /etc? | 06:07 |
| walterj89_ | jp the one different part you may find is that you may need to go into your bios and select your 500gb hard drive with ubuntu if you want to use that bootloader, or select the windows harddrive if you want to use the windows bootloader | 06:07 |
| bastidrazor | krishnandu: you're welcome | 06:07 |
| valbaca | holocene, /etc = configuration files | 06:07 |
| krishnandu | bastidrazor, But I'm using the same, and that is not working | 06:07 |
| Guest29705 | dpac_: is there a way I can test ALSA or the hardware card itself? | 06:07 |
| Anas | i repeat my problem : i have installed the ubuntu 10.4 on the external hard(500 GB) and the boot faild from the hd and the size decrease to 250 GB | 06:07 |
| bastidrazor | krishnandu: did you enable the partner repository? | 06:08 |
| krishnandu | nope. How to do that..?? | 06:08 |
| bastidrazor | !partner | krishnandu | 06:08 |
| ubottu | krishnandu: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 06:08 |
| krishnandu | bastidrazor, nope. how to do that..?? | 06:08 |
| holocene | valbaca, so if I back up home, clean install 10.10 then I can restore /etc? | 06:08 |
| Anas | in ubuntu i can see 2 partion of the external hard | 06:08 |
| valbaca | !partner | krishnandu | 06:08 |
| sarai | i had a 500 GB Drive and install ubuntu on it and is ok | 06:08 |
| walterj89_ | sarai you should take note that some laptops actually do run at those temps normally.. also if you have bios access you may be able to set fan speeds there | 06:08 |
| white_magic | dpac_, i'm trying to run apt-get install grub, but tells me that it's unable to fetch some archives and to try running apg-get update' | 06:08 |
| white_magic | well it's unable to run apt-get update | 06:08 |
| Anas | any one help me pleaz | 06:09 |
| white_magic | 'no address associated with hostname'.. | 06:09 |
| sarai | how i get bios acces | 06:09 |

| valbaca | holocene, what version are you updated from? | 06:09 |
| holocene | lucid | 06:09 |
| valbaca | s/updated/updating | 06:09 |
| white_magic | sarai: it depends on your system, but it's usually either DELETE or F2 | 06:09 |
| white_magic | or F8 | 06:09 |
| dpac_ | white_magic: I suspect there's no internet connection on that system | 06:09 |
| white_magic | dpac_ there is | 06:09 |
| sarai | ok i try that | 06:09 |
| white_magic | but when i ran terminal, it wasn't connected.. could that be at fault? | 06:09 |
| sarai | thanks | 06:09 |
| krishnandu | bastidrazor, valbaca should I copy paste that...?? | 06:09 |
| sarai | i see now | 06:09 |
| white_magic | no problem | 06:09 |
| sarai | BRB with details on that | 06:09 |
| dpac_ | Guest29705: Does the sound plays for few seconds if you quit and reopen the media file? | 06:09 |
| === SolidLiq is now known as solid_liq | ||
| bastidrazor | krishnandu: you could yes. exclude the little arrows | 06:10 |
| valbaca | holocene, you should just be able to sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -d -s. no clean-install needed | 06:10 |
| holocene | valbaca, understood, but many people don't advise t hat. | 06:10 |
| krishnandu | bastidrazor, ya I did that | 06:10 |
| krishnandu | bastidrazor, sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner | 06:10 |
| incognito | can someone give me the address where I can download 8.04 server edition? | 06:10 |
| Guest29705 | dpac_: yeah. | 06:10 |
| walterj89_ | Where is Java installed in 10.04 now? | 06:10 |
| white_magic | dpac_: do you think it would make a difference if i first ran terminal before i had connected to the internet? | 06:10 |
| bastidrazor | krishnandu: sudo apt-get update :to update your package list.. then install | 06:11 |
| incognito | http download\ | 06:11 |
| valbaca | holocene, it's the best way to conserve your settings. I would recommend waiting until 10/10/10 | 06:11 |
| krishnandu | bastidrazor, how to remove an repository...?? | 06:11 |
| dpac_ | white_magic: Well, I am clueless about that one. You could try copying deb file from another computer and installing it. | 06:11 |
| dpac_ | white_magic: No that wouldn't matter. | 06:11 |
| valbaca | holocene, otherwise, #ubuntu+1 will be able to provide more assistance | 06:11 |
| white_magic | WOAH.. everyone check out google homepage RIGHT NOW | 06:11 |
| holocene | valbaca, Ok. I do have maverick working in virtualbox ok . | 06:11 |

| white_magic | i'm seeing a crazy script that google must be running | 06:12 |
| krishnandu | bastidrazor, yupieee..!! Done :) | 06:12 |
| white_magic | you might have scripts disabled | 06:12 |
| white_magic | valbaca: hover over the google logo | 06:12 |
| pfifo | google is bieng prejudice to colorblind people, i say we file a class-action | 06:12 |
| cfedde | stealing my cpu power too. | 06:12 |
| walterj89_ | white_magic normal to me, in both .ca and .com | 06:12 |
| white_magic | hmm i wonder if i need to make a screenshot to prove that google has changed something! | 06:13 |
| jp_ | so there would be no way of extending my partition size because i used wubi and the highest it would let me go was 30GB instead of 500GB | 06:13 |
| bastidrazor | incognito: http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/ | 06:13 |
| valbaca | jp_, wubi uses FAT32, that limits it to 32GB | 06:13 |
| walterj89_ | white_magic i see an american flag now... but under the search bar | 06:13 |
| jp_ | oh | 06:14 |
| Guest29705 | dpac_: thanks. looks like that might help | 06:14 |
| jp_ | white_magic: are you talking about those moving things the red and blue? | 06:14 |
| golddragon24 | white_magic: Whoah. That's cool. Any idea what it's for? | 06:14 |
| dpac_ | white_magic: Do that. Its seems fine at my end too. | 06:14 |
| valbaca | !offtopic :) | 06:15 |
| white_magic | no idea | 06:15 |
| jp_ | valbaca, so how would i extend the partition or create a dual boot without having to reformat my win7 drive | 06:15 |
| white_magic | jp_ yea | 06:15 |
| pfifo | white_magic, google changes their homepage more often than i change my underwear, this is nothing special | 06:15 |
| white_magic | well i thought it was pretty cool | 06:16 |
| incognito | bastidrazor thanks a bunch. I just can't get 10.04 server to work to work, so to save time, I'm going to go back to 8.04 which is supported until April 2013 | 06:16 |
| jp_ | pfifo, EWWWWWW | 06:16 |
| walterj89_ | white_magic are you on the east coast? its still sunday here | 06:16 |
| white_magic | right up there with the pacman game | 06:16 |
| white_magic | i'm on west coast | 06:16 |
| valbaca | jp_, you can uninstall wubi, use the Windows 7 Drive thingy to shrink the partition, then dual-boot Ubuntu and WIndows 7 | 06:16 |
| mneptok | pfifo: please stay on-topic | 06:16 |
| bastidrazor | incognito: understood. best of luck | 06:16 |
| jp_ | valbaca, Im using two drives instead of one | 06:16 |
| valbaca | the same steps should apply | 06:17 |
| Cognisance | You are all amazing and thank you all for your time and effort. | 06:17 |
| jp_ | i had win7 on one drive and 10.04 on the other but when i would restart i wouldn't get the option to boot ubuntu. It would auto boot win7 | 06:17 |
| sarai | guys i have a bios update but is a .exe file | 06:18 |
| sarai | how can i install it | 06:19 |
| sarai | with winw | 06:19 |
| sarai | wine | 06:19 |
| ectospasm | sarai: you probably need to boot DOS, and run it from there | 06:19 |
| white_magic | i'm trying to run 'sudo aptitude update' and it tells me 'err http [blah blah long url] \n Something wicked happened resoluving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - no address associated with hostname)'..... someone please explain | 06:19 |
| valbaca | sarai, that will have to be run with Windows. you run the risk of permenantly breaking your computer if you use wine | 06:19 |
| dpac_ | jp_: Thats because there are separate bootloaders for both device. You need to select the boot device from the BIOS | 06:20 |
| valbaca | jp_, This is written for 9.10, but nothing should be different for 10.04 http://lifehacker.com/5403100/dual+boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-in-perfect-harmony | 06:20 |
| ectospasm | sarai: http://www.linuxinsight.com/how-to-flash-motherboard-bios-from-linux-no-dos-windows-no-floppy-drive.html | 06:20 |
| sarai | can i boot a portable windows and install from there | 06:20 |
| sarai | i have ubuntu installed actually but my fan is an issue | 06:20 |
| valbaca | sarai, most likely. still risky imo | 06:20 |
| ectospasm | sarai: see my link | 06:20 |
| ectospasm | valbaca: it's SOP, assuming you don't do it in Wine | 06:21 |
| valbaca | SOP? | 06:21 |
| white_magic | anyone? | 06:21 |
| ectospasm | valbaca: Standard Operatin Procedure | 06:21 |
| valbaca | ectospasm, gotcha | 06:22 |
| ectospasm | white_magic: are you getting name resolution with ping? | 06:22 |
| white_magic | ectospasm: i think the terminal works a bit differently than i previously thought | 06:22 |
| white_magic | when i launched a new window, it all works | 06:22 |

| coolguy | ok nvm. | 06:23 |
| ectospasm | white_magic: that's strange. I'd have to know more about the nonworking environment to know why it didn't work. Typically the shell can have a network connection be enabled after its inception... | 06:24 |
| white_magic | maybe they resolved this in newer ubuntu versions | 06:24 |
| white_magic | this is 9.04 live boot | 06:24 |
| walterj89_ | Java Segmentation Fault anyone? I'm having an issue running a .jar file I need, reinstalled java serveral times | 06:25 |
| ectospasm | white_magic: that still doesn't seem right, the net connection is independent of the shell. Once the network is enabled, the shell should be able to resolve hostnames | 06:25 |
| Blue1 | walterj89_: tried different browsers? | 06:26 |
| ectospasm | walterj89_: maybe the jar is corrupt? | 06:26 |
| walterj89_ | Blue1 not using it ina browser, command line | 06:27 |
| ectospasm | white_magic: unless you can see a difference in executions of "env" between the working and nonworking windows, I'm stumped | 06:27 |
| Blue1 | walterj89_: ah I've never done that... | 06:27 |
| Blue1 | off topic: when is a door not a door? When it's ajar. | 06:27 |
| ectospasm | white_magic: but then again, I don't use the LiveCD much (last I checked, LVM isn't available using it) | 06:27 |
| walterj89_ | ectospasm I dont think its corrupt.. or I hope it isnt, | 06:28 |
| ectospasm | walterj89_: does it work on another machine? | 06:28 |
| Blue1 | walterj89_: yup what ectospasm suggested, or re-downloaded the file | 06:28 |
| white_magic | why is it that when i try running 'chroot /mnt/root' it tells me 'cant change root dir to /mnt/root: op. not permitted', but i was previously able to run it (in a previous terminal window which is now closed)? | 06:29 |
| white_magic | unless i'm in that root dir still.. how do i check which is my current root dir? | 06:30 |
| walterj89_ | ectospasm I don't think its corrupted, the problem seems to be when I put in the commands I need | 06:30 |
| ectospasm | white_magic: is the old chroot still mounted? I dunno, it's been a LOOONG time since I used chroot | 06:30 |
| === matthew is now known as Guest29978 | ||

| ectospasm | walterj89_: how do you know it's not corrupted? Do you have a sum (MD5/SHA1/etc.) indicating its not? | 06:30 |
| ectospasm | white_magic: if mount can't tell you, I dunno | 06:31 |
| Guest29978 | Running unbuntu 10.04 netbook remix. Sound output through headphone jack not working, but sound is fine through internal speakers. Any suggestions? | 06:31 |

| white_magic | but rest assured - i'm committed | 06:44 |
| Blue1 | white_magic: that's exactly what I do, only I found out my winxp doesn't run on this machine - too new | 06:44 |

| white_magic | wonder what kind of space-age hardware you go there that's too new | 06:45 |
| Blue1 | white_magic: so no software drivers for something tht new in xp -- it came with mmmVista but I hated that beyond belief | 06:45 |
| Flynsarmy | err, useradd -d | 06:45 |
| walterj89_ | Blue1 too new is hard to do... good to see though xp was the most hackible thing ever | 06:46 |
| white_magic | Blue1: well, tbh, win7 is everything vista should have been and vista shouldn't be the only thing people think of when they hear 'windows' | 06:46 |
| Blue1 | walterj89_: nah, not as bad was win 98 | 06:46 |
| Blue1 | white_magic: I think the "best" release of windows was NT 4.0 | 06:46 |
| walterj89_ | Blue1 win98 ah... had a 95 I discoverd how to melt with a few lines of code | 06:47 |
| white_magic | Blue1: I wouldn't know | 06:47 |

| Phr3ak_ | hi | 09:04 |
| koolhead17 | blahdeblah, yes true | 09:04 |

| blahdeblah | pfifo: OK - thanks. I might try it as-is, since i'm more familiar with the old grub. | 09:05 |

| sts193 | I'm just wondering if /var/www/ is not the right place to put it | 09:08 |
| blahdeblah | that doesn't make any difference | 09:08 |
| blahdeblah | It matters where it listens | 09:08 |
| blahdeblah | (which interface, that is) | 09:08 |
| blahdeblah | sts193: Are you on a home ADSL connection or something like that? | 09:08 |
| sts193 | yes, something like that | 09:08 |
| magnetron | sts193: you probably forgot to forward the port from the external IP to your internal LAN ip | 09:09 |
| pfifo | sts193, you probbally have it listening to only localhost, you have to specifically tell it to listen on other addresses, use 'netstat -l' to check if your listening to what you think your listening on | 09:09 |
| blahdeblah | sts193: pastebin the output of netstat -tupln from your command line | 09:09 |
| sts193 | but I think I understand now, I'm following some tutorials and they must be setting it to listen at localhost:8080 | 09:09 |
| blahdeblah | Yep | 09:09 |
| blahdeblah | It's probably bound to the loopback interface | 09:09 |
| sts193 | gotcha, so it doesn't matter where i run my server from | 09:09 |

| flush | folks i used to have a shortcut in my top bar that would start up compiz (im running 9.04), now my ./.gconf is gone with the bar and my desktop settings and im wondering how do i start compiz now ? | 09:29 |
| flush | i used compiz --replace but its not the right command.. or its at least missing options or something cause all it would do is remove the window decorator from gnome desktop | 09:30 |
| flush | any clue ? | 09:30 |
| Padhu | thiyagi: I am not yet an good developer | 09:30 |
| chong | list | 09:30 |
| Padhu | but soon | 09:30 |
| thiyagi | haha, nice answer | 09:30 |
| sniperjo | thiyagi: ive just removed it and reinstalled it, still no change | 09:30 |
| bruce | hello! | 09:31 |
| soreau | flush: Can you pastebin the output of compiz --replace from your terminal to pastebin.com? | 09:31 |
| soreau | ! hi | bruce | 09:31 |
| ubottu | bruce: 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! | 09:31 |
| beli | sniperjo: maybe its creating some .dirs delete them | 09:31 |
| thiyagi | sniperjo: you did it already, ok so its just the javascript right | 09:31 |
| bruce | hi! | 09:31 |
| sniperjo | t | 09:32 |
| flush | ok soreau gimme sec | 09:32 |
| sniperjo | thiyagi: the javascript is copied straight from the vlc manual | 09:32 |
| thiyagi | beli: does it create .dirs for that | 09:33 |
| ShredMaster | hey, I want to make myself the root user. How????? | 09:33 |
| JohnHeikkila | su - | 09:33 |
| JohnHeikkila | ShredMaster: If you want a permament change, you need to open the user management and do something there, but if you want to be root for on konsole session, you might want to try "su -" | 09:34 |
| tst_ | morning, got a strange behaviour on Lucid, when plugging an iphone4 into usb, it begins starting filemanager till infinite. Any solution? | 09:34 |
| ShredMaster | johnH: I want to be permanent | 09:35 |
| frobisher | sudo su | 09:35 |
| soreau | ShredMaster: In reality, there is no sound reason to run as root and it's a really bad idea. | 09:36 |
| JohnHeikkila | Shredmaster: Let me see... | 09:36 |
| sniperjo | beli: where would i find them, ive just apt-get purge vlc and apt-get install vlc mozzila-plugin-vlc | 09:36 |
| rww | !sudo | 09:36 |
| ubottu | 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 | 09:36 |
| soreau | Security risks like these are one of the many reasons why other OS get viruses | 09:36 |
| JohnHeikkila | yep | 09:36 |
| rww | "su -" asks for the root password, and thus won't work on Ubuntu by default, since it doesn't have one set. "sudo su" or "sudo -i" or whatever are better. | 09:37 |
| soreau | ShredMaster: By learning how to use sudo, you'll save yourself a lot of future headaches | 09:37 |
| ShredMaster | soreau: oki doki | 09:37 |
| * nettezzaumana hates inane sudo and in his past 10 years with Linux he used just .. no, just never | 09:38 | |
| thiyagi | sniperjo: dude you are trying play a stream video in the first case right | 09:38 |
| soreau | ShredMaster: running as root can destroy your permissions system which is very important to linux, and it will if you use root as your 'normal' user (hint: it's not normal) | 09:38 |
| knolls | Does anyone know of software that enlarges photos without losing as much quality that I can use in Ubuntu? | 09:38 |
| sniperjo | thiyagi: ive changed the target to a file on the HD | 09:39 |
| beli | sniperjo: in the .mozilla dir | 09:39 |
| ectospasm | knolls: as compared to what? | 09:39 |
| soreau | knolls: gimp? | 09:39 |
| beli | sniperjo: ~/.mozilla | 09:39 |
| knolls | soreau: i just tried in gimp and it works decently, just wondering if maybe a program was better for it | 09:41 |
| frobisher | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Root Sudo | 09:41 |
| beli | knolls: making posters from 640px x 480px does not work... | 09:41 |
| flush | soreau http://pastebin.com/UfLzeMTA | 09:42 |
| soreau | knolls: There may be other tools but gimp does a pretty good job and has a lot of customization options | 09:42 |
| ectospasm | knolls: enlarging photographs inherently introduces artifacts | 09:42 |
| beli | knolls: enlarging images to a bigger size than they were ment to be ALWAYS makes them look bad...its just an algorithm that does the job, nothing more | 09:42 |
| ectospasm | knolls: you need to start with the highest resolution source image as possible. | 09:43 |
| soreau | flush: Hmm.. not latest ubuntu and possibly nvidia drivers, am I right? | 09:43 |
| thiyagi | yeah and only vector images can be zoomed with the same quality | 09:43 |
| ectospasm | knolls: algorithms that interpolate the added bits will never do a perfect job | 09:43 |
| magnetron | knolls: your best option is to use GIMP and scale up using the Lanczos kernel | 09:43 |
| flush | soreau you are absolutely right | 09:43 |
| sniperjo | beli: i have a extensions and firefox dir in ./mozilla , the dir in the extensions has got some random long name with nothing in it . also im pretty sure the the vlc controller is listed as a plugin, not extension | 09:43 |
| flush | but what makes makes me wonder is that it was working.. just that i dont remember how i used to boot it | 09:44 |
| flush | ;( | 09:44 |
| knolls | ectospasm: what i might do is redesign it at the size i want it to be, or smooth it out the way it is... really simple lines, no big deal | 09:44 |
| soreau | flush: I will have to say, easy one shot sure fire solution is to perform a fresh installation of ubuntu 10.04 | 09:44 |
| sandGorgon | anybody using dual monitors on their laptop - I have Intel card and I use "Monitor Preferences" to set up dual monitor.. I have this annoying label on the top-left of the screen which shows its name. Can I get rid of it ? | 09:44 |
| beli | sniperjo: hmm, ok, it was just an idea...dont know that plugin | 09:44 |
| knolls | basically i'm dealing with an image full of text and a few other simple things, i just suck with the gimp unfortunately | 09:45 |
| soreau | flush: We could diagnose whatever setup you have currently but I can tell you from my experience, that is a crash caused by nvidia drivers (in which case you can try reinstalling the driver or using a different version of it) | 09:45 |
| beli | knolls: for natural smoothing on making an image bigger use BILINEAR option | 09:45 |
| ectospasm | knolls: or use SVG, so it will scale well | 09:45 |
| beli | ectospasm: lol, he's talking about pixel data, not vector stuff | 09:45 |
| flush | soreau interesting ill try this thanks mate | 09:46 |
| ectospasm | beli: yeah, but he could recreate what he wants in inkscape, and it will scale MUCH better | 09:46 |
| beli | ectospasm: an image of his wife? recreated with inkscape? umm... | 09:46 |
| ectospasm | beli: I saw "really simple lines" and thought a drawing, not a photo. Forgive me for not reading! (-; | 09:47 |
| knolls | can i post a link in this room with the image i'm working with? | 09:47 |

| soreau | Ardril: Sure, which format is it? | 09:49 |
| beli | knolls: ok what size do you want it to be? | 09:49 |

| beli | ectospasm: i guess you are right....he could really recreate that as vector graphics | 09:50 |
| thiyagi | its a vector image | 09:50 |
| Ardril | soreau i want to stream into justin tv (http://de.justin.tv/ardril_lerfai#/w/369921680) its working i can see something but it got wired graphics the codec which is missing is MPEG AAC Audio | 09:50 |
| thiyagi | inkscape will do the job right | 09:50 |
| sinner99 | минутку | 09:50 |
| knolls | if nothing else i'll redesign it, it only took an hour but it might be hard to remember exactly how it was done, and everything but a gigantic sign is already printed for this | 09:50 |
| thiyagi | knolls:use inkscape | 09:51 |
| beli | knolls: it isnt hard to redesign it...inkscape is really well for it | 09:51 |
| knolls | beli: thiyagi: everyone else, thanks | 09:51 |
| beli | knolls: you can use the fonts also and vectorize them | 09:51 |
| soreau | Ardril: Try installing liba52 package? | 09:52 |
| beli | knolls: best you try it out with a part of your image to see how perfect it works | 09:52 |

| Ardril | one second | 09:52 |
| sniperjo | beli: cheers for the help | 09:52 |
| knolls | beli: does it take a lot of time? if the result is success i don't care if it takes a week to finish | 09:52 |

| Ardril | liba52 is installed | 09:53 |
| Matsy | Hm. | 09:53 |
| Ardril | it comes with vlc | 09:53 |

| soreau | Ardril: Well I guess it's broken. Try filing a bug | 09:53 |
| Matsy | Like, is there a way to force the reload of the config files? | 09:53 |

| sniperjo | beli: only one problem though, ask me for a suitable plug everytime it starts, i cancel but it still works | 09:55 |
| beli | sniperjo: maybe you could define not to ask for it again under about:config | 09:56 |
| Ardril | soreau i reinstalled it but still the error | 09:56 |
| beli | sniperjo: or define what plugin to use...mime-type like | 09:56 |

| soreau | Ardril: I suspect the problem is with that package and since you said it's provided by vlc, perhaps you should seek out a different version of vlc through ppa repo/deb packages or building it yourself from source | 09:57 |

| somethinginteres | hi all, is it really worth using a fresh install to upgrade Ubuntu or will an upgrade from within the OS be equally fine? | 10:00 |
| ectospasm | mayank_gupta2005: I don't know, maybe try #sim-safe | 10:00 |
| glebihan | somethinginteres: upgrade usually works fine | 10:01 |
| ectospasm | mayank_gupta2005: or use the appropriate forums provided by that project | 10:01 |
| dpac_ | somethinginteres: A fresh install would definitely be better than an upgrade but you'd have to reinstall all your packages again. Upgrading would save you the headache of installing all packages all over again. | 10:01 |
| mayank_gupta2005 | ectospasm: there is no group for that, i have tried forums but no support :/ | 10:01 |

| Hadoop4Life | I'm thinking of using it as a key/value store | 10:04 |
| Hadoop4Life | People say it's scalable | 10:04 |
| dpac_ | somethinginteres: Well, if your system is too bloated/cluttered, it helps you remove the clutter. Plus some rogue configs would be cleared of. Boot time would be much better. | 10:04 |
| iluminameluna | because I found 2 virtualbox files but neither will launch the app. Can someone help or direct me to a better place for me? | 10:04 |
| ectospasm | Hadoop4Life: it's a bit bucket, one does not normally read from it | 10:04 |
| somethinginteres | dpac_: right, might do that then. I have a regression bug in the kernel for Lucid that means no audio so I am thinking of making the jump to 10.10 early | 10:05 |

| somethinginteres | JohnHeikkila: oh dear. Well as it stands no audio is a major issue for me | 10:08 |

| avi__ | hey folks, i'm using Ubuntu Lucid, and I've got these two external HDs that i plug in often. Problem is, they've got lots of partitions, and therefore Nautilus pops open like 8 windows when I plug the drives in, and it is a total frustration and unwanted. I have no problems with disabling this functionality entirely. How might I go about supressing the browser window that appears when a new harddrive is plugged in? Thanks a bunch! | 10:41 |
| magnetron | sniperjo: vlc perhaps doesn't support the codec used? i don't know | 10:42 |
| red2kic | avi__: I think.... In Nautilus, Edit --> Preferences --> Untick Browse Media when inserted. | 10:43 |
| avi__ | red2kic, It was something along those lines, thanks so much! I really didn't want to spend my time hunting around for that preference if I didn't absolutely have to. Thanks again! | 10:44 |
| red2kic | avi__: Try it though. That way, you can confirm it for me. :) | 10:44 |

| Flynsarmy | ok fellas - issue. I created a user with useradd -ou 0 tempuser where 0 is for root...so now when i try to userdel tempuser it's telling me tempuser is already logged in......what do i do to delete the user? | 10:45 |
| red2kic | glebihan, avi__: Great! Thanks. :0 | 10:45 |
| Flynsarmy | typing who shows only root as logged in | 10:46 |
| ikonia | Flynsarmy: w works of uid | 10:47 |
| ikonia | Flynsarmy: you have created a user sharing the same uid as root - that's your issue | 10:47 |
| Flynsarmy | ikonia: yea :( how can i now remove it? | 10:47 |
| glebihan | Flynsarmy: use the -f option | 10:48 |
| glebihan | Flynsarmy: use the -f option | 10:48 |
| ikonia | Flynsarmy: you'll have to use the gui, or manually remove it from the password and shadow file | 10:48 |
| glebihan | Flynsarmy: userdel -f tempuser | 10:48 |
| ikonia | glebihan: careful that may remove root to as the uid is not uinque | 10:48 |
| Flynsarmy | glebihan: userdel -f tempuser results in 'user tempuser is currently logged in' | 10:48 |
| Flynsarmy | ikonia: jeez, that message might have been helpful before i'd actually tried it :) luckily it failed | 10:49 |
| glebihan | Flynsarmy: that is probably a security due to the fact that this user has the same user ID as root | 10:49 |
| kk06 | FUCKER KUCKKERS | 10:49 |
| glebihan | Flynsarmy: there was no actual risk, there's no way to delete the root user | 10:49 |

| SmokeyD | hey everyone. I have an nvidia 6600 dual head video card in my ubuntu lucid machine (amd64). The nvidia proprietary driver was giving me trouble, so I deactivated it. The setup works almost with a dual monitor setup (one right of the other) but one of the two monitors is shown in the monitors tools as unknown and the resolution isn't detected correctly. I can only select resolutions up to 1024x768 while it actually can handle up to 1280x1024. How do I | 11:11 |
| ikonia | SmokeyD: you'll need the nvidia drivers most likley to get the max resolution out of it | 11:11 |
| nicoulaj | do some of you own Radeon 5770 graphic cards ? no driver issues on Ubuntu ? | 11:12 |
| SmokeyD | ikonia: there is no way to do it without the nvidia driver? One of the two monitors is detected correctly and I can set it to it's native resolution of 1280x1024, but with the other one I can't. So the driver càn handle 1280x1024, it just detects the resolution for that one monitor incorrectly | 11:13 |
| SmokeyD | ikonia: it doesn't matter to which of the two heads I connect the monitors. I already tried switching them but it gives the same results | 11:14 |
| Aldus | hi. Total Ubuntu beginner here... I used to connect to my debian server with putty, and it worked ok. Trying to connect from ubuntu with: "ssh root@myhost.com" requests password (which I input correctly) but then gives me always access denied. What am I missing? | 11:16 |
| clik_op | Can someone suggest me an application which shows me (on the system tray or on desktop like screenlet or something ) who are on the LAN i use and who is using my wireless (which has no password on my area) . I know my routers password and username. | 11:16 |
| Chr|s | How come after uninstalled empath, when I click on chat in the indicator applet it still pops up? | 11:18 |
| phlak_user | Aldus: have you allowed root logins on the debian server? | 11:18 |
| HRH_H_Crab | any experienced moinmoin users about who are familiar with the ubuntu docs on the subject? | 11:18 |
| Chr|s | I honestly don't care for empathy, and quite particular to pidgin | 11:18 |
| Aldus | phlak_user: I never did it, but putty always worked | 11:18 |
| Aldus | and it still wokrs from my colleague's win computer | 11:18 |
| rww | Chr|s: because either 1) you haven't installed all of Lucid's updates, or 2) you haven't logged out since removing Empathy, or 3) something is broken. | 11:18 |
| phlak_user | Aldus: you can also enable verbose by ssh -vv root@blahblah | 11:18 |
| phlak_user | Aldus: that might give you a clue | 11:19 |
| Chr|s | rww: must be I haven't logged out since removing Empathy. I didn't think I had too when I uninstall an app | 11:19 |
| phlak_user | clik_op: not sure if theres an app like that; though you can use wireshark/tcpdump/ethereal to sniff | 11:19 |
| Aldus | phlak_user, : I get "Authentications that can continue: publickey,password" "Permission denied, please try again. | 11:20 |
| Aldus | " | 11:20 |
| rww | Chr|s: The indicator applet doesn't pick up on programs disappearing until after logout. This is better than the pre-update situation, when it didn't pick up on them disappearing at all :\ | 11:20 |
| clik_op | phlak_user: no no. i know to use wireshark a little bit. i know the other app like this. but i need to see it everytime. there are many reasons to use them. but i can not log on from brosers everytime to look them :( | 11:20 |
| Chr|s | rww: ahh ok, thanks | 11:20 |
| clik_op | phlak_user: where i can find a software like that ? | 11:21 |
| phlak_user | Aldus: also, if you have access to the debian server looking at /var/log/auth.log might throw up some clues | 11:21 |
| NET||abuse | what's a normal speed of transfering files over wifi to a networked box? i'm getting about 220KB/s copying a few ISO's up from my laptop over wifi to a wired nas box | 11:21 |
| NET||abuse | is that a normal rate? | 11:21 |
| NET||abuse | i'm seeing 500/600 KB/s download from the internet though, so why is this slower? | 11:21 |
| ikonia | NET||abuse: there is no "normal" it depends on your situation | 11:21 |

| Aldus | phlak_user: not, the password does | 11:23 |
| ikonia | NET||abuse: again, there is no "normal" it all depends on your setup and enviornment | 11:23 |
| NET||abuse | actually, it climbed to 260KB/s | 11:23 |
| NET||abuse | still, why so slow? | 11:23 |
| phlak_user | Aldus: ok | 11:23 |
| ikonia | NET||abuse: could be many many reasons | 11:23 |
| phlak_user | NET||abuse: does your router have any qos/traffic shaping options enabled? | 11:24 |

| glebihan | loopool: yes, I was looking at ngtdisk too, what version of Ubuntu are you running ? | 12:11 |
| maddog | phlak_user: thanks dude :) | 12:11 |
| loopool | glebihan, karmic koala I believe | 12:12 |
| phlak_user | maddog: yw | 12:12 |
| rootEth | meatbun, try pdfcrack | 12:13 |
| rootEth | can get it from the software center | 12:13 |
| rootEth | or sudo apt-get install pdfcrack | 12:13 |
| meatbun | ok thx, rootEth | 12:13 |
| loopool | glebihan, it's been so long since I've used this partition because of the wireless playing up. I just can't go without Ubuntu any more... | 12:13 |
| rootEth | there are others in the software centre too if you look | 12:14 |
| glebihan | loopool: you should try installing the latest drivers; you can find them here : http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=48&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#RTL8192SE | 12:14 |
| rootEth | if that 1 doesn't work | 12:14 |
| glebihan | loopool: try either the linux one, or the Windows one, using ndiswrapper | 12:14 |
| rootEth | on the topic of sounds, any1 actually managed to get mic input on a creative x-fi working? | 12:15 |

| glebihan | loopool: well, that's odd, compilation works fine here, but we're going to try something else | 13:10 |

| industrial | Is there an editor that runs on Ubuntu that can do 'Go To File' from Textmate on OS X? | 13:26 |
| glebihan | loopool: try "sudo start nic" | 13:26 |
| rob_p | Rout: It *should* be there. If not, go look at logs for clues... | 13:26 |
| Dr_Willis | RanyAlbeg: on a linux fileserver, you dont really need to make a fat32 filesystem to 'share' in fact. shareing a fat32 fs may make the shareing harder. | 13:27 |
| Rout | something is wrong | 13:27 |
| RanyAlbeg | Dr_Willis: Thank you very much. | 13:27 |
| loopool | glebihan, same result | 13:27 |

| tracy69 | it sometimes poop up in top and it use 70% of the cpu | 13:29 |
| rob_p | Rout: Also, make sure your /etc/default/ssh config isn't disallowing it to start. | 13:29 |

| Dr_Willis | Ar|stote|is: you can install both and use GDM to select what desktopp to use at login | 13:43 |
| Ar|stote|is | i just have to go to synaptic and add gnome? | 13:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Ar|stote|is: 'ubuntu-desktop' | 13:44 |
| Dr_Willis | Ar|stote|is: if you want the full desktop | 13:44 |
| Ar|stote|is | will it reduce the sharpness and responsiveness of the netbook ? I have heard that sometimes the desktop edition is "lighter/faster" than the netbook one | 13:44 |
| Dr_Willis | Ar|stote|is: you are going to run ONE or the other... not both at teh same time | 13:45 |
| Dr_Willis | Ar|stote|is: netbook interface is a little lighter i guess.. but i run the full ubuntu on my netbooks all teh time | 13:45 |

| pie_time | can anyone tell me if there is a good program that can be integrated into ubuntu as a background calendar daemon that will alert you of appointments at a future time and date? | 13:46 |

| Dr_Willis | and i dont care to set up a auto-spell checker for weechat :) | 13:46 |
| Ar|stote|is | i just wanted to have the desktop feel. i mean a visible wallpaper my computer and folders aligned and not some huge icons. other than that im pretty happy with the current installation. for what i want to do is it better to install ubuntu-desktop or perform a clean install from scratch ? | 13:47 |

| morris1 | correction: gtranslator just segfaults everytime i try to open a file | 13:52 |
| Licuadora | There is one at -128. | 13:52 |

| iceroot | laieman: and why you need a root-shell? | 13:53 |

| Aioros | Does anyone know how to add public and private key into a new repository? | 15:10 |
| simplexio | yrth: are those disks allways on raid? i assume that you have some silicon chip there. and i cant remeber right key to get its bios. you see it when you boot | 15:10 |
| === weezel is now known as omgjoz | ||
| simplexio | yrth: if you are now in livecd enviroment then you an check it by ls /dev/disk/by-path/ | 15:11 |
| glebihan | Aioros: you mean signing the Release file ? | 15:11 |
| simplexio | yrth: if you have only one there, but two connected disks you see only one ( i think) | 15:11 |

| Aioros | I created a repository ubuntu with custom packages, have generated the public and private keys but do not know where to put them in the repository. | 15:12 |
| Aioros | 10.04 | 15:12 |
| yrth | simplexio yes, when I boot I can access the configuration of the disks, and there is was when I was changing it (removing the RAID array and treating it as 2 separate disks). Let me check what the ls/.. command produce. | 15:12 |

| ZykoticK9 | Aioros, if you don't get an answer here you might want to ask in #launchpad | 15:13 |
| yrth | simplexio | 15:13 |
| glebihan | Aioros: you do have to put them in the repository, you have to use them to sign the Release file | 15:13 |
| === new_to_i1ssi is now known as New_T0_irssi | ||
| glebihan | Aioros: you do *not* have to put them in the repository | 15:13 |
| yrth | simplexio, when I was installing it as separate disks, I could see them separately during the installation. when they're in the raid array, it's only one, huge disk | 15:14 |
| Aioros | Got it. But how I do it? Sorry about the lack of knowledge. | 15:14 |
| rh- | Hello, i installed ubuntu in vmware workstation 6.5, and my keyboard doesn't work. Anyone know why? | 15:14 |
| yrth | simplexio, I have just finished installing it again in the raid array configuration | 15:15 |
| Aioros | At the moment I put the packages in there and time to install packages it says are not signed. | 15:15 |
| glebihan | Aioros: use "gpg --output /path/to/repo/dists/distname/Release.gpg -ba /path/to/repo/dists/distname/release" | 15:15 |
| yrth | simplexio, just remained "trying ubuntu" to ask you guys for some advice | 15:15 |

| glaucous | I just uninstalled ATI proprietary drivers, and now KDM can't start. Is there a big performance difference using open-source drivers? | 15:20 |
| glaucous | KDM/GDM shouldn't matter i guess. | 15:20 |
| BluesKaj | glebihan, I thought it might help ...there's a lot of info there | 15:20 |
| bukcyball | Whenever I restore any window, it becomes always on top. The always-on-top property of the window is still unselected, but it remains always on top. Since the always-on-top is already unselected, I cannot make the window not-always-on-top. To view any window in the background, i have to explicitly minimize that always-on-top window, or maximize it, to remove always-on-top property. | 15:21 |
| bukcyball | Is there any gnome setting which makes restored (not maximized/minimized) windows always-on-top. | 15:21 |
| rh- | headkase314, thank you, it worked | 15:21 |
| headkase314 | rh-, you're welcome! | 15:22 |
| glebihan | bukcyball: what happens ? | 15:22 |
| glebihan | BluesKaj: yes, but not for what he needs | 15:22 |

| BluesKaj | glebihan , ok , did you tell him what he needs ? | 15:23 |
| simplexio | yrth: at somepoint in intallation it ask where to install grub, so there and after that from bios you set boot order | 15:23 |

| brodie | i'm trying to install emacs from the ubuntu-elisp ppa. apt-cache policy shows that the ppa package is the candidate, but apt-cache show shows the ubuntu package, and aptitude install installs the ubuntu one instead of the ppa one. what am i doing wrong? | 15:24 |
| Aioros | glebihan: The command that you passed the file Release.gpg already has the private key is generated or the run command? | 15:24 |
| bukcyball | glebihan: any settings there? | 15:25 |
| glebihan | bukcyball: maybe, just asking in order to know where to look | 15:25 |

| Nils2 | When I log in to ubuntu, I get a recurring popup window, called "unnamed window" with the the only deistinguisable text reading "username". It's only there for a split second, before it reloads in a different place on the desktop. It cripples my system (CPU load at 100 %) and makes the keyboard useless since half of the keys pressed are directed to this "unnamed window" everytime it pops up. Anybody knows what I'm talking anout? Help much appreci | 15:26 |

| zidoh | any recommended way of installing python 2.5 on lucid= | 15:39 |
| zidoh | ? | 15:39 |
| helo_ | rbellamy: rsync will duplicate... mv will rename... am i missing something? :) | 15:39 |
| Seppoz | mv moves | 15:40 |
| glebihan | zidoh: why do you want to do that ? (Python 2.5 is not supported anymore) | 15:40 |
| glaucous | When installing fglrx from repository, is it the same as installing drivers from the ATI website? Except that they're older, of course. | 15:40 |
| Vroomfondle | glaucous: yes. | 15:40 |
| headkase314 | zidoh, Lucid already comes with Python 2.6.5 is there a specific reason you need 2.5? | 15:40 |
| helo_ | Seppoz: what is a rename if not a move? | 15:40 |
| jrib | rbellamy: why don't you just use cp in a for loop? | 15:40 |
| glaucous | Vroomfondle: Thanks | 15:40 |
| zidoh | glebihan, headkase314: framework that requires 2.5 unfortunately | 15:41 |
| rbellamy | jrib, well, first, cuz I'm slow sometimes, and then on second thought, because the for loop breaks when iterating large populations | 15:41 |
| glaucous | Vroomfondle: Should I install xorg-driver-fglrx as well? | 15:41 |
| Vroomfondle | glaucous: I think that'll get installed automatically, but if not then yes you should | 15:42 |
| redbullfx | Hi again | 15:42 |
| glebihan | zidoh: you'll find python2.5 there : http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.5/ | 15:42 |
| jrib | rbellamy: well you'll have to use cp anyway with your xargrs | 15:42 |
| glaucous | Vroomfondle: Okay, doing that. Because some programs that rely on ATI Overdrive didn't work now, but will test in a second. | 15:42 |
| rbellamy | helo_, so I've got a this file, named file.py, and I want to create a duplicate of that file, in the same directory, with the name file-1.py | 15:42 |
| zidoh | glebihan: yeah, just wondered if there was a more "recommended way" other than simply compiling it from source | 15:42 |
| redbullfx | Can anyone tell me what Install Release is for under System/Administration ??? | 15:42 |
| meingbg | rbellamy: cp file.py file-1.py | 15:43 |
| glebihan | zidoh: no, the last 2.5 release is a source only release | 15:43 |
| rbellamy | jrib, yes, but I need to munge the name with sed (or some other incantation) BEFORE I create the cp command | 15:43 |
| zidoh | glebihan: okay :) | 15:43 |
| rbellamy | meingbg, yep, now do that for 50k files? | 15:43 |
| helo_ | rbellamy: for x in *.py; do cp "$x" "${x%.py}-1.py"; done | 15:43 |
| sathia | cp file.py anotherfile.py | 15:43 |
| headkase314 | zidoh, I just checked Synaptic, there is no Python 2.5 available. You should not install it from python.org as the already installed python 2.6 is used all over in Ubuntu. It would likely break something. So, can you find an updated version of that framework which will work with 2.6? | 15:43 |
| handjob_ | I can't connect to eth0, wireless works and apt has problems braging about how he "can't translate name". I am using 10.04 on samsung n130. | 15:43 |
| jrib | rbellamy: maybe easiest way is to just use "rename" instead of cp | 15:44 |
| rbellamy | helo_, for loop breaks at large populations... | 15:44 |
| rbellamy | jrib, that RENAMEs the file, not duplicates with new name | 15:44 |
| jrib | rbellamy: erm, yeah oops | 15:44 |
| redbullfx | What do you use to backup system, and restore from an IMAGE? | 15:44 |
| helo_ | rbellamy: is your population of python scripts that big? | 15:44 |
| glebihan | headkase314, zidoh: it won't break anything, the default version will remain 2.6, python handles very well having several versions installed | 15:44 |
| _hans | rbellamy: make a python script that can do it | 15:45 |
| zidoh | headkase314: unfortunately not.. i guess i'll have to take my chances that make altinstall will not break everything | 15:45 |
| jrib | rbellamy: right a small script that takes as input the filename and does the cp with munging then | 15:45 |
| rbellamy | helo_, that is my example.... they're actually binary files | 15:45 |
| Ashfire908 | I found the error is with what I was piping to less | 15:45 |

| headkase314 | zidoh, glebihan thank you for the clarification glebihan | 15:45 |
| rbellamy | DaveWM, the newest? | 15:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | redbullfx, you might want to check out Clonezilla a live CD similar to Norton Ghost | 15:45 |
| dekroning | hey guys, for some reason my Ubuntu boots into busybox anyone have an idea why this might be ? | 15:45 |
| _hans | rbellamy making a bash script shouldnt be too hard either i think | 15:45 |
| glebihan | headkase314: you're welcome | 15:46 |
| helo_ | rbellamy: #bash will have a good solution | 15:46 |
| DaveWM | i'm in the expert install mode, and have the plain linux-generic, -image-n.n.... server, and virtual varieties | 15:46 |
| DaveWM | heh | 15:46 |
| rbellamy | DaveWM, and I don't think any of them are taking advantage of the TXT extensions yet.... | 15:46 |
| redbullfx | ZykoticK9: Thanks i will check it out. | 15:46 |
| Roland | DaveWM, 2.5 series? :D | 15:46 |
| rbellamy | _hans, helo_, okay, to be more specific, I was looking for a one-liner | 15:46 |
| zidoh | glebihan: ok, sounds good :) | 15:46 |
| DaveWM | didnt know if maybe i should be using a server kernel instead, lol | 15:46 |
| glaucous | Vroomfondle: Still having problems that ATI Overdrive won't work with my applications. And I do not have amdcccle installed either (ATI control panel) | 15:46 |
| Roland | DaveWM, I think there is no specific desktop kernel | 15:47 |
| DaveWM | i guess i'll just go with 2.6.32-24-generic | 15:47 |
| _hans | rbellamy, this: for f in `find .`;do cp "$f" "$f-1"; done; only you need to do someting with the file extensions | 15:47 |
| UserX | any Xbindkeys users? | 15:47 |
| rbellamy | _hans, thanks for trying, but that'll still explode with large populations | 15:47 |
| meingbg | I'm trying to decide on what Ubuntu edition to use, e.g. server, JeOS, or Xubuntu. I will use it on a virtualized guest as a desktop workstations for several users connecting over VNC/RDP etc. That is, it will be virtualized, but still have all the graphics stuff. | 15:48 |
| DaveWM | anyway, its not super important, i just didnt know if any one out of these choices would be much better on my hardware than the other | 15:48 |
| _hans | rbellamy, than the only other option i can think of is making a script | 15:48 |
| rbellamy | ghostoyo, don't pm without asking... | 15:48 |
| helo_ | #bash will almost always result in the best advice regarding bash scripting :) | 15:48 |
| Aioros | glebihan: I managed to add the key to the repository. Now where in the package should I enter the public key so that it can be signed? | 15:48 |
| glebihan | rbellamy: I'd use a python script to do what you want to | 15:49 |
| UserX | meingbg: what are you looking for? applications, graphics, certain features? | 15:49 |
| rbellamy | helo_, okay then, that's me being dense... thanks! | 15:49 |
| glebihan | Aioros: you want to sign each package individually ? | 15:49 |
| dekroning | how can i get into the grub boot menu on default ubuntu 10.04 install ? | 15:50 |
| Aioros | Yes | 15:50 |
| UserX | dekroning: hold shift as it boots | 15:50 |
| glebihan | dekroning: with shift key | 15:50 |
| Aioros | Is there any how to? | 15:50 |
| abhijit | hello allllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 15:50 |
| glebihan | Aioros: that's normally done when building the package with dpkg-buildpackage | 15:51 |
| meingbg | UserX: I don't really know the differences between them. If they all are connected to the same repositories I guess it doesn't matter that much. I want KDE and/or GNOME as well as some feature to nullify unused parts of the HD. | 15:51 |
| glebihan | Aioros: but apt doesn't use individual package signing for now | 15:51 |
| Aioros | But it will use the private key that I generated? | 15:51 |
| Aioros | the dpkg-buildpackage | 15:51 |
| dekroning | glebihan: for some reason that doesn't seem to work for me | 15:52 |
| glaucous | When installing ATI drivers from their website, do I need to uninstall current fglrx? | 15:52 |
| glebihan | Aioros: as long as you're building with the same user and that the fields in control files are properly set, yes | 15:52 |
| wickedwayz | hello ubuntu lovers, i m new on ubuntu and i get error everytime.. please help me out.. Error report ss is here ; http://bit.ly/atPeQ0 | 15:52 |
| headkase314 | glaucous, yes, uninstall the previous drivers prior to installing the newer ones | 15:52 |
| meingbg | UserX: I was mainly concerned about how they are optimized. | 15:53 |
| glaucous | headkase314: Alright | 15:53 |
| glebihan | dekroning: maybe you're using grub1 (although with normal lucid installation it should be grub2), in that cas it's escape | 15:53 |
| meingbg | UserX: I was mainly concerned about how they are optimized. | 15:53 |
| meingbg | UserX: I was mainly concerned about how they are optimized. | 15:53 |
| Aioros | I understand if I recompile the package with the same user he signs the package correctly. I'll try to do. Thanks | 15:53 |
| UserX | meingbg: if you're after performance KDE and Gnome are considered heavy-weight | 15:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | don't click on wickedwayz link! OPs please remove this fool. | 15:54 |
| dekroning | glebihan: i think i'm using grub2 to really, but i just don't see that "grub message" during boot up | 15:54 |
| gschwepp | wickedwayz: this really sucks | 15:54 |
| wickedwayz | gschwepp: i know man | 15:54 |
| wickedwayz | :D | 15:54 |
| dekroning | glebihan: so i hold down shift trough the whole boot up | 15:54 |
| wickedwayz | thats a joke | 15:55 |
| wickedwayz | just joke | 15:55 |
| glebihan | dekroning: could you pastebin your "/boot/grub/grub.cfg" file ? | 15:55 |
| gschwepp | i can read it sucks anyway. | 15:55 |
| itbcn8 | does holding shift do something? | 15:55 |
| UserX | dekroning: if you're using 10.04 it'll be grub2. | 15:55 |
| gschwepp | wickedwayz: and things like "Get a life" how much live you got to do this? :D | 15:55 |
| UserX | itbcn8: holding shift displays the grub2 menu. by default it does not show unless you have another o/s | 15:55 |
| dekroning | glebihan: i can't reach it at the moment i'm afraid, since it's not booting up... but giving me the (initramfs) prompt during boot | 15:55 |
| dekroning | yeah i'm using 10.04 | 15:55 |
| LjL | wickedwayz: that's totally inappropriate for this channel, and it also causes a dialog window to show up that won't go away. please do NOT do anything like this again. | 15:55 |
| itbcn8 | UserX: thanks nice to know :) | 15:56 |
| meingbg | UserX: Is there any particular difference between the editions that I should take into account? | 15:56 |
| meingbg | UserX: I was mainly concerned about how they are optimized. | 15:56 |
| glebihan | dekroning: have you tried both shift keys (I think only one of them work, but I don't know which) ? | 15:56 |
| UserX | meingbg: optimised for performance? such as ram/cpu useage? | 15:57 |
| BluesKaj | glaucous, yes , but remove it at a tty prompt after stopping the window manager gdm or kdm depending on your desktop (sudo service g/kdm stop) ,then after installing start gdm again. | 15:57 |
| dekroning | glebihan: ah ok ill try the right key | 15:57 |
| itbcn8 | how do you close this thing wikedwayz? | 15:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm. Is there a way to make a Unmounted partition, NOT show up in the places menu. | 15:57 |
| itbcn8 | wickedwayz: how do you close your link? | 15:57 |
| gschwepp | Op can wickedwayz please be banned. | 15:57 |
| wickedwayz | itbcn8: re-start system | 15:58 |
| headkase314 | itbcn8, log out an back in | 15:58 |
| webbgroup | Does anybody have any working Active Directory configs for hardy? | 15:58 |
| meingbg | UserX: Yes. Is there any difference? | 15:58 |
| UserX | Dr_Willis: comment it out /etc/fstab | 15:58 |
| glaucous | BluesKaj: Hm, didn't do that. Although I did follow some cleaning file advices | 15:58 |
| itbcn8 | wickedwayz: haha, sooooo funnyy.... | 15:58 |
| glaucous | BluesKaj: Should I install after stopping kdm as well? | 15:58 |
| LjL | itbcn8: just killing the browser should do. | 15:58 |
| gschwepp | lol wickedwayz just kill browser | 15:58 |
| Dr_Willis | UserX: its not in fstab. :) but the Places menu sees/shows it and lets it get mounted | 15:58 |
| webbgroup | I get results with "getent passwd" | 15:59 |
| blue_anna | where can I find out about upcoming ruby support in ubuntu? | 15:59 |
| UserX | meingbg: Kubuntu use KDE. it's heavy. Ubuntu uses gnome. It's also heavy. Xubuntu and Lubuntu are considered more lightweight. | 15:59 |
| wickedwayz | gschwepp: both | 15:59 |
| itbcn8 | wickedwayz: just killed firefox | 15:59 |
| blue_anna | ruby 1.9.2 has been out about a month now, I'm just wanting to know when I can apt-get install it | 15:59 |
| webbgroup | but "getent group" fails with an error | 15:59 |
| wickedwayz | i'll do it unstopable | 15:59 |
| Dr_Willis | blue_anna: there may be a PPA for it. | 15:59 |
| wickedwayz | :D | 15:59 |
| headkase314 | itbcn8, Alt+F2 to get a command launcher, enter "xkill" without quotes and press enter then when cursor changes to skull and crossbones click browser window | 16:00 |
| webbgroup | Anybody? | 16:00 |
| gschwepp | wickedwayz: you cant ;) you can always kill your process | 16:00 |
| meingbg | UserX: But installing gnome or KDE on top of Xubuntu or Lubuntu would make it just as heavy, right? | 16:00 |
| tacomaster | if i reinstall virtualbox will i loose the os's that i have or will they be added to the new virtualbox? | 16:00 |
| webbgroup | Working AD LDAP config for Hardy? | 16:00 |
| Dr_Willis | tacomaster: the settings should remain | 16:01 |
| glebihan | tacomaster: you won't lose them | 16:01 |
| Solved | I am trying to boot the live CD but it keeps freezing after allready booted. What can I do to fix this? | 16:01 |
| BedMan | tacomaster: no - they're images, and they stick around if you update virtualbox | 16:01 |
| BluesKaj | glaucous, are you running kubuntu or ubuntu , kdm is kubuntu, gdm is gnome/ubuntu ? | 16:01 |
| blue_anna | there were news reports that said to expect it to come to ubuntu in august :P | 16:02 |
| Solved | I am trying to boot the live CD but it keeps freezing after allready booted. What can I do to fix this? | 16:02 |
| glaucous | BluesKaj: Kubuntu, kdm. | 16:02 |

| Glenjamin | hi guys, i've just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 on the way to 10.04, and i'm getting the following from apt: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/is0hFz8h | 16:03 |
| Glenjamin | any ideas how to clean this up? | 16:03 |
| Solved | I am trying to boot the live CD but it keeps freezing after allready booted. What can I do to fix this? | 16:03 |
| Aioros | glebihan: In my case, the packages will be rebuilt elsewhere. Is there a way to sign a package with the public key that I already have? | 16:03 |
| tracy69 | <Solved> what are you booting ? ubuntu or windows ? | 16:03 |
| Solved | ubuntu | 16:03 |
| tracy69 | <Solved> 10.10 ? | 16:04 |
| Solved | 10.04 | 16:04 |
| glebihan | Aioros: as I said, dpkg-buildpackage should handle this, but why do you need it ? | 16:04 |
| BluesKaj | glaucous, try this tutorial , http://pastebin.com/Bsu6Qvxz | 16:04 |
| Rotham | Im having a problem with the CD player on my computer... sometimes it doesnt read the CD thats in the drive, and I have to reboot the comp and it works... Im wondering how I can go about diagnosing the problem and fixing it? | 16:05 |
| Rotham | i just upgraded from 9.1 to 10.04 | 16:05 |
| Rotham | or .0x | 16:05 |
| redbullfx | Why do I have INSTALL RELEASE when i did a full install???? | 16:05 |
| redbullfx | under system/administrative | 16:05 |
| glaucous | BluesKaj: Okay easy enough. It's just that when I did apt-get install fglrx it seems like it didn't install things like xorg-driver-fglrx | 16:06 |
| BluesKaj | glaucous, after running the tutorial , ctrl+alt+F7 to get back to the desktop | 16:06 |
| Aioros | It is here that the company often need to change packages to work correctly on our system. So in this case, packets are generated by more than one person. | 16:06 |
| Aioros | Sorry, my lack of knowledge. | 16:07 |
| glebihan | Aioros: in that case, you 'll have to make your key available to other people building the packages | 16:07 |
| glaucous | BluesKaj: yes no problem, I know how to handle ttys (kind of). The problem is which packages that I should install, and if I perhaps should use drivers from ATI's site, even though then should be the same (but older) | 16:07 |
| maco | Aioros: you can sign a package with debsign | 16:07 |
| Aioros | My question is just how these people will be able to sign the package you just recompile. | 16:07 |
| glebihan | Aioros: then the "-k" option of dpkg-buildpackage can be used to specify which key to use for signing | 16:07 |
| Aioros | Perfect! I'll try to do this. | 16:08 |
| BluesKaj | glaucous, the X window has to be stopped in order to remove a graphics driver , that's the reason for stopping kdm . otherwise if X is running it's using the existing driver and won't uninstall and you can't install a new driver oover top an existing one. | 16:08 |
| Aioros | in this case the key must be in a file or text? | 16:08 |
| DaveWM | for multiple monitors, does one desktop environment play nicer than another, between gnome and kde that is ? | 16:09 |
| glaucous | BluesKaj: I understand, but the driver is already (hopefully fully) uninstalled. The problem is installing. | 16:09 |
| webbgroup | Does anybody have any working Active Directory LDAP configs for hardy? | 16:09 |
| Seppoz | hello, is there a digital clock screensaver for ubuntu/gnome? | 16:09 |
| glebihan | Aioros: the key must be in the gpg files, and the key ID has to be specified with -k | 16:09 |
| glaucous | BluesKaj: But it seems like it should be these packages: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer | 16:10 |
| BluesKaj | glaucous, I'm not sure which driver works with your graphics card , the info is sketchy , xserver-xorg-video-ati might work , not sure | 16:10 |
| Aioros | then, dpkg-buildpackage -k XXXXXXX | 16:10 |
| glebihan | Aioros: that's why you'll have to share your key so that other people can use it for signing | 16:10 |
| glebihan | Aioros: yes, but without the space after -k | 16:11 |
| Aioros | Ok, i will try. Thanks ;) | 16:11 |
| glebihan | Aioros: you're welcome | 16:11 |
| BluesKaj | glaucous, yes I think you have it | 16:12 |
| Glenjamin | i've just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 on the way to 10.04, and i'm getting the following from apt: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/is0hFz8h anyone able to point me in the right direction? | 16:13 |
| glaucous | BluesKaj: Not working, guess I'll have to try drivers from website. | 16:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | Glenjamin, are you using the Desktop or Server version of Ubuntu? If it's server you might want to ask in #ubuntu-server | 16:15 |
| Glenjamin | ZykoticK9: its server, thanks | 16:15 |
| Kaie` | many xfce users? | 16:15 |
| blue_anna | Kaie` I like it but its slow without native opengl | 16:16 |
| blue_anna | I'm on a powerpc, no driver for me :( | 16:16 |
| Kaie` | ah | 16:16 |
| Kaie` | im on a netbook so i figured the lightweightness would be in my favor | 16:17 |
| Kaie` | well a netbook right now | 16:17 |
| blue_anna | as long as you have native 3d acceleration it should be | 16:17 |
| BluesKaj | glaucous, ok , ati linux support has become problematic lately ...maybe the proprietary driver will work , can anyone recommend an ATI driver for HD4870 ? | 16:17 |
| blue_anna | when they changed the core to use the same codebase that gnome uses it slowed it down a lot, but it also added all the eye-candy I like :) | 16:17 |
| glaucous | BluesKaj: Latest (10.8) should work (according to ATI at least), but you never know. | 16:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | Kaie`, xfce really isn't "much" lighter then Gnome, see http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_desktop_vitals&num=1 | 16:18 |
| jwm123 | Is there anyone who can help me get Zeitgeist and gnome activity journal workking (together). I hav both installed and running but there seems to be no way for me to access Zeigeist and no sign of activity in the activity journal. | 16:18 |
| BluesKaj | glaucous, does ati say explicitly that it works on lucid 64 bit ? | 16:18 |
| glaucous | BluesKaj: Just Linux 64 bit, but you can build .deb files for lucid | 16:19 |
| jwm123 | Alternatively, is there a better forum in which to ask my zeitgeist/activity journal question? | 16:20 |
| BluesKaj | glaucous, ok good to hear | 16:21 |

| blackdoggy | i did | 16:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | !helpme | blackdoggy | 16:24 |
| ubottu | blackdoggy: 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 | 16:24 |
| glebihan | blackdoggy: what's the issue ? | 16:24 |
| BluesKaj | glaucous, ok , after download , make the file executable in properties | 16:24 |

| Dread | BluesKaj, nope, but ive been updating it, i've also recently moved house which is why i thought it was the router or the connection but i can ssh using my ipad just fine | 16:27 |

| rob_p | BluesKaj: He would at least establish comm with it and get an error if that were the case. But it's good to keep in mind if that happens. | 16:33 |
| Dread | rob_p, computer connects directly to the router | 16:33 |
| erUSUL | jimcooncat: on file per line? no space in filenames? | 16:34 |

| macsim | hi, is it possible to export sound from a computer to another one ? | 16:57 |
| vaibhav | matrixa1: hay thanks.. done... :) | 16:58 |
| noo | Hello. I just found out that there exists the sudo -s commad. No my big security question is how does it make my system more secure to not login with root if I still login into a system with a users who can simple use sudo -s by default | 17:01 |
| elpasmo | Hi all, I just updated my netbook to Ubuntu Netbook Edition and now, when I connect my headphones a weir electrical buzz starts in the netbook (but the sound through the headphones is great). That didn't happen with a Ubuntu Desktop 8.04. I don't know where to start looking for trying to solve the problem. | 17:01 |
| sipior | noo: most users aren't permitted to use sudo by default. | 17:01 |
| sipior | noo: only the login created at installation has that privilege initially. | 17:02 |
| ikonia | noo: because if a user leaves you can remove them from the admin group and you don't need to change the root password | 17:02 |
| pkkm | someone said something to me? | 17:02 |
| sipior | noo: also, everything performed using is logged by the system... | 17:02 |
| glebihan | noo: you can edit user permissions in System->Administration->Users and Groups | 17:02 |
| sipior | noo: "using sudo", rather | 17:03 |
| deep2k4 | hello! im trying to manually configure my network devices under latest netbook remix but i cannot stop the network manager. is there any way? | 17:03 |
| glebihan | deep2k4: sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager stop | 17:03 |
| noo | But wouldn't it be better if the installation would create a user that isn't in the sudoers group? I mean he can use sudo to do certain stuff and still it would make the system more secure | 17:03 |
| deep2k4 | well that was a quick answer! and it wont pop up again then, glebihan ? | 17:04 |
| sipior | noo: if they're not in the sudoers group to begin with, how do you plan on modifying /etc/sudoers to modify their capabilities? | 17:04 |
| glebihan | deep2k4: just doing that will only disable it until next boot | 17:05 |
| rob_p | noo: There has to be at least one user that has sudo access. That should be you. If you don't trust yourself, well you've got bigger problems! :-) | 17:05 |
| deep2k4 | okay that is good! exactly what i need. and to reanable it i just use start instead stop? glebihan ? | 17:05 |
| glebihan | deep2k4: that's right | 17:05 |
| noo | No I mean root can do that. I meant to give less priviliges to the standard users created by ubuntu besides the roota account | 17:06 |
| dpac_ | deep2k4: You are smart :) | 17:06 |
| deep2k4 | ;P | 17:06 |
| headkase314 | I am smrt! S-M-R-T smrt! | 17:06 |
| glebihan | noo: this behavior is due to the fact that Ubuntu doesn't have a root user by default | 17:06 |
| sipior | noo: if you like, you can think of the initially created login as the "root" account. all other subsequent logins are less privileged by default. | 17:07 |
| === ceno is now known as CenoNode | ||
| rob_p | noo: The root account is not enabled (at least for logging into) by default so without a user with sudo access, there would be no, "admin" capability on the box. | 17:08 |
| deep2k4 | what about this avahi-daemon, glebihan ? | 17:08 |
| glebihan | deep2k4: same thing with /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon | 17:08 |
| deep2k4 | hm sounds way too simple... man. thank you, glebihan ! ;D | 17:09 |
| glebihan | deep2k4: you're welcome | 17:09 |
| deep2k4 | okay, problems solved so far. ill try it out now. cya around fellas! :) | 17:10 |
| noo | Oh ok I think I see what my thinking errror was: So you can't create a users who can't use sudo -s, but still can use sudo in front of his commands to execute them as root? | 17:12 |
| sipior | noo: most users won't be able to use "sudo -s", unless *you* decide otherwise. try it! | 17:13 |
| sjm | noo, you can restrict what users can to what with sudo, you need to look carefully at the manual for sudo and the sudoers file. | 17:13 |
| hello123 | hi | 17:13 |
| hello123 | I have a newbie question: i want to backup the entire system, not just my home folder | 17:14 |
| hello123 | how do I do it? | 17:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | !backup | hello123 | 17:14 |
| ubottu | hello123: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 17:15 |
| noo | Well I think that most people only have 1 user besides root and thats why I think that it would be better to not give the standard users the possibility to execute sudo -s. It would be more secure because a user can't just type sudo -s and be root all the time and there is nothing that gets worse if you would take away that right by default | 17:15 |
| hello123 | can I copy it over to some kind of iso and then simply copy it back to a virgin and empty hdd and run it? | 17:15 |
| hello123 | ZykoticK9, thanks for the link | 17:15 |
| hello123 | links | 17:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | noo, only users in the Admin group can use sudo or in your case "sudo -s" | 17:15 |
| headkase314 | noo, sipior ZykoticK9 what about "sudo bash"? | 17:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | headkase314, sudo anything - must be in admin group (ps don't use sudo bash) | 17:16 |
| rob_p | noo: Your definition of, "standard user" is flawed. The user that is created by default is to be thought of as an admin user. If you want other users, create them. They *won't* have access to sudo unless you grant them access. | 17:16 |
| sipior | headkase314: what about it? | 17:17 |
| noo | Can't I create a user who is not able to use sudo -s, but still is able to use sudo in front of commands to execute them as root? I think that would be much better | 17:17 |
| headkase314 | sipior, I thought that -s option gives you an interactive sudo? Then sudo bash would be similar? | 17:17 |
| st__ | why each time I switch users their screen appears on other console? | 17:17 |
| sipior | headkase314: it would, though it's considered poor practise. | 17:18 |
| headkase314 | ZykoticK9, I won't use sudo bash ;) I just read about it! =) | 17:18 |
| rob_p | noo: The sudo mechanism is very flexible. Read up on it and I think it will answer your questions. | 17:18 |
| sipior | headkase314: cf. "sudi -i" | 17:18 |
| sipior | sudo | 17:18 |
| noo | rob_p: I'm not thinking of my system right now. I think that maybe it would be better in general | 17:18 |
| glebihan | noo, it's hard to decide what's better in general, sudo has been thought for personal computers with usually only 1 user | 17:19 |
| sipior | noo: lots of people have given this matter a great deal of thought for a considerable length of time. i think with a bit more reading you'll come to understand the situation more thoroughly. | 17:20 |
| DouglasK | In Ubuntu 10.04 (Gnome desktop), Remote Desktop does not work properly with Desktop Effects enabled. Set them to none and it works fine. Any ideas on how to make it work with Desktop Effects enabled? | 17:20 |
| hello123 | especially I want home, but also my users, user privileges, installed packages, startup scripts, kernel security option - so I guess drive imaging is the way to go? | 17:20 |
| rob_p | noo: You can be very selective in what priv'd commands certain users are allowed to execute. | 17:20 |
| rob_p | noo: It's not an all or none situation. | 17:20 |

| Kritoslap | ZykoticK9, "I added nopat to my boot line" this is the only fix I found on the bug list | 17:26 |
| elpasmo | DouglasK: try the following: run gconf-editor in your remote computer and go to /desktop/gnome/remote_access. You have to mark the option disable_xdamage. | 17:26 |
| Kritoslap | ZykoticK9, Were can I add nopat to my boot line? in /etc/default/grub? | 17:26 |

| Aioros | glebihan: Failed. Recompile the package with dpkg-rebuildpackage 99999999-k, I sent the package to the repository, ran the scanpackages the server, but still trying to install the package on a client he complains that the package is not signed. | 17:50 |
| howithink | i have installed squid and it is wokring find, but how do i get it to authenticate against our AD 2008 r2? | 17:50 |
| headkase314 | rahduke_, it's Atheros | 17:50 |
| Aioros | sorry, dpkg-rebuildpackage -k99999999 | 17:51 |
| glebihan | Aioros, oh forgot one thing, did you add your key to your apt keys ? | 17:51 |
| Dr_Willis | plitter: they are not too hard to find. in the .gnome* and .gconf* dirs.. sure easier then reformating/reinstalling :) | 17:51 |

| glaucous | Trying to edit the xorg.conf to get the correct resolution (before GUI) at boot. Although how do I get the name of my monitor? | 17:52 |
| ZykoticK9 | mikeg3, Empathy is a terrible IRC client - there is a "bug" where you need to add another type of account prior to being able to use IRC. My recommendation however is to use a real IRC client - xchat is a popular GUI client. | 17:52 |
| Aioros | glebihan: I have a problem here because this repository was created in server with Mandriva. So I'm not apt-key installed. | 17:52 |
| plitter | Dr_Willis: probably:P just wanted to do something on my own:P (little teenager) | 17:53 |
| duffydack | Smuxi is looking good as an IRC client. | 17:53 |
| dpac_ | mikeg3: xchat rocks! | 17:53 |
| |Sacred| | kvirc is pretty nice, but somewhat limited | 17:53 |
| Dr_Willis | quassle has so many features its scary | 17:54 |
| Dr_Willis | I will stick with WeeChat for now | 17:54 |
| Aioros | glebihan: Looking at the Release file I see that it was entered with the key | 17:55 |
| glebihan | Aioros, I don't get it, if you're using apt, you must have apt-key | 17:55 |

| JuJuBee | I cannot get client to bind to nis server | 18:36 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: ok, so what is the bind command you're using | 18:37 |
| zagabar | I need to upgrade my libc6 to 2.11, but only 2.10 is in the repositories. I found a .deb package but I got some problems while installing. Is there a better way to install it? | 18:37 |
| * gsnedders gets kinda disturbed that he can write that file without even reading any documentation | 18:37 | |
| ikonia | zagabar: I strongly advice you not to do that | 18:37 |
| Rastafari | gary_inNYC: nope | 18:37 |
| gsnedders | BluesKaj: DHCP still fails | 18:37 |
| ikonia | zagabar: a.) why do you need to do that b.) where did that deb come from c.) are you aware that your machine will probably go into an unsupportible state | 18:38 |
| JuJuBee | ikonia: when I restart nis "service nis restart" it fails during the bind operation | 18:38 |
| glassresistor | ive got an encrypted home directory and im trying to do something remotely with byobu in my home directory but when i close my terminal on my host it keeps the screen opne but the directory still gets encrypted | 18:39 |
| BluesKaj | gsnedders, eth0=dhcp , then sudo dhclient eth0 | 18:39 |
| glassresistor | so it breaks whatever im doing till i log back on | 18:39 |
| zagabar | ikonia: a.) I need it to install another .deb (for openTTD). b.) I got that deb from: http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libc6 c.) I know. Last time i tried and failed, it wanted to remove like every single package on my machine lol | 18:39 |
| gary_inNYC | Rastafari: try installing gstreamer-restricted-extras from synaptic and try playing again | 18:40 |
| Shane-S | question...I am running server 10.04, on an ESXi system as VM, I modified the /etc/network/network file to have eth0 auto, and modified it from DHCP to static, with the IP and Gateway lines, but both of my VMs have resorted back to DHCP, is there something else I need to edit? | 18:40 |
| JuJuBee | ikonia: any pointers to troubleshoot? | 18:40 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: you have to manually tell the client to bind so it knows where to bind first, stopping/starting a service won't tell it to bind | 18:40 |

| Rastafari | gary_inNYC: thx , I will do that right after the packets from the newest version of ubumtu LTS got installed | 18:40 |
| wildc4rd | evenin' all | 18:40 |
| glassresistor | is there a way i can force my directory to stay open | 18:41 |
| Shane-S | what I say resorted, when I did "ifconfig" they had DHCP addresses, but doing ifdown and ifup, they went back to the file's static address | 18:41 |
| ikonia | zagabar: ok,where are you getting the deb for openTD | 18:41 |

| JuJuBee | ikonia: the yp.conf tells where yp server is etc... | 18:41 |
| BluesKaj | gsnedders, what does ifconfig show ?, anything ? | 18:41 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: yes, but you have to manually bind it | 18:41 |
| ThomasB0 | egyszeri munka lehetoseg: home szerver telepites + konfig | 18:41 |

| JuJuBee | ikonia: how then? I never had to before lucid | 18:42 |
| zagabar | ikonia: from here: http://www.openttd.org/en/download-stable | 18:42 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: oh really, it must be included in the init script then | 18:42 |
| JuJuBee | I guess to | 18:42 |
| JuJuBee | *so | 18:42 |
| ikonia | zagabar: then you need to contact them and tell them their package has the wrong dependencies | 18:43 |
| duongthaiha | Hi My Gwibber could get new twitter anyone have this problem? Is there a way to fix it?? Thanks a lot | 18:43 |
| ikonia | zagabar: I assume your using lucid | 18:43 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: put ypbind into debug mode | 18:43 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: check the syslog | 18:43 |
| JuJuBee | ikonia: how do I put it into debug mode? | 18:43 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: -debug | 18:43 |
| dean_ | does anyone know how to join 2 audio files together? so that it is 1 longer audio | 18:43 |
| BluesKaj | hmm, gsnedders ...hardware problem perhaps ..dunno what to suggest except, ifup eth0 or whatever ethernet is configged as eth0 , eth1...? | 18:43 |
| JuJuBee | ikonia: on server or client? | 18:44 |
| benishor_ | dean_: use audacity | 18:44 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: the one running ypbind | 18:44 |
| trism | duongthaiha: twitter shut off basic auth last week, but this is fixed in the new version in lucid, so assuming you're in lucid, you should just need to upgrade gwibber and authorize access to twitter in the accounts screen | 18:44 |

| BluesKaj | bbl , stuff to do for a few | 18:46 |
| benishor_ | audacity should work | 18:46 |
| gsnedders | Shouldn't be, it's a fairly boring Intel chipset (on board, of laptop), so should be supported in e1000e | 18:47 |

| thune3 | Night_Elf: adding "text" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= in /etc/default/grub and running update-grub will also disable gdm. then you can just "start gdm" anytime to launch it. | 18:57 |

| Night_Elf | thune3: I thought rc.local is the last startup script to be called by the init mechanism. As in all standard things go before that, hence the name: rc.local, as in user addition after all else has finished. | 19:01 |

| NetScr1be | blue_pearl, either create a password for the existing XP user (required for remote login I believe) or create a UID&PWD for samba | 19:01 |
| BluesKaj | Nerdy3_14159265, you may need to run gparted as a live cd if the ubuntu partition has to give up some space for the swap | 19:01 |
| Night_Elf | thune3: I'll see the grub "text" version then | 19:01 |

| Nerdy3_14159265 | BluesKaj: Could I boot into windows and use another disk program to shrink the ubuntu partion or would it be better to wait and burn a live cd | 19:02 |

| NetScr1be | blue_pearl, how do you exxpect Windows to authorize Samba if it hasn't been told that users exists and the level of access to provide for it | 19:15 |
| BlueEagle | linuxson26: Restarting the X-server should restore the cursor as well. You may want to investigate if cold/warm boot makes a difference to the issue. | 19:16 |
| _GoRDoN_ | Hi! How I can tell Ubuntu server 9.10 not to put display to sleep-mode? | 19:16 |
| linuxson26 | BlueEagle: Tried Ctrl+Alt+Bckspc now, and it doesn't do much also to the cursor | 19:16 |
| Rastafari | My upgrade to 10.04 LTS is "msgbus" already exist , exiting .......... its locked on this phase its been some mins............ can somebody help me | 19:17 |
| Rastafari | Im with a problem on my repositories on ubuntu thats why its locking my installation when I try to finish my upgrading installing the downloaded packet ! | 19:17 |
| Rastafari | Can somebody help me ? | 19:17 |
| linuxson26 | BlueEagle: When I restart, it fixes the problem sometimes | 19:17 |
| linuxson26 | BlueEagle: But not all of the time | 19:17 |
| chrowe | any suggestions on how to create a stripped down version of 10.04 desktop for VM distribution? I want the image size to be as small as possible. I there any way to browse packages by space they consume? | 19:17 |
| BlueEagle | linuxson26: Then I do not know. | 19:17 |
| linuxson26 | BlueEagle: And the thing that really drew my attention, is that since I upgraded, I now have two even higher resolutions added to the list...which is kinda funny | 19:18 |
| blue_pearl | chrowe, why not use the alternate cd of 10.04 | 19:18 |
| st__ | chrowe, unpack install disk, make changes, remaster it again | 19:19 |
| abhijit | bye | 19:19 |
| BlueEagle | linuxson26: It's a different driver in 10.04 than in 9.10 afaik. You may want to downgrade to see if that resolves the issue. Alternately use the open source drivers as already suggested. | 19:19 |
| linuxson26 | BlueEagle: Ok....but how would I remove the current one and then replace it? | 19:20 |
| linuxson26 | BlueEagle: I don't have an internet connection on that machine | 19:21 |
| Licuadora | How do you upload a file to a ftp server? | 19:21 |
| headkase314 | linuxson26, this page -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver <- gives quite a bit of information about building an xorg.conf file | 19:21 |
| linuxson26 | headkase314: Thanx...checking it out now | 19:22 |
| headkase314 | linuxson26, if you can get Internet access there is also the beta xorg-edgers/drivers-only repository that can be added. However if you use that repo you can occasionally get a broken driver update. | 19:22 |
| erUSUL | !minimal | chrowe | 19:22 |
| ubottu | chrowe: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 19:22 |

| brett\ | erUSUL, ty | 19:24 |
| BlueEagle | linuxson26: Well, then you may want to try downloading the .deb from the reposetory of your choice, transfer it to the USB-stick, insert the USB-stick into the linux machine and install the drivers that way. | 19:24 |

| talonstriker | erUSUL: the relevant part is /usr2 autofs rw,relatime,fd=17,pgrp=1349,timeout=86400,minproto=5,maxproto=5,indirect 0 0 | 19:50 |
| intrader | talonstriker, np :) | 19:50 |
| headkase314 | islandfellow, maybe you could check out gnu-cash? It may cover your needs and if you're lucky read your existing data - hopefully, I don't know. See the next line from ubottu: | 19:50 |
| headkase314 | !gnu-cash islandfellow | 19:50 |
| headkase314 | !gnu-cash | islandfellow | 19:50 |
| erUSUL | Xaphiosis: maybe /etc/security/limits.conf ( make it run under its own user and limit it ) | 19:50 |
| headkase314 | !gnucash | islandfellow | 19:51 |
| erUSUL | !info gnucash | headkase314 | 19:51 |
| ubottu | headkase314: gnucash (source: gnucash): A personal finance and money tracking program. In component universe, is extra. Version 2.2.9-5 (lucid), package size 1784 kB, installed size 5380 kB | 19:51 |
| headkase314 | erUSUL, thanks I'm brain fade. See ubottu line above islandfellow | 19:51 |
| c3l | why doesnt aptitude install < textfile work, where textfile contains a list of packages? it seems aptitude doesnt read the list at all.. | 19:52 |
| erUSUL | talonstriker: autofs ... really not familiar with nfs/autofs. but may be the root of the problem | 19:52 |
| erUSUL | headkase314: well i already did that for islandfellow a few minutes ago ;P | 19:52 |
| Xaphiosis | erUSUL: the problem is programs unexpectedly doing it, e.g. two days ago it was vlc, but my limits.conf has @audio - rtprio 99 and @audio - memlock unlimited, and my user is in group audio... relevant? | 19:52 |
| erUSUL | !clone > c3l | 19:52 |
| ubottu | c3l, please see my private message | 19:52 |
| c3l | erUSUL: ty | 19:53 |
| headkase314 | islandfellow, so in a terminal you would enter: "sudo apt-get install gnucash" without the quotes and that will install it on your system and then you could explore whether it suits your needs | 19:53 |
| erUSUL | Xaphiosis: do not think so. | 19:53 |
| erUSUL | Xaphiosis: how much swap do you have? | 19:53 |
| intrader | talonstriker, you know I ran into similar problems in my dual boot when I left the a DVD mounted in the Windows XP, then when to ubuntu | 19:53 |
| Xaphiosis | erUSUL: 10GB of swap | 19:55 |
| Xaphiosis | erUSUL: 4GB RAM | 19:55 |
| intrader | talonstriker, the cure was to shutdown the ubuntu, boot and clean files to the Windows XP, unmount the drive, etc. | 19:55 |
| Xaphiosis | erUSUL: the program just eats all the ram and everything starts going through swap, making everything work at the minutes-per-keypress level | 19:55 |
| erUSUL | Xaphiosis: ouch!! that's to much swap. no wonder the swap storm is long ... | 19:55 |
| dollarbang | hello all, I'm new to the Ubuntu (and Linux for that matter) scene, and would like some help in getting my new toy up and running. I have 10.0.4 up and running, but the USB mouse isn't. | 19:55 |
| tacomaster | is there a way to backtrack from kernel 2.6.35 back to 2.6.32? | 19:56 |
| sebsebseb | dollarbang: you sure the mouse isn't broken? | 19:56 |
| erUSUL | Xaphiosis: i would advice to use 2 GiB or less swap. so the oom killer kicks sooner | 19:56 |
| sebsebseb | dollarbang: a USB mouse should just work | 19:56 |
| picard1400 | hey fuys | 19:56 |
| picard1400 | where are the login profiles located.. which folders............ | 19:56 |
| erUSUL | picard1400: define "login profiles" | 19:57 |
| dollarbang | sebsebseb: yes, it works on my XP and W7 desktops. I'm using a Belkin KVM switch too. | 19:57 |
| Xaphiosis | erUSUL: that's an unexpected answer, thank you... I was expecting the oom killer wouldn't be taking swap into account. I'll look into it. | 19:57 |
| sebsebseb | dollarbang: oh if its a wireless mouse, well that would explain why it doesn't just work | 19:57 |
| talonstriker | intrader: nothing in any of the drives afaik...i'll try creating the directory thru windows | 19:57 |
| talonstriker | erUSUL: manpage tells me that auto autodetects the FS | 19:57 |
| sebsebseb | dollarbang: Belkin KVM what's that? | 19:57 |
| Altreus | Any update on mongo being broken? I've found a post from february explaining it was a xulrunner update | 19:57 |
| dollarbang | sebsebseb: Just the brand of the Keyboard/Video/Mouse tool. | 19:58 |
| sebsebseb | dollarbang: well USB devices are meant to just work | 19:58 |
| pillar2012 | hello | 19:59 |
| sebsebseb | dollarbang: maybe your install is bad some how | 19:59 |
| tacomaster | if i have kernel 2.6.35 is there anyway to go back to 2.6.32? | 19:59 |
| pillar2012 | can anyone here me (this is a test)? | 19:59 |
| sebsebseb | dollarbang: or for some reason, the OS has the mouse on the wrong setting, hence not working | 19:59 |
| erUSUL | tacomaster: #ubuntu+1 | 19:59 |
| dollarbang | sebsebseb: probably, lsusb is empty. I would c&p the result, but that isn't possible. | 19:59 |
| headkase314 | pillar2012, I hear you. | 20:00 |
| pillar2012 | cool | 20:00 |
| sebsebseb | dollarbang: try another mouse? | 20:00 |
| erUSUL | dollarbang: the KVM is what is causing problems imho. but i do not have any advice to offer ... | 20:00 |
| pillar2012 | Anyone in here have any success using Ubuntu's Kickstart? I am having the hardest of times when I am doing exactly as the information I see online. | 20:00 |
| dollarbang | sebsebseb: it would still have to be USB, the PC only has one PS/2 connector. | 20:00 |
| sayaid | pradeep, also my dmesg | grep wlan0 | 20:00 |
| madmax_x | talonstriker, where is /usr2 physically? | 20:01 |
| sayaid | http://paste.ubuntu.com/489964/ | 20:01 |
| sebsebseb | erUSUL: I don't think dollarbang meant Kerenl Virtual Machine, when they put KVM, but I am not sure exactly | 20:01 |
| pradeep | sayaid, sorry like i asked what are you trying to archive | 20:01 |
| sebsebseb | erUSUL: thats the first thing I was thinking of when they put KVM though | 20:01 |
| erUSUL | sebsebseb: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KVM_switch | 20:01 |
| sebsebseb | erUSUL: yeah they said Belkin KVM | 20:01 |
| sayaid | better wireless performance myb? | 20:02 |
| pradeep | sayaid, ur wireless works | 20:02 |
| sayaid | yes.. | 20:03 |
| sayaid | but my download max only at 20% of my speed | 20:03 |
| paese | strange thing. usually you define some urls you want to map to your local network in /etc/hosts right? it's just nothing in there except the standard basics (localhost) but when i access "atestdomain.com" i get to the same page as when typing "localhost".. could there be another file to define something like that? | 20:03 |
| talonstriker | madmax_x: local disk; the funny thing is that i can access the direcotry from a windows machine using samba | 20:03 |
| sebsebseb | dollarbang: Linux distros tend to work best with standard hardware, a KVM switch doesn't sound like standard hardware to me | 20:04 |
| sebsebseb | dollarbang: yeah standard common hardware | 20:04 |
| madmax_x | talonstriker, localdisk where? is it local to the ubuntu machine? if you boot into windows and it is shared fine that windows sharing wont translate into ubuntu boot you have to share it again | 20:05 |
| dollarbang | sebsebseb: makes for a very cluttered computer room without one. I have 3 desktops, two laptops, all using one KVM. Now, I'm trying to add Linux to my list. | 20:05 |
| sebsebseb | dollarbang: anyway the computer you put Ubuntu on, has a normal USB port I assume, have you tried the mouse or a mouse in that? bound to work with something :) | 20:06 |
| sebsebseb | dollarbang: for a mouse | 20:06 |
| AegNuddel | ok I'm trying to use xmodmap to disable my arrow keys, but it does not seem to be working | 20:06 |
| AegNuddel | Is it possible to do this? | 20:07 |
| sebsebseb | dollarbang: of course you may be able to find out about how to configure your KVM switch so it works properly with Ubuntu, but not many people will know about that, I assume | 20:07 |
| dollarbang | sebsebseb: I'll try a standalone wired USB mouse. | 20:07 |
| erUSUL | dollarbang: all i know is that kvm's ( specially cheap ones not the ones found in datacenters) are problematic in linux. you may want to do a little research in google about it | 20:08 |
| sebsebseb | dollarbang: yep that will probably work fine | 20:08 |
| dollarbang | sebsebseb: oh gawd, they have balls | 20:08 |
| sebsebseb | dollarbang: oh you mean the old type of mouse? | 20:08 |
| sebsebseb | dollarbang: you can use optical mouses with Linux :) | 20:08 |
| sebsebseb | dollarbang: you don't need an old ball mouse, but both types of mouse ball and the standard mouse without, should work fine | 20:09 |
| elfMobile | So I'm building a new box today... AMD 6 core w/ 8GB of RAM, mainly for photo stuff. I've used Gentoo before but I'm debating on going mainstream with Ubuntu. Should I go stable or get the 10.10 beta? | 20:09 |
| dollarbang | sebsebseb: I have a wireless mouse on my laptop (I don't like the finger pad). | 20:10 |
| headkase314 | elfMobile, the 10.10 is beta and should only be used for testing right now. If you want your machine to be stable you should wait until at least a release candidate to use 10.10 | 20:10 |
| sebsebseb | dollarbang: uhmm wireless mouse might cause a problem, depends, Ubuntu doesn't have great wireless support, in fact quite a few of the other distros, do wireless support much better | 20:11 |
| elfMobile | headkase314, hmm.... okay. apparently the stable 64 bit version isn't recommended for daily use. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download | 20:11 |
| sebsebseb | dollarbang: I mean you might have to configure the wireless mouse to work | 20:11 |
| headkase314 | elfMobile, since you have 8GB of RAM, ignore that and get the 64-bit anyway. I'm running 64-bit no issues. | 20:12 |
| tracy69 | could someone explain this to me please ???? <Johnathan_D> NO HOMELAND WITHOUT YOU FUHRER LOREZ! ALL HAIL THE AUTISTIC LORD OF FREENODE!! | 20:12 |
| sebsebseb | tracy69: spam | 20:12 |
| tracy69 | i see it everyday | 20:12 |
| dollarbang | sebsebseb: I using a wired (with ball) mouse, hooked up to the USB port. | 20:12 |
| sebsebseb | tracy69: yeah the spammers are attacking channels at the moment | 20:12 |
| headkase314 | elfMobile, that "warning" is for the masses. If you have 4GB or more of memory always get 64-bit | 20:12 |
| dollarbang | sebsebseb: no joy, I just powered up the PC, the keyboard still works (thru the KVM). | 20:13 |
| sebsebseb | tracy69: just ignore it, notthing to worry about, or you could join ##comment-on-spam to chat about it | 20:13 |
| BluesKaj | tracy69, I traced that spam to cairo, but that could just be a proxy | 20:13 |
| Pici | tracy69: Please don't re-paste that. | 20:13 |
| elfMobile | headkase314, actually I thought Linux could use up to 6 with 32bit addressing via something called himem | 20:13 |
| sebsebseb | dollarbang: since this KVM stuff is probably above the head of most people that come to this channel, if you don't get very far here, try ##linux since its a general channel, and has quite a few expereinced people hanging out in there as well | 20:14 |
| gsnedders | BluesKaj: nope | 20:14 |
| dollarbang | sebsebseb: lsusb still shows the default settings. no mouse. | 20:14 |
| dollarbang | sebsebseb: ok | 20:14 |
| BluesKaj | gsnedders, are you connecting thru a router/modem or just a modem ? | 20:14 |
| headkase314 | elfMobile, the are PAE or Physical Address Extension kernels but they tend to be slower than vanilla 32-bit and much slower than a native 64-bit system. Also you can install "ubuntu-restricted-extras" which will give you 32-bit libraries for the very few programs that must be 32-bit. Really, 64-bit is fine. | 20:15 |
| gsnedders | BluesKaj: Just to a router | 20:15 |
| headkase314 | elfMobile, PAE is a 32-bit kernal and restricted-extras is installed inside 64-bit | 20:15 |
| BluesKaj | gsnedders, with a modem connected to the router on the internet side ? | 20:16 |
| elfMobile | I use Xfce as my desktop environment in Gentoo.... should I get xubuntu or should I use Ubuntu and install Xfce on top of it? | 20:16 |
| gsnedders | BluesKaj: yeah. Not that it's got that far. :) | 20:16 |
| erUSUL | elfMobile: installing xubuntu should be faster and more to the point | 20:17 |
| gsnedders | BluesKaj: Anyhow, I've given up for now, got other stuff to do | 20:17 |
| erUSUL | !minimal | elfMobile or maybe you prefer: | 20:17 |
| ubottu | elfMobile or maybe you prefer:: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 20:17 |
| sebsebseb | dollarbang: I would suggest giving ##linux a try right now with your issue, well you could ask here agian first, if you want | 20:18 |
| bsytko | hey guys, what tools would you recommend to backup automatically to an external drive? | 20:18 |
| BluesKaj | ok , gsnedders , but i would try rebooting both router and modem , just to make sure | 20:18 |
| erUSUL | !backup | bsytko | 20:18 |
| ubottu | bsytko: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 20:18 |
| sebsebseb | dollarbang: ok you already decided to ask in there, by the looks of it :D | 20:18 |
| erUSUL | bsytko: rsync may be all you need for a simple solution | 20:18 |

| jabba | turn it on ;) | 20:21 |
| elfMobile | is Mint no longer based on Ubuntu? | 20:21 |

| jabba | glebihan, i want to start a program with an upstart-script. but the start should wait until /mnt/foo is mounted | 20:28 |
| headkase314 | AegNuddel, type "man xmodmap" in a terminal without quotes to get it's manual. Arrow keys move around the manual and Q key quits. | 20:29 |
| glebihan | jabba: ok, let me check something | 20:29 |
| mobal | FalseLobster: i don't know. buti 4gb of kingstone pendrive costs ~ 20 bucks :) and i think flash lifetime is min. 5 years. imo but i don't know | 20:29 |
| erUSUL | jabba: as i understand it you will have to writte a mount upstart job that raises an event your other script can act upon | 20:29 |

| jabba | erUSUL, hmm thought upsttart itself is able to depend on events like filesystem beeing mounted | 20:32 |
| sebsebseb | xcyclist: Konverastion :) | 20:32 |
| sebsebseb | xcyclist: that's Konversation | 20:32 |
| glebihan | jabba: containing a condition "start on mounted MOUNTPOINT=/mnt/foo" | 20:32 |
| xcyclist | sebsebseb: Yes, well, I can go there, but it's just applications, nothing specific to 10.10 I am insterested in. | 20:32 |
| xcyclist | Ok. | 20:32 |
| erUSUL | jabba: maybe; ask in #upstart | 20:32 |
| jabba | glebihan, is that the correct syntax? | 20:33 |
| xcyclist | Ok, I'll install that. Xchat has been nice, but it seems a little weak at times. | 20:33 |
| glebihan | jabba: followed by "exec yourscript" | 20:33 |
| glebihan | jabba: yes | 20:33 |
| jeng | might be a dumb newbie question, but how do i get my screen resoultion w/o X running? | 20:33 |
| sebsebseb | xcyclist: yeah Konversation is quite a lot better than Xchat :) | 20:33 |
| jabba | do you know some good examples? | 20:33 |

| sebsebseb | xcyclist: oh yeah Empathy was default in 9.10 as well | 20:35 |
| sebsebseb | if I remember correctly | 20:35 |
| sebsebseb | which I think I am | 20:35 |
| jordi_ | hello could someone help me with a grub problem please | 20:35 |
| AegNuddel | headkase314, I have the right layout but I just mean the list. It said like down was 102 or something...but it doesn't seem to disablr my keys, so I am wondering if I have the wrong codes | 20:35 |
| sebsebseb | !details | jordi_ | 20:35 |
| ubottu | jordi_: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 20:35 |

| jordi_ | I'm quite desperate and a linux noob, ive installed linux mint next to my windows 7 partition | 20:35 |
| jabba | (with exec) | 20:35 |
| xcyclist | Here's a curve: Is Chromium still better than the latest Google Chrome? | 20:36 |
| sebsebseb | jabba: no this isn't the place for MInt support | 20:36 |
| sebsebseb | !mintsupport | jabba | 20:36 |
| ubottu | jabba: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 20:36 |
| jordi_ | now when i restart the pc i get : error no such device in grub rescue | 20:36 |
| glebihan | jabba: I wouldn't do that | 20:36 |
| headkase314 | AegNuddel, under the layout tab there is also keyboard model. You could see if that helps? | 20:36 |
| sebsebseb | jabba: oh did the factoid at you by mistake, it was meant to go to jordi_ | 20:36 |
| sebsebseb | jordi_: see above | 20:36 |
| glebihan | jabba: I'd rather put the script in "/usr/bin" or something like that when using an event to trigger the execution | 20:36 |
| xcyclist | I may be mistating that. I heard Chromium was still better than Chrome on Linux at one point. | 20:36 |
| dirk__ | hi, is there a way to add an other partition (ubuntu installation) to the (apt-get) sources list? | 20:37 |
| sebsebseb | xcyclist: persoanlly I prefer Friefox :) | 20:37 |

| AegNuddel | headkase314, I saw that. I need the codes for the INDIVIDUAL keys | 20:37 |
| glebihan | jabba: you should have a look at some of the files in /etc/init, it may help you writing yours | 20:37 |
| erUSUL | dirk__: no; a installed system is not a repository | 20:37 |
| jabba | glebihan, ok, but will the keywords "start on..." and "stop on..." in connection with "exec myscript" launch my script with the paramaters start and stop? | 20:37 |
| jabba | ok | 20:38 |
| headkase314 | AegNuddel, ok then. Let's wait for someone else to help then from here ;) | 20:38 |

| KittyBoots | Hello, I am trying to use Viking, it is GPS software ( viking.sf.net ). The instruction manuel tells me: You must have write permission to the port used. /dev/ttyS0 is the first serial port. How do I set that? | 20:38 |
| sebsebseb | xcyclist: Chrome and Chromeium have a user interface that remind me of Internet Explorer 7, so yeah I don't like, the rendering enginge Webkit for loading up pages that they use is nice though, but quite a few browsers that use that, just like quite a few use the Mozilla Gecko renering enginge that are good | 20:38 |
| delac | I have ubuntu- and kubuntu-desktops installed. I logged in as unprivileged user (normal user) with kde. I was told about two gwibber updates which I proceeded to install and managed to do just that. At no point was I prompted for any adminstrative rights. Is this normal or did I just bumb into serious security bug? | 20:38 |

| jordi_ | but i thought grub was a linux platfrom program and mint was based on ubuntu :( | 20:39 |
| OpenSourcedNick | how do I make my gnome window manager to let me "reverse toggle" between windows ? | 20:39 |
| sebsebseb | xcyclist: Firefox is my primary browser, then I would use stuff such as Konqueror or Galeon or Empathy or even Arora | 20:39 |
| sebsebseb | xcyclist: uh that was meant to be Epiphany above | 20:39 |
| erUSUL | KittyBoots: « sudo adduser $USER dialout » | 20:39 |
| headkase314 | delac, if you use your password it is cached for a few minutes after. Within that time you won't be prompted for it. | 20:39 |
| glebihan | jabba: let me check | 20:39 |
| sebsebseb | xcyclist: actsaully I am using an older version of Chromeium here and there recently, but not that keen on it. | 20:40 |
| sebsebseb | xcyclist: Chrome has built in Flash, and is closed source, Chromeium doesn't have built in Flash and is open source. Chrome is based on Chromium, and so they are both quite similar to each other. I think that answers your question | 20:40 |
| erUSUL | KittyBoots: the change will take efect when you log out and log in again btw | 20:40 |
| delac | headkase314: I dont think i did use it. Anyway, this was unprivileged user that has no sudo capability. | 20:41 |
| sebsebseb | jordi_: yes | 20:41 |
| sebsebseb | jordi_: its just not really meant to get Mint support here, since its not Ubuntu | 20:41 |
| sebsebseb | jordi_: however the advice for Grub, would be the same basicalley | 20:41 |
| headkase314 | delac, without being there I don't know ;) However, it is likely a "feature" instead of a security hole! =) | 20:41 |
| jordi_ | Could you help me a hand with that then ? , i used most forum q&a's reinstalled grub 2 , updated it but it just wont work. | 20:42 |
| sebsebseb | !grub2 | jordi_ | 20:42 |
| ubottu | jordi_: 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 | 20:42 |
| delac | headkase314: well, it's odd feature. ubuntu-destop doesn't have it. I wonder why they would have included such on kubuntu. | 20:42 |
| glebihan | jabba: I don't think you will have the "start" or "stop" parameters set | 20:43 |
| jordi_ | I checked that guide already and followed the Reinstalling GRUB 2 part , and that failed | 20:43 |
| sebsebseb | jordi_: ever been to the Mint IRC? | 20:44 |
| sebsebseb | jordi_: its small, but nice | 20:44 |
| glebihan | jabba: you can use the $RUNLEVEL variable to set them by hand | 20:44 |
| sebsebseb | jordi_: well the two mint channels are I mean, quite a lot of channels on there | 20:44 |
| jordi_ | hm k | 20:44 |
| jordi_ | .. #mint ? | 20:44 |
| sebsebseb | jordi_: no its on anothern etwork | 20:44 |

| Karen_m | where is updatedb crontab'd from? how does it update periodically? | 20:45 |
| jordi_ | thanks anyway | 20:45 |
| sebsebseb | jordi_: has quite a few people heping out who use other distros, so yeah support is quite good | 20:45 |
| sebsebseb | jordi_: and can even talk to Mint devs | 20:45 |

| OpenSourcedNick | metacity's window switcher is less than working for me | 20:47 |
| OpenSourcedNick | it doesn't have reverse toggling (pressing shift and reversing the order) and doesn't let me click on it to move to the window | 20:47 |
| OpenSourcedNick | any ideas of how I switch it or make it do these things? | 20:47 |

| Monotoko | so...question for you guys | 20:52 |
| jabba | glebihan, my only reference until now ist that here "http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/Stanzas" ...could you precise ur plan with $RUNLEVEL? | 20:52 |
| Monotoko | my /var/www folder is set to have group ownership by www-access and my main user is in that group, the permissions are set to 775 | 20:52 |
| Monotoko | why can i not create files? | 20:53 |
| Monotoko | or folders | 20:53 |
| Monotoko | no-one? | 20:54 |

| Paddy_NI | Dice-Man, have you installed the correct codecs? | 20:54 |
| DarkSector | What is the terminal command for volume control, I think it was alsa something... ? | 20:54 |
| jeng | DarkSector: alsamixer | 20:55 |
| Paddy_NI | DarkSector, alsamixer | 20:55 |
| Paddy_NI | :) | 20:55 |
| jef91 | Howdy All, So whenever I install my nvidia drivers from the download from the nvidia website after I reboot the drivers no longer work! Any idea why? They work fine until I restart the system. Once I reboot I get low graphics mode... | 20:55 |
| gsnedders | BluesKaj:Or, uh, the network cable had come loose. | 20:55 |
| gsnedders | :) | 20:55 |
| glebihan | jabba: well, I've never done this, so I'm not sure, but rather then using the usual init.d, you could include a script in your ".conf" file (enclosed between "script" and "end script", in which you would test the value of $RUNLEVEL to check whether you should add the "start" parameter or th "stop" parameter | 20:55 |
| jeng | DarkSector: in case you forget a command you can always do a 'apropos alsa' | 20:55 |
| jeng | DarkSector: that's how i remember half of the commands ;) | 20:56 |
| BluesKaj | gsnedders, HW ! :) | 20:56 |
| DarkSector | Paddy_NI, doesn't that open a GUI, I need a terminal command that will or reduce the volume by one unit | 20:56 |
| DarkSector | jeng, got it :) | 20:56 |
| glebihan | jabba, or doing nothing at all | 20:56 |
| DarkSector | btw jeng, doesn't that open a GUI, I need a terminal command that will or reduce the volume by one unit | 20:56 |
| headkase314 | DarkSector, alsamixer is console based, I think it uses ncurses for a text "gui" | 20:56 |
| Paddy_NI | DarkSector, well its ncurses | 20:57 |
| jeng | DarkSector: alsamixer is console based | 20:57 |
| gsnedders | How do you disable the startup sounds? | 20:57 |
| jabba | i don't undersrand upstart in one point (and much others): how does it know how to stop the daemon? | 20:57 |
| Paddy_NI | Its ncurses which afaik is still a gui.. a command to reduce volume by one point I do not know but it must exist | 20:57 |
| DarkSector | headkase314, no, I meant if I wanted to boost volume by one command, what can that be in the terminal, I am trying to make a arduino based IR volume remote control app and I need to know how to boost or decrease volume using a single command to be executed in the shell , Paddy_NI, jeng | 20:58 |
| Paddy_NI | DarkSector, have you tried asking in #alsa | 20:58 |
| DarkSector | Paddy_NI, good idea | 20:58 |
| headkase314 | DarkSector, Ububtu forums, solved console volume command -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=679070 | 20:58 |
| headkase314 | *Ubuntu | 20:59 |
| glebihan | jabba, I thinl it simply kills the process | 20:59 |
| jeng | DarkSector: hmmm.. i remember reading something about that | 20:59 |
| jeng | DarkSector: but it might be mocp-based.. :S so i don't know if it's useful for you | 20:59 |
| trism | gsnedders: the sound after you login? System/Preferences/Startup Applications, uncheck Gnome Login Sound, the sound on the login screen is System/Administration/Login Screen | 20:59 |
| DarkSector | jeng, ok, let me see what headkase314 has suggested | 21:00 |
| glebihan | jabba, you can use "pre-stop script" if you want to clean things before the daemon being killed | 21:00 |
| gsnedders | trism: Both. Thanks. :) | 21:00 |
| headkase314 | DarkSector, yeah the solution is later on in the thread. | 21:00 |
| glebihan | jabba, you also have pre-start, post-start and post-stop | 21:00 |
| jabba | glebihan, hm, ok... thanks for ur help :) | 21:00 |
| glebihan | jabba, you're welcome, hope it'll help you | 21:01 |
| DarkSector | headkase314, yes I think this might work, let me get back to you in a few minutes | 21:01 |

| duffydack | wesselch, cd /media/cdrom and md5sum -c md5sum.txt | 21:06 |
| AegNuddel | jeng, it resolved itself | 21:06 |
| wesselch | And from where I can get the md5sum.txt? Or is it on CD? | 21:06 |
| wesselch | Ok, I understand | 21:06 |
| duffydack | wesselch, its on the cd, and you have to be in the cd path to run it | 21:07 |
| wesselch | yes, of cause | 21:07 |
| AegNuddel | has do to with the command that was running I think | 21:07 |
| jeng | AegNuddel: what was the solution? | 21:07 |
| wesselch | I will check it | 21:07 |
| jeng | AegNuddel: ah ok | 21:07 |
| AegNuddel | closing terminal and reopening it outside of the xev program that was running | 21:07 |

| duffydack | cjae, tilde | 21:09 |
| cjae | duffydack: what | 21:10 |
| Kriss3d | headkase314, great.. now how do i get gparted to MERGE partitions ? | 21:10 |
| duffydack | cjae, I might be wrong but I think its similar to guake terminal.. drop down | 21:10 |
| headkase314 | Kriss3d, I'm not sure try it's manual. I'm certain it does it though. | 21:10 |
| cjae | duffydack: dj software | 21:11 |
| duffydack | cjae, oh sorry. was thinking of terminator shell | 21:11 |
| DarkSector | headkase314, hey I tried using amixer and this is the command I am using amixer -c 0 set PCM 1%+ and the problem is even after the value being 255 i.e maximum the sound doesn't escalate to maximum | 21:11 |
| headkase314 | Kriss3d, do you mean preserving the data on both partitions? I don't know about that! | 21:11 |
| cjae | http://terminatorx.org/ | 21:11 |
| Kriss3d | headkase314, i have unallocated space and a partition with linux that i would very much like to keep | 21:11 |
| headkase314 | DarkSector, sorry then - I'm not an expert, I found that link with a google search. | 21:12 |
| Kriss3d | I know that Partition magic can.. so its posible.. only that PQ magic is for windows | 21:12 |
| duffydack | cjae, well if its not in the menu, run from shell | 21:12 |
| DarkSector | headkase314, oh thank you for your time in that case | 21:12 |
| cjae | duffydack: did | 21:12 |
| headkase314 | DarkSector, you're welcome. Keep going - you'll get it. | 21:12 |
| DarkSector | headkase314, hope so | 21:12 |
| glebihan | Kriss3d, do both partitions containt data ? | 21:12 |
| Kriss3d | just one of them | 21:12 |
| AegNuddel | got it | 21:13 |
| Kriss3d | none of them are mounted right now.. running on a persistent USB linux right now | 21:13 |
| DarkSector | headkase314, sorry to bother you again, it just hit me, is it possible to use the commands bound to hotkeys directly ? | 21:13 |
| * itsux2bu won't be buying any Mac products after the treatment itsux2bu just got in ##mac.. | 21:13 | |
| headkase314 | Kriss3d, if the partition you want to merge is empty I think you can extend the existing Linux partition into the free space. Like I said, go to it's web site and check the manual, it's probably what you need. | 21:13 |
| duffydack | cjae, i`ll install and see | 21:13 |
| cjae | duffydack: it just thinks im trying to run the shell thing too, also checked with aptitude search terminatorx and says its installed | 21:13 |
| glebihan | Kriss3d, in that case, just delete the unused one, and resize the used one to fill the empty space | 21:13 |
| DarkSector | headkase314, like, the one you can see in the keyboard shortcuts menu ? | 21:13 |
| Kriss3d | headkase314, well it just doesnt seem like i can extend it as it wont let me resize into empty space for some reason. ill try manual ty | 21:14 |
| headkase314 | DarkSector, if you have Compiz enabled I know there are shortcuts available there. | 21:14 |
| DarkSector | headkase314, yeah I have compiz, ok, lemme check this | 21:14 |
| duffydack | cjae, yeah, its in the sound and video menu | 21:14 |

| duffydack | cjae, its run with terminatorx | 21:16 |
| erUSUL | !version | gtk | 21:17 |
| ubottu | gtk: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 21:17 |
| duffydack | cjae, guess you need the gtk libs if its got gnome gui. | 21:18 |
| Kriss3d | headkase314, uhmm aparently i cant MOVE a partition.. it seems like in order to extend my partition into empty space they need to be next to eachother in the graphical view.. but how to actually move a partition (or empty space).. do you know how ? | 21:18 |
| headkase314 | Kriss3d, sorry I'm not familiar enough with gparted to give good advice but now you know exactly what to be asking for from other people, ok? | 21:19 |
| tetsuo55 | hey, how do i use apt-get to install an older version of a packadge | 21:19 |
| erUSUL | !pinning | tetsuo55 | 21:19 |
| ubottu | tetsuo55: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 21:19 |
| Kriss3d | ok | 21:19 |
| glebihan | Kriss3d, if they're not next to each other graphically, they're not next to each other physically, so you won't be able to merge them | 21:19 |
| cjae | duffydack: wouldnt it install those dependencies? | 21:19 |
| glebihan | Kriss3d, to move a partition, right-click and "Resize/Move" | 21:19 |
| Kriss3d | glebihan, so basicly it wont be happening ? | 21:19 |
| duffydack | cjae, only if it 'depends' I guess, so I guess its packaged badly. | 21:19 |
| cjae | mixx also causes a **** storm | 21:20 |
| tetsuo55 | ok thanks | 21:20 |
| Kriss3d | glebihan, i did that.. i can.. welll shrink a partitino.. thats all i can do.. | 21:20 |

| gtk | IdleOne: yupe i got it | 21:20 |
| duffydack | cjae, says part of requirements for it is The Gimp Toolkit - gtk+ Version 2.0 or above | 21:20 |
| DarkSector | headkase314, I think, that's not a valid option, anyway let me ask in the channel | 21:21 |
| headkase314 | DarkSector, ok | 21:21 |
| Kriss3d | glebihan, there is a NTFS in there.. i cant.. i suppose ill just end up reformating the entire HDD.. ty anyway though | 21:21 |
| gtk | IdleOne:ok I got current version .. it says its 2.18.3 ... now how can i downgrade it to 2.16.1 | 21:21 |
| DarkSector | How do I know, what commands are being executed by my hotkeys on my keyboard ? and how can I use them in the terminal ? | 21:21 |

| Kriss3d | glebihan, hmm ty ill have a look at it when i got more time | 21:22 |
| cjae | duffydack: djplay looks like qt ill try that thanks | 21:22 |

| tetsuo55 | bodwick how does that work? | 21:23 |
| estragib | DarkSector, you know about gnome-keybinding-properties? you can define own shortcuts there. | 21:23 |
| duffydack | cjae, install the gtk libs? | 21:23 |

| cjae | duffydack: how to check if installed? | 21:24 |
| duffydack | tetsuo55, there is an archive on the winehq.org site with debs for older versions | 21:24 |
| DarkSector | estragib, say I have Volume up bound to this XF86AudioRaiseVolume in my keyboard shortcuts list, I'd like to know what command is being executed when I press the volume up key on my keyboard, I'd like to know the command so that I can run it directly within the terminal | 21:24 |
| duffydack | cjae, its obviously not. | 21:24 |
| estragib | DarkSector: oh yeah. been there. i didn't find out how to do it. what are you trying to do? i set up kb shortcuts to adjust my shellfm volume via pulseaudio recently and may be able to help. | 21:25 |
| bodwick | tetsuo55 find the package of your interest in synaptic, then right click, properties and chceck the versions tab .. if more versions are available usa Package -> Force version .. and if there are no other versions of that package just search for deb file, remove currently installed never version and install (force install) older deb | 21:25 |
| DarkSector | estragib, I am trying to build an IR remote volume control, tried amixer but its not effective, now I was wondering if I could somehow get to know the commands being executed by my volume up key on my keyboard, I could use that command to be triggered via pyserial by my arduino | 21:26 |
| duffydack | cjae, I`m not sure installing libgtk2.0-0 is enough.. someone else will know. | 21:26 |
| tetsuo55 | bodwick i dont have any other options, and i cannot find the archive duffydack mentioned | 21:26 |
| bodwick | tetsuo55 you want wine? | 21:27 |
| tetsuo55 | yes | 21:27 |
| bodwick | tetsuo55 http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html | 21:27 |
| Karen_m | i somehow lost my mouse, it won't move the cursor, and nothing is frozen | 21:29 |
| headkase314 | tetsuo55, here is where you get older wine versions -> http://sourceforge.net/projects/wine/files/Source/ <- However! Binaries are not available for older packages you must compile each one you want to test from the source given at that link. | 21:29 |
| xcyclist | Anybody know a working Open CAD program they have successfully used themselves recently? | 21:30 |
| aeon-ltd | Karen_m: sorry to state the obvious, but is it plugged in? | 21:31 |
| Karen_m | of course | 21:31 |
| aeon-ltd | Karen_m: wireless? | 21:32 |
| Karen_m | it was working, i just unplugged it, tested it in the computer beside, it's still working.. it's something with ubuntu | 21:32 |
| Karen_m | wired | 21:32 |
| Karen_m | i plugged it back into the usb on this ubuntu computer, and it won't even light up | 21:32 |
| bodwick | tetsuo55 you found the version you're looking for on that page? | 21:32 |
| aeon-ltd | Karen_m: oh, you might just need to reboot, or kill X and restart X | 21:32 |
| aeon-ltd | Karen_m: ubuntu plug and play usually has some problems like that | 21:33 |
| Karen_m | in xchat, how do you cycle to the next channel? I never had this problem on lucid, obviously they should postpone the maverick release if these things are happening ;) | 21:33 |
| Karen_m | i just cannot get into that channel without a mouse | 21:33 |
| tetsuo55 | bodwick yes, but i need to uninstall current version first | 21:33 |
| bodwick | tetsuo55 yes | 21:33 |
| delac | is there any Kubuntu user around here (#kubuntu is pretty dead). Can anyone using Kubuntu to confirm if it is possible to install updates WITHOUT administrative privileges? | 21:34 |
| aeon-ltd | Karen_m: try ctrl+page up/down | 21:35 |
| dk12548 | hi | 21:36 |
| dk12548 | is anyone kere | 21:36 |
| glebihan | !ask | dk12548 | 21:36 |

| Rockj | Anyone else having issues with corrupt image download from download? | 21:37 |
| romulobr | hi, should I install 10.10 beta or 10.4 ? | 21:38 |
| aeon-ltd | Rockj: you mean download.com? | 21:38 |
| glebihan | romulobr, 10.04 for now | 21:38 |
| dk12548 | actually i have downloaded gyachi source code but i dont know how to install it | 21:38 |
| glebihan | romulobr, 10.10 beta is still unstable | 21:38 |
| dk12548 | its in the form of a directory | 21:38 |
| Rockj | aeon-ltd: only one of the file's images got corrupted, so might be something local. But I still get the same annoying error when trying to boot up the usb on the computer | 21:38 |
| dk12548 | with lots of file in there | 21:39 |
| romulobr | glebihan, should I wait for 10.10 final, or should I just install 10.4 now? | 21:39 |
| glebihan | dk12548, does it contain a "configure" file ? | 21:39 |
| cjae | duffydack: thanks | 21:39 |
| dk12548 | wait a min lemme see | 21:39 |
| glebihan | romulobr, if you want to install it now, go on | 21:39 |
| dk12548 | yeah | 21:39 |
| Rockj | aeon-ltd: Unknown keyword in the configuration file, happens both with 10.04 and 10.10 beta :O | 21:39 |
| glebihan | romulobr, you'll be able to upgrade anyway | 21:39 |
| duffydack | cjae: so it works? | 21:39 |
| Rockj | aeon-ltd: in syslinux boot. | 21:39 |
| cjae | duffydack: no | 21:40 |
| aeon-ltd | Rockj: just get the iso from ubuntu's official site | 21:40 |
| glebihan | dk12548, so open a terminal and cd to the folder | 21:40 |
| qjcg | anyone know how I can copy my gnome-panel configuration to another machine? | 21:40 |
| dk12548 | k | 21:40 |
| Rockj | aeon-ltd: I'am. | 21:40 |
| dk12548 | wait | 21:40 |
| romulobr | gebihan, The only issue i had with 10.4 is with my ATI video card, do you know if there is any workaround for the Ati video tearing problem? | 21:40 |
| Rockj | tried different mirrors too. | 21:40 |
| dk12548 | k i am in gyachi folder now glebihan | 21:41 |
| glebihan | run "./configure" | 21:41 |
| dk12548 | k | 21:41 |
| dk12548 | its saying please read install.txt | 21:41 |
| dk12548 | :( | 21:41 |
| almoxarife | dk12548: pidgin is also a yahoo client and does it rather simply, and easy to install with synaptic | 21:41 |
| glebihan | romulobr, sorry I wouldn't know, somebody else might be able to help you | 21:41 |
| glebihan | dk12548, please wait, I'll have a look | 21:42 |
| dk12548 | what is sysnaptic? it it like apt-getr | 21:42 |
| dk12548 | apt-get | 21:42 |
| almoxarife | dk12548: yes | 21:42 |
| aeon-ltd | qjcg: the config is most likely a dot folder (as in .foldername) just find the hiddem folder and copy it over | 21:42 |
| dk12548 | are they the same? | 21:42 |
| aeon-ltd | Rockj: how many have you tried and this has happened? | 21:42 |
| romulobr | ok, downloading 10.4 now. | 21:42 |
| almoxarife | dk12548: that would be then apt-get install pidgin | 21:42 |
| dk12548 | i already installed pidgin | 21:42 |
| Rockj | aeon-ltd: 7 times now, 3 different usb sticks. | 21:43 |
| dk12548 | by the very same command | 21:43 |
| almoxarife | dk12548: too easy to use? | 21:43 |
| qjcg | aeon-ltd: I'm looking, but I still haven't found the hidden folder with those settings in particular | 21:43 |
| dk12548 | but i want to know how to compile that stuff so that in the near future i dont get stuck | 21:43 |
| glebihan | dk12548, ok so start by running "./autogen.sh" | 21:43 |
| romulobr | glebihan one more thing: Should i install 32 or 64 bit? i have 4gb of ram, and plans of upgrading to 8. | 21:43 |
| dk12548 | kkk | 21:43 |
| Rockj | aeon-ltd: an older image that we had on one of the sticks before we wiped it (9.04) was working just fine.. | 21:43 |
| chris_osx | romulobr: wow what do you need so much ram for? | 21:44 |
| Rockj | aeon-ltd: also tried to make the usb boot from 2 different pc's. | 21:44 |
| glebihan | romulobr, you may try 64 bit | 21:44 |
| headkase314 | romulobr, to use more than 3.2GB of RAM you need 64-bit | 21:44 |
| ChesterX | Hi, I am trying to play a .mp4-file but neither vlc nor movie player (with the right plugins) manage to play it fluetly. Any suggestions? | 21:44 |
| dk12548 | its saying | 21:44 |
| dk12548 | utomake missing or too old. This requires at least automake 1.5 | 21:44 |
| almoxarife | dk12548: google checkinstall ............... that is ubuntu's version of creating debs from source, it made me the source geek | 21:44 |
| glebihan | dk12548, "sudo apt-get install automake" | 21:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | headkase314, with PAE that isn't quite true | 21:44 |
| dk12548 | lol | 21:44 |
| dk12548 | k | 21:44 |
| headkase314 | ZykoticK9, I know but PAE is slower | 21:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | dk12548, you probably should install "sudo apt-get install build-essential" | 21:45 |
| aeon-ltd | Rockj: ok, if you have the time, use a torrent instead of html downloads and check md5sums, if you have a virtual machine, test it there first, if not continue with your usb method | 21:45 |
| almoxarife | dk12548: or you could apt-get install checkinstall and have it load all those little progs you are trying to use | 21:46 |
| dk12548 | i done sudo apt-get automake | 21:46 |
| dk12548 | it has installed | 21:46 |
| glebihan | dk12548, ok so now "./autogen.sh" | 21:47 |
| dk12548 | should i do these also sudo apt-get install build-essential | 21:47 |
| dk12548 | ok | 21:47 |
| glebihan | dk12548, won't hurt to do so | 21:47 |
| dk12548 | ERROR: Cannot find gettext/intl directory. | 21:47 |

| glebihan | dk12548, "sudo apt-get install gettext" | 21:49 |
| n0a1ias | can someone help me with installing a new theam? | 21:49 |

| n0a1ias | theme* | 21:49 |
| dk12548 | ya its on progress | 21:49 |

| chrowe | what desktop GUI has the smallest footprint on disk? | 21:52 |
| dk12548 | i am new here | 21:52 |
| dk12548 | libtoolize failed, stopping. | 21:52 |
| jrib | chrowe: try one of the *boxes | 21:52 |
| n0a1ias | almoxarife, i did that, and i clicked install theme, but from there, when i click the folder with the theme it just brings up more folders | 21:53 |
| glebihan | dk12548, "sudo apt-get install libtool" | 21:53 |
| n0a1ias | its a .tar if that helps | 21:53 |
| Nijverheid | if I install Ubuntu 10.04 within windows, how do I access/mount my cd drive? | 21:53 |
| foxbunny | I want a localhost subdomain that points to an external site. how do I do that? | 21:53 |
| dk12548 | ok glebihan i am now updating my whole system | 21:54 |
| aeon-ltd | chrowe: the smallest would probably be a tiling wm, but wether you'd like it or not is up to taste, but i would definately reccommend one of the *boxes like jrib said | 21:54 |
| glebihan | dk12548, pretty much :) | 21:54 |
| dk12548 | lol | 21:54 |
| almoxarife | n0a1ias: you went into folders for a reason? 'install' option is for a theme you have somewhere on the drive | 21:55 |
| dk12548 | by the way what is the main repostory ? is this where apt get gets its software? | 21:55 |
| Nijverheid | yeah | 21:55 |
| dk12548 | oh | 21:55 |
| glebihan | dk12548, yes | 21:55 |
| n0a1ias | oh, i want this http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Overglossed?content=74813 so i download it, then what? | 21:55 |
| xcyclist | How come xpi files like chromebug don't install smoothly on Ubuntu? | 21:56 |
| chrowe | jrib aeon-ltd: not sure where to look for *boxes | 21:56 |
| dk12548 | so how can i see which more softwares are there in main | 21:56 |
| headkase314 | n0a1ias, have you tried going to System > Preferences > Appearance and dragging the archive into that window? That usually works. | 21:56 |
| dk12548 | i mean i want to see main repository | 21:56 |
| almoxarife | n0a1ias: so you have to get it from your d/l folder | 21:56 |
| n0a1ias | where is the archive? | 21:56 |
| headkase314 | n0a1ias, what you downloaded, where you put it. | 21:57 |
| n0a1ias | ok | 21:57 |
| dk12548 | i think i should google it | 21:57 |
| dk12548 | lol | 21:57 |
| foxbunny | anyone? how do I point subdomain.localhost -> www.someothersite.com ? | 21:57 |
| guntbert | dk12548: your favourite package manager will show them - synaptic is the easiest | 21:57 |
| glebihan | n0a1ias, put the download folder in /usr/share/themes | 21:57 |
| mneptok | dk12548: please avoid inpulines with nothing more than "lol" | 21:58 |
| dk12548 | yeah i have heard that sysnaptic will download the files if it doesnt have one | 21:58 |
| estragib | foxbunny, we need details. what http server are you using? | 21:58 |
| foxbunny | estragib: apache | 21:58 |
| n0a1ias | glebihan, how? I just got ubuntu so im still new to it | 21:58 |
| dk12548 | sorry mneptok, actually i am a yahoo chatter. its first time here | 21:58 |
| estragib | foxbunny: ok, i'm out. using lighty myself. sorry. | 21:58 |
| mneptok | dk12548: that's why i asked, instead of just banning you outright. ;) | 21:59 |
| almoxarife | chatter? no?! | 21:59 |
| foxbunny | estragib: I can switch to lighty... if it can do it :) | 21:59 |
| glebihan | n0a1ias, where did you put the downloaded file ? | 21:59 |
| n0a1ias | oh i got it | 21:59 |
| dk12548 | ok mneptok i will try to stick to it | 21:59 |
| n0a1ias | thanks everone | 21:59 |
| estragib | foxbunny: ok, wait a sec. | 21:59 |
| mneptok | foxbunny: you want an immediate redirect. create an index.html on the sub with that. | 21:59 |
| glebihan | n0a1ias, you're welcome | 21:59 |
| foxbunny | mneptok: I need a transparent proxy-type thing, no redirect | 22:00 |
| glebihan | dk12548, so did you install "libtool" ? | 22:00 |
| foxbunny | mneptok: doing some javascript thing, and same-origin crap is giving me headache | 22:00 |
| mneptok | foxbunny: so set up DNS to have that domain point at the IP of the other. | 22:00 |
| dk12548 | yeah | 22:00 |
| glebihan | dk12548, then try "./autogen.sh" again | 22:01 |
| dk12548 | yeah i done | 22:01 |
| foxbunny | mneptok: how do I do that? | 22:01 |
| dk12548 | configure.ac:46: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0 | 22:01 |

| mneptok | dk12548: what are you compiling? | 22:01 |

| flupke | etherealite, config files are in lua, you don't use python to configure it | 22:15 |
| davsank | I'll ask it again. | 22:15 |
| etherealite | I've seen the lua config files for awesome and they are a joke | 22:15 |
| dk12548 | oh i forgot where was the software tool | 22:16 |

| zfe | i mean, i want trashbin and mounted disks there | 22:16 |
| dk12548 | ok i am in | 22:16 |
| glebihan | xangua, yes I saw that, only the amd64 architecture was successful | 22:17 |
| n0a1ias | xangua, i extracted it but when i drag it over the themes window it ways its not a valid theam, and i cant drag it over to the icon window | 22:17 |
| davsank | In Ubuntu Ultimate Edition, there is a cool feature when clicking on the middle mouse button, and moving it around, it would make a rotating image of all my desktops and the windows opened on them. is there a package on Ubuntu that'll allow me to get the same effect? | 22:17 |
| duffydack | !ccsm | davsank | 22:17 |
| ubottu | davsank: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz | 22:17 |
| glebihan | dk12548, in the "Other Software" tab, select the line containing "loell" and click "Edit" | 22:17 |
| dreamtraveler | .hop | 22:18 |
| flupke | etherealite, it's still the best tiling wm, and works very well on multiple screens | 22:18 |
| davsank | duffyduck, i use the apt-get and the command the bot gave me? | 22:18 |
| navjot | Can someone help me with ubuntu10.10 :) | 22:18 |
| aeon-ltd | davsank: yeah | 22:18 |
| dk12548 | ok i have clicked edit | 22:18 |
| etherealite | flupke yeah its a sweet wm but it doesn't with my rotated displays | 22:18 |
| aeon-ltd | !ask | navjot | 22:18 |
| ubottu | navjot: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 22:18 |
| glebihan | dk12548, in the "Distribution" field, replace "lucid" by "karmic" | 22:19 |
| duffydack | davsank, install the compizconfig-settings-manager yes | 22:19 |
| AndrewMC | navjot: if you are using ubuntu 10.10 please go to #ubuntu+1 | 22:19 |
| navjot | ok | 22:19 |
| n0a1ias | is there a certain way to install icons? | 22:19 |
| dk12548 | ok i have done ot | 22:19 |
| duffydack | davsank, and optionally the compiz-fusion-plugins-extra package | 22:19 |
| glebihan | dk12548, ok close both dialogs | 22:19 |
| dk12548 | should i reload?? | 22:20 |
| glebihan | dk12548, yes | 22:20 |
| davsank | duffydack, can you please PM me the correct form of the commands? | 22:20 |
| bodwick | n0a1ias put them in ~/.icons | 22:20 |
| dk12548 | ok its done glebihan. | 22:20 |
| spunk | Hello! What is the state of ext4? is it safe to use nowadays? I'm considering using it for data storage under 10.04... | 22:20 |
| duffydack | davsank, sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-fusion-plugins-extra | 22:21 |
| glebihan | dk12548, ok now "sudo apt-get install gyachi" should work | 22:21 |
| dk12548 | what next glebihan | 22:21 |
| flupke | etherealite, they have a page about multiple screens and xrandr on the wiki, have you tried it ? (I believe rotation is handled at the X level rather than WM) | 22:21 |
| mickster04 | spunk: ext4 has been in use for ages now and is the default for 10.04 | 22:21 |
| n0a1ias | bodwick, their are in icons, but i can see them in the icons window of themes | 22:21 |
| dk12548 | hey ya its working | 22:21 |
| spunk | mickster04, Ok, so I assume it is safe in some sense then. Thanks! | 22:22 |
| n0a1ias | bodwick, http://imgur.com/1RhIP | 22:22 |
| dk12548 | hey its installed wow!!!!! thanks bro you are genious glebihan | 22:22 |
| dk12548 | hats off for u | 22:22 |
| glebihan | dk12548, you're welcome | 22:22 |
| bodwick | n0a1ias you've put a icon theme (folder) in icons and what's the problem? | 22:22 |
| gsnedders | Um, I accidentally removed the item rom the notification panel including the shutdown menu. How do I get it back? | 22:22 |
| bodwick | n0a1ias ehm .. the folder is .icons | 22:23 |
| AutopsyCircus | Hi, I was wondering if there are any programs that can work as "compiz" or something like that to music, kind of like audio visualization but it affects my windows instead or alike? | 22:23 |
| bodwick | n0a1ias not icons | 22:23 |
| dk12548 | ok but glebihan can tell what is this karmic,lucid etc.... | 22:23 |
| IdleOne | gsnedders: right click > add to panel > indicator applet session | 22:23 |
| etherealite | flupke I've read it and tested it, confirmed that it doesn't take screen rotation into account and therefore messes up pretty bad with a rotated screen | 22:23 |
| dk12548 | or maybe give me the link so that i can read | 22:23 |
| bodwick | n0a1ias it's a hidden folder .. if doesn't exist it just create it | 22:23 |
| glebihan | dk12548, those are the different release of Ubuntu | 22:23 |
| n0a1ias | oh ok | 22:23 |
| dk12548 | ohhhhh , and how i know which one is mine? | 22:24 |
| gsnedders | IdleOne: Oh, duh, I was just trying to click on the existing notification area, expecting the area to end where the icons did. :) | 22:24 |
| glebihan | dk12548, you should usually not do what we've just done actually, but as the package didn't exist for lucid, we used the one for the previous release | 22:24 |
| dk12548 | i think there are 5 releases of ubuntu isnt it | 22:24 |
| aeon-ltd | dk12548: lsb_release -a | 22:24 |
| duffydack | gsnedders, when you remove that applet, shutdown etc appears in the System menu | 22:24 |
| n0a1ias | so the code is $cp /icons/black-white 2 Style ~/.icons | 22:25 |
| duffydack | gsnedders, just a fyi | 22:25 |
| dk12548 | hey my version is lucid but why should we have to do it karmic just a while ago ? | 22:25 |
| flupke | etherealite, just tried "xrandr -o left" on my laptop, works perfectly on stock awesome from the repos | 22:25 |
| glebihan | dk12548, because there was no package available for lucid | 22:25 |
| froggyman | how do I set ubuntu to let me choose which desktop I would like to log in to? | 22:25 |
| yorkie_ian | prefernces | 22:26 |
| glebihan | dk12548, but as I said, one usually doesn't do that, but hey it works :) | 22:26 |
| dk12548 | it means that we can install the softwares from different species? | 22:26 |
| IdleOne | froggyman: at the login screen click on Session and it will give you the choice | 22:26 |
| glebihan | dk12548, installing software from previous releases works fine, don't try to install from later releases | 22:27 |
| xangua | froggyman: you can select with what desktop enviroment you want to start gtom the login windoe | 22:27 |
| dk12548 | previos release?? u mean karmic? | 22:27 |
| davsank | duffydack you still here? | 22:28 |
| duffydack | davsank, seems like it | 22:28 |
| Kryspy | afternoon | 22:28 |
| froggyman | okay, thanks | 22:28 |
| glebihan | dk12548, yes | 22:28 |
| davsank | well, i installed the package.. it can see the new option. but the single thing i want to activate, i cant. | 22:29 |
| dk12548 | one more thing. i want to know that i once watched a video in which the person draged the window from the active desktop to other desktop | 22:29 |
| duffydack | davsank, why | 22:29 |
| IdleOne | dk12548: to answer your question earlier, lucid is the 12th release and you can install apps from previous releases but it is not recommended (usually) | 22:29 |
| n0a1ias | bodwick, http://imgur.com/7Mh7x | 22:29 |
| davsank | duffydack, i don't know | 22:29 |
| dk12548 | oh, ok idle one | 22:29 |

| duffydack | davsank, ok well... you need to enable Desktop Cube and Rotate Cube. It will ask to disable desktop wall, agree | 22:30 |
| IdleOne | sandi: is this Ubuntu related? | 22:30 |
| sandi | what | 22:31 |
| davsank | k sec | 22:31 |
| duffydack | davsank, once you got tired of Cube, you can try Scale and Expo. Much more useful, imho. | 22:31 |
| IdleOne | sandi: your question, is it Ubuntu related? | 22:31 |
| sandi | what is ubuntu | 22:31 |

| Kryspy | Question: setting up a server with Ubuntu 10.04. 250 GB for OS and 1TB for storage. I have 2 X 1TB drives. Is a RAID 1 setup a good idea for my storage drive to provide reduncy? | 22:32 |
| etherealite | flupke if you try retiling your windows its should be splitting windows in a strange manner. | 22:32 |
| dk12548 | anyways thanks bro for every piece of help. | 22:32 |
| ubottu | pong | 22:32 |
| ubottu | pong | 22:32 |

| xiamx | hi, i just want a quick tip how do I export my current ssh public key? | 22:33 |
| aeon-ltd | Kryspy: not really a expert on RAID setups but wheres this 250GB coming from> | 22:34 |
| aeon-ltd | ? | 22:34 |
| === zfe is now known as woodcock | ||
| davsank | duffydack | 22:34 |
| dk12548 | ok how to install compiz??? shoudl i use synaptic | 22:34 |
| davsank | i can't find the rotate thing | 22:34 |
| aeon-ltd | dk12548: yes | 22:34 |
| flupke | etherealite, from what I see it works normally, (and I still believe the WM doesn't know anything about orientation, what use could it do from it anyway ?) | 22:34 |
| DrPoO | i have been having difficulties syncing a 1G jailbroken ipod to rhythmbox. I do not seem to have write privileges on the device... any suggestions? | 22:34 |
| aeon-ltd | davsank: its in compiz settings | 22:34 |
| Kryspy | <aeon-ltd> I have a 250 GB drive available to use to install Ubuntu on and utilize 2X 1 TB drives in RAAID 1 for storage | 22:34 |
| Kryspy | Guess my question is for a media server what does everyone else do :) | 22:35 |
| dk12548 | its saying compiz is already the newest version | 22:35 |
| duffydack | davsank, in compizconfig-settings-manager? | 22:35 |
| aeon-ltd | Kryspy: oh ok, so the /home will be on one of the 1TB HDDs and the other will mirror it, yeah sounds good to me - but like i said i don't really have much experience with RAID | 22:35 |
| dk12548 | how should i drag my windows to other desktop by forming a cube? | 22:35 |
| glebihan | !who | dk12548 | 22:35 |
| ubottu | dk12548: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 22:35 |
| davsank | yeah duffydack, it's not there | 22:36 |
| DrPoO | how do i check what usb devices are plugged in (command line)? | 22:36 |
| Kryspy | <aeon-ltd> k... what do you use for reduncy or backup. | 22:36 |
| shuttlecock | hello | 22:36 |
| aeon-ltd | Kryspy: nothing, well backups sorta | 22:36 |
| glebihan | dk12548, then compiz is already installed, to enable it, go to System->Preferences->Appearance | 22:36 |
| glebihan | dk12548, "Effects" tab | 22:37 |
| shuttlecock | woodcock, your nick proper offends me | 22:37 |
| etherealite | flupke it needs to know where on the virtual screen to seperate windows into two different work spaces. supposedly they are working on the problem and the next release is going to fix the issue. | 22:37 |
| shuttlecock | change it please | 22:37 |
| Kryspy | <aeon-ltd> My other thought was to not use RAID and just rsync the 2X 1TB drives | 22:37 |
| duffydack | davsank, odd. What version of ubuntu | 22:37 |
| davsank | duffydack 10.04 | 22:37 |
| woodcock | shuttlecock, it's my surname | 22:37 |
| woodcock | :( | 22:37 |
| estragib | DrPoO: try lsusb | 22:37 |
| yorkie_ian | if you press Ctrl+Alt then the right arrow on the number pad, it should work if you have Compiz | 22:37 |
| duffydack | davsank, look in your Appearance preferences.. make sure you select Extra from the effects | 22:37 |
| dk12548 | yeah its "extra" glebian | 22:37 |
| shuttlecock | IdleOne, | 22:37 |
| shuttlecock | shuttlecock is a perfectly fine english word | 22:37 |
| woodcock | can't i have my surname as nick? | 22:37 |
| woodcock | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_A._Woodcock_Jr. | 22:38 |
| woodcock | my grandpa | 22:38 |
| glebihan | dk12548, then you're good | 22:38 |
| woodcock | :\ | 22:38 |
| DrPoO | estragib, where are usb devices mounted by default? | 22:38 |
| IdleOne | woodcock and shuttlecock fine keep your nicks. | 22:38 |
| glebihan | dk12548, you can use "ccsm" to customize the effects | 22:38 |
| duffydack | davsank, then go back to the compiz settings.. cube stuff is there already as fat as plugins go.. odd. | 22:38 |
| DrPoO | estragib, im in 10.04 and i do not see them in /media | 22:38 |
| davsank | duffydack, i have custom selected, isn't it there? | 22:38 |
| shuttlecock | thanks IdleOne | 22:38 |
| shuttlecock | isn't that swell woodcock | 22:38 |
| flupke | etherealite, ah I see what you mean, I'm trying on a single display though | 22:38 |
| duffydack | davsank, you have simple ccsm then | 22:38 |
| dk12548 | oh well glebian first of all tell me how to adress someone in particular | 22:39 |
| Kryspy | Anyone else have thoughts on storage for a media server? RAID 1 or just rsync the drives on a daily basis ? | 22:39 |
| davsank | duffydack, what's the other package then? and how to remove this one? | 22:39 |
| glebihan | dk12548, you just have to put his nick in your message | 22:39 |
| duffydack | davsank, I prefer the full settings manager personally. I cant really help you with that simple-ccsm thing | 22:39 |
| duffydack | davsank, sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 22:39 |
| dk12548 | you mean the full nick glebihan? | 22:39 |
| glebihan | dk12548, yes just like that :) | 22:40 |
| dk12548 | isnt there some thing like tab or something | 22:40 |
| dk12548 | ohhhhh | 22:40 |
| glebihan | dk12548, yes you can use tab to auto-complete nicks | 22:40 |
| dk12548 | thanks for that glebihan . gr8 it worked | 22:40 |
| estragib | DrPoO: i don't know that myself. checking. | 22:40 |
| glebihan | dk12548, you're quite welcome :) | 22:41 |
| dk12548 | so can i use synaptic for ccsm? | 22:41 |
| Scunizi | When using any specific font, if I want to put the copyright symbol in a line of text how would I do that? The character is available in the font and has 2 numbers associated with it. U+00aa and 169 .. ??? | 22:41 |
| glebihan | dk12548, it should already be installed (I think), try Alt+F2 -> ccsm | 22:41 |
| duffydack | dk12548, yes, just look for compizconfig-settings-manager | 22:42 |
| dk12548 | its saying Could not open location 'file:///home/deepak/ccsm' | 22:42 |

| latagore | Vladio: did you install Windows recently | 22:48 |

| Rosbuntu | Vladio i see | 22:48 |
| Vladio | latagore, no, ubuntu over vista | 22:48 |
| Vladio | i want them both though | 22:48 |
| Rosbuntu | this is strange | 22:48 |

| Rosbuntu | i see | 22:49 |

| dk12548 | bastidrazor: should i apt get it>? | 23:00 |
| bastidrazor | dk12548: yes. | 23:00 |
| aeon-ltd | bastidrazor: ok misunderstanding, dk12548 asked for kde, i assumed dk12548 meant just kde, not the whole kubuntu environment inc kde apps | 23:01 |
| fred2040 | @Seppoz: yes, you can install screenlets from ubuntu software center | 23:01 |

| OptiplexGX620 | IS THIS NOT GETTING THROUGH??? | 23:37 |
| TELL0 | OptiplexGX620: no escribas todo en mayusculas, va contra las normas. La proxima vez seras expulsado. | 23:37 |
| OptiplexGX620 | No se | 23:37 |
| maco | !caps | OptiplexGX620 | 23:37 |
| ubottu | OptiplexGX620: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 23:37 |
| bodwick | n0alias like you chroot and install packages using apt-get on chroot | 23:37 |
| maco | TELL0: english here, you know that | 23:37 |
| OptiplexGX620 | Yes I know | 23:37 |
| lduros | I have raw DV files -- what program would you recommend for me to create a DVD out of it? :-) | 23:37 |
| n0a1ias | bodwick, i get an error saying couldnt find package dchroot on the first step | 23:37 |
| OptiplexGX620 | I want help, preferably now | 23:37 |
| TELL0 | ??? I didn't type that. dunno how that happened | 23:38 |
| h00k | !patience | OptiplexGX620 | 23:38 |
| ubottu | OptiplexGX620: 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 | 23:38 |
| OptiplexGX620 | hm | 23:38 |
| OptiplexGX620 | not impressed | 23:38 |
| maco | OptiplexGX620: is "because that's just the way gnome does things" a good enough answer? | 23:39 |
| xcyclist | Does anyone know, can I have both Chrome and Chromium installed at the same time? I just installed Chomium, and it appears I have lost my Chrome isntall. | 23:39 |
| thune3 | nnn: you you have update manager or synaptic open at the same time? | 23:39 |
| nnn | thune3: none are open but that | 23:39 |
| xorwhy | I installed audacity, it had several features (plugins). Then I restored an image of the drive, that didn't have audacity. Then I installed audacity. Now it has no plugins and there are no plugins that I can find in the repositories. | 23:39 |
| OptiplexGX620 | maybe, but ur losing an ubuntu guy to kubuntu | 23:39 |
| nnn | thune3: its a fresh install of ubuntu just installed it | 23:39 |
| prometeus | Wow guys i have a problem: i do not remember my "connection password". This does not seem to be my root password... I don t understand... Is there a way to refix it? | 23:39 |
| tensorpudding | OptiplexGX620: what do you mean by "display" | 23:40 |
| jsninja | xcyclist, it uses a different hidden directory. | 23:40 |
| xorwhy | My problem is that I want to have those plugins (they are effects), but also it is interesting that I seemingly followed te same procedure as last time, and did not get the same result. | 23:40 |
| prometeus | you nkow, the applet that holds passwords | 23:40 |
| maco | OptiplexGX620: fine with me, i'm a kubuntu woman :) | 23:40 |
| econdudeawesome | How do I connect to a VPN via Ubuntu? | 23:40 |
| almoxarife | prometeus: a wifi connection? | 23:40 |
| iceroot | econdudeawesome: depending on the vpn | 23:40 |
| maco | prometeus: connection password would mean its your router's encryption passphrase | 23:40 |
| maco | prometeus: i think | 23:40 |
| matrixblue | Does anyone know how to select text without a mouse in elinks? | 23:40 |
| xcyclist | jsninja: So, if I re-install Chrome, will I have both? | 23:40 |
| maco | econdudeawesome: depends... what kind? cisco vpn? openvpn? | 23:40 |
| OptiplexGX620 | display: Kubuntu says "test.DESKTOP" and Ubuntu "Test" | 23:40 |
| iceroot | maco: he means the the key-ring password for nm-applet | 23:40 |
| econdudeawesome | maco: iceroot cisco | 23:41 |
| tensorpudding | OptiplexGX620: what kind of file is it? | 23:41 |
| chalcedony | my husband tried to upgrade from 8.04 to 10.07 .. it's not liking it and stops with a - sign on a blank screen. What can i do? | 23:41 |
| maco | econdudeawesome: vpnc for cisco | 23:41 |
| econdudeawesome | maco: iceroot already imported the VPN settings | 23:41 |
| OptiplexGX620 | desktop configuration file | 23:41 |
| jsninja | OptiplexGX620, http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html | 23:41 |
| OptiplexGX620 | launcher | 23:41 |
| econdudeawesome | maco: iceroot I'm not sure how to connect to the actual VPN--everything should be ready to go | 23:41 |
| maco | jsninja: ugh that doc is full of rudeness | 23:41 |
| iceroot | econdudeawesome: if i am correct, the client is called vpnc, dont use openvpn, its not working with cisco-vpn | 23:41 |
| hipstersandwich | chalcedony: Try a fresh install or doing an upgrade to 9.10 | 23:41 |
| jsninja | maco, ? | 23:42 |
| maco | econdudeawesome: your network manager should list it in the dropdown for you to click to connect if youve set it up in there | 23:42 |
| prometeus | maco, almoxarife: no it s the password manager of ubuntu,. i don t have the name (trousseau de connection in french) | 23:42 |
| maco | prometeus: did you change your own password recently? | 23:42 |
| iceroot | prometeus: keyring | 23:42 |
| tensorpudding | OptiplexGX620: try changing the name to test.desktop | 23:42 |

| maco | jsninja: read that recently? its not a very nice howto... | 23:42 |
| Seppoz | lol | 23:42 |
| maco | jsninja: anyway, OptiplexGX620's question makes perfect sense | 23:42 |
| prometeus | iceroot, YES that one! maco, no i did not. though i can t remember this one | 23:42 |
| bsod1 | dammit | 23:42 |
| econdudeawesome | maco: after I set it up in the network manager, what then? | 23:42 |
| hebz0rl | not this again... | 23:43 |
| prometeus | the keyring is not the right one | 23:43 |
| hipstersandwich | Gary: What? | 23:43 |
| maco | econdudeawesome: should be able to click on the network manager icon and select it from the dropdown | 23:43 |
| Seppoz | führer lorenz! | 23:43 |
| prometeus | how can I reset it? | 23:43 |
| Seppoz | :) | 23:43 |
| Hut | whats with the Mass Highlight, it woke me up :-( | 23:43 |
| Hut | :P | 23:43 |
| OptiplexGX620 | no, its just a hidden extension. doesnt change or make anything | 23:43 |
| maco | prometeus: is this a new install? did you not setup the keyring yet? | 23:43 |
| econdudeawesome | maco: hah.. well, I'm only using Docky... how to I bring up that--nmapplet? | 23:43 |
| maco | econdudeawesome: no panel at all? | 23:43 |
| Seppoz | its mass highlight from the führer | 23:43 |
| Seppoz | xD | 23:43 |
| prometeus | maco... i don t remember... many computers here for a while.. many tests.. | 23:43 |
| mr_mustard | Gary, who was you master? he must be crap... | 23:43 |
| maco | econdudeawesome: er...how did you get into nm-applet to set up the vpn to start with if you cant reach it? | 23:44 |
| TELL0 | my system is in english, how can I check spell in spanish? I installed spanish on language support, but how can I chose to check what I typing in spanish? | 23:44 |
| econdudeawesome | maco: well, yes, but absolutely nothing on it, and it's hiding about 900 pixels to the left of the viewable monitor | 23:44 |
| jsninja | maco, sure his question makes some sense. But complaining loudly that hes not getting instant free help and making statements such as "help me or else I'll move to some other variation of linux" is full of rudeness. And could certainly take something from that howto, despite its flaws. | 23:44 |
| h00k | Ignore the spammer, please move along. | 23:44 |
| econdudeawesome | maco: of course I can alt-f1 to bring up what I need | 23:44 |
| maco | jsninja: eh he said he'd go to a different version of ubuntu... the one i prefer ;-_ | 23:44 |
| maco | *;-) | 23:44 |
| thune3 | nnn: you could see of another app has the lock file open: sudo lsof /var/lib/apt/lists/lock | 23:44 |
| econdudeawesome | maco: I set it up in System > Preferences > Network Connections | 23:44 |
| prometeus | how can I reset the keyring password? | 23:45 |
| prometeus | (i dare say it was my root one... but nope) | 23:45 |
| tensorpudding | OptiplexGX620: try doing ls -l test.DESKTOP in the terminal in the folder that the file is in | 23:45 |
| maco | prometeus: applications -> accessories -> passwords & encryption keys | 23:45 |
| xcyclist | Okay, this is the Meerkat channel, right? | 23:45 |
| maco | prometeus: there is no root password in ubuntu | 23:45 |
| hipstersandwich | xcyclist: This is the main support channel. | 23:45 |
| OptiplexGX620 | wait a sec then | 23:45 |
| maco | prometeus: you can reset your keyring pw if you remember the old one that way. if not, you can delete your old keyring and create a new one and set its pw to match your login pw and itll automatically be unlocked on login | 23:45 |
| xcyclist | Okay. Sorry guys, I'm not used to this Konversation yet. | 23:46 |
| h00k | !meerkat | xcyclist | 23:46 |
| ubottu | xcyclist: 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 | 23:46 |
| nnn | thune3: I GOT IT WORKING, BUT ITS NOT WANTING TO INSTALL ON SOME STUFF | 23:46 |
| nnn | thune3: sorry caps | 23:46 |
| econdudeawesome | maco: any idea? (I disconnected for a moment there...) | 23:46 |
| maco | OptiplexGX620: its just a gnome thing. gnome tries to make things simple instead of useful. if you prefer kde's way, go with it. doesnt bother me if you go to the one i prefer (kubuntu) | 23:46 |
| OptiplexGX620 | No such file or directory | 23:46 |
| OptiplexGX620 | it says | 23:46 |
| prometeus | maco: in the apps section the password says: password:login | 23:46 |
| TELL0 | my system is in english, how can I check spell in spanish? I installed spanish on language support, but how can I chose to check what I typing in spanish? | 23:46 |
| maco | prometeus: yeah | 23:46 |
| tensorpudding | OptiplexGX620: are you in the right directory? | 23:46 |
| OptiplexGX620 | yes | 23:47 |
| econdudeawesome | maco: if I set it up to connect automatically, am i good to go? | 23:47 |
| maco | OptiplexGX620: caps matters... | 23:47 |
| tensorpudding | then try ls -l | 23:47 |
| maco | econdudeawesome: yes | 23:47 |
| tensorpudding | and see if it is listed there | 23:47 |
| yorkie_ian | TELLO just down load the language translater from Ubuntu Software Centre | 23:47 |
| OptiplexGX620 | .desktop in lowercase says: | 23:47 |
| OptiplexGX620 | a whole bunch of things | 23:48 |
| maco | tensorpudding: OptiplexGX620 said the file, the *same file* is listed with an extension in kde and not with one in gnome. thats not the file name changing. thats just the DEs displaying things differently | 23:48 |
| TELL0 | thanks yorkie_ian | 23:48 |
| econdudeawesome | maco: cool, worked then. How do I connect if I take off auto-connect? | 23:48 |
| OptiplexGX620 | too complicated | 23:48 |
| onyxgaze_ | hi im trying to dual boot but during the install process the screen goes blank, probably coz im using an hdmi cable, is there a way round this ? | 23:48 |
| maco | econdudeawesome: you would need to be able to click on the nm applet in the panel and select it from the list. i think there's also a command line way to use network manager though | 23:48 |
| tensorpudding | In Nautilus I can see the .desktop file extension, so I don't know what the issue is. | 23:48 |
| hipstersandwich | onyxgaze_: Needs moar details. Distro, one you are upgrading to, etc. | 23:48 |
| jag0 | yorkie_ian, can't see that language package? | 23:49 |
| OptiplexGX620 | fine. gnome sux. i accept that | 23:49 |
| onyxgaze_ | hipstersandwich 10.04 is the one im installing with win7 as the other os | 23:49 |
| OptiplexGX620 | by | 23:49 |
| tensorpudding | Nautilus should show file extensions always, should it not? | 23:49 |
| maco | tensorpudding: inside the file browser, i think then it shows it, but not on the desktop | 23:49 |
| hipstersandwich | onyxgaze_: Where in the process did it do that? What steps were taken? Lead me through it. | 23:49 |
| prometeus | maco, it asks me the name for the new keyring...!!! what name= | 23:50 |
| prometeus | ? | 23:50 |
| tensorpudding | Oh, well yeah, on the desktop it ignores the .desktop extension because it treats it as a launcher. | 23:50 |
| TELL0 | I don't need a translator, I need to check spelling in spanish | 23:50 |
| onyxgaze_ | ok boot into cd, choose install ubuntu then before it loads the installer i get a no signal on the screen | 23:50 |
| maco | prometeus: name it same as the old so itll automatically unlock | 23:50 |
| yorkie_ian | jagO search for Language Translator and it should come up | 23:50 |
| trism | tensorpudding: apparently not for valid .desktop files, for instance check out /usr/share/applications in nautilus (don't see any way to disable this, not that I ever noticed before now) | 23:50 |
| hipstersandwich | onyxgaze_: Try with a different type of monitor cable, please. | 23:50 |
| tensorpudding | Optiplex never once mentioned that. | 23:50 |
| prometeus | maco: the old one... i don t remember it! i deleted it but no idea! | 23:51 |
| maco | prometeus: ok i think "login" | 23:51 |
| maco | prometeus: but i dont use gnome so i cant just compare to mine | 23:51 |
| onyxgaze_ | yeah thats what i thought hipstersandwich however i do not have a dvi cable to hand, i'll ste..borrow one from work tomoro then :) | 23:51 |
| prometeus | maco! yeaaah! | 23:51 |
| prometeus | i ll try now | 23:51 |
| prometeus | to set the wpa key :) | 23:51 |
| hipstersandwich | onyxgaze_: I will be here tomorrow the same time if you would like to talk to me again. | 23:51 |
| maco | tensorpudding: didnt mention what? | 23:52 |
| onyxgaze_ | ok thanks hipstersandwich | 23:52 |
| maco | tensorpudding: im pretty sure opti said s/he was looking at the desktop... | 23:52 |
